Władysław Broniewski

Władysław Kazimierz Broniewski (17 December 1897 – 10 February 1962) was a Polish poet, writer, translator and soldier. Known for his revolutionary and patriotic writings.

Life
He was the son of Antoni, a bank clerk. As a young man, Broniewski joined in 1915 the legions of Józef Piłsudski. As a member of the 1st Legions Infantry Regiment, he participated in the Polish–Soviet War and in 1920 fought in the Battle of Białystok. He was decorated for bravery with the order of Virtuti Militari.

Broniewski developed leftist sympathies and by the late 1920s he was a revolutionary poet. In summer 1931, he was arrested during a literary meeting of writers connected with the Communist Party of Poland (KPP) along with Jan Hempel and Aleksander Wat. He was helped by Bolesław Wieniawa-Długoszowski.

When Poland was attacked in 1939 by Germany, he wrote an important poem encouraging Poles to put away political differences and fight the aggressors. After Poland was invaded by the Soviet Union, Broniewski found himself in Soviet-occupied Lwów. His poems were printed in a Soviet-published newspaper, but he was soon arrested by the NKVD on trumped-up charges of "hooliganism". He refused to co-operate with the NKVD and after four months was transported to the Lubianka prison in Moscow, where he stayed for thirteen months. Afterwards, he worked at the Polish embassy in Kuybyshev. He left the Soviet Union with the Polish army led by General Władysław Anders and through Iran came to Iraq and then Palestine. After World War II and the establishment of the Polish People's Republic, he compromised by writing in 1951 a poem Słowo o Stalinie ('A Word about Stalin'). Subsequently, Broniewski became an important political figure and was proclaimed a foremost national poet by the authorities. He still managed to preserve a certain degree of independence, and some of his poems from this period are a testimony to his talent. He had also been an accomplished translator of poetry and prose, translating, among others, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Sergei Yesenin, Vladimir Mayakovsky, and Bertolt Brecht.

During the last years of Broniewski's life, his health had been ruined by alcohol abuse. He died in Warsaw.

Poetry
Broniewski's poetry deals with problems of human life in the context of historical events, such as wars and revolutions (for example, the Paris Commune), and with questions of justice, fight for freedom, patriotism and personal suffering. This last aspect is evident in the cycle Anka, dedicated to the memory of tragically deceased poet's daughter Anna, who was gas-poisoned on 1 September 1954 (often compared to Jan Kochanowski's Laments). Another important Broniewski's poem is Ballady i romanse, alluding to the title of Adam Mickiewicz's collection. Ballady i romanse is about the Holocaust. Its hero is a thirteen years old Jewish girl Ryfka, who dies together with Jesus Christ shot by the Nazis. Broniewski was conservative regarding poetic form. He used classical forms of verse, traditional metres and stanzas. He often employed the dactylic metre.

Talk:Wings of a Butterfly Nebula

Disputed?
Okay, I'll bite, what is disputed? Flehmen 16:57, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * The history is weird. It was a decent just-above-stub article and then the person who started it turned it into a single line. The nebula is a former sun-like star so the article was inaccurate but I wouldn't call it a dispute. I re-expanded it. Marskell 16:04, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Kay, saved me the time. Flehmen 17:12, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Actually there has been some speculation and there might even be a few papers floating about with the idea that bipolar nebulae are associated with YOUNG stars, not stars at the end of their lives, as implied by Marskell. So, saying it's a former star might be misleading, if not accurate. I might poke around for the articles I was reading once upon a time, at some point. Just a point ot ponder. Mgmirkin 20:04, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Merge? (Planetary Nebula M2-9)
I've proposed a merger between this article and Planetary Nebula M2-9 since they both describe the same object. But they both seem to have slightly different information. Quite possibly complementary information which could be used to make a superior article to either on its own. This formation is referred to by many names: Butterfly Nebula (but that gets it confused with, I'm wanting to say NGC 6302? or some other "Butterfly Nebula" on Wikipedia), Twin Jet(s) Nebula, M2-9 and Planetary Nebula M2-9. Currently Twin Jet Nebula, and M2-9 already redirect to Planetary Nebula M2-9, it's my opinion that this one should be merged with that one since both contain good info, and likely this one should redirect there too, with a listing of all names it's known by... And redirects from those names should point there as well. However, since it's known by so many names, it should be decided which name is the most applicable or widely used and go with that. Let's discuss. Mgmirkin 20:04, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Cleaned up a couple things. 1) changed reference to Planetary nebula into reference to Protoplanetary nebula, as this is, I believe the correct term. Let's not get them confused. Also cleaned up the 'See Also' section to removed reference to other bipolar nebulae I'd added previously, instead, it now links to Bipolar nebula, Bipolar outflow, Planetary nebula, Protoplanetary nebula. The Bipolar nebula article lists all the same bipolar/protoplanetary nebulae, so this is more of a tidying up thing and a second thought adfter having initially added the other nebulae. Anyway, for more info on why things were cleaned up the way they were, see the talk page on Talk:Planetary Nebula M2-9. Again, I reiterate, that these articles should really be merged (probably quite painlessly) into one more informative article on the same structure, and then have all roads lead to that article (which ever of the two namespaces is preferable). That would be much preferable to having to update two articles independently with the same edits. Mgmirkin 16:34, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Since nobody really been talking, I'm going to assume this article isn't much being edited or monitored, so I'll Be Bold and do the merge myself. I'll merge Wings of a Butterfly Nebula into Planetary Nebula M2-9, and mold this namespace into a redirect to that article. Hopefully this is fairly non-controversial, as M2-9 and Twin Jet Nebula both already redirect to Planetary Nebula M2-9. Mgmirkin 02:06, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Uncountable set

Denumerable
The term "non-denumerable" is less common than uncountable, but it is used. I added it because I found a wiki link to the non-existant page "non-denumerable." (It now redirects here.) Here are a few pages on the Internet that use the term: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=non-denumerable+mathematics Crunchy Frog 16:58, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

lack of references
This may sound very obvious, but with regard to the 'lack of referencing' flag at the top of the page, I notice that the 'countable set' page has a good number of references - presumably if someone enthusiastic can look up those books, they might provide suitable citations for this page also. (Especially as, as I understand it, 'uncountable' strictly just means 'not countable'.) OK, this has probably already been thought of though!! Ab0u5061 18:59, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Uncountable in non-AC settings
The article claimed The foregoing assumes the axiom of choice. Without the axiom of choice, there might exist cardinalities incomparable to $$\aleph_0$$ (such as the cardinality of a Dedekind-finite infinite set). These are not considered to be uncountable. I have never seen this claim - I have always thought uncountable was simply the negation of countable. But I am used to working in settings where AC is assumed. Is the quote above correct? CMummert · talk 20:52, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

