Queen Elizabeth II
Please note that I have disputed the neutrality of this article. Jguk reverted my NPOV template, claiming that the NPOV dispute is just a personal campaign of one person. Whig 09:07, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Milnes
I have no issue with a Category:Milnes. I didn't do that myself simply because (1) I wasn't sure I could just create a catefory and (2) I'm not sure how useful it is given that there may only be a dozen Milnes (at a stretch) that ever make it into Wikipedia. But thanks, anyway.

Now to see how you do this fancy editing thing on your talk page... :-)

Ja, ik heb de pagina gelezen en heb ook mijn steun gegeven aan de petitie omtrent deze gebruiker. Meer kan ik voorlopig niet doen ... Veel succes en good luck! Meursault2004 21:49, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Fujimori
And it's bad to be called a antifujimorista, why? Just wondering. - Big Brother is Watching

Castro
Well I figured I could certify the Kapil Rfc as I was the victim of his ire. As he got me got me muddled up with someone else's edits I figure he is just lashing out without even checking things out, and as it could have been any user a new user might have left wikipedia for ever etc. Anyway you could also put this as my attempt to mediate with him Sunday night. Que le vaya bien, SqueakBox 01:19, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

Kapil
I'm not fond of RfCs and the like but of course I think Kapil needs to mend his ways. I think you could justifiably have gone straight to arbitration, because let's face it, he's not going to respond to an RfC. These guys don't. Grace Note 11:28, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

sigh It's practically pointless anyway. He'll just come back as a new user. Eventually, editors with good will tire out and they win, simply because they are determined to revert and revert until they have their way.Grace Note 00:18, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Grace Note
How about telling Grace Note to try and revert intelligently and lay off the Fidel Castro smoking a Cohiba picture, or at least to give a good reason for placing it back on? Gonna watch me closely now, are you? Ooooooh the communist bravado. Have it your way, at least I'm trying to get a NPOV on Fidel Castro while Grace Note keeps acting like a 6-year old. And yes, if I get banned for whatever reason I'll probably just keep reverting it until it's more neutral, it's absolutely preposterous that the positive things muttered about Castro can just remain there (as encyclopaedic content) without so much as a good (neutral) source. Grace Note hasn't provided a source yet, yet (s)he continues reverting. Sigh, on to continue the revert war with Grace Note, I'm guessing, until a source is provided. Kapil 01:02, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the spam tips. There is a lot I don't know about Wikipedia. I'm just a casual wikipedia contributor but I can't resist to click at least once a day on 'my watchlist' :-) Chardon

Marxism, marxism and marxian thought
Marxism is an ideology often taken to worship Karl Marx the individual. marxism is an ideology which recognises Marx's importance, but isn't interested in leader worship. marxian thought is even more so. Fifelfoo 03:00, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Terrorist categories again
Nominate them for deletion. Obviously, I'll vote to delete them. Remind me when this comes up, because I'm only minimally on Wikipedia the next few weeks. (p.s.: love the Callas photo) -- Jmabel | Talk 18:12, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

Sorry
I have this habit of being too cryptic. I also talk to myself a lot. I think the two things are connected. What I meant by the blank space was that I didn't feel I needed to comment on KT's rant. He'd proved my point. I do feel sorry for the guy, but not enough to think he should be allowed to continue. I've said enough, and am withdrawing from the discussion, but I will be interested to see what happens in the end. --Mothperson 01:31, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

Reactie
Hallo Viajero, ik reageer nu pas omdat mijn internetaansluiting thuis afgesloten is :'-( Ik zit nu in een of ander internetcafé. Ik vind het leuk dat je geïnteresseerd bent in Indonesië. Ja ik spreek Nederlands en ik spreek het eigenlijk beter dan Engels, daarom schrijf ik in het Nederlands :-) Bij Engels moet ik nadenken. Zelf ben ik geboren in Indonesie, maar toen ik 10-11 jaar oud was ging ik mee met mijn ouders naar Nederland. Daarom kan ik Nederlands spreken. In Indonesie zijn er (helaas) niet zoveel mensen meer die Nederlands kunnen spreken. Ze leren liever Engels hoewel het Nederlands nog altijd tot verbeelding spreekt voor veel mensen. Er zijn veel mensen die Nederlands studeren op de universiteiten. Verder is het vak Nederlands verplicht voor rechtenstudenten omdat de Indonesische wetgevingg gebaseerd is op het Romeinse Nederlandse koloniale recht.

Rijsttafel is inderdaad een Nederlandse uitvinding :-) In Indonesie wordt het bijna nooit zo opgediend hoewel de keuken van Padang (Minangkabau of West Sumatra) het dichtst bij in de buurt komt. Bij een Padangs restaurant krijgen alle klanten alle schoteltjes voor zich geserveerd en betaalt hij of zij alleen de gerechten die h/zij genomen heeft. OK tot volgende keer!

Lima districts
Hi Viajero. Thanks, I like to follow that general rule, too. However, I renamed the district articles for the sake of uniformity. In many provinces outside of the Lima Province, districts are not the smallest subdivision, there are even smaller political subdivisions called ciudades, caceríos or anexos, which often have the same name as the districts they belong to. For example, the city of Huancayo does not cover all of Huancayo district, therefore it is necessary to create different articles; in this case the most logical solution would be naming the city's article as "Huancayo" and the district's article as "Huancayo District".

Since in Spanish the district's full names are Distrito de ... and since it would be confusing to have district articles with unstandardized names ("Villa el Salvador" & "Huancayo District", both being articles about districts) I decided to standardize the names of the ca. 1820 districts in Peru and make all of them end with the word District. Greetings, --Tuomas  hello 00:23, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * As I said before, the districts' official names in Spanish (Distrito de Villa El Salvador) should also be taken into consideration. If all articles were to have the simplest name possible, then why do many articles about US counties (for example, Wakulla County, Florida) have such "long" names? Probably because their official full name is x County (article Wakulla is empty). The same thing happens here in Peru with districts. By the way, users in the Spanish-language wikipedia have taken the same step and renamed all articles to Distrito de x'. I doubt that writing in a forum with just one participant would have much sense. That's what your talk page is for. --Tuomas  hello 17:21, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay, I messed up. You win, changes reverted. --Tuomas  hello 02:41, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

Standard operas
Your propsal is fine with me.

I added the missing operas to the list. I also moved 4 or so from the standard to the history section. I will let it sit a day or two. Then maybe do some pruning of operas that as not famous and not often performed -DrG 06:01, 2005 May 23 (UTC)

Deleting subcats
I think the key is nominating multiple categories simultaneously (as I've done for the terrorist cats). Some of them weren't subcats of cat:terrorism, and it is not always applicable to automatically delete subcats on all occasions. Your idea seems a good one in principle, but I cannot presently think of a good way to word it for adding to deletion policy. Yours, Radiant_* 07:31, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

Hello...I believe, although I'm not 100% certain, that "Carriles" is indeed his mother's family name and not part of a compound name. Hope that bit of information is of use. Juancarlos2004 18:48, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Le Nozze di Figaro / The Marriage of Figaro
Although a few months ago I must admit I redirected a few opera articles from their common English names to their original titles, I have now seen the light. So I've proposed moving Le Nozze di Figaro to The Marriage of Figaro. Since a redirect exists there now, it requires an admin to do it and discussion on Talk:Le Nozze di Figaro. If you'd like to comment there, it would be appreciated. Thanks much. --BaronLarf 13:46, May 25, 2005 (UTC)

