Chadwicks Wexford Park

Chadwicks Wexford Park is a GAA stadium in Wexford, County Wexford, Republic of Ireland. It is the home of Wexford GAA's Gaelic football and hurling teams. After a recent development the ground has a capacity of about 18,000. It is located in the Clonard area on the outskirts of Wexford Town. In 2015 a local technology company, Innovate Business Technology, signed a deal for the naming rights to the stadium. The new name unveiled was Innovate Wexford Park. In 2020 Chadwicks builders' providers replaced Innovate as the name sponsor of the stadium.

Redevelopment
In 1997, Wexford received planning permission to redevelop Wexford Park. The redevelopment would cost IR£1 million. It was due to be completed for the National Feile Hurling Finals in 1998. However due to a long overrun, where both end terraces had yet to be constructed, in 2000 they were given an Irish National Lottery grant to cover some of the cost of the overrun. The pitch was discovered to require re-installation of the drainage system as well. The overall cost of the project was IR£3.3 million. The redeveloped stadium was opened in 2001 with a Roman Catholic gathering with a veneration of the relics of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux and it was attended by the Apistolic Nuncio to Ireland, Dr. Giuseppe Lazzarotto and the Bishop of Ferns, Brendan Comiskey.

However, by 2011 the new design of the stadium caused problems. Due to the development including continuous benches along the length of the stand rather than individual seats, it made complying with health and safety regulations difficult due to having to estimate the number of fans that could be accommodated safely. This was seen when there was a Wexford double-header of Gaelic football and hurling with empty spaces in the stands being visible, despite being sold out.

The venue’s first event under newly installed floodlights took place between Wexford and Kilkenny in the 2023 Walsh Cup.

Allifae

Allifae was an ancient town of Italy, a center of Oscan or Samnite origin, situated in the valley of the Vulturnus, at the foot of the lofty mountain group now called the Monte Matese, about 40 km northwest of Telesia, and 27 km east-northwest of Teano.

It was close to the frontiers of Campania, and is enumerated among the Campanian cities by Pliny, and by Silius Italicus but Strabo expressly calls it a Samnite city That it was so at an earlier period is certain, as we find it repeatedly mentioned in the wars of the Romans with that people. Allifae was conquered multiple times by the Romans, initially in 326 BC during the Second Samnite Wars; Livy wrote :"'Three towns fell into their hands, Allifæ, Callifæ, and Ruffrium; and the adjoining country to a great extent was, on the first arrival of the consuls, laid entirely waste' (Livy, VIII. 25)."However, the Romans lost control soon after in 310 BC:"'During these transactions in Etruria the other Consul CM. Rutilus took Allife by storm from the Samnites, and many of their forts and smaller towns were either destroyed or surrendered uninjured' (Livy, IX. 38)."The battles culminated three years later in 307 BC:"'The proconsul Quintus Fabius fought near the city Allifae a pitched battle with the army of the Samnites. The victory was complete, the enemy were driven from the field and pursued to their camp; and they could not have held the camp had there not been very little daylight left... guards were posted in the night to prevent anyone's escaping. The next day, before it was well light, they began to surrender. The Samnites among them bargained to be dismissed in their tunics; all these were sent under the yoke.The allies of the Samnites... sold into slavery, to the number of seven thousand. Those who gave themselves out for Hernic citizens were detained apart in custody, and Fabius sent them all to the senate in Rome. There an enquiry was held as to whether they had been conscripted or had fought voluntarily for the Samnites against the Romans; after which they were parceled out amongst the Latins to be guarded.' (Livy, IX. 42)"During the Second Punic War its territory was alternately traversed or occupied by the Romans and by Hannibal, but no mention is made of the town itself. Strabo speaks of it as one of the few cities of the Samnites which had survived the calamities of the Social War: and we learn from Cicero that it possessed an extensive and fertile territory in the valley of the Vulturnus, which appears to have adjoined that of Venafrum According to the Liber Coloniarum (p. 231), a colony was established there by the triumvirs, and its colonial rank, though not mentioned by Pliny, is confirmed by the evidence of inscriptions. These also attest that it continued to be a place of importance under the Roman Empire: and was adorned with many new public buildings under the reign of Hadrian.

It is placed by the Itineraries on the direct road from Rome to Beneventum by the Via Latina, at the distance of 17 miles from Teanum, and 43 from Beneventum; but the latter number is certainly too large.

The site of the Samnite city, which in the 4th century BC had a coinage of its own, is not known; the Roman town lay in what are now the comuni of Alife and Sant'Angelo d'Alife, and its walls (4th century) enclose the preserved remains of large baths (Thermae Herculis) and a theatre.

Talk:E pluribus unum

Comments
I question why there is a 'similarity' reference to 'Unity in Diversity' - the United States motto aims to make its many immigrants join one America, the European Union one has no such goal and wants to preserve the differences between the diverse groups. If there are no reasonable objections I intend to remove this line. michael talk 02:51, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

 * For many Americans, it does imply Unity in Diversity. Certainly at the time this phrase was created, there was no expectation that the 13 colonies would become culturally identical. Of course, others disagree, and see the phrase as meaning that everyone in the US should become culturally identical.--RLent (talk) 18:42, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

when I was in science class in middle school the teacher asked if we thought that America was a 'melting pot', blending different people together or a 'fruit salad', meaning different people united. We answered that we felt we were fruit salad. As an adult, I understood e pluribus unum to mean consensus of a group. Like when Representatives disagree, they ask dissenters to support the majority for the sake of unity and that is what e pluribus unum meant. I read this article and it seems to scream "the goal of America is to blend the races into one race of people".. just because a slogan might be being deliberately misinterpreted by some. I also think the current President explained e pluribus unum in racial terms recently in a speech; or he seemed to. Anyway, does not the melting-pot interpretation go against the other ideas such as 'United States' conceptually meaning separate identities, laws, culture but united for the common good of the group though our democratic system. Further, does not the alternate definition of e pluribus unum also, in fact destroy diversity? by mixing the races aren't you in fact putting an end to the different peoples, creating the same culture; I cannot believe that was ever intended to actually occur. I would appreciate educated opinion on these issues. Regardless of your answer, we are faced with the reality that average people now seem to believe e pluribus unum means to make America a melting pot, I just think we should lean the other direction as the entire worlds diversity is precious and too important to throw away. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.185.78.199 (talk) 09:14, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

'"Out of all things one, one out of all things." A variant of the phrase was used in Moretum, a poem attributed to Virgil but with the actual author unknown. In the poem text, color est e pluribus unus describes the blending of colors into one.'

Isn't this describing alternate definitions? Shouldn't it be moved to a derivations section rather than what seems to be the spot of the actual definition?

'The motto E pluribus unum "alludes to this union" between the states and federal government, as symbolized by the shield on the eagle's breast. The thirteen stripes "represent the several states all joined in one solid compact entire, supporting a Chief, which unites the whole & represents Congress." – Charles Thomson.' http://www.greatseal.com/mottoes/unum.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.32.4.51 (talk) 13:05, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

There should be a discussion of the historical fact that America was built by legal immigration with rapid assimilation -- E Pluribus Unum. Today, America is being destroyed by massive illegal immigration without assimilation -- diversity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.97.69.229 (talk) 15:37, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

"Unum" is supposed to be Capitalized.
"Unum" is supposed to be capitalized. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.18.26.15 (talk • contribs)
 * According to whom? In the original Latin, the entire thing would be capitalized (if you will), and on US coins, the whole phrase is indeed capitalized.  I suppose you could go back to the original documents introducing it as a national motto, but capitalization has always been a fluid enterprise, especially when comparing the 18th and 21st centuries.  Most importantly, AFAIK it is almost always rendered "E pubes Unum"in contemporary English usage.  Anyone else have any thoughts on this matter?  --Xyzzyva 11:05, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree that "Unum" should be capitalized: In the translation as given, the word "One" is capitalized. 75.179.5.126 06:45, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Unum - accusative case
Unum is accusative case (object of verb or preposition). It is not nominative case (unus) & so it is not the subject of the sentence, It should come at the end of the English sentence rather than at the beginning--JimWae 21:24, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, guess I forgot about neuter case, but position & intent also would put at end --JimWae 21:39, 6 May 2007 (UTC) M.  F.   N.       N.   ûnus ûna ûnum V.  ûne ûna ûnum Acc. ûnum ûnam ûnum G.  ûnius ûnius ûnius D.  ûnî ûnî ûnî Ab. ûnô ûnâ ûnô

I've only heard it (in English) as "Out of many, one." Weird that translation isn't present here. Arthurian Legend 03:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

NPOV
"However, "E Pluribus Unum" is often poorly translated to mean "One out of many" or "One from many." However, the position of the pronoun unum points to the aforementioned meaning, which refers to the unity of the disparate states of the United States."

