Pearl Lang

Pearl Lang (May 29, 1921 – February 24, 2009) was an American dancer, choreographer and teacher renowned as an interpreter and propagator of the choreography style of Martha Graham, and also for her own longtime dance company, the Pearl Lang Dance Theater. She is known for Appalachian Spring (1944), American Masters (1985) and Driven (2001)

Career
A native of Chicago, Lang began her dance training as a child and studied acting at the Goodman Theatre. Her dance teacher was Frances Allis who taught movement for actors as well as her own modern dance technique which has many similarities to Graham's. Lang studied Allis technique and performed with her company in Chicago. In 1938, at the age of 17, she enrolled in a program for gifted students at the University of Chicago, where she remained until 1941, the year of her move to New York. Born Pearl Lack, she adopted the stage name, "Pearl Lang", she studied with Martha Graham and Louis Horst and joined the Martha Graham Dance Company where she remained as a soloist from 1942 to 1952, and as a guest artist from 1954 through the late 1970s. She was the first woman to dance Martha Graham's roles in seven dances of Graham repertoire which she performed intermittently for thirty years to critical and audience acclaim. She was an original cast member in Deaths and Entrances, Punch and the Judy, Land Be Bright, Imagined Wing, Diversion of Angels, Canticle for Innocent Comedians, Ardent Song, Dark Meadow, Night Journey, Eye of Anguish, and Appalachian Spring. She was also a featured dancer in Broadway productions of Carousel (1945–47), Finian's Rainbow, and Peer Gynt.

In 1952, she founded her own company, Pearl Lang Dance Theater, for which she choreographed sixty-three works, thirty-six of which were based on Jewish themes. She choreographed for film, opera, and television and her works have been performed by the Dutch National Ballet, Boston Ballet, and the Batsheva Dance Company of Israel. In 1970, she invited Alvin Ailey and his company to share a three-story building with her dance company at 229 East 59th Street in Manhattan where, together, they co-directed the American Dance Center as a joint school. Pearl Lang Dance Theater's last New York season was held at the Danny Kaye Playhouse in 2001.

Among the many citations and awards that Lang received are two Guggenheim Fellowships for Choreography; the Martha Graham Award for Performance and Choreography; The Workmen's Circle Award for her contribution to Jewish Culture through Dance; the Achievement Award from the Artists and Writers for Peace in the Middle East; the Achievement Award from the Congress for Jewish Culture; the Cultural Achievement Award from the National Foundation for Jewish Culture; Queens College Award for Excellence in Jewish Art, and from the Juilliard School, an Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts on May 19, 1995. In 1997, she was inducted into the Hall of Fame by the International Committee for The Dance Library of Israel. In 2001 at the American Dance Festival she received the award for "Lifetime Distinguished Teaching".

As a teacher, Lang reached generations of young dancers. She served on the faculties of Yale University from 1954 to 1968, Juilliard School of Music from 1952 to 1969, Connecticut College and Neighborhood Playhouse from 1963 to 1968, and the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance up until shortly before her death. Among her many students were singer Madonna and choreographer Pina Bausch.

Lang was recuperating from hip surgery when she died of a heart attack in Manhattan, at age 87. She lived on the Upper West Side with her husband, actor Joseph Wiseman, to whom she had been married since 1964. Wiseman himself died less than eight months later, on October 19.

Basic Rights Oregon

Basic Rights Oregon is an American nonprofit LGBT rights organization based in Portland, Oregon. It is the largest advocacy, education, and political organization working in Oregon to end discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Basic Rights Oregon has a full-time staff, a contract lobbyist, and more than 10,000 contributors, and 5,000 volunteers. It is a 501(c)(4) organization that maintains a 501(c)(3) education fund, a state candidate PAC and a ballot measure PAC. The organization is a member of the Equality Federation.

Background
Oregon Citizens Alliance (OCA), an organization that opposed LGBT rights, successfully backed the passage of a 1988 ballot measure revoking the ban on sexual-orientation discrimination in the state's executive branch. In 1992, when OCA proposed a ballot measure to prohibit the "encouragement" of homosexual lifestyles in public schools, Oregonians who supported LGBT rights raised over $2 million and were successful in defeating the measure. OCA continued to promote similar measures at the local level and promised another statewide ballot in 1994. In response activists pressured for a stable political organization and formed Support Our Communities-PAC (SOC-PAC) in 1993. The following year, SOC-PAC successfully organized the opposition to another OCA proposal, a ballot measure to ban the recognition of homosexuals as a minority group. Oregon Ballot Measure 9, in the year 2000, would have prevented any positive or neutral language from being used by educators or administrators in all Oregon public schools from kindergarten through Ph.D. Prohibition of Public School Instruction on Homosexual Behaviors, Measure 9 (2000).

