Talk:Bernard Goldberg

Untitled
Bernie Goldberg has moved into a position as commentator, taking a definite conservative bias. He title should be former journalist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhusick (talk • contribs) 04:47, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Goldberg's page appears to be fawning, unadulterated hagiography. Have the minders been at work cleaning it up? Activist (talk) 20:05, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Archived
The discussion page has been archived. McJeff (talk) 00:58, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * And how do I see the Archive?
 * Is it "not for public view"? Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 16:59, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Click the "through May 2009" link in the archive box. In my browser, it's just to the right of this section. Mark Shaw (talk) 17:49, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

No Controversy section?
I can't believe there is no listing of some of the more controversial things he has said. For example just last week on Bill O'Rielly's show I saw him claiming that Barack Obama had not released his birth certificate. Which of course is not true (and easily check-able). 24.207.226.108 (talk) 16:18, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * His remarks about liberals and children with Down Syndrome should be noted as well. Coolgamer (talk) 23:19, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

 * What are you referring to? Google finds (for me) one instance of his taking "liberals" to task for presumably not caring for the fact that Sarah Palin chose to take Trig Palin to term. Was that it?

 * (And, to the IP editor: you might have provided a link to a video/audio/transcript where Goldberg claims that Obama has not released his birth certificate.)

 * This isn't an appropriate place to argue about Goldberg himself, of course, but if (as the IP editor has suggested) there should be a "criticism" section, it should stand upon firm ground. Mark Shaw (talk) 05:33, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Bernie Goldberg (and his books) are very historically important, since he had a long career at CBS and came out of the cold to criticize. Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 17:04, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Obama has only released the short form of his birth certificate with only a handful of state officials seeing the full thing. This fact is well known. It is also commonly believed(well, at least on the right and some independents, and I agree with them here) that he has not released his birth certificate because he wants the birther's to stick around because they make the right and Tea Party goer's look bad. He could dispel these rumors easily by releasing his full birth certificate but he chooses not to (you can debate alternative reasons as to why he doesn't). As for coolgamer, what are these remarks exactly? Ink Falls  19:42, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Jon Stewart
Perhaps a reference to the ongoing feud and mutual criticism between Goldberg and the Daily Show's John Stewart? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.185.19.28 (talk) 05:43, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

 * That has been funny, but probably a little premature. We can see how it progresses, but just a reminder that WP is  not news.  Arzel (talk) 02:49, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

there should also be a consideration for adding a topic discussing his hypocrisy and biases, which are well documented through Youtube clips. Dmcvittie84 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:03, 22 April 2010 (UTC).

As of now, I don't think it should. Jon Stewart seems to get into brief feuds with a lot of people, but in the end it seems like recentism which leads to inessential news coverage. Truthsort (talk) 15:27, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Birthplace
Since his books often talk about his life in the Bronx, wouldn't it be clearer to list that as his birthplace instead of the less clear New York City? Kirk311 (talk) 00:52, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Miami ?
For some reason there is a Miami Wikiproject template on this page. In that there is nothing in the article about Miami, I am removing the template.GroveGuy (talk) 05:13, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Last Name
What kind of name is Goldberg? Lets tell more about his personal life, if he wants us to, and lets be nice to him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.98.124.118 (talk) 10:24, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Switch hitter?
Any information on his sexual preferences? Has he ever have a sexual experience with another male? 101.51.135.193 (talk) 11:32, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

1878–79 in English football

The 1878–79 season was the eighth season of competitive football in England.

National team
For the first time, England played a team other than Scotland. England played both Scotland and Wales at Kennington Oval, London, beating Wales 2–1. This match was played in atrocious weather conditions with the team captains agreeing to play only 30 minutes in each half. England gained revenge on Scotland for the previous year's debacle by beating them 5–4.

Note – TheFa.com credits England's 4th (equalising) goal against Scotland as an own goal by the Scottish goalkeeper, Robert Parlane.

Honours
Notes = Number in parentheses is the times that club has won that honour. * indicates new record for competition

Stack-o-Tracks

Stack-o-Tracks is an instrumental album release by the Beach Boys containing backing tracks to fifteen of their songs spanning their career to that point. As it was issued during one of their lowest commercial ebbs in the U.S., Stack-o-Tracks became the first Beach Boys album to fail to reach the US or UK charts. Until 1992's Summer in Paradise, it would remain their only official release to have this distinction.

The US versions of the album included a booklet with the bass lines, lead lines, chords and lyrics (to sing along with), whereas European editions contained just the lyrics and a different cover. Stack-o-Tracks quickly disappeared and was out of print for two decades. In 1990, Capitol Records re-issued it on CD, and again in 2001 - both releases without the booklet that accompanied the vinyl edition.

Stack-o-Tracks was only available in Duophonic, or fake stereo.

Track listing
'Beach Boys' Party! / Stack-O-Tracks bonus tracks'

In 1990, Stack-o-Tracks was paired on CD with Beach Boys' Party!, with bonus instrumental tracks. While Stack-o-Tracks was originally available only in mono or Duophonic sound, the CD includes true stereo mixes of several tracks. The ''Party! / Stack-o-Tracks'' CD was reissued in 2001.

Villa miseria

Villa miseria, villa de emergencia or just villa, is the informal term used in Argentina for shanty towns.

Name
The term is a noun phrase made up of the Spanish words villa (village, small town) and miseria (misery, destitution), and was adopted from Bernardo Verbitsky's 1957 novel Villa Miseria también es América (“Villa Miseria is also [a part of] America”).

Other terms used are asentamiento ("settlement") and villa de emergencia ("emergency village"), the latter being the original name; and, since recent years, shanty towns also are called euphemistically as barrios populares ("popular neighbourhoods"). In most parts of Argentina, the non-modified word villa usually refers to a villa miseria.

Informal settlements
These settlements consist of small houses or shacks made of tin, wood and other scrap material. The alleys are not usually paved, and narrow internal passages connect the different parts. The villas miseria have no sewerage. There may be water pipes passing through the settlement. Electric power is sometimes taken directly from the grid using illegal connections, which are perforce accepted by suppliers.

