Achila II

Achila II (also spelled Agila, Aquila, or Akhila; died c. 714) was the Visigothic king of Hispania from 710 or 711 until his death. The kingdom he ruled was restricted to the northeast of the old Hispanic kingdom on account of the Arabo-Berber invasions.

Achila's reign is known solely from coins and regnal lists and is not mentioned by reliable narrative histories. Gold coins of Achila's have been found bearing the inscriptions of the mints of Girona, Zaragoza, Tarragona, and Narbonne. Because the narrative sources, the numismatics, and the regnal lists all confirm the reign of Roderic during the same years as Achila, it is almost doubtless that the two were kings in opposition to each other following Roderic's coup, which may have resulted either in or from the death of the previous king, Wittiza.

There are more coins surviving from Achila's kingdom than Roderic's, but the findings do not overlap in territory and it is suspected that the kingdom had been divided between two factions, with the southwest (the provinces of Lusitania and western Carthaginiensis around the capital Toledo) following (or being subjected to) Roderic and the northeast (Tarraconensis and Narbonensis) falling under the rule of Achila. It is unknown to whom the provinces of Gallaecia and Baetica fell. Roderic and Achila never appear to have come into military conflict; this is probably best explained by the preoccupation of Roderic with Arab raids and not to a formal division of the kingdom.

Two continuations of the Chronicon Regum Visigothorum record Achila's reign of three years following immediately upon Wittiza's. It has even been suggested by some scholars that Achila was in fact Wittiza's son and successor and that Roderic had tried to usurp the throne from him, even that he had been a co-ruler with Wittiza since 708. Any son of Wittiza would have been a child in 711. Achila's reign probably began shortly after Roderic's and lasted until 713 or 714.

During Achila's brief reign, Arab raids began to plague the south of Hispania, where Roderic ruled. Roderic tried to defeat them but was killed in the attempt. Some supporters of Achila may have deserted Roderic on his final campaign. Because of the oppressive policy of his predecessors towards the Jews and the large Jewish population of Narbonensis and because of what he stood to gain should Roderic be removed, military historian Bernard Bachrach has written that "[t]here is a temptation to conclude that the Muslims, King Achila, and the Jews all joined together, at least temporarily, to overthrow Roderic."

It is possible that an ecclesiastic named Oppa was declared king at Toledo by rivals of both Roderic and Achila, either before Roderic's defeat and death at the Battle of the Guadalete or between his death and the Arab capture of Toledo. Whatever the case, almost all of Hispania save Gallaecia, the Asturias, the country of the Basques, and the valley of the Ebro had fallen to the Arabs within a couple years of Roderic's death. In 713 the Arabs and their Berber allies began the conquest of the Ebro valley, taking Zaragoza. These events coincide with the end of Achila's three-year reign and may have accounted for his death in battle with the invaders. The nature of the discovery of a smattering of coins at El Bovalar near Lleida shows that El Bovalar probably fell and was razed by the invaders in 714.

Achila was succeeded by Ardo, who only reigned in Narbonensis north of the Pyrenees and probably died in the Arab invasion of that region in 721.

Michael & Me

Michael & Me is an independent, self-financed 2005 American documentary film created by Los Angeles–based radio and television talk show host Larry Elder. The direct-to-DVD documentary attempts to disprove statements made by filmmaker Michael Moore in his 2002 documentary film Bowling for Columbine about the relationship between American culture, gun ownership and increased violence. The documentary mirrors Moore's landmark 1989 documentary, Roger & Me, in tone and interview style. The film is frequently presented at conservative film festivals.

Overview
In Michael & Me, Elder interviews people who have used guns to prevent becoming a victim of crime to provide evidence that an armed society is a safer society. For example, Elder interviews a woman identified as "Jane Doe," a real estate agent who was raped by a client. Elder states that the victim "would have been able to protect herself" were she armed.

Production notes
In an August 2005 interview on Hannity & Colmes, Elder stated that he took out a home equity loan to finance the documentary's estimated $350,000 budget.

Thieves' Highway

Thieves' Highway is a 1949 American film noir directed by Jules Dassin and starring Richard Conte, Valentina Cortese and Lee J. Cobb. The screenplay was written by A. I. Bezzerides, based on his novel Thieves' Market. The film was released on DVD as part of the Criterion Collection in 2005.

Plot
Nico "Nick" Garcos is a veteran of World War II, who arrives, from Asia, at his family home in Fresno, California to find that his foreign-born father, who became a produce truck driver, has lost his legs and was forced to sell his truck. He learns that his father was crippled at the hands of an unscrupulous produce dealer in San Francisco, called Mike Figlia. Garcos vows revenge for his father.

Garcos goes into business with Ed Kinney, who bought the Garcos truck, and drives a truckload of apples to San Francisco, where he runs into Figlia, and his truck is sabotaged, and unable to move, due to a cut tire. The truck is blocking Figlia's busy wholesale stand, and cannot be towed.

Figlia hires a streetwalker, Rica, to seduce and preoccupy Nick in her room while his men unload the apples without Nick's permission. Figlia later pays Nick for his fruit, but that night his goons waylay and rob Nick of the cash.

Meanwhile, Kinney's truck, full of apples, has been struggling on the drive to San Francisco and the drive shaft universal joint breaks as he is driving downhill, preventing downshifting (engine braking). The brakes also seem to fail. In a horrific crash Kinney initially survives but the truck bursts into flames and he is burned alive, despite several onlookers. Polly, Nick's hometown sweetheart, then arrives in the city ready to marry him, but leaves disillusioned after she finds him recovering from his beating in Rica's apartment and with no money. Nick and a trucker finally confront the cowed bully Figlia at a tavern, in San Francisco, Nick beats him, and Figlia is arrested, restoring Nick's family honor. Nick and Rica happily drive off and plan to get married.

Cast

 * Richard Conte as Nico "Nick" Garcos
 * Valentina Cortese as Rica
 * Lee J. Cobb as Mike Figlia
 * Barbara Lawrence as Polly Faber
 * Jack Oakie as Slob
 * Millard Mitchell as Ed Kinney
 * Joseph Pevney as Pete
 * Morris Carnovsky as Yanko Garcos
 * Tamara Shayne as Parthena Garcos
 * Kasia Orzazewski as Mrs. Polansky
 * Norbert Schiller as Mr. Polansky
 * Hope Emerson as Midge, a buyer

Production
Dana Andrews and Victor Mature originally were announced for the lead.

The film was shot in 30 days.

Some of the film was shot on location in San Francisco, and is noted for its accurate depiction of the vibrant fruit and produce market in that city, then located adjacent to the Embarcadero north of the Ferry Building. The Figlia Market is depicted on the corner of Washington and Davis Streets (clearly indicated by a street sign). The produce market was closed and moved to the southeastern part of the city by the end of the 1950s. The warehouses were demolished to make way for the Alcoa Building (now known as One Maritime Plaza), and the Golden Gateway residential and commercial development. The Hotel Colchester where Rica resides was located at 259 Embarcadero (now a parking lot). Also depicted is the old State Belt Line Railroad which provided service to the piers and warehouses of the entire Embarcadero.

Some of the outdoor produce market scenes were shot at the Oakland Produce Market, near today's Jack London Square.

