Ryan Lowe

Ryan Thomas Lowe (born 18 September 1978) is an English football manager and former professional player, who is manager of Championship side Preston North End. His playing career, as a striker, began at Burscough in 1999 and he became a Football League player with Shrewsbury Town the following year. He played for eight league clubs in all and had three spells at Bury. In the second half of the 2010–11 season, Lowe established a Bury club record by scoring a goal in each of nine consecutive league games.

Lowe ended his playing career at Bury who had signed him again in January 2017, this time as player-coach. He became caretaker-manager twice in 2017–18 after first Lee Clark and then Chris Lucketti were sacked. Lowe retired from playing in March 2018 during his second caretaker appointment. In May 2018, despite their relegation to League Two, Bury offered Lowe the position of full-time manager on a two-year contract to the end of the 2019–20 season. After guiding the club to promotion back to League One, he left Bury on 5 June 2019 to take over at newly relegated Plymouth Argyle, managing them to an immediate return to League One.

Early years
Born in Liverpool, Merseyside, Lowe played for Liverpool's youth team between 12 and 13, before breaking his ankle. He returned to the team aged 15 before again leaving the club. While at Liverpool, he formed a friendship with Steven Gerrard.

After Liverpool, Lowe played with Southport's youth team and non–league Liverpool teams Sandon Dock and Waterloo Dock before joining Burscough. He moved into the Football League with Shrewsbury Town in time for 2000–01.

Shrewsbury Town and Chester City
After almost five years with the Shrews (which included a season in the Football Conference), Lowe switched to Football League Two side Chester City on 22 March 2005. He spent a year at Chester, which included scoring twice in a shock FA Cup 3–0 win over Nottingham Forest on 3 December 2005 before leaving the club by mutual consent shortly after the return of manager Mark Wright.

Crewe Alexandra
Lowe joined Football League One side Crewe Alexandra in time for 2006–07 season. He enjoyed a successful debut for the Railwaymen, scoring the opening goal; assisting David Vaughan's goal and earning the man of the match in Crewe's 2–2 draw with Northampton Town on 5 August 2006. Lowe continued his form over the first few games of the season, scoring a further two goals in late August. However, the arrival of Rodney Jack to the club saw him lose his starting place for much of September. He returned to the starting line up on 30 September 2006 against Carlisle United. Lowe scored his only hat-trick for Crewe as they ran out 5–1 winners at the Alexandra Stadium.

After spells in and out of the Crewe side, Lowe joined Stockport County on loan on 27 March 2008. His transfer was not made permanent and he was not included in the side which clinched promotion in the play-off final against Rochdale at Wembley Stadium.

Return to Chester City
On 2 July 2008, Lowe returned to Chester on a two-year deal, becoming the club's fifth summer signing after Anthony Barry, Jay Harris, David Mannix and Paul Taylor. Lowe scored twice including a penalty, in his first home game back for Chester against Leeds United in a 5–2 loss in the League Cup on 12 August 2008 and repeated the feat in a 5–1 thrashing of Barnet later in the month.

Lowe went on to comfortably finish as Chester's leading scorer with 18 goals (16 in the league), in a season which ended with the side suffering relegation from Football League Two. He received the club's player of the season award before the final match of the campaign against Darlington. The following week it was announced Lowe had left Chester by mutual agreement, with several Football League clubs interested in signing him.

Bury
On 10 June 2009, Bury confirmed the signing of Lowe on free transfer Lowe scored his first goal for Bury on 18 August 2009 away at Hereford United in a 3–1 win. Also, Lowe scored in Bury's 1–0 victory over rivals Rochdale, in the fixture at Gigg Lane. He scored his 100th league goal on 9 October 2010, bagging a brace against local rivals Accrington Stanley.

At the beginning of the 2010–11 season, he was named vice-captain by Alan Knill. On 1 March 2011, Lowe broke a 53-year-old club record by scoring in eight consecutive league games in a 3–0 victory over Shrewsbury Town at the Greenhous Meadow. After a goal in the following 3–0 victory over Hereford on 5 March he extended the record to nine games. On 25 April he scored Bury's third in a 3–2 win over league leaders Chesterfield in the 87th minute, promoting his side to League One.

Sheffield Wednesday
On 31 August 2011, Lowe joined Bury's fellow League One team Sheffield Wednesday for an undisclosed six figure fee.

Milton Keynes Dons and Tranmere Rovers
On 1 August 2012, Lowe signed for League One side Milton Keynes Dons for an undisclosed fee and was signed on a two-year deal after limited chances at Hillsborough. On 21 June 2013, Lowe agreed to cancel his Milton Keynes Dons contract and agreed to join Tranmere Rovers on a free transfer with a two-year deal.

Second contract with Bury
On 19 May 2014, Bury announced that they had re-signed Lowe on a two-year contract.

Return to Crewe Alexandra
On 23 November 2015 Lowe rejoined his former club Crewe Alexandra on loan until 5 January 2016, and in his first appearance scored a stoppage time winner at Colchester United. He signed a new full contract with Crewe in May 2016, and on 6 August made his third scoring Crewe debut with the first goal in a 2–1 win at Stevenage. Three days later, Lowe scored both Crewe goals in a 2–1 League Cup tie win at Sheffield United.

Player-coach at Bury
In January 2017, Lowe returned to Bury in a player-coach role. Following the sacking of manager Lee Clark in October 2017, Lowe was appointed caretaker-manager, taking charge for Bury's FA Cup first-round tie at National League side Woking. He remained in charge for six games (two wins, two draws, two defeats) until 22 November when Chris Lucketti was appointed Clark's successor, with Lowe becoming player-coach again. In January 2018, after Lucketti was sacked, Lowe was again appointed caretaker-manager, this time until the end of the season, with Ryan Kidd as his assistant. He decided to end his playing career to concentrate on management and coaching. His last match as a player was for Bury against Bristol Rovers on Friday, 30 March 2018 in League One.

Bury
In May 2018, Lowe was appointed full-time manager of Bury on a two-year contract. Bury had just been relegated and, to "sort out the mess of the previous season" and prepare for the 2018–19 season in EFL League Two, Lowe was very busy in the transfer market with eleven players being transferred out or released, and another eleven being transferred in, all of them on free transfers. He said that players who did not fulfil their potential had to go and be replaced by players with some passion who "could get bums off seats at Gigg Lane".

After a shaky start to the season in which the new team found its feet, Bury had reached fourth place in the table when they travelled to promotion rivals Mansfield Town on Boxing Day. They lost that match and dropped to sixth place but then began an unbeaten run which firmly established them in the top three. In addition, Lowe led them to the semi-final stage of the EFL Trophy, Bury's best-ever showing in this tournament, before they were defeated by League One Portsmouth. In recognition of his success in turning the team around, Lowe was three times awarded the EFL League Two Manager of the Month award – in November 2018, January 2019 and February 2019.

Plymouth Argyle
On 5 June 2019, Lowe was announced as manager of Plymouth Argyle, guiding them to a third-place finish and an immediate return to League One in a season interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.

After guiding his side to four wins and two draws from six matches during an 17 game unbeaten run in the league, in a month that saw Plymouth top the League One table, Lowe was named EFL League One Manager of the Month for October 2021. On 7 December 2021, Lowe resigned as Plymouth manager, with the club fourth in League One.

Preston North End
Immediately following his departure from Plymouth on 7 December 2021, Lowe was appointed manager of Championship side Preston North End.

Style of management
Lowe's managerial style has been influenced by Jürgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola, Rafa Benítez and Lowe's long-time friend Steven Gerrard, among others. He is attack-minded, and Bury in 2018–19 were one of the Football League's highest-scoring teams; their style, described as "gung-ho", soon brought success as the club finished second in League Two and earned promotion back to League One. Lowe explained in an interview with The Guardian that he wanted to instil a "winning philosophy" and that, by outscoring their opponents, Bury would have a greater chance of achieving that goal. The on-field strategy is effectively a 3-1-4-2 formation.

List of MUD clients

A MUD client is a game client, a computer application used to connect to a MUD, a type of multiplayer online game. Generally, a MUD client is a very basic telnet client that lacks VT100 terminal emulation and the capability to perform telnet negotiations. On the other hand, MUD clients are enhanced with various features designed to make the MUD telnet interface more accessible to users, and enhance the gameplay of MUDs, with features such as syntax highlighting, keyboard macros, and connection assistance.

