Constantly computed impact point

A Constantly Computed Impact Point (CCIP) is a calculation provided by a weapon's sighting system. It is a predicted point of impact found from the launch platform's movement, the target's movement, gravity, projectile launch velocity, projectile drag, and other factors that can be entered. It is usually displayed on the Head Up Display (HUD).

The HUD crosshairs will move around dependent on where the computer predicts the selected rocket, bullet or bomb will hit. Normally a radar lock is necessary, but when strafing or bombing a ground target (A/G mode; A/A mode will simply put the hairs in the centre of the HUD), the crosshairs will move along the ground.

This system is normally used in aircraft, other large vehicles, or large static weapons, but it is in principle possible for such a system to be miniaturized for a man-portable firearm or Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV).

The Continually Computed Release Point (CCRP) inverts the principle of CCIP. A desired impact point is indicated. The HUD puts a vertical line along the bearing to the impact point, and the pilot points the aircraft onto that line and flies a steady course, whether level bombing, dive bombing, or toss bombing (releasing bombs on a lofted climbing trajectory.) The pilot or Weapon systems officer authorizes weapon release but for maximum precision the exact timing is determined and executed by the computer.

David Riesman

David Riesman (September 22, 1909 – May 10, 2002) was an American sociologist, educator, and best-selling commentator on American society.

Career
Born to a wealthy German Jewish family, Riesman attended Harvard College, where he graduated in 1931 with a degree in biochemistry. He attended Harvard Law School, where he was a member of the Harvard Law Review. Riesman clerked for Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis between 1935 and 1936. He also taught at what is now the University at Buffalo Law School and at the University of Chicago.

He worked for Sperry Gyroscope company during the war. After a fellowship at Yale to write The Lonely Crowd, he returned to Chicago. In 1958, he became a university professor at Harvard. He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1955) and the American Philosophical Society (1974). Intellectually he was influenced most by Erich Fromm, as well as Carl Friedrich, Hannah Arendt, Leo Löwenthal, Robert K. Merton, Paul Lazarsfeld, Paul Goodman, Martha Wolfenstein, and Nathan Leites. He widely referenced the works of Thorstein Veblen, Max Weber, and Sigmund Freud.

The Lonely Crowd
Daniel Horowitz says The Lonely Crowd: A Study of the Changing American Character, in 1950 "quickly became the nation’s most influential and widely read mid-century work of social and cultural criticism. It catapulted its author to the cover of Time magazine in 1954, making Riesman the first social scientist so honored.... Riesman offered a nuanced and complicated portrait of the nation’s middle and upper-middle classes.... Riesman pictured a nation in the midst of a shift from a society based on production to one fundamentally shaped by the market orientation of a consumer culture. He explored how people used consumer goods to communicate with one another."

The book is largely a study of modern conformity, which postulates the existence of the "inner-directed" and "other-directed" personalities. Riesman argued that the character of post-World War II American society impels individuals to "other-directedness," the preeminent example being modern suburbia, where individuals seek their neighbors' approval and fear being outcast from their community. That lifestyle has a coercive effect, which compels people to abandon "inner-direction" of their lives, and it induces them to take on the goals, ideology, likes, and dislikes of their community.

This creates a tightly grouped crowd of people that is yet incapable of fulfilling each other's desires. The book is considered a landmark study of American character. Riesman was a major public intellectual as well as a sociologist and represented an early example of what sociologists now call "public sociology".

American higher education
In addition to his many other publications, Riesman was also a noted commentator on American higher education, publishing, with his seminal work, The Academic Revolution, which was co-written with Christopher Jencks. In it, Riesman sums up his position by stating, "If this book has any single message it is that the academic profession increasingly determines the character of undergraduate education in America."

Riesman highlights the effects of the "logic of the research university," which focuses upon strict disciplinary research. That both sets the goals of the research university and produces its future professors. Riesman noted that the logic isolated any patterns of resistance that might challenge the university's primary purpose as disciplinary research, dashing their chances of success.

Talk:United Kingdom labour law

Updates to end of 2021
The following need updating:
 * Immigration rights and free movement
 * General shortening

 * Legislation
 * ERA 1996 s 44
 * Trade Union (Wales) Act 2017 various rules from Trade Union Act 2016 were disapplied in Wales, including the provisions requiring 40 per cent of members of important public services to vote ‘yes’ in the ballot, when they are run by a devolved Welsh authority.’
 * Employment Information Directive 2019 (EU) 2019/1152
 * Collective Bargaining and Wage Directive COM/2020/682 final
 * Platform Work Directive 2021/0414 (COD)

 * Scope, contract, minimum standards
 * Uber BV v Aslam [2021] UKSC 5, worker and employee coverage
 * Royal Mencap Society v Tomlinson-Blake [2021] UKSC 8, on sleeping and minimum wage calculation
 * King v The Sash Window Workshop Ltd C-214/16 was referred to the CJEU for a decision as to whether Mr King could claim payment in lieu for several years of annual leave. In this case, Mr King was a self-employed salesman, whom the Employment Tribunal later determined was actually a worker. As a worker, he would have been entitled to 5.6 weeks’ annual leave a year. Although he had taken some annual leave during his time as a ‘self-employed’ salesperson, it was unpaid, and he claimed that the unpaid nature of his leave was a deterrent to him taking leave. He was therefore claiming 13 years’ unpaid leave. The CJEU held that, where an employer denies a worker the right to paid annual leave, the worker can continue to accrue annual leave up until the point when the employer makes facility for that person to take paid annual leave and, if the employment is terminated, the worker is entitled to pay in lieu of notice.

 * Union rights
 * Kostal UK Ltd v Dunkley [2021] UKSC 47 an employer wrote to employees, re-stating a pay offer the union had rejected and if it was not accepted by 18 December, no Christmas bonus would be paid (as was in the offer). In January 2016, it wrote to the employees saying non-acceptance could lead to dismissal. Employees claimed this was an unlawful inducement under TULRCA 1992 s 145B with a "prohibited result" that the workers' terms of employment "will not (or will no longer) be determined by collective agreement". Tribunal found it was unlawful. Court of Appeal, Singh LJ reversed, finding in employers' favour. Supreme Court held that an offer by employers to workers violated TULRCA 1992 s 145B if workers terms would not be set by collective agreement, or there was a real possibility. This should be assumed where there was an agreed collective bargaining procedure that was not complied with. Lady Arden and Lord Burrows, [126]-[129] would have gone further: an employer breached s 145B where (i) an offer, if accepted, would constitute contracting out of collective bargaining on that occasion so that the offer satisfied the "prohibited result" requirement; and (ii) the employer's main purpose was to achieve that result rather than having a genuine business purpose. On that interpretation, it did not necessarily follow that the employer escaped liability just because the collective bargaining process had been exhausted.
 * Lidl Ltd v CAC [2017] EWCA Civ 328 decided that proposed bargaining unit was appropriate
 * Hartley v King Edward VI College [2017] UKSC 39 any wage deductions for strike action must be proportionate and in accordance with contract or collective agreement.

