Sangay Ngedup

Lyonpo Sangay Ngedup (born 1 July 1953) was Prime Minister of Bhutan from 1999 to 2000 and again from 2005 to 2006.

Biography
Sangay Ngedup was born in Nobgang village in Punakha. He is the second child and eldest son in a family of three brothers and six sisters. Four of his sisters are married to the former King of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuck.

His father, Yab Dasho Ugyen Dorji (1925–2019), was the Founder and Proprietor of Ugyen Academy (03/04/2002). His mother is Yum Thuiji Zam (b. 1932).

His two brothers are:

 * Dasho Ugyen Tsechup (b. 1964).
 * Dasho Topgay (b. 1966).

His six sisters are:

 * Ashi Beda (b. 1951).
 * HM Ashi Dorji Wangmo (b. 1955).
 * HM Ashi Tshering Pem (b. 1957).
 * HM Ashi Tshering Yangdon (b. 1959), mother of King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck.
 * HM Ashi Sangay Choden (b 1963).
 * Ashi Sonam Choden (b. 1969).

He graduated from Dr. Graham's Homes in Kalimpong, India, and completed his tertiary education at St. Stephen's College in Delhi, India. In 1976, he joined the Bhutanese foreign service, and attended diplomatic courses in Australia and New Delhi.

In 1977, Lyonpo Sangay Ngedup served at the permanent mission of Bhutan to the United Nations in New York and later as second (and later first) secretary in the Royal Bhutan Embassy in New Delhi. In 1989, Lyonpo Sangay Ngedup was appointed as Ambassador to Kuwait.

He was transferred as the Director of Trade and Industry in 1989 and then as the joint secretary of the Planning Commission in April 1991. He became the Director General of Health in 1992. In 1998 he became Minister of Health and Education, and he served as Prime Minister from July 9, 1999, until July 20, 2000. He was Minister of Agriculture from 2003 to 2007, and on September 5, 2005, was appointed as Prime Minister again, serving until September 7, 2006. In July 2007 he resigned from the government, together with Prime Minister Lyonpo Khandu Wangchuk and five other ministers, to enter politics and prepare for the country's first ever democratic election in 2008. Lyonpo Sangay Ngedup, whose demonstrated leadership style is democratic, was unanimously elected as president and leader of the newly constituted People's Democratic Party.

In his presidential debate, the first ever held in February 2008, Lyonpo Sangay Ngedup has promised that, if he wins the election, he would base his policies of governing on Gross National Happiness (GNH), a philosophy (coined by the fourth king Jigme Singye Wangchuck, his brother-in-law) that states that happiness is more important than material growth for the people.

He led his party during the election, held on March 24, 2008, but lost in his own constituency; the People's Democratic Party took only two seats of a possible 47 in the National Assembly.

Lyonpo Sangay Ngedup was awarded the Red Scarf by His Majesty the King on August 24, 1987, and the Orange Scarf on January 1, 1998.

In 2002 he undertook with six other members the Move for Health Walk from Trashigang to the capital city of Thimphu covering on foot a distance of 560 km concluded successfully as scheduled. The Walk was conceived by Lyonpo Sangay Ngedup to promote the fund-raising for the Bhutan Health Trust Fund, an important initiative to keep the primary health services of Bhutan free of charge.

On 8 September 2015, he received the World Health Organization’s excellence in public health award.

Lyonpo Sangay Ngedup is the Honorary President of the Bhutan Scouts Association.

Talk:Metropolitan Borough of St Pancras

Signs
re: There are still a few street names signs with "Borough of St Pancras" on them.

Some of the signs around Charlotte Street are not original. They were replaced recently with new signs but with the old borough of St. Pancras text on instead of LB Camden. I guess as the old signs had survived from pre1965-c2000 they thought they should replace them with the same text (a rare sensitive act of a local authority usually hell-bent on branding every piece of street furniture and sign). I can think of examples of the original street signs surviving in every borough. Perhaps this will be good photo opportunity for each met boro page? MRSC 11:55, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Not being a Latin scholar myself I can't comment on the accuracy, but suggests "Persevering in justice with moderation", or  suggests "Well Versed in Justice". Any thoughts? DWaterson (talk) 20:33, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Monotropa

Monotropa is a genus of three species of herbaceous perennial flowering plants that were formerly classified in the family Monotropaceae and presently are classified in Ericaceae. They are native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and are generally rare. Unlike most plants they do not have chlorophyll and therefore are non-photosynthetic; rather, they are myco-heterotrophs that obtain food through parasitism on subterranean fungi. Because they do not need any sunlight to live, they can live in very dark sites such as the floor of deep sylvae. The name "Monotropa" is Greek for "one turn" as every plant has one large turn near the top of the plant.

Species
The genus consists of the following three species:

 * Monotropa coccinea
 * Monotropa hypopitys
 * Monotropa uniflora

Monotropa brittonii has been proposed as a separate species from Monotropa uniflora.

I've written a new page, not a copyvio. Terrace4 11:57, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

A good copyedit would do this entry a world of good
Lots of good content here. But a lot could be done to make this entry more accessible. I also see some pronoun reference problems, excessive jargon, and a rather stilted style that makes the content hard to understand.

Eperotao (talk) 18:58, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Quick comments about the mechanism section. It states that EGFR receptors autophosporylate each other following dimerization. Transphosphorylate would be more appropriate. There is indeed autophosphorylation in the activation mechanism but as the word says... it's AUTOphosphorylation, not on other receptor. I just think it's confusing to use that word. Also, at the end of the same section, it is written by inhibiting the ATP. The ATP is a molecule and by itself doesn't do much. It needs the catalytic activity of an enzyme to perform it's energy-related tasks. I think it would be better to say that the molecule (erlotinib) inhibits the intrinsic kinase domain of the protein (EGFR). Hope it can be useful to somebody...

I also agree with Eperotao on rendering this enry more accessible, specially to patients who use this drug as a cancer treatment.

I have absolutely no knowledge of wikipedia editing so sorry if I didn't just edit it.

Alexis — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.83.69.200 (talk) 18:35, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Common misconception in EGFR mechanism
"...These then use the molecule of ATP to trans-phosphorylate each other on tyrosine residues, which generates phosphotyrosine residues, recruiting the phosphotyrosine-binding proteins to EGFR..."