Standard features seen in most MUD clients include ANSI color support, aliases, triggers and scripting. The client can often be extended almost indefinitely with its built-in scripting language. Most MUDs restrict the usage of scripts because they give an unfair advantage, as well as the fear that the game will end up being played by fully automated clients instead of human beings.

Prominent clients include TinyTalk, TinyFugue, TinTin++, and zMUD.

History
The first MUD client with a notable number of features was Tinytalk by Anton Rang in January 1990, for Unix-like systems. In May 1990 TinyWar 1.1.4 was released by Leo Plotkin which was based on TinyTalk 1.0 and added support for event-driven programming. In September 1990, TinyFugue, which was based on TinyWar 1.2.3 and TT 1.1, was released by Greg Hudson and featured more advanced trigger support. Development of TinyFugue was taken over by Ken Keys in 1991. TinyFugue has continued to evolve and remains a popular client today for Unix-like systems.

TinyFugue, or tf, was primarily written for Unix-like operating systems. It is one of the earliest MUD clients in existence. It is primarily geared toward TinyMUD variants. TinyFugue is extensible through its own macro language, which also ties to its extensive trigger system. The trigger system allows implementation of automatically run commands.

Another early client was TINTIN by Peter Unold in April 1992. In October 1992 Peter Unold made his final release, TINTIN III, which was a much more mature and feature rich program. Development of TINTIN was continued by Bill Reiss who announced the release of TinTin++ 1.0 in July 1993. The client gained popularity quickly because of its easy to use scripting language and the popularity of DikuMUD for which it was designed. Being open source with originally no license restrictions, many current clients like GGMud, MudMaster, and Pueblo are based on TinTin++.

Following on from TINTIN's success, Mike Potter was keen to produce a Windows port of the client resulting in the release of zMUD 1.0 in December 1995. zMUD was initially licensed as freeware, but Mike Potter realized that he could make a living from sales of the client and started selling zMUD 4.0 as shareware in September 1996. zMUD is particularly noted for its automapping capabilities.

MUSHclient
MUSHclient is a MUD client and peer-to-peer chat system originally written and maintained by Nick Gammon. The client is released as freeware. The source to the client is also available on GitHub.

Features
MUSHclient is highly flexible, and provides aliases, hotkeys, triggers (text-matching), command-execution timing, variables, multi-session support, ANSI-colour customisation and speed-walking. In July 2008, support for "miniwindows" was added, which allows MUD programmers to customize graphical elements to the screen, such as a map.

MUSHclient is compatible with screen readers such as JAWS, which read text out loud and allow blind users to play MUDs.

MUSHclient offers extensive scripting support via the Windows Script Host-supported languages, such as VBScript and JavaScript, as well as the platform-independent Lua-scripting. It also supports MCCP and MXP.

MUSHclient is also a peer-to-peer chat system using TCP/IP, featuring group calls and file transfers. This chat system is vulnerable to penetration attacks.

Portability
Although primarily written for Microsoft Windows, MUSHclient has been successfully run both under the Linux operating system by using Wine, and the Mac OS X operating system via Boot Camp and Parallels Desktop for Mac.

MUME
MUME, Multi-Users in Middle-earth, is one of the early offspring of DikuMUD, created in 1991 by Philippe "Eru" Rochat, who was soon joined by Claude "CryHavoc" Indermitte, Pier "Manwë" Donini, and David "Nada" Gay. The game was built as an homage to J. R. R. Tolkien's world as described in The Lord of the Rings. MUME has since released several new versions, incorporating new changes and areas that recreate Tolkien's world in text format.

MUME enjoys a measure of popularity in the MUD world. MUME is included in The Historical DikuMUD List hosted on the official DikuMUD web site, marking it as one of the longest-running DikuMUDs. In a September 2000 interview Raph Koster, the lead designer of Ultima Online and the chief creative officer of EverQuest II, lists MUME as one of the games that influenced him as a game designer by "doing such interesting things with player conflict".

In April 1998, MUME was named MUD of the Month at The Mud Connector.

Technical details
MUME is based on DikuMUD. The core of MUME is written in C, while the mudlib (global critical code, such as game commands, justice system support and shop functionality) and game world (code for specific rooms, mobiles, and objects) are written in Mudlle.

MUME makes the standalone version of its building and scripting language, Mudlle, publicly available. Mudlle was created by David "Nada" Gay and developed by him and Gustav "Dáin" Hållberg.

MUME uses PowTTY, a client based upon Powwow (for unix) and PuTTY.

Operating systems
The operating systems the clients can run on.

 * CPI: Cross-platform or Interpreted software

Protocol support
Information about what protocols the clients support.
 * A locally ran MCCP or TLS proxy server can be used by clients that do not support MCCP or TLS natively.
 * Many MUD clients will be able to display Unicode characters but will have wordwrapping issues without proper support.

Other uses
MXP is also used by the CERDEC as communication protocol.

Asselian

In the geologic timescale, the Asselian is the earliest geochronologic age or lowermost chronostratigraphic stage of the Permian. It is a subdivision of the Cisuralian Epoch or Series. The Asselian lasted between and  million years ago (Ma). It was preceded by the Gzhelian (the latest or uppermost subdivision in the Carboniferous) and followed by the Sakmarian.

Stratigraphy
The Asselian Stage was introduced into scientific literature in 1954, when the Russian stratigrapher V.E. Ruzhenchev split it off from the Artinskian. At the time, the Artinskian still encompassed most of the lower Permian – its current definitions are more restricted. The Asselian is named after the Assel River in the southern Ural Mountains of Kazakhstan and Bashkortostan.

The base of the Asselian Stage is equivalent to the base of the Cisuralian Series and the Permian System. It is defined as the point in the stratigraphic record where fossils of the conodont Streptognathodus isolatus first appear. The global reference profile for the base (the GSSP or golden spike) is located in the valley of the Aidaralash River, near Aqtöbe in the Ural Mountains of Kazakhstan. Other reference species which approximate the base of the Asselian include Streptognathodus invaginatus and ''Str. nodulinearis (conodonts) and Sphaeroschwagerina vulgaris and Sph. fusiformis'' (fusilinids).

The top of the Asselian stage (the base of the Sakmarian stage) is at the first appearance of conodont species Mesogondolella monstra.

Asselian biostratigraphy is mostly defined by the evolution of Streptognathodus. There is some debate over the exact sequence of species; one option, according to Henderson (2018), lists the following biozones, from youngest to oldest:
 * zone of Streptognathodus postfusus / Streptognathodus barskovi
 * zone of Streptognathodus fusus
 * zone of Streptognathodus constrictus
 * zone of Streptognathodus sigmoidalis
 * zone of Streptognathodus cristellaris
 * zone of Streptognathodus glenisteri
 * zone of Streptognathodus isolatus

Regional equivalents
In North America, the regional equivalent of the Asselian is the Nealian stage. The Nealian (lower Wolfcampian) is named after the Neal Ranch Formation in the Glass Mountains of west Texas. In South China, the Asselian is equivalent to at least the lower part of the regional Zisongian stage of the Chuanshanian Series. Both the Nealian and Zisongian are defined by fusilinid assemblages, so their precise correlation to the conodont-based global timescale is uncertain.

The Asselian occupies a portion of major terrestrial sediment units in Europe, namely the Autunian series of France and the lower Rotliegend of Germany.

Notable formations

 * Altenglan Formation (Germany)
 * Archer City Formation (Texas, USA)
 * Council Grove Group (in part) (Kansas / Nebraska, USA)
 * Dunkard Group (in part) (West Virginia / Ohio / Pennsylvania, USA)
 * Goldlauter Formation (Germany)
 * Manebach Formation (Germany)
 * Meisenheim Formation (Germany)
 * Muse Formation (France)

Mount Larcom, Queensland

Mount Larcom is the name of a mountain, a rural town and locality in the Gladstone Region, Queensland, Australia. In the, the locality of Mount Larcom had a population of 332 people.

Geography
The town is in the south-western corner of the locality is at the junction of the Bruce Highway and Gladstone–Mount Larcom Road (State Route 58) approximately 70 km south of the city of Rockhampton.

