William Buchanan (Manitoba politician)

William Buchanan (June 17, 1865 – August 11, 1944) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1914 to 1915, as a member of the Conservative Party.

Buchanan was born at County Tyrone, Ireland. He came to Canada in 1872, was educated at common schools, and worked as a farmer. In religion, he was a member of the Church of England.

He was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1914 provincial election, defeating Liberal candidate J. Seale by 316 votes in the Dauphin constituency. The Conservatives won a majority government, and Buchanan sat as backbench supporter of Rodmond Roblin's administration.

In 1915, the Roblin ministry was forced to resign amid a serious corruption scandal. A new election was called, which the Liberals won in a landslide. Buchanan lost his constituency seat to Liberal William Harrington by 102 votes.

Long mode

In the x86-64 computer architecture, long mode is the mode where a 64-bit operating system can access 64-bit instructions and registers. 64-bit programs are run in a sub-mode called 64-bit mode, while 32-bit programs and 16-bit protected mode programs are executed in a sub-mode called compatibility mode. Real mode or virtual 8086 mode programs cannot be natively run in long mode.

Overview
An x86-64 processor acts identically to an IA-32 processor when running in real mode or protected mode, which are supported modes when the processor is not in long mode.

A bit in the CPUID extended attributes field informs programs in real or protected modes if the processor can go to long mode, which allows a program to detect an x86-64 processor. This is similar to the CPUID attributes bit that Intel IA-64 processors use to allow programs to detect if they are running under IA-32 emulation.

With a computer running legacy BIOS, the BIOS and the boot loader run in real mode. After execution passes to an operating system kernel which supports x86-64, the kernel verifies CPU support for long mode and then executes the instructions to enter it. With a computer running UEFI, the UEFI firmware (except CSM and legacy Option ROM), any UEFI boot loader, and the operating system kernel all run in Long mode.

Memory limitations
While register sizes have increased to 64 bits from the previous x86 architecture, memory addressing has not yet been increased to the full 64 bits. For the time being, it is impractical to equip computers with sufficient memory to require a full 64 bits. As long as that remains the case, load/store unit(s), cache tags, MMUs and TLBs can be simplified without any loss of usable memory. Despite this limitation, software is programmed using full 64-bit pointers, and will therefore be able to use progressively larger address spaces as they become supported by future processors and operating systems.

Current limits
The first CPUs implementing the x86-64 architecture, namely the AMD Athlon 64 / Opteron (K8) CPUs, had 48-bit virtual and 40-bit physical addressing.

The virtual address space of these processors is divided into two 47-bit regions, one starting at the lowest possible address, the other extending down from the largest. Attempting to use addresses falling outside this range will cause a general protection fault.

The limit of physical addressing constrains how much installed RAM is able to be accessed by the computer. On a ccNUMA multiprocessor system (Opteron) this includes the memory which is installed in the remote nodes, because the CPUs can directly address (and cache) all memory regardless if it is on the home node or remote. The 1 TB limit (40-bit) for physical memory for the K8 is huge by typical personal computer standards, but might have been a limitation for use in supercomputers. Consequently, the K10 (or "10h") microarchitecture implements 48-bit physical addresses and so can address up to 256 TB of RAM.

When there is need, the microarchitecture can be expanded step by step without side-effects from software and simultaneously save cost with its implementation. For future expansion, the architecture supports expanding virtual address space to 64 bits, and physical memory addressing to 52 bits (limited by the page table entry format). This would allow the processor to address 264 bytes (16 exabytes) of virtual address space and 252 bytes (4 petabytes) of physical address space.

Talk:New York's congressional districts

2012 Election Results?
All election results for 2012 are incorrect. Also, displayed districts are incorrect due to redistricting. Will be easier once national atlas updates congressional districts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bookworm2002 (talk • contribs) 03:48, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Fix?
Many of these maps show the wrong borough for the named districts -- e.g., maps of Brooklyn for Manhattan districts, maps of Manhattan for Brooklyn and Queens districts. Also note that maps for 6th and 16th districts are (incorrectly) identical. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.117.129.33 (talk) 15:56, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Often when these redlinks are changed to blue ones, the results are VfD'ed as fictional places or illogical topics for articles (see the link under the 24th District). Perhaps someone familiar with the subject could spend some time fixing this? ESkog 23:02, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

ANOTHER FIX TO MAKE: New York's congressional districts were completely redrawn by court order in March 2012, the state primary is today, and so this is totally out of date (to be fair, a lot of members of Congress from NY haven't updated their official websites to reflect the new districts). I wish I had the time to remap everything myself, but I don't. Here's a link to an interactive map of the new districts the New York Times did three months ago. If anyone could deal with this, it'd be awesome. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.55.202.66 (talk) 15:13, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Education of our voters for computerization and Mal Functioning Eqipment in the last primary election of Feb. 2008
I am extremely disappointed with the amount of malfunctioning equipment in the 6th congressional district.