This is not true. EGFR activation mechanism is more like the Src/CDK-like kinases. It forms an asymmetric dimmer where 1 of the monomers functions as a cyclin, activating the other monomer. So, only 1 monomer has an active kinase domain. If someone doesn't refute me in due time, I'll cedit this part of the art. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.55.78.59 (talk) 12:45, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Thornliebank

Thornliebank (Scots: Thonliebank, Scottish Gaelic: Bruach nan Dealgan) is a suburban area in East Renfrewshire, in the west central Lowlands of Scotland. Part of the Greater Glasgow conurbation, it is located on the Auldhouse Burn about 6 mi south of Glasgow city centre, and just outside the city's administrative boundaries (the closest neighbourhoods within Glasgow, to the west and north of Thornliebank, being Arden, Carnwadric, Deaconsbank, Eastwood, Jenny Lind and Mansewood). The neighbouring East Renfrewshire town of Giffnock lies directly to the east, with Rouken Glen Park to the south.

The original village was founded in the 18th century and began to develop after the opening of a printworks in 1778, and subsequently other light industry. Despite industrial decline in the 20th century, Thornliebank continued to expand due to extensive public and private housing construction. As of the 2011 Census, the area has a population of 4,051.

History
It is not known when Thornliebank was first settled although it has been ascertained that it did not exist prior to the 18th century. The village first makes its appearance on Thomas Richardson's map of 1795 and was, at the time, referred to as 'Thorny Bank', a title believed to have been inspired by the substantial number of thorn trees that were prevalent in the area. In 1789 it was a little street of cottages but it had grown by 1845, to have a population of 1366. This was largely due to the Crum family, who established and ran the Thornliebank printworks. John Crum founded the works in Main Street in 1778 to print locally woven linen.

Walter Crum who was in charge by 1819 was a chemist and Fellow of the Royal Society. He replaced spinning and weaving by calico printing with bleaching, turkey red dyeing and "beetling". This brought immigrants from Northern Ireland and the New Statistical Account of Scotland described Thornliebank as "a very flourishing village where, thirty years ago, three families did not exist".

Walter's son Alexander Crum who took over the printing works was a major philanthropist supporting housing, education, and leisure facilities in the village. He also provided funds for the village club and Thornliebank Parish Church. Alexander Crum was Member of Parliament (MP) for Renfrewshire from 1880 to 1885. After his death he was commemorated by the Crum Library which was designed by the Scottish architect Sir Rowand Anderson and formally opened on 20 March 1897.

Woodfarm
Woodfarm is a residential area of Thornliebank, next to Rouken Glen Park and Eastwood Park. The housing is a mix of (mostly formerly) council-owned property, ex Army-owned houses, older bungalows and villas, and newer flats and family homes built within the last twenty years.

Woodfarm Playing Fields sports complex was completed in 2004. The development features a full-sized football pitch, three five-a-side football pitches (that can also be used as tennis courts), and a clubhouse with changing rooms. Woodfarm High School, opposite the complex, has use of the pitches on weekdays for physical education classes, while the public has access to the leisure facilities on evenings and weekends. There is also a separate Woodfarm Pavilion, a community hall with grass playing fields primarily used for cricket.

Demography
According to the 2011 census, the Thornliebank census locality had a total resident population of 4,051.

Transport
Public transport in the area is coordinated by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport. Thornliebank railway station is on the East Kilbride branch of the Glasgow South Western Line. Originally opened by the Busby Railway in 1881, it is served by half-hourly trains running between Glasgow Central and East Kilbride. Bus services are mainly provided by First Glasgow: services 10, 57 and 57A pass the railway station, while 38, 38A, 38B & 38C serve the Woodfarm area, all linking Thornliebank with Glasgow city centre.

The B769 (Spiersbridge Road) runs through the middle of Thornliebank, with the A727 running to the south of it, which leads to junction 3 of the M77 motorway at the western edge of the Thornliebank area.

Schools
Thornliebank Primary School is the local non-denominational primary school.

Thornliebank has one non-denominational secondary Woodfarm High School in the Woodfarm area. Thornliebank Primary acts as a feeder school for Woodfarm.

Our Lady of the Missions in Woodfarm is the Roman Catholic primary school for Thornliebank. It is a feeder school for St Ninian's High School, Giffnock.

List of artists with the most UK singles chart number ones

The UK singles chart is a weekly record chart which for most of its history was based on single sales from Sunday to Saturday in the United Kingdom. The chart was founded in 1952 by Percy Dickins of New Musical Express (NME), who telephoned 20 record stores to ask what their top 10 highest-selling singles were. Dickins aggregated the results into a top 12 hit parade. NME's chart was published each week in its eponymous magazine. From 2003, music downloads became included in the chart, and rules were altered in 2006 so that singles could chart before physical formats were released. Since July 2014, it has incorporated music streaming service data, with music video views counted towards the chart from July 2018. From 10 July 2015, the chart has been based on a Friday to Thursday week.

This list shows the twenty-seven artists with the most number ones on the UK singles chart. American singer-actor Elvis Presley has most number one singles with twenty-one. English band The Beatles have the most number one singles for a band, with eighteen. American singer Madonna has the most number ones for a female solo artist with thirteen. English girl group the Spice Girls have the most number one singles for a girl group with nine.

Good (Morphine album)

Good is the first album by the Boston-based alternative rock trio Morphine. It was released in 1992 on the Accurate/Distortion label. It was reissued by Rykodisc in 1993 after the band signed with the label.

Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that the album "establishes the goods, excavating a slippery, sultry groove that suggests blues and bebop without becoming either by providing ample room in the spacious mix for two evocative voices." AllMusic wrote, "While it may not be as stellar as their future releases would be ... Good did a splendid job of introducing the Boston trio's highly original sound. While it was the alternative crowd who immediately latched onto Morphine, their music was geared more toward the jazz scene – a wailing saxophone, lead bass (played with a slide), and lyrics influenced by '50s beat poetry were all-important ingredients."

Track listing

 * Japanese edition bonus track

2020 vinyl expanded edition
On September 9, 2019, the Run Out Groove label announced that Good had been voted as their next vinyl rerelease and would include a bonus record of unreleased tracks remastered from the original source tapes. It was released on January 17, 2020.
 * side one (1-6) and two (7-13) as per original album

 * Notes
 * All tracks on side three and four were recorded between 1989 and 1991. All tracks, except "Shame" and "Mona's Sister", are previously unreleased. "Shame" was released in 1993 as a B-side to the "Cure for Pain" single, and "Mona's Sister" was included on the 2004 box set Sandbox: The Mark Sandman Box Set.

