Talk:Danvers Opening

2. g6??
Can we add a section about the popular blunder 2. g6?? which leads to 3. Qxe5+, winning the rook. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteelerFan1933 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

 * The Talking Drum featuring Bernard Parham

I'm not sure this link belongs in this article. Maybe it should go in an article on the Matrix system or on Bernard Parham? --Malathion 03:35, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I see your point, in that the article is not primarily about the Parham Attack as such -- so, particularly since there's no Wikipedia article on Parham, I moved the link to the article up into the text so that it is a link from "Bernard Parham." Hope that helps. Krakatoa 08:36, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

By the way: I read somewhere that Nakamura said he played the opening on the suggestion of Jason Doss, another Indiana chessplayer who I presume is related to Parham. I'll see if I can find a source for that. --Malathion 09:33, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Jason Doss as a child used to study Qh5 and the chess matrix from Bernie. The tournament scene in Indiana sees a great deal of Qh5 from its younger players, thanks to Parham. Occasionally a younger student will be caught off guard by the move 1. e4 nf6 2. Qh5? ... always good for a laugh. I recommend looking at the moves 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 Nc6 3. Bc4 g6 4. Qf3 f5!? if white has never seen this black will get an amazing position, but as far as being sound? - Falsemate 03:25, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

...Nf6? After the variation 1.e4 e5 2. Qh5 Nf6 3. Qxe5+ Be7 Parham will play 4. d3 ... He plans on dropping the Queen to g3 and putting the Bishop on e2 to prevent any kind of pin on the e4 pawn with the king. Black will remain a pawn down with difficulties catleing long, and whites pieces are all pointed at the Kingside. A common variations is 1.e4 e5 2. Qh5 Nf6 3. Qxe5+ Be7 4. d3 Nc6 5. Qg3 0-0 6. Be2 with the threat of Bh6 as Nh5 can no longer hold. (Falsemate 02:49, 21 October 2005 (UTC))

 * I'd be happy if he would log on to FICS sometime and play vs Shredder in this line. Shredder thinks 5...0-0 is a big mistake, because 5...d5 leaves black with a big advantage. ⟳ ausa کui × 03:25, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

2. Bd6!?
This move is something I've been looking at for a while. It's true, the Bishop is put on a weakish square, but it means that the Q can go to e7 without blocking it and that the N can go to f6 with tempo. For example: 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 Bd6!? 3. Bc4 Qe7 4. Nf3 Nf6 5. Qh4 Bc5 6. Qg3 d6 7. Qxg7? Rg8 8. Qh6 Bxf2+! 9. Kf1 Rg6 0-1 24.226.77.23 (talk) 13:04, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Until we have a source for Bd6 it would be a problem of no original research. I setup the board and looked at this it doesn't seem a very good idea. After Bd6 the bishop has to move again later at the cost of a tempo. In the line given Qg3 is an illogical waste of move having moved the queen to h4 on the previous move. 5. Qg5 would seem a more consistent move when 5...Nxe4 is met with Qxg7 with advantage to white. 5...O-O and White can play 6. d3, 6. O-O or 6. Nc3 when Black can't break in the center until the Bishop is moved from d6. SunCreator (talk) 18:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Um. 5. Qg5, Bxf2+. But really, why is any of this discussion here? No one cares what some random person has been "looking at for quite a while"; this is an encyclopedia, not an analysis page. -- 98.108.220.157 (talk) 04:25, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

 * The annoying thing is, no one in history has ever taken a serious look at this move. It can't be as bad as 2...Nf6 can it? 24.226.77.23 (talk) 13:04, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Similar ideas have caught on in other openings in recent years, e.g. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bb5 Bd6!?, which GM Larry Kaufman recommends in his excellent book The Chess Advantage in Black and White. Black will disentangle with ...0-0, ...Re8, ...Bf8, and ...d6; in some lines he leaves the bishop at d6 and plays ...b6 and ...Bb7. There is also 1.b3 e5 2.Bb2 Nc6 3.e3 Nf6 4.Bb5 Bd6!?, a fashionable move that according to IM Richard Palliser had as of 2006 scored 60% for Black. Beating Unusual Chess Openings, p. 136. It was introduced in Suhle-Adolf Anderssen, Breslau 1859. There is also a line against the Evans Gambit called the "Stoneware Defense" after the Boston players (first name?) Stone and Preston Ware. See T.D. Harding and G.S. Botterill, The Italian Game, p. 61. Some dude named Harry Nelson Pillsbury played it against both Emanuel Schiffers and Henry Bird at Hastings 1895, beating both with ease. See Horace Cheshire, The Hastings Tournament 1895, pp. 132-33, 229-30. A good thing, too, since Pillsbury only won the tournament by half a point (Pillsbury 16.5, Chigorin 16, Lasker 15.5, etc.). So just as we shouldn't be too dismissive of 2.Qh5, we shouldn't be too dismissive of 2...Bd6. But yes, until some notable player plays it or at least advocates it it would be OR, as SunCreator said. Krakatoa (talk) 08:43, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Players' ages are irrelevant and should be deleted
The article includes this: "Hikaru Nakamura, the 17-year-old GM and U.S. champion, played it as White against 28-year-old Indian GM Krishnan Sasikiran at the May 2005 Sigeman Tournament in Copenhagen/Malmö, Denmark." (Emphasis added.) Apparently an anon put in the ages, someone deleted them, and now the anon reverted the change, saying this should be taken to talk before being re-reverted. Fine. The players' ages are irrelevant and should be deleted. If I see that such-and-such player has played a move and want to know the significance of that, what is relevant is how strong the player is. That is taken care of here by the information that both these players are GMs, and that Nakamura is the U.S. champion. If I want to know more about either player, I can click on the wiki-link for him. What their respective ages are is not important. If we habitually inserted players' ages, articles would become much longer, to no benefit. "The 43-year-old xxxx successfully essayed such-and-such against the 25-year-old yyyy.", etc., etc. Who cares? The ages should be taken out. Krakatoa (talk) 16:42, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with Krakatoa; the players' ages are irrelevant here. If we had a WP:RS reliable source commenting on the significance of their ages in this context inclusion would be appropriate, otherwise it is WP:UNDO undo weight.  Presumably we're supposed to draw some inference based on their ages, but it is unstated and the point is unclear. Quale (talk) 04:29, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. In some situations it would be notable to mention Nakamura's age (i.e. being a minor), but not significant here.  And the other one is completely irrevelant.  Consensus - I'll delete them.  Bubba73 (talk), 05:22, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm the anon who originally put in Sasikiran's age. The reason I inserted it was that the article originally included Nakamura's age, but not Sasikiran's. There seemed to be no reason to include the age of one but not the other, but rather than remove Nakamura's age completely, which would be a better, but more difficult change to defend, I inserted Sasikiran's age in order to to at least make the article consistent for both players. What actually was deleted (and then reverted by myself, as Krakatoa mentions) was Sasikiran's but not Nakamura's age, rather than, as Krakatoa seems to have mistakenly assumed, both ages. Of course, the removal of both ages is the best possible outcome, as the ages of the players are irrelevent to the article. So I think Krakatoa may have misinterpereted my edit back in 2009, but the eventual result was the right one anyway. 203.24.97.9 (talk) 09:39, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

