Zero spacing flux

In interferometry, the zero spacing flux (ZSF) refers to the estimated integrated flux density within the field of view of an interferometer that would be measured by a (potentially hypothetical) single-dish telescope possessing the same primary beam as the interferometer. This value does not represent a direct measurement, but rather an extrapolation based on both single-dish observation and interferometric data. Sometimes, in place of single-dish observations, dense array configurations can be used to capture large-scale emission data.

The ZSF plays a crucial role in the construction of accurate images of astronomical sources, especially those that are extended across the field of view. Because interferometers cannot directly measure visibilities at zero separation between antennas (zero baseline), the ZSF remains unknown. This missing information can lead to a phenomenon known as the "missing flux problem." In the reconstructed image, extended sources appear to be surrounded by a faint, negative halo of brightness.

By merging single-dish observations with the interferometric data, astronomers can account for the flux density of the largest structures in the sky, which are not captured by interferometers due to their limited spatial resolution.

Anthony Adams

Anthony "Spice" Adams (born June 18, 1980) is an American television host, actor, comedian, and former football defensive tackle who played in the National Football League (NFL) for nine seasons. After playing college football for Penn State, he was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the second round of the 2003 NFL Draft, for whom he played four seasons, followed by the Chicago Bears from 2007 to 2011.

After his playing career, he became involved in social media and television. He is a former co-host of The Great American Baking Show, the American adaptation of The Great British Bake Off.

Early life and college
Adams attended Martin Luther King Jr. Senior High School in Detroit, Michigan, and Pennsylvania State University. He played for the Penn State Nittany Lions football team from 1999 to 2002, being named to the academic all-Big Ten Conference team and honorable mention all-Big Ten.

During his freshman year, he recorded four tackles in nine games, which increased to 36 tackles and a sack the following season. As a junior, he had 59 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and led the team in tackles-for-loss with 11. In his senior year, he had 67 tackles, two sacks, 13 tackles-for-loss, and four pass breakups. The 2002 Nittany Lions entered the 2003 Capital One Bowl with the chance to record their first top-ten ranking since 1996, but lost to Auburn.

Adams graduated with a business degree in 2003.

Pre-draft
Before the 2003 NFL Draft, Adams participated in the Senior Bowl. Representing the North alongside four of his Penn State teammates, his team won 17–0.

San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers selected Adams in the second round (57th overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft; the 49ers, who lost two starting defensive linemen during the offseason, drafted Adams and defensive end Andrew Williams in the following round to fill the gap.

Adams became a free agent after the 2006 season, ending his 49ers tenure with 155 tackles and six sacks in 58 games.

Chicago Bears
On March 25, 2007, he signed a four-year contract with the Chicago Bears; team writer Larry Mayer described Adams as "an undersized but quick tackle who seemingly is an ideal fit for the Bears' one-gap defense." In 2010, he started all 16 games and the Bears' playoff games; at season's end, he was named a Brian Piccolo Award recipient. The following season, he only started four games and appeared in 11, and was released on February 26, 2012.

He announced his retirement via YouTube on March 24, 2013. In nine seasons, he served primarily as a depth player, starting at least eight games in three years. He ended his career with 278 tackles and 10.5 sacks.

Personal life
Adams and his wife, Andenika, have four children. Teammates have bestowed several nicknames on Adams: Former 49ers teammate Bryant Young dubbed him "Double A" not only for his initials but also for his suspicion that Adams' extra energy came from batteries. His Penn State teammates nicknamed him "Spice". Adams was voted "Mama's Boy" his senior year at Martin Luther King High School in Detroit. He is a member of Omega Psi Phi fraternity and was initiated at Nu Chapter. In the summer of 2012, Adams produced a series of videos on YouTube about life as an NFL free agent. On May 5, 2013, Adams earned his master's degree in Business Administration from George Washington University.

Community involvement
Since 2006, Adams has been involved with Youthville, a program in his hometown of Detroit. He gave away two Super Bowl XL tickets to the student who demonstrated the greatest improvement in grade point average. In 2009, Adams visited several Chicago Public Schools to help students write letters to troops overseas during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Media career
During his tenure with the 49ers, Adams was a blogger and hosted an online show with teammate Mike Adams called The Adams Report.

Starting on September 14, 2013, Adams began hosting a weekly half-hour show titled Inside the Bears, which airs on WFLD and WPWR-TV.

In 2016, Adams began a recurring role on the HBO series Ballers. He was announced on September 21, 2017, as one of the new hosts of The Great American Baking Show, an American adaptation of The Great British Bake Off, on ABC.

Adams is well known for his Instagram account, where he posts comedic videos under the username "spiceadams". Many of the characters and skits he has created have gone viral since 2018; an example is his catchphrase "ahaha", which became the subject of multiple memes on Twitter, and a photo of him hiding behind a tree in a bright yellow suit while rubbing his hands together and licking his lips in an expression of desire for what he is looking at.

Talk:WMV HD

Merge
Should WMV HD and VC-1 be merged? At the least, the two articles are not self consistent. The article WMV HD says it ''is now also called VC-1.  The VC-1 article says Although VC-1 and WMV9 refer to the same codec technology, VC-1 is actually a superset of WMV9, containing more coding tools for interlaced video sequences than the original WMV9 codec, which concentrated on progressive encoding for computer displays.'' Wendell 20:56, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

What about film soundtracks that never were 5.1?
"WMV-HD conform videos feature a 5.1 surround soundtrack, which is encoded in WMA-9."

What about older films, whose theatrical release was in mono, stereo, or matrix surround? Does a "conforming" transfer require remixing the audio from the original multitrack source? --Damian Yerrick 01:51, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes, It should be merged.
I definetly think it should be merged. WMVHD is the name of files encoded using VC-1. It should be merged.

172.155.31.230 14:12, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

No, It should not be merged.
WMV-HD is the name of a disc format, containing Windows Media 9 High Definition video files on a DVD-ROM. The article needs some updating, as there are dozens of available titles (I have 12 titles myself). VC-1 discusses the SMPTE approved encoder... these are 2 different topics.

Stripping DRM
"The DRM on WMV HD can be stripped using Sidda and/or DRMCreep or drmdbg or drm2wmv. You can find more information at Doom9's Forum." Do you think this is appropriate to say on Wikipedia? Is stripping the DRM illegal in the US? (Please mirror reply on my talk page) Josh 19:41, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

This section needs to be deleted. It's not encyclopedic, it violates WP:Notability, and the movies on the list could have been any number of movies.

