Great Sioux Reservation

The Great Sioux Reservation initially set aside land west of the Missouri River in South Dakota and Nebraska for the use of the Sioux, who had dominated this territory. The reservation was established in the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868. It included all of present-day western South Dakota (commonly known as "West River" South Dakota) and modern Boyd County, Nebraska. This area was established by the United States as a reservation for the Teton Sioux, also known as the Lakota: the seven western bands of the "Seven Council Fires" (the Great Sioux Nation).

Today, the Sioux primarily live on reservations in Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana.

Reservation
In addition to the reservation dedicated to the Lakota, the treaty gave the Sioux the right to hunt and travel in "unceded" territory in much of Wyoming and in the Sandhills and Panhandle of modern Nebraska. Because each band had its own territory, the United States established several agencies through the Bureau of Indian Affairs to regulate the Lakota in this vast area.

The United States used the Missouri River to form the eastern boundary of the Reservation, but some of the land within this area had already assigned to other tribes, such as the Ponca. The Lakota Nation considered the West River area central to their territory, as it had been since their discovery of the Paha Sapa (Black Hills) in 1765, and their domination of the area after they conquered and pushed out the Cheyenne in 1776. Paha Sapa was sacred to the Lakota, and they considered it their place of origin, thousands of years earlier.

Custer's 1874 Black Hills Expedition from Fort Abraham Lincoln (near Bismarck, Dakota Territory) to the Black Hills or Paha Sapa discovered gold. The public announcement attracted numerous miners to the region, resulting in open conflict with the Lakota. The US Army defeated the Lakota in the Black Hills War.

By a new treaty of 1877, the United States forced the Sioux to cede a strip of land along the western border of Dakota Territory 50 mi wide, plus all land west of the Cheyenne and Belle Fourche rivers, including all of the Black Hills in modern South Dakota.

Most of the Sioux reservation remained intact for another 13 years.

General Allotment Act
In 1887, the United States Congress passed the General Allotment Act, also called the Dawes Act, to break up communal tribal lands on reservations and assign 160-acre plots in individual family households, in order to encourage subsistence farming. Among other problems, this plan did not take into account conditions on the Great Plains, and the allotments were generally too small to be successfully farmed in the arid conditions.

On 2 March 1889, Congress passed another act (just months before North Dakota and South Dakota were admitted to the Union on 2 November 1889), which partitioned the Great Sioux Reservation, creating five smaller reservations:

 * Standing Rock Reservation (which included land in modern North Dakota that had not been part of the Great Sioux Reservation), with its agency at Fort Yates;
 * Cheyenne River Reservation, with its agency west of the Missouri River near the Cheyenne River confluence; it was later moved to Eagle Butte, South Dakota, following the construction of Oahe Reservoir;
 * Lower Brule Indian Reservation, with its agency near Fort Thompson;
 * Upper Brule or Rosebud Indian Reservation, with its agency near Mission, South Dakota; and
 * Pine Ridge Reservation (Oglala Sioux), with its agency at Pine Ridge, South Dakota, near the Nebraska border.

Neither the Crow Creek Reservation, east of the Missouri River in central South Dakota, nor the Fort Berthold Reservation, which straddles the Missouri River in western North Dakota, were part of the original Great Sioux Reservation.

After the boundaries of these five reservations were established, the government opened up approximately 9 million acres (36,000 km2), one-half of the former Great Sioux Reservation, for public purchase for ranching and homesteading. Much of the area was not homesteaded until the 1910s, after the Enlarged Homestead Act increased allocations to 320 acre for what was recognized as "semi-arid land".

Settlement was encouraged by the railroads. In addition, the US government issued publications of scientific instruction (since found to be incorrect) on how to farm the arid land. New United States immigrants came to the area. The Lakota tribes received $1.25 per acre, usually used to offset agency expenses in meeting federal treaty obligations to the tribes.

Dawes Allotment Act
By the Dawes Allotment Act, the federal government intended to break up the communal tribal lands in Indian Territory and other reservations and allocate portions to individual households to encourage subsistence farming on the European-American model. Federal registrars recorded tribal members in each tribe, as land was allotted to heads of households. (The Dawes Rolls have been used by some tribes as the basis of historic documentation of membership.) Congress allocated 160 acre (0.64 km2) parcels to heads of families, and declared any remaining land to be "surplus" and available for sale to non-natives. This caused major losses in communal lands. After a period of time, Native Americans could sell their land individually, and did.