The villas range from small groups of precarious houses to larger, more organized communities with thousands of residents. In rural areas, the houses in the villas miseria might be made of mud and wood. There are villas miseria around and within most cities of the country. The villas draw people from several backgrounds, often local people who have fallen from an already precarious economic position. In most cases, a villa miseria is populated by the children and grandchildren of the original settlers, who have been unable to improve their situation.

Statistics
In July 2004 it was estimated that there were about 640 "precarious neighborhoods" in suburban Buenos Aires, with 690,000 residents and 111,000 households. The population of the villas miseria in the city of Buenos Aires doubled during the 1990s, reaching about 120,000 as of 2005.

By 2011, there were over 500,000 people living in more than 800 informal settlements around the periphery of Buenos Aires. Research from an NGO called 'A roof for my country' (UTPMP) found that of these settlements, 66% had been founded in the last fifteen years and 65% were still growing. Most villa (85%) had no sewage facilities, and a similar percentage had no access to gas.

The Government's statistics agency (INDEC) announced in 2016 that 8.8 million people, 32.2% of the population, were living in poverty. This was a dramatic leap in numbers from the 4.7% people living in poverty just three years before.

The non-profit TECHO estimated there more than 1,000 informal settlements in greater Buenos Aires in 2015. It stated that only 10% of villas had access to running water and 5% to sewage infrastructure.

Programs
Attempting to address the housing problem, de facto President Alejandro Lanusse established the National Housing Fund (FONAVI) in 1972. An amalgam of long-standing national housing programs and lending facilities previously managed by the National Mortgage Bank, the FONAVI helped coordinate slum clearance efforts and, since then, has put up over 25,000 housing units a year (both single-family and multi-family types).

Granting deeds on a lease-to-own basis, the fund mostly provides for households in Argentina's lowest income bracket and, thus, has historically had a collection rate of less than five per cent. The fund, one of the most important, is largely underwritten by national fuel and other excise taxes.

The military junta which ruled Argentina between 1974 and 1983 in the Dirty War attempted to destroy the informal slums by forcibly resettling people, which only succeeded in moving the villas miseria to new locations.

More recently, Mayor of Buenos Aires Horacio Rodriguez Larreta said that he intended to regularize all the informal settlements by 2023.

Villa 1-11-14
Villa 1-11-14 is an informal settlement in the Flores area of Buenos Aires of about 70,000 people. The average age is 24 years, compared to 40 elsewhere in the city. Some streets are controlled by drug-dealing gangs.

Villa 31
Villa 31 is a large villa miseria in the Retiro, Buenos Aires area of Buenos Aires, near the local railway station.

It dates from the 1930s and in 2017 had around 40,000 inhabitants. The city council planned to renovate the area by 2020, by improving housing, offering the opportunity for people to become home owners and connecting electricity, water and sewage facilities. The $320 million plan, financed by the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, aimed to resettle squatters into 1,350 new homes. At least 30% of the residents were concerned that they would not be rehoused.

In culture
Mundo Villa is a TV station, a radio channel (Mundo Sur), a magazine issued monthly and a website focusing specifically on villas.

Inspired by Mundo Villa, another new magazine La Garganta Poderosa ('The Mighty Throat') was set up in 2011.

Argentine painter Antonio Berni dealt with the hardships of living in a villa miseria through his series Juanito Laguna, a slum child, and Ramona Montiel, a prostitute.

César Aira published his novel La Villa in 2001 (released in English translation in 2013 as Shantytown). In it he examines the invisibility of slumdwellers.

Argentine writer Hugo Pezzini comments on the book: "The apparent absurdity of César Aira's novel La Villa provides an instance of resourceful mediation to semantically reorganize a situation of emergency and locate it within its particular rationale. In Argentina, a slum is popularly called 'villa miseria,' or simply 'la villa.' In politically correct language, that is, officially, is called 'villa de emergencia.'"

The adjective villera refers to these shantytowns, notably in the name of the popular music style cumbia villera.

GWR 2600 Class

The Great Western Railway (GWR) 2600 or Aberdare class was a class of 2-6-0 steam locomotive built between 1900 and 1907. They were a freight and light mineral development of the 3300 Bulldog and 4100 Badminton classes, both 4-4-0 locomotives. Therefore, the design was adapted and became a 2-6-0 type; the resulting locomotives were used for hauling coal trains between Aberdare and Swindon.

Numbering
The class began in 1900 with a prototype, No. 33, renumbered 2600 in 1912. The rest were numbered 2601–2680 and were built between 1901 and 1907.

British Railways
British Railways (BR) inherited nos. 2612/20/3/43/51/5/6/62/5/7/9/80 in 1948. By 31 August 1948, only four were left: nos. 2620, 2651, 2655, 2667.

Withdrawal
They were withdrawn from 1934 onwards. Five Aberdares (2640, 2648, 2649, 2652 & 2657) withdrawn in early 1939 were not cut up but stored as Second World War reserves. These five reentered service by January 1940. Their withdrawal began again in 1944 until the last member, number 2667, was withdrawn in October 1949. No examples were preserved.

Talk:BiCon (UK)

Untitled
I have put this piece in here so it doesn’t break the overall flow of the main text - however as you will see below I think the main editor is mistaken about a few points of our history

X-mass - As far as I am aware the event named by the above editor Bicon 4 was called the 4th national bisexual conference. It was only with the Seventh conference which called it self BiCon 7:The Seventh National Bisexual Conference was the name BiCon used. Since the organisers of the seventh previously ran SF and gaming Cons they called the event BiCon inside the organising group and this accidentally got used as the title. The organisers of BiCon 7 also chose to copy the SF and gaming Con style of event, going for accommodation on the same site as the workshops with events in the evening also on the same site. Also that year a group lead by someone who objected to the format of BiCon 7 held an alternative event the 1st International Bisexual Conference in London. Both prior to this and for the next two conferences after, the conferences were based on offering workshops in the day, possibly an off site disco in the evening and crashing/sleeping on friends floors. It was only with the 10th and 11th National conferences that the more modern format became established - a Friday, Saturday and Sunday event, called BiCon and using on-site accommodation, this led a much more extended vacation atmosphere as people knew that everybody was only 5 or 10 minutes away X-mass {editor is kate who was part of the team for Bicon 7, 13icon, and 2000)

--Lovingboth - They're right about the name of #4 and #7 being the first to use the name 'BiCon'. My memory is that it was for the venue's benefit too: they'd had SF cons there, but Kay (mhw@LJ) is the person to ask.

