Lake Point Tower

Lake Point Tower is a residential skyscraper located on a promontory of the Lake Michigan waterfront in Chicago, just north of the Chicago River at 505 North Lake Shore Drive. Completed in 1968, it is in the Streeterville neighborhood on the Near North Side. Located adjacent to Navy Pier, the building is the only skyscraper in the city east of Lake Shore Drive.

Its tall curved three wing 'Y' shape was an inspiration for the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai, United Arab Emirates by Chicago-born architect Adrian Smith.

Development
The architects for Lake Point Tower were John Heinrich and George Schipporeit, working under the firm name of Schipporeit and Heinrich; the two were students of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, one of the best known architects of the Bauhaus movement and International Style school, who taught at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. Lake Point Tower was completed in 1968, is approximately 645 ft tall, and was the tallest apartment building in the world at that time. The project developer was William F. Hartnett, Jr., chairman and founder of Hartnett-Shaw Development Company, which was responsible for more than 260 residential and commercial real estate developments in the United States from 1961–1983.

Because of its height and lakeside site, the skyscraper had to be designed to withstand high winds. At the center of the building is a triangular core, 59 feet wide, that contains nine elevators and three stairwells. This core holds all of the vertical weight of the building, allowing the perimeter columns on the facade to be much smaller.

Radiating from the core are three arms that form an asymmetrical Y-shaped floor plan. The original four-armed design was changed to a three-armed design (120° apart). The outer walls are curved to allow multiple distinct views from singular apartments.

Other features
Well known for its graceful curves and picturesque location, Lake Point Tower is the only major private structure on the east side of Lake Shore Drive. Its position between Lake Shore Drive and Navy Pier gives it unobstructed views in all directions that are protected by ordinances limiting construction on the city's waterfront.

Lake Point Tower was one of the first high-rise residential buildings in the world to feature all-electric appliances. It pioneered the concept of the "Park in the City," as the first residential complex in a major city to have its own two-and-one-half acre park—including a playground, pool, duck pond, and waterfalls — three stories above ground. There are shops and restaurants on the first two levels of the complex, under the park.

Film and television shot on location
Lake Point Tower has been host to many shoots including:
 * Raw Deal (1986)
 * Folks! (1991)
 * Straight Talk (1992) This film featured Dolly Parton and James Woods, and had Parton's character living in Lake Point Tower.

Hu Hanmin

Hu Hanmin (9 December 1879 – 12 May 1936) was a Chinese philosopher and politician who was one of the early conservative right-wing faction leaders in the Kuomintang (KMT) during revolutionary China.

Biography
Hu was of Hakka descent from Ji'an, Jiangxi. Trần Xuân Sinh claimed that Hu Hanmin could be the descendant of Hồ Hán Thương, the second monarch of the Hồ dynasty of Vietnam. His father had moved to Panyu, Guangdong, to take up an official post.

He qualified as a Juren at the age of 21. He studied in Japan from 1902 and joined the Tongmenghui (Chinese Revolutionary Alliance) in 1905 as editor of the newspaper Min Bao. From 1907 to 1910 he took part in several armed revolutions. Shortly after the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, he was appointed Governor of Guangdong and Chief Secretary of the Provisional Government. He took part in the Second Revolution of 1913 and, after its failure, followed Sun Yat-sen to Japan. There they founded the Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party). Hu lived in Guangdong from 1917 to 1921 and worked for Sun Yat-sen, first as Minister of Transport and later as Chief Adviser.

Hu Hanmin visited Kemalist Turkey and was greatly inspired by the revolutionary nationalist ideals of Kemalism. Hu hoped that Chiang would model his republic on Atatürk's, with limited military involvement in politics.

Hu was elected to the Central Executive Committee at the Kuomintang's first conference in January 1924. In September he acted as vice-generalissimo when Sun Yat-sen left Guangzhou for Shaoguan. Sun died in Beijing in March 1925, and Hu was one of the three most powerful figures in the Kuomintang. The other two were Wang Jingwei and Liao Zhongkai. Liao was assassinated in August that year, and Hu was suspected and arrested. After the Ninghan split in 1927, Hu supported Chiang Kai-shek and was head of the Legislative Yuan in Nanjing.

Despite agreeing to cooperate with Chiang's government, Hu opposed Chiang's domination of political power, and instead advocated for power to be exercised by the party. Hu also clashed with Chiang over Chiang's offer to give major governmental positions to warlord Zhang Xueliang in exchange for Zhang's loyalty, an offer which Hu denounced as a "dirty deal". Hu and Chiang's cooperation fell apart when Wang Jingwei, who had rebelled against Chiang's government, introduced a draft constitution in October 1930. In response to Wang, Chiang broke his previous agreement with Hu to hold off the promulgation of his own Provisional Constitution. Hu, fearing that a constitution would sideline the role of the disciples of Sun Yat-sen in implementing his teachings as the law of the land, and that Chiang would use the Constitution to legalize his monopoly on power, strongly criticized the plan.

