Kentucky Route 55

Kentucky Route 55 (KY 55) is a 140.858 mi state highway in the U.S. Commonwealth of Kentucky.

The route originates at a junction with U.S. Route 127 in Freedom, Russell County. The route continues through Columbia in Adair County to U.S. Route 68 in Campbellsville, Taylor County, where KY 55 joins US 68 east to Lebanon in Marion County. In Lebanon, KY 55 separates from US 68 and proceeds northward through Springfield in Washington County, Bloomfield in Nelson County, and Taylorsville and Elk Creek in Spencer County. In Shelby County it passes through Finchville and Shelbyville and continues north through Eminence in Henry County. Roughly three miles south of New Castle, KY 55 intersects U.S. Route 421. The two routes run concurrent for eight miles (13 km) before splitting near Campbellsburg. KY 55 continues north to Prestonville, where it ends at an intersection with U.S. Route 42 and Kentucky Route 36 on the bank of the Ohio River.

Russell County through Taylor County
The route originates at a junction with U.S. Route 127 in the southern Russell County community of Freedom. The route continues into Adair County through Columbia. In the 2010s, KY 55 was rerouted onto the Columbia Bypass, while the original KY 55 alignment, which went through town and provided Cumberland Parkway access, was re-designated as KY 55 Business.

The route continues northward, bypassing the Green River Lake State Park, and on to U.S. Route 68 in Campbellsville, Taylor County, where KY 55 joins US 68 east, and also runs concurrently with KY 70 for the remaining of that route's concurrency with US 68. US 68 and KY 55 continues north into Marion County.

Marion County through Spencer County
At Lebanon, KY 55 splits from US 68 and continues to Springfield, Washington County, running into downtown Springfield and crossing US 150. It continues north-northwestwardly into eastern Nelson County, providing access to the Bluegrass Parkway and US 62 at Bloomfield. KY 55 goes further north to Spencer County, and goes through Taylorsville.

Shelby County through Carroll County
From Spencer County, KY 55 runs northeast into Shelby County. The route runs through open fields with occasional houses lining the road. 2.184 mi into Shelby County, KY 55 intersects with KY 148 and enters the community of Finchville. In Finchville the route is lined with houses and a few businesses, and the speed limited is reduced to 35 MPH. After meeting the eastern terminus of KY 1848, KY 55 leaves Finchville and heads north toward Shelbyville. In Shelbyville, KY 55 crosses Interstate 64 at Exit 32. Currently, KY 55 widens to a 4 lane divided highway with a center turning lane a few tenths of a mile north of the Interstate. North of I-64, many businesses line KY 55 as well as 3 industrial parks. 1.7 mi north of the interstate, KY 55 intersects with US 60 / KY 55 Business and becomes the Shelbyville Bypass (Freedom's Way). The Shelbyville Bypass opened up in November 2010, and is a 4.5 mile 4-lane divided highway. The Shelbyville Bypass runs north then curves east, crossing KY 53 near Shelby County West Middle School. The route continues east, crossing over Clear Creek and ends north of Shelbyville at an intersection with KY 55 Business. North of the Shelbyville Bypass, KY 55 becomes Eminence Pike and narrows to two-lanes as it heads north passing open fields and houses before entering into Henry County roughly 8 mi further north. Alternatively, the business district within city limits of Shelbyville provides an alternative to taking the bypass. Running concurrently with US60 East (US60East; Main Sreet; KY Route 55 North) through Shelbyville, KY Route 55X can be picked up just a few miles later and just a mile or so south of the terminus of the KY 55 Bypass. In Henry County, KY 55 enters the city of Eminence and forms a concurrency with KY 22 for 0.1 mi. It continues north out of town and forms a concurrency with US 421 3 mi north of KY 22. After passing by Henry County High School and traveling through New Castle, US 421 and KY 55 split in Campbellsburg. Roughly 2.5 mi north of US 421, KY 55 passes over Interstate 71 and enters into Trimble County, where it travels for a short distance. The route intersects KY 316 at its eastern terminus and continues northward into Carroll County just over 1 mi from the Trimble County-Henry County line.

In Carroll County, KY 55 curves toward the northeast, passing KY 549 and KY 389 in rural sections of the county. After the intersection with KY 389, the route turns toward the northwest and travels along the Kentucky River on the east, with mainly woods on the west. As it nears Presntonville, KY 55 turns toward the west, then northeast, then north at New Castle Pike. In Prestonville, it passes by a few homes before it ends at an intersection with US 42/KY 36, just west of the Kentucky River and south of the Ohio River. The entire route remains two-lanes throughout Henry, Trimble, and Carroll counties.

Columbia business route
Kentucky Route 55 Business (KY 55 Business) is a business route of KY 55 in Columbia. The highway runs 3.025 mi between junctions with KY 6177/KY 55 south of Columbia and KY 55 north of Columbia. The route runs north from its southern terminus and passes over the Louie B. Nunn Cumberland Parkway as it enters Columbia. 0.934 mi from KY 55 south of Columbia, the route forms a concurrency with KY 80 and turns northwest as it passes through the heart of town. At an intersection with KY 80 and KY 439, it turns toward the north. KY 55 Business intersects KY 206 as it continues its northward path out of Columbia. A little over 1 mi north of KY 206, KY 55 Business ends at an intersection with KY 55 (Columbia Bypass).

Lebanon spur
Kentucky Route 55 Spur (KY 55 Spur) in Lebanon is 0.255 mi long and connects KY 55 to US 68 in the heart of downtown Lebanon.

Shelbyville business route
Kentucky Route 55 Business (KY 55 Business) is a business route of KY 55 in Shelbyville. The highway runs 5.150 mi between junctions with US 60/KY 55 west of Shelbyville and KY 55 north of Shelbyville. The route was formed in 2010 with the completion of the Shelbyville Bypass (Freedom's Way), which re-routed KY 55 around Shelbyville. The old route that passed through Shelbyville became KY 55 Business. For the first 3.074 miles, the route forms a concurrency with US 60 and is a four-lane highway. From its origin, it passes through a commercial area of Shelbyville with many businesses and shopping centers lining the roadway. Roughly 1.3 mi from its origin, KY 55 Business splits into two one-way routes, Main Street going west to east, and Washington Street going east to west. Here it also forms a concurrency with KY 53. The route passes through downtown Shelbyville and the one-way routes join just east of downtown. The route then departs with US 60 and KY 53 and turns north and becomes a two-lane highway, passing by multiple businesses and subdivisions. After intersecting KY 43 and KY 2268, it continues north for roughly 0.8 mi before ending at KY 55 north of Shelbyville.