Personnel
Adapted from the album's liner notes.

 * Morphine
 * Mark Sandman – vocals, 2-string slide bass, organ, guitar, tritar
 * Dana Colley – baritone saxophone, tenor saxophone, double saxophone, triangle, backing vocals on "You Look Like Rain"

Rico Barrera

Rico Barrera (born Frederick Barrera on December 29, 1984) is a Filipino actor, the first housemate evicted from the 12 housemates of Pinoy Big Brother on 2005.

Prior to entering the house, Barrera was a singer in Japan. He was the first housemate evicted, on his 21st day in Pinoy Big Brother's house. Among the violations that put him automatically into nomination were jumping into the pool while still wearing his lapel microphone and accidentally causing a pan to catch a flame, setting off the fire alarm.

After PPB, He became a flight steward and now a businessman. He became part of FrontRow International last 2012 and now belongs to Millionaires Club of FrontRow.

Barrera reportedly transferred to GMA 7 from ABS-CBN 2 last August 2009, due to his no projects of Kapamilya Network. He has now launched his first Kapuso Network TV show, Sine Novela Presents: Tinik Sa Dibdib. He was the second ex-PBB housemate transferred to GMA 7 after fellow ex-housemate Say Alonzo also transferred to GMA since 2008. But he returned to Kapamilya Network in 2010 and he is one of the cast of Magkano ang Iyong Dangal?.

A&E Records

A&E Records is a United Kingdom-based record label imprint, owned by Warner Music Group (WMG). It operates under the WEA International group of labels at WMG.

A&E Records was formalised in May 2003, when the NewsCorp Music Group of independent record labels (comprising Mushroom Records UK, Infectious Records, Ultimate Dilemma, Perfecto and 48K) were absorbed into WMG's East West after 20 months of negotiations, with all of its roster transferring over. In November 2004, A&E Records was realigned, and transferred across the company to within the Warner Bros label.

History
A&E Records was formalised on 19 May 2003, with all of Mushroom Records UK and Infectious' artist roster transferring over to the East West imprint, including its new signings The Darkness, Funeral for a Friend and Freeform Five, while Korda Marshall took up the position of managing director with the label. WMG completed its acquisition of Mushroom Records for around $15m (£9.2m) and East West absorbed the functions of Mushroom, which was closed the week prior. East West immediately re-issued its new artists back catalogue albums through A&E Records and Warner Strategic Marketing distribution.

The following year, from 25 June 2004, East West was subject to the rebranding as one of WMG's two frontline UK labels, changing to Atlantic Records (the other label WEA London becoming Warner Bros). On 14 November of that year, Marshall became managing director of Warner Bros. A&E Records was realigned, and transferred across the company to Warner Bros. The Infectious brand name and logo also transferred from Atlantic, along with Ash, Garbage and Muse.

A&E Records has continued to release records by Garbage (until 2007) and Timo Maas and to release Muse records through sub-label Helium 3. The role of Infectious within Warner Bros has been decreased and not including Ash releases, is being used for launching newly signed acts such as The Subways and Larrikin Love. Former parent Festival Mushroom Records was acquired by WMG on 21 October 2005 and its labels and artists absorbed into Warner Music Australia, however none of those artists have been transferred to A&E Records.

A&E Records discography
Albums

Mushroom Records UK
Mushroom Records UK was set up in London in 1993 by Gary Ashley, as an offshoot of the Australian independent label Mushroom Records, which had been formed in 1972 by Michael Gudinski and Ray Evans in Melbourne. Mushroom Records UK was intended mainly to serve the UK with Australian musical imports. Marshall had previously been RCA's head of A&R, and had left the company to establish his own Infectious Records which he aligned under Mushroom Records UK.

The label's first worldwide signing was US rock group Garbage, who became the flagship for the label, achieving multi-million sales with their first album release. Concerned that they were only known in the United Kingdom for the Neighbours theme (composed by Mushroom Music Publishing), to move away from the association, Mushroom founded the Discordant label for the sole purpose of launching Garbage. Although following their debut single, Garbage were reconciled with the main label, a few Australian acts such as Garageland and Deadstar were licensed to Discordant.

Mushroom had early success with Australian singer Peter Andre, while retaining a diverse roster signing UK acts such as The Wildhearts, and importing Australian acts such as Deni Hines, Christian Fry, Ween, Antenna, Sister2Sister, VAST and Yothu Yindi. Several acts were signed to Infectious Records, including Ash, Symposium, My Vitriol, Cable, Seafood, Elevator Suite and Pop Will Eat Itself, while Mushroom licensed local signing Muse from Taste Media. Sub labels Perfecto had successes with Paul Oakenfold and offshoot label 48K artist Timo Maas; sister label Ultimate Dilemma also had Zero 7, Magnet and Roots Manuva on its books. In 1999, Mushroom Records UK was one of only two labels who wanted to sign singer Kylie Minogue (ultimately she chose to sign to Parlophone).

With these acts charting highly brought Mushroom to the front stage of music in the UK, with an initial £5,000 turnover increasing to £23m over its 10 years, however Marshall began to extricate Mushroom UK from the Mushroom family during 2001, after the parent company had been sold in 1999 to Rupert Murdoch's Newscorp, and merged with his Festival Records to form Festival Mushroom Records. Mushroom Records UK was slowly wound down as negotiations crystallised; its last release was the Garbage single "Shut Your Mouth" in September 2002.

Eye Witness
As a small boy, less than ten years old, I was brought with my father to the playing-field in Blackrock, near Tivoli, Cork City to witness The Railway Cup final. Munster were away behind. Christy was well guarded. He shouted that if he had not the ball he could do nothing! Presently the ball came straight at him at head-hight, plus words that cannot be repeated! Christy, bent this way and that way, swong his very shalacked hurley, and after that no one there saw the ball travel, just the tinkling at the back of the net! Silence! The ref. came up and asked Christy if he hit the ball that went to the back of the net? Christy lost hit his temper! The Goal was allowed. Munster went on to win by at least 2 Goals. Any one remember this better? This was one of the last matches Christy played!

I think a priest discovered him? Asking the boys playing hurley to attempt to put the ball through the window of the Church, and promised a reward. The priest was of the opinion that if the window was broken anyway there was no harm! Christy won every time! MacOfJesus (talk) 11:57, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

One of the things that Christy said when the ref. asked him the question was: "There it is now; but if you cannot see it....". It would appear from that, Christy was looking for the perfect fast goal. No one there saw the ball travel, so I guess it must have travelled faster than 200MPH.

