Image copyright problem with Image:Monoglyceride.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Monoglyceride.png. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Shyam ( T / C ) 06:45, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Phisigflag.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Phisigflag.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:43, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:A. P. Herbert

Untitled
"While in Parliament, he advocated the abolition of the entertainments tax, and for reform of the laws of divorce and obscenity."

More details on this? What were the reforms? -[drd]

 * His main divorce reform was the abolition of the King's Proctor, whose job was to ensure that there really was an innocent party. Couples who both misbehaved could not get divorced, which he thought absurd. --Henrygb 22:36, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Is this the same Sir Alan Herbert...
Who was in The Sky at Night in August 1966 http://open.bbc.co.uk/catalogue/infax/programme/LGF7010J

Is the statement on the above page correct, that the episode contained astrology (!?), I was thinking it may be a mistake... Would the great Sir Patrick Moore allow astrology on his rather scientific astronomy show? So I guess the question is- was Sir Alan a fan of astrology? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bitplane (talk • contribs) 07:16, 14 March 2007 (UTC).

 * He's almost certainly the same as any other Sir Alan Herbert floating around in the post-war years, and he did have as I recall an interest in sundials. (He also wanted to rename the constellations, and get everyone using sextants again. Wonderfully mad). I have no idea what "the use of sundials in modern astrology" means, but I suspect it's about the only thing they could find to talk about - after all, sundials are of no actual use for anything these days...

Baku, or the map game
AP Herbert wrote a funny poem about the difficulty of bombing your way to victory.

Patrick Osborn in "Operation Pike" (Praeger, 2000) says the poem was classified. He says it 'must be one of the few poetic efforts to be deemed "most secret" in world history' (pp 249-250) and in footnote 10 on page 258 says '"Baku, or, the Map Game," (undated but appears to have been writen in April 1940), AIR 9/138. It was indeed marked "most secret," and the author's name does not appear on the document.'

However, the poem was also published in AP Herbert's collection "Siren Song" (Methuen, 1940).

Baku, or the Map Game

It's Jolly to look at the map, and finish the foe in a day. It's not easy to get at the chap; these neutrals are so in the way. But what if you say 'what would you do to fill the aggressor with gloom?' Well, we might drop a bomb on Baku. Or what about bombs on Batum?

Other methods, of course, may be found. We might send a fleet up the Inn. We might burrow far underground and come up in the heart of Berlin. But I think a more promising clue to the Totalitarian doom is the dropping of bombs on Baku. And perhaps a few bombs on Batum.

The scale of the map should be small if you're winning the war in a day. it mustn't show mountains at all, for mountains may be in the way. But, taking a statesmanlike view, and sitting at home in a room, I'm all for some bombs on Baku. And, of course, a few bombs on Batum.

Sometimes I invade the dear Dutch. Sometimes I descend on the Danes. They oughtn't to mind very much, and they don't seem to have any planes. I slip through the Swiss and say 'Boo!'. I pop over the Alps and say 'Boom!'. But I still drop a few bombs on Baku. And I always drop bombs on Batum.

Vladivostok is not very far. Sometimes I attack him from there. With the troops in a rather fast car, I am on him before he's aware. And then, it's so hard to say who, is fighting, precisely, with whom, that I know about bombing Baku, I insist upon bombing Batum.

AIR 9/138 is "Plan MA6: Russian oilfields".

Maybe the poem was originally published in "Siren Song", and then quoted in AIR 9/138?

Who's the idiot who removed all his audio publications listed above? I had years published and ISBN numbers and all kinds of crap. I do all this work and someone undoes it. And what's this other crap listed from these people who haven't even read his works? I've read 49 of his books, and I don't think you should be able to bashing his work unless you've actually read it. some of you "skeptics" (which I don't believe in, BTW) are the reason why the wikipedia a co-founder called wikipedia "broken beyond repair" WANNA REFERENCE?

http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inquirer/news/2007/04/11/wikipedia-broken-beyond-repair-co-founder-says

 * that article says: Mind you, Sanger has something of an axe to grind as he's just launched his own encyclopaedia, citizendium.org, which will be monitored by boffins.
 * So dude, you are guilty yourself of manipulating quotes! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.37.243.183 (talk) 03:21, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

And yes, I have read just about everything of his and he has NEVER mentioned in any way shape of form the "new thought movement" Strike THREE, it's out.

There is no criticism from his work except from know-nothing, well uninformed, non-reading whiners that have never helped anyone do anything great. These kinds of people who sit in wikipedia and destroy others work, there has to be a term for these people. I will go toe-to-toe with anyone claiming to be a "Wayne Dyer" expert who is trying to squeeze their "pseudoscience and self-help idiocy" into his profile. How many millions do I have to make more than you because I've followed his teachings he brings from the worlds greatest thinkers before you will stop whining and start reading? Wayne Dyer teachers the teachings from ALL religious groups from all time. This is someone who unites, not some intolerant "skeptic" tearing down society with their useless nonconstructive whining. We need more people like this.

/rant. --Eckre (talk) 05:25, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Influences
I moved this here because it is all unsourced Pgc512 19:16, 10 April 2007 (UTC):

Wayne Dyer is influenced by and publicly gives credit to the Sufi poet Rumi, Taoism, and Jesus Christ. Some also see in his work influences from the work of Napoleon Hill ("thoughts are things"). Alan Watts [] is not mention by Dyer but certainly is one of his influences.

We have to get sources
There are no sources and I can't find anyone.........this is going to go into the wikipedia trash bin soon if there are not sources....any suggestions? Tmtoulouse 16:23, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Also it is clearly an ad for Wayne Dyer, its ganked from his bio on his site and is mostly praise and a book list. This guy is a proponent for pseudoscience and self-help idiocy, the positive claims need sources and it needs a criticism section. But to do this we need sources, which there are none that I can find. Anyone know where I should look?Tmtoulouse 16:29, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Here is a source that is worth checking out for a different point of view. This could add more substance to the article. It starts with one article and it looks like there are 13 more which give a different views. This would be for the "critical thinking" phase of the Dyer article. Anyway here it is Assesssing Dr. Wayne Dyer http://www.helium.com/items/759437-assessing-dr-wayne-w-dyer. Ti-30X (talk) 04:05, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

He mentions just about all of those authors in each book. I've read 42 to date. you want page numbers of ever book?, audio time stamps - what? he does mention Nap Hill in at least ten books.

