Talk:Kunicon

Controversy
Removed: Further, some disputes over the attendance numbers of the first Kunicon in Miami, Florida were made by the owner of an established site that reviews and photographs conventions in the area. This attendance controversy is discussed on thier site at Rising Sun. There is also a small LiveJournal community dedicated to boycotting Kunicon, formed by an ex-employee. A derisive name, UsoCon, is being applied to it in these circles. "Uso" is a Japanese term for "liar."

The above is my edited version of the original content. I had made an attempt to clean this clean this up to make it more NPOV while researching the statements made, but since I now find them to be centered around personal grievances of a few individuals, and their band of followers (not to say that there are not other disgruntled attendees, but they are in the minority, by far) This doesn't seem like it really belongs on an encyclopedic page. Since nobody is monitoring this page anyway, I've taken it upon myself to try and fix it. I'm no writer, I did what I could. --68.209.108.64 11:12, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

To the original author of the [ version before my edits], I get the impression you are seeking not to present facts, but to slant the facts in a particular direction. If you would like to discuss what facts warrant including in this article and how best to present them, I recommend that you present your suggestions here on the talk page. --68.209.108.64 11:12, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Re: comment: Past and future Kunicon conventions - The site is offline, the rest is just conjecture. It is not conjecture. Manny has admitted the forums were frozen after Kunicon, Miami 2004 and the blame was laid on the previous sysadmin in the Kunicon forums (which I have archived offline). Furthermore, the blame on the current systems admin (though less direct) was stated on Manny's livejournal. It's not conjecture if the information comes straight from the party in question. -- Nijyo 9/21/2005 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nijyo (talk • contribs) 03:00, September 23, 2005 (UTC)

Expansion and re-insertion
This article is not intended to spin Kunicon to the desires of the staff who plan and run it, nor the attendees disappointed by it. Rather, it is intended to be (as is Wikipedia in general) a verbose accounting of data and events around the topic. Kunicon has generated a fair amount of controversy, so to remove links that give accounting of this ongoing subject is disingenuous, to say the least. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nijyo (talk • contribs) 08:19, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

Relevance
This is what a wiki page for an anime convention should look like Anime Boston

Wikipedia pages are a place for facts, not for your differences with the con or it's staff to be announced. There is no evidence to back either your claims nor the con's claims. This is all hearsay without documentation, and it is therefore non-encyclopedic. This is not what a wiki article is supposed to be, until you can learn to present unbiased facts in an encyclopeidia format you should refrain from contributing. (and no, I am NOT manny)

 * Actually it's an Encyclopedia, but yes, otherwise that's right. — J I P | Talk 06:05, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is full of entries that make references to speculation. None of the claims in this article are even remotely intended to be documented facts, and are instead there to bring light to one of the overwhelming aspects of Kunicon, especially its internet presence- mainly, the controversy surrounding it. If Wikipedia is only to be a place of verified facts with documentation, please explain how the entries for Jesus Christ and Magic are so long. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.107.221.252 (talk) 09:13, September 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Information derives its authenticity from the trustworthiness of its sources. Opinion, impersonating as fact, only serves to dilute the authority of a reference.--68.209.108.64 18:19, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
 * There was no "opinion impersonating fact" on this article. There was a list of events reported by attendees of the convention, which were presented as such. Eyewitness accounts are not automatically opinion. As the writer of the original article, I can say I have no opinion of Kunicon except the opinion that it generates a lion's share of controversy, which I thought was prudent to discuss on the Wiki, since it was an outstanding feature of the convention, and what is the purpose of an encyclopedia other than to report the outstanding? There was no opinion in this piece, just eyewitness reports. Would you be happier if there were links to each eyewitness report, or are you still going to insist that everything that doesn't strike your fancy is automatically invalid? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.107.252.186 (talk) 23:47, September 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * I deliberately attempted to reflect the controversy around Kunicon in my expansions and elaborations. As such, I've made liberal use of phrases such as "it seems to be" and "some say that", to reflect such.  But statements about disputes in attendance numbers and evidence of astroturfing actually reflect reality, and as such are not biased, even if they may be perceived to reflect poorly on Kunicon or members of its staff. If Anime Boston were as controversial as Kunicon, no doubt there would be reference to such in the article on it.  -- Nijyo (p.s. it's "relevance" not "relavance"; I've taken the liberty of correcting) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.190.48.27 (talk) 01:29, September 23, 2005 (UTC)

UsoCon
The "UsoCon" joke predates Otakucon, and got attached the project by staffers within it. "UsoCon" started as a joke at our local anime club about this con we'd lie about saying we had been to so we could feel out people at cons who'd be making stuff up and didn't know anything. Hajime Yadate was usually a guest at UsoCon. There was a Otakucon staffer (as this was well before any of the name change stuff) who was in that group, we'll call him "Crow". I'm pretty sure Crow was responsible for the UsoCon moniker spreading. I had gotten involved with d20 because they wanted me to make content for them as a promotion for Otakucon. Only it wasn't supposed to be recognized as a group that was owned, affiliated, or associated with d20 and Otakucon. Even though it was named virtually the same thing, they figured fans wouldn't notice, and didn't seem to get our concerns that people would really hate us if they found this out. They also thought Otakon wouldn't be a concern, either. The deal got increasingly dodgy so we ended up just walking away once we were offered contracts that would have prevented us from attending non-d20 conventions. Not guesting, running, or that stuff, but ATTENDING non-d20 conventions was covered under the no-compete they wanted. So we left with very little faith that the cons would even start, much less become the national chain they were envisioned to be. So Crow stayed on board with d20 through the first actual con, at least, and we would often call it UsoCon amongst ourselves, calling back to the older joke. -- Secret Agent 3k2505 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.146.102.214 (talk) 21:41, March 24, 2007 (UTC)

You Suffer

"You Suffer" is a song by English grindcore band Napalm Death, released on the band's debut studio album, Scum (1987). The song is precisely 1.316 seconds long. The song was written by Nicholas Bullen, Justin Broadrick, and Mick Harris during the March 1986 demo sessions for From Enslavement to Obliteration.

The song holds the world record for shortest song. In March 2023, Rolling Stone ranked the song at number 72 on their "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Songs of All Time" list.

