Paul Draper (musician)

Paul Edward Draper (born 26 September 1970 in Liverpool) is an English singer-songwriter, musician and record producer, formerly the frontman of the alternative rock band Mansun.

Early days
Paul Draper grew up on Garmoyle Road in Wavertree, Liverpool before moving with his family to Connah's Quay, Deeside. Draper described the area as being "the absolute nothing of Great Britain", adding "Deeside is just the bit where the Welsh people really aren't Welsh because they were infiltrated by the English in the Fifties and Sixties. It's where everyone from Liverpool ended up. Basically, just after the war, Liverpool had 800,000 people; now it's got 390,000 people, and the missing 400,000 all live in Deeside. It's a horrible, horrible place. In Liverpool, if you're 15 and you pick up an acoustic guitar in school and play a song, then people would listen. But in my school when I tried to take in a guitar, I was just a poof and a queer, and that was that".

Draper attended St Richard Gwyn Catholic High School, Flint where he formed the band 'And She Said...' with drummer Carlton Hibbert, and bass-player and backing vocalist James Jones. The band released a self-recorded EP circa 1988 containing the tracks 'High Class Lover' and 'Tiny Love-Bird', which contained the seeds of the vocal and melodic sound that Draper would develop in Mansun. They later recorded further demo tracks, including the Prince-inspired 'Dance Funky'. At Thames Polytechnic (now University of Greenwich) Draper formed Grind with Steve Heaton and drummer Carlton Hibbert who regularly played around London and released one 12" single before splitting.

Mansun
Draper returned home to study at Wrexham Art College before forming Mansun with bassist Stove King, and guitarist Dominic Chad. The band signed to Parlophone and released three studio albums before splitting in 2003 whilst recording their fourth.

The band's debut album, Attack of the Grey Lantern, was released in the UK on 15 February 1997 and was released in Japan 9 days prior to the UK release with bonus tracks. The album spent a total of 19 weeks on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at number one.

Mansun's second album, Six, was released in the UK in September 1998 and peaked at number 6.

Little Kix, Mansun's third album, was released in the UK in August 2000 and peaked at number 12.

In 2004, Draper compiled Mansun's aborted fourth album recordings for release in the Kleptomania box set.

In 2006, Draper was diagnosed with cancer (during album sessions at Rockfield Studios), but responded well to chemotherapy, though he was unable to play for several months after the tumour was cut out and his finger swelled up following treatment.

Production work
In October 2005, "Alone in My Room", a single by Skin (Skunk Anansie), co-written and co-produced by Draper, was released; his first involvement in any musical project since Kleptomania.

He worked on a version of the 2006 Ibiza anthem "Exceeder" by the Dutch DJ Mason, which was uploaded to his MySpace page, and in 2009 produced and appeared on a track by The Joy Formidable, which was made available as a free download from the band's official website.

Draper performed a version of Mansun's "Wide Open Space" at London Astoria's last ever gig before it closed on 14 January 2009 with My Vitriol. The two acts had toured together previously in 2000, along with King Adora.

In October 2013, Draper stated that he was considering releasing material from his abandoned solo album Spooky Action at a Distance, which only existed in demo form, if there was enough interest. After a petition was set up on Facebook, he responded that he was going to give the idea of releasing solo material some "very serious consideration".

On 5 May 2014, the debut single "What Goes Around" by The Anchoress was released. A collaboration between Draper and singer-songwriter Catherine AD (Catherine Anne Davies), the duo have recorded an album's worth of material with Draper having co-written several of the songs and co-produced the whole album. A follow-up to the single is due for release on 20 October in the form of EP "One For Sorrow". In 2017, Davies reciprocally co-wrote 5 tracks on Draper's solo album Spooky Action.

Spooky Action (2014–2018)
Draper's first solo song "Feeling My Heart Run Slow" was premiered at a Mansun convention held at The Live Rooms in Chester on 23 August 2014. Recorded especially to play at the convention, Draper with the help of musicians from The Anchoress sessions, recorded five songs from his unrecorded solo album with a view to completing a whole album's worth.

Draper announced his first solo single would be released via monthly subscription service 'The Too Pure Singles Club' in April 2016. It was announced that the official release of his EP One would be released via Kscope on 10 June 2016.

On 25 November 2016, Draper released EP Two featuring lead track "Friends Make The Worst Enemies". His full length album, Spooky Action, was released on 11 August 2017. '' The album was nominated for Album of the Year at the annual Progressive Music Awards.

Spooky Action was released on 11 August 2017 and reached 19 in the UK album chart. The album stayed in the charts for one week.

EP Three was released as a digital download only on 16 March 2018 featuring a reworked single version of "Jealousy Is a Powerful Emotion" backed with acoustic versions of "Jealousy Is a Powerful Emotion" and "Things People Want". Also featured on the EP was a Public Service Broadcasting remix of "Friends Make the Worst Enemies".

Draper undertook his first UK solo tour in September 2017. His performance at London's Scala was released as the Live at Scala album and subsequently released on 16 February 2018. The gigs were Draper's first live shows since Mansun stopped touring in 2002 featuring tracks from his debut solo album Spooky Action, his solo EPs along with Mansun's Attack of the Grey Lantern and Little Kix.

A second solo tour in February/March 2018 saw Draper performed 2 sets, first featuring his solo material, and a second set performing Mansun's debut album Attack of the Grey Lantern in its entirety.

In April 2018, Draper toured the US as support to Steven Wilson, his first dates in the US since Mansun toured there in 1997.

Following the solo US tour supporting Steven Wilson; Draper toured the UK in November 2018, playing an acoustic set with guitarist Ben Sink. Kscope also announced a new vinyl release, Paul Draper - Attack of the Grey Lantern - Live at the Ritz, recorded in Manchester on 1 March 2018. The show was recorded by Ronnie Stone who produced the original Mansun debut album.

In January 2019, Draper with guitarist Ben Sink supported Steven Wilson on Wilson's headline French tour. They also visited Japan and China for dates in Tokyo, Osaka, Guangdong, Beijing and Shanghai in March 2019.

Cult Leader Tactics (2018–present)
In 2018, Draper began working on his second solo album. On October 29, 2021, Draper released the "Cult Leader Tactics" title track.

On 28 January 2022, Draper released his second solo album Cult Leader Tactics. It reached 22 in the UK album chart, and it stayed in the charts for one week. The album features guest appearances from musician and producer Steven Wilson on "Omega Man" – a collaboration about Wilson and Draper's feelings of isolation during lockdown, Gamaliel "Gam" Rendle Traynor from the band Sweat, who played, arranged and engineered all strings, as well as a 288-person choir (assembled from clips provided by fans online) who provide backing vocals on "Lyin' Bout Who U Sleep With". In March 2023, Draper toured playing his solo material and Mansun's second album Six.

Controversies
In 2016, an online interview with Paul Draper was removed from the Backseat Mafia website, after he made numerous unsubstantiated allegations against former bandmate Dominic Chad. The website issues an apology to Chad, stating that "on February 1st we published an article which contained several unsubstantiated assertions about former Mansun guitarist Dominic Chad. We would like to unreservedly apologise for the upset which the article may have caused Mr Chad and his family for the short period it was online. We are all embarrassed and upset by the whole affair, and we must offer our heartfelt thanks to Dominic Chad for his understanding, reason and his kind acceptance of our apologies".