"pseudoscience and self-help idiocy"
Is there any way we can work this into the article? Just kidding .... Pgc512 13:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with their point though, there is no criticsm of work. The insane 'Banana incident' was on there for ages! Gareth E Kegg 14:48, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Best Selling Book
TMT, what is the need for fact checking - See List of Best-Selling Books. It is already sourced there. Pgc512 00:19, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia is not a source, and can not be used to source a claim, you need a WP:ATT source. Tmtoulouse 00:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Does only 35 million sold make it "one of the best selling books of all time"? It's barely even in the top 40, marked as #36 in the list cited above, and would also fall around that range on most of the other "all time best selling" lists that are out there. Where does one draw the line before hyperbole and fan-ism kick in? The bible and quran aren't listed on that list either, and I'm pretty sure that they'd be on the first list driving that book even further down the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BobM NH (talk • contribs) 19:12, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

PBS
TMT, the article you reference says that it is safe to assume Dyer was popular and effective and that there were some letters from people who were disturbed in the way I described --- there is no indication of something widespread. Pgc512 00:19, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I will look through it again. Tmtoulouse 00:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

New Thought Movement
It is misleading to single out "New Thought" as THE label for Dyer's message. I can't recall him mentioning "New Thought" in any of the books, audio tapes, videos that I have seen. More often he mentions Christ, Buddha, Sai Baba, St. Francis, etc. So we could use many labels to describe his perspective. Better not to single one out. What do others think?

Plus, it strikes me that to put the "New Thought" label on Dyer is original research. Where is the source? What is one good reference? Pgc512 19:02, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

also in regards to this in particular, the closest dr dyer comes to mentioning for instance "the law of attraction" would be his reference in 'power of intention' he states more than once 'thoughts become things' but never actually categorizes it

Iyanla Vanzant
First you you removed the whole list, I think a list of similar writers is handy for those looking for other spiritual text. Do you know what New Thought is, he has mentioned other spritual writers who belong to the movement and not. Iyanla Vanzant is one. There is a philosophcial connection between these writers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JGG59 (talk • contribs) 21:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I just don't agree with the attempts to lace this article with "New Thought" references throughout, giving the impression that somehow this is what Dyer is all about.

I have been involved with Unity and other New Thought resources for a long time, and I have been editing and watching this page for a long time and if we start listing writers with a "philosophcial connection", we ought to include the follwing: Buddha, Jesus, Confucius, Michelangelo, Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, William Blake, Emerson, Thoreau, Shelley, Shakespeare, Yeats, Kipling, Shaw, Chief Seattle, Confucius, Langston Hughes and Dorothy Parker (At least he has spoken of these ...)

There are plenty of New Thought References left.

The Dyer article should not be used as a vehicle to promote any "Movement". Pgc512 12:29, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Claims as a prophet
He happened to be on the public station yesterday and I heard him make a joke "I'm a prophet, I get paid by the thought"

It was probably nothing, but that's a rather charged word and that's all I've seen of him saying it. I'm just wondering if there's any place where he's explained this term of application or claim of 'prophethood.' Peter Deer (talk) 01:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

religiouse beliefs/ personal life?
I have a copy of every book dr dyer ever wrote (not including 'gifts from eykis", I think his 'beliefs' have changed drastically over the course of huis work (most notably with the power of intention and his work on the tao 'change your thoughts change your life')

to say dr. dyer has 'spiritual beliefs' might be alot more accurate but youd have to make the ASSUMPTION (assumptions arent good for encyclopedias) that his most recent work reflects his beliefs, maybe more appropriate would be a summary of the message he is giving in a book by book format?

also the personal life shouldnt just mention his current home and family, when I get time I'll check some of his older works but I believe it would be useful to mention that he lived in an orphanage for a period (although referencing his own words in regard to that might not be the best citation), also his visit to his fathers grave had a notable influence on al of his writings.

Byron Katie 'New Age'?
In describing the legal dispute between her husband and Dyer, Byron Katie is described as a 'New Age author'; given that the phrase 'New Age' doesn't occur in the page about Katie, this claim seems to require a citation (or removal).

Personal info parked here until sources can be found
In, or around, July of 2009, Wayne Dyer stated on his radio show "Excuses Begone" that he had "some things going on in his body." He did not elaborate on it at that time. However, later, during Dr. Dyer's program on Hay House Radio, a caller referenced the aforementioned comment. This time, Dyer provided some details behind his health situation. Dyer stated that he has "Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia" (CLL) which he says is "not life threatening" for him. Dr. Dyer stated that he is "totally confident and at peace with it." He went on to say that he will be spending some time at The Chopra Center, operated by his longtime friend, Dr. Deepak Chopra.-- — Keithbob • Talk  • 18:51, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

There continues to be a large number of edits concerning Mr. Dyer's supposed death. However, there fails to be any sourcing for these edits. I'm hoping a Moderator can put a lock on this article until such time as it can be sourced.

Cause of Death
The New York Times states that a spokeswoman for his publisher, Hay House, said that the cause of his death was a heart attack. See here: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/01/arts/wayne-w-dyer-prolific-author-of-self-help-books-dies-at-75.html?_r=0 98.244.78.33 (talk) 02:06, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Presently someone is trying hard to to present unsubstantiated claims in the Death section that Dyer was cancer-free at time of death. They have posted a "Source"/Link to an article from The Inquistor which offers no such claim. The article provides links to Dyer's FB page but those links do not lead to any claims or credible sources to verify said claims. Most people do NOT own a Facebook account. I do not own one. Perhaps if I did those FB links would lead to different pages that members only can view? Unless you can provide a link to a credible news agency that is claiming to have seen the autopsy report or has spoken with the coroner and been told that Dyer was completely cancer-free at time of death, then I will continue to remove said claims from this article and/or request this article to be LOCKED. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SkibbingtonVonSkubber (talk • contribs) 12:21, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Statements claiming Dr. Dyer was cancer\leukemia free at the time of his death should not be included without a source from the autopsy report or doctor who performed it. That his blood was free of leukemia at death was a claim posted by a family member on social media just one day after his death, yet subsequently a person representing herself to be Dr. Dyer's daughter makes that same claim on this site but attributes it to an autopsy performed "a few days after his death." There was obviously an effort to spin the leukemia-free claim before it was actually possible to know if that was factual. - PizzaAddict (talk) 05:10, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