The allotment of individual parcels and other measures reduced the total land in Indian ownership, while the government tried to force the people to convert to the lifestyles of subsistence farmers and craftsmen. The allocations were not based on accurate knowledge of whether the arid lands could support the small family farms envisioned by the government. This was largely an unsuccessful experiment for the Lakota and most homesteaders alike. Numerous European immigrants homesteaded the newly available lands on the Plains. Self-styled experts recommended regular tilling the soil to "attract" moisture from the sky.

The Plains were settled during what historians now know was a wetter than normal period, and farmers had some early success. But, as more normal drought conditions returned, many farms folded. The farmers did not know how to best preserve the limited moisture in the soil, and their practices resulted in the Dust Bowl conditions of the 1930s. Huge dust clouds reached as far as eastern cities; much of the fertile topsoil was lost, and many farmers abandoned their land. Today most farming is done by large-scale industrial farms which use different techniques, such as winter planting, to raise wheat.

By the 1960s, the five reservations had lost much of their territories, some through sales after the allotment process. In addition, the United States seized land as part of federal water-control projects, such as construction of Lake Oahe and other mainstream reservoirs on the Missouri River as part of the Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin Program. For instance, the Rosebud Reservation, which once included all of four counties and part of another, has been reduced to a single county: Todd County in south-central South Dakota. Much Indian-owned land remains in isolated sections of the other counties. Similar reductions occurred in the other reservations.

Both inside and outside the reservation boundaries in West River, the Lakota are an integral part of the region and its history: many towns have Lakota names, such as Owanka, Wasta, and Oacoma. Towns such as Hot Springs, Timber Lake, and Spearfish have English names translated from the original Lakota names. Some rivers and mountains retain Lakota names. The buffalo and antelope, indigenous game that were the basis of Lakota diet, now graze together with cattle and sheep. Bison ranching has been increasing on the Great Plains, in efforts to revive this important species. Numerous monuments honor Lakota and European-American heroes and events.

Land claims
Although many non-Native homesteads were abandoned during the Dust Bowl-era of the 1930s, rather than reassigning the land to the Sioux, the federal government transferred much of the abandoned land to federal agencies. For instance, the National Park Service took over part of the modern National Grasslands and the Bureau of Land Management was assigned other land for management.

In some cases, the United States appropriated more land from the reduced reservations, as in the case of the WW2-era Badlands Bombing Range, taken from the Oglala Sioux of Pine Ridge. Although the range was declared surplus to USAF needs in the 1960s, it was transferred to the National Park Service rather than returned to the tribe's communal ownership.

Considering the Black Hills sacred and illegally taken, in the 20th century, the Lakota pursued a suit against the US government for the return of the land. In the 1980 United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the land had been taken illegally. The US government offered financial compensation in settlement. The Oglala Lakota are persisting in their demand to have the land returned to their nation; the account with their settlement compensation is earning interest.

George Henry Bogert

George Henry Bogert (February 6, 1864 – December 13, 1944) was an American landscape painter.

Life and work
George Henry Bogert was born in New York City, the son of Henry Bogert and Helen Anderson Evans. His father was a paper manufacturer, and a noted collector of coins, medals, and writings on numismatics. As a student at the National Academy of Design and later under Thomas Eakins in New York City, he early on displayed the talent that later brought him fame.

In 1884 he went to France and painted landscapes for a time at Grez, near the forest of Fontainebleau, afterwards going to Paris, where he studied under Colin, Aimé Morot, and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. Four years later he returned to New York and thereafter until his death was a frequent exhibitor at the Society of American Artists, the National Academy of Design, and elsewhere. In 1899, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member.

