Puerto Rican emerald

The Puerto Rican emerald (Riccordia maugaeus), or zumbadorcito de Puerto Rico in Spanish, is species of hummingbird in the "emeralds", tribe Trochilini of subfamily Trochilinae. It is endemic to Puerto Rico.

Taxonomy and systematics
The Puerto Rican emerald was formerly placed in the genus Chlorostilbon. Based on a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 and a 2017 publication, the North American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society, the International Ornithological Committee (IOC), and the Clements taxonomy moved it to the resurrected genus Riccordia. However, as of 2020 BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) retained it in Chlorostilbon.

Description
Male Puerto Rican emeralds are 8.5 to 9.5 cm long and females 7.5 to 8.5 cm. The species weighs between 3.4 and 3.8 g. Both sexes have a small white spot behind the eye. Males have a short straight bill with black-tipped red mandible and a black maxilla. Its forehead and crown are iridescent green; the rest of its upperparts are dark shining metallic green. Its gorget is iridescent bluish green and the rest of its underparts are shining green. The tail is forked and shining steely blue. The female's bill is all black. Its forehead and crown are dull dark green and the rest of the upperparts shining grass green. Its throat is light gray that darkens on the belly and undertail coverts. The tail is less forked than the male's. Its outermost pair of feathers have pale white bases, brown centers, and white ends. The next pair inward is steel blue with greenish white bases and a white spot at the end. The next two pairs are green on their body half and dull brown beyond. The central pair is shining green.

Distribution and habitat
The Puerto Rican emerald is found throughout its namesake island. It inhabits almost all the forested landscapes from coastal mangroves to montane forest on the summits including dry and moist forests, plantations, and secondary forest. It also occurs in gardens and urban areas.

Movement
The Puerto Rican emerald is sedentary.

Feeding
The Puerto Rican emerald forages for nectar from wide variety flowering plants and trees. It mostly feeds at low to medium levels of the forest. In addition to nectar, it feeds on small arthropods by gleaning from leaves and branches; its diet includes flies, Homoptera, Hymenoptera, and spiders.

Breeding
The Puerto Rican emerald's peak breeding season spans from February to May but some nesting occurs at any time of year. The nest is a small cup of dry plant fibers lined with softer material and covered with lichen. It is typically built in a low to medium-height shrub or tree. The female incubates the clutch of two eggs for 14 to 16 days; fledging occurs 20 to 22 days after hatch.

Vocalization
What is believed to be the Puerto Rican emerald's song is "a repeated twittering phrase of high-pitched descending notes followed by a series of ‘lisping’ notes on constant pitch 'tseereetseetseetsee-tslew-tslew-tslew-tslew-tslew'". It also makes "high-pitched 'tsik'" and "si..si..sik-sik...tsik.." calls.

Status
The IUCN has assessed the Puerto Rican emerald as being of Least Concern, though its population size and trend are not known. It is considered generally common throughout its large island and accepts human-made landscapes like plantations, gardens, and parks.

Spielberg, Styria

Spielberg (formerly: Spielberg bei Knittelfeld) is a city located in the Bezirk Murtal in Styria, Austria.

General
The city of Spielberg, with a population of about 5,000 inhabitants, is located north of the Mur in the east of Aichfeld, between the cities of Zeltweg and Knittelfeld. The urban area of Knittelfeld has grown together with part of the urban area of Spielberg. From 1986 to 2009 Spielberg was a Marktgemeinde (market town). On 1 October 2009 it became a “Stadtgemeinde” (city). Within the city limits, there are both urban and rural areas.

Structure
The city is made up of 9 Katastralgemeinden (cadastral communities). Pausendorf is the biggest Katastralgemeinde, with 1500 inhabitants. The Katastralgemeinde Spielberg is only a small part of the city, but it gives its name to the entire city.

 * Einhörn
 * Laing
 * Lind
 * Maßweg
 * Pausendorf
 * Sachendorf
 * Schönberg
 * Spielberg
 * Weyern

Politics
The SPÖ has been the dominant position of the municipality since 1960, when the rural municipality started to become urbanized. This was triggered when a number of industrial firms moved to the municipality, above all the Austria Antriebstechnik AG (ATB).

Landmarks
Spielberg is home to the Red Bull Ring (formerly known as A1-Ring and Österreichring). From 1970 until 1987 and from 1997 until 2003 the Grand Prix of Austria took place there. In 2014, it returned to the Formula 1 calendar. In 2020 the first 2 races of the delayed F1 season took place there: the Austrian GP and the Styrian GP. In 2021, following the postponement of the Turkish GP, a second race, the Styrian GP, was held one week before the Austrian GP.

 * In fairness, some 640 people managed it, one for each Constituency. In the Lib Dems' case, about 580 of them then lost. This is unverifiable owing to my anonymity, but I have stood for election for the same party (to a local council) and lost; they just rang me up and said "we're short of a candidate in this seat which we're gonna lose anyway, but want people to be able to vote for us. Fancy doing nothing at all, apart from signing on the dotted line?". So I did. And I lost, and remain non-notable. Parliament's not the same as a local council, but the selection process isn't quite as rigorous as it might be, epsecially in the unwinnable seats. -Splash 17:22, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Your edits to Ipswich
Why do you keep removing the comment regarding the Unitarian Meeting House ? -- Ratarsed 18:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

