Kingston Seymour

Kingston Seymour is a small village and civil parish with royal status in Somerset, England. It is situated within the unitary authority of North Somerset, between Clevedon and Weston-super-Mare on the North Somerset Levels. The parish has a population of 388.

History
The late medieval village cross stands on "The Triangle".

The parish was part of the hundred of Chewton.

The village suffered serious flooding in the Bristol Channel floods of 1607 when the sea walls were breached and the church in Kingston Seymour was said to have 5 ft of water in it for ten days. The parish, which extends to the Severn Estuary coast, saw flooding on a regular basis as late as the 1800s. After flooding, the land was considered unsuitable for dairy cattle for some time and the resulting bad air was said to cause "attacks of the ague" in local people.

Kingston Seymour school opened its doors in 1858. Closing in 1968, the building was then used as an office for the local drainage board and later as a spinning and weaving centre. It has now been converted into a private house.

The village used to be on the route of the Clevedon branch line a 3.5 mi railway line that ran from Yatton railway station to Clevedon. It was opened in 1847 and passenger services ceased in 1966. The last original bits of track, around Kingston Bridge, were lifted in the late 1980s.

A motorway service area for the adjacent M5 motorway was planned to be built near the village, although there is no evidence on the ground of this. Land was purchased by the department for the Environment but plans were shelved in the 1990s, with the Department for Transport announced that the existing service areas would be suitable and that there was no need to develop another one at Kingston Seymour. The land was still owned by the Highways Agency as recently as 2006.

Governance
The parish council has responsibility for local issues, including setting an annual precept (local rate) to cover the council's operating costs and producing annual accounts for public scrutiny. The parish council evaluates local planning applications and works with the local police, district council officers, and neighbourhood watch groups on matters of crime, security, and traffic. The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, such as the village hall or community centre, playing fields and playgrounds, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning. Conservation matters (including trees and listed buildings) and environmental issues are also of interest to the council.

The parish falls within the unitary authority of North Somerset which was created in 1996, as established by the Local Government Act 1992. It provides a single tier of local government with responsibility for almost all local government functions within its area including local planning and building control, local roads, council housing, environmental health, markets and fairs, refuse collection, recycling, cemeteries, crematoria, leisure services, parks, and tourism. It is also responsible for education, social services, libraries, main roads, public transport, trading standards, waste disposal and strategic planning, although fire, police and ambulance services are provided jointly with other authorities through the Avon Fire and Rescue Service, Avon and Somerset Constabulary and the South Western Ambulance Service.

North Somerset's area covers part of the ceremonial county of Somerset but it is administered independently of the non-metropolitan county. Its administrative headquarters is in the town hall in Weston-super-Mare. Between 1 April 1974 and 1 April 1996, it was the Woodspring district of the county of Avon. Before 1974 that the parish was part of the Long Ashton Rural District.

The parish is represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom as part of the North Somerset constituency (previously Woodspring county constituency). It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election, currently Liam Fox of the Conservative Party.

Geography
The village is close to Blake's Pools a nature reserve owned by Environment Agency and leased by the Avon Wildlife Trust, on the banks of the Congresbury Yeo close to its mouth. The three freshwater and brackish pools were dug between 1983 and 1987 to attract wildlife. It forms part of the Severn Estuary Site of Special Scientific Interest, Special Protection Area and Ramsar site.

Religious sites
The Anglican parish Church of All Saints dates from the late 14th or early 15th century and is in the Perpendicular Gothic style. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building. The porch contains a plaque which describes the Bristol Channel floods which affected this area of coastal Somerset in 1607. During that event the floodwaters rose over the top of the church's pews and filled the font. The plaque records the date as occurring in 1606 using the old style dating system in use at the time however the flood occurred during 1607 on the current (new style) dating system.