It was in 1901 that his landscape work began to attract attention. At the outset his achievements were tentative, but evidenced sincerity and promise. Within a few years it was evident that the artist was rapidly approaching the completeness that marks reflective work, and his paintings testified to the maturity of his style. In his summer journeys abroad he painted at Étaples on the French coast with Eugène Boudin and in the Netherlands and on the Isle of Wight. In these surroundings he found sympathetic material for many of his subsequent works. His compositions were said to preserve that truth in nature which represents true art and he became a profound synthesist, ever seeking to secure unity of ensemble and endeavoring to avoid striking a false note in his efforts to produce harmony of color and effect. His success in this direction is strikingly illustrated in his composition "Sea and Rain", and in many of his pictures the scope of his artistic vision is wide and comprehensive. A most prolific painter whose work found a ready and discriminating market. Bogert was exceedingly versatile, a characteristic that prevented him from having pronounced style.

In 1911 an exhibit of his work was held at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, and attracted widespread notice. His work is represented in the permanent collection of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, thanks to a gift from the New York merchant, George Hearn. In 1911 and 1914 he painted at the Old Lyme Art Colony in Old Lyme, Connecticut.

In 1895 Bogert executed "The English Channel from St. Ives to Lelant", which was purchased by popular subscriptions in St. Louis and presented to the St. Louis Museum of Fine Arts. He won honorable mention at the Pennsylvanian Academy of Fine Arts in 1892; was awarded the Webb Prize at the exhibition of American artists in 1868 for "Evening, Honfleur"; received the 1899 First Hallgarten Prize from the National Academy of Design; won a bronze medal at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900; was awarded silver medals at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo in 1901 and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis in 1904, and received gold medals from the American Society of Arts in 1902 and 1907.

Bogerts work has been displayed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, National Gallery, Corcoran Gallery of Art, Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Huntington Library, Pennsylvania Academy, Brooklyn Museum, Edinburgh Museum in Scotland, Shanghai Club in China, Minneapolis Institute of Art, and others, also in private collections, including those of Andrew Carnegie, Clarence Mackay, and Thomas B. Clark.

He married on June 2, 1865 Baltimore Maryland to Margaret Austin Merryman, daughter of Joseph P. Merryman, and had two children: Austin (died in childhood), and Eleanor Bogert, who married Charles Bradford Welles. He died in New York City.

Untitled
Started article-Dakota 03:09, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

I looked into this article because there was a broken link, and because it was odd that this tragedy gets no mention on Mills Godwin's page. The CBS news coverage and the recollections of Sen. Andrews both suggest a date of August 1968, not July 1966; since all versions agree on an age of 14 I changed the YOB to 1954 from 1952 (the previous correction had changed the YOD to match up to the YOB, apparently incorrectly). Also, since the accident and the CBS story of Becky's death are 3 days apart, I had to remove the line that she was dead when the rescuers arrived, as there is no reference to back this up. While this leaves a number of unverified facts (the weather, who else was there, etc) its an improvement. I thought it worth leaving a comment about all this since it changes many of the facts in the article Bazzargh 00:57, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Notability
As sad as Godwin's death was, I have to ask whether it merits a Wikipedia article. As our Lightning strike article notes, there are estimated to be 24,000 fatalities worldwide annually due to lightning (source: ) - and we clearly don't document them all.

Talk:Life Teen

Shouldn't we move the page, to LIFETEEN (LIFE TEEN)? --Dpr

Yes. I'm anon and can't move it, though.--67.149.77.77 21:56, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps add some information about the type of music played at Life Teen Masses? Tvaughn05 05:04, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Adding some details
Don't know if needed but I miss:

-Focus on Eucharist (source & summit), relational ministry, dedication to Mary.

-Sticking to (positively as I see it) Roman-Catholic laws (so no 'semi-Catholicism') and liturgy

-Locations of LifeTeen. I know there is some also in Canada, SouthAfrica, Australia, Asia, Europe (Germany, Italy). In Netherlands, LifeTeen is also expanding from 2 to 4 (or even 6) in the near future.

Over Wikipedia, I am missing articles about central people of Life Teen: Matt Maher, Randy Raus, Lisa Epperson, Phil Baniewicz, Tom Booth (and their links in either LifeTeen and CCM-articles). I believe these are the founders of the new era of Catholicism and articles may become necessary in the future.

As this is the English version and not the Dutch one, I do not know if this info is relevant and how to write this all objectively.