 * The comment I removed read (in the context of the Willis Faber building): "ironically standing right next to one of the oldest extant buildings in Ipswich, the Unitarian Meeting House, which is also Grade I listed".
 * I removed it because (a) there are many buildings in Ipswich older than the Unitarian Meeting House so it isn't "one of the oldest" in any very meaningful sense, and therefore (b) there's nothing particularly ironic about it either.
 * Incidentally, your edit summary of your later edit referred to the Ancient House being older, so I thought you had restored the Unitarian Meeting House comment by accident. Barnabypage 18:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Edit summary was because I misread your as "Unitarian meeting house is (by) far from oldest bldg in Ipswich, also general clean-up". Anyways, perhaps ironic isn't the right word, maybe "juxtaposed" or similar would be better; however, your edit does remove a link to the article on the Unitarian Meeting House, which is why I intentionally reinstated the link. For the record there are approximately 300 older buildings that are listed in Ipswich (hard to say for sure, as the date ranges on Images of England go 15 years after the build date). -- Ratarsed 20:19, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. Yes, I agree the Meeting House (not to mention the Ancient House) does deserve a mention. Perhaps the article would benefit from an overview architecture section like the article for Norwich (among many others) has. I'd be happy to work on this with you - if you don't get around to adding it I'm sure I will sooner or later!
 * Incidentally, the figure of 300 surprised me a bit, but I guess there's probably quite a lot of timber-frame lurking behind some later facades. Barnabypage 20:36, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Never underestimate the number of Norman churches... Of course, I seem to remember that Ipswich was granted its town charter a little over 400 years ago, and as such, there are a lot of Tudor, Elizabethan and Jacobean buildings leading up to the Stuart period of the meeting house. I think that a section (or even a whole article) on the architecture of Ipswich could certainly be interesting right up to the present day (having the most modern Grade I listed building, as well as the more progressive designs used by the volume builders on Ravenswood. Not got the time at the moment to start it right now, but will certainly try and do something "soon". -- Ratarsed 21:05, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, exactly - it was the churches that first came to mind, and then I realised that given so much visible C15-17 timber-frame exists, there must be a lot more hidden. My personal architectural interests are inclined to the (late) C18 and later, but I'm sure we can get at least some temporary content up in the next week or two. A swift paraphrase of Pevsner, if nothing else. Barnabypage 23:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Created a really stubby fragment at User:Ratarsed/Architecture of Ipswich -- feel free to add to this -- Ratarsed 11:58, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I've done a fair bit of research, and fleshed out User:Ratarsed/Architecture of Ipswich -- feel free to contribute to this; I'm not quite sure if it flows right, or if it's at risk of just turning into a history of Ipswich? -- Ratarsed 21:06, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Aside
Just wanted to say that I'd be more than happy to help out with Ipswich articles if you need anything. I've added a few photos to Portman Road and living not-too-far-away makes it easy for me to add to things, particularly image-wise. Let me know if there's anything I can help with. All the best. The Rambling Man 21:10, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Blair Witch talk
It's protocol to place new comments under that which was posted earlier, to preserve continutity of conversation. I think that if you were addressing your comments specifically to Jussen, you could have done so on his talk page; any comments posted in Discussion can be addressed by anyone. Preserving a chronological order makes the discussion easier to navigate. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  00:47, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmmm...it's not the practice I've observed on many, many talk pages, where comments are nested, making the pattern of comment-comment much clearer than if they were purely chronological. It's like threading on BBSes (he says, hoping there's a Wiki article on threading). But anyway, let's not let that distract us from the question at hand re Blair Witch Project. And - thanks for getting in touch about it. Barnabypage 00:53, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree that dupe posting is tedious but, as I had not watchlisted your page, I would have missed your comment. I have seen some of these pages where folk either forget or go crazy with the indents and where they post and whatnot. That can be extremely daunting (and a little intimidating) for the newer user, so a chronological order (or breakingup into specific sections) is not only easier to follow, but provides clear access for people to post new comments. Arcayne   (cast a spell)  01:01, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually you wouldn't, because I took care to mention it on your own Talk page for precisely that reason. But IKWYM! Barnabypage 01:12, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Help Needed - Grammar and Style Clean-up
Hi, I came across your user page, because of your user templates. You seem to be very interested in correct English grammar and in good style of writing. The article to affiliate marketing just failed the nomination as good article after a lot of work, because of style and grammar issues. I did a lot of the tweaking and cleaning, but English is my second language and my grammar and style are not flawless and certainly not enough to meet the standards of a good article. I tried to mobilize some editors at the WikiProject Business and Economics without success. I would really appreciate, if you might have a look at the article and could fix some of the grammar and style issues. The facts and references are already there, so you don't have to be knowledgeable about the subject of the article. Let me know, if you are interested to help. Thank you for your time and consideration. Cheers! --roy<sac> Talk! .oOo. 03:50, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Blair Witch edits
Regarding your post here and re-addition here, I think that, at best, the statement is misleading. With the synopsis as vague as it is (and yes, that will be addressed later), it would appear that Heather is apologizing to Justin Parr's victims as well. As per the specific conversation from the citation you offered (pertinent part in bold):
 * Heather: I just want to apologize to Mike's mom and Josh's mom and my mom and I'm sorry to everyone.  I was very naive.  (Looks away from camera scared)  I was very naive and very stupid and I shouldn't have put other people in danger for something that was all about me and my selfish motives.
 * I'm so sorry for everything that has happened because in spite of what Mike says now it is my fault. Because it was my project and I insisted on everything.  I insisted we weren't lost.  I insisted we keep going.  I insisted we walk south.  Everything had to be my way and this is where we've ended up.  And it's all because of me were here now hungry and cold and hunted.  I love you mom and dad.  I am so sorry.  It was never my intention to hurt any one and I hope that's clear.
 * (Begins to hyperventilate as mucus streams from her nostrils) I am so scared. What was that?  I'm scared to close my eyes and I'm scared to open them.  I'm going to die out here.  Every night we just wait for them to come.  (Breaks down and sobs) 1

I think a better way to write the caption would be:
 * Heather's oft-imitated taped apology.

This is succinct without rendering an opinion about whatever danger they are in. Since the fate of the three is left intentionally vague, we don't know what sort if any danger the characters were in. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  15:39, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree that the use of the world "children" could possibly lead a reader to deduce a reference to Parr's victims and that your alternative is less likely to be misconstrued. As to danger, I suppose one could argue that anyone lost in the woods for several days without much in the way of supplies is prima facie in danger, witches or no witches - but I really don't think this is a big enough deal to waste time arguing about it! So thanks for taking the time to come up with a suitable alternative. Barnabypage (talk) 15:56, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem - I am happy we could find a suitable alternative. :) - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  17:00, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Sunderland Echo
Hi Barnaby - Just a quick response to your question on this article's talk page. Nope, no archive talk - what you see is what you get! (And that was only added this week!) All the stuff relating to peer review, FA etc was kept in those places - nothing spilled onto the talk page at all. The peer review stuff is here: and this is the FA stuff:. As you will see, I didn't take it to GA, but went straight for FA. (Well, I did go to GA, but it spent so long hanging round on the waiting list that I decided to try FA instead, as the response there - criticism/positive feedback/help/guidance etc - is swift....If exhausting soemtimes!) Good luck with your newspaper articles. I found this article quite tricky, as there was no format to follow. Only one other newspaper is an FA, but that is a biggie in America, so not the same thing.-- Myosotis Scorpioides  18:12, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Piers Morgan
Why would you remove my addition to Piers' support for Arsenal FC? I backed all quotes up from an article he has attributed his name to in the Daily mail.

