User talk:Uhuru82

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Uhuru82! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk Pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely,  Acetic Acid  ( talk  ) 06:47, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Minto, New South Wales

Minto is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Minto is located 50 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Campbelltown and is part of the Macarthur region.

History
Minto was named in honour of the Earl of Minto, Gilbert Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, who was Viceroy of India from 1807 to 1814. The name was originally given to the entire district stretching from just north of Appin up to what is now Denham Court.

The area that constitutes the current suburb of Minto was originally home to the indigenous Tharawal people until the arrival of European settlers from the First Fleet. In 1811, Governor Lachlan Macquarie granted 800 acre in the area to William Redfern, the colony's first surgeon. He in turn named it Campbellfield after Macquarie's wife Elizabeth whose maiden name was Campbell. Redfern used the property as a vineyard and sheep station.

In 1810, Dr Robert Towson built his sandstock home, Varroville, in St Andrews Road, on land granted by Governor Macquarie. The house was subsequently owned by Charles Sturt and James Raymond, the first Postmaster General. In the 1820s, Colonel Parker built a Georgian bungalow called Epping Forest in Raby Road. A farm called Robin Hood Farm was built in Campbelltown Road circa 1830. These three properties are now listed on the Register of the National Estate.

In 1874, a railway station was built in the area and named Campbellfield after the property but this led to confusion with nearby Campbelltown so in 1882, it was renamed Minto. Development of the area followed shortly after and by the 1950s it was a village of around 500 people.

A large slice of land on the east side of Minto was sold to Housing Commission in 1969 to provide cheap housing. Shortly after a large industrial estate was also established in the area and Minto's transition from village to Sydney suburb was complete.

Heritage listings
Minto has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
 * Lot 315 Ben Lomond Road: Stone Cottage, Minto

Transport
Minto railway station is on the Main Southern railway line. Minto also has a small inland port connected by rail to Port Botany. The inland port consists of a single rail siding with an adjacent hard stand surface for the containers, and the siding is operated by top and tail trains with engines at both ends.

Schools
Minto is home to two high schools, Sarah Redfern High and Alfaisal College; five primary schools, Campbellfield Public, Minto Public, Sarah Redfern Public, The Grange Public and Alfaisal College; and a special school, Passfield Park, which services disabled students from pre-school through to high school.

Rugby League players, Michael Lett, Gray Vaine, Justin Brooker, John Skandalis, Ken McGuinness, Kevin McGuinness, Israel Folau, Mickey, Lopini and Lelea Paea, Tim Lafai and Byron Fruean all attended Sarah Redfern High School, a notable rugby league school.

Housing
Public housing belonging to Housing NSW has recently been demolished in the suburb new housing estate called One Minto. This decision had been made in an attempt to break the generational cycle of a socially disadvantaged suburb that the Minto estate had infamously been known for over the past few decades. Because of this concentration of disadvantage, the One Minto Estate experienced a range of social issues including high unemployment and poor health, low income, high percentage of single parent families, a lack of access to educational opportunities and other services and high crime rates. The majority of the houses will be private with around 850 privately owned houses compared to only 360 public housing homes. The public housing has been evenly spread among the suburb, in efforts to prevent concentrated areas of welfare dependency.

Although the One Minto estate sits at approximately 30 percent public housing, the suburb as a whole has 15 percent in total.

Demographics
At the 2021 census, the population of Minto was 13,940.
 * Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people made up 3.1% of the population.
 * 49.0% of people were born in Australia. The most common countries of birth were Bangladesh 8.8%, India 5.4%, Nepal 4.7%, Philippines 3.4% and New Zealand 3.1%.
 * 41.7% of people only spoke English at home. Other languages spoken at home included Bengali 12.6%, Nepali 5.7%, Hindi 3.7%, Arabic 3.4% and Urdu 3.0%.
 * The most common responses for religion were Islam 22.3%, Catholic 16.1%, No Religion 15.7%, Hinduism 12.6% and Not stated 7.2%.
 * The median weekly household income was $1,646, lower than the national median of $1,746.

At the 2016 census, there were 12,551 people in Minto.

Notable residents

 * Rugby league players Israel Folau, Jarryd Hayne and Krisnan Inu all grew up within a few blocks of each other in Minto and played park football together. Mickey Paea and Tim Lafai also known in Minto as good helpers of the Minto Cobras team both players give up their time to help the Minto Cobras out every week in their extra time.
 * Member of the Parliament of New South Wales and former Housing Minister Cherie Burton grew up in Minto.

Sport and recreation
The Minto Indoor Sports Centre is home to local basketball and netball teams. The Macarthur Heat plays in the New South Wales State Basketball League and uses the Centre as its home court. The Campbelltown District Netball Association, which is also based at the Centre, plays in the third division of the Netball NSW State League.

Minto has a rugby league team, the Minto Cobras playing in the Western Suburbs District Junior Rugby League. The Cobras home ground is Townson Oval. They have produced a number of NRL players including Israel Folau, Michael Lett, Gray Vaine, Justin Brooker, John Skandalis, Ken McGuinness, Kevin McGuinness, Jarryd Hayne, Mickey Lopini, Lalea Paea, Krisnan Inu and Tim Lafai. Mickey Paea, a current Bulldogs forward, always gives up his extra time and helps out Minto Cobras. The club is proud of him for doing that because not many NRL players would give up spare time to go visit the clubs where they played their junior footy.

Birth Control (band)

Birth Control is a German rock band known for their progressive hard rock sound and provocative album covers (such as that of Two Eggs – Two Concerts which depicts a hen cooking eggs).

History
Birth Control formed in 1966 in West Berlin from two other bands, the Earls and the Gents. The band was founded with a lineup consisting of Bernd Koschmidder (bass), Reinhold Sobotta (organ), Rolf Gurra (saxophone, vocals), Fritz Gröger (vocals), Reiner Borchert (guitar), Hugo Egon Balder (drums), and Klaus Orso (guitar). Within five years of the band's formation all seven of the original members had departed, but the band continued under the leadership of long-standing members drummer (and later lead vocalist) Bernd Noske (who replaced Balder in late 1968) and guitarist Bruno Frenzel (who replaced Borchert in 1969).

Following the death of Frenzel in 1983, the group disbanded, but reunited in 1993 with only Noske remaining from the previous lineup. Other members of the reformed band included returning bassist/vocalist Horst Stachelhaus, as well as guitarist Rocco Zodiak and keyboardist Xaver Fischer.

Despite the death of mainstay Stachelhaus in 1999, the band continued under Noske's guidance, touring Germany and release new albums periodically following the turn of the century. In later years, former members Peter Föller (bass, vocals) and Zeus B. Held (keyboards) both returned to the fold as guest musicians at occasional concerts. The band came to an end on February 18, 2014 with the death of Noske. The final lineup of the band consisted of Noske, bassist Hannes Vesper, keyboardist Sascha Kuhn, and guitarist Martin Ettrich.