Recognizing that my representative was not supportive of the "People's Choice" it is hoped that he will aid his constituents in overcomping mal-functioning voting machines, as well as develope a mechanism for ensuring that the voters of his district are educated on utilizing the new voting machines for our up-coming election.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/In-N-Out

In-N-Out
I would like to nominate In-N-Out as a featured article. This article is one of the most comprehensive works on this restaurant that I have ever seen. Anything you would like to know about this place has been added to this article. There are plenty of references to prove factuality. The article is stable; there hasn’t been any major revision for a while. This article is surprising well written and is actually compelling to read. Since it is just a burger place it can’t be too controversial of an article. It has been written in appropriate Wikipedia style standards. The article contains a lot of images in appropriate places. Even though the article is comprehensive it is not too long. Topics are divided into different section and stay on topic. SenorAnderson 23:04, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Neutral Oppose. I previously put this article on peer review, but I do not think that all of the comments that were posted there have been applied yet. There still seems to be a lot of lists on the article. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 03:10, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Also, the copyright status of Image:IN-N-OUT BURGER MENU BOARD.JPG (which I raised on its talk page) still has not been addressed yet. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:57, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * And another thing: The history section looks like it still needs work. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 06:07, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

I'll probably be back to add more comments. From the WikiProject on business, "each article should have a section discussing the company's business model, which intimately tied to how a company is put together and one of the major factors usually shaping a companies history" and "management philosophy, vision, and values is also a major element of coporations and their behaviour which often go under-reported". I think you do a pretty good job of outlining both but any enhancements would be welcome. Good luck with the nomination. Cedars 03:47, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Object, due to the following:
 * "just-in-time" isn't really a business model, its an inventory strategy and it hyperlinks to the wrong article. Maybe it might be better to just say the food is "made-to-order"?
 * "locations's" is grammatically incorrect.
 * "food preparation area (where the tomatoes, onions," is an incomplete sentence.
 * Dedicated "mechanical/electrical rooms" strike me as unusual for small fast-food outlets. Please elaborate.
 * "employee locker rooms" are important to understanding the corporate culture, are these just a set of lockers or are they part of a set of employee facilities. Please elaborate.
 * "concrete tables and benches" sound awfully uncomfortable, are they really concrete or are they just set in a paved area?
 * The "two-box" design could use something visual to aid understanding (either a diagram or a photograph).
 * "larger restaurant site, newer restaurants" - the first noun is singular, the second is plural.
 * "the Snyders" are introduced in Advertising without any mention of who they are.
 * The list for the "secret" menu is a bit overwhelming - maybe you could move it to a new article?
 * Link 666x666 in Trivia to the Number of the Beast (numerology), non-Christians might otherwise be baffled by the reference.
 * Details of store numbers would be appreciated.
 * The History could be a bit more detailed.
 * The menu photograph should be relabelled as being in the public domain.
 * Actually, "the Snyders" are introduced in the history section: In-N-Out's first location was opened in October 1948 by Harry and Esther Snyder Zzyzx11 (Talk) 06:07, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Object
 * The copyright status of Image:IN-N-OUT BURGER MENU BOARD.JPG needs to be clarified. Is it GFDL as implied by the upload comment, public domain/no rights reserved as implied by the rights summary, or "fair use" as implied by the discussion page?
 * The "trivia" section should be worked into the prose or removed.
 * There seems to be too much emphasis on the menu.
 * --Carnildo 07:34, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
 * This one's a little overboard. A guy drove up and took a picture of the menu board. In-N-Out may be abe to trademark the menu board, but as a photo of a menu board I don't think there's much claim for copyright of the photo. Now a transcription of the text they may, but not the photo this user took. Besides the template on that image page is wrong. It claims no source information, while the user clearly claims he took the photo. - Taxman Talk 20:05, August 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * There are three conflicting statements as to the copyright status of the image. Before the article can be considered to be of featured status, this needs to be straightened out, or the image needs to be removed from the article.  I don't see what's "overboard" about that. --Carnildo 21:08, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree with removal, especially since this photo can be easily retaken and properly tagged by any number of people. -- Norvy (talk) 22:41, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose featured article candidacy. Except for the recent notation, this is one of the most boring articles on Wiki. It looks like someone dumped their Business 101 weekend writing assignment on here.  --Noitall 06:48, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose Sorry but I must agree..... it's unbelivably, unreadably dull. --PopUpPirate 23:21, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment: I concur with all those who say this article is boring to read. I liked it better when it was a stub. :)   [  +t,  +c ,  +m  ] 08:18, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

Zulia State Anthem

The anthem of Zulia State, "Over Palm Trees", became official by Executive Order of August 15, 1909. It was the result of a public competition sponsored by the then Governor of the State, Jose Ignacio Lares Baralt, who on April 29 of that year, held a lyric and musical contest to select the words and melody of such treasured lyrical piece. The winner of the lyrical category was the famed poet laureate, Udón Perez; in the musical category, the winner was the equally renowned author, Jose Antonio Cháves. The winning entries were officially recognized on the above date, during a ceremony headed by the illustrious governor, but it was not until February 18, 1910 that the anthem was finally distributed throughout the various departments and offices of the State. With its beautiful melody, and a theme built around the ideas of freedom, peace, and hope, the anthem has remained a favorite of the people. It still speaks a revolutionary language - highly critical of dictatorship - and continues to communicate the State’s age-old abhorrence of centralist powers.

Lyrics in Spanish
Chorus Sobre palmas y lauros de oro yergue el Zulia su limpio blasón; y flamea en su plaustro sonoros del progreso el radiante pendón.

I La luz con el relámpago tenaz del Catatumbo, del nauta fija el rumbo, cual límpido farol; el alba de los trópicos, la hoguera que deslumbra cuando al zénit se encumbra la cuadriga del sol no emulan de tus glorias el fúlgido arrebol

II En la defensa olímpica de los nativos fueros tus hijos, sus aceros llevaron al confín; ciñendo lauros múltiples los viste, con arrobo, del Lago a Carabobo, del Ávila a Junín; y en Tarqui y Ayacucho vibraron su clarín.

III Erguido como Júpiter, la diestra en alto armada, fulgurante la mirada de rabia y de rencor; las veces que los sátrapas quisieron tu mancilla: mirarte de rodilla sin prez y sin honor cayó sobre sus frentes tu rayo vengador.

