Love Stinks (film)

Love Stinks is a 1999 American black comedy film written and directed by Jeff Franklin and starring French Stewart, Bridgette Wilson, Bill Bellamy and Tyra Banks.

Plot
Seth, a wealthy sitcom writer-producer with an Elvis fixation, meets Chelsea, an interior decorator, at his best friend Larry's wedding. He's sexually attracted to her while she's equally attracted to his wealth, charisma, and single-ness. They both ditch their wedding dates and start their own date that same night.

Advised by the bride Holly how she entrapped Larry into marriage, Chelsea tells Seth she has one rule: she won't have sex with a man until they have shared at least three meals. Seth proceeds to speed date through the evening so they actually do eat three meals. Serving Seth an ultimatum, Chelsea offers to sleep with him, but first demands complete exclusivity. Seth panics, but they are then seen having wild sex in the showroom of Chelsea's job.

Although they are a couple, Seth is pathologically terrified of marriage. Chelsea, in the other hand, is obsessed with getting married, while also short-tempered and manipulative.

She tells him she loves him after only four weeks. When Seth doesn't immediately reciprocate, Chelsea explodes and nearly ends things. Panicking again, Seth says he loves her. She then uses her beloved cat Gracie's disappearance as an excuse to move in with Seth, but Gracie reappears a few days later.

On a Valentine's Day getaway, Seth gives Chelsea jewelry when she expects a proposal. He insists it's far too early to consider getting married. An infuriated Chelsea disagrees, so Seth promises to propose in one year if things feel right.

Over the next year, Seth and Chelsea fight constantly, then reconcile with wild make-up sex. On Valentine's Day, Chelsea is expecting a proposal and is apoplectic when Seth gives her diamond earrings instead. As they've had a rocky year, he explains, proposing still doesn't feel right. Chelsea rants, raves, curses, ends their relationship, and throws the earrings into the Pacific Ocean.

Seth feels relieved until Chelsea files a palimony lawsuit and vows to take both his house and half of what he owns. Seth's lawyer warns him that breaking up with his girlfriend could cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Forcing him to share the house, Chelsea tortures Seth, who is allergic, by filling it with rescue cats and replaces his shampoo with hair removal cream. Seth retaliates by binge-eating beans and farting excessively. He then kidnaps Gracie, whom he uses to trick Chelsea into jumping over the edge of the Santa Monica Pier and into filthy ocean water.

They briefly come to an agreement, sealed with angry hate sex. However, her lawyer convinces Chelsea to renege and files a restraining order to force Seth to move out of the house.

Pushed to his breaking point, Seth kidnaps Chelsea and takes her to a planetarium. She assumes he's going to murder her, but instead he proposes. Chelsea refuses until he shows her the ring she had previously demanded and Chelsea radiantly accepts. He has the ring appraised, sells his house so they can start anew, and convinces Chelsea to marry him on the Las Vegas Strip, because no one in their families will attend after everything that's happened. He promises they'll renew their vows later with a big ceremony. In the airplane bathroom, Larry pleads with Seth to call it off, but the wedding goes forward anyway before an Elvis impersonator.

During their vows, however, Seth says, "I don't think so", and gleefully reveals that their engagement is a ploy. Chelsea dropped her lawsuit and moved out of his house, so she can no longer claim in court to live there. Seth further reveals that his dentist and his assistant posed as a married couple and purchased the house, which they will sell back to him, and that he bribed a jeweler to "appraise" Chelsea's glass engagement ring as a real diamond worth $50,000. A livid Chelsea grabs the chapel security guard's gun and shoots Seth, who is dancing triumphantly down the aisle, in the buttocks.

The Las Vegas Police Department arrests Chelsea and an ambulance takes Seth away as they scream and trade insults. Chelsea vows to sue him for breach of promise. Seth screams that Chelsea has "turned me off of women" and vows from now on to be "full-on Liberace gay". A sickened Larry and Holy conclude, “We need new friends.” As the ambulance drives away, a horrified Seth recants his coming out after being groped by a male paramedic. A newly single Chelsea tries in the squad car to propose marriage to the arresting officers, one of whom replies, "Lady, don't make me gag you."

Critical reception
Upon its release, Love Stinks received negative reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 19% based on 47 reviews and an average rating of 3.46/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "This one-dimensional comedy with recycled laughs will have you holding your nose." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 23 out of 100, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".

Talk:Cycles per instruction

How to inform this is article is a stub ??? --Hgfernan 18:45, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

merge
I suggest merging Instructions Per Cycle into Cycles Per Instruction. Both talk about exactly the same thing -- after a bunch of clock cycles, how many instructions were executed?