 * The point is that uncountable sets are TOO BIG to be countable. Without the axiom of choice there may be sets which are not countable for other reasons than because they are too big. They cannot be counted simply because you are unable to systematically choose the next element to count, rather than because you run out of natural numbers with which to count them. JRSpriggs 08:24, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I understand about non-well-orderable sets and the failure of AC. But every time I can remember seeing "uncountable" defined, it was defined as the simple negation of countable. This is likely because every time I have seen it defined it was defined in the context of ZFC.  If there is a convention somewhere that a cardinal must be comparable with aleph_0 to be uncountable, then we should certainly include it here, but I have never seen that convention in print.
 * Basically, I'm asking if a reference can be found for the "without AC" section. It's especially important to get articles like this right because they are probably used as "the" definition by people doing searches on Google. CMummert · talk 14:03, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * You have a point, I could not find a reference which defines it. However, is it more natural to say that a cardinal number $$\kappa\!$$ satisfies $$\kappa > \aleph_0$$ or $$\kappa \nleq \aleph_0$$? Perhaps we should ask how it is defined when ~AC. JRSpriggs 10:04, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, I would be glad to hear Rubin's opinion on the matter. I was going to leave a comment on his talk page but see you already left one.
 * What you are saying is a perfectly reasonable interpretation of uncountability, and it shows that there is not a unique way to generalize the definition when switching from AC to not-AC. So I am in no hurry to delete the non-AC paragraph, and I wouldn't say we disagree over any of the facts, only (possibly) over their presentation. CMummert · talk 14:07, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I would probably use it as $$\kappa > \aleph_0$$, or possibly even $$\kappa \ge \aleph_1$$, but I really don't recall seeing "uncountable" used in contexts where it wasn't applied to a well-orderable set, even without the axiom of choice. In other words, I really can't help you.  I think the term that I would use for $$\kappa \nleq \aleph_0$$ is non-countable, but that may just be me.  (I'm reminded of a model in which $$\beth_1$$ covers $$\aleph_0$$ but is not equal to $$\aleph_1$$).  — Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 16:45, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I'd say just cut the section out, unless someone can be found who actually has some experience with models that have these pathologies and knows the literature on them well. We a similar problem at transfinite number with someone who wanted to claim that "transfinite" specifically meant "Dedekind infinite", apparently an attested usage, but not standard in my experience. I don't really think there is any widely agreed convention on these usages. From my point of view that's not surprising; AC is true in the real world, and even most widely-studied models of ¬AC, such as L(R), all satisfy at least countable choice. --Trovatore 23:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I think we should remark early on that the notion of "uncountability" is, in practice, only used when we have (enough of) AC available. (Unlike the notion of "countability", which makes sense already in a (fragment of) ZF.)  I have read a few (very few) papers involving Dedekind finite sets, but have never seen "uncountable" mentioned there.
 * But note that under the definition
 * $$ \kappa$$ uncountable ⇔ $$\aleph_1\le \kappa$$,
 * you would need the axiom of choice to show that the reals are uncountable, which I find weird. (And I think Cantor would agree.)
 * --Aleph4 01:01, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I added a list of the four possible generalizations of "uncountable" to not-AC and suggested that it would be best to be specific. JRSpriggs 05:18, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Good advice, I think, but is this really the place to give it? I'm still not convinced the section should be there, given that none of us has really seen it used in this way or can give a reference showing it to be a standard usage. If we just delete the section, problem solved. --Trovatore 05:58, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Two quotes from the literature
In his 1963/64 paper On the axiom of determinateness (Fund.Math), Jan Mycielski considers implications between various statements associated with AD, among them a weak version of countable choice, and also the statement
 * Every non-denumerable set of reals contains a perfect subset.

On the other hand, Solovay shows (in his 1970 Annals paper) that the sentence
 * every uncountable set of reals contains a perfect set

is consistent with ZF+DC. (Emphasis added by me, in both statements).

So Mycielski does not assume a version of AC, and uses the word "non-denumerable"; Solovay constructs a model of DC, in which it is reasonable to talk about "uncountable" sets. (Solovay mentions Mycielski several times in the introduction.)

I think that these two quotes give weak support to Arthur Rubin's suggestion that the word "uncountable" should be replaced by "non-countable" if we do not assume AC (or a sufficiently strong fragment of AC). (I say "weak" because the number two is very small, and both papers are rather old.)

Aleph4 10:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Omega_1?
I think that the definition
 * $$\Omega_1 \!$$ is the least regular ordinal greater than $$\omega.\!$$

is not standard notation. Note that $$\Omega_1$$ could be undefined: There is a 1985 paper  of Moti Gitik (Regular cardinals in models of ZF, Transactions AMS) which proves that the sentence
 * "No $$\aleph_\alpha>\aleph_0$$ is regular"

is consistent. --Aleph4 17:45, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

To put it more clearly: I think that the fourth clause (about Omega_1) should be deleted. While it may not be obvious which of the first three clauses are the appropriate generalisation of "uncountable, it seems obvious to me that the fourth is not appropriate. It should be included only if it somebody finds a reference. --Aleph4 22:43, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I think the whole section should be deleted. It's mostly just confusing. If someone can show that there's a standard agreement as to whether infinite-but-Dedekind-finite sets are "uncountable", that would be different, but I don't believe there is any such standard agreement, and in its absence there's no point in giving a discussion of what the possible agreements might be. In fact it's worse than pointless; it's borderline OR. --Trovatore 23:20, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Change to first line?
In mathematics, an uncountable set is an infinite set which is too big to be countable.

To:

In mathematics, an uncountable set is an infinite set which contains too many elements to be countable.

I believe this is slightly more precise, and slightly more understandable. The word "big" may seem intuitive, but it may also lead to misunderstanding and complication. 128.163.129.168 (talk) 22:09, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Seems reasonable. I changed which to that. --Trovatore (talk) 23:57, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

This is only reasonable in choice settings. In non choice settings, one can envision a set being too "disorganized" to be countable, in the sense that the theory is too weak to "realize" an equivalence of cardinality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.107.107.159 (talk) 17:49, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

 * The Dedekind-finite infinite sets of cardinality $$\kappa \,$$ satisfy $$\kappa \nleq \aleph_0 \,$$ and $$\aleph_0 \nleq \kappa \,.$$ I think that this is what you mean by "disorganized" (i.e. lacking structure in its powerset). While such sets might be called "uncountable" because they are not countable sets, many people do not use the word "uncountable" that way. Rather "uncountable" is often understood to mean that it can be counted as far as counting can go but it still has more elements, that is, $$\kappa \nleq \aleph_0 \,$$ and $$\aleph_0 \leq \kappa \,,$$ also written as $$\aleph_0 < \kappa \,.$$ JRSpriggs (talk) 03:22, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

