Talk:Abu-Lu'lu'ah

=Two articles should be merged with "Pirouz Nahavandi" name=

Untitled
It seems that we have different stories about the same person; Since his name was originally "Pirouz Nahavandi" then the title of article should be "Pirouz Nahavandi"  not Abu-lu'lu'ah (which could be an offensive name). However the Abu-lu'lu'ah also should be written on the page so that every person with a background from each side of the story could find the article. Two sides of the story should be placed in one article. None of the content of these two should be deleted. --Sepahvand (talk) 04:23, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

=---= I have completely redone the article based on what little I could find on the web. We need links, references, possibly a picture of the mausoleum, and possibly a Shi'a version of the story. Zora 10:08, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Good work. --Striver 17:30, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Stop revering back to a less informative version. If you have a problem, state it here.--Striver 18:38, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

 * "It is possible..." with no reference is O.R.
 * Then remove the part that bothers you, the article has evolved a lot since then. --Striver 23:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

this has been removed (not by me.). Please re-insert when sources have been found. --Striver 00:10, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually the writer of the article is so trapped in his/her Shia-Sunni obsessions, that forgot to talk about the humanitarian ascpects of this man. actually he is graced by Persians not as a good shia but mostly as a free man who fought for his freedom to the last breath. That why it's an honor for some poeple in Iran to call themselves descendant of Piruz.

shi'a ?
Abu-Lu'lu'ah Al-Majousi was a Zoroastrian, not a shi'a. they shiite believe was not found yet in this period of history. Ammar (Talk - Don't Talk) 17:13, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Abu Lolo was an assasin and disgusted by Shias too. Ali also knew him as a criminal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.12.104.184 (talk) 17:14, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

merge with Pirouz Nahavandi
We seem to have two Wikipedia biographies of the same person and I therefore propose a merger of this article with Pirouz Nahavandi Jonathan Cardy (talk) 12:46, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I would agree with you except the Muslims tend to refuse to see things from any other perspective and like to alter history to suite their own petty beliefs. The nick name Abu-Lulu should not even appear on Wikipedia as it is very derogatory. Wikipedia should not be a place to get politics involved only history and historically, it is no appropriate to refer to individuals by nicknames which one group has given an individual. For example Alexander the great from many cultures perspective is also known as Alexander the terrible. In Wikipeida, Only historic facts should be mentioned and neither Alexander the great nor Alexander the terrible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Payam09 (talk • contribs) 13:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Regardless of one's perspective of him I agree that this should be merged with the Pirouz Nahavandi article. He was an Iranian and should be listed under his Iranian name. Otherwise every biographical article could be duplicated according to how that individual is named in different countries. --Utinomen (talk) 00:10, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree to merge. They refer to th esame person. Both names could be included on the Pirouz page, as long as there are references. --DerRichter (talk) 02:24, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

His name was Pirouz Nahavandi and he was disgusted just by islam and the culture of slavery that arabs are celebrating till now.

OR
"All of these elements put together lead to the only logical conclusion that Pirouz was the Persian military commander at Nahavand that was captured by Mughira and brought back to Arabia, where these events took place." I am not sure who wrote this article, but it needs to be rewritten. --Nepaheshgar (talk) 11:04, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Zoroastrian for sure
The resource for claiming that he was a shia muslim is very weak. At that time there were no shia/sunni muslim and imagin that how can we say a persian slave who assassinates muslim khalif was a muslim?! While we know that first Muslims adore their khalif as the prophet's successor! We are certain that Abu lulu or Piruz Nahavandi was persian and Zoroasterian before he was captured as a slave. Then he killed the great Muslim hero, Omar the second khalif who conquered the Empire of Persia. Is that difficult to guess what his belief was? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.71.127.41 (talk) 17:50, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Kearsley railway station

Kearsley railway station serves the town of Kearsley and the outlying villages of Stoneclough, Prestolee and Ringley in Greater Manchester, England. It was originally named Stoneclough.

It lies on the Manchester-Preston Line 7+3/4 mi north of Manchester Victoria, though only local services run by Northern Trains stop here.

The station was staffed until the early 1990s, however the arson attacking of the station building just below platform level saw an end to this arrangement. In the spring of 2015, the station's pedestrian rail crossing was replaced by a footbridge and the platforms rebuilt as part of modernisation work to electrify the line and raise line speeds to 100 mph.

Facilities
The station is unmanned, however, there is a ticket machine on the Bolton-bound platform that allows passengers to pay for a ticket by card. Passengers wishing to pay by cash can use these machines to obtain a ‘Promise to Pay’ ticket. There are simple waiting shelters on each platform, with train running information provided by telephone and timetable posters. Step free access is available to both platforms via Station Road. However, passengers coming from Stoneclough village would have to walk further to access these facilities.

Services
There is an hourly service northbound to Bolton and Southport and southbound to Manchester Victoria and Stalybridge throughout the day Mondays to Saturdays. Evening trains began stopping here at the May 2018 timetable change, but ongoing electrification work on the Manchester to Preston route saw all weekend trains replaced by buses for most of 2017–18; electric service eventually starting on Monday 11 February 2019 initially utilising Class 319 electric multiple units (though the Wigan to Manchester trains serving the station are still diesel operated).

There is no Sunday service.

21st century upgrade and electrification
In 2009, Andrew Adonis in a government paper, proposed infill electrification schemes in the North West of England. After a spending review, in July 2012 the Coalition government announced 25 kV AC railway electrification reconfirming the scheme previously announced by Adonis. Amongst schemes announced for electrification were Manchester - Euxton Junction through Kearsley railway station and thence to Euxton Junction. The project also called for a major civil engineering project to rebore the Farnworth tunnel on the line in advance of electrification.

Jurong Pioneer Junior College

Jurong Pioneer Junior College (JPJC) is a junior college in Singapore offering a two-year pre-university course leading up to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level examination. The college was formed from the merger of Jurong Junior College and Pioneer Junior College in January 2019.

Foundation years
Pioneer Junior College was established on 2 January 2000, with the inaugural principal, Mr. Kwek Hiok Chuang making the news as Singapore's youngest appointed principal in recent years. The college initially was located at the former campus of the French-German Institute of Singapore, along Science Centre Road. The College relocated to the current permanent campus at 21 Teck Whye Walk in December 2004. It was officially declared open by Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam, then acting Minister of Education on 20 February 2004.

Sixty-two teachers and executive and administrative staff, and two hundred students, were the first batch of Pioneers of Pioneer Junior College (the "Pioneer Pioneers"). Students were involved in the formation of the college rules and the design of the college crest and uniform. The college's vision and mission statements were formally endorsed on 31 August 2000 by the College Advisory Committee, students' parents, the staff and students. In the subsequent year, on 8 August 2001, the college anthem and flag were formally adopted by the college community.

