Marcel-Paul Schützenberger

Marcel-Paul "Marco" Schützenberger (24 October 1920 – 29 July 1996) was a French mathematician and Doctor of Medicine. He worked in the fields of formal language, combinatorics, and information theory. In addition to his formal results in mathematics, he was "deeply involved in [a] struggle against the votaries of [neo-]Darwinism", a stance which has resulted in some mixed reactions from his peers and from critics of his stance on evolution. Several notable theorems and objects in mathematics as well as computer science bear his name (for example Schutzenberger group or the Chomsky–Schützenberger hierarchy). Paul Schützenberger was his great-grandfather.

In the late 1940s, he was briefly married to the psychologist Anne Ancelin Schützenberger.

Contributions to medicine and biology
Schützenberger's first doctorate, in medicine, was awarded in 1948 from the Faculté de Médecine de Paris. His doctoral thesis, on the statistical study of biological sex at birth, was distinguished by the Baron Larrey Prize from the French Academy of Medicine.

Biologist Jaques Besson, a co-author with Schützenberger on a biological topic, while noting that Schützenberger is perhaps most remembered for work in pure mathematical fields, credits him for likely being responsible for the introduction of statistical sequential analysis in French hospital practice.

Contributions to mathematics, computer science, and linguistics
Schützenberger's second doctorate was awarded in 1953 through the Paris Institute of Statistics. This work, developed from earlier results is counted amongst the early influential French academic work in information theory. His later impact in both linguistics and combinatorics is reflected by two theorems in formal linguistics (the Chomsky–Schützenberger enumeration theorem and the Chomsky–Schützenberger representation theorem), and one in combinatorics (the Schützenberger theorem). With Alain Lascoux, Schützenberger is credited with the foundation of the notion of the plactic monoid, reflected in the name of the combinatorial structure called by some the Lascoux–Schützenberger tree. Relatedly, they invented Schubert polynomials.

In automata theory, Schützenberger is credited with first defining (what later became known as) weighted automata, the first studied model of automata which compute a quantitative output.

The mathematician Dominique Perrin credited Schützenberger with "deeply [influencing] the theory of semigroups" and "deep results on rational functions and transducers", amongst other contributions to mathematics.

Offices, honors, and recognitions

 * Professorships and other teaching

 * Professor in the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Poitiers (1957–1963)
 * Lecturer in the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard University (1961–1962)
 * Director of Research at the CNRS (1963–1964)
 * Professor at the University of Paris (1964–1970)
 * Professor in the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Paris VII (1970-until his death in 1996)

 * National honors

 * In 1988, after having been a Correspondant since 1979, Schützenberger was made a full Membre of French Academy of Sciences.

 * Posthumous recognitions

After his death, two journals in theoretical mathematics dedicated issues to Schützenberger's memory. He was commemorated in this manner by Theoretical Computer Science in 1998 and again by the International Journal of Algebra and Computation in 1999.

The mathematician David Berlinski provided this dedication in his 2000 book The Advent of The Algorithm: The Idea that Rules the World: À la mémoire de mon ami. . M. P. Schützenberger, 1921-1996.

Trivia

 * The character "Dr. Schütz" in Boris Vian's 1948 novel, Et on tuera tous les affreux, is said to have been inspired by Schützenberger.
 * Together with many of his students, Schützenberger is one of the contributors of the pseudonymous collective M. Lothaire.

Exit (video game)

Exit is a 2005 puzzle video game developed and published by Taito for the PlayStation Portable. It was released in Japan, on December 15, 2005, in North America on February 14, 2006, in Australia on March 30, 2006, and in Europe on March 31, 2006. A version for Xbox Live Arcade was released on October 24, 2007. A version for the Nintendo DS was released in 2008 as Exit DS.

Overview
The basic premise is to lead the main character Mr. ESC, an escapologist, out of hospitals, underground facilities, offices and other buildings within a time limit. Along the way, the player gets hindered by obstacles such as fires, earthquakes, floods, or even meteor showers.

Sometimes the player must help trapped individuals escape as well, and it will take quick thinking and planning ahead to exit the building successfully.

Characters

 * Mr. ESC: A very professional escape artist with an unparalleled eye for coffee.
 * Jet: What may be considered as a "villain", but is not much more than a rival escapologist with a jetpack. He only appears if the player brings your companions to their doom or run out of time.
 * Companions: Several people throughout the scenarios of which the player has to escape, may it be children, young adults, fat adults, or patients.

Gameplay
Each level includes a starting point for Mr. ESC and an exit point. There may also be one or more trapped individuals within the level, and in many cases, Mr. ESC cannot successfully complete the level unless he rescues some or all of the individuals before he escapes. There is a time limit for completing each level.

Mr. ESC is rather agile, and can swim, run faster, and jump higher, more than any of the other trapped individuals. However, he is still prone to injury from hazards or from falling off of too high heights.

The individuals come in four types:
 * Youngs - These normal-sized people can climb over moderate height obstacles, can jump, and can also assist each other or Mr. ESC in various tasks.
 * Children - Children can only climb over small heights but can be assisted by Mr. ESC or a normal adult. They cannot jump as far as adults, but can traverse passages too small for Mr. ESC or other adults.
 * Adults - These waddling large-sized people can push very large objects, but cannot climb over moderate obstacles without help from at least two people (MR. ESC and another adult, or two adults).
 * Patients - Injured people must be either carried by Mr. ESC or an adult to the exit, or, if a stretcher is available, wheeled to the exit.

