Puzzle Bobble 3

Puzzle Bobble 3 (also known as Bust-A-Move 3) is an action puzzle video game developed by Taito. The second sequel to Puzzle Bobble, it was released for arcades in September 1996 and later ported to the Sega Saturn, PlayStation, Game Boy, Nintendo 64 and Microsoft Windows. Like its predecessors, the player is tasked with shooting balls at groups of balls, creating groups of three or more, which are then removed from play. Further ports for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were released in February 2023 by City Connection alongside Puzzle Bobble 2.

The version of the game for the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 featured refreshed graphics and new features. It was released as Bust-A-Move 3 DX in Europe (versions for the Game Boy and Microsoft Windows were exclusively released there) and Bust-A-Move 99 in the United States. In Japan, the Nintendo 64 port was released as Puzzle Bobble 64, while the PlayStation version was released as Puzzle Bobble 3 DX.

Gameplay
The game completely abandons the idea of previous titles that the playfield is being pushed down by some sort of mechanical device and instead attaches groups of bubbles to nodes that move downwards. When a node is no longer connected to any bubbles, it will disappear and when all nodes in a level have vanished the level is complete. As a result, shooting a bubble to the top of the visible playfield without striking any bubbles causes it to bounce and travel back downwards. The player is not penalised if such bubbles again leave the playing field without attaching to anything (except for adding to the number of moves until the field is pushed down by one empty line). Despite this, some versions include a reimplementation of the Puzzle Bobble 2 levels now built around nodes (entitled Version 2.5).

Gameplay is further varied by the implementation of new scrolling playfields that are several times as high as the screen and must be conquered as an endurance event. Each scrolling playfield occupies the same space on the world map as five previous levels.

This game also marks the introduction of rainbow bubbles into the series - bubbles that are initially transparent and filled with a rainbow. If an adjoining bubble is burst, the rainbow bubbles switch to the colour of the burst bubble, allowing the player to build up chain reactions.

The ability to choose a character was introduced, but only to the VS Computer mode. As in Bubble Bobble, the first player controls Bub, and the second player controls Bob. In the Nintendo 64 version, a four-player-simultaneous option is available.

Release
Puzzle Bobble 3's developer, Taito, also published the game in Japan. The U.S. division of Acclaim Entertainment, which held the rights to publish Taito's games in the Western hemisphere, had dropped support for the Sega Saturn in mid-1997, so the Saturn version was published in North America by Natsume Inc. instead. However, Acclaim's European division published the Saturn version in PAL territories.

Promotion
The game was showcased at the JAMMA 96 along with Fighter's Impact and G-Darius.

Reception
In Japan, Game Machine listed Puzzle Bobble 3 on their January 1, 1997 issue as being the seventh most-successful arcade game of the month.

The Saturn port received moderately positive reviews, with critics voicing approval for the introduction of multiple playable characters with their own individual abilities,  the vast number of levels included in the collection mode,    and the intensity of the multiplayer gameplay. However, most questioned whether the game's improvements to the series formula were enough to warrant a purchase for gamers who already owned Bust-a-Move 2. GamePro found the reuse of the previous installment's soundtrack and the limited changes to the gameplay in particular doused much of the excitement for the game. Next Generation disagreed, asserting that "it's arguable that the formula Taito and Natsume hit on with the Bust-A-Move series needs no major improvements and is sure to please any puzzle fanatic. A must-have classic game."

Sega Saturn Magazine concluded that while the game's one-player modes lack sufficient longevity, they are highly enjoyable, and the two-player mode makes Bust-a-Move 3 a great purchase for puzzle fans. While Dan Hsu of Electronic Gaming Monthly argued that the Bust-a-Move games are mindless compared to other action puzzlers, his three co-reviewers all found the game to be great fun, and felt the enhancements were enough to make it worthwhile for veterans of the series. Kraig Kujawa summed up that "This game has about everything one could ask for from a sequel that keeps the original gameplay intact."

Electronic Gaming Monthly named Bust-a-Move 3 "Puzzle Game of the Year" at their 1997 Editors' Choice Awards, citing its accessibility and addictiveness. GamePro later named the PlayStation Version of Bust-A-Move 99 a second runner-up for "9th Annual GamePro Readers' Choice Awards" for "Best Brain Game", which went to Mario Party.

Laodice I Princess of Syria
OR; cf Laodice I. Not useful redirect Septentrionalis 17:54, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

weak keep tell us more information .... dates would be useful ... as it stands the article is uninformative, can it be expanded? Rhyddfrydol 21:06, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * revise vote to delete there is Wikipedia policy not to include biographical details of fictious persons I believe. Thanks for the extra info Rhyddfrydol 23:26, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * No vote (for now) there is certainly nonsense here, this article claims Laodice was daughter of Laodice I and mother of Laodice of Pontus. Yet, the article on Laodice of Pontus claims that these same women were sisters. Yet, this tends to bear out this current article. Septentrionalis, can you explain what is going on here? I think we need some expertise to settle this one. --Doc (?) 22:32, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The writer invented a new history of Syria, including ruling queens who never ruled, and descents that never existed. The five women dabbed under Laodice appear to be real, and their contents check out with standard classical encyclopedias. This is a figment. Compare the original version of Laodice I Queen of Syria, which I salvaged as a useful redirect Septentrionalis 22:44, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * OK I'm satisfied that Septentrionalis knows something about Hellenistic History - so unless someone provides evidence to refute him/her (and I think that unlikely) safest thing to do is delete. Hope some more folk vote, because if this is bogus, a 'keep no consensus' would be disastrous. --Doc (?) 22:49, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete looks like a hoax based on the other WP articles on the subject Sam Vimes 11:35, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Franz Joseph (artist)

Franz Joseph (born Franz Anton Joseph Schnaubelt; June 29, 1914 – June 2, 1994) was an artist and author loosely associated with the 1960s American television show Star Trek.

Career
Born in Illinois, Franz Joseph had a successful 30-year career as an aerospace design engineer. However, he is perhaps best known as the author and illustrator of  Star Fleet Technical Manual (ISBN 0-345-34074-4), which, though fictional, represents an in-universe collection of factual documents, detailing the 23rd century Star Fleet of the United Federation of Planets, as well as the function of the Starship U.S.S. Enterprise relative to the other starships in the fleet. The book contains information about uniforms (complete with sewing patterns), furniture, weapons, devices, protocols, and other minutiae from the Star Trek universe. Franz Joseph is also the author and illustrator of another in-universe document, Booklet of General Plans of the USS Enterprise (ISBN 0-345-25821-5, unofficially known as the Star Trek Blueprints), which is to date the only set of blueprints of the original Enterprise ever officially endorsed by Paramount Pictures, owners of the licensing rights to all things Star Trek.

