Clement Meadmore

Clement Meadmore (9 February 1929 – 19 April 2005) was an Australian-American furniture designer and sculptor known for massive outdoor steel sculptures.

Biography
Born Clement Lyon Meadmore in Melbourne, Australia in 1929, Clement Meadmore studied aeronautical engineering and then industrial design at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. After graduating in 1949, Meadmore designed furniture for several years and, in the 1950s, created his first welded sculptures. He had several one-man exhibits of his sculptures in Melbourne and Sydney between 1954 and 1962. In 1963, Meadmore moved to New York City. Later, he became an American citizen.

Meadmore used COR-TEN steel, aluminium, and occasionally bronze to create colossal outdoor sculptures which combine the elements of abstract expressionism and minimalism.

Earlier in his career he worked as a furniture designer, of which his DC601A chair is a well known example.

He was an avid amateur drummer and jazz lover who held jam sessions in his home. His fondness for jazz is reflected in the names of several of his works, including "Riff" (1996), "Round Midnight" (1996), "Stormy Weather" (1997), "Night and Day" (1979) and "Perdido" (1978).

Meadmore's sculptures are held by museums, corporate headquarters, and schools internationally. His work has been exhibited in a number of galleries, including the Anita Shapolsky Gallery in New York City, the Columbus Gallery of Fine Art in Ohio, and the Davenport Municipal Art Gallery in Iowa.

He authored How to Make Furniture Without Tools (1975) and The Modern Chair: Classic Designs by Thonet, Breuer, Le Corbusier, Eames and Others (1997). His work and career were catalogued in The Sculpture of Clement Meadmore (1994) by Eric Gibson.

Death
Meadmore died at age 76 in Manhattan from complications of Parkinson's disease.

Car dealership

A car dealership, or car dealer, is a business that sells new or used cars, at the retail level, based on a dealership contract with an automaker or its sales subsidiary. Car dealerships also often sell spare parts and automotive maintenance services.

In the United States, car dealerships have historically been an important source of state and local sales taxes. They have considerable political influence and have lobbied for regulations that guarantee their survival and profitability. By 2010, all US states had laws that prohibited manufacturers from side-stepping independent car dealerships and selling cars directly to consumers. By 2009, most states imposed restrictions on the creation of new dealerships to compete with incumbent dealerships.

Economists have characterized these regulations as a form of rent-seeking that extracts rents from manufacturers of cars, increases costs for consumers, and limits entry of new car dealerships while raising profits for incumbent car dealers. Research shows that as a result of these laws, retail prices for cars are higher than they otherwise would be.

Car dealerships in the United States
The early cars were sold by automakers to customers directly or through a variety of channels, including mail order, department stores, and traveling representatives. For example, Sears made its first attempt at selling a gasoline-engined chain-drive high-wheeler in 1908 through its mail-order catalog and starting in 1951 the Allstate through select its stores and the catalog.

Fred Koller opened the first dedicated car dealership in 1889. Known as the Reading Automobile Company, Koller sold cars manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio at his dealership in Reading, Pennsylvania. This is thought to be the first dealership dedicated solely to selling cars—meaning it hadn’t initially been established to sell horse-drawn carriages.

Today, direct sales by an automaker to consumers are limited by most states in the U.S. through franchise laws that require new cars to be sold only by licensed and bonded, independently owned dealerships. The first woman car dealer in the United States was Rachel "Mommy" Krouse who in 1903 opened her business, Krouse Motor Car Company, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The number of car dealerships in the US peaked in 1927 at 53,125 and steadily decreased over the next decades. By 1960, there were 33, 658 dealerships; by 1980, 23,379; and by 2001, 22,007.

Car dealerships are usually franchised to sell and service vehicles by specific companies. They are often located on properties offering enough room to have buildings housing a showroom, mechanical service, and body repair facilities, as well as to provide storage for used and new vehicles. Many dealerships are located out of town or on the edge of town centers. An example of a traditional single proprietorship car dealership was Collier Motors in North Carolina. Many modern dealerships are now part of corporate-owned chains with hundreds of locations. Dealership profits in the US mainly come from servicing, some from used cars, and little from new cars.

Most automotive manufacturers have shifted the focus of their franchised retailers to branding and technology. New or refurbished facilities are required to have a standard look for their dealerships and have product experts to liaise with customers. Audi has experimented with a hi-tech showroom that allows customers to configure and experience cars on 1:1 scale digital screens. In markets where it is permitted, Mercedes-Benz opened city centre brand stores.