"Uncomfortable contortions"?
I believe this is original research (and wrong original research at that). Anonywiki (talk) 02:52, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * No source is given, not even for the supposed name "Kiddie Countergambit". Since the rest of the article is fairly reasonably sourced, I agree with you and think the entire section can be removed.  The same with "Mellon Gambit".  So-called "Named variations" should be sourced or removed.  Quale (talk) 05:09, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Good information gone
"Mellon Gambit" is from Schiller's "Gambit Chess Openings" tome. It's not a particularly good line for either player, but anyway the name is published there. The "Kiddie Countergambit" isn't covered in that work. That is the name commonly used for 2... Nf6, though. Do we have to find someone who uses it in a book before that information goes into an encyclopedia? First hand knowledge of common conventions isn't enough? The name is used in a lot of web pages, but not all web pages are reliable.

I don't see why the information that 2. Nf6 is Shredder's first choice was removed. Houdini likes the move too, though it likes other moves better. Engines are famously critical of gambits so when an engine rates a gambit highly that is important information about that gambit. Write the chess engine itself as the source if it's important for you to have the primary source written up right. What's there now, "speculative," suggests the gambit is not very good, when it's actual one of Black's best options in the position.

Nakamura's age when he liked 2. Qh5 does seem relevant as his endorsement can be attributed to his youth. I don't get the removal of a lot of good information from these pages.

Naming; Why is it called the "Parham Attack"?

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was moved by Chessplayerlev to Wayward Queen Attack. Eventually some sort of agreement was reached that Schiller's term for the opening is acceptable if not entirely ideal. Sjakkalle (Check!)  19:02, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Can anyone explain the source for it being called a "Parham Attack" aside from a single Internet link on ChessDrum, which is a really bad and factually inaccurate source? It does not appear by this name in any credible book, magazine article, or site. I have seen "Patzer Opening" and other names, but not "Parham Attack" anywhere else.ChessPlayerLev (talk) 22:23, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

 * It was named after Bernard Parham. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 23:04, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Right, and I'm wondering whether there is a single credible source for that? Does a single opening book or reputable publication call it the "Parham Attack"? ChessPlayerLev (talk) 00:56, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I thought I had seen it, but I couldn't find one. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 02:38, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I think ChessPlayerLev is probably right. Dealing with this may be difficult, as sources for most unusual openings like this one tend to be quite poor and the article has been at this title for some time.  I don't have a good suggestion, but the brilliance of the wiki is that someone else may have an idea that eludes me. Quale (talk) 04:33, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I would be fine with changing the title to "The Patzer Opening" (which I have found a few credible sources referring to 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 as), and having "The Parham Attack" as one of the alternate names. (Which I have found as many credible sources for as "The Danvers Attack"...zero)ChessPlayerLev (talk) 22:09, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I have not found a reference. I thought that Unorthodox chess openings by Eric Shiller was likely to have it.  I don't have the book, but the table of contents and the index is available at Amazon, and it isn't in there. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 22:38, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Bubba, I do have the book (Unorthodox Chess Openings, Schiller, 1998), and he has the opening on pp. 247-249 (under chapter "King Pawn Game", starting p. 230). It is named: "Wayward Queen Attack". (Schiller harshly disapproves the opening, and quotes games from 1994 Nat'l Elementary School Ch., and 1991 World Junior Ch.) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 9:58, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

 * From the article author, 2005: Ihardlythinkso (talk) 13:31, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks, I was only looking to the parts of the book available on Amazon. What the author of this article told Qualye is quite interesting - he says that me made up the name "Parham attack".  If so, then it must go! But then later he says that he found others using it on the internet.  I hope they didn't pick it up from this article.  The problem with finding it on the internet is that we have to be sure that it was before this article - otherwise they might have gotten the name from this article. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 15:14, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

 * The editor that started the article is now, who is a legitimate chess editor and a national master. He should be asked about the origins of the name.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 15:21, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Yes! (I see that now, a username change.) His statement to Quale does suggest the name Parham Attack was used on Internet preceding the article. This is interesting, too! Ihardlythinkso (talk) 15:47, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I have seen several references to a "Parham Attack" in Internet searches, but in every case, they are quoting Wikipedia and many even express skepticism over the nomenclature. It's a bit amusing/funny that a largely random decision to call 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 the "Parham Attack" back in 2005 on Wikipiedia has led to a number of blogs/articles on the subject blindly referring to it as the same!ChessPlayerLev (talk) 05:24, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

 * It's referred to as "Patzer Opening" by http://www.365chess.com/opening.php?m=4&n=332&ms=e4.e5.Qh5&ns=3.5.332, which is a fairly credible database and opening explorer, at the very least. ChessPlayerLev (talk) 23:01, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * 'Parham Attack' reference: Indianapolis Monthly, January 2007, page 74. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=RB0DAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA74&dq=parham%20attack&pg=PA74#v=onepage&q&f=false Regards, SunCreator (talk) 10:39, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Not the most credible source, I'm afraid. It's a glowing human interest story about Bernard Parham, but is absolutely awful when it comes to the actual facts.  Saying the "matrix system" of recording games was "revolutionary" is ridiculous and inaccurate, considering no one actually uses it, and it's basically the exact same as the algebraic system except with different symbols for the pieces.  (Read what myself and Bubba wrote on the AfD discussion for Bernard Parham)  Then, saying that Parham won the Indiana State Championship with his "revolutionary ideas" is laughable, considering the guy was barely even national master strength, and it's not exactly a major chess accomplishment, either.  They also claim Parham "beat future world champion Bobby Fischer 42 years ago in a match in New Olreans".  Even if one assumes they mistakenly used the word "match" instead of "game", I still think this is pure BS.  I have never, ever read about this anywhere.  Maybe he won a blitz game from Fischer, but then again, there were good "A" players who have done this (and it was actually documented), and other "A" players and experts (slightly weaker than my own strength) who have managed draws or wins against world champions, too.  The article was also written AFTER the Wikipedia entry, and seems to be largely based on Bernard Parham's own claims and words.  In other words, it's factually inaccurate and extremely biased.ChessPlayerLev (talk) 23:57, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

 * The win over Fischer might have been a simul (if true), but the game is not known at List of people who have beaten Bobby Fischer in chess. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 00:32, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Fenner Parham (S) (1964 Simul tour) is listed in the article sec Exhibition and offhand games. There's some discussion whether it was Fenner or Bernard who actually played the game at Kibitzer's Corner on chessgames.com. Ditto here. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 06:47, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * ChessPlayerLev, the Indianapolis Monthly source found by SunCreator satisfies your complaint that the name Parham Attack "does not appear by this name in any credible book, magazine article, or site." (The article is based on an interview with the subject. Whether the Matrix system is "revolutionary" or not for being based on geometric patterns, or for being popular or accepted, is just semantics. If the interviewee wants to credit his win of the Indiana State Championship to a magazine interviewer due to "using his lucky pen" to record his games, that claim in the magazine article of course doesn't make it true, it reflects the interview with the subject. When you criticize his winning the Indiana State Championship on the basis his rating wasn't very much over national master, or because winning it was "not a major accomplishment", those arguments belong over at the AfD on the Bernard Parham BLP article, not here. Ditto whether it was he or his uncle who beat Fischer in the 1964 simul game.) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 07:42, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

 * The point I was making was that the source is not credible. Hence why I noted how ridiculous its claims about the matrix system are, and the dubious "win" over Fischer (a simul victory?  That's even more worthless than a casual blitz game) If Parham himself told the interviewer the opening was called "The Parham Attack" or if the journalist simply copied it off the Wikipedia article (recall that the article was written in January 2007, and the Wikipedia entry was made in 2005), who cares?  It's not an indication of anything.