 * Discrimination
 * Stefanko v Doherty and Maritime Hotel Ltd [2019] IRLR 322 (EAT) failure to apply burden of proof and race discrimination
 * Royal Mail Group Ltd v Efobi [2021] UKSC 33, Royal Mail employee made 30 job applications unsuccessfully, and claimed race discrimination, victimisation and harassment after not getting any. ET upheld claims of victimisation and harassment, and said the others did not disclose a prima facie case. He claimed this failed EA 2010 s 136, and the RM should have called decision-makers to give evidence, and ET should draw adverse inferences from this. UKSC said there is a burden on the claimant under EA 2010 s 136. Adverse inferences could be drawn from the fact the employer failed to call evidence from decision makers, and instead supplied others familiar with recruitment processes.
 * Asda Stores v Brierley [2021] UKSC 10, whether female retail workers should be paid the same as male distribution centre workers because they do work of equal value & there's not a material factor justifying the difference in terms relating to pay.
 * Dobson v North Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust [2021] IRLR 729 (EAT) Dobson claimed that NHS Trust's demand for "flexible" work at weekends amounted to indirect sex discrimination, because it disadvantaged her in her care for 3 children, two of whom were disabled. The Tribunal decided there was no particular disadvantage because other women could do it, and so could the only man in the team. Choudhury J, reversing the Tribunal, found that the Tribunal was wrong in comparing only people in the team, as the proper comparison would be all people who were required to work flexibly. It was uncontroversial that there was a disparity in child care burdens for women. Tribunals could and should take judicial notice of this matter, even if it is not pleaded.
 * Ali v Capita Customer Management Ltd [2019] EWCA Civ 900, [73] Court of Appeal rejects that there is sex discrimination in men being paid less for shared paternity leave than women who receive higher statutory maternity pay.
 * Bessong v Penning Care NHS Foundation Trust [2019] IRLR 4 (EAT), third party harassment does not make an employer liable without discriminatory conduct by them in failure to take steps. EA 2010 ss 40A and 124A from Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 (reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment, or 25% compensation uplift) reverses this.

 * Job security
 * Steer v Stormsure Ltd [2021] EWCA Civ 887 the CA has found that the lack of interim relief under the Equality Act is not discriminatory under the ECHR. There is no legislative reading in or declaration of incompatibility needed.
 * Hammersmith and Fulham LBC v Keable [2021] EAT, Katherine Tucker J held that the Tribunal had not erred in ordering that reinstatement was a practicable remedy, after an unfair dismissal. He was politically active and described himself as an anti-Zionist. He was filmed saying he thought that Zionists collaborated with the Nazis, agreeing they were not welcome in Germany, it went on social media and the Labour council leader said this anti-semitism brought the Council into disrepute. He was suspended, investigated and dismissed. Tribunal held dismissal was unfair because the employee had no chance to respond to the interpretation of his comments. He could be reinstated because the employer was of large size and there was no evidence it had lost trust and confidence in the employee.

 * Useful, not pathbreaking
 * National Union of Professional Foster Carers v Certification Officer [2021] EWCA Civ 548, the Certification Officer found that the foster carer union was not entitled to be listed as a trade union under TULRCA 1992 s 2 because it did consist "wholly or mainly of workers" under s 1, thinking that a "foster care agreement" with local authorities was not contractual. This violated ECHR article 11. Court of Appeal reversed the decision, and foster carers were entitled to unionised.
 * Carillion Services Ltd v Benson [2021] EAT, Carillion Services Ltd, part of the 18,000 person multinational group, went into liquidation and dismissed Benson and others without consulting under TULRCA 1992 ss 188-189. The employer argued it was only clear on 14 January 2018 that liquidation would happen, after short term financing proved impossible. Tribunal rejected that this was a "special circumstance" and that the business was on a downward path since July 2017. Choudhury J in the EAT dismissed the employer's appeal, holding that employees should receive a protective award.

 * Interesting, but not that important
 * Robinson v HRH Al Qasimi [2021] EWCA Civ 862 Singh LJ upheld EAT decision that there was no illegality from the claimant, Robinson not paying tax from 2007 to 2014 when this was the sham tax arrangement that Sheikh Khalid Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, a deputy dictator in the United Arab Emirates. Any illegality did not affect Robinson's claim for unfair dismissal. Also Cumming v British Airways Plc [2021] IRLR 270, per Shanks J.
 * Adedeji v University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust [2021] EWCA Civ 23, Underhill LJ approving the refusal of a claim that was 3 days late under the Equality Act 2010
 * Burn v Alder Hey Childrens NHS Foundation Trust [2021] EWCA Civ 1791, [37] and [45]-[48] an implied duty to act fairly in disciplinary processes, on top of duties of mutual trust & confidence. Fails to acknowledge that this was already established in West London Mental Health NHS Trust (Respondent) v Chhabra [2013] UKSC 30.
 * DPP Law v Greenberg [2021] EWCA Civ 672, a solicitor and brown envelopes, the CA held the EAT wrongly allowed an appeal from an appropriate and standard Burchell unfair dismissal decision.
 * Stuart Delivery Ltd v Augustine [2021] EWCA Civ 1514, a courier for a delivery company claimed unlawful wage deductions and working time rights. The Tribunal held he was a worker, not an independent contractor during the times he committed to fixed slots whereby he had to be available in a certain geographic zone for a stipulated period of time. He was obliged to perform that work personally, had no right of substitution, and therefore had worker status pursuant to the guidance in Pimlico Plumbers Ltd v Smith [2017] EWCA Civ 51. EAT and Lewis LJ in the Court of Appeal upheld.
 * Sullivan v Bury Street Capital Ltd [2021] EWCA Civ 1694, an employee had a delusional disorder of being stalked by a Russian gang, and had two spells. This was not a long-term disability, or the employer did not have enough knowledge. Court of Appeal upheld Tribunal.
 * Page v Lord Chancellor [2021] EWCA Civ 254, Underhill LJ, the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice had not victimised a lay magistrate by removing him from office after he gave a BBC television interview in which he expressed his objection, as a Christian, to same-sex couples adopting children. He was not removed for the protected act of alleging that he had been discriminated against, but for publicly declaring that in cases involving adoption by same-sex couples he would proceed not on the basis of the law and the evidence but on the basis of his own beliefs.
 * Amdocs Systems Group Ltd v Langton [2021] EAT, an employee was not entitled, in a claim on insured benefits, to all costs as the employer ran a defence that had no reasonable prospect of success.
 * Opalkova v Aquire Care Ltd [2021] IRLR 921 (EAT), unlawful wage deductions, remitting claim to Tribunal on whether worker should be paid minimum wage for compulsory training
 * Thompson v Informatica Software Ltd [2021] EAT, dismissal of a senior employee for breaching his employer's anti-corruption policy by authorising an expensive trip for a customer amounted to gross misconduct and was fair, even though the employee had not intended to make a corrupt payment or breach the policy. Wilful disregard of the policy could cause as much damage to the employer as a deliberate breach and dismissal was therefore within the range of reasonable responses.

