Jason Lezak

Jason Edward Lezak (born November 12, 1975) is an American former competitive swimmer and swimming executive. As a swimmer, Lezak specialized in the 50-meter and 100-meter freestyle races. His pro career lasted for nearly fifteen years, spanning four Olympic games and eight Olympic medals.

Lezak is known for his performance at the 2008 Summer Olympics as the anchor for the United States during the men's 4×100-meter freestyle relay. It has been called the greatest Olympic swimming relay race of all time.

Lezak has served as the general manager of the Cali Condors, which is part of the International Swimming League.

Personal life
Lezak was born in Irvine, California, the son of Linda (née Mann), a former elementary school science teacher, and David Lezak, a former leather goods salesman. He is Jewish. The name Lezak is pronounced Leh-Zhack and is Polish (short e). Lezak attended El Camino Real Elementary School (now Woodbury Elementary School) and Irvine High School, as well as the University of California, Santa Barbara. He swam for the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos swimming and diving team from 1995 to 1998. Lezak lives in Orange County, California with his wife Danielle and 3 kids who are Ryan, Blake, and Layla.

Olympics
Lezak has competed in four Olympic Games, in 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2012, and has won eight Olympic medals: two bronze, two silver, and four gold.

2000 Olympics
Lezak earned his first long-course international swimming gold medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he was part of the 4×100-meter medley relay in the Olympics in Sydney. He also won a silver medal in the 4×100-meter freestyle relay.

2004 Olympics
Lezak competed in several events at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, and was a member of the 4×100-meter medley relay team that set a new world record and earned another gold medal at the games. Lezak also won a bronze medal in the 4×100-meter freestyle relay and finished fifth in the 50-meter freestyle.

2008 Olympics
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Lezak was the oldest male on the U.S. swim team. He anchored the U.S. 4×100-meter freestyle relay team that won the gold medal and set a new world record. At the start of the leg, Lezak trailed French anchor Alain Bernard by nearly a full body length. In the final 25 meters, with Bernard still leading by half a body length, Lezak overtook Bernard. At the time, Lezak's split of 46.06 was the fastest 100-meter freestyle split ever by nearly 0.6 seconds (at the 2019 World Championships Duncan Scott swam a 46.14 in the 4×100-meter freestyle relay to reduce that margin to 0.08 seconds). The American team's final time of 3:08:24 was just 0.08 seconds ahead of the French team's 3:08.32, making it the closest finish in the event's history. Both teams finished nearly four seconds ahead of the previous world record.

Lezak also earned his first individual Olympic medal, having tied for bronze with Brazilian swimmer César Cielo Filho in the 100-meter freestyle with a time of 47.67.

In the final race of these games Lezak anchored the U.S. 4×100-meter medley relay to a gold medal securing Michael Phelps's final gold medal to break Mark Spitz's record.

2012 Olympics
Lezak qualified for his fourth Olympics at the 2012 United States Olympic Trials in Omaha, Nebraska. His sixth-place finish in the Olympic Trial finals was good enough to reach the London Games as a member of the U.S. 4×100-meter freestyle relay team. At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom, Jimmy Feigen, Matt Grevers, Ricky Berens and Lezak swam for the U.S. team in the preliminaries. Nathan Adrian, Michael Phelps, Cullen Jones and Ryan Lochte swam in the finals, and together all these competitors earned a silver medal for the team's second-place finish in the finals. Lezak became the first male swimmer in Olympic history to win four medals in the same event, the 4×100-meter freestyle relay.

Short course competitions
In short-course competitions, Lezak won five world championships: four relays including the 2002 4x100m freestyle and medley, and 2004 4x100m freestyle, and a gold in the 100-meter freestyle in 2004. Lezak has also won seven U.S. Championships, three times in the 50-meter freestyle and four in the 100-meter freestyle.

2009; Maccabiah Games
Lezak passed up on attending the 2009 World Aquatics Championships to compete in the 18th Maccabiah Games in Israel from July 12 to 29, 2009. Lezak was given the honor of lighting the Maccabiah torch at the Opening Ceremony. At the 2009 Maccabiah Games, Lezak won gold medals in the 50-meter freestyle, 100-meter freestyle, 4×100-meter freestyle relay, and 4×100-meter medley relay.

At the 2017 Maccabiah Games, in the special 4x50m relay race between Israeli and American all-star teams, American Olympic champions Lezak, Lenny Krayzelburg (four Olympic golds), and Anthony Ervin (three Olympic golds), with masters swimmer Alex Blavatnik, swam a time of 1:48.23 and defeated Israeli Olympians Guy Barnea, Yoav Bruck, Eran Groumi, and Tal Stricker, who had a time of 1:51.25.

Executive career
Lezak serves as the general manager for the Cali Condors which is part of the International Swimming League. In 2019 the inaugural year of the league the Condors finished third place in the finals. As the top finishing American team, the Condors were led by high scorers Caeleb Dressel and Lilly King.

Personal bests
His personal bests (long-course) are:

 * 50 m freestyle: 21.90
 * 100 m freestyle: 47.58 (former American record)
 * 100 m freestyle relay split 46.06 (fastest relay split ever, even though FINA does not recognize world records for relay splits, unless they were in the opening leg, as only the opening leg is done from a stationary start, whereas later swimmers can lean over in the process of diving as the preceding swimmer is coming in)

Accolades
In 2003 he was inducted into the Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. In 2006 he was inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.

Brent Cockbain

Brent John Cockbain (born 15 November 1974 in New South Wales, Australia) is a former rugby union player who won 24 caps for Wales.

Club career
Although born in Australia, and with his brother Matt Cockbain having played international rugby for Australia, Brent decided to emigrate to the UK. Cockbain played club rugby for London Irish, then came to Wales in 1999 to join Pontypridd RFC. With the advent of regional sides in 2003, he played for the Celtic Warriors, then when the Warriors were shut down signed for the Ospreys in 2004.

In the 2004–05 season he helped the Ospreys win the Celtic League and Wales win the Grand Slam, scoring his first and only international try against Italy.

Cockbain returned from injury to club rugby with the Ospreys, but missed Wales' 2006 Autumn Internationals due to an injury. On 3 December 2007, Cockbain signed for the English Premiership side Sale Sharks on a 2½ year contract.

Cockbain retired from competitive sport in June 2010.

International career
Cockbain represented Australia at Under 19 and Under 21 level, but qualified for Wales under the residency rule and made his debut against Romania at Wrexham on 27 August 2003, a match which Wales won 54–8. This match also saw Mike Ruddock take charge of the side for the first time, albeit only for the one game. He went on to start in four of Wales' matches in the 2003 Rugby World Cup. In the 2004–05 season he helped Wales win the Grand Slam, scoring his first international try against Italy. He was flown out to join the 2005 British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand as a late replacement after Danny Grewcock had been banned for biting.

