Castilleja School

Castilleja School is an independent school for girls in grades six through twelve, located in Palo Alto, California. Castilleja is the only non-sectarian all-girls middle and high school in the San Francisco Bay Area. The faculty consists of approximately 70 full-time and part-time women and men. Castilleja is a member of the California Association of Independent Schools and the National Coalition of Girls' Schools.

History
Castilleja was founded in 1907 by Mary Ishbel Lockey. Originally from Montana, Lockey graduated from Stanford University in 1902, where she majored in English. She was a charter member of Alpha Phi and was the first Stanford Alpha Phi elected to Phi Beta Kappa. She was encouraged by Stanford's first president, David Starr Jordan, to start a school that would offer girls a comprehensive, college preparatory education. In its early years, some boys were allowed to take classes at Castilleja.

The school's core values, known as "the 5 Cs," include conscience, courtesy, character, courage, and charity.

In 1910, the school moved to its present location at 1310 Bryant Street, and the first structure was the administration building, designed by architect Roy C. Heald in American Craftsman style. In 1926, the Castilleja chapel was designed by architect Birge Clark, in a complimentary design to the existing administration building.

In 2007, Castilleja celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding.

Expansion proposal
In 2016, Castilleja announced its intentions to build an underground parking garage and upgrade and replace buildings to increase enrollment to 540 students. Because of the scale of the proposed development in an R1 zoned neighborhood, the project has experienced considerable opposition among neighboring residents. One concern has been traffic impact. In June 2022, the Palo Alto City Council approved the school's permit to expand the school's enrollment, renovate its campus, and build a parking garage.

Recognition
Castilleja is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools, the National Coalition of Girls' Schools, and the College Board. In late 2007, the Wall Street Journal identified Castilleja School as one of the world's top 50 schools for its success. In 2009, Castilleja was given the highest accreditation rating by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Castilleja was named one of the Bay Area's Best Private Schools by San Jose Magazine.

Castilleja is recognized as the 18th best private high school and the #2 girls high school in the United States by Niche.com in their 2023 rankings.

Jeremy Borash

Jeremy Borash (born July 19, 1974), is an American professional wrestling play-by-play commentator, announcer, ring announcer, booker, interviewer, and producer, currently working for WWE. He is known for his work in TNA Wrestling as a multifaceted staff member since the company's inception in 2002 until his departure in 2018. In March 2017, he was appointed as the lead play by play commentator for TNA Wrestling after being mentored by Mike Tenay for many years.

Borash was involved in the now defunct World Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling All-Stars promotions. His most recent title was being a member of the TNA Wrestling broadcast team, as well as a backstage interviewer and member of the Impact creative team. He has also been the host of Impact Wrestling online content such as TNA Today in 2012 and TNA Xplosion in the UK on Challenge TV from 2011–2017.

Radio career
Jeremy Borash was born just outside Minneapolis. Borash started a career in broadcasting at the age of 15, hosting both a nightly radio talk show and live television show in the Twin Cities. Borash's radio show on KSMM in Minneapolis, and television show Jeremy Borash Live! won several Minnesota broadcasting awards, as well as leading to on-air positions at KSTP and KDWB in the Twin Cities.

After graduating from Brown Institute for Broadcasting in Minneapolis, Borash took a position at the age of 19 as a program director/morning show host at KOOL 92 FM in Fort Dodge, Iowa. His popular Borash in the Morning show featured a wide variety of entertainment, including such acts as actually hypnotizing local politicians on the air, skydiving from 13,000 feet over Fort Dodge, and his popular breakfast drive through, where Borash would personally deliver free breakfast to his listeners cars as they drove by. His involvement in local community activities included serving on the board of the United Way, as well as Honorary Chairman for the March of Dimes, which received national attention when Borash became the youngest person ever nominated for radio's prestigious Marconi Award for Broadcasting as America's Small Market Personality of the Year in 1996.

Upon receiving this honor, offers came from around the country, and Borash chose to move back to Minnesota, as morning show host of KXLP in Mankato, Minnesota. At 22, Borash lasted only four months in Mankato, citing major creative differences with management after a New York radio consultant directed the station to name his on-air persona "Flash Borash." Borash soon found redemption months later, as he helped launch the syndicated Ruth Koscielak Show, and as co-host, was back on the very station group he was fired from months earlier through the show's midwest syndication. Borash returned to a radio show format as host of the Impact Wrestling Podcast with TNA Knockout Christy Hemme.

Early career
While working weekdays on the Koscielak show in Minneapolis, Borash started a weekly Saturday morning wrestling show at the very station he started with at the age of 15. Through the show, Borash met internet wrestling executive Bob Ryder, who quickly pitched the show concept to Eric Bischoff of Ted Turner's World Championship Wrestling (WCW).

World Championship Wrestling (1999–2001)
In March 1999, WCW Live! premiered to an online audience with their first guest on the show, Hollywood Hogan. WCW Live! went on to become the most listened to streaming audio program in the world, often reaching fifty thousand live audio streams nightly in an era of this new technology. While doing the nightly two hour internet show for WCW, Borash continued his stint on the Ruth Koscielak Show until August 1999, when he left Minneapolis to work full-time in the offices of WCW in Atlanta, where he went on to become one of the head writers for WCW Monday Nitro on TNT, as well as WCW Thunder on TBS.

Later that year, Borash premiered for the first time on WCW TV, co-hosting the year end special for WCW on TBS. Borash went on to make several appearances on WCW television as a play-by-play announcer for Nitro and Thunder. His role eventually led to an on-air character as Vince Russo's stooge, including a memorable episode where Borash was attacked by Goldberg while driving Russo in his own pope-mobile vehicle at the Cow Palace in San Francisco.

World Wrestling All-Stars (2001–2002)
After the WWF purchased WCW in March 2001, Borash met Australian concert promoter Andrew McManus and together they launched the World Wrestling All-Stars organization. Later that year, Borash left for Australia and worked out of the offices of McManus at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. The promotion's first tour of Australia concluded with a live pay per view from the Sydney Superdome called "The Inception", where Borash provided play-by-play commentary alongside Jerry "The King" Lawler. The WWA would go on to produce numerous international tours, as well as live pay per view events from Las Vegas, Nevada, Glasgow, Scotland, Melbourne, Australia, and Auckland, New Zealand, with Borash serving as executive producer and host.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling / Impact Wrestling (2002–2018)
In March 2002, Borash returned to the United States to join Jeff Jarrett in launching TNA Wrestling in Nashville, Tennessee. As the second employee the company hired, Borash worked in several positions for the organization including ring announcer, video editor, and show writer.

