Victor Lindlahr

Victor Hugo Lindlahr (February 14, 1897 – January 26, 1969) was an American radio presenter, health food writer, and osteopathic physician. From 1936 to 1953, he hosted Talks and Diet, a popular radio series about nutrition.

Biography
In 1918, Lindlahr graduated from the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine. His father was the naturopath Henry Lindlahr.

In 1940, he wrote the book You Are What You Eat, one of the earliest texts of the health food movement in the United States, which sold over half a million copies. His book is also credited for popularizing the expression.

Between 1944 and 1953, Lindlahr endorsed the dietary supplement Serutan on the radio and television. Lindlahr has been described as a promoter of fad diets. He developed a low-carbohydrate diet which he called the Catabolic Diet. Nutritionist Frederick J. Stare included Lindlahr's Calorie Countdown in a list of books on nutritional quackery, which "ought not to be on anyone's shelves."

Talk:Medical Record
Hi welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for adding the comment you raised on Talk:Medical record which is this week's Medical Collaboration of the week article. By way of response, I posted a return question to yours - I'll happily expand article if, as a non-doctor, your reading of the article is that further ellaboration is required.

P.S. can you 'sign' your comments with at least ~ (4 tilde characters) which will add your name and date. - David Rubentalk 19:16, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Mr. Smoot - for the sake of courtesy, I wanted to let you know that I removed your Sheila Jackson Lee quote from the tort reform article.  It's the second time, so I wanted to make sure you understood the reasons why, which are listed in the discussion portion of the article.  I apologize for not listing out my reasons before posting my first set of revisions.  Please do read my comments in their entirety and respond before altering the text again.  Thanks in advance. JDeke 02:22, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Sheila Jackson Lee quote
Bill, can you move your SJL quote section to the "Loser Pays" section, where it belongs, as we discussed in the talk page? Thanks. -- FRCP11 00:22, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Marine grade stainless

Marine grade stainless alloys typically contain molybdenum to resist the corrosive effects of NaCl or salt in seawater. Concentrations of salt in seawater can vary, and splash zones can cause concentrations to increase dramatically from the spray and evaporation.

SAE 316 stainless steel is a molybdenum-alloyed steel and the second most common austenitic stainless steel (after grade 304). It is the preferred steel for use in marine environments because of its greater resistance to pitting corrosion than most other grades of steel without molybdenum. The fact that it is negligibly responsive to magnetic fields means that it can be used in applications where a non-magnetic metal is required.

316 alloys
While 316 is not completely rust-proof, the alloy is more corrosion resistant than other common stainless steels. For example, surgical steel is made from subtypes of 316 stainless steel. In addition to molybdenum, 316 also contains a number of other elements in varying concentrations (see table below).

Non-standard grades include 316H which has a "high" carbon content of greater than 0.04% giving it a high creep rupture strength at high temperatures, 316L(Hi)N which is an extra-high nitrogen grade (0.16—0.30%), 316Ti which is stabilized by titanium, 316Cb which is stabilized by niobium (the code comes from "columbium", the former name, prevalent in the U.S., of niobium), 316L-SCQ which is a high-purity version of 316L, and 316LS which specially adapted for surgical implants.

Suitability for marine use
There is no industry recognized definition for a marine grade stainless steel, even though the phrase is routinely used by many end-users. Chloride ions can cause localized corrosive attack (pitting and crevice corrosion) of susceptible stainless steels. In a marine environment it must be made clear as to whether the stainless steel is submerged in seawater, or is simply near enough to the seashore such that it can be attacked by the chloride present in seawater by splashing or carried by onshore breeze.

When the stainless steel will be submerged, a pitting resistance equivalent number greater than 40 is typically specified as the minimum for resistance to seawater. Stainless steels, such as super austenitic stainless steels (for example UNS S31254 or N08367), or super duplex stainless steels (for example UNS S32760 or S32750) meet this requirement.

Near the seashore 316L is typically considered the minimum grade for use in such a marine environment.

Concentrations of chloride in seawater can vary, and splash zones can cause concentrations to increase dramatically by evaporation, thus the corrosive severity of marine environments can vary. The resistance of any stainless steel near the seashore will also be dependent on whether the stainless surface can be rinsed by rainfall, which will reduce the tendency for surface chlorides to concentrate by evaporation. Thus, the underside of overhangs will be more susceptible to corrosion due to lack of rinsing, also desert locations near the seashore will typically be more corrosive than seashores in locations with high rainfall.

Other marine grade alloys
Nitronic (trade name): Nitronic 50 is a fully austenitic grade (super austenitic, low magnetism), even when cold worked. Nitronic 60 is an example of a non-molybdenum grade performing well in seawater, being more resistant to pitting in sea water than 316 due to high levels of Si and N; the N also increases the yield strength.

1984 CFL season

The 1984 CFL season is considered to be the 31st season in modern-day Canadian football, although it is officially the 27th Canadian Football League season.

CFL News in 1984
The CFL granted a conditional expansion team to the city of Halifax, the team was named the Atlantic Schooners. The franchise were supposed to begin play in 1984. However, before the season started, ownership could not secure and provide the financing for a new stadium. Without a stadium in place, the Schooners folded without playing a single game in the CFL.

Calgary native Douglas H. Mitchell, Q.C. became the sixth CFL Commissioner in history on Friday, June 1, succeeding Jake Gaudaur who had served in that position since 1968.

In the fall, the CFL conducted a market research study with the fans in CFL cities.

The CFL, eliminated territorial exemptions, which allowed the 1985 Canadian College Draft to be more open – allowing teams to draft players from different regions.

The regular season started in June for the first time in league history, while Edmonton hosted its first Grey Cup championship game.

Shimmer (Bitter Grace album)

Shimmer is New York City's Bitter Grace's long-awaited follow up to God and the Abyss. While Shimmer did not take as long to release, seven years to the twelve it took to finish the previous, the band still underwent line-up changes through the period of recording and releasing this album, however not as severely. Both bassists recorded on this album have left the band, though one of the guitarists that has been recorded here eventually returned in late 2005 just prior to its release after a hiatus.