IV Y luego que la cólera de tu justicia calmas, va en pos de nuevas palmas tu espíritu vivaz; en aulas de areópagos, cabildos y liceos; te brindan sus trofeos el numen de la paz; y vese en blanca aureola resplandecer tu faz.

V En tu carroza alígera que tiran diez corceles, de cantos y laureles guirnaldas mil se ven. Allí del arte el símbolo del sabio la corona, de Temis y Pomona la espada y el lairén. La enseña del trabajo y el lábaro del bien.

VI Jamás, jamás, los déspotas o la invasión taimada, la oliva por la espada te obliguen a trocar; y sigas a la cúspide; triunfante como eres, rumores de talleres oyendo sin cesar en vez de los clarines y el parche militar.

Schur's inequality

In mathematics, Schur's inequality, named after Issai Schur, establishes that for all non-negative real numbers x, y, z, and t>0,

 * $$x^t (x-y)(x-z) + y^t (y-z)(y-x) + z^t (z-x)(z-y) \ge 0$$

with equality if and only if x = y = z or two of them are equal and the other is zero. When t is an even positive integer, the inequality holds for all real numbers x, y and z.

When $$t=1$$, the following well-known special case can be derived:
 * $$x^3 + y^3 + z^3 + 3xyz \geq xy(x+y) + xz(x+z) + yz(y+z)$$

Proof
Since the inequality is symmetric in $$x,y,z$$ we may assume without loss of generality that $$ x \geq y \geq z$$. Then the inequality

 * $$(x-y)[x^t(x-z)-y^t(y-z)]+z^t(x-z)(y-z) \geq 0$$

clearly holds, since every term on the left-hand side of the inequality is non-negative. This rearranges to Schur's inequality.

Extensions
A generalization of Schur's inequality is the following: Suppose a,b,c are positive real numbers. If the triples (a,b,c) and (x,y,z) are similarly sorted, then the following inequality holds:

 * $$a (x-y)(x-z) + b (y-z)(y-x) + c (z-x)(z-y) \ge 0.$$

In 2007, Romanian mathematician Valentin Vornicu showed that a yet further generalized form of Schur's inequality holds:

Consider $$a,b,c,x,y,z \in \mathbb{R}$$, where $$a \geq b \geq c$$, and either $$x \geq y \geq z$$ or $$z \geq y \geq x$$. Let $$k \in \mathbb{Z}^{+}$$, and let $$f:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{0}^{+}$$ be either convex or monotonic. Then,
 * $${f(x)(a-b)^k(a-c)^k+f(y)(b-a)^k(b-c)^k+f(z)(c-a)^k(c-b)^k \geq 0}.$$

The standard form of Schur's is the case of this inequality where x = a, y = b, z = c, k = 1, ƒ(m) = mr.

Another possible extension states that if the non-negative real numbers $$ x \geq y \geq z \geq v $$ with and the positive real number t are such that x + v ≥ y + z then

 * $$x^t (x-y)(x-z)(x-v) + y^t (y-x)(y-z)(y-v) + z^t (z-x)(z-y)(z-v) + v^t (v-x)(v-y)(v-z) \ge 0. $$

Frank Gannett

Frank Ernest Gannett (September 15, 1876 – December 3, 1957) was an American publisher who founded the media corporation Gannett Company. He began his career in 1906 as half owner of the Elmira Gazette. He soon added newspapers in Ithaca, Rochester, Utica, and other cities in Upstate New York. At the time of his death, the chain included twenty-two daily newspapers, four radio stations, and three television stations, largely based in the state of New York.

Gannett was known for granting editorial autonomy to the different media, while consolidating and standardizing business procedures and purchases. Gannett disliked sensationalism, so his media played down crime and scandal, and rejected advertising for liquor.

A conservative Republican, he was active in state and national politics. He was the unsuccessful Republican candidate for governor of New York in 1936, and in 1942 was assistant chairman of the Republican National Committee. In 1935, he established the Gannett Foundation to own the business, and provide philanthropy.

Early life and education
Gannett was born in Bristol, New York, on September 15, 1876, to Charles and Maria Gannett. Gannett was one of four children and was raised in South Bristol, New York, by parents struggling to make ends meet first as farmers and later as hotel owners. Gannett's interest in the newspaper business began as a child, when he was a newspaper delivery boy for the Democrat and Chronicle. This job provided Gannett with money to buy his own clothes as well as some pocket money.

After graduating from Bolivar High School in 1893, Gannett took a year off from schooling to raise enough money to further his education. During his break, Gannett also took a competitive exam for a scholarship. Gannett was awarded the scholarship and began his college career at Cornell University. He was closely associated with Rochester's Unitarian Church.

Frank entered Cornell as part of the class of 1898 with $80 to his name. At Cornell, Gannett held five jobs and studied a variety of subjects. Since schools of journalism did not exist at the time, Gannett took courses in literature, history, civil and criminal law, government, Greek, and Latin. At the end of his freshman year, Gannett was elected as his class' correspondent for the school's newspaper, The Cornell Daily Sun. Gannett held this post for one year until he acquired a paying job as a campus reporter for The Ithaca Journal. Soon after, he began selling reports to other newspapers as well. A quickly increasing demand led to Gannett hiring a group of students to help. Throughout his college career, Gannett worked for various magazines and newspapers. Gannett's time at Cornell was a successful one, leaving school with a B.A. degree and $1,000 as well.

Career
In the summer of 1898, Gannett joined the Syracuse Herald news staff, and quickly decided to forgo this job in favor of returning to Cornell University for his master's degree. Upon his return, Gannett was bombarded with requests for his news about Cornell from the newspapers clients he had served as an undergraduate. Gannett became so busy meeting these demands that he never found time to register for graduate classes that fall. He returned to Cornell University the following year determined to complete his graduate degree, but did not stay long. In the early weeks of 1899, Gannett was offered the secretarial position for William McKinley's Commission to visit the Philippines, and by March he arrived in Manila. Gannett stayed in the Philippines for a year, learning of foreign politics and culture. Upon his return, he accepted a job as city editor for the Ithaca News. He also became editor of the Pittsburg Index in 1905.