In January 2006, Borash became the backstage interviewer for TNA's Impact! on Spike TV, a position he dreamed of as a child, watching his idol Gene Okerlund in the American Wrestling Association (AWA) growing up in Minneapolis. Since becoming backstage interviewer, Borash actually became involved with the kayfabe politics of TNA, as his respect for Kurt Angle led him to be a constant presence during many of Angle's backstage segments and even gained him membership into Angle's stable, the Angle Alliance. He was humorously Karen Angle's maid of honor at her wedding vows renewal to Kurt on the Valentine's Day edition of Impact!.

In April 2007, Borash launched TNA Today on TNAWrestling.com, a show he hosted from the TNA corporate offices.

In early 2008, Borash announced that Samoa Joe was voted the MVP of TNA. Joe then attacked Borash, thus (kayfabe) injuring him, which resulted in Borash wearing a neck brace on television. Borash has gone on to become the host of Internet-based TNA Spin Cycle which aired on TNA's YouTube channel. On January 17, 2010, at Genesis new executive producer Eric Bischoff took Borash off television. After Mick Foley agreed to work with Bischoff, Borash was brought back as the backstage interviewer on February 14 at Against All Odds. At Sacrifice, Borash was made the new ring announcer. On June 14, 2010, Borash began working as the lead play-by-play commentator for TNA Xplosion. He also worked as the color commentator beside Mike Tenay on July 10, 2011, at the Destination X pay-per-view. On October 25, 2012, Borash and the debuting Todd Keneley began working as the announce team for the first hour of impact!. from June 12 edition of TNA Xplosion he started commentating with Mike Tenay. In 2012, along with Tenay, he was there for his 10th year with the company. Borash assumed duties as TNA Wrestling's Director of Social Media, and took over the company's marketing online. Borash also was given the role as Executive Producer of the UK's Challenge TV exclusive British Bootcamp, a reality show featuring four aspiring UK wrestlers competing for a TNA contract.

While interviewing Ethan Carter III, Borash was engaged in a feud with him after he interfered to help Rockstar Spud. While Carter and his bodyguard Tyrus tried to head shave the head of Spud but due to interference of Borash, that attempt was failed. Rather than shaving Spud, Carter and Tyrus decided to shave Borash. This event caused an alliance with Spud and Borash, with Borash saving Spud numerous other times from getting his head shaved. Ken Anderson and Mandrews would also start to help Spud as well. On the February 20 episode of Impact Wrestling, Borash, Anderson, Mandrews and Spud made an attempt to shave Carter's head but Tyrus saved him. Tyrus, instead got shaved by Spud.

Deginning in April 2015, Borash began conducting backstage interview at the One Night Only pay-per-view events along with Christy Hemme and some impact! tapings. In addition to this, Borash was still the lead commentator for Xplosion until Josh Mathews took over. Beginning at Bound for Glory 2015, he went on hiatus until returned to interviewing on January 5, 2016. Also in 2016, Borash returned to Xplosion alongside Mathews and took over ring announcer position full-time while Hemme went on hiatus. On March 21, 2016, Borash returned to TNA Wrestling commentary for the night after Lashley attacked color commentator The Pope.

In March 2017, after being mentored by Mike Tenay for many years, Borash was appointed as the lead play-by-play announcer for TNA Wrestling by executive producer Jeff Jarrett. He was involved in a feud with fellow announcer, Josh Mathews, which culminated at Slammiversary with a tag team match featuring Borash and Abyss against Mathews and Scott Steiner. On January 30, 2018, PWInsider reported that Borash had officially left Impact Wrestling, thus ending his long-standing tenure with TNA Wrestling.

WWE (2018–present)
On January 30, 2018, PWInsider reported Borash had officially signed with WWE, where he works as part of their NXT brand. On May 8, 2020, Jeremy Borash made his first appearance on WWE programming as a part of the 205 Live broadcast team with Tom Phillips. Borash has been credited by WWE COO Triple H as a true innovator, and was chosen as the director for the Undertaker's "Boneyard Match", which headlined Wrestlemania 36 and was voted 2020 WWE Match of the Year. Borash's current title in WWE is Senior Director of Content and Development working directly with Shawn Michaels on the NXT brand.

Other media
While working for TNA, Borash took up video editing and producing, and with only a laptop and video camera, set out to make a documentary on ECW, the organization Borash credits for rekindling his childhood love for professional wrestling.

Hardcore Homecoming (2005)
Forever Hardcore led to Borash co-promoting Hardcore Homecoming, a reunion of ECW wrestlers in Philadelphia's famed Alhambra Arena, the place where it all started. The Hardcore Homecoming event held the record for the largest gate of any independent show in United States wrestling history. It was considered a historical success for the era, culminating with a surprise barbwire rematch of one of the most famous matches in ECW history with Terry Funk vs Sabu vs Shane Douglas, with featured referee Mick Foley. The show led to a Hardcore Homecoming tour, and the show's DVDs broke Billboard's Top 10 Sports and Rec DVD releases. The release of Forever Hardcore and Hardcore Homecoming in the UK debuted at #1 and #2 on the Sports and Recreational charts, over two years after their US release. The show holds the largest gate in the history of the ECW Arena, as a complete sellout with tickets ranging from $99–$149, with premiums given to all fans attending.

Personal life
Since January 2021, Borash is currently engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Vanessa De La Gala.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Myle