Fujimori & Alan Garcia
FWIW, I want you to know that I didn't come up with that text about Fujimori wanting to arrest Alan G; it was in the article that Messhermit spun off -- I assume he added it -- and I only did him the courtesy of restoring all of his text to the AF article. As an aside, I find it highly ironical that most people then supported his arrest, since he now appears to be the leading candidate to become the next president of Peru. -- Viajero | Talk 17:47, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe that it is almost universal in underdeveloped countries (with a few exceptions) that the outgoing leaders have no support and most citizens would like to see them in jail, because they end up not delivering on their promises (as most politicians). And then, after a few short years and another underperforming leader, old leaders have a shot to come back.  Exactly what is happening with Alan Garcia and perhaps even Fujimori (in this coming election or in the next).--AAAAA 02:38, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi
Good to hear from you again. I don't know how much help I can be... I'm just stopping by (not returning as an active, regular contributor) to fix only some of the more egregious problems that I can spot. So whatever influence I had in the past is almost certainly gone... I wish you luck with the case, though I wouldn't expect it. The function of the Arbcom seems to be protecting users like Trey Stone and driving off users who try to strive for higher standards, rejecting the idea of Wikipedia as some sort of social club. 172 13:25, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Take a look at SqueakBox's user contribution history. He's applying for assistance from Sam Spade... I didn't know that Sam Spade had a "detective agency" until now. I saw that and finally realized that Wikipedia is hopeless. 172 20:05, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the note
Peace --

I certainly appreciate the sentiments ... it's just a strange time, I think. Even after all this media coverage about the Qur'an thing, I saw some on-line poll today that said that 67% of the public had no problem with what had been happening at Gitmo. That kind of willful suspension of disbelief makes me gasp.

I think perhaps there is a mindset that cries "anti-Americanism" in the face of any problem like this, but I liked to think such people were on the fringe... I also like to think that great figures from our past like John Quincy Adams Lincoln and Harry Truman would have been proud be called "anti-Americans" by such, and would draw the line when people are treated like animals, have their religion desecrtated, and are beaten to death by our military.

You've seen the Bagram article, I know, but ...note too that US citizens have been abucted and tortured now under the connivance of the FBI...

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/052405Y.shtml

This, like the Bush/Blair memo confirming that intelligence had been "fixed" to justify invasion in Iraq, was essentially a non-story in the mainstream US media. Like the Witch sprinkled poppies over all the editors-in-chief or something.

Such developments make me think outlets like WP are particularly important nowabouts.

Keep in touch,

Brandon Yusuf Toropov www.JesustheMuslim.com

 * Hi again -- I did look at the rendition WP article, and I'd like very much to read the Jane Mayer article in the NEW YORKER that you mention. Alas, I can't find it hooking up to anything accessible via Google. You wouldn't have a copy (or link) you could email to me?

 * Many thanks for the reference. yusuf.toropov@gmail.com BrandonYusufToropov 00:00, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the ref, I have added that article to my watchlist and am about halfway through the New Yorker article. If you have access to the NY Times, check out Bob Herbert's Memorial Day column today, some highlights of which are:

 * ''It's now known that many of the individuals swept up in and confined at Guantanamo and elsewhere were innocent. The administration says it has evidence it could use to prove the guilt of detainees currently at Guantanamo, but much of the evidence is secret, and therefore cannot be revealed. This is where the war on terror meets Never-Never Land.... (Column continues:) "How," asked Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, "can our State Department denounce countries for engaging in torture while the C.I.A. secretly transfers detainees to the very same countries for interrogation?"

 * Like almost everyone else in the mainstream media, however, Herbert is apparently not emotionally ready to close his eyes, think of England, and type the word "torture" on his keyboard without deleting it (unless he's quoting someone braver than he). We're still dealing with problems of "abuse" and "humiliation," it seems, as well as the cases of people who were "even killed." What other word besides "torture" could adequately describe, for instance, the rankest of the outrages at Bagram, I am unable to say.

 * Same issue of the Times has a story (Page A12), IN RISING NUMBERS, LAWYERS HEAD FOR GUANTANAMO BAY, that purports to document some reduction in blood-lust, commensurate with exposure to attorneys from outside. Not surprising, but what of the concentration camps discussion of whose existence remains crimethink? BrandonYusufToropov 18:00, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi
I'll need some help on Rios Montt. SqueakBox has ignored just about every substantive point that I've made and instead just keeps on browbeating me over the same points over and over again. As usual, I don't know what can be done about an editor like this. 172 03:24, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Konspire2b
Just wanted to ask about your recatorisation of Konspire2b from Peer to peer to File sharing programs -- my understanding is that the two categories are orthogonal (i.e. centralised programs can share files (e.g. FTP) and P2P systems exist that don't share files, (e.g. DNS)) -- shouldn't we list both categories rather than choosing one or the other? At the moment it doesn't appear in the P2P category, despite being such a program. Ojw 18:19, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Layout fix Amsterdam
Why did you fix the layout of the article on Amsterdam? Was there something wrong, or did you just not like it? Ilse@ 21:18, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

What is going on?
Yes of course, I copied your profile a bit, however, I wanted to show you that I show the same solidarity you do to this site. Why are you guys deleting things?

I have totally brought this page up from almost zero. I've submitted photos, why do you guys have problems with the mothers being on the page?

you need to watch the videos in here http://www.zulmaaguiar.com/Juarez/

honestly look @ least at the 20 MB file... sorry don't have a smaller one right now. but believe me, I'm trying to be as unbiased as possible. I did not delete his information? he's deleting my information?

Also why do you make the page look less legit by moving where the sources are quoted as... I want the text to have the "out link" so to speak.

the way you do it makes it look like its in the footnote. most of all, your last edit "viajero" when you restored it to Hajor's deleted a huge section of footnotes of a bibliography that encourages people to read more. Are you guys working for the Mexican government or what? Why are you defending the murderers? Are you one of those that calls the mothers crying babies, who should preoccupy themselves with other issues other than the murder of their daughters. How would you feel if your daughter was murdered and the police just photocopied the newspaper article and inserted it into your daughters case file and called it a day.

I'm not even telling the audience exactly everything I believe about what is going on. I'm just hinting them to investigate on their own.

This stuff about "rehashing" that fox keeps saying is ridiculous. Somebody is misinforming the president. The murders are totally happening. Tell that to the mothers and children of the women that have been killed this year. tell that to the 7 year old girl that was murdered. The women are being consumed the way we consume the products from maquiladoras, and then dispose of them as if they were trash. The non profits and activists that have come up since the deaths of the women are being accused of scaring people into living in Juarez, they blame the mothers, not the government or the murderers themselves. I know the police has been trying to help, but who is to say that they have not botched investigations? The sad truth is that they have. In many cases, they have the DNA of the murderers and still yet they can't come up with who did it? How is this possible? You tell me?

Einzelganger
I am intrigued by your perception of me. Probably spot on. Things have calmed down anyway at Rios Montt. I felt that eventually 172 allowed me to add my material. I am as POV as the next person, just not normally with Latin American politics. Those November 2003 elections had a profound impact on my life, so maybe that is a part of why I have strong feelings around Montt. When I saw him speak it was his daughter Zury, sounding like a screaming witch, who really scared me, SqueakBox 23:05, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

Many thanks for your note
... and for the spot-on references. The "statelessness" point was a chillng one that I had not considered in those terms.

The Qur'an abuse article was a featured news story today on the WP homepage, which made my heart quicken. :)

Do you suppose there is a current-events-driven article to be developed regarding AI's description of Gitmo as the "gulag of our times"? Or the Bush human rights record in general? Curious for your thoughts. BrandonYusufToropov 13:39, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi again -- the abduction of the German Muslim to Guantanamo is certainly a terrifying story. Thanks so much for passing it along.

