Charles Gore

Charles Gore (22 January 1853 – 17 January 1932) was a Church of England bishop, first of Worcester, then Birmingham, and finally of Oxford. He was one of the most influential Anglican theologians of the 19th century, helping reconcile the church to some aspects of biblical criticism and scientific discovery, while remaining Catholic in his interpretation of the faith and sacraments. Also known for his social action, Gore became an Anglican bishop and founded the monastic Community of the Resurrection as well as co-founded the Christian Social Union. He was the chaplain to Queen Victoria and King Edward VII.

Early life and career
Charles Gore was born on 22 January 1853 into an Anglo-Irish aristocratic family as the third son of Hon. Charles Alexander Gore (1811-1897), grandson of Arthur Gore, 2nd Earl of Arran, and Lady Augusta Lavinia Priscilla, a daughter of John William Ponsonby, 4th Earl of Bessborough. His brother Spencer was the first winner of the Wimbledon Championships.

Gore was raised in a low-church Anglican family and was confirmed by the church at the age of eight years. He was attracted to the high-church sacramental tradition and ritualism of Anglo-Catholicism at a young age, later writing "I have since my childhood been what I may call a Catholic by mental constitution". Around the age of nine years, he read Grace Kennedy's anti-Catholic novel Father Clement. The book served as his introduction to the high-church tradition and, instead of having his Protestantism reinforced as the author had intended, he found himself entranced by the Catholic tradition. He would later write of it: "I had been brought up in ordinary old-fashioned English Church ways. I had only attended very Low Church services. I had never heard of the Oxford Movement. I knew nothing about Catholicism, except as a strange superstition called Popery. But the book described confession and absolution, fasting, the Real Presence, the devotion of the Three Hours, the use of incense, etc., and I felt instinctively, and at once, that this sort of sacramental religion was the religion for me."

In his evidence given before the Ecclesiastical Discipline Commission in 1905 he said: "I was what people call a ritualist from the time I was a boy, and I have been more interested I suppose in this subject through all the time of my growing up into manhood than in almost any other ...

I love, as I hardly love anything in the world physically, except the beauties of nature, that type and kind of ceremonial worship, which is called ritualistic by many people and Catholic by its maintainers. It appears to me personally to be the one kind of ceremonial worship which really expresses my feelings, and in which I feel really at home."

In his adolescence, he began attending churches "that offered a richer sacramental ceremonial."

Gore's parents sent him to Harrow School, London, in 1866, where he excelled academically. He then went to Balliol College, Oxford, in 1871, where he supported the trade-union movement. He graduated from Oxford in 1875 with a first-class degree in literae humaniores.

In 1875, Gore was elected a fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, and he lectured there from 1876 to 1880. Gore was ordained to the Anglican diaconate in December 1876 and to the priesthood in December 1878. From 1880 to 1883, he served as vice-principal of Cuddesdon Theological College. He received Honorary Doctor of Divinity degrees from various universities, including University of Athens, University of Birmingham, University of Oxford, Durham University, and University of Edinburgh.

Theologian at Pusey House
When, in 1884, Pusey House was founded at Oxford, in part as a memorial to Edward Bouverie Pusey, and as a home for Pusey's library, Gore was appointed as principal, a position he held until 1893. As Principal of Pusey House, he exercised wide influence over undergraduates and the younger clergy and it was largely under this influence that the Oxford Movement underwent a change which to surviving Tractarians seemed to involve a break with its basic principles. Puseyism had been in the highest degree conservative, basing itself on authority and tradition and repudiating compromise with the modern critical and liberalising spirit. Gore, starting from the same basis of faith and authority, found from experience in dealing with the doubts and difficulties of the younger generation that this uncompromising attitude was untenable and set himself the task of reconciling the principle of authority in religion with that of scientific authority, by attempting to define the boundaries of their respective spheres of influence. To him the divine authority of the Catholic Church was an axiom.

In 1889, he published two works, the larger of which, The Church and the Ministry, is a learned vindication of the principle of apostolic succession in the episcopate against the Presbyterians and other Reformed church bodies, while the second, Roman Catholic Claims, is a defence, in more popular form, of Anglicanism and Anglican ordinations and sacraments against the criticisms of Roman Catholic authorities.

So far Gore's published views had been in consonance with those of the older Tractarians, but in 1889 a stir was created by the publication, under his editorship, of Lux Mundi, a series of essays by different writers attempting to bring the Christian creed into a harmonious relation to the modern growth of knowledge, scientific, historic, critical, and to modern problems of politics and ethics. Gore himself contributed an essay on "The Holy Spirit and Inspiration" and, from the tenth edition, one of Gore's sermons, "On the Christian Doctrine of Sin", was included as an appendix. The book, which ran through twelve editions in little over a year, met with a mixed reception. Traditional clerics, both Evangelicals and Tractarians, were alarmed by views on the incarnate nature of Christ which seemed to them to impugn his divinity and, by concessions to the higher criticism in the matter of the inspiration of scripture, appeared to them to convert the "impregnable rock" (as Gladstone had called it) into a foundation of sand. Sceptics, however, were not impressed by a system of defence which seemed to draw an artificial line beyond which criticism was not to advance. The book nonetheless produced a profound effect far beyond the borders of the Anglican churches and it is largely due to its influence, and to that of the school it represents, that the Anglican high church movement developed on Modernist rather than Tractarian lines from then on.

Bampton Lectures, Radley parish, and Westminster Abbey
In 1891 Gore was chosen to deliver the Bampton Lectures, and he took for his subject the "Incarnation of Christ". In these published lectures, Gore developed the theology of Lux Mundi, attempting to explain how Christ, though incarnate God, could err (for example, in his citations from the Old Testament). The orthodox explanation had been based on the religious principle of accommodation. This, however, had not solved the difficulty that if Christ on earth was not subject to human limitations, especially of knowledge, he was not as other men, not subject to their trials and temptations. Gore addressed this through revisiting the Kenotic Theory of the Incarnation. Theologians had attempted to explain what Paul the Apostle meant when he wrote of Christ (Philippians 2:7) that he emptied himself (kenosis) and took upon him the form of a servant. According to Gore this means that Christ on his incarnation, although sinless, became subject to all human limitations and stripped himself of all attributes of Godhead, including omniscience, the divine nature being hidden under the human.

The Bampton Lectures led to a tense situation, which Gore relieved in 1893 by resigning his principalship of Pusey House and accepting the position of vicar of Radley parish near Oxford.

In 1894 Gore became a canon of Westminster Abbey. where he gained commanding influence as a preacher. In July 1901 he was appointed a Chaplain-in-Ordinary to King Edward VII, though he resigned as such on elevation as bishop in January 1902.

Community of the Resurrection
In 1892, while Principal of Pusey House, Gore founded a clerical fraternity, known as the Society of the Resurrection. The society became a religious community and he became its first superior, only resigning when appointed as Bishop of Worcester in 1902. Its members were Anglican priests bound by the obligation of celibacy, living under a common Benedictine rule and with a common purse. Their work was pastoral, evangelistic, literary and educational. The community followed Gore to Radley in 1893, most of them remaining there when he moved to London in 1894. In 1898 the House of the Resurrection in Mirfield, near Huddersfield, became the centre of the community. The Community later also admitted lay brothers, and its monastic character became more central, moving closer to the Benedictine tradition.

Although the community followed a liturgical day familiar to Roman Catholic monks, Gore and the other founders wanted it to engage in social action. Five of the six founding members belonged to the Christian Social Union, hence the decision to settle in the industrial north, between Wakefield and Huddersfield.

In 1903 a college for training candidates for the Anglican priesthood, the College of the Resurrection, was established in Mirfield and, in the same year, a branch house for missionary work was set up in Johannesburg in South Africa.

Bishop in Worcester, Birmingham, and Oxford
In November 1901 Gore was nominated to succeed J. J. S. Perowne as Bishop of Worcester. The appointment caused some controversy, due to his teachings and relationship to the Prime Minister, Lord Salisbury (he was a cousin of Lord Salisbury's daughter-in-law). The Church Association and the Liverpool Laymen's League were among societies lodging formal protests before his confirmation. After subsequent legal hearings, Gore was consecrated as bishop at Lambeth Palace on 23 February 1902, and enthroned at Worcester Cathedral two days later on 25 February.