2022 updates

 * Unfair dismissal
 * London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham v Keable, council employee made anti-Zionist statements in a rally, posted on social media, dismissed for misconduct. EAT upheld claim of unfair dismissal because claimant's statements did not bring the Council into disrepute. Reinstated.
 * Robinson v HRH Al-Qasimi, CA upheld unfair dismissal claim, and rejected employer's argument that non-payment of tax prevented Ms Robinson bringing an unfair dismissal claim, because there was no causal link, applying the purpose test in Patel v Mirza.
 * Kelly v PGA European Tour, CA held that to reengage a worker, a lack of trust and confidence from an employer had to be based on a genuine and rational belief. Here, Kelly had done covert recordings of the employer. Under s 116(5) though the ET should ignore if the job has been filled, this does not extend to ignoring whether other suitable jobs were filled.
 * Gwynedd Council v Barratt two sport teachers were not rehired to a new institution after a college was closed and everyone dismissed and asked to reapply. They were given no right to appeal. CA held the dismissal was unfair, especially since the employer was a local authority, so lack of appeal was startling.

 * Equality
 * Avsar v Wilson James Ltd, Eady J said discriminatory treatment will also be a breach of mutual trust and confidence, and an injunction is available.
 * All Answers Ltd v W, CA held that when considering long lasting disability, 'likely to last for at least 12 months' it should be assessed at the time of discrimination, and not take into account whether it did in fact last at Tribunal date.
 * Rooney v Leicester CC, EAT overruled ET's rejection of sex discrim claim after claimant had menopause. She told her manager she had hot flushes, and reply was manager also felt hot. Warning for sickness went to all male panel.
 * R (Cornerstone) v Office for Standards in Education, CA rejected C's appeal in a JR. C said carers must abstain from sexual sins including homosexual behaviour', and OfECSS said this policy had to be removed.
 * Allay (UK) Ltd v Gehlen [2021] ICR 645, EAT held that under the Equality Act 2010 s 109(4) the reasonable steps defence, that an employer took all reasonable steps to prevent discrimination, was not made out. An employer gave training, but this was years ago and stale, so no defence to racist remarks repeatedly received by the claimant.
 * K v Tesco, CJEU held that TFEU art 157 can be relied on in equal value claims in national courts. Claimants can compare themselves to comparators at different establishments of the same employer if a single source.

 * Working time
 * Smith v Pimlico Plummers Ltd [2022] EWCA Civ 70, held the claimant was not too late to claim paid annual leave.

2023 updates

 * Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023
 * Protection from Redundancy (Pregnancy and Family Leave) Act 2023
 * National Insurance Contributions (Reduction in Rates) Act 2023
 * Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023 — Preceding unsigned comment added by BarrySpinno (talk • contribs) 10:34, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act, reversing Bessong
 * Public Order Act 2023
 * Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023
 * Economic Activities of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill

 * Work status
 * IWGB v CAC [2023] UKSC 43, [2021] EWCA Civ 952, right to collective bargaining failed to be recognised, holding that cyclists were not even workers. Lord Lloyd-Jones and Lady Rose.
 * Sejpal v Rodericks Dental Ltd, a dentish on an 'associate contract' claimed discrimination, and ET held she was not in employment or a worker under the EA 2010. EAT held the ET should (1) find the agreement's true nature in light of purpose (2) the right of substitution had to be unfettered to be relevant (3) mutuality of obligation only mattered for whether there was a contract at all, in between assignments, in the case of casual work, and it was not an additional requirement on top of personal service.
 * Catt v English Table Tennis Association Ltd, a non-executive director working 15-20 days a year for £1500 honorarium found to not be a worker given lack of subordination. EAT held lack of subordination relevant to whether the ETTA was a client or customer, but not to whether there was personal performance of work, as was at issue. It was arguable on the ET's findings that there was a work contract.

 * Collective bargaining
 * Mercer v Alternative Future Group Ltd [2022] EWCA Civ 379, [2021] IRLR 620, Mercer was suspended after organising strikes as a trade union representative. The employer claimed this was not protected under TULRCA 1992 s 146, as protection for sanctions short of dismissal did not extend to strikes. Tribunal held that such an interpretation would go against the "legislative scheme". The Secretary of State intervened. EAT, Choudhury J held TULRCA 1992 s 146 could be interpreted compatibly with ECHR article 11, to protect the right to industrial action. Although on a proper construction protection fell for strike action fell under s 152, not s 146, it could be possible to effectively add a new sub paragraph (c) that time in working hours on strike was protected. To permit disciplinary action against workers simply for exercising the right to strike would fundamentally contradict the ECtHR authorities. Lord Burnett CJ, Bean LJ and Singh LJ restored the ET, and held that it was neither possible to interpret section 146 compatibly, nor was it appropriate to issue a declaration of incompatibility.
 * Kostal UK Ltd v Dunkley [2021] UKSC 47, leading to Jiwanji (ET), and INEOS (EAT)

 * Whistleblowing
 * Kong v Gulf Bank International (UK) Ltd [2022] ICR 1513, K questioned colleague's competence and professional integrity. ET found the manner of disclosure was reasonable, and there was not an element of invention. CA held that counter-claims, that manner of raising the disclosure were abusive, could be separated from the disclosure itself.