On April 14, 1973, Franz Joseph witnessed a group of Star Trek fans at San Diego State University making (in his judgment) poor models of Star Trek memorabilia from various materials, and told them that he thought they could do better. In response, the fans challenged him to make better models than they had made, so Joseph set to work using a process of reverse orthographic drafting to create better models than the fans had. The fans were greatly impressed by his work and started asking him to convert many of the props to plans, essentially asking him to make a "technical manual" of Star Trek devices. Franz Joseph decided right then to make this manual. After making several technical plans for the Starship Enterprise and several supplemental Federation starships, Franz Joseph sent two of the plans (the plans for the Enterprise and the Dreadnought starship) to Gene Roddenberry, who immediately gave Franz approval to create an official Star Trek Technical Manual.

Franz Joseph decided that the manual would be "technically and scientifically correct". Franz himself has stated that his intention in drawing the plans was to elucidate the ship's design rather than to accurately depict exactly what viewers saw on their television screens. As a result, there are multiple minor discrepancies between Franz's plans and the filming miniatures that were used in the show, all of which are intentional, and made in the interest of establishing greater continuity. This approach was chosen due to the fact that Star Trek contains elements that were never seen on-screen, and the fact that even on-screen information is often contradictory.

The plans went on to gain immense popularity and were regarded by the US Department of Education, the National Geographic Society, Grumman Aircraft, and NASA as a topic of discussion.

Although they were published after the original show's cancellation, portions of both the Star Trek Blueprints and the Star Fleet Technical Manual have been used as on-screen displays in the Star Trek films and later television series.

Lou Zocchi designed and published the Star Fleet Battle Manual (1977) set of miniatures rules, which he licensed from Franz Joseph. Despite the fact that the violent nature of a starship combat game made Joseph apprehensive, Stephen V. Cole eventually persuaded Joseph to agree to a license so that Task Force Games could publish Star Fleet Battles (1979).

As an unexpected legacy, Franz Joseph's blueprint and book are responsible for beginning the subgenre revolving around the blueprints and schematics of fictional vehicles and locations from Star Trek: The drawings inspired fans to create their own unofficial blueprints of other invented spacecraft intended to fit into the Star Trek idiom.

AbeBooks

AbeBooks is an e-commerce global online marketplace with seven websites that offer books, fine art, and collectables from sellers in over 50 countries. Launched in 1996, it specialises in used, rare and out-of-print books. AbeBooks has been a subsidiary of Amazon since 2008.

History
In 1995, AbeBooks was founded by Rick and Vivian Pura, and Keith and Cathy Waters. It was incorporated in 1995 and launched its websites in 1996, initially including listings for only four bookstores. The company name "Abebooks" is derived from their original name, "Advanced Book Exchange". From the late 1990s to 2005, AbeBooks had reseller agreements with eBay, Half.com, Barnes & Noble.com, BibliOZ.com and Amazon.com, allowing AbeBooks to market and sell booksellers' books through those channels; these agreements were dissolved in 2005. AbeBooks currently has a reseller agreement only with Amazon.com.

In 2001, AbeBooks acquired Germany's JustBooks GmbH online book marketplace, which helped the company expand into the German, French and British online bookselling markets. In 2002, the founding partners were bought out by German media company Hubert Burda Media. In 2004, the company expanded its model to include new books, and acquired the Spanish company IberLibro, to better serve Spanish language markets. In 2005, it acquired BookFinder.com, an American book price comparison service. In 2006, the company acquired Fillz, a book-inventory and order-management company, and purchased a 40% stake in LibraryThing in May, a social networking and book cataloging website for bibliophiles.

In June 2008 AbeBooks was awarded the British Columbia Technology Industry Association Impact Award for Leadership in Social Responsibility for its charitable activities, literacy initiatives, and commitment to environmental friendliness in its business practices.

In December 2008, the company was sold to Amazon. In May 2010 it launched the AbeBooks Channel Program to provide its booksellers with the opportunity to list their books for sale on Amazon.com. The Channel Program was permanently closed on June 16, 2014.

In 2016 Arkady Vitrouk was appointed CEO. He was previously the director of Kindle Content in Amazon's European headquarters in Luxembourg. Prior to joining Amazon, he was the CEO of the Azbooka-Atticus Publishing Group in Russia. In 2018, the company announced it would no longer fully support sellers from a number of countries, including South Korea, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. Several hundred other sellers pulled their inventories from the AbeBooks site in protest.

In 2020 Kerry Wright was appointed GM/CEO. He was previously the CTO of Abe Books from 2017 to 2020, and before that was a software development manager there from 2010 to 2017.

AbeBooks is headquartered in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, with its European office in Düsseldorf, Germany. The company manages regional websites for North America, France, Germany, Italy, the UK and Spain. Most of its inventory consists of used books, including rare, signed, first editions or out of print books. It has been named one of British Columbia's Top Employers every year since 2008.

Most expensive sales
In February 2015 ABE recorded its most expensive sales up to that time: a rare illustrated ornithology book was sold on behalf of one of its dealers for $191,000. Other highend sales included Areopagitica: A Speech for the Liberty of Unlicenc'd Printing To the Parliament of England by John Milton for $65,000 and The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, also for $65,000. The website periodically reports their recent high value sales.

Searchable inventory
AbeBooks' users can search across the listings of many independent bookstores, thereby allowing small, independent players to compete with bookselling superstores. Some of the member bookstores offer their books online only, while others also maintain a regular storefront.

Booksellers upload their inventory data to the AbeBooks database, specifying information about each book including condition and price. Prices are fixed (with US$1 being the minimum) and there are no auctions. Items available range from the extremely common, where there might be hundreds of copies listed, to first editions and signed books worth thousands of dollars. In addition to books, the marketplace also offers periodicals and journals, fine art such as prints and posters, vintage photographs, maps, sheet music and paper ephemera such as postcards, letters and other documents.

