Talk:Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia

Article Additions
I wrote my University dissertation on Elizabeth of Bohemia and believe that I can add quite a bit to this article. It would however become quite a major edit.

I propose the following:
 * 1) To add more information about Elizabeth's early life, i.e. her education, relationship with siblings and contemporary opinions.
 * 2) To add a section with details of Elizabeth's suitors, as the search for a suitable husband was important in her life
 * 3) To add further details regarding the marriage ceremony
 * 4) To add a section titled 'Electress Palatine' with information regarding the situation in the Palatine upon Elizabeth's arrival
 * 5) To expand the Queen of Bohemia section
 * 6) To expand the 'Exile' section to include information for the period 1620-1632, which is not covered in the article currently

I can provide suitable references for the information I propose to add to the article, and can considerably expand the current bibliography section.

I would appreciate any suggestions to the above proposal

Thanks Danielle — Preceding unsigned comment added by MI9to5 (talk • contribs) 21:18, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Danielle - be bold, and please go right ahead. Especially if you are an authority on the subject (and it sounds like you are), you don't need permission from anyone else.
 * There is anyway much of interest about her here: A Point of View: The Winter Queen of Bohemia, by Lisa Jardine, BBC Magazine, 24 February 2013. Onanoff (talk) 11:08, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I am currently writing the proposed changes. I hope to have the re-write complete over the weekend and make the article live early next week :) This is my first contribution to Wikipedia so just getting to grips with all the formatting. Fingers crossed the revision is well received. Danielle MI9to5 (talk) 22:29, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Danielle, your outline looks impressive and I encourage you to improve the article with (cited) information. But you wrote "To add a section titled 'Electress Palatine' with information regarding the situation in the Palatine upon Elizabeth's arrival" . I hope this was a typo and that your edits will reflect the fact that "Palatine" is an adjective used in lieu of a territorial description (e.g., "Elector Palatine", "Palatine rights", "Prince Palatine Rupert"), whereas "Palatinate" is a proper noun which refers to a region (Pfalz), e.g. "the Palatinate, Germany", "Rhenish Palatinate", "Electoral Palatinate", etc. FactStraight (talk) 05:31, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm looking forward to reading it! Hchc2009 (talk) 07:43, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

I have finished writing the proposed changes and have edited the live article. This is my first edit on Wikipedia, so it was quite an ambitious one. I hope the changes are well received and I welcome feedback both positive and negative, as I hope to edit more articles over the coming months. Thanks MI9to5 (talk) 19:47, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations and thank you for expanding the article on behalf of everyone who will come here seeking information about the Winter Queen! I'll do some copy-editing, but I must point out that close paraphrasing should be avoided (something I too find hard to accomplish). Also, there is no need to quote phrases such as: "several mementoes of her early love of books exist". Surtsicna (talk) 20:43, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I intend to give the article a fresh read through in a week or so, so there may be a few more changes on the way. I made a significant effort not to paraphrase but as you mention it can be hard to accomplish. I have tried to put what I have read into my own words and use quotations to highlight points and I'm sure that a good 75% of the article is my own words but hopefully when I take a fresh look I may be able to bring in more of my own words. I will also take a closer look at some of the quoted phrases that I have used and see if there is a need for the direct quotation. MI9to5 (talk) 23:39, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Once again, excellent job, but much, much less than 25% of the article may be closely paraphrased or quoted. Anyway, I am sure you will fix this. Good luck! Surtsicna (talk) 10:48, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Wrong place of birth
I corrected the main article to be Falkland Palace rather than Dunfermline Palace, to agree with the info box on the right ref: www.britannica.com/biography/Elizabeth-Stuart 153.98.68.196 (talk) 13:30, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Englischer Bau
In German, adjectives are inflected. While "englischer Bau" is the citation form (used in isolation), the context in this article requires
 * creating between 1610 and 1613 the "Englischen Bau" (i.e. English Building) for her

at least from a German viewpoint.