 * Working time
 * Harpur Trust v Brazel [2022] UKSC 21, Ms Brazel, visiting music teacher, had a year long contract but was paid only during term time, and 5.6 weeks annual leave under WTR 1998 regs 13 and 13A, deemed to be taken in three tranches during school holidays. Calculation of holiday pay could either be by (1) average earnings over 12 weeks before leave taken, ignoring any weeks without pay, as under ERA 1996 s 224, as she claimed, or (2) weeks actually worked in the 46.4 week year, by hours at each end of term, and 12.07% of that, as the employer claimed based on Directive wording. Lady Rose and Lady Arden held that the part-year worker's annual leave does not need to be pro rata to a full-time worker.
 * Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland v Agnew [2023] UKSC 33, claim for holiday pay on correct calculation, and how many years back

 * Discrimination
 * Forstater v CGD Europe [2021] UK IRLR 706 Choudhury J held that a belief in immutability of sex is protected under the Equality Act 2010 section 10, overturning ET.
 * Followed by Mackereth v Department for Work and Pensions [2022] EAT 99 Christian doctor referring trans people was required to call them by preferred name and pronouns under the workplace equality policy. He claimed he had a lack of a belief in "transgenderism". EAT found there was not discrimination or harassment. People without Dr Mackereth's beliefs would have been treated in the same way. Belief was different to manifestation.
 * Sullivan v Bury Street Capital Ltd, EAT upheld finding that sales exec with paranoid delusions had a disability that adversely affected work, but it was not substantial and long term under EA 2010 s 6 and Sch 1, para 2
 * Stott v Ralli Ltd, paralegal claimant was dismissed for poor performance, and then she raised a grievance of anxiety and depression, as a disability. First time employer had been told about the disability. Claimant lost in the EAT.
 * Allen v Primark Stores Ltd [2022] EAT 57, EAT set aside an ET decision rejecting a claim for indirect discrimination where a woman was required to work a late Thursday shift and two comparators were men who also had child care. The woman had been required to guarantee availability, whereas the men had not.
 * Hilaire v Luton BC, EAT reasonable adjustments
 * Parr v MSR Partners, CA on s 123 time limits
 * British Coal v Keeble, EAT time limits and just and equitble to extend
 * Concentrix GVC Intelligent Contact Ltd v Obi, EAT same
 * Warburton, victimisation

 * Unfair dismissal
 * Hope v British Medical Association [2022] IRLR 206 Choudhury J in EAT, no need to consider if misconduct is gross for dismissal. Claimant had brought numerous grievances that were baseless, and fired. Dismissal held to be fair. CA appeal pending.
 * Pubbi v Your-Move.co.uk, EAT held it was fair to dismiss a financial consultant for an estate agency who failed to disclose bankruptcy even though there was no term to do so.
 * Rodgers v Leeds Laser Cutting [2022] EWCA Civ 1659 CA, laser operator refused to come back to work until Covid-19 lockdown eased, because his 7 month old child had sickle disease, he was dismissed, and he claimed it was automatically unfair under s 100(d). ET held that there was no unlawful detriment because concerns about the workplace were general, he only wanted to stay home until the lockdown was over, and R could have averted the danger by abiding by govt guidance. CA held the danger had to be specific to the workplace, otherwise the question of leaving the workplace would not arise.
 * Scottish Federation of Housing Associations v Jones [2022] EAT 114, claimed dismissal because of political opinions under s 108(4) when asked to run as Scottish Labour candidate. Contract clause precluded political activity, and she accepted her opinions were nothing to do with her dismissal. Lord Summers, EAT, held dismissal fair.

2024

 * Kocur v Angard Staffing Solutions Ltd [2022] EWCA Civ 189, appeal to UKSC, permanent staff given chance to apply for vacancies before agency worker staff

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Flying Spaghetti Monster

Well, that looks like a pretty good consensus. Heh. — ceejayoz ★ 17:18, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Sockpuppet attack
Where in heaven's name did all these sockpuppets come from? They're fully half of the votes on the page. Is it all the same group of people in a single netblock? --Ardonik.talk* 17:35, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, what is a sock puppet attack? --jenlight 20:34, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * See Sockpuppets.-Loren 20:56, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The primary complaint here seems to be that many voters are ignorant about Wikipedia policies (e.g. the argument that this is a "free speech issue," as opposed to whether or not this entry is encyclopedic), not that many voters are sock puppets (i.e. pseudonyms of interested contributors). Not that this is anythiing more than a semantic quibble (though it is, perhaps, the difference between deliberate malice and simple ignorance).
 * Well put. --Ardonik.talk* 09:10, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * It doesn't really matter, as there is a pretty clear consensus to keep even without those votes. android  79  17:45, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

"Valid" and "Invalid" votes
I really wish people would stop trying to clean up vote pages; the Wikipedia guide to VfDs is fairly clear on this point. And I quote: "Please do not refactor the discussion into lists or tables of votes, however much you may think that this helps the process." It's now impossible to revert the page without destroying votes, so I'm going to just combine the two sections, and people should vote accordingly. And note that there is no such thing as anyone but an admin deciding validity of votes -- just because a vote comes from a user not signed in (e.g., an IP address) doesn't make it invalid! Jason 21:50, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Amen, Jason. Thanks for fixing that.  Moncrief 22:31, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Whether an anonymous vote is valid or not depends strongly on the context in which the vote was made. Evidently a large number of votes on this page are here because people outside the Wikipedia are encouraging others to cast votes on the VfD page and then leave forever.  Those votes really are invalid, and I think the intent of the refactoring was to make it easier to point that out to the admin who processes this page.
 * This is the same situation that happened when the BS article circumciser got deleted; a bunch of (okay, so it was a few) anti-circumcision "intactivists" came to the Wikipedia solely to vote keep on the page, and as you can see, their efforts were ignored. Some of them registered accounts that are still being used to push their anti-circumcision POV today, but that's still better than showing up only once just to "do your part."  --Ardonik.talk* 16:33, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Alas, it's nobody's job to decide such things except for the admin who ultimately decides to take on the task. That's why the Guide to VfDs says explicitly that, and why people should respect that.  And note that I do also disagree with a clear-cut definition of an invalid vote -- again, it doesn't matter as much how long someone's been a member or if they ever come back, but rather, it's important what the reasoning is for their vote.  If a never-before, never-again voter expresses a defensible reason for their vote, why is it any less valid? Jason 16:48, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, it's not those kinds of votes I object to, but rather people who come simply because their friends urged them to "do their part", much like the carpetbaggers of bygone years. It's rare (though I suppose not unprecedented) that such participants have a good idea of what does and does not belong in this collaborative work.  Usually, their arguments just boil down to "keep because I personally think this is notable."  --Ardonik.talk* 17:49, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * If even one-tenth of the run-in voters who show up for something like this expressed defensible reasons for their votes, I'd be a happy man. Sadly, most of them have no idea how Wikipedia operates beyond the basic mechanics, and so they present arguments for keeping the article that they think amounts to a slam-dunk "keep" and that people who have read WP:NOT recognize as irrelevant or a reason not to keep.  "It's utterly important to keep this article!  The world can only be saved if we get the word out about this!"  Wikipedia is not a soapbox.  "Wikipedia can be on the leading edge by being the first to publish this absolute scientific breakthrough!"  No original research, please.  "What do you mean you don't want a definition of this word?  Any good dictionary would have it!!!"  You are thinking of our sister project, Wiktionary.
 * Someone who has good and defensible reasons for their vote will influence other voters by sharing those good and defensible reasons. But votes like that are in a minority; most are basically the voter's opinion, and it's perfectly reasonable to keep the level of experience that informs that opinion in mind when weighing it.  When someone whose first and only edit to the entire wiki is this vote says "I can't see any reason for deletion", is that saying more about the merits of the article or about his capability to see? -- Antaeus Feldspar 21:47, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Can we close this already? It's an obvious keep, regardless of sockpuppetry. - — Omegatron 05:25, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