Sellers
Sellers pay a monthly subscription to list their books on the site, ranging from $25 to $500, depending on how many books they list. This subscription fee has been in place since at least April 2008. In addition, sellers pay a percentage fee for each book sold via the websites.

AbeBooks initially offered its services for a flat listings fee, based on the number of titles listed for sale. The model was changed in the early 2000s to include a commission on sales. In April 2006 AbeBooks started mandatory processing of MasterCard and Visa credit card transactions on behalf of its sellers and added a 5.5% charge for the provision of this service: previously this service had been optional. In 2008, AbeBooks started charging a commission of 13.5% on the cost of postage as well as the book price. Currently (2013) the commission charge is set at 8% of postage and book price.

Sellers can, within limits, set their own standard postage rates to various countries or by different carriers. Booksellers can upload their inventory using their own spreadsheet software or via the site's interface. Items that sell are mailed directly from the individual bookseller's location. Some booksellers have new books directly mailed from wholesalers or publishers. Most booksellers who list on AbeBooks also list their books on similar marketplaces such as Amazon.com.

Websites
AbeBooks's localized storefronts, which differ in language and currency, are differentiated by top-level domain and country code:

Similar websites include BookFinder.com and LibraryThing.

Else Hirsch

Else Hirsch (29 July 1889 – 1942 or 1943) was a Jewish teacher in Bochum, Germany, and a member of the German Resistance against the Third Reich. She organized transports of Jewish children to the Netherlands and England, saving them from Nazi deportation to concentration camps and death. Hirsch perished in the Riga Ghetto, at the age of 53 or 54.

Biography
Born in Bützow, in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Hirsch came from Berlin to Bochum at the end of 1926 and lived with her mother. She had taken an exam to qualify as a teacher of older children, but was unemployed and was assigned (and required) to teach at the Jewish school. She was initially less than pleased with this but soon threw herself into her work. In her free time, Hirsch worked at the Bochum Jewish Women's Club and gave Hebrew lessons to girls until these activities were stopped by the Nazis in autumn 1933.

In October 1937, she took a course in English at the Reichsvertretung der Deutschen Juden in Berlin to be able to give English lessons to those who might be able to emigrate. She travelled to Palestine in June 1938.

On 11 November 1938, Reichskristallnacht, the Bochum synagogue was burned down. The Jewish school was also destroyed by the SA. Afterward, all of the official representatives of the Jewish community were deported. Hirsch fought to have the school reopened, but it stayed open only for a short while. Hirsch began to organize transports for children and adolescents in arrangement with the Jewish Reichsvertretung. Between December 1938 and August 1939, she organized ten children's transports to the Netherlands and England. Hirsch took care of all the travel preparations, filling out lengthy forms, registering the children, gathering required documents, sending papers to London, securing exit visas, reserving seating on the trains, buying the tickets and staying in close touch with the parents.

She stayed with the remaining pupils as the only Jewish teacher until the school was closed in September 1941. Emigration for Jews was prohibited after 1941. In late January 1942, Hirsch and some of her pupils were deported to the Riga Ghetto. A surviving pupil reports that for a short while she continued to teach children. She also organized meals for weakened people and the elderly. The last time when the surviving student saw her, she was collecting nettles and dandelion leaves to cook as vegetables for the seniors. She was killed in 1942 or 1943.

Quote
Hirsch wrote in the poetry album of a pupil, "Judge not the worth of men / after just one peep / Up above are but ripples / to probe, one must dig deep."

Legacy
Streets in Bochum and Bad Lausick are named after her. There is a stolperstein for Hirsch at Huestraße 28 in Bochum, Germany, where she taught from 1927 to 1941.

Yukio Kagayama

Yukio Kagayama (加賀山就臣) is a Japanese professional motorcycle road racer. He began his motorcycle racing career competing in the Japanese national championships before racing internationally in Grand Prix motorcycle racing, the Superbike World Championship as well as in the British Superbike Championship. Kagayama raced Suzuki motorcycles for the majority of his career.

Motorcycle racing career
Kagayama was born in Yokohama Japan. He began motorcycle racing in 1990, competing for many years in the All Japan Road Race Championship, finishing fourth in 2001. He also contested four 250 cc World Championship races in 1997 and 1998, finishing in the top 8 in all four races.

In 2003 he raced in the British Superbike Championship for Rizla Suzuki, alongside double British champion John Reynolds, and had won three races when he crashed heavily at Cadwell Park. He returned for the start of 2004, finishing 3rd in the championship despite not being at full fitness early in the season (a further crash caused a broken collarbone).

For he joined  Superbike World Champion Troy Corser in the Belgian-based Alstare Suzuki team in the Superbike World Championship, and won races on the GSX-R1000, riding on largely unfamiliar circuits against some of the world's top riders. He finished 5th overall, and did enough to retain his ride for. In the first race, he collided with Noriyuki Haga while battling for the lead on the final lap. He then had a run of poor results, before taking a third and a fourth at Misano, and then an impressive double win from the second row at Brno, nearly doubling his points total in one weekend. He came 7th overall in the series.

In 2006 he raced in the final round of the All Japan Road Race Championship at Suzuka as a wild card and won the race. In he remained at Suzuki, but missed four rounds through injury. He finished the season ranked 13th. Also in 2007, Kagayama teamed up with Kousuke Akiyoshi to win the prestigious Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race for Suzuki. For 2008 he switched his racing number to #34, as used by former 500 cc World Champion Kevin Schwantz. Again he had an injury-hit season, and was easily the lowest-placed of the three works Suzuki riders in the standings.

In 2010 Kagayama returned to the British Superbike Championship riding for the Worx Suzuki team. His teammate was Tommy Hill. He finished 15th overall with one podium finish.

In 2011 Kagayama launched his own team "Team Kagayama" for a full season in the JSB (Japanese Superbike) class of the All Japan Road Race Championship. He is the owner and sole rider for the team, and the team's bike is the Suzuki GSX-R1000. Kagayama could not record a win this season and ended up 4th in the championship.

Kagayama and the team are in the 2012 championship as well and recorded a win in the 6th round at Sugo. It was the first win for Kagayama since his full-season comeback to Japan in 2011 as well as for Team Kagayama since its launch the same year.

Unionville High School (Ontario)

Unionville High School is a public high school of the York Region District School Board in Ontario, Canada. It is located west of the community of Unionville in the city of Markham. The school is located next to the Markham Civic Centre and the Markham Theatre.

