Jacob Cats

Jacob Cats (10 November 1577 – 12 September 1660) was a Dutch poet, humorist, jurist and politician. He is most famous for his emblem books.

Early years
Jacob Cats was born on 10 November 1577 in Brouwershaven as son of Adriaen Cornelisz. Cats and Leenken Jacob Jansdr. Breyde. Having lost his mother at an early age, he and his three brothers were adopted by his aunt Anna Breyde, sister of his mother and his uncle Doen Leenaerts. Cats was sent to school in Breda. He then studied law in Rotterdam and Paris, and, returning to Holland, he settled in The Hague, where he began to practice as a lawyer. His pleading in defense of a person accused of witchcraft brought him many clients and some reputation. He had a serious engagement about this time, which was broken off on the very eve of marriage by his catching a tertian fever (a form of malaria) which defied all attempts at cure for some two years. For medical advice and change of air Cats went to England, where he consulted the highest authorities in vain. He returned to Zeeland to die, but was cured mysteriously with the powder of a travelling doctor (later sources claim he was a quack). He married on 26 April 1605 a lady of some wealth, Elisabeth van Valckenburg from Antwerp, and thenceforward lived at Grijpskerke in Zeeland, where he devoted himself to farming and poetry.

Diplomatic career
In 1621, on the expiration of the twelve-year truce with Spain, the breaking of the dykes drove him from his farm. He was made pensionary (stipendiary magistrate) of Middelburg; and two years afterwards of Dordrecht. In 1627 Cats came to England on a mission to Charles I, who made him a knight. In 1636 he was made Grand Pensionary of Holland, and in 1648 keeper of the great seal; in 1651 he resigned his offices. Cats held this office for 15 years, but without putting his stamp on it. Cats turned out to be a rather colorless statesman. During his tenure, Andries Bicker and his cousin Cornelis de Graeff of Amsterdam took over the leadership of the republican-leaning Dutch regents. In 1657 he was sent a second time to England on what proved to be an unsuccessful mission to Oliver Cromwell.

Poetry
Cats retired to the seclusion of his palatial villa "Sorghvliet" ("Fly From Worry"), which was surrounded by a vast and sumptuous formal garden; the garden (now a park) became internationally famous and featured in 17th-century collections of engravings of famous European gardens. (Located near the Hague, and now known as "Catshuis", the house has survived and is now the official residence of the Dutch Prime Minister). Here he lived from this time until his death, occupied in the composition of his autobiography (Eighty-two Years of My Life, first printed at Leiden in 1734) and of his poems. He became famous in his own lifetime from his moralistic Emblem books, most notably Sinne en Minnebeelden, for which Adrian van der Venne cut the plates. He died on 12 September 1660, and was buried by torchlight, and with great ceremony, in the Kloosterkerk at the Hague. He is still spoken of as "Father Cats" by his countrymen.

Cats was contemporary with Hooft and Vondel and other distinguished Dutch writers in the golden age of Dutch literature, but his Orangist and Calvinistic opinions separated him from the liberal school of Amsterdam poets. He was, however, intimate with Constantijn Huygens, whose political opinions were more nearly in agreement with his own. Although hardly known outside of Holland, among his own people for nearly two centuries he enjoyed an enormous popularity – the complete collection of his poems is said to have sold around 50,000 copies, and was reputedly the only book, other than the Bible, to be found in many Dutch homes. His diffuseness and the antiquated character of his matter and diction, have, however, come to be regarded as difficulties in the way of study, and he is more renowned than read. A statue to him was erected at Brouwershaven in 1829.

Works
See Jacob Cats, Alle de wercken, so ouden als nieuwe (complete works, old and new), published by Jan Jacobsz. Schipper, Amsterdam 1655, or: Jacob Cats, Complete works (1790–1800, 19 vols.), later editions by van Vloten (Zwolle, 1858–1866; and at Schiedam, 1869–1870): Pigott, Moral Emblems, with Aphorisms, etc., from Jacob Cats (1860); and P. C. Witsen Geijsbeek, Het Leven en de Verdiensten van Jacob Cats (1829). Southey has a very complimentary reference to Cats in his Epistle to Allan Cunningham.

His work Houwelick features the garden of his neighbour Hortensia del Prado.

 * Selfstryt (1620)
 * Houwelick (1625)

 * Spiegel van den ouden en nieuwen Tyt (1632)
 * Ouderdom, Buytenleven en Hofgedachten op Sorgvliet (1664)
 * Gedachten op slapelooze nachten (1661)

Legacy
Cats' moralistic poems were told and retold like nursery rhymes over several generations. Even today many of his coined phrases are still colloquialisms in everyday Dutch.

Many of Cats' moral poems were set to music. A selection of these, Klagende Maeghden en andere liederen, was recorded in 2008 by the Utrecht ensemble Camerata Trajectina.

A copper statue of him is displayed in the market of his birth town Brouwershaven, the original sandstone one was removed due to damage and is on display in the town's church.

The Hunter (Blondie album)

The Hunter is the sixth studio album by American rock band Blondie, released on May 24, 1982, by Chrysalis Records. It was Blondie's last album of new material until 1999's No Exit. It was recorded between December 1981 and February 1982.

Background
The Hunter, as stated in the press release, is loosely a concept album based on the theme of "searching, hunting, or pursuing one's own Mt. Everest." Tracks on the album include Jimmy Destri's Motown pastiche "Danceway", while "Dragonfly" has a science-fiction theme to its lyrics about a race in space. "The Beast" deals with lead singer Debbie Harry's experiences of becoming a public figure: "I am the centre of attraction, by staying off the streets". "English Boys" is Harry and Chris Stein's melancholy tribute to "those English boys who had long hair", the Beatles, recorded the year after John Lennon's assassination in New York City, describing the innocence and idealism of the 1960s. "War Child" references military conflicts in Cambodia and the Middle East. The album concludes with a cover version of Smokey Robinson's "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game", originally recorded by the Marvelettes in 1967.

The song "For Your Eyes Only" was originally written for the 1981 James Bond film of the same name. The producers of the film, however, favored a track composed by Bill Conti and Michael Leeson and asked Blondie to record that song instead. When Blondie declined, the Conti/Leeson song was passed on to Sheena Easton. Blondie opted to release their song (written by Harry and Stein) on The Hunter.

Two singles were released from the album, "Island of Lost Souls" and "War Child" (the latter of which was also released as a 12″ extended version). "Danceaway" was planned for release as a single in Canada (backed with "For Your Eyes Only"), but was issued only extremely briefly before the single was withdrawn. Videos for "Island of Lost Souls" and "English Boys" were produced.