Yablunytsia Pass

The Yablunytskyj Pass is a pass through the Carpathian Mountains in Ukraine, located in the south-western part of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. It is one of several passes connecting Transcarpathia with the rest of the country. The headwaters of the Prut River are in the northern end of this pass, and its southern end is part of the Tisza River valley. The pass used to be a state border several times in history. Until 1920 it was a border between Kingdom of Hungary and Poland, later Habsburg Empire. In the interwar period (1920-1939) it was a border between Czechoslovakia and Poland. Between 1939 and 1945 it was a border Hungary and Poland, later Generalgouverment.

Wikipedia talk:Korea-related topics notice board/Archive 1

Archive of old and concluded business from Wikipedia talk:Korea-related topics notice board. See also: archived requests, archived proposals, archived announcements

Housekeeping
Currently at User:Visviva/KRT, I've put a list of about 180 Korea-related articles that do not currently conform to Korean article template. I am in the process of working through them and bringing them all up to code.

If you'd like to help out, please pick an article from the list, and make sure it has:
 * 1. A name table from among those listed at Template talk:Koreanname
 * 2. A section titled "See also," containing at least a link to the List of Korea-related topics.
 * 3. The message  at the top of the Talk page.
 * 4. A reciprocal link from the List of Korea-related topics (helps with future housekeeping)

Please also take the time to fix any glaring errors of spelling, grammar or style. If there are too many errors to handle, please add the message at the top of the article page, and also add it to Korea-related topics notice board/Complete to do.

Once that's all done, please edit User:Visviva/KRT and remove the article from the list. Then, if you'd like, come back here to post and boast. :-) -- Visviva 04:44, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Searching for lost sister-in-law
I am searching for a woman who used to be my sister-in-law. She married my brother in the 70's & had 2 sons. My brother abused her & she fled, fearing for her life. Her 2 sons, now in their late 20's have not seen their mother since. I am researching all I can about her & plan to travel to Korea to search for her family. I know she came from Uijeongbu. Her maiden name was Ok Sun Choe, not sure of the spelling though. My brother has since been totaly removed from the picture. He is now in prison, serving life with no parole for abusing his other children. My intention in searching for this woman is to apoligize to her for not trying to help her when she needed my help & also to help my 2 nephews find their mother & let her know she is a grandmother now.

Does anyone have any ideas? If I knew of any businesses or individuals in the Uijeongbu area perhaps they might be of some help in my search.

I have a feeling Ok Sun Choe is still in the US, possibly in California. I think I might have more luck finding her relatives than her though. That is the reason I am planning a Korean trip in the future.

I hope to here from anyone who might be able to assist me. You can contact me at : biromalou@aol.com

Again, thanks for any help or ideas on this. William Louthan

Silhak
I suggest the title "Neoconfucian Realism" or "Later Silhak." The term Silhak was used in two distinct periods by two distinct groups.

The Neo-Confucians first used the word (meaning true learning) as they viewed Neo-Confucianism as such, in comparison to Buddhism that was dominant until the end of Goryeo. The second (and more popular) meaning of Silhak was given by the later Neo-Confucians, generally out of office, who claimed the importance of practical knowledge such as mathematics, agriculture and commerce over the highly theoretical disputes of the mainstream Neo-Confucians. The latter meaning is referred as "Hugi Silhak(Later Realism)" in contemporary sources.

There has to be a disambiguation page for Silhak with a link to Neo-Confucianism (as it is redirected now) and another to either Neo-Confucian Realism or Later Silhak. Leave me a commennt here or in my talk page, and I'll create the article shortly. -- User:Caffelice

Unicode
I think we should strive to use unicode as much as possible, since on most of the computers that I have used outside of Korea (i.e., all but one I configured myself), I have not been able to read the Hangul. 19:38, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

 * English Wikipedia only recently supported Unicode fully. (Beforehand we've always had to use the "&#" HTML entities.) It is quite natural that many computers cannot view Hangul characters outside Korea. I don't know about other operating systems, but Windows XP and 2000 can view East Asian characters only if Asian fonts are installed, and Windows ME and 98 only if the appropriate language packs for Internet Explorer are installed. I don't think these have anything to do with Unicode, though. If you can see Hangul in Unicode, you can see Hangul in EUC encoding or in HTML entities. - KittySaturn 18:13, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

(I will need to check the birding project page out as well) -- related to this, having a different index associated with maps (what are you likely to see in this area), and of course other characteristics as a different index (size, color, markings, etc.) ... an ideal use for hypertext.