Unionville High School is most well known for its enriched arts program, Arts Unionville (formerly known as Arts York). The school was purpose-built to house this regional arts program, therefore it has enhanced arts facilities. Arts Unionville is divided into 4 categories: visual arts, music, dance, and drama. To determine if they will be a good fit for the program, grade eight to nine students are required to audition and participate in a wide-ranging conversation to determine. It is possible to enter the program in the upper grades, as well, if there is room.

History
In the mid-1970s, Superintendent Stephen Bacsalmsi proposed the idea of an advanced arts program for the region. The Ontario government accepted the idea, but needed to wait for a new high school to be built. When Unionville High School was under construction, the government decided it was a prime opportunity to initiate the program. The school was finished and opened to the public in 1985, with the schools west wing constructed in the Spring of 2002.

Unionville High School also became the first school outside the United States to participate in the Apple Digital Campus Curriculum (ADCC) in 2002.

In 2005, Sheila Hetherington and Jerry Berridge, teachers in the history and tech departments, were recipients of the Governor General's Awards for Excellence in Teaching Canadian History. In 2006, the same two teachers later received the Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching Excellence. For the 2007-08 teaching year, Donna McAdam was a recipient of the Premier's Awards for Teaching Excellence. The two documentaries created during this course, When We Were Young and Never Shall We Forget, were of broadcast standard and aired on TVO.

Facilities
The facilities at Unionville High include a visual arts room, communication/media lab, construction lab, design and technology lab, dance studios, music rooms, music practice rooms, drama rooms, a black box theatre, family studies labs, a photography blackroom, science labs, a resource centre, classrooms, a guidance office, two gymnasiums, two outdoor fields, an outdoor track, a weight room, washrooms and shower facilities, student cafeteria with microwaves and vending machines, a student council office, a yearbook office, student parking facilities, a staff dining room, and staff workrooms.

There are approximately 300 computers in the school, divided between 9 computer labs. Notably, two of the computer labs employ Apple computers, as a part of the Apple Digital Campus.

While officially being two separate properties, the school as well as the Markham Theatre are connected via a tunnel. The theatre occasionally hosts school assemblies as well as interdisciplinary performances from the Arts Unionville program, most notably the annual Showtime music theatre production and the collaborative Alchemy performance.

Arts Unionville program
Arts Unionville, formally known as Arts York, is a four-year program that high school students take concurrently with the mainstream academic program. The high school enrols students from all over the Greater Toronto Area. In 2010, due to school board changes, Arts York was forced to change their program name to Arts Unionville and will only take students from the Markham area, except for piano and stringed instruments. Class 2012 was the last year of Arts York. However, in the 2009–10 school year, the program was renamed "Arts Unionville" Shortly after, the York Region District School Board removed funding for busing, thus eliminating transportation means for long-distance students attending the program. As a result, students were forced to drop out. The decision was protested by many parents and students, and after hiring a lawyer, they settled out of court to have funding for bus transportation reinstated for the rest of the 2008–2009 school year. Students living in areas not around Unionville were expected to attend arts schools in their own districts. As a result, the pool of talent for these programs has declined.

Musical arts
The Musical Arts department is the biggest section of Arts Unionville at Unionville High School. There are four classrooms for music situated in the east wing of the school directly adjacent to the underground link to the Markham Theatre. With its strategic placement, it is often said amongst faculty, staff, and students that the Music department is located in its own east wing.

The Arts Unionville Music program is separated into six categories: piano, winds, strings, vocal, brass, and percussion.

Visual arts
The Visual Arts program provides opportunities for individual creative and imaginative growth as well as development of technical skills. In this program, students are introduced to both traditional and experimental perspectives in painting and drawing. They will also be specializing in sculpture, photography, digital, printmaking (etching and silkscreen), and video. Students will also study art history and will learn to critically analyze their own work, enabling the students to discover individual strengths and directions. For the purpose of developing the aptitudes of talented students interested in the Visual Arts, programs are offered in all four years.

Dramatic arts
The Drama Department explores university level dramatic arts. Disciplines such as mask, mime, clown and Shakespeare are presented to the actors and explored through self-discovery.

Dance arts
Dance arts is another popular program in Arts Unionville. This program focuses on the development of creativity, artistry, and technique needed to improve dance expression. Students in this program are given opportunities to participate in dance programs such as Dance Infusion, Dance Access, and The Nutcracker productions in December staged by the National Ballet of Canada.

Academic achievement
Students at Unionville High School has in recent years performed very well in academics, whether it be in compulsory provincial testing, or in extra-curricular academic competitions. Academically, the Fraser institute 2014 Report Card gave the high school a rating of 9.5/10 and a rank of second out of 740 schools in Ontario, and sixth out of 690 schools in Ontario over the past five years. When the Fraser Institute originally began publishing report on Ontario secondary schools in 2001, Unionville was rated at 8.9/10 and ranked at 36 out of 568 schools and 21 out of 349 in Ontario.

Provincial assessment
Each year, Grade 9 students across Ontario are issued province-wide standardized tests in Mathematics. The tests themselves are administered by the Ontario Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO). The Mathematics assessment is graded under the Ontario rubric, where level 3 is considered the provincial standard, and level 4 is considered above the provincial standard. In the 2012–13 academic year:
 * 34% of Unionville students, enrolled in the academic program, scored level 4 in EQAO Math Assessment (only 13% of all students in Ontario achieved this standard).
 * 97% of Unionville students, enrolled in the academic program, scored level 3 or above in EQAO Math Assessment (only 84% of Ontario students achieved this standard).

In addition to the Grade 9 mathematics assessment, EQAO also administers the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test, a standardized test for high school students in Ontario who wish to graduate from an Ontario secondary school and obtain their Ontario Secondary School Diploma. The test is written every year on the last Thursday of March in all public secondary schools including Unionville. In the 2009 testing:
 * 96% of Unionville students who were taking the test for the first time passed the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test, (compared to an 82% success rate for the province as a whole).

Extra-curricular competitions
The school itself has also formed extra-curricular clubs or teams to compete in academic competitions such as the national Reach for the Top trivia game show and the Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA). Several students representing the school have been sent to represent the province in international DECA competitions, and in some cases, achieving stellar results during the competition. Students also have the opportunity to compete in the Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge (COMC) each year as individuals and as a part of the school team each year.