Cholly Atkins

Charles "Cholly" Atkins (born Charles Sylvan Atkinson; September 13, 1913 – April 19, 2003) was an American dancer and vaudeville performer, who later became noted as the house choreographer for the various artists on the label Motown.

Biography
Born in Pratt City, Alabama, Cholly began dancing in the late 1930s before his military service in 1942 during World War II. Upon leaving the U.S. Army, he first found fame as one-half of Atkins & Coles, a top vaudeville dance act with partner Charles "Honi" Coles, debuting at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York. Atkins and Coles toured extensively nationally and internationally, performing in showcases with major jazz and swing bands, including those led by Louis Armstrong, Charlie Barnet, Count Basie, Cab Calloway, and Lionel Hampton. The pair also performed from 1949 to 1952 on Broadway in the stage 4 production, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

In the mid-1950s, Cholly began teaching dance steps to the Cadillacs, Shirelles, Moonglows, Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers, Little Anthony & The Imperials, and other vocal groups. His dance steps were a new style coined "vocal choreography", as singers enhanced their vocal performances with stylish combinations of gestures and steps. After working as a freelance choreographer in 1962 for The Miracles, Atkins was hired by Berry Gordy to work as a Motown choreographer in 1964, and set about developing the routines that would later become the trademark moves of other Motown acts like The Supremes, The Temptations (Atkins was also featured in the video for their hit single "Lady Soul"), The Four Tops, The Marvelettes, Gladys Knight & the Pips and others. Atkins would, in fact, continue working with Motown artists well into the 1980s. He choreographed for non-Motown artists as well, namely the dance routines of The Cadillacs in the 1950s, and the Sylvers, as well as The O'Jays during the mid-1970s, appearing with them on an episode of Soul Train. He also worked with Detroit rock band DC Drive and is featured in the "You Need Love" video.

In 1989, Atkins received a Tony Award for choreographing the Broadway show Black and Blue. He also accepted a 1993 National Endowment for the Arts three-year fellowship to tour colleges and universities teaching vocal choreography. He continued to teach dance in Las Vegas until February 2003.

Death
Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March 2003, Atkins died of the cancer several weeks later on April 19, 2003, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was 89.

User:Satyadasa/Sarmad

Hazrat Sa'id Sarmad (Persian حضرت سعيد سرمد)

سرمد sarmad, his assumed name, means eternity in Arabic. His given name is unknown.

When Sarmad replied, he uttered only the first two words, لا إله lā 'ilaha, meaning "there is no god" and explained, to the scholars' annoyance, that as he was in a state of negation (a Sufi concept), if he were to recite the full shahadah he would be lying. Aurangzeb's scholars found this sufficient for a charge of blasphemy and sentenced Sarmad to death when he would not repent.

Lancaster Theological Seminary

Lancaster Theological Seminary is a seminary of the United Church of Christ in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1825 by members of the German Reformed Church in the United States to provide theological education for prospective clergy and other church leaders.

19th century
After a failed attempt to open the school in Frederick, Maryland and another in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the school opened in Carlisle, Pennsylvania on the campus of Dickinson College on March 11, 1825, with a class of five students. Later lectures were held in the "old Reformed Church of Carlisle." At this time the seminary struggled financially and due to the fund raising campaign of James Ross Reily (1788–1884) the seminary was able to relocate to York in 1829. Here attendance averaged between 12 and 25 students.

In 1836–37, the seminary moved again to Mercersburg, Pennsylvania under the charter of Marshall College. Here the work of such celebrated professors as John Williamson Nevin, Friederich Augustus Rauch, and Philip Schaff gave rise to the Mercersburg theology, noted for its historic concerns for worship, sacraments, and Church in its ecumenical expressions.

In 1853, Marshall College moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, consolidating with Franklin College to form Franklin and Marshall College.

In 1871, the seminary moved to the campus of Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster. While viewed as a temporary arrangement, the present site of the seminary was not purchased until 1893. The buildings were completed and occupied in 1894.

20th century
For most of its history (109 of its 168 years), LTS was the sole seminary of the Reformed Church in the United States (German Reformed Church). With the formation of the Evangelical and Reformed Church in 1934, the seminary became one of three seminaries serving that newly united denomination.

LTS is currently one of seven seminaries holding full relationship with the UCC, a denomination formed in 1957 by the union of the E&R Church and most of the Congregational Christian Churches. Lancaster Theological Seminary is an official Open and affirming seminary.

Sanpaku

Sanpaku gan (三白眼;) or sanpaku (三白) is a Japanese term meaning "three whites", most often used in English to refer to a folk belief according to which the visibility of the sclera above or under the irises has various meanings as an omen or symptom in alternative medicine. It was introduced into English by George Ohsawa in the mid-1960s as a condition supposedly cured by his macrobiotic method.

History
According to traditional Chinese and Japanese face reading, the eye is composed of two parts, the yin (black, iris and pupil) and the yang (white, sclera). The visibility of the sclera beneath the iris is said to represent physical imbalance in the body, and is claimed to be present in alcoholics, drug addicts, and people who over-consume sugar or grain. Conversely, the visibility of the upper sclera is said to be an indication of mental imbalance in people such as psychotics, murderers, and anyone rageful. In either condition, it is believed that these people attract accidents and violence.

In August 1963, George Ohsawa, an advocate for macrobiotics, predicted that President John F. Kennedy would experience great danger because of his sanpaku condition.

In 1965, Ohsawa, assisted by William Dufty, wrote You Are All Sanpaku, which offers the following perspective on the condition: "For thousands of years, people of the Far East have been looking into each other's eyes for signs of this dreaded condition. Any sign of sanpaku meant that a man's entire system — physical, physiological and spiritual — was out of balance. He had committed sins against the order of the universe and he was therefore sick, unhappy, insane, what the West has come to call "accident prone". The condition of sanpaku is a warning, a sign from nature, that one's life is threatened by an early and tragic end."

According to Ohsawa, this condition could be treated by a macrobiotic diet emphasizing brown rice and soybeans.