In the liner notes to the 2001 reissue of The Hunter, producer Mike Chapman stated, "I knew that we were in a different and far less accessible artistic space. And that worried me. I could tell that things were different now, and I knew that this would be the last Blondie album."

Release and reception
The album peaked at No.9 in the UK, No.15 in Australia and No.33 in the US. Compared to Blondie's three previous albums with Mike Chapman as producer (Parallel Lines, Eat to the Beat and Autoamerican), The Hunter proved to be a disappointment, both commercially and critically, with mixed reviews. Six months after its release, the band splintered. The summer Tracks Across America Tour '82 was set to promote the album but turned out to be unsuccessful. The band's European tour which was due to follow in autumn was cancelled.

The Hunter was digitally remastered and reissued by Chrysalis Records UK in 1994, and again by EMI-Capitol in 2001, both times with the 12″ version of "War Child" as the only bonus track.

Ups and Downs of the Stock Market After 1997

 * "For any stock that related to the Chinese economy, that had successfully found a Chinese enterprise to invest in or that had a Chinese concept, the share price could multiply drastically within a short period of time." Really?  Is this generalising too much? SamgraSamgra 24/11/2005

Yes, perhaps I should add some examples for this point. Such as when China Everbright (a Chinese enterprise directly supervised by the Chinese State Council) invested in the retail fashion compamy- Theme (stock code:990), the share price of Theme doubled from $3 to about $7. MJ Vivian

Migration
Lilian: I wrote more about migration and incorporated your paragraph about it into mine. Ida

Economy
Copyedited this section throughout, eliminated wordiness.

Typically, hedge funds/short sellers are blamed for all declines in markets all the time. Someone has to sell in a decline, which usually means institutional selling, since they are a large portion of the market. While hedge funds are usually blamed by column writers/general opinion, banks/mutual funds/etc. also participate in selling when markets decline. So it is superfluous to say--someone sold and the market went down.

So I took out the references to hedge funds. Whatthree16, 12/7/05

Criminals
The present text includes this passage: "As many as 100,000 people fled to Hong Kong each month under the new regime, many of whom were rich farmers and capitalists who brought with them management experience, though even more were criminals who established the influential triad society in Hong Kong." Is this meant to imply that the majority of migrants to Hong Kong were criminals? The passage says that 'many' were rich farmers and capitalists, while 'even more' were criminals. This seems at least to imply that a substantial proportion were criminals. I find this difficult to believe. There were over a million migrants in total, so even 1% would be over 10,000! No source is given for the statements in the text, so I suggest that either a source should be provided or the passage should be deleted.2A00:23C8:7907:4B01:A904:BD9B:671D:C02F (talk) 12:49, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Dark Moon (song)

"Dark Moon" is a song written by Ned Miller, which was popularized in several different musical formats after its composition. The more popular versions of the song were recorded by Bonnie Guitar and Gale Storm.

Bonnie Guitar version
The original version of "Dark Moon" was recorded by American country music artist Bonnie Guitar in 1957. Guitar's producer, Fabor Robison, originally intended for rock and roll singer Dorsey Burnette to record the song, but was dissatisfied with the finished product. Instead, Guitar offered to record "Dark Moon", giving up her royalties to record the song, stating "I told him I’d give up my royalties to be able to record that song. I knew in my mind, as little as I knew, that that was a hit song. I just knew it. So, we went right in the studio and started working on it, and I played the lead guitar and everything." Ned Miller himself played the guitar in this recording.

The single version was leased on Dot Records and issued in March 1957. "Dark Moon" peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and became a top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching #6. The single was Guitar's first major hit as a musical artist.

This version of the song was used in the credits to Season 1 Episode 3 of the Disney+ show Loki.

Gale Storm version
The second version of "Dark Moon" was recorded by American pop artist Gale Storm, with orchestra and chorus directed by Billy Vaughn. At the release of Bonnie Guitar's original version of "Dark Moon", Storm was recording for Dot Records as well. Storm's manager insisted that she record the song. Gale Storm's version was released shortly after the original version's release in 1957. The single peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in late 1957. The song became Storm's last chart record in Billboard Magazine.

Shortly after Storm's success, British pop artist Tony Brent covered the song. An official single version was released in 1957 and reached #17 on the UK Singles Chart in June 1957.

Other recordings

 * Bing Crosby recorded the song in 1957 for use on his radio show and it was subsequently included in the album Shall We Dance?(2012)
 * Frank Ifield - included in his album Blue Skies (1964)
 * Patti Page - included in her album Patti Page Sings Country and Western Golden Hits (1961)
 * Chris Isaak - from the soundtrack of the film A Perfect World (1993)
 * Elvis Presley - included in the (compilation) album The Home Recordings (1999). The song, a home recording, was recorded in 1966.
 * Anna Wilson - included on her album Just For You (2007)
 * Jim Reeves - Included on his 1959 album “The Intimate Jim Reeves”

Achille Delesse

Achille Ernest Oscar Joseph Delesse (3 February 1817 – 24 March 1881) was a French geologist and mineralogist. He is credited for inventing the Delesse principle in stereology.

Education and career
Delesse was born at Metz. At the age of twenty he entered the École Polytechnique, and subsequently went to the Ecole des Mines, where he was trained under the tutelage of Jean-Baptiste Élie de Beaumont and Ours-Pierre-Armand Petit-Dufrénoy. In 1845, he was appointed to the chair of mineralogy and geology at the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon. In 1850, he became the chair of geology at the Sorbonne in Paris; and in 1864, professor of agriculture at the Ecole des Mines.

Delesse died in Paris on 24 March 1881.

Research
In early years as ingénieur des mines, Delesse investigated and described various new minerals; he proceeded afterward to the study of rocks, devising new methods for their determination, and giving particular descriptions of melaphyre, arkose, porphyry, syenite, and others. The igneous rocks of the Vosges, and those of the Alps, Corsica, etc., and the subject of metamorphism occupied his attention. He also prepared in 1858 geological and hydrological maps of Paris, with reference to the underground water, similar maps of the départements of the Seine and Seine-et-Marne, and an agronomic map of the Seine-et-Marne (1880), in which he showed the relation that exists between the physical and chemical characters of the soil and the geological structure.

