Talk:Stars (Canadian band)

Breakthrough Single
Elevator Love Letter was released first with some popularity.
 * in fact, it could be argued that "Elevator Love Letter" is easily their best known and loved song. This should be noted, and I'll do so if someone hasn't in the near future.

Discography
So I've gone through and fixed the discography so it flows a little bit, but there are still a few problems: If anyone is a Stars expert, please help! tiZom(2¢) 06:06, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) There are a lot of blanks to fill, including producers, etc.
 * 2) Some of the Cover art is bad quality - feel free to replace.
 * 3) The album "Stars Are Out Tonight" is completely missing. I can't find a single bit of information on it, just the cover art on www.legrandmagistery.com
 * With regard to "The Stars Are Out Tonight" - the website notes the EP is on vinyl only, and the cover art is highly similar to the "A Lot of Little Lies for the Sake of One Big Truth" EP that they have available on iTunes. It looks like they subbed two of the tracks though - live versions of "On Peak Hill" and "Going, Going, Gone" instead of "This Charming Man" and "My Radio (AM Mix)" on the vinyl - seems like the missing album is a Canada-only release that ended up being revised for the U.S. market buzz, leading to the Nightsongs LP... - JYS, 1 Sept 06 07:56 UTC
 * Discrepancy: The article mentions "their 2004 album Set Yourself on Fire", while the discography lists Set Yourself on Fire (2005). I'm not well-versed enough in this stuff to know where to look for an authoritative source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.15.164.62 (talk • contribs)

Fixed. Thanks for making me aware. The confusion came about due to a difference in release dates in Canada and the US. Whenever possible, I believe we go for the earliest release dates. Therefore, I've switched it so it all says 2004. This article still needs help per the above comment. tiZom(2¢) 21:54, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I've gone through adding all the singles that were missing to the list, and adjusted every release to reflect the record label who released it. While City Slang releases all their new records in Europe, Arts & Crafts released them first. I made one special note where Nightsongs was released on an alternate format (Vinyl LP) by a different label with bonus tracks. I don't really know how to develop new pages for each release, but if somebody feels more comfortable creating those kinds of pages and would like to get us started, I'd be happy to continue contributing. - 60watt (talk • contribs)

Ah, thanks so much for your input! I went ahead and turned your info into a chart to make everything easier to read, and then I created the following pages for each of the singles: I created these pages with the bare minimum amount of information. You seem to know your Stars, so go ahead and add as much information as you can. Make sure that you specifically add information that makes each single special — that way we're sure to pass WP's Notability guidelines. Also, try to fill out those Single Infoboxes...like I said, I don't have too much information on these. If you have any questions, just let me know. :o) tiZom(2¢) 07:25, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The Stars are Out Tonight
 * My Radio
 * Elevator Love Letter
 * Petite Mort
 * Ageless Beauty
 * Your Ex-Lover Is Dead
 * It's Alchemy!
 * Thanks so much! It looks great. I'll start compiling the info for the individual releases. Again, it looks fantastic. 60watt (talk • contribs)
 * I have since added the Reunion digital single that was available on 7digital and nowhere else from what I can tell...and I've scoured the internet and posted on the Stars forum only to be given no additional information regarding other releases. 60watt 21:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it appears that there is a possibility of the Reunion single being released on vinyl. However, nobody on the Stars forum has come forward as an owner of a genuine copy. Once I have confirmation in either direction, I'll make not of that here.60watt 18:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

 * What about the album "Do You Trust Your Friends?", where friend-bands of Stars made remixes of the songs on "Set Yourself On Fire"? I'm not sure if this would be the right place to put it, but i didn't see it anywhere else. Sorry if I'm just being an idiot! HelloxLife (talk) 01:01, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Indie rock -> Indie pop
If a distinction is made between Indie rock and Indie pop, I'd say Stars are closer to Indie pop. -Their production/sound seems more Pop than normal Indie Rock -AMG lists "Indie Pop" in their Styles and does not include "Indie Rock" (link) --Dkordik 11:07, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd call them a classic borderline case, and somebody will probably revert that down the road. For the record, RS calls them indie rock and Pitchfork a "pop band that sounds best on a rock equalizer setting" . --Dhartung | Talk 02:19, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Cover Art
There is an alternate cover art for the set yourself on fire album (topless female(?) wearing a pink balaclava, holding a pink molotov cocktail). I am not sure if it is something that was done only in one country, or if it is just the vinyl release of the album, does anyone know anything about this?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.251.97.178 (talk • contribs).
 * It's the UK version. Sdalmonte 08:08, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

