Peter Byrne (actor)

Peter James Byrne (29 January 1928 – 14 May 2018) was an English actor and director.

He was born in West Ham, Essex; his father was a musician. He was educated at grammar school and trained as an actor at the Italia Conti Stage School. He made his name by playing George Dixon's son-in-law Andy Crawford in the long-running BBC Television serial Dixon of Dock Green for twenty years from 1955. He was Director of Productions for the Bournemouth Theatre Company (1965–66).

Stage appearances included Boeing Boeing, There's a Girl in My Soup, Double Edge, The Unexpected Guest. Films include Reach for the Sky and Carry On Cabby. TV appearances included Mutiny at Spithead, The New Canadians and more than 300 appearances in Dixon of Dock Green. He also made many appearances in pantomime.

In 2005, the Dixon series was revived for BBC Radio Four, but without Byrne, though he commented, "Various people have said the series was a bit cosy and the BBC seemed to be a little ashamed of it," adding that he believed it to be very underrated.

Byrne was married to Renée Helen. He died at the Denville Hall nursing home on 14 May 2018, aged 90.

Talk:Scandinavism

Untitled
I would like a source for this. Is it NE? I think it is, but not sure.

--Fred-Chess 10:08, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, it's mainly from NE.
 * Peter Isotalo 22:18, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Scandinavism and Nordism
I feel that this article tends to confuse Scandinavism with Nordism. One solution to this problem would be to add a section about Nordism and then move the article to "Scandinavism and Nordism". It is also possible to move the article to "Nordism" and then include Scandinavism as a section. What do you think? I can start the work myself but I feel that I need some support. J-C V 21:46, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

 * If Nordism is a separate concept, then it should have a separate article. If they're more or less identical concepts, the most common (Scandinavism) should be the title. The current solution is confusing and I'm moving the article back.
 * What are the Nordism-related changes based on? References are recommended.
 * Peter Isotalo 11:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Ugh... The redirect has been fiddled with after the move. Please move the article back through Requested moves.
 * Peter Isotalo 11:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

 * What I didn't like with the old version of the article was that no difference was made between Nordism and Scandinavism. They are related to each other, but there are differences (the most obvious being that Nordism covers a bigger geographical area). To be honest, I am far from being an expert on this subject but nobody seemed to be willing to take the first step. Now I hope that sombody with greater knowledge can develop this article. J-C V 17:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I haven't heard the term "Nordism" before and I'm pretty sure Scandinavism is the word people will search for. The Nordism aspect can be covered in the article and by a redirect. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 18:26, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Scandinavianism and Nordism is not the same, since the first only applies to the three Scandinavian countries, while Nordism also includes Finland and Iceland (which are not Scandinavian). Nordism is a broader term than Scandinavianism. --Oddeivind (talk) 15:50, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Given that they are not the same a split has been proposed. Chiton (talk) 05:04, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

I support a split into two articles. This article still seems to confuse two different concepts. Scandinavism is a cultural movement that emerged in the 18th century and that focused on e.g. shared (Scandinavian) language and history among the three Scandinavian countries. Nordism (which as a term is less known) refers to modern political cooperation among Nordic countries, not necessarily favouring the Scandinavian languages over e.g. the unrelated Finnish language. --Dijhndis (talk) 16:53, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Concerning alternative name revert
The alternate name Pan-Scandinavianism is not limited to EB. It needs to be mentioned or alternative Wiki articles may appear eventually, requiring new mergers. See examples of modern usage in Iceland: "Although he wrote in Danish and was a passionate believer in Pan-Scandinavianism, the unification of the Nordic Countries into a single state, all his novels are set in Iceland", in Australia and in Finland, as well as in a large variety of scholarly articles such as this, as well as usage in different types of books. Pan-Scandinavianism without the "Pan" is is also used, from time, to time, to time. Pia 02:50, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

 * It strikes me as a very similar and even slightly tautological synonym. You could add "Pan-" to just about any geographical -ism, but that doesn't mean we have have to add a "also called Pan-XXXism" to every imaginable article. What's the point of having it?
 * Peter Isotalo 09:43, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

NEW FLAG
Can someone with good photoshop skills create a new image with todays Swedish and Norwegian flag? Scandinavism is a good thing. Nastykermit

It would be appropriate to mention the Scandinavian Monetary Union, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_Monetary_Union

"Nordism" would include Finland and Iceland, which are not Scandinavian but Nordic countries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.20.209.217 (talk) 19:45, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

The three King meeting
The dissolution of the 1905 Swedish-Norwegian union put things in different perspectives, but already by 1914, I think a kind of revival of Scandinavism appeared. The three King's meeting in Malmö for instance (King Gustav V of Sweden, King Christian X of Denmark and (his brother) King Håkon VII of Norway met). Could this possibly be added to the article ?

