Great to see you back!
Good to see you back. If you can, take a peek over Wikipedia talk:Bots every so often. The occasional bot request requires someone's else input than my own. --AllyUnion (talk) 19:04, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Yeah, I'd noticed you'd become pretty much the lord and master (and sole inhabitant) of Bots. I've been trying to leave a note there when I have something worthwhile to say on a proposal, but I'll redouble my efforts. --fvw *  19:27, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't have much time to contribute to the Wikipedia as I use to, but I figured I'd make the most of watching a page which has been neglected by a great deal of the community. --AllyUnion (talk) 21:27, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

why'd you unblock 212.50.183.100?
he's blanking articles, and has been warned repeatedly.. what's the point? Pfalstad 19:16, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yup, that one seems to deserve a block, I've reblocked him. See WP:AN for why he was unblocked in the first place. --fvw *  19:22, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey, thanks for the timely block. Much obliged, --Dvyost 20:23, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for restoring my user page. It seems that since I started being active in RC patrol, vandals don't like me... :) ≈ jossi fresco ≈ 22:40, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Your vandalism
I do not appreciate your activities as a common vandal at Open Season (2006 movie). Eclecticology 23:29, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Please don't make baseless accusations. --fvw *  23:33, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * There's nothing baseless about it. It's a fact that he deleted the article without good reason.  Eclecticology 23:39, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It was deleted as a recreation of a previously AfDed article, which is perfectly legitimate. --fvw *  23:41, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Not at all. It was posted to Wiktionary where it does not belong since it is encyclopedic.  A few things were added, it was restructured from what was put on Wiktionary, and an IMDB link was added.  It's a whole new article which should be discussed before being deleted. Eclecticology 23:51, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You're right that it doesn't belong at wiktionary, however it isn't wanted here either. If you think things have changed enough for an article to be appropriate, try WP:VfU. --fvw *  23:54, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

I invite you to join the Toolserver. May we be able to collaborate a bot project or two. --AllyUnion (talk) 23:43, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks, and though some collaboration on bots sounds both fun and useful, and I can certainly think of some interesting things to do with live replication of the database, I don't think I have any need for access right now. I didn't know this existed though, so I'm bound to think up some mad ideas and want access soon. 23:50, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

BigDaddy777
Fvw,

User BigDaddy777 has informed me that he is blocked for 24 hours, for violating 3RR.

I have some questions about this:
 * 1) Since he does not appear to be named in the complaint, why was he blocked?
 * 2) Was he blocked for other behavior besides 3RR or sock puppetry? If not:
 * 3) If it was for sock puppetry, what is the evidence of that, if any?
 * 4) Which, if any, of the edits listed on the complaint have been attributed to him, and on what evidence?
 * 5) I noticed one of the IPs was alleged to be from Halliburton. As BigDaddy777 seems to be a truck driver (I am double checking this), how would it be he has access to HB's corporate servers?

Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions. I will leave them on the 3RR page as well, in case someone else has the answers.

paul klenk talk 02:03, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * It seemed likely to me he was the sockpuppeteer behind those IPs, given his past editing behaviour and the fact that these anonymous users suddenly popped up when he needed reversions. --fvw *  02:07, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * "Likely..." What actual evidence in this case, based on the edits themselves?  Others on that page have also violated 3RR in the past.  What past behavior bears on these specific edits?  Are you familiar enough with his writing style to see any correlations in style, etc.?  I am, and I do not believe it is him.  Further (of course) he is denying this.  Are you also aware that guettarda and elee... have been egregiously and maliciously throwing around accusations and behaving extraordinarily uncivil towards him; if not, does that give you cause to rethink this?  What reversions did he "need"?  It seems to me you are going on an unreasonably arbitrary basis, especially since he was not listed on the complaint, and it does not appear

 * I would like to cordially ask you to consider unblocking him while this so-called evidence is being compiled. If, after he is unblocked, it can be proven he sock-puppeted or broke 3RR, I will allow you to block me for 24 hours (in addition to re-blocking BigDaddy777, if you so desire).

 * I will wait for your response. Please address my specific questions.  Your last answer was extremely vague and general.

 * Thank you in advance for your time.  paul klenk talk 02:20, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * They were reversions, so there was no specific edit style. If I'm handling 3RR reports of others on that page I'll process them just as I have this one. --fvw<SMALL> * </SMALL> 02:26, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the clarification; it makes sense. Reversions are reversions.

 * So, getting back to my questions, which did you attribute to BigDaddy and on what evidence? Why was he blocked when he was not named?  I noticed guettarda (I think) accused him of making anonymous edits.  This is only partially true; he used an anonymous IP but always signed his edits "Big Daddy on the road," and no evidence has ever been provided that he has ever sock puppeted.  Of course there are lots of reckless allegations, but no evidence of any kind?

 * Please explain what policy Big Daddy violated to get him blocked.  I apologize if I sound indignant; this is not personal -- but you are not explaining this block, nor are you specifically addressing these questions.   paul klenk talk 02:40, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Based on timing and bigdaddy's behaviour I suspect that they were sockpuppets of Bigdaddy's. I'm can't give a twelve page powerpoint presentation of statistical correlations, it's a judgement call. --fvw<SMALL> * </SMALL> 02:48, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Based on your evasions and terseness, your complete lack of actual evidence or refusal to provide it, your refusal to answer direct questions, and the utter lack of evidence in the noticeboard report, and your last smart-aleck remark, I would have to say that your judgement call seems, in my humble opinion, a highly questionable one. If you do not have time to address this now, please say so.  But I will be asking for something more substantive in the future.  If BigDaddy is to be held accountable for... whatever, I am sure you will agree it is reasonable to expect that you, too, should be held accountable.