 * I question the logic here. The point about a simul win against Fischer being "worthless" in your view, is for what purpose? To discredit the Indianapolis Monthly magazine source? Thereby discrediting the reference to name "Parham Attack"? If that is your logic, then it's based on your opinion that a simul win against Fischer is a "worthless" achievement. I doubt you'd find many serious players supporting that position, I certainly don't. And as Bubba pointed out, there is probably sufficient reason to reject the source for the purpose of opening name confirmation, that has nothing to do with whether a simul win is a worthy achievement or not, so I don't see the point to go into emotional non-arguments in any event. Please explain your logic. (And please try and tone down the rhetoric -- too many "That's ridiculous", "That's laughable", etc. from you. Those are non-arguments and don't usefully contribute.) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 04:00, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Lev, a simul victory isn't excluded from being called a win of a game against a player. That is why simul and even off-hand games are listed in article List of people who have beaten Bobby Fischer in chess. Do you have a supposition that the use of word "win" in the Monthly article was somehow bent on misleading? Or what? I really don't know what your line of thinking is. (Please explain why you put the word in quotes. The win is a documented fact. Someone recorded as Fenner Parham beat Fischer in that simul. It's a fact.) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 04:15, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Look, there are a lot of REALLY garbage articles about chess in larger newspapers as general interest stories. I remember my local newspaper referring to a local chess teacher who was a "C" player (rated 1500) incorrectly stating that he was an "A" player (rated 1800-1999), and that this "was just slightly weaker than a GM".  That's why it's really important to make sure the sources are legitimate and written by people who know what they're writing about.  Anyways, I left a message on 's page, so hopefully he can shed some more light on this.  ChessPlayerLev (talk) 01:54, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * We can't use any source like that written after this article went up on Wikipedia for the name, since it may have gotten it from Wikipedia. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 02:00, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I accept Bubba's logic. But not yours, Lev. (You are asserting the Monthly magazine source is "not legitimate" and "not written by someone who knows what they're writing about", but, you have no facts to make that assertion, at least, you've presented no factual refutation here, only "That's laughable", etc., non-arguments.) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 04:23, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I need a "factual refutation" of the statement that matrix notation is "revolutionary"?! I can't disprove something that doesn't exist! Same goes for Parham's alleged victory over Fischer.  Also, no one uses matrix notation and it's the exact same as algebraic notation.  Those are actual facts.  The whole article is bunk for anyone who knows anything about chess.  It's a human interest piece by a random reporter.  Ergo, not a credible source for deciding questions of chess history and nomenclature.  ChessPlayerLev (talk) 04:33, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * No, am not asking you to prove the unprovable. Am asking that if you make argument, make one that consists of other than your shrill opinions about how "ridiculous" or "laughable" or how much "bunk" you think something is. Your hyperbole is tiresome. To tell honestly, I suspect too, that the interview piece was a fluff piece. The difference is that you insist that it is, and further insist we all agree with you, when in fact all you have to go on, like me, is suspicion. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 05:11, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Except I have already provided abundant reasons for why I believe this, and which you continue to ignore in favor of personal attacks. Matrix notation is not used by anyone.  It's not "revolutionary".  In fact, it's almost identical to algebraic notation.  Parham never beat Fischer in a "match".  In fact, he probably didn't even beat him in a single game, even a casual one.  Thus, the article is not a reliable source when it comes to settling a serious matter of chess history/nomenclature.  End of story.  Again, I can't disprove something that doesn't exist.  That's impossible.

 * One more thing, Ihardlythinkso. I am becoming very tired of your constant personal attacks and insults every single time I write anything in a Chess Talk page or try to update a page that you're watching.  I have ignored it for a while, but I suggest you knock it off.  Keep your replies to the chess subject at hand.ChessPlayerLev (talk) 08:02, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * What you've provided, is just shrill opinion, and rhetoric. At Paul Morphy you insisted the Silman quote was clear and unambiguous, kept repeating that, and were dumbfounded why I disagreed. You said "no matter how many times you say [the quote is ambiguous]" wouldn't "change the fact" it was clear and obvious. And what happened to your shrill opinion then? You had more shrill opinion at Paris Defence, insisting at AfD it "wasn't an opening at all". You were disproven again. Do you learn anything from these experiences, Lev? Because you continue to exhibit the same shrill, opinion-centered, aggressive style here. So if you are "becoming very tired" of my opposes of the product of your shrill, opinion-centered, aggressive, and reckless debating style, then good. I look only at your arguments, Lev, and if I see only reckless, aggressive opinion, I oppose. (So get used to it, or do better.) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 14:13, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I agree the Monthly article is no basis for naming the opening "Parham Attack". (It's an interview piece, not a research article.) But there's no doubt Parham has been advocate and practitioner; the article at least would support his mention. Krakatoa has already made himself clear in the Talk archive above, I don't know that he'd have any more to add. Schiller's book uses "Wayward Queen Attack". 365chess uses "Patzer Opening". Are those the only WP-supportable choices, because they have RSs? (This editor is comfortable with any name, including the current one.) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 14:59, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Rare openings tend to get a lot of names attached to them, see 1.Nc3 for an extreme example of this. Chess opening names are not official, even 1.e4 c5 isn't "officially" called the "Sicilian Defense", if there is anything official (in the sense of being used in FIDE publications) it is "B20". I see that "Parham Attack" is used on several discussion boards and so on, so I don't think the name is entirely made up, but life would be easier if a term for the opening were in a reliable publication. I think there are reasonable arguments on both sides here. However, I am concerned if "Patzer Opening" is a neutral enough title, since "patzer" is slang for a weak player. There is at least one grandmaster, Hikaru Nakamura who has considered the move to be a reasonable try and who would probably disagree that 2.Qh5 is a move for patzers. Sjakkalle (Check!)  15:46, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Totally agree. Although no one (short of Parham) contends 2.Qh5 is major contribution to theory, Nakamura said "I have analyzed this line thoroughly", and, "I do believe that 2.Qh5 is a playable move". He is ranked 7th (or is it 5th now?) in the world, so maybe his opinion is a little better than what User:ChessPlayerLev tells us is so on the ProjChess page: "2. Qh5?! is a silly move". Ihardlythinkso (talk) 17:58, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * If Schiller refers to it as the "Wayward Queen Attack" in an actual book of his, then that is by far the most reputable source we have come across. I would be fine with changing the article's main name to "Wayward Queen Attack" and then listing "Parham Attack" as a subsidiary, alternate name.  And sure, 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5?! is playable.  (Hence my dubious sign and not an actual question mark)  However, it cedes the advantage of the first move and even gives Black a tiny edge under ideal play from both sides.  (Indeed, GM Nakamura LOST with this opening against an opponent rated roughly the same as him at the time, GM Sasikiran.ChessPlayerLev (talk) 23:20, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Lev, you asserted the move was "a silly move". (Do you think Nakamura would agree with that? Also, pointing out that Nakamura lost vs Sasikiran cannot be a dig against the opening, as you imply; Nakamura blamed his middlegame mistake for his loss, not the opening choice. [Did you read the article & the interview?])