Or does this googlefight result mean we should go the other way, merging everything into Instructions Per Cycle? --68.0.124.33 (talk) 18:28, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

 * They are entirely different things. CPI is for measuring the average amount of cycles it takes to complete one instruction, while IPC is used to measure the number of instructions that can be executed in one cycle. Rilak (talk) 05:01, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Oppose, while historically C/I used to be reciprocal of I/C, since 1990s this is no longer true. Nowadays, C/I is all about increasing pipeline length to increase frequency, and I/C is all about instruction-level parallelism, multithreading, etc. They both tend to grow as technology develops. --Kubanczyk (talk) 09:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Support. The current Wikipedia articles cycles per instruction and instructions per cycle both claim that one is simply the inverse of the other. If that is correct, then we should merge these two articles, the same way that miles per gallon and litres per 100 kilometres are now a single article.
 * Some of you seem to think that these articles, like (unfortunately) many other poorly-referenced articles, are simply incorrect, or at least outdated. I urge those of you that think this way to please correct these articles and add references that support the correct, modern usage of these terms. --DavidCary (talk) 19:08, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Support: These are the same topic. — Omegatron (talk) 16:09, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Are the examples relevant?
How does the fact that a jump instruction take 3 cycles to complete relevant to the time the CPU is going to spend running a program?

For example, if we have a simple infinite loop:

label1: j label1

Then if we calculate like the examples seem to suggest, we get a CPI of 3 for this program (single jump instruction), when it should really be infinity: CPU time = # instructions * CPI / clock rate ==>  infinity = 1 instruction * CPI / (some fixed clock rate) ==>  CPI = infinity (not 3!)

What does "1T" mean?
"1T per machine cycle"

"Enhanced 8051 Central Processing Unit, 1T, single clock per machine cycle, faster 8~12 times than the rate of a traditional 8051."

"high performance 1-T architecture 80C51 CPU that has an 8051 compatible instruction set, and executes instructions in 1~6 clock cycles (about 6~7 times the rate of a standard 8051 device)."

"single chip microcomputer as 1T, that is, one machine cycle is one clock cycle, and the clock cycle corresponds to the always frequency."

"with respect to traditional 12T 80C51 device working at the same clock frequency."

But what does "T" stand for? Time? — Omegatron (talk) 16:13, 9 December 2020 (UTC) btw this is all false info

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Poroy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Poroy~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Arts town

An arts town (also called a arts city, or with art singular) is a settlement that is dedicated to and recognized as having art as a central feature to its cultural identity. Arts towns generate a good portion of their economy, their existence, and their tourism from establishing a culture of the arts. By definition, a disproportionately large number of the citizens in these towns are involved in the arts.

Santa Fe, in New Mexico, is an example of an arts city in the United States, with over 5,000 artists living within city limits, year round arts events, art institutions including 10 museums and 100 galleries, as well as classes, educational seminars, and conferences. Further towns of art, as the Europeans designate them, include such internationally famous cities such as Florence, in Tuscany, Italy, the heritage home of renaissance art and of Michelangelo and Leonardo.

The term similarly is used for centers for arts festivals like Tanglewood or such small towns as Nelsonville, Ohio, that have dedicated themselves to an artistic identity based on traditional ceramics and folk-art centered on an arts oriented town square.

History
Going back several millennia, in the progression of civic history, emerging towns or cities have taken different cultural courses. Certain towns or cities have deliberately attempted to put forward a presence in which culture ranged high above other achievements in military strength, or in manufacturing, or in strategic importance.

Perhaps the best example is Athens in Greece as the first widely known arts town, acting in opposition to Sparta a quintessential examplar of anti-cultural town development in that Spartan citizens were forbidden non-military pursuits and occupations.

Athens has since provided the inspiration for countless imitations in civic development. Hellenism and Hellenistic ideas have driven countless cities to imitate this city driven by arts, populated by artists, and artisans, and with a strong local, regional, and international influence on arts.

Alexandria, Constantinople, and many medieval Italian city-states, such as Ferrara, Naples, Palermo, Bologna and Perugia are examples of Arts towns.

With the onset of industrialism in Victorian times, a small revival of arts towns was influenced by William Morris in the UK; and by arts idealists such as Thoreau and Walt Whitman in America, and brought into fulfillment by architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright whose influence on supporting the artisan class, their folkish arts, and their use of natural local materials, led to rural revivals of arts towns since the 1970s.