In 2017, the main support band Estrons pulled out of Draper's first solo tour after the first night at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, with their frontwoman Tali Källström stating that she "woke up yesterday to a public tweet from Paul and inappropriate messages to my band's Facebook page which made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. Me and him have never even had a conversation. In reading these messages, his intentions became very clear. Knowing this I felt it was impossible to continue the tour dates with him comfortably".

In March 2018, Draper performed heavily intoxicated and appeared disoriented, forgetting lyrics, berated his backing band and fans alike, before being escorted off stage by his tour manager midway through his set, at the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham. The show was described as being a "a chaotic, shambolic embarrassment", with Draper quickly taking to social media and attacking UK music website Drowned in Sound and asking fans to boycott the publication, claiming that the website was "prejudice against mental illness" and had ruined the tour. Drowned In Sound responded, stating that they "haven't written about him or reviewed anything, so no idea what he's going on about. Heard tonight's gig wasn't great tho". Journalist Dom Gourlay, who writes for several publications including Drowned in Sound but was covering the show for Gigwise, was branded a "Natzi" (sic) by Draper. The following day, Draper issued a press release apologising for the show and claimed that a "personal issue raised its head just prior to the gig" that had upset him.

In November 2022, Draper was served a "an interim stalking protection order at the request of Surrey Police" to enable a full hearing into an alleged stalking campaign against former partner Catherine Anne Davies and her manager Sean Adams; something Draper strongly denied. Surrey Police withdrew the application before it came to a full hearing, with Draper posting his thanks to police and fans.

Musical influences
As a young man, Draper cited The Beatles as his favourite band and referenced Abbey Road as an influence with the song structures of their 1969 album (in particular tracks like 'She's So Heavy') - "It wasn't standard verse chorus, verse chorus and that really interested me". He also listened to his sister's copy of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon to which he affectionately described as "odd". Prince is his all time number one artist with Purple Rain being a particular favourite. "There is real elements of progressive rock in that" says Draper. Attack of the Grey Lantern and Six would later come to reflect these influences. In 2018 he said "If you put my Dad's and my sisters' record collections together, well, I reckon that's how you get Mansun". Further influential and favourites bands were revealed by Draper in an early 2019 interview with GuitarGuitar - "Abba, Prince, The Beatles, Bee Gees, Kate Bush, Motown, Bowie, Depeche Mode are up there as my faves but I like all good songwriters and musicians, I’ve got a wide taste. I really love Dolly Parton and a lot of old school country."

Temple Chevallier

Temple Chevallier FRAS (19 October 1794 in Badingham, Suffolk – 4 November 1873 in Harrow Weald) was a British clergyman, astronomer, and mathematician. Between 1847 and 1849, he made important observations regarding sunspots. Chevallier has been called "a remarkable Victorian polymath" (Kenworthy, 1994). Not only did he write many papers on astronomy and physics, he also published a translation of the Apostolic Fathers that went into a second edition, and translated the works of Clement of Rome, Polycarp and Ignatius of Antioch.

Life
Son of Rev. Temple Fiske Chevallier, rector of Badingham, Suffolk, of the Chevallier family of Aspall Hall, Chevallier was educated at Pembroke College, Cambridge, and was ordained a priest in 1820. He became a Fellow of Pembroke College in 1819. He was a Fellow and Tutor of Catharine Hall (St Catharine's College, Cambridge) in 1820 and Hulsean lecturer in Divinity from 1826 to 1827. He was curate and then vicar of St Andrew the Great, Cambridge.

His lectures were published as Of the proofs of the divine power and wisdom derived from the study of astronomy in 1835.

That same year, Chevallier was invited to become Professor of Astronomy at the newly founded University of Durham. A chair of Mathematics and Astronomy existed at the University of Durham between 1841 and 1871; Chevallier was the one to hold this post. He also served as Reader in Hebrew from 1835 to 1871, Registrar from 1835 to 1865, and from 1834 to 1835 also assisted with lectures in Divinity.

He was instrumental in establishing the Durham University Observatory (in 1839), serving as its Director for thirty years, and from which he made important observations of Jupiter's moons and regular meteorological observations. From 1835 until his death, he also served as perpetual Parish Priest at Esh, just outside Durham, where he founded the village school and restored the church.

After his resignation in 1871 from his academic posts following a stroke, he died on 4 November 1873.

Family
Chevallier had married, in 1825, Catherine, daughter of American Loyalist Charles Apthorpe Wheelwright. She died in 1858. He had three children: Catherine Temple, Alicia Temple and Temple (who died as a child).

Legacy

 * Chevallier was the first British astronomer to institute regular and continuous observation of sunspots.
 * He is entablatured in the Cathedral Chapel of the Nine Altars (Durham) and is portrayed in the Great Hall of Durham Castle (University College, Durham) as a large, imposing man, with a heavy beard.
 * The lunar crater Chevallier is named after him.

Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood

Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood is a 1988 American supernatural slasher film directed by John Carl Buechler and starring Lar Park Lincoln, Kevin Blair, Susan Blu, Terry Kiser, and Kane Hodder in his first appearance as Jason Voorhees, a role he would reprise in three subsequent films. It is a sequel to Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986) and the seventh installment in the Friday the 13th franchise. Set years after the events of the previous film, the plot follows a psychokinetic teenage girl (Lincoln) who unwittingly releases Jason from his tomb at the bottom of Crystal Lake, allowing him to go on another killing spree in the area.

The New Blood was intended to have a higher standard of quality than that of the previous installments, with high-profile directors being considered to helm the project. Paramount Pictures sought a partnership with New Line Cinema to create a crossover film between the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street series which would not come to fruition until New Line bought the rights to the franchise, releasing Freddy vs. Jason in 2003. After several failed concepts, screenwriter Daryl Haney suggested an idea akin to "Jason vs. Carrie", in which Jason would battle a teenage girl with psychokinetic abilities.

The film was released on May 13, 1988, to mostly negative reviews from critics, and grossed $19.2 million at the U.S. box office on a budget of $2.8 million. It was followed by Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan one year later.

Plot
After witnessing her alcoholic father physically abusing her mother, a young Tina Shepard attempts to escape the chaos at home and heads out onto Crystal Lake in a boat. When her father follows her in an attempt to stop her, Tina's dormant telekinetic abilities emerge, and she accidentally destroys the dock her father is standing on, causing him to fall into the lake and drown.

Years later, a teenage Tina is still struggling with remorse surrounding her father's death. Her mother, Amanda, takes her to the same lakeside residence as part of her treatment from her psychiatrist, Dr. Crews. He begins a series of experiments (verbal assaults) designed to agitate Tina's mental state, forcing her powers to become more pronounced. In reality, he is only trying to exploit her psychic powers. After a particularly upsetting session with Dr. Crews, Tina runs from the cabin and to the dock thinking about her father's death. While thinking about him, she wishes he would come back. Her powers unwittingly awaken mass murderer Jason Voorhees, who was chained at the bottom of Crystal Lake at the end of Part 6, and he emerges from the water to commit another killing spree.

