Better World Club

The Better World Club (BWC) provides services to motorists in the United States and supports organizations seeking to reduce the environmental damage done by automobiles. BWC, which describes itself as "the nation's only environmentally friendly auto club", offers a bicycle membership and caters to hybrid vehicle owners. Nationwide membership was just under 20,000 people as of June 2006. In comparison, the rival American Automobile Association has 53 million members nationwide.

History
Better World Club was founded by longtime friends Mitch Rofsky and Todd Silberman. It began signing up members on June 4, 2002. Rofsky and Silberman grew up as friends in Ohio and each pursued separate careers related to environmental responsibility and travel before coming together to form Better World Club. The idea initially came from environmentalists who reported that AAA used anti-environment lobbying practices. When they approached Mitch Rofsky with the idea, he realized that there was an opportunity to successfully compete with AAA.

Services
Emergency roadside assistance is available to drivers of both automobiles and bicycles. A bicycle membership can be purchased separately or added onto an auto policy for a smaller additional fee. Services are available across all 50 states and DC the USA and Canada.
 * Emergency roadside assistance

Automobile membership includes 4 service calls per year (defined as: towing, battery assistance, lockout assistance, flat tire assistance, fuel delivery or extrication) – if bicycle coverage is included these 4 calls can be split between auto and bike calls. Basic auto membership includes towing up to 5 miles, while the premium membership increases the limit to 100 miles. A bicycle-only membership provides service up to 30 miles annually with a limit of 2 service calls.

Through TravelCool, Better World Club offers discounted travel with eco-friendly travel partners. Partners must emphasize sustainable practices such as recycling and building environmental awareness. Carbon offsets are included in the travel planning fee if a travel consultant is used. Discounts are available at eco-friendly lodgings, as well as at larger more well-known hotel chains. Discounts are also available on hybrid and biodiesel rental cars, available in select cities.
 * Travel products and services

Trip route planning as well as maps covering North America from the city level up through the national level are available free to all members. Maps and travel planners are ordered by phone or email and delivered by mail within 7–14 days.

Better World Insurance, headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, offers auto insurance as well as travel insurance. Carbon offsets are included free with the first year's auto insurance and offered for a nominal fee after that. Better World Insurance also advocates for pay-as-you-drive auto insurance, and offer it to customers in the limited locations where it is available.
 * Insurance products and services

Other member benefits include gas rebate coupons and discounts at other environmentally friendly companies both online and off. Hybrid car and biodiesel car owners receive a discount on membership (with gas-guzzlers that get less than 10 mi/gal being charged an additional surcharge). All members are eligible to receive the monthly newsletter, Kicking Asphalt, which includes news and information about environmental and travel related topics, new member discounts, and occasional calls for member activism. In order to preserve natural resources, this newsletter is distributed by email only.
 * Other benefits

Partners
Better World Club partners include: Adventure Cycling Association, Car Talk, League of American Bicyclists, National Wildlife Federation, Organic Consumers Association, Washington Area Bicycle Association, and Working Assets.

Talk:Mastermind (Jason Wyngarde)

Untitled
I edited the details of the flashback in New Avengers. The previous contributor inaccurately identified the military as the force responsible for hiring mastermind to alter the Sentry's memory. It was in fact a super-villain adversary of the Sentry who called himself the General, as opposed to a literal general of the army. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.36.111.163 (talk) 01:36, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Mastermind's appearance in the recent Sentry storyline of New Avengers was only in a memory from a long time ago. Nowhere in the comic does it say anything about him being alive. In fact Emma Frost still acknowledges his death. So I'm going to edit it back to saying that he is dead.--Stranger Dan 04:09, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Also, the UK Mastermind is a totally different and unrelated character, and should probably not be more than a footnote to this entry. The UK Mastermind could have its own entry. Kevingarcia 04:50, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

My reasoning is as follows: This article is not badly written but needs more sources for the championship claims and the other statements. It also could stant to improve its WP:NPOV to reflect more of the school in general rather than just its championship information. Adam McCormick 01:39, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Yōon

The yō-on (拗音 (ようおん)), also written as yōon, is a feature of the Japanese language in which a mora is formed with an added sound, i.e., palatalized, or (more rarely in the modern language) with an added  sound, i.e. labialized.

Yōon are represented in hiragana using a kana ending in i, such as き (ki) or に (ni), plus a smaller version of one of the three y kana, ya, yu or yo. For example, kyō, "today" (今日), is written きょう [kʲoo], using a small version of the yo kana, よ. Contrast this with kiyō, "skillful" (器用), which is written きよう [kijoo], with a full-sized yo kana. In historical kana orthography, yōon were not distinguished with the smaller kana, and had to be determined by context.

In earlier stages of Japanese, and in certain dialects, yōon can also be formed with the kana wa, wi, we, and wo; for example, くゎ/クヮ kwa,　く ゐ /ク ヰ kwi, く ゑ /ク ヱ kwe,　く を /ク ヲ kwo. Although obsolete in modern Japanese, kwa and kwi can still be found in several of the Ryukyuan languages today (e.g. Okinawan), while kwe is formed with the digraph くぇ. Instead of the kana き, these are formed with the kana for ku, く/ク. Some older transliterations in English follow the earlier pronunciation, e.g. Kwaidan, Kwannon, and such yōon may appear in loanwords e.g. ムジカ・アンティクヮ・ケルン "Musica Antiqua Köln". They were also used to write Hakka in Taiwan under Japanese rule.

Other representations
In Japanese Braille, Yōon is indicated with one of the yōon, yōon+dakuten, or yōon+handakuten prefixes.

Unlike in kana, Braille yōon is prefixed to the -a/-u/-o morae, rather than appending ya, yu or yo to an -i kana, e.g. kyu: きゅ - ki + yu → - yōon + ku. Likewise, the -w- morae are indicated by a prefix of the -a/-i/-e/-o morae, rather than an -u mora, e.g. くぁ / くゎ (kwa) = -w- + ka:.

Talk:Custer's Revenge

On General Retreat being less offensive
"In this game it is the "woman" who has to overcome various obstacles to have hot sex with "Custer"—who this time is the one tied to the post. Instead of arrows, cannon balls are fired at the woman. General Retreat has often been hailed as the better of the two versions, featuring slightly less questionable material."

Slightly less questionable material? What material? I doubt that the cannon balls vs. arrows aren't "less questionable", so does this imply that it's less questionable if a woman have sex/rape someone? The text should be more clear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ran4 (talk • contribs) 19:38, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the text you bring to discussion is very clear. The author considers a woman raping a man is less questionble than a man raping a woman, which is a double standard. Aside from documentation of double standarts, I don't think Wikipedia should spread that as if it was neutral. 70.30.185.78 (talk) 22:56, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

 * ...soiled the image of the Atari 2600.

I removed that part because it's POV and anyway, I can't see why it would be true, since the game was not made by Atari, but by an independent publisher. bogdan 00:28, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

 * It didn't matter that the game was not made by Atari in the minds of many people. When looking for people to hold responsible, people didn't really distinguish between Atari and Mystique, even though Atari was not really at fault for the game.

Racist
This video game isn't just "pornographic" -- it's racist and depicts rape as a tool of war.

Also, the word "squaw" should be lowercased, and should really be changed to "woman".

What are you talking about?? Squaw is not even tied up, so how is this game depicting rape?

Replaced "rape" with "(sexual) intercourse"
In the description of the game, I replaced the word "rape" with "intercourse" or "sexual intercourse". There was no indication in the game or manual that it was supposed to be rape, that was an interpretation by critics, as stated clearly in the article:

"The game prompted criticism from women's rights groups who stated that the simulation of having sex with a tied-up woman was a simulation of rape."