 * You can't infer the English word order from the Latin. "E Pluribus Unum" and "Unum E Pluribus" are equivalent in Latin, and either word order in ENglish would be a reasonable translation. I agree though, that historically the phrase referred to many states forming one union. --ABehrens (talk) 03:28, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

This seems highly POV to me (who decides what qualifies as a "poor translation"?), and, frankly, I don't see much of a difference in meaning between either of those and the "aforementioned meaning". Sectori 21:16, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Moretum (salad recipe as origen of phrase)
I notice the article contains a link to Virgil's Moretum, which I understand is the first recorded use of the phrase, but this isn't mentioned in the text. I really don't know enough about the subject to add it myself, but I just thought I'd comment on it. Martin (talk) 22:26, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I concur. The trivia game Cranium says Moretum is the source but is not a sufficiently reliable source to me by itself. 12.46.32.10 (talk) 15:59, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Offensive Rubbish
"The motto means "Out of Many, One," and probably refers to the unity of the early States. Colonel Reed of Uxbridge, Massachusetts, is said to have been instrumental in having it placed on Usonian coins."

The proper name for a citizen of the United States is "American," not "Usonian" the kind of foolish edit needs to be discouraged. Fixed. Travis T. Cleveland (talk) 23:54, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * How is it offensive? Incorrect, yes, but offensive? Zazaban (talk) 00:47, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

 * It was a word pushed by Frank Lloyd Wright... AnonMoos (talk) 14:10, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

LATIN
Latin is a beautiful language. let me just tell you that the correct translation for E Pluribis Unum is One From Many. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.136.181.27 (talk) 21:07, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

E Plurbis Unum in Latin means uniteded one, or out of many. kind of a play on words.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.169.190.242 (talk) 18:04, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Pronunciation
I take issue with this sentence

Its Anglicized pronunciation is .

I don't think unum is really ever pronounced with a consonantal y sound. It's pronounced u:nəm. I would re-write it as. I'm not sure about how the pronunciation for pluribus is written. I'll leave that be. --Revolución  talk  00:45, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Discovery Channel
This claim (without citation) from the introduction strikes me as quite odd:

"A different account was put forward in the Discovery Channel program "Secret America". According to an interview with Priscilla Linn, Senior Curator, State Dept. Diplomacy, the phrase "Out of Many, One" came from a magazine called "The Gentleman's Magazine," published at the time of the revolution. Each year, the magazine would re-purpose one article from each of the year's  12 issues, publishing a standalone issue that was "Out of many, one"."

There's no citation for this program, that is, there's no pointer to a place one could actually verify this claim (on or off the web). In a quick search I couldn't turn up a transcript of the show or any other record of such an interview with Linn.

So I've moved the relevant passage here pending verification. Eedwa 01 (talk) 09:44, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

from or out of plus more for all union
Yes its possible that it was meant as E =from or out of ; pluri = plus more ; bus = for all ; unum = union  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.56.23.89 (talk) 06:07, 27 May 2010 (UTC) Wrong. "Out of many, one" has always been the correct and agreed upon translation of the 13-letter Latin motto. 2601:589:4705:C7C0:CC25:99AD:493:9246 (talk) 01:49, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

E pluribus unum = 13 letters
'Symbolically, the phrase E pluribus unum has 13 letters (as does Annuit coeptis''). This example of gematria (isopsephy) then represents the 13 colonies becoming the United States. The back of the US 2010 penny features E pluribus unum and a shield with 13 vertical stripes. The back of the US dollar includes these 13 letters among 13 symbolic references to the number 13. - p. 121, The Secret Symbols of the Dollar Bill by David Ovason (Harper Collins, 2004)'''

The ancient practice of Hebrew gematria/Greek isopsephy/Arabic abjad numerals/hisab al-jummal and modern Simple(6,74) English(7,74) Gematria(8,74) appears to primarily concentrate on the gematric sums of words/names, i.e. Ruler=74 Sargon=74 (S19+a1+r18g7+o15+n14). But this is actually 'Step 2' of gematria(74). 'Step 1' of gematria(8) is simply counting the number of letters in a word/name/phrase. Because of Roman Numerals not coinciding with their place in the Latin Alphabet, i.e. I does not = 1, Latin gematria never gave much importance to Step 2 of gematric sum. But the learned Romans and other learned practioners of Latin did recognize Step 1 of counting the Latin letters and giving significance to it. This practice can be traced back to Plato's (Pythagoreans') use of "God is ever a geometer", which in Greek ἀεὶ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ μέγας γεωμετρεῖ equals 3,1,4,1,5,9 or 3.14159 π pi. - Brad Watson, Miami, FL 64.136.26.22 (talk) 12:08, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

 * This section is extremely odd. It's meaningless information without it being an intentional symbol and it's not made clear that it was intentional symbology initially. It's extremely difficult to check the reference cited to verify the academic validity (and something tells me the author is inferring a lot here). If it wasn't intentional (in a verifiable manner), then it shouldn't be included in this entry. If it was intentional, then this section should be cleaned up to reflect that fact as it's focal point. It just sounds like inference right now. Can someone please check on this that has access to that book and check its academic authenticity? 71.195.176.45 (talk) 07:41, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

The Great Seal of the United States Committee formed on July 4, 1776 was led by Benjamin Franklin Grand Master Mason (Freemasonry) of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. Along with John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, they promoted a Great Seal with the 13 shields of the 13 States with the 13-letter motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM". This significance of the 13-letter motto is also referred to in Manly P. Hall's The Secret Teachings of All Ages - An Encyclopedia of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic and Rosicrucian Symbolic Philosophy (Philosophical Research Society, 1928 [1972]), page XC. 76.18.14.85 (talk) 23:45, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

In God We Trust?
Why is there so much information about In God We Trust? Having God as part of American symbolism is a hotly-debated topic. It's barely related to E pluribus unum. 188.102.8.58 (talk) 18:00, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Are you an atheist? Wikipedia is very agenda driven. The US Founding Fathers all believed in GOD. E pluribus Unum also applies to Out of many gods, One GOD. Annuit coeptis is also a 13-letter motto with a direct reference to GOD. "IN GOD WE TRUST" is a 12-letter motto that would be better if tweaked to "IN 1 GOD WE TRUST"(13). 2601:589:4705:C7C0:CC25:99AD:493:9246 (talk) 01:41, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Classical Latin translation
Assuming this ought to be translated according to the rules of Classical Latin, the translation should really be "One of Many. This is an idiomatic usage commonly attested, and I think it could be considered more correct although less literal. "Of" usually denotes the genitive case in Latin, but this is a different situation, more like the phrase "one of the boys is good" (in Latin, E pueris unus bonus est). Is this worth noting within the article? Most verily, 'tis Metaknowledge! 02:54, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson all knew the 13-letter Latin motto, 'E pluribus Unum' meant "Out of many, one." Any other translation is wrong and 240 years after the fact. 2601:589:4705:C7C0:CC25:99AD:493:9246 (talk) 01:45, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Latin IPA
I see that the Latin pronuncation is provided as [ˈeː ˈpluːrɪbʊs ˈuːnũː] which in the sense that the final [m] is omitted/nasalizes the previous vowel when  the text continues, but here unum is phrase final position, so omitting it does not make sense. ImreK (talk) 15:54, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

The Meaning section contains weasel wording and a flimsy citation
Here is the Meaning section as it stands now:

 * The traditionally understood meaning of the phrase was that out of many states (or colonies) emerges a single nation. However, in recent years its meaning has come to suggest that out of many peoples, races, religions, languages, and ancestries has emerged a single people and nation—illustrating the concept of the melting pot.[7]

Despite the {WP:NPOV} made thus far regarding this page, this paragraph in particular seems to have a book centric to ethnic diversity and discrimination as its sole citation. Further, the following is a perfect example of wikipedian weasel wording {WP:WEASEL}:

 * However, in recent years its meaning has come to suggest[...]

