Royal Archives

The Royal Archives, also known as the King's or Queen's Archives, is a division of The Royal Household of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom. It is operationally under the control of the Keeper of the Royal Archives, who is customarily the Private Secretary to the Sovereign. Although sovereigns have kept records for centuries, the Royal Archives was formally established as recently as 1912 and occupies part of the Round Tower of Windsor Castle. Since the Royal Archives are privately owned, requests for public access must be approved based on the needs and qualifications of the researcher.

History
Following Queen Victoria’s death in 1901, an appointment for Keeper of the Royal Archives was made by Edward VII to safeguard the queen’s “collection of official and private correspondence.” At the behest of George V, this archive along with other royal collections were relocated for storage and display within the Round Tower of Windsor Castle in 1914. Through the attainment of additional records and collections through various means of acquisition, the Royal Archives gradually increased in scale. The tower’s renovation and subsequent expansion decades later successfully addressed spatial constraints and provided more effective methods of archival preservation.

Stewardship
The King's Archives is the responsibility of the Assistant Keeper of the King's Archives (also The Librarian, Royal Library), and professional staff under the Archives Services Manager who is in charge of the day-to-day work in the archives. There are several qualified Archivists, as well as a small clerical staff. In addition to paid staff, volunteers are crucial in maintaining collections, developing exhibitions, and facilitating research. Benefiting from the use of the Collections Management System, CALM, Royal Archives staff ensure that collections in the royal archives are efficiently catalogued and made accessible digitally.

Sir John Wheeler-Bennett, GCVO, MCG, OBE, FRSL, FBA, was Historical Adviser to the Queen's Archives from 1959 to 1975.

Appointed Keepers
Reginald Brett, 2nd Viscount Esher was the first appointment as Keeper of the Royal Archives.

 * Clive Wigram (1931 to 1945)
 * Sir Alan Frederick Lascelles (1945 to 1953)
 * Sir Michael Edward Adeane (1953 to 1972)
 * Sir Martin Michael Charles Charteris (1972 to 1977)
 * Sir Phillip Brian Cecil Moore (1977 to 1986)
 * Sir William Frederick Payne Heseltine (1986 to 1990)
 * Sir Robert Fellowes (1990 to 1999)
 * Sir Robin Janvrin (1999 to 2007)
 * Sir Christopher Geidt (2007-2017)
 * Sir Edward Young (2017-2023)
 * Sir Clive Alderton is the current Keeper of the Royal Archives since 2022.

Collections
Comprising collections including diaries, letters, household papers. and administrative records, the Royal Archives retain significant personal and official information about the British monarchy (also Monarchy of the United Kingdom). The Royal Photograph Collection also occupies part of the Round Tower and holds over 400 000 items of photographic material from the Royal Collection. The Royal Photograph Collection is managed separately from the Royal Archives and is the responsibility of the Head Curator of the Photograph Collection, who reports to the Director of the Royal Collection.

Twentieth century royals including Edward VII, George V, Edward VIII, and George VI are well represented in the Royal Archives. Documents ranging from private correspondence to official government papers illustrate public engagement and diplomacy. Recent files and those currently in use are retained at Buckingham Palace.

In commemoration of the Royal Archives’ foundation, “Treasures from the Royal Archives” was published in 2014 and highlighted several noteworthy collections such as the Georgian Papers and the Letters of Queen Victoria.

Wardrobe, Household, and Estate Papers
Presented to George V in 1914 by the Duke of Buccleuch was a collection of papers including bills and receipts detailing the purchases of royal furnishings and wardrobes. Currently the oldest records in the Royal Archives, the Wardrobe Papers originated from the Dukes of Montagu between 1660 and 1749. Records of the Royal Household including staff records are also stored at the Royal Archives for safekeeping and made available online for public research. These papers detail financial and managerial information of various royal estates during the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries.

Stuart and Cumberland Papers
Following the death of Henry Benedict Stuart, papers and letters belonging to the Stuart lineage were acquired by George IV after eventually relocating from Rome to the Royal Archives through a complex set of circumstances. One of the first and oldest collections housed in the Royal Archives, the Stuart Papers are composed of letters, records, and other papers illustrating the Jacobite conflict between 1713 and 1770. Obtained around the same time as the Stuart Papers, records of the Duke of Cumberland were transferred to the Royal Archives in 1914. Significant moments in the Jacobite Rebellion from 1745 to 1757 were documented in military records and correspondence.

Georgian Papers
In partnership with the Royal Library, The Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, and the College of William and Mary, the Royal Archives are systematically cataloging the Georgian Papers, which will be made digitally accessible and searchable to users all over the world. As part of the Georgian Papers Programme, the Royal Archives plans to catalogue all its papers relating to the Hanoverian monarchy and make them freely available online by 2020.

Introduced to the Royal Archives in 1914, both official and private correspondence of George III and George IV were found in the care of the Duke of Wellington who presented them to George V upon discovery. Although a small amount of the Georgian Papers includes records from George I and George II, most of the collection represents George III and George IV. This collection also includes a sample of essays and other personal writings of George III. Additionally, despite William IV’s official papers being destroyed after his death in 1837, records including personal accounts, military documents, and private correspondence have been preserved in the Royal Archives. As acting Prime Ministers under the reign of William IV and Queen Victoria, The 2nd Earl Grey and Lord Melbourne, produced a wealth of official correspondence during their time in service. Known as the Melbourne and Howick Papers, these documents detail noteworthy political and social affairs of the 1830s.