This sentence does not make sense if the description already talks about rape. — Graf Bobby 00:19, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Referring to the actions in the game as "sexual intercourse" rather than "rape" is an awesome example of WP:WEASEL. Nearly every third party commentator viewed the game as depicting rape.  I've added a couple of citations to that effect.  Nandesuka 15:50, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Sexual intercourse would be correct. Large masses does not equal NPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ran4 (talk • contribs) 19:36, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

was this game licensed by Atari?
If so, it would make an interesting contrast to AO games that are refused licensing. Tehw1k1 17:52, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Atari didn't license games. This was something introduced later on by Nintendo to control content on their consoles (and to make money). I imagine the wave of adult games for the 2600 helped them come to that decision, though. -- MisterHand 18:08, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * That's what I suspected. I guess that means third parties just figured out how to manufacture Atari carts all on their own? Tehw1k1 07:45, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Of course it should be referred to as rape.
Are you trying to imply that a reasonable person would conclude that the sexual intercourse depicted in that scene was consensual ? You need to rethink your position. The word rape is much more precise than the word intercourse. Albion moonlight 08:30, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It can be quite reasonable to call it "sexual intercourse" without anyone concluding that it's consensual. There are two reasons for this:  first of all, one might imagine that there are people who don't know whether it's consensual or who think there's a possibility that it's consensual.  Secondly, rape is also a subset of the acts of sexual intercourse.  Actually, sexual intercourse may be more specific in terms of the physical act described.
 * If no Wikipedian is willing to state that they think it might be consensual or that they think there are people who think it might be consensual; and if no one can find a reliable source stating anything along those lines;  then perhaps there is no reason to oppose calling it "rape", except the reason Graf Bobby gives, which is that the later sentence doesn't make sense in that context.  Maybe that sentence could be changed.
 * One idea would be to say something like "sexual intercourse, an act described by commentators as rape" and give the footnotes there.
 * Another idea might be to re-order the sentences. If the last sentence of the 1st paragraph is moved to the end of the 2nd paragraph, then maybe the statement about women's rights groups would make more sense even if the other sentence says "rape".
 * If most commentators call it rape, then something needs to be changed because now it gives the impression that it's only women's rights groups who say that.
 * I don't understand Nandesuka's reference to WP:WEASEL. Do you mean that we can't verify with reliable sources that it's sexual intercourse? --Coppertwig 17:25, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it's an improvement that Nadesuka has changed it to "an apparent rape". This seems more accurate than either "rape" or "sexual intercourse". --Coppertwig 17:29, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I too can live with the phrase an apparent rape. The description sound like rape and nothing else but rape. A woman who is tied up during a raid of her village, in all likelihood did not willfully consent to the sex. I am not arguing the case from a feminist point of view. I do not believe the game should be censored. I just cannot believe all of the denial there is around the milieu of rape. The intention of the games creators seem almost irrelevant in that context. Albion moonlight 01:20, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't know... she looks pretty happy on the box art. 70.58.236.157 (talk) 04:04, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

A Brief Critique and the external link it came from
By all accounts, Custer's Revenge is a horrible game that would have largely been forgotten by now had it not been for the controversy it created. Mystique, it's publisher, had forged a place for itself as developers of erotic software. The little fold out that comes with the game reads, "Until Mystique, video games have been considered by many to be "child's play"... we at Mystique feel that it's time for video games and their adult players to come out of the closet, away from the kids and deal with ADULT fantasies."

Of course, from a design and ethical perspective, what Custer got completely wrong was that it's just not okay to tie a woman to a post and have the in-game avatar rape that character as a "prize." It's probably one of the bigger, "What were you thinking?" moments in video game history.

Mystique also produced other less controversial adult titles, all of which have now been largely forgotten. http://www.igda.org/sex/archives/2005/09/link_of_the_day_33.html.Albion moonlight 09:51, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

comment
My opinion on the game is unsatisfying, The graphics and content toward the game are pathetic. Theres nothing good in this game at all. The only good thing is that proper warnings have been placed on the box art to prevent users from approaching the game. Ironically, its prematurly released and rejeculated(lol) due to the fact it was probably released too early and rejected for its overly below graphic content and such. Davidzx 01:36, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

 * The graphics are terrible but the gameplay is wicked, lol! Anyhow, let's consitrate on fixing this article. mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 10:26, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Deletions
The last deletion, of a claim that the game was sold from behind the counter or removed from stores, strikes me as bizarre for three reasons. It was tagged already for a cite, which was appropriate. It's not hard to believe that it would be sold from behind the counter or pulled from stores, since adult material often is. Finally, calling thirty words or so "long" makes me wonder if some people might be happier watching Teletubbies than trying to write an encyclopedia. Anyhow, I'll try to add some more sources to the article, which is what the person who deleted the material should have done rather than delete the material.

I added "military" as a genre
Because General Custer was a military man.--ILoveSky (talk) 01:36, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

ILoveSky I agree because Indians (well presumably Indians) are trying to shoot arrows at General Custer. However i am also not so sure as Military is not the main objective of the game but an obstacle. (unless rapping the Indian Women is some kind of Gorilla Warfare). (Dan of knowledge (talk) 21:34, 24 January 2013 (UTC))

Most expensive game at the time?
According to the article, Custer's Revenge retailed at $49.95. That would equal to about $122 in today's dollars. For its time, I don't know any game more expensive than it. If there is, please name one. 98.119.155.81 (talk) 04:19, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

"Outlawed"?
"Activists tried pressuring legislators to outlaw the game, which Oklahoma City, Oklahoma did.[8]" I don't have access to the source given, but this has got to be an exaggeration. I don't see how an individual city could "outlaw" anything. They might have banned local stores from selling the game, I suppose, but that's hardly the same thing as "outlawing" it. Jah77 (talk) 14:14, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Rape?
Should the objective of this game really be described as rape? I agree that many people looked at it that way and that criticism should be included. But it doesn't seem like the creators intended it as a simulation of rape. From the game manual, "So press it over and over again as rapidly as you can. Watch how the maiden smiles and kicks up her heels and Custer 'flips his lid'." It seems like the objective of the game should just be described as having sex with the maiden, not raping her. I'm open to evidence that the devs intended a more malicious objective but I don't the sourcing on the page adequate prove that. ― TaltosKieronTalk 21:47, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Sarah McLeod (musician)

Sarah Yvette McLeod (born 1 February 1973) is an Australian singer-songwriter known both for her solo work and as the singer/guitarist of rock band The Superjesus.

McLeod's first solo release, Beauty Was a Tiger was released in September 2005 and peaked in the top 40 on the ARIA Albums Chart. The album's first single, "Private School Kid"—a duet with The Living End's Chris Cheney—also reached the top 40, on the related ARIA Singles Chart in July 2005.

Early life and family
Sarah Yvette McLeod, was born on 1 February 1973, to parents Don and Rosemary. She grew up in Adelaide with her older sister Leah McLeod (born 1971), a former television presenter.

McLeod attended St Peter's Collegiate Girls' School and began singing in her late teens. In 1990, she commenced a university course, undertaking a Bachelor of Arts at Flinders University in Adelaide. 3 months into the course she went on a holiday with friends to Bali, where she was invited to join a Balinese band. She enjoyed playing on stage and performed with the band every night during her visit. McLeod later remembered "I could already play a bit of guitar by then but did little more than sing and play to my buddies at home." Upon her return to Adelaide, armed with a new passion for performing, she quit university and formed her first group, Fallen Down Monster. She displayed her vocal and guitar skills, and fun-loving, energetic stage presence. Fallen Down Monster performed indie band covers, and McLeod wrote original tracks which were not recorded.