The bit about IBC1 is wrong - this was Fritz Klein proding his friends in the Netherlands. It was in 1991.

X-mass - Kay isnt the person to ask about site liasion as despite being in coventry I did the actual site liasion. I think we might have described the event to the site as like an SF con or may be later as BiCon I cant recall as I think kay had held Koancon there before. But I do remember haveing this big fight with Joy about calling the event BiCon 7 on the adversiing, and I think she was later outvoted by me and kay.

 * That's right, you did indeed do the site liaison because you had far more conrunning experience than I did. KoanCon had indeed been held at Coventry Poly, I think the year before, when Alex Z., Matt H and I were on the organising team; the reason it was called KoanCon was that its mascot was the Koan sculpture outside the Senate building at Warwick University, where KoanCon 1 had been held the previous year. As I remember, you and I picked 'BiCon' as a name because 1) it followed the 'xxxCon' format from SF/media cons; 2) it was much less of a mouthful than the 'full name' at the time; and 3)it just sounded good, like 'icon'. Ah, history! Kay Dekker 22:32, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

My memory say that there was another Bicon organised against us that year, I can remember the organiser of it kept telling people in london not to come to coventry and how we were dsetroying BiCon, or at least thats the reports we heared. And I thought it was IBC1 that he ran maybe it was ebc1? it was one day event in a hall in london and the main organiser was pretty much univerally hated and subsquently left the community. I remember Liz and Giles being on the team and organising the after event party in a hall somewhere with a load of beer on sale or return. I also remember a bunch of T-shirts at the back with things like Byke written on them as opposed to dyke

 * You may be confusing several events. The event run by the universally hated organiser, with Liz, User:Lovingboth and myself on the team among others, was IBC2, and it was in 1992, the same year as BiCon 10.  Giles wasn't on the team; he just helped save the day at the last minute sorting out the sale or return.  IBC2 was never billed as competition with BiCon 10, but the UHO disliked the BiCon 10 team and didn't cooperate with them.  BiCon 7 was before my time but this is the first I've heard of a rival event.

 * Yes your right I am confused. However the said person did harrange us for not running BiCon correctly and tried to persude people from london not to come. But yes your right about IBC2 (and thanks for correcting me)

 * Incidentally, can I encourage you to create a Wikipedia account? It's easy and quick, and polite especially when you're taking part in potentially contentious edits. — ciphergoth 12:25, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

 * thanyou your right and it was easy

 * Yep, although the drinks weren't on sale or return! He and I went round to a local off-licence, after UHO (who didn't like anything he didn't control: he was miffed at 1991 too) told the other organisers, an hour or so before the start of the social event, at the end of the two days, that the bar he was supposed to have organised wasn't going to happen. My subsequent Bifrost article included how much we sold and my memory is telling me what was left was used at the LBG because the bar at the event had already made a profit.

 * UHO was also a reason for BiCon7's publicity being so ishy - he had the LBG's crucial card index file of people's names and addresses and wanted money - I'm not sure whether for himself, the people who'd do the addressing and stuffing of envelopes or for the LBG, who with the burden of a loss-making Bi-Monthly needed it - to do a mailshot. — Lovingboth 13:13, September 8, 2005 (UTC) (getting better with some of the markup commands)

Is BiFest really rightly described as an offshoot focusing on one aspect of BiCon? I'd say it was a deliberate attempt to get people into the bi community and to hear the 'bi is valid' message that wouldn't be going to BiCon?

I'd create a page for it but Wikipedia scares me. Adjectivemarcus 16:27, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

--X-mass I hacked a BiFest page from the BiCon (UK) page please go and edit it! Please!!!!!!

can we use the article in bi community news september 2010 on the history of bicons as verification for this wikipedia page? X-mass (talk) 02:26, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Act 250 (Vermont law)

Act 250, Vermont's Land Use and Development Act, 10 V.S.A. § 6001 et seq., is a law passed in 1970 by the Vermont legislature designed to mitigate the effects of development through an application process that addresses the environmental and community impacts of projects that exceed a threshold in size.

Background
Development pressures resulting from the opening of two interstate highways (I-89 and I-91) made access to the state much easier for year-round visitors, creating community concerns including road congestion, increased environmental problems, burden on local services, and rising taxes. Governor Deane C. Davis appointed a study commission chaired by state representative Arthur Gibb in 1969 to develop a statewide law to address these concerns, as no environmental regulations or land use controls existed. A major contributor to the construction of the law was Laura G. Wheeler, in consultation with then Vermont Attorney General James Jeffords.

The law
The law created nine District Environmental Commissions to review large-scale development projects using 10 criteria that are designed to safeguard the environment, community life, and aesthetic character of the state. They have the power to issue or deny a permit to real estate developers for any project that encompasses more than 10 acres (40,000 m2), or more than one acre (4,000 m2) for towns that do not have permanent zoning and subdivision bylaws. The law also applies to any development project with more than 10 housing units or housing lots; and may also apply for construction proposed above 2500 ft of elevation. Act 250 also created the Vermont Environmental Board to review appeals coming from District Commission rulings.

District Commissions
The district commissions are:

 * District 1: Rutland County
 * District 2: Windham County and southern Windsor County
 * District 3: northern Windsor County and Orange County
 * District 4: Chittenden County
 * District 5: Washington and Lamoille counties
 * District 6: Franklin and Grand Isle counties
 * District 7: Caledonia, Orleans and Essex counties
 * District 8: Bennington County
 * District 9: Addison County

Ten Criteria
The 10 Criteria are as follows:
 * 1) Will not result in undue water or air pollution. Included are the following considerations: (A) Headwaters; (B) Waste disposal (including wastewater and stormwater); (C) Water Conservation; (D) Floodways; (E) Streams; (F) Shorelines; and (G) Wetlands.
 * 2) Has sufficient water available for the needs of the subdivision or development.
 * 3) Will not unreasonably burden any existing water supply.
 * 4) Will not cause unreasonable soil erosion or affect the capacity of the land to hold water.
 * 5) Will not cause unreasonably dangerous or congested conditions with respect to highways or other means of transportation.
 * 6) Will not create an unreasonable burden on the educational facilities of the municipality.
 * 7) Will not create an unreasonable burden on the municipality in providing governmental services.
 * 8) Will not have an undue adverse effect on aesthetics, scenic beauty, historic sites or natural areas, and 8(A) will not imperil necessary wildlife habitat or endangered species in the immediate area.
 * 9) Conforms with the Capability and Development Plan which includes the following considerations: (A) The impact the project will have on the growth of the town or region: (B) Primary agricultural soils; (C) Productive forest soils; (D) Earth resources; (E) Extraction of earth resources; (F) Energy conservation; (G) Private utility services; (H) Costs of scattered developments; (J) Public utility services; (K) Development affecting public investments; and (L) Rural growth areas.
 * 10) Is in conformance with any local or regional plan or capital facilities program.

