Ontario provincial highway 140
Not sure if a highway is notable enough in its own right to have an encyclopedia article. Cheese Sandwich 19:38, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I disagree. Also, are you prepared to nominate for deletion and shepherd through the process the 1000 or more articles that already exist for highways in all different countries, only to find that 99% of them would be kept? Courtland 20:02, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Consensus is emerging that "minor" roads should not be kept. See Sdedeo 20:20, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * comment. The notion of "minor" is a country-by-country (perhaps a region-by-region) judgement based on the degree of infrastructure development. Courtland 21:57, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete cf the British roads debate. A 12 km highway in Ontario certainly does not warrant an entry.  The existence of previous cruft should not be used to justify the inclusion of additional cruft. Dottore So 20:24, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, primary highways are verifiable and notable. JYolkowski // talk 20:25, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge all related articles into Ontario provincial highways. This article (Hwy 140) is simply a summary of an apparantly non-notable highway. Notable highways, like Ontario provincial highway 417 & British Columbia provincial highway 1 (backbone hwys, controversial, or otherwise important - ie. those with something to write about), should have an article. This, this is just a road that connects two other roads.  -maclean25 20:41, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect I am changing my vote because the article is now redundent. All relevant info has been summarized into two sentences and merged into Ontario provincial highways. -maclean25 22:07, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not sure if the article's creator is permitted to vote (if not, disregard the vote, but keep the following points in mind...). The highway (along with Hwy 58, to be exact) links a city of 18,000 to cities of 48,000, 18,000 and 130,000 (and onward). It's maintained by a province of some 12 million people. If we delete this, should Hwy 101 also go? Hwy 138? Hwy 69? Etc, etc? What you are proposing is a major reorganization of the Ontario provincial highways series. (As for merging, I don't think merging all of Ontario provincial highways is feasible from article length point of view.) --qviri 21:12, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * comment: certainly the author is allowed to vote. Courtland 21:53, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment to address your concerns: The cities it links can be much better communicated using a map, not an article. Provinces maintain a lot of roads, this does not make it notable. Hwy 101 consists of one sentence, therefore notability not established. Same with Hwy 138 but it did get to two sentences. Hwy 69 is part of the Trans Canada Hwy, so it is notable and a keep. Putting two sentence summaries beside a name on a list is not a major reorganization. The article length can be shorten by sticking to relevant information and by remaining on topic. The current list goes into secondary and tertiary highways which should be placed into a sub list and noted on the main page as 'other highways' or what have you. -maclean25 22:07, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * By major reorganization I meant changing the format from a list of links, and the separate articles being as detailed as necessary to a list and two sentences for each highway, with a link to a separate article for more notable highways. (BTW, I fixed up hwy 140's two sentences a bit.) This is changing the format of an entire category. And what exactly makes a highway notable? The federal government designating it as "Trans-Canada"? A considerable amount of people using it? In my opinion a King's Highway (forgot to mention it before) is just as notable as an electoral district. Also, I am not sure about this -- is it possible to somehow link to the highway's entry on the big page? Otherwise, the user might get mightily confused when he gets the list of every highway in Ontario rather than the info of the one highway he's looking for. --qviri 00:50, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, important highway. Kappa 21:25, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, important highway. --[[Image:Ottawa flag.png|20px]] Spinboy 21:27, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, important highway. --Nicodemus75 22:08, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. With no intention to troll, what are your criteria for notability? What is the advantage of having separate articles for each road in the absence of other notability? Sdedeo 22:39, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable highway. Criterion is that people are likely to search for information on this road using the term and high level of usage as per Qviri. Capitalistroadster 23:48, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, this is not the QEW. It's not notable.  Nandesuka 00:11, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: uh, pretty much every highway in Canada "is not the QEW", save perhaps for the 401. --qviri 00:50, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * What a coincidence! It also turns out that "pretty much every highway in Canada" isn't notable! Nandesuka 12:52, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I see we're back to "different rules for Canadians" again. Unless you're seriously proposing a policy that highways should never have articles, highways in Canada are not one bit less notable than highways in the United States. Bearcat 15:38, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep all numbered state and provincial highways - roads which thousands of people drive on daily are far more notable than Podunk Elementary, even though they're not cute and warm and fuzzy like schools are. Perhaps we need WikiProject:Roadwatch? FCYTravis 06:53, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * comment There already exists a WikiProject Highways. Courtland 08:43, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, it's a significant enough highway. I've used it myself and I don't even live in the country. Ben W Bell 08:48, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't see any problem in keeping this Verifiable and NPOV article. It's not spam or vanity and clearly someone found it notable enough to write an article about it. Double Blue  (Talk) 15:10, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. It's like raising both hands! --SPUI (talk) 15:20, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete after checking the map. Can be mentioned in a list and in the relevant location articles. Gazpacho 16:49, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * For the record, I added some more information to the article. It's not terribly important, and we could live without it should we decide to merge the articles into a big list, but for the time being it's there. --qviri talk 18:13, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep; the definition of "notable highway", at least to me, is any highway that a federal, provincial or state government deems significant enough to be maintained and signed as a part of its official highway system. (I would not, for the record, extend this to numbered county roads, unless those county roads have an especially significant history.) Also notable within the context of Mid-Peninsula Highway and Highway 406 development plans. Bearcat 23:22, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Please help out with Consensus/B roads in the United Kingdom. Thanks. --SPUI (talk) 16:24, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * See, B-roads are local roads and since they do not form part of trunk routes they are county maintained. the wub  "?/!"  21:16, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't see anything saying that - from what I understand only the trunk roads (the most major of the A roads) are nationally maintained. And there are no states in the UK, so counties are next after the country. --SPUI (talk) 00:34, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * This is wrong, counties are not the equivolent of states. By the same token B roads are not state highways.  In Britain, I would say that most state highways would be A roads. - Hahnchen 14:54, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * No vote since I know little about the Canadian road system. the wub  "?/!"  21:16, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Ontario provincial highways If it ever grows to a size thats requires its own article it can be broken out from there. Pilatus 08:34, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Transportation-related deletions.  -- Visviva 12:16, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete insignificant road --TimPope 15:49, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep, equal to a state highway in the US and we keep those.Gateman1997 17:34, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I point you to Talk:Washington State Route 900. We have hundreds of state highway articles from the US and there are several canada highway articles as well (so much that we need a new stub category because road-stub is being filled). --Rschen7754
 * Keep - Although very short in length, the road is a state highway. I'm guessing this in UK equivolence would either be a Motorway or an A road, notable enough. - Hahnchen 00:36, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Requests for comment/Stevertigo
 * Confirmation that other steps in dispute resolution have been tried

Statement by party 1
This case concerns the abuse of multiple administrative powers for the purpose of gaining an advantage in a dispute. Stevertigo violated the blocking policy four times by unblocking himself and the protection policy by reverting a protected page  to his preferred version. A RfC was posted and over 20 editors found Stevertigo's actions to be unacceptable. Stevertigo's brief response was mostly sarcastic and dismissive.

