Stradone, County Cavan

Stradone is a village located in County Cavan, Ireland. It is situated in the civil parish of Laragh (or Larah) six miles from Cavan, near the N3 road between Cavan and Virginia. Stradone is classified as a 'small village' in the Cavan County Council Development Plan 2014-2020.

Location
Stradone is a small village approximately 10 km directly east of Cavan. It is located just off the National Route N3, Dublin to Cavan, where the R165 regional road and L6046 local road converge. It is situated in the Stradone Local Electoral Area.

Cavan County Council estimated a population of approximately 60 persons living within the development boundary of the village.

History
Evidence of ancient settlement in the area includes a number of ringfort sites in the neighbouring townlands of Aghagolrick and Raheelagh.

A large estate house in the area, Stradone House, was built between 1828 and 1835 by architect John Benjamin Keane for the landowning Burrows family. While this burned down in 1921, during the Irish War of Independence and was subsequently demolished, a number of surrounding buildings (including stables and a gate lodge) remain.

Amenities
The main focus of the village is Duke Park football pitch (home to Laragh United Gaelic Football Club) and the Stradone Community Centre, which contains a playschool, gym and shop. There is no school or church within the village boundary (these are located in the nearby Laragh area) and convenience retail is provided by a shop which is located beside "The Cross" public house outside the village. Stradone post office is also located at "The Cross" in Clondargan townland.

Stradone received urban renewal scheme funding in 2004 and this resulted in a village core with street furniture and planting. The bridge over the Stradone River is a feature in the village, as are the village's two water pumps (each dated to c. 1880). The Stradone River contains a Brown Trout Fishery.

The local Garda station, which was built c. 1925, closed at the end of January 2013.

Transport
As of 2013, the village was served on a Tuesday and Thursday by the Bus Éireann Dundalk to Cavan route 166 at 11.22am to Cavan and 1.45pm to Dundalk. Stradone was previously served by the Bus Éireann Cavan to Dublin bus.

Hippocrepis comosa

Hippocrepis comosa, the horseshoe vetch, is a species of perennial flowering plant belonging to the genus Hippocrepis in the family Fabaceae.

Description
The overall appearance depends on its habitat: sometimes it forms upright clumps of flowers; at other times, it sends prostrate leafy runners over a wide area; sometimes it distributes itself as single flowers. The flowers are small, yellow or sometimes orange/red (becoming yellow as they mature), and of typical shape for the family Fabaceae: these appear for a period of two weeks around May..

Propagation
The rate of seed production is variable: relatively low and sometimes negligible seed production. Seedlings remain the predominant method of extending its range. It has a low germination rate in the wild, although this can be improved in nurseries.

Distribution
Hippocrepis comosa is found in the UK, predominantly in the south..

Habitat
Hippocrepis comosa is a calciole (found only on chalk and limestone). It is a hardy plant that survives long periods of cold winters and dry summers years after year. Colonies are not harmed by sheep grazing, and are resistant to moderate trampling; they do not thrive after heavy ploughing or disturbance of the ground. In areas grazed by cattle they disappear, sometimes after several years (depending on grazing intensity.)

Ecology and butterflies
Hippocrepis comosa is the exclusive food plant of the caterpillars of chalkhill blue (Polyommatus coridon) and Adonis blue (Polyommatus bellargus) butterflies. Populations that support such butterflies occur on longstanding ungrazed meadows, quarries, edges of paths and wasteland; outside of southern England and the Midlands (e.g. the Gower and Yorkshire populations) the climate is unsuitable for the butterflies.

Re-establishment of a colony of H. comosa is best attempted by planting individual plants: direct sowing has poor rates of success. Even this however offers no guarantee of a permanent colony (within a period as long as 20 years) and even less likelihood that the new plants will be used by significant populations of chalkhill blue butterflies within another 50 years.

Dominic Purcell

Dominic Haakon Myrtvedt Purcell (born 17 February 1970) is a British-born Australian actor. He is best known for his portrayals of Lincoln Burrows in Fox's Prison Break (2005–2009; 2017), Mick Rory / Heat Wave in The CW's The Flash (2014–2016) and Legends of Tomorrow (2016–2021), as well as Drake / Dracula in Blade: Trinity (2004). He is also known for his role as Lewis "Lew" Brookbank in the 2004 film Three Way.

Early life
Purcell was born in Birkenhead, Cheshire (now Merseyside), England. He is the son of Phil Myrtvedt and Maureen (née Clarke) Purcell. His mother was Irish and his father was of Norwegian and English descent. In 1972, he and his family moved to Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, initially living in Bondi before settling in Penrith. He attended St Joseph's Kingswood, St Finbar's Glenbrook Primary School and Blaxland High School, as well as St Dominic's College and McCarthy Catholic College, Emu Plains.

He later attended the Australian Theatre for Young People and then enrolled at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, where he studied with Hugh Jackman. He holds triple British-Irish-Australian citizenship, being British by virtue of being born in the United Kingdom before the country abolished unconditional birthright citizenship in 1983, being Irish automatically through his mother and Australian via naturalisation.

Personal life
Purcell was married to Rebecca Williamson from 1998 until 2008, during which time the couple had four children.

In 2011, Purcell started dating former 90210 actress AnnaLynne McCord; in 2014, the couple announced an amicable split, though they rekindled their romance a year later. McCord told People Magazine she came back into his life as a friend when the actor was diagnosed with skin cancer, but the relationship soon turned romantic again. In January 2018, McCord ended the relationship. However, on 25 September 2020, Purcell confirmed on Instagram that they had rekindled their relationship.

In November 2022, he started dating Tish Cyrus, who is the mother of Brandi, Trace, Noah, and Miley Cyrus. The couple publicly announced their engagement via a post on Instagram in April 2023. They married in August 2023 in Malibu, California.

On 1 June 2016, Purcell suffered severe injuries on set in Morocco, after a misplaced iron bar used as a Prison Break season 5 set piece fell on his head. He was immediately airlifted from Ouarzazate to Casablanca, where he received emergency treatment for nasal fractures and various other injuries.

Kramers–Kronig relations

The Kramers–Kronig relations, sometimes abbreviated as KK relations, are bidirectional mathematical relations, connecting the real and imaginary parts of any complex function that is analytic in the upper half-plane. The relations are often used to compute the real part from the imaginary part (or vice versa) of response functions in physical systems, because for stable systems, causality implies the condition of analyticity, and conversely, analyticity implies causality of the corresponding stable physical system. The relation is named in honor of Ralph Kronig and Hans Kramers. In mathematics, these relations are known by the names Sokhotski–Plemelj theorem and Hilbert transform.