The One to Sing the Blues

"The One to Sing the Blues" is a song by the British rock band Motörhead, which Epic Records released in a number of formats; 7-inch and 12-inch singles, cassette-single, CD-single as well as a shaped picture disc. It reached number 45 in the UK Singles Chart. It is the opening track on the 1916 album. It was the band's first CD single.

Although its official release date is 5 January 1991, Lemmy stated it "came out a few weeks earlier – on my birthday, as a matter of fact", which is 24 December 1990 continuing to say "that's a really great song – maybe we'll put it back in the set one of these days".

Critical reception
In review of 5 January 1991 Paul Elliott of Sounds found the main riff of this song "somewhere between Thin Lizzy's 'Sha La La' and 'Massacre', with some killer lead from Würzel." In the end Elliott summarized: "Still the ugliest, still the loudest."

Single track listing
All songs were written by Lemmy, Würzel, Phil Campbell, and Phil Taylor.

Zagor (comics)

Zagor is an Italian comic book created by editor and writer Sergio Bonelli (pseudonym Guido Nolitta) and artist Gallieno Ferri. Zagor was first published In Italy by Sergio Bonelli Editore in 1961.

Character
Zagor's real name is Patrick Wilding, the son of Mike and Betty. He is a western-tarzanesque character living in a fictional forest named Darkwood, located in Pennsylvania, north eastern United States. His name Zagor comes from his Indian name "Za-Gor Te-Nay", whose fictional meaning is "The Spirit with the Hatchet". Though the writers do not mention exact dates, Zagor is supposed to be active during the first half of the 19th century, or around 1825–1830. Zagor fights to maintain peace all over his territory, protecting the Indian tribes and hunting down criminals regardless of their skin color. Son of an army official retiring to live as a pioneer and trapper in the forests of the north-east, Patrick Wilding sees his parents die at the hands of a band of Abenaki Indians, led by Salomon Kinsky. Taken in by the middle-aged trapper nicknamed "Wandering Fitzy", the boy grows up with only one thought on his mind: revenge. Fitzy teaches him how to make a deadly weapon out of a hatchet, and when he is old enough to fulfill his vengeance, Patrick goes on to track down and mercilessly slay his family's assailants. As he is about to enact his revenge on defeated Kinsky, Patrick is presented with the evidence of his father's dark past. Lieutenant Mike Wilding was a ruthless leader of the force which massacred the Abenaki community on the banks of Silver Lake, an event which saw him dishonorably discharged from the army. The attack on the Patrick's home on the shore of Clear Water river was, in fact, a rightful retribution for commander Wilding's wrongdoings. As Kinsky is about to gun down confused and distracted Patrick, Fitzy arrives in time to save the life of his protégé but, in doing so, is mortally wounded and dies in Patrick's arms. The boy's understanding of the relativity of the concepts of good, evil and justice comes in question as he is devastated with pain, grief, confusion and the genocide of his own that mirrors the one committed by Mike Wilding years ago.

To atone for his father's sins, as well as his own, Patrick is compelled to transform himself (with his accomplices the Sullivans, a family of acrobats who are his image makers) into Za-Gor-Te-Nay, shortened to Zagor. He is a kind of avenger always ready to side with the weak and the oppressed, whether red, white or black, whoever they may be. Moving his shack to an island surrounded by quick-sand in a marshy area of Darkwood Forest, Zagor begins his work as a peacemaker. He takes Darkwood tribes under his wing earning himself a distinction of the Lord of Darkwood, beloved and respected by peaceful natives and trappers, and feared and hated by anyone who would endanger the peace between reds and whites. Zagor is not a typical western character, as his stories mix horror and science fiction by side with a bit of humour coming mostly from his sidekick Chico, a short, fat Mexican man who became his best friend. His full name is "Don" Chico Felipe Cayetano Lopez Martinez y Gonzales.