Queen Victoria's Papers
Contributing to the documentation of Queen Victoria’s reign, Viscount Esher edited both private and official correspondence, which was later published and retained in the Royal Archives. The Queen's youngest daughter Princess Beatrice took on the responsibility of editing and transcribing her mother's personal journals. In 2012 the Archives successfully completed a project to scan Queen Victoria's journals and make them available online as a special project for the diamond jubilee of Victoria's great-great-granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth II. Access to this online archive is freely available in the UK but restricted to academic institutions and libraries abroad.

Unlike his mother, Queen Victoria, Edward VII ordered the destruction of most of his personal correspondence upon his death in 1910. Fortunately, the official records from his reign endured and are stored in the Royal Archives. The King's consort, Queen Alexandra, ordered that her papers be disposed of as well, however a collection of letters to and from her son, George V, have been maintained. Additionally, military papers belonging to the Duke of Cambridge were initially acquired by Queen Mary and are of great historical value at the Royal Archives.

Mohan veena

Mohan veena refers to either of two distinct plucked string instruments used in Indian classical music, especially Hindustani classical music which is associated with the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent.

Pandit Radhika Mohan Maitra and his Mohan Veena(the original Mohan Veena)
The first of these was a mix of the sarod, veena and surbahar, developed in 1948 by Radhika Mohan Maitra. In 1949, Thakur Jaidev Singh, the then chief producer of All India Radio, named the instrument 'Mohan veena' after him. Pandit Maitra performed 22 national programs and several AIR recordings with the instrument before his untimely death in 1981. These recordings are treasures of AIR archives and now available in public domain.

Joydeep Mukherjee and the Revival of the Mohan Veena
However, Pandit Joydeep Mukherjee, a grand disciple of Pandit Maitra has revived this instrument in 2020. He was bestowed with Sangeet Natak Academy's Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar in 2019 for his work on the revival of rare instruments like Sursingar, Mohan Veena and also for playing the Sarod. Pandit Mukherjee has played this type of Mohan Veena in G20 Leaders' Summit held in New Delhi at Bharat Mandapam in September 2023 in front of the World Leaders and the Indian Prime Minister, President and cabinet of ministers. He was appreciated globally for this contribution.

Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt's Modified Archtop Guitar
The second instrument is a modified archtop Hawaiian guitar, created by Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, and is the instrument most commonly referred to by the name Mohan veena. This instrument has between 19 and 21 strings in total: three to four melody and four to five drone strings strung from the peghead, and twelve sympathetic strings strung to the tuners mounted on the side of the neck. A gourd (tumba) is screwed into the back of the neck for improved sustain and resonance. It is held in the lap and played with a bar like a slide guitar.

Disbelief
Holly Heck! a 32 page GM Shield?! 16 Page Char sheets?!

It must take more then a few minutes to set up the game! --Theredstarswl 04:39, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh god yes. --InShaneee 04:43, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * A beginning player may take several hours to make a character. An experienced player may bring it down to less than two hours.---Mihoshi 18:24, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Not really, there is a variant tourny game called a "Roll-n-Run" in which players are given twenty minutes to roll up a new character and play it. Experienced players can create a decent character in about 30 minutes, sometimes less. Greylond 21:07, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It's an hour to roll up a character, not 20 minutes. And it's hard to do in fully equipped finished PC in an hour. Dstanfor 14:00, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * That is of course your POV. It does take me that long but there are experienced players who can make them in less than an hour, even in 30 minutes. To find out simply go to the Kenzer&Co message boards and ask. 19:11, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Those playing roll and run events have said they've had difficulty finishing in an hour with all their equipment. A person said he timed himself at 40 minutes particularly for a roll and run event. However, people also said that for a home character that they want to flesh out, it will take them longer than this. Dstanfor 19:55, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * And some have said that it didn't take them as long. Also, I personally have talked with people that say that it only takes about 30 minutes for them. Again, Like I said your first statement is a Point of View not a statement of fact.
 * I refer you to this faq. Dstanfor 12:16, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Truely the game with the most book-keeping out there, there are lots of forms to fill in and after-game reports for the gm to compile.

 * Please note that the 16 page character sheet is optional, the normal sheet is 4 pages, if memory serves me. I haven't played in forever. Moterola 19:28, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Two pages, actually. The 16 page thing is actually consistent with size of character records encouraged by other RPGs.  The difference is that the HM Player Character Record provides actual forms and templates for recording things like the character's proteges, enemies, will, and achievements. --Dunkelza 14:31, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Don't knock the GM Shield until you've seen it. It is designed so that all the GM needs to run a session is the GM Shield and the adventure notes. Plus of course it has funny and useful stuff on it like the "Pizza Matrix" to help the group decide on what pizza to buy to please everyone at the table. Greylond 21:07, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah. And it also costs either 20 or 30 dollars. It also saves on time going back and forth to the GMG and PHB, too. Twas a nice birthday gift from my group, though. Moterola 19:31, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The GM Shield is truly stupendous. The degree of thought must have gone into it is awe-inspiring.. --Dunkelza 14:31, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Hackmaster Program?
Shouldn't the section about the Hackmaster program go into its own article with a disambiguation link form this page?

 * I think it should.