1) correction needed in year section 1999

"She defeated tenth ranked Amanda Coetzer en route to the quarter finals"

should become

"She defeated tenth ranked Amanda Coetzer en route to the fourth round"

2) correction needed in last record tabular section under Records ("these records were attained in the Open Era of tennis)

August – November	2003	Most weeks at world #1 prior to winning first Grand Slam singles title (12)	Stands alone

should be removed

because

i) info is incorrect: "record" is in hands of Wozniacki who has been number one now since October 9th 2010 (hence more than 12 weeks)

ii) Record is dubious in itself and hardly adds any credit to a player who has won 4 slams and became number one at different times throughput her career

Big problem with the use of "The Williams sisters are widely recognized as dominating tennis since around the turn of the century"
First "widely" tends to be a weasel word we try to stay away from since it's tough to source. Also, dominance is very relative since the turn of the century (Jan, 1 2001). Venus Williams has been No. 1 for 11 weeks out of 1000 weeks of tennis. Year-end No.1... zero times. Serena has done much much better with 319 weeks at No. 1 out of about 1000 weeks, where Davenport and Henin were only 215 weeks combined. Serena Williams was WTA No. 15 different years, but 14 years she wasn't year-end No. 1. Henin was YE No.1 three years and retired as such. Davenport 3 years, Wozniacki 2 years and Halep 2 years. All since the turn of the century. Certainly Major titles look different. Venus won five this century (4 at Wimbledon and none for 12 years). She has NOT dominated since the turn of the century as the statement infers. Serena has won 22 majors this century and that IS impressive! This is out of 77 majors played. An argument can certainly be had for saying she is the most dominant player this century. Henin won 7 majors, Sharapova won 5 majors, Venus had 5 majors, Clijsters won 4, and bunches have two or three majors. The women's events have been far more open to different winner than the men's side of the aisle, where three or four have ruled the roost. I tried to change the wording to something softer but it was rejected. I'm open to something different than I chose but we have to be realistic when writing this paragraph.

 * I don't think the sources agree with you. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 08:47, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Leading tennis journalist Steve Tignor thinks this statement is so obvious he doesn't even try to argue it, saying in 2018 that, "It wasn’t until the end of the century, and the rise of Venus and Serena, that African-Americans came to dominate the sport." Source #1
 * The New York Times source used in the article already says, "For a sizable portion of nearly two transformative decades, one family surname has competitively dominated tennis and continually inundated its news." Source #2
 * In 2009, the Telegraph stated, "The joke doing the rounds is that WTA stands for the Williams Tennis Association. And, during the Wimbledon fortnight, you cannot argue with the supposition that one family runs the women's game." Source #3
 * Tennis.com has stated, "We haven't seen them play together in a while, but that doesn't change the fact that they were the most dominant doubles team in women's tennis history." Source #4
 * ESPN states, "The Williams sisters are the measure of the women's game". Source #5

 * Why might they think that? Individually since they began playing, the Williams sisters are No. 1 and No. 2 in three major career achievements: Grand Slam singles titles, total WTA singles titles, and total prize money. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 08:47, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Additionally, they have both won Olympic gold medals in women's singles (Venus in 2000, and Serena in 2012).
 * Beyond that, they also competed in 8 Grand Slam singles finals against each other, including a record four in a row in 2002 and 2003 (the next most frequent Grand Slam singles final encounter during that time was 4 between Serena and Maria Sharapova).
 * In general, they have been the most popular players on tour since they debuted (in the sense that they are the biggest draws in the sport both on TV and at tournaments, and they make the most money in endorsements).
 * And a big reason they have made such an impact is that they have outlasted all of their rivals, both playing 23+ years on tour, with Venus playing the most Grand Slam singles events in tennis history with 85.
 * If their singles accomplishments weren't enough, the Williams sisters have also been the best doubles team of the century.
 * Together, they have won 14 Grand Slam doubles titles. The next most won by a team in that same time frame was 8 by Virginia Ruano Pascual and Paola Suárez.
 * They have also won 3 Olympic gold medals together in women's doubles (in 2000, 2008, and 2012).
 * This is why Tennis magazine ranked the Williams sisters as the top two women's tennis players from this century in 2018 (Serena at No. 1, Venus at No. 8, and Henin was next at No. 9). You are welcome to disagree, but I think it's pretty clear just from the sources that they have been the most dominant women's tennis players since they began their careers.

 * The doubles means nothing in regards to the Clijsters rivalry. Zip. I can't believe you even brought it up. There is a big difference in top two from a magazine and domination for 19+ years. Huge. There is no question that Serena has had periods of dominance, but that is not the statement you want to include. And the statement by Tignor does not support your inclusion either since he is talking about African-American tennis players as a whole starting with Venus and Serena. Their longevity is simply amazing... that puts them in the same type of category as a Jimmy Connors... certainly nothing to sneeze at. I have always marveled at it. But Venus and Serena are two completely different players at two completely different levels. To lump them together and say they have dominated this entire century is like saying Serena and you have dominated this century in singles. Your totals together are the highest so it must be so. It's not fair to the other players like Henin who is much more accomplished then Venus this century. All I'm saying is turn down the rhetoric and keep it reasonable. Leave the wide domination statements to players like Lenglen and Wills. Perhaps more like "Serena Williams was the foremost tennis player in the world during Clijsters time on the WTA tour, and Serena's sister Venus was a five times major champion during that same period." Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:28, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It seems to me like you don't like this statement because you think it implies that Venus separated herself from Henin, or that Venus is on par with Serena. That's not what the statement means, nor is it what the sources mean when they call the Williams sisters dominant.
 * The situation is similar to the Big Four in men's tennis. Saying the Big Four have dominated men's tennis for nearly two decades doesn't imply that Andy Murray is at the same level as Federer, Nadal, or Djokovic. Nor does it imply that Murray has separated himself from all of the other players who aren't members of the Big Four. It simply implies that the media decided to group Murray with those other three players, and part of the reason the media established that group is because that group has dominated tennis for a really long time. The statement in question just implies that the media established the same type of group with the Williams sisters for the same types of reasons, i.e. that the Williams sisters' combined achievements have been dominant.
 * It isn't arbitrary to group the Williams sisters together. We have an article on the Big Four. We have an article on the Williams sisters. We don't have an article on Serena and me. The media determined that, not us. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 18:53, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Look, I don't think that domination statement should be there at all. I don't think it's accurate or encyclopedic. You want something there and we have a disagreement. There must be room for some compromise and it's why I have tried different wording. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:41, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I was going to leave your factual ranking by tennis.com but then I would have had to add another factual ranking by TBS in their ranking of both Henin and Davenport ahead of Venus. Venus didn't even make their list. I could have added many others but I don't think that's the place for water cooler rankings of Venus and Serena on Clijsters article. Perhaps if you put in just Serena Williams as a rival and left out Venus. Or perhaps make them separate entries? Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:42, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
 * And I'm not continuing to revert, I keep trying to add things to make it truthful. I still think it best to leave out water cooler fluff, but if if one side is going to be added then the obverse should be there also. Your call on that, I can add more and more if you like but I still think it best if all the rhetoric is removed and we simply state that the Williams sisters "collectively" were two of the top players during Clijsters time on court. We can make two entries if you'd like to enhance Serena's court prowess. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:01, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