Background and influence
The official four-word lyrics to the song are: "You suffer, but why?". Justin Broadrick said about the song:

"You Suffer" was largely a comedy thing, one-second song...it's ridiculous, but it was hilarious. We played that song in front of 30 local kids, like, every weekend. We played that song 30 times. It was a laugh.

Nicholas Bullen, writer of the song's four-word lyrics, said that the brevity of "You Suffer" was inspired by Wehrmacht's 1985 song "E!". The song has since been recognized by Guinness World Records as the shortest ever recorded. "You Suffer" would become an influence on the "noisecore" micro-genre, inspiring many bands such as Sore Throat, 7 Minutes of Nausea, Deche-Charge, Anal Cunt, and others to release full-length recordings of exclusively "microsong" content. Swedish metal band Opeth and Finnish gothic metal band HIM have both covered the song live.

Release
In 1989, "You Suffer" appeared on one side of a 7" single given away free with copies of a compilation album entitled Grindcrusher. The song on the other side, "Mega-Armageddon Death Part 3" by the Electro Hippies, also lasts approximately one second, making the disc the shortest single ever released. Each side features one groove at the outer edge of the disc containing the music, with the rest of the surface containing etched writing and cartoons.

To coincide with the release of the Scum DualDisc in March 2007, a music video produced by Earache Records was released for the song. The video shows a girl jumping up and down with fake blood/gunshot effects overlayed on the footage.

Star product

In mathematics, the star product is a method of combining graded posets with unique minimal and maximal elements, preserving the property that the posets are Eulerian.

Definition
The star product of two graded posets $$(P,\le_P)$$ and $$(Q,\le_Q)$$, where $$P$$ has a unique maximal element $$\widehat{1}$$ and $$Q$$ has a unique minimal element $$\widehat{0}$$, is a poset $$P*Q$$ on the set $$(P\setminus\{\widehat{1}\})\cup(Q\setminus\{\widehat{0}\})$$. We define the partial order $$\le_{P*Q}$$ by $$x\le y$$ if and only if:

 * 1. $$\{x,y\}\subset P$$, and $$x\le_P y$$;
 * 2. $$\{x,y\}\subset Q$$, and $$x\le_Q y$$; or
 * 3. $$x\in P$$ and $$y\in Q$$.

In other words, we pluck out the top of $$P$$ and the bottom of $$Q$$, and require that everything in $$P$$ be smaller than everything in $$Q$$.

Example
For example, suppose $$P$$ and $$Q$$ are the Boolean algebra on two elements.

Then $$P*Q$$ is the poset with the Hasse diagram below.

Properties
The star product of Eulerian posets is Eulerian.

Social impact assessment

Social impact assessment (SIA) is a methodology to review the social effects of infrastructure projects and other development interventions. Although SIA is usually applied to planned interventions, the same techniques can be used to evaluate the social impact of unplanned events, for example, disasters, demographic change, and epidemics. SIA is important in applied anthropology, as its main goal is to deliver positive social outcomes and eliminate any possible negative or long term effects.

Overview
The origins of SIA largely derives from the environmental impact assessment (EIA) model, which first emerged in the 1970s in the U.S. In the United States under the National Environmental Policy Act. Social impact assessments are federally mandated and performed in conjunction with environmental impact assessments. SIA has been incorporated into the formal planning and approval processes in several countries, to categorize and assess how major developments may affect populations, groups, and settlements. Though the social impact assessment has long been considered subordinate to the environmental impact assessment, new models, such as the Environmental Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), take a more integrated approach where equal weight is given to both the social and environmental impact assessments.

Although the Social Impact Assessment is recognized and used as a methodology, to review its social effects on industry projects. The term SIA is more widely known in most European countries, whereas in North America, the term Cultural impact is more widely used. Cultural and social terms were first seen to describe a branch of anthropology. There are no significant differences between the two however, both terms overlap each other to a certain extent. ‘Cultural Anthropology’ as mentioned is more commonly used in the US, its term is well known to the early works of American anthropologists. Some of the most prominent figures include Franz Boas and Ruth Benedict, they have both have stressed that unity in cultures through their language, behavior, ideologies, and material creations. On the other hand, ‘Social Anthropology’ is a term developed over the 20th century primarily in Britain. Their emphasis on what social anthropology is, is based on social relationships. Although it is based more on a theoretical approach just like cultural anthropology; its emphasis is understanding the social impacts and relations in a particular society.

Social Impact Assessment
Social impact assessments are used to identify and manage the social impacts of industrial projects. These SIA can also be linked to Environmental impact assessments where policies, planning, and programming need to be implemented. Examples of social impact assessments include looking at how people live in a society (kinship or nuclear setting), culture, community, medical knowledge, and political systems. These examples showcase the emphasis on the environment and its effect on social impact. Applied anthropologists generally in SIA's identify and mitigate:  who are the stakeholders, community, housing, workforce, health, and industry content. In SIA's, one needs to identify the stakeholders, the type of communities who will be impacted in a positive or negative manner. Collecting data is also an expected task by looking at indigenous communities, culture, key industries, etc. Explaining methods that will be used in your SIA, Identifying possible direct social impacts as well as the time frame of these impacts, and lastly providing government legislation and policies that related to the SIA. Just like with SIA, culture impact assessment (CIA) is essentially the same term and methodology as SIA. The only real difference is the fact that depending on what country you are in that they use the terms Social Impact Assessment (SIA) or Culture Impact Assessment (CIA). There are initially ten steps that one takes to do an effective social impact assessment, as advised by The Guidelines and Principles For Social Impact Assessment.

Steps of an effective SIA

 * 1) Formulate a public plan or policy that involves all potential parties.
 * 2) Describe what your public plan is or policy.
 * 3) Describe the environment or area specific to your public plan or policy and its conditions.
 * 4) After you have formulated your practical understanding of your proposal, recognize the potential social impacts will be communicated to those who are affected.
 * 5) Identify the potential social impacts.
 * 6) Establish the consequences of social impacts.
 * 7) Identify future impacts and growing social impacts.
 * 8) Plan an alternative public plan or policy and its outcomes.
 * 9) Formulate a mitigating plan.
 * 10) Formulate a program that monitors every aspect of the plan.