Please explain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pauloluisimo (talk • contribs) 16:38, 6 January 2009 (UTC) Thanks, that goes some way to explaining your actions.

Although, as I am completely new to Wikipedia editing perhaps you could explain why you wouldn't suggest that it needs expanding upon, as opposed to completely removing it? The fact that he made the mistake is in fact rather significant, as he continues to make reference as to how much of a true follower of Arsenal FC he is....

I'm sorry, but you in fact appear to be dealing in opinions where i have dealt in facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pauloluisimo (talk • contribs) 15:10, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello BarnabyPage. Thank you for the notice about the books, and heck, I don't give a hoot about breaking wiki guidelines. lol.

deleting wcpr reference
haha same could be said about you?

The reference adds to the article, shows the prestige of the paper by being included in the well regarded WCPR. If you feel it was misplaced in the introduction, then moving it to another part of the article wouldn't be an issue. Simple deleting the sentence has no benefit. (KSTP31 (talk) 20:29, 30 November 2009 (UTC))

 * Hi there and thanks for getting in touch with me on this issue. I'm afraid that (a) I don't agree that WCPR's prestige is sufficient to add perceptibly to a major national newspaper's, and (b) I worry that we would then find the articles clogged up with endless lists of other publications, databases, syndication services, digest services etc. etc. that also include or summarise each paper's content.

 * But since we're probably not going to agree on this, I suggest that we take the discussion to the Talk page on one of the articles in question, and apply whatever consensus is reached there to the whole lot of them. How does that sound to you? Barnabypage (talk) 20:39, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, you as well. I have only stated the WCPR is well regarded and this is due to its consumer base as well as other reasons. I understand your view and suggest to keep it as it is and if, as you say we start to see it being clogged with other 'publications' we can of course look to remove it or relocate it to another part of the article. Howver, I don't believe this will happen and therefore your concern shouldn't be a problem. (KSTP31 (talk) 21:00, 30 November 2009 (UTC))

 * Thanks for getting back to me. I don't think that really addresses my point (a), which is perhaps the more important one, so I'll tell you what - I'll take it to Talk on The Guardian (no particular reason for choosing that paper except that I know it's a reasonably well-edited article) and we'll see what happens. Barnabypage (talk) 21:06, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Ok thats fine, I only included it due to the relevance of it to the paper. If you look back it was you that claimed the WCPR had prestige? (KSTP31 (talk) 21:09, 30 November 2009 (UTC))

 * Uh, actually it wasn't - "shows the prestige of the paper by being included in the well regarded WCPR" was your phrase in the very first message of this discussion. But it doesn't really matter - let's not waste time arguing over who said what first! Barnabypage (talk) 21:15, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

 * haha exactly "prestige of the paper" ie The Guardian. Please check what you are saying before you run away with an idea, and I'm not the editor or related to the company I only subscribe to the service. Regards (KSTP31 (talk) 21:19, 30 November 2009 (UTC))

 * Your implication, at least as I read it, was that WCPR had prestige because it added to The Guardian's. Or to look at it the other way round, if WCPR was completely non-prestigious, how would it add to The Guardian's prestige? Anyway. what matters is not what you said or I said on this page, but what the consensus of editors is. Barnabypage (talk) 21:28, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Well I apologize if you misinterpreted what was written, now you have admitted I didn't say that maybe trying to claim that I said it would 'add' to the prestige is further superfluous and untrue as I said 'show' which if you research has a completly different meaning. This has been blown out of proportion and it was only meant to be a harmless addition to the article. I have therefore changed it as you wished due to your extreme reaction on the issue. You will find, however, this has been fairly trivial issue and something not to get too worried about. Regards and enjoy your evening (KSTP31 (talk) 21:38, 30 November 2009 (UTC))

ok thats fine, why do you insist that "you've spoken to the editor" when I've made it blatently clear that I am not that person? I don't understand your little reasons for this, but if I'm not allowed to question your lies then ok I understand. You being incorrect is something Ive become accustomed to.

Web Gallery of Art
Sorry for being late. I want add the following information in the article Peter Fendi:

"After the death of his father in 1814, Fendi was forced to leave the Akademie and become a clerk to earn his living, although he still received occasional lessons."

It is mentioned here. Since Web Gallery of Art is not reliable, I need to to use other source to back up this claim. --Defender of torch (talk) 02:53, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Hi again. I managed to do a little reading on Fendi today and could find nothing to substantiate the assertion that he left the academy prematurely, and in fact Norman suggests he left in 1813 not 1814 - so if his father died in 1814 the two events cannot have been effect and cause. I couldn't, however, establish exactly what he did do between 1813 and taking the job at the Imperial Gallery in 1818.

Clarets Chronicles
Thanks for the offer of adding citations to the Inglis book.

Listed building
Over the past year I have been playing Solomon and throwing out a number of anon editor's attempts to turn the listed building article in an illegible list. I have no specific problems with your addition of a castle to the list of GI monuments, and Warwick's a very nice one. But there are now 8 items in that list of GI buildings, and we did settle on 5. And at the top of the section it says very clearly: '<'!-- Please do not turn this into a list of your favourite buildings. Instead ensure that your favourite building includes the line Category:Grade I listed buildings. See Talk page for explanation. --'>' If Warwick stays then more editors will say "we have no other {insert favourite building} on the list". So I can I leave it to you take out some other less representative examples and whittle it back down to 5? Thanks Ephebi (talk) 15:51, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Barnaby Thanks very much for your kind message. I hope that the WikiLawyers will leave Ewan Christian well alone as I have spent considerable time and effort in getting it together. He is an architect that is very deserving of a much better press. I should know as I have spent the last twenty years studying his work, with the architectural history of the NPG and St Mark's in Leicester coming out of it. The work of 1896 is I would say a book rather than a pamphlet, which I have seen at the BL and also the copy at the British Architectural Library. I think it is well worth referring to as it has much information on EC's life and work, though it may not be always trustworthy. Good luck on getting back into Wikipedia! Best wishesGrahamrob (talk) 18:37, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Ewan Christian
Hi Barnaby

