Zaldibar

Zaldibar (in Basque and officially, in Zaldívar) is an elizate, town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, in the Basque Country, Spain. Zaldibar is part of the comarca of Durangaldea and has a population of 3,043 inhabitants as of 2019 and according to the Spanish National Statistics Institute.

Etymology
Zaldibar can be translated from Basque as "horse valley", from zaldi (horse) and ibar (valley). The coat of arms of the town then includes a horse. Zaldívar is the name in Spanish. However, the town was named Zaldua (Basque) or Zaldúa (Spanish) until 1932. Zaldua is then translated from Basque to Spanish as "el soto", which might be referred to a sotobosque, Spanish word for understory. "Valley of the Soto" is then another possible origin of the current name.

Currently, Zaldua is considered an archaism and it is not used, being since 1980 Zaldibar the official name of the municipality.

History

The elizate of Zaldua, today Zaldibar, was part of the ancient merindad of Durango and had voice and right to vote in the Juntas of Guerendiaga, where it occupied the seat number seven. As it is common with the elizates, the original date of founding is unknown. Tradition goes that the Navarre king Sancho II of Pamplona (935-994) lived ten years in one of the towers of Zaldibar as a prisoner.

The owners of the afore-mentioned tower controlled several territories of what today is Zaldibar. There are historical data that places the construction of the San Andres church (the church of the town) in the 13th century. The church was reconstructed in 1778 from previous damage.

Zaldibar harbours an industrial dumping landfill managed by the private company VerterRecycling. In early February 2020, a landslide in the landfill blocked the main Bilbao-San Sebastián motorway, bringing about a major environmental disaster. Two operators remained missing under toxic mud for several weeks.

Geography
The municipality of Zaldibar is located in the southeastern part of the comarca of Durangaldea and the province of Biscay. It borders at south with the municipality of Elorrio, at west with Berriz, at north with Mallabia and Ermua and at east with the province of Gipuzkoa.

Hydrography
The main river of the town is the Zaldu or Zalduerreka, which joins the Ibaizabal river in Abadiño. The river is joined by several small streams as the Solozabal and Agirre-Sakona. The oriental part of the municipality is crossed by the Ego river, which joins the Deba river in Eibar.

Transports
The main road communication of Zaldibar is the N-634 which crosses the town from east to west. The AP-8 highway also crosses the municipality but cannot be accessed from it; the nearest accesses are in Durango and Ermua. Both roads connect Zaldibar with the rest of Biscay (and its capital, Bilbao) and the province of Gipuzkoa (and its capital, Donostia).

Zaldibar has a station of the narrow-gauge regional railways, Euskotren Trena, which connects the town with other major municipalities and cities like Bilbao, Amorebieta-Etxano, Durango, Eibar, Donostia and Hendaye.

Talk:Joint Sitting of the Australian Parliament of 1974

legal challenge
From my shallow reading of history that the petroleum act was disallowed 13 months later but Im unable (at least in the near future) to state succintly why. Any of you young legal eagles out there able? Please help yourselves! Eric A. Warbuton 06:24, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Not super sure but I think it had something to do with whether or not it had met the technical requirements of s57. In any case it was irrelevant. The other acts were sufficient to allow a double dissolution and the court ruled in Cormack v Cope that even if one of the bills on the original double dissolution writ did not fit the criteria of s57 it did not invalidate the entire process. Shadow007 12:29, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

...And why is this page tagged for cleanup? --Stretch 04:58, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

With regards the disallowance, it comes down to the meaning of "fail to pass". This is the sort of thing a human being rather than a rule book can best determine.

In most parliamentary chambers legislation is rarely passed on the same day it is first introduced. It's even rarer in bicameral systems for both chambers to pass a bill on the same day. Instead there's normally debate about the legislation in the chamber itself, consideration of amendments and (usually) referral to a committee of the parliament. There may even be multiple votes - one on the general principle of the bill, another on the exact final text as amended. All of this takes time, and parliaments can also go into recess, so it's quite possible for legislation in the normal course of events to take longer than three months between passing the House of Representatives and the Senate without there being any intentional delay at all.

Of course equally the Senate can deliberately stall by either bottling the bill up in committee or repeatedly passing motions to defer consideration of the bill to a later date. So at the one extreme you have blatant filibustering and at the other you have normal parliamentary procedure taking time. The former is clearly the "fail to pass" that the double dissolution procedure is designed to overcome, but the latter isn't a case of the two houses being in conflict at all.

The court ruled that the Senate had been given insufficient time to consider the Petroleum and Minerals Authority Bill before it was used as a trigger for the double dissolution. I think the summer recess was a key factor and the ruling was that the three months began when the bill arrived on the floor of the Senate (February) rather than when it passed the House (13 December).

Also I'm not sure the courts can retroactively overturn a double dissolution and election itself; all they can do is rule the trigger legislation invalid if it's got onto the statute book by the double dissolution + joint sitting procedure. However the Governor General would have to take into account whether the trigger is in a position to make it and thus qualifies. It takes human judgement as to precisely where the fine line is between the Senate giving reasoned consideration to a bill the House is being overly hasty about vs the Senate filibustering on a bill the House reasonably wants passed, but this is what Governor Generals and courts are for.