POV
I love the band too, but the lead paragraph of this article is unnecessarily complimentary. It needs to be fixed. --Masamage 19:29, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Things to do
I saw that someone made a Stars template, which is awesome. I'd like to contribute, as I love this band, but I don't know what might be good places to start from here. Perhaps a profile box? I don't know where a good place to find the proper template is, though. DamionOWA 09:18, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The template you are looking for is Infobox musical artist. Go ahead and put this code in the article, and start filling it out:

 * Let me know if you need any help! tiZom(2¢)  14:47, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! As you can see, I've filled it out. However, there are some difficulties I'm having, and I wanted to ask you before I changed the main article. I've been doing research by listening to interviews from old Morning Becomes Eclectic sets featuring Stars from 2000 and 2001 and found out interesting things about the band: Though all the members grew up in the same Toronto neighborhood, the band actually formed in New York before moving to Montreal. My problem is that I don't know how to cite audio broadcasts; there are no transcripts available because that's against that show's policy. Therefore, I haven't changed the opening paragraph (where it states the band was formed in Toronto) and won't until I can figure out a good tactic for it. Additionally, is it kosher to add lines to the Origins part of the infobox? The band is intrinsically Canadian, given as all the members are from Toronto and they've resided in Montreal since 2001. However, I filled out the factual New York City line under Origins. Perhaps I should add a second line underneath that for Montreal? DamionOWA 09:00, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * For the first question: Use.
 * For the second question: Yes, sometimes the info that you have won't fit nicely into the infobox you're given.  Your job then is to make it fit while getting your point across.  Do your best, and if someone doesn't like it down the road, then they'll change it :o)  tiZom(2¢)  22:25, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Some text copied from http://music.aol.ca/article/Stars-side/149/
It looks like some text, especially in the last paragraph of the 'Career' section has been copied from here:. Anybody volunteer to clean it up? -Paul1337 (talk) 14:14, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Are We Here Yet? (Stars Live)
There's no mention of the Stars Live DVD packaged with In Our Bedroom After The War, neither here nor on the page for the album.

DGrayson (talk) 06:24, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

External Links Clean Up
The external news and media links section is a mess of "me too" links. I propose they be referenced from the article or removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paperjunk (talk • contribs) 13:45, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed and removed. Editors can find the links in the article history if someone wants to work them in as references. Strobilus (talk) 14:51, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Residencia Aboy-Lompré

The Aboy-Lompré Residence (Spanish: Residencia Aboy-Lompré), also known as the Aboy House (Casa Aboy), is a historic house built in San Juan, Puerto Rico between 1910 and 1912 for the Aboy-Ferrer Family. The house now hosts several cultural and religious institutions including the Shaare Zedeck Synagogue and the Jewish Community Center of Puerto Rico, and a photojournalism museum.

Design and architecture
The design for Casa Aboy was the product of various architects, among them Antonin Nechodoma, a disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright. Nechodoma, who moved to Puerto Rico around 1905, used a tropical style of architecture which became popular in the island. Puerto Rican architect Miguel Ferrer and engineer Francisco Pons also worked on the property's design with the purpose of taking advantage of the north breezes and natural light of the location. Pons and Ferrer hired Frank B. Hatch, who had worked with Nechodoma, also put some of his ideas in the design of the house. Finally, Ramón Aboy Lompré made his own suggestions for the house, which he would inhabit.

The house entrance features an ample house-wide porch with two posts, typical of Nechodoma's style. The attic windows were altered to adorn the front of the house, and the tinted glass were bought on the Dominican Republic. Aside of the porch, it also features ornamental tiles, a double interior staircase, and the style of the roof are all Nechodoma's trademarks. However, unlike his style, the house features big rooms, and a wide hallway.

History
After its construction, the Aboy Residence was a common setting for social gatherings. The building on the original lot, which extended from the avenue in front to what is now Martí Street, no longer exists. Upon the death of the original owner, the lot was divided between his two sons who built twin residences there. However, in 1986, after a legal battle over the inheritance, the house was closed. Shortly after, Ramón Aboy died.