Akkademja tal-Malti

The Akkademja tal-Malti was the prime regulatory body responsible for the Maltese language from the early 20th century up to the end of the millennium, when a government-sponsored law was passed to protect issues related to the national language. On joining the European Union, Maltese became one of the recognised languages of the EU.

Initially known as L-Għaqda tal-Kittieba tal-Malti (Association of Writers of Maltese), Malta's oldest literary society whose earliest activities go as far back as the early 1920s, led by literary figures including Dun Karm, Ġużè Muscat Azzopardi and Ninu Cremona, it spearheaded the cause of the Maltese language. The Akkademja was mainly responsible for major linguistic and literary development of the Maltese language during the past century, developing linguistic academic initiatives which culminated in the national recognition of a standard written Maltese.

In 2005 the National Council for the Maltese Language was set up through a law by the Maltese Parliament. This council is currently the main regulatory body of the Maltese language, replacing the L-Akkademja tal-Malti.

Mollie Skinner

Mary Louisa (Mollie) Skinner (1876 – 1955) was a Western Australian author, best known for the novel The Boy in the Bush co-authored with D. H. Lawrence.

Biography
Mollie Skinner was born on 19 September 1876 to a Western Australian family that had established itself during the early years of settlement, distinguishing her position an "ancient colonist" in the local society from the "t'othersiders" who arrived in Western Australia from the eastern states. The family's religion was the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Her mother was Jessie Rose Ellen, the daughter of George Walpole Leake, who had married James Tierney Skinner, a captain in the 18th Royal Irish Regiment. While born in Perth, her family took the infant Mollie to England and Ireland. She began her education in Edinburgh, but a painful condition of the eyes inflicted shortly afterward was treated by placing her in a darkened room for five years. The successful restoration of her health allowed her to begin composing poetry and stories and other tasks, and Skinner later enrolled at two children's hospitals in London to begin a career in nursing.

Skinner returned to Perth with the rest of her family in 1900. She operated a convalescent home and guest house with a friend Nellie Beakbane, located in the foothills suburb of Darlington. On the recommendation of a friend, Pussy Jenkins, D H Lawrence and his wife stayed at this house while visiting Western Australia; their meeting would be influential to their respective literary careers.

Mollie Skinner died on 25 May 1955 at the town of York.

Works
Before leaving England in 1900 she was published in the Daily Mail newspaper.

She wrote a memoir describing her experiences during the First World War, as a volunteer aid worker in Burma. Mollie was the co-owner of a guesthouse in Darlington, where D. H. Lawrence stayed, shortly after arriving in the country in 1922. Skinner's Letters of a V. A. D. was given to Lawrence by Margaret Cohen, another friend residing at the house, and he became interested in her other works. After Lawrence read the work, he remarked, "You have been given the Divine Spark and would bury it in a napkin". Her draft novel The House of Ellis was rewritten by Lawrence and published as The Boy in the Bush in August 1924. Her brother Jack was the subject of Lawrence's novel Kangaroo.

Two years after the publication of The Boy in the Bush, she met with Edward Garnett to discuss publishing Black Swans. His critique of the work as "so damn, damn bad" gave rise to Skinner's tears and cries, but he finished by declaring that it was also so "damn, damn good" that he intended to publish it. Skinner's autobiography, The Fifth Sparrow, was edited by Mary Durack and Marjorie Rees while Skinner's health was failing and published posthumously in 1972.

Legacy
Skinner enjoyed moderate success during her lifetime, particularly for the association with D. H. Lawrence, but did not share the fame of contemporaries such as Katherine Susannah Prichard and Mary Durack. Her life story was adapted to a play, Sparrow, first performed in 2018.

Skinner Street in the Canberra suburb Cook was named in her honour.

Talk:Akkadian Empire

Improving article using WPFR
Hi all, the article on the Akkad Empire on French WP has GA status. I've looked into it and overall it is much more balanced in its treatment of historical and archaeological sources and topics. I'm thinking about translating it to incorporate it into the English article. This is obviously going to be a major rewriting of the article so I would like to know how other editors feel about that before I proceed. Best, --Zoeperkoe (talk) 15:36, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi SomeGuyWhoRandomlyEdits, I saw that you're planning to rewrite this entire article, mostly (again) by copying stuff from other articles.

I was just doing some minor clean-up edits to the infoboxes and the list of kings. — SomeGuyWhoRandomlyEdits (talk) 17:19, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Actually you did add information in the table on kings. Information which I think is not needed here since it is too specific for this article. Why do you think it should be in this article? And would it be possible to refrain from editing this article and the other one until we get this sorted out? --Zoeperkoe (talk) 19:44, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

 * OK. I undid my edits. — SomeGuyWhoRandomlyEdits (talk) 18:17, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

 * I decided to re-add that previous table after having removed some of that "unnecessary content" on there. — SomeGuyWhoRandomlyEdits (talk) 22:11, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I've made some changes as well. Please review the edit history of the article to see why I changed specific parts; it will give insights in why some changes you make are not considered improvements by others. It has partly to do with readability - you have a tendency to spell out every detail every time it comes up. That's not necessary. It also has partly to do with information that's just not correct. I know that for example the area estimates from Taagepera pop up everywhere on Wikipedia, but it's just not reliable. The same goes for a number of names of Akkadian kings during the interregnum period. Those names come from king lists, but these lists are not true historical accounts - they are literary devices to help explain the status quo and sometimes come from later periods and historical details are changed/made up as needed (and this goes for the Sumerian King List as well!). Hopefully this helps you to understand why I made certain changes! If you have questions about content, feel free to ask! Best, --Zoeperkoe (talk) 07:26, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

dates - years - centuries ( - places)
Greetings all and thank you to everyone who has been working on this article. Having recently found a few sources to add, and trying to consolidate some material, the biggest issue which arose was the uncertainty of the dates. (User:Zoeperkoe will have noticed that the French are much more cautious about this issue.) Consider this review by Zettler 2003, with emphasis added:

"In his historical scenario Weiss has adopted the middle chronology in Brinkman's appendix to Oppenheim's Ancient Mesopotamia (1977:335–48), which has come to be cited more out of convenience than conviction by archaeologists and historians, and the 80 years he assigned to the Gutian interregnum. Brinkman's chronology places Sargon's accession at 2334, his successors, Naram-Suen and Sharkalisharri, under whom the dynasty presumably collapsed, at 2254–2218 and 2217–2193, respectively, and the Third Dynasty of Ur at 2112–2004. however, Brinkman noted that if Hallo's 40 year Gutian interregnum is correct then the Dynasty of Akkade would have to be dated 2293–2113. The middle chronology, however, is under attack, with various scholars arguing strongly in favor of a low(er) chronology and for various reasons. Without going into detail, Boese has placed Sargon's accession at shortly after 2250 (1982), Gasche, Armstrong, Cole and Gurzadyan at 2200 (1998) and Reade at 2180 (2001), with the Third Dynasty of Ur moved according."

