Synch (comics)

Synch (Everett Thomas) is a fictional character and mutant superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Scott Lobdell, he first appeared in X-Men #36 (September 1994).

Publication history
Synch debuted in the midst of the "Phalanx Covenant" crossover (1994), in X-Men (vol. 2) #36 (September 1994), written by Fabian Nicieza and pencils by Andy Kubert.

Synch appeared as part of a new X-Men team in the "Reign of X" phase of the 2019 reboot of the X-Men line.

Generation X
Everett Thomas was born in St. Louis, Missouri. He was first introduced when the mechanical collective race known as the Phalanx had assimilated the X-Men and attempted to wipe out what was to be the next generation of mutant heroes: Husk, Jubilee, Monet, Skin, and Blink, all of whom, with the exception of Blink, would eventually become members of Generation X. Synch synced with Banshee, who was in the area, in order to defend himself from the Phalanx. However, as a side effect, he shattered all the windows nearby, which drew the attention of the local police. Even as they surrounded him, a few officers had already been infected by the Phalanx and again tried to capture Everett. He was saved by Banshee and Sabretooth, and then quickly helped them prevent yet another Phalanx attack on the White Queen and Jubilee, who had helped locate Everett. The White Queen linked her mind with Everett's and Jubilee's, which allowed Everett to synch with Jubilee and use her powers to a degree she had been afraid to, defeating the Phalanx for the moment.

This misfit band of heroes ended up saving the other kids who were captured by the Phalanx, and with the sacrifice of Blink, they escaped the menace. Following this, the kids were all relocated to the Massachusetts Academy where they would train to use their powers, receive a formal education, and act as Generation X, the next generation of X-Men, on the side. They were soon joined by new recruits Chamber, who had been invited by Charles Xavier, and Penance, a former prisoner of the mutant Emplate who had been liberated by Gateway.

Synch played a major role in many of Generation X's adventures, and was known for being both even-tempered and very resourceful in the growing use of his (and by extension, his teammates') powers. During one of Emplate's attacks, Synch fell under his thrall and became one of his vampire-like minions. This rendered most battle strategies against Synch useless, as he could use his teammates' powers against them without restraint, forcing them to employ more unconventional means.

Unbeknownst to Synch, his interactions with his female teammates created a romantic undertone. His strong bond with Jubilee, in particular, eventually led to her developing deep feelings for him. Synch never seemed aware of this and apparently did not feel the same way, due largely to a crush on Monet. For a time Synch was fixated on Gaia, who did initially seem just as interested in him. Shortly before a battle where the team could have died, Synch admitted to Monet he regretted never having a first kiss. Monet (who was being impersonated by her sisters Nicole and Claudette, unknown to Synch at the time) agreed to share one with him, which clearly left quite an impression on him, even once Nicole admitted the deception and the true Monet returned. Synch later began dating the true Monet after she admitted her feelings for him, but their relationship would be cut short by tragedy.

When Emma Frost's sister Adrienne Frost comes to America, she forces Emma to re-admit her back into the school. If not, Adrienne would release information to the parents of the normal students that the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters was a secret training ground for mutants. Later, Adrienne created mutant hatred amongst the human students in the school. When the parents of the non-mutant students heard that their children were going to school with mutants, they all rushed to take their children away from the academy, causing a riot. However, Adrienne had planted bombs all around the school. Banshee and Synch set out to deactivate all the bombs, while Emma and Adrienne brutally fought. Eventually, Emma pulled out a gun and shot Adrienne. Meanwhile, Banshee and Synch separated. Synch found a bomb and there were human students nearby. He synced with the nearest mutant, Monet. However, she was too far away, so he only received a portion of her powers, which was her super strength. Using all his might, he threw the human kids out of the room, saving them from the explosion. Unfortunately, he was not able to save himself, dying to save his human peers.

Resurrections
Synch is later resurrected by means of the Transmode Virus to serve as part of Selene's army of deceased mutants. Under the control of Selene and Eli Bard, he takes part in the assault on the mutant nation of Utopia.

Dawn of X
Synch was among the many mutants gathered on the island of Krakoa, after it was established as the new sovereign nation for mutants.

Some time later, Synch is assigned on a team with Darwin and X-23 to infiltrate the base of operations of the Children of the Vault.

Powers and abilities
Synch's mutant power equips him with a bio-energetic aura that allows him to duplicate the effect of the powers of any superpowered being in or out of his vicinity and sometimes the power itself, essentially becoming "in synch" with that person (or more specifically, their bio-energetic aura). When Synch uses his powers, a multicolored aura appears around his body, created by the energies he is absorbing splitting the ambient light around him. Synch seemingly had greater mastery of his mutant abilities than his peers, often displaying more control over whatever powers he copied than that person. For example, he was also able to utilize Chamber's powers to fly, something Chamber was never able to do. It had been theorized that in time, Synch would have been able to permanently retain any powers he acquired. However, he is not always able to synch with purely physical abilities or abilities that exceed his physical makeup. In House of M, he was able to retain powers permanently as a junior member of S.H.I.E.L.D. If Synch had not died, he could have become one of the most powerful mutants in the Marvel Universe.

After Synch's resurrection in Dawn of X, Cecilia Reyes noted that Synch's power no longer has a dormant and active state but that his Synchronistic field constantly seeks live connection to other power sets. Also, while before he seemed limited to mimicking only other mutants, he was found to now be able to copy powers from non-mutant sources as well.

Reception

 * In 2014, Entertainment Weekly ranked Synch 53rd in their "Let's rank every X-Man ever" list.

Age of Apocalypse
In the Age of Apocalypse, Synch was one of the many mutants killed in the war with Apocalypse. His death motivated Jubilee to join Gambit's band of mutant thieves, the X-Ternals.

Days of Future Past
In the Days of Future Past timeline, Everett became Jubilee's lover, and aided her along with the X-Men of that time to rebel against their oppressors.

House of M
In the House of M timeline, Synch was alive and a member of the junior S.H.I.E.L.D. division called "The Hellions", but was later killed during a battle with an alternate version of the Hellions, the New Mutants, and a Japan-based human resistance group founded by an alternate version of Laurie Garrison (Wallflower).

In other media
Synch makes a cameo appearance in X2 in Yuriko's computer files.

Patna Museum

Patna Museum is the state museum of the Indian state of Bihar. Founded on 3 April 1917 during the British Raj to house the historical artefacts found in the vicinity of Patna,  it is constructed in the style of Mughal and Rajput architecture, and is known locally as the Jadu Ghar. Artefacts from the ancient India era to 1764 have now been transferred to Bihar Museum.

The KP Jayaswal Research Institute (KPJRI) which carries out research in the field of history and archaeology also operates out of Patna Museum and was established by the Bihar Government.

History
The museum was constructed by the British to conserve and display the historical artifacts found in the vicinity of the state capital. The concept of having a museum arose in 1912, after Bihar and Bengal were separated. Patna Museum started functioning in 1915 from the commissioner's bungalow, on the campus of A. N. Sinha Institute.

The artifacts were then shifted to new rooms at the Patna High Court building before being taken to the present building in 1929. The land that was selected for the museum, in 1925, was on Patna-Gaya road (now Budh Marg). The two-storeyed building, designed by Rai Bahadur Bishnu Swarup, was completed in 1928. It was opened as the first museum of Bihar and Orissa Province by then Governor of Bihar and Orissa, Sir Hugh Lansdown Stephenson.

