Talk:Asia League Ice Hockey

Japan Ice Hockey League History
It's thin. The article discusses everything since the league became the Asia League Ice Hockey when it had a previous incarnation as the JIHL. The JIHL's history should be covered.-RomeW
 * is there an article on Japan Ice Hockey League? If so, linking would be appropriate with a short reference to its previous incarnation.--Crossmr (talk) 02:27, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Rewrite
I've been spending the last couple weeks or so putting together sources for a rewrite of this article. once I sort out exactly what is useful and what isn't I'll post the link section to the talk page and start the rewrite. I'll be using one of the FA or GA NHL-related articles as a kind of template for this one to get the content in line with what is expected for a hockey article.--Crossmr (talk) 17:54, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * here is the reference list I removed from the article. Without inline citation its impossible to know what is being used and what is just being put there for promo purposes. As I clean-up and rewrite this I'll put the citations inline.--Crossmr (talk) 15:13, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

 * "Japanese hockey says goodbye to most famous team" nhl.com Aug 7, 2009
 * "Tokyo loses top-level hockey" iihf.com, July 7, 2009

 * "Esa Tikkanen's indecipherable hockey journey continues in South Korea", The Asian Pacific Post, December 9, 2004.

I've finished this rewrite and included just about everything I can find that is relevant on the league in general.--Crossmr (talk) 11:18, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

To Do list
I'm taking guidance from the NHL article. So I think the article will need a section on the game and specific rules AL uses, as well as info on how the imports are used in the system. The problem that comes with this is that there is a serious lack of English sources on these things. There has only been one news item a few years ago on the imports in English. They haven't published an English rule book I can find, and I don't know if the arenas are built to any kinds of standards beyond what is listed as "international".--Crossmr (talk) 14:33, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Cup/Trophy
All of the English language sources only ever refer to the trophy as "The cup". I found one news item which refers to it as "The Championship Trophy" with capital letters. That is the best source I have on a name for it.--Crossmr (talk) 23:37, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Now that Halla has won it, I may be able to get a picture of it for the article.--Crossmr (talk) 15:57, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Dead links
I've written an e-mail to the league to ask them to restore the news archives they've removed. They've done a massive site redesign over the summer, but only kept the points and game sheets parts of the archives. Hopefully they will restore the citations for us.--Crossmr (talk) 05:08, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I've managed to restore several more dead links by going at the archives from a new direction. Archive.org has changed the way you search which has made it possible to find a few of them. However some of the original pages were behind flash intros which didn't get archived (like the all-star info). We've been left with 9 dead links. A couple are due to the way the site was laid out, but most of them seem to just be due to archive.org leaving giant caps in their archiving.--Crossmr (talk) 11:34, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Dobermann (film)

Dobermann is a 1997 French crime action film directed by Jan Kounen starring Tchéky Karyo, Vincent Cassel, and Monica Bellucci.

Plot
The charismatic criminal Dobermann (Vincent Cassel), who got his first gun when he was christened, leads a gang of brutal robbers with his beautiful, deaf girlfriend Nat the Gypsy (Monica Bellucci). After a complex and brutal bank robbery, they are being hunted by the Paris police. The hunt is led by the sadistic cop Christini (Tchéky Karyo), who only has one goal: to catch Dobermann at any cost. He manages to catch gang member Olivier, who is also a transvestite named Sonia. Christini threatens to kill Olivier's baby if he does not help him to catch the gang. Olivier has no choice and visits a party in a disco where the other gang members celebrate their robbery. He informs Christini with an alarm transmitter that all gang members are here so the police start a raid. After a gun fight the police arrest several members of the gang but some manage to escape, including Dobermann, who flees into a hidden basement which also has monitoring screens to show what happens in the disco. As Christini kills Pitbull and abducts Nat with a car to rape her, Dobermann leaves his hiding place and follows him in a stolen ambulance. He overtakes Christini and manages to wrestle him down in the car. Dobermann grinds the head of Christini on the road while still driving the car at high speed as revenge for the killed friends. Christini is left heavily disfigured on the road, presumably dying. The surviving gang members are able to escape and bury Sonia (the personage), suggesting that her treason results in Olivier having to drop his transvestite role. As they leave the scene in their convertible a police helicopter is shown following them, with their car in its sights.

Cast

 * Tchéky Karyo as Christini
 * Vincent Cassel as Yann Lepentrec "Dobermann"
 * Monica Bellucci as Nat the Gypsy
 * Antoine Basler as Jean-Claude Ayache "Moustique"
 * Dominique Bettenfeld as Elie Frossard dit l'Abbé
 * Marc Duret as Inspecteur Baumann
 * Florence Thomassin as Florence
 * Romain Duris as Manu
 * François Levantal as Léo

Sequel
On May 24, 2011, Dobermann 2: Arm Wrestle was announced. Vincent Cassel is in talks to reprise the role of Dobermann, and will have a $35 million budget.

Vali Myers

Vali Myers (2 August 1930 – 12 February 2003) was an Australian artist, dancer, bohemian and muse whose coverage by the media was mostly in 1950s and 1960s in Europe and the United States.

Early life
Myers was born in Canterbury, Sydney, on 2 August 1930, to a violinist mother and marine wireless operator father. She displayed a talent for art at an early age. The family moved to Box Hill, Melbourne in 1941 and Myers left home at 14.

After working in factories to support her dance lessons, she became immersed in dance and later became the leading dancer for the Melbourne Modern Ballet Company. In 1949 at age 19 Myers travelled to impoverished post-war Paris to pursue a dance career but found herself living on the streets of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés Quarter on the Left Bank. Love on the Left Bank is a 1954 book of photographs from Dutch photographer Ed van der Elsken (1925–1990), documenting the bohemian life on the Rive Gauche of Paris; Myers is the heroine of this semi-biographical roman à clef, and is also photographed along with some of her early drawings.

Career
Myers was a flamboyant fantasy artist who worked in pen and ink and watercolour as well as being a nightclub dancer. She divided her life between her adopted home of Melbourne, the Hotel Chelsea in New York City, a 14th-century cottage at Il Porto, near Positano and a residence in Paris.

Her art works developed from early detailed monochromes to a full range of vibrant colours and tones extending to watercolour and gold leaf, displaying a "fastidiously rendered depiction of a personal spirit world". She was acquainted with many celebrities including Tennessee Williams, Salvador Dalí, Django Reinhardt, Jean Cocteau, Patti Smith, Jean Genet and Sam Shepard.

Myers' paintings have sold for up to $US40,000 ($A68,000) in New York. Her work was held in the Stuyvesant collection in the Netherlands, New York's Hurryman Collection, and is owned by private collectors such as George Plimpton and Mick Jagger.

Personal life
While in Europe she married Rudi Rappold, an Austrian from Vienna, and moved to Positano. The marriage ended, and later her lover, Italian artist Gianni Menichetti moved in and helped turn the property into a wildlife sanctuary that was endorsed by the World Wildlife Fund.