The annual Revue des progrès de géologie of Delesse, undertaken with the assistance (1860–1865) of Auguste Laugel and afterwards (1865–1878) of Albert de Lapparent, was carried on from 1860 to 1880. His observations on the lithology of the deposits accumulated beneath the sea were of special interest and importance. His separate publications were: Recherches sur l'origine des roches (Paris, 1865); Étude sur le métamorphisme des roches (1869), Lithologie des mers de France et des mers principales du globe (2 vols. and atlas, 1871).

Honors
Delesse was elected as a member to the American Philosophical Society in 1863, and to the French Academy of Sciences in 1879. In 1878, he became inspector-general of the Corps des mines.

Talk:University of Bradford

old commetns
I'm glad the comment about the Animatronics course has been taken away. I am actually on this course, and have been for the last 2 years, so it's far from a failure.

The Biki bar has closed. However, richmond is sliding down the hill, damn subsidation!

When did the Biko move from the first floor of the Richmond building to the ground floor (or alternatively, when did the Richmond building sink 30 feet into the ground)? Guinness2702 2005-07-25T14:35 (BST).

That's an inaccuracy. My father was at Bradford in 1966 and the student union bar was on the first floor. The student union shop in the Richmond Building did move from the first to the ground floor recently, but now both it and the Biko are closing down for several months due to construction work on the building. User:NRTurner 2005-08-28T21:41 (BST).

What exactly is this "bliz" that students enact upon the red-light district on Longside Lane every couple of years?

 * I don't know what that's supposed to mean, so that's one of the POV bits I've just excised from the article. ColinFine 17:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

University ratings
(I'm posting this to all articles on UK universities as so far discussion hasn't really taken off on WikiProject Universities.)

There needs to be a broader convention about which university rankings to include in articles. Currently it seems most pages are listing primarily those that show the institution at its best (or worst in a few cases). See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities. Timrollpickering 23:43, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Union section
The BSC section is good but is far to long to include as a whole, it dwarfs the rest of the info on the union. Is also not a major part & of the union's activities. --Nate1481(t/c) 14:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Hmm maybe someone should write more about the student union other activities then!!! :) I have moved the BSC to its own page, and before anyone has any more moans about merging everything back into the main uni page, there are plenty of other film societies out there. I feel it's important not to loose this info. You may think it's not a major part of the Union, but it is when it's running! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maniac Pony (talk • contribs)
 * The BSC hasn't been active in some time, I had no problem when it was part of the union article but after that was deleted including the whole thing is too much. --Nate1481(t/c) 14:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

You may not be aware then that it was reformed last year (officially through union council, and is once again operating as a society. Albeit there were no actual showings before summer due to the roofing work in the great hall. --Maniac Pony 16:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Didn't know it had re-formed good luck with it used to be really good, some mention is needed but the section is to long winded as is. --Nate1481(t/c) 17:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Can you give locations, and I'll check their status with catering? There's a few random vending machines still in situation but no longer stocked / in service, but no-one's bothered to get rid of them! Not aware of any myself, but don't vist all campus areas! My edit comment ended up slightly gobledygook, you can for example still buy a kitkat in Chesham, however IIRC the uni does not have to be 100% fair trade to gain the status. Nestle is irrelivant, whilst they are controversial, their appearance makes them no less fairtrade than mars or cadbury's would. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Maniac Pony (talk • contribs).

Chancellor Information
Although the recently added text concerning Imran Khan's biography seem to be well referenced, they appear biased to focus entirely on purely negative aspects of the chancellor. As individual sentances they appear NPOV, but as a whole are aimed at discrediting the subject. I do not wish to get into an edit war as mrsatrellis has already tried to remove the comments, but agree with the point that these should be on Imran's biography page if anywhere. It appears that they have been placed within the university article as the writer could not add them to Imran's own pace as it is locked. Perhaps someone with more wikipedia experience can comment or suggest they be moved to the talk page for discussion? Maniac Pony 16:32, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Manic Pony: Imran Khan was installed as a Chancellor on 7 December, 2005. In March 2006, four Bradford students were arrested and detained under the Terrorism Act 2000, on suspicion of terrorism-related offences. In 2007, all four were tried and found guilty of possessing material for terrorist purposes. In June, 2007 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's members chanted "Curse Rushdie, Long Live Osama (Bin Laden)", and in July, 2007, Mr. Khan calls American President George Bush to be #1 terrorist of the world.

 * Wikipedia is NOT a PR space for Bradford University where University staff and well-wishers present only "sanitize" information. Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox

 * University of Bradford has to be highlighted as a place which celebrates a terrorist supporting and a terrorist supported Chancellor.

 * Chancellor_(education) is typically a ceremonial position. If University of Bradford simply ignores the facts on the ground about its Chancellor, and does not find anyone else to hold this ceremonial position, especially when four of its students are convicted for terrorism by a British court, then it sends a very clear message to the world, that is, "we are clueless, and we don't care."

 * If you think that all these facts are "biased" or, as mrsatrellis suggested, "trivial", then I don't know what critical evaluation of any subject matter is. M12390 04:06, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

 * M12390 you appear to have an agenda here to attack Imran Khan and discredit the University. The detailed information on him belongs in that article not this one. The student arrests deserves a mention and it should be leftin, but beyond stating that Imran Khan is contravecial it's going too far. If you want it included on his page post it on the talk with a request for an admin to add it. --Nate1481(t/c) 10:44, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Nate1481 You claim to have "Masters Degree in Pharmaceutical Studies from the University of Bradford" in your profile, which makes you biased to start off with. You have time, money and reputation involved with this university. Whether I have an agenda or not is utterly insignificant compared to your agenda of deflecting not-so-peachy data related to the university, you got a degree from. So please refrain from accusing others to "have an agenda", and refrain from removing sourced material which is VERY relevant at this stage of University of Bradford's existence. You vandalism is noted, and will be reported to admins if needed. M12390 13:25, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I graduated from there 3 years ago, I still have some links but primarily with the student union sports clubs, and a certain level of nostalgia. How time money and reputation come into this I don't know, but it is not neutral to deliberately portray the university as a institution that promotes terrorism. Details of his personal life do not belong here they belong on the article about him after being re-worded to remove the emotive undertones. --Nate1481(t/c) 13:40, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * P.s. You quoted WP:SOAP earlier, this swings both ways, this is not a place to deliberately degrade the reputation of Bradford either. --Nate1481(t/c) 13:44, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Nate1481's words are biased because he is associated with Bradford by holding a degree issued by the the University.Neutral Ray