I think the article is worse for it and that we should keep all the Williams-Henin-Sharapova tail-puffing to their own articles and not enter them in a Clijsters article. Especially when you link both Williams sisters records as a total of dominance... most readers won't know the split totals of those two players and may think Venus was greater than she was or Serena is worse than she was.

 * Another oddity. Under rivalries, Henin gets a heading... they played 25 times so that seems fair enough. The Williams sisters get a heading. Clijsters only played Serena 9x and Venus she played 13x. Not very many times for a rivalry but ok. Then we have Lindsay Davenport and Amélie Mauresmo under "other rivals." Davenport she played 17x and Mauresmo she played 15x. They should be listed each with full headings since we have Serena Williams and Venus Williams with less matches. Kind of a strange rivalry section to say the least. I brought Davenport up to speed on her dominance too. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:53, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

The top of the talk page even tells us "Kim Clijsters is a featured article; it (or a previous version of it) has been identified as one of the best articles produced by the Wikipedia community. Even so, if you can update or improve it, please do so." I have explained why it is wrong. And BR is a viable source since it's restructuring in 2010. The best source... no. I have have tried to get you to work out a compromise before we enter corrected data but you seem to be fighting this type of solution. Why? I can call in some third party dispute where they are likely to remove everything (since they won't be tennis editors) but I thought we could work out what is best for our readers.

I think the section is the only thing out of pov whack in the article. Hopefully we will get some input to help us out. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:22, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

 * If you don't want to say Venus was the second-best player of Clijsters's era, we could call her "one of the best players of her era and commonly ranked ahead of Clijsters". Sportsfan77777 (talk) 09:10, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
 * What does how Venus is described have to do with breaking up the rest of the rivalry section? Sportsfan77777 (talk) 09:10, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Now that is constructive. I have no issue with that wording of Venus at all. She was one of the best of her era and she is usually ranked above Clijsters. We are good with that issue. It's the combining of hers and Serena's stats that sounds weird and elevates Venus. And things like 19 years of domination are problematic. Why is it that the players Clijsters has played the most are lumped into "others" and why the unusual combining of Serena and Venus as her rivals? Just because they are sisters they can't have separate rival headings? Otherwise you could have Henin alone as her greatest rival and Serena and Venus stuffed in below the "others."

Townsend Coleman

Townsend Putnam Coleman III (born May 28, 1954) is an American voice actor who has performed in many animated series and TV commercials beginning in the early 1980s. Among his most notable roles are Michaelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Wayne Gretzky on ProStars, Jason Whittaker in Adventures in Odyssey and the title characters in Where's Wally? and The Tick.

Early life
Townsend Putnam Coleman III was born in New York City, New York, but his family relocated to Denver, Colorado in 1955.

Early work
Coleman was a disc jockey for WGCL in Cleveland, Ohio in the late 1970s. This included the weekend of July 7–8, 1979, when that radio station presented his own take on American Top 40 after the station's refusal to air the "Top 40 Disco Songs" special for that weekend.

In the same period, Coleman appeared in several plays through Jerry Leonard's Heights Youth Theater ensemble. The plays were staged at Wiley Junior High School in University Heights, Ohio – just down the road from John Carroll University. Other famous performers who appeared in Leonard's plays include the actress Carol Kane.

Shortly before becoming a voice actor, he hosted a pair of dance shows for local television stations: We're Dancin' at WNEW in New York City (now WNYW) and The Dance Show at WSB-TV in Atlanta.

Voice acting
Coleman's career as a voice actor took off in the 1980s when, having recently moved to Los Angeles, he auditioned for the role of Corporal Capeman on Inspector Gadget. He also portrayed Riot on Jem, Gobo in the animated version of Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock, Scott Howard on the animated Teen Wolf and many others. In TV commercials, he was the 7-Up "Spot", Keebler Elves, and Raid Bugs. Coleman has also been the voice of NBC commercials for programs such as Must See TV and The Tonight Show since the early 1990s. Coleman has also provided the voice for Jason Whittaker on the Focus on the Family radio drama Adventures in Odyssey since 1994. He also voiced the Autobot Mini-Cassette Rewind on the Transformers cartoon series (1986) and provided the voice of Colt in Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs.

From 1987 to 1996, Coleman voiced Michelangelo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Coleman also provided the voice for The Tick in the 1994 cartoon series, for which he received an Annie Award nomination. Coleman performed a wide range of voices in King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow, including Vizier Abdul Alhazred, Shamir Shamazel, Lord Azure, Ferryman, Beast and the Minotaur.

Coleman returned to the Transformers franchise by voicing Sentinel Prime in the Transformers Animated series. The character was designed to look like The Tick, as confirmed by the writers of the show at Botcon 2008, Coleman also currently provided the voice of Neddy the Mallet in the Cartoon Network series, Mighty Magiswords. Neddy's mannerisms on the show are based on The Tick which led to him being acquired the role. According to the creator Kyle Carrozza, Neddy was Townsend's first original cartoon role in years.

Recently, he also returned to the Tick franchise in the 2017 series on Amazon Prime, voicing the ex-superhero dog Midnight.

Emese

Emese (fl. 9th century CE) was the daughter of Duke Eunedubelianus (Őnedbelia) of Dentumoger, the consort of the noblest Scythian (i.e. from Dentumoger, Scythia) prince Ügyek, and the mother of High Prince Álmos in Hungarian historical mythology; thus, she was the ancestress of the Hungarian royal house of Árpád, the dynasty which founded the Hungarian Kingdom. Due to a lack of reliable source material, it is difficult to separate the legends concerning Emese from her actual role as an historical person.