The mountain, rising to 632 m, is 10.8 km east of the town in the locality of Targinnie, but is a dominant feature on the horizon, especially from the town of Gladstone.

The locality of Mount Larcom has the following mountains:

 * Bottle Tree Hill (-23.8148°N, 150.9702°W) 120 m
 * Curley (-23.7873°N, 151.0007°W) 264 m
 * Limestone Hill (-23.772°N, 150.9736°W) 110 m

The North Coast railway line enters the locality from the south (East End / Aldoga) and passes through the town which is served by Mount Larcom railway station (-23.8078°N, 150.9787°W). The line then forms the south-west boundary of the locality with Machine Creek before exiting to the exits to the west (Ambrose).

History
Commander Matthew Flinders named Mount Larcom (the mountain) on 4 August 1802, after a Royal Navy colleague Captain Thomas Larcom. For most of the colonial period the spelling for the name of the region around the mountain was Mount Larcombe. It reverted to the spelling of Mount Larcom in the early 1900s.

In 1854, the region was made available for pastoral farming by the colonial British Government of New South Wales. The following year, William Young, a Scottish colonist who was previously a storekeeper at Gayndah, established the Mount Larcombe sheep station.

Frontier conflict occurred between British colonists and the Aboriginal residents at Mount Larcombe. William Young gave food and clothing to the local Aboriginal people in exchange for their land and their labour shearing his sheep, but also drove them away when they were not needed. He once kicked and pointed a gun at an Aboriginal man for not leaving a hut when told to. Native Police troopers were stationed on the property and in November 1855 they opened fire on a group of Aboriginal people at Mount Larcombe killing one. It was thought that some of the people shot at were involved in an attack a month earlier on the Native Police barracks located at nearby Rannes. In late December 1855, those that survived the shooting mounted a revenge attack on Mount Larcombe, taking sheep and supplies, and killing five station-hands including three men, one woman and an Aboriginal servant. William Young was away at Gladstone at the time reporting the drowning death of his superintendent. He was quickly informed of the killings and a punitive expedition was organised under the command of Lieutenant John Murray of the Native Police. Murray's group set out and later surrounded a camp of sleeping Aboriginal people at Hourigan's Creek. They subsequently killed a large number of people there and then tracked down other groups of Indigenous people in the following weeks as far as the northern banks of the Fitzroy River shooting them as they found them. Mount Larcombe sheep station was subjected to another series of killings in 1858. In October of that year, another three station-hands were killed by Aboriginal people. Second Lieutenant Frederick Wheeler of the Native Police was ordered to investigate the killings. Wheeler together with his troopers and William Young tracked down several camps of Aboriginal people but was only able to take seven female prisoners. Wheeler wrote in his report that they "were not able to shoot any...cannot say whether any of the murderers are amongst the mob, but they must all suffer, for the innocent must be held responsible for the guilt of others...going to Gladstone tomorrow but do not suppose to be able to shoot any." After resupplying at Gladstone, Wheeler set out again along the coastal estuaries where "some firing took place but unluckily no blacks were shot." Lieutenant John Murray with his own detachment of troopers then joined with Wheeler's group at Mount Larcombe and together set out on a large punitive expedition to the upper reaches of the Calliope River. Murray later reported that they came upon a large camp of Aboriginal people in that region and shot dead five of them, expressing disappointment that not more had been killed. Heavy rain interrupted further punitive measures and Wheeler and Murray returned to their barracks. Murray left instructions to Wheeler to conduct further operations to track down Aboriginal people when resupplied and the weather improved.

Mount Larcombe Provisional School opened on 13 November 1882, but closed for some time during the 1890s due to low student numbers. In 1909, it was upgraded to be Mount Larcombe State School and was renamed Mount Larcom State School in 1913. In 1964, a secondary department (Years 8-10) was added to the school.

In 1909, township allotments were advertised for sale as 'Mt Larcombe Estate', with the map showing the Gladstone railway station adjacent to the property.

Mount Larcom Post Office opened by December 1909 (a receiving office had been open from 1904, first known as Mount Larcombe).

Butlerville State School opened on 18 February 1918 but closed circa 1919. In 1922, it reopened and closed permanently in 1927. The school was located on a 5 acre site on the western side of The Narrows Road (-23.7525°N, 151.0324°W).

The first of Mount Larcom's annual agricultural shows was held on 8 October 1919. It was opened by George Carter, the Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Port Curtis.

All Saints Anglican Church opened on Thursday 29 September 1921.

On Sunday 16 July 1922, the Catholic church was opened by Bishop of Rockhampton Joseph Shiel. It was named for Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The land cost £64 and the church building cost £441.

The ambulance station first opened in 1924; its replacement opened on 20 December 2001.

The Mount Larcom library building opened in 2004.

Michael Branch (footballer)

Paul Michael Branch (born 18 October 1978) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker from 1995 to 2010.

He played Premier League football for Everton after coming through the club's youth academy, also playing for the England U21 side where he earned one cap. He went on to play in the Football League with Manchester City, Birmingham City, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Reading, Hull City, Bradford City and Chester City before finishing his career in Non-league football with Halifax Town and Burscough.

On 9 November 2012, he was jailed for seven years for serious drug offences.

Playing career
Born in Liverpool, Branch started his career with the Everton academy, before making his senior debut on 22 February 1996 as a substitute at Manchester United. He featured regularly in the first team during the 1996–97 season, scoring his only goals for the club.

He was unable to live up to early promise and was loaned to Manchester City, where he reunited with his former Everton manager Joe Royle. He made his Manchester City debut on 31 October 1998 in a 2–1 win against Colchester United. He started a further three games, but returned to Everton having failed to score a single goal.

After failing to break back into contention at Goodison Park, he was loaned to First Division Wolverhampton Wanderers in late 1999. He scored four times during his loan spell here, and the deal was made permanent for £500,000. He played regularly over the remainder of the 1999–2000 season and the following campaign, but added just six further goals. During the 1999/2000 season Branch scored a controversial goal during Wolves home fixture with Nottingham Forest, after he picked up what he thought was a loose ball played by the Forest keeper Dave Beasant who intended to put the ball out of play so Lee Naylor could receive treatment, in which he scored. But Beasant and other Forest players confronted him for what he had done and fellow players and officials had to split apart the two parties. He was then forced to be substituted shortly after for his own safety.

Following the arrival of Dave Jones as Wolves manager, Branch fell out of favour and had loan spells while transfer-listed with Reading and then Hull City over the next two years. He finally left Molineux to join Bradford City in July 2003 after not being offered a new contract.

His stay with Bradford City lasted just a solitary season before he joined newly promoted Chester City. He endured a turbulent spell with the League Two club, where he was taken off the transfer list in July 2006 after appearing to patch up his differences with manager Mark Wright. After failing to regain his place in the team, he left the club in October 2006.

In 2010, Branch was set to start playing for Burscough F.C. in the Northern Premier League

Personal life
On 10 July 2012, Branch was arrested by officers of the Serious Organised Crime Agency. At a later trial at Chester Crown Court, Branch admitted charges of possession with intent to supply class A and class B drugs. One charge related to the handover of just under 3 kg of amphetamine to another man in a Liverpool car park in March 2012; a second charge related to the seizure of 1 kg of cocaine from his home address in Otterspool, Liverpool in July 2012. On 8 November 2012, Branch was jailed for seven years. His appeal against sentence was dismissed, on 14 February 2013, by three judges at the Court of Appeal. He was eventually released after three years, and in September 2016 was training to become an accountant.

Santana do Paraíso

Santana do Paraíso is a Brazilian municipality situated in the state of Minas Gerais which was founded in 1992. It forms part of the Vale do Aço metropolitan area. Its estimated population in 2020 was of 35,369 inhabitants.

Before its foundation, Santana do Paraiso's location was a rest spot for people who travelled the road between the cities of Ferros and Coronel Fabriciano. The region is host to the "Cachoeiras de Taquaraçu" (Taquaraçu Waterfalls), in which horses could drink water and travellers could rest near. As time went by, people began building houses on the location, and a city was eventually established, being named Santana do Paraíso in homage to Nossa Senhora de Santana, a local saint.