 * Am okay with "Wayward Queen Attack". (But just an aside, did you see the references to bad reviews for that book? [I'm even wondering if I should use that book as RS for adding other opening name synonyms to "Chess openings named after xxx" articles, etc., as a result. But I do see some detailed research in the book, so think it deserves better than the blunt summary eval from Myers.]) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 23:44, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I don't know whether Nakamura would agree or disagree, but top players experiment with inferior openings all the time, either as a surprise weapon or simply to unbalance the position. I also didn't blame Naka's loss solely on the opening (hardly any openings, even the worst ones, lead to a theoretical loss), but it certainly made things harder on him than say, his usual Ruy Lopez.  The guy loses exceptionally rarely with the White pieces, even against the world's very best, and the opening played a part in the defeat.  Anyways, this isn't about the quality of 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5?!, but rather, its naming.

 * While I am aware of the criticisms against Schiller's books and feel some of it is warranted, he is still the most reliable source we have, by far. A master-strength player during his prime, a notable chess author and teacher, an international tournament arbiter, etc.  That's certainly more reliable than a Geocities site riddled with factual errors.

 * Ok. (I'll start using the Schiller book, then. There are a lot of names in the book, and if it is okay RS, would like to start adding them.) p.s. Am confident Nakamura would disagree on "silly" describing 2.Qh5. (The point is, that changed my mind, per Sjakkalle, why I think all names are not equally appropriate, e.g. "Patzer Opening", ala 365chess.com, for future new article title.)

 * Regarding the bad reviews of Unorthodox Chess Openings, I will also refer to Baburin's review which is not favorable, but does mention some redeeming qualities as well. I think that review is more helpful than Tony Miles' review. "Wayward Queen Attack" is fine with me. Sjakkalle (Check!)  05:01, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

MCO 16
If MCO 16th edition, I guess it is to be released sometime after December, contains entry "Parham Attack", um, it seems that would trump the Schiller source.

Re-opening the debate about the name
The name "Danvers Opening" can be sourced from the American Chess Bulletin as reported by Edward Winter. This strikes me as a far more credible source than anything by Schiller or Cardoza Publishing. MaxBrowne (talk) 05:23, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Alternative Names
As content creator, I object to the move of the article ‘Bernard Parham’ to draftspace. Unfortunately, I have been unable to figure how to move this article back to mainspace. Perhaps someone can help me.

Nevertheless, I have performed exact Google searches for the following phrases. Hits are in parentheses: 1) Parham Attack/Parham opening (3,710) 2) Wayward Queen Attack/Opening (3,638) 3) Danvers Attack/Opening (2,976) 4) Patzer Opening (1,382)

Calling this chess opening the 'Danvers Opening' is sub-optimal, especially in view of the fact that the overwhelming majority of living chess players refer to this opening as the ‘Parham Attack’. I find it curious that the contribution of National Master, Bernard Parham, who is Black, have been minimized. The other terms are archaic, pretentious, quirky and bizarre and appear primarily in the literature prior to the year 1900.

I am afraid Crisco 1492, et al. have missed the point regarding Bernard Parham’s notability. Nobody claimed that the sequence of moves 1.e4 e5 2.Qh5 had never been played before. Given enough time, a monkey typing at a keyboard, would reproduce the complete works of Shakespeare. The point is that Bernard Parham took an obscure, discredited opening and played it during his entire chess career against Master level opposition, with success. The Parham Attack has now been played at Grandmaster level, by Hikaru Nakamura, and has been discussed in the Guardian (formerly Manchester Guardian) newspaper as a potentially requiring a 'grand rethink" of chess.

Parham’s maximum USCF rating was over 2300, which is International Master level, and he did this by playing the Parham Attack exclusively as White. Parham was also awarded the National Master title in 2002 by USCF. By the way, nobody in the world calls this opening the Danvers Opening. It is referred to, in over two hundred counties, as the Parham Attack. As content creator, it is my considered judgment that this entry is well referenced, and marking it as draft is also a mistake. This article should be restored as a wikipedia entry in its original format. Moreover, the Wikipedia entry ‘Danvers Opening’ should be renamed/redirected to the new entry ‘Parham Attack’.

Raising of the son of the widow of Nain

The raising of the son of the widow of Nain (or Naim) is an account of a miracle by Jesus, recorded in the Gospel of Luke chapter 7. Jesus arrived at the village of Nain during the burial ceremony of the son of a widow, and raised the young man from the dead.

The location is the village of Nain, two miles south of Mount Tabor. This is the first of three miracles of Jesus in the canonical gospels in which he raises the dead, the other two being the raising of Jairus' daughter and of Lazarus.

Biblical account
The miracle is described thus in Luke 7:

"11 Soon afterwards Jesus went to a town named Nain, accompanied by His disciples and a large crowd. 12 And when He arrived at the gate of the town, a funeral procession was coming out. A young man had died, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 And when the Lord saw her, His heart was filled with pity for her, and He said to her, "Do not weep". 14 Then He walked over and touched the coffin, while the pallbearers stood still.  Jesus said to the dead man, "Young man, I say to thee, arise!" And he who was dead, sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16 Then they all were filled with awe and praised God. And they said, "A great prophet has risen among us", and "God has visited His people".

17 This news about Jesus went out through all the country and the surrounding territory."

- Good News Bible Translation

Interpretation
The raising of the son of the widow of Zarephath, by the Old Testament prophet Elijah (1 Kings 17), is seen by Fred Craddock as the model for this miracle, as there are several parallels in the details, especially some verbal parallels. The raising of the son of the woman of Shunem (2 Kings 4) by Elisha is also similar, including the reaction of the people. In particular, the location of Nain is very close to Shunem, identified with modern Sulam. Sinclair Ferguson calls attention to this as an example of a repeated pattern in the history of redemption. He concludes that the pattern repetition "'comes to its fullness in the person of Jesus Christ, the great prophet who heals not merely through delegated authority from God, but on his own authority, without rituals or prayers, but with a simple word of power. Here is the great God and Saviour of Israel in the flesh'..."