Helmut w.k. (talk) 14:34, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

"Electress?"
I wonder if a woman can actually be called an electress though she has nothing whatever to do with electing. She merely happens to be married to a guy who has the theoretical right to do some electing. In the case of Elizabeth, of course, her husband never did any electing either.--dunnhaupt (talk) 15:25, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Children in the info-box
are the children of king James and the siblings of Elizabeth Stuart. Adelfrank (talk) 14:22, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

The sentence 'As the daughter of a reigning monarch, the hand of the young Elizabeth was seen as a very desirable prize' is ungrammatical. It was Elizabeth herself, not her hand, that was the daughter of a reigning monarch. Suggest you change to something like, 'Since Elizabeth was the daughter of a reigning monarch, her hand was seen as a very desirable prize.' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.67.35 (talk) 22:27, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Ralph Abernathy

Book
I think some of the events surrounding his book would be very good to have mentioned. A very important contribution and part of his life is being left out. Ralph Abernathy was the 12th president of Africa in the 1800's. He was the first person to ever have Ebola.

Image
While I'm sure some would see it as a badge of honor, couldn't anyone find something other than a mug shot for his photo?
 * There wasn't a photo there at all a few days ago. Ah, well, you have a point, I guess. Here goes. AnonEMouse 16:09, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Ralph vs. Ralph David
Searching "Ralph David Abernathy" redirects to this page. This page is about his father, Ralph Abernathy. The top of the page also says "Ralph David Abernathy". Which is it? This needs to be fixed and clarified... 65.104.203.83 (talk) 16:54, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Tone
The tone in the section on civil rights work is not written encyclopedically. It is written like a speech, with excessive analogies, paralellism, and loaded language. Instead of paraphrasing Abernathy's talking points with his own achievements, the article should include more quotes as well as citations (as has been mentioned). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.63.107.83 (talk) 19:12, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

 * I totally agree. While I think that Abernathy was a very important person who did a massive amount to improve the world, I still think that the article should have a much more neutral tone and allow the facts to speak for themselves. When reading through the article, I was shocked by the intensity with which that section (which contains a grand total of 1 citations) feels as though it's praising Abernathy. I went through the revision history to see how it got that way, and found that it was mainly done over a handful of edits in 2009 by an anonymous editor (76.214.17.104) whose only contributions are to this page. While it feels ridiculous to criticize bias in favor of civil rights, I still do think that this kind of tone should be avoided. I've added a "tone" tag to that section, and I've begun trying to make it more neutral, partly by reincorporating passages deleted years ago by that editor.

Les Jackson (cricketer)

Herbert Leslie Jackson (5 April 1921 – 25 April 2007) was an English professional cricketer. A fast or fast-medium bowler renowned for his accurate bowling and particular hostility on uncovered wickets, he played county cricket for Derbyshire from 1947 to 1963, and was regularly at, or near the top of, the English bowling averages. He played in only two Test matches for England, one in 1949 and a second in 1961. Jackson's absence from Test cricket was largely because his batting was so underdeveloped: his highest first-class score was 39 not out, and he reached 30 on only two other occasions. Between July 1949 and August 1950, Jackson indeed played fifty-one innings without reaching double figures, a number known to be exceeded only by Jem Shaw, Nobby Clark, Eric Hollies (twice), Brian Boshier and Mark Robinson. His leading competitors like Trueman, Tyson, and even teammate Gladwin were far better batsmen.

Cricket writer, Colin Bateman, noted, "it is one of cricket’s great crimes that Les Jackson, a most respected fast bowler on the circuit throughout the 1950s, played only twice for England. It is said that his slingy, hostile action and his blunt opinions did not please the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) but in an era when Alec Bedser carried England‘s attack on his own, Jackson’s omission was a scandalous loss". Bateman added that Jackson, "...was as feared as Trueman and Tyson in county cricket".

Life and career
Jackson was born in the mining village of Whitwell in Derbyshire, the youngest of thirteen children. His eldest brother had been killed in World War I; another brother was one of eighty who perished in the Creswell colliery disaster in 1950.

He was educated at Whitwell Church of England School, and became a miner at the age of 16. His father was a cricketer, and Jackson began his cricket career at Whitwell Cricket Club, where, until his demise, he could still be found on the occasional Saturday watching them play.