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Delete. Redwolf24 (talk) 03:13, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Myle
This isnt' an article about "Myle" (¿?) but just reposting of Rktect's  already deleted content content all over again. See and  for evidence. Delete -- < drini | ∂drini > 01:21, 20 August 2005 (UTC).
 * Keep on grounds of False accusation. This page shows the history of the Myle, as it existed prior to the statute Mile with reference to earlier examples of the Greek Milion and Roman Milliare and the revisions to the Milion and Milliare that made it something similar to its predecessors but also different from its descendant the Mile. Unsigned vote by Rktect at 02:29 22 August 2005
 * By the way Rktect is removing Vfd Notices in order to hide them. -- < drini | ∂drini > 01:55, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * A Second False accusation. see below -- Unsigned comment by RkTect
 * Probably the result of an edit conflict, due to someone adding the original vfd tag while he was in the middle of adding in all those (spurious?) references --Mysidia (talk) 02:08, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * In other words some of you are in such a hurry to delete pages you can't wait for them to be put up before you mark them for deletion -- Unsigned comment by RkTect
 * As a separate and related point all of these pages are being edited with references content and wikification being added, but then reverted by the people voting against them (Egil, Ken, Gene, Drini and Zoe) to fraudulently give the impression that they are insubstantial. Egil was supposedly to have been constrained from changing them because we entered into mediation on this issue but he has contacted, Ken, Gene and Drini among others to ask them to act as his agents in deleting and reverting these pages. -- Unsigned comment by RkTect
 * The previous are misleading and unsubstantiated claims, as I was never contacted with Egil before my vote casting. I wasn't aware of a mediation existing until Egil dropped me a single message on my talk page long after this controversy had started. -- < drini | ∂drini > 17:40, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Apparently Rktect has decided to put everything he "knows" into every article he edits, and because those changes are generally reverted on the grounds of relevance, comprehensibility, a deliberate disregard of all the rules of editing, dishonest use of minor edit tag, and various other reasons, to create a few new ones of the same thing just for good measure.  Gene Nygaard 02:35, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Gene has systematically removed content, wikification and references from pages, Egil and Ken have marked 27 for deletion since August 5 and Ken is engaged in marking them in groups of up to four at a time so individual pages can't be voted on separately. -- Unsigned comment by RkTect

 * Delete; Imcomprehensible evil | Celcius 02:56, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Apparent vandalism. MCB 06:31, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Anything relevant that remains should be moved to a history section within Mile and Myle should redirect Ian Cairns 09:23, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * With all due respect a Myle needs to be discussed both on its own and in relation to the Milion, Milliare and Mile. -- Unsigned comment by RkTect
 * Delete for vandalism. --Agamemnon2 11:02, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The herd mentality is alarming Rktect 02:29, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. There may be some content worth moving into the historical section of Mile, when that article is unprotected (which I don't recommend until this battle has played out in RFC or arbitration (wherever it finally winds up, as I fear it must inevitably do). Of particular interest to me is the 1593 date, when Queen Elizabeth I of England changed the definition of the foot, and added a number of feet to the mile so that it would remain the same absolute size. (Which is what my quick research into the statutes says actually happened. The redefinition of the mile was incidental.) And there may be other content that's worth moving into an article on something like the topic of Pseudoscientific metrology. (Which is a title I hate, BTW.) I don't see any of those moves happening anytime soon, though, and the content is unencyclopedic as presented. Myle, by the way, is an archaic spelling of mile. I see nothing to indicate that it was a separate word used for a separate measure. Ken talk 22:53, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe that would be a good thing to check out before establishing a POV Ken.Rktect 02:36, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, good Lord. I went to the library and checked OED before I wrote that. Is that a good enough reference for you? If I say "I see no evidence..." or "I see nothing to indicate..." it means that I checked, usually multiple sources. Ken talk 03:07, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. If I'm going to be accused of being a member of a cabal, I might as well vote with the rest of the cabal. Delete, more of Rktect's incomprehensible original research.  Zoe 23:05, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * As a group of vandals you are all coming along nicely and probably deserve your own page to give you the credit you deserve for all this good work you have been doing. You could call yourselves the Super Ekgdz wear lots of lyca and strike fear into the hearts of pseudo villians everywhere. Rktect 23:31, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Drini puts a possible copywrite image tag on an image that has written permission to use it on its main Wikipedia image page Rktect 23:59, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * In what possible way does that comment have anything to do with this VfD vote? Zoe 20:59, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, let's see. We have Egil, Ken, Gene, Drini and Zoe working together to destroy Wikipedia content in any way possible, making patently false allegations of original research and throwing around unsubstantiated lables of pseudo science, marking dozens of pages for deletion, then systematically stripping them of their content, removing images, references, tables, repeatedly reverting them to earlier versions so that what is voted on is never the best or latest version of a page, and misusing administrative powers to mark as copywrite infringements quotions from free source sites, or images already registered with wikipedia with written permission for their use. I know that might be standard operating procedure here but that doesn't make it right.Rktect 02:36, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Although the previous paragraph has nothing to do with the vfd process I want to add a comment (I've post this on some other pages but you keep spreading misinformation):
 * I'm not an admin. Any user can add copyright notice tags into nonfree resources. No administrative powers being misused. *Once again* Please check your facts before making unsubstantiated claims. And as I've told you before :
 * If you refer to then the copyvio is not a false statement. It's taken from  where it states:
 * Copyright Screen prints may be made of these maps for non-commercial educational and private purposes. Written permission must be obtained in advance to reproduce any digital material from the Library's collections, whether in hard copy or electronic forms.
 * Obtaining written permission is not fulfilled with copying and pasting that paragraph. It means you need to provide a real paper permission form. And second, after the ruling of Jimbo a few months ago, free for noncommercial and educational is not free enough for wikipedia. Read  where it clearly states that noncommercial and "with permission only" MUST be deleted in sight. And you are now also claiming the image is registered with wikipedia which is a nonsense. I won't comment further on that. -- < drini | ∂drini > 19:45, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Talk:Dearne Valley

Untitled
The area described is now refered to as Dearne Valley. The OS map says the same. There seems to be alot of inititives and organisations using the term as well. So I'll add references to them when I don't have to be up in 3 hours.

"Business parks in the area have sprung up, yet are showing little benefit to the area as a rule"

Badly POV, this.BaseTurnComplete 16:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

To the person that made Goldthorpe a village, well that's a moot point. Goldthorpe had a Town Hall which is the definition of a town. However the Town Hall was called the Dearne Town Hall, after the name of the Urban District Council which it contained. Since there's no settlement called Dearne, I personally take that as meaning that Goldthorpe is a town. I've left your modification though as I really can't be bothered changing it back!BaseTurnComplete 20:52, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Denby Dale viaduct
It's a shame, because it's a nice picture, but I'm not sure if the Denby Dale viaduct is a representative picture for this article, although it is geographically accurate being close to the river's source, since the term "Dearne Valley" tends to be used to refer to that part of the river valley downstream of Barnsley to its confluence with the Don at Cadeby.BaseTurnComplete (talk) 12:33, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Silliness
"During the development, the entire building was cursed by a plague of spiders that covered the exterior windows.[1] Some say it was because of the demonic nature of the game while others say it was because Exidy did not pay its exterminator bills."

True.