Reception
When the film was released, New York Times film critic Bosley Crowther said, as a part of a larger review:"'But particular thanks for this crisp picture should go to the Messrs. Bezzerides and Dassin for their keen writing, well-machined construction and sharpness of imagery. Once again, Mr. Dassin, who directed 'The Naked City,' has gone forth into actual settings for his backgrounds — onto the highways and the city streets, the orchards and teeming produce markets of California and San Francisco. He has got the look and 'feel' of people and places in the produce world. You can almost sense the strain of trucking and smell the crated fruit. More than that, he has got the excitement and the tension of commerce today. 'Thieves' Highway' is a first-class melodrama which just misses — yes, just misses — being great.'"

Thieves' Highway is considered an example of film gris, according to the classification of Thom Andersen. ''

Talk:Dutch Americans

Question
Nice article, but what do you mean exactly with

In the 1840s, the Dutch farmer immigrants were accompanied by Reformed Christian immigrants fleeing religious persecution

The Netherlands are not known for religious intolerance. Often emigrants do not find the place they leave behind not to their religious taste but these people can also be labeled as religious fundamentalists. V8rik 22:40, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

 * (While I agree in general, Catholics have been regarded as second rate citizens for centuries after the independance, and in some times (1600s) even persecuted, this was one of the factors why Belgium separated)
 * To my knowledge while New York was seized during Anglo-Dutch wars several time, the definite change of hands was after the 2nd war, and a trade against Suriname. At the time it was considered a good deal for the Dutch. History might have proven them wrong :_) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.127.115.114 (talk) 12:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

 * there was some repression; in 1842 the Dutch 'gereformeerde' protestant church broke away from the older hervomde 'protestant' church. The Dutch government tried to stop this new church by incarcerating some of its members and giving them fines. I agree, it wasn't the Spanish inquisition, but it did lead to it that many (among which were some distant relatives of mine) went to Michigan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.229.68.45 (talk) 15:54, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Article | rewrite
The sheer number of sources is (beyond) impressive but the article could be better, I'll try to improve it a bit. Rex 16:24, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Done.Rex 19:49, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Catholics and Protestants
Stripping all the references to "Catholics" and "Protestants" from an article about Dutch Americans is akin to removing the words "North" and "South" from an article on the American Civil War. The two groups had distinctly reasons for emigration, different cultures and different attitudes about life. Holland, Michigan is no Little Chute, Wisconsin, and visa versa. While the article needed a re-write, the current version it lost some soul. Jhuiting 19:41, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Considering the article as it was, all the remarks on religious figures were unnecesary details and made the artcle somewhat incomprehensible.Rex 19:59, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

 * “…religious figures were unnecesary(sic) details…”
 * Either you’re trying to yank my chain or you’re an anti-religious zealot. Or both.  In any case, I’m not rising to the bait. I am not a religious person.  I am, however, quite aware of the role of Catholicism and Calvinism in the lives of the Dutch, before and after they immigrated.   This is substantiated in all literature.
 * I'm not interested in an editing war. You’ve edited a lot of these articles; what are the procedures for consensus?  Jhuiting 14:39, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Look, I'm not against adding the relegious information, but it has to be evened out by other data. Before the rewrite this article was like 80% religious information - 20@ other. Rex 15:18, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Now we have some common ground. I agree the original article was too religious.  The Dutch Americans described in that article were not the Dutch Americans I grew up in in NE Wisconsin.  Why the difference: they were Calvinist (Dutch Reform) and my people were Catholics.  The differences are huge.
 * First, Catholics generally emigrated in groups – whole neighborhoods – usually led by a priest. The Dutch government was glad to get rid of them and they, second-class citizens for decades until the early 1800s, were glad to go.  The Dutch Reformists, on the other hand,  left on a more individual basis, and in line with their Calvinist beliefs, were going to prove themselves in America.
 * Predictably, the Dutch American towns, Catholic and Calvinist, were different.  The Catholic drank, danced, played cards, focused on farming, listened to the priest. Relative to the Calvinists, they were probably not as financially set.  And didn’t strive to be.    The result: St Norbert College (liberal liberal arts), Kermis (with beer and dancing), and a live and let live attitude. Little Chute, the epicenter, can't quite get the Dutch tourism thing going.  But it probably has a dozen bars and is a fun place to go.
 * The Calvinist were just the opposite. Hard working and striving for success, they tended to do better, focus on advancement and education and advancing the Church. No drinking, cards or dancing.  The result is many more colleges (Calvin College for example), better run towns with active tourism, no bars, tulip festivals…  Plus a couple of Dutch Presidents.
 * The Dutch American communities, both Catholic and Calvinist, had/have many similar qualities: single nationality dominating the town, thrifty (more honestly cheap as hell – I know being one), focus on religion, neat clean, independent, etc.  They are all assimilating at a rapid rate.
 * In sum, the difference in religion played a large part in the town's characters. Catholic are fun, Calvists are driven.  I know this is a lot of POV.   Taking the 80% to 0%, however, in my opinion missed the mark.  I'll try to add some documented examples when I have time. Jhuiting 00:06, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I look forward to them. I understand you are a Dutch American yourself? Might I ask what you last name is? Rex 14:40, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Three quite prominent Dutch Americans blanked from article
See. Badagnani (talk) 03:50, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The more you play games, the more I revert. Find sources that call these men "Dutch Americans." It's unlikely you'll find them, as they're not considered that, but you might (albeit they have to be reliable). Until then, dicussion is over. Bulldog123 (talk) 08:37, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Removal of Rik Smits
Why was Rik Smits removed in this edit, when his own article states that he is a "Dutch American"? It may be possible for some Dutch individuals who have lived for many years in the U.S. to have acquired dual citizenship, or to be considered "permanent residents" of the U.S. Such long-time residents are often considered as "X Americans," despite their lack of U.S. citizenship, because they have adopted the U.S. as their new home. Please use "Discussion" to propose such removals in the future. Badagnani (talk) 18:40, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Stop Removing and Changing Dutch American
As all European American have, I also created Pictures in the infobox that represent a examples of Dutch or partial Dutch ancestry as the first edited article describe it So stop vandalising this article for nothing that have only diminuing it and removing essensial things. Any rejection will be Posted here thanks 41.249.102.123 (talk) 00:14, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I would argue almost all of the additions are dubious at best. De Niro is an American with mostly Italian ancestry, Bush's lineage comes from England. They may have some Dutch ancestry but this does not make them Dutch-Americans, and they're not suitable as representatives for this article. You will have to provide sources for your edit or I will have to remove the images again per the guidelines Biographies of living persons, No original research, and Verifiability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LuciferJ (talk • contribs) 08:28, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I think you should revise a bit your infos. Bush family came from different corners of Europe including Netherlands, and D Niro is from French, German, Dutch, English and Italian ancestry, thats, you can find it in Wikipedia himself. Well not good to remove Images, but very bad to remove others that pruv have entierly Dutch heritage like Roosevelt or Meester, same for Streep and Applegate, thanks 41.249.47.216 (talk) 08:00, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia itself can't be used as a source for its articles. I think most of your additions don't identify themselves as Dutch-Americans and should not be listed in this article. Also, your vandalizing edits here and here don't exactly speak to your credibility. LuciferJ (talk) 07:50, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Well what you gotta do if all Dutch americans are sharing different identities, and the most well known in fact. just sayed if you remove those pictures, you can't find a real Dutch American to represent the colonizing power, Im speaking naturally about Nederland; 41.251.27.66 (talk) 22:27, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Flagcruft
I've removed the flagcruft in this article. Flags do not represent ethnic groups. They represent countries. DHN (talk) 18:23, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't support this removal, which was unnecessary. Badagnani (talk) 19:31, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Using flags to represent ethnic groups is problematic, and the problem is further confounded when the people do not live in their so-called "homeland". For example, for Chinese American, which flag should be used, the PRC or the ROC?  Should the flag of Israel be used to represent Jews?  Should a national flag that is strenuously opposed by the very group that it's supposed to represent be used to represent them? (see Vietnamese American and Flag of the Republic of Vietnam)  The flag of the Netherlands was adopted in 1937, and I think it's safe to say that most Dutch Americans have ancestors who arrived in the US long before this flag was used.  What's the meaning of this flag?  Do Dutch Americans pledge alliegiance to this flag? DHN (talk) 21:27, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