Tesla Motors has rejected the dealership sales model based on the idea that dealerships do not properly explain the advantages of their cars, and they could not rely on third-party dealerships to handle their sales. However, in the United States, direct manufacturer auto sales are prohibited in almost every state by franchise laws requiring that new cars be sold only by dealers. In response, Tesla has opened city centre galleries where prospective customers can view cars that can only be ordered online. These stores were inspired by the Apple Stores. Tesla's model was the first of its kind, and has given them unique advantages as a new car company.

Economic theory
In economic theory, car dealerships can be characterized as franchisees and the automobile manufacturers as franchisors. A franchise relationship can be beneficial to both parties, as the franchisee can sell a well-made and attractive product while the franchisor can rely on the franchisee to incur downstream costs and use its local relationships to sell more products and services.

The franchisor can act opportunistically by imposing constraints and burden on the franchisee after the latter has incurred sunk costs, such as investing in physical assets and building up a reputation with customers. The franchisor could for example require that cars be sold at low prices, services be performed for little compensation. The franchisee could on the other hand act opportunistically by using its local monopoly to perform poor customer service, charge customers more and pass those unnecessarily high costs to the franchisor.

Regulations that protect car dealers
Car dealerships have lobbied for regulations that increase the survival and profitability of car dealerships:

 * By 2010, all US states had laws that prohibited manufacturers from side-stepping independent car dealers and selling cars to customers directly.
 * By 2009, most states imposed restrictions on the creation of new dealerships to compete with incumbent dealerships.
 * All states impose severe limits on the ability of a manufacturer to terminate a franchise relationship.
 * Most states prevent manufacturers from engaging in "quantity forcing" whereby manufacturers require that dealers purchase vehicles that they had not ordered.
 * Most states limit the ability of manufacturers to discriminate between car dealers (for example, by providing better terms to large car dealers with economies of scale or dealers that provide better customer service).
 * Many state laws impose upon manufacturers the precise terms under which they must compensate dealers for the costs associated with warranty repairs (these can incentivize dealers to increase the price of repairs to customers).
 * Most state laws require upon termination of a dealership that manufacturers buy back the inventory, special equipment and in some cases pay the rent of the dealer's facilities.

Economists have characterized these laws as a form of rent-seeking that extracts rents from manufacturers of cars and increases costs for consumers of cars while raising profits for car dealers. Multiple studies have shown that regulations that protect car dealerships increase car costs for consumers and limit the profitability of manufacturers.

The issuance of new dealership licenses is subject to geographical restriction; if there is already a dealership for a company in an area, no one else can open one. This has led to dealerships becoming in essence hereditary, with families running dealerships in an area since the original issuance of their license with no fear of competition or any need to prove qualification or consumer benefit (beyond proving they meet minimum legal standards), as franchises in most jurisdictions can only be withdrawn for illegal activity and no other reason.

This has led to consumer campaigns for establishment or reform, which have been met by huge lobbying efforts by franchise holders. New companies trying to enter the market, such as Tesla, have been restricted by this model and have either been forced out or been forced to work around the franchise model, facing constant legal pressure.

Electric vehicles
According to a 2023 survey by the Sierra Club, two-thirds of US car dealerships did not have electric or hybrid vehicles for sale. Reasons for this include supply chain difficulties, as well as a need for car dealers to make substantial investments in new employee training and infrastructure to be able to sell, service and maintain electric vehicles.

Car dealerships in the European Union
In the European Union, car manufacturers were permitted from 1985 to 2006 to enter into contracts with car dealerships that restricted what kinds of cars that dealers were permitted to sell. Car manufacturers were able "to impose qualitative, quantitative and geographical restrictions on supply by selling their cars only through a limited number of dealers bound by strict franchise agreements." In 2006, the European Commission determined that it was anticompetitive for car manufacturers to prohibit dealers from carrying multiple car brands.

Car manufacturers in the European Union are increasingly shifting towards selling cars directly to customers without reliance on independent dealers. Volvo has announced plans to sell all vehicles directly to customers by 2030.

Multibrand car dealers
Multibrand and multi-maker car dealers sell cars from different and independent carmakers. Some are specialized in electric vehicles.

Auto transport
Auto transport is used to move vehicles from the factory to the dealerships. This includes international and domestic shipping. It was largely a commercial activity conducted by manufacturers, dealers, and brokers. Internet use has encouraged this niche service to expand and reach the general consumer marketplace.

Car dealer lot
What is a car dealer lot ?. Can one include this information in the article (I think a showroom or a garage can be parts of the car dealer lot). --193.145.201.52 13:26, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Typically, vehicles on the "dealer's lot" represents inventory that they have purchased. This would include all the unsold inventory on the dealer's premises. Larger dealers may have additional offsite storage that would also be considered the "dealer's lot" Mstefaniak (talk) 16:53, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Education Requirements
Currently the article Automotive Dealership Institute is an orphan and i'm trying to remedy this by discussing the education requirement for auto dealerships. I have citations that i'm using from new sources and avoiding web sources. If other writers have ideas please comment. Is this the best place to talk about the education requirements for auto dealerships? Should it be in a different article? Should it have it own article separate from this?