 * So I'm incapable of being neutral? I have not tried to hide my association or denied it, I simply feel that this is not the place to discuss Kahn's other affairs. If I was being a POV warrior i would not have supported the inclusion of the section on the arrests. Personally I have some problems with the way the university is currently run, shifting the term dates and other actions have not been in the best interest of the students, I do however dislike it when someone tries to hijack an article, especially one I care about, for their own agenda. As another editor pointed out, are we also going to include all the controversial actions of Harold Willson? --Nate1481(t/c) 15:46, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Nate1481 It is pretty sad that in your attempt to defend the reputation of an institution that, in your own admission, you "care about", you are engaging in emotionalism, and may I suggest, "academic dishonesty." Forget about Imran Khan's personal life. We can take that out from the narrative. The fact remains that terrorism is a grave issue for humanity today. And it appears that any place where young people congregate, Madrasa or University, could be subject to terror recruitment. The arrest and conviction of four students may turn out to be insignificant or aberration for Bradford, but the fact remains that Imran Khan has been a Taliban Supporter for quite some time now, which is obvious from his passionate statements in their favor, and their statements in his favor. If you read Urdu, I could have forwarded you many many news reports from the Pakistani media which establish such link in pretty much black and white, and they are not just accusations by third parties.

As far as Wilson, if someone thinks that any of his actions profoundly affected the University, then bring it on. I don't have any problem with that. M12390

 * I have removed the material about Imran Khan (again). The Chancellor's private life is absolutely irrelevant to this article, unless there is an established, scholarly opinion that his personal views have influenced the University in some definable fashion.
 * Per WP:REDFLAG, exceptional claims require exceptional sources, and I have seen none which support the inclusion of stuff like "Mr. Khan allegedly fathered a girl out of wedlock" in this article about a university. — mholland (talk) 00:26, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Mholland and others please read this what Imran Khan had to say and preach "US should keep it in mind if it dared to attack holiest places of Muslims, it will stand effaced on the map of world, he warned. Over one billion Muslims will become suicide bombers across the world in the event of US attack, he added.

And what he had to say about Taliban "Taliban inclusion necessary for success of Pak-Afghan Jirga: Imran Khan"

Taliban leader Imran Khan said that the Taliban should be included in the Afghan-Pakistan Jirga if a lasting peace is to be expected. Khan also said that Iraq should not permit the U.S. military to remain, that diplomacy with Islamic militant groups would be better for the Country as a whole. Khan also said that Pakistan should end its alliance with the United States as well. []

I strongly think that Imran Khan's extremist views and guidance would influence the UOB students, as we have seen in 2006. Neutral Ray —Preceding unsigned comment added by Neutral Ray (talk • contribs) 05:23, August 24, 2007 (UTC) Neutral Ray 05:43, 24 August 2007 (UTC)Neutral Ray

 * I see nothing wrong with attempting to maintian a neutral point of view in an article I care about if you are only allowed to edit articles you don't care about, that's the end of wikipedia. If people want to know about Imran Khan they can read the page on him, the information is sourced but but does not belong here. You seem to have repeatedly ignored the fact that I agree the student arrests are relevant and as they are currently phrased fine, they shoudl be included--Nate1481(t/c) 08:48, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

I would disagree with Neutral Ray's view that the chancellor's views would influence students, the chancellor of the university would have very little involvements with student other than a handshake on degree day. it is the VC who leads a university. The chancellor has no political involvement (certainly not in the case of Imran Khan), who i believe rarely even turns up to events. The individual political views of the chancellor do not necessarily match those of the university itself, and no-one has presented any evidence to say that the university supports the chancellor's personal views on the matter. Personal matters and political views should therefore be on his own page, the appear to have bene dumped here as M12390 cannot edit Imran's own article. Mrsatrellis 10:10, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Mrsatrellis: I think that both you and Nate are very emotional and protective of Bradford. I did not add the information on the Bradford University page because I cannot edit Imran Khan page. I can edit that page. Here is proof http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Imran_Khan&action=history

I am adding information on the Bradford University page because this is where the information rightfully belongs. Imran Khan's extremist views are a liability to Bradford, and that has more to do with individuals, and the very institution, Imran Khan affects, than Imran Khan himself. If I went with your logic, then the information on Bradford Riots should stay in Bradford Riots' page and not on Bradford University page. If we go with your logic then the atom bomb information should stay in atom bomb page, and not on Hiroshima or Nagasaki site.

Neither you nor Nate nor others, who are objecting to my data, have any logical leg to stand on. I have no problem removing the information related to his extra-marital affairs. Imran Khan's extremist views stay. M12390 10:40, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

M12390 reasoning is flawed. The single sentance on the riots affecting intake are correct, but I wouldn't expect to have a paragraph of information about the riots themselves on a page about the university. A link should suffice to the article about the individual or event. Concerning other edits I have suggested, I do admit to links to the university, and have not made them from a position of bias, but have remove certain content as I feel they are not relivant to the university today. I would go as far as suggest that for most insitutions the chancellor is a celebrity figurehead. In Bradford's case the current chancellor might turn up and do the odd graduation or opening, nothing more. His political views don't have any relivance to the university itself. Maniac Pony 13:13, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

 * If your are referring to this:

 * The Bradford Race Riots of 2001 lead to a sharp fall in applications to the university, but the situation has improved since and in 2005 undergraduate applications from home students was up by 35% on the previous year.

 * It mentions the riots in the context of a direct affect on the University. It also goes into no detail, just links the article. Have there been any changes in applicant statistics since khan became Chancellor? If so that would be relevant. --Nate1481(t/c) 10:57, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Nate, installation of an extremist, nay terrorist-supporting, and terrorist-supported, Chancellor, in itself, is a VERY relevant. Attempts to "sweep under the carpet" of the existence of such Chancellor is VERY relevant. Terror warnings do no good AFTER terrorism has been committed, and the culprit has been convicted in a court of law. Come on now!!!

This is NOT U of B's approved PR page. It is a Wikipedia page. If you alma mater has descended to the level that it could not find anyone other than Imran Khan as Chancellor, then that is VERY VERY relevant. M12390 11:04, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I would have no objection to saying that the party he is part of is controversial, but the level of detail is inappropriate, unless there is reliably sourced evidence that it has affected the university it should left out. This is not an anti-terrorism soap box. --Nate1481(t/c) 11:16, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

3RR violation

Lots of people have been edit warring over this page, so I've protected it for 5 days, or until you can agree on a consensus version for the page. Some notes: I'm not a content arbiter, but it you can't reach a decision here then I suggest you seek dispute resolution and/or file a request for comment about this article. --Haemo 01:19, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I have protected The Wrong Version (TM), so said protection is not an endorsement of the current version of the page.
 * Personal attacks and vague accusations of conflict of interest based on alma mater are not productive.
 * Poorly sourced material about someones personal life, especially material that would constitutes libel in real life needs a rock solid source.