In 1906, Gannett became half owner of the daily newspaper the Elmira Gazette. Within the year, Gannett merged the Elmira Gazette and Elmira Star forming the Elmira Star-Gazette, which is still in circulation. Throughout his career, Gannett was known as "The Great Hyphenator". The media magnate was known to buy and merge money-losing dailies to create profit. Six years later, in 1912 the partners also purchased the Ithaca Journal. Gannett left Elmira in 1918, when he and his partner, Erwin Davenport turned their sights to Rochester, New York where a "politico-journalistic dog fight" between three evening newspapers caught their eye. Gannett and his partner sought to buy The Union and Advertiser and the Times, but they required $250,000 in cash. The two partners raised the money through friends and bank loans. Once purchased, the newspapers were merged into the Rochester Times-Union.

Gannett moved his headquarters to Rochester, New York, to supervise the news end of his newly acquired newspaper. The company's headquarters remained in Rochester until 1986, when it was relocated to Arlington County, Virginia. Gannett and Davenport lived in a hotel walking distance from their offices. Gannett spent his time tracking down news while Davenport searched for advertisers. While in Rochester, Gannett met his wife, Caroline Werner; they married in March 1920. By 1922, Gannett and Davenport were seeing signs of success. The Times-Union had downed its competition, the Post-Express, and was beginning to turn a profit. This success, though, did not anticipate the arrival of fellow newspaper businessman William Randolph Hearst.

William Randolph Hearst rivalry
William Randolph Hearst, another media magnate of the time, is often portrayed as Gannett's rival. The pair's rivalry came to head particularly in the 1920s. Up until that point, Rochester had been monopolized by the Gannett Corporation while the Albany newspapers were mostly under the control of Hearst. This changed in 1922, when William Randolph Hearst attempted to break into the Rochester newspaper business. This proved to be highly unsuccessful, as it was reported that Hearst began losing $100,000 a year. To combat Hearst's entrance to the Rochester newspaper business, Gannett brought the Knickerbocker Press and Albany Evening News in 1928. The Knickerbocker Press was circulated in the morning while the Albany Evening News was circulated in the evening and was a direct competitor of Albany Times Union, Hearst's newspaper. By 1937, Gannett monopolized not only the Rochester newspaper business but the Albany one as well. It was at this time that Hearst and Gannett struck a deal. William Randolph Hearst pulled out of Rochester, where at one point he was bribing citizens with new cars in order to attract new customers. In exchange Gannett consolidated the Knickerbocker Press and Albany Evening News into a single evening newspaper called the Knickerbocker Press. Hearst then transferred the Times Union to the morning field unopposed. The deal left Hearst disappointed yet feeling wiser and sounder. Hearst felt "sounder because he was putting his financial house in order all along the line and had just concluded a constructive deal in Rochester and Albany, N. Y."

Ever the businessman, Hearst continuously offered to buy the Times-Union from Gannett, Davenport, and their friend Woodard J. Copeland. By 1923, this seemed to be an appealing deal to Davenport and Copeland, as both were in poor health. If the two went through with the deal, it would ultimately leave Gannett out in the cold. So he decided to make his friends an offer they could not refuse. If given enough time to raise $250,000, Gannett would buy both of their stakes in the Times-Union, making him the sole owner. In order to obtain these funds, Gannett formed a new corporation, Gannett Co., Inc. So, at age 48, Frank Gannett became the owner of six newspapers in five upstate New York cities. In 1928, Gannett purchased the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, the paper for which he first worked as a paperboy.

Political involvement
Throughout his life, Gannett was active in politics. A majority of Gannett's newspapers were in solid Republican territory. Gannett always sent his pronouncements to his editors with a note, "For your information and use, if desired", and editors were free to ignore them. Gannett backed Franklin D. Roosevelt during his early years of his presidency but by the late 1930s withdrew his support. Gannett, amongst others, took a publicly neutral stand to the New Deal in 1936, though he privately disapproved of it, and actively campaigned against it later in the decade. He was a founding member of the National Committee to Uphold Constitutional Government and organized opposition to President Roosevelt's court-packing scheme of 1937, as well as the bulk of Roosevelt's proposed responses to the 1937 recession. Frank Gannett briefly ran for the 1940 Republican presidential nomination, but lost to Wendell Willkie.

Gannett growth
Gannett spent the rest of his life tirelessly working to build his corporation. He expanded his company to include both TV and radio stations. Though he never founded a paper, he "bought with an auditor's sure eye; in all, Publisher Gannett acquired 30 papers (plus a string of TV and radio stations) in 51 years, merged ten, and unloaded only three." Gannett was able to acquire more papers than any other American publisher has without the help of an inheritance. Though he suffered from diabetes, the publisher refused to slow down.

In 1948, when Gannett suffered from a stroke, he slowed down. Due to a spinal fracture in 1955, Gannett transferred management duties and the presidency of Gannett Co. to Paul Miller.

Death
Gannett died on December 3, 1957, of complications suffered from a fall the previous April.

Legacy
Gannett, who started off with virtually nothing, built an empire that continues on to this day. His obituary in Time magazine read that "Gannett, 81, [was a] publisher-founder of an empire that includes 22 newspapers, four radio and three TV stations." Gannett is buried in historic Mt. Hope Cemetery in Rochester, New York.