Just a quick note: As posted on LT.com, the name is now "Life Teen", not all caps. Edits made on page. Also, my 'summary' of the new name change may be insufficient or unclear. Someone else probably could spruce it up nicer? Also, would it plausible to put a new screen shot of LifeTeen.com? The new layout has changed drastically from the posted picture. Anyone? Streamside 03:12, 2 March 2007 (UTC).

Objections?
I am surprised that no one has written an opposition article to this? As a Conservative Traditionalist Catholic I despise the approach that lifeteen has given to the Eucharist. It is a loss of catholic identity! I refuse to write anything about the objections to Lifeteen because of my extreme bias against it but there are many young males and females like me who are longing for the return to a more solemn tradition mass. DaBuschman 8 Sept 2006

 * I'm guessing that the traditional masses are still held, right? My impression is that this "life teen" is an optional extra. Hang on..... are you serious? :p

Yoda921 13:40, 14 February 2007 (UTC)Yoda

Fr. Dale Fushek
Although there's a link to Fr. Dale Fushek, it seems there should at least be a brief note about the fact that the founder of LifeTeen is currently awaiting trial on some pretty extreme sex-abuse charges. Wasn't there also a related scandal with Fr. Fushek's lawyer being on the Board of Directors of LifeTeen? These are just some items that should be investigated and included in the interest of full-disclosure.

>Maybe we can also put notes about all good people that founded Life Teen. I think there are more good stories than bad ones... Fr Dale Fushek is already being trialed for these acts, and Life Teen is now being led by other people.

It seems to me, although scandalous, the accusation against Fushek are still part of the Life Teen story and should be included. Information could also be included about how the Life Teen organization responded the the scandal.

It seems difficult to post any verifiable news about the accusations or their outcome, with the lack of actual news on the subject. Without an actual news source, posts will end up as hearsay, which can/will quickly change.

If anything - you should take this whole section out. This does not define life teen, and really has nothing to do with it anymore. It should not even be mentioned. Everybody is past this, and to keep it around will only do damage to a perfectly fine organization. It's corrupting the teens that are already involved. They do not need to know about this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.147.147.241 (talk) 22:41, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Edit of 15 March 2008
Someone added a reference to critiscm on the music by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, with indeed a quotation of the USCCB-document "Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship". However, the quotation seems to imply that the music played during LifeTeen-masses IS considered as these being described as 'cheapening' the Liturgy in the document. However:

1) The quotation is too limited to show this link

2) The composition of LifeTeen-songs is obviously theologically well thought of and there is a pastoral approach to the music in relation to the Mass. I met some of these musicians myself and they have a very clear view about what sacred Liturgy is and what (humble) role their music should play in the totality of the Lord's Sacrifice. I could imagine that would the document refers to is music like "Jingle Bells" or other almost-profane songs; or parishes putting more stress on music than on the Liturgy itself. LifeTeen's use of this music comes from a very different point of view and therefore I am not convinced about the inclusion of LifeTeen-music into this part of the document.

3) Comparison between regular music and 'contemporary Christian music' is not clear to me at all. The music used in LifeTeen is produced on a very different basis than regular popmusic. Musicians tend to be very ethical in commercial actions and live up to the high standards God is asking from us through His Church. All lyrics are centered on the mysteries of our beliefs and really try to put their focus on the Eucharist and Jesus. Furthermore I believe there is a lot more creativity in the used christian music than in regular pop-music. So to say, I also find it difficult to hear a difference between the Stabat Mater-hymn and a profane classical-music part (Nevertheless I still like them both).

I also would like to warn that criticism resulting from a difference of taste is no valid criticism, when regarding the Celebration of the Lord's own good works. There may be some (or a lot) exceptions, parishes that use the name LifeTeen just to make their liturgy sound 'cool', but this has and never will be the intention of LifeTeen.

Plus: To my experience, 'progressive' music does in no way establish a too 'progressive' ministry. I have been in other parishes where traditional music is played but homily and other pastoral actions are far off the guidelines by the Roman-Catholic Church.