What date did Dyer die, August 29 or 30, 2015?
It has been pointed out about the sources differing slightly, with some saying he died on Sunday (Aug. 30), and others saying Saturday night (Aug. 29). The article presently shows August 30, though this edit, which I reverted as the user provided no explanation, changed it to the 29th. Deaths in August 2015 shows the date as August 29, which as I recall was initially reported as August 30 there (when it was in Recent deaths). MPFitz1968 (talk) 21:38, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

 * This has his daughter saying he died "late Saturday or early Sunday", which suggests to me that he died in his sleep when there was nobody present to witness it, and he was discovered dead on Sunday morning, and his time/date of death had to be estimated, and the confidence interval was too wide to be able to say definitively which side of midnight he passed away.

 * I guess we'd have to be guided by his death certificate, if we ever get access to it. His official site still makes no mention of his death, so that's no help.  It looks like all the media reports have just made up what they felt was the most likely date. Fwiw, the majority of them do say he died "late Saturday" (= 29th), rather than "early Sunday".  --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  22:42, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

I am his daughter and I have his death certificate. He died on Aug 30th. He died in his sleep and it was initially unknown whether it was late on the 29th or during the morning of the 30th, however his autopsy indicated with certainty that he died between the hours of 4-6 am on the 30th.

 * I found this on Wayne Dyer's Facebook page, which was supposedly posted by Reid Tracy. It talks about the death of Louise Hay, which occurred on August 30, 2017, but he mentions that Dyer also passed away on August 30, two years earlier. Mentioned below in the semiprotected edit request is that Tracy was Dyer's publisher. Some light could be shed on the details pertaining to Dyer's close friends and colleagues, as I have no idea about the connections. At this point, if there's gonna be any change to Dyer's death date in the article, this may be reliable to confirm the later date is correct, but as this is a primary source, I'm hesitant to use this and it's still better to have confirmation from an independent secondary source per WP:RS.

What do you physically want for this to be changed???? I can't give you the death certificate. My name is Saje Dyer, I am his daughter. My Dad died in his sleep and it was at first unknown whether or not this occurred on the night of the 29th or in the early hours of the 30th, because he was discovered around 9am Hawaii time. SO the date was misquoted for several days. However the autopsy results a few days after his death, confirmed that he died in the early hours of the 30th (specifically between 4-6am). I do not know what other proof you want, but as his daughter I'm pretty sure I would know better than you folks who are just speculating. What is your proof that it is the 29th? There is none, because it's false information. His publisher, Reid Tracy, has posted several times about it being the 30th. Look at my, or any of my siblings facebooks- it was the 30th! Please change this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:F103:F500:7C4D:4E8A:B9C9:4892 (talk) 15:35, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
 * We will still need independent, reliable sources, which state the definitive date of his death. Even that statement from Tracy, which might satisfy this requirement but I'm not completely sure, needs to be provided as a citation. Current sources in the article have stated both dates, including one published about a year ago that said August 29. Consensus needs to be established to change the date where there is dispute about it. Since you are posting under an IP, there's no way we can verify the identity of you being related to Dyer; even with a registered account, it is very difficult (if not impossible) to verify such a claim. And we can't use Facebook posts except if it's from a verified account, confirming that the person posting it is who they say they are (which is also not foolproof). Even at that, Facebook posts qualify as primary sources, and they can only be used to verify facts about the person owning the Facebook account, with extra caution needed about info regarding someone else, including the date of their death. MPFitz1968 (talk) 16:37, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

My Dad's Facebook page IS VERIFIED! Look at it. It has over 3 million followers and is run by Hay House - his publishers. They quote his death as Aug 30th. NEWSFLASH - the people closest to him (i.e. his family, his publisher) would know the specifics of his death over a complete stranger. This is a far more reliable source then you just picking between various news sources that do not have a consensus.

Unfortunately, I don't believe OTRS will be able to help which I'm sure will come as a disappointment. I respond partially as an OTRS agent, partially as an editor.

It is true that OTRS plays a role in verification of identities, and is my guess that's why I received this ping. (As an aside, verification of identities is tougher than one might imagine, because we have a prohibition against receipt of primary document such as passports drivers licenses, birth and death certificates, in other words, most of the document used to verify identity in the real world). Our verification of identity is generally limited to one specific situation, which doesn't apply here. On occasion, someone will create a username which corresponds to a famous person — roughly speaking and almost always the case, the subject of some article in Wikipedia. While we permit a broad array of names to be used as usernames, we don't want to permit someone to create a username which might suggest they are the subject, unless they actually are the subject. In those cases, the username is temporarily blocked until they can provide proof that they are the subject.

While John is correct that we cannot know for sure that the person posting this information is who they say they are, it wouldn't be sufficient for them to prove they are they say they are. I am in complete agreement the family members are more likely to know the facts than outsiders, and for this reason it seems obvious that we should take steps to verify that the individual is a family member. However, early in the history of Wikipedia we had to make a decision on what types of information are permitted and which are not, and we reached the decision that we follow today — if anything is challenged or likely to be challenged, it can only remain if it can be supported by a reliable, published source.

Because of one of the five pillars — to achieve a neutral point of view we want to "strive for verifiable accuracy". Verifiability means that any reader can look for the supporting reference and track it down. While that may be difficult in some cases because it might be a pay only reference, it is at least in principle possible. The information in OTRS is confidential, so it would not satisfy the goal of verifiability.