 * I don't think that we should focus too much on the non-choice case, and particularly not in the first sentence of the article. There is a section lower down for that. The first paragraph should develop the intuitions that will be more useful, in general. Those will make use of the axiom of choice. — Carl (CBM · talk) 12:25, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Query about possible category
Does it make sense to add this article to Category:Unknown content? Possibly, but I don't know enough about the subject matter. I thought about adding Pi and then Irrational number and that led me here. Any thoughts? --Northernhenge (talk) 20:01, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Definitely do not add this article, or either of the other two you mentioned. That makes no sense at all as far as I can tell. --Trovatore (talk) 20:15, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks Trovatore. I'll take your advice. --Northernhenge (talk) 18:47, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Uncountable and "bigness"
The comments here, and the article seem, to concur that uncountable means "too-big" to count. An uncountable set is defined as having "too many" elements to count. This seems incorrect as the notion of "bigness" (or "too many-ness") by definition applies as an absolute to the concept of infinity/infinite sets. In terms of "bigness"/"too many-ness", every infinite set is too big to count/has too many elements to count. My understanding of the concept of an uncoutable set is as a set that it is not possible to EVEN TO BEGIN to count. For instance, there are an infinite number of integers, but the set is countable: 1, 2, 3.... etc ad infinitum. There are also an infinite number of numbers between zero and 1 but these are uncountable. We can start with the number zero ..... but then that's it, we cannot get to the next number in order to begin our count. Would the next number be 0.1, or 0.01 or 0.001 or etc.? Surely this is the "definition" of uncountable? The article as is seems indecipherable, continuing this further by introducing the notion of a "degree of uncountability" without explaining this other than by a statement that it is the case. If the article is not actually incorrect then it is too technical and with an inadequate introduction for a non-technical publication. LookingGlass (talk) 08:10, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

 * You need to give up your preconceived notions which are getting in the way of understand this. Just accept that, in this context, "countable" means that there is an injection from the set into the natural numbers, i.e. there is a way of listing the elements such that you could count up to any one of them by going thru that same list in the same order. JRSpriggs (talk) 09:25, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Your argument about there being no "next" number after zero applies equally well to the rationals, yet the rationals are countable. It's true that a countable set can be placed in an order where each element has a "next" element, but this ordering need not have any relation to any "normal" ordering that may be defined on the set.  Mnudelman (talk) 21:08, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

If an uncountable set X is a subset of set Y, then Y is uncountable
Hi, being a modest mathematician, I was wondering if this statement could be detailed a little more, and specifically, if it could be explicitely said whether or not this requires the axiom of choice to be proven.

I could offer to use reduction to absurdity, saying that if a one-to-one correspondance f can be established between Y and ℕ, then, the restriction of f to X noted fundefined is a one-to-one correspondance between X and a subset of ℕ, thus X is countable, which is absurd. However, does the argument using fundefined require the axiom of choice in this case ?

Thank you very much,--ByteMe666 (talk) 21:04, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I seem like I'm rambling, but I've given it some more thought: defining fundefined requires, according to my reasoning, extracting X from Y by means of writings such as X={x∈Y|x∈X} (which seems trivial, but I only wish to show that such manipulation of writings does not require the axiom of choice), which then enables to identify {f(x)|x∈X} which is a subset of ℕ, and fundefined is obviously a bijection between X and {f(x)|x∈X} because f is a bijection.

I apologize again if I seem to dwell on trivial matters, but for neophytes to the axiom of choice such as myself, it is sometimes very easy to let the usage of the axiom of choice go unnoticed, therefor I tend to be excessively careful and make every demonstration very explicit.

If my attention to detail is deemed excessive, please disregard. Thank you.--ByteMe666 (talk) 21:38, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Technically, questions about the subject matter should appear at WP:RD/Math, not here. But the answer is short enough that I don't see a lot of harm.  Please direct any followup questions to WP:RD/Math.
 * The answer is, no, you don't need the axiom of choice. The contrapositive of the statement is that any subset of a countable set is countable.  That's easily proved without AC, because a countable set is either finite (in which case every subset is finite, thus countable), or else it has a bijection with the natural numbers.  The natural numbers are wellordered, so you can show that any subset is countable by collapsing the ordering.
 * However you do need excluded middle to show the equivalence with the contrapositive, and intuitionists do not necessarily accept the result. --Trovatore (talk) 22:13, 27 November 2017 (UTC) Actually I think I messed up that last bit a little. See subcountability for more information, and again, if you want to discuss it in more detail, please use the mathematics reference desk. --Trovatore (talk) 22:16, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The contrapositive argument is much clearer than what I wrote. Thank you. As for how to use the different segments of Wikipedia, your directions are duly noted. Thank you very much.--ByteMe666 (talk) 22:27, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, upon closer inspection, the collapsing of the ordering argument isn't so clear in my mind. I know it is useful to prove that a surjection can be turned into a bijection, but I don't see how this works in this case. I will look up the references you have provided, and take it from there. Thank you.--ByteMe666 (talk) 22:55, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Use of blackboard bold
could you explain why not using blackboard bold is correct in this article? Blackboard bold is nearly universally used to indicate common mathematical sets (in particular $$\mathbb R$$ to mean set of real numbers).

In one of your reverts you state that ‘blackboard bold is used sometimes, but so is just bold’. However, this is technically true but largely. There are instances where R is used to mean set of real numbers but those are the exception not the rule. For example, [Real number] article uses it nearly exclusively using bold only when talking about notation. And funnily enough, the citation that it uses lists $$\mathbb R$$ only as a symbol for set of real numbers. Similarly, Template:Classification of numbers and Template:Number systems use blackboard bold.

In another revert you’ve commented ‘don't change optional styles’ but my question is why? I’m not changing the formatting for no reason. The change makes the article fit the rest of Wikipedia and in fact the rest of Mathematics literature.

If you’re concerned about creating an ‘editing noise’, let’s keep in mind that your revert generate more noise than changes trying to use proper formatting. There were three people that I could find (including myself) who changed the article to use blackboard bold. If you didn’t revert change back in 2012 there would likely be no editing noise or need for this discussion.

In 2016 you’ve commented that: ‘blackboard bold is (largely) for blackboards. Certainly some prefer it in other contexts as well, but typically it has not been favored in math articles in Wikipedia’ however there are two issues with that statement:

First of all, perhaps in 2016 blackboard bold was not favoured in Wikipedia but that’s clearly not the state in 2023. Secondly, the name ‘blackboard bold’ doesn’t refer to where the style is to be used but rather where it originated from. It’s similar to how lower- and upper-case originated from typesetting but is now used outside of that context. Blackboard bold is used widely in Maths literature.