In 2016 the band regrouped and started performing again. The new lineup consisted of several members who at some point where part of the band's history: Peter Föller (vocals), Martin Ettrich (guitar, talkbox), Sascha Kühn (keyboards), Hannes Vesper (bass) and Manni von Bohr (drums). In the same year they released a new studio album ("Here and Now") for the first time in 13 years.

Anglo-American music

Anglo-American music is derived from the English culture of the Thirteen Colonies of the United States and has been a founding influence for American folk and popular music.

Overview
Many American folk songs use the same music, but with new lyrics, often as parodies of the original material. Anglo-American songs can also be distinguished from British songs by having fewer pentatonic tunes, less prominent accompaniment (but with heavier use of drones) and more melodies in major.

Anglo-American traditional music, dating back to colonial times, includes a variety of broadside ballads, humorous stories and tall tales, and disaster songs regarding mining, shipwrecks (especially in New England) and murder. Folk heroes like Joe Magarac, John Henry and Jesse James are also part of many songs. Folk dance of English origin include the square dance, descended from the European high society quadrille, combined with the American innovation of a caller instructing the dancers. Sea shanties are an important part of Anglo-American music.

The folklorist Alan Lomax described regional differences among rural Anglo-American musicians as included the relaxed and open-voiced northern vocal style and the pinched and nasal southern style, with the west exhibiting a mix of the two. He attributed these differences to sexual relations, the presence of minorities and frontier life.

The Shadow of the Torturer

The Shadow of the Torturer is a fantasy novel by American writer Gene Wolfe, published by Simon & Schuster in May 1980. It is the first of four volumes in The Book of the New Sun which Wolfe had completed in draft before The Shadow of the Torturer was published. It relates the story of Severian, an apprentice Seeker for Truth and Penitence (the guild of torturers), from his youth through his expulsion from the guild and subsequent journey out of his home city of Nessus.

In 1987, Locus magazine ranked The Shadow of the Torturer number four among the 33 "All-Time Best Fantasy Novels", based on a poll of subscribers.

Plot summary
Severian, an apprentice in the Torturers' Guild, barely survives a swim in the River Gyoll. On his way back to the Citadel, Severian and several other apprentices sneak into a necropolis where Severian encounters Vodalus, a legendary revolutionary. Vodalus, along with two others, including a woman named Thea, are robbing a grave. Vodalus and his companions are confronted by volunteer guards. Severian saves Vodalus's life, earning his trust and the reward of a single coin.

Shortly before Severian is elevated to journeyman he encounters and falls in love with Thecla, a beautiful aristocratic prisoner. Thecla's crime is never made clear, though it is implied that she is imprisoned for political reasons since Thecla's half-sister is Thea, Vodalus's lover. The Autarch (ruler of the Commonwealth) wishes to use Thecla to capture Vodalus. When finally Thecla is put to torture, Severian takes pity on her and helps her commit suicide by smuggling a knife into her cell, thus breaking his oath to the guild.

Though Severian expects to be tortured and executed, instead the head of the guild dispatches Severian to Thrax, a distant city which has need of an executioner. Master Palaemon gives Severian a letter of introduction to the archon of the city and Terminus Est, a magnificent executioner's sword. He departs the guild headquarters, traveling through the decaying city of Nessus. He finally comes upon an inn, where he forces the innkeeper to take him in despite being full and is asked to share a room with other boarders. His roommates are the giant Baldanders and Dr. Talos, travelling as mountebanks, who invite Severian to join them in a play to be performed the same day. During breakfast, Dr. Talos manages to recruit the waitress for his play and they set out into the streets.

Not intending to participate, Severian parts with the group and stops at a rag shop to purchase a mantle to hide his fuligin cloak (the uniform of his guild, which inspires terror in common folk). The shop is owned by a twin brother and sister, and the brother immediately takes interest in Terminus Est, but Severian refuses to sell the sword. Shortly after, a masked and armoured hipparch enters the shop and challenges Severian to a duel. Severian, who believes this is an indirect means for the Autarch to execute him for his crime, is forced to accept, and he departs with the sister, Agia, to secure an avern, a deadly plant used for dueling. While on their way, urged by Agia's bet to a passing fiacre, their driver crashes into and destroys the altar of a religious order, where Agia is accused of stealing a precious artifact. After Agia is searched and released, they continue their journey to the Botanic Gardens, a large landmark of Nessus created by the mysterious Father Inire, right hand to the Autarch, where they encounter strange hypnotic illusions and at one point appear to be transported to present-day Earth without realizing it.

Inside the gardens, Severian falls into a lake used to inter the dead, and while pulling himself out he finds a young woman named Dorcas to have come up from the lake as well. Dazed and confused, the woman follows Severian and Agia. Severian secures the avern with the help of a man named Hildegrin, who he recognizes as a companion of Vodalus from the night they met in the necropolis. Agia, Severian and Dorcas proceed to an inn near the dueling grounds. While eating dinner, Severian receives a mysterious note warning about one of the women. After dinner, Severian fights in the duel, and though stabbed by the avern he miraculously survives. When Severian wakes again, he finds himself to be in a lazaret. After finding Dorcas and identifying himself, he is requested to perform an execution. The prisoner turns out to be his opponent, Agia's brother, whom he executes after learning that Agia had challenged him in disguise, while her brother fought him with the avern, as part of a scheme to kill him and steal Terminus Est.

Severian continues his travels toward Thrax, and Dorcas accompanies him. While searching his belongings, Severian finds the Claw of the Conciliator. Apparently Agia stole the Claw from the altar they destroyed and placed it in Severian's belongings knowing that she would be searched. Eventually Severian and Dorcas encounter Dr. Talos, Baldanders and Jolenta, who are almost ready to perform the play they had invited Severian to the morning before. Severian assists in the play, and the next day the group sets out toward the great gate leading out of Nessus, where they meet a man named Jonas. As they are passing through the gate, there is suddenly a commotion and the narration abruptly ends.

Reception
Greg Costikyan reviewed The Shadow of the Torturer and The Claw of the Conciliator in Ares magazine #9 and commented that "This is fantasy as it should be written; portentous events, marvelous beings, wielders of great powers, a land of terror and delight. If Wolfe never writes another word, he will have made his mark."

Neil Gaiman, in his list of the three greatest science fiction novels, ranked The Shadow of the Torturer first, ahead of Neuromancer and The Left Hand of Darkness.

Awards
The Shadow of the Torturer won the annual World Fantasy Award and British Science Fiction Association Award as the year's best novel. Among other annual awards for fantasy or science fiction novels, it placed second for the Locus (fantasy), third for the Campbell Memorial (SF), and was a finalist for the Nebula (SF).