Formulation
Let $$\chi(\omega) = \chi_1(\omega) + i \chi_2(\omega)$$ be a complex function of the complex variable $$\omega$$, where $$\chi_1(\omega)$$ and $$\chi_2(\omega)$$ are real. Suppose this function is analytic in the closed upper half-plane of $$\omega$$ and tends to $$0$$ as $$|\omega| \to \infty$$. The Kramers–Kronig relations are given by $$\chi_1(\omega) = \frac{1}{\pi} \mathcal{P}\!\!\int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{\chi_2(\omega')}{\omega' - \omega}\,d\omega'$$ and $$\chi_2(\omega) = -\frac{1}{\pi} \mathcal{P}\!\!\int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{\chi_1(\omega')}{\omega' - \omega}\,d\omega',$$ where $$\omega$$ is real and where $$\mathcal{P}$$ denotes the Cauchy principal value. The real and imaginary parts of such a function are not independent, allowing the full function to be reconstructed given just one of its parts.

Derivation
The proof begins with an application of Cauchy's residue theorem for complex integration. Given any analytic function $$\chi$$ in the closed upper half-plane, the function $$\omega' \mapsto \chi(\omega') / (\omega' - \omega)$$, where $$\omega$$ is real, is analytic in the (open) upper half-plane. The residue theorem consequently states that $$ \oint \frac{\chi(\omega')}{\omega' - \omega}\,d\omega' = 0 $$ for any closed contour within this region. When the contour is chosen to trace the real axis, a hump over the pole at $$\omega' = \omega$$, and a large semicircle in the upper half-plane. This follows decomposition of the integral into its contributions along each of these three contour segments and pass them to limits. The length of the semicircular segment increases proportionally to $$|\omega'|$$, but the integral over it vanishes in the limit because $$\frac{\chi(\omega')}{\omega' - \omega}$$ vanishes faster than $$1 / |\omega'|$$. We are left with the segments along the real axis and the half-circle around the pole. We pass the size of the half-circle to zero and obtain $$ 0 = \oint \frac{\chi(\omega')}{\omega' - \omega}\,d\omega' = \mathcal{P}\!\!\int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{\chi(\omega')}{\omega' - \omega}\,d\omega' - i \pi \chi(\omega). $$

The second term in the last expression is obtained using the theory of residues, more specifically, the Sokhotski–Plemelj theorem. Rearranging, we arrive at the compact form of the Kramers–Kronig relations: $$ \chi(\omega) = \frac{1}{i \pi} \mathcal{P}\!\!\int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{\chi(\omega')}{\omega' - \omega}\,d\omega'. $$

The single $$i$$ in the denominator effectuates the connection between the real and imaginary components. Finally, split $$\chi(\omega)$$ and the equation into their real and imaginary parts to obtain the forms quoted above.

Physical interpretation and alternate form
The Kramers–Kronig formalism can be applied to response functions. In certain linear physical systems, or in engineering fields such as signal processing, the response function $$\chi(t-t')$$ describes how some time-dependent property $$P(t)$$ of a physical system responds to an impulse force $$F(t')$$ at time $$t'.$$ For example, $$P(t)$$ could be the angle of a pendulum and $$F(t)$$ the applied force of a motor driving the pendulum motion. The response $$\chi(t-t')$$ must be zero for $$t < t'$$ since a system cannot respond to a force before it is applied. It can be shown (for instance, by invoking Titchmarsh's theorem) that this causality condition implies that the Fourier transform $$\chi(\omega)$$ of $$\chi(t)$$ is analytic in the upper half plane. Additionally, if the system is subjected to an oscillatory force with a frequency much higher than its highest resonant frequency, there will be almost no time for the system to respond before the forcing has switched direction, and so the frequency response $$\chi(\omega)$$ will converge to zero as $$\omega$$ becomes very large. From these physical considerations, it results that $$\chi(\omega)$$ will typically satisfy the conditions needed for the Kramers–Kronig relations.

The imaginary part of a response function describes how a system dissipates energy, since it is in phase with the driving force. The Kramers–Kronig relations imply that observing the dissipative response of a system is sufficient to determine its out of phase (reactive) response, and vice versa.

The integrals run from $$-\infty$$ to $$\infty$$, implying we know the response at negative frequencies. Fortunately, in most physical systems, the positive frequency-response determines the negative-frequency response because $$\chi(\omega)$$ is the Fourier transform of a real-valued response $$\chi(t)$$. We will make this assumption henceforth.

As a consequence, $$\chi(-\omega) = \chi^*(\omega)$$. This means $$\chi_1(\omega)$$ is an even function of frequency and $$\chi_2(\omega)$$ is odd.

Using these properties, we can collapse the integration ranges to $$[0,\infty)$$. Consider the first relation, which gives the real part $$\chi_1(\omega)$$.  We transform the integral into one of definite parity by multiplying the numerator and denominator of the integrand by $$\omega' + \omega$$ and separating: $$ \chi_1(\omega) = {1 \over \pi} \mathcal{P}\!\! \int_{-\infty}^\infty {\omega' \chi_2(\omega') \over \omega'^2 - \omega^2}\, d\omega' + {\omega \over \pi} \mathcal{P}\!\! \int_{-\infty}^\infty {\chi_2(\omega') \over \omega'^2 - \omega^2}\,d\omega'. $$

Since $$\chi_2(\omega)$$ is odd, the second integral vanishes, and we are left with $$\chi_1(\omega) = {2 \over \pi} \mathcal{P}\!\! \int_0^\infty {\omega' \chi_2(\omega') \over \omega'^2 - \omega^2}\,d\omega'.$$

The same derivation for the imaginary part gives $$\chi_2(\omega) = -{2 \over \pi} \mathcal{P}\!\! \int_0^\infty {\omega \chi_1(\omega') \over \omega'^2 - \omega^2}\,d\omega' = -{2 \omega \over \pi} \mathcal{P}\!\! \int_0^\infty {\chi_1(\omega') \over \omega'^2 - \omega^2}\,d\omega'.$$

These are the Kramers–Kronig relations in a form that is useful for physically realistic response functions.

Related proof from the time domain
Hu and Hall and Heck give a related and possibly more intuitive proof that avoids contour integration. It is based on the facts that:

Combining the formulas provided by these facts yields the Kramers–Kronig relations. This proof covers slightly different ground from the previous one in that it relates the real and imaginary parts in the frequency domain of any function that is causal in the time domain, offering an approach somewhat different from the condition of analyticity in the upper half plane of the frequency domain.
 * A causal impulse response can be expressed as the sum of an even function and an odd function, where the odd function is the even function multiplied by the sign function.
 * The even and odd parts of a time domain waveform correspond to the real and imaginary parts of its Fourier integral, respectively.
 * Multiplication by the sign function in the time domain corresponds to the Hilbert transform (i.e. convolution by the Hilbert kernel $$1 / \pi \omega$$) in the frequency domain.

An article with an informal, pictorial version of this proof is also available.

Magnitude (gain)–phase relation
The conventional form of Kramers–Kronig above relates the real and imaginary part of a complex response function. A related goal is to find a relation between the magnitude and phase of a complex response function.

In general, unfortunately, the phase cannot be uniquely predicted from the magnitude. A simple example of this is a pure time delay of time T, which has amplitude 1 at any frequency regardless of T, but has a phase dependent on T (specifically, phase = 2π × T × frequency).