Except for the injured, the player as Mr. ESC can order these people to perform certain tasks, move to specific locations, or pick up, use, or trade tools on the level; however, until Mr. ESC has touched them, they remain in a panicked state and cannot help. These individuals will not willfully put themselves in a bad situation (they will refuse to make a drop they could not survive, for example), but they can still be injured from an indirect event (dropping a crate on them, for example). If a survivor is injured, they are carried to safety by Jet (a competitor of Mr. ESC). If too many survivors are injured to be able to meet the requirement, or if Mr. ESC himself is injured, the level is over and must be restarted.

Obstacles include crates which can be used to create platforms to reach higher ledges, fires that must be extinguished before they can be passed, water hazards which only Mr. ESC can swim in, one-way doors, fallen rock walls, exposed electrical wires, and more. Some tools can be used to remove the obstacle (such as a fire extinguisher to dose a fire or a pick-axe to clear rubble). There are some levels that are dark, and a flashlight is needed to see even part of an area of the level.

After completing a level, a score is given based on the number of people rescued, and the par time for the level. 100 points are possible for each level.

There are a total of 100 different levels, which are designed to appeal to the pick-up-and-play qualities of the PSP. 70 stages are available from the start, and the player can then play through them in any order. A player can repeat the level later to try to beat their previous high score. In addition to the packaged levels, 100 more are available for download off the game's website utilizing the PSP's on-board network functionality. The Xbox Live Arcade version has a total of 220 levels.

Reception
The PSP and Xbox 360 versions received "generally favorable reviews", while the DS version received "mixed" reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave the PSP version a score of two nines and two eights for a total of 34 out of 40. The same magazine later gave the DS version one nine and three eights for a total of 33 out of 40.

Charles Herold of The New York Times gave the PSP version a favorable review, saying it was "tremendous fun for fans of logic puzzles, but it has a few annoying quirks. Jumping large gaps in the floor is tricky, and I died far too often doing this. The process for giving commands to other people is a bit cumbersome." Detroit Free Press gave it three stars out of four, saying that it "has enough substance to keep you playing for hours and hours." 411Mania gave the DS version a score of 7.5 out of 10, calling it "a pretty simple game with a simple premise but it's hard to master and get down to a science." However, The Sydney Morning Herald gave the PSP version three stars out of five, calling it "A good mental workout that can prove to be addictive, despite its punishing quirks."

Sequel
In late June 2006, Famitsu revealed that Taito was working on a sequel to Exit titled Kangaeru Exit, released elsewhere as Exit 2. It was released in September 2006; a demo of the sequel was released for download in Japan in November 2006. Eventually the game was released for the Xbox Live Arcade on February 25, 2009.

Chomsky–Schützenberger theorem

In formal language theory, the Chomsky–Schützenberger theorem may refer to either of two different theorems derived by Noam Chomsky and Marcel-Paul Schützenberger concerning context-free languages:
 * The Chomsky–Schützenberger enumeration theorem about the number of words of a given length generated by an unambiguous context-free grammar
 * The Chomsky–Schützenberger representation theorem representing any context-free language by a combination of a regular language and a Dyck language

Brachylophosaurus

Brachylophosaurus ( or  ; meaning "short-crested lizard", Greek brachys = short + lophos = crest + sauros = lizard, referring to its small crest) was a mid-sized member of the hadrosaurid family of dinosaurs. It is known from several skeletons and bonebed material from the Judith River Formation of Montana, the Wahweap Formation of Utah and the Oldman Formation of Alberta, living about 81-76.7 million years ago.

Discovery and later finds
Brachylophosaurus was first named and described by Charles Mortram Sternberg in 1953 for a skull and partial skeleton, holotype NMC 8893, which he had found in 1936 near Steveville in Alberta, and which was at first thought to belong to Gryposaurus (or Kritosaurus as it was known at the time). The type species is Brachylophosaurus canadensis. The generic name is derived from Greek βραχύς, brachys, "short", and λόφος, lophos, "crest of a helmet". The specific name refers to the provenance from Canada. Later, it was recognised that specimen FMNH PR 862, a partial skull discovered in 1922, could also be referred to B. canadensis. The type specimen was uncovered in a layer of the middle Oldman Formation dating from about 78 million years ago. The holotype remained the only described and recognised specimen of the genus until the 1980s, when Jack Horner described a second species, Brachylophosaurus goodwini, in 1988. The specific name honours preparator and collector Mark Goodwin. This species was based on a partial skull and skeleton, specimen UCMP 130139 found in the Judith River Formation of Montana, at the Skull Crest. However, in 2005 a study by Albert Prieto-Márquez concluded that the perceived differences between the two species were either due to individual variation or the result of UCMP 130139 having been reconstructed with an upside down skull crest. B. goodwini would have been a junior synonym of B. canadensis.