Economy
The municipality is the less important and less populated of the four main cities of Vale do Aço. Even so, Santana do Paraíso has in its territory some of the region's most important services, as Usiminas Airport and the Queiroz Galvão waste treatment area, that attends the four cities.

Mayors

 * Antônio Luiz - 1993
 * Helvécio Matias de Oliveira - 1993~1996
 * Juarez Antônio da Costa - 1997~2000

Schmitten im Taunus

Schmitten im Taunus (until 25 August 2021 Schmitten) is a municipality in the Hochtaunuskreis in Hessen, Germany.

Geography
Schmitten is the highest community in the Taunus, approximately 24km north of Frankfurt am Main, within which is the Großer Feldberg (881m).

Neighbouring communities
Schmitten borders in the north on the community of Weilrod and the town of Usingen, in the east on the towns of Neu-Anspach and Bad Homburg, in the south on the towns of Oberursel and Königstein, and in the west on the communities of Glashütten and Waldems (Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis).

Constituent communities
The greater community has nine centres (until municipal reform in 1972, all independent communities) named Arnoldshain, Brombach, Dorfweil, Hunoldstal, Niederreifenberg, Oberreifenberg, Schmitten, Seelenberg and Treisberg.

History
Schmitten had its first documented mention in 1399 as Waldschmidt. The name comes from a nail-making smith in the woods nearby (Wald is German for "forest"; Schmidt has the same root as Schmiede – smith) which were attached to Hattstein Castle(mentioned in 1215). The Hattstein Knights ("Hazechenstein") were akin to the Reifenbergers ("Riffinberg"), possibly even the same. These families' origins were either in the Westerwald area north of the Lahn or the Limburg area. In the Walsdorfer Gründungsurkunde ("Walsdorf Founding Document") of 1156, a "Guntramus de Hazechenstein" is named.

The Hattstein Knights, whose castle was destroyed several times, had property in Bad Camberg, Usingen ("Hattsteiner Weiher"), Stockheim, Weilbach, Aschaffenburg, Mainaschaff, Königstein and Frankfurt am Main. The Hattsteiners also participated in the founding of Münzenberg Castle in the Wetterau.

The noble family von Hattstein was throughout the Middle Ages one of Hesse's most influential families. Baron Marquard von Hattstein was Bishop of Speyer (1560–1581).

Together with the Knights of Kronberg, the Hattsteiners and Reiffenbergers declared the so-called "Kronberg Feud" in 1389. When on 13 May a great force from Frankfurt swept to Kronberg Castle, Hanau and Electorate of the Palatinate troops rushed to help those being beset, driving the Frankfurt forces off on 14 May in the Battle of Eschborn and taking 620 prisoners, among them the mayor, a few noble council members and all the town's bakers, butchers, locksmiths and shoemakers. Only a ransom payment of 73,000 golden guilders ended the fight with Frankfurt and laid the groundwork for the Frankfurter Landwehr fortifications and Frankfurt's four watchtowers.

The noble family of the Hattstein Knights, which was inseparably bound with Schmitten's history, came to an end with Johann Constantin Philipp von Hattstein's death in 1767.

Arnoldshain
Saint Lawrence's Church (Laurentiuskirche) at Arnoldshain was first mentioned early in the 13th century in the Rotulus omnium iurium (Directory of all rights). A few expansions to the once eight-sided chapel notwithstanding, the old part is preserved to this day. The Laurentiuskirche is thereby one of the oldest buildings still in use in the Hochtaunus. In a glass window from 1480 one can still clearly see the Reifenberg family's coat of arms.

Politically Arnoldshain belonged to the Lords of Hattstein, but later partly under Reifenberg (Bassenheim) rule.

Dorfweil
Dorfweil had its first documentary mention in 772. Lying 410 m above sea level in the Weil Valley, the community has many hiking trails. With an area of 367ha and 684 inhabitants (as of the end of 2004), Dorfweil is one of Schmitten's smallest constituent communities.

Großer Feldberg
The Taunus's highest mountain attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, especially from the Frankfurt Rhein-Main Region.

In Oberreifenberg lifts for skiing and sledding are abundant. The main attraction, however, is the Taunus's nature and many kilometres of hiking trails.

Treisberg
The lookout tower on the 663-m-high Pferdskopf ("Horse's Head") near Treisberg affords a fantastic view of the Taunus landscape and is the object of many outings. In the winter, skiers and tobogganers are drawn to the Taunus's most attractive skilifts.

Weiltal
Rising on the Feldberg, the little brook Weil snakes its way through the Hochtaunus Nature Park through to Weilburg. Alongside the Weil runs the Weiltalwanderweg (Weil Valley Hiking Trail). A Weil Valley visit is popular among families and nature lovers, but also for cyclists and motorcyclists.

Besides the yearly Weiltal-Marathon, the traditional "Rund um den Henninger-Turm" bicycle race also runs through the Weil Valley.

Limes
The Roman Empire's old border runs above Niederreifenberg and Oberreifenberg across the crest of the Taunus. Within Schmitten's municipal limits lies the Limeskastell Kleiner Feldberg, a Roman fort. The preserved foundation walls offer a glimpse into Roman history.

Reifenberg Castle ruins
The castle's keep and tower are preserved and loom over Oberreifenberg and the Weil Valley.

Municipal council
The municipal elections on 26 March 2006 yielded the following results: Note: FWG is a citizens' coalition.
 * CDU 10 seats (2001: 9 seats)
 * SPD 3 seats (2001: 5 seats)
 * Greens 3 seats (2001: 3 seats)
 * FDP 4 seats (2001: 4 seats)
 * UBB 4 seats (2001: 5 seats)
 * FWG 7 seats (2001: 5 seats)

Partnerships
Schmitten maintains partnerships with the following places, all in France:

Educational institutions
The community of Schmitten has two primary schools.
 * Jürgen-Schuhmann-Schule in Arnoldshain
 * Grundschule Reifenberg in Niederreifenberg

Furthermore, there exists in Arnoldshain an Evangelical Academy called the "Martin Niemöller" Haus.

Sports and leisure

 * Schmitten (the main town) offers Hesse's highest outdoor swimming pool.
 * In Niederreifenberg, quad bikes may be hired.
 * In Oberreifenberg the Taunatours company offers rock climbing.

Notable residents

 * Oil-drilling pioneer Anton Raky was born in Seelenberg in 1868.
 * Theologian Anton Abt was born in Seelenberg in 1841.
 * German singer Ivan Rebroff lived at the edge of the Hunodstal Valley.
 * The German writer Gerhard Zwerenz lived in Arnoldshain.

Talk:Daniel Lambert

Source
Source is at http://www.familylambert.net/History/bios/daniel.html - the text from this is commented out within the Wikipedia article. The Stamford story is almost certainly apocryphal, as he happened to die in the town during a visit and was never a resident. I'm also going to add some information from the Oxford DNB. -- ajn (talk) 13:36, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

quote?
This seems a bit quote-ish - what does the source say?

"His home was described as having the air of a fashionable resort, rather than that of an exhibition, and he declared himself greatly pleased at the politeness and respect he generally received from those paying to meet him, and at the fact that his visitors treated him with courtesy and not simply as a spectacle"

Its the "greatly" part that disturbs me. If this is heading for FAC then someone will surely flag that. Parrot of Doom 20:36, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