 * Whatever you do, using this article to promote one or two minor schools is undue and inappropriate. The second source didn't even mention ADI, and was an incredibly minor puff-piece about a single dealerships training program. Grayfell (talk) 20:58, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

“History of” Section
I don’t feel that the “History of” section is cohesive at all. It starts off with a couple of sentences about the history, but then just becomes a collection of random facts about cars. Some of these facts are repeated, even.

I don’t know enough to be part of the solution, though. Jeremiah042 (talk) 02:04, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Hamilton Princess & Beach Club

The Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, A Fairmont Managed Hotel (generally known as The Princess) is one of the grandest and most famous hotels in Bermuda, located in Pembroke Parish just outside the City of Hamilton. It also happens to be the oldest hotel in the Fairmont chains. One of the largest in Bermuda, it has over 400 rooms. It is one of two Fairmont Hotels on the island, the second being the Fairmont Southampton, which was originally opened as the Southampton Princess.

History
The 'Princess Hotel' opened its doors on 1 January 1885. Since then it has had a number of operators. Although recent operators have modified the name, to the Hamilton Princess following the completion of the Southampton Princess, and current operators Fairmont Hotels and Resorts prefix the name of their own group, to most Bermudians it remains "The Princess".

Advent of Bermudian Tourism
Bermuda had gained international recognition in 1883 when Princess Louise, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria, visited for a winter retreat and called it a place of eternal spring. At the time, she lived in Canada with her husband, the Duke of Argyll, who was Governor General there. When the hotel opened it was named The Princess in honour of the royal visit two years earlier.

Princess Louise had been induced to travel from Canada for health reasons. Many other early travellers to Bermuda were wealthy businessmen and political figures, with their families, drawn partly by the colony's reputation for a healthy climate, especially during the winter months, and also by a pace of life that was a suitable tonic for the stress and hectic pressures they experienced at home. The Bermuda Government's Trade Development Board, quickly grasping the marketing advantages of this reputation, began billing Bermuda as the Isles of Serenity.

The journey to Bermuda, whether by sail or by early steamship, was arduous (Princess fixture Samuel Clemens quipped, Bermuda is Heaven, but you have to go through Hell to get there!), especially as, in the early years of the industry, visitors travelled to the island for the winter months. As Princess Louise had done, most would spend the entire winter there, the period becoming known as the Season. Summers in Bermuda, by comparison, were relatively quiet.

Bermuda as a Naval Base and Army Garrison
Bermuda's tourism had arisen without conscious planning, and the hotels previously available to the wealthy visitors who pioneered holidaying on the island were generally small and uninspiring. Bermudian business and political leaders realised that a large, first-rate hotel was required. The development of the hotel hinged on American investment, however. Foreigners were not, then, permitted to buy land or businesses in Bermuda, lest their governments use protecting those interests as a pretext for invasion.

Bermuda was, at the time, considered by the UK government more as a naval and military base than as a colony (it housed the chief Royal Navy base in the western North Atlantic, and the attendant large military garrison to guard it). The military personnel made up a quarter of the population, and defence spending, not agriculture or tourism, was the central leg of the Bermudian economy. Many wealthy American visitors actually brought their daughters to holiday on the island specifically in hopes of marrying them to young aristocratic military or naval officers (this put them in competition with local women, but the Princess sponsored dances and other social gatherings to which the officers of the garrison were invited to mingle with guests).

The UK Government had been imploring the Bermuda Government for decades to raise its own part-time military units to allow the withdrawal of some of the regular army detachments. This was due to the immense costs of the garrisons in Bermuda and elsewhere, at a time when the Army was attempting to re-organise itself to be more effective. As the Army's budget was not being increased, this could only be achieved by redisposition of existing units. The Bermudian Government had long ignored these pleas, but needed the approval of the UK Government to allow US investment in the Princess, as well as to widen the channel into St. George's (necessary to allow that port to continue to thrive in an age where ships had grown too large to safely use the existing channel, but which it was argued would make an invader's task easier). The Secretary of State for War insisted he could not approve either project while Bermuda contributed nothing to her own defence.

Ultimately, the Bermuda Government would not honour its end of the agreement until a decade after the Princess Hotel was opened. Two 1892 Acts of the Bermudian Parliament authorised the creation in 1894 and 1895 of the Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps and the Bermuda Militia Artillery.