The woman in the story had lost both her husband and her only son, so that there was no one left to support her. As she could not have inherited the land, the loss of her only son would have left her dependent on the charity of more distant relatives and neighbours.

Both this account and the preceding one of the healing of the Centurion's servant serve as a precursor to Jesus' assurance to the imprisoned John the Baptist that He is truly, 'the one who is to come', since, 'the dead are raised.'.

ADDIE Model

ADDIE is an instructional systems design (ISD) framework that many instructional designers and training developers use to develop courses. The name is an acronym for the five phases it defines for building training and performance support tools: Most current ISD models are variations of the ADDIE process. Other models include the Dick and Carey and Kemp ISD models. Rapid prototyping is another common alternative.
 * Analysis
 * Design
 * Development
 * Implementation
 * Evaluation

Instructional theories are important in instructional materials design. These include behaviorism, constructivism, social learning, and cognitivism.

History
Florida State University initially developed the ADDIE framework in 1975 to explain, “...the processes involved in the formulation of an instructional systems development (ISD) program for military interservice training that will adequately train individuals to do a particular job and which can also be applied to any interservice curriculum development activity.” The model originally contained several steps under its five original phases (analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate). The idea was to complete each phase before moving to the next. Subsequent practitioners revised the steps, and eventually the model became more dynamic and interactive than the original hierarchical version. By the mid-1980s, the version familiar today appeared.

The origin of the label itself is obscure, but the underlying ISD concepts come from a model developed for the U.S. armed forces in the mid 1970s. As Branson (1978) recounts, the Center for Educational Technology at Florida State University worked with a branch of the U.S. Army to develop a model, which evolved into the Interservice Procedures for Instructional Systems Development (IPISD), intended for the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. Branson provides a graphic overview of the IPISD, which shows five top-level headings: analyze, design, develop, implement, and control. Virtually all subsequent historical reviews of ID reference this model but, notably, users do not refer to it by the ADDIC acronym. The authors and users refer only to IPISD. Hence, it is clearly not the source of the ADDIE acronym.

Analysis phase
The analysis phase clarifies the instructional problems and objectives, and identifies the learning environment and learner's existing knowledge and skills. Questions the analysis phase addresses include:
 * Who are the learners and what are their characteristics?
 * What is the desired new behavior?
 * What types of learning constraints exist?
 * What are the delivery options?
 * What are the pedagogical considerations?
 * What adult learning theory considerations apply?
 * What is the timeline for project completion?

The process of asking these questions is often part of a needs analysis. During the needs analysis instructional designers (IDs) will determine constraints and resources in order to fine tune their plan of action.

Design phase
The design phase deals with learning objectives, assessment instruments, exercises, content, subject matter analysis, lesson planning, and media selection. The design phase should be systematic and specific. Systematic means a logical, orderly method that identifies, develops, and evaluates a set of planned strategies for attaining project goals. Specific means the team must execute each element of the instructional design plan with attention to detail. The design phase may involve writing a design document/design proposal or concept and structure note to aid final development.

Development phase
In the development phase, instructional designers and developers create and assemble content assets described in the design phase. If e-learning is involved, programmers develop or integrate technologies. Designers create storyboards. Testers debug materials and procedures. The team reviews and revises the project according to feedback. After completing the development of the course material, the designers should conduct an imperative pilot test; this can be carried out by involving key stakeholders and rehearsing the course material.

Implementation phase
The implementation phase develops procedures for training facilitators and learners. Training facilitators cover the course curriculum, learning outcomes, method of delivery, and testing procedures. Preparation for learners includes training them on new tools (software or hardware) and student registration. Implementation includes evaluation of the design.

Evaluation phase
The evaluation phase consists of two aspects: formative and summative. Formative evaluation is present in each stage of the ADDIE process, while summative evaluation is conducted on finished instructional programs or products. Donald Kirkpatrick's Four Levels of Learning Evaluation are often utilized during this phase of the ADDIE process.

Other versions
Some institutions have modified the ADDIE model to meet specific needs. For example, the United States Navy created a version they call PADDIE+M. The P phase is the planning phase, which develops project goals, project objectives, budget, and schedules. The M phase is the maintenance phase, which implements life cycle maintenance with continuous improvement methods. This model is gaining acceptance in the United States government as a more complete model of ADDIE. Some organizations have adopted the PADDIE model without the M phase. Pavlis Korres (2010), in her instructional model (ESG Framework), has proposed an expanded version of ADDIE, named ADDIE+M, where Μ=Maintenance of the Learning Community Network after the end of a course. The Maintenance of the Learning Community Network is a modern educational process that supports the continuous educational development of its members with social media and web tools.

Sara Renner

Sara Renner (born April 10, 1976) is a Canadian cross-country skier who competed from 1994 to 2010. With Beckie Scott, she won the silver medal in the team sprint event at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin and earned her best individual finish of eight in the 10 km classical event in those same games. She was born in Golden, British Columbia.

2006 Winter Olympics
Norwegian coach Bjørnar Håkensmoen gave Sara Renner a ski pole after hers was broken when a competitor stepped on it during the cross-country team sprint at the 2006 Winter Olympics. Norway's athlete ended up fourth, implying that this selfless act of sportsmanship may well have cost the Norwegian team a medal. Renner gave Håkensmoen a bottle of wine as a thank you, while other Canadians responded with phone calls and letters to the Norwegian Embassy and sent 7,400 cans of maple syrup to Håkensmoen. The incident was immortalized in a 2010 Winter Olympics television commercial.

Retirement
She announced her retirement in Vancouver following her finish in the Women's 30 km, Mass Start event. She said: "I just left everything out there today," Renner said after carrying her three-year-old daughter, Aria, in her arms through a series of TV interviews. "It was a beautiful race in the pouring rain — quite the way to go out. To hear everyone cheering for me, it was absolutely inspiring."

Cross-country skiing results
All results are sourced from the International Ski Federation (FIS).

Olympic Games

 * 1 medal – (1 silver)

World Championships

 * 1 medal – (1 bronze)

 * a. Cancelled due to extremely cold weather.

Individual podiums

 * 4 podiums – (4 WC)

Team podiums

 * 2 podiums – (1 RL, 1 TS)

Personal life
Renner grew up at remote Mount Assiniboine Lodge, the oldest backcountry ski lodge in the Canadian Rockies, located southwest of Banff and Canmore, Alberta, just across the British Columbia provincial border. Her parents ran the high-altitude lodge for three decades, and she credits her youth there for her skiing success.

In 2001 Renner posed nude in a calendar called "Nordic Nudes" to help raise money for the Canadian women's Nordic ski team. Teammates Beckie Scott, Milaine Thériault, Jaime Fortier and sister Amanda Fortier also posed nude for the calendar.

Renner is married to retired Italian-Canadian alpine skier Thomas Grandi. Grandi had family support out for himself and his wife during the Turin Olympics.