Agreed, the mention under "Other Uses" does not seem fitting. I've made a request for an uncontroversial move, with no change to the existing article. JanGB 11:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Any progress on the move of the HackMaster program to a new article? I can't see any reason for that to be opposed.Big Mac 13:54, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Seems like an obvious move. --DestroyYouAlot (talk) 15:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)all information

 * See HackMaster (software). Percy Snoodle (talk) 16:12, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Merge
It's not clear that this article is independently notable. It's not even clear whether it's talking about the fictional association or the real one, but that's another problem... 'Merge with HackMaster. Percy Snoodle 10:24, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

It's talking about the real organization. I see no problem merging it with the Hackmaster article. LawfulGoodThief 18:19. 30 June 2006 EST.

 * I feel the same way about Hackmaster Players Association; I think they should both be merged. Percy Snoodle 13:44, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Composite variety

A composite variety is a plant population in which at least 70% of its progeny result from the crossing of the parent lines.

A composite variety is a variety developed by mixing the seeds of various phenotypically outstanding lines possessing similarities for various characteristics like height, seed size, seed color, maturity etc. Crossing among the selected varieties is possible because the species used are open pollinated. Consequently, composite varieties are genetically heterogeneous, and an exact reconstitution of the composite variety is not possible.

Farmers can use their own saved seed for 3 to 4 years, after that seed should be replaced as the initial performance of the composite cross variety will have drifted from the original type.

Charles Donnelly (poet)

Charles Patrick Donnelly (10 July 1914 – 27 February 1937) was an Irish poet, republican and left wing political activist. He was killed fighting on the republican side during the Spanish Civil War.

Early life
Born in Killybrackey, near Dungannon, County Tyrone on 10 July 1914 into a family of cattle breeders. His father, Joseph Donnelly sold his farm in 1917 and the family moved to Dundalk and opened a greengrocer's shop. Joseph Donnelly became quite prosperous, running his shop, dealing cattle and buying and selling property in the Dundalk area. In addition to Charles, the Donnellys had five other sons and two daughters. Charles' mother, Rose, died in 1927, when he was 13 years old.

Charles Donnelly received his early education in the Christian Brothers school in Dundalk. When he was 14 in 1928, the family moved again, this time to Dublin, where Joseph bought a house on Mountjoy Square in the north inner city. He enrolled in O'Connell School on North Frederick Street, but was expelled after only a few weeks. He spent the next few months wandering the streets of Dublin during school time before his father discovered what had happened. At this time also, Charles met and was befriended by radical political activists from the IRA, the Communist Party of Ireland and the left-Republican group, Saor Éire.

His father and aunts then got Charles an apprenticeship with a carpenter, but he gave this up after a year to enroll in University College, Dublin in 1931, where he studied Logic, English, History and the Irish language. In university he began writing poetry and prose for student publications but failed his first year examinations. At this time he also became deeply involved in radical left wing and republican politics. He dropped out of University in 1934, having failed his first year exams three times and joined the radical group, the Republican Congress. There he befriended veteran republicans Frank Ryan and George Gilmore. He also became involved in a romantic relationship with another republican activist, Cora Hughes, Éamon de Valera's goddaughter and later partner of George Gilmore. Gilmore described the relationship between himself, Cora Hughes and Donnelly: "The three of us were always good friends and good comrades...Charlie and I were closer than brothers. Even though he was younger, he was old beyond his years, politically and emotionally very mature." In July 1934 he was arrested and imprisoned for two weeks for his role in picketing a Dublin bakery with other Congress members. After this, his father expelled him from the family home and he spent a period sleeping rough in parks around Dublin.

Political activism
The Republican Congress split at its first annual meeting in September 1934, but the 20-year-old Donnelly was elected to the National Executive of the truncated organisation. Thereafter, he wrote for the Congress newspaper on political and social questions. In January 1935, Donnelly was again arrested for assaulting a Garda (policeman) at a Congress demonstration and was imprisoned for a month. In February 1935, he left Ireland for London. In the British capital he formed the first Republican Congress branch in London and became its first chairman. He found employment variously as a dishwasher in pubs and cafes and as a reporter with an international news agency. While in London he remained a regular contributor to the Republican Congress newspaper (edited by Frank Ryan) and various left wing publications. Together with two other poets, Leslie Daiken and Ewart Milne, he was one of the founders of a duplicated publication called Irish Front (the London journal of the Republican Congress). Daiken admitted that many of the Irish Front editions were written almost entirely by Donnelly.

Eoin McNamee recalled Donnelly as "a frail looking Dublin man with a Tyrone background...he was something of an intellectual and clearly the theorist of the Irish Republican Congress in London at that time. He was well versed in Marxism, wrote for the Congress and Communist press, and frequently appeared on left wing public platforms."

Spanish Civil War and Death
In July 1936, on the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, he urged the Republican Congress to send fighters to the International Brigades. He himself returned to Dublin with the intention of organising such a force. By the end of 1936, he had gone again to London and joined the Brigades. He reached Spain on 7 January 1937 and at Albacete, met up with an Irish contingent, led by Frank Ryan, known as the Connolly Column who had come to Spain to fight on the Republican side. Donnelly and his comrades were attached to the American Abraham Lincoln Battalion. On 15 February, after receiving only rudimentary military training, the Abraham Lincoln battalion was thrown into the battle of Jarama, near Madrid. Donnelly reached the front on 23 February, where he was promoted to the rank of field commander. On 27 February his unit was sent on a frontal assault on the Nationalist positions on a hill named Pingarron. The object of the attack was to take the enemy trenches and ultimately to drive them across the Jarama River. Donnelly and his unit were pinned down by machine gun fire all day. In the evening, the Nationalists launched a counter-attack.