 * His apartments there had more the air of a place of fashionable resort, than of an exhibition ; and as long as the town continued full, he was visited by a great deal of the best company. The dread he felt on coming to London, lest he should be exposed to indignity and insult from the curiosity of some of his visitors, was soon removed by the politeness and attention which he universally experienced. There was not a gentleman in town from his own county, but went to see him, not merely gazing at him as a spectacle, but treating him in the most friendly and soothing manner, which, he has declared, is too deeply impressed upon his mind ever to be forgotten. I was trying to keep as close as possible to the meaning and flavour of the original without quoting verbatim. "Greatly" can certainly go. – iride  scent  13:42, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I think its a mistake to borrow the style of another writer, particularly one who wrote so long ago. I'd stick to your own style, and if you must use older prose put it into quotes; otherwise it stands out, as it does here. Parrot of Doom 14:12, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Does that work? I don't want to lose this completely—it's one of the few sources for his own feelings on going from "shy recluse" to "celebrity" almost overnight. – iride  scent  14:20, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * That's better, yes. I changed visitors to customers. Parrot of Doom 14:48, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I have a supplementary question: "He disliked changing his clothes, and was in the habit of each morning putting on the clothes he had worn the day before, regardless of whether they were still wet". Why would his clothes be wet? Malleus Fatuorum 20:44, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The source in question as regards the wet clothes reads "The extraordinary share of health he has enjoyed has not been the result of any unusual precaution on his part, as he has in many instances accustomed himself to the total neglect of those means by which men in general endeavour to preserve that inestimable blessing. As a proof of this, the following fact, is related from his own lips. Before his encreasing size prevented his partaking in the sports of the field, he never could be prevailed upon when he returned home at night from these excursions, to change any part of his clothes, however wet they might be, and he put them on again the next morning, tlrough they were perhaps so thoroughly soaked, as to leave behind them their mark on the floor. Notwithstanding this, he never knew what it was to take cold. On one of these occasions he was engaged with a party of young men in a boat, in drawing a pond. Knowing that a principal part of this diversion always consists in sousing each other as much as possible, Lambert, before he entered the boat, walked, in his clothes, up to his chin into the water. He remained the whole of the day in this condition, which to any other man must have proved intolerably irksome. At night, on retiring to bed, he stripped off shirt and all, and the next morning, putting on his clothes again, wet as they were, he resumed the diversion with the rest of his companions. Nor was this all; for lying down in the bottom of the boat, he took a comfortable nap for a couple of hours, and though the weather was rather severe, he experienced no kind of inconvenience from what might justly be considered as extreme indiscretion." I thought this was unusual enough behaviour that it certainly warranted a mention, but insignificant enough in the broad scheme of things that it didn't warrant a long explanation. – iride  scent  13:42, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Which gaol?
There appear to have been two gaols in Highcross Street, Leicester both built in 1792 to replace an earlier gaol in the same street. One built on the Hospital Chapel site, for Borough prisoners, and the second, nearer the High Cross, for County prisoners. The inmates of the latter were moved to Welford Road nick in 1828, and the Borough prisoners moved into the County gaol. I always thought Lambert was gaoler at the Guildhall, where his clothes are displayed (but I'm probably wrong). Ning-ning (talk) 21:01, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Blue Boar Lane (Lambert's birthplace) ran down the side of the Blue Boar inn, which faced Highcross Street. The Blue Boar itself was reputed to have been known as the White Boar (the name Blue Bell used in a footnote may be an error). Ning-ning (talk) 07:49, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm fairly certain he was gaoler of the Borough rather than the County gaol; his pension was paid by the Leicester magistrates not the Leicestershire sheriff, and every source (including the man himself) concurs that his gaol closed in 1805. I've taken out the image, which is potentially of the wrong gaol and not at all necessary to the article (it was only there to break up the monotony of a large block of text, as there aren't any images of his early life).
 * While most Blue Boars were White Boars which had been hastily-repainted after Bosworth, thanks to its Richard connections the one in Leicester has been studied quite a bit, and there are a lot of sources to say the former name was "Blue Bell" in this particular case. Given the volume of sources, I'd say this is a situation where verifiability not truth kicks in, even if it's not accurate. – iride  scent  13:50, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

 * From the Susanna Watts books linked to above, it appears that the gaols in Highcross Street were new constructions of 1791 (County) and 1792 (Town). She mentions a bridewell attached to the County Gaol (which was the one in the illustration), which seems a likely candidate for Lambert's place of employment- the two gaols were responses to Howard's suggested reforms and unlikely to have been closed in 1805. Watts states that the Blue Boar was renamed the Blue Bell. Ning-ning (talk) 05:02, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Causes
I didn't want to do this without first asking, but I think the "possible causes" should be placed further down the article, integrated with a "Modern view" section. I also think that the section on Józef Boruwłaski could be trimmed to lose much of his biog, and integrated with Lambert's time in London. What do you think? Parrot of Doom 21:28, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

 * In my early drafts of this I had the "possible causes" at the end after his death, but I felt it didn't really work. Although it breaks the chronological order, I think it's better from the reader's viewpoint to have the modern opinion on his diagnosis next to the list of symptoms (and lack of symptoms) from his examination at the time.
 * I'm reluctant to lose the section on Boruwłaski. Although his meeting with Lambert is only tangential to Lambert's life, the section serves a secondary purpose in showing that Lambert's juggling of "freak-show exhibit" and "respectable local citizen" parallel lives had an established precedent. His biography here is only four lines long, so I don't think he's been given undue weight. – iride  scent  14:04, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm ok with the "possible causes" bit then. For Boruwaski, if you want to give a small biog, do it just after their first meeting.  That way, at the point where the reader is thinking "Boruwaski who?", you can step back and tell them.  Its less jarring then suddenly jumping from a person we know, to one we don't, and to whom we've been offered no introduction.  Once you've described Boruwaski, then you can explain to the reader why he merits a mention - you've already done this with a sentence at the end of that section.  I'll change it in one revision, if you don't like it you can change it back easily enough. Parrot of Doom 14:17, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I also reckon that the structure, particularly the headings, should be reformatted. Its a little bit choppy and difficult to follow - I'd use a simple level 2 "Biography", and level 3 headings for each section until his death. Then revert to level 2 headings for anything post-mortem. Parrot of Doom 21:30, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Not sure about that; it would mean one section taking up 75% of the article. There's a balance to be struck between "choppy short sections" and "indigestible chunks". – iride  scent  14:04, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

 * See Elizabeth Canning for an example of what I mean. Parrot of Doom 14:17, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Does that work? Not sure about the level-5 header, but I can't see an obvious way to get rid of it. – iride  scent  14:51, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

 * This would by my preferred layout. The article is almost entirely chronological, the only "step out" of that chronology is the medical view. Parrot of Doom 15:03, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Consider emphasizing the second paragraph. This man was obese. Obesity is caused by high caloric intake. Cushings or elephantiasis would not explain what we see in the photos. This should not be a curious condition and he suffered from a common ailment. Flight.Doc (talk) 04:27, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

If Lambert ate meat and drank beer because that was the done thing at the time, why wasn't everyone as fat as him? If his lifestyle and diet was not unique, why is it considered any kind of explanation for his unique condition? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.58.233.105 (talk) 01:53, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

A Gaol Keeper, Not a Goal Keeper
The thing is that when I first saw this article, I read it wrong. I thought he was a 739-pound goal keeper. I was about to say! Because if he had been a goal keeper, his team would have had a grossly unfair advantage! Captainsiberia (talk) 02:20, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Question and suggestion. Isn't gaoler the more usual term and also less like to cause confusion with goalkeeper? GDallimore (Talk) 01:12, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, "gaoler" returns 40x more Google hits than "gaol keeper" and is much less confusing. It should be changed. Andrew Keenan Richardson 17:59, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * They're not synonyms. A gaol keeper is the manager of the gaol (the governor, in today's terms); a gaoler is the guy who locks the prisoners in the cells (the warder, in today's terms). Calling a gaol keeper a gaoler is equivalent to calling a brothel keeper a prostitute. – iridescent 2  18:02, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Images
The images File:Daniel Lambert.jpeg and File:Daniel Lambert.jpg seem very similar - the latter appears to be battered and dirty compared to the former. There are enough differences, particularly in the face, to suggest that different artists were involved. But are both required? -- Red rose64 (talk) 19:32, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm ambivalent. If one is to be kept, I'd strongly favour File:Daniel Lambert.jpg; despite the fading, it's of far higher quality (compare the faces). The main reason I kept File:Daniel Lambert.jpeg is that it was the image illustrating this article when I started, and removing images from articles altogether sometimes causes arguments. They're intentionally spaced very far apart in the article. – iride  scent  19:36, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I'd remove the more colourful image, I agree with you that the older, scratchy image, is superior. Parrot of Doom 19:53, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Removed it. Since the original uploader hasn't edited for over a year, hopefully there won't be a "how dare you" moment. – iride  scent  20:04, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

BBC Radio 4 programme about Daniel Lambert and other big 'uns
is on now - will be available for a week on Listen Again. Details here. 86.140.128.91 (talk) 08:38, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

awkward phrasing
in the header of the article one sentence reads:

"In 1805 the gaol of which Lambert was keeper closed."