In other words we are dealing with a range of possible dates for Sargon's accession spanning 154 years, from 2334 to 2180. What's worse, we are currently using an extreme from the range, a figure from 1977 which Zettler says "has come to be cited more out of convenience than conviction by archaeologists and historians". Thus the starting date for the "Akkadian Empire" might be 2257 +/- 77 ... or perhaps one might write: 'around the 23rd century BC.

The infobox template seems to demand year numbers. Honestly, I would recommend scrapping it and using the map with an informative caption instead. The categories of information presented therein are really not very helpful for this time period—they work better for better-understood countries with clearer lines of succession.

Throughout the article the issue of dates must be considered. In the body of the French article they're giving one date, followed by another one 50 years later. Sometimes they give just a century. The fact is, these events can be organized relative to each other in an ordinal chronology, but the absolute dates are uncertain, and the article should reflect that.

Also undetermined seems to be the geographical extent of the Akkadian Empire, an issue which the article should probably address head-on. In general I don't think we should be afraid to acknowledge uncertainty where it exists. Aloha ÷ groupuscule (talk) 03:36, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Bible/Nimrod
"The Bible refers to Akkad in Genesis 10:10[11], which states that the beginning of Nimrod's kingdom was in the land of Akkad. Nimrod's historical identity is unknown, but some have compared him with the legendary Gilgamesh, founder of Uruk." First, this shouldn't be the lead of the history section. Second, this should go in to its own "Biblical" section. Unlike the mythologized Gilgamesh, there is no evidence for Nimrod ever existing, and the Mesopotamian's themselves never mentioned such a person ever existing, in their histories or mythology.

Someone recently changed the intro from saying that the Akkadian Empire was the "First Empire of Ancient Mesopotamia" to the "Second Empire of Mesopotamia".

Bronze head?
The British Museum says the original head is copper, not bronze. Philgoetz (talk) 14:31, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

 * According to this article (which is linked in the footnote in the image caption), the head is made of bronze, athough with some uncertainty. In this case, I would think that the article is more reliable than the object entry in the British Museum catalogue. Zoeperkoe (talk) 09:40, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
 * A big mistake! The article is from 1916, by Agatha Christie's husband (later), and says "The metal has not yet been analysed, but it would appear to be bronze ...". Like many museums the BM no longer uses "bronze" but "copper alloy", as bronze is such a slippery term. They are in any case far more likely to have the best and most up to date info. Johnbod (talk) 13:40, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Mallowan does say "appears to be bronze" but the later paper "Westenholz, Joan Goodnick. “The Old Akkadian Presence in Nineveh: Fact or Fiction.” Iraq, vol. 66, 2004, pp. 7–18" says it is hollow cast copper based on analysis done in the 1980s referencing "Strommenger, E.

Gary Shaw (footballer, born 1961)

Gary Robert Shaw (born 21 January 1961) is an English former football striker who played for Aston Villa in the early 1980s.

Club career
During the 1980s, Shaw's goals helped Aston Villa win the First Division championship in 1980–81 and the European Cup the following year - the only Birmingham-born player in the team. In 1981, he was voted PFA Young Player of the Year, and was awarded the Bravo Award the following year, as the best under-23 player in European Competitions.

His promising Villa career was hindered after sustaining a knee injury in an away game at Nottingham Forest in September 1983. After a heavy tackle, he was helped to his feet by Ian Bowyer and, in Shaw's words, something in his knee 'clicked'. After his recovery, he continued to play for Villa until the conclusion of the 1987–88 season.

In July 1988 he made his debut for Copenhagen-based Kjøbenhavns Boldklub in Denmark, moving to SK Austria Klagenfurt in Austria in 1989. He finished his career off at Walsall, Kilmarnock, Shrewsbury Town and the Hong Kong-based Ernest Borel FC.

International career
Shaw gained seven caps for the England under-21 team. Following a successful European Cup campaign with Aston Villa, he was also included in the 40-strong preliminary England squad for the 1982 FIFA World Cup finals; however, he was not picked in the final 22.

Club
Aston Villa
 * First Division: 1980–81
 * European Cup: 1981–82
 * European Super Cup: 1982

Individual

 * Bravo Award (Awarded to the Most Outstanding Young Footballer in Europe): 1982
 * PFA Young Player of the Year: 1981

Villanova station (SEPTA Regional Rail)

Villanova station is a SEPTA Regional Rail station on the campus of Villanova University in Villanova, Pennsylvania. It is in Radnor Township, located on North Spring Mill Road (PA 320) near County Line Road and serves most Paoli/Thorndale Line trains.

The station building was originally built in 1890 by the Pennsylvania Railroad and is within the campus of Villanova University. The eastbound and westbound platforms are ground-level and are connected by an underground handicap accessible pedestrian tunnel running beneath the tracks (which replaced the old non-handicapped accessible tunnel in 2018 ) The station building is also home to a small café called "Rosie's Coffee". There are 167 parking spaces at the station, including SEPTA permit parking. This station is 12.0 track miles from Philadelphia's Suburban Station. In 2017, the average total weekday boardings at this station was 466, and the average total weekday alightings was 447.

Station layout
Villanova has two low-level side platforms with pathways connecting the platforms to the inner tracks.

