Talk:Faroese króna

The Faroese króna does not have a ISO code simply because it does not really exist. Its not pegged to the danish currency it IS a danish currency, printet by the danish national bank. Only difference is in appearance of the notes where those used in Faroe Islands have faroes motifs and text.

Using the Faorese Króna in Denmark?
Would the Faroese Króna banknotes be acceptable in trade situations in Denmark? 惑乱 分からん 19:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't quite know how the law is but some shops don't mind, while others won't take it. It is always possible to go into a bank and get it replaced by danish banknotes - i think this is without charge. b.r.  ℚ  uackor 10:02, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I was just wondering, since the page doesn't mention anything about it, only the other way around. 惑乱 分からん 13:22, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I expanded it a bit. -- Arne List 14:00, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Taken from Nationalbankens website: The Faroese banknotes are regarded as a foreign currency in Denmark thus they are not legal tender in Denmark, nor are Danish banknotes legal tender in the Faroe Islands. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.150.34.27 (talk) 20:12, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Currency
Why is this listed as a separate currency? It's just normal Danish crowns with a different set of banknotes, similar to how banks in Scotland and Northern Island produce their own GBP notes. So if "Faroese crown" is listed as a separate currency, it would also be necessary to list "Bank of Scotland pounds sterling", "Royal Bank of Scotland pounds sterling" etc. as separate currencies, because the difference between those bank notes and the Faroese ones is exactly the same. (218.228.195.44 07:13, 14 July 2006 (UTC))

 * Good observation. This is one instance of a bigger problem. You seem like someone who's interested in currencies. Why don't you create an account and join WikiProject Numismatics. I will start a discussion thread on this issue soon. --Chochopk 10:30, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Couldn't it simply be the fact, that it once was 'free' of the Danish krone, while AFAIK the Scottish £ never has been free from the English £? Mulder1982 00:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Images
Wouldn't this article benefit from images, such as the ones found at the Danish National Bank or Faroese Wikipedia. 惑乱 分からん 15:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Translation in infobox
Currently, færøske kroner (Danish) and føroyska krónan (Faroese). But the translation in infobox should be "dictionary form", i.e. nominative singular. Scandinavian nouns that ends in -er or -n look like plural to me. But I'm not sure. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 05:00, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

 * With more editors editing, we know for sure that Danish krone is "krone" as singular, and "kroner" as plural. The article name on the Danish Wikipedia is spelled da:Danske kroner, clearly plural. Somebody copied "Danske kroner" to the infobox, and some Danish speaking person fixed it. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 05:04, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

 * So, I take it we don't know if it's krona or kronur in Faroese? (forgive the lack of accents). I'm confused because the infobox lists kronur, but the page is at krona, which is not listed as Danish or Faroese. Ingrid 01:55, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

From Føroyska krónan, it seems that føroysk króna is singular, and føroyska krónan is plural in Faroese. Similarly, færøske kroner is plural in Danish. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 12:34, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

 * So why is the plural listed in the infobox? I see that for Danish krone the singular is listed. If there's a reason to use the plural in the infobox, then shouldn't that also be used in the article title? Ingrid 13:26, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Scandinavian nouns ending in -n are not plural forms (and Faroese isn't really a Scandinavian language anyway, in the strictest sense), but rather definite singular. "Krónan" is "the crown". I fixed it - and also the grave error in the exchange rates. --dllu 19:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Føroysk króna, færøsk krone, Faroese crown Føroyska krónan, den færøske krone, the Faroese crown Føroyskar krónur, færøske kroner, Faroese crowns Føroyska krónurnar, de færøske kroner, the Faroese crowns.

 * What's the grave error in exchange rate? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 02:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

 * There was none - my mistake. I guess I was just confused because the currencies were switched around. I still think "1€ = 7,5 kr." would be more logical. --dllu 13:43, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Language use
> Faroese króna > færøsk krone (Danish) > føroysk króna (Faroese)

Here information is given in both Danish and Faroese.

> Subunit > 1/100 	oyra > Symbol 	kr > Plural 	krónur > oyra 	oyrur

Here information is only given in Faroese (and not in Danish: øre/kroner/øre/øre). This seems inconsistent.

As far as I know, both Faroese and Danish are official languages of the Faroe Islands, so maybe all of the information should be given in both languages. (212.247.11.153 17:58, 22 April 2007 (UTC))

Greenlandic krone
Should there be a "Greenlandic krone" article, as well, since Greenland apparently will get their own notes printed in 2008, just as Faroe Islands? 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * 12:59, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Or possibly, in Kalaallisut, apparently Greenlandic kronit(?). 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * 14:36, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, there should be a page for that. I'm not sure what the Greenlandic word for "crown" is. The only sources I could find were and. However, they only tell that the notes will be in Greenlandic, not what the exact wording will be. (Stefan2 11:46, 21 May 2007 (UTC))
 * Since Danish is an official language of Greenland, maybe the name of the currency in the title could be in Danish until someone has further information? (Stefan2 23:35, 21 May 2007 (UTC))

 * As a collector, I'm very excited for the news. But the two links are in Danish. Can someone find an English source or to translate the most important part of these links? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 07:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I found this link, but it doesn't contain much info. All i could find out was that the notes will look similar to the Danish notes in size and color, but with different motives. 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * 10:08, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

The Danish pages tell that it was proposed in 2006 that there would be a Greenlandic banknotes series and that the proposition was accepted in 2007. The banknotes will enter into circulation in 2008. The new notes will have Greenlandic motives and the text on them will be in Greenlandic. The notes will be of the same size and have the same value as the usual Danish notes. (Stefan2 16:35, 23 May 2007 (UTC))
 * Someone added the Greenlandic name of DKK to the DKK page: "danskinut koruuni". Would it be appropriate to assume that the new Greenlandic notes will be referred to as the "Greenlandic koruuni"? (212.247.11.153 11:25, 26 June 2007 (UTC))

 * Actually, there is a Greenland krone. Should it be "Greenlandic"? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 08:17, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Buckfast Tonic Wine

Incorrect, and unvalidated Information
One of the writers from this page is obviously from Coatbridge, and is trying to put a more cool spin on Coatbridge by referring to it, as the "Buckfast Capital" without any reference to such a quote. Most Monklands area is the same place with no real boundary. Airdrie & Coatbridge are pretty much indistuingishable as seperate towns, so any attempt to try and claim "Coatbridge" alone as a capital is erroneous. Please support your quote or leave it out of this entry. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris303 (talk • contribs) 20:30, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Numbers on bottles
I don't want to sound all Wikipedian but do we have any sources regarding the numbers on the bottles? It's just that I've wondered for years what they were about and have heard plenty of different suggestions (syrupy/smooth, different production lines, no difference, etc) and it'd be great if someone had actually gone to the effort to find out for sure.