Collections
Items on display in the multipurpose museum include archaeological objects, coins, art objects, paintings, instruments, textiles, paintings, thankas, bronze images and sculptures and terra cotta images by Hindu and Buddhist artists. It has a rare collection of British-period paintings depicting day-to-day life, as well as a fine collection related to the first President of India, Rajendra Prasad. It also houses a World War I cannon.

The fossil of a tree said to be more than 200 million years old is on display, as is a casket — unearthed in 1958 by archaeologist, A. S. Altekar, at the Relic Stupa of Vaishali — said to contain the sacred ashes (relics) of Gautama Buddha. A Didarganj Yakshi statue, discovered on a Ganges riverbank in 1917, was the museum's most prized collection, which was later shifted to Bihar Museum. The artefacts from ancient India era to 1764 are kept in Bihar Museum and those of post-1764 period are kept at Patna Museum. Rahul Sankrityayan donated 10,000 manuscripts that are written in gold and silver on handmade papers and books on Buddhist philosophy that were once in the library of ancient Nalanda and Vikramshila universities. These manuscript were taken to Tibet dating back of around 700 years ago before the destruction of these universities. These manuscripts were brought by him. Beginning November 2009, a project was started to build a replacement museum in Patna to enable the display of larger collections.

Heritage tunnel to Bihar Museum
In January 2023, Government of Bihar appointed Delhi Metro Railway Corporation Ltd as consultant for the construction of a 1.4-km-long proposed subway (heritage tunnel) between Bihar Museum and Patna Museum. In August 2023, cabinet of Bihar Government approved the construction of heritage tunnel at the revised cost of ₹ 542 crore.

K. P. Jayaswal Research Institute
The K. P. Jayaswal Research Institute in Patna was established by the Government of Bihar in 1950 with the object of promoting "historical research, archaeological excavation and investigations and publication of works of permanent value to scholars". The institute is currently based out of Patna Museum.

Notable publications include:

 * Bindeshwari Prasad Sinha, Ed.: Comprehensive History of Bihar, Volume 1, Part 1 (1974)
 * Bindeshwari Prasad Sinha, Ed.: Comprehensive History of Bihar, Volume 1, Part 2 (1974)
 * S. H. Askari and Q. Ahmad, Ed.: Comprehensive History of Bihar, Volume 2, Part 1 (1983)

Orphaned references in Saran district
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Saran district's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Talk:Character encodings in HTML

External Link Suggestion
Would it be a good idea to add an HTML character typer/generator (such as http://multiz.com/characters.php) to the external links section? This could be helpful to users unfamiliar with HTML. I thought I'd run it by everyone before posting it. Mjas 18:16, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I began using Multiz.com's special character generator about a year and a half ago. It is the best and easiest Greek character typer I have found. As one who conducts a lot of research, and often needs special characters, I believe I can recommend this. Finding this type of Greek character typer though searches like Google is near impossible--after a lot of fruitless searches, I can confirm this. Anyway, this is a good link for Wikipedia to have. HistoryThD 15:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I believe there is one already: It's been there for over a year when I posted it.
 * An Interactive HTML Entities Tool

Previous Discussion
Is the character encoded by an HTML number the same character that is encoded by Unicode by the same number? For example, is character number 2343 in HTML the same as 2343 in Unicode? --Abdull 14:28, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * this was also posted at Talk:Unicode and HTML where it has been replied to, please post any further replies there. Plugwash 17:49, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

This page states that a numeric entity reference *always* refers to a unicode character code point. The w3c (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/charset.html) states that a numeric entity reference is a code point in the document's character set. This appears to be a contradiction and this page appears to be wrong. If this page is in fact correct, then this page may want to explain why the document's character set is Unicode. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.141.135.56 (talk • contribs) 23:08 UTC, 8 January 2007

 * In HTML, the document character set is always the Universal Character Set: "HTML uses ... the Universal Character Set (UCS), defined in [ISO10646]. ... The character set defined in [ISO10646] is character-by-character equivalent to Unicode ([UNICODE]).". However, many different encodings of the UCS can be used: UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO-8859-1, US-ASCII, SHIFT_JIS, and so on. Numeric character references always refer to the document character set, i.e., the UCS. The distinction between character set and character encoding is a bit tricky, so you're right, it could be explained better in the article. Indefatigable 21:39, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

“W3C vs HTTP” referenced info was stealthy removed
Let us discuss an edit of user Ms2ger. Because he forged the m label (for which I put him a formal warning), this controversial edit attracted no attention. But a crucially important reference to the W3C, which prove its disappointment in HTTP/1.1 charset detection, was removed without any compensation. Should we restore that piece of text, or let us write all article from scratch for the third time? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:37, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * No response in reasonable time – an edit partially reverted, I restored all voluntary removed information. Please, do not remove unless discussed here (for each paragraph in question), or use fact tag for statements which appear poorly referenced. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 09:12, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

HTML decimal(sic) character rendering
The "article" is a crappy backwater almost without inbound links. Its quality is better indicated by an evident misnomer in the title: there is no such term as decimal character reference, but there are numeric character references, and the essential word "reference" also was omitted. If nobody corrected this for 7 years, then it is apparently not needed to anyone. Let us merge the content which is not already here, and forget. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 16:33, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge to Numeric character reference, a near-duplicate of the topic, but this has almost nothing to do with character encodings and that would be an inappropriate merge target. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:41, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It is also a possibility. But I disagree that it "has almost nothing to do with character encodings" indeed – it discuss namely specific codes and their interpretation in HTML. BTW I presently noticed that this article is named "Character encodings in HTML", although "Character encoding in HTML" (singular) IMHO would be more appropriate. Not "different code pages and other types of plain text encoding applied to HTML", as the current title suggests, but "encoding of characters in HTML", in the broad sense. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 18:44, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

 * The use of character and entity references achieves the same thing as encoding, the transmission of Unicode characters, but it does so in quite a different way. The purpose of the character references is to identify the Unicode characters whilst still in a restricted encoding, such as plain ASCII.
 * If we were to merge the lot to "Encoding of characters in HTML" (which is already the scope Character encodings in HTML is using), then the risk is that is confuses these two quite distinct approaches, also that it nears WP:HOWTO.Andy Dingley (talk) 11:42, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Saint-Georges, French Guiana

Saint-Georges (Senjòrj; sometimes unofficially called Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock) is a commune of French Guiana, an overseas region and department of France located in South America. It lies on the Oyapock River (which forms the border with Brazil), opposite the Brazilian town of Oiapoque. The town contains a town hall, a French Foreign Legion detachment, and some hotels (the main ones being Le Tamarin, Coz Calè and the Chez Modestine). Saint-Georges has been one of the three sub-prefectures of French Guiana and the seat of the Arrondissement of Saint-Georges since October 2022.

History
Several short-lived colonies had been founded on the Oyapock River. In 1604, Charles Leigh founded Oyapoc for Great-Britain. After a mutiny, the colony was abandoned in 1606. In 1620, Roger North tried again, but was forced to abandon the colony in 1629. In February 1677, John Apricius founded a Dutch colony, and constructed Fort Orange. In June 1677, they were attacked by the French, and shipped back to the Netherlands. In 1723 or 1724, Fort Saint-Louis was constructed at or near the Dutch fort. In 1734, a Jesuit mission was established at Fort Saint-Louis. In 1744, they were attacked by Great-Britain, and the settlement was abandoned.