On September 18, 2006, Renner announced that she was taking the year off to have a baby with husband Thomas Grandi. Renner came back after her baby was born, and lead the women's team to Vancouver 2010.

On February 2, 2007, Renner gave birth to a girl named Aria at a hospital in Banff, Alberta. She and Grandi live in Canmore, Alberta.

J. D. Sumner

John Daniel Sumner (November 19, 1924 – November 16, 1998) was an American gospel singer, songwriter, and music promoter noted for his bass voice, and his innovation in the Christian and Gospel music fields. Sumner sang in five quartets and was a member of the Blackwood Brothers during their 1950s heyday. Aside from his incredibly low bass voice, Sumner's business acumen helped promote Southern Gospel and move it into the mainstream of American culture and music during the 1950s and 1960s.

Sunny South Quartet and Dixie Lily Harmoneers
J. D. Sumner first sang with The Sunny South Quartet from 1945 to 1949. The quartet was headquartered in Tampa, Florida, and was sponsored by the Dixie Lily Flour Company. In 1949, Sunny South manager Horace Floyd relocated the quartet to Orlando, but Sumner stayed behind in Tampa where he maintained the sponsorship and started a new group, the Dixie Lily Harmoneers, which he sang with for a few months.

Sunshine Boys
Later in 1949, J. D. Sumner left the Dixie Lily Harmoneers and moved up to Atlanta, Georgia, where he joined the Sunshine Boys. They split their time between Atlanta and Wheeling, West Virginia, with the occasional trip to Hollywood to sing in Western movies. The lineup of Fred Daniel on tenor, Ed Wallace on lead, Ace Richman on baritone, and J. D. on bass continued on for five years until June 30, 1954.

Blackwood Brothers Quartet
On June 30, 1954, tragedy struck the Blackwood Brothers Quartet when a disastrous test run in their private plane cost the lives of baritone R. W. Blackwood and bass singer Bill Lyles.

J. D. Sumner was immediately hired by the Blackwood Brothers to sing with them to replace Lyles. Cecil Blackwood joined at the same time to replace his brother R. W. on baritone. J. D. sang with the Blackwood Brothers Quartet from 1954 until 1965. While he was with the Blackwoods, Sumner brought the idea of traveling cross country in a tour bus rather than flying, and was the first professional musical group to do so in any genre. He also established the National Quartet Convention along with James Blackwood to showcase the various quartets in the industry and the convention became an annual festival and mainstay in the industry that continues to this day. It was also during this time he met Elvis Presley. Presley lived in Memphis, Tennessee, as a young boy and would attend the all night sings at The Ellis Auditorium. Presley was an avid fan of Southern Gospel music and groups such as The Blackwood Brothers and The Statesmen Quartet. Sumner recalled that Presley had missed a concert one month, and Sumner inquired why he did not attend. Presley replied he had no money to get into the show, and Sumner said "Son you come find me when you want to get in, money or not." Sumner then told his group mates to let Presley in the back stage door so he could attend. Years later, Presley would try out for The Songfellows Quartet, a group associated with The Blackwood Brothers, though did not receive an invitation to join. Shortly thereafter, Presley recorded a demo at Sun Records in Memphis which launched his legendary rock and roll career.

The Stamps Quartet
In 1962, J. D. Sumner became the manager of the Stamps Quartet, and three years later, he left the Blackwood Brothers to sing with them. Sumner was most noted as the leader of the Stamps Quartet, which became known as J. D. Sumner & The Stamps. As a teenager, Elvis Presley idolized Sumner's singing after seeing him perform with the Sunshine Boys. Presley hired Sumner & The Stamps as his back-up singers in 1971. The group toured and recorded with Presley from November 1971 until Presley's death in 1977. Sumner not only sang at Elvis' funeral but had previously sung at the funeral of Elvis' mother Gladys in 1958. J. D. and The Stamps opened for Jerry Lee Lewis in 1980 in the United Kingdom, the Stamps only overseas performance.

Masters V
After the Stamps Quartet disbanded in 1980, Sumner with Hovie Lister, Jake Hess, Rosie Rozell, and James Blackwood formed the Masters V as a special consolidation of members of the Blackwood Brothers Quartet and Statesmen Quartet. The group was a showcase for Sumner's voice and compositions and won the 1981 Grammy Award for best traditional gospel performance. Sumner was credited not only for his singing, songwriting, and concert promotions, but was also noted for being the first to customize a coach bus for the entertainment business to use for music groups.

Later career with Stamps
After the Masters V disbanded in 1988, Sumner reformed the Stamps Quartet and performed with the group until his death in 1998. He was often seen in his latter years appearing as a guest artist on the Bill Gaither Homecoming videos. After Sumner's death, lead singer Ed Enoch, a member of the Stamps since 1969, took over the group and renamed it "Ed Enoch and the Golden Covenant."

Relationship with Elvis Presley
Sumner met a young Elvis Presley when he was singing with the Blackwood Brothers. Presley was 19 and had shown up at a concert but did not have the money to get in; Sumner found out about it and told Presley anytime he wanted to come in to find him and he would admit him at any place they were singing. The two formed a strong relationship.

In a 1990 interview with Geraldo Rivera, Sumner contradicted many myths regarding Presley's substance abuse, namely that Presley was a heavy drinker and used illicit substances. "I knew Elvis from the time he was 14, and all I ever saw him drink was one glass of peach brandy. He (Presley) would fire you for using marijuana, he detested cocaine, and barely approved of me drinking." Sumner also stated that Elvis "had no idea that he was killing himself with his medications, he felt as long as he was doing what the Doctor was OK with, he was staying within the bounds." Presley's death hit Sumner hard and The Stamps sang at Presley's funeral and Sumner credits Presley with saving his own life by intervening with his own alcohol use. "He (Elvis) helped saved my marriage, my health, my career, and ultimately, my life."

Range and awards
For 18 years, Sumner held the Guinness World Record for recording the lowest bass note. As of 2011, he has been surpassed only by the following three vocalists: Dan Britton (1984), Tim Storms (2002 and once more in 2012), and Roger Menees (2011). Sumner was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1984 and the Southern Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame in 1997.

Death
J.D. Sumner died while on tour with The Stamps Quartet, three days before his 74th birthday, on November 16, 1998. He was found dead of a heart attack in his hotel room in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Other activities
In 1964, Sumner founded the Gospel Music Association with James Blackwood. He was also the founding force behind the National Quartet Convention.

Sumner wrote more than 700 songs including the following:

Paul Schmitthenner

Paul Schmitthenner (born Lauterburg, Elsass-Lothringen, Germany 15 December 1884 – 11 November 1972) was a German architect, city planner and Professor at the University of Stuttgart.

During Nazi Germany, Schmitthenner was one of Adolf Hitler's architects.

Early life and education
He studied at the Technische Hochschulen of Karlsruhe and Munich and later became a Professor at the University of Stuttgart, where he formed together with Paul Bonatz the architectural style of the Stuttgart School.