Roderic Bowen

Evan Roderic Bowen QC (6 August 1913 – 18 July 2001) was a Welsh lawyer and Liberal Party politician.

Bowen was educated at Cardigan County School, University College, Aberystwyth, where he graduated LLB in 1933, and St John's College, Cambridge, where he was awarded a further first-class degree in law in 1935. He was called to the bar at the Middle Temple in 1937, and became a Queen's Counsel (QC) in 1952. He served in the Army for five years during World War II, reaching the rank of captain.

At the 1945 general election, Bowen was elected at the first attempt as Member of Parliament for Cardiganshire, succeeding Owen Evans. With only a Labour opponent he comfortably held the seat. He was re-elected in the 1950 general election with the largest Liberal majority at that election, despite facing both Conservative and Labour opposition. During most of the 1950s he was one of a tiny group of only five or six Liberal MPs left at Westminster. He failed to succeed Clement Davies as leader of the Liberal Party in 1956 when Jo Grimond was chosen. Politically, he was on the right of the Liberal Party. During the Suez Crisis, he defended the Conservative Government against opposition "carping criticisms". One of the chief opposition critics of the Government over Suez was his own party leader, Jo Grimond.

Safely returned at the 1959 general election, Bowen's seat was regarded as "the most secure Liberal seat in the whole of the United Kingdom". Even so, it was widely believed that Bowen saw his political career as secondary to his work as a lawyer, a belief that was strengthened by his appointment as Recorder of Cardiff in 1950 and Recorder of Merthyr Tydfil in 1953. His legal work in south Wales resulted in very infrequent appearances in the constituency and his attendance and voting record at Westminster was sporadic.

Bowen's political career came second to his judicial career although he was a President of the Welsh Liberal Federation and member of its council. He was Recorder of Merthyr Tydfil and of Carmarthen. After the 1964 election when Labour's majority in the House of Commons was just four seats, he was persuaded by the Government to accept the position of Deputy Speaker. This put the Labour majority in the House up to five.

His seat remained safe until the 1964 election when a Conservative candidate intervened and Labour cut his majority to around 2,000. At the 1966 general election, he was defeated by the Labour candidate by just 523 votes.

He served as National Insurance Commissioner for Wales, 1967–86, and as president of St Davids University College, Lampeter, 1977–92. One of the libraries and a research centre at Lampeter carry his name and Roderic Bowen is also the name of one of the student halls of residence. In 1971-72 he chaired a governmental committee set up to examine road signs policy in Wales.

Komety

Komety is one of Poland's most popular and distinctive alternative groups. Its line-up: Lesław (voice, guitar, music, words), W. Szewko (bass, voice) and Arkus (drums, voice). The group has created a characteristic musical/lyrical style all their own. Before Komety, Lesław had been the leader of the now defunct group Partia.

In 2003, Komety released their début album on Jimmy Jazz Records.

In 2005, the Via Ardiente album was released and they played at the punk rock festival Antifest in the Czech Republic. Komety 2004-2006, featuring previously unreleased material, came out the following year. The next album, Akcja v1 came out in 2007. Singles taken from that album topped many Polish charts.

In early 2008, Mexico's Esquilo Records released The Story of Komety a collection of the group's best-known selections. In March 2009, Zloto Aztekow, a live album also featuring new studio recordings, came out on Jimmy Jazz Records.

Komety are one of the few Polish groups to have gained popularity abroad. Their songs have appeared on compilation albums in such countries as the US, France, Finland, Germany, Japan, and Russia.

Their album Luminal came out in April 2011. Their album Paso Fino was released in 2014 by Thin Man Records, and their newest album Bal nadziei was released in 2016, also by Thin Man Records.

On April 3, 2022, Komety supported by Trojka performed a concert for their 20th anniversary.

M606 motorway

The M606 is a 3 mi stretch of motorway in West Yorkshire, England. Called the Bradford Spur motorway, the M606 leaves the M62 motorway at junction 26, near Cleckheaton, and heads into Bradford, to join the A6177 Bradford Ring Road. It is officially named the "Bradford South Radial Motorway" and was opened in 1973.

Route
The northern end of the M606, closest to the city, was built with a large raised roundabout crossing the Bradford Ring Road, but the original plans to continue the motorway under the roundabout were not carried out: access was only by slip roads to and from the roundabout.

In 1999, a new slip road was built that allowed eastward traffic on the ring road, via a mini-roundabout, to enter the motorway directly and avoid the Staygate roundabout.

In 2004, the junction was further remodelled, so that traffic leaving the motorway and wishing to turn eastward on the ring road continues under the roundabout, and round to join the roundabout from the opposite site, so that it has a left rather than a right turn to make (via two sets of traffic lights).

Staygate roundabout is very close to Odsal Stadium, the home of the rugby league club Bradford Bulls.

The southerly junction with the M62 is known as the Chain Bar Interchange and features free-flowing sliproads from the Manchester direction M62 traffic to Bradford, but not the Leeds direction, which has to use the complex traffic-light controlled roundabout.

In 2007, work started on the M606 to create the UK's first motorway carpool lane (also known as high-occupancy vehicle or HOV lane). The 1 mi lane scheme was on the M606 southbound and allowed vehicles with more than one person in the car a fast track onto the M62 eastbound at Junction 26. In August 2017 the lane's restriction was removed and is now open to all traffic.

In September 2016, it was revealed that the M606 is the slowest part of the motorway network averaging 24.6 mph.

Embrithopoda

Embrithopoda ("heavy-footed") is an order of extinct mammals known from Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. Most of the embrithopod genera are known exclusively from jaws and teeth dated from the late Paleocene to the late Eocene; however, the order is best known from its terminal member, the elephantine Arsinoitherium.

Description
While embrithopods bore a superficial resemblance to rhinoceroses, their horns had bony cores covered in keratinized skin. Not all embrithopods possessed horns, either. Despite their appearance, they have been regarded as related to elephants, not perissodactyls.

As tethytheres, the Embrithopoda have been believed to be part of the clade Afrotheria. However, a study of the basal arsinoitheriid, Palaeoamasia, suggests that embrithopods are not tethytheres or even paenungulates, and that they need to be better sampled in an analysis of eutherian relationships to clarify if they are even afrotherians. It is also not clear if embrithopods originated in Africa or Eurasia. However, recent findings demonstrate an African origin for embrithopods and furthermore a relationship with other paenungulates, albeit having diverged earlier than previously thought.