The Gannett Corporation remains a major media empire and holding company to this day. The company has 92 daily newspapers in circulation today in the United States, including USA Today, the nation's No. 1 newspaper. Gannett Corporation newspapers reach 11.6 million readers every weekday and 12 million every Sunday. By 2012, the company also owned 23 TV stations that reached 21 million households, roughly 18 percent of the United States population. On June 29, 2015, Gannett changed its name to Tegna after spinning off its publishing business into a new company called Gannett.

The libraries at Elmira College, Utica University, and Ithaca College are named for him, in addition to the student health center at Cornell University (Gannett Health Services) and the building that houses the printing and photography programs at Rochester Institute of Technology. The Frank E. Gannett Field House at Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania is named after him.

Awards
In 1939, he received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Oglethorpe University and an honor Doctor of Letters degree from Keuka College.

Liuvigild

Liuvigild, Leuvigild, Leovigild, or Leovigildo (Spanish and Portuguese), (c. 519 – 586) was a Visigothic King of Hispania and Septimania from 568 to 586. Known for his Codex Revisus or Code of Leovigild, a law allowing equal rights between the Visigothic and Hispano-Roman population, his kingdom covered modern Portugal and most of modern Spain down to Toledo. Liuvigild ranks among the greatest Visigothic kings of the Arian period.

Life, campaigns and reign
When the Visigothic king Athanagild died in 567, Liuva I was elevated to the kingship at a ceremony held in Narbonne, the last bastion of Visigothic rule. Recognizing the leadership qualities of his younger sibling, in the second year of his reign, King Liuva I declared his brother Liuvigild co-king and heir, assigning him Hispania Citerior, or the eastern part of Hispania (Spain), to directly rule over. Both co-regents were Arian Christians, which was the dominant religious faith of the Visigothic rulers until 587.

Liuvigild was married twice: first to Theodosia, who gave birth to two sons, Hermenegild and Reccared I, and after her death, to Athanagild's widow Goiswintha.

Almost every single year of his kingship, Liuvigild marched against the Byzantines, the Suebi, the Basques, or domestic competitors. According to the chronicle of John of Biclaro, as co-king Liuvigild initiated the first of several campaigns to expand the territory of the kingdom of the Visigoths, which Peter Heather describes as a "list of striking successes". Liuvigild's first campaign began against the Suebi in 569, during which he very quickly subdued Zamora, Palencia, and Leon. Then in 570 he attacked the district of Bastania Malagnefla (the ancient Bastetania), where he defeated imperial forces. In 570, Liuvigild "laid waste the region of Bastetania and the city of Málaga, defeating their soldiers". The following year he captured Medina Sidonia, assisted "through the treachery of a certain Framidaneus". Then, around the time he became sole ruler with the death of his brother Liuva (which occurred in either 571 or 572), seized Córdoba from the Byzantine Empire. Though constantly at war with the Byzantines in southern Hispania, Liuvigild accepted the administration of the Byzantine Empire, adopted its pomp and ceremony, the title Flavius, the throne, crown, scepter, and purple mantle, and subsequently struck gold coins in his own name to commemorate the event.

Determined to exact revenge upon Liuvigild and reclaim their territories, the Suebi invaded the regions of Plasencia and Coria, Las Hurdes, Batuecas, and the territory of the Riccones. Whilst preparing to check the imminent advance of the Suebi in 573, Liuvigild received news that his brother Liuva had died, which left him ruler over the entirety of the Visigothic dominions. Liuvigild made efforts to secure a peaceful succession, a perennial Visigothic issue, by associating his two sons, Hermenegild and Reccared, with himself in the kingly office and placing certain regions under their regencies; namely, making them dukes over Toledo and Narbonne.

The Visigoths were still a military aristocracy and kings had to be formally ratified by the nobility. Visigoths and their Ibero-Roman subjects were still separated by religion and by distinct law codes. Liuvigild modified the old Code of Euric which governed the Goths and created his own Codex Revisus. He also repealed old Roman laws dating back to the late 4th century forbidding intermarriage between Visigoths and Ibero-Romans. Such marriages had once been considered a crime punishable by death. Through this action and others administrative moves, Liuvigild reassured his rule and when he had secured the capital, began a new campaign, during which he conquered the district of Sabaria, the province of Braganza, and Torre de Moncorvo along the Suebian frontier.

Gregory of Tours contended that Liuvigild exceeded his power when he divided the kingdom between his two sons, but it is feasible that he took this action to weaken the authority of the nobles from amid both the Visigoths and the Spanish-Romans. Whatever Liuvigild's original motivation was or whether this move to empower his children can be viewed as beyond his authority, the act stirred several insurrections— first among the Cantabri, then amid the people of Cordova and Asturia, and lastly in Toledo and Evora—at a time when the Suebi and Byzantines were planning attacks against Liuvigild. Undeterred by these manifold threats, he attended to the concerns within his empire and with his son Reccared's assistance, he succeeded in subduing the rebels who rose to oppose him. In doing so, he seized Ammaia, the capital of the Cantabri; he took the Asturian stronghold, Saldania (Saldana); he also successfully quelled insurgent activities in Toledo and Evora (Aebura Carpetana). Not given to mercy—in every rebellious region—he sealed his victories by exacting terrible punishments upon his erstwhile enemies. Sometime during this campaign in 576, Liuvigild's predominance led to the Suebian king Miro rapidly agreeing to a treaty which included paying tribute, if but for a short period.

In 577 Liuvigild marched into Orespeda, a region in southeastern Spain, and after suppressing an immediate revolt "of the common people" added this province to his kingdom. Upon the conclusion of these campaigns, Liuvigild celebrated his victories by founding a city in Celtiberia, which he named Recopolis for his son Reccared. In 582 Liuvigild then went on to capture Mérida, which had been under the political control of its popular bishop Masona since the early 570s. Over the course of his reign, Liuvigild had conquered most of the peninsula.