 * When there's a problem (as with the RVN/DRV flags), the flags can be left out. When there's not, the flags can be left in. Badagnani (talk) 21:30, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Agree with Badagnani, stop removing flags, to the cause that all european that colonize America have one, so no Barbary here in wikipedia. 41.251.27.66 (talk) 21:49, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * How does having the Dutch flag in this article enhance it? Your reasoning that "all european that colonize America have one, so no Barbary here in wikipedia" makes no sense to me.  Are Dutch Americans subjects to the Dutch crown?  Are they represented by the Dutch embassy in the United States? I intend to remove flags representing countries from articles about ethnic groups whenver I see them. DHN (talk) 22:00, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

 * If you do so, you gotta remove all other flags that represent the non indigenous people of North America, like if you still do not understand, France or Portugal, so let flags to each country her own; meantime, you are the only user that intend to remove a unecessary thing in wikipedia, so Im replacing it now, and if it is removed, it will be replaced by another user. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.251.27.66 (talk) 22:10, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Your argument boils down to "if the other articles have it, this one should to". So if the other articles are removed as well, you have no objection to the flag being removed here? DHN (talk) 22:19, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Yep, in fact they have been all removed, it has been a mistake, personally I prefere those articles with flags. ...Well its almost midnight here, I gotta sleep. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.251.27.66 (talk) 22:29, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Paul Bernays

Paul Isaac Bernays (17 October 1888 – 18 September 1977) was a Swiss mathematician who made significant contributions to mathematical logic, axiomatic set theory, and the philosophy of mathematics. He was an assistant and close collaborator of David Hilbert.

Biography
Bernays was born into a distinguished German-Jewish family of scholars and businessmen. His great-grandfather, Isaac ben Jacob Bernays, served as chief rabbi of Hamburg from 1821 to 1849.

Bernays spent his childhood in Berlin, and attended the Köllnische Gymnasium, 1895–1907. At the University of Berlin, he studied mathematics under Issai Schur, Edmund Landau, Ferdinand Georg Frobenius, and Friedrich Schottky; philosophy under Alois Riehl, Carl Stumpf and Ernst Cassirer; and physics under Max Planck. At the University of Göttingen, he studied mathematics under David Hilbert, Edmund Landau, Hermann Weyl, and Felix Klein; physics under Voigt and Max Born; and philosophy under Leonard Nelson.

In 1912, the University of Berlin awarded him a Ph.D. in mathematics for a thesis, supervised by Landau, on the analytic number theory of binary quadratic forms. That same year, the University of Zurich awarded him habilitation for a thesis on complex analysis and Picard's theorem. The examiner was Ernst Zermelo. Bernays was Privatdozent at the University of Zurich, 1912–1917, where he came to know George Pólya. His collected communications with Kurt Gödel span many decades.

Starting in 1917, David Hilbert employed Bernays to assist him with his investigations of the foundation of arithmetic. Bernays also lectured on other areas of mathematics at the University of Göttingen. In 1918, that university awarded him a second habilitation for a thesis on the axiomatics of the propositional calculus of Principia Mathematica.

In 1922, Göttingen appointed Bernays extraordinary professor without tenure. His most successful student there was Gerhard Gentzen. After Nazi Germany enacted the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service in 1933, the university fired Bernays because of his Jewish ancestry.

After working privately for Hilbert for six months, Bernays and his family moved to Switzerland, whose nationality he had inherited from his father, and where the ETH Zurich employed him on occasion. He also visited the University of Pennsylvania and was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1935–36 and again in 1959–60.

Mathematical work
Bernays's collaboration with Hilbert culminated in the two volume work, Grundlagen der Mathematik (English: Foundations of Mathematics) published in 1934 and 1939, which is discussed in Sieg and Ravaglia (2005). A proof in this work that a sufficiently strong consistent theory cannot contain its own reference functor is known as the Hilbert–Bernays paradox.

In seven papers, published between 1937 and 1954 in the Journal of Symbolic Logic (republished in Müller 1976), Bernays set out an axiomatic set theory whose starting point was a related theory John von Neumann had set out in the 1920s. Von Neumann's theory took the notions of function and argument as primitive. Bernays recast von Neumann's theory so that classes and sets were primitive. Bernays's theory, with modifications by Kurt Gödel, is known as von Neumann–Bernays–Gödel set theory.

Hiwa Abdul Rahman Rashul

Hiwa Abdul Rahman Rashul, nicknamed Triple-X by his American guards, was the first ghost detainee to be publicly acknowledged by American authorities.

Captured by Kurdish forces in Iraq in June or July 2003, he was turned over to the CIA who believed he was a member of Ansar al-Islam. He was then moved to a CIA prison in Afghanistan.

Office of Legal Counsel representative Jack L. Goldsmith informed Alberto R. Gonzales in October 2003 that Rashul was legally protected under the 4th Geneva Convention, and must legally be returned to Iraq.

On June 16, 2004 Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld acknowledged that he had ordered Rashul to be imprisoned without record, at the request of DCI George Tenet.

Rashul was nicknamed "Triple-X" because, since he was kept off the books, his guards never learned his real name. When some of the circumstance of his incarceration became public, it was suggested that the reason he had been secretly incarcerated for seven months, without being interrogated, was that he got lost. Because of the order to keep him off the books those who would have interrogated him forgot about him, or could not find him. His whereabouts since 2004 are unknown.

Talk:Chico Buarque

Untitled
When Chico Buarque wrote "Cálice" he means "Cale-se" for it I believe you must put this mean on your translation or say what it means. Gonlet is the literal translation and not the better translation.

two public copyfree Chico Buarge??

[Ouça em Real Audio com Chico Buarque]

[Ouça em Real Audio com Chico Buarque / Tom Jobim]

From [Clube de Tom]

I've changed the translation slightly. Rather than "son of the other one", it is now "son of another". This preserves the consecutive use of "outra", present in the portuguese, and more closely resembles the meter of the original lyric. Robertoalencar 00:32, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Date of birth is given as 1944 in article, and 1945 in sidebar. Which is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.210.47.14 (talk) 20:20, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

=Opinion=

Quite unnecessary to mention other musician like Caetano Veloso or Gilberto Gil as "also exiled" by the dictatorship. Actually i can´t remember of Gil and Caetano exile... they were censored by the dictatorship, but i can´t remember exiles. Also, even considering they were exiled... well no point in link Gil and Caetano since countless artist were also exiled...