Later, on 28 February 1931, Hu was placed under house arrest by Chiang because of disputes over the new Provisional Constitution. Internal party pressure forced Chiang to release him. Hu then became a powerful leader in South China, advocating three political principles: resistance to Japanese invasion, resistance to warlords, and resistance to the self-proclaimed leader Chiang Kai-shek. The anti-Chiang factions in the KMT gathered in Guangzhou to set up a rival government. They demanded Chiang's resignation from his dual post of president and premier. Civil war was averted by the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. Hu continued to rule southern China, the heartland of the KMT, with the help of Chen Jitang and the New Guangxi clique. There he tried to create a model government, free of corruption and cronyism, to discredit Chiang's Nanjing regime.

Although Hu nominally led the "Southwest Political Affairs Council" set up by Guangdong and Guangxi warlord cliques and lent his image to legitimize this warlord regime, the Guangdong warlord Chen Jitang remained suspicious of his influence and refused to allow him to return to Guangzhou. Hu resided instead in Hong Kong, under the warlords' effective control and receiving a stipend from Chen.

Hu was an advocate of action against Japanese aggression, criticising Chiang Kai-shek for "his spineless failure to adopt a strong policy towards the foreign power which has torn and ravaged our homeland!"

Hu visited Europe and ceased his political attack on Chiang Kai-shek in June 1935. At the first session of the Kuomintang's Fifth Conference in December 1935, he was elected Chairman of the Central Committee for Common Affairs in absentia. Hu returned to China in January 1936 and lived in Guangzhou until he died of a cerebral haemorrhage on 12 May 1936.

His death sparked a crisis. Chiang wanted to replace Hu with loyalists in southern China and end the autonomy the south had enjoyed under Hu. In response, Chen and the New Guangxi clique conspired to remove Chiang from office. In the so-called "Liangguang Incident", Chen was forced to resign as governor of Guangdong after Chiang bribed many of Chen's officers to defect and the conspiracy collapsed.

Hu's political philosophy was that one's individual rights were a function of one's membership of a nation.

Koren Zailckas

Koren Zailckas (born 1980) is an American writer and memoirist. Her debut, Smashed: Story of a Drunken Girlhood, was released in 2005 by Viking Penguin and became a New York Times bestseller. Zailckas attended Nashoba Regional High School in Bolton, Massachusetts, Syracuse University and Bennington College. She is a 2014 recipient of the Alex Awards.

Personal life
Zailckas grew up in a middle-class family in the northeast. As a coping mechanism, she learned to "hide behind an open book." As she grew older, she got into the habit of sneaking out of elementary school classes to go and read in the bathroom or the school library. She began writing poetry at age ten, and continued throughout college. In a senior-year poetry writing workshop at Syracuse University she met mentor Mary Karr, who would later influence her memoirs.

Memoir Vs. Fiction
As a writer, Zailckas says her writing is informed by memoirists Mary Karr, Nick Flynn, Tobias Wolff, as well as novelists T.C. Boyle, Jeffrey Eugenides, A.M. Homes, Richard Ford, Haruki Murakami, Amy Hempel, George Saunders and Lorrie Moore. She has also admitted she is heavily influenced by music and song lyrics. Zailckas has been quoted as saying, "If you're a writer, there's a lot of inspiration to be found in lyrics. That's the first thing I do before I get to work in the morning: have a cup of coffee and put on a record."

Zailckas downplays the catharsis of memoir-writing, saying, "All said and done, I'm reluctant to say writing Smashed was cathartic. For one, I think we assign that term to women far more often than we assign it to men. All too often, men's works are deemed 'literature' and women's are dismissed as 'therapy.' On a personal level, sure, it's easier to discuss old indignities. Talking, for instance, about a horrifying blackout doesn't rattle me the way it used to. I'm not convinced I've come to term with old aches as much as I've had to numb myself to them for the sake of spreading the book's message. Ultimately, I think a memoir leaves its author with more terror than comfort, more questions than closure. More than anything, I feel a growing breach between 'me' and the 'me' on the page. It's an occupational hazard, I guess. I feel sort of exiled from my own experiences."

Early in her career, Zailckas said she found writing fiction more challenging than writing narrative non-fiction. "For me, fiction-writing is about escapism. Whereas memoir-writing is about facing cold, harsh realities. I'll let you guess which one is more of a party... Naw, in reality, there are challenges to both. In memoir, there's the burden of truth. And in fiction, there's the burden of fantasy. Me, I find fiction harder. There are so many possibilities in fiction. The story can go absolutely anywhere. And that overwhelms me. That strikes fear in my timid, little heart. I like being restricted to the cage of fact, the coop of reality. Without it, I feel a certain agoraphobia."