Talk:Second Italian War of Independence

I'm not convinced that this title is the best title for this war. Specifically, the main opponents were Austria and France, not Austria and Piedmont-Sardinia. But I'm not sure if there's any name in common use...any thoughts? john k 22:34, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Franco-Austrian War seems to have some currency. Choess 02:35, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The war was declared by Austria agains Sardinia, hence the name. --Panairjdde 07:26, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * It was mostly fought between France and Austria. Calling it the Austro-Sardinian War seems misleading. john k 20:21, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Tell it to the historians.--Panairjdde 09:43, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I am a historian. I do not think this war is customarily referred to as the "Austro-Sardinian War" by historians.  I've seen "War of Italian Independence."  The Harper Encyclopedia of Military History calls it the "War of Austria with Piedmont and France".  What sources call it the "Austro-Sardinian War"? john k 19:18, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
 * john k's concern is a valid one, and for what it's worth, Google leans towards "Franco-Austrian War." I would, for my part, support a move to Franco-Austrian War. If this raises too many objections, how about "Austrian War (1859)," with the introduction reading: The Franco-Austrian War or Austro-Sardinian War of 1859 was..."? Albrecht 18:59, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I have always heard this war called The Second War of Italian Independence or the Second Italian War of Independence at times. The Italian article calls it that, and so does the Portuguese one. The German article calls it the Sardinian War. I think the Second War of Italian Independence is a much better name, for the other names either leave out the largest combatant on one side or the nation who the war was most important to. I think this probably ought to be moved to (The) Second War of Italian Independence and have the opening paragraph note the other potential names. It's just my opinion, but I've personally never, in three books I've read on the subject, heard of it called Franco-Austrian War or even Austro-Sardinian.-KingPenguin 23:53, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Personally I'd agree; I've read quite a lot of books on the subject, and the name used are those mentioned by KingPenguin.--Aldux 15:34, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Second Italian War of Independence seems good to me. Certainly more common than "Austro-Sardinian War."  I would say that normally it is refer to by an informal name like "war of 1859," "war with Austria," "war with France and Sardinia."  But none of those works as a title.  john k 16:42, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not hearing any objections, so I believe I may just move the article now. The person who originally created the article is banned for puppetry right now, anyways.-KingPenguin 00:37, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes I fully agree with this decision. My Atlas of World Military History (2000) calls it the "Franco-Austrian War," but this is the most appropriate name, all things considered.UberCryxic 01:13, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I think this is a very great mistake and a very bizarre choice of title for a conflict in which France fielded most of the armies, did most of the fighting, caused the greatest sensation (by burying the Congress of Vienna) and reaped most of the benefits. The Italian, Portuguese, and German wiki titles, furthermore, should hardly count for anything in the balance of our decision – unless you attach wholly disproportionate importance to the fact that the Portuguese editors merely based themselves on the Italian title and the Germans on ours. My compromise, while somewhat unwieldy, I'll grant you, at least skirted the problem of promoting a national prejudice. Albrecht 21:53, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I have a fairly clear bias towards Italy, but I still think this is a more politically important subject for Italy than France, despite troop numbers, (a little bit like the Eighty Years' War was more important for the Dutch, despite the larger powers of England and Spain fighting when the Dutch needed English support.) Given that there was already a new French government just ten years after this war, it would seem that they were not the main ones to profit from the war. The war is much more significant in Italian history than it is in French history (or Austrian) for it is the war that made them large enough to almost begin to call themselves Italy, rather than Piedmont-Sardinia. I also personally cannot find a book with any name like Franco-Austrian War or anything like that, though my books don't speak from a French point of view. I think a more neutral or France-biased name is suitable for the French Wikipedia, for its entry is "Campaign of Italy (1859)", but for an English article, with no national point of view to choose, one should pick a name slightly biased towards Italy, for it was most important for Italians, and is more likely to be read by an Italian audience than a French or Austrian one. -KingPenguin 00:09, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
 * How in the world did France reap most of the benefits? France reaped no particular benefits from the initial war, and its eventual gains of Nice and Savoy were almost certainly overshadowed by the fact that the unification of the peninsula left much less scope for French influence in the peninsula, and that it made the French position in Rome precarious and ultimately untenable.  I would say, however, that the idea that the article is "more likely to be read" by Italians than French or Austrians is an absurd reason to name the article.  The article is most likely to be read by, er, English-speakers, and as such should use the name most familiar to them.  The problem is that there isn't any such name, as far as anyone has been able to determine.  The current title seems about as well as we can do, but it's not really very well.  My dissertation actually concerns this war (in part), and I run into this problem all the time - I have no idea what to call it, because it doesn't really have any common English name.  I usually call it something like the "1859 war" to people who are familiar with the outlines of the history, or something more complicated and expository to those who are not.  But it's really a complete mess.  I'd say it's the only major European war between the Spanish Succession and the present which doesn't have a well agreed upon name in the English historical literature (the only other examples I can think of would be the individual Napoleonic Wars, which sometimes are known by conflicting titles, and especially the 1813-1814 conflict, but even these are better served, and at least have the general title of "Napoleonic Wars" which can be applied).  The last previous war without a single generally agreed upon name is the War of the League of Augsburg/Grand Alliance/Nine Years War, which suffers rather from a surfeit of commonly used name.  The 1859 war seems to hearken back to the 16th century in its lack of any agreed upon name for the conflict in English.  john k 01:40, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I might suggest "Italian War of 1859" as more or less neutral and descriptive, if I could actually find a source that uses that name. john k 01:41, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry about the Italian-French-Austrian audience thing, perhaps it would be more accurate to say "those generally interested in Italian history" as compared to those with French and Austrian, but it doesn't much matter. Looking again at my books, I agree that an informal name is very common, especially War of 1859, but I still would suggest that the current title stay, because it is the most commonly found name in my resources that makes for a good article title. -KingPenguin 00:21, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Hello. I'd personally be for keeping the present solution; even if it has some considerable ambiguities, linked to the fact that the "Second Italian ecc." tends to be the name involving all the wars that brought to the unification of Italy, including the Garibaldi expedition.--Aldux 15:16, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

A couple of thoughts
First, although I agreed to it four years ago, I am increasingly uncomfortable with this title. As far as I can tell, "Second Italian War of Independence" is a term which is generally used to encompass all the struggles of the 1859-1861 period, including Garibaldi's campaigns in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the Sardinian campaigns in the Papal States and the Two Sicilies. I don't think it's normally used to refer exclusively to the conflict with Austria. I think I'd prefer "Franco-Austrian War", which is at least more neutral.

Second, it'd be nice if the map could show the Quadrilateral. None of these fortresses was actually the scene of military action in 1859, but their existence was very important in determining the course of the war, especially after Solferino. Certainly Verona should be shown, at least. john k (talk) 03:46, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Piedmontese ?
The second section starts with the problems between the "Piedmontese" and the Austrians. Its not very clear who the "Piedmontese" are here. Does this mean the House of Savoy's "Kingdom of Sardinia",   or some other part of the Piedmont region under Austrian rule ?

It would probably be beneficial to use consistent naming throughout. Although calling them "Sardinians" is not very convincing either. Perhaps the answer to to precede this with an explanatory sentence explaining the nature of the Savoyard kingdom at the start of this war.Eregli bob (talk) 09:28, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * It means the House of Savoy's "Kingdom of Sardinia," also known as Piedmont-Sardinia. john k (talk) 21:45, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

South Coast Highway

South Coast Highway is a Western Australian highway. It is a part of the Highway 1 network.

With a length of 592 km, it runs from Esperance to Walpole roughly in parallel to Western Australia's south coast. Even then the journey is pretty much inland.

Approximately 40 km from Ravensthorpe lies the Fitzgerald River National Park with beaches, coastal and mountain walking trails and wildflowers. There are three more national parks with abundant wildlife along the journey to Walpole. Albany is a former whaling town and is rich in history.

Beyond Walpole, Highway 1 continues as South Western Highway to Perth. Beyond Esperance, Highway 1 continues as Coolgardie–Esperance Highway to Norseman.