Today only the house built by Don Ramón Aboy remains. It has been declared part of Puerto Rico's "cultural heritage," and it houses the Federación de Foto Periodistas de Puerto Rico (Federation of Photojournalists of Puerto Rico). The Federation helped fund Ramón Aboy Miranda, a direct descendant of the original owner.

In 1989, the Aboy Residence was listed at the National Register of Historic Sites. The local government began the process of restoring it with the help of the Puerto Rican Institute of Culture, and Puerto Rico Legislative Assembly, among others. The house was reopened on May 5, 1994, for the purpose of free cultural activities. It also housed the Cultural Center Ramón Aboy Miranda, which is part of the Puerto Rican Institute of Culture.

The street that runs past the residence also carries the name of the Aboy family because it was constructed on the lands that belonged to them. Distinguished members of this family have included the aforementioned Ramón Aboy Miranda (accomplished Puerto Rican photojournalist); José Ferrer (actor and first Puerto Rican to win an Academy Award), and Carmen Aboy de Valldejuli (Puerto Rican cooking pioneer and author, with her husband Luis Valldejuli Duprey, of various Puerto Rican cookbooks).

Springburn

Springburn (Allt an Fhuairainn) is an inner-city district in the north of the Scottish city of Glasgow, made up of generally working-class households.

Springburn developed from a rural hamlet at the beginning of the 19th century. Its industrial expansion began with the establishment of a chemical works by Charles Tennant on the newly opened Monkland Canal at nearby St. Rollox in 1799, which later became part of the United Alkali Company.

Later in the 19th century, the construction of railway lines through the area led to the establishment of railway works and the village became a parish in its own right. The Garnkirk and Glasgow Railway first opened in 1831 to supply the St Rollox Chemical Works and the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway was opened in 1842. Later, the City Union Line was extended to Springburn in 1871, and the Hamiltonhill Branch Line opened in 1894.

Initially located outside the Glasgow boundary, the core area was eventually absorbed by the city in 1872 and other parts in 1891. In the early 21st century, it forms part of the Springburn/Robroyston ward under Glasgow City Council.

Industrial development
The area's economic development has a strong historical link to heavy industry, particularly railways, with the manufacturing of locomotives. In the past, Springburn's locomotive industry had a 25% global market share.

There were four main railway manufacturing sites that located in Springburn; the North British Railway's (NBR) Cowlairs Works in 1841, the Caledonian Railway's St Rollox Works in 1856, Neilson & Company's Hyde Park Works in 1861 and Sharp, Stewart & Company's Atlas Works in 1888. The latter two eventually amalgamated to become part of the North British Locomotive Company (NBL) in 1903. Also located in Springburn is the Eastfield Running Shed, originally built by the NBR near the Cowlairs Works in 1904.

St Rollox became the largest works, and is the only one still in existence, after the collapse of the NBL in 1962 and the closure of Cowlairs in 1968. In 2007 Railcare Limited, who also owned the Wolverton Works in Milton Keynes, took over operations at St Rollox, from Alstom, who had originally acquired the works from British Rail Engineering Limited in the wake of the railway privatisation. It closed in 2019. The former Eastfield Running Sheds are now operated as a maintenance depot by ScotRail and part of the former Cowlairs carriage sidings is now operated as a signalling and maintenance depot by Network Rail.

Another large industrial company that operated in Springburn was Promat UK, which manufactured Passive fire protection materials at the Germiston Works on Petershill Road. The site is now closed.

Springburn Park
The highest point in the district and in the City of Glasgow is Springburn Park on Balgrayhill, 364 ft above sea level. The park contains the Springburn Winter Gardens, which has lain derelict since 1983. Stobhill Hospital was later built adjacent to the park in 1904.

Barnhill Poorhouse
The Barnhill Poorhouse at Springburn opened in 1850. Paupers who could not support themselves were sent here by the Parish and were obliged to work at jobs such as bundling firewood, picking oakum (separating tarred rope fibres) and breaking rocks. In 1905 the Glasgow Poorhouse in Townhead closed and its inmates went to Barnhill, making it the largest poorhouse in Scotland. In 1945 it was renamed Foresthall Home and Hospital and was thereafter used as a geriatric hospital and residential home. It was demolished in the late 1980s and a private housing development now stands on the site.