The Superjesus
Late in 1994 she joined Chris Tennent to form an indie guitar rock band, Hell's Kitchen, which later became The Superjesus. Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane described McLeod's "captivating voice and melodic rhythm guitar." In May 1996 the group issued their debut four-track extended play, Eight Step Rail, with all the tracks co-written by McLeod with her bandmates. Jonathan Lewis of AllMusic noticed McLeod's singing: "Sounding like a cross between Liz Phair and Catatonia's Cerys Matthews, McLeod's voice was a major drawcard; strong, confident and rarely lapsing into the girlishness that characterized some of The Superjesus' contemporaries."

At the ARIA Music Awards of 1997 the Superjesus won Best New Talent and Breakthrough Artist – Single for Eight Step Rail. Then released their first full-length album, Sumo (June 1998). The group released two more albums, Jet Age (October 2000) and Rock Music (May 2003), before they split in 2004.

First album: Beauty Was a Tiger
In 2005, McLeod launched her solo career, she signed with Festival Mushroom Records, releasing her first single, "Let's Get Together", in May. Her debut solo album, Beauty Was a Tiger, followed in September that year; it was co-produced by McLeod with Matt Lovell. All the tracks on the album were written either by McLeod or with Chris Peters, bass player from the Detroit band, Electric Six. It peaked at No. 31 on the ARIA Albums Chart. For touring her backing band, the Black Diamond Express, consisted of Patch Brown (guitar), Grant Fitzpatrick (bass guitar), Stu Hunter (keyboards) and Mick Skelton (drums).

Following the release of another single, "Private School Kid" (July 2005) – a duet with Chris Cheney from The Living End – McLeod parted ways with Mushroom Festival Records. It peaked at No. 33 on the ARIA Singles Chart. During 2006 she released two more singles, "All But Gone" as an independent EP, and "He Doesn't Love You"; both included remixes.

Live & Acoustic
During 2006 McLeod performed acoustic gigs with drummer Mick Skelton, which led to an Australian tour, playing tracks from Beauty Was a Tiger, some Superjesus material and several cover versions. This resulted in the release of the live album Live & Acoustic.

Madness
In October 2006, the Hook n Sling remix of "He Doesn't Love You" reached No. 1 on the ARIA Club Charts. It was also released in the United Kingdom and the United States. She spent much of 2007 and 2008 first travelling in the US and then living in London, where she recorded songs for various projects. In November 2009 she released a single, "Tell Your Story Walking".

In 2009, McLeod posted further material including "Love to Last". In August 2010 she released a single, "Double R", with remixes by John Roman, Autoerotique and Grandtheft. It was followed by a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark". Her third album, Madness, appeared in November that year, which included both "Double R" and "Dancing in the Dark".

Screaming Bikini
McLeod, using the pseudonym Sammie Scream, started a new group, Screaming Bikini, featuring KJ from The Art, which issued a single, "Easy", followed by their debut self-titled album in May 2011. "Dirty Beats/ Disco Bass" and "Dancing Alone" were also released as singles.

The Superjesus reformation and 96% Love Song Book
From November 2012, the Superjesus reunited, initially for a concert in Adelaide in the following February; it was followed by an Australian tour in May and June 2013. In 2013 McLeod released an EP, 96% Love Song Book, under her own name. It was influenced by her love of 1950s and 1960s music and included an a cappella, barbershop quartet track, "The Greatest Pretender". In 2014 McLeod and Jeff Martin (of the Tea Party) released a duet single, "Man the Life Boats"; they toured Australia to promote it. This collaboration was followed by a Tea Party / The Superjesus national tour in 2014.

In 2015, The Superjesus teamed up with Baby Animals for a co-headlining tour, She Who Rocks, during May to June.

The Superjesus issued their first single in 12 years, "The Setting Sun", in June 2015. They followed this with the Love and Violence EP, released in 2016.

2017 onwards
McLeod's 2017 album, Rocky's Diner showed a departure from the familiar rock persona by exhibiting her song writing versatility.

In 2018, McLeod launched her own lifestyle clothing line, Bad Valentine, describing the brand as being, “dedicated to the celebration of self confidence, empowerment and freedom of speech.”

In September 2018, McLeod joined Scott Darlow, Adam Brand, Jack Jones and Todd Hunter to re-record Dragon's "Rain" with all net proceeds from the sale to go towards to the Buy-a-bale program in support of Australian farmers suffering from the Australian drought.

The chronology of Jesus is heavily contested and impossible to ascertain exactly, with many contesting what days, months, and years major events in Jesus' life occurred in, even assuming that they occurred at all (see historicity of Jesus). Due to a miscalculation made by Dionysius Exiguus in 525, it was long held that Jesus was born in the year 1 BC, making the following year, 1|AD 1, the first throughout which he was alive—hence the anno domini dating system.

In brief, the primary events in Jesus' life are believed to have occurred around these times:

 * c. 6 BC – Suggested birth (earliest)
 * c. 4 BC – Herod's death
 * c. 6|AD 6 – Suggested birth (latest); Quirinius census
 * c. AD 26/27 – Pontius Pilate appointed governor of Judea
 * c. AD 27 – Suggested death (earliest)
 * c. AD 36 – Suggested death (latest)
 * c. AD 36/37 – Pilate removed from office

Year of birth
Relying on the Gospels for determining Jesus' year of birth is problematic, because they offer two accounts that chronologists find incompatible. The Gospel of Matthew states that Jesus was born while Herod the Great was still alive, and that Herod ordered the slaughter of infants that were two years old and younger (Matt. 2:16). However, the Jewish historian Josephus reports a lunar eclipse shortly before the death of Herod. Astronomers have pinpointed that eclipse to the year 4 BC, which would imply that Herod died in that year as well (contra Dionysius Exiguus). Thus, many chronologists conclude that the year 6 BC is the most likely year of Jesus' birth. Consequently, Jesus would have been about four to six years old in the year 1|AD 1.

On the other hand, Luke's account places Jesus' birth during a census conducted under the governorship of Quirinius, who, according to Josephus, conducted the census in 6|AD 6. In order to reconcile the two Gospel accounts, some have suggested that Josephus was mistaken, that Quirinius had a separate period of rule under Herod, or that Josephus reported the date of the completion of the census rather than of the entire duration of it. In any case, the actual date of his birth remains historically unverifiable.

In recent years, East Asian historians have attempted to match the birth of Jesus with special events in their history. They found that, according to the oldest record of the Comet Halley during the Han Dynasty, "The comet heads east with its tail pointing west at night, and was appearing in the sky for more than 70 days" in 6 BC. This has been suggested as an independent record of the "Star" described in Matthew 2. If accepted, this suggestion would place the birth date of Jesus in summer rather than winter. Modern astronomers calculate the closest date for the perihelion of Halley's comet to have been October of 12 BC, so if the mentioning of a Star are accurate and refers to a comet at all, it is likely based on the sighting of a different comet.

In the 6th century, Dionysius Exiguus proposed making the birth date of Jesus the basis for the calendar. However, he miscalculated the death of Herod by several years. Years reckoned by Dionysius' system are labeled "BC" and "AD", which stand for Before Christ and Anno Domini (meaning "in the year of the Lord" in Latin).

Day of birth
Determining the exact day of Jesus' birth is even more problematic than the year. Some say that the birth could not have happened in the deep winter, because the Bible says that shepherds spent the night outdoors with their flocks when Jesus was born (Luke 2:8), though others dispute this as insufficient evidence of the season.

