Phorusrhacos

Phorusrhacos is an extinct genus of giant flightless terror birds that inhabited South America during the Miocene epoch. Phorusrhacos was one of the dominant land predators in South America at the time it existed. It is thought to have lived in woodlands and grasslands.

Discovery and naming
Remains are known from several localities in the Santa Cruz Formation and Monte León Formation in Santa Cruz Province, of Argentina. Among the bones found in the strata of the Santa Cruz Formations (now considered as mainly of mid-Miocene date) was the piece of a mandible which Florentino Ameghino discovered in early 1887 and the same year at first described as that of an edentate mammal which he named Phorusrhacos longissimus.

The generic name is derived from Greek -φόρος, (-phoros), an element meaning "bearer" in word combinations, and ῥάκος, (rhakos), "rag" or "wrinkle", probably in reference to the wrinkled jaw surface. When the original derivation was no longer understood, other translations were given, such as the literal translation of "Rag-Thief", and "branch-holder" from the mistaken assumption the name had been intended to be derived from a Greek rhakis, "branch". The specific name means "very long" in Latin, again in reference to the lower jaws. The holotype is the mandible, specimen MLP-118 (Museo de La Plata). In 1889 Ameghino emended the name to a more grammatically correct Phororhacos but the earlier name has priority. In 1891, it was by him recognized to be a bird.

Description
Phorusrhacos had a skull nearly 65 cm long, stood nearly 2.4 m tall, and probably weighed nearly 130 kg, as much as a male ostrich. It had very strong legs, capable of running at high speed, stubby, flightless wings, a long neck, and a proportionately large head. This ended in a huge, hooked beak that could tear through flesh easily, or stab into prey. The lower jaw was smaller than the upper jaw. There were three toes on each of the feet, all of which were armed with sharp claws.

Classification
Phorusrhacos was part of the group called the Phorusrhacidae, which is an extinct group of flightless, cursorial carnivorous birds that occupied one of the dominant, large land-predator niches in South America from the lower Eocene to the Pleistocene. They dispersed into North America during the Great American Biotic Interchange (~3 Ma). Some remains from Africa and Europe and the Paleocene of Brazil have been referred to this clade or identified as phylogenetically related to the extant South American seriemas, but these assignments remain controversial.

The following cladogram follows the analysis of Degrange and colleagues, 2015:

Argento Soma

Argento Soma (アルジェント ソーマ) (stylized as ΑΠΗΕΝΤΟ ΣΟΜΑ) is a Japanese anime TV series produced by Sunrise. It aired on TV Tokyo from October 6, 2000, to March 22, 2001, with the final episode, releasing direct-to-video.

The anime was originally licensed by Bandai Entertainment in North America before going out of print in 2012. Following the 2012 closure of Bandai Entertainment, Sunrise announced at Otakon 2013, that Sentai Filmworks has rescued Argento Soma, along with a handful of other former BEI titles.

Plot
In an effort to learn more about metallic aliens that have been plaguing the planet for several years, Dr. Noguchi and his assistant, Maki Agata, try to bring to life a construct pieced together from several destroyed aliens. They recruit into the project Takuto Kaneshiro, Maki's boyfriend at the college they both attend, because of his talent for metallurgy. While Takuto is unhappy with Maki keeping secrets from him again, he reluctantly helps with the project. In the process of reviving the monster that Dr. Noguchi has aptly called Frank (short for Frankenstein's monster), unidentified soldiers invade the MORGUE facility and cut the power. This causes a power surge that brings Frank to life and causes an explosion that kills everyone in the facility except Takuto.

A mysterious man who calls himself "Mr. X" visits the emotionally and physically scarred Takuto in the hospital with a special offer: Takuto can have a chance at vengeance on the monster he blames for killing Maki and destroying his life if he joins FUNERAL, the organization dealing with the aliens. Takuto accepts the offcer; months later, he is "reborn" as military pilot Lieutenant Ryu Soma. In the meantime, FUNERAL eventually recaptures Frank (who escaped after the explosion at MORGUE); the organization soon discovers that Frank is the best weapon FUNERAL has to defend against the aliens. This leaves Ryu torn between revenge for the death of Maki and the desire to protect his comrades and the planet. Further complicating the picture is a young girl named Hattie (Harriet), the only person that can communicate with Frank, who bears a striking resemblance to Maki. As FUNERAL learns that Frank is more than a simple monster, Ryu and his comrades must come to terms with questions of human identity, grief, and loss.

New Country Y-107

New Country Y-107 was a radio station simulcast on as many as four FM stations all on 107.1 MHz around New York City. Airing a country music format, the stations targeted a primarily suburban audience. Owned by Big City Radio, New Country Y-107 broadcast from 1996 to 2002; the simulcast then flipped to contemporary Spanish music as "Rumba 107" before being broken up after it was sold in 2003. The station was based at the headquarters of Big City Radio in Hawthorne, New York, moving to Manhattan in 2001.

Stations
New Country Y-107 debuted on three stations, later expanded to four in 1998.