 * Please unblock him immediately based this utter lack of evidence, and I will let my previous offer stand. Thanks for listening.   Respectfully,  paul klenk talk 02:56, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Sigh. 2 separate 3RR violations in his first month on Wikipedia definitely doesn't speak well for BD777... though Paul Klenk has apparently appointed yourself as his guardian, I fail to understand why he'd accuse an admin of bias and evasion each time in which BD has clearly violated 3RR (and garnered a block), instead of simply abiding by the decision and improving the behavior. Accusing Kate and Fvw each time BD777 is blocked strikes me as very uncivil on his part. -- RyanFreisling @ 03:25, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, if there's evasion, there's evasion; it's not uncivil to firmly but politely point it out. You seem to to rely on past allegations to support current allegations, even when there is no evidence.  We all have our little patterns.  If you care to be Fvw's guardian, be my guest.  I think in this case, Ryan, if you just look at the actual evidence in the last 3RR report (if, indeed you're interested in it, and not just following me around), and provide your own individual opinion on it, I can give your "weighing in" here some credence.  If the facts are of no interest to you, just say so -- but in that case, please do not object when others are trying to establish the facts.  If the evidence is there, it is there; I am willing to be blocked for 24 hours if it can be proven.  I think that's the least I can do.  I am only asking Fvw to stop evading my actual and specific questions are let me know what the evidence is, if any, besides his/her "hunch."  And if users can be blocked based on hunches, I can live with that -- if that practice can be supported by stated policy.  If not, everyone in this matter must be held equally accountable, not just the people we don't like.  I will not return in kind your allegations of my so-called bad behavior.   paul klenk talk 03:37, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * "please do not object when others are trying to establish the facts." You misdescribe my actions again, to no avail. You see evasion and you 'firmly but politely point it out'. However, you're wrong. It's not evasion. You are incorrect and you refuse to see it. It's common that you seem to want a special response, according to your own 'frame', from everyone you speak with who differs from your POV. Your 'welcome' posts on anon talk pages (those anons that oppose your POV) are often rife with such excessive demands - a bullying technique. The rules are the rules, your suggestions are outside the rules and your ascription of motive and bias to others is erroneous. And bullying sysops is just out of line. Put simply, it's not bad faith for others to refuse to accomodate, or even ignore, your requests/demands when they are beyond the traditional methods of this community. -- RyanFreisling @ 03:45, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, I post welcome messages to almost every anon I see on pages where I edit; it is you who choose to focus on certain ones. I also encourage most of them to become logged in, and try to describe the benefits of that.  I can think of only one (correct me if I'm wrong) who objected to my comments.  It is amusing to see you come here to this page, and attempt to smear me with some sort of innuendo about the past, to discredit my simple and direct attempts to estabish some facts in his latest 3RR and the blocking which followed.  And now, Fvw is silent.  Also, Ryan, you do not define the rules on this site.  What suggestions am I making that are outside the rules?  And how is my asking a sysop direct questions "bullying"?  Are sysops accountable to no one?  Is it not possible that a mistake has been made?  One of the halmarks of good wikiquette is admitting when you're wrong -- it's nothing to be ashamed of.  If you think I'm out of line, you are entitled to that, but saying it is so does not make it so.  I am not the focus of this discussion, as you are attempting to divert it.  The focus of my requests and questions to Fvw is to provide the evidence behind the block.  Surely you do not wnat users blocked because of smears, past allegations, innuendo, and guilt by association, when the actual evidence in the current case does not exist.  Show me, Ryan, the evidence that BD made any of those reverts, or is a sock puppet, or has ever anonymously edited without signing his name to his edits. Just provide the evidence.  Also, I freely admit that I am capable of erroneously acribing motive.  I can only go on the evidence I see; if there is evidence which refutes it, I will see it.  I do not see how asking someone direct questions, in an attempt to resolve a dispute, is "beyond the traditional methods of this community."  I do hope that following people around, smearing them, in order to deflect attention from their concerns, is not traditional here.  But in your case, it seems to be a favorite practice.   You are not doing Fvw any good by encouraging him/her to base user blocks on smears.  His/her credibility as a sysop would suffer if your example is followed.   By the way, Fvw, if you do not care to have me or us use your page for this discussion, I can make my user page available.  But, Fvw, I would like answers to my questions, and if I have said anything that has given you offense, I would ask you address me directly about them, without a surrogate.  This is an attempt to resolve a dispute.   paul klenk talk 04:23, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Again, you misdirect. This, followed by this was the kind of welcome message I was talking about (not a standard 'welcome' template), and is exactly the kind of 'outside the requirements' bullying I refer to. One of the hallmarks of Wikipedia is indeed admitting when you're wrong. As evidenced in your post here, you find it difficult at first to admit you are wrong.
 * I'm not smearing you. The rest of your post, in so much as it avoids responsibility for your own actions and continues a familiar cycle designed to leave you blameless, but destined instead to leave you misunderstood and unresponded to, is patently circular. There is no smear here. Please be more accurate in your descriptions. And last, I'm not following anyone - Fvw's page was already on my watchlist, as is my right. -- RyanFreisling @ 04:30, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Paul, I happen to agree that a mistake was likely made in the case of Anon-67... but only after extensive review of his(?) history and commentary. If Fvw drew an incorrect conclusion here it was certainly not an unreasonable or biased one. He hasn't been involved in the discussion and it would be an easy mistake to make. Especially as Anon-64 in that discussion seems equally likely to actually BE a sock-puppet (recent appearance, knowledge of Wiki policies & procedures, correlating interests/times, et cetera) and BD777 HAS stated that 'attempts to block him will be futile because of the 100s of IP addresses he has access to'. Yes, they could be three different people innocent of this charge, but it was not wholly unreasonable to assume otherwise under the circumstances.

To return the 'friendly advice' you put on my talk page, I think you need to take a step back and consider your own impartiality here. You describe BigDaddy777's actions as 'defending himself' while saying those he is arguing with are 'acting in bad faith'. You angrily react to suggestions of sockpuppetry by BD777 while simultaneously insinuating that his critics are engaged in the same. Is this equitable? Does this 'aggressive defense' serve to rehabilitate BD777's image or merely perpetuate the downward spiral?

If one or more of the individuals blocked was innocent then this would clearly be unfair... but not malicious. Mistakes happen. A 24 hour hold is not unduly burdensome, and those of us in that discussion who were NOT blocked have attempted to reduce the impact by cutting back on changes and waiting for the others to return so perhaps we can DISCUSS how to proceed rather than switching back and forth madly. May I suggest that it might be more effective to note your disagreement with Fvw's conclusion here and work to improve the situation rather than making it a cause for yet another fight? --CBDunkerson 11:36, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Soft talk does not change the fact that a very unpopular user (with some people) has been blocked based on insufficient evidence at a time when he needs to present an onslaught of evidence at an arbit (so I would argue that it IS burdensome as it prohibits him from defending himself and just adds more evidence against him). Paul is permitted to politely request the admin to present his evidence and argue that it just wasn't there. There is NO problem with what Paul has done. Admins are not a protected class here and if a mistake HAS been made, the proper reponse it to undo it ASAP instead of just ignoring it because it was ONLY 24 hours. This is not the way to run things IMHO. I thought that getting locked for sockpuppetry would require more evidence that the anon users were actually the same eprson other than that the anon user seemed to have a similar politcal idealogy. Is that all that's required now? I hope not.Gator1 12:54, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

for your assistance with reverting the Wik psycopath and his ever-growing army of puppets. Is there a practical way of permanently blocking his IP range/s ? --Gene_poole 04:28, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid not, but he's easy enough to rollback. Let me know if he moves to other articles so I can watch those.
 * Could we lay off the personal attacks by the way? I know nobody's very fond of wik right now, but making personal attacks doesn't help. --fvw<SMALL> * </SMALL> 04:32, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the advice - I'll be sure to let you know of any other vandalism that I become aware of. Re name-calling, I think I've been pretty restrained in dealing with Wik over the past 3 years, despite taking a barrage of abuse from him, so I can't really say I feel any remorse for pointing out that aspects of his behaviour have a lot in common with the symptoms of various psychiatric disorders. I'll try to restrain my observations on that front in future. --Gene_poole 04:43, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

It's a trick to save from having to click thousands of checkboxes on the undelete page to remove a few revisions from page history.

Something for you to know
I have decided to return to Wikipedia to sporadically edit articles, in spite of that fact that you and other arrogant users blindly decided to not support me on my RfA due to a incident with a vandal, and a known provoker of edit wars (i.e. I am talking about Gadugi and DreamGuy respectively). You, therefore,are perhaps one of my worst enemies on this site; your complete lack of judgement cost me an RfA, and apparently you don't realize that I have done better work here than errors. You can ignore my message, my comments whatever, but I really consider your action an error. Calling someone an idiot should not have cost me what it did. Generally, I think you are - well maybe you don't want to know. Consider me an enemy. How is that for NPA?Molotov (talk)  18:31, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Why do you persist in falsely claiming that you are deleting an article that has been recreated? Why do you cling so mindlessly to this blatant falsehood?

I listed it on AfD, yet you closed the debate with that falsehood. What on earth do you think you are doing? I refuse to believe that you intentionally lie, but how can I possibly reconcile you repeated blatantly false statements with an assumption of good faith? --Tony Sidaway Talk 00:43, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

It's not identical at all--as the author I can assure you of that. Indeed the most significant events it describes had not transpired when the old article was deleted.

List of Australians in foreign prisons
Hi Fvw, please review the history of the cited page and the Stephen Sutton material in particular. A link to Sutton's own page is appropriate for an encyclopaedic entry about Sutton, but links to unrelated sites, specifically http://foreignprisoners.com is not.

Removing valid and pertinent information from a Wikipedia entry is indeed vandalism. Please leave the link to Sutton's own site, set up by his sister Ann Cluse (http://stephensutton.com) intact. I will agree to removal of the information regarding the Page Protection request, but the link to the site set up by Stephen's sister is appropriate.

thanks, Diana Elgar

 * Wikipedia is not a web directory, nor is it a soapbox to promote your views from. The web link is inappropriate in the list of prisoners article. --fvw<SMALL> * </SMALL> 01:53, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about the misplacement of my comment. I am not soapboxing. The link to the site set up by Sutton's family is appropriate, unless extrnal links to pertinent material are not permitted on Wikipedia- which they clearly are. thanks, Diana Elgar

 * No - that's not vandalism (sheesh - what's with people calling good-faith edits vandalism these days?). Also, links in there like that in lists are generally not appropriate - if it was a article about her it would be. At the very least it should just be an external link (in the external link section).

...Politics comes from the Greek term 'polis' what means something like "The Public".

Well, no not really. The polis was a city state and politics was the way that the greeks governed i.e. made decisions for the group.

The reference to the polis is made farther down in the article.