The 10 criteria have changed little since the adoption of Act 250 in 1970. Efforts have been made over the years to make the permitting process work more efficiently, along with performance standards. Today, the District Commissions receive between 600 and 800 applications per year, and hold hearings on an average of 20% of these. They have an approval record of 98%, but this rate includes plans modified during the hearing process, with conditions typically attached to permits when granted.

Act 250 jurisdiction attaches forever to permits, except to permits for quarries and logging at elevations over 2500 ft. These permits are allowed to close when the work required to complete them is complete. There is not sufficient funding to support personnel to verify proper completion of the required activity, so the Act 250 office must rely on the permit applicant to truthfully verify completion.

Act 250 creators included Laura G. Wheeler of Barre Town, Vermont; then Attorney General James Jeffords, Howard Rusk of New York; Jeanne Garvin of Montpelier, Vermont; and Lawrence Gurnette of Michigan. The intent of the Act was to create a more esthetic Vermont by protecting rivers, air, the forest's ability to support wildlife, and to preserve Vermont's natural resources. One concern was forest conservation, and the prevention of excessive clear cutting.

Controversy
The law has been controversial since its implementation. It is often costly to implement restrictions placed on commercial projects.

In his 2002 gubernatorial campaign, Governor Jim Douglas ran on a platform that included restructuring Act 250.

It has been known as the "third rail" of Vermont politics. In 2023, state senator Ann Cummings argued that it has been more controversial than Vermont's civil unions law passed in 2000. She claimed that the law brought about the number one challenge Vermont faces which is whether it wants to be a "state or a theme park".

Algernon Percy, 6th Duke of Northumberland

Algernon George Percy, 6th Duke of Northumberland, (20 May 1810 – 2 January 1899), styled Lord Lovaine between 1830 and 1865 and Earl Percy between 1865 and 1867, was a British Conservative politician. He held office under the Earl of Derby as Paymaster General and Vice-President of the Board of Trade in 1859 and under Benjamin Disraeli as Lord Privy Seal between 1878 and 1880.

Background
Northumberland was the eldest son of George Percy, Lord Lovaine, eldest son of Algernon Percy, 1st Earl of Beverley, a younger son of Hugh Percy, 1st Duke of Northumberland. From his father's succession as second Earl of Beverley in 1830, Percy was styled Lord Lovaine. In 1865, Lord Beverley inherited the dukedom of Northumberland from his first cousin, Algernon Percy, 4th Duke of Northumberland, and thenceforth Lovaine was styled Earl Percy. His mother was Louisa, daughter of the Hon. James Stuart-Wortley-Mackenzie, second son of Prime Minister John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute.

Lord Josceline Percy and Lieutenant-General Lord Henry Percy were his younger brothers.

Northumberland attended Eton College. He owned 186,000 acres with 181,000 in Northumberland and the remainder in Surrey, Middlesex and Durham.

Political career
Northumberland sat in the House of Commons as Member of Parliament for Bere Alston between 1831 and 1832 and for Northumberland North between 1852 and 1865. He served Civil Lord of the Admiralty between 1858 and 1859 and as Paymaster General and Vice-President of the Board of Trade in 1859 in Lord Derby's second government. The latter year he was also sworn of the Privy Council.

In 1867 he succeeded in the dukedom on the death of his father and entered the House of Lords. He joined the Earl of Beaconsfield's second government as Lord Privy Seal in 1878, with a seat in the cabinet, a post he held until the fall of the government in 1880.

Northumberland was also Lord Lieutenant of Northumberland between 1877 and 1899. He was made a Knight of the Garter in 1886.

Family
Northumberland married Louisa, daughter of Henry Drummond, in 1845. She died in December 1890. Northumberland survived her by nine years and died in January 1899, aged 88. The Duke and his wife were buried in the Percy family vault in Westminster Abbey. He was succeeded in the dukedom by his eldest son, Henry, Earl Percy. Northumberland's second son Lord Algernon Percy was also a politician.

At the Percy seat Alnwick Castle, Northumberland, he enlisted Anthony Salvin to do considerable interior works in the neo-Gothic style, and purchased the collection of paintings amassed by the Roman painter Vincenzo Camuccini, to add to the pictures at Alnwick, swelled by the collection formerly at Northumberland House, The Strand, London, which was demolished in 1874.

Sir Charles Seely, 2nd Baronet

Sir Charles Hilton Seely, 2nd Baronet, VD, KGStJ (7 July 1859 – 26 February 1926) was a British industrialist, landowner and Liberal Unionist (later Liberal Party) politician who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Lincoln from 1895 to 1906 and for Mansfield from 1916 to 1918. He was a Justice of the Peace for Hampshire and Nottinghamshire and the Deputy Lieutenant for Nottinghamshire. He was also a Knight of Grace of the Order of St John.

Early life
Seely was born in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, the eldest son of Sir Charles Seely, 1st Baronet (1833–1915), an industrialist and major land-owner in both Nottinghamshire and the Isle of Wight. He was educated at Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge, and inherited the family estates at Sherwood Lodge in Nottinghamshire, and Gatcombe in the Isle of Wight.

Political career
Seely was a Liberal Unionist for the early part of his political career. He first stood for election to Parliament at the 1886 general election, when he unsuccessfully contested Mid Derbyshire. He stood for Rushcliffe at the 1892 election without success, but won a seat in Lincoln at the 1895 election, which his grandfather Charles Seely had represented until 1885 as a Liberal. He was re-elected again in 1900 with Conservative backing. However, in February 1904 he lost the backing of the local Conservative and Liberal Unionist Association over his support for free trade. The Conservatives adopted Henry Page Croft as their candidate in place of Seely, who stood in the 1906 general election as a Free Trade candidate.