Sprites
I noticed this game has transparent sprites (the gosts flying around), something that is very advanced for the time of the release of this game (1984) - does anyone know what the first game was to use transparent sprites? --Abdull 01:23, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

What?
This seems more like an ad for the game than a Wikipedia article. MaraquanWocky (talk) 22:32, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

First to feature blood
I just read that this was the first game to feature blood. Can someone confirm? The Mo-Ja'al (talk) 03:45, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Banned in the UK?
I was reading about this game, and I found out that it was supposedly permanently banned in the UK. Some sources very trivially mention this (RetroGamer, MobyGames, VeteranGamers), and it's a known "fact" about the game mentioned everywhere else, like, for example, some YouTube videos. However, the two most reliable sources (Kotaku, International Game Museum) don't mention this at all.

This makes me believe that this is all just a rumor or a hoax, but that's a weird rumor to create (why the UK?). I wasn't able to find any "official" statements (from either Exidy or the UK government?), and no pages public before the year 2000 mention it either (thanks Google), but seeing how all of this is more than 30 years old, it'd make sense not being able to find it on the Internet.

So, is anyone from the UK able to confirm (because I'm curious), or provide reliable sources (because it'd be cool to include it on the Wikipedia page)? I know that seeing the state of this talk page, no one is going to reply within the next 15 years, but here's hoping. 🐈 cAtte_ · talk · contributions · 21:52, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Barra da Tijuca

Barra da Tijuca (usually known as Barra) is an upper-class neighborhood or bairro in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, located in the western portion of the city on the Atlantic Ocean. Barra is well known for its beaches, its many lakes and rivers, and its lifestyle. This neighbourhood represents 4.7% of the city population and 13% of the total area of Rio de Janeiro.

Barra da Tijuca is classified as one of the most developed places in Brazil, with one of the highest Human Development Indexes (HDI) in the country, as measured in the 2000 Brazil Census. Unlike the South Zone and Rio's Downtown, Barra da Tijuca, built only 30 years ago, follows the Modernist standards, with large boulevards creating the major transit axis. The area's masterplan was designed by Lúcio Costa, known for his work on Brasília, and creates a region filled with many gardens, shopping malls, apartment buildings and large mansions. In recent years, due to the rapid development of the Brazilian economy, Barra's population has increased by over 100,000, as a large number of residents and companies search for cheaper real estate as an alternative to the densely populated South Zone of Rio. Demographic data indicates that the region is the fastest growing neighborhood in Rio: 98,851 in 1991, 174,353 in 2000, and 300,823 in 2010.

Barra natives and residents are known as Barristas, or more popularly, Barrenses. The neighborhood is a cultural, economic, and administrative hub of the city, and is believed to be the safest of Rio's upper-class neighbourhoods because of its lack of favelas and plentiful private and public security. It is the home of several celebrities and football players, such as the singer Anitta. In August 2016, Barra hosted most of the venues of the 2016 Summer Olympics, the first held in South America.

Etymology
The name Barra da Tijuca can be roughly translated as "clay sandbank". Barra means port entrance or sandbank, and Tijuca is a word originally from the Tupi ty-yúc and means putrid water, mud, swamp, puddle, clay or clay-pit. Tijuca (meaning marsh or swamp)  from ty ("water") and îuká ("to kill").

History
The region of Barra da Tijuca was originally a large beach, with typical undergrowth sandbanks. The area, full of swamps and unsuitable for planting, remained unoccupied until the middle of the twentieth century, even though occasional groups of fishermen frequented the region. In 1667, the region was given to religious Benedictines, who settled only in the neighborhoods of Camorim, Vargem Pequena, and Vargem Grande. In 1900, the lands of Barra da Tijuca and Baixada Jacarepaguá were sold to the company Remedial Territorial Agricultural and SA, ESTA, which remains a large land owner in the area. The concentration of large tracts of land in the hands of a few was one of the causes of its late growth. Additionally it is separated from the rest of the municipality by large, difficult-to-cross mountain ranges with peaks ranging from 800–1200 meters.

Development of the area took place initially on its two ends, in current Jardim Oceânico and in Recreio dos Bandeirantes. A bridge was then built by private initiative over the Tijuca Lagoon to serve the area's new inhabitants. Significant early development of Barra da Tijuca occurred during the administration of Governor Negrão de Lima, the former governor of the state of Guanabara, who commissioned Lúcio Costa, one of the region's urban designers. The plan for Barra in 1969 was similar to the earlier one for Brasília. It was inspired by American urban planning style with wide boulevards and large open spaces.

In the 1970s the Lagoa–Barra Highway was built, which allowed a greater development since it reduced the time to go to the South Zone of the city of Rio. At the same time, large planned condominiums were developed in Barra, such as the condominiums Nova Ipanema and Novo Leblon. In the 1990s, another large urban development that enabled better connection with the North Zone of Rio was the creation of the Yellow Line, an expressway linking Barra da Tijuca to the Galeão International Airport. Since then, the growth of Barra da Tijuca has been characterized by large inflows of people from all parts of the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro.

Barra City's Project
During the 1980s, Barra da Tijuca experienced a population explosion, with virtually all the land along its boulevards occupied by large residential condominiums, parks, supermarkets, shopping malls, schools and hospitals. The avenues were widened and received traffic lights. At this time there was a movement for the declaration of Barra as a separate city; While there was a referendum to this effect, and a majority of voters voted to make it a separate city, turnout was too low for it to succeed.

There is still a bill in progress in the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro for the formation of a new Barra da Tijuca council from the region's districts (Barra, Recreio, Grumari, Vargem Pequena, Vargem Grande, Itanhangá, Joá e Camorim). The project, however, depends on the approval of the Federal Congressional bill PEC 13/03, which transfers to the states the power to legislate on this matter, as it was until 1996.

Lifestyle
As the most recent region, built only about thirty years ago, Barra introduced a way of living characterized by large luxury condominiums with leisure infrastructure (sports courts, pools, private groves and lakes, spas, gyms) inside of the condominium for the use of its residents and guests. The "neighborhood-condos", as they were named, have the idea of creating an exclusive neighborhood for its residents, making it possible for them to live a complete life without the need to leave the condominium. The condos also have a high security system to ensure the privacy and safety of its residents. The residential areas of Barra are also known as being environmentally friendly.

The region is characterized by a car culture, and is crossed by three main routes: the Avenue of the America - "Avenida das Américas" (the main road in the region, approximately 21 km long), "Avenida Ayrton Senna" (which connects the district of Barra and the Yellow Line, or 'Linha Amarela' highway) and "Avenida Lúcio Costa", formerly Sernambetiba Avenue, which follows the coastline.

Jardim Oceânico
Jardim Oceânico (Portuguese: Ocean Garden) is a subdistrict of Barra da Tijuca. Predominantly formed by three-story buildings It is an area similar to the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro. As part of the preparations for the Rio 2016 Olympics, a subway station was opened in the neighborhood. The mainly residential area is also home to several bars and restaurants on the Olegario Maciel and Erico Verissimo streets.