Why the Chancellor's views do not belong here - my opinion
I removed the material earlier, stating that the point of the section on Chancellors is to state who has been the Chancellor, not everything any of them have been involved in. Most university Chancellors who've been in some political or religious role have controversies. Sticking purely to current Chancellors in the UK there are the following potential controversial ones: Timrollpickering 02:54, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

 * A lot are current/former members of one parliament or another, and so aside from any individual controversies, they will often have voted (or abstained) on some controversial thing or other during their time
 * Aberdeen has Lord Wilson of Tillyorn, former Governor of Hong Kond and (I think) cross bench peer
 * Abertay Dundee has the Earl of Airlie, a former Lord Chamberlain and member of the Lords
 * Bath has Lord Tugendhat, former Conservative MP and member of the European Commission
 * Brunel has Lord Wakeham, a former Conservative cabinet minister
 * Cambridge and Edinburgh both have the Duke of Edinburgh, well known for his controversies and gaffes
 * Canterbury Christ Church has the Archbishop of Canterbury ex officio - and the current Archbishop has been caught up in controversies in the Church
 * Cardiff has Lord Kinnock former Labour leader and European Commissioner
 * Chester has the Duke of Westminster, but I don't see the university article listing his use of prostitutes or his claim to know where Osama bin Laden is
 * Coventry has Lord Plumb, former Conservative Member of the European Parliament and President of the European Parliament
 * Cumbria and York St John both have John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York who has spoken out on a variety of subjects such as accusing the BBC of being afraid to criticise Islam, the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay or poverty
 * De Montfort has Lord Alli, a gay rights campaigner (controversial in some quarters), who voted to keep fox hunting legal (controversial in what are usually other quarters) and his company produced the revival of Crossroads, which stirred controversy of a rather different kind
 * Dundee has Lord Patel, a cross bench peer
 * Essex has Lord Phillips of Sudbury, a Liberal Democrat peer who sort of "resigned" from the Lords and has been outspoken in opposing ID cards, counter-terrorist legislation and the volume of legislation
 * Glamorgan has Lord Morris of Aberavon, former Labour Cabinet minister
 * Glasgow has Kenneth Calman, who was the government's Chief Medical Officer at the time of the BSE Crisis (when government advice was controversial)
 * Greenwich has Lord Holme of Cheltenham, a Liberal Democrat peer
 * Heriot-Watt has Baroness Greenfield, a cross bench peer
 * Hertfordshire has the Marquess of Salisbury who variously opposed sanctions against Rhodesia, resigned a junior post in opposition to government policy on Northern Ireland and subsequently stood down from the Commons over the Anglo-Irish Agreement, later served as Conservative Leader in the Lords and caused no end of problems over negotiations on the future of hereditary peers leading to the humiliation of his party leader and his own sacking, and took "leave of absence" as he felt the rules for declaration of financial interests are too onerous
 * Huddersfield has Patrick Stewart, a lifelong & public supporter of the Labour Party so possibly supported a few controversial causes
 * Hull has Baroness Bottomley of Nettlestone, former Conservative Cabinet Minister who was not without controversy when in office
 * Leeds has Lord Bragg, an outspoken author & broadcaster and a Labour peer
 * Lincoln has Elizabeth Esteve-Coll, who generated controversy as director of the Victoria and Albert Museum
 * Liverpool has Lord Owen, former Labour cabinet minister, leader of the Social Democratic Party, leader of a "continuity" SDP and envoy to the former Yugoslavia who caused no end of controversy in many fields, especially the last
 * Liverpool Hope has Baroness Cox, a former Conservative peer expelled from the party for endorsing UKIP
 * London has the Princess Royal who has been in a few controversies over the years
 * Manchester has two (a product of the merger) - Anna Ford who famously throw wine over a TV-am executive & MP, and got involved in some other controversies - and Terry Leahy, whose article hasn't yet got much controversy listed
 * Newcastle and Oxford both have Lord Patten of Barnes, former Conservative Cabinet Minister, Governor of Hong Kong, European Commission member and head of the commission on policing in Northern Ireland that replaced the Royal Ulster Constabulary, all posts that generated controversy in his career
 * Northumbria has Lord Stevens of Kirkwhelpington, a former head of the Metropolitan Police and whilst I can't spot any individual controversies yet listed on his page, the Met often has someone somewhere attacking it for whatever reason
 * Open has Lord Puttnam, a Labour peer and film producer (who was criticised "what some saw as a condescending attitude toward the Hollywood film industry" when he was Chief Executive of Columbia Pictures)
 * Queen's has George J. Mitchell, a former US Democrat leader in the Senate and US Envoy to Northern Ireland, chairing the negotiations that led to the Good Friday Agreement, and he was not always universally popular with every party during his time there
 * Reading has Lord Carrington a former Conservative cabinet minister whose actions in office, particularly the settlement in Zimbabwe and lack of preparation for the Falklands War (over which he resigned) were not without controversy
 * Sheffield Hallam has Robert Winston, a Labour peer but also one of the scientists best known amongst the wider public in the UK who has invariably spoken out on controversial matters
 * Southampton Solent has Lord West of Spithead who has just been brought into the Government as a junior security minister - invariably he will be involved with controversial government policies in that role
 * St Andrews has Menzies Campbell, current leader of the Liberal Democrats
 * Staffordshire has Lord Morris of Handsworth, former head of a key trade union - again a position not without controversy
 * Strathclyde has Lord Hope of Craighead, a life peer who has also held several legal posts
 * Surrey has the Duke of Kent, who served in the army and there were accusations his unit wasn't sent to Northern Ireland to prevent a Royal being put in danger (shades of the controversy over Prince Harry today), though it's not clear if this is true
 * Sussex has Lord Attenborough, a Labour peer as well as an actor & director
 * Teesside has Lord Sawyer, a Labour peer and former party general secretary, and former leading trade union official
 * Thames Valley has Lord Bilimoria, a cross bencher in the Lords
 * Wales has the Prince of Wales, who has been outspoken in several areas and drawn controversy for others
 * Warwick has Nick Scheele, "an advocate of private funding for universities and strong links to business" - areas of controversy in universities
 * Westminster and Wolverhampton both have Lord Paul, who is I think a cross bencher
 * York has Greg Dyke, former Director General of the BBC who resigned in the aftermath of the Hutton Inquiry, and during his time in the post provoked other political controversy over allegations of bias

...and there are many others who are from the media or business who have probably been equally controversial but so far that information hasn't yet made it onto Wikipedia.