In light of $$\mathbb R$$ being clearly preferred symbol for set or real numbers on Wikipedia, what are your arguments for using R instead? — mina86 (talk) 21:00, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
 * You claim without evidence that BBB is favored in 2023.
 * Please see MOS:BBB, in particular this excerpt:
 * As with all such choices, each article should be consistent with itself, and editors should not change articles from one choice of typeface to another, except for consistency. Again, when there is dispute, follow MOS:STYLERET.
 * It is true that BBB R is used by a lot of sources to mean the reals, but there are also a lot of sources that use just plain bold. --Trovatore (talk) 21:06, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I think I have. As far as symbols for common sets of numbers, even if there’s no de jure preference there is a de facto preference.  For example, all of the fallowing use blackboard bold:
 * Natural number
 * Integer
 * Rational number
 * Real number
 * Algebraic number
 * Sedenion
 * List of types of numbers
 * Template:Classification_of_numbers
 * Template:Number_systems
 * I could find only two articles which consistently used upright bold: this article and Fraction where it’s used exactly once. I’m sure there are more but the main articles for someone reading about number sets use blackboard bold.
 * There were also two other people who wanted to change this article to use blackboard bold so I’m clearly not the only one thinking that using BBB is more consistent with the rest of Wikipedia. — mina86 (talk) 00:03, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Hinduism
Self-Nomination

Support: Hinduism is a vast, vast religion which contains many diverse and colorful practices, philosophies and scriptures. For this reason, the newly-overhauled page (having taken into consideration many comments made on its prior nomination) is a completely different article from before. I think it does a great job of condensing a massive faith, with many variant beliefs, into a single page with clear, readable prose. Also, you'll be surprised at how many inter-wiki links related to Hinduism have similar depth and thus make for good surfing. All in all ambitious, informative, fun and NPOV. Questions, comments, criticisms? --LordSuryaofShropshire 16:47, Apr 10, 2004 (UTC)
 * Breathtakingly detailed. In favor.  Wally 23:31, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Quite good. In favor. - Nat Krause 10:24, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Very well developing article. In favor - Moby 11:23, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Object. Our maximum length per article is about 30,000 characters, above that length an article should be split up. This article is presently over 70,000 characters long, which is far too large. I suggest moving out and summarizing very long sections. Furthermore, the copyright status of some of the images is a bit wishy-washy. Where it says "used with permission", did you ask for permission to use the images under the FDL? If so, please flag them with ; if not, we cannot use them. Image:Jagganath Mandir.gif claims "public domain pic."  - where is it from? As for the graphics which are contended to be fair use, I find that somewhat doubtful. The Hindu symbols could be drawn by Wikipedia contributors, we don't need fair use there, and it deters other people from creating a free image. Is Image:Sankara.jpg a public domain painting? It looks modern, but has no copyright information. Image:TA43 wallpaper.jpg seems to be very clearly of commercial value and pure entertainment, so it is doubtful whether we can and should claim fair use. Please read and follow the guidelines at Fair use.--Eloquence* 12:14, Apr 12, 2004 (UTC)
 * Your objections are quite valid. Along with others, the issue of length was discussed, but due to the nature of Hinduism itself, it was rather difficult. To address that, would it be acceptable to split the article into a sort of (1of3), (2of3),(3of3) situation? I will of course try to try individual sections, but to halve this massive blend of different streams is a little difficult, even for a summary article, as one intends to give as complete, while succinct, a picture as possible. That brings me to the pictures... I have removed Jagannath picture (the temple) as it is not public domain. My mistake. The Image:TA43 wallpaper.jpg (Krishna picture) is part of ISKCON art, which is freely distributable as long as use is not commerical and the picture is not altered. The two AUM symbols are both from Hinduism Today and they are in favor of distribution without commercial use. The Sadhu picture I have permission for and the picture of the Brahmin boy, the Rama statue and the 'Hindu Woman' are all from the Birodkar page freely distributable with non-commercial uses. I will remove the Shankara picture as it was uploaded by someone else and I thought it had been cleared. I believe this should cover image use policy. So, 1) length, can we split into 2 or 3 sections of the same article? and 2) have I taken care of your objections? --LordSuryaofShropshire 13:46, Apr 12, 2004 (UTC)
 * Commercial use is one of the freedoms that the GNU Free Documentation License and, by extension, Wikipedia grants on its content. That's why "no commercial use" images are highly problematic and may be removed at any time. Please tag them with so they can be easily found and removed if we decide to get rid of all these images (some Wikipedians, including Jimbo Wales, think they already shouldn't exist, while others have for the time being succeeded in defending their existence on Wikipedia). As for the splitting up, I strongly dislike "1", "2", "3" type splitting. Why not have, for example, an article Hindu belief systems? That seems to be by far the largest section in the current article. You could write a brief one or two paragraph intro and have a link "Main article: Hindu belief systems".--Eloquence* 14:05, Apr 12, 2004 (UTC)
 * Well, since for the moment non-commercial use pictures are allowed, I have stamped them and all the images on the Hinduism page, I believe, comply with needed standards of approval. As for the editing down... 30,000 is the highest recommended, but I hope there can be some leeway on this giant topic... I have reduced the page text to around 40,000 (w/o spaces) 52,000 (w/ spaces) from 70,000. I think with such a large number of topics that's pretty good. How now?
 * Please add the tag to the image pages (click the image and then "edit this page"). The article is still at 52K (and of course spaces need to be counted!). Sorry, but you will have to get it down at least to 40K. If I find some time tomorrow I'll try to help.--Eloquence* 15:18, Apr 12, 2004 (UTC)
 * Hinduism article (with spaces!) is at 40K 30K (THIRTY K!). The images have been labeled (within their pages and on the Hinduism page). And now? --LordSuryaofShropshire 16:44, Apr 12, 2004 (UTC)
 * Looks a lot better now. I withdraw my objections. I haven't read it in full yet so I cannot support, but a quick glance suggests it could use one more rough copyedit.--Eloquence* 00:41, Apr 14, 2004 (UTC)
 * Object. The article is still above the 30KB limit and there seem to be way too many small sections (esp in the philosophy section). There is very little point in giving each paragraph a title - this would also allow for more summarizing for sections with main articles (I count one so far - one more should take care of the size issue). The lead section also looks too long and should be reduced to three paragraphs - an overview section could then be created for the rest of the material. --mav 00:21, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * I have done a lot of editing based on your suggestions. The size of the page is now 32K 30K (THIRTY K!) (from 70K earlier today). I have also thoroughly cleaned up the topic page and done lots of summarizing. Please check it out and tell me if this does away with your objections. --LordSuryaofShropshire 02:46, Apr 13, 2004 (UTC)
 * Objection withdrawn. --mav
 * Object - the image captions are horrendiously placed. They completely break the manual of style. →Raul654 18:14, Apr 13, 2004 (UTC)
 * Please check the Hinduism article and see if my edits have rectified the caption problems. --LordSuryaofShropshire 18:47, Apr 13, 2004 (UTC)
 * Much better. One more (minor) comment - the top of the article says "Hinduism [is] the oldest of the major world religions... It has its origin in Vedic culture as far back as a conservative 2000 BCE." I believe 2004 is the 5764th year on the Jewish calendar, which would date it back (at least) to 3760 BCE. So I'd like some evidence further backing up that claim. Other than that, the article looks good to me. →Raul654 21:00, Apr 13, 2004 (UTC)
 * Generally, the consensus among scholars is that Hinduism is the oldest religion. Also, the Jewish calendar is based on the date of creation, not the incipience of its faith, which is marked by the coming of Abraham circa 1900-1600BCE.--LordSuryaofShropshire 21:17, Apr 13, 2004 (UTC)
 * Ok, that's sufficent for me then. The formatting was pretty crazy, so I went in and worked on that. It looks a lot better now. I support. →Raul654 00:33, Apr 14, 2004 (UTC)
 * Just want to publicly mention my thanks to Eloquence, mav and Raul654... I don't think I could have fathomed, 3 days ago, that the page would be slashed around 55%!!! of its original content, that so many holes in image policy would be filled up, and that its overall structure/prose would be so changed for the better. The credit goes to you. --LordSuryaofShropshire 01:12, Apr 14, 2004 (UTC)