Building the quadcast
On December 5, 1996, two stations on 107.1 MHz recently purchased by Odyssey Communications, alternative-formatted WRGX—licensed to Briarcliff Manor, New York, and serving Westchester County—and WZVU, a rock outlet in Long Branch, New Jersey, became a simulcast of a country music format. They were joined a month later by WWHB in Hampton Bays, New York, which had simulcast WNEW-FM in New York City. The design of the network—with transmitters ringing New York City but not actually covering the urban core—was intended, as it matched the distribution of country music listeners in the area, who mostly lived in the suburbs; it had come about because the market had been without a country station for most of the last year, after the sale of what was WYNY (103.5 FM).

Six months after launching, New Country Y-107's stations received more fitting call letters: WRGX became WWXY, WZVU became WWZY, and WWHB became WWVY. In December 1997, Odyssey Communications changed its name to Big City Radio and became a publicly traded company.

The station was strongest in suburban areas. In 1998, it ranked 25th overall in the New York City metro; in the embedded market of the Jersey Shore, it ranked third. New Country Y-107 doubled the ratings of the next most listened-to station in Rockland County within a year of its debut. The return of a country music station helped increase interest in country concerts and events; in 1998, the Country Music Expo in Edison returned after skipping 1997, as it now had a way to promote itself.

In 1998, Big City Radio spent $3.65 million to purchase a fourth station on 107.1: WRNJ-FM, located in Belvidere, New Jersey, which served the Lehigh Valley to the far west. Unlike the other Y-107 stations, WRNJ had been a country station prior to its acquisition by Big City. Renamed WWYY, its addition formed a quadcast. The WYNY call letters were added to the simulcast on the Briarcliff Manor transmitter in December 1998. These call letters had been first used in New York City radio in 1977 at 97.1 MHz and had been associated with country music on 97.1 and 103.5 MHz until 1996.

Financial problems at Big City Radio
In November 1999—as the company struggled to raise its share price and its strategy of using multiple signals to cover a large market had not panned out as anticipated—Big City Radio's founder, Michael Kakoyiannis, resigned. He was replaced by Charles Fernandez of Heftel Broadcasting, a station group that primarily targeted Hispanic audiences, and the company merged with Fernandez's Hispanic Internet Holdings. The company announced plans to change its other "Y107" network, in the Los Angeles area, to a Spanish-language format, though New Country Y-107 would be left untouched. The station, however, continued to struggle, as its four transmitters did not provide the type of clear coverage that one New York City station could.

Big City's financial problems, however, continued to grow. In 2001, the company dismissed its program director and morning show host for "economic reasons". As other Big City stations changed to Spanish-language formats, speculation mounted that New Country Y-107 would be next. That October, Big City Radio moved the studio operation from Hawthorne to Manhattan.

From country to Rumba
In late April 2002, it was finally announced that New Country Y-107 would leave the format, and the station's air staff began saying their on-air goodbyes. On May 8, it made way for "Rumba 107.1" and became a Spanish-language contemporary hit radio outlet.

The format change did not improve Big City's increasingly dire financial position. In November 2002, the company retained a broker to shop the quadcast and its other properties for sale. The stations were sold in 2003 to Nassau Broadcasting Partners for $43 million. When the deal took effect, Nassau broke up the quadcast.

Nassau ended up retaining only the Lehigh Valley station, WWYY. Jarad Broadcasting acquired the Long Island station, which became WLIR-FM; WWZY in New Jersey was sold to Press Communications for $20 million; and Pamal Broadcasting leased and then bought the Westchester County station, converting it to a simulcast of its WSPK in Poughkeepsie before returning it to its own station.

Nestor Kukolnik

Nestor Vasilievich Kukolnik (Не́стор Васи́льевич Ку́кольник) (1809–1868) was a Russian playwright and prose writer of Carpatho-Rusyn origin. Immensely popular during the early part of his career, his works were subsequently dismissed as sententious and sentimental. Today, he is best remembered for having contributed to the libretto of the first Russian opera, A Life for the Tsar by Mikhail Glinka. Glinka also set many of his lyrics to music.

Family background
Nestor Kukolnik was born on 8 September 1809 in the city of Saint Petersburg in the family of a professor lecturing at the Saint Petersburg Teacher's College. His father, Bazyli Wojciech Kukolnik, belonged to the ethnic group of Rusyns (Ruthenians) and came from an old noble family. Graduate of Vienna University, he lectured at Poland.

In 1804, Bazyli Wojciech Kukolnik was invited to teach in Russia along with professors Ivan Orlay (Orlay János) and Mikhail Balugjanskij. Among his pupils were Grand Duke Constantine Pavlovich of Russia and Grand Duke Nikolai Pavlovich of Russia, the future emperor Nikolai I of Russia; Czar Alexander I of Russia granted Vasily Kukolnik an estate in the Vilno Oblast and was Nestor Kukolnik's godfather at his baptism.

Early life and studies
Nestor studied at the Nizhyn Gymnasium of Higher Sciences (present-day Ukraine), founded earlier by Nestor's father. Nikolai Gogol studied at the same institution and they both played at the school theater. Kukolnik's literature activity started in gymnasium, where he wrote his first verses and dramas. After graduating from Nizhyn Gymnasium in 1829, he gave lessons at Vilnius Gymnasium, and, in 1831, moved with his brother Platon Kukolnik to Saint Petersburg, where he served at the Ministry of Finance.