Key elements of arts towns
Arts towns have at least ten primary clusters that define them.

These include an area of arts density considered the centre of the town which would contain multiple: art galleries that also host art walks; crafts workshops that use local materials; theaters and theater group facilities, folk-arts training and exhibition facilities; cafes with locally produced art items; at least three to five arts cooperatives; historical buildings that have undergone proper renovation and kept their character with historical interpretation; at least two or three arts foundations offices; an arts council that works with town planners and the city council; and daily classes in the arts that involve many of the townsfolk, and draw students and tourists for seminars.

Most typically, these towns also have a ratio of one museum per 2,000 citizens.

Recognition by surveys of the towns having an artistic tourist draw is also important. In some countries arts towns are given an official designation by national cultural authorities.

In the United States
Globally, tourists recognize at least twenty cities, towns, or villages as arts towns. In America there are at least 100 towns that are regularly cited, in Canada 10.

Such a list would include towns famous for theatrical events (Stratford, Niagara on the Lake), musical events (Tanglewood, Woodstock), high concentrations of artisans working in one artistic area (Nelsonville, Ohio; Northport, Alabama; Portland, Maine; Oxford, Mississippi; Brattleboro, Vermont); or which host large numbers of artists, actors, or writers (Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Northampton, Provincetown, in Massachusetts).

Certain university towns that are in rural areas, through sheer number of cultural events, as well have achieved world reputations as arts towns (Ithaca, NY; Chapel Hill, NC; Taos, New Mexico; Yellow Springs, Ohio; and Jackson, Wyoming).

In Canada
The most recognized arts towns in Canada are: Stratford, Ontario, home of the Stratford Festival of Canada and a large Shakespearean theatrical community; and Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, home of the Shaw Festival, preserving the work of George Bernard Shaw and other Edwardian playwrights, such as Galsworthy, restored 18th and 19th century buildings with historical interpretation; and classes in costume and drama, academic conferences, and year-round arts initiatives, all in a town with five museums and a population under 14,000.

In Banff, the Banff Centre for the Arts is the key element that allows in a very small town, the capacity for a short film festival with an emphasis on animation; arts and crafts festivals, facilities for a large number of artisans who have rejuvenated a formerly isolated rural community into a global arts centre. And to which artists who live in subsidized nearby retreats for month-long residencies create new works in music, theatre, literary translations, and multi-media by providing synergy within an artistic community.

In Europe
The EEC has developed designations of "cities of the arts" for towns and smaller cities having historic and artistic importance based on UNESCO studies for over twenty years as part of the sustainable cities initiative.

Mstyora miniature

Mstyora (or Mstera) miniature (Мстёрская миниатюра) is a Russian folk handicraft of miniature painting, which is done with tempera paints on varnished articles mostly made of papier-mâché.

Mstyora miniatures appeared in the settlement of Mstyora (in modern Vladimir Oblast) in the early 20th century on the basis of a local tradition of icon-painting. In 1923, Mstyora painters formed an artel called Ancient Russian Folk Painting (Древнерусская народная живопись), renamed Proletarian Art (Пролетарское искусство) in 1931. This artel was turned into a factory in 1960. The Mstyora painting technology was borrowed from the Palekh artists.

Mstyora miniatures usually represent characters from real life, folklore, and literary and historical works. Warmth and gentleness of colors, depth of landscape backgrounds (often with blue dales in the back), small size and squatness of human figurines, and subtlety of framing pattern done in gold are typical.

Mstyora miniature painting, rooted in a local icon-painting tradition, emerged in the early 20th century in Mstyora, now in Vladimir Oblast, Russia. In 1923, artisans formed the Ancient Russian Folk Painting artel, later renamed Proletarian Art in 1931 and transformed into a factory in 1960. Inspired by Palekh artists, Mstyora miniatures, crafted on varnished papier-mâché, depict scenes from real life, folklore, literature, and history, featuring warm colors, intricate gold-framed patterns, and distinctive landscape backgrounds with characteristic blue dales in the distance.

Ain Ebel

Ain Ebel (عين إبل; Syriac: ܥܝܢ ܐܒܠ) is a village located in the Lebanese Upper Galilee in the Caza of Bint Jbeil in the Nabatieh Governorate in Lebanon, about 90 kilometers (56 miles) south of Beirut. Its inhabitants are predominantly Christian.

Since October 2023, Hezbollah, an Islamist Shiite militant group, has been using the area as a launching point for attacks on Israel. This prompted many villagers, particularly women and children, to flee the area and seek safety in Beirut.