Later, after she began having seizures, she returned to Melbourne in 1993, and opened a studio in the Nicholas Building; only returning to Positano occasionally.

Death
Vali Myers died in Melbourne on 12 February 2003 shortly after being diagnosed with cancer at the age of 72.

On 18 January 2003, a month before Myers' death, The Age newspaper printed an article about her life. The article concluded with the following quote from Myers:"I've had 72 absolutely flaming years. It [the illness] doesn't bother me at all, because, you know, love, when you've lived like I have, you've done it all. I put all my effort into living; any dope can drop dead. I'm in the hospital now, and I guess I'll kick the bucket here.  Every beetle does it, every bird, everybody.  You come into the world and then you go."

LUMA
An exhibition of her work was held at LUMA (La Trobe University Museum of Art) in 2013. The show, Between Dusk and Dawn was a personal retrospective that included works from private collections in the US and Europe and ran in September and October.

Talk:M1 motorway (Republic of Ireland)

M1 motorway merged with this article
I suggest the M1 motorway (Republic of Ireland) page be merged with the N1 road. Legislatively, the route is defined as the N1. The M1 classification only applies "on the ground" as it were, on the motorway sections.

Considering that almost the entire N1 route is now the M1 motorway, there is no merit to having two seperate articles for the two designations (for the same route).

zoney ♣ talk 12:21, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Merging complete. The content copied (note, no history merging) originally came from M1 motorway in any case (edit history is in that article, from which this content was split). zoney ♣ talk 19:25, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Page move
This article is about the N1 national primary road. That includes the M1. It does not make sense to move the page to M1. Please read the article for more.

zoney ♣ talk 16:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Adding new Image
I've created a new image showing the primary destinations along the route of the M1 but don't know where to put it.

in the article Limbo-Messiah (talk) 17:55, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Not to be critical of your TSM-compliant designs (goodness knows the LAs could use someone who can!!) but I can't help but think that the flag and RCS signs are going a bit too far. (Especially the motorway ones as two plate signs pointing in different directions like that will never be seen on an actual motorway). Both the infoboxes and articles tell you the start and end points. --Rdd (talk) 23:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

 * My own view would be

Sarah777 (talk) 22:44, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Flags - bin them - (but I don't see any!)
 * The signs-in-two-directions are good, I don't think the fact they won't appear on any road is important; it is a great presentational image.
 * The "Primary destinations" image is lovely but it does replicate the infobox without all the detail and may be overdoing the presentation a bit. We could end up with a photo of a destinations sign; an image and an infobox!

Renaming and reformatting this article to standardise Irish motorway wikis
I've renamed this article to bring it line with similar pages for the M8, M9, M7 and M6. The green N road signs will be removed and replaced with motorway blue signs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Asteroid (talk • contribs) 20:46, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Okay. It's gonna take a while to sort this out and standardize it.

Also. I can't just drop the information about the N1, it needs to be there somewhere...

Trans5999 (talk) 20:53, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hm. A good way of incorporating that would be to make the M1 page the new standard, like we'll do with the M8. We could insert a "history" heading here, and incorporate the N1 information by saying how the M1 is the leader motorway in Ireland, in the sense that what has happened to it is now happening to the M7, M8 etc. I don't think the N1 deserves its own page anymore, just as the N8 won't deserve its own page when the entire motorway is finished. It might suffice to say the M8 transforms into the N8 at Cork city, and that this is all that remains of a once much longer route. Ditto for the N1. Basically, we only have to get this new format right once. The M1 page is the perfect place to fool around with it because it doesn't need to be updated every few months like the others do. Opinions? Seighean (talk) 16:12, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I would agree with Seighean above. In fact, I think that needs to happen to N7 soon.  Currently, there are almost identical junction tables that need to maintained.  But I agree with approach to do M1 first because of its state of development. Thanks  Nelson50 T   17:02, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes. Well to start off you have the introduction. Then you have a detailed description of the route listing the major landmarks and towns along the route, and whether any tolls are to be paid (it should include of course that it leads into the N1/A1 at either end). Then we have the new History section which will deal with its construction. Then of course, you have 'Future' then 'Junctions' then 'References'. The latter three sections can follow the templates used in the M6-M9 pages. Don't forget that unlike the other M-ways, there have been concrete plans made for the M1 service areas. See: www.m1.ie and the NRA's website.

 * Perhaps a basic description of the service areas under 'Future' would be appropiate (which could be transferred to a seperate section called 'Service Areas' once they are complete). (BluntGuy) Trans5999 (talk) 21:26, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Names; M1 motorway (Rep. of Ireland)
This is a good move; just don't be tempted to standardise the article names! Eg. M8 Motorway (Ireland) remains; not M8 Motorway (Rep. of Ireland). RoI should only be used when there is another motorway with the same number on the island. Sarah777 (talk) 21:44, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Actually this one should really be moved to M1 Motorway (Republic of Ireland) , use the full word rather than "Rep." - that is the normal style. Sarah777 (talk) 21:46, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks for fixing that. I tried to rename it M1 motorway (Ireland) as per all the others, but the system wouldn't allow me. I'm not a very proficient wikipedian yet! Be sure to help us out if you get a chance, Sarah.(Furet) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.203.69.58 (talk) 23:09, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

 * There is a disambiguiation page called M1 motorway (Ireland). That's why it won't let you rename. You probably figured that out already anyway. (BluntGuy) Trans5999 (talk) 19:03, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Yep - I got stuck so I improvised...I doubt the current name is 'stable' 'cos there is a cheat in it! Can you spot it?? Sarah777 (talk) 22:40, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Fixed. --John (talk) 05:54, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks! The more I did the bigger the mess became....Sarah777 (talk) 20:49, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Image:DS M1 IE.png
I am not sure what this image currently adds to the article. We already know where the motorways travels between as it is in the article and in an infobox. If it is to illustrate what the signs on the road look like, a photo would be better. Failing that, it is decoration and I think we can do without it. Thoughts? --John (talk) 18:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Done. I removed a few similar images from related articles. I'd be happy to discuss restoring them if there was a consensus that they served an encyclopedic purpose. --John (talk) 02:00, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

 * They look very well but clinically I guess they don't add any information. Couldn't disagree with you here. Sarah777 (talk) 20:53, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I liked them, however.Limbo-Messiah (talk) 02:51, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm looking at Google Earth, specifically at East Wall Road, and it has an N1 tag on the road. Is this right??? --HighKing (talk) 01:15, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Structure of National Primary Route articles
In the context of the Irish road system the term N1 refers to two things:

1. the N1 National Primary Route connecting Dublin to the border with Northern Ireland north of Dundalk;

2. the non-motorway part of that route.

The term M1, meanwhile, refers (outside Northern Ireland) to the motorway part of the N1 National Primary Route.

I don't like the way that in merging the former "N1 road (Ireland)" and "M1 motorway (Republic of Ireland)" articles under the name of the latter these distinctions have become muddied. In particular, it's unfortunate that we have ended up with the principal discussion of the greater entirety (the N1 National Primary Route) being confined to an article manifestly about what is but a constituent part of it: the M1 motorway.