What is the difference between deities and fictional deities? Are there "non-fictional deities"? -- Murtasa 15:05, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Heh. I'd imagine "non-fictional" deities are those genuinely believed in by at least one follower. — ceejayoz ★  20:52, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * If you were to ask that from, say, Torquemada, George W. Bush, or a similar religious authority, you'd be in a lot of trouble. — J I P | Talk 04:38, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I know. I was trying to insult religious fundamentalists, not religious people in general. And BTW, it's spelled "thou". — J I P | Talk 10:39, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah, usually I know the spelling ... that is what happened when you edit before breakfast, though ;-) AlexR 12:19, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Retaliatory VfD?
Who else thinks this is Revenge Of the Morals and Values Council(WfD)?--152.163.101.8 23:31, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I have no idea why it would be considered as their revenge. Unless you are specifically accusing the person who put it up for VfD of wrongdoing, and have some pretty damn compelling evidence to justify your not assuming good faith, it seems pointless and unwise to engage in such speculation. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:37, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * This strikes me as bad-faith wild speculation, because it apparently assumes that WfD is motivated by Christian/other monotheistic fundamentalism, of which I see no sign. This is like the (anti-WfD) troll who put the Jesus picture on the decency template and the decency template on Talk:Wicca. N (t/c) 23:40, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

List of senators of the Philippines

The Senate of the Philippines is the upper house of Congress. The Senate is composed of 24 senators, each elected to a six-year term, renewable once, under plurality-at-large voting: on each election, the voters vote for up to twelve candidates, with the twelve candidates the highest number of votes being elected in.

Prior to 1916, the Philippine Assembly, from 1935 to 1941 the National Assembly and from 1978 to 1986 the Batasang Pambansa (National Legislature) was the sole house of the legislature. In periods where the legislature was bicameral, the upper house has always been called as the "Senate". From 1972 to 1978 and from 1986 to 1987, the president possessed legislative powers.

List
Senators' terms are always for six years. Exceptions and details are:

 * For those elected in under the Jones Law, terms start on election day, and end six years later.
 * On the first legislature, the candidate that place 1st shall serve for six years, and those who placed 2nd shall serve three years.
 * A new constitution was ratified after the 10th Legislature, abolishing the Senate. Senators' terms ended once the 1935 constitution was put into effect on September 16, 1935
 * For those elected in under the 1935 constitution as amended, terms start on December 30 after their election and end December 30 six years later.
 * For those elected in 1941, the first Congress convened on July 4, 1945, or almost four years from when the winning candidates' terms started on December 30, 1941. As no senatorial elections were held from 1941 up to that time, it was decided by lot who shall serve until 1946, and who shall serve until 1947.
 * President Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law on September 23, 1971, while Senate was in recess. He prevented Congress from convening again, and a new constitution approved in 1973 abolished the Senate.
 * For those elected in under the 1987 constitution, terms start on June 30 after their election and end June 30 six years later:
 * For those elected in on the first Congress after the ratification of the constitution, the senators served from June 30, 1987, to June 30, 1992.
 * For those elected in on the second Congress after the ratification of the constitution, the senators that finished 1st to 12th in the 1992 election served from June 30, 1992, to June 30, 1998. Those who finished 13th to 24th served from June 30, 1992, to June 30, 1995.

Salvation Islands

The Salvation Islands (French: Îles du Salut, so called because the missionaries went there to escape plague on the mainland), sometimes mistakenly called the Safety Islands, are a group of small islands of volcanic origin about 11 km off the coast of French Guiana, 14 km north of Kourou, in the Atlantic Ocean. Although closer to Kourou, the islands are part of Cayenne commune (municipality), specifically Cayenne 1er Canton Nord-Ouest.

Islands
There are three islands, from north to south:

Devil's Island, the most famous due to the political imprisonment there of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, is better known to French speakers as Île du Diable. The total area is 0.62 km2. Devil's Island and Île Royale are separated by Passe des Grenadines, Île Royale and Saint-Joseph Island by Passe de Désirade.

Climate
The climate of Salvation Islands focuses on the characteristics of Royale Island. Royale Island (Île-Royale) has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen climate classification Aw). The average annual temperature in Royale Island is 27.6 C. The average annual rainfall is 2496.7 mm with May as the wettest month. The temperatures are highest on average in October, at around 28.7 C, and lowest in January, at around 26.9 C. The highest temperature ever recorded in Royale Island was 34.8 C on 10 November 2008; the coldest temperature ever recorded was 18.4 C on 10 July 1979.

History
Between 1852 and 1953, the islands were part of a notorious penal colony for the worst criminals of France. The penal colony stretched along the border with Suriname. Île Royale was the reception centre for the general population of the penal colony; they were housed in moderate freedom due to the difficulty of escape from the island. Saint-Joseph Island was the Reclusion, where inmates were sent to be punished by solitary confinement in silence and darkness for escapes or offences committed in the penal colony. Devil's Island was for political prisoners. In the 19th century, the most famous such prisoner was Captain Alfred Dreyfus, held there from 1895 to 1899 after his conviction in mainland France for treason.

This penal colony was controversial given its reputation for harshness and brutality. Prisoner upon prisoner violence was common, tropical diseases killed many, and a small core of broken survivors returned to France to tell how horrible it was and scare other potential criminals. This system was gradually phased out and ended completely in 1953. Nowadays the islands are a popular tourist destination. The islands were featured in the autobiography Papillon, by Henri Charrière, who was imprisoned there for 9 years. Joseph Conrad's short story An Anarchist (1906) is largely set in Salvation Islands.

As of 1979, the Salvation Islands are protected areas managed by Conservatoire du littoral.

A few things to keep in mind, though: everything is supposed to be neutral and cited from sources. We're also not allowed to just copy from other sites unless the text is clearly public domain or released for such use. (This avoids legal trouble.) So I did replace the content you added with what we call a "stub", a very short (but expandable!) article. I realize the stub may look biased because such a large proportion covers the accreditation issue, but that's actually just boilerplate text we put in every article about unaccredited schools. If you want to add more, please do. Just keep it inside the content guidelines. A.J.A. 20:24, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Carnbee, Fife

Carnbee is a village and rural parish in the inland part of the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland.

Location
It lies to the north of Anstruther and Pittenweem. There is a very small village and the church (dating from 1793) stands amid agricultural land. The hamlet of Arncroach lies within this parish. It has a nearby cheese factory.

The name Carnbee derives from Scottish Gaelic. The second element, -bee, is obscure but probably derives from the Gaelic beith meaning 'birch' giving: "the cairn of (the) birch tree".