He received the degree Doctor of Divinity from the University of Oxford in December 1901, and was elected an Honorary Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, in May 1902.

In 1905 Gore was installed as the first Bishop of Birmingham, a new see, which he had helped to create by dividing his see of Worcester. The second parish church of Birmingham, St Philip, became the cathedral. While adhering to his views on the divine institution of episcopacy as essential to the Christian Church, Gore from the first cultivated friendly relations with the ministers of other Christian denominations and advocated co-operation with them in all matters when agreement was possible.

In social questions Gore became a leader of the group of high Anglicans known loosely as Christian socialists. In 1889 Gore helped found the Christian Social Union. He worked actively against the sweating system, pleaded for European intervention in Macedonia, and was a keen supporter of the Licensing Bill. In September 1909, Gore spoke in support of the Housing and Town Planning Act 1909.

In 1911 he succeeded Francis Paget as Bishop of Oxford and Chancellor of the Order of the Garter. He took legal possession of the see by the confirmation of his election on 17 October 1911 at St Mary-le-Bow by Alfred Cripps, Vicar-General of the Province of Canterbury.

Gore believed that Britain had a duty to join the War against Germany. The monthly Oxford Diocesan Magazine illustrates the strength of his view. He commented on the German treatment of civilians in land they had overrun in Belgium ‘One of the outstanding features of the present war, and the one that, perhaps, will most strike future historians, is the moral decline of Germany’. He had no doubt about the role of the Church of England in the War. ‘It was the duty of the nation... to go to war, and it was and is the duty of the Church to organise its spiritual weapons to help the nation.’ He encouraged recruitment to the army and naval chaplaincies, encouraged women to take on the jobs vacated by serving men including in the Church and toured the US to cement the alliance with Britain.

On 28 September 1917 Gore licensed 21 women as lay readers called the "Diocesan Band of Women Messengers". These were possibly the first female lay readers in the Church of England. The last one, Bessie Bangay, died in 1987 aged 98.

Retirement in London
Gore resigned in 1919 and retired to London, where he lived at 6 Margaret Street as a tenant of the parochial authorities of All Saints, Margaret Street. There he remained for several years, celebrating regularly in the church and in the sisters' chapel close by, and taking his usual keen interest in the affairs of the church and parish. At the same time Gore attached himself to Grosvenor Chapel, South Audley Street, and was licensed to the Rector of St George's, Hanover Square, in whose parish that chapel stands, thus becoming for the first time in his life a licensed curate.

Gore was a bundle of contradictions, an Anglo-Catholic in the Church of England whose questioning of the Old Testament produced in the 1890s a crisis for many believers. In the judgment of his biographer, Gore was a loner who thought he had a vocation to community life. He chose to be buried at Mirfield, in the church of the Community of the Resurrection, though he had never managed to be more than a visitor there.

In 1929–1930, he delivered the prestigious Gifford Lectures on the topic "The Philosophy of the Good Life" at the University of St Andrews.

Death and legacy
Gore died on 17 January 1932 in Kensington, London. He left instructions for his body to be cremated, a practice seen by some at the time as unacceptable for a Christian. Nearly three decades earlier, in a letter read at the 1903 opening ceremony of the Birmingham Crematorium, Gore had written:

"What I should desire when I myself die is that my body should be reduced rapidly to ashes, so that it may do no harm to the living, and then in accordance with Christian feeling be laid in the earth."

Gore's wishes provoked the Anglo-Catholic leader and politician Lord Halifax to exclaim, belatedly, "I could shake the life out of him with my own hands." The ashes were taken to Mirfield in Yorkshire for burial. His cope and mitre remain at the Grosvenor Chapel.

Gore is remembered in the Church of England with a commemoration on 17 January. He is honoured on the Episcopal Church calendar on 14 January with Richard Meux Benson.

Octav Botnar

Octav Botnar (born Oswald Bundorf; October 21, 1913 – July 11, 1998) was a self-made businessman who founded Datsun UK (later Nissan UK) and its associated car retail business Automotive Financial Group (AFG). He was a noted philanthropist.

Early life
Botnar was born in Chernivtsi, which was then called Czernowitz and was in Austria-Hungary. During his childhood, in 1918, Austria-Hungary was dissolved and the city was renamed Cernăuți and became part of Romania. The city is now in Ukraine.

Between 1932 and 1936, he was imprisoned by the Romanian authorities for communist activities, and then he voluntarily enlisted to fight in the Spanish Civil War. After being turned down at the border, he moved to France, where he joined the Marching Regiments of Foreign Volunteers and then the French Resistance, and fought against the Nazis in World War II. He returned to Romania in 1946, where he worked at the Chamber of Commerce. In 1951, he married Marcela Perian, who gave birth the next year to their only child, Camelia.

In 1960, the Securitate removed the Jewish employees from the Ministry of Foreign Trade, allegedly for undermining the national economy. Botnar, who belonged to this group, was again imprisoned between 1961 and 1965. Released, he emigrated in 1966 to Israel, where he entered the cement business. He then went to Germany, where he worked as a director in the NSU car company, later acquired by Volkswagen. He ended up in Worthing in England, where he founded Datsun UK (now Nissan UK) in 1970.

Datsun and Nissan UK
Botnar had originally run the UK import business for the German manufacturer NSU. However this business was dissolved when NSU was taken over by Volkswagen in 1969 (ultimately becoming Audi), and Botnar was looking for a new venture. He successfully became the UK franchisee and importer for Nissan, and its Datsun range of cars. Under Botnar's leadership, Datsun had become one of the biggest car imports in Britain, outselling not only its arch Japanese rival Toyota but eventually became the most popular foreign brand in the UK. At its peak, Botnar owned more than 200 Nissan dealerships throughout the country and was considered one of Britain's wealthiest men.

Philanthropy
Octav's only child, Camelia Botnar, was killed in a car crash near Stonehenge in 1972 at the age of 20. Her death led to a wave of philanthropy that saw Botnar donate millions to charity throughout his later life. One of his larger donations was £13 million to London's Great Ormond Street Hospital.

He also established the Camelia Botnar Foundation in his daughter's memory. The foundation, located in West Sussex, is still active today, providing residential training and work experience, helping young people to learn a skilled trade, embark on a useful career path and successfully make their own way in life. In 2017, OMC Investments (a real estate development and investment company founded by Botnar) bought the Salbek Castle in Petriș, Arad County so as to further the activities of the Botnar Foundation; built in 1811, the castle's design was inspired by that of the White House.

Tax controversy
In June 1991, the Inland Revenue raided Nissan UK's headquarters, as well as Mr Botnar's home and the homes of other company officials. The tax authority accused Botnar of evading more than £200 million in taxes. The scam involved using a third party shipping agent to deliberately overcharge Nissan UK for the shipment of vehicles from Japan so as to artificially depress its own profits thus reducing the company's exposure to corporation tax. Botnar left for Switzerland and lived for the rest of his life there in Villars-sur-Ollon. Nissan had increasingly become frustrated with Botnar's ruthless business practices which went against their own corporate culture, and eventually terminated the supply of vehicles to Botnar's companies.

The Nissan UK and AFG businesses subsequently foundered, after Nissan took its UK distribution and import activities completely in-house in 1991.

Although Botnar maintained his innocence up until his final hours, he had agreed to pay £59 million to settle the case. Following settling, he opened a suit against the Inland Revenue for damages and malicious prosecution. At the time he said: "The damages I am seeking are only token, but I want to clear my name. I want my day in court."

Death
Botnar spent his last years as a tax exile in Switzerland fighting the British Inland Revenue.

He died on 11 July 1998 at the age of 84 after suffering from stomach cancer. He is buried in Passy Cemetery in Paris. Tory party chairman Lord Parkinson once described Botnar as "truly one of our greatest philanthropists".

Oguchi Onyewu

Oguchialu Chijioke Onyewu (born May 13, 1982) is an American former soccer player who is the Vice President of Sporting for the United States Soccer Federation. He was previously the sporting director for Orlando City B and secretary-general of R.E. Virton.

During his professional career, he played as a defender for clubs in France, Belgium, England, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United States. Onyewu earned over 60 caps with the United States men's national soccer team and played for the United States at the 2006 and 2010 World Cups.