I can see that the probable reasoning behind merging the previous articles dealing with National Primary Route 1 in the way it has been done is that the length of that route now designated as the M1 motorway has become very much greater than that designated as the N1 national road -- but the fact remains that there is still only one national primary route from Bachelors Walk to the A1, and the M1 is but a part of it.

I feel that unless we can find a better way of sytematizing this three-way distinction then there will be a temptation to extend what is, to me at any rate, the present unsatisfactory M1/N1 structure to other National Primary Routes as greater and greater lengths of them are "motorwayized". -- Picapica (talk) 19:09, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * national route
 * national road
 * motorway

 * I think the motorways do not merit having separate articles, as motorway in Ireland is merely a designation attached to sections of national routes. I recommend that rather the articles on the routes be named "N1", etc. and discuss the whole route, motorway or not. Best to break each route into logical sections - which I would suggest are not "non-motorway" and "motorway" but rather sections between towns/intermediate destinations (for older non-bypass routes) and by project for motorway or DC bypasses (e.g. for N7, "N7 Naas Road", "M7 Naas Bypass", "M7 Newbridge bypass", "M7 Kildare Bypass" etc. as section titles). zoney ♣ talk 22:18, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

 * The motorways absolutely do need separate articles. The fact that they are part of national routes is clearly indicated in the first sentence of almost all motorway articles. To relabel all the articles "N7", "N6" etc would be confusing and unhelpful, because physically the majority of the routes are labeled M7, M6 etc. As for discussing individual bypass sections, that is what the "history" section proposed above (and realised in the M8 page) is for. To remake all those articles, some of which are of a very high quality because of what is essentially a mere factoid, makes no sense whatever.Seighean (talk) 01:00, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm not at all against there being separate articles for motorways: on the contrary, since such separateness implies the separate existence of articles on the national routes! What I object to is the "merger-murder" by which the articles on the national routes risk being killed off, with the whole being replaced by a part (as has already happened with the N1/M1). It's as if we were to argue that there is no need for an article on (and entitled) "County Sligo" because a very large share of its population is in fact in Sligo Town, so we can happily merge all information about the county into the "Sligo" article (where the fact that it is but part of a greater whole "is clearly indicated in the first sentence").

Nor, for my part, do I wish to "remake all those articles". Happily, there are still separate articles on, for example, the M6 motorway and the N6. My recommendation, which I would be happy to hear others comment on, is that for now we simply alter the opening sentences to read (with changes italicized): — The M6 motorway (Irish: Mótarbhealach M6) is a motorway in Ireland, forming part of the N6 Dublin to Galway national primary route — The N6 road is a national primary road in Ireland, forming part of the N6 Dublin to Galway national primary route with the words "national primary route" in each case linked to the existing "National primary road" article suitably amended to "National primary route". The structure would thus be (to return to the model I suggested earlier): -- Picapica (talk) 19:20, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * national primary route (a single article for the whole country, explaining the concept and listing the routes)
 * national primary road # (one article for each number)
 * motorway # (one article for each number)

 * Agree totally with you Picapica - I was concerned at the "motorway takeover" but didn't have a solution worked out. Your suggestions are excellent. Sarah777 (talk) 00:29, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't agree at all! I think it's completely nonsensical to talk about e.g. the "N7" to mean parts of the N7 that are not motorway. The N7 is the whole route, not just the parts signed as N7. The existing situation, the suggested approaches and generally what's going on seems to betray a gross ignorance of the actual subject matter. I suppose par for the course for Wikipedia these days.
 * The N6 road is a national primary road in Ireland, forming part of the N6 Dublin to Galway national primary route
 * ^^ This is completely meaningless nonsense. The distinction between "national primary road" and "national primary route" is a made-up Wikipedia distinction.
 * My compromise would be to allow separate articles for the motorways (i.e. those sections of national primary road that are motorway) if people really wish to make a distinction between them and the rest of the route, and then only summarise those articles as part of the content of the national route articles.
 * zoney ♣ talk 10:32, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Come on Zoney! "The N6 road is a national primary road in Ireland, forming part of the N6 Dublin to Galway national primary route" is obviously incorrect but the main thrust of the point that the M-ways should not gobble up the articles on the Primary Routes stands. "The N6 is a national primary route from Dublin to Galway, most of which consists of the M6 motorway (see separate article) etc"  is what we should have. We should not have the N6 route with its history and route merged into the M6. Sarah777 (talk) 23:26, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Great to see you back btw Zoney - I thought we had lost you! Regards Sarah777 (talk) 23:29, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Scríobh Zoney: >> the suggested approaches [...] seem[s] to betray a gross ignorance of the actual subject matter. <<

Hmm, thank you for that opinion, Zoney! For all the little it probably signifies (the site does concentrate on British roads), I still feel I want to say that I have been a Sabrista and writing about Irish roads there for four years longer than you. Of course I admit ignorance (who knows everything there is to know about any subject you could care to name?), but I find the epithet "gross" a bit... well, gross.

I'd hoped you might exhibit more of Sarah777's open attitude and – above all – the concern I share with her (which is what motivated me to raise this whole matter in the first place) about Irish motorway articles "gobbling up", as she rightly puts it, the national road/route [*] articles, as has already happened with the N1/M1. I was intentionally seeking only to propose an interim step (quote: My recommendation, which I would be happy to hear others comment on) which might at least serve to get us talking about the structure of Irish road articles. I'm sorry I didn't make it clear my use of any particular terms was quite open to comment and correction. The curse of Wikipedian "all-or-nothingism" sems to have struck again!

[*] "National road" / "national route": Zoney, I am – despite your conviction of my gross ignorance in these matters – fully aware of the issues of nomenclature here. "National road" is the only term used in legislation, but "national route" is frequently used not only by the National Roads Authority but also by the Department of Transport: "the N8 national primary route", "the M8/N8 national primary route", "the existing N9 route will be reclassified", "the M/N6 Dublin - Galway route", etc. etc. Sarah is quite right to point out that "The N6 road is a national primary road in Ireland, forming part of the N6 Dublin to Galway national primary route" is obviously incorrect – insomuch as there is, legally speaking, no "N6 road" which is less than the whole of the N6. Even you, Zoney, contrast "national road" to "motorway" in the account of speed limits you give on your own site, and people do observably contrast the N# "road" with the M# "motorway" as part of one "route", even if lawyers would object. Wikipedia, as I understand it, is supposed to reflect (or at least take account of) "real usage", so once again - while I am perfectly prepared to acknowledge that my proposed road/route distinction was shakey (though, please sir, I did invite improvements) - I think your "completely meaningless nonsense" is a bit over the top. (And are there such things, in any case, as "partially and/or meaningful nonsense"?)