Sport
Local football team Cowlairs were a founder member of the Scottish Football League in 1890 but were bankrupt by 1896. Another local team, Northern also played in the SFL for a single season in the 1890s. Petershill was founded in 1897 and continues to play today at New Petershill Park, a modern stadium with a 2,000 capacity, including a 562-seat stand.

Regeneration
Springburn continued to see expansion during the 20th century, with housing schemes such as Balornock being developed in the Interwar period, while those in Balgrayhill, Barmulloch (which also included one high-rise development at Birnie Court, part of the Red Road flats) and Sighthill being constructed post-WWII.

The old urban centre of Springburn was redeveloped from the early 1970s to the early 1980s. Selected as one of Glasgow's "Comprehensive Development Areas", Springburn saw the demolition of 85% of buildings in the district and the construction of a sequence of housing estates which transformed the area completely. A major dual carriageway, the A803 Springburn Expressway (originally designed to be the northern link to the aborted Glasgow Inner Ring Road) was completed in 1988.

The regeneration vision remained incomplete, and by the mid-1980s Springburn had become one of Glasgow's most notorious areas, exacerbated by decaying housing and lack of major employers to replace the decline in the railway industry, despite the creation of North Glasgow College (now Glasgow Kelvin College) at the former North British Locomotive Company headquarters in 1965. Since then, there has however been further efforts to regenerate the area.

More recently the area of Keppochhill Road, which links Springburn with Possilpark, has been regenerated through the work of the West of Scotland Housing Association Ltd, many of the Victorian sandstone tenement flats in Gourlay Street, Carlisle Street and Keppochhill Road have been renovated and work continues to maintain and improve housing in the area.

New build developments in recent years has seen Glasgow Housing Association high-rise flats demolished or refurbished and new modern low rise houses built in the area. West of Scotland housing Association now has a head office based at 252 Keppochhill Road however the interest of the charitable organisation extends into Ayrshire and Lanarkshire. The most notable surviving architectural feature in this area, the former Public Halls, was opened in 1902 and designed by William B. Whitie, who also designed Springburn's Public Carnegie library, which latterly formed Springburn Museum until it was closed in 2003. Since closing in the mid-1980s, the Springburn Public Halls were allowed to fall into a state of dereliction and were demolished in December 2012. The Springburn Library building now operates as the Glasgow North Regeneration Agency Conference Centre following a £2 million refurbishment.

Social problems
Many social problems associated with poverty from crime to alcoholism and drug addiction have plagued the area for decades. In the 2001 UK Census, nearly half of the residents in Springburn said they did not have any formal qualifications, the fourth-highest figure in the UK, and almost two-thirds said they did not own a car, second only to Shettleston; also in Glasgow. That same year, it was reported that 40% of Springburn's residents were living in poverty, the area's unemployment rate was 140% higher than Scotland's average, deaths from lung cancer was twice higher than the Scottish average and the proportion of children leaving school without Standard Grades was four times higher. The average household income was £13,310 and male unemployment stood at 13% – the highest level in Scotland.

A study by CACI in 2010 found Springburn to be the most-feared neighbourhood in Scotland for violent crime in a national league table, with 42% of residents living in fear of violence.

In 2012, the "Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation" analysis by the Scottish Government identified Springburn's Keppochhill as the third-most deprived area in Scotland behind Ferguslie Park and neighbouring Possilpark. According to a 2013 report, 51% of children in Springburn were living in poverty, the highest rate of child poverty in Scotland.

Transport
Springburn is served by Springburn railway station and Barnhill railway station in nearby Petershill, offering regular commuter services on the North Clyde and Cumbernauld lines of the Glasgow suburban rail network. The area is also served by numerous bus routes including the First Bus 88 and 90, and M3.

Noted residents
People from Springburn include Scottish International footballer James McFadden, singer (tenor) Sydney MacEwan, comedian, author and talk show host Craig Ferguson, broadcasters and writers Tom Weir MBE and his sister Molly, politicians Paul Sweeney, John McAllion and Frank McAveety. Springburn's former MP, Michael Martin, was the Speaker of the House of Commons from 2000 to 2009.

Emergency Ward 10

Emergency Ward 10 is a British medical soap opera series shown on ITV between 1957 and 1967. It is considered to be one of British television's first major soap operas.