Hermenegild's Revolt
In 579, Hermenegild had converted to orthodox Christianity, persuaded by his Frankish wife Ingunthis and Leander, bishop of Seville. After his father, who considered this conversion treason, insisted on appointing Arians as bishops, Baetica revolted under the leadership of Hermenegild, who was supported by the orthodox bishops. Throughout the period of Hermenegild's religiously motivated sedition, Liuvigild sought various forms of theological reconciliation, including the acknowledgement of Catholic baptism (not forcing Arians to undergo a cleansing re-baptism upon conversion), tolerating the Catholic veneration of relics and saints, and softening the distinction between Christ and the Father by declaring them equals as opposed to the traditional Arian position, which held Christ as subordinate within the tripartite relationship. These unifying religious efforts came to naught since Arianism was losing its intellectual appeal.

Hermenegild's revolt worried Liuvigild, as it raised concerns about his relations with the Merovingians; namely, since Ingund's brother, Childebert II—who had gained power following the death of his Merovingian father, Sigibert I—began taking an interest in the developments of his sister's realm. Attempting to counteract any possible Frankish support for the Hermengild's rebellion, Liuvigild pressed for a marriage between Reccared and Chilperic's daughter, Rigunth, which unfortunately proved diplomatically useless upon Chilperic's death. During this father-son feud, Hermengild presented himself as a victim as he tried to forge alliances in the name of Catholicism. Despite having Pope Gregory's tacit support, contemporary Catholic writers—including Isidore of Seville and Gregory of Tours—expressed little to no sympathy for Hermenegild's revolt against his father. When the Byzantines failed to send aid for the revolt, Liuvigild besieged and took Seville and in 584, banished his son to Valencia, where in 585, he was later murdered. Leander of Seville was also banished and later canonized as a saint. Hermenegild's wife Ingunthis was delivered to the Eastern Emperor Tiberius II Constantine and was last heard of in Africa. Pope Gregory held Liuvigild responsible for Hermengild's death and asserted that the latter died for his Catholic faith.

Later years
In 585, Liuvigild conquered the Suebi peoples, bringing an end to some forty-years of their independence in Spain. Despite several failed attempts by the Suebi to rebel against the Visigoths, Liuvigild eventually forced them to swear their fidelity. By the end of his reign, only the Basque lands and two small southern territories of the Byzantine Empire made up the non-Visigothic parts of Hispania. However, despite his best efforts, Liuvigild was unable to establish common religious ground between Arian Christians and those of the Catholic majority. Liuvigild's last year was troubled by open war with the Franks along his northernmost borders. But overall, Liuvigild was one of the more effective Visigothic kings of Hispania, the restorer of Visigothic unity, ruling from his capital newly established at Toledo, where he settled toward the end of his reign. (From this, the Hispanic Visigothic monarchy is sometimes called the "Kingdom of Toledo"). While successful, Liuvigild attained unity and royal authority only through conquest.

According to Gregory of Tours, Liuvigild fell ill in 586 and on his deathbed repented, wept for seven days and "embraced the Catholic faith" before he "gave up the ghost." He was succeeded by his second son Reccared, who converted to Catholic Christianity in 589 and brought religious and political unity between the Visigoths and their subjects.

Visigothic legacy
The Visigoths in Hispania considered themselves the heirs of western Roman imperial power, not its enemies. Signs of this can be seen in their mimicry of Roman bureaucratic and administrative norms, such as tax collection and the institution of Roman-based laws. Further evidence of Visigothic affinity for all things Roman included the reestablishment of imperial style by Liuvigild, who recreated the royal regalia. Under Liuvigild, Spain was essentially unified and according to historian Chris Wickham, the "most Roman-influenced legislation of any of the barbarian kingdoms" was enacted. Throughout his reign, Liuvigild tried to find a compromise solution between Arian Christianity and Catholicism to no avail. However, important if not permanent changes in the Spanish realm came when Liuvigild's son Reccared aggressively promoted the Catholic faith at the expense of Arian Christianity, whereby he made Catholicism the official religion of the entire kingdom in 589.

Later successors to Liuvigild included the likes of King Chindasuinth (642–653) and his son Recceswinth (653–672), both of whom reformed Visigothic laws and legal codes that essentially eliminated the distinction between Romans and Goths and which permitted intermarriage between the two peoples. Challenge to Visigothic rule came abruptly in the form of Muslim Berbers led by Umayyad commander Tariq, whose forces defeated the Visigothic King Roderic in 711 and by 725, the Visigothic kingdom in Hispania was fully overwhelmed by Muslim invaders.

Bowen's Kale

Bowen's Kale was a reference material produced by British chemist Humphry Bowen and used for the calibration of early scientific instruments intended to measure trace elements during the 1960s.

With Peter Cawse, Bowen grew, dried, and crushed a large amount of marrow-stem kale (Brassica oleracea var. medullosa) into 100 kg of a homogeneous and stable powder in 1960 that was subsequently freely distributed to researchers around the world for over two decades. This was probably the first successful example of such a de facto standard. Bowen's Kale stimulated preparation of further materials by other organizations for similar use.

Anthony Saidy

Anthony Saidy (born May 16, 1937) is an International Master of chess, a retired physician and author. He competed eight times in the U.S. Chess Championship, with his highest placement being 4th. He won the 1960 Canadian Open Chess Championship. The same year, he played on the U.S. Team in the World Student Team Championship in Leningrad, USSR. The U.S. team won the World Championship, the only time the U.S. has ever won that event.