A further Canadian find was specimen TMP 1990.104.0001, a partial skeleton with skull in 1990 discovered at Milk River in Alberta and collected by Tyrrell staffer Darren Tanke and crew. Brachylophosaurus has subsequently become better known from fossils found in Montana than Alberta, however, despite its specific name canadensis. These include specimens MOR 720, a braincase; MOR 794, a very complete skeleton with skull of an adult individual; and MOR 940, another braincase. Near Malta, Montana an entire bonebed of Brachylophosaurus fossils has been uncovered containing over eight hundred specimens, that have been catalogued under number MOR 1071. In 1994 at Malta in Phillips County, amateur paleontologist Daniel Stephenson discovered a complete and uncrushed Brachylophosaurus skeleton which he nicknamed "Elvis". Subsequently, even more informative finds were made by Murphy and his team from the Judith River Dinosaur Institute. On 20 July 2000, specimen JRF 115H or "Leonardo", a fully articulated and partially "mummified" skeleton of a subadult Brachylophosaurus, was discovered by Dan Stephenson. It is considered one of the most spectacular dinosaur finds ever, and was included in the Guinness Book of World Records. They subsequently excavated "Roberta", an almost complete gracile skeleton, and "Peanut", a partially preserved juvenile with some skin impressions. "Peanut" was discovered in 2002 by Robert E. Buresh and is on display at the Institute in Malta, MT. In May 2008, Steven Cowan, public-relations coordinator at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, discovered a Brachylophosaurus skeleton subsequently dubbed "Marco" from the same area as Leonardo.

Size and general build

Brachylophosaurus is notable for its bony crest, which forms a horizontally flat, paddle-like plate over the top of the rear skull. Some, depending on their age, had crests that covered nearly the entire skull roof, while others had shorter, narrower crests. Some researchers suggest it was used for pushing contests, but it may not have been strong enough for this. Other notable features are a relatively small head, the unusually long lower arms and the beak of the upper jaw being wider than other hadrosaurs of that time.

Apart from the above, Brachylophosaurus was a typical hadrosaur which reached an adult length of at least 9 m. In 2010, Gregory S. Paul estimated maximum length at 11 m resulting in weight of 7 MT. Like other hadrosaurs, Brachylophosaurus had features like cheeks to keep fodder in the mouth and dental batteries with hundreds of stacked teeth. These teeth could be used to chew efficiently, a feature rare among reptiles, but common among some cerapodan ornithischian dinosaurs like Brachylophosaurus.

Distinguishing traits
In 2015, Jack Horner established some distinguishing traits. Two of these are autapomorphies, unique derived characters. The crest formed by the nasal bones is flat and paddle-shaped in adult individuals and largely or totally overhangs the supratemporal fenestrae. The rear edge of the prefrontal bone overgrowths the frontal bone and more to the rear is oriented inwards and downwards to support the base of the crest and contribute to the edge of the supratemporal fenestra. Additionally, there is one trait that is not unique in itself but forms a unique combination with the two autapomorphies: the front branch of the lacrimal bone is extremely elongated and with its tip only touches the maxillary bone.

Skeleton
The head of Brachylophosaurus is elongated. It is wide at the rear and very narrow along most of the length of the snout. The upper beak however, abruptly widens at its rear edge, forming a broad bone core for a horn sheath. The nostrils are extremely large and between them the nasal bones form a narrow tall bone wall on top of much of the snout. More to behind the nasal bones stretch out horizontally, creating a flat tongue-shaped skull crest that overgrowths and ultimately overhangs, most of the skull roof. The crest is not hollow but consists of massive bone. The crest has a low longitudinal ridge on the midline.

The maxilla, the tooth-bearing upper jaw bone, is rather elongated in front. Its tooth positions increase during the lifetime of the animal, ranging from thirty-three in younger individuals to forty-eight in the holotype specimen. The teeth are stacked in a tooth battery, with up to three teeth per position. The battery forms a sharp cutting edge, bending inwards, with one or sometimes two teeth per position contributing to the attrition surface. More to behind, the lower jugal bones and quadrate bones flare out sidewards, so that the skull is much wider at its rear lower edges than at the top surface, resulting in a trapezium-shaped profile in posterior view.

Soft tissues
Several so-called "mummies" provide information about the soft tissues of Brachylophosaurus. These "mummies" actually consist of natural casts formed in moulds in the stone matrix surrounding the skeleton, preserving the outline of the body and showing skin imprints. The best studied "mummy" has been "Leonardo", a specimen 90% of the cast surface of which is covered by imprints. Generally, the surface is close to the bones, which could be caused by desiccation before burial or the compressive action of the covering sediment. An exception is the region around the right shoulder, which shows the profile of about six centimetres thick muscles. "Leonardo" also indicates that the base of the neck was heavily muscled and that the soft tissue upper neck profile was placed in an elevated position, running much higher than was usually reconstructed in drawings which tended to follow the curvature of the vertebral column, and filling much of the bend between the front back and the head.

On the snout, the remains of a broad keratinous beak are visible. The skin impressions show many folds and a structure of small polygonal scales. On the back a midline frill formed by triangular or hatchet-shaped projections is present. These seem to be individually separated and are placed as extensions of each neural spine of the vertebral column. The second, third and fourth finger of the hand are contained in a shared soft tissue "mitten".

Examination of the stomach of "Leonardo" also reveals that the dinosaur was parasitized by small, needle-like worms covered in fine bristles. The discovery indicates that other dinosaur species might have been hosts of similar parasites.