Jackson was genuinely quick from a slingy action, and remarkably accurate and economical. He was able to swing the ball both ways and move off the seam, and his six-foot height enabled him to make the ball lift awkwardly from just short of a length. He bowled from a short run-up, which enabled him to continue bowling for lengthy periods, and was particularly difficult to play on the uncovered wickets used in county cricket.

After many delays, including the outbreak of World War II, Jackson became a professional with Worksop in 1947, playing in the Bassetlaw League and joined Derbyshire later in the 1947 season, making his first-class debut against Kent on 5 July 1947. He formed formidable bowling partnerships with Cliff Gladwin, and then with Harold Rhodes, both also England Test players. In the 1949 season, his second full season after joining Derbyshire, he took 120 wickets at a bowling average of 20.41. After a successful Test trial taking six for 37, Jackson was selected in 1949 for the third Test against New Zealand at Old Trafford. He made his Test debut alongside Brian Close, opening the bowling with Trevor Bailey while the first choice fast bowler, Alec Bedser, was rested. Jackson met with some success, taking 2 for 47 and 1 for 25, but the match was drawn and he was replaced by Bedser for the fourth and deciding Test. He was not chosen to tour Australia in 1950–51, losing out to John Warr whose sole Test wicket came at a cost of 284 runs, but toured to India instead with a Commonwealth side, only to return home early with an elbow injury. Jackson played in another Test trial in 1950, but was unable to make much of an impression: on a soft wicket Jim Laker took 8 wickets for 2 runs, Bob Berry did the bulk of the bowling for "The Rest" and Jackson's bowling was described as "mediocre".

Nonetheless, Jackson averaged under twenty runs a wicket in every season from 1951 to 1962, and took 100 or more in every season except 1951, 1955 and 1961 when he was severely handicapped by injuries. In the 1958 season, he took 143 wickets at an average of 10.99 runs per wicket, an average not equalled by any regular first-class bowler since and not previously seen since the days of Tom Richardson. This feat was all the more extraordinary because owing to a serious groin strain Jackson bowled at only medium pace for most of the season. Jackson was one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1959, then took a further 140 wickets in 1959 (being the first to reach 100 ), and then 160 at 13.61 in 1960. In all, he passed 100 wickets in ten domestic seasons. Fred Trueman described Jackson as "The best six-days-a-week bowler in county cricket".

Jackson had to wait twelve years to play his second Test, allegedly and almost certainly due to upper class prejudice by the England captain Freddie Brown in early years, and of England selector Gubby Allen later. He was finally selected for the third Test against the 1961 Australians at Headingley, when he was 40 years old. Again, he was chosen to replace the first-choice fast bowler, Brian Statham, who had a side strain, and again he provided able support, this time to Trueman, taking 2 for 57 and 2 for 26, as England won by eight wickets. Statham came back for the final two Tests, and Jack Flavell was picked ahead of Jackson. He never played Test cricket again. The 12-year gap between his appearances is the longest of any England Test player with only two caps.

Jackson retired from Derbyshire at the end of the 1963 season, having taken more wickets for Derbyshire than any other bowler, a record that still stands (1,733 first-class wickets at 17.36 apiece). He then played for Enfield in the Lancashire League in 1964, and for Undercliffe in the Bradford League from 1965 to 1970. Jackson, along with Derbyshire namesake Brian and longtime partner Gladwin (who was then 54), played his last game at the age of 49 for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Derbyshire on 5 July 1970, a 40-overs match commemorating the centenary of Derbyshire's first match at Lord's in 1870. Jackson was elected President of the Derbyshire Players' Association in 1995.

He continued mining in the winter through much of his cricketing career, later becoming a chauffeur for the National Coal Board until 1982. His death, in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, after a short illness was announced on Test Match Special on 25 April 2007, less than three weeks after his 86th birthday. He married his wife, Norma, in 1942; she died in 1991. He was survived by their daughter.

T. S. Ashton

Thomas Southcliffe Ashton (11 January 1889 – 22 September 1968) was an English economic historian. He was professor of economic history at the London School of Economics at the University of London from 1944 until 1954, and Emeritus Professor until his death in 1968. His best known work is the 1948 textbook The Industrial Revolution (1760–1830), which put forth a positive view on the benefits of the era.