Etymology
Historian Taissier Khalaf writes that the name of the town means "Spring of the Monk" because in Aramaic Ain means spring and Ebel means the hermit, who wears a monk's garb. While Anis Freiha and Friar Youakim Moubarak believe that Ebel is a corruption of the word Baal, in reference to the Semitic god associated with storms and thus irrigation, and combined with Ain then the name may mean the "Spring of Irrigation". Edward Henry Palmer, in 1881, wrote that it meant "The Spring of Camels" taking a literal translation for the name from classical Arabic.

Variation of spelling
Due to the different standards in the Romanization of Arabic, the spelling of the name of the village has sometimes varied, such as Ainebel, Aïn Ebel, Ain Ebl, Ain Ibl, Ayn Ibil, Ain Ibil, Aïn Ibel, and Ain Ibel.

History
Ain Ebel is a historic village with numerous archaeological sites.

Prehistory
Lower Paleolithic implements were found in Ain Ebel, and historian believe that prehistoric man lived and hunted in the area from the most ancient times. A Heavy Neolithic site of the Qaraoun culture was discovered by Henri Fleisch west of Ain Ebel in the Wadi Koura, with tools found suggested to be part of a forest dweller's toolkit at the start of the Neolithic Revolution. The region stretching from the north of Ain Ebel to south near Yaroun is rich in flint instruments, and the whole surrounding region as far as Jish contains megalithic ruins, perhaps pre-Canaanites.

Ancient history
In the Babylonian Talmud, Ain Ebel is referred to as `En Bol, and identified as a village northwest of Safed, where minorities practiced a form of niddah in which female infants were made to undergo the ritual immersion before their mothers.

Historian John T. Durward argues that Ain Ebel, located west of Kedesh of Naphtali (an ancient town documented in Judges 4:6, 10), is probably the biblical town of Abel Beth Ma'acah, and was the spiritual retreat of the clergy from Tyre and Acre.

On the outskirts of the village is an area called Chalaboune where Ernest Renan, a French historian and philosopher who was sent by Emperor Napoleon III to Lebanon, found ancient graves. According to Renan, Ain-Ebel had beautiful underground passages and large buildings in colossal stones and admirable carved sarcophagi in two remarkable places, Douair and Chalaboune, which he believed was the Biblical town of Shaalabbin of the Tribe of Dan. On one of the graves, Renan discovered a bas-relief of Apollo and Artemis. The relief was transported to France where it remains today at the Louvre. In 2011 and after months of negotiation, the Musée du Louvre agreed to make an exact replica of the bas-relief, which was delivered to the municipality of Ain Ebel in November.

Middle Ages and early Modern period
It is believed that the village has been continuously inhabited at least since the 15th century when Christians from the north of Lebanon migrated to lower elevations in the south to cultivate feudal lands.

In his book, Salut Jerusalem: Les memoires d'un chretien de Tyr a l'epoque des Croisades, the Lebanese historian, Bechara Menassa, wrote that the people of Ain Ebel were in touch with the Crusaders in Toron, modern Tebnine. Menassa described how a Frankish monk killed a wild animal in Ain Ebel.

Late Ottoman period
In January 1837, Ain Ebel was hit by the Galilee earthquake, which devastated the South all the way to Safad and Tiberias.

By the mid-nineteenth century, Ain Ebel had become the principal village of Christianity in the Upper Galilee, and in 1861 it was chosen for the first religious retreat organized in the Holy Land where 55 priests from the archdioceses of Tyre and Acre gathered for a reunion.

Ain Ebel is mentioned in a Christian anthology, containing contributions from ministers and members of various evangelical denominations published in the United Kingdom in 1866: "Forwards we marched, with light spirits, through close woods, varied by occasional clearings, like what are called the 'rides' in old English forests; and sometimes we arrived at snug villages or prospects of such by the names of Teereh, Hhaneen and Ain Ibil, the latter at two hours from Tibneen. The people are Christians, and they cultivate silk and tobacco...

A poor Maronite priest in his black robes and dark blue turban, came up to me, and, leaning on his staff, represented the sad story of his village (Ain Nebel) the day before, when of the subordinate officers of Tamar Bek, going round to inspect the Christians in their compulsory and unpaid labour at the lime-kilns, and finding the work of one of the men not equal to the task exacted, shot him dead on the spot."

In 1875 Victor Guérin visited, and noted 800 Maronite and 200 Greek Orthodox villagers.