According to tradition, she is the mother of the Magyar royal dynasty, which sprang from one of the seven original Magyar tribes. Hence, she has been credited as "the mother of all ethnic Hungarians".

Emese in legend
Emese's Dream, the legend concerning the conception of Prince Álmos, is one of the earliest known tales from Hungarian history. The legend can be tentatively dated to around 860-870, and with certainty to between 820 and 997 (the birth of Álmos and the acceptance of Christianity).

In the legend, Emese, the wife of Chief Ögyek (Ügek), was impregnated by a Turul bird. The Turul appeared to her in a dream and told her that from her womb a great river would begin, and flow out over strange lands. According to dream interpreters, this meant that she would give birth to a son who would lead his people out of their home in Levedia, and that her descendants would be glorious kings. Emese's son was named Álmos; his name derives from the Hungarian word álom, meaning dream, thus "Álmos" can be interpreted as "the Dreamt One".

The legend has several variants, namely regarding whether Emese was impregnated by the Turul bird or whether she was already pregnant at the time of her dream, and whether the bird appeared to her literally or in a dream while she was asleep. Some variations of the legend may have been introduced in the 19th century during the reemergence of Hungarian nationalism at that time.

"'In the 819th year of Our Lord's incarnation, Ügyek, who, as we said above, being of the family of King Magog became a long time later the most noble prince of Scythia, took to wife in Dentumoger the daughter of Duke Eunedubelianus, called Emese, from whom he sired a son, who was named Álmos. But he is called Álmos from a divine event, because when she was pregnant a divine vision appeared to his mother in a dream in the form of a falcon that, as if coming to her, impregnated her and made known to her that from her womb a torrent would come forth and from her loins glorious kings be generated, but that they would not increase in their land. Because, therefore, a dream is called 'álom' in the Hungarian language and his birth was predicted in a dream, so he was called Álmos. Or he is thus called Álmos, that is holy, because holy kings and dukes were born of his line.'"

"'Ügyek's son Előd, fathered a son by the daughter of Eunodubilia in Scythian land, whose name was Álmos, because a bird in the shape of a falcon appeared in his mother's dream when she was pregnant, a rushing stream sprang from her womb, it grew, but not in its own land, and from this it was prophesied that glorious kings would come from her loins. Because dream is 'álom' in our language, and the birth of that boy was prophesied by a dream, that's why he was called Álmos.'"

Emese in written sources
Emese is mentioned in two historical works: the Gesta Hungarorum and the Chronicon Pictum. Neither source is contemporary with Emese, as each was written centuries after her death (the Gesta around 1200 and the Chronicon Pictum in the 14th century). Both works freely intermingle actual historical events with legend and chivalric tales, so it is impossible to know if Emese is mentioned as legend or as an actual historical personage.

Interpretations
It is questionable which chronologically was the first text, since the 14th-century Chronincon Pictum preserved the text of several earlier works, including the presumed 11th-century primordial gesta (ősgeszta). Historian Bálint Hóman considered the latter work already contained the legend of Emese's dream, which was later adopted by several chronicles, including Anonymus. In contrast, György Györffy argued the Gesta Hungarorum provides a grammatically more complete and tidy story about Emese's dream, while the historian also highlighted the text corruption regarding the name of Eunedubelianus ("Eunodbilia") in the Chronicon Pictum. Györffy claimed that Anonymus created the name of Eunedubelianus from Enech, Dula and Belar – characters of the legend of the wondrous hind. Gyula Kristó and many scholars accepted Györffy's consideration. Opposing this viewpoint, philologist János Horváth, Jr. argued the primordial gesta influenced Anonymus' work. Accordingly, "Emese's dream, although stripped of its pagan and totemistic character, could still be included in the oldest written source, which Anonymus logically adds, but the chronicle confuses it precisely by using Anonymus' addition". Dezső Dümmerth argued that the order of the ancient, more logical dream narration was preserved in the chronicles: Anonymus wrote in a more pleasing style, but he messed up a text in which there was a memory of shamanic divination.

György Szabados highlighted that the name of Emese appears in only the Gesta Hungarorum, while the chronicle variants refer to her simply as "the daughter of Eunodbilia". Literary historian Géza Szentmártoni Szabó claimed the names appearing in the dream are actually symbols, forms of manifestation of totemic animals (Eleud = Ölyűd, "buzzard"; Eunodbilia = Ünődbéli → ünő, "deer cow" or "doe"). Szabó argued Anonymus made the word "emesu" a personal name due to a misunderstanding. According to him, the word emes, i.e. émés, in the form émést, was probably formed from the verb émik, which in the Old Hungarian language meant a half-awake, half-ecstatic state during vigil, when the boundaries between dream and reality are blurred. In his 16th-century world chronicle, Lutheran pastor István Székely was the first to publish the "Turul dream" in Hungarian in this context. György Szabados accepted Szabó's theory. He argued the primordial gesta contained the Turul legend, and the text "ex filia Eunodbilia" can be translated as "the woman from the gens Eunod or Ünőd". Later, Anonymus mistakenly invented the name Emese and masculinized the phrase "Eunodbilia" to create the name of the chieftain of Dentumoger. Tibor Szőcs argued that the Hungarian word ímés or émés is mentioned in István Székely's 1559 book is an example of a hapax legomenon. Linguist László Balogh read the chieftain's name as an adjective "Yunedubelia" and translated it as "from the tribe Jenő".