Next door to the Shepard residence is a group of teens who are throwing a birthday party for their friend Michael. The group includes Michael's cousin Nick, preppy Russell and his girlfriend Sandra, Ben and his girlfriend Kate, science-fiction writer Eddie, stoner David, perky Robin, shy Maddy, and snobby socialite Melissa. Nick, who has arrived just for the party, becomes attracted to Tina, much to Melissa's chagrin. Melissa attempts to break up Nick and Tina, even going as far as kissing Eddie to make Nick jealous, but her schemes are to no avail – other than making Eddie feel spurned thereafter. Tina tells Nick about Jason and has a vision of him murdering Michael. Meanwhile, Jason kills Michael and his girlfriend Jane, later murdering another couple camping in the woods as well.

When Tina goes off with Nick to find her mother, Jason proceeds to kill the other teens one by one. Russell and Sandra go to the lake for a swim. While Sandra goes skinny-dipping, Russell is killed with an axe to his face. Sandra discovers his body before she is pulled under the water and drowned. Maddy goes looking for David but finds Russell's body. She runs for help, but Jason attacks her in a nearby barn and kills her with a sickle. Jason then kills Ben by crushing his skull and then Kate by driving a party horn into her eye. Inside the house, Jason stabs David and slices Eddie's neck open. Upstairs, Robin finds David's severed head and is thrown out through a window to her death. When Jason attacks Dr. Crews, he saves himself by using Amanda as a human shield, but Jason eventually kills him with a pole chainsaw. Tina finds her mother's body shortly afterward and uses her powers to electrocute Jason and crash part of the house down onto him. When Nick and Tina try to tell Melissa what happened, she thinks that they are crazy and tries to leave, but Jason kills her with an axe to the face.

Nick tries to fight off Jason, but he is quickly subdued. Tina unleashes her powers, breaking Jason's mask and exposing his disfigured and decomposed face. As the battle rages on, the Shepard lakeside cabin is destroyed by an explosive fire and the attack continues on the dock. Although Tina is unable to kill Jason, she unknowingly summons the spirit of her father, who rises from the lake and drags Jason back down with him into the depths of Crystal Lake, chaining the serial killer once more.

The following morning, Tina and Nick are taken away in an ambulance. Someone finds Jason's broken mask in the wreckage, and the screen fades to black as Jason's whispers can be heard in the distance.

Conception
After the previous installment, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, which reintroduced the Jason Voorhees character, Part VII was originally intended to be a crossover film between Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger. With each Friday the 13th sequel, the box office profits were diminishing, with the films in the Nightmare on Elm Street series grossing nearly twice the amount of the Friday films. Paramount Pictures proposed the crossover idea to New Line Cinema, the rival company who held the rights to the Elm Street films, with Paramount controlling domestic distribution and New Line controlling international distribution. The idea was abandoned after the two companies failed to come to an agreement, with the concept only coming to fruition after New Line purchased the rights to the Friday the 13th franchise, releasing Freddy vs. Jason in 2003.

One of the concepts for Part VII was conceived by associate producer Barbara Sachs, and was noted as being similar to the plot of Jaws, wherein a corporate land developer covers up the previous Jason Voorhees massacres in order to profitably build condos on Crystal Lake. Executive producer Frank Mancuso Jr. resisted the idea, and screenwriter Daryl Haney stated "There’s always a teenage girl who’s left to battle Jason by herself. What if the girl had telekinetic powers?" Sachs, who considered the "Jason vs. Carrie" concept to be "an interesting idea", wanted the installment to be more respectable than the previous entries in the series. Haney stated that "She wanted it to be unlike any other Friday the 13th movie. She wanted it to win an Academy Award". Several high-profile directors were considered for the job, including Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini.

Development
The film's original working title was Birthday Bash, chosen to conceal its identity as a Friday the 13th film. The entire production of this film was scheduled, completed, and released within seven months. Shooting took place from October to November 1987 in Baldwin County, Alabama, at Byrnes Lake off SR 225, and in nearby Mobile in February 1988.

This film marks the first of four appearances by Kane Hodder as Jason, the only actor to ever reprise the role. Although C. J. Graham, who had portrayed Jason in Part VI, was initially considered, Hodder was ultimately chosen based on his work in the film Prison, for which The New Blood director, Carl Buechler, had worked on as the special effects make-up artist. In that movie, Hodder filmed a scene in which his character, a prisoner executed in the electric chair, rises from the grave; Hodder himself had suggested to Buechler that he have maggots coming out of his mouth during the scene to heighten the effect of decomposition, and went on to film the sequence with live maggots spilling out of his mouth. Buechler remembered Hodder's commitment to the part when casting The New Blood, and chose Hodder over Graham. Graham expressed disappointment, as he had hoped to reprise the role of Jason and make himself synonymous with the character, as Boris Karloff had with Frankenstein's monster, but ultimately expressed satisfaction with Hodder's portrayal and said that he bore no ill will about not being asked to return. Hodder would go on to make cinematic history for the longest uninterrupted onscreen controlled burn in Hollywood history. For the scene in which Tina causes the furnace to shoot flames at Jason, Hodder was actually set on fire by an apparatus rigged so that the ignition could be captured on film (as opposed to being edited in later with trick photography). Hodder was on fire for a full forty seconds, a record at the time.

Post-production
Though one contemporary critic noted that the film is "nearly devoid of blood and gore by '80s slasher standards", several explicit scenes of gore were cut in order to avoid an X rating.

Music
On September 27, 2005, BSX records released a limited edition CD of Fred Mollin's Friday the 13th Part VII and VIII scores. A vinyl release of the soundtrack including the complete Fred Mollin cues, along with material by Harry Manfredini was released by Waxwork Records in July 2020 and on CD by La-La Land Records in the United States on October 30, 2020.

Home media
The Deluxe DVD Edition was released September 15, 2009.

Box office
Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood opened on Friday, May 13, 1988 in 1,796 theaters, debuting at number 1 and earning $8.2 million in its opening weekend. Ultimately, the film would go on to gross a total of $19.1 million at the U.S. box office with 4,664,234 admissions, placing it at number 53 on the list of the year's top earners and continuing the series' decline in sales.

Critical response
Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood was not screened in advance for critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 35% based on 26 reviews, with an average rating of 4.6/10. The site's critics consensus reads: "As lumbering and bereft of conscious thought as its unstoppable star, Friday the 13th Part VII - The New Blood finds the franchise in desperate need of the title ingredient." On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 13 out of 100, based on nine critics, indicating "overwhelming dislike." Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.

Gene Siskel gave the film one star in the Chicago Tribune, citing its weak finale and predictable killings, as well as a perceived misogynistic subtext to the entire Friday the 13th series. Steve Davis's review in The Austin Chronicle, written entirely in verse, characterized the repetitive plotline of the series as tiresome and implausible, with campers repeatedly coming to Crystal Lake despite the repeated slaughter of visitors. He gave it a bomb. Susy Flory of the Santa Clarita Signal wrote: "It's Hollywood's idea of every teenager's dream—a bunch of lovely, nubile young girls, a rustic cabin in the woods, a stash of marijuana, and, gore galore courtesy of a zombie superhuman psycho killer." The Star-Gazette's Amnon Kabatchnik wrote that the film is "geared to appeal to the viewers' baser instincts, horrific moments of graphic mutilation are interwoven with nude-and-sex sequences," adding: "The offbeat Tina is reminiscent of Stephen King's Carrie, but unlike Sissy Spacek, Lar Park Lincoln is unable to flesh out a human dimension. Cult devotees of the series probably won't care."