Also, I've seen bottles between 1-40 (including quite a number of 1s, so they can't be that rare) but I don't think I've ever seen one above that and I knew someone who maintained a complete collection of the numbered bottles. Perhaps this is a difference between the Scottish/Irish versions? Or have I just missed them (quite likely given the effect of the sweet tonic on one's memory)?--Acamon 09:45, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

 * My theory is that the numbers on the bottles themselves are to do with the manufacture rather than what is eventually put in them. I presume the number corresponds to the mould, so that if a faulty batch of bottles are produced then the offending mould can be taken out of service quickly. Another possibility is that it has something to do with the batch of raw glass, or perhaps that is what the dots signify. I am sceptical that the number on the bottle relates to the content because J Chandler will get consignments of bottles in the hundreds, if not more, and it would be difficult to separate bottles by the embossed number. BTW the bottle I bought in Blackpool at the weekend has number 19. Rugxulo 00:02, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

The (fairly incoherent) theory floating around down south is that the numbers relate to how the bottles are stacked in crates - either you get crates of '1s' or you get a crate numbered 1 to 24 or 40 or whatever. This might tie in with the view that lower numbers taste better than higher numbers. Or it might not. The stuff does seem to taste different from bottle to bottle. We should ask the monks i guess ...Mujinga 01:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

As far as I know the numbers on the bottles refer to either:

1. The cask/barrel the wine is from 2. The thickness of the glass

What factual evidence there is to support this I don't know. Maybe a section on "myths" regarding the numbers would be helpfull

I emailed Buckfast manufacturers J Chandler & Co about the numbers and I received the following reply. Bit disappointing really: Thank you for your enquiry.

The numbers on the bottle relate only to the glass bottle manufacturers mould numbers. They have no bearing on or relate to the wine in any way.

Regards

J Chandler & Co (Buckfast) Ltd Franyhi 01:40, 22 March 2007 (UTC)franyhi

yes i went on a pilgrimage to Buckfast Abbey and they told me the same thing in the shop there Mujinga (talk) 21:46, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Nonsense removed
I removed the nonsense about the Convention on Human Rights and the Data Protection Act (which covers data held on computer and is therefore irrelevant to restricting sales of Buckfast - and even if the restrictions were based on electronic databases (HOW unlikely) off-licenses would only have to register with the DPR to comply with the regulations.) -- unsigned comment from user:84.67.70.215

 * Quite right - it sounds like someone's unsourced conjecture. If they'd said that xyz newspaper or abc pressure group had said it might contravene those laws then we should probably have included it, but lacking a source it's not suitable. -- Finlay McWalter |  Talk 15:46, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, I just checked the new Data Protection Act and it does cover paper-based personal data in a "structured" format - nevertheless, an automatic breach of the act would only occur if off-licenses hadn't registered under the Act (and if they'd been told to record the data by the police, it seems likely they would have been told the correct procedure). -- user:84.67.70.215

If you are refering to restrictions on sales of Buckfast in Scotland there is some kind of data base kept. It seems to revolve around off-licences in certain areas being made to keep a list of the serial numbers from each bottle sold. The idea, although it doesn't sound that fullproof, is that when you buy a bottle you have to sign your name (possibly your address as well) then if a crime is committed using the bottle it can be traced back to you. As I said, it doesn't seem like the best system but I know it is in place in some ares on the outskirts of Glasgow.

Up here in East Kilbride they have also started writing on the bottles with ultra violet pens so that any underagers that get caught drinking it they will be able to tell which shop they got it from. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.97.22.70 (talk) 19:23, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Article rearranged
I changed the article to give an overview of the drink's popularity in parts of Scotland and Ireland *before* going on to talk about underage drinking. The bit about "chronic alcoholics" I removed because the controversy is mainly about anti-social behaviour, not about use by heavy and/or alcoholic drinkers, and I have put more emphasis on that issue. Hope this is acceptable. 62.7.141.241 20:36, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

I have added a new reference site for the Glasgow Buckfast Appreciation Society

Buckfast Triangle
As a native of Coatbridge which is the largest of the 3 towns in the "buckfast triangle", I very much doubt that Airdrie, Bellshill and wishaw account for 80% of buckfast sales. The total population of the 3 towns is only around 80,000 which is nothing in comparison to Glasgow (ok, it'd probably be only the east end and south side that'd drink it, but still) or Belfast.

Also this triangle does not even include the two largest towns in their own region North Lanarkshire, Motherwell and Cumbernauld. Plus the article also incorrectly said that South Lanarkshire is in the triangle (which it isnt) which would suggest that buckfast is a problem there too.

Perhaps someone could suggest a more accurate correction? Jizz 03:08, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

 * AIUI the 80% figure came from the Daily Record. I can't find any surviving articles on the Record's website but one of the articles quoted by bawbag.com has this figure. Perhaps the "Buckfast Triangle" is another media invention. It (and the mention of it in the article) probably pre-dates the bother in Auchinleck in 2005 which is mentioned in the article. Rugxulo 21:29, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Aye.. if it was listed in the Daily Retard is must be true.

Mrs Brown
Today I mentioned Buckfast with a friend of mine, a Mrs Brown. She had heard of the nickname "Mrs Brown" for the wine but thought it emanated from south west England (where she has in-laws of that name) and that the nickname is at least 20 years old. I was thinking it had something to do with The Broons. Some information on the origin of this nickname would be quite interesting because unlike many of the other nicknames (Wreck the hoose juice, Ned Champagne etc) it may not be of Scottish or Irish origin. Rugxulo 21:29, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Licence granted on condition Buckfast is not sold
The article mentions that a premises only got a licence on condition Buckfast was not to be sold (I will stick a citation tag there). ISTR reading somewhere that this is untrue, but a prospective licencee promised not to sell the wine in an attempt to make a good impression with the council. If so then the article text is wrong. Rugxulo 21:29, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Northern Ireland, particularily Co. Armagh
I am angry to see that Northern Ireland's not got much of a mention here. It is definitely as popular here as in Scotland. Co. Armagh is of course the county in which Lurgan is, mentioned elsewhere in the article. i may add something in.. Do, although it seems some contributions have been scrapped already Franyhi 20:49, 15 March 2007 (UTC)franyhi

Armagh in Great Britain?
Armagh is not in shite britain but part of our glorious free nation of ireland!!