History Section
User:Instaurare and I have spent a few weeks reverting edits made by anon that talk about Dale Fuschek's many troubles and the response of Life Teen to them. Among other things, these edits violate WP:NPOV and WP:BLP, the latter of which states that "Contentious material about living persons (or in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion." This material hits on all counts - it is contentious, it is about a living person, and it is unsourced (which is not to say that it isn't true). In addition, it is written with a clear bias and tone. Additionally, this information is about Fushek himself, not about Life Teen. It belongs on his article, not here.

After several reverts, and putting a warning on anon's talk page, they persisted in adding the material. | I reported anon at the administrators notice board. Shortly after it appears User:Lifeteenadmirer created an account, and then reverted the same old unsourced, POV material about Fushek to the article. I believe anon and Lifeteenadmirer are the same person. I'm willing to work with this new user to improve the article, but not if they are going to insist on violating Wikipedia's core policies. --Briancua (talk) 20:46, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Terence O'Donnell

Terence O'Donnell (1924 - 2001) was an American writer. He was born in Portland, Oregon and graduated from the University of Chicago. He resided in Portland most of his life and worked at the Oregon Historical Society. During the latter part of his life, he spent some of his in an apartment on the South Park Blocks in Portland.

O'Donnell is perhaps best known as the author of the Garden of the Brave in War: Recollections of Iran, which was published in 1980, during the Iran hostage crisis. The book was praised by critics and, although it did not attain broad popular readership, it is now regarded as a classic work. It is told from a personal perspective, with observations about daily life and culture in southern Iran.

Howard Jacobson

Howard Eric Jacobson (born 25 August 1942) is a British novelist and journalist. He writes comic novels that often revolve around the dilemmas of British Jewish characters. He is a Man Booker Prize winner.

Early life
Jacobson was born in Manchester to parents of Russian-Jewish heritage (his father's parents came from Kamianets-Podilskyi in what is now Ukraine, and his mother's family from Lithuania). He has a brother. He was brought up in Prestwich, and educated at Stand Grammar School in Whitefield, Greater Manchester before going on to study English at Downing College, Cambridge, under F. R. Leavis. He graduated with a 2:2.

He lectured for three years at the University of Sydney before returning to Britain to teach at Selwyn College, Cambridge. He also taught at the Wolverhampton Polytechnic from 1974 to 1980.

Career
Jacobson's time at Wolverhampton was to form the basis of his first novel, Coming from Behind, a campus comedy about a failing polytechnic that plans to merge facilities with a local football club. The episode of teaching in a football stadium in the novel is, according to Jacobson in a 1985 BBC interview, the only portion of the novel based on a true incident. He also wrote a travel book in 1987, titled In the Land of Oz, which was researched during his time as a visiting academic in Sydney.

Jacobson's fiction, particularly in the six novels he has published since 1998, is characterised chiefly by a discursive and humorous style. Recurring subjects in his work include male–female relations and the Jewish experience in Britain in the mid- to late-20th century. He has been compared to prominent Jewish-American novelists such as Philip Roth, in particular for his habit of creating doppelgängers of himself in his fiction.

His 1999 novel The Mighty Walzer, about a teenage ping-pong champion, won the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for comic writing. It is set in the Manchester of the 1950s and Jacobson, himself a table tennis fan in his teenage years, admits that there is more than an element of autobiography in it. His 2002 novel Who's Sorry Now? – the central character of which is a Jewish luggage baron of South London – and his 2006 novel Kalooki Nights were longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. Jacobson described Kalooki Nights as "the most Jewish novel that has ever been written by anybody, anywhere". It won the 2007 JQ Wingate Prize.

As well as writing fiction, he also contributes a weekly column for The Independent newspaper as an op-ed writer. In recent times, he has, on several occasions, attacked anti-Israel boycotts, and for this reason has been labelled a "liberal Zionist".

In October 2010 Jacobson won the Man Booker Prize for his novel The Finkler Question, which was the first comic novel to win the prize since Kingsley Amis's The Old Devils in 1986. The book, published by Bloomsbury, explores what it means to be Jewish today and is also about "love, loss and male friendship". Andrew Motion, the chair of the judges, said: "The Finkler Question is a marvellous book: very funny, of course, but also very clever, very sad and very subtle. It is all that it seems to be and much more than it seems to be. A completely worthy winner of this great prize." His novel Zoo Time won the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize (2013), Jacobson's second time winning the prize (the first in 1999 for The Mighty Walzer).