The film is mentioned in the novels American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.

Is this the same Lou Myers who was on A Different World, the Cosby Show spinoff? Either it is, and this article needs to be modified, or the article for A Different World needs to be modified to point away from this page. Schuminweb 19:05, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I IMDB'd Lou Myers from A Different World and there's no indication he passed away, so I'm going to work on a page for Lou Myers (actor). Donmega60645 14:10, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Tonia McDonald of Myers' nonprofit Global Business Inc. says Myers died Feb. 19, 2013, at Charleston Area Medical Center (West Virginia) after becoming ill with pneumonia. Myers was 76.

A native of Chesapeake, WV, Myers was best known for his role as ornery restaurant owner Mr. Gaines on the television series "A Different World.''

His TV credits included "NYPD Blue, "E.R., "The Cosby Show and "Touched by an Angel. He also appeared in a number of films, including "Tin Cup and "Wedding Planner.

Myers also appeared on Broadway, including in "Oprah Winfrey's The Color Purple.''

Date of Death?
The New York Times is, so far, the only newspaper to have published an obituary. That obituary, which says "published Nov. 21, 2005," said Myers died "yesterday" -- i.e., Nov. 20. I have changed the date in the article accordingly. Cullinane 03:54, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

The Graves (Massachusetts)

The Graves is an aggregation of rock outcroppings in Massachusetts Bay, Massachusetts, United States. Situated some 11 mi offshore of downtown Boston, it is the outermost island in the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. It is the location of The Graves Light, at 113 ft tall the tallest lighthouse in Boston Harbor, and an important navigation aid for traffic to and from the port. The island has a permanent size of 1.8 acres, and rises to a height of 15 ft above sea level; there is only aquatic vegetation on the island. The island is privately owned and the beacon and foghorn are managed by the Coast Guard, and is not open to the public.

The Graves are named after Thomas Graves, a prominent early trader of colonial Massachusetts and a rear admiral in the English Navy who was killed in action against the Dutch in 1653.

The Graves are northeast of the Roaring Bulls and far northwest of Three and One-half Fathom Ledge. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts ceded jurisdiction of The Graves, which lay outside the jurisdiction of any town, to the Federal Government on April 22, 1903, so that a lighthouse could be built on the ledge. The United States Lighthouse Service operated Graves Light until 1939, when it was merged into the United States Coast Guard. Graves Light was declared surplus property and sold by auction to a private owner in 2013.

Talk:Pop princess

Don't delete a singer from a category. Don't delete artists because you don't like them. Keep singers there or add people. DO NOT Delete them! —This unsigned comment was added by 24.233.84.42 (talk • contribs).

Origins
From my own research, the idea of the pop princess probably got started in the early 1960's with the way Mercury Records promoted Lesley Gore, particularly the one-two punch of the singles "It's My Party" and "Judy's Turn to Cry." That became precedent for other record companies: MCA's marketing of Tiffany; Atlantic's of Stacey Q, Deborah Gibson and Jewel; Zomba's of Britney Spears; Sony BMG's of Christina Aguilera; and particularly Disneyland's of Miley Cyrus, Ashley Tisdale, &c. Probably other labels are doing likewise. - B.C.Schmerker 04:01, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Bangles
I have a real problem with The Bangles, who were an actual rock band - as opposed to being the creation of a record producer/impresario or already famous for acting or modeling, categories that describe the other women on this list - and who had considerable credibility, were part of the Paisley Underground scene, and even played on a bill with Black Flag, being included on this list. —This unsigned comment was added by 4.231.179.79 (talk • contribs).

Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton should not be classified as a pop princess. Sure she attempted to become one with her music "career", but one bubblegum pop hit sung by a moderatively pretty girl does not a pop princess make!!! 58.160.183.52 09:43, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

The Killing Time

The Killing Time was a period of conflict in Scottish history between the Presbyterian Covenanter movement, based largely in the southwest of the country, and the government forces of Kings Charles II and James VII. The period, roughly from 1679 to the Glorious Revolution of 1688, was subsequently called The Killing Time by Robert Wodrow in his The History of the Sufferings of the Church of Scotland from the Restoration to the Revolution, published in 1721–22. It is an important episode in the martyrology of the Church of Scotland.

Background
In the century following the Reformation Parliament of 1560, the question of church government had been one of growing tension between popular opinion and the Monarch. While the Church of Scotland was Presbyterian in its legal status according to various acts of Parliament, King James VI had developed a compromise which tended towards an Episcopalian church government, but Calvinist theology.

When King Charles I acceded to the throne in 1625, his policy increasingly antagonised the nation by imposing High Church Anglicanism and Erastian state control over spiritual matters of the church. This culminated in the 1638 National Covenant which was a widespread popular expression of the nation's protest at the King's policy. Ultimately the Bishops' Wars resulted in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. On 5 February 1649, six days after the English Parliament executed the King, the Covenanter Parliament of Scotland proclaimed Charles II "King of Great Britain, France and Ireland" at the Mercat Cross, Edinburgh, but refused to allow him to enter Scotland unless he accepted Presbyterianism throughout Britain and Ireland.

In order to protect the Presbyterian polity and doctrine of the Church of Scotland, the pre-Restoration government of Scotland signed the 1650 Treaty of Breda to crown him king and support him against the English Parliamentary forces.

However, at his Restoration in 1660, the King renounced the terms of the Treaty and his Oath of Covenant, which the Scottish Covenanters saw as a betrayal. The Rescissory Act 1661 repealed all laws made since 1633, effectively ejecting 400 Ministers from their livings, removing patronage in the appointment of Ministers from congregations and allowing the King to proclaim the restoration of Bishops to the Church of Scotland. The Abjuration Act of 1662 ''…was a formal rejection of the National Covenant of 1638 and the Solemn League and Covenant of 1643. These were declared to be against the fundamental laws of the kingdom. The Act required all persons taking public office to take an oath of abjuration not to take arms against the king, and rejecting the Covenants. This excluded most Presbyterians from holding official positions of trust.'' Essentially, this returned church governance to the situation that existed prior to the expulsion of the bishops by the Glasgow General Assembly in 1638 and overthrew the Presbyterian form of organisation favoured by the Covenanters.

Situation
Church ministers were confronted with a stark choice: accept the new situation or lose their livings. Up to a third of the ministry refused. Many ministers chose voluntarily to abandon their own parishes rather than wait to be forced out by the government. Most of the vacancies occurred in the south-west of Scotland, an area particularly strong in its Covenanting sympathies. Some of the ministers also took to preaching in the open fields in conventicles, often attracting thousands of worshippers.