Thanks for your reply. The BL catalogue shows the 1896 work as having 103 pages but the confusion might be with the introduction by E.R. Charles which is given as vii. The catalogue lists Ewan Christian as the author which I think would be incorrect. It was really an anonymous publication, published privately by Cambridge. It seems likely that much of the information in it was provided by close colleagues and friends, particularly perhaps George H. Birch (1842-1904) who was assistant in EC's office from 1866, and that it was meant as a tribute to him or as a memorial - EC having died the year before. The 'Memoir' of 1911 in the RIBA Journal by J. Standen Adkins has a lot of similar material but does provide much additional information, including a list of works, and is a little more scholarlyGrahamrob (talk) 10:38, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Tehreek-e-Jafaria (Pakistan)

Tehreek-e-Jafaria Pakistan (TJP), formerly Tehreek Nifaz Fiqah-e-Jafaria Arif Hussaini/Sajid Naqvi Group (TNFJ Sajid Naqvi Group) was the Shia political party in Pakistan from 1979 to 2000. Belonging to the Ja'fari school of Islamic jurisprudence, TNFJ (Arif Hussaini Group) was founded in 1979 by Syed Arif Hussain Al Hussaini supported by Grand Ayatollah Muhammad Hussain Najafi Dhaku. Its creation coincided with the enforcement of controversial Islamic laws by then President of Pakistan, General Mohammad Zia-ul-Haq. At the same time, 1979 Iranian Revolution in Shi'a Iran added extra confidence and comfort in the movement.

In 1988, TJP under the leadership of Molana Sajid Naqvi contested in general elections but failed to win a single seat. After getting banned twice, TJP is working as Shia Ulema Council under the leadership of Allama Sajid Ali Naqvi.

Jafaria Students Organization Pakistan, founded in 1997, was the student wing of TJP.

Foundation
It was founded by a committee of Shia ulema, and Syed Muhammad Dehlavi of Karachi was elected its first president. After his demise, Mufti Jafar Hussain was elected its president. After Mufti Jafar Hussain's demise, the young Arif Hussain al-Hussaini was asked by senior ulema like Marja' Grand Ayatollah Muhammad Hussain Najafi and Safdar Hussain Najafi to accept the leadership. After Arif Hussain's assassination, Sajid Naqvi was elected the next president. Hassan Turabi was the head of party in Sindh province, like Taqi Naqvi heads the party in Punjab.

Deaths
After the death of Mufti Jafar Hussain TNFH split into two groups named TNFJ-Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi group and TNFJ-Arif Hussaini group respectively due to ideological differences between the two leaders. Arif Hussain Hussaini, a student of Ruhollah Khomeini who led the Iranian Revolution, was the group's leader. According to BBC News, the creation of TeJ

"coincided with the Shia revolution in Iran and enforcement of controversial Islamic laws by the military ruler of Pakistan, General Zia-ul-Haq. The revolution in predominantly Shia Iran around the same time gave an added boost to the organisation. Its leader, Arif Hussain Hussaini was a student of the leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution, Ruhollah Khomeini."

Later in 1988, Arif Hussain Hussaini changed the name of his group from TNFJ-Arif Hussaini group to Tehreek-e-Jafaria (TJP) while Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi's group retained the name of TNFJ and has been operating under the same name since. After demise of Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi, Allama Hussain Muqaddesi was elected as TNFJ Chief in October 2022. The TJP founder, Arif Hussain Hussaini was assassinated in 1988 by unknown attackers.

Arif Hussain Hussaini, the patron-in-chief of the TJP, was shot dead in Peshawar near his mosque/seminary while going to lead the morning prayer on August 5, 1988. Then T.J.P. was led by Hussaini's one of the foremost companions Syed Sajid Ali Naqvi.

On October 19, 2001, TJP leader Nazir Ahmed Abbas was shot and killed at his shop in the city of Vehari, located in the Punjab province.

Following the death of Zia-ul-Haq, support for the TJP fell, as Pakistani Shias went back to pre-Zia-ul-Haq political loyalties, with many no longer feeling under threat. Furthermore, the elections of moderate Benazir Bhutto also gave increased confidence to Shia Muslims and they were no longer under threat and the discrimination ended even though it still exist against the Pakistani Shias.

Sanctions
On January 12, 2002, the TJP was banned along with three terrorist organizations, by the government of Pakistan.

The TJP was banned twice by Pervez Musharraf's government and in January 2002, its leaders were arrested. The T.J.P. was banned again on November 5, 2011, while Pakistan's Shias experienced increasing attacks since 2005 by the Pakistani Taliban, Sipah-e-Sahaba, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Jundullah and Jaish-e-Mohammed,

Although TJP has been designated as a "terrorist organisation", Qazi Hussain Ahmad, a senior member of Pakistani Parliament and the leader of Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan's oldest Islamist party, says he banned groups have no ties with the militants. He notes that one organization is part of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, the major opposition alliance of religious parties, which also includes Ahmad's group.

Ideology
According to TJP, Islam is and was the basic ideology of Pakistan; by deviating this ideology a conspiracy was made to make Pakistan a sectarian state in the period of General Zia-ul-Haq, a dictator. At this stage, the formation of TNFJ was deemed necessary for the failure of this conspiracy.

The main objective of this organisation was to protect the rights of Shia Muslims of Pakistan and give them a voice in the Parliament of Pakistan. They do not advocate a Shia Islamic state and have cordial relations with Sunni organization including Sunni Ittehad Council, that is why they joined the coalition of religious political parties Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal that won 53 out of 272 elected members in legislative elections held on October 20, 2002.

Coalition
It was a part of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal coalition of Islamist political parties that won 11.3% of the popular vote and 53 out of 272 seats in the legislative elections held on October 20, 2002. In May 2008, it was reported that Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan's emir Qazi Hussain Ahmad was considered heading the six-party Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal. Qazi Hussain Ahmad said that he would consider rejoining the MMA after consulting with the executive council of his party and some other seniors. Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F)'s chief Fazl-ur-Rahman had tasked Sajid Naqvi of TJP with contacting Qazi Hussain Ahmad and bringing him round to rejoining the alliance.

Tehreek-e-Jafaria and the Pakistan Taliban became active in the area in mid-2007. The former Tehreek-e-Jafaria was founded by a local Afridi tribesman named Muneer Khan, while the Islamic Taliban was founded by Momin Afridi. The groups later merged and became part of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan. Both leaders were killed in a military operation in the area in 2008.

Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan

Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan (JUP) is an Islamist political party in Pakistan. It was founded in 1948 by leaders of All India Sunni Conference. The JUP exercised considerable political influence in Pakistani politics during the 1970s to 2003. Its students' wing Anjuman Talaba-e-Islam has a following in Sunni institutions across the country. The party is considered a moderate force in the country.

History
It was established on 28 March 1948 in Multan by the leaders of All India Sunni Conference to present Sunni Sufi representation in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. It had a major support base in Sindh and Punjab.

JUP supported Ayub Khan's regime during the 1965 presidential elections on the promises of getting a Shariah-based Pakistan.

In the 1970 elections, the JUP won seven seats in Sindh under the leadership of Maulana Ahmad Shah Noorani; the party did not join General Zia Ul Haq government due to Salafi-Saudi inclination of the Zia regime. The party was opposed to Zia's military rule for two reasons. First was its pro-democracy stand and second because of Zia's support of Deobandi-Wahhabi Islam promoted by Saudi Arabia.

Ideology
JUP was established for the implementation of the Quran and Sunnah in the newly formed Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The party advocated the establishment of Islamic system of Prophet's Sunnah (Nizam-e-Mustafa) Shariat Courts and passing of law of blasphemy and played a role in declaring Ahmadis as non-Muslims. In 1974 a bill was passed in the parliament to declare Ahmadis as non-Muslims through the efforts of JUP President Shah Ahmad Noorani. JUP through its leaders inserted the definition of Muslim and argued that the Finality of Prophethood to be included in this definition.

It opposed to the US-led attack in Afghanistan after 9/11 but supported combating the Taliban and hardcore extremist ideologies in the Swat region of Pakistan.

Present
The party was mostly active from 1970s to 2003 as independent political party and having a role in mainstream politics and significance as well. Clashes over party decisions have divided the JUP into factions, and since 1986 the JUP has lost much of its support. The two main factions are headed by Shah Ahmad Noorani and Abdus Sattar Niazi. After the death of Noorani, one faction is led by Shah Owais Noorani, son of former president late Shah Ahmed Noorani, and the other by Sahibzada Abul Khair Muhammad Zubair, a former MNA of Hyderabad.

On 20 September 2020, JUP founded Pakistan Democratic Movement along with ten other parties. On 20 September 2020, JAH's Ameer Sajid Mir attended the All Parties Conference (APC). At the APC, eleven parties started the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) which was made to remove military establishment of Pakistan from politics. JUP also came for PDM's public gatherings and power-shows.

Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (جمیعت علماءِ اسلام, abbreviated as JUI, translated as Assembly of Islamic Clergy) is a Deobandi Sunni Muslim organization that was founded on 26 October 1945 by Shabbir Ahmad Usmani as a pro-Pakistan offshoot of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind (JUH). It has run candidates for office in Pakistani provincial and national elections, and splintered into several groups in 1980, 2007, and 2020.

In March 2019, after the decline of a competing faction JUI-S, the Election Commission of Pakistan reportedly allowed Moulana Fazal-ur-Rehman to have his JUI-F party use the old name of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam with no added letter F.

Background
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (jui-F) is a Deobandi organization, part of the Deobandi movement. The JUI formed when members broke from the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind in 1945 after that organization against the Muslim League's lobby for a separate Pakistan the Splinter member's formed the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam as a breakaway faction of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind and backed the Muslim League's idea of separate muslim nation, The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam pledge allegiance to Muhammad Ali Jinnah and announce openly support to Pakistan movement under the leadership of Shabbir Ahmad Usmani, Who was the Deobandi Islamic scholar he was the one of the founding members of Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi and a former member of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind In 1944, he became a member of the Muslim League who supported the creation of Pakistan.

The original Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind was formed in British India in 1919. After the death of Shabbir Ahmad Usmani in 1949, his close associate Zafar Ahmad Usmani replaced him as head or Amir of JUH. Then Mufti Mahmud became Amir of this party in 1962 and remained its head until his death in 1980.

After the death of Mufti Mahmud, the group was further divided during Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq regime, namely Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (S) supporting Jihadism and a totalitarian state whereas Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) supporting the movement for restoration of democracy in Pakistan. In Pakistan, the JUI was active in the anti-Ahmadiyya riots in 1953 and 1974 and anti-Shia agitations. Part of the JUI's agenda has also been to establish a "pure" Islam in Pakistan. In particular, the JUI has sought to eliminate the worship of saints and other un-Islamic practices.

Factions

 * Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Bangladesh – headed by Zia Uddin, was founded in 1972 following the Bangladesh War of Independence.

Following the death of Mufti Mehmood Ahmed in 1980 JUI split in two: A faction known as JUI Nazryati split from JUI-F in 2007 and merged back again in 2016.
 * Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) – headed by Fazal-ur-Rehman JUI-F is almost entirely based in southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and northern Balochistan, which are mostly inhabited by Pashtuns. The assassination of the head of splinter faction (JUI-S) in 2018 led to the diminishing of that faction, and to Moulana Fazal-ur-Rehman being successful in pleading before Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to get his JUI-F faction renamed as JUI in March 2019.  As of 2021 (at least) it was "the biggest religio-political party" in Pakistan, with "proven street power", and is still commonly referred to as JUI (F) despite being  registered with the Election Commission of Pakistan as simply JUI.
 * Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (S) – headed by Hamid Ul Haq Haqqani split with JUI (F) in 1980 and supports Jihadism and a totalitarian state and also Zia's regime is of regional significance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but has no representation on the national level. Sami-ul-Haq was assassinated in 2018 and his son, Maulana Hamid-ul-Haq Haqqani became its chief,   but the group reportedly has much less support now.
 * Jamiat Ulama-e-Islam Nazryati – headed by Maulvi Asmatullah.  JUI-N was open in its support for the Afghan Taliban and Al Qaeda, but  suffered a severe defeat in the 2013 general election.
 * Rabita Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam – headed by Muhammad Khan Sherani was established in December 2020 as a breakway faction of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) (JUI-F) over rifts with Fazal-ur-Rehman, The JUI Pakistan declared alliance with Imran Khan and his party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, JUI Pakistan also supports Afghan Taliban led government in Afghanistan.

Saint Maurus

Maurus (Maur; Mauro) (512–584) was the first disciple of Benedict of Nursia. He is mentioned in Gregory the Great's biography of the latter as the first oblate, offered to the monastery by his noble Roman parents as a young boy to be brought up in the monastic life.