Originally, Christmas' date was set to correspond with the Roman festival of the birth of the Sun God Mithras, which coincided with the "return of the sun" after the shortest day of the year. As early as A.D. 354, Jesus' birth was celebrated on December 25 in Rome. Other cities had other traditional dates. The history of Christmas is closely associated with that of the Epiphany. If the currently prevailing opinion about the compilation of the gospels is accepted, the earliest body of gospel tradition, represented by Mark no less than by the primitive non-Marcan document (Q document) embodied in the first and third gospels, begins, not with the birth and childhood of Jesus, but with His baptism; and this order of accretion of gospel matter is faithfully reflected in the time order of the invention-of feasts. The church in general adopted Christmas much later than Epiphany, and before the 5th century there was no consensus as to when it should come in the calendar, whether on January 6, or March 25, or December 25.

The earliest identification of the 25th of December with the birthday of Jesus is in a passage, otherwise unknown and probably spurious, of Theophilus of Antioch (171-183), preserved in Latin by the Magdeburg centuriators, to the effect that the Gauls contended that as they celebrated the birth of the Lord on the December 25, whatever day of the week it might be, so they ought to celebrate Easter on the 25th of March when the resurrection occurred.

The next mention of December 25 is in Hippolytus' (c. 202) commentary on Daniel. Jesus, he says, was born at Bethlehem on December 25, a Wednesday, in the forty-second year of Augustus. This passage also is almost certainly interpolated. In any case he mentions no feast, nor was such a feast congruous with the orthodox ideas of that age. As late as 245 Origen, in his eighth homily on Leviticus, repudiates as sinful the very idea of keeping the birthday of Jesus "as if he were a king Pharaoh." The first certain mention of December 25 is in a Latin chronographer of A.D. 354, first published in complete form by Mommsen. It runs thus in English: "Year I after Christ, in the consulate of Augustus Caesar and Paulus, the Lord Jesus Christ was born on the 25th of December, a Friday and 15th day of the new moon." Here again no feastal celebration of the day is attested.

There were, however, many speculations in the 2nd century about the date of Jesus' birth. Clement of Alexandria, towards its close, mentions several such, and condemns them as superstitions. Some chronologists, he says, alleged the birth to have occurred in the twenty-eighth year of Augustus, on the 25th of Pachon, the Egyptian month (May 20). These were probably the Basilidian gnostics. Others set it on the 24th or 25th of Pharmuthi (19th or 20th of April). Clement himself sets it on November 17, 3 B.C. The author of a Latin tract, called the De Pascha computus, written in Africa in 243, sets it by private revelation, ab ipso deo inspirali, on March 28. He argues that the world was created perfect, flowers in bloom, and trees in leaf, therefore in spring; also at the equinox, and when the moon just created was full. Now the moon and sun were created on a Wednesday. The 28th of March suits all these considerations. Jesus, therefore, being the Sun of Righteousness, was born on the 28th of March.

The same symbolic reasoning led Polycarp (before 160) to set his birth on Sunday, when the world's creation began, but his baptism on Wednesday, for it was the analogue of the sun's creation. On such grounds certain Latins as early as 354 may have transferred the human birthday from January 6 to December 25, which was then a Mithraic feast and is by the chronographer above referred to, but in another part of his compilation, termed Natalis invicti solis, or birthday of the unconquered Sun. (Under the Julian Calendar, the winter solstice occurs on December 24, so starting with December 25, the days begin to get longer again.) Cyprian invokes Christus Sol verus, Ambrose Sol novus noster, and such rhetoric was widespread. The Syrians and Armenians, who clung to January 6, accused the Romans of sun-worship and idolatry, contending with great probability that the feast of the 25th of December had been invented by disciples of Cerinthus and its readings by Artemon to commemorate the natural birth of Jesus. Ambrose, On Virgins, writing to his sister, implies that as late as the papacy of Liberius 352 - 356, the Birth from the Virgin was feasted together with the Marriage of Cana and the Feeding of the 4000, which were never celebrated on any other day but January 6.

Chrysostom, in a sermon preached at Antioch on December 20, 386 or 388, says that some held the feast of December 25 to have been held in the West, from Thrace as far as Cádiz, from the beginning. It certainly originated in the West, but spread quickly eastwards. In 353 - 361 it was observed at the court of Constantius II. Basil of Caesarea (died 379) adopted it. Honorius, emperor (395 - 423) in the West, informed his mother and brother Arcadius (395 - 408) in Byzantium of how the new feast was kept in Rome, separate from January 6, with its own troparia and sticharia. They adopted it, and recommended it to Chrysostom, who had long been in favour of it. Epiphanius of Crete was won over to it, as were also the other three patriarchs, Theophilus of Alexandria, John II of Jerusalem, Flavian I of Antioch. This was under Pope Anastasius I, 398 - 400.

John or Wahan of Nice, in a letter printed by Combefis in his Historia monoizeii tarurn, affords the above details. The new feast was communicated by Proclus, patriarch of Constantinople (434 - 446), to Sahak, Catholicos of Armenia, about 440. The letter was betrayed to the Persian king, who accused Sahak of Greek intrigues, and deposed him. However, the Armenians, at least those within the Byzantine pale, adopted it for about thirty years, but finally abandoned it together with the decrees of Chalcedon early in the 8th century. Many writers of the period 375 - 450, e.g. Epiphanius, Cassian, Asterius, Basil, Chrysostom and Jerome, contrast the new feast with that of the Baptism as that of the birth after the flesh, from which we infer that the latter was generally regarded as a birth accoding to the Spirit. Instructive as showing that the new feast travelled from West eastwards is the fact (noticed by Usener) that in 387 the new feast was reckoned according to the Julian calendar by writers of the province of Asia, who in referring to other feasts use the reckoning of their local calendars. As early as 400 in Rome an imperial rescript includes Christmas among the three feasts (the others are Easter and Epiphany) on which theatres must be closed.

Year of death
The understanding of the Gospels is difficult to reconcile with the tradition that holds the Last Supper took place on the first night of Passover, which is defined in the Torah as occurring on the 14th of Nisan. Furthermore, at that time, the date of Passover was set by the court in Jerusalem based upon testimony of witnesses. It was not until AD 500 that the calendar was changed to base the holiday's date on calculation. Therefore, it is not possible to state on which day of the week the 14 of Nisan occurred for any year before 500 without historical documents that attest to a particular day of the week.

Assuming the validity of the chronology of John, the most important information attested to in all the Gospels is that Jesus' death occurred under the administration of Pontius Pilate. Pontius Pilate held his position from 26–36, and the only years in which Nisan 14 fell on a Friday are 27, 33 and 36, and possibly in 30, depending on when the new moon would have been visible in Jerusalem. Different scholars have defended all of these dates.

The most commonly cited dates are April 7, 30 and April 3, 33. In the Gospel of Luke, it is stated that Jesus was about 30 years old when he started his public ministry, which would seem to support one of these dates. However, if Jesus' birth was in 6 BC, then this points to the beginning of the public ministry some time around AD 26.

Another fact to be considered is Luke's statement that John the Baptist's ministry began in the fifteenth year of the reign of emperor Tiberius. Tiberius' reign began on Augustus' death on August 19, 14 AD, placing John's appearance in 29 by official Roman reckoning (counting 14 as an accession year and 15 as the first full year), too late for the beginning of Jesus's ministry as calculated above. On the other hand, Tertullian writes in his Adversus Marcionem of a Roman tradition that placed the crucifixion in the twelfth year of Tiberus' rule.

Evidence in the Gospel of John points to three separate Passovers during Jesus' ministry, which would tip the scales toward 33. This is strengthened by details of the reign of Sejanus in Rome. Sejanus had ordered the suppression of the Jews throughout the empire, and after his death in 32, Tiberius had repealed those laws. This would fit with the Gospel accounts that seem to indicate that Pilate did not want to crucify Jesus, but was forced into it by the Jewish leaders.

Nonetheless, proponents of the year 30 point out that Tiberius was already co-regent emperor several years before the death of Augustus, making it possible that the beginning of his reign would be counted from 11 or 12, which would put the beginning of John's ministry in about AD 26. This is consistent with the "thirty years old" statement in the Gospel of Luke as well.

Book of Daniel prophecy
One other source which has been used in attempts to find the date is the prophecies of the Book of Daniel. In the Seventy Weeks Prophecy, chapter 9, verse 25, Daniel states, according to the most likely interpretation, that from the decree to rebuild the city of Jerusalem until the city is fully rebuilt will be forty-nine years, and from that point until the coming of the Messiah there would be 434 years. Some time later, the Messiah would then be executed.

According to the Old Testament, there were three separate decrees issued by the Persian kings. Based on the reckoning of Ptolemy, the first decree, described at the end of 2 Chronicles and also at the beginning of the Book of Ezra, was issued by Cyrus around 537 BC. Two other dates have been recorded in Biblical writings: the one issued to Ezra in the seventh year of Artaxerxes, and the one issued to Nehemiah in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes. Which Artaxerxes was being referred to is unknown, as there were three separate kings named "Artaxerxes". Nehemiah's decree is generally agreed to have been written sometime between 446 and 444 BC, depending on the method used to calculate the dates, and Ezra's decree may have been made either during the reign of Artaxerxes I (459-457 BC) or that of Artaxerxes II (398-397 BC).

The event designating Christ's "coming" has also been disputed. The birth, baptism, Transfiguration, and entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday have all been suggested. The birth year of Jesus is generally now rarely held to be accurate, since it is too early for the chronology set by the prophecy to work.

Using Nehemiah's decree, counting 483 solar years would result in the range AD 37–39, probably too late for any event in Jesus' life. If Ezra's decree is dated from the reign of the first Artaxerxes, Jesus' coming would be in the range AD 25–27. If, as it is usually held by proponents, this is when the Baptism occurred, the result would be a date of AD 30 for the Crucifixion.

On the other hand, Revelation and Daniel both imply that the Great Tribulation would last three and a half years, and elsewhere in these books it is stated that the exact length would be 1,260 days. This would imply a year of 360 days. Ezra's decree gives a date of AD 18–20 for the first Artaxerxes and AD 79–80 for the second range in the reign of Artaxerxes II. Both of these dates are way outside of Pontius Pilate's procuratorship. Instead, counting from Nehemiah's decree produces the range AD 31–33. If either the Transfiguration (AD 31 or 32) or Triumphant Entry (AD 33) is used as the event signalling Jesus' coming, AD 33 would be the date implied for the crucifixion. Hence, prophecy leaves no conclusive information unless an event can be agreed to as Christ's coming or a correct decree date can be determine.

Day of death

Calculation of Jesus' date of death is complicated by apparent inconsistencies in the reports in the Synoptic Gospels as compared to the Gospel of John. In the Synoptic Gospels, the Last Supper is clearly a Passover meal, and so would have taken place on a Thursday, the 15th of the Jewish month of Nisan (the Jewish calendar counts the day as beginning with the evening), with the crucifixion on the next day, Friday, still the 15th of Nisan.

According to John, however, the Passover meal was to be eaten on the last evening before Jesus was crucified, so that the Last Supper was eaten on the evening of 14th of Nisan and the crucifixion was on the 14th, at the same time that the lambs for the Passover were being slaughtered in the Temple of Jerusalem, so that the Jews could celebrate the Passover that evening. Various attempts have been made to harmonize the two reports. Perhaps the most likely theory is that Jesus, knowing he was to be dead at the appointed time for the Passover meal, chose to hold the Passover meal with his disciples a day early, thus holding to the account of John. Some scholars have recently suggested rejecting Thursday as the day of the Last Supper and support a non-Passover Last Supper on Tuesday or Wednesday, thus providing more time for the events that occurred between the Last Supper and the Crucifixion. Yet others say that the Last Supper was indeed on the Passover, but nonetheless on the evening of the 13th/14th, as according to certain historical writings some Jews celebrated Passover starting on the fourteenth for eight days.

KYGO-FM

KYGO-FM (98.5 MHz) is a commercial radio station in Denver, Colorado, United States. The Bonneville International country music station has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100,000 watts. Its studios are located in Greenwood Village, and the transmitter is on Mestaa’ehehe Mountain near Morrison.

KYGO-FM is Colorado's secondary (LP-2) Emergency Alert System station. AM 850 KOA is the primary (LP-1) station.

The radio station broadcasts in the HD Radio format. The HD2 subchannel broadcasts classic country music as "KYGO Legendary Country." The HD3 subchannel simulcasts the Contemporary Christian format heard on KTLF in Colorado Springs.

KFML-FM and KIMN-FM
The station signed on the air on December 1, 1953 as KFML-FM. It was owned by Everett A. Bancker, Jr. and was the FM counterpart to KFML (1390 AM, now KGNU). Because the AM station was a daytimer, listeners could continue to hear its programming after sunset on KFML-FM.

Following the sale of the station to Jefferson-Pilot Broadcasting in 1974, the station took the KIMN-FM call sign. (The callsign KIMN currently resides at 100.3 FM in Denver, though that station is owned by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment.)

At first, KIMN-FM aired a softer album rock format while KIMN (950 AM, now KKSE) aired a Top 40 format. KIMN-FM later started playing Top 40 music, similar to its AM sister station. In the 1970s, there were a couple of country & western AM stations in Denver, though the music was not heard on FM, even though country was making inroads on FM stations in other cities.

Switch to KYGO Country
On July 7, 1980, 98.5 switched its call letters to KYGO; later that year, the station changed formats from contemporary hits to country music. Bob Call, previously with country-formatted WSOC-FM in Charlotte, North Carolina, supervised the change. When he started at WSOC-FM, he said he knew little about country music, but learned fast. In 2006, as part of Lincoln Financial Media's acquisition of Jefferson-Pilot (including the J-P media properties), KYGO became a Lincoln Financial Media station.

On April 26, 1988, the station slightly changed its call letters to KYGO-FM. At the same time, AM 950 switched its call sign to KYGO, and began airing a classic country format, to be a companion to FM 98.5's more contemporary country direction. In 2007, KYGO-FM was named "Country Music Station of the Year" in a top 25 market by Radio & Records magazine. Other nominees included WUSN Chicago, WYCD Detroit, KEEY-FM Minneapolis, WXTU Philadelphia, and KSON-FM San Diego.

Ownership change
On December 8, 2014, Entercom announced it would purchase Lincoln Financial Group's entire 15-station lineup (including KYGO) in a $106.5 million deal. It operated the outlets under a local marketing agreement (LMA). On December 22, 2014, Entercom confirmed it would retain KYGO and its country format. The FCC approved the deal on June 26, 2015.

However, on July 14, 2015, the Department of Justice ruled that Entercom was over ownership and total market revenue limits in the Denver market; as a result, Entercom decided to spin off KYGO, KOSI, KKFN and KEPN to Bonneville International in exchange for Bonneville's Los Angeles station KSWD (now KKLQ). Both Bonneville and Entercom began operating their new clusters via Time Brokerage Agreements on July 17, 2015. The transaction was consummated on November 24, 2015.

Taylor Swift incident
KYGO hired David Mueller as a DJ in January 2013. Mueller co-hosted the Ryno and Jackson morning show. On June 2, 2013, Mueller attended a meet-and-greet event before a Taylor Swift concert at the Pepsi Center. While having her photograph taken with Mueller, Swift alleged that he reached under her skirt and groped her. Though Mueller denied touching Swift inappropriately, KYGO-FM General Manager Robert Call fired him on June 4. Mueller sued Swift in September 2015 for loss of income, alleging that her allegation had led to his wrongful termination. Swift sued Mueller the next month. A civil trial began August 7, 2017. A jury found Mueller liable for assault and battery and awarded Swift one dollar, the amount she had sought.

Slickrock Trail

The Slickrock Trail, is a popular mountain biking destination in Grand County, Utah, United States, a few miles northeast of the city of Moab.

This 10.5 mi trail  takes riders over a landscape of petrified sand dunes and the eroded remnants of ancient sea beds. Mountain bikers rate the Slickrock Trail as one of the more difficult rides in the Moab area, both technically and cardiovascularly.

Description

Part of the Sand Flats Recreation Area (which is managed through a partnership between Grand County and the Bureau of Land Management), the Slickrock Trail was originally laid out in 1969 by Richard R. Wilson for use by Honda Trail 90s (before the mountain bike was invented), and the area is still open to such recreation today. 4X4 and off-road enthusiasts will find a challenge on the nearby Hell's Revenge 4X4 Trail, which intersects the Slickrock Trail in several places.

The so-called "slickrock" sandstone, which forms the majority of the trail's surface has a surface much like sandpaper, making it really grippable by the rubber tires of a mountain bike or off-road motorcycle. The texture is notorious for inflicting severe abrasion injuries.

The name "slickrock" was used by early settlers of the area to describe the sandstone because of the low traction between horses' metal shoes and the rock's sloping surfaces. The same is true today for cyclists who use shoes with metal cleats while riding the Slickrock Trail. Slickrock also becomes slick when wet.

In geological terms, the Slickrock Trail is not part of the Entrada Sandstone formation, which includes the Slick Rock Member. Rather, most of the outcrop that forms the trail is Navajo Sandstone, and the term "slickrock" has come to mean any expanse of sandstone with a surface level enough for walking or riding.

A small fee is required to enter the Sand Flats Recreation Area. Pit-toilets are available at the trailhead, but there is no drinking water available within the area.

Permitted trail activities include mountain biking, hiking, and motorcycling. All four-wheeled vehicles are prohibited on all of the Slickrock Trail, except those sections which intersect with the Hell's Revenge 4X4 Trail (which occurs about six times).

Course
The Slickrock Trail consists of three main sections: An out-and-back lead-in (akin to the stick of a lollipop or stem of a cherry), the main 6.8 mi loop (akin to the fruit of a cherry or the candy part of a lollipop), and an optional 2.3 mi practice trail (also called the practice loop, although it is not literally a loop) that begins and ends at separate points on the lead-in.

The practice loop is about as hard as the rest of the trail, but it is shorter and close to the trailhead, serving for new riders as a sample of the rest of the trail or as an alternative return and or departure route.

The lead-in, main loop, and practice trail are marked out by white, dashed lines on the rock to prevent riders from straying from the trail, becoming lost, or disturbing the fragile cryptobiotic soil near which the trail passes. Trail maintainers also use yellow markings near blind drop-offs, narrow ledges, and other features to indicate to riders where to be particularly careful.

R v Feeney

R v Feeney, [1997] 2 S.C.R. 13 is a leading decision of the Supreme Court of Canada on the right, under section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms against unreasonable search and seizure. The Court held that the police are not permitted to enter into someone's house without a search warrant.

Background
On the morning of June 8, 1991, 85-year-old Frank Boyle was found dead in his Likely, British Columbia home from several severe blows to the head with a crowbar. At the scene, the police found a Sportsman brand cigarette, and later found Mr. Boyle's truck abandoned in a ditch. On a tip from local residents, the police located the driver of the truck, Michael Feeney, sleeping in a trailer behind the residence of a friend of his.

The police knocked on the trailer door, and shouted "police", but there was no reply. Guns drawn, the police entered. They found Feeney in bed and shook his leg to get his attention. The police asked him to get up and go outside where the light was better. Upon getting Mr. Feeney outside, the police noticed his clothes were covered in blood. They read him his rights, he acknowledged he understood them, and they arrested him.

Upon questioning him, Mr. Feeney said that the blood was from getting hit by a baseball the day before. The police further noted the same brand of cigarettes in the trailer as was found in Mr. Boyle's house. He was taken to an RCMP detachment, finger printed, made to use a breathalyzer, and for the first day or so was unsuccessful in contacting a lawyer. During this time, he was questioned further, admitting he had hit and robbed Boyle. Once a search warrant was obtained, the police found Boyle's stolen property in the trailer. It was only after all of this that he finally met with a lawyer.

At trial in the Supreme Court of British Columbia he was convicted of second degree murder.

Reasons of the court
The majority was written by Sopinka J, La Forest, Cory, Iacobucci and Major JJ concurring.

Section 8 of the Charter
Sopinka first considered the leading case of R. v. Landry [1986] on warrantless arrests in a dwelling, which held that a police officer could only arrest if there are "reasonable and probable grounds" to believe that the person is on the premises, the proper announcement is made before entering, and that the officer reasonably believes that the person has committed or will commit an indictable offence. "Reasonable and probable grounds" must be found on subjective and objective grounds (R. v. Storrey [1990]), however, Sopinka held that there were no such grounds in this situation. The officer had admitted that he didn't think he had proper ground to enter at the time. He then went one step further and held that R. v. Landry is bad law in post-Charter law and that any entry into dwellings must be done with a warrant. http://csc.lexum.umontreal.ca/en/1986/1986scr1-145/1986scr1-145.pdf

Section 24(2) of the Charter
Exclusionary rules of evidence based on section 8 violations of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A voir dire is held by the trial judge to review the evidence in question before it is presented to the court or jury. This helps to ensure that any evidence brought before the courts has been legally seized by the police and that it does not bring the administration of justice into disrepute.

Dissent
Two dissents were written, one by L'Heureux-Dubé J., with Gonthier and McLachlin JJ concurring, and another by Lamer CJ.

Cordouan Lighthouse

Cordouan lighthouse is an active lighthouse located 7 km at sea,  near the mouth of the Gironde estuary in France. At a height of 67.5 m, it is the tenth-tallest "traditional lighthouse" in the world.

The Tour de Cordouan, the 'Patriarch of Lighthouses' is by far the oldest lighthouse in France, with construction starting in 1584 and finishing in 1611. Designed by leading Paris architect Louis de Foix, the lighthouse is something of a Renaissance masterpiece, drawing inspiration from Roman mausoleums, and the palaces, cathedrals, and forts of the Renaissance. Three stories were added in the 18th century.

Because of its outstanding Renaissance architecture and its testimony to the development of lighthouses, the Cordouan Lighthouse was listed as a historic monument in 1862, and recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2021.

History
Small beacon towers had existed on the islet since 880, but the first proper structure was implemented by Edward, the Black Prince, as Guienne was then an English province. It was 16 m high, with a platform on top where a wood fire could be kept burning, and occupied by a hermit. Passing ships paid two groats to pass - the first known instance of lighthouse dues. In addition to the tower, a small chapel was built on the islet. By the second half of the 16th century the tower had fallen into disrepair and the hazard to navigation threatened the Bordeaux wine trade. This led to the construction of the current Tour de Cordouan.

Design
Using limestone dressed blocks, De Foix first built a round base 135 ft in diameter and 8 ft high to take the onslaught of the waves. Within it was a 20 sqft cavity for storing water and other supplies. Above it were constructed four storeys of diminishing size. The ground floor consisted of a circular tower 50 ft in diameter, with apartments for four keepers around its inner wall. In the centre was a richly decorated entrance hall of 22 sqft and 20 ft high. The second storey was the King's Apartment, consisting of a drawing room, anteroom and a number of closets. The third storey was a chapel with a domed roof notable for the beauty of its mosaic. Above this was secondary lantern, and above that the Lantern itself. This was 60 m above the sea and visible 5–6 mi away, the original light being provided by burning oak chips in a metal container.

Throughout the building, de Foix took as much trouble with the decor as with the durability of the building, and on every floor was a profusion of gilt, carved work, elegantly arched doorways and statuary.

Extension
The first parabolic lamps were added in 1782, but the lighthouse at the time was in very poor condition. Sailors also criticized the lack of height of the light. Major renovations were needed. They were carried out from 1782 to 1789 by the engineer Joseph Teulère, who suggested raising the 30-metre tower, whilst retaining the ground floor and two floors in the Louis XVI style. The simplicity of the new floors contrasted with the wealth of the lower floors, which retained their Renaissance decoration.

In 1790, after the lighthouse was raised 60 metres above the highest tides, Teulère devised the first turning lighting dish. It consisted of Argand lamps turned by a machine built by a watchmaker in Dieppe. The fuel was a mixture of whale oil, olive oil and rapeseed oil.

The first Fresnel lens rotating system, the invention of Augustin-Jean Fresnel, was installed in Cordouan in 1823. Three concentric lamp wicks, supplied with rapeseed oil by means of a suction and force pump, were placed in the focal plane of the apparatus.

It was restored in 1855 and made a historical monument in 1862, at the same time as Notre-Dame de Paris. The original Fresnel lens was replaced by the present lens in 1854.

The light was converted to petroleum gas in 1907 and to electricity in 1948, when a 6,000 W lamp was used. The lamp was replaced by a 450 W xenon lamp in 1984 but this was not successful, and a halogen lamp was installed three years later. The lighthouse was fully automated in 2006, although lighthouse keepers are still employed. Indeed, unlike in other lighthouses, maintaining continued keeping in Cordouan was deemed necessary to preserve this especially old and historic lighthouse, as well as to show visitors around. The last two State-employed, "traditional" keepers left in 2012 and were replaced by members of SMIDDEST, a local association. Cordouan is therefore the last inhabited lighthouse in France, after the Cap Fréhel lighthouse saw its last keeper depart in August 2019.

Alumni
I've moved the alumni list here for now. First of all, it's unwieldy in length and I don't know why, but people have written job titles, awards etc into the brckets. Some of these people have articles under their actual names, but they're showing up as red links because the formatting. Personally, I think this section is out-of-control with people regularly adding new names which seem to be not particularly notable past students. In addition, most seem to be completely unverifiable. We've also got some former students whose first names we don't know...which begs the question how we know they were students at Geelong College? Either we lose the list completely (my preference because it seems unmaintainable) or it needs to be worked on here to make verifiable and correctly formatted.

Albert Campbell Square

Albert Campbell Square is a public square in Scarborough City Centre in Scarborough, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is named after Albert Campbell, the first mayor of the Borough of Scarborough and former Chairman of the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. Albert Campbell Square is located at 150 Borough Drive, adjacent to the Scarborough Civic Centre south of Scarborough Centre station and Scarborough Town Centre shopping mall.

Features
The Albert Campbell Square was modelled after Nathan Phillips Square (built 1965) in Downtown Toronto and in turn inspired Mel Lastman Square (built 1989) in North York City Centre. Part of the Albert Campbell Square is an outdoor ice rink, which held its status of being Scarborough's only permanent outdoor ice rink until the construction for an outdoor ice rink at McCowan District Park began in 2014.

Events
Albert Campbell Square has hosted a number of events. It has served as the starting point of the annual Scarborough Canada Day Parade, one of two Canada Day parades produced by the City of Toronto government. On 11 July 1980, crowds gathered at Albert Campbell Square to witness the arrival of Canadian athlete Terry Fox, whose scheduled stop was at Scarborough Civic Centre during his Marathon of Hope. On 24 July 2016, Rick Tocchet, right wing player of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Scarborough native, exhibited the Stanley Cup at the square after the team won the 2016 Stanley Cup Finals. Albert Campbell Square also hosted viewing parties during the 2019 NBA Finals, which featured the Toronto Raptors.

The square has been a popular venue for multicultural events, including the Scarborough Afro-Carib Festival (2001–present), Scarborough Community Multicultural Festival (2015–2017), and the Sri Lankan Kothu Fest (2015–present).

Public Art
Albert Campbell Square and the immediate surrounding area is home to a large number of sculptures and other public works of art. Some of the works, such as the Hand of God by Carl Milles date back to the building of the Scarborough Civic Centre in the 1970s. In 1994 Scarborough hosted the International Granite Sculpture Symposium, which added a further 8 works. As of 2017, there are over 10 pieces of public art on display. Albert Campbell Square has also hosted temporary exhibits for Nuit Blanche and public performances of contemporary art.

John Sanger

John Sanger (1816 – 22 August 1889) was an English circus proprietor.

Biography
He was born at Chew Magna, Somerset, in 1816, the son of an old sailor who had turned showman. In 1845 he started with his brother George Sanger a conjuring exhibition at Birmingham. The venture was successful, and the brothers, who had been interested spectators of the equestrian performances at Astley's Amphitheatre, London, then started touring the country with a circus entertainment consisting of a horse and pony and three or four human performers. This enterprise was a success from the beginning, and in due course John and George Sanger became lessees of the Agricultural Hall, London, and there produced a large number of elaborate spectacles.

In 1871 the Sangers leased Astley's Amphitheatre where they gave an equestrian pantomime every winter, touring in the summer with a large circus. Subsequently the partnership was dissolved, each brother producing his own show. John Sanger died while touring, at Ipswich, the business being continued by his son.

John Sanger's granddaughter, Victoria Sanger Freeman became a legendary figure in the circus world in her own right, becoming known as "the Queen of the Elephants." She was the last of the great Sanger circus dynasty which proudly held the title "The Greatest Name in Circus."

Cultural references
Sanger's circus once featured William Kite, an all-around performer whose appearance, as announced on a poster for Pablo Fanque's Circus Royal, was the inspiration for The Beatles song Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!

Joseph Marion Hernández

Joseph Marion Hernández (May 26, 1788 – June 8, 1857) was a slave-owning American planter, politician and military officer. He was the first Florida Territory's at-large congressional district from the Florida Territory and the first Hispanic American to serve in the United States Congress. A member of the Democratic-Republican Party, he served from September 1822 to March 1823.

Biography
José Mariano Hernández was born in St. Augustine, Florida during Florida's second Spanish period. His parents were Minorcans who had originally come to the region as indentured servants in Andrew Turnbull's New Smyrna colony. Prior to the American acquisition of Florida, Hernández owned three plantations south of St. Augustine (in what was then East Florida): San Jose, Mala Compra, and Bella Vista.

He married the widowed Ana María Hill Williams on February 25, 1814, in St. Augustine. Ana María Hill was born on June 6, 1787, in St. Augustine, and was the daughter of the South Carolinian merchant Theophilus Hill and his wife Theresa Thomas; they had immigrated from South Carolina by the 1780s. Hernández and Ana María had at least one child, Dora Hernández. The properties owned by Ana, including a 3,200-acre plantation called "Orange Grove", enabled Hernández to establish himself as a planter of some standing. He had also acquired several profitable land grants during the so-called "Patriot War" in 1812.

After the First Seminole War broke out in the province of West Florida in 1817, Andrew Jackson led a force of 4,800 men into the Floridas in January of the following year, destroying Seminole towns and taking the Spanish fort at St. Marks. The campaign ended in May 1818 with the cession of West Florida to the United States with the signing of the Adams–Onís Treaty on February 22, 1819, following which Hernández pledged his allegiance to the US. The treaty was finally approved by the US Senate on February 22, 1821. Although it is not clear what role Hernández had in the war, he profited from it by receiving more land grants from the Spanish government. The land that he bought or inherited by marriage along with the large holdings he received as service grants from the Spanish crown amounted to 25,670 acres by the time of the annexation to the US.

After the organization of the Florida Territory, he was elected Florida's first Florida Territory's at-large congressional district to the United States House of Representatives, and was approved by President James Monroe on September 30, 1822. He thus became the first Hispanic ever to serve in the U.S. Congress. He served for six months, leaving office on March 3, 1823.

During the 1820s, Hernández became a major planter in the territory, his properties producing some of its biggest cash crops, including sugar cane and cotton, with the forced labor of between 60 and 150 enslaved black persons on his three largest holdings, especially the Mala Compra and the St. Joseph plantations. In spite of his success as a planter, Hernández was forced to sell off large tracts of his land during the mid-1820s to discharge debts and make mortgage payments. In 1835 he used his estates as collateral to borrow money and preserve his solvency.

Hernández was appointed to the Florida territorial legislative council by President Monroe, and the appointment renewed by President John Quincy Adams in 1825. He continued running his plantations, which were burned by the Seminoles in the Second Seminole War. The ruins of his plantation Mala Compra is today a preserved archaeological site. He was appointed Brigadier General over a troop of volunteers from the Mosquito Roarers militia during the war and was subsequently commissioned in the United States Army, serving from 1835 to 1838. Hernández was the commanding officer responsible for the imprisonment of the Seminole leader Osceola upon the orders of General Thomas Jesup, as well as the capture of Seminole chiefs Ee-mat-la (King Philip) and Seminole ally Uchee Billy. He retired with the rank of Brigadier General.

Hernández was an unsuccessful Whig candidate for the United States Senate in 1845. He later moved to Cuba and engaged as a planter in the District of Coliseo, near Matanzas, and died at the family's sugar estate, "Audaz", in the District of Coliseo, in Matanzas Province. He is interred in the Del Junco family vault in Necropolis San Carlos Borromeo, Matanzas.

Hernández–Capron Trail
In 1837, while with the U.S. Army, Hernández was ordered to build a road between St. Augustine, Florida and Fort Capron, located near present-day Fort Pierce, Florida, on the St. Lucie River. He directed the blazing and clearing of the route that, 12 years earlier, Col. James Gadsden had cleared along the Atlantic Coastal Ridge to the St. Lucie River. It passed from Fort Capron through Fort Vinton, Fort Drum, Fort Kissimmee, Fort Meade to Fort Brooke (Tampa).

Mouchette

Mouchette is a 1967 French tragedy film directed by Robert Bresson, starring Nadine Nortier and Jean-Claude Guilbert. It is based on the novel of the same name by Georges Bernanos. Bresson explained his choice of the novel saying, "I found neither psychology or analysis in it. The substance of the book seemed usable. It could be sieved."

It was entered into the 1967 Cannes Film Festival, winning the OCIC Award (International Catholic Organization for Cinema and Audiovisual).

A coming-of-age story, Mouchette is set in a rural French village and follows the daughter of a bullying alcoholic father and ailing mother. Unfolding in the director's famously sparse and minimalist style, Bresson said that its titular character "offers evidence of misery and cruelty. She is found everywhere: wars, concentration camps, tortures, assassinations. "

Mouchette is among Bresson's more acclaimed films. The Criterion Collection DVD release includes a trailer for the film made by Jean-Luc Godard. The Artificial Eye DVD release includes a 29 minute documentary filmed on set about the making of the film.

Plot
Mouchette, whose name means "little fly," lives in an isolated French village with her alcoholic father and bedridden, dying mother, taking care of her infant brother and doing all the housework. She is ostracized at school for her bedraggled clothes and chastised by her teacher for refusing to sing.

Once, in contrast to the misery of her daily life, Mouchette goes to a fair, where a kind woman buys Mouchette a token so she can ride on the bumper cars. She and a young man bump into each other's cars as a mutual flirtation. Before she can speak to the boy after the ride, her father takes Mouchette away.

Walking home from school one day, Mouchette gets lost in the woods when a rainstorm begins. Arsène, an alcoholic epileptic poacher, stumbles upon her and takes her to his hut. He fears he has killed a man with whom he had fought earlier and attempts to use Mouchette as an alibi to clear him of the blame. After she agrees to repeat the story he gives her, Mouchette tries to leave but Arsène blocks her way, chases her down, and rapes her. By early morning, Mouchette has escaped. Returning home and finding her mother's condition worsening, she attempts to comfort her, but she soon dies. On her way to get milk, a shopkeeper offers her a free coffee and croissant. The shopkeeper notices a scratch on Mouchette’s chest and when Mouchette seems to deliberately break the coffee bowl, calls her a "little slut." Elderly women dressed in black are going to church.

Later, when talking to the gamekeeper Mathieu and his wife about the events of the previous night in the woods, she tries to offer the story agreed with Arsène. Reluctantly, she states that she was at Arsène's house through the night because he is her lover. Finally, she is invited into the house of an elderly woman, who gives her a dress to wear at the funeral and a shroud to cover her mother. The woman speaks to her about worshiping the dead and gives Mouchette three nice dresses that will fit. On her way out, Mouchette insults her and damages her carpet. Mouchette then witnesses several hunters shooting and killing rabbits. Another rabbit is wounded and cannot hop. Mouchette then walks up a small hill and takes one of the three dresses to try it on, but a branch catches on and tears a hole through it. There is an establishing shot of a stream that returns at the very end of the film.

The film cuts to Mouchette rolling down a hill with the now dirty and ragged dress wrapped around her. Mouchette quickly gets up at the sound of a tractor and waves to the man driving it. He seems too far away to see her. Oddly, she does not cry out to him to get his attention. She turns back and rolls down again out of frame and stops in-frame at the bank of the stream, near the flowers we saw earlier. The camera lingers on the flowers while she returns to the top of the hill and rolls downhill a third and final time. There is a splash at the end of the second shot. It is revealed that Mouchette has disappeared. Classical music echoes the music at the beginning and continues as the film fades to black.

Cast
Besides his preference for non-professional actors, Bresson liked to cast actors he had never used before. The one major exception is Jean-Claude Guilbert, who had the role of Arnold in Au hasard Balthazar, and plays Arsène in this film.

Reception
In 1967, Mouchette won the OCIC Award (International Catholic Organization for Cinema and Audiovisual) at the Cannes Film Festival, and the Pasinetti Award at the Venice Film Festival.

The "critics consensus" at the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes states: "Remarkable not only as a viewing experience, but as a showcase for Robert Bresson's tremendous skill, Mouchette underpins its grim narrative with devastating grace." In The Spectator, the critic Penelope Houston highlighted the excellence of Nadine Nortier's performance as Mouchette, writing that, as a consequence, "the whole film becomes luminous, transparent, bafflingly effortless", resulting in "a kind of perfection". Noting the lack of sentimentality or sadism in Bresson's portrayal of Mouchette's suffering, Houston writes that "Mouchette is not a child for anyone's pity, except, in both senses, her creator's." She concludes that "Like Au Hasard, Balthazar, Mouchette is a deeply pessimistic film which somehow leaves one in a mood close to exhilaration. It is conceived, if you like, as a religious experience in which the heroine is not a saint, and in which there is no conventional religious reference."

Mouchette is considered by many critics to be among Bresson's better films. The Swedish director Ingmar Bergman reportedly praised and loved the film. Russian film-maker Andrei Tarkovsky listed the film as one of the ten favorite movies of all time. Sight & Sound ' s critics’ poll placed Mouchette in its top 20 in 1972, and in the magazine's 2012 poll of the greatest films of all time Mouchette placed 107th in the directors' poll and 117th in the critics' poll.
