Talk:Daily Record (Scotland)

Untitled
Does someone know stuff about the daily record because i'm trying to find some since a few hours and i haven't found anything interesting ! Thx !

this article is just political axe-grinding and serves no possible use to the reader. The Record's own contribution may have been slanted and overtly self-written but at least it informed readers. Where is the history of the newspaper? Where is the reference to its Golden Age? Its battle against the Scottish Daily Express which it won? Its later battle against the Scottish Sun and the other English papers launching Scottish editions (which it lost)?

Weasel words etc.
This article uses weasel words to state an opinion without citing sources:

 *  It is seen by many to be no more than a mouthpiece for the Scottish Labour Party.

Also I have removed the following:
 * (ironically, many of its journalists are from middle class backgrounds & public school educated — eg. columnists Johnny McKie & Joan Burnie both went to Glasgow's Hutchesons' Grammar)

Stating that tabloid journalists are better educated than their target readers seems as pointless to me as stating that Rupert Murdoch does not live on the minimum wage. I believe that phrases such as "crude sensationalistic journalism" and "gullibility of its readership" mean that this article violates the NPOV policy of the wikipedia. I'm no fan of the Daily Record, but this article definately needs a rewrite.

IslaySolomon 03:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I wouldn't have said it was just "Weasel Words" that make this article biased. Just look at this section:

 * This, combined with its crude sensationalistic journalism (the paper has a particular fascination with Glasgow gangsters), 'moral crusades' (which tend to involve the threat of constant negative publicity to inflame the public against their target) & gullibility of its readership (likened to comedian Jasper Carrott's lampooning of "Sun readers") has earned it the unflattering nickname of "the Daily Retard"

 * If that's neutral, then I'd hate to see bias against it! Marks87 23:36, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I completely agree. I've changed my 'weasel words' tag to an { {NPOV} } tag. --IslaySolomon 02:52, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

The Daily Record's support of Labour is legend within Scotland, as is it's "lowest common denominator" approach to stories. the individuals made no objection or ask for citations about the part regarding comedian Jasper Carrott's lampooning of "Sun readers"! Restored to the original format, and citations provided as to the "Daily Retard" nickname. Revert it back all you like, 'coz the previous versions will still survive in the history section for others to recheck!

 * Douglasnicol 00:18, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi anonymous ip. You seriously need to read our policy on verifiability and neutral point of view if you think that sort of thing is going to fly here. This type of uncited, unsourced criticsm is no more acceptable than the hagiography the Record themselves keep pasting in.  Wikipedia is not a soapbox for anyone, anti-Record or pro-Record.  Morwen - Talk 11:47, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

It DOES have close ties to the Labour party (not to mention STV), and exchanges employees with it, and their spouses/family members. Helen Liddell is one classic example of this "in job", and another is the way that the Labour Executive gave them around a million pounds in advertising revenue, while the Sun with a similar circulation got around 50K! Not to mention the political campaign they ran against the SNP on the day of the Scottish election. They deserve to be exposed, and I have included links to back up these claims.--MacRusgail 20:50, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Perhaps, but that does not excuse the vandalism of this page that has happened in the past, plus the posts above. Douglasnicol 20:55, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Personally, Douglas, I do believe that they are biased towards the Old Firm, but I think that there's probably much bigger issues at stake here, such as their Scottish election day front page. And believe me, I would love to sling mud at the Record. LOL! --MacRusgail 18:11, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Oh no doubt, but I'm just saying that at least you can put that there is a bias without making the main article appear childish. Those that do that don't do their arguments any favours. :) Douglasnicol 18:28, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

The Worst Page on Wikipedia
Note the supreme irony of the loyalty to the Labour Party comments... followed immediately by a paragraph on its support for Section 28 which it was a Labour manifesto promise to repeal.

So some content, please. Until someone can come along and give measured commentary on its politics and opinions, perhaps those sections should be removed altogether.

I think it certainly needs adding to. The article most definitely does not reflect the fact that a large number of working Scots buy the paper and the influence it has (whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is another question) or indeed the paper's clear political allegiance. It is very blatantly a pro-Labour party paper, though of course this is not absolute support as has been highlighted above with the Clause 28 saga. I don't think I have ever read anything positive written about the SNP in the Daily Record (not that I am an avid reader) and I think the paper certainly has much to answer for when it comes to scaremongering on the matter of Scottish independence. -- SCL 82.26.21.12 15:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I've reverted two edits to the paper already, this is getting ridiculous, the ones making these entries are only making themselves look childish. I certainly have never heard it referred to as the 'Daily Retard' and I live in Scotland, yet at the same time I have heard "The Sun" sometimes referred to as "The Scum", you would think if the "Daily Retard" label was so popular that it would be far better known.

Also, there is an entry saying the Record is well known for its bias towards Rangers FC. I think either some sources or some additional info is required for this. I'm not saying it's correct or incorrect as I have no interest in football, but some additional info would be nice. Douglasnicol 14:27, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

 * That's true, i was gonna add a bit about that myself, I doubt we could find a source to attribute it to though, I have heard it referred to as the Daily Ranger, personally as neither a Celtic or Rangers fan i've never noticed this bias but Celtic fans seem to think its there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.153.1.136 (talk) 00:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC).

 * Another comment citing the 'Daily Retard' nickname. I have certainly never heard it, if it is true provide a source. Douglasnicol 17:42, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Douglas, I have heard the "Daily Retard" used in speech, often by independence supporters. "Daily Reptile" is another nickname, though less common. It needs references though. --MacRusgail 18:27, 10 August 2007 (UTC) p.s. If you think this is the worst page on wikipedia, I suggest pressing the "random article" button a few times - there's far worse than this!