Four stories involving Maurus recounted by Gregory formed a pattern for the ideal formation of a Benedictine monk. The most famous of these involved Maurus's rescue of Placidus, a younger boy offered to Benedict at the same time as Maurus. The incident has been reproduced in many medieval and Renaissance paintings.

Maurus is venerated on January 15 in the 2001 Roman Martyrology and on the same date along with Placid in the Proper Masses for the Use of the Benedictine Confederation.

Legendary life of Saint Maurus
A long Life of St. Maurus appeared in the late 9th century, supposedly composed by one of Maurus's 6th-century contemporaries. According to this account, the bishop of Le Mans, in western France, sent a delegation asking Benedict for a group of monks to travel from Benedict's new abbey of Monte Cassino to establish monastic life in France according to the Rule of St. Benedict. The Life recounts the long journey of Maurus and his companions from Italy to France, accompanied by many adventures and miracles as Maurus is transformed from the youthful disciple of Benedict into a powerful, miracle-working holy man in his own right. According to this account, after the great pilgrimage to Francia, Maurus founded Glanfeuil Abbey as the first Benedictine monastery in Gaul. It was located on the south bank of the Loire river, a few miles east of Angers. The nave of its thirteenth-century church and some vineyards remain today (according to tradition, the chenin grape was first cultivated at this monastery.)

Scholars such as Hippolyte Delehaye believe that this Life of Maurus is a forgery by the late-9th-century abbot of Glanfeuil, Odo. It was composed, as were many such saints' lives in Carolingian France, to popularize local saints' cults. The bones of Maurus were "discovered" at Glanfeuil by one of Odo's immediate predecessors, Gauzlin, in 845. Gauzlin likely invented or at least strongly promoted the cult of Benedict's disciple, taking advantage of Glanfeuil's proximity to two famous and prosperous Benedictine culture centers of the Loire region: the cult of Benedict's bones at Fleury and that of Scholastica's relics at Le Mans.

Benedictine tradition
Maurus was born c. 510, the son of Equitius, a Roman nobleman. At the age of about twelve, Maurus was entrusted to the care of Benedict at Subiaco to be educated. Gregory the Great in the Dialogues recounts a tale wherein the young oblate Placidus was sent to fetch water from the lake and was carried away by the current. Realizing this, Benedict sent Maurus to rescue the boy. Hurrying to reach Placidus, Maurus ran out upon the water. After bringing Placidus back to shore, Maurus attributed the miracle to the prayers of Benedict; the abbot, to his disciple's obedience.

Maurus was ordained a deacon, and subsequently Benedict, prior to leaving for Monte Cassino, appointed him coadjutor at Subiaco. During his tenure, various miraculous cures were attributed to his prayers. Around 528, Benedict summoned Maurus to join him at Monte Cassino.

Around 543, Innocentius, the Bishop of Mans, sent his vicar, Adenard, to Monte Cassino to request Benedict to send some monks to Gaul. Maurus was dispatched and, during the journey, obtained a number of cures for the sick and injured encountered along the way. Through the generosity of King Theudebert, he founded Glanfeuil Abbey, which he governed for many years. He resigned the abbacy in 581 to spend the remainder of his life in solitude and prayer. The abbey of Glanfeuil, was later called St. Maur-sur-Loire. Maurus died at Glanfeuil Abbey 15 January 584.

Veneration
Maurus was originally buried in the abbey church at Glanfeuil. When, in 868, Odo and the monks of Glanfeuil were obliged to flee to Paris in the face of Vikings marauding along the Loire, the remains of Maurus were translated to the abbey of Saint-Pierre-des-Fossés, later renamed Saint-Maur-des-Fossés. In 1750 the relics were relocated to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, where they remained until dispersed by a Parisian mob during the French Revolution. Maurus is still venerated by Benedictine congregations today, many monks adopting his name and dedicating monasteries to his patronage.

The cult of Maurus slowly spread to monasteries throughout France and by the 11th century had been adopted by Monte Cassino in Italy, along with a revived cult of Placidus. By the late Middle Ages, the cult of Maurus, often associated with that of Placidus, had spread to all Benedictine monasteries. Maurus is venerated even as far as in India, where he is highly honoured in certain areas of the southern state of Kerala. He is the patron of charcoalburners and coppersmiths.

The Blessing of Saint Maur is customarily bestowed on the sick with a relic of the true Cross, in hopes of assisting to restore their health. Since it is often impossible to have a relic of the True Cross, in 1959, the Sacred Congregation of Rites granted permission to use the medal of St. Benedict in place of the relic of the True Cross to confer the Blessing.

The Congregation of St. Maur took its name from him. The surname "Seymour" is derived from Saint Maur.

Iconography
In art, he is depicted as a young man in the garb of a monk, usually holding an abbot's cross or sometimes with a spade (an allusion to the monastery of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, literally "Saint Maurus of the Ditches"). Another of Maurus' attributes is a crutch, in reference to his patronage of cripples. He was invoked especially against fever, and also against rheumatism, epilepsy, and gout. He is also sometimes depicted with a scale, a reference to the implement used to measure a monk's daily ration of bread, given to him by Benedict when he left Montecassino for France. The monks of Fossés near Paris (whence the community of Glanfeuil had fled from the Vikings in 868) exhibited this implement throughout the Middle Ages.

Mill Street Brewery

Mill Street Brewery is a brewery in Toronto, Ontario, Canada that is a part of Anheuser–Busch InBev and named after Mill Street where it is located. During its first decade of operation, as an independent brewer, Mill Street won several awards including Golden Tap Awards for Best Toronto Microbrewery ('04-'08) and Best Toronto Beer (for Tankhouse Ale: '04-'07), and was named "Canadian Brewery of the Year" at the Canadian Brewing Awards in 2007, 2008, and 2009. It was purchased in 2015 by Canadian brewer Labatt Brewing Company, which in turn is owned by the global brewing giant Anheuser–Busch InBev.

History
The brewery was founded in December 2002 in Toronto by Steve Abrams, Jeff Cooper and Michael Duggan. The brewery was named after its original location at 55 Mill Street in the historic Distillery District, the former industrial complex occupied by spirits maker Gooderham and Worts. In early 2006, all large-scale brewing was moved to a bigger facility in Scarborough, Ontario, and the Distillery District location reopened in October, 2006 as a brewpub. The brewpub features 14 Mill Street beers on draught, including seasonal and other special/one-off releases. In 2007, co-founder Michael Duggan felt the company was diverging from its original vision, and left to start his own brewery.