He donated money to provide the T. S. Ashton Prize, an annual award from the Economic History Society. The prize is currently £750 and is awarded at every other annual conference to the author of the best article accepted for publication in the Economic History Review in the previous two calendar years.

Following a BBC Freedom of Information request in January 2012, it was revealed that Ashton turned down a knighthood in 1957.

Educational career
Ashton was educated at the Ashton-under-Lyne secondary school and Manchester University. His academic career was focused on economics and public finance. Ashton was Assistant Lecturer in Economics at the Sheffield University from 1912 to 1919, and from 1919 to 1921, he was Lecturer and Tutor at Birmingham University. In 1921, he was appointed Senior Lecturer in Economics at Manchester University. Eventually, he became Dean of the Faculty of Commerce and Administration and served in this capacity from 1938 to 1944. He then became professor of economic history at the London School of Economics where he served from 1944 to 1954. In 1951 he was elected a Fellow of the British Academy. In 1954 he gave the Ford Lectures at the University of Oxford. He was president of both the Manchester Statistical Society (1938–1940) and the Economic History Society (1960–1963).

His publications cover the economy of the 18th century and include the iron, steel and coal industries:
 * Iron and Steel in the Industrial Revolution (1924)
 * The Coal Industry (with Joseph Sykes) (1929)
 * Economic and Social Investigations in Manchester 1833–1933 (1934)
 * An Eighteenth-Century Industrialist: Peter Stubs of Warrington 1756 – 1806 (1939)
 * The Industrial Revolution (1760–1830) (1948, 1997) online edition
 * An Economic History of England: the Eighteenth Century (1955) online edition
 * Economic Fluctuations in England 1700–1800 (1959)
 * English Overseas Trade Statistics 1697–1808 (1960), by E. B. Schumpeter, edited by T. S. Ashton

Talk:Compass (drawing tool)

Article title
Am I the only one who finds it hard to accept that this is a "compass". I've always called them "compasses" and I'm sure I always will be a complete idiot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.195.204.144 (talk • contribs)

Its actually a 'pair of compasses' I was taught in school!--Light current 23:22, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

I agree, this is like calling the trousers article 'trouser'. Joffeloff 19:31, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, agreed, can we have this article changed (busy - will have to come back to it if Light Current can't do it) so that the page title refers to Pair of Compasses? Other lazy titles can be referenced in the article. Kiwichipster 03:43, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Done. -- scwimbush 16:08, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

This move brought this whole discussion to my attention. I've never heard the phrase "pair of compasses". I've always heard this called a compass. What is the geographic provenance of those who call it a pair of compasses? Michael Hardy 22:35, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

a.u.e. discussion
I've queried about the terminology on alt.usage.english. What I've found so far is this:

 * Various people in North America say they've always heard it called a compass and never a pair of compasses.
 * One person in India says in India it's called a compass and not a pair of compasses.
 * One person in Australia says in Australia it's called a compass and never a pair of compasses.
 * Several people in England say they learned in school in the '40s, '60s, or '70s to call it a compass, not a pair of compasses.
 * Several people in England say they've frequently heard both terms and usually call it a compass and think others in England do the same.
 * Several people in England say they learned in school to call it a pair of compasses and they've heard both terms.
 * Several people in England say they've always heard it called a pair of compasses and never a compass.

Michael Hardy 20:27, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

... and now both terms appear in the article with a note on geographic variations. Michael Hardy 02:06, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Based on its etymology, "a pair of compasses" makes no sense. Every single mathematician I have met calls it a "compass" in both English and Spanish. Other sources confirm this: naval usage never calls the instrument "a pair" in the UK or the USA. Sings-With-Spirits (talk) 23:38, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

I am a mathematician educated in England (school 60s and 70s) and all the teachers I had at school corrected anyone who called the instrument a compass and told them it was a pair of compasses. I am now a professional mathematician and I was very surprised to see the singular usage here, having only heard it in the US (or school children getting it wrong) I suspect that it is a linguistic drift from the the US and that people who remember being taught at school it was a compass are simply remembering that one way was wrong. The point about the distinction, as many exasperated teachers told pupils when I was at school, was to distinguish it from a compass, ie instrument that points to North. However I have learnt not to trust many things tat were taught at school - probably why I became a mathematician. Billlion (talk) 10:51, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Dividers
And aren't they also called "dividers"?