Advocacy
Basic Rights Oregon held its first meetings in 1995 and became a 501(c)(4) organization in 1996.

In 1999, Basic Rights launched the Fair Workplace Project, which was designed to increase the number of employers voluntarily adopting nondiscrimination policies.

In 2002, Basic Rights Oregon endorsed Democratic candidate Bill Bradbury for election to the United States Senate, opposing the Human Rights Campaign, a national LGBT rights organization, which endorsed the re-election of the Republican incumbent Gordon H. Smith.

In 2004, Basic Rights Oregon, nine same-sex couples, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Multnomah County joined as plaintiffs against the State of Oregon, the Governor, the Attorney General, the Director of the Department of Human Services, and the State Registrar in a suit, Li v. State, in the Oregon Supreme Court seeking a declaration that the statutes (ORS chapter 106) prohibiting same-sex couples from marrying on the same terms as different-sex couples violated the Oregon Constitution.

In 2004, Basic Rights Oregon worked against Ballot Measure 36, which amended the Oregon Constitution to prohibit same-sex marriage. Although Basic Rights Oregon raised nearly $3 million to fight the measure, it passed with 57% in favor and 43% opposed. Following this loss, Basic Rights Oregon hired its first team of field organizers and pushed nondiscrimination ordinances in Washington County, Bend, Hillsboro, and Wasco County.

In 2007, Basic Rights led the lobbying effort to pass the Oregon Equality Act and the Oregon Family Fairness Act.

In 2012, following years of education and collaboration with Basic Rights Oregon, the state Insurance Division issued a bulletin banning many private insurers from selling discriminatory policies in Oregon.

In 2015, in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling on Marriage Equality, Basic Rights Oregon adopted a new strategic direction for 2015–2020. The new strategic direction seeks to center the voices of LGBTQ people of color, of rural and religious LGBTQ Oregonians, and of transgender and gender non-conforming Oregonians.

In 2015, Oregon became the third state to ban the discredited practice of conversion therapy on minors. Basic Rights Oregon joined the effort begun by the Democratic Party of Oregon LGBT Caucus in 2013 to pass HB2307, the Youth Mental Health Protection Act, which was signed into law by Governor Kate Brown, the nation's only out bisexual governor.

In 2017 Oregon passed HB 2673A - effective January 1, 2018 - simplifying the process for changing the name on a birth certificate, and also establishing a gender amendment process for transgender citizens. The revisions provide less expensive, more private and simpler transactions. The Department of Motor Vehicles also changed its procedure for gender changes on IDs, allowing Oregonians to self-certify gender change without input from their health provider. Furthermore, effective July 1, 2017, the DMV made Oregon the first state in the country to recognize non-binary identities. The third marker on IDs is "X", for "not specified."

As of January 1, 2018, contractors working with the state of Oregon must have in place policies and practices which prohibit discrimination against their LGBTQ employees. The sponsor of the successful bill, HB 3060, was Rep. Ann Lininger. The measure also prevents state contractors from health care discrimination based on gender identity.

In 2023, Basic Rights Oregon hosted a virtual event with Unicorn Solutions and ODHS to bring to light fostering LGBTQ+ youth in the foster system. ODHS is working in conjunction with Basic Rights as well as the National Suicide Prevention, to hold events to educated families about fostering LGBTQ+ youth and keep people educated in the rising LGBTQ+ suicide rates.

IPA transliterations
Hi, they look pretty good. One thing to keep in mind though is that only l, n, and m can be syllabic (with the little line under them). k and p are not syllabic in English; instead there's a shwa before them. --Angr (t·c) 05:14, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your additions of IPA stuff. I fixed an extra ] you left in the Pasco, Washington article, but I'm wondering what the double { brackets are around the IPA pronunciation you put in. It looks like standard coding for a template, but it seems to not work as one. Care to clue in a noob? Alexlockhart 11:25, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The template is the IPA template. It formats the text so it shows clearly in Internet Explorer.  You can see the markup at  Manual of Style (pronunciation).  the iBook of the Revolution 22:27, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Wow, cool! I didn't notice the problem since I use Firefox, but the manual you linked to showed me how bad it would look in IE and what a good workaround the IPA template is.  I'm something of an amatuer linguist, so it's neat to see WP providing so well for a good pronunciation scheme, and I'll start adding IPA stuff to articles also.

A Wee Bit of Irish
Hello iBook, I was just browsing through wikipedia and I stumbled across your userpage, and noticed your interest in Irish Gaelic. So I thought I'd give you a free breakdown of your userbox on the subject!