In 2011, the company leased a historic grist mill building adjacent to the Chaudière Falls in Ottawa and converted it into a brewpub. The building is owned by the National Capital Commission and most recently housed The Mill (Old Mill Restaurant), a restaurant that closed in 2007 and a 140-year-old former grist mill. Also in 2011, with the opening of a pub in Terminal 1 of Toronto Pearson International Airport, Mill Street became the first craft brewer to open a bar/restaurant in a major Canadian airport.

In spring 2013, Mill Street expanded their Distillery District operation and added a distillery that distills schnapps from beer.

In 2015, Mill Street was purchased by Labatt, which is itself owned by brewing giant Anheuser-Busch InBev. As part of the purchase agreement, Labatt agreed to invest $10 million into brewing operations to help expand into Quebec. Due to the takeover, the Ontario Craft Brewers no longer considered Mill St. to be an independent craft brewer and removed Mill St. from its membership.

Norris Cole (Coronation Street)

Norris Cole was a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street, played by Malcolm Hebden. He made his first screen appearance during the episode broadcast on 11 March 1994. Hebden had previously played the role of Carlos, Mavis Riley's (Thelma Barlow) Spanish boyfriend, in one episode in 1974. Norris appeared on a recurring basis, until he was written out in April 1997 by Brian Park. However, two years later; the character was reintroduced on a regular basis. Hebden continued to appear on the soap until December 2017 after suffering a heart attack. Following his recovery, he made several guest returns, before his retirement from acting in January 2021 due to his health. The character was killed off-screen on 15 September 2021.

Storylines
Derek Wilton (Peter Baldwin) is surprised when Norris turns up; the man who gave him a lift home from the motorway service station when he missed the coach from London. He explains he's taken Derek's advice, left his wife and has come to stay. Mavis Wilton (Thelma Barlow) is put out as he keeps calling Derek "Dirk". Mavis doesn't want to throw Norris out as he might do Derek's morale some good. Derek tells Mavis that he's sure Norris will help him in his career.

Norris develops a reputation as a fusspot and a busybody, but his inquisitive nature sometimes works to advantage, as when he guessed that serial killer Richard Hillman (Brian Capron) was after Emily Bishop's (Eileen Derbyshire) money and wanted her dead. Only he and Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) realised Richard's true nature, but no one believed them, and it was not until later that the full story emerged.

Rita Sullivan (Barbara Knox) employs Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan) to work at The Kabin, because Norris has back problems but Norris is unhappy about this. Later that month, Emily discovers ladies underwear in a bin bag of Norris's. Instantly suspicious, Tina and Rita confront Norris and ask if he is a transvestite. He explains that he had won the underwear in a competition and that he has an addiction to competitions. Norris' friend, Mary Taylor (Patti Clare), arrives on the Street; Mary was introduced for this specific storyline as she shares Norris' obsession with entering competitions. Norris initially resents Mary, as she often beats him in competitions, but they quickly become close, and Mary offers Norris a ticket she has won for a Cliff Richard concert. Norris' fellow lodger, Jed Stone (Kenneth Cope), enjoys flirting with Mary but she only has eyes for Norris. When Mary and Norris win a motor home, Norris is pleased, but begins to be concerned about how far Mary wants to take their relationship.

When Mary's mother dies, she is able to spend more time with Norris, but he remains unsure about their relationship. She then invites him to accompany her on a world cruise, paid for with her inheritance. Norris agrees but is nervous and is shocked by Rita's engagement to Colin Grimshaw (Edward de Souza), and the two share a poignant moment in The Rovers. Genuinely wishing each other well, it is clear that Norris still harbours thoughts of what might have been. He is a great support to Rita when she later calls off the engagement after discovering that Colin fathered a child with a fourteen-year-old girl.

Norris' half-brother, Ramsay Clegg (Andrew Sachs), arrives and hopes to make amends with Norris, who refuses to speak to him. Norris blames Ramsay for their mother's death, stating that the shock of his reappearance in her life caused her demise. Despite Ramsay's best efforts at a reconciliation, Norris refuses to see him as anything other than an illegitimate half-brother and Ramsay eventually returns to Australia. Norris is left reeling at the news that Ramsay died on the flight; he had an incurable brain tumour, which he never told Norris about. Some of Ramsay's possessions are left to Norris and amongst them is a letter written by their mother, who cruelly rejected Ramsay. Norris is left devastated that he had blamed Ramsay all along. After Ramsay's death, Rita decides to sell up The Kabin. When Norris receives £172,000 from Ramsay's will, he buys The Kabin from Rita.

When Norris shows signs of tiredness, Mary suggests that she does some work in the Kabin so he can take a break. She enters a competition for them to win a week at a cottage in the countryside and wins, persuading Norris to come with her. Norris realises that Mary is trying to ensure that he cannot escape and even hears Mary mention the idea of them getting married; a horrific thought for Norris. She then breaks his glasses, leaving him more or less housebound, as his eyesight is quite poor. He attempts to escape from the cottage but Mary tracks him down. Eventually, he contacts the police telling them that Mary is holding him captive. No charges are brought against her, and Norris subsequently makes up with her.

Norris is not pleased when Emily allows Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) and her daughter Amy (Elle Mulvaney) to live with them. When Tracy offers to clean the house for Emily, Norris puts a lock on his bedroom door so that Tracy cannot get into his room. Tracy locks Norris in his room as a joke, and he is annoyed when Amy spills paint on his shoes and tells Emily that he wants Tracy to move out. Emily agrees after Tracy ruins Ernest Bishop's (Stephen Hancock) old dancing shoes, thinking that they belonged to Norris.

Norris becomes supportive to Mary after finding out she was raped in her teenage years and conceived a son, whom her mother forced her to give up. Norris and several residents help Mary find her son Jude Appleton (Paddy Wallace), who turns up to visit her. Mary wants to make contact with Jude again, so her and Norris decide to get married and invite Jude and his wife, Angie (Victoria Ekanoye) and their baby son, George (Romeo Cheetham-Karcz), to the wedding. Norris goes through with the marriage to Mary although Jude and Angie find out they only did it to see them, and the pair of them decide to remain.