La Mer (song)

"La Mer" ("The Sea") is a song by the French composer, lyricist, singer and showman Charles Trenet. The song was first recorded by the French singer Roland Gerbeau in 1945. When Trenet's version was released in 1946, it became an unexpected hit and has remained a chanson classic and jazz standard ever since.

Background and history
Trenet said that he had written an initial version of the song's lyrics as a poem at the age of 16, many years before he came up with a tune for it. The tune came to him while he was travelling by train in 1943 between Montpellier and Perpignan as he was gazing out of the window at the Étang de Thau, a lagoon in the south of France. He jotted it down on a piece of paper and in the afternoon he worked out the details with his pianist Léo Chauliac. That evening they performed it in front of an audience without much of an impact.

The song was not recorded before the end of World War II. It was first offered to Suzy Solidor who declined it, then to Roland Gerbeau who recorded it with Jo Bouillon's orchestra at the end of 1945. The orchestration and chorus were provided by Albert Lasry. Trenet himself recorded his song for the first time in 1946.

Over the years the song became popular throughout the world and developed into a chanson classic and jazz standard with a large number of prominent artists recording their versions. Besides the original in French, the song was also recorded in several other languages, with the English version "Beyond the Sea", being particularly popular and becoming the signature song for the American singer Bobby Darin. In 1966 there were already over 100 different recordings of "La Mer", and it was considered to be France's best-selling song, together with Édith Piaf's "La Vie en rose". By the time of Trenet's death in 2001, there were more than 4,000 different recordings of it, with over 70 million copies sold in total.

Despite various translations into other languages, the original French version was popular outside France and with non-French musicians as well. Trenet published his recording in the US in 1947 and Bing Crosby recorded "La Mer" on his 1953 album Le Bing: Song Hits of Paris.

Charles Trenet's recording of "La Mer" is choreographed in Matthew Bourne's 1989 ballet suite Infernal Galop, "a French dance with English subtitles", in which a merman seduces three matelots.

The song was also recorded by Cliff Richard. In 1976 Julio Iglesias included the song on his live album En el Olympia. The song was included on Dalida's 1999 posthumous album Besame Mucho. Demis Roussos included the song on his 1995 studio album Immortel.

More recent versions include Kristina & Laura, Miguel Bosé, Manlio Sgalambro, Lisa del Bo, Biréli Lagrène, Patricia Kaas, Lola Dutronic, Mireille Mathieu, Chantal Chamberland and others. The Avalon Jazz Band, with lead singer Tatiana Eva-Marie, included a contemporary arrangement of "La Mer" on their 2021 album April in Paris.

Instrumental versions were done by Benny Goodman, Ray Conniff His Orchestra and Chorus, Le Grand Orchestre de Paul Mauriat, Richard Clayderman and Django Reinhardt.

"Beyond the Sea"
The English-language version of "Beyond the Sea" was first recorded by Harry James and His Orchestra in 1947. Its lyrics, telling the story of two lovers separated by the sea, were written by Jack Lawrence. It has since been recorded by many artists, including Bobby Darin, Stevie Wonder, Mantovani, Roger Williams and Gisele MacKenzie.

"De zee"
In 1970, Belgian singer Lize Marke released a version of the song with added lyrics by Johnny Steggerda and Jack Bess.

"Das Meer"
The first German version was written in 1948 by Hans Fritz Beckmann and Lale Andersen. The latter recorded it with Michael Jary and his orchestra in the same year. However, Beckmann was unhappy with the first attempt and rewrote it. The new version was first recorded by the German actress and singer Liselotte Malkowsky in 1949 and became rather popular in German-speaking countries. Later recordings comprise the Austrian Schlager singer Lolita, the Austrian soprano Eva Lind, the Italian-German singer and entertainer Caterina Valente, and the German entertainer and band leader Götz Alsmann.

"Волна" ("Volna")
A Russian version named "Волна" ("Wave") was adapted by two Soviet Russian poets and translators, Samuil Bolotin and Tatiana Sikorskaya, in the 1950s for Leonid Utesov, a popular Soviet singer. It was included on the album called Ах, Одесса моя ("Oh, my Odessa").

"La Mer" (Caetano Veloso)
Brazilian musician Caetano Veloso released a 2024 version of the French song, singing it in French. He says he recorded the song at the request of writer Christine Angot, who was in the audience at a Paris performance where Caetano sang "La Mer" as a posthumous tribute to his manager Guilherme Araújo, who had always asked him to record the French song.

Usage in popular culture
The French original is featured prominently in a variety of films, including L.A. Story, in which it is played during the opening montage; French Kiss (1995), in which it is sung by lead actor Kevin Kline and Mr. Bean's Holiday, which uses a recording of Trenet himself in its final scene. It also is played in the last episode of White Collar. The song is sung in the French documentary film Blood of the Beasts (1949). It is performed in the film A Life Less Ordinary (1997) by Ewan McGregor and Cameron Diaz. The Trenet recording is heard over the end credits of an episode of The Simpsons titled "The Squirt and the Whale".

On British television, the original version of the song was used as the title music for ITV's coverage of UEFA Euro 2016.

The Robbie Williams version plays over the closing credits of Finding Nemo and is included on the soundtrack.

"La Mer" has been used in films such as Bernardo Bertolucci's 2003 The Dreamers, the 2010 German film Animals United, and Natalie Portman's 2015 A Tale of Love and Darkness. A Julio Iglesias version plays in the final scene of the 2011 spy film Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli's recording of "La Mer" features in the video games BioShock (2007) and BioShock Infinite (2013). Director Ken Levine additionally wanted Charles Trenet's original rendition but could not secure the rights.

"La Mer" also features in Irish Ferries' TV and radio advert in Ireland, as part of their "Sail In Style" campaign to advertise their Dublin–France route.

"La Mer" was used in Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones' sci-fi anthology series Black Mirror. It is featured in the third episode of Season 6 "Beyond The Sea".

Jewish Town Hall (Prague)

The Jewish Town Hall (Židovská radnice) in Josefov, Prague, was constructed adjacent to the Old New Synagogue on the corner of Maiselova and Červená Ulice in 1586 in Renaissance style under the sponsorship of Mayor Mordechai Maisel. It acquired its Rococo facade in the 18th century.