It seems clear that there was some confusion regarding the exact date initially, as is often the case. I can understand that the family might want the date reported accurately but this desire should extend to reliable publications not just Wikipedia. As soon as it is reported in a reliable publication, we can follow suit. We don't want to be in the position where all reliable published sources say one thing and Wikipedia says another thing.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  13:56, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

2 October 2017 Wayne Dyer page, Reverted 1 edit by Dante Dos 2nd try
Sir, I am at a lost to suppose the reason and remedy for your 'revert'. I believe the source references of Sun Sentinel are reliable. Perhaps the wording is not right? Can an edit correct this? Thank you

In November 1991 Dyer was involved with soliciting a female for prostitution, a misdemeanor as a patron of an escort service busted by Florida state officials. He subsequently pleaded no contest to inducing and enticing a lewd act in May 1992 and paid $5,000. Dante Dos (talk) 23:19, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

 * That's the only explanation you need. If someone tells you something needs consensus, then you start a discussion on the article talk page, not one complaining about its removal, but justifying why it needs to be in the article. If others agree it goes in. If they don't it doesn't. There is absolutely no need to leave a message in either my or anyone else's talk page. Most Wikipedia editors have more interests than just making sure one person looks as bad as possible unlike you, . Please don't leave any further messages here. John from Idegon (talk) 14:19, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

 * The content you were adding, given Dyer's overall nature as demonstrated currently in the article, is an exceptional claim and likely pretty sensitive for his surviving family. For a biography of living persons article (even though Dyer has been deceased for two years), this will require multiple, independent, high-quality sources. Even coverage in these sources doesn't guarantee inclusion, as again, this is quite sensitive material and irregular when compared to his notability as a motivational speaker or author. I don't speak for other editors, but I'm against the addition unless this material, with additional sources notwithstanding, can be demonstrated to have had a significant impact on his career or family. MPFitz1968 (talk) 17:24, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Dude got arrested for a misdomeaner, was not even found guilty. No way this belongs, even with much better sourcing. If the guy was still alive, the original post would have been redacted too. There is no reason to ever include trivial negative info on a talk page. John from Idegon (talk) 21:32, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

I have reviewed the wording of the two sentence entry. Objectively, this is an absolute statement of fact directly taken from sited references, Sun Sentinel being a reliable source. It should not be passed off as being a 'claim', exceptional or otherwise. As to it's being a trivial matter, etc. It is common practice for solicitation and other misdemeanors to accept pleas of 'no contest' and pay a fine to avoid court and court records. This is not a parking ticket. Wikipedia has many entries of notable people with similar offenses and similar outcomes, without regard to it's being sensitive material. As an example, see Sam Shepard, the actor has a whole page of listed accomplishments. And a four sentence entry relating a (trivial?) drunk driving charge.

This entry on Dyer is a Fact, and can be verified as such. Strictly speaking, Facts are neither negative, positive, trivial, important or sensitive or insensitive. But, our opinions of Facts are what makes them so. Obviously, the acceptance of facts is a highly subjective process. Wayne Dyer had become a celebrity/notable person who was touted as a spiritual teacher and guru. And in later life, his very profitable business was writing and speaking his thoughts on divine love, spirituality and planes of existence. Even this Wayne Dyer Wikipedia page is placed in a religion category. For these reasons, it is my opinion that the entry be allowed. In much the same way as if Dyer were a priest or religious leader, politician or celebrity. The contrast of these facts and the previously reported substance of his life has merit. Dante Dos (talk) 13:17, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Factuality does not guarantee inclusion. To me your arguments are not compelling. A misdomeaner, reported only locally, is not significant enough to include. John from Idegon (talk) 15:53, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

title: Talk:Wayne Dyer


text:
Two-stroke power valve system

The two-stroke power valve system is an improvement to a conventional two-stroke engine that gives a high power output over a wider RPM range.

Operation of a two-stroke engine
A stroke is the action of a piston travelling the full length of its cylinder. In a two-stroke engine, one of the two strokes combines the intake stroke and the compression stroke, while the other stroke combines the combustion stroke and the exhaust stroke.

As the piston travels upward in the cylinder, it creates low pressure area in the crankcase; this draws fresh air and atomized fuel from the carburetor through a hole in the cylinder wall or directly into the crankcase. As the piston continues travelling upward, transfer ports and the exhaust ports are closed off, thus trapping the combustible mixture in the combustion chamber. As the piston reaches the top of the cylinder, the mixture in the cylinder is compressed to the point of ignition.

The second stroke begins once ignition has taken place. The power stroke begins after the air-fuel mixture is ignited. The burnt fuel creates pressure in the cylinder above the piston and forces it downward. As the piston passes the midpoint of the downstroke, the exhaust port to the side of the cylinder is uncovered and initiates the flow of burned fuel into the expansion chamber or muffler.

The piston then moves downward, where the air-fuel mixture remains from the previous intake-compression stroke. Shortly after the exhaust port is uncovered by the downward travel of the piston, the transfer ports begin to be uncovered. The transfer ports act as a passage through which the air-fuel mixture moves from the crankcase into the cylinder above the piston. Once the piston reaches the bottom of the stroke, the second stroke is completed and the process is repeated.

Engineering design improvements
The only moving parts inside simple two-stroke engines are the crankshaft, the connecting rod, and the piston. It is the same simplicity in design, however, that causes a two-stroke engine to be less fuel-efficient and produce high specific levels of undesirable exhaust gas emissions. At the bottom of the power stroke, the transfer ports, which deliver fresh fuel-air mixture, are open at the same time as the exhaust port. This can allow a significant amount of fresh fuel to run straight through the engine without being burned in the process of power production. Properly designed exhaust systems help minimize the amount of raw fuel loss in the exhaust process, but a carbureted two-stroke engine will always waste some fuel (modern direct injected engines avoid this).

Many producers of two-stroke performance bikes fit them with the exhaust power valve systems. These valves act to vary the height (and width) of the exhaust port thereby broadening power delivery over a wider rev range. Exhaust ports with fixed dimensions only produce usable power in a narrow rev range, which also affects fuel consumption and emissions.

In a race bike, this is not a problem as the engine will be operating at high RPM almost all the time. However, in a road/commuter bike, the limited power range is a problem. To provide more low RPM power, as well as enable the engine to produce a lot of high RPM power, a power valve system is used.

All power valve systems vary the duration of the exhaust port open time, which gives the engine usable low end power combined with excellent top end power. Manufacturers have also included sub exhaust chambers that extend the 'tuned length' of the expansion chamber.

Power valve actuation can be by mechanical (RPM dependent) or electric (servo motor) means increasingly with electronic control. Electronic control offers a greater degree of accuracy as well as being able to vary the opening of the valve and be tuned to conditions.