Copyedit required
This article badly requires copy editing for a multitude of reasons:
 * Poor/incorrect citation of Acts and legal cases;
 * Poor/incorrect capitalisation;
 * Such literary gems as:
 * "The Labor party was returned with a reduced majority and, crucially, less than a senate majority to enable his party to legislate."
 * "This led to the historic joint sitting. Its constitionality was clear: from Section 57:"
 * "Consequently, a proclamation by the Governor-General Sir John Kerr on 30 July, for all members of the Senate and the House of Representatives to assemble at the House of Representatives chamber in Parliament House on 6 August was issued."

I could go on but I won't. The article probably needs greater context for a reader unitiated in Australian politcs and/or law as well.

I'll do the copyedit if/when I find the time but I won't complain if someone else does it. Shadow007 07:18, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Party lines
"Voting split along party lines for all Bills: 96 ayes to 91 noes."... with 66 to 61 in the lower house, that would mean senate members split right down the middle on 30 each. Michael Townley, the independent, was admitted to the Liberal Party in early 1975, which leaves Liberal Movement senator Steele Hall... can anyone confirm Hall voted on ALP lines in this joint sitting? Timeshift 19:44, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Proposed expansion and name change
Joint sittings can occur not only following a double dissolution, but also:
 * to elect a replacement Territory Senator to a casual vacancy (this provision has now been repealed but it was used on two occasions, see below), and
 * to be addressed by a (usually foreign) dignitary (eg. Stephen Harper today; previously both George Bushes, and others I forget).

I'd like this article to be expanded to include these circumstances. This would entail a change of name to Joint Sittings of the Australian Parliament.

I've been doing some work on Casual vacancy, including material about the Territory Senators, that can be copied across. Info on the foreign dignitaries wouldn't be hard to compile, but at the moment there's no suitable place for such information - that I can think of. In any case, I don't like the idea of having the 3 sets of circumstances covered in 3 separate places. Far better for them to be all in one article.

Another option would be to have a separate article about Joint Sittings generally, with a link to this article and to Casual vacancy. But that would still leave the foreign dignitaries unaccounted for. Further, there seems to be a general lack of awareness about the way replacement Territory Senators are chosen were chosen between 1973 and 1983 1988, and it would be educational to have all these matters in the one article. That would be my strong preference. -- JackofOz 06:39, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

 * As I understand it there is a difference between the 1974 joint sitting and joint sittings that are convened, for example, to hear speeches from foreign dignatories. In the latter case the two houses are not sitting as a legislative body but rather simply gathering in the one place (generally the House) for convenience whereas in the 1974 sitting the two houses actually convened as a legislative body. Shadow007 06:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC); edited at 06:51 (UTC)

 * Thanks, Shadow007. I appreciate that difference.  However what about the Territory Senators?  There have been 2 such sittings, 1981 and 1988 (as compared with the single sitting pursuant to section 57 in 1974), and they both sat as a formal deliberative (if perhaps not legislative) body.  --  JackofOz 07:32, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Was it the full senate? Timeshift 08:07, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

 * It was the full Senate sitting jointly with the full House of Representatives. I haven't found the Joint Sitting Hansard yet, but this is relevant.

 * However, I've since discovered that I was only half right. Margaret Reid was elected in the joint sitting of 5 May 1981 as per the link I just gave you, under s.9 of the Senate (Representation of Territories) Act 1973, as amended by the Senate (Representation of Territories) Amendment Act 1980.  But by the time the next territory casual vacancy occurred - when Margaret Reid herself resigned in 2003 - those acts had been repealed.  Under s. 44 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the ACT or NT legislature now chooses the replacement senator - see this, p. 8815 - just as the state parliaments have always chosen replacement senators under s.15 of the Constitution.  I'm amazed this law change slipped under my radar (I must be getting old).  So it seems there was only ever one joint sitting in relation to Territory senators casual vacancies, not two. Still, my point remains in principle.  --  JackofOz 13:28, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

 * A further correction, for general info. There were in fact two joint sittings to elect replacement territory senators (both from the ACT) - 5 May 1981 for Margaret Reid, and 16 February 1988 for Bob McMullan. I've re-amended my response to Shadow007 above; and I've put all the details in the casual vacancy article, for those who might be interested.

 * Btw, this method is still actually on the statute books for filling casual vacancies in the hypothetical event that an external territory such as Norfolk Island ever gets a Senator. This is possible under the law, but extremely unlikely - their population would need to increase to the point where they'd qualify for not 1 but 2 House of Reps seats (an impossibly huge increase), and then they'd also get a Senator. --  JackofOz 03:22, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

The point remains that this was the only meaningful and practical joint sitting. Timeshift 09:11, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Constitutitonal background
This was a useful article for me, but it didn't really explain what section 57 of the constitution is, or why a joint sitting is called for. Under what circumstances can this take place? Why didn't Whitlam do this the first time around, rather than having a double dissolution? Perhaps someone could clarify this in the article. Stevage 03:16, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

First colour broadcast
"It was also the first Australian television broadcast in colour". Are we sure about this? According to Australian_television: "Test broadcasting of colour began in the late 1960s. In 1967 ATV-0 telecast the Pakenham races in colour under the supervision of the Broadcasting Control Board." (ref) ThePizzaKing (talk) 10:47, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Also, this at The Aunty Jack Show, commonly cited as the first program shown in colour in Australia (but perhaps only when regular programming turned to colour): "Nevertheless, the cast returned for a special two years later to mark the inauguration of colour television in Australia on 1 March 1975. The special beat ABC's commercial rivals by beginning 3 minutes early, at 11:57 pm 28 March 1975 in black and white and then wiping to colour at midnight."