Emese's dream functions as the origin myth of the Árpád dynasty. Beside the "Turul legend", the chronicle tradition also states that Álmos descended "from the line" of Attila the Hun. The 13th-century chronicler Simon of Kéza writes King Attila's coat of arms, which he used on his own shield, depicted a bird with a crown, which is called "Turul" in Hungarian, and also states that Álmos was "of the Turul kindred". The historiography is divided on whether the two origin stories are compatible with each other. According to French historian Amédée Thierry, the Turul was the symbol of Attila and described Álmos as the "reincarnation" of the Hunnic ruler. Dezső Dümmerth also connected the Turul legend with the sacredness of Attila. In contrast, János Horváth, Jr. emphasized contradictions between Emese's dream and the "Attilid tradition". According to him, the "real miraculous (totemistic pagan) element of the legend would be fertilization from the Turul; however, according to the narration of our gestas, Emes [Emese] only dreams of it, and even in a blessed state. The fetus (Álmos) only gets its name from this wonderful dream vision, but it itself was conceived by a mundane father, Ügyek. The miraculous fact of the story is therefore reduced to a simple dream, and with it the pagan stamp is also removed". Horváth claimed the content of the Turul legend was deliberately withered and subordinated to the "Attila genealogy", since the "fertilizing" role of the Turul would have been synonymous with the end of the Hunnic ruler's bloodline. György Györffy and Gyula Kristó shared similar viewpoints. Györffy claimed that Emese's story is mere a literary borrowing from Anonymus by adopting the origin myth of Cyrus the Great, denying its nature of an ancient Hungarian tradition. Ethnographer István Pál Demény rejected this view and listed many differences between the two myths. Szabados argued the awareness of the descent of the Árpád dynasty from Attila and the legend of Emese's dream are not two mutually exclusive origin stories, but two complementary elements of a single tradition: the first Hungarian ruling house's own authentic heritage.

Emese's story has close analogies in the nomadic, steppe environment. Notably, in The Secret History of the Mongols, it is reported that Genghis Khan's mother-in-law had a dream that a white falcon ("holding the Sun and the Moon its claws" —the Turul was often depicted as the sun ) flew down from the sky and lit on her hand, thus predicting the birth of a child and of the royal dynasty. This is due to the fact that falcons were associated with fertility. Falcons "populate many legends of the foundation of dynasties and empires"; they are popular in the traditions and symbolism of the steppe people, and are not exclusive or originary of any specific ethnic group living therein. 19th-century historian Arnold Ipolyi cited Shahnameh's Simurgh as a similar example regarding its role at the birth of Rostam. Historians Gyula Kristó and Victor Spinei wrote that Emese's story initially narrated the origin of Álmos's dynasty from a totemic ancestor. Accordingly, Anonymus deliberately transformed this pagan story into a Christianized form. György Szabados emphasized that the Turul is mentioned as occurring in a dream of Emese, when she was already pregnant, while former historiography interpreted this as "impregnation" after Dezső Pais and Dezső Dümmerth made mistranslations. László Geréb provided the correct sentence: "a vulture-shaped bird appeared in her [Emese's] dream when she was pregnant". Szabados cited the 7th-century Chronicle of Fredegar, which implies that the Merovingians were descended from a sea-beast called a quinotaur, thus the Hungarian chronicler had no reason to introduce a Christian line into a legend of steppe tradition. György Szabados revived the story of Māhāmāyā of Shakya, to whom a white elephant appeared in a dream before the Buddha was born, while István Pál Demény mentioned similar stories from the faith of Native Americans. Consequently both historians rejected the nomadic and steppe nature of the Turul legend, and assumed a much more ancient folkloristic tradition that can be traced back to the dawn of humanity.

Name
Emese is also a feminine Hungarian name. According to linguist Dezső Pais, its meaning is mother or breastfeeder. Emese means "little mother" in ancient Hungarian. It derives from "eme", mother, and the agglutinating "[s]e", which stands for "little". Its root is Finno-Ugric, c.f. Finnish emä, from Proto-Finnic *emä, from Proto-Uralic *emä, and Hungarian anya, from Proto-Uralic *ańa. Cognates of emä include Estonian ema, Northern Sami eapmi ("pistil"), and Nganasan немы (ńemy). However, as linguist Loránd Benkő wrote, the word "emse" (=mother) first appears only 1681, so this can also be a retrospective identification attempt with the progenitress of the Árpád dynasty.

Rovers Return Inn

The Rovers Return Inn is a fictional public house in the long-running British soap opera Coronation Street.

The Rovers Return occupies a corner of the fictional Coronation Street and Rosamund Street set location in the show. The pub was constructed by the fictional brewery Newton and Ridley.

The name comes from the Ye Olde Rovers Return in Withy Grove, Manchester, a 14th-century building that operated as a licensed public house but ceased to be so in 1924 and was demolished in 1958.

The fictional pub has had three in-universe layouts. The original layout generally consisted of the style of a public bar. The fictional pub was later destroyed after a fire, caused by character Jack Duckworth. Later, the original layout was replaced by a single bar, until once again, being destroyed by a fire.

History
The Rover's Return Inn opened in 1902 on the newly built Coronation Street (1902 being Coronation year for Edward VII). It was originally to be called The Coronation, but the brewery was forced to change the name as the go-ahead had already been given for the street to be named Coronation Street. When Lieutenant Philip Ridley returned from active service in the Boer War, the pub was named in his honour.

Originally, the pub was divided into three separate bars: the public bar, the snug (usually inhabited by unaccompanied ladies, where drinks were half a penny cheaper), and the select (where drinks were pricier but were served by a waitress). As late as 1960, the ruling in the pub was that ladies were not allowed to remain at the bar after being served. These archaic rules were dropped soon afterwards. When the pub was damaged by an accidental fire in 1986, the three bars were knocked into one large room.

The living quarters downstairs bear no resemblance to the exterior set of the pub. In reality, the living room (the "backroom") would be in the middle of the street at the side of the pub, outside the medical centre. Since 2008, viewers have seen scenes in a kitchen/dining room in the upstairs of the pub (for use by the licensee/residents), although no other characters had ever used or referred to this room previously. A mock-up of the snug was a feature of the Granada Studios Tour.

The set's exterior doors are narrower than the doors on the interior set. This has always been the case as the exterior set is reduced in scale.

In early 2008, the Rovers Return was redecorated, giving it a fresh look more than 20 years after the refurbishment that followed the fire of 1986. It received new wallpaper, re-upholstered seating, new flooring, and new light fittings. A smoking shelter was built, reflecting the recent introduction of a national ban on smoking in enclosed public places, which is accessed by a new door in the main pub area.

Since that makeover in February 2008, the wallpaper was changed again in October 2008, making its on-screen debut on 17 October 2008. The producers were dissatisfied with the choice of wallpaper in February 2008. The new wallpaper is similar to the wallpaper used after the 1986 fire, which hung in The Rovers for 22 years.