There is, however, a unique amplitude-vs-phase relation in the special case of a minimum phase system, sometimes called the Bode gain–phase relation. The terms Bayard–Bode relations and Bayard–Bode theorem, after the works of Marcel Bayard (1936) and Hendrik Wade Bode (1945) are also used for either the Kramers–Kronig relations in general or the amplitude–phase relation in particular, particularly in the fields of telecommunication and control theory.

Complex refractive index
The Kramers–Kronig relations are used to relate the real and imaginary portions for the complex refractive index $$\tilde{n} = n+i\kappa$$ of a medium, where $$\kappa$$ is the extinction coefficient. Hence, in effect, this also applies for the complex relative permittivity and electric susceptibility.

The Sellmeier equation is directly connected to the Kramer-Kronig relations, and is used to approximate real and complex refractive index of materials far away from any resonances.

Circular birefringence
In optical rotation, the Kramers–Kronig relations establish a connection between optical rotary dispersion and circular dichroism.

Magneto-optics
Kramers–Kronig relations enable exact solutions of nontrivial scattering problems, which find applications in magneto-optics.

Ellipsometry
In ellipsometry, Kramer-Kronig relations are applied to verify the measured values for the real and complex parts of the refractive index of thin films.

Electron spectroscopy
In electron energy loss spectroscopy, Kramers–Kronig analysis allows one to calculate the energy dependence of both real and imaginary parts of a specimen's light optical permittivity, together with other optical properties such as the absorption coefficient and reflectivity.

In short, by measuring the number of high energy (e.g. 200 keV) electrons which lose a given amount of energy in traversing a very thin specimen (single scattering approximation), one can calculate the imaginary part of permittivity at that energy. Using this data with Kramers–Kronig analysis, one can calculate the real part of permittivity (as a function of energy) as well.

This measurement is made with electrons, rather than with light, and can be done with very high spatial resolution. One might thereby, for example, look for ultraviolet (UV) absorption bands in a laboratory specimen of interstellar dust less than a 100 nm across, i.e. too small for UV spectroscopy. Although electron spectroscopy has poorer energy resolution than light spectroscopy, data on properties in visible, ultraviolet and soft x-ray spectral ranges may be recorded in the same experiment.

In angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy the Kramers–Kronig relations can be used to link the real and imaginary parts of the electrons self-energy. This is characteristic of the many body interaction the electron experiences in the material. Notable examples are in the high temperature superconductors, where kinks corresponding to the real part of the self-energy are observed in the band dispersion and changes in the MDC width are also observed corresponding to the imaginary part of the self-energy.

Hadronic scattering
The Kramers–Kronig relations are also used under the name "integral dispersion relations" with reference to hadronic scattering. In this case, the function is the scattering amplitude. Through the use of the optical theorem the imaginary part of the scattering amplitude is then related to the total cross section, which is a physically measurable quantity.

Electron scattering
Similarly to Hadronic scattering, the Kramers–Kronig relations are employed in high energy electron scattering. In particular, they enter the derivation of the Gerasimov–Drell–Hearn sum rule.

Geophysics
For seismic wave propagation, the Kramer–Kronig relation helps to find right form for the quality factor in an attenuating medium.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
The Kramers-Kronig test is used in battery and fuel cell applications (dielectric spectroscopy) to test for linearity, causality and stationarity. Since, it is not possible in practice to obtain data in the whole frequency range, as the Kramers-Kronig formula requires, approximations are necessarily made.

At high frequencies (> 1 MHz) it is usually safe to assume, that the impedance is dominated by ohmic resistance of the electrolyte, although inductance artefacts are often observed.

At low frequencies, the KK test can be used to verify whether experimental data are reliable. In battery practice, data obtained with experiments of duration less than one minute usually fail the test for frequencies below 10 Hz. Therefore, care should be exercised, when interpreting such data.

In electrochemistry practice, due to the finite frequency range of experimental data, Z-HIT relation is used instead of Kramers-Kronig relations. Unilke Kramers-Kronig (which is written for an infinite frequency range), Z-HIT integration requires only a finite frequncy range. Furthermore, Z-HIT is more robust with respect to error in the Re and Im of impedance, since its accuracy depends mostly on the accuracy of the phase data.

User:Mamawrites/ProposalForMoreProminentDisclaimerLink

I propose that Wikipedia include a new link in its navigation menu to the page Who writes Wikipedia. My primary concern is the potential for schoolchildren to assume that all Wikipedia entries are of equally high quality. This link documents the popularity of Wikipedia among kids: Alexa's Most Popular in Kids and Teens Category. This MSNBC news article discusses how uncritically the typical student entering college approaches research: Colleges look to test internet IQ.

Given the comments by Nowither at the old proposal about changing the Wikipedia tagline, I don't just want a link to a disclaimer, which is written in legalese, but to an educational statement written in simple language. I posted my draft comments at Who writes Wikipedia on August 23, 2005. Please edit if you have suggestions for improvements!

Notes from Nowhither
Mamawrites, on my talk page, you proposed collaborating here on a draft of "Who writes Wikipedia". I'm all for it.

So, to begin with, we have your ideas above:
 * A. "why the quality of entries in the Wikipedia are likely to vary"
 * B. "suggestions about how to investigate whether a particular entry gives reliable information"

And we have my ideas:
 * C. "who writes Wikipedia"
 * D. "what approval processes an article needs to go through to be published in it"

It looks like ideas A and D can be covered together, and I would say that idea B should be covered last, since it is basically about what the reader can/should do next.

... and now I've been sitting here for 15 minutes trying to think of what to write next. So I'll just submit what I've written and come back to this later. :-)

— Nowhither 10:58, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Here's a dilemma
A week or two ago, User:IMSoP removed the link I had placed to Wikipedia:Who writes Wikipedia within the Wikipedia encyclopedia entry, with this remark: it's a self-reference in the sense that it refers to community/project info, not another encyclopedia article; see Avoid self-references

Since then, someone has added it back (was it you, Sitearm?) but I am reluctant to move forward with a Proposal about making a link to this page in the navigation box until I figure out how to deal with this issue.

Should I have created the page at Who writes Wikipedia instead of in the Wikipedia: namespace? Mamawrites 11:24, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Arthur Ashe Boulevard

Arthur Ashe Boulevard (also referred to as "the Boulevard") is a historic street in the near the West End of Richmond, Virginia, providing access to Byrd Park. It serves as the border between the Carytown/Museum District to the west and the Fan district to the east. Attempts were made to rename the street after Arthur Ashe, a tennis star and social activist who was born and grew up in Richmond, but previous attempts failed until February 2019 when Richmond City Council voted in favor of changing the name to Arthur Ashe Boulevard. Near the south end is Richmond's Boulevard Bridge (commonly called the "Nickel Bridge", in reference to its historical initial toll) across the James River. Arthur Ashe Boulevard intersects with main arteries Cary Street, Main Street, Monument Avenue, Broad Street (where the Historic District ends), Leigh Street, and Interstate 64/95, and terminates at Hermitage Road. The Diamond is located on Arthur Ashe Boulevard. The intersection of Arthur Ashe Boulevard and Monument Avenue featured a statue of Stonewall Jackson.