Sports
Besides the school's arts programs, the school also has a respectable athletics program competing in the York Region Athletic Association and OFSAA. Following are some of the sports in which the school participates:

 * Basketball - Jr./Sr. Boys Jr./Sr. Girls
 * Volleyball - Jr./Sr. Boys Jr./Sr. Girls
 * Ice Hockey - Jr./Sr. Boys, Girls
 * Girls Field Hockey
 * Girls Slowpitch
 * Ultimate Frisbee

 * Curling
 * Mountain Biking
 * Badminton
 * Golf
 * Boys and Girls Soccer

 * Indoor Rock Climbing

A notable member of the Unionville High School hockey team was Cody Hodgson, who played for the Vancouver Canucks and the Buffalo Sabres in the NHL. An autographed jersey can be found in the school.

Clubs
The school is home to many clubs, although the number of clubs and their continuance varies per academic year. Some of the more longstanding clubs would include:

 * UHS Robotics Team (Wolfpack) - FRC, FTC, VEX, Ontario Skills, YRSC

Talk:Quakers/Archive 2

Theologically liberal? Theologically conservative? What do these terms mean?
I am uncomfortable with the characterization of evangelical Friends as "theologically conservative" and of unprogrammed-meeting Friends as "theologically liberal". "Conservative" and "liberal" here seem to be referring to correlations about political views, which don't seem particularly theological to me. To some FGC friends, the history of the evangelical Friends movement, with the associated professional pastorate and programmed worship, looks more like an assimilation to mainstream Protestant Christianity, and some such FGC friends may feel that "theologically conservative" more rightly belongs to meetings which practice unprogrammed worship and rotating clerkship than to those meetings with professional pastors. Eric Forste 08:42, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

 * I have the same problem with this usage of "conservative" and "liberal" - and I don't think "theologically" is really an appropriate word either, since most of the differences in question have to do with human practices rather than with the nature of God. But I can't presently think of a better phrasing. --Hob 18:38, 2004 Aug 1 (UTC)

Origin of Name
Forgive me as I'm posting this to both [Shakers] and [Quakers]...

I've heard that the name actually comes from a part of scripture that mentions an earthquake (started by God) or something to that effect. I'm not sure where in the scriptures, so that is another mystery. Basically the story I heard was that the Quakers' scriptures say quake and and the Shakers scripture says that the ground was made to shake. I know it sounds silly, but I heard this from a relative (who has now passed) that actually knew a lot about both groups and took many vacations in their historical towns. Now that I think about it, I believe she heard this from a guide at a/the Shaker village (in Ohio?). Of course, it's hearsay and could be completely false. If anyone has any more information on this, by all means enlighten us.JoeHenzi 01:04, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I I've never heard such a thing. The story that is most often told about this is that Quakers were given that name as by those who ridiculed them for "Quaking" in their religious fervor, and similarly for the "Shakers" because they would literally shake in religious rapture.  I can't tell you if this is true or not, but that's what I've always been told.Eric Harris-Braun 21 Jan 2005

I agree on "Quaking" in their religious fervor. I have been told and have read this in several Quaker publications.

Friends' schools?
IN my city we have a school The Friends School, which is affiliated with the Religious Society of Friends. (see http://www.friends.tas.edu.au )  I don't see any mention of schools in the article. Are there many schools set up/founded/affilated by the religious group? -- Chuq 08:15, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Yes, there is already a link on Friends School near the bottom of the External Links section of the article as well as a link at http://www.quaker.org/ at the top of the web page under Quaker Organizations: Quaker-originated schools and Quaker-originated colleges and universities. Does someone else want to write it up? It could be a section, a list or even a separate article. Petersam 17:32, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * In fact Quakers have quite a distinguished record in education. Either the oldest or almost oldest co-educational prep-school in the U.S. (Westtown Friends) is Quaker as are a number of well known colleges: Earlham, Haverford, Swarthmore.  And this isn't accidental.  Unlike some other religions, Friends have never feared education because they never thought that science could be in opposition to religion.  Since one of the basic tenets of the faith is that God's truth is one (despite that fact that we might not all have it right) empirical learning can't be taking us away from that truth, only bringing us closer.  This is why so many early Quakers wer scientists (Lister, etc.)  I'm pretty sure that others (Howard Brinton, Rufus Jones and John Punshon) have written about this relationship in their books, a distillation of which would be nice to see in the article (if only there were time...) Eric Harris-Braun 21 Jan 2005

Source for recent Testimonies?
Which is the source for "The Testimony of Unity with Creation (recent)/ The Testimony of Living In The World (recent)" quoted in the wiki entry? Thx
 * I'm not entirly sure. I dug back through the article's history and found they were added by karl in 2002.  When I did a massive edit/reorgnization of the article earlier this fall I left them there since I didn't want to step on toes be deleted anything more then I already was (there was lots of duplicate information at the time), but I didn't really know if they were refering to something from a particular yearly meeting so when I started the subsections for the traditional testimonies I left them out (I could guess at what they refer to, but to flesh them out I'd be making stuff up).  Since in the months that have followed no one seems inclined to add to them it might make sense to remove them.  They certainly aren't part of the general lexicon among Friends (although they hint at ideas that often are), but that doesn't nessasarily mean they should be removed.  --ahc November 19th, 2004

 * My understanding is that testimonies are documented in the books of Faith and Practice (also known as books of discipline to some) published by the various Yearly Meetings.  For instance, Pacific Yearly Meeting's F&P of 2001 documents six testimonies beginning here.  This document also contains several sections of quotations, some of which deal with the traditional testimonies.  Among these, there is a section relating to the testimony of harmony with nature.  The F&P's of other Yearly Meetings will, presumably, document other emerging testimonies.  --Eric Forste 04:04, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * I think the concern then is do we add testimonies that are new, at all. Since Friends are currently so divergent itis hard to call a new testimony something that belongs to the cannon of Friends theology.  The other PYM (Philadelphia) has not (to my knowledge) added any similar testimony (although care for the environement is certainly mentioned in F&P). Perhaps the discussion of testimonies should be adjusted and the list made the reflect "tradinional" testimonies among Friends. --Ahc 14:21, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Breaking some sections out
I've been noticing that this article has grown rather long, and it seems like some topics probably deserve their own articles instead of being in here. As the article gets longer it is both harder to make sure all the information is organized well but it is also harder to absorb. Before I started to pull things apart I figured I ought to see of others think I'm a total loon.