The difference in sound between God and the Abyss and Shimmer is striking, with the new direction of the band adding more elements of electronic dance music and a generally dancier sound. Keyboards are more prominent than before and the sound is less garage-centric and more melodic.

The album itself is not released yet. Some tracks have been available for a while online and two initial singles, "Shimmering" and "Slave", have been receiving college and Internet radio airplay. Shimmer tells a modern-day gothic fairy tale about "the very clever boy, who was really never quite that clever" and the tracks themselves lead the story along.

Talk:Timeline of the history of Gibraltar/Archive 1

No history before 1704?

 * There seems to be some people who simply would like to use this page to portray the "Gibraltarians struggle to remain British". No interest whatsoever in any History unless this contributes to enhance their POV
 * For the same reason, there is no mention of anything that happened before 1704 and any controversial issue is brushed aside (i.e.: "The Spaniards decided to leave after a brief siege" and similar euphemisms)
 * I added the category History of Spain, as this is indeed part of Spanish History: The siege took place because the War of Spanish Sucession

Hopefully, with some hard work this article could be made to be more neutral Asterion 02:39, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Removals by Gibraltarian
As usual, Gibraltarian removes and doesn't explain:
 * First removal: But Sir George Rooke, the British admiral, on his own responsibility caused the British flag to be hoisted, and took possession in name of Queen Anne, whose government ratified the occupation.

All the Spanish sources that I've read state that George Rook took possession of the Rock in name of her queen, once the city had been conquered. If that's not true, as Gibraltarian claims, it would be good to know when Union Jack and not the flag of the Austrian Pretender began to wave in Gibraltar.

 * Second removal: . San Roque official motto "The town of San Roque, where that of Gibraltar lives on" (in Spanish: 'La Ciudad de San Roque, donde reside la de Gibraltar').

Which is the problem in knowing that San Roque, as many of the Gibraltarians of that time settled there, claims to be the heir of Gibraltar? In fact, both cities have the same coat of arms. --Ecemaml 14:54, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Again your obsession clouds everything. Your allegations against Rooke are not true. your "spanish sources" are those created by revisionist historians with a chip on their shoulder. Gibraltar was taken in the name of Archduke Charles. There was one British flag flown during the battle, by the troops who had landed in the area of the South Mole, and raised this in order to signal to the ships not to shell that location. The motto of San Roque has nothing to do with Gibraltar, it is for the San Roque history, not Gibraltar's. There is no accurate historical record of how many people left Gibraltar for San Roque, nor how long they had been in Gibraltar previously. The overwhelming number of inhabitants were of a transitory nature, not necessarily "permanently" settled on the rock.--Gibraltarian 17:49, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Sure, my sources are revisionists and cannot compare to yours but... again, can you simply tell us when did the Union Jack begin to wave in Gibraltar? According any source you can query, Gibraltar was declared a free port in 1706 by queen Anna. So that, at sometime between 1704 and 1706, Gibraltar became a Britain possession. Can you tell as when?

With regard to San Roque, I can't understand why you insist in denying that San Roque was founded by refugees from Gibraltar. I'm not saying how many, but some of the inhabitants of Gibraltar refused to be under the rule of Archduke Charles or Britain and left the city (again, your claim that "The overwhelming number of inhabitants were of a transitory nature" is just your POV; at the same time you're saying that "There is no accurate historical record of how many people left Gibraltar for San Roque, nor how long they had been in Gibraltar previously"! So, how can you state the former to be true?) --Ecemaml 18:49, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Again, I'm just waiting the information regarding when the occupation of Gibraltar was left to the British (considering the 1706 date as establishment of the free port). I'd also like to know the sources of the "connection" between the so-called palomos and the Spanish government (I'm not denying it; I'd just like to know if there is a reliable source of it's pure propaganda, as that of Fidel Castro agains dissidents, always accused of being foreing agents). And please, stick to the question and avoid personal attacks. --Ecemaml 15:46, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Ecemaml, considering your disgraceful violations of WP principle, not to mention the violations of basic common decency that you have shown previously, I find your attitude most distasteful impertinent. Do not accuse me of propaganda, as you are the master of it. It is not possible to reason or reach consensus with an obsessed troll such as yourself, whose sole "raison d'etre" is to create discord and disharmony, and to attempt by any means possible (including lies, innuendos, propaganda) to blacken the name of Gibraltar. Get a life!

Trying again to settle differences (even if Gibraltarian just uses ad hominem arguments):

 * The following paragraph has been removed: At sometime after the takeover of the city, sir George Rooke, the British admiral, on his own responsibility caused the British flag to be hoisted, and took possession in name of Queen Anne, whose government ratified the occupation. Gibraltarian arguments are Allegations against Sir George Rooke are untrue and unfounded

 * My position is as follows. It seems out of discusion that the Rock was taken in the name of the Archduke by a British-Dutch fleet under the command of Prince George of Hesse-Darmstadt. It seems also that in 1706 a decree of queen Anne declared Gibraltar a free port. Prince George of Hesse-Darmstadt left the rock sometimes between 1704 and 1705 (since he dead in the siege of Barcelona in 1705). Therefore, sometimes between both dates (August 1704 and February 1706) the Union Jack should have been waved in Gibraltar. When? Gibraltarian should know (he's Gibraltarian and the Rock celebrated in 2004 the third centenary of the "independence"; quite strange if the Rock just passed from the hands of a Spanish pretender to another). Finally, the article Governor of Gibraltar explicitly says: British ocupation.

 * Also removed (in bold): Considering themselves the real Gibraltarians, those who left took with them many important objects of Gibraltar's history, including the statue of the Holy Crowned Virgin Mary, and the historical documents signed by the Spanish Catholic Monarchs in 1502, granting Gibraltar's coat of arms. These objects remain nowadays in the nearby San Roque chapel (therefore San Roque official motto is "The town of San Roque, where that of Gibraltar lives on", in Spanish: 'La Ciudad de San Roque, donde reside la de Gibraltar').

 * The people who left Gibraltar (many or few, it doesn't matter, considered themselves the real Gibraltarians; therefore, they took the symbols of his town and created a new settlement that not only retained the same coat of arms, but also the name. It that's considered not relevant, the middle part of the paragraph (that saying that those who left took with them many important objects of Gibraltar's history, including the statue of the Holy Crowned Virgin Mary, and the historical documents signed by the Spanish Catholic Monarchs in 1502, granting Gibraltar's coat of arms. These objects remain nowadays in the nearby San Roque chapel) should be also removed, since important context is being dismissed.

 * Also removed the mentions to the controversial neutral zone: ". The neutral territory exists to this day between the North Face of the Rock and the Spanish town of La Linea. and The British constructed a fence at the neutral territory. The British government claims that such a construction is the Britain's side of the neutral territory (according to them, in fact the fence was actually 1 metre inside British territory).

 * As long as the Spanish government never ceded such a neutral territory (it's not mentioned in the Treaty of Utrecht), it would be interesting to see the arguments of the other side with regard to the occupation of the isthmus. Since maybe the first mention should not be present (but in Disputed status of Gibraltar), I can't see why the second one is removed.

Please, can you stop your personal attacks and provide required information? --Ecemaml 11:09, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

 * You are an obsessed troll and I am not going to spend my life educating you. Go back to school if you wish to learn more. The "isthmus" as you call it WAS indeed ceded in Utrecht, (together with forts, fortifications etc) and further clarified in Versailles 1783. It is only "controversial" because you make it so.

 * Some sources added (you can read Spanish, so that you're kindly invited to read it). I've corrected the mention to George Rooke since you was right. It was an apocryphal legend. With regard to the isthmus, please, you know that you're lying. Here you have the text of the Treaty (from http://www.gibnet.com/texts/utrect.htm):

"The Catholic King does hereby, for himself, his heirs and successors, yield to the Crown of Great Britain the full and entire propriety of the town and castle of Gibraltar, together with the port, fortifications, and forts thereunto belonging"

 * As you can see, there is no mention to the isthmus. Best regards --Ecemaml 12:58, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Ecemaml, the ONLY liar here is you! You are a troll, and post with the sole purpose of creating discord. The proof of this is your insistence on making allegations against Sir George Rooke, which you have now withdrawn, accepting at as pure invention. Not content with this you include the story anyway, but mention it as untrue. Why bother even adding a story which you know is not true, other than to cause dispute? You have shown your true colours.

With regard the "Isthmus" it was standard accepted International Law that territories extended to the distance of two cannon shots. There were sentry posts along the current line of the frontier, also the Devils Tower and Torre del Tuerto. This clearly covers the whole area in question.

Discussion
As there is a global disagreement on Gibraltar-related articles, discussion is "taking place" in Talk:Disputed status of Gibraltar. --Ecemaml 13:17, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

... to make it accurate and neutral
Some data constantly removed by Gibraltarian to make it accurate and neutral (sic):

 * However, the Gibraltar area, such as the rest of the South Iberian Peninsula was part of the Byzantine Empire during the second part of the 6th century (reverting afterwards to the Visigoth Kingdom).

 * 1309 - ... The Spaniards took the Upper Rock from where the town was bombarded. The garrison surrendered after one month. Gibraltar then had about 1,500 inhabitants.

 * 1607 April 25 - During the Eighty Years War, a Dutch fleet surprised and engaged a Spanish fleet anchored at the Bay of Gibraltar (Battle of Gibraltar).

 * 1701 September - England, Netherlands and Austria sign the Treaty of the Hague.

 * 1702 - The War of the Spanish Succession starts.

 * 1703 February 12 - The Archduke Charles is proclaimed king of Castile and Aragon in Vienna. He takes the name of Charles III.

(There is usually a discrepancy on the chronology between Spanish and British sources. The reason is that England still used the Julian calendar. By 1704, the Julian calendar was eleven days behind the Gregorian. Therefore, the siege began on 21 July according to the Julian calendar)

 * 1704 August 1 - During the War of the Spanish Succession, and when returning from a failed expedition to Barcelona,...

 * 1704 August 4 - ... (a map on the situation of attacking forces can be seen in The Attack on Gibraltar. Friday 2nd August 1704 in the Gibraltar Chronicle)

 * The beginning of the English/British occupation of Gibraltar has been over the time imprecise... (for instance, in its speech at the United Nations in 1994, the Gibraltar Chief Minister Joe Bossano stated that Gibraltar has been a British colony ever since it was taken by Britain in 1704 ).

 * 1704 August 7 ... These objects (see San Roque Council Web site, in Spanish) remain nowadays in San Roque (therefore San Roque official motto is "The town of San Roque, where that of Gibraltar lives on", in Spanish: 'La Ciudad de San Roque, donde reside la de Gibraltar', see San Roque Council Web site, in Spanish). Only about seventy people remained in the city (most of them religious or belonging to the Genovese trader colony; see list in ). The traditions of the villages that received the refugees still talk of this departure as the Exodus of Gibraltar (Éxodo de Gibraltar).

Although nominally in the hands of the Archduke Charles, Britain began to monopolize the rule of the town. Even if the formal transfer of sovereignty would not take place until the signature of the Treaty of Utrecht, the British Governor and garrison become the de facto rulers of the town.

 * 1706 February - By a special decree, Queen Anne declares Gibraltar a free port (upon request of the Sultan of Morocco, to be allowed to supply the town) (while the Catholic Encyclopedia provides this date, the Gibraltarian government dates it to 1705). Spanish sources points out that, at that very moment, the English monarch lacked of de jure titles to do so, since Gibraltar was yet a possession of one of the pretenders to the Spanish Throne, not ceded by any Spanish power to England.

 * 1711 - The British government, now in the hands of the tories, order the British Gibraltar governor, Thomas Stanwix, to expell any foreign (not British) troops. Although he answered positively, he let a German regiment to stay. It would remain there until 1713 March.

 * 1721 March - Philip V of Spain requests the restitution of Gibraltar to proceed to the renewal of the trade licenses of Great Britain with the Spanish possesions in America.

 * 1721 June 1 - George I sends a letter to Philip V promising "to make use of the first favourable Opportunity to regulate this Article (the Demand touching the Restitution of Gibraltar), with the Consent of my Parliament" . However, the British Parliament would never endorse such promise.

 * 1727 February-June - Second of the sieges by Spain trying to recapture Gibraltar (Thirteenth Siege of Gibraltar). Depending on the sources, Spanish troops were between 12,000 and 25,000. British defenders were 1,500 at the begining of the siege, increasing up to about 5,000. After a five-month siege with several unsuccessful and costly attempts, Spanish troops give up and retire.

 * 1730 - A Belgian Engineer, the Marquis of Verboom, Chief Engineer of the Spanish Royal Engineer Corps, who has taken part in the 1727 siege, ... The fortifications, known to the British as the Spanish Lines, and to Spain as La Línea de Contravalación are the origin of modern-day town of La Línea de la Concepción.

 * 1779 June - In the midst of the American Revolutionary War, Spain declares war against Great Britain (France had done it the year before)

 * 1783 February...
 * In 1782, work on the Great Siege Tunnels starts. Those tunnels would became a great and complex system of underground fortifications which nowadays criss-crosses the inside of the Rock. Once the Siege was over, the fortifications were rebuilt and, in the following century, the walls were lined with Portland limestone. Such stone give the walls their present white appearance.

 * 1815 April 20 - An isolation camp to prevent the spread of the epidemic outside the fortress walls is set up in the neutral ground. This fact can be tracked as the beginning of the present-day dispute with Spain over the isthmus sovereignty (see Disputed status of Gibraltar). A communication from the British Governor to the Spanish authorites was held. While Spanish sources account that it was a request for permission, modern-day Gibraltarian and UK sources account this as a mere information for reasons of public health and courtesy, since, according to them, the area is British territory so no permission was required.

 * This one replaced with:
 * The British authorities at Gibraltar constructed an isolation camp to prevent the spread of the epidemic outside the fortress walls. The Spanish government was informed of this for reasons of public health and courtesy, but this has been interpreted by revisionist historians as requesting permission for this. As far as the British government was concerned, the area is British territory so no permission was required. This fact can be tracked as the beginning of the present-day dispute with Spain over the isthmus sovereignty.

 * 1894 - The construction of the dockyards starts.

 * The repatriation of the civilians started in 1944 and proceeded for some six years. However most of the population had returned by 1946

 * 1941 - ... (see Hitler's Directive No.18 here)...

 * 1942 - Spain "occupies" the remaining of the neutral zone (map). The Spanish government states that it does so to prevent further British annexation.

 * 1965 April - The British Government publishes a White Paper dealing with the question of Gibraltar and the Treaty of Utrecht.

 * 1966 - In response, the Spanish Foreign Office Minister Fernando Castiella, publishes and presents to the Spanish Courts the Spanish Red Book (named so because of its cover; its reference is "Negociaciones sobre Gibraltar. Documentos presentados a las Cortes Españolas por el Ministro de Asuntos Exteriores", Madrid, 1967)

 * 1967 - ... Although the Spanish goverment gets a diplomatic triumph in the United Nations (since the resolution 2353 states that the holding of the referendum [...] to be a contravention of the provisions of General Assembly resolution 2231 (XXI)), it has virtually no effect in the politic life of Gibraltar.

 * 1969 - ... (this fact is another disagreement in the present-day relationships with the Spanish government, since a solution for the pensions corresponding to the period of time those Spanish workers had worked in Gibraltar is pursued).

 * 2002	: A group of Spaniards, claiming to be the descendants of some of the population that left the town after the takeover in 1704, asked for the right to vote also in the referendum (in Spanish). They were not allowed to do so.

 * 2004 August - Gibraltar celebrates 300 years of British rule. Spanish officials labeled this as the celebration of 300 years of British occupation (since soveraingty on the colony was not ceded until 1713).

 * 2004 December - The governments of the United Kingdom and Spain agree to allow the Gibraltar government to represent itself in a new open agenda discussion forum.

 * 2004 November 18 - A joint commission (Comisión mixta de Cooperación y Colaboración) is established between the Mancomunidad de Municipios de la Comarca del Campo de Gibraltar (the Council Association of the Gibraltar County, the Spanish area that surround Gibraltar) and the Gibraltarian government.
 * 2004 October 28 - The governments of the United Kingdom and Spain agree to allow the Gibraltar government to represent itself in a new open agenda discussion forum (tripartite talks).

 * 2005 July 11 - First tripartite talks takes place in Portugal.

 * "Gibraltar. La razón y la fuerza" (Gibraltar. The reason and the force), by Isidro Sepúlveda, Ed. Alianza Editorial, 2004, ISBN 84-206-4184-7.

For sure, all these deletions must prove that it's me the troll. --Ecemaml 09:27, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Disputed
Gibraltarian pretends that the current version of the article is neutral and accurate. You can see an extended version that also introduces the Spanish POV in History of Gibraltar/temp. It includes all the information mentioned in the section before. --Ecemaml 09:43, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * It is not the "spanish" POV, merely your own, which is based upon years of Franco inspired propaganda, and your clear racist attitude towards Gibraltarians. You are a troll, go elsewhere if you wish to cause trouble.--Gibraltarian 09:37, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Gibraltarian, it seems that your clock stopped in 1969. Fortunatelly, in Spain Franco died thirty years ago. Can you point out which elements that you insist in removing are Franco's propaganda and why? --Ecemaml 10:17, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Franco may have died, but his policies and attitudes are unfortunately very much alive.--Gibraltarian 11:38, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, in both sides, as you constantly show. Lack of respect for the people that doesn't think as you like, claimed possesion of the truth... But apart from your ad hominem argumentation, I ask you again, can you point out which elements that you insist in removing are Franco's propaganda and why? --Ecemaml 12:55, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I will NOT spend my days justifying myself to a troll!--Gibraltarian 15:00, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

I have no idea who is right or no, I'm just interested in reading about this article for research, but obviously you're lacking arguments my dear Gibraltarian...

 * Warning! The discussion on this article is taking place in Talk:Disputed_status_of_Gibraltar. Sources and justifications are being provided. --Ecemaml 10:06, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm new to this debate, but, FWIW... The proposed version at /temp History of Gibraltar/temp seems fairly neutral. I'll have to look up a few things to verify them, but that's for later. Possible omission in the WWII section is bombing of Gibraltar by the French Air Force after their fleet was destroyed at Oran to pervent it falling into Nazi hands. Made a couple of typo corrections. Not sure about bit about Tireless, but will think about it and put something better in when I get the form of words right. Controversy continues, as Spain now protests whenever a nuclear submarine visits Gibraltar, so difficult to write it completely objectively.

However, the issue is contentious, and I agree that a version of the history is perhaps easier to settle on than one on the dispute itself, which is still highly charged in Gibraltar, and with some Spaniards. I've had trouble getting my head round the maze of comments to get at the sense. There will probably always be two versions of the history (if not three), but they can be presented side by side with the emotional charge removed. I don't agree with all statements, but they are the Spanish view, as long as the British/Gibraltarian view is given equal prominence I have no problem with that. The intelligent and open-minded can make their own minds up. Rockeagle 21:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Protected
I protected the page. It seems to be the only way to stop Gibraltarian. I'm going to indefinitely block his user account. This will give us the chance to block any sockpuppets he uses. I've had enough. He's violating 3RR every day. Time to end this. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 16:07, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I Beg your pardon???? It is Ecemaml the troll who has been ignoring the 3rr rule. I will NOT permit him to use WP to spread his racist anti-British, and anti-Gibraltar fascist inspired propaganda. NO WAY! It is also a gross abuse of the powers of an admin to arbitrarily decide to indefinately suspend someone's account for merely defending truth, accuracy and NPOV, when you igniore the antics of a troll like Ecemaml. This is what Ecemaml wanted right along, and Woohookitty has been played by him like a puppet. What a farce! Gibraltarian

 * Dude, calm down. If you want to prove your point, why don't you post something on your arbitration page? And even if Ecemaml is indeed a troll, he still doesn't deserve any personal attacks - please read WP:NPA. If you have evidence that Ecemaml is indeed causing trouble, please present it to us on your arbitration page. You, with your personal attacks, are only discrediting yourself by doing so. --TML1988 21:51, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

 * And, he hasn't "played me". Good god. I'm an admin. That means that I'm basically like a police officer. I am here to uphold policy. I haven't even read either article you've been hitting!!! I blocked you, Gibraltarian, because of your constant personal attacks. I'm here to uphold policy and nothing more. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 22:46, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Star Speedway

Star Speedway is a short-track oval race track located in Epping, New Hampshire. It hosts a tour-type modified stock car racing division under the management of the Webber family.

History
Star Speedway opened in 1966, having been primarily built by Charlie Elliot, a contractor, restaurant owner, and car enthusiast from nearby Dover, New Hampshire. The prior year, Elliot had gone into business with Kendall C. Smith and local journalist Russ Conway to build a race track on what had formerly been Star Brick Yard in Epping, New Hampshire. Elliot, Smith, and Conway sold their interests in the track by late 1983, when they purchased Lee Raceway (later known as Lee USA Speedway) in nearby Lee, New Hampshire.

The track has a long history of notable drivers, highlighted by Ollie Silva, a modified and supermodified standout who won features races from Canada to Florida with less-than-top equipment. In the 1970s, Star Speedway hosted modified and supermodified races weekly, and Silva's battles with "Big Daddy" Don McLaren, Eddie West, Jim Cheney, Dick Batchelder, and Paul Richardson provided fans with great thrills and memories. The speedway also held promotional races featuring some Boston Bruins players. It even hosted what was then thought to be the heaviest wedding cake in history, tipping the scales at over 700 lb.

Star Speedway hosted one NASCAR North Tour race in 1985. The track hosted 20 NASCAR Busch North Series events between 1987 and 2001, and four NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour events between 1985 and 1990.

Since 2000
The track struggled in the early years of the 21st century, often failing town inspection.

In 2008, Robert MacArthur took over the management, renamed the speedway "All-STAR", and promoted a very aggressive and diverse program including Supermodifieds, Modifieds and Late Models. Unfortunately, the promotion did not draw enough fans to be successful, leaving the track and promoter seriously in debt.

The track was closed for most of the 2010 season due to issues between track manager and promoter MacArthur and the town of Epping. The track was permitted by the town of Epping to be open for three days at the end of October, subject to the completion of required repairs to the facility.

The facility had two ACT Late Model Tour races, one in 2013 and the other in 2019.

The track hosts the Star Classic every fall, featuring the ISMA Super Modifieds. Drivers such as Chris Perley (the 2005 winner), Russ Wood, Mike Ordway and Indianapolis 500 veteran Bentley Warren have participated in the 200-lap race.

Owner Bob Webber has been operating the track since the departure of MacArthur and has made many improvements. Star Speedway currently hosts many popular touring series including PASS, ISMA, Granite State Pro Stock, Tri-Track modified and Northeast Classic Lites to name some. Star Speedway "sold out" an event in 2015, something never seen before in the modern era.

José Mujica

José Alberto "Pepe" Mujica Cordano (born 20 May 1935) is a Uruguayan politician, former revolutionary and farmer who served as the 40th president of Uruguay from 2010 to 2015. A former guerrilla with the Tupamaros, he was tortured and imprisoned for 14 years during the military dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s. A member of the Broad Front coalition of left-wing parties, Mujica was Minister of Livestock, Agriculture, and Fisheries from 2005 to 2008 and a Senator afterwards. As the candidate of the Broad Front, he won the 2009 presidential election and took office as president on 1 March 2010. He was the Second Gentleman of Uruguay from 13 September 2017 to 1 March 2020, when his wife Lucia Topolansky was vice president under his immediate predecessor and successor, Tabaré Vázquez.

Mujica has been described as "the world's humblest head of state" due to his austere lifestyle and his donation of around 90 percent of his $12,000 monthly salary to charities that benefit poor people and small entrepreneurs. An outspoken critic of capitalism's focus on stockpiling material possessions which do not contribute to human happiness, he has been praised by the media and journalists for his philosophical ideologies; the Times Higher Education referred to him as the "philosopher president" in 2015, a play on words of Plato's conception of the philosopher king.

Early life
Mujica was born on 20 May 1935 in the neighbourhood of Paso de la Arena in the capital city of Montevideo to Demetrio Mujica and Lucy Cordano. Demetrio was a descendant of a Spanish Basque family, originating from Muxika in the province of Biscay; his family arrived in Uruguay in 1842. Demetrio was a farmer who went bankrupt shortly before his death in 1940 when José was five years old. Lucy was born in Carmelo to poor Italian immigrants from Liguria, with origins from Favale di Malvaro and Val Fontanabuona in the province of Genoa. Upon her birth, her parents had bought 2 ha in Colonia Estrella to cultivate vineyards.

Upon completing his primary and secondary studies, Mujica enrolled at the Alfredo Vásquez Acevedo Institute for his undergraduate studies, but did not finish. Between the ages of 13 and 17, Mujica cycled for several clubs in different categories. He was also active in the National Party, where he became close to Enrique Erro.

Guerrilla
In the mid-1960s, Mujica joined the newly formed MLN-Tupamaros movement, a far-left armed political group inspired by the Cuban Revolution. He participated in the brief 1969 takeover of Pando, a town close to Montevideo, leading one of six squads assaulting strategic points in the city. Mujica's team was charged with taking over the telephone exchange and was the only one to complete the operation without any mishaps. In March 1970 Mujica was gunned down while resisting arrest at a Montevideo bar; he injured two policemen and was in turn shot six times. The surgeon on call at the hospital saved his life. Tupamaros claimed that the surgeon was secretly Tupamaro and this is why his life was saved. In reality the doctor was simply following ordinary medical ethics. At the time, the president of Uruguay was the controversial Jorge Pacheco Areco, who had suspended certain constitutional guarantees in response to MLN and Communist unrest.

Mujica was captured by the authorities on four occasions. He was among the more than 100 Tupamaros who escaped Punta Carretas Prison in September 1971 by digging a tunnel from inside the prison that led to the living room of a nearby home. Mujica was re-captured less than a month after escaping, but escaped Punta Carretas once more in April 1972. On that occasion he and about a dozen other escapees fled riding improvised wheeled planks down the tunnel dug by Tupamaros from outside the prison. He was re-apprehended for the last time in 1972, unable to resist arrest. In the months that followed, the country underwent the military coup in 1973. In the meantime, Mujica and eight other Tupamaros were especially chosen to remain under military custody and in squalid conditions. In all, he spent 13 years in captivity. During the 1970s and 1980s, this included being confined to the bottom of an old, emptied horse-watering trough for more than two years. During his time in prison, Mujica had a number of health problems, particularly mental issues. Although his two closest cellmates, Eleuterio Fernández Huidobro and Mauricio Rosencof, often managed to communicate with each other, they rarely managed to bring Mujica into the conversation. According to Mujica himself, at the time he was experiencing auditory hallucinations and related forms of paranoia.

In 1985, when constitutional democracy was restored, Mujica was freed under an amnesty law that covered political and related military crimes committed since 1962. Several years after the restoration of democracy, Mujica and many Tupamaros joined other left-wing organizations to create the Movement of Popular Participation, a political party that was accepted within the Broad Front coalition.

In the 1994 general elections, Mujica was elected deputy and in the elections of 1999 he was elected senator. Due in part to Mujica's charisma, the MPP continued to grow in popularity and votes, and by 2004, it had become the largest faction within the Broad Front. In the elections of that year, Mujica was re-elected to the Senate, and the MPP obtained over 300,000 votes, thus consolidating its position as the top political force within the coalition and a major force behind the victory of presidential candidate Tabaré Vázquez. Mujica was then elected in 2009 as president in the following elections.

Minister of Agriculture
On 1 March 2005, President Tabaré Vázquez designated Mujica as the Minister of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries (Mujica's own professional background was in the agricultural sector). Upon becoming minister, Mujica resigned his position as senator. He held this position until a cabinet change in 2008, when he resigned and was replaced by Ernesto Agazzi. Mujica then returned to his seat in the Senate.

Political positions
Mujica's political ideology has evolved over the years from orthodox to pragmatist. In recent times he has expressed a desire for a more flexible political left. His speaking style and manner are credited as part of his growing popularity since the late 1990s, especially among rural and poor sectors of the population. He has been variously described as an "antipolitician" and a man who "speaks the language of the people" while also receiving criticism for untimely or inappropriate remarks. Unlike President Vázquez, who vetoed a bill put forward by parliament that would make abortions legal, Mujica has stated that should it come before him in the future, he would not veto such a bill. In the sphere of international relations, he hoped to further negotiations and agreements between the European Union and the regional trade bloc Mercosur, of which Uruguay is a founding member. On the Uruguay River pulp mill dispute between Argentina and Uruguay, Mujica was more conciliatory toward the Argentine government than the previous administration, and in 2010 the two nations ended their long-running dispute and signed an agreement detailing an environmental monitoring plan of the river and the setting up of a binational commission. Good personal relations between Mujica and Argentinian counterpart Cristina Fernández de Kirchner helped lead to the accord. Other bilateral issues remain unsolved, including the dredging of the shared access channel of the River Plate. He was close to Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, whom he considered to be "the most generous ruler I have ever known." In 2011, he spoke out against the military operations launched by several Western countries against Libya. When asked about Brazilian President Lula da Silva's decision to receive Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he answered it was a "genius move" because "The more Iran is fenced in, the worse it will be for the rest of the world."

Even though President Vázquez favored his Finance Minister Danilo Astori as the presidential candidate of the then-unified Broad Front to succeed him in 2010, Mujica's broad appeal and growing support within the party posed a challenge to the president. On 14 December 2008, The Extraordinary Congress "Zelmar Michelini" (a party convention) proclaimed Mujica as the official candidate of the Broad Front for the primary elections of 2009, but four more precandidates were allowed to participate, including Astori. On 28 June 2009, Mujica won the primary elections becoming the presidential candidate of the Broad Front for the 2009 general election. After that, Astori agreed to be his running mate. Their campaign was centered on the concept of continuing and deepening the policies of the highly popular administration of Vázquez, using the slogan "Un gobierno honrado, un país de primera" ("An honorable government - a first-class country") – indirectly referencing cases of administrative corruption within the former government of the major opposition candidate, conservative Luis Alberto Lacalle. During the campaign, Mujica distanced himself from the governing style of presidents like Hugo Chávez (Venezuela) or Evo Morales (Bolivia), claiming the center-left governments of Brazilian Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva or Chilean socialist Michelle Bachelet as regional examples upon which he would model his administration. Known for his informal style of dress, Mujica donned a suit (without a tie) for some stops in the presidential campaign, notably during visits to regional heads of state.

In October 2009, Mujica won a plurality of over 48 percent of the votes compared to 30 percent for former president Lacalle, falling short of the majority required by the constitution, while at the same time renewing the Broad Front's parliamentary majority for the next legislature (2010–2015). A runoff was then held on 29 November to determine the winner; on 30 November Mujica emerged as the victor, with more than 52% of the vote over Lacalle's 43%. In his first speech as president-elect before a crowd of supporters, Mujica acknowledged his political adversaries and called for unity, stating that there would be "no winners or losers". He added that "it is a mistake to think that power comes from above when it comes from within the hearts of the masses (...) it has taken me a lifetime to learn this fact".

Government
Mujica formed a cabinet made up of politicians from the different components of the Broad Front, conceding the area of economics to aides of his vice president Danilo Astori.

In June 2012, Mujica's government made a controversial move to legalize state-controlled sales of marijuana in Uruguay in order to fight drug-related crimes and health issues, and stated that they would ask global leaders to do the same. Mujica said that by regulating Uruguay's estimated $40 million-a-year marijuana business, the state would take it away from drug traffickers, and weaken the drug cartels. The state would also be able to keep track of all marijuana consumers in the country and provide treatment to the most serious abusers, much like that which is done with alcoholics. Mujica also passed a same-sex marriage law and legalized abortion for women.

In September 2013, Mujica addressed the United Nations General Assembly, with a long speech devoted to humanity and globalization. The speech called on the international community to strengthen efforts to preserve the planet for future generations and highlighted the power of the financial systems and the impact of economic fallout on ordinary people. He urged a return to simplicity, with lives founded on human relationships, love, friendship, adventure, solidarity and family, instead of lives shackled to the economy and the markets. Parts of his speech were incorporated into the intro to the song Santiago on Newen Afrobeat's first album.

In general terms, its policy was in line with the previous mandate. The share of social expenditure in total public expenditure thus rose from 60.9% to 75.5% between 2004 and 2013. During this period, the unemployment rate remained at about 7%, the national poverty rate was reduced from 18% to 9.7% and the minimum wage was raised from UYU$4,800 to UYU$10,000 (average annual inflation rate of 7%) and the Government's debt raised from 59% to 65%. It also supported the strengthening of trade unions. According to the International Trade Union Confederation, Uruguay has become the most advanced country in the Americas in terms of respect for "fundamental labor rights, in particular freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining and the right to strike".

Mujica was barred from running for reelection in 2014; the Constitution does not allow presidents to run for immediate reelection. Thus, on 1 March 2015, Mujica's term as president came to an end. He was succeeded by Vázquez, who returned to office for a second non-consecutive term. According to BBC correspondent Wyre Davies, "Mujica left office with a relatively healthy economy and with social stability those bigger neighbors could only dream of."

Personal life
In 2005, Mujica married Lucía Topolansky, a fellow former Tupamaros member, after many years of living together. They have no children and live on a farm owned by Topolansky on the outskirts of Montevideo, where they cultivate chrysanthemums for sale, having declined to live in the presidential palace or to use its staff. The couple own several pets, formerly including a three-legged dog, Manuela. Topolansky briefly served as acting president in November 2010 while her husband took part in a business delegation to Spain and Vice President Astori was on an official trip to Antarctica. Before then, she served in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate.

Mujica has drawn worldwide attention for his simple lifestyle. He has used a 1987 Volkswagen Beetle and his 60-year-old bicycle as means of transportation. In 2010, the value of the car was $1,800 and represented the entirety of the mandatory annual personal wealth declaration filed by Mujica for that year. In November 2014, the Uruguayan newspaper Búsqueda reported that he had been offered 1 million dollars for the car; he said that if he did get 1 million dollars for the car, it would be donated to house the homeless through a program that he supports.

Mujica is an atheist. In 2017, Mujica discussed his beliefs: "My doubts with God are philosophical. Or maybe I believe in God. Maybe I don't know [...] Or maybe, as I'm getting closer to death, I need it." He has spoken positively of the Catholic Church, which he acknowledged is "deeply entwined" in Latin American identity.

Mujica is an avid football fan and supports his local team Cerro. When the Uruguay national football team returned from their World Cup campaign in 2014 at Carrasco International Airport, and following FIFA suspending Luis Suárez from all football activities for four months after biting Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini, Mujica criticised the organisation, calling them "sons of bitches" who meted out "fascist" treatments. Realizing he was being filmed, Mujica covered his mouth. Journalists then asked if they could publish his remark, to which he replied in laughter yes.

On April 2024, Mujica announced that he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, which was found during a physical examination, adding that the risks to his condition were aggravated by a preexisting autoimmune disease.

International relevance
During the last months of 2013, Serbian film director Emir Kusturica started shooting a documentary on the life of Mujica, El Pepe, una vida suprema released in 2018, whom he considers "the last hero of politics". In 2014 Italian author Frank Iodice wrote the book Breve dialogo sulla felicità, which centers on the life of Mujica. Ten thousand copies of the book were printed and distributed for free to local school children. In June 2016, Mujica received the Order of the Flag of Republika Srpska from the president of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik.

Uruguayan film director Álvaro Brechner's 2018 film A Twelve-Year Night (La noche de 12 años) was based on Mujica's 12-year-long prison life under military dictatorship. It premiered in official selection at the 75th Venice International Film Festival, and it was selected as the Uruguayan entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards. The film won the Golden Pyramid Award at the 40th Cairo International Film Festival.

During a talk at the 28th Guadalajara International Book Fair (Mexico), on Sunday 7 December 2014, Mujica was interviewed by Mexican journalist Ricardo Rocha. Uruguay's president addressed several topics, such as drug trafficking, drug legalization, poverty and social injustice. "We live on the most unjust continent in the world, probably the richest, but with the worst distribution [of wealth]." On Latin America, José Mujica stated that he was "passionate about bringing Latin Americans together, about what defines us as belonging to a great nation that is to be created. There are multinational states, like China, like India, like what Europe is doing after a history of wars." Mujica also addressed the question of the shared linguistic heritage of Latin Americans, remarking with respect to the region's two major languages that "Portuguese is a sweet Spanish, if you speak it slowly... and even more so if it has a feminine sweetness." And he pointed out another element that unites the countries in Latin America: "We have another identity: the Christian and Catholic tradition." He concluded his talk by adding: "I see that there are many young people here; as an old man, a little advice: Life can set us a lot of snares, a lot of bumps, we can fail a thousand times, in life, in love, in the social struggle, but, if we search for it, we'll have the strength to get up again and start over. The most beautiful thing about the day is that it dawns. There is always a dawn after the night has passed. Don't forget it, kids. The only losers are the ones who stop fighting."

In 2021, Carolina DeRobertis published a novel based on Mujica’s life, entitled The President and the Frog (published in 2022 as El presidente y la rana).

Discussion

 * The edits on Creationism should be put in other places. Mainly this is on physics topics and there are a lot of other possibilities to create new articles on Creationism and relationship with/or/and second law of thermodynamics. I am waiting your response. -- Bonaparte   talk  13:11, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I suggest you create new articles for Creationism and relationship with/or/and second law of thermodynamics and let the article of second law of thermodynamics free of ambiguous links. -- Bonaparte  talk  13:11, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Bonaparte, thank you for your interest and for leaving me this message, let me now respond as best I can.

You speak of two things - science, and religion. To accord each the proper respect, a good encyclopedia (as a forum of secondary, not primary, research) must take care to use appropriate source material for each. In an article about Christianity, for example, source material might include the Bible, the works of biblical scholars and theologians, recognized leaders of various communities including the Pope, position papers produced by organizations such as the ELCA, etc...

In an article about science, proper source material includes papers published in reputable peer-reviewed journals of scientific research, as well as derivative work based on these such as college textbooks.

What you seek is to use one scientific theory - the second law of thermodynamics, against another scientific theory - the theory of evolution. You believe you have found a contradiction, such that one of these theories must win at the expense of the other. You also believe the loser will turn out to be evolution. Ok. Then what you are talking about here is clearly science, not religion. Therefore, as an encyclopedia, we must look to the scientific forums of primary research to evaluate and sort out your claims.

If there is well-received discussion in a reputable peer-reviewed forum of scientific research on the field of thermodynamics or else a journal of biology regarding possible incompatibilities between the 2nd law of thermodynamics and the theory of evolution, then this might already be an appropriate topic for a modern encyclopedia - even today. To the best of my knowledge, however, this does not currently exist. Unless I am wrong on that, then this proposed 2nd law/evolution issue is not an appropriate topic for wikipedia at this time.

I hope this helps. Bmord 05:43, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Second Law question
Hi Ben, I left a couple more comments on the Second Law talk page, which is now archived. It looks like our (initially contradicting) opinions have converged to an agreement on that focused sunlight question. But my argument had to converge more, because it was mostly wrong. :) --Glengarry 19:09, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Polish Labour Party - August 80

The Polish Labour Party - August 80 (Polska Partia Pracy-Sierpień 80, PPP) was a minor left-wing political party in Poland, describing itself as socialist. It was created on 11 November 2001 as the Alternative – Labour Party (Alternatywa – Partia Pracy) and acquired its new name of Polish Labour Party (Polska Partia Pracy) in 2004, before adding the suffix -August 80 (Sierpień 80) on 20 November 2009. The party was affiliated with the Free Trade Union "August 80".

Positions
The party was opposed to privatisation of state assets resulting from the post-communist reforms of the 1990s and supported increased state expenditure. It was opposed to Polish involvement in the European Union and supported increased cooperation with Poland's eastern neighbours, free education and health care, free (state funded) contraception and abortions, recognition of same-sex civil unions, the withdrawal of Polish troops from Iraq, the elimination of conscription and the introduction of a professional military, and the introduction of a 35-hour working week. It opposed the introduction of a flat tax and the introduction of capital punishment. The PPP also advocated a withdrawal from the concordat between the Polish state and the Catholic Church.