 * In any case, the claim is dubious. —sroc 💬 01:42, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Constituencies of the National Assembly of Kuwait

There is only one city in Kuwait.
city in Kuwait, and that is Kuwait City. The list here are only districts and areas of Kuwait City. Furthermore, there are already pages on the governorates of Kuwait, of which these disctrics are listed in. Zer0fighta 06:26, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Wouldn't someplace like Al-Ahmadi be considered a different city? --Ahmed 17:11, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Wording
I think the word "District" is little more appropriate and more specific than "Area". District has the following definition: “A region marked off for administrative (or other) porposes.” I'm going to change the wording. --Ahmed 12:40, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

districts vs cities
I don't know why this article has so much interwiki links. Only Italian ja Polish have the district article, all other wikis have "List of cities", which this wiki seems to miss totally. 82.141.95.243 (talk) 18:06, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

again with the wordin
This article has 'area' naming until it was changed without discussion. Area is the most well know name for them, it's the only name I heard since I was born. I found 3 official sites that use the name of 'area': Kuwait National News Agency, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Electricity and Water. Also, some websites like Talabat (ranked 9130 on alexa) use 'area'. also, I'll take some definitions from Oxford dictionary:
 * Area: "A region or part of a town, a country, or the world"
 * District: "An area of a country or city, especially one characterized by a particular feature or activity "
 * Region (Used by [paci.gov.kw PACI]: "An area, especially part of a country or the world having definable characteristics but not always fixed boundaries "

Also: I'm moving this article to 'List of Electoral Districts of Kuwait since it's talking about the electoral districts, not the residential areas. --Kuwaity26 (talk) 01:56, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Zalla

Zalla is a town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, northern Spain, 24 kilometers to the southwest of Bilbao. The river Cadagua runs through the city. According to the 2019 census, it has 8,447 inhabitants.

Popular culture
The Zallense people are known for their popular culture and especially for their mythology. In Zalla, superstitions and beliefs in evil supernatural beings, sorcerers and witchcraft were widespread.

The hermitage of San Pedro Zariquete was a pilgrimage center against the evil eye and against demons. Thousands of devotees who believed themselves possessed by evil spirits in search of the corresponding exorcism passed through the year. The rite was to go to the chapel on the day of the saint on a path (while throwing handfuls of salt), and return on the other, so that the evil spirits did not re-enter the disemboweled person.

Notable people

Delete, & redirect to No 4th Wall to Break, non-notable... I hesitate to do this, because I am actually a fan of this artist's work... however, as the article for this artist's comic Built for Comfort was deleted as non-notable, and as this artist's biography is available at Comixpedia, I find this article to be unnecessary. The best option is to delete and redirect to No 4th Wall to Break, I believe

NOMINATOR: (Sorry Jamie!): Tedzsee 06:27, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Tedzsee. -- Kjkolb 02:24, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Humph, here we go again! The thing is now, how do you decide whether a person is notable?  A search for my name on google reveals that all but three of the first 20 entries are about me.  Between the online games, the robot wars stuff, and three webcomics, one could argue that I was at least quite interesting. -- Hijamiefans
 * Comment. Indeed.  Mind you a google search for "Lucas Teodoro da Silva" reveals three pages of hits about no one but me.  The first 2 searches on "lucastds" hit sources about me, and a search for "tedzsee" gives 6 pages of google entries about me.  The thing is: Rosa Parks is notable.  Martin Luther King Jr. is notable.  Lucas TdS?  Probably no more than you.  And I think, until such time as your comic appears in this encyclopedia, the biography probably doesn't warrant a space here either.  Now, I was one of those who staunchly defended the notability of said comic, but even so, I was uncomfortable with the idea of the bio appearing here.  The precident is that webcartoonists usually don't have bios in this encyclopedia.  Even the entry for Nicholas Gurewitch simply redirects to his comic (ie. he doesn't warrant a seperate entry because it is his COMIC that is notable, not him).  I dunno.  That's why I thought a redirect would be more appropriate.  You can always post the bio on your userpage, as most wikipedians do. --Tedzsee 20:21, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. NN.  One way for me to decide non-notability of people is to think: "I am non-notable.  Am I more notable than this person?" Here, yes. A yes answer means farewell to the article. Xoloz 17:20, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Zeanuri

Zeanuri (Ceánuri) is a town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, northern Spain.

Etymology
The word uri clearly appears in the town's name, which in the western dialect of Basque means town, city. This word usually appears combined with proper names or common names to form place names in the provinces of Vizcaya, Álava and La Rioja.

In the case of Zeanuri, its direct meaning is the town of Cean. The first part of the toponym is unknown since it does not correspond to any Basque word or to any currently recognizable proper name.

In Basque, the name of the town is spelled as Zeanuri according to the modern spelling rules of the language. In 1993 the city council changed the official name of the municipality from its traditional form in Castilian to the form in Basque.

Although self-taught, Hannaford has benefited from the mentoring of South Australian artists Hans Heysen and Ivor Hele. He worked as political cartoonist for the Adelaide Advertiser from 1964 to 1967 (between Pat Oliphant and Michael Atchison), before becoming a full-time artist in 1970.