The town was founded on 23 April 1853 as a penal colony and named after a Dutch coin of Saint George which was discovered at the site. The camp was closed down in 1863. The discovery of gold in 1885 in the Camopi River revived the hamlet and the town was officially created in 1947.

The commune is one of the main settlements of the Palikur Amerindians. About 500 Palikur live in the commune. They live in neighbourhoods built specifically constructed for them in the main town, and the village of Trois-Palétuviers.

Climate
Saint-Georges has a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen climate classification Am). The average annual temperature in Saint-Georges is 26.9 C. The average annual rainfall is 3312.4 mm with May as the wettest month. The temperatures are highest on average in October, at around 28.0 C, and lowest in January, at around 26.1 C. The highest temperature ever recorded in Saint-Georges was 37.0 C on 22 October 2015; the coldest temperature ever recorded was 17.2 C on 8 November 1958.

Transport
An asphalted road from Saint-Georges to Régina was opened in 2004, completing the National Road 2 (RN2) from Cayenne (the préfecture and largest city of French Guiana) to the Brazilian border and ending the isolation of Saint-Georges. It is now possible to drive on a fully paved road from Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni on the Surinamese border to Saint-Georges on the Brazilian border.

Following an international treaty between France and Brazil signed in 15 July 2005, the Oyapock River Bridge was built, with construction completed in 2011. It was opened for use in March 2017. This bridge is the first land crossing ever opened between France and Brazil, and indeed between French Guiana and the rest of the world (there exists no other bridge crossing the Oyapock River, and no bridge crossing the Maroni River marking the border with Suriname). With the opening of the bridge, it is now possible to drive uninterrupted from Cayenne to Macapá (on the Amazon River), the capital of the state of Amapá in Brazil.

Saint-Georges is served by the Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock Airport.

Jim Jensen (reporter)

Harold Jens Jensen (November 13, 1926 – October 16, 1999), usually known as Jim Jensen, was a longtime American anchor and reporter, most notably at CBS' flagship station, WCBS-TV in New York City.

Background
Jensen, who was of Danish descent, was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and received a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Denver. then moved into broadcasting—first at WLIP-AM in Kenosha, then at WMBD-TV in Peoria, Illinois; and WBZ-AM-FM-TV in Boston.

Career
In November 1963, he was the "pool" reporter in Hyannis Port at the Kennedy compound in the aftermath of John F. Kennedy's assassination. His reporting was noticed by WCBS, who hired him in 1964. He soon became weekend anchorman and backup weekday anchor behind Robert Trout, who was doing double duty at the station and at CBS News. Jensen didn't take too long to make an impact, winning notice for his coverage of Robert F. Kennedy's Senate campaign soon after he arrived in New York. When Trout left for a network assignment in Europe, Jensen succeeded him as WCBS' main anchor. He was the face of the WCBS newsroom for the next three decades.

Jensen was known in New York for his booming, gravelly voice and deliberate demeanor, and was often thought of as a local version of Walter Cronkite. WCBS had gone back and forth with WNBC-TV for first place, but under Jensen became the dominant station in New York, a lead it kept for most of the time until the mid-1980s. He was also known for asking perceptive questions, even of his colleagues at the news desk. WCBS' reporters had to know their stories very well if their stories aired when Jensen was behind the anchor desk. They risked embarrassing themselves on-air if Jensen asked them a question that they could not answer. Over the years, his partners at the anchor desk – some of them New York broadcast legends in their own right – included Ralph Penza, Rolland Smith, Carol Martin, Michele Marsh, Warner Wolf, and finally Dana Tyler. He was reportedly the model for Jim Dial, Murphy Brown's co-anchor.

In 1988, Jensen's on-air demeanor was brought into question over an incident involving fellow WCBS anchor Bree Walker. After Walker wrapped a report on early detection of birth defects in children, Jensen began asking Walker personal, probing questions about her own deformities, broaching the possibility that Walker's parents might have aborted her had they known about her condition in advance. Shortly after the incident, Jensen, who had a drug habit for many years, sought rehab for depression, alcohol, cocaine, and valium addiction. His depression was related to the loss of his son Randall, a Williams College and Fordham Law graduate, who died in a glider accident in Ellenville, New York, in 1979. He was back at WCBS within a short time and traveled to Israel to cover the Gulf War in 1991.

In 1994, WCBS demoted Jensen to host of its Sunday morning public-affairs show. At that time, he had been WCBS' lead anchor for 29 years—longer than anyone in New York television history (a record surpassed by WNBC anchor Chuck Scarborough in 2004). The station's ratings had declined considerably, and management wanted new blood at the anchor desk. However, the decision and the manner in which the situation was handled caused a firestorm of criticism. The criticism increased when Jensen was forced to retire, in 1995, shortly after Westinghouse announced it was buying CBS. WCBS' ratings plummeted even further, and by the end of 1995 it had sunk into last place and remained there for more than a decade before recovering.

Death
Jensen died at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan on October 16, 1999, of a heart attack at age 72. Jensen was survived by his second wife, Rachel Gordon Jensen, three daughters, and a son.

Craig Neidorf

Craig Neidorf (born 1969), a.k.a. Knight Lightning, is an American editor. He was one of the founding editors of Phrack Magazine, an ezine.

In 1990. he was charged for fraud. Though later the charges were dropped. The case was a catalyst in the founding of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Prophet, a witness, admitted that he had never known Neidorf to break in to any computer. Also that no one in the Legion of Doom considered Craig a hacker.

Biography
Craig Neidorf studied at University of Missouri.

In 1985, Craig, along with Randy Tischler (aka Taran King), came up with the concept of Phrack and started publishing it since then.

In February 1990, Neidorf was arrested and was charged with fraud and interstate transportation of stolen property for stealing a confidential document, the E911 document, from the Bell South telephone company and with publicly distributing it in february 1989. BellSouth described the document, on the subject of the inner workings of the Enhanced 911 system, as being worth US$79,449.

The case became a controversial issue for the digital underground and Neidorf's defence was organised, not funded, by the fledgling Electronic Frontier Foundation. On 27 July 1990, the fourth day of trial, the case was dismissed. The charges were dropped when it was revealed that the document was not a source code but rather a memorandum and that it could be ordered from BellSouth by phone for $13.50. The proceedings are formally known as United States v. Riggs.

He was not found innocent though the trial was dropped. On September 9, 1991, he was granted motion for the "expungement and sealing" of his indictment record. Craig became determined to become a lawyer. In 2020, he was working as a researcher at Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Template talk:Lead too long

old talk
Whoever that is nominating this article for deletion should change their POV. This template should remind people that some article should be trimmed into multiple articles. --TheSamurai 03:44, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

deletion
Template:Toolong had been deleted "by consensus" on 03:03, 17 April 2005. See: Templates for deletion/Log/Deleted/April 2005

...
If we go past the issue of re-creating a previously deleted template... This is marked as a cleanup template, but this isn't really a cleanup issue, more like PNA. It's also semi-redundant given that we have the long page warning and verylarge. Should it be turned into a redirect? --Joy [shallot]   14:38, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * verylarge is for categories; verylong is for articles. -- Reinyday, 01:46, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Contradicting
This template is contradicting itself! Because when you put this template in front of the intro, you make the intro a lot longer and the table of contents will be harder to reach as before. So this template makes no sense at all. It makes the problem it wants to fix (and I support that, I dislike long intros myself), even worse!