C'mon, Zoney. Can't we work together? One of the main things I notice about this discussion so far is that those responsible for the "N1 merger murder" haven't yet replied. Mea culpa: I haven't contacted them directly to alert them of this discussion. Should I have done? -- Picapica (talk) 15:16, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

P.S. In case, by the way, I haven't made my position on this clear, Z., I fully supported your original merger of the N1 and M1 articles into a single N1 article. What I am presently objecting to, and shouldn't like to see replicated, is that later cart-before-horse renaming (move) of the N1 article to M1, which appears to be down, originally, to User:Seighean (as he is now). J'accuse!

I have, on the other hand, no problem with separate sub-articles on the M#, M##, M###, etc. if people wish to write them (I am an "inclusionist"). Just let's end the present farce (IMHO) where clicking on a link to the N1 takes readers to an article entitled "M1". -- Picapica (talk) 15:35, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Mea Culpa. No objections were made at the time though, if I remember correctly. Unlike your good self PicaPica, I have no interest in working with Zoney after his arrogant comments. Most of the important Irish national road articles were in a dire state of neglect before I and a few others started working on them. Seighean (talk) 17:33, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Many thanks for that, Seighean -- and sorry if I came across as a bit abrupt myself. (I was clearly "off watch" myself at the time that the N1/M1 merger was made!) I have to dash just now -- but I do hope we can all look forward to working together constructively on this question. My basic aim is to achieve: "N#" as the "general coverage" article for each national road/route, with "M#" as the "particular" article dealing with the motorway stretch(es), where they apply, of each national road/route. It could well be that an M# article turns out to be longer in practice than the corresponding N# article -- I've no problem at all with with that -- just want to make sure that the N# articles themselves don't disappear! Will return to this discussion as soon as I can. -- Picapica (talk) 18:45, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * And thank you. All good points. Your suggestions seem positive and sensible to me. I will support such a move and assist when I can. Seighean (talk) 19:53, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Seighean. I'm working on it and I hope to be able, before too much longer, to present an illustration of what bringing the material here into line with that in the other Irish national road / motorway articles might look like -- but that does mean studying those articles carefully and just at present I'm finding myself a little short of the time needed for grands projets! -- Picapica (talk) 07:04, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keeping the original "N" route/road articles allows for the excellent work on the history of these roads being done, mainly by Seighean. The M-ways all take a different route and have not developed as "organically" as the older routes. Sarah777 (talk) 12:17, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

I agree with you entirely, Sarah. In other words, what I'm aiming for is the "reconstitution" of an N1 article (even though most of the Dublin to Dundalk (for Belfast) route is, of course, now designated a motorway) to match those covering the other national roads. -- Picapica (talk) 15:06, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Was the reason that a toy was never produced originally due to the fact that her transformation was essentially impossible (I'm not an expert, but it seems, from the look of her, that her robot form is totally the wrong shape to become the car) to implement?

Bottom line from the 1980's: Girls don't play with "Action" figures and boys don't play with dolls.

So does she survive in the film or not?
In the film at least two of the motorcycles get blasted, but its not confirmed if they get killed/destroyed, a motocycles is seen at theend, but not confirmed if its Arcee, and its not really discussed in the movie as to whether they are one being or three seperate ones, I think they are merely referred to as the Arcee twins, but Bay claims her kills her off in the film, so its not really clear as to whether any of the Arcees survives.

 * We are having a very similar conversation on the Revenge of the Fallen main Wikipedia page. I don't know if you're in on that conversation, but you may want to jump in on over there.  I think the general consensus is that only two of the three motorcycles were damaged/killed, but because in the movie Arcee is made up of all three motorcycles (unlike the toyline), the one motorcycle that is not seen being damaged or killed guarantees that Arcee survives the movie.  She just lost two out of the three bodies that she was using.  Bay claimed to have killed her, and there was previous question as to whether he was serious or if it was part of his misinformation campaign.  The way I'd argue it, Bay told a partial lie, as Arcee provided several bodies which Bay could use for Autobot casualties, but he doesn't destroy all of them, so Arcee still lives.

 * Okay, I am curious. Can information read from toyline products supersede what actually happens in the movie?  I mean, if that's the case, by all means the toyline identifies the three motorcycles individually and should thus be called so.  But there is no mention of the three motorcycles being sisters in the movie.  The movie never mentions a Chromia or a Moonracer (Elita-One for those who still disagree).  All three motorcycles are called Arcee in the movie, so why in the movie plot section are you referencing sisters and Chromia and Moonracer when they are never identified as such in the movie?  PegasusHoplite28 (talk) 22:21, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

This is User:Klauth, having problems with my log-in

I am not by any means an expert in Wikipedia's formatting standards, however it would seem to me that the movie would be the definitive work for a few reasons:
 * 1) The toys are based upon the characters that exist in the movie, making it a sort of "Original Source"
 * 2) The movie is bound by dynamics requiring it to establish a somewhat solid continuity, the toys are not.
 * 3) One must observe a burden of importance here, if the two sisters were important, they would have been mentioned in the film (see number one, original source)
 * 4) Transformer toys have a history of contradictory appearence, story-telling information, et cetera on their tags whereas within a single universe what has appeared on a screen has stayed consistent and is what a reader is most likely to identify with.
 * 5) Toy tags often include qualities exaggerated beyond what is demonstrated, whereas the user of the toy's imagination can fill in the rest. The movie meanwhile sets a standard for itself that it must ashere to.

Thus in my humble opinion the movie would have to trump what is mentioned on the toys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.28.229.162 (talk) 04:08, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

This page is for Arcee as a character on a whole, not just in one film. All versions of her character should be mentioned. In the section for the film, we mention how the film portrayed her. In the section on the toy, we mention how it portrayed her. On the section for the comic, we mention how it portrayed her. Simple as that. No one source trumps the other if they are all official material. Mathewignash (talk) 12:02, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Relevance?
"Even though Arcee wasn't in the movie, a motorcycle was used by Captain William Lennox to attack Blackout (although the bike was an Aprilia RSV 1000 R rather than a Buell). " So a guy rides a motorcycle in the first movie. What does that have to do with Arcee? 129.139.1.68 (talk) 19:27, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Arcee was slated to appear in the film as an Aprillia RSV 1000 R motorcycle but cut her due to not being able to explain her gender and replaced her with Ironhide I think in the 2nd film her gender was ignored and they just placed her in the script The Movie Master 1 (talk) 02:58, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Merge?
Since most headmasters like Fortress Maximus or Scorponok have one article about the head and the transformer transector, shouldn't Daniel Witwicky (who becomes Arcee's head) be merged with Arcee and Arcee's infobox will be changed to Arcee with Daniel Witwicky?71.255.165.212 (talk) 00:28, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * No, Both Spike and Daniel have articles devoted to them because they were established and notable characters. Most The guys who just got mentions on other articles (Duros, Arcana, etc) are less notable, and are generally not known as anothing other than as the heads for their bodies. On wikialpha.org the little partners do have their own articles, since wikialpha doesn't have wikipedia's notability requirements. Mathewignash (talk) 02:33, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm having some problem with the title. Why not History of Jews in Poland or something like that? "The Jews" seems a bit un-PC. For example, I don't think anyone would like to see an article titled History of the Blacks in America and so on. --malathion talk 02:23, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Although I disagree on the idea of 'the Jews' being un-PC, maybe 'History of the Jewish people in Poland' covers the subject best. The (lengthy) article looks excellent, the pic 'Banners from March 1968.' seems to be not working (or loading). I suggest you put it up for a FAC. -- Cugel 07:55, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