 * Oh I don't think it is, I just used this section that someone else started rather than start a new one. Regarding the views of Independence supporters, it's a bit OTT to nickname a paper because it is against independence, because lets face it, every newspaper whether its a crappy tabloid or a broadsheet has its agendas and biases.  I've heard the Telegraph called 'Torygraph', and the Guardians left wing views are well known.  Every publication will have it's bias.  Even if references are put in, it's best to put in the nickname and explanation in a NPOV manner as the vandalism this page has suffered in the past is moronic. Douglasnicol 21:00, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Torygraph and Spellygraph (because of the typos) are two nicknames I've heard for the Telegraph. I don't think it is just the independence issue with the Record though, it is also the level it is pitched at, the perceived moral double standards of a typical tabloid, and some of the smear stories that tabloids often contain. The Record and the Sun (and other red tops) have been particularly vicious to various people, so it's no wonder that they get derogatory nicknames. --MacRusgail 14:29, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Though to be honest, I'm starting to wonder if the nickname is suitable. I get the Saturday edition for the TV magazine, and a letter in it complained about this weeks "Still Game" episode, saying it should have been cancelled because the character of Navid wanted to burn down his competitor and it was too close to the airport bombings.  I watched that episode and it never even crossed my mind, it says more about the letters author (who chose to remain anonymous) than the programme in my opinion..... Douglasnicol 15:20, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Glasgow-centric?
Does anyone think the Daily Record is Glasgow-centric? To add this to the article would be WP:OR, but does anyone have a cite that could possibly suggest this?

 * I would say its slanted towards Glasgow, and to the west coast a bit. If you ask me (though I may be wrong) the Record used to be regarded as 'the working mans paper', perhaps before it became just another tabloid, and the industrialised areas of Scotland were largely Glasgow and the Clyde Valleys as well as places like Greenock etc.  As to cites....well thats more difficult. Douglasnicol 20:18, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

 * "West coast"? Aye, that's the problem. The West Coast takes in Sutherland, the Hebrides, Argyll, and Galloway. If you're from Glasgow, it's only the tiny bit of country round about, most of which isn't even on the coast!!! --MacRusgail 19:16, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Well okay I may have made a mistake there, but by West Coast I meant areas like Greenock and further down to places like the three towns, Largs, Ayr, Irvine, Troon etc. Douglasnicol 19:03, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

 * It's very common usage in the central belt, but in the north, "west coast" tends to imply the Highlands. Stranraer I suppose counts as well (although it faces north). --MacRusgail 14:38, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

There is a statistic - somewhere - which tells us that the DR sells very few copies north of Stirling (compared that is with the Central Belt). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.25.194.76 (talk) 15:41, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Race panic and The Daily Record: Sighthill, Glasgow, 2001
It's striking that there is no mention of the race panic The Daily Record fostered in 2001. As well as being probably one of the Record's most notorious moments, it became a spectacular incident that reached the UK news media.

Is there anyone qualified enough to knock out a decent entry on it?

Football
Anyone want to comment on the incredibly biased sports section with its blatant anti Celtic slants. They make up quotes!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.203.56.136 (talk) 02:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

The Daily Ranger? really?
I'm a Celtic fan, and I know we like to call it the Daily Ranger, but I'm not sure that justifies an inclusion in the article. I'm sure Rangers fans don't call it that, and I believe there are some people in Scotland who don't care about Celtic or Rangers ( or football ). It's not worthy of a mention unless other nicknames are included for balance.

I'll change it a bit if no-one has a convincing argument for leaving "Daily Ranger" as the only nickname. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.117.37.25 (talk) 16:58, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Daily Record availability in Northern England
The Daily Record has not, according to my newsagent and their supplier, been available in the North of England since the first week in April 2020. "Transport difficulties" are the given reason. Yet,strangely,The Sunday Mail, the Record's sister Sunday paper, has been available every Sunday. Someone is being "economical" with the truth here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pollok juniors (talk • contribs) 11:06, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Maxine Peake

Maxine Peake (born 14 July 1974) is an English actress and narrator. She is known for her roles as Twinkle in dinnerladies, a sitcom on BBC One (1998–2000), as Veronica Ball in Shameless, the comedy drama from Channel 4 (2004–2007), Martha Costello in the BBC One legal drama Silk (2011–2014), and Grace Middleton in the BBC One drama series The Village (2013–2014). In 2017, she starred in the Black Mirror episode "Metalhead". She has also played the title role in Hamlet, as well as the notorious serial killer Myra Hindley in See No Evil: The Moors Murders, the critically acclaimed 2006 dramatisation by ITV of the Moors murders.

Early life
Peake was born in Bolton, England, on 14 July 1974. She went to Westhoughton High School and Canon Slade School (in the same year as Sara Cox) in Bradshaw, acquiring two A-levels.

Peake joined the Octagon Youth Theatre in Bolton at the age of 13, before a period at the youth theatre of the Royal Exchange in Manchester. She later did a two-year performing arts course at the Salford College of Technology. During this time she appeared in productions with two leading amateur theatre companies in Bolton: The Marco Players and The Phoenix Theatre Company. Peake was a member of the Communist Party of Britain Salford branch in her youth. In her teens, Peake played for Wigan Ladies rugby league team.

Peake's early attempts to enter the acting profession were unsuccessful. She was rejected by every theatre education company in North West England, and tried unsuccessfully for three years to get into Manchester Polytechnic Theatre School and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. However, at 21, she obtained a place at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). Her attempts to find sponsorship for her study at RADA were the subject of a 1996 documentary by The South Bank Show. Eventually, after being put forward by RADA, she was awarded the Patricia Rothermere Scholarship.

Career
Peake has appeared in many television and stage productions, including Victoria Wood's dinnerladies, Channel 4's Shameless, in the lead role of barrister Martha Costello in the BBC's legal drama Silk and alongside John Simm in the BBC drama The Village, depicting life in a Derbyshire village during the First World War. Following career advice from Victoria Wood, between the two series of dinnerladies, Peake lost so much weight that an explanation had to be written into the script for her character, Twinkle.