Fossils of embrithopods, such as Arsinoitherium, have been found in Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco, Mongolia, Turkey, Romania, Namibia, Tunisia and Croatia. Until the 1970s, only Arsinoitherium itself was known, appearing isolated in the fossil record.

Classification
and considered Phenacolophus from Mongolia a primitive embrithopod, although this attribution was challenged by several other authors. A 2016 cladistic study found Phenacolophus as a stem-perissodactyl and the embrithopods at the base of Altungulata. More recently, an afrothere identity has been vindicated, albeit more basal than previously assumed.

Order Embrithopoda sensu Prothero & Schoch 1989 (=Barypoda Andrews 1904 )

Or maybe an official press release from the Israeli Knesset? Frankly, you are not making any sense because this is a known video that was shown on Israel's state-run TV and certainly and factually exists.

It would be really nice if there were a hebrew article he:הוידאו של קמפלר or he:וידאו הקמפלר ("Kempler's video") or he:רוני קמפלר (Roni Kempler) etc. I assume that such an article would attract a greater number of knowledgable people.

 * Note: he.wikipedia spells it he:וידאו, not וידאיו. (vide'o, not videyo) I still cannot find the hebrew article. The hebrew article on Yigal Amir does not mention Kempler either.    Possibly because Hebrew speakers are better informed and immediately delete it?  -- Aleph4 11:07, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

I tried putting up the kempler video as a link to Rabin murder, yitzhak rabin, Yigal amir, Rabin murder conspiracy and it would be taken down within a few minutes. I actually went to the wiki meeting in Tel Aviv and these people who took it down know what they were doing. Keep in mind that there was a group on english wiki that really wanted to take it down as well.הוידאיו של קמפלר would be the way to spell it in hebrew. Kempler video in hebrew can be Kempler film, Kempler cassette. My web guy is translating the article and will put it up on the site shortly, maybe tomorrow. At this point I am actually walking around with a sandwitch sign in Jerusalem saying "the killer are free", like Bruce Willis did in the movie, and below that the "Kempler video 10 minutes", then "there is a fourth person in the limo". below "www.YitzhakRabin.co.il". this should be international news very shortly. and alot of volunteers are coming forward so I just ordered alot more signs.Kempler video 6:04, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

I have no idea what is going on in this article. Yigal Amir assassinated a prime minister and someone is out with videos saying that he didn't? That must piss him off. Anyways. Could anyone message me on what is going on?

Guy Montag 19:59, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

http://www.uni-konstanz.de/FuF/Philo/Geschichte/kursss99/winkler/yigal.GIF is picture of Yigal shooting right handed .. in video he shoots left handed. someone should should put picture on sight.the new technique is to insinuate that I am reverting others edits ,, it is just the gang of two..Kempler video 19:59, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Ok. Why is this relevent? Yigal Amir has both admitted assassinating Rabin and proudly stated that he would do so again if he had the chance. What is the purpose of this video, this picture and other theories related to the assassination?

Guy Montag 00:00, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well well, Kemple video comes up with a 'picture of Yigal shooting right handed'. However if you look at it you will see that Yigal Amir does not shoot in that picture. Just another fable out of many. This is how urban legends are being build. gidonb  12:20, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

of course he does not shoot. It is the reconstruction of the murder during the trial in which Yigal and the whole court goes to the place of the crime. They snapped his picture and the photo shows Yigal shooting right handed. in the video Yigal pulls out the gun from his pocket with his right hand and shoots with his left. look at the video and you can see that the video was blurry at that time, the film was "cut up" to make the dude's arm very long. Ballistics said that Rabin was shot at "point blank range" so they gave the dude a very long left arm. Kempler video 19:59, 3 Sept 2005 (UTC)

This is ridiculous. Guy Montag 00:12, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Yes, it is ridiculous, look at the video, and the still photo from the reconstruction. What other explanation is there. But, Guy. If you don't care about the subject then go to a subject that you care about. Kempler video 19:59, 4 Sept 2005 (UTC)

This is like arguing with a Larauche supporter. There is no conspiracy. Yigal Amir assassinated Rabin because he disregarded his democratic mandate and position to not negotiate with the PLO, and then bribed Knesset members to pass the Oslo Accords. Dubiously valid videos about what hand was used, or undocumented phantoms that supposedly show a door close in a limo, which lead to more unwarranted theories are a waste of time. When Yigal Amir himself has said again and again that he assassinated Rabin, that he would do so again if he had the chance, that those people who spout unwarranted conspiracy theories anger him and in his eyes, demean his sacrifice, is enough to leave this ridiculous witch hunt alone. Anyways, you can hunt phantoms for your whole life, I don't care, but don't do it in this medium and don't attempt to phrase this article as though it is true.

Guy Montag 20:32, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Guy, are we looking at the same video. the video is valid and was shown on Israeli TV. You can hear the announcer. The announcer is actually a famous anchorman. Actually we have the video on the site from the interogation in which Yigal denies the murder. The whole lawyer file is there. So study the case if you want. Kempler video 22:32, 4 September 2005 (UTC) It should be noted that Jayjg initially tried to delete the page. Now the dude is so concerned with the quality of wiki he is editing the page...I would like to know the real reason why jayjg and gidonb are so interested in this subject. Kempler video 23:32, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Perhaps Mossad is behind it all; what do you think? Jayjg (talk) 20:38, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

 * The Shabak (under Carmi Gillon), not the Mossad, takes a leading role in this theory. Mossad theories are rather favored by the anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists. You're not Shabak, are you Jay?! ;) HKT talk 20:55, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I see; so gidonb and I are in the pay of Shabak, then? Jayjg (talk) 20:59, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