Níl Gaeilge ag an úsáideoir seo, nó is beag atá sí aige. Is not Irish at the user this or is little that is at him.This user does not know Irish, or knows a little.

Níl = is not Gaeilge = Irish ag = at an = the úsáideoir = user seo = this nó = or is = is beag = little atá = that is sí = it aige = at him

And if you want to know how to pronounce (as if it were in English...) Nyeel Gayle-ge ag an oosa-jer shaw, naw is bag a-taw she egg-eh

Maybe you know all this already, but as the old saying goes "learn again to never forget", or did I just make that up. Sounds good anyway!. Slán Brian 22:32, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

New Wiki
Hi, I'm looking for people who could be interested in a wiki about depression. I see you mention it on your user page so I wondered if you might want to contribute. The wiki is one of the many at Wikicities, a project started by Jimbo and Angela. I'm hoping it will be a real resource for people affected by depression. If you want to have a look, it's at http://depression.wikicities.com. I see you may be mostly away from Wikipedia at the moment, but perhaps you could call in when you are back. Thanks -- sannse (talk) 14:03, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Could you add the IPA pronounciation to Durian, perhaps? —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 23:56, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Not sure what the action is here. I originated the achromatic focal curve, drew it myself based on typical achromat C-F color correction and typical green secondary spectrum. I said that it was originated by me (Mike Jones). I will certainly consider responding to your request once I understand what you've asked me to do. Walk me through it, OK?--Mike 22:29, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

IPA
thanks for pointing out the current stylebook for pronunciation. I appreciate that. For Spokane, I agree, the IPA should be included and should be first. but I think the "spō-can" example should not be removed and I think it falls under the style guideline of "can include rhymes with, etc." thanks, Catherine --cda 19:46, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

From one Oregonian to another. Do you have plans to attend OSCON next month? (Or will you even be in Oregon over the summer break?) I am in the process of organizing a BOF on Wikipedia for that, & would like to invite you to it.

The Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, in partnership with social practice artist Shoshana Gugenheim and as part of the Art+Feminism Project, will host the 2nd Annual International Women's Day Wikipedia Edit-a-thon to edit and/or create Wikipedia articles for Jewish women artists.

Proposed deletion of Mengluni

The article Mengluni has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: "It doesn't meet WP:SIGCOV for WP:NALBUMS. It requires independent evidence, which this article fails to provide; it only has an external link and no footnotes for inline citations."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Livingston & Stanley
the so-called meeting between Dr. David Livingston and Henry Stanley in Gondokoro (village) never happened. Dr. Livingston was on a expedition to discover the the source of the Nile river. while the Nile (Blue and White) does indeed pass through Bari lands like Juba, the source of the nile is much further south and definitely not in Sudan. I am deleting the entire section. — la gaie 04:19, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

La gaie: If you dispute the meeting between Dr Livingston and Henry Stanley, I do not see how you justified deleting the rest of the script. It appears that you misunderstood the usage of "gateway". There was no where in the the narative indicating that Gondokoro was the source of the Nile! So I have reinserted the description pertaining to the towns in the Bari Land. — Loro LoLaja Kujjo 04:45, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

 * You're right. I misunderstood. — la gaie 21:12, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

To do list
I've removed the cleanup tag and placed the "More topics on the Bari of the Nile" list here
 * clans, and totems
 * Birth of a child (Names, outing, etc)
 * Taboos
 * Legendary Figures Among the Bari, e.g. Pitia Lugor (the Rain God). Softgrow 21:57, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Religion, Any people that are well known among the Bari (Any special clan leader etc) Sugarpop2301 (talk) 05:55, 17 September 2020 (UTC)Sugarpop2301

I am adding in a paragraph about the religion. There will be information about various ceremonies and sacrifices the Bari made with what they meant. Sugarpop2301

Sources?
What sources is this article based on? There is a lot of specific information, but no clue as to where it came from.

