Synthesis
I'm confused. On all the pages about elements they say that Ununoctium is the highest numbered element discovered, yet here it implies that element 124 has been discovered. Is this claim true? --Ferocious Flying Ferrets 02:55, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm confused too. Scientists did experiments about the fission of element 124 with the half life longer than 10-18 seconds to study the stabilities of compound nuclei. I don't know if element 124 actually been discovered. BlueEarth (talk | contribs) 21:52, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

I think it means the nucleus has been synthesized, but not with electrons around it. Riley0143 (talk) 15:18, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

 * For a new element to be established, it has to be confirmed by more than one laboratory to be certain. Consider the tetraneutron anomaly also 'discovered' at GANIL.--Plasmic Physics (talk) 00:36, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, shoudln't the article make this a little clearer? I was just as confused when I read it. Btw, is this whole Ubq thing just pathological science? Steinbach (talk) 13:27, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It is not. However, the way it's written is misleading. Compound nuclei (CN) with Z = 124 were found at GANIL. A compound nucleus is just a set of nucleons that have not settled into nuclear shells yet, and doesn't count as an isotope (and thus a discovery) unless its half-life is greater than 10−14 s (which gives time for the nuclear shells to form). Double sharp (talk) 07:15, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your quick reply. Well, I meant no offense; it just sounded a bit like pathological science to me: a single team eager to make a sensational discovery that noone shares and seems to be unrecognised. Anyway: could you make the text a little clearer and less misleading? Topics like these attract a lot of attention from interested laypeople like me, who don't necessarily know that a compound nucleus doesn't constitute a new element. Steinbach (talk) 08:12, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ Is this better? Double sharp (talk) 08:55, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, this is much clearer. Thanks a lot! Steinbach (talk) 09:02, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Compound nucleus
Hello, contrary to Steinbach, I am not satisied with the part on "compound nucleus". Mainly I think there is a lack of references. For example, could you give a reference for "A compound nucleus is a loose combination of nucleons that have not arranged themselves into nuclear shells yet." To me, a coumpound nucleus is a nucleus where all the possible configurations are equiprobable. Another exemple "It has no internal structure and is held together only by the collision forces between the target and projectile nuclei". What are these "collision forces"?

So I added some Template:Citation needed is this part. Thanks in advance to reference this part. Pamputt (talk) 08:13, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

 * The reference at the end of a group of sentences refers to all those sentences. I have no idea why nobody else seems to; probably they are being cautious. This probably indicates I should reconsider this and just mark the source at the end of every sentence it sources.
 * Will explain collision forces later... Double sharp (talk) 16:29, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

 * And ✅. Personally I still feel that it should be OK to just give the source at the end of all the material it sources, but if it increases clarity to do it this way, no problem. Double sharp (talk) 08:56, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Personnally, I prefer to source each part. It is clearer. Pamputt (talk) 07:28, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Infobox settings
At the moment, I have set Infobox unbiquadium infobox like this:

 * Physica properties

 * Unknown (And no more data in that subheader)

 * Main isotopes

 * No link to Isotopes of unbiquadium (is a redirect)

 * none -- suppresses tableheader

 * No isotopes predicted -- text shown. Or something better?

The same settings are applied in Infobox unbibium (E122).

Elements 119 and up have no wikilink to page Isotopes of ... in the subheader (those are all redirects).

-DePiep (talk) 15:21, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

 * I'd prefer to blank the isotopes section altogether if possible. There are many isotopes of E122 and E124 whose half-lives are predicted, though there are no agreed-upon values and favoring one would constitute a NPOV violation, so I do not support the addition of anything there. That said, I also suggest taking another look at the E119 and E121 infoboxes which also list one predicted value out of many - and perhaps treating them similarly. The other changes look good. ComplexRational (talk) 16:09, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Will do so for E122, E124. There will be no sectionheader either then. -DePiep (talk) 16:10, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Nice to add attepts in History section? (use history comment) -DePiep (talk) 16:15, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd rather not. We don't mention unsuccessful searches or incorrect claimed discoveries of other elements such as technetium, rhenium, and astatine in their infoboxes. ComplexRational (talk) 16:27, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * What? Is someone proposing that? Link please. -DePiep (talk) 00:40, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * No one is proposing to rework the other infoboxes. I just mentioned them because the idea to add attempts at synthesis (if I am correctly interpreting your comment above) to infoboxes for 119-126 is not reflected elsewhere and is therefore not really necessary.

Maher v Town Council of Portland

Maher v Town Council of Portland is a Canadian constitutional law court decision dealing with the constitutional guarantees for denominational schools set out in section 93 of the Constitution Act, 1867 (formerly the British North America Act, 1867). The issue was whether the Common Schools Act, enacted by the Province of New Brunswick in 1871, infringed the guarantee of denominational schools set out in section 93(1).

The court case was part of the larger debate on public funding and the role of the churches in public affairs in New Brunswick. The litigation was triggered by the Legislature of New Brunswick passing the Common Schools Act, which explicitly provided that public schools were to be non-sectarian, open to all, and under the supervision of a provincial Board of Education. Some schools under the previous system had been under the effective control of particular religious denominations, in areas where the adherents of those denominations were in the majority. Opposition to the new school system came from the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Church.

The case was ultimately decided by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Britain, at that time the court of last resort for Canada within the British Empire. The Judicial Committee held that the parish schools established under the previous law, the Parish Schools Act of 1858, were not denominational schools established by law, and were not within the protection of section 93(1). The new Common Schools Act therefore did not infringe any legal "right or privilege" possessed by anyone in New Brunswick at the time of Confederation and was constitutional. Maher v Town Council of Portland was the first case decided by the Judicial Committee under section 93 of the Constitution Act, 1867.

Development of the New Brunswick School System

Prior to Confederation, the school system in New Brunswick was governed by the Parish Schools Act of 1858, enacted by the government led by Premier Charles Fisher. That Act provided for schools to be set up on a voluntary basis in parishes, supported by voluntary financial contributions and tuition fees. Alternatively, the rate-payers in a parish could vote to impose local taxes in support of the parish school, in which case attendance at the school was free to all students. ("Parish" was the term used for one of the forms of local government at the time, rather than as a term of church organization.) As well, the Legislature appropriated a lump sum each year to support the parish schools. There was a Board of Education for the entire colony, composed of the colonial Cabinet, with overall supervision of the schools, but in practice the schools were under local control, often under the auspices of different churches and religious bodies.

The Parish Schools Act provided that the school libraries were not to contain any books hostile to the Christian religion, nor works of controversial theology. Teachers were to impress on the pupils "the principles of christianity, morality, and justice" as well as other moral and civil virtues, but in no case was a pupil to be required to read or study any religious book or participate in any act of devotion. Bible readings were permitted, on direction of the Board of Education, but only to pupils whose parents did not object.

The provincial Legislature enacted the Common Schools Act in 1871. George King, the provincial Attorney General, introduced the Bill in the Assembly and was responsible for its passage. The Assembly passed the Bill after strenuous political debate, including the adoption of a House amendment requiring that the schools be non-sectarian. The new Act carried forward much of the structure of the Parish Schools Act, but with some significant differences. The supervisory control of the provincial Board of Education was strengthened. School taxation was now made compulsory, not voluntary. Provincial funding was only to be provided to schools established under the Act. The schools were to be non-sectarian, and the Common Schools Act did not contain any provision authorising Bible readings.

Summary

There were two separate legal challenges to the new school system, brought in the New Brunswick Supreme Court:  Ex parte Maher and Ex parte Renaud. The Maher case was brought by Henry Maher, a Roman Catholic rate-payer in the town of Portland (now part of the City of Saint John), who challenged the school tax assessed by the town under the Common Schools Act. The Renaud case was brought by an individual named Renaud, and challenged a school tax assessed by the Parish of Richibucto, in the County of Kent. In both cases, the plaintiffs applied for certiorari to quash the school taxes, on the basis that the Common Schools Act infringed the right of Roman Catholics to have denominational schools, under s. 93 of the Constitution Act, 1867.