The parish includes Kellie Castle, formerly the seat of the Earls of Kellie and home to the Lorimer family, including Robert Lorimer, who designed the pulpit in the parish church and the Carnbee War Memorial.

Notable residents

 * Archibald Constable, the eminent publisher, was born and raised in Carnbee.

ImageMovers

ImageMovers, L.L.C. (IM) (formerly known as South Side Amusement Company), is an American production company which produces CGI animation, motion-capture, live-action films and television shows. The company is known for producing such films as Cast Away (2000), What Lies Beneath (2000), The Polar Express (2004), Monster House (2006), and Beowulf (2007). From 2007 to 2011, The Walt Disney Company and ImageMovers founded a joint venture animation facility known as ImageMovers Digital which produced two motion-captured CGI-animated films: A Christmas Carol (2009) and Mars Needs Moms (2011) for Walt Disney Pictures, neither of which were financially successful.

South Side Amusement Company (1984–1997)
On March 1, 1984, Robert Zemeckis incorporated and founded the company as South Side Amusement Company. The company was in-name only from the beginning.

In the early 1990s, Zemeckis signed a production deal with Universal Pictures, to release films under the South Side Amusement Company banner. There, it is one of the producers of Death Becomes Her, Trespass, The Public Eye, The Frighteners and Contact.

Early years as ImageMovers (1997–2007)
In 1997, it was announced that South Side Amusement Company was rebranded as ImageMovers, and hired Creative Artists Agency employee Jack Rapke and producer Steve Starkey (who was a producer on Zemeckis' films he's directing since his stint as associate producer on 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit) came on board to join the company. It was also announced that ImageMovers signed a non-exclusive feature film deal with DreamWorks Pictures.

In 2001, the studio tried to sign a deal with Warner Bros., but they ultimately failed. After the Warner deal collapsed, the studio is reupping a first-look deal with DreamWorks to produce more films from that time.

ImageMovers' first eight films under the name were What Lies Beneath (with Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer), Cast Away (with Tom Hanks), Matchstick Men (with Nicolas Cage), The Polar Express (also with Tom Hanks), The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio (with Julianne Moore), Last Holiday (with Queen Latifah), Monster House (with Mitchel Musso, Sam Lerner, Spencer Locke, and Steve Buscemi), and Beowulf (with Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, and Angelina Jolie).

Disney/ImageMovers Digital (2007–2011)
In 2007, ImageMovers and The Walt Disney Company set up a joint venture animation facility known as ImageMovers Digital, based in Marin County-based film company where Zemeckis would produce and direct 3D animated films using CGI performance-capture technology.

On November 6, 2009, ImageMovers Digital released their first CGI film A Christmas Carol, a CGI performance capture film based on the Charles Dickens book of the same name and starring Jim Carrey, Gary Oldman, Colin Firth and Cary Elwes. On March 12, 2010, Disney and ImageMovers announced that ImageMovers Digital would close operations by January 2011 after movie production on Mars Needs Moms was completed. Resulting in a lay-off of approximately 450 employees, Walt Disney Studios president Alan Bergman said, "...given today's economic realities, we need to find alternative ways to bring creative content to audiences and IMD no longer fits into our business model." The company had previously been reported to have Calling All Robots, a remake of Yellow Submarine, a Roger Rabbit sequel and The Nutcracker in development. Disney dropped all of these projects following the box-office failure of Mars Needs Moms.

Universal Pictures (2011–present)
In August 2011, it was announced that ImageMovers has entered a two-year first-look producing deal with Universal Pictures.

Television series (Compari Entertainment)
ImageMovers' first foray into television production was The Borgias, which aired on Showtime from 2011 to 2013. On August 25, 2016, Compari Entertainment, the company's television division, was founded, with NBC's Manifest, which premiered on September 24, 2018, as their first television series.
 * The Borgias (2011–13, Showtime) (produced as ImageMovers)
 * Manifest (2018–23, NBC Season 1–3, Netflix Season 4)
 * Medal of Honor (2018, Netflix)
 * Project Blue Book (2019–20, History)
 * What/If (2019, Netflix)

Yellow Submarine
This motion capture remake of the 1968 Beatles film was developed by Robert Zemeckis. Disney canceled the project due to the box office failure of the Zemeckis-produced motion capture film Mars Needs Moms and aesthetic concerns about the technology. After its cancellation at Disney, Zemeckis then tried to pitch the film to other studios, before eventually losing interest in the project.

Calling All Robots
On March 26, 2008, Michael Dougherty was set to direct the animated sci-fi adventure film Calling All Robots with Zemeckis producing the film through ImageMovers Digital for Walt Disney Pictures.

Roger Rabbit sequel
In December 2007, Marshall stated that he was still "open" to the idea, and in April 2009, Zemeckis revealed he was still interested. According to a 2009 MTV News story, Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman were writing a new script for the project, and the animated characters would be in traditional two-dimensional, while the rest would be in motion capture. However, in 2010, Zemeckis said that the sequel would remain hand-drawn animated and live-action sequences will be filmed, just like in the original film, but the lighting effects on the cartoon characters and some of the props that the toons handle will be done digitally. Also in 2010, Hahn, who was the film's original associate producer, confirmed the sequel's development in an interview with Empire. He stated, "Yeah, I couldn't possibly comment. I deny completely, but yeah... if you're a fan, pretty soon you're going to be very, very, very happy." In 2010, Bob Hoskins stated he was interested in the project, reprising his role as Eddie Valiant. However, he retired from acting in 2012 after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease a year earlier, and died from pneumonia in 2014. Marshall confirmed that the film would be a prequel, similar to earlier drafts, and that the writing was almost complete. During an interview at the premiere of Flight, Zemeckis stated that the sequel was still possible, despite Hoskins' absence, and the script for the sequel was sent to Disney for approval from studio executives.

The Nutcracker
On November 26, 2009, Zemeckis had signed on to produce and direct the motion capture animated film adaptation of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s The Nutcracker through ImageMovers Digital for Walt Disney Pictures. On July 21, 2016, Universal Pictures revived the adaptation, which may or may not use motion capture, with Zemeckis only set to produce the film and Evan Spiliotopoulos was hired to write the script. There has been no information since.

How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack
On April 14, 2011, Zemeckis had signed on to produce and potentially direct the live-action/animated hybrid film adaptation of Chuck Sambuchino's book How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack along with The Gotham Group and Sony Pictures Animation. In November that year, Chad Damiani and JP Lavin were hired to write the script.

Tooned Out
On October 29, 2019, at the HBO Max launch event, it was announced that a live-action/animated hybrid TV series featuring Looney Tunes, Hanna-Barbera, and Cartoon Network characters to be produced by Warner Bros. Animation, the series was in development after it was announced as Tooned Out, to be released on the then upcoming WarnerMedia streaming service. Zemeckis teamed up with Jared Stern to write the series. There have been no new updates since until July 2024.