A Canadian veteran recalled, We ran for cover, Charlie Donnelly, the commander of an Irish company is crouched behind an olive tree. He has picked up a bunch of olives from the ground and is squeezing them. I hear him say something quietly between a lull in machine gun fire: Even the olives are bleeding The line would later become famous. A few minutes later, as his unit retreated, Donnelly was caught in a burst of gunfire. He was struck three times, in the right arm, the right side and the head. He collapsed and died instantly. His body lay on the battlefield until it was recovered by fellow Irish Brigader Peter O'Connor on 10 March. He was buried at Jarama in an unmarked grave with several of his comrades.

A collection of his work, written by his brother Joseph - Charlie Donnelly The Life and Poems Dedalus Press, was published in 1987. On the eve of the 71st anniversary of his death, 26 February 2008, Charles was commemorated with the unveiling of a plaque in his alma mater, UCD, attended by 150 people. The commemoration, organised jointly by a group of UCD students and the Donnelly family, was hosted by the School of English and also included a lecture by Gerald Dawe on Charlie's life and poetry. In April 2008, the UCD Branch of the Labour Party was renamed the Charlie Donnelly Branch in his honour.

Donnelly's friend Blanaid Salkeld commemorates him in her poem "Casualties", writing "That Charlie Donnelly small and frail/ And flushed with youth was rendered pale/ But not with fear, in what queer squalor/ Was smashed up his so-ordered valour." A 1976 documentary about the Civil War by Cathal O'Shannon is entitled 'Even The Olives are Bleeding'.

Poetry and Writing
Donnelly was survived by a brother, Joseph, who managed to get many of his poems published in 1987; only five or six were published in his lifetime. Discussing his work, Colm Tóibín said it "mixed an Audenesque exactitude with a youthful romanticism... his poem The Tolerance Of Crows belongs in any anthology of modern poetry". In 1992 Donnelly had work included in Dedalus Irish Poets: An Anthology from Dedalus Press.

Legacy
In 1992 New Island Books published Even The Olives Are Bleeding: The Life and Times of Charles Donnelly by Joseph O'Connor; the book was launched by future Irish President Michael D. Higgins.

Donnelly was commemorated in the Christy Moore song Viva la Quinta Brigada.

Fernando's Passion and Compassion
Fernando loved and had a passion for the sport and spent just as much time playing as he did mentor and training of others, and many that he worked with joined him. Thanks to Fernando’s participation in these training camps with the youth we had another great generation of players. He had a passion for life and helping others.

William F. Harrah

William Fisk Harrah (September 2, 1911 – June 30, 1978) was an American businessman and the founder of Harrah's Hotel and Casinos, now part of Caesars Entertainment.

Early years and education
Harrah was born in South Pasadena, California, the son of attorney and politician John Harrah.

Harrah studied mechanical engineering at UCLA where he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Harrah was forced to drop out of college because of the Great Depression. He worked at various family businesses including a pool hall, a hot dog stand, a shooting gallery, and a bingo-style operation called the "Circle" or "Reno Game."

Gaming beginnings
Bingo was illegal in California, but games of skill based on bingo were legal. The Reno Game (later called the Circle Game) involved rolling a ball down a board where it would register a card suit and number. If one of the 33 players seated in a circle around the board matched a four-card sequence, he or she won, unless they were a shill and, working for the house. (The use of shills to fill the games upset players, but John Harrah felt they were necessary.)

The Reno Game was shut down several times by local authorities, but each time, lawyer John Harrah would get his permit reinstated. Still, the cost of doing business was high. When twenty-year-old Bill told his father he should get rid of the shills and put more money into the business, John challenged him to run the operation by himself. Bill said, "Dad, that would suit me just fine," and paid his father $500 for the business. He then headed down to the pier and fired the shills.

In the course of just three years Harrah made the $100-a-week game into a $25,000 per year business. However, Harrah grew tired of fighting the politicians and wanted to expand his operations into Reno. On October 29, 1937, he opened his first club at 124 North Center Street, called Harrah's Club Bingo. The location was two blocks from the Bank Club and Palace Club that had dominated gaming in Reno.

Building the business
As the locals expected, his tiny Tango bingo parlor closed up fast, lasting only until November the 15th. In July 1938 Harrah opened another bingo parlor, this time closer to the action, called Harrah's Plaza Tango. Virgil Smith was the main financier and a partner in the operation, and also in the club that opened in 1938, called the Plaza Tango at 14 East Commercial Row. Two months later Harrah found a better location at 242 North Virginia Street, close to Harolds Club, called Ed Howe's Tango Club.

After a meeting with Nick Abelman, Bill Graham, and Jim McKay, Harrah waited to be accepted into the Reno gaming fraternity. Eventually, Cal Custer, a respected ex-bootlegger and a long-time confidant of John Harrah, stood up for Bill. His new business ventures were given the green light, after a cash payment was made.

Ed Howe wanted $25,000 for his Tango Club, but accepted just $3,000. Over time, Harrah tried other locations and expanded his casino on Virginia Street several times. A hotel tower opened in 1969.