College soccer and move to Europe
Onyewu grew up in the Washington, D.C. suburbs of Silver Spring and Olney, Maryland, where he attended St. Andrew Apostle School and Sherwood High School. Onyewu enrolled in the U.S. residency program in Bradenton, Florida, before returning to Sherwood to graduate. He then played two years of college soccer at Clemson University in South Carolina. He moved to Europe in 2002, signing with Metz of Ligue 2 in France. In 2003, he was loaned out to La Louvière in Belgium.

Standard Liège and Newcastle
Onyewu was loaned to Standard Liège in 2004. The move to Liège was made permanent for the 2004–05 season. After the season, he was named to the Belgian league's Best XI as well as Foreign Player of the Year for 2005. Having been the subject of many transfer rumors regarding clubs throughout Europe, Onyewu finally completed a loan deal with Newcastle United in January 2007, covering the remainder of the 2006–07 season. He made his debut for Newcastle against Fulham on February 3, and his home debut a week later, alongside Titus Bramble, in a 2–1 victory over Liverpool. The two formed an ill-fated partnership, making a number of costly mistakes which was ultimately to cost Onyewu his place. Following the arrival of new manager Sam Allardyce, Onyewu fell out of favor, and Newcastle decided not to make the loan deal permanent.

Onyewu returned to Standard, and his play continued to improve. He made his 100th Belgian First Division appearance for Standard Liège on March 14, 2008, against Germinal Beerschot, and was an integral part of the club as they went on a 29-match unbeaten streak to win the 2007–08 Belgian First Division. After the season, he was named to the Belgian league Best XI for the second time. His strong form continued during the 2008–09 season. He led the Standard defense to a second consecutive Belgian league title. Standard was drawn with Anderlecht at season's end, and Standard won a two-legged playoff for the championship.

Onyewu dealt with racism during his time in Belgium, even having been punched and shouted at by racist fans while playing for Standard Liège. The most well-publicized incident occurred in the 2008–09 Championship playoff when Anderlecht defender Jelle Van Damme, according to Onyewu, allegedly repeatedly called him a "dirty ape," even after Onyewu relayed the information to the referees. Van Damme denied the accusations following the match and in return said that Onyewu himself taunted him in a racist way by calling him "dirty Flemish." Approximately two weeks later, Onyewu's lawyer announced that he was suing Van Damme in an effort to end on-field racism in European soccer. The case was withdrawn in February 2011 after a meeting between the two players when Van Damme apologized for any offense he may have given.

Milan and loan spell with Twente
Onyewu signed a three-year contract with Milan in July 2009, but never played a league game in his eighteen-month spell at the club. He made his debut on September 30 as a substitute in a Champions League loss to Zürich at San Siro. Onyewu missed all the 2009–10 season—appearing in only one Champions League match—due to a knee injury suffered while on national team duty. At the end of the season, it was announced that Onyewu's contract with Milan was extended by one season, keeping him under contract with the club until the end of the 2012–13 season. Upon Onyewu's request, the one-year extension included no salary.

On November 5, 2010, Onyewu made international headlines when he and teammate Zlatan Ibrahimović engaged in a fight during training, before a league match against Bari. It was reported that Onyewu suffered a reckless tackle from Ibrahimović, causing Onyewu to confront him. The two were then separated by teammates, though the club reported he and Ibrahimović have made up for their fight.

In January 2011, Onyewu joined Dutch side Twente on loan until the end of the season. Onyewu made his debut for the Tukkers on the January 19 against Heracles Almelo in an Eredivisie fixture where he would play the full 90 minutes. Despite his stay being short lived at the Dutch side, Onyewu would feature predominantly in both domestic competitions and European competitions where his side reached the quarter finals. His stint with Twente saw him accumulate 14 appearances, as well as pick up a cup winners medal after Twente defeated Ajax 3–2 in the KNVB Cup final.

Spells in Portugal and Spain

In June 2011, Onyewu joined Portuguese side Sporting CP on a free transfer where he signed a three-year deal from A.C. Milan. In Sporting CP's first five competitive games of the season, three Primeira Liga and two European qualifying matches, Sporting manager Domingos Paciência opted to start central defenders Daniel Carriço and Alberto Rodríguez alongside Ânderson Polga, which left Onyewu on the bench. Injuries during the start of the season to Carriço and Polga led to manager Domingos Paciência starting Onyewu in Sporting's line-up. Onyewu made his team debut on the September 10 in a 3–2 away victory over Paços de Ferreira where he would play the full 90 minutes. He scored his first goal for Sporting CP against Rio Ave at the Estádio dos Arcos on September 19, a week after making his Sporting CP debut, in a 3–2 win in which Onyewu scored the winning goal from a header after a Diego Capel corner kick found him unmarked in the penalty area.

Unlike his time with A.C. Milan, Onyewu's playing time increased during the 2011–12 season. During the season, he gradually established himself as the first team regular starter, playing as a center-back alongside Ânderson Polga. Despite the sacking of Domingos Paciência and the introduction of Ricardo Sá Pinto as Sporting manager in early 2012, Onyewu remained a first team regular until mid February where he sustained an injury in a league match against Paços de Ferreira. Onyewu's injury, which turned out to be an internal lateral ligament and an external meniscus fracture to his right knee, kept the American out of action for two months. Onyewu's recovery saw him back in late April where he played his first match in two months against Nacional. Onyewu's recovery meant he would be available to compete in the 2012 Taça de Portugal Final where his side would come up on the losing end against Académica de Coimbra. Onyewu finished his first season with the Leões with 31 appearances to his name, and scoring five goals.

The appointment of Ricardo Sá Pinto as Sporting manager led to the arrival of Khalid Boulahrouz and Marcos Rojo, which saw Onyewu loaned out to Spanish La Liga outfit Málaga in August 2012. Onyewu made his team debut on October 24 in a UEFA Champions League match as a substitute in a 1–0 victory over his former side A.C. Milan. A week later, he started and scored his first Málaga goal against CP Cacereño on October 31 in a fourth-round Copa del Rey tie. Onyewu's goal-scoring form continued in the same competition against SD Eibar on December 18, where his stoppage time goal earned his side a draw. However, Onyewu's stay with Málaga proved to be unsuccessful as he struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular and only managed to play nine matches all season, contributing two goals.

Onyewu returned to Sporting in the summer of 2013 but agreed to a contract termination by mutual consent.

Return to England and beyond

In October 2013, Onyewu signed with Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer, but he failed to make any appearances and was an unused substitute on six occasions. In January 2014, Onyewu joined Sheffield Wednesday until the end of the season.

In October 2014, Onyewu signed for Charlton Athletic on a short-term contract, making his debut as a substitute on December 26. The club extended his contract through the end of the season, but he was released following the conclusion of the season. Onyewu was released at the end of his contract in May 2015.

Onyewu trialed with Major League Soccer's New York City FC in May 2015 but was not signed. He later spent a preseason tour with Rangers of the Scottish Premiership in June 2016 but was not offered a contract.

Return to America
Onyewu signed with the Philadelphia Union during the 2017 MLS preseason. Originally brought in to be a veteran presence for a young backline Philadelphia, Onyewu became a regular starter for the Union earning 22 appearances and scoring once. Onyewu was released by the Union at the conclusion of the 2017 season.

Retirement
In September 2018, Onyewu announced his retirement from professional soccer via Instagram concluding a 15-year career.

International career
Onyewu was a mainstay on the United States national team for the 2006 and 2010 World Cup cycles. Early in his career, Onyewu represented the U.S. at various youth levels, including at the 2001 World Youth Championship. He made his first appearance for the senior national team on October 13, 2004, against Panama. Onyewu scored his first international goal in the 2005 Gold Cup, nodding home the extra time winner in the semifinal against Honduras, and was later named to the tournament Best XI.

Oguchi played for the United States in the 2006 World Cup, and started in all three United States games. Just before halftime of the third and final group stage match against Ghana, Onyewu conceded a penalty from which Ghana scored, and the United States was eliminated by the 2–1 defeat. Onyewu was voted the 2006 U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year. He was the first defender to earn the award since Alexi Lalas in 1995.

During the 2009 Confederations Cup, Onyewu was paired with Jay DeMerit due to the injury of his normal partner, Carlos Bocanegra, who was unable to play in the group stage. Onyewu played well against Egypt, helping lead the United States to a 3–0 win that earned them a berth in the semifinals. He also had a standout performance in the 2–0 semifinal victory over Spain.