Hearsay
I met a nice old Irish alcoholic on a bus in Hackney a few years ago. As we shared a bottle of Buckies he told me about how the stuff used to be sold in pharmacies in Ireland. This was good for him after a night of hard drinking, because the pharmacies opened at ten in the morning, a full hour before the pubs, which opened at eleven. Thus, he could get a bottle in before the drinking began again. After a while the dastardly powers that be stopped the sale of Buckies in nonlicensed places and this is why (according to him) they had to put on the label that it contains "no health-giving properties". Cheers! Mujinga 01:14, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Photo
The photo of an empty bottle lying as litter gives a biased impression of the drink. If anyone agrees I will provide a photo of a full bottle standing on a counter. Doobystew 17:11, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately I must agree, the photo is entirely out of keeping with the usually humourless style of Wikipedia and it could be a lot better. You might also want to revert all the vandalism and put some protection on this page, it may be a lot of fun but it is not very encyclopaedic. -- Horkana 17:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Nonsense Sentence
"The monks of Buckfast Abbey are a fine folk,long descended by the crab people before them and their distribution partners strenuously deny that their product is particularly harmful to goats but bears must beweare "pareden, saying that it is irresponsibly and illegally enjoyed by the great majority of underage purchasers." I'm guessing that it is supposed to say something along the liens of "most purchasers enjoy it properly, it is the underage, illegal drinkers that are the problem".  Also, the whole quote deserves a CITE PLZ. --JD79 20:01, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Nicknames
Does the article really need such an extensive list of nicknames, particularly given that nearly all are unsourced? I'd suggest cutting it down to a handful of the most common, and only if they're sourced. Kay Dekker (talk) 19:32, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

 * There are obviously many nicknames and we should list as many as can be reliably cited. Some years ago I did source some of the nicknames from a BBC article, but the citation has gone. Rugxulo (talk) 22:32, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * That section is a perpetual magnet for everyone's favorite or local term. I nuked the whole list as there is currently no cite. DMacks (talk) 06:16, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Here's two references http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/4264059.stm and http://www.flickr.com/photos/rabsda/3161078192/ I personally think it is an important part of documenting the unique cultural aspects of buckfast and its unique cult status in the west of scotland in particular. --cloudo (talk) 07:34, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Definitely important, but definitely only what's citeable. BBC ref is good, so I added the ones it gives. DMacks (talk) 18:45, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * You lot are so retarded! Ooh the nicknames are not cited, ooh we can't put that in. Classic limited thinking. A BBC hack gets a few names off the streets and adds them to an article, but that's OK? Where are the references or sources for those names? But this is the nature of the world now, nothing is "official" till an "official" source says so!? Why are people still bothering with Wikipedia any more? It's not a repository of open-sourced knowledge it's just a dumping ground for the "official" version. So put the nicknames back, or must we all obey what "authority" tells us to do? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.39.48.169 (talk) 12:16, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry but they're too many nicknames and most of them could just as well be made up. Like Cake in Brass Eye's Drugs spoof. it was known on the street as "loonytoad quack", "Joss Ackland's spunky backpack", "ponce on the heath" and "rustledust" etc. All made up names, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.155.67.148 (talk) 10:20, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Reasons for relative English / Scottish / Irish popularity?
The article implies that Buckfast abuse is primarily an issue in Scotland and to a lesser extent Ireland, and my personal experience agrees with this. Buckfast is rarely drunk by any sort of 'problem drinker' in England, whether street drinking alcoholics or underage teenagers - they drink sherry, cheap strong lager, cider or ordinary wine. If anybody knows why the Scots drink Buckfast and the English don't, it would make an interesting addition to the article. Buckfast is of course made in England. --80.176.142.11 (talk) 16:31, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

I believe the answer to this is similar to that given by Mujinga earlier on, "I met a nice old Irish alcoholic on a bus in Hackney a few years ago. As we shared a bottle of Buckies he told me about how the stuff used to be sold in pharmacies in Ireland. This was good for him after a night of hard drinking, because the pharmacies opened at ten in the morning ..." In Scotland was it not the case that pubs were closed on Sunday afternoons - or all day even. If so, then a chemist may have been able to supply wreck the hoos joose. Alanobrien (talk) 07:33, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Location of park photo
I've removed the name of the park on the photo showing an empty bottle on the grass. While the photo may well have been taken at that park, based on the article it could just as easily have been taken at any number of locations, and linking it to a specific site may give the impression that use of Buckfast is endemic to that particular park.

Scotland: Obvious POV of pushing, denial of the facts and WP:COI
Wikipedia is not about the truth. Only what is veriafable. This particular drink is clearly linked to numerous issues in Scotland. Removing referenced details because you don;t like it "John" is a clear violation of numerous rules. What is said is referenced. Therefore removing referenced statement clearly demonstrates that you don't want a WP:NPOV which begs the question why? With all the hoo har on here about "paid" editorships, why are you so determined to down play the problems this brand of drink is causing in Scotland? Wikipedia rules make it clear this site is against WP:CENSORSHIP so why the need to hide the facts? 81.132.174.121 (talk) 12:09, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

WP:SYNTH
Removed this line: "Its high strength (15% ABV/14.8% in the Republic of Ireland), relatively low price and sweetness are characteristics that appeal to under-age drinkers. The reference doesn't mention Buckfast at all; 15% ABV is not "high"; and Buckfast is "relatively expensive". Blackberry Sorbet (talk • contribs) 02:12, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

BIASED to the max
This article is more biased than everything else I have read within the last half year. Somebody is on a crusade against this fashionable drink, unhealthy or not. I don't even like the taste of it, but let us get down to the point. Yesterday it was Teacher's Whiskey, today it is XYZ which the boozers prefer. This is plain ridiculous. The authorities blame the producers instead of blaming lazy parents and an ignorant society for not being able to educate young citizens to be responsible. Blame the car producers for the accidents done with their cars. Good night Britain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:45:491D:7E6:69DA:6FBE:4769:5831 (talk) 23:35, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

"notorious for being a high class beverage consumed by...health and safety professionals and structural engineers alike"
The second paragraph of the lede claims "...Buckfast has become notorious for being a high class beverage consumed by the likes of health and safety professionals and structural engineers alike." No source is cited for this claim, but notwithstanding that failing, it is also a nonsensical statement. "Notorious" is pejorative, but "high-class" is generally considered positive, so "notorious for being...high class" is contradictory. And how the editor who added this settled on "health and safety professionals and structural engineers" as two vastly different markets to cite, to demonstrate the breadth of its appeal is beyond me. Unless anyone can offer a persuasive argument for retaining this sentence, I'm going to strike it. Bricology (talk) 07:56, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:In flagrante delicto

For a July 2005 deletion debate see Votes for deletion/In flagrante delicto

The paragraph about Brazilian and Italian usage isn't clear. Does "the same meaning" refer to the latin meaning, or the colloquial meaning? It's unclear, since the previous paragraph is about the colloquial meaning.