On 25 February 2002, PJC became the first junior college to launch its own satellite ground receiving station. Its inaugural College Day was held on 26 April 2002 to award deserving pioneers who had contributed in one way or another to the college. The guest-of-honour was the Chairman of the College Advisory Committee, Professor Phua Kok Khoo.

Integration of Jurong Junior College
On 20 April 2017, it was announced that Jurong Junior College will be integrated into Pioneer Junior College with effect from January 2019, with the new name as Jurong Pioneer Junior College, which is a combination of the two schools' names. JJC's current principal, Dr Hang Kim Hoo, will take over as the principal of Jurong Pioneer Junior College. This was in view of the declining enrollment into junior colleges since 2014, attributed to the fall in Singapore's birth rate. The merger process is to be completed by January 2019.

College insignia
Pioneer Junior College's insignia was designed by its pioneer batch of students in 2001. The 63° angle of the white part of the college crest in between the black and red parts correspond to the 63 staff serving in the college when it was first established.

Uniform
Jurong Pioneer Junior College's uniform was designed by alumni from JJC and PJC as well as its pioneer batch of students in 2018. The current uniform is a white shirt/blouse and dark blue pants/skirt. Students wear a maroon tie every Monday morning till 1030hrs. During other official events, students don grey blazers and ties.

House system
There are six Houses under PJC House System, Owens, Byron, Darwin, Keller, Nobel and Polo, all named after Pioneers who have made an indelible mark in their field.

Students are allocated a house based on their civics grouping (classes). Competition among the six Houses takes place when the student executive committee takes up office-bearer positions. The competition includes events like the Inter-House Games (both sports and non-sports) and National Physical Fitness Award (NAPFA) test. The overall champion of all these events is awarded the Inter-House Challenge Trophy at the end of each office-bearer year. The House system seeks to encourage bonding between students and ultimately promote college spirit.

Campus
The campus of Pioneer Junior College, situated at 21 Teck Whye Walk, was officially opened by Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Acting Minister of Education, on 20 February 2004.

The campus is equipped with four lecture theatres for scheduled academic lectures, as well as college activities and performances. Lecture Theatre 4, the largest lecture theatre, have a maximum seating capacity of 600.

Ngee Ann Kong Si Library
The Ngee Ann Kong Si Library, the library of the College, features private consultants rooms within the library, each furnished with tables, chairs and a whiteboard. The library is also furnished with study cubicles, where students can study independently during breaks, after school or during night study sessions.

The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary is an air-conditioned facility located above the Ngee Ann Kong Si Auditorium, dedicated for student activity space operated by the College's Student Council. The dedicated area features couches and games to destress after classes.Students can visit the Sanctuary during opening hours scheduled by the Student Councillors.

Other facilities include the netball court, squash court, futsal court, basketball court, 8-lane track, field and the gym.

Academic Information
Jurong Pioneer Junior College offers both the Art and Science streams leading up to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level examination.

Language Elective Programmes
Jurong Pioneer Junior College offers the Malay Language Elective Programme (MLEP) as well as the Chinese Language Elective Programme (CLEP), the former which was migrated from Pioneer Junior College, and the latter which was migrated from Jurong Junior College since January 2019.

Square degree

A square degree (deg2) is a non-SI unit measure of solid angle. Other denotations include sq. deg. and (°)2. Just as degrees are used to measure parts of a circle, square degrees are used to measure parts of a sphere. Analogous to one degree being equal to $3.046 sr$ radians, a square degree is equal to ($\pi⁄180$)2 steradians (sr), or about $\pi⁄180$ sr or about $1⁄3,283$.

The whole sphere has a solid angle of 4$\pi$ sr which is approximately $3.046 sr$:

 * $$4 \pi \left(\frac{180}{\pi}\right)^2 \, {\deg}^2 = \frac{360^2}{\pi}\,\, {\deg}^2 = \frac{129\,600}{\pi} \,\, {\deg}^2 \approx 41\,252.96 \,\, {\deg}^2$$

Examples

 * The full moon covers only about $41,253 deg^{2}$ of the sky when viewed from the surface of the Earth. The Moon is only a half degree across (i.e. a circular diameter of roughly $0.2 deg^{2}$), so the moon's disk covers a circular area of: π($0.5 deg$)2, or 0.2 square degrees. The moon varies from 0.188 to $0.5°⁄2$ depending on its distance from the Earth.
 * Viewed from Earth, the Sun is roughly half a degree across (the same as the full moon) and covers only $0.244 deg^{2}$ as well.
 * It would take 210 100 times the full moon (or the Sun) to cover the entire celestial sphere.
 * Conversely, an average full moon (or the Sun) covers a 2 / 210 100 fraction, or less than 1/1000 of a percent ($0.2 deg^{2}$) of the celestial hemisphere, or above-the-horizon sky.
 * Assuming the Earth to be a sphere with a surface area of 510 million km2, the area of Northern Ireland ($0$) represents a solid angle of $14,130 km^{2}$, Connecticut ($1.14 deg^{2}$) represents a solid angle of $14,357 km^{2}$, Equatorial Guinea ($1.16 deg^{2}$) represents a solid angle of $28,050 km^{2}$.
 * The largest constellation, Hydra, covers a solid angle of $2 deg^{2}$, whereas the smallest, Crux, covers only $1,303 deg^{2}$.

Model Farms High School

Model Farms High School is a public high school in Baulkham Hills, a suburb in northwest Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The school is named so because the area was set up to demonstrate farming practices to convicts and others who wished to start a farm when the first settlers arrived. The school was built and established in 1975.

Houses
A new school house system was introduced in 2007, with some major changes to the old system. It includes receiving house points for merits and awards, as well as sporting events like the annual swimming carnival. The houses consist of Chisholm (green), Peel (blue), Thompson (red), and Wentworth (yellow).

2020 bomb threat
At about 10:30AM on 28 August 2020, police were called to Model Farms High School. The NSW bomb squad, ambulance and fire crews were on the scene until about 1:30PM the same day.

Notable people

 * Daniel Mookhey – NSW Treasurer, 2023–present
 * John Tsigounis – First Australian-born Greek Orthodox Bishop, 2011–present

Clifton railway station (Greater Manchester)

Clifton railway station is a railway station in Clifton, Greater Manchester, England which was formerly called Clifton Junction. It lies on the Manchester–Preston line.

History
The railway line between Salford and Bolton, the Manchester and Bolton Railway (M&BR), opened in 1838, but had no stations between Agecroft Bridge and Ringley. In 1844, the Manchester, Bury and Rossendale Railway (MB&RR) was authorised to build a line from a junction with the M&BR at Clifton, to Rawtenstall. It opened to the public on 28 September 1846, by which time the MB&RR had amalgamated with other companies to become the East Lancashire Railway, and the M&BR had itself amalgamated with the Manchester and Leeds Railway; the M&LR became the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1847.