Península
Península was designed by a real estate company, the original project being the creation of a new environmentally friendly neighborhood called Península Barra. However, the project evolved from being a neighborhood to a massive private urban development complex, making the Península (which has the same size of Leblon's neighborhood) the newest and first eco-friendly urban development complex in Rio de Janeiro. Located in the heart of Barra, right behind the Barra Shopping in an area surrounded by its own private lake (Península Bay) and extensive leisure infrastructure, Península won the prize of the best urban development complex in Brazil. The complex, which still has some towers under construction, will consist at its completion of 62 residential towers, two business towers, a mini mall, five theme gardens and two large parks. The real estate boom in Rio after the city was chosen for the 2016 Summer Olympics affected the prices in Península; researches show that the prices have increased up to 300%, making the square meter in Península one of the most expensive in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The complex, considered one of the best family urban developments in the city, is now one of the favorite places of the celebrities of Rede Globo.

Education
Several universities have a campus in the district, including Universidade Estácio de Sá, Pontifícia Universidade Católica, Universidade Gama Filho, Universidade Veiga de Almeida, Centro Universitário IBMR-Laureate and Instituto Brasileiro de Mercado de Capitais. Schools in the district include the Escola Suíço-Brasileira Rio de Janeiro.

Shopping malls
The neighborhood of Barra is home to many large modern malls, including Barra Shopping on Avenue of the Americas.

Transportation
There are three main avenues in Barra: Avenida das Américas (which connects almost the whole area of Barra), Avenida Ayrton Senna (formerly Avenida Alvorada, which connects Barra to Jacarepaguá neighbourhood) and Avenida Lúcio costa (formerly Avenida Sernambetiba, which passes alongside the beach). The connection works of Barra with the rest of the urban network are among the most expensive works already carried out in Rio. Barra has many bus routes and in 2009, Barra's subway line started to be built for the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics. Jacarepaguá Airport, an airport specialized in general aviation, is also located in the neighborhood.

Sports

 * The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy Gracie Barra originated in Barra and is named after it.
 * The 2007 Pan American Games and 2016 Summer Olympics and Paralympics took place for the most part in Barra, the latter featuring 12 permanent and three temporary venues.
 * The football (soccer) club Barra da Tijuca Futebol Clube derives its name from the region. Its headquarters are located in neighbouring Camorim.
 * Three major Associations' headquarters are located in Barra da Tijuca: the Brazilian Football Confederation, the Brazilian Volleyball Confederation and Brazilian Olympic Committee.
 * The Golden Green Golf Club provides three-par six-hole court greens open to outside players with illumination for night play. Itanhanga Golf Club is also nearby.
 * Surf competitions, such as Rio Marathon Surf Internacional, Festival Petrobras de Surfe, Campeonato Velox Surf Amador and Circuito Petrobras are held in Barra. There are several surfing schools in the neighbourhood, an evidence of the popularity of this sport with the locals.
 * The Aero Clube do Brasil provides parachuting experiences. The Rio Sport Center offers tennis courts to the public. Barrashopping and Barra Square are home to bowling alleys.
 * There are several places where beach and court volleyball are practised. The Bernandinho's School is located in Barra.
 * The numerous condos also offer several others sports courts exclusively for their residents.

Beach
The 18 km long beach is the largest of Rio de Janeiro's beaches. Barra's beach starts at Morro do Joá and ends at the Recreio dos Bandeirantes neighborhood, in Pontal de Sernambetiba, beyond Avenida Lúcio Costa. Most of its waters are clear and green, and have an uncommon wave formation. Barra da Tijuca beach is one of the most sought after beaches by surfers, windsurfers, bodyboarders, kitesurfers and fishing enthusiasts. There is also a cycling lane along the beach. Pepê beach, closer do Morro do Joá, has kite surf schools, food kiosks, and surf schools.

Teatro dos Grandes Atores
The Teatro dos Grandes Atores (Great Actors Theater) is located in the Shopping Barra Square mall. It has a small 35 square metres (380 sq ft) foyer, and two auditoriums, each with 396 seats, the Blue Room and the Red Room. Both have good acoustics, and balconies that give good views of the stage. The theater opened in 1995 with Aparecida Margarida, with Marília Pêra, in the Blue Room and A Era do Rádio directed by Sérgio Britto in the Red Room. Ricardo Torres was staged here in 1996. Since 2009 the theater has partnered with Agência do Bem, and since 2011 has let the agency's Orquestra Nova Sinfonia, a youth orchestra, use its stage for rehearsals.

Criticism
The influence from different countries is criticized by many citizens from the older areas of Rio de Janeiro, especially concerning the 26.8 meters (88 feet) high replica of the Statue of Liberty in the New York City Center. Barra also has replicas of many international architectural icons like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Tower Bridge of London, and the Eiffel Tower of Paris (all found in the Barra World Shopping Center).

History of Vladivostok

The area that is now Vladivostok was ruled by various states, including the Mohe, the Goguryeo, the Balhae and the later Liao, Jīn and Ming dynasties. The land was ceded by China to Russia as a result of the Treaty of Aigun of 1858 and the Treaty of Peking of 1860.

Chinese influence
On Chinese maps from the Yuan dynasty (1271–1368), Vladivostok is called Yongmingcheng (永明城 [Yǒngmíngchéng], "city of eternal light"). During the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) it was under Ming rule as part of the Nurgan Regional Military Commission. It was visited by Chinese expeditions under Haixi Jurchen eunuch Yishiha, and a relic of that time, the Ming Yongning Temple Stele is displayed in the local museum. The 1689 Treaty of Nerchinsk defined the area as part of China under the Manchu Qing dynasty. Later, as the Manchus banned non-banner Han Chinese from most of Manchuria (including the Vladivostok region), it was only visited by shēnzéi (參賊, ginseng or sea cucumber thieves) who illegally entered the area seeking ginseng or sea cucumbers (ambiguous, since both words use the Chinese 參, shēn). From this comes the current Chinese name for the city, 海參崴 – (Hǎishēnwǎi, "sea-cucumber cliffs"). A French ship which is believed to have visited the area around 1858 found several huts belonging to Han or Manchu fishermen. No foreign or Chinese maps show any sizable Chinese settlement there within the decades prior to the founding of Vladivostok. There is also the Udge, the Orochi, the Nanai, and the Mohe living in Vladivostok.