In a World Cup qualifier draw against Costa Rica on October 14, 2009, Onyewu suffered a patellar tendon rupture, forcing him to miss the rest of qualifying.

During the 2010 World Cup, Onyewu started and played the full 90 minutes in the United States's first group match against England. During the second group match against Slovenia, he got his second start but was subbed out in the 80th minute. He did not play in the third group match against Algeria or the second round meeting against Ghana.

Personal life
Onyewu's parents moved to the United States from Nigeria to study in Washington, D.C. They are ethnic Igbo people of Nigeria. Onyewu has two brothers, Uche and Nonye, and two sisters, Chi-Chi and Ogechi. He also holds Belgian citizenship. He speaks English, French, Italian, and Portuguese. Onyewu is a practicing Catholic.

At 6ft 4in and 210 lb, Onyewu is the second-tallest outfield player in United States national team history (after Omar Gonzalez).

Business interests
In early 2017, Onyewu co-opened a sports performance facility in Richmond, Virginia.

Leslie H. Gelb

Leslie Howard "Les" Gelb (March 4, 1937 – August 31, 2019) was an American academic, correspondent and columnist for The New York Times who served as a senior Defense and State Department official and later the President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Background
Leslie Gelb was born in New Rochelle, New York in 1937. His parents were Max and Dorothy (Klein) Gelb. He received a B.A. from Tufts University in 1959, and an M.A. in 1961 and Ph.D. in 1964 from Harvard University. Starting in 1964 and ending in 1967 he was Assistant Professor of Government at Wesleyan University.

He married Judith Cohen on August 2, 1959, and lived in New York City. They had three children. He received the American Father of the Year award in 1993.

Career
Gelb was Executive Assistant for Senator Jacob Javits from 1966 to 1967. He was director of Policy Planning and Arms Control for International Security Affairs at the Department of Defense from 1967 to 1969, winning the Pentagon's highest award, the Distinguished Service Medal. Robert McNamara appointed Gelb as director of the project that produced the controversial Pentagon Papers on the Vietnam War; Gelb led the team of 36 analysts, including Daniel Ellsberg, Paul Warnke, Morton Halperin, Richard Holbrooke, John Galvin, Paul F. Gorman, Richard Moorstein, Hans Heymann and Melvin Gurtov, in drafting the 47-volume, 7,000-page study of the war's history, presenting it to McNamara and his successor Clark Clifford in early 1969, only for them to not read it. From 1969 to 1973, Gelb was a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution.

He was diplomatic correspondent at The New York Times from 1973 to 1977.

He served as an Assistant Secretary of State in the Carter Administration from 1977 to 1979, serving as director of the Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs and winning the Distinguished Honor Award, the highest award of the US State Department. In 1980 he co-authored The Irony of Vietnam which won the Woodrow Wilson Foundation Book Award in 1981. From 1980 to 1981, he was also a Senior Associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

He returned to the Times in 1981. Until 1993, he was in turn its national security correspondent, deputy editorial page editor, editor of the op-ed page, and columnist. The period included his leading role on the Times team that won a Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Journalism in 1986 for a six-part comprehensive series on the Star Wars Strategic Defense Initiative. In 1983, he worked as a producer on the ABC documentary The Crisis Game, which received an Emmy award in 1984.

Gelb became President of the Council on Foreign Relations in 1993 and and until his death in 2019 was its President Emeritus. From 2003 to 2015, he served as Board Senior Fellow there. In addition to his work at Council on Foreign Relations, Gelb was also a member of the International Institute for Strategic Studies and was a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

He served as the chairman of the advisory board for the National Security Network, which identifies itself as a "progressive" think tank, and served on the boards of directors of several non-profit organizations including Carnegie Endowment, the School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University, the James Baker Institute at Rice University, the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University, and the John F. Kennedy School of Government Center on Press, Politics and Public Policy. He served on the board of directors of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and was a member of the board of advisors of the Truman Project and America Abroad Media. Gelb served on the board of directors of the Center for the National Interest and of the Diplomacy Center Foundation. He also sat on the editorial advisory committee of Democracy magazine, on the advisory council of The National Interest magazine, and on the advisory board of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation. Gelb served on several commercial boards including Legg Mason closed end funds (since 2003), Aberdeen India and Asia Tigers funds (since 2003), and Centre Partners (since 2005). He was Trustee Emeritus of Tufts University.

Gelb was a contributor to The Daily Beast, a news aggregation site.

Iraq War
Gelb initially supported the Iraq War but later said that his "initial support for the war was symptomatic of unfortunate tendencies within the foreign policy community, namely the disposition and incentives of supporting wars to retain political and professional credibility."

John Kelly of Killanne

John Kelly (Kelly of Killanne) (1773 – c. 25 June 1798) lived in the town of Killanne in the parish of Rathnure, west of Enniscorthy, in County Wexford in Ireland, and was a United Irish leader who fought in the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Kelly was obviously well known to rebels and loyalists alike during the short duration of the Wexford Rebellion but very little is known of him outside this time. He was one of the leaders of the rebel victory at the Battle of Three Rocks which led to the capture of Wexford town but was later seriously wounded while leading a rebel column at the Battle of New Ross.

Robert Gogan describes how Kelly was under orders from the Wexford commander Bagenal Harvey to attack the military outposts around New Ross but on no account to attack the town itself. The rebels outnumbered the government forces and so Harvey sent a messenger to give them an opportunity to surrender. The messenger was shot while carrying a white flag. This angered the rebels who began the attack without receiving the official order from Harvey. Kelly's column of 800 men attacked and broke through Ross's "Three Bullet Gate" and proceeded into the town itself. After initial success, they were eventually beaten back by the government forces and Kelly was wounded in the leg. He was moved to Wexford to recuperate but after the fall of Wexford on 21 June was dragged from his bed, tried and sentenced to death. He was hanged on 25 June 1798 along with seven other rebel leaders on Wexford bridge, after which his body was decapitated, the trunk thrown into the River Slaney and the head kicked through the streets before being set on display on a spike.

In popular culture
His exploits are commemorated in the famous Irish ballad Kelly the Boy From Killane written by Patrick Joseph McCall (1861–1919). Liam Gaul describes how McCall wrote the song to commemorate the centenary of the 1798 Rebellion, although it was not published in book form until it appeared in McCall's Irish Fireside Songs in 1911. Gaul says the origin of the melody used in the song is uncertain. There is no known reference to it before it was used in Kelly the Boy From Killane and so it is likely that McCall, who was a talented musician, wrote the tune himself. Don Partridge recorded a solo acoustic version of the song in 1964, and would later regularly play the song during street busking, before and after his hit records in the late 1960s.

Lyrics
What's the news, what's the news oh my bold Shelmalier With your long-barrelled guns from the sea Say what wind from the south brings a messenger here With the hymn of the dawn for the free Goodly news, goodly news do I bring youth of Forth Goodly news shall you hear Bargy man For the boys march at dawn from the south to the north Led by Kelly the boy from Killane

Tell me who is that giant with the gold curling hair He who rides at the head of your band Seven feet is his height with some inches to spare And he looks like a king in command Ah my boys that's the pride of the bold Shelmaliers 'Mongst greatest of heroes a man Fling your beavers aloft and give three ringing cheers For John Kelly the boy from Killane

Enniscorthy's in flames and old Wexford is won And tomorrow the Barrow we will cross On a hill o'er the town we have planted a gun That will batter the gateway to Ross All the Forth men and Bargy men will march o'er the heath With brave Harvey to lead in the van But the foremost of all in that grim gap of death Will be Kelly the boy from Killane

But the gold sun of freedom grew darkened at Ross And it set by the Slaney's red waves And poor Wexford stripped naked, hung high on a cross With her heart pierced by traitors and slaves Glory-o, glory-o to her brave sons who died For the cause of long down-trodden man Glory-o to Mount Leinster's own darling and pride Dauntless Kelly the boy from Killane

Vedanta Desika

Vedanta Desika (1268–1369), also rendered Vedanta Desikan, Swami Vedanta Desika, and Thoopul Nigamantha Desikan, was an Indian polymath who wrote philosophical as well as religious and poetical works in several languages, including Sanskrit, Manipravaḷam (a Sanskritised form of literary Tamil), Tamil and Prakrit. He was an Indian philosopher, Sri Vaishnava guru, and one of the most brilliant stalwarts of Sri Vaishnavism in the post-Ramanuja period. He was a Hindu devotee, poet, Master of Acharyas (desikan) and a logician and mathematician. He was the disciple of Kidambi Appullar, also known as Athreya Ramanujachariar, who himself was of a master-disciple lineage that began with Ramanuja. Vedanta Desika is considered to be avatar (incarnation) of the divine bell of Venkateshvara of Tirumala by the Vadakalai sect of Sri Vaishnavism. Vedanta Desika belongs to Vishvamitra/Kaushika gotra.