 * I am afraid the PC and the nuances of Jews vs. the Jews are a bit beyond me. All the proposed names sound same to me - feel free to move the article if you think one is better (preferably mention the move on the article's talk page few days before to get more input though). The pic is working ok for me atm. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 11:31, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The side-by-side placement of the and  boxes, in combination with the TOC, create a wall between the lead and the rest of the article. It may be necessary to put one on top of the other. I also don't like the way "the Jews" sounds in the title, but I'm not sure which alternative is best. NatusRoma 01:00, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm afraid that I don't. Especially when it's toward the bottom of the screen, it cuts off the body of the article from the lead. NatusRoma 21:18, August 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, that's the intention to divide the lead from main body. Well, let's see which version others prefere. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 08:44, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * As the creator of many of the "History of the Jews" articles, I unsurprisingly think there is no reason to view either "Jews" or "the Jews" as being preferrable (PBS, for example, uses "the Jews" in their "Civilization and the Jews", Thomas Cahill uses the same in his recent bestseller, The Gifts of the Jews, etc.). I would suggest we keep the title as is in any case, since all of the other country histories of the Jews keep the same format -- History of the Jews in Ireland, History of the Jews in the United States, History of the Jews in Germany, etc. --Goodoldpolonius2 19:57, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * a) getting to be too long (just acceptable now, but probably not with additions) b) lacks specifics on the legal situation of Jews in Poland prior to WWII. c) I don't think Main article: History of Poland (1918-1939) is really right for Interwar period 1918-1939, a separate article The Jews in Interwar Poland should be started, even if it is just a cut and paste of the current inter-war section c) references seem quite limited, d) the map is for non-commercial use, which isn't acceptable for wikipedia e) "About 3 million Jews" should probably be "About 3 million Polish Jews" for clarity since many non Polish Jews were brought to Poland to be killed.  This number should have a clear source and methodology given to avoid future "revisionism".  f) "A relatively large percentage of Polish Jews participated in" is imprecise and should definitely be clearly referenced.  -- overall I think the quality of the article is good and this can easily become a featured article.
 * On (b)&(c) what do you find missing from this section? On (d), as far as I know, the debate is still inconclusive as to whether explicit fair use graphics are to be allowed, at least from the meta talk on the subject, and this is a really useful map. (e) and (f) were fixed, thanks for the catch.  --Goodoldpolonius2 01:24, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Founding date
This article contradicts itself mentioning the "founding date" of the AIHL. In the infobox in the upper corner it says 2002. In the playoffs section, it says 2000. To further complicate things, the official league website, says 2001 ! Does anyone know what is going on? Flibirigit (talk) 16:16, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

The league's first season was in 2000. Adelaide won the VIP cup in 2000 and 2001. The first year it included the Goodall Cup was in 2002. I'll look at the AIHL site, see where the mistake is. --Rockfox (talk) 01:02, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Vz. 50

The '''Vz. 50''' (also known as the CZ 50) is a Czechoslovakian made double-action, semi-automatic pistol. Vz is an abbreviation of the Czech (as well as Slovak) term "vzor" meaning model.

Design
After the Second World War, Czechoslovakia's Ministry of the Interior requested a new pistol design from Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod. The resulting gun was chambered in .32 ACP and designed by two brothers Jan and Jaroslav Kratochvíl. It combined elements from both the Walther PP and PPK. The pistol is fed from an 8-round single-stack magazine, located within the bakelite paneled grip. Small fixed sights are located on top of the slide. The pistol functions via the blowback principle - gas pressure from burning powder simultaneously forces the cartridge case and slide backward and forces the bullet forward in the barrel. After it reaches the end of its rearward travel, the recoil spring returns the slide to its forward position, stripping and chambering a new round from the magazine as it does so, rendering the gun ready to fire again. Hammer and trigger operation is single and double action.

Manufacture
Vz. 50s were sold commercially but most were distributed to police agencies under control of the Ministry of the Interior. They were produced initially at Strakonice and later at Uherský Brod. Manufacture ended in 1970 with the refinement of the pistol in a new model known as the Vz. 70.

Serial numbers
Serial numbers start at 650001, continuing from the discontinued vz. 27 serial number range. Pistols manufactured at the Strakonice factory end in the 740000 range. Pistols manufactured at Uhersky Brod have 5 digit serial numbers preceded by a letter (which may change in the middle of a number series).

Date stamp
On the Vz.70, the last two digits of the year of manufacture are stamped on the left rear of the slide next to the proof stamp (a lion superimposed on an "N").

Government property stamp
Vz 50s bearing a stamp of crossed swords indicates they were government property.

Variants

In 1970, an update of the Vz. 50 was released with minor cosmetic changes and internal improvements called the Vz. 70 (also known as CZ 70). These changes included:
 * New grip shape with a larger recess (Called the "tang") for the web between thumb and finger.
 * Milling on the trigger guard was changed to a more blended merge with the frame, removing sharp angles.
 * New grip pattern using a grid of dimples instead of grooves.
 * Top of the slide is engraved with a fine wave pattern to reduce glare.
 * Serial number is stamped on the slide under the ejection port instead of below and behind it.
 * Slide serrations are wider and there are more of them.
 * Take down lever has a cross hatched instead of grooved surface.
 * Larger hammer with a hole in it.
 * Smaller magazine release.
 * Magazines have new base with a more angular and less curved shape
 * Grip extension via a modified floor-plate on the magazine (for the pinky finger).

Primero de Marzo

Primero de Marzo (or 1° de Marzo) is a small town and district in the marshy lowlands of the Cordillera Department in Paraguay. The area is located near the shallow meandering river Yhaguy which locals utilize primarily for fishing and recreation. Primero de Marzo's name is derived from the date March 1, 1870, when then Paraguayan President Francisco Solano López was killed by Brazilian troops at Cerro Corá, thereby ending the bloody War of the Triple Alliance.

Demographics
According to the 2002 National Paraguayan census, Primero de Marzo has a population of 6,019 inhabitants: 3,210 male and 2,809 female. 795 inhabitants live in the urban center of Primero de Marzo while another 5,224 maintain dwellings in the various surrounding rural campos. Some of the larger outlying rural campos include General Diaz, Sargento Cabellero, San Isidro, and Mariscal Estigarribia. Running water and electricity is available to the urban inhabitants, but only some of the rural campos. There are a very few landlines for telephone service in the area. The most reliable being at the Municipality and the Cooperative, Niño Jesus Ltd. Currently, there is limited internet or cellular phone service in the area due to the geography and poor public infrastructure.