The full Supreme Court of New Brunswick, consisting of five judges, heard both applications. The Court dismissed the constitutional challenges and upheld the constitutionality of the Common Schools Act. The reasons given by the Court in the two cases are identical. The majority decision was written in both cases by Chief Justice Ritchie (Justices Allen and Weldon concurring). Justice Fisher (having left politics and been appointed to the Court) and Justice Wetmore each wrote separate concurring decisions.

Majority Reasons of Chief Justice Ritchie
Chief Justice Ritchie began by holding that the courts had the power to review the constitutionality of provincial statutes under the Constitution Act, 1867. He stated that this position had long been established in the New Brunswick courts, but he thought it necessary to state it expressly, since there had been some recent decisions in Quebec which questioned that principle. Chief Justice Ritchie referred to the Colonial Laws Validity Act, as well as the advisory decision of the judges of England with respect to the Clergy Reserves Act of the Province of Canada, as establishing that a colonial law had to comply with the terms of an Imperial statute which applied to the colony. On that basis, the laws of New Brunswick had to comply with the terms of the Constitution Act, 1867.

Turning to the constitutional issue, Chief Justice Ritchie stated that to decide if the rights of the Roman Catholic minority were infringed by the Common Schools Act, it was necessary to determine what rights they had under the law immediately before Confederation, since s. 93 of the Constitution Act, 1867 protected whatever rights they possessed at that time. He noted that there clearly were some denominational schools, operated by churches and teaching the specific tenets of those churches beliefs. He referred to specific schools run by the Methodist, Anglican, Presbyterian and Roman Catholic churches. However, those schools were not affected by the Common Schools Act and therefore did not have to be considered in his decision. Rather, it was the schools established under the Parish Schools Act which had to be considered since they were established under the law immediately in force prior to Confederation, and were affected by the changes made by the Common Schools Act.

Chief Justice Ritchie noted that the local school trustees were elected by the voters generally, and were under the supervision of the provincial Board of Education and the provincial Superintendent. Although the Parish Schools Act did provide that teachers were to inculcate the principles of Christianity, honesty and morality, the Act also provided that in doing so, teachers were not to require a student to read any religious book or join in any act of devotion to which the student's parents objected. Bible readings were permitted where authorised by local regulation, including the option of using the Douay version for Roman Catholic students, but without any additional note or comment by the teacher. By another section of the Parish Schools Act, contentious books relating to theology were not permitted in the school libraries.

One of the arguments advanced by the applicants was that even though the Act did not specifically confer control over the schools on any denomination, in practice the schools were under denominational control in those areas where a particular religious group formed the majority and thus could elect local trustees of their religious group. Those trustees in turn would allow teaching of their denomination's particular principles. The applicants argued that the schools were in fact denominational in nature, and therefore that right had to be protected. Chief Justice Ritchie rejected that argument, noting that any religious teachings were done without the authority of the Parish Schools Act, and may or may not have been with the sanction of the provincial Board of Education. That practice could not interfere with the right of all inhabitants under the Act to have a school free and independent of denominational connection.

Chief Justice Ritchie concluded that the Parish Schools Act created a general system of education for the benefit of all inhabitants of the Province, without reference to class or creed. The schools were public schools, not under the control of any denomination. No denomination had any particular rights in the schools and did not have the right to have their own religious doctrines taught in the schools. Rather, there was a general recognition of Christian precepts as part of the education of the students, without favouring any denomination in particular.

Concurring Reasons of Justice Fisher
Justice Fisher concurred in the majority's conclusion, but gave his own reasons. Prior to his appointment to the court, he had been a Father of Confederation and had participated in both the Quebec Conference and the London Conference which had produced the terms of Confederation and the text of the Constitution Act, 1867. He agreed with the majority that the Common Schools Act did not infringe s. 93 of the Constitution Act, 1867 and was constitutional. He began by noting that the purpose of s. 93 was to resolve a question that had caused serious difficulties in the former Province of Canada, prior to Confederation. Paragraphs 93(2) and (3) only applied to the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. The constitutionality of the Common Schools Act depended entirely on paragraph 93(1). It was not simply a right of privilege of the minority faith which triggers paragraph 93(1). It had to be a right or privilege, of the members of the minority faith, with respect to denominational schools, which they had at law at the time of Union, and which was prejudicially affected by a subsequent government action.

The first question was therefore to define a "denominational school". Justice Fisher stated that a denominational school is a school under the exclusive government of some one denomination of Christians, and where the tenets of that denomination are taught. If that condition were met, it would be necessary to examine the laws in force at the time of union, to determine if any such school existed at law, and if the right of the minority faith has been prejudicially affected.

Justice Fisher then reviewed the provisions of the Parish Schools Act. In his view, the schools established under the act were under the control of the Board of Education, a purely political body, and under the supervision of the Superintendent, a political officer. Like Chief Justice Ritchie, he referred to the provision barring books of controversial theology from the school libraries. Justice Fisher interpreted that provision as barring books of denominational teaching. He concluded that the schools were common to everyone, irrespective of religious opinions. No class or creed had any special right in the governance of the schools generally, or in any particular parish school. As well, the Act provided that no student was to read any religious book or participate in any religious act of devotion, unless the student's parents wished it. Justice Fisher held that this provision was a positive enactment against denominational teaching by the school. He also concluded that the provision for Bible readings in the schools did not establish that the schools were denominational, since in his view the Bible was not a denominational book.

Justice Fisher then referred briefly to the Common Schools Act. He concluded that it was essentially the same as the Parish Schools Act, with the only real difference that school assessment became mandatory. He also noted that the Common Schools Act did not provide directly for bible readings, but left the decision as to Bible readings to the Board of Education, which could enact a regulation on that issue. He stated that whether or not the Board enacted such a regulation did not affect the constitutionality of the Act as a whole. As a result, he concluded that the Common Schools Act was constitutional.

Concurring Reasons of Justice Wetmore
Justice Wetmore also issued concurring reasons. He agreed with the other members of the Court that the Common Schools Act was constitutional. However, he wanted to make it clear that in his opinion, the constitutionality of the Act was not affected by the regulations passed by the Board of Education. It might be that those regulations were not consistent with the Common Schools Act or with s. 93 of the Constitution Act 1867, but those issues were not before the Court in this proceeding, which was a challenge to the Common Schools Act itself. Justice Wetmore refrained from any comment on the regulations, leaving that to another day, if they were ever challenged.

Decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council

Maher appealed from the Supreme Court of New Brunswick to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, at that time the highest court in the British Empire. (The Supreme Court of Canada had not yet been created.) Maher was represented by Joseph Brown, Q.C., and Mr Duff of the New Brunswick bar. Sir John Burgess Karslake and Attorney General King, now also Premier of New Brunswick, appeared for the respondent town council, defending the provincial legislation.

The Judicial Committee heard the case on July 17, 1874. During oral argument, the judges repeatedly questioned whether the schools established under the Parish Schools Act could be termed "denominational," as those schools were not under the legal control of any particular religious denomination, and could change if the religious composition of the local electorate changed. After extensive questioning of counsel for the appellant during oral argument, the Judicial Committee did not call on counsel for the respondent and dismissed the appeal from the bench.

Lord Justice James gave the decision of the Committee. In short oral reasons, he quoted a lengthy passage from the reasons of Justice Fisher in the New Brunswick Supreme Court. James L.J. agreed with Justice Fisher that the schools established under the Parish Schools Act had not been denominational schools. He held that the fact that a school in a particular area could be under the control of one religious denomination through the electoral process, and later could be under the control of another denomination if there were changes in the local electorate, demonstrated that there was no legal right involved. The changes under the Common Schools Act therefore did not affect any legal right or privilege protected by s. 93(1) of the  Constitution Act, 1867. He ruled that the Common Schools Act was constitutional.

As was the practice of the Judicial Committee at that time, there were no dissenting reasons from other members of the committee.

Subsequent Treatment of the Decision
The oral reasons of James L.J. were not reported in the official reports, and are not part of the formal record of the Privy Council. The only source for the reasons for judgment is the text-book, Wheeler's Confederation Law of Canada, published in 1896. The author of that text explained that the reasons were taken from the shorthand notes of Mr. Groves, one of the solicitors for the respondent.