At Lake Tahoe, Harrah purchased George's Gateway Club in 1955 to expand his empire. Harrah-owned properties included the Lake Club on the lake side of highway 50, Harrah's Tahoe, on the mountain side at the old Stateline Country Club. The hotel tower opened in 1973. Harrah also owned the Zephyr Cove restaurant past Cave Rock which offered slots and blackjack.

Harrah expanded to Las Vegas in 1973 by purchasing the Holiday Casino on the Las Vegas Strip from Shelby and Claudine Williams. The property was close to the successful Sands Casino and across from where the Mirage now stands.

Influence
Harrah used his influence to create the Nevada Gaming Control Board in 1955, an organization designed to regulate gaming in Nevada. In 1959, Harrah helped create an even stronger Gaming Commission to rid the state's casinos of corruption.

Harrah was known for his relations with both his customers and employees. The main theater in Harrah's Reno, originally called the Headliner Room, was renamed Sammy's Showroom after entertainer Sammy Davis, Jr. (whose Duesenberg replica now resides in the museum that bears Harrah's name), and actor-comedian Bill Cosby recalls Harrah as a good friend.

Personal life
Harrah was married seven times to six women, including a four-month marriage to the singer-songwriter Bobbie Gentry in 1969; the sugar baby relationship was alluded to in Gentry's fictionalized account of her life, "Fancy," in which a "benevolent man" (Harrah) takes in an impoverished Southern prostitute (Gentry).

With ex-wife Scherry (whom he married twice), he adopted two boys named John and Tony. He had one birth child, Jeanie Eiliene Sexton Harrah, with Marvel Tudor in 1956. His widow, Verna, worked as a film producer on such features as Anaconda.

He won Best of Show at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance 4 times in 1963, 1964, 1966, and 1976.

Death
Harrah died at the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota, at the age of 66, during a cardiac surgery operation to repair an aortic aneurysm. He left an estate valued at $138 million which was split into two trusts, one for his wife Verna and one for his sons.

Legacy
The William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, which opened in 1967, was renamed in his honor in 1989, in recognition of a $5 million gift from his widow.

When the car his father bought him was stolen and stripped, Harrah vowed to his sister that one day he would own a duplicate of every automobile the family had ever owned.

Harrah had an extensive collection of cars. Many of his cars enjoyed 'best' or 'one-of-a kind' status. Some notable items of his collection were the two Bugatti Type 41s, the Phantom Corsair, two Ferraris and a pair of Jerrari Wagoneers. In 1966 his Bugatti Type 41 Coupe de Ville won Best of Show at Pebble Beach.

After Bill Harrah's death, Holiday Inn acquired Harrah's, including the car collection. The bulk of the collection was sold at several auctions between 1984 and 1986, garnering more than $100 million. An outcry by the people of Reno and Sparks led to Holiday Inn donating 175 vehicles to establish the William F. Harrah Automobile Museum in downtown Reno, Nevada. Some of the cars were donated to form the Imperial Palace Auto Collection in Las Vegas.

Harrah also used the sport of Unlimited hydroplane racing to promote his businesses. In 1962, he purchased Maverick, a champion boat, and renamed it Harrah's Tahoe Miss. In 1966, Bill's third Tahoe Miss won five races, including the APBA Gold Cup, and was the national champion, driven by the late pilot Mira Slovak. In 1968, the boat's name was changed to Harrah's Club to further promote his casino holdings.

Talk:Melrose Place

Characters section or List of Characters Article
Seems that this article has a weak characters section. Most TV shows, especially long running ones, have a list or bullet point characters section, or even a link to another article "List of Characters On...". Melrose had a lot of well known characters and cast members and it deserves expansion. --96.49.117.96 (talk) 05:27, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

 * The MOS and Embedded list suggest prose over lists within an article. Just because many other articles may feature such lists does not necessarily make them appropriate or desired; many, many TV series articles are actually in poor shape from a guideline standpoint. A character list may be an acceptable starting point, but in most cases it should be eventually expanded into a notable, sourced prose section. Of course, a standalone list of some kind may be appropriate if the information meets the content and notability guidelines for one (and though many such lists exist, many fail or push the limits of basic policies). If you want to use articles or lists as examples, always try to look to Featured Articles (Lost, Degrassi: The Next Generation, Arrested Development) and Lists in the genre (or at least higher-rated ones) rather than just "popular" or high-traffic ones. — TAnthonyTalk 05:57, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

 * If I could add my opinion. I think it's merited for a soap opera that features a long and ever-changing cast. I think that a prose article for a long running soap opera is unwieldly. It's good for describing the characters and their histories, but sometimes for data purposes, you just want a tabular list. I don't think a list, put neatly in a table format, looks bad or is unnecessary. Melrose had a long list of cast members and it's easier for quick access to check the list to see who starred on the show and for how long.

 * In a prose format, you have to read the whole article just to see what season a character left or joined the show.

 * I know that Wiki standards hate lists and templates and prefer prose, but most other TV articles have it. I know it's not ideal, but when almost all of them have it and one show doesn't it stands out.