Despite this setback, he again stood for Lincoln in the General Election of January 1910 as a Liberal Unionist in support of Free Trade and was again opposed by a Liberal and a Conservative. This time he finished in third place and did not stand for Parliament again for another six years. He instead served as High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire for 1912.

He was the successful Liberal Party candidate at a by-election in September 1916 in the Mansfield division of Nottinghamshire. At the 1918 general election, after boundary changes, he stood in the new Broxtowe division of Nottinghamshire, but the seat was won with a large majority by the Labour Party candidate. Seely did not stand for Parliament again.

Seely was a lieutenant-colonel in the 5th (Isle of Wight, "Princess Beatrice′s") Volunteer Battalion, Hampshire Regiment, and was awarded the Volunteer Officers' Decoration (VD) on 15 August 1902.

Family
Seely was a member of a family of politicians, industrialists and significant landowners. His grandfather Charles Seely (1803–1887), father Sir Charles Seely, 1st Baronet, younger brother John Edward Bernard Seely, 1st Baron Mottistone, and son Sir Hugh Seely, 3rd Baronet and 1st Baron Sherwood were all Members of Parliament. His uncle was the civil engineer, businessman and politician Sir Francis Evans, 1st Baronet.

Seely married Hilda Lucy (née Grant), granddaughter of the notable inventor Sir Thomas Tassell Grant KCB, FRS, in 1891, and they had six children:

Sir Charles died in Basford aged 66.
 * Violet Lucy Emily Seely (1892–1979), who married the 2nd Viscount Allendale KG a grandson of the 5th Marquess of Londonderry. Violet's grandson is George William Beaumont Howard, the current and 13th Earl of Carlisle whose principal family seat was Castle Howard.
 * Charles Grant Seely (1894–1917), killed in action in World War I at the Second Battle of Gaza, and commemorated in St Olave's Church, Gatcombe, on the Isle of Wight.
 * Sir Hugh Seely (1898–1970), 3rd Baronet and 1st Baron Sherwood, who became an MP and a government minister
 * Ivy Angela Seely MBE (born 1898)
 * Victor Basil John Seely (1900–1980), who inherited the baronetcy on the death of his brother Hugh, and whose son SIr Nigel Edward Seely (b. 1923) is the 5th of the Seely Baronets
 * Squadron Leader Nigel Richard William Seely (1902–1943) who married Isabella Elinor Margarete von Rieben, of the old noble family of von Rieben. He was killed in action in World War II, and was buried at St Mary's Church, Brook on the Isle of Wight. Their son Hilton Nigel Matthew Seely married 1971 Leonie Mary Taylor, daughter of Brigadier George Taylor CBE, DSO & Bar, KHS

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Yenish language

Yenish (French: Yeniche, German: Jenisch) is a variety of German spoken by the Yenish people, former nomads living mostly in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Alsace and other parts of France.

Components
Yenish has been documented since the 18th century. Yenish speakers generally speak their local German dialect, enriched by the Yenish vocabulary, which is derived in part from Rotwelsch, with influences from Yiddish, Romani, and other minority languages of the region.

The Yenish vocabulary contains many words of Romani and Yiddish (and through the latter route, Hebrew) origin; it also has many unusual metaphors and metonyms that replace the standard German words. Some original Yeniche words have become parts of standard German.

The Yenish were originally travelers, i.e. people with professions outside of mainstream society that required them to move from town to town, such as showpeople, tinkers, and door-to-door salesmen. Today, the Yenish jargon is only used in certain isolated locations, such as certain poor districts of Berlin, Münster, some Eifel villages, and Luxembourg.

Individual variants of the Yenish language can be quite distinct, and have names of their own, such as Masematte, Lepper Talp, Heenese Vlek, and others.

GWR 6400 Class

The Great Western Railway (GWR) 6400 Class is a class of 0-6-0 pannier tank steam locomotive introduced by Charles Collett in 1932. All 40 examples were 'auto-fitted' – equipped with the remote-control equipment needed for working autotrains.

The 1936 GWR 7400 Class was a similar class, without the autotrain apparatus, but with a higher boiler pressure of 180 psi, providing a small but useful increase in power. An initial build of 30 in 1936-1937 was added to by British Railways in two batches each of ten locos in 1948 and 1950. These were destined for a short life, the briefest being only nine years. A minor visual difference between the 5400 and earlier 6400, and the later series of 6400, with the 7400 classes was at the join between cab and bunker. The 5400 and early 6400 had an arc whereas the later 6400 and the 7400 class was straight. The early locos also had a lip at the leading edge of the cab roof, whereas the later locos had a plain corner edge.

Both classes were closely related to the 1930 GWR 5400 Class, which was in turn an evolution of both the Armstrong 1874 GWR 850 Class and the Dean 1891 GWR 2021 Class. Thus the basic design was almost sixty years old when new, the 4 ft driving wheels being the main distinguishing factor, apart from the more modern profile. There were also superficial similarities with the GWR 645 Class as extant in the 1930s, that also had 4 ft wheels and 24 in stroke cylinders (and by then pannier tanks and full cabs).

Operations
The smaller wheels of the 6400's permitted operation in hillier locations than the 5400 Class and allocations were initially to the South Wales valleys.

Engines of class 6400 worked on many of the ex-GWR branch lines in Devon and around Plymouth until the early 1960s, when the lines closed or diesel multiple units took over services. No. 6430 was a regular engine on the old Tavistock South branch line and would often run with two autocoaches. No. 6412 was allocated at Gloucester Horton Rd loco shed (85B) and operated one of the last 'Chalford Railcar' autotrain services between Gloucester and Chalford on 31 October 1964.

Being allocated to Plymouth Laira the type was trialled on the former Lostwithiel and Fowey Railway, although a 1400 Class 0-4-2 engine was normally used.

Withdrawal
The below list shows when all of the original 6400's and later 7400's were withdrawn from service. The members of the GWR 6400 Class and the GWR 7400 Class were No. 6419 and No. 7439 respectively.