On a related note, there should probably be a reference for the "sometimes used colloquially" paragraph. Where is it used like that? I know I've heard it in the USA but I have no idea if it's used that way in any other countries or languages. Animatorgeek (talk) 16:49, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I was wondering about the reference to the ablative absolute. I think that is not the correct term in thix case, the ablative is simply because of the preposition "in". Any classists care to comment on this? 195.237.82.70 (talk) 11:12, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Exactly right. "In flagrante delicto" is a prepositional phrase, not an ablative absolute. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.231.253.132 (talk) 15:24, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

When someone writes in flagrante dilecto, is that a mistake or a pun?--87.162.5.84 (talk) 22:07, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

The closest literal translation would be "in blazing offence". Surely "flagrant" would be a closer translation than "blazing"? --2A02:C7D:C5DD:7600:75F9:95F3:D45:4600 (talk) 07:28, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Greece national rugby league team

The Greece national rugby league team (Greek: Ελλάδα εθνική ομάδα ράγκμπι λίγκ) represents Greece in rugby league. The team has been participating in international competition since 2003.

Administered by the Greek Rugby League Association since 2017, the team is coached by Greek Australian Steve Georgallis.

Early years (2003–12)
Greek Rugby League was first formed in Australia by Australians with Greek heritage. The founder of the Greek Rugby League was Kostadino Mylonas.

The team first played international fixtures in 2003. Greece played a warm-up match against New Caledonia in late August winning the encounter 10–26. In September of that year, the Greece national team played their debut RLIF sanctioned game against Italy in September. The game was played in Australia at Jubilee Oval for the inaugural Ionio Cup. Greece were narrowly defeated 26–24.

In October 2005, Greece played an international match in Australia against Malta which they lost 24 points to 22 in front of an estimated crowd of 6,500. Greece then played a warm up match against Fiji A at OKI Jubilee Stadium in front of 1103 spectators. Fiji, who had just qualified for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup, won the match 34–12.

On 28 October 2006, Greece played Serbia in the debut international match on Greek soil. Greece, supported by Greek-heritage players from Australia, won 44–26 in front of 150 home fans of the Glyka Nera Football Club, Athens. Greece were coached by former Western Suburbs Magpies player Steve Georgallis.

Greece won their first ever Rugby League Championship in 2009 when they won the Australian Mediterranean Shield, defeating Italy in the Final 34–14. This was the first competition that the Greek side had competed in. The Greeks were captained by Wests Tigers player John Skandalis. Greece did not qualify for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup.

Domestic federation founded (2013–16)
2013 saw the creation of a domestic Rugby League competition in Greece. This competition was originally governed by the Hellenic Federation of Rugby League (HFRL).

On 27 October 2013 Greece defeated Hungary 90–0 in an international match played in Budapest in front of 500 spectators. The Greek side featured a mixture of players from the Greek domestic competition (8) and Australian-based (9) players including Braith Anasta and Michael Korkidas. Anasta kicked 15 goals from 15 attempts and scored 46 points in the win.

In October 2014, Greece were crowned European Championship C champions after beating Czech Republic in the final. This was their second international tournament victory

Later in the same month, Greece competed in the inaugural Balkans Cup tournament held in Serbia. They beat the hosts in the final to win their third international tournament to add to their trophy cabinet, second in over a week.

Matthew Ashill was the coach of the team for the 2015 European C/2017 Rugby League World Cup qualifying tournament and on 13 September 2015 he named a 22-man train-on squad with only domestic club players which caused controversy as it was a key event coming up for the national rugby league team. He explained his decision saying "We have a totally new plan using just domestic players who will contribute to the growth and development of the sport here".

In April 2016, the HFRL was suspended from the Rugby League European Federation (RLEF) following a year-long investigation for "wilfully acting in a manner prejudicial to the interests of the RLEF and international rugby league." The HRFL was expelled from the RLEF in August 2016 for failing to meet membership requirements.

New administration, 2021 World Cup qualification (2017– )
In March 2017, the Greek Rugby League Association (GRLA) was recognised by the RLEF as the official governing body for rugby league in Greece, gaining observer status. In March 2018 the GRLA were rewarded for what the RLEF described as "significant progress rebuilding the national governing body and revamping its competition structure, with the support of the Greek Australian community" by being granted affiliate status.

In September 2018, Greece began their qualification path for the 2021 Rugby League World Cup by winning the European Championship C South conference. They defeated Ukraine 28–26 at Dynamo Stadium (Kharkiv) and Malta Rugby League 60–4 at Glyka Nera Stadium, Athens.

In May 2019, Greece faced European Championship C North conference winners Norway at New River Stadium, London, in the European Championship C decider. The match served as a curtain raiser to the League 1 round 9 fixture between London Skolars and Doncaster, Greece defeated Norway 56–26 to progress to the final stages of World Cup qualifiers.

In November 2019, Greece qualified for the 2021 Rugby League World Cup after participating in the final round of European World Cup Qualifiers in Pool B with matches against Scotland and Serbia. Greece were unable to host their designated match against Scotland, as the Greek state did not recognise the Greek Rugby League Association. Instead, the match was played in London at New River Stadium on 1 November. Greece were defeated 42–24.

The remaining match in Pool B saw Greece play Serbia, with the winners advancing to the 2021 Rugby League World Cup. Greece defeated Serbia 82–6 at Makiš Stadium, Belgrade.

On 16 January 2020, Greece were drawn into Group A of the 2021 Rugby League World Cup with England, Samoa and France.

They then entered the 2020 European Championship B where they were due to play against Russia and Serbia.

As of July 2022, the Greek state announced its recognition    of the Greek Rugby League Association and that games are free to take place on home soil without intervention.

Greece started their 2021 Rugby League World Cup campaign with a 34-12 loss against France in Doncaster. This was followed by a 72-4 loss against Samoa. In their final group stage match, Greece suffered their worst ever defeat losing to England 94-4 at Bramall Lane in Sheffield.

British Rail Class 455

The British Rail Class 455 is an electric multiple unit passenger train built by BREL between 1982 and 1985. It is operated on suburban services in Greater London and Surrey by South Western Railway, as well as formerly by Southern.

Description
The Class 455 was originally to be classified as the Class 510, which were planned as a 750 V DC version of the. However, as the chopper control system at the time was not considered robust enough for the electrically rougher third rail Southern Region, they were fitted with GEC Traction camshaft-control systems instead. The Class 510 designation was changed to Class 455.