Towns
The highway passes through the following towns from East to West:
 * Esperance
 * Ravensthorpe
 * Boxwood Hill
 * Manypeaks
 * Albany
 * Denmark
 * Walpole

Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai

Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai (1689/1690 – 21 December 1752), commonly known by the honorifics Lakhino Latif, Latif Ghot, Bhittai, and Bhit Jo Shah, was a Sindhi Sufi mystic and poet from Pakistan, widely considered to be the greatest poet of the Sindhi language.

Born to a Kazmi Sayyid family of Hala Haweli originating from Herat,  near modern-day Hala, Bhittai grew up in the nearby town of Kotri Mughal. At the age of around 20, he left home and traveled throughout Sindh and neighboring lands, and met many mystics and Jogis, whose influence is evident in his poetry. Returning home after three years, he was married into an aristocratic family, but was widowed shortly afterwards and did not remarry. His piety and spirituality attracted a large following as well as the hostility of a few. Spending the last years of his life at Bhit (Bhit Shah), he died in 1752. A mausoleum was built over his grave in subsequent years and became a popular pilgrimage site.

His poems were compiled by his disciples in his Shah Jo Risalo. It was first published in 1866. Several Urdu and English translations of the work have been published since. Bhittai's poetry is popular among the people of Sindh and he is venerated throughout the province.

Life
Tuhfat al-Kiram and Maqalat al-shu'ara, written by Mir Ali Sher Qani Tahttwi, a contemporary of Shah Abdul Latif, some fifteen years after the death of the poet, gives some basic details of his life. Other than these, however, few written records exist from the early period and most of what has been reported about his ife was transmitted orally through generations. The oral traditions were collected and documented in the late 19th century by Mirza Qalich Beg and Mir Abd al-Husayn Sangi. Together with Thattwi's works, these form the basis for the outline of the poet's life.

Bhittai was born in 1689 or 1690 in Hala Haweli near modern-day Hala, to Shah Habib, a great-grandson of the Sufi poet Shah Abdul Karim Bulri. His ancestors traced their lineage back to the fourth caliph Ali and Fatima, the daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. They had emigrated to Sindh from Herat during the late 14th century.

Bhittai spent the early years of his childhood in Hala Haweli, but the family then relocated to the nearby town of Kotri Mughal. Local tradition holds that he was illiterate, however his use of Arabic and Persian in his poetry and the evident influence of the Persian poet Rumi on his thought show that he was well educated.

At the age of around 20, he fell in love with Saida Begum, a daughter of an Arghun aristocrat of Kotri Mughal, Mirza Mughal Beg, which landed Bhittai's family in trouble and caused them return to Hala Haweli. Her love, however, had a deep impact on young Bhittai and he left home wandering deserts and embarking on travel through Sindh and adjacent lands.

According to Motilal Jotwani, it was perhaps during these travels that his poetic nature came to the fore. He mentions the places he visited in his poems. First he went to Ganjo Hill near what is now Hyderabad, thereafter traveling to Kalachi (modern Karachi) through Thatta and Banbhore. On the journey he met Jogis and accompanied them to Hinglaj in the mountains of southern Balochistan. On his return east, he visited Lahut in Lasbela, and then travelled across to Dwarka, Porbandar, Junagadh, and several other places in the Kutch region. Returning west, he visited Karoonjhar Mountains in Nagarparkar. Parting ways with the Jogis in Thar, he went to Jaisalmer before returning to Thatta and then home. His travels seem to have had a strong influence on his poetry. Those who get acquainted with Ganja Hill, Become Yogis, forsaking all books and scriptures.

Bhittai returned home after three years.

In 1713 Mirza Mughal Beg was killed while in pursuit of robbers who had looted his house. After this incident, Bhittai was married to Saida Begum, the woman whom he had been in love with. The marriage did not result in any offspring and Saida Begum died a few years into the marriage. Bhittai did not remarry and remained childless his entire life.

He now seems to have settled down and devoted to prayer and worship. His piety attracted a large following, which reportedly earned him the hostility of nobles and Noor Mohammad Kalhoro, the ruler of Sindh, who is said to have unsuccessfully tried to assassinate him by poisoning.

Some ten years before his death, Bhittai left his home, relocating to a sandhill a few miles from Hala Haweli, which later became known as Bhit Shah (Mound of Shah), hence his title Bhittai (the dweller of Bhit). Bhittai died at Bhit on 21 December 1752 (14 Safar 1166 AH) at the age of 63 and was buried there. A tomb was built over his grave by the then ruler of Sindh Mian Ghulam Shah Kalhoro in 1754, or 1765.

Poetry
Bhittai's poetry is mainly Sufi in nature and deeply religious. He connects the traditional folk tales with the divine love. The poems, known locally as bayt (pl. abyat) and similar in form to the Indian doha, are lyrical, are intended for a musical performance, and are usually very compact.

In addition, he has also used a bit more relaxed format called wa'i.

Bhittai is said to have always kept with him the Qur'an, Karim jo Risalo, and the Mathnawi of Rumi. He seems to have been significantly influenced by the latter; sometimes he reflects his ideas and sometimes translates his verses in his poems.

Bhittai has emphasized that the Sufi should stick to Shari'ah and Ma'arifah (gnosis) in his poetry:

Abu Sa'id Abu'l-Khayr, a Persian poet and Sufi mystic (967–1049), has expressed similar idea in his verses which is also quite famously attributed to Rumi: Come, come, whoever you are, Wanderer, idolater, worshipper of fire, Come, and come yet again, Ours is not a caravan of despair.

During Bhittai's lifetime, Sindh transitioned from Delhi-based Mughal rule to the local Kalhora dynasty. During the later part of Bhittai's life, Nadir Shah Afshar sacked Delhi and made Sindh his tributary. Bhittai also witnessed Ahmad Shah Durrani's attack on Delhi and his subjection of Sindh to Afghan rule. Despite all this, his poetry is devoid of any mention of these upheavals or the political landscape of his time in general. H. T. Sorley has attributed this to his interest in "eternal verities" and indifference to "transient phenomena" and "petty wars".

Risalo
Bhittai's poetry was not written down during his lifetime, but was sung and memorized by his disciples during the musical sessions (Rag) that he used to hold. The poems were compiled after his death into a collection called Shah Jo Risalo (the Book of Shah).

The Risalo was first published in 1866 by the German philologist Ernest Trumpp. It contains thirty chapters, called Sur, each focusing on a particular musical mode. Each Sur is further divided into sections, dastan (story) or fasl (chapter), which contain similarly themed abyat. Each section ends with one or more wa'is. Some Surs focus on folk tales of the Indian sub-continent such as Sassui Punhun, Sohni Mehar, Umar Marui, and Lilan Chanesar, whereas others, like Sur Asa and Sur Yaman Kalyan, describe the mystical moods and ideal traditional lover. Sur Sarang is devoted to the praise of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, while Sur Kedaro laments the death of Muhammad's grandson, and Bhittai's ancestor, Husayn ibn Ali at the Battle of Karbala in 680. Sur Kedaro has been said by some prominent scholars of Shah's poetry such as Nabi Bakhsh Baloch and Ghulam Muhammad Shahwani to have come from a external source rather than Shah himself.