On the occasion of 750th anniversary of the life of Vedanta Desika, the Indian postal department unveiled a stamp to commemorate the great philosopher's life and highly valued works. The stamp was unveiled by Venkaiah Naidu, Vice President of India in May 2019.

Early life
Desika was born in the year 1268 CE, to a pious couple named Ananta Suri and Totaramba, who named him ‘Venkatanathan’. When he was five, his maternal uncle, Kidambi Appullar, took him to attend a spiritual discourse of Nadadhoor Ammal, a revered Sri Vaishnava scholar of that time. As soon as Ammal saw the divine radiance of the child, he stopped his discourse, and hugged Venkatanathan affectionately.

When Ammal told the audience that he had forgotten where he had stopped his discourse, it was Venkatanathan who reminded him immediately, to the astonishment of the assembled scholars. Deeply impressed, Ammal blessed him and predicted that Venkatanathan would become the main torch-bearer for Sri Vaishnavism.

When Desika turned seven, Kidambi Appullar accepted Venkatanaathan as his disciple, and taught him arts, sciences and scriptures. By the age of 20, Desika became famous for his mastery over poetry, logic, linguistics, science, Vedanta, debate, and allied arts.

Even though Desika was multi-faceted and famous, he lived a humble and simple life with the support of his wife, Thirumangai. He undertook a vow called uchhavritti, whereby he depended wholly on the Supreme Lord for his household needs by accepting grains and vegetables donated by disciples voluntarily, without actively seeking it.

Desika stayed in several cities and towns through his life such as Thiruvaheendrapuram, Kanchipuram, Srirangam, Sathyagala, and Melkote. He also travelled widely all over India on foot. There exist several anecdotes regarding the life of Desika furnished by his followers.

Literary works
Desika composed many different works in languages such as Tamil, Sanskrit, Prakrit, and Manipravalam (a mixture of Sanskrit and Tamil)

He composed over a hundred works in the following genre:

• 28 devotional poems in Sanskrit such as the Hayagriva Stotra, Kamasika Ashthaka, and Gopalavimshati

• 24 devotional poems and treatises in Tamil such as Gitartha Samgraha and Charama Shloka

• 11 philosophical treatises such as Shatadushani, Mimamsa Paduka, and Tattva Mukta Kalapa

• 10 commentaries on the works of previous acharyas such as Stotra Ratna Bhashya, Chatuh Shloki Bhashya, and Tatparya Chandrika

• 5 narrative poems such as his magnum opus, the Paduka Sahasra, the Yadavabhyudaya, and the Hamsa-sandesha

• 32 esoteric texts revealing the hidden meanings of prappati such as the Rahasyatrayasara, the Paramapada Sopana, the Amrita-ranjani, and the Amrita-svadhini

• 1 drama named Sankalpa Suryodaya

• 13 works on arts and sciences such as Bhugola-nirnayam and Silparthasara

• 4 works that codified religious rites and practices such as Sri Vaishnava Dinasari and Bhagavad Aradhana Vidhi

Desika composed his poems in various poetic metres. Vedic literature is written in the form of hymns set rhythmically to different metres, called ‘chandas’. Each metre is governed by the number of syllables specific to it. Poets are expected to conform to these norms in their compositions. Desika has employed 22 metres in the 862 verses he composed on presiding deities of various temples in India. The following are some of the compositions of Vedanta Desika that provide a glimpse of his mastery over poetry, logic, grammar and philosophy:

Hayagriva Stotram: a hymn on Hayagriva, the god of wisdom.

Abhitistava: a prayer to Ranganatha for relief from different types of fear, ultimately seeking and being bestowed refuge at the lotus feet of God.

Achyuta Shataka: a hundred verses in praise of Devanatha, in which Desika expresses his passionate love in the form of a bride.

Bhagavad Dhyana Sopana: Twelve stanzas that describe the steps for meditating upon the deity of Srirangam, Ranganathaswamy.

Dashavatara Stotra: describes the ten important incarnations of God to protect the world and uphold the principles of dharma or righteousness.

Dayashataka: a hundred verses eulogising the mercy or daya of the deity of Tirumala. The work is divided into 10 decads, each portraying different qualities of the personified mother, Dayadevi. It commences with the short anushtab metre. Each successive decad employs a more complex metre, till it culminates in decorative poetry

Garuda Dandaka: a hymn composed in the dandaka metre. According to legend, Desika composed it to summon Garuda to compete against a snake-charmer.

Sri Stuti: a prayer to Lakshmi. It is said to have been composed when a bachelor was sent to Desika, seeking financial help for his marriage.

Raghuvira Gadyam: a hymn dedicated to Rama, based on episodes from the Ramayana.

Sudarshana Ashtaka: eight verses set in the dhritichhandas metre, praising the Sudarshana Chakra of Vishnu.

Kamasika Asthaka: a prayer of eight verses to Narasimha.

Nyasa Sutras: three texts composed by Desika which extract the essence of the sharanagati doctrine of self-surrender. These are the Nyasa Dashaka, Nyasa Vimshati, and Nyasa Tilakam.

Vairagya Panchaka: five verses that describe the importance of renunciation or vairagya. The word ‘dhana’ or wealth, occurs eleven times, each with a different contextual meaning.

Hamsa Sandesha: a lyrical poem of 110 verses, reminiscent of Kalidasa's Meghaduta. It describes Rama sending a message via a swan to his wife Sita, who was abducted by the rakshasa king, Ravana.

Yadavabhyudaya: an epic poem of 24 cantos describing the destiny of the Yadava Kings, the dynasty in which Krishna appeared. It is on par with the Kalidasa's work called Raghuvamsa, which describes the dynasty of the Raghu kings, in which Rama appeared.

Paduka Sahasra: a thousand and eight verses spread over 32 divisions called paddhatis, on the holy sandals of the deity Ranganatha. Desika was challenged by another scholar to compose 1000 verses in a night, and he completed this work in three hours. Verses in one section form pictorial patterns with the arrangements of the letters used.

Tamil works
Vedanta Desika's works in Tamil are numerous, out of which two are noteworthy: Paramatabhangam, where he describes and refutes 15 schools of philosophy, and the Ahara Niyamam, where he describes the correct types food to be consumed by a Vaishnava.

Tributes
Sri Vaishnava texts record how the goddess Lakshmi, known as Ranganayaki in the holy town of Srirangam, personally conferred on him the title of ‘Sarva-tantra-svatantra’ or master of all arts and crafts. It is also believed that Rangantha who is the presiding deity of Srirangam, awarded the title of ‘Vedanta Desika’, meaning: the supreme teacher of the conclusion of all knowledge. This was done because God is believed to have been immensely pleased when Desika debated with differing scholars and established the supremacy of the path of loving surrender, or prapatti-marga.

He received other titles such as ‘Kavitarkika-kesari’ and ‘Kavitarkika-simham’, the lion amongst poets; and ‘Ramanuja-daya-patram’, the recipient of Ramanuja's causeless mercy, given in a laudatory verse composed by the famous Brahma Tantra Svatantra Swami.

In Sri Vaishnavism, a thanian is a laudatory dedication in verse composed about an acharya by another acharya who is the subject's pupil, and someone whom the subject greatly admired. The thanian of Desika is:

"'shrimad-venkata-natharyam vande vedantadeshikam'"

This thanian was composed by brahmatantraswatantra jeeyar of Parakala Mutt on the day of star of Hastham, the star of Varadharaja Perumal of Kanchipuram in the Tamil month of Avani. It is recited before starting Divya Prabandham — the works of Alvars – by Vadakalayars. It translates as "I salute the great Venkata Natha also called Vedanta Acharya and Lion among poets and logicians and who was well adorned by both Knowledge and discretion and who well deserved the grace of Atreya Ramanuja who also had the same name."