Regardless, she switched to fiction writing in later life when she was troubled by the way some people take memoir as liturgy and the publishing industry often turns memoirists as self-help gurus. She is quoted as saying she has no desire to tell people how to live their "best lives." She also feels she can be more truthful in fiction and the medium allows her to provide more privacy for her children. She authored the novels "Mother, Mother," which won an Alex Award, and "The Drama Teacher.”

Smashed
Smashed chronicles Zailckas' decade-long struggle with alcohol abuse, beginning at fourteen, in an effort to explain the binge drinking phenomenon that plagues America's youth.

Around the time she quit drinking, Zailckas became preoccupied with an old memory, which involved a night that she had her stomach pumped when she was 16. According to Zailckas, she had not thought about that night in a number of years, but she suddenly could not get it out of her head. Eventually, she sat down and wrote about it. The piece later became a chapter in her book.

Around the same time, Zailckas was hearing a lot in the news about "girls of her generation" and how they were drinking younger and more than all the generations of women who'd gone before them. The Harvard School of Public Health reported, between 1993 and 2001, there was a threefold increase in the number of women who reported being drunk on ten or more occasions in the previous month. Time magazine ran a cover story about female binge drinkers. Zailckas did not agree with what the psychologists and the sociologists, the clinicians and the statisticians had to say, which was: "girls today are drinking more because they’re just so damn liberated, because they’re bursting with confidence and girl power, because they believe they can match boys everywhere, including the bar." In her own experience, the author says, she and her female friends drank largely because it was an expression of their unhappiness and lack of confidence. It occurred to Zailckas, then 23, that she could offer a younger perspective.

Smashed was Zailckas' first attempt at writing prose. Before that, she had been a poet exclusively. Her poetic style was noted by New York Times critic Dwight Garner who called it "so elegiac that [Zailckas] comes off as the Norah Jones of her plastered generation."

Alcoholism
Zailckas has been challenged by some readers who want to dispute her assertion that she is "not an alcoholic." In interviews, Zailckas maintains: "I’ve talked to a lot of addiction counselors who say alcoholism is made up of two things: abuse and addiction. God knows I had that abuse down pat. But I don’t know that I necessarily felt (or feel) that addiction. And so no, I don’t identify myself as an alcoholic. That identity didn’t feel true to me, so I didn’t write it. I also think the brand 'alcoholic' prevents a lot of people, especially young people, from seeking help or even reevaluating their relationship with alcohol. In my mind, the whole point of Smashed is to say, you don’t have to be a quote-unquote alcoholic in order to examine the underlying reasons why you're drinking."

PTSD
Since writing Smashed, Zailckas has said she did not realize that she had spent decades living with complex PTSD, brought about by her abusive childhood. She now identifies PTSD as one of the driving forces behind her college drinking. "I was drinking to dissociate: unwittingly or unconsciously putting myself in situations exactly like the one with my alcoholic father."

Fury
In February 2010, Zailckas announced a sequel to Smashed on her Facebook page. Her follow-up, Fury: a Memoir was published on September 7, 2010. It was published by Viking Penguin, who described it as relating her exploration with her feelings of anger, the effects of that anger and the psychological aspects of repression and the turmoil of her own life which caused it. The book combines psychological research with her personal story.

Mother, Mother
In 2014, Zailckas published her first debut novel Mother, Mother. The book was heavily inspired by her experience growing up with a narcissistic mother. The book won an American Library Association ALEX Award.

The Drama Teacher
In 2018, Zailckas published The Drama Teacher, which tells the story of a female grifter and identity thief. Literary critics think it is also Zailckas' way of exposing her father as the truly abusive person in her damaging childhood. The book was optioned by 20th Century Fox and later by Amy Sherman-Palladino, who plans to turn it into a limited series.

Trivia
George Saunders is said to be a big influence on Zailckas writing, inspiring her work and visa versa. Zailckas has a tattoo of a portion of a letter Saunders wrote to her son. She also named her Australian Shepherd "Saunders."

Zailckas' active community of upstate writers includes Owen King, Kelly Braffet and Rebecca Godfrey.

Zailckas is a well-documented animal lover and owner of prolific rabbits. Owen King, Kelly Braffet and Mary Stuart Masterson have all adopted baby bunnies from her.

Appearances
As a journalist, she has contributed to The Guardian, U.S. News & World Report, Glamour, Jane, and Seventeen magazine. She has promoted her book on 20/20, Good Morning America, CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, Anderson Cooper 360, The View, Topic A with Tina Brown and The Tyra Banks Show, among others.

Talk:Kocoum

I still don't get why Pocahontas' father would want his daughter to marry Kocoum. --User:Angie Y.