Russian control
During the summer of 1859 the governor-general of eastern Siberia, Nikolay N. Muravyov, visited the peninsula and bay (somewhat similar to the Bay of the Golden Horn in Constantinople) on the steam corvette Amerika. The peninsula was named Muravyov-Amursky in his honor. The first Europeans to visit the bay, later named the Golden Horn Bay, were the crews of the British warships HMS Winchester and HMS Barracouta in 1855.

Origins of the modern city
On June 20, 1860 (July 2 Gregorian style) the military supply ship Manchur, under Captain-Lieutenant Alexey K. Shefner, called at Golden Horn Bay to found the outpost of Vladivostok. Warrant officer Nikolay Komarov, with 28 soldiers and two non-commissioned officers under his command, were brought from Nikolayevsk-on-Amur by ship to construct its first buildings. They pitched camp, selecting a site where the entrance to Golden Horn Bay was always visible.

In 1862, under the leadership of Yevgeny Burachyok, Vladivostok became an official port. To encourage foreign trade, it was designated a free port for imports. In 1864, the Southern Harbors command was moved to Vladivostok from Nikolayevsk-on-Amur. A year later a shipbuilding yard was founded in the city, and the first settlers from Nikolayevsk-on-Amur began arriving. In 1871 the naval port, military governor's residence, and main base of the Siberian Military Flotilla moved from Nikolayevsk-on-Amur to Vladivostok, and the Great Northern Telegraph Company connected Vladivostok to Nagasaki and Shanghai by underwater cable.

Vladivostok's first street was Amerikanskaya Street (ул. Американская), named for the corvette America in 1871. Two years later, it was renamed Svetlanskaya Street (ул. Светланская) in honor of the frigate Svetlana on which Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich of Russia visited Vladivostok. At that time, it consisted of present Svetlanskaya Street from Amursky Bay to number 85. Its other parts were separate streets with names such as Portovaya (Портовая), Afanasyevskaya (Афанасьевская), and Ekipazhnaya (Экипажная).

In 1878, 40 percent of the city's over 4,000 residents were foreigners. This was reflected in street names such as Koreyskaya (Korean), Pekinskaya (Peking), and Kitayskaya (Chinese), whose present names are Pogranichnaya (ул. Пограничная), Admirala Fokina (ул. Адмирала Фокина), and Okeansky Avenue (Океанский проспект).

In 1880 the Russian Volunteer Fleet, with government aid, organized regular trips to Odessa and Saint Petersburg. On April 28, 1880 (May 10 Gregorian style), Vladivostok was officially proclaimed a city and a separate administrative unit from Primorskaya Oblast. At that time the city population was 7,300, double that of 1878. Three hotels were in operation: the Moscow, the Vladivostok, and the Hotel de Louvre.

In 1883 the Resettlement Administration was established in Vladivostok, and Russian Volunteer Fleet steamships began a mass transport of peasants from European Russia to the Far East. Vladivostok became a shipping center, and in 1888 the residence of the oblast governor was moved from Khabarovsk to the city. In 1889 Vladivostok was proclaimed a fortress and two torpedo boats, brought disassembled from the Black Sea, were launched. During the 1880s Vladivostok's cultural life improved, and a music school at the Siberian Fleet Depot was opened. In 1883 the city's first newspaper (Vladivostok) began, and the following year the Society of the Amursky Territory Study (headed by Fyodor F. Busse) was founded. In 1887 a public library opened, and a professional theater performed in Vladivostok for the first time. Trees were planted along the main streets, and 120 kerosene streetlamps were installed.

By the end of the 1880s Vladivostok had about 600 wooden and more than 50 stone houses, some two or three stories. Most buildings were grouped in the area of today's central square and the Matrosskaya Sloboda (Sailors' Suburb), from the Obyasneniya River to the Gaydamak tram stop. In 1891, construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway began in Vladivostok. During the 1890s, shipping to Kobe, Nagasaki, and Shanghai began. In 1897 a new commercial port was opened in Vladivostok, and regular rail service to Khabarovsk began.

In 1899 the first Far Eastern higher educational institution, the Oriental Institute, was established. It presently houses the main building of Far Eastern State Technical University (FESTU).

From 1899 to 1909, four theaters opened in Vladivostok: the Tikhy Okean (Pacific Ocean) Theater, the Public Theater (inspired by the Moscow Artistic Theater), the Zolotoy Rog (Golden Horn) Theater, and the Pushkin Theater (which hosted Russian actress Vera Kommisarzhevskaya). In 1912 a newspaper, The Theater and Music, was first published.

During the Russo-Japanese War, a Japanese squadron of warships fired on the city. The Vladivostok Cruiser Group participated in the war, blocking approaches to besieged Port-Arthur.

Vladivostok was involved in the Revolution of 1905, and was governed by rebel military units in early 1906. Unrest in the city was quelled with force and diplomacy by General Georgi Kazbek.

During the period between the two Russian revolutions (1907–1917) a 17th-century-style railway station, a power station, two girls' schools, a school of commerce, and the Versailles Hotel were built, and trams began operating. In 1909 the port was visited by 795 steamships, including 477 foreign ships, and there were about 3,000 shops in Vladivostok. In 1913, local publishers produced 61 titles in Russian and other languages.

After the Revolution
After the October Revolution of 1917, on December 31, Japanese, British and American cruisers entered Golden Horn Bay. In April 1918, the Japanese company Isido was attacked in Vladivostok. After this incident, the Japanese and British commands landed troops to protect their citizens. The Entente soon expanded its Siberian Intervention; Canada sent 4,000 troops, headquartered in the Pushkin Theater with a barracks at Second River and Gornostai Bay.

Bolshevik supporters conducted a partisan struggle in the city. From 1916 through 1922, Vladivostok's population went from 97,000 to 410,000 as opponents of the new regime (including the White Army) retreated to the east.

From 1920 to 1922, cultural refugees from Moscow and Saint Petersburg founded two conservatories, two theaters and several symphony orchestras and published art magazines. After the Bolshevik victory, most moved abroad and by 1926 Vladivostok had a population of 108,000.

On October 25, 1922, the last interventionist units left the city, and the Red Army assumed control. On November 15 the Far Eastern Republic, which had existed since 1920, became part of the RSFSR.

The Bolsheviks understood Vladivostok's strategic importance, and during the 1920s and 1930s reconstruction of its port began. In the early 1930s direct air service to Moscow began, and in 1932 the city became the base of the Pacific Naval Fleet.