Literary activity
In 1833 Kukolnik's first play “Tortini” was published by Faddei Bulgarin, soon followed by fantasy drama “Torcuato Tasso”, which resulted in his reputation as a legendary playwright in the capital. The turning point in his literary career came in 1834, after demonstration of patriotic drama "Ruka Vsevishnego Otechestvo Spasla" (The God's Hand Saved The Motherland), applauded by the Russian Emperor Nicolas I at the play's premiere. Inspired by this success, the writer produces historical play “Prince Mikhail Vasilievich Skopin-Shuysky”. In 1836 he founded The Gazette of Fine Arts (Khudozhestvennaia gazeta) which was published in Saint Petersburg until 1842 and wrote more than two hundred articles on art.

Kukolnik's oeuvre is diverse. He experimented with multiple genres and formats: novels, historical tales, criticism, poetry and even music. He was a friend of Mikhail Glinka, who to set some of Kukolnik's verses (Hesitation, Skylark, and Passing Song, among others) to music. Dizzy from his success, he proclaimed that there were only three geniuses in Russia - himself as a writer, Mikhail Glinka as a composer, and Karl Briullov as a painter.

Resignation and later life in Taganrog
In 1857 Nestor Kukolnik resigned and settled in Taganrog. There he continued his literary activity, but the public work played the key role of his life in that period. Nestor Vasilievich did a lot of work for education of Taganrog's society. It had an influence on the destiny of the city, making it into the centre of education in the South of Russia.

Nestor Kukolnik was the first to prove the need of university education in the Don Voisko Province and on Azov Sea. His offer to open a university in Taganrog was not successful, but later it proved to be an important foundation for opening the Novorossiya University in Odessa (1865). Kukolnik also proved necessity of local newspapers. It was one of the reasons to open newspaper-publishing houses not only in Taganrog, but also in Odessa and Rostov on Don. Since 1865 Nestor Kukolnik led the workgroup that proved necessity of a railroad line from Kharkov to Taganrog. This work was a success and the Tsar Alexander II of Russia approved the project in 1868. He also was the first to raise the issue of environmental protection of the Gulf of Taganrog. But the related project encountered strong resistance from regional leadership and was not realized. Nestor Vasilievich assisted in opening the county court in Taganrog, open soon after his death in 1869.

Kukolnik died unexpectedly in Taganrog on December 8, 1868, when he and his wife were getting ready to go to the theatre. The writer was buried in Taganrog in his own estate.

In 1931 the remains of Nestor Kukolnik and his wife were defiled. Searching for jewelry, robbers opened the graves and threw away the remains. Unfortunately, it was not the only case of violation. In 1966 the city administration signed a decree and allowed the Public Joint-Stock Company “The Taganrog Boiler-Making Works “Krasny Kotelshchik” to build additional industrial areas on the territory of Kukolnik's estate. All the works started two years later, in 1968. Bulldozers razed to the ground Kukolnik's house and mixed his grave with mud and debris. The remains of the great Russian writer have been lost forever.

In 2008 within the framework of the writer's 200th birth anniversary, one of the streets in Taganrog was named after Kukolnik.

.

Trivia
The word "kukolnik (кукольник)" is Russian for "puppeteer" or "puppet-maker".

In Dostoyevsky's novel Demons, the character of Varvara Petrovna Stavrogin uses Kukolnik (as portrayed in Briullov's portrait above) as the model for her idealized presentation of Stepan Verkhovensky.

Biagio Rossetti

Biagio Rossetti (c. 1447 – 1516) was an Italian architect and urbanist from Ferrara. A military engineer since 1483, and the ducal architect of Ercole I d'Este, in 1492 Rossetti was assigned the project of enlarging the city of Ferrara.

Rossetti is considered the first architect in the history of urbanistics to make use of the advantages of the modern methods: balancing the humanistic principles in architecture, the real needs of the city, and local traditions. Beginning in 1492, he projected and directed construction of the defense walls around the city. The Diamond Palace is perhaps the most famous of his buildings.

After Ercole's death in 1505, Rossetti served the Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, in which role he was responsible for the creation of many notable palazzi and churches. Among the latter, he helped design Santa Maria in Vado.

Talk:Lay brother

Untitled 2005
My understanding was that post Vatican II, the Lay Brotherhood was essentially eliminated as a seperate vocation; while there are a few 'leftovers' around, no new lay brothers are accepted, the roles that they previously filled being passed either to ordinary monks or to the general lay community. The article states that there are lay brothers present in every branch of Catholic monasticism as though it were current practice; I think that this may be a hold-over from outdated text incorporated from the public domain Catholic encyclopedia. Would anyone care to clarify this? --Clay Collier 11:45, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Untitled 2007
The info printed in this article is from the 1913 edition of the Catholic Encyclopedia and is VERY outdated! The majority of verbs in the present tense need to be changed to the past tense, in order to express that lay brothers and lay sisters were a part of past history. Religious Brothers do still exist, even entire orders (non-ordained male religious), but this article does not explain their unique vocation. A Brother is no longer viewed as some type of second class manual worker, or someone who failed his studies for the priesthood. This article desperately needs to be revised! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.131.5.129 (talk) 00:27, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Untitled 2008
--Punahou academy? Huh? Can someone with more knowledge check if this is an act of vandalism? It doesn't sound right to me.87.198.195.156 (talk) 18:35, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Eastern Orthodoxy?
The article states that the institution of lay brotherhood exists in Eastern Orthodoxy as well as Roman Catholicism, but does not actually discuss examples of the former. And I am not aware of any such distinction in Orthodox monasticism, at least not formally, though at least one scholar think that the distinction between the Small Habit and the Great Habit was developed in part to reflect some such distinction in practice (Karl Holl, Enthusiasmus und Bussgewalt beim griechischen Mönchtum, a classic work but dated -- late ninetheenth century). --Horatio325 (talk) 11:01, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Same thing as religious brother
This page shouldn't exist. It only cited one source, from more than a century ago, that used outdated terminology in reference to what is today usually called a religious brother. That page already exists and has more or less the same information contained in this article. My deletion tag was opposed, so I've added a number of sources to the lede that show there is no distinction in modern terminology between lay brothers and religious brothers. natemup (talk) 12:03, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Mental poker