Peake portrayed Moors murderer Myra Hindley in See No Evil: The Moors Murders, which was broadcast in May 2006. In January 2009, Peake appeared in her first major feature film role, as Angela, in the film Clubbed.

In 2012, Peake played the title role in Miss Julie at the Royal Exchange, Manchester, and previously played the part of Kristin in a 2000 production. She played Doll Tearsheet in the BBC2 adaptations of Henry IV, Parts I and II.

Peake wrote, directed and starred in the play Beryl: A Love Story On Two Wheels about the life of the Leeds-born cyclist Beryl Burton, which was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in November 2012. In 2014, Peake adapted her play for the stage. Entitled simply Beryl, it was commissioned by the West Yorkshire Playhouse, where it ran in June and July 2014 to coincide with the start of the Tour de France in Leeds. The play returned in June and July 2015 and toured across England in Autumn 2015. Peake wrote a later play called Queens of the Coal Age again for Radio 4 that told the story of Anne Scargill and three other women who tried to occupy a coal mine in 1993.

Peake provided the vocals for the Eccentronic Research Council's 2012 concept album 1612 Underture about the Pendle witch trials and for their 2015 album Johnny Rocket, Narcissist & Music Machine…I'm Your Biggest Fan. Peake also features as a crazed stalker in the music video for "Sweet Saturn Mine" by The Moonlandingz; a collaborative effort by Eccentronic Research Council and Fat White Family in 2015.

In September 2013, Peake was appointed an Associate Artist of the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester. Her association with the theatre began in childhood and she was a member of the youth theatre. Major productions in which she has performed include The Children's Hour in 2008, for which she won a MEN Award, and Miss Julie in 2012 for which she won a Manchester Theatre Award. All of her performances at the Royal Exchange have been directed by Sarah Frankcom with whom she also collaborated on The Masque of Anarchy in 2012 for the Manchester International Festival. Building on this work, in September 2014 Frankcom went on to direct her as the title character in a radical re-imagining of Hamlet. The demand for tickets was so great that the production was extended for a week, having been "the theatre's fastest-selling show in a decade". The Guardian said of her performance: "Peake's delicate ferocity, her particular mixture of concentration and lightness, ensure that you want to follow her whenever she appears". A year later she appeared in Frankcom's production of The Skriker, as "Caryl Churchill's shape-shifting, doom-wreaking fairy". The Guardian 's Lyn Gardner listed the production in her top ten British plays of the year. In 2016, Peake resumed her partnership with Royal Exchange Artistic Director, Sarah Frankcom, to star as Blanche Dubois in Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. Peake's performance in the role garnered critical acclaim with The Guardian describing her performance as "exquisite" and "breathtaking".

Peake starred in "Metalhead", a December 2017 episode of Netflix's Black Mirror anthology. The episode was directed by Hannibal and American Gods director David Slade.

Peake starred as Nellie in Mike Leigh's 2018 film, Peterloo, based on the events of the 1819 Peterloo Massacre in Manchester.

Peake starred as the eponymous protagonist in the 2018 film Funny Cow alongside a cast including Paddy Considine and Stephen Graham. Tony Pitts wrote and starred in the film, which received positive reviews, in particular for Peake's "magnificent" performance.

Peake starred in, and won critical acclaim for, the lead role of Winnie in Samuel Beckett's Happy Days at the Royal Exchange Theatre in May 2018. The Guardian said she gave a "brilliant central performance, there's barely a breath between optimism and despair". Following Happy Days, the theatre presented Queens of the Coal Age, a play written by Peake. Adapted from her earlier radio drama, Queens of the Coal Age looks at the 1993 pit closure protests by miners' wives in northern England. The play received mixed reviews.

Peake starred in The Nico Project as the Velvet Underground singer Nico at the Manchester International Festival in July 2019.

Peake stars as Miss Fozzard in the 2020 BBC remake of Talking Heads, recreating a role originally played by Patricia Routledge.

Personal life
Peake is in a relationship with art director Pawlo Wintoniuk. In 2009, Peake left London after living there for 13 years. She said that living in Salford with Wintoniuk gave her the freedom to choose more risky roles and lower-paying jobs in theatre.

Political views
Peake is a feminist and socialist. She was active in communist organisations during her youth and a member of the Communist Party of Britain. In January 2014 Peake won the first Bolton Socialist Club Outstanding Contribution to Socialism Award for using her work to oppose the government's "crippling austerity measures".

In January 2016 Peake featured in the Climate Coalition's short film I Wish For You as Mia, with Jeremy Irons starring as her grandfather, to highlight the urgency of combating climate change.

In July 2015, Peake endorsed Jeremy Corbyn's campaign in the Labour Party leadership election. She wrote on her website: "For me, Jeremy Corbyn is our only beacon of hope to get the Labour Party back on track, get the electorate back in touch with politics and save this country from the constant mindless bullying of the vulnerable and poor." In 2016, along with other celebrities, Peake toured the UK to support Corbyn's bid to become prime minister.

In April 2017 Peake endorsed Corbyn in the 2017 general election. She said: "I am a Corbyn supporter. My mind boggles why people treat him like the anti-Christ, but it goes to show people are a lot more right-wing than they like to believe." In November 2019, along with other public figures, Peake signed a letter supporting Corbyn, describing him as "a beacon of hope in the struggle against emergent far-right nationalism, xenophobia and racism in much of the democratic world", and endorsed him in the 2019 general election.

In June 2020 she took part in an interview with The Independent in which she stated that the practice of police officers in the United States kneeling on someone's neck, one example of which led to the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, was "learnt from seminars taught by Israeli secret services". The Independent amended the original article to add a note that "the allegation that US police were taught tactics of 'neck kneeling' by Israeli secret services is unfounded". Peake later stated that she was "inaccurate in [her] assumption of American police training and its sources". Peake's statement was denounced by Labour leader Keir Starmer, the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Labour Movement as an "antisemitic conspiracy theory". Shadow Education Secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey retweeted the article and called Peake an "absolute diamond". When Jewish groups demanded she delete the tweet, Long-Bailey refused to do so, leading to her sacking from the Shadow cabinet by Starmer. John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor under Corbyn, said that "criticism of practices of [the] Israeli state is not antisemitic" and that Peake's claim "was not antisemitic".

In February 2011, Maxine Peake spoke against the "class snobbery" that she felt effected the entertainment business of the age.

Talk:Wildcard DNS record

The reaosn why MaraDNS handles wildcard the way Mara does is because of how I set up the data structures; as it turns out, the 1.2 release has revised the data structures to be able to be fully-RFC-compliant in this regard. However, in light of this article, I don't think I will make this change.

I get the sense, from reading the wildcards part of RFC1034, that Paul was just codifying in an RFC the consequence of how an early DNS server stored its records in memory. Samboy 09:20, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * As of MaraDNS 1.2.02, MaraDNS now has the ability to optionally handle wildcards in a more RFC-compliant manner. I've changed this page to reflect this fact. Samboy 18:17, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Query Examples
I've been doing a lot of reading on DNS stuff lately, and maybe I'm just confused, but could someone verify the example queries in the first table? I expected this query to return host1.example, not host3 :

Unsalting of Yan Naing Oo
Hi Davewild I am contacting you because I was interested in moving page Yan Naing Oo (midfielder) to Yan Naing Oo. This is because their really isn't anyone else called Yan Naing Oo so it seems kind of pointless to have a specifier. Yan Naing Oo was deleted in Articles for deletion/Yan Naing Oo in which you where the deleting admin, but the subject of the article was recreated in Yan Naing Oo (midfielder). The later article was nominated for deletion but that was struck down, so I thought of moving (the article) to make it simpler. If you think the newer article (Yan Naing Oo (midfielder)) is not notable enough just tell me. Thanks Inter&anthro (talk) 02:15, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello Davewild

Regarding the 2015 deletion of William 'Bill' Mehl as not notable. Plz see wiki article on Jack Trice which is, essentially, the sane story: death of a football player due to medical issues prior to penicillin or new antibiotic medicines. Then, years later, a recognition by the University to establish a memorial and increase student/faculty knowledge of the individual. While Valpo is much smaller than Iowa State, the stories are almost identical without the racism aspect. Believe reconsideration is warranted, Thank you BillT  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.249.165.245 (talk) 21:59, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins) .MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Joseph Burton Lumpkin
Hi there Mr. Dave. Eeeboy, I'm trying to figure out what I did and already left a message for the other editor who flagged my article. (My editor at Harcourt helped me to do my page in 2008, Carol Plum-Ucci, but I don't remember it being so hard!) I'm trying to do a page for a favorite client; I edited his book ~The Books of Enoch:,~ which is now on Amazon's Best Seller List in his category and felt he deserved a page. He attempted to do his own page way back in 2010 (?) without enough concept of your requirements (he lives with Aspergers, which affects his concentration, and I apologize for any confusion he caused back then). I did a very good job on his entry, I believe, posted yesterday, and feel there may be two simple issues: (1) his name and certain facts may be recognized by computer for immediate flagging because the 2010 entry he himself wrote was unacceptable, and (2)I may have hyperlinked in ways that are considered bad form. I did not hyperlink each of his books (even though that was done on my own entry.) Can you provide links or dialogue that could help me provide an acceptable article?

On another front: Somebody added disparaging and untrue information on my own page, Carol Plum-Ucci, listing me as a winner of "worst cliffhanger of 2001" in the category of Awards. There is no such award, and I kinda don't think it's funny. But my first priority is trying to get Joseph a page if possible, so thanks for any help!!

Yours most gratefully, Plumucci (talk) 18:41, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Tiruchuli

Tiruchuli is a Panchayat town in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is sited about 15 kilometres east of Aruppukkottai, 40 km east of Virudhunagar, and 45 km south of Madurai. The village is the birthplace of Sri Ramana Maharshi, the most revered 20th century Hindu saint.

Temples
Saivite and Thirumeninathar temple are located in Tiruchuli. Thirumeninathar is one of the oldest in South India. The god in this temple was worshiped by the 63 popular Saivites in Tamil Nadu. Tiruchuli is located on the western bank of the Gundar River.

The Bhuminathaswamy temple at Tiruchuli is counted among the 14 famous Shiva centers in Pandya Nadu. Its god is Bhuminathar and its goddess is Thunaimalai Amman. Its deities have been venerated in the hymns sung by Shaivite Nayanar Sundaramoorthy and Sekkilar.

The temple has undergone extensive renovations and the present building accommodates shrines built over time within the high boundary walls constructed during the reign of Muthuramalinga Setupati. Swami Vivekananda stayed three days in this temple due to the floods in the Gundar River during his yatras.

Tiruchuli is admired by people who are pious, religious, and love seclusion for meditation and chants in the name of the divine. A famous shrine is in the Agraharam adjoining the temple, called Sundara Mandiram, which is the house where Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi was born.

A temple for the Tamil philosopher-saint Valluvar, the author of the Tirukkural, is located in Periya Pudupatti village near Tiruchuli. People consider Valluvar as the 64th Nayanmar of the Saivite tradition and worship him as god and saint, taking annual procession.

Economy
The main occupation is agriculture. Most of the government staff and school teachers who work in Tiruchuli and other surrounding villages live there.

Tiruchuli has its own railway station, taluk office, police station, post office, treasury, government hospital, State Bank of India and higher secondary schools.

Demographics
In 2011 the town had a population of 7,688.

Geography
The River Gundar flows on the east side of the village. A large lake is situated on the west side.

The groundwater level in Tiruchuli is a persistent issue despite 15 years of work to address it. A large Kanmai sits on about 550 acres in Tiruchuli. 5 cults are present in this Kanmai. During the rainy season, flooding is possible and Panthanenthal Kanmai becomes filled with water through the canal. Then the surplus water flows through the canal of the Tiruchuli Kanmai. This is because the canals have not been maintained. Thus, the big Kanmai did not leave the water.

The 1,500 acres of the three villages of Tiruchuli, Pachcheri and Tamil Padi became marshland. To overcome this problem, Tamil Nadu and Tiruchuli residents did maintenance and reconstruction with their own efforts. In 2017, in the areas of Theni, Usilampatti and Tirumangalam, flooding in the Kunda, filled Kanmai with floodwater that led to a rise in groundwater levels. In addition, the water level in the wells also rose. Thus, work on agricultural lands continues.

Schools

 * T.U.N.S.V. Higher Secondary School
 * Hindu Satriya Vidyalaya Primary school
 * Sedupathy Higher Secondary School
 * Muthu Primary School

Governance
This place is part of the virudunagar district; the taluk falls under Ramnad M.P.

Tiruchuli (State Assembly Constituency) has been recently created. The present MLA of the constituency is Thangam Thennarasu and the union chairman for the local body is Ponnusamy.

An NGO, ODAM, operates outside of Tiruchuli and work on empowering women, educational classes and has established a research centre for biodiesel 7 km outside of the town.

Pilgrim Trust

The Pilgrim Trust is an independent charitable grant-making trust in the United Kingdom. The Trust's aims are to improve the life chances of the most vulnerable and preserve the best of the past for the public to enjoy. It is based in London and is a registered charity (no. 206603) under English law.

It was founded in 1930 with a two million pound endowment by Edward Harkness, an American philanthropist. The trust's inaugural board were Stanley Baldwin, Sir James Irvine, Sir Josiah Stamp, John Buchan and Hugh Macmillan; its first secretary was former civil servant, Thomas Jones.

Founding
Edward Harkness was an American philanthropist, whose family traced its roots to Dumfriesshire and who retained a lifelong love of Great Britain. Prompted by admiration for the UK's contribution to the First World War, and recognising the difficulties of its people during the Great Depression, he donated £2 million to create the Pilgrim Trust.

The preamble to the trust deed was written by John Buchan, and reads: Whereas it is acknowledged by all the Great Britain in the War spent her resources freely in the common cause and in the years which have elapsed since Peace has sustained honourably and without complaint a burden which has gravely increased the difficulties of life for her people; And whereas the Donor feels himself bound by many ties of affection to the land from which he draws his descent and desires to show his admiration for what Great Britain has done by a gift to be used for some of her more urgent needs; And whereas he hopes that such a gift wisely applied may assist not only in tiding over the present time of difficulty but in promoting her future well-being...

Recording Britain
In 1940 the Trust funded a scheme "Recording the changing face of Britain" established by the Committee for the Employment of Artists in Wartime, part of the Ministry of Labour and National Service. Led by Sir Kenneth Clark, director of the National Gallery, it employed artists to record the home front in Britain, running until 1943. It was motivated by a desire to record and reflect the landscape, already undergoing a period of rapid change through urbanisation and changes in agriculture and further threatened by bombing and other effects of war. Some of the sixty three artists directly commissioned included John Piper, Sir William Russell Flint, Charles Knight, Malvina Cheek, George Hooper, Clifford Ellis, Raymond Teague Cowern and Rowland Hilder. A further thirty four artists contributed to the final total of over 1500 works. The collection was donated to the Victoria and Albert Museum by the Trust in 1949. Over a hundred works comprising the "Recording Scotland" part of the same scheme are held at the Museum Collections Unit, University of St Andrews.

The National Cataloguing Scheme
In 2006, the Trust partnered with the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation and The National Archives to support the cataloguing of important archives to which people had little or no access. In the pilot year, 12 grants were awarded and it was deemed a success. The Pilgrim Trust continued this grant programme with The National Archives and in 2017 renamed the grant programme to Archives Revealed. In 2021, the Wolfson Foundation partnered with the Pilgrim Trust and The National Archives to continue Archives Revealed and a total of £1 million went towards 'the only funding stream in the UK dedicated to cataloguing and unlocking archives'.

The Pilgrim Trust today
Today, the Trust makes grants of roughly £3 million in grants to charities and other public bodies that focus on preserving the UK's heritage or on bringing about social change. It also funds activities such as research and advocacy that catalyse wider structural changes.

Today, the Trust's main areas of operation are providing grants for young women's mental health; preserving and conserving significant historic buildings, structures, objects, works of art, collections and records; and researching, advocating and developing work in their areas/sectors of interest.

Trustees
As of 2023, the trustees of the Trust are:

 * Sir Mark Jones (chairman)
 * Asif Afridi
 * David Barrie CBE
 * Caroline Butler
 * Dr Anna Keay OBE
 * Alice La Trobe Weston
 * Atul Patel MBE
 * Matthew Ridley
 * Marie Staunton CBE

Talk:Comparables

Untitled
comparables are things that compare.

Merge proposal
i am thinking that this article could be enhanced if it were to include the content from the Comp Check article. i'm thinking that a comp check is essentially just the process of an appraiser using comparables Minnaert 16:59, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Good idea to merge. Do you want to go ahead? With appropriate cross refs. it makes sense.  First define the term and its usage, then relate to appraisers' use via comp check. Viva-Verdi 20:00, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I'd suggest not. For one, "comp check" is a slang verb describing a sort of "mini-appraisal" (not really, but let's call it that) performed by an appraiser, broker, or other knowledgeable person to estimate a price.  "Comp checks" are generally done outside the scope of the Uniform Standards, and the outcome really can't be called an appraisal.  On the other hand, "comparable" is a term of art referring to the market transaction data used in an actual appraisal.  While the sales comparison approach (SCA) is often erroneously called the "comparable data approach", and while the "comp check" resembles a mini-SCA, all three approaches to value actually use comparable data.  Hence, for people trying to learn something about real estate appraisal (or "surveying", as it's known in much of the rest of the English speaking world), then both topics should probably be included in wiki, and "Comparables" deserves a rigorous, separate discussion. --Thesurveyor

 * I agree with Thesurveyor. Let's use this to educate the public.--Appraiser 21:45, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Sigurd Lewerentz

Sigurd Lewerentz (29 July 1885 – 29 December 1975) was a Swedish architect.

Biography
Lewerentz was born at Sandö in the parish of Bjärtrå in Västernorrland County, Sweden. He was the son of Gustaf Adolf Lewerentz and Hedvig Mathilda Holmgren. He initially trained as a mechanical engineer at the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg (1905–8). Later he took up an architectural apprenticeship in Germany. He studied with Westman, Östberg and Tengbom.

He first opened his own architectural office in Stockholm in 1911 and became associated with the architect Gunnar Asplund (1885–1940). Together they made a winning entry for the Stockholm South (Woodland) Cemetery (Skogskyrkogården) competition of 1914–15. This project was implemented initially by both architects, however, the latter stages were done by Asplund alone. He and Asplund were appointed as the main architects for the Stockholm International Exhibition (1930) but afterward, Lewerentz became disillusioned, turning away from architecture for many years; from 1940 he ran a factory producing windows and other architectural fittings of his own design.

Between 1933 and 1944 Lewerentz, together with his colleagues Erik Lallerstedt and David Helldén, created what is regarded of one of the masterpieces of functionalist architecture, Malmö Opera and Music Theatre (Malmö Opera och Musikteater). The foyer is considered of particular beauty, with its open surfaces and beautiful marble staircases and it is adorned with a number of works of art by artists such as Carl Milles and Isaac Grünewald. He was awarded the Prince Eugen Medal for architecture in 1950.

In the last decade of his life he designed two churches, St. Mark's at Björkhagen in Stockholm (1956) and St. Peter's at Klippan in Scania (1963–66), which revived his career in architecture. St. Peter's at Klippan sits in a suburban setting on the periphery of this small town in southern Sweden. The orientation of the church is correct, with the altar standing opposite the west doors. It is square in shape, suggesting a more intimate ritual in the tradition of circonstantes (standing in a circle), which harkens back to early Christianity. This was the religious equivalent of the search for the essential and the primitive, strongly evident in both of Lewerentz's later churches. These characteristics are expressed beautifully in the detailing of the buildings, the choice of materials, the quality of light and the spatial articulation.

He continued to work at competition proposals and furniture designs until shortly before his death in Lund, Sweden during 1975.

His total output was small but of very high quality. In an obituary published in The Architectural Review, James Codrington praises Lewerentz's buildings for their "daring, often rugged use of materials" and their "indefinable atmosphere" and "sense of place."

Those We Don't Speak Of
I worked a lot on this article, and with the major help of a few peer reviewers, I think the article turned out to be of outstanding quality. -- SoothingR 09:31, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Far too short and insignificant to be a featured article - this is not a comment on the subject of the article (doesn't matter here) but the general fact that the article is lacking everywhere. The use of colour in the text at one point is terribly tacky, the Manual of Style is not followed where the film name is mentioned, the reference quoted (ie. the film itself) is not enough including where you draw parallels to Harry Potter (borders very closely on original research), and the spoiler warning is in a weird place. Essentially, this is not Wikipedia's finest work and is far from it. Harro5 09:46, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose 1) the sections are too small, it should be increased. 2) Would like to see more references 3) Lead should be expanded 4) bulleted text converted to prose. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  09:53, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Too short, as others have said, and it simply has no material. This is not a question of bytes, but of content.  All it says is that this is a feature of a film and then proceed to give the plot!  To add substance would mean taking the article far away from its purported subject and into a discussion of psychological film, the mismarketing of this film (as a horror movie), the expectation of movie "secrets," etc.  None of that would be germane.  In other words, I don't believe this object can be overcome.  Geogre 02:42, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Randy Smith (basketball)

Randolph Smith (December 12, 1948 – June 4, 2009) was an American professional basketball player who set the NBA record for consecutive games played. From 1972 to 1982, Smith played in every regular season game, en route to a then-record of 906 straight games (since broken by A.C. Green). In college, he was a Division II All-American basketball player, soccer player and track athlete. He was born in Bellport, New York.

Early life
Randolph Smith was born on December 12, 1948, in Bellport, New York. He attended Bellport High School in Brookhaven, New York, where he excelled in basketball.

College career
Smith was an outstanding all-around athlete at Buffalo State College, earning All-American honors in three sports: basketball, soccer and track. At Bellport High School on Long Island, Smith was a standout on the soccer and basketball teams, and also set a state high jump record of 6ft 6in. However, it was on the basketball court that Smith shone brightest, teaming with Durie Burns to lead the Bengals to three straight conference championships, including a trip to the Final Four of the NCAA Division II Tournament in 1970, where Smith earned All-Tournament honors.

Buffalo Braves / San Diego Clippers (1971–1979)
Smith surprised everyone in training camp, and he made the final roster cuts. Despite standing only 6-foot-3, he was assigned to play forward. He averaged 13.4 points per game in his rookie season. Smith continued to improve beyond expectation, drawing on his tremendous speed, quickness and leaping ability. His style of play, along with contemporaries like Julius Erving, marked by fast breaks and "above the rim" ball movements influenced the offensive style of the NBA in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Playing alongside league scoring champion Bob McAdoo, Smith averaged 21.8 points per game in the 1975–76 season, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team.

The highlight of Smith's career was the 1978 NBA All-Star Game, where he came off the bench to lead all scorers with 27 points, and was named the game's Most Valuable Player.

Smith played for seven years for the Braves until the franchise became the San Diego Clippers in 1978. That first year with the Clippers, Smith had his fourth consecutive season averaging over 20 points per game.

Cleveland Cavaliers (1979–1981)
In 1979, Smith was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he was named team captain and played for two years.

New York Knicks (1981–1982)
Smith spent the 1981 season with the New York Knicks.

Return to San Diego (1982–1983)
The next season, Smith moved back to San Diego for another season.

On November 3, 1982, Smith played in his 845th consecutive NBA game, breaking Johnny Kerr's iron man record. The game was a 130–111 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in which Smith started and scored 14 points. Smith's iron man streak ended at 906 games when he played his last game with the Clippers on March 13, 1983. He had requested to be waived to play for a contender late in the 1982–83 NBA season and he missed a game while waiting to clear waivers. The record was later surpassed by A.C. Green in 1997.

Atlanta Hawks (1983)
Smith was traded to the Atlanta Hawks, where he played 15 games before retiring.

NASL
In early 1975 at age 26, while nearing the height of his basketball career, Smith turned many heads at a tryout for the expansion Tampa Bay Rowdies of the North American Soccer League. The Rowdies' management had hoped to sign the two-time college soccer All-American for the outdoor season as one of their "required" American players; however, his contract with the Hawkd would not allow him to play professional soccer at the time. A year later while in between basketball contracts, the Rowdies gave him another look, but it wasn't meant to be. After a third and final tryout in 1977, Rowdies coach Eddie Firmani felt that the combination of playing pro basketball and not playing any soccer for so long had diminished Smith's soccer skills too much.

Executive and coaching career
After retiring as a player, Smith was an NBA league executive whose duties included assisting former players in need, and he was a coach in the Continental Basketball Association before working at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, where he worked in marketing.

Post-playing career
Smith was inducted into the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame on Long Island in the Basketball Category with the Class of 1990. He was inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame in 1992.

On June 4, 2009, Smith died in Norwich, Connecticut, after a heart attack during a workout. He's buried at the Forest Lawn East Cemetery, Weddington, NC.

Malia Hosaka

Malia Hosaka (born October 7, 1969) is an American professional wrestler. She is a former NWA World Women's Champion.

Professional wrestling career
Hosaka was trained by Killer Kowalski at the wrestling training camp run by Misty Blue Simmes. In her debut match, Hosaka (wearing a Mary Lou Retton-inspired gymnastics outfit and billed as "Malia Ho") teamed with Simmes against Mad Dog Debbie Irons and Linda Dallas.

Ladies Professional Wrestling Association
In the early 1990s, Hosaka regularly wrestled for the Ladies Professional Wrestling Association. On February 13, 1992, she teamed with Bambi to challenge the LPWA Tag Team Champions The Glamour Girls on the LPWA Super Ladies Showdown pay-per-view. She also competed in the Ladies Major League Wrestling and Women's Pro Wrestling organizations in the early 1990s.

Eastern Championship Wrestling
Hosaka debuted in Eastern Championship Wrestling at NWA Bloodfest on October 1, 1993, and defeated Molly McShane. She then substituted for Madusa at November to Remember on November 13, 1993, and wrestled against Sherri Martel.

Independent circuit and World Championship Wrestling
Hosaka joined World Championship Wrestling in 1996 and competed in their newly formed women's division. She wrestled in the tournament to crown the first WCW Women's Champion, but was eliminated by Zero. During her tenure in WCW, she was managed by Sonny Onoo and frequently wrestled on WCW Monday Nitro and WCW Saturday Night against Madusa, Leilani Kai and WCW Women's Champion Akira Hokuto. In 1997, she competed in the WCW Women's Cruiserweight Championship tournament and was defeated in the finals by Toshie Uematsu. During March 1997, Malia Hosaka wrestled Madusa Miceli. During this memorable match, Madusa became extremely brutal with Malia. She grabbed her by the hair. Then she tossed her around the ring by the hair.

In 1998, Hosaka became a two-time New Dimension Wrestling Women's Champion. She defeated Debbie Combs for the belt on August 7, but lost it to Starla Saxton two weeks later. The next night, Hosaka defeated Saxton to once again become champion. She held the belt for approximately a month and a half until she lost it to The Foxy Lady on November 9, 1998. Hosaka wrestled against Saxton in matches taped for WCW Pro on May 16, 1998 and WCW WorldWide on September 19, 1998, and December 26, 1998.

In 1999, Hosaka took on longtime rival Brandi Alexander in a non-title match in Tulelake, California, for Rob Russen's IWA Florida promotion. She was billed as IWA Women's World Champion, but did not have the belt with her.

World Wrestling Federation
In 1999, Hosaka signed a developmental contract with the World Wrestling Federation. She defeated Brandi Alexander in a dark match on March 29, 1999. She then appeared on the June 28, 1999, edition of Raw Is War as a fan answering Ivory's challenge for her WWF Women's Championship but was instead attacked by Nicole Bass and Ivory until WWF head of security Jim Dotson stopped them. Since she was instantly recognized from her WCW appearances, the proposed "Rocky Balboa" idea for Malia's character fell to the wayside. She also accompanied Taka Michinoku to the ring in his challenge for Dean Malenko's WWF Light Heavyweight Championship, but the storyline was not developed further. WWF kept her under contract for a year, and shortly before her contract expired, they considered bringing her to the main roster under the name "Aphrodisia" and pairing her with soon-to-be debuting talent Essa Rios. Instead, the role was given to Amy Dumas and the character was renamed "Lita". Hosaka was then released due to an internal lack of character idea development.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling
After being released by the WWF, Hosaka returned to the independent circuit. She was contacted by David McLane to compete in the Women of Wrestling organization, but Hosaka turned down the offer because she felt McLaine was more interested hiring models and training them to act like wrestlers. On June 18, 2003, Hosaka competed in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and was defeated by Trinity.

Return to the independent circuit
In 2005, Hosaka appeared at "Wrestle Reunion" in an 8-woman tag team match teaming with Wendi Richter, Bambi, and Jenny Taylor against Sherri Martel, Peggy Lee Leather, Krissy Vaine, and Amber O'Neal.

In 2006, Malia became part of the then-fledgling SHIMMER roster. Malia debuted as a villainess in a losing effort against Lorelei Lee on Volume 3. After the match, the evil Malia and Lexie Fyfe attacked Lee in the ring before Cindy Rogers made the save. On Volume 4, Hosaka and Fyfe defeated Lee and Cindy Rogers in a tag team match. During this encounter, Cindy Rogers was wearing spandex tights. On Volume 5, they became an official team under the name The Experience and would start a winning streak which was broken by Cheerleader Melissa and MsChif on Volume 12. They then started another winning streak which was broken this time by Ashley and Nevaeh in the final of a six-team Gauntlet Match on Volume 21. After missing Volume 23, The Experience came back as part of the Volume 24 as they defeated the team of Rayna Von Tosh and Tenille. Once again, the Experience missed a Volume, but they came back as part of the Volume 26 losing to the team of Nikki Roxx and Ariel. Lexie Fyfe, due to some illness, was not scheduled for the SHIMMER 4th ANNIVERSARY Tapings but Malia was and defeated Tenille, but lost to Ariel in Singles Action.

Malia was also the "Queen of PMA" for Team PMA along with Syren and Evil Zebra. On July 4, 2009, at the United States Championship Wrestling "Summerbash 2009" show in Macclenny, Florida, Hosaka won the vacant USCW Women's Championship by defeating Amber O' Neal in the finals of the championship tournament match.

On February 17, 2012, via her Facebook she announced her retirement: "It has been a great 25 years, and I am grateful to all the fans who have supported me thru the years! but I am officially retired from the wrestling industry as of today. Thank you to all who supported/employed and believed in me thru the years!" However, Hosaka would return to the ring the following year for two matches. Hosaka then returned full-time in 2014, becoming SHINE Tag Team Champions with Brandi Wine.

She made a recent appearance on Rocky Mountain Pro's "Charged" program.

Personal life
Hosaka is half Japanese. She graduated Citrus High School in 1989 and later that year briefly attended Central Florida Community College.

Ralph Lundsten

Ralph Harold Lundsten (6 October 1936 – 5 July 2023) was a Swedish composer of electronic music, as well as a film director, visual artist, and author.

Life and career
Lundsten was born and raised in Ersnäs, Norrbotten, in northern Sweden, and lived in Nacka on the outskirts of Stockholm, still close to the forest and the sea. His home was Castle Frankenburg, a pink wooden mansion dating from 1878 which also housed his electronic music studio, Andromeda Studio.

From 1959 he lived an independent life, creating his own personal musical language, and preparing original films and exhibitions. His song Out in the Wide World served as the interval signal for Radio Sweden International's shortwave broadcasts, while a modified stanza from his 1970 song "Nattmara" was used by Sveriges Utbildningsradio during long breaks between its educational television programming on Sveriges Television (SVT) in the late 1970s.

During the 1950s Lundsten built his own electronic musical instruments and was one of the pioneers in this field.

Lundsten was awarded the Illis quorum in 2008. He died on 5 July 2023, at the age of 86.

Mary Marshall Dyer

Mary Marshall Dyer (1780–1867) was a voice for the largely forgotten anti-Shakerism sentiment in rural New Hampshire, United States. In 1813 she joined the Shakers of Enfield, New Hampshire. Disappointed in her lack of a leadership role and frustrated by the constraints of Shaker life, Dyer left the community in 1815. Her husband, Joseph, remained, as did all five of the Dyer children. Mary Dyer accused the Shakers of alienating her from her children. Fearing for her children's safety and left without any means of financial support, she gave public talks and wrote tracts against the Shakers in an attempt to gain public, and legislative, support for her cause.

Her principal writings included A Brief Statement of the Sufferings of Mary Dyer and A Portraiture of Shakerism in 1822. In 1819, she attempted to raise a mob to storm the Enfield Shaker Community to take her children back, but this effort failed. Joseph Dyer remained devoted to the community and criticized her in strong terms, responding in print to his wife's published accusations. Four of her five children remained Shakers for life. Her son, Jerrub, left the Shakers late in life, but did not appear to have a close relationship to his mother. By the 1850s Dyer's anti-Shakerism seemed extreme, in New England at least where the Shakers were now considered "quaint" rather than dangerous. Mary Dyer died a largely forgotten figure in 1867.

In the early nineteenth century, a married mother with a living husband had few legal rights over her children; the husband was their legal guardian, and when he indentured their children to the Shakers, Shakers became the Dyer children's legal guardians. Thus the Shakers' holding of the children was legal under the law of that time and place. Given those laws, Mary Dyer was the parent who attempted kidnapping.

Unlike others who also published books on Shaker-related parental kidnappings and lobbied for laws against such practices involving Shaker parents (Capt. Joseph Smith, 1810; Eunice Chapman, 1819), Dyer took an active part in assisting others involved in such cases and in educating the public about what she saw as the anti-family ideology and activities of the Shakers. Her activism reached from 1815 until her death in 1867.