Development and marketing of The Princess
Harley Trott, a leading businessman at the time and head of Trott & Cox, the steamship agents and purveyors of meat for the British military, was determined to build a hotel that would attract affluent Americans, who would summer in the Berkshires and winter in Bermuda.

From the moment it opened, The Princess was considered the gem of the island. With long shady verandas and a blue slate roof, the four-story building comprised 70 rooms, each equipped with gas lights, hot and cold running water and a five-inch mirror to allow guests to primp before stepping out for the night. Staff dressed in white jackets and waving pink handkerchiefs greeted luxury liners.

As word got out, celebrities started to appear. Mark Twain, a regular at the hotel, loved to smoke cigars on the veranda and wartime guest Ian Fleming is said to have used its fish tank-lined Gazebo Bar as a motif in his novel, Dr. No.

British Government use in the Second World War
In 1939, when the world went to war, The Fairmont Hamilton Princess was under British Censorship and home to Allied servicemen. The basement became an intelligence center and way station where all mail, radio and telegraphic traffic bound for Europe, the U.S. and the Far East were intercepted and analyzed by 1,200 censors, of British Imperial Censorship, part of British Security Coordination (BSC), before being routed to their destination. Rumor has it that it was nicknamed 'Bletchley-in-the-Tropics' after the English country house where the Enigma code was broken (Sir William Stephenson, the Canadian-born British spymaster who was the subject of the book and film A Man Called Intrepid resided for a time at the Princess, following the war, before buying a home on the island, and was often visited there by his former subordinate, James Bond novelist Ian Fleming).

"A thousand people worked in the basement, checking to see if letters contained messages in invisible ink or if an extra period, when magnified, might reveal a hidden message," according to former hotel manager Ian Powell. With BSC working closely with the FBI, the censors were responsible for the discovery and arrest of a number of Axis spies operating in the US, including the Joe K ring. The censor working on the Joe K correspondence was Nadya Gardner who conducted chemical tests and found secret writing in some letters, according to historian H. Montgomery Hyde.

Post-War development
The years that followed the war brought great changes to Bermuda's visitor industry, and to The Princess Hotel.

Prior to the war, visitors arrived almost exclusively by sea. Although air service to Bermuda began in 1937, two years before the declaration of war, the flying boats that operated to Darrell's Island were few, and their seats were limited. Tickets for the hours-long flights from the US were expensive, and ocean liners continued to play a major role in passenger transport to and from Bermuda. Holidaying in Bermuda (catering to which, for hoteliers, had expanded into a year-round business, no longer focused on the original Winter season) remained a prerogative of the wealthy.

The war had resulted in the development of two American airstations on Bermuda, the Naval Operating Base, serving US Navy flying boats, and the US Army's Kindley Field, as well as the establishment of a US Army garrison of artillery and infantry defences to re-inforce the British Army's Bermuda Garrison. Bermuda's use as a forming-up point for trans-Atlantic convoys meant that numerous ships carrying American soldiers to the North African and European theatres of war, as well as US Naval vessels deploying to those theatres or escorting convoys, also brought vast numbers of Americans from all levels of society to Bermuda during the war. This both exposed Bermuda to America's working and middle classes, and exposed those classes to Bermudians. Following the war, the air transport industry went through rapid development, with piston, turboprop, and then jet engined landplane airliners of increasing size and speed serving Bermuda from ever more North American cities, flying into the US Army's new airfield (flying boat air service to Darrell's Island ceased in 1948). This led to larger numbers of air arrivals, and falling ticket prices, opening Bermuda to short-term holidays by the average American family.

These new visitors were less interested in attending balls, hunting aristocratic husbands, or Bermuda's other traditional genteel and wintry leisure activities. New hotels had sprung up in Bermuda even before the war, such as the Castle Harbour Hotel and the Elbow Beach Hotel, which offered visitors direct access to the beach in more natural surroundings, and better catered to sun-seekers and hedonists. More beach resorts were built after the war, including the Carlton Beach resort, the Grotto Bay Hotel, and the Princess' own sister hotel, the Southampton Princess (currently dubbed the Fairmont Southampton), built in 1972 on a 100-acre parcel near to the most popular public beaches, with its own private beach club and golf course. Cottage colonies, such as the Cambridge Beaches, also became a popular alternative to traditional hotels, with visitors renting discrete cottages on a resort property, usually with its own private beach, and served by a common building with guest services and a restaurant or dining room.