In September 2014, Jacobson's novel J was shortlisted for the 2014 Man Booker Prize.

Jacobson has argued that an education in science and technology is more conducive to terrorism than an education in the arts and social sciences.

Style
Although Jacobson has described himself as "a Jewish Jane Austen" (in response to being described as "the English Philip Roth"), he also states, "I'm not by any means conventionally Jewish. I don't go to shul. What I feel is that I have a Jewish mind, I have a Jewish intelligence. I feel linked to previous Jewish minds of the past. I don't know what kind of trouble this gets somebody into, a disputatious mind. What a Jew is has been made by the experience of 5,000 years, that's what shapes the Jewish sense of humour, that's what shaped Jewish pugnacity or tenaciousness." He maintains that "comedy is a very important part of what I do."

Broadcasting
Jacobson has scripted television programmes including Channel 4's Howard Jacobson Takes on the Turner, in 2000, and The South Bank Show in 2002, which featured an edition entitled "Why the Novel Matters". An earlier profile went out in the series in 1999 and a television documentary entitled "My Son the Novelist" preceded it as part of the Arena series in 1985. His two non-fiction books – Roots Schmoots: Journeys Among Jews (1993) and Seriously Funny: From the Ridiculous to the Sublime (1997) – were turned into television series.

Jacobson presented "Jesus The Jew", episode one of Christianity, A History, on the UK's Channel 4 in January 2009 and in 2010 he presented "Creation", the first part of the Channel 4 series The Bible: A History.

On 3 November 2010, Jacobson appeared in an Intelligence Squared debate (stop bashing Christians, Britain is becoming an anti-Christian country) in favour of the motion.

In February 2011 Jacobson appeared on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs. His musical choices included works by J. S. Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Louis Armstrong as well as the rare 1964 single "Look at Me" by the Whirlwinds. His favourite was "You’re a Sweetheart" by Al Bowlly with Lew Stone and His Band.

He wrote and presented the Australian biographical series Brilliant Creatures (2014) on four famous expatriate iconoclasts.

Personal life
Jacobson has been married three times. Engaged at 21 whilst a student at Cambridge, he married his first wife Barbara in 1964 after graduating, when he was 22. They have a son, Conrad Jacobson, born in December 1968. During his time at Cambridge, Barbara attended some of Leavis' seminars with Jacobson. Before leaving Cambridge they attended a party where amongst the guests were the playwright Simon Gray, and Germaine Greer, whose job Jacobson was filling in Sydney.

In late 1964 Howard and Barbara emigrated to Australia, taking a six-week voyage on P&O's SS Oriana. On arrival, Jacobson took up a lectureship at Sydney University. They returned to Manchester in 1967, living there briefly before moving to London, where Conrad was born. This was followed by Howard teaching at Selwyn College, Cambridge, and running the family business on Cambridge Market selling handbags and leather goods. Jacobson returned to Australia when Conrad was 3 years old. He remained without a teaching post. Jacobson eventually returned to the UK after several years. Barbara divorced him in his absence. They share a granddaughter Ziva, born in 2008.

He married his second wife, Rosalin Sadler, in 1978; they divorced in 2004. In 2005, Jacobson was married for the third time, to radio and TV documentary maker Jenny De Yong. He stated, "My last wife. I'm home, it's right".

Politics
In August 2014, Jacobson was one of 200 public figures who signed a letter to The Guardian urging Scots to vote against independence in the run-up to the Scottish independence referendum.

In November 2017, Jacobson joined Simon Sebag Montefiore and Simon Schama in writing a letter to The Times about their concern over antisemitism in the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership, with particular reference to a growth in Anti-Zionism and its "antisemitic characteristics". Schama and Sebag Montefiore have both written historical works about Israel, while Jacobson has written regularly about Israel and the UK Jewish community in his newspaper columns. In September 2018, Jacobson argued in favour of the motion "Jeremy Corbyn is Unfit to be Prime Minister" in a debate hosted by Intelligence Squared.