Abilities
Zagor's abilities include almost superhuman strength, agility and endurance. His fighting prowess is extraordinary whether he finds himself in a gunfight or plain brawl. If needed, Zagor is more than capable of dealing with multiple opponents and is basically invincible in a one-on-one bout. In many occasions, he is also seen fighting North American wildlife (such as cougars, alligators and even bears) with nothing more than his hatchet or knife. He is infallible with his oval bladed hatchet, whether he uses it as a melee weapon or as a projectile. Zagor is also shown possessing an incredible speed that, paired with his almost catlike reflexes, often allows him to catch a traveling spear or even an arrow, a feats which usually leave Indians in an awe further solidifying Zagor's status of an emissary of the Great Spirit (a superstition that Zagor uses to his advantage). Zagor can quickly cover great distances using his trademark branch-to-branch way of traveling where he jumps from one treetop to another. His war cry seems to be a roar of an unidentifiable (and presumably horrific) creature. This is one of Zagor's calling cards, the one which usually leaves wrongdoers in a frantic state of mind.

Throughout the series, it is strongly suggested that Zagor, although not a demi-god that he claims to be, is indeed in Manitou's good graces and on more than few occasions he has served as a champion of heavens against the forces of evil drawing his strength from the divine intervention (best example being the storyline of Hellingen's Return - episodes #275 through #280). Later stories have also hinted that Zagor's great abilities could come from him being a descendant of an Atlantean royalty or perhaps a reincarnation of an ancient African deity.

Although capable of near-superhuman feats, there were rare instances when Zagor was bested by certain extraordinary individuals. In a contest of skill (trials of power, speed, reflexes, marksmanship, breath-diving and beast-fighting) against multi-talented villain Supermike, Zagor is forced into a seventh round tie-breaker - a life-or-death duel atop of a small platform surrounded by the garden of spikes and daggers (which he, eventually, wins convincingly while even managing to spare the life of an opponent).

When it comes to a fair slugfest, there were very few foes able to hold their own against the Spirit with the Hatchet. Such is the case with the Alchemist Robert Gray. In the episodes Criminal Genius (#252) and The Rebellion of the Mohawks (#253) Zagor and Gray duke it out twice with Zagor coming on top the first time around and Gray winning the second duel. It is worth noting, though, that Gray had an advantage of his steel prosthetic hands thus forcing brutally beaten Zagor to dishonor himself by resorting to shoot the unarmed opponent. Another example of worthy adversary comes in the face of Captain Otto Kraus, commander of the special paramilitary unit called the Black Wolves (episode #32 - The Fugitive). Kraus, proficient practitioner of the unnamed oriental martial arts, although weary from hours of being chased by Zagor and the Pennacooke Indians, still manages to K.O. Zagor in a convincing fashion, just before he is, ironically, shot dead by a surviving member of his own unit for deserting the squad on the battlefield.

Allies and enemies
Notable allies:

Chico (Felipe Cayetano Lopez Martinez y Gonzales) - Short obese bumbling but kindhearted Mexican. He is Zagor's loyal companion and a comic relief throughout the series.

Tonka - Chief of Mohawk tribe and Zagor's blood brother.

Digging Bill - Treasure hunter.

Captain "Fishleg" - Commander of a whaler.

Colonel Norman Perry  - Military doctor and influential person in the army brass.

Baron Icarus LaPlume (Feather) - An inventor obsessed with flying who always ends up victim of his own devices.

Drunky Duck - Indian postman whose unorthodox ways of delivering mail infuriate Chico.

"Doc" Lester - Trapper and former dentist. Has an elusive past.

Rochas - Trapper always engaged in fists challenges with Zagor.

Bat Batterton - Private detective who always fails the disguises.