Limited edition
Centipede Press, a small independent fine press, produced a limited edition of The Shadow of the Torturer in 2007: one hundred copies, signed by Gene Wolfe, with full color artwork by Alexander Preuss of Germany. The $225 book had a ribbon marker, head and tail bands, three-piece cloth construction, and a protective slipcase. It is now out of print.

Easton Press included it in their "Masterpieces of Science Fiction" series, red leather bound, gold stamped and edged, ribbon marker, and printed on acid neutral paper (like all the series) with custom artwork, collector's notes insert, and a custom introduction written by Tom Shippey of Leeds, England. All additional text and artwork are copyright 1989 by Easton press. Unlike some of the works included in the series, the author did not sign the copies printed by Easton Press.

Comic book
The novel was adapted as a serial comic book, The Shadow of the Torturer by Ted Naifeh (Innovation Publishing, 1991). It was cancelled after three of six planned issues.

The Claw of the Conciliator

The Claw of the Conciliator is a science fantasy novel by American writer Gene Wolfe, first released in 1981. It is the second volume in the four-volume series The Book of the New Sun.

Plot introduction
The book continues the story of Severian, a journeyman in the Seekers for Truth and Penitence (the guild of torturers), describing his travels north to the city of Thrax.

An independent tale in the book, "The Tale of the Student and his Son", was later published separately in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, October 1981.

Plot summary
The book continues shortly after the previous installment left off, skipping Severian's journey from the gate of Nessus to the nearby town of Saltus. Having been separated from the rest of the group he was traveling with, Severian pauses his search for them here as he is given an opportunity to practice his art (in this case, execution) on two people. The first was accused of being a servant of Vodalus, a revolutionary leader. As the man is dragged out of his home by a mob, Severian glimpses Agia amidst the crowd, a woman who with her twin brother had formerly tried to swindle and then kill Severian to gain his valuable executioner's sword. (Severian executed the brother at the request of the local authorities.) Realizing she has been sighted, Agia flees and Severian, still in love with her, follows, searching for her at the town fair. Unable to find her, he ends up at a tent containing a man whose skin is green. The green man is held as a slave, and his master makes money off of him, claiming he can answer any question. In answer to Severian's queries as to how he could know everything, the green man tells Severian he is from the future. The green man does not know where Agia can be found, but Severian takes pity on him and gives him a piece of his whetstone so that he can free himself by grinding through his chains, thus recalling his mercy to Thecla, another prisoner, in the first book. Unable to find Agia, Severian returns to town where he later executes a woman accused of being a witch.

Eating dinner with his friend Jonas (whom he met at the gate at Nessus) that evening, he finds a letter he first thinks is from Thecla (but is actually from Agia) asking him to meet her at a nearby cave. In the cave, Severian encounters and barely escapes a group of man-apes. The light from the Claw (a relic he accidentally came into possession of, which had previously been held by a religious order) stops the man-apes' attack, but it also seems to wake a gargantuan unknown creature deep below in the cave, who is only heard and not seen. Severian has little time to ponder this as he escapes, only to be attacked by Agia and her assassins outside the cave. One of the attackers is killed by one of the man-apes, who had its hand cut off by Severian in the battle in the cave. The ape gestures its stump at Severian, wanting him to do something with it, but Severian does not know what. Severian prepares to execute Agia, but, still unable to hate her, lets her go and returns to Saltus, where he and Jonas are kidnapped by Vodalus' gang for having agreed to execute one of its members.

Severian recalls to Vodalus that he saved his life some years past, so Vodalus allows Severian to enter his service. Severian and Jonas attend a midnight dinner with Vodalus, where they consume Thecla's roasted flesh, which, when combined with an alien substance, allows Thecla's memories to live within Severian. Given the task to deliver a message to a servant in the House Absolute, the Autarch's seat of power, Severian and Jonas set off to the north. They are attacked by a flying creature who feeds on the heat and life force of living beings, and escape only by tricking the creature into attacking and killing a nearby soldier instead. Severian feels guilty and, having a suspicion of the healing powers of the Claw, uses it to bring the soldier back to life. They are then captured by guards of the House Absolute and thrown into an antechamber designed to hold prisoners indefinitely. Severian's Claw heals a wound Jonas receives during the night they spend there; then the pair escape some unknown horror using a pass phrase to open a secret door — Severian remembers the phrase using Thecla's memory. Walking the corridors of the House Absolute, Jonas is revealed to be a robot who once crash-landed on earth and is now partly covered by human flesh, and steps into a mirror and disappears, promising to return for Jolenta when he is healed. Severian is lost and eventually encounters the Autarch himself, to whom he swears service, upon being shown a portal to another universe.

Stumbling into the gardens of the House Absolute, Severian is reunited with Dorcas, Dr. Talos, and Baldanders, who are preparing to once again perform the play they put on in the first book. Severian participates again, but the play is cut short when Baldanders flies into a rage and attacks the audience, revealing that aliens are among them. The band is scattered and Severian finds them a distance away the next morning, heading north. Talos and Baldanders part ways with Severian and Dorcas at a crossroad, Severian heading toward Thrax, and the giant and his physician headed toward Lake Diuturna. The waitress Jolenta tries to have Talos take her with him, but he has no more use for her now that the plays are no longer necessary, and Severian is forced to take her. As they head north, Jolenta is attacked by a "blood bat" and becomes ill. It is revealed that she had been scientifically altered by Dr. Talos to be gorgeous and desirable, but is quickly becoming sickly and unattractive. Soon the trio meets an old farmer who tells them they must pass through an enigmatic stone city to get to Thrax. Upon arriving at the ruinous city, Severian sees a pair of witches initiate a dream-like event in which ghostly dancers of the stone town's past fill the area and engage with the witch's servant, who is actually Vodalus's lieutenant Hildegrin. The book ends with Dorcas and Severian emerging from a stupor in the stone town, Jolenta dead, and the witches and Hildegrin gone.

Reception
Greg Costikyan reviewed The Shadow of the Torturer and The Claw of the Conciliator in Ares Magazine #9 and commented that "This is fantasy as it should be written; portentous events, marvelous beings, wielders of great powers, a land of terror and delight. If Wolfe never writes another word, he will have made his mark."

Awards
The Claw of the Conciliator won the Nebula Award for Best Novel, in 1981; won the Locus Award in 1982; and Hugo and World Fantasy Award nominations in 1982.

Limited edition
In 2008, Centipede Press, a small privately owned fine press, produced a limited edition of The Claw of the Conciliator. Like their previous limited edition of The Shadow of the Torturer, this book was limited to 100 copies, each signed by Gene Wolfe. This edition also included full color artwork by the German artist Alexander Preuss, a ribbon marker, head and tail bands, and three-piece cloth construction. It also came with a protective slipcase. Retail price for this limited edition was $225. It is now out of print.