Mistake in the first shuffling algorithm?
Hello, I've noticed something that looks like an omission by the author of the section. If Bob gets the deck from Alice in point 4, he truly does not know which card is which. But Alice does. If they're to provide keys for decrypting, say, card 10 later, how would a player know that the card they're holding is #10 (if the deck is encrypted mutliple times)? And if so, can't Alice simply map the number-card relations and cheat since she is the only person to see the unencrypted deck? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.189.30.104 (talk) 22:41, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Collusion
Hi - is it possible to design a system where, to help prevent cheating, some centralised agency (e.g. the Poker Room) gets sent all the encryption keys after the hand is dealt, so that it can investigate any possible collusion? Would this be possible? Evercat 11:46, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Doesn't that defeat the point? If there is a trusted centralised agency, couldn't it do the shuffling and dealing of cards. 157.161.173.24
 * I don't think a central agency could prevent all forms of collusion, since players can communicate with each other by different means and e.g. show each other their hands and work together to defeat another. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A457:9497:1:3022:EC23:A7E7:F446 (talk) 11:46, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Where's Shafi?
The whole concept of "mental poker" was invented by Goldwasser and Micali. I'm surprised she isn't credited in the text. I'd also expect to see at least some mention of Oded Goldreich (Weizmann Kavod).

69.250.225.1 (talk) 03:31, 12 June 2019 (UTC) No, Mental Poker was invented by Shamir, Rivest and Adleman.

Commutative encryption?
Which encryption schemes are commutative, besides RSA with identical moduli? Because I heard there was an attack against using RSA to encrypt two messages with two different moduli. --Zemylat 16:04, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

2 possible cards (heck why not 52) packaged as 1 card, when 'A' key is sent it unencrypts the card of choice from the host who initialy encrypted... Same thought occurred to me, anyone have any references on such code? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.2.147.222 (talk) 06:01, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Question
Doesn't this algorithm have the weakness that Bob has no way of knowing if Alice replaced the deck with one that contains duplicate cards, say to increase the odds of picture cards etc. There would need to be a step at the end that decrypted all of the cards to ensure that no alterations had been made to the freqencies of the cards in the deck by the first encryptor. Another possible problem would be for the final shuffler to replace the cards that would be dealt to him with plain text cards, since he has the right to see them from the beginning, he can request the keys to decrypt them, but throw them away. I suppose again this would be solved by insisting that every card in the game is decrypted at the end so that everyone can check that the deck wasn't modified. This way, at least you'd be sure of knowing if someone cheated.Kybernetikos 09:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Duplicate plain-text cards would result in duplicate encypted cards. Easilly detectable.

 * Replacing cards would result in Bob getting big errors when trying to decrypt his dealt cards. Also I think I remember that there are ways of checking cards with zero-knowledge proofs... but of that I'm not certain... crypto experts will have to answer that one. --J-Star 10:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Not impressed with the Golle paper
Very hand-wavy about actual performance. It gives the time for setting up Millimix (the comparison baseline) as 6300 modular exponentiations. On modern hardware, Intel boasts of a Fast and Constant-Time Implementation of Modular Exponentiation that achieves a 512 bit modular exponentiation in 500,000 processor cycles, giving a Millimix latency of 3 billion processor cycles (circa 1 second) running on a single Nehalem core. The Golle paper improves the setup time by a factor of six.

The setup latency is an issue only when the players first join. Setup for a subsequent deal involving the same players can run in parallel with game play. Reading between the lines, the Golle result presumes a very high level of player thrash. When I've played online poker, often there is a mandatory one minute wait after the game is joined before the first deal. Only very modest hardware would struggle with this. One hesitates to imagine what a modern video card could achieve.

I don't think the article provides a proper frame of reference / perspective on actual cost in the real world. — MaxEnt 00:10, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Actual performance
As above, I don't think the article provides a proper frame of reference as to real-world costs. In particular, this sentence: "To date, mental poker approaches based on the standard Alice-Bob protocol (above) don't offer high enough performance for real-time online play." doesn't seem very correct. I've done a simple test available at github using a shuffling protocol from libTMCG, and for 2 player Texas Hold'em it takes about 3.5 seconds on a modern processor while transmitting 160kB of data each way - so that's DEFINITELY high enough performance - I don't think anyone would mind 3.5 seconds for a shuffle. Uukgoblin (talk) 12:14, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Shuffling the deck by hand, riffling and cutting several times, usually takes me a minute or two and even that is acceptable since an actual card game tends to take much longer. So if libTMCG's implementation is correct, performance is no problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A457:9497:1:3022:EC23:A7E7:F446 (talk) 11:27, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Questions
‘Alice picks one encryption key for each card (A1, A2, etc.) and encrypts them individually.’