Arthur Ashe Boulevard is designated as State Route 161, a route promoted in the 1940s and 1950s as an alternate bypass route before the Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike and Interstate 95 were built, connecting with U.S. Route 1 north and south of downtown Richmond.

In 2019 American artist Kehinde Wiley's outdoor sculpture Rumors of War was erected adjacent to Arthur Ashe Boulevard. It is part of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts permanent art collection. It stands between the museum and the United Daughters of the Confederacy headquarters. The sculpture was created by Wiley as a response to the J.E.B. Stuart monument and the other Confederate equestrian statues on Monument Avenue, all of which have since been removed by the city.

Lake Eyasi

Lake Eyasi (Ziwa Eyasi; formerly Njarasasee, "Njarasa Lake", and Hohenlohesee, "Hohenlohe Lake") is a lake located in Karatu District of Arusha Region in north Tanzania. Lake Eyasi is the largest body of water in Arusha region. It is a seasonal shallow endorheic salt lake on the floor of the Great Rift Valley at the base of the Serengeti Plateau, just south of the Serengeti National Park and immediately southwest of the Ngorongoro Crater in the Crater Highlands of Tanzania. The lake is elongated, orientated southwest to northeast, and lies in the Eyasi-Wembere branch of the Great Rift Valley.

The principal inflow is the Sibiti River, which enters the southwestern end. The river may continue to flow somewhat year round, at least in wetter years; the other inflows are all seasonal. The second largest inflow is the Baray, at the northeast. The water carried by the Baray has increased in recent years due to deforestation of the Crater Highlands. The southwest flank of Mount Oldeani, one of the Ngorongoro volcanos, drains directly into the northeast end of the lake. Flow from the Budahaya / Udahaya River, which drains into the Yaeda Swamp to the southeast of the lake, was once second, but has decreased due to water diversion in the Mbulu Highlands. Water flow from the Serengeti is minor; the largest stream is the Sayu.

Seasonal water level fluctuations in the lake are dramatic, though the northwestern shore is constrained by the cliffs of the Serengeti Plateau. During the dry season the lake may dry up almost entirely, especially in drier years, so that Datooga herders and Hadza foragers will cross the lake on foot, but in El Niño years it may flood its banks and attract hippopotamus from the Serengeti. It is a seasonal stop for migrating flamingos. The lake supports minor local fishing in wet years, but more often catfish and lungfish are taken from the streams and springs that feed the lake. Even during wet periods, lake depths typically remain less than one metre.

The Hadza are the indigenous inhabitants of the lake. They are found along most of the perimeter, though camps are few along most of the Serengeti, which is Maasai territory. The Datooga inhabit the Yaeda Valley to the southeast, the Isanzu the south, and the Sukuma across the Sibiti River in the southwest. The Iraqw traditionally lived on the other side of Yaeda, but have come in increasing numbers to the Baray, which is now the primary onion-growing region of East Africa.

Mumba Cave is an archaeological site that is located by the shores of Lake Eyasi. The site has yielded a number of Middle Stone Age and Late Stone Age artifacts.

John Waterbury

John Waterbury is an American academic and former president of the American University of Beirut.

Early years
Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Waterbury attended Princeton University (BA 1961), studied Arabic at the American University of Cairo (1961–62), and got his PhD in political science in 1968 at Columbia University. He went on to the University of Michigan as assistant professor of political science.

Career
In 1971 he joined the American Universities Field Staff, a consortium of American Universities, which he represented in Cairo from 1971 to 1977. His monographs for AUFS were tops among his contemporaries and he became a leading source about life and politics in Egypt for academic and government specialists for half-a-decade.. The quality of these publications led directly to his appointment at the W.Wilson School of Public and International Affairs cited below. In the winter of 1972, he was a visiting professor at the AUFS facility in Rome. During 1977-78 he was visiting professor at the University of Aix-Marseille III in France.

He was then, for nearly twenty years, professor of politics and international affairs at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He specialized in the political economy of the developing countries with a special focus on the Middle East. He was director of Princeton's Center of International Studies and editor of the academic journal World Politics from 1992 to 1998.

In 1998, Waterbury became the 14th president of the American University of Beirut, a post he held until 2008. He was the first president to reside in Beirut since 1984. During his tenure at AUB, Waterbury sought to restore the university to its long-standing place and reputation as an institution of higher learning meeting the highest international standards. AUB offered Waterbury an Honorary Doctorate during his last commencement exercises at the university in recognition of his achievements. University of Chicago Egyptologist Peter Dorman succeeded him as the 15th president of AUB on July 1, 2008.

He is now a Global Professor of Political Science in New York University (Abu Dhabi).

Chelsea F.C.-Manchester United F.C. rivalry
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am interested in re-creating Chelsea-Manchester United rivalry article, which was deleted by you. I wanted to know why it was deleted and if I can re-create it again with reliable sources?

Thank You! AkephalostheHeadless (talk) 19:07, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Please provide a link.  Sandstein   19:25, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Articles for deletion/Chelsea F.C.–Manchester United F.C. rivalry. Quite old (2012) now, though I doubt if much has changed in the meantime. Black Kite (talk) 12:58, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Saira Shah Halim
Hi, can you get the article version that was deleted in the recent AfD into draft form? There was a lot of information there. MrMkG (talk) 05:07, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I don't undelete articles, but you can ask at WP:REFUND.  Sandstein   07:16, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I looked at the page and I can see respondents just saying "Requests for Undeletion process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially, and does not apply to articles deleted after a deletion discussion." which is what I assume will happen here.
 * Even though the the page introduction says post deletion discussion pages can also be granted. But the process that I have witnessed till now, when a perfectly good article got deleted on such flimsy grounds which then no one sought to address properly, there is going to be a snowball's chance in hell that this will be granted.
 * It's fine you dont have to do anything but don't guide me down a dead end. I just have one question now, say hypothetically this person gets elected later or gets even more coverage at some time (although I am assuming no amount of coverage is sufficient if what is already there isn't), the article would never be created again since it is locked now. How does that work? MrMkG (talk) 19:14, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * WP:AFC is an option.  Sandstein   19:16, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/British Rail DHP1
I was extremely surprised to see this closed as delete. Of those people who actually engaged with the sources one recommended keeping, one (me) suggested keeping or merging and one recommended deleting or merging. Of those !votes from before the sources were identified all of them are wholly or mostly invalidated by the sources and subsequent discussion of appropriate merge or redirect targets. I genuinely don't understand how you can state that there is nothing to merge, or that most of the sources are primary (3 of the five I found, and the coverage Andy Dingley mentions are secondary). Thryduulf (talk) 17:10, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