The building was the main meeting house of the local Jewish community but is currently closed to the public. It is perhaps best known for its two clocks, one on a tower with Roman numeral markings, the other, lower, has Hebrew numerals, which are the same as letters in the Hebrew alphabet. The Hebrew numerals begin with aleph and continue counterclockwise around the clock dial.

Hippolyte Pixii

Hippolyte Pixii (1808–1835) was an instrument maker from Paris, France. In 1832 he built an early form of alternating current electrical generator, based on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday. Pixii's device was a spinning magnet, operated by a hand crank, where the north and south poles passed over a coil with an iron core, and thus classified as a magneto. A current pulse was produced each time a pole passed over the coil. He also found that the current direction changed when the north pole passed over the coil after the south pole. Later, acting on a suggestion by André-Marie Ampère, other results were obtained by introducing a commutator which produced a pulsating direct current. At that time direct current was preferable to alternating current. Although Pixii did not fully understand electromagnetic induction, his device led to more sophisticated devices being constructed. A reproduction of Pixii's electrical generator can be admired at the Ampère Museum, close to Lyon.

Cecilienhof

Cecilienhof Palace (Schloss Cecilienhof) is a palace in Potsdam, Brandenburg, Germany, built from 1914 to 1917 in the layout of an English Tudor manor house. Cecilienhof was the last palace built by the House of Hohenzollern that ruled the Kingdom of Prussia and the German Empire, until the end of World War I. It is famous for having been the location of the Potsdam Conference in 1945, in which the leaders of the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States made important decisions affecting the shape of post-World War II Europe and Asia. Cecilienhof has been part of the Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin UNESCO World Heritage Site, since 1990.

Location
Cecilienhof is located in the northern part of the large Neuer Garten park, close to the shore of the Jungfernsee lake. The park was laid out from 1787 at the behest of King Frederick William II of Prussia, modelled on the Wörlitz Park in Anhalt-Dessau. Frederick William II also had the Marmorpalais (Marble Palace) built within the Neuer Garten, the first Brandenburg palace in the Neoclassical style erected, according to plans designed by Carl von Gontard and Carl Gotthard Langhans, which was finished in 1793. Other structures within the park close to Schloss Cecilienhof include an orangery, an artificial grotto (), the "Gothic Library", and the Dairy in the New Garden, also constructed for king Frederick William II.

The park was largely redesigned as an English landscape garden according to plans by Peter Joseph Lenné from 1816 onwards, with lines of sight to nearby Pfaueninsel, Glienicke Palace, Babelsberg Palace, and the Sacrow Church.

Construction
Since the Marmorpalais, which had been the traditional Potsdam residence of the Hohenzollern crown prince, had become inadequate for current tastes, Emperor Wilhelm II ordered the establishment of a fund for constructing a new palace at Potsdam for his oldest son, Crown Prince Wilhelm (William) and his wife, Duchess Cecilie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin on 19 December 1912. After their marriage in 1905, Wilhelm and Cecilie had previously lived at the Marmorpalais for most of the year and at the Berlin Kronprinzenpalais in winter. In 1911, the Crown Prince had been appointed commander of the Prussian ''1. Leibhusaren-Regiment'' and moved to Danzig-Langfuhr.

On 13 April 1914 the Imperial Ministry and the Saalecker Werkstätten signed a building contract that envisaged a completion date of 1 October 1915 and a construction cost of 1,498,000 Reichsmark for the new palace. The architect was Paul Schultze-Naumburg, who visited the couple in Danzig to work out the design for the palace. It was based on English Tudor style buildings, arranged around several courtyards featuring half-timbered walls, bricks and 55 different decorative chimney stacks. With the start of World War I in August 1914, construction stopped but was resumed in 1915.

Architecture and interior design
Crown Prince Wilhelm was so impressed with cottage and Tudor style homes like Bidston Court in Birkenhead (England) that Cecilienhof was inspired by it. Also, due to Duchess Cecilie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin's family ties, German Tudor-styled Gelbensande Manor near Rostock in Mecklenburg-Schwerin was an inspiration. The palace was designed in such a way as to be inhabitable for most of the year. Its low structure and multiple courts conceal the fact that it boasts a total of 176 rooms. Besides the large Ehrenhof (three-sided courtyard) in the centre, which was used only for the arrival and departure of the Crown Prince and his wife, there is a smaller garden court, the Prinzengarten, and three other courts around which the various wings of the building are arranged. The "public" rooms were located in the centre part on the ground floor, around a central great hall, while above on the first floor were the "private" bedroom, dressing rooms and bathrooms. The living area of the great hall also features a massive wooden stairway made of oak. This was a gift from the city of Danzig. The ground floor rooms included an area for the Crown Prince with smoking room, library and breakfast room as well as an area for his wife with music salon, writing room and a room designed like a cabin on an ocean liner. The latter was used by Cecilie as a breakfast room. Like some of the other rooms it was designed by Paul Ludwig Troost, who also designed actual interiors of ocean liners for the Norddeutscher Lloyd shipping line.

History before 1945
The palace was finished in August 1917. It was named Cecilienhof after the Duchess and the couple moved in immediately. Cecilie gave birth at Cecilienhof to her youngest child, Princess Cecilie, who was born on 5 September 1917. However, when the revolution erupted in November 1918, for security reasons Cecilie and her six children moved for a while to the Neues Palais, where the wife of Emperor Wilhelm II, Empress Augusta Victoria, was living. After the Empress followed her husband into exile in the Netherlands, Cecilie remained in Potsdam and returned to Cecilienhof where she lived until 1920. As the property of the Hohenzollern family had been confiscated after the revolution, Cecilie then had to move her residence to an estate at Oels in Silesia, which was a private property. Only her sons Wilhelm (William) and Louis Ferdinand remained at Cecilienhof while they attended a public Realgymnasium (school) in Potsdam. Crown Prince Wilhelm had gone into exile in the Netherlands on 13 November 1918 and was interned on the island of Wieringen. He was allowed to return to Germany—as a private citizen—on 9 November 1923. In June 1926, a referendum on expropriating the former ruling Princes of Germany without compensation failed and as a consequence, the financial situation of the Hohenzollern family improved considerably. A settlement between the state and the family made Cecilienhof property of the state but granted a right of residence to Wilhelm and Cecilie. This was limited in duration to three generations.