 * There is a cast table in the article now, and I really hope it can be left, at least for a while. The new version of Melrose Place is only 5 episodes old and it already has a cast list, as do Beverly Hills 90210 and 90210. --Mezaco (talk) 19:08, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

 * That is all well and good, but just because a lot of articles do a "bad" thing is no reason to perpetuate the practice. I'm guessing that the "most other TV articles" to which you refer are probably, as I noted above, not "Good" articles or above. The new list in this article isn't overly long so I'm not going to strip it out immediately, but your argument about people needing quick access to coming and going info kind of enforces the idea that WP articles should be sources of trivia, which they are not intended to be. In general, readers looking for minutae are meant to continue on to IMDb.com or other sites. The "new" ''Melrose" has a list because it has yet to be expanded into a proper Characters section, which of course would be lame after only five episodes.— TAnthonyTalk 22:35, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposal
Months ago, I proposed a merger of Seasons of Melrose Place because WP:PLOT is against it. However, I wonder if there is interest to put effort into doing a bold thing. --George Ho (talk) 22:10, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Requested move

 * 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 not moved. I give little weight to the opposes. The relevant question which no one addressed with any evidence but assertion, is whether this is the primary title, through evidence of commonality. I suspect it may be, but I'm not going to guess and I'm finding myself far too often as a closer having to the do the research myself because it wasn't provided.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:47, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Melrose Place (1992 TV series) → Melrose Place (TV series) or Melrose Place – This proposed name has been associated with the very old show, not the short-lived newer one. Do we must obey WP:NCTV's disambiguating by year and stuff? What about Psycho (film)? Actually, maybe the show itself is more familiar to people outside the U.S. more than any other street with the same name, which inspired the TV show --George Ho (talk) 13:32, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Slight Support - I lean in the direction of renaming to Melrose Place, as Primary Topic.--Education does not equal common sense. 我不在乎  03:10, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose - the rules at WP:NCTV have been hammered out over many years of discussion and experience. No case has been made for changing them. -- Orange Mike |  Talk  18:48, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose; disambiguated titles must be fully disambiguated. (This is contrary to my stance two years ago on the Psycho (film) discussion; I apparently have changed my mind.)  That said, I would support a move to the base name, as this is, I think, the clear primary topic.  We don't even have an article on the street!  Powers T 18:50, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose: 100 percent. There has no reason. ApprenticeFan  work 02:55, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Which one? Either proposal or both proposals? --George Ho (talk) 03:23, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Support - to Melrose Place, any other shows are based on this one, the street is of little notability.--MrBoire (talk) 05:52, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Another requested move

The result of the move request was: Move. Jafeluv (talk) 07:23, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Melrose Place (1992 TV series) → Melrose Place – We do not have an article on the street, so there is only one other topic by the name "Melrose Place". Of the two, I think it's obvious that the original is the primary topic, so per WP:TWODABS, we do not need the disambiguation page. Furthermore, it is my opinion that when there are only two options, the threshold for primacy can and should be much lower than normal, to increase the number of opportunities to avoid a disambiguation page. Powers T 00:43, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Support - Is there a real Melrose Place outside U.S.? Anyway, as an original proposer of the prior request, at first I was unsure about its primacy because there is Melrose Avenue. However, I don't think any other article than the 2009 revival has the same name as this series, and the revival one is too short-lived to make itself primary. Therefore, the old series is our best shot. --George Ho (talk) 07:47, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Support Pretty straightforward case. --BDD (talk) 16:17, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - The renamed article title (from Melrose Place to Melrose Place (1992 TV series) was moved by now-indefinitely blocked user (see log page). George Ho is right and the 1992 series is the original version. ApprenticeFan  work 02:43, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Your reversal at Alexander I of Russia

First, (as I hinted at in my summary) the marriage took place on October 9th 1793 (=September 28, according to the Russian calendar of that time) which by any sort of mathematics means that he was only 15 when he got married. That is also the way it is stated in the article on his wife. Second, we have a language problem perhaps caused by the fact that you do not know where Alexander was when his father got killed (or murdered). "He insisted that his father would not be killed" is quite different in meaning from "He insisted that his father should not be killed". Your sentence means that he was among the perpetrators but promised somebody (whomever) that his father will not be killed. In fact, he was not there - may have known what was about to happen - and some who believe that he knew, claim that he asked for his father not to be killed. Alexander was found by one of the conspirators while on his knees in front of his wife's bed, praying - and then told "Stop acting like a child and go and govern!" I agree that some elucidation may be in order - part of the text has been written by Russians who know all of this too well and suppose everybody else knows. I actually intend to edit this article exhaustively, based on the biography of Alexander I by the French historian Troyat (I recently bought the book). --Pan Gerwazy 12:00, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 17:09, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi, that would be true if Celebrations didn't indeed have their own article. They are a high-profile (in the UK and Europe at least) selection of miniatures, and Mars, Incorporated's highest grossing variety product. Rather than removing the sentence (again) and saying that you don't even know what Celebrations are, you could have just clicked on the link. That's what internal Wikilinks are provided for. If you want to discuss it further, do so without removing the sentence again. I'm sure you know what an edit war is. Bretonbanquet (talk) 10:26, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

West Valley Demonstration Project

The West Valley Demonstration Project is a nuclear waste remediation site in West Valley, New York in the U.S. state of New York. The project focuses on the cleanup and containment of radioactive waste left behind after the abandonment of a commercial nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in 1980. The project was created by an Act of Congress in 1980 and is directed to be a cooperative effort between the United States Department of Energy and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.

Despite over 30 years of cleanup efforts and billions of dollars having been spent at the site, the West Valley Demonstration Project property was described as "arguably Western New York's most toxic location" in 2013.

1965 to 1980: Commercial operations by Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc.
The State of New York acquired 3345 acres of land in the Town of Ashford, near West Valley, in 1961 with the intention of developing an atomic industrial area. The property was named the Western New York Nuclear Service Center and would eventually host a commercial spent nuclear fuel reprocessing plant and low-level radioactive waste disposal site that was operated by Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc.