In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described 'Ain Ibl as a: "Well-built modern village, with a Christian chapel ; contains about 1,000 Christians (800 Maronites and 200 United Greeks). It has vineyards on the slope of the hill on which the village is placed, and olives in the valley below. Good water supply from springs in the valley."

P. Engbert writes that the inhabitants of Ain Ebel offered the Jesuits in 1888 a fairly large lot of land after almost all the inhabitants signed the petition which was presented to R. P. Lefebvre.

In 1889, the village harvest was bad and an epidemic spread among the townspeople, lasting all winter and killing more than fifty people.

French Mandate
The village celebrated the arrival of High Commissioner Gouraud to Lebanon by flying the flag of France and playing the French anthem. By 1920, Ain Ebel had a population of 1,500, living in about 300 houses.

Massacre of 1920
While delegates from the Shia Conference of El-Hujair were in Damascus swearing allegiance to King Faisal, an act the Maronites of Jabal Amel considered threatening, a Shia gang led by Mahmoud Bazzi, which "proceeded from brigandage to confronting France and its Christian friends in the south", attacked Ain Ebel on May 5, 1920, pillaging and killing more than 50 people. It appears that the gangs responded to a call for jihad. The people of Ain Ebel defended the town from sunrise to sunset until they ran out of ammunition.

A contemporary Franciscan document chronicling the event states that attackers abandoned themselves in the violence, massacring children in the arms of their parents before killing them, raping young women and then killing them, and burning people who were still alive. The survivors fled south to Haifa until French ships took them back to Tyre where General Gouraud promised the Maronite Patriarch to punish those who had caused the massacres and destruction. The town was completely destroyed, and the damage done to the two churches, school and convent, were evidence of sectarian malice. The neighboring villages of Debel and Rmaich were also attacked so after 12 days of plundering and massacres, the French arrived and suppressed all activities in Jabal Amil region.

While awaiting to return to their village, it was reported that a soldier, in the service of the English, offered the villagers to sell their properties to the Zionists because they were not guaranteed a return to Ain Ebel, but they all refused. This was yet another example of how the Christians of the Tyre district were under a lot of pressure to abandon their land and emigrate out of the area. The massacres hardened Maronite opinion in favor of Jabal Amil being part of Greater Lebanon, which borders were cemented at the San Remo conference in 1920.

Later French rule
During the French Mandate, the network of paved road expanded, coinciding with the introduction of automobiles in Lebanon. The arrival of the first car in a village became a celebratory event, and this was true in Ain Ebel, where the inhabitants, dressed in their Sunday best, gathered in the church square to welcome the first car to drive through the village. The French planned to build an automobile road to connect the southern villages with those of Mandatory Palestine. The original plan was to build the road from Bint Jbeil via Yaroun and Rmaich, but the people of Ain Ebel protested, knowing the significance of such a road for the development of their town, and in the end, they were able to convince the French government to change the plan and have the road run through the village.

During World War II, the Vichy French had a line of widely spaced blockhouses that stretched from the coast to the inland heights, reaching Ain Ebel. During the Syria–Lebanon Campaign to liberate Lebanon and Syria from the Vichy, Australian Captain Douglas George Horley was ordered to clear Ain Ebel. Australian Brigadier J. E. S. Stevens decided that he would seize Aitaroun, Bint Jbel, Ain Ebel, Yaroun, Rmaich, Ayta ash Shab, Ramié, Jereine, Aalma ech Chaab and Labouna to cut a road from Al-Malkiyya to the French frontier road so as to make a second gateway into the coastal zone. The Australian squad, guided by Meir Davidson's squad, finally captured the town of Bint Jbeil and the villages of Aitaroun and Ain Ebel. After taking Yaroun and Bint Jbeil, Ain Ebel was found to have been abandoned by the Vichy.

Contemporary history
In October 1948, during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Ain Ebel received Palestinian refugees, especially from the village of Eilabun via Meiron, who stayed in the church for three days before being relocated to the Mieh Mieh refugee camp.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the village was often caught in the skirmishes between the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Israel Defense Force. Israel imposed a food and fuel blockade on Christian villages, such as Ain Ebel and Qlaiaa, forcing the inhabitants to deal with Israel. Christian militia arrived in Ain Ebel and neighboring Christian villages in August 1976 to open a new line of confrontation against the PLO strongholds in neighboring villages.