New Party Nippon

The New Party Nippon (新党日本 Shintō Nippon) was a Japanese political party formed on August 21, 2005. The party was headed by the former Nagano governor Yasuo Tanaka, and includes Diet members Kōki Kobayashi (deputy leader), Takashi Aoyama, Makoto Taki, and Hiroyuki Arai, who left the Liberal Democratic Party in opposition to Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi’s postal privatization drive.

The new party was seen as aiming to appeal toward urban voters, while the People's New Party, formed around the same time by other LDP rebels, had a more rural support base.

In the 2005 Japan general election, only one member, Makoto Taki, was elected (to a proportional seat in Kinki), with Kobayashi and Aoyama, among others, failing to be elected in either single-seat or proportional districts.

On July 2007, Hiroyuki Arai and Minoru Taki left the party.

In the 2007 Japanese House of Councillors election, Yasuo Tanaka, the President, was elected.

In 2012 Japanese general election the party lost its final representative in the Diet.

Motions against Yoshihiko Noda
On August 3, 2012 the party (which had no member in the lower house) in concert with six other minor opposition parties (People's Life First, Kizuna Party, Social Democratic Party, Your Party, Japanese Communist Party and the New Renaissance Party) agreed to submit a no confidence motion against Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda in an effort to block the passage of the bill raising Japan's consumption tax from 5% to 10%. In the Japanese diet the support of 51 lawmakers is required to submit a co-confidence motion to the lower house. The motion was submitted to the lower house on August 7, along with a censure motion against Noda. The main opposition Liberal Democratic Party was also considering its own no-confidence motion and censure motions if Noda did not agree to call a general election. The no-confidence motion was voted down 246 to 86, with the DPJ voting against and the LDP and its partner New Komeito deciding to be absent from the vote after Noda agreed to hold elections "soon".

On August 29, 2012 the House of Councillors passed a censure motion against Noda based on the one previously submitted by the seven opposition parties. The LDP and New Komeito had also been preparing their own censure motion but in the end the LDP, which had supported Noda's consumption tax increase, supported the censure motion of the other seven parties, while New Komeito abstained. While the censure motion was non-binding, the opposition parties planned to boycott the remaining sitting days before the diet session finished on September 8, preventing further legislation from being passed.

Giovan Battista Cini

Giovan Battista Cini (1525 – c. 1586) was an Italian Renaissance playwright at the court of the Medici in Florence.

History
Cini was a member of The Florentine Academy of Art which was founded by Grand Duke Cosimo I at the height of the Medici power during the 16th century. Cini's contemporaries there were his fellow authors d'Ambra, Lasca (author of the renowned Story of Dr Manente), Cecchi and Gelli. They studied the intellectual philosophies from Plautus and Terence to Ariosto and Machiavelli.

Theater work
At the time Florence led Europe as a theatrical center. By the 15th century the city was renowned for its "sacre rappresentazioni": these were religious dramas incorporating stage machinery. However what was an important step to what was to become modern theater was the Florentine love of staging classical comedies, unlike the rest of intellectual Europe which merely read them. The first instance of a Florentine classical production was as early as 1476 when Terence's Andria was performed translated into Latin so that it could be clearly understood by a wider audience. The next step came in the late 16th century came when musical interludes were incorporated into the text and spoken dialogue—this was the birth of modern opera.

One of these early "operas" was Cini's principal work which drew on the fables of Cupid and Psyche. This work, which Cini dedicated "to the future of Grand Duchy of Florence"' was performed accompanied by music composed by Alessandro Striggio. Striggio (1535–1589) was the principal composer to the Florentine Medici court.

Another of his works, La Vedova ("The Widow"), received a famous theatrical set designed by the Medici's architect Baldassarre Lanci – complete with mechanical revolving scenery. Lanci actually changed the location of the play in order to include more scene changes than Cini had written.

Performances
These elaborate and complicated performances were generally staged to honor weddings and baptisms of the Medici family, or to greet the arrival of foreign princes and potentates in Florence.

During Cini's time, performances were generally held in the courtyard of a palazzo where often grandstands would be erected. The courtyard would be tented by cloth on which was painted a sky. The Palazzo Pitti (which the Medici had purchased from Luca Pitti in 1549) had an amphitheatre constructed in its Boboli Gardens for such performances. At one performance it was recorded that seventy candelabra bearing putti were suspended from the "sky" providing light, while the performers entered the theatrical arena on ornamental floats against a background showing Venice. Venice and the Sahara were a popular locations for Florentine plays, and in choosing these locations Cini was no exception.

Inga Lake

Inga Lake is a freshwater lake located in north-eastern British Columbia. It is located between Fort Nelson and Fort St. John on the Alaska Highway. It is at mile 91 of the Alaska Highway, and features a maintained free campsite. Outhouses, and large camping spots are featured as well as quad, and dirt bike trails. It is a popular fishing destination, which is stocked annually with Rainbow trout. A spawning channel project has been underway at Inga since 1997. The purpose of the channel is educational in nature and to prevent diploid (2N) rainbows from becoming spawnbound. Suckers are far and away the most abundant fish in this lake. It is not the easiest spot to find, as only a small green sign indicates its whereabouts.

Widget Workshop

Widget Workshop: A Mad Scientist's Laboratory is a hands-on science kit, for use on the computer and off. It was released in 1995 and is one of the more obscure Maxis products. It was designed by Lauren Elliott, co-author of the Where in the World is Carmen SanDiego game series.

The game has two main modes. Much like in The Incredible Machine, users can solve a variety of puzzles using a limited selection of parts or tinker with the freeform mode. Widget Workshop focuses more on the freeform mode than the other game.