There are books listed under "References" but no footnotes. If you’re not sure how to do footnotes, please state which books were referred to for which topic. Then another editor can refer to it and put in footnotes as needed. — ℜob C. alias ᴀʟᴀʀoʙ 04:44, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Karo people (East Africa)
Pojulu, Bari, Kuku, Nyangwara, Kakwa and Mundari are all part of Karo people (East Africa). It is a misnomer to call them 'Bari-speaking'. Trying to put things into their proper perspectives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ewudu (talk • contribs) 07:09, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

[copied from that article's talk page]
 * So this the work of Luka Monoja. So the Bari-speakers don't like the term "Bari"? Is that's why it's the official of Central Equatoria State now? la gaie (talk) 20:22, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Merged. I forgot about this. — kwami (talk) 22:21, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Karo is more current in Uganda. Bari is more current in South Sudan. They refer to the same macroethnicity. Bari is much more common outside East Africa and is almost always used for the language group. As far as I know, neither name is controversial. There is a Bari proper in Equatoria so the issue might be nascent separatism in the smaller tribes. -- Lestadii27 (talk) 18:42, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

License tagging for File:ImDisk-main.png
Thanks for uploading File:ImDisk-main.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 06:06, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * License tag added :) HuGo_87 (talk) 06:18, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: Software Licensing (Windows Live Messenger)
Hi Hugo87, please have a read of Software license, adware is not a software license. Windows Live Messenger is a proprietary licensed-software. "Adware" is simply a type of classification/category for the software and even if it is stated in the license that advertisements will be supported, it doesn't mean the license itself is "adware". I have no problem changing the Category:Freeware to Category:Adware as the freeware category was definitely incorrect. However, do note the difference between "software categories/types" and "software licenses". --Pikablu0530 (talk) 23:35, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war  according to the reverts you have made on Android (operating system). Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. SudoGhost 18:20, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Logitech MX Revolution
Hi! I redirected a whole bunch of products to a list of ... products based on the fact that none of them had any claim to notability or external references that hinted of notability. Most of them contained technical specs, a single paragraph or so with text (with a few exceptions) as well as a list of supported games. This is not inline with a number of policies, as it's indiscriminate information, unverified and in some cases can be regarded as product promotion. So instead of deletion, I chose to merge into a list, as it would let us keep some data, as well as remarks for those products who needs it. Some of the products may of course turn out to be notable, and if so the article(s) should be recreated with proper sourcing, and it should conform to relevant guides and policies. Bjelleklang -  talk 21:48, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi again. If you look at the column named Remarks, I've already noted there that it had a special scrolling wheel. Feel free to add any other features, but please keep the field as short as possible. Also remember that there is a thin line between being informative and promoting a product, so any claims of being the only mouse with this feature should be covered by a reference. I've only just begun working on the list, so any input is welcome. Add any types of data you think is missing from the tables, what I've listed so far are just the basics.

Notability of Pastor Melissa Scott
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Pastor Melissa Scott, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Pastor Melissa Scott seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Pastor Melissa Scott, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)

"Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)" is a show tune composed by Irving Berlin for the 1946 Broadway musical Annie Get Your Gun. The song is a duet, with one male singer and one female singer attempting to outdo each other in increasingly complex tasks.

In the musical, the song sets the scene for the climactic sharpshooting contest between Annie Oakley and Frank Butler. Its most memorable lines are, "Anything you can do, I can do better; I can do anything better than you." The song was first performed in Annie Get Your Gun by Ethel Merman and Ray Middleton.

During the song, they argue playfully about who can, for example, sing softer, sing higher, sing sweeter, and hold a note for longer, and boast of their abilities and accomplishments, such as opening safes and living on bread and cheese, although Annie almost always seems to counter Frank's argument. Neither can "bake a pie," though.

Notable versions

 * Ethel Merman and Ray Middleton from original cast recording (1946).
 * Bing Crosby, Dick Haymes and The Andrews Sisters—recorded for Decca Records on March 19, 1947.
 * Groucho Marx and his daughter Melinda Marx (a child at the time) in home movie footage used for select TV specials.
 * Ethel Merman and Howard Keel (1950)
 * Betty Hutton and Howard Keel in the 1950 film version of the musical
 * Mary Martin and John Raitt on the 1957 National Tour recording
 * Doris Day and Robert Goulet for the Columbia Records album Annie Get Your Gun (1963)
 * In 1963, Heidi Brühl and Robert Trehy performed a German version in the stage version of this musical at the Theater des Westens in Berlin.
 * Ethel Merman and Bruce Yarnell in the 1966 revival recording.
 * Dusty Springfield and Freddie Paris on Bandstand (1967).
 * Robert Morse and an office computer in 1968 TV series That's Life, episode S1E11 "Bobby's Pink Slip"

List of Military Brats
Unremarkable and unverifiable list. Recommend delete. Peter Grey 04:21, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Title is slang. List is going to be either, a) unmaintainable and a violation of WP:NOT Indiscriminate Info due to the fact that its criteria for inclusion are "Everyone who had a parent in the armed forces", or b) requiring an arbitrary notability cut-off for inclusion, which is bordering on original research.  Add to that the fact that this information, while pertinent in any person's biography, forms a list that has no benefit or usefulness and that stand-alone lists should be discouraged at all costs, and there's no reason to keep this list in a merged or categorized format.