Ain-Ebel native, Monsignor Albert Khreish was abducted from his home on April 24, 1988. A week later on May 1, 1988, Monsignor Albert Khreish, who was head of the Maronite Spiritual Affairs Court, and nephew of Cardinal Anthony Peter Khoraish, was found dead in the pine forest outside of Ghazir. Khreish, who was shot 30 times, was an authority on international law and had served on the Maronite religious tribunal and lectured at the Government-run Lebanese University. His death was believed to be politically motivated, but the case was unsolved.

2006 Lebanon War
In July 2006, Ain Ebel, like other villages that string Lebanon's southern border, such as Debel, Qaouzah, Rmaich, and Yaroun, was caught in the 2006 Lebanon War between Lebanon and Israel. The village and its surrounding valleys were attacked by Israël. During the conflict, the village witnessed ferocious battles with missiles destroying many houses and orchards and leaving the townspeople besieged and without bread for three weeks.

After allegations that Hezbollah was using humans as shields, the Human Rights Watch visited Ain Ebel on several occasions, and their "investigations revealed that this was wrong, because Hezbollah was defending Lebanon from Israeli attacks that were endangering civilians" when they launched rockets from or near civilian homes, adding that on July 24, around 9:30 am, a convoy of 17 vehicles, fleeing Ain Ebel also were attacked by Israël , and put civilians under attack. Residents of Ein Abel informed Human Rights Watch investigators that Hezbollah had declared several fields "off limits" to the locals following the Israeli withdrawal in 2000, later using these areas to construct military installations.

Death of Elias Hasrouni
Elias Hasrouni, a veteran Lebanese Forces official, was first thought to have died in a car crash on Sunday, August 6, 2023, but an autopsy later revealed that he was killed and many, including Samir Geagea, believed the murder was politically motivated. Samir Geagea declared Hasrouni's death an assassination, pointing the finger at Hezbollah as the crime occurred deep within areas controlled by them but that accusation was never proven. Politician Samy Gemayel also hinted that Hezbollah might have been behind the killing. The residents of Ain Ebel, one of the few Christian villages in the predominately Shiite province, one of Hezbollah's main power bases, are mostly supportive of Hezbollah's largest political ennemy, the Lebanese Forces, and the murder of Hasrouni created sectarian tentions. Two months later, Hasrouni's wife, Yvette Sleiman died in a car accident, but it was unclear whether her death was also politically motivated.

2023 Lebanon-Israel border conflict (8 October 2023 - present)
Ain Ebel, about 7.5 km (4.7 mi) from the border with Israel, was caught in the crossfire during the 2023 Lebanon-Israel border conflict. While the village, like other neighboring Christian villages, was not aligned to Hezbollah, Israeli attacks led some villagers, especially the women and children, to evacuate to Beirut. Only 40% of the population, mostly adult men, remained in the village. The Saint-Joseph and Saints-Cœurs Schools closed amid the war after three of their students where killed on November 5 on the road between Aitaroun and Ain Ebel by an Israeli strike. On November 23, 2023, several rockets hit Ain Ebel as a result of the Iron Dome intercepting 48 missiles launched by Hezbollah. As residents prepared for a subdued Christmas under the shadow of the ongoing conflict, United Nations peacekeeping handed out toys on Saturday, December 23 to some 250 children whose families had remained in Ain Ebel and in the nearby villages of Rmaich and Debel.

Geography
Located in the mountainous region of southern Lebanon, known as Belad Bechara in Jabal Amel, or the Lebanese Upper Galilee, Ain Ebel occupies several hills with elevation ranging from 750 to 850 meters above sea level. There are three natural springs in Ain Ebel, including Tarabnine, Tahta and Hourrié, and in the valley between Ain Ebel and Hanine is Ain Hanine.

Climate
The village has a Mediterranean climate and enjoys four seasons with autumn and spring being mild but rainy, winter being cold and sometimes snowy and summer being dry and very pleasant with average temperatures between 25 - 27 C.

Geology
Deposits of bitumen, a black mixture of hydrocarbons obtained naturally, is found in Ain Ebel. Flint is also found; it was excavated and used to build tools by ancient dwellers of the region.

Vegetation
The main agricultural products are olives, almonds, chestnuts, pecans, grapes, figs, pomegranates, and apples. Oak and pine woods can be found on the outskirts of the village.

In January 2023, perennial oak trees were illegally cut down in the western woods of the town, and while the culprit, a resident of Ayta ash Shab, was arrested, he was believed to be close to Hezbollah and was eventually released by a decision from the Nabatieh Public Prosecutor.