Vallance Jupp

Vallance William Crisp Jupp (27 March 1891 – 9 July 1960) was an amateur cricketer who played for Sussex and Northamptonshire. Jupp also played eight Test matches for England, and was named as one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1928.

Biography
Born 27 March 1891 in Burgess Hill, Sussex, England, Jupp started his career in 1909 with Sussex, before moving to Northamptonshire in 1921 to take up the secretaryship of the club. This provided Jupp with an income and allowed him to retain his status as an "amateur" cricket player (he was paid to be club secretary, not to play cricket). After he qualified to play for Northamptonshire by residence, he assisted that county, and by 1927 was, in Wisden's opinion, the best all-round amateur in first-class cricket at the time.

Jupp played regularly for Sussex after his first year with them, making such steady improvement that in 1914, with a highest innings of 217 not out, against Worcestershire at Worcester, he finished third in the batting figures, and had an average of over 36. In that season he scored over 1,500 runs and, with fifty-one wickets, headed the bowling. By this time it was obvious Sussex had discovered one of the most promising all-round players in the country. On the outbreak of the First World War he joined the Royal Engineers in December 1914, and served in France, Salonika and Palestine where he transferred as a cadet to the Royal Air Force (despite this absence, Jupp features helping out at a fête in Sussex in 1915 in William Boyd's novel Waiting for Sunrise). Demobilised in July 1919, he played for Sussex as an amateur in the remaining matches of that season, and very quickly showed that over four years absence from cricket had not impaired his powers.

In 1921 he scored nearly 2,000 runs, heading the county batting with an average of over 47, and took 93 wickets for rather less than 23 runs apiece, At the end of the summer of 1920 he received an invitation to be a member of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) team in Australia, but was unable to accept. Two years afterwards, however, he went to South Africa under the captaincy of Frank Mann, but did not reproduce his English form. In 1921 he played for England against Australia at Trent Bridge and Headingley. He went on to play four Tests against South Africa in 1922/3 and two Tests against the West Indies in 1928.

As a batsman Jupp struck the happy medium between enterprise and caution. He watched the ball so well that when occasion demanded he could play a rigidly defensive game, while on a fast wicket there were few cricketers of his day better worth watching. He possessed a wide variety of strokes, and could drive or cut with equal power and facility. His footwork, too, was so good that on a treacherous pitch he was a particularly valuable batsman. Before the First World War, and for a time afterwards he bowled medium pace rather on the quick side, but later took a shorter run, and became a slow to slow-medium bowler. Few bowlers of the 1920s spun the ball as much as he did and, with a wicket to help him, he could make it turn to a pronounced degree. One of the secrets of his success as a bowler was his cleverness in adapting himself to the changing conditions of a pitch. He was also rated as a brilliant fieldsman at cover point.

In 1927 Jupp became captain of Northamptonshire, a post he held until 1931. He continued as a player for the county until 1939. Jupp achieved the double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in a season ten times, and along with Freddie Brown is one of the only two cricketers to have achieved that feat for two different teams. Ironically, his best season as a bowler was the one after the one for which he was named Wisden Cricketer of the Year – in 1928 he took 166 wickets at 20.15.

He continued playing first-class cricket for Northamptonshire until 1938, but did not play at all in 1934 or 1935. This is because of the fact – unmentioned by Wisden at the time – that he had been convicted of manslaughter after his car had been in collision with a motorcycle, killing the latter's pillion passenger. Jupp was sentenced to nine months in prison, and was released in June 1935 after serving half his sentence, but did not play cricket again until the following year.

Jupp collapsed and died in the garden at his home in Spratton on 9 July 1960. He was 69.

Anthony Howard (journalist)

Anthony Michell Howard, CBE (12 February 1934 – 19 December 2010) was a British journalist, broadcaster and writer. He was the editor of the New Statesman and The Listener and the deputy editor of The Observer. He selected the passages used in The Crossman Diaries, a book of entries taken from Richard Crossman's The Diaries of a Cabinet Minister.

Early life
Howard was born in London, the son of Canon (William) Guy Howard (1902–1981), a Church of England clergyman (at the time of his son's birth, priest in charge at Christ Church, Victoria Road, Kensington), and Janet Rymer (1904–1983; née Hogg). He studied at Purton Stoke School at Kintbury in Berkshire and Highgate Junior School, followed by Westminster School and Christ Church at the University of Oxford, where he read jurisprudence. In 1954 he was chairman of the Oxford University Labour Club and, the following year, President of the Oxford Union.

Howard had planned a career as a barrister, having been called to the Bar (Inner Temple) in 1956. Meanwhile, he was fulfilling his National service obligations in the army, during which he saw active service in the Royal Fusiliers during the Suez War. He wrote (initially unsigned) articles for the New Statesman about his reluctant involvement in the conflict, an action for which he was almost court-martialled.

First posts in journalism
Despite this early experience as a freelance contributor, he "stumbled" into his career as a journalist in 1958, beginning on Reynolds News as a political correspondent. Howard moved to the Manchester Guardian in 1959. The following year he was awarded a Harkness Fellowship to study in the United States, though he remained on the Guardian’s staff.

Howard was political correspondent of the New Statesman from 1961 until 1964. An admirer of Labour leader Hugh Gaitskell during this period, he was a strong advocate of the democratic process:I strongly believe that people should have the right to elect their own rulers and for a long time I was deeply affronted by what the Conservative Party did and never more affronted than when Alec Douglas-Home became leader of the Conservative Party. That seemed to me to be an Etonian fix organised by Harold Macmillan.

In January 1965 Howard joined The Sunday Times as its Whitehall correspondent, reporting on the activities of senior civil servants. He saw his Whitehall brief as being in advance of the journalistic practices of that time. Cabinet Ministers were instructed by Prime Minister Harold Wilson's private secretary not to co-operate with Howard. Civil servants received similar instructions. Phillip Knightley reported a conversation with Howard in 2003 in which Howard had said Wilson "understood I was only trying to do my job but he had a job to do, too, and his was more important than mine. He made it very plain that all conventional sources of information would remain shut until I was willing to return to the cosy but essentially sham game of being a political correspondent." Wilson is thought by journalist John Simpson to have had a preference for secrecy and to have been fearful that such a practice would give his enemies and rivals a potential outlet.

Howard, however, was soon invited to become The Observer’s chief Washington correspondent, serving in the role from 1966 to 1969, later contributing a political column (1971–72). During his period in America he made regular contributions to The World at One on Radio 4. "It got to where I was almost the World at One Washington correspondent", he once remarked. He was, though, absent from his post when President Johnson announced he would not seek re-election in the Presidential election of 1968, which did not help relations with David Astor, Observer editor at the time.