The Bury line ran northward from the junction, crossing the Irwell Valley on the Clifton Viaduct (known locally as the "13 arches"), to run on the opposite side of the valley from the Bolton line. A station at the junction, with two platforms for each route (Bolton or Bury), opened in June 1847, and was named Clifton Junction.

The line to Bury closed in 1966, but the viaduct remains a Grade II listed local landmark. On 6 May 1974 the station was renamed Clifton, (even though the area has become known as Clifton Junction), and in the 1990s the service was reduced to one train per day in each direction.

The closest station to Clifton Junction with a regular service is Swinton 1.25 mi away on the line between Manchester and Wigan Wallgate via Atherton.

Local industry made good use of Clifton Junction railway station long before the advent of mass car ownership when three factories were established close by enabling employees and visitors access by train. The three factories were Magnesium Elektron Ltd, Chloride Batteries Ltd and Pilkington's Tiles Ltd.

Services
The service at Clifton railway station is very limited in the current 2023 timetable (and has been since 1992), with just one train calling in each direction between Stalybridge and Southport per day - southbound (at 08:36) in the morning peak and northbound (at 18:20) in the evening. In 2012, the station had only a small amount of services day in each direction (local services run by Northern); only 170 passengers were recorded as using the station in 2010–11. The single daily service each way was suspended between May 2015 and the December 2015 timetable change due to the ongoing modernisation work at Farnworth Tunnel, with a replacement bus provided instead. The station reopened on schedule on 14 December 2015.

Electric service commenced on Monday 11 February 2019, initially utilising Class 319 electric multiple units.

There is no Sunday service.

Talk:Weitou dialect

Untitled
A few problems:

 * 1) 吃：hek7 or hek8? In standard Cantonese, it is hek8. I'm not sure if there's a variation in Waitau. De ryc  k C.  10:17, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) gwa or gwaa? (there's no vowel "a" in std. canton, just "aa" and "a-sth") De ryc  k C.  10:19, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Except Cantonese don't use hek to mean to eat dinner (the northern Chinese do, pronounced chi), but the word sig is used. 2A00:23C5:C10B:A300:1176:4EC1:D032:10E7 (talk) 18:41, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

Cantonese "Wai Tau" = Hakka "Vui Teu"
The article so far suggests that WaiTau dialects are all Cantonese, this is plainly incorrect, since Hakka people sometimes refer to the language they speak in their Hakka Villages as [vui11 theu11 va53]. The translation of the term as "walled city" dialects is literal, however, the majority of villages in Hong Kong are not walled. In the Hakka sense of the term 圍頭/围头 is generally of 'the village'. Thus VuiTeu dialects should be termed more appropriately as "village dialects".

Most of the walled villages in Hong Kong are found in the New Territories, and some are Cantonese, others are Hakka. See Walled villages of Hong Kong that suggest Waitauwah cannot be equated solely with Cantonese.

Dylanwhs 20:13, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * But by any means it should carry the meaning of "walled". Deryck C. 04:58:34, 2005-09-03 (UTC)

"Snake Language"
"It is also known as Se Wah (Traditional Chinese: 蛇話 lit. snake language)... "

The character for 'snake' is actually a incorrect character for the language. The She people or Se-Ch'uk in Cantonese is more properly rendered as 畲族 and their language is 畲話. Traditionally, Chinese linguists have associated the She peoples and language with Hakka - not Cantonese. Dylanwhs 20:30, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Hakka Expressions listed under WaiTau Words
From my own language/speech of Shataukok, the following Hakka vocabulary are cognates with those listed under WaiTau words in the article. I've provided the characters that I think best fits the pronunciations with its meanings.

This is table also appears in my talk page Dylanwhs 23:37, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Brilliant to see "能太" here. As a kid I could never "translate" it to Cantonese. To me it just meant "great", "super", "cool", "awesome", etc. I suppose in slang Cantonese it could be "sai'ng-lay" or PTH "li hai", which is "Lay Hoy" in Cantonese. 2A00:23C5:C101:5800:9DE2:10D5:3E2C:D8F (talk) 23:35, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Section
In my opinion, the main paragraphs of this article should be split into 2 or 3 sections. D e  ryc  k C.  09:22:46, 2005-09-04 (UTC)
 * u can do that, of course. ^_^ --K.C. Tang 13:08, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Later, I'm now facing something hard. D  e  ryc  k C.  14:44:54, 2005-09-04 (UTC)

Done. D e  ryc  k C.  11:20:20, 2005-09-07 (UTC)

Section cleanup
I suggest the table to be disassociated into a list like this:

 * Cantonese
 * Waitau: sth
 * Hakka: sth
 * meaning: sth

D e  ryc  k C.  11:20:20, 2005-09-07 (UTC)

 * Have revised. :P --K.C. Tang 16:53, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Hakka section
As the Cantonese has equvialents of the Waitau words together with characters, the Hakka section too requires the characters with it's corresponding pronunciations, and equivalent words. For example, huk (to cry) is not used much in everyday Hakka, since kiau53 is used, so I've put in 叫 kiau53 and so forth. Dylanwhs 08:20, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

With regard to the removal of the phonemic transcription in Hakka, that's ok. Perhaps Cantonese really ought to be transcribed phonetically in IPA too. This will make the article less subject to change, that is, certain romanisations tend to be fashionable for a while, then something else replaces them. Unicode moved from Yale to Jyutping lately for its listings of Cantonese readings, for instance. IPA should be used in a linguistic related article such as this. It will be able to tie in with other articles such as the descriptions of Cantonese, Hakka and other Chinese dialects nicely. Dylanwhs 08:36, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
 * No objections for IPA. By the way, the table format has been revised a bit, and a rather (for me) interesting term has been added. --K.C. Tang 17:10, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
 * IPA or Jyutping, as you people will like. D  e  ryc  k C.  07:11:05, 2005-09-12 (UTC)

Clarification
Just wondering if the lead section could be worded a little more clearly: is Waitau all three: a (a) Cantonese variant (b) synonym for Hakka, and (c) term for any non-Standard Cantonese (Guangfu) dialect...or is it only "truly" (a)? It seems that most of the page is dedicated to (a). Perhaps this could be a little clearer. Thanks --Dpr 18:22, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * yeah, i know it sounds a bit confusing, but the fact seems to be that the term is used both in a general and in a specific sense. u can try to clarify it, of course. :P --K.C. Tang 14:34, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I can only clarify if I know what it means. So am I correct, does it mean all three things, (a), (b), and (c)? If the terms has many meanings, it should (can) be stately cleary that this is the case. Thanks --Dpr 01:56, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * as the article states, the genereal meaning is any spoken variant, other than Guangfu, used in the villages of Hong Kong, sometimes even including Hakka (as the She Wah case suggests). we can say it is the "folk" use of the term. The specific meaning is a dialect of Cantonese, which has its distinct phonology, according to some linguists. we can say it is the "linguistic" use of the term. Hope it is clear. :P --K.C. Tang 04:16, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

vocabulary

The following table contains some Waitau words and phrases, along with its Standard Cantonese and Hong Kong Hakka equivalents. It can be seen that Waitau, not surprisingly, shares many cognates with Hong Kong Hakka.