Unlike the Rube Goldberg nature of The Incredible Machine, the parts in Widget Workshop are not restricted to the mechanical or physical. Items include display boxes, graphing windows, random number generators, and mathematical tools ranging from addition and subtraction to Boolean logic gates and trigonometric functions. The items can be connected in a manner similar to dataflow programming. While the arrangement of the items on screen does not matter, the connections do: a numerical constant box could be connected to a mathematical function; connected to a graph, which would display a horizontal line; input as a color value on an RGB monitor; or even used to trigger a sound effect.

Fair use rationale for Image:Psycho_Bitch_From_Hell.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Psycho_Bitch_From_Hell.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 16:06, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Gilles Yapi Yapo

Gilles Donald Yapi Yapo (born 30 January 1982) is an Ivorian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Club career
Born in Abidjan, Yapi Yapo started his career at ASEC Mimosas and then moved to Europe with Beveren. He joined Nantes on a loan contract in January 2004, and on 17 May, he signed a three-year contract, because his contract with Beveren was due to expire in the summer. At this stage of his career, he played as an attacking midfielder. He was on the fringe at Nantes in the 2005–06 season, prompting a loan move to Young Boys. He then joined Young Boys on a permanent basis, where he played as a defensive midfielder and playmaker.

On 15 February 2010 FC Basel announced that they had signed Yapi Yapo as from 1 July on a three-year contract. He joined Basel's first team during their 2010–11 season under head coach Thorsten Fink. After playing in eight test games Yapi Yapo played his domestic league debut for his new club in the home game in the St. Jakob-Park on 20 July 2010 as Basel won 3–2 against FC Zürich. He scored his first goal for his new club in the home game on 1 August 2010 as Basel won 3–0 against FC St. Gallen.

Basel started in the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round and advanced to the group stage, but ended the group in third position. Therefore they dropped to the 2010–11 Europa League knockout phase, but here they were eliminated by Spartak Moscow due to a last minute goal against them. Yapi Yapo played in 11 of the 12 European matches. With Basel, Yapi Yapo won the Swiss Championship at the end of the 2010–11 season topping the table just one point clear of rivals Zürich.

To the beginning of their 2011–12 season season Yapi Yapo was member of the Basel team that won the 2011 Uhrencup, beating both Hertha Berlin 3–0 and West Ham United 2–1 to lead the table on goal difference above Young Boys. During just the second league game of the 2011–12 Super League season, Yapi Yapo suffered a rupture of the cruciate ligament, and this kept him out of the game for six months. He returned to the team the away draw in the Stade de Suisse against Young Boys on 16 February 2012 as he was substituted in during the 65th minute. At the end of the 2011–12 season he won the Double with his new club. They won the League Championship title with 20 points advantage. The team won the Swiss Cup, winning the final 4–3 in a penalty shootout against Luzern.

Basel had started in the 2012–13 UEFA Champions League in the qualifying rounds. But were knocked out of the competition by CFR Cluj in the play-off round. They then continued in the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League group stage. Ending the group in second position, Basel continued in the knockout phase and advanced as far as the semi-finals, there being matched against the reigning UEFA Champions League holders Chelsea. Chelsea won both games advancing 5–2 on aggregate, eventually winning the competition. In the early stages of the season Yapi Yapo came to regular playing time, but following an injury in August, his appearance time diminished. At the end of the Swiss Super League season 2012–13 he won the Championship title with the team. In the 2012–13 Swiss Cup Basel reached the final, but were runners up behind Grasshopper Club, being defeated 4–3 on penalties, following a 1–1 draw after extra time.

Yapi Yapo appeared in just four games in the second half of the season. But because head coach Murat Yakin no longer considered Yapi Yapo within his plans, the contract between club and player was not prolonged and he departed as free agent. During his time with the club, Yapi Yapo played a total of 119 games for Basel scoring a total of nine goals. 58 of these games were in the Swiss Super League, seven in the Swiss Cup, 15 in the UEFA competitions (Champions League and Europa League) and 39 were friendly games. He scored three goals in the domestic league and the other nine were scored during the test games.

In August 2013 Yapi Yapo signed for Dubai CSC.

On 22 June 2014 it was announced that Yapi Yapo had signed with Zürich on a one-year contract.

On 9 November 2014, Aarau player and former Basel teammate Sandro Wieser committed a knee-high challenge on Yapi Yapo in a league match, leaving the latter's career in serious doubt. He suffered torn anterior and cruciate ligaments, a torn meniscus, a torn kneecap tendon, serious cartilage damage and deep bruising to his thigh. Wieser was shown a straight red card for the tackle, and was later suspended for six matches by the Swiss league. With Yapi Yapo highly unlikely to ever play again, Zürich president Ancillo Canepa launched legal proceedings against Wieser.

Yapi Yapo did eventually return to action as a first-half substitute, in a 3–3 draw against FC Thun at the Letzigrund on 13 September 2015, scoring the third Zürich goal in the process.

On 26 August 2017 FC Aarau announced that they had signed Yapi Yapo on a loan period for one season.

On 20 July 2018 it was announced that Yapi Yapo would return to FC Basel. Preparing for a course as trainer, he was to help with the Basel U-21 team in the Promotion League, the third tier of Swiss football. In the announcement it was also suggested that he could help with the coaching team.

International career
Yapi Yapo was part of the Ivory Coast team at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. He was also selected in the preliminary Ivory Coast squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but was eventually dropped along with Bakari Koné and Emerse Faé, who played with him in the 2006 World Cup. He retired from the Ivory Coast national team after this.

New Roc City

New Roc City, also known as New Rochelle Center, is an entertainment, retail and residential complex in the Downtown section of the city of New Rochelle in Westchester County, New York. It is located at 33 LeCount Place, between Main Street North and Main Street South. The center was built on the site of the former New Rochelle Mall, which closed in 1992.

History

Unable to attract a new anchor once Macy's had left, the New Rochelle Mall shut down in 1995, creating a chasm in the city's center. New Roc City which opened in the summer of 1999, was developed as the centerpiece of the efforts to revitalize the downtown business area of New Rochelle. The 1200000 sqft project cost $190 million and featured a 19-screen movie theater, Westchester County's first IMAX theater (preceding White Plains City Center's Cinema de Lux), a health club, an ice rink (now Monroe College Athletic Center), restaurants, shopping centers and an indoor amusement park.

New Roc began a major conversion into a retail-based complex beginning in May 2008. It was rumored that the new retail stores to occupy New Roc would be Target and Kohl's. Best Buy, for a while, was also rumored to be another planned store. The space is currently occupied by Planet Fitness. New Roc now houses Monroe College's Athletic Complex and student cafeteria.