The Citadel of the Autarch

The Citadel of the Autarch is a science fantasy novel by American writer Gene Wolfe, first released in 1983. It is the fourth and final volume in the four-volume series The Book of the New Sun.

In 1987 Wolf followed this fourth volume with a coda novel entitled The Urth of the New Sun, after complaints from readers that it ended abruptly and without an adequate sense of conclusion. Many consider The Urth of the New Sun to be the fifth and final part of the series.

Plot introduction
Unlike the first books in the series, The Citadel of the Autarch picks up right after the end of the previous one, The Sword of the Lictor. It tells of the travels of Severian, weak and defenseless after his encounter with Baldanders and Dr. Talos. Severian continues his travels, which lead him into war.

Plot
Severian finds himself wandering around when he first happens upon a dead soldier whom he revives with the Claw. The soldier remains unable to speak as they make their way to the Pelerines camp. In the camp, Severian suffers a fever and is treated along with others injured in the war. While recovering, Severian judges a story telling contest. Before leaving he returns the Claw by putting it in an altar. Outside the church Severian is tasked to visit a friend of the Pelerines in the mountain, to bring him back from the danger of the war to the safety of the camp. Severian arrives to the man's house but, due to time-travel related phenomena, the man disappears as he is led away. Upon returning to the camp, Severian discovers it has been attacked and abandoned. Severian soon finds the new camp where most of those he met during his stay are dead or dying.

Eventually, Severian is drawn into war against armies of the North composed of people known as Ascians. Severian nearly perishes but is rescued by the androgynous spy he met in the House Absolute, the Autarch of the Commonwealth. Severian is nursed back to health and converses with the Autarch about his role in the Commonwealth. They board a flier and while heading out over the war zone, they are shot down. The Autarch is dying and tells Severian to consume the alzabo vial around his neck and consume his flesh, as Severian is to be the next Autarch. Severian does so and thus he acquires hundreds of consciousnesses that the Autarch once had.

Before the Autarch died, he messaged Vodalus that the Autarch was aboard the flier. Thea and a group of Vodalus' men ascend on the crash site and rescue Severian from the Ascians. Severian is held prisoner and is visited by Agia who attempts to kill him once again. He survives and is rescued by the green time traveler whom he rescued earlier in The Claw of the Conciliator. The green man opens a passage through time in which Severian is then visited by an alien who takes the form of Master Malrubius and Triskele. Malrubius tells him that he must one day face a challenge that will either allow man to return to the stars (if he succeeds) or strip him of his manhood, leaving him infertile, and unable to produce an heir (if he fails). Severian realizes that the last Autarch must have failed which feminized him and gave him his androgynous looks.

After the meeting, Severian is left on a beach. He discovers a bush covered in thorns. He claims the single black one, grown from a species of bush that grow exclusively white Claw shapes, and ponders the meaning of the Claw in relationship to higher beings, time-travel and the New Sun.

Severian makes his way back to Nessus aboard a ship whose crew revere him on sight. He visits with people of his past and assumes the role of Autarch. He returns to the waiter who slipped him the note in the Shadow of the Torturer saying that Agia had been there before. The note was meant for Dorcas who reminded the waiter of his mother. A picture of Dorcas in a locket around the waiter's neck confirms this suspicion. Severian also notes that the waiter very much resembles himself and it is implied that the waiter is Severian's father.

The book ends with Severian exploring the citadel and retracing Triskele's steps through an underground building. Seeing the dog's footsteps and his own he follows the latter, returning to the Atrium of Time.

Reception
Dave Langford reviewed The Citadel of the Autarch for White Dwarf #44, and stated that "I think it's extremely good: marvellously written, with a feel for language which Stephen Donaldson would have done well to imitate. Unlike Donaldson's, Wolfe's obscure words lurk unobtrusively until they seem both familiar and - thanks to their careful planting in context - meaningful."

Dave Pringle reviewed The Citadel of the Autarch for Imagine magazine, and stated that "The awful suspicion dawns: are the Ascians commies? Is all this an allegory of the Korean War?"

Awards
Citadel was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1983, but did not win.

The Sword of the Lictor

The Sword of the Lictor is a science fantasy novel by American writer Gene Wolfe. First released in 1982, it is the third volume in the four-volume series The Book of the New Sun.

Plot introduction
The book continues the story of Severian, a lictor in the Seekers for Truth and Penitence, describing his time as a torturer in the city Thrax and then his travels after soon leaving Thrax.

Plot summary
Having completed the journey he was sent upon when he was exiled from the Citadel, Severian takes up his position as the Lictor (or Master of Chains) of the city of Thrax. His lover Dorcas falls into depression, in part because of her position as the partner of a reviled and feared figure in a strange city. She is also becoming increasingly upset by her mysterious past, and convinced that she must unravel its secrets, however disturbing they may turn out to be.

Escaping an exotic creature that incinerates things, which seems to have come to Thrax to find him, Severian finds himself again showing mercy to a condemned prisoner and is forced to flee the city. He and Dorcas separate, and he journeys alone into the mountains in search of the Pelerines, whom he believes to be the rightful keepers of the priceless relic which he carries, the Claw of the Conciliator.

On the road, he battles his enemy Agia, and the Alzabo—a beast which acquires the memories of those it consumes, as well as a gang of men who have opted to become as animals. In the wake of this violence, he takes an orphaned boy, little Severian, into his care. They encounter a village of men who claim to be sorcerers, and who possess more power than Severian at first believes. Escaping amidst the threat that yet another dangerous creature has been set upon his trail, Severian discovers a monarch from the past, Typhon, in an ancient city. Typhon tries to manipulate Severian during a complex confrontation. Little Severian is killed.

Continuing his journey, Severian is drawn into a local conflict on the side of a group of islanders being enslaved. He then discovers that his old companions Dr. Talos and Baldanders are the enslavers, and is forced to battle the giant Baldanders.

In the wake of this battle, in which his sword and the Claw are both (at least apparently, in the latter case) destroyed, Severian seeks to digest a series of revelations: about the nature of Baldanders, the nature of the aliens who manipulate events on Urth yet profess to be his friends, and the nature of the Claw which he carried for so long. As he does so, he finds himself approaching the edge of the war in the North.

Awards
In 1983 The Sword of the Lictor won the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel and the August Derleth Award, and was nominated for the Nebula in 1982 and Hugo in 1983.

Wiki Syntax
Thanks for letting me know about that problem with the maths tags - I had missed Wiml's note, and I've added a note to his talk page about this problem.

With the new lines between square brackets, that's a tricky one. A lot of the time these really are problems, and to date they could always be rewritten on one line, so they're deliberately listed as problems.