To me as a layman it isn't clear why this is done. This may be because I'm unfamiliar with the precise properties of the encryption algorithm used.

I think there's also a problem that cannot be solved, but that still deserves a mention: in a four player game, three players could secretly team up against one. I know it seems a bit obvious, but I think it must be stated explicitly.

This system as described in the article can deal open cards and closed cards that are visible to only one player. I haven't looked into this thoroughly but I imagine it might also be capable of dealing with exchanges and discards. Are there any standard card game actions that the system cannot cope with?

The article mentions that each card gets an individual encryption key from each player. So when a card is dealt and Alice needs to decrypt it so Bob can view it, how does Alice know which key to use given that it looks like indecipherable gibberish to her?

If a card needs to be discarded in a game variant and other players have no knowledge at all about each other's cards, from my cursory reading of the article it seems this is possible. But what if a game variant is played where sometimes a card has to be shown to another player? Is it possible for a player to discard a card without other players being sure if it's the known card or not?

In a game played with two decks, if Bob takes a card from Alice and then several turns later Alice takes a card from Bob, how can we prevent Alice from knowing whether it was the particular card she lost earlier and not its duplicate given that Alice uses a different encryption key for each card? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A457:9497:1:3022:EC23:A7E7:F446 (talk) 11:40, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Slovenian hip hop

Slovenian hip hop refers to hip hop within Slovenia.

History
According to some accounts, the roots of Slovenian hip hop can be traced back to 1978, but all rappers from that time were forgotten or disappeared. What remains of this early history is preserved in little-circulated album releases. The mid-1980s were marked as the breakthrough of rap music in Slovenia. Hip hop dancing in Slovenia is sometimes called "Čefur" dance (derogatory term for non-Slovenian South Slavic people). Ali-En released the first rap album, that immediately became a classic, in 1994.

In 1997, rap duo Dandrough released Ko pride Bog ('when God comes'). The next few years there was a small hole in the hip hop scene, with only a couple of albums released up until 2000. Hip hop culture was heavily popularized by Slovenian Olympic champion skier Jure Košir, who also released an album Kartelova teorija (eng: cartel theory) with his crew Pasji Kartel (eng: Dog Cartel) in 1998. Klemen Klemen released one of the most influential mainstream Slovenian  hip hop albumsTrnow Stajl (eng: Trnovo Style) on Menart Records. At about the same time, Radyoyo: Za narodov Blagor - 5'00" of fame, the first compilation of Slovenian hip hop music was released, including various new and unknown rappers on the scene.

In 2001, the first Slovenian freestyle rap championship was organized, launching rapper 6pack Čukur, who placed 2nd, into the mainstream. The competition became a tradition and has been held every second year since then. The next year rap duo Murat & Jose released V besedi je moč, which became one of the most successful rap albums in Slovenia and Southern Europe. The following year's freestyle championship spawned 2 champions - Trkaj, an alternative rapper and N'toko - who both went on to release albums through Nika Records.

The most productive years for Slovenian hip hop were 2004–2006, spawning more albums than all years before that together. Though the quality oscillated from album to album, mostly because of the unofficial releases - noting that the demo scene produced better tracks.

Prince Monolulu

Ras Prince Monolulu (26 October 1881 – 14 February 1965), whose real name was Peter Carl Mackay (or McKay), was a horse-racing tipster, and something of an institution on the British racing scene from the 1920s until the time of his death. He was particularly noticeable for his brightly coloured clothing; as a tipster, one of his best known phrases was the cry "I gotta horse!", which was subsequently the title of his memoirs.

Family background and early life
Monolulu claimed to be a chief of the Falasha tribe of Abyssinia, but in reality he was born in St Croix, Danish West Indies (now part of the United States Virgin Islands). His baptism (as Peter Carl McKay) is noted in the records of the English Episcopal Church of the Danish West Indies. His father, whose name is not shown in the register, was William Henry McKay and his mother was Catherine Heyliger. His father and brothers were horse breeders, raisers and racers on St Croix.

According to his own account, he made his way from his birthplace to the African coast, where he was shanghaied on board a British ship: he styled himself a prince in the hope of receiving better treatment. His ship was subsequently shipwrecked on the Portuguese coast, from whence he made his way to New York. More plausibly he travelled to New York via Puerto Rico. He had various jobs, on shore and at sea, and eventually reached London in 1902.

Career as tipster
Monolulu first went to The Derby in 1903, and soon began to establish himself as a tipster. He adopted colourful robes, a plumed headdress, and the slogan "I've gotta horse!", sometimes alternating with "Black man for luck!". However, he also continued to travel around Britain, and around Europe, for example visiting Saint Petersburg with an American "negro show". He was in Königsberg when World War I broke out, and was held in Ruhleben internment camp, near Berlin, for the duration of the war. He returned to London in 1919.