Many Eyes - Shaman which embraces white people's medicine and technology. One of the few Indians to know Zagor's true identity.

Frida Lang - Austrian countess and Zagor's love interest.

Memorable enemies include:

Professor Hellingen - Mad scientist and Zagor's nemesis. Not only that he is capable of creating a doomsday devices but he has also managed to cheat death and return to the land of the living to wreak havoc not once, but twice.

Kandrax - Celtic druid who wields mystical powers.

Mortimer - Scheming genius and a conspirator. Inspired by A. C. Doyle's professor Moriarty.

SuperMike - Man of many talents and abilities and Zagor's evil counterpart.

The Alchemist (Robert Gray) - Terrorist with prosthetic arms and expert in chemical warfare. One of very few persons to defeat Zagor in a fistfight.

One-eyed Jack - Glass-eyed outlaw.

Baron Rakosi - Vampire.

Popularity outside Italy
Even though Zagor is popular in Italy, it is even more popular in Croatia, North Macedonia and Serbia, where it is being published to this day; his stories are also published in other former Yugoslav republics Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia. In former Yugoslavia, Zagor was published by the Serbian publication Dnevnik in its Zlatna Serija edition from 1968. Although not as popular, Zagor comics are also published in Austria. Zagor has been published in India by Lion Comics in October 2022.

Zagor is one of the most popular comic heroes in Turkey since the 1960s. Two unofficial Zagor movies have been produced in Turkey in 1971, Zagor - Kara Korsan'in hazineleri and Zagor - Kara Bela. Zagor was also published in Greece and in Israel in the 1970s, where, during that time, Tex Willer was published as well.

Since 2015, Epicenter Comics released in the United States the English-language edition of Zagor comics, still ongoing in 2024. The first of the three-part story ''Zagor! Terror from the Sea was published in 2015, including extra essays, introduction texts and original covers with an exclusive Michele Rubini cover; in 2016, a second Zagor book in English was published, titled "The Red Sand''", including essays and texts, with 400 pages and a Rubini cover. The third book "Voodoo Vendetta" was also published in 2016, with three essays. In 2017 a fourth book named "Zagor vs Supermike" was released with a poster celebrating Ferri. They also released a book called: "1000 Faces of Fear" with three different covers by Michele Rubini, Stefano Andreucci and Pasquale Frisenda.

Dublin 8

Dublin 8, also rendered as D8 and D08, is a historic postal district in Dublin. D8 is one of only two postal districts to span the River Liffey. While the majority of the code's built up areas are on the southside, it also includes northside areas such as the vast Phoenix Park. A 2018 article in The Irish Times noted that, while the area was historically known for the manufacture of silk and wool, Dublin 8's "streets, alleys and quaysides are [now] replete with hipster cafes, cocktail bars and family-friendly restaurants".

Area profile
Dublin 8 was named one of the "coolest neighbourhoods" in the world by Time Out in 2021. Forecasting by Knight Frank, which put the area on a so-called global hot list, has indicated the district could face property price growth of up to 20% in the coming years. However, further research has shown that rapid, large-scale transformation and gentrification in the postal code has left some of its residents feeling powerless and voiceless.

On Heytesbury Street, the area is home to the largest collection of intact one floor over basement houses in the city. This is a style of home unique to Ireland. The Victorian structures were built for the lower middle classes from the 1830s onwards, as the city's population increased despite the Great Famine.

Notable places
Dublin 8 includes Dolphin's Barn, Inchicore, Islandbridge, Kilmainham, Merchants Quay, Portobello, South Circular Road, the Phoenix Park and the Liberties. Notable buildings include Christ Church Cathedral and St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Usage in Dublin addresses
Colloquially, Dubliners simply refer to the area as "Dublin 8". The postal district forms the first part of numerous seven digit Eircodes that are unique to every single address in the area. For addressing purposes, it appears in both its original form as Dublin 8 and as the first part of a seven digit postal code as D08 a line below. For example: Liberties College Bull Alley Street Dublin 8 D08 A8N0

Larissa (regional unit)

Larissa (Περιφερειακή ενότητα Λάρισας) is one of the regional units of Greece. It is part of the region of Thessaly. Its capital is the city of Larissa. Total population 268,963 (2021).