Wilhelm subsequently broke the promise he had made to Gustav Stresemann, who allowed him to return to Germany, to stay out of politics. He supported the rise to power of Adolf Hitler, who visited Cecilienhof three times, in 1926, in 1933 (on the "Day of Potsdam") and in 1935. However, when Wilhelm realized that Hitler had no intention of restoring the monarchy, their relationship cooled. After the assassination attempt on 20 July 1944, Hitler had Wilhelm placed under supervision by the Gestapo and had Cecilienhof watched.

In January 1945, Wilhelm left Potsdam for Oberstdorf for a treatment of his gall and liver problems. Cecilie fled in early February 1945 as the Red Army drew closer to Berlin, without being able to salvage much in terms of her possessions. At the end of the war, Cecilienhof was seized by the Soviets.

Potsdam Conference of 1945
The Potsdam Conference (officially the "Berlin Conference") took place from 17 July to 2 August 1945. It was the third and longest summit between the heads of government of the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States, the major forces in the anti-Hitler-coalition that had just won the war after VE day, 8 May 1945. The conference was mainly organized by the Soviets. Although the British prime minister Winston Churchill had refused to hold a summit "anywhere within the current Soviet military zone", US President Harry Truman and Soviet leader Josef Stalin had agreed in late May 1945 to meet "near Berlin". As Berlin itself had been too heavily damaged by Allied bombing and street-to-street fighting, Cecilienhof in Potsdam was selected as the location for the conference. The delegations were to be housed in the leafy suburb of Potsdam-Babelsberg, which had suffered only slight damage in the bombing raids and also offered the advantage that the streets to the conference venue were easy to guard.

Soviet soldiers repaired the streets connecting Babelsberg to Cecilienhof, built a pontoon bridge to replace the Glienicker Brücke, which had been destroyed during the last days of the war, planted trees, bushes and flower beds—including the Soviet red star in the Ehrenhof of the palace. At Cecilienhof, 36 rooms and the great hall were renovated and furnished with furniture from other Potsdam palaces. The furniture of Wilhelm and Cecilie had been removed by the Soviets and stored at the Dairy.

The main rooms used for the conference were as follows: However, according to the official guide to the palace, evidence has recently emerged that indicates that the current designation of the British and American studies may have been switched by the Soviets after the conference.
 * Cecilie's music salon—White Salon, used by the Soviet delegation as a reception room (on the first day of the conference, this was also the site of a buffet Stalin provided to the other delegations),
 * Cecilie's writing room—Red Salon, used by the Soviet delegation as a study,
 * Great hall—this was the conference hall, fitted by the Soviets with a round table of 10 feet diameter (probably custom-made by a Moscow-based furniture company),
 * Wilhelm's smoking room—study of the American delegation,
 * Wilhelm's library—study of the British delegation,
 * Wilhelm's breakfast room—possibly used as a secretary's office.

Post World War II and today
After the conference ended, Soviet troops used the palace as a clubhouse. It was handed over to the state of Brandenburg and in 1952 a memorial for the Conference was set up in the former private chambers of Wilhelm and Cecilie. The government of Eastern Germany also used the palace as a reception venue for state visits. The rest of the complex became a hotel in 1960. Some of the rooms were used by the ruling party (SED) for meetings.

However, after 1961, a part of the Neuer Garten was destroyed to build the southwest section of the Berlin Wall (as part of the Grenzsicherungsanlagen), which ran along the shore of Jungfernsee. Beginning in 1985, the VEB Reisebüro (state-owned travel agency) modernised the hotel.

Today, parts of Cecilienhof are still used as a museum and as a hotel. In 1990, it became part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, called Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin. The private rooms were opened to the public in 1995, after comprehensive restoration work. Queen Elizabeth II visited Cecilienhof on 3 November 2004. On 30 May 2007, the palace was used for a summit by the G8 foreign ministers. In 2011, Schloss Cecilienhof was awarded the European Heritage Label. The redesigned permanent exhibition on the Potsdam Conference was reopened in April 2012.

Albero I of Louvain

Albero I of Louvain (1070 – 1 January 1128) was the 57th Prince-Bishop of Liège from 1123 until his death.

Albero was the third son of Henry II, Count of Leuven and Adela of Tweisterbant.

After the suspicious death of Prince-Bishop Frederick of Liege in 1121, Holy Roman Emperor Henry V appointed Alexander of Jülich as his successor. But Friedrich von Schwarzenburg, Archbishop of Cologne refused to ordain Alexander, and the see remained vacant.

The next year, the Concordat of Worms was signed between the Emperor and Pope Callixtus II. As a consequence, Albero of Leuven became the new Bishop of Liège in 1123.

Albero restored order in the Bishopric with the support of his brother Godfrey I, Count of Leuven.

The show never says that Biff is gay and that Chip is straight, but it's somewhat implied like Smithers in The Simpsons, but Biff's sexuality is never confirmed. I think that part of the article should be removed.

The Mayor
I have noticed that the character called Johnny "The Mayor" Bledsoe is missing in the latter episodes, and at the start of the series HE is the father of the Debbies, while later when he vanishes, Mr. Climer is their father. What's the deal with this? It's not mentioned in the article either.

The Debbies aren't related. They're just all exactly the same. They have different parents. The Mayor is one. Mr. Climer is another.

Hmm...and they say that the valley is the place with all the polluted mutations? Well thanks for clearing that up. It was quite confusing.

Hey, that's interesting.
Were Biff and Chip conjoined in the womb? Because aren't conjoined twins always identical? Are Biff and Chip identical, cause don't they have different colored hair? If they're identical, then I guess that a message of the show is that you aren't born gay. Cause if people are born gay, then both twins would have to be gay. LOLPolitician818 22:35, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

 * 1. You're reading too much into the show. It's a goddamn cartoon... 2. The gay comment is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Neither of them is gay (RTFA), so there was no reason for it. And even so, if one of them was gay, I severely doubt that that would be a 'message of the show.' Once again, reading too much into it.

You're not too bright. It's obvious that I was being somewhat tongue in cheek. How about I write LOL after a tongue in cheek comment then, so you can get it? Also, Biff is gay or at least unsure of his sexual "orientation." His diary reveals him obsessing about his coach while they're naked in a bathtub or spa together. Maybe they got conjoined for different reasons, as in that weird Family Guy episode where Cleveland and Quagmire got conjoined. Politician818 02:37, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Lance, being a cunt makes you a cunt.

o-o umm identical twins aren't completely identical. Things like their finger prints are different. You can have identical twins were one is gay and the other isn't >> And like the other people said (rather rudely) It is just aT.V. show. fingerprints are diffrent.