 * That's one way to look at it - another is that in three weeks, your sources convinced only one out of three subsequent commenters. So I don't think that the earlier "delete" opinions are necessarily invalidated.  Sandstein   20:50, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Yes, unfortunately it's a typical one in this area - a lot of obscure machinery was built in the 1960s. This locomotive definitely did exist (there are at least four different images of it on the net, original drawings exist, and railway model makers have even produced models of it), but you try finding a reliable source with reliable information - even the sites that do talk about it can't even agree on its power units (four 375hp engines? two 750hp engines? Who knows?).  That said, there's enough out there for at least a redirect to one of the targets mentioned in the AfD. Black Kite (talk) 12:58, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * There has never been any credible disagreement over the engine number and power. The class 17 used a pair of untried 750 bhp Paxman engines, and had many problems with them. DHP 1 used Rolls-Royce engines from the outset and these just weren't of that size, only half of it. This isn't because of any issue with Paxman, but because of its connections to Fell and the Yorkshire Taurus (which already used R-R) . If anything, DHP 1 is more of a Taurus on bogies to make it a road switcher, rather than the canard of it being a 'hydraulic 17'. The reports of DHP 1 having two 750 bhp engines are entirely wrong, based on assumptions that it was simply a 17 with a changed transmission. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:44, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
 * In what way are comments stating that the existence is unverifiable and that there are no sources not invalidated by the existence of multiple independent sources? Whether those sources demonstrate notability (sufficient for an article or to merge the content) is something reasonable people can disagree on, but unless and until they actually opine on the sources you can't say one way or the other.
 * Of the people who commented post-sources being presented, one is irrelevant as they clearly didn't even look at the sources (ADifferentMan), oaktreeb is unconvinced of standalone notabliity but expressed no opinion regarding a merge, the nom vaguely suggested delete or merge (which was actually a much stronger argument than their nomination) and Andy Dingley recommended a straight keep with a comment about additional sources (the strongest argument since mine). That's not consensus for deletion. Thryduulf (talk) 13:48, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I'd assumed that Sandstein went with delete here just because I'd gone for keep. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:31, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Re-creating deleted categories
What is the rule about re-creating deleted categories? I may want to re-create some just for my own use, so I am OK with them being deleted again and won't vote to keep them. Davidgoodheart (talk) 18:14, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I'm not very familiar with categorization. Generally I assume the rules are the same as with articles. Also, categories are not for any one person's use, but for all editors and readers.  Sandstein   22:19, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Close
Hello, thanks for reviewing the deletion request for Articles for deletion/Olives and olive trees in Israel and Judaism. Can you please clarify why did you think there was no consensus to merge? Makeandtoss (talk) 10:29, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Because there were three "merge" opinions (counting the nomination as not disagreeing with a merger) and three "keep" opinions, including two made after the merger proposal.  Sandstein   15:51, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The second keep might have been unfounded since it was made by a non-confirmed user. Third keep was on the condition of merger. Either way closures are not entirely dependent on a headcount, as keep opinions did not demonstrate how this fulfilled WP’s notability guideline relating to significant coverage in RS. Also, it might have been premature as barely two days have passed and consensus had not yet fully formed. I would ask for your kind reconsideration, or at least relisting to get a clearer consensus. Makeandtoss (talk) 16:09, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I disagree; the second "keep" was by a registered user (albeit with a poor rationale), and in any case, even unregistered users can comment in AfDs. The third "keep" did not propose a merger (except that the said that some content shouuld be moved elsewhere). The AfD ran for the full 7 days. Given the number of views expressed, a relisting was not called for. You can continue to propose a merger on the article talk page, which is the proper place for it, not an AfD.

Berrick Salome

Berrick Salome is a village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, England, about 3 mi north of Wallingford. Since the 1992 boundary changes, the parish has included the whole of Roke and Rokemarsh (previously largely in the parish of Benson) and Berrick Prior (previously part of the parish of Newington). The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 326. In 1965, Reginald Ernest Moreau (1897–1970), an eminent ornithologist, and a Berrick Salome resident from 1947, realized that he could build up a picture of the village as it had been in the decades before the First World War, based on the recollections of elderly villagers. His study, which was published in 1968 as The Departed Village: Berrick Salome at the Turn of the Century, also included an introduction to local history. This provided much of the information for "A Village History" which appeared in The Berrick and Roke Millennium Book and is the major source for this article.

Toponym
Berewic is Old English for "barley farm" and Salome is from the surname "Sulham". In the 13th century, Aymar de Sulham held the manor. There is a Britwell Salome about 3 mi to the east, and Sulham is a parish in Berkshire on the River Thames near Reading. Prior: Berrick Prior is the corn farm belonging to the Prior of Canterbury (see below: 'Middle Ages'). Liam Tiller gives early versions of the name as Berewiche (1086) and Berewick (1210, 1258). Moreau quotes later versions found in The Place-names of Oxfordshire, as Berrick Sullame (1571), Berwick Sallome (1737, 1797), and, by the time of the 1863 Inclosure Award, Berrick Salome. In fact, the modern spelling can be found much earlier: the 1830 OS one inch map, reproduced in Ditmas, shows Berwick Salome, though in a smaller typeface than Berwick Prior.

Geography
Berrick seems to have been first settled because it had a reliable source of water. Springs rise to the north-east of the parish at the junction of the Upper Greensand and Gault clay. The most significant of these springs rises near Grove Barn, and is the source of the brook which enters the village along Hollandtide Bottom and flows, culverted in places, past the village pond (which it does not feed) before turning south to run under the forecourt of the Chequers Inn, under the road and across fields, passing east of Lower Berrick Farm and then turning west toward the Thames. Until the mains water was connected in the village, people in the northern part of Berrick drew their water from this brook, outside what is now the Chequers car park, leaning over a railing to scoop the water using what Moreau refers to as a "big dipper" which was kept on the bank there. He also notes that, as late as the 1960s, a resident of Berrick Littleworth could be seen crossing Back Street to draw water from a roadside brook flowing from Hillpit Spring.

Church history
Saint Helen's parish church is about 440 yd east of the Chequers, well away from any houses, and at the dead end of a lane which is the surviving part of Keame's Hedge Way, an ancient track closed in the 19th century as part of the Inclosure process, which joined the east–west route along Hollandtide Bottom just north of the church. Christine Holmes, in Benson: A Village Through its History identifies a "straight Roman road running east from Dorchester along which the churches of Shirburn, Pyrton, Cuxham, Brightwell Baldwin, Berrick Salome and Warborough all lie". This road would have run through Hollandtide Bottom from Berrick to Brightwell. It has been suggested that, when St Helen's was built, there may have been houses grouped around the church, and that the village centre may have moved later to the junction where the track along Hollandtide Bottom meets routes to Chalgrove, Newington, Warborough, and Benson.

It is uncertain when the church was first established in Berrick but the fact that it is dedicated to Saint Helen suggests that it may have been founded (or refounded) in the late eighth century when King Offa of Mercia recaptured the Benson area from Wessex. Holmes writes "St. Helen – an unusual dedication for Oxfordshire but allegedly a favourite of Offa". Apart from Berrick and Benson churches, there is only one in the county dedicated to St Helen, at Albury (near Thame). There is a view, not universally accepted, that parts of the present building, and, in particular, the font, predate the Norman conquest of England. The font has interlacing ornament of a style originating in Northumbria in the early days of English Christianity. The architectural historians, Jennifer Sherwood and Nikolaus Pevsner describe the font as Norman, while Liam Tiller comments, "It is surprising that such a high quality font should be found in such a small rural chapel", and suggests that it may have been brought to Berrick from a larger church, perhaps Chalgrove, at a later date. Also, Moreau observes that Berrick church is not included in the Taylors' comprehensive work on Anglo-Saxon architecture.