Answer to Angie (above): A more appropriate place to discuss your impression about the fictionalized story of Pocohontas and Kocoum would be on the page about the film, at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocahontas_(1995_film) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.212.60.134 (talk) 08:34, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

It is an injustice -- and shoddy information distribution -- to have searches for Kocoum result in this redirect page to the 1995 animated and historically inaccurate film. Kocoum should not be treated FIRST like a FICTIONAL character. There should be a brief page explaining who he was (IE, member of the Powhatan tribe encountered by the Jamestown settlers, married to Pocohontas for a brief period prior to her marriage with John Rolfe, etc.). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.212.60.134 (talk) 08:38, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Tord Grip

Tord Erland Grip (born 13 January 1938) is a Swedish former football coach and player. He has worked with several national teams, including England, Sweden, Indonesia, Mexico, the Ivory Coast and Kosovo.

Playing career
Grip began his football career as a teenager playing for Ytterhogdals, where he, like most footballers of his generation also played bandy, later playing part-time in the top flight for Degerfors and AIK while studying for his degree in Physical Education. He played for a reserve side of Aston Villa during a three-month work placement in Birmingham in 1961, although he only appeared in local Intermediate League matches.

Coaching career
Grip became a player/manager at Karlskoga in 1969, and has since managed several other clubs in Sweden, Italy and Switzerland.

He has also managed the Norway national team, the Swedish women's senior team and men's under-16 team, and has had two spells as assistant manager of the Sweden men's team. In 1998, after his second period as assistant manager of the national team, Grip took up a coaching position at the Italian club Lazio as the assistant of fellow Swedish manager Sven-Göran Eriksson.

In January 2001, when Eriksson was appointed England manager, he brought Grip with him from Lazio as assistant manager. Grip remained in the post until the end of the UEFA Euro 2004 and with England until the end of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. In November 2006, he was appointed special adviser to Swedish club Djurgårdens.

On 6 July 2007, Grip became part of the backroom staff of Manchester City when Sven-Göran Eriksson took over as manager. This reunited Grip with Eriksson after their reign together in the England setup. In June 2008, Grip was again reunited with Eriksson, after accepting an offer to become assistant manager of Mexico.

In April 2009, after Eriksson was fired by the Mexican Football Federation due to a bad string of results, Eriksson and Grip took up the positions of Director of Football and General Advisor to the Director of Football respectively at Notts County. Grip is currently a freelance senior squad scout for the Premier League side Southampton.

In February 2014, he was appointed as assistant manager of Kosovo.

Style of management
Grip's tactics were inspired by those of English managers Bob Houghton and Roy Hodgson, who pioneered the 4–4–2 formation in Swedish football, and a zonal marking system, as well as heavy pressing. His style in turn influenced that of Sven-Göran Eriksson.

Causey Arch

The Causey Arch is a bridge near Stanley in County Durham, northern England. It is the oldest surviving single-arch railway bridge in the world, and a key element of the industrial heritage of England. It carried an early wagonway (horse-drawn carts on wooden rails) to transport coal. The line was later diverted, and no longer uses the bridge.

History
It was built in 1725–26 by stonemason Ralph Wood, funded by a conglomeration of coal-owners known as the "Grand Allies" (founded by Colonel Liddell, the Hon. Charles Montague and George Bowes the owner of Gibside Estate on which the bridge is situated) at a cost of £12,000. Two tracks crossed the Arch: one (the "main way") to take coal to the River Tyne, and the other (the "bye way") for returning the empty wagons. Over 900 horse-drawn wagons crossed the arch each day using the Tanfield Railway.

When the bridge was completed in 1726, it was the longest single-span bridge in the country with an arch span of 31 m, a record it held for thirty years until 1756 when the Old Bridge was built in Pontypridd, Wales. After he designed the bridge, Ralph Wood was so afraid that his arch would collapse that he committed suicide in 1727, but the bridge still stands today. An inscription on a sundial at the site reads "Ra. Wood, mason, 1727".

Use of the arch declined when Tanfield Colliery was destroyed by fire in 1739.

Present status
The Arch has been Grade I listed since 1950. It was restored and reinforced in the 1980s. There are a series of scenic public paths around the area and the Causey Burn which runs underneath it. The quarry near the bridge is a popular spot for local rock climbers.

Causey Burn itself flows into Beamish Burn which then flows into the River Team eventually discharging into the River Tyne.

Economy of Bokaro
Monnet Ispat and Arcellor Mittal projects are not in Bokaro. The project got shifted so some changes need to be done in article. DalitRaj (talk) 17:33, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Agree : Neither Monnet nor Arecelor finally built projects in Bokaro. Monnet went to Raigarh in Chattisgarh. Arcelor did not build anything in India. Removing both from the Page. --Sandyiit (talk) 19:53, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

860–880 Lake Shore Drive Apartments

860–880 Lake Shore Drive is a twin pair of glass-and-steel apartment towers on N. Lake Shore Drive along Lake Michigan in the Streeterville neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Construction began in 1949 and the project was completed in 1951. The towers were added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 28, 1980, and were designated as Chicago Landmarks on June 10, 1996. The 26-floor, 254-ft (82 m) tall towers were designed by the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and dubbed the "Glass House" apartments. Construction was by the Chicago real estate developer Herbert Greenwald, and the Sumner S. Sollitt Company. The design principles were copied extensively and are now considered characteristic of the modern International Style as well as essential for the development of modern high-tech architecture.