Great Yarmouth resident Maud Swallow remembered Prince Monolulu at Great Yarmouth Racecourse. "I thought I was placing a bet on a horse but my father told me afterwards that I had actually bought a tip from Monolulu instead of placing a bet".

Monolulu rose to prominence after picking out the horse Spion Kop in the 1920 Derby, which came in at the long odds of 100–6, and from which he personally made some £ 8,000, a vast amount of money at the time, equivalent to £ 400,000 in 2020.

Personal life
Monolulu claimed to have been married six times, though only five marriages are documented at all, and reliable evidence exists for only three. He claimed to have been married first in a Jewish ceremony in Moscow in 1902, to a girl who was afterwards taken away by the police; and second in a Catholic ceremony in 1903 to a German girl who was killed in a car accident. More certain were his marriages to another German, Elizabeth Arnold, who accompanied him to England and whom he married in 1908, but who died in 1911; to Rhoda Carley in 1922, the marriage being dissolved in 1929; and finally to Nellie Adkins in 1931, a marriage which also broke down. In the 1950s he was romantically linked to an Austrian governess in London.

Death
The biography of Jeffrey Bernard by Graham Lord relates Prince Monolulu's death in some detail. It describes how Bernard at the time was working as a horse-racing journalist and visited Monolulu in the Middlesex Hospital to interview him. Bernard had brought with him a box of Black Magic chocolates and offered Monolulu a "strawberry cream". Monolulu subsequently choked to death on it and Bernard bade him farewell.

Media appearances
Monolulu frequently featured in newsreel broadcasts, and as a consequence was probably the best-known black man in Britain of the time. For example, in the 1939 newsreel London Carries On, Monolulu is shown encouraging a crowd of Londoners to wear their gas masks, changing his familiar saying from "I gotta horse!" to "I gotta gas mask to protect you!" The narrator comments that Monolulu had "evidently adapted himself to the new conditions."

He appeared in a clip in the 1939 propaganda film by Alexander Korda, The Lion has Wings (1939 film), Korda used him as an example of what Britain was, a nation at play and at ease with herself. In

He appeared briefly in the 1952 film Derby Day, which is set around The Derby, the 1954 film Aunt Clara with Margaret Rutherford and Sid James, and also in the 1959 film Make Mine a Million.

In 1957 Monolulu appeared on the March 28th and April 4th episodes of Groucho Marx's quiz show You Bet Your Life.

Monolulu's name is referenced by the character Rigsby in the 1974 pilot episode of the UK comedy series Rising Damp, in humorous comparison to the new tenant Philip, who had stated he was the son of a chief.

Wilfred Flowers

Wilfred Flowers (1856–1926) was a professional cricketer who played for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club between 1877 and 1896.

Cricket career
born 7 December 1856 in Calverton, Nottinghamshire, England, Flowers was a slow bowler, who bowled offbreaks and a strong batsman who was one of the leading all-rounders of his day. He first played for Nottinghamshire in 1877, and established himself slowly in a very strong side despite being known to be unplayable on a sticky wicket. In 1881, however, a players’ strike devastated Nottinghamshire and Flowers, seen as a player with less resolve than Alfred Shaw, Fred Morley, Arthur Shrewsbury, and John Selby, was approached by county officials and took advantage of the opportunity to become much more important in the redevelopment of the county. Flowers took such advantage of this that in 1882 he took one hundred wickets for the first time. His batting, which had been not outstanding but valuable in an era of very low scoring, developed greatly the following year, in which Flowers became the first professional to do the double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets. Playing for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Derbyshire, Flowers had the outstanding record of an innings of 131 and eleven wickets for eighty-seven runs.

He bettered this for the same club against Cambridge the following year, scoring 122 and taking fourteen wickets for 160 runs, and despite not doing quite so well with either bat or ball was still good enough to tour Australia with Alfred Shaw's teams in 1884–85. However, not physically strong enough for the hotter climate and drier wickets of Australia, Flowers only rarely, as when taking five for 46 in the Third Test and eight for 31 in the first match on a rain-damaged wicket, lived up to his English form. He did maintain his form well enough to tour again in 1886–87, but this time Flowers did very little worthy of his reputation. Even at county level, Flowers was increasingly overshadowed, especially in dry weather, by the physically hardier William Attewell. Nor did his batting advance during a succession of wet summers, but in the dry season of 1893 Flowers reached a four-figure run aggregate for only the second time. In the process he played an innings of 130 against the touring Australians including Charles Turner, George Giffen and Hugh Trumble, and was thus unsuccessfully picked for his last Test at Lord's, where he made 35 but was omitted in favour of Johnny Briggs who was bowling immensely better at county level.

Flowers still bowled well in 1894, but in the dry weather of 1895 his bowling lost him: in his final season of 1896 he was put on for only twenty overs. He did achieve the notable feat of scoring a century in his last match against Sussex.

Flowers was awarded a benefit match in 1899, but the match between Middlesex and Somerset at Lords turned out to be a financial disaster. The match was finished in just over 3 hours, making it the shortest first-class match ever played.

Post-retirement
After retiring as a player, Flowers served as an umpire from 1907 to 1912.