 * The sun is tabloid... and its use as a reference here should be with much caution. This organisation describes itself as a nordic movement, that includes Finland too.

Kung Fu Mahjong

Kung Fu Mahjong is a 2005 Hong Kong comedy film directed by Wong Jing and Billy Chung. It is about an obsessive gambler Chi Mo Sai (Yuen Wah) and Auntie Fei (Yuen Qiu). The film was followed by two sequels, Kung Fu Mahjong 2 which was released the same year as the first film, and Kung Fu Mahjong 3: The Final Duel, which was released in 2007.

Plot
Chi Mo Sai (Yuen Wah) meets Wong (Roger Kwok) in Auntie Fei's (Yuen Qiu) cafe and learns that Wong has a photographic memory. He decides to exploit this by teaching him how to play Mahjong, but Fei, Wong's boss, strongly objects. Despite Fei's objections, Wong learns Mahjong from compulsive gambler Chi Mo Sai. He impresses triad boss Tin Kau Ko (Wong Jing), but falls in love with Tin's mistress (Theresa Fu) and is beaten by his men. Wong goes crazy. Luckily, Fei cures him using Mahjong. Fei wants Wong to beat Tin in the climatic "King of Mahjong" competition.

It is the only 2005 film to boast of having a sequel made in 2005. The budget of the first two films are considerably smaller than Kung Fu Hustle.

Auntie Fei
Owner of Fei's cafe. Previously the Queen of Mahjong. Retired because someone stabbed her fiancé.

Chi Mo Sai
An obsessive gambler. Gambling was his job. Kicked out during the mahjong competition due to scolding others.

Wong
Wong is a young man with photographic memory. He works in Fei's cafe. Chi Mo Sai taught him mahjong. He was the champion of the 2005 "King of Mahjong" Competition.

Tin Kau Ko
A cheat and triad boss. Knows the skill of fat mantis style. Draws six tiles instead of one during a mahjong game. He's the main antagonist of the film and later, supportive character in the sequel.

Box office
The film opened on 2 June 2005 in Hong Kong at the top of the box office, grossing US$337,363 (HK $2,625,258) in its first week.

Serbian Genealogical Society

The Serbian Genealogical Society (Српско родословно друштво / Srpsko rodoslovno društvo) is a learned society that is engaged in genealogical research in Serbia and the Balkan Peninsula.

History, Purpose, and Activities
The society was established in 2002, and is the successor of the Serbian Genealogical Foundation. The society is devoted to establishing genealogical infrastructure in Serbia. Members of the foundation, together with other researchers in the region, created the SGS for the promotion of genealogy in its broadest sense. The society strives for objective research and is not engaged in political activities, which it is prohibited from doing under its own statutes. Its founding members are: Sergei Oudman, Danica Radisic and Zeljko Jovanovic.

Article 2 of the statutes state

 * The society’s goal is to promote and stimulate genealogy and related sciences in the broadest sense of the word in Serbia-Montenegro and the rest of the region. To supply resources both online and offline for the general public and members.
 * To assist the archives in promoting and assisting in genealogical research in the broadest sense of the word.
 * The creation of genealogical databases in cooperation with the Archives of Serbia and other related institutes in accordance with the law of the state of Serbia.
 * The society does not have a financial gain and serves the general interest; it therefore remains politically independent, and will provide in objective research.
 * The society can not accept donations from political institutes that can jeopardize the independent and objective status of the society.
 * The society is not affiliated with any church or religious denomination, in order to maintain its objectivity.
 * To assist in reuniting families that have been scattered due to the civil war in the former-Yugoslavia.
 * The society also provides for humanitarian aid in the broadest sense of the word.

The SGS is not a learned society although many of its members are. Members of the society include historians, sociologists, ethnologists, genealogists, and researchers, as well as amateur genealogists. The SGS has close ties with different archives in Serbia and abroad and other similar organizations. These include:

 * National Archives of Serbia
 * National Archives of Montenegro
 * Macedonian Heraldic Society
 * Slovenian Genealogical Society
 * Slovakian Genealogical & Heraldic Society
 * Croatian Heritage Museum (USA)

A primary goal of the SGS is to provide genealogical tools for those want to know more about their family heritage. The SGS runs an online presentation through its official website, which also provides forums, research tools, and allows people to post their family tree online for free through a system called “Moj Rodoslov”. This is done in accordance with the privacy laws in Serbia. The SGS is also responsible for a validation and accreditation programme to ensure proper quality of research inside Serbia.