The towers were not entirely admired at the time they were built, yet they went on to be the prototype for steel and glass skyscrapers worldwide. Initially, it was difficult to acquire financing for the project, turned down by lenders like Baird & Warner, who considered the design scheme to be too extreme. 860–880 Lake Shore Drive Apartments embody a Modernistic tone with their verticality, grids of steel and glass curtain walls (a hallmark of Mies' skyscrapers), and complete lack of ornamentation. Tenants had to accept the neutral gray curtains that were uniform throughout the buildings; no other curtains or blinds were permitted lest they mar the external appearance. Since Mies was a master of minimalist composition, his principle was "less is more" as it is demonstrated in his self-proclaimed "skin and bones" architecture.

The structural engineer for the project was Georgia Louise Harris Brown, who was the first African American to receive an architecture degree from the University of Kansas, and the second African American woman to receive an architecture license in the United States.

Controversy
This building, like many of his Chicago high-rise structures, caused controversy in the pure minimalist community due to its mullions. Mies is hailed as the father of "less is more"; however, 860–880 Lake Shore Drive is covered in non-functional I-beam mullions. Mies explains how the mullions do not violate his less is more philosophy in a 1960 interview: "To me structure is something like logic. It is the best way to do things and express them". The mullions on his buildings reflect the inner structure and therefore give truth to the aesthetic of the building. The idea of truth in architecture aligns with the aesthetic and principles of the international style as taught at the Bauhaus.

Although the 860–880 buildings were the first high-rises to look like they were sheathed with a curtain wall, they in fact were not, because the windows were attached to the structure, not to the decorative-only mullions. It was van der Rohe's 900-910 North Lake Shore (aka Esplanade Apartments) just to the north that were the first high-rises to actually have an uninterrupted glass/aluminum curtain wall, although not the first with a curtain wall.

Renovations
Krueck and Sexton Architects of Chicago were commissioned to renovate the historical towers. Teaming up with them were the preservation architects, Harboe Architects and the forensic and structural analysis firm, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. They were directed to fix prior renovations which took away from the historical accuracy of the towers. Architects were assigned to restore the distorted lighting scheme with original translucent glass, replace the deteriorating travertine plaza, which connects the two towers, and exchange for stones with more historical precision.

Recognition

 * The buildings were finished in 1951 and were featured in a 1957 article in Life Magazine on Mies.
 * In 1996 they became the first buildings designed by Mies van der Rohe to receive Chicago Landmark Status.
 * The glass towers have been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980.
 * In June 2005, the United States Postal Service included the towers in the commemorative stamp program, Masterworks of Modern Architecture, wherein they were listed as one of the "12 outstanding examples of modern buildings".
 * In celebration of the 2018 Illinois Bicentennial, 860–880 Lake Shore Drive was selected as one of the Illinois 200 Great Places by the American Institute of Architects Illinois component (AIA Illinois).

Figures and statistics

 * The twin towers are 26 stories high.
 * The buildings are 46 feet apart.
 * The steel skeletal frames rest on a 21-foot grid and are uniform in their design.
 * The building was originally designed for 860 to contain 90 three bedroom apartments and 880 to hold 158 one bedroom apartments. Many of the units have been combined to enlarge living spaces.

Zoned schools
Residents are zoned to Chicago Public Schools. Residents are zoned to Ogden School and Wells Community Academy High School.

Witold Łokuciewski

Witold Łokuciewski (2 February 1917 – 17 April 1990) was a Polish fighter ace of the Polish Air Force in World War II who was given the nickname Tolo.

Early life and time in the Polish Air Force
He was born to Antoni Łokuciewski in Novocherkassk in the Russian Empire. His family moved to Vilnius in 1918. He then graduated from high school Jan Śniadecki in Oszmiana and gained his high school diploma in 1935. He then began studying at the Polish Air Force University in Dęblin. After his graduation in 1938 he was assigned to the 112 Fighter Squadron of the 1st Air Regiment located in Warsaw, Poland. As a part of the unit he fought in the defense of Warsaw in 1939 using a PZL P.11 plane. After the invasion of Poland by the USSR he along with the 112 Fighter Squadron escaped into Romania.

Time in the French Air Force
During the Battle of France Witold Łokuciewski fought in France starting from 17 May 1940 in a MS 406 fighter aircraft for the Polish air force established in France. He continued to fight for the French people until a radio call from the French Prime Minister, Philippe Pétain called for a ceasefire on 18 June when his Squadron ended flights. Later being evacuated to Great Britain on 21 June and being given the service number P1492.

Time in the Royal Air Force
On 2 August 1940, he became a pilot in 303 Squadron a leading Polish squadron fighting for the Allies as part of the Royal Air Force. He began flying missions shortly after. On 20 November 1941, he was given command of the 303 Squadron. Łokuciewski saw considerable action through 1940–41. His pseudonym was "Tolo".