Is Waitau dialect mutually intelligible to Cantonese?
Is Waitau dialect mutually intelligible to Standard Cantonese? If the dialects were spoken slowly, can two speakers of the two dialects, understand each other? Homer33 03:15, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * um... I guess so.--K.C. Tang 09:00, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

 * K.C. Tang, are you a Hakka? Homer33 01:40, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * why, the Hakka speaks Hakka, not Waitau. I can only understand some Waitau, not Hakka. Cheers.--K.C. Tang 01:58, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Waitau is listed as one of the Hakka dialects in the list of chinese dialects. If Waitau is not a Hakka language, then the Hakka lists of dialects should be changed. Homer33 04:59, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I see, will change that. Cheers.--K.C. Tang 09:21, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

K.C. Tang, Waitau dialect may be a Hakka dialect that is similar to Cantonese, Are you 100% sure that Waitau is not a Hakka dialect? Otherwise a Hakka editor should make the change. Chow Yun-Fat is a Hakka and spoke Waitau. Homer33 15:50, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Why, you can take a look at the references listed in the article. There are two links and one book, the book (a tome indeed) is not easily available, though. Cheers.--K.C. Tang 03:40, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I think it would be a good idea to merge Edge mill with this article, but in the interim I have added its link to this article's See Also section. If I understand correctly, the proper procedure is to add a delete-discussion template to the top of the Edge mill page, and a suggestion for a merge to this article should be written on the Delete discussion page and the Edge mill discussion page.  But as I'm no expert in these matters, I leave it to others.--Storye book (talk) 14:00, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Not a delete. If considered necessary to merge, Edge mill should remain as a redirect here (i) to retain the editing history of that page (as per the GFDL licence) (ii) because it is a valid search term and (iii) because someone in the future may wish to expand it into a separate article again.
 * As for "how?", see WP:MERGE. You'll need to add 'merge-to' and 'merge-from tags to the two pages as appropriate.

Chapelle Rouge

The Red Chapel of Hatshepsut or the Chapelle rouge was a religious shrine in Ancient Egypt.

The chapel was originally constructed as a barque shrine during the reign of Hatshepsut. She was the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty from approximately 1479 to 1458 BC. It was demolished in antiquity and its parts reused in other projects. However, following its rediscovery in modern time, the Chapel was reconstructed in 1997 using its original materials.

The chapel's original location may have been in the central court of the temple of Amun at Karnak, near Thebes. Alternatively, it might have been situated between the two obelisks of Hatshepsut. It is also thought that Hatshepsut erected several smaller chapels and the Chambers of Hatshepsut behind the chapel.

Background
Ancient Egyptians believed that a sacred barque was used in a nightly journey of the sun deity, traveling from the western horizon at sunset behind the earth to the eastern horizon where the sunrise would occur. During the early eighteenth dynasty, the sun deity was Amun. During religious ceremonies the deity would be transported from one temple or section of a temple complex to another in a model which the pharaoh and other religious leaders kept for such religious ceremonies. The chapel would have been its sacred temple.

A barque also was believed to transport the dead to the afterlife and royal ones would carry the pharaoh on a journey to become a deity. Eventually, in addition to the reliefs and paintings of barques, model copies were placed in the tombs of pharaohs, royalty, and all who could afford to provide one for their burial.

The chapel consists of two open courts and is approximately 18 metres long, 6 m wide, and 5.5 m high. Its upper portion is made of red quartzite (hence the name); the foundation is built of black diorite. Black granite and grey diorite also were used in its construction. In the center of the first of three courts contained in the chapel, is a basin, probably used to hold a model of a barque. In the center of the inner court, two rectangular stone slabs mark places where statues or barques might have been placed.

The chapel was erected at the temple of Karnak in the sanctuary of Amun-Ra and placed immediately in front of a mud-brick and limestone temple remaining from the Middle Kingdom. To the north and south of the Chapel stood a collection of smaller sandstone cult shrines known as the Hatshepsut Suite, whose decorations showed Hatshepsut making offerings to the deities. The chapel consisted of two rooms, a vestibule, and a sanctuary, which were raised on a diorite platform and could be accessed using short ramps on either side. The purpose of the chapel was to house the Userhat-Amun, the barque believed to be used by the deity Amun to travel about on festival days.

The Userhat-Amun was a small-scale wooden boat covered in gold that bore an enclosed shrine in which the Amun statue was placed to be protected from the public view. On holy days, the statue of Amun would be placed on the barque and carried in procession from Karnak on the shoulders of priests. When the statue of Amun was not traveling, however, the barque rested in its own shrine. During the early New Kingdom, the barque had become an increasingly important aspect of Egyptian theology and barque shrines were built for many temples. During the reign of Hatshepsut, the Chapel was the prominent barque shrine of Amun at Karnak.

The structure, decoration, and complex history of the Chapel divulge secrets about the reign of Hatshepsut and the Egypt of the eighteenth dynasty.

Construction of the shrine
Almost all of the New Kingdom rulers built at Karnak. Successive pharaohs added various structures in order to leave a lasting monument at the temple. Although Hatshepsut made many contributions to Karnak, one of her largest was the chapel. Hatshepsut began construction on the chapel in the seventeenth year of her reign. The chapel was placed within the Palace of Ma’at, the sanctuary constructed for Karnak by Hatshepsut honoring one of the oldest of deities. There is some debate, however, over whether or not the sanctuary had to be modified to accommodate the chapel. Because the space where the chapel was thought to stand once was occupied by a suite of three rooms that were built around the same time as the Chapel, Hatshepsut may have built the walls and then had them torn down immediately to make room for the introduction of the chapel.

It is probable that Hatshepsut did not complete the decoration of the chapel before her death because the upper blocks show only Thutmose III, her successor, and the upper registers of the southern outer wall bear a dedication inscription with his name alone. These signs imply that he had become the pharaoh by that time.

Decoration
Thutmose III had been the co-regent of Hatshepsut—the royal wife to his father and thereby his aunt and "stepmother"—who became pharaoh during his youth and ruled until her death. Thutmose III married the daughter of Hatshepsut, Neferure, to continue the royal lineage, but she and their offspring failed to survive his reign. During the majority of Thutmose's reign as pharaoh, none of the construction by Hatshepsut was harmed, and in fact, he continued to enhance this structure. The destruction of the works of Hatshepsut seems to have begun after his remaining son (of a non-royal wife) became co-regent to him in his old age. Some of these blocks were reused immediately in the shrine of Amun that was erected in the heart of Karnak temple.