Suzuki AETC and Super AETC
AETC and Super AETC Suzuki engines, Automatic Exhaust Timing Control: The two-blade version was fitted to the VJ21 RGV250, and the three-blade version, to the VJ22 RGV250 and Suzuki RG150.

With the AETC system, the power-valve systems are normally partially closed at low RPM; when closed, it enables the engine to make more power. Up to a certain point, however, power drops off as the engine is unable to expel enough gases out of the exhaust. When the power-valve is opened, it allows more gases to flow out of the exhaust port. This system is recognizable by a small box above the exhaust outlet; the power-valves are situated in this box. Depending on the valve, they may be made of two (older version) or three (newer version) separate blades.

YPVS-Yamaha Power Valve System
YPVS Yamaha engines, Yamaha Power Valve System: Yamaha engineers realized that by altering the height of the exhaust port they could effectively change the engine power delivery thereby having optimal power and torque across the entire rev range, so it was that the YPVS was born. The valve is of a cylindrical "cotton reel" design running across the top of the exhaust port, it is turned by a servo motor controlled from a control box taking information from the CDI (and other locations). The valve is a slightly oval shape. This changes the height and size of the exhaust port at different engine speeds, maximizing the available power at all rev ranges, opening up firstly at 3k rpm for low end power, gradually in between 3-6k, fully opening at 6k rpm for maximum power, on most 125cc. It was fitted to all of the later models of the RZ/RD two-stroke road bikes (125, 250, 350 and 500 cc), the TZR range. It was also added to the DT(125lc 2/3) range after 1984 (but was locked closed to comply with UK learner regulations until the (R) in 1988-04 which had a fully functional YPVS valve) the DT125R has a better design of engine, although not much altered in speed, just more reliable than its predecessor. The YZ series of motocross bikes has a mechanical power valve which is activated at RPM speed. The YPVS is only found on the liquid-cooled bikes not air cooled versions. Yamaha have also used a guillotine version in some of their later models such as the 1994 TZR250 3XV SP model, and many later TZ road race bikes. The TZR250R 3XV SPR actually uses a Triple-YPVS, which is a combination of the guillotine and "cotton reel" designs.

Yamaha was actually the first company to produce consistent results with their YPVS in their race bikes. The 1977 OW35K was the first race bike to incorporate the power valve system and it won the Finnish GP in 1977. The Kadenacy effect was harnessed and controlled to a point that gave Yamaha great advantage over all the other manufacturers throughout the late '70s and into the mid '80s. The first street bikes with YPVS were the RZ/RD350 YPVS (LC2-onwards), and RZ/RD500 GP Replica in 1983–84.

Honda ATAC
ATAC System: The Honda Automatic Torque Amplification Chamber system works by effectively increasing or decreasing the volume of the exhaust system with a small butterfly valve located just before the exhaust connection. At low RPM a centrifugal crankshaft driven gear opens the valve into a small chamber and increases the volume of the exhaust by allowing the exhaust gases to flow through the chamber. At high RPM the ATAC valve is closed and the exhaust simply exits into the expansion chamber. A larger expansion chamber allows for more power at lower RPMs because of the extra time needed for the impulse to "bounce" back for the supercharger effect. It was used on their CR motocrossers, GP bikes and MTX, MVX, NS and NSR road bikes.

Honda Power Port valve
HPP valve. A centrifugal governor opens and closes a two-blade exhaust valve (using over 50 parts)

Honda V-TACS
The "V-TACS" - Variable Torque Amplification Chamber System - works differently from the "ATAC system" and it will only work when it is used in conjunction with a tuned muffler. Tuned mufflers/expansion chambers increase power but only at the RPM they are designed for and can actually cause a power loss outside their tuned RPM. "V-TACS system" takes advantage of using an expansion chamber without losing power outside the expansion chamber's tuned RPM. Within the head and cylinder of the engine, there is a chamber that is sealed by a valve. This sealed chamber is vented onto the exhaust port when the valve is open. At low RPM this valve is open, this has the effect of increasing the exhaust manifold volume and negating the power loss that would normally be apparent at low RPM with an expansion chamber. At mid RPM the valve is closed, this enables the expansion chamber to work. It is identified by the head and cylinder, being much larger than normal for its displacement, the cylinder wall is also cast with the wording VTACS on it.

V-TACS was a foot-operated power valve system made by Honda on some of its small two-stroke bikes and scooters, like the Honda FC50.

Honda RC-Valve
The Honda Revolution Control valve is designed and works in principle like the "AETC system." A small computer monitors engine RPM and adjusts a two-blade exhaust valve with an electric servo. Honda equipped many two-stroke motorcycles such as the NSR125 and NSR250 models with RC - Valve power plants.

Kawasaki KIPS
Kawasaki uses a power-valve system called KIPS (Kawasaki Integrated Power Valve System) on their two-stroke bikes. The KIPS utilizes both alterations in port height, closing of the secondary port ducting, and a resonant chamber. KIPS is operated by a mechanical governor on single cylinder machines. The twin cylinder and newer single cylinder model bikes have an electric motor transferring movement via cable and linkages called HI-KIPS.

Talk:Priscilla Barnes

Mallrats
Someone should mention her topless cameo in the movie Mallrats, but I'm far too busy right now. Maybe you can do it instead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.38.59.161 (talk) 01:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

 * You're too busy to do it yourself but you're able to suggest it here on the Talk Page? :-) Nightscream (talk) 01:27, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Unsourced material in need of sourcing
I moved the following unsourced information here from the article pending sourcing for it:

 * birthdate = December 7, 1955.
 * birthplace = Fort Dix, New Jersey.
 * Barnes was asked to be a guest on Somers' short-lived talk show, but she turned down the offer.
 * She has been married to actor Ted Monte since 2003. Nightscream (talk) 01:27, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The 'Internel Movie Database' is a pretty good source. Other 'actor/actress' bios, use that website as a source. GoodDay (talk) 00:43, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I've always thought the IMDB was a reliable source, oh well. Could we have somekinda 'tag' at the article's entry, to show 'why' there's no birthdate/birthplace? That way, editors won't make the mistake I did. GoodDay (talk) 01:02, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Wow, I didn't even remember that I already moved the information here back in August.