As it is also unecessary to metion them as partners. Certainly they work together in some works... still Chico buarque and Caetano Veloso/Gilberto Gil are not usual/famous partners. Edu Lobo, Vinicius de Moraes and Tom Jobim are his usual partners in lyrics and songs. To metion Caetano and Gil is the same as mention also every other musician who work along with Chico... unecessary. By the way, Gil and Caetano are ususally associated with other music references... quite oposite to Chico´s references(Bossa Nova).

Cavallazzi, 09 october 2006

 * Although Cavallazzi's post dates from long in the past, it needs commenting on to avoid misleading readers.
 * Cavallazzi's point about Chico Buarque's partnerships is valid. However, anybody who knows anything about Brazilian musical history knows that Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil were exiled. A person who "does not remember" whether they were exiled or not is hardly qualified to comment on the matter.
 * The fact is that, apart from Chico Buarque himself, the only musicians of his generation who had equivalent prominence and went go into exile were Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. Jorge Benjor and Milton Nascimento had similar standing, but neither of them went into exile. Consequently it was perfectly reasonable for the writer of the original Wikipedia article to bracket Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil together as exiles. In fact if you look at the Wikipedia article on Brazilian military government, you will see that they are quite correctly bracketed together there too. Brumel (talk) 11:57, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

I changed the part that mentions Chico Buarque as one of the great musicians of Brazil, anybody that studied music would tell you that he has nothing of a good musician. It makes no sense and it is irrelevant. ThankS BBSEKU
 * I have a university degree in music and have been a professional musician (now retired) so I think I qualify as having "studied music". I would certainly say that Chico Buarque is one of the great musicians of Brazil, in fact I would place him in the top three. [I am only inserting this note because otherwise people who do not know much about Brazilian music might get confused by the extraordinary misinformation purveyed by BBSEKU.) Brumel (talk)

The part in wich Chico is considered "a famous communist" is ridicolous. The link is insignificant. I propose to eliminate it. Luca 25.02.2007

I eliminated the part that speaks about Chico as a famous communist. 01.03.2007 Luca

No Luca, it is not ridiculous, ridicolus is to take away a historical fact that provides a valid source, if you change it again I will have to report you. Thank you 03.16.2007 BBSEKU

 * I have removed the "famous communist" allegation since it violates both WP:NPOV and WP:RS. Lyndon LaRouche's website does not qualify as a reliable source of information, especially when it comes to politics. - | | | antiuser (talk) (contribs) 19:00, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Well done. "Famous communist" is not the truth when applied to Chico Buarque. Thank you for the correction. --Justana (talk) 20:15, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Note on "Cálice"
"Filho da puta" would be closer to "motherfucker" than "son of a bitch"; you can hear the latter on prime time sitcoms, something that would never happen with "filho da puta" (or "motherfucker"). "Filho da mãe" is a better equivalent of "son of a bitch". Macgreco 18:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

 * "Filho da puta" is the literal translation of "son of a bitch"... I think it's more fitting to understanding the lyric. | | | antiuser (talk) (contribs) 17:15, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

On Calice: I don't think that "Calice" is a good choice for an example of Buarque, since it is a collaboration with Gilberto Gil and I have actually seen the lyrics attributed to Gil. Even if it was a Lyrical as well as musical collaboration, it would make sense to use an example from a song of Buarque's that was unambiguously his lyricallyIndividualperson 14:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I'd suggest not eliminating "Cálice" but putting "Construção" as well, it is a similar song in having a political theme and is completely by Chico.

Gold Trivia
Read this on the trivia: "Chico is the brother of singer Miúcha and uncle of her daughter, singer Bebel Gilberto". This is gold.
 * Indeed I agree it is far from clear ... maybe it should read "Chico is the brother of singer Miúcha (his sister) and uncle of her daughter, singer Bebel Gilberto (his niece)." I believe this would clarify the situation. Abtract 09:47, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Chico Buarque is NOT related to Aurélio Buarque. reference: http://terramagazine.terra.com.br/interna/0,,OI1110440-EI6782,00.html (HelenoBR)
 * ATENTION!

Deleted text
I deleted a piece of the text that included "Vai passar" (1983) as a not censored song. This information has no sense. There was not censorship in Brazil at that time. It was over in 1980. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Victor Silveira (talk • contribs) 04:05, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Hugh Armstrong (politician)

Hugh Armstrong (August 5, 1858 – March 4, 1926) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1892 to 1896 and from 1902 to 1915, and was a senior cabinet minister in the government of Rodmond Roblin. Armstrong was a member of the Conservative Party.

Early life
Armstrong was born in New York City, New York, in 1858, and moved to Ontario with his parents one year later. He moved to Manitoba in 1883, and settled in Portage la Prairie in 1896. He worked as a fish exporter, and was a prominent figure in Manitoba's early fish industry.

Political career
He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the provincial election of 1892, winning without opposition in the Woodlands constituency. The Manitoba Liberal Party won a majority government in this election, and Armstrong sat with the small opposition group.

He resigned from the legislature in 1896 to run for the House of Commons of Canada as a candidate of the federal Conservative Party. He lost the riding of Selkirk to Liberal Party candidate John Alexander MacDonell by a single vote.

The Manitoba Conservative Party formed government in 1900, initially under Hugh John Macdonald and subsequently under Rodmond Roblin. Armstrong returned to the legislature in 1902, and the sitting member for Portage la Prairie died. He was again returned without opposition, and sat as a government backbencher.

Armstrong was re-elected in the 1903 election, defeating Liberal candidate Edward Brown by thirty-three votes. Brown became leader of the provincial Liberal Party in 1907, and again challenged Armstrong in that year's general election. Armstrong was again victorious, defeating Brown by 223 votes.

Armstrong entered Roblin's cabinet on November 19, 1908, in the senior portfolio of Provincial Treasurer. He served in this capacity for the remainder of his career in politics. In the 1910 election, he defeated Liberal challenger Ewan McPherson by 201 votes.

MacPherson challenged Armstrong again in the 1914 provincial election, and this time defeated him by ten votes. The Conservatives again won a majority government, and Armstrong returned to the legislature after winning a deferred election in the northern constituency of Grand Rapids.

In 1915, the Roblin ministry was forced to resign from office after a report commissioned by the Lieutenant Governor found the government guilty of corruption in the tendering of contracts for new legislative buildings. Armstrong resigned from office on May 12, 1915, and did not seek re-election in the 1915 campaign.