Nuclear Fuel Services was a subsidiary of the W.R. Grace Company in 1963, when the Atomic Energy Commission granted the company the necessary permits to reprocess spent fuel at the West Valley site. The first shipments of spent fuel arrived at the site in 1965, and reprocessing began the next year. In 1969, Nuclear Fuel Services was acquired by Getty Oil.

The plant reprocessed spent reactor fuel at the site from 1966 to 1972. During this time period, the facility processed 1983.7 kg of plutonium and 625.7 metric ton of spent uranium. Using the PUREX process, the plant was able to recover 1926 kg of plutonium and 620 metric ton of uranium. Most of the recovered uranium was depleted or slightly enriched; only 0.9 metric ton was highly enriched.

The reprocessing of fuel also resulted in the accumulation of 660000 USgal of high-level radioactive waste in an underground storage tank. An additional 15 acres of the property was licensed by New York State for burial of low-level radioactive waste in 20 ft deep trenches. After reprocessing operations ceased in 1972, Nuclear Fuel Services continued to accept low-level radioactive waste for disposal at the site until it was discovered that contaminated water was leaking from the trenches. Nuclear Fuel Services was unable to obtain regulatory approval to remove and treat the contaminated water, and stopped accepting waste for burial in 1975. In total, approximately 2400000 ft3 of low-level waste was buried at the site.

Escalating regulation required plant modifications which were deemed uneconomic by Nuclear Fuel Services, who ceased all operations at the facility in 1976. After Nuclear Fuel Services' lease expired in 1980, the site and its accumulated waste became the responsibility of New York State.

The former plant remains the only privately owned nuclear fuel reprocessing center to have ever operated in the United States. Two additional private nuclear fuel reprocessing plants were constructed (one by General Electric in Morris, Illinois, and another by Allied General Nuclear Services in Barnwell, South Carolina), but were never permitted to operate. Other reprocessing plants in the United States have been operated by the U.S. Department of Energy rather than private companies.

1980 to present: U.S. Department of Energy's West Valley Demonstration Project
The West Valley Demonstration Project Act (Public Law 96-368) was passed by the United States Congress in 1980, and directed the United States Department of Energy to lead the task of solidifying and removing the accumulated nuclear waste present on the site, in addition to decontaminating and decommissioning the facility and surrounding property. The processes used to solidify and contain the site's nuclear waste were intended to demonstrate strategies that could be used at other cleanup sites.

On October 1, 1980, the U.S. Department of Energy entered into a cooperative agreement with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to determine an operational framework for cleanup activities at the site. The agreement specified that the USDOE would take the lead on the project and obtain exclusive control over the site's 175 acre high-security core area, while NYSERDA would represent New York State's interests in the project and manage the remainder of the site's property. It also stipulated that the U.S. Federal Government would pay for 90% of the project's costs, with New York State paying the remainder.

Site operations began in February 1982, after West Valley Nuclear Services Company, Inc. (then a subsidiary of Westinghouse Electric Corporation) was chosen by the USDOE as the primary contractor for work to be done at the West Valley Demonstration Project.

Charles Angas Hurst

Charles Angas Hurst AM DSc FAA (22 September 1923 – 19 October 2011 ) was an Australian mathematical physicist noted for his work in lattice models, quantum field theory, asymptotic expansions and Lie groups. He was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 2003, elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 1972, and awarded the Centenary Medal and an Hon DSc (Melb). His PhD was a seminal work on quantum field theory, developing asymptotic expansions for perturbation expansions. In 1952 Hurst represented Australia in the inaugural International Mathematical Union.

Hurst's work with Herbert Green on lattice problems and the Ising model led to the Free fermion field model, which contained all known properties of Fermions at the time of its publication. Hurst's work with Thirring (Thirring model) found the simplest non-linear field and is still used as a test model for perturbation theory.

The Nerve Agents

The Nerve Agents were an American punk rock band formed by Andy Outbreak and Eric Ozenne (ex-Redemption 87).

Their angry brand of music juxtaposed yelled, sometimes ranting vocals with distorted and often chorus laden chords, complex bass lines and fast-paced percussion. Their darkened style is reminiscent of Black Flag and The Damned.

The Nerve Agents were noted for their frenzied, chaotic, often violent live performances. It was not unusual for a fan or band member to require medical attention. Often on such occasions Eric Ozenne would halt performances, sometimes escorting the injured fan to the hospital. Other theatrical elements, such as costumes and the trademark eyeliner, were commonplace. On rare occasions a guest performer known only as the 'White Owl' (taking its name from the theme of the first full length) would run across the stage in a white mummy-like robe.

There are many rumors surrounding the band's demise. Andy Outbreak's involvement in The Distillers became a source of scheduling tension, as was the pending birth of Ozenne's daughter. The band played their last two shows on Sunday, December 30, 2001, at the Pound in San Francisco, sharing the bill with Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards.

Members of The Nerve Agents are now/or used to be in the bands White Fence, Said Radio, Darker My Love, The Fall, The Frisk, Hudson Criminal, Model American, Fury 66, The Distillers, Redemption 87, Pitch Black, Unit Pride, Shadowboxer, and FIVE.