 * As for the sources, yeah, I once assumed that imdb was reliable, until I was told otherwise. Although the reliability of imdb is an ongoing source of controversy (one that I wish Jimmy Wales or someone else would settle with some type of written policy, guideline or consensus discussion), if you do a search at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard, you'll find literally dozens of discussions in which the vast majority of participants agree that it's not reliable, especially for biographical information, because the content is user-generated and lacks editorial controls. The same goes for other sites that operate in that manner, such AllMovie, which is referenced in two discussions on the RSN that you can find with a search, one of which is a discussion about AllMovie itself, and one of which is an IMDB discussion in which someone brings up AllMovie. In both cases, AllMovie is said to be unreliable, or the point is made that their editorial policy is unknown.

 * I don't think there's any particular tag that would fit this point, nor do I think it's a good idea, since by the same rationale, you could put tags on articles that lack lots of information. The only thing I can think of is to add a "commented out" disclaimer in the edit field that's rendered invisible in the Saved article. Nightscream (talk) 02:25, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I was also told IMDB is unreliable, especially on age-of-actors issues. There are several sources for her having been born on December 7 in Fort Dix. The sources vary, however, on the year: 1955 or 1952. What the deuce do we do with that? -Rrius (talk) 02:34, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Howabout a 'note' where her birthdate/birthplace would've been? GoodDay (talk) 14:47, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. Nightscream (talk) 17:45, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * If we've got other sources on the date with disputed years. We could have 7 December 1952/55. GoodDay (talk) 20:48, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't think that's very good form for an encyclopedia, particularly for a BLP. Why not have a look at these sources, and see which, if any is reliable, or the more reliable of the two? Nightscream (talk) 21:18, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know what those other sources are (that Rrius mentions). The tag will do. GoodDay (talk) 21:26, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I just googled her name and "December 7", and it came up with different sources saying different years. -Rrius (talk) 00:27, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Deletion
I have deleted that Priscilla Barnes is still insisting the Penthouse photos are not her because she is no longer denying it. Regardless of any public statements, she admitted it in a California district court during the legal action she undertook to prevent Penthouse from using the photos with her real name. The result was Penthouse has full use of the photos but must use them under Priscilla's pseudonym Joanna Witty. Here's the web site for the legal action: http://www.precydent.com/citation/792/F.2d/943 TL36 (talk) 04:23, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

A note about her Penthouse case and her age
I modified the paragraph about her Penthouse case as the way it was written did not agree with the what was in the cited source. I personally remember when the controversy occurred, and it was a bit of a soap opera, but I cannot remember if they ever republished her photos using her original pseudonym or another one.

The issue about her age was rather strange. I assume since whenever this was originally done the original source changed its info, as both AllMovie and IMDb give the same birth year of 1955. I don't know why anybody would believe she was born in 1958 - that just made no sense. It's kind of strange that up above back in 2009 there was a debate on whether she was born in 1952, which makes more sense to me.

I hope nobody reverts it back to old way where it has both years of birth. But then, this is Wikipedia...__209.179.36.56 (talk) 22:55, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Well, guess what - somebody did. would you please explain why you reverted my edit, especially since you didn't bother to explain your actions. Thanks in advance.  __209.179.36.56 (talk) 02:26, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Certainly. AllMovie and IMDb are not reliable sources, nor are NNDb, Fandango, Filmreference.com, etc, regarding biodata such as contested dates, years and places of birth. Yours, Quis separabit?  19:17, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Ohhhh-kaaaay, now can you please explain how your "explanation" above agrees with your revert of my edit? Thanks. __209.179.36.56 (talk) 04:38, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I don't know what you mean. Quis separabit?  19:21, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Well, I hope you will forgive me in advance if I am blunt and break this down to the point that even a child may understand this, as you seem to not have a clue. (And if there is something I am missing here I hope you will clue me in).

 * There are two main problems to your reverting of my correction to the old incorrect info. First, let me point out the apparent contraction in your actions and your justification of it. You say that birth dates from IMDb are not reliable (not entirely true but I won't argue the point) and then you revert my correction to the old version that uses IMDb and AllMovie to verify her DoB. Which means... you reverted to the old version that uses them to verify her DoB... and then you say that shouldn't be done.... Hmmmmm... I'm not sure I understand that - could you explain it? It sounds like you're contradicting yourself.

 * But here's the kicker: by "correcting" my correction and restoring the old incorrect information (why, I don't know) you have actually violated Wikipedia's rules. Since you probably have no idea what I'm talking about I'll explain. The 1958 DoB is referenced to AllMovie, and had you actually read that source, you would have realized that it has the 1955 date, and not 1958. So I ask you: why do you insist on putting factually incorrect info in the article that isn't even verified by the cited source?

 * Another point I'd appreciate you addressing is that if you insist that the the 1958 YoB be included aren't you in potential violation of WP:BLP rules, as it is potentially libelous to assert that? Don't you think this shouldn't be done? Sincerely, __209.179.36.56 (talk) 02:34, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

 * You are wrong on all points and your contemptuous and dismissive tone preclude me from addressing you further, although I will keep the page watchlisted and will make whatever corrections are needed. Quis separabit?  01:24, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Well, I'm sorry that you feel that way and that you refuse to follow Wikipedia's guidelines. I of course cannot force you to do the right thing, but until you provide some kind of actual reason for your actions, I will continue to try to improve the article, despite your obstructive behavior. Yours sincerely, __209.179.36.56 (talk) 17:02, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Your decidedly unhelpful and pointless edits have been reverted. Why Barnes' year of birth is of such import to you I don't know or care, but this is a tempest in a teapot. If it's so important then find out the right year from a reliable source and that will be that. Quis separabit?  19:22, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Well, the fate of life on Earth does not rest on getting the correct info in an article here on Wikipedia. But you know what? There are actually people on Wikipedia who care about it, who think that it should have correct info in its articles, and are willing to try to overcome the self declared I-don't-care obstructionists. Here's hoping  you someday see the light.  Yours sincerely, __209.179.36.56 (talk) 04:11, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

 * I saw the light long before you. Barnes is not the only individual whose year of birth is disputed and whose article lede reflects that in varying ways -- Lillian Russell, Joan Crawford, Michelle Thomas, Eve Arden, Lee Grant, Lynne Moody, etc. Quis separabit?  15:49, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure what light you're looking at and it doesn't matter how many other articles there are with disputed DoB (I wouldn't be surprised if there were hundreds), but it wouldn't make a bit of a difference, as here the only "dispute" is in your head. And I would appreciate it if you wouldn't lie about me when writing your edit summaries. Your last one went like this: "rv unilateral editing, violative of NEGOTIATION; discuss should be added or extended on talk page." Anyone reading this talk page will know it was I who tried to discuss this issue and not you.