So maybe it's better to: --Jeroen (talk) 17:25, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) remove this template, or
 * 2) put it only on the talk page, or
 * 3) make it invisible (so you still have the category) or very very short.

 * The problem with too-long intro sections is that they either repeat too much of the body (which is redundant) or that they contain material which belongs in the body but isn't there. It's a style issue, rather than an accessibility problem. As such, whether adding templates to an article pushes to TOC down or not is irrelevant, as the problem is with the article text itself. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 17:21, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Not categorizing?
I just added this template to the Acculturation article and it seems that it does NOT categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia introduction cleanup as stated in the documentation, but rather Category:Cleanup from July 2009 instead. -- œ ™ 22:40, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Fixed. Previously, the template was applied only to the "from date" cat if a date was specified. It now always adds articles to the intro cleanup whether a date is specified or not. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 00:58, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Currently?
Shouldn't it be current? Can't seem to see it when I try to edit the page though. Matt Adore (talk) 21:25, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

The template says "Place with the currently month and year..." - "currently" should be "current", but I cannot see how to amend it as when I try to edit the template I cannot change that text. Please sign. Matt Adore (talk) 21:33, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I see. I changed it a little differently. Is this good enough? Debresser (talk) 22:28, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

 * You can change it by pressing the "edit" which is at the right top corner inside the green box indicating the documentation. Debresser (talk) 22:29, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Since this template already links the relevant section at the MOS, there's no reason to push the ambiguous term "adequate number of paragraphs" into the template. Kinda looks like an attempt to find a backdoor since you're not getting your changes in through the front door. See also WP:CREEP.

Western Market

 * Western Market is also a former name for Plaza Miserere.

Western Market is one of the oldest structures in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. The current structure, built in 1906, was the North Block of the original Western Market. It is the oldest surviving market building in the city. The former South Block was demolished in 1981 and its site is now occupied by the Sheung Wan Complex.

Location
Western Market is located at 323 Des Voeux Road Central. The market occupies a whole city block and is surrounded by the following streets: Des Voeux Road Central (South), Morrison Street (East), Connaught Road Central (North) and On Tai Street (West).

Sheung Wan Complex, now called the Sheung Wan Municipal Services Building, the site of the former South Block, is located at 345 Queen's Road Central. It is surrounded by: Queen's Road Central (South), Morrison Street (East) and Bonham Strand (North).

History
Western Market came into business in September 1844. Western Market later consisted of two separate blocks: South Block (demolished) and North Block (the current "Western Market").

The South Block at Queen's Road Central was built in 1906. Vendors were evicted and moved to the Hollywood Road Temporary Market in August 1980. The Victorian period South Block was demolished thereafter and replaced by the Urban Council Sheung Wan Complex, opened in 1988. The Edwardian period North Block and the Hollywood Road Temporary Market were closed at this time and vendors were relocated to the new complex.

The North Block, smaller and more compact in design, was preserved and renovated by Land Development Corporation. This building, of the Queen Anne Revival style of the Edwardian period, was built in 1906 as an extension of the then existing Western Market. It was the former site of Harbour Office that had been moved to a reclamation area in Central District for a larger space to cope with its increasing workload. The old building of the Harbour Office was pulled down to build the North Block of Western Market.

It operated as a food market until 1988. The building was damaged during the construction of Sheung Wan station, and remediation works were undertaken afterward. Half the site was rezoned to facilitate a proposed widening of Morrison Street, which would have necessitated the building's demolition. In 1990, it was declared a historical monument and the renovated market building re-opened as "the Western Market" in 1991. Further refurnishment work was conducted in 2003.

Architecture
The four-storey building is in Queen Anne Revival style that was popular in the British Empire during the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods. The brickwork on the four corner towers is "bandaged", giving a polychromatic effect. It was blue, but was later painted red to suit the architectural style.

Tenants
Current tenants include:
 * Bavarian-style bakery
 * Chinese dessert shop
 * several curio shops

On the first floor there is a wide range of fabric merchants and cafés. The top floor is a restaurant with dancing and live music and a banquet hall used for weddings. On the footbridge next to Western Market are a few old pictures with explanations from times long gone.

Saül, French Guiana

Saül (Sayil) is a commune of French Guiana, an overseas region and department of France located in South America. It is the most sparsely populated commune of French Guiana.

It is very remote, surrounded by dense rainforest; because there are no roads to the town, it can only be reached via the Saül Airport. The village is located in the centre of French Guiana where springs give rise to three major rivers: the Mana, the Inini, and the Approuague.

The principal activities in the town are gold mining and trekking through the many rainforest trails. There is a tourist camp and a hotel in the town.

History
In 1910, Sahul from Saint Lucia arrived in the area and discovered gold. His discovery resulted in the establishment of the village of Saül whose population peaked at 800 people. Between 1930 and 1946, Saül was part of the Territory of Inini which did not provide education for its inhabitants. Saül was one of the first villages to receive a primary school. In 1952, a 150 kilometer track was constructed between Saül via Bélizon to the road leading to Cayenne by the Guinese Mining Bureau in order to develop the gold mine at Saül. The cost of the track was more expensive than the gold production which had started to decline, and was abandoned in 1960.

In 1962, the St. Anthony of Padua Church was consecrated. The church was declared a monument in 1993. The village had less than 100 inhabitants in the early 21st century.

Economy
Saül is situated in the Amazonian Forest and is not connected to any road system. Saül's economy is based on eco and scientific tourism. Tourists can reach the town by plane thanks to Air Guyane Express. In July 2008, the REXMA corporation made an application for a gold mining permit. Due to environmental concerns, the French Government postponed the decision in October 2008. On 26 October 2012, Arnaud Montebourg, the French Industry Minister, approved the permit. The Mayor and the council were shocked by this decision as they are promoting and living off eco tourism.

The inhabitants of Saül, the botanist Scott Mori, politicians such as Chantal Berthelot and José Gaillou, and many organizations like IUCN, Fédération Guyane Nature Environment and Rainforest Rescue protested against the decision to reward the permit. Opposition grew from the possibility that the mine would cause the partial destruction of the Guiana Amazonian Park and the decline of water quality.

Climate
Like most of French Guiana, Saül has a hot, humid and very wet tropical rainforest climate (Köppen Af) with a short dry season centred upon September and October when the Intertropical Convergence Zone lies furthest north.

James Murphy (electronic musician)

James Jeremiah Murphy (born February 4, 1970) is an American musician, DJ, singer, songwriter, and record producer. His most well-known musical project is LCD Soundsystem, which first gained attention with its single "Losing My Edge" in 2002 before releasing its eponymous debut album in February 2005 to critical acclaim and top 20 success in the UK. LCD Soundsystem's second and third studio albums, Sound of Silver (2007) and This Is Happening (2010) respectively, were praised by several music review outlets. Both albums have also reached the top 50 in the Billboard 200.

LCD Soundsystem was named one of Rolling Stone's New Immortals—"currently active (or relatively recently defunct) artists who [they] think will stand the test of time." In 2011, LCD Soundsystem announced they would disband with a final show on April 2, 2011 at Madison Square Garden. In the following years, Murphy continued to pursue other artistic projects – some music-related, others not. In early 2016, the band announced a reunion as well as an appearance at the 2016 Coachella Festival, with their fourth album American Dream and respective tour following afterwards in 2017. In May 2018, LCD Soundsystem was a headliner at All Points East festival in Victoria Park, London.

Early projects and influences
Murphy was born and grew up in Princeton Junction, New Jersey, and graduated from West Windsor-Plainsboro High School in 1988.