More importantly though encyclopedia articles ought to be written in an authoritive style. Phrases like "means something like" should be avoided. Be bold, be bold.Ace Diamond 16:34, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Marguerite Clark

Helen Marguerite Clark (February 22, 1883 – September 25, 1940) was an American stage and silent film actress. As a movie actress, at one time Clark was second only to Mary Pickford in popularity. With a few exceptions and some fragments, most of Clark's films are considered lost.

Early life

Born in Avondale, Cincinnati, Ohio on February 22, 1883, she was the third child of Augustus "Gus" James and Helen Elizabeth Clark. She had an older sister, Cora, and an older brother named Clifton. Clark's mother Helen died on January 21, 1893. Her father worked in his self-owned successful haberdashery located in downtown Cincinnati before his death on December 29, 1896. Following his death, Clark's sister Cora was appointed her legal guardian and removed her from public school to further her education at Ursuline Academy.

Stage career (1899-1914)
Marguerite Clark finished school at age 16, decided to pursue a career in the theatre, making her first stage appearance as a member of the Strakosh Opera Company in 1899.

She made her Broadway debut in 1900. The 17-year-old performed at various venues. In 1903, she was seen on Broadway opposite hulking comedian DeWolf Hopper in Mr. Pickwick. The 6 ft Hopper dwarfed the "petite and daintly" Clark who stood four-foot-ten-inches (1.5 meters). She starred opposite Hopper again in Happyland in 1905. Several adventure-fantasy roles followed. In 1909, Clark starred in the whimsical costume play The Beauty Spot, establishing the fantasy stories which would soon become her hallmark. In 1910, Clark appeared in The Wishing Ring, a play directed by Cecil DeMille which was later made into a motion picture by Maurice Tourneur. That same 1910 season had Clark appearing in Baby Mine, a popular play produced by William A. Brady.

In 1912, Clark performed in a lead role with John Barrymore, Doris Keane and Gail Kane in the play The Affairs of Anatol, later made into a motion picture by Clark's future movie studio Famous Players–Lasky and directed by Cecil DeMille. That same year, she starred in a retelling of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The classic tale was adapted for the stage by Winthrop Ames (writing under the pseudonym Jessie Braham White), who closely oversaw its production at his Little Theatre in New York and personally selected the lead actress. Clark expressed her delight in the role, and the play had a successful run into 1913. Clark's popularity led to her signing a contract in 1914 to make motion pictures with Adolph Zukor's Famous Players Film Company, and over the next two years she was cast in starring roles in more than a dozen features. She then reprised her stage role in a film that would define the Clark persona—the influential 1916 screen version of Snow White.

After seeing Clark’ performance in a revival of Merely Mary Ann (1914), film producer Adolph Zukor signed her to make motion pictures with his Famous Players Film Company.

Film career
At age 31, it was relatively late in life for a film actress to begin a career with starring roles, but the diminutive Clark had a little-girl look, like Mary Pickford, that belied her years. Also, film was not developed or mature enough to showcase Clark at her youthful best at the turn of the century. These were some of the reasons established Broadway stars refused early film offers. Feature films were unheard of when Clark was in her early 20s. She made her first appearance on screen in the short film Wildflower, directed by Allan Dwan.

Marguerite Clark's emergence as an outstanding film actor was acknowledged by 1915, when Moving Picture World, in a review of The Goose Girl, based on a 1909 best-selling novel by Harold MacGrath, reported that Clark “conquers her audience in an instant.” She performed in the feature-length production The Seven Sisters (1915), directed by Sidney Olcott, and she reprised a Broadway role, starring in the first feature-length film version of Snow White (1916).

Clark was directed in this by J. Searle Dawley, as well as in a number of films, notably when she played the characters of both "Little Eva St. Clair" and "Topsy" in the feature Uncle Tom's Cabin (1918).

Clark starred in Come Out of the Kitchen (1919), which was filmed in Pass Christian, Mississippi, at Ossian Hall. The same year, she enrolled as a yeowoman in the naval reserves. Clark made all but one of her 40 films with Famous Players–Lasky, her last with them in 1920 titled Easy to Get, in which she starred opposite silent film actor Harrison Ford. Her next film, in 1921, was made by her own production company for First National Pictures distribution. As one of the most popular actresses going into the 1920s, and one of the industry's best paid, her name alone was enough to ensure reasonable box office success. As such, Scrambled Wives was made under her direction, following which she retired at age 38 to be with her husband at their country estate in New Orleans.

Critic Alice Hall, writing in Picturegoer magazine (April 1921), observed that the 34-year-old Clark, near the end of her film career “seems to have discovered the secret of perpetual youth; and with it moreover, to have combined the grace and charm which the wisdom of experience alone can bring.”

Pickford and Clark “rivalry”
Mary Pickford and Marguerite Clark were working at the same movie studio, Famous Players–Lasky, as they emerged as major Hollywood stars of the silent film era. While the two remained personally disengaged, a “definite rivalry” developed over their respective critical and popular successes.

According to film historian Paul O’Dell, the competition was evidenced primarily by the apparent hostility between Pickford's mother Charlotte and Clark's mother Helen and older sister, Cora. The rivalry became explicit in 1918 when Motion Picture Magazine conducted a poll among movie fans that garnered Pickford 158,199 votes to Clark's 138,852 (53% to 47%).

As to Pickford's narrow margin of success over Clark in popularity, film producer Samuel Goldwyn, writing in his 1923 memoir Behind the Screen, provides this assessment: "Mary Pickford long outlasted her fair rival. Why was this? Marguerite Clark was beautiful, she was exquisitely graceful, and she brought to the screen a more finished stage technique and a more spacious background than did Miss Pickford. My answer to this question applies not only to Miss Clark, but all other actresses who have flashed, meteor-like, across the screen horizon. First of all, she did not have Mary Pickford's absorbing passion for work. Secondly, she did not possess the other artist's capacity for portraying fundamental human emotion: simple and direct and poignant. Mary goes to the heart, much as does a Stephen Foster melody. Herein is the success of a popularity so phenomenally sustained."

Personal life
On August 15, 1918, Clark married New Orleans, Louisiana, plantation owner and millionaire businessman—then a US Army Lieutenant—Harry Palmerston Williams, a marriage that ended with the death of Williams on May 19, 1936 in an aircraft crash. After his death, Clark owned Wedell-Williams Air Service Corporation, which had built and flown air racers, along with other aviation enterprises, until sold in 1937.

Death
After the death of her husband, Clark moved to New York City where she lived with her sister Cora. On September 20, 1940, she entered LeRoy Sanitarium where she died five days later of pneumonia. A private funeral was held at Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel on September 28. She was cremated and buried with her husband in Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans.

For her contribution to the motion picture industry, Marguerite Clark has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6304 Hollywood Boulevard.

Nawanagar State

Nawanagar was an Indian princely state in the historical Halar region, located on the southern shores of the Gulf of Kutch. It was ruled by the Jadeja Rajput dynasty and became a part of newly formed India. Its capital city was Nawanagar city, now known as Jamnagar. It had an area of 3791 sqmi and a population estimated at 336,779 in 1901. Its rulers, who use the title of "Jam Saheb" are of the same clan as the Rao of Kutch. They were entitled to a 13-gun salute. The state flag was a rectangular red flag with a white elephant, near and facing the hoist. During the British, the state was part of the Kathiawar Agency, within the Gujarat Division of Bombay Presidency.

The state had a pearl fishery and much of its wealth came from this. Nawanagar is also famous for its late ruler Jam Saheb Ranjitsinhji (died 1933), who was a famous cricket player at Cambridge in England and represented England in Test cricket, before his accession to the throne.

History
Nawanagar was founded in 1540 by Jam Sri Rawalji, a descendant of the Jadeja ruler of Kutch, and was thereafter in an almost constant state of war with its neighbours and with the Mughal Empire. Two such major wars were the Battle of Mithoi and Battle of Bhuchar Mori fought in 1591. The "Walker Treaty of 1807" brought peace to the Kathiawar states for the first time in several generations. Nawanagar came under British protection on 22 February 1812.