Preservation
Three of the 6400 Class have survived to preservation:

User:J Leatherwood

Also known as: 157.182.123.51

Jeffrey M. Leatherwood was born on October 20, 1970 in Nuremburg, Germany, and spent his formative years living on military bases. As a young child, he was surrounded by Army culture. His late father, Grady, was a career NCO who twice served in Vietnam, and his grandfather, Woodrow, won two medals fighting across France and Belgium in WWII.

After serving a single term with the U.S. Army's field artillery branch, Leatherwood attended Western Carolina University, a small North Carolina college, where he received two bachelor's degrees in English and History. After a brief stint in newspaper journalism and advertising, Leatherwood returned for a master's degree at Cullowhee in 2003.

It was during this period that Leatherwood began the research for what would become his first book, Nine From Aberdeen. Within one year, he had finished a book-length master's thesis on the hitherto unknown U.S. Army Ordnance bomb squads of World War II, a forerunner of our modern-day EOD services who still risk their lives in war and peace.

Leatherwood went on to earn his doctorate in 19th and 20th Century U.S. and World History at West Virginia University. During his five years as a WVU graduate student, he became an educator, teaching a variety of undergraduate classes, including Modern Military History. Leatherwood also completed his dissertation on the 1919 Charlotte Streetcar Strike, one of North Carolina's greatest peacetime tragedies.

After graduation in 2009, Dr. Leatherwood has continued to teach Humanities and History courses for WVU's Eberly College of Arts and Sciences. After two years of further research and writing, "Nine from Aberdeen," was published in 2012 through Cambridge Scholars Publishing, a United Kingdom press committed to helping first-time academic writers.

Leatherwood has been invited to speak at national EOD reunions in support of his book on World War II bomb disposal. Leatherwood has future plans to publish his dissertation on the Charlotte Strike as a full-length regional history through a major state university press.

Smashes, Thrashes & Hits

Smashes, Thrashes & Hits is a compilation album by the American hard rock band Kiss. It was the fourth hits album overall but the second hits album released by the band in the United States (Killers and Chikara were not released there originally). Of the 15 songs on the album, two were new compositions, and three were released after the band's unmasking in 1983. The remaining 10 were all released during the band's years in make-up.

The two new songs on Smashes, Thrashes & Hits were "Let's Put the X in Sex" and "(You Make Me) Rock Hard," which featured a similar polished production style as 1987's Crazy Nights. They were both produced and co-written by guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley and were accompanied by videos that received moderate airplay on MTV. Unusual for Kiss videos, Paul Stanley never plays the guitar in either video for the new songs.

Nearly all of the songs recorded by the band's original lineup were altered in one way or another, and the Axeology website has made a detailed walkthrough of the alterations, which include a different bass line, recorded by Gene Simmons in 1975, for the song "Rock and Roll All Night" [sic]. "Beth" was re-recorded with lead vocals by drummer Eric Carr, who had replaced the original drummer Peter Criss in 1980. It was Carr's first lead vocal on a Kiss album. The cover art was done by Amy Guip and directed by Mitchell Kanner.

Reception
Smashes, Thrashes & Hits was certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA on February 26, 1996.

In the United States Smashes, Thrashes & Hits is the best-selling Kiss album since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking record sales in 1991 with 830,000 copies sold until March 4, 2012.

Tuda of Lindisfarne

Tuda of Lindisfarne (died 664), also known as Saint Tuda, was appointed to succeed Colman as Bishop of Lindisfarne. He served for less than a year. Although raised in Ireland, he was a staunch supporter of Roman practices, being tonsured in the Roman manner and celebrating Easter according to the Roman Computus. However, he was consecrated as bishop in Ireland.

Life
Upon Colman's departure from Lindisfarne, he requested the king to appoint Abbot Eata of Melrose Abbey as his successor as Abbot of Lindisfarne. Tuda was appointed bishop of the Northumbrians. Tuda had been educated in the south of Ireland.

Tuda became bishop in 664 and died in that same year. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (in its entry for 656) includes a 664 charter for the minster of Medhamsted, or Peter-borough, which lists Tuda as among the consecrators.

The same Chronicle for the year 664 records that Tuda was one of many who died in the plague of that year.

Tuda's feast day is 21 October.

Westfield Stratford City

Westfield Stratford City is a shopping centre in Stratford, East London, which opened on 13 September 2011. With a total retail floor area of 1910000 sqft, it is the largest urban shopping centre in the UK by land area and the 4th-largest shopping centre in the UK by retail space, behind Westfield London (White City), the MetroCentre, and the Trafford Centre.

Originally fully owned by the Westfield Group, in November 2010 ABP Pension Fund and CPP Investment Board each purchased a 25% shareholding, with Westfield retaining 50%. Westfield's holding is now owned by Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield following Unibail-Rodamco's acquisition of Westfield Corporation in 2018.

Westfield Stratford City is adjacent to the London Olympic Park, International Quarter London, East Village, Stratford Regional and Stratford International stations. The shopping centre is part of a large multi-purpose development project called Stratford City. It is promoted as contributing significantly to the local economy, with the creation of up to 10,000 permanent jobs including 2,001 going to local people. However, there are counter-reports of significant harm to other local businesses due to the preponderance of chain stores.

The site was formerly occupied by Stratford Works and Locomotive Depot.

Retail area
The shopping centre is anchored by a 240000 sqft John Lewis department store, a 32000 sqft Waitrose supermarket, a 136000 sqft Marks & Spencer department store, a 24-hour casino (Aspers) and a 20 screen all-digital Vue cinema. The shopping centre also has a 267-room Premier Inn hotel, a Holiday Inn with 350 rooms and Staybridge Suites. The shopping centre has approximately 280 stores and 70 restaurants.

Transport
To the south of the site lies Stratford station which is served by London Underground's Central and Jubilee lines, Greater Anglia, Elizabeth line, London Overground, Docklands Light Railway, and a number of c2c services. To the north lies Stratford International station, which is served by Southeastern High Speed and Docklands Light Railway services.

Stratford bus station and Stratford City bus station are served by numerous London Buses routes and National Express and Terravision long-distance services.

According to Westfield, while the site supports a 5,000 space car park, 80% of the shoppers arrive at the centre on public transport.

In popular culture
In September 2011 Nicole Scherzinger marked the opening of Westfield Stratford City with a performance.