 * In their pay? By your wiki-medals, I'd say you must control the Shabak from behind the scenes! In any event, I don't know whether you'd consider such an accusation as a personal attack. :/ HKT talk 21:37, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Survived Votes for deletion/Kempler video. mikka (t) 20:49, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Clarification
The article doesn't discuss the Shamgar Commission's conclusions about the video, nor does it mention Chamish's conclusions (and why they allegedly anger Amir). Additionally, the article should mention that this video and the conspiracy theories surrounding it have been hot topics for years in right-wing and independant Israeli news sources with extensive circulation, such as Makor Rishon (circulation ~190,000) (and that the video conspiracy discussion is certainly not solely, nor even primarily, Chamish's domain). HKT talk 16:26, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Hey HKT, I am glad that you are joining this battle with jayjg and gidonb. You cannot really reason with those who were unsuccessful at deleting, now they are just trying to delete the content of Kempler and delete the links. They take it real serious. please help in reverting the deletes if you want to help. The facts you have on the murder are ok. But I am living this and have alot more information. Last night I met the guy who has a lot more information than Barry or I currently have. It seems that the whole scene of the shooting is a "photo montage". You will notice that, if you can make out Yigal Amir's head, it is much smaller than Rabin's and other's heads. There is actually a newspaper photo of the murder that shows Yigal with short sideburns and a small head. We will put that on the site soon. In short, when Yigal went for the gun with his right arm, he probably got a cell phone call and everything afterwards is fake. Also it is www.rotter.net who is taking the lead in braking the censor on Rabin, not Makor Rishon. Kempler video talk 16:26, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I believe that the sideburns issue has been discussed years ago, so it's not new. If you want to add that as a bullet, feel free to do so. Nevertheless, your editing must be in-line with Wikipedia's guidelines, specifically the one about no original research. To clarify that policy: Wikipedia may consider information "original research," even if you know that the info to be true and obvious, when that info has not been confirmed by a source widely accepted as authoritative. In short, all information that you have about the video can only be presented as a claim, and can only be included if it has been gained notoriety somewhere. I don't know what the circulation is for Barry's books, but it might be significant enough to meet the standards of notoriety required to present his claims, even if they haven't been addressed elsewhere. You should know that I'm not joining a battle against the two editors you mention. I know from experience that they respect Wikipedia's policies, and they will not revert your changes if you follow the rules. While the rules aren't without their downsides, they are designed to diminish bias in Wikipedia articles. Whether the rules successfully accomplish that goal is a matter of opinion. However, the rules must be followed because if someone doesn't follow the rules, he can expect his edits to be reverted. HKT talk 17:36, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

I can understand where you are coming from. I will leave you stuff up, I put a link the Barry Chamish article on Kempler video. He is probably more of an expert on the video than the person who wrote the wiki article. I am going to post my article on the web some where and then make a link to it from wiki... if and when they two guys delete I will be really wierd.. we will get back to the reverting on a daily basis. keep in mind that on related articles these guys are replacing the 10 minute video with a10 second CNN clip. As if to fool people into thinking the big deal about Kempler is only 10 seconds so there is no need to check out the Kempler article.Kempler video talk 17:36, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

"much of the Israeli public"
David, if you don't want this reverted, you should find a poll (or some other source) that indicates that it is true. I recall reading about a poll taken a couple years ago that indicated that (at that time) around a third of the Israeli populace didn't believe the official story about the Rabin murder. I don't recall who took the poll, and I'll leave the research up to you. HKT talk 04:21, 13 September 2005 (UTC) excellent advice, the poll numbers are actually much greater than they were previously, the news source that is reporting Rabin murder is www.Rotter.net. They are conducting an online poll now. http://rotter.net/edit/text/seker.htm. There are currently 04.08.2005 : poll started on August 4, 2005: one vote per ip address. The poll numbers will change drastically in the coming two months. Shimon Peres in his online political party newspaper called me (David Rutstein) and Barry Chamish "mental cases that should be institutionalized." Big mistake. I filed a police complaint. In Israel slander is a criminal offence but more importantly we are preparing a slander lawsuit that will force Shimon Peres to explain in court what he meant. The whole reason the poll numbers are 60-70% against the government version is the government and media policy of not reporting any doubts as to the official version of the Rabin murder. When Shimon Peres and others take the stand the whole country will have heard of the Kempler video and the other evidence and logic that proves beyond any doubt that the government version is nonsense. Kempler video talk 04:21, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 20.6%  אני מאמין/ה   believe official government report

 * 4,739 :מספר המשיבים  number of votes
 * Online polls are unscientific, and in any event not believing the government report doesn't mean one believes the Rutstein version. Jayjg (talk) 17:04, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Hey Jayjg, sorry I could not spend more time with you. But I am really making news here in Israel. I am attempting to break a censor that no one has succeeding in breaking for almost 10 years. I sort of figured out what media outlets are willing to break the censor.  It is Rotter.net and a few others so I am supplying them with news. Sandwich signs that state that Shimon Peres gave the order to murder are really good photo shoots.  The photos make the front page. I am sueing Shimon Peres for slander and Shimon is not sueing me.  Really wierd. As well online polls are not so great. They, in fact are terrible.  The official policy of the media is not to bring up any doubt on Rabin murder at all. So no public polling exists on any media source except www.rotter.net.  Jayjg, all people who investigate Kempler video, Rabin murder, etc all come to the same conclusion. It may be the hebrew stuff that is not all translated but feel free to call me anytime.  This may be a blanket statement but sometimes the blanket fits.

Kempler video (talk) 17:04, 21 September 2005 (UTC) Hey Gidon and Jayjg, good news, this story is being picked up by international media in the very near future. Shimon Peres called me a "sycko" "that should be institutionalized" so I filed a $50,000 slander lawsuit against Shimon. As well I put big headlines on all my sites that say "Shimon Peres ordered the murder of Yitzhak Rabin". these sites include yitzhakrabin.co.il, yigalamir.com, shimonperes.net, arielsharon.co.il and barrychamish.com (english)  Hey guys you have to appreciate my sense of humor. If what I am claiming is false Shimon will sue me and I will look stupid and loose money. But if what I am saying is true.... oy va voy....G and J.. believe me, I am not happy to be correct.. but the preponderance of evidence is really overwhelming...--Kempler videoOctober 5 (cur) (last) 06:24, 12 October 2005 217.132.38.214 (deleted sentences about Chamish, yigal amir, yideot acharonot, yigalamir.com calls yigal Pedofile..based on Barry Chamish writing, response 40(english) when click yigal picture)