Line-up

 * Sheric D. (Eric Ozenne) - vocals (currently lead vocals for Said Radio)
 * Timmy Stardust (Tim Presley) - guitar (currently lead vocals and guitar for Darker My Love and White Fence, and backing vocals for The Strange Boys)

User innovation

User innovation refers to innovation by intermediate users (e.g. user firms) or consumer users (individual end-users or user communities), rather than by suppliers (producers or manufacturers). This is a concept closely aligned to co-design and co-creation, and has been proven to result in more innovative solutions than traditional consultation methodologies.

Eric von Hippel and others  observed that many products and services are actually developed or at least refined, by users, at the site of implementation and use. These ideas are then moved back into the supply network. This is because products are developed to meet the widest possible need; when individual users face problems that the majority of consumers do not, they have no choice but to develop their own modifications to existing products, or entirely new products, to solve their issues. Often, user innovators will share their ideas with manufacturers in hopes of having them produce the product, a process called free revealing. However, user innovators also generate their own firms to commercialize their innovations and generate new markets, a process called "consumer-led market emergence." For example, research on how users innovated in multiple boardsports shows that some users capitalized on their innovations, founding firms in sports that became global markets.

Based on research on the evolution of Internet technologies and open source software Ilkka Tuomi further highlighted the point that users are fundamentally social. User innovation, therefore, is also socially and socio-technically distributed innovation. According to Tuomi, key uses are often unintended uses invented by user communities that reinterpret and reinvent the meaning of emerging technological opportunities.

The existence of user innovation, for example, by users of industrial robots, rather than the manufacturers of robots is a core part of the argument against the Linear Innovation Model, i.e. innovation comes from research and development, is then marketed and 'diffuses' to end-users. Instead innovation is a non-linear process involving innovations at all stages.

In 1986 Eric von Hippel introduced the lead user method that can be used to systematically learn about user innovation in order to apply it in new product development. In 2007 another specific type of user innovator, the creative consumer was introduced. These are consumers who adapt, modify, or transform a proprietary offering as opposed to creating completely new products.

User innovation has a number of degrees: innovation of use, innovation in services, innovation in configuration of technologies, and finally the innovation of novel technologies themselves. While most user innovation is concentrated in use and configuration of existing products and technologies, and is a normal part of long term innovation, new technologies that are easier for end-users to change and innovate with, and new channels of communication are making it much easier for user innovation to occur and have an impact.

Recent research has focused on Web-based forums that facilitate user (or customer) innovation - referred to as virtual customer environment, these forums help companies partner with their customers in various phases of product development as well as in other value creation activities. For example, Threadless, a T-shirt manufacturing company, relies on the contribution of online community members in the design process. The community includes a group of volunteer designers who submit designs and vote on the designs of others. In addition to free exposure, designers are provided monetary incentives including a $2,500 base award as well as a percentage of T-shirt sales. These incentives allow Threadless to encourage continual user contribution.

Surveyor of the King's Pictures

The office of the Surveyor of the King's/Queen's Pictures, in the Royal Collection Department of the Royal Household of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom, is responsible for the care and maintenance of the royal collection of pictures owned by the Sovereign in an official capacity – as distinct from those owned privately and displayed at Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle and elsewhere. The office has only been full-time since 1972. It now operates in a professional capacity with a staff of a dozen people.

Although the office dates from 1625, there has always been someone responsible for pictures in the Royal Household. Notable recent office-holders have included Sir Lionel Cust (1901–1927), Sir Kenneth Clark (1934–1944), Professor Anthony Blunt (1945–1972), one of the infamous Cambridge Five Soviet spies, and Sir Oliver Millar (1972–1988). The current surveyor is Anna Reynolds, MVO, who was appointed in December 2023. She is the first woman to hold the position.

The previous surveyor was Desmond Shawe-Taylor, who held the post from 2005 to 2020. The post of Surveyor of the King's Pictures was in abeyance until 3 December 2023.

Apartheid Museum

The Apartheid Museum is a museum illustrating apartheid and the 20th-century history of South Africa. The museum, part of the Gold Reef City complex in Johannesburg, was opened in November 2001.

At least five times a year, events are held at the museum to celebrate the end of apartheid and the start of multiracial democracy for the people of South Africa.

Exhibits
The Pillars of the Constitution is the first exhibit visitors see when visiting the Apartheid Museum. Located in the courtyard, it includes one pillar for each of the seven values that are enshrined in the South African Constitution: Democracy, Equality, Reconciliation, Diversity, Responsibility, Respect and Freedom.

Race Classification is both an entry point and exhibit. Apartheid was built on divisions by race: native, white, coloured, and Asian. Required identity documents indicated one's race, and these are on view in this exhibit. Visitors to the museum have just entered at this point, using one of two entrances, white and non-white, based on randomly generated entrance tickets. The actual items one sees in the exhibit is determined by which entry point one has had to use.

The next exhibit, which is outside on the way to the museum building, is Journeys. It includes large photos of the descendants of individuals who came to Johannesburg in the aftermath of the discovery of gold in 1886. There was a wide racial diversity amongst these individuals. Apartheid was designed to segregate individuals from different races. When walking through this exhibit, one encounters the backs of these individuals, as if they are walking in the same direction as the visitor is heading. By turning back once one has passed a photograph, it is possible to see the person from the front.

The Segregation exhibit provides background on the official policy of segregation that became a feature of the Union of South Africa, which was formed in 1910. Blacks and white women were not allowed to vote under this policy. Segregation laid the way for apartheid.