A Vaḻi Thirunamam is a set of salutary verses that are chanted in temple, marking the closure of the day's Divya Prabandha Chanting. The salutary verses are sung to ensure that these temples and the practices as established by the acharyas and Ramanuja would be followed forever. Vedanta Desika's Vaḻi Thirunamam is chanted in most of the Vadakalai Divya Desams all over India.

Talk:Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

End of development?
There seem to be some reports that Mitsubishi will end development of the Lancer Evolution series in order to concentrate on electric cars. Here is a link: http://www.dailytech.com/Mitsubishi+Kills+the+Evo+Will+Focus+on+Electric+Cars/article21040.htm. Should that be included in this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.94.134.10 (talk) 22:00, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Australia
This article should note that the Evo 8 was available in limited import quantities and the Evo 9 in unrestricted quantities in Australia through selected Ralliart Dealers.

Power data for Evo X
In the article, it is said that the american version will have around 900bhp and the uk version 2000bhp. both of these numbers are ridiculous and i would really like to see them changed 89.145.39.248 (talk) 21:03, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Changed the intro a little, grammar nazi
I corrected some run-on and comma laden sentences and clarified some statements.

Performance differences around the world
After reading and ammending some of the article, it seems that a lot of the information on the Evo VIII onwards is based completely on American Evolution, yet combines some information with the Japanese Evo VIII and '05 American Evolution. I believe we should either show information for each separate country on VIII onwards or just leave it at the Japanese and Rest of World editions.

 * I've noticed something else too, the article says that the japanese editions uses the same exact same engine of the american edition and thats simply wrong, the japanese editions produce more torque, 400Nm (295 ft-lb) for the GSR and 407Nm (300 ft-lb) for the GT And RS, while the american edition produce 392 Nm (289 ft·lb, btw the japanese records can be found in the japanese official brochure and the official website here http://www.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/EVO/performance01.html . About the MR, I've added few words last night and Im gonna add few links and performance figures today EvolutioniuM 03:05, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

(RESPONSE POSTED: 8/3/2005 -- 12:07pm EST by CGs)
 * >>"the article says the japanese editions use the same engine as the american edition and that's simply wrong"

The Japanese, American and World editions of the 2003-2005 Lancer Evolution use the 2.0Liter Mitsubishi 4G63 Turbo Engine. The lower torque in the American version has more to do with the tuning and exhaust systems used to comply with the strict American (California specifically) emission standards. Most EVO owners (including myself) have their cars retuned early on to 'fix' this. That said, the American version of the Lancer Evolution was actually based on the 5-speed Japanese Evolution VII, using exterior styling similar to the Japanese Evolution VIII.

Cornerstone of GT4?
It is also a cornerstone of the popular driving simulator Gran Turismo, with the latest version featuring over 20 variants, including racing models.

For one thing, there are only 18 versions of the Evo in GT4.

Second, 18 out of around 750 models is hardly a 'cornerstone'. That is, unless you consider the game to have 42 sides. The Skyline GTR has 32.

Third, what is this quote even doing in the Film section?--207.175.61.213 20:17, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Evo IX
Could anyone change the dated Evo 8 top picture to up-to-date Evo IX?

Just post them so people can at least see them for a week.

Lancer Evolution X Concept
Is there a need to put the picture of the concept Evo X at the bottom of the page?There's already a pic of it on top of the article...Ceecookie 11:12, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

The Lancer Evolution X looks a lot meaner and angrier instead of a smile. Weird, yet it is the fast car and the best. Note: Help me with the Military time because I don't know how. Anything Else

Evolution V: weasel words
There is a mention of "reputable sources". Can anyone include references to those sources? --Unweasel 08:17, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Availability in Canada
In searching Google, I have found rumours that suggest that the X might be finally made available to Canada. Does anyone have any information regarding this? Confirm/deny? Thanks, Shawn 16:44, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * IT IS COMING TO CANADA>>> I SPOKE WITH A MITSUBISHI REP. ITS COMING IN 2008

capitalization of "evo"
It seems to me that in the first line, while people do refer to the Lancer Evolution as the "Evo", there's no need for it to be capitalized. It's not an acronym, and it is a short form of "Evolution", not "EVOLUTION". I'm going to change the case, although I'm not especially biased either way. It just seems more correct to use "Evo", and it reflects what many of the manufacturers (such as for aftermarket parts), as well as fan sites use. ... aa:talk 14:08, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes please do, and you're right it's not an acronym, it's just a short form. Both me and a friend of mine are getting Evo's soon, and that's what we refer to them as. ~Blake D. Hawkins 01:37, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Need a picture at the top?
I have a red US-market Evo VIII MR. I waxed it this weekend, so it looks halfway presentable. It's not the most recent generation, but this page lacks a decent-sized, decent quality photo for the top; do you guys want me to take a pic or are you going to hold out for an Evo IX photo? TomTheHand 21:00, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Needs an entire infobox, which I'm going to do right now (ignoring the individual generations). I'll use the pic of the white one, since it pretty much meets the Autoproject's photo requirements, and is an interesting pose as well -- a bit different from the usual driveway and mall car park shots. However, if you can get a better photo, knock yourself out. The only VIII we have just now is the yellow one, and that's a bit head-on and close-up to be ideal.
 * Of course, if you could capture the spirit of the car that'd be even better. How are you at four-wheel drifting at three figure speeds? Or yumping? Surely you can beat Markko Martin, after all, he's only driving a Ford Focus... --DeLarge 21:31, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The yellow one's a VII (2001-2002); mine is an VIII (2003-2005) as is the white one. I can't really beat the white one's pose!

Evolution vs Evo Consistency
This article constantly switches between calling the car Evolution and Evo I think one should be picked and stuck with because it is really inconsistant to switch back and forth between names. SirGrant 05:27, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Sportscar vs Sports saloon thing
Just to point out, luxuries does not necessarily make a sports saloon, so if the Evo is not a sports saloon then what about the Lotus Cortina and one of numerous cars that were homlogationlised for racing, as it was stated...

 * It was later applied by manufacturers to special versions of their vehicles that allowed them to enter production cars in motor races with extra modifications not normally permitted by the regulations. Such regulations required cars to be homologated typically by selling them in minimum numbers to the public.

So I hope it is possible to add the sports saloon tag to it. Also to my opinion isn't a 3 series more like a compact executive car or as defined on that page, the M3 is more like a sports saloon. Willirennen 19:27, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

 * We might be dealing with a US/British "language barrier" here or something, as here, a sports sedan is a sedan that's kinda sporty, like a BMW 3 series. See this article from Car and Driver magazine for what's considered a sports sedan over here.  "Sports car" is less definite, but I've always thought it to mean a car that is designed for performance at the expense of comfort and price.  Four doors don't automatically stop something from being a sports car. TomTheHand 12:40, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

The Lancer Evolution is definitely a sportscar, even if an extraordinarily comfortable and versatile one. Unlike most sportscars that can be used on a trackday only and have problems even to store a cigarette pack, the Evolution has 4 comfortable seats and an emergency 5th "center" seat and a roomy trunk. This because as most rally cars it's been derived from a standard road model, but it is, nonetheless, engineered for extreme performance only, giving very little thought (if any) to comfort or luxury. Even if the M3 is comfortable and decently roomy as well, it's quite different from the Evolution. While a lot of the money you pay for an M3 goes into luxury features, almost all the cost of an Evolution has been spent in making it faster and more agile. On the RS versions, even the electric windows, stereo and AC are optional. This makes the Evolution a sportscar, and the M3 (in his standard version) a GT —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.43.230.194 (talk) 15:07, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

CVT Transmission
Does the new Evo come with the CVT transmission, because this would make it more of a manumatic/automatic coupe than a manual. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zhour24 (talk • contribs) 12:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC).