During the early 1920s, Far Eastern State University was established in Vladivostok; in the late 1930s, under Stalin, it was closed for twenty years. In 1925 the Pacific Scientific-Commercial Station, reorganized as the Pacific Scientific-Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography (TINRO) in 1930, was established in the city. In 1932, the Far Eastern Division of the USSR Academy of Sciences was founded.

In 1926, Vladivostok's first radio station began broadcasting. Three theaters and three cinemas were opened in the city in 1931. The Primorye Picture Gallery's collection was assembled from 1929 to 1931. About 1,000 pictures were brought there from the Hermitage, the Russian Museum and the Tretyakovskaya Gallery.

Many ethnic groups considered rebellious by Stalin's eyes, including Chinese, Manchu, Jews, Ukrainians, Poles, Crimean Tatars, Chechens, and Armenians, were transported. During the 1930s mass repression began in the country, and a transit camp for political prisoners sent from western Russia to Kolyma was opened in Vladivostok. The prisoners arrived by train and left on prison ships in terrible conditions. Soviets at first, after 1939 the prisoners came from Eastern Europe and were Japanese POWs after World War II. Factories, ports and cities in the Far East were built by prison labor during the 1930s. After American pilots bombed Tokyo on April 18, 1942, one of the sixteen B-25 bombers landed in Vladivostok when it ran out of fuel; the bomber was confiscated and its crew interned. Although Captain Edward York and his crewmates were well-treated, diplomatic efforts to return them to the United States failed. They were eventually moved to Ashgabat (20 mi from the Iranian border); York bribed a smuggler to help them cross the border and reach a nearby British consulate on 11 May 1943. According to declassified Soviet archives, the smuggling was staged by the NKVD because the Soviet government felt it could not repatriate them legally due to its neutrality pact with Japan.

In 1954 First Secretary of the Communist Party Nikita Khrushchev visited Vladivostok, the first Russian leader to do so. After Khrushchev's visit, urban development began.

In 1956 the Far Eastern State University, the only classical university in the Russian Far East, was reopened. The microdistrict of Churkin was built during the late 1950s, and Vtoraya Rechka (Second River) and Morgorodok were developed during the early 1960s. Vladivostok's last large district built with new, multistory houses is at Patrisa Lumumby and Neybuta Streets, begun in 1980.

From the 1950s to the 1980s the fishing industry was developed. For many years the ports of Vladivostok ranked first in freight turnover in the Russian Far East, recently yielding to Nakhodka. The city also produced a large volume of military goods.

From 1930 to the 1970s, foreigners were not allowed to visit Vladivostok, but in 1974 the Vladivostok Summit Meeting on Arms Control was held with General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) Leonid Brezhnev and US president Gerald Ford. After Ford's visit the city, home to the Pacific Fleet, was again closed until 1992. As of 1996 there were six consulates, four offices of Japanese television companies, a US information service, more than 100 offices of foreign companies and about 600 joint ventures in Vladivostok.

December 2008 protests in the city against higher import duties on used cars were reported around the world, although coverage was limited in Russia. The protests were seen as the first visible public anger at the Russian government's response to the global financial crisis. Police clad in riot gear detained protesters as other demonstrators blocked roads, lit flares and bonfires in protests which blocked traffic in the city centre. Another protest later briefly blockaded the city's airport.

Rival claims settled
In 2005, Beijing and Moscow ratified an agreement that ended more than three and half centuries of their struggle over territory and for dominance. Nevertheless, complaints continue in the Chinese media.

In July 2020, in response to Russian celebrations on Chinese social media website Weibo for 160 years of Vladivostok, the official Chinese state broadcaster China Global Television Network said "This tweet of Russian embassy to China isn't so welcome on Weibo. The history of Vladivostok is far from 1860 when Russia built a military harbour. The city was Hai Shen Wai as Chinese land – before Russia annexed it".

Montreal Matrix

The Montreal Matrix were an American Basketball Association team based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The team's first season was in 2005–06 and their home court was the Centre Pierre Charbonneau. The team was known as the Montreal Royal during the 2007–08 season, before returning to its original name.

History
The Matrix reached the playoffs in their first season of play. They won their first playoff game against the Ohio Aviators. They reached the Round of 16 before losing to the Maryland Nighthawks. In their 2007–08 season as the Montreal Royal, the team reached the Final 8 in Quebec City, before losing to the Manchester Millrats in overtime.

The team is now defunct. Another pro basketball team started in its place for the 2008–2009 season, known as the Montreal Sasquatch of the Premier Basketball League. Unfortunately that team after undergoing ownership problems and playing only a handful of games is now defunct as well. Montreal's most recent defunct pro basketball team is the Montreal Jazz of the National Basketball League of Canada, who were only active for the 2012–2013 season.

Stonefest

Stonefest (sometimes referred to as Stone Week) is an annual festival held at the University of Canberra during week eleven of the second semester to celebrate the laying of the university's Foundation Stone. Stonefest is run by UC Live - the music and live entertainment division of the UCX (the University of Canberra Union), who have been responsible for the event for its entire life span.

History
Stone Day started as a celebration at the University of Canberra held annually to mark the laying of the foundation stone by Prime Minister John Gorton on 28 October 1968. This founded the Canberra College of Advanced Education, which became the University of Canberra in 1990.

The first foundation celebrations were held in 1971. In 1973 Stone Day celebrations were held over two days, which was expanded to take up a whole week in 1976. In the 1980s and 1990s Stoneweek became a popular Canberra entertainment event. In the 1990s it was given themes such as "Return to Woodstock", "Circus", "Back to the Beach", "Alien Abduction", "Oktoberfest", "Halloween" and "Stoneage". In the year 2000 the festival became Stonefest.

For many years Stonefest was the largest music festival in Canberra and a popular one in Australia. In recent years other festivals have made their way onto the Canberra scene, including Groovin' The Moo (also on the University of Canberra Campus) and Foreshore Summer Music Festival, contributing to declining numbers for Stonefest. In 2012, organisers made the decision to return the festival to its roots as a university celebration, re-branding the event as Stone Day, giving it a fresh new look and feel and returning tickets to the student-friendly price of $25.

In June 2019, Stonefest social media channels became active after a long hiatus, teasing the festival's return. On 11 June the lineup for Stonefest 2019 was announced, featuring artists from the local Canberra area, wider Australian music scene and a notable international artist in Example.

Stonefest re-appeared in 2022 post-covid in a smaller capacity on UC Lawns with a star-studded lineup with Vera Blue and Ruby Fields headlining and again in 2023 this time with heavy hitters Ball Park Music and UK sensation Bakar.