In discussing some of his influences and favorite music with Rolling Stone, Murphy cited the B-52's, the Fall, Yes, David Bowie and Can. He has also named Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), Bronski Beat and the Smiths as childhood favorites. Murphy was a member of Falling Man from 1988 to 1989, Pony from 1992 to 1994, and Speedking from 1995 to 1997. He was also the sound engineer for Sub Pop band Six Finger Satellite. (Former Six Finger Satellite member John Maclean is now on Murphy's record label as The Juan MacLean.)

Murphy attended New York University, where he was an English major but later dropped out. At age 22, Murphy was offered a job writing for the sitcom Seinfeld. He did not expect the show to be successful and chose to continue with music instead.

DFA Records
In the late 1980s, Murphy picked the name Death from Above after seeing a helicopter emblazoned with the slogan in the film Apocalypse Now. He has used this name for various projects over the years including as nickname for a signature PA set developed for Six Finger Satellite during the mid-90s. In 2000 Murphy engineered Northern Irish DJ David Holmes' album Bow Down to the Exit Sign and was introduced to the record's co-producer, Tim Goldsworthy (formerly of UNKLE). Goldsworthy and Murphy would DJ together on the Lower East Side, doing so with diverse genres of music. They went on to found DFA Records with Jonathan Galkin in 2001. The name "Death from Above" led to a dispute with a two-man Canadian band also using the same name. In response to a legal threat, the Canadian group changed their name to Death from Above 1979.

LCD Soundsystem
In 2002, Murphy started the electronic dance-punk band LCD Soundsystem, releasing a string of singles through DFA Records. The most successful of these initial singles was "Losing My Edge", which peaked at number 117 in the UK. The band released its self-titled debut album in 2005 to critical acclaim.

Sound of Silver
Murphy's second LCD Soundsystem album, entitled Sound of Silver, was released on March 12, 2007. In its aftermath, he quipped to Mojo: "You don't have to work very hard to write an article about us ... Just use the words 'unlikely frontman', 'bear-like', 'unshaven', 'Talking Heads', blah blah blah".

In October 2009, Pitchfork Media named the track "All My Friends" off Sound of Silver, the second best song of the decade, and a week later, the album was ranked at #17 in the "Top 200 Albums of the 2000s" list. He also has a CD in the Fabriclive CD series, Fabric Live 36, made in collaboration with LCD Soundsystem drummer Pat Mahoney, released in October 2007. In late 2008, Murphy announced he would play bass guitar in Free Energy, a classic rock band, with LCD Soundsystem drummer Pat Mahoney and friends Scott Wells and Paul Sprangers, although this was later refuted by Murphy as a misinterpretation.

This Is Happening and disbandment
In late 2009, Murphy moved into film scoring, writing music for Noah Baumbach's film Greenberg. The soundtrack was released on March 22, 2010. LCD Soundsystem's third album This Is Happening was released on May 17, 2010, in the UK and May 18 in the US. The album was recorded over the course of 2009 and early 2010 in the Mansion. In April, they released the single "Drunk Girls" with an accompanying music video directed by Spike Jonze. The album is dedicated to Jerry Fuchs (1974–2009), who had performed drums live with the band on occasion as well as having a big part with other associated DFA acts.

Murphy announced his retirement from LCD Soundsystem with the release of This Is Happening, and made his last television appearance under that name on February 14, 2011, on The Colbert Report. His last concert at Madison Square Garden was simulcast streaming on Pitchfork Media's website on April 2, 2011.

In July 2012, Shut Up and Play the Hits, a documentary film about Murphy and LCD Soundsystem's final concert, received a limited theatrical release in the US and subsequently in UK cinemas and on Blu-ray and DVD. The film follows Murphy over a 48-hour period, from the day of the band's final gig at Madison Square Garden to the morning after the show. The film also features intermittent segments from an extended interview between Murphy and pop culture writer Chuck Klosterman.

Reunion and American Dream (2015–present)
In October 2015, over 5 years after the band's third album, Consequence of Sound reported that "multiple sources" confirmed LCD Soundsystem's reunion in 2016 by headlining multiple "high-profile music festivals in the US and UK". The report was also confirmed by Billboard the same day, but quickly after these rumors, DFA Records label manager Kris Petersen denied the reunion of the band, with DFA co-founder Jonathan Galkin seconding the denial in a Pitchfork article.

However, on December 24, 2015, the band contradicted these denials by releasing a new single, "Christmas Will Break Your Heart". After the new single, on January 4, 2016, LCD Soundsystem confirmed that they would be headlining the 2016 Coachella Festival. On January 5, 2016, Murphy confirmed a new studio album, called American Dream, would be released in 2016, and that the band would make additional appearances. Murphy credits David Bowie for helping convince him to reunite LCD Soundsystem.

On May 4, 2017, Murphy announced two new LCD Soundsystem singles entitled "Call the Police" and "American Dream" were to be released at midnight, coinciding with their performance on Saturday Night Live. He also said that the album was nearing completion. American Dream was released on September 1, 2017, through DFA Records and Columbia Records.

Other projects
After the disbandment of LCD Soundsystem (between 2011 and 2015), Murphy pursued other artistic projects including remixing, producing, directing, and even developing his own espresso. Murphy stated that dissolving LCD Soundsystem made it possible for him to experiment with other projects: "So [these projects] [become] possible, which is incredible. I get to do all this crazy shit – and if I ever [want] to be in a band again, I can probably figure that out." He also noted how much time the creation of an album takes and that time can be spent doing other activities: "I wouldn't have a record coming out in April if I had done all [these projects]. It's impossible. And if I had a record coming out in April, I would have been fucking invisible for two years."

Britney Spears
In 2003, Murphy worked with the pop singer Britney Spears on her album In the Zone, but the collaboration was unsuccessful. According to Murphy, "It was very strange – we were both lying on the floor, head-to head, working on lyrics in a notepad. She seemed eager to please, but it went nowhere. She went to dinner and just never came back." A track from their collaboration was leaked online in 2006.

Reflektor
Murphy worked on Arcade Fire's fourth studio album Reflektor. A Win Butler interview conducted by Rolling Stone revealed that he thought of LCD Soundsystem "like New Order and the B-52's". He continued to state that Arcade Fire are influenced by bands that have also influenced LCD Soundsystem. A collaboration between Arcade Fire and Murphy had been intended since Arcade Fire's album Neon Bible, however time conflicts prevented such a collaboration. Though Murphy regularly stated in interviews that he "didn't do that much" to help Arcade Fire, he has said that he worked the most extensively on the song "Awful Sound (Oh Eurydice)".

Despacio
Together with David and Stephen Dewaele of 2ManyDjs, and engineer John Klett, Murphy designed Despacio: a formation of eight McIntosh speakers stacked to eleven feet. The idea for the system came from Murphy and the Dewaele brother's dissatisfaction with the evolution of DJ culture and how DJing has become more of a "show-spectacle-type scenario" and has departed from the days of people dancing in the dark with little attention to the DJ. The system is "designed for really immersive listening". The reason behind creating and performing with Despacio is to encourage DJs to implement a similar sound system, altering the course of DJ culture to its dance roots.