Since the first edition of the Risalo, several other editions have been published by various scholars including Mirza Qalich Beg, Hotchand Molchand Gurbakhshani, Ghulam Muhammad Shahvani, Kalyan Advani, and Nabi Bakhsh Baloch. Urdu translations have been published by Shaikh Ayaz, and Ayaz Husayn Qadiri and Sayyid Vaqar Ahmad Rizvi. The first partial English translation of the Risalo was published by H. T. Sorley in 1940, followed by Elsa Kazi, and Ghulam Ali Allana. Complete translations have been published by Muhammad Yakoob Agha, Amena Khamisani, and others. Early manuscripts of the Risalo as well as published editions show considerable differences in the content. The most widely accepted version has some 3,000 abyat and 200 wa'is.

Legacy
Bhittai is regarded as the greatest Sufi poet of the Sindhi language and the national poet of Sindh. According to the orientalist Annemarie Schimmel, he is "The most outstanding master of popular Sufi poetry in Pakistan." According to Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Bhittai's Risalo has been compared with Rumi's Mathnawi, and Bhittai represents "direct emanations of Rūmī's spirituality in the Indian world."

Every Thursday evening, Bhittai's poetry is sung by traditional musicians and dervishes at the shrine in a typical ecstatic style. The performance is commonly referred to as Shah jo Rag (Shah's music).

Popular culture
Bhittai's poetry is popular among the Sindhi people, including both Muslims and Hindus. Bhittai's own connections with Jogis and Sanyasis may have contributed to this. The folk tales narrated in the Surs of the Risalo are frequently recounted and sung to children.

Many anecdotes about Bhittai of a haigographical nature are famous among the locals. One such story holds that when he was being taught the alphabet, he refused to learn anything beyond the letter Alif for it signifies the name of God (Allah) and there is nothing of value beyond it. Another story of this kind asserts that his followers presented him a written copy of the Risalo, which he threw away in the nearby Kirar lake after having read it. When the followers protested, he allowed them to rewrite the entire Risalo by narrating it from his memory. His tomb is a popular pilgrimage site in Sindh.

Urs
The Urs, an annual commemoration of his death, occurs on 14 Safar, the second month of the Hijra calendar. The ceremony, which lasts for three days, features prayers, music, exhibitions, literary conferences, and horse races. People visit the shrine from all over the province. A 16-foot-high statue of Bhittai was erected in front of the Bhit Shah rest house on the occasion of his 274th Urs in 2017.

Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Nixer and E Pluribus Anthony

'''Closing, as no activity in the last three months. If parties wish to reopen, please contact the mediator.''' Essjay  Talk •  Contact 04:26, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Users involved

 * Nixer
 * E Pluribus Anthony
 * Marskell
 * potentially, other users who have commented on global city pages in former/recent discussions

Summary
In recent history, the global city article – and related topic – has been a hotbed of subjective editions and choices; some have been in disagreement with the primary cited reference, the Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network (GaWC) list (a published source), but also with other cited references.

Beginning 27 September 2005, Nixer began providing notional summary argumentation about why numerous ex-Soviet cities ranked as they did in this report/article and that there was a discontinuity between the article summary/definition and the GaWC list. E Pluribus Anthony, functioning as an amicus curiae cited differing examples/interpretations ad nauseum, and highlighted the clear distinction between the article proper and the GaWC list. E Pluribus Anthony and Marskell have indicated empathy and a willingness to alter the article appropriately (including addition of different sections and appropriate tables) contingent on citation of relevant information and sources and subsequent rationalisation.

Nixer has failed to do this as of yet, despite repeated requests and repeated reminders of recently stated information/rationale. Nixer continues to add dispute resolution tags to the article inappropriately, i.e., by only providing argumentation (not citations/evidence) substantiating this position. E Pluribus Anthony, et al. have reverted these tags, but cannot do so perpetually.

Nixer then proceeded to add a table segregating global-city related criteria, a la transport page, without discussion or indicating sources. This was removed pending source provision and cautions were expressed about original research.

Moreover and later (perhaps cognizant of my residency in Toronto), Nixer has made minor retaliatory editions to the Toronto article and information template, relating to global city notation. E Pluribus Anthony has restored original text on numerous occasions, pending rationalisation.

Request for mediation and guidance requested by author; specifically regarding (but not limited to):
 * (1) prohibition of substantial editions and inclusion of POV tags to global city article by Nixer, contingent upon provision of authoritative, relevant citations;
 * (2) prohibition of retaliatory edits by Nixer to Toronto article;
 * (3) arbitration of said issue.

Thanks! E Pluribus Anthony 23:43, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Is this a request for arbitration, or an offer to enter into Mediation? Uncle Ed 00:10, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * This is a request for mediation: I have made various contributions here and there and I've tried to be as objective as possible regarding this; to no avail. An arbitration (from what I gather) is feasible if a mediation fails and is the highest 'escalation', right?  I'd like to settle this without resorting to arbitration, but that may be necessary.  In any event, this needs to be resolved somehow.  Your guidance is appreciated.  Thanks!  E Pluribus Anthony 00:19, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Now that I see Catherine is back, I'd like her to take this case. R  e  dwolf24  (talk) 01:48, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Fine with me! :) E Pluribus Anthony 15:36, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I accept. Does Nixer agree to mediation?  — Catherine\talk 18:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Great! I don't know if he will accept mediation, though.  I mentioned the prospect if things could not be resolved alternatively.  And as I've been involved in this from the get-go as of late – and in the spirit of true mediation – can you ask him? :)  And what if he does not accept?  In any event, I appreciate your assistance.  Thanks! E Pluribus Anthony 18:49, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Nixer's comments
First, because the article is being disputed, I think, the dispute tag should exist in the article until the conclusion. Second, because of contraversity between the introduction and the GaWC rating, I suggested to alter the article different ways:

1. Remove the existing introduction and leave the GaWC rating only.

2. Remove the GaWC rating and leave a link to it only.

3. Add some other ratings such as cost of life rating, number of billionaires living in the city or rating of metro area.

4. Add a table to the article, indicating different parameters of a city or place of the city in diffeent ratings.

So, all of my suggestions were refused and my edits were reverted.

Also, I should note that there is another user Vlad Patryshev, who agreed the article is biased and is not objective. He voted for complete deletion of the article from Wikipedia. According to his opinion, the GaWC list is an insult for Wikipedia.--Nixer 19:39, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Marskell's comments
First, I broadly second EP's requests and comments.

I'd suggest that tags can't be unilateral and that it doesn't belong on this page. Nixer has essentially created the controversy.

As for points 1 and 2—seperating the intro and the GaWC info—I disagree. We make clear that GaWC is a starting point to view the topic and not synonomous with Global City itself. The info is not an "insult to Wikipedia." It's a perfectly respectable primary source which dovetails with what we want to describe in this article.

Points 3 and 4: yes, add other information but source it. You were reverted for this reason. Your suggestions were not refused, your edits were. Marskell 20:13, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Catherine's comments
Firstly, thank you for accepting me as mediator, and for refraining from editing this article while mediation is in progress. I have moved the "responses" from this section to Talk:Global city/Mediation, where I will continue this discussion. When online, I can also be reached by email and on the main wikipedia IRC channel (although I don't watch it continuously so you may need to ping me).

I choose not to protect the article at this point -- I trust you both to work together while we try to find a good solution to your differences. I think the "globalize" tag should remain while we work this out (although it technically belongs on the talk page, it won't do any harm there for a short time).

Marskell, I appreciate your comments here and on the talk page, and your attempts at perspective, but I believe a mediation is most fruitful between two people; you are welcome to follow along, but unless your disagreement is significantly different from EPA's, I would ask that you sit on the sidelines, and hold off from making edits yourself for a few days. (Also, try to be more professional in your edit summaries, please? :)

Thank you, — Catherine\talk 02:31, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Dbachmann
in case this proceeds to arbitration, I would like to submit Nixer's behaviour on and  (where he employs rather similar tactics) as part of the case. Meanwhile, I'm not interested in mediation, as a consequence of the nature of the exchange on these articles' respective talkpages. dab (ᛏ) 20:36, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Prior Park College

Prior Park College is a co-educational Catholic public school for both boarding and day pupils in Bath, south-west England. Its main building, Prior Park, stands on a hill overlooking the city and is a Grade I listed building. The adjoining 57 acre Prior Park Landscape Garden was donated by Prior Park to the National Trust.

The school's parent body is Prior Park Schools, which also runs the Paragon Junior School (Bath) and Prior Park School Gibraltar.

Overview
Founded in 1830 to be England's first Catholic university, Prior Park College was established by the Benedictine, Bishop Baines, as a seminary. To the present, it has remained a Catholic school, and provides co-educational schooling for students aged 11 to 18 in the Catholic tradition and ecumenical spirit.

In 2008, students achieved the best A-level results in the history of the school, with over one fifth of all students getting three A's and 77% receiving A and B grades.

In July 2009, Giles Mercer retired. He had been head teacher since 1996, and with his previous position as head of Stonyhurst College, he became the "longest serving Catholic senior school headmaster in England". His successor was James Murphy-O'Connor, nephew of former Prior Park pupil Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor. Since 2019, Ben Horan has been the headmaster, after Murphy-O'Connor took up a new position at the Monmouth Schools.

The school is part of the Prior Park Foundation which includes the Paragon Junior School, also in Bath, and Prior Park School Gibraltar, in the British overseas territory of Gibraltar.

Architecture
The Palladian hillside mansion housing Prior Park College was designed and built by John Wood, the Elder in 1742. He was commissioned by Ralph Allen: "To see all Bath, and for all Bath to see".

One wing of the mansion includes a chapel of our Lady of the Snows, built in 1863 by Scoles and Son, which is Grade I listed; there is also a chapel in the original house. The chapel is unfinished, with the pillars at the back remaining unsculpted as they were in 1863.

Landscape architecture
Prior Park Landscape Garden was laid out between 1734 and 1744, with the Allens benefiting during the first phase from the advice of their friend Alexander Pope. The Palladian bridge and the lake that it spans were added in 1755; the final phase with the green slopes from the house to the lake is thought to have been planned by Capability Brown in the 1760s. The garden is now owned by the National Trust.

History
In 1828, Bishop Baines purchased the mansion for £22,000 and used it as a seminary named the Sacred Heart College. Renovations were made according to designs by H. E. Goodridge in 1834. The seminary was closed in 1856 after a fire in 1836 caused extensive damage and subsequent renovation caused financial insolvency. The estate was later bought by Bishop Clifford who founded a Catholic grammar school.

The chapel was designed by J. J. Scoles in 1844 but not completed until 1863. It followed 18th-century French models such as Chalgrin's St. Philippe-du-Roule in Paris. Pevsner describes it as "without any doubt the most impressive Chapel interior of its date in the county".

The grammar school closed in 1904 and the estate was occupied by the army during the First World War and by a series of tenants until 1921; the Christian Brothers founded a boys' boarding school in 1924. Prior Park College continues to occupy the main house. In 1993, 11.3 ha of the park and pleasure grounds were acquired by the National Trust and have been extensively restored.

The mansion has been victim of fire twice. The 1836 event left visible damage to some stonework. A 1991 fire gutted the interior, except for parts of the basement; rebuilding took four years and cost about £6 million. Unusually, the blaze started on the top floor, and spread downwards. The school operated in the stables and former servants' quarters during the renovation.

Facilities
Prior Park leases The Monument Field from the National Trust. The field is named after a triangular Gothic building with a round tower erected by Bishop Warburton, demolished in 1953; it had a circular staircase and contained a tablet inscribed in Latin in honour of Ralph Allen.

Since 2000, improvements include an indoor swimming pool, an Information and communications technology centre, and classroom extensions including the Mackintosh Dance Studio and Theatre (2006), the Design Centre (September 2016) and the Bury Sports Centre (April 2015). All sports facilities are located on site.

Former preparatory school
In 1946 the Congregation of Christian Brothers opened a preparatory school linked to Prior Park College, at Calcutt Street, Cricklade, Wiltshire. The school's main building was the late-19th century Manor House, with extensive grounds. At first a boarding school for boys, the school admitted day boys in the 1970s. After the Brothers left Bath and Cricklade in 1980, the school was sold and came under lay management but kept its name, Prior Park Preparatory School. Later, girls were admitted, and the school catered for ages 3 to 13, with boarding available from age 7. In January 2015 there were 205 pupils.

Since September 2017, the school is no longer a member of the Prior Park Schools Educational Trust, although it retains strong links with the college. Its name changed to Cricklade Manor Prep and it is one of the Wishford Schools group of preparatory schools.

Tassal

Tassal is a Tasmanian-based Australian salmon farming company founded in 1986. It was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) from 2003 until 2022. Tassal is the largest producer of Tasmanian grown Atlantic salmon, supplying salmon to both domestic and international markets. In November 2022, it was acquired by Canadian seafood company Cooke Inc. and delisted from the ASX.

Operations
As of 30 June 2021, Tassal employed a total of 1,712 people, with over 1,000 in Tasmania, 430 in NSW and 200 in Queensland.

Seafood and prawns
Operations in Queensland are focused on farming prawns. NSW operations also support the processing and distribution of seafood products other than salmon.
 * Northern Prawn Fishery - Xanadu
 * Mission Beach, Queensland - Prawn farm, hatchery & processing facility
 * Proserpine, Queensland - Prawn farm, hatchery & processing facility
 * Exmoor Station, Queensland - Aquaculture Development Area
 * Yamba, New South Wales - Prawn farm & processing facility
 * Lidcombe, New South Wales - Seafood processing facility

Marine farming zones
Tassal has five marine farming zones, where the standard pen has a volume of 11,600 cubic metres and holds enough salmon to produce 120 tonnes once harvested. Salmon are kept in these large sea cages between 12 and 18 months and continue to grow until they are ready to be harvested at an average weight of 5.0 kg live weight.
 * Eastern Zone, Okehampton Bay & Port Arthur
 * Channel Zone, D'Entrecasteaux Channel
 * Southern Zone, Dover & Huon River
 * Western Zone, Macquarie Harbour
 * Storm Bay Zone, Nubeena & West of Wedge

Freshwater hatcheries
Tassal operates two hatcheries, with a third to be developed, it also has access to the selective breeding program operated by SALTAS on behalf of the Salmon industry in Tasmania.

Combined, they have the capacity to produce ten million smolt a year. These smolt come from broodstock from a Tasmanian-based industry selective breeding program. The Rookwood Road Hatchery and Nursery underwent an expansion in April 2016 to make it the biggest land-based salmon nursery in Australia with the capacity to produce approximately 8 million smolt per year. After 8–12 months at Rookwood Nursery, the smolt are transferred to sea.
 * Rookwood I & II Ranelagh
 * Russell Falls & Karanja Mount Field
 * SALTAS (industry hatchery) Wayatinah
 * HRAS (future development), Hamilton

Processing facilities
Tassal has four processing facilities, including a smokehouse, one retail outlet and a mobile salmon truck.
 * Huonville, Salmon processing
 * Margate, Salmon processing
 * Dover, Salmon processing
 * Triabunna, Rendering facility

Acquisitions
On 1 February 2005, Tassal acquired Aquatas from Webster.

On 31 December 2007, Tassal announced it was acquiring the assets and intellectual property of Superior Gold from the King Island Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of National Foods, for $26.5m.

On 1 July 2015, Tassal announced the acquisition of DeCosti Seafoods.

In September 2018, De Costi Seafoods, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tassal Group, acquired the land, assets and inventory of the Fortune Group prawn aquaculture business.

On 16 August 2022, Tassal Group was acquired by the Canadian aquaculture company Cooke Inc. at 5.23 Australian dollars per share, or a total of 1.7 billion Australian dollars (1.19 billion US dollars). This was the third, highest offer Cooke Inc. made to Tassal.

Partnerships
In 2012, Tassal and WWF announced the “WWF Australia and Tassal Sustainable Aquaculture partnership".

Third party certification is currently provided by Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), Best Aquaculture Practices, Global Salmon Initiative.

Environmental sustainability
In 2016, ABC News reported that Tassal would begin trials into farming three native seaweed species (Lessonia corrugata, Ecklonia radiata and Macrocysts pyrifera) alongside salmon and oyster on its farm leases to diversify the ecosystem of the farms. The macroalgae farming in the salmon cages also absorb pollution, such as chemicals and parasites.

Tassal became the 17th member of the Global Salmon Initiative in February 2018. In 2018, they moved towards 100% recycling of their hard and soft plastic.

Violations
Communications between Tassal and the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment (DPIPWE) recorded several "unacceptable environmental impacts" from 2005 and 2009, something Greens leader Kim Booth called a "background of non-compliance."

During November 2016, non-compliances were detected at leases in Macquarie Harbour, where three salmon companies farm. Tassal alerted the EPA to issues and subsequently destocked its Franklin lease in the Harbour. The lease was fallowed for 18 months, during which time Aquaculture Stewardship Council was not pursued for the lease as there were no fish in it.

In May 2017, the ASC found Tassal had failed to comply with 19 requirements for ASC Certification in Macquarie Harbour.

Inquiry witness tampering
In February 9, 2017 a senate committee was established to investigate claims of witness tampering made in a 2016 episode of the investigative television program Four Corners. The show focused on the Tasmanian Salmon aquaculture industry and the local opposition to bay leases, with issues covered including environmental impact, health and sustainability practices of Tassal in particular. The episode included interviews with Dover mussel farmer Warwick Hastwell who accused Tassal of ruining his business. Located downstream from Tassel's main farm, mussels stopped growing there after being covered with orange tunicate, an invasive invertebrate that Hastwell believed originated from in-water cleaning of salmon pens. Hastwell claimed that Tassal had paid a lump sum for his leases and a confidentiality deed. Set to give evidence in a 2015 senate inquiry into the aquaculture industry, Tassal e-mailed Hastwell's lawyer, "We remind your clients of their obligations not to make disparaging statements whether in relation to the Senate Enquiry (sic) or to the media or otherwise." Hastwell did not appear during the senate inquiry. On February 8, 2017 Tasmanian Senator Stephen Parry told parliament that the Environment and Communications Committee reported, "Having taken the necessary steps, the committee has concluded that the witness may have been improperly influenced."

Representation in media
On 26 April 2021, Tasmanian author Richard Flanagan published the controversial non-fiction book Toxic: The Rotting Underbelly of the Tasmanian Salmon Industry, which claimed to expose a range of unethical practices in the Tasmanian salmon industry.

Macquarie Harbour
In May 2018, Tassal established a joint venture with Petuna to farm in Macquarie Harbour. The goal was to improve stocking strategies, bio-security and allow longer fallowing periods to protect the environment.

Antibiotic use
Concerns have been raised by Tasmanian community groups, such as the organization Marine Protection Tasmania, over the use of antibiotics by the company, particularly regarding the fact that there is a legally required 1000 degree day antibiotic withdrawal period before a farm salmon is slaughtered, but "wild" salmon that is fished by the public may still be contaminated with antibiotic residue. A monitoring report by the Environment Protection Authority Tasmania (EPA) that was published in July 2022 found that after heavy antibiotic use in response to a vibrio outbreak in Tassal's Sheppards lease in January of that year, flathead salmon caught 2 km away from the boundary of Tassal's lease contained levels of antibiotics above the reportable threshold. Additionally, the World Health Organization has warned that antibiotics misuse contributes to antibiotic-resistant organisms developing, and that vaccination ought be used to prevent misuse. Tassal attempted to prevent the 2022 report, as well as another antibiotic residue monitoring report from September 2020, from being released to the public by the EPA.

In 2017 Tassal confirmed its use of the antibiotic oxytetracycline, which was not used in humans in 2018 in Australia, and was rated as low importance by the Australian Strategic and Technical Advisory Group on Antimicrobial Resistance.

Antibiotic use is audited annually by the ASC, whose standards forbid the use of antibiotics from the World Health Organization list of Critically Important Antimicrobials for Human Medicine.

Usage as reported by Tassal, for each annual reporting period, and as reported by the EPA for each year in kilograms per year:

Awards and recognition

 * In 2012, Tassal was recognised as an "Employer of Choice" by the Tasmanian Government.

Talk:Robert Gould Shaw III

Ancestry
Can someone confirm whether or not RGS III is related to or a descendant of Robert Gould Shaw, the colonel of the 54th Mass. Regiment? Shaw was married, but there is no mention of children. Just curious, as his father's listed as "Bob Shaw" and could possibly be Robert Gould II. Morhange 22:45, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure. I found out about him while researching Nancy Astor. It mentioned his father, but outside of being from a wealthy New York family I don't recall specifics. I could look it up later maybe.--T. Anthony 09:05, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay I found this. "Her(Nancy Astor's) first husband was Robert Gould Shaw II, nephew of the leader of the black Massachusetts 54". So that would make the Robert Gould Shaw you mean the great-uncle of this Robert Gould Shaw III. Well if I have my geneological terms straight.--T. Anthony 09:29, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry but this is incorrect information. Robert Gould Shaw II was the son of Quincy Adams Shaw, uncle to Col. Robert Gould Shaw. So Shaw II would have been one of his many cousins. So Shaw III was a distant cousin of the famous RGS. C. Denny

If only I could guess my acquaintance C. Denny - much appreciated reflection on the genealogy. Yes, RGS II, first married to Nancy Langhorne, was the son of Quincy Adams Shaw. Quincy's brother was Colonel Robert Gould Shaw of the 54th's father, hence RGS and RGS II were cousins. I would contest that RGS III is a bit closer than a distant cousin of Col. RGS, as Col. RGS is his great uncle. Cgshaw 18:54, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * And... was Quincy Adams Shaw any relation to President Quincy Adams? (Now they're all trying to get into the act!) Valetude (talk) 08:11, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Do not delete
One of the most famous homosexuals that actually served prison time under UK sodomy laws. Callelinea (talk) 22:50, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Is he? I have to admit I think his story is interesting, that's why I made the article, but I'm not sure if he's very notable outside his parents. I was thinking maybe we could make this a redirect to the Nancy Astor article, which I'm pretty sure mentions much of his life. (Including arrest and suicide)--T. Anthony (talk) 22:57, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That could be fine also. But for arguement sake do all these minor nobles and royalty get articles for?  Its because they were made famous because of their parents.  I'm trying to find articles written about his trial, but hard to track down British articles on the internet from that era.  Oh well.Callelinea (talk)

Keep, AfD, or Redirect
The decline of the prod indicated it could be sent to AfD. An idea considered here is making it a redirect to Nancy Astor, Viscountess Astor. And finally we could just keep as is.--T. Anthony (talk) 02:02, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I pulled the Prod on the technical grounds that it was not uncontroversial because of the talk page discussion. However, if it went to AfD, I think that it would have zero chance of surviving. Having said that, considering that this place is stuffed full of minor pop stars and the like, it wouldn't bother me if it just remained since, as you say, it is an interesting story. A good compromise solution would be to redirect to Nancy Astor, Viscountess Astor but add some key details by his entry. TerriersFan (talk) 02:20, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The article as written made no real claim of notability so I considered a speedy deletion. But I'm conservative in the way that I use my deletion tools, and since it had been around for a long time, and he was deceased, I decided to go the route of a Prod in case that someone had sources that would show notability independent of his family relationships. I agree that a redirect to FloNight♥♥♥♥ 18:57, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I have just created the article Robert Gould Shaw II. Information about both of RGS II's marriages and both of his progeny is in that article, including all of the content of the RGS III article. My recommendation is to make RGS III a redirect to the RGS II article. DiverDave (talk) 14:18, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I was not aware his Dad was notable. I will test this idea of redirect.--T. Anthony (talk) 09:31, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Fergman is a dumb nickname I got in middle school; I added the 3001 because I needed to add a number to it and I didn't want a random number (fergman18 just doesn't cut it for me). Fergman kind of sounds like a superhero, and 3001 makes it seem like those superhero comics set in the future (Spiderman 3000 or 3030, whatever it is). I use this name for just about everything I need a user name for.

Judica-Cordiglia brothers

The Judica-Cordiglia brothers are two Italian former amateur radio operators who made audio recordings which allegedly support the conspiracy theory that the Soviet space program covered up cosmonaut deaths in the 1960s. The pair claimed to have recorded several failed secret Soviet space missions. These recordings have been the center of public interest for more than 50 years.

Background
Achille (1933-2015) and his brother Giovanni Battista (1939-2024) set up their own experimental listening station just outside Turin in the late 1950s. The brothers used a disused German bunker at a site named Torre Bert. Working with scavenged and improvised equipment, they claimed to have successfully monitored transmissions from the Soviet Sputnik program (1 & 2) and Explorer 1, the first American satellite, in 1958 using equipment that recorded flight information such as telemetry, voice recordings and visual data.

Recordings
In the 1960s, the brothers released recordings alleged to be radio communications taken from secret Soviet Union space missions, including the purported dying sounds of a suffocating lost cosmonaut. As compiled by Kris Hollington of the Fortean Times, a British monthly magazine that popularizes "anomalous phenomena", the quoted list of these is as follows: May 1960 Unnamed cosmonaut lost when his orbiting space capsule veered off course.

November 1960 The brothers picked up an SOS message in Morse code from a troubled spacecraft.

February 1961 Recorded the suffocation of a cosmonaut.

April 1961 Just prior to Yuri Gagarin’s flight, a capsule circled the Earth three times before re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere.

May 1961 Weak calls for help from an orbiting capsule.

October 1961 A Soviet spacecraft veered off course and vanished into deep space.

November 1962 A space capsule bounced off the Earth’s atmosphere during re-entry and disappeared.

May 1963 Unnamed female cosmonaut perished on re-entry.

April 1964 Cosmonaut lost when capsule burnt up on re-entry.

In The 28 November 1960 recording, a faint SOS Morse Code signal has been purportedly sent from a troubled spacecraft leaving Earth's orbit.

Skepticism over the recordings
There have been inconsistencies in the recordings. For instance, audio transcripts reveal that none of the cosmonauts, who were supposed to be Soviet air force pilots, followed standard communication protocols, such as identifying themselves when speaking or using correct technical terminology. Likewise, some of the recordings contain disjointed sentences and grammatical errors, and the speaker has an accent that does not sound Russian. Given the secrecy surrounding the Soviet space program at the time, the US intelligence community considered the claims plausible, but subsequent mass declassification of Soviet documents provided no evidence for the existence of the Lost Cosmonauts.

Legacy
Fortean Times published an article on the brothers and their recordings of lost cosmonauts in March 2008.

In 2011, the brothers' story was featured on the Science Channel TV show, Dark Matters: Twisted But True.

In March 2020, Giovanni Battista was interviewed by Vice regarding the brothers' story on the Extremes podcast Season 2 Episode 25 titled "Mystery of the Lost Cosmonauts". It was also featured on a Vice article titled "These Brothers Were Eavesdropping on Space Transmissions When They Heard Cries for Help", as an accompaniment to the podcast episode.

The 2024 Apple TV+ series Constellation includes recordings of a lost female cosmonaut as a major plot point, and recreates the brothers' alleged 1961 recording.

Stop changing the potcrest message
I am alumni of Penncrest. and when I went there it was called Potcrest because of the high quality and avaliability of marijuana. Its not vandalism its fact.

 * While it may be true that some call it "potcrest," it is not a verifiable claim, and does not belong on a wikipedia article. Thanks Surfeited 00:00, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I can confirm that it is the year 2021 and we do indeed still refer to our beloved school as "Potcrest." Sincerely, a current Penncrest student.

The Truth about Penncrest
Who would know the honest to God truth about this high school, Penncrest High, better than the alumni? You can not bury the truth by clicking the delete key. This school was in fact referred to as "Potcrest" not only by the students that attended, but also the surrounding region. This is a fact. It does not matter if the mere mentioning of "marijuana" or "pot" makes you nervous. Timidity and taboo are no reason to cover up historical fact and truth. Stop altering our web site!

Proud Alumni
I for one am proud to be an Alumni of Potcrest, and whoever this dude is who keeps changing it back should step off and allow Potcrest to flourish for what it really is. A really lame school run by Nazi's where the only way the students can get through their day is by getting high. That's what life's all about when you get right down to it... getting high.

Philostorgius

Philostorgius (Φιλοστόργιος; 368 – c. 439 AD) was an Anomoean Church historian of the 4th and 5th centuries.

Very little information about his life is available. He was born in Borissus, Cappadocia to Eulampia and Carterius, and lived in Constantinople from the age of twenty. He is said to have come from an Arian family, and in Constantinople soon attached himself to Eunomius of Cyzicus, who received much praise from Philostorgius in his work.

He wrote a history of the Arian controversy titled Church History (Ἐκκλησιαστικὴ ἱστορία, Ekklēsiastikē Historia). Philostorgius' original appeared between 425 and 433, in other words, slightly earlier than the History of Socrates of Constantinople, and was formed in twelve volumes bound in two books. The original is now lost. However, the ninth-century historian Photius found a copy in his library in Constantinople, and wrote an epitome of it. Others also borrowed from Philostorgius, most notably the author of the Artemii Passio (Artemius being a legendary martyr under Julian the Apostate), and so, despite the eventual disappearance of the original text, it is possible to form some idea of what it contained by reviewing the epitome and other references. This reconstruction of what might have been in the text was first published, in German, by the Belgian philologist Joseph Bidez in 1913; a third, revised edition of his work undertaken by Friedhelm Winkelmann was published in 1981; this edition has recently been translated into English by Philip R. Amidon.

He also wrote a treatise against Porphyry, which is completely lost.

Value
Philostorgius' account of the emperor Constantine I's death is not corroborated by any other extant source. He reports that Constantine was poisoned by his family members and subsequently avenged by his son Constantius II, who is portrayed sympathetically by Philostorgius. Other historians say that Constantius instigated of the murders of his male relatives following Constantine's death, but only in Philostorgius' version are the murders justified.

Philostorgius' tale must be false, since Constantius' "official version" denied any involvement in the murders, calling his relatives the innocent victims of an army mutiny. Varying suggestions have been given for the origins of this rumor. Burgess believed it was a later invention when Constantius' role in the murders could no longer be plausibly denied, while Crawford thought it was used to motivate the soldiers to murder Constantius' relatives.

In other cases, however, what Philostorgius says is consistent with what other sources say. For instance, Ammianus Marcellinus' statement that Gratian supervised his younger brother's education lines up with Philostorgius, who disliked Gratian, admitting that he "discharged the duty of a father" towards him.

IBM Lotus Freelance Graphics

Lotus Freelance Graphics is an information graphics and presentation program developed by Lotus Software (formerly Lotus Development Corp.) following its acquisition of Graphic Communications Inc in 1986. It was first released for DOS and OS/2 operating systems, then later released as part of the Lotus SmartSuite for Microsoft Windows. (In a reference to its original developer, Graphic Communications Inc., Freelance's executable file was named GCIFL.)

Pre-Windows versions of Lotus Freelance Graphics included mouse support (provided a mouse driver for the OS had also been installed). However, many users considered the 'points and vector' graphics application easier and faster from the keyboard, as it utilized many keyboard shortcuts.

The Windows-compatible version allowed users to create and compile text, digital images, diagrams, basic drawings and charts (such as bar charts and pie charts) into a digital slide show. It was originally a drawing tool, but was enhanced to include charting by either manually inputting data or importing data from the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program.

Freelance worked within DOS to produce slides comparable to those of Microsoft PowerPoint, a program originally created for the Macintosh. Because Lotus opted to develop Freelance for OS/2, Microsoft got a head start developing and promoting the Windows version of its application. When IBM then acquired Lotus, Microsoft used a licensing issue to delay IBM's access to the Windows 95 code base, allowing Microsoft Office to be released six months ahead of Lotus SmartSuite. As a result, when OS/2 failed to gain widespread adoption, Freelance became a little-used application.

Freelance was eventually grafted into a new version of 1-2-3 for Windows (Smart Suite), but by then PowerPoint and Excel had become dominant. Freelance's files were much smaller (typically 50 KB for a full presentation) compared to the competition's, allowing 20 or more presentations to be stored on a single floppy disc. However, the quality of the Freelance product eventually deteriorated as IBM's support of SmartSuite dwindled.

Audic rizk
Vanity article (author is Audic rizk); does not appear to be notable (25 unique Google hits); images have copyright notice. MCB 22:52, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment: They try to make themselves sound like a big deal with this sentence: "Represented by the Christine Colas gallery in Paris, they exhibit regularly in Europe, the Middle East and Japan."  I don't have the expertise to know whether this, if true, would make them significant in any way or not.   Friday (talk) 22:59, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment Very easy to check the truth of the information. Try Google!! pictures and links to the names of galleries and exhibitions are proof of their activity. As for the vanity article. It is not the quantity of google pages but the quality of the work and the possibility to create links from it which should be the question. It is preferable to be transparent and show the author as user than useless misleading by creating another Author. Wikipedia is surely not a place where someone puts adds on himself, nevertheless it is one way of getting into the wiki world and starting to collaborate.(Audic Rizk)
 * The question is not proof of "activity", which is manifest, nor the quality of the work (which I find quite appealing); it is whether it is well-known, widely written about, or the subject of media interest and art criticism, and so forth, and thus appropriate for an encyclopedia article. So yes, to some extent quantity is important. Writing and posting a article about yourself or your business creates the appearance of a "vanity" or self-promotional article. I would recommend moving this to User space ("userfy"). MCB 06:50, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * September 30th was an exceptionally busy AfD day. So this debate among several got almost no attention. Relisting in hope of some tender, loving debate this time around. -Splash talk 00:00, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Good art, exhibits may be real, but there's not enough notability to make any of the article verifiable.  Almost notable is still non-notable.  Perhaps with some published critical reviews...  --A D Monroe III 01:53, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete NN, reads like an ad. --Rogerd 02:08, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The authors of this page have had plenty of time now to cite independent sources for the facts on the page and have not. The information isn't therefore verifiable. (Frequently happens with non-notable topics, yeah?) The quality of the artwork is absolutely not a criteria here. Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:29, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Too much like an ad. I would just say cleanup but the notability question looms too. Qaz  ( talk ) 08:00, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable photographers, advertising. It is verifiable, however. Andrew pmk | Talk 16:54, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Show me how to verify "Their photos [...] carry within them delirious derivatives going from painting to oneirism which nonetheless embody a tangible reality." Without the nonverifiable fluff, this page is one or two sentenses long. Bunchofgrapes (talk) 18:16, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or Userfy, as above. MCB 06:33, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Leisha Hailey

Marfa Records
Leisha Hailey confirmed in an Irish interview on 02/03/08 that she was no longer connected with Marfa Records.

"That's not happening anymore. I don't know what I was thinking" was her comment.

Gay in Intro
Wouldn't she have to be famous for being gay to put it in the introduction? It seems out of place there, but maybe it should just be worked into the first sentence. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 13:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Deja fu

It has been suggested that this article be merged with minor Discworld concepts. If a merge does take place, perhaps some or all of this information be merged with either History Monks or Lu-Tze. Lu-Tze is possibly the only person who practices this (Can't remember exactly from the books), either way it's unique to the History Monkss. -=# Amos E Wolfe talk #=- 22:54, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was REDIRECT to Comedy film, content is already there. -Splash talk 23:41, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Adult comedy film
This isn't really a genuine film genre. Seems to be inspired by the release of The Wedding Crashers. JW 22:55, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Comedy film under the 2000s section of the timeline. It's not really even much of a sub-genre, more of a buzzword for capturing older demographics with comedy films.  Still there's a trend in the media of mentioning the term  and there's an increasing rate of R-rated comedies coming out. Anetode 23:27, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect per Anetode. :) — RJH 19:40, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