Much of the chapel was covered in relief and inscriptions describing the events that occurred during the reign of Hatshepsut. Some of the relief on the shrine depicts priests carrying the barque of Amun through the temples and streets of Thebes during religious festivals. Some of the blocks show Hatshepsut in the royal garb, running with the Apis bull between the markers of her Heb-Sed festival.

The blocks of the building have been catalogued and numbered. Decorations on the Red Chapel may help archeologists pinpoint the coronation date of Hatshepsut: one text inscribed on Block 287, on the outside wall of the chapel, hints that Hatshepsut was named pharaoh in the second year of an unnamed king's reign. This text, narrated by Hatshepsut, describes a religious procession associated with the Opet Festival. During the ceremony, in the presence of this anonymous ruler, an oracle speaking the words of Amun makes the announcement that Hatshepsut is to become the pharaoh. It is unclear, however, who the unnamed king is. One argument is that it is Thutmose I, her father, and that the text represents Hatshepsut's recollection of a time during her father's reign when she was acknowledged as the true heir to the throne. If this interpretation is correct, when Hatshepsut was crowned remains uncertain. If the unnamed ruler is Thutmose III, however, the inscription might be a record of the date when Hatshepsut was declared pharaoh. Block 287 of the chapel does not go on to describe the coronation of Hatshepsut. He was a child when his father, Thutmose II, died and his mother was not his father's royal wife, Hatshepsut, but a secondary wife outside of the royal lineage. Hatshepsut and her royal daughter by Thutmose II already held important positions in the religious and political administrations of the country. Another block on the opposite outer wall of the chapel, far from block 287, however, contains a third person narrative revealing the details of the coronation. Based on the presumed position on the chapel of the third block, far from block 287, it is possible that her coronation occurred much later than the events on block 287. Today, archaeologists hope that finding one of the missing blocks of the Chapel will help solve this mystery.

Another scene shows a pharaoh offering incense before two pavilions, each of which holds a sacred barque and shrine. On each side of the three shrines pictured, stand two statues of Hatshepsut in the form of Osiris. Later in the scene, the pharaoh steers a boat toward Deir el-Bahri. One interpretation of this relief is that the king is the living Thutmose III, and that by steering a barque containing the sacred emblems of Hatshepsut toward the site of her mortuary temple, he is officiating her movement into the realm of becoming a deity. If this interpretation is correct, the relief probably was carved under the auspices of Thutmose III after the death of Hatshepsut. Other archaeologists, however, have hypothesized that the pharaoh driving the boat is Hatshepsut. This interpretation makes sense, as the inscription bears the words “The Good God, Lady of the Two Lands, Daughter of Re, Hatshepsut,” and the pharaoh is pictured making offerings to Amun. Because it seems that Hatshepsut is making the offerings before the Chapel, it can be presumed that there were two mummiform, Osirian statues of Hatshepsut at the entrance, one standing on either side of the shrine when it was built.

Some blocks from the Chapel are decorated with three sets of scenes in which an unnamed God’s Wife of Amun is shown performing her duties. Because of the time period at which the chapel was built, it is likely that this God's Wife is Neferure, the daughter of Hatshepsut and Thutmose II. These scenes make clear that as God's Wife she had an important role in the temple and had to be present at the rituals performed there. These are duties that the royal queen would have performed if her husband were pharaoh. Since Hatshepsut was pharaoh, it is thought that her daughter assumed the role for her mother. One block shows the God's Wife and a priest performing a ritualistic burning of the names of Egypt's enemies in an attempt to destroy them. Another depicts the God's Wife watching Hatshepsut present dinner to the seventeen deities of Karnak. Yet another shows the God's Wife, as chief priestess, leading a group of male priests to the temple pool to be purified and then following Hatshepsut into the shrine in which she performed sacred rites in front of the statue of Amun. Because of these carvings on the walls of the Red Chapel, archeologists have been given an insight to the active role the God's Wife of Amun played in religious practices.

One relief carved in the blocks on the exterior sides of the chapel tells the story of an expedition to Aswan. Men were sent out by Hatshepsut to collect stone from the quarry there to bring back to Karnak. Reliefs depict the cutting out, moving, and erecting of obelisks. Archeologists have learned how obelisks were transported in Egypt from these carvings. Two obelisks are shown tied to sledges and towed on a sycamore wood barge toward Thebes by a fleet of twenty-seven boats powered by eight hundred and fifty oarsmen. The larger of the obelisks commemorated Hatshepsut's Sed festival, which occurred at approximately the same time as the Chapel was built in the sixteenth year of her reign. Hatshepsut then is depicted presenting the obelisks as a dedication to Amun.

Because it is known that Hatshepsut built the obelisks of the Wadjet Hall, the Palace of Ma’at, and the Eighth Pylon, among others, it has been presumed that the scenes on the Chapel show the creation and erection of some of these monuments. In the text that accompanies the relief, Hatshepsut asserts that her divine father, Amun, came to her and told her to raise the obelisks in dedication to him.

Along with these reliefs, the exterior façade of the Chapel was decorated with the parallel scenes of receiving the crowns of Hatshepsut and of Thutmose III. Shown with the same pointed nose that was characteristic of depictions of Hatshepsut, Thutmose III also is pictured participating in the processions of the Beautiful Feast of the Valley and the Opet Festival.

On the interior, however, Hatshepsut is the only ruler depicted. Representations of Thutmose III sometimes are accompanied by feminine pronouns and he is shown twice walking alongside Hatshepsut's soul, her ka. Thutmose III's mortuary temple also is depicted on the wall of the Chapel, providing evidence that the mortuary temple was built as early as the period of his co-regency with Hatshepsut. The lower base of the chapel was decorated with knotted plant-forms and kneeling Nile deities and female figures.

Destruction
After the pharaoh's death, Hatshepsut's Chapel was dismantled during the reign of Thutmose III. It originally was thought that the destruction of the chapel was part of the proscription of Hatshepsut that occurred beginning in year 42 of Thutmose III's reign. This was when he was an old man and during a co-regency with his son from a minor wife. That son would become Amenhotep II.

New research has shown evidence of additions to the top blocks of the shrine that show Thutmouse III without Hatshepsut and claiming the chapel as his own. This would imply that it was a completion of the chapel, that was unfinished after her death without any disturbance of the work completed by Hatshepsut.

Yet after his year 42—during his next co-regency with his son—Thutmose III's own building projects at Karnak such as the Hall of Annals deliberately conceal inscriptions and decoration relating to Hatshepsut and many decorations of Hatshepsut were erased. The blocks that have been found from the Chapel, however, show some random and incomplete erasures. Many of the blocks have no erasures on multiple sides. This phenomenon has caused some archeologists to believe that the attacks against the images of Hatshepsut occurred after the Red Chapel had been deconstructed and the blocks had been stacked so that they could be reused in other building projects.