In 1892, the Judicial Committee again considered the scope of s. 93 of theConstitution Act, 1867, in the case of City of Winnipeg v Barrett. The case was argued and decided prior to the publication of the Wheeler text. The Judicial Committee did not refer to its own previous decision in Maher v Town Council of Portland. Instead, counsel in that case referred the Committee to the parallel decision of the Supreme Court of New Brunswick, Ex parte Renaud, which had been published in the New Brunswick case reports.

Following the publication of the reasons for the decision in Wheeler's Confederation Law of Canada, the Maher case has been cited approvingly by the courts. Both the Supreme Court and the Judicial Committee have relied upon the Maher decision.

 * The recent problems with User en-4 (and en-3, en-2, etc.) were due to the deletion of the User sco templates earlier this month. These templates localized the English numbering system used here to the format preferred by Wikipedia Scots.  For more info, see the relevant item in the Templates for Deletions log.  Since these templates were removed, I've removed the localization links to the User sco templates from this (the User language subcategory) template.  This fixes the problem with the en-4 (and below) pages.  However, as mentioned in the deletion log, this also means that subcategories for native language speakers (e.g., ) will have an incorrect interwiki link to sco:Category:User en-N, instead of the correctly localized sco:Category:User en-M.  I'm not sure of the proper solution to this.

Talk:Yaphet Kotto

Untitled
Always liked this actor since he was in Forever Knight. Wikipedia is the first place I have ever heard that he is Jewish. Glad to know that, being Jewish myself also.

unreferenced, unverifiable
First, is it appropriate to call him "prince"?

Second, the business with his wife seeing the Virgin Mary.

Third, concerning the royal blood, is there a good source other than IMDB that states this? Also, could it be clarified? Would he be a prince with claim to all of Cameroon, or just part of Cameroon? That is, does his royal status extend to before current boundaries? Assuming that its true, of course.

Fourth, moving to Canada.

Roodog2k 11:16, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

I think that he is a bit crazy guy, but crazy in a positive way. Best wishes to him.

 * Here is the uncited info: "making Yaphet the son of the Crown Prince of the Royal Bell family of the Doualla region of West Africa's Cameroon.

He recently claims to have uncovered proof that he is the great-great-great-grandson of Britain's Queen Victoria. According to Kotto, the queen's son Prince Albert Edward VII had an illicit affair with Princess Nakande, daughter of King Doualla Manga Bell, producing the light-skinned Alexander Bell, Kotto's great-grandfather, but the deputy press secretary to Queen Elizabeth categorically refuted the story saying, " . . . Edward VII never visited Cameroon."

Yaphet Kotto is not from any family crow in Duala families, even from Duala Manga Bell!!!!!!

Kotto is married to Shirley Kotto, a Catholic, and recently claims to have seen the apparition of the Virgin Mary at Marmora, Ontario, Canada (known as Our Lady of Marmora). The couple have bought a house near Marmora and applied for landed immigrant status in Canada. It is unclear if Kotto has fully renounced his Jewish faith or not. However, according to IMDB.com "to this day, he remains a devout, practicing Jew"." Mad Jack 20:35, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Also, I don't quite have time right this second, but anyone working on this page might want to use this - - Yahoo movies - has a lot of background and family info and is usually quite reliable, unlike IMDB Mad Jack 20:37, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

His ancestry is widely accepted public information and is considered reliable. Some sources from a quick google search: In case that isn't enough, a lexis nexis search yields dozens more, inclusing but not limited to: On the opposite of the coin, I could find no sources, reputable or otherwise that dispute the claim. Reverting to include Cameroon text, citing Official bio at Yahoo and Edmonton Journal. Kershner 07:18, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yahoo Movies Bio
 * Hollywood.com Bio
 * Note the verbatim similarities between the two. That text is his official bio as released by Kotto's agent.
 * IMDb Bio
 * Essence Magazine 1999
 * "Kotto is a descendant of a crown prince of Cameroon and was raised in Harlem as a Jew." The Edmonton Journal May 28, 2000

 * "His father was the grandson of King Alexander Bell, who ruled a region of what is now Cameroon." Emerge March 31, 1998
 * Are you responding to me? All I did was remove info that had an "uncited" tag on it for a while. Mad Jack 20:30, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I was responding to your deletion of the uncited information, but I did so without prejudice. I wanted to ensure that there was no further doubt on some of the info I retained.  Kershner 20:28, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Removed "Nightmare on Elm Street actor" category entry
I believe that whoever added that to this article confused Yaphet Kotto with Ken Sagoes...
 * No, Kotto appeared in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (and survived it!) Mad Jack 23:49, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Yaphet Kotto the screamo band
Why was my edit reverted? The band are commonly identified with screamo, and are mentioned on the emo (music) page, but I am yet to seem them identified with punk. Hardcore, I could take or leave. --Matthew Proctor 04:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Dubious article
This article is full of dubious claims, and the sources cited seem extremely dubious and based solely upon his own claims (that are proven incorrect in some cases, such as his claim of being a descendant of Queen Victoria). This alleged "crown prince of Cameroon" "Avraham Kotto" doesn't even have his own article and doesn't really seem to exist (Google results are mostly mirrors of this Wikipedia article or worse, I can't find a single serious/reliable source mentioning this alleged "crown prince" who was allegedly also a Jew and a businessman for some weird reason and who married a nurse - an unusual career for a crown prince) Jeannedeba (talk) 21:37, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Once again, there hasn't been provided a single reliable third-party source that supports the claim that his father was a "crown prince" and the other dubious stuff (to put it very mildly). An interview with himself in some trash website such as www.allbusiness.com, that only reports his own claims without backing them up with any serious sources, is NOT a reliable source, merely his own unsupported claims. If his father was really the crown prince of Cameroon etc., it would be easy to back it up with serious sources, instead of his own claims in interviews with www.allbusiness.com. So unless we see some serious sources, these dubious claims stay out of the article. Jeannedeba (talk) 00:39, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Incidentally, Cameroon has been a republic (not a kingdom) since its independence, and was formerly a colony and a mandate territory, not a kingdom. There has never been a "king of Cameroon" (or a "crown prince of Cameroon"). I think this establishes that the "crown prince" story is a hoax. There is an interesting story about another alleged "king of Cameroon" here. Jeannedeba (talk) 00:55, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Your use of the phrase "original research" is completely incorrect. According to WP:NOR, "No original research" means that "all material in Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable, published source. Articles may not contain any new analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to advance a position not clearly advanced by the sources." Taking information from newspapers like The Tuscaloosa News, the Kentucky New Era and The Standard-Times (New Bedford) is not original research, nor is taking information from an interview with the subject of the article in People (magazine) (or AllBusiness.com, for that matter). If not for newspapers and journals, we would nary have any sources at all. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 22:53, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * An interview with himself in some obscure publication that only reports his own claims is not a reliable source for anything else than what he's claiming, it doesn't establish that his claims are true, specifically when it's very easy to establish that there has never been a crown prince of Cameroon. Taking mere unsupported claims of royalty from an obscure local newspaper like The Tuscaloosa News and presenting it as a fact is original research. Jeannedeba (talk) 16:16, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

According to the source currently cited in the article, he wasn't born as a "royal", it was something he "found out" in adult life "whilestudying his family's lineage". There are lots of examples of grown people who have "found out" that they were in reality royals, claims that are seldomly accepted. Kotto also claims to be the "great, great grandson of Queen Victoria", a claim that has been widely dismissed (genealogists are very well aware of all of Victoria's descendants, Wikipedia probably has a list somewhere, most of the living ones (except those who married catholics) are included in the Line of succession to the British throne). Simply claiming that you are the "great, great grandson of Queen Victoria" doesn't make you a real "great, great grandson of Queen Victoria". Notably, the Buckingham Palace has dismissed Kotto's claims. Jeannedeba (talk) 16:21, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