During a mission which took place over German occupied France on 13 March 1942, his plane became damaged and he was forced to make an emergency landing. After landing Witold was taken prisoner by the Germans and was sent to Stalag Luft III located near Sagan, now Żagań. During his time in the camp, he aided others in The Great Escape in 1944.

In May 1945 at the end of the war, he was liberated and taken back to England. He was reassigned to 303 Squadron on 29 November 1945. He became commanding officer of No. 303 Squadron in February 1946, until the unit disbanded in December. He was credited with 9 (and 1 shared) kills, and 4 probable kills which enabled him to get the "fighter ace" title. The title derives from World War I and was given in the French air force to pilots who shot down five enemy planes. During World War II, it got adopted by the American air force and unofficially - by the Polish air force in the West.

Return to Poland and later life
When he returned to Poland in 1947 he was imprisoned by the Communist authorities, and on release worked as a taxi driver in Warsaw. He joined the Polish Air Force in 1956 after being accepted into military aviation, rising to a senior rank. In 1969–71 he was the Polish military attaché in London. He retired in 1974 and in 1985 was appointed to the Presidium in the Society of Fighters for Freedom and Democracy. Later he became a member in the Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martydom Sites from 1988 to 1990

On 11 November 1988 he became a member of the Honorary Committee of Commemoration during the 70th anniversary of National Independence Day of Poland. In 1989 he stood as a parliamentary candidate to the Sejm (lower house) in the first post-communist elections. And was given an entry in the honorary book of soldiers by Minister of National Defense, General Florian Siwicki. In 1989, nearly half a century after the war, when asked what does a fighter feel like while attacking an enemy, Witold replied: "if it's a rather large attack - firstly fear while going through a fire avalanche, then determination and lastly, if enemy gets shot and is coming down in a panache of smoke and fire - great massive satisfaction".

He died on 17 April 1990 and was buried at the Powązki Military Cemetery in Powązki, Warsaw.

List of kills
Witold Łokuciewski was put on Bajan's list in the 20th position with 8 reliable plane kills and 4 probable kills. These are as follows:

Talk:Castlethorpe

I edited, then reverted, the opening para of this article. This is what I believe it should say: ''Castlethorpe is a village with a population of around 1000 in the Borough of Milton Keynes, though not in Milton Keynes itself. It was formerly in the old county of Buckinghamshire, England. The village lies about 3 miles north of Stony Stratford, 4 miles west of Newport Pagnell and 7 miles north of Milton Keynes city centre. It is separated from the county of Northamptonshire by a small stream.''

In doing that, I believed that this is in accordance with Naming conventions (places), but as Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (places) shows, this is in dispute and I accept that it is not helpful to add fuel to the fire. So I've reverted pending agreement. --Concrete Cowboy 16:57, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * The phrase "It was formerly in the old county of Buckinghamshire" is prescribed nowhere in the naming conventions. It can be "within the traditional borders of Buckinghamshire" as that is present tense. Past tense references to traditional counties are somewhat contradictory. Owain 11:36, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * It was formerly in the Kingdom of Mercia too. These historic borders are interesting subjects (especially for geneology and other historic study) and worthy of Wiki articles, but have no current practical application.  The past tense highly appropriate. Incidentally, the phrase "old county" was another editor's.  --Concrete Cowboy 20:00, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Notwithstanding being in the traditional county of the same name, Castleford (in standard 80.255glish, otherwise known as 'Castlethorpe' in English) is also in the ceremonial county of Buckinghamshire. Aren't we, according to the current policy, meant to use ceremonial counties in favour of UAAs? 80.255 20:23, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Technically (according to the enquiries I made earlier this month after a discussion with yourself) it is still in Bucks, just administered differently to the rest of the county. Incidentally, I don't know what place you're talking about, the rest of us are talking about Castlethorpe, not Castleford.  ;-p -- Francs2000 | Talk [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] 21:01, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * What are refering to here? Traditional counties or ceremonial counties? As far as lord lieutencies go, legislation usually says things like "X shall be deemed to form part of Y for the purposes of ABC". That doesn't mean that it's "in Bucks" or "not in Bucks" as if there were some single, stand-alone definition of 'Buckinghamdshire'; it means that, as I've always said, there is more than one entity called 'Buckinghamshire' co-existing simultaneously with others. Legislation then picks, chooses or defines anew whichever it wants for any particular purpose.
 * None the less, I'd be interested to hear about your enquiries, and what they did, or did not, estblish, from your own standpoint. 80.255 21:14, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well I did respond to you on the same discussion page but I don't think in all the melee of other discussions there that you saw my response. Feel free to continue it elsewhere on a discussion page of your choice if you wish (my talk page for instance). -- Francs2000 | Talk [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] 00:18, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Though I still take issue with there is more than one entity called 'Buckinghamshire' co-existing simultaneously with others. because, ultimately, there is only one county called Buckinghamshire in the world and there always has been, and I can never agree to the point of view that it's less confusing to refer to different aspects of that as different counties. But this isn't the forum for this discussion, I just wanted to pick up on your specific wording at source. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] 00:49, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Only until the 10th century, to my recollection, at which point it either became merged with Wessex or Wessex took over. But at the time that the county boundary was first laid, Castlethorpe was in Wessex.  Just thought I'd add that... -- Francs2000 | Talk [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] 20:18, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Mark Shivas

Mark Shivas (24 April 1938 – 11 October 2008) was a British television producer, film producer and executive.