Talk:Antonio Aguilar Barraza

Untitled
September 5, 2006 It is funny and sad that this entry was nominated for deletion. Instead, it should be preserved. Unfortunately, there are not many documented sources available for a legend like Antonio Aguilar in hard print like history books. Much of his entry probably came from IMDB or maybe even a Mexican site that lists his record/movie accomplishments. I do not know as I did not create his entry. However, contrast his entry to John Hillerman, the actor, who was on "Magnum P.I." Not to create a squabble, but Antonio Aguilar's contains as much or more information than that entry. In addition, while many facts are cited about Mr. Hillerman, none are cited. Yet, a banner sits across Mr. Aguilar's entry proclaiming that his entry does not cite its references or sources. I submit to you, the gentle reader, that like Mr. Hillerman - Mr. Aguilar's achievements are well known in the Latin American world and somewhat verifiable through IMDB and the other sites listed.

Keep Antonio Aguilar
I believe Antonio Aguilar deserves to be on Wikipedia. He has contributed so much more than music and movies to his fans. Before the internet, and Indie foreign films were made availabe in the U.S. Antonio Aguilar traveled to key cities in the United States with his family touring with different acts, singers, performers, rodeo style. He brought with him a little bit of home to many immigrated Mexican Americans, and a an insight to a culture viewable close-up and in person.

Stub classification
I have classified this article as a stub. It needs sourcing. It also needs to establish Aguilar's notabiliity more clearly. According to his AP obituary "Mexican mariachi singer and actor Antonio Aguilar, who recorded more than 150 albums and began his acting career during Mexico’s “Golden Era” of cinema, has died in Mexico City. He was 88."

 * I have reclassified the article as a start given the level of detail and that the article is now referenced. Capitalistroadster 22:06, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Slow Train to Izmir

Slow Train to Izmir is a 2002 play written by Mark Angus. It has been performed at the Southwark Playhouse, where it was directed by Maggie Zolinsky. The play is based on a true story (Dorak affair) and focuses on the Anglo-Dutch archaeologist James Mellaart. In the late 1950s and early 1960s he was accused of, in turn, stealing an invaluable collection of Neolithic artefacts found near Dorak in Turkey and, ultimately, of fabricating their entire existence. The play deals with attempts by the Turkish press both to recover the treasure and to expose Mellaart and the western archaeology 'industry' as corrupt. The city mentioned in the title is İzmir, Turkey.

The premier at the Southwark Playhouse starred Robert Bowman, Jane Allighan, Anna-Marie Wayne and Paul Croft.

Wah Cantonment

The Wah Cantonment (often abbreviated to Wah Cantt)  is a military base in Wah, Pakistan. It is a part of the Taxila Tehsil of the Rawalpindi District, Pakistan. It is the 24th most populous city in Pakistan by population. The municipality is located 30 km northwest of the metropolitan region of Islamabad-Rawalpindi and southwest of the Haripur District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

History
Wah Cantt is located near the ancient city of Taxila, a small town enriched with one of the most important archaeological sites in the world and the “First University of the World”, located near Wah Cantt.

It is believed that the name 'Wah' originated in the Mughal era. The name was coined by Jahangir, the Mughal emperor, while en route to Lahore after a visit to Kashmir, while residing in Wah village, which was formerly known as 'Jalal Sar'. Emperor Jahangir's army was searching for a place to rest where there was water because they were tired. When he saw a spot with a fresh water source, he yelled, “Wah.” Subsequently, individuals began to refer to the area as 'Wah'. In 1849, the region was brought under British rule and the British government decided to expand the Wah Cantonment which had turned into a British military camp. The Mughal invasion of this area had a significant impact on the architecture of the village and surrounding areas. You can still see it today in the Wah Gardens. Other notable locations include the Wah Ordnance Club and the POF hotel. The Pakistani Arms Manufacturing Company is a consortium of twenty manufacturing facilities that produce guns, armoured vehicles, and other weapons for the Pakistan Army.

Military
Wah Cantt is a place where soldiers live and work. The entire area is completely closed to vehicular traffic, except the barriers that are under the supervision of the Pakistan Military Guards. All cars that enter the city have to have a pass or permit. The temporary pass can be obtained by presenting their identification card at the entry point to the city. It is then possible to retrieve it upon departure from the city.

The city's administration is handled by the Cantonment Board.

Education
Wah Cantt has a high literacy level and a literacy rate likely exceeding 95%. In this small town, there are many colleges, medical schools, and many other technical schools and colleges. Numerous students hailing from Wah Cantt are currently pursuing higher education at prestigious universities in Pakistan and abroad. Many places in the area have a history connected to it, such as Taxila, an old town nearby that was a place where people learned for many years.

Many professional universities have been established over the past five years, as well as many private and government schools and colleges. This list encompasses both the University of Wah and the COMSATS University Islamabad, Wah Campus. The Swedish College of Engineering and Technology is among well-known engineering college which is affiliated with the University of Engineering Technology Taxila.

Carmañola Americana

The Carmañola Americana (American Carmagnole) is a revolutionary song composed circa 1797 following the model of the French Carmagnole. In context, it was composed during the independentist movement of Manuel Gual and José María España. The song incited the population to revolt against dictatorial rule, seeking for freedom and independence.

Currently, the Carmañola Americana is the anthem for the Vargas State, Venezuela.

Lyrics
Chorus Bailen los sin camisas y viva el son, bailen los sin camisas y viva el son del cañón.

I Yo que soy un sin camisa un baile tengo que dar y en lugar de guitarras, cañones sonaran.

II Si alguno quiere saber por que estoy descamisado, porque con los tributos el rey me ha desnudado.

III No hay exceso ni maldad que el rey no haya ejecutado no hay fuero, no hay derecho que no haya violado. IV Todos los reyes del mundo son igualmente tiranos y uno de los mayores es ese infame Carlos.

V Todos ellos a porfía nos tiranizan furiosos, son crueles, son avaros, son soberbios y orgullosos.

VI Pero no tardaran mucho en recibir su castigo, porque ya los sin camisas afilan sus cuchillos.

VII Los sanculotes en Francia al mundo hicieron temblar, mas los descamisados no se quedaran atrás.

VIII De la ira americana ya podéis temblar, tiranos, que con los sin camisas vuestra hora ha llegado.

(Chorus) (Instrumental)

IX Cuando por la libertad algún pueblo ha peleado, no hay ejemplo ninguno de haber sido humillado.

X Dios protege nuestra causa, Él dirige nuestro brazo que el rey con sus delitos su justicia ha irritado.

XI Florecerán nuestras artes, comercio y agricultura y viviremos todos en la paz más segura.

XII La fraternidad a todos con sus frutos ligara y el fruto de su industria cada uno lograra.

Mimi Gardner Gates

Mary "Mimi" Gates (née Gardner; born July 30, 1943) is an American art historian who is the recent director of the Seattle Art Museum. In 1996, she married Bill Gates Sr., the father of Bill Gates.

Early life
Gates obtained a B.A. degree in art history from Stanford University, a certificate with honors in Chinese language and culture from the École Nationale des Langues Orientales Vivantes in Paris, an M.A. degree in Oriental and Chinese Studies from the University of Iowa, and a Ph.D. degree in Art History from Yale University.

Career
An old friend of Teresa Heinz Kerry, she is also a frequent juror for the Heinz Awards, appointed by the Heinz Family Philanthropies to award outstanding achievement in the area of Arts and Humanities.