Cuffs (Iowa State University)

Cuffs is a student group at Iowa State University that was formed in 2000 to discuss issues related to bondage, discipline, domination and sadomasochism.

The group made national headlines when in 2003, then-Cuffs president Harlan (Duane) Long requested $94 in funding from the student government in order to print fliers. Many people complained that student funds shouldn't be used for such a "deviant" group. However, the funding request was eventually approved by a vote of 21–9.

Cuffs again was the subject of national attention when the group was disciplined by ISU for allegedly committing assault during a BDSM-related demonstration at one of their meetings (on November 10, 2003). Cuffs unsuccessfully appealed the disciplinary ruling to the Iowa Board of Regents, which refused to hear the case. The end result of the disciplinary action was that Cuffs was prohibited from performing any type of demonstrations at future meetings.

As of September 2020, Cuffs is no longer an active student organization at Iowa State University.

Yu Dafu

Yu Wen, better known by his courtesy name Yu Dafu (December 7, 1896 – September 17, 1945) was a modern Chinese short story writer and poet. He was one of the new literary group initiators, and this new literary group was named the Creation Society. His literary masterpieces include Chenlun (沈淪, Sinking), Chunfeng chenzui de wanshang (春風沈醉的晚上, Intoxicating Spring Nights), Guoqu (過去, The Past), Chuben (出奔, Flight) and so on. Yu Dafu's literary works' writing style and main themes profoundly influenced a group of young writers and formed a spectacular romantic trend in Chinese literature in the 1920s and 1930s. He died in the Japanese-occupied Dutch East Indies, likely executed.

Early years
Yu was born in Fuyang, Zhejiang province. His father died when he was three, leaving the family poverty-stricken and destitute. He received a number of scholarships through the Chinese government and went on to receive a traditional Chinese education in Hangzhou. Chronologically he studied in Jiangxing Middle School (before he came to Hangzhou), Hangzhou Middle School, Hangchow Presbyterian College (育英学堂).

In 1912, he entered Hangchow University (later its major part merged into Zhejiang University) preparatory through examination. He was there only for a short period before he was expelled for participation in a student strike.

He then moved to Japan, where he studied economics at the Tokyo Imperial University between 1913 and 1922, where he met other Chinese intellectuals (namely, Guo Moruo, Zhang Ziping, and Tian Han). Together, in 1921 they founded the Chuangzao she (創造社, Creation Society), which promoted vernacular and modern literature. He published one of his earlier works, the short story Chenlun (沈淪, Sinking), his most famous, while still in Japan in 1921. "Sinking" reflects a problem, which is that both China and Japan were once powerful countries in Asia, but at that time, in contrast to Japan's successful national modernization, China has not successfully achieved national modernization. Yu Dafu was ashamed of this, and he used such a story to express a sense of national shame, but in fact, this story's background does not match the facts. The work had gained immense popularity in China, shocking the world of Chinese literature with its frank dealing with sex, as well as grievances directed at the incompetence of the Chinese government at the time.

In 1922, he returned to China as a literary celebrity and worked as the editor of Creation Quarterly, editing journals and writing short stories. In 1923, after an attack of tuberculosis, Yu Dafu directed his attention to the welfare of the masses.

In 1927, he worked as an editor of the Hongshui literary magazine. He later came in conflict with the Chinese Communist Party and fled back to Japan.

Second Sino-Japanese War
After the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War, he returned to China and worked as a writer of anti-Japanese propaganda in Hangzhou. From 1938 to 1942, he worked as a literary editor for the newspaper Sin Chew Jit Poh in Singapore.

In 1942 when the Imperial Japanese Army invaded Singapore, he was forced to flee to Pajakoemboeh, Sumatra, Indonesia. Known under a different identity, he settled there among other overseas Chinese and began a brewery business with the help of the locals. Later he was forced to help the Japanese military police as an interpreter when it was discovered that he was one of the few "locals" in the area who could speak Japanese.

In 1945, he was arrested by the Kempeitai when his true identity was finally discovered. It is believed that the Japanese executed him shortly after the surrender of Japan.