^^^^which is extremely weak.Tgm1024 (talk) 21:21, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Meaning section: STILL the same weasel wording, and further, the cited source is an opinion piece in Time Magaine.
Whomever you are, if you're going to reverse my edit that removed the "melting pot" crap that ended up in the Meaning section, then come here and supply your reasons for keeping it.

That article in Time magazine was an editorial musing and cannot hold muster against the prior citation which contradicts it. Now if you do feel that "E pluribus unum" somehow is this melting pot nonsense, then please make your case here. And for GOD'S SAKE don't use crap language like "recent times" again.Tgm1024 (talk) 01:32, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Villard-de-Lans

Villard-de-Lans (, literally Villard of Lans; Lo Vilar de Lanç) is a commune in the Isère department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in southeastern France. The town is also situated in the Vercors Massif. It was the administrative centre of the eponymous canton until the departmental elections of 2015. After the elections, Villard-de-Lans and the communes of its former canton were all incorporated into the new canton of Fontaine-Vercors. The town remains the seat of the Community of Communes in the Vercors Massif (CCMV).

The town is a centre for skiing in winter, as well as hiking and hot air ballooning during the other seasons. It is also the town with the largest amount of available lodging in the entire Vercors Regional Natural Park.

History
Starting in 1906, the town of Villard-de-Lans was recognized as a ski resort. More facilities were built during the 1920s that allowed the town to host its first bobsled and luge competition in 1931.

For over a decade, the town was connected to the prefecture centre of Grenoble by a tram called the Tramway Grenoble - Villard-de-Lans. The tram, which also serviced the towns of Lans-en-Vercors and Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte, had completely seized operations by 1949.

World War II
During World War II, Villard-de-Lans was host to the only Polish high school in Occupied Europe. There is a plaque on the old building memorializing the names of the numerous students and teachers who were deported to camps by the occupying force during the war.

The region was home to several thousand Poles, people in hiding, military defectors and evaders, as well as members of the French Resistance. Due to these circumstances, and its proximity to Grenoble, the historically rural and mountainous commune of Villar-de-Lans became a refuge for the resistance against the German occupation and led to the formation of the Maquis du Vercors, a group of fighters that were part of the French Forces of the Interior.

After the war, Charles de Gaulle paid homage to the fighters of the Vercors by visiting Villard-de-Lans in 1948. During his visit, de Gaulle gave a speech in which he tried to discuss the controversy, which was still very strong at the time, vis-à-vis the attitude of Free France's leader and allies regarding the Maquis du Vercors.

1968 Winter Olympics
During the 1968 Winter Olympics held in neighbouring Grenoble, Villard-de-Lans played host to the luge events.

Allocatur

In law, allocatur (from med. Lat. allocatur, "it is allowed") refers to the allowance of a writ or other pleading. It may also designate a certificate given by a taxing master, at the termination of an action, for the allowance of costs.

The 1910 Black's Law Dictionary (Second Edition) described it as: "A word formerly used to denote that a writ or order was allowed", as well as a word "denoting the allowance by a master or prothonotary of a bill referred for his consideration, whether touching costs, damages, or matter of account". The dictionary also defined a "Special allocatur" as the "special allowance of a writ (particularly a writ of error) which is required in some particular cases" and an "Allocatur exigent" as a kind of writ "anciently issued in outlawry proceedings, on the return of the original writ of exigent".

Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania courts, the term is still commonly used to denote permission for an appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, even though the procedure for obtaining discretionary review in the court is now called a petition for allowance of appeal. See Pennsylvania Rule of Appellate Procedure 1112. In most other American courts, the term certiorari is used.

Bar mleczny

A bar mleczny (literally translated as "milk bar" from Polish) is a Polish cafeteria which during the Communist era provided government-subsidized traditional Polish cuisine at low cost. The name comes from cheese cutlets, which were often sold when meat was rare.

History
The first milk bar, called "Mleczarnia Nadświdrzańska," was established in 1896 in Warsaw by Stanisław Dłużewski, a member of the Polish landed gentry. Although the typical bar mleczny had a menu based on dairy items, these establishments generally served other, non-dairy traditional Polish dishes as well.

The commercial success of the first milk bars encouraged other businessmen to copy this type of restaurant. As Poland regained its independence after World War I, milk bars appeared across most of the country. They offered relatively cheap but nourishing food, and thus achieved even more prominence during the economic depression of the 1930s and World War II.

After the fall of the Nazi regime, Poland became a communist state in the Eastern Bloc. Contrary to official propaganda, the majority of the population was poor, and even moderately-priced restaurants were derided as "capitalist". During the post-war years, most restaurants were nationalized and then closed down by the communist authorities.

In 1959, the concept was copied by Communist Yugoslavia, with the first mlečni restoran in Belgrade "Atina" opened on September 10.

In the mid-1960s, milk bars were common as a means of offering cheap meals to people working in companies that had no official canteen. They still served mostly dairy-based and vegetarian meals, especially during the period of martial law in the early 1980s, when meat was rationed. The prevalent idea at that time was to provide all people with cheap meals at the place of their employment. At times, the price of the meals served in the workplace canteens was included in a worker's salary. However, there was also a large number of people working in smaller firms that had no canteen at their disposal. Because of this, during the tenure of Władysław Gomułka, the authorities created a network of small self-service eateries. The meals, subsidized by the state, were cheap and easily available to anyone.

Apart from raw or processed dairy products, milk bars also served egg (omelets or egg cutlets), cereal or flour-based meals such as pierogi. After the fall of the communist system and the end of the centrally planned economy, the majority of milk bars went bankrupt, as they were superseded by regular restaurants. However, some of them were preserved as relics of the communist era welfare state to support the poorer members of Polish society.

In the early 2010s, milk bars began to make a comeback. They became small, inexpensive restaurants that took advantage of PRL nostalgia, while providing good quality food and customer service. Due to their good locations, milk bars often fall victim to gentrification and are defended by activist groups. Today milk bars are privately owned, but partly subsidized by the state, which allows it to offer low prices.

Ada "Bricktop" Smith

Ada Beatrice Queen Victoria Louise Virginia Smith (August 14, 1894 – February 1, 1984), better known as Bricktop, was an American dancer, jazz singer, vaudevillian, and self-described saloon-keeper who owned the famous nightclub "Chez Bricktop" in Paris from 1924 to 1961, as well as clubs in Mexico City and Rome.

She has been called "one of the most legendary and enduring figures of twentieth-century American cultural history".

Childhood
Smith was born in Alderson, West Virginia, the youngest of four children by a Black father and a mixed-race mother, who had been born into slavery two years before the Emancipation Proclamation. Her grandfather was likely her mother's Irish-American enslaver. When her father died, her family relocated to Chicago, and she was raised there for her greater youth. It was there that saloon life caught her fancy, and where she acquired her nickname, "Bricktop," for the flaming red hair and freckles inherited from her grandfather.