K. S. Ranjitsinhji was one of the world's greatest cricket players and, later, became Jam Saheb in 1907 until 1933. The inclusive circle of eight players promoted excellence in cricket, both in the county and domestic games. After his death, Ranji Trophy, a domestic first-class cricket championship played in India between different city and state sides, was started in 1934 by Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Jam Saheb Shri Sir Ranjitsinhji remained the chancellor of the Chamber of Princes (1931–1933). After his death, in 1933, he was succeeded by his nephew Jam Saheb Shri Sir Digvijaysinhji, who became its chancellor (1937–1944) and continued to promote the octet circle in excellence in cricket, academics and welfare. In 1942 the Maharaja set up a refugee camp for Polish children in Balachadi.

Nawanagar was one of the first princely states to sign the Instrument of Accession in 1948 after Indian independence. Afterwards, the late ruler, Digvijaysinhji, served as the first Rajpramukh of Kathiawad, then represented his country at the United Nations.

In 1949, the princely states of Nawanagar and Dhrol, Jalia Dewani in Kathiawar merged into the new state of Saurashtra. On 19 June 1959, the boundaries of the district were enlarged by the inclusion of the adjoining Okhamandal, and the district was renamed Jamnagar. This district became part of the new state of Gujarat on the division of the State of Bombay on 1 May 1960.

Jewellery collection
The Maharaja Jamsaheb of Nawanagar were also known for their jewellery collection; especially Ranjithsinhji, whose Emerald collection according to Jacques Cartier was "unequaled in the world, if not in quantity, then certainly in quality". The collection included an emerald and pearl necklace, an art deco emerald and diamond necklace designed by Jacques Cartier and an Emerald collar or choker also designed by Jacques Cartier.

The 61.5 carat (12.3 g) whisky-coloured diamond, "The Eye of the Tiger", was mounted by Cartier in a turban aigrette for the JMaharaja or Maharaja of Nawanagar in 1934.

Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure

The Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) radio band, as defined by the United States Federal Communications Commission, is part of the radio frequency spectrum used by WLAN devices and by many wireless ISPs.

As of March 2021, U-NII consists of eight ranges. U-NII 1 through 4 are for 5 GHz WLAN (802.11a and newer), and 5 through 8 are for 6 GHz WLAN (802.11ax) use. U-NII 2 is further divided into three subsections.

Wireless ISPs generally use 5.725–5.825 GHz. In the USA licensed amateur radio operators are authorized 5.650–5.925 GHz by Part 97.303 of the FCC rules.

U-NII power limits are defined by the United States CFR Title 47 (Telecommunication), Part 15 - Radio Frequency Devices, Subpart E - Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure Devices, Paragraph 15.407 - General technical requirements.

Many other countries use similar bands for Wireless communication due to a shared IEEE standard. However, regulatory use in individual countries may differ.

The defunct European HiperLAN standard operates in same frequency band as the U-NII.

5 GHz (802.11a/h/j/n/ac/ax)
Except where noted, all information taken from Annex J of IEEE 802.11-2007 modified by amendments k, y and n. Because countries set their own regulations regarding specific uses and maximum power levels within these frequency ranges, it is recommended that local authorities are consulted as regulations may change at any time.

It operates over four ranges:

 * U-NII Low (U-NII-1 ): 5.150–5.250 GHz. Originally limited to indoor use only. Regulations required use of an integrated antenna, with power limited to 50 mW.  Rules changed in 2014 to permit outdoor operation, maximum fixed power 1 watt, maximum fixed EIRP 4 watts (+36 dBm) point-to-multipoint, 200 watts (+53 dBm) point-to-point.   However, strict out-of-band emission rules limit practical point-to-point power to lower levels.
 * U-NII Mid (U-NII-2A ): 5.250–5.350 GHz. Both outdoor and indoor use, subject to Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS, or radar avoidance). Regulations allow for a user-installable antenna. Power limited to 250 mW.
 * U-NII-2B: 5.350–5.470 GHz. Currently 120 MHz of spectrum not allocated by the FCC for unlicensed use.
 * U-NII Worldwide (U-NII-2C / U-NII-2e): 5.470–5.725 GHz. Both outdoor and indoor use, subject to Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS, or radar avoidance). Power limited to 250 mW. This spectrum was added by the FCC in 2003 to "align the frequency bands used by U-NII devices in the United States with bands in other parts of the world". The FCC currently has an interim limitation on operations on channels which overlap the 5600–5650 MHz band.
 * U-NII Upper (U-NII-3 ): 5.725–5.850 GHz. Sometimes referred to as U-NII / ISM due to overlap with the ISM band. Regulations allow for a user-installable antenna. Power limited to 1W in the United States and 25mW in European Union.
 * DSRC/ITS (U-NII-4 ): 5.850–5.925 GHz. At present U-NII-4 spectrum is being considered by the FCC for unlicensed use. U-NII-4 is presently only usable for Dedicated Short Range Communications Service (DSRC) and licensed amateur radio operators.

In 2007, the FCC began requiring that devices operating in channels 52, 56, 60 and 64 must have Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) capabilities. This is to avoid communicating in the same frequency range as some radar. In 2014, the FCC issued new rules for all devices due to interference with government weather radar systems. Fines and equipment seizure were listed as punishment for non-compliance.

There is good map. But there are several mistakes:

1) Corsica and Sardinia were not Indo-European up to 1000 BC, because its population (Corses and Sardes) are described by ancient authors as relatives of non-Indoeuropean Hispanic Iberes. Romanisation of these islands was made to 1st cent. AD.

2) Eastern Spain was home of non-Indoeuropean Iberes and this area was romanisated up to 1st cent. AD.

3) In Scandinavia Northern Bronze Age culture which associated with Indo-Europeans spread to Norway and more large part of Sweden.

4) Estonia had no significant Indo-European population and generally border between Finnic and Baltic populations was Daugava (Dvina River) in today Latvia.

5) It is believed that in migration in Europe Indo-Europeans is divided to 2 branch: northern (Paleoeuropeans - ancesors of Celts, Illyrians, Italics, Venets, Germans, Slavs and Balts) and southern (ancesors of Greeks, Thracians, Phrygyans and Armenians). Border between these two branch was Carpatian mountains.

6) Up to 1000 BC nor Crete nor Cyprus were not Indo-European which is fixed in historical accounts.

7) It is believed in Kurgan hypothesis and is evidenced from historical and linguistical data that Anatolians came from Agean Sea basin (for example Carians).

8) Armenian Highlands was not Indo-European up to 800 BC. Its population were predominantly Caucasian-speaking Hurrians and Urartians.

9) About Tocharians: from linguistical data is known that Tocharians is strongly contacted with Finno-Ugric tribes. From this and archeological accounts it is believed that ancesors of Tocharians were population of Fatyanovo culture (central Russia). When and by which way Tocharians came to Sinkiang (Western China) is not known, but because slightly linguistical contacts between Tocharian and Iranic languages proposed that migration went through forest zone (not steppe).

Generally I think that it will better correct map.

Dmitry Krotko (til@bigmir.net).

yes, all your points are valid, and the map would be improved by implementing them. Just bear in mind that the map was never supposed to be a rough sketch of the Kurgan framework, it doesn't pretend to have more resolution than the general direction of the crudely-drawn arrows, so you shouldn't attempt to give it more resolution that it can reasonably have. Perhaps a lower-resolution map should be used. --dab (𒁳) 10:43, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Neovenator

Neovenator (nee-o-ven-a-tor meaning "new hunter") is a genus of carcharodontosaurian theropod dinosaur. It is known from several skeletons found in the Early Cretaceous (Hauterivian-Barremian) Wessex Formation on the south coast of the Isle of Wight, southern England. It is one of the best known theropod dinosaurs from the Early Cretaceous of Europe.

Discovery and species
The first bones of Neovenator were discovered in the summer of 1978, when a storm made part of the Grange Chine collapse. Rocks containing fossils fell to the beach of Brighstone Bay on the southwestern coast of the Isle of Wight. The rocks consisted of plant debris bed L9 within the variegated clays and marls of the Wessex Formation dating from the Barremian stage of the Early Cretaceous, about 125 million years ago. They were first collected by the Henwood family and shortly afterwards by geology student David Richards. Richards sent the remains to the Museum of Isle of Wight (now Dinosaur Isle) and the British Museum of Natural History. In the latter institution paleontologist Alan Jack Charig determined that the bones belonged to two kinds of animal: Iguanodon and a theropod. The "Iguanodon", later referred to Mantellisaurus and ultimately made the separate genus Brighstoneus, generated the most interest and in the early 1980s a team was sent by the BMNH to secure more of its bones. On that occasion an additional theropod tail vertebra was discovered.

Several amateur paleontologists, among them Keith and Jenny Simmonds, now began to search for additional remains of the predator. Ultimately, the total of secured bones included the snout, teeth, a front lower jaw, most of the vertebral column, ribs, belly ribs, chevrons, the left shoulder girdle, pelvis bones and a hindlimb. These were accessioned under numbers BMNH R10001 and MIWG 6348. They equalled approximately 70% of the skeleton. In 1985, excavations undertaken by Steve Hutt of the MIWG revealed two vertebrae of a second individual, specimen MIWG.5470. In 1987, Jenny Simmonds found a third skeleton, containing vertebra and pelvic bones, specimen MIWG.6352. A fourth individual found by Nick Oliver is represented by specimen IWCMS 2002.186, consisting of a lower jaw, parts of the cervical vertebrae and limb elements. In 1990 the material, then considered a possible new species of Megalosaurus, was provisionally described by Hutt. Having mistaken the ischium of MIWG 6352 for a pubic bone, Hutt suggested this specimen represented a separate species.

In 1996, Steve Hutt, David Martill and Michael Barker named and described the type species Neovenator salerii. The generic name Neovenator means "new hunter" from the Greek neo~, "new" and Latin venator, "hunter". The specific name salerii honours the land owners of the site, the Salero family. In view of the large number of individuals involved in the discovery process, it was considered improper to single out one of them as discoverer. The holotype is the skeleton accessioned as BMNH R10001 and MIWG 6348.

In 1999, Hutt dedicated his (unpublished) master thesis to Neovenator.

In 2008, Stephen Louis Brusatte, Roger Benson and Hutt redescribed the species in great detail.

In 2012, teeth indistinguishable from those of the holotype of Neovenator were found in the Angeac lignitic bone bed, France, dating to the Barremian.

Description
Neovenator measured approximately 7 m in length, and was of a gracile build, weighing 1 MT. Specimen MIWG 4199 indicates an individual with a possible length of about 10 m, but it only consists of a toe phalanx and its position in Neovenator is dubious.

The various scientific descriptions of Neovenator have indicated some distinguishing traits. The nostril is twice as long as it is high. The praemaxilla in the snout bears five teeth. The maxilla is pierced by a large maxillary fenestra, the diameter of which equals a sixth of the length of the tooth row. The tooth crown equals a quarter of the tooth length, thus including the root. The toe claws have a groove on top. Both praemaxillae are connected by an extra pen-in-socket connection. The front joint surface of the intercentrum of the axis, the second neck vertebra, is transversely widened. The odontoid process of the axis has small openings along the side edge of the front facet. The neural process of the axis has a single small opening in the side. The rear neck vertebrae are fused with their neck ribs. On the eighth and ninth neck vertebrae, at the parapophysis, the lower rib joint facet, the internal camellate structure of the bone is visible. At the front neck vertebrae the undersides are formed as sharp keels which are not inset from the lateral sides. At the front back vertebrae, the hypapophyses, the lower swellings of the front facet edges, are formed like low mounds. On the rear back vertebrae the facets of the joint processes are continued sideways as curved flanges. The shoulder joint is wider transversely than long, measured from the front to the rear. The notch on the underside of the front blade of the ilium has a shelf at the inner side. The ilium in Neovenator is highly pneumatized. The "feet" of the ischia are connected at their fronts but diverge at their rears. The head of the thighbone is obliquely directed to the front, to above and to the inside. On the thighbone the lesser trochanter has a robust ridge on its outer side. On the thighbone the fourth trochanter has a depression in the form of a thumbprint located to the outside of its upper limit. The front underside of the thighbone is nearly flat, only showing a short vertical groove between the lower condyles. The lower shinbone shows an oval rough area at the inner side. The top of the outer malleolus of the shinbone is pinched from the front to the rear. The outer front bulge of the top surface of the shinbone has a spur pointing to below. In the foot, the outer side of the second metatarsal has a hollow surface to contact the third metatarsal.

Several traits that once were thought to be unique or apomorphic for Neovenator, subsequent research showed to have been shared by other theropods. The nostrils are large but not uncommonly so. Having pneumatised rear back vertebrae is normal for carcharodontosaurids. Elevated paired nasal crests are shared with Allosaurus. Denticles continuing over the tooth apex are today known from other species.

In 2015, it was reported that the front of the snout of Neovenator contains a complex system of neurovascular canals, functioning as sensory organs. This trait is also known from Spinosauridae and was there explained as an adaptation for searching prey in water. It was doubted, however, whether Neovenator used its system for the same purpose.

Classification
At the time that it was described, by Steve Hutt, Martill and Barker in 1996, it was considered the only known allosaurid in Europe. However, further studies suggested it had more in common with the advanced carcharodontosaurid group of allosaurs, and several studies including a detailed examination of the species by Benson, Carrano and Brusatte in 2010 suggest that it is closely related to the Carcharodontosauridae (in a group called Carcharodontosauria), but is actually closer to the megaraptorans, together with them forming the family Neovenatoridae. Other studies have supported Neovenator being a carcharodontosaurid, and megaraptorans being tyrannosauroids. The cladogram below follows the 2010 analysis by Benson, Carrano and Brusatte.

Cladogram after Novas et al., 2013

Senses
Chris Barker and colleagues suggested that Neovenator may have possessed integumentary sensory organs on its snout, much as modern waterfowl and crocodilians use to find food in muddy water, based on neurovascular structures found on the skull. As Neovenator is believed to be completely terrestrial, unlike the modern species, it is assumed that these sensory organs were used for other purposes, such as sensitivity to pressure and temperature, controlling jaw pressure and precision feeding. In support of this, the tooth wear for Neovenator seems to indicate that it avoided eating or biting into bone while it fed. Additionally, Neovenator might have used these integumentary sensory organs in courtship and sensing nest conditions, a technique seen today in most species of crocodilians and megapode birds. Though such structures are known for another theropod, the tyrannosaurid Daspletosaurus horneri, Neovenator's neurovascular structures that likely supported these organs are the best preserved and most complete in any known theropod yet discovered. However, a more recent study reviewing the evolution of the trigeminal canals among sauropsids notes that a much denser network of neurovascular canals in the snout and lower jaw is more commonly encountered in aquatic or semiaquatic taxa (e.g., Spinosaurus, Halszkaraptor, Plesiosaurus), and taxa that developed a rhamphotheca (e.g., Caenagnathasia), while terrestrial taxa such as tyrannosaurids and Neovenator may have had average facial sensitivity for non-edentulous terrestrial theropods, although further research is needed.

Palaeopathology
The holotype of Neovenator salerii had many pathologies. The authors of the genus list them as "midcaudal vertebrae fusions, healed fractures of mid-caudal vertebra transverse processes; osteophytes affecting pedal phalanges, healed gastralia rib fractures, some forming false joints... [and] scapula fracture."

Palaeoecology
Fossil remains of Neovenator have been found on the Isle of Wight off southern England, and were first discovered in the 20th century. Neovenator perhaps existed alongside other dinosaurs found in the Wessex Formation of the early Cretaceous period, such as Ceratosuchops, Riparovenator, Baryonyx, Polacanthus, Iguanodon and Eotyrannus. The holotype bones were mixed with those of the herbivorous iguanodontian Brighstoneus and in the dig site also remains of fishes, amphibians, lizards, pterosaurs and Goniopholididae were present. Neovenator was likely the apex predator of its ecosystem.

Fatawā of Osama bin Laden

Osama bin Laden authored two fatāwā in the late 1990s. The first was published in August 1996 and the second in February 1998. At the time, bin Laden was not a wanted man in any country except his native Saudi Arabia, and was not yet known as the leader of the international terrorist organization al-Qaeda. Therefore, these fatāwā received relatively little attention until after the August 1998 United States embassy bombings, for which bin Laden was indicted. The indictment mentions the first fatwā, and claims that Khalid al-Fawwaz, of bin Laden's Advice and Reformation Committee in London, participated in its communication to the press.

1996 fatwā
Bin Laden's 1996 fatwā is entitled "Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places". This document is sometimes called the Ladenese epistle, a term derived from bin Laden's nasab. It is a long piece, and complains of American activities in numerous countries. It was faxed to Arabic-language newspapers internationally but particularly in England. It first appeared in the London-based Arabic paper Al-Quds Al-Arabi.

1998 fatwā
The 1998 fatwā reached Al Quds Al Arabi by fax, and was signed by five people, four of whom represented specific Islamist groups. The signatories as a group were identified as the "World Islamic Front for Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders".
 * Osama bin Laden
 * Ayman al-Zawahiri, "emir of the Jihad Group in Egypt", probably meaning Islamic Jihad
 * Ahmed Refai Taha, alias Abu Yasser, of al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya (in Egypt). This endorsement was retracted because of the enormous unpopularity of terrorism in Egypt following the Luxor massacre of tourists and Egyptians by al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya. Taha explained his signature to fellow members of the Islamic Group saying he had only been asked over the telephone to join in a statement of support for the Iraqi people.
 * Mir Hamzah
 * Fazul Rahman, "emir of the Jihad Movement in Bangladesh", probably Harakat ul-Jihad-i-Islami/Bangladesh or HUJI-B; HUJI itself is in Pakistan.

This fatwā complains of American military presence in Saudi Arabia, the sanctions against Iraq, and American support for Israel. Claiming that the United States has been using its military bases in the Arabian Peninsula as "a spearhead through which to fight the neighboring Muslim peoples", the fatwa purports to provide religious authorization for indiscriminate killing of Americans and their allies- combatant or civilian- everywhere. It appeared in February 1998 and the embassy bombings followed in August.

World Islamic Front
The World Islamic Front is the organization that issued the World Islamic Front Statement of 23 February 1998, "Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders", listing the actions of Americans that they claim conflict with "God's order", and stating that the Front's "ruling to kill the Americans and their allies—civilians and military—is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it." Terrorism experts consider the "World Islamic Front" synonymous with al-Qaeda.

The 9/11 Commission uses the text of the 23 February 1998 fatwa as evidence that linked Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and al-Qaeda to the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City, Washington, D.C., and near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Effects of the World Islamic Front Statement
The 23 February 1998 fatwa is the first known official order of the World Islamic Front. The fatwa calls upon each individual member of the existing Ummah to, "in accordance with the words of Almighty God, 'fight the pagans all together as they fight you all together,' and 'fight them until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God.'" The fatwa is widely regarded by terrorism experts as the founding document of the World Islamic Front.

The Hammer of God (Clarke novel)

The Hammer of God is a science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke originally published in 1993. Set in the year 2109, it deals with the discovery of an asteroid to be on course to collide with Earth and depicts the mission for deflecting the asteroid by using fusion thermal rockets.

Setting
The main events of the novel start in the year 2109. Descriptions of various aspects of the future society and of the life of Robert Singh take up a significant part of the book.

A world government administers the Earth. The Moon and Mars also have established societies. New technologies include automated self-sufficient houses, genetically-engineered pets, 'Brainman' (VR with brain–computer interface), artificial general intelligence, medicine to double the human lifespan and extend fertility. The economics policy is guided by "the skilful application of Chaos Theory by World Bank mathematicians", having caused "the collapse of communism and capitalism – now so long ago that both events seemed simultaneous." The SPACEGUARD project exists with the goal of detecting and dealing with celestial bodies with the potential to strike the Earth, with Goliath and Hercules spaceships stationed near Jupiter L4 and L5 as interceptors.

Influenced by Islam during military campaigns in the Middle East, an American soldier had evolved into a religious figure and founded the new religion of Chrislam, with a more "liberated" philosophy compared to Islam and Christianity. The religion capitalized on Brainman technology to spread its teachings as "the first Religion of the Byte" and became a dominant religion.

In 2067, a nuclear bomb was exploded in space (on the other side of the Sun to avoid affecting the Earth) to generate powerful radio waves, whose echoes were used to identify more of possible impactors for the SPACEGUARD. In 2085, a transmission was received from Sirius, which, while indecipherable, resulted in growth of an extremist faction within Chrislam, 'The Reborn'.

The captain of Goliath is Robert Singh, a 70-year-old veteran of spaceflight. While studying for his engineering degree, he took part in the first marathon on the Moon and ended up being the only participant to finish. His ex-wife and their son reside on Earth, and he, his current wife, and their children reside on Mars. Aboard the Goliath, Singh and his team are extensively assisted by David, an AI.

In the initial sections of the book, three major meteor events are mentioned: the 1972 Great Daylight Fireball, the Tunguska event and the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.

Plot
A new contact binary asteroid is discovered by an amateur astronomer, Dr. Angus Millar, having been missed by the SPACEGUARD due to a combination of factors. It is named Kali and is determined to be on course to hit Earth in about a year's time. Goliath, having been at Jupiter L4, leaves for Deimos to receive the ATLAS propulsion module, which is designed for attaching with the asteroid and slowly deflecting it to a safe course by using nuclear fusion-powered thrusters. Then, having loaded hydrogen fuel at Europa, Goliath reaches Kali and starts the ATLAS.

Extremists from The Reborn, believing that the collision with Kali is meant to be, had planted bombs in the ATLAS that explode just moments after the activation of ATLAS. However, most of the fuel tanks of ATLAS remain functional, and the plan is changed to use Goliath itself to propel the asteroid. Meanwhile, a contingency plan is discussed by Earth's government to use nuclear weapons to break up the peanut shaped asteroid with enough energy that the fragments miss Earth.

Kali gets closer to Sun, starts ejecting material from vents, and is also adjudged to be a probable extinct comet. The resulting venting cancels off a bit of the deflection, taking it too close to the margin of error. Meanwhile, Earth's government affirms the usage of nuclear weapons, as the success of Goliath's mission is deemed too uncertain.

At Kali, Goliath suffers damage from the spacecraft sinking a few meters into the asteroid after weeks of pushing against it. As a result, Goliath loses its fuel and is stuck on the asteroid. With the nuclear weapon plan in effect, the members of the Goliath crew make peace with their upcoming deaths and indulge in pleasure-seeking.

The manufacture of nuclear weapons had been abandoned for many years, and the weapon intended for Kali is hurriedly put together. When it is fired towards the asteroid, the weapon proves defective and fails to explode, but it impacts with a high enough anomalous velocity that the asteroid breaks into two, with Goliath and its crew intact. The part carrying Goliath, Kali 1, stays on course to go safely past Earth, with the crew to be retrieved later by the help of another spaceship.

The other part, Kali 2, enters into the Earth's atmosphere and causes the deaths of a hundred thousand people and a trillion dollars' worth of damage. It reaches as close as sixty kilometers above surface before it skips off the Earth's atmosphere.

Development and writing
In the 'Sources and Acknowledgements' section of the book, Clarke details the inspiration for the novel.

Clarke received a request for a short story for Time in May 1992. Having been abreast of NASA's Space-guard survey being conducted in the same year (which in turn borrowed its name from Spaceguard in Rendezvous with Rama), Clarke decided on asteroid impact avoidance as the theme for the short story, with the thought that "it was my duty to show what could be done about the asteroid menace. By creating a self-fulfilling prophecy I might even save the world - though I'd never know". The short story bearing the same title got published in Time magazine's "Beyond the Year 2000" issue in October 1992, being the second piece of fiction ever published by the magazine.

The Alvarez hypothesis for the K-Pg extinction event, which was then only 12 years old, is discussed by Clarke in the section. Clarke also mentions that the "final confirmation" of the hypothesis only came just before he published the novel.

Clarke's decision to "decompress" the short story into a novel was influenced by one of Dr. Duncan Steels' visual presentation about 'what might happen in the event of a major impact event'. The choice of time period for the novel (2109) was inspired by the contemporary view that Comet Swift-Tuttle had a high probability of impact with Earth in 2126.

Literary significance and reception
The Library Journal review noted, "In the capable hands of science fiction veteran Clarke, a standard cosmic disaster plot becomes a lucid commentary on humanity's place in the cosmos".

Film adaptation
The filmmaker Steven Spielberg optioned the rights to The Hammer of God for film production, but the resultant movie, Deep Impact (1998), was so dissimilar to the book that Clarke received no on-screen credit for the movie.

References to other works

 * Clarke reintroduces the idea of project Spaceguard, which he first mentioned in Rendezvous with Rama (1973) as a project to detect near-Earth objects. The Spaceguard featured in The Hammer of God (1993) would seem to be the Spaceguard that exists in the real world, which was inspired by and named after the one in Rendezvous with Rama, as it is remarked to have taken its name from an obscure science fiction novel, and the 9/11/2077 impact that prompted the Spaceguard of Rendezvous with Rama is only mentioned in the book's "Acknowledgements and Sources".
 * Goliath's on-board supercomputer is named David and is very similar to HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
 * The planet-killing comet in Greenland was named in tribute to the author, Arthur C. Clarke.

Andrejs Rubins

Andrejs Rubins (26 November 1978 – 1 August 2022) was a Latvian professional footballer who played as a left midfielder. He was a member of the Latvia national team. Rubins worked as a football manager.

Club career
Born in Riga, Rubins started his career in 1996 at FK Auda in the Latvian 2nd Division. The following year he moved to Sweden with Östers, where he made eleven league appearances, before moving back to Latvia in 1998 to play for Skonto Riga. He played there for the next three seasons, and managed to win three consecutive league titles in a row. He also won the Latvian Cup twice. All in all, over those three seasons he helped his team, scoring 14 goals in 67 league matches.

In 2000, Rubins moved to England, joining English Football League First Division club Crystal Palace. He made just 31 appearances in three seasons at the club, but still managed to impress, scoring twice in the League Cup against Leicester City and Liverpool.

In December 2002, Rubins moved to Russia, initially to play for Spartak Moscow in the Russian Premier League on a free transfer. However, three months later, without playing a game, he moved to Shinnik Yaroslavl, where he played 51 games in two seasons, scoring 4 times. In January 2005, Rubins signed a four-year contract with Spartak Moscow, who were then managed by Latvian manager Aleksandrs Starkovs. After struggling to settle, he made just five appearances, and the club sent him on loan back to Shinnik Yaroslavl in January 2006 for 12 months.

In June 2007, he was linked with another loan move, this time with English Football League Championship club Blackpool, but he eventually went on loan to the Latvian Higher League club Liepājas Metalurgs on 27 July for six months. He was released by Metalurgs together with his international team-mate Imants Bleidelis after half-season for unexplained reasons. Bleidelis retired from professional football then, but Rubins signed a contract with the Azerbaijan Premier League club Inter Baku in August 2008. He spent two successful seasons there, becoming a vital starting eleven player for the club, scoring nine goals in 49 league games. Rubins also managed to become the champion of Azerbaijan in the 2009–10 with Inter.

He started the 2010–11 season with another Azerbaijan Premier League club Qarabağ from Aghdam, joining on a two-year contract on a free transfer. Rubins suffered several injuries that caused limited game time, and he only managed to appear in 12 league games and was released at the end of the season. In 2011, he was signed by Azerbaijan Premier League club Simurq PFC. Rubins scored one goal in 18 matches for the club, and in July 2012 he was released.

Struggling with a long-term hip injury, Rubins announced his retirement from professional football on 13 March 2013, saying: "If I cannot play for 100%, that's not worth it."

International career
Rubins made his international debut for the Latvia national team on 10 November 1998 in a friendly match 3–0 loss against Tunisia. With 117 international caps he is the second most capped player in the history of Latvia national team, 50 matches short of Vitālijs Astafjevs. Rubins also participated at the EURO 2004 in Portugal.

Coaching career
After his retirement Rubins started coaching children and youngsters in Ikšķile. Prior to the 2014 Latvian First League season Rubins was appointed the assistant manager of FK Ogre.

As of 2022 he was an assistant coach to FK Spartaks Jūrmala.

Death
Rubins died on 1 August 2022, the Latvian Football Federation announced his death on 3 August.

The Goddess of 1967

The Goddess of 1967 is a 2000 Australian film directed by Clara Law, who wrote the script with her husband (and previous script collaborator) Eddie Ling-Ching Fong. The film is about a rich young Japanese man (Rikiya Kurokawa), who travels to Australia with the intention of buying a Citroën DS car (the goddess of the film's title—nicknamed the Déesse, after its initials in French, déesse being French for "goddess") that he has found for sale on the internet. Once there, things do not go as planned and he ends up on a road trip with a blind girl (Rose Byrne).

It won several awards, including Best Actress for Rose Byrne at the 2000 Venice Film Festival and best director at the Chicago Film Festival.

The song from the dance scene between BG and JM is "Walk-Don't Run" (the 1964 version) by The Ventures. The song is not included on the film's soundtrack, which contains the score by Jen Anderson.

Plot
The story opens in Tokyo where JM (Rikiya Kurokawa), a rich, young IT worker and sometime computer hacker, is attempting to purchase a 1967 model Citroën DS, or Goddess, as it is known to French car aficionados. JM lives in a pristine but unfriendly hi-tech apartment. The smog filled city is blue-grey and bleak. He rarely speaks to his live-in girlfriend and is preoccupied with other possessions—his latest snorkeling gear as well as the pet snakes and other exotic reptiles he keeps in the flat. After tracing, on the Internet, a perfectly restored Citroën owned by a couple in Australia, JM abandons his job and flies out to purchase the rare car, which he thinks can fill the emptiness in his life.

No one meets JM at the airport but he eventually finds the home where the car is located and meets BG (Rose Byrne), a blind and emotionally unstable young woman. BG, who is minding a young child, explains that the couple did not actually own the Citroën and that the husband shot his wife and then killed himself after a violent argument over money. She shows him the car and tells him, after he has test driven it, that she can take him to its real owner, who is somewhere in the Outback, a five-day drive away. Intoxicated by the vehicle, JM agrees. BG abandons the child at a service station, instructing her not to trust anyone, after calling the police to pick the girl up.

As BG and JM journey into the spectacular but harsh landscape, the viewer is taken on a series of complex and often confusing flashbacks which attempt to illustrate the dark tragedies that have shaped their respective lives. JM became fabulously wealthy after a friend gave him the computer password to a major bank. The friend, who claims the reason he is not using the password himself is that he is getting married, is run over and killed by a passing truck. JM's infatuation with the car is apparently an attempt to fill the emotional gap created by his friend's death and the barren life he leads in Tokyo, which, he tells BG, is alien and "just like Mars".

Flashbacks reveal BG was sexually attacked three years earlier by a young boxer from a travelling circus, who is frustrated in his attempts by a Chastity belt. BG then escaped into the bush where she was protected by wild dingoes. As a young child, she was also sexually abused by her grandfather (who is her blood father) and traumatised by Marie (Elise McCredie), her disoriented and deeply religious mother. Grandpa (Nicholas Hope), who was a hippie, a wine maker and then an opal miner, believes his outback existence frees him from all moral constraints.

BG's favourite radio show is the obituary notices program and she is infatuated by the sound of insects splattering on the Citroën's windscreen, which, she explains to JM, is the "sound of death". Although blind, BG carries a pistol which she fires occasionally: the first time at two sinister men who pull alongside the car during JM's test drive and later, in the outback, to destroy the radio she uses to listen to the obituary notices. Unbeknownst to JM, BG's grandfather owns the car and she is leading JM to him not to consummate the car's sale but in order to kill the old man.

In the course of their journey through an unremittingly hostile world inhabited by cruel outback men and women, the couple become friends and, after JM teaches BG how to dance, tentative lovers. BG eventually finds her grandfather and confronts him in his rundown opal mine. She had planned to shoot him but, having reconciled her past in the course of the trip and found someone who genuinely cares for her, decides not to go ahead with it. The film ends with BG and JM travelling off together in the Citroën, both having come to terms with their past.

Production details
The budget for the film was around AUD$3m. The film was shot in Tokyo and in and around Lightning Ridge in New South Wales, Australia in late 1999.

Box office
The Goddess of 1967 grossed $103,449 at the box office in Australia.

User:Jdavidb/Talk archiving

This is the procedure I plan to use in the future for archiving my talk page. I am documenting this procedure both as a reminder to myself and as a potential learning tool or idea generator for other editors.

 * 1) I will perform archives whenever editing my talk page gives me a warning about page length.
 * 2) I will archive by using the page move function to rename the page.  The new name will be the old name with "/ArchiveN" appended (where N is the archive number).  The reason for the move will be recorded as "archiving."
 * 3) I will then edit the newly moved page to add  at the top and  at the bottom.  These are personal templates I made based on those used for closing an archived discussion of an article for deletion.  The curly brace syntax transcludes them, which means their contents get copied verbatim into the page each time it is loaded.  They work just like templates, for example, when you insert  into an article, the contents of Template:Stub are transcluded into it.  These templates color the archive page blue and put warnings at the top and bottom indicating that the page is an archive and should not be edited again, along with a link to post a new comment on my real talk page.  Performing this edit also has the advantage of putting the archive pages on my watchlist, so I can hopefully notice if anybody does edit them.  The edit summary for this change will be "indicate this is an archive".
 * 4) I will then set up my new talk page by putting in , transcluding another personal template I have set up so my talk page and each of its archive can be the same at the top and have links to all the archives.  The edit summary for this edit will be "Set up new talk page".
 * 5) Finally, I will add a link to the new archive into User:Jdavidb/Talkheader, using this format:
 * * /ArchiveN
 * "N," of course, will be replaced with the number of the archive. The little-known five-tilde signature puts in a timestamp but no username, so I know when the archiving action occurred.
 * Before I put this into the transcluded template, I was about to make the links much more easily: /Archive1 . Unfortunately, that trick does not work with the template.
 * 1) If a discussion appears to be ongoing, I may copy that discussion onto the new talk page.

In related news, I am undecided as to whether comments on my talk page should be replied to on my talk page or the user's talk page. I am tentatively deciding to respond to registered users on their talk pages and to anons on my talk page, but I am not entirely satisfied with this.

Famous Dave's

Famous Dave's of America, Inc. is a chain of barbecue restaurants primarily located in the Midwestern United States, serving pork ribs, chicken, beef brisket, and several flavors of barbecue sauce. Dave Anderson, an Ojibwe-Choctaw who served as the head of the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs from 2004 to 2005, started the first Famous Dave's restaurant near Hayward, Wisconsin in 1994. The restaurant chain grew throughout the United States and Puerto Rico in 2014, though all of Famous Dave's Puerto Rico locations closed after Hurricane Maria. It has 180 locations in 33 U.S. states as of 2021 and four international locations, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Dubai, and Winnipeg.

History
The first restaurant of the chain was Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que in Hayward, Wisconsin. On the morning of November 3, 2014, it was destroyed by fire. The second location opened in the Linden Hills neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1995 and was designed to be an old-fashioned "roadside BBQ Shack". It closed in 2014. The third location opened in 1996 in the Calhoun Square development in Uptown Minneapolis and was designed as a Blues club, Famous Dave's BBQ & Blues. It closed in 2019. A "Lodge" format opened in Minnetonka, Minnesota and the first franchise-operated restaurant opened in Burnsville, Minnesota.

Jeff Crivello became CEO at Famous Dave's in 2017. The company rebranded as BBQ Holdings and, in 2020, began buying up other brands. The company sold to MTY Food Group in 2022. Crivello left BBQ Holdings in May 2023.

Dave Anderson
In 1986, Anderson earned a master's degree in Public Administration from Harvard University, without earning an undergraduate degree.

In 1994, he was one of the first investors in Rainforest Café, a theme restaurant chain, and in October 1994, Dave Anderson opened the first Famous Dave's in Hayward, Wisconsin. Two years after opening in Hayward, the company went public in 1996. Anderson stated on Facebook that the IPO was "the worst decision of his life". Anderson was Famous Dave's CEO until 1997, and remained chairman of the company's board until 2003. Anderson ended his relationship with Famous Dave's in March 2014, signing a one-year non-compete agreement, after which he opened Jimmie's Old Southern Smokehouse BBQ.

Talk:Gromov–Witten invariant

I just fixed an anonymous edit, which seemed well-intentioned but didn't work so well. Essentially the editor made two changes. First, s/he changed notation from n to k; both are used in the subject, but n is used in the stable map article, so I think n should be kept. Also, the editor did not thoroughly do the change, but petered out in the middle. Second, s/he confused the moduli space of curves M_{g, n} (which has nothing to do with the target X) with the moduli space of maps M_{g, n}(X, A). I have explicitly written the latter into the article, in an attempt to clarify. Also, it is undesirable to fix the domain, \Sigma, as the editor did, since we want to consider maps on all domains in M_{g, n}. If the edit was sincere and I'm wrong, let me know; we can work it out. Joshuardavis 16:47, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this article is imprecise in many respects, explains some things very badly, or tries to explain things that are just impossible to explain in such an article. I am not sure what should be done about this, as it would require a lot of work to improve it. --Arend Bayer. (I am a math Post-doc working among other things on Gromov-Witten invariants in algebraic geometry.)

Hi, Arend. Advanced math articles on Wikipedia tend to be quite imprecise/intuitive/incomplete. They can aspire only to work out the landscape. See for example Floer homology. Hmm, this article has some bad parts, such as the obstruction bundle. Also, the treatment is entirely symplectic, which makes it seem even worse to an algebraic geometer, I imagine. It would be nice to have an algebraic treatment... Joshua R. Davis 04:35, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Is this correct?
The statement:

The evaluation map sends the fundamental class of M to a d-dimensional rational homology class in Y, denoted

The articles defines Y = M \times \sigma^k. The evaluation map is from Y to X^k; so, how could the ev map send a class in M to a class in Y? 15:30, 7 February 2008 (UTC) User:155.198.157.118

 * I think you have a couple of typos there. The evaluation map being used here goes from StableMaps to StableCurves x X^k. I have adjusted the article to make it all more explicit. Let me know if there is an error. Joshua R. Davis (talk) 17:17, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I had a typo; that should be X^n, not X^k. Joshua R. Davis (talk) 18:45, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

 * My bad. I was going through a long, long list of fossil primates, and several needed renaming for the reasons given.  Normally when the move fails, it's because someone edited the redirect.  Sorry for not double-checking before making the request.  I withdraw the move request. –  Maky  « talk » 08:35, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Strong oppose clearly failure to consider the usage of the term "homonculus" in the entirety of the world, not just in taxonomy. This is clearly not the primary topic. Further, if you want to delete the article at Homunculus, you must use WP:AfD -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 04:47, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Merge proposal
The 2017 proposal to merge Killikaike to here is evidently based on the argument in the article that:

Perry et al. (2014) considered K. blakei to be a junior synonym of Homunculus patagonicus.

This seems to be reasonable, so I suppose the merge. Klbrain (talk) 21:58, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Merge with genus page?
Why not just make all of the information on the genus page instead of splitting it into 2 pages? Augustios Paleo (talk) 02:36, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Fossil NWM reorganization

I am born in and grew up around Hamburg, Germany. In 2000 I moved to the United States and live in the Chicago's suburbs.

I consider myself a newbie with Wikipedia, but I am interested to get more involved in the future.

Lord Module

Lord Module (9 November 1974 – 8 April 1997) was a champion New Zealand-bred Standardbred racehorse who raced during the 1970s.

He is notable in that he won the New Zealand Trotting Cup, the richest harness race, and sometimes the richest horse race in New Zealand.

A gifted Standardbred racehorse who certainly could have won many more races but for being troubled throughout his career by bad feet and unruly behaviour, which led to his subsequent retirement.

He won the New Zealand cup in 1979 but was banned the following year because of his unruly barrier behaviour. However, in the final race of the carnival and against one of the best fields ever assembled he finished his career in the best possible way, coming from a hopeless position and storming to victory. This completed a treble of races that had only ever been won previously by Cardigan Bay.

The race call by Reon Murtha was remembered word for word by many harness fans such was the emotion generated by the performance. Straight after the race the crowd stormed out of the stands towards the horse. Reon Murtha recalled in an interview (January 2007) how he choked back the tears saying it was the most emotional moment in his 47 years of race calling.

A poll of current reinsman highlighted their greatest ever horses, Lord Module was the only one who featured more than once of any horse mentioned from the 1950s through to the 1980s.

Lord Module won the following major races:
 * 1977 NZ 2YO Championship
 * 1979 New Zealand Trotting Cup: beating Rocky Tryax and Trevira.
 * 1979 New Zealand Free For All
 * 1979 Allan Matson Free for All
 * 1979 PanAm Mile (invitational), won in 1:56.2 which was the Southern Hemisphere record
 * 1980 Allan Matson FFA
 * 1980 New Brighton Cup

In 1979 he time trialed over a mile in 1:54.9 (NZ Record).