Subway Symphony
Murphy had attempted to change the sound of the New York turnstile beeps since 1999. Murphy described the turnstile sound as of 2014 as a "dissonant rubbing-Styrofoam-on-glass squeak" that is "horrible". Because the Metropolitan Transit Authority planned to update the system by 2019, Murphy proposed his turnstile plan that would have each turnstile harmonize with others by emitting three-to-five note sequences. Installing new sound chips will be an easier task during the renovations. Murphy claimed that the more pleasant sounds would also help people's attitudes toward taking the subway. He said people will "feel a nostalgia" for certain destinations when hearing its unique melody.

In June 2015, he partnered with Heineken to launch the project, branded as the "Subway Symphony". However, the MTA denied any possibility of the project happening, as the standard turnstile beep is a necessary ADA-compliant tool for the visually impaired.

2014 US Open Remixes
Collaborating with IBM, Murphy "remixed" the 2014 US Open matches. Murphy composed an algorithm that generated pieces from the sounds and occurrences, such as fault, point and ace for example, of the actual matches. Murphy cut moments from the pieces and created 14 remixes from them. The remixes were created in real time during the matches on US Open's website. The pieces are titled by their match number and are viewable on the website with visual accompaniment denoting points scored. The website categorizes the pieces by men's matches, women's matches and Murphy's 14 remixes.

David Bowie
On November 5, 2013, Columbia Records released The Next Day Extra, a three-disc expanded edition of David Bowie's album The Next Day. On the expanded edition, Murphy remixed the track "Love Is Lost". The title of the remix is "Love is Lost (Hello Steve Reich Remix)". When Murphy was offered to remix the track, he had not remixed a song in five years. He said "it would have been scary if it was a remix for somebody I had never even heard of, but it was super scary to do that [for Bowie]".

Murphy made a guest appearance on the Bowie's final album Blackstar as a percussionist.

"Little Duck"
Murphy participated in Canon's Project Imaginat10n, which called for five celebrities to direct short films based on pictures uploaded by people around the world to the Project Imaginat10n site. The result was "Little Duck", Murphy's first directorial effort. Ron Howard advised Murphy in his directing. Shooting took place in Japan, the setting of the film. The film follows a young man who travels from Manhattan to Japan in order to help solve his brothers' problems.

House of Good
In collaboration with coffee company Blue Bottle, Murphy created his signature coffee called House of Good. It was developed with help of Blue Bottle founder James Freeman.

LCD Soundsystem played their last show until 2016 on April 2, 2011, at Madison Square Garden. Both a documentary and a complete recording of the show were made''. Shut Up and Play the Hits'', directed by Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern, documents the highlights of the show and Murphy's actions after it. 11 cinematographers captured the entire near four-hour show from different angles in addition to three roof cameras. The concert footage is interwoven with scenes from Murphy's personal life, including an interview with writer Chuck Klosterman. The documentary screened at select theaters around the US for a limited time in 2012, and was later released in a DVD and Blu-ray form by Oscilloscope on October 9, 2012. The physical form consisted of three discs that contained the documentary and footage of the entire concert.

The Long Goodbye is an audio capture of LCD Soundsystem's show at Madison Square Garden. Murphy mixed the audio, which was different from its video counterpart "because the film is mixed for your eye and the record is mixed for your ears." Murphy has stated that the work into mixing the audio had been strenuous and "just murder". The Long Goodbye was released as a vinyl box set on record store day, April 19, 2014. It was later released on vinyl and digitally.

Lol Tolhurst, Budgie and Jacknife Lee
He recorded and sang two tracks for the album Los Angeles by Lol Tolhurst, Budgie and Jacknife Lee. He features on the title track, which was released as the lead single in late July 2023, and on "Skins", the closing track of the album.

Other projects
He recorded a song with Gorillaz and OutKast's Andre 3000, called "DoYaThing", for their Converse collection. It was released on February 23, 2012. He produced a song with Pulp called "After You". It was released as a present on Christmas Day 2012 to fans. Murphy also appeared in The Comedy with Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim.

Murphy was listed as a producer for Yeah Yeah Yeahs' 2013 album, Mosquito. He also wrote the musical scores for the Noah Baumbach films Greenberg and While We're Young.

Murphy and fellow LCD Soundsystem bandmember Nancy Whang collaborated with IDLES on the song "Dancer," released in 2023.

Reid Railton

Reid A. Railton (1895–1977) was a British automotive engineer, and designer of land and water speed record vehicles.

Biography
Reid Antony Railton was the son of a Manchester stockbroker: Charles Withingon Railton and his wife Charlotte Elizabeth (née Sharman), Reid was born in Chorley, Alderley Edge, Cheshire and was christened on 13 August 1895 at the local parish church. He was educated at Rugby School and Manchester University. He joined Leyland Motors in 1917 where he worked with J.G. Parry-Thomas on the Leyland Eight luxury car. He left in 1922 to set up the Arab Motor Company where he was chief designer. Only about twelve cars were built, of which two low-chassis cars survive. One is in the Isle of Man and the other one (chassis number 6, engine number 10, registration UW 2) is now in Austria having been rebuilt and rebodied by David Barker in the early 1990s.

In 1927, on the death of his friend Parry-Thomas, Railton closed the Arab factory and moved to Brooklands working for Thomson & Taylor becoming their Technical Director with responsibility for John Cobb's 1933 Napier Railton car which took the Outer Circuit record in 1933 and Sir Malcolm Campbell's Blue Bird Land Speed Record cars of 1931 to 1935. His greatest achievements were probably in designing the Railton Special car with which John Cobb set the Land Speed Record at 394.7 mph in 1947 and designing the E.R.A. racing cars built in 1933–34 at Thompson & Taylors at Brooklands. He also tuned the Hudson chassis used on the Railton car, named after him.

As well as cars he designed high-speed boats, including the jet-powered Crusader in which John Cobb was killed in 1952 while travelling in excess of 200 mph attempting to break the Water Speed Record.

In 1939 he moved to California to work for the Hall-Scott Motor Company. He died in Berkeley, California, in 1977 at the age of 82.

Sheila NaGeira

Sheila NaGeira, Sheila Mageila, Sheila Na Geira Pike, or Princess Sheila is a legendary 17th-century Irish noblewoman regarded in Carbonear, Newfoundland as an ancestor of the locally prominent Pike family.

Legend
The family legend first appeared in print in a 1934 article on Harbour Grace by William A. Munn. It states that Sheila lived in the early 17th century and was from the recently dispossessed Gaelic nobility in Connacht. Catholic education being illegal in Ireland, she was sent to France to a convent school where her aunt was abbess. On the voyage there or back her ship was captured, first by a Dutch warship, and then by an English privateer captained by Peter Easton on its way to Newfoundland. En route Easton's lieutenant Gilbert Pike and Sheila fell in love; they landed at Harbour Grace, were married by the ship's chaplain, and settled first in Mosquito (now Bristol's Hope) and later in Carbonear.

Munn's 1934 version states that Sheila and Gilbert's firstborn was "the first white child in Newfoundland", predating Nicholas Guy's son born in 1613 at Cupids. Other versions reduce the scope to first white child in Carbonear or the west coast of Newfoundland, or extend it to all of Canada or British North America (where Virginia Dare was reputedly born in Roanoke Colony in 1587). In the 1940s, the story was broadcast several times by Joey Smallwood's radio show, The Barrelman, and included in a school reader, spreading it throughout Newfoundland. In 1958, P. J. Wakeham self-published Princess Sheila, a novel based on the legend, which sold 5,000 copies by 1960 and was republished in 1987 as The Legend of Princess Sheila. Many post-1960 versions of the legend incorporate elements of Wakehams' novel, such as Sheila's death aged 105.