The change of décor in February 2008 was a storyline in the show, in which Liz McDonald's (Beverley Callard) husband Vernon Tomlin (Ian Reddington) hired friends to redecorate. The new look of The Rovers in October 2008 was not explained in the story. A few weeks later, Emily Bishop (Eileen Derbyshire) commented to Jed Stone (Kenneth Cope) that the local pub had "recently" been redecorated.

Justin flees the scene but is later arrested after Daisy confronts him in Weatherfield General's car park and alerts the police.
 * 29 March 2024: Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger) is left alone to run a speed dating night in the pub after Jenny and Daisy make plans that coincide with the night.

Martha's death (1964)
Episode 357, transmitted: 13 May 1964

In 1964, the producership of Coronation Street was handed to the young and enthusiastic Tim Aspinall. He immediately began to implement changes. Since it had been fully networked across the various ITV regions in 1960, Coronation Street had never been out of the top ten ratings of the week (that continues 61 years on). However, competition came from the BBC (there were only two channels in those days, BBC Television and ITV – BBC 2 was to follow later that year). The BBC placed their most popular comedy series Steptoe and Son opposite the programme. In the pre-video recorder days, viewers were forced to choose what to watch, and, as a consequence, Coronation Street began to lose the ratings. It was decided, by Aspinall, that several "blockbuster" storylines would have to be staged, the most radical being the death of Martha Longhurst (Lynne Carol).

Despite being a nosy old gossip and, in the Mancunian dialect of the show was "... no better than she should be....", Martha was a highly popular character; thus, she was chosen to be killed off in a highly cynical bid to boost the ratings.

On the night of her death, the credits rolled in silence for the very first time (something that would later become the norm whenever a character was "killed off"), with the rooftop scene replaced by a close up of the snug table that contained a sherry glass, a passport and Martha's famous NHS spectacles.

Lorry crash (1979)
Episode 1893, transmitted: 7 March 1979

Deirdre Langton (Anne Kirkbride) wheeled her young daughter Tracy (Christabel Finch) down to The Rovers in her pram. She was to see Annie Walker (Doris Speed) with regards to a knitting pattern. Knowing Annie's strict rules concerning children on licensed premises, Tracy was left outside in her pushchair.

No more than two minutes had passed as Deirdre and Annie spoke in the back room. Suddenly, their conversation was halted by the screeching of brakes followed by a terrible crash, which shook the pub. Annie froze but Deirdre rushed through the pub and outside where she had left Tracy. In that very spot was a 6-foot pile of timber. Accompanying the pile was a lorry, turned on its side and smoking from the crash.

Inside the pub, Alf Roberts (Bryan Mosley) had been sitting with friend, Len Fairclough (Peter Adamson) in front of the window. Alf lay unconscious as Len, whose own arm was broken, desperately tried to help him.

The story concluded when Tracy was found not to be under the timber but had been snatched away moments before the pub was hit. The snatcher was a crazed young woman called Sally Norton (Yvonne Nicholson) who had become obsessed with Tracy. Mother and daughter were reunited later by the canal as Tracy was rushed into the arms of Deirdre. For Alf, the scars remained, and he underwent a personality change months after he returned from the hospital.

Fire (1986)
Episode 2631, Transmitted: 18 June 1986

During a sing-along night, when the guests stood around the piano, the lights in the pub had been flickering and cutting out all night. Much to the frustration of Bet Lynch (Julie Goodyear) and the rest of the punters. Jack Duckworth (Bill Tarmey), potman at the time, decided to fix the problem. Upon return, he was graciously thanked for solving the problem. However, he had replaced the fuse with a far stronger one, leaving the problem of a potential explosion. Bet retired to bed that night, having locked up. In the middle of the night, the inevitable happened, and the fuse caught fire. This scene was shown at the end of the previous episode, Episode 2630 on 16 June 1986.

Inside, Bet had finally woken up and raced out of her bedroom to attempt to escape, only to find her exit down the stairs blocked by flames that leapt up at her from the hallway. She released a blood-curdling scream and ran back into the bedroom, fearing for her life, and collapsed unconscious, overcome from the smoke, before she could reach the window. Julie Goodyear later revealed that her nightdress, supposedly fire-proofed, had, in fact, caught fire during filming of the scene, and she was in genuine danger. She said in the 2010 documentary "Coronation Street - 50 Years, 50 Moments" that "the scream at the top of the stairs was for real. I was terrified."

Kevin climbed up the ladder and arrived at the window, using a brick to smash and then open it. Shouting to the rest of the residents that he could see Bet, he climbed in. Down below, the front windows of the pub exploded out into the Street, sending shocked residents screaming and running. As Kevin dragged Bet to the window, the Fire Brigade arrived to take over.

The fire was quickly extinguished, but the Rovers was completely destroyed, and the cause was quickly identified as an electrical fault after an examination of the ruined fuse box. Breaking with convention, the episode ended not with Bet fighting for her life, which would have been the usual soap opera cliché, but the pub itself, which Newton and Ridley thought was not worth saving and initially intended to demolish. Once the Rovers was renovated and refurbished, however, Bet pinned an electrician's number up on the board telling Jack to call upon the services of a professional, as they had the Rovers back and she intended on keeping it.

Ray Langton's death (2005)
In 2005, Ray Langton (Neville Buswell) returned to Coronation Street, where he died of stomach cancer. His death was the second death in the history of Coronation Street to take place inside The Rovers.

Dylan Wilson's birth (2008)
In February 2008, barmaid Violet Wilson (Jenny Platt) gave birth in the pub to Dylan who was fathered by gay barman Sean Tully (Antony Cotton). Landlady Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard), Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) and Vernon Tomlin (Ian Reddington) were present at the birth. Sean's boyfriend, Marcus Dent (Charlie Condou), delivered the baby.

Cellar (2008)
Episode 6834, Transmitted: 6 June 2008

In June 2008, Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) and Dan Mason (Matthew Crompton) became engaged in a petty feud. Steve believed that Dan scratched his car (the real culprit was Norris Cole (Malcolm Hebden) ), which resulted in Steve stealing Dan's mobile phone. At closing time, Dan went to the pub to confront Steve. He ended up hitting Steve by accident. Steve then struck Dan with a crate and threw the mobile down the cellar stairs. When Dan went to retrieve it, Steve locked him in the cellar. Dan, suffering pain from the blow of the crate, fell over in agony on the stairs. Steve, however, had already left and did not hear his shouts for help. The next day, Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh) found Dan and he was rushed to hospital. Steve was arrested for attempted murder and unlawful imprisonment.