Nathaniel B. Baker

Nathaniel Bradley Baker (September 29, 1818 – September 11, 1876) was an American politician and military leader who served as the 24th governor of New Hampshire and Adjutant General of the Iowa Militia.

Early life
Nathaniel B. Baker was born in Henniker, New Hampshire, on September 29, 1818, and raised in West Concord. Nathaniel Baker graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 1834 and Harvard University. He then studied law under Franklin Pierce, Asa Fowler and Charles H. Peaslee and passed the bar in 1842.

Start of career
Baker was a co-owner of a Democratic newspaper, the New Hampshire Patriot. Originally a Democrat, he served as Clerk of the Merrimack County Court of Common Pleas in 1845. The following year he became Merrimack County Clerk.

Baker was also active in the New Hampshire Militia, serving as Quartermaster and later Adjutant of the 11th Regiment. He subsequently served as Aide-de-Camp to Governor John H. Steele with the rank of colonel.

In 1851, Baker assumed the position of Chief Fire Engineer for Concord's Fire Department. He also served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives in 1850 and 1851, and was elected Speaker of the House. In 1852 he was a Presidential Elector, and cast his ballot for Franklin Pierce and William R. King.

From 1854 to 1859 Baker was a trustee of Norwich University, and he received an honorary Master of Arts degree from Norwich in 1855.

Governor of New Hampshire
In 1854 he was elected governor and served a single one-year term, June 6, 1854, to June 7, 1855. During his term the legislature failed to pass resolutions condemning the Missouri Compromise and the Kansas–Nebraska Act, evidence that New Hampshire was trending away from the Democratic Pierce and Baker and becoming increasingly antislavery. (In fact, after Baker left office, Republicans controlled the governorship for most of the next 100 years.) He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1855.

Later career
After Baker's term as governor, he moved to Clinton, Iowa, where he continued to practice law. He was elected to the Iowa House of Representatives in 1859 as a Democrat. His increasingly antislavery views later caused him to join the Republican Party.

Baker's work as chairman of the Iowa House's Military Affairs Committee at the start of the American Civil War led to his appointment as adjutant general of the Iowa Militia, and he served until his death. By now a resident of Des Moines, during the war he was praised for his efforts to recruit, equip and train soldiers for front line regiments, and to keep track of their service records, including enlistments, promotions, wounds, deaths, and discharges. In addition, at the end of the war, Baker was credited with acquiring from returning Iowa units captured Confederate regimental flags and other memorabilia, and arranging to have it preserved.

Death and burial
In 1874 Baker took part in an effort to combat a massive grasshopper infestation in Northwestern Iowa, exposing himself out of doors in harsh weather including sleet, snow and high winds. His health began to decline as a result, and Baker died in Des Moines on September 11, 1876. He was buried at Woodland Cemetery in Des Moines.

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete. -R. fiend 21:06, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Jacinta Palmer
No entry at IMDB, and Google search on "Jacinta Palmer"+Patrick turns up empty despite supposedly famous criminal case. Likely hoax, and other articles contributed by such as Stephen Silvapulle should be looked at. -- Curps 17:51, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Doesn't show up on iMDB because she is not reknowned for her acting or screenwriting prowesses (and this is a service you have to pay for) but rather non-fictional stories in australian newspapers, judge on the australian young writer's guild. iMDB also does not show many actors in small television series. Not a strong argument.
 * Above edit by Slimy earthworm.--CastAStone 18:33, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Not a famous criminal case, as it never went past police proceedings. Just a funny anecdote told in the "you'll never guess what happened" columns.
 * Above edit by Slimy earthworm.--CastAStone 18:33, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Unverifiable information doesn't really belong in an encyclopedia, and pranks among a small circle of friends aren't really encyclopedic or "famous". -- Curps 18:12, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * the information is actually verifiable. Quite a famous name in Australia, due to her loss of the role of Samara. For this information to be considered a prank between a small circle of friends, that would assume that i actually know the people in question. Just regurgitating the information found in various magazines and columns. As you can tell, i'm a fan of their work.
 * Above edit by Slimy earthworm.--CastAStone 18:33, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Most of the information can be googled successfully. If you're in the right area, some of the information regarding awards can still be found on major newpaper archives before they become for paid users only. --Slimy earthworm 18:20, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Maybe there should be a "WP is not a collection of funny anecdotes" policy. --Trovatore 18:41, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * oh, of course not. But it's nice to read some light-hearted material about people you like to read about. Wikipedia is about publishing all aspects of a person's life. I'm sure you'd appreciate it if you were in a position to. The story behind it is much more complex which i was hoping to detail when i found the article again. It inspired her thematically based book of short storiesSlimy earthworm 18:46, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Speedy this as patent nonsense. Googling "Jacinta Palmer" turns up one hit in AU... for a girl in primary school: . Similar situation with Stephen Silvapulle, though in this case it is a kid who was apparently wrongly arressted for public drunkeness at that Australian Open.  I'm not trying to bite the newbie, but it would appear these articles are a systemic series of hoaxes using the names of real people, possible known by the author.--Isotope23 19:18, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Not patent nonsense (alas), but an almost certain hoax. Delete with extreme prejudice unless Simply Earthworm can bust out some solid verification. Lord Bob 19:41, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per everyone else. Slimy earthworm, please take note that the bar for inclusion of actors on both IMDb and Wikipedia is quite low (in my opinion), and yet this person still fails to meet that.  The claim that "iMDB also does not show many actors in small television series. Not a strong argument." is patently false.  Hall Monitor 20:20, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I am Australian and have never heard of her. ImDB does cover Australian television problems and there are severe verifiability problems. Capitalistroadster 01:49, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * ummm, why can't this be Speedily Deleted since the information is unverifiable and almost certainly invented? Dottore So 07:04, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Because that is not a speedy deletion criteria, no matter how hard I wish it was sometimes. Lord Bob 14:40, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Think the "uses" section violates NPOV? Pecosdave 07:32, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Scientific name
In this article, the domestic apple is called in the body text Malus sylvestris domestica and it's wild parent is called M. sylvestris sieversii, - subspecies of the Euopean Wild apple, but over on Apple it's just M. sieversii and M. domestica. The taxobox here makes things even more confusing because it, too mentions M. sieversii, contradicting the body text. Any suggestions on which way things need to be harmonized? --Bytor (talk) 09:51, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Crab Apples
I don't know why crab apples forward here. If I want to quickly find out about crab apples, I don't want to read through a bunch of stuff about an entire genus. (I came here to find out whether they were edible). My opinion is, Crab Apples should have their own article, and forward to this page for details on its biological classification. Or else, have a section on this page about crab apples. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.148.58.106 (talk) 03:08, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Crabapple seeds toxic?
Title: Crab apple jelly, with or without seeds?