Design
The core and shell architecture for New Roc City was designed by the White Plains, New York-based architecture firm Peg Park LLC. PEG Park was also the architect of record for this project. Design for the exterior facades and the interiors of arcade was done by Haverson Architecture & Design from Greenwich, Connecticut. At the request of the developer Louis Capelli, the facades were designed to resemble classic New York City buildings. Originally, what is now the Speedway was a second ice skating rink themed to look like Central Park. When viewed from this rink, the second and third floors were given faux detailing to mimic the riveted steel construction seen at Grand Central Station. The third floor arcades were themed to look like NYC rooftops. Murals depicting the surrounding NYC skyline surround the whole third floor. Faux brick and stone parapet walls along with dramatic lighting enhance the rooftop effect. Atop New Roc City, in the center of the arcade, is an amusement ride called the Space Shot. Manufactured by S&S - Sansei Technologies, it is a 185' tall 8'x 8' wide tower with 12 seats on a roller assembly attached to the outside of the tower. The ride is powered by hydraulic pistons and shoots riders to the top of the tower in less than 3 seconds, offering a stomach churning thrill, as well as brief views of the Long Island Sound and the surrounding areas.

The complex also contains a Regal Cinemas multiplex and IMAX theater, bowling alley, 25-table billiards hall, electric go-kart track, a glow in the dark miniature golf course, an arcade with over 300 games and rides, a Marriott Residence Inn, a fitness center, EastWest Karate Jujitsu, and an ice cream cafe. 'The Lofts at New Roc' apartment complex is also attached to the main complex structure.

In 2019, the city had approved proposals to replace the Stop & Shop Supermarket for an Audi car dealership expected to open sometime in 2021. On February 28, 2020, the Stop and Shop supermarket had closed for business. In 2020, the venue's Modell's store has closed.

Talk:June 1990 Lower Ohio Valley tornado outbreak

Could someone please go edit the original page to remove that "sticks had been swept away" by the tornado. It's all over the page and I am surprised no one at Wiki has noticed.

What about the tornadoes in the Great Lakes from this event?
I found a couple references mentioning tornadoes in Michigan and Wisconsin from this outbreak, yet they did not make the article. If the author is still around on wikipedia, why is that? I'll let this sit for a week before making a decision to include a reference to those tornadoes in this article. Thegreatdr 20:18, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

 * They belong here. They are clearly related to the same system. Dropping Lower Ohio Valley from the name would be warranted if that was not the epicenter of the outbreak. CrazyC83 04:02, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Actually, considering the trend on articles on tornado outbreaks, I wouldn't be surprise that the 21 tornadoes on the 1st are from the same system.-- JForget 03:33, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

"Sticks"
I don't know what this "stick" crap I keep hearing about in the damage descriptions is, but I am removing those references until there is better information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.58.26.140 (talk) 21:35, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Carolyn Moos

Carolyn Moos (born May 23, 1978) is an American former collegiate and professional basketball player.

Moos won a gold medal playing for the United States in the Junior Olympics traveling to Frankfurt, Slovakia, Brazil and Chetumal. She lived in France for a time where she played professional basketball after completing her B.A. at Stanford. In the WNBA she played for Miami Sol (2002). Moos has an M.A. from USC and is a nutritional consultant and personal trainer.

Early life and high school
Moos was born on May 23, 1978, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She is the daughter of Melinda and Charles Moos. She has an older brother, Dan Moos. During her youth, she was a dedicated show horse jumper from the age of nine until she turned thirteen, along with enjoying tennis, soccer, hockey, swimming and dance.

She began playing basketball in the sixth grade as even in her youth, she was quite tall, standing over six feet tall at 13 years old. She was influenced by her family and her older brother Dan and was later approached by her school's coach, Julie Grim, who later became her mentor, and who convinced her to play the game. She played for the North Tartan AAU team that won nationals and earned the Sporting News Top Student Athletes in the Country among other awards.

Moos played for The Blake School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she was named a WBCA All-American. She participated in the WBCA High School All-America Game where she scored eight points.

Moos was also one of the finalists for the Naismith National Player of the Year in 1997, some of which joined her on the USA Jr. Olympic team that won a gold in Brazil.

She totaled 2,040 points and 1,360 rebounds in four years, while shooting 62.0% from the field. She also scored 50.0% from three-point range. As a senior, Moos averaged 19 points, nine rebounds, four assists and four blocks per game. She graduated from Blake School in 1997.

USA Basketball
Moos was named to the USA Basketball Women's Junior National Team (now called the U18 team). The team participated in the Americas zone qualifying tournament, now known as the FIBA Americas U18 Championshio, held in Chetumal, Mexico in late August and early September 1996. The US team won its early games easily, but lost by four points to the team from Brazil, ending up with the silver medal for the event.

Moos was also in the USA Junior World Championship Team when it was invited to the 1997 FIBA Junior World Championship (now called U19) held in Natal, Brazil. After beating Japan in the preliminary round, the next game was against Australia, the defending champion. The US team pulled out to a 13-point lead in the second half, but gave up the lead and lost the game 80–74. The US rebounded with a close 92–88 victory over Cuba, helped by 23 points each from Maylana Martin and Lynn Pride. The US then beat previously unbeaten Russia. After winning the next two games, they faced Australia in the gold medal game. The USA team has a three-point lead late, but the Aussies hit a 3-pointer with three seconds left in regulation to force overtime. Although the Aussies scored first, the US came back, then pulled into the lead and held on to win 78–74 to earn the gold, and the first gold for a US team at a FIBA Junior World Championship. Moos averaged 2.0 points per game.

College
Moos attended Stanford University where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and Communications and played on its women's basketball team.

In her senior year, she averaged 8.5 ppg and 4.5 rpg in 111 career games with the Cardinal and finished as Stanford's 23rd all-time leading scorer (944 points) and the 20th all-time leading rebounder (497).

Jack Slipper

Jack Kenneth Slipper (20 April 1924, in London – 24 August 2005, in Pershore) was a Detective Chief Superintendent in the Metropolitan Police in London. He was known as "Slipper of the Yard" (referring to Scotland Yard). He was mainly known for his role in investigating the Great Train Robbery of 1963, and in tracking down Ronnie Biggs after he escaped from prison in 1965, although he had to leave Brazil without Biggs.

Early life
Slipper was born in Ealing, west London, and educated at Little Ealing School. He left school aged 14 and worked as an electrician's apprentice until 1941, when he enlisted in the Royal Air Force. He served as an electrician with a nightfighter squadron at West Malling, and was then posted to the Rhodesian Air Training Group in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe) in 1943. Having grown to 6'3", he became light heavyweight boxing champion of the Rhodesian combined services. He was demobilized in 1946 and returned to work in London as an electrician.