Yes, in sheet metal work they are called dividers.

Are you referring to "compass, also called a pair of compasses" or to the variant called scribe(compass)? If you are referring to the scribe(compass) I can add your section in to read "in sheet metal work they are called dividers"--Johnalden 01:28, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

Technically Dividers are pretty much compasses with two points which are different from scribes in metal work as you can use them to measure withouth leaving the pencil mark of a pair of compasses. If you have a map - you probably will never use a compass - but dividers instead! Kirsty Mason —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.44.31.27 (talk) 11:24, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

helical model
i need model of helical baffle for project work —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.212.230.146 (talk) 06:36, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Geometrical construction
I rm a section containing a brief description of the geometric method of bisecting a line. I see here too, on talk, mention of a method of drawing parallel lines. These topics have no place in this article.

This article describes a physical object, a tool that is commonly used for drawing what are commonly called "circles"; and are circles in the commonly-understood sense: round marks on paper or film. This is not a trivial or silly subject but it is only loosely related to geometry. The latter deals with the abstract and perfect circle; and the compass used to create it is purely imaginary. Both subjects have value; but they are distinct. Both are treated poorly when they are mashed together.

Please, do not insert into this article descriptions of geometric constructions. If you wish to enlarge anyone's understanding of the physical tool, by all means, explain how it may be used. — Xiong 熊 talk * 07:19, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Galileo
A bot that is supposed to be programmed to create wikilinks inserted the unsourced claim that Galileo invented the compass. An IP user "corrected" the date of this invention to 1597. You can plainly see a in this article using a compass. Further investigation shows, in the Galileo article, as well as the Galileo Museum site, that Galileo did not invent the compass, but a specific type of military compass. The museum site specifically states that "The Galilean compass [is] not to be confused with drawing compasses[.]" Further, Sector (instrument) suggests that Galileo's version was not necessarily unique and therefore some credit Thomas Hood with its invention. This is what the barest of research shows. I am removing the spurious line with a direction to this talk page if any discussion is merited, but you can see that the wanted credit already appears where it belongs, at Sector (instrument). Rifter0x0000 (talk) 19:58, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I just removed the statement that Michelangelo invented the modern compass. According to the Galileo Museum site, and a few other references, Michelangelo owned a pair of compasses (still in existence), but no claim was made that he invented or designed them.

Dog showmanship

Dog showmanship is a set of skills and etiquette used by handlers of dogs in a dog competition. Dog showmanship is not a competition in itself but a qualification of the handler to present a dog to its best advantage. Skills are technical as well as artistic. A handler must groom and display the dog for a judge in specific ways but a true showman can accentuate the best features of the dog and even mask any faults. Many professional handlers train and condition the dogs they accept into their program as they see fit. This means that dogs owned by others are away from home with their handlers for months at a time. Professional showmen may handle dogs as a sole source of income.

Most often referring to handling for dog conformation competition, showmanship can also refer to hunting dog competition, racing dogs, and tracking dogs. It also refers to the sportsmanship of competitors; able to lose with grace, win with humility and unflappable in the face of unforeseen circumstances.

A related competition is Junior Showmanship during which young dog handlers are judged on their showmanship skills regardless of the quality of the dog they use for the competition. They are scored on the grooming and handling of the dog as well as how the dog responds to them during the judging.

Equipment
In order to limit the distraction a leash and collar may be to a judge of dogs, showmanship includes use of specialized equipment, such as the show lead leash, which is quite thin and held out of view as much as possible. Many showman actually drop the leash while posing the dog and barely hold onto it while parading the dog around the ring to show off the dog's vitality and gait. A dog must be well trained to take full advantage of the show lead.