 * Quite frankly I'm very tired by your behavior. I don't know whether you are playing some kind of game or if you simply can't understand rather simple things. Neither one of those looks good on you. This is like having an argument with someone who insists that 2 + 2 = 8, and will not relent no matter what.

 * But I'll tell you what: this weekend I'll try to write an analysis of this issue so idiot-proof I'm sure even you will finally get it. I hope that after you read it you'll have the decency to provide an intelligent response, along with an apology.  Yours sincerely, __209.179.36.56 (talk) 04:46, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

On her date of birth
In the previous version that Rms125 seeks to keep, the first line in the lede reads, "Priscilla Barnes (born December 7, 1955 or 1958; sources differ)[1][5] is an American actress,...". There are two issue here, whether she was born in '55 or '58, and the verification of it. Rms125 insists upon leaving both years there (as well as in the Infobox) because he claims the year of birth is disputed. The "dispute" apparently exists, so far as I can see and for which he has heretofore refused to discuss, only in his mind. If one hovers the cursor over the footnote "1" & "5", it will show they point to AllMovie.com and Internet Movie Database, respectively. BOTH sources, I repeat BOTH sources give the YoB as 1955, a fact that Rms125 would have known if, oh i don't know, actually checked them for himself, you know the way responsible and competent Wikieditors do before they make any editing decision. So, as far as I can see, there is no dispute on the year of her birth, unless Rms125 has access to some information that he has for some reason kept to himself.

The second point here is that even if there were a source to show the 1958 YoB we wouldn't be able to use it. I don't know what Rms125's background in research is, but back in covered wagon days I can remember my historiography prof saying that a researcher is like a detective looking for clues. Just because you find something it doesn't mean it's right, and you shouldn't use it if the other information doesn't support it. (He also used a jigsaw puzzle analogy, in that just because you have an empty space you shouldn't force a loose piece into that space just because you want it to go there.) Now if you had actually read and understood the article, you would have realized the following: if in fact she had been born in 1958, this would mean she was underage when she worked at a Hollywood nightclub and when she posed for Penthouse. So Rms125, are you willing to make the potentially libelous claim that she lied about her age and provided false documents, which I'm sure is against the law? As i understand it, libelous claims are against WP:BLP and is therefore not allowed.

I also tried to change the beginning of the Early Life section where it reads, "Barnes was born December 7 (some sources indicate 1955 and others 1958) in Fort Dix, ..." to my edit, "Barnes was born in Fort Dix,...". Since the Dob is already established in the lede and info box I believe it's unnecessary to restate it again in the article. But for for some reason Rms125 insists upon it remaining there - perhaps he will be good enough to provide an explanation on why he thinks it absolutely necessary for it to remain there. Yours sincerely, __209.179.36.56 (talk) 20:28, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

 * IN RE: "The "dispute" apparently exists, so far as I can see and for which he has heretofore refused to discuss, only in his mind. If one hovers the cursor over the footnote "1" & "5", it will show they point to AllMovie.com and Internet Movie Database, respectively. BOTH sources, I repeat BOTH sources give the YoB as 1955, a fact that Rms125 would have known if, oh i don't know, actually checked them for himself," -- as I mentioned (if you scroll above to a prior thread of this unending colloquy), IMDb and AllMovie.com are NOT reliable sources for personal info (see RS) and certainly cannot be deciding factors in resolving contested claims, which is why any article with only IMDb as a source is flagged as needing additional references (see here). Perhaps YOU could do some re-reading, @209.179.36.56, and more importantly, digesting.  Quis separabit?  16:43, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Her high school yearbook is on classmates.com and she's listed as a senior of Antelope Valley High School in 1972. This adds up to around a 1954/1955 birth year.

https://www.classmates.com/siteui/yearbooks/4182716232?page=115

I know it can't be used as a source to confirm her exact age. I just wanted to point this out.Kcj5062 (talk) 07:49, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Davor Džalto

Davor Džalto (Давор Џалто; born 17 May 1980) is an artist, art historian, theologian and philosopher of Bosnian-Herzegovinian origin.

Biography
Džalto was born in Travnik, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He graduated from the School of Art in Niš, Serbia. As an 18-year-old student he published his first book – On Writing as an Artistic, Historical, Social and Cultural Phenomenon.

His academic career started in Belgrade where he received an MA in art history from the University of Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy. He graduated with a thesis in art history, as the best student of the Faculty.

Since 2007, he has been a university professor of history and theory of art and of Orthodox Christian theology and religious studies. He has taught at various universities in Europe and the United States, including University of Prague, Indiana University, Fordham University in New York, and the University of Stockholm.

Work
His academic work focuses on the exploration of human freedom and creativity, as metaphysical, political, and aesthetic concepts.

He has been publishing in the fields of political philosophy, cultural studies, history and theory of art and theology, in English, Serbo-Croatian and German.

He was a founding member and the art director of the Flexible Art Network, which explored relations between artworks, artists and the public; the president of the Institute for the Study of Culture and Christianity; and the vice president of the Christian Cultural Center, coordinating activities with Fr. Radovan Bigovic to promote inter-religious and ecumenical dialogue.

He has been a commentator and contributor to regional and international liberal and left-wing media    on politics and religion as well as civic and academic freedoms and culture.

He works in the media of painting, printmaking, installations and interventions in space and performances. His artworks have been presented at numerous exhibitions.

Impact
In the media and in the academic community he has been described as “the most important Orthodox thinker today”, "one of the most important thinkers today in the Orthodox world," and "one of the most important Orthodox thinkers in the world today."