2020 death rumors
No news showing he died on January 23, 2020. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:2A81:10:E8EA:1E74:761C:4478 (talk) 03:40, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Bell family
So is Kotto's descent from "King Alexander Bell" proven anywhere, or is this alleged descent, like that from Queen Victoria, only based on his own claims? For example, is there any source indicating his father to have originally been "Njoki Manga Bell", and even if that were his name, that he descends from "King Alexander Bell"? If not- and frankly, considering the existence of separate articles about members of that family, even if so- the whole massive paragraph about the history of the Bell family in Cameroon is irrelevant. For all it goes on about this "King" and that, nowhere does it establish the link to the former "Njoki Manga Bell". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.76.6 (talk • contribs) 01:52, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * In fact, what he's saying is that his "Bell" line is illegitimate, given that "Princess Nakande, daughter of King Doualla Manga Bell... had an affair with Edward III... in the late 19th century". Who was "King Doualla Manga Bell"? Presumably Rudolf Duala Manga Bell (1873-1914)? He was s. of Manga Ndumbe Bell and grandson of Ndumbe Lobe Bell, who the article redirects to "King Alexander Bell", but that would make "Alexander Bell" more than Yaphet Kotto's "great-grandfather"... also, Nakande would have barely been born in the "late 19th century" given her putative father's age. None of this really holds up to scrutiny without more independent (i.e. not Kotto-derived) sources; for example, I can't find a single thing about "Princess Nakande" anywhere that isn't about Yaphet Kotto's claim, for the record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.76.6 (talk • contribs) 02:02, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The source cited for Kotto giving his "great-grandfather" as "King Alexander Bell" doesn't equate that name with Ndumbe Lobe Bell, to whose article this links; in fact, the cited source doesn't even mention a name, it only states that his father was "crown prince of Cameroon" [sources cited later in the article do however give Kotto's "King Alexander Bell"; one of these ought to be moved to cite that specific piece of information]. In light of this, is there any basis for assuming Ndumbe Lobe Bell to be the individual Kotto intended in saying "King Alexander Bell", aside from the (possibly inaccurate, as "family legends" so often are) alleged rulership "of the Douala region of Cameroon in the late-19th century"? Finally, the whole "he was a practising Jew" (not in Ndumbe Lobe Bell's article at all) and "(Kotto's) paternal family originated from Israel many centuries ago, migrating to Egypt and then Cameroon, and have been African Jews for many generations" elements, which enter the realms of speculation (on his part or whoever else's), are sufficient to cause the raising of an eyebrow at the very least. Given the absolute lack of any sources aside from Kotto's own (alleged) conclusions, it all just seems- particularly the "we were always Jewish, OK?" aspect, like some weird fanciful story conjured up by an evidently devout man to legitimise and ease the pain of his identity issues and difficult upbringing, fistfights and all, as the article then continues to describe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.76.6 (talk • contribs) 02:19, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

I think Yaphet Kotto was prone to extreme claims. He claimed to be an 'experiencer' who was in regular contact with real extra-terrestials. He kept quiet about it, because people would think he was saying it to promote Alien. He also claimed to have an IQ of 196, which would make him one of the smartest people to have walked the planet. If I had an IQ of 196, I wouldn't have gone into acting. I would have found a cure for cancer. Eligius (talk) 00:42, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Married with two different persons at the same time?
Did he really marry while still married, in 1975? Calle Widmann (talk) 13:15, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

 * This is a relatively recent edit. The source is "California, Marriage Index, 1960-1985, California Department of Health, P.O. Box 997410, Sacramento, CA 95899-7410." I don't know if anyone has tried to verify that. -- GentlemanGhost  (séance)  18:31, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

That would make him a bigamist, which is obviously illegal, and there is no mention of that anywhere. According to the second article source, he was married to his first wife for fourteen years, and married his second wife within a week of his divorce which seems much more likely. Editrite!

Birth name
What is Kotto's full birth name?

In the article we have two different variants :

Yaphet Frederick Kotto (most sources)

and

Frederick Samuel Kotto (Ancestry.com)

Washington Post states a third variant :

Samuel Fredrick Kotto

Which one should be classified as the official one? Can we combinate them? Should we have special section in the article clarifying this?

Does anyone out there have any ideas?

Date of death?
When did Yaphet Kotto actually die? Most sources, like New York Times and Hollywood Reporter, says he died on Monday according to his wife.

However, CNN states that he died on Sunday according to his agent.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/16/entertainment/yaphet-kotto/index.html

So, who do we trust, his wife or his agent?

Is this a just a screwup from one of them or is it just the usual timezone crap? Could someone please clear this mess up, before people start changing the death date back and forth...

Emina Jahović

Emina Jahović (Емина Јаховић, ; born 15 January 1982), is a Serbian-Turkish singer-songwriter, actress and businesswoman of Bosniak origin. Born and raised in Novi Pazar, she made her recording debut in 2002 and has released five studio albums: Tačka (2002), Radije ranije (2005), Vila (2009), Metamorfoza (2014) and Dalje (2018)

Outside her singing career, Jahović starred as Lale Taşkıran Ilgaz in the television series Lale Devri, between 2010 and 2014. She also served as a judge on the singing competitions X Factor Adria (2013) and Rising Star Türkiye (2016).

Jahović was married to singer Mustafa Sandal with whom she has two sons.

Early life
Emina Jahović was born on 15 January 1982 in Novi Pazar to a Muslim Bosniak family. Her mother Senija who worked as a paediatrician and father Nusret who was a cardiologist. She has two older siblings, including NBA player Mirsad Türkcan. Emina lost her father at the age of thirteen. She started attending music school during middle school and took theatre lessons in high school. Jahović eventually received a bachelor's degree in management from the Braća Karić University in Belgrade.

Career
She began her career by competing at regional music festivals and won at the youth festival Zlatna staza in Montenegro with "Samo ti, moja muziko" ("Only You, My Music"). Jahović then rose to prominence upon her debut album Tačka ("Enough") in 2002, which was released under Dino Merlin's record label. Jahović in 2004 joined pop-rock band Hari Mata Hari on their tour across Bosnia and Herzegovina and North America, performing for Yugoslav diaspora. Her sophomore album, Radije ranije ("Rather Sooner"), was released through City Records in 2005. It saw significant success with hit-songs such as "Da l' ona zna" ("Does She Know"). Same year she was also declared the songwriter of the year at the Pjesma Mediterana festival in Budva.

In 2007, Jahović collaborated with Serbian duo Flamingosi on "La Gitana" ("The Gypsy Woman"). The single's accompanying music video was awarded at the Sunčane Skale festival in Montenegro. The following year, she released her first single in English, titled "Exhale", which was completely produced and recorded in New York City under the production wing of Bojan Dugić (aka Bojan "Genius" Dugic), the Recording Academy's Grammy Awards voting member who worked with such best selling artists as Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Jay-Z, and Jennifer Lopez. The maxi single contained remix tracks by DJs, including Elvir Gazić and Levent Gündüz. The tracks "Push It" and "Push It (Remix)" featured Cory Gunz, an American rapper.

On 19 April 2008, the accompanying video for "Exhale" premiered on the MTV Adria show Top 20 which counts down the biggest videos in the localized version of the music and entertainment channel MTV Europe. Emir Khalilzadeh directed the video. Khalilzadeh also directed the music video for Emina's 2009 song "Pile moje" ("My Dear"), which was shot in historical places such as Istanbul High School.

In December 2008, she released her single "Još ti se nadam" ("I'm Still Hoping for You"), a duet with the Serbian singer Saša Kovačević. The song was first presented at the Serbian Radio Festival in Vrnjačka Banja. Jahović said that she had written the lyrics for "Još ti se nadam" after she had broken up with Mustafa Sandal for a short time in 2006. However, its music was credited to the influential Greek recording artist Michalis Hatzigiannis. The single was re-released later on in Emina's 2009 album. The music video for the song was shot on several different locations in Serbia and was considered to be one of the most expensive music videos in Serbian music history.

In 2009, as a special guest star, she performed the song "Pile moje" at Sunčane Skale. Additionally, "Rođeni sa greškom" ("Born With a Mistake"), which is a pop song performed by singers Ana Bebić, Milica Majstorović, and Danijel Pavlović, was written by Jahović in Istanbul, in the studio of her pop star husband Mustafa Sandal who is also a music producer.