She was curator of Asian art and then director of the Yale University Art Gallery. At Yale, she contributed to the development of the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) guideline discouraging the sale of artwork in a Museum's collection, even to cover operating costs. In a brief, she detailed her view that museum collections are "a public trust". She has also lobbied the U.S. and Chinese negotiators to ensure that implementation of UNESCO rules about non-archaeological cultural exports do not tie the hands of American curators.

She came to Seattle in 1994 to head the museum, and during her tenure, added over 2500 works to the collections. Among these are many Asian art treasures and works by Van Dyck, Albert Bierstadt, Richard Serra and Alexander Calder. The museum has also established the Olympic Sculpture Park, which displaced the maintenance barn for the Waterfront Streetcar and caused its permanent shutdown. By 2005, the museum's endowment had tripled to over $75 million and the region's first conservation studio was opened. In 1999, the museum discovered that a Matisse painting in its possession was looted by Nazis and owned by the descendants of French-Jewish art dealer Paul Rosenberg. Gates brokered an 11th-hour settlement that returned the artwork, after which the museum sued the gallery that had sold it the painting in the 1950s. Gates has co-authored Porcelain Stories: From China to Europe and Biblical Art and the Asian Imagination

Gates retired from the Seattle Art Museum in 2009.

Gates, elected by Yale alumni, served a six-year term, commencing July 1, 2007, on the Yale Corporation, Yale University’s governing body.

Personal life
In 1996, Mimi married Bill Gates Sr., father of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. Bill Sr. died in 2020.

Jackie Kay

Jacqueline Margaret Kay, (born 9 November 1961), is a Scottish poet, playwright, and novelist, known for her works Other Lovers (1993), Trumpet (1998) and Red Dust Road (2011). Kay has won many awards, including the Somerset Maugham Award in 1994, the Guardian Fiction Prize in 1998 and the Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust Book of the Year Award in 2011.

From 2016 to 2021, Jackie Kay was the Makar, the poet laureate of Scotland. She was Chancellor of the University of Salford between 2015 and 2022.

Early life and education
Jackie Kay was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1961, to a Scottish mother and a Nigerian father. She was adopted as a baby by a white Scottish couple, Helen and John Kay, and grew up in Bishopbriggs, a suburb of Glasgow. They adopted Jackie in 1961, having already adopted her brother, Maxwell, about two years earlier. Jackie and Maxwell also have siblings who were brought up by their biological parents.

Her adoptive father worked for the Communist Party full-time and stood for Member of Parliament, and her adoptive mother was the Scottish secretary of Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. As a child, Kay suffered racism from children and teachers at school. John Kay died in 2019 at the age of 94.

As a teenager she worked as a cleaner, working for David Cornwell—who wrote under the pen-name John le Carré—for four months. She recommended cleaning work to aspiring writers, saying: "It's great ... You're listening to everything. You can be a spy, but nobody thinks you're taking anything in." Cornwell and Kay met again in 2019; he remembered her and had been following her.

In August 2007, Kay was featured in the fourth episode of the BBC Radio 4 series The House I Grew Up In, in which she talked about her childhood.

Career
Initially thinking of being an actor, she decided to concentrate on writing after Alasdair Gray, a Scottish artist and writer, read her poetry and told her that writing was what she should be doing. She studied English at the University of Stirling and her first book of poetry, the partially autobiographical, The Adoption Papers, was published in 1991 and won the Saltire Society Scottish First Book Award and a Scottish Arts Council Book Award in 1992. It is a multiply voiced collection of poetry that deals with identity, race, nationality, gender, and sexuality from the perspectives of three women: an adopted biracial child, her adoptive mother, and her biological mother. Her other prizes include the 1994 Somerset Maugham Award for Other Lovers, and the Guardian Fiction Prize for Trumpet, inspired by the life of American jazz musician Billy Tipton, a transgender man.

In 1997, Kay published a biography of blues singer Bessie Smith; it was reissued in 2021. An abridged version read by the author featured as BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week in the last week of February 2021.

Kay writes extensively for stage (in 1988 her play Twice Over was the first by a Black writer to be produced by Gay Sweatshop Theatre Group), screen and for children. Her drama The Lamplighter is an exploration of the Atlantic slave trade. It was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in March 2007, produced by Pam Fraser Solomon, during a season marking the bicentenary of the Slave Trade Act 1807,  and was published in printed form as a poem in 2008.

In 2010 Kay published Red Dust Road, an account of her search for her biological parents, who had met each other when her father was a student at Aberdeen University and her mother was a nurse. The book was adapted for the stage by Tanika Gupta and premiered in August 2019 at the Edinburgh International Festival in a production by National Theatre of Scotland and HOME, at the Royal Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh. Comparisons have been drawn between this work and Looking for Transwonderland by Noo-Saro-Wiwa.

She is currently Professor of Creative Writing at Newcastle University, and Cultural Fellow at Glasgow Caledonian University. Kay lives in Manchester. She took part in the Bush Theatre's 2011 project Sixty-Six Books, her piece being based on the book of Esther from the King James Bible. In October 2014, it was announced that she had been appointed as the Chancellor of the University of Salford, and that she would be the university's "Writer in Residence" from 1 January 2015.

In March 2016, Kay was announced as the next Scots Makar (national poet of Scotland), succeeding Liz Lochhead, whose tenure ended in January 2016.

She was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2006 Birthday Honours for services to literature, and Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2020 New Year Honours, again for services to literature. Kay was on the list of the BBC's 100 Women announced on 23 November 2020.

Personal life
Kay is a lesbian. In her twenties she gave birth to a son, Matthew (whose father is the writer Fred D'Aguiar), and later she had a 15-year relationship with poet Carol Ann Duffy. During this relationship, Duffy had a daughter, Ella, whose biological father is fellow poet Peter Benson.

Saccharopinuria

Saccharopinuria (an excess of saccharopine in the urine), also called saccharopinemia, saccharopine dehydrogenase deficiency or alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde synthase deficiency, is a variant form of hyperlysinemia. It is caused by a partial deficiency of the enzyme saccharopine dehydrogenase, which plays a secondary role in the lysine metabolic pathway. Inheritance is thought to be autosomal recessive, but this cannot be established as individuals affected by saccharopinuria typically have only a 40% reduction in functional enzyme.

Down the Street

Down the Street was a gay nightclub in Asbury Park, New Jersey, United States.

History
It was opened in 1988 by John Hitchcock, previously manager and DJ at another club, M&K. The name 'Down the Street' was used because it was located down the street from other popular gay clubs, Odyssey and M&K.

The club had a dance floor, five bars, light shows, and drag contests. It also had an outside area which included a volleyball court, food cart and another building which housed a quieter bar, The Clubhouse. When Asbury Park declined in the 1980s, all of the other gay clubs in the city closed or were razed. However, Down the Street managed to stay open, and when it closed in 1999 it was the oldest and longest-operating gay disco in New Jersey's history. Hitchcock moved to Florida with his partner and opened a bar called The Cubby Hole.

The resident DJ at Down The Street was Billy Krauter, and other DJs who appeared included Steven Issac and DJ Robert Randy Koska, both of whom played at the opening night in the 1980s and closing night in 1999. The club also hosted performances by artists including Thelma Houston, Sybil and Kristine W.

Anybody's
In 2001, another gay bar, Anybody's, was opened in the small separate building at the back of the club known as "The Clubhouse". The bar closed on June 24, 2006, and was demolished by the city under eminent domain in 2007.