Due to the recent success of the festival and community demand, Stonefest will return bigger and better in 2024 with the lineup due to drop in June.

Talk:Quadrivium

Order of Trivium
Why not list the elements of the trivium in this logical order: grammar, logic, rhetoric? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.137.239.141 (talk) 2005-08-19, 17:30:38

Okay... can you explain that order, tho? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.116.200.186 (talk) 2005-08-22, 15:54:41

 * The trivium was studied before anything else to ensure students from a plethora of backgrounds and languages had common ground to debate on - you should recall that for much of the period, the only University was that of Paris, which organised itself into linguistically and culturally distinct colleges called Nations, such as that of Navarre, representing francophonia. This derived from Crusader and Templar practices, as is evinced in Malta. Grammar came first to ensure there was no semantic confusion, then logic to ensure the ground to be debated was debated in an orderly manner, and finally rhetoric to enable students to be persuasive, as a first step towards propaganda. Be careful, though, not to apply the same taxonomic method to the quadrivium, which considered its subjects in a more eidetic manner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.129.36.4 (talk) 03:25, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Study of number
Is there any sort of source for identification of the Quadrivium as a study of number? It feels OR to me. 71.146.143.145 06:12, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

 * It is quite common. A short search turns up examples such as     as examples --Henrygb 11:01, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Article quality
Doesn't this article seem only semi-literate? 24.186.214.2 02:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, get to work, then! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.177.66.213 (talk) 2006-08-08, 11:04:32

Astronomy and the Music of the Spheres
This sentence:

"It also lead to ideas combining the various subjects, such as the music of the spheres."

doesn't strike me as exactly correct. The "music of the spheres" was not the combination of disciplines but rather a description, within Astronomy, of the proportions between the magnitudes, distances, or periods of heavenly bodies. While it is true that such a discipline is numerical (like arithmetic), spatial (like geometry), and temporal (like harmonics (aka "music")), this deflects from the fact that it is essentially an attempt to rationally describe observed natural phenomena. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.177.66.213 (talk) 2006-08-08, 11:04:32

 * I was trying to point out that it was an idea (description if you prefer) which stemmed from the multifaceted elements of the quadrivium.--Henrygb 11:17, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Both Plato and Cicero discuss the music of the spheres. This is the actual belief that the movement of the planets make noise as they move, but that man cannot hear it because they tune it out.  (Cicero compares this to people living near a noisy waterfall who after a while don't notice its sound.)  At any rate, this concept predates the quadrivium, which is commonly attributed to Boetheus, by several hundred years.  Therefore I am removing the sentence all together.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.33.173.164 (talk) 2006-10-28, 13:57:26

 * You need something about it included, as Pierre d'Ailly's work on cosmological eschatology in this domain was a chief inspiration of Columbus and, through Cusanus, of Kepler and Copernicus, a disproof through reductio ad absurdum establishing that elliptical orbits meant there was space between the shells and therefore the idea was wrong, the first step in supplanting the subject of this meme, the Quadrivium, as an academic norm with scientific method. Though it probably predates the general definition of the quadrivium, our lack of accurate knowledge of the historical derivation of the concept means we can't exclude it. I'm not editing as this verges on OR, however: I intend publishing a detailed examination as a Doctoral thesis in 2014. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.129.36.4 (talk) 04:20, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

The Golden Ratio
I have deleted the unhinged quasi-mystical diatribe on the golden ratio that was previously taking up space in this article. It was scientifically, mathematically and factually invalid, not to mention confusing and misleading. - Saulglasman —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saulglasman (talk • contribs) 07:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Incorrect, because your criteria are wrong: you approach the subject from the taxonomic angle of modern scientific method, whereas the quadrivium included the mystical study of cosmological eschatology, imprecisely termed astrology. In his mid 20th Century studies of Palladio's work, Rudolf Wittkower demonstrated the use of mathematical/musical harmony in classical proportion in architecture, which depended on the use of the Golden Ratio (answering the Who? tag, in other words). The first sentence of your deletion is therefore justified and should be reverted. The naturological extension of the second sentence is more debatable in this context and can be omitted as long as there is a link to the Golden Ratio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.129.36.4 (talk) 2010-10-08T19:45:15

Eidetic vs. eclectic?
The Medieval usage section had said "The study was eidetic, [...]" with a wiki-link to a non-page that got redirected to the "Eidetic memory" page. I don't believe the word "eidetic" was intended; I suspect "eclectic" is closer to what was meant, based on the context, and if desired can be linked to Wiktionary: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/eclectic. However, if the OE can clarify the intent or the particular usage, I'm happy to see the original restored or a more accurate word used. Memetics (talk) 12:16, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Original order
According to a British journalist and scientific author Ivor Bulmer-Thomas, the original order of the Quadrivium liberal arts was different and was the following: 1. arithmetic; 2. music; 3. geoemtry; 4. astronomy. Subsequently, the position taken by music and geometry would have been inverted by Martianus Capella. The article affirms "both order were attributed to the Pythagoreans, the ultimate source".

The above mentioned source was published by The Classical Association and the related abstract is freely available. It seems to be citable in the WP article.

 * Good find. The article seems quite highly cited for a classics paper (112 GScholhits). I'll look at what the 2ary literature says: one way or another I think this can be cited; it's just a matter of framing what we say. — Charles Stewart (talk) 20:36, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Lissett

Lissett is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Ulrome, in the Holderness area of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated 6 mi south of Bridlington town centre and 13 mi north-east of Beverley town centre on the A165 road that connects the two towns. In 1931 the parish had a population of 95.

In 1823 Lissett, with a population of 95, was in the parish of Beeford, and the Wapentake and Liberty of Holderness. A chapel of ease existed in the village. Lissett was formerly a township and chapelry in the parish of Beeford, from 1866 Lissett was a civil parish in its own right, on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Ulrome.

In 1942 an RAF station, RAF Lissett, was built there. Its main role was to serve as a bomber airfield for the Halifax Bomber 158 Squadron. It had a short life - the final mission left the airbase on 25 April 1945. The airfield is now part of a small industrial estate in the village. In December 2008 a 30 MW wind farm housing twelve turbines each 125 m high was constructed across the western end of the airfield.

The village church, St James, is a Grade II listed building and houses the oldest dated bell in England, dated 1254. Perhaps of 14th-century origin, it was rebuilt by Hugh Roumieu Gough in 1876. Remaining from the previous church are fragments of a Norman capital in the east wall. The east stained glass window is by Charles Eamer Kempe, with Morris-style diamond-shaped flower details and lettering.