In January 2012, The X Factor singer Olly Murs filmed a music video for his single "Oh My Goodness" at Westfield Stratford City.

French Pot

It's the French that originated the process, hence the name French pot. --74.130.206.2 03:44, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Privately owned franchise?
The following text was recently added: "The Columbus-, Cincinnati- and Dayton-area retail stores are all part of a privately owned franchise based out of a corporate office/manufacturing plant, and retail store housed in a corporate center on Bethel Road in Columbus."

I think that should have read "... Columbus- Dayton- and Lexington-area ...", because the Cincinnati stores are part of "corporate". Please confirm and correct the articlae as appropriate. --DAW0001 (talk) 14:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Is it useful that words like Caramel, Brownie, Chocolate, Vanilla are wikilinks? I don't think so....--DAW0001 (talk) 02:26, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

No air whipped in?
Air isn't whipped in, but is trapped as the base freezes. This is the same as for any other ice cream manufacturing. Graeter's may have less air because of the "french pot" process--but in reality it is a horizontal batch freezer which traps less air than the vertically spinning machines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.192.38.94 (talk) 01:12, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

1952?
There's a note at the bottom of the page that says Louis Charles Graeter was born in 1952. Should this be 1852? That would make more sense if he started the company in the 1870s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.232.40.141 (talk) 21:04, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

Arturo Michelena

Francisco Arturo Michelena Castillo (16 June 1863 –  29 July 1898) was a Venezuelan painter known for his historical and genre scenes and portraits.

Biography
His father, Juan Antonio Michelena (1832-1918) was also a painter. His mother, Socorro Castillo (1839-1909), was the daughter of the muralist, Pedro Castillo (painter).

He began to paint at a very early age, with lessons from his father. In 1874, aged only eleven, he drew the illustrations for the American edition of Costumbres Venezolanas (Venezuelan Customs) by the journalist Francisco de Sales Pérez (1836-1926), who became his sponsor and introduced him to the circle of influential people associated with the statesman, Antonio Guzmán Blanco, in hopes of getting him a scholarship. Later, he received lessons from a French emigrant painter named Constanza de Sauvage, who had been a student of Eugène Devéria.

From 1879 to 1882, he and his father operated a private painting academy in Valencia; fulfilling orders for portraits, wall paintings and copies of the Old Masters. In 1883, this exposure enabled him to enter two paintings in the "Great Exhibition of the Centennial of the Birth of El Libertador" (Simón Bolívar), where he was awarded a silver medal.

Two years later, he was awarded a government grant to study in Europe. He travelled to Paris, in the company of Martín Tovar y Tovar, where he enrolled at the Académie Julian and took lessons from Jean-Paul Laurens. Encouraged by Laurens, he entered the Salon of 1887 with a painting called "The Sick Child", which was awarded a gold medal in the second class; the highest honor awarded to a foreigner up to that time. Years later, the painting was acquired by the Astor family and taken to New York. He received another gold medal at the Exposition Universelle (1889) for his depiction of Charlotte Corday headed to the gallows.

That same year, he suddenly returned to Venezuela and, shortly after, married Lastenia Tello Mendoza, a well known art collector. After that, he and his bride returned to Paris. In 1890, he was hired to provide illustrations for Hernani by Victor Hugo. He also received a commission from the Venezuelan government, to create a work that would be presented to the city of New York, in thanks for the hospitality shown to General José Antonio Páez, during his exile there. He produced "Vuelvan Caras" (About Face), depicting the General at the Battle of Las Queseras del Medio.

He contracted tuberculosis in 1892 and, on the advice of his doctors, returned once again to Venezuela. There, he painted fashion portraits and was named the official painter to President Joaquín Crespo; receiving a major commission to paint decorations at the Palacio de Miraflores, the official residence.

He died of his tuberculosis in 1898, aged only thirty-five, leaving numerous works unfinished.

Sakina bint Husayn

Sakīna bint al-Ḥusayn (سكينة بنت الحسين) (between 667 and 671 CE – 8 April 671), also known as Āmina (آمنة), was a descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. She was the daughter of Husayn ibn Ali, the third Shia Imam, and Rubab bint Imra al-Qais. Sakina was a young child in 680 at Karbala, where she witnessed the massacre of her father and his supporters by the forces of the Umayyad caliph Yazid ({{Reign|676 - 680 ). The women and children, among them Sakina, were marched to the capital Damascus, where they were paraded in the streets and then imprisoned.

Birth
Sakina or Sukayna (سكينة) was the epithet given to her by her mother, while her name is variously given in the sources as Āmina (آمنة) or Amīna (اَمینة) or Umayma (اُمیمة). The last one is less likely, however. Her father was Husayn ibn Ali, the third Shia Imam and the grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Sakina was born to the first wife of Husayn, Rubab, who was the daughter of Imra' al-Qays ibn Adi, a chief of the Banu Kalb tribe. After remaining childless for some years, Sakina was the first child of the couple and possibly Husayn's eldest daughter, although some have reported that his eldest daughter was Fatima, born to Umm Ishaq bint Talha, the widow of Hasan ibn Ali, whom Husayn married to fulfil the last wishes of his brother. Sakina was born in Medina, but her birthdate is not known with certainty. Various reports give the years 47, 49, or 51 AH, that is, circa 671 CE. The Islamicist Wilferd Madelung places her birth sometime after the 661 assassination of her grandfather Ali ibn Abi Talib, the first Shia Imam.