Primarily known as a portrait artist, depicting the likes of Dame Joan Sutherland, Donald Bradman, Paul Keating, and Bob Hawke, he is also known for his landscapes, still lifes, nudes, and sculptures. He has commented on his portraiture that: "Portraiture is an exploration of character that goes beyond photography. It is an ongoing thing over a long period of time. You get elements of various emotions that can be sensed in the painting."

Hannaford first entered the Archibald Prize in 1991 with a portrait of Hugh Stretton. The portrait was shortlisted, and won the 1991/1992 People's Choice Award. To 2018, 26 of his entries have been finalists in 21 of the competitions, and he has been a three-time winner of the People's Choice Award – in 1992, 1996 and 1998.

"Black Chicks Talking" Project
"Black Chicks Talking" was a project conceived by the actor Leah Purcell and her partner Bain Stewart, and developed by their production company Bungabura Productions. At the invitation of Stewart, in the period 1999 to 2002 Hannaford painted 10 portraits of noted Australian indigenous women to support the project which had been presented to Hannaford as an initiative to raise funds for a mentoring scheme for young Indigenous people. In order to keep the portraits together as a group, they were donated to the Tweed River Gallery.

John S. Gibson Jr.

John S. Gibson Jr. (August 11, 1902 – April 22, 1987) was an American politician, whose career spanned many decades and two states. A member of the Democratic Party from San Pedro, Gibson served on the Los Angeles City Council for the 15th district from 1951 and 1981, and did two lengthy stints as its president. Earlier in his life, Gibson's tenure as Mayor of Geneseo, Kansas made him the youngest elected mayor in the nation at the time.

Despite being politically powerful in San Pedro, Gibson ran at least three times unsuccessfully for other offices. In 1957, Gibson ran for Mayor of Los Angeles, but did not qualify for the ballot. He ran for Los Angeles County Assessor in 1962 and for the United States House of Representatives in 1968.

Early life and education
Gibson was born on August 11, 1902, in Geneseo, Kansas, the son of John S. Gibson of Constantine, Michigan, and Flora Dix Gibson of Lynn, Massachusetts, Gibson graduated from Geneseo High School and the University of Kansas.

Mayor of Geneseo, Kansas
After high school, he worked in his father's bank and at age 21 became the mayor of the small town of Geneseo, Kansas, the youngest municipal executive at that time ever to serve in the United States. "On the second floor of City Hall was the council and the judge's chambers," he told a reporter in 1975. "When the judge died I served in his place for about a year because I was also the mayor."

Career
Gibson moved with his wife and children to California in 1926 or 1927, where he worked for his father-in-law's Long Beach dairy for a year before relocating to San Pedro, Los Angeles in 1928. He graduated from the American Institute of Banking and became president of the Citizens Bank there in 1930 and a general contractor in 1941.

Philanthropy
In 1951 he was on the board of the San Pedro YMCA, director of the Pacific Southwest Region of Youth for Christ, chairman of the board of the First Baptist Church of San Pedro, treasurer of the Harbor Association of Evangelicals and a member of the Christian Businessmen's Association. He founded California's first Boys Club in San Pedro. He was a hunter and fisherman and, as a council member, regularly sponsored a fishing derby at the Los Angeles Harbor for local children.

Elections
In 1951 Gibson successfully challenged George H. Moore, the incumbent, in Los Angeles City Council District 15, winning by 10,555 votes to 9,514 in the final vote. Pat Russell tried unsuccessfully to unseat Gibson as council president in 1975.

In the 1977 election, the Municipal Elections Committee of Los Angeles (MECLA), a homosexual-rights group, put $5,000 into the campaign of Jim Stanberry, enough to force Gibson into an unaccustomed runoff election. Gibson responded to this unusual challenge by attacking Stanberry for accepting the money and for his membership in the left-wing Peace and Freedom Party. In the final vote, Gibson won with 2,748 votes to Stanberry's 1,123.

Gibson held the third-longest incumbency of any Los Angeles City Council member—30 years, after Ernani Bernardi's 32 years and John Ferraro's 35 years.

Positions
Though he often described himself as a "conservative Democrat," when he was first named president of the City Council in 1953 he was identified as a part of the "so-called liberal bloc," and he appointed other such councilmen—like Gordon Hahn, who broke a 7–7 tie to vote for Gibson as president—to chair the most important committees of the council. He was said to be "a liberal joining a very conservative council."

He "loathed laws and regulations that he felt hampered free enterprise, and his pro-business, pro-growth views often angered environmentalists and tenants seeking protection through rent control and condominium conversion ordinances."

Gibson was frequently described as a "nice guy," with an "easygoing, affable manner" and a "folksy sense of humor," but he could also be cantankerous and vindictive, the Los Angeles Times remarked editorially, as when he stripped Pat Russell and Marvin Braude of their committee positions in 1975 and "assign[ed] them to obscure and unimportant panels" after the two of them had opposed Gibson's bid for reelection as council president.

He was a self-described religious fundamentalist who "made no attempt to separate his religious beliefs from his politics." He admired Billy Graham and said he never attended a council meeting without first saying a prayer. He said his favorite Bible verse was Galatians 6:2-3, "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if any one thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself" a quotation read to him by his mother when he became mayor of Geneseo, Kansas.

He blocked a community plan for San Pedro for nearly twenty years "because he opposed government-mandated controls on growth." In 1973 he agreed with Councilman Billy G. Mills that the city was following planning policies that ignored housing for the poor and that would result in "larger inner-city ghettos." He objected to policies that allowed large lots in more affluent parts of town but, he said, concentrated apartments in the poorer sections.

He was the only City Council member who did not use a private office but preferred to work "elbow-to-elbow with his staff in a large City Hall room, generally in his shirt sleeves."

In 1975 he said he was upset by laws that would reduce penalties for possession of marijuana. He added:

"Permissiveness is destroying the morality of the young people and contributes to rising crime. I don't claim to be sinless, but as long as I breathe a breath I shall do my best to at least all people's attention to these matters."

Gibson played a key role in bringing the Dodgers baseball club from Brooklyn to Chavez Ravine in Los Angeles.

Presidency
Gibson set a record of sixteen years as City Council president (1953–61 and 1969–77), leading his colleagues to designate him as president emeritus when he retired from the council in 1981, the only person ever honored in that way. He was thus acting mayor when Norris Poulson or Sam Yorty was out of the city.

With Yorty out of town on a European trip, it fell to Gibson to deal with the city's response to the Watts Riots of 1965. He was also left to handle a 1973 energy crisis. His "calm handling of those crises won him respect—and an unofficial title as the city's 'panic mayor.' "

He at one point ordered the locking of exits from the council chamber and the posting of police guards to prevent the possible breaking of a quorum.

Personal life
Gibson was married on January 16, 1923, to Mina Workman of Lyons, Kansas. They had two daughters, Marlyn Irene Buehler and Florene Dix Blackwelder.

Gibson suffered a heart attack in 1974, but "it was his wife's death in 1978 that seemed to take the biggest toll." He died at his home on April 22, 1987, when he was recuperating from hip surgery. Funeral services were held at the First Baptist Church in San Pedro, and interment was at Green Hills Memorial Park on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

Legacy
In his honor, several landmarks in the 15th district bear his name. In 1973, the council unanimously voted to name a boulevard near the Port of Los Angeles after him. In 1977 a small park in front of the Los Angeles Maritime Museum at the corner of S. Harbor and 6th street was given his name, and in 1984, the municipal building ("city hall") of San Pedro was also named for him.

Joannes Aurifaber Vratislaviensis

Joannes Aurifaber Vratislaviensis (30 January 1517 – 19 October 1568), born Johann Goldschmidt in Breslau, was a Lutheran theologian and Protestant reformer. He adopted the cognomen Vratislaviensis ("of Breslau") to distinguish himself from another writer of his time, the Joannes Aurifaber from Weimar.

Life
Joannes Aurifaber Vratislaviensis was the younger brother of the physician Andreas Aurifaber. He was educated at Wittenberg, where he formed a close and lasting friendship with Philipp Melanchthon. After graduating in 1538, he spent twelve years as docent at the university, and having then received his doctorate of divinity, was appointed professor of divinity and pastor of the church of St. Nicholas at Rostock. He distinguished himself by his conciliatory disposition, earned the special confidence of John Albert I, Duke of Mecklenburg, and took a leading part in 1552 in drawing up the constitution of the Mecklenburg church. He also settled some religious disputes in the town of Lübeck.

In 1553 Albert, Duke of Prussia, anxious to heal the differences in the Prussian church caused by the discussion of Andreas Osiander's doctrines, invited Aurifaber to Königsberg, and in the following year appointed him professor of divinity at the Königsberg Albertina University and president of the Samland diocese. Aurifaber, however, found it impossible to conciliate all parties, and in 1565 returned to Breslau, where, in 1567, he became pastor in the church of St. Elizabeth and inspector of the Lutheran churches and schools.

Ea, Spain

Ea (also pronounced Ie in local Basque) is a town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, in the autonomous community of Basque Country, northern Spain.

The town has three boroughs: Ea, Bedarona and Natxitua. The main one, Ea, is the most populated of the municipality, which has a total population of 865 (2014).

Geography
Ea is located on the coast, 50 km northeast from Bilbao, in the bottom of a tiny estuary that breaks through the cliffs of the Bay of Biscay. The Ea river crosses the town, which has three bridges, the oldest one being the so-called "Roman Bridge" (featured in the coat of arms) that is really a medieval one. There is a small fishing port, but the predominant activities of the town are agriculture, silviculture and cattle, with many farms disperse around the typically basque countryside.

History
The area was a rural one, centered on the parishes of Natxitua and Bedarona. In the 16th century, fishermen from both villages founded a new permanent settlement at the bottom of the tiny estuary of the river Ea. After two centuries, the settlement became far more important than its two neighboring villages, so finally a new municipality was created, uniting the two former villages and with capital in Ea. As a remainder of its past as two separated parishes, Ea has two main churches, one at each bank of the river.

Transport
There is a taxi service in the town.

Fiestas
The first fiesta in the calendar is San Juan, from the night of the 23rd until the 26th of June. On the 16th of July the town celebrates The Virgin of Carmen, patron saint of fishermen. San Ignacio takes place in the Bedarona neighborhood on the 31st of July. During the first weekend of August there is the Gazte Eguna rock festival in Natxitua. On August 24 the people of the town gather together for San Bartolome day. There is a paella championship, traditional Basque sports and dancing at night. There is an end-of-summer party on the last weekend of August.

Days Of Poetry
Every year since 2003, for three days in July, members of the cultural workshop HEA, inspired by the Basque poet and Ea summer visitor Gabriel Aresti, organize the poetry festival Eako Poesia Egunak (Days of Poetry in Ea). The event incorporates dance, poetry, concerts and theater and has become a major event in the Basque cultural calendar. The 2014 edition is from the 15th to the 17th of July.

Joannes Aurifaber (Vimariensis)

Joannes Aurifaber (1519 – November 18, 1575), born Johann Goldschmidt in Weimar, Germany, was a Lutheran churchman, theologian, and a Protestant reformer. Owing to a similarly-named contemporary, he is sometimes distinguished by the cognomen Vimariensis or Vinariensis ("of Weimar").

Life
He studied at Wittenberg where he heard the lectures of Martin Luther, and afterwards became tutor to Count Mansfeldt. In the war of 1544–45 he accompanied the army as field-preacher, and then lived with Luther as his famulus or private secretary, being present at his death in 1546. In the following year he spent six months in prison with John Frederick I, Elector of Saxony, who had been captured by the emperor, Charles V.

He held for some years the office of court-preacher at Weimar, but owing to theological disputes was compelled to resign this office in 1561. In 1566 he was appointed to the Lutheran church at Erfurt, and there remained till his death in November 1575.

Besides taking a share in the first collected or Jena edition of Luther's works (1556), Aurifaber sought out and published at Eisleben in 1564–1565 several writings not included in that edition. He also published Luther's Letters (1556, 1565), and Table Talk (1566). This popular work, which has given him most of his fame, is unfortunately but a second or third hand compilation.

Gordon Hahn

Gordon Ryerson Hahn (April 15, 1919 – March 29, 2001) was a member of the Los Angeles City Council and California State Assembly in the mid-20th Century.

While on the council, he cast the decisive vote that brought the Brooklyn Dodgers to Los Angeles and was instrumental in the appointment of Gilbert Lindsay, who became the first African American on the city council.

His brother, Kenneth Hahn, was Los Angeles County supervisor for 40 years. After Kenneth suffered a stroke in 1987, Gordon was his field deputy until Kenneth retired in 1992.

Biography
Hahn was born in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, the sixth of the seven children of John and Hattie (Wiggins) Hahn. His father died when he was an infant, leaving his mother to raise the large family on a $60-per-month pension. She moved the family to a small house on Flower Street in Los Angeles, where his younger brother, Kenneth, was born.

Hahn worked his way through Pepperdine University, graduated from the United States Merchant Marine Academy and was a Naval Reserve officer during World War II.

After leaving office, he worked in the real estate business. He died of pneumonia caused by respiratory failure on March 29, 2001. Hahn was buried in Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, California.

Assembly
In 1946, at the age of 27, he was elected as a Republican in the 66th District of the California State Assembly, becoming the youngest legislator in a decade. He served three and a half terms in the Assembly, from 1947 until his resignation in 1953.

City Council
Hahn was appointed to fill the  Los Angeles City Council District 8  seat vacated by his brother, Kenneth, who had been elected to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. Gordon was elected to the council in his own right after the expiration of his brother's term and served on the council until 1963.

In 1955 District 8 included an area ". . . bordering on Huntington Park and Vernon, from Vernon Avenue to 94th Street. . . . A considerable percentage of the population is Negro; they hold that their race should have some representation in the City Council. On the other hand, left-wing Democrats, following the banner of Rep. Jimmy Roosevelt, also have a candidate in the race, which may split the Negro vote."

While he was on the council he chaired the Revenue and Taxation Committee. During an eight-day smog blanket over Los Angeles in 1954, Hahn told the Associated Press, "this thing has gone far enough, health should come before industry."

Other contests
He ran to represent California's 31st District in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1962, losing to Democrat Charles H. Wilson, 48 percent to 52 percent. In 1986, he made an unsuccessful bid for Los Angeles County Assessor.

Talk:Ai no Dai 6 Kan

=Pointless Info= Edited to reduce information not needed about the album. Perhaps put this ionformation in individual artist pages. To make things easier here is the deleted text to help re-insert somewhere it would be more helpful:

The album was released at a pivotal and transitional time for the band, as upon its release in December of 2004, it was already known that founding member Kaori Iida and another longtime member, Rika Ishikawa, would be leaving the group within three months of each other -- Iida to embark on a solo career and Ishikawa to concentrate on her new trio Viyuden.

Almost four months after the album's release, veteran member Mari Yaguchi, who had taken over Iida's leadership position in the band, suddenly resigned from the group after being photographed with a male aquaintance outside her home, feeling that she could not be an adult and still be part of the band. Ai No Dai 6 Kan would also end up being Yaguchi's last album with the group; Fortunately for fans, she will continue in music under the Hello! Project banner that houses Morning Musume and its many offshoots.

Two other popular long-time members of the band, Ai Kago and Nozomi Tsuji, had left the band earlier in the year to devote themselves to their duo W (Double You), but do appear (erroneously uncredited) on two songs released earlier in the year as singles.
 * I would hardly call this information pointless. It is there to set up the time in Morning Musume's history and is indeed directly related to the album and the making thereof.  Cjmarsicano 22:06, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I can agree with putting a lot of the information back in, but the information about Yaguchi leaving the group suddenly has nothing to do with the album in particular (because she left months after its released). I agree it should be noted that it is her final album though. And anyway, the stuff about her reason for leaving is covered in the groups page already.Sploggers 08:04, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Improvements for Character Articles
I've cleaned up the Character articles for Ikki, Kazu and Akito. I created an additional article for Sora for the following reasons:

 * He's been seen quite a lot, especially in recent chapters.
 * His backstory has been explained (though not fully, but its a start)
 * He's become a major plot advancement, and is now one of the "rivals" of Ikki.

Besides this one, would anyone be kind enough to help improve these articles? Because I'm only buying the English version of the manga when it's released, so I'm only using information I find from there. If anyone else thinks that someone else should have an article, please let's talk about it. RedEyesMetal 09:39, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Really well made, trying to add a few things myself. (See Manga Chapters and the page with the episodes) There is a website that already is at chapter 179 (Volume 19 probably). I will help out where I can, it would be awesome if we can add something about the team levels F to A. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ge4ce (talk • contribs) 17:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

JSRF
Is Air Gear in any way related to, or based of JSRF?(Jet Set Radio Future), there are many strong similarities. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.91.63.68 (talk) 21:49, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

 * No. --Chemicalist (talk) 06:15, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

 * There are quite a few thematic and style similarities, but the universes are wholly seperate and there's no overlap in characters. 24.173.88.102 (talk) 18:07, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Kings and Roads
I wanted to express my concern for the Kings and Roads section since that article seems to disappear in frequently and ends up redirecting to the main page. There's quite a bit of information on the "Kings and Roads" page, so why is it getting bypassed/redirected to the main page when that information has not been put on the main article and has been separated due to the large amount of material in that lone article? Another note, is there a way we can keep that from getting deleted since there's some important material on the page?DeadEnd3001 (talk) 00:17, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

KIJI

KIJI, (104.3 FM) currently as Boss 104.3 is a radio station based in the village of Tumon in the United States territory of Guam inside the La Casa de Colina building. it broadcasts an adult contemporary radio format from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

Radio station spins-off such as TenFour FM was sign-on from 2005 until 2012.

History
According to Pacific Daily News, the station signed on September 1, 2005, to provide news to Japanese tourists, who were currently staying on Guam. The station would also help Guam residents to learn Japanese language and culture. The branded station was FM104.

In late 2006, KIJI began programming a rhythmic-dance oldies format that they tout on-air as "Retro Radio" or "TenFour", which features classic party tunes from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. The format proved to be a favorite with listeners, resulting in KIJI going full-time with the format.

On March 5, 2012, KIJI change as Boss 104.3, the station format as Classic rock radio.

In May 2016 KIJI switched back to classic hits. In 2021, KIJI switched into AC format.

Togusa

Togusa (トグサ) is the second most prominently featured male character in Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell manga and anime series. In Stand Alone Complex, as well as the original Ghost in the Shell film, it is stated that he is the youngest member of Section 9 and the only family man. His voice is provided by Kōichi Yamadera in most of his appearances, while Hirotaka Suzuoki provides his voice in the Ghost in the Shell PlayStation game. Chin Han portrayed Togusa in the 2017 film.

Togusa has not undergone cybernetic replacement in some manner as he had been referred to as a natural (though he does have a cyberbrain). Brought to the team by Daisuke Aramaki from the Keishichō, Togusa is an asset for "his new perspective, human intuition and analytical skills for their investigation of cyborg crimes."

Conception and creation
Section 9 recruited Togusa for his excellent detective work, incorruptible idealism, and his lack of cyberization. The Major's reasoning for his inclusion was that he would add an element of variety and unpredictability to the group. He has a strong love for vintage items, preferring a Mateba revolver over more modern sidearms. In the manga, he is cybernetic like all other members.

Design
According to character designer Hajime Shimomura, he did the designs of Togusa based on him being the gentle lion. In addition, Shimomura mentions that he was hard to do since his appearance in the manga looks deformed.

Togusa is one of the few humans in Section 9 who hasn't gotten any cybernetic upgrades, and one of the few who doesn't have any military background. This makes him an interesting counterpoint to some of the other characters on the force, and offer a unique outlook. Chin Han, who played Togusa in the live action film, describes him: "Togusa is very interesting in the sense that he is the only member of the team that is wholly human and is proud of it, I think he's the last bastion of the old world. It’s reflected in his choice of weaponry, which is the Mateba revolver and of course his choice in the mullet for a hairstyle."

Background
Togusa is 27 years old, married, and the father of a young daughter. In the S.A.C. universe, he also has a son. Togusa's personality varies somewhat between the manga, movies, and series. In the manga he tends to be very emotional and plagued with feelings of failure; in the films he is savvier but still aware of his inexperience, and in the Stand Alone Complex his personality is a combination of the two. He also tends to be the most emotional and temperamental, getting so outraged at one criminal committing murder right under his nose in an episode of Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG he seriously wounded the man and ends up on trial. He seems very friendly with Batou and he was arguably the one who cracked the Laughing Man case.

His history as an uncorrupted detective is one of the reasons he was recruited (as well as his being a family man), to add an element of variety and unpredictability to the team. Togusa is also the only member of Section 9 to have not come from the military as he was from Section 1, which makes him feel somewhat insecure in his abilities at times. He is very fond of his archaic Mateba Autorevolver, opting to use it over the standard-issue Seburo M5 even in the field, citing that it cannot jam and that "six bullets is enough to get the job done", a decision which everyone inquires about occasionally.