---

fingerprints being different on identical twins has nothing to do with DNA. their fingerprints may be different, but their DNA is the same. if the whole "homosexuality being hereditary" theory is true, they would both have the same sexual orientation. this is, however, considering they are in fact identical twins. twins become conjoined when identical twins stop splitting somewhere in the middle, and so (in real life, at least) all conjoined twins must be of identical DNA. the oblongs are known for being either physically or mentally (or both) retarded or just fucking deformed. simply being conjoined twins doesnt seem "retarded" enough for a mature-audience show, so they were made to have different hair colors (not identical). this is what makes them "weird". make sense?

17 vs. 14 Episodes
Which is the correct number..? In the Infobox it states 17, whereas the episode listing downbelow therefrom the Adult Swim website lists 14. DrWho42 17:18, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

13 original episodes According to Angus Oblong's site (he's the creator of the series), there were only 13 episodes. This is repeated on several other sites.

Oblongs Episodes and Deleting of False Rumor
There are 13 episodes according to my Oblongs DVD Box Set :D

I am also deleting the rumor about Oblongs Coming back.

In 2006, Casanova Shamdil announced that he will be bringing back The Oblongs with his independent production company, Creepy productions.

Peggy Weggy's Parents
I don't think that it is implied Peggy's parents are two homosexual men; instead their deformity/disability is being androgynous or possibly even hermamphrodites. I even think there's a joke about this in the Parents Night epidsode.

-- Yeah I was just watching it, and I think the joke is that you can't tell if it's two men, or a feminine man and a butch woman. Alexcicio (talk) 06:06, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Pull off an Australian airing
As I recall the first prime time airing was advertised as a double episode with only one being aired (the second episode's synopsis fits what we received in Adelaide with a station voice over rather than opening credits). The rumour it was pulled off mid episode (which it may have been in other regions) is credible as the station had a history of taking off or playing whatever its owner decided, schedules b'damned. MartinSFSA (talk) 19:12, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I can't speak for Adelaide but in Sydney I definitely recall The Oblongs premiered at 7:30 followed by Nikki at 8pm. Both shows were pulled after one episode(not during) and eventually shown the following year at different timeslots. I edited the article and provided sources.MrTwig (talk) 02:08, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Beth's Doll
I though the Doll was a (used?) tampon and was named Flowie (Flowy?)

Yami (talk) 03:00, 27 December 2008 (UTC) Beth's doll is named "Slowie" and talks to it occasionally.

Character names
What exactly is the source of all of the characters middle names? I don't recall it ever being mentioned on the show nor do I remember ever seeing anything in the show's press releases or on Angus Oblong's website. Can someone please provide a valid reference and source for these otherwise they should be removed. Rosie, Queen of Corona (talk) 04:35, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

The Rugrats?
The section comparing the characters to Rugrats characters is nonsense and incoherent. I am hesitant to remove an entire section but I can't see how it's relevant or even true (seriously, the only difference between Phil and Lil and Chip and Biff are that Phil and Lil aren't conjoined? I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that Lil has at least one other major difference from Chip and Bill AND Phil.)  If no one objects with a rational reason why this section is included, I think it should be removed. And if it must stay, it desperately needs some help. Witchzenka (talk) 05:19, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

I think of Tommy every time I hear/see Milo, hah. Blsupr (talk) 15:56, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Suzie smiling
I removed the information that says Suzie only smiles once in the series, in the episode Disfigured Debbie at Debbie's funeral, because I saw all episodes and she is shown smiling several times. For example:

 * In the episode Flush, Flush, Sweet Helga, when Elga is stuck on the sewer and is about to get drowned there, Suzie smiles, and previously, when Milo's mom decides to give a party to the kids, she laughs and applauds.

 * In Disfigured Debbie, she smiles at Debbie's funeral, but previously, when Milo's decides to challenge Debbie in a school election, she and all of his friends laugh at him together. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brazilian Man (talk • contribs) 05:09, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Should I add this?
"The Oblongs is still currently airing on Adult Swim every Friday at 12:00AM and 4:00AM, however The Office will replace it the week after September 11."

I'd would use this as my reference: http://www.adultswim.com/schedule/onair.html Blsupr (talk) 15:53, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Is The Page Gonna Change It's Name?
It says that a new show is coming and its called "The Chamomiles" which has the same premise as the original Oblongs. Also, the characters are different too. If your gonna change the title to something else... Change the page name to where the information will be under the new name of "The Chamomiles". Thank you

Are the Japanese voice actors here a joke? I can find no evidence that these people ever voice acted in this, nor it even existing in Japan.

Talk:Raptor: Call of the Shadows

Mountain King Studios
Did really Mountain King Studios develop this game? I see different answers when i google for it. 129.177.138.102

 * I was a little surprised to read that Raptor wasn't a 100% Apogee game (developed and published by), so I searched for Mountain King Studios and found their webpage, and their about page says that they developed it. Since there was nothing to contradict this on Apogee's Raptor page I figured it was true. I noted that initialy Apogee was listed as the developer and MKS as the publisher, this seemed wrong to me since this would be the only game (that I know of) that Apogee developed but not published. So if you have any further info to add, what I wrote was by no means the last word. Qutezuce 20:17, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

 * "this would be the only game (that I know of) that Apogee developed but not published." Google for ScubaVenture, 81.70.123.72 14:28, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Mountain King Studios was originally Cygnus Studios. After changing their name, they ported the game's main executable to Windows and removed the Backspace cheat. The save files and game data files were unchanged, so the player can move saved games to the Windows version. This allows a workaround to the removal of the Backspace cheat. Create a pilot in the DOS version, start the game, hit Backspace then abort the mission and save. Copy the saved game to the folder where the Windows version is and load it. you now have several Death Ray weapons. Sell all but one and pig out on weaponry you couldn't otherwise purchase so soon. The super hard mode with the indestructable monkies is in both DOS and Windows versions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.136.145.241 (talk) 08:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC).