On 21 May 2009, Jahović's third studio album Vila ("Fairy") was released through PGP RTS. She dedicated this album to her late grandfather, Adam. The album was recorded in two years and included songs written and composed by Jahović, except "Ne zaboravi" ("Don't Forget"), a song by Aleksandra Milutinović who also worked on Emina's previous albums, and "Zver" ("Beast"), which was co-written and co-produced by Dino Merlin. The track "Ne zaboravi" featured a back-up vocal by the famous Turkish pop singer İzel. The album also featured a duet with Dino Merlin, "Med" ("Honey"), which is known as the only song Merlin ever sang that he had not written by himself. It is also mentioned by Jahović that the reason why she chose the name Vila for the album is because she thought the title track was one of the best songs she had ever written and that was why she wanted people to pay attention to it.

On 25 October 2009, Jahović held a concert at the Sava Centar in New Belgrade, Serbia. Staged in support of her album Vila and comprising a set list of songs from that and her previous albums, she wore 13 costumes during the event and sang her greatest hits. Some of the guests including Saša Kovačević, Jelena Tomašević, and Sergej Ćetković joined her on stage for duets. Among the other guests were the Minister of Labour and Social Policy and the close family friend Rasim Ljajić, Mustafa Sandal, Marija Šerifović, Anabela, Milica Milša, Žarko Jokanović, Dragana Mirković, Hari Varešanović, and Mia Borisavljević.

2011–2012: International collaborations
In 2011, Jahović released two singles, "Gospodine" ("Mister") and "Posle mene" ("After Me"). Both were released by City Records. "Gospodine" was written and composed by Jahović herself. This song was released as a duet with the famous singer Nataša Bekvalac on 8 March, the International Women's Day. "Posle mene" was premiered on 22 July 2011 on Prva Srpska Televizija's famous late-night talk show Veče sa Ivanom Ivanovićem, whereas the other guest of the show was minister Ljajić. The music video for the song "Posle mene" was shot in the summer of 2011, in Göcek, Fethiye. The video was directed by Miloš Nadaždin.

On 29 November 2011, she was named Person of the Year by Hello! Srbija and received the award, designed by Karim Rashid, which is also awarded to 23 other celebrities at the event held at the White Palace, a part of Belgrade's Royal Compound. On 16 December 2011, the ceremony aired on RTV Pink. The song "Broken" that is recorded by the popular Turkish producer and DJ Erdem Kınay with vocals from its co-composer Emina, was released in March 2012, following Emina's Valentine's Day special "Beograd priča" ("Belgrade Is Talking") featuring Dženan Lončarević, which was published on 14 February 2012. The song was featured on the Erdem Kınay's album Proje and was written by the New York-based Turkish-American singer S. Derin Togar. After monitoring the international record market in 2012, the editors of the Eurodanceweb chose Jahović and Erdem Kınay's work "Broken" as the most interesting dance track for Turkey. The selected Turkish entry "Broken" was then voted by a professional jury of disc jockeys, journalists, producers, radio speakers and webmasters of popular websites and music blogs; yet, Belgium won the 2012 Eurodanceweb. At the 2006 Eurodanceweb Awards, Jahović was chosen Bosnia and Herzegovina's singer of the year, with the song "Živeo" ("Cheers"). Collecting a total of 80 points in the international music competition, she placed thirteenth out of 40 countries.

In December 2012, Emina's second Turkish single and first solo single in Turkish, "Kimse Yok Mu?" ("Is There Anyone?"), was recorded by Doğan Music Company. The song was written and composed by Jahović and Mustafa Sandal. The lyrics revolve around Jahović asking a man to go back to her. The Serbian version, "I da mogu" ("Even If I Could"), which peaked at number one in such Southeast European countries as Bulgaria, was also made available in 2012. Miloš Nadaždin directed the accompanying music video. Jahović is often referred to as the "Turkish J.Lo" since critics noted costume references and artistic similarities to the work of Jennifer Lopez. "I da mogu" was the second best-selling single of Serbia in 2013 and peaked at number two on the "Top 10 singlova" chart of City Records.

As of 2012, due to her association with the record label Croatia Records, Jahović was the first non-Croatian whose works were broadcast on Croatian Music Channel, which is the largest Croatian music channel and broadcasts only Croatian music and music of Croatian production.

During the year 2012, Jahović also collaborated with Hamza Haimami, the Moroccan-born dancer, creative director, and choreographer known for his work with Rihanna as well as with artists including Fergie, Katy Perry, Usher, will.i.am, and the Pussycat Dolls. Jahović has also worked with Marko Peruničić and Nebojša Arežina's songwriting and production team called Atelje Trag, which also collaborated with artists such as Jelena Karleuša and Lepa Brena.

2013–2018: X Factor Adria and Dalje
On 27 February 2013, Jahović won the 3rd Media Awards of OMU for the Best Breakthrough Album. The 3rd Media Awards of OMU were held at the Atatürk Congress and Culture Center in Samsun. It was the first official music award that Jahović won in Turkey.

In April 2013, she released her single "Nedostaješ" ("You're Missed"). The song was written and composed by Jahović herself. The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Vedad Jašarević. Arranged by Seçkin Özer and produced by Samsun Demir, the Turkish version of the song is known as "Yakışmaz" ("Unsuitable"). The lyrics to the song were written by Deniz Erten. Released in May 2013 through Doğan Music Company, "Yakışmaz" was Emina's third single in Turkish language. The lyrics of the pop-flamenco song revolve around the theme of love and grief. On 2 June 2013, Jahović performed her song "Nedostaješ" on RTV Pink's VIP Room 2013 at Elite Model Look final in Serbia.

In June 2013, she announced her fourth album with the release of the song "Žena zmaj" ("Dragon Lady"). In September, Jahović was announced as the judge and coach on the first season of X Factor Adria alongside Željko Joksimović, Kristina Kovač and Kiki Lesendrić. In October the following year, she released Metamorfoza ("Metamorphosis") under City Records. The album included seven main tracks and five previously released songs as bonus tracks. It was sold in 50,000 units.

On 23 January 2018, Jahović released her fifth studio album Dalje ("Farther") through IDJTunes. On the album she collaborated with Darko Dimitrov, who wrote the songs alongside her. Dalje was preceded by three singles in 2017: "Protiv svih" ("Against Everybody"), "Limunada" ("Lemonade") featuring Milica Todorović, and "Karma". The music video for "Limunada" accumulated over 80 million views on YouTube.

Musical themes and voice style
Originally marketed as a teen pop singer on late 1990s and early 2000s, Jahović is known for blending R&B with schlager music. Reviewers identify Emina's music as mainly belonging to pop music genre; however, among fusion and subgenres that her music is referred to as are traditional pop, teen pop, synthpop, soft rock, power pop, pop rock, indie pop, glam rock, Europop, Euro disco, electropop, easy listening, disco house, deep house, dance-pop, Britpop, bebop, and ballad.

The constant theme in Jahović's music and lyrics is love, although she has written on other subjects including grief. Considering her vocal agility and endurance, Emina's voice is likely to be classified as mezzo-soprano with a warm lower register and an agile high register.

Public image
Jahović is widely known as "pop princeza" ("Pop Princess"). However, she is sometimes referred to as "pop diva" and "srpska diva" ("Serbian Diva"). As a result of her album Vila, Serbian media also gave her the nickname of "balkanska vila" ("Fairy of the Balkans").

Jahović has been quite popular across the entire area of the former Yugoslavia and all around Eastern Europe. She is also known in such regional countries as Iran for her protagonistic role in Omre Gole Laleh and is widely recognized amongst the diaspora communities of the former Yugoslavia in western Europe, United States, Australia, and Canada.

In his column for Wired, the American science and technology magazine published by Condé Nast, Bruce Sterling described Jahović as "neo-Ottoman diva".

Humanitarian work
Being a high paid artist in the Balkans,  Jahović is involved in various philanthropic and charitable activities.