For example I feel the peace testimony and Quaker weddings probably warrant their own articles. Of course a brief description would remain here, but the primary information would be moved to an article that would grow on its own. Someone has already done this with Clearness committee, continuing revelation and inner light, so this is really more of a continuation of a trend. --Ahc 17:02, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * This seems like a prudent move to me. – Quadell (talk) (help) 21:36, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)

 * Are there suggestions about what should be moved? I've done weddings.  I'll try to peace soon.  What else do people feel justifies its own article. --Ahc 02:16, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * I think Quaker history deserves it's own article, especially since what we've got here doesn't even scratch the surface (whole centuries are missing). Quaker beliefs and practices may also be a good one. --Zach Alexander 04:08, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * That probably makes sense. We should make sure some information remains here to give a quick outline (like a GF's dates and such).  I've thought about that section from time to time. Feel free to do it if you have the time --Ahc 04:57, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I finally got Quaker history pulled out to its own article this evening (only took two months to find the time). The text that was left behind needs some clean up. --Ahc 04:57, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * How about we either make an article called Quaker testimonies or an article on each testimony? In the main article we could still explain each testimony with a sentence or two.  Logophile 23:08, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a generally good idea to me (actually it's been started with Peace). I would suggest that we probably should only it when we have a body of text to include in the new article.  For instance I would wait on Simplicity until someone has time/energy to write more, otherwise it's a waste of a reader's click for them to load the other page.  But Equality could probably go now. --Ahc 19:13, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * The articles on Peace Testimony, Testimony of Simplicity, Testimony of Equality, and Testimony of Integrity have all been created. Are we ready to condense them in the main article to cut down its length? Logophile 01:04, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Looks to me like they are in good shape. So I think you're right.  It's time to work on trimming this article down now.  --Ahc 13:47, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Right now the article gets very repetitive. The same points (e.g., about "thee" vs. "you") are repeated several times, under different heads. 02 Jun 2005

Organization
Since this has come up twice in the past few days I'm hoping to get some clarification. Being a US Friend, I am very familiar with the organization of YM's in the US. However, this shouldn't be an article about the US, so would someone with knowledge of non-US organization enlighten me. Twice now the organization section has been updated to reflect what now is clearly a non-US perspective I missed. First to include reference to large numbers of meetings that are not Monthly meetings (which is not the case in the US), then when I tried to find a middle ground statement (badly apparently) the text was altered to state it was the US structure. Do British or other European Friends (I say that since there are so few unprogrammed Friends outside the US and Britain, so any large numbers would be there) use a different organization of the bodies within the yearly meeting? If so, I'd like to know about it, and the article should reflect that. I didn’t mean to be near sighted, but I clearly missed something in my travels among Friends. --Ahc 05:05, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Friends and the Bible
''Eric Forste made the following comment in the the article's testimonies section. I moved it here for proper discussion.''

Friends believe that the Word of God is Jesus Christ, not the Bible, because this is what the Bible itself says in the gospel of John, but I don't know how to rewrite this first following sentence

--Ahc 21:54, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * For context the current first two sentences read as follows:
 * Friends believe that the Bible is the word of God as interpreted by each person. Each Friend must interpret the Bible for themselves in the light of the same Spirit that they consider to have inspired the Bible.
 * --Ahc 22:02, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * My quick response to this is that question raised here shows the division within the RSoF. Many Friends would agree with either statement whole heartily.  In my experience the suggested change is an over implication of a very complicated debate.  Most Friends (in my experience) would not agree that simply because the Bible says something that Friends therefore hold it as necessarily true.  I personally feel that the current text better matches the current feeling of most Friends.
 * --Ahc 22:02, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I agree with you, and I thank you for putting the context in. I don't interpret the gospel of John literally, and all I meant was that if one did interpret the christian Bible literally as the word of God, then one would want to take what it said about what the word of God was literally as well, and there it is in the gospel of John. This, I understand, was the sort of argument that early Friends used to argue against literalist interpretation of the Scriptures, and I think it's an excellent argument for Spirit-led, rather than letter-led, interpretation (whatever that means). --Eric Forste (Talk) 07:54, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

I find the opening 2 sentences of the Testimonies section rather confusing, if not meaningless. The article goes on: Thus Friends believe that divine revelation is not restricted to the Bible, ... which is something I can agree with far more than the preceding sentences. The trouble is that the Bible is not one book, written at one time by one author - or even one school of authors. It is highly heterogeneous; and alongside many passages which show wisdom and compassion, there is a great deal of racism, misogeny, homophobia and vengefulness - sentiments which IMO sit poorly with present-day Friends.

To give just one example, what is the "same Spirit that we consider to have inspired" 1 Samuel 15, particularly vv. 2-3? Are we to understand that Samuel really was speaking the Word of God - or was he simply projecting his own hatred for the Amalekites onto God, and therefore taking the Lord's name in vain? If the former, what kind of biblical God are we following? If the latter, what does it say about the rest of the story of Samuel?

--Tiffer 17:58, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * To me that's where the pharse about inturpretation comes in. Many Christians (Friends and other demoninations) feel free to openly reject passages of the bible that seem to be more inspired by men (usually men and not women) and not God.  That said, if you feel there is a better way to open that section let's try it.  If it confuses people it should be fixed as far as I'm concerned. --Ahc 18:33, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I see that the question was resolved on 7 April by Zach Alexander, introducing a new section "Friends and the Bible" - a logical solution. --Tiffer 19:06, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Rename to just "Society of Friends"
I recently encountered a reference to this page that was written as Society of Friends. The "Society of Friends" alias seemed unnecessary to me, so I simplified the link. It was quickly reverted (though the revert accidentally put the alias on the wrong side of the link) on the grounds that:
 * The alias "Society of Friends" is actually very important, as there are many Quakers who do not consider it a "religion", but a "belief".