Jacobson made a further criticism of the party in July 2019, when he joined other leading Jewish figures in saying, in a letter to The Guardian, that the investigation by the Equality and Human Rights Commission into the party in relation to antisemitism allegations was "a taint of international and historic shame" and that trust between the party and most British Jews was "fractured beyond repair".

Beat the Boots! II

'Beat the Boots! II' is a box set by Frank Zappa and a follow-up to the 1991 box set of the same name. Released in 1992 through Rhino Entertainment, the set contains legal reissues of seven bootleg recordings made between 1968 and 1978 and originally distributed illegally prior to this official release. As with the previous box set, no alterations were made to the audio contents or covers of the original bootlegs, reproducing the exact contents and packaging of the bootleg albums.

Contents
The set, packaged in what was designed to look like a low budget cardboard box, also contained a beret, a badge and a memorabilia scrapbook.

Daintree River

The Daintree River is a river that rises in the Daintree Rainforest near Cape Tribulation in Far North Queensland, Australia. The river is located about 100 km northwest of Cairns in the UNESCO World Heritagelisted Wet Tropics of Queensland. The area is now primarily a tourist attraction.

Course and features
The river rises on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range within the Daintree National Park below Kalkajaka at an elevation of 1270 m. The river flows in highly meandering course generally north, then east, then south and then east, through the rainforest where the water is fresh. At this convergence point, an abundance of wildlife congregate, particularly fish. The river is joined by two minor tributaries before flowing through the Cairns Marine Park through thick mangrove swamps where the water is highly saline; and then empties into the Coral Sea, north of. The mouth of the Daintree River opens onto a giant sandbar that shifts with each changing tide. The river descends 1270 m over its 127 km course.

The catchment area of the river occupies an 2107 km2 of which an area of 33 km2 is composed of estuarine wetlands.

Flooding
The river is surrounded by mountains and deep valleys. Combined with the climatic conditions of the area the river is prone to quickly developing floods with little warning due to the high rainfalls on the 1000 m mountain ranges around the catchment and the influence of the cyclonic forces in the adjacent Coral Sea. In March 1996, record flood levels swamped roads and properties throughout the Daintree region. Statistics gathered at the time recorded 606 mm of rain falling in 24 hours.

In 2011, two new causeways were completed over Cape Tribulation Road, making the drive mostly floodproof in all but the most severe rain events. In particular, the notorious bottleneck at Cooper Creek was raised 3 m.

In 2019, the river peaked at 12.6 metres at Daintree breaking the 1901 record of 12.4 metres.

In 2023, a new record of 15 metres was recorded at Daintree after torrential rains from ex-Cyclone Jasper flooded the catchment.

Attraction
People are drawn to the area for its ancient vegetation, scenic surroundings, and the diverse array of native wildlife and plant species that inhabit the area. Currently, there is no bridge to enable crossing the river, so access is limited to the Daintree River Ferry, a commercial ferry that traverses the river for the purpose of tourism. Other features that surround the river include Kalkajaka, Daintree Range, Thornton Peak and the Cape Tribulation Rainforest. The Daintree River is home to a dazzling array of tropical life.

Indigenous history
The Kuku Yulanji is the indigenous people who once inhabited the regions surrounded by the Daintree River. The tribespeople were hunter-gatherers who lived in groups of eight to twelve, camping along the banks of the river and living on a staple diet that included a selection of bush tucker harvested from the vegetation from the forest surrounding the Daintree. It has been estimated that the tribe resided on the banks of the Daintree river for over 9,000 years.

European history
Due to the ever-shifting deep centre of the sandbar, entering the Daintree River has always been a problem for ship captains. The area was missed by Captain Cook when passing in the voyage where his ship was wrecked on the Great Barrier Reef. The Daintree River was first seen by Europeans in 1873 after they were attracted to nearby regions due to its vast natural reserves of gold. George Elphinstone Dalrymple, the Queensland Gold Commissioner on the Gilbert gold field at that time, was the first European to visit the river and he named the river in honour of Richard Daintree, an English geologist and the Agent-General for Queensland in London. The Daintree was rated second to the Proserpine River, as the river in Queensland where people were most likely to spot a saltwater crocodile from 2000 to 2012, with 145 sightings recorded over the period.