Jahović was the official face of the HRH Crown Princess Katherine Humanitarian Foundation's Campaign to Fight Against Breast Cancer. Jahović was announced the face of the health campaign on 7 October 2009 at the White Palace by Katherine, Crown Princess of Yugoslavia, who is the titular pretender queen consort of Yugoslavia.

Acting career
Between 2010 and 2011, she was cast in the leading role as Lale Taşkıran Ilgaz in Lale Devri, a Turkish television primetime soap opera that airs on FOX. The series debuted on Show TV. Also airing in syndication in more than 30 countries around the world, Lale Devri was broadcast under the name Polje lala on RTV Pink in the Balkan Peninsula. In Azerbaijan, the series is called Lalə Dövrü and Emina's role is known as Lalə Ilqaz Kamal qızı. Emina Jahović rose to fame in the Arab World where the series Lale Devri, under the name ثورة التوليب, was aired by Middle East Broadcasting Center and Dubai TV. Similarly, Kazakh El-Arna television's Пора тюльпанов ( tr. ''Pora tulpanov") helped Jahović get recognized as an actress by the Central Asian audience.

Later in 2012, Jahović and Mustafa Sandal were featured in the TV commercial Akıllı Telefon Hareketi for Turkcell, which aired throughout the year in order to promote the Turkish multinational telecommunications company's smartphone revolution.

In February 2013, Turkcell unveiled its second TV commercial featuring the Sandal couple, Maxi'yi Alan Yaşadı.

Modeling
Since her debut, she has been the face of a variety of advertising campaigns. Standing almost 5 feet 11 inches (180 centimeters) tall, Jahović was an official face of Fabrika and Kara, Turkish and Macedonian fashion labels respectively. Citing devotion to her family, she once rejected an offer from the most prestigious lingerie company in Turkey because she feared it could tarnish her brother's (6 ft 9 in) image in the country. Jahović is also famous for having long legs that are 122 cm (4 ft 1 in) in length. She was featured on the cover of numerous European magazines such as Cosmopolitan Serbia, Elele, Lepota i zdravlje, Maxim, Women's Health, Hafta Sonu, Mother and Baby, HELLO!, etc.

Throughout December 2010 Jahović Sandal documented her daily fashion and style choices for Vogue Türkiye official website Vogue.com.tr's popular sartorial section called "Today I'm Wearing"—"Bugün Ne Giydim?" feature in Turkish. Additionally, the 2013 Dosso Dossi Fashion Show that took place on 9 January 2013 featured performances by Sandal while Adriana Lima was walking the runway.

Yaemina Beauty
In June 2014, Jahović presented her first perfume, titled Closer. In January 2016, she launched her own beauty brand, Yaemina Beauty, and her second perfume Closer Swan City.

Personal life
Apart from her native Serbian, she claims to speak English and Turkish fluently, and a bit of Bulgarian and Slovenian.

When she was 17, Jahović married a fellow Novi Pazar resident Aladin Đulović. However, they divorced only six months later when Jahović's father-in-law Rustem Đulović opposed to her ambitions to become a professional singer.

On 13 January 2008, Jahović married the Turkish singer Mustafa Sandal whom she met in July 2004 in Bodrum, Muğla. Their first child was born in Istanbul on 8 August 2008. The couple also welcomed their second son on 21 February 2012. Jahović acquired Turkish citizenship in 2012. She eventually divorced from Sandal in 2018.

Embrik Strand

Embrik Strand (2 June 1876 – 3 November 1947) was an entomologist and arachnologist who classified many insect and spider species, including the greenbottle blue tarantula.

Life and career
Strand was born in Ål, Norway. He studied at the University of Kristiania (now University of Oslo). Around 1900 he focused on collecting insect specimens from Norway. These are now deposited at the university's museum, where he worked as a curator from 1901 to 1903.

After studying at the University of Oslo Strand traveled in Norway from 1898 to 1903 collecting a great number of insects. For part of this time (1901–1903) he was a conservator in the museum of zoology of the university. He then left for Germany where he continued his studies of zoology at the University of Marburg (1903), then he worked with State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart (1905) and, later, that of Tübingen and then with Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt. From 1907, he worked with Natural History Museum, Berlin. In 1923, he accepted the post of professor of zoology at the University of Riga and where he directed the institute of zoology and hydrobiology.

Strand was the author of many publications, mainly on insects and spiders and was the descriptor of several hundred new species. From 1910 to 1929, he edited the review Archiv für Naturgeschichte and was the founder, in 1928, of Folia zoologica and hydrobiologica. Pierre Bonnet indicates, in his  Bibliographia araneorum (pages 150–153), that a record number of new taxa were dedicated to Strand. Strand himself was the editor of a book in three volumes listing these, to celebrate his jubilee. There are indeed several hundreds of species which bear his name in all the possible forms: strandi, atrandella, embriki, embrikiellus, embrik-strandella, etc. In the same way, Bonnet reproached Strand renaming already described species, but of which he, Strand, considered the name incorrect: Strand draws up a list of these, in 1926, where he renames nearly 1,700 taxa of spiders.

He was a prolific author, the list of his publications which he published in 1918 (after only twenty years of activity) is 1,200 titles. Strand was a contributor to Adalbert Seitz's Macrolepidoptera of the World (Bombycidae). He died in Riga, aged 71.

Strand's collection of insects and spiders from Norway is in the Zoological Museum of the University of Oslo. His types are in the German Entomological Institute and the Museum für Naturkunde.

Talk:Helsinki slang

Untitled
"... also certain Somali loans have found their way on the Helsinki slang vocabular ..." I'd be interested in hearing some examples of this, as I have yet to hear Somali loanwords in Finnish. - Quirk 03:26, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Distinctive features of Helsinki slang
I have deleted the following from the list "Some distinctive aspects in Helsinki slang":

 * Personal pronouns shortened: mä, sä, se, me, te, noi.
 * Passive cases instead of plural 1st: me mennää pro "me menemme" (we go)
 * Plural 3rd same as singular 3rd: noi menee pro "he menevät" (they go)
 * Final phonemes, especially the genitive n, often disappear at the end of words

None of these features is in any way distinctive to Helsinki slang; they are widely attested in the traditional dialects and they're also characteristic of many modern varieties of spoken Finnish. --AAikio 06:11, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Name of Helsinki
The article states that the "only name Helsinkians use to refer to Helsinki is Stadi". I have lived in Helsinki five years and have found out that many inhabitants of Helsinki use the official word "Helsinki". So the article should probably be modified a bit. --Raketooy 09:23, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * That particular part of the article sounds like an eager Helsinkian trying to amuse a foreign visitor, or what a foreign travel writer might put down after encountering said eager Helsinkian. It should be rewritten in a rather more dispassionate tone. I rewrote the footnote discussing the slang name for Sörnäinen, partly in the hope of provoking someone more knowledgeable than myself to go over the article. As to that bit about the name of the city, you're right.--Rallette 13:55, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Helsinkians refer to their city as Helsinki when speaking normal Finnish but as stadi when speaking slang. J I P  | Talk 19:01, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I am not really an expert in the subject, but if I heard someone say they're going to Stadi, I'd expect them to go to south from Pitkäsilta, whereas Helsinki includes also regions such as Kannelmäki and Vuosaari.Punainen Nörtti 17:48, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, especially nowadays younger people living in Helsinki suburds tend to go to "Stadi" when they are going to the city centre. However, when out of Helsinki, these people will probably use "Stadi" and mean Helsinki as a whole. And of course not every Helsinkian uses "Stadi" all the time. Most of the people I know use both Stadi and Helsinki, some with non-Helsinkian origins even use "Hesa", tell-tale of a "hillbilly". JJohannes (talk) 12:44, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Pronunciation
... of the phrase Stadin slangi. The vowels in particular: as normal in Finnish, or like ?"stawdin slængi" with Swedish and English a ' s? Thank you. 85.182.121.85 10:10, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Helsinki slang is pronounced exactly like normal Finnish, both the normal words and the slang words. J I P  | Talk 18:58, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * ...but keep in mind that in urban southern Finnish speech in general,  is pronounced as fronted, somewhere in the territory of rather than . The flapping of  does not apply I think, but I could be wrong. --Tropylium 14:33, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Viivi & Wagner
Someone with a nice Viivi & Wagner collection, please find a reference for the "Galsa blosis" quote.Punainen Nörtti 11:02, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I have every Finnish Viivi & Wagner album ever. I just have to remember where I put them. J I P  | Talk 16:40, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Look for Stadin Arska (Arvo Turtiainen) for more details
I have had many disscussions over the subject with late Mr Arvo Turtiainen (Stadin Arska) during his life period when he lived in "Käkkelpyy" (Käpylä). As a person who have lived for more than sixty years in Helsinki I can say that Stadi meant only Vironniemi (Cape of Viro /Estonia) ie. south of Pitkäsilta (Long Bridge), Töölönlahti (Bay of Töölö) and Humallahti (Bay of Humal). All other areas north of this unofficial frontier were peripheria. There were not any common slang in Helsinki. One used to ask "Mennääks Vantskulle metskaamaan" (Shall we go for River Vantaa to hook?) and some answered "Ei mua huvita. Emmä viitti sotkee fillaril nii pitkäl." ( Im not interested. I do not care to bicycle so far a way.) I used always spora (tram) K when I went to Stadi (Vironmiemi ie centrum) instead of dösä (Buss) 51. friidui tsidumaan steissille (to watch girls at railway station). Me dallattii Kauppikselt Espaa ja Mikkistä steissille (We walked through Esplanade and Mikonkatu to station.) We had skragis ("War") with Kumpiksen kamujen kans. (Pals of Kumpula). Me mentii tsiduu stogeja ja ottaa höyryt verureist meiän assan puusillal. (We went to look the trains and take steam in out our smaller station ie Käpylä wooden bridge.) Joskus fillaroitii Patsulle skodaa rottii luftaril. (Sometimes we bicycled to Pasila garbage place to shoot rats with air rifles.) Here are only few examples of one Slang version.