He contributed to the theory of creativity by exploring human creative capacities (most notably on the example of art) as an expression of the personal identity of the human being, having an existential importance. He was the first one to formulate a theological argument (from an Orthodox Christian perspective) based on his analysis of modern and contemporary art (in particular the work of Marcel Duchamp, Richard Long, Joseph Kosuth and Andy Warhol). That way he contributed to the revision of the postmodernism, actualizing the question of the possibility and meaning of (human) ontological freedom and creation. This approach was especially developed in his book Beyond Capitalist Dystopia, where he claimed that a new freedom-affirming metaphysics is needed, as a basis for a new conceptualization of non-oppressive political ideologies.

He continued to further develop theological concepts of John Zizioulas and philosophical statements given by Nikolai Berdyaev, implementing them in the analysis of contemporary society. He also examines the concept of "simulacrum" in relation to the human person and its ability to create. Based on the Aesthetik der Absenz, formulated in German-speaking art circles, he recognized and explained the phenomenon of "absence of body" in twentieth-century art.

He contributed to Christian and, specifically, Orthodox Christian political theology with his understanding of anarchism as a political philosophy which focuses on the affirmation of human freedom against any institution or exercise of power. This shapes his approach to "Orthodox Christian anarchism," which he proposes as the only political philosophy which is consistent with Orthodox Christian anthropology and ontology. His approach to political theology is best exemplified in his book Anarchy and the Kingdom of God: From Eschatology to Orthodox Political Theology and Back, which has been described as "perhaps the best book on Christian anarchism since Jacques Ellul" and "a rich contribution to the burgeoning literature on political theology, and a particularly welcome perspective in the field of Orthodox political theology."

He was involved in ecumenical and peace-building initiatives during his affiliation with the Pax Christi office in Belgrade and as part of the Christian Cultural Center. He has participated in a number of regional and international conferences and peace building initiatives that contributed to the promotion of peace, reconciliation, and ecumenical dialogue.

In 2007, his name appeared on a list of 100 most influential people of Serbian origin in the world, compiled by the daily Blic.

Criticism
Džalto’s positions on contemporary and recent political questions in the Balkans have been criticized in the media and in popular literature. Jasmin Agic writing for Al-Jazeera, characterized him as providing “ideological guidance” to Noam Chomsky, for Chomsky’s position on a variety of political questions related to the Balkans, criticizing him for minimizing the negative role of the Serbs in the war conflicts of the 1990s.

He has also been under attack by some conservative intellectuals and the media for his work on contributing to gender equality in the Balkans, dismissed as the attempt to "change the consciousness of the entire population of Serbia."

Paul Czinner

Paul Czinner (30 May 1890 – 22 June 1972) was a Hungarian-born British writer, film director, and producer.

Biography
Czinner was born to a Jewish family in Budapest, Austria-Hungary.

After studying literature and philosophy at the University of Vienna, he worked as a journalist. From 1919 onward, he dedicated himself to work for the film industry as writer, director and producer. Czinner became engaged to actress Gilda Langer in early 1920. Shortly after their engagement Langer succumbed to the Spanish flu and died on 31 January 1920.

In 1924, he offered the leading role in his film Nju to Elisabeth Bergner. They became partners. Due to the persecution of Jews by the Nazi Party under Adolf Hitler, the two, both Jewish, fled to Vienna and then London, where they were married. Despite Czinner's homosexuality, the union proved a happy and personally and professionally enriching one for both partners. 1934 saw the realisation of his film Catherine the Great, with his wife playing the main role, though the film was not shown in Germany.

They emigrated to the United States in 1940, working on Broadway. After the end of World War II, they returned to England, where Czinner successfully adapted numerous operas to film (e.g. Don Giovanni, Der Rosenkavalier).

Death
Czinner died on 22 June 1972 in London, aged 82.

Daniël Mijtens

Daniël Mijtens (c. 15901647/48), known in England as Daniel Mytens the Elder, was a Dutch Golden Age portrait painter belonging to a family of Flemish painters who spent the central years of his career working in England.

Biography
He was born in Delft, the son of Maerten Mijtens, an art dealer and saddler from Brussels (c. 1552–1628), and Anneken Tyckmakers (died 1611). He was born into a family of artists and trained in The Hague, possibly in the studio of Van Mierevelt. He was the nephew of the painter Aert Mijtens, the older brother of the painter Isaac Mijtens, and the father of the painter Daniel Mijtens the Younger. No known work survives from his first Dutch period.

By 1618, he had moved to London, where his initial patron was the leading art collector Thomas Howard, 21st Earl of Arundel. Mijtens painted the Earl and his Countess, and was soon commissioned to paint King James I and his son Charles, Prince of Wales. In 1625 he was speculated to have become Charles I's secret lover.

After the prince's accession to the throne as Charles I in 1625 Mijtens produced such a large number of full-length portraits of Charles I and his courtiers, including duplicates, that it is assumed that he had workshop assistance. Two of his finest portraits are of the same man, James Hamilton later 1st Duke of Hamilton, whom he painted as a seventeen-year-old in 1623 and again in 1629. Mijtens made visits to the Netherlands in 1626 and 1630, perhaps to study the latest developments in his field, more particularly the works of Rubens and Van Dyck.

Mijtens introduced a new naturalism into the English court portrait, and influenced Abraham van Blyenberch, but after the arrival in England of the far more distinguished Anthony van Dyck in 1632 he was superseded as the leading court portraitist. Van Dyck demonstrated his superiority over Mytens by painting a portrait of the King and Queen, based on Mytens original, but better executed. Around 1634 Mytens appears to have returned to the Netherlands permanently. He subsequently worked primarily as an art dealer in The Hague, acquiring works for the Earl of Arundel among others. Only four paintings survive from this final period. He died in The Hague.

Copies of older royal portraits
Some of Mijtens' works are still owned by the royal family. Mijtens also made copies of old portraits of royal sitters, including; James IV of Scotland, his wife Margaret Tudor, and Mary, Queen of Scots. He also made a copy of a Venus by Titian for £120 in 1625. The portrait of James IV may follow a lost original described in an inventory of Henry VIII as a "picture of Jacobe kinge of Scottes with an hawke on his fist".