 * Re: the human rights piece: I'm sure you're right. Yet if there is a hard news event to connect these things to, there is sometimes a better chance for high visibility. (We had POV battles at the Qur'an desecration page, too, but facts and new revelations got in the way of the disruptions.) I guess I'm still waiting for another topic offering similar clarity, similarly demonstrable evidence of contempt for international law, and similar relevance to the average curious person. I'll let you know if something hits me. BrandonYusufToropov 14:46, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * This for instance... perhaps something about indictments for violations of international law, tying into AI charges? Wasn't there something with Rumsfeld being indicted in Germany? Do you have anything on that? Or know how it has affected his travel plans? BrandonYusufToropov 21:01, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Spam blocking
Hi Viajero,

I have to admit I'm more in favour of removing spam links than most people, but your 1 year block on User:62.195.252.195 for consistently adding a spam link to Amsterdam caught my attention. It seems a bit strong, given that they only had two warnings. Is there some prior history here that isn't so obvious? -- Solipsist 19:33, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi, as you can see from that users contributions, their only activity on Wikipedia over the past year has been to try to add that link to the Amsterdam page; by my count twenty times. Each time it gets reverted by another editor. There was also some discussion about this issue on the Talk page in which he/she took part, but evidently in vain. HTH, -- Viajero | Talk 20:00, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * That's what I figured. I think you were right to block - its just that a full year block is a longer than the arbitration committee typically hands out, even for cases of egregious disruption and vandalism. The typical 24 hr block probably wouldn't work as they are only an occaisional visitor, but it looks like they would notice a 1 month block to start with and you could escalate from there. -- Solipsist 20:14, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, reduced to thirty days. -- Viajero | Talk 20:22, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Lets hope it works. A message on their talk page stating that they have been blocked is usually a good idea too. -- Solipsist 20:36, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hey
I've noticed Kapil raising his head again, via your notices, thank you. I dunno - what's the budget this year for rope? I did believe sooner or later, but I forgot how much rope it might take.

Many, instead of implying all?
I note in Corporate media you removed the word "some" from "Corporate media is a term used by some media commentators........" It now reads as if all US media commentators use the term to imply that the mainstream media is controlled by large multinationals (which manipulate and filter out news that does not fit their corporate agenda). Do you think media commentators working for Rupert Murdoch's media empire (one example) would agree with such an assertion? Would you agree that I inset the word "many" where the word "some" previously appeared? Moriori 23:11, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

Operettas
What's your opinion on operettas? I view them as a subcategory of operas, but User:DrG has changed the category hierarchy of Category:Operetta to be a separate entity and has also created a new wikiproject (WikiProject Operetta (of which he is the sole member) to deal with them. If you don't feel as strongly about this as I do, I'll let it go because I don't want to create more conflict with DrG if it's pointless.  Thanks much. --BaronLarf 19:56, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

Social misfits et al.
I agree with you totally. I'm all for social misfits if they can behave with a modicum of restraint (I mean - I'm a social misfit, but I do try to behave somewhat civilly most of the time, at least in public, and my dogs will never tell what I may utter out loud in private). But this one is hopeless. Sooner or later, etc. Now, you've made me think. Although I've reached a point in my life where I'm able to dismiss such nonsense, his attack on me really went way beyond the bounds of wikiquette, I think. I thought it was sort of funny. A lot of other people might not. I'm perfectly willing to lodge a complaint, if you would think it would help your case. I'm confused about the rules on your RfC, because I entered as an outsider, and then got dragged in by Kapil and jumped on repeatedly. So this would be a separate matter? Can't it be combined, since it stems out of the first? Give me some advice, here. I'm not in the "don't make waves" boat, which has not always worked out well, but I'm too old to change much.

I will look in from time to time, but I cannot stand to read all of that Trey Stone/Kapil/et al. discussion about Fidel Castro.  Kapil seems to be behaving very well, for Kapil.

Deaths in Juarez
Dear Viajero: Hi! I want to start by complimenting you on the new photo you put. You look very pretty, very gothic. While I like Donna Versace's style, I also love gothic. You go girl!

I wanted to comment you about something. User:Zaguiar apparently sent me a very disrespectful letter. I say apparently because the person who sent me the letter her last name is Aguilar (aguiar)...I wanted to know if you wanted me to send you a copy of the letter she wrote me and check it out. She basically told me since Im Puerto Rican its not my business what happens in Juarez, when, if you look at the article, I dedicated it to the women of Juarez because I love Mexicans and all Latin Americans for that matter as I feel we are the same and I originated the article in hopes to bring international attention to this tragedy. Another point she does not seem to understand is that at Wikipedia we need to stay neutral and, atrocious and sad as I think the murders are, I cannot put that there. i tried to explain and I was answered Are the murders neutral?. Also, the sender feels offended that I mentioned loving Mexico's culture and how I relate to it and how I made my lifelong dream of visiting that beautiful country in 2001.

So I wanted to ask you if you wanted to check the letter I received and see what you think. As a person that loves all my fellow Latino brothers from Barcelona to Tijuana to Buenos Aires, and someone who has dedicated my time to raise awareness about Latin America, our great talents and our tragedies for three years here, her letter made me feel disrespected, dissilusioned that someone cant conceive Latinos together in the good ones and bad ones, and, more than anything else, hurt. The insults given by Zaguiar or Zulma Aguilar to me (You're stupid, educate yourself) made me tell her never to attempt to contact me anymore, or I would consider that stalking. Seen as you tried to clarify the point of view at the Deaths talk page, thats why Im wondering if maybe you want to at least read the letter I received.

I know that you are a Mexican and have lived in Puerto Rico. I just wanted also to let you know forehand that the only reason I created the article is out of worry for our sisters in Ciudad Juarez and love for them and hope that the crimes can finally end soon. Thats why I was so disturbed at this letter I received.

Thank you for everything, Viajero, and God bless you!

Sincerely yours, ''[[User:AntonioMartin|Antonio 100% LATINOOOO!! Martin

Just so you are aware... (Article on 1755 Lisbon earthquake)
Just in case you want to make some sort of response, I wanted to alert you to the two part article by Theresa E. Carpinelli on 1755 Lisbon earthquake: Part One, Part Two. It is specifically about a claim originally added by you, "Priests of the inquisition roamed the city, rounding up "heretics" and hanging them on the spot for angering God". It was mentioned in the Wikipedia Quarto, and I didn't see any mention of it on a quick review of your talk page, so I thought I'd let you know. Feel free to ignore if you wish.

Pablo Neruda
Things are weird there, because TDC and Gamaliel are in an edit war where they seem to have stopped even bothering to read each other's stuff. I think Gamaliel's version is more solid, and certainly he is more polite, but he was also reverting some perfectly valid statements. I've been in there taking some material I consider valid from either side and putting it into the other, making spelling corrections, etc. Mostly, this has been accepted, but I'll admit I find it uncomfortable when TDC is in a position to say that he is "reverting to Jmabel's version", when he is really reverting to his own last version with my spelling corrections. -- Jmabel | Talk July 7, 2005 17:07 (UTC)

Trey Stone 3RR block

 * You write: Why does the fact that I imposed the block bear any relevance to the matter?

The blocking policy says "users should not block those with whom they are currently engaged in conflict." You're currently edit warring with Trey Stone on Elliott Abrams, Front for the Advancement and Progress of Haiti, Henry Kissinger, Death squad, and Ben Linder, to name just some of them, and a very large proportion of your edits on Wikipedia comprise reverts of edits by Trey Stone. That you're not involved in editing Richard Nixon doesn't seem irrelevant to me. The suspicion that you may bear some animus towards this user is difficult to dismiss.

 * You write: You said that there was "some question" about the 3RR violation. Well, if you look at the AN3 page, you'll see that there are questions about many of the cases reported, yet I don't see you lifting these blocks.

If I encounter a questionable block, I do lift it.

 * You write: If you had examined the diffs and came to the conclusion purely on technical grounds that a 3RR violation had occurred, that would have been a different matter.

The fact that a 3RR doesn't appear to have taken place on this occasion was the most important element in those that contributed to my decision to unblock.

 * You write: Obviously, it is no big deal. It is just that I am troubled with your sense of priorities.

The feeling is mutual.

 * You write: In any case, there are now four votes in support of a temporary injunction against Trey Stone editing articles related to politics while the ArbCom settles the case, and it goes into effect approx. 1530 UTC today.