Works

 * Yín huīsè de sǐ 银灰色的死 A Silver-Grey Death (1921)
 * Chenlun 沈淪 ("Sinking", 1921) ("Drowning", in English, Sunny Lou Publishing, ISBN 978-1-95539-217-4, 2021)
 * Chunfeng chenzui de wanshang 春風沈醉的晚上 Intoxicating Spring Nights (1924)
 * Nine Diaries 日記九種 (1927)
 * Guoqu 過去 The Past (1927)
 * Chuben 出奔 Flight (1935)
 * Boundless Night (1922)

Writing style
Yu Dafu's literary works are principally autobiographical in nature. There are many expressions with personal subjective colors in his works. He expresses his thoughts and feelings through the protagonist in the story. Moreover, the plot in the story is created based on his personal experience. Besides, his relationships with people around him are included in his works, such as his relationship with his mother and wife. It is precise because his works are derived from his own life that contemporary readers are very interested in his literary works.

About Yu Dafu's sentimentalism:Yu Dafu's sentimentalism was born in the decadent social reality of the "May 4th Movement Era". "The decadent ethos once swept through the world under the banner of aestheticism, and caring about morality was seen as something incompatible with emancipating the mind and reflecting the truth, which was 'decadent art'." Yu Dafu had an emotional resonance with this. At this time, Yu Dafu's creations were filled with gloomy and depressing "end-of-the-century emotions", but Yu Dafu's "end-of-the-century emotions" were based on the premise of resisting negative reality.

The story "Sinking" is considered one of the earliest psychological novels in modern Chinese novel history. At the same time, this story is viewed as a representative of romanticism, which satisfies one of the main literature characteristics during the May Fourth period. The protagonist in the "Sinking" quotes from Chinese literature texts, like the verses of Wang Bo 王勃 (Poet of Tang Dynasty) and Huang Zhongze 黄仲则 (Poet of Qing Dynasty). Besides, the protagonist in the story not only quotes from Chinese literature texts, but he also quotes from Western literature texts, like the poems of Wordsworth (British poet) and Heine (German poet).

In the mid-1920s, Yu Dafu changed his writing style. His writing style changed from romantic individualism to collectivism, especially in new women's image expression. In the "Intoxicating Spring Nights", Yu Dafu described how a female factory worker regained her self-confidence in a difficult situation. He created an image of a proletarian woman who can strengthen the protagonist.

Main themes
Yu Dafu's work is considered by leading scholars to be iconoclastic and controversial. His heroes, which supposedly reflect the author are "By turns voyeur, fetishist, homosexual, masochist, and kleptomaniac." The sexually repressed heroes cannot relate to women. No matter whether the Chinese literature text or the Western literature text is cited in the "Sinking" short story, the same theme is expressed: loneliness. Yu Dafu believes this is a kind of thoughts and feelings that are not understood by other people. He used this melancholy state of mind to express the degeneration of the characters in the short story. At the same time, Yu Dafu laid the foundation for the criticism and self-reflection of Chinese international students' literature. The alleged 'decadence' of Yu Dafu's novels, whether in a pejorative or in an aesthetic sense (i.e.'Decadence' as an artistic movement) has been considered by some Chinese Marxist critics to be a sign of Yu Dafu's moral corruption, but Shih argues that Yu Dafu's writings constitute a serious-minded critique of China's political plight and perceived social conformism. Indeed, concern for the person and the nation are intimately linked in his work, and the effeminate and ailing body serves as a metaphor for the weak and sickly nation.

Nice work on the Godard expansion; there's lots of French New Wave authors directors who need help if this happens to be an area of interest for you. I'd like to caution you about two Wikipedia policies you're skirting, though: No original research and Neutral point of view. Statements like "Pierrot le fou is considered to be Godard’s most complete work cinematically" and "The term revolutionary, however, gives a more accurate impression than any other," though they may be wholly accurate, stake out a critical position that's not quite appropriate for Wikipedia; the best way to include these statements would be by citing a specific critic or group of critics that holds the particular position (unless you can demonstrate a critical consensus on the issue, which would require even more citation).

These cavils aside, I very much like your expansion and your prose style. Nice work, and I hope I'll see you on some other film articles soon! Feel free to contact me if there's anything you need, --Dvyost 04:26, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

The People United Will Never Be Defeated!

The People United Will Never Be Defeated! (1975) is a piano composition by American composer Frederic Rzewski. The People United is a set of 36 variations on the Chilean song "¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!" by Sergio Ortega and Quilapayún, and received its world premiere on February 7, 1976, played by Ursula Oppens as part of the Bi-Centennial Piano Series at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Concert Hall. Rzewski dedicated the composition to Oppens, who had commissioned it, and who recorded it in 1979; her recording was named "Record of the Year" in that year by Record World, and received a Grammy nomination.

Analysis
The song on which the variations is based is one of many that emerged from the Unidad Popular coalition in Chile between 1969 and 1973, prior to the overthrow of the Salvador Allende government. Rzewski composed the variations in September and October 1975, as a tribute to the struggle of the Chilean people against the newly imposed repressive regime of Augusto Pinochet; indeed the work contains allusions to other leftist struggles of the same and immediately preceding time, such as quotations from the Italian traditional socialist song "Bandiera Rossa" and the Bertolt Brecht/Hanns Eisler "Solidarity Song".