Architecture
His belief that the traditional methods and styles in architecture revealed best the German character led to his appointment as expert group leader for fine arts in the Kampfbund. He believed that Schönheit ruht in Ordnung (German: "Beauty lies in (geometric) order"). Schmitthenner was in open opposition to modern architects like Walter Gropius. For him, Goethe's cottage at Weimar was still the ideal type of the German residential building. However, despite official approval, his enthusiasm did not bring many large commissions.

He had to leave his chair at the University after the war without a pension and worked as an architect till the end of his life. In Stuttgart, he built the "Königin-Olga-Bau" for the Dresdner Bank in 1950.

Works
''Baugestaltung. Das Deutsche Wohnhaus'', 1932.

Tunisia Monitoring Group

The Tunisia Monitoring Group (IFEX-TMG) is a coalition of 21 free-expression organisations that belong to the International Freedom of Expression Exchange (IFEX), a global network of non-governmental organisations that promotes and defends the right to freedom of expression and freedom of the press.

The IFEX-TMG monitors free expression violations in Tunisia and works to raise international awareness of censorship in the country. In the lead-up to, and during, the November 2005 World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), the IFEX-TMG called attention to Tunisia's failure to respect international human rights standards as the summit's host.

In the years running up to and during the Arab Spring, and the immediate months after, the chairman spokesman and chief fundraiser of the IFEX-TMG was Rohan Jayasekera, then Associate Editor of Index on Censorship. He was succeeded in 2012 by Virginie Jouan of the World Association of Newspapers who remained in post until IFEX wound up the group in late 2012.

April 2011 IFEX-TMG mission to Tunisia
A mission carried out in April 2011 post-revolution took place in an entirely different context. In stark contrast to previous missions, the delegation of seven IFEX-TMG member groups was able to meet and talk openly with civil society groups, human rights activists, journalists, bloggers and representatives from across the political spectrum. The work of the IFEX-TMG in consistently raising freedom of expression issues both inside Tunisia and on the international stage during the country's darkest years was widely praised, while opinions on how the transition process is unfolding were freely given. A full report is being issued on 1 June 2011.

April/May 2010
"Tunisia needs a truly independent judiciary to reverse its worsening record on human rights and treatment of prisoners of opinion." This is a key conclusion of the latest IFEX-TMG mission to Tunisia in April/May 2010.

It draws from research and interviews during the IFEX-TMG's seventh mission to Tunisia, conducted between 25 April and 6 May 2010. The IFEX-TMG found that there had been a significant deterioration of human rights in Tunisia since the last IFEX-TMG mission in 2007.

The report records a number of recurring cases of harassment, surveillance, and imprisonment of journalists and human rights activists some of whom have been detained in harsh conditions, physically harassed and dismissed from their jobs. Others have been denied their rights to communicate and move freely. The report culminates with 18 specific recommendations for change.

A pot-pourri of administrative sanctions used to limit free expression and exert indirect pressure on journalists and human rights defenders are also addressed. These include denying licences to independent and opposition media, the harassment of critical journalists and human rights defenders and the confiscation of publications.

Another chapter analyses the tactics the Tunisian authorities have employed in an effort to prevent the emergence of an independent judiciary, in spite of its national and international obligations.

January 2005
From 14 to 19 January 2005, six members of the IFEX-TMG conducted a fact-finding mission to Tunisia, where they met with writers, publishers, editors, journalists, human rights defenders and academics, as well as government officials and government-sponsored organisations.

The resulting report, Tunisia: Freedom of Expression Under Siege, documented extensive censorship in the country, including:
 * Imprisonment of individuals related to expression of their opinions or media activities.
 * Blocking of websites, including news and information websites, and police surveillance of e-mails and Internet cafés.
 * Blocking of the distribution of books and publications.
 * Restrictions on the freedom of association, including the right of organizations to be legally established and to hold meetings.
 * Restrictions on the freedom of movement of human rights defenders and political dissidents, police surveillance, harassment, intimidation and interception of communications.
 * Lack of pluralism in broadcast ownership, with only one private radio and one private TV broadcaster, both believed to be loyal supporters of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
 * Press censorship and lack of diversity of content in newspapers.
 * Use of torture by the security services with impunity.

September 2005
In September 2005, members of the IFEX-TMG returned to Tunisia to assess whether free expression conditions had improved since the first report. It found systematic censorship of newspapers and books; blocking of Internet sites; systematic surveillance of e-mails and telephones; denial of the right to legal accreditation of independent civil society associations; and threats against freedom of assembly.

April 2006
Free expression violations in Tunisia continue to run rampant, six months after the government attracted controversy for muzzling civil society activists during the World Summit on the Information Society last November, according to a new report by the IFEX Tunisia Monitoring Group, which undertook a mission in April 2006.

April 2007
Following a mission to Tunisia in February and March 2007, the IFEX-TMG launched its fourth report – Freedom of Expression in Tunisia: The Siege Holds – in Cairo, Washington, Paris and Geneva. The report, available in English, French and Arabic, states: "a lack of positive change has led us to conclude that the Tunisian government has sought to further stifle dissidents since the previous TMG report of May 2006."

Recommendations for the Tunisian government
The IFEX Tunisia Monitoring Group believes that Tunisia must abide by its international obligations as a signatory to UN human rights treaties, such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, as the host of the World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis in November 2005.

The following 18 recommendations are based on the statements made by the wide variety of civil society representatives which the IFEX-TMG mission members met in April/May 2010 and the IFEX-TMG's thorough assessment of the situation in Tunisia.

The IFEX-TMG strongly urges the Tunisian government to:
 * Drop all charges against journalist Fahem Boukadous, sentenced in January 2010 to four years in prison for allegedly taking part in social protests which he was merely covering, and whose appeal hearing is due to be heard on 22 June 2010.
 * Release all prisoners of opinion detained for their publicly expressed political, religious or other beliefs and who have not used violence or advocated violence or hatred.
 * End the persecution of former political prisoners and their families and lift restrictions on their right to earn a living and other basic rights.
 * End the practice of prosecution and imprisonment of journalists, lawyers, activists and others who voice dissent on common law offences or under counter-terrorism legislation; cease other forms of harassment including monitoring of phones and emails and blocking access to the Internet.
 * Repeal all provisions in the Penal Code, Press Code and other relevant laws which criminalise the peaceful exercise of the rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly; this should include the decriminalisation of defamation.
 * Review the 2003 anti-terrorism legislation in line with the January 2010 recommendations of the UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism.
 * Ensure that prison conditions and the treatment of prisoners comply with the standards specified by international law such as the United Nations Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners and the Convention Against Torture, to which Tunisia is party, and that any allegations of ill treatment or torture are properly investigated and those responsible for the abuses are brought to justice. Tunisian and international independent human rights organisations should be permitted to visit prisons, and to make their findings public.
 * Grant legal registration to Tunisian non-governmental organisations that work with current and former political prisoners and other human rights NGOs and to allow them to carry out their legitimate work unimpeded.
 * Stop blocking blogs, websites and Facebook groups which contain alternative news and opinions, or are operated by human rights groups and political parties.
 * Ensure that public advertising and state subsidies managed by the Agency for External Communication are fairly distributed among media outlets, regardless of their editorial stance.
 * Refrain from influencing decisions on naming editors-in-chief of newspapers and from applying pressure on employers, including media outlets, to fire, not to hire in the first place, or to harass, critical journalists and activists.
 * Allow all journalists and activists – regardless of their views – access to information, including press conferences held by opposition politicians and visiting foreign dignitaries.
 * Cease using oblique tactics to strangle critical newspapers, banning issues, and pressuring kiosk owners not to sell, and citizens not to buy such newspapers and lift all impediments to starting up truly independent newspapers, broadcasters and associations.
 * Deliver receipts for applications submitted for radio licenses.
 * Cease harassing critical journalists and activists when they travel abroad or return; refrain from unnecessary searches, as well as the confiscation of books passports and IDs, to effectively prevent travel abroad.
 * Refrain from undue interference in the election of the Superior Council of Magistrates and put in place an effective, transparent and fair election model of the majority of the magistrates by the magistrates themselves.
 * Grant the council the means and guarantees to effectively manage the judges’ career (recruitment, promotion, relocation and discipline) and in particular modify law 67-29 of 14 July 1967 to include a rule that forbids the relocation of magistrates without their consent and due consideration of their familial situation.