Battle of Karbala (680) and captivity
Husayn denounced the accession of the Umayyad caliph Yazid ibn Mu'awiya in 680. When pressed by Yazid's agents to pledge his allegiance, Husayn first left his hometown of Medina for Mecca and later set off for Kufa in modern-day Iraq, accompanied by his family and a small group of supporters. Among them was Sakina, a young child at the time, aged between five and twelve. Their small caravan was intercepted and massacred in Karbala, near Kufa, by the Umayyad forces who first surrounded them for some days and cut off their access to the nearby river Euphrates. As a young child, Sakina is often the narrator of Karbala in Shia ritual commemorations, and a common narrative in commemoration of the massacre is that Sakina threw herself in front of Husayn's horse when he was leaving for the battlefield to spend a few more seconds with her father before he was killed. When Husayn was beheaded, the Umayyad soldiers pillaged his camp, and severed the heads of Husayn and his fallen companions, which they then raised on spears for display. Another common commemorative narrative is that Sakina's earrings were violently torn from her ears during the pillage. The women and children were then taken captive and marched to Kufa and later the capital Damascus. The captives were paraded in the streets of Damascus, and then imprisoned for an unknown period of time. Out of modesty, Sakina may have asked Sahl ibn Sa'd, a companion of Muhammad, to convince the soldier carrying his father's head to walk at some distance to avoid the gazes of the onlooking crowds in Damascus. The prominent Twelver traditionist Majlesi describes in his  a dream he attributes to Sakina, in which she saw her grandmother Fatima, daughter of Muhammad, mourning in the heaven while holding the blood-stained shirt of Husayn. The captives were eventually freed by Yazid. They were allowed to return to Medina, or were escorted there.

Personal life
Sakina was of marriage age at Karbala by some accounts, according to which Husayn had earlier allowed his nephew Hasan ibn Hasan to decide which cousin he would marry, Sakina or Fatima. The first marriage of the young Sakina was to Abd-Allah ibn Hasan, another cousin, who was killed in Karbala. This marriage was probably not consummated, and she never remarried by some Shia accounts. In particular, only this childless marriage to Abd-Allah is mentioned by the Twelver scholars al-Mufid in his biographical  and by Tabarsi  in his. Alternatively, some Shia and Sunni authors write that Sakina later married Mus'ab ibn al-Zubayr, the Zubayrid governor of Iraq, who was killed in 691 by the Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan ((r. 685 – 705)). The couple had a daughter, named Fatima, who died in childhood. These authors include the Shia jurist Ibn Shahrashub in his biographical  and the Sunni historian Ibn Khallikan  in his. Caliph Abd al-Malik proposed to Sakina after the death of her husband Mus'ab but was turned down, and she apparently rejected marriage proposals by men of power for political reasons. She later returned to Medina from Kufa, where the couple lived. Quoted by the Sunni jurist Ibn Qutayba in his biographical, there is a tradition that some Kufans wanted her to stay but she reproached them for killing her grandfather Ali ibn Abi Talib, her father Husayn, her uncle, and now her husband Mus'ab. The caliphate of Ali ((r. 656 – 661)) indeed ended with his assassination in Kufa.

Sakina later married Abd-Allah ibn Uthman ibn Abd-Allah, according to Ibn Shahrashub and the Shia historian Ibn al-Kalbi. The couple had three children, named Uthman, Hakim, and Rubayha. When Abd-Allah died, Sakina by some accounts married Zayd ibn Amr, the grandson of the third caliph Uthman ibn Affan ((r. 644 – 656)). She died as his widow, according to the Islamicist Rizwi Faizer. Alternatively, she may have married Ibrahim ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Awf after Zayd died. Neither of the last two marriages is said to have lasted and both are reported in and. Various other accounts state that either or both of Zayd and Uthman divorced her, and some add Asbagh ibn Abd al-Aziz ibn Marwan in Egypt as another husband. He reportedly died even before Sakina arrived there. While it was not uncommon among her tribe of Quraysh for a woman to marry several times, the modern linguist Albert Arazi suggests that the reports of her many marriages are tendentious. Some have similarly argued that such reports are defamatory and contradictory, possibly fabricated by those opposed to the Alids, who are the descendants of Ali ibn Abi Talib.

Activism and poetry
Sakina is described by early biographical sources as beautiful, generous, wise, and modest. Her social standing was high, and she is listed as a trustworthy narrator of hadith by the Sunni traditionist Ibn Hibban in his. She was visited by the Quraysh elders, and attended the meetings of their tribal council. She was also highly critical of the Umayyads. Whenever her grandfather Ali ibn Abi Talib was cursed from the Umayyad pulpits, Sakina returned their curse, according to al-Isfahani and the Sunni historian Ibn Asakir. There are also controversial reports that she was not veiled in public, that she insisted in her marriage contracts on her autonomy and on her husband's monogamy, that she took one of her husbands to court for violating this clause, and that a hairstyle carried her name. The Moroccan feminist writer and sociologist Fatema Mernissi thus considers Sakina as a symbol against forced hijab, while the Egyptian biographer Aisha Abd al-Rahman  regards such reports fabricated by the anti-Alids; among them were the Umayyads. Sakina was also noted for her eloquence and poetry. She is said to have hosted at her house poets whom she listened to and offered her feedback and monetary reward from behind a curtain or through a maid. The guests may have included the contemporary poets al-Farazdaq, Jarir ibn Atiya , and Kuthayyir. She also reportedly arbitrated disagreements among poets or their supporters. Such reports are scattered in the early sources, including the biographical by the Sunni scholar Ibn al-Jawzi  and, a collection of poems by the early historian and musicologist Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani. At the same time, the credibility of these reports has been questioned by some Shia authors, including the prominent Twelver theologian al-Hilli. Yet some others have suggested that such reports may refer not to Sakina bint Husayn but to Sakina bint Khalid ibn Mus'ab Zubayri. In particular, an elegy is ascribed to her in memory of her father Husayn, which ends as follows.

"O my eyes, occupy yourself in weeping all your life; weep with tears of blood, not for a child, family or friends, rather for the son of the Apostle of God. Pour out your tears and blood."

Death and shrine

Sakina died in Medina on 5 Rabi' al-Awwal 117 AH (8 April 735) at the age of sixty-eight and during the reign of the Umayyad caliph Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik ((r. 724 – 743)), according to Ibn Asakir and the Sunni historian al-Baladhuri. This is also reported by the Sunni biographer Ibn Sa'd and by the Sunni traditionist al-Nawawi. Other given dates in the early sources are 92 AH (710-1) and 94 AH (712-3). Another report states that she died in Kufa at the age of seventy-seven, though Mernissi finds this unlikely. Yet there are also reports that she died in Mecca, Damascus, or Egypt. Sakina was buried in al-Baqi cemetery, but there is also a shrine attributed to her in Cairo, Egypt. There is yet another tomb in the Bab al-Saghir cemetery in Damascus and another one existed in Tiberias, Palestine. Both are falsely attributed to Sakina, according to the historian Yaqut al-Hamawi, who considers Medina to be her resting place.