Serbian Heraldic Society
The Serbian Society for Heraldry, Genealogy, Vexillology and Phaleristics, also known as the Serbian Heraldry Society, was established in 1991. The society is the only professional organisation of that kind in Serbia. It is involved in research and work in the fields of heraldry, genealogy, flags, medals and honours, and the more specialized fields of insigniology, archontology and nobilistics.

The White Eagle is responsible for Serbia and Montenegro's heraldic arms registry, including responsibility for the design and drawing of the Coats of Arms for most of the states and cities of Serbia.

Branches
The SGS has different branches in Belgrade, Kruševac, Bosnia, Vojvodina, the Netherlands, and the United States. All branches have their own commissions.

Archives
The SGS provides information about the available archival resources and assists people in accessing the archival resources. Serbia, unlike neighbouring countries like Croatia, has no microfilmed archives. This makes archival work more difficult. The SGS works with archives in Serbia to make them more accessible while ensuring that archival documents are properly preserved.

Wessel Islands

The Wessel Islands is a group of uninhabited islands in the Northern Territory of Australia. They extend in a more or less straight line from Buckingham Bay and the Napier Peninsula of Arnhem Land, and Elcho Island, to the northeast. Marchinbar Island is the largest of the group. Other islands include Elcho Island, Rimbija Island (the most outlying island), Guluwuru, Raragala, Stevens Island, Burgunngura, Djeergaree, Yargara, Drysdale Island, Jirrgari Island, Graham Island, Alger Island, Abbott Island, and Howard Island.

Bumaga Island and Warnawi Island, both part of the Wessel Islands group, are also part of the Cunningham Islands.

History
The Wessel Islands constituted the homelands of the Nango or Yan-nhaŋu.

Marchinbar coins
In 1944, Australian soldier Morry Isenberg found nine coins buried in the sand one day while fishing when he was stationed on Marchinbar Island. In 1979 he sent these coins to be authenticated. Four of the coins were found to have come from the Dutch East India Company, while the other five were determined to be from the Kilwa Sultanate in Tanzania. Their re-examination has given rise to much speculation about how these medieval African coins came to Australia. Another coin, believed to be from Kilwa, turned up on Elcho Island where it was found by Past Masters amateur archaeologist Mike Hermes in 2018.

European discovery and naming
The islands were mapped and named by a Dutch expedition that sailed from Banda Neira to explore the coasts of New Guinea and the South Land following up on discoveries made in 1623 by Jan Carstensz and Willem van Colster (who named Arnhem Land after his ship Arnhem). The expedition used two small yachts that had been prefabricated in the Netherlands and were assembled on the Banda Islands, the Cleen Amsterdam and the Wesel.

The ships sailed on 17 April 1636 under the command of Gerrit Thomas Pool, who was killed on New Guinea just 11 days later. The merchant Pieter Pieterszoon took over command and continued the voyage, returning to Banda. Besides the Wesel Eilanden, named after the ship, Pietersen described the Cobourg Peninsula, Melville Island (Roode hoek), and Dundas Strait (which he misidentified as a bay). 170 years later Matthew Flinders decided to retain the name of the islands, though he slightly modified it to Wessel. The cities of Arnhem and Wesel, ultimate sources of the names of Arnhem Land and Wessel Islands, are themselves only 60 km (37 miles) separated.

Later history
Much of the population of the Wessel Islands was decimated by smallpox. It may have been introduced from Makassar by Makassan traders during the 1790s, though there is also evidence that smallpox spread from Sydney Cove, after 'variolous matter' was brought there in 1788 by the First Fleet. This dried matter from smallpox scabs was used in a technique called variolation, which was used as protection against the disease prior to the development of vaccination. By the early nineteenth century, many of the Yolngu clans had been wiped out.

During World War II, a string of observational outposts were set up along the Wessel Islands. A minesweeper, the Patricia Cam, was sunk by a Japanese float plane on 22 January 1943. A Yolngu account of the incident, and attempts to save the survivors was taken down from one of the latter, Narritjin Maymuru.

Extent and geography
The islands extend in a more or less straight line from Buckingham Bay and the Napier Peninsula of Arnhem Land, and Elcho Island, to the northeast. Marchinbar Island is the largest of the group. Other islands include Elcho Island, Rimbija Island (the most outlying island), Guluwuru, Raragala, Stevens Island, Burgunngura, Djeergaree, Yargara, Drysdale Island, Jirrgari Island, Graham Island, Alger Island, Abbott Island, and Howard Island.

Bumaga Island and Warnawi Island, both part of the Wessel Islands group, are also part of the Cunningham Islands.

Marchinbar has bauxite deposits.

Most of its bays are unnamed, with only three bearing names, including Picture Bay.

Easterly trade winds and swells hit the east coast through much of the year, but in the summer, westerly winds are prevalent, and the eastern side is calm, but subject to heavy rainfall, creating many waterfalls.