Statement by party 2

 * See Requests for arbitration/Stevertigo/Statement

Statements by other involved administrators

 * Thryduulf
 * The statement I made on the arbitration request entitled User:CJK, User:Stevertigo is relevant also to this request. I am happy to be considered a party to this request if the arbcom or any of the other parties wish it. Feel free to reproduce my statement there on this case if desired (like most of my edits, it is in the public domain).
 * I am not certain why these requests are separate, and suggest merging them. Thryduulf 18:54, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

 * User:Geni

 * I stand by my initial block under the 3RR. Yes I should have blocked the other party but it wasn't reported and due to time restriants I only cheak reported violations. I was contacterble by email for as long as the block lasted. Geni 10:08, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Stevertigo was informed of his block on his talk page with my standard template User:Geni/3rrGeni 19:30, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Mackensen
 * I acted to enforce a block previously administered by no less than three other sysops. I found out about the unblocking from the noticeboard; not IRC as some have insinuated. I did drop into the channel later, but only after Stevertigo blocked me on grounds at best spurious. I felt the need to enforce the block because if sysops are to retain the respect of the community, and sysophood as an institution is to retain its legitimacy, administrators cannot act in such a high-handed fashion.

Bois de Sioux River

The Bois de Sioux River drains Lake Traverse, the southernmost body of water in the Hudson Bay watershed of  North America. It is a tributary of the Red River of the North and defines part of the western border of the U.S. state of Minnesota, and the eastern borders of North Dakota and South Dakota. It is about 41 mi in length.

Bois de Sioux is a name derived from French meaning "Woods of the Sioux".

Course
The river flows northward from a Corps of Engineers dam at the north end of Lake Traverse and shortly enters Mud Lake. Downstream of Mud Lake it is a small stream, and its flow has been channelized and straightened in some places so that the watercourse diverges slightly from the historical state boundary. It passes the town of White Rock, South Dakota, before joining the Otter Tail River to form the Red River of the North at Wahpeton, North Dakota, and Breckenridge, Minnesota.

Tributaries
The two largest tributaries of the Bois de Sioux are the Mustinka River, which flows into Lake Traverse, and the Rabbit River south of Breckenridge; both of these enter from Minnesota.

Shabout

The shabout (Arabibarbus grypus) is a species of cyprinid fish also called in English, Persian or Arabic by the alternate common names shirbot and variations shabut, shabboot or shabbout, and in local languages by several other common names. It is a large freshwater carp found in Western Asia, where it inhabits the Tigris-Euphrates Basin, as well as Iranian rivers that flow into the Persian Gulf.

This species can grow to a length of up to 1.5 m and a weight of 30 kg, although there are unconfirmed reports of individuals up to 2 m and 100 kg, perhaps caused by confusion with the mangar (Luciobarbus esocinus). The shabout supports important fisheries, but has declined because of habitat loss (mostly due to dams, water extraction, drought and pollution) and overfishing.

Habitat and behavior
The shabout inhabits rivers from upstream tributaries to river mouths. However, it is rather adaptable and can also be found in more stagnant waters like marshes and reservoirs, although this strong swimmer prefers slow to moderately flowing waters and it has relatively high oxygen requirements. Adults prefer relatively cool waters (optimum c. 22 C), and migrate upstream in the summer when the lower reaches of rivers become warm, but smaller individuals stay in the lower parts year-round. Nevertheless, the species has a wide temperature tolerance with wild individuals living in rivers that range at least from 10.2 to(-), and individuals kept in aquaculture at between 8 and(-). This is a freshwater fish, but it does tolerate slightly brackish waters in estuaries; however, their growth significantly decreases under such conditions.

Shabout breed in the spring and summer. They breed in upstream parts of rivers, generally in places with relatively cool and fast-flowing waters, a depth of no more than 1.5 m and a gravel bottom. A female reaches maturity when at least three years old and can lay up to 235,764 eggs, placed among gravel or plants. The species is mostly herbivorous, feeding on a wide range of plant material from algae and macrophytes to fruits and grain. They also feed at lower levels on invertebrates and small fish, with one study suggesting that individuals become more predatory as they reach a large size.

Fishing
It is a commercially fished species. It was proposed that this "shabut" was identical to the fish called shibuta (Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: שיבוטא) in the Talmud. The latter's brain is famous for being touted as the kosher equivalent, taste-wise, of the otherwise forbidden and even taboo pork meat (cf. Chullin 109b). However, names of species are notorious for changing over time and between related languages, a fact, incidentally, the Talmud itself attests. The fact that Arabibarbus grypus is called in Modern Hebrew Shibuta is no proof that it is the same fish as the Talmudic one, as Modern Hebrew has a strong tendency to assimilate local Arabic names for such realia.

The shabout is an important target species for commercial fisheries which has been heavily overfished in some parts of its range for many years. In addition, it dams have blocked its migration routes and its habitat has been further degraded by water abstraction and pollution. In Iraq the population had declined by 90% between the 1960s and the 2000s, although data from other parts of its range is not available.

The fish is also being considered for aquaculture. Many species of carp are farmed as a protein source already.

User:Cetot

Hi all ,

I'm a BBC, living in West London near Heathrow airport. I've been using Wikipedia as a source and reference for a while now, though I didn't think I could meaningfully contribute to the Wikipedia community until I stumbled on a Hong Kong popular culture article. Hopefully I can help edit Hong Kong related articles into something that retains the character and intentions of the author into something that native english speakers won't find irritating and confusing. Well that's the plan for the moment anyway, I'm very new to this , and look forward to the help and forbearance of more experienced users.

My hobbies and interests include but not are limited to RPG's, especially GURPS , Science Fiction and Fantasy in all its forms , especially alternative history , politics and current affairs , history , geography , machinery (I've been known to wolf whistle at passing cranes) and culture in all its forms. Politically I'm a libertarian and humanist by nature.

SMBRelay

SMBRelay and SMBRelay2 are computer programs that can be used to carry out SMB man-in-the-middle (mitm) attacks on Windows machines. They were written by Sir Dystic of Cult of the Dead Cow (cDc) and released March 21, 2001 at the @lantacon convention in Atlanta, Georgia. More than seven years after its release, Microsoft released a patch that fixed the hole exploited by SMBRelay. This fix only fixes the vulnerability when the SMB is reflected back to the client. If it is forwarded to another host, the vulnerability can be still exploited.

SMBRelay
SMBrelay receives a connection on UDP port 139 and relays the packets between the client and server of the connecting Windows machine to the originating computer's port 139. It modifies these packets when necessary.

After connecting and authenticating, the target's client is disconnected and SMBRelay binds to port 139 on a new IP address. This relay address can then be connected to directly using "net use \\192.1.1.1" and then used by all of the networking functions built into Windows. The program relays all of the SMB traffic, excluding negotiation and authentication. As long as the target host remains connected, the user can disconnect from and reconnect to this virtual IP.

SMBRelay collects the NTLM password hashes and writes them to hashes.txt in a format usable by L0phtCrack for cracking at a later time.

As port 139 is a privileged port and requires administrator access for use, SMBRelay must run as an administrator access account. However, since port 139 is needed for NetBIOS sessions, it is difficult to block.

According to Sir Dystic, "The problem is that from a marketing standpoint, Microsoft wants their products to have as much backward compatibility as possible; but by continuing to use protocols that have known issues, they continue to leave their customers at risk to exploitation... These are, yet again, known issues that have existed since day one of this protocol. This is not a bug but a fundamental design flaw. To assume that nobody has used this method to exploit people is silly; it took me less than two weeks to write SMBRelay."

SMBRelay2
SMBRelay2 works at the NetBIOS level across any protocol to which NetBIOS is bound (such as NBF or NBT). It differs from SMBrelay in that it uses NetBIOS names rather than IP addresses.

SMBRelay2 also supports man-in-the-middling to a third host. However, it only supports listening on one name at a time.

Super Cobra

Super Cobra is a horizontally scrolling shooter developed by Konami, originally released as an arcade video game in 1981. It was published by Konami in Japan in March 1981 and manufactured and distributed by Stern in North America on June 22. It is the spiritual sequel to the Scramble arcade game released earlier in 1981. Super Cobra contains eleven distinct sections, versus six in Scramble, and is significantly more difficult, requiring maneuvering through tight spaces early in the game.

The game was a commercial success, selling 12,337 arcade cabinets in the United States within four months, becoming Stern's third best-selling arcade game. Super Cobra was widely ported by Parker Brothers, and there are Adventure Vision and standalone versions from Entex.

Gameplay
The player controls a helicopter through tight caverns, and the slightest misstep will result in the loss of a life, but unlike Scramble, the game can be continued where the player left off by adding more credits and pressing FIRE (but he/she loses all points upon continuing).

The joystick accelerates, decelerates, moves up, and moves down. The helicopter uses a laser and bomb to destroy defenders, tanks, and UFOs while infiltrating 10 Super Cobra defense systems.

The ship has a limited fuel supply, which is depleted over time. More fuel can be acquired by destroying fuel tanks in the game.

The game is divided into ten sections, plus a finale, each with a different style of terrain and different obstacles. Players navigate through ten levels and a base, where they must safely make it through the level and remove the booty. The levels are described as follows:

 * 1) Player must maneuver the chopper over mountainous terrain against fast and slow firing rockets.
 * 2) Chopper faces Arcing missiles over a mountain terrain.
 * 3) Smart Bombs flying in groups of four over mountainous terrain. Rockets appear, but do not fire.
 * 4) Single Smart Bombs over mountainous terrain. Again, Rockets appear, but do not fire.
 * 5) Chopper flies through a cavern-like terrain against falling mines.
 * 6) Rapidly firing, roving tanks over mountainous terrain. Rockets appear, but do not fire.
 * 7) Maneuver through a field of meteors which explode when hit with bombs or 3 times with laser, plus a single, green, shadow meteor directly in front of chopper which explodes when hit five times with laser. Rockets appear but do not fire.
 * 8) Chopper flies over mountainous terrain against rapidly firing UFOs. Tanks and rockets appear, but do not fire.
 * 9) Chopper faces arcing missiles over tall buildings.
 * 10) Firing rockets in a building maze.
 * 11) Base: Player must maneuver the chopper over tall buildings against arcing missiles and rapidly firing tanks to reach the Booty and safely carry it away. If the mission is successful, an extra copter is given (plus one when 10,000 points are scored).

There is no intermission between each section; the game simply scrolls into the new terrain. If the player destroys the booty on the final level, he/she must start back at the beginning of the level.

If the booty is safely carried away, the player starts back at the beginning of the first level and the cycle repeats. On the second time through the levels, the tanks fire much more aggressively and fuel is consumed much faster. On the third and subsequent times through the levels, fuel is consumed still faster. The faster rate of fuel consumption on the second and subsequent cycles may make it difficult to complete those cycles without losing at least one chopper due to running out of fuel, although this is compensated somewhat by awarding an extra chopper each time a cycle is completed and the booty is carried away.

Ports
The game was ported to the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, ColecoVision, Intellivision, Odyssey², and Atari 8-bit computers by Parker Brothers. It was also released for Sord M5, MSX, Entex Adventure Vision and Casio PV-1000. Entex produced a standalone tabletop version.

Reception
The game was a commercial success, selling 12,337 arcade cabinets in the United States within four months, by October 2, 1981, becoming Stern's third best-selling arcade classic after Berzerk and Scramble. Scramble sold 15,136 cabinets in the U.S. in five months earlier that year, adding up to 27,473 U.S. cabinet sales for both.

Arcade Express in November 1982 gave the Adventure Vision port a score of 9 out of 10. They concluded that it "takes real skill to master, and represents the state-of-the-art of scrolling shoot-outs".

The Atari 2600 version was awarded a Certificate of Merit in the category of "Best Action Videogame" at the 5th annual Arkie Awards for 1983. They compared it to Vanguard and said it "provides the same brand of relentless, multi-scenario action".

Legacy
Super Cobra appeared alongside Scramble on the retro compilation Konami Arcade Classics, released for the Sony PlayStation in 1999.

Vicente Escudero

Vicente Escudero (27 October 1888 in Valladolid, Spain – 4 December 1980 in Barcelona) was a Spanish flamenco dancer. He was closely associated with the avant-garde of his time and brought modernist aesthetics to bear on his theory of dance.

Escudero was one of the few theorists of his time to comment on the choreography and presentation of the male flamenco dance and his 'Decalogue' or ten rules for the male dancer are still respected today. As well as being the leading flamenco dancer of his era, he was a talented painter in the style, and his studies of flamenco are frequently exhibited. His work was admired by the Spanish modernist painter Joan Miró. Escudero also appeared in the films Castille On Fire (1960) and With the East Wind (1966).

His first official performance was in 1920 at the Olympia Theatre in Paris. He reached his maturity as a dancer between 1926 and 1936, during which time he toured extensively in Europe and the Americas. His most famous production was El amor brujo Escudero's style brought a new dignity and respect to the male flamenco dance, which had sometimes (though wrongly) been regarded as exaggerated and lacking in artistry.

Escudero's writing on the subject of flamenco dance and choreography was influential in forming the tastes of his own generation and the next, and he both worked with and influenced the legendary Antonio Gades. His style was based on a strong and expressive masculinity and clear and precise footwork and braceos (arm movements). Escudero's ten principles were as follows:

 * 1) Dance in a masculine style.
 * 2) Sobriety.
 * 3) Turn the wrist with the fingers closed.
 * 4) Limited movement of the hips.
 * 5) Dance in a calm manner, without vanity.
 * 6) Harmony of feet, arms and head.
 * 7) Be beautiful, flexible and honest.
 * 8) Develop an individual style and emphasis.
 * 9) Dance in traditional costume.
 * 10) Keep a range of sounds in the mind, don't put nails in the boots, dance on a simple stage and don't use accessories.

His published writing includes:

 * Mi baile (My Dance) (1947);
 * Pintura que baila (A Dancing Painter) (1950);
 * Decálogo del buen bailarín (Ten Rules for a Male Dancer)(1951).

Anyone HELP!I'm jinxed everything I write comes out in a blue box wether I wasnt it to or not, these couple of lines should use it up I hope.

Hi Ajhsm. Let me thank you for your welcome, and allow me to trouble you for advice. Could you have a look at Japanese Communist Party for me and tell me if there has been as I suspect a case of vandalism. As a nebie I'm not sure as to what channles to pursue in cases of vandalism, or that matter am I confident enough yet to challenge another user. As it stood the article raised some NPOV questions due to its use of rhetorical formulas, however if as I suspect the original author had a close affiliation to the party these formulations were useful in providing an insight as to how the party saw itself. However the articles most recent contributer(35.10.123.209)has not only taken offence with the rhetoric but seems to have tried to replace one form of bias with another, the most obvious on reading the article now is the substitution of

 * The youth wing of JCP is the oddly-named Democratic Youth League of Japan.

for

"The youth wing of JCP is the Democratic Youth League of Japan."

His or her bias is less obvious unless the history is checked, in which case it will be noted that any mention of the JCP's desire for democracy and consensus is deleted , as is the reasoning for its objection to globalisation on social and environmental grounds.

Whilst the original article's POV was obvious to all and can be taken with a pinch of salt ,(35.10.123.209)'s edits seem to be equally POV but are for the most part hidden from view.(Cetot 07:10, 29 August 2005 (UTC))

JCP
If you think something is vamdalism, or an unjustified pov edit, irrelevant, or just somethign that generally decreased the quality of the artcle, feel free to revert it. You can revert something by clicking History then the date of the older version you want to save, e.g. 10:35, 29 August 2005, then clicking edit this page and then type somethign like "reverted edits by xyz to version by asd" (or rv = short for rever, rvv = reverted vandalism) and click Save page.

About the blue box. If you start a line with a space it will do this. Used for code or something, I don't really know.

Wraparound mortgage

A wraparound mortgage, more commonly known as a "wrap", is a form of secondary financing for the purchase of real property. The seller extends to the buyer a junior mortgage which wraps around and exists in addition to any superior mortgages already secured by the property. Under a wrap, a seller accepts a secured promissory note from the buyer for the amount due on the underlying mortgage plus an amount up to the remaining purchase money balance.

The new purchaser makes monthly payments to the seller, who is then responsible for making the payments to the underlying mortgagee(s). Should the new purchaser default on those payments, the seller then has the right of foreclosure to recapture the subject property.

Because wraps are a form of seller financing, they have the effect of lowering the barriers to ownership of real property; they also can expedite the process of purchasing a home. An example:

 * ''The seller, who has the original mortgage sells his home with the existing first mortgage in place and a second mortgage which he "carries back" from the buyer. The mortgage he takes from the buyer is for the amount of the first mortgage plus a negotiated amount less than or up to the sales price, minus any down payment and closing costs.  The monthly payments are made by the buyer to the seller, who then continues to pay the first mortgage with the proceeds.  When the buyer either sells or refinances the property, all mortgages are paid off in full, with the seller entitled to the difference in the payoff of the wrap and any underlying loan payoffs.

Typically, the seller also charges a spread. For example, a seller may have a mortgage at 6% and sell the property at a rate of 8% on a wraparound mortgage. He then would be making a 2% spread on the payments each month (roughly). The difference in principal amounts and amortization schedules will affect the actual spread made.

As title is actually transferred from seller to buyer, wraparound mortgage transactions may give the bank or other mortgagees the right to call the superior notes due, based on the due-on-sale clause of the underlying mortgage(s), if such a clause is present. It is appropriate to note that the bank or other mortgagees may elect to continue to receive interest payments even in the case where they become aware of the transfer of ownership. If the mortgage remains current (and especially if the new buyer brings a formerly-defaulted mortgage current again) the original lender has no real incentive to elect acceleration of the note since they remain in a secure position.

Benefits
Buyers who cannot qualify for loans from traditional lenders may use wraps to facilitate a transaction. The standard to qualify for a wrap depends on each specific seller, which creates the potential for a wider buyer pool.

Due to heightened credit risk, sellers may earn a higher interest rate on a wrap than lenders generally earn on conventional mortgages.

Risks
Because the wrap-around mortgage is a junior lien, the seller indirectly takes on the risk of the buyer defaulting on their original mortgage. In such an event, the lender of the original mortgage (not the wrap-around) could foreclose the property and take it away from the buyer. This risk can be mitigated by allowing the buyer to make payments directly to the original lender, rather than through the seller (who then has to be trusted to continue making payments).

Wraps also introduce legal risk for sellers, as the original lender must agree to the secondary loan. Sellers must ensure compliance with the terms of their original loan and they continue to bear full responsibility for making payments on their mortgage. If the buyer defaults on the wrap, the seller has to continue paying the mortgage or else the property may be foreclosed.

Talk:Yakama

Spelling
I've followed this spelling at Shakers (Native American), but what is the basis for it? I've always seen this nation called Yakima, both from native and non-native sources. A citation would be welcome. -- Jmabel | Talk 19:44, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * The name was changed in 1994 to reflect the native pronounciation. Yakama Nation Cultural Heritage Center.  Others that use Yakama include Columbia River Inter-tribal Fish Commission, Governor's Office of India Affairs, National Indian Gaming Commission.
 * Or you can call them and ask: http://www.goia.wa.gov/directory/pdf/YAKAM.pdf Cheers!  Cacophony 06:41, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks. "Yakima" is ahead about 20-1 on the web, but of course most of those references are to the city. I see that most of the institutions closest to the tribe or nation are, indeed, using "Yakama". -- Jmabel | Talk 21:06, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Yakima is used by non-natives: Yakama by the Yakama people. 71.112.66.222 05:30, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Categories/stub tags
This article is tagged as an Indigenous languages stub, but the article is on the Yakama people. If anything, it show have an ethnic group stub tag, and an article on the language should be a separate article. Same thing with the categorization. It should be categorized under Native Americans rather than Native American languages. Of course, this article needs to be expanded, so hopefully whoever does the expansion takes these factors into consideration and fixes them at that time.--Rockero 00:08, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Removed text
I removed the following: "The Yakama Name for their language is "Ichi Skiin Sinwit Ki", and this usage is preferred in publications discussing the traditional language." If true, please cite. Zero Google hits, no citation, from user with no other contributions, and the resemblance to "itchy skin" particularly makes me suspect a hoax. But it could just possibly be real, in which case please supply a citation. - Jmabel | Talk 05:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Yakama people → Yakama – target is redirect to current title redirected by kwami on Jun 8 2010 to "Yakama Tribe", moved to current title by Usvdi on Sept 17 2013 citing "This article is about ethnic Yakama; the federally recognized Nation includes other ethnic groups" but without regard to WP:UNDAB. Then immediately redirected to Yakama Indian Reservation which is about the rez and not so much about the government. There is no reason why Yakama had to be fiddled with at all, because Yakima, Washington is spelled differently. Yakima redirects there, there is a Yakima (disambiguation) which is have just amended to include the people and the rez, even though Yakama Nation there is a redirect to the rez article. Skookum1 (talk) 06:44, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose until the issue is addressed properly. These should be discussed at a centralized location.
 * There was a discussion once on whether the ethnicity should have precedence for the name, and it was decided it shouldn't. That could be revisited.  But it really should be one discussion on the principle, not thousands of separate discussions at every ethnicity in the world over whether it should be at "X", "Xs", or "X people".  — kwami (talk) 12:32, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Michael Brown (footballer, born 1977)

Michael Robert Brown (born 25 January 1977) is an English former professional footballer and football manager who now works as a pundit.

A England under-21 international midfielder, his hard-tackling style sometimes caused him to take criticism from others in the game. He began his career with Manchester City having come through their youth ranks. He was named the club's Player of the Year in 1998 before featuring in their Second Division play-off final victory in 1999. He also spent time on loan at Hartlepool United, Portsmouth and Sheffield United, before he was sold to Sheffield United for a £400,000 fee in January 2000. He scored 36 goals in 174 appearances during a four-year stay in Sheffield, being named as the club's Player of the Year in 2002 and named on the PFA Team of the Year the following year.

He moved back to the Premier League with Tottenham Hotspur for a £500,000 fee in January 2004. After two years with Spurs, he moved on to Fulham for an 18-month stay. He was transferred to Wigan Athletic in July 2007, where he would spend two seasons before making the move to Portsmouth in August 2009. He played for the club in their 2010 FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea, but could not prevent them from being relegated out of the top-flight that same year. He joined Leeds United in July 2011 and went on to spend the next three years at Elland Road. He signed with Port Vale in July 2014 and also took on a coaching role with them before becoming assistant manager to Bruno Ribeiro in June 2016. He was promoted to caretaker manager following Ribeiro's resignation in December 2016. Still, he could not prevent relegation from EFL League One at the end of the 2016–17 season, after which he was confirmed as the club's permanent manager. With the club lying bottom of the English Football League, he was sacked in September 2017. He has since gone on to work as a pundit and summariser for BBC Sport, Sky Sports and Quest.

Early life
Brown was born in Hartlepool on 25 January 1977. His father, Robert (Bobby), helped to run Hartlepool Lion Hillcarter F.C. His mother, Barbara, was involved with the Hartlepool netball club, Oakesway. Brown attended High Tunstall Comprehensive School and represented the school football team at county level.

Manchester City
Brown graduated through the Manchester City youth scheme before signing professionally for the club on 13 September 1994. While a youth player he played in several positions before establishing himself as a central midfielder. He captained the youth team in the 1994–95 season, leading to involvement with the first-team in the 1995 pre-season. Brown made his debut for Manchester City on 26 August 1995 against Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road, in which Brown was sent off only 10 minutes after coming on as a substitute for Steve Lomas. Despite this inauspicious start to his career he was played from the start four days later at Maine Road as City were beaten 2–0 by Everton. He went on to feature as the "Citizens" main back-up player, making 16 Premier League starts and five substitute appearances during the 1995–96 relegation season.

He began the 1996–97 season as a first-team regular under manager Alan Ball after midfielder Garry Flitcroft had left the club. He reflected about the first-team opportunities, saying: "I was very young and was playing well in the youth team, the first-team weren't doing so well and I kind of got fast-tracked into the squad. I got a chance and did okay. I played quite a lot that season which was fantastic. Alan was the manager and he gave me a chance. It was a great club and to be at that age and go from nowhere to the first-team was pretty special." However, Ball was sacked and his successor Steve Coppell and Coppell's successor Frank Clark kept Brown out of the starting line-up. He was instead loaned out to his home town club Hartlepool United in March 1997 and featured in six Third Division matches at Victoria Park under Mick Tait's stewardship. He scored his first goal in the Football League for "Pools", opening the scoring in a 2–1 win over Darlington at Feethams on 19 April.

Brown worked his way back into the "Sky Blues" starting eleven midway through the 1997–98 season and scored his first goal for the club in the FA Cup on 3 January in a 2–0 win over Bradford City. In total, he made 27 appearances during the 1997–98 campaign as City were relegated out of the First Division. One of the few causes for optimism during a bad spell, he was named the club's Player of the Year.

He became a key member of the squad that won promotion out of the Second Division, featuring 39 times throughout the 1998–99 campaign. He started in the play-off final against Gillingham at Wembley Stadium, before being replaced by Ian Bishop after 61 minutes.

However, Joe Royle never utilised Brown in the First Division, and he was instead loaned out to divisional rivals Portsmouth in November 1999, who were then managed by his former City boss Alan Ball. He played four games for "Pompey" but left Fratton Park days before Ball was sacked.

Sheffield United
Newly appointed Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock was impressed by Brown in his performance for Portsmouth in a 1–0 defeat to United at Bramall Lane on 4 December, and subsequently took Brown on loan later that month. After only four performances for the "Blades" Warnock was convinced enough to spend £400,000 take Brown to Bramall Lane permanently. He scored his first goal for his new club against his former employers, Manchester City, in a 1–0 home win on 22 January. He ended the 1999–2000 season with three goals in 24 games.

He made 40 appearances during the 2000–01 campaign and scored against Steel City rivals Sheffield Wednesday in a 2–1 League Cup defeat at Hillsborough on 1 November. Brown heavily featured in the Battle of Bramall Lane; he limped off the field with an injury on 79 minutes leaving the game desperately short of players, and two minutes after he left the field another injury left United with only six players, forcing the game to be abandoned. He learned to add goals to his game during the 2001–02 season as Stuart McCall's defensive ability allowed Brown more licence to join the attack; he hit seven goals in 40 appearances and won the club's Player of the Year award.

He scored 22 goals in 54 appearances in the 2002–03 season and was named on the PFA Team of the Year alongside midfield partner Michael Tonge as they helped United to finish third in the First Division. He scored in both legs of the play-off semi-final victory over Nottingham Forest, and then played at the Millennium Stadium in the play-off final defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, missing a 48th-minute penalty when Wolves were already three goals ahead.

Leeds United were linked with a £6 million approach for both Phil Jagielka and Brown in August 2003, though Sheffield United denied ever receiving such an offer. However, after being sent off twice in the first half of the 2003–04 season, manager Neil Warnock confirmed that with Brown out of contract at the end of the season he would be looking to sell Brown to the highest bidder.

Tottenham Hotspur
Brown was signed by Tottenham Hotspur in January 2004 for a fee of £500,000. He scored his first top-flight goal in a 4–4 draw with Leicester City at White Hart Lane on 22 February. He played a total of 19 games for David Pleat's "Spurs" during the second half of the 2003–04 season.

He made 34 appearances in the 2004–05 campaign and scored goals against Norwich City in the league and against Bolton Wanderers in the League Cup. Brown's position in midfield for Tottenham was in a much deeper role than his position for Sheffield United. He found himself becoming a more defensive-minded midfielder. Although well appreciated by fans for his hard work and honest contribution, the strengthening of the Spurs midfield under Martin Jol threatened Brown's position in the team with signings like Edgar Davids, Hossam Ghaly and Danny Murphy adding competition for places with Michael Carrick and Jermaine Jenas already at the club.

Brown was limited to just 11 appearances in the first half of the 2005–06 season and was moved on to Fulham in January 2006.

Fulham
He played seven games for the "Cottagers" towards the end of the 2005–06 season. He was handed the captaincy by manager Chris Coleman. Reflecting on his captaincy, Brown said: "I just want to be playing football as much as I can and now with the added reward of being made captain it makes it even better." He made 37 appearances in the 2006–07 season as Fulham finished two places and one point above the relegation zone. However, Lawrie Sanchez was brought in after the departure of Coleman and in the close season, he signed many new players – including midfielders Chris Baird, Lee Cook and Steven Davis – and Brown became surplus to requirements under Sanchez.

Wigan Athletic
Brown signed for Wigan Athletic on a three-year deal in July 2007. The manager who signed Brown, Chris Hutchings, was sacked not long after taking charge and replaced by manager Steve Bruce. Under Bruce, Brown formed midfield partnerships with Lee Cattermole and Wilson Palacios. He went on to make 56 Premier League appearances for the "Latics" in the 2007–08 and 2008–09 campaigns. However, he fell out of favour at the DW Stadium under new manager Roberto Martínez.

Portsmouth
In August 2009, he joined fellow Premier League side Portsmouth for a nominal fee. On 11 April, Brown helped the club to reach the FA Cup final with a 2–0 victory over his former club Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley. He scored his first goal at Fratton Park in a 2–1 defeat to Aston Villa seven days later. On 15 May, Brown was in the Portsmouth side that lost 1–0 to Chelsea in the FA Cup final after a 59th minute Didier Drogba goal. With Portsmouth in serious financial trouble and many players leaving the club, Brown was a constant throughout the side. Although Portsmouth were relegated at the end of the season, Brown opted to stay at Fratton Park. Manager Avram Grant also left the club and was replaced by Steve Cotterill.

On 16 October 2010, Brown scored the winning goal in a 3–2 home win over Watford and remained almost ever-present for Portsmouth throughout the following months until both he and "Pompey" teammate Richard Hughes reached the stage where they would both be entitled to new contracts with increased wages which the club could not afford (Brown was reportedly paid £25,000 a week) if they played another game. Brown was offered a revised contract at lower pay but did not accept the offer. Cotterill reluctantly put the players up for sale. Brown played 24 times and scored three goals for Portsmouth during the 2010–11 season, with his last game before the contract cause would have been activated coming on 26 December 2010. He was released by the club in May 2011, following the expiry of his contract.

Leeds United
Brown signed for Championship club Leeds United on a one-year contract with the option of a further year in July 2011. He made his debut for the "Whites" on the opening day of the 2011–12 season in the 3–1 defeat against Southampton. After missing some games with a calf injury, Brown returned to the starting line-up at Elland Road against Crystal Palace on 10 September. He did not play for another month before making his return as a second-half substitute against Leicester City on 6 November. Brown came into the Leeds side for his first start since early September on 29 November in Leeds' emphatic 4–0 win against Nottingham Forest. During the pre-match warm-up for Leeds' FA Cup game against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, Brown kicked a ball into the face of pundit Martin Keown who was doing punditry pitch-side with Robbie Savage for ESPN's coverage of the game – he claimed that he had in fact been aiming for Savage. He endured numerous spells out of the first-team until manager Simon Grayson was replaced by his former Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock in February 2012. He scored his first goal for Leeds in a 7–3 defeat by Nottingham Forest on 20 March. He was sent off for the first time as a Leeds player when he was given a straight red against Derby County on 9 April.

Warnock revealed that the contract Brown signed in August 2012 would be on a reduced wage, but he felt Brown was the type of player he wanted to keep around the club both on and off the pitch. Brown scored his first goal of the 2012–13 season on 2 November in a 2–2 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion; the goal was awarded to Brown despite deflecting off teammate Luciano Becchio. On 5 April 2013, just days after the sacking of manager Neil Warnock, Brown activated an appearance-based clause on his contract to extend his contract at Leeds into a third year.

Brown played 19 games during the 2013–14 season and was released by owner Massimo Cellino in May 2014. Cellino also believed the number seventeen to be unlucky and asked manager Brian McDermott to retire the number following Brown's departure, leaving him to be the last player to wear that number for Leeds, until the number was unretired in 2019, when Hélder Costa wore that shirt number.

Port Vale
Brown signed a one-year contract with League One club Port Vale in July 2014; manager Micky Adams also gave him the responsibility of coaching the reserve team. He scored the only goal of the game on 15 November, helping the "Valiants" to a 1–0 win over Rochdale at Vale Park; his performance in the match earned him a place on the Football League Team of the Week. He went on to state that he aimed to continue playing football up until he was 40. Despite his age he proved a key first-team player, scoring six goals in 39 appearances in the 2014–15 campaign, and had to focus his time on playing rather than coaching.

He lost his first-team place during the 2015–16 season, but despite not playing a game for eight weeks, he managed to replace a suspended Anthony Grant and play the full 90 minutes of a 1–0 win over Bury on 28 December. He was named in the Football League Team of the Week for his performance during a 1–0 win at Blackpool on 9 January. In May 2016, chairman Norman Smurthwaite announced that Brown would assist him in appointing a successor to departing manager Rob Page. Brown was appointed as new manager Bruno Ribeiro's assistant in June 2016; the pair had played together at Sheffield United. He picked up a knee ligament injury in pre-season which kept him out of action for the opening weeks of the 2016–17 season. In May 2017, he confirmed he would remain registered as a player to provide emergency cover during the 2017–18 season.

International career
Brown made his debut for the England under-21s in the 1–0 defeat to Croatia at Roker Park on 23 April 1996. The match was only the second time in England U21 history that none of the starting lineup went on to win senior international caps. The following month he featured in the 1996 Toulon Tournament and played in the group games against Belgium, Angola and Portugal.

Managerial career
Bruno Ribeiro resigned as manager of Port Vale on 26 December 2016, and Brown was placed in temporary charge. Four days later Vale recorded a 1–0 home victory over Chesterfield in Brown's first match in charge. In the January transfer window he was forced to sell goalkeeper Jak Alnwick and reigning Player of the Year Anthony Grant, whilst top-scorer Alex Jones's loan deal expired and six other players left the club; Brown brought in youngsters Callum Guy, Tyler Walker, Olamide Shodipo, Axel Prohouly and Leo Fasan on loan, and signed Scott Tanser, Chris Eagles and Danny Pugh on free transfers. However, his team were dogged by injury problems, and Brown told the media that if he could keep the Vale out of the relegation zone that would be an achievement "off the scale". Having scored just one goal in their final seven games, Vale were relegated at the end of the campaign after drawing their final game 0–0 with Fleetwood, finishing one point short of safety.

Despite being relegated, Brown was confirmed as the club's permanent manager in May 2017. He released 13 players at the end of the 2016–17 season. His first summer signing was former two-time Player of the Year Tom Pope on a free transfer after he managed to secure his release from Bury. He went on to sign ten more players during the window: goalkeepers Rob Lainton and Sam Hornby, defenders Joe Davis, Antony Kay, Gavin Gunning, Lawrie Wilson and Graham Kelly, midfielders Michael Tonge, Cristian Montaño, David Worrall and Harry Middleton, and striker Tyrone Barnett; he also signed youngsters Rekeil Pyke, Marcus Harness, Tyler Denton, Ben Whitfield, Jack Stobbs and Tom Anderson on loan. However, Vale suffered their worst start to a season in 50 years at the beginning of the 2017–18 season, going a club record six games without scoring a goal as they sat bottom of the table in September following six consecutive league defeats. He was sacked on 16 September following a 1–1 home draw with second-from-bottom Forest Green Rovers. Speaking after his sacking, Brown said that it had been difficult for him to recruit quality players on "a very tight budget... I think it was arguably £1m under from when they had got promoted from that league the time previously". Supporter website OneValeFan described this as "a somewhat unlikely claim" as the club had only exited administration in November 2012.

Media career
Since leaving Port Vale in September 2017, Brown has worked as a pundit and summariser for BBC Sport, Sky Sports and Quest.

Style of play
Brown was criticised throughout his career for his heavy tackling. Throughout his career, he received 137 yellow cards and seven red cards. He was sent off for three clubs in the Premier League, with tackles on Ryan Giggs, Ashley Cole and Sean Davis being highlighted. Davis accused Brown of trying to break his leg, a claim which Brown described as "sickening". Brown injured Barnsley captain Jacob Butterfield with a tackle in January 2012; Butterfield claimed after the game he felt that the challenge from Brown was 'malicious' and 'intentional' and he revealed that Brown rang him after the game to apologise. He broke the ankle of Reading's Jem Karacan with a sliding challenge on 7 April 2012; Reading captain Jobi McAnuff heavily criticised the challenge after the game.

Chaim Kanievsky

Shemaryahu Yosef Chaim Kanievsky (שמריהו יוסף חיים קַניֶבסקִי; January 8, 1928 – March 18, 2022) was an Israeli Haredi rabbi and posek. He was a leading authority in Haredi Jewish society on legal and ethical practice. Known as the Gadol HaDor ("greatest of his generation") and the "Prince of Torah", much of his prominence came through Torah education and advice about Jewish law.

Though Kanievsky held no formal community-wide post, he was the de facto head of the Lithuanian branch of Haredi Judaism, revered as a consummate scholar of Jewish law and tradition, with unimpeachable rulings.

Early life
Chaim Kanievsky was born in Pinsk, Poland (now in Belarus), to Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky, known as the "Steipler Gaon", and Miriam Karelitz (Pesha Miriam: Pesha was added ), sister of Avraham Yeshayahu Karelitz, known as the "Chazon Ish".

When Kanievsky was six years old, the family moved to Mandatory Palestine. After his immigration, he never left the country, even briefly. He worked hard learning Torah in his youth and was able to elucidate complicated rabbinic teachings as a young adult. During the 1947–1949 Palestine war, Rav Chaim, then a student at the Lomza Yeshiva, served in the Israel Defense Forces, guarding an outpost overlooking Jaffa.

Rabbinic career
Kanievsky became a major authority on all matters of Jewish law, authoring several books about Jewish legal writings. He was notable even among Jewish scholars for annually learning the entire text of many sources of Jewish law, including not only the Babylonian Talmud but also the less commonly studied Jerusalem Talmud.

Kanievsky was the official rabbi and spiritual guide for the non-profit organization Belev Echad, which was founded in Israel in 2011 for the purpose of assisting sick and disabled children and adults.

Starting around 2010, a controversy arose as to who would take control from the aging founder and director of Bnei Brak's Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center, Moshe Rothschild. Historically, the hospital had been managed by three distinct groups: A board of directors, an association of rabbis and public servants, and most influential of all, the "Halakhic Supervision Committee", a rabbinical committee consisting of Shmuel Wosner, Nissim Karelitz and Yitzchok Zilberstein, with Yisrael Rand, a confidant of Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman, serving as its secretary. Rothschild wanted his son Shlomo to become director, while the rabbinical committee thought him to be a poor choice. In 2013, Kanievsky wrote a letter of recommendation for Shlomo, with Shteinman and Wosner signing on. One year later, Kanievsky was persuaded to join the board of directors.

From Shteinman's death in December 2017 until his own death, Kanievsky and Ponevezh Yeshiva head Gershon Edelstein were considered to be the leaders of the Israeli Haredi community. He was regarded as the preeminent leader of Israel's non-hasidic ultra-Orthodox Jews.

Halakhic rulings
In 2012, Kanievsky ruled that it is forbidden to possess or use a smartphone without individual permission from a halakhic authority, and that owners are not allowed to sell their phones, but should instead burn them. In 2015, he instructed United Hatzalah paramedics that in the event of a terrorist attack, they should not treat the terrorists before the victims, even if the terrorist is more seriously injured, and they may even leave the terrorist to die.

In 2016, Kanievsky declared that medicinal cannabis was kosher for Passover as long as the possession of the cannabis is not in violation of the law of the land.

In 2017, Kanievsky ruled that reporting instances of sexual child abuse to the police is consistent with halakha (Jewish law).

In 2011, he interpreted Arab Spring uprisings as evidence that the Messiah might be near. In 2015, following the 2014 Jerusalem synagogue attack, he repeatedly referred to the imminent arrival of the Messiah, and urged diaspora Jews to make aliyah (immigrate to Israel), reportedly resulting in the arrival of a substantial number of French Jews. In February 2020, shortly before the Israeli legislative elections, it was reported by one rabbi that Kanievsky had stated that the coming of the Messiah was possibly imminent.

Covid-19
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Kanievsky told his followers that the best ways to defeat the virus were to avoid lashon hara (gossiping about one's peers), to strengthen humility, and to place the needs of others before their own. As a result of the discussion, he was visited, on March 15, by senior police officials who, with great respect, wanted to ask him of the importance of following the orders of medical professionals with regard to the outbreak.

On March 29, after the ultra-Orthodox community was hit hard by the virus, with Bnei Brak having a high percentage of coronavirus cases in Israel, relative to its population, Kanievsky ruled that one who does not follow the Israeli Health Ministry's guidelines on COVID-19 is in the position of a rodef, i.e., one who pursues another with intent to kill, a murderer. He also ruled that telephones may be answered on Shabbat to get COVID-19 test results, and that minyanim must not meet at all during the pandemic – a stricter requirement than the Health Ministry's rules, which at the time allowed congregations to meet outdoors as long as participants are at least two meters (6 feet) distant from each other.

On October 2, 2020, Kanievsky was diagnosed with COVID-19. On October 28, 2020, his physician said Kanievsky had recovered from the virus.

Kanievsky endorsed vaccination for all, and wished experts success in the national campaign of vaccination.

At one point in 2020, Rav Chaim advocated for Jewish academies to remain open. On the 11th of October, however, he rescinded.

Death
Kanievsky died at his home in Bnei Brak due to a heart attack, on the Jewish holiday of Shushan Purim on March 18, 2022, at the age of 94. More than 800,000 mourners attended his funeral on March 20, 2022, making it one of the largest funerals in Israeli history, second only to Ovadia Yosef's funeral which had more than 800,000 in October 2013.

Personal life
Kanievsky was married to Batsheva Kanievsky, daughter of Yosef Sholom Eliashiv. They had eight children. She died in 2011.

The Blues and the Abstract Truth

The Blues and the Abstract Truth is an album by American composer and jazz saxophonist Oliver Nelson recorded in February 1961 for the Impulse! label. It remains Nelson's most acclaimed album and features a lineup of notable musicians: Freddie Hubbard, Eric Dolphy (his second-to-last appearance on a Nelson album following a series of collaborations recorded for Prestige), Bill Evans (his only appearance with Nelson), Paul Chambers and Roy Haynes. Baritone saxophonist George Barrow does not take solos but remains a key feature in the subtle voicings of Nelson's arrangements. The album is often noted for its unique ensemble arrangements and is frequently identified as a progenitor of Nelson's move towards arranging later in his career.

Music
Among the pieces on the album, "Stolen Moments" is the best known and has become a jazz standard: a 16-bar piece with solos in a conventional 12-bar minor blues structure in C minor. "Hoe-Down", inspired by the fourth section of Aaron Copland's Rodeo, is built on a 44-bar structure (with 32-bar solos based on rhythm changes). "Cascades" modifies the traditional 32-bar AABA form by using a 16-bar minor blues for the A section, stretching the form to a total of 56 bars. The B-side of the album contains three tracks that hew closer to the 12-bar form: "Yearnin'", "Butch and Butch" and "Teenie's Blues" (which opens with two 12-bar choruses of bass solo by Chambers).

Nelson's later album, More Blues and the Abstract Truth (1964), features an entirely different (and larger) group of musicians and bears little resemblance to this record.

Reception
Writing in the December 21, 1961, issue of DownBeat magazine jazz critic Don DeMicheal commented:"Nelson's playing is like his writing: thoughtful, unhackneyed, and well constructed. Hubbard steals the solo honors with some of his best playing on record. Dolphy gets off some good solos too, his most interesting one on 'Yearnin."

The Jazz Journal International cited the album as "one of the essential post-bop recordings."

It was voted number 333 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000).

Other versions/influences
The composition "Stolen Moments" has been recorded and performed by numerous musicians including Phil Woods, J. J. Johnson, Frank Zappa, Ahmad Jamal, Booker Ervin, the United Future Organization and the Turtle Island Quartet. The first eight bars of Nelson's solo on the bridge of "Hoe-Down" were quoted by Ernie Watts and Lee Ritenour in the song "Bullet Train" from their 1979 album Friendship. "Teenie's Blues" was used as a 2009 show-opener by Steely Dan.

In 2008 pianist Bill Cunliffe released the tribute album The Blues and the Abstract Truth, Take 2, featuring new arrangements of the original pieces.

Jews and the Abstract Truth was the debut album by experimental klezmer band Hasidic New Wave (whose members included improvisers trumpeter Frank London and saxophonist Greg Wall), released on Knitting Factory in 1996.

Alfred Jansa

Feldmarschalleutnant Alfred Johann Theophil Jansa von Tannenau, (16 July 1884 – 20 December 1963) was an Austrian Army Officer.

Alfred Jansa's father was Emanuel Jansa, a colonel in the Austro-Hungarian Army. His mother was Anna von Meyer.

During World War I he held different positions on the Serbian, Italian and Russian fronts, including being Austrian liaison officer to the Bulgarian Army (1915–1916).

Jansa married Judith Reviczky von Revisnye on 8 April 1919.

In 1930 he was the Commander of the Niederösterreich Brigade, until he was appointed the Austrian Military attaché in Berlin in 1933. Afterwards, he was made Chief of Staff of the Austrian Army in 1936.

Prior to the Anschluss, Jansa and his staff had developed a scenario for Austria's defense against a German attack. Chancellor of Austria Kurt Schuschnigg was under considerable pressure from Germany, including a demand to remove Jansa from office. The Berchtesgaden agreement (12 February 1938) stipulated in paragraph 8, that Jansa should be replaced with Franz Böhme. Jansa retired from the army on 17 February 1938.

As a known opponent of the Hitler regime, Jansa was forced into exile in Erfurt along with his family, and his army pension reduced such that he had to supplement it by working for a car parts distributor. He credited a personal intervention by Benito Mussolini, who he had met in 1936, with protecting him from worse consequences.

Jansa survived the war, and in 1945 he was visited by a group of freed prisoners from Buchenwald concentration camp, who thanked him for his moral support. In 1946, he was able to return to Austria.

The Mail (Cumbria)

The Mail, known previously as the North-West Evening Mail (1987–2017), is a daily, local newspaper in the United Kingdom, printed every morning. It is based in Barrow-in-Furness.

The Mail was founded as the North-Western Daily Mail in 1898, becoming the North-Western Evening Mail in 1941 and the North-West Evening Mail in 1987. Although its title suggests a larger area, it in fact only covers news in the South Lakes and Furness. Typically, this is Barrow, Dalton-in-Furness, Ulverston, Grange-Over-Sands, Windermere, Millom, and some of the more notable stories from Kendal and Copeland.

It is in a tabloid style, and has three separate editions (Barrow, Ulverston and Millom), though the only difference is the story on the front page. Before changes to printing arrangements it had four - Barrow Early, Barrow Late Final, Ulverston and South Lakes, and Millom: although the only difference was on the front page and page six; the remainder of the paper was the same throughout. Articles typically range between important local news items (such as major council decisions, local business news, etc.), to more personal stories about residents of the area.

The Mail is printed and published by Furness Newspapers Ltd., a subsidiary of Carlisle-based media company CN Group Ltd. The current circulation is around 7,500 copies a day (down from 14,500), within South Cumbria (a region with a total population of almost 250,000). Market penetration is at its highest in its core area of Barrow and Dalton, at almost 10 per cent of households and at its lowest in Ambleside.

James Higgins, formerly assistant editor of The Bolton News, edited the paper from July 2014 to March 2018 and having spent the previous four years as deputy editor. During his tenure, the newspaper won the coveted Newspaper of the Year award (2017) at the Society of Editors' UK press Awards, O2 North West Media Awards Scoop of the Year (2017) for an exposé on animal deaths at the South Lakes Safari Zoo, and Front Page of the Year (2015) for what became an iconic edition of the newspaper. He left the role in 2018 following Newsquest's acquisition of the CN Group. He was preceded by Jonathan Lee, who joined in 2008. Lee was previously editor of the Shetland Times, but left after a vote of no confidence from colleagues. Previous editors of The Mail include Steve Brauner, Sara Hadwin, Donald Martin, Keith Sutton, Tom Welsh and Joe Gorman.

The newspaper became a subject of a boycott because of its reporting about the Eleanor Williams case and is said to suffer financial collapse.

Former Lancashire Telegraph news editor Vanessa Sims is currently the editor of the paper.

Jack Stokes (politician)

John Edward (Jack) Stokes (February 17, 1923 – January 8, 2000 ) was a Canadian politician. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1967 to 1985, and was Speaker of the legislature from 1977 to 1981. Stokes was a member of the New Democratic Party.

Background
Stokes was born in Schreiber, Ontario and was educated in the area. He worked as a railway conductor for the Canadian Pacific Railway before entering political life, and became familiar with many Northern Ontario communities that he later represented in the legislature. Stokes was a municipal hydro commissioner from 1959 to 1963, a Credit Union director from 1965 to 1968, and chair of the Local Brotherhood Railway Trainmen from 1955 to 1967. He was a Roman Catholic, and a member of the Knights of Columbus.

Politics
He was elected to the Ontario legislature in the 1967 provincial election, defeating Liberal candidate Raymond Rudiak by 310 votes in Thunder Bay. The riding was mostly rural and pre-dated the naming of the city of Thunder Bay. It covered 110000 sqmi across much of northwestern Ontario from Lake Superior to Hudson Bay.

Stokes was returned by a much greater majority in the 1971 election. He is one of the first MPPs to regularly raise issues regarding First Nations people, and was also committed to issues of the environment, forestry renewal and northern affairs.

He was re-elected for the redistributed constituency of Lake Nipigon in the 1975 provincial election. Bill Davis's Progressive Conservatives were reduced to a minority government in this election, and Stokes served as Deputy Speaker in the parliament that followed.

Davis's party won a second consecutive minority government in the 1977 election, and the premier appointed Stokes to become Speaker of the Legislature on October 17, 1977. He was the first CCF or NDP member to serve as Speaker, and the first non-government member to hold the position since the United Farmers of Ontario government of the 1920s. Stokes was considered a tough, no-nonsense Speaker who would expel even members of his own party from the house if they were being unruly.

He returned to the NDP caucus following the 1981 Ontario election, in which the Progressive Conservatives were returned with a majority government. He supported Jim Foulds for the party leadership in 1982, and did not seek re-election in 1985. By the time of his retirement, Stokes had turned Lake Nipigon into one of the safest NDP seats in the province.

Later life
After leaving the legislature, Stokes was active with Lakehead University and Confederation College and also worked on forestry issues. Stokes died of lung cancer at the age of 76.