History and Culture
Primero de Marzo was founded in 1931 as "Colonia Primero de Marzo" under the aegis of the district of Caraguatay. On June 23, 1955, the town was declared its own departmental district by presidential decree from dictator Alfredo Stroessner. Primero de Marzo is sometimes called by its lesser known name of Colonia Alphonso Tranquera. The town celebrates its Fiesta Patronal on December 25 in honor of its patron saint Niño Jesus. Other large fiestas celebrated in the area include Cerra Corá (March 1), Pascua (Easter), la fiesta de San Juan (June), and la fiesta de San Blas (February 3).

Economy
A rural agricultural area, Primero de Marzo is centered in a region well known for its high-quality production of petitgrain (orange essence) from the bitter orange tree (citrus aurantium). This petitgrain is generally exported to Europe for use in perfumes and skin care products. The vast majority of the harvest, production, and sale of this crop of petitgrain is organized by members of the small credit and marketing cooperative Niño Jesus Ltd. Other important crops in the area include mandioca (yuca), ka'a he'ê (stevia), watermelon, tomato, pineapple, cotton, and soybeans. Fishfarming production of Tilapia is becoming increasingly important in the rural campos.

Transportation
The bus company, Empresa 1º de Marzo operates out of the town center and maintains hourly service (3½ hours) to Asuncion passing through the Cordillera towns of Isla Pucú, Eusebio Ayala District, and finally Caacupe via Ruta 2 - Monday through Saturday. While the majority of Primero de Marzo's roads remain unpaved, flooding during the Paraguayan wet season does not adversely affect bus service to and from the Asuncion bus terminal as the main exit road is paved in crude cobble stone until its convergence with a paved highway at Isla Pucú. Daily morning service to Arroyos y Esteros and Ruta 3 usually can be made by contracting private transportation in town; however, this route is subject to frequent rain washout.

Messapians

The Messapians were an Iapygian tribe who inhabited Salento in classical antiquity. Two other Iapygian tribes, the Peucetians and the Daunians, inhabited central and northern Apulia respectively. All three tribes spoke the Messapian language, but had developed separate archaeological cultures by the seventh century BC. The Messapians lived in the eponymous region Messapia, which extended from Leuca in the southeast to Kailia and Egnatia in the northwest, covering most of the Salento peninsula. This region includes the Province of Lecce and parts of the provinces of Brindisi and Taranto today.

Starting in the third century BC, Greek and Roman writers distinguished the indigenous population of the Salento peninsula differently. According to Strabo, the names Iapygians, Daunians, Peucetians and Messapians were exclusively Greek and not used by the natives, who divided the Salento in two parts. The southern and Ionian part of the peninsula was the territory of the Salentinoi, ranging from Otranto to Leuca and from Leuca to Manduria. The northern part on the Adriatic belonged to the Kalabroi and extended from Otranto to Egnatia with its hinterland.

After the conquest of the Salento by the Roman Republic in 266 BC the distinction between the Iapygian tribes blurred as they were assimilated into ancient Roman society. Strabo makes it clear that in his time, the end of the first century BC, most people used the names Messapia, Iapygia, Calabria and Salentina interchangeably for the Salento. The name Calabria for the entire peninsula was made official when the Roman emperor Augustus divided Italy in regions and gave the whole region of Apulia the name Regio II Apulia et Calabria. Archaeology still follows the original Greek tripartite division of tribes based on the archaeological evidence.

Name
The names Messapii (Μεσσάπιοι) and Messapia are usually interpreted as "(the place) Amid waters", Mess- from Proto-Indo-European *medhyo-, "middle" (cf. Albanian mes-, "middle") (cf. Ancient Greek μέσος méssos "middle"), and -apia from Proto-Indo-European *ap-, "water" (cf. another toponym, Salapia, "salt water"). As Strabo writes, this is the name (exonym) which the Tarentine Greeks used to refer collectively to the Iapygian communities which referred to themselves as Calabri (Καλαβροί) and Salentini (Σαλεντίνοι) (endonyms) and to their land as Iapygia. The exonym Messapia in Italy corresponds to other toponyms in areas of ancient Greece (e.g. Messapio).

The Messapic tribal name Kalabroi/Calabri has been connected to the Dardanian Galabroi/Galabri in the Balkans.

Origins
The origin of the Messapians is uncertain; it is probably due to uncertain and never clearly demonstrated migratory flows of Illyrian or Aegean-Anatolian origin that arrived in Salento on the threshold of the Iron Age around the 9th century BC. . The Illyrian hypothesis, today the most accepted by scholars, is supported above all by linguistic considerations. .

It is also possible that the Messapians were the result of the fusion between Cretans and, subsequently, Illyrians. According to this hypothesis, the Cretans arrived in Italy in 3300 BC. and the Illyrians would conquer them centuries later.

The Cretan origin was essentially based on tradition and derived from a famous passage by Herodotus on the origins of the Iapygians:

"«It is said, in fact, that Minos, who arrived in Sicania (which is now called Sicily) in search of Daedalus, died there by a violent death. After some time had passed, at the incitement of a god, all the Cretans, en masse, except those of Polychne and Praesus, who came with a large fleet to Sicania, besieged the city of Camicus for five years, which, at in my time, it was inhabited by Agrigentines. In the end, however, not being able to conquer it, nor to stay longer to fight against hunger, they would leave, abandoning the camp. When, during the navigation, they found themselves near the coast of Iapygia, a violent storm would have surprised them and slammed them against the land: so, the ships having broken, and no longer seeing any way to return to Crete, the city of Iria was founded in that place., they remained there and became Iapygians-Messapians (changing their name) rather than Cretans and continentals rather than islanders. From Iria, they say, they founded the other colonies, which the Tarentines long after attempted to destroy, but suffered such a terrible defeat that there then occurred the most serious massacre of Greeks of all those we know of; not only of Tarentines, but also of citizens of Reggio: of the latter, who had come to give aid to the Tarentines forced by Micito son of Chero, 3000 died; the losses of the Tarentines could not even be counted. Micitus, who was from the house of Anassilaus, had been left by him as regent of Rhegium and is the same one who, driven out from Rhegium and settled in Tegea in Arcadia, consecrated the numerous statues in Olympia, which everyone knows.»"

In addition to the Herodothean story, there is the story of the Cretan king Idomeneus, another piece of what we could define as the "Minoan cycle", that is, that literary tradition which sees the ethnogenesis of the Messapian people in the mixing between the Cretan settlers and the local indigenous people Salento. The sallentine humanist Antonio de Ferrariis, referring to the ancient Messapic language, defines it as "the language used by the Sallentines before the coming of Idomeneus", thus using the figure of the latter as a symbol of Greek Salento of which he himself boasted belonging. . This additional version to the Herodotean one regarding the Cretan origin of the Messapians is provided by Marcus Terentius Varro from Rieti (116 BC – 27 BC). In fact, the Latin author tells of how the monarch Idomeneus, expelled from Crete following a civil uprising, had sought refuge together with his army in the Illyrian kingdom of King Divitius. From here, joining a further army generously offered by the Illyrian monarch, to which was added a large group of Locrian refugees, he set sail for Salento and settled there, displacing his army in twelve cities and thus giving life to the Messapic dodecapolis. The Cretan, Illyrian and Locrian refugees led by King Idomeneus, who became permanent inhabitants of the Salento districts, would finally collectively recognize themselves with the ethnonym of "Sallentines", since they had made friends "in salo", at sea".