Saint Helen's, Berrick has long been a chapelry of St Mary's, Chalgrove, and identical lists of incumbents displayed in both churches show that, at least from the 11th century, the two parishes have always had the same priest, although they have had no common boundary since Berrick Prior was transferred to Newington parish in the reign of King Canute (as explained below). Moreau drew attention to another ecclesiastical oddity in the relationship; the incumbent is Vicar of Chalgrove but Rector of Berrick. He/she lives in the vicarage in Chalgrove, more than 2 mi from Berrick church, and has no rectory in Berrick. The arrangement of boundaries (See below: '18th and 19th centuries') seems to have caused some uncertainty about parish responsibilities so that, in the middle of the 19th century, "Berrick Salome and Roke had been linked under the ministry of an assistant curate from Benson". At that time, as will be seen below, most of the houses in Roke, but only two in Berrick, fell within Benson parish, and in the same period, as Moreau records, there was an unusual protest against the 'discontinuance and stopping', under the Inclosure Award of 1853, of Keame's Hedge Way which provided a short cut for the residents of Roke going to Berrick church.

Also unusual is the story Moreau had from the Treasurer of Christ Church, Oxford, about the intervention, in 1853, by the vicar of Beckley, some 15 mi away, who persuaded Christ Church to buy a plot of land to build a new church at Berrick Littleworth because "the present church at Berwick is very badly situated for the people at Berwick and very far from Roke". No new church for Berrick was built and control of the land, in Berrick parish, was given to the incumbent of Benson until it was sold over a century later. Perhaps the college preferred not to give control to the then Rector of Berrick, the radical Robert French Laurence, for fear that he would use the land to house the poor.

Church building
The church is 65 ft long and the top of the tower is only about 3 ft above the roof of the nave. In 1615, an earlier nave roof was replaced by "one of typical queen-post type with a complex timber truss". In 1676, a wooden gallery was added with dormer windows. "The circular stairway to the gallery at the west end of the central aisle appears to have blocked the doorway to the tower." As there were only 80 'conformists' in Berrick in 1676, the gallery probably provided accommodation for the church choir and band. The names of the churchwardens responsible for both these improvements are recorded on now-faded signs. Sherwood and Pevsner commend the medieval tiles found in the chancel as one of the more notable collections in the county, along with those at Nuffield and Somerton. Saint Helen's has a timber-framed tower, much like that at Drayton St Leonard where there is a "low west tower with a pyramid roof and entirely timber-framed, unusual in Oxfordshire." Waterperry also has a timber-framed tower while Lyford parish church has a wooden bell turret.

"A photograph of Saint Helen's taken just before the restoration in 1890 shows it had then merely been faced with simple weather-boarding carried nearly to the top, where, as now, horizontal apertures were contrived to release the sound of the bells." In 1890, the church was restored under the direction of the architect A. Mardon Mowbray. The Builder magazine criticised the restoration, saying that it "exceeded real necessity", and it was condemned by Sherwood and Pevsner as "a hideous application of all the trappings of fashionable late [19th century] domestic architecture to a church." The tower has a ring of six bells. Henry I Knight of Reading, Berkshire cast the second and fourth bells in 1621. Alexander Rigby of Stamford, Lincolnshire cast the third, fifth and tenor bells in 1692. John Taylor & Sons of Loughborough, Leicestershire cast the treble bell in 1836, presumably at their then foundry in Oxford.

Middle Ages
The Domesday Book values Berewiche (Berrick) at £5 a year, compared with £30 and £15 respectively for the neighbouring parishes of Bensingtone (Benson) and Neutone (Newington). The survey enumerates 4 serfs, 10 villeins and 6 bordars; the total population, including wives and children, was probably between 50 and 70. None of the men in the categories listed are freemen; all are within the hierarchy of serfdom, a modified form of slavery. "Villeins typically held land of their own in the village fields, but conditional on payment of dues and provision of labour to the lord of the Manor, while bordari [bordars or cottars] usually held smaller holdings, or cottages and surrounding plots only and owed heavy labour services obliging them to work on the lord's demesne", and serfs, the lowest category, although they could not be sold as individuals, could be transferred with the land which they worked.

The northern boundary was set in the early 11th century when a manor, bounded to the south by Hollandtide Bottom, was forfeited to King Canute. He gave it to his wife, Emma of Normandy, who passed it to the Prior of Canterbury. Ditmas shows this transfer as occurring in 997, five years before Emma's first marriage, to Æthelred the Unready. As Newington parish was a peculiar of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the manor, which came to be called Berrick Prior, was taken into that parish, as was Britwell Prior, which seems to have been part of the same gift. With its ecclesiastical connection came exemption from the jurisdiction of the Sheriff of Oxfordshire, and, even into the 20th century, it was still referred to, in some directories, as 'the Liberty of Berrick Prior', although 'liberties' had been abolished in the 19th century. The transfer resulted in the northern boundary of Berrick Salome passing through the centre of the village and taking both the village pub and the village pond into Newington parish.

The village boundaries seem to have developed haphazardly from the earliest times and remained complicated even after the Divided Parishes and Poor Law Amendment Act 1882 which, locally, resolved only the position of some distant water meadows and invasive parts of Benson. A county-wide rationalisation in 1931 sorted out 'amongst others a patchwork of detached elements east of the village. Finally, in 1993, the four hamlets were unified within simple boundaries. Outside its eastern boundary, Berrick Salome parish included five exclaves, all beyond the Ewelme-Chalgrove road, in an area where there were also detached parts of both Benson and Ewelme parishes, while the southern boundary used to wind around the houses in Roke and Rokemarsh so that most of the residents were in Benson. Only the western boundary was relatively simple, but even there, the parish had once included water meadows on the River Thame, south-west of Newington and about 2 mi from Berrick. Within the boundaries, there were, in the centre of Berrick, midway between the Chequers and the southern fork, two houses and some plots of land which were detached parts of Benson parish.

18th and 19th centuries
St Helen's parish church is the only significant building and, as the Rev George Villiers A.M., rector from 1722 to 1748, reported to a diocesan visitation in 1738, "there is no family of note". Until the Berrick Salome Inclosure Award was made by the Inclosure Commissioners in 1863, most of the land in the village was still worked on the open field system and there were few enclosed fields. Thomas Newton, who acquired Crowmarsh Battle Farm in 1792, started the move towards enclosure in Berrick. The farm name does not commemorate a local battle; it was recorded in the Domesday Survey "as land of the church of Labatailge [Battle Abbey]". Newton made "his first documented attempt to promote enclosure at Benson in 1807".