Speculation exists that the workmen involved in the proscription did not take the time to examine every surface of the blocks when erasing, but just did away with all of the visible references to Hatshepsut on the surface they would display. Many surfaces would not have been visible in the new use, being interior to new walls. This led to the preservation of the original carvings that became interior parts of new walls. If this were true, it might mean that the Chapel was demolished before the proscription began, and that tearing it down was not part of Thutmose's attempt to persecute Hatshepsut's memory, but was justified as required for the practical purpose of making room for the larger barque shrine that he intended to put in the Red Chapel's place.

A similarly shaped granite barque shrine was constructed around year 46 of his reign during the co-regency with his son. It was covered with images of Amun that later were removed during the Amarna period by Akhenaten, another pharaoh who disdained the deity and the powerful priesthood that ran the country through the temple of Amun in Thebes. Except for the lack of need because of new placement that hid surfaces, the theory that the Chapel was not demolished maliciously also may be supported by the fact that Thutmose III and his son did not force the reliefs of Hatshepsut to be re-carved as were many of the other monuments.

The erasure of Hatshepsut reliefs from buildings usually occurred in three stages. The first was hacking the old image out with a chisel. Then, a fine implement was used to smooth the rough surface and remove the raised ridges. Finally, the wall was polished and carved anew. Because the sporadic cartouches and figures of Hatshepsut that were touched merely were removed and not replaced—aside from one cartouche on block 24 that was exchanged with the cartouche of Thutmose III’s nephew—it may be deduced that the erasures occurred after the shrine had been dismantled. As discussed at her article, his nephew is suspected of the greater destruction of the Hatshepsut works by some archeologists.

After it had been deconstructed, parts of the Red Chapel were used in the later building projects of other pharaohs at Karnak. The two black granite doorways of the chapel were placed in the main door to Thutmose III's north suite at the Palace of Ma’at and the door leading into the southern columned court in the Sixth Pylon. Amenhotep III also used some of the blocks from the Chapel in the construction of the Third Pylon, much later in the eighteenth dynasty.

The remaining blocks ended up being used in other monuments built at Karnak, for example in the foundation of the temple of Ptah, in the Ninth Pylon.

Reconstruction
Many of the blocks from the disassembled Chapel were rediscovered in the 1950s inside the walls of other structures. A reconstruction model of how the chapel probably looked during Hatshepsut's reign was completed in 1997 by a group of French and Egyptian restoration experts.

Today, over three hundred blocks from the chapel are displayed in their original context at the Open-Air Museum of Karnak.

Serangoon Junior College

Serangoon Junior College (SRJC) was a junior college in Singapore, offering a 2-year course for pre-university students leading up to GCE 'A' Level examinations. Founded in March 1988, it was the fourteenth junior college to be established in Singapore.

History
Serangoon Junior College was established in March 1988 as the fourteenth junior college in Singapore. The College initially operated from a temporary campus in Hougang, which is now the premises of Xinmin Secondary School, with a pioneering staff strength of 45 teachers. Lessons for the first batch of 673 students commenced in April of the same year. In December 1990, the College relocated to its present campus along Upper Serangoon Road, in Hougang New Town. It was officially declared open on 29 May 1992 by Mr. Lee Yock Suan, the then Minister for Education.

In recent years, the academic standards of Serangoon Junior College had been improving consistently, as it gained recognition as one of the leading government colleges in the district. This was complemented with the rise in admission standards of the college, from a cut-off point of 20 in the 1989 intake to 11 in the 2016 intake at the annual Joint Admission Exercise (JAE).

On 20 April 2017, it was announced that Serangoon Junior College would merge with Anderson Junior College (AJC), with the merged school located at the current site of Anderson Junior College, and operating under the name of Anderson Serangoon Junior College. This was in view of the declining enrollment into junior colleges since 2014, attributed to the fall in Singapore's birth rate. As a result of the merger, Serangoon Junior College no longer admit students from 2018 to minimise the need for students to physically relocate to the new site. The merger process is to be completed by January 2019.

To mark the closure of the College, a decommissioning ceremony was conducted on 7 December 2018. The College flag was lowered by its first Student of the Year from the pioneer class of 1989 - Tan Aik Fong.

Vision, mission, values
The vision, mission and values of SRJC was revised in 2016.

Vision – Leaders and Learners driven with values and imagination Mission – Inspiring all students to have the passion to learn, the heart to serve and the courage to lead. Values - Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Integrity, Care, Humility

Houses in SRJC
For competitive intra-school events, the student body is divided into five houses. Each house is led by House Captain(s) nominated from the Student Council.

The five houses are:

 * Aquila (Yellow Eagle)
 * Cetus (Purple Hydra/Sea Monster)
 * Draco (Red Dragon)
 * Orion (Blue Warrior)
 * Pegasus (Green Horse/Pegasus)

Academic information
Serangoon Junior College offered a two-year pre-university course leading to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level examinations, up to the 2017 intake.

The course offered in SRJC consisted of H1 General Paper, H1 Mother Tongue, H1 Project Work, together with four content-based subjects (3H2+1H1 or four H2 subjects). Students with a flair in an area were offered subjects at H3 level after the end of JC1 promotional exams, even though students taking those subjects need to travel to other places (usually universities) to take those subjects.

In line with the new 'A' Level syllabus stipulated by MOE, students are also required to take a contrasting subject that is outside their area of studies. The contrasting subject may be offered at either the H1 and H2 levels.

Subjects that were offered by SRJC is listed below: Compulsory Subjects (H1):
 * H1 Project Work
 * H1 General Paper

Arts/ Humanities/ Languages (H1):

User:PeteBleackley

I'm an astrophysicist who works as an engineer. I'm interested in science, languages, fantasy fiction, and constructed languages. I got interested in wikipedia due to the controversy about how conlangs should be covered, and have made a few contributions to the policy debate. I've also created articles about a few conlangs that I believe are significant contributions to the art, namely Lingua Ignota, Kēlen and Teonaht. I also added to the article on relexification to document the slightly divergent use of the term in the conlanging community, and added mentions of Lingua Ignota and to the articles on constructed languages and St Hildegard of Bingen. I also added a reference to an academic paper in the artistic languages article - somebody has since copied this reference over into the conlangs article.