During the 2023-2024 Lebanon-Israel border conflict, the Israeli army conducted airstrikes on the forest areas between Ain Ebel and Bint Jbeil. Additionally, Israel's use of white phosphorus and other incendiary weapons burned tens of thousands of olive trees and other crops in the border area.

Demographics
The people of Ain Ebel are mainly Maronite Catholics, Greek Catholics and Armenian Catholics. In 2009, there were 410 members of the Saint-Élie parish of the Melkite Church in the village.

Education
There are three schools in the village: two private schools (Saints-Cœurs and Saint Joseph) and one public school. Of the three, the oldest is Saints-Cœurs, which was established by the Jesuits in 1881. Within a decade, Ain Ebel had two schools, and Missionary Père Angelil requested the aid of the nuns of Ain Ebel in 1890 to teach for eight days the inhabitants in neighboring Mi'ilya after which two nuns remained there to manage the new school.

Architecture
There are three historic churches, built in the eighteenth and nineteenth century, and a convent that was built in 1857.

A shrine, consisting of a 200-foot tower to be topped by a 45-foot statue of the Virgin Mary, is being built in Ain Ebel at the north entrance of the village, funded primarily by expatriates.

Hiking
Funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), in partnership with the Community Support Program (CSP), Ain Ebel's western slopes, which are covered with olive and oak trees, became connected in 2022 to the Lebanon Mountain Trail, a long-distance hiking trail that crosses Lebanon from north to south.

(s/b “How abt just ‘Eosinophil’?“)
Nobody refers to these as "eosinophil granulocytes"! Can we re-re-direct the page back to its original title - "Eosinophil"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.11.148.135 (talk • contribs) 18:48, 1 September 2005

I agree with the above statement. Eosinophil alone is good enough for clinical hematologists. Also, the picture of the eosinophil on the main page is AWFUL. Eosinophils will stain orange-ish red. They are very distinctive. The one on the main page could be confused with a neutrophil. Anyone have a better photo? Rdbrd82 20:17, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Phagocytic role
According to "Foundation in Microbiology - Basic Principles", Fourth Edition by Talaro, on page 437, it says that eosinophils play a phagocytic role, although minor role. I think this should be stated in the Wikipedia article. Similarily in the "Immune System" article, under phagocyte grouping, the eosinophil is not listed.

Virgil's tomb

Virgil's tomb (Italian: Tomba di Virgilio) is a Roman burial vault in Naples, said to be the tomb of the poet Virgil (70–19 BCE). It is located at the entrance to the old Roman tunnel known as the Crypta Neapolitana or grotta vecchia in the Piedigrotta district of the city, between Mergellina and Fuorigrotta.

History
Virgil was the object of literary admiration and veneration before his death. In the following centuries and particularly in the Middle Ages his name became associated with legends of miraculous powers and his tomb the object of pilgrimages and pagan veneration.

At the time of Virgil's death, a large bay tree was near the entrance. According to a local legend, it died when Dante died, and Petrarch planted a new one; because visitors took branches as souvenirs the second tree died as well.

Virgil's death
When Virgil died at Brindisi in 19 BCE, he asked that his ashes be taken back to his villa just outside Naples. There a shrine was created for him, and sacred rites were held every year on his birthday. He was given the rites of a hero, at whose tomb the devout may find protection and counsel. Virgil's tomb became a place of pilgrimage for many centuries, with Petrarch and Boccaccio being among those who visited the tomb.

The tomb still contains a tripod burner originally dedicated to Apollo. There are no human remains in the tomb, however, as Virgil's ashes were lost while being moved during the Middle Ages.

Re merge request: obviously I disagree. These are both very large subjects and can easily handle two articles, as I think my edit shows. The lighting article is already 20 kB. -- Securiger 18:49, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree! Keep it here, for what my vote is worth! 69.142.2.68 01:17, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

fact vs opinion
Are these statements facts, or opinions?

 * "security lighting is only useful at night"
 * "most household burglaries occur during the day"

To meet our Verifiability policy, I would like either (a) some less biased reference that confirms that they are true facts, or (b) some reference that gives evidence that these are merely opinions, or perhaps not entirely true.

Since the *only* reference we have at the moment claims that these things are true facts, my understanding of the "assert facts" policy WP:ASF is that this article must also assert that these things are true, at least until we get a reference that disputes them. --68.0.124.33 (talk) 02:26, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I tend to agree, that was my reasoning for mentioning where this (IMHO) opinion was being given by, when it was being given (and not down in the Ref Sect). There seems some bias in an 'Astronomy Dark Skies' group saying that it reduces crime, saves money and, oh yeah, makes for great observations of the Stars. Personally, I feel there is a bell curve to cities/crime and thoes mentioned by britastro just so happen to be situated in the right place on that curve that they can have a lights out "policy".