Ghost in the Shell
Togusa is introduced in the 1995 film by Mamoru Oshii right at the beginning in a short scene in a surveillance van with Batou, but he is not identified. We get to know him later when he is driving an armored van while Major Motoko Kusanagi dons her police armor in the back. He establishes his newness to the group by asking the Major why she requested he be transferred from the police to Section 9, and the Major answers him by stating that different skills and ideas are necessary in the unit, because homogenization equals death in their line of work. Togusa's police instincts come into play later, when he suspects something untoward involving Section 6, leading up to the theft of The Puppet Master.

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
GITS2 takes place in the years after the events of the first film, featuring a cold, emotionless Batou as the lead. Togusa knows he is upset at the disappearance of Major Kusanagi and is very meek in this film.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
In Stand Alone Complex, several episodes involving an illegally used wiretap called an Interceptor refer to his background as a detective in the police force and his subsequent recruitment into Section 9. He is pretty much the only character other than Batou whose history is shown in the first season since the other members of Section 9 appear in certain episodes. Despite this background revelation, his first name has not yet been mentioned.

He is the least-augmented member of Section 9, although he can still fare well in melee combat against cyborgs. All he has is the implanted cyber-brain, just like Chief Aramaki. He is somewhat skeptical of the blurring of the lines between man and machine, but he also suffers the worst injuries due to being human. In the manga, he is injured and hospitalized after being caught near a bomb blast. In Stand Alone Complex, he's shot while doing an investigation and wonders aloud if he shouldn't be a full cyborg. When Aramaki is taken away for questioning, Togusa is arrested and detained for some time before being released; it is stated that Aramaki did this intentionally in order to keep Togusa out of immediate danger, due to his having a family and his earlier brush with death. He is later shown working at the security company that was his official cover while working for the government and is unaware of the fate of the other members for several months, effectively leaving him out of the loop because he was being monitored heavily; though such behavior from the rest of Section 9 is rather odd. Since they can hack into government records without being discovered, it is safe to presume that they would have no problem working around surveillance, and therefore should have been able to alert Togusa to the section's survival. Their failure to do so resulted in Togusa suffering a minor psychological break, attempting to assassinate one of the perpetrators in the Laughing Man case, which would have been detrimental to the protection given to him.

He expresses some disdain for the Tachikoma tanks, not to mention Batou's penchant for favoring one of the blue tanks. He dismissively refers to one of them as "just a machine", prompting outrage from the Tachikomas in the Section 9 hangar, with one calling him a bigot and another demanding a retraction of the statement. The contentious relationship continues in Second Gig, when Togusa and a Tachikoma go on a mission to abandoned Tokyo and the goofy little tank serves to mostly get under his skin (before saving it). But despite his dislike for the sentient machines, he is not above spending leisure time with them; he is seen playing Othello with one (although the Tachikoma thought they were playing 'Go' and attempts a critical stone capture, exclaiming "Checkmate", to which an exasperated Togusa replies "That's a completely different game!") near the end of an episode.

Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. Solid State Society
In the Solid State Society feature film set in the S.A.C. universe, Major Kusanagi has left Section 9 and Togusa is now the head of field operations. Section 9 has grown considerably in this film, with a staff of more than 20. He has replaced his revolver for a Seburo M-10 pistol, although he carries his revolver on a back holster and his pistol on a shoulder holster. He has also undergone some form of cyberization (though what was cyberized was not mentioned), and he has informed his family of his work in Section 9. His cyberbrain was hacked while he was trying to get his daughter to safety. To stop his body from taking his daughter to the S.S.S., he was forced to attempt suicide with his revolver, but was stopped by the Major. He later on took part in the raid of the Solid State Society in their headquarters. He took out one exoskeleton and then acted as the bodyguard for Aramaki. It is shown that because he is now the field leader of Section 9, he is unable to spend time with his family as much as he used to, reflecting the common problem in Japan of disconnection between a salaryman and their families. Togusa has discussed undergoing full cyberization with his family, in order to enhance his abilities for Section 9.

William H. Crane

William Henry Crane (April 30, 1845 – March 7, 1928) was an American actor.

Early years
Crane was born in Leicester, Massachusetts on April 30, 1845. He grew up in Boston and graduated from Brimmer School.

Career
He made his first professional appearance at Utica, New York, in Donizetti's The Daughter of the Regiment on July 13, 1865. He made his first hit in the legitimate drama with Stuart Robson in The Comedy of Errors and other Shakespearian plays. This partnership lasted for 12 years. He had successes as Le Blanc the Notary in the Victorian burlesque Evangeline (1873) and The Henrietta (1881, with Robson) by Bronson Howard. Subsequently Crane appeared in various eccentric character parts in such plays as The Senator and David Harum.

In 1904 Crane turned to more serious works and played Isidore Izard in Business is Business, an adaptation of Octave Mirbeau's Les Affaires sont les Affaires. In his 70s, Crane appeared in a number of films, notably in a reprise of his role in David Harum (1915). He also appeared in MGM's Three Wise Fools, which was revived on Turner Classic Movies and is available on home video/DVD.

Personal Life
Crane married Ella Chloe Myers in 1870, and remained married until his death. Crane was an avid yachtsman and was a founding officer of the Cohasset Yacht Club in 1894. At Crane's summer home in Cohasset (which he called the "Fishing Box" ) his long-time friend, Chicago saloonkeeper Lewis Williams debuted Cohasset Punch, a blend of rum, wine, and fruit that became very popular in Chicago for decades afterward.

Death
Crane died on March 7, 1928, at the age of 82 in the Hollywood Hotel.

Partial filmography

 * The Lamb (1915)