Bike parts
In the article I mentioned that bike parts were originally used for the frames. This was something my surgeon told me. could someone confirm this?--Drawde83 10:28, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Yes this is true, he did originally use bike parts in his first frame to lengthen the stump of an amputee to help fit a new prosthesis but he quickly moved on to using parts modified from the towns tank factory. When the word spread and patients were arriving from all over Russia he had an arrangement where a member of the patients family would work in the factory making the parts in exchange for the patient receiving free treatment.(77.97.139.220 (talk) 23:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC))

Growth gain after puberty
It should be added that this is the only known method to increase growth after puberty. It is used in treatment of dwarfs. And some healthy rich and 'vertically challenged' people use it also : http://www.ilizarovheightincrease.com/procedure.html pwjbbb (talk) 07:55, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

What are the first two letters of the name Ilizarov?
Arial is a clean-looking typeface but the capital I (as in "India") and the lower case l (as in "letter") are identical, or identical to the average eye. So what are the first two letters of "Ilizarov"? After all, there are surnames such as "ffoliot" that have no initial capital letter, and there are many Welsh words that start with a double "l". Given this typeface problem, could someone who knows the answer spell it out in the article itself? Otherwise most of us are going to stumble over this name. UBJ 43X (talk) 16:52, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

 * The first two letters of the name in the NATO phonetic alphabet are "India Lima". I don't understand what the problem is; the article makes it clear that the apparatus was a Soviet invention, not a Welsh one, so it should be obvious that the name does not begin with two l's. Graham 87 01:15, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Picture Error?
One picture is captioned "Front (top) view with a view of the healthy leg. The patient is lying on his stomach." - it appears to me that the patient is in fact lying on his back and this photograph is upside down, showing as it does a surface (presumably a gurney) at the top of the image, but I may be mistaken? --Mclean007 (talk) 12:32, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Unusual Adoption Request
Hi! Im an English teacher in Toluca Mexico (west of Mexico City). My Advanced B classes will be contributing to Wikipedia as the focus of their English course for Fall 2007. I am looking for people who would like to mentor my students (who will be working in groups) as they do the following assignments: Edit and article (adding a citation), writing a stub with a citation, translating an English language article for Spanish Wikipedia and for the final project, writing a full article for English Wiki (they can expand on the stub mentioned previously). What I would like to do is put a list of "mentors/adopters" on my talk page as a kind of short cut for my students, who have limited time to get things done. The semester begings Aug 6, but the real Wikipedia work wont begin until the beginning of Sept.

Venue suggestion needed for a meet-up in Yuen Long

Dear:  ：

In the past meet-ups, we always had our meeting in the centre of Kowloon, either Kowloon Tong or Mong Kok. However, apart from these places, I am sure that alternative venues in other region would be suitable.

This is the time for your suggestion! According to some discussion on Chinese Wikipedia, from August of 2007, the Hong Kong Wikimedians’ meet-up would be held in all districts of Hong Kong in a circulation basis.

Here is the tentative information of the first meet-up：
 * Date： 11, August, 2007 (Saturday)
 * Time： After 5:00pm
 * Proposed region： Yuen Long

The community would request for ideas of where we should hold the meet-up , in order to have a better decision. If you have any good ideas, don’t hesitate to give your opinions, million thanks!

Salford Crescent railway station

Salford Crescent railway station is a railway station in Salford, Greater Manchester, England, opened by British Rail in 1987.

The station is 1 mi west of Salford Central, 1.75 mi west of Manchester Victoria and 2.25 mi west of Manchester Piccadilly. It consists of a single island platform with a ticket office and waiting room.

The station is near the University of Salford, between the Peel Park and Frederick Road Campus.

Salford Crescent is the point of a split in the Manchester–Preston line, with local services running on to Manchester Victoria and long-distance services going to Manchester Piccadilly (via the 1988 Windsor Link to Ordsall Lane Junction), and is also part of the line between Manchester and Southport, frequently being used as an interchange between the two lines. Manchester North signalling centre was formerly located at the station, prior to its closure in April 2015. Ticket gates have been in operation at the station since 2016.

Services
All services are operated by Northern Trains. As of December 2022, the typical weekday off-peak service is:

Northbound Southbound
 * 2tph to Blackpool North
 * 2tph to Southport
 * 2tph to Blackburn via Bolton, with 1tph continuing to Clitheroe
 * 1tph to Headbolt Lane
 * 1tph to Wigan Wallgate
 * 2tph to Manchester Airport
 * 1tph to Manchester Oxford Road
 * 1tph to Stalybridge
 * 2tph to Rochdale
 * 1tph to Leeds
 * 1tph to Blackburn via Manchester Victoria and Rochdale

Services are significantly reduced on Sundays, with 1 train per hour to each of Blackpool North, Southport, Clitheroe, Wigan North Western, Stalybridge, Blackburn via Manchester Victoria and Manchester Airport.

Engineering work on the heavily delayed Manchester–Preston line electrification project saw all weekend services here suspended (and replaced by buses) for much of 2017-18 (through trains being diverted via Eccles and the West Coast Main Line) - these blockades continued until November 2018. Electric services commenced on Monday 11 February 2019 utilising electric multiple units.

Connecting bus routes
Salford Crescent is served by Stagecoach Manchester's service 50, a cross-city bus service between East Didsbury and MediaCityUK. Services 8, 31, 36, 37, 67 and 100 also stop outside the station and run to Manchester, terminating at either Piccadilly Gardens or Shudehill Interchange. Services also head towards Bolton, Eccles, Swinton, Pendlebury, Trafford Centre, Warrington and Farnworth.

Improvements
In 2007, Network Rail recognised that Salford Crescent could not cope with existing passenger levels, leading to platform overcrowding. It suggested expansion of the station with extra platforms, greater use of it as an interchange and use as a terminus for services from east of Manchester. It also raised the possibility of moving the station.

In 2012, improvement work started at the station, including platform extensions, a new rain canopy and the relocation of the ticket office to street level. The works were completed in October 2013 and officially opened by Mayor of Salford, Ian Stewart.

On 25 May 2023, it was announced that a third platform would be added.

Electrification

Although it does not include the line via Atherton to Wigan, the main line connecting Manchester stations to Preston and Blackpool passing through Salford Crescent has been electrified. The physical-civil engineering work was hit by a number of delays which delayed its completion by two years. The first electric test trains ran on the night of 13 December 2018, and the first electric passenger services commenced in early February 2019, utilising Class 319 electric multiple units.

Facilities
The station's ticket office is staffed throughout the week (06:30 to 21:45 weekdays and Saturdays, 09:10 to 16:00 on Sundays) and there is a self-service ticket machine in the booking hall. A waiting room, digital information screens and automated announcements are provided at platform level. Step-free access is via a lift from the road bridge and ticket hall (there is also a staircase to the platform).

Talk:Candelaria, Quezon

Conversion into a city
I think a municipality cannot simply change its name, that is, by appending the word 'City' and due to its population alone. To become a city, it must meet all the qualifications/requirements prescribed by the law including annual income, land area, etc. I'm just wondering if a bill has already been filed in the congress to effect the conversion of Candelaria into a city.
 * You're right, there's more to it than just changing the name. It has to be approved my congress, and it can only be approved if it has a population of 100,000 and a certain level of income. Whether or not a bill has been filed, I don't know.. Coffee 11:33, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Why will Candelaria wish to become a city, I wonder? What advantages can it get over what it has now in all aspects of a municipality's concern? What disadvantages are there facing the town and its people?^^^^ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.28.255.179 (talk) 18:09, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Stillage

A stillage is like a pallet or skid, but with a cage or sides, or some form of support specifically tailored to the material it is intended to carry. Some are designed to be stackable.