The IFEX-TMG recommends media practitioners, state-owned media outlets, as well as private outlets that are close to the government to:
 * Ensure that any criticism – especially of other, independent journalists and advocates – falls within the parameters of a voluntary editorial code of ethics and does not cross the line to deliberate defamation.

Talk:Lupus (constellation)

Hacked
The page for lupus only says "It's definetly not him." I'm not sure how to revert the page, can someone else do it? I checked 1/20/07.

I don't know how to add one, but there should be a disambiguation page for "lupus." I was searching for an article about the autoimmune disease and was routed to this article about the constellation lupus.
 * I've added a link to the existing Lupus (disambiguation) page in the header of this article. Maybe renaming this page to Lupus (constellation) and making Lupus redirect to the disambiguation page would be even better? -- Bovineone 07:11, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, the above has been done. -- Bovineone 09:03, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Lupus Anti-coagulant
Blood disorder that causes blood to clot. Is 95% more common in women than men. Is most often genetic but not always. Can be controled with the use of blood thinners.

It took me forever to find the autoimmune disease because I kept spelling it lupis instead of lupus. There is a separate disambiguation page for each spelling. Can we merge the two, especially since there is common content between them? I don't know how to initiate merge talks. Agentmoose 05:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

 * That's Lupus erythematosus too. I'll make a link for you. Said: Rursus 18:53, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Couldn't – there already was. Said: Rursus 18:53, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Books

 * "The Lupus Book: A Guide for Patients and Their Families" by Daniel J. Wallace
 * "Lupus Underground" by Anthony DeBartolo

An anon IP added these books to the page - it's a disambiguation page, they should not be on this page, they should be on whatever disease they talk about. WLU 22:11, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

History
A day, a farmer invited Zeus to eat with him. Zeus accepted. He ate with the farmer. The next morning, Zeus came to the farmer's house and said : - I will realize three wishes for you. - I want to be rich, I want to be a wolf, and I want nothing more. - You're rich, and you are a wolf. I realize your wishes. A lot of money appeared and the farmer became a wolf. He went to the village, and said : - Hello everybody! The people ran away and hided. - No, I'm not a monster, I'm a wolf, and I'm the farmer. A voice cried : - You ate the farmer. Go in hell. - No, I'm the farmer, I can't eat me. - Go in hell. The wolf went to his house and said : - I want to die. Zeus appeared and said : - You realize your last wish, you will die. - No, no ,no! The wolf exploded and went in the sky, with Zeus. Now, we can see a wolf in the sky, and it's Lupus.

Lupus 3 - star formation region
Here is an image which currently is only used on the page Star formation. Are the bright stars in the image part of Lupus please? I hope it can be added to the article if relevant. John a s (talk) 09:09, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
 * It actually lies within Scorpius' borders apparently so would be better in that article. That one hasa few images but could be expanded significantly Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:44, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Star details
I can't see further details of individual stars of this constellation. I could see aome details of individual stars under the Lepus constellation page. Are details not known or just that noone has added ? Aashrith (talk) 18:40, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Matthews Beach, Seattle

Matthews Beach is a neighborhood in Seattle, Washington; it and Meadowbrook are the southern neighborhoods of the annexed township of Lake City (1954). Matthews Beach lies about 2 miles northeast of the University of Washington, about 8 mile northeast of Downtown.

The general boundaries of Matthews Beach are:
 * bounded on the north by NE 120th Street and Lakeside Place NE, the Cedar Park neighborhood,
 * on the east by Lake Washington;
 * on the south by NE 95th Street and Paisley Drive NE, the Sand Point and View Ridge neighborhoods; and
 * on the west by 35th and 45th avenues, the Meadowbrook neighborhood (see map.

Neighborhoods in Seattle are informal. The residents living west of Sand Point Way may consider themselves belonging to the adjacent neighborhoods of Meadowbrook or Wedgwood. The entirely residential neighborhood abuts Lake Washington and includes Matthews Beach, a seasonally popular city park with the largest Fresh water swimming beach in the city.

History
Matthews Beach is named after John G. Matthews, who had his homestead on the site in the 1880s. What is now Matthews Beach neighborhood has been inhabited since the end of the last glacial period (c. 8,000 BCE—10,000 years ago). The tu-hoo-beed (Thornton Creek) hah-chu-ahbsh (Lake People) of the Duwamish (Dkhw’Duw’Absh, People of the Inside) tribe Lushootseed (Skagit-Nisqually) Coast Salish village was about 1/4 mile north.

Matthews Beach Park
The Burke–Gilman Trail borders Matthews Beach Park on the west and follows the course of the old Northern Pacific Railway line, originally of Judge Burke and Daniel Gilman's Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway (c. 1886). The low-lying areas of the park and adjacent neighborhood is a former wetland which surrounded the mouth of Thornton Creek. As with nearby Magnuson Park at Sand Point, most of the wetland disappeared when the Army Corps of Engineers lowered the lake in 1916 by building the Montlake Cut and the Lake Washington Ship Canal. The area south of the main beach was the site of Pan Am's offices and the dock for Pan Am’s Boeing "Clipper Ships"—the world’s first commercial air transports over ocean.

Matthews Beach Park now boasts a hilly knoll with towering Douglas firs and other trees, picnic tables, a playground, and a swimming beach with lifeguards and a diving platform in summer months. Thornton Creek empties at the southern end of the park, which has been partially rehabilitated to include a wildlife pond, native plants, and bird nesting areas. The Thornton Creek watershed has hosted at least five indigenous species of Pacific salmon and trout, and has been the subject of daylighting efforts at locations further upstream.