The Pikes became a large family in Newfoundland, and many with a Pike in their family tree claim descent from Sheila. Linda Duncan, MP for Edmonton—Strathcona, said in the House of Commons of Canada in 2009:
 * My family's roots, beginning around 1610 in Mosquito Point and Carbonear, were based on the shipping industry. My ancestor, Gilbert Pike, was a buccaneer. ... The most famous person in Newfoundland, Sheila NaGeira, is my ancestor.

Name
The given name Sheila is an anglicised spelling of the Irish name Síle (old spelling Sighile), itself originally a Gaelicisation of Celia or Cecilia which was later often equated with Julia. Sheila's second name is spelled Nagira in Munn's account. A baby girl in Carbonear was given the middle name Mageila in 1917 in honour of Sheila. All combinations of M or N with l or r are attested, while the middle vowel may be written i, e, a, ee, ei, or ie; together with the following r it may be pronounced, , , or  (respectively like ERRor, squARE, nEAR, or stARt). Two-word forms like "NaGeira" and "na Geira" are found.

In aisling poems, Síle Ní Ghadhra was a common name for Ireland personified as a woman in bondage awaiting a Jacobite rising. Eponymous examples are one written by Munster poet Tadhg Gaelach Ó Súilleabháin (1715–1795) and translated by James Clarence Mangan in 1849; another with the same metre translated by John D'Alton in 1831; and Ethna Carbery's Gaelic revival "Shiela ní Gara". Eugene O'Curry used the same personification in 1829 with reference to Catholic Emancipation. "Sheela na Guira", "Celia O'Gara", "Shillinaguira", and many other spellings, is a well-known Irish jig setting for the Ó Súilleabháin and D'Alton poems, attested from 1745.

"Ni Ghadharadh" (modern spelling Ní Ghadhra) is the feminine form of Ó Gadhra (O'Gara), surname of the chiefs of Luighne Connacht. Another "Sheela-na-Guira", or "Gillian Dwyer", was an O'Dwyer (Ní Dhuibhir) from Cullahill near Borrisoleigh in Munster, who ended centuries of family resistance to the Norman Burkes by marrying Walter Burke. Na Guira has also been interpreted as Maguire (Nic Uidhir, an Ulster name). In Maria Edgeworth's 1817 play The Rose, Thistle, and Shamrock, the English Miss Gallagher scolds Irish maid Biddy for combing her hair too roughly: "You ran it fairly into my brain, you did! you're the grossest! heavy handiest!—fit only to wait on Sheelah na Ghirah, or the like." Biddy is insulted, "though I don't rightly know who that Sheelah na Ghirah was, from Adam."

In 1978 Harold Horwood suggested that "Na-gaira" was not a surname but an Irish-language epithet meaning "the beautiful", and that Sheila's true surname was O'Conor, that of the Gaelic kings of Connacht. Hiscock suggests Horwood's "Na-gaira" is a misreading of mo ghile "my darling". A related elaboration of the legend is that Sheila's true name and lineage were kept secret in Newfoundland to avoid persecution.

Historicity
Scholars are sceptical of the story. Elements are common to folk traditions elsewhere in North America. From the 1960s, older locals recounted to folklorists versions heard in their youth in the early twentieth century; there is no evidence of earlier currency. An 1892 letter on "Sheela-na-Guira" in an Irish journal describes her as "daughter of the head of the Connaught O'Garas, and a celebrated beauty", without reference to Newfoundland or Pike. The first Pike recorded in Newfoundland is Thomas Pike at Carbonear in 1681. Ron Howell, chairman of the Carbonear Heritage Society, has written, "This lore of Sheila and Gilbert has no basis in recorded fact. ... It would give me great pleasure to know that someone discovered a credible, recorded, 17th or 18th century reference to either Sheila or Gilbert. I would suggest that anyone promoting the Sheila story note that it is folklore and not recorded history."

The putative grave of Sheila and Gilbert is on a site owned by the Pike family and descendants until acquired in the 1980s by the Royal Canadian Legion. In 1982 the Canadian Conservation Institute gave the faded inscription on the extant gravestone as follows:
 * Here lieth the body of John Pike, Sen. who departed this life 14 July 1753, aged 63. Also Julian his wife, died 14 June 174[?] Aged 69.

Commentaries
Philip Hiscock suggests that Smallwood valued the story as a foundation myth and its Catholic–Protestant marriage as "a metaphor for an unriven Newfoundland". Johanne Trew comments, "The gendering of the narrative is obvious: since the female Irish line is subsumed into the male English line, it is the English name/identity which remains visible."

Culture
Princess Sheila appears, crowned, on the coat of arms of the town of Carbonear. The local theatre is the "Princess Sheila NaGeira Theatre". A tourist information notice is at the site her putative grave. Besides Wakeham's novel, works based on the story include the 1955 poem "The Ballad of Sheila Na Geira" by L. E. F. English; the musicals Sheila Na Geira: A Legend of Love and Larceny (1997) by Chuck Herriott, and The Princess & the Pirate (1998) by Gordon Carruth; and the children's book A Newfoundland Adventure by Dawn Baker. The heroine of Margaret Duley's 1941 novel Highway to Valour is named "Sheila Mageila Michelet", while "Sheila nGira" in Patrick Kavanagh's Gaff Topsails (1996) draws deeper on the legend.

Toukley, New South Wales

Toukley is a town in the Central Coast region of the Australian state of New South Wales and is located within. It lies approximately 109 km north of Sydney and 54 km south of Newcastle via the Pacific Motorway (M1). It is located between Tuggerah Lake, Budgewoi Lake, and the Pacific Ocean. At the channel connecting Tuggerah Lake and Budgewoi Lake the new Toukley bridge was constructed between 1983 and 1985 linking Toukley on the eastern side of the Lakes system with Gorokan on the west, replacing the old two lane wooden bridge.

Toukley also provides various forms of accommodation to tourists including motels, caravan parks, holiday houses and lake cabins.

Name
The town was originally called Toukley Oukley, said to be the Aboriginal name for the place, meaning "rough and smooth". Settlers shortened it to Toukley soon after the town was founded, but it took until 1969 for the name to be officially changed.

History

 * 1856 – Edward Hargraves, who purported to make the first significant discovery of gold in Australia in 1851, purchased Robert Henderson's holdings and built "Norahville". Hargraves had many friendships with indigenous people of the area. Cattle were grazed as far as Buff Point and Elizabeth Bay.
 * Late 1850s – Chinese fishermen worked the Tuggerah Lakes area, in particular, what is now known as Canton Beach. While not confirmed, it is believed this is where the name is derived from. It was a base for catching and curing fish that were then shipped to Queensland, the goldfields and back to China.
 * 1891 – Toukley Public School founded.
 * 1903 – Lighthouse built at Norah Head after many vessels were wrecked in the area. It was the site of sea battles between the Japanese Navy and Merchant navy ships in World War 2: Three ships were sunk, Nimbin (1052 tonnes) by a mine on 5 December 1940 and the fishing trawler Millimumul sank with the loss of seven men on 26 March 1941 when it trawled up a mine as well as BHP's Iron Chieftain (4812 tonnes) by a submarine on 3 June 1942. The Age (4775 tonnes) was also attacked on 3 June 1942.
 * 1939 – The Toukley Bridge which joins Gorokan and Toukley originally constructed. It was replaced by the new bridge in July 1985.
 * 1950 – Grace and Kathleen Holmes, aged 18 and 11, were found murdered in a swamp near Toukley, NSW, in August 1950.
 * 2013 – Toukley is mentioned in the Housos episode "Tokyo"

Randolph Zane

Randolph Talcott Zane (August 12, 1887 – October 24, 1918) was an officer in the United States Marine Corps during World War I. He was awarded the Navy Cross and the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions while holding the town of Bouresches, France against an enemy force of superior numbers on the night of June 7–8, 1918. The United States Navy's USS Zane (DD-337) is named in his honor.