Stillages are mainly used to transport goods, raise products off the ground, and can help to separate goods in transit without the need to load and unload the product being carried, which saves time and decreases the chance of damage. An example is the use of stillages in glass manufacturing, where they are shaped like an upright "A"; the plate glass leans inward and is strapped to the stillage ready for transport.

Stillages are usually manufactured using steel, and are a popular storage and logistic solution in the following fields: engineering, automotive, warehousing, and logistics. For return logistics, demounted stillages, or "post pallets" as they are also often referred to, help to occupy minimal vehicle space, helping to reduce transportation costs.

Beverage and alcohol field
A stillage is any device on which a cask of ale is placed for service.

Unlike kegs, which can be simply stood upright on the floor, casks are used lying on their sides. This allows the beer to run from the tap under gravity, with room in the "belly" of the cask below the outlet for the finings to collect. The shive with the spile will then be the highest point on the cask. As the beer clears (see finings), the inside of the cask becomes coated with sediment. It is important that the stillage holds the cask absolutely still with no rocking or shaking; otherwise, the sediment will be shaken into suspension and the beer will be cloudy.

A stillage need not be complicated – anything that will support a cask (preferably on three points to avoid any wobbling) will do. At temporary events, sturdy tables or frames made of scaffolding and planks might be used, with the casks placed on wooden wedges (two at the front, one at the back). By contrast, many pub cellars use specially-made steel racking, often with two rows of casks, one above the other. Some pubs have brick or stone stillages, sometimes quite ancient, built into the wall of the cellar.

As the cask empties, it needs to be gently tilted to obtain the last of the beer. With wooden wedges, moving the rear wedge forward will achieve this; purpose-built metal units often have springs incorporated that automatically tilt the cask as it becomes lighter. This requires less effort from bar staff, and also helps beer quality – the lift is so smooth and gradual that there is no danger of stirring up the lees and making the beer cloudy.

Mary Donaldson, Lady Donaldson of Lymington

Dorothy Mary Donaldson, Baroness Donaldson of Lymington (née Warwick; 29 August 1921 – 4 October 2003), previously known as Dame Mary Donaldson, was the first female Lord Mayor of London (1983–84).

Born at Wickham, Hampshire, the daughter of an ironmonger and a school teacher, Donaldson trained as a nurse during the war and qualified in 1946.

From 1967 to 1969, she chaired the Women's National Cancer Control Campaign, and then served as the vice president of the British Cancer Council. In 1966, she was elected a member of the City of London Court of Common Council, and became the first female alderman in 1975, the first female Sheriff of the City of London in 1981 and in 1983 the first female Lord Mayor.

"'Of course there are things which men can do better than women ... But equally, women have attributes which men can never possess. Personally, I find it difficult not to become over-involved in issues concerning people', Donaldson once commented."

Donaldson chaired the Interim Licensing Authority for Human In Vitro Fertilisation and Embryology (see Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority) from 1985 and then was a member of the Press Complaints Commission from 1991 to 1996. She remained the only female Lord Mayor of the City of London until the election of Fiona Woolf in 2013.

Amakasu Incident

The Amakasu Incident (甘粕事件) was the murder of two prominent Japanese anarchists and their young nephew by military police, led by Lieutenant Amakasu Masahiko, in September 1923. The victims were Ōsugi Sakae, an informal leader of the Japanese anarchist movement, together with the anarcha-feminist Itō Noe (his lover), and Ōsugi's six-year-old nephew.

During the chaos that followed the catastrophic 1923 Great Kantō earthquake, Japanese authorities killed many dissidents and ethnic Koreans in what became known as the Kantō Massacre. Itō, Ōsugi, and his nephew were arrested on 16 September. According to writer and activist Jakucho Setouchi, Itō, Ōsugi, and his 6-year-old nephew were arrested, beaten to death, and thrown into an abandoned well by a squad of military police led by Lieutenant Masahiko Amakasu. According to literary scholar Patricia Morley, Itō and Ōsugi were strangled in their cells. Both accounts agree that both or all of the prisoners were brutally executed without a trial, where convictions and death sentences for the two adults would have been almost guaranteed. These killings, which became known as the Amakasu Incident, sparked widespread anger. The historian John Crump argued that "once again, the most able anarchist of his generation had been murdered," echoing the execution of Kōtoku Shūsui in the High Treason Incident just twelve years prior.

While many were outraged in Japan, thousands signed petitions requesting leniency on Amakasu's behalf. The murders drew attention in the United States, since the child was a dual-national with American citizenship, having been born in Portland, Oregon. Efforts to get the American Embassy involved were unsuccessful. One embassy official made a brief statement on the case. "'In the case, even, of an unquestioned American citizen involved in trial in a foreign court, the law of that country must take its course, and we can only be interested in seeing that the trial is fair and the law impartially applied.'"Amakasu and four other Imperial Japanese Army soldiers were court-martialed for the murders. During the trial, Amakasu's lawyers tied the murder to soldierly duties, and the ideals of spontaneity, sincerity, and pure motives. They argued that Sakae and Noe were traitors, and Amakasu killed them out of an irresistible urge to protect his country. As for the murder of the child, they argued that this was still justifiable for the public good. Many in the courtroom sympathized with these arguments, with spectators loudly calling Amakasu a "kokushi" (hero). The judge did nothing to intervene. Even the military prosecutor, while unwilling to accept the defense's arguments as an excuse, was sympathetic. Believing that Amakasu had merely acted excessively, he said the officer's patriotism "brought tears into one's eyes". As such, he demanded only 15 years in prison with hard labour for Amakasu, and lesser punishments for the other defendants.

The judge was even more lenient. Amakasu was sentenced to ten years in prison with hard labour, and IJA sergeant Keijiro Mori was sentenced to three years in prison with hard labour as an accomplice. The other three men were acquitted, two on the grounds of superior orders, and the other due to insufficient evidence. In August 1924, Amakasu's sentence was reduced to 7 years and six months. Amakasu was released due to an amnesty in October 1926. He studied in France and became a special agent for the Imperial Japanese Army in Manchuria. When Japan surrendered in August 1945, he committed suicide by means of potassium cyanide.

Talk:Parallel import

Adding a section about imported media (films)
There already is a page about Parallel importing in video games but nothing here about other media like films. Parallel imports are used because locally only an edited versions of the media is sold (for example "censoring" of violence due to cultural differences).

Also using foreign movie streaming services with VPN could meet the definition as well. 2A02:810B:C040:1DF4:482A:FFF1:83C1:31A8 (talk) 12:04, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