Flowers was married to Martha, and was a frame work knitter, and later a lacehand, by trade. At birth, he was registered as Wilfred Flower. His cousin Thomas Flowers also played first-class cricket. Flowers died 1 November 1926 in Carlton, Nottinghamshire, England

Thomas Thomas (surgeon)

Thomas Thomas (29 August 1917 – 31 October 1998) was the first cardio-thoracic surgeon of Indian citizenship, as well as a prolific author and poet.

Life
He was trained by Reeve H. Betts in cardio-thoracic surgery at the Christian Medical College in Vellore, India. He studied at Madras Christian College, Tamil Nadu, and did his medical training at Stanley Medical College, Tamil Nadu. He was the first surgeon in South Asia to do a mitral valvulotomy.

He was awarded a Rockefeller Fellowship and did further medical research in London and Edinburgh. He later taught in hospitals in Karnataka, Kerala, Papua New Guinea, and Libya.

A prolific writer, he funded his medical studies by writing short stories that were published in the literary magazine Caravan.

North Gower Township

North Gower Township is a former and now geographic township in eastern Ontario, Canada, now located in Ottawa. It contains the communities of Manotick and North Gower.

North Gower (pronounced "North Gor") was located in the southern part of Carleton County, bordered to the northwest by Goulbourn Township, to the north by Nepean, to the east by Osgoode and to the south by South Gower Township. It is separated from North Grenville and Osgoode by the Rideau River.

Originally known as Township C, it was established in 1792. In 1800, it became part of Carleton County and was incorporated as a township in 1850. The first settlers in the township were United Empire Loyalists. The township was first settled by Stephen Blanchard in 1820. The village of North Gower was first settled in 1846 and was originally known as Stephensville. The township merged with Marlborough Township and Long Island in 1974 to become Rideau Township. Rideau, in turn, became part of the amalgamated city of Ottawa in 2001.

North Gower Township took its name from Admiral John Leveson-Gower, Lord of the Admiralty from 1783 to 1789. At one time, there was also a South Gower Township.

According to the Canada 2016 Census, the former township had a population of 10,971 (former boundaries, including Long Island). As of the Canada 2021 Census, this had increased to 12,341.

Soccer in Victoria

Soccer in the Australian state of Victoria is organised by Football Victoria (FV). FV is a member of the national Football Australia.

National representation
Many clubs represented Victoria in the now defunct National Soccer League (NSL), three of which, South Melbourne FC, Melbourne Knights and Brunswick Juventus became champions. Along with South Melbourne, Heidelberg United, Footscray JUST and Mooroolbark United were NSL foundation clubs. At various times the following Victorian sides also competed in the NSL: Preston Lions FC; Carlton SC; Gippsland Falcons (also known as Eastern Pride); Collingwood Warriors; Sunshine George Cross; and Green Gully.

Victoria is currently represented in the top-flight A-League Men by Melbourne Victory, Melbourne City and Western United. Victory and City also have associated teams in the A-League Women and A-League Youth.

Leagues
The highest state based league is the National Premier Leagues Victoria, which forms a division of the National Premier Leagues. The winner of which enters a national play-off series against the winners of other NPL divisions. The league below that is the National Premier Leagues Victoria 2 and National Premier Leagues Victoria 3. Below that, State Leagues 1 and 2 are split into North/West and South/East divisions. Below that, three divisions of the Provisional Leagues follow, also split into North/West and South/East divisions. The participating clubs are almost entirely located within metropolitan Melbourne, however there are separate regional leagues organised by associations subsidiary to the FFV, such as the Geelong Regional Football Association, Ballarat & District Soccer Association and the Gippsland Soccer League.

Cup
The Dockerty Cup, a knockout cup competition for Victorian clubs, ran every year from 1909 until 1996, with the exception of the years 1916–18 owing to World War I. Since then it has been in recess, except for season 2004.

The idea of a Victorian Cup competition was revived in 2011 with the Mirabella Cup, which was to feature all Victorian clubs, from the A-League through to the regional leagues, however the FFA later pulled Melbourne Victory and Melbourne Heart from the competition. In 2012 and 2013 the competition was known as the FFV State Knockout Cup. In 2014 the competition returned to the traditional Dockerty Cup title. Since 2014 the Dockerty Cup has been used to qualify Victorian clubs, with the exception of A-League clubs which already automatically qualify, for the national FFA Cup.

Honours
Honours since reorganization with NPL in 2014.

Azuki-chan

Azuki-chan (あずきちゃん) is a manga series about a young schoolgirl named Azusa Noyama, nicknamed Azuki-chan because when she was in first grade, Ken Takayanagi, a boy in her class, accidentally reads her name, "Azusa(あずさ)", as "Azuki(あずき)". Originally serialized in Nakayoshi magazine, later adapted into anime by Madhouse.

Plot summary
Azusa Noyama (野山 梓 Noyama Azusa) always hated her nickname, Azuki (小豆ちゃん Azuki-chan).

She hates it until one day a new boy, Yūnosuke Ogasawara (小笠原 勇之助 Ogasawara Yūnosuke), starts in the same class as her on the first day of fifth grade. Earlier that day, Azuki is teased by Ken Takayanagi (高柳 健 Takayanagi Ken), or Ken-chan, about her nickname. Yūnosuke passes by and happily memorizes the name becoming the first girl he notices. Azuki is overjoyed, and instantly falls in love with him, loving both him and her nickname. However, Azuki gets jealous when she sees him closer to other girls.