Transport
Locals visit the islands by boat. Tourists can get to Gove Airport from Cairns using Airnorth, and take tours from there.

Population
There are no permanent settlements on the islands.

Protection
Wessel is the name of the IBRA subregion based on the Islands area, as well as the Commonwealth marine reserve.

The archipelago is known for its biodiversity, and harbours several endangered species.

Plastic waste
Researchers from the Charles Darwin University reported in early 2022 that the problem of plastic waste landing up on the islands was a worsening problem. Many types of plastics, including fishing gear, ghost nets, plastic bottles, cartons, and styrofoam, have increasingly littered the shores since the first survey in 2011, and is probably the worst in Northern Australia. The Gumurr Marthakal Rangers have managed the area since 2016, and are concerned at the waste, but need assistance and ongoing funding to get it cleaned up as the problem is so extensive.

Can I make my own template?
I want to make a little template of my own to use on my user page. Is there any way I can do this without adding it to the pile of Wikipedia templates? CanadaGirl
 * Yes, you can include subpages of your user space the same way you can include templates. Make a page (for example: User:CanadaGirl/Template). You can then include this template anywhere by using to include a link to the template which will refresh at every load or  to insert the text that's there at the moment of the save. BTW, please sign your posts on talk pages (like this one) with four tildes ( ~ ). - Mgm|(talk) 07:21, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

 * Be aware that userspace templates do not refresh the way standard templates do. For example, if you create template X in your userspace and add it to page Z, when you make a change to template X, page Z will continue to display it the way it was before the change, unless you manually purge the server cache or edit page Z. You can manually purge the server cache by clicking the "edit" like and changing the "edit" ending in the address bar to "purge." Also, after doing so, you can copy the URL from the address bar and create a link for easy access. I use a userspace template to include a status indicator on my user/talk pages, and I have shortcut links on the templates' talk page. See here: User:Essjay/Status and User talk:Essjay/Status. This is not necessary with templates in the Template: namespace, as they are set to automatically purge server cache whenever they are altered. -- Essjay ·  Talk 07:31, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Alternatively, you can insert somewhere on page Z to have a link to clear the cache. This makes it a little easier, IMO. --Pidgeot (t) (c) (e) 13:52, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * However, if you are only going to use the template in one place (on your user page), there is not much point in making it a template. -Aranel (" Sarah ") 17:45, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Whiddy Island

Whiddy Island (Oileán Faoide) is an island near the head of Bantry Bay in Ireland. It is approximately 5.6 km long and 2.4 km wide. The topography comprises gently-rolling glacial till, with relatively fertile soil. As late as 1880 the island had a resident population of around 450, mainly engaged in fishing and small-scale farming, but today the population has reduced to approximately 30 people. Previously home to Whiddy Island Naval Air Station, the island is noted for its oil terminal facilities – and the related Whiddy Island Disaster.

Economy and tourism
As of the 2022 census, the island had a population of 31 people. This increases with visitors arriving during the tourist season; many staying in self-catering accommodation in the form of restored traditional island cottages.

The island is linked to the mainland by the local ferry, Ocean Star III, with return trips several times a day. Bike hire is also available on the island, as is a local hackney service. Trips to and from the island and tours of the bay are available during the summer months, incorporating local history, scenery and the indigenous flora and fauna.

Walkers and anglers also travel to Whiddy Island, and the walking trails there form part of the Sheep's Head Way walking route.

There is one pub, the Bank House, which offers food and live music during the summer months.

The present-day economy is mainly fuelled by the tourism, fishing and farming industries. Due to its mild winter temperatures, it has a local reputation for producing the region's earliest potato crop.

The island is dominated by a large oil terminal which was re-purposed in the late 20th century to store a significant portion of the Irish strategic oil reserve.

History
The island's name is of uncertain origin; it could derive from Old Norse Hvít-øy, "white island."

In the early 17th century, Whiddy Island was notorious as a place where pirates traded.

Military history
Historically, the island was strategically important as it protected Bantry Bay and the bay's deepwater anchorage. As a result, the British authorities built fortified batteries on the island in Napoleonic times. This was to prevent a repeat of the arrival of a French Armada force at Bantry Bay – as had occurred in 1796.

In the last months of World War I, Whiddy became the site of a US naval air station. The US Navy's Air Wing established a seaplane base on the eastern end of the island; this became operational on 25 September 1918 when the first two Curtiss Model H planes arrived. These air crews patrolled shipping lanes around Fastnet Rock – close to where the RMS Lusitania had been sunk some years earlier. One of the base's planes crashed on 22 October 1918, killing one airman, Walford August Anderson.