For example, these should all not work (even though the brackets are balanced, the new line means they don't work): second line]] second line]] (this one displays really weirdly)
 * [[first line
 * [[first line
 * second line]]
 * [[first line|

This sort of works, but not as the author probably intended: second line]]
 * [[first line|some-text

And the image example works OK. Note that the bacterium example can be rewritten as all being one line by removing all the line breaks, and it will still display the same (although I can understand why they'd prefer it on separate lines, as it's easier to read the source this way). Honestly, I'm not really sure what to do with this one ... :-\  All the best, and thank you for your feedback and help with fixing up the Wiki Syntax. -- Nickj 01:37, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

A question to improve our city articles
I saw that in San Jose, California users have put an info box at the bottom which features all cities of the State of California. So, I was thinking that it would be useful if we also had this for our provinces. I can't do it because I wouldn't know how to create it. By the way, I have gathered lots of information and I'm currently drawing some graphics to come up with a comprehensive article about Lobos (both: city and Partido). I will publish it soon. Luis María Benítez 5 July 2005 23:18 (UTC)

 * I see what you mean. Problem is that Province articles are very thin, and we still have very few Argentine cities, and most of the are stubs, so making a Template for Province Cities for each Province that would have all Red Links in an article that its smaller than the table itself sounds a little bit unnecessary. Perhaps it would be wiser to wait for more Cities to be available. If you insist on doing them (Lets say Buenos Aires Cities and Buenos Aires Partidos) I'll give you a hand.

 * You have done a very good job with Lobos. I hope you will focus on other localidades or even other topics ones you're finished with Lobos. Remember, if you like football, don't work just on your team's article, but on all the teams of the Legue, on the League itself and on its players. -Mariano July 6, 2005 06:22 (UTC)

 * There are things that could be written a bit better, such as " Agustina Solari, came from Zoagli, Italy", "supposedly working his passage to Hong Kong", "he began to paint seriously[...]", too long brackets in "(first in watercolor[...]", some unconnected sentences, a bit of style. I don't know, I didn't meant to raise a controversy, just a matter of personal opinion. -Mariano 07:18, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

 * I literally don't see want you'd want to change about this. The comma between "Zoagli" and "Italy" isn't pretty, but is required by English-langauge orthography (if you are referring to something else, I don't get it); "supposedly working his passage to Hong Kong" seems to me precisely correct: what don't you like about it? The third, you are welcome to do something about, if you see a different way to word it.

Cities?
As a native English speaker, I am not entirely happy with  'CITIES ' as the best translation for the Partidos (Refer. Greater Buenas Aires). I assume these are districts, muncipalities or other subdivisions of the Greater BA. If I am correct in my assumption then I feel it is confusing to those unfamiliar with Argentina (like myself). (I initially thought these must be population centres spread out over all of Argentina until I saw one or two that I recognised as being part of Greater BA.) I am of the opinion that while one or two of these Partidos could possibly be classified as cities, many would not. My impression of a city is a completly separate centre of population of a certain size which does not adjoin another city. Perhaps it might be better to classify these partidos in the English version of Wiki as either districts, subdivisions, municipalities or suburbs.

User:Conce21:37, 2005 July 13 (UTC)

Cities and Partidos are very different things, of course. I'm not sure exactly why you bring this up; perhaps because usually the Partido takes the name of the biggest city in it. Examples: La Plata, La Plata Partido; Avellaneda, Avellaneda Partido.

I think its fine with Partido, I'm not sure about the literal translation, I would say Departments, as each city in the Partido has its own municipality, but for some weird reason other provinces have Departamentos instead of Partidos.

I've checked the Gran Buenos Aires article and I don't see this ambiguity. When it says "Once cities by themselves, permanent growth merged them in[...]" it means actually cities. As an example, the Gran Buenos Aires includes some of the cities in the Avellaneda Partido but ont al of them (Gerli).

Please, tell me if I got right what you meant.-Mariano 07:10, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, I'm basically ok with your explanation now. I missed the heading when I first saw the list of cities. so did not see the reference to cities being merged. Thanks. Paul E 01:13, 2005 July 15 (UTC)

 * From the administrative point of view, the partido is like a county in the USA. Now, in Greater Buenos Aires, this has the effect of several cities sharing their mayor and their council, because there is no administrative subdivision finer than partido. For example: San Justo and Ramos Mejia are major cities, but the municipality is called La Matanza. elpincha 23:14, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Cesar Menotti

 * Great that somebody looks after me. I'd rather write and let the others wikify.
 * The historic breadth I am adding to Menotti's article will be one day (I hope) re-mastered in a history of the selección that will do justice to so many great players and coaches... elpincha 23:14, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

 * You always have Argentina national football team! Great work with Menotti.
 * So who's next? Juan Carlos Lorenzo ? ;o)
 * Wikifying takes time (search for the proper article) but little thinking. So I'm cool with it. -Mariano 08:55, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Template:CIA
Please do not remove this. Yes, there is already a note about the source of the information, but it all needs cleaning up. In addition to making a box, the also causes the article to be placed in Category:CIA World Factbook cleanup. Obviously once the information has been reformatted to be in prose, then it can be removed. Morwen - Talk 08:35, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Chubut maps
Gracias Mariano. No problem about the edit-conflicts - sorry if I trod on your toes. Actually, I found it funny that we were working on the same things at the same time but I think together we have improved the Chubut pages considerably. Good idea on the map, I'll amend accordingly. I seem to have a problem making PNG files as they show up in strange colours on my mac, so I am doing the maps as gifs for now. Thanks again. Mtiedemann 10:44, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

User categorisation
I did not 'erase' the page, it has been moved to a category. I appreciate that the category addition instructions are still there, but all of the users who have manually listed themselves have also been tagged for categorisation appropriately. The idea is to remove an extremely large bulk of unsorted lists, to be replaced by much more-manageable categories. All countries, territories, and states are undergoing the same makeover. If you would like to help with the conversion, please do, but PLEASE don't undo things that myself and a few others have spent a long time working on. Thanks.--thereverendeg 00:16, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. I took my time to check other categories and I saw they where still using listings, so I reverted it. Listings had the advantage of letting you add comments, and sort in more than one subcategory (Administrators, etc). But if that's what was decided then let it be. -Mariano 07:07, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Entre Ríos
Hola Mariano, puedes imaginar algo que se llama "Entre Ríos" y no refiere a la provincia argentina? Entre Ríos es la ultima provincia aquella hasta ahore no falta disambiguation. Sabes que viene despues de provincia - departamento - ... ? algo como comunas o municipios? Tobias Conradi (Talk) 13:11, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

As far as I understand it, it goes: Provincia, Departamento, Municipio, Localidad. But most of the time 2 of them are the same thing.