Nor is the Chancellor the only post in a university that can be held by prominent people - there's also the Pro Chancellor, the Rector and various other posts.

And of course this is only the incumbents - many a past Chancellor has been just as controversial if not more. To name but just two, Oxford's past Chancellors include William Laud and Oliver Cromwell, each as controversial as the other at the time and since.

Now at a glance I don't see these controversies listed on the university articles. If an individual's appointment has generated notable controversy that can be sourced then it is worthy of mention, or if the individual has been controversial in a relevant field but the university article is not the place for listing opinions of the Chancellor that do not have a direct bearing on their role.

Chancellor's Information should belong here
Wikipedia is encyclopedia and its all about information. We need to give some information about Chancellors same as we did for each department of the school. Neutral Ray 04:00, 25 August 2007 (UTC) Neutral Ray

 * Departments and faculties are directly relevant to a university (although I think the level of information given here is overkill and bordering on a prospectus!). The Chancellor's opinions are not. Timrollpickering 05:35, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I did not know that Chancellor is not directly relevant to a university. Timrollpickering for your information Chancellor is head of a university University_chancellor.Neutral Ray 06:57, 25 August 2007 (UTC) Neutral Ray

 * From Chancellor (education):

 * In most Commonwealth (or former Commonwealth) nations, the Chancellor is usually a titular (figurehead) non-resident head, often with a Pro-Chancellor as practical Chairman of the governing body ("The Council"); the actual chief executive of a university is the Vice-Chancellor.

 * Trying to say who the one single "head" of a university is can be a little confused because of the set-up, but in the UK the person people would regard as the "head" of a university is the Vice-Chancellor - the day-to-day chief executive. The Chancellor's role in the life of the university often does little more than turn up to graduations and the odd other ceremony (and sometimes not even that) and has virtually no de facto role in the direction of the university.

 * If Khan is controversial (which as I've pointed out above is far from unique amongst university Chancellors) then that belongs on Khan's article not here. Not only do the other university articles not detail every controversy involving Chancellors past and present, but articles on countries, states, counties, districts, cities etc... do not have the controversies of the heads, whether titular or de facto, on the article. Ken Livingstone's numerous controversies are on his own article, not on London, or for that matter Mayor of London and Greater London Authority. Listing Khan's controversies here is soapboxing.

On another note, as Bradford was (is?) a 'Centre of Cricketing Excellence' would Khan's cricket and coaching style also be relevant? --Nate1481(t/c) 08:56, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Requesting edit
editprotected

Haemo acknowledges that he (of course) protected The Wrong Version. But in this case, the version is not simply wrong; it is defamatory, and potentially libellous. The claim that Imran Khan is "a Taliban leader" is based on a single reference, of doubtful provenance, and is not backed by any independent evidence. As such, it has no place even on his biography, much less on an article about an independent institution. I request that this phrase be removed from the article. RolandR 20:40, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I concur with RolandR that this claim should be removed as soon as possible, for obvious BLP reasons given the weak evidence for a very serious, probably libellous claim.--Slp1 02:53, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Tend to agree; poorly sourced material should be removed, and I have done so. Discuss it, and get some rock-solid sourcing for it for inclusion.  --Haemo 03:36, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

A comment here has been removed, as it is potentially libellous. FCYTravis 05:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Accuse me of bias all you want, but the fact remains that you have one dubious source for your claims that he is a "Taliban leader". In fact, the Associated Press specifically avoided calling him as much.  Your "quacks like a duck" argument is classic original research. --Haemo 05:51, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Being critic of Anglo-American foreign policies, particularly their so-called war on terror should not make one a pro-taliban terrorist nor a fundamentalist. Remember Imran khan is a former UK-based playboy. His political opponents, rightwing and leftwing, use this fact to undermine his manifesto for change in Pakistan - and God knows there is a need for such change given the corruptions they are all involved in there. You can clearly notice such attacks on the Chancellor on this page from British/Pakistan-based contributors many of whom are supporters of secular and anti-Islam People's Party and the various factions of Pakistan Muslim League who have used Islam to manipulate the masses of the country for their own selfish and nefarious ends. The military is also complicit in this given General Musharraf and his compatriots (Indians immigrants) in the Sindh-based Mohajer Qaumi Movement (Immigrants National Movement) whom Imran has criticised and opposed as a terrorist organisation. MQM's leader Altaf Hussain is a refugee from justice and controls the group from his ondon hideout.

Incidently, from my reading of the history of Bradford University (I read for a degree there in late 1960's and I'm now an engineer in Australia) it was called Bradford Institute of Technology, immediately prior to being given Royal Charter, and not Bradford Technical College which by now was a separate institution.

Court of First Instance (Hong Kong)

The Court of First Instance is the lower court of the High Court of Hong Kong, the upper court being the Court of Appeal. Formerly the High Court of Justice of the Supreme Court of Hong Kong, it was renamed the Court of First Instance by the Basic Law after the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to China.

The Court of First Instance is the highest court in Hong Kong that can hear cases at first instance with unlimited jurisdiction in both civil and criminal matters. It hears predominantly civil cases but only relatively few criminal cases were heard at first instance, mostly involving the most serious crimes such as homicide offences, rape, serious drugs offences and major commercial frauds.

It is also an appellate court hearing appeals against decisions made by Masters as well as those of:
 * Magistrates' Courts
 * Small Claims Tribunal
 * Obscene Articles Tribunal
 * Labour Tribunal
 * Minor Employment Claims Adjudication Board

It is the only court in Hong Kong where cases are tried by a judge with a jury (although the inquisition in Coroner's court may involve a jury). The Basic Law only maintains 'the trial by jury previously practised in Hong Kong' but it does not make jury trial an absolute right. In the case of Chiang Lily v Secretary for Justice, the court confirmed that "there does not exist, in Hong Kong, any absolute right to trial by jury nor any mechanism by which a person to be tried of an indictable offence may elect to be so tried" (per Wright J.). A defendant will only face a jury trial if he is tried in the Court of First Instance, and the decision is the prerogative of the Secretary for Justice.