Classification
The following cladogram of hadrosaurid relationships was published in 2013 by Alberto Prieto-Márquez et al.:

Paleobiology
In 2003, evidence of tumors, including hemangiomas, desmoplastic fibroma, metastatic cancer, and osteoblastoma was discovered in fossilized Brachylophosaurus skeletons. Rothschild et al. tested dinosaur vertebrae for tumors using computerized tomography and fluoroscope screening. Several other hadrosaurids, including Edmontosaurus, Gilmoreosaurus, and Bactrosaurus, also tested positive. Although more than 10,000 fossils were examined in this manner, the tumors were limited to Brachylophosaurus and closely related genera. The tumors may have been caused by environmental factors or genetic propensity.

Diet
A 2008 study conducted on the famous dinosaur mummy Leonardo found that Brachylophosaurus had a diet that consisted of leaves, conifers, ferns, and flowering plants like magnolias. The study also found that Brachylophosaurus was a generalist herbivore; being both a browser and a grazer, but it did more of the former rather than the latter due to the contents found in its stomach.

Paleoecology
Some of the less common hadrosaurs in the Dinosaur Park Formation of Dinosaur Provincial Park like Brachylophosaurus may represent the remains of individuals who died while migrating through the region. They might also have had a more upland habitat where they may have nested or fed.

Y'all

Eucalyptus microcorys

Eucalyptus microcorys, commonly known as tallowwood, is a species of medium to tall tree that is endemic to eastern Australia. It has rough, fibrous or string bark on the trunk and branches, lance-shaped to egg-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven or nine, white to lemon-yellow flowers and conical fruit. It grows in forests near the coast of Queensland and New South Wales.

Description
Eucalyptus microcorys is a tree that typically grows to a height of 40-60 m, occasionally to 70 m and forms a lignotuber. It has rough, fibrous or stringy brownish bark on the trunk and branches. Young plants and coppice regrowth have egg-shaped leaves that are paler on the lower surface, 40-110 mm long and 15-50 mm wide. Adult leaves are glossy green, paler on the lower surface, lance-shaped to egg-shaped or slightly curved, 60-150 mm long and 15-35 mm wide on a petiole 10-15 mm long. The leaf veins are prominent, well-spaced and at an angle greater than 45° to the leaf mid-rib. The flower buds are usually arranged at the ends of the branchlets, on a branched peduncle in groups of seven or nine, the peduncle 4-18 mm long, the individual buds on pedicels 4-8 mm long. Mature buds are club-shaped, yellow, 3-5 mm long and about 3 mm wide with a rounded operculum. Flowering occurs between August and January and the flowers are white to lemon-yellow. The fruit is a woody conical capsule 5-9 mm long and 5-6 mm wide with the valves near rim level.

Taxonomy and naming
Eucalyptus microcorys was first formally described in 1860 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected by Hermann Beckler near the Hastings and Macleay Rivers. The specific epithet (microcorys) is from the ancient Greek micro- meaning "small" and corys meaning "helmet".

Distribution and habitat
Tallowwood mainly grows in tall open forest on fertile soil on slopes and ridges and in valleys. It is found from Fraser Island in Queensland, south to Cooranbong in New South Wales and as far inland as Toowoomba.

Talk:BellSouth

Article is not entirely unbiased, seems to be just a title to get an advertisement seen.
Bellsouth ( from the USA ) in the old Bell firm, and isn't an organisation anymore and yet it was a wikipedia add, Bellsouth Telecommunications could have a place( with history) but Bellsouth no. There are other earlier formed 'Bellsouth's' in the world so why is the AT&T verson up in lights here, especially when it is really called Bellsouth Telecomm's or whatever.

Timono (talk) 15:10, 23 June 2012 (UTC)Timono

Article is disorganized
This article is somewhat of a mess...I have no idea what BellSouth is after reading it. Was it founded in the 80s or after Southern Bell and South Central Bell merged? If I knew the answer to the question, I would edit the article myself. But I do not, so if you know, please clarify the article. The first part jumps around in the timeline. And confusing this is apparently another article named BellSouth. Perhaps a chronological history section would do wonders for this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.17.112.63 (talk) 01:46, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Unverified Paragraph
The following paragraph was added by an anon user who had been adding nonsense to other articles. If this paragraph can be verified correct, it should be put back into the article. -SCEhardt 16:17, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The image to the right is a photograph of the BellSouth Building, commonly mistaken as the BellSouth Corporation headquarters in Atlanta, GA. It is actually the main building for BellSouth Telecommunications (formerly Southern Bell headquarters) which is the phone company division of BellSouth Corporation. The BellSouth Corporation is headquartered in the Campanile building at the intersection of 14th and Peachtree streets in Atlanta, Georgia, across the street from the Colony Square hotel in Midtown.

Verified based on the address for BellSouth Corporation Headquarters given at http://bellsouth.mediaroom.com/ - SCEhard T 19:25, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

It is correct, Campanile is the corporate headquarters, however the "BellSouth Building" should be "BellSouth Center" (my office is in there, I'm certain of the name... but google will verify), I've corrected it here, and in other articles which mis-reference it. -chrisbw 03:54, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Out of date
Comment adeded by Leo3487 at Feb 21, 2006 at 05:18 am (GMT-3)

This articles is out-of-date, say than Bellsouth has sales in Latin Ammerica.... All the subsidiary in Latin America was bought by Telefónica —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.32.27.14 (talk • contribs).