This sentence reads very poorly IMHO. the article already tells us he was a gaol keeper so i don't think it is necessary to reiterate this in the sentence about the gaol closure.

the "of which" is particularly cumbersome. i suggest the line read something like "Lambert's gaol closed in 1805", "The gaol that Lambert kept was closed in 1805", "In 1805 Lambert's gaol was closed" or any other permutation that doesn't do the "of which" thing.

LazyMapleSunday (talk) 00:10, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Hehe, apparently the sentence was finally changed. However, I must say as a nonnative that this "of which" sounds perfectly natural to me, and I am sure most natives would find it equally natural. Why this tendency to (over-)simplify everything? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.10.71.116 (talk) 14:09, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Headings
The whole article is a biography so it is redundant to have a "Biography" heading. I propose deleting this heading and promoting all its sub-headings up one level. I routinely do this with bio articles but as this is an FA, I am posting here to solicit other views. – ukexpat (talk) 02:15, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree. Richerman (talk) 02:46, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

 * I concur. Raul654 (talk) 05:26, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

 * See the section above. I don't think the 'Biography' heading is necessary, but someone wanted it added. –  iridescent 2  10:32, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Well I think it needs to be changed - three posters here agree that the Biography heading is unnecessary, one person above wanted it. I'll make the change later today unless there are strong objections. – ukexpat (talk) 14:02, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Goalkeeper?
He is not a Goalkeeper, he is a Gaol keeper (as in prison). My edit was reverted.Rmsuperstar99 (talk) 04:40, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * To avoid ambiguity betweeen goalkeeper and gaolkeeper, which can be easily misread and confused, why not use 'gaoler' or 'jailer' instead? 81.129.134.7 (talk) 07:50, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Because his job was gaol keeper. (Misreading is its own punishment - it is not the purpose of Wikipedia to alleviate the distress of those who can't be bothered to read it properly. The 'ambiguity' between goalkeeper and gaolkeeper is resolved by the obvious difference in spelling.)78.86.229.20 (talk) 10:00, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

 * They're two different things. A gaol keeper is the manager of the gaol; a gaoler is the guy who locks the prisoners in the cells. Calling a gaol keeper a gaoler is equivalent to calling a brothel keeper a prostitute. – iridescent 2  10:31, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you have a source for that distinction? Wiktionary defines 'gaoler' as 'the keeper of a gaol', and Wikipedia doesn't make a distinction at gaol.  Good writing is important.  Andrew Keenan Richardson 18:08, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * How important is it? Like Who Shot J.R.? important or being baptized so as not to spend eternity in the Eternal Lake of Fire? Do be specific as to how utterly important good writing is. You should particularly emphasize this to the editor(s) who wrote the article. Be pedantic and condescending for effect. We're all agog. --71.192.35.112 (talk) 18:41, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Height
Given all the comments about his girth and his weight, is there any record of how tall he was? 149.171.155.164 (talk) 04:57, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree, the article is not comprehensive if his height is not stated. — GabeMc (talk) 05:24, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It is stated in 'Medical Examination' that his height was measured to be 5'11". Fickce4 (talk) 05:52, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Template:Infobox person?
I have not done a thorough search to see if this has been discussed previously, but I noticed this article does not contain Template:Infobox person. Would an infobox improve the article? -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:52, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * No. Infoboxes are useful for articles which are part of a series and there's a need to make the articles easily comparable (members of a sports team, towns and villages, animal species etc). They're inappropriate for "stand-alone" topics, as (assuming the lead is properly written) they add nothing that isn't already covered in the lead. – iridescent 2  18:58, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

 * I completely disagree - there are hundreds, probably thousands, of articles about individuals that have infoboxes, where the individuals are not "part of a series" - e.g. academics, artists, other historical figures. Infoboxes provide a useful snapshot of relevant information (hence the name) for the reader without having to read the lead or the rest of the article. – ukexpat (talk) 19:31, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

 * I see no purpose for an infobox. Basic information is contained in the lead (and an encylopedia does not have to cater to those with a three-second attention span), and filling in more detailed fields gives undue influence to the information added and often involves original research.  This article would not be improved by an infobox.  Kablammo (talk) 21:16, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

What a treat — a well-written article about a topic I knew nothing about before today. This is what I love about Wikipedia! :) MeegsC | Talk 21:19, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

strange sentence
"He disliked changing his clothes, and each morning habitually wore the clothes he had worn the day before, regardless of whether they were still wet;[14] by Lambert's own account he suffered no colds or other ill effects from this behaviour.[15]"

The common cold is caused by a virus, right? It isn't caused by wearing wet clothes afaik. Does this need rephrasing? Wasbeer 21:35, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
 * A common misconception is that cold cloths = catch a cold. Perhaps Lambert also thought this.  Remember, nobody then knew anything about viruses. Parrot of Doom 21:51, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

 * No; you're decades ahead of time; in this period medical orthodoxy was that disease was directly caused by environmental factors. The existence of viruses wasn't even suspected until the 1880s, and even bacteria were considered a crank theory until the 1850s; the common cold has its name because people in this period believed that it was caused directly by cold. – iridescent  21:52, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

 * I know. I was just wondering if there is a way to rephrase it so that it is clear that it wasn't necessary for him to worry about that. Wasbeer 03:54, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

It really isn't a stretch to identify Mr. J. Drakard of Stamford, publisher, with John Drakard. Everyone agreed? Charles Matthews (talk) 11:12, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Delete. University dormitory whose only notable characteristics are already mentioned in University_of_Hong_Kong; miscapitalized so unsuitable for redirect. choster 13:36, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiDefcon

 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 ambiguous.

I count 8 people explicitly arguing for a straight "delete", 8 people arguing for straight "keep", 4 arguing to either "delete or userfy", 2 arguing to "keep or userfy", 2 arguing for straight "userfy" and one abstain.

Even counting all the "delete or userfy" and the straight "userfy" votes as arguments against keeping in the Wikipedia-space, this fails to reach the minimum threshold for rough consensus.

This nomination was started on 30 Aug. It's been over 2 weeks. The discussion here petered out over a week ago. I'm going to call time on this discussion and close it as a "no consensus" but without prejudice against an immediate renomination if new evidence becomes available about how the vandals actually react. Rossami (talk) 02:57, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

WikiDefcon
The intent is to create an indicator of how much Wikipedia is under attack from vandals, and to raise this indicator e.g. when Willy comes around, so as to notify admins to get on the case asap. Proponents allege that it already has been instrumental in stopping a Willy attack. However, several people have mentioned on the talk page that they consider it a bad idea since it is basically a scoreboard for vandals, and we shouldn't be giving those any attention. Userfying has been suggested but the creators strongly disagree. So this seems the proper venue. Radiant_ >|< 13:37, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - an attention-getter for vandals, not to mention very juvenile. No vandal attack has ever caused us to lock the database; to even suggest such a circumstance gives the vandals a goal to aim for. — Dan | Talk 17:26, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, but userfication would be ok. By description this is redundant with WP:AN/I and WP:AIAV and does act as something of "hey lets go for DefCon-x". I saw it in the title of IRC, looked at the page and was none-the-wiser about what I should do to help out. -Splash 17:29, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or userfy. I find it useful. Andre ( talk ) 18:55, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy or delete. I've moved it to User:Coolcat/WikiDefcon, as I don't think it would be eligible for deletion as a user page. Vacuum c 18:57, August 30, 2005 Agree with above. Vacuum c 22:37, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * You noticed that we've barely begun the discussion, that they don't want it userfied and that this page is specifically for debating things like user pages? -Splash 19:47, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Anyway, someone needs to delete the resultant cross-space redirect. -Splash 19:56, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

 * KEEP It hasn't been 7 days since it was proposed. It is under developement and vote. A lot of people including Jimmy Wales himself is considering pros and cons. Wikiprojects and proposed policies should not be vfded at all instead they should be rejected/accepted, depending on concensus. --Cool Cat My Talk 23:10, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