Whenever arbcom announces an injunction it should be implemented. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 11:21, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Methylprednisolone acetate

Methylprednisolone acetate, sold under the brand names Depo-Medrol among others, is a synthetic glucocorticoid corticosteroid and a corticosteroid ester—specifically the C21 acetate ester of methylprednisolone—which is used in clinical and veterinary medicine. It has been formulated as an aqueous suspension for intramuscular, intra-articular, soft tissue, and intralesional injection alone and in combination with lidocaine, a local anesthetic. Methylprednisolone acetate was previously suspended with polyethylene glycol but is no longer formulated with this excipient due to concerns about possible toxicity. Depo methylprednisolone acetate is a depot injection and is absorbed slowly with a duration of weeks to months with a single intramuscular injection.

Fuorn Pass

Fuorn Pass or Ofen Pass (Romansh: Pass dal Fuorn, Ofenpass, Passo del Forno) (el. 2149 m.) is a high alpine mountain pass in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. The name is based on the ovens that were used in ironworks in the area. The ruins of these ovens can still be seen from nearby trails.

It connects Zernez in the Engadin valley with Val Müstair, crossing the Swiss National Park in Switzerland.

It was here that a brown bear (Ursus arctos) was seen and photographed in July 2005 - the first sighting of a wild bear in Switzerland since 1923

In 2004, the biggest Honey fungus spotted in Europe was found near the Pass. The fungus is about 1,000 years old and its diameter is estimated at 500 to 800 meters.

Talk:The Dungeons Are Calling

unbiased professional review
It lists Jim Gordon as one of the professional reviews. This is a completely biased review as it was commissioned by the band and featured on the band's official website, let alone uses insider knowledge to paint a picture of the album. This review does not follow wikipedia's guide for reviews re: it's not unbiased or by a source independent of the artist. Further, even if it is an independent review, the band has chosen to list only this reviewer on their website as the "official band review", versus the common approach of a page of all reviews and press, good and bad. Actually, many of the Savatage albums either list Clay Melton or Jim Gordon, but both link to the same official band website and neither should be included as professional reviews. Particularly, as reading the reviews one will find that they include insider information about the making of the albums. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.64.113.160 (talk) 21:06, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

New York Tendaberry

New York Tendaberry is the third album by New York City-born singer, songwriter and pianist Laura Nyro. It was released in the autumn of 1969, on Columbia Records, some eighteen months after its predecessor, Eli and the Thirteenth Confession. It was helmed by her, with the assistance of producer and engineer Roy Halee. The cover photograph was taken by David Gahr.

New York Tendaberry is also considered to be the second in a trilogy of classic original Nyro records, with Eli and Christmas and the Beads of Sweat on either side. They are all considered musically and thematically similar, although New York Tendaberry is the most intense and stark.

In 1969, Nyro was one of the most popular pop songwriters, and various groups including the 5th Dimension, Three Dog Night, and Blood, Sweat & Tears had enjoyed hits with her compositions. Thanks to the strong word of mouth trailing her work, New York Tendaberry became her most commercially successful record, peaking at #32 on the Billboard 200, formerly known as the Pop Albums chart.

The 5th Dimension reached US #27 in the Pop Singles chart (the Billboard Hot 100) with their version of "Save the Country", while artists including Barbra Streisand recorded "Time and Love".

In 2003, the album was included in Mojo's Collection book of the best albums of all time, and the reissued version was voted among the Best Albums of 2002 in Uncut magazine.

Overview
New York Tendaberry is strongly influenced by Nyro's hometown, New York City.

Nyro sings of lovers and romances in a notably darker tone than on her previous album Eli and the Thirteenth Confession.

Musically, New York Tendaberry is far more intimate than any other Nyro album. Multi-layered instrumentation is less than on previous efforts as some songs were built around her voice and piano, though the use of strings and classical instrumentation is notable.

Nyro guided co-producer and engineer Roy Halee using color metaphors. She could not understand musical notation, and used other analogies to communicate what she wanted.

The album also uses sound effects such as the gunshot on "Mercy on Broadway" and the twinkling sky in "New York Tendaberry". Alongside Nyro's piano is a jazz band, an orchestra, and a rock band, though they are used more sparingly than on her previous two releases.

The album was released after a year of night-time recording sessions, and is considered by most to be Nyro's artistic highpoint.

Reissues
The Legacy imprint of Columbia Records reissued the album in remastered and expanded format during the summer of 2002 alongside similar reissues of Eli and the Thirteenth Confession and Gonna Take a Miracle.

The reissue featured the previously unreleased song "In the Country Way," recorded by Nyro in 1971; as well as the mono single version of "Save the Country", which was recorded in the summer of 1968, in an attempt to give Nyro her first chart hit. This attempt backfired, and she stuck to her solo piano renditions for the New York Tendaberry album.

The accompanying booklet features photographs, lyrics and recording details, as well as new liner notes by David Fricke and a back-cover reminiscence from Suzanne Vega. The reissued version was voted among Uncut magazine's Best Albums of 2002.

Pure Pleasure Records added the album to their catalog in 2008. The remastering was made by Ray Staff using the original analog tapes, and brings the original artwork in a gatefold cover, and an audiophile record vinyl in 180 grams.

 * Laura Nyro – piano, vocals, arrangements
 * Jimmie Haskell – conductor, orchestral arrangements

Beef bourguignon

Beef bourguignon or bœuf bourguignon, also called beef Burgundy, and bœuf à la Bourguignonne, is a French beef stew braised in red wine, often red Burgundy, and beef stock, typically flavored with carrots, onions, garlic, and a bouquet garni, and garnished with pearl onions, mushrooms, and bacon. A similar dish using a piece of braised beef with the same garnish is pièce de bœuf à la bourguignonne.

"Bourguignon" is, since the mid-nineteenth century, a culinary term applied to various dishes prepared with wine or with a mushroom and onion garnish. It is probably not a regional recipe from Burgundy.

When made with whole roasts, the meat was often larded.

History
The dish is often "touted as traditional", but it was first documented in 1867, and "does not appear to be very old". Other recipes called "à la Bourguignonne" with similar garnishes were found in the mid-19th century for leg of lamb and for rabbit. In the 19th century, it "did not enjoy a great reputation", perhaps because it was often made with leftover cooked meat.

The dish has become a standard of French cuisine, notably in Parisian bistrots; however, it only began to be considered a Burgundian specialty in the twentieth century.

The co-authors of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Simone Beck, Louisette Bertholle, and Julia Child, have described the dish as "certainly one of the most delicious beef dishes concocted by man".

Serving
Beef bourguignon is generally accompanied with boiled potatoes, but often also with mashed potatoes   or pasta.

Name and spellings
The dish may be called bourguignon or à la bourguignonne in both French and English. It is occasionally called beef/bœuf bourguignonne in American English, but in French and non-American English, by far the most common name is bœuf bourguignon.

Schneeberg Railway (cog railway)

The Schneeberg Railway (Schneebergbahn) is one of three rack railways in Austria still operating, and runs from the small town of Puchberg am Schneeberg in Lower Austria up to a plateau beneath the Schneeberg summit. At 2076 m, the Schneeberg is the highest mountain in Lower Austria. The other two working cog railways in Austria are the Schafberg Railway (opened in 1893) and the Achensee Railway (opened in 1889).

History
The line is 9.85 km long and has a rail gauge of, and uses the Abt rack system to overcome a height difference of 1208 m. With the emergence of tourism in the second half of the 19th century, the region experienced a growing number of city dwellers looking for destinations close to Vienna. The area of the Vienna Hausberge ("Viennese Local Mountains"), the Schneeberg and Rax region, soon emerged as a favourite summer resort of Vienna's wealthy residents and lovers of the countryside. The Schneeberg Railway began its operation in 1897. Designed by Leo Arnoldi, it was built between 1895 and 1897 in two sections: a regular, connecting railroad from Wiener Neustadt to Puchberg; and the cog railway from Puchberg to the mountain plateau.