BellSout and AT&T Deal
Any information on it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.19.147.2 (talk • contribs).
 * I've doc'd this as a current event, and also asked for cleanup. It's really poorly written, especially on the front end, and needs major expansion. Iamvered 22:08, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Bellsouth just announced they will stop fleecing customers to get merger oked.

Userbox
Anyone else find it ironic that the Bellsouth's userbox shows the initals BS?--Viridis 21:36, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Correct my if I'm wrong but I was just looking through this and found that it says Bellsouth is a Holding company of AT&T. Since AT&T bought Bellsouth and according to their own website (AT&T) Bellsouth is a subsidary wouldn't then the company be considered defunct or a holding of AT&T. SBC, Old AT&T, NYNEX are all listed as defunct on their pages. Just thgouth I'd share something.

I believe the company should be listed as defunct, as seen by the others. I believe AT&T now refers to Bell South as AT&T SouthEast. 24.229.242.83 03:20, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Odd, my internet provider's still referred to as BellSouth. This is what I am presented with when signing on.--Viridis 11:39, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, it's going to take a bit for all the 'branding' to get done. Donovan Ravenhull 17:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Bellsouth and AT&T have said that it will take at least through much of the first quarter and part of the second to get the branding and all sorted out. Officially, Bellsouth still exists, and will exist at least for that long. (I still write my check to Bellsouth for now) In addition, those of us with bellsouth.net email addresses will have to change to something else, most likely in the second quarter (which really ticks me off - I've had my e-mail address for more than ten years now, though I did have an attbi.com address as a secondary address when I had cable internet for a short time; the changes on that one as MediaOne/AT&T Broadband/Comcast got bandied about are a long story...feh). --Mhking 14:50, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

When SBC bought AT&T my email address didn't change...I still have the sbcglobal domain even though my son got an att domain when he signed up a few monthes ago, so your bellsouth domain should remain the same as it has been.

changed Holding company
changed Holding company of AT&T to Holding Company: AT&T because the previous wording meant that Bellsouth holds AT&T instead of the other way around. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.145.144.108 (talk) 04:07, 11 January 2007 (UTC).

BellSouth is not defunct
I don't know why in the article it says BellSouth is defunct, It still exists as a corporation but is now a wholly owned subsidary of AT&T, So this information should be changed to BellSouth is a telecommunications holding company which is a wholly owned subsidary of AT&T. 151.198.158.34 02:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It has now been changed to reflect that after 10 years.Granthew (talk) 06:33, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

Oslo City Hall

Oslo City Hall (Oslo rådhus) is a municipal building in Oslo, the capital of Norway. It houses the city council, the city's administration and various other municipal organisations. The building as it stands today was constructed between 1931 and 1950, with an interruption during the Second World War. It was designed by architects Arnstein Arneberg and Magnus Poulsson. The building is located in the city center, in the northern part of the Pipervika neighbourhood, and it faces Oslofjord.

Oslo City Hall is built of red brick and has two towers, one 63 meters tall and other 66 meters tall. The bricks used are larger than what was typical at the time of construction, but are roughly the same size as bricks used in the Middle Ages. The bricks, measuring approximately 27.5 × 13 × 8.5 cm, were produced by Hovin Teglverk in Oslo. The eastern tower has a carillon set of 49 bells. Various events and ceremonies take place in the building, notably the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, which takes place every December.

Middle Ages
It appears that in the Middle Ages, various different buildings had the function of a city hall. One source suggests that one of those buildings had a wine cellar which was open to the public.

Gamle rådhus
In 1624, all of old Oslo burnt to the ground. King Christian IV decided that the city should not be rebuilt at the same location and instead be built to the north of Akershus Fortress. The new city had wide streets at right angles. Building space for a town hall was made available between Rådhusgaten and Øvre Slottsgate. What is today referred to as the old City Hall (Gamle rådhus) was finished in 1641. The building still exists at Nedre Slottsgate 1. The building fell into decay and by 1733 a building at Rådhusgaten 7 was selected to be a new City Hall.

By the 1800s the building was too small and the growing administration moved to various premises across the city.

Architectural competitions were held in 1876 and 1898 for a new building at Hammersborg, but the plans were never carried out due to a lack of funds.

History
The idea of building a new city hall in Pipervika was first suggested by architect Oscar Hoff in 1906, but nothing came of the plans. In 1915, the idea was taken up by Hieronymus Heyerdahl, who had just stood down as mayor. He noticed the city's lack of a representative city hall to receive the municipality's guests during the 1914 Jubilee Exhibition in Frogner. He set up an architectural competition which received a total of 44 entries in the first of two rounds. In 1918 Arnstein Arneberg and Magnus Poulsson were selected as winners, whose project was clearly inspired by Stockholm City Hall. A continued lack of funds meant that construction had to wait, and in the intervening years the architects made several changes to the project. In 1930 they present their final draft, which had undergone significant changes, influenced by functionalism. The most apparent change was the addition of two office towers.