The oldest findings were made in archaeological excavations in some caves near Otranto and Roca; the first stable settlements were identified in the cities of Oria, Cavallino, Vaste and Muro Leccese and can be dated back to the 8th century BC)..

Around the 7th-6th century BC. we move from constructions in huts with a plinth in irregular stones, elevation in raw bricks (clay and straw) and roofing with intertwined branches (one was rebuilt in Vaste for educational purposes) to constructions with multiple rooms, quadrangular in shape, with low walls dry stone and brick and tile roofing. .

The pre-Italic settlement of Gnatia was founded in the fifteenth century BC during the Bronze Age. It was captured and settled by the Iapyges, as they occupied large tracts of territory in Apulia. The Messapii developed a distinct identity from the Iapyges. Rudiae was first settled from the late ninth or early eighth centuries BC. In the late sixth century BC, it developed into a much more important settlement. It flourished under the Messapii, but after their defeat by Rome it dwindled and became a small village. The nearby Lupiae (Lecce) flourished at its expense. The Messapi did not have a centralised form of government. Their towns were independent city-states. They had trade relationships with the Greek cities of Magna Graecia.

Conflict with Taras
In 473 BC, the Greek city of Tarentum (which was on the border with Messapia) and its ally, Rhegion, tried to seize some of the towns of the Messapii and Peucetii. However, the Iapyge tribes defeated them thanks to the superiority of their cavalry. The war against Tarentum continued until 467 BC.

During the Second Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta, the Mesapii were allies of Athens. They provided archers for Athens' massive expeditionary force sent to attack Syracuse in Sicily (415–13 BC). The expedition was a disaster and the entire force was destroyed.

In 356 BC, an alliance between Messapii and Lucani led to the conquest of Heraclea and Matapontus. In 342 BC, Tarentum called for the aid of Archidamus III of Sparta. Archidamus died in battle under the walls of the Messapian city of Manduria in 338 BC.

In 333 BC, Tarentum called Alexander I of Epirus to help them in their war with their Lucani. Alexander defeated the Messapii. He died in a battle against the Lucani in 330 BC.

After the campaign of Alexander I, the Messapii switched allegiance. They allied with Tarentum and Cleonymus of Sparta, who campaigned in the region in 303–02 BC to help Tarentum against, again, the Lucani.

Conquest by the Roman Republic
During the Second Samnite War (327–304 BC) between Rome and the Samnites, the Messapii, Iapyges and Peucetii sided with the Samnites. Some of the cities of the Dauni sided with Rome and some of them sided with the Samnites. The city of Canusium went over to the Romans in 318 BC. Silvium, a Peucetii frontier town, was under Samnite control, but it was captured by Rome in 306 BC.

During the Pyrrhic Wars (280–275 BC), the Messapii sided with Tarentum and Pyrrhus the king of Epirus, in Greece, who landed at Tarentum, ostensibly to help this city in her conflict with the Romans. According to ancient historians, his aim was to conquer Italy. Pyrrhus fought battles against the Romans and a campaign in Sicily. He had to give up the latter and was defeated by the Romans and left Italy. The Messapii were mentioned by Dionysius of Halicarnassus as fighting for Pyrrhus in the Battle of Asculum.

In 272 BC, the Romans captured Tarentum. In 267 BC, Rome conquered the Messapii and Brundisium. This city became Rome's port for sailing to the eastern Mediterranean. Subsequently, the Messapii were rarely mentioned in the historical record. They became Romanised.

During Hannibal's invasion of Italy in the Second Punic War (218–201 BC), the Messapii remained loyal to the Romans. The Battle of Cannae, where Hannibal routed the forces of the Romans and their Italic allies, was fought in the heart of the neighbouring Peucetii territory. The Roman survivors were welcomed into nearby Canusium. Part of the final stages of the war were fought out at Monte Gargano, in the northernmost part of Apulia, in the territory of the Dauni.

Language and writing
The Messapian language is generally considered similar to the Illyrian languages, although this has been debated as a mostly speculative grouping, as Illyrian languages are themselves poorly attested. Albanian dialects are still a relatable group with Messapian, due to toponyms in Apulia, some of towns that have no etymological forms outside Albanian linguistic sources. However, Messapic is to be considered as an independent Indo-European language.

The language became extinct following the Roman conquest of the region, which began during the late 4th century BC. It has been preserved in about 300 inscriptions written in the Greek alphabet and dating from the 6th to the 1st century BC.

Geography
Messapia was relatively urbanized and more densely populated compared to the rest of Iapygia. It possessed 26–28 walled settlements, while the remainder of Iapygia had 30–35 more dispersed walled settlements. The Messapian population has been estimated at 120,000 to 145,000 people before the Roman conquest. The main Messapic cities included:
 * Alytia (Alezio)
 * Brundisium/Brentesion (Brindisi)
 * Cavallino
 * Hodrum/Idruntum (Otranto)
 * Hyria/Orria (Oria)
 * Kaìlia (Ceglie Messapica)
 * Manduria
 * Mesania (Mesagne)
 * Neriton (Nardò)
 * Rudiae (outside Lecce)
 * Mios/Myron (Muro Leccese)
 * Thuria Sallentina (Roca Vecchia)
 * Uzentum (Ugento)

Other Messapic settlements have been discovered near Francavilla Fontana, San Vito dei Normanni and in Vaste (Poggiardo).

Spalahores

Spalahores, also spelled Spalohres or Spalahora, (Greek: Σπαλαχόρης Spalakhórēs; Σπαλύρις Spalýris, ϹΠΑΛΥΡΙΟϹ Spalyrios (epigraphic); Kharosthi: 𐨭𐨿𐨤𐨫𐨱𐨆𐨪 Śpa-la-ho-ra, Śpalahora; ruled circa 57-35 BCE), was an Iranian king who ruled Sakastan in the 1st-century BC.

Name
Spalahores's name is attested on his coins in the Greek forms Spalakhórēs (Σπαλαχόρης) and Spalýris (Σπαλύρις), and in the Kharosthi form Śpalahora (𐨭𐨿𐨤𐨫𐨱𐨆𐨪), which are derived from the Saka name *Spalahaura, meaning "commander of the army".

Career
Before his rise to kingship, he served as a commander of his predecessor, Vonones, who had minted coins with his name and that of another commander, Spalirisos, who are both referred to as "brother of the king". Scholars such as R.C. Senior and Khodadad Rezakhani consider Spalahores and Spalirisos to indeed be Vonones' brothers, while others such as K.W. Dobbins argue that it was an honorific title given to them, whom he considered to be Saka satraps.