Ownership
Originally operated by the Arnoldi company, whose majority shareholder was the Berlin bank house Landau, the operation was taken over in 1899 by the AG der Eisenbahn Wien–Aspang (EWA) (Vienna-Aspang Rail Company), due to economic problems. From 1937 it was operated by the BBÖ (Bundesbahn Österreich): the Federal Railway of Austria; the predecessor of today's ÖBB: Austrian Federal Railways), which was an independent commercial company after 1923. After 1940 the railway was fully nationalized, a situation lasting until 1990, when the ÖBB announced it was unable to maintain the existing level of service. Therefore, an independent operating company – the Niederösterreichische Schneebergbahn GmbH (Lower Austrian Schneeberg Railway Company Ltd.) – was founded in 1996, with a 50% shareholding owned by the federal state of Lower Austria, and the other 50% held by the ÖBB. Although it was originally operated with steam locomotives, modern diesel locomotives have also been in operation since 1999. These came from Hunslet-Barclay, Kilmarnock, Scotland.

Austrian rack railways no longer operating
(Operating dates for passenger traffic in brackets)

 * Erzberg Railway (1872–1978). The last rack-railway engine was in use until 1978, when the route was electrified and converted into an adhesion railway. In 1980, despite public protest and a petition, the rack was completely removed. After 1988, there were no more ore trains to the furnaces of Vordernberg and Donawitz and the route was decommissioned. The Zahnradbahn Verein (Cog Railway Society) has operated a heritage train on the Erzberg Railway since 1990, and in 2003 the Verein Erzbergbahn (Erzbergbahn Society) bought the tracks, stations and rolling stock from the ÖBB and continues to operate it as a tourist and heritage adhesion railway on a voluntary basis.
 * Gaisberg Railway (1892–1928) in Salzburg; replaced by the Gaisberg Parkway (Gaisbergstraße).
 * Kahlenberg Railway (1873–1921) in Vienna. Austria's first cog railway was built between 1872 and 1873 for the 1873 World's Fair. Due to World War I, electrification, which had been planned since 1912, could not be completed. The lack of coal and sufficient passengers after the war led to its closure.

All the Man That I Need

"All the Man That I Need" is a song written by Dean Pitchford and Michael Gore. The song was first recorded as "All the Man I Need" by Linda Clifford for her album I'll Keep on Loving You (1982). In 1990, American singer Whitney Houston had a number-one multiple chart hit with this song, recorded as "All the Man That I Need", from her third album, I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990).

Houston's version was released as the album's second single on December 4, 1990 by Arista Records. Her version featured production from Narada Michael Walden and the single became a major worldwide hit, received mainly positive reviews from music critics, and reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100; it remains her fourth biggest-hit in that chart.

Background
"All the Man That I Need" was originally written in 1981, by Dean Pitchford and Michael Gore. They had Linda Clifford in mind when they wrote the song, having written the song "Red Light" from Fame for her in 1980. Clifford recorded her version of the song, "All the Man I Need," for her 1982 album I'll Keep on Loving You. She released it as a single, but it failed to chart.

Pitchford later stated that although different versions of the song were recorded, no one was scoring a major hit with it: "I figured that it was one of those songs that was going to get cut a number of times and not ever have its day," he said. During a dinner with Arista Records' president Clive Davis, the song came up and Davis asked Pitchford to send him a demo. Davis had just finished working with Whitney Houston as the executive producer of her second album, Whitney (1987).

Although he was impressed by the song, he felt they would be unable to do anything with it at that time as Houston had only just finished recording an album, so it would be some time before she would be returning to the studio. During this period, Pitchford's publishers received several requests from other artists wishing to record the song. Houston eventually recorded it for the album I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990).

Composition
"All the Man That I Need" is an R&B song with gospel influences. According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Music Publishing, the song is written in the key of F minor with a key change to the key of F-sharp minor. The beat is set in common time, and moves at a slow tempo of 76 beats per minute. It has the sequence of B♭m–Fm–E♭–E♭/D♭–D♭–Cm7 as its chord progression. Houston's vocals in the song span from the note of C♯4 to the note of A5, while the piano elements range from the note of B♭1 to the high note of F♯5. Stephen Holden of The New York Times, wrote that the song was an "expression of sexual hero worship." The song also features a saxophone solo by American recording artist Kenny G.

Chart performance
Released in December 1990, "All the Man That I Need" entered the US Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart at number 53, the issue dated December 22, 1990. Ten weeks later, on the issue dated February 23, 1991, it ascended to the top of the chart, becoming Houston's ninth number-one on the chart. It stayed atop the chart for two weeks. It also topped the Hot 100 Singles Sales and Hot 100 Airplay charts, her first song to achieve this feat since "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" in 1988. It enjoyed a seven week run in the top ten of the chart, which was one week shorter than that of the album's lead single "I'm Your Baby Tonight." The song made Houston the first female artist to launch multiple number one singles off three or more albums and made her the first and only artist to launch multiple number one singles off their first three albums. The single entered the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (formerly Hot R&B Singles) at number 58, the same week it debuted on the Hot 100. It later peaked at number one on the chart, the issue date of March 2, 1991, making it Houston's fifth R&B number-one hit. When it hit the pole position of the R&B chart, the single spent its second and third week at the top of the Hot 100 and Hot Adult Contemporary charts, respectively. As a result, it became her first single topped simultaneously all of three different Billboard charts — the Hot 100, Hot R&B, and Hot Adult Contemporary — and overall the third triple-crown hit, after 1985's "Saving All My Love for You" and 1986's "How Will I Know," reached the top spot on those of three charts in separate weeks. The song maintained the top position of the Adult Contemporary chart for four weeks, her second-longest stay on the chart. It was ranked number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End chart for 1991. The single was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of 500,000 copies or more on March 21, 1991. In Canada, the song debuted at 90 on the RPM Top 100 Hit Tracks chart. Seven weeks later, it peaked at number one on the chart and stayed there for a week.

Internationally, the song experienced some success. It went to number-one in Canada. It entered the UK Singles Chart at number 27, the week ending date of December 22, 1990, and peaked at number 13 on January 19, 1991, in that country. According to The Official Charts Company, the single has sold 120,000 copies in the United Kingdom. It also reached number 16 in Ireland, 11 in Netherlands, 21 in Austria, and 28 in France. The song also peaked at number 37 in Germany, 36 in New Zealand, and 28 in Switzerland.

Awards
"All the Man That I Need" was nominated for "Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female," Houston's fifth nomination for the category, at the 34th Grammy Awards on February 26, 1992. The song was also nominated for "Best R&B/Soul Single, Female" at the 6th Soul Train Music Awards on March 10, 1992.

Critical reception
"All the Man That I Need" garnered mainly positive reviews from music critics. Larry Flick from Billboard complimented it as a "shimmering jazz-and gospel-inflected ballad", and stated that it "fully demonstrates Houston's vocal beauty". Greg Kot of Chicago Tribune was also positive in his review, writing that through the song, Houston was providing "soundtrack to a million love affairs." A reviewer from Melody Maker said, "She really sounds as if she means it and the chorus is more than suitably sumptuous and soaring and shouty so it really ought to be Number One all over the world by Chrimbo." Pan-European magazine Music & Media declared the song as a "staggering gospel-tinged ballad with an overwhelming build-up in the chorus." A reviewer from Music Week commented, "Another sterling performance from Whitney, on a slightly sub-standard song. Nevertheless, a high chart placing seems inevitable." The New York Times' Stephen Holden was also positive in his review, viewing the song as a "hunk of gargantuan pop bombast swathed in echo and glitzy astral twinkles." People Magazine's editor described it as "an effective, down-tempo change of pace". James Hunter from Rolling Stone called it "an outsize ballad about poverty and damaged self-regard, so expertly that the song, with its effective whiff of Spanish guitar, stages undeniable pop drama."