Early years
Randolph Zane was born on August 12, 1887, in Philadelphia. He was appointed a second lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps on January 6, 1909, and, a month later, reported for duty to the Headquarters, United States Marine Corps in Washington, D.C. After instruction at the Marine Officers' School, Port Royal, South Carolina, Zane joined the Marine detachment on the battleship USS New Hampshire (BB-25) at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, on December 27, 1909.

Detached from New Hampshire in the summer of 1911, Zane next served ashore at the Naval Prison, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, until December. Reporting to the Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C., on Christmas Day 1911, Zane became post quartermaster on January 1, 1912, and held the post until February 15, 1913.

Zane then saw temporary expeditionary service in early 1913, sailing from Norfolk, Virginia, with Company "I", 2nd Regiment, 2nd Provisional Brigade of Marines, on board auxiliary cruiser USS Prairie (1890) and disembarked at Guantanamo Bay on February 27. Reembarked in Prairie exactly three months later, Zane returned to Washington on June 2.

After subsequent shore duty at the Marine Barracks at Puget Sound, Washington, and at Mare Island, California, and sea duty in the armored cruisers USS South Dakota (ACR-9) and USS West Virginia (ACR-5), Zane joined the 4th Marine Regiment at San Diego, California, on December 29, 1914. He next served two more tours ashore — at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and at Quantico, Virginia, before he embarked in the transport USS Henderson (AP-1) on January 19, 1918, bound for France.

World War I
In 1918, with the United States having entered the fighting in World War I, now-Major Zane began his first tour of duty in Europe at the Bourmont, France training area, with the 6th Marine Regiment. He then went to the front lines, southeast of the famous battlefield at Verdun, where he remained from mid-March to mid-May. In command of the 79th Company, 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines, he moved with his unit to Vitry-le-François and then to Gisors-Chaumont-en-Vexin, where Zane and his companions received urgent orders sending them to the Château-Thierry sector.

Major Zane participated in the fighting in the vicinity of Belleau Wood, when the untried Marines came up against the 461st Imperial German Infantry, a unit that Colonel Robert D. Heinl called "the largest single body of combat-seasoned regular troops which Marines had confronted since Bladensburg" (1814). Zane took part in the second phase of the assault, when the 2nd Battalion 6th Marines and 3rd Battalion 6th Marines entered the wood, and remained in action through the entire period of fighting.

Zane was wounded and shell shocked on June 26, 1918. He never recovered from his injuries and died on October 24, 1918. He is buried at the Somme American Military Cemetery, Bony, France.

Distinguished Service Cross citation
"The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Captain Randolph Talcott Zane (MCSN: 0-3689), United States Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism while serving with the Seventy-Ninth Company, Sixth Regiment (Marines), 2d Division, A.E.F., in action while holding the town of Bouresches, France, on the night of June 7 - 8, 1918.

Talk:Celtic Otherworld

Since when is November 1 known as New Year's anywhere?! New Year's has run from December 25 to March 25 and between, but November 1?? GBC 14:35, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * See Samhain. That's (apparently) New Year's day in the Celtic calendar (not in the Christian one indeed). David [[image:Da Vit in Chu Nôm.jpg|23px|Da Vit]] 14:37, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Cleanup, Sourcing, Wikifying
I've made significant headway on this, but it could still use expansion and more Wikification. Right now the article mostly indicates Irish Otherworld beliefs, but the term is also used to cover some Welsh mythology. I'm wondering if this needs to be broadened a bit. --Kathryn NicDhàna 23:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, this needs to be expanded. The Otherworld is NOT just a Celtic phenomenon, and one could argue that there isn't just ONE of them either (Mag Mell isn't necessarily the same Otherworld as Tir na nOg, for example). The article needs to address the generalities of spiritworlds around the globe. What about Norse cosmologies? Australian Dreamtime? Animistic traditions all over? Chinese Folk Taoist worlds? Buddhist otherworlds? There are LOTS of non-Celtic Otherworlds. If this is specifically about Celtic Otherworlds, then it needs a different name, though I'm not sure what that should be. Graidan (talk) 14:57, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Then change the title, or accept responsibility for the fact that Wikipedia users have created the category "Otherworld," as Graidan's post indicates but does not acknowledge. Stop presenting opinions as taxonomic facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.177.71.172 (talk) 15:10, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Translation
I will translate the article in 3-4 days.

Fmercury1980 15:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

 * As this is the English Wikipedia, it is confusing and inappropriate to have all this text in Spanish on the English Wikipedia, therefore, I am sorry but I have to revert this. Please translate your proposed additions first, and then contribute.  Also, where are you importing this from?  Spanish Wikipedia?  Please do not just import another article but seek to work with what we already have to co-create the English article. Thanks, and I look forward to your contributions in English. --Kathryn NicDhàna (?•!) 20:55, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Orbis alia
Is this Latin translation of the term 'otherworld' from a particular ancient or medieval source? If so, it should be indicated. The earliest use I can find for the term is in Lucan's Pharsalia (I.454-8), though it's meaning there is a little obscure. I'm afraid my expertise isn't up to the job, but a section on terminology which notes other cognate Latin terms (such as alter orbis) might be a good addition to the article. ANB (talk) 18:44, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Merge
A merge request has been placed at Annwn, suggesting a merge here. I oppose such a merge; there is plenty that can be said specifically about the Welsh "Annwn".--Cúchullain t/ c 19:26, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

"Irish" mythology?
Surely the more accurate term would be "Gaelic" as the Scots share a Gaelic heritage and mythology with the Irish and the Gaels are technically speaking the predecessors of the modern Irish and Scots.

Should Tech Duinn redirect here?
This seems to be the main page where Tech Duinn is mentioned, so perhaps it should redirect here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.42.38.59 (talk) 20:20, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

The other option might be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donn ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.42.38.59 (talk) 20:24, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Inverse Tir na nOg?
I seem to recall reading a story (Scottish, I think) in Ellis's Mammoth Book of Celtic Myths and Legends where the hero travels to an Otherworld beneath the water (?), spends some time there (years?) and then comes back and finds that only a few minutes have passed in our world. My copy of the book is currently inaccessible to me, but has anything watching the page heard of such a story? I was a kid when last I read the book so I wouldn't have known if it was an RS, but if the story is an authentic old Celtic myth it definitely should be mentioned in this article.

Multiple names for ... the same Wikipedia article?

 * "In Irish mythology [the Celtic Otherworld] has several names, including Tír na nÓg, Mag Mell and Emain Ablach."

Um, doesn't that mean that Tír na nÓg, Mag Mell and Emain Ablach are synonyms, and should all redirect here? I note that Wikipedia is Not a Dictionary, so we should not have articles about each different name for one thing; nor especially is it a dictionary of old Irish. Policy on alternative names for a subject is to make them redirects, and to name those redirects in boldface in the lead section. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:13, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