Examples (In Rio Negro)
 * General Roca is a Departamento, a Municipio and a Localidad.
 * Localidad:El Bolson, Municipio:Bariloche, Deparmaneto:Bariloche
 * Localida:Cipolletti, Municipio:Cipolleti, Departamento:General Roca
 * Localidad:Ingeniero Huergo, Municipio:Mainque, Departamento:General Roca

thx, Localidad would be city, village, town?
 * Localidad = District
 * Province, Department, Municipality, District

Quilmes photo on Commons
I have tagged the picture Image:Cerveza-Quimes-Label-P72300.jpg with the Logo-tag as I think a trademark can not be published under a licence usable in Commons. --ALE! 15:23, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Mmmm, that doesn't sound quite smart, but I really don't know. I believe there's no copyright violation; where would that be explained in the Wikipedia? Please, let me know before erasing the picture, or if there's a discussion regarding this. -Mariano 15:37, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Trademarks can be used under a fair use-licence but not under a GNU FDL as GNU FDL alows to alter the picture. But then this would be a violation of the trademark. --ALE! 21:08, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Economy template
Regarding your note... By chance, unfortunately, I was just renaming it to Template:Economy of Argentina. In fact it does refer basically to the crisis, but Argentina's economy has been in one crisis or another since I was learned to say "crisis" (that would be quite a long time). :) I just went through LECOP and Patacón the other day, and added the template there two.

That said, I think renaming it is fine. But maybe there should be a Template:Economy of Argentina for general economic topics, if relevant.
 * I think we still have not enought information about the Economy of Argentina. (Industry, Agro, activities, history, etc), but I would like to see that, and the infobox, done! -Mariano 15:50, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Province article naming
On a different issue, what's really your opinion about the province name thing? I'm asking this to you especially because you're a major contributor. I got it that you think it's ugly, but is there anything else? I'm not convinced at all about the reasons put up by Tobias Conradi. --Pablo D. Flores 15:39, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

 * As I said before, even though I also disagree with Tobias, and he has a history of conflicts because of non-consented-moves, I prefer the Buenos Aires Province. Mainly because I use it that way. It's the officinal name, it gives all the needed information in the title, and it sounds better to me He was born in the Buenos Aires Province.

 * Nevertheless, I agreed to set a voting on it, so I will adhere to the final result. Once we have founded consent, there is little he can do against it. But since this is an unsolved problem in Wikipedia, I doubt we will find consent on this.

 * -Mariano 15:50, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

 * at the same time he has a history of non-conflicts and of consented moves and of acceptance of moves in the other direction and of reverts that later were reverted by others in the direction he was trying to get it before. The non-consented move conflicts may be 3 or 5 but all were solved. That's nothing regarding the quantity of subnational entities worldwide. To editors that only work regional this might look much. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 19:29, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, if you have 24 provinces and you have a conflict naming 5 of them, then that's indeed much to me. Because you meant me, obviously — yes, I'm only "working regional" at this time.

About the Laguna de Lobos
Hi. About this article I don't think I will expand it. I couldn't come up with detailed information. There are lots of brochures with propaganda but they don't feature useful information. For the time being, I consider this article could be deleted. No problem. Regards, Luis María Benítez 21:09, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Hola!
Hi, Mariano. Im proud to know you're from Argentina, el bello cono sur, as it is nicknamed in my country, Puerto Rico. It is always a pleasure to see Latin Americans like you and I (and if you're gonna include Spain, well. Hispanics) working here and demonstrating to the world how much we can achieve.

I have never been to Argentina yet I love your country. When I grew up, my neighbors were from there, they were the purest and most wonderful people you can imagine. Later on, I became interested in aviation, boxing, and Latin American music and film and you know, Ive learned so much about your country just by reading, listening to your singers (Sandro, Serra Lima come to mind), watching film and so many other things, Im just thankful to God that Argentina has given us so much to be proud of about being Latinos as a race, like Mexico, Cuba and my country, of course. If you look at my user page, you can tell that I actually have a model of an Aerolineas Argentinas Boeing 747 I got from Buenos Aires right in front of my face.

Thats why I've dedicated articles such as Hugo Corro, Susana Gimenez, Aerolineas Argentinas, Palito Ortega, Jorge Porcel, Alberto Olmedo, Telefe, Chiquititas, Juan Roldan, Luis Firpo and so many others I can't remember to your country, so that people can learn that Argentinos, and, for that matter also, Latinos, are great achievers. I originated the pages, they may have been changed later by others, but I originated them as a way to say thank you to Argentina for your contributions to our history as a Latino race.

About the notes on the Aerolineas Argentinas article, I put them there only because the guys on timetableimages.com actually request that one does so. Entiendo tu punto de vista. What you and I need to decide to do is, where can we put the note???

Thank you for reading my words and God bless you. I hope to hear from you soon! Viva la Argentina!!

Sincerely yours, Antonio Los Hispanos Unidos Martin
 * I understand why you added the comment, and I shapped it in a way it will be available to everyone, yet it will not distract the user that is not interested in this information.
 * If you think the footnote (linkable from the image's text) is not enought, then we can consider putting it in the image's text itself.
 * Regarding the Boeing 747 model, do you still have it? you think you could take a nice shot of it to add it to the page?
 * Thanks for all your articles and edits on Argentina. Take care! Mariano 10:41, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Images
Please, when you upload an image to the Wikipeida, do it to commons:Special:Upload at commons:, this way it will be available to all the wikiprojects and not onls to the English Wikipedia. Thank you very much, Mariano 08:29, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Well thanks for the comment, I didn't know that. Do you know if the images from English Wikipedia can be moved to commons:? DarMol 4 August 2005

Leopoldo Alas y Ureña
About the articles regarding Leopoldo Alas y Ureña and the newspaper Clarín, I felt it was needed to direct Clarín to a disambiguation page because, even though it was only an alias, in Spain (and I believe in all Spanish-speaking countries, though I am not sure) he is known at least as much by Clarín as by Leopoldo Alas, so it could have been confusing not to insert a disambiguation page.

Hi Mariano. A while ago, you added the cleanup tag to Plaza de Mayo. Would you mind to ellaborate on why it is needed? Thanks, Ejrrjs | What? 01:30, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, some changes have been taking place since I set the tag, and I'm not sure what was in my mind by that time, but I would say it lacked of formating and ordering. I'll remove the tag. -Mariano 06:46, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

Cordoba revisions
Thanks for the feedback on the Cordoba article, It´s all been taken on board - some of the issues are practicalities - in the school I work we don´'t have English Language spellcheckers and there is only one computer with a very slow internet connection - thus all the articles are written and edited in Word and then copied across to Wikipedia. As regards the style of the article (ie:brochureish instead of encyclopaedic) I will work on this issue next - I will also make sure that by the end of the 'project' the language and facts etc should be perfect... I will also try to work on the format - Where can I find an example of the preferred format for city articles - there seems to be some variation (having looked at BsAs, Rosario, Mendoza, Formosa, La Plata and Bariloche) - Any further comments will be welcomed, thanks --Speakers 19:11, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

And now for something completely different: CGT
Far from me the wish of being hinchabolas, but why did you also added the cleanup tag to CGTRA?.