Shivas was born in Banstead in Surrey. His father was an English teacher; his mother was a librarian. He attended Whitgift School in Croydon and read law at Merton College, Oxford. Shivas wrote for the student magazine Oxford Opinions. After abandoning a legal career, he co-founded the magazine Movie (1961–64) which used the French publication Cahiers du Cinéma as its model,. He was assistant editor (1962–64), and also contributed interviews and articles to The New York Times.

He began his television career at Granada Television in 1964 as an assistant to the head of the story department and later worked on the company's Cinema series as a producer and presenter. In 1969 he joined the BBC's drama department, and became one of the corporation's most successful and prolific producers. The costume drama The Six Wives of Henry VIII (1970), was nominated for three Emmy Awards in 1972. Dennis Potter's Casanova (1971) was another success.

Other productions he oversaw included the anthology series Black and Blue (1973), which included the play Secrets by Michael Palin and Terry Jones. Critics disliked Shivas's production of The Borgias (1981) for the BBC; it suffered in comparison with the contemporary Brideshead Revisited on ITV.

Shivas was head of drama at the BBC from 1988 to 1993; he then moved to run BBC Films, which he had founded in 1990 as part of the Drama Department, and was executive producer of twenty films. In later years, he returned to producing as a freelancer. Some of his most noted later productions included the second series of Alan Bennett's Talking Heads monologues in 1998 and the 2003 espionage drama Cambridge Spies.

Death
Shivas died from lung cancer on 11 October 2008, aged 70.

In Wikipedia, "vanity" means that the article was created by its subject, a friend of the subject, or a member of the subject (in case of organisations) but no one else knows or cares about it. It does not necessarily mean that the article praises the subject. In fact, an article insulting its subject might still be vanity. I propose some sort of explanatory page about the term vanity. — J I P | Talk 07:29, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Devonport High School for Girls

Devonport High School for Girls is a selective girls' state grammar school with academy status (ages 11–18) in Plymouth, England.

History
In September 1908 Devonport High School for Girls (DHSG) was recognised as a girls' secondary school. It was originally located at Paradise Road, Stoke in Plymouth, and known as Devonport Municipal Secondary School for Girls. It was established approximately 15 years after its sibling Devonport High School for Boys. The school moved to its current location which overlooks the Plymouth Argyle football ground, Home Park, on 10 September 1937. The school was divided into four houses- St.Joan, St.Margaret, St.Monica and St.Ursula. They were then changed to Falcon, Kestrel, Hawk and Eagle. Today the house system still exists but are now named Flete, Kitley, Hartland and Edgecumbe after local houses.

During World War II the girls were evacuated to Tiverton Grammar School, whilst the DHSG building was initially used by the fire service who were drafted in from across England to fight fires created by the aerial bombardment. It was also used as a machine shop for the dockyard during this period. The building suffered bomb damage during the war. The tennis and netball courts added in 1952 can now be seen at a lower level than the playing field due to a crater left by an exploded mine.

Honour boards which hang at the back of the main hall were paid for by the money each of the pupils received to mark the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. In 1971 DHSG started to accept girls from all areas of Plymouth and by the 1980s girls were coming from outside Plymouth. In 2005 DHSG acquired Specialist Language College status bringing with it funding to provide better facilities, not just in building updating and expansion but in technology also. The new Learning Centre constructed in 2005 housed a modern library, new language laboratories and two fully equipped computer rooms.

Academics
DHSG is a state school, catering for students at the top end of the academic ability range. These students are selected by means of the 11-plus entrance exam, which tests potential students' English comprehension and Mathematical skills.

DHSG is a specialist language school and in 2019 acquired Academy Trust Status.

As of September 2023 the school increased its PAN to 158 in year 7. The school has maintained its Specialist Language College status, and introduced Chinese into the curriculum in September 2006. On entering the school students choose to study either French or Spanish. In Year 8 all students can choose a second language to study which includes Chinese, French, German, Latin or Spanish. DHSG has achieved the full International School Award from the British Council in 2005,2009,2012 and 2015.

In the summer of 2013 the school achieved 100% five GCSE grades A*-C including English and Mathematics and the highest EBacc measure in the local area. The school has qualified for an Educational Outcomes Award by being in the top 20 per cent of schools nationally for progress made by pupils between their key stage 2 results and their GCSE results.