The Princess was able to cater to a degree to these new holidaymakers with a cottage colony of its own on the headland at the Pitt's Bay side of the hotel, which had formerly been the site of the Bermuda Coal Company's wharf. The hotel was rebilled as The Princess Hotel and The Cottage Colony. Its location simply did not allow it to compete directly with the new beach resorts. Although tourism visitors have remained an important part of its clientele, with Bermuda's post-war development as a financial centre (it has long been the global centre of the Reinsurance industry, and international business, not tourism, has been its primary source of revenue for decades), the hotel has taken full advantage of its proximity to the City of Hamilton, and its modern, business-friendly features (from internet connectivity in guest rooms to facilities suitable for business conferences), to cater to the numerous business travellers who have little time for sunbathing or golf (its only competitors for this business would have been the Hamilton Hotel), which burnt down in 1955 and was replaced by the Hamilton City Hall, and the Bermudiana Hotel, which also was destroyed by fire in 1958. Although replaced by a new Bermudiana Hotel, the long decline of Bermuda's visitor industry led to its closure (it was sold in 1993 and levelled, the site being redeveloped as office space, including the ACE and XL buildings).

In 1959, American tanker billionaire Daniel K. Ludwig purchased the hotel. As part of the deal to build a new luxury hotel - The Southampton Princess - The Princess was renovated: the last parts of the original wooden structure were replaced with masonry in 1962, and the cottage colony was levelled and a new Pitt's Bay wing built and lounges added. Affluent neighbours of the hotel objected to the original plans to match the height of the existing structure, and approval was granted only for the resulting three-storey wing. Ludwig made The Princess hotel (after 1972 often referred to as the Hamilton Princess to distinguish it from the Southampton Princess) the flagship of a global chain, Princess International Hotels.

The Princess Hotels Group passed to Tiny Rowland's British conglomerate, Lonrho Plc (originally the London and Rhodesian Mining and Land Company Limited), between 1979 and 1981 for US$200 million.

Both Bermudian hotels were sold as part of a seven-property deal by the Lonrho Plc subsidiary, Lonmin plc, which transferred the Princess Hotels Group on 11 June 1998 to the Canadian Pacific Railway for a combined price of GBP 331.75 million. This was part of the final expansion of Canadian Pacific Hotels, which also included the 1999 purchase of the San Francisco-based Fairmont Hotel chain. The seven hotels of the Princess Hotels Group at first continued as a wholly owned subsidiary of CPH, but were later merged into the Fairmont Hotels and Resorts group, as Canadian Pacific Hotels and Resorts was renamed in 2001.

Recent Developments
On 11 May 2006, an agreement for the acquisition of Fairmont Hotels and Resorts by Kingdom Hotels International and Colony Capital LLC for US$4.5 billion was announced. The Fairmont Hotels and Resorts group was combined with two other subsidiaries, Raffles Hotels & Resorts and Swissôtel Hotels and Resorts, to form Fairmont Raffles Hotels International, with 120 hotels in 24 countries.

In 2007 the Princess Hotel was sold to Global Hospitality Investments (GHI), and then in 2012 sold to local company BERCO owned by the Bermudian Green family, which continues to operate the hotel as part of the Fairmont chain. The Princess is the oldest hotel in the chain.

The Greens as the new owners are now embarking on a multimillion-dollar refurbishment of the property including the construction of a new marina facility.

Brentsville District High School

Brentsville District High School, commonly known as Brentsville, is a public high school in Nokesville in unincorporated Prince William County, Virginia, United States, and part of Prince William County Public Schools. It is the only high school in Prince William County considered to be in a developing rural community.

History
Brentsville District High officially opened on September 5, 1929, and hosted grades one through eleven. From 1929 to 1964, Brentsville existed in the building that currently exists as Nokesville Elementary School. In 1965, the school moved to its new building located on Aden road, and over the years additions were made to the building's structure, with the most recent being a new gymnasium building, with the old space becoming the school's current library.

In 2002, the campus ceased to function in its tandem role as middle and high school, instead becoming exclusively a high school facility. Before this point, the school was district more for students living in the Nokesville, Virginia area. Now the school is district for the Nokesville and Bristow, Virginia areas. Despite this growth, Brentsville is the smallest high school in Prince William County. Remodeling plans for 2006 included the refitting of the auditorium, adding more comfortable seats, bowing the stage, and replacing a sound panel wall.

Demographics
In the 2020–2021 school year, Brentsville's student body was:
 * 14.7% Hispanic
 * 70.3% White
 * 5.8% Black/African American
 * 5.4% two or more races
 * 3.4% Asian
 * 0.4% American Indian/Alaskan

Academics and programs
Brenstville District High School offers its students the opportunity to enroll in The Cambridge Programme and to take Cambridge University's international examinations both toward individual subject certificates as well as work towards and AICE certificate.

The school was a 2004 recipient of the Blue Ribbon Academic School award. Brentsville District High School remains the only Virginia high school to ever achieve this status. As of the 2011-2012 school year, 86% of the students continue onto high education.

The school grades its students using the Prince William County grading system and grades using academic quarters.