Early police career
Slipper joined the Metropolitan Police in 1951. He trained at Hendon Police College, and served briefly as a police constable in Brentford before moving to Chelsea. He undertook traffic duties, and guarded the residence of the US Ambassador in South Kensington.

He joined the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in 1956. After an unusually short probationary period of little more than 2 years (rather than the usual 3 or 4), he was posted to Acton as a Detective Constable. He joined the Flying Squad in 1962, and was quickly promoted to Detective Sergeant, becoming a Detective Inspector by 1968. He left the Flying Squad to be posted to Harlesden. In 1971, he became a Detective Chief Inspector in Q Division (formed in 1965 to cover the Wembley area, previously divided between S and T Divisions) and moved to Harrow, then Detective Chief Superintendent of the stolen-car squad at Chalk Farm. He was in charge of operations at the Flying Squad from 1973 to 1977 as its deputy head under Commander Don Neesham, and then head of Q Division detectives at Wembley.

He was involved in the investigation of the Shepherd's Bush murders in which three unarmed policemen were shot dead in Shepherd's Bush in August 1966, for which three men were later convicted.

Great Train Robbery
Slipper is mainly notable for his role in investigating the Great Train Robbery in August 1963. Then a Detective Sergeant with the Flying Squad, Slipper was one of six police officers chosen by its head, Tommy Butler, to form a special unit to catch the robbers. According to the police investigation, several of the robbers had left fingerprints or palm prints at the gang's temporary hideout at Leatherslade Farm in Buckinghamshire. Biggs' fingerprints were found on a bottle of tomato sauce. Slipper was present when Biggs was arrested at his home in Redhill on 4 September 1963.

After being sentenced to 30 years imprisonment in 1964, Biggs escaped from Wandsworth Prison in 1965. Biggs travelled via Paris to Spain and then Melbourne, Australia, where, despite plastic surgery to alter his appearance, he was identified by his dental records after visiting a dentist.

In January 1968 after six years with the Flying Squad, and most of the wanted Train Robbers caught, Slipper decided to return to Division and gained promotion to Detective Chief Inspector in September of that year. After a few other postings, in March 1973 he returned to the Flying Squad as operational Chief Superintendent.

1974 extradition attempt
Despite rumours, Biggs remained untraced until 1974, when he gave an interview to the Daily Express. The newspaper passed his location on to the police, and Biggs was captured on 1 February. Slipper travelled to Brazil, where he attempted to arrest Biggs in a hotel in Rio de Janeiro, with the words "Long time no see, Ronnie." But the Brazilian government turned down the request for extradition, on the grounds that Biggs was to become the father of his pregnant Brazilian girlfriend's child (Michael Biggs, to be born 16 August 1974), and Slipper was forced to return home empty-handed. Famously, Slipper was photographed on the plane home, sleeping next to an empty seat, and was christened "Slip-up of the Yard" by the press.

1981 Scots Guardsmen kidnapping
Biggs was abducted by former Scots Guardsmen in 1981 and taken to Barbados. An extradition request was made, but it was denied due to the lack of a treaty between the United Kingdom and Barbados; he was returned to Brazil.

Biggs' return to U.K.
Biggs finally returned voluntarily to the UK in May 2001. He was accompanied by Bruce Reynolds on a private plane. Slipper believed that Biggs should not be released, and regularly appeared in the media to comment on any news item connected to the robbery.

Later police career
He was involved in several major investigations such as the Bank of America robbery in April 1975, in which £8 million was stolen from a branch in Davies Street, Mayfair. He was also involved with Britain's first "Supergrass" trial in 1973, in which bank robber Bertie Smalls testified against his former associates in exchange for his own freedom, and then in the trials supported by the evidence of "King Squealer" Maurice O'Mahoney.

Slipper helped to set up the Robbery Squad, which later merged into the Flying Squad.

After the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Robert Mark, initiated an "interchange" policy, which required CID officers to return to uniformed work, Slipper ended his career as a uniformed chief superintendent as head of X Division in Ruislip.

Later life
Slipper retired in 1979 after 28 years service, and became a security consultant. He worked in security for IBM UK in the 1980s and 1990s from offices in Greenford, West London. He also enjoyed playing golf at Sudbury.

After his retirement, Slipper returned to Rio and met Ronnie Biggs once again, later remarking that "[Biggs'] villa was bog-standard and in the wrong end of town. His swimming pool was so black with algae even a stickleback couldn't live in it. He was flogging T-shirts to tourists to make a living."

He published an autobiography, Slipper of the Yard, in 1981. He sued the BBC for libel after a television film, The Great Paper Chase, portrayed Slipper (played by Jeremy Kemp) and his colleagues as incompetent. The legal action was financed by Sir James Goldsmith, Slipper won damages of £50,000, his costs (estimated at £400,000), and an apology.

Slipper was awarded the Lord Willis Award in 2004 for his CID work.

He was diagnosed with cancer in 1999 and died 6 years later, aged 81. He was survived by his wife, Anne, and two daughters.

Talk:Morgan's Raid

Moved here from article
Please note that PRIOR to the RE-DEDICATION of the Morgan's Raid monument in July of 2013, the ORIGINAL dedication took place in 1963 with the grandson of Ethelbert Sharp (owner of the farmland where the monument is placed) present, William McKinley Sharp. In the 1950's Mr. Wm. Sharp published a series of articles in The Cleveland Plain Dealer about the battle and events which occurred on our family property. Much of his information regarding the events of that day came first hand from verbal and written accounts from his grandfather and his father, John Moody Sharp, who only 8 years old when the invasion occurred. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.100.132.255 (talk)

Antarctic continental shelf

The Antarctic continental shelf is a submerged piece of the Antarctic continent that underlies a portion of the Southern Ocean — the ocean which surrounds Antarctica. The shelf is generally narrow and unusually deep, its edge lying at depths averaging 500 meters (the global mean is around 100 meters), with troughs extending as far as 2000 meters deep. It is home to a thriving ecosystem of penguins and cold-water fish and crustaceans. This profound submersion is a result of ice sheet loading, thermal subsidence, and long-term erosion due to climatic variations over the past 34 million years.

Several countries have issued proclamations claiming ownership over parts of the shelf, including Chile (since 1947), Australia (since 1953), France, and Argentina.

Effect on Antarctic Ice Sheet
It has been shown that there is an amplification in the impact made on the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) given changes in the Antarctic continental shelf. For example, increasing AIS volume directly increases Antarctic continental shelf erosion. This is known as glacial erosion. Increased erosion of the continental shelf makes the AIS more sensitive to ocean forcing — the sum of forces that amplify the ocean's ability to affect climate and surface conditions. These dynamics are very well understood for the Miocene to Pleistocene eras. However, understanding continental margin changes sufficiently to further understand AIS dynamics and how the ice sheet reacted subsequently to atmospheric and oceanic condition changes in the modern day is important in producing accurate models for current and future climate change.