Overview
The series was made by the ITV contractor ATV and set in a fictional hospital called Oxbridge General. Growing out of what was originally intended to be no more than a six-week serial (entitled Calling Nurse Roberts), the series became ITV's first twice-weekly evening soap opera. Emergency Ward 10 was the first hospital-based television drama to establish a successful format combining medical matters with storylines centring on the personal lives of the doctors and nurses.

Emergency Ward 10 attracted attention for its portrayal of an interracial relationship between surgeon Louise Mahler (played by Joan Hooley) and Doctor Giles Farmer (played by John White), showing the second kiss on television between black and white actors in July 1964, the first such kiss being in a Granada TV play You in Your Small Corner in 1962. However, the producers wrote the Mahler character out shortly afterwards by sending her to Africa, where she succumbed to snake bite.

When ratings began to slide it was decided to convert the programme from a soap to a one-hour drama for Saturday nights, produced by Jo Douglas. It didn't work. Emergency Ward 10 ended in 1967 after the show had been on air for ten years. ATV executive Lew Grade later admitted that cancelling the series was one of the biggest mistakes he ever made in his career.

The formula was subsequently revived with the (originally) afternoon series General Hospital (no connection with the American daytime soap General Hospital) which was broadcast between 1972 and 1979.

Australia's Charles "Bud" Tingwell starred in the series as surgeon Alan "Digger" Dawson, enjoying a heart-throb status because of his role.

The closing theme tune was "Silks and Satins" by Peter Yorke.

Releases
In March 2008, Network released a DVD set containing the 24 earliest surviving episodes which date from 1959 and 1960. A second 24-episode volume was released in July 2008, while a third 24-episode set was released in 2010. A 1966 episode was included on Network's Soap Box Volume One DVD as was the sole-surviving episode of spin-off Call Oxbridge 2000.

I thought Jane was a first name, not a surname. I found it strange how one woman would have such a fascination with military vehicles. — J I P | Talk 15:25, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Question
Does this Jane have something to do with the 1990's flightsimulators from Jane's/EA?
 * Jane's provided EA with the data for the aircraft and weapons in the games, and in return got a cut of the profits.  Imp i  21:53, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Transport Business
They also have a transport business news section. Maybe to be added? Ingolfson 05:36, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

 * It might be of some value . 66.191.19.217 (talk) 23:12, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Ownership
Can the bulk of the ownership details in the intro (namely previous ownership) be removed or placed into it's own ownership / corporate history section? Are previous ownership percentages crucial to understanding what Jane's is?

 * Done. It didn't make a lot of sense to discuss an ex-owners financial stake without context and also have no detail about the current owners status. And no source to say that who owns how much was relevant anyway. Cheers. Weakopedia (talk) 22:11, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Competitors
Get rid of The Shephard Group as a competitor - the guy who added that entry was their former marketing manager. They only compete on a very small number of products. Methna7 (talk) 22:11, 24 Feb 2012 (UTC)

reasons for pruning
Really, it's almost entirely a list, rather than an article. It's the sort of thing that might be pasted up here by a publisher (for marketing purposes) or an enthusiastic fan. Neither use is acceptable.

Almost all of the entries are "red-linked" meaning that the publications aren't important enough to merit a Wikipedia article.

None of the entries has a prose explanation of the publication.

Given those three failings, it'd perhaps be better to delete this completely. However, I'll begin by removing the red. Weeb Dingle (talk) 09:47, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

 * First, I cut all those red links, which took entirely too long. Then I removed all entries lacking an article or even a rudimentary source. What remained was turned into sentences. Finally, the pointless section divisions were dropped. Weeb Dingle (talk) 16:55, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Comparison to WEG
How similar is Jane's to the Worldwide Equipment Guide (WEG) that many militaries use? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.92.159.28 (talk) 07:05, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Q: any known scandals or investigations or censorship?
Howard from NYC (talk) 15:48, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

given these various publication contain intel of value to various governmental entities (military officers, covert intelligence analysts, policy wonks, etc) it would not be a surprise if efforts at censorship occurred; so too scandals and/or investigations;

Gikongoro

Gikongoro is a city in Nyamagabe district, Southern Province, Rwanda.