The base had an operational radio station which received messages from as far away as the USA and Russia. With the Armistice of 11 November 1918, the station was no longer required and it closed in January 1919. In all, five Curtiss Model H planes were based in Whiddy during 1918: Number A1072 (a Model H-16 which crashed 22 October 1918), and numbers A1078, A1084, A3466, A4047, A4048. These H16 Large America, planes were made by Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company, at Buffalo, New York. They were 46 ft. long, had a wing span of 95 ft, two 400h.p. Liberty 12 engines (in a "pusher configuration"), four Lewis machine guns, a bomb load of four 230 pounders and a crew of five – consisting of pilot, two observers, a mechanic and a wireless operator.

On 28 June 2014, a memorial was unveiled on the island to Walford August Anderson, the seaplane pilot who lost his life at the American base during World War I. Anderson was part of a crew dedicated to detecting and deterring German U-Boats which posed a threat to British and American vessels, and, in October 1918, Anderson was killed in a crash at sea as his crew returned to base. The stone memorial, located close to the top of the Whiddy pontoon, was unveiled by Lieutenant Colonel Seán T. Cosden, Defence Attaché at the American Embassy, who attended the event – along with members of the Irish Air Corps.

Economic history
Around 1900, the pilchard industry was the main source of income for the islanders. The ruins of Pilchard Palaces can be observed close to the bank.

A large oil terminal was constructed on Whiddy Island in the late 1960s by Gulf Oil. This was designed to accommodate the largest supertankers sailing directly from the Middle East.

On Monday, 8 January 1979, a French tanker, the Betelgeuse, was unloading a cargo of crude oil at the terminal when it exploded. The blast and subsequent fire killed 50 people. The Whiddy Island Disaster, or Betelgeuse incident is considered to be one of the worst maritime disasters in Irish history. The terminal, which had been operational since 1969, was never fully repaired. It was transferred to the Irish government in 1986, after which it was used to hold much of the Irish strategic oil reserve.

The terminal, which was acquired by the Canadian company Zenith Energy in 2015, was sold to the American oil company Sunoco in 2024.

Demographics
The table reports data taken from Discover the Islands of Ireland (Alex Ritsema, Collins Press, 1999) and the Census of Ireland.

Archaeology
Archaeological remains on the island include:
 * Early ecclesiastical enclosure, Kilmore
 * Protestant graveyard, Kilmore
 * Holy well, Kilmore
 * The "Cup and Saucer", a drinking fountain made by American soldiers during World War I, Reenavanny
 * Redoubts, built 1806/1807 for 100–150 men and 8–12 guns, Reenavanny
 * Tower House, Reenavanny Castle of O'Sullivan Bere collapsed in storm 1920, Reenavanny

Townlands
The island's townlands are: Close, Crowangle, Gorraha, Kilmore, Reenaknock, Reenavanny and Tranaha. In Reenaknock, there is a small population of feral goats which can sometimes be seen near the road close to the oil terminal.

2003 Conservative Party leadership election

The 2003 Conservative Party leadership election was held due to the enforced resignation of incumbent leader Iain Duncan Smith, who lost a confidence vote among his parliamentary party. The causes of Duncan Smith's fall are often cited as his lack of charisma and impact with the public, the uninspired direction of the party under his leadership, and his previous failure to achieve more than a third of support among members of parliament in the 2001 leadership contest. In the event, the Conservative Party coalesced around Michael Howard as replacement leader and there was not a contest to replace Duncan Smith.

Fall of Iain Duncan Smith
Duncan Smith's leadership was damaged by his lack of support among many of his MPs and the perception that he was a weak, un-charismatic leader. On 14 February 2003, former MP Barry Legg was selected as Conservative Party Chief Executive. He was from the right of the party and replaced moderniser Mark MacGregor, which led to conflict within the party. On 23 February 2003, The Daily Telegraph published a story that members of parliament were considering a vote of confidence due to Duncan Smith's perceived un-electability. On 1 May 2003, Crispin Blunt resigned from the Conservative front bench and demanded a no confidence motion in Duncan Smith, the day before local government elections. On 7 May, Barry Legg resigned amid continuing disquiet.

On 13 October 2003, the parliamentary watchdog began an investigation into Duncan Smith's past employment of his wife as his diary secretary. There were allegations that she was on the parliamentary payroll for apparently doing no work. On 18 October, backbench MP Patrick Cormack suggested that Duncan Smith should call a vote of confidence in his leadership. On 22 October, major party donor Stuart Wheeler said there was "an overwhelming case" to replace Duncan Smith.