Best, Ejrrjs | What? 18:35, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I think this article does need cleaning up. I've done quite some after reading your message, but I'm not really into politics and lack of some knowledge to properly do it. The English was (probably still is) kinda poor, and there are lots of things that stay unexplained. It would be good if someone with knowledge on the subject tryed to fix it a little bit. -Mariano 08:16, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Commons upload
Hola Mariano! I have a question about uploading files to Commons (as you've been doing and suggesting). I've been getting good data on Argentine trees from an old book I found but I'm not sure if I can scan the pictures and, if so, how to tag them for upload. The book is a 1975 edition by Celulosa S. A., apparently one of those free (as in gift to some) industrial publications, and it does not have even a copyright notice, or "todos los derechos reservados", nothing. The legal issue is not too well explained in the Commons site and I'm not sure where to find help there. Can you help me? --Pablo D. Flores 18:50, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * That's a tough one. As a matter of fact, English Wikipedia and Commons: don't have the same policy.
 * Even if there's no copyright notice, you can not assume there is none. The only solution I see is that you try to contact someone at Celulosa S. A. (which might be hard 30 after years) and ask them for permission. See for instance this image is copyrighted by the Subsecretaria de Turismo de Misiones, which has released under public use by them after the request of an user.
 * English wikipedia allows images like this under the Fair use policy, which aplies in USA (where the servers are located).
 * Now, if you are going to upload them by the Fair use policy, then you cannot do it at Commons. But bear in mind the "amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole" (Amount and substantiality) section.
 * Finally, if you first upload it to EN:, you can always upload it to Commons: when you get the clearence. Yes, we will have the files twice, but "whatcha gonna do". -Mariano 06:33, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * That was pretty much what I thought... The only loophole I could find is Argentine law (surprise, surprise), which says intellectual property rights for photos expires 20 years after their first publication. Thanks a lot! --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 10:29, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Mmm, mama, I like that! Do you have any electronic version of that? We can make our own nice 20-year-old-argentine-peekchers template to sign them and don't get deletion requests. -Mariano 10:50, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Ley 11.723 de Propiedad intelectual. Not the best written law on Earth to be sure, but it says clearly: Para las obras fotográficas la duración del derecho de propiedad es de 20 años desde la primera publicación. The book has a "Registro de Propiedad Intelectual: en trámite" in the back, and an attribution to the photographer, only a "thank you for your collaboration". The photos have no copyright notices anywhere near them. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 12:58, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Regarding Riquelme in Argentinos only during inferiores, I think there are a few others in that situation, at least Fabricio Coloccini with San Lorenzo; he moved to Boca before debuting. -Mariano 07:09, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, Fabricio did the inferiores in Boca, we was sold to AC Milan because his father threatened to invoke Patria Potestad and take him for free otherwise, and AC Milan sent him back to San Lorenzo when they didn't find space for him. ;) (Big Boca fan, as you can see) hehe
 * --Sebastian Kessel 15:49, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, actually he DID play ONE MATCH for Boca; the last one of the Clausura 1999,. Also a BIG FAN! :o)   -Mariano 06:19, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Viva la Argentina!
Hola Mariano! Lately I have been writing a LOT of articles that have to do with Argentina, this because I have become a SUPERFANATIC of Telefe's programming, this through their satellite network, "Telefe Internacional". What's funny, I got DirecTV to watch Televicentro Puerto Rico's shows, and I barely even watch my own country's shows, preferring Argentine ones instead..lol

Anyways, here are two links : Chiquititas, which will lead you to many, many more articles about Argentines I've made, and the article I made today, Buena Fortuna. Check them out, I hope you like them!

By the way, I want to ask you. I was always used to say Argentine or Argentino, but here they insist on Argentinian..which is the correct way to address you?

Thank you my hermano Latino and God bless you! I hope to hear from you soon!

Sincerely yours, your friend, Antonio Susana Gimenez's boyf...ehem, I wish! Martin

Arturo Frondizi and Conicet articles feedback
Hi, I've checked you edited the articles I've been working, most notably CONICET and Arturo Frondizi. Many thanks for spending some time in reviewing these articles, it proved to be a necessary help as a I'm an inexperienced wikipedian. You mention that the article about Arturo Frondizi is biased since it focus various times on what his supporters say. Well, the article is focus to discuss the successes and the failures of Frondizi's administration. Due to a essay limitation (which is discussed in the article) the ammount of references is limited. I believe that the article is as impartial as possible, taking into account it's format previously mentioned. Of course I plan to expand it in the future to contain more sections (such as politics, etc) as well as more references. I would appreciate if you could quote which fragments you consider biased so I could rewrite them. The phrase to which apparently you make reference "His supporters claim that his presidency allowed Argentina to survive 30 more years of military and Peronista rule without a total economic collapse.", present in the introduction of the article, was previusly there (I did not write it), and I agree with you, that it's a clearly biased statement, so I removed it. Oh, and finally, there is no copyright material in the article, the essay is based on previous work by myself. If you think there is, please tell me. Thanks again, --Nabu 23:45, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Bevern, Lower Saxony

Bevern is a municipality in the District of Holzminden, Lower Saxony, Germany. It is the administrative seat of the Samtgemeinde ("collective municipality") of Bevern.

Bevern lies on the Weser river near its confluence with the Beverbach tributary, located between the Burgberg, Solling and Vogler hill ranges of the Weser Uplands. The municipal area comprises the villages of Bevern proper, Forst, Dölme, Lobach, Lütgenade, and Reileifzen.

The Saxon settlement of Byueran was first mentioned in a register of Corvey Abbey in 822. The construction of a church was documented in 1501; it was consecrated by the Cologne archbishop Hermann IV of Hesse in 1506. The community is chiefly known for Bevern Castle (Schloss Bevern), a Renaissance palace built as a manor house from 1603 to 1612. Purchased by the Welf dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg during the Thirty Years' War in 1633, the building served as the residence of a cadet line, known as Brunswick-Bevern, from 1667 until the late 18th century.

The town of Guzhen is bordered by Jiangmen to the West, with the Xi river serving as a boundary. The Xi river forms part of the Pearl River. Foshan borders Guzhen to the north.

Lighting industry
Dubbed the "Lighting Capital of China" by the China Light Industry Council and China Association of Lighting Industry, Guzhen is the largest production base of lighting fittings in China and one of the four largest lighting fitting distributing centers in the world. In 2001, lighting fittings produced in Guzhen made up 60% of the Chinese market with exports reaching $1 billion. The production of lighting fittings is the primary industry in Guzhen, accounting for nearly 88% of the town's industrial output.