WZVN-TV

WZVN-TV (channel 26) is a television station licensed to Naples, Florida, United States, serving Southwest Florida as an affiliate of ABC. It is owned by Montclair Communications, which maintains a local marketing agreement (LMA) with Hearst Television, owner of Fort Myers–licensed NBC affiliate WBBH-TV (channel 20), for the provision of certain services. The two stations share studios on Central Avenue in Fort Myers; WZVN-TV's transmitter is located along SR 31 in unincorporated southeastern Charlotte County. WZVN-TV is branded as "ABC 7", in reference to its channel location on most cable systems in the market.

Channel 26 went on the air in Naples on August 21, 1974, as WEVU, the first ABC affiliate in Southwest Florida. It operated from studios in Naples and suffered from turnover in ownership as well as poor local ratings. This continued even though the station moved its transmitter further north from its original location in the late 1980s in order to improve its signal in Fort Myers. In 1994, then-owner Ellis Communications entered into an LMA with then-WBBH owner Waterman Broadcasting by which WBBH began to provide the station's news programming. The station itself was then sold in 1996 to Montclair Communications, whose principal has family and business ties with the Waterman family. Though news ratings have remained low, the Waterman LMA gave the station access to additional resources and a path to profitability. The two stations have separate newscasts with separate anchors, though they share reporters and news resources.

Sign-on and early years
In May 1972, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the addition of television channel 26 to Naples at the request of the Gulfshore Television Corporation. Three months prior, G. Vernon Lundquist, founder of Gulfshore, had resigned from his job at WINK-TV in Fort Myers after 20 years and petitioned for the addition of the channel in Naples. Gulfshore then applied for the channel, as did Gray Communications Systems of Albany, Georgia. The construction permit was granted to Gulfshore in July 1973, and the company immediately began to pursue affiliation with ABC. Construction then began on studios located off US 41 in Bonita Springs; a change in the antenna site pushed back completion of the facility.

WEVU first signed on the air on August 21, 1974. Its early months quickly turned turbulent. In December 1974, Lundquist was asked to take a leave of absence by the board of directors; his wife Marilyn, who was tapped to be the operations manager, was fired. Early the next month, Gulfshore's minority stockholders sued Lundquist, saying that the stock he held was illegally issued; at that same time, the station fired 15 staff, canceled its early evening news, and began signing on at 11:30 a.m. instead of 7 a.m. In a summary judgment that March, a circuit court found in favor of the other stockholders.

In a second lawsuit filed in May 1975, more details surfaced about Lundquist's tenure running the new station. According to the suit filed by Gulfshore's other stockholders, Lundquist solicited a WEVU employee to appear in a sex movie; failed to pay the lease on the station's broadcast equipment; used his own company to make commercials, competing with WEVU's own advertising department; and hired relatives who were unqualified for their positions, jeopardizing the station's future. In addition, the minority owners of Gulfshore said that, by failing to obtain a direct link with ABC, the station had lost $200,000 in advertising business; WEVU obtained its ABC programming off-air from Sarasota's WXLT (channel 40, now WWSB), leaving it at the mercy of WXLT's own preemptions of ABC network fare.

In May 1976, Lundquist sold his controlling interest in WEVU to the other seven stockholders, after his shares were reinstated by an appeals court. With the other members of Gulfshore in control, the company set out to try and get WEVU on the right foot after the station nearly closed; they hired Joe Buerry, one of the founders of WBBH-TV, as the new general manager, and WEVU also restored the local news it had cut back earlier. In one embarrassing mishap, in May 1978, a film distributor mixup was responsible for the station airing 30 minutes of an X-rated film instead of its intended late feature, Daring Game.

Home News era
In May 1978, Gulfshore announced the sale of channel 26 to Caloosa Television, a subsidiary of the Home News Company of New Brunswick, New Jersey, for a total of $3.3 million. WEVU was the seventh broadcasting property owned by Home News and second TV station.

For years, it had been a standing complaint of viewers, and southwest Florida's TV stations, that Miami Dolphins games that did not sell out could not be aired in the Fort Myers–Naples market. In 1979, then-new news director Jack Speiss was surprised when the station did not air a Monday Night Football game because of a blackout; he eventually was able to telephone then-Dolphins owner Joe Robbie, who told him in no uncertain terms, "I'm not going to allow you to broadcast it." Tension over what came to be known locally as the "Robbie Rule" boiled over in 1984 when the Dolphins blacked out WEVU again on Monday night. However, once WEVU's scheduled movie ended, and with the game still going on, channel 26 joined the network telecast in progress, and the general manager issued a statement criticizing the "Robbie Rule" which was read on the station's late newscast.

The late 1980s saw two significant upgrades. In 1987, WEVU moved to new studio facilities in the Bonita Bay Executive Center, where the front entrance was designed to also double as an outdoor studio and the station would have more space to operate. (The previous studios were then occupied by WSFP-TV, giving the PBS station its first proper headquarters. ) Its second upgrade, a new tower on the Lee–Collier county line, was more controversial. The National Audubon Society warned that the construction of the tower would cause potential harm to a sanctuary of wood storks and asked the ABC network to intervene in the dispute, which it refused. In October 1987, Lee County approved the zoning for the new transmitter tower; a 1989 settlement brokered by Governor Bob Martinez enabled WEVU to finally build the facility and begin broadcasting from it that summer. The relocated tower improved WEVU's signal in the northern and eastern portions of the market, particularly in Charlotte County. However, by 1991, WEVU still had half the audience share of either WINK or WBBH.

A side venture for WEVU began in the late 1980s with a low-power TV station permit in Fort Myers held by Caloosa that the station wasn't using. Ultimately, Caloosa sold 49 percent of it to Tim Pipher, and the station signed on in August 1988 as W07BR; the station was noted for its extensive affiliations with baseball team networks, carrying more than 180 games a season.

FCVS and Ellis ownership
In 1991, Home News put WEVU on the market in a bid to pay down long-term debt. Home News accepted a bid from Young Broadcasting in January 1992, but the deal fell apart that March, and Home News instead sold WEVU to FCVS Communications of Columbia, South Carolina, for $9.925 million. FCVS, owned by two former ABC executives, promised to infuse resources into WEVU's news department.

FCVS, which also owned WKCH-TV (now WTNZ) in Knoxville, Tennessee, and WACH in Columbia, South Carolina, received an "offer it could not refuse" and sold itself to newly formed Ellis Communications in 1993. However, the station continued to struggle; it was understaffed and had outdated equipment.

Waterman and Hearst LMA
Effective June 1, 1994, Ellis entered into a local marketing agreement (LMA) with WBBH-TV, owned by Waterman Broadcasting, whereby WBBH would produce all news programming for WEVU. Some WEVU staffers were not retained by WBBH; in all, there were 20 firings, including WEVU's main news, weather and sports anchors. The local marketing agreement also saw WEVU leave Bonita Bay to join WBBH at its Central Avenue studios in Fort Myers; WTVK (channel 46) moved from Naples into the old WEVU facilities in 1995.