Retrospective response
About.com ranked "All the Man That I Need" number four in their list of "Top 20 Best Whitney Houston Songs" in 2018, noting that it has "a prominent gospel choir in the final chorus." In an 2020 retrospective review, Matthew Hocter from Albumism described it as "a power ballad bringing some serious drama". AllMusic's Ashley S. Battel said that the song is one of "the two high points she does reach on this album [I'm Your Baby Tonight]", and added "the uplifting tale of another's [sic] love being enough to provide happiness in [the song]."

Music video
The accompanying music video for "All the Man That I Need" was directed by Peter Israelson. The video begins with Houston, donning a curly hairstyle, and wearing a black turtleneck, with her initials "WH" embroidered on it, standing against a wall in a house. She then moves forward in the room, and sits on a chair, singing her lines looking into the camera. The video then switches into another room in the house with all white furniture, including a bed, wardrobe, and grand piano, in which Houston sings. She then moves outside on the balcony, where it is raining. After that scene, she is now seen performing, accompanied by a children's choir, on a stage, in front of an audience at some sort of program. The video ends with Houston finishing the performance, with her outline shown online.

Live performances
Houston performed the song on three of her regional and two world tours. She premiered the song in January 1990, during her Feels So Right Japan Tour, before the release of I'm Your Baby Tonight. The song was performed in 1991 in the Welcome Home Heroes with Whitney Houston concert, and is included on the concert film, taped in Norfolk, Virginia, on March 31, 1991. This performance was also included in the 2014 CD/DVD release, Whitney Houston Live: Her Greatest Performances.

The song was also performed on her third world tour, I'm Your Baby Tonight World Tour. Two different performances of the song on this tour were taped in Yokohama, Japan, on March 15, 1991 and in A Coruña, Spain, on September 29, 1991. The former was broadcast on Japanese TV channel. The latter was aired on Spanish TV channel, and in the United States, her first hourlong TV special, "Whitney Houston: This Is My Life," on ABC TV, dated May 6, 1992.

Two years later on The Bodyguard World Tour (1993–94), she performed the song as a final part of "Love Medley," along with "I Love You," "All at Once," "Nobody Love Me Like You Do," "Didn't We Almost Have It All," and "Where Do Broken Hearts Go." Four different performances of the song were taped and broadcast on each country's TV channel during South American leg of the tour in 1994: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on January 16, during Hollywood Rock festival; Santiago, Chile on April 14; Buenos Aires, Argentina on April 16; and Caracas, Venezuela on April 21. Houston also performed the song on two of her regional tours, The Pacific Rim Tour (1997) and The European Tour (1998).

Besides her tour performances of the song, she performed the song on various TV shows and the concerts. On December 11, 1990, Houston appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (guest host: Jay Leno) and performed the song to accompaniment of her tour band. She also performed the song at The Arsenio Hall Show, and Saturday Night Live on February 23, 1991, which was her first appearance on the show.

"All the Man That I Need" was performed as a part of medley by Houston at the 2nd Billboard Music Awards on December 9, 1991. The medley consisted of two Billie Holiday's classics―"Lover Man (Oh, Where Can You Be?)" and "My Man"―and the song. In 1996, she performed the song at Brunei: The Royal Wedding Celebration, a private gig for the wedding of Princess Rashidah, the eldest daughter of the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah.

Covers
In 1982, the American musical group Sister Sledge recorded another version of the song as "All the Man I Need" as a duet with the singer David Simmons, on the Sister Sledge album 'The Sisters' (1982). Their version failed to make a large impact on the Billboard Hot 100, but reached a moderate peak of number forty-five on the Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart.

In 1994, Luther Vandross (who made the arrangements of the original Linda Clifford version) included his own version, "All the Woman I Need" on his album Songs. He performed the song at the 2001 BET Awards, in honor of Houston.

Django (web framework)

Django (sometimes stylized as django) is a free and open-source, Python-based web framework that runs on a web server. It follows the model–template–views (MTV) architectural pattern. It is maintained by the Django Software Foundation (DSF), an independent organization established in the US as a 501(c)(3) non-profit.

Django's primary goal is to ease the creation of complex, database-driven websites. The framework emphasizes reusability and "pluggability" of components, less code, low coupling, rapid development, and the principle of don't repeat yourself. Python is used throughout, even for settings, files, and data models. Django also provides an optional administrative create, read, update and delete interface that is generated dynamically through introspection and configured via admin models.

Some well-known sites that use Django include Instagram, Mozilla, Disqus, Bitbucket, Nextdoor and Clubhouse.

History
Django was created in the autumn of 2003, when the web programmers at the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper, Adrian Holovaty and Simon Willison, began using Python to build applications. Jacob Kaplan-Moss was hired early in Django's development shortly before Simon Willison's internship ended. It was released publicly under a BSD license in July 2005. The framework was named after guitarist Django Reinhardt. Adrian Holovaty is a Romani jazz guitar player inspired in part by Reinhardt's music.

In June 2008, it was announced that a newly formed Django Software Foundation (DSF) would maintain Django in the future.

Components
Despite having its own nomenclature, such as naming the callable objects generating the HTTP responses "views", the core Django framework can be seen as an MVC architecture. It consists of an object-relational mapper (ORM) that mediates between data models (defined as Python classes) and a relational database ("Model"), a system for processing HTTP requests with a web templating system ("View"), and a regular-expression-based URL dispatcher ("Controller").

Also included in the core framework are:
 * a lightweight and standalone web server for development and testing
 * a form serialization and validation system that can translate between HTML forms and values suitable for storage in the database
 * a template system that utilizes the concept of inheritance borrowed from object-oriented programming
 * a caching framework that can use any of several cache methods
 * support for middleware classes that can intervene at various stages of request processing and carry out custom functions
 * an internal dispatcher system that allows components of an application to communicate events to each other via pre-defined signals
 * an internationalization system, including translations of Django's own components into a variety of languages
 * a serialization system that can produce and read XML and/or JSON representations of Django model instances
 * a system for extending the capabilities of the template engine
 * an interface to Python's built-in unit test framework

Bundled applications
The main Django distribution also bundles a number of applications in its "contrib" package, including:
 * an extensible authentication system
 * the dynamic administrative interface
 * tools for generating RSS and Atom syndication feeds
 * a "Sites" framework that allows one Django installation to run multiple websites, each with their own content and applications
 * tools for generating Sitemaps
 * built-in mitigation for cross-site request forgery, cross-site scripting, SQL injection, password cracking and other typical web attacks, most of them turned on by default

 * a framework for creating geographic information system (GIS) applications

Extensibility
Django's configuration system allows third party code to be plugged into a regular project, provided that it follows the reusable app conventions. More than 5000 packages are available to extend the framework's original behavior, providing solutions to issues the original tool didn't tackle: registration, search, API provision and consumption, CMS, etc.

This extensibility is, however, mitigated by internal components' dependencies. While the Django philosophy implies loose coupling, the template filters and tags assume one engine implementation, and both the auth and admin bundled applications require the use of the internal ORM. None of these filters or bundled apps are mandatory to run a Django project, but reusable apps tend to depend on them, encouraging developers to keep using the official stack in order to benefit fully from the apps ecosystem.

Server arrangements
Django can be run in conjunction with Apache, Nginx using WSGI, Gunicorn, or Cherokee using flup (a Python module). Django also includes the ability to launch a FastCGI server, enabling use behind any web server which supports FastCGI, such as Lighttpd or Hiawatha. It is also possible to use other WSGI-compliant web servers. Django officially supports five database backends: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, and Oracle. Microsoft SQL Server can be used with django-mssql while similarly external backends exist for IBM Db2, SQL Anywhere and Firebird. There is a fork named django-nonrel, which supports NoSQL databases, such as MongoDB and Google App Engine's Datastore.

Django may also be run in conjunction with Python on any Java EE application server such as GlassFish or JBoss. In this case django-jython must be installed in order to provide JDBC drivers for database connectivity, which also can provide functionality to compile Django in to a .war suitable for deployment.