 * No, no Evo has been or will (in the near future) be available with a CVT. The current Evo is available with a 6 speed manual, a 5 speed manual, or a 5 speed automatic, depending on the market (the automatic, for example, isn't available in the US).  The next generation Evo will be available with a paddle-shifted dual clutch transmission much like Volkswagen's DSG, which is a semi-automatic transmission.  It will also be available with a 5 speed manual.  Note that while the Evo has been offered as a sedan and as a wagon, it has never been offered as a coupé. TomTheHand 14:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, yes, the Evo 7 was sold with an auto transmission and called the GTA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.183.139.136 (talk) 11:25, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Lancer and Prototype X
Did the Lancer come from the Prototype X or is it the other way around, because unlike the last generation, (EVO 9) the 'New' Lancer and the Prototype X actually looks simular --Zhour24 12:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Evo vs Evolution
I would vote for Evolution. Mitsubishi avoids Evo in all material, I gather, because Harley Davidson has the Evo name for a type of engine. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cpurrin1 (talk • contribs) 22:30, 21 April 2007 (UTC).

Replaced Evo VIII picture
Though it's cool that the Evo in the picture we were using was at a track, and a wet one at that, I never liked it much. It is low resolution and has visible artifacts, and the poor weather led to bad lighting. I have an Evo VIII, and I had wanted to take a high resolution photo and upload it, but as someone above mentioned, a high-quality picture of an Evo in someone's driveway is so much lamer than the track picture that it's not worth making the swap.

A couple of weekends ago I went to Deals Gap, North Carolina, which is an amazing drive. Several photographers set up at various points along the road and photograph all of the cars and motorcycles that go by. One photographer, Darryl Cannon of Killboy.com, got a couple of really good shots of me and agreed to release them under the Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike license. I uploaded them to Wikimedia Commons and used one of them to replace the Evo VIII image on this page. The other is here in case anyone thinks it's a better choice or has another use for it. Hope this is ok! TomTheHand 17:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Looking at the two, I much prefer the second one. It's slightly closer to the WP traditional "front 3/4, slightly raised", so you can better see both the front end and the Bart Simpson fins on the roof. There's not a lot in it, but I think the better angle offsets the benefit of the incumbent picture, namely that it's slightly sharper. Also, I have to confess to disliking such off-horizontal shots, at least when it's to that degreee.
 * I spun/cropped shot 2 a little, and turned down the image quality which shrunk the file size by 90 percent. It's on en.WP for now (here) but it can be moved or deleted depending on the response. (It'd also need its details edited; I just copy/pasted them, so it reads like I'm the driver). The current shot might be more in focus, but it's too close to the edges to be able to be rotated much. --DeLarge 18:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I see your points. The only thing I disagree with is turning down the image quality, as it has noticeable artifacts when viewed at full resolution now.  Turning down the image quality of the 3199 × 1787 image doesn't affect viewers of this article, or even viewers of the 800 × 447 preview image, and if someone wants to view the gigantic copy they should be able to do so at full quality.  If you don't mind, I'll rotate and crop the image when I get home today and upload it to Commons at full quality; if it then looks good to you perhaps you could db-author the one you've made. TomTheHand 19:00, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Yeah, that's cool, The commonscat template at the bottom will let other people see both images anyhoo. Strangely, I don't see the mid-size preview at all when I'm logged in, no matter what browser I try (IE7, FF2, Opera 9.2). But browsing anonymously it shows up, and it pretty much solves the big file size issue. Hmmm, I'll need to get to the bottom of that. --DeLarge 20:04, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Check your Wikipedia Preferences, and look under the Files tab, at the Limit images on image description pages to: setting. I believe it's set to 800 × 600 by default, so most people will see a 800 × (something) preview when they look at this image, but you may have at some point set it to the maximum setting on your account.  That'd explain why you get one result when you're logged in and another when you're logged out.
 * I did a little trial rotating and found that while the second image is easy to rotate and crop, the first (sharper) image is just barely possible to crop when it's been rotated, and so I may upload both when I get home and let you have your pick. TomTheHand 20:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I prepared cropped and rotated full-quality versions of both images and uploaded them to Commons. They are Image:2005 Evo at Deal's Gap 1 cropped.jpg and Image:2005 Evo at Deal's Gap 2 cropped.jpg. The first is sharper and more tightly cropped, the second is from slightly more of an angle so that you can see more of the front and roof and it shows more of the background.

I'm replacing the image on the article with the second, because the sharpness of the first doesn't matter when it's a 250 pixel thumbnail. However, if anyone wants a pretty nice high-resolution photo of an Evo, the first image is great! TomTheHand 23:47, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

"Rash" deletions
User:Rps reverted my last round of deletions to restore two sections:
 * 1) "Alternative cars". WP isn't a buyers' guide, and furthermore we cannot and should not try to read the minds of readers. Alternatives to the Evo are many. Buyers may want an authentic rally-rep. But equally they may merely want a fast four-door, in which case they can think of Audi RS4s or BMW M3s. They may want a sharp-handling car, in which case everything from a Lotus Elise to a Mini Cooper are viable alternatives. They may want something Japanese. They may want something costing no more than £xxx or $xxx. Etc etc. And a 2008 Focus RS, aside from being unavailable in many of the Lancer's markets and therefore irrelevent, is, as the text indicated, entirely speculative. Just because the only alternatives you would consider are authentic rally reps doesn't mean every other buyer is the same. No original research (deciding what cars are or are not alternatives), and no speculative crystal balling.
 * 2) "In pop culture". Entirely unsourced, entirely non-notable, and flying in the face of the current purge of trivia and pop-culture articles and/or sections.

I've removed them again, You were bold, you were reverted, now discuss it, otherwise in the absence of any compelling arguments to keep them they will continue to be removed. --DeLarge 22:58, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't this article contain a section for the Evolution VIII?
Shouldn't this article contain a section for the Evolution VIII? Although it contains a combination of fact and opinion, perhaps something like the text below?

NOTE: The following text came largely from www.Edmunds.com, although I have modfied/improved/rewritten/excluded many portions:

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII had its front fascia resculpted to include Mitsubishi's new corporate style, the split-grille with prominent nose and a stronger bumper that meets the 2.5-mph impact requirement in the U.S. Inlets remain numerous so that the intercooler gets as much fresh air as possible. Standard HID headlights allow the driver to look down the road at any time of day; taillights are of the clear-lens variety. The rear spoiler is a large, aggressive rear wing. The body-hugging Recaro seats have been widened. The gas tank has been enlarged to 14 gallons.

The computer-controlled Active Center Differential with driver-selectable terrain settings didn't make it to the U.S. production car, but only the most advanced drivers are apt to find fault with the less sophisticated viscous coupling unit. Under ideal traction conditions, the front/rear torque split is 50/50, and the ratio is automatically adjusted when slippage occurs.

The U.S. Evolution VII's turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four is rated for 271 hp at 6,500 rpm and 273 at 3,500 rpm. The tachometer redline falls at 7,000, with a top-end of 9,000-rpm. The power comes on strong near the top end.

The five-speed manual transmission gearing is identical to that of the Evolution VII's, though the first and second gears have been fitted with an additional synchro each for smoother engagement and better feel during high-speed shifts, as well as greater durability.

Other hardware carried over directly from the Evolution VII to the Evolution VIII, including the large Brembo brakes (12.7-inch rotors in front, 11.8 inches in back), lightweight 17-inch Enkei wheels and specially designed Yokohama Advan A046 tires, sized 235/45WR17. Mitsubishi also include a water sprayer that automatically gives the intercooler a spritz during high operating temperatures. A competition-oriented Sports ABS system incorporates sensors that measure steering wheel angle, wheel speed and lateral and longitudinal G-forces to regulate the braking force applied to each wheel. The idea is to give the driver more control when entering a turn on a road course or his favorite twisty two-lane. Electronic Brakeforce Distribution is also included.

As noted in the www.Edmunds.com comparison test: "the steering is ultraquick; few cars on the market can match this kind of response, although it took a few laps before feeling comfortable with it; road feel through the wheel was superb, perfectly communicating how our actions in the cockpit were affecting the tires; around turns, the firm suspension (struts in the front, a multilink-modified wishbone design in the rear) did all the work, yielding flat body attitude and perfect balance when exiting turns; meanwhile, the tires offered progressive levels of howl, such that we knew well in advance when we were approaching the breakaway point."

Also noted by www.Edmunds.com: "Good as the Evo is, your confidence when driving it on a track (or a public road) has much to do with your own skill. Less experienced drivers who buy this car should strongly consider a performance driving course in order to get the most fun possible out of their purchase."

Credit management

Credit management is the process of granting credit, setting the terms on which it is granted, recovering this credit when it is due, and ensuring compliance with company credit policy, among other credit related functions. This task is often performed by a credit manager who is a person employed by an organization to manage the credit department and make decisions concerning credit limits, acceptable levels of risk, terms of payment and enforcement actions with their customers.