The Scottish Privy Council attempted to end the dissent in the form of the First Indulgence of 1669, followed by a Second in 1672. These allowed ministers to return to their churches on condition that they remained silent on the issues dividing the Kirk. The English spy Daniel Defoe, who studied the period, listed the reasons why the more intransigent clergy refused to countenance the offer:
 * 1) They would not accept of our Indulgence for worshipping God by the licence of the bishops; because they said they had abjured Prelacy in the Covenant, and had declared the bishops to be anti-scriptural and anti-Christian; and to take licence from them was to homologate their authority as legal, which they detested and abhorred.
 * 2) They would not take the Oath of Supremacy because they could not in conscience allow any king or head of the Church but Jesus Christ.
 * 3) They would not pray for the king, or swear to him, because he was a persecutor of the Church, and thereby an enemy to God, because he had renounced the oath of God in the Covenant, and until he had repented, they would have nothing to do with him.
 * 4) Being debarred all manner of liberty to worship God in public, and on the severest penalties forbidden to assemble themselves together, either in the churches or in private families; and believing it at the same time their duty according to the Scriptures, not to forsake assembling, they could not satisfy their consciences to obey man rather than God.

Reaction
The Stuart regime, worried about the possibility of disorder and rebellion and resentful of the Covenanters' having made their fighting for Charles II during the civil wars conditional upon the maintenance of Scottish Presbyterianism, attempted to stamp this movement out, with varying degrees of success. Fines were levied upon those who failed to attend the parish churches of the "King's curates", the death penalty was imposed for preaching at field conventicles, and torture of suspects using inventive punishments such as hanging people by the thumbs or using the boot or thumbscrews became a tactic of first resort. In 1678, some 3,000 Lowland militia and 6,000 Highlanders (the 'Highland Host') were billeted in the Covenanting shires and plundered their unwilling hosts. These policies provoked armed rebellions in 1666 and 1679, which were quickly suppressed.

The early summer of 1679 saw an escalation of civil unrest with the assassination of the Scottish Primate James Sharp, the Archbishop of St Andrews, the Battle of Drumclog and the Battle of Bothwell Bridge. The Sanquhar Declaration of 1680 effectively declared the people could not accept the authority of a King who would not recognise their religion, nor commit to his previous oaths. Read publicly at Sanquhar by a group of Covenanters led by the Reverend Richard Cameron, it renounced all allegiance to Charles II and opposed the succession of his brother James, Duke of York, a Roman Catholic. In February 1685 the King died and was succeeded by his brother as King James VII.

In response to these shows of political sedition, the Scottish Privy Council authorised extrajudicial field executions of those caught in arms or those who refused to swear loyalty to the King and renounce the Covenant by an Abjuration Oath. This Oath of Abjuration was specifically designed to be repugnant to Covenanters and thereby act as a "sieve, the mesh of which would winnow the loyal from the disloyal." John Graham, Laird of Claverhouse was commissioned to carry out the orders of the Privy Council and was responsible for various summary executions which earned him the name "Bluidy Clavers" by the Covenanters.

Around 100 executions are recorded as a result of the Privy Council's orders, the majority being of radical Cameronians who were executed over a short period of several months in 1685, for civil crimes punishable by death. Despite the relatively short duration of this action and its limitation to a single faction of the broader Presbyterian community, it has since come to dominate the historiography of the period.

Amid rising tensions in both Scotland and England, the Stuart regime descended into chaos and the Glorious Revolution of 1688 ended James's reign in England when he fled on 23 December to exile in France. The ensuing political crisis in Scotland, which, pre-empted by English events, left Scotland without a king and saw the members of the Scottish Privy Council swiftly ask William to take over the responsibilities of government in Scotland on 7 January 1689. Having read the mood of the people that there was a lack of popular support for James' regime and that William's political support grew as the crisis unfolded in a similar way to England, the Scottish Parliament passed the Claim of Right Act, thereby establishing in Scots Law, that the throne was left vacant upon James' departure.

The persecution ended with the accession of William of Orange as King William II of Scotland in 1688 and the acceptance of Scottish Presbyterianism by the Act of Settlement 1690. The execution of James Renwick in February 1688 is regarded as closing the period of martyrdom.

Untitled
Some changes need to be made to the page. First of all, there's the cosmetic changes which need to be applied; album titles should be in cursive (no quotation marks) if I'm not mistaken, not sure about song titles yet. Second, who says this is not considered an official Canibus release? As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing official to indicate that it was released to fulfill a contract (though that's very likely), so I think we'll have to remove that one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cromag (talk • contribs) 20:11, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Matumio. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Matumio~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:42, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Mogul lamp

A mogul lamp or six way lamp is a floor lamp which has a large center light bulb surrounded by three (or four) smaller bulbs that may be candelabra-style or standard medium-base bulbs, each mounted base-down. This entire setting is typically covered, at least partially, by a large cylindrical (or bell-shaped) fabric shade which is fitted over the reflector bowl, an upturned, white-colored glass, hemispherical diffuser surrounding the center bulb. The top of the lamp is usually designed to sit just above eye-level of an average adult person standing next to it, to avoid unpleasant glare from unshaded bulbs.

Etymology
The lamp is named after the Great Mogul.

Details
The bulb socket in the center has a larger diameter (an E39 or E40 mogul base) than a regular E26 or E27 Edison screw light socket, and is typically made of cast porcelain for the higher temperatures. Mogul-base lamps are available for industrial use in larger power ratings (250-1500) and in halogen, mercury vapor, high-pressure sodium and metal-halide lamp configurations. Compact fluorescent mogul-base bulbs are also available, as are adaptors to allow medium-base bulbs to be used in mogul sockets.

There are usually two three-way switches near the top of the floor lamp to operate the bulbs. One controls the three-way center bulb, and the other turns on one, two, or all three (or four) of the peripheral bulbs. The center bulb may be very high power (often a three-way, 100-200-300 watt bulb), where the others are usually 60 watts or less. Some models have a night light in the base operated by a foot switch. One model turns the current light settings on or off by moving the lamp pole up or down.

This design allows sixteen different combinations of brightness to be obtained. The result is that one lamp can provide a very soft, diffuse glow or quickly adjusted to illuminate an entire room, and everything in between.

Popular in the 1920s and 1930s, mogul lamps can be obtained in thrift or antique stores and can still be purchased new.

Mogul lamps and mathematics
Mogul lamps are also the subject of a mathematics problem concerning the number of possible combinations of power that can be obtained. As it turns out, the name "Six Way Lamp" is somewhat deceiving since there are in fact 16 possible combinations (without the night-light), including combinations with all lamps of either switch off. The term probably comes from the fact that the design incorporates two "three-way" switches.

Stern–Brocot tree

In number theory, the Stern–Brocot tree is an infinite complete binary tree in which the vertices correspond one-for-one to the positive rational numbers, whose values are ordered from the left to the right as in a search tree. The Stern–Brocot tree was introduced independently by and. Stern was a German number theorist; Brocot was a French clockmaker who used the Stern–Brocot tree to design systems of gears with a gear ratio close to some desired value by finding a ratio of smooth numbers near that value.

The root of the Stern–Brocot tree corresponds to the number 1. The parent-child relation between numbers in the Stern–Brocot tree may be defined in terms of continued fractions or mediants, and a path in the tree from the root to any other number q provides a sequence of approximations to q with smaller denominators than q. Because the tree contains each positive rational number exactly once, a breadth first search of the tree provides a method of listing all positive rationals that is closely related to Farey sequences. The left subtree of the Stern–Brocot tree, containing the rational numbers in the range (0,1), is called the Farey tree.