The class has the same bodyshell as the and, but as they were designed for inner suburban services they do not feature first class seating, air conditioning or toilet facilities and are restricted to 75 mph (121 km/h). Like the Class 317/318, as well as the diesel, they are based on the British Rail Mark 3, with a steel construction, unlike the earlier PEP based , , , and , which had an aluminium alloy body.

A total of 505 carriages were built by British Rail Engineering Limited's Holgate Road carriage works and together with 43 existing trailers from Class 508s, formed 137 four-car sets. The 455s allowed the and  to be withdrawn, as well as allowing the Class 508s to be transferred to the Merseyside network for which they were originally intended. They also allowed other stock to be cascaded to the North London and Oxted lines.

There were three batches of Class 455s, all consisting of four cars: driving trailer vehicles at each end, an intermediate trailer vehicle and an intermediate motorised vehicle (powered by four EE507-20J of 185 kW carried on the bogies of the MSO vehicle, some recovered from Class 405s), all originally built to the standard class 3+2 seating arrangement with 316 seats. Technically, they are formed DTSO+MSO+TSO+DTSO.

Class 455/8
The Class 455/8s were built between 1982 and 1984. These include all 46 units formerly operated by Southern (allocated to Stewarts Lane depot) and 28 allocated to South Western Railway (at Wimbledon depot).

The last day of service of the Southern Class 455/8s was 14 May 2022.

Class 455/7
The Class 455/7s were built in 1984–1985. There are 43 four-car units, all allocated to South Western Railway at Wimbledon depot. They differ from the 455/8s in having a revised front end (air horns relocated next to the coupler and revised headlamp clusters) that was later used on Class 317/2 and units.

No new intermediate trailer (TSO) vehicles were produced for this subclass; instead, they use redundant TSO vehicles that had been removed from units prior to those units being transferred to Merseyrail in Liverpool. The reused vehicles can be recognised by their shorter and wider profile compared to 'normal' Class 455 vehicles.

Class 455/9
The Class 455/9s were built in 1985, and all 20 units are allocated to South Western Railway at Wimbledon depot. These are similar to the 455/7s, except that they had new-build TSOs.

In connection with the Crossrail project, which was rejected in 1994, two trailer cars (71731 from unit 5918; 71732 from unit 5919) were modified to take plug doors. Both were coupled and ran in service in this condition. After an extended period in service, it was found that the modifications had slightly weakened the overall structure. 71732 was re-fitted with sliding doors but 71731 was removed from service, remaining at Eastleigh Works to be cannibalised for spare parts. The latter car served as a demonstrator for the South West Trains refurbished full red livery until it was scrapped in 2005.

Two units later gained replacement carriages that had originally been part of the prototype DEMU, which had the same bodyshell. 455912's TSO was replaced by 67400. 455913's MSO 62838, which had been crushed by a cement mixer lorry falling off a bridge, was replaced with 67301, which had originally been a Class 210 DTSO and was later a DMSO in the experimental. The undamaged end of 62838 was used to replace the former cab end of 67301; the remainder of 62838 was scrapped.

South West Trains / South Western Railway
In February 1996, all South Western division 455s were transferred to South West Trains (SWT). From September 1996, SWT began to modify the Network SouthEast livery with a Stagecoach orange brand added. In November 2004, SWT took delivery of the first unit refurbished by Bombardier, Ashford. The work involved replacing the original seats with high-back Grammar seats (similar to those fitted to units) in 2+2 configuration, modifying the doorways so that the sliding doors can open further, and the repainting of the units in a new predominantly-red livery. The last was completed in March 2008.

In April 2013, it was announced that the SWT units would be fitted with a new alternating current traction system provided by Vossloh Kiepe. The project works commenced in June 2014 and involved replacing the original pneumatically-actuated camshaft control system with a solid-state insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) inverter and variable-voltage/variable-frequency (VVVF) drive, and exchanging the as-built English Electric DC traction motors with new AC units. The upgraded units also received new Knorr-Bremse brake controllers, which allows regenerative braking in addition to the existing rheostatic function.

The new traction motors are each 500 kg lighter than the DC originals, and the traction system upgrade as a whole improves reliability and reduces overall operating and maintenance costs. Additionally, as the upgrade reduced the amount of time Class 455 units spent being inspected and serviced in depots, South West Trains were able to proceed with the introduction of new units without needing to acquire more depot space.

All units passed to South Western Railway with the South Western franchise change in August 2017. They are used on most London commuter rail routes from London Waterloo to South West London and neighbouring areas.

In early 2024, to mark the upcoming withdrawal of the Class 455s, unit 455868 was repainted into a BR Blue and Grey livery.

A farewell tour for the Class 455 is planned for early 2025 and is planned to use 455868 along with another unit.

British Rail
Deliveries commenced in 1982 to Strawberry Hill. On 16 November 1982, 455805 was unveiled at Waterloo station. The first entered service on 28 March 1983. All were initially allocated to Wimbledon Depot working services on the Central and South Western divisions. The Central Division 455/8s were transferred to Selhurst in 1986 after modifications to the depot were completed. All were delivered in British Rail blue and grey livery; it had been anticipated that some or all 455/9s would be painted in a green variant of the 'Jaffa Cake' London & SouthEast livery, but this was overruled by the BR Design Panel. From 1986 all 455s were progressively repainted in Network SouthEast white, blue and red livery. In May 1991, 455743 was renumbered 455750 and renamed Wimbledon Traincare Depot in recognition of the depot obtaining BS5750 quality services accreditation.

During April 1994, amid the lead up to the privatisation of British Rail, 455801-455846 were allocated to the Network SouthCentral shadow franchise and sold to Eversholt. The remainder were allocated to the South West Trains shadow franchise and sold to Porterbrook.

Connex South Central / Southern
On 13 October 1996, the Network SouthCentral shadow franchise was taken over by Connex South Central with 455801-455846. In the late 1990s, 16 were repainted in Connex's white and yellow livery. In August 2001, the franchise passed to Southern with all 46 transferred. Some were repainted in Southern's white and green livery. Between February 2004 and February 2006, all were refurbished by Alstom at Eastleigh Works. New 3+2 high back seating as fitted to the and the removal of cab end gangways to facilitate the installation of driver's air-conditioning were notable features.

A second refurbishment programme started for the Southern units in June 2012. This included a repaint and interior changes, such as changes to the grab rails on the top between each door. 455808 was the first completed, followed by 455812 in August 2012. The project was completed in December 2013, 455801 being the last unit.

A third refurbishment programme began in January 2018 for the 455s to become compliant with the PRM 2020 specifications with 455816 being the first one completed.