Nowadays it is nearly impossible to hear such a talking in Helsinki resulting from increased inwandering from other parts of Finland to Helsinki (Stadi) area. Most of scholars agree that the time of Stadi slang is over in Helsinki.

If I remember correct Arvo Turtiainen collected most of the slang words inside one covers in book form sometimes in the 1960s. A real rarety today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.112.85.192 (talk) 08:57, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of negative verb
The following feature was incorrectly listed among the defining characteristics of Helsinki slang: "Disappearance (optional) of the negation ei in negative expressions: Te mihkää mee pro "Ette te mihinkään mene" (You won't go anywhere!)". I deleted this because this construction type is absolutely not restrictied to Helsinki slang; it appears widely in colloquial Finnish, and also in the traditional dialects. --AAikio (talk) 22:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I think that's just pointless deletionism. Helsinki slang can be considered a modified Finnish dialect, and as a dialect, it should list all distinctive features, including those in the "parent" Tavastian dialect. --Vuo (talk) 16:22, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

 * You might want to see what "defining" means... Characteristics common to others do not define anything. That's like saying that what defines Finns is the fact that they have two hands. Also, a slang is not a dialect. It can be called a sociolect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.149.200.24 (talk) 11:48, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Old & New Helsinki slang
The article could make a difference between the old stadin slangi of days past and the slangi people use today. Old stadin slangi is pretty much extinct as far as usage goes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.181.19.140 (talk) 08:34, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Examples into a table
I've added proper Finnish equivalents to the examples in the Usage and examples section, laid out everything in tabular format, and done some general editing/correcting/tidying-up. I don't quite see what the use of italics adds to it, so didn't try to replicate in the proper Finnish column. In fact, I would suggest removing the italics altogether, but didn't want to do so just yet, in case others fee they're worth retaining? DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:52, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Jeremy Hermida

Jeremy Ryan Hermida (born January 30, 1984) is an American former professional baseball outfielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Florida Marlins, Boston Red Sox, Oakland Athletics, Cincinnati Reds and San Diego Padres, and in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) for the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters.

Early career
After graduating from Wheeler High School in Marietta, Georgia, Hermida was the Marlins' No. 1 draft pick (11th overall) in the 2002 Major League Baseball draft, signed by Marlin scout, Joel Smith. He was one of the highest-rated minor league players that season, Hermida was a rising star in minor league baseball before being brought up. The Marlins were not looking for him to make a significant contribution the way Miguel Cabrera did when he was brought up from Double-A in June 2003, but Hermida has been compared to Braves' rookie Jeff Francoeur ever since the two were 14 years old growing up in the Atlanta area. Although the major difference between the two players is Hermida's eye for the strike zone, Hermida is one of the rare few in the minor leagues who was encouraged to swing more and walk less.

Florida Marlins
Called up from the Double-A Carolina Mudcats, Hermida made his major league debut with the Florida Marlins on August 31, 2005. The Marlins promoted Hermida before September 1 so that he would be eligible to be on the Marlins' postseason roster, however the Marlins, who led the wild-card race on September 13, lost 12 of their next 14 games and were eliminated from postseason contention. In his debut, Hermida became the second of only four players in history to hit a grand slam in his first major league at-bat, after Bill Duggleby in 1898, and followed by Kevin Kouzmanoff in 2006 and Daniel Nava in 2010. Hermida is the only player to accomplish this feat as a pinch hitter, coming off St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Al Reyes.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the only other player with a grand slam in his first major league at-bat was pitcher Bill Duggleby, who did it for the Philadelphia Phillies at home against the New York Giants in the second inning on April 21, 1898. Duggleby was the winning pitcher that day. However, since then Kevin Kouzmanoff, while on the Cleveland Indians, hit a grand slam on the first pitch of his first major league at-bat against Edinson Vólquez, and Daniel Nava of the Red Sox hit a grand slam on the first pitch of his first major league at-bat against Joe Blanton. (Nava was playing left field for Boston in part because of an injury to Hermida, who was injured in a collision with third baseman Adrián Beltré.) Bobby Bonds of the San Francisco Giants also hit a slam in his first game off Los Angeles Dodgers reliever John Purdin, doing so in his third plate appearance on June 25, 1968, at Candlestick Park, as did the Giants' Brandon Crawford in the third at-bat of his debut May 27, 2011, off Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Shaun Marcum.

In 2007, he led all Major League right fielders in errors, with 9, and had the lowest fielding percentage among them, .966.

Boston Red Sox
On November 5, 2009, Hermida was traded to the Boston Red Sox for left-handed minor league pitchers Hunter Jones and Jose Alvarez. Hermida played 52 games for the Red Sox in 2010, including 41 starts in left field, batting .203 in 158 at-bats.

On July 31, 2010, Hermida was designated for assignment. On August 31, Hermida was released.

Oakland Athletics
On September 3, 2010, Hermida signed a minor league contract with the Oakland Athletics and appeared in a few games at Triple-A Sacramento before being called to the parent club, where he played in 21 games through the end of the season. He declared for free agency on October 12.

Cincinnati Reds
Hermida signed a minor league contract with the Cincinnati Reds on January 4, 2011, with an invitation to spring training, where Hermida competed for a spot on the bench as a left-handed batter/backup outfielder. Hermida started the season with the Reds' AAA team, the Louisville Bats. On April 18, he was added to the Reds 40-man roster and called up to the Reds after Juan Francisco was put on the disabled list. Hermida played in 10 games before being sent back down to Triple-A on May 4 when Fred Lewis came off the disabled list. Hermida spent the rest of the season in Louisville, where he was named an International League midseason All-Star.

San Diego Padres
On August 31, 2011, the Padres claimed Hermida off waivers from the Reds. Hermida finished 2011 with 7 walks and 9 hits, including 1 home run, in 48 plate appearances for the Padres.

Hermida appeared in 13 games for the Padres in April 2012, picking up 6 hits in 24 at-bats. A strained abductor muscle sent him to the disabled list on April 27. After missing two months on the DL, he finished his season with the Triple-A Tucson Padres, posting a .252/.318/.358 line in 151 at-bats. On August 22, he was designated for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster. He was released on August 28, becoming a free agent.