The development of the lighting fittings industry in Guzhen can be traced back to the late 1970s, however, the first significant developments took place from the mid-1980s to early 1990s. Due to the rapid economic development of China, Guzhen's lighting fittings industry has undergone unprecedented growth in the past two decades.

Guzhen's growth at the turn of the millennium was unprecedented, boasting a 50% increase in lighting enterprises from 1999 to 2001, with exports increasing from $40 million to $250 million. In the year 2013, total exports for lighting items from Guzhen Town exceeded $1 billion, as per unofficial sources.

While Guzhen now primarily produces non-branded OEM goods for international companies, it has spawned some domestic players in the industry, such as: Huayi, Opple lighting, Senqiu, and BECO Lights.

Plasmarl

Plasmarl, or Plas-Marl, is a suburban district and historically a village of the City and County of Swansea, Wales. It falls within the old Copper Quarter of Landore electoral ward.

Location
Plasmarl is centered on the A4067 road, which connects Swansea with the M4 motorway. The A4067, called Ffordd Cwm Tawe in the area, is a bypass to the older Neath Road (B4603), running parallel to it. The area to the west of Neath Road is mostly residential. The eastern side of Neath Road is lined with a number of major car dealerships. The area further east of the A4067, along Beaufort Road consists of an estate of light industry, warehousing and commercial units.

Buildings
Grade II listed buildings in Plasmarl include:
 * St. Paul's Parish Church on Cwm Level Road
 * Dinas Noddfa Baptist Chapel on Dinas Street
 * Ebenezer Baptist Church & Hall on Ebenezer Street

Education
Plasmarl has a local primary school, Plasmarl Primary School, located on Britannia Road. The school, built in 1879, was originally a separate school for boys, girls, and infants, however is now mixed. In the 2019 rankings by the Welsh government the school was placed in the highest bracket, green. The school currently has just under 200 pupils.

Sport in Plasmarl
Plasmarl is also home to Landore Bowls Stadium. Plasmarl is close to the Swansea.com Stadium, which is used by Swansea City A.F.C. and Ospreys.

Cwm Level Park
Cwm Level Park is a near-by park between Plasmarl and neighbouring areas Brynhyfryd and Landore.

The park is the official ground for the association football club Cwmfelin Press A.F.C. The park also has a playplace where young children can play. Several benches are also located around the park, providing a view of the park and the on-looking road. The park is also less than half a mile in distance from the major sports ground, the Liberty Stadium.

Llewelyn Park
Llewelyn Park lies just north of Plasmarl, on land donated by John Dillwyn Llewelyn to the city along with money to develop the park in 1874.

Racing
The A4067 (parallel to Neath road) is frequently used for illegal street racing. The cars and motorcycles meet at the nearby football field to organise events. Motorbike races are more common in the area and generally take place throughout the day, whereas cars commonly race at night with reduced traffic. The spot is popular due to it being central in a stretch of three dual carriageways which allows for easy escape in the case of a police chase. A fatal crash took place in June 2008.

Corset piercing

A corset piercing is a body piercing that consists of multiple piercings in rows, usually on the back, with ribbon or string laced through to mimic the appearance of a corset. Two rows of bilaterally symmetrical piercings are performed and can be composed of as few as four piercings (two in each row) or as many as the length of the area being pierced and the vertical space between piercings will allow space for. Due to the difficulty and risks associated with permanently healing single surface piercings, most corset piercings are intended to be temporary.

As temporary piercings
Temporary corset piercings are often performed for aesthetic reasons, often as part of a fetish event or photo shoot. Body piercers may also perform a corset piercing to promote their business, to be photographed for a portfolio or to be used for advertising purposes. They may also be performed as play piercings as part of BDSM activity. Often temporary corset piercings are worn laced with ribbon, rope, or chain.

Usually temporary corset piercings use captive bead rings as jewelry, but corset piercings intended as play piercings or as part of a short photo shoot might simply be done with hypodermic needles, which will be removed after the activity is finished.

Rarely worn for more than a week, corset piercings are typically worn only for a few hours or until the event or activity they were required for has ended. Temporary corset piercings are open wounds, and are subject to the same infection, cross contamination, and irritation risks as any other healing piercing or small wound. Scarring from the removal of temporary piercings is usually minimal or non-existent.

As permanent piercings
It is possible for the multiple surface wounds that constitute a corset piercing to heal; however, they are unlikely to heal properly. Permanent corset piercings would consist of multiple surface piercings, pierced with jewelry designed for the purpose, and bear all of the healing issues and risks associated with them. To date, the most successful attempts at permanent corset piercings have been performed with surface bars, although some success has been reported using Teflon or Tygon tubing, both of which are flexible and move with the body. There have also been experiments in healing corset piercings as transdermal implants.

Due to the tremendous potential for the healing piercings to be irritated by normal daily life, corset piercings, even healed ones, require constant vigilance by the wearer to prevent damage.

Although corset piercings are usually intended to be laced, during the healing period, especially the initial healing period, surface piercings intended to be part of permanent corset piercings are not usually laced as it puts pressure, torsion, and tension on the piercing that can increase the chances of migration and rejection. Once the piercing is fully healed, one of the beads at the end of the surface bar can be replaced with a special bead, drilled to accept a ring, similar to the bead on a bondage bar. The healed surface piercings can then be laced for aesthetic purposes, although subjecting the piercings to extended periods of lacing can increase the risk of migration or rejection.

Healing and aftercare for corset piercings is identical to healing for any surface piercings, although the healing process can be extended and complicated due to the number of piercings healing at the same time, which puts greater stress on the body. The location of most corset piercings, on the individual's back, can make caring for the healing piercings more difficult as well. Like all surface piercings, rejected or improperly healed corset piercings can leave noticeable permanent scarring.

History and culture
Although corsetry has a long history, the corset piercing is of contemporary origin, coming into practice with the establishment of the body piercing industry in the late 1990s. Like corsetry, it is associated with erotic behavior and aesthetics, particularly fetish aesthetics. Also paralleling corsets, most wearers of corset piercings are women.

There is some controversy regarding the publication and promotion of images of corset piercing. Almost all of the photographs of corset piercing are of fresh piercings, which have not had the time to reject, migrate or otherwise fail to heal properly. Images used in advertising or magazines may be photoshopped or airbrushed to eliminate indications of swelling, redness, or infection, further promoting the illusion that these piercings are easy, or even possible to heal. Photographs of corset piercings done with captive bead rings, which are inappropriate for permanent corset piercings, vastly outnumber photographs of corset piercings done as proper surface piercings. Usually corset piercings are photographed laced, also leading the public to believe that they can be worn laced at all times, which is not possible, even in a well healed, permanent corset piercing.