In general, the variations are short, and build up to climaxes of considerable force. The 36 variations, following the 36 bars of the tune, are in six groups of six. The pianist, in addition to needing a virtuoso technique, is required to whistle, slam the piano lid, and catch the after-vibrations of a loud attack as harmonics: all of these are "extended" techniques in 20th-century piano writing. Much of the work uses the language of 19th-century romanticism, but mixes this language with pandiatonic tonality, modal writing, and serial techniques.

As in the Goldberg Variations by Johann Sebastian Bach, the final variation is a direct restatement of the original theme, intended to be heard with new significance after the long journey through the variations.

Tagish Road

The Tagish Road (also known as Yukon Highway 8) is a 33 mi road, now hard surfaced, that links Jakes Corner on the Alaska Highway with Carcross, Yukon on the Klondike Highway. 1 mi from Jakes Corner is the terminus of the Atlin Road. The small community of Tagish is located 12 mi from Jakes Corner.

Until the Alaska Highway was completed in 1943 along Marsh Lake, the Tagish Road was a vital segment of the original Alaska Highway route opened in the fall of 1942. For many years, a long wooden bridge was a vital link over the Tagish River, but a concrete bridge replaced it. Rerouting and realignment of the first 12 mi was completed in June, 2005.

Vice-Chamberlain of the Household

The Vice-Chamberlain of the Household is a member of the Royal Household of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom. The officeholder is usually a senior government whip in the British House of Commons ranking third or fourth after the Chief Whip and the Deputy Chief Whip. The Vice-Chamberlain is the Deputy to the Lord Chamberlain of the Household and, like the Lord Chamberlain, carries a white staff of office when on duty on state occasions.

The Vice-Chamberlain's main roles are to compile a daily private report to the Sovereign on proceedings in the House of Commons and to relay addresses from the Commons to the Sovereign and back. As a member of the Royal Household, the Vice-Chamberlain accompanies the Sovereign and Royal Household at certain diplomatic and social events, particularly the annual garden party at Buckingham Palace. When the Sovereign goes in procession to Westminster for the State Opening of Parliament, the Vice-Chamberlain stays and is "held captive" at Buckingham Palace. This custom began with the Stuart Restoration (1660), because of the previous parliament's role in the beheading of Charles I. During their captivity the Vice-Chamberlain is offered a choice of champagne or sherry to drink by the Lord Chamberlain as they watch the State Opening of Parliament on television.

During the latter part of her reign, the Vice-Chamberlain sent a daily email to Elizabeth II. The Queen was regarded as well informed about British political affairs as she typically read daily newspapers and was a listener of the Today programme on BBC Radio 4. The late queen's private secretary told Andrew MacKay, who held the post in 1996, to include more "gossip and the inside track" as his initial efforts had been "rather stilted". MacKay turned his efforts into a "who's up, who's down" for the queen. Anne Milton, who held the post in 2014 and 2015, looked for things that "might amuse" the queen and to "give a bit of colour" to the proceedings in the House of Commons. The Queen reportedly told Jim Fitzpatrick, who held the post of Vice-Chamberlain between 2003 and 2005 to send her news which "doesn't make the press" and that he felt encouraged to be "frank and transparent" with her due to the privacy of their communications. Emails began to be sent to the Queen at Buckingham Palace in 2014; the dispatches had previously been collected by a messenger.

Notable holders of the office include Sir George Carteret, Lord Hervey, the Earl of Harrington, the Earl Spencer, Michael Stewart and Bernard Weatherill.

Dragan Džajić

Dragan Džajić (Драган Џајић; born 30 May 1946) is a Serbian football administrator and former player who is the current president of the Football Association of Serbia from 14 March 2023.

Džajić is widely considered to be one of the best footballers to emerge from the former Yugoslavia, and one of the greatest left wingers of all time. Džajić was known for his crosses, passes, dribbling with great pace, natural technique and his left footed free kicks.

In November 2003, to celebrate UEFA's Jubilee, Džajić was selected as the Golden Player of Serbia and Montenegro by the Football Association of Serbia and Montenegro as their most outstanding player of the past 50 years.

Club career
Born on 30 May 1946, in the small town of Ub, 60 kilometres outside Belgrade, Džajić's football career (1961–1978) was spent primarily with Red Star Belgrade. A left winger, his career with the club spanned 590 games and 287 goals by winning five league titles and four Yugoslavian Cups. In 1969, Džajić received the Sport newspaper's Golden Badge award for Yugoslavia's best athlete. He is considered to have been one of the most important players in the history of the club and is one of only five players to have been awarded the Zvezdine zvezde status.

