List of cities in Lithuania

In Lithuania, there are 103 cities (in Lithuanian: singular – miestas, plural – miestai). The term city is defined by the Parliament of Lithuania as a compact urban area with more than 3,000 people, of whom at least two-thirds work in the industry or service sector. Settlements with a population of less than 3,000 but with historical city status are still considered to be cities. Smaller settlements are called miestelis (plural miesteliai) which is translated as "towns". Even smaller settlements (villages) are called kaimas (plural kaimai). Often the official status is unclear and people refer to both towns and villages as gyvenvietė (plural gyvenvietės) which in essence means settlement.

The cities started to form in the 13th–14th centuries together with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The first to receive city rights was Klaipėda. According to medieval law, a city could have its own fairs, taverns, guilds, courts, etc. Some former cities lost their status and are now just towns or villages, for example Kernavė and Merkinė. Most of the cities in Lithuania were established before the 18th century. Their location is mostly determined by trade and transportation routes. Some of the newer cities grew because of railroad construction, for example Kaišiadorys, Vievis, Radviliškis, Ignalina and Mažeikiai. In the 20th century, cities grew next to big industrial centers, for example Visaginas, Elektrėnai and Naujoji Akmenė. Five cities (Birštonas, Druskininkai, Neringa, Palanga and Anykščiai) have a special resort status.

Of over 100 cities only 14 have populations of over 20,000. Cities are quite evenly spread out through the territory of Lithuania. At the 2001 census 66.7% of the population lived in cities. During the 2021 census it increased to 68.2% of population.

Remaining cities in Lithuania
The smallest cities in Lithuania that have below 1,000 inhabitants. The counties are ranked by number of cities and further ranked by the population of the largest one. Cities are ranked by the size of the population.

 * Panevėžys County (5): Subačius, Obeliai, Vabalninkas, Pandėlys, Joniškėlis.
 * Utena County (4): Dūkštas, Kavarskas, Dusetos, Troškūnai.
 * Telšiai County (2): Varniai, Seda.
 * Tauragė County (2): Smalininkai, Panemunė.
 * Marijampolė County (1): Virbalis.
 * Šiauliai County (1): Užventis.
 * Vilnius County (1): Baltoji Vokė.
 * Alytus County (1): Daugai.

Notes and sources

 * Population sizes are given according to Department of Statistics to the Government of the Republic of Lithuania (Statistics Lithuania) data for the census of 2001.
 * "City rights" means rights to self-government. For older cities this is usually the date when Magdeburg rights were granted. Most dates are obtained from Lithuanian Wikipedia which assembled the information from several different sources. One of the main sources was Population Statistics. This information cannot be completely trusted.
 * Counties, municipalities and elderships are given according to Lithuanian Central Internet Gates data.
 * Stasys Vaitiekūnas, Elena Valančienė, Lietuvos geografija (Geography of Lithuania), Alma littera, 2004, pages 160-162. ISBN 9955-08-534-7
 * Lietuvos Respublikos teritorijos administracinių vienetų ir jų ribų įstatymas (Republic of Lithuania Law on Administrative Units and Their Borders), Seimas law database, June 19, 1994, law no. I-558.
 * At the time of the 2001 census, there were 106 cities in Lithuania. the Government of the Republic of Lithuania made these changes:
 * On December 16, 2002 Juodupė lost city status and became a town
 * On February 25, 2003 Kulautuva lost city status and became a town
 * On April 8, 2003 Tyruliai lost city status and became a town

 * Cities with no image of a coat of arms shown do not have one confirmed by the President of Lithuania. Municipalities share coats of arms with their capitals, with the exception of cities which are capitals of more than one municipality (i.e. a city municipality and a district municipality), in which case the city municipality shares the coat of arms with the city, while the district municipality has its own distinct coat of arms. Another notable exception is Trakai town, which has different coat of arms from its municipality (Trakai District Municipality).

Terminology
A city of 300 people? That sounds more like a hamlet! Have we got our terminology and translation right? Does the Lithuanian language have different words for different sizes of settlement? And how do they equate to city, town, village and hamlet? In England a village may have as many as 10,000 people. In German there is only one word for city/town - Stadt - a status granted under town rights and how it is translated depends on size. Typically those with a population of 100,000 or more would be translated as cities in English. Just askin'.Bermicourt (talk) 16:43, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The article explains how the "city" is defined. A city of 300 people is an anomaly, since, by law, all "cities" that have historically had city rights retain the title "city", even if they have not grown in the last 600 years.No longer a penguin (talk) 13:49, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Reverts by Respublik
Please explain your reverts. - Altenmann >talk 19:59, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

The term "city" has specific meaning in Lithuania. See the introduction of the article. - Altenmann >talk 20:00, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Towns/Cities
@Altenmann The fact that a place may gain or lose recognition as a city at 3,000 citizens does not affect the list, as legislative decisions to change a city's status must be taken, and have not been for any cities on the list. There are examples of cities that lost the status in the notes. Respublik (talk) 20:02, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Also please use the talk page BEFORE making controversial changes, not vice verse. Respublik (talk) 20:03, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * If you say so, then I will remove the whole table as unreferenced. Unless proven otherwise, we have to stick to the official definition involving "3,000" and only change the settlement type if there is a reference. You say: have not been for any cities on the list -- you cannot prove that something "not been", only "been". Also, your statement is wrong: the places were assigned the type by default when the legislation about "3,000" was passed. I did see some exceptions were recognized. Also, please provide the reference to your claim "legislative decisions to change a city's status must be taken" and add it to the article. - Altenmann >talk 20:15, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * P.S. I didin see my changes as controversial, because they were made in accordnce to Linthuanian law. And in English wikipedia people tend to be sloppy with usage of terms "city" vs "town". - Altenmann >talk 20:17, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Feel free to discuss removing the entire table in another section. And your interpretations of the "Linthuanian law" seem to ignore even having read the sources tables, however weirdly someone made it. As stated there, there are legal definitions of "city" and "town", a seperate list for towns based on that definition (List of towns in Lithuania) and these are not somehow automatically sorted by the population size..

In Lithuanian:

Respublik (talk) 20:41, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Also, were you to look up the talk page ahead of editing, this was already explained 8 years ago by @No longer a penguin. Respublik (talk) 20:56, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * OK. Maybe you are right. It looks like our wikipedia articles are confusing. - Altenmann >talk 23:10, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

My two cents: "city" and "town" are legal status of a settlement determined by the Seimas. Technically, cities should have at least 3,000 residents, but a whole lot of smaller settlements are "grandfathered" into the status and reaching 3000 population does not automatically guarantee it would be "upgraded" to a city status. It's really idiosyncratic. Renata•3 21:29, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Unimog

G-Wagen similarity?
The article claims without citing any reference that "The Mercedes-Benz G-Class shares some features of the Unimog..." The Steyr-designed G-Wagen has none of the configuration or component features of any generation or size of Unimog. What was intended here, and where is the justification? Brian_abp —Preceding undated comment added 01:21, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

An or a
Hi all

Having a little problem with grammar.

I have changed all the "an unimog" to "a unimog" as all the people I have talked to in Britain use it in this way.

Google searches:

News

"an unimog" = 92 results

"a unimog" = 875

All

"an unimog" = 10,800

"a unimog" = 116,000

To me, it is fairly clear.

My own experience of discussing unimogs with people and google search both agree it should be "a unimog"; however, there is a German editor who keeps reverting me.

Any comments? Chaosdruid (talk) 10:54, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

 * I don't see any German editors. Google searches are not realiable sources. --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 11:15, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Google searches are commonly used to show grammatical use.

 * You are promoting the German pronunciation, apologies for assuming that you and your name are German (I did note that you only list German and English at a level 4 which is why I assumed you were German)

 * However, you state "near native" for English, yet when told by a native English speaker that your assumption about this matter is wrong, you decide to argue about it instead of thanking me for correcting you?

 * Then, you tell me Google is not an appropriate source? Of course it is not a "source", it is a search for how the term is used in English.

 * Can you think of a better way to resolve this? Chaosdruid (talk) 11:26, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Thank your for your reply. No offence, but it is my personal experience that native English speakers pronounce German names very "interestingly". (And I obviously know how Anglophone speaking people pronounce certain words, but that is not the point). We've got an audio file on Commons titled De-Unimog.ogg. Best, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 12:04, 30 May 2019 (UTC) [[File:De-Unimog.ogg]].

 * Unfortunately that is the EXACT point. The pronunciation is KEY to whether it is "a" or "an".

 * In this case, we say "a unimog". Same as "a union jack", or "it is a union of X and Y", or "a unique"

 * As this is the en wikipedia, it will obviously use english grammar.

 * We are only just getting the poorshu/porsh/pourshe/pourshu mess sorted out now, and trying to explain that "j" is mostly "y" in Europe is also problematic for us native english speakers.

 * Here, we have to accept that the word is being incorrectly pronounced, but we have to go with it because we have evidence (the google search) which shows that, gramatically, there are 10 times more "a unimog" than "an unimog" Chaosdruid (talk) 17:22, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

 * I understand how English grammar works. We know how to correctly pronounce the word Unimog, or how it is intended to be pronounced, so why not make use of that? Adapting to "how the reader pronounces the word" does not work, simply because there is no such thing as a "generic reader". We write Wikipedia in English, not for people whose native language is English. "Google results" are hardly any evidence though. Best, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 19:38, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * You know how to correctly pronounce the word Unimog IN GERMAN. News flash, we aren't writing in German. And that is NOT how it is pronounced in English. --Khajidha (talk) 15:47, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

I wonder how you know a uniform English pronounciation, because I don't. Even English words that aren't names aren't pronounced the same across all English-speaking countries, for instance, either is sometimes pronounced as, and sometimes as. The pronounciation of names though typically doesn't depend upon languages. Names are typically names (I'm ignoring titles here). Id est, you cannot pronounce a name in, for instance, English. You can pronounce names correctly, somewhat correctly, or wrongly. It is nothing new that native English speakers tend to struggle with motor vehicle manufacturers' names, but we don't actively have to encourage these mistakes, especially in cases where it is relatively easy to avoid them – I reckon that, saying is not difficult for most people who have a decent knowledge of the English language. Maybe, one day, people in English-speaking countries start saying, , , , , , , , , , , , … Best regards, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 18:59, 22 October 2021 (UTC) Post Scriptum: I'm a person whose name is typically pronounced incorrectly "in English", and it is a nuisance.
 * Why in the world would we pronounce them that way? We aren't speaking German.--Khajidha (talk) 22:49, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Because that is how you pronounce these names. I have met native English speakers who would ask how to pronounce certain names they weren't sure about, which is an expresseion of politeness. There are those who unknowingly make mistakes, which is ignorance, and then there are those don't care at all. Guess what that is. --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 07:25, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
 * It's called speaking one's own language. Names of companies are not like names of people.--Khajidha (talk) 11:41, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Altitude record
The Suzuki Jimny article includes:
 * On December 13th, 2019, Jeschke reclaimed the record with a Mercedes Benz Unimog.

I believe to add this to the article we'd need independent verification via WP:RS. --Marc Kupper|talk 05:10, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

 * This should be part of the Unimog 437.4 article. Actually, only few Unimogs could operate normally under "mountain conditions": Most Unimogs are fitted with naturally aspirated engines, which means that they lose power at high altitudes. Under the conditions as described in the source, an Unimog 435's engine would possibly have like 40 kW of power, which I believe is insufficient for driving off-road in an Unimog 435. Placing the "altitude record information" into this article would possibly make the reader believe that any Unimog model could drive up mountains that high, while actually only few Unimog models can. Best regards, --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 11:53, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Motorsport/Dakar wins
The Motorsport section had the following passage, which I have since modified due to several issues:

''Unimogs have won the truck class of the Dakar several times in the 1980s, often by accident, as their main purpose is usually to provide support for cars and motorbikes. High-powered factory-sponsored entries of truck companies aiming for the overall win have since taken the laurels, with Unimogs used mainly for service purposes.''

First, Unimogs won twice, 1982 and 1986. This may be sufficient for "several times", but it makes the subsequent "often by accident" unsuitable: Either this happened once (not enough for "often"), or twice (and thus always, too much for "often"). Further, disregarding the semantics of "often", the winners of 1982 were regarded as a main competitor in the truck class (https://web.archive.org/web/20110515053140/http://www.dakar.com/2009/DAK/presentation/docs/histo_1979_2007_us.pdf), so their victory was hardly accidental. Only the 1986 winners were entered as a supporting vehicle, and their win was seen as "unexpected" (same link as above). I still feel "by accident" is a bit much, as they were registered the regular way and drove competitively - this was not a case of "ha, you truck racers, this support crew was actually faster than all of you, so they get the gold!"

Images

 * Something like 53 images far surpasses what is needed in the article. A point of jumping off the proverbial cliff into a large collection of images that strays from "encyclopedic context" seems self-evident. -- Otr500 (talk) 18:46, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

"The... is a range of..."
I don't know what it *should* say, but "The Unimog (pronunciation in American English: YOU-nuh-mog; British English: YOU-knee-mog; German: [ˈʊnɪmɔk], listenⓘ) is a range of multi-purpose tractors, trucks and lorries that has been..." doesn't look or sound right to me. "The" implies singular, but "a range of" suggests plural.

How about "Unimog" is a brand name...? or "A Unimog is any one of a range of"? Polar Apposite (talk) 17:35, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

 * The pronounciation of Unimog is as in underwater, underwhelming, undisclosed, and so on, and so forth. The problem with Unimog is that all different types of Unimog follow sort-of the same principle, but the differences between Unimog types are too pronounced. Nontheless, the term Unimog is usually treated as singular, and easily understood when discussing off-road capable multi-purpose vehicles, and the history behind the Unimog's development makes it plausible to discuss it in its own right. The comparision might seem a bit weird at first, but I reckon Unimog compares well with iPhone in this regard. Thus, one could write: "Unimog is a line of multi-purpose tractors (…) that has been produced by Boehringer and Daimler Truck Holding AG". Maybe that's better?

 * Hello Johannes. Yes that does sound better, I think. I have read so little about lines of cars, tractors, etcetera, that I don't trust my "ear" to tell me what is right, especially since commercial English seems to change very fast.
 * I'll change it to line, as it must surely be a step in the right direction, at the very least. Cheers. Polar Apposite (talk) 18:40, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Kappa Alpha Order

KA order > Accusations of racism
Last paragraph of section text as of 11/4/19 reads as follows:

"In 2019, the fraternity suspended three members of its University of Mississippi chapter after they posted a photo on an Instagram account showing them posing with guns next to a bullet-riddled sign memorializing Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African-American lynched in Mississippi in 1955.[27] The local U.S. Attorney said that the matter had been referred for further investigation to the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice.[27] The students withdraw from the university, but they are not charged with a hate crime.[28]"

Fn 28 links to the following: "White Supremacists Caught at Emmett Till Memorial Making Propaganda Film Jackson Free Press, Nov 2, 2019; retrieved Nov 3, 2019."

Comments:

1. Last sentence of paragraph is ungrammatical; presumably the verb should be "withdrew."

2. The article linked by fn 28 says nothing about either factual claim in the final sentence of the paragraph, the claim that (a) the students withdrew from Ole Miss or the one that (b) they have not been, seemingly implying that they will not be, charged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.103.115.62 (talk) 18:07, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Miss Beazley

Miss Beazley Bush (October 28, 2004 – May 17, 2014) was a Scottish Terrier which belonged to former U.S. President George W. Bush and former U.S. First Lady Laura Bush.

Miss Beazley's father, a Scottish terrier named Clinton, was born on November 7, 2000. Clinton was the half-brother of the Bushes' first Scottish terrier, Barney. Miss Beazley's mother, Blackwatch Elizabeth, was bred by dog breeder Patricia Gilmore of Livingston, New Jersey. Gilmore also bred Miss Beazley, a purebred Scottish terrier who was born in 2004.

Miss Beazley was adopted as a birthday present from President Bush to First Lady Laura Bush. She moved into the White House as a ten-week-old puppy on January 6, 2005, shortly before the beginning of President Bush's second term in office. The First Lady and her daughters Barbara and Jenna Bush named their new dog after a character from Oliver Butterworth's 1956 children's book, The Enormous Egg.

Miss Beazley and the Bushes' first Scottish Terrier, Barney, became well known United States presidential pets. In 2005, Miss Beazley and Barney were featured in the White House Christmas video, A Very Beazley Christmas, for her first holiday in the White House.

Miss Beazley continued to live in Texas with the former presidential family until her death on May 17, 2014, from lymphoma.

Barney and Miss Beazley are honored with a bronze sculpture at the George W. Bush Presidential Center.

Antonio Vallisneri

Antonio Vallisneri (3 May 1661 – 18 January 1730), also rendered as Antonio Vallisnieri, was an Italian medical scientist, physician and naturalist.

Life
Vallisneri was born in Trassilico, a small village in Garfagnana, and graduated in medicine in 1684, in Reggio Emilia, under the guidance of Marcello Malpighi. A grand-uncle was the physician Cesare Magati.

He studied at Bologna, Venice, Padua and Parma and held the chairs of Practical Medicine first and Theoretical Medicine later at the University of Padua between 1700 and his death.

Influenced by famous thinkers such as Leibniz and Conti he belonged to the Galilean school of experimental scientists. He worked in biology, botany, veterinary medicine, hydrology and the newly born science geology.

Vallisneri died in Padua in 1730.

Importance
He is known for being one of the first researchers in medicine to have proposed abandoning the Aristotelian theories for an experimental approach based on the scientific principles suggested by Galileo Galilei. Vallisneri stated that scientific knowledge is best acquired through experience and reasoning. This principle was followed in his anatomical dissections and carefully drawn descriptions of insects. For this reason, his medical career was at the center of heated controversy, as many of his contemporaries could not abandon prevailing medieval theories, even in the face of glaring experimental evidence.

He also was keenly interested in the natural sciences, and over his lifetime collected numerous specimens of animals, minerals and other natural objects. His scientific method was limited when it came to interpreting fossil evidence on mountain tops; the only possibility he allowed for was a miraculous Biblical Flood (Flood geology) as the cause for their deposition.

He had a very clear and precise style of writing. In 1709 he joined Francesco Scipio Maffei and Apostolo Zeno in editing a literary journal, Giornale de' Letterati d'Italia, which had a brief life. Vallisneri's contribution to the use of language makes him one of the most admired science writers, in the tradition of Galilei, Francesco Redi and Lorenzo Magalotti. Vallisneri also followed Galilei's tracks in electing Italian as the language of choice for writing his treatises. This was a courageous choice in the scientific community of the time, which still used Latin as the “language of knowledge.”

Legacy
The freshwater plant genus Vallisneria commemorates him.

Welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed you've been doing some cleaning up around here. That's a great start and a it looks like you will be a fine addition to the Wikipedia community.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vercvactor

Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was keep (at least in some form) and move to correct spelling. Jitse Niesen (talk) 22:22, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Vercvactor
Very Very minor Roman God 412 Google hits very little for a Roman God almost of them non related or licened from here. Delete --JAranda | yeah 00:41, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep all figures from major mythologies. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 00:46, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Could there be a place to put this like List of minor Roman gods --JAranda | yeah 00:53, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Good idea, Listify minor roman gods. - Hahnchen 01:02, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I've corrected the capitalization in above list suggestion. "Minor" shouldn't have been capitalized and God is only capitalized when it refers to the highest power in a monotheistic religion. - Mgm|(talk) 09:02, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Listify, (or keep if there is demonstrable potential for significant expansion). -- BD2412 talk 01:22, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Same as BD2412 above Tintin 01:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Valid encyclopedia entry. Cnwb 05:24, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, probable hoax. There is no reference to any such god in Edith Hamilton's Mythology, and the word Vercvator isn't even a possible word of Latin. The handful of hits for Vercvactor as the Roman god of first ploughing on non-Wikipedia-mirror sites (as opposed to its use as a User name in various internet forums and the like) makes me suspect a hoax initiated outside Wikipedia and duplicated here in good faith. But a hoax nonetheless. --Angr/undefined 06:38, 30 September 2005 (UTC) I figured it out: Vercvactor is just a typo. The real spelling is Vervactor, and he's already mentioned at Ceres. Redirect to Ceres. --Angr/undefined 07:13, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, if not a hoax. It is mentioned on Pantheon.org. -- Kjkolb 06:44, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: the article on Pantheon was apparently created in 1997. -- Kjkolb 06:47, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I've just sent them an e-mail asking for published verification of "Vercvactor"'s existence. I'll keep you posted.
 * Redirect to Ceres as per Angr. -- Kjkolb 08:17, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, why redirect to Ceres when it's a different god altogether? Also, Agree with List of minor Roman gods--Kewp 14:44, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Because AFAICT he's only ever mentioned as a helper of Ceres. --Angr/undefined 15:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, move to correct spelling (obviously), hopefully expand, but if not eventually listify, if there are enough other Roman god substubs like this floating around. There's no point in such a list of there's only 1 or 2 gods in it. Also, keep in mind 426 hits for any minor thing from ancient Rome is the equvalent of 426,000 hits for anything sci-fi related today. -R. fiend 14:58, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and pertinent information and create a redirect at the correct spelling to Ceres. --Jacquelyn Marie 21:43, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Move to proper spelling and either keep or merge and redirect. -Sean Curtin 00:14, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Syntax Error (webcomic)
A non notable webcomic which can be found here. Although Alexa figures can be misleading, a ranking of over 2 million must mean it is not popular. A google search for syntax errors comic shows up nothing which would make this website more notable than any other, and a google search for syntax errors just gives pages about actual syntax errors.

Talk:Armed Forces of Armenia

Tables and a new wiki article
It seems as if somebody has copied and pasted most of the tables with slight adjustments onto the Armenian Armed Forces article, along with organizing it according to the branches. I like this idea, as Air Defense is a separate branch and its equipment chart has no place on the Army's article.

However, I do believe it is necessary to solve the issue of having duplicate tables on two pages regarding the exact same thing. Would an equipment article be needed, or shall we just delete the tables on one of the pages? - This has also been posted on the Army article's talk page. Retaurn (talk) 07:36, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

 * This is the general article of the Armenian Armed Forces. The article of the Armenian Army contains only the land forces branch of the Armenian Armed Forces. If you think the tables shouldn't be in two articles at the same time(it can by the way) you can remove them from the army's page. Not from this one. --AOnline (talk) 09:09, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Submission of the Clergy

The Submission of the Clergy was a process by which the Catholic Church in England gave up their power to formulate church laws without the King's licence and assent. It was passed first by the Convocation of Canterbury in 1532 and then by the Reformation Parliament in 1534. Along with other Acts passed by the Parliament, it further separated the Church from Rome.

Convocation
The Convocation of Canterbury met on 12 April 1532 after its last session ended in March. On 10 May Edward Foxe, the Bishop of Hereford, presented the Convocation with a schedule of three articles which King Henry VIII had sent to the Convocation for ratification. These articles said this:

 * the Church of England was to renounce its authority to make church law (canons) without royal licence;
 * the Convocation was to submit all existing canons to the scrutiny of a committee, which would be appointed by the King. Half of the members would be from Parliament (eight from each house) and half from the clergy. This committee would proclaim void all canons it found offensive;
 * the Convocation was to retain the remaining canons with the King's consent.

After this was presented, William Warham, the Archbishop of Canterbury, immediately adjourned the Convocation to the remote chapel of St. Catherine, part of Westminster Abbey infirmary, where the articles were read again. Warham prorogued the formal session of the Convocation for three days and led the prelates to St Dunstan's chapel for a private conference on how to respond to the articles. John Fisher, the Bishop of Rochester, was not present so a delegation was sent to Rochester to ask him what he thought of the articles. Fisher, taking into account of his previous views, most probably argued firm resistance to the King's demands.

The Convocation was to meet again but the King, accompanied by his councillors in Parliament, made a speech attacking the clergy on 11 May. The chronicler Edward Hall recorded the King's speech:

"Well beloved subjects, we thought that the clergy of our realm had been our subjects wholly, but now we have well perceived that they be but half our subjects, yea, and scarce our subjects; for all the prelates at their consecration make an oath to the Pope, clean contrary to the oath that they make to us, so that they seem to be his subjects, and not ours. The copy of both oaths I deliver here to you, requiring you to invent some order, that we be not thus deluded of our spiritual subjects."

Warham and the rest of the Convocation, after debate, suggested a compromise on the articles which consisted of the Convocation not making new canons without the King's consent and would submit all previous canons to the King himself for assent or rejection and not to a committee and that their legislative power would be ended 'during the King's natural life' only.

The King abruptly decreed that Warham should end the session and when the prelates met for the last time on 15 May Warham informed them of the King's decision and prorogued the Convocation until 4 November. Some of the King's most prominent councillors then arrived to demand that the clergy should agree to the articles without amendment. The councillors were the Duke of Norfolk, the Marquess of Exeter, the Earl of Oxford, the Earl of Wiltshire and William Sandys. After this confrontation, which lasted about an hour, the nobles left and the inferior clergy went to vote on the King's three articles. Eighteen of them voted 'no' to renouncing legislative authority, nineteen against the canons committee and to the third article. On receiving news of this rejection, Warham then advised the inferior clergy to retire because he thought the councillors might return at any moment. The Duke of Norfolk and a few others did return a few hours later but left after talking with Warham.

The Upper House of the Convocation voted on the articles with John Longland, the Bishop of Lincoln, Dr. Henry Standish, the Bishop of St. Asaph and John Stokesley, the Bishop of London speaking in favour of the articles but with some reservation. John Clerk, the Bishop of Bath and Wells was strongly opposed. A majority voted for the articles, and the Convocation was prorogued.

On 16 May, the Submission of the Clergy, as the three articles became known, was officially signed by representatives of the clergy and the bishops. The historian Michael Kelly, noting the scarce attendance of the vote, has written that the Submission was enacted by a "rump Convocation".

Parliament
In 1534 the Submission of the Clergy was confirmed by Parliament in the Act for the Submission of the Clergy and Restraint of Appeals. The historian Stanford Lehmberg argues that the possible need for parliamentary legislation for this may have come from a proposal from the Commons, rather than Thomas Cromwell. The parliamentary procedure for this Act resulted in a conference between the King and Parliament in which the Speaker addressed the King. In 1536 Parliament was asked again to re-enact the Submission of the Clergy, although the reasoning behind this decision is not known since the 1534 Act did not include an expiration date.

Martinizing Dry Cleaning

Martinizing Dry Cleaning is a dry cleaning franchise based in Berkley, Michigan and was founded in 1949. Martin Franchises, Inc., the parent company, is the largest dry cleaning franchise in the United States, with over 450 franchised stores worldwide.

History
The company was initially called One Hour Martinizing due to its commitment to provide dry cleaning services within a one-hour timeframe. This concept was pioneered in New York in 1949 by a chemist named Henry Martin, who had discovered a non-flammable solvent. At the time, flammable solvents were used in dry cleaning, which meant that garments would be left by the customer in-store, sent to a separate production facility to be cleaned and pressed, before returning to store for collection several days later. The discovery of the non-flammable solvent and its subsequent adoption revolutionized the dry cleaning industry as dry cleaning plants could be more conveniently located, which led to quicker processing times, and so better serving the needs of customers.

Martin Equipment Company was subsequently founded to manufacture specialized dry cleaning equipment, later becoming part of American Laundry Machinery in Ohio. The number of Martinizing franchises saw significant growth during the 1950s and 1960s, with franchisees required to pay a fixed annual fee and adhere to specific equipment and procedural standards. During this period, trademark slogans became established, such as "Fresh as a Flower in Just One Hour" and "the Most in Dry Cleaning". There was also an emphasis on standardization, including the use of two distinct colors, red and green, as part of the OHM scheme, which aimed to ensure consistency across franchises, a practice that continues to characterize various franchise models today.

Martinzing Dry Cleaning was bought by the Michigan-based company, The Huntington Company of Berkley, on November 7, 2014.

Company trends
According to data from Entrepreneur.com, the number of the company's franchises has been in steady decline since 2014. As of 2023, the company operates a total of 305 units, consisting of 138 units within the United States and 167 franchises internationally.

Year of death
he is listed under persons who have been executed as having died in 1944; his entry lists 1941. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.21.21.50 (talk • contribs).

Executions
"Pekurinen refused to wear a uniform or carry arms, and was therefore executed in Suomussalmi, becoming the last person to be sentenced to death in Finland."

Is this true? It can't be true if he really was executed in 1941, because there had to be executions after that as Finland was in war until 1945. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.222.50.237 (talk • contribs).

 * With Soviet union yes, but Finland fought against German forces in Lapland until 1945.

Park
I think that the name of the park in Helsinki should be "Pekurinen" not "Pekurisen" as typed. I haven't changed it as I know nothing about the Finnish language. I did change one line (about his orders to wear a uniform and carry a weapon)that looked as though it had been translated from another language, to make the English style flow better--AssegaiAli 03:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site

The John Fitzgerald Kennedy National Historic Site is the birthplace and childhood home of John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States. The house is at 83 Beals Street in the Coolidge Corner neighborhood of Brookline, Massachusetts. Kennedy is one of four U.S. presidents born in Norfolk County, Massachusetts. The property is now owned by the National Park Service; tours of the house are offered, and a film is presented.

The Kennedy home was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964, and was established as a National Historic Site on May 26, 1967.

History

The house was purchased by Joseph Patrick Kennedy Sr. on 20 August 1914 in preparation for his marriage to Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald on 7 October 1914.

John and his sisters Rosemary and Kathleen were born in the upstairs master bedroom. The family lived there until 1920, when the growth of the family motivated the Kennedys to move to a larger home just a few blocks away on the corner of Abbottsford and Naples Roads, just outside Boston. The Kennedys sold the Beals Street house to Joe Kennedy's advisor Edward Moore and his family. The Kennedys lived in the Abbottsford Road home until 1927, when Joe Kennedy's business interests prompted the family's move to Riverdale, New York City.

The Kennedy family was the third owner of the house on Beals Street. It was built in 1909, a period of rapid growth in Brookline. The Kennedys moved into the home, then the last on the street, after returning from their honeymoon in 1914. A few months after they were married, Joe Kennedy purchased a new Model T Ford that he used to commute to downtown, where he worked as the president of the Columbia Trust Bank. The "T" line to Coolidge Corner existed when the Kennedys were living in Brookline. Rose Kennedy would often walk from the Beals Street house down to the shopping district in Coolidge Corner, where there was an S.S. Pierce store—which replaced the Coolidge & Brothers General Store—among the other shops. Brookline was a rapidly growing suburb of Boston, and it appealed to the growing Kennedy family because the suburbs would have more space for the children to play than if they were raised in the crowded inner city of Boston.

In 1966, the Kennedy family repurchased the home. From 1966 to 1969, Rose Kennedy restored it to her recollection of its 1917 appearance. She wanted to restore the home to the hour of John's birth, but the home really paints a picture of a typical American home 1914–1920. About 19% of the artifacts in the home are original to the Kennedy family, either used in the Beals Street residence or in later homes and returned to Beals Street during the restoration. Rose Kennedy worked with an interior designer named Robert Luddington as she restored the home, and he was largely in charge of procuring the rest of the items in the home, which are either period antiques or reproductions.

Rose Kennedy donated the home to the National Park Service in 1967 as a memorial to her son. It is open to the public and visitors can take a ranger-guided tour or self-guided tours through the home.

Arson attack
On September 8, 1975, gangster Whitey Bulger and an unidentified associate tossed a Molotov cocktail into the building in retaliation for Senator Ted Kennedy's vocal support for Boston school desegregation. The two gangsters cut through a backyard and jumped a fence before arriving at the house. Bulger used black spray paint to scrawl “Bus Teddy” on the sidewalk just outside of the house. Going around to the back, Bulger lit the Molotov and tossed it through a window into the kitchen, which exploded on a gold carpet. Bulger and the associate were seen running from the scene but the witness could only remember they were wearing dark clothes.

Description
The house: Visitors can tour each of these rooms by both the ranger led and the self-guided tours.

The basement: The basement is the visitors' entrance and National Park visitor center. There is a public restroom and a small Eastern National retail shop. Visitors can view the exhibits and photographs and watch a film.

Living room: Visitors to the Kennedy home would have been shown into the living room, or parlor as it would have been called when the family lived there. Here, visitors can see both a space for formal entertaining within the home, but also a space where the family would relax in the evenings when the children were getting ready for bed and when Joe Kennedy returned from his office in Boston. The piano dominating the parlor belonged to Rose Kennedy and is one of the original pieces in the home. It was a wedding gift from two of her uncles.

Dining room: The dining room has the home's most complete collection of Kennedy artifacts. The china was Rose's wedding china. The table would not have been set with a formal place setting for day to day meals. Rose Kennedy set the table this way because as she was turning the house into a museum, she was expecting company. Meals were a time for the family to have lively discussions about topics that ranged from history, to politics, current events and religion. Rose was fond of saying "history is shaped by those who get their ideas across" and mealtime discussions were a staple in the Kennedy home. Meals were a formal affair, with the family assembling in the dining room and the food brought from the kitchen by a uniformed maid.

Master bedroom: The master bedroom is where Jack, Rosemary and Kathleen Kennedy were born. Jack Kennedy was born at 3:00pm on May 29, 1917. Rose Kennedy had seven of her nine children at home, and the same doctor, Dr. Good, delivered all of them, as well as the final two who were born in a hospital. The bedroom has several photographs, including the 6 month old baby pictures of Joe Jr., Jack, Rosemary, and Kathleen.

Nursery: The nursery has a bassinet that would eventually hold each of the nine Kennedy children, as well as a christening cap, gown, and a number of books and toys Joe Jr. and Jack would have played with. Visitors can see Jack's two favorite books: King Arthur and his Knights and Billy Whiskers and His Kids.

Guest bedroom: The guest bedroom showcases linens bearing Rose's initials, REF, and Rosemary Kennedy's toiletry set. The guest room was converted to a girl's bedroom as soon as Rosemary and Kathleen were born.

Boudoir: The boudoir was Rose's private space as well as her office space. She would use the desk to keep track of the accounts of the household and to do her correspondence. The desk showcases a card file. Rose kept an index card for each of her children where she would list important milestones in their medical history - things like vaccinations, major illnesses and hospital stays, as well as birthdays and confirmation dates. Jack Kennedy's card is on the desk.

Kitchen: The kitchen would have been the domain of the household's servants. It was modern for the time; the stove is a combination coal and gas, and the family had an electric toaster as well as a large icebox. Servants would have frequented the kitchen and the basement, which at the time would have been used for laundry.

3rd floor: The third floor is not included on the tours. It has two attic rooms the servants used. Rose Kennedy hired both a French and an Irish girl, Alice Michelin and Mary O'Donahue as the maid-of-all-work and nanny in the house. Their bedrooms were on the third floor. More information on domestic servants is on the park's website. The third floor was not restored by Rose Kennedy along with the rest of the house in the 1960s. This was due to the fact she did not have a complete memory of those rooms. Today, they are the park's administrative offices.

Visiting information
For the 2024 season, the site is open Thursday-Sunday, 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. through October 30. Thirty-minute guided tours are offered throughout most of the day on the hour and half hour. Self-guided options are available during the Open Houses from 12:00-1:00 p.m. and 4:00-5:00 p.m. Tours are free of charge. For additional details, please visit the site's website at: www.nps.gov/jofi.

Alpha Apodis

Alpha Apodis (Alpha Aps, α Apodis, α Aps) is the brightest star in the southern circumpolar constellation of Apus, with an apparent magnitude of approximately 3.825. It had the Greek alpha designation as part of the constellation which Johann Bayer called Apis Indica in his 1603 Uranometria star atlas. With a declination of –79°, this is a circumpolar star for much of the southern hemisphere. It can be identified on the night sky by drawing an imaginary line through Alpha Centauri and Alpha Circini then extending it toward the south celestial pole.

This is a giant star with a stellar classification of K2.5III, indicating that this star has consumed the hydrogen at its core and has evolved away from the main sequence. It has expanded to an estimated radius of about 65 times the radius of the Sun and is emitting 1,000 times the Sun's luminosity. The photosphere has an effective temperature of 4,090 K, giving the star the characteristic orange hue of a K-type star. Based upon parallax measurements, this star is 430 ± 20 light-years from the Earth. It is not known to have a companion.

Naming
In Chinese caused by adaptation of the European southern hemisphere constellations into the Chinese system, 異雀 (Yì Què), meaning Exotic Bird, refers to an asterism consisting of α Apodis, ζ Apodis, ι Apodis, β Apodis, γ Apodis, δ Octantis, δ1 Apodis, η Apodis, and ε Apodis. Consequently, α Apodis itself is known as 異雀八 (Yì Què bā, the Eighth Star of Exotic Bird.)

Garcinia prainiana

Garcinia prainiana, known as the button mangosteen or cherapu is a species of Garcinia. It has a flavor similar to, but distinct from, its cousin, the purple mangosteen, with an interesting taste some have compared to a tangerine, but unlike its cousin it has a tissue-thin skin rather than a hard rind, making it much easier to eat out-of-hand. Also unlike the purple mangosteen, it can be grown in a container. The fruit is cultivated in Southeast Asia, by a few backyard growers in South Florida, and at the Whitman Tropical Fruit Pavilion at Florida's Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.

It is a native of Malaysia and Thailand. The tree is small or medium-sized. It was featured in Malaysian 30 cents stamp, printed in 21-Feb-1999.

Gamma Apodis

Gamma Apodis (γ Aps, γ Apodis) is the Bayer designation for a star in the southern circumpolar constellation of Apus. From parallax measurements, the distance to this star can be estimated as 150 ± 4 ly. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.86. A stellar classification of G9 III identifies it as a giant star in the later stages of its evolution. It is an active X-ray source with a luminosity of 1.607 × 1030 erg s−1, making it one of the 100 strongest stellar X-ray sources within 50 parsecs of the Sun.

Naming
In Chinese caused by adaptation of the European southern hemisphere constellations into the Chinese system, 異雀 (Yì Què), meaning Exotic Bird, refers to an asterism consisting of γ Apodis, ζ Apodis, ι Apodis, β Apodis, δ Octantis, δ1 Apodis, η Apodis, α Apodis and ε Apodis. Consequently, γ Apodis itself is known as 異雀四 (Yì Què sì, the Fourth Star of Exotic Bird).

John Pender

Sir John Pender KCMG GCMG FSA FRSE (10 September 1816 – 7 July 1896) was a Scottish submarine communications cable pioneer and politician.

Early life
Pender was born in the Vale of Leven, Scotland, the son of James Pender and his wife, Marion Mason. He was educated at Glasgow High School. He became a successful merchant in textile fabrics, first in Glasgow, then in Manchester (where he had a warehouse in Peter Street near The Great Northern Warehouse). He lived at Middleton Hall, County Linlithgow, Foots Cray Place, Sidcup, Kent, and Arlington House, 18 Arlington Street London.

Telegraph companies
In London 1866, Pender was the leading financier/director and Chairman of the Companies involved who, with his colleagues, undertook the first successful laying of the transatlantic cable from Valentia Island off the coast of Ireland to Heart's Content, Newfoundland and Labrador. This cable was the most successful and commercially viable of all the transatlantic cables and was 100% British financed, unlike the previous transatlantic cable-laying attempts, which had had some financial backing from American Investors. The Anglo-American Telegraph Company (formerly the Atlantic Telegraph Company) and The Gutta Percha Company and Glass, Elliott (Greenwich, London) merged into the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company 'Telcon' (which was taken over decades later by British Insulated Callender's Cables), and laid the first successful cable in 1866 and ended up manufacturing and laying all of Eastern Telegraph's cables and most of the submarine telegraph cables of the rest of the world.

He founded 32 telegraph companies, including Eastern Telegraph Company, Eastern and South African Telegraph, Western Telegraph Europe and Azores Telegraph Company, Australasia and China Telegraph Company, London Platino-Brazilian Telegraph Company, Pacific and European Telegraph Company which later became Cable & Wireless. In 1934, Imperial and International Communications, formerly the Eastern Telegraph Company (the amalgamation of those 32 telegraph companies), became Cable & Wireless. The new name was designed to more clearly reflect the combined radio and cable services which it offered, without reference to the Empire. Cable & Wireless is one of the world's leading international communications companies. It operates through two standalone business units. International and Europe, Asia & U.S.

Together with City financiers Leopold Salomons and Jabez Balfour, Pender founded the investment underwriting firm the Trustees, Executors and Securities Insurance Corporation, Limited in December 1887.

Parliament
Pender represented Totnes in parliament as a Liberal MP in 1862 to 1866 (the seat was disenfranchised by the Reform Act 1867), and Wick Burghs from 1872 until his defeat in 1885. He was unsuccessful Liberal Unionist candidate in Wick Burghs in 1886 and in Govan at the by-election in 1889, and again represented Wick Burghs from 1892 to 1896. He was made a K.C.M.G. in 1888 and was promoted in 1892 to be G.C.M.G.

His eldest son James (b. 1841) Sir James Pender, 1st Baronet, who was MP. for Mid Northamptonshire in 1895–1900, was created a baronet in 1897; and his third son, John Denison-Pender (b. 1855), was created a K.C.M.G. in 1901, the year in which he was living at Footscray Place in Sidcup.

Railways and paintings
Pender also had interests in railways and was persuaded to invest in the Isle of Man Steam Railway. As a result of this, No. 3 was named Pender in his honour. He was a director of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway in the United States, which connected major midwestern cities and stimulated their economies. In 1883 he founded Yule Ranch in western North Dakota. Pender, Nebraska was named for him.

He also amassed a considerable collection of paintings, including some of the works of J. M. W. Turner, including Giudecca La Donna Della Salute and San Georgio, a view of Venice. Exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1841 and arguably Turner's best work, it was sold in 1897 for 1,650 guineas to Donald Currie. A century later it broke all auction records for works by a British artist when it was sold to Steve Wynn (entrepreneur) through Christie's (New York) for US$35.8 Million in April 2006 This painting is one of four of Turner's paintings of Venice to be in private hands. Also in Pender's collection were the works An Event in the forest by Landseer, 'Portrait of Princess Sobieski' by Joshua Reynolds, and works by John Everett Millais, Gainsborough, and Canaletto. The collection was sold in parts the year after John Pender's death.

Family relationships

At the time of his death in Foots Cray Place, Kent, on 7 July 1896, he controlled companies having a capital of 15 million sterling and owning 73640 nmi of cables (one third of the cables in the world), these cables formed the base of the networks that years later developed into the World Wide Web.

Pender was married twice: firstly in 1840 to Marion Cairns, who died giving birth to his son Henry in 1841 (their eldest son James survived); and in 1851 he married Emma Denison (d.1890). They also had a son John Denison Pender (1855–1929) and two daughters Marion Denison Pender (1856–1955), who married George William Des Voeux, and Anne Denison Pender (1853–1902). The girls were painted in an Aesthetic Movement portrait titled "Leisure Hours" by John Everett Millais in 1864 Detroit Institute of Arts. Pender is buried in the grounds of All Saints' Church, Rectory Lane Foots Cray with a fine but simple Celtic cross memorial, and is also remembered via the inauguration of the Pender Chair from the money raised by the memorial fund at the time of his death.

Trustees, Executors and Securities Insurance Corporation, Limited
Together with City financiers Leopold Salomons and Jabez Balfour, Pender founded the investment underwriting firm the Trustees, Executors and Securities Insurance Corporation, Limited in December 1887.

Untitled
blanking a page to remove the neutrality dispute tag and then recreating it does not solve the neutrality dispute. Blanking the talk page at the same time is just bad form, is considered vandalism, and may lead to the deleting editor being blocked from editing. Gentgeen 02:34, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

 * There are several issues with this article, which I'll try to explain. First of all, Wikipedia's oldest and most important policy is Neutral point of view (NPOV).  From the policy page, To whatever extent possible, encyclopedic writing should steer clear of taking any particular stance other than the stance of the neutral point of view. Examples of violations of the NPOV policy are:

 * The caption of the lead photograph (Here is a picture of our beloved father, Bishop Karas.) violates the NPOV policy by taking the point of view that his exelency is beloved by all the readers of the article.
 * Sorial was a child who was cherished by everybody. Obviously, he was cherished by his parents, and apparently by the unnamed RC brother as well, but that can hardly be extended to "everybody"
 * His love for everyone was great. Again, this should be attributed to someone, even if it is a quote from his excelency.

 * Other issues include the general tone of the article. From the Manual of style, Wikipedia articles cannot be based on one person's opinions or experiences. Thus, 'I' or 'we' can never be used, except, of course, when they appear in a quotation. For similar reasons, avoid the use of "one," as in: "One should note that some critics have argued in favor of the proposal," as it sounds more personal than encyclopedic.  Several examples of violations of this principal include:
 * I never had the opportunity to know him well
 * Truly, I admire Bishop Karas because he fought through his illness
 * We have all heard of his miracles in his childhood, when I read about saints and martyrs I was surprised at their courage and devotion they had.

 * This last quote is also troubling, as it assumes prior knowldge on the part of the reader. Personally, I've never heard of the miracles performed during his excelency's childhood.

 * Note, I don't think this article should be deleted. There is good information here on a topic that is important yet somewhat under-represented in the encyclopedia, namely eastern Christianity. I'd be happy to work with anyone involved to improve the article into a more encyclopedic tone, however, blanking the article and discussion page are tactics that have been used by others in the past who have refused to be cooperative.

I've tried to make a start dePOVing this article. Please people, I know you love your bishops and popes and religious figures of all stripes, but copy pasting stories about hearing voices and "even at an early age he dedicated his life to Jesus Christ" do not a good encyclopedia article make. Stick to verifiable facts.

Non notable webcomic which can be found here. The comic looks defunct with a run of 29 strips on their archive. Nothing I can find suggests it's more notable than any other website. - Hahnchen 01:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as a webcomic of little influence or importance. It's a shame, too, Dave McGuire is a nice guy, and if I keep up these delete votes they're going to ban me from #4tt. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 06:20, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