Generating rule
Each vertex in the tree can be associated with a triple of fractions consisting of three fractions in the same row as the vertex, namely the fraction immediately to the left of the vertex, the fraction at the vertex itself, and the fraction immediately to the right of the vertex. (Refer to the figure above.) The left and right fractions do not correspond to vertices in the same row as the vertex, but rather to vertices in some preceding row. Each such fraction can be understood as labeling the region of the plane bounded by two infinite paths descending from the preceding vertex labeled by the same fraction. The second element of a triple will always be the mediant of the first and third elements. For example, the root is associated with $$\left(\tfrac{0}{1},\tfrac{1}{1},\tfrac{1}{0}\right)$$ and its left and right descendents are associated with $$\left(\tfrac{0}{1},\tfrac{1}{2},\tfrac{1}{1}\right)$$ and $$\left(\tfrac{1}{1},\tfrac{2}{1},\tfrac{1}{0}\right)$$. The tree is generated by the following rule: the left descendent of $$\left(\tfrac{a}{b},\tfrac{c}{d},\tfrac{e}{f}\right)$$ is $$\left(\tfrac{a}{b},\tfrac{a+c}{b+d},\tfrac{c}{d}\right)$$ and the right descendent is $$\left(\tfrac{c}{d},\tfrac{c+e}{d+f},\tfrac{e}{f}\right)$$.

A tree of continued fractions
The relationship between parents and descendants can also be understood in terms of continued fractions. Every positive rational number $$q$$ may be expressed as a continued fraction of the form $$q = a_0 + \cfrac{1}{a_1 + \cfrac{1}{a_2 + \cfrac{1}{a_3 + \cfrac{1}{\ddots+\cfrac1{a_k}}}}}= [a_0; a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k] $$ where $$k$$ and $$a_0$$ are non-negative integers, and each subsequent coefficient $$a_i$$ is a positive integer. This representation is not unique because $$ [a_0; a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{k-1}, 1] = [a_0; a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{k-1}+1],$$ but using this equivalence to replace every continued fraction ending with a one by a shorter continued fraction shows that every rational number has a unique representation in which the last coefficient is greater than one. Then, unless $$q=1$$, the number $$q$$ has a parent in the Stern–Brocot tree given by the continued fraction expression $$[a_0; a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k-1].$$ Equivalently this parent is formed by decreasing the denominator in the innermost term of the continued fraction by 1, and contracting with the previous term if the fraction becomes $$\tfrac11$$. For instance, the rational number $23⁄16$ has the continued fraction representation $$\frac{23}{16}=1+\cfrac1{2+\cfrac1{3+\frac12}} = [1;2,3,2],$$ so its parent in the Stern–Brocot tree is the number $$[1;2,3,1]=[1;2,4]=1+\cfrac1{2+\frac14}=\frac{13}{9}.$$

Conversely each number $$q$$ in the Stern–Brocot tree has exactly two children: if $$ q = [a_0; a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k] = [a_0; a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k-1,1]$$ then one child is the number represented by the continued fraction $$\displaystyle [a_0; a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k+1]$$ while the other child is represented by the continued fraction $$ [a_0; a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k-1,2].$$ One of these children is less than $$q$$ and this is the left child; the other is greater than $$q$$ and it is the right child (in fact the former expression gives the left child if $$k$$ is odd, and the right child if $$k$$ is even). For instance, the continued fraction representation of $13⁄9$ is [ 1;2,4 ] and its two children are [ 1;2,5 ] = $16⁄11$ (the right child) and [ 1;2,3,2 ] = $23⁄16$ (the left child).

It is clear that for each finite continued fraction expression one can repeatedly move to its parent, and reach the root [ 1; ] =$1⁄1$ of the tree in finitely many steps (in a0 + ... + ak − 1 steps to be precise). Therefore, every positive rational number appears exactly once in this tree. Moreover all descendants of the left child of any number q are less than q, and all descendants of the right child of q are greater than q. The numbers at depth d in the tree are the numbers for which the sum of the continued fraction coefficients is d + 1.

Mediants and binary search
The Stern–Brocot tree forms an infinite binary search tree with respect to the usual ordering of the rational numbers. The set of rational numbers descending from a node q is defined by the open interval (Lq,Hq) where Lq is the ancestor of q that is smaller than q and closest to it in the tree (or Lq = 0 if q has no smaller ancestor) while Hq is the ancestor of q that is larger than q and closest to it in the tree (or Hq = +∞ if q has no larger ancestor).

The path from the root 1 to a number q in the Stern–Brocot tree may be found by a binary search algorithm, which may be expressed in a simple way using mediants. Augment the non-negative rational numbers to including a value 1/0 (representing +∞) that is by definition greater than all other rationals. The binary search algorithm proceeds as follows: The sequence of values M computed by this search is exactly the sequence of values on the path from the root to q in the Stern–Brocot tree. Each open interval (L,H) occurring at some step in the search is the interval (LM,HM) representing the descendants of the mediant M. The parent of q in the Stern–Brocot tree is the last mediant found that is not equal to q.
 * Initialize two values L and H to 0/1 and 1/0, respectively.
 * Until q is found, repeat the following steps:
 * Let L = a/b and H = c/d; compute the mediant M = (a + c)/(b + d).
 * If M is less than q, then q is in the open interval (M,H); replace L by M and continue.
 * If M is greater than q, then q is in the open interval (L,M); replace H by M and continue.
 * In the remaining case, q = M; terminate the search algorithm.

This binary search procedure can be used to convert floating-point numbers into rational numbers. By stopping once the desired precision is reached, floating-point numbers can be approximated to arbitrary precision. If a real number x is approximated by any rational number a/b that is not in the sequence of mediants found by the algorithm above, then the sequence of mediants contains a closer approximation to x that has a denominator at most equal to b; in that sense, these mediants form the best rational approximations to x.

The Stern–Brocot tree may itself be defined directly in terms of mediants: the left child of any number q is the mediant of q with its closest smaller ancestor, and the right child of q is the mediant of q with its closest larger ancestor. In this formula, q and its ancestor must both be taken in lowest terms, and if there is no smaller or larger ancestor then 0/1 or 1/0 should be used respectively. Again, using 7/5 as an example, its closest smaller ancestor is 4/3, so its left child is (4 + 7)/(3 + 5) = 11/8, and its closest larger ancestor is 3/2, so its right child is (7 + 3)/(5 + 2) = 10/7.

Relation to Farey sequences
The Farey sequence of order n is the sorted sequence of fractions in the closed interval [0,1] that have denominator less than or equal to n. As in the binary search technique for generating the Stern–Brocot tree, the Farey sequences can be constructed using mediants: the Farey sequence of order n + 1 is formed from the Farey sequence of order n by computing the mediant of each two consecutive values in the Farey sequence of order n, keeping the subset of mediants that have denominator exactly equal to n + 1, and placing these mediants between the two values from which they were computed.