 * I see how that group would want everyone to *believe* that those statements are always true. And so I see how that group may be tempted by confirmation bias or wishful thinking or cherry picking. If the article has no reference that disputes that these statements are true, then the WP:NPOV policy requires the article to assert that these are facts rather than opinion. Is there *any* evidence at all that perhaps those statements are not always true, or are you shooting the messenger? --68.0.124.33 (talk) 16:25, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Sure, go ahead and put Common knowledge into the article.
 * where do you find a source? Excellent question. But first let me point out that you seem convinced that the above statements are false, and now you are trying to cherry picking sources that say they are false. Forgive me for the rudeness, but have you considered that perhaps those statements might be true for some obscure, counter-intuitive, non-obvious reason? I am embarrassed by the number of things on the list of common misconceptions that I once was convinced was true.
 * Some possible ways to find a source:
 * The references already cited in this article.
 * The references cited at the end of some of the references cited in this article -- such as the The Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics; Percent distribution of burglaries known to police, By place and time of occurrence, United States, 1976-2007; Bruce Schneier: lighting; "Preventing crime at places"; "Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design in Parking Facilities."; the National Criminal Justice Reference Service; "University lighting: Deterrent to Crime", National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities "School lighting", etc.
 * United States Bureau of Justice Statistics
 * Perhaps you are convinced those statements are false because of something you've read -- Could you track down that source?

 * Or perhaps you could provide a Cite for the disputed claims, from more than 1 source, to back the claims of (what I am going to claim as) biased sources. So far, all that has been Cited is Barry Clark (a life member of the Astronomical Society of Victoria which has seemingly no link to the national Astronomical Society of Australia)& the British Astronomical Association. and honestly, their credentials in the field of CPTED is less than minimal. Dont get me wrong, i am not minimizing the lists of papers they have put forth with this idea, but if an Encyclopedia is to explain their position properly, we should incorporate their slightly biased view and expand upon it in an unbiased way. Can we find Cites for their view from sources they have not cherrypicked?
 * You have to admit that when even 1 of the Refs u mention says "Lighting is one of the most efficient ways to prevent crimes from occurring on school campuses. A well-lighted environment creates a deterrent for prospective vandals — or thieves, drug dealers and rapists — because it raises the risk that they will be caught in the act." ("University lighting: Deterrent to Crime") it is a little hard to believe the opposite.

 * Yet one more way to find a source:.

Buddy Childers

Marion "Buddy" Childers (February 12, 1926 – May 24, 2007) was an American jazz trumpeter, composer and ensemble leader. Childers became famous in 1942 at the age of 16, when Stan Kenton hired him to be the lead trumpet in his band.

Biography
As Childers later told Steve Voce:

"At the rehearsal he sat me down in the first trumpet chair, had the first trumpet player sit out. I played about eight or nine things in a row and the adrenalin was really flying that day. I was 16 I probably looked about 13, but I played considerably more maturely than that. 'Well, what do you want to do?' he said after that was over. 'I want to join your band.' 'But you're so young.' 'I gotta join your band,' I said. I had this thing in my mind that I had to join a name band at 16 or I'd never be able to make it as a musician. I was thinking of Harry James so young with Ben Pollack and then with Benny Goodman, and Corky Corcoran who joined Sonny Dunham when he was 16 and then became Harry James's leading soloist the next year. So I made it by three weeks. I only had a couple of months before I graduated but I wasn't interested in that, I was only interested in playing." Childers worked with Kenton for years, and also performed with the big bands of Tommy Dorsey, Woody Herman, Les Brown, Charlie Barnet, Dan Terry, and others. He worked on television programs and in films, and put together a big band that recorded for Candid Records in the 1980s and 1990s. AllMusic.com also credits Childers as recording with The Monkees, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Captain & Tennille, The Carpenters, Tommy Sands, The Friends of Distinction, Barry Manilow, Tim Weisberg, Michael Nesmith, Laura Nyro, Teresa Brewer, The Four Freshmen, The Singers Unlimited, Billy Daniels, Anita O'Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan.

Blue Mitchell, Michel Colombier, Lalo Schifrin, Ray Brown, Clare Fischer, Bobby Bryant, Henry Mancini, Bud Shank, and others.

Childers became a member of the Baháʼí Faith by 1982. He died of cancer on May 24, 2007, age 81.