Editorial roles
As editor of the New Statesman (1972–78), succeeding Richard Crossman, whose deputy he had been (1970–72), he appointed Robin Cook as the magazine's parliamentary adviser in 1974 (Cook also contributed articles), James Fenton, Christopher Hitchens, and Martin Amis as literary editor in 1977. Future New Statesman editor Peter Wilby, for whom Howard was a mentor, was a staff member during this period.

Under Howard's editorship the magazine published a rare non-British contributor: Gabriel García Márquez in March 1974, on the overthrow of Salvador Allende's elected government in Chile the previous September. Perhaps out of a sense of balance, he featured a series of critiques of the British Left, by the magazine's former editor Paul Johnson, a drinking companion and friend of Howard's, whose political rightward drift was well advanced by then. He also employed Auberon Waugh as a columnist. Howard was unable to halt the magazine's fall in circulation, however. He then edited The Listener for two years (1979–81).

Howard was deputy editor of The Observer (1981–88), where one of his journalist protégés was the journalist and (later) novelist Robert Harris, whom he appointed as the newspaper's political correspondent. His professional relationship with the editor, Donald Trelford, ultimately broke down over allegations that Trelford had allowed the newspaper's proprietor Tiny Rowland to interfere in editorial content. After leaving The Observer, following an ill-fated editorial coup against Trelford, he was a reporter on Newsnight and Panorama (1989–92), having previously presented Channel Four's Face the Press (1982–85). According to Charter88 founder Anthony Barnett he opposed that organisation's petition, and helped run the official committee dedicated to commemorating the 300th anniversary of the Glorious Revolution in 1988.

Later career
His last editorial positions before turning freelance were at The Times as Obituaries editor (1993–99), and chief political book reviewer (1990–2004), though he contributed opinion columns to the newspaper until September 2005, when his regular column was discontinued. Howard assisted his long-standing friend Michael Heseltine on his memoirs, Life in the Jungle: My Autobiography (2000), and later published an official biography, Basil Hume: The Monk Cardinal (2005).

Personal life
Howard married Carol Anne Gaynor, a journalist, in 1965. He was the lover of Corinna Adam (former wife of journalist Neal Ascherson) for several decades, but did not leave his wife. Corinna Adam, also known by her married name, died in March 2012. At the time of his death, Howard lived between London and Ludlow.

Howard was appointed CBE in 1997. He died in London on 19 December 2010, aged 76, from complications of surgery for an aneurysm. Since 2013 the annual Anthony Howard Award has offered one young journalist two six-month paid placements on the politics desks of the New Statesman and The Times.

Yutaka Fukufuji

Yutaka Fukufuji (福藤 豊) is a Japanese ice hockey player for the Nikko Ice Bucks of the Asia League Ice Hockey. Fukufuji was the first Japanese player to appear in a National Hockey League (NHL) game, and played 4 games with the Los Angeles Kings during the 2006–07 season. The first Japanese draft pick, Hiroyuki Miura, was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1992 NHL Draft, but never played in an NHL game. Fukufuji is the first Japanese citizen to be drafted as a goaltender in the NHL and second Japanese national to be drafted. Internationally Fukufuji has played for the Japanese national team at several World Championships.

Career
Fukufuji was born in Kushiro, Hokkaidō, Japan. He played on the Kokudo hockey team of Asia League Ice Hockey in 2001. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the 2004 entry draft in the 8th round, 238th overall. He made his North American debut on February 7, 2003, with the ECHL Cincinnati Cyclones. He was voted the ECHL rookie of the month in January 2003. He played for the Bakersfield Condors of the ECHL in 2004–05 leading the team in wins, GAA, and shutouts. Fukufuji signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Los Angeles Kings in August 2005. After starting the 2005–06 season with the Reading Royals, the Kings ECHL franchise, Yutaka was the number 2 goalie on the AHL Manchester Monarchs for a time.

On December 15, 2006, Fukufuji was called up on to the Los Angeles Kings on emergency basis. He became the first Japanese player to dress for an NHL game, but he did not play.

When goaltender Mathieu Garon was placed on injured reserve with a broken finger, Fukufuji was again recalled and flew in from Cleveland, Ohio to dress as backup to goalie Barry Brust. On January 13, 2007, Fukufuji made his first NHL appearance, the first by a Japanese player, when Kings head coach Marc Crawford decided to put him in to start the third period of a game against the St. Louis Blues. Fukufuji entered the game with the Kings trailing 5–4. He allowed one goal in the period, and the Kings also scored one goal while he was in net. The final score of the game was 6–5 in favor of St. Louis; as Fukufuji was the goaltender who allowed the decisive sixth St. Louis goal, he was assessed the loss.

On January 16, 2007, Fukufuji made history again when he became the first Japanese player to start in an NHL game, as he began the game in goal for the Kings against the Atlanta Thrashers. He allowed 3 goals on 9 shots and was pulled.

Fukufuji was not presented with a qualifying offer by the Kings before the 2007–08 season, but returned to the Condors on September 10, 2007, after signing a contract for the 2007–08 season.

On May 25, 2009, Fukufuji was signed by the Destil Trappers of the Eredivisie, the top league in the Netherlands. After one full season with Destil Trappers Fukufuji signed with Nikko Ice Bucks in July 2010.

On January 29, 2020, it was announced that Fukufuji had been selected to represent Japan in the third round of qualifiers for the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

Any more info besides the coinage?
This article seems to be lacking a tremendous amount about a guy who helped start the Roman civil war including his interactions with Gaius Marius, Lucius Cornelius Sulla and does not even mention the First Mithridatic War which was literally named after him. Honestly this article should be re-titled "Coinage of Mithridates IV of Pontus" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.247.52.50 (talk) 03:23, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Macapagal

Macapagal (rare variant: Makapagal; ) is a Filipino surname derived from the Kapampangan language.

The family claims noble descent from Dola de Goiti Dula, a legitimate grandchild of Lakan Dula, the last "王" or King of Tondo "東都" (Dongdu). It is the only known branch of the Seludong's royal family to have survived the Majapahit Empire's invasion, the Sultanate of Brunei's pogrom against native royals, Chinese warlord Limahong's massacres, and the fallout from the Tondo Conspiracy. The family survived due to Martin de Goiti's giving of his Mestiza (Half Aztec and Half-Spanish) daughter in marriage to Batang Dula, the eldest son of Lakan Bunao Dula of the Lakanate of Tondo. As time went on, they incorporated the descendants from the two other royal houses: the house of Rajah Matanda (ऋअज ंअतन्द) and the house of Tariq Suleiman (سليمان).

The family then migrated to Pampanga and Northern Samar after the Spanish assumed control of Manila.

The following are people possessing the Macapagal surname:
