Princess Angeline

Princess Angeline (c. 1820 – May 31, 1896), also known in Lushootseed as Kikisoblu, Kick-is-om-lo, or Wewick, was the eldest daughter of Chief Seattle.

Biography
She was born around 1820 to Chief Seattle in what is now Rainier Beach in Seattle, Washington. She was named Angeline by Catherine Broshears Maynard, the second wife of Doc Maynard. In 1856, during the Puget Sound War, she is said to have conveyed a warning from her father to the citizens of Seattle regarding an imminent attack by a large native coalition force. Thanks to this warning, the settlers and neutral native tribespeople were able to protect themselves during the resulting Battle of Seattle.

The 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott required that all Duwamish Indians leave their land for reservations, but Kikisoblu remained in Seattle in a waterfront cabin on Western Avenue between Pike and Pine Streets, near what is now Pike Place Market. She did laundry and sold handwoven baskets. Like her father, Kikisoblu became a Christian and remained a Roman Catholic until her death on May 31, 1896. She was buried (in a canoe-shaped coffin) in Lake View Cemetery on Capitol Hill, next to Henry Yesler. Years later, Seattle schoolchildren raised money for a headstone.

The Chronicle of Holy Names Academy reported: May 29, 1896. With the death of Angeline Seattle died the last of the direct descendants of the great Chief Seattle for whom this city was named. Angeline—Princess Angeline—as she was generally called, was famous all over the world… Angeline was a familiar figure of the streets, bent and wrinkled, a red handkerchief over her head, a shawl about her, walking slowly and painfully with the aid of a cane; it was no infrequent sight to see this poor old Indian woman seated on the sidewalk devoutly reciting her beads. The kindness and generosity of Seattle's people toward the daughter of the chief… was shown in her funeral obsequies which took place from the Church of Our Lady of Good Help. The church was magnificently decorated; on the somber draped catafalque in a casket in the form of a canoe rested all that was mortal of Princess Angeline.

Legacy
S. Angeline Street on Seattle's Beacon Hill and in Columbia City and Seward Park was named after Princess Angeline. Also Angeline and S. Angeline in her Tribal home land of Suquamish (Kitsap County). She also appears in the Cherie Priest novel Boneshaker.

In photos, Kikisoblu most often appears wearing a red bandana, shawl, and many layers of clothing. She was photographed by people such as F. Jay Haynes, Edwin J. Bailey, Frank La Roche, Edward S. Curtis, and others.

In Seattle, the YWCA has a Belltown shelter named Angeline's Day Center for Women for her. It provides support for homeless women and transitional housing guidance.

Due to the close relationship between Seattle's indigenous population and the region's orca population, one of the Southern resident orcas, J17, was nicknamed Princess Angeline after Kikisoblu. J17's fourth calf, J53 Kiki, was also named after Kikisoblu.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-10-10/Candidate statements

This week, 172 created the candidate's statement page for the upcoming December 2005 elections. Other users agreed that with less than two months before voting, that the time was ideal for candidates to start listing themselves.

At press time, thirteen candidates had listed themselves: 172 (statement), Ambi (statement), Carbonite (statement), Everyking (statement), Filiocht (statement), Ilyanep (statement), Jtkiefer (statement), Luigi30 (statement), Merovingian (statement), Ral315 (statement), Redwolf24 (statement), Snowspinner (statement), and Talrias (statement).

Though Redwolf24 withdrew from the election after being criticized for a joke that some felt was disruptive, he decided to run again after receiving large amounts of support.

At first, an endorsements page (now deleted) was created for users to list votes of approval and disapproval; however, this was soon shut down amid calls for reform. The endorsements and disendorsements page was heavily criticized last year, and Jimbo even pleaded that the pages not be used. Consequently, the endorsements page was closed, and a subpage for each candidate where Wikipedians can ask questions to the candidate was created.

Also this week, current Arbitrator David Gerard announced that he would not be running for re-election, citing work pressures and burnout. This brings the total number of Arbitrators who have announced that they will not be returning to office to three: Gerard, Nohat, and Maveric149.

Iandaandi (talk) 02:38, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Support, obviously. This should just have been speedily moved as a typo, via WP:RM/TR. I've been studying Art Nouveau and its Asian relatives my whole life, and don't recall ever seeing Japonism in this context, which is some kind of (probably Wikipedian-invented) "Franglais".  An uncommon English-only actual cognate is Japanism, but this term is mostly applied to something else entirely (it's used as a socio-political label, though I did turn up a single art book in English using it; it also can mean the same things as Nipponism, mentioned below). In reality, almost all English-language sources on art and design use the French term japonisme, but usually capitalized in English  (along with the related Chinoiserie ). Japonisme is nearly never used in English except in this arts context. I can't find much for Japonism beyond a modern music album by Taro Hakase, and another by Arashi. I did find a single humanities book, Orienting Arthur Waley: Japonism, Orientalism, and the Creation of Japanese Literature in English, but it's unconnected to our topic, since it's about writing, not the visual arts. An alternative French term is japonaiserie, but this is rare in English sources, and not even common in French ones, despite being more consistent which chinoiserie. Digging about further, I think what has happened here is sister-project WP:CIRCULAR: while Japonisme somehow remained a redlink (I just fixed that), someone created a Japonism page (without any sourcing, yet with the dubious claim that it's our art term, when actual sources use it for something else entirely), and then someone (else, or same person – I decline to check) put the en.WP article at the same spelling, despite RS going about 99% in favor of Japonisme. PS: I thought to look for Nipponism, just in case; it's attested but rare, and does not appear to be connected to art, but has been used instead (mostly by academics) as generic label to refer to Japanese customs/traditions, and more specifically in linguistics to refer to a Japanese loan-word or -phrase in another language or vice versa.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  11:34, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Excessive galleries
I get that articles about the visual arts need a lot of images, and are a great opportunity to show off images that have been shared with us thanks to GLAM partnerships. However, in some articles galleries are over-used in a way that detracts from the article, and the present state of this article is an example. Galleries after the main body text are a good idea, and we have one of those, but we also have a gallery under Seclusion and another under Nineteenth century re-opening. These are large enough break up the flow of text. I'm going to be bold and move images around. Happy if someone wants to revert and discuss towards a different solution. MartinPoulter (talk) 12:10, 28 May 2020 (UTC) Also noting that some image captions give excessive detail about the objects, which belongs in the item's record on Commons (users who are curious about an object's dimensions should be able to find out just by clicking) but are not essential to the article.

I agree with the latest reversion. Asbjørnsen and Moe were distinct individuals, and their biographies should not be merged. --Leifern 00:00, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Removed the following from Peter Christen Asbjørnsen
I removed the following paras from the article about Asbjørnsen while cleaning up that article, as they would fit better in this article. If someone by any chance edits this article before I get a chance to do so, please add them in some way:

'' From 1841 to 1882 Moe travelled almost every summer through the southern parts of Norway, collecting traditions in the mountains. In 1845 he was appointed professor of theology in the Military Shool of Norway. He had, however, long intended to take holy oders, and in 1853 he did so, becoming for ten years a resident chaplain in Sigdal, and then (1863) parish priest of Bragernes. He was moved in 1870 to the parish of Vestre Aker, near Christiania, and in 1875 he was appointed bishop of Christiansand. In January 1882 he resigned his diocese on account of failing Health, and died on the following 27th of March. ''

''Moe has a special claim on critical attention in regard to his lyrical poems, of which a small collection appeared in 1850. He wrote little original verse, but in his slender volume are to be found many pieces of exquisite delicacy and freshness. Moe also published a delightful collection of prose stories for children, In the Well and the Churn (I Bronde og i Kjcernet), 1851; and A Little Christmas Present (En liden Julegave), 1860. Asbjornsen and Moe had the advantage of an admirable style in narrative prose. It was usual that the vigour came from Asbjornsen and the charm from Moe, but it seems that from the long habit of writing in unison they had come to adopt almost precisely identical modes of literary expression.

Akademicheskaya (Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line)

Akademicheskaya (Академи́ческая, ,English: Academy's) is a station on the Moscow Metro's Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Line. It is named for the several Akademichesky Proyezd streets formerly located nearby, which were themselves named after the Russian Academy of Sciences but have all been renamed since. Akademicheskaya opened on October 13, 1962, and was designed by Yuliya Kolesnikova, Petukhova, and Fokina. Built to the relatively new pillar-trispan design (aka Sorokonozhka, centipede), which became prevalent in the 1960s due to its low construction costs. The station has white marble pillars accented with a stripe of black marble near the top. The walls, originally faced with white tile with four horizontal blue stripes, were re-covered in 2003 with similarly coloured aluminium planes for a cleaner, more modern look.

The entrances to the station are located around Ho Chi Minh Square, at the intersection of Profsoyuznaya and Dmitriy Ulyanov streets. Currently the station serves 67,400 passengers daily.

In 2024, a transfer to Akademicheskaya on the Troitskaya line is planned.

Vexillum

The vexillum (: vexilla) was a flag-like object used as a military standard by units in the Roman army. A common vexillum displayed imagery of the Roman aquila on a reddish backdrop.

Use in Roman army

The word vexillum is a derivative of the Latin word, velum, meaning a sail, which confirms the historical evidence (from coins and sculpture) that vexilla were literally "little sails": flag-like standards. In the vexillum, the cloth was draped from a horizontal crossbar suspended from a staff. That is unlike most modern flags in which the "hoist" of the cloth is attached directly to a vertical staff. The bearer of a vexillum was known as a vexillarius or vexillifer.

Just as in the case of the regimental colors or flags of early modern Western regiments, the vexillum was a treasured symbol of the military unit that it represented and it was closely defended in combat. It was the main standard of some types of units, especially cavalry; however, it was regarded as less important than a legion's aquila, or eagle, and may have represented a subdivision of a legion. However, that is not entirely clear from surviving sources (see vexillatio).

The only existent Roman military vexillum is dated to the first half of the 3rd century CE and is housed in the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. It is an almost square piece of coarse linen cloth with the image of the goddess Victoria and measures 47×50 cm. The lower edge has the remains of a fringe. The vexillum was once attached to a piece of reed wood. It is unknown to which military unit the vexillum belonged. The vexillum was found in Egypt shortly before 1911, but its exact provenance is also unclear.

Appearance
It is sometimes reported that the vexillum of the Ancient Roman Republic was red in colour and had the letters SPQR (which means "the Senate and People of Rome") in yellow on it, however "it is difficult to find any evidence that they were ever on military flags carried by the army." This is simply the appearance of the only vexillum discovered so far, and it may not be consistent across other vexilla.

General and later use

The term vexillum (plural vexilla) is used more generally for any object, such as a relic or icon, used as a standard in battle, and may be considered the offensive equivalent of the more defensive palladium in this context.

Vexillology, or the study of flags, derives its name from this word and a vexilloid is a standard that is not of conventional flag form.

Nearly all of the present-day regions of Italy preserve the use of vexilla. Many Christian processional banners are in the vexillum form; usually these banners are termed labara (λάβαρον) after the standard adopted by the first Christian Roman emperor Constantine I replaced the usual spear point with the "Chi-Rho" symbol ☧. For example, a vexillum is used by the Legion of Mary as the term for its standards. A small version is used on the altar and a larger one leads processions. In the Middle Ages, the type of banner draped from a horizontal crossbar became known as a gonfalon.

 * Vexillum (gastropod) – a genus of snails in the family Costellariidae

Operation: Galactic Storm

"Operation: Galactic Storm" is a 19-part comic book crossover storyline which ran through Marvel Comics' Avengers related titles – Avengers, Avengers West Coast, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Wonder Man, and Quasar – between March and May 1992.

The storyline, which involves the Avengers intervening in an intergalactic war between the alien Kree and Shi'ar empires, is notable for reigniting the longstanding antagonism between Captain America and Iron Man and its impact upon the status quo for Marvel's alien empires, with the Shi'ar annexing the Kree Empire.

The overarching plotline was devised by Mark Gruenwald, Bob Harras, and Fabian Nicieza, though each individual issue was written and drawn by the regular creative teams on each title.

Publication history
The title of the storyline is an allusion to Operation: Desert Storm, the Pentagon's operational title for the 1991 Gulf War, which had been recently resolved when the idea for "Operation: Galactic Storm" was conceived. Although the phrase is featured in the storyline (it is the name the Avengers give to their own deployment) the plot bears no real relation to the Gulf conflict and was apparently not intended to have any overt parallels with it, save the obvious fact that "Operation: Galactic Storm" also involved a major conflict.

In fact, the crossover was in many ways a sequel to a previous Avengers story - the 1971/1972 "Kree-Skrull War". Like the previous story, "Operation: Galactic Storm" features the Avengers getting caught in the middle of a cosmic war waged between two alien empires - this time the Kree and the Shi'ar (rather than the Kree/Skrull conflict featured in its predecessor) - because that war endangers the safety of the planet Earth.

Mark Gruenwald has discussed the origins of the storyline as a Quasar story which was expanded when he (then Marvel's executive editor and writer of Captain America and Quasar), Bob Harras (at the time the Avengers writer and the X-Men line's editor), and Fabian Nicieza (then editor of Wonder Man and a writer of numerous non-Avengers books) were looking for an appropriate plot for a proposed Avengers crossover.

Harras's role was instrumental in approving the story. As the X-Men editor, he could authorize the extensive use of the Shi'ar, a race which until then had rarely appeared outside of the X-Men titles where they had made their debut.

The three creators mapped out the proposed storyline, which was further expanded at an "Avengers summit" when all the writers and editors whose series were involved in the crossover gathered together to further refine the plot.

Creators who contributed to the storyline included writers Gruenwald, Harras, Tom DeFalco, Gerard Jones, Len Kaminski, and Roy Thomas (who wrote the original Kree-Skrull War storyline); pencillers Greg Capullo, Steve Epting, Ron Frenz, Jeff Johnson, Rik Levins, Pat Olliffe, David Ross, and Paul Ryan; and editors Nicieza, Ralph Macchio, Nel Yomtov, and Kelly Corvese.

The storyline was tightly plotted so that each issue was supposed to carry the story forward in some way. Each character's characterization was kept largely consistent with their portrayals from their ongoing titles and long developing themes and storylines (such as the strained relationship between Captain America and Iron Man following the "Armor Wars", the Avengers strict "no killing" rule, the Kree's genetic problems, etc.) were updated and further developed.

The war reaches Earth
The plot begins in Captain America #398 (March 1992) with the kidnapping of Rick Jones by Shi'ar agents intent on recovering Kree artifacts to aid them in the construction of a superweapon. In the course of rescuing Jones, Captain America discovers that a conflict has begun between the alien Kree and Shi'ar empires.

In Quasar #32 (March 1992) Captain America's fellow Avenger Quasar discovers that the use of a nearby stargate by the warring factions is destabilizing Earth's Sun. The Avengers gather and resolve to intervene in the conflict to try to ensure the safety of their solar system either by bringing about a truce or by diverting the two empires from using the nearby stargate.

The Avengers assemble
In Avengers #345 (March 1992) a gathering of over twenty Avengers is divided into three teams to deal with the threat. One of the teams stays on Earth to protect the planet for the duration of the conflict, while the other two are sent to the Shi'ar and Kree homeworlds via the Stargate to try to negotiate with the two empire's leaders.

The "Earth team" is led by the Wasp and includes the Falcon, Henry Pym, Gilgamesh, Mockingbird, She-Hulk, Spider-Woman, and U.S. Agent. Quasar, Her and Binary also remain in the Solar System to guard the stargates.

The "Shi'ar Team" is led by Captain Marvel and includes the Living Lightning, the Scarlet Witch, Starfox, Thor, Vision, and Wonder Man.

Finally, the "Kree Team" is led by Captain America and includes the Black Knight, Crystal, Goliath, Hercules, Iron Man, and Sersi.

In the story, U.S. Agent is originally assigned to the "Kree Team" and Hawkeye to the "Earth Team", but Clint Barton (Hawkeye's real identity) perceives this as a slight and is given some Pym Particles by Hank Pym so that he might increase his superhuman abilities (and thus qualify for inclusion on the "Kree Team") by re-assuming his Goliath identity.

This is one of the story's few overt references to the original "Kree-Skrull War" storyline, as Barton appears as Goliath in that storyline as well (something which Barton and Pym comment on in the story).

The Kree-Shi'ar War
The Kree and Shi'ar Avengers teams go on to encounter the various factions (including their own super-powered teams, Starforce and the Imperial Guard, respectively) and are largely unsuccessful in engaging them in negotiations. Captain America's team are repeatedly captured and imprisoned by the Kree authorities while Captain Marvel's team engages in a number of short battles with various Shi'ar forces.

During the course of these encounters it is revealed that the Shi'ar has managed to create a massive super weapon—the "Nega-Bomb"— using Kree artifacts including the original Captain Marvel's Nega-Bands which has been stolen from the dead hero's tomb. This bomb is capable of devastating an area equivalent to that of the Kree Empire (which is supposedly located throughout the Large Magellanic Cloud).

Also during the conflict, the Kree's military leaders are assassinated by the Shi'ar agent Deathbird, the Supreme Intelligence regains (temporary) control of the Kree forces, and Skrull agents are revealed to be surreptitiously manipulating the court of the Shi'ar Majestrix Lilandra into escalating the conflict.

Eventually, Captain Marvel's Avengers delegation manages to convince Lilandra to try to begin peace negotiations with the Kree. However, by this point, the Nega-Bomb has been stolen by Skrull agents and her efforts to recall the weapon fail.

Despite the presence of Avengers members Wonder Man and the Vision in the Nega-Bomb's massive interior, the device is successfully detonated in Wonder Man #9 (May 1992). The Kree Empire is devastated by its effects, with billions dying instantaneously.

In Avengers #347 (May 1992) the various Avengers (all of whom manage to survive the bomb's effects; the Vision turned intangible, Wonder Man's ionic body absorbed the released energy, Sersi turned the rest of the Kree team into inanimate matter, and the Shi'ar team hadn't arrived on the scene yet) gather on Hala, the Kree homeworld, and discover that most of the events of the war- up to and including the Nega-Bomb's detonation- have been manipulated and engineered by the Kree Supreme Intelligence. This creature, an amalgam of the consciousness of thousands of generations of Kree military leaders, calculated that the bomb's radioactive effects would serve to jumpstart the Kree race's evolution which had previously been thought stalled.

Horrified by this revelation, and faced with the problem with what to do now with the captured Supreme Intelligence, a group of Avengers decides that the Supreme Intelligence should be killed for its act of genocide.

Disagreeing with this idea completely, Captain America holds a vote, and when a majority of Avengers agree that killing the Intelligence is not appropriate, he orders that no Avenger should kill the creature. Iron Man refuses to follow this order (invoking his seniority as a founding member), and he and the other dissenting Avengers- Black Knight, Hercules, Sersi, Thor, Vision, and Wonder Man attempt to terminate the creature, apparently succeeding.

A Shi'ar delegation then appears and announces that they will annex the devastated Kree Empire, with Lilandra's sister Deathbird becoming viceroy of the Kree territories. The Avengers return to Earth divided and disillusioned by the events of the storyline, and the consciousness of the Supreme Intelligence is shown to have survived and escaped to a waiting spaceship crewed by Skrulls.

Aftermath of the war
The immediate aftermath of the storyline is explored in the Captain America and Quasar titles. Captain America #401 (June 1992) examines the effects of the conflict on Captain America, such as his disappointment in those teammates who disobeyed his orders and in the Avengers group as a whole.

Quasar #35 and #36 (June - July 1992) explores the larger repercussions of the storyline: the effect on the wider cosmos of the Nega-Bomb explosion and the sudden death of billions of lifeforms and the collapse of a major space empire.

Other comics which tie directly into the events of "Operation Galactic Storm" include Silver Surfer (vol. 2) #79 (April 1993) which features the return of two Kree characters, Doctor Minerva and Captain Atlas, who are thought to have died at the conclusion of "Operation: Galactic Storm"; and X-Men Unlimited #5 (June 1994) which features the Shi'ar's formal ceremonies of the annexation of the Kree Empire into the Shi'ar empire, likewise Avengers Forever #8 (July 1997), features how the events of the crossover may lead (and led at least in one timeline) the Avengers to become a paramilitary group that controls a vast and repressive interstellar empire, Iron Man's actions at the time having been provoked by Immortus to create a crucial schism in the team that would prevent them from following this path.

Sequels
In a more general sense, the implications and repercussions of the events depicted in the crossover have had a wide and continuing effect on many stories set in the Marvel Universe, most especially stories featuring the Kree, Shi'ar, and Skrull as the events of the crossover changed the status quo of each of those races to varying degrees.

Many subsequent Avengers storylines feature attempts by surviving Kree to exact revenge on the Avengers team for their supposed role in the Nega-Bomb's detonation, more specifically Avengers #364-366 and the 1998 four-part Avengers crossover Live Kree or Die!. The former, would introduce Deathcry to the Avengers, a Shi'ar rebel who would be part of a secret movement that sought to help the Kree who were suffering under Shi'ar rule. Deathcry would ultimately leave the Avengers in Avengers #389, in order to help fight alongside the Kree.

The crossover event "Maximum Security" and its prequel, "Avengers Forever" would ultimately restore the Kree Empire to its former glory. Using the Time Crystal acquired in "Avengers Forever", the Supreme Intelligence would rapidly evolve the Kree to a new monstrous form known as the Ruul. Pretending to be a newly discovered species, the Ruul would reveal themselves to be the Kree. They manipulate the Galactic Council, a coalition of the universe's oldest planetary ruling powers, into turning Earth into a prison planet for alien criminals and briefly merge a spore of Ego the Living Planet with humanity's world, so as to turn Ego into a weapon for the Kree and eliminating the Terran threat to their plans. Revealing their true identities, the Kree launched a galaxy-wide invasion of all of the major rival empires, reclaiming much of their lost territories and establishing a new Kree empire. However, Earth's mightiest heroes would be able to liberate Earth and free it from Ego, denying them a major weapon.

Talk:Gersonides

A Talmudist?
I know of know actual evidence that Ralbag was a talmudist and will be removing this claim from the opening paragraph until it can be substantiated. I know that later authorities claimed him to be a Talmudist, but this has little support (and is likely out of a desire that popular parshanim also be famous in the talmud world, which Rashi was, but Ibn Ezra, Ralbag, etc, were not). jnothman talk 00:55, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Gershon or Gershom?
It would appear that the name could be more correctly spelled with an "n", as in fact the name "Gersonides" suggests. 132.70.50.117 (talk) 13:15, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Louis Jacobs is certainly not the founder of Conservative Judaism!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.231.102.196 (talk) 16:27, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Louis Jacobs
I removed the sentence that suggested that Orthodox theologians might disagree with the interpretation of Jacobs. First, speculation seemed to me improper. If someone has disagreed with Jacobs, they should be cited. Further, if there really is a difference of opinion, the grounds on which the two camps disagree (the relative passage in Gersonides) might have to be adduced. As I'm relatively new here, I'd love to see feedback on whether I did well here or not, and also whether or not, in the absence of cited debate, the qualifier "LJ argued" should be there or not... but it seemed to me wrong to include this hypothetical, as well as extraneous information about Jacobs (some of which is dubious, too), especially info. that implies he's got a bias without arguing it...Summortus (talk) 18:42, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Jacob's staff quote
This quote has been marked as needing a citation since April 2009. This quote appears verabatim in a Daily Medieval blog from July 2012, as Rabbi Levi's own description, citing Book of the Wars of the Lord - Rabbi Levi's main work.

In that case, this must be a quote from Bernard Goldstein's The Astronomy of Levi ben Gerson (1288-1344), which apparently consists of a translation of the otherwise unpublished astronomical portion (Book 5, Part 1) of the Wars of the Lord. I cannot find the quote by searching Google Books' snippet-view version of the book. Does anyone have a hard copy? (The relevant quote would be in chapters 4–11, which are said by various sources to describe the Jacob's staff.)

הסרפד (Hasirpad) [formerly Ratz...bo] 06:30, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Forgot to update: with the help of volunteers at WP:REX, I checked sections of the Wars of the Lord, but the quotation is not there. הסרפד  (call me Hasirpad) 01:28, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Estimation of stellar distances
Moved from article:

 * You state that Gersonides calculated that the stars were 10 billion times farther away from Earth than what Ptolemy claimed, i.e. in the order of 100 light years. This should be about 100,000 light years (107,055 to be more precise).

 * As the mean radius is about 6,370 km this works out to 127,323,954 km. Gersonides however took it to be more than 159 x 1012. So Gersonides works out to 1.012830 exp19 km. As a light year is 9.4608exp13 km it works out to 107,550 light years, which is indeed very close to 10 billion times as far as Ptolemy's distance.

as it seems more of a discussion point --Rumping (talk) 02:27, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

 * I haven't read the primary source, but as I happened to read this Wikipedia article, I noticed more or less the same discrepancy. I looked at what Yuval Ne'eman wrote (because the Wikipedia article cites it), but he doesn't seem to have it right.
 * The only distance to an extraterrestrial object that we can be pretty sure was known at Gersonides's time was the one to the Moon. But it was also known that the Sun is much farther away than the Moon (or at least the lunar distance estimates were usually based on that); Aristarchos of Samos estimated the ratio of the distances to be something on the order of 20 (which was far too low). As the celestial sphere of the fixed stars was thought to be outside the Sun and the planets, and assuming the value of 20 for the ratio of solar and lunar distance, the celestial sphere would have been assumed to be at least 7 million km away. If the factor of 100,000 (as stated in the article and by Ne'eman) is correct, that means that the distance estimate by Gersonides would be 70 quadrillion km, a bit more than 7000 lightyears. Even if we assume that other astronomers thought the celestial sphere to be almost as close as the Moon, then by the factor 100,000 Gersonides's estimate would still have been at about 400 lightyears, and I would feel uncomfortable calling that "of the order of 100 light-years" (on an order-of-magntitude (i.e. logarithmic) scale it's already closer to "of the order of 1,000 light-years").
 * Icek~enwiki (talk) 18:59, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

A summation theorem
A simple summation formula is mentioned in a guide on "reading mathematics" and attributed to Gersonides. I could only find a blog post proving the theorem, but unfortunately nothing more substantial. Is this formula usually attributed to Gersonides in lectures or textbooks (in the anglosphere)? Is it worth mentioning it in the wiki article here? Leonry (talk) 10:20, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

The Jungle (The Twilight Zone)

"The Jungle" is episode 77 of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone, and is the twelfth episode of the third season. It first aired on December 1, 1961. This teleplay was written by Charles Beaumont, based on his short story of the same name, and was directed by recurring director William F. Claxton.

Opening narration
The carcass of a goat, a dead finger, a few bits of broken glass and stone, and Mr. Alan Richards, a modern man of a modern age, hating with all his heart something in which he cannot believe and preparing – although he doesn't know it – to take the longest walk of his life, right down to the center – of The Twilight Zone.

Plot
Alan Richards and his wife Doris have recently returned from Africa, where Alan's company is constructing a hydroelectric dam. He discovers she has secretly kept several items given to her by a local shaman for protection. When he confronts her about them, she says she is frightened by the natives opposed to the dam and begs him to stop construction. He burns one of the items and opens the door to leave for work. In the hallway of his apartment building, just outside his door, is the carcass of a dead goat.

Alan attends a board meeting, where they discuss the dam and the fact that, although the natives will benefit from it in the long run, they are upset that they will be displaced in order to build it. He warns that the local witch doctors have threatened to use black magic against anyone associated with the project. When the other board members scoff, he points out their own superstitions: one carries a rabbit's foot, another practices astrology, and even the building does not have a 13th floor.

Later, he is in a bar drinking with a friend, and shows him a lion's-tooth amulet Doris has given him. Supposedly the tooth will protect him against a lion attack. Alan begins to head home but finds his car won't start. He attempts to return to the bar but it is locked and he has forgotten his lion's-tooth amulet inside. He attempts to use a pay phone, but it's out of order. As Alan walks away, the phone rings. He answers it and hears jungle sounds.

He heads home on foot, still hearing the jungles and tribal drums all around him, becoming nervous and agitated. He tries to take a taxi home, but the driver dies suddenly while stopped at a traffic light. Alan meets a bum and asks him about the jungle noises, which the bum claims not to hear. He offers the bum money to escort him through the park, but the bum disappears while Alan's back is turned.

Alan continues on, and finally reaches the safety of his apartment. The noises suddenly stop. Relieved, Alan enters and pours himself a drink. He hears a lion's roar from the bedroom. When he opens the bedroom door, he finds an adult male lion on the bed, as well as his wife's corpse, as the lion leaps toward him consuming his flesh offscreen.

Closing narration
Some superstitions, kept alive by the long night of ignorance, have their own special power. You'll hear of it through a jungle grapevine in a remote corner of the Twilight Zone.

Shōten

Shōten (笑点) is a Japanese TV comedy program that has been continuously broadcast on Sunday evenings on Nippon TV since 15 May 1966, making it the second-longest running variety TV show in Japan.

Format
The show is based on the Ogiri style of rakugo, a form of traditional Japanese storytelling. The ogiri system sees a host put questions to a panel of fellow rakugo storytellers who must produce a funny or witty response. Shoten's format thus sees the host—currently Shunpūtei Shōta—pose questions to six storytellers (known as "ogiri members") seated left to right (as the audience sees them) as follows: San'yūtei Koyūza (sky-blue kimono), Shunpūtei Ichinosuke (purple kimono), San'yūtei Kōraku (pink kimono), Hayashiya Kikuo (yellow kimono), Hayashiya Taihei (orange kimono), and Katsura Miyaji (light green kimono).

Rakugo performers such as Hayashiya Sanpei II, Katsura Utamaru, and San'yūtei Enraku VI were formerly part of the cast.

The rules are simple. In every 15-minute ogiri contest, the host will pose the ogiri members three questions. Each question can be answered an unlimited number of times by any member, and the custom is that everyone must answer each question at least once. Should a member wish to answer a question, he should simply raise his hand and wait to be called by the host. Should the resultant answer be funny or witty, the member will receive one or more floor cushions (zabuton) - the number increasing with the level of audience response and the host's own amusement or admiration. The floor cushion is brought to the stage by hapless sidekick Takao Yamada, formerly a successful popstar with the 70s idol group Zūtorubi, but now confined to an object of ridicule in his red kimono. Should, on the other hand, a member's answer fall flat with the audience, be excessively distasteful, or be construed as insulting to the host or fellow members, the member will lose one or more floor cushions. On some extreme occasions, the host may confiscate everyone's zabuton if he deems that all the members have conspired to humiliate him. This phenomenon is often referred by the public jokingly as a "genocide", and in most cases as an "Utamaru genocide", since previous host Katsura Utamaru was the first to order a complete confiscation of the entire cast's zabuton in 2006 after San'yūtei Enraku VI (then known as San'yūtei Rakutarō), in concert with the other members, compared the elderly host to a "talking corpse". Indeed, Enraku was particularly renowned during Utamaru's tenure as host for frequently insulting Utamaru with his characteristically merciless wit and accuracy, often resulting in the confiscation of all of his zabuton. It is also noteworthy that Utamaru's last act as a host was to commit a final "genocide" after San'yūtei Koyūza jokingly asked Utamaru to have sex with him, much to Utamaru's disgust.

The zabuton used are supposedly extra-heavy ones weighing 4 kg (9 pounds), so even a stack of ten or more will not topple. Should an ogiri member acquire 10 zabuton, he is entitled to that day's special prize, which is usually related to a famous quote, such as 'Boys, Be Ambitious'. Since Utamaru was notoriously keen on removing zabuton, especially from the intelligent yet arrogant Enraku, it is very rare for anyone to actually achieve the magical 10.

The show is also famous for its catchy theme music written by Hachidai Nakamura. This music has been continuously broadcast since 1969. The titles are written in edomoji, but were originally written to show an animated smiling face.

Rick McCosker

Richard Bede McCosker (born 11 December 1946) is a former Australian cricketer. He was a part of the Australian squad which finished as runners-up at the 1975 Cricket World Cup.

McCosker played in 25 Test matches and 14 One Day Internationals in a career spanning 1975 to 1982, playing as a right hand batsman.

He is well remembered for playing in the 1977 Centenary Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground after he had his jaw broken by a bouncer off Bob Willis in the 1st innings. In the second innings he batted at number ten in bandages with his jaw wired shut, making 25, and sharing a 54 run partnership for the ninth wicket in with Rod Marsh. This was a crucial contribution in a tight match which Australia won by 45 runs.

He also played in the World Series Cricket team, and was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1976.

He is depicted by Aidan March in the Channel 9 series Howzat! Kerry Packer's War.

Career
McCosker was born in Inverell. He moved to Sydney aged 21 to work in a bank. It took him six years to graduate from grade cricket to the NSW side.

He was selected as 12th man for NSW in 1973-74

He scored a century in his debut first class game.

Test Debut
McCosker started the 1974-75 season brilliantly scoring 682 runs. He was picked in the Australian side for the fourth test against England replacing Wally Edwards. He scored 80 in the first innings, but was injured and did not bat in the second.

In the fifth test he made 35 and 11. In the 6th he scored 0 and 76.

He was picked in the squad to tour England to play the World Cup and a four-test series.

1975 Ashes
In the World Cup, McCosker scored 73 against Sri Lanka. 0 against the West Indies, 15 against England in the semi-final and 7 in the final.

McCosker's scores in the first three tests of the 1975 ashes were 59, 29 and 79,  and 0 and 95 not out. He was 95 not out with one day to play the test was abandoned due to the pitch being vandalised.

In the fourth test however he managed to score 127, his debut test century.

1975-76 Season
At the beginning of the 1975–76 season McCosker was appointed captain of NSW when Doug Walters was injured.

McCosker scored 1 and 2 in the first test against the West Indies. He followed this with 0 and 13 and 4 and 22. McCosker was dropped in favour of Graham Yallop. "I am sure Rick is good enough to fight his way back into the team", said Greg Chappell. "He'll appreciate the break after 12 months of high-pressure international cricket".

However he was back in the team for the 6th test making 21 and 109.

He made 0 in a one-day international against the West Indies.

1976-77 Season
Against Pakistan, McCosker made 65 and 42, 0 and 105, and 8 and 8.

In New Zealand he made 37 and 77 not out in the first test and 84 in the second.

Centenary Test
In the first innings he hooked a ball for four, then broke his jaw off a Bob Willis bouncer when he got out. In the second innings Australia were in a strong-ish position but McCosker went out to bat with a broken jaw. He scored 25 putting on 54 with Rod Marsh in a ten wicket stand. The runs would prove crucial when Australia won by 45 runs.

"One of the Indians would have done that," said McCosker later. "One of the Englishmen would have done that. Randall in his innings, he got sconed by Lillee. He just got up and continued to bat. So you just do it... If you get kicked off a horse, you get back on again. Also because it was such a big match and such a big crowd, I wanted to be a part of it. And do something. Not just sit in the dressing room. Anyway, the guys would have been pretty sick of the sight of me in the change room. It was pretty ugly."

1977 Ashes
McCosker toured England in 1977. His jaw had to be rewired.

During the tour it came out that he had signed to play World Series Cricket.

In the first test he scored 23 and 1, 2 and 0, 51 and 107, 27 and 12 and 32.

World Series Cricket
McCosker played two series of World Series Cricket. This included going on the 1978 tour of the West Indies, replacing Ian Davis. On that tour he broke a finger but recovered to score 95 in a one-day international.

McCosker later said he enjoyed World Series Cricket. "I played a standard of cricket that I don't think I would have played otherwise", he said. "It was such a strenuous program of cricket at such a high standard over a long period of time. It was professional ... I like the ideals of amateurism, but that doesn't pay the bills and provide you with a future.. Probably the worst thing was being barred from playing Sheffield Shield cricket".

Post World Series Cricket 1979-80
McCosker was appointed NSW captain at the start of the 1979–80 season.

He was recalled to the Australian test side for the first Test against the West Indies and in the one day team. He made 1 in an ODI and 14 and 33 in the test. He was dropped but scored 123 against WA in a Shield game and another century against Tasmania.

McCosker was recalled to the test side when Bruce Laird was injured for the second test against England. He made 1 and 41.

He was kept on for the third test and made 33 and two. It was McCosker's last Test for Australia.

In one day games he made one, 44 and 95 against the West Indies.

McCosker announced himself unavailable for the 1980 tour of Pakistan. He was overlooked for the 1980 tour of England, even though pundits had thought he would be selected.

1980-81
McCosker was kept as NSW captain for the 1980–81 season. He played well for NSW, taking part in a 319 run partnership with John Dyson against WA, and thought he was an "outside chance" of making the test team. It did not happen - McCosker was overlooked for selection on the 1981 tour of England as well.

1981-82: International Recall
McCosker was appointed captain of NSW for 1981-82 initially just for one game. By this stage he was living and working in Newcastle. McCosker ended up captaining NSW for the whole season.

McCosker had a strong season, scoring five centuries by December including a century in each innings against Victoria.

McCosker was back in the Australian one day team in 1981–82, replacing an injured Graeme Wood. He scored 20 against the West Indies, 13 against Pakistan, and 18 against the West Indies.

1982-83
McCosker was unsure whether to keep playing. "I've got to look at the business scene and the home front before I tell the selectors I'm available to play and perhaps take on the leadership again," he said in June 1983. "Leadership is a demanding task and the amount of time spent away from home and business at this time of my life can present long term problems."

He decided to play on and led NSW to the Sheffield Shield in 1982–83, the first time they had won that trophy in a number of years.

1983-84
In June 1983 Dirk Wellham was appointed captain of NSW. McCosker played on, occasionally captaining NSW. He retired from first class cricket at the end of the season. In June 1984 he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia.

After Cricket career
While still playing, McCosker started a business in financial planning and insurance. He later worked for National Mutual.

McCosker was an Australian selector for the 1984–85 season but resigned at the end of the summer. He continued playing grade cricket with New Lambton in Newcastle. He retired in 1988.

"I found that I had to push myself a bit at cricket just to keep playing," McCosker said "I found I was not getting the same enjoyment out of it." Instead he played competitive tennis.

In mid-2012, about 18 months after retiring from his financial planning business, McCosker became Catholic chaplain to the Port of Newcastle.

"Part of my work there was to do whatever we could for the seafarers who come in off the cargo vessels," said McCosker. "We would get a couple of buses and get the seafarers and bring them into town, where they could contact their families, go shopping, and just basically get off the ship".

McCosker relinquished his role as Chaplain in 2016, but he continues to work as a volunteer at Newcastle's Mission to Seafarers.

Personal life
McCosker is married with some children.

Hi there Aranymalinko! I uploaded Image:MTbornhere.jpg to the Wikimedia Commons, as you can see. You can do this yourself as well if you wish, by saving the image to your computer and then uploading to the Wikimedia Commons. I only uploaded Image:MTbornhere.jpg because it was the only public domain image out of the lot, while the rest were generally fair use (not very usable). Anyway, thanks for coming to me for help and I hope to see you around the wiki! Cheers, Brisvegas 03:47, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello Aranymalinko, I'm writing to you about your usage of File:Big_Bird_-_Library_of_Congress,_Living_Legends,_Award_&_Honors,_2000.jpg on your userpage. I'm afraid that image is not free content and as such should not be used outside of mainspace, as you can read at WP:NFCC point 9. I know how nice it is to have a cool image you like for your userpage, there's a number I'd love to use myself, but I'm afraid it really can't be used like this :( It would be great if you could kindly remove it, comment it out, or replace it with another, free image. Happy editing,  Snowolf How can I help? 16:06, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Aranymalinko. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Aranymalinko~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Unfortunately his mission had little success, but nevertheless China received the holy blessing of the Apostle. This behaves as though St. Thomas's mission is well-documented and established historical fact without providing any sources, accepts that Thomas, the Christian gospel, and visits by apostles are "holy," and that the lack of spreading of the Christian gospel is "unfortunate."