Geography
Larissa is the second largest regional unit in Greece, exceeded only by Aetolia-Acarnania. It covers about one-third of Thessaly. It borders the regional units of Kozani to the northwest, Pieria to the northeast, the Aegean Sea to the east, Magnesia to the southeast, Phthiotis to the south, Karditsa to the southwest and Trikala to the west.

The tallest mountain in Greece, Mount Olympus (2,917 m) is situated in the northeastern part of the regional unit. Mount Ossa is situated in the east, at the Aegean coast. The lower stretch of the river Pineios flows through the Vale of Tempe, between Olympus and Ossa.

The northern part is covered with forests, but most of the regional unit is fertile land, the Thessalian Plain.

Climate
Larissa has a mainly Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. Winter is harsher in the mountains areas, notably the north and Mount Olympus. Larissa is often the warmest area in Greece in summer and the coldest in winter. The highest temperature ever recorded was 45.4 °C (2000) and the coldest was -21.6 °C (1968). The city experiences very often temperatures over 40 °C.

Administration
The regional unit Larissa is subdivided into 7 municipalities. These are (number as in the map in the infobox):
 * Agia (2)
 * Elassona (3)
 * Farsala (7)
 * Kileler (4)
 * Larissa (Larisa, 1)
 * Tempi (5)
 * Tyrnavos (6)

Prefecture
Larissa was created as a prefecture (Νομός Λάρισας) in 1882. As a part of the 2011 Kallikratis government reform, the regional unit Larissa was created out of the former prefecture Larissa. The prefecture had the same territory as the present regional unit. At the same time, the municipalities were reorganised, according to the table below.

Historical Provinces
Note: Provinces no longer hold any legal status in Greece, they were abolished in 2006.
 * Province of Larissa (Larissa)
 * Province of Tyrnavos (Tyrnavos)
 * Province of Agia (Agia)
 * Province of Elassona (Elassona)
 * Province of Farsala (Farsala)

History
The area of Larissa was home to the Pelasgians until they merged into the broader Greek culture. The area was invaded and was ruled by the Kingdom of Macedonia a few centuries later, and was conquered by the Roman Republic after the Third Macedonian War. The Roman imperial period was followed by Byzantine rule, which was in turn succeeded by the Ottoman Empire. Parts of Thessaly revolted during the Greek War of Independence, but Thessaly remained under Ottoman Turkish rule. It was awarded to Greece in the Congress of Berlin in 1878, and finally incorporated into the Hellenic Kingdom in 1881, albeit parts of the modern Larissa prefecture, including Tyrnavos, Elassona and Sarantaporo, remained Ottoman. During the Greco-Turkish War of 1897, the area was successfully invaded by the Ottomans, but in the end Greece conceded only minor territorial losses. The northern portions of the prefecture, the Tempe Valley and Mount Olympus, were taken by Greece during the First Balkan War in 1912-1913.

The economy increased since the annexation in 1881 and later after 1913 for the north. After the Greco-Turkish War in Asia Minor of 1920-1922, refugees were relocated to the Prefecture. Several villages were created for them across the prefecture. During World War II, the area was a major scene of partisan activity. The occupation and the subsequent Greek Civil War however destroyed most of the local infrastructure. From the 1950s on, the road network was significantly expanded: the GR-1 was opened in 1957 and extended in the 1960s to the Tempe Valley. In 1984, the University of Thessaly opened its doors.

Economy
Its main economy since the 1970s are manufacturing, businesses, communications and services. Agriculture is the second leading industry.

Agriculture
The Thessalian Plain is famous for its crops including fruits (watermelon and melon), vegetables (tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, onions, etc.), cotton, dairy, cattle and other crops.