 * It seems just like VfD, though, doesn't it? -- Visviva 01:03, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * In that it is a place where the deletion of pages is discussed and serves part of the purpose that used to be served by VFD, that similarity is entirely intentional. Uncle G 11:39:42, 2005-09-01 (UTC)
 * Userfy. Most of the participants in the discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiDefcon are in favor of userfying it. If there is discussion going on someplace else, especially if it represents a different consensus, please add a link here or in that talk page. FreplySpang (talk) 00:35, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete would also be okay with me, by the way. I object to the militaristic symbolism. FreplySpang (talk) 20:01, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep without prejudice to a renomination. At present, all arguments for and against this project are speculative (see Wikipedia talk:WikiDefcon).  If this page is persuasively linked to spikes in vandalism, then it should be deleted, not userfied.  But if it has no such impact, then it arguably provides a benefit to the community, and is therefore appropriate in Wikipedia: space.   -- Visviva 01:14, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It will certainly spike in response to vandalism: someone will change it! What do you mean, exactly? -Splash 01:35, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy, but I tend towards voting delete as it semi-duplicates WP:VIP. -Sean Curtin 01:55, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, discussion appears to be ongoing at the page. Christopher Parham (talk) 04:05, 2005 August 31 (UTC)
 * Delete as vandal magnet; agree with Kelly: WP:BEANS. — Davenbelle 07:32, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep It's not the purpose of VfD to delete this kind of thing. And I'm still waiting for someone to provide evidence that vandals regard this as a scoreboard. --Ryan Delaney talk 08:25, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Evidence. Dan100 (Talk) 17:58, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

 * Userfy or delete. Encouraging vandalism is not helpful. Ambi 10:46, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Vandal scoreboard - potentially rather harmful. (When I first saw it, I thought it was pretty cool. But then I thought more about it... and realised that, on balance, it has more potential for harm than good.) Dan100 (Talk) 17:56, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy to whoever is going to maintain it. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 19:46, 31 August 2005 (UTC) Screw it, delete, since it will be ineffective and will be forgotten over time. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 02:43, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, as it's a bad idea, but I don't see how our user space policy disallows it so I suppose anyone who wants to could recreate it in their user space unless there's huge community opposition to it (which there isn't). --fvw *  00:13, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. A rare case where I agree with deletion of a policy-space page.  All this does is give organized vandals a thermometer they can use to measure the effectiveness of their attacks and coordinate them to achieve maximum effectiveness.  If someone wants to know whether they can help with vandalism, they should go to Recent Changes, and pick up their mop and bucket on the way. --Tony Sidaway Talk  02:42, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't necessarily even agree with the page, but why delete it?  It's a project that may actually gain some legs and turn into a useful vandal fighter.  (For example, the page could take its defcon level from a bot tracking Recent Changes, New Pages, and Deletion, Move and Block logs.  Let's give it a couple months.   ral  315  13:24, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, pending evidence that an increase in Defcon is followed by a further increase in vandalism. It might be better in user space, but I am not convinced it should be forced there. Septentrionalis 21:06, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep A demo of an obvious tool that should be given immediate developer attention.

 * All arguments that this will encourage vandalism are unfounded. You just don't know. You can't extrapolate from a vandalism counter on a user page. In that case, vandalism was relatively light to begin with; I can see how taking notice of it might encourage more. Vandalism is a constant problem for this site as a whole and the social effects of a warning system are, at best, unknown.

 * More to the point, it is foolish and naive of us to take as our anti-vandalism strategy don't take any notice and maybe they'll go away or perhaps  don't let them know we're watching. Police cars are marked (some of them); stores and homes have burglar alarms; and military bases have air-raid sirens. Whatever (unlikely) cost is associated with a warning system, it cannot outweigh its obvious benefits.

 * The true fear at the root of this nomination is that our Community lacks an effective deterrent to vandals. How true. But that lack is repaired by building defenses, not playing possum -- and this tool is an essential defensive element. — Xiong 熊 talk * 02:53, 2005 September 3 (UTC)

 * Delete or userfy as an unnecessary scoreboard for vandals. - ulayiti (talk)   (my RfA)  13:35, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not useful, etc. - brenneman (t) (c)  01:39, 4 September 2005 (UTC) (And does it seem to anyone else we're still voting here?)
 * Abstain. I don't know. It's more likely that a built in software solution would be a better substitute rather than a Template. — Ambush Commander (Talk) 19:13, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. We already have a vandal scoreboard, it's called WP:VIP. The vandals are going to vandalize us anyways. My only concern is who is going to update it, because it seems like a thing a bot would do... but that isn't for discussion here. Give the page a few months as a trial and then let's see how it goes.

All-Star Cup

The All-Star Cup (stylised as "All*Star Cup") is a celebrity golf match first held at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, Wales in 2005 that pitted two teams of celebrities against each other in a Ryder Cup-style competition.

The first series was aired on Sky One, with the second series being covered on ITV with extra coverage on ITV2.

Series 1
In the 2005 competition the American team were captained by Mark O'Meara and the Europeans were captained by Colin Montgomerie. The event was aired on Sky One, presented by Kirsty Gallacher and Jamie Theakston and created by Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

The tournament ended dramatically, with the result only decided on the 18th hole of the final match, when Ronan Keating and Damian Lewis won the hole against Michael Douglas and Mark Spitz to win the cup for Europe by a score of 91–89.

 * Replaced Boris Becker *

Series 2
The 2006 tournament took place from 26 to 28 August and was broadcast across ITV and ITV2 during the August Bank Holiday weekend, with Ant & Dec taking up the role of hosting the live coverage on ITV, and Kirsty Gallacher and Ben Shephard fronting the ITV2 coverage. Colin Montgomerie returned to captain the European team, with the American team now being captained by Todd Hamilton.

Europe won the cup for the second time. Entertainer Bruce Forsyth holed the winning putt, aged 78. He had been dubbed 'The Golfather' by his teammates during the contest.

† James Keach replaced Chazz Palminteri during the second day due to injury. †† ''Jane Seymour is British, but she represented the United States where she is a naturalized citizen.

Cancellation
The All-Star Cup did not have a third series as ITV would not put up the money for 2007.

Bophelong

Bophelong meaning 'a place of life' is a township near Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng, South Africa. It was established in 1955 to house black residents who worked in Vanderbijlpark and Vereeniging.

The location has now been extended by another location right next to it called Muvhango with 18 extensions. As big as the location is, it has only 1 clinic, library, satellite police station, 4 secondary schools and 5 primary schools. The municipality announced in early 2016 that they will build a shopping complex in the location between Extension 14 and Extension 15, which will be called Bophelong Mall. In 2017 during the meeting of the budget, public participation and the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) 2017/2021, these rumors were dismissed, "Nquba dismissed rumours about a new mall was going to be built in Bophelong. He said the billboard that has been put up about the mall being built was made by ‘chancers’ adding that once there's information on this, everyone, including the stakeholders will be made aware."

Neighbouring townships
Neighbouring townships include Sebokeng, Boipatong, Small Farms, Boitumelo, Polokong, Golden Gardens, and Lakeside.

Margaret Craven (writer)

Margaret Craven (March 13, 1901 – July 19, 1980) was an American writer.

Biography
Margaret was the daughter of Arthur J. Craven, a lawyer, and Emily K. Craven. Shortly after she was born, her family, including an older brother, Leslie (born 1889), and her twin brother Wilson, moved from Montana to Bellingham, Washington. After finishing high school in Bellingham, Margaret went to Stanford University (Palo Alto, California) where she majored in history, avoiding English despite her interest and ability in writing.

Upon her graduation with distinction in 1924, she moved from Palo Alto to San Jose, California, where she took a job as secretary to the managing editor of the Mercury Herald. She soon found herself writing the editorials, first over the editor’s initials, then over her own. After the death of the editor, Margaret moved back to Palo Alto and began writing short stories for magazines such as the Delineator. When her father died, her mother came to live with her in California and they moved to San Francisco. There she had an encounter, arranged by Alice B. Toklas, with Gertrude Stein. In 1941 the Saturday Evening Post began accepting her stories. She continued contributing stories to the Post for the next 20 years, although seriously hindered by near-blindness caused by a bacterial infection of the eyes. It was largely owing to her vision problem that during this period she did not write novels, but the problem was overcome around 1960.