Southern Class 455 units were used on inner and outer suburban services out of London to destinations in South London and Surrey, before being withdrawn in May 2022. They will not be directly replaced, as the new timetable will be operated by Southern's Class 377 EMUs. A farewell tour for the Southern Class 455 units took place on 14 May 2022.

The first pair of Southern class 455s (455838 and 455839) were sent for scrap on 4 May 2022.

Accidents and incidents

 * On 18 February 1990, unit 455820 collided with a fallen tree obstructing the line at Gipsy Hill and was derailed. Unit 5802 then collided with 5820.
 * 2010 Oxshott rail accident: On 5 November 2010, a concrete mixer went over the edge of a bridge over the railway line near Oxshott station, landing on the 15:05 South West Trains service from Guildford railway station to London Waterloo. The train was formed of two Class 455 units, 455741 and 455913. The end of the roof of the sixth carriage was severely crushed. Further damage was sustained to the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth carriages, with the latter being derailed at its trailing bogie, although the train remained upright. The lorry driver and one passenger suffered serious injuries; a further five passengers suffered minor injuries. Unit 455913 was repaired at Wolverton railway works, at a cost of £1.6 million, and returned to service in July 2013. It was also fitted with an ex driving vehicle which has been converted to an intermediate vehicle whilst retaining its existing number of 67301. Original vehicle 62838 was damaged beyond repair in the accident and was scrapped.
 * On 7 July 2017, an explosion occurred in an underframe equipment case of unit 455901 at Guildford station. Debris was thrown up to 70 m away. No injuries occurred. The cause of the explosion was a faulty capacitor which had been fitted when the units' electrical equipment was upgraded. A manufacturing defect in the new traction equipment has caused three failures in service and five under test. Two of the failures in service involved unit 455726, the other involved unit 455901. In the most serious incident, on 7 July 2017, fragments, described as "quite sizeable" by the Rail Accident Investigation Branch, were scattered across platforms and an adjacent car park at Guildford station.
 * On 15 August 2017, two Class 455 units formed part of a train with Class 456 unit 456015 which was derailed at London Waterloo. The cause of the accident was errors made in the wiring of the signalling during work to increase capacity at Waterloo. Neither of the Class 455 units was damaged.

Future
South Western Railway had intended to replace its fleet with Class 701 Aventra units from 2019; however this was initially deferred to mid-2020 and was deferred again to 2021. The Class 701 Aventra EMUs entered service on 9 January 2024.

To commemorate the class, unit 455868 was repainted into a blue and grey BR-inspired livery and entered service on 7 March 2024.

Charnwood is a suburb in the Belconnen district of Canberra located within the Australian Capital Territory, Australia.

Design
Charnwood's estate design was based on the Radburn principle. Under this design, houses were to face common parkland, with the suburb's streets servicing garages situated at the rear of the houses. The design failed in its application, however, as home owners built fences around the "park side" of their blocks, effectively screening the houses away from the common parkland. This created long, narrow, fenced walkways, with poor lighting and no neighbourhood surveillance. The original design for the network of pathways was to make it possible to walk from any point in the suburb to any other without directly crossing a road; pedestrian bridges can be used to cross the few major streets within the suburb.

Charnwood is the location of the Charnwood centre shopping area which serves surrounding suburbs. The shopping centre includes several fast food outlets, a branch of the Labor Club, a Shell Service Station and a Woolworths. An emergency services station incorporating ambulance, fire and rescue services was opened in October 2013 by the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, and is located near the Charnwood shops at the south-west corner of Lhotsky Street and Tillyard Drive abutting Ginninderra Dr.

Education
Charnwood is home to Charnwood-Dunlop Primary School, Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Primary School, Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church and Charnwood High School (now closed and housing the Canberra Christian Life Centre and the Brindabella Christian College Charnwood Campus).

Naming
According to the Act Planning and Land Authority website, the suburb is named after: "[a] former homestead in the Belconnen District; Henry Hall obtained a grant of 3492 acre of land which he named 'Charnwood', 1833; named after the Forest of Charnwood in England."

Street names in Charnwood are named after New South Wales pioneers and the suburb name 'Charnwood' was gazetted on 9 September 1971.

Interests
From 2004 to 2018 there was an annual carnival call the 'Charny Carny', a unique event which benefited Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Primary School, Charnwood-Dunlop Primary School and Mount Rogers Scout Group. This carnival had the traditional purpose of building community spirit and donates funds for both the schools and the Scout Group.

On 4 March 2020 the West Belconnen Charny Carny Association Incorporated who run the Charny Carny announced that the carnival would no longer be running, due to not having enough volunteers on the committee to run the event.

Sporting facilities
The Charnwood District Playing Fields are home to the Ginninderra "The Tigers" athletics club during the track season (October – March).

Governance
For the purposes of Australian federal elections for the House of Representatives, Charnwood is in the seat of Fenner.

For the purposes of Australian Capital Territory elections for the ACT Legislative Assembly, Charnwood is in the Ginninderra electorate.

Geology
Rocks in Charnwood are from the Silurian age. Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite is found in most of Charnwood. The Deakin Fault passes in the north west direction on the north east edge of the Deakin Volcanics, The fault dropped down the Deakin Volcanics and raised up the south west side. Hawkins Volcanics green-grey dacite and quartz andesite are in the north east on the other side of Deakin Fault.

Talk:Mayfly

Bioturbation
I've temporarily removed a very short section on bioturbation, namely "Burrowing mayfly nymphs serve an important role in nutrient uptake and maintaining the food web in freshwater lakes." It was uncited (surely rectifiable) and did not deserve a section all to itself (it would fit well in the existing Ecology section), far less the proposed reorganisation of the article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:18, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Proposed updates
I am proposing some additions to this page as follows:

1) I would like to add information about the Mayfly monument located in Hungary to the culture section under art subsection. 2) I would like to add information about mayflies functioning as filter feeders and their role in removing bacteria from streams in the ecosystem functioning section. 3) I would also like to add more information about the mayfly's role as a bioindicator. I feel as though this requires more than the one sentence it now compromises.

Cfitch5 (talk) 23:31, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Quick note
I added the name of Crabbe's satirical poem, "The Newspaper", to the lead. ("satirical" is an easy description if you read it ... the article link goes to a Project Gutenberg copy ... and it's generally described that way by RSs.) - Dank (push to talk) 16:57, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Both things being known as ephemera was right, however, which was of course the reason for Crabbe's comparison. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:36, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Subimagos live for one day. Or several. Depends on which paragraph you read.
"After a period, usually lasting one or two days but in some species only a few minutes ..." is in the section Subimago.

"The subimago stage does not survive for long, rarely for more than 24 hours," is in the section "Reproduction and life cycle".

Not congruent.