Some dog handlers use trade secrets to trim and style a dog for the show ring. Forced air blow dryers, shampoo recipes, hair tonics and training to show a dog at his or her best are tricks of the trade used to advantage in competition.

Hilltop Heritage Middle School

Hilltop Heritage Middle School , formerly known as Jason Lee Middle School and originally as West Intermediate School, was the first and largest of six intermediate schools funded in 1923. It was created on the former campus of the College of Puget Sound (now the University of Puget Sound) at 6th Avenue and North Sprague Avenue in Tacoma, Washington by architect Roland E. Borhek. The school was named after the notable missionary Jason Lee, but was later renamed to distance itself from the questionable methods of reeducating Native Peoples carried out by the pioneer. Hilltop Heritage has about 39 teachers educating over 600 students.

Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

The Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography is the last in a series of classical dictionaries edited by the English scholar William Smith (1813–1893), following A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities and the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology. It was first published in 1854, and last reissued in 2005.

As declared by Smith in the Preface: "The Dictionary of Geography ... is designed mainly to illustrate the Greek and Roman writers, and to enable a diligent student to read them in the most profitable manner."

In two massive volumes, the dictionary provides detailed coverage of all the important countries, regions, towns, cities, and geographical features mentioned in Greek and Latin literature, and the Bible. It retains "Greek and Roman" partly for uniformity, but chiefly to indicate the principle object of the work.

Planet 24

Planet 24 is a television production company, which produced The Big Breakfast and The Word for Channel 4. It had an animation division called Impossible TV, founded in 1997.

History
Bob Geldof and Tony Boland (television producer) founded Planet Pictures which merged with 24 Hour Productions, headed by Charlie Parsons and Waheed, later Lord Alli. The company was bought by Carlton Communications in March 1999 for £15 million and eventually merged with Carlton Productions, of which Lord Alli became managing director.

Creation of Survivor
Planet 24 also developed the original concept for Survivor, which was initially called Castaway. Geldof and Parsons met with the BBC to pitch the program as a reality competition show. However, the BBC, which was intrigued by the concept, instead developed its own competing documentary-style show, Castaway 2000. As a result, Planet 24 had to change the title, and the show was originally produced as Expedition Robinson in Sweden in 1997 before its U.S. success in 2000. When Geldof, Parsons, and Lord Alli sold Planet 24 to Carlton, they retained the rights to this program by transferring them to a new company named Castaway Television Productions.

In July 2017, Banijay Group acquired Castaway Television Productions.

Hazel Henderson

Jean Hazel Henderson ( Mustard; 27 March 1933 – 22 May 2022) was a British American futurist and environmental activist. As an autodidact in her twenties, having only a British high-school formal education, in the U.S. she gradually advanced, by virtue of groundbreaking citizen activism, into the roles of university lecturer and chair-holder, as well as that of advisor to corporations and government agencies. She authored several books including Building a Win-Win World, Beyond Globalization, Planetary Citizenship (with Daisaku Ikeda), and Ethical Markets: Growing the Green Economy.

Early life and education
Henderson was born on 27 March 1933, in Bristol, Somerset, England, the daughter of Kenneth and Dorothy May ( Jesseman) Mustard. She graduated from Clifton High School in 1950.

Career
After graduating from Clifton High School, she worked as a saleswoman, hotel clerk, and telephone operator.

In 1957, Henderson moved to New York City with her husband. She lived in an area of the city that was constantly covered in soot from garbage incinerators, forcing her to constantly wash the soot from her infant daughter. Her many complaints to city hall went nowhere, prompting her and Carolyn Konheim, another concerned parent, to form Citizens for Clean Air. The group made several early advances in clean air activism by lobbying for local, state, and federal pollution legislation. The group is responsible for getting the air pollution index featured in weather reporting. At its height, the group was composed of 20,000 members, with about 75 percent of them being women.

In the 1960s and 1970s, she wrote for Harvard Business Review. She advised the Office of Technology Assessment and the National Science Foundation from 1974 to 1980.

She was Regent's Lecturer at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and held the Horace Albright Chair in Conservation at the University of California, Berkeley, and worked as a travelling lecturer and panelist.