If this is true, we should move this page to just "Society of Friends". If it is false, I will reinstate my edit with a pointer to this talk page. Does anyone have an opinion on this? --Doradus 17:01, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

 * The meeting house I attended as a teenager was very clear on this (Quakers tend to be quite clear about their beliefs!), and strongly insisted that it was not a "religion", but a "belief", and where we went was not a "church" but a "meeting house". While I am aware there are a variety of viewpoints among Friends, this "faction", for want of a better word, is quite common out West, and the selfsame statement was made by a Quaker woman in a John Wayne movie made in the 40's, of which the title escapes me now. Doovinator 01:44, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * There are lots of things which could be said "many" Friends believe. The George Fox certainly should (IMHO) keep the Religious on the title, as should this article, since that is the traditional name of the group (and he's traditionally thought of as the founder).  I believe (and a quick web site search seems to confirm, although I didn't do an exhaustive search) most yearly meetings outside EFI, still officially have "of the Religious Society of Friends" in there names.  So while sure it can be said that it make some Friends uncomfortable, that is not what I see as the consensus among Friends (indeed some of us find that treatment insulting).  That said, sounds like I should chime in on the discussion on the other article, to help form a wikipedia consensus on the issue. --Ahc 18:28, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I have nothing against Quakers who wish to use the term "religious", using it. What I object to is eliminating the term "Society of Friends", which is a distinct and legitimate branch of Quaker belief, and every bit as "necessary" as any "religion". Just as some Quakers have "services" in a "church", some have "meetings" in a "Society of Friends" meeting-house. The name of the movie, by the way, is something like "the Cowboy and the Lady". Doovinator 02:05, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I think the movie you're thinking of is "Angel and A Bad man" (1947), and while it's a well regarded movie by John Wayne fans I'd suggest that we not use that particular film as a good source of Quaker theology (the non-violent solution in the movie is to have someone else kill the bad guy). I'd also like to be clearer about language here in general (I don't mean to cruel, but some of this is important). Friends (from unprogrammed traditions) attend meeting in a meeting house you don't attend meeting house as that's what the building is called. The body is also called the meeting not the meeting house, therefore the meeting is clear on an issue. Additionally Friends frequently drop the Religious in the same way we often drop the Society of because saying the full name is more time consuming.  So we should be clear about when we are using the shortened version as a time saving device, and when it is a statement of belief.

 * You miss my point. I don't suggest that film is a proper source of Quaker theology, I cite the statement of the Quaker woman in it as an example of the Western branch of Quaker ideology I am familiar with, which firmly holds that it is not a religion, but a belief. I never knew of any other kind until I was into my twenties. The meeting I attended didn't just drop the word "Religious" because it was time-consuming, they never used it, because they didn't believe in it. t was never anything but "Society of Friends". I am aware there are many other branches to Quaker belief, but to claim this one simply doesn't exist is flat-out wrong. "Society of Friends" should not be a simple redirect to "Religious" Society of Friends, it is a distinct form of belief that deserves recognition as such.

I don't know where "attend meeting house" came from either, but not me. We attended meeting in the meeting-house.Doovinator 01:28, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Doovinator, are you suggesting a separate article entitled "Society of Friends"? Wouldn't that pretty much duplicate the current article?  Perhaps you want to add a paragraph in the article stating that some segments of the Friends' community prefer the name "Society of Friends" and explaining why.  Would that work?  I think so.  Logophile 17:07, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I suggest, for the purposes of Wikipedia that we use either Religious Society of Friends or simply Friends in all discussions of the group as a whole, and Society of Friends only be used in discussions of this particular debate among Friends. Otherwise the distinction will become confusing to readers lacking background knowledge of the discussion. --Ahc 17:51, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree with Ahc--Friends or Religious Society of Friends keeps things simple and workable. Quakerism might not be a religion, but it is certainly accurate to call it a religious society, and that is the traditional and almost universal title given to it.  Logophile 16:24, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * See above. "Almost universal" is not "universal".Doovinator 01:28, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Doovinator, true. I could go either way on the issue.  I would like to point out another problem with dropping "Religious."  Many institutions, specially museums, have auxiliary organizations with the name "Society of Friends of. . . .".  Could be ambiguous and confusing.  As I said, I could go either way without complaining.  12:51, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)  Logophile

 * Well, I don't mind "Religious Society of Friends" referring to those who care to call themselves by that name, but I do feel it's important to point out somewhere that some Quakers use only "Society of Friends". I'd be happy to do it sometime, but right now I'm more than half asleep!Doovinator 03:02, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Consensus?
Ok, so where does this leave us? Can we agree that using " Society of Friends " everywhere is not ideal? Can we agree on what to do about it? --Doradus 21:43, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

 * I started to hold this conversation on the new WikiProject (see below and the project page) about this issue. Sorry I forgot to mention it hear.  Since this is a issue that should apply to more articles then just this one it seemed appropriate, however it would have been helpful if I'd mentioned that to those participating here...my bad. --Ahc 13:20, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * If brevity of the link is what we are concerned about, then simplest would be to create a redirect page for Society of Friends, IMV. I for one wouldn't want to see the "Religious" prefix dropped, for 2 reasons: (1) it is after all the proper title; and (2) just "Society of Friends" is less meaningful to people outside the Society. --Tiffer 22:55, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I don't mind "Religious" used as a prefix by those who wish to use it, but not to refer to those who feel it is contrary to their belief. A short mention or a redirect would be fine with me, but not elimination of "Society of Friends", which is also a proper title, albeit of a smaller group. One does not claim Episcopalians are Catholic so that "outsiders" will not be "confused". Doovinator 02:39, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Towards a solution, hopefully -- I just made an edit which I hope will be satisfactory to everyone, or at least more satisfactory than the previous state of things. I added a "Names" section, which goes into the various names, and in the RSOF paragraph notes that some Friends object to the R. I did this because I think it should be noted, but I don't think there should be a separate article, since there is no separate organization. Episcopal/Catholic isn't really a relevant comparison, because there is zero doubt whether they are separate groups; a better comparison would be (hypothetical) members of the Southern Baptist Convention who object to the term Southern; if it's just a sentiment among some of them, and they haven't actually made it official, you wouldn't expect a separate article on the Baptist Convention. Zach 14:14, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I like it. It's quite good.  I think it makes the later section on the origin of the term Quaker redundant.  Should we remove that section?  Logophile 15:49, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Probably could be combined or condensed. I think the article is coming along quite well. I don't see the need for an entirely different article on "Society of Friends" either, though I'd say holding a belief is something more than a "sentiment". Religion is by its nature organized and exclusive. Part of holding a belief that is NOT a religion is not forming or joining such exclusive organizations. Thus, a personal belief can't and will never be "official". Individuals who attended our meeting did as they wished, but as a group we never joined anyone, since as a matter of principle we wished to be inclusive, not exclusive. I hope I am being clear, I think this is probably the most misunderstood point of all! Doovinator 00:52, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, sorry, calling it "sentiment" was a little marginalizing I admit. I'm glad you liked the edit tho. Please do add more about this when you have the time for it. Zach 17:41, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Whoops, yeah, I meant to move the Origins section, not just duplicate it... deleting... Zach 02:57, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Linking
So the concensus seems to be that links should just look like Religious Society of Friends, with no alias to "Society of Friends" unless there's a good reason to do so in the context of that particular article. For a more terse link, Quakers is preferable. --Doradus 20:28, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. "Quakers" is probably most recognized anyway. Doovinator 06:30, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Come to think of it, perhaps Quakers is good enough for the terse link, and we can let the redirect do its job. Conceiveably, a consensus might arise in the future to move the article to Quakers anyway, so we should probably avoid overengineering the links.  --Doradus 16:10, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