The school has continued to maintain high academic standards having achieved the highest Progress 8 and Attainment 8 score in the Greater Plymouth Area in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Work for bored people
User:Skittle/Picture index of flora of the British Isles User:Skittle/Picture index of fauna of the British Isles

Bored? Looking for something productive to do? Tired of vandal watching? Why not help build up picture indexes of plant and animal life in the British Isles? If this is successful, we can move on to other areas. I see these as being useful resources for people who want to look something up, but don't necessarily know the name, and might not know a lot of taxonomy.

How Handy!

List of chinese films
HI please can you put the CHinese films in the tables in the format of List of Hong Kong films. I am going to work on the Hong Kong list now. THanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦  "I've been expecting you" 16:12, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Excellent progess. THankyou ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦  "I've been expecting you" 17:55, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I also created this template as with standard of other countries -it is for all Chinese cinema articles.

Hope you like it ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦  "I've been expecting you" 17:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Superb work on the Chinese film so far Well done! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 20:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Just to let you know the entire list of CHinese film A-Z is located at WikiProject Films/List of films without article/List of missing Chinese Films. Gving a hand I plan to add all these films to the List of Chinese films. I would love to see full complete lists but it will require some work - eevneutally this will be done by country. Feel free to add in some titles. THanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦  "Expecting you" "SPECTRE" 15:27, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Hong Kong films
Please can you help add the films and details in Category:Hong Kong films to the lists. It is ridiculous that the lists didn't even have Way of the Dragon or Enter the Dragon. Why has nobody helped them? I've begun gradually adding titles from Z working backwards. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you?" Contribs 11:00, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Blood Brothers (2007 film)
Hi. You are off to such a great start on the article Blood Brothers (2007 film) that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Also, don't forget to keep checking back at Did you know suggestions for comments regarding your nomination. Again, great job on the article. -- JayHenry 21:30, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Little Red Flowers poster.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Little Red Flowers poster.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:27, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Entertainment group
Hello we are discussing the creation of a new Chinese entertainment group over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Modern Chinese music. They were thinking of overlapping or even replacing the Chinese cinema task force. Please swing by for some comments. Benjwong (talk) 00:19, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Quick request
In the future, if you could use instead of , I'd be very grateful. Although the latter one automatically redirects to the former, it has been deprecated, and we're trying to phase out its usage as task force tagging slowly occurs over the next year or so. Knowing that it's not being added to new articles would put me greatly at ease. Thanks! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 04:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Amazon.com
You said: "(Clean-up with templates and categories; unnecessary to reference plot description; amazon.com not an appropriate reference)"

On the contrary, Amazon.com is more than appropriate to show that the film in question is being given a wide distribution. The intent is not to source the plot (we know what the plot's unstated source it) - the point is to show that the work is notable. WhisperToMe (talk) 08:33, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 20:17, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Letter with Feather.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Letter with Feather.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Proposed deletion of Sparkling Red Star (disambiguation)

The article Sparkling Red Star (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: "Disambiguation page not needed per WP:TWODABS. One of the articles listed was also proposed for deletion."

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

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

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

helpme I am needing to know if there is a place to voice a request for image editing (Aside from a talk page as its being verry biased)

November 2018
Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to 50 Years: Dont Stop. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!  Zack mann  (Talk to me/What I been doing) 00:13, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Hey Zack! I will make these changes when I get off from work. I shouldn't have started on my lunch break! Thank you for the heads up!!

File:Fleetwood Mac 50 Years Dont Stop.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Disambiguation link notification for November 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 50 Years – Don't Stop, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Shake Your Moneymaker ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/50_Years_%E2%80%93_Don%27t_Stop check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/50_Years_%E2%80%93_Don%27t_Stop?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Girl in cake
I noticed that you are one of the leading editors at Cake. Do you know if we have an article or content in a section of another article for the type of giant cake from which a model pops out for festive occasions (e. g. this video)? I understand that these are sometimes made largely or entirely of cardboard and frosting, but sometimes there is a real cake outside of the hidden compartment. I have tried surprise cake, pop cake and popup cake.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:55, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Assistance on List of Christmas carols article
Hello User:Skittle. I am writing to you, and to others, as I noticed you were one leading editors working on the List of Christmas Carols article in the past. The article has since gone into disrepair and I and others have been trying to bring it back to the status you had achieved, however, there is one particular editor who has continually reverted any edits made and who is currently serving out a block due to this type of behaviour on another article and who insists popular Christmas songs such as The Christmas Song, Silver Bells and others are Christmas Carols (you will get a better understanding by observing the talk page in recent years), which contradicts the consensus you and others reached on defining which songs would be present on the list. I would be grateful if you could collaborate and return the article to its pristine state that you and others had achieved in the past. Also, I would be grateful if you could give Christmas carol and Carol a look over too. I would like to see the articles achieve Featured articles status in advance of the holiday. Thank you 37.18.134.184 (talk) 16:28, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