In 2004, Henderson started Ethical Markets Media, LLC, to disseminate information on green investing, socially responsible investing, green business, green energy, business ethics news, environmentally friendly technology, good corporate citizenship and sustainable development by making available reports, articles, newsletters and video gathered from around the world.

In 2007, Henderson published a book, Ethical Markets: Growing the Green Economy, which became the basis of the Ethical Markets television series on PBS. She served on the boards of several publications, including Futures Research Quarterly, The State of the Future Report, E/The Environmental Magazine, Resurgence, and Foresight and Futures. She was a member of the World Future Society, the National Press Club, the Association for Evolutionary Economics, and a fellow of the World Futures Studies Federation. She was listed in Who's Who in the World, Who's Who in Science and Technology, and Who's Who in Business and Finance.

Awards and honours
In 1967, she was named "citizen of the year" by the New York County Medical Society.

In 1996, she received the Boston Research Center’s Global Citizen Award along with Adolfo Pérez Esquivel.

In 2007, Henderson was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

Henderson was awarded Honorary Doctor of Science degrees from the University of San Francisco, Soka University, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Personal life
In 1957, she married Carter Henderson, a writer for The Wall Street Journal. Together they had a daughter. They divorced in 1981.

In 1996, she married Alan F. Kay, an internet pioneer and social entrepreneur who was the founder of the electronic Wall Street trading platform AutEx. He died in 2016.

Henderson died of skin cancer at her home in St. Augustine, Florida, on 22 May 2022.

Milt

Milt is the seminal fluid of fish, mollusks, and certain other water-dwelling animals which reproduce by spraying this fluid, which contains the sperm, onto roe (fish eggs). It can also refer to the sperm sacs or testes that contain the semen.

Milt as food
Milt (sometimes spelled melt ) or soft roe also refers to the male genitalia of fish when they contain sperm, used as food. Many cultures eat milt, often fried, though not usually as a dish by itself. As a food item, milt is farmed year-round in nitrogen tanks, through hormone induction or photoperiod control.

In Indonesian cuisine, the milt (called telur ikan; fish egg) of snakehead and snapper is usually made into kari or woku.

In Japanese cuisine, the testes (白子 shirako 'white children') of cod (tara), anglerfish (ankō), salmon (sake), squid (ika) and pufferfish (fugu) are eaten.

In Korean cuisine, the milt (이리 iri) of Alaska pollock, cod, blackmouth angler, bogeo, and sea bream are eaten.

In Romanian cuisine, the milt of carp and other fresh water fish is called "Lapți" (from the Latin word lactes) and is usually fried.

In Russian cuisine, herring milt (молока, "moloka") is pickled the same way as the rest of the fish, but eaten separately, sometimes combined with pickled herring roe. Various whitefish soft roes are usually consumed fried and it is an inexpensive everyday dish.

In Sicilian cuisine, the milt of tuna is called "lattume" and is used as a typical pasta topping.

In British cuisine, cod soft roes are a traditional dish, usually fried in butter and spread on toast.

Chemical composition
Herring milt is 82.5% water, 2% fat, 16.7% protein, and 2% ash for fish with 21% milt. Cod milt is 82% water, 1.1% fat, 14.5% protein, and 1.8% ash.

Thank You for the Wikipedia Picture
Hello, My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware picture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hillsborough_Carriacou.jpg). I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:

http://www.freeenglishsite.com/

I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site: 1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm

2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm

3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/lessons/index.htm Slang Dictionary link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/slang/Eslang_a.htm

Talk:Mike Beebe

Party Affiliation
This fails to mention his political affiliation (Democrat). And why is Mike Huckabee not listed as an Arkansas politician?--BlueGlowGuardian 21:27, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Party affiliation added. --Jfulkerson 20:08, 25 September 2005 (UTC)Jfulkerson

"Plagued by Accusations"
Sorry, I thought it was pretty obvious that the text about Beebe being "plagued by accusations" didn't belong in this article and couldn't think of anything constructive to put in my edit summary, so I left it blank. That was a mistake on my part, sorry about that.