understatement?

 * Still other Friends rejected (or began to neglect) the Christian Bible altogether; hence among some liberal (usually unprogrammed) Quakers one will encounter Sufi, Buddhist, Jewish, nontheist and otherwise non-Christian Friends."

In my experience—which is limited to a single meeting—this is an extreme understatement. I have been told that 90% of our meeting is non-Christian. --Goethean 16:44, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, maybe the "some" should be changed to "many". But your experience is only typical of FGC Friends, although even in many FGC meetings there are many Christians. As for other braches, all FUM and Conservative Friends are "Christian" (leaving aside what Christian means), and I think Beanite meetings often have a high percentage of people that identify as Christian in some sense. ("Christ-centered universalism"). Zach 18:17, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * By number most Friends are not from the more liberal and univeralist branches of Friends. These pockets tend to be quite dense for a variety of reasons and quite loud when larger groups of Friends come together.  I think "many" is fair, but we need to make sure we avoid "most". --Ahc 04:57, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. Altho it depends on what we're talking about -- some/many/most liberal unprogrammed Quakers, or some/many/most Quakers period? "Most unprogrammed Quakers..." might be justified (tho I'm not sure), but "Most Quakers..." definitely wouldn't here. Zach 13:12, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * In my experience (equally limited), despite the fact that we're a pretty damn "liberal" meeting (Princeton, NJ) there is plenty of Christ- and Bible-talk. Just want to add my two cents in -- liberal and unprogrammed does not mean "non-Christian". Sdedeo 15:11, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Plainness
I was looking at the article, and I think we could use a better explanation of "plain speech" and plain dress. Perhaps it could be its own subsection in the Beliefs and practices section? School just started back up for me, so I don't know when I'll have a chance to work on this myself. Zach 17:35, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * It should also be part of the testimony on simplicity section. I'll try to work on something in the next few days/weeks on this.  Sounds like a couple editors are about to get busy for a while, so others of us should step up more to keep things moving.  --Ahc 04:43, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Evangelical and terminology
As someone who considers himself an engaged buddhist and someone who was quaker roots and has gone to more than a few unplanned meetings as well as quarterly meetings I have to admit that I find some aspects of this article misleading. I have always understood, that at least among unplanned meetings, proseltization is considered taboo. There is no formal process of confirmation of conversion so to speak of. You simply decide that you are. Having been to these meetings I have not met anyone I would describe as new age, a universalist, or even someone else such as myself who would describe themselves as buddhist. I should also mention that I have never heard a single one of those terms mentioned. This is simply my personal experience. When I figure out why my account wont work and/or decide to create a new one I will make adding to this page one of my priorites. I think there are many points worth mentioning that are not discussed. I have to confess ignorance of what the society of friends is like outside of the United States and Canada but I supsect this article is more charactersitic of British quakers.
 * Having traveled a good deal among North American Friends I can safely say I have meet Friends that I would discribe as Universalist and some as new age (although that's a sticky terms as many people take it as an insult). I certainly have talked with Friends that describe themselves as Buddhist-Quaker, or Jewish-Quaker.  So, yes they are accurate to include here IMHO.
 * The issue of proseltizing is a point of some disaggreement among Friends in North America. Most Friends from the more liberal backgrounds (generally associated with FGC) are very uncomfortable with any form of proseltizing, while Friends from more conservative backgrounds (particullarly those affliated with EFI) feel called to share their relationship with God through every means avialable.  I suspect that there are similar breakdowns among Friends world-wide, but I don't know for sure.
 * We have been working over that last few months to deal with some problems with the article being too North American centric, and we've been making adjustments to take European and Austrian Quakers into better account. What we're still lacking (in my estimation) is a good understanding of African Friends.  Friends in Africa are numerous, but here we make almost no real mention of them (I suspect because like myself, few of the editors know much about the particulars are African Quakerism, which I understand is somewhat different from Friends elsewhere). --Ahc 13:59, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Latest Edits--Nature of God, Trinity, Eschatology
I am not a Friend myself, but I do not believe that these latest edits are needed or helpful in the article. I would like to see a source for them, as they definitely sound more credal than Friends actually are. Logophile 20:52, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Since they were already removed, I'm not in a big rush to look it over. I'll take a look when I have a few minutes and see if there is content that should be included or if cropping it all was a good idea.  --Ahc 13:56, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Bryaxis

Bryaxis (Βρύαξις or Βρύασσις; fl. 350 BC) was a Greek sculptor. He created the sculptures on the north side of the mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus which was commissioned by the queen Artemisia II of Caria in memory of her brother and husband, Mausolus. The three other greatest sculptors of their time, Leochares, Scopas and Timotheus, were each one responsible for one side of the grave. The tomb was completed three years after the death of Mausolus and one year after the death of Artemisia. Some authors allege that Bryaxis created a famous colossal statue of Serapis in the temple at Alexandria; however, according to Michaelis, Athenodoros Cananites expressly pointed out that the Bryaxis connected with the Alexandrian statue was merely a namesake of the famous Bryaxis. The works of Bryaxis include a bronze statue of Seleucus, king of Syria, five huge statues at Rhodes, and a statue of Apollo at Daphne near Antioch.