Version history
The Django team will occasionally designate certain releases to be "long-term support" (LTS) releases. LTS releases will get security and data loss fixes applied for a guaranteed period of time, typically 3+ years, regardless of the pace of releases afterwards.

DjangoCon
There is a semiannual conference for Django developers and users, named "DjangoCon", that has been held since September 2008. DjangoCon is held annually in Europe, in May or June; while another is held in the United States in August or September, in various cities. The 2012 DjangoCon took place in Washington, D.C., from September 3 to 8. 2013 DjangoCon was held in Chicago at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and the post-conference Sprints were hosted at Digital Bootcamp, computer training center. The 2014 DjangoCon US returned to Portland, OR from August 30 to 6 September. The 2015 DjangoCon US was held in Austin, TX from September 6 to 11 at the AT&T Executive Center. The 2016 DjangoCon US was held in Philadelphia, PA at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania from July 17 to 22. The 2017 DjangoCon US was held in Spokane, WA; in 2018 DjangoCon US was held in San Diego, CA. DjangoCon US 2019 was held again in San Diego, CA from September 22 to 27. DjangoCon 2021 took place virtually and in 2022, DjangoCon US returned to San Diego from October 16 to 21. DjangoCon US 2023 was held from October 16 to 20 at the Durham, NC convention center and DjangoCon US 2024 is scheduled to return to Durham for September 22 to 27.

Django mini-conferences are usually held every year as part of the Australian Python Conference 'PyCon AU'. Previously, these mini-conferences have been held in:

 * Hobart, Australia, in July 2013,
 * Brisbane, Australia, in August 2014 and 2015,
 * Melbourne, Australia in August 2016 and 2017, and
 * Sydney, Australia, in August 2018 and 2019.

Django has spawned user groups and meetups around the world, the most notable group is the Django Girls organization, which began in Poland but now has had events in 91 countries.

Ports to other languages
Programmers have ported Django's template engine design from Python to other languages, providing decent cross-platform support. Some of these options are more direct ports; others, though inspired by Django and retaining its concepts, take the liberty to deviate from Django's design:
 * Liquid for Ruby
 * Template::Swig for Perl
 * Twig for PHP and JavaScript
 * Jinja for Python
 * ErlyDTL for Erlang

CMSs based on Django Framework
Django as a framework is capable of building a complete CMS, however there are dedicated CMS projects which are built upon and extend the Django framework. Below is a list of a few of the more popular Django-based CMSs:

 * Django CMS
 * Wagtail
 * Mezzanine

Agrostology

Agrostology (from Greek ἄγρωστις, agrōstis, "type of grass"; and -λογία, -logia), sometimes graminology, is the scientific study of the grasses (the family Poaceae, or Gramineae). The grasslike species of the sedge family (Cyperaceae), the rush family (Juncaceae), and the bulrush or cattail family (Typhaceae) are often included with the true grasses in the category of graminoid, although strictly speaking these are not included within the study of agrostology. In contrast to the word graminoid, the words gramineous and graminaceous are normally used to mean "of, or relating to, the true grasses (Poaceae)".

Agrostology has importance in the maintenance of wild and grazed grasslands, agriculture (crop plants such as rice, maize, sugarcane, and wheat are grasses, and many types of animal fodder are grasses), urban and environmental horticulture, turfgrass management and sod production, ecology, and conservation.

Botanists that made important contributions to agrostology include:
 * Jean Bosser
 * Aimée Antoinette Camus
 * Mary Agnes Chase
 * Eduard Hackel
 * Charles Edward Hubbard
 * A. S. Hitchcock
 * Ernst Gottlieb von Steudel
 * Otto Stapf
 * Joseph Dalton Hooker
 * Norman Loftus Bor
 * Jan-Frits Veldkamp
 * William Derek Clayton
 * Robert B Shaw
 * Thomas Arthur Cope

ISO 10303 Application Modules

The STEP ISO 10303 Application modules define common building blocks to create modular Application Protocols (AP) within ISO 10303. Higher-level modules are built up from lower-level modules.

The modules on the lowest level are wrappers of concepts, defined in the Integrated Resources (IR) or Application Integrated Constructs (AIC). Modules on a medium level link lower level modules with each other and specialize them. Only modules on the highest levels completely cover a particular area so that they can be implemented.

Robert Gildea

Robert Nigel Gildea (born 12 September 1952) is Emeritus Professor of Modern History at the University of Oxford and is the author of several influential books on 20th century French history.

Biography
Robert Gildea was born on 12 September 1952. He was educated at Dulwich College and at Merton College, Oxford, before attending St Antony's for a D.Phil under the supervision of Theodore Zeldin. His D.Phil. research was in French provincial education. Before being appointed Fellow in Modern History at Merton in 1979, he was a lecturer at King's College, London.

For his 2002 book Marianne in Chains, a study of life in provincial France during the German occupation, Gildea won the prestigious Wolfson History Prize. The book, however, outraged members of the French academic elite through its documented claims that life in France had not been as adversely affected by the Nazi occupation because many French people had co-operated with the German invaders – far more so than previously believed.

He was elevated to the position of Professor of Modern History from being Professor of Modern French History in September 2006, becoming a Professorial Fellow of Worcester College. He retired in 2020, being succeeded by Patricia Clavin as Professor of Modern History in 2021.

On 10 June 2021 in a BBC Radio 4 interview he declared he was joining other concerned academics in boycotting Oriel College for its refusal to remove the statue of Cecil Rhodes from the façade of the building, erected using money donated by Rhodes.

Gildea lives in Oxford with his wife, Lucy-Jean, and four children.

Detroit Times

Six different newspapers called the Detroit Times have been published in the city of Detroit; the most recent existed for six decades, from 1900 to 1960.

Overview

 * The first iteration of the Detroit Times was an antislavery bulletin only printed from May to November 1842 by Warren Isham.
 * The second iteration began in November 1854. Published by G.S. Conklin and E.T. Sherlock, with John N. Ingersoll as editor. The paper was purchased that same month by Ingersoll and Tenny, and sold again in December 1855, to an association of journeyman printers, who published the paper until the spring of 1856.
 * The third version was established in April 1881; it was likely discontinued before the end of 1881 after being bought by The Sunday Herald.
 * The fourth Detroit Times, a daily and Sunday, was printed from December 4, 1883 to February 26, 1885 at 47 West Larned Street and was run by a stock company. The paper's managers were Charles Moore, Charles M. Parker, D. J. McDonald and Frank E. Robinson. A fire on the morning of April 11, 1884 completely destroyed the printing plant; with the assistance of the other Detroit printing establishments, the edition was printed without interruption. Lloyd Breeze purchased the paper November 22, 1884; the paper was suspended on February 26, 1885.
 * Five years later, James E. Scripps, owner of The Detroit News, set out to prove a point: he started the fifth version of the Detroit Times and sold it for a penny a copy. After printing it for 18 months and proving he could make a profit selling a newspaper for a penny, Scripps merged the Times into the News.

Sixth and final version
The sixth and most recent version (to date) of the Detroit Times was published as an evening paper from 1900 until November 6, 1960. The Times was brought back to life by James Schermerhorn October 1, 1900 as Detroit Today but quickly changed its name to the Evening Times. The paper was purchased, after the property was placed in the hands of a receiver, by William Randolph Hearst in the later part of 1921.

At the time Hearst purchased the Times it was located at 131 Bagley Street; Hearst wasted no time working out plans for a new state-of-the-art printing plant. With the backing of Hearst, who dispatched famed editor Arthur Brisbane to Detroit to kickstart the new management, the Times became the fastest-growing paper in the city, rivaling The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press in the great Detroit newspaper war. The Times hit its highest circulation in 1951, with an average daily high of 438,757 papers sold.