 * I agree with Jay that we shouldn't link to that particular YouTube video unless Kempler somehow confirms that it was he who uploaded it. Anyone could have uploaded it claiming to be Kempler.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 01:35, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree with you, but I am sure that Kempler uploaded his YouTube videos.Video777 (talk) 00:45, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

baBlonde:I can understand that you gentle beings would think that its an advertisement. My aim is not to advertise, but merely to create an awareness to wikipedians that there is a festival out there that showcases some of these elements. For instance, would you ever be able to see an 'orang asli' or experience an authentic 'kampong' lifestyle if you were in Malaysia? I'm merely suggesting where we can find these elements. My rationale is this: you can search for 'orang asli', 'kampong' and 'hulu langat' in the wikipedia, and I can tell you one place where you can experience or see for yourselves these elements in a most authentic state, ie not in a museum or shopping mall. To point a place on a map, so to speak. I would sincerely appreciate if you'd re-consider. And like I mentioned, is a place that bridges the gap between urban and kampong lifestyles in Malaysia. Thanks!

Kristian Ranta

Kristian Ranta, also known as Kride, was the guitarist of the Finnish melodic death metal band Norther, until their break up in 2012. Kristian has composed most of Norther's best known songs including Frozen Angel, and is also credited for renaming the band (originally called Requiem). Ranta has played the guitar on all the band's full-length albums, the most recent being Circle Regenerated (2011) and N (2008), and contributed clean vocals to the Solution 7 EP, Till Death Unites Us, the No Way Back EP and N. He has formed an experimental side project named Gashouse Garden with Children of Bodom drummer Jaska Raatikainen.

Kristian has also acted, along with his band mates, in a Finnish film called Vares 2. Norther and Kristian also composed a title track for this film called Frozen Angel, for which a music video, featuring images of the movie, was made.

User:Zoe k

Hello!

I am a new user at Wikipedia. Still trying to find my way around.

I am currently doing research for my graduation thesis and Wikipedia has been really useful so far. I hope to contribute to the wiki community too. So far, I have only corrected a sentence for clarity on some page sometime ago - nothing big- just adding a comma and deleting one or two unnecessary articles - as in "a" "the" to make the sentences easier to read ( I hope). Nothing big yet. But I hope to contribute more as I find out more through the course of my research.

If I have posted something silly or done something wrong, feel free to tell me. THANKS!!!

Radnor station (SEPTA Regional Rail)

Radnor station is a SEPTA Regional Rail station in Radnor, Pennsylvania. It is served by most Paoli/Thorndale Line trains. Radnor has two low-level side platforms with pathways connecting the platforms to the inner tracks.

History
The Radnor station was originally built in 1872. It was a replacement for the former Morgan's Corner Station built by the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad. The station was designed by Joseph M. Wilson and Frederick G. Thorn, both later of Wilson Brothers & Company, architects. Radnor's design was a brick variant of Wynnewood station, with a two-story agent's residence addition. A nearly identical version of Radnor Station was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad at Hawkins, just east of Pittsburgh.

After electrification, in 1917 a synchronous compensator for delivering reactive power was installed (see Amtrak's 25 Hz traction power system). This device was later removed. Between 1999 and 2002, SEPTA restored and renovated the historic station building. The station building was restored, its historic eastbound shelter replaced with a modern structure, and new platforms, ramps, lighting, and signage were installed.

Level Seven (hacker group)

The Level Seven Crew, also known as Level Seven, Level 7 or L7 was a hacking group that was in operation during the mid to late 1990s. It is rumored to have dispersed in early 2010 when the founder 'vent' was raided by the FBI on February 25, 2013.

Origins
Thought to have been derived from Dante Alighieri’s novel, The Inferno. The group called themselves Level Seven after the seventh level of hell, the violent.

Contained in some of the group’s web defacements, was the quote: "il livello sette posidare la vostra famiglia", which loosely translated from Italian says, "Level Seven owns your family".

The group, spent most of their time on IRC - in the EFnet channel #LevelSeven discussing security, or the lack thereof. The group was also associated with other high-profile hacking groups such as globalHell and Hacking For Girliez.

Notability
The hacking group was noted in Attrition's Top 20 most active groups of all time by claiming responsibility for over 60 unauthorized penetrations of computer systems in 1999 alone, including The First American National Bank, The Federal Geographic Data Committee, NASA and Sheraton Hotels.

Level Seven is also credited with being the first group to hack a .ma domain and server located in Morocco. The server was owned by the Faculté des Sciences Semlalia, Marrakech

However, the group is most widely known for the September 7, 1999 defacement of (The US Embassy in China's Website), in regards to the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings.

Level Seven typify a group of hackers who exploit or attack computers and networks for more than just the thrill and challenge, and for reasons other than money. During their era, they were activists, and they used their computer skills to make political statements and protest actions by government and industry. Thus, they bridged the realms of hacking and activism, operating in a domain that is now called "hacktivism".

Quotations
"I would be inclined to think that normal hackers would not be able to break into something like the US embassy. The security measures they use are very, very different to those protecting a commercial Web server." - Ian Jonsten-Bryden (British government security expert of Oceanus Security in Suffolk)

"We embrace technology, we learn from it, we use it, and we exploit it. Technology is a very powerful tool, as is knowledge, but some people go beyond these boundaries, testing limits, finding new ways and ideas... we call these people hackers, and we are one of many.." - vent, September 1999

Khong Island

Khong Island or Don Khong (ດອນໂຂງ) is the largest island and the seat of administration in the Si Phan Don riverine archipelago located in the Mekong River, Khong District, Champasak Province, southern Laos.

The island is 18 km long (north-south), and 8 km at its widest point. Its population is mainly concentrated in the two villages Muang Saen (west) and Muang Khong (east); the latter is the de facto capital of the island as well as the regional seat of government. There are 19 villages on the island and the main source of income comes from fishing.

The former President of Laos, Khamtai Siphandon, has a residence on the island, which is a possible explanation for the high quality of its infrastructure, such as asphalted roads and electricity. Locals tend to travel on longtail boats.