The ground stone laying ceremony took place in September 1931, with King Haakon VII and Crown Prince Olav in attendance. Actual construction began in February 1933. Various buildings were also torn down. The city's old amusement park – Tivoli – was also forced to close as a new zoning plan created new plots of land for sale. The purpose was to raise funds for the construction of the building.

In November 1936 the shell of the building was completed. A few floors of office space were in use by the time war broke out in 1940. Construction resumed after the war and the office space was in use by 1947, while final touches were still being added.

Oslo City Hall was officially opened on 15 May 1950, as part of the city's 900-year anniversary. Three musical compositions were written in connection with the celebrations, written by Ludvig Irgens-Jensen, Eivind Groven and Karl Andersen.

By the time it opened in 1950, the style of the building was no longer popular. Brick was in stark contrast to the steel and glass which architects considered modern at the time, and no further buildings were built in that style afterwards. Stockholm's city hall – also in brick – had been designed by Ragnar Östberg, and Martin Nyrop designed Copenhagen City Hall, which is also a monumental brick building. Both Nyrop and Östberg were on the jury which selected the winning design of Oslo City Hall.

Decoration
Various contests were held to decide who would decorate City Hall in January 1937. In all, eight painters and 17 sculptors were hired. Most of the work was completed by the opening of the hall in 1950, though the sculpture park was not completed until the 1960s.

Exterior
The western wall of the building is dominated by Anne Grimdalen's sculpture of Harald Hardråde on horseback. Nic Schiøll's sculpture of St. Hallvard is at the front of the building, facing Oslofjord. Reliefs by Dagfin Werenskiold face the square and are multicoloured depictions of motifs from the Poetic Edda. Joseph Grimeland designed the bronze relief over the entrance and also the Oslopike ("Oslo girl") high up on the wall. Six free-standing sculptures by Per Palle Storm in front of the building depict the craftsmen who built the building. Sigurd Nome's sculpture "Rorkaren" (The Oarsman) appears on the east facade.

Main Hall
The building's main hall was decorated by Henrik Sørensen and Alf Rolfsen. The Hall is 31 metres wide, 39 metres long and around 21 metres high. The floor and parts of the walls are clad in marble. The room has a series of wall paintings depicting Norway and Oslo between the wars and also during occupation. They also depict the growth of commercial activity in the city, including the rise of the labour movement. Various monarchs and the city's patron saint, St. Hallvard are also depicted.

City Council Hall
The room in which the City Council meets (Bystyresalen) is semi-circular. It is clad in oak and tapestries, the most noticeable of which was designed by Else Poulsson, the niece of the architect. Woven by Else Halling, it depicts St. Hallvard and the seven virtues. The artist hoped the design would remind the city's politicians of ethics and good decisionmaking.

Nobel Peace Prize ceremony
On December 10 (anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death) each year, Oslo City Hall hosts the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in which the annual laureate gives a lecture and is awarded the medal and diploma. A podium for the laureate and the Nobel Committee is erected in the far end of the hall for each ceremony. The Norwegian royal family and prime minister are attendants.

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)

 * A. As an admin.... well, there's closing AFDs, and blipping speedies, of course. Deleting garbage images. Possibly issuing vandal-blocks, although I'd want to consult with other admins at first to make sure of my judgment. Blocking inappropriate usernames. The occasional request for undeletion, which is usually a matter for VfU, but on rare occasions something that can be obvious. 23:57, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

 * A. deep breath

What am I particularly proud of? Well, despite not having known much about the struggle for Indian independence,I'm rather pleased with the work I did on Senapati Bapat and Govind Ballabh Pant (which I wrote practically from scratch) and Sardul Singh Caveeshar (and thank you, Bhadani, for an important bit of information). NPOVing Did Six Million Really Die? was quite satisfactory, as was, surprisingly enough, Millie Tant. Jhereg is good, I think, as is Hollywood accounting.

I like my "why we might think you're a sockpuppet so please don't get offended" speech.

There's an interesting little story behind how I came to create the entry for George Robert Vincent, which is on the article's talk page.

Dusky seaside sparrow makes me sad, but I'm proud of it. Musth makes me nervous, but I'm proud of it too. And I've been meaning to incorporate the content of Talk:Metastability in molecules into the article once I get around to creating some proper images. I added some amusing details to Graham Chapman, and I need to go back to Parinya Kiatbusaba and finish rewriting the last few paragraphs. Din-i-Illahi. Birbal. Earth X. De zaak alzheimer.

I'm always quite pleased when I save a valid article from getting deleted, as with Oliver Coipel, Sasha Spesivtsev, Liberty Belle, salary-celery merger, Joseph Ivor Linton. I also enjoy the opportunity to consult with primary sources, such as writing to Norman Spinrad to get details about whether The Iron Dream was banned in Germany, or asking Tobias Wolff if anyone had ever named an asteroid for him.

I resolved a dispute about Stepanakert. A substantial portion of anglerfish is from me, as is almost all of honey guide. Bread and circuses was scarcely more than a dicdef before I got to it. EBaum's World was missing some important information which was rather difficult to convey in a properly neutral fashion, but I think I did a reasonable job. Would you believe that, before I got to it, the article on the sport of bunnock didn't explain what bunnock is? I added the explanation to.

At this point, I've still got over a year's worth of edits to pick through in a search for "favorites", but I think that's enough. DS 19:59, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

 * A. Hm. Let's see, let's see. Edit wars. Hmm. I'm going to assume that anti-vandalism skirmishes, such as on John Byrne, don't count. Hmm. I'm going to have to read through my entire edit history to refresh my memory.

(three hours on Memory Lane later) Well, um, I was in a brief disagreement over the Mister Dressup article - I added a piece of trivia about a parody; User:Thivierr felt it was inappropriate there, and should be in the Radio Free Vestibule article instead; we exchanged... two messages on the topic, and currently I don't think the datum is in either article, because I conceded the point and felt it wasn't worth getting agitated about.

And... okay, the Einar H. Kvaran article, it was created by an anonymous user, I removed a large amount of genealogical information, and then I got a rather distraught note from User:Carptrash. Apparently, he had spent several weeks convincing an octogenarian neighbor of the value of WP, and I had "butchered" the article, thus scaring away the octogenarian, and didn't I know that genealogical information is very important in Icelandic culture, have I never read the Sagas?, and so he had reverted my changes. I spent a while reading up on Icelandic culture, conceded that genealogy is more important in Icelandic culture than I had realized, and then carefully edited the article again, leaving in the information about Einar H. Kvaran's parents, but deleting the information about his sons and nephews (other than their existence) because Wikipedia is not the Sagas, and the article is about Einar, not his sons and nephews. The article summary said "We don't need EVERY detail about his family tree, okay?", and I left an apology for the page creator (which he doesn't seem to have read; sigh). I thought everything was settled, but yesterday I found out that Carptrash had perceived this as an edit war, and had left messages for various Icelandic Wikipedians, asking that they come to his support in this.

Anything else... there were some minor disputes in the Static Shock page, where I twice asked User:Mare-Silverus to stop inserting his own thoughts as to what some of the characters were references to; I resolved this by, quite simply, contacting Static creator Dwayne McDuffie and asking him if Mare's interpretations were correct (answer: no).

There was a very slight dispute at Holy Prepuce - I deleted the reference to Catherine of Siena, it was restored, I deleted it again and left my reasons on the talk page - which was resolved after User:Muriel Gottrop made a helpful suggestion.

Annnnnnnnd.... that's it.

These don't typically cause me stress. If anything on WP causes me stress, it's vandals (well, and edit conflicts, and server problems).

I try to mediate conflicts, to come up with a mutually agreeable solution. Some individuals are resistant to that, and become more and more agitated; for such cases, if they don't storm off in a huff, and instead choose to wreak havoc, the regrettable solution is to issue a temporary block. That's a last resort, of course, following a proper RfC.

If something on WP annoys me, I get up, walk around, read a novel, eat an apple, call my girlfriend, play with the neighbor's dog... if it's something that requires my attention, I take the time to construct a proper response.

Vale Park

Vale Park is a football stadium in Stoke-on-Trent, England. It has been the home ground of Port Vale F.C. since 1950.

The ground has seen its capacity go up and down, its peak being 42,000 in 1954 against Blackpool, although a club record 49,768 managed to squeeze in for a 1960 FA Cup fifth round fixture against Aston Villa. Due to safety restrictions, it now has a capacity of 15,036 (19,052 without limitations), having undergone major restructuring to make the stadium an all-seater venue in the 1990s.

Overview
At 525 feet above sea level, it is the eleventh highest ground in the country and second-highest in the English Football League. The pitch is clay underneath the grass, rather than sand. These two factors make the pitch vulnerable to freezing temperatures. It is an extremely dry pitch, which often makes passing football quite difficult. There is also a coal seam under the pitch, and numerous mine shafts dotted around the local area, including many under the park opposite the ground.

The Vale Park pitch is one of the widest in the Football League. The pitch was originally laid over a filled-in marl hole and does not have a subsoil structure so is liable to flooding as it lacks proper drainage; a complete re-laying of the pitch would be needed to fix the issue (the club were quoted £450,000 for this work in 2014 ). Denis Dawson was head groundsman from 1966 to 1975; he succeeded Len Parton and was followed by Graham Mainwaring. The head groundsman from 1992 to 2022 was Steve Speed.

History
Following the club being informed that they would be evicted from The Old Recreation Ground by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, plans for a new stadium in a new area began. In 1944 Hamil Road – the site of a former clay pit – was chosen, a site opposite Burslem Park, where the club had played its football in the early years of its existence. The development became known as The Wembley of the North due to the planned size of the stadium, plans which included an 80,000 capacity with room for 1,000 parked cars. The club's leadership had not allowed the club's third-tier status or lack of money to curb their ambition. Life-time seats were sold for £100 (the price of admission for roughly 200 matches) but fewer than 100 fans bought them. Also costing £100, the pitch was the most expensive ever laid in the country at the time.

The ground opened in 1950 having eventually cost £50,000, and boasting a capacity of 40,000 (360 seated). The original ground consisted of just two stands, the Railway stand and the Lorne Street main stand, with banks of terracing at the Bycars and Hamil ends of the ground. The Bycars end was originally the Swan Passage stand from the Old Recreation Ground, which was taken apart, moved across the city and re-erected as the funds for an entirely new stand had run out. The first match was a 1–0 victory over Newport County on 24 August 1950 in front of 30,196 rain-soaked spectators. Walter Aveyard took the honour of being the first to score at the ground. The stadium's name was revealed for the first time on the same day – Vale Park.

Vale Park initially had problems with drainage, causing many games of the 1950–51 season to be postponed. The problem was finally resolved in summer 1960 when new drains were installed to help ease the winter mud spots.

In summer 1951, 578 seats were installed on the Railway Terrace, bringing the seated capacity of Vale Park to 1,010. In 1954, the Railway Stand was built, as capacity gradually increased to 50,000 by the decade's end. On 24 September 1958, Vale Park saw its first match under the new £17,000 floodlights, as the club beat West Bromwich Albion 5–3.

In summer 1973, the club erected a 2.5 feet high steel fence around the Bycars End to help combat hooliganism. A rare event occurred on 17 January 1976, when the Vale directors permitted rivals Stoke to play a home game against Middlesbrough at Vale Park. This happened because a severe gale severely damaged the Victoria Ground; whilst the gale also caused £2,000 worth of damage to Vale Park, the damage to Stoke's ground was much more severe. A crowd of 21,009 saw Stoke win 1–0.

In summer 1985, new safety regulations reduced Vale Park's capacity down to 16,800 and later again to 16,300. The summer of 1988 saw Vale Park given a £40,000 upgrade to repair the floodlights and a £20,000 electronic scoreboard was installed at the Hamil End. Three executive boxes were also purchased from Newcastle United, whilst facilities were opened to the local community. The following year the stadium was upgraded for £250,000. However, grants helped to halve the cost for the club itself. In November 1989, a £100,000 disabled stand was installed –the country's first purpose-built enclosure. Despite this effort, inspectors closed the Bycars End down due to safety issues and reduced the stadium's capacity to 12,000 after cutting the capacity of the Railway Paddock by two-thirds.

In summer 1990, 3,750 yellow and white seats were fitted in the Railway Paddock, and 1,121 seats were added to the upper tier of the Bycars End. The Bycars End roof was also removed for safety reasons, whilst a police box was constructed between the Railway Paddock and the Hamil End. The paddock at the front of the Railway Stand was later made into an all-seated area, with just the Lorne Street side left as a standing area. Vale fans stood for the last time on Lorne Street at the end of the 1997–98 season, with the stand being demolished before work began on a new £3 million structure. Work has yet to be finished due to a lack of finances and a change in club ownership. Despite the building work remaining uncompleted, the work done on the stadium under Bill Bell from 1985 had vastly improved the ground, as proven by the fact that sheep were once housed in the Railway Paddock toilets and allowed to graze on the pitch in the night; the toilets were notoriously unhygienic and were replaced under Bill Bratt's reign in 2006.

The Valiant 2001 Charter stated that Bratt's management team would invest £400,000 to install under-soil heating in mid-2002, and to also quickly complete the Lorne Street stand. However, it took until 2020 for the seats to be installed. Chairman Norman Smurthwaite separated Vale Park from Port Vale after taking the club out of administration in 2012. New high-tech floodlights were fitted in March 2019, paid for by the club's shirt sponsor. The stadium's ownership was returned to the club after Smurthwaite sold the club to Carol and Kevin Shanahan in May 2019. Five months later it was declared an "asset of community value status" by Stoke-on-Trent city council. The Shanahans spent £500,000 on ground improvement by summer 2021. Another £1.2 million was spent the following summer in order to make Vale Park a Championship standard ground.

Structure and facilities
The current stadium holds 15,036 supporters and has four stands: Lorne Street opposite to the Railway Paddock, and the Bycars End facing the Hamil Road End. The Lorne Street Stand is relatively new, seating 2,045, with 48 executive boxes that host 711 people. It was not completed when it opened, However, 1,500 seats were installed in the Lorne Street stand in April 2020. At the time of the stadium's construction, it was intended to be the grandstand. It contains the stadium's main entrance, dressing rooms, club offices and enterprise centre. The Hamil End has 4,514 seats and the Railway Stand has a capacity of 2,094. The Accessibility Stand has room for 106 spectators. The Bycars End, capacity 3,363, has housed away supporters since 2023. The Railway Paddock has a maximum capacity of 2,862.

Other events
On 1 August 1981, Vale Park hosted a one-off rock concert, Heavy Metal Holocaust, featuring Motörhead, Ozzy Osbourne Band, Mahogany Rush, Triumph, Riot and Vardis. Around 20,000 attended the concert, raising £25,000 for the club. Lars Ulrich was also in attendance, months before he co-founded Metallica.

In 1985, the Stoke Spitfires American football team used the ground for matches. The stadium has hosted three England under-18 games. The first was a 7–2 win over Switzerland in November 1992 (which saw a Robbie Fowler hat-trick); the second was a 1–1 draw with Romania in September 1993; and the third was a goalless draw with Norway in June 2005. It also hosted a full international women's match on 7 April 2017, when England played Italy.

Records
A club record 49,768 attended a 1960 FA Cup fifth round fixture against Aston Villa. Other historic matches include the defeat of two reigning FA Cup champions in the competition, as Stanley Matthews' Blackpool were beaten 2–0 in February 1954, and then 42 years later holders Everton were dumped out 2–1. The biggest victory in a competitive match came in December 1958 when Gateshead were beaten 8–0.