But the 1950s were not kind to the newspaper business, and the Times' circulation numbers slipped to about 400,000 copies sold daily by 1960. Rumors of a sale of the Times had been circulating for weeks, then on the evening of Sunday, November 6, 1960, Newsweek magazine broke the story with the headline,"One Out In Detroit," explaining that Hearst's "limping" paper had been sold to The Evening News Association, owner of its "independently owned, well-heeled competitor," The Detroit News. Reports of the sale also appeared that evening on Detroit radio station WXYZ (now WXYT) as well as in the early "bulldog" edition of the Detroit Free Press.

The Free Press reported at the time that only one person at the Times, General Manager William H. Mills, knew of the imminence of the sale, and that H.G. Kern, general manager of the Hearst chain, had informed Mills of the completion of the sale as early as Friday, November 4, instructing him to only inform the employees on Monday morning.

The Times' 1,500 employees were given little notice: They received termination telegrams at two in the morning on Monday, November 7, mere hours before they would begin reporting for work. The telegrams stated the following: "It is with deep regret that the management of the Detroit Times must inform you of termination of your services as of the opening of business on Nov. 7, 1960. It is not necessary for you to report for further duty. Your paycheck will be available on your usual payday in the Detroit Times lobby. The chief accountant has been instructed to mail you a check as soon as possible for any monies that may be due you under the collective bargaining agreement between the Detroit Times and the Guild." The telegrams offered no explanations for the terminations. Employees were only informed that the building was locked and there were armed guards around it. A week or so later employees could return to clear their desks, accompanied by those armed guards. The news of the sale was delivered to the newsroom staff in the middle of the night, at approximately 3am on Monday, November 7. They were nearly finished with that day's first edition of the Times, but were given the news, told to stop what they were doing and to leave the premises, making the Sunday, November 6, 1960 edition the final ever for the Detroit Times.

On Monday, November 7, the day after reports of the sale began to surface, and the day after the unannounced final edition of the Times, the News and Hearst released a joint statement reporting the sale as a merger. The $10 million deal included the Times, its building, its presses, all physical assets, distribution rights and subscription lists. That same day, the News began showing the Times' masthead below theirs, displaying, "The Detroit News - including the best features from the Detroit Times," meaning that even as former Times workers were still trying to absorb the shock of the news they had just received that morning, Times subscribers would begin receiving deliveries of the News - featuring the Times masthead - later that afternoon.

In reality, very few of the Times staff were offered jobs with the "merged" paper, as it was no merger. The News had in fact, purchased the Times, closed it down in the middle of the night with no advance warning, locked down its building, and fired its employees. Many of the Times' pressmen, stereotypers, paper handlers, machinists, electricians and mailers were offered jobs printing the News. The News also offered all Times carriers jobs. The biggest names amongst the Times reporters were cherry-picked for positions with the expanding operations of the News, as well as the rival Detroit Free Press. About 400 of the Guild members at the Times were sent scrambling for jobs at out-of-town papers, or left to find jobs in different industries.

Hearst executives expressed "regret at leaving Detroit" after nearly 40 years, but said that, much like the current troubling era for print journalism, "the Times has been beset by the same basic problems confronting so many other metropolitan newspapers," and that circulation and advertising were not rising to match the cost of doing business. The Times reportedly had lost $10 million in the previous five years.

The prevailing opinion of the sale was that the Hearst papers, which were in financial trouble, sold the Detroit Times because it was one of the few properties that anyone wanted to buy. On November 11, the News began using the presses of the Times to help with its huge bump in circulation. Before the News bought the Times, its daily circulation was around 525,000 and 740,000 on Sunday. After the sale, the News was printing 900,000 copies daily and 1.2 million on Sundays. (The first such Sunday run, on November 13, 1960, broke the record for largest print run in the history of Detroit.) About 300,000 of the 900,000 daily copies and 200,000 of the Sunday copies were printed on the Times' presses. This acquisition is a major reason why for many years, The Detroit News could boast beneath its masthead of having "The Largest Evening Circulation In America," which was eventually downsized to "Michigan's Largest Newspaper." That lasted until the News was overtaken in daily circulation by the rival Free Press.

The News would continue to use the Times' presses along with its own until 1975, when it opened a new, state-of-the art printing plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan, that replaced both, and is still in use to this day, publishing the News, the rival Free Press (due to a joint operating agreement) and several other papers. The Times building was demolished in 1978. The area where the Times was located is still called Times Square, although the Square itself was removed to make way for the Rosa Parks Transit Center in 2009.

The Detroit Times should not be confused with the Detroit Metro Times, the original name of the weekly Metro Times.

Paul Pasqualoni

Paul Lucian Pasqualoni (born August 16, 1949) is an American football coach for the Memphis Showboats of the United Football League (UFL). He most recently was the defensive line coach for the Carolina Panthers.

Pasqualoni has served as the defensive coordinator of the NFL's Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions, and as the defensive line coach and interim defensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys. He was the head coach of the Syracuse University football team from 1991 to 2004.

Early life
A native of Cheshire, Connecticut, Pasqualoni attended Cheshire High School, where he lettered in football and basketball. Following graduation, he continued to Bordentown Military Institute, also lettering on the football squad, and graduating in 1968. Pasqualoni then enrolled at Penn State, where he was a walk-on and subsequent letterman, as a linebacker under head coach Joe Paterno. In 1972, he received a B.S in health and physical education, then finished his education at Southern Connecticut State, receiving a M.S. in physical education and human performance.

Pasqualoni began his coaching career in 1972, while a graduate student at Southern Connecticut, as an assistant at his alma mater, Cheshire High School, where he remained for four seasons. After completing his master's degree, he was hired in 1976 as an assistant at Southern Connecticut by then-head coach, George DeLeone, who also served as a future assistant at Syracuse with Pasqualoni under Dick MacPherson. Pasqualoni was promoted to defensive coordinator in 1980, a position which he held for two seasons.

In 1982, Pasqualoni was hired away from Southern by in-state school Western Connecticut State University, as its head coach and athletic director. In five seasons with the Colonials, he amassed a 34–17 record, and coached the team to a 1985 New England Football Conference championship and appearance in the NCAA Division III playoffs.

Syracuse University
Pasqualoni was an assistant at Syracuse from 1987 until 1991, when he was promoted to head coach after the position was vacated by Dick MacPherson, who left for the NFL to coach the New England Patriots. The Orange (then known as the Orangemen) enjoyed a number of successful years with Pasqualoni at the helm. The team won the Fiesta Bowl over Colorado in 1992 and defeated Clemson 41–0 in the Gator Bowl in 1995, Donovan McNabb's freshman year. The team had a 6–3 record in bowl games under Pasqualoni. Pasqualoni's 14-year record with Syracuse was 107–59–1. His only losing season was in 2002 with a 4–8 record. Most seasons of his tenure saw Syracuse competing in the Top 25 in the country.

While coach of the Orangemen, Pasqualoni's roots in Connecticut led him to recruit many star players from Connecticut high schools, including Bloomfield's Dwight Freeney, New Britain's Tebucky Jones and the McIntosh brothers from Cheshire High School.

At the conclusion of the 2004 season the team lost the Champs Sports Bowl 51–14. New athletic director Daryl Gross fired Pasqualoni on December 29, 2004, despite Syracuse's president, Nancy Cantor, publicly stating that Pasqualoni would be on the sideline the next season. He was replaced by Greg Robinson, who had been serving as the defensive coordinator at the University of Texas. During the 2005 season, the first season in 14 years without Pasqualoni leading the team and the first in 17 years without him on the staff, the Orange posted a record of 1–10, the worst on-field record in the 117-year history of Syracuse football.

In 2015, Syracuse vacated all of its wins from 2004 due to ineligible players. As a result, Pasqualoni's final season is officially the first winless season in school history.

University of Connecticut
On January 13, 2011, Pasqualoni was hired to lead the University of Connecticut football program, by soon to be dismissed AD Jeff Hathaway, two weeks after former coach Randy Edsall left for the University of Maryland.

He was fired as coach of the Huskies on September 30, 2013 in the midst of his 3rd season after starting 0–4.