The Court of First Instance is bound by the ratio of previous decisions of higher courts (including the Court of Final Appeal and Court of Appeal of the High Court, as well as all Hong Kong cases previously decided by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council) that have not been overruled.

Lillian Schwartz

Lillian F. Schwartz (born 1927) is an American artist considered a pioneer of computer-mediated art and one of the first artists notable for basing almost her entire oeuvre on computational media. Many of her ground-breaking projects were done in the 1960s and 1970s, well before the desktop computer revolution made computer hardware and software widely available to artists.

Early life and artistic training
As a young girl during the Great Depression, Schwartz experimented with slate, mud, sticks, and chalk as free materials for making art. She studied to become a nurse under a World War II education program and later on found her training in anatomy, biology, and the use of plaster valuable in making art. Stationed in Japan during the postwar occupation in an area between Hiroshima and Nagasaki, she contracted polio, which paralyzed her for a time. As part of her rehabilitation, she studied calligraphy with the artist Tshiro.

After her return to the United States, she continued to experiment with media, including metal and plastic sculpture. In this period, she had to have surgery for a thyroid tumor, possibly from exposure to plastic solvents.

Career
By 1966, Schwartz had begun working with light boxes and mechanical devices like pumps, and she became a member of the Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) group that brought together artists and engineers as collaborators. In 1968 her kinetic sculpture Proxima Centauri was included in the important early show of machine art at the Museum of Modern Art in New York entitled "The Machine as Seen at the End of the Mechanical Age." This sculpture was later used as a special effect for a Star Trek episode, in which it served as a prison for Spock's brain.

Schwartz was brought into Bell Labs in 1968 by Leon Harmon. While there, she worked with engineers John Vollaro and others, including extensive collaboration with Ken Knowlton, a software engineer and computer artist who had also had work in the 1968 Museum of Modern Art show. That collaboration produced a series of computer-animated films, each built from the output of visual generative algorithms written by Knowlton and edited by Schwartz. She took classes in programming at The New School for Social Research around that same time. She began making paintings and films with a combination of hand painting, digital collaging, computer and other image processing, and optical post-processing, initially working with Knowlton's 1963 computer graphics language, BEFLIX, his subsequent graphics language EXPLOR and also SYMBOLICS. By 1975, Schwartz and Knowlton, in collaboration, had made ten of the first digitally created computer-animated films to be exhibited as works of fine art: Pixillation, Olympiad, UFOs, Enigma, Googolplex, Apotheosis, Affinities, Kinesis, Alae and'' Metamorphosis.

While those 10 films did not yet involve the digital editing of images or image sequences, Schwartz having edited them as physical film the conventional way, in her work of subsequent periods, Schwartz's creative cobbling together of different, often cutting-edge technologies has been said to prefigure what would later become common practice in such programs as Photoshop and Final Cut Pro.

Schwartz has contributed to scientific research on color perception and sound. She had been a consultant at AT&T Bell Laboratories, IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Laboratory, Exxon Research Center and Lucent Technologies Bell Labs Innovations.

Notable works
Schwartz used the works of Leonardo da Vinci extensively in experiments with computers. One notable work she created is Mona/Leo, for which she compared the image of a Leonardo da Vinci self-portrait with the Mona Lisa, matching the two faces feature by feature to show their underlying structural similarity. Specifically, she replaced the right side of the Mona Lisa with the flipped left side of a red chalk self-portrait of Leonardo. Superimposed lines drawn on the image showing the close alignments of the bottom of the eye, eyebrow, nose and chin prompted her to argue that the Mona Lisa is in part a cryptic self-portrait of the artist. In further experiments along these lines, she removed the gray tones in Leonardo da Vinci's self-portrait and superimposed the Mona Lisa eye over it. Not everyone is convinced by her argument for the identity of Leonardo da Vinci and the Mona Lisa; one common counter-argument is that the similarities are due to both portraits having been created by the same person and therefore bearing the hallmarks of a characteristic style. Additionally, though the drawing on which Schwartz based the comparison is held to be a self-portrait, there is no firm historical evidence to support this theory.

In a similar experiment, Schwartz used a custom ray-tracing program to investigate the perspective anomalies in the drawing of da Vinci's fresco painting of the Last Supper. Her 3D computer-generated model showed that the perspective lines in the Last Supper do match up with (extend) the architecture of the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan where the fresco is located, but only because of certain changes Leonardo made to standard linear perspective.

Reception and legacy
Schwartz has been called a pioneer in "establishing computers as a valid and fruitful artistic medium" by physicist and Nobel laureate Arno Penzias and a trailblazer and virtuoso by the philosopher-artist Timothy Binkley. Her films have been included in the Venice Biennale and the Cannes Film Festival, among many others, and have received numerous awards. In the 1980s, a computer-generated TV spot that she created for the newly renovated Museum of Modern Art in New York won an Emmy Award.

Schwartz's artworks have been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Moderna Museet (Stockholm), Centre Beauborg (Paris), Stedlijk Museum of Art (Amsterdam), the Grand Palais Museum (Paris), and at numerous galleries and festivals worldwide. Schwartz has been a visiting member of the Computer Science Department at the University of Maryland; an adjunct professor at the Kean College, Fine Arts Department; an adjunct professor at Rutger's Visual Arts Department; an adjunct professor at the Psychology Department, School of Arts and Sciences, New York University; and a Member of the Graduate Faculty of The School of Visual Arts, NYC. She has also been an Artist in Residence at Channel 13, WNET, New York. She has been a fellow of the World Academy of Science and Art since 1988.

Philip II, Metropolitan of Moscow

Saint Philip II of Moscow (11 February 1507 – 23 December 1569) was the Metropolitan of Moscow and all Rus' from 1566 to 1568. He was the thirteenth Metropolitan of Moscow to be appointed without the approval of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople as had been the norm.

He was one of a few metropolitans who dared openly to contradict Ivan the Terrible. It is widely believed that the tsar had him murdered on that account. He is venerated as a saint and martyr in the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Life
He was born Feodor Stefanovich Kolychov into one of the noblest boyar families of Muscovy, in the city of Galich (in present-day Kostroma Oblast). However, according to some sources, he was born in Moscow. Grand Prince Vasili III took young Theodore into the royal court. It is said that since childhood Theodore was on friendly terms with Ivan IV of Russia ("Ivan the Terrible").