A similar process of mediant insertion, starting with a different pair of interval endpoints [0/1,1/0], may also be seen to describe the construction of the vertices at each level of the Stern–Brocot tree. The Stern–Brocot sequence of order 0 is the sequence [0/1,1/0], and the Stern–Brocot sequence of order i is the sequence formed by inserting a mediant between each consecutive pair of values in the Stern–Brocot sequence of order i − 1. The Stern–Brocot sequence of order i consists of all values at the first i levels of the Stern–Brocot tree, together with the boundary values 0/1 and 1/0, in numerical order.

Thus the Stern–Brocot sequences differ from the Farey sequences in two ways: they eventually include all positive rationals, not just the rationals within the interval [0,1], and at the nth step all mediants are included, not only the ones with denominator equal to n. The Farey sequence of order n may be found by an inorder traversal of the left subtree of the Stern–Brocot tree, backtracking whenever a number with denominator greater than n is reached.

Additional properties
If $${ \frac{p_1}{q_1}, \frac{p_2}{q_2}, \dots, \frac{p_n}{q_n} }$$ are all the rationals at the same depth in the Stern–Brocot tree, then

 * $$ \sum_{k=1}^n \frac{1}{p_kq_k} = 1$$.

Moreover, if $${\frac{p}{q} < \frac{p'}{q'}}$$ are two consecutive fractions at or above a certain level in the tree (in the sense that any fraction between them, must be in a lower level of the tree), then

 * $$ p'q - pq' = 1$$.

Along with the definitions in terms of continued fractions and mediants described above, the Stern–Brocot tree may also be defined as a Cartesian tree for the rational numbers, prioritized by their denominators. In other words, it is the unique binary search tree of the rational numbers in which the parent of any vertex q has a smaller denominator than q (or if q and its parent are both integers, in which the parent is smaller than q). It follows from the theory of Cartesian trees that the lowest common ancestor of any two numbers q and r in the Stern–Brocot tree is the rational number in the closed interval [q, r] that has the smallest denominator among all numbers in this interval.

Permuting the vertices on each level of the Stern–Brocot tree by a bit-reversal permutation produces a different tree, the Calkin–Wilf tree, in which the children of each number a/b are the two numbers a/(a + b) and (a + b)/b. Like the Stern–Brocot tree, the Calkin–Wilf tree contains each positive rational number exactly once, but it is not a binary search tree.

Portal:Lithuania/Intro

The Republic of Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuva; full - Lietuvos Respublika) is a republic in Northern Europe. One of the three Baltic States along the Baltic Sea, it shares borders with Latvia to the north, Belarus to the southeast, Poland to the south, and the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia to the southwest.

During the 14th and 15th centuries, Lithuania was the largest country in Europe: present-day Belarus, Ukraine, and parts of Poland and Russia were territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. With the Lublin Union of 1569 Poland and Lithuania formed a new state, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Commonwealth lasted more than two centuries, until neighboring countries systematically dismantled it from 1772 to 1795, with the Russian Empire annexing most of Lithuania's territory. In the wake of the First World War, Lithuania's Act of Independence was signed on February 16, 1918, declaring the re-establishment of a sovereign state. Starting in 1940, Lithuania was occupied first by the Soviet Union then Nazi Germany. As World War II neared its end in 1944 and the Nazis retreated, the Soviet Union reoccupied Lithuania. On March 11, 1990, Lithuania became the first Baltic republic to declare its renewed independence.

Lithuania became a full member of the Schengen Agreement on 21 December 2007. It is a member of EU, NATO and OECD. In 2009, Lithuania celebrating the millennium of its name. More about Lithuania...

Rose, Rose, I Love You

"Rose, Rose, I Love You" is a 1940 Mandarin popular song composed by Chen Gexin and first recorded by Yao Lee. An English-language version whose lyrics have little in common with the original Mandarin was first recorded by Frankie Laine in 1951. The song was brought back to England by broadcaster Wilfrid Thomas in 1951 after doing commentary on the war in Malaya. When he played it on his BBC program he received a barrage of requests for a repeat and he played it again in several more programs. The song is also known under the titles "Shanghai Rose" and "China Rose."

History

The original Chinese lyrics were by Wu Cun (Ng Chuen; 吳村 Wú Cūn) and the music was credited to Lin Mei (林枚), a pen name of the popular songwriter Chen Gexin. The song was first recorded in 1940 by Yao Lee as an interlude for the movie Singing Girl and released as a single on Pathé Records (EMI) catalog number B. 597. Yao Lee's Mandarin version was also released in the US and UK in the early 1950s by Columbia Records, catalog numbers 39420 and 2837 respectively. Yao Lee was credited as "Miss Hue Lee" in this release. Other early releases have also credited her as "Yiu Lei."

The English-language lyrics were written by the British radio presenter Wilfrid Thomas. It was recorded by American singer Frankie Laine and the Norman Luboff Choir, with Paul Weston and his orchestra, on 6 April 1951, and released by Columbia Records as catalog number 39367. The song reached number 3 on the Billboard music chart. At this time Columbia also released Yao Lee's original Mandarin version in the US and UK under the English title, "Rose, Rose, I Love You." When the songwriter Chen Gexin's youngest son went to the United States for advanced education, he was able to meet Laine and maintained a correspondence. The English lyrics have little in common with the original Mandarin, but they pay subtle tribute to the titular Mandarin phrase "méigui méigui" (lit. rose, rose) by including the similar-sounding English phrase "make way" with its normal English meaning three times.

Covers

 * Petula Clark covered the song in English with new lyrics under the title "May Kway". This lyric entered the UK sheet music charts on May 5, 1951 and peaked at number 16.
 * The Japanese singer Kyu Sakamoto covered the original Mandarin versions in the 1960s.
 * Gordon Jenkins released a cover of Frankie Laine's version on Decca Records catalog number 27594.
 * Aneka also covered Frankie Laine's version in the early 1980s, also adding new original English lyrics. This single was released by Ariola Records but did not chart.
 * Hong Kong singer Anita Mui sang the Cantonese cover of the song in 1989, and was featured as the theme soundtrack in Jackie Chan's film, Miracles.
 * The Malaysian girl group Four Golden Princess released an album of medleys (2006), each of which paired a popular Mandarin song with an English-language pop song. They covered the first two verses and chorus of the English-language version of "Rose, Rose, I Love You," rather than the Chinese version.
 * The original Mandarin version of this song was also covered by Taiwanese singer Joanna Wang in her 2009 album Joanna & Wang Ruo-lin.
 * The Mandarin version also has reached a degree of popularity in Vietnam with various performers, such as Thu Ngọc and Thái Doanh Doanh, covering the song under the title "Cánh hồng Trung Quốc."
 * The Shanghai Restoration Project has covered the Mandarin version in their album, The Classics (2014), featuring singer Le Zhang (張樂).
 * The song has occasionally been covered in Hong Kong TV dramas, including House of Spirits and Glittering Days.
 * The Malaysian trio The Shanghai Sisters has recently covered the trilingual version of "Rose, Rose, I Love You" in their music video.