Early starter
Džajić was plucked from the relative obscurity of his local club, FK Jedinstvo, by Red Star Belgrade youth coach Miljan Miljanić, spending two years in the club's youth system.

Though only 17 years and 8 days of age, Džajić was handed his first team debut by head coach Miša Pavić in a Yugoslav First League match against FK Budućnost Titograd on 8 June 1963, which finished 0–0. It was the last week of the 1962–63 league season with FK Partizan already clinching the league championship and Red Star hovering in 7th place, out of European spots. The match was played at Omladinski Stadium at Karaburma because Red Star's famous home Marakana was in the final construction stages.

Džajić started out as a left-back but it was further up the flank that he made his impact. An expert dribbler, his left foot provided a constant stream of goals for teammate Vojin Lazarević. Džajić was rewarded with championship medals in 1964, 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1973, while he lifted the cup in 1964, 1968, 1970 and 1971.

Semi-final defeat
European Champion Clubs' Cup success very nearly came his way too. In the 1970–71 season, Red Star Belgrade reached the semi-finals of the top continental club competition, and beat Panathinaikos FC 4–1 in the first leg in Belgrade. Džajić was suspended for the return in Athens, however, which the Greek team won 3–0 to go through on away goals.

Bastia
From 1975 to 1977, he played for SC Bastia in France (scoring another 31 times). He is considered to have been one of their most notable players of all time.

International career
Džajić was just 18 when he was first named to the Yugoslavia national team. He made his debut on 17 June 1964 in a 2–1 defeat against Romania at the JNA Stadium in Belgrade. Džajić would go on to earn 85 caps (the most in the history of the Yugoslavia national team) and score 23 goals. He became renowned for his passing, dribbling and goal-scoring. He played in the 1968 European Championship semi-final against England, in which his 87th-minute lob over the goalkeeper Gordon Banks gave Yugoslavia a 1–0 victory against the then world champions. The British press dubbed him "the magic Dragan". He went on to score in the final against Italy but could not prevent Yugoslavia losing 2–0 after a replay.

Džajić said about his most well-known international matches (at Euro 1968):

Džajić participated in the 1974 FIFA World Cup, which was held in West Germany. He played in Yugoslavia's opening championship game draw with world champions Brazil and scored one goal in a record victory of 9–0 against Zaire. After passing the second stage of the championship, Yugoslavia didn't repeat the results of their opening games. They lost three games in a row, and had to return home.

Administrative
Džajić retired as a player in 1978, at the age of 32. Right away, he began performing a role as Red Star's technical director. In his first season in the new administrative role, the club reached the UEFA Cup final. Džajić became the main decision-maker within the club when it comes to transfer policy.

In 1998, Džajić became the club's president – a position he resigned from in 2004 due to health issues.

Corruption allegations and presidential abolition
On 31 January 2011, the trial started in which Džajić was charged of fraud perpetrated during the sale of players from Red Star Belgrade during Džajić's time as the president of the club, specifically Nemanja Vidić. Džajić pleaded not guilty. The charges against Nemanja Vidić were dropped. Nemanja Vidić also denied all accusations against Dragan Džajić.

On 16 November 2012, Tomislav Nikolić, the President of Serbia, signed an exempt from criminal liability of all charges. This abolition ended all legal proceedings against Džajić.

Return to Red Star and re-election as president in 2012
It was stated by local Serbian newspapers at the beginning of December 2011 that Džajić would return to the administration of Red Star, as it was believed that Džajić was the only one who could get Red Star back on track. However, nothing came of this. Džajić spoke to Blic (tabloid daily newspaper in Serbia) after the board meeting, saying: "I spoke with people from the club, the desire to return was not disputed, I wanted to help, because everything that I previously experienced with the club cannot be forgotten. I followed, listened to and read what happened at the meeting, I wanted to come back but nothing happened and life goes on. I remain available and in this case I can only wish Red Star better days."

On 19 December 2012, Džajić was elected as President of Red Star Belgrade for the second time. He resigned from the position on 19 June 2014. He was then chosen as honorary president of the club

On 14 March 2023, Dzajic was elected president of Football Association of Serbia for a mandate of four years.

Legacy

In November 2011, Džajić was named in "the greatest European Championship XI of all time" by Goal.com.

On 2 December 2022, Red Star Belgrade announced that the number 11 worn by Džajić will be retired from the 2023–24 season on.