Thought I'd mention. IAmNitpicking (talk) 13:13, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

WP:URFA/2020
this article has more MOS:SANDWICHing of text between images than I feel comfortable trying to resolve myself. You can look at the India article for some ideas on how to configure a lot of images. You might also just reduce some, in case they are decorative and not really adding to reader understanding of the topic. Between the quotes and the images on both sides of the page, reading gets rough in the "In human culture" section. It would also be helpful to check throughout and either add "as of" dates or check for new data. For example, "Over 3,000 species of mayfly in 42 families and over 400 genera are known worldwide,[40] ... " is cited to 2008. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  21:54, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The "In human culture" section is your cup of tea! I will do some checking as suggested by SandyGeorgia. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:59, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I've formatted the human culture images. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:43, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Czech Academy of Sciences

The Czech Academy of Sciences (abbr. CAS, Akademie věd České republiky, abbr. AV ČR) was established in 1992 by the Czech National Council as the Czech successor of the former Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and its tradition goes back to the Royal Bohemian Society of Sciences (founded in 1784) and the Emperor Franz Joseph Czech Academy for Sciences, Literature and Arts (founded in 1890). The academy is the leading non-university public research institution in the Czech Republic. It conducts both fundamental and strategic applied research.

It has three scientific divisions, namely the Division of Mathematics, Physics, and Earth Sciences, Division of Chemical and Life Sciences, and Division of Humanities and Social Sciences. The academy currently manages a network of sixty research institutes and five supporting units staffed by a total of 6,400 employees, over one half of whom are university-trained researchers and Ph.D. scientists.

The Head Office of the academy and forty research institutes are located in Prague, the remaining institutes being situated throughout the country.

History
The establishment of the academy in 1992 follows several previous organizations:
 * Royal Czech Society of Doctrines (Královská česká společnost nauk), 1784–1952
 * (Česká akademie věd a umění), 1890–1952
 * Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences (Československá akademie věd), 1953-1992

In 2010 the academy adopted an open access policy to make its research outputs free to read and reuse.

Institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences

The official structure of the CAS consists of three areas (sciences about inanimate nature, life sciences, and humanities), each with three sections. Each of these 9 sections contains between 4 and 8 institutes. An institute is divided further into departments, laboratories, or working teams, depending on the size and the topic of the institute.

Bert van Marwijk

Lambertus van Marwijk (born 19 May 1952) is a Dutch football manager who serves as an advisor for MVV Maastricht. As a player, he played for the Go Ahead Eagles, AZ, MVV and Fortuna Sittard amongst other clubs and also represented the Netherlands once.

In 1982, van Marwijk began his transition into a manager, retiring as a player in 1988 and becoming a full-time manager. In 2002, he won the UEFA Cup with Feyenoord. Van Marwijk managed the Netherlands from 2008 until June 2012 and guided the country to the 2010 FIFA World Cup final, which was lost 1–0 in extra-time to Spain. He left this position after losing all three matches at UEFA Euro 2012. He qualified Saudi Arabia for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, where he coached Australia.

Playing career

Van Marwijk was born in Deventer, Overijssel. As a forward and a midfielder, he played 393 matches in the Dutch highest division, the Eredivisie. He began his career at Go Ahead Eagles, his hometown club. After six seasons, he left Deventer and started to play in Alkmaar, for AZ. In 1978, he moved to MVV Maastricht, playing there for eight seasons before playing one season for Fortuna Sittard. He ended his playing career in 1988 after playing one season for the Belgium Football Club Assent. Van Marwijk had opportunities to play for bigger clubs like Feyenoord or West Ham United, but because of injuries he never made a big transfer.

In 1975, van Marwijk was called up by Rinus Michels to play for the Dutch national team in a friendly match against Yugoslavia, which was his only cap.

Early years
Van Marwijk began his professional managerial career at his former club Fortuna Sittard. His side finished seventh in the Eredivisie in 1998, and reached the KNVB Cup final in 1999. Fortuna had players like Mark van Bommel, Kevin Hofland and Wilfred Bouma during that period.

Feyenoord
In 2000, van Marwijk became the manager of Rotterdam-based club Feyenoord. In his first season, he led Feyenoord to a second-place finish in the Eredivisie and in his second season, 2001–02, he had one of the biggest successes of his career. After beating SC Freiburg, Rangers, PSV and Internazionale in the knock-out stage, he won the UEFA Cup final after beating Borussia Dortmund in the final, 3–2. In October 2002 he extended his contract until the summer of 2004, with the option of one more year. Feyenoord ended in third place in the league with van Marwijk in the 2001–02, 2002–03 and 2003–04 seasons.

Borussia Dortmund
In June 2004, van Marwijk became manager of German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund on a two-year deal after Matthias Sammer moved to VfB Stuttgart.

In both of his first two seasons with Dortmund, 2004–05 and 2005–06, he ended seventh in the Bundesliga table. During his third season, his side was stagnating, situated mid-table in ninth, whereupon van Marwijk and the club announced that they would part ways at the end of the 2006–07 season. On 18 December 2006, however, Dortmund and van Marwijk parted company earlier than announced.

Feyenoord
In June 2007, van Marwijk returned to Feyenoord, also bringing back Feyenoord veteran Giovanni van Bronckhorst from Barcelona. He also brought in Tim de Cler, Kevin Hofland and Roy Makaay, and with this Feyenoord squad, he won the KNVB Cup in 2008 after beating Roda JC 2–0 in the final.

Netherlands national team

Van Marwijk's return to Feyenoord would be short-lived; before the end of the 2007–08 season, it was announced van Marwijk would succeed Marco van Basten as head coach of the Dutch national team after UEFA Euro 2008. During his two spells as coach of Feyenoord, five seasons in total, they would finish second once, in 2000–01. Van Marwijk was succeeded at Feyenoord by Gertjan Verbeek.

Van Marwijk's management staff as Dutch coach included former internationals Frank de Boer and Phillip Cocu, as well as Dick Voorn. In the 2010 World Cup, van Marwijk led the Dutch to the final against Spain after defeating Slovakia in the round of 16, Brazil in the quarter-finals and Uruguay in the semi-finals. They lost, however, 1–0 in extra time. He opted for a very hard style of play, especially during the final, in strong contrast with the Dutch football tradition.

On 8 December 2011, van Marwijk extended his contract with the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) for four more years through to the summer of 2016, including participation in the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016 tournaments. At the Euro 2012 tournament, however, the Dutch ended up without a single point and being widely criticized, prompting van Marwijk to resign on 27 June.