It was previously part of Gikongoro Province, which has been disestablished. Gikongoro province was founded by the newly independent Rwandan state shortly after it gained freedom from Belgium in 1962. It was designed to undermine control of the Tutsi who had a stronghold in nearby Nyanza. Before the genocide in 1993, Gikongo city had a population of under 10,000. Human Rights Watch has described Gikongoro town and province at the time of the genocide as "largely incoherent." Local political leader Emmanuel Gapyisi was assassinated in 1993 and minister and PSD head Frederic Nzamurambaho was killed at the start of the genocide. Once the genocide began, the Tutsi population of Gikongoro was wiped out quickly compared to other towns.

The city has been growing in recent years, with a number of modern buildings constructed. The city is now called Nyamagabe. It is the gateway to Nyungwe Forest, a large area of montane rain forest, home to many species of monkeys and chimpanzees.

Estanislao Zuleta

Estanislao Zuleta (1935 – 1990) was a Colombian philosopher, writer and professor, mainly known for his writings, work at various universities, and many lectures. He wrote treatises and talked about ancient and modern thinkers, and historical analyses about Latin American culture, the Latin American economy, philosophy, psychology and education. He was also an adviser for the United Nations, the Colombian Ministry of Agriculture, the Colombian Institute for Agrarian Reform (Incora), and former president Belisario Betancur Cuartas, and was a writer for the Crisis Magazine of Medellín. He was awarded the Honoris Causa in psychology of University of Valle in 1980. The Estanislao Zuleta Foundation was created after his death to continue to promote his legacy.

Life
Zuleta was born in Medellín on February 3, 1935, to a family of intellectuals. His father died on June 24, 1935, in the same plane crash that killed the famous Tango composer and singer Carlos Gardel. Zuleta was a disciple of the Colombian philosopher Fernando González Ochoa.

Zuleta abandoned the school when he was a teenager to become an autodidact. This led to him reading many of the classics of universal philosophy, literature, history, art and social science.

Education and philosophy
Zuleta mainly studied political economy, and often held lectures in Bogotá in 1963 in the National University of Colombia and Universidad Libre. He became professor at both universities teaching law and philosophy.

In 1969 he went to Cali to work in Universidad Santiago de Cali, where he became vice-rector. From Cali he returned to his native Medellín to teach in the University of Antioquia.

Zuleta studied many many different philosophers and was considered a left-wing intellectual, and, after studying Capital and Freud´s theories, published a article named Marxism and Psychoanalysis.

Professor and research
Zuleta worked as a professor and researcher in multiple different fields, including philosophy and socioeconomics.

In 1980 the University of Valle gave him an honorary degree for his research in psychology, and on the day of the ceremony he wrote one his most famous essays, "Praise to Difficulty" (Elogio a la Dificultad). He remained at the University of Valle for the remainder of his life, and died in Cali on February 17, 1990, at the age of 55.

Zuleta founded several newspapers and magazines, such as Crisis (1957), Agitacion (1962) and Estrategias (1963).

Personal life
Zuleta married María del Rosario Ortiz Santos, before later divorcing her and remarrying Yolanda González in 1964. He had five children: Silvia Zuleta, José Zuleta, Fernando Zuleta, Yolanda Zuleta and Morella Zuleta, and was the grandfather of Ilenia Anton.

Mrs. Mop

Mrs. Mop is a patience or solitaire card game which is played using two decks of playing cards. Invented by Charles Jewell, it is a relative of the solitaire game Spider in which all of the cards are dealt face up at the beginning of the game. The rules are simple, but working out the right thing to do is a slow process, in which "patience" may be an important word. If you can make a couple of spare columns, your chance of winning is pretty good.

Rules
First the cards are dealt into thirteen columns of eight cards each. The player will then aim to form eight full suit sequences of 13 cards each. Every sequence should run from King down to Ace.

To achieve this, the cards are built down regardless of suit. One card can be moved at a time, unless there are two or more cards of the same suit forming a sequence (such as ♠7-6-5-4) at which case they are moved as a single unit. Because all the cards are visible at the outset, Mrs Mop is arguably one of the most skill-based rather than luck-based solitaire games.

When a suit sequence is formed on the same column, running from King down to Ace (such as ♣K-Q-J-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-A), the sequence is discarded. This game is won when all eight such sequences are removed.

Like in Spider, it is generally a good idea for the player to build down in suit whenever possible because the earlier this is done, the sooner a sequence is removed, giving the player more space to maneuver.