Extracurricular programs
As of 2014, there are 33 student groups considered official extracurricular programs at Brentsville District High School. These include academic, language, and religious groups. Groups such as the Future Farmers of America and the Future Business Leaders of America have been historically significant in reflecting the culture at the high school.

Athletics
The athletic teams of Brentsville District High School (during the regular season) compete in the AA Evergreen District and Region II for which the governing body is the Virginia High School League. Brentsville is, as of 2015, one of the smallest schools to compete in Group 3A athletics. For post-season purposes, Brentsville is assigned to Conference 28 as it is a Group 3A school in the eastern region. Before the 2004 academic year, Brentsville competed in the A Bull Run District. Brentsville's official mascot for all sporting events is the tiger, the school colors are black and orange. The high school athletic program has historically performed well in its wrestling and cross country programs and surprised with outstanding seasons in multiple sports over the years, several times resulting in unexpected state championships. While the football team has never been awarded a state championship, they have made it to the state tournament in recent years. The Tigers won back to back girls' soccer State Championships in 2023 and 2024.

The high school has received academic awards including being ranked as the Sports Illustrated Magazine top athletic school in Virginia in 2005 for the 1995-2005 period. The school also received the Wachovia Cup, now known as the Wells Fargo Cup, in 2001, 2002, and 2003.

Many great athletes have gone through the athletic programs at Brentsville District High School and continued on to play for college programs across the country.

Talk:Sharku

Is this an actual character invented by Tolkien, or just something made up for the movies? I ask because sharkû (note correct spelling!) is the word from which "Sharkey" is said to derive. It seems improbable that it would also be given as a name to a character. Or, rather, it sounds like exactly the kind of thing that would have used for the movies. -Aranel (" Sarah ") 20:11, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

User:Egil/Sandbox/Livio Catullo Stecchini

Livio Catullo Stecchini (1913-10-06 – September, 1979) was a historian of science, a teaching professor, a scholar of ancient weights and measures (the science of metrology), and of the history of cartography in antiquity. He attended Harvard University, where he was awarded his PhD, and taught at the University of Chicago.

Stecchini's work included many controversial elements, and he complained he was ignored by fellow scientists. His defence of Immanuel Velikovsky in the September, 1963 issue of American Behavioral Scientist magazine (that issue was republished in 1966 as The Velikovsky Affair) also contributed to this.

His work on metrology, based on his work on ancient numismatics, ends in conclusions which are rejected by most academics today, and which some label as pseudoscience. His method consists of starting with an assumption, namely that all ancient measures are by definition related. An old and intriguing idea, but one for which no proof has been found. Based on pure numerical analysis, he reaches his conclusion in "A History of Measures":

 * In spite of the efforts of the most learned classical scholars and Orientalists and of the best mathematical minds, such as Kepler, Riccioli, Mersenne, Newton, Boscovich, and Laplace, It was thought that the result had been for a good part negative. In truth, they had obtained perfectly correct evaluations from the empirical data, but could not discover the principle that links them.

 * I have solved the inner rationale of ancient and medieval units of length, and by implication, of all units of measure, by discovering two facts:

 * a) that there were four fundamental types of foot related as 15:16:17:18,
 * b) that each of these types existed in two varieties related as the cube root of 24/the cube root of 25.

No regard is made to the fact that no historical record exists of this relationship. He does suggest some very intricate means by which this could have been executed in practical terms with, again, no evidence from archeology.

Stecchini's analysis of the geometry and methods for constructing the Great Pyramid were interpreted for a popular audience in Peter Tompkins' Secrets of the Great Pyramid with Stecchini's "Notes of the Relation of Ancient Measures to the Great Pyramid," in an appendix to the book.

Thank you for your nice wording. I 'd like to let you know that I am not a native speaker of English, that Christian Persecution Complex is my first article in en.WP, therefore any help on the intro, would be appriciated! Τζερόνυμο (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:31, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you
Of all the years I've been doing this on Wikipedia, this the first time I actually receive such a positive message. Thank you for that, I really appreciate it.190.249.179.87 (talk) 01:23, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

(Regarding the Anna Faris edit; I thought it was fine to just mention the sequel's name and its release, as her character wasn't even mentioned when the first film is talked about in the article.

Warm greetings!

Fake info on E. O. Smith High School article
Hey, just wanted to let you know why I reverted your edit. The architecture info appears to be a high-quality bit of vandalism. The "Lorenzo von Matterhorn" individual named as architect is a pop culture reference (see The Playbook (How I Met Your Mother) and the Lorenzo von Matterhorn wiki used as a citation).