Hamburg
On 26 September 2013, van Marwijk became the head coach of German side Hamburger SV after refusing offers from Southampton and Sporting CP. On 8 February, Hamburg lost for their sixth consecutive league match and gave up three goals in their fifth-straight league match. The supervisory board at Hamburg met on 9 February 2014 to discuss the future of van Marwijk, opting to let him continue in his role. He was then, however, sacked on 15 February after Hamburg lost 4–2 to Eintracht Braunschweig. Hamburg had lost seven-straight league matches and a DFB-Pokal loss to Bayern Munich. His assistant coach, Roel Coumans, was sacked as well. Van Marwijk lasted 143 days at the helm of Hamburg.

Saudi Arabia national team
On 26 August 2015, van Marwijk became the new manager of the Saudi Arabia national team on a one-year contract. On 3 September 2015, he managed his first game, winning 7–0 against East Timor in the 2018 Asian World Cup qualifiers. On 24 March 2016, he clinched qualification to the third (final) round by winning 2–0 against Malaysia. After criticism from local media for not staying in the country and watching league games, van Marwijk helped Saudi Arabia to directly qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in their last game against Japan – their fifth FIFA World Cup and first since 2006. Days after their last qualifying match, he left his job having been unable to agree on a new contract with the Saudi Arabian Football Federation.

Australia national team
On 24 January 2018, van Marwijk was appointed as the new head coach of the Australian national team on a short-term deal until the end of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. On his debut on 23 March, the team lost 4–1 to Norway in a friendly in Oslo, followed four days later by a goalless draw with Colombia in England. In warmups ahead of the finals, the Socceroos beat the Czech Republic and Hungary; the 4–0 win over the former was that country's record defeat. Australia were eliminated from the group stage in Russia, with one draw and two losses.

UAE national team
On 20 March 2019, van Marwijk became the new manager of the United Arab Emirates national team. On 4 December that year, the nation's football association announced his sacking following their 4–2 defeat to rivals Qatar in the 24th Arabian Gulf Cup.

Van Marwijk returned to the same post on 14 December 2020. At the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup in Qatar, the team lost 5–0 in the quarter-finals to their rivals. He was sacked again on 12 February 2022, with the team confirmed out of the automatic places in 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification with two games left.

Personal life
Van Marwijk's daughter, Andra, married the Dutch international footballer Mark van Bommel. Their sons Thomas and Ruben van Bommel made their professional football debuts with MVV Maastricht in the early 2020s.

In June 2022, Van Marwijk received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Rinus Michels Awards for Dutch football managers.

The Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) is an institution which forms a part of the four museums in Singapore, the other three being the Peranakan Museum, the National Museum of Singapore and the Singapore Art Museum.

It is one of the pioneering museums in the region to specialise in pan-Asian cultures and civilisations. The museum specialises in the material history of China, Southeast Asia, South Asia and West Asia, from which the diverse ethnic groups of Singapore trace their ancestry.

The museum first opened at the Old Tao Nan School building on 22 April 1997 at Armenian Street, with exhibits largely centred on Chinese civilisation. With the restoration of the Empress Place Building, the museum established its new flagship museum there on 2 March 2003, rapidly expanding the collection to other areas of Asia. The Armenian Street branch closed for renovations on 1 January 2006 and reopened on 25 April 2008 as the Peranakan Museum, specialising in Peranakan culture.

On 16 September 2006, the Museum officially launched its new logo with a new slogan The Asian Civilisations Museum – Where Asian Cultures Come Alive!. The logo shows the museum's location by the Singapore River. The reflected image highlights the Museum as a place for reflection while the orange represents activity and energy.

In late 2013, after undergoing a rebranding exercise, the Museum launched its new logo with a new slogan Singapore's Museum of Asia.

On 16 September 2014, the Museum was named the top museum in Singapore and ranked ninth in Asia by TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice awards. The Museum was the only Singapore museum ranked among Asia's top 10 museums.

On 15 November 2015, the Museum unveiled its new spaces after it started its revamp in 2014. The revamp is carried out in phases: Phase 1 was unveiled on 14 November 2015. Phase 2 was completed in April 2016, with further enhancements to follow.

On 1 September 2016, Kennie Ting took over the position of director of the Museum.

Collection highlights
The Chinese collection is represented by fine Dehua porcelain figures, Taoist and Buddhistic statuary, export porcelain, calligraphy and other examples of decorative art.

The South Asian Galleries feature statuary from a range of periods, including Chola bronzes such as a sculpture of Uma, the consort of Shiva and of Somaskanda. The early Buddhist art of India is also represented by works hailing from the Mathura and Gandhara schools, including a rare sandstone Mathura Buddha dating to the Kanishka era, and the head of a Gandharan Bodhisattva. Other areas of note include South Indian woodwork, Nepali-Tibetan bronzes, textiles, late medieval miniatures and colonial prints.

The Southeast Asian collections are broad in scope and are rich in ethnological material. Representing the aristocratic art of ancient Southeast Asia are Khmer sculptures, Javanese temple sculpture (some on loan from Leiden), later Buddhist art from Burma/Thailand and the Sinicised temple art of Vietnam. Peranakan gold, textiles, tribal ornament and theatrical masks are other strengths of the collection.

The Khoo Teck Puat Gallery is the permanent home for the cargo recovered from the Tang Shipwreck, a sunken 9th century trading ship bound for Iran and Iraq, discovered in 1998 off Belitung Island in the Java Sea. The recovered cargo comprises more than 60,000 well-preserved ceramics produced in China during the Tang dynasty (618–907), as well as objects of gold and silver.

Certain gallery rooms are also used for temporary exhibitions. A recent exhibition included the display of Bronze Age masks from Sanxingdui, Sichuan Province, China.

On June 25, 2021, the museum launched an exhibition titled #SGFASHIONNOW. The exhibition, which is a collaboration between Lasalle College of the Arts’ School of Fashion and the Textile and Fashion Federation (TaFF), is the first by the museum to showcase contemporary Singapore fashion.

Facilities
The museum has a restaurant, Empress, featuring traditional Chinese dishes in a contemporary setting, and a café, Privé ACM, offering all day dining. There are ballrooms and halls available for functions. The museum shop has souvenirs and a wide range of books on Asian art.

The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS, so keep. Although this is plainly an infested AfD, there are only three editors who would delete it. I'd have to be utterly brutal to discount so many of the keeps as to find that a consensus (and I recognise on sight at least 3 of the usernames). -Splash 23:01, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Delete Unencyclopedic and neologistic. Obscure term, and not approporiate. Nobody uses this term, and the author is wasting server space with some perverse inside joke. And sorry, the argument that "I hear this on campus all the time" doesn't fly. It's not a mainstream term, 99% don't know what it means. Also there is already a page devoted to listing ethnic slurs, so why make a whole page? Momenchance 10:37, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