Azuki lives with her mother, Keiko (けい子), with her father, Tadashi (正), and with her little brother, Daizu (大豆) in an apartment. Azuki has three best friends, Kaoru Nishino (西野 薫 Nishino Kaoru), Midori Kodama (兒玉 持玉 翠 Kodama Jidama Midori) and Tomomi Takahashi (高橋 朋美 Takahashi Tomomi). Kaoru has blonde hair, and she's calm and sensitive so she often cries. She lives with her mom, who owns a salon, near from Azuki's apartment. Kaoru secretly crushes on Ken but he doesn't accept her because he likes Azuki. Although in that situation, Kaoru still thinks Azuki is her best friend. Later, Ken starts to open up to Kaoru and gets closer to her. Midori Kodama is a tomboy and her close friends call her "Jidama". She lives with her grandmother. They seem to have a very close relationship except one episode when Jidama have gone out and sneaked in Azuki's bedroom because of an argument with her grandmother. She doesn't have a crush on anyone but in an episode, she falls for a police officer who helped her when her house was robbed. However, Jidama stops crushing on him when she realizes that the police officer is already married.

Tomomi, whom her friends called her "Tomo-chan" or "Tomo" is the class president. She wears glasses and has her hair in a black bob. She really likes Makoto Sakaguchi (坂口 誠 Sakaguchi Makoto), a close friend of Yūnosuke. Makoto didn't notice her at first but at last he asks her to go on a date in his parents' hotel, and eventually gets closer with Tomo.

Makoto is a rich boy but is not one of the spoiled brats. He is kind of sleepy and was intelligent "until 3rd grade". He's one of Yūnosuke's best friends, and they really are close.

Not only Azuki has a crush on Yūnosuke, but apparently most girls in her class also have feelings about him.

One of them is Yōko Sakakibara, a rich girl whose mom is a friend of Yūnosuke's. Yōko thinks she will get Yūnosuke as her boyfriend and tries to separate him with Azuki.

Ken "Ken-chan" Takayanagi is also a best friend of Yūnosuke. He's also a childhood friend of Azuki. Ken's father owns a ramen stall near Azuki's apartment, so Azuki always orders ramen from Ken's stall. Ken's mother doesn't appear a lot in the episodes.

In the second season, there was a new music teacher that Azuki is jealous of because she seems close to Yūnosuke. However, Azuki gets over it soon.

Before, in the first season, Azuki and Yūnosuke have their first kiss after he was beaten up by some middle school students. The funny part is that Yūnosuke thinks that Azuki will have a baby for that. Later, he finds out that this isn't true.

Also, in one episode, a sixth-grader crushes on Azuki and follows her wherever she goes. When they were little, Azuki helped him find his ball. Finally, he stopped wanting Azuki's response.

Daizu, Azuki's younger brother, also get his own story. He has a girlfriend who unfortunately falls for Yūnosuke but then gets back to him because realizing that Yūnosuke is already with Azuki. Before her, Daizu fell in love with Yōko...but he completely forgets her.

Azuki, Kaoru, and Tomo makes a club called "Club of Unreturned Love/ One-Sided Love" in one of the first episodes.

Makoto's older sister, which it's hard to believe she's his sister, appeared in a few episodes.

 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Your recent editing history at Lightning Bolt (Pearl Jam album) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Thank you.  STATic  message me!  22:29, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

National Student Drama Festival

The UK based National Student Drama Festival (NSDF) was founded in 1956 with the purpose of creating new art, new artists and new communities. It also runs a charity aimed at empowering young artists. The NSDF is targeted towards people aged 16–25 years old (in 2021–22 they extended the age bracket to include 26-year olds).

NSDF is a year-round organization whose work peaks at its annual festival: for one week, in one chosen city. There is a daily magazine, Noises Off, written by a team of writers and participants at the festival.

History
The NSDF was founded in 1956 by the Sunday Times arts columnist Kenneth Pearson, Sunday Times theatre critic Harold Hobson, and National Union of Students (United Kingdom) president Frank Copplestone. Pearson went on to become the organization's first artistic director. Early supporters also included Sunday Times Editor Harry Hodson and Professor Glynne Wickham, a pioneer of the academic discipline of drama based at the University of Bristol.

Even before 1956, The National Union of Students had organised dramatic festivals, like in 1947 at Birmingham, but this was the first year that it had been backed by the Sunday Times.

Scottish universities that were a part of the Scottish Union of Students were not allowed to participate till 1962, as universities not affiliated with the National Union of Students were not allowed to participate before that year.

Even after NSDF allowed Scottish Universities, the SUS still ran their own Scottish Union of Students National Student Drama Festival from 1963-1967.

On its 50th anniversary in 2006, a book was published called "Fifty years of the National Student Drama Festival: Oberon Books 2005". This book included a full list of shows for those 50 years.

Past NSDF participants include Harold Pinter, Caryl Churchill, Meera Syal, Simon Russell Beale, Ruth Wilson, Marianne Elliott, and Lucy Prebble. Companies with past affiliation with NSDF include Slung Low, Jamie Lloyd Productions, RashDash, Barrel Organ and LUNG Theatre.

NSDF 22 took place from 9–15 April 2022 in Leicester.