Dan Pena Edit
Hey there - I just wanted to point you to the talk page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Daniel_S._Pe%C3%B1a_Sr.#Rewrite_on_April_18,_2018) where I gave some info on why I'm skeptical about that Times of India article (in addition to what I noted, I can't find any information as to what the "IACMM" court *is*). In either case, I agree with you - if it's true, it should absolutely be there. Axcviii (talk) 02:43, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Not sure if you're watching the page, but I just responded to the Talk discussion. What do you think should be done? It's a little tricky, and I want to be fair to both sides. Axcviii (talk) 10:50, 22 April 2018 (UTC-7)

Sharon Stone
Hey, Sethie, I first edited the Sharon Stone filmography article a year ago, excluding the awards from the tables, and putting more info in the lead, and some guy repeatedly reverted the edits, causing the page to be blocked. I recently did the changes again, to the same response from the same user. Can you check out the edits and give your honest opinion about the changes; I thinks its more reasonable | this way as there is a whole article exclusively for awards and nominations, but the user's attitude is pretty ugly to deal with.

Thank you :) 190.249.179.87 (talk) 16:50, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Blocked for sockpuppetry
About this..... Keep in mind the sheer number of errors made by the people who "investigated me."

1)TantaYum was not a sockpupper. I never made a single edit with it. It was a typo for TantraYum. Verdict of the investigative committee: It was a sockpuppet that I had abused.

2)Devalover was LEGITIMATE sockpuppet. I used it soley for editing prostitution and sex worker related topics- which according to the sockpuppet guidelines, IS ALLOWED> Verdict of the investigative committee: It was a sockpuppet that I had abused.

3)TantraYum, minus ONE accidental comment on a talk page (meaning I posted as Sethie and then accidentally as TantraYum) engaged in NO sockpuppetry. The two accounts were not active on the same page at the same time or even within MONTHS of each other. Verdict of the investigative committee: It was a sockpuppet that I had abused.

4)I created TantraYum to protect my privacy, Sethie reveals my given name, I told this directly to the person running the investigation, he didn't believe me.

5) As TantraYum I did 97% RC patrol, aka patrolling for vandalism.

6) I was accused of being yet another sockpuppet by this committee. To their credit they at laest they admitted they were wrong about.

7) All I was interested in doing was protecting my privacy.

8) If anyone had ASKED, I would have told them all of this, instead, they started an adversarial investigation.

While I honor that they were trying to protect wikipedia... a beautiful need and wish, their strategy for doing so sucked and was erroneous on multiple levels (see above).

The facts speak for themselves.... as do the diminishing number of editors on wikipedia, ala instances like this. Sethie (talk) 23:02, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Eco (video game)

Eco is a wire-frame 3D evolution life simulation game developed by Denton Designs for the Amiga and Atari ST. It was released in 1987 and published by Ocean Software.

The player uses a mouse or joystick to control an insect, which must avoid predators, find food, and then find another insect of the same species and mate with it. The player can then unlock one of several "genes", altering the value of which changes their creature. Some changes are only cosmetic and leave the creature in the same species; others can, for instance, make the initial insect a new species with wings and capable of flight. After unlocking multiple genes the player can become a fast dog-like quadruped, a bird, a scorpion or a humanoid. The game does not end until the player starves, is killed by another creature, or deliberately "evolves" into a plant.

Chin Woo Athletic Association

Chin Woo Athletic Association is an international martial arts organization founded in Shanghai, China, on July 7, 1910, but some sources cite dates in 1909. It has almost over 80 branches based in 30 or more countries worldwide, where it is usually known as an "athletic association" or "federation".

History
Jing Wu was founded as the Jing Wu Athletic Association in Shanghai, China in the early 20th century. Many sources, including the official websites of its branches in various countries, claim that Jing Wu was founded by the martial artist Huo Yuanjia, who died not long after its establishment. Jing Wu was actually founded by a committee of persons, including members of the Tongmenghui, such as Chen Qimei, Nong Zhu, and Chen Tiesheng. Due to Huo's popularity and recent death, the committee had decided that he should be the "face" of Jing Wu, resulting in his strong association with it.

As one of the first public martial arts institutes in China, Jing Wu was intended to create a structured environment for teaching and learning martial arts as opposed to the secretive training that had been common in the past. The founders of Jing Wu felt that the association would keep alive traditions that secrecy and social change would otherwise doom. The basic curriculum drew from several styles of martial arts, giving practitioners a well-rounded martial background in addition to whatever they wished to specialize in. Jing Wu inspired the ecumenism seen in the Chinese martial arts community during the Republican era, giving rise to such efforts as the National Martial Arts Institutes. Sun Yat-sen, founder of the Republic of China, attended the third annual event held by Jing Wu in 1915, giving a speech of encouragement to the attendees. When Sun Yat-sen attended again at the 10th annual event in 1920, he also wrote for a special Jing Wu newsletter and made a plaque with the engraving "martial spirit".