Question: When making crabapple jelly, is it acceptable to leave the apple intact? The crabapples I purchased are very small and very hard to peel and cut. However, I'm concerned that there will be cyanide formation and resulting potential harm. How does leaving the seeds in affect the flavour. Would it turn bitter?

Text: Crabapples are immature apples e.g. Western Crab Apple Pyrus coronaria or Siberian Crab Apple Pyrus baccata. Like other stone fruit including apples (Malus domestica), peaches (Prunus persica), almonds (Prunus dulcis), apricots (Prunus armeniaca) and cherries (Prunus cerasus, P. avium), they have seeds containing cyanide compounds that can be released when consumed raw. However, this is dependent on an enzyme that converts the compound to amygdalin, which releases the cyanide that, in large amounts, can be harmful, in the worst-case scenario even fatal. However, the body is able to break down small amounts of cyanide in foods when ingested. In addition, heat destroys the enzyme responsible for the release of cyanides. Thus, boiling the fruit with the seeds will only affect the flavour. Therefore it is recommended to remove the stems and the seeds for preserving, retaining the proper flavour.

However, this is not a health concern.If the crabapples are too small to cut, wash them properly, boil them and remove the seeds and stems during the boiling process.

Make sure the jars are properly processed after filling. Do not simply hot-fill and keep at room temperature. The jars need heat processing like any other preserve.

Reference(s):

National Food Safety Database. 2001. Pits & Seeds, preserving with or without. Lackey.CJ. http://foodsafety.ifas.ufl.edu/nc/nc234.htm "In Canning. It is best to remove pits and seeds from fruit before canning (exception: pickled peaches or other fruits that are canned whole). During processing undesirable flavors can develop. If any toxic compounds are produced, they are probably in low enough concentrations that the body can handle them."

Chestnut crabaple
I have removed the following from the discussion of "crabaples" (as opposed to orchard apples). The Chestnut Crabapple is an orchard apple — Jay L09 (talk) 19:47, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

"The Chestnut Crabapple is an exception in that its fruit is sweet tasting. A very hardy plant, the Chestnut Crabapple blooms in early to mid-May and is an excellent pollinator for other fruit apples. It produces a very large crabapple, up to 2" (5 cm) in diameter, that ripens in early September with a pleasant nut-like flavor and good texture for fresh eating. The fruit quality holds well on the tree, being quite spritely at first and becoming sweeter later on, with a medium storage life."

 * I've restored the paragraph. It might be usable in an orchard and fine for eating fresh, but it is still a crabapple, as the name "Chestnut crabapple" suggests. See http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/crops/facts/00-011.htm, particularly table 2. Nadiatalent (talk) 20:49, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Ian Blackwell

Ian David Blackwell (born 10 June 1978) is an English umpire and retired professional cricketer. A left-arm orthodox spinner and powerful middle-order batsman, he played for England at One Day International (ODI) and Test level, and most recently played county cricket for Warwickshire in the second half of the 2012 season. He was born at Chesterfield in Derbyshire.

Somerset County Cricket Club
Blackwell started off his career at Derbyshire, before moving to Somerset in 2000 following a dispute with Derbyshire captain Dominic Cork. He was appointed captain of Somerset for the last part of the 2005 season after the departure of Graeme Smith. Having been appointed official captain for 2006, he had shoulder surgery and missed almost all of the season.

Durham County Cricket Club
After the 2008 season, Blackwell left Somerset and joined Durham. Blackwell's struggles with fitness and disagreements with the captain, Justin Langer, were also factors in his departure from Somerset. Blackwell managed to lose 10 kg over the winter. On his first-class debut for Durham, in the opening match of the 2009 English season, Blackwell scored a century against the Marylebone Cricket Club, featuring a bowling line up including England hopefuls Sajid Mahmood, Kabir Ali, Tim Bresnan, and Adil Rashid. Blackwell went on to have a productive season in 2009, scoring 801 runs at 40.05 and taking 43 wickets at 23.53 as Durham won the County Championship for the second successive year.

Warwickshire County Cricket Club
Entering the 2012 season, having been afflicted by a second shoulder operation, Blackwell played few matches in the first half of the season for Durham. The county then agreed to loan him from August to Warwickshire, who required coverage for the four-week absence of spinner Jeetan Patel. He arrived at Warwickshire in time to be part of another side which clinched a County Championship.

In January 2013, Durham terminated Blackwell's contract leading to his retirement from professional cricket in March 2013. After a third shoulder operation over the winter, Blackwell had been diagnosed with arthritis in his left shoulder.

International career
Blackwell made his one-day international debut for England in the 2002 ICC Champions Trophy.

Blackwell was called up for the England Test squad after Ashley Giles had to withdraw from the 2006 tour to India. After impressing in warm-up matches, he was selected for the 1st Test against India on 1 March in Nagpur. However, he was not frequently used by captain Andrew Flintoff, only bowling six fairly expensive overs in the first Indian innings, in comparison to fellow left arm spinner Monty Panesar's 42 overs. In the second Indian innings, Blackwell was initially more economical but as India went on an audacious chase of the huge total set to them by England, he was brought on to prevent the batsmen from scoring quickly, but conceded 18 runs in his first over. This came after a nervous innings of only 4 in his only opportunity with the bat, and Blackwell was subsequently dropped for the second Test, replaced by Liam Plunkett.

Blackwell remained first choice spinner for the One Day International (ODI) series however. Although England lost the series 5–1, Blackwell's performances were encouraging and seemed to indicate he was ready to hold down a regular place in the side. Ten overs in the first ODI went for just 24 runs at the same time as picking up one wicket, his cheapest ever spell in an ODI, while he also picked up figures of 2–39 and 2–21. Blackwell looked set to make another Test match appearance against Sri Lanka, but suffered a shoulder injury which derailed his season. As a consequence he was replaced as spinner in England's ODI side, and was subsequently overlooked by the selectors.

His highest ODI score of 82 came in his second match in 2002 against India, and his best ODI bowling figures were 3-26 against Australia in 2003.

Umpiring career
While still playing, Blackwell got his first taste of umpiring, taking control of a handful of local matches in Durham. After retiring in 2013, Blackwell turned his full attention to umpiring, initially officiating in Minor County and Second XI cricket. In December 2014 Blackwell was added to ECB's reserve list of first-class umpires. Blackwell made his debut in First-class cricket in April 2015 in a match between Somerset and Durham MCC University at Taunton. He umpired his first match in the County Championship in April 2016.