Thomas Newton persisted for decades and, in 1827, promoted a Parliamentary Bill which other farmers opposed. The opposition was led by three substantial farmers: John Franklin of Ewelme, Edward Shrubb of Benson and John Hutchings of Berrick Salome; who were all concerned because "the common fields of Benson were so intermixed with those of Berrick and Ewelme that no measure could succeed unless it dealt with all three parishes." The opposition was successful, largely thanks to the work of their lawyer, George Eyre, of another Ewelme farming family. However the Bill was presented again every November at the start of each new parliamentary session, opposed on each occasion, and in November 1830, local farm workers took part in the Swing Riots which, though directed against enclosures, involved Luddite-style machine breaking. Some of the rioters were punished with transportation.

It was not until 1852, after the death of Thomas Newton, that the Inclosure Act for Benson, Berrick Salome and Ewelme was finally passed, and the Inclosure Commissioners then took another 11 years to make their Award. This must have affected nearly half the households in Berrick Salome, but Moreau found no impression that the change had disrupted village life. And the Inclosure Award did provide two great benefits to the villagers. The first was the allotment of 3 acres, 2 roods and 25 poles (about 1.5 hectares) "unto the Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor" of Berrick Salome "to be held by them and their successors in trust as a place for exercise and recreation for the inhabitants." In Moreau's day the annual cricket match was still held on this field. In the 19th century and early 20th century when every Saturday afternoon in the cricket season there was a match and Berrick Salome 'never got beat' (according to one old man interviewed by Moreau in the 1960s). The second was the allocation of 2 acres and 10 perches (about 0.84 hectares) to "the Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor" of Berrick Salome "to be held by them and their successors in trust as an allotment for the labouring poor of the said parish." If his family were not to go hungry, the now landless peasant needed his pig, his garden and his allotment. Until well into the 20th century, few of the rural poor had any employment opportunities other than that as farm labourers.

Another, and less welcome, feature of the Award was the declaration of several dozen traditional roads, ways and tracks (mainly crossing common land) as 'discontinued and stopped'. Writing a century after the Award, Moreau found that resentment of the closure of Keame's Hedge Way was still remembered, and he records that there had been an unsuccessful attempt to keep it open by the curious device of carrying a corpse along the track. It ran south-east from a junction with Hollandtide Bottom, near Church Cottage, past the church, crossing the surviving road to Roke at Berrick Littleworth and emerging in Roke opposite Chapel Lane. While it survived, Keame's Hedge Way provided a more direct and shorter route to church for the residents of Roke. The stretch onwards from Berrick Littleworth remains as a public footpath. Moreau could find no explanation of the name. By the end of the 19th century, rural roads were in poor condition, being poorly maintained by casual labourers who scattered broken stone from local quarries or collected from fields. At that time, steam rollers were not used on rural roads so the loose stones were not compacted into a stable surface. This neglect had a tragic consequence in 1894 when a woman traveller, passing through Berrick, was "killed by falling from a tricycle in consequence of its coming into contact with a large flint." The coroner referred the case to the Watlington Highway Board, with some disapproval.

Rev. Robert French Laurence (1807–85), who was vicar of Chalgrove and Berrick Salome for the last 53 years of his life, was secretary of the local agricultural workers' trades union. He was a social reformer who campaigned for better housing for the agricultural workers and had new thatched cottages built for them in 'the parish' of Chalgrove, presumably, as the vicarage is in that parish. There was, for nearly 30 years, an infant school at Roke, funded by Christ Church, Oxford which held the advowson to the Chalgrove-cum-Berrick living. The school had closed by 1884, after which the infants joined the older children walking to Benson School. Moreau records that boots for that purpose were provided out of Mary White's bequest, a small charitable income left in 1729, to teach reading to the children of the poor in Berrick. Within living memory infant classes were held in the Band Hut.

Moreau recorded five licensed premises selling mainly beer to a local population of about 300 at the turn of the century. Four were within the parish boundaries: The Chequers in Berrick Prior and the Home Sweet Home in Roke were public houses, while the Plough and Harrow in Berrick Salome and The Welcome in Roke were off-licences. The fifth was the Horse and Harrow pub which, although in the centre of Rokemarsh, stood just outside the Berrick parish boundary. There were several small shops and post offices at different times; Moreau records that between 1890 and 1910 four different cottages hosted the Berrick post office. His book includes photos of three of them, one of which is still known as The Old Post Office.

20th century
Moreau reported that, at the turn of the century, an adult 'day man' [full-time adult worker] was paid about 12 shillings a week (60p). He commented that this figure that had not increased much for a long time, but it seems possible that his informants understated the rates of pay. "Around this time agricultural wages in Oxfordshire were some of the lowest in the country, on average 14s 6d (72p) a week in 1902". However, the rapid spread of mechanisation, beginning with the appearance of the first tractors shortly before the First World War, brought about a steady decline in the number of farm labourers. As farms became more mechanised, young men sought other employment. Alison Reid writes "By 1930, the Morris car factories at Cowley, reached by bicycle and later by works bus, attracted workers from places as distant as Benson". By 1938 five residents of Berrick were working at Morris Motors. In 1930, the average weekly pay in the motor industry was £3.16s (£3.80), whereas the base rate of pay for agricultural workers set by the Agricultural Wages (Regulation) Act 1924 was £1 11s 8d (£1.58). Some rode motorcycles and bought their petrol from the shop next to the Chequers which at that time met most of the needs of the villagers.

The village is still surrounded by farmland but, by the end of the century, there was only one working farm left in Berrick – Manor Farm – and that was run by the farmer and his wife. There are six other properties which still bear the names of the little farms which used to occupy their sites. Today the cottages of Berrick Salome are likely to be owned and inhabited by business people or independent professionals. By 1999, none was occupied by a farm worker. After the Second World War, indoor plumbing was introduced. At the turn of the Millennium, according to The Berrick and Roke Millennium Book, there were 18 houses in Berrick Prior, 46 in Berrick Salome, 40 in Roke, and 24 in Rokemarsh. The increase in population may be related to the building of the M40 motorway. The M40 was built from London to Stokenchurch in 1967, and extended through the Vale of Oxford in 1974. Thereafter, London was about an hour's journey away.

Other local trades also declined in the 20th century. As noted above, there were five licensed premises in 1900. The Plough and Harrow (now Plough Cottage) and The Welcome closed early in the century, and the Horse and Harrow closed in 1988 after the death of its last landlord, Jim Austin, only a few years before the parish boundary change moved it into Berrick parish. The building is now a private house but retains the name Horse and Harrow. As Moreau mentions, there was a long series of post offices, and other small shops. The last, which closed in the 1980s, was a combined shop and post office in the annexe of the Chequers. Moreau includes a photo of The Chequers showing the shop fascia board, and a drawing of the same view, by David Gentleman, appears as the heading to Moreau's chapter 12. The former shop and post office is now the pub toilets. Another casualty of the same era was the garage at Woodbine Cottage in Roke, generally remembered only for a single derelict petrol pump that was removed in the 1980s. Janette Baker, now living in Rokemarsh, grew up in Roke, in the bungalow next door to Woodbine Cottage, and recalls passing "the garage" on her way home from the school bus.