After Waterman took over WEVU, both stations began identifying by their cable channel slots—WBBH as channel 2 and WEVU as channel 7. The station changed its call letters to the current WZVN-TV (a phonetic translation of "seven") on October 23, 1995, a move to establish credibility for a station whose name had a poor reputation. Former owners Caloosa, who still owned W07BR, promptly reclaimed the WEVU calls for what became WEVU-LP, later WEVU-CA.

Ellis Communications merged with Raycom Media in 1996; under a deal previously made by Ellis, WZVN-TV's license was sold to Montclair Communications, which continued the LMA with WBBH. Montclair was founded by Lara Kunkler, station manager for WBBH and WZVN and the goddaughter of Bernie Waterman, owner of Waterman Broadcasting. The deal allowed a once-unprofitable station to become profitable. In 2001, Waterman attempted to merge with Montclair by way of a stock swap. However, instead of allowing the deal, the FCC let the application languish; at one point, it ordered it unwound by 2004.

On April 5, 2023, Hearst Television announced that it had agreed to purchase WBBH-TV from Waterman for $220 million. Included in the purchase was Hearst assuming the LMA with Montclair for WZVN-TV. The sale was completed on June 30.

News operation
WEVU's first news operation was known as Closeup News with daily 6:30 and 11 p.m. broadcasts; general manager Lundquist presented the weather. When the station fell into financial difficulties, the news department was cut back. After Lundquist was ousted in 1976, Gulfshore reinstated a local news service under the "Newscene" name, airing at 6 and 11 p.m.

In 1981, under Home News ownership, Jack Wheeler, who had been one of the first anchors on Closeup News in 1974, returned to the station; WEVU hoped the new anchor would increase its perennially low ratings. Wheeler also hosted a talk show on WRCC radio at the time. However, when WEVU management changed over, Wheeler was removed from the newscast; he then hosted a morning talk show for channel 26 and later a late-night show before being shown the door in 1985. After having 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts, WEVU added a 6 p.m. broadcast in the fall of 1989; the station made significant improvements in an attempt to lift its news out of third place. Within a year, the 5 p.m. show was discontinued, bringing the station back to two daily evening newscasts.

In the immediate wake of the Waterman LMA, WEVU's news offerings were radically changed; in addition to the dismissals of its main presenting team, WEVU's early news moved to 4 p.m. and its 11 p.m. show was cut back to a five-minute update. Waterman also invested in facilities and equipment. WBBH–WZVN had the market's first Doppler weather radar installed in the mid-1990s, and in 1997, a studio expansion was completed allowing both stations to present simultaneous 11 p.m. newscasts. The stations have dedicated anchors but share reporters; during major hurricane coverage, the stations have often aired a single telecast using their combined news and weather resources. Despite the shared resources, news viewership has tilted strongly toward WBBH over WZVN, which primarily competes for third with WFTX-TV in local news ratings.

From 2006 to 2007, WZVN produced ABC 7 Gulfshore News at 10 for cable channel "WNFM", the MyNetworkTV station in the market available only on Comcast systems. It was canceled as not financially viable.

In 2018, the Waterman stations cut back their sports department; weeknight sportscasts were eliminated, along with the position of sports director for WBBH-TV.

Subchannels
The station's signal is multiplexed:

Analog-to-digital conversion
On October 31, 2002, WZVN-TV and WBBH-TV began broadcasting high-definition television, the first stations in the market to do so. With the move to digital, WZVN moved north from its former site in southern Lee County to WBBH-TV's facility.

WZVN-TV discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 26, on February 17, 2009, the original date on which full-power television stations in the United States were to transition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (which was later pushed back to June 12, 2009). The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 41, using virtual channel 26.

Between October 2019 and March 2020, WZVN-TV broadcast on the WBBH-TV multiplex (physical channel 15) until WZVN began broadcasts on its post-repack channel coinciding with phase 8 of the repack; during construction, the WZVN-TV antenna was not available for use.

Yaracuy State Anthem

The anthem of the Yaracuy State, Venezuela, was written by Pedro María Sosa; the music was composed by Abdón Ramírez.

Lyrics in Spanish Language
Chorus

Alto la fama pregona mis gloriosas tradiciones, la opulencia de mi zona, la virtud de mis varones

I Dominaba la España invasora mis extensas y ricas comarcas repletando insaciable, sus arcas con la savia vital de mi flora. el soberbio castillo almenado que en el puerto cabello se ostenta fue construido con oro esquilmado a mi zona feraz, opulenta.

II A tal punto llegó la crueldad que mi pueblo con voz varonil en la fecha gloriosa de abril entusiasta gritó ¡libertad¡ yo no quise acatar la regencia y firmé con patriótico empeño aquella acta que el pueblo avileño con orgullo exclamó: ¡independencia!

III De Bolívar la fúlgida estrella con denuedo mis hijos siguieron y mis fueros sagrados hubieron en aquella sangrienta epopeya; persiguiendo el audaz español mis guerreros en triunfo llegaron al Perú que también libertaron ¡donde tuvo sus templos el sol!

IV El progreso, esplendente fanal con su mágica luz ilumina la semilla del bien que germina en mi hermoso jardín tropical; elementos contengo, prolijos, honra y prez de mi noble existencia; en la paz, en la guerra, en la ciencia, ¡porque en todo culminan mis hijos!

V Mientras riegue mis valles el río Yaracuy que su nombre me ha dado de la unión federal seré estado y mis pueblos tendrán su albedrío; y si el hado fatal me obligara de la patria a no izar la bandera: ¡que perezca mi raza altanera cual mi tribu inmortal Jirajara!

Allan Border Medal

Awarded during the Australian Cricket Awards, the Allan Border Medal is considered to be the most prestigious individual prize in Australian men's cricket. First awarded in 2000, the medal is named after former Australian men's captain Allan Border and recognises the most outstanding male Australian cricketer of the past season as voted by his peers, the media and umpires. Votes are cast after each game on a 3–2–1 basis, with a weighting applied to give both One Day International and Test players an equal chance of winning the award.

Media
The award ceremony itself is a major publicity event and traditionally takes place at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, towards the end of January or the start of February each year. The 2014, 2015 and 2017 ceremonies however, were all held in Sydney. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 and 2022 ceremonies were unable to be held in person and the awards were instead announced as part of the pre-match show for the BBL Finals.

The award ceremony itself, prior to 2019 was broadcast live and screened on the digital channel Nine (2000 to 2010) and 9Gem (2011 to 2018). Since 2019, the event has been televised live on both Fox Cricket and 7mate channels.

Allan Border Medallists
Five cricketers have won the award more than once. Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke won the award four times, sharing the award in 2009, as well as Steve Smith (4). The other multiple winners include David Warner who has won the award three times, as well as Shane Watson who has won the award twice. Watson also has the highest vote count of 296, with a huge margin of 100 votes in 2011.

Belinda Clark Award
The Belinda Clark Award recognises Australia's best women's international cricketer. Like the Allan Border Medal, it is presented annually and determined by matches played in the previous twelve-month period (for example: Ellyse Perry was the winner of the 2020 award, based on her performances predominantly taking place in 2019). The award is named after former national team captain Belinda Clark, whom the similarly titled Belinda Clark Medal—given to the New South Wales Breakers Player of the WNCL Season—also honours.