Talk:Social order

untitled
i personally think that social order is a vital asset to the world as internationally. it is cruical that order be purposed in society clearly because of the ever on going prejudice as emerging out of this as race wars, social order is initially assisted by 'birth culture' i.e family roles in an infant....if this is practiced social order will be a long standing fundamental soliditory inviting principle in the world today lol ^ Is that some sort of joke? lol!

it was bad

Equivocation on the term 'order'
In English, the term "social order" refers to the ordering of classes in a society based on some systematic principle, i.e. the feudal social order, etc. and this was conflated with the concept of order as opposed to disorder. For this reason, I removed the last paragraph. Lycurgus 17:15, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Can you provide a source for this definition of "social order"? Given the social theorists cited in the article, your usage seems overly limited and I would suggest that your removal of that paragraph somewhat premature. Eyedubya 23:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes I can but more to the point, the article should be sectioned to disambiguate the equivocation. Will do if nobody else does. There are two distinct senses of the term as I've noted above though of course the one is a generalization of the other. To be clear the 2 distinct usages are reflected in the use/non-use of an article or characterizing adjective, e.g. as in 'The Shogunate was a feudal social order that controlled Japan for 400 years' vs. 'Law and order has been a mantra of those on the right whose primary concern is maintaining social order' . Lycurgus 05:06, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree, the article needs development of just this kind. Go right ahead. Eyedubya 11:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree that the article should be sectioned to reflect the two meanings. However, to the extent that this article is part of the Sociology WikiProject I think that the order/disorder sense should be emphasized. In sociology and especially in sociological theory, the term social order is primarily used in the order/disorder sense. "Theories of Social Order" by Michael Hechter and Christine Horne (2003) is a recent text book that takes this sense of social order to organize an entire course in sociological theory. I am not aware of current research that uses the other sense of "order", although I am happy to learn of such work. --Htw3 18:15, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

This article is tagged as original research. Could anyone pinpoint which part of this article is suspected as original research?--Kittyhawk2 (talk) 15:10, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Social order and religion
There should maybe be non-original research on the links between social order and religion, since it is a favourite among conservatives to claim that the two are deeply related, notably with the expression Christian social order. ADM (talk) 21:28, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Hiden postulates that are biased
Must say that the root of this misunderstanding lies in the idea that self-interest is at odds with social and human interest. In fact this is the case in oppressive societies that enforce social injustice as a norm, but the more societies are just the more it becomes evident that self-interest and social-interest collaborate for the common good and social stability.
 * Order needs to be controlled to exist. Chaos theory has proved this one wrong. Must say that the nuance between social order (a top down concept as it's used in this article) and social stability (note that society is a living system, any valid stability must be dynamic, a static stability is opressive and/or unhealthy to a living system). These comments on views of social stability are fundamental to understanding the mishaps of our history, an elite with a false world view is desperatly attempting to apply static systems logic to a dynamic system.
 * Class tensions stem from different sets of values. There's a whole world of littirature about class strugles, and the idea of domination and privilege are generaly put foward to explain the tensions. In fact many argue that the differences in values have evolved to defend privilege and power rather than the contrary.
 * Likewise, and despite the scholastic efforts of Thomas Schelling, "when all individuals pursue their own preferences, the outcome is segregation rather than integration," is founded on an innocent view of social structure in which people evolve in a non presuraized system. That is simply not the case. It could more correctly be said that a population under exterior stress will tend to segregate if left to auto-structure itself without internal principles of authority. This can be explained as being a defense mechanisme as it's much more difficult for an exterior force to exploit a highly fragmented society that functions at high levels of loyalty.

I must admit that I don't give sources for all that I advance here, but when I have the time I will look them up. These include university papers, books and articles, only I've read about this over years so it'll be hard to find the precise references. It's very important that this article be connected to biological research on population dynamics as well, the very core of the concept of social order is to be found there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dogs-end-saloon (talk • contribs) 15:27, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Dark raspberry
I see that "Dark raspberry" is identified as a color in the section Dark raspberry. The text discusses dark raspberry but claim that it is a color is not supported by a reference. There is a color template with a link but the color template refers to raspberry not dark raspberry, and the linked source makes reference to raspberry but not dark raspberry. Perhaps it is actually a color but that's not supported by this article.

I don't plan to edit this article as my current focus is on the color lists articles (e.g. List_of_colors:_A–F). I do plan to remove this entry from that list, but if someone does some research and can can find evidence that there is a color by this name, it can be restored.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  18:21, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Kelly Doran's Credentials
I don't know enough about this person to correct this statement, but I doubt Kelly is running as a gubernatorial and "former" senate candidate in 2006.
 * Kelly Doran - Wealthy real estate developer and former 2006 U.S. Senate candidate.

Velvetsmog 17:56, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * He was running for the Senate seat vacated by Mark Dayton, but then decided to run for governor instead. He later droped out of that race as well. Brash 00:40, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Potential Candidates
how should this be handled the conventions are on now so they are not running so how should they be listed Smith03 21:21, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I moved it down to the bottom of the DFL section. We should leave it up until A) we get confirmation that they are not running, or B) the September 12 primary is over, thus making it impossible for anyone who is not on the ballot to run. Brash 00:40, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

 * On second thought, after reviewing all of the candidates, both Murphy and Johnson are party loyalists and would never jump into the race AFTER the convention. And Ciresi had already stated that he would not be running for any statewide office this year. .  I think it's pretty safe to say that none of them are "potential" candidates and do not belong in this article.  I believe we should delete the potential candidates section, or at least rename it so it doesn't give the impression that they might still jump into the race.  Brash 05:31, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Fleshing This Article Out
I have a few notes. First, I notice that someone moved the Republican candidates above the DFL candidates - while I don't think that's a bad idea, I start questioning motives when I notice that the same person, who made those changes anonymously, also added a short blurb about Sue Jeffers (Republican contender) when there are no similar blurbs about anyone else. While the intentions of this individual might have been a little more sinister and was just to give thier favorite candidate more visibility, it's a good idea - we should flesh out a few short blurbs on each of the candidates.

Secondly, we should start creating a timeline of sorts, talking about the evolutions in the race to date. This way, we can have an actual useable reference instead of just a list of candidates. If anyone else wants to throw in any information into this article too, I'd be all about that as well. Brash 19:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Focusing (psychotherapy)

Major anon edit
A major anon edit has been applied [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Focusing&curid=911776&diff=30825084&oldid=27584343}. There's quite a bit of opinion in the new version, but there is enough new, good content that I decided not to revert it. The article would benefit from a proper review, especially of this edit. --- Charles Stewart 15:22, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

The whole article is confusing, vague, off-topic, opinionated, and promotional of individual focusing practitioners. Completely non-representative of what focusing is or aims to do. I suggest a complete rewrite, based on the introduction to the Focusing book, and that's it -- no added fluff or opinion, not even Gendlin's later thought. Softlavender 11:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Rewrite
(see comment above)

As an advocate for the reader who will come to this article wondering what the heck Focusing is and whether it can help them with their personal and psychological problems, I have used the K.I.S.S. principle and used ONLY what would benefit the newcomer and the uninformed. One must remember that this is a psychology article and not a philosophy article. Speculative and advanced material should either be on Gendlin's Wikipedia article or in a subsection (with appropriate subheading) to this article, at the bottom. Material mentioning or promoting other practitioners and contributors to the process is questionable at best -- if it must be included, in order not to muddy the clear simple gist of the article, it should be added at the bottom of the article under a heading called "Further developments." I question whether the mentioning of this practioner information (and other abstruse information) is germane to this article, or more appropriate to be kept on the Focusing Institute's own web page.

In short, what I have done is take the information from the book Focusing and put it in simple digested terms, to form a clear and simple introductory article on what focusing is. I hope uninformed readers find it helpful and useful. Softlavender 11:18, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

"Focusing" — to capitalize or not to capitalize?
Of course an editor or proofreader would insist on perfect consistency one way or another; but though it seems important to capitalize the word to distinguish it as a specific technique, and to differentiate it from the ordinary meaning of the word, to capitalize it every single time is mightily oppressive. Conversely, to have it lowercase every time seems somewhat misleading, as the fact of it as a unique process seems denied. Taking my cue from the Focusing Institute's website, I have capitalized somewhat, but not always.

Opinions? I feel that if we must be consistent, lowercase throughout is definitely preferable. Gendlin himself does not capitalize the word in his book Focusing. Softlavender 22:53, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

 * (Returns here after two long absences) We wouldn't capitalise psychoanalysis, so we shouldn't capitalise focusing as the technique. Of course, the book title should be capitalised, and placed in italics. --- Charles Stewart (talk) 09:45, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

 * It is clear that psychoanalysis is a noun. But since focusing can be used as a verb as in "I am focusing on the eye chart." it needs to be capitalized when used as a noun to make the grammar clear.Pasado (talk) 20:54, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Sizeable edits were made, but they actually muddy things further
I see that a whole new angle to this has been added by IlanS - touting something that looks related to Gendlin's Focusing, but is not the only related thing. As such, I think it actually diminishes the article. I don't want to simply "revert" because I think that some of what s/he wrote will be useful eventually. Although I am not an expert, I will try to "clean things up" a bit, and also supply some references, but will not be able to do this for a week or so. (Today, a few very minor things only!) Please help if you can! - Martha (talk) 19:36, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Er...couldn't keep my itchy fingers off it! so did what I could today! - Martha (talk) 21:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

This article reads like unbalanced promotion
If I have time I will come back to this page. Caught it in passing. Aside from issues of typos, etc., this article has zero credibility & reads like naive promotion. Whole Sight (talk) 15:27, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

I strongly agree with Whole Sight. Besides issues with tone, it lacks neutral sources. Given the strong claims made about Focusing, one would expect references to studies or surveys. Currently all references appear to be to books advocating focusing, etc. Hkfscp11 (talk) 17:48, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

 * I suspect that any self-promotional quality of this article is typical of many other articles on psychotherapy, and that such typicality reflects the amount of self-promotion that goes on in the field of psychotherapy in general. For an overview of related controversies in the field of psychotherapy see, for example:

 * If you are serious about cleaning up this article, you could start by tagging it with one or more appropriate cleanup tags. An easy (but not always a sufficient) way to add balance to articles on psychotherapy is to add a "Criticism" section; I made a list of such sections that you can browse at . Thanks, Biogeographist (talk) 04:05, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

EFT
There is one article that covers both forms of EFT, emotionally focused therapy and emotion-focused therapy, but the latter form of EFT more explicitly incorporates Focusing. Hence I. This is entirely in accord with MOS:EGG, which states: "Keep piped links as intuitive as possible. Per the principle of least astonishment, make sure that the reader knows what to expect when clicking on a link. You should plan your page structure and links so that everything appears reasonable and makes sense. If a link takes readers to somewhere other than where they thought it would, it should at least take them somewhere that makes sense." The changed form of the link is the form that is more relevant to Focusing, and since the target article covers both forms of EFT (as explained in the lead paragraph and subsequent sections of the EFT article), there is nothing about the changed link that is unreasonable or does not make sense, per MOS:EGG.

Talk:Eurasian cuisine

I don't think "Eurasian cuisine" is established as a term for fusion cuisine. Googling, it looks mostly limited to Indigo restaurant in Honolulu.

"Eurasian cuisine" is already in use to describe cuisine of long-established Eurasian communities.

Pangsau Pass

Pangsau Pass or Pan Saung Pass, 3727 ft in altitude, lies on the crest of the Patkai Hills on the India–Myanmar border. The pass offers one of the easiest routes into Burma from the Assam plains. It is named after the closest Burmese village, Pangsau, that lies 2 km beyond the pass to the east. To the east of Pangsau Pass, India's undisputed easternmost point "Chaukan Pass" lies and to the east of Vijaynagar in the Changlang district.

Early era
During the 13th century, it was the frequently used route by Ahoms, a Shan tribe, for their arrival and settlement in Assam in India.

British raj era
The British in the late 19th century looked at the pass as a possible railway route from India to Myitkyina in north Burma through the Hukawng Valley, all of which were part of the British Empire at the time, but no railway was built. In the 19th century, British railway builders had surveyed the Pangsau Pass, which is 1136 m high on the India-Burma border, on the Patkai crest, above Nampong, Arunachal Pradesh and Ledo, Tinsukia (part of Assam). They concluded that a track could be pushed through to Burma and down the Hukawng Valley. Although the proposal was dropped, the British prospected the Patkai Range for a road from Assam into northern Burma. British engineers had surveyed the route for a road for the first 80 mi.

During World War II the pass became famous because of the Stilwell Road (Ledo Road) connecting British India to Nationalist Chinese forces fighting the Japanese in China. The pass was the large initial obstacle encountered by United States General Joseph "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell's forces in their effort to build a land route to supplement The Hump air route (after the other land route, the Burma Road was lost to advancing Japanese forces).

The Stilwell Road began at Ledo, Assam, the railhead, and passed through Tirap Gaon, Lekhapani, Tipong, Jagun, Jairampur (the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh boundary and beginning of Inner Line), and Nampong before switchbacking steeply upwards through densely forested hills to the pass, 12 km away. The distance from Ledo to Pangsau Pass is 61 km. Because of the fierce gradients and the mud, which made getting up to the pass difficult, it was nicknamed "Hell Pass" during the war.

Present era
The Pangsau Pass Winter Festival since 2007 is a joint India-Myanmar 3 day annual global village event organized during the 3rd week of January every year in Nampong, Arunachal Pradesh. It showcases diverse cultures of Northeast India and Myanmar including folk songs, folk dances, arts, crafts, ethnic foods, and traditional sports, and culture of Tangsa Naga tribe. Tangsa Rongrand War dance, Lungchang dance, Wancho dance, Bihu Dance, and Bamboo dance performances are held.

Da Bush Babees

Da Bush Babees is an American underground hip-hop trio loosely affiliated with the Native Tongues. The members of the group originally performed under the stage names Babe-B-Face Kaos (later Lee Majors), Mister Man (later King Khaliyl) and Y-Tee (later Light).

The three grew up in Jamaica and Trinidad, where reggae strongly influenced their style. It was in 1992 in Brooklyn, New York, United States, where Mister Man first saw Kaos perform, that the group was formed. The two began collaborating, and after Mister Man suggested adding a reggae toaster, Y-Tee joined the group. After their early concert dates attracted major-label interest, the trio performed live office auditions and signed with Reprise three months after launching the group. Their first album, Ambushed (1994), featured production from Jay Matias, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Salaam Gibbs (later known as Salaam Remi) and the group itself, among others. Later releases included "Remember We" in 1995 and their 1996 second album Gravity, which was the group's first underground and commercial success. Its lead single, "The Love Song", was produced by Posdnous of De La Soul; that single also featured a then-unknown Mos Def singing the chorus, who also sang the chorus and rapped the third verse of the album's seventh track, "S.O.S".

Da Bush Babees have since begun recording and performing again under the name Dub Rock All-Stars and are currently in the process of finalizing an as-yet untitled album. Their most recent performance was May 23, 2012 at the Lyricist Lounge 20 Year Reunion Party at (le) Poisson Rouge in New York City. Also gracing the stage along with Da Bush Babees, were classic Hip-Hop powerhouses Doug E. Fresh, Kid Capri, Black Thought of The Roots, Prodigy of Mobb Deep, Mos Def, Pharoahe Monch and many others.

Mr. Man later changed his nickname to Mr. Khaliyl, and later to Lord Khaliyl, and went on to produce for other artists, and he also released a rare 12-inch single on Rawkus featuring Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch and DCQ. Mr. Man has also more recently produced for such artists as Res and Fabolous.

David Wicks

David Wicks is a fictional character from the BBC TV soap opera EastEnders, played by Michael French. David originally appeared from 23 December 1993 to 21 November 1996. He returned to the show on 1 January 2012 and departed two weeks later on 13 January. French returned to the role on 26 September 2013. David has been involved in various storylines, such as his troubled and dysfunctional reconciliation with his biological children Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) and Joe Wicks (Paul Nicholls), —his volatile and equally dysfunctional relationship with his mother Pat Butcher (Pam St Clement), an affair with his sister-in-law Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), reuniting with Carol Jackson (Lindsey Coulson) and struggling to cope with her diagnosis of breast cancer. On 17 May 2014, it was announced that French had once again decided to leave the show. David last appeared on 30 May 2014, after his relationship with Carol broke down. In July 2024, it was announced that French would be reprising the role for a short stint after ten years away, with David returning later in the year.

Backstory
David is the son of Pat Wicks (Pam St Clement) and her first husband Pete Beale (Peter Dean). Pat and Pete split up when David and his brother Simon (Nick Berry) were young and Pat remarried to Brian Wicks (Leslie Schofield), who adopted both David and Simon (who turned out to be Brian's biological son). Meanwhile, Pete remarried to Kathy Hills (Gillian Taylforth) and had another son, Ian (Adam Woodyatt). Pete had no further contact with David and Simon when they moved away from Walford in 1976.

During his teenage years, David got his girlfriend Carol Branning (Lindsey Coulson) pregnant at the age of 14. David and the rest of the Branning family tried to persuade Carol to have an abortion and Carol's brother Derek Branning (Terence Beesley, later Jamie Foreman) severely beat David up. The Wicks family left Walford, due to Derek's aggression so David never knew if Carol had the abortion or not. For the next few years, David, his mother and brother, suffered at the violent hands of his abusive stepfather, Brian. Pat also proved to be a negligent mother due to her alcoholism and constant promiscuity. In 1979, the 17-year-old David moved to live with his girlfriend, Lorraine Foster (Jacqueline Leonard), and she quickly becomes pregnant. They married in a quick wedding ceremony, before the birth of their son Joe (Paul Nicholls) in 1980, when David was 18. This was followed by a daughter, Karen, in 1982. David was a restless man, feeling tied down and after several affairs, he left his wife and children in 1988.

1993–1996
David returns on 23 December 1993 for the funeral of his father Pete, who had died in a car crash two weeks earlier but does not interact with anyone. A few weeks later he moves in with his mother Pat and soon goes into business with her stepson Ricky Butcher (Sid Owen) with a car lot that they name "Deals on Wheels". David receives a stark reminder of his past in the form of Carol and her large brood of children, who have just moved into Albert Square, and soon finds himself falling for her oldest daughter Bianca (Patsy Palmer). Carol is very hostile towards him, and is horrified when she witnesses the growing flirtatious relationship between David and Bianca. This results in Carol telling David that Bianca is his daughter in March 1994. David is horrified and agrees to keep his distance from Bianca, much to her chagrin.

The truth is revealed to an embarrassed Bianca in March 1995 when, after drunkenly trying to kiss David after he rescues her from being mugged, David is forced to confess that she is his daughter. Despite being initially hostile towards David over his absence during the majority of her life, Bianca has a change of heart and is keen to bond with her father. But the relationship is further complicated, when during July 1995, David confides in the Samaritans charity (unbeknownst to any of his family) that he still feels sexually attracted to Bianca despite the knowledge that he is her biological father. A case of GSA, this was one of EastEnders' most controversial and daring storylines at this point in the show's history. There is further tension when Bianca makes David uncomfortable by dating his stepbrother Ricky. Though David's unexplained strange behaviour towards Bianca is never fully explained to an unaware and confused Bianca, they eventually form a close bond naturally as a father and daughter. David's estranged son Joe arrives in Walford in April 1996. With him comes the news that his daughter Karen died in a car accident nine months previously. Joe's return causes many problems for David, and at first David rejects the idea of having his son back in his life. However, after Joe runs away and arrives back at David's again, he becomes more receptive to Joe and the idea of having him in his life again. Eventually Joe and Lorraine move down to London from Bolton and Joe moves in with David. However, Joe seriously blames himself for Karen's death, and this leads to Joe developing schizophrenia. Joe exhibits increasingly strange behaviour that gets progressively worse. This is one of the main reasons that David eventually leaves Walford.

David is a notorious womaniser. He has relations with Sam Mitchell (Danniella Westbrook) and an affair with Cindy Beale (Michelle Collins), the wife of his half-brother Ian. Cindy becomes obsessed with the idea of running off with David, and hires a hit man to kill Ian. Ian is shot but survives, and when David finds out he ends the relationship, but not before helping Cindy escape with her two sons. Shortly after, David has a fling with ex-partner, Carol. Eventually, the truth is revealed about David's affair with Cindy and his fore-knowledge of the attempted murder of Ian. The loss of friends and alienation of his family, together with Joe's worsening mental condition with schizophrenia leads David to decide leave Albert Square for Milan. David leaves in a torrent of tears after telling Joe he is going.

2012–2014
In 2010, Bianca receives £10,000 for her wedding from David, as he is unable to attend. In December 2011, Pat phones David after she learns that he has had an affair with his brother Simon's wife. Pat argues with David on the phone about his infidelity, and ends the call on bad terms.

David returns the following month after hearing that Pat is ill. He is later stunned to discover that Pat is in fact dying of pancreatic cancer. They argue and David resolves to leave, but Carol persuades him to stay. Derek arrives and provokes David, and a fight breaks out. David tells Derek he is staying and returns to Pat, where he forgives her for her past mistakes and she dies in his arms. David decides to stay in Walford to plan Pat's funeral. He flirts with Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons) and goes to have sex with her, but has second thoughts and nothing happens. David then declares his love for Carol. She reciprocates, and the pair reunite. David tries to settle his differences with Derek, but Derek threatens him. Michael Moon (Steve John Shepherd) suggests to David that they should team up to bring Derek down and get him arrested. David agrees after Derek upsets Carol. They attempt to set Derek up by having Michael plant stolen goods in Derek's home. However, Derek catches Michael in the act, and Michael blames the entire scheme on David. When David learns of this he begs Carol to leave with him. Carol agrees, but following Pat's funeral, David is confronted by Derek and his brothers Jack (Scott Maslen) and Max (Jake Wood). Derek threatens to kill David, but Jack and Max restrain Derek as they let David go. As he returns to his car to meet Carol, he sees her saying an emotional goodbye to Bianca and her family, so realises her family needs her and leaves without her. David sends a letter to Carol but it is intercepted and locked away by Derek. After Derek dies, the letter is found and Carol tries to contact David but discovers his phone number has been disconnected.

Several months later, David unexpectedly arrives at Carol's house, interrupting her evening with her boyfriend, Masood Ahmed (Nitin Ganatra), saying he has a present for Bianca. His girlfriend Naomi (Lisa Maxwell) arrives with a suitcase of cash that they stole from her husband Don (Simon Thorp). Naomi realises that David wants to give some of the cash to Bianca, and when he says they are just using each other, she calls Don, who arrives and beats David up. Carol takes him in, which bothers Masood. When he recovers, he agrees to leave but manipulates Carol into letting him stay until Bianca returns. He attempts to meddle in Masood and Carol's relationship because he wants Carol back. When Bianca returns, she is overjoyed to see David, but asks him to leave for Carol's sake. However, she changes her mind when she decides she wants her father around. David realises that Max is in prison because he was set up by Carl White (Daniel Coonan) and that Ian is probably lying about being a witness. When David cannot convince Ian to retract his statement, he tells Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) what he knows, who kidnaps Ian so that Max is set free and Carol has her brother back. In gratitude, Max offers David a job at the car lot. David and Carol drift apart and she asks him to leave the family home. After Alice's brother Joey Branning (David Witts) tips him off, David becomes suspicious that his former stepsister Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks) killed Michael and has framed Alice Branning (Jasmyn Banks). He manipulates Janine into letting him move in and then into confessing the murder. He records the confession on his phone and blackmails Janine into giving him £250,000 or he will reveal the truth.

When Carol starts to act erratically, David asks her what the matter is. She brings him along to a doctor's appointment where he discovered she has breast cancer. Carol later invites David to move back in with him. Janine panics that she may go to prison and decides to kill David by running him over with a car, but he suffers only minor injuries. He takes Janine to her house and takes the £250,000, but agrees to wait a day before calling the police, so that Janine can have a chance to be a mother to her daughter Scarlett Moon, while still ensuring Alice's release from prison. He also blurts out about Carol's cancer to Janine, saying that he wants the money to pay for her care. David returns to Carol's house, where she reveals she found his phone and has heard Janine's confession. He asks for his phone back, but she tells him that she's handed it to Joey. When he goes to stop Joey, he sees Janine being arrested. David asks Max, who rents the car lot building, if he can have a 50% control of the business, and offers him £50,000 to do it up. When Max refuses, David tells him about Carol's illness and he decides to accept the offer. However, Max is furious when he finds the Portakabin he uses being taken away. About an hour later, a bigger Portakabin arrives with a new name, titled Deals On Wheels. David later buys the building from Roxy, for £100,000, leaving him in full control of the business. However, he promises Carol that he will continue to treat Max properly. In February 2014, Carol dumps Masood, after realising that she still loves David, and the couple get engaged the following month. In the build-up to the wedding, David is tempted by Nikki Spraggan (Rachel Wilde), and kisses her on one occasion, though he regrets this and rejects her on several other occasions, even after she allows him to see her naked. When Bianca discovers this, David reaffirms his love for Carol. On the day of the wedding, David suffers a heart attack and collapses in the middle of the Square, leading Carol to believe that he has jilted her again. He is taken into hospital, where Carol eventually realises he is, and visits him. However, they argue, as Carol believes that he isn't as ill as he is making out. Carol leaves the hospital. David discharges himself the next day, and visits Carol at home. Despite their attempts to save their relationship, both concede that they cannot work. After sharing one last dance together, David agrees to move out and also to return to hospital. However, he changes his mind at the last minute and asks his driver to take him to Heathrow Airport alone. It is later revealed that David is living in the United States.

Departure
It was announced in February 1996 that French and Michelle Collins had decided to quit their roles of David and Cindy in order to pursue other roles. An EastEnders insider said that Cindy is desperate for David to leave the Square with her and the children and is said to "rock the square". Producers were reportedly trying to keep French with the show but only managed to persuade him to stay for another few months. French was rumoured to have "cracked up" when filming his final scenes as David. He broke down during filming and said to the cast: "I can't go on". An insider said that French repeatedly kept getting one line wrong and later stormed off set and refused to continue until crew members were able to calm him down.

Reintroduction (2012–2013)
On 7 July 2011, it was announced that St. Clement had quit EastEnders. In October 2011, it was rumoured that David and Simon were to return to EastEnders for Pat's departure storyline. The Sun reported producers were working to get French and Berry on board. A BBC spokesperson declined to comment on the report, saying "There has been a lot of speculation surrounding Pat's departure, however we are not going to comment on rumours at this stage as we don't want to spoil the storyline for viewers." On 13 November 2011, it was confirmed French would be reprising his role as David after an absence of 15 years. French returned to EastEnders as David Wicks in 2012 after more than 15 years away for the departure of Pam St Clement, who played his on-screen mother, Pat Butcher. His return was aired on New Year's Day 2012 and he again departed the soap on 13 January 2012. In All About Soap Awards 2012, Michael French won the Best Comeback award for his brief return as David Wicks. David and Carol reconcile. Coulson explained "Carol thinks, 'Why not?' David makes her feel good and she's not thinking very far ahead. She's in the moment. It's not just a sex thing, it's about having somebody love her again." She continued: "Carol will be very brittle if she loses David after this. She'll put up all her defences and think, 'That's it - nobody is going to destroy me again'." However, David tries to make peace with Derek but it fails and the plan backfires.

Eighteen months later, shortly after leaving the BBC drama Casualty, French reprised the role full-time in September 2013.

Second departure
In May 2014, it was announced that French was leaving the soap for a third time. His last episode was broadcast on 30 May 2014.

Return (2024)
In July 2024, it was announced that French would be reprising the role for a short stint after ten years away, with David returning later in the year.

Reception
In 1998, writers from Inside Soap published an article about the top ten characters they wanted to return to soap. David was featured and they described him as "a used-car salesman and Walford's very own Juan Don." They added that his 1996 departure remained authentic to his "true lothario style".

In 2020, Sara Wallis and Ian Hyland from The Daily Mirror placed David 12th on their ranked list of the best EastEnders characters of all time, calling him "womanising" and a "Smoother talker", as well as calling his relationships with Carol, Bianca and Joe "explosive".

Nur ad-Din al-Bitruji

Nūr al-Dīn ibn Isḥaq al-Biṭrūjī (نور الدين ابن إسحاق البطروجي, died c. 1204), known in the West by the Latinized name of Alpetragius, was an Arab astronomer and qadi in al-Andalus. Al-Biṭrūjī was the first astronomer to present the concentric spheres model as an alternative to the Ptolemaic system, with the planets borne by geocentric spheres. Another original aspect of his system was proposing a physical cause of celestial motions. His alternative system spread through most of Europe during the 13th century.

The crater Alpetragius on the Moon is named after him.

Life
Almost nothing about his life is known, except that his name probably derives from Los Pedroches (al-Biṭrawsh), a region near Cordoba. He was a disciple of Ibn Tufail (Abubacer) and was a contemporary of Averroes.

Planetary model
Al-Bitruji proposed a theory on planetary motion in which he wished to avoid both epicycles and eccentrics, and to account for the phenomena peculiar to the wandering stars, by compounding rotations of homocentric spheres. This was a modification of the system of planetary motion proposed by his predecessors, Ibn Bajjah (Avempace) and Ibn Tufail (Abubacer). He was unsuccessful in replacing Ptolemy's planetary model, as the numerical predictions of the planetary positions in his configuration were less accurate than those of the Ptolemaic model, because of the difficulty of mapping Ptolemy's epicyclic model onto Aristotle's concentric spheres.

It was suggested based on the Latin translations that his system is an update and reformulation of that of Eudoxus of Cnidus combined with the motion of fixed stars developed by al-Zarqālī. However, it is not known whether the Andalusian cosmologists had access or knowledge of Eudoxus works.

One original aspect of al-Biṭrūjī's system is his proposal of a physical cause of celestial motions. He combines the idea of "impetus" (first proposed by John Philoponus) and the concept of shawq ("desire"), of Abū al‐Barakāt al‐Baghdādī, to explain how energy is transferred from a first mover placed in the 9th sphere to other spheres, explaining the other spheres' variable speeds and different motions. He contradicts the Aristotelian idea that there is a specific kind of dynamics for each world, applying instead the same dynamics to the sublunar and the celestial worlds.

His alternative system spread through most of Europe during the 13th century, with debates and refutations of his ideas continued up to the 16th century. Copernicus cited his system in the De revolutionibus while discussing theories of the order of the inferior planets.

Works
Al-Bitruji wrote Kitāb al-Hayʾah ('كتاب الهيئة), which presented criticism of Ptolemy's Almagest from a physical point of view. It was well known in Europe between the 13th and the 16th centuries and was regarded as a valid alternative to Ptolemy's Almagest in scholastic circles.

This work was translated into Latin by Michael Scot in 1217 as De motibus celorum (first printed in Vienna in 1531). Moses ibn Tibbon translated it into Medieval Hebrew in 1259.

There is also an anonymous treatise on the tides (Escorial MS 1636, dated 1192), which contains material seemingly borrowed from al-Bitruji.

Red Mitchell

Keith Moore "Red" Mitchell (September 20, 1927 – November 8, 1992) was an American jazz double-bassist, composer, lyricist, and poet.

Biography
Mitchell was born in New York City. His younger brother, Whitey Mitchell, also became a jazz bassist.

Mitchell was raised in New Jersey by a father who was an engineer and loved music, and a mother who loved poetry. His first instruments were piano, alto saxophone, and clarinet. Although Cornell University awarded him an engineering scholarship, by 1947 he was in the U.S. Army playing bass. The next year, he was in a jazz trio in New York City.

Mitchell performed and/or recorded with Mundell Lowe, Chubby Jackson, Charlie Ventura, Woody Herman, Red Norvo, Gerry Mulligan, and, after joining the West Coast jazz scene in the early 1950s, with André Previn, Shelly Manne, Hampton Hawes, Billie Holiday, Stan Seltzer, Ornette Coleman, and others such as Mahalia Jackson. He also worked as a bassist in television and film studios around Los Angeles, occasionally appearing on screen. Mitchell also appeared in documentaries about Tal Farlow and Zoot Sims.

Saxophonist Harold Land and Mitchell founded and co-led a quintet in the early 1960s.

Mitchell moved to Stockholm in 1968. He won Sweden's Grammis Award in 1986 and again in 1991, for his recorded performances as a pianist, bassist, and vocalist, and for his compositions and poetic song lyrics.

During this period, Mitchell performed and/or recorded with Clark Terry, Lee Konitz, Herb Ellis, Jim Hall, Joe Pass, Kenny Barron, Hank Jones, Ben Webster, Bill Mays, Warne Marsh, Jimmy Rowles, Phil Woods, Roger Kellaway, Putte Wickman and others. He frequently collaborated in duos, most notably with pianist Kellaway after the mid-1980s.

The Swedish government awarded Mitchell the Illis quorum in 1992.

Returning to the United States in early 1992, Mitchell settled in Oregon, where he died of a stroke at age 65 on November 8, 1992.

A collection of his poetry was published posthumously. His widow is preparing a biography.

Technique and playing style
Mitchell used standard tuning during the 1950s and for the first half of the 1960s, and produced sound similar to his professional jazz bass peers. However, "in 1966 he switched to cello tuning on his bass (C-G-D-A, an octave below the cello, instead of the standard E-A-D-G). At the same time, he began adjusting the tone controls of his amplifier to create a soft, unfocused sound in the lowest notes and to emphasize the upper harmonics in higher notes. The result was an airy tone quality that sounded gentle, not muscular. This airy tone and his frequent habit of strumming the strings with his right thumb contributed greatly to his unusual style."