Queen Emma's gift had the incidental result of putting the Berrick village pond into Newington parish. In the 1930s, according to Moreau, "the person who had acquired the little properties to the north-east of the pond enclosed it [the pond]" and, although the Berrick villagers objected strongly, only Newington had the right to challenge the enclosure under the Commons Act 1876. Newington apparently took no action. In The Berrick and Roke Millennium Book, the owners of the house provide another view of the event. The three little properties had been combined into one by Alan Franklin in the mid-1930s and were sold to a Mrs Hills in 1936. "Rumour has it that she fenced in the drover's pond. However the Title Deeds quite clearly show the pond was included in the land transferred to her."

Berrick Salome's population increased towards the end of the 20th century. The 1901 Census recorded 103 inhabitants, the 1971 Census recorded 99, but the 1981 Census recorded 152 and the 1991 Census recorded 163. These census figures for both population and household numbers relate only to Berrick Salome parish within its pre-1993 boundaries. Moreau reckoned that "around 1900 there were about 75 households in the whole group of hamlets, 35 of them within the boundaries of Berrick Salome parish" and "when I came to live in Berrick Salome in 1947 there were 28 households strictly within the boundaries of the parish, another 8 just outside them to the north in Berrick Prior, about 11 more in the Benson part of Roke, and 14 in Rokemarsh... 61 altogether". He adds that "one block of three [one-up and one-down] cottages, now [in 1968] occupied by one old lady, is said to have at one time housed twenty people". The number of households increased from 36 in the 1971 Census to 52 in the 1981 Census and to 56 in the 1991 Census.

National Democratic Party (UK, 1966)

The National Democratic Party (NDP) was a right wing political party that operated in the United Kingdom during the 1960s and 1970s. The NDP sought to position itself as an early rival to the National Front although ultimately it failed to challenge the position of this group.

Background
The NDP had existed on paper since the early 1960s as the title was used by Dr David Brown in both the 1964 and 1966 general elections to contest the Ipswich constituency, securing 0.6% and 1.3% of the vote in the respective elections. However this NDP had no existence beyond Brown and it was not until 1966 that a process of formalisation as a proper political party took place.

Formation
In 1966, Brown, who was also the chairman of the Racial Preservation Society, proposed to form the NDP by merging the RPS with John Bean's British National Party. However this did not occur as Bean was put off by Brown insisting that the Greater Britain Movement should be excluded from any alliance and that Brown should be sole leader of the new party. Following this Brown entered negotiations with A.K. Chesterton about using the League of Empire Loyalists as the basis for the NDP but this plan was rejected by Chesterton as once again Brown insisted that leadership should lie with him alone. The National Front, effectively a merger between the BNP, LEL and elements of the RPS under Robin Beauclaire followed soon afterwards, with Brown excluded.

Despite this set back the NDP was established officially in 1966 before the NF although critics, particularly from within the NF, argued that Brown only did so as he could not stand the prospect of serving under A. K. Chesterton. Amongst the leading members of the party upon formation was Leslie Eric 'Lutz' Vaughan who had been associated with the National Socialist Movement's Spearhead paramilitary wing and Column 88.

1970 election
In its early years, the Party expanded through mergers with a number of smaller movements, including the British Defence League, a small group based around ex-Conservative John O'Brien. Another group to join was the Association of British People, a 200 strong group from Birmingham that opted for the NDP after turning down the overtures of the National Front's Martin Webster. This group took the lead in the campaign in the Birmingham Stechford seat where the party won 3.% of the vote in the 1970 general election. In the same election the NDP had managed the largest vote share of any far-right group competing in Southampton Itchen, where it won 21.8% of the votes. Southampton was the seat of the Speaker of the House of Commons however, and traditionally, re-election of the Speaker is unopposed by other major parties. Dr. Brown, meanwhile, won an improved 3.7% vote share in Ipswich, a seat he continued to contest until his final election in February 1974. With only 2.5% of the vote secured for its candidate in Leicester North West, and although the party had attracted some disaffected Conservatives who supported Enoch Powell, there was a general feeling within the NDP that the election had been disappointing for them.

Relationship with NF
O'Brien had already left the NDP to join the NF before the election, although he maintained close links with (Anthony) AFX Baron, whose East Anglia Forum was affiliated to the NDP. Chesterton had long hoped to merge the NF with the NDP, a party that he believed contained less of a loutish element than his own NF, and he felt that O'Brien's appointment as NF chairman would hasten this aim due to O'Brien's good standing with NDP activists.

The party had held informal discussions with the NF about a merger in early 1970, although these came to nothing as the NF fell into upheaval resulting in the removal of Chesterton from the leadership. The issue came back on the agenda with O'Brien as NF leader and certainly the two groups grew closer and the NDP was persuaded to withdraw its proposed candidate from the St Marylebone by-election in 1970 and instead campaign on behalf of the NF's Malcolm Skeggs. A merger was discussed and O'Brien presented such a proposal to the NF Directorate but they refused to endorse the idea. Nonetheless the two groups were able to continue with a closer working relationship and in 1971 leading NDP member Eddie Bray even brought a coachload of party members to Bristol where they joined an NF march in the city. The relationship was not always beneficial, however, such as when the important Manchester branch left en bloc, under the direction of organiser Walter Barton, to join the NF after a particularly rousing speech by O'Brien.

In May 1971 Eddie Bray stood as a candidate in the Southampton Itchen by-election. In the seat where the party had performed well in the previous general election the NDP once again made a good showing with Bray winning over 7.5% of the vote and finishing ahead of the Liberal Party candidate.

Final years
The NDP was weakened when O'Brien left the NF and joined the National Independence Party rather than bringing his followers back to the NDP. O'Brien left the NF because of John Tyndall and Martin Webster's neo-Nazi links The party tried to carry on but it became less and less significant. The emergence of other outlets for the populist tendency of the far right, such as the National Party, meant that support for the NDP disappeared. Towards the end of its life the NDP attempted to forge links with rightist groups associated with the Conservative Party such as the Conservative Monday Club and the Anglo-Rhodesia Society, although the party was gone by the late 1970s. Around this time future Tory MP Piers Merchant was a member of the party.

The NDP was not connected to the National Democrats, which was an attempt by the NF to change its name. This resulted in a split in the NF.

Piedmont Atlanta Hospital

Piedmont Atlanta Hospital is a 643 bed, non-profit hospital located at 1968 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, Georgia.

History
Piedmont was established in 1905 as the Piedmont Sanitarium, the successor to Amster's private sanitorium, in the former mansion of Charles Thomas Swift of S.S.S. Tonic. The mansion was located at the northwest corner of Capitol and Crumley streets in the then-affluent Washington-Rawson neighborhood. The name was changed to Piedmont Hospital and eventually the hospital took up an entire square block. The Washington-Rawson neighborhood was razed in the early 1960s to make way for Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium and its parking lots; now the site is part of the large Center Parc Stadium parking lot.