For a vote of confidence to occur, 15 percent of Conservative MPs (at the time, 25 MPs) had to write to the Chairman of the 1922 Committee demanding the vote. On 26 October, amid mounting claims that the threshold of 25 was about to be reached, Duncan Smith made an appearance on television and dared his opponents to show their hand by the evening of 29 October, or to withdraw their challenge. He also stated that he would not step down if a vote were called. On 28 October, Sir Michael Spicer, chairman of the 1922 Committee, announced that he had received at least 25 votes and the vote of no confidence was held on 29 October 2003. Duncan Smith lost the vote 75–90.

Rise of Michael Howard
As soon as the result of the confidence vote was known, MPs David Davis and Oliver Letwin announced that they were supporting former Home Secretary Michael Howard. Kenneth Clarke and Tim Yeo announced they would not be running. Michael Ancram, deputy leader of the party, gave the qualified statement that he would not stand against Howard so long as no other candidate came forward. The prospect of a sole candidate raised many questions as to whether or not ordinary party members would have the opportunity to decide whether they accepted Howard as leader, and some suggested an all-member ballot. No other candidates came forward, and Howard was elected unopposed on 6 November 2003. The board of the Conservative Party decided not to have that ratified by the party membership. The Tories went on to lose the general election in 2005.

Police National Service Full-time Light Strike Force

The Police National Service Full-time Light Strike Force (PNSF LSF) was part of Special Operations Command, a division of Singapore Police Force, located at Queensway Base in Singapore from 1998 to 2005.

History and nature
The Police Full-time LSF was established in June 1998. In the beginning, there were 4 squads, namely LSF A, LSF B, LSF C and LSF D. Each squad consisted of at least 20 men then, led by a senior officer holding a rank of inspector or above. He was assisted by a National Service Inspector (NSI).

These squads were trained mainly in riot control and every squad was capable of undertaking the task of quelling any riot which involves 80 people or less. Officers were also equipped with T-batons, shields and other riot gear. They had to maintain a higher level of physical fitness than normal officers, and to be alert at all times so that they would always beready to respond within minutes to any serious emergency that may arise.

During peacetime however, officers periodically performed standby, patrol, covert (plain clothes) and some other policing duties with other Special Operations Command units or various police divisions.

Overlapped I/O

Overlapped I/O is a name used for asynchronous I/O in the Windows API. It was introduced as an extension to the API in Windows NT.

Utilizing overlapped I/O requires passing an  structure to API functions that normally block, including ,  , and Winsock's   and. The requested operation is initiated by a function call which returns immediately, and is completed by the OS in the background. The caller may optionally specify a Win32 event handle to be raised when the operation completes. Alternatively, a program may receive notification of an event via an I/O completion port, which is the preferred method of receiving notification when used in symmetric multiprocessing environments or when handling I/O on numerous files or sockets. The third and the last method to get the I/O completion notification with overlapped IO is to use  and , which allow the User APC routine to be provided, which will be fired on the same thread on completion (User APC is the thing very similar to Unix/POSIX signal, with the main difference being that the signals are using signal numbers from the historically predefined enumeration, while the User APC can be any function declared as " "). The so-called overlapped API presents some differences depending on the Windows version used.

Asynchronous I/O is particularly useful for sockets and pipes.

Unix and Linux implement the POSIX asynchronous I/O API (AIO).

Wings (1990 video game)

Wings is a World War I video game developed and published by Cinemaware. It was released for the Amiga in 1990. The action sequences are similar in style to those of the 1927 silent film Wings.

An enhanced version was released for the Game Boy Advance as Wings Advance in 2002. A remake of the original, ''Wings! Remastered'', was published in 2014 and 2015 for Windows, MacOS, Android, and iOS.

Gameplay
In Wings, the player controls a World War I fighter pilot, including flying, firing the machine gun, and dropping bombs. The game is played from a first-person perspective, and the cockpit view shows the plane's instruments and the surrounding landscape.

The game features many types of missions, such as escorting bombers or having dogfights with enemy planes.

The game has a variety of planes to choose from, each with its own unique strengths and weaknesses. Some planes are faster but have weaker armor, while others are slower but can withstand more damage.

Reception
Wings for the Amiga was well received by critics. Computer Gaming World called it "a whopping good arcade experience ... exciting, novel, and addicting." In a survey of four World War I flight simulations, the magazine stated that Wings was the best choice for 'arcade' (action) gamers; two surveys of strategy and war games gave it three and a half stars out of five. Review scores in other magazines included 78% from Amiga Action, 79% from Amiga Format, 82.5% from Advanced Computer Entertainment, 87% from Zero, 90% from Amiga User International, 91% from The One, 94% from Computer + Video Games, and 94% from CU Amiga.