Norris leaves to stay with Emily in Edinburgh following her return from volunteering with her nephew Spider in Peru He sells The Kabin to Brian Packham (Peter Gunn) and Cathy Matthews (Melanie Hill), to the fury of Rita. On 7 June 2019, after a final drink at the Rovers with his friends, Norris leaves Coronation Street for Scotland with Emily's niece Freda Burgess. As the taxi drives away, Norris reminisces about his time on the street and says he will miss it and all the people on it. In 2020, Norris and Freda move into Stillwaters, a gated retirement community and are joined by Ken Barlow (William Roache) and Claudia Colby (Rula Lenska) for a short time. The following year, Norris makes contact with Rita and Ken via text message with an important announcement; However, when Ken calls Norris, a Paramedic answers and tells him Norris is being rushed to hospital following a suspected stroke. Ken, Rita and Mary arrive at the hospital, only to be told by Freda that Norris has died. Norris’ funeral took place on 24 September 2021.

Casting
Auditions were held for the part of Norris, with actor Malcolm Hebden going on to secure the role. After leaving the series in 1997, Hebden returned to filming with the series in 1999 and has remained on the show permanently until 2017. In 2009, it was noted that the character of Norris has become one of the show's most recognisable characters. Norris was written out along with several other characters as part of a large cast cull in 1997. However, the character was reintroduced two years later in 1999, on a more regular basis than previously. Hebden has said he is surprised by Norris having a fanbase, he said: "Norris is a very popular character in general though, and he's also very popular with children, which surprises me. I would have thought he'd get on our nerves, but he doesn't." He went on to say: "For some unknown reason, Norris is immensely popular with children, though I never understand why. Is he the granddad they've always wanted to poke fun at? He's always wrong, but most of my letters are from young people, which is lovely. I think they feel safe with him because he's a loser!".

Mary Taylor
In May 2009, it was announced that Patti Clare, who plays Mary Taylor, had been written out of the soap. A spokesperson for Coronation Street said: "The affected actors were all involved in storylines that were due to run for a finite time. If every new character stayed in the show, the Street would be a little crowded to say the least." It was then rumored that Clare would be returning; Hebden revealed these rumours were true. Hebden praised Mary and Norris, he said: "I think when Patti and I get together it's comedy all the way. We love working together which is a good start for comedy. Oddly enough, you can play a love relationship with someone you hate - I've done it - but comedy you can't do. So I love her to death and it helps with the comedy." Hebden also revealed that Mary should stay in the soap for good. In September 2009, it was announced Clare was to reprise her role as Mary. A spokesperson confirmed: "Mary will be back to rekindle her relationship with Norris." On 18 February 2010, it was announced that Norris would be held captive by Mary in a Misery-style storyline, speaking of the storyline a Coronation Street source told The Mirror: "Mary convinces herself they are reincarnations of Heathcliffe and Cathy and keeps trying to share his bed. Norris escapes to a phone box. When Mary arrives he tries to run and hide but falls and sprains his ankle. Mary refuses to take him to hospital and returns him to the cottage telling him, 'The more helpless you are the stronger I get'.

Ramsay Clegg
On 5 January 2009, it was announced that former Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs had been cast in Coronation Street to play Norris's half-brother, Ramsay Clegg. Sachs said that he had foreseen playing Ramsay five years before: "Myself and my wife had dreamt up a storyline where I played Norris's brother. We thought it would be great fun if a brother every bit as annoying as Norris turned up and the pair of them wound everyone up." Sachs also said that he nearly turned down the role "because I was too scared. I said to my wife that I didn't think I could do it. Apparently there is very little rehearsal time and I said I wasn't sure I liked the part anyway." Asked by Digital Spy "What's it been like working with Andrew Sachs for the past few months?", Malcolm Hebden replied: ""It was suggested two or three years ago that Andrew Sachs wanted to be my brother and because we had a change of perhaps two producers in that time, it just got lost in the hundreds of storylines we have. I was talking to our new producer Kim Crowther and said I thought it was a great shame we'd never picked up the Andrew Sachs stuff and she knew nothing of it. She thought it was a great idea and she made it happen. Andrew was very happy to do it." He also went on to say: "I had met Andrew once before and he expressed how keen he was to do it. We got on terribly well. I think it took him a little while to get used to my sense of humour but he did by the time he left! For me, the storyline kicks in once he's dead - that sounds awful - but I was just being dismissive and blocking Ramsay for the first part of the story. I just didn't want anything to do with him. Then Ramsay goes back to Australia and dies on the aeroplane but the fallout is enormous - not just for Norris, but particularly for Emily. She'd become quite fond of Ramsay. He's a civilised man and quite a charming character, whereas Norris isn't. Therefore, I'm going to be terribly unpopular for a little while until Norris realises that he was wrong."

Departure and returns
On 23 January 2018, it was reported that Hebden would not be seen onscreen for a short period after last appearing on screen in early December 2017. On 5 July 2018, Hebden revealed that he was recovering from a heart attack and had spent most of the previous December in an induced coma. In October 2018, while appearing on This Morning, Patti Clare who plays Mary Taylor teased a possible return for Norris the following year. On 26 November 2018, Coronation Street officially confirmed Hebden's return as Norris, although Hebden won't be back on screen until May 2019, the ITV soap told Digital Spy that everyone is looking forward to his return. His return was described as being like a cameo, and the character will leave again, although the role will be left open for the actor to return. Hebden departed on 7 June 2019, but returned again for Ken Barlow's (William Roache) 80th birthday celebrations on 9 October 2019.

Norris returned briefly two months later during the episode that aired on 9 December 2019, and in 2020, he returned for a few stints before departing on 24 June, his final appearance. In January 2021, Hebden announced that he had retired the previous year, and stated that he will not be returning to Coronation Street. He stated that his "mind was willing" to return, but that acting took a physical strain on his body. It was also confirmed that Norris will still be referenced in scripts, and that his onscreen absence will be explained through Norris living at Stillwaters retirement home. In August 2021, it was announced that the character of Norris would be killed off and an on-screen funeral held.

In other media
A trailer for promotion of the Coronation Street website on ITV, which was released in July 2009 to air on television, portrays Norris as James Bond, using high-tech devices to spy on many of his neighbours, in reference to his character's curiosity to know everyone's business in the street.

Reception
Malcolm Hebden was nominated for "Best Comedy Performance" for his portrayal of Norris at The British Soap Awards 2002. Hebden was also nominated for "Funniest Performance" at the 2010 Inside Soap Awards.