In popular culture

 * The original Mandarin song was featured in the 1996 film The Pillow Book, both opening and closing the film and serving as a leitmotif representing the protagonist Nagiko's childhood. It was also featured in the 2005 film The White Countess (the film appears to be set in 1937, so the inclusion of the song would be anachronistic). Anita Mui sings this song in the 1989 Jackie Chan film Miracles.
 * The Frankie Laine version was featured in Peter Bogdanovich's 1971 film The Last Picture Show.
 * David Bowie references the song in the 1984 documentary Ricochet. While visiting Hong Kong on his Serious Moonlight Tour, Bowie is filmed having dinner with a group of local socialites. He asks if they know the song, and several of the guests begin to sing it. At another time, the song is heard as a backdrop to footage of Hong Kong street life.

Ethics (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

"Ethics" is the 116th episode of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. The 16th episode of the fifth season.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the Starfleet crew of the Federation starship Enterprise-D. In this episode, after an accident leaves Worf paralysed, his only hope may be a visiting doctor with questionable medical ethics.

Guest star Caroline Kava plays Federation Doctor Russell who specializes in neuroscience and experimental medicine.

Overview
Writer Ronald D. Moore said that he hated working on this episode in the book Star Trek: The Next Generation 365. The episode story was done by Sara Charno and Stuart Charno. The teleplay was written by Ronald D. Moore.

The episode was directed by Chip Chalmers and featured guest stars Patti Yasutake, Brian Bonsall, and Caroline Kava.

This episode was first broadcast in syndication the week of March 2, 1992.

In the special effects scene for the experimental surgery, the character Worf is played by his photo-double Al Foster.

Plot
In a storage bay, Worf is hit by a barrel that falls from above. His spine is damaged, resulting in paraplegia. Dr. Crusher, the commanding medical physician on the Enterprise, consults a neurological specialist, Dr. Toby Russell, to aid in the treatment and provide professional expertise for Worf's injury.

During the review of Worf's case regarding the injury Dr. Russel states that Klingon anatomy is "over designed" and that she has not "seen so many unnecessary redundancies in one body". Dr. Crusher informs Dr. Russell that Klingons refer to the redundancies as the "brak'lul" and that almost every vital function has two organs in case of failure. After further discussions, she introduces Dr. Crusher to a genetic tissue generator device, the "genatronic replicator" that she has been using in experimental holographic simulation applications for which the "early results have been very encouraging". Dr. Crusher is impressed and was unaware of its use on humanoids. Dr. Russell reports that it has never been used on humanoid species and makes a suggestion that this experimental application be used to clone Worf's spinal cord for transplantation. Dr. Crusher has significant concerns regarding the use of an experimental treatment as Worf would be the first patient to have its use as a humanoid species and that they know little about Klingon anatomy and physiology for successful surgical procedure. Dr. Crusher informs Dr. Russell that conventional techniques will be used.

Dr. Crusher speaks to Worf and recommends implants that transmit neural signals which would allow him to regain about 60% of his mobility. However, Worf does not like the idea of being an injured warrior "lurching through corridors", so he considers his life to be over.

Dr. Russell volunteers to assist in treating injured colonists whose transport had struck a mine. Crusher finds that she has used an experimental drug on a patient who subsequently died, and quietly but strongly reprimands Russell for not using proven methods first.

Worf asks Commander Riker to assist him in performing a ritual suicide. Riker emphatically tells Worf that he will not help a friend commit suicide. Riker brings the issue to Captain Picard. Captain Picard asks Riker to take into account that the Klingon customs and beliefs are different than humans.

Riker points out that it is his son, Alexander, that the ritual states should assist. Unable to ask his son, Worf decides to risk undergoing the untested spine replacement procedure, against Dr. Crusher's advice.

The operation is performed with intermittent difficulties but ultimately results in a successful transplantation of the spinal cord. When Dr. Crusher orders the life support to be discontinued and have Worf awakened, his vital signs deteriorate and he proceeds to cardiac arrest and loss of "higher brain functions". They work to re-establish vitals signs with multiple medications one of which Dr. Russell says the amount given "that'll kill him" to which Dr. Crusher responds "looks like we've done a good job of that already doctor". Worf doesn't respond to the medication. The surgical assistant ensign Ogawa says Worf has "no BP, no pulse, no activity in the isocortex". Dr. Crusher asks for a "corticostimulator" a mechanical device that is placed on Worf's forehead to send electrical signals through his brain to revive him. After five unsuccessful attempts, Dr. Crusher pronounces Worf dead, while he lies on the operating room table. A distraught Dr. Crusher informs Troi and Alexander of his death. Alexander demands to see his father and is allowed to. While Alexander is mourning his father's death, Worf begins to breathe and make facial movements. Dr. Crusher quickly orders vital sign monitoring and administers medication. She surmises that due to the Klingon anatomical redundancies, an area of the Klingon brain helped restart his body's functions.

Later, Dr. Russell enters Dr. Crusher's office, and Crusher tells her that while she is delighted that Worf will recover, she is horrified by Russell's immoral methods of putting her own interests in collecting research data and gaining recognition above patients' interests and lives. Russell silently leaves the room.

Back in his quarters, Worf begins physical therapy, and accepts help from Alexander in learning to walk once again.

Reception
Screen Rant contributor Derek Draven argued that "Ethics" is the show's fifth "Most Important Episode with a Moral Message," writing that "'Ethics' is a two-pronged social message. The first involves the morality of committing suicide in the face of a tremendous physical challenge, while the other focuses on the lengths someone will go to in order to prove a medical theory. It's both poignant and relevant."

In 2011, the A.V. Club gave this episode a B−.

Releases
The episode was released in the United States on November 5, 2002, as part of the season five DVD box set. The first Blu-ray release was in the United States on November 18, 2013, followed by the United Kingdom the next day, November 19, 2013.

Fort McIntosh (Pennsylvania)

Fort McIntosh was an early American log frontier fort situated near the confluence of the Ohio River and the Beaver River in what is now Beaver, Pennsylvania.

Construction
The fortress was constructed in 1778 under the direction of Lt. Col. Cambray-Digny, a French engineer, and named in honor of General Lachlan McIntosh. The fortress was the site of the signing of the Treaty of Fort McIntosh on January 21, 1785. It was abandoned in 1791. After the Revolution, the fort was the home of the First American Regiment, the oldest active unit in the United States Army.

The fort was in the form of a trapezoid, about 150 feet on each side, with raised earthen bastions on each corner. Log palisades connected the bastions, and a 15 foot wide ditch protected three sides of the fort, with the 130 foot slope to the Ohio River protecting the other side. Inside were three barracks, warehouses, officer's quarters, a forge, kitchen, and powder magazines. The fort may have had either two or four iron cannon.

Excavation, 1976
Around the year 1976, citizens of the nearby community of Beaver decided, with great fanfare, to excavate the pilings and remaining stone foundations of the original fort. They were successful in locating the outlines of the Revolutionary-era fort. Their efforts culminated in a dedication, presided over by retired Gen. William Westmoreland, in the summer of 1977. In late 2010, a local business owner donated money for a granite and sandstone memorial on the fort site.

The fort site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. In 1996, most of Beaver was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the "Beaver Historic District. At that time, the fort site was singled out as one of the most significant of the district's 1,250 contributing properties.

The Beaver Area Heritage Foundation protects the restored site, which features granite monuments and bronze plaques, as well as the original stone footers of the walls and fireplaces.