In 1993, Amiga World ranked Wings third on their list of all-time Amiga game hits. In 1996, Computer Gaming World ranked Wings for the Amiga as the 65th best game of all time for its "masterful combination of arcade action, flight simulation, and cinematic story." Retro Gamer included it on their list of top ten Amiga 500 games, stating: "You couldnt ask for a more varied game than Cinemawares Wings ... that was way ahead of its time. Its hard to believe that the game was made in 1990 as the 3D sections looked absolutely incredible and far in advance of anything that had appeared on consoles, PC or even the arcades at the time," and adding its story "told of the main characters eerily realistic wartime experiences, provoking an emotional response in the player that is all too rare in retro and modern gaming alike." In 1996, GamesMaster ranked the game 68th in their "Top 100 Games of All Time."

Wings Advance was well received too, receiving an averaged Metacritic score of 80. Craig Harris of IGN, who did not play the original Amiga version, gave the game an overall score of 7.5/10, calling it "a cool collection of three different game designs that, while fun in their own right, can't stand on their own because of gameplay limitations."

Wings Advance
The Game Boy Advance version, Wings Advance, is roughly the same game as the original, although it has been updated with improved graphics, new features, and increased gameplay options. The main difference is that the player can now opt to fly missions as a German pilot, experiencing the war from the opposite perspective.

Wings! Remastered
A campaign to create a Wings remake was put on Kickstarter at August 10, 2012 by Cinemaware with an intent to recreate the game in HD for mobile and desktop platforms (iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OS X). It aimed to recreate the original games experience and appeal. It was announced to be developed by Raylight Games, authors of Wings for the GBA, under Cinemaware's production leadership and coordination as Cinemaware first title in development since 2003s Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown. The Kickstarter project was to be funded if at least $350,000 was pledged by September 11, 2012, but was unsuccessful, reaching only $51,740. In November 2013, a second attempt (this time under the title Wings! Remastered) on Kickstarter was successful; earning $91,380 by the end of its 30-day run.

The game was officially released by Kalypso Media for Windows and MacOS on October 27, 2014 and was immediately available for Windows on Steam and GOG, though the MacOS version was only available for the game's Kickstarter backers until it was released on the Mac App Store on May 6, 2015. The game was also released with touch screen controls for Android and iOS in May 2015.

Dinko Šimunović

Dinko Šimunović (1 September 1873 – 3 August 1933) was a Croatian writer.

Dinko Šimunović was born in Knin. He spent almost two decades as a teacher in villages of the Zagora, the hinterland of Dalmatia. He retired in 1927 and moved to Zagreb in 1929, where he died in 1933.

Šimunović wrote many stories and two novels, all dealing with people from his native region. His contemporaries described his works as championing a patriarchal, hierarchical, black-and-white world, an impression further reinforced by author's personal distaste towards the modern, urban way of living.

Biography
Dinko Šimunović spent his early childhood in Koljane near Vrlika where his father was a teacher in Kijevo. Šimunović completed teacher's school in Arbanasi between 1888 and 1892.

Works

 * "Mrkodol" (1909 )
 * "Đerdan" (1914)
 * "Mladost" (The Youth, 1921)
 * "Alkar" (The Knight, 1908)
 * "Tuđinac" (The Foreigner, 1911 )
 * "Porodica Vinčić" (Vinčić Family, 1923 )
 * "Duga" (The Rainbow, 1907)

Alkar was translated to Chinese language and published in Shanghai in 1936.

National Bureau of Investigation (Philippines)

The National Bureau of Investigation (Pambansang Kawanihan ng Pagsisiyasat, abbreviated as NBI) is an agency of the Philippine government under the Department of Justice, responsible for handling and solving major high-profile cases that are in the interest of the nation.

The NBI was modelled after the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) when it was being established.

History

The Division of Investigation, later renamed the National Bureau of Investigation, came into existence on June 19, 1947, the date Republic Act 157 was approved. Its history goes back to November 13, 1936, when a Division of Investigation (DI) under the Department of Justice was created with the enactment of Commonwealth Act No. 181 by the First National Assembly. Section 1, C.A. No. 181 provides:

"A Division of Investigation under the Department of Justice is hereby created. It shall be composed of such personnel as may be necessary, in the discretion of the Secretary of Justice, and its duties shall be to help in the detection and prosecution of crimes; to acquire, collect, classify and preserve criminal identification records; and to obtain information on all matters affecting the public interest."

The DI was the brainchild of Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon and the then–Secretary of Justice José Yulo. A veteran American police officer, Capt. Thomas Duggan of the New York Police Department (NYPD), and the only Filipino member of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Flaviano Guerrero, were hired by the Philippine government to organize the Division of Investigation of the Department of Justice.

The formation of the DI generated considerable public interest and more than 3,000 applied for the initial 48 positions of NBI Agents. Physical and medical examinations were conducted by doctors from the Philippine General Hospital and San Lazaro Hospital. Of the 3,000 applicants, only 150 were allowed to take the mental test and, of this number, less than 100 passed. After further screening, 48 were certified for employment and of these successful candidates, only 45 actually accepted appointments as Agents.