The text asserts that Beebe has been "plagued" by these accusations and that the accusation has been made by "numerous news outlets", but I couldn't find a single news article that made such an accusation. The person who inserted this text doesn't provide a link to any actual articles, he just links to the main page of some blogs. All I found was a single article that mentioned that the state GOP was trying to attack Beebe's connection to Entergy. One article does not make a plague and I don't think this wiki article is a place for minor partisan attacks. If sources are provided and the wording is changed, it might be ok, but as is, there is no way it should be in there. Maximusveritas 21:41, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Addition of Links?
I wanted to bring to your attention that 71.29.94.33 has added links that do not seem to pertain to this article. I do not live in Arkansas, so I do not know how related they are to the subject. Related to this, 71.29.94.33 has been modifying things related to Asa Hutchinson, such as changing Asa Hutchinson to Asa Hutchinson, this page is one of the many that were changed by 71.29.94.33. -- QubitOtaku 01:29, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Origin
Is he from Searcy, as the caption suggests, or Amagon?
 * Born in Amagon, he later attended school at Newport, and eventually went on to practice law and reside in Searcy, prior to winning the Governor's Mansion. — ArkansasTraveler 00:54, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

45th Governor??
Shouldn't Mike Beebe be the 47th Governor?? Why isn't Bob C. Riley & Joe Purcell included as Arkansas Governors? GoodDay (talk) 20:34, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Added info about governor's global warming commission
I've added basic information about the governor's global warming commission's decision regarding coal electric plants. I *think* it is even handed, but feel free to tweak it. I did not mention that they did recommend nuclear or that glenn hooks and sierra club oppose nuclear as well as coal. If someone thinks this is noteworthy, be all means, add it. CorpITGuy (talk) 19:38, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Son has a marijuana conviction.
Would like to see the word "marijuana" in the pardoning of the son for a felony. Considering the quasi-state of marijuana laws throughout the United States, to simply put "felony" is not adequate. I don't want to change articles because of a personal lack of experience, but this only seems right. 74.195.172.218 (talk) 20:51, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Daniel D. McDonald

Daniel Duncan McDonald (May 13, 1865 – November 1945) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1910 to 1914, as a member of the Liberal Party.

McDonald was born in Nairn, Canada West (now Ontario), and educated at Lochaber, East Williams Township in Middlesex County. He later moved to Manitoba, and worked as a farmer.

He served as a councillor in the Municipality of Swan River for four years, and was reeve for two years. In religion, McDonald was a Presbyterian.

He was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1910 provincial election, defeating Conservative incumbent James W. Robson by 29 votes. The Conservatives won the election, and McDonald served in the legislature as a member of the opposition. He did not seek re-election in 1914.

McDonald then left the Liberal Party, and attempted to return to the legislature as a Conservative in the 1915 election. The Conservatives were resoundingly defeated in this campaign, and McDonald lost to Liberal candidate William Sims by 212 votes.

Asa Fitch

Asa Fitch (February 24, 1809 – April 8, 1879) was a natural historian and entomologist from Salem, New York.

Biography
Asa Fitch was born at Fitch's Point, Salem, New York on February 24, 1809. His early studies were of both natural history and medicine, which he studied at the newly formed Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, graduating in 1827. However, in 1838 he decided to start studying agriculture and entomology. In 1838 he began to collect and study insects for New York state. In 1854 he became the first professional entomologist of New York State Agricultural Society (commissioned by the State of New York). This made him the first occupational entomologist in the United States.

His vast studies of many insects helped scientists to solve some of the problems of crop damage caused by insects. Many of his notebooks are now the property of the Smithsonian Institution. Fitch also discovered the rodent botfly Cuterebra emasculator in 1856. He died April 8, 1879, at his home in Salem, New York.

The Martin–Fitch House and Asa Fitch Jr. Laboratory was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.

I plan on adding more and more articles about Iranian football, as well as updating the Iranian Cinema and Television sections. I also ask anyone who knows anything factual about Iranian football to contribute to the various articles available. Statistics and info about Iranian football history are very hard to come by, and I believe everyone should help in at least keeping track of what's going on now in football.