Saidy is the author of several chess books, including The Battle of Chess Ideas, and The World of Chess (with Norman Lessing). His most recent book, 1983, a Dialectical Novel, is a work of "what if" political fiction inspired by Saidy's four sojourns in the USSR, during which he was able to get to know Russians from all walks of life in both public and intimate settings. Harrison Salisbury, Pulitzer Prize-winning Moscow correspondent of the New York Times, said that it had the "ring of truth."

As an older mentor he befriended Robert James Fischer (Bobby Fischer). It was in Saidy's family home in Douglaston, Long Island that Fischer secluded himself prior to the World Chess Championship 1972. Saidy and others successfully encouraged the apparently reluctant Fischer to go to Iceland, where he won the world crown in a match against holder Boris Spassky.

Saidy is the son of playwright Fred Saidy.

WBBH-TV

WBBH-TV (channel 20) is a television station licensed to Fort Myers, Florida, United States, serving as the NBC affiliate for Southwest Florida. It is owned by Hearst Television, which provides certain services to Naples-licensed ABC affiliate WZVN-TV (channel 26) under a local marketing agreement (LMA) with Montclair Communications. The two stations share studios on Central Avenue in Fort Myers; WBBH-TV's transmitter is located along SR 31 in unincorporated southeastern Charlotte County. The station is known as "NBC 2", reflecting its primary channel number on local cable television systems.

WBBH-TV went on the air in December 1968 as the second station in Fort Myers; it has been an NBC affiliate since its first day on air. Waterman Broadcasting owned WBBH from 1979 to 2023; WBBH took over most of the operations of what is now WZVN-TV in 1994. It has generally fought CBS affiliate WINK-TV for first place in local news ratings.

Buerry, Burgess, and Hoffman: Early years
In 1967, two companies petitioned the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to add channels in the ultra high frequency (UHF) band to the table of usable TV channels in Fort Myers. Acting on the proposals from Kenneth Schwartz and Hubbard Broadcasting, the FCC allotted channel 20 in January 1968. That May, Broadcasting-Telecasting Services, Inc., headed by former WMYR sales director and announcer Joseph Buerry Jr., applied for channel 20, proposing a station with an intensive focus on local programming, and an emphasis on local news. No other group applied, and Broadcasting-Telecasting Services received a construction permit in July. It announced its intention to be a primary NBC affiliate with a secondary ABC affiliation. Buerry, along with investors Jackson Burgess and Howard Hoffman (also formerly of WMYR), gave the station its call letters—WBBH-TV.

The studios were finished by the start of December, with erection of the station's transmitting tower in Lehigh Acres still ongoing. The station began broadcasting on December 18, 1968. Previously, Miami's WCKT had imported NBC programming into Fort Myers by way of a translator on channel 70; Tampa's WFLA-TV had been carried alongside WCKT on most area cable systems.

After nearly six years, Buerry resigned as president in August 1974; he had been visible on air presenting station editorials. Hoffman became the general manager at a time when the station was suffering financially, though it had begun to turn a profit in 1972. The station lost ABC programs to a new station in Naples, WEVU (channel 26), at this time as well.

Waterman ownership
In 1978, Waterman Broadcasting Corporation, which at the time only owned two radio stations in San Antonio, Texas, began negotiating to buy WBBH-TV after the stockholders of Broadcasting-Telecasting Services opted to put the station on the market. A sale agreement was reached in April 1979. Waterman activated a new tower in 1983; the station began broadcasting at the UHF maximum effective radiated power of five million watts and improved its signal in the northern part of its coverage area. In 1987, an expansion was completed to the Central Avenue studio; the original, 7000 ft2 building was wrapped around a two-story building with an internal atrium.

Waterman Broadcasting attempted to expand the station's presence in the early 1990s. It first thought it had an agreement with WNPL-TV (channel 46) to program the second station under a time brokerage agreement. However, WNPL was in turmoil at the time. The agreement was reached during a period in which the station manager left; he then came back and ignored the agreement, with station officials calling the issue a misunderstanding. Waterman then sued WNPL, which in turn filed for bankruptcy protection.

On June 1, 1994, Ellis Communications, the owner of WEVU, entered into a local marketing agreement with WBBH-TV, which began providing the station's news programming. Some WEVU staffers were not retained by WBBH; in all, there were 20 staff firings, including WEVU's main news, weather and sports anchors. That September, WBBH began branding as channel 2 after its position on local cable systems; WEVU did likewise with channel 7 and changed its call sign to WZVN-TV the next year.

Ellis Communications merged with Raycom Media in 1996; under a deal previously made by Ellis, WZVN-TV's license was sold to Montclair Communications, which continued the LMA with WBBH. Montclair was founded by Lara Kunkler, station manager for WBBH and WZVN and the goddaughter of Bernie Waterman, owner of Waterman Broadcasting. The deal allowed a once-unprofitable station to become profitable. In 2001, Waterman attempted to merge with Montclair by way of a stock swap. However, instead of allowing the deal, the FCC let the application languish; at one point, it ordered it unwound by 2004.

Sale to Hearst
Waterman Broadcasting announced on April 5, 2023, that it would sell WBBH-TV to Hearst Television, the first sale of the station in 44 years. The $220 million deal marked the sale of the company's last media property after having been founded in 1956. Company executives cited Edith Waterman's desire to sell the station before her 100th birthday. The sale was completed on June 30; Hearst would also continue programming WZVN-TV on Montclair's behalf.

News operation
WINK-TV (channel 11), which had been the only local station prior to channel 20 signing on the air, remained the news leader in the market until 1974, when WBBH rose to the top and provided serious competition for WINK. However, by the early 1980s, it had slipped behind WINK, though it was well ahead of WEVU, whose news ratings were typically anemic. Beginning in January 1994, WBBH experimented with producing newscasts for air on local cable systems' local origination channels: these included 7 p.m., 10 p.m., and midnight broadcasts branded as the Eyewitness News Network.