The DI was then formally organized in 1937 and was composed of forty-five (45) Agents and approximately 100 officials and employees. These included lawyers, doctors, chemists, fingerprint technicians, photographers, research assistants, clerks, stenographers, janitors and messengers. The DI office operated in Manila, where its Agents and technical personnel were dispatched to the provinces from time to time to investigate crimes of public interest or when the necessity arose.

The DI operation was suspended upon the surrender of the Commonwealth Government to the occupying Japanese forces during World War II. The Japanese, however, revived the DI and allowed it to function as a division under the Department of Justice until the establishment of the Japanese puppet Philippine Republic of President José P. Laurel. During the Laurel administration, the DI was merged with the Secret Service Division of the Metropolitan Constabulary (Manila Police Department or MPD) and the Intelligence Unit of the Japanese-run Philippine Constabulary.

Upon the liberation of the Philippines by combined Filipino and American forces in 1945, the DI was not immediately reorganized since most of its original members were seconded in the service of the United States Army Counterintelligence Corps (CIC). After the surrender of Japan in August 1945, the DI was reactivated and the original members were called back to the service. The reactivated DI started with no records or equipment, most of which had been systematically destroyed by DI personnel for security reasons in order to prevent classified documents and equipment from falling into the hands of the Japanese.

In 1947, as the Philippines struggled to recover from the ravages of war, criminality in all its forms increased dramatically, straining the meager resources of the newly reorganized police service in effectively combating sophisticated organized crime groups and the solution of complex crimes. Due to the increase of lawlessness in the land, DI personnel agitated for the conversion of the Division of Investigation into a bureau, believing that an enlarged, highly professional and better equipped bureau similar to that of the American Federal Bureau of Investigation was needed to effectively fight organized crime groups and solve crimes of a complex nature.

In response, Congress filed House Bill No. 1162, from which Republic Act No. 157 originated. R.A. 157 was approved by Congress and enacted into law on June 19, 1947, which renamed DI to the Bureau of Investigation (BI). On October 4, 1947, R.A. 157 was amended by Executive Order No. 94 to change the name from BI to the National Bureau of Investigation.

On June 12, 2023, Medardo de Lemos' term as NBI Director was extended.

Mandate
The NBI is mandated to investigate/take on the following cases:

 * 1) Extrajudicial/extra-legal killings by state security forces against media practitioners/activists.
 * 2) Murders of justices and judges
 * 3) Violations of the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10175)
 * 4) Cases from the Inter-Agency Anti-Graft Coordinating Council
 * 5) Anti-Dummy Law cases
 * 6) Human trafficking cases in all Philippine airports
 * 7) Cases involving threats to security or assaults against the persons of the President, Vice President, Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
 * 8) Transnational crimes based on international agreements
 * 9) Identification of victims of natural disasters
 * 10) Violations of:
 * the E-Commerce Act of 2000 (Republic Ac No. 8792);
 * the Access Devices Regulations Act of 1998 (Republic Act No. 8484);
 * the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 8293);
 * the Securities Regulation Code (Republic Act No. 8799);
 * the Decree Increasing the Penalty for Certain Forms of Estafa (Presidential Decree No. 1689)

Organization
Organizational structure

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is a line agency under the Department of Justice and serves as the premier investigative agency of government. The agency director is a Presidential appointee and serves under the trust and confidence of the President and the Secretary of Justice (SOJ).

Each of the seven assistant directors lead a different service within the bureau. Those services are as follows:

 * Investigation Service
 * Intelligence Service
 * Comptroller Service
 * Human Resource and Management Service
 * Forensic and Scientific Research Service
 * Legal Service
 * Information and Communications Technology Service

Positions within the Bureau

On 23 June 2016, Republic Act No. 10867, also known as the "National Bureau of Investigation Reorganization and Modernization Act", was signed by President Aquino. The law provided new titles for the positions within the bureau. They are as follows:

 * Director
 * Deputy Director
 * Assistant Director
 * Regional Director
 * Assistant Regional Director
 * Head Agent
 * Supervising Agent
 * Senior Agent
 * Investigation Agent III
 * Investigation Agent II
 * Investigation Agent I
 * Special Investigator V
 * Special Investigator IV
 * Special Investigator III

NBI Directors

Since its establishment, Directors and Officers in Charge either retired, were replaced, or were deceased. The first Director in its history to have been successfully extended is Medardo G. de Lemos. The position of a Director was deemed confidential and co-terminus with the appointing authority. As a result, his term and appointment appeared to be extended despite having reached the compulsory retirement age of 65 years old.

The heads of the NBI since the founding on November 13, 1936, were:
