Nick Nemeth → — Can we move this article to Dolph Zigger instead of his real name. Every wrestler's article uses the ring name instead of their real name. The Undertaker is under the article The Undertaker: So is Triple H. But this one isn't--Nascarking (talk) 19:52, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * What other article are named is irrelevant. Articles should be titled by their common name (WP:COMMONNAME). Can you show/explain why you think "Dolph Ziggler" is the common name? ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 06:54, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Move does not seem to be supported by policy. Active Banana (talk) 15:56, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Because he has always used the name since coming back to the WWE in 2009. We all know him as Dolph Ziggler. Let me ask you, do you think people know The Undertaker as Mark Calloway or as just The Demon of Death Valley?!--Nascarking (talk) 16:00, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Did you read the policy about article names? Per: "In determining what this name is, we follow the usage of reliable sources, such as those used as references for the article." Show that the independant third party sources overwhelmingly use your preferred stage name and not the birth name. Active Banana (talk) 16:06, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * --Nascarking (talk) 19:41, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * You provided 3 refs, out of the 77 in the article. Not a very good indication that reliable sources generally use the name you suggest. And 2 of your "sources" are wikipedia articles which are NOT reliable sources. Active Banana (talk) 20:46, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * You sound just like my friends at school and my teachers. If you read my user page, I have a user box reading I believe Wikipedia is a reliable site. Underneath the actual website, it's basically a bureaucracy. Because every edit is monitored by Millions of Admins, Reviewers (Which I Am), Auto Users, IP's, and BOT's. How could it not be a reliable source?! Nascar   king  20:09, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia articles aren't independent, third party sources either. And of course, he's listed as "Dolph Ziggler" in the WWE employees list – it's his current ring name. That doesn't help prove it's his most common name. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 02:12, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

This gets no from me he's only been Dolph for little over an year it would be a different story if it was ten year's.-- Steam   Iron  00:12, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

IC Champion?

 * Perhaps we shouldn't list Ziggler as Intercontinental Champion until the episode he is supposedly booked to win happens? Plus we don't know if he's meant to win or not. I'd suggest removing information about his supposed IC title reign unless it actually occurs. --Evil Yugi (talk) 05:16, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

National Championships
The portion about his amateur career is a bit incorrect. Kent State has never won a Division I national wrestling championship.

Return to Raw (2011- Present)
On the March 7 edition of Raw, Dolph Ziggler was rehired and signed to Raw. And defeated John Morrison. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tbone819 (talk • contribs) 04:02, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I created a new section "Move to Raw" for Ziggler because Ziggler's move to Raw has ended his storyline feud with Edge over the World Heavyweight Championship. The previous section was "World Heavyweight Champion" and thus was inappropriate for his current stint on Raw. Ziggler has also had new feuds with John Morrison and Snooki, and a new look, so I reflected that in that section. Starship.paint (talk) 12:02, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Zig Zag
Previously Ziggler had both the Jumping Russian Legsweep and the Zig Zag (Reverse bulldog) listed as two of his finishers. Upon watching the video for the match where Ziggler supposedly used the Jumping Russian Legsweep, I realised that it was really a Zig Zag, the two descriptions were of the exact same move so I have removed the finisher of jumping russian legsweep. Starship.paint (talk) 12:05, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * So you removed information that was referenced to a reliable source, based on your own opinion? No, not happening. I've restored it. Please don't do that again. Nici  Vampire  Heart  14:37, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I removed info from a reliable source. But clearly, one of the reliable sources is WRONG. I watched the videos, the Reverse Bulldog and the Jumping Russian Legsweep both refer to the Zig-Zag, do you understand what I am saying to you right now? They refer to the same move so clearly, one of the descriptions is wrong and has to be removed, as two descriptions for one move is redundant! One of your reliable sources is wrong. Did you not read my message? Don't be so stubborn and intent on following the rules please, because this newbie finds it extremely frustrating. Not to mention you removed my edits to Ziggler's current time inRaw which I referenced with RELIABLE sources. It is your job, as the reverter, to make sure you don't remove any good edits I made no matter if I made any bad edits. To just remove ALL of my edits without checking whether they are bad or good just because you thought one of them was bad just makes me feel that my contributions to this site are unvalued. I advise you to revise your conduct to be a little more flexible. I notice you revert a lot of other people's edits. Perhaps they were unsourced, but maybe you could put in some efforts to search for the sources yourself so that you don't waste people's time and good intentions by simply reverting edits. Starship.paint (talk) 23:20, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I checked all of your edits. Then I reverted. Just because you source something doesn't mean it's notable enough to be included. What exactly did WM add to his overall career? And why do you feel that every new paragraph needs a new subsection – because, hint, hint, it really doesn't. By the way, as a heads up, you'll probably be already to tell this from your talk page, but if you don't stop removing sourced infotmation because in your opinion it's wrong, you will find yourself on the wrong end of a vacation from wikipedia. Nici  Vampire  Heart  15:52, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

1. In my opinion, any Wrestlemania appearance deserves mention, purely because said wrestler is making an appearance on the Biggest Stage of Them All, it is an landmark achievement to be wrestling on Wrestlemania. 2. I have no idea what you are saying about every paragraph needing a new subsection. I don't feel that way. 3. You didn't see that I made (or didn't explain why you saw fit to remove) other edits to shift all mentions of Ziggler defending the IC title and losing it to the above paragraph because it was about Ziggler being the IC Champion. Those mentions should not be in the WHC section. Starship.paint (talk) 08:00, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

I found a photo of Ziggler as World Heavyweight Champion that I would like to add. http://prorasslin.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/ziggler-champ.jpg?w=270&h=378 However I am a new user and I don't know about copyright policy. Does this photo have copyright? How can I know? Starship.paint (talk) 12:17, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * General rule of thumb: every image on the internet is copyrighted, unless it explicitly says otherwise. In order to upload a random file from the internet to wikipedia, you will need to provide a link proving that it is not copyrighted. Nici  Vampire  Heart  14:35, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Removal of Jumping Russian Legsweep from Ziggler's Finishing Moves, as it is the same move as the Zig Zag (Reverse Bulldog), but JRL is a worse description
Look at Ziggler's finishing moves. It lists: 1. Jumping Russian Legsweep 2. Zig Zag (Reverse Bulldog)

Jumping Russian Legsweep's reference, wrestleview, which is considered "a reliable source" is "http://www.wrestleview.com/news2009/1247952511.php" which is a broken link. The real link should be "http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1247952511" It refers to the results of the 7/17/09 show, where Ziggler, with Jericho faced Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio. I found the match at "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1UG1XQGARQ" At 4:19 to 4:29 in the video, Ziggler performs the Jumping Russian Legsweep, which is the Zig Zag, really.

Reverse Bulldog's refernce, PW Torch, is also considered a reliable source. The link is to "http://www.pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TV_Reports_9/article_35422.shtml" Jericho faced Finlay. I found the match at " removed YouTube link which violates WP:LINKVIO. Nici Vampire  Heart  16:43, 19 May 2011 (UTC) " Ziggler performs the Reverse Bulldog at 44:00-44:10. If you watch the videos, (take my word for it though), they are EXACTLY THE SAME MOVE, which Ziggler calls the Zig Zag.

So, one of these reliable sources is wrong, as the Zig Zag cannot be both a jumping russian legsweep and a reverse bulldog. One move should not have two different descriptions. People are human and make mistakes. Sometimes even authors of reliable websites may call a move wrongly. I believe the Wrestleview source, "reliable" as it may be, is wrong.

The Zig Zag was called as a Jumping russian LEGSWEEP. From wikipedia itself, it involves then while hooking the opponent's leg the wrestler falls backward, pulling the opponent to the mat back-first. If you watch the two videos of Ziggler above, you notice Ziggler never touches the opponent's leg. Thus, he can't be performing a Jumping Legsweep.'

Whereas, from wikipedia the Reverse Bulldog is '''Standing next to an opponent, the attacking wrestler grabs the side of the opponent's head and leaps backwards, resulting in both individuals landing supine ''' Definitely more appropriate for the Zig Zag if you watch the videos.

Thus, due to this, I deem the Jumping Russian Legsweep, which describes the Zig-Zag, irrelevant as the Reverse Bulldog is more appropriate. I will be removing the Jumping Russian Legsweep from Ziggler's finishing moves, despite the "reliable" source. I ask that if you wish to revert my edit, that you read through this post again and watch the videos to convince yourself, because ONE of the RELIABLE sources is clearly wrong. Starship.paint (talk) 12:14, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I apologise for editing your comment above, but please read and WP:LINKVIO and refrain from linking to known copyright violations, i.e. youtube videos whose uploaders obviously do not own the rights to the footage they uploaded.
 * All the bolding and ALLCAPS above does not detract from the point that this is based on your own opinion. The reliable sources state different – we use the sources, not your opinons. Nici  Vampire  Heart  16:41, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

I want to make this very clear to you. Please read carefully. I want you to answer all my questions. They are simple Yes/No questions.
 * 1. Should a single move (Zig-Zag) should have two technical descriptions, such as a) Jumping Russian Legsweep and b) Reverse Bulldog?
 * 2. Do you agree that both the Jumping Russian Legsweep and Reverse Bulldog are the technical descriptions of the move Zig-Zag? (you'll need to consult video evidence)
 * 3. Doesn't the existence of two technical descriptions for a single move contradict each other, despite both technical descriptions coming from "reliable" sources?
 * 4. Since one of the descriptions is wrong, should we remove one of them so only one description remains?

Starship.paint (talk) 08:08, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Well, sure, I'll play along. I've done you one better than your "simple Yes/No questions" (again, and like your comments on my talk page, very patronising, not to mention stifling discussion by insisting I respond to four questions in a total of four words), and provided reasons why I gave a "simple Yes/No" answer. Let me know if you feel this is to complex for the scope or remit of this discussion.
 * No. Reason: Only the Reverse bulldog is sourced as being the Zig-Zag.
 * No. Reason: The move 'Jumping Russian Legsweep' is not called the 'Zig-Zag' in the source.
 * No. Reason: There is no "two technical descriptions for a single move". Source 1 – quote: "Ziggler then hits his finisher, a Jumping Russian Leg Sweep". Lookie, no mention of the Zig-Zag. Source 2:  quote: "Ziggler then nailed his Zig-Zag reverse bulldog". So the Zig-Zag is a reverse bulldog. Hey – that's what the article says now, and what it said before you started this section. Ergo based on the sources, and try to follow here, the Jumping Russian Legsweep is a complete, different, and distinct finisher to the Zig-Zag.
 * No. Reason: See above reasons, but I'll summarise here to make this very clear to you : The Jumping Russian Legsweep is not called the Zig-Zag, only the reverse bulldog is.
 * Thanks for the interrogation.
 * Have a nice day.
 * Nici Vampire  Heart  14:16, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

I meant not to be patronising at all. I have no problem with you providing your reasons, rather than a simple Yes/No. Please, stop assuming that I am adopting a patronising attitude. Now, I'm not sure if my early comments I came off as patronising, but rest assured all my recent comments from posting on your wall onwards have been in good faith.

Now, all your answers are No, whereas all my answers are Yes. So the key difference between us, is that you do not think that the Jumping Russian Legsweep is a Zig-Zag. As I said, if you watch the videos, Ziggler did the exact same move both times. I believe at that time, Ziggler hadn't named his finisher yet, but he didn't change it. I found that reference 51 Smackdown: re-writing a good showhttp://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2009/05/16/9476311.html also describes Ziggler performing a reverse bulldog. That was in May 2009. The Wrestleview reference is in July 2009. Ziggler was not reported to change his finisher at that time. As of now, I have only video evidence that he executed the same move. I'm not sure why you can't conclude from the video evidence that what Ziggler did was exactly the same? Starship.paint (talk) 15:53, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

I've been trying to get this change established for a long time now. There has never been a single source that contradicts these claims and states these are different moves, while footage of the matches and unestablished sources clearly suggest they're the same move. Because there is no reliable source that has ever stated these are different moves, so I don't see why editors here won't have an open dialogue and just revert edits they don't agree with. While there is no reliable source that has gone out and listed every possible description for the Zig Zag, there is no reliable citation that warrants listing all of these different moves. I think it would greatly benefit the article if editors looked at the footage and used their own reasoning. This strict refusal to use our own brains is detrimental to the article when Wikipedia acknowledges we can bend the rules if it will help the article. -WikiFew (talk) 04:41, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

United States And Intercontinental Champion Position
Jim Ross always mention what position the wrestlers were after they won their secondtier championship like Shelton was the 23rd to win both championships so what is Dolph's position? AnthonyTheGamer (talk) 22:12, 20 June 2011 (UTC) AnthonyTheGamer
 * I don't think that's important enough to be included, actually. Does it matter whether he's 22nd or 25th? Starship.paint (talk) 00:55, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Gray Maynard and Andy Hrovat
Should the article mention that Gray Maynard and Andy Hrovat were on his high school wrestling team and that they were all part of the same graduating class? It is impressive that Nemeth holds a school record for most pins when he was teammates with Maynard, who would become very successful in the UFC, and with Hrovat who competed in the Olympics. Grammarian10 (talk) 01:55, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I am okay with this mention. Something along the lines of "Nemeth was teammates with GM and AH, who would go on to compete in the UFC and at the Olympics respectively". I suppose do you have a source to back you up? Starship.paint (talk) 00:55, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Entrance theme history
My edit concerning his entrance theme section was reverted because it lacked sources. This would have been fine except any source I could have found would have been youtube videos of the dates in question, videos that would have been against the rules to use as sources since they were copyright violations. On top of that, the sources for the themes deemed acceptable are simply links to where you can buy them online. So is this information that is just not allowed to exist on the page because the sources wouldn't be allowed, regardless of how accurate they were?

Max Nardi (talk) 05:03, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Signature move name
Ziggler's been playing with the move name for awhile on Twitter and it looks like they've decided (via Scott Stanford on last week's Superstars) to start calling his Rocker Dropper (leg drop bulldog) the "Name Dropper." I haven't edited in a long long time, but I provided a reliable source since I know the episode in question on Youtube doesn't count. If the change was made too soon, I understand. :P --Miikro (talk) 08:52, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Should he really be listed as a Triple Crown Champion?
Sure, Nick Nemeth has been World, IC and Tag Champion, but WWE does not recognize Dolph Ziggler and Nicky Spirit Squad as the same wrestler. Since the Triple Crown is a kayfabe recognition introduced by WWE, Ziggler should not be listed as one, since he has never been a Tag Team Champion as per WWE storylines (also in WWE link given). I'm not suggesting that any titles be removed from his accomplishments, but the Triple Crown accolade should. Mr Neese (talk) 16:17, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Rather than delete this detail, I have instead noted that it is unrecognized by WWE. Mr Neese (talk) 16:29, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Ziggler dating Amy is far more relevant to "personal life" than what his brothers did in their life which has nothing to do with Ziggler just because they are blood relatives.

 * Oppose As many other wrestlers, he had worked for 15 years as Dolph Ziggler. He has worked on the biggest promotion in the world, he is a two time World Champion. he has worked on TV, Films and webseries as Dolph Ziggler. Goggle has 4.200.000 results for Ziggler, just 1.490.000 for Nemeth. Just a few months using his real name, I think Ziggler stills the WP:COMMONNAME. Maybe in one year... but now, It's too soon for a move. Also, I know the story, if he changes the name or return to Ziggler, will be another request to hcange the name, saying that Nic Nemeth is not the WP:COMMONNAME because he isn't working under his real name. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 14:22, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Although he worked 15 years as Dolph Ziggler, he's lived 43 as Nicholas Nemeth. I wasn't even able to find Goggle, let alone 4.200.000 results for Ziggler.

Kalahandi district

Kalahandi district is a district of western Odisha in India.

History
Archaeological evidence of Stone Age and Iron Age human settlement has been recovered from the region. Asurgarh offered an advanced, well civilised, cultured and urban human settlement about 2000 years ago in the region. In South Asia it is believed that the lands of Kalahandi district and Koraput district were the ancient places where people started cultivation of paddy. In ancient time it was known as Mahakantara (meaning great forest) and Karunda Mandal, which means treasure of precious stones like karandam (corundum/manik), garnet (red stone), beruz, neelam (sapphire/blue stone), and alexandrite, etc. Maa Manikeswari (the goddess of Manikya or Karandam) is the clan deity of Kalahandi may also signify its historical name.

It was a princely state in British India and in post-independence period it merged with Odisha state in India as Kalahandi district comprising current Kalahandi district and Nuapada district. In 1967, Kashipur block from Kalahandi district was transferred to Rayagada district for administrative reasons. Despite its backwardness it is one of the rich regions in history, agriculture, forest resources, gemstone, bauxite, folk dance, folk music, folklore, handicrafts and arts. In 1993, Nuapada sub-division was carved out as a separate district, but Kalahandi (Lok Sabha constituency) continues to constitute present Kalahandi district and Nuapada district together.

The archaeological record of the Tel Valley reveals the presence of the primates in its zones during the Pleistocenephase. Paleolithic is being documented in Kalahandi, like Moter river basin in Dharamgarh region. One of the largest size axe of late Stone Age culture has been recovered from Kalahandi. Tel river civilisation put light towards a great civilisation existing in Kalahandi in the past that is recently getting explored. The discovered archaeological wealth of Tel Valley suggest a well civilised, urbanised, cultured people inhabited on this land mass around 2000 years ago and Asurgarh was its capital. Kalahandi along with Koraput and Bastar was part of Kantara referred in Ramayana and Mahabharata.

In the 4th century BC Kalahandi region was known as Indravana from where precious gemstones and diamonds were collected for the imperial Maurya treasury. During the period of Maurya emperor Ashoka, Kalahandi along with Koraput and Bastar region was called Atavi Land. This land was unconquered as per Ashokan record. In the beginning of the Christian era probably it was known as Mahavana. In the 4th century AD Vyaghraraja was ruling over Mahakantara comprising Kalahandi, undivided Koraput and Bastar region. Asurgarh was capital of Mahakantara. After Vyaghraraja, the Nala kings like Bhavadatta Varman, Arthapati and Skanda Varman ruled over south part of this region up to about 500, the territory was known as Nalavadi-visaya and rest of Mahakantara, lower part of Tel river valley was ruled by king Tastikara and his scions, the kingdom was known as Parvatad-waraka, whose headquarters was Talabhamraka near Belkhandi.

In the 6th century a new kingdom developed in the Kalahandi tract under King Tustikara, but very little is known about other kings of his family. Maraguda valley was identified as the capital of Sarabapuriyas. During Sarabapuriyas in the 6th century, Kalahandi lost its political entities and merged with eastern part of South Kosal or Kosal. But this was also for a short period as in succeeding phase it assumed a distinct name Trikalinga. By the 9th–10th centuries the region including Western Odisha, Kalahandi, Koraput and Bastar was known as Trikalinga. The Somavamsi king Mahabhavagupta I Janmejaya (925 – 960) assumed the title Trikalingadhipati. Trikalinga was short lived and Chindakangas carved out a new kingdom called Chakrakota Mandala or Bramarakota Mandala, which later one expanded to whole Kalahandi and Koraput.

Naga dynasty of Kalahandi
The Naga dynasty started ruling Kalahandi in 1006. The Nagas of Kalahandi are the only dynasty in Odisha having a record of thousand years (1050–1948). During the 12th century Chkrakota Mandal was incorporated with the Ganga realm of Kalinga, and renamed "Kamala Mandala", thus Kalahandi region became part of Kalinga as a feudatory of the Eastern Gangas under Nagas rules and continued till the 14th century. After 14th century Nagas owed allegiance from Eastern Gangas to the Suryavamsi Gajapatis. This territory assumed independence after the downfall of the Gajapatis of Odisha in 1568.

According to tradition the Kalahandi kingdom commanded sovereign power over eighteen garbs. It was occupied by the Bhonslas of Nagpur in the middle of the 18th century but still it was a Gadajat under Nagas rule. In 1853 the Nagpur state lapsed to the British Crown as Raghujee III died without an heir. Then Kalahandi became a princely state under British and known as Karonda Mandal. Maharaja Pratap Keshari Deo, the Ex-Maharaja of Kalahandi, in one of his articles expressed his view that the historical significance of naming Kalahandi as Karunda Mandala is based on the availability of Corundum in this region. Manikeswari (the goddess of Manikya), the clan deity of the Naga kings of Kalahandi may have also necessitated the adoption of the name.

After Indian independence in 1947, Kalahandi joined India on 1 January 1948. On 1 November 1949, Patna Balangir district and Subarnapur district together constituted a separate district and the Nuapada sub-division of Sambalpur was added to the Kalahandi district. In 1967, Kashipur block of Kalahandi district was transferred to Rayagada division for administrative purpose. In 1993, Raja Ravi Gupta along with his siblings and prajaa reinvented Nuapada. Nuapada sub-division was carved out as a separate district, but Kalahandi (Lok Sabha constituency) continues to constitute present Kalahandi district and Nuapada district together.

Kalahandi Syndrome
Kalahandi has had several major droughts over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries. Drought had occurred in Kalahandi in 1868, 1884 and 1897. The famine of 1899 is otherwise known as "Chhapan Salar Durbhikshya". The effect of the famine, according to the District Gazetteers, were of a magnitude unprecedented in any previous famine. In 1919–1920, another drought occurred followed by cholera, influenza and malnutrition due to lack of foodstuff.

A series of droughts in 1922–1923, 1925–1926, 1929–1930, 1954–1955 and 1965–66 occurred in Kalahandi. In the 1965–66 drought, three-fourths of the crop production failed due to lack of rain. The effect of the drought continued to be felt in 1967. The District Gazetteers of the time noted that:
 * "The bulk of the population which constituted the landless agricultural labourers became unemployed due to suspension of all sorts of agricultural operations. The worst sufferers were the landed gentry, who, because of the drought, could not reap a harvest nor could they take to manual labour to which they were not accustomed. The pastures lost the greenery and the bovine population therefore was equally starved. Everywhere there was an acute shortage of water."

Again in 1974–75 and in 1985. After the severe drought of 1956 and 1966, the rich cultivators of this area came down to the status of middle class cultivators and the middle class cultivators into ordinary ones. They all turned into Sukhbasis, a term used in Kalahandi for landless cultivators and labourers. The state's Bureau of Statistics and Economics has analyzed the rainfall of South Western Kalahandi and has reported that "there is a year of drought in every three or four years". Along with the drought the problems such as rural unemployment, non-industrialization, growth of population and rapid deforestation are some of the major problems of Kalahandi. Kalahandi has been in the news since the middle of the 1980s when India Today reported sale of a child by its parents due to financial crisis. That article led the then prime minister Rajiv Gandhi to pay a visit to the district and brought the district to the attention of the national stage for its acute poverty and famine. Subsequently, similar reported cases of starvation deaths and sale of children have led to the announcement of a host of relief efforts and development projects. This backward phenomena despite richness of Kalahandi was called Kalahandi Syndrome by social workers. Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao announced the famous KBK project for backward undivided Kalahandi, Bolangir and Koraput districts in 1994. Nonetheless, Kalahandi has not been able to take off despite hosts of programmes, largely because of lacuna at implementation stage. As the basic infrastructure is dismal state, the development progress is very slow.

Kalahandi is more often used a symbol of backwardness in popular media and among politicians or social workers. Use of Kalahandi in popular literature has been controversial. In a literary conference, "Rajya Sastriya Lekhaka Sammilani" in 1994 at Bhawanipatna, many invited speakers and local intellectuals pointed out that it's not wise to use the name "Kalahandi" as synonym for starvation death. Starvation death does not imply image of Kalahandi completely and by using it for starvation death other rich aspects of life in Kalahandi are being ignored. Starvation death was just one side of a coin, like poverty in Odisha or India. However, there are many writers, philosophers, social workers, journalists, politicians etc., particularly in India who are continue to use the name in literature, articles and reviews. According to Tapan Kumar Pradhan although the drought situation in Kalahandi was a moderate natural disaster, the starvation deaths were a completely avoidable manmade disaster.

The Kalahandi film made by Indian film director Gautam Ghose received critical notice.

Political marginalization in recent times

Politically, the district does not have much importance in state or national politics. Though in 2000 and 2004 elections Biju Janata Dal- Bharatiya Janata Party combined had won all the MLA and MP seats in Kalahandi, in 2009 election people opted for Indian National Congress except Dharamgarh MLA constituency, which is largely seen as ongoing political negligence to this region. Bhakta Charan Das, as third time Indian National Congress MP from the district did not receive any Union Ministry in Manmohan Singh's Ministry. During the Chandrasekhar regime (1990–91), Bhakta Charan Das was part of the union ministry in the Railway and Sports department. No other MPs in last three decades have made it to any important post of national or state level. Pradeep Naik the seating MLA from Bhawanipatna Constituency is leader of opposition of Odisha assembly. Bhupinder Singh, Jagannath Pattnaik and Rasa Bihari Behera had been among the opposition leader, senior leaders, ministers in Odisha. Despite trio of them being in an important ministry like Revenue and Tourism, Agriculture they failed to make it to limelight. Earlier Pushpendra Singh Deo was a state and later on cabinet minister and currently Dibya Shankar Mishra is a state minister in Naveen Patnaik Government in Odisha since 2000. Political disappointment in the region is raising. Kalahandi highlighted for starvation and poverty is often marginalised in Odisha state and Indian national politics. This discrimination is thought to be due to national politics. Immediately after independence Kalahandi Lok Sabha Constituency was represented by non-congress candidate for 30 years, the period India was ruled by Congress Party. Thus, Kalahandi Lok Sabha Constituency was neglected and left out of development initiatives when the Congress ruled at the centre. Indira Gandhi visited Kalahandi in the early 1980s; Rajiv Gandhi visited in 1984; Sonia Gandhi visited in 2004, and Rahul Gandhi visited in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Since 1980, the Indian National Congress has been ruling for 20 years at the centre. Despite late prime ministers Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, P.V. Narasimha Rao, and present leaders Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi etc. Tall claims for developing Kalahandi, little was done for long-term sustainable development in higher education, national highway, railway and industry during those leadership at Delhi. Few initiatives taken in post-independence of India for developing Kalahandi were only during non-congress rule in India such as Upper Indiravati Irrigation Project (during Moraji Desai as Prime Minister of India), Lanjigarh road – Jungarh and possibility of extending to Nabarangpur district (during Chandrasekhar as Prime Minister of India), National Highway 201 & 217 passing through Kalahandi (during Atal Bihari Vajpayee as Prime Minister of India), all these projects are not yet fully accomplished.

The Central government of India has established two public sector factories such as HAL factory and NALCO factory in the neighbouring Koraput district (part of KBK), a Lok Sabha constituency held by congress party since independence, and an ordnance factory in Balangir district (part of KBK) leaving only Kalahhani among KBK for such development in the region. No public sector industrial investment has been taken place in Kalahandi since past 62 years. Local need in major infrastructure in railway, highways and demand for a railway factory and Central University is not yet addressed. In 2008, "India Today" survey put Kalahandi among the bottom five Lok Sabha Constituency in Socio-economic and infrastructure development in India

Struggle for irrigation project
When Kalahandi was a princely state, a major irrigation project was initiated on Indravati River to build Indravati Dam by Maharaja Pratap Keshari Deo around 1939–47, and along with engineer Bhubaneswar Behera and administrator Ram Chandra Patra he visualized and prepared the blue print. However, in 1948 princely state of Kalahandi was merged as part of Odisha state and this could not be materialized. In post independence period as member of parliament Pratap Keshari Deo fought from 1950 to 1979 but was not able succeed as he was in the opposition of congress party until new Govt. formed by late prime minister Maraji Desai in 1978, who accepted Deo's proposal to construct the Indravati dam for hydroelectricity generation and irrigation purposes. After prime minister Morarji Desai's approval and foundation stone in 1978, the project took more than two decades to be realised and corruption was alleged with corruption. However, the project is a major boost to agricultural development today known as Upper Indravati Hydroelectric and irrigation project. There are still concerns and lack for government funds to irrigate Koksara, Golamunda and Bhawanipatan blocks in Kalahandi through this projects as every year lots of water is released from the dam through Hati river without using for irrigation. The Jonk River dam at Patora and Jonk river bridge and canal systems also took decades to complete due to corruption. Similarly water shades in Tel river for irrigation in Kalahandi is one of the basic demands of local farmers which is not getting Government support.

Struggle for a central university
Kalahandi was struggling for a higher educational institution since independence. Earlier proposal to establish a Government Engineering College or a state University in Kalahandi or Koraput region in the 1980s was later on shifted to some other part in Odisha for political reasons. A team visited by planning commission to Kalahandi Balangir Koraput (KBK) region had suggested to establish an agriculture college in the region. Since 1988 people of Kalahandi are seriously demanding a Central University in Kalahandi as it is central to all KBK districts and has good railway connectivity to major cities in India from Kesinga railway station. In the 1990s when state Government of Odisha proposed to establish a university in northern Odisha, people of Kalahandi repeated their demand for such a university in Kalahandi as well. Then Chief Minister of Odisha Biju Patnaik while addressing publicly in Government College Bhawanipatna said Government could not establish University if people want to establish University in their neighbourhood. But Mr Giridhar Gomang, Chief Minister of Odisha later in 1999 agreed to establish two Universities in Baripada and Balasore due to public protest making people of Kalahandi highly disappointed. This otherwise unorganized and weak demand took serious turn when leading academician Prof. Gopa Bandhu Behera established "Kalahandi Sikhya Vikas Parishad' in Bhawanipatna in 1999 through it and "Central University Kriya Committee" the struggle for a Central University in Kalahandi continued seriously. Many memoranda were submitted to both state and central Government in this regard since then. In the meantime, in 2006–07, non-resident Indians of Odisha origin and activists in Bhubaneswar started campaigning for central universities in every state and that of one in KBK districts of Odisha. Few NRI advocated for such higher educational institutions in Kalahandi. When Government of India announced to establish 12 Central Universities in various states not having any Central University across India which included Odisha, a delegation from Kalahandi consisting intellectuals, general people and politicians met Odisha's Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik in May 2008 to establish the Central University in Kalahandi. Naveen Patnaik promised and asked them to find out land details for establishing it in Kalahandi. People of Kalahandi sent the land details through district of Collector of Kalahandi in July 2008. However, without studying it, Odisha's Chief Minister unilaterally announced to establish proposed Central University of Odisha in Koraput, though it was expected to come up in Bhawanipatna. Again a team from Kalahandi visited Chief minister immediately after the announcement and Chief minister of Odisha promised visiting delegation of Kalahandi to establish a Government Engineering and Agriculture Colleges in Bhawanipatna. People of Kalahandi though welcome establishment of such the colleges, Kalahandi Sikhya Vikas Parisad and Central University Kriya Committee said it's not a replacement for the Central University as estimated cost for the proposed Central University is inr 8000000000 with an area of 500 acre of land, whereas both Engineering and Agriculture Colleges are estimated to be 100 million as per Government announcement so far. Subsequently, on 26 Dec 2008 leading academician from abroad demanded to covert Government Autonomous College Bhawanipatna to a university in the line of university tag given to Ravenshaw College, UCE Burla and Khallikote College. Coincidentally next day on 27 Dec 2008 Odisha chief minister officially announced an Engineering College and an Agriculture College at Bhawanipatna keeping his earlier promise. However, the demand to covert Government Autonomous College Bhawanipatna to a university was further taken by students, Kalahandi Sikhya Vikas Parisad, academicians, and local leaders for over a decade. Finally, Odisha Government announced to convert Government Autonomous College Bhawanipatna to a university in Feb 2019, just before the assembly election. Few NRI also had demanded to either establish a Central Agriculture University or a state agriculture university in Kalahandi because of its agriculture potential and central location in the KBK region, subsequently then Union minister of Agriculture asked Odisha Govt. to study this referring to letter by Kalahandi MP and before election of 2014 Odisha Govt. had included in its manifesto to establish second Agriculture University in an area under KBK districts. Although academicians, Kalahandi Sikhya Vikas Parishad and people have been demanding to establish Agriculture University in Bhawanipatna, no progress has been made yet.

Struggle for railway lines and rail factory
Kalahandi and Nuapada districts have a higher number of migrant workers than other states. Agriculture alone is not enough for employment generation for this region and needs industrial development. Since 2008, non-resident Indian of Kalahandi origin have initiated and appealed to establish a railway factory in the backward KBK region. In the 2010-11 budget Indian railway has proposed a Wagon factory to be established in Bhubaneswar or Kalahandi. But Odisha Government proposed to establish such Wagon factory in Ganjam district, which was highly criticized by intellectuals, non-resident Indians, local people and politicians. Protest continued in Kalahandi region by local leaders, people and NRI for two years. Due to public pressure in the 2013-2014 railway budget announcement was made for setting up a Wagon Periodical Overhauling Workshop in Kalahandi, and again this was shifted to Vishakapatnam (Vadlapudi) because of technical reason. Moreover, in the 2017-18 union budget, an Electric Loco Periodical Overhauling Workshop was announced to be set up in Kalahandi with an investment of Rs 186 crore. Not much progress has been made since then.

Lanjigarh–Junagarh section under East Coast Railway Zone was completed in March 2014, which was sanctioned when local MP Bhakta Charan Das was minister of state for railway in 1990–91. The surveyed railway line, Kantabanji (Balangir) -Jeypore (Koraput) via Nuapada, Kalahandi and Nabarangpur districts, needs approval, funding and immediate implementation. Similarly Junagarh Road-Nabarangpur rail line project is pending for 8 years to get budgetary approval despite appeal from locals and academicians. NRI of Odisha origin initiated demanding to survey for Raipur-Rajim-Gariabandh-Debhog-Dharamagrh-Junagarh since 2008, Lanjigarh road-Phulbani-Angul (Talcher) since 2009 and Bhawanipatna-Kesinga since 2011, and survey by Indian railway was approved for Talcher-Phulbani-Lanjigarh in 2010, Raipur- Rajim-Gariabandh-Debhog-Dharamagrh-Junagarh in 2012, Bhawanipatna-Kesinga in 2017 for but not much progress has been made for these projects.

Geography
Kalahandi lies in between 19.3 N and 21.5 N latitudes and 82.20 E and 83.47 E longitudes and occupies the south western portion of Odisha, bordered to the north by the Balangir district and Nuapada district, to the south by the Nabarangpur district, Koraput district and Rayagada district, and to the east by the Rayagada district, Kandhamal district and Boudh district. It has an area of 8,364.89 square kilometres and ranks 7th in area among the 30 districts of Odisha. The district headquarters is at Bhawanipatna which stands almost in the central location of the district. Bhawanipatna and Dharamgarh are two sub-divisions of Kalahandi. Junagarh, Jaipatna, Kesinga, Lanjigarh and Mukhiguda are other major towns in Kalahandi. Tel is the main river of Kalahandi. Other notably rivers are Indravati, Udanti, Hati, Utei, Sagada, Rahul, Nagabali, Mudra, etc. The topography of Kalahandi consists of plain land, hills & mountains. Kalahandi is surrounded by hills. Its border with Nabarangpur, Koraput, Rayagada and Kandhamal districts are hilly and mountainous. The district is primarily agricultural, with over one third of the district area covered with dense jungle forest. Industry is very limited, but bauxite and graphite deposits can be commercially exploited.

Administrative Setup
Kalahandi has been divided into two sub-divisions namely Bhawanipatna subdivision and Dharamgarh subdivision and 13 blocks.
 * Blocks under Bhawanipatna subdivision are: Bhawanipatna, Kesinga, Lanjigarh, Narla, Karlamunda, M. Rampur, and T. Rampur.
 * Blocks under Dharamgarh Sub-Division are: Dharamgarh, Junagarh, Koksara, Jaipatna, Kalampur, and Golamunda.

Economy
In 2006 the Ministry of Panchayati Raj named Kalahandi one of the country's 250 most backward districts (out of a total of 640). It is one of the 19 districts in Odisha currently receiving funds from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme (BRGF).

Agriculture
Kalahandi is largely an agriculture-based economy. During the Bengal famine Kalahandi alone had sent 100,000 tons of rice. During the 1930s princely state of Kalahandi had proposed to build upper Indravati project but subsequent merger of princely state with India delayed the project. It was approved in 1978 and is yet to be fully completed. In the meantime drought occurred in the 1960s and lately in the 1980s. In the 1980s Kalahandi become infamous for drought, child selling, malnutrition and starvation death and social worker referred it as 'Kalahandi Syndrome'. Though KBK project was announced in the 1990s by central Government specially for undivided Kalahandi, Balangir and Koraput districts primarily keeping poverty, backwardness and starvation death in mind, undivided Kalahandi district continued to remain politically ignored. Kalahandi is an example of disparity/contrasts that exist in many parts of the developing/underdeveloped world. On the one side, this district is famous for famine and starvation deaths: this is the same district that is rich with agriculture. Dharamgarh sub-division was historical known for rice production in Odisha. Since the 2000s the Indravati Water Project, second biggest in the state has changed the landscape of southern Kalahandi, leading to two crops in a year. Because of this, blocks like Kalampur, Jaipatna, Dharamgarh, Jungarh, Bhawanipatna etc. are witnessing rapid agricultural growth. This has boasted the highest number of rice mills in Kalahandi among districts in Odisha. The number of rice mills in the district was around 150 in the year 2004–05. More than 70% have been built in the five years after commissioning of the Indravati project.

Forest resources
Forest based products like Mahua, Kendu leaf, wood, timber and bamboos contribute local economy largely. Kalahandi supplied substantial raw materials to paper mills in neighbouring Rayagada and Jeypore.

Gem stone
Kalahandi was famous for gemstone (Karonda Mandal) in ancient times. Its rich gemstone deposit included cat's eye, sapphire, ruby, garnet, crystal, topaz, moonstone, diamond, tourmaline, acquamarine, beryle, alexandrite, etc. The distribution and occurrence of precious and semi-precious gemstones and other commercial commodities of the region have found place in the accounts of Panini (5th century BC), Kautilya (3rd century BC), Ptolemy (2nd century AD), Wuang Chuang (7th century AD) and Travenier (19th century AD). Until recently, Kalahandi, along with Balangir, supplied gem stones for handicraft work that can be found in Delhi Haat. Jiligndara, near Junagarh of Kalahandi, has one of the largest ruby deposits of Asia as per Geological Survey of India.

Industry
Vedanta Alumina Limited (VAL), a subsidiary of Sterlite Industries, a major aluminium processor has made major investments by establishing a 1 MTPA Alumina Refinery and 75 MW Captive Power Plant at Lanjigarh. Though this project has received criticism from environmentalists, especially from tribals of Niyamgiri; supporters of VAL claims it has brought significant changes in Socio-Economic scenario of Lanjigarh and Kalahandi. The Union Environment Ministry in August 2010, rejected earlier clearances granted to a joint venture led by the Vedanta Group company Sterlite Industries for mining bauxite from Niyamgiri hills making the company to depend on bauxite from outside Odisha. The company's proposal for Expansion of the Refinery to 6 MTPA, which would have made it one of the largest refinery in the world, was halted by India's environment ministry.

Air
Utkela Airstrip (VEUK) is present near the city (22 km) which is scheduled to be operational with daily flights to state capital Bhubaneshwar and Raipur in the coming month of September by private air service provider Air Odisha under UDAN scheme by Ministry of Civil Aviation, Govt. of India. Another one, Lanjigarh Airstrip (FR44733)(58 km) is private airstrip conducting VIP and chartered planes. Swami Vivekananda Airport at Raipur, Chhattisgarh is 262 km away. Biju Patnaik International Airport in the state capital, Bhubaneswar is 427 km away by road and 631 km by rail.

Rail
Bhawanipatna railway station was inaugurated on 12 August 2012. It is situated on Lanjigarh-Junagarh rail line. Currently there are 3 trains (1 express and 2 passengers) running from Bhawanipatna to Bhubaneswar, Raipur and Sambalpur.

Bhawanipatna Bus Stand is one of the biggest bus stand in Odisha present on NH-26. Both Private and Govt. buses are available from here. Bhawanipatna is one of the division of Odisha State Road Transport Corporation (O.S.R.T.C.) that runs Govt. Buses from Bhawanipatna to Bhubaneshwar, Vishakhapatnam, Sambalpur, Berhampur, Cuttack, Jeypore. Private Buses (A/C Sleeper Coaches) provide transportation facility to different cities in Odisha and Raipur, Durg etc. in Chhattisgarh. Newly added taxi facility and auto facility including Biju Gaon Gadi throughout Bhawanipatna and villages nearer to it, is adding an advantage to the transport facility.

Demographics
According to the 2011 census Kalahandi district has a population of 1,576,869, roughly equal to the nation of Gabon or the US state of Idaho. This gives it a ranking of 317th in India (out of a total of 640). The district has a population density of 199 PD/sqkm. Its population growth rate over the decade 2001–2011 was 17.79%. Kalahandi has a sex ratio of 1003 females for every 1000 males, and a literacy rate of 59.22%. 7.74% of the population lives in urban areas. Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes make up 18.17% and 28.50% of the population respectively.

Language
At the time of the 2011 Census of India, 95.22% of the population in the district spoke Odia, 3.40% Kui and 0.85% Hindi as their first language.

The language spoken by the people of Kalahandi is Kalahandia, a dialect of Odia. Minor languages of the district after Odia are Hindi and Kui.

Culture
Kalahandi is a rich land in culture and festivals. Since it is a melting point of southern Odisha and Western Odisha with a substantial tribal population, those living in hills as well as plain land, their culture, tradition, languages and belief along with mainstream Hindu culture have made Kalahandi region rich with culture and festivals. The mixture of Aryan and tribal culture makes Kalahandi region rich in its culture and festivals. In pre-independence period Kalahandi was largely inspired to Saivaism, Vaishanivism and Shakti puja. Shakti Puja is largely accepted among tribal, perhaps due to which Kalahandi was well known for celebrating Shati Puja. However, affect induction of Kalahandi as part of Odisha state, dominance of coastal Oriya culture in the state is increasingly influencing the local culture. Celebration of Rathajatra and construction of Jaggannath temple in Kalahandi has been increasingly realised unlike in old days of Radha Krishna temple.

Local custom
The majority of the population are Hindu, a small minority being Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist and Jain. 28% of the population are tribal people which has the majority of the impact on the local customaries and influenced the dialect.

Art & craft
Literally 'Kalahandi' means 'pot of arts'. This name has been possibly derived from "Gudahandi Caves" containing pre-historic paintings in red and black colours. Kalahandi is a rich land in terms of art and craft. Stone from Kalahandi is well known to make jewellery. Habasipuri pattern is well established in handloom Saree. Wood craft from Khaipadar is famous for export and domestic market.

Dance & music
Kalahandi has the wide varieties of dance forms comprising tribal and non-tribal dance. Among the districts level in Odisha, it has the maximum dance form. Overall Kalahandi life is associated with music and dance. Some of the dance found in Kalahandi such as Dalkhai, Jaiphula, Rasarkeli, Sajani etc. have similarities with the dance form in Balangir, Sambalpur, etc. regions whereas Sari song, Pholia song, song related to nature etc. has similarities with Koraput region. However, Boria song, Nialimali, Kalakolik etc. mostly found in Kalahandi. On the other hand, Ghumura, Madali, Dandari, Dhab, Bajasalia etc. folk form found in Kalahandi can be composed songs.

Ghumura dance is the most sought folk dance in Kalahandi. It is classified as folk dance as the dress code of Ghumura resembles more like a tribal dance, but recent researchers argue different mudra and dance form present in Ghumura bear more resemblance with other classical dance form of India. The timeline of Ghumura dance is not clear. Many researchers claim it was a war dance in ancient India and used by Ravana in Ramayana. Ghumura dance is depicted in Sun Temple of Konark confirming this dance form is since the medieval period. Ghumura dance has evolved from a war dance to a dance form for cultural and social activities. The dance is associated with social entertainment, relaxation, love, devotion and friendly brotherhood among all class, creed and religion in the present days. Traditionally this dance is also associated with Nuakhai and Dasahara celebration in Kalahandi and large parts of south western Odisha. Ghumura dance is still hidden in the village level in south western Odisha and some parts of bordering Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Kalahandi region has taken a leading rule in popularising and retaining its unique identity of Ghumura dance. Ghumura dance has got the opportunity to represent the nation in international events Delhi, Moscow, and other places.

Education
Through the Western Odisha Development Council, the state government has been initiated a private medical college with a tie up with one South India based organisation in Junagarh block of Kalahandi since 2004, admissions took place in 2013 September later which was closed in 2015 due to inefficiency of proper management. Odisha state Government has announced Government College of Engineering Kalahandi and Agriculture College at Bhawanipatna in 2009 but local demand for a Central University in Kalahandi has not been accomplished. Another Medical College is being proposed State Government by support from Vedanta Alumina Company, Lanjigarh around 100 crores will be given by this private company by some exchange of allotment for Bauxite Mines to that Company by the State. This Medical College was proposed due to a long-standing agitation by the Students' of Sardar Raja Medical College & Hospital led by M Sameer Krishna Reddy and Local People led by Shri Dr A K Nanda, eminent Botany Scholar and politicians Shri Pradipta Naik, Shri Himansu Meher, Shri Bhakta Charan Das, Dharmendra Pradhan, Vasant Panda, Manmohan Samal and K V Singhdeo.

Jockeys' Guild

The Jockeys' Guild Inc. is an American trade association based in Lexington, Kentucky, representing thoroughbred horse racing and American quarter horse professional jockeys. The organization filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors in bankruptcy court in Louisville, Kentucky, on October 12, 2007.

Established in 1940, the organization's founding members consisted of many of the leading jockeys of the day including Eddie Arcaro, Carroll Bierman, Charley Kurtsinger, Johnny Longden, Don Meade, Maurice Peters, Red Pollard, Sam Renick, Harry Richards, Alfred Robertson, and Ray Workman.

The Jockeys' Guild founding board was made up of:
 * Harry Richards - President
 * Lester Balaski - 1st Vice President
 * Eddie Arcaro - 2nd Vice President
 * Raymond Workman - 3rd Vice President
 * Irving Anderson - Treasurer

On February 24, 2001, the Thoroughbred Times published an article captioned 'A debt of remembrance', that told the story of the important work by jockey Tommy Luther, that led to the Guild's creation. The story recounted the influence on Luther, when he was part of the horrific circumstances North American jockeys lived under at the time; fellow jockey Earl "Sandy" Graham was killed while racing at Polo Park Racetrack in Winnipeg, Manitoba in September 1927.

L. Wayne Gertmenian
L. Wayne Gertmenian is a professor of economics at Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Management.

Gertmenian is known for being sued for fraud by the Jockeys' Guild after being ousted as president. The Jockeys' Guild alleged in a civil lawsuit filed that Gertmenian used his consulting firm and another company owned by a family member to embezzle funds from the labor organization's members and the guild health-care plan.

A U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee looking at jockey health and welfare issues was sharply critical of Gertmenian's management of the Jockeys' Guild. Congress had concerns about Gertmenian himself, and his tendency to embellish. Gertmenian's resume includes references that he was chief détente negotiator in the Nixon and Ford administrations, references that could not be confirmed by Congress or the Department of Defense.

Gertmenian also recorded the audio program "Everything's Negotiable".

Jerome Emser

Jerome (or Hieronymus) Emser (March 20, 1477 – November 8, 1527), was a German theologian and antagonist of Martin Luther, was born of a good family at Ulm.

He studied Greek at Tübingen and jurisprudence at Basel, and after acting for three years as chaplain and secretary to Raymond Peraudi, cardinal of Gurk, he began lecturing on classics in 1504 at Erfurt, where Luther may have been among his audience. In the same year he became secretary to Duke George of Albertine Saxony, who, unlike his cousin Frederick the Wise, the elector of Ernestine Saxony, remained the stanchest defender of Roman Catholicism among the princes of northern Germany.

Duke George at this time was bent on securing the canonization of Bishop Benno of Meissen, and at his instance Emser travelled through Saxony and Bohemia in search of materials for a life of Benno, which he subsequently published in German and Latin. In pursuit of the same object he made an unsuccessful visit to Rome in 1510. Meanwhile, he had also been lecturing on classics at Leipzig, but gradually turned his attention to theology and canon law. A prebend at Dresden (1509) and another at Meissen, which he obtained through Duke George's influence, gave him means and leisure to pursue his studies.

At first Emser was on the side of the reformers, but like his patron he desired a practical reformation of the clergy without any doctrinal breach with the past or the church; and his liberal sympathies were mainly humanistic, like those of Erasmus and others who parted company with Luther after 1519. As late as that year Luther referred to him as "Emser noster," but the Leipzig Debate in that year completed the breach between them.

Emser warned his Bohemian friends against Luther, and Luther retorted with an attack on Emser which outdid in scurrility all his polemical writings. Emser, who was further embittered by an attack of the Leipzig students, imitated Luther's violence, and asserted that Luther's whole crusade originated in nothing more than enmity to the Dominicans, Luther's reply was to burn Emser's books along with Leo X's bull of excommunication.

Emser next, in 1521, published an attack on Luther's Appeal to the German Nobility, and eight works followed from his pen in the controversy, in which he defended the Roman doctrine of the Mass and the primacy of the pope. At Duke George's instance he prepared, in 1523, a German translation of Henry VIII's Assertio Septem Sacramentorum contra Lutherum, and criticized Luther's New Testament. He also entered into a controversy with Zwingli. He took an active part in organizing a reformed Roman Catholic Church in Germany, and in 1527 published a German version of the New Testament as a counterblast to Luther's. He died on the 8th of November in that year and was buried at Dresden.

Emser was a vigorous controversialist, and next to Eck the most eminent of the German divines who stood by the old church. But he was hardly a great scholar; the errors he detected in Luther's New Testament were for the most part legitimate variations from the Vulgate, and his own version is merely Luther's adapted to Vulgate requirements.

Emser's crest was a goat's head and Luther delighted in calling him "Bock-Emser" and "Ægoceros".

Khandro Rinpoche

Mindrolling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche (birth name Tsering Paldrön; born August 19, 1967) is a lama in Tibetan Buddhism. Born in Kalimpong, India and the daughter of the late Mindrolling Trichen, Khandro Rinpoche was recognized by Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, 16th Karmapa at the age of two as the reincarnation of the Great Dakini of Tsurphu Monastery, Urgyen Tsomo, who was one of the most well-known female masters of her time. Khandro Urgyen Tsomo was the consort to Khakyab Dorje, 15th Karmapa Lama (1871–1922) and recognised in this Buddhist tradition as an incarnation of Yeshe Tsogyal. Her name is in fact her title, Khandro being Tibetan for dakini and rinpoche an honorific usually reserved for tulkus that means "precious one."

Upbringing, training and role
Mindrolling Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche is a teacher in both the Kagyu and Nyingma schools. She speaks fluent English, Standard Tibetan, and Hindi and has completed a Western education at St. Joseph's Convent, Wynberg Allen School, Mussoorie, and St. Mary's Convent, both in India. She has taught in Europe, North America and Southeast Asia since 1987. She has established and heads the Samten Tse Retreat Center in Mussoorie, India, and she is also resident teacher at Lotus Garden Retreat Center in Virginia, USA. She is also actively involved with the administration of the Mindrolling Monastery in Dehradun, India. Additionally, she is interested in interfaith dialogue and currently sits on the Board of World Religious Leaders for the Elijah Interfaith Institute.

According to Judith Simmer-Brown:"Rinpoche has always been careful not to cast herself as a feminist in the Western sense. One could think that she has been careful in this way for political reasons, but I think it’s more than that. I think she understands something very deep about her Western students: we need to go more deeply, egolessly, into our own gender issues so as not to be ensnared by gender. Then we could embrace our gender and act without the kind of confusion and resentment that usually haunts us. I really learned that from her."

The Principle of Moments

The Principle of Moments is the second solo studio album by the English singer Robert Plant, formerly of Led Zeppelin. It was Plant's second Top 10 album in the US and UK. It also gave him his first solo Top 40 hit with "Big Log". The most popular track on album-oriented rock radio in the US was "Other Arms", which reached number-one on the Billboard Top Tracks chart. Genesis' drummer Phil Collins played drums on five of the album's eight songs (as he did on Pictures at Eleven). On two tracks former Jethro Tull drummer Barriemore Barlow performed and on the closing track, "Big Log", Gerald Woodroffe programmed a Roland TR-808 drum machine.

Like Plant's debut solo studio album, Pictures at Eleven (1982), the songs departed from the hard rock sound of Led Zeppelin. Following the strength of these albums, Plant launched a successful tour in 1983. Phil Collins was the drummer for Plant's band for the North American portion of the tour. Collins was content to perform in the background, despite his own enormous success as a solo artist and with Genesis at the time. Little Feat's Richie Hayward played drums for the remaining dates.

Rhino Entertainment released a remastered edition of the album, with bonus tracks, on 3 April 2007.

Promotional music videos
The music video for "Big Log" was shot at the following locations: Crystal Road, Crystal, Nevada (gas station sequences), the Amargosa Opera House, Death Valley Junction, California (driving and "feather" sequence), Calico School House (Calico Ghost Town) Yermo, California (schoolhouse sequence), Glass Pool Inn, Las Vegas, Nevada (pool sequence). The bar sequence is believed to have been shot at a small bar in Shoshone, California (now the Crow Bar Cafe & Saloon), though this is unconfirmed.

A video for "In the Mood" was also produced.

Tour
In 1983, Robert Plant went on a tour to promote the album, starting on 26 August in Peoria, Illinois, and ending on 1 October in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Abominable Man

The Abominable Man (Den vedervärdige mannen från Säffle, meaning "The abominable man from Säffle") is a 1971 police procedural novel by Swedish writers Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö. It is the seventh book in their series about Martin Beck. The plot follows Martin Beck and his colleagues trying to solve a murder on a senior policeman, known for his brutality against others. While the investigation is ongoing, a well armed man climbs up on a roof in Stockholm.

One of Donald Knuth's favourite novels, he described it as "one of Sjöwall and Wahlöö's brilliantly Swedish detective novels".

Plot
A senior policeman known for brutality is violently knifed while in his hospital bed (in Sabbatsberg Hospital). Within a 24-hour period, Martin Beck investigates the policeman's many enemies in an attempt to identify the killer, for whom the murder was only a precursor to a Charles Whitman-style attack on Stockholm.

Since they cannot find a starting clue, the police go in the archives of the police ombudsman where they find many old complaints about Nyman. They encounter the entry of their former colleague Åke Eriksson; Eriksson's wife was in diabetic coma but she was considered drunk by Nyman and locked in the drunk cell, where she died. Finally, on the roof of a skyscraper in downtown Stockholm, it comes to a showdown with Eriksson, who has lost everything, at which point the novel ends with Martin Beck seriously injured by a gunshot.

Characters and their development
Martin Beck and his now grown-up daughter Ingrid develop their friendship; they eat out together. Police officer Kurt Kvant is killed in this book by the crazed killer on the roof.

Film adaptation
The book was adapted to film in 1976 and directed by Bo Widerberg. It was renamed The Man on the Roof (Mannen på Taket), and stars Carl-Gustaf Lindstedt, Sven Wollter, Thomas Hellberg and Håkan Serner. It was awarded with two Guldbagge Awards.

Category talk:People from Indiana

Scope of category?
I've created an article about Ruth Riley, who was born in Kansas but grew up in Indiana and played high school and college basketball there. I'm not sure whether she's considered to be within this category. I'll leave it to the Wikihoosiers to decide whether to add the category to her bio. JamesMLane 01:39, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Creation of a new subcat
I am going through all the articles in this cat and moving them appropriate sub cats, sorting them by occupation and place of birth or residence. Most are being moved to "People from X county, Indiana" or "People from X, Indiana". A few of these people do not have birth places listed on their articles. I think it would be appropriate to create a sub cat, "People from an indeterminate place in Indiana", or something like that with a better name, and keep that as a temporary place until a more precise place of birth is found. I didn't want to do that without any discussion at all, so does anyone oppose that?