In the wake of the WEVU LMA in 1994, equipment investments were made for the joint operation. WBBH–WZVN had the market's first Doppler weather radar installed in the mid-1990s, and in 1997, a studio expansion was completed allowing both stations to present simultaneous 11 p.m. newscasts. The stations have dedicated anchors but share reporters; during major hurricane coverage, the stations have often aired a single telecast using their combined news and weather resources. Despite the shared resources, news viewership has tilted strongly toward WBBH—which continues to compete with WINK for first—over WZVN.

In 2018, the Waterman stations cut back their sports department; weeknight sportscasts were eliminated, along with the position of sports director for WBBH-TV. That same year, WBBH added a 3 p.m. newscast, giving it three and a half straight hours of local news leading into the NBC Nightly News.

Notable former on-air staff

 * Gene Lavanchy — sports anchor, 1986–1988
 * John Muller – reporter
 * Susan Rook — reporter, early 1980s
 * Shepard Smith – reporter, late 1980s–1992
 * Ukee Washington — sports anchor, 1981—1987

Subchannels

Analog-to-digital conversion
On October 31, 2002, WZVN-TV and WBBH-TV began broadcasting high-definition television, the first stations in the market to do so. The conversion to digital required the construction of a new tower, as the 1983-built mast did not meet more stringent wind loading requirements.

WBBH-TV discontinued regular programming on its analog signal, over UHF channel 20, on February 17, 2009, the original date on which full-power television stations in the United States were to transition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (which was later pushed back to June 12, 2009). As part of the SAFER Act, WBBH-TV kept its analog signal on the air until February 21 to inform viewers of the digital television transition through a loop of public service announcements from the National Association of Broadcasters. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 15, using virtual channel 20.

WBBH-TV broadcast WZVN-TV from its transmitter between October 2019 and March 2020 while repack work was conducted on that station's own transmitter equipment.

Sisebut

Sisebut (Sisebutus; Sisebuto; also Sisebuth, Sisebur, Sisebod or Sigebut; c. 565 – February 621) was King of the Visigoths and ruler of Hispania and Septimania from 612 until his death in 621. His rule was marked by forced Christian conversion, anti-Judaic measures, Roman-like administration, and intellectual cosmopolitanism.

Biography
According to a passage in the Chronicle of Fredegar, prior to being named king of the Visigoths, Sisebut reportedly captured Cantabria from the Franks; which is a puzzling entry, since this region was already part of the Visigothic kingdom under Leovigild. Nonetheless, it can be said that, during his reign, Sisebut campaigned successfully against the remnants of Byzantine power in Spania, strengthened Visigothic control over the Basques and Cantabrians, developed friendly relations with the Lombards of Italy, and reinforced the fleet that had been established by his predecessor, Leovigild. Most all of the territories in the Iberian Peninsula originally seized by the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian during his campaigns into the former Western Roman Empire were taken back by Sisebut, with the exception of the Algarve.

Sisebut was known for his devout adherence to Chalcedonian Christianity. In 612, upon his accession to the throne, he forced his Jewish subjects to convert to Christianity. In 616, he ordered that those Jews who refused to convert to Christianity be punished with the lash. Actions taken against Jews were part of a broader "legal tradition of imperial legislation" that even had the "approval of the Church Fathers," according to historian Herwig Wolfram. Aside from oppressing religious groups, Sisebut demonstrated his adherence to his Christian faith by officially consecrating churches, such as the martyrial basilica St. Leocadia in 618 at Toledo.

From what is known, Sisebut was closely associated with the bishop, scholar, and encyclopaedist Isidore of Seville, and is even—regal trappings included—depicted as the author of a Latin poem on astronomy, Carmen de Luna or Praefatio de Libro Rotarum, dedicated to a friend, who is identified with Isidore. To this end, Sisebut was known to have been "an active supporter of intellectual and cultural life in Spain." Historian Chris Wickham mentions the letters and poetry of Sisebut, comparing him with Alfred the Great for having a reputation as a writer, but adds that aside from this and his persecution of "the Jewish population in Spain", he was "otherwise undistinguished." Despite this seeming lack of notoriety, Wickham claims that Sisebut's writing contains Roman cultural style and his political practices were reminiscent of late Roman traditions that were expressed by his successors as late as 700. One of those Roman practices was the minting of coins, which Sisebut, along with other Visigothic kings before and after him, struck at Recopolis.

Sisebut had a son, who succeeded him as Reccared II on his death.

User:Coup de Grace

The Amazing "Coup de Grace"
Coup de Grace' ( the user ) is a frequenter of wikipedia. He was actively involved in the project "Nupedia", which was much the same as our friend Wiki. Though after Coup ws kicked off of Nupedia ( a shadowy part of his life ) he thought that he could do better. He invented Wikipedia. Wikipedia was formally launched on 15 January 2001, as a single English-language edition at wikipedia.com. It had been, from 10 January, a feature of Nupedia.com in which the public could write articles which could be incorporated into Nupedia after review. It was relaunched off-site after Nupedia's Advisory Board of subject experts disapproved of its production model.[47] Wikipedia thereafter operated as a standalone project without control from Nupedia. Its policy of "neutral point-of-view" was codified in its initial months, though is similar to Nupedia's earlier "nonbias" policy. There were otherwise few rules initially. Wikipedia gained early contributors from Nupedia, Slashdot postings, and search engine indexing. Coup de Grace is currently in hiding. He also invented the internet, and paperclips.