The goal within a bank or company, in controlling credit, is to improve revenues and profit by facilitating sales and reducing financial risks. A structured credit policy ensures that the credit team uses a standardized method for managing a customer’s credit risk. This leads to consistent credit decisions and eliminating compliance issues because there is an audit trail.

Tasks
Credit management and the credit manager function is often combined with Accounts Receivable and Collections department of a company.

The role of credit manager is variable in its scope and a Credit Managers are typically responsible for:

 * Controlling bad debt exposure and expenses, through the direct management of credit terms on the company's ledgers.
 * Maintaining strong cash flows through efficient collections. The efficiency of cash flow is measured using various methods, most common of which is Days Sales Outstanding (DSO).
 * Ensuring an adequate Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is kept by the company.
 * Monitoring the Accounts Receivable portfolio for trends and warning signs.
 * Hiring and firing credit analysts, accounts receivable and collections personnel.
 * Enforcing the "stop list" of supply of goods and services to customers.
 * Removing bad debts from the ledger (Bad Debt Write-Offs).
 * Setting credit limits.
 * Setting credit terms beyond those within credit analysts' authority.
 * Setting credit rating criteria.
 * Setting and ensuring compliance with a corporate credit policy.
 * Pursuing legal remedies for non-payers.
 * Obtaining security interests where necessary. Common examples of this could be PPSAs, letters of credit or personal guarantees.
 * Initiating legal or other recovery actions against customers who are delinquent.

Types of credit managers
Credit managers tend to fall into one of three groups depending on the specific legal and jurisdictional knowledge required:

 * 1) Commercial Credit Manager
 * 2) Consumer Credit Managers
 * 3) Construction Credit Managers

Construction Credit Management
Construction Credit Management is considered an specialist area of credit management for the construction industry that require specific skill due to the nature of construction projects. These include:

 * 1) Strong knowledge of security and lien law within the province, state or territory,
 * 2) The ability to understand how money moves through the construction pyramid
 * 3) People skills that go beyond traditional credit management in that the credit manager may be required to deal with managerial and non-managerial staff of both the white and  blue collar variety,
 * 4) A basic knowledge of construction and the willingness to make site visits if needed.

Australia
Credit managers in Australia obtain memberships from the Australian Institute of Credit Management (AICM). Qualifications and continuing education can also be obtained from here.

Canada
Credit professionals in Canada can obtain the official designation, Certified Credit Professional - CCP (formerly known as the Fellow Credit Institute — FCI), from the Credit Institute of Canada.

France
Credit professionals in France can obtain memberships, continuing education and certification through the French Association of Credit Managers, called Association Française des Credit Managers AFDCC.

United Kingdom
Credit managers operating within the United Kingdom can obtain accreditation from the Chartered Institute of Credit Management, called the Chartered Institute of Credit Management from 1 January 2015 after it was granted a Royal Charter.

United States
Credit managers in the United States can obtain memberships, continuing education and certification through the National Association of Credit Management. Certification levels include Credit Business Associate, Certified Credit and Risk Analyst, Credit Business Fellow, Certified Credit Executive, Certified International Credit Professional and International Certified Credit Executive.

Pathiramanal

Pathiramanal (പാതിരാമണൽ) is a small island in Muhamma panchayat of Alappuzha district located in Vembanad Lake. The name Pathiramanal means 'midnight sand'. It is home to many rare varieties of migratory birds from different parts of the world.

Geography
The Pathiramanal Island is 28.505 ha. It is about 1.5 km from Muhamma boat jetty and about 13 km from Alapuzha. From the jetty close by Baker Bungalow the distance to the island is about 5 km and from Kumarakom 4 km towards northwest.

 * Maximum length: 550m (SW to NE)
 * Maximum width: 450m (SE to NW)
 * Perimeter: 1800 m
 * Estimated Area: 19.6 ha
 * Distance to the nearest main land: 810m

History
The island (also known as Anantha Padmanabhan Thoppu) was purchased by Chevalier ACM Anthraper, from M/s Bheemji Devji Trust of Cochin and was under the private ownership of Thaimattathil Family until the late seventies. When Land Reforms Acts were enforced in the State in 1979, the island came under government ownership. The island was returned to the government as a surplus land that crossed the land ceiling. It was later transferred to the Tourism Department and the idea of leasing it out to private enterprises was under consideration. The island at present is uninhabited. Till late seventies of the 20th century 14 worker families resided in the island, who were later rehabilitated on the mainland in the Muhamma panchayath.

Birdwatching
The island is home to around 91 local species of birds and 50 migratory birds. One can see pintail ducks, common teal, night heron, cormorant, darter, Indian shag, purple heron, gulls, terns, large egrets, intermediate egret, cattle egret, Indian pond heron, little egret, pheasant-tailed and bronze-winged jacanas, stork-billed kingfisher, watercock, whistling duck, cotton pygmy-goose, little cormorant and whiskered tern. Some people have even reported seeing the monarch flycatcher.

Formatting error affecting placement of images - Wikipedia's January '23 new look to blame?
In the present state of the article (March 2023), some quirk of the formatting I'm not able to diagnose is pushing half of the in-article images down into the References section, where they're overlapping with the text. Scrutiny of the article history makes it look like the problem is the inclusion of a second image in the infobox, but an examination of the page code also shows that the non-infobox images are outright not displaying where they're meant to be - they're meant to be included under Description and Breeding. If you go by the article history, the images haven't been displayed in the proper places for over three years; but the article's last edit was in November 2022, and I don't credit that nobody noticed it before then. As such, I suspect that the actual culprit here is Wikipedia's big display changes in January 2023. Either way, somebody better-versed in Wikipedia's formatting than I am will need to take a look at this. 86.178.19.176 (talk) 17:50, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

About me
"Any time something is written against me, I not only share the sentiment but feel I could do the job far better myself. Perhaps I should advise would-be enemies to send me their grievances beforehand, with full assurance that they will receive my every aid and support. I have even secretly longed to write, under a pen name, a merciless tirade against myself."

I'm an American who has been living in Germany for the past 20 odd years. I have a degree in Computer Sciences from the University of Applied Sciences in Augsburg, Germany with an interest in history and philosophy. Oh yes - both German and English are my native tongue.

My political views
As I have edited a few contentious issues in the field of politics, I feel some should know about my views.

 * I believe that most people are fundamentally good. That does not mean they always do good. Ignorance, poverty and poor judgement have been the mother of enough problems.
 * I don't subscribe to any ideology. Nothing is worse then an ideology. That includes as much religion as politics.
 * War is evil. It sometimes is the lesser evil. Sometimes

In that spirit, if you dislike anything I write, talk with me. I promise I'll be as open minded as humanly possible.

Wikipedia:Disinformation

 * For similar concepts see WP:Vandalism and WP:Conflict of Interest

Disinformation on Wikipedia is the practice of intentionally spreading false information for the purpose of deception and to promote discord. It concerns state-sponsored efforts such as by so-called "Russian troll" accounts, and other countries known to use social media and other outlets for the spread of disinformation. It is distinct from regular propaganda, conflict of interest or vandalism in that it involves state-actors (or state-sponsored or condoned actors) and is a form of information warfare ie. a weapon meant to cause harm.

The purpose of this page is to centrally collect links and information about disinformation as it relates to Wikipedia.

Summary: Discusses ways Wikipedia might get compromised with disinformation attacks.

2015 New York poisoned turkey incident

Summary: Russian disinformation trolls used Wikipedia in conjunction with Twitter and Tumblr to promote fake news in 2015. They created a hoax story about a food poisoning attack in New York, then created a Wikipedia page about it (2015 New York poisoned turkey incident), then tweeted about it thousands of times. The fake story was quickly uncovered and a Sock Puppet Investigation blocked 4 accounts. Those accounts were "sleepers" previously making uncontroversial edits while establishing user editing privs. They previously edited articles about Hillary Clinton, the Central Intelligence Agency and American extremist groups.

Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17

Summary: Someone from the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK) was caught editing a Russian-language Wikipedia reference to MH17. The edit placed the blame for the downing on Ukraine and deleted any fault of Russia. The edit was caught by a Twitter bot that monitors Wikipedia edits made from Russian government IP addresses.