Plasmaray Vs. Deathray.
Which is the correct name for this weapon? Are there different versions of Raptor or something (such as American and British)? If there are different versions, in my version, this weapon is called the "Plasmaray", but here it's called the "Deathray". Is there a difference? Acalamari 23:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Backspace cheat
Why shouldn't the backspace key cheat be mentioned in this article? The cheat was specifically mentioned in the user's manual of the Apogee/Cygnus release. The hardcore icon the sandman 02:45, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 * The backspace cheat is official information, and I'm sure it's correct. That's not the problem. According to the Wikipedia Guidelines, scope of gaming articles and WP:NOT, some specific game material simplfy doesn't belong in Wikipedia. In general (see the links for more info), the rule is that if some information is only useful for someone playing the game, it doesn't belong in Wikipedia. In this case, the cheat and the information on what it does is only useful for someone playing the game, so according to Wikipedia guidelines, it doesn't belong here. Maybe a general comment on the game containing cheats for registered users is appropiate for wikipedia; but the kind of detail on the backspace cheat is not. There are other wikis where this kind of information is appropiate, GamerWiki I think, GameFAQs.com, etc. Sega381 02:58, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Ah okay, I read the guidelines on it, I got it now, Thanks. The hardcore icon the sandman 03:28, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

For seekers of easter eggs, I started the game today and found that the Apogee theme was replaced by the designers' slightly drunken chanted rendition. This is Jim M.'s birthday. --Kizor 01:30, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Isn't saying "Nonetheless, Raptor is still considered far more polished and realistic-looking. At its release, Raptor had the best graphics of any scrolling shooter to date, and despite over a decade since its release, the graphics are still considered good quality." and referring to a highly subjective review quite non-NPOV? I'm removing that statement. 90.231.50.62 (talk) 16:15, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I made a number of changes to the Wikipedia page regarding the gameplay details; I think that section was poorly written in general, with some things being vague or even untrue. I did not add any information on the backspace cheat, but to be honest I think that such information would not be out of scope of the Wikipedia article. That such a game-breaking and easy cheat exists IS of concern to those who aren't playing the game, but are considering whether or not they want to play or buy the game. Some people might like that while others might hate it. I did add a brief section on how to fire all the selectable weapons simultaneously, which isn't nearly as detailed as it needs to be to teach someone how to do it right, but it does essentially tell what should be done, and players can experiment for themselves how to get it to work optimally. However, I would admit that such information might indeed fall into the out-of-scope area, so if someone wants to remove that information (which can seem confusing), I would not be opposed. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the only one in the world who did that. It's pretty valuable information though, I should probably write an FAQ for it but Raptor is so old now that it's probably not worth the bother. WikiPorc (talk) 04:29, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Jake Meyer

Jake Julian Barrington Meyer (born 20 January 1984) is a British mountaineer and adventurer. He achieved fame by becoming the youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest in 2005, aged 21 years 4 months. In doing so, Meyer also became the youngest man in the world to climb the Seven Summits. More recently in 2018 he summited K2, the second highest mountain in the world, and climbed Everest a second time. He has taken part in over 30 expeditions around the world.

Early life
From Tetbury in Gloucestershire, England, Meyer was educated at Beaudesert Park School, Hawtreys, Cheam School and Marlborough College, then embarked on the study of Environmental Geoscience at Bristol University, where he was also a member of Bristol University Officer Training Corps. He has since been commissioned into the Royal Wessex Yeomanry as an Armoured Troop Leader and has served in Afghanistan.

Meyer began climbing at 13. Aged 15, he saw in the new millennium with his father from the crater rim of his first summit, Kilimanjaro. At 18, he climbed Mount Elbrus in Southern Russia, Europe's highest peak. In 2002, he was awarded with a Winston Churchill Memorial Trust travelling fellowship to climb Elbrus (aged 18), Aconcagua (aged 18), Denali (aged 19) and Mount Kosciuszko (aged 19), the highest peaks in North and South America and Australia. He then climbed Mount Vinson, the highest peak in Antarctica, before attempting Everest.

Everest
Meyer ascended from the Tibetan side, via the North Col-North East Ridge route. The climb started on 2 April 2005, reaching the summit on 4 June 2005.

He was accompanied by Diahanne Gilbert, the Scottish team leader, and two Sherpas, Mingma Nuru and Anil Bhattarai.

Meyer's climb was in aid of the Children's Wish Foundation.

On the 23rd May 2023, Meyer summited Everest for a second time via the South Col Route from Nepal with Fursang Sherpa. This followed an attempt to climb Kanchenjunga, where he was part of a team that reached c8350m before turning back after the rope fixing team ran out of rope.

Records
Meyer has broken and holds or has previously held several records:
 * Youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest (2005-held until 2006). His "youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest" record was broken in 2006 by Rob Gauntlett who was 19 at the time.
 * Youngest man in the world to have completed the Seven Summits (Bass Variant). Meyer was 'pipped at the post' to the title of "youngest person in the world" to climb the Seven Summits by 20-year-old American Danielle Fisher, who summitted three days earlier, taking the South Col route, but was able to claim being the youngest man in the world to complete the Seven Summits.
 * Youngest ascent of Mount Vinson (highest mountain in the Antarctic) (2004 - held for 8 days)
 * Youngest solo ascent of Aconcagua (highest mountain outside the Himalayas) (2002)
 * Tenth (and youngest) Briton to summit K2 2018. His successful summit was the culmination of 3 attempts over 9 years (2009, 2016 and 2018). At the time he was the seventh Briton to have survived summiting K2. Meyer used his 2016 and 2018 expeditions to raise money for Walking With The Wounded.
 * Shortest time to visit the highest point in every county in the UK. 82 counties, metropolitan counties and unitary authorities in 7 days, 4 hours and 20 minutes (2008)
 * Shortest time to climb the highest peak in each of the 48 states of the Continental USA. The Freestyle Challenge was completed in 23 days 19 hours 31 minutes in 2006 as Meyer reached the summit of Mount Katahdin in Maine. The British team of 6 mountaineers were all from Bristol University and shaved nearly six days off the existing record of 29 days, previously held by American Ben Jones. Meyer's record held for nearly 9 years until it was broken by American's Josh and Lindsay Sanders in a time of 19 days, 7 hours and 37 minutes.

Charity and youth work
Meyer has often used his expeditions to raise money for charities which are close to his heart, especially military and youth charities. He is an ambassador for Walking With The Wounded, and has also fundraised for Help for Heroes and the ABF (Soldier's Charity). He is a keen supporter of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme, and has also supported the Prince's Trust, Make a Wish Foundation, Prince's Teaching Institute, the CAIRN Trust (Child Action in Rural Nepal), and Mercy Ships. He is a regular speaker at schools around the UK and has a Explorer Scout Group named after him (The Meyer Explorer Scouts in Dursley, Gloucestershire).

Meyer was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) in the 2020 Birthday Honours for services to mountaineering, young people and charity.