A major argument against the proposal of a blood relationship between Vonones and the two commanders was due to both of them having Saka names, contrary to Vonones' Parthian name. Saghi Gazerani has suggested that after the Arsacid re-conquest of Sakastan (sometime between 124–115 BC), which was given as a fiefdom to the Surenid general that led the expedition, the Surenids (who became independent after 88 BC) and Sakas became closely connected, presumably through alliances and intermarriages. Indeed, Parthians and Sakas are often mixed up in Indian literature. The mythological Iranian hero Rostam (who was from Sakastan), is mentioned in Iranian traditions as both Parthian and Saka, thus supporting this dual-identity.

Spalahores' son and successor, Spalagadames, has been suggested by Rezakhani to be the same figure as the first Indo-Parthian king Gondophares ((r. 19 – 46)).

Antequera District

Antequera is an industrial district of the San Pedro, Paraguay. It is known for having several silos and ports from where the grain stored in them is exported.

Etymology
The district was named after José de Antequera y Castro, a Spanish criollo who mediated the conflicts between criollos and governor Diego de los Reyes Balmaceda. The place where he first arrived on his vessel was which would later become the Antequera district. A monument was lifted by the riverside in his honor.

History
It was founded in 1892 by brothers Juan Alberto López and José Visitación López as a small settlement. In 1955, the place was promoted to district status.

Geography
The twin lakes Verá and Brillante (both meaning "bright" in Guarani and Spanish, respectively) are big touristic attractions close to each other. They are thought to have been originated from a meteor shower thousands of years ago.

Culture
The district's patronal festival is the Feast of the Cross on May 3 in honor of a cross erected to remember a woman named Francisca who, during the Paraguayan War, was about to give birth on a boat, but the marines abandoned her, throwing her to the river where she and her unborn child died. The cross became known as Kurusu Chika, meaning "the cross of Chika" (Guaraní version of the name Francisca).

After some time, locals attributed miracles to Francisca and adopted the Cross as protection for the district.

On the feast, several cultural activities are organized and attended by thousands of people. Examples include student parades, music festivals, nautical processions, ballet performances, stand-up comedy as religious celebrations and dramatic recreations of the day Francisca died.

During the rest of the year, the main touristic activity is fishing due to its location next to the river and the fish quality.

Alkinoos Ioannidis

Alkinoos Ioannidis (Αλκίνοος Ιωαννίδης; born 19 September 1969) is a Greek Cypriot composer, lyricist, singer, and orchestrator.

Biography
He was born in Nicosia on 19 September 1969 to a Greek Cypriot father and a Greek mother. His artistic family, with a painter father and poet brother was a source of inspiration for him. He first wanted to study drums, but couldn't due to the lack of a drum teacher in Nicosia. Instead, he studied guitar.

For the first 20 years of his life, he lived in a Nicosia suburb. After his military service, he went off to Greece to study theatre. He also entered the School of Philosophy, University of Athens, which he later gave up. He was more successful in his theatre studies where he played some major roles in well known Greek tragedies such as Alcestis.

At the age of 23 he recorded his first album called Stin Agora Tou Kosmou (Greek: Στην Αγορά Του Κόσμου, In The World's Market) with lyrics and music written by Nikos Zoudiaris. This demo tape eventually reached the hands of a well known singer, Dimitra Galani. She instantly became fond of their music and Alkinoos' voice and helped them get a record deal.

Alkinoos and Zoudiaris followed with another album called Opos Mistika Kai Isicha (Greek: Οπως Μυστικά Και Ήσυχα, As Secretly and Quietly). Both albums turned gold.

From 1993 to 1997 he toured frequently in support of other artists, including one of the most important female figures of Greek music, Eleftheria Arvanitaki.

In 1997 his first self-penned album, O Dromos, O Hronos Kai O Ponos (Greek: Ο Δρόμος Ο Χρόνος Και Ο Πόνος, The Road, The Time and The Pain), was released to critical praise. The cover to was painted by his father. His subsequent albums have also had their covers painted by his father.

In 1999 he released another self-penned album, Anemodiktis (Greek: Ανεμοδείκτης, Weather Vane).

In 2000 he released a double-disc live album Ektos Topou kai Xronou (Greek: Εκτός τόπου και χρόνου, Out of Space and Time).

In 2003, he released Oi Peripeties enos Proskiniti (Greek: Οι περιπέτειες ενός προσκυνητή, The Adventures of a Pilgrim). It was a popular and critical hit.

In April 2006, he released an album of Cypriot folk songs titled Pou Disin Os Anatolin (Greek:΄Πού Δύσην Ώς Άνατολήν, From dusk till dawn) with his longtime violinist Miltiadis Papastamou.

On 9 March 2009, he released the album Neroponti (Greek: Νεροποντή, Downpour).

Released in March 2012, Local Stranger is his 12th solo album and examines the “political and economic whirlwind” that has hit Greece in recent months.

In 2014 he released Mikri Valitsa (Greek: Μικρή βαλίτσα, Small Suitcase) dedicated to people who have been forced to leave their homeland and to those who feel their homeland has deserted them and the hardships that refugees face.

Ioannidis rarely appears to give interviews or take part in television shows.

Concerts
Alkinoos regularly performs in Greece and Cyprus and has toured across Europe and around the world including North America (USA, Canada), Australia, Brazil, Russia and Egypt. He has toured as a soloist, with cellist and Cretan lyra player Yiorgos Kaloudis or as a band supported by other notable Greek musicians.

They also performed together in Athens in 2013 and with the Cyprus Youth Chorus as part of Pafos European Capital of Culture in September 2017.

Freek de Jonge

Frederik "Freek" Jan Georg de Jonge (born 30 August 1944) is a Dutch cabaret performer and writer.

Early life and career
De Jonge was born in Westernieland as son of a pastor. His family moved to Workum, and later to Zaandam and Goes. At age 11, De Jonge had his first performance on stage. After barely making it through high school, he studied cultural anthropology in Amsterdam. During his studies he met and Johan Gertenbach, and they formed a group of comedy performers, Neerlands Hoop In Bange Dagen.

In 1978, Neerlands Hoop became famous for their opposition against the participation of the Netherlands national football team in the football world cup in Argentina, though their show Bloed aan de Paal.

In 1979, Neerlands Hoop split up and De Jonge started a solo career of comedy performances. Starting in 1983, he also regularly performed on Dutch national television on New Year's Eve, humoristically looking back on the past year (the so-called "Oudejaarsconference").

Writer and musician
Besides performing in cabaret, De Jonge has written the novels Zaansch Veem (1987), Neerlands Bloed (1991) and Opa's Wijsvinger (1993).

In 1994, De Jonge started to work with Nits. Under the name Frits, they performed covers of old Neerlands Hoop songs, translated Nits songs and newly written material. An album was released in 1995: Dankzij de Dijken. De Jonge continued to work with their keyboard player Robert Jan Stips: Stips released two albums: Gemeen Goed (1997) and Rapsodia (1998). A cover of Bob Dylan's "Death is not the End" reached the first place of the Dutch charts in 1997.

1997-present
From 1997 to October 2000, De Jonge was a columnist of the daily newspaper Parool.

In February 2004, he went to Iraq for a week to perform for the Dutch troops.