During the period of the Japanese sphere of influence, the Twenty-One Demands sent to the government of the Republic of China resulted in two treaties with Japan on 25 May 1915. This prevented the ruling class from exercising full control over the commoners. With their new freedom, Huo's students purchased a new building to serve as the organization's headquarters and named it "Jing Wu Athletic Association". The association accepted new styles of martial arts other than those taught by Huo. In 1918, Jing Wu Athletic Association opened a branch at Nathan Road in Hong Kong.

In July 1919, Jing Wu Athletic Association sent five representatives to Southeast Asia to expand their activities overseas. The five were Chen Gongzhe, Li Huisheng, Luo Xiaoao, Chen Shizhao and Ye Shutian. They made their first stop in Saigon, Vietnam, where they opened the first Chin Woo school outside of China. They opened schools in Malaysia and Singapore later as well. By 1923, these five masters had opened schools all over Southeast Asia and visited nine different countries.

Present
In 1966, Shanghai's Jing Wu school was forced to discontinue its activities during the Cultural Revolution, whose goals were to destroy old ideas, cultures and customs for the purpose of modernizing China. Those restrictions were lifted in 1976, after which Shanghai's Chin Woo school resumed its activities.

Chin Woo is currently one of the largest wushu organizations in the world with branches in various countries, including Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Poland, Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and Switzerland.

Curriculum
During the early days of Jing Wu in Shanghai, the chief instructor, Zhao Lianhe, developed a curriculum that became the standard Jing Wu sets (Fundamental Routines).
 * Shi Er Lu Tan Tui (十二路潭腿; Twelve Roads of Spring Leg)
 * Gong Li Quan (功力拳; Power Fist)
 * Jie Quan (节拳; Connecting Fist)
 * Da Zhan Quan (大战拳; Big Battle Fist)
 * Qun Yang Gun (群羊棍; Shepherd Staff)
 * Ba Gua Dao (八卦刀; Eight Trigrams Broadsword)
 * Wu Hu Qiang (五虎枪; Five Tiger Spear)
 * Jie Tan Tui (接潭腿; Tan Tui Sparring)
 * Tao Quan (套拳; Set Fist)
 * Dan Dao Chuan Qiang (单刀串枪; Broadsword versus Spear)

Other styles were taught to students as well, but they varied from school to school and depended on the background of the master teaching that style. The standard curriculum, however, was taught in all Jing Wu schools.

Re: Peter Stastny
Hello Janothird. You can view the agreement here and you can discuss it here. Basically, it was agreed that for ice hockey related articles, the most common spelling in English is to be used as the title of the article. The native spelling of a player is to be used once at the beginning of the article and every spelling thereafter in the article use the most common spelling in English. you can read the discussion and you are quite welcome to comment. But the reason we are using the most common spelling in English is because this is the English section of wikipedia and it makes sense to use the English spellings for players. The native spellings can be used in their native language wikipedia, not the English language section of wikipedia. Many wikipedians claim the English spelling is "wrong", but that is not the case; it is simply the English spelling, not the wrong spelling. Masterhatch 08:03, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Limen

In physiology, psychology, or psychophysics, a limen or a liminal point is a sensory threshold of a physiological or psychological response. Such points delineate boundaries of perception; that is, a limen defines a sensory threshold beyond which a particular stimulus becomes perceivable, and below which it remains unperceivable.

Liminal, as an adjective, means situated at a sensory threshold, hence barely perceptible. Subliminal means below perception. The absolute threshold is the lowest amount of sensation detectable by a sense organ.

Hi - Valencia High School (Santa Clarita, California)
Hi there! I noticed that you said you were a senior at Valencia High School (Santa Clarita, California) ... However, since that was quite awhile ago, I figure you're an alumnus now... Regardless, the article is in desperate need of attention by someone who can fix it -- I have no idea who those people are and cannot revert the vandalism (I can't even tell what is vandalism on that page anymore). Anyway, since you are likely an alumnus, I thought it'd be good to ask you - perhaps either you'll be able to edit it ... or perhaps you know someone who could?

Thanks!

Talk:List of Swedish language poets

Merging
Since "poet" is really a sub-group of "writer", and since many authors write both novels and poetry, many people on this short list are also listed at the List of Swedish language writers. I was going to add several names mostly known for thir poetry when I noticed they were already listed there. It seems reasonable to merge this page with List of Swedish language writers, and to add a few descriptive words next to each name, e.g. (novelist), (poet), (journalist, playwright, and novelist), (crime novelist), (children's book author) etc./ Alarm 20:15, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