Fire (2013)
On 18 March 2013, Karl Munro (John Michie) set fire to the pub's cellar to frame Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas) but was caught by Sunita Alahan (Shobna Gulati) who was knocked unconscious by Karl when he fled to the Bistro to do his "Full Monty" act. Norris Cole (Malcolm Hebden) and Emily Bishop (Eileen Derbyshire) came into the restaurant to tell everyone about the fire, and Karl discovered Stella was upstairs in one of the pub's bedrooms, so he went back in to save her. As he got to her, the stairs collapsed, trapping them. Luckily Paul Kershaw (Tony Hirst) managed to get to them and got Stella out while his friend and fellow firefighter Toni Griffiths (Tara Moran) got Karl out before the roof collapsed on top of her and killed her. Shortly afterwards the fire brigade arrived, put out the fire and were able to get Sunita out. The fire caused significant damage and caused financial problems for Stella meaning that she could not afford to hire Owen Armstrong (Ian Puleston-Davies) to do the refurb but after a failed attempt of offering Owen half the pub in exchange for the refurb, Stella's mother Gloria (Sue Johnston) paid him the £80,000 required to complete the work. Sunita was in a coma for a while and was killed by Karl when she began to recover. The Rovers re-opened on 26 May 2013.

Interior set
The Rovers Return set features walls and windows that can be removed to allow filming from different angles. There is a painted backdrop which looks over to the Metcalfes' house, Audrey's salon and the flat above the salon.

References in Popular Culture
In a 2001 episode of podcast, Something Rhymes with Purple, 'Torquemada', Susie Dent and Gyles Brandreth discuss cryptic crosswords. One clue is: "Bar of Soap." The answer is the Rovers Return, because this is a bar, within (or 'of') a soap (this soap being Coronation Street).

Desouk

Desouk (دسوق, ) is a city in northern Egypt. Located 80 km east of Alexandria, in the Kafr El Sheikh Governorate and had a population of 137,660 inhabitants as of 2011. It is bordered to the west by the Beheira Governorate.

Desouk dates back to at least c. 3200 BC and was part of the ancient city of Buto before the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt. From 1250 to 1517, the city of Desouk was part of the Gharbia province. From 1798 to 1801, it was part of the now-defunct Rosetta province.

Etymology
The city's name could be derived from tꜣ-sbk, attested on a statuette from Sais dating to the Third Intermediate Period, through *ⲧⲉⲥⲟⲩⲭⲓ, or from tꜣ-ı͗ꜣ.t-sbk, attested in Greek as Thasoukhios (Θασουχιος) and Tasoukis (Τασουκις). The cult of Sobek had presence to the west of Disuq, on the other side of the Nile.

Other proposal derives it from the rare Arabic verb dasaqa "to overflow (about a basin)" and its nominal form daysaq "bassin full of water" which in turn has its origin in δίσκος, but it is considered implausible. Another improbable etymology is a Copto-Arabic word combining the Coptic feminine definite article ti- (ϯ-) with سوق.

Overview
Desouk is a member of the Organization of Islamic Capitals and Cities due to the location of important Islamic shrines in the city, such as the tomb of Egyptian Sufi Saint Ibrahim El Desouki, which is located in the main mosque in the center of Desouk.

Desouk lies on the Nile, on the eastern banks of the Rosetta branch, where there are only two bridges entering the city.

Many important Egyptians hail from Desouk: Youssef El-Mansy, Ahmed Zewail, Mohammed Roshdy, Evelyn Ashamallah, and Abdel-Salam Mohammed Nasar, a politician in the city.

Climate
Köppen-Geiger climate classification system classifies its climate as hot desert (BWh), the same as the rest of Egypt.

Tourism
Desouk is renowned for the presence of Ibrahim El Desouki Mosque, which attracts over a million visitors annually on average. The mosque is the final resting place of the last Sufi pole, Imam Ibrahim El Desouki, established around the year 1277. It currently covers an area of 6400 square meters, and the Ladies' Mosque occupies 600 square meters, making it one of the largest mosques in the Islamic world in terms of area. It houses a university Islamic library as well. In Desouk, an annual celebration is held for the birth of Ibrahim El-Desouki in October, lasting a week with strict security measures. The celebration honors the memory of 77 Sufi orders from various parts of the world. During this time, the city attracts more than a million visitors from various provinces of Egypt and some countries worldwide, making it one of the largest religious celebrations in Egypt. Among the festivities, the custodian of the Ibrahim El-Desouki shrine rides a horse and is paraded through the streets of Desouk after the afternoon prayer on the final day of the celebration. Additionally, an annual celebration of Ragabiya is held in late April or early May each year, lasting for a week as well.

There are numerous Pharaonic artifacts in the ancient city of Buto, which served as the political capital of the Lower Egypt. Its construction dates back to the Predynastic period, and it is located northeast of Desouk, about 12 km away. Buto was a significant religious center where every king or prince, upon ascending to rule, was required to go to Buto to legitimize their rule by the priests. This was done for worship and to draw closer to the goddess Wadjet, the Lady of the City, a central figure in the Egyptian myth of Isis and Osiris.

The area is characterized by several artifacts, some dating back to the Predynastic period, such as the Wadjet Temple, Horus Statue, and the double statue of the goddess Sekhmet and King Ramesses II, among many other artifacts. Locally, the region is known as "Tall Al-Fara'in," named after the founding pharaohs. It spans an area of 175 acres (0.7 km²).

Ď

The grapheme Ď (minuscule: ď) is a letter in the Czech and Slovak alphabets used to denote, the voiced palatal plosive (precisely alveolo-palatal), a sound similar to British English d in dew. It was also used in Polabian. The majuscule of the letter (Ď) is formed from Latin D with the addition of a háček; the minuscule of the letter (ď) has a háček modified to an apostrophe-like stroke instead of a wedge. When collating, Ď is placed right after regular D in the alphabet.

Ď is also used to represent uppercase eth in the coat of arms of Shetland although the standard uppercase form of eth is Ð.

Encoding
In Unicode, the letters are encoded at and.

As recorded by the Unicode Consortium, the form of the minuscule letter preferred for typesetting is "d with a curved apostrophe" (rather than "d with a caron diacritic").