According to other accounts, he was involved in the conspiracy of Prince Andrey of Staritsa against Elena Glinskaya and, when their plans were discovered, he escaped to Solovetsky Monastery on the White Sea. Yet another account says that his decision to become a monk occurred on Sunday 5 June 1537, while he was standing in church for the Divine Liturgy, on hearing the words of Jesus: "No man can serve two masters". According to this account, he secretly left Moscow dressed as a muzhik (peasant), and for a while he hid himself away from the world in the village of Khizna, near Lake Onega, earning his livelihood as a shepherd, later joining the monastery at Solovetsk. At any rate, he entered the monastery at Solovki at the age of 30, and a year and a half later he was tonsured (took monastic vows), receiving the religious name of Philip. In the monastery he worked at the iron forge and as a baker.

Eleven years later, Philip was made hegumen (abbot) of the monastery. During his term in office, they constructed two cathedrals, a brick-yard, many water-mills and storehouses, and a network of canals connecting 72 lakes. It is said that Philip took part in all these toils together with other monks. As a result, the monastery experienced a spiritual revival. He also adopted a new monastic Rule (Typicon) for the community. Most of Philip's projects in Solovki survive to this day.

The tsar heard about the indefatigable monk and asked him to fill the vacant metropolitan see of Moscow. Philip agreed on condition that Ivan would abolish Oprichnina. On 25 July 1566 Philip was consecrated a bishop and enthroned as Metropolitan of Moscow and all Russia.

After only two years, however, Ivan the Terrible persisted with committing murders under the aegis of Oprichnina. During Great Lent, on the Sunday of the Veneration of the Cross, 2 March 1568, when the Tsar came to the cathedral for Divine Liturgy, Philip refused to bless him and publicly rebuked him for the ongoing massacre. The Massacre of Novgorod ensued, and Philip's condemnation followed.

Ivan eventually deposed Philip from office by raising incredible charges of sorcery and dissolute living. Philip was arrested during Liturgy at the Cathedral of Dormition and imprisoned in a dingy cell of the Theophany (Bogoiavlenskii) Monastery, fettered with chains, with a heavy collar around his neck, and was deprived of food for a few days in succession. Then he was transferred and immured at the Monastery of the Fathers (Otroch Monastery) at Tver. In November 1568, the tsar summoned the Holy Synod, which had Philip deposed. A year later, on 23 December 1569, he was strangled by the Tsar's minion, Malyuta Skuratov at Otroch, two days before Christmas. As if aware of his approaching death, Philip had asked to receive Holy Communion three days earlier.

Commemoration as a saint
After his martyrdom, monks from Solovki Monastery asked for permission to transfer the body of St. Philip to their monastery. When they opened up the tomb they found the body of the hierarch was incorrupt, and various healings began to be reported. The transfer of his remains from Tver to the Solovki Monastery took place in 1590.

In 1652, Patriarch Nikon persuaded Tsar Alexis to bring Philip's relics to Moscow, where he was glorified (proclaimed a saint) later that same year. His memory is celebrated three times a year:
 * His main feast day falls on 9 January (for those churches which follow the traditional Julian Calendar, 9 January falls on 22 January of the modern Gregorian Calendar).
 * The feast of the translation of his relics is celebrated on 3 July (16 July).
 * On 5 October (18 October) he is celebrated as one of the Hierarchs of Moscow. The celebration of a special day (Synaxis) to honor Saints Peter, Alexis, and Jonah as "Metropolitans and Wonderworkers of All Russia" was established by Patriarch Job in 1596. In 1875, St. Innocent, Metropolitan of Moscow proposed that St. Philip be included with the others.

Appearances in modern media

 * Ivan the Terrible, a Soviet era film about Ivan IV of Russia
 * Tsar, a 2009 Russian drama film directed by Pavel Lungin.

A441 road

A441 is an A-road in England which runs from central Birmingham to Cookhill, Worcestershire.

Route
The A441 starts on the A4540 The Middleway in Birmingham as a non primary route, running largely parallel to the A38. It passes Calthorpe Park and the suburbs of Selly Park, Stirchley, Cotteridge, Kings Norton and West Heath before leaving the West Midlands and entering Worcestershire. The village of Alvechurch is bypassed to the East, connecting with the M42 at junction 2, where there is a service station. Upon entering Redditch the A441 follows new town dual carriageway roads built in the early to mid-1970s including a short concurrence with the A448 where it gains primary status. Heading Southwards out of Redditch the former road is rejoined and it passes through the village of Astwood Bank before finally terminating at a staggered junction with the A422 (although the A441 takes priority at the junction) South of Cookhill, just short of the Warwickshire border.

History
Once one of the main routes between Evesham, Redditch and Birmingham, the A441 has now largely been superseded by A435 which has been upgraded to the East. Redditch was designated a new town in 1964, with this came major realignments of the major routes, including the A441, rebuilt to dual carriageway standard through the town. When the M42 was built in 1982, a link road was built from the A441 at Hopwood to a new junction East of Alvechurch. This later formed part of the Alvechurch bypass when completed in the 1990s. The final section of the road between Cookhill and Dunnington was downgraded in 1995.

Bypasses and Realignments

 * Alvechurch (Bypassed in the 1990s)
 * Redditch (Realigned onto new roads when the New Town was built)

Downgrading

 * Cookhill – Dunnington. The A441 is now the B4088, it used to meet the A435 at Dunnington

Correio Popular

Correio Popular is the largest daily newspaper in the city of Campinas, state of São Paulo, Brazil. It was founded on September 4, 1927, by Álvaro Ribeiro. The founder proposed a motto for the newspaper, which reads: "We will be diligent inspectors of public administration as well as obstinate caretakers of collective rights."

Currently it has an audited circulation of 48,000 (66,000 on Sundays) and a market share of 76% of all newspaper readership in Campinas (which is the third city in the Brazilian ranking of absolute number of newspaper readers). It is one of the most modern newspapers in the country and the largest Brazilian newspaper published outside capital cities. The publication is distributed to 45 cities in the region of Campinas. Currently it has special weekly supplements on travel and automobiles, and another one for children. On Sundays the paper has supplements for jobs and home and construction.

Correio Popular is owned and managed by a larger communications holding company, Rede Anhangüera de Comunicação (RAC), which operates a news agency (AAN), a printing facility (Grafcorp), a polls company (Datacorp) and owns also several other newspapers in Campinas, Piracicaba and Ribeirão Preto, such as Diário do Povo (the second largest newspaper in Campinas, with a 20% market share), Gazeta do Cambuí, Gazeta de Piracicaba, Gazeta de Ribeirão and the Metrópole magazine, which circulates on Sundays with Correio Popular.