If you can make a couple of spaces you can sort many non-suit sequences into suit sequences. Making four spaces pretty much guarantees a win. Finding columns all of whose cards can be built on others is therefore a good tactic.

Rosengård

Rosengård (literally "Rose Manor") was a city district (stadsdel) in the center of Malmö Municipality, Sweden. On 1 July 2013, it was merged with Husie, forming Öster. In 2012, Rosengård had a population of 23,563 of the municipality's 307,758. Its area was 332 hectares.

Rosengård was located centrally in Malmö, neighbouring the former city district Centrum. Long a destination for immigrants, 86% of the population had some foreign ancestry in 2008.

History
Most of Rosengård was built between 1967 and 1972 as a part of the Million Programme although some parts, such as the mansion in Herrgården, and Östra kyrkogården, are older. Rosengård was to a high degree populated by minorities. In 1972, the percentage of immigrants was around 18%, with the majority of inhabitants being working-class people from rural Sweden. From 1974, there was a white flight out of the area as more immigrants were assigned there. By 2012, the figure for those of immigrant background was given as 86%.

On 1 July 2013, Rosengård was merged with Husie, forming Öster.

Violence
Rosengård has been the place for several violent clashes between gangs and between the resident youths and authorities. In December 2008, riots occurred as youngsters confronted the police in which cars, wagons, kiosks, building sheds, recycling stations, and bicycle sheds were set ablaze. The background to the riots was the eviction of a local mosque. The riot was the most violent yet seen in an urban area in Sweden. The riot finally ended when police forces from Gothenburg and Stockholm were sent in.

In June 2011, shots were fired at the lower floor of the police station in Rosengård. Nobody was arrested.

In film
The Netflix drama series based on the writings of Henning Mankell about fictional Inspector Kurt Wallander, Young Wallander, features Rosengård heavily in the series as the main focus of the story line. Journalist Sara Ringmar criticizes the series as biased, repeating myths, most of the scenes were filmed in Lithuania.

Neighbourhoods
The neighbourhoods of Rosengård were:

• Apelgården

• Emilstorp

• Herrgården

• Kryddgården

• Persborg

• Rosengård Centrum

• Törnrosen

• Västra Kattarp

• Örtagården

• Östra kyrkogården

Places of worship
Malmö Mosque is located nearby. It is situated a few hundred metres from the church in Västra Skrävlinge.

According to Swedish Defence University reports in 2009 and 2018, there are a number of Islamic prayer rooms (Swedish: källarmoskéer) in Rosengård spreading a radical salafist ideology.

Demographics
In 2007, 60% were born outside of Sweden. In 2008, 86% of the population was of foreign background.

The ten largest groups of foreign-born persons in 2010 were:
 * 1) 🇮🇶 Iraq (2,957)
 * 2)  Former Yugoslavia (2,172)
 * 3) 🇱🇧 Lebanon (1,370)
 * 4) 🇧🇦 Bosnia and Herzegovina (1,211)

 * 7) 🇵🇱 Poland (475)
 * 8) 🇦🇫 Afghanistan (406)
 * 9) 🇹🇷 Turkey (357)
 * 10) 🇵🇰 Pakistan (230)

Social issues
Unemployment and education are two major issues in the area. Only 38% of the population in Rosengård are employed and 60% complete elementary school, compared to a citywide average (inclusive Rosengård) of 80%.

Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales

Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales (National Institute for Oriental Languages and Civilizations), abbreviated as INALCO, is a French Grand Etablissement with a specializing in the teaching of languages and cultures from the world. Its coverage spans languages of Central Europe, Africa, Asia, America, and Oceania. With 104 languages taught as of 2024, this institution is currently the world's largest provider of language training courses.

It is also informally called Langues’O  in French, an abbreviation for Langues orientales.

The INALCO logo is made up of the school's acronym, each part of which is translated into languages written in non-Latin characters, corresponding to Inalco's fields of teaching and research.