Cleveland Indians
On February 4, 2013, the Cleveland Indians signed Hermida to a minor league contract.

Milwaukee Brewers
On January 25, 2014, the Milwaukee Brewers signed Hermida to a minor league deal.

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters
On December 12, 2014, he was released by the Brewers and signed with the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball. He became a free agent after the 2015 season.

X-Acto

X-Acto is a brand name for a variety of cutting tools and office products owned by Elmer's Products, Inc. These include hobby and utility knives, saws, carving tools and many small-scale precision knives used for crafts and other applications. An X-Acto knife may be called an Exacto knife, utility knife, precision knife, or hobby knife.

History
The original knife was invented in the 1930s by Sundel Doniger, a Jewish Polish immigrant to the United States. He started a medical supply company in 1917 producing medical syringes and scalpels with removable blades. This would later be his inspiration for the X-Acto brand of knives. He had planned to sell it to surgeons as a scalpel but it was not acceptable, because it could not be cleaned. His brother-in-law, Daniel Glück (father of poet and 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Louise Glück), suggested that it might be a good craft tool.

In 1930, a house designer asked Doniger if he could create something for him that would help him crop some advertisements, Doniger agreed and created what is now known as the X-Acto Knife.

Design

An X-Acto knife is a blade mounted on a pen-like aluminum body. A knurled collar loosens and tightens an aluminum collet with one slot, which holds a replaceable blade.

There are numerous other knives on the market with very similar designs. Blades are typically interchangeable between different brands.

Uses
X-Acto knives are generally used for crafting and hobbies, such as modelmaking.

Before the availability of desktop publishing tools, preparing copy for use in printing (literal cut and paste or paste up) depended heavily on the use of knives like the X-Acto for trimming and manipulating slips of paper.

Other products
In addition to knives, blades, and tools, X-Acto produces office supplies including pencil sharpeners, paper trimmers, staplers, and hole punchers. X-Acto sharpeners are electric, battery, or manual. X-Acto has three types of trimmers: razor, rotary, and guillotine.

Through 2012, the company sold ceramic and convection space heaters and fans under the Boston brand name.

In culture
The use of the X-Acto knife gained notoriety in Canada in May 2012 as it was used by Luka Magnotta who killed and dismembered Lin Jun in an Montreal apartment. During the trial in 2014, the knives were recovered but it is possible the X-Acto knives could be definitively linked to the murder.

Craig Russell (Canadian actor)

Russell Craig Eadie (January 10, 1948 – October 31, 1990), better known by his stage name Craig Russell, was a Canadian female impersonator and actor.

Early life and career
Born in Toronto, Russell became president of Mae West's fan club as a teenager, and he briefly worked and lived in Los Angeles as her secretary. He returned to Toronto where he moved in with the writer Margaret Gibson. He worked as a hairdresser while pursuing his career as a stage entertainer. By 1971, he was a regular performer in Toronto gay clubs and had a burgeoning international following. He toured Las Vegas, Hollywood, San Francisco, Berlin, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Hamburg and Sydney.

His celebrity impersonations included Carol Channing, Bette Davis, Mae West, Barbra Streisand, Tallulah Bankhead, Marlene Dietrich, Bette Midler, Anita Bryant, Shirley Bassey, Peggy Lee and Judy Garland.

In 1977, Russell starred in the film Outrageous!, based on a short story written by Gibson about their time as roommates. The film was entered into the 28th Berlin International Film Festival, where Russell won the Silver Bear for Best Actor, and Russell was a Canadian Film Award nominee for Best Actor in 1977.

A decade later, in 1987, he starred in a sequel to Outrageous!, titled Too Outrageous!. Russell also released an album titled "Glamour Monster" in 1987 with the help of his manager and publicity agent Gino Empry, and multiple producers, so profits could contribute funds to AIDS research.

Personal life and death
After struggling with the failure of several shows, mistakes, and mental health issues due to the commitment to the roles he played, Russell developed drug dependency and addiction issues involving cocaine, which eventually contributed to his downfall.

Russell fathered a daughter, Susan Allison ("Allison"), who was born January 6, 1973, in Toronto. Father and daughter developed a relationship in the years before his death. Although he publicly identified as gay rather than bisexual, Russell married his close friend Lori Jenkins in 1982. Before his marriage to Jenkins, he engaged in various serious relationships with both men and women.

Russell remained married to Lori until his death in 1990 of a stroke related to complications from AIDS. He was cremated and buried at Pine Grove Cemetery in Port Perry, Ontario.

His widow Lori died on August 15, 2008, at Toronto Grace Hospital after a long battle with cancer. Her body was buried beside her husband in Port Perry.

A play titled Margaret and Craig, written by David Solomon, based on the writing of both Russell and Gibson, was in development. The play was produced in workshop at Vassar College's Powerhouse Theater in Summer 2011 with Mario Cantone as Russell and Jeni Verdon as Gibson.

In 2020, Brian Bradley published the biography Outrageous Misifts: Female Impersonator Craig Russell and His Wife, Lori Russell Eadie.

Trevor Hohns

Trevor Victor Hohns (born 23 January 1954) is a former Queensland and Australian cricketer who played in seven Test matches as a spin bowler, and was later Australia's chairman of selectors.

Earlier in his career when Hohns was a relatively obscure player on the fringes of Queensland cricket, he signed up to play for the Rebel Australians during the controversial South African series in 1985–86 and 1986–87 during the Apartheid reign. Hohns was one of only two spin bowlers in the touring party, along with former Australian Test left-arm spinner, Tom Hogan. Hohns was one of the Rebel Australians banned from playing state and Test cricket for the following two years.

Hohns played all of his seven tests in 1989, making his international debut at the age of 35. He played in the final two tests of the 1988–89 series against the West Indies, and in five tests of the 1989 Ashes series in England. Although most of the bowling success in that series was due to the fast bowling trio of Terry Alderman, Geoff Lawson and Merv Hughes, Hohns took 11 wickets, and averaged 31.75 with the bat.

Hohns also was a handy late-order batsman, often batting as high as number six for Queensland in Sheffield Shield cricket. He finished his first-class career with two centuries and 30 half-centuries from 152 matches, though 40 was his best Test score among his seven innings.

Hohns has also had impact on Australian cricket as a selector. He has been a selector from 1994 to 2006, and 2014 to the present (2021); and chairman of selectors from 1996 to 2006, and 2016 to 2021. In his first term as chairman he made several tough decisions, including ending the careers of Ian Healy and Mark Waugh and stripping Steve Waugh of the one-day captaincy.

Greyhawk Ruins

Greyhawk Ruins is an adventure module for the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) fantasy role-playing game. It was published in 1990 by TSR, Inc. for the second edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules.

Publication history
WGR1 Greyhawk Ruins was written by Blake Mobley and Timothy B. Brown, with cover art by Fred Fields, and was published by TSR in 1990 as a 128-page book with an outer folder. The adventure portion was 86 pages with the remainder comprising monster lists and dungeon maps.

In 2007, Wizards of the Coast released Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk, an adventure book for 3.5 edition D&D that updates the material in Greyhawk Ruins.

Contents
The adventure is set in the World of Greyhawk campaign setting and describes the ruins of and dungeons beneath Castle Greyhawk. The module is a more serious take on the dungeons of Castle Greyhawk than the 1988 module WG7 - Castle Greyhawk. The module features interior art by Thomas Baxa, Mark Nelson and David Simons. The adventure is designed for five to seven characters of levels 2 to 15.

Greyhawk Ruins takes place in a deep dungeon set in the ruins of Castle Greyhawk. The dungeon had 26 levels.

Reception
Lisa Stevens reviewed the module in the December/January 1991 issue of White Wolf. She rated it a 1 out of a possible 5, the lowest rating, stating "this is one of the worst adventure supplements I have ever seen and it even falls short as a dungeon crawl. I was extremely disappointed after the recent upward trend of TSR's products. Avoid this one at all cost". In his 1991 book Heroic Worlds, Lawrence Schick calls the adventure "a classic illogical "gilded hole" dungeon".