Theater and performance
She began performing when she was very young, and by 16, she was touring with T.O.B.A. (Theatre Owners' Booking Association) and on the Pantages vaudeville circuit. Aged 20, her performance tours brought her to New York City. While at Barron's Exclusive Club, a nightspot in Harlem, she put in a good word for a band called Elmer Snowden's Washingtonians, and the club booked them. One of its members was Duke Ellington.

She was an excellent dancer. Her first meeting with Cole Porter is described in her obituary in the Huntington (West Virginia) Herald-Dispatch:"Porter once walked into the cabaret and ordered a bottle of wine. 'Little girl, can you do the Charleston?' he asked. Yes, she said. And when she demonstrated the new dance, he exclaimed, 'What legs! What legs!'"

Bricktop continued to perform as a cabaret entertainer well into her eighties, including some engagements at the age of 84 in London, where she proved herself to be as professional and feisty as she had ever been, and included Cole Porter's "Love for Sale" in her repertoire.

Cafe society
By 1924, she was in Paris. Cole Porter hosted many parties, "lovely parties" as Bricktop called them, where he hired her as an entertainer, often to teach his guests the latest dance craze such as the Charleston and the Black Bottom. At age 28, Smith was invited to sing at the Montmartre club Le Grand Duc owned by Eugène Bullard. There, she befriended Langston Hughes, a then-struggling poet who worked alongside her as a dishwasher and busboy.

Known for her signature cigars, the "doyenne of cafe society" drew many celebrated figures to her club, including Cole Porter, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald mentions the club in his 1931 short story "Babylon Revisited." Her protégés included Duke Ellington, Mabel Mercer, and Josephine Baker. The Cole Porter song "Miss Otis Regrets" was written especially for her to perform. Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli wrote a song called "Brick Top," which they recorded in Paris in 1937 and in Rome in 1949.

Chez Bricktop and other clubs
In Paris, Bricktop began operating the clubs where she performed, including The Music Box and Le Grand Duc. She called her next club "Chez Bricktop," and in 1929 she relocated it to 66 rue Pigalle. Her headliner was a young Mabel Mercer, who was to become a legend in cabaret. During World War II, she closed Chez Bricktop and moved to Mexico City, where she opened a new nightclub in 1944.

In 1949, she returned to Europe and started a club in Rome called "Roman Chez Bricktop" located on the Via Veneto where she entertained famous guests including Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Shortly after moving to Rome, Bricktop received a call from the first secretary, Amin, to the abdicated King Farouk. According to Bricktop, when Amin asked for her to visit, she said, "I'm not drinking. I'm on a novena," to which he responded with, "We're not drinking either, but we're with everybody here at the hotel. They're all talking about you, and my king wants to meet the woman who makes everyone scream when she walks through the door."

King Farouk and Bricktop had a friendship for many years. Farouk would bring Bricktop gifts from his travels like bottles of perfume and cigars. After King Farouk fired Amin, he didn't want Bricktop to have anything to do with his former secretary. Bricktop told Farouk, "Majesty, I didn't even allow my own mother to choose my friends for me." At that point, King Farouk stopped coming to the club and Bricktop never saw him again.

John Steinbeck was once thrown out of her club for "ungentlemanly behavior." He regained her affection by sending a taxi full of roses.

Bricktop closed her club and retired in 1961 at the age of 67, saying: "I'm tired, honey. Tired of staying up all night." Afterwards, she moved back to the United States.

Film, music and radio
Bricktop appeared in the 1974 Michael Schultz's film Honeybaby, Honeybaby, in which she played herself, operating a "Bricktop's" in Beirut, Lebanon. She made a brief cameo appearance as herself in Woody Allen's 1983 mockumentary film Zelig, in which she "reminisced" about a visit by Leonard Zelig to her club, and an unsuccessful attempt by Cole Porter to find a rhyme for "You're the tops, you're Leonard Zelig."

In 1972, Bricktop made a recording of "So Long Baby", with Cy Coleman. She also recorded a few Cole Porter songs in New York City at the end of the seventies with pianist Dorothy Donegan. The session was directed by Otis Blackwell and produced by Jack Jordan on behalf of the Sweet Box Company. The songs recorded were "Love For Sale," "Miss Otis Regrets," "Happiness Is a Thing Called Joe," "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," "Am I Blue?," and "He's Funny That Way." This recording has not been released. She preferred not to be called a singer or dancer, but rather a performer.

Bricktop broadcast a radio program in Paris from 1938 to 1939, for the French government.

Activism
Bricktop was a dedicated life member of the NAACP. She traveled to the national office to present the executive director with a $500 cheque to place her membership.

Published works
She wrote her autobiography, Bricktop by Bricktop, with the help of James Haskins, a prolific author who wrote biographies of Thurgood Marshall and Rosa Parks. It was published in 1983 by Welcome Rain Publishers (ISBN 0-689-11349-8).

Marriage and relationships
She married saxophonist Peter DuCongé in 1929. Though they separated after a few years, they never divorced, Bricktop later saying that "as a Catholic I do not recognize divorce". According to Jean-Claude Baker, one of Josephine Baker's children, as recorded in his book about his mother's life, titled Josephine: The Hungry Heart, Baker and Bricktop were involved in an intimate affair for a time, early in their careers.

Bricktop had a professional relationship with Maya Angelou, which Angelou writes about in her book Singin' and Swingin' and Gettin' Merry Like Christmas. Angelou worked at Bricktop's for a time as a singer, though Bricktop nearly turned her away at the door at their first meeting, as she had a rule against allowing unescorted women into her club.

While in Rome, Bricktop befriended The Duke of Windsor. After being a big fan of hers since the early '30s, he visited her in Rome, asking her: "Brick, where were you born?" She told him West Virginia. The Duke responded with "That's just what I told the Duchess when we were in Hot Springs. I said to the Duchess: 'You know, Bricktop was born around here somewhere!'"

Death
Bricktop died in her sleep at her apartment in Manhattan in 1984, aged 89. She remained active into her old age and according to James Haskins, had talked to friends on the phone hours before her death. She is interred in the Zinnia Plot (Range 32, Grave 74) at Woodlawn Cemetery.

Legacy
Bricktop had planned on creating a film centered around her life. Both Lena Horne and Dorothy Dandridge were up to play Bricktop, though she preferred Pearl Bailey. Bricktop commented that Bailey is "more familiar with my life" and that Dandrige "can't go the way I used to go at her age."

Allonge

An allonge (from French allonger, "to draw out") is a slip of paper affixed to a negotiable instrument, as a bill of exchange, for the purpose of receiving additional endorsements for which there may not be sufficient space on the bill itself. An endorsement written on the allonge is deemed to be written on the bill itself. An allonge is more usually met with in countries using the Napoleonic Code, as the code requires every endorsement to express the consideration. Under English law, the simple signature of the endorser on the bill, without additional words, is sufficient to operate as a negotiation and so an allonge is seldom necessary.

Other uses

 * Allonge
 * In chemistry, an allonge is a dated French term for a separatory column.
 * In hairdressing, an allonge is a wig with locks of hair reaching to the shoulders.

 * Allongé
 * In coffee preparation, a café allongé is a 'long' (drawn out) espresso shot, known as a caffè lungo in Italian.
 * In dressage, an allongé is a long rein used for working a horse, or an extended trot.
 * In fencing, an allongé is a thrust or pass at the enemy.

St Jarlath's Park

St Jarlath's Park (Páirc Iarflaith Naofa, commonly known as Tuam Stadium) is a GAA stadium in Tuam, County Galway, Ireland. It is one of the principal stadiums of Galway GAA's football teams. The ground once had a capacity of around 26,000. This has progressively been reduced for safety reasons and has most recently been reduced to 6,700.

The official opening of the stadium took place on 21 May 1950. It was blessed and officially opened by the Archbishop of Tuam, Rev. Dr Walsh. The stadium opened with two games, one between Cavan and Mayo and the other between Galway and Dublin.

Almah (Egyptian dancer)

Almah or Almeh (عالمة ʕálma, plural ʕawālim عوالم , from Arabic: علم ʻālima "to know, be learned") was the name of a class of courtesans or female entertainers in Egypt, women educated to sing and recite classical poetry and to discourse wittily. They were educated girls of good social standing, trained in dancing, singing and poetry, present at festivals and entertainments, and hired as mourners at funerals.

The Awalim were first introduced as singers, not dancers-cum-prostitutes, according to Edward William Lane's book, Manner and Costumes of modern Egyptians. Lane additionally wrote that the Almah didn't display herself at all, but sang from behind a screen or from another room at weddings and other respectable festivities. Consequently, the Awalem were not subject to exile in Upper Egypt.

In the 19th century, almeh came to be used as a synonym to all the erotic local dancers who usually came from very poor backgrounds and sometimes contributed in sexual acts in return of money, hence why the traditional erotic dancers of Egypt got all their performances banned in 1834, because they were considered "unclassy". As a result of the ban, all the dancers in modern Egypt became Awalim, which was officially classified as a legal occupation in Egypt. Transliterated into French as almée, the term came to be synonymous with "belly dancer" in European Orientalism of the 19th Century.

Awalim
From the last decades of the 19th century until the 1920s, there were some of the most notable and last "awalim" of Egypt:

 * Shooq
 * Bamba Kashar
 * Chafika Al Qebtiya
 * Mounira Al Mahdiya
 * Badia Masabni
 * Beba Ibrahim
 * Nabawiya Al Masryia

Carmen McRae

Carmen Mercedes McRae (April 8, 1920 – November 10, 1994) was an American jazz singer. She is considered one of the most influential jazz vocalists of the 20th century and is remembered for her behind-the-beat phrasing and ironic interpretation of lyrics.

Early life and education
McRae was born in Harlem, New York City, United States. Her father, Osmond, and mother, Evadne (Gayle) McRae, were immigrants from Jamaica. She began studying piano when she was eight, and the music of jazz greats such as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington filled her home. When she was 17 years old, she met singer Billie Holiday. As a teenager McRae came to the attention of Teddy Wilson and his wife, the composer Irene Kitchings. One of McRae's early songs, "Dream of Life", was, through their influence, recorded in 1939 by Wilson's long-time collaborator Billie Holiday. McRae considered Holiday to be her primary influence.

Early career
In her late teens and early twenties, McRae played piano at Minton's Playhouse, sang as a chorus girl, and worked as a secretary. It was at Minton's where she met trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, bassist Oscar Pettiford, and drummer Kenny Clarke, had her first important job as a pianist with Benny Carter's big band (1944), worked with Count Basie (1944) and under the name "Carmen Clarke" (having married Clarke) made her first recording as pianist with the Mercer Ellington Band (1946–47). But it was while working in Brooklyn that she came to the attention of Decca's Milt Gabler. Her five-year association with Decca yielded 12 LPs.

Chicago interlude
In 1948, she moved to Chicago with comedian and impressionist George Kirby, with whom she had fallen in love. At the end of the relationship, she worked as a pianist and singer at the Archway Lounge. She played piano steadily for almost four years at a number of clubs in Chicago before returning to New York in 1952. In Chicago she developed her own specific style. Those years in Chicago, McRae told Jazz Forum, "gave me whatever it is that I have now. That's the most prominent schooling I ever had."

Return to New York
Back in New York in the early 1950s, McRae got the record contract that launched her career. She was voted best new female vocalist of 1954 by DownBeat magazine. MacRae married twice: to drummer Kenny Clarke from 1944 to 1956, though they separated in 1948; and to bassist Ike Isaacs from 1956 to 1967. Both marriages ended in divorce.

Among her most interesting recording projects were Mad About The Man (1957) with composer Noël Coward, Boy Meets Girl (1957) with Sammy Davis, Jr., participating in Dave Brubeck's The Real Ambassadors (1961) with Louis Armstrong, a tribute album You're Lookin' at Me (A Collection of Nat King Cole Songs) (1983), cutting an album of live duets with Betty Carter, The Carmen McRae-Betty Carter Duets (1987), being accompanied by Dave Brubeck and George Shearing, and closing her career with tributes to Thelonious Monk, Carmen Sings Monk (1990), and Sarah Vaughan, Sarah: Dedicated to You (1991).

As a result of her early friendship with Billie Holiday, she never performed without singing at least one song associated with "Lady Day", and she recorded an album in 1983 in her honor entitled For Lady Day, which was released in 1995, with songs including "Good Morning Heartache", "Them There Eyes", "Lover Man", "God Bless the Child" and "Don't Explain". McRae also recorded with some of the world's best jazz musicians in albums such as Take Five Live (1961) with Dave Brubeck, Two for the Road (1980) with George Shearing, and Heat Wave (1982) with Cal Tjader. The latter two albums were part of a notable eight-year relationship with Concord Jazz.

Performances
McRae sang in jazz clubs throughout the United States—and across the world—for more than fifty years. She was a popular performer at the Monterey Jazz Festival (1961–63, 1966, 1971, 1973, 1982), performing with Duke Ellington's orchestra at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 1980, singing "Don't Get Around Much Anymore", and at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1989. She left New York for Southern California in the late 1960s, but appeared in New York regularly, usually at the Blue Note, where she performed two engagements a year through most of the 1980s. In May–June 1988, she collaborated with Harry Connick Jr. on the song "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone" (S. Clare & S. Stept) in New York City at the RCA Studios, for Connick's debut album, 20. She withdrew from public performance in May 1991 after an episode of respiratory failure only hours after she completed an engagement at the Blue Note jazz club in New York.

Death
On November 10, 1994, McRae died at her home in Beverly Hills, California, at the age of 74. She had fallen into a semi-coma four days earlier, a month after being hospitalized for a stroke.

Talk:Burn card

Opening comment
I thought the burn card was kept separate and not in the discard pile, I could be wrong. Timdowd 12:32, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

 * In poker, burns are typically kept separate from discards in most games (including stud and holdem).

How is this a stub? It seems like a complete, useful article to me, which just happens to be a single paragraph. Anything more would be fluff. 24.7.186.74 20:33, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

I already once removed a sentence saying that burn cards can deter card counters in blackjack, and I found another sentence to this effect added back in. If somebody can demonstrate how burning a card deters card counters, fine. Until then, I will continue to believe a burn card has no effect and it would be the same as if the burned card had simply been at the bottom of the deck instead. - furrykef (Talk at me) 08:49, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

 * You're exactly right--burn cards are no different from unknown cards at the bottom of the deck/shoe; but this does deter counters because it has the same effect as moving the cut card up higher in the deck, reducing penetration and causing the dealer to shuffle more often. --LDC 23:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, just wondering if for example with two players head to head and all in with their cards turned over, is it okay to just burn the first card and then put five cards face up without any more burns even if normally (ie. when all players are not all in and there will be betting rounds between the flop the turn and the river), burns are made after the flop and the river? Dylanjbyrne 20:55, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Burns are taken as normal, even though they aren't really serving their normal purpose in this case as you point out. It is done this way so that all the board cards won't change from what they would have been in any case.  --LDC 23:38, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Online poker and burn cards
Perhaps a sentence or two should be added about the behavior of online poker sites. Of those I've checked which have an FAQ that talks about burn cards, all of them state that they do not burn cards. Of course, the purpose of burning cards is completely obviated in the case of online poker. Burning cards would serve no purpose other than to further perturb the random number generator that shuffles the deck to begin with. Nsayer (talk) 22:15, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

"Burn and bury"
I thot i had read of "burn [expose to all present] and bury [in the center of the deck]" (immediately after shuffling at the start of a hand) in a WII-era paperback Hoyle. Was that instead perhaps just a Bethesda and/or military variant? (And while on the subject, does anyone else remember decks of cards with silhouettes of enemy aircraft and their US-military standard names taking up most of the space of the face of each card? I'm thinking they had an identical Pepsi ad on the back of each card... probably showing a female officer or USO worker enjoying, hmmm ... some cold drink or other in those top-heavy fountain glasses.) --Jerzy•t 00:27, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Ooh, ooh! No Pepsi, Coke, and she's a nurse, which probably didn't make her an officer! --Jerzy•t 00:46, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Planet Magazine

Planet Magazine is a free American online fantasy and science fiction magazine by emerging writers and digital artists. It was one of the first illustrated SF publications on the Internet, and has been continuously published since the January–March issue of 1994.

History
Planet was originally published as a quarterly e-zine (electronic magazine) in plain text, DOCMaker (Macintosh only), and later Adobe Acrobat 1.0 formats, the latter two using full color and illustrations. Issues were posted on CompuServe, AOL, eWorld, and various Bulletin Board Services (BBSes). It converted to a webzine (HTML) format in mid-1996 and began using the planetmag.com and planetmagazine.com domain names, originally hosted at GeoCities.com. By about 1997, Planet began using Etext.org as a webhost. In August 2004, Planet moved to a weblog (blog, or maybe "blogzine") format, when it also changed from a quarterly publishing schedule to a more frequent basis. Several issues of Planet have been converted to Palm PDA format.

Blurb
The blurb from the original Planet website: "Planet is the free, award-winning and groundbreaking electronic magazine of short science fiction and fantasy by emerging writers and illustrators. Our goal is to encourage authors and artists and to just have fun. There could be other, hidden aims, of course, motivations that are obscure and uncomfortable, instincts linked perhaps to primal, nonreasoning urges regarding power and procreation — the very same forces, no doubt, that brought down the Atlanteans and their alabaster-towered oceanic empire. And the Dark Gods laffed...."

Almendralejo

Almendralejo is a town in the Province of Badajoz, Extremadura, Spain. It is situated 45 km south-east of Badajoz, on the main road and rail route between Mérida and Seville. , it has a population of 33,975. It was the site of a battle and massacre in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War.

Historical overview
The beautiful large silver Missorium of Theodosius I, one of the best surviving examples of Late Antique Imperial imagery, was found here indicating that an important late ancient Roman site must be in the vicinity.

The "Albero de ferria" at Almendralejo, constructed in 1747, was one of the earliest examples of a large scale hydropower dam. It was 122 m long and 19.5 m high. It was a rubble-masonry structure and had several buttresses to strengthen it. Some of these were roofed over to house a mill and it was the first dam to contain a water wheel actually within its structure.

There was a battle and massacre here in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War.

The future Queen Letizia of Spain married Alonso Guerrero Pérez, a writer and teacher in Almendralejo in 1998. The marriage was dissolved by divorce in 1999.

Geography
Almendralejo is situated about 45 km to the southeast of Badajoz on the railway line between Seville and Mérida. It is to the south of the River Guadiana on an extensive plain, with the slightly raised area to the south being known as the Tierra de Barros. The town grew rapidly at the end of the nineteenth century as the roads and railways were developed. It has broad streets and handsome buildings. The economy is centred on agriculture with extensive cultivation of cereals, fruit and grapes. There are many vineyards around the town, with a local red wine being produced, and the area is also known for the production of brandy.

Culture
Notable historical buildings of Almendralejo include the church of the Purification, the Iglesia Parroquial de Nuestra Señora de la Purificación, finished in 1515, in Gothic style. It has a well-proportioned tower and a seventeenth century retablo (devotional painting). The Palacio del Marqués de Monsalud is a seventeenth century building now used as council offices. The building surrounds a central courtyard, and on the ground floor there are arches mounted on pink granite columns, and a pedestal decorated with eighteenth century Seville tiles; on the first floor there is a red ceramic balustrade supported by small granite columns with arches. It was the birthplace of the revolutionary poet José de Espronceda, and houses a museum of Roman antiquities found in the region.

Carolina Coronado (full name: Victoria Carolina Coronado y Romero de Tejada) (12 December 1820 – 15 January 1911) was a Spanish writer, famous for her poetry, considered the equivalent of contemporary Romantic authors like Rosalía de Castro. As one of the most well-known poets writing in mid-19th-century Spain, she also played a diplomatic role (she was married to Horatio Perry, the American Secretary of the U.S. Legation in Madrid.) She both negotiated with the Spanish royal family in private and, through a series of widely published poems, promoted the aims of the Lincoln administration, especially abolition of slavery.

Demographics
The graph below shows the change in population since 1842.

Sport
CF Extremadura represented the town in domestic football competitions. Founded in 1924, they reached their peak in 1996 when they secured promotion for the 1996–97 La Liga season for the first time in their history. After relegation at the end of their inaugural season in La Liga, the club returned to the top division for the 1998–99 season, again failing to stay in the top division. Following several years of financial problems, the club folded eventually in 2010.

In 2007, another football club known as Extremadura UD was founded as a continuation of the financially struggling previous club. As of 2018, Extremadura UD are playing in the Segunda División (the second level of the Spanish football league system). With a capacity of 11,580 seats, Estadio Francisco de la Hera is the home ground of the club.

Talk:Interleave sequence

Difficulty w/ second case
Isn't there a difficulty with the second case? Where a decimal ends with recurring 9's, or 0's (i.e. certain rationals with non-unique decimal expansion), it is less than obvious that the interleaving with something else is well-defined? Charles Matthews 20:38, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * One way of fixing this is to just make a once-and-for-all decision that (say) all expansions end in 0 recurring in preference to 9 recurring. Then you get a well-defined injection. This should probably be mentioned in the article somehow, but I can't think of a good way of putting it at present. Algebraist 14:47, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Subsequences and real analysis
This article needs to be better connected to better-developed articles in real analysis, such as Sequence and Limit of a sequence. The first bullet point is a rather trivial consequence of the basic fact that all convergent subsequences of a convergent sequence have the same limit; and it would be best if readers who stumbled here first were able to discover the wider context.

A more aggressive reform would be fixing Subsequence and merging this article there. But I don't know how to start there. --Dnavarro (talk) 13:38, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

NBR K Class

The NBR K Class is a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotive of the North British Railway. The first batch (later LNER Class D26) was designed by Matthew Holmes in 1902 and had 6 ft driving wheels for express passenger work. Three more batches (later LNER Classes D32, D33, and D34) were designed by William P. Reid with 6 ft driving wheels for mixed traffic work. This included perishable goods, such as fish from Mallaig and Aberdeen. They had inside cylinders and Stephenson valve gear. The D34 locomotives, commonly known as Glen Class, were built with superheaters. The LNER later fitted superheaters to all D26, D32, and D33 engines as well. All engines of the K class are sometimes known as Glen Class, although the designation is strictly reserved to the fourth (D34) batch.

LNER classes
The LNER divided the NBR K class into four classes, as below. It was common practice for the North British Railway to assign similar engines to the same class group, whereas the LNER system allowed only identical engines to bear the same class designation.

LNER Class D26
Twelve engines ordered in March 1902 and built at Cowlairs railway works in 1903. Three were withdrawn in 1922, leaving nine to enter LNER ownership in 1923. These nine had all been withdrawn by July 1926.

LNER Class D32
Twelve engines ordered in 1905 and built at Cowlairs in 1906–07. The LNER began to fit superheated boilers in 1923 and classified the superheated locomotives D32/2. The non-superheated locomotives were classified D32/1.

LNER Class D33
Twelve engines built at Cowlairs in 1909–10. The LNER fitted superheaters to all the D33s between 1925 and 1936.

LNER Class D34
Ten engines built at Cowlairs in 1913. Twenty-two engines built between 1917 and 1920. All the D34s were built with superheaters. They are known as the Glen Class, as all engines in the group were named after Scottish glens.

Post-NBR
The locomotives passed to the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) in 1923 and, some of them, to British Railways (BR) in 1948. BR numbers were:

 * D32, five locomotives, 62445-62454 (with gaps)
 * D33, nine locomotives, 62455-62466 (with gaps)
 * D34, thirty locomotives, 62467-62498 (with gaps)

Accidents and incidents

 * On 28 December 1906, locomotive No. 324 was hauling an express passenger train that was in a rear-end collision with a passenger train at Elliot Junction, Forfarshire. Twenty-two people were killed and eight were injured.

Names
The D34s were named after Scottish Glens:

 * 62467 Glenfinnan
 * 62468 Glen Orchy
 * 62469 Glen Douglas
 * 62470 Glen Roy
 * 62471 Glen Falloch
 * 62472 Glen Nevis
 * 62473 Glen Spean
 * 62474 Glen Croe
 * 62475 Glen Beasdale
 * 62476 Glen Sloy
 * 62477 Glen Dochart
 * 62478 Glen Quoich
 * 62479 Glen Sheil
 * 62480 Glen Fruin
 * 62481 Glen Ogle
 * 62482 Glen Mamie
 * 62483 Glen Garry
 * 62484 Glen Lyon
 * 62485 Glen Murran
 * (62486 Glen Gyle)
 * 62487 Glen Arklet
 * 62488 Glen Aladale
 * 62489 Glen Dessary
 * 62490 Glen Fintaig
 * (62491 Glen Cona)
 * 62492 Glen Garvin
 * 62493 Glen Gloy
 * 62494 Glen Gour
 * 62495 Glen Luss
 * 62496 Glen Loy
 * 62497 Glen Mallie
 * 62498 Glen Moidart

No. 62494 was originally named Glen Gau, but since no glen of that name exists, it was renamed in July 1925, becoming Glen Gour. Locomotives shown in brackets were withdrawn before Nationalisation.

Railway Roundabout
In May 1959, the two cameramen of Railway Roundabout, Patrick Whitehouse and John Adams, visited the West Highland Line in Mallaig, and arranged a filming special taking place on a double-headed train from Glasgow Queen Street to Fort William. The two engines used, nos. 62496 Glen Loy and 62471 Glen Falloch were cleaned up and were in immaculate condition for the cameras. Photographs of the trip in color show Glen Loy and Glen Falloch with red smokebox numberplates and red siderods. The filming special had taken place over several days and used three runs of the trip in the process. The first trip saw a Southern Railway luggage van behind the engine hauling the train, Glen Falloch, and many lineside shots were possible. Filming on the third train showed a view from the back of the train approaching Rannoch. When the film was ready for broadcasting, it was entitled Two Glens to Fort William and was broadcast on December 8, 1959.

This film, along with 100 others, were purchased from Patrick Whitehouse and John Adams by the National Railway Museum and can still be seen today in the National Railway Museum at York.

Preservation
Withdrawals began in 1946 and all the D34s had been withdrawn by 1961. One, 256 Glen Douglas (BR number 62469) has been preserved by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society. It is now on display at the Riverside Museum in Glasgow.

Vampire Watermelon
Is vampire watermelon even real? Some people are saying that it was invented by Terry Pratchett, but this article doesn't mention him. I can understand about the "vampirism" in inanimate objects, but this is just ridiculous. The Gwai Lo 20:39, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, if you had told me when I woke up this morning I would be voting strong keep for a wiki article on Vampire watermelon... As ridiculous as it sounds, it is sourced. loads slowly, but on the righthand page you can see the reference.   mentions the context of the research.  Pratchett is mentioned at the end of the article as popularizing the motif.  I've got to say it stays.--Isotope23 20:58, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep per above. "Is it real?" is not a criterion for deletion, or there would be a fair few articles on deities, games characters, debunked scientific theories and you-name-it up for deletion. Tonywalton [[Image:Pentacle_1.svg|15px]] | Talk 22:39, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. Real (albeit very odd) myth. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 03:02, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: it doesn't seem to get a lot of unique, non-Wikipedia search results for a supposedly well known myth. Half of the top ten are Wikipedia mirrors and the later pages are similar, many of the other hits are weblogs and forums. No reputable sites jumped out at me. Also, the article admits only one factual reference exists. Articles on myths should be well sourced. -- Kjkolb 04:42, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * This is a common problem with the ethnology of obscure or marginalised groups. The Kosovo gypsies were and still are very much a marginalised group in that part of the world - it's quite possible that Tatomir Vukanovi&, the man who recorded the myth, was the only ethnologist working with Kosovo gypsies at that time. In that sort of situation, you have to look to the reputation of the individual researcher to judge how likely it is that his account is above board. Vukanović does seem to have had a very solid reputation. -- ChrisO 07:17, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * That's a good point. That's why I added a comment instead of voting delete - I thought it would be unlikely a serious researcher would make it up. However, the ridiculousness of the myth is hard for me to get past. If he didn't make it up, I would suspect that it was a joke, a children's story or made up by another group to make gypsies look foolish. I'll vote keep unless it is disproven. -- Kjkolb 07:40, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Even serious researchers make mistakes. That's why there's such a thing as peer review. An encyclopedia should only report as fact things which are known to be true, not things which are yet to be disproven. This is not a tabloid. Another option would be to rewrite the article to make it clear that whether or not vampir watermolens are real folklore is unknown, but any efforts to edit the article in that direction are quickly reverted which is why I think deletion is the only valid option at this point. As it stands this article is a huge embarassment to Wikipedia.--198.93.113.49 16:51, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

STRONG KEEP This article is highly accurate in content. My watermelons at home started to have vampiristic qualities and I didn't know why - until I read this article! It possibly saved my life. People need to be informed on this subject. It is well researched.
 * Strong keep: I actually remember the discussion on this article from about a year ago. Check out the Talk and the talk archive.

Neil Hodgson

Neil Stuart Hodgson (born 20 November 1973) is a British former motorcycle racer, who won the 2000 British Superbike Championship, and the 2003 Superbike World Championship titles. He then went on to have a moderately successful four years in the American Superbike Championship, with a best 5th place championship finish.

At the start of the 2010 season Hodgson returned to the British Superbike Championship with the Motorpoint Yamaha team managed by Rob McElnea. However, on 22 April 2010 Hodgson announced his retirement from British superbikes and competitive motorcycle racing, due to a shoulder injury sustained in a motocross accident during the previous AMA season. Hodgson aggravated the injury in the first round of the British Superbike Championship at the Brands Hatch Indy circuit.

Hodgson now divides his time between family in the Isle of Man whilst working as a motorcycle racing commentator and TV studio pundit, road racing trackday instructor and as an ambassador for motorcycle companies including Ducati.

Personal life
Hodgson was born in Burnley and lived there and in Nelson and Colne, Lancashire during his early life, attending Ss John Fisher and Thomas More RC High School. He was 6 when he started riding his brother's bike around playing fields in Brierfield near his grandma's home. Hodgson has a daughter Hollie-Jean and son Taylor. He lives in Onchan on the Isle of Man. His hobbies include motocross, trials and mountain biking. He supports Burnley F.C.

Early career
A schoolboy motocross rider from 1982 through 1989, Hodgson was voted Rider of the Year in 1986–87. Hodgson made the leap to road racing on Easter Sunday 1990 at a meeting at Langbaurgh (Teesside Autodrome), on a Yamaha TZR125. His first win was at the Three Sisters meeting in that same year. He came 8th in his first season in the British Clubman's Ministock. In 1992, he moved to the 125cc International Supercup, and became British National 125cc Champion aged 18. He was then selected to compete in the FIM World 125cc Championship as the youngest rider in the series and Britain's only representative in the class with Team Burnett (Roger Burnett), placing 24th in the Championship. In 1994, he was selected by HRC Honda as one of only five officially supported riders in 125cc World Championship with Team Burnett. He took part in two 500cc World Championship races for the Harris-Yamaha team.

500cc World Championship (1995)
In 1995, he moved full-time to 500cc World Championship with WCM, developing a reputation for being a smooth but impetuous rider who crashed a lot – he came 11th in the Championship.

Superbike World Championship (1996–1998)
For 1996, he moved to the Superbike World Championship (aka 'WSBK') with Ducati, and this began a frustrating three-year spell in the series, the latter two years with Fuchs Kawasaki. 9th was Hodgson's best championship finish in this era. His first podium came at Laguna Seca Raceway in 1996.

British Superbike Championship (1999–2000)
For 1999, he returned to the British Superbike Championship (BSB) with GSE Racing, and spent the season re-establishing himself on a superbike and regaining his confidence. His teammate at GSE Racing Troy Bayliss took the British Superbike title. 2000 saw one of the most titanic battles British Superbike had ever seen, as Hodgson battled Chris Walker who was riding for Suzuki, all season long. The championship came down to the last race of the year at Donington Park, and for most of the race it looked like Walker would take the title. However, with just 3 laps to go Walker's engine blew, allowing Hodgson to take the title. He also won two races of the British rounds of the Superbike World Championship that year as a 'wildcard' entry – one at Donington Park and one at Brands Hatch. The most memorable race of Hodgson's British Superbike title winning year was at Oulton Park, when he started race 1 from the back of the grid due after he stalled his bike, and ended up winning the race in breathtaking style, much to the amazement of the British crowd and his fellow competitors. The most controversial moment of the season came in race 2, when him and Walker came together on the final lap of the race battling for the win, resulting in Walker going down and Hodgson receiving a post-race penalty.

Return to Superbike (2001–2003)
GSE Racing stepped up to the Superbike World Championship series full-time for 2001, with Hodgson joined in the Ducati satellite team by up and coming English rider James Toseland. Hodgson was a race winner and 5th overall that year, while in 2002, Bayliss and Colin Edwards were dominant, although Neil took pole positions en route to 3rd overall. After both Bayliss and Edwards left for MotoGP, Hodgson became the number one rider for the works Ducati team in 2003, winning the title against teammate Ruben Xaus. Hodgson starred in a video called RIDE with EagleE and The Schlepp Riders also starring: Phil Greening, DJ Sassy, Princess the hit song maker of Say I'm Your No.1 fame in the 1980s. Also featuring Jason Fin.

MotoGP World Championship (2004)
For 2004, both Hodgson and Xaus went to Ducati's second-string MotoGP team, Team d'Antin Ducati. But the power delivery of the Desmosedici was extreme compared to a WSB Superbike, and the team had limited sponsorships and funds to run a test programme. Resultantly, Hodgson never felt he had the bike set up like he ever wanted it to be, while Xaus's natural extreme style appeared to get more out of the machine. Xaus ended up as rookie of the year, while a disillusioned Hodgson came 17th in the championship.

AMA Superbike Championship (2005–2009)
Hodgson at the time vowed never to return to MotoGP, stating that a combination of his age and nationality was now against him, and he would never be offered the best machinery capable of competing let alone winning. Having shown loyalty to Ducati throughout his motorcycle racing experience, the question now was where to place him. Ducati had a 'works' team focusing on making Régis Laconi the next WSB champion, and Hodgson didn't want to return to the Superbike World Championship in a satellite team, or to British Superbikes. Resultantly, with the stated aim of becoming the first rider to win all three Superbike titles of 'British', 'World' and 'American', he moved into the less-prestigious American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) championship in the United States for 2005 – he came sixth to Mat Mladin. Hodgson finished the 2006 AMA Superbike Championship in 5th place.

Ducati pulled out of the AMA Superbike Championship for at least the 2007 season, and Hodgson failed to obtain another ride as the 2007 Superbike World Championship opened. Hodgson was linked to joining Yamaha France from round 3 onwards, and to a temporary ride for Suzuki in WSBK. On 11 April he was confirmed as a test and development rider for Ducati, replacing the injured Shinichi Ito. Rizla Suzuki gave Neil a test on the team's Suzuki GSX-R1000 for tests of the bike taking place at Cadwell Park, but despite speculation he was not intended to replace Chris Walker.

He returned to the AMA Superbike Championship for one round at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca on a Corona Honda, partnering James Ellison, finishing fifth. At the Sachsenring MotoGP round he was revealed to have rejected a chance to stand in for Toni Elías on a Gresini Honda at this race, as he thought that it would impact his chances of landing a full-time Superbike ride, probably with Ten Kate Honda after an earlier speculated deal to ride for Fogarty Racing on an MV Agusta dissipated. On 5 September 2007, Honda America announced that Hodgson would race for them in the 2008 AMA Superbike season, riding the new Fireblade.

In 2008, Hodgson came 6th in the AMA Superbike Championship, picking up 2 3rd-place finishes at Miller Motorsports Park. These were his best results of the season, towards the end of the season Hodgson became more inconsistent collecting low scores in 1 race of every round from 8–10. Hodgson signed a contract to keep him with the Corona Honda team for the 2009 season.

In 2009, Hodgson started the season off strongly with a second-place finish at the Daytona circuit. Hodgson then had an accident in training on a motocross bike, causing him to suffer a collapsed lung and a dislocated shoulder causing him to miss the next 3 rounds. Hodgson would eventually finish 11th on 167 points.

Return to British Superbikes (2010)
Hodgson confirmed that he would be returning to British Superbikes for the 2010 season, with Motorpoint Yamaha alongside youngster Dan Linfoot.

George Bean (cricketer)

George Bean (7 March 1864 – 16 March 1923) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Sussex County Cricket Club between 1886 and 1898. He also played three Test matches for England in 1891–92.

Career
In 1885 Bean played an unsuccessful season for his home county of Nottinghamshire before moving on to Sussex. His most successful season was in 1891, which earned him a place on Lord Sheffield's tour to Australia in 1891/2, but he did not excel himself on the tour, and his form suffered further in 1892, ruling him out of further England contention. He had his Sussex benefit in 1893. After playing for Sussex, he moved onto the Lord's groundstaff and was a senior member there on his death. He had a successful benefit at Lord's in 1921.

Death
Bean died of pneumonia on 16 March 1923. His wife was Eliza predeceased him by approximately 9 years.

Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada

Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada is a GAA stadium in Carrick-on-Shannon, County Leitrim, Ireland. It is the home of Leitrim GAA's football and hurling teams. It was named for the Irish revolutionary Seán Mac Diarmada, one of the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising. (As there was in the early 1960s some debate among Irish scholars as to whether the genitive case should be used in commemorative namings, the nominative form was used and has been retained, rather than what would now be generally regarded as the grammatically correct form, Páirc Sheáin Mhic Dhiarmada.)

The stadium, opened in 1964, had a capacity of 17,000, with 3,000 seats. Following a national review of health and safety at GAA stadiums, that was reduced in 2011 to 9,331.

In 2006–07, a major renovation created a 3,000-seat covered stand providing an unrestricted view of the football field. Within the structure there were three levels: Under the stand: ground level - 4 dressing rooms (with treatment room, 12 to 15 person shower area and toilet facilities); referees' room; kitchen & dining area; public toilet facilities (wheelchair accessible); first aid area; plant room. Under the seated area: Middle Tier: drugs testing area; large meeting room; press office; 3 x additional offices; display/museum room; kitchen. Upper stand: radio commentary area; press area; indoor camera area.

Costing approximately 3 million euro, the renovation was funded by grants, government funding, and a "Get on the Team" initiative, which raised funds from the local community. The stand naming rights were then sold, and it is now called Ardán Mhic Shamhráin (using the genitive form).

I really don't think we need an article on an individual character from Knightmare. If we let this through, what's to stop articles being created for all the other characters?

I suggest the Knightmare Lexicon at for things like these, not Wikipedia. BillyH 20:41, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