History

 * 1669 Jean-Baptiste Colbert founds the École des jeunes de langues language school
 * 1795 The École spéciale des langues orientales (Special School for Oriental Languages) is established
 * 1873 The two schools merge
 * 1914 The school is renamed the École nationale des langues orientales vivantes (ENLOV)
 * 1971 The school is renamed the Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales or Inalco (National Institute for Oriental Languages and Civilizations)
 * 1984 Inalco is recognized as a Grand établissement
 * 2010 Inalco becomes a founding member of Sorbonne Paris Cité
 * 2011 Inalco centralizes all of its taught courses under one roof at 65 rue des Grands Moulins in Paris

Organization
Inalco is structured partly into departments, whose perimeter corresponds to a region of the world, and partly into professionally-oriented courses or sectors. Departments may be monolingual or group together several language sections. Inalco's courses prepare students for careers in intercultural communication and training, international trade, teaching French as a foreign language, advanced international studies, and Natural Language Processing.

List of departments and sections (and their languages)

 * Africa and Indian Ocean (Amharic, Bambara, Chleuh, Comorian, Fulani, Hausa, Kabyle, Malagasy, Mandingo, Soninke, Swahili, Tuareg, Wolof, Yoruba)
 * South Asia Himalayas (Bengali, Hindi, Nepali, Urdu, Rromani, Sanskrit, Sinhalese, Tamil, Telugu, Tibetan)
 * Southeast Asia and the Pacific (Bisaya, Burmese, Bislama, Cham, Drehu, Tagalog, Ilocano, Indonesian Malay, Khmer, Lao, Môn, Thai, Tahitian, Taï lü, Vietnamese)
 * Arabic Studies (Modern Standard Arabic, Classical Arabic, Algerian, Moroccan, Tunisian, Egyptian, Syrian-Lebanese)
 * Chinese Studies (Standard Chinese, Min, Classical Chinese)
 * Korean Studies (Korean)
 * Hebrew and Jewish Studies (Biblical, Rabbinic, Medieval and Modern Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic, Judeo-Spanish, Yiddish)
 * Japanese Studies (Japanese)
 * Russian Studies (Russian, Belarusian)
 * Eurasia (Armenian, Azeri, Georgian, Kurdish, Mongolian, Ossetian, Uyghur, Uzbek, Pashto, Persian, Kazakh, Tatar, Turkish)
 * Europe (Polish, Czech, Sorbian, Slovak, Slovene, Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian, Udmurt, Latvian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Modern Greek, Albanian)
 * Languages and cultures of the Americas (Inuktitut languages, Mayan languages, Quechuan languages, Guarani, Nahuatl)

List of sectors

 * International trade
 * Intercultural communication and training
 * Language didactics
 * International relations
 * Text, Computing, and Mutlilingualism (NLP)

The Institute offers initial training at Bachelor's, Master's and PhD levels, as well as continuing education open to external students and professionals. Foreign students can take French as a foreign language courses. Short, à la carte courses, evening classes and “practical certificates” are also popular.

Success and failure
Compared to other French universities, many Bachelor programs at INALCO show high failure rates, i.e. high proportions of students failing the course in their end-of-year exam (65% of success in the 3rd year, compared to 74% nation-wide). This is particularly true among students specializing in Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Korean, Russian and Arabic historically the largest departments of INALCO.

As an example, with approximate student numbers, indicating rates of success and failure in the first, second, and third year of the Department of Japanese Studies.

An explanation sometimes given is the difficulty of these courses, or the high level required by INALCO. A more likely cause is the absence of any entrance examination: any student can register in any course, regardless of their true motivation or academic level. But this is not the case of the Japanese Studies Department anymore for more than ten years 2015 (only around 300 of the 1200 to 1300 applicants are accepted to enter the cursus each year). Many students select a language out of a superficial interest in a country or culture, or due to individual connections, yet without the commitment to thoroughly learning those difficult languages. This issue is particularly acute for first and second-year students; those who reach the third year are much more motivated, and thus show much higher rates of success.

Overview
Research at Inalco combines area studies and academic fields. Researchers study languages and civilizations that are increasingly in the spotlight – Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and as far as the Arctic – and are central to the major issues of the 21st century. Fourteen research teams, often partnered with other research organizations, PhD programs, and a publishing service form the backbone of research at Inalco. Inalco also has a project management and knowledge transfer service.

The research teams, administration offices, and doctoral school are housed in a building dedicated entirely to research, with access to a full range of support functions: assistance in preparing research proposals and grant applications, organizing scientific events, looking for partnerships and funding, publication support, internal funding, and communication.

 * 14 research teams (see below)

 * 270 faculty members
 * 300 PhD students
 * 100 scientific events per year