Just before then Margaret and her mother moved to Sacramento, California, where her brother Wilson was living. She had learned about the Native-Americans of the northern British Columbia coast, first from her brother Wilson who had visited there, and then from reading published accounts of the native culture. The first result of this was a story for the Post called "Indian Outpost." In 1962, Margaret arranged with the Columbia Coast Mission of the Anglican Church to visit Kingcome and other native Kwakwaka'wakw (Kwakiutl) villages on the B.C. coast. Out of this experience came her first novel, I Heard the Owl Call My Name, which was published in Canada in 1967, and then in 1973 in the U.S. where it became a best seller. The same year it was adapted as a television movie for General Electric Theater on CBS. The American edition of the book sold over one million copies and was translated into several languages. Subsequently, Margaret published a second novel, Walk Gently This Good Earth (1977), an autobiography, Again Calls the Owl (1980), and a collection of stories, The Home Front (1981).

Margaret Craven died at home in Sacramento on July 19, 1980, predeceased by both her mother and her twin brother Wilson.

Taxidermy (Queenadreena album)

Taxidermy is the debut album by English alternative rock band Queenadreena, released in 2000. The enhanced-CD release includes a short film by Martina Hoogland-Ivanow involving time-lapse photography and dream-like visuals.

Release
Taxidermy was released in the United Kingdom on compact disc which features a short film by Martina Hoogland-Ivanow, and as a 12" vinyl LP.

Critical reception
NME wrote of the album: "while carrying on Daisy Chainsaw's predilection for rock as infantile nightmare, here the scope is much wider than a one-track take on banshee pop. There are some obvious precedents, notably Björk and PJ Harvey, but much more than either of those two reference points, this debut album is frequently akin to eavesdropping on psychotherapy."

Singles

 * "X-ing Off the Days" (1999)
 * "Cold Fish" (1999)
 * "Jolene" (2000)
 * "I Adore You" (2000)

Personnel

Lim Giong

Lim Giong (born 7 June 1964) is a Taiwanese musician, DJ, actor, and an active figure in the Taiwanese experimental electronic music scene. He is known for recording rock songs in Taiwanese Hokkien, starting with his first hit song "Marching Forward" in 1990. He is also known as writing film scores for directors such as Hou Hsiao-hsien, Jia Zhangke, and Bi Gan. His has received numerous awards for his work, including the Cannes Soundtrack Award in 2015 for The Assassin.

Early life
Lim was born in Changhua, later moving to Taichung where his parent ran a small food stall. He was educated in public schools and can speak Mandarin fluently, but he chose to sing in the local dialect Taiwanese Hokkien. After he finished his service in the army in 1988, he went to Taipei with the intention of pursuing a music career, and spent the next two years working in restaurants and beer halls.

Career
Lim Giong's music career began in 1990 when he was signed by a record company, and his first album, Marching Forward (向前走) was released in December 1990. The album proved highly successful, selling over 400,000 copies. In his early albums Lim sang exclusively in Taiwanese Hokkien, and his music showed influences from American and British disco-pop, rock, metal, rap as well as Bob Dylan. His songs ranged from love songs to observations of day-to-day reality of life in contemporary Taiwan including schools, military service and traffic. The title song from his first album, which describes his excitement upon his arrival in Taipei, became highly popular, including being used as campaign songs by political parties. It was chosen as the Song of the Year at the 3rd Golden Melody Awards.

His second album. Brother of Spring, was released in early 1992. It chronicles his struggles before he became famous. This year he also started his acting career and association with the films of Hou Hsiao-hsien, first appearing in a cameo in Dust of Angels. He was associated with the genre known as New Taiwanese Song and gave rousing performances of folk-pop songs, such as "A Soundless Place" from the soundtrack of Dust of Angels.

From his third album onwards (Entertainment World, recorded in England in 1993), his compositions, inspired by Taiwanese traditional music, became increasingly infused with electronic music and evolved from drum and bass, break beat, ambient and electronica towards more experimental and freestyle work. This trend continued with his next two albums: China Fun (2002) and Folk Paradise (2003).

Having studied acting and after appearing in films as an actor, he became the favorite composer of Hou Hsiao-hsien, for whom he wrote the music of Goodbye South, Goodbye and Millennium Mambo. From these experiences, he developed an original perspective in the interaction between sound and image in a form called "Stereo Picture" (立體音畫, sometimes translated as "Three Dimensional Sound Picture"). His album Insects Awaken was released in 2005 in Europe on a French label (MK2.) and, a few months later, in Taiwan on the Taiwanese label EWise Digital Multimedia Corp. He was invited to perform music from this album for an outdoor event at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival, with images of the National Palace Museum's collection. This album won the award of Best Crossover Album at the 17th Golden Melody Awards in 2006. He also produced the music for a special 90 seconds commercial film commissioned to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the National Palace Museum, in October 2005. This short film won the gold award at the American Association of Museums' 2006 Muse Award. He also participates in the activities of the Creative Commons in Taiwan.

Lim composed the music for The Assassin, which won the Cannes Soundtrack Award in 2015.

In June 2018, Lim was invited to become a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Bajocian

In the geologic timescale, the Bajocian is an age and stage in the Middle Jurassic. It lasted from approximately 170.9 ±0.8 Ma to around 168.2 ±1.2 Ma (million years ago). The Bajocian Age succeeds the Aalenian Age and precedes the Bathonian Age.

Stratigraphic definitions
The Bajocian Stage takes its name from the Latin name (Bajocae) of the town of Bayeux, in the region of Normandy in France. The stage was named and introduced in scientific literature by French palaeontologist Alcide d'Orbigny in 1842.

The base of the Bajocian stage is defined as the place in the stratigraphic column where fossils of the ammonite genus Hyperlioceras first appear. A global reference profile (a GSSP) for the base is located at Murtinheira, close to Cabo Mondego in Portugal. The top of the Bajocian (the base of the Bathonian) is at the first appearance of ammonite species Parkinsonia convergens.

Subdivision
The Bajocian is often divided into Lower/Early and Upper/Late subages or substages.

In the Tethys domain, the Bajocian contains seven ammonite biozones:
 * zone of Parkinsonia parkinsoni
 * zone of Garantiana garantiana
 * zone of Strenoceras niortense
 * zone of Stephanoceras humphriesianum
 * zone of Sonninia propinquans
 * zone of Witchellia laeviuscula
 * zone of Hyperlioceras discites

History of Woollahra
The name 'Woollahra' is thought to be derived from an Aboriginal word meaning 'camp' or 'meeting ground'.

A petition was submitted in 1859 with 144 signatures of local residents from Darling Point, Paddington and Watsons Bay for the formation of the Municipality. With no petition against formation of the Municipality, Woollahra was proclaimed to be named so on 17 April 1860, and gazetted on 20 April 1860. At the first meeting, The Hon. George Thornton was elected as the first Chairman of Woollahra.

In 1947, after previously acquiring 'Iron House' on Ocean Street, in the 1860s, Council transferred to the current site at Redleaf.

Woollahra largely developed as a residential locality. A few small local industries were established in Woollahra, Double Bay and Paddington; but with the residential gentrification of Paddington and Woollahra in the 1960s, most of these cottage industries had vanished by the end of the 20th century.

Woollahra's cultural heritage has been enriched by the influx of people from many different cultural backgrounds. Some of the influential immigrants to Woollahra have been the Chinese market gardeners, who began leasing land in Double Bay gully and Rose Bay in the 1880s; the Portuguese whalers who settled at Watsons Bay in the 19th century, building a church and becoming a part of the village life, and the many Europeans who migrated after World War II and helped change the face of commercial centres such as Double Bay.

A 2015 review of local government boundaries recommended that the Municipality of Woollahra merge with the Waverley and Randwick councils to form a new council with an area of 58 km2 and support a population of approximately 274,000. Following an independent review, in May 2016 the NSW Government sought to dismiss the council and force its amalgamation with Waverley and Randwick councils. Woollahra Council instigated legal action claiming that there was procedural unfairness and that a KPMG report at the centre of merger proposals had been "misleading". The matter was heard before the NSW Court of Appeal who, in December 2016, unanimously dismissed the council's appeal, finding no merit in its arguments that the proposed merger with its neighbouring councils was invalid. In July 2017, the Berejiklian government decided to abandon the forced merger of the Woollahra, Waverley and Randwick local government areas, along with several other proposed forced mergers.