World Heritage listing
The Wet Tropics of Queensland was given UNESCO World Heritage listing, inclusive of the Daintree River in recognition of "its outstanding natural universal value as an outstanding example representing; the major stages of Earth's evolutionary history, significant ongoing ecological and biological processes, superlative natural phenomena and as containing important and significant habitats for in situ conservation of biological diversity. The river is part of the much larger Daintree Rainforest, region in Northern Queensland encompassing 894000 ha.

Flora and fauna
The river and its surroundings are home to some of the most primitive forms of animal and plant life in the world. The surrounding mountains and valleys provided protection from the forces to adapt to climate change by sheltering several species of plants. A notable example is the primitive She-oak Gymnostoma australianum. This pine-like tree is the only remaining species in the Gymnostoma group of plants in Australia, and is now restricted to very isolated pockets north of the Daintree River. The genus was once widespread throughout Gondwana, and its relatives are still found in parts of the Pacific and south-east Asia.

Of the five species of ringtail possum found in north Queensland rainforests, the Cinereus ringtail possum (Pseudochirulus cinereus) is almost wholly restricted to the Daintree catchment. Within the park, this species is found only in upland rainforest on Thornton Peak and the upper reaches of the Daintree and Mossman Rivers. Once considered a light-coloured form of the Herbert River ringtail possum, commonly found throughout the Atherton Tablelands, it was described as a distinct species in 1989. Black and white Striped possums (Dactylopsila trivirgata) are quite common throughout the park, particularly in the coastal lowlands north of the Daintree River, although to see one while spotlighting requires a mixture of luck and know-how.

Due to the river's isolation, saltwater crocodiles - once threatened in the region due to hunting - have flourished in recent years, beneficiaries of legislation that protects them. There have been numerous reports of deaths in the Daintree River from crocodile attacks. Authorities warn tourists and visitors not to step close to the riverbank, and stay within the confines of boats, and absolutely never swim in the river.

So ..... the 'Beauty Myth' is .....what exactly?
Perhaps it's not the function necessarily of a Wikipedia page to elucidate, but I'm sure I have no more of an idea what the myth is, after reading this article, than I had before. For what it's worth I've never seen any evidence that women are judged more extensively or harshly on the basis of their appearance because of their sex. In my experience men are equally extensively and harshly judged on appearance alone. It's legitimate to criticise the practice, but I don't think it's amenable to criticism for being a sexually biased one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.151.210.84 (talk) 16:07, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

DTE Electric Company

DTE Electric Company (formerly The Detroit Edison Company) was founded in 1886.

DTE Electric's power generation portfolio includes renewable energy, but is primarily generated by fossil fuels. In 2022, 68.58% of electricity generated by DTE came from coal, gas, and oil. The regional average fossil fuel mix was 65.82%. As of 2022, DTE's emission levels of Carbon Dioxide, Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides are higher than the regional averages, but lower High-Level Nuclear Waste.

History
Detroit Edison was part of a large holding company called North American Edison Company. North American's stock had once been one of the twelve component stocks of the May 1896 original Dow Jones Industrial Average. North American Company was broken up by the Securities and Exchange Commission, following the United States Supreme Court decision of April 1, 1946.

After that, Detroit Edison operated independently, and publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol DTE through the mid-1990s. In early 1996, it became an operating subsidiary of the new holding company, DTE Energy Company, which replaced Detroit Edison Company on the stock exchange, and took over the trading ticker symbol.

Fossil Fuel Plants
Current operating DTE Energy's coal and natural gas power plants: In 2016, DTE Energy announced the retirement of three coal-fired generating units among its plants by 2023. The plants are located in River Rouge, St. Clair in East China Township and Trenton. In sum, the plants power around 900,000 homes. The Detroit Free Press wrote that employees at the closing plants will be able to transfer to other facilities and will not lose their jobs.

River Rouge Power Plant's retirement was expedited to 2021 with its last megawatt produced on May 31, 2021, and formally retired on June 4, 2021.

Trenton Channel Power Plant and St. Clair Power Plant retired in 2022, replaced by renewable energy projects.

It was announced on December 8, 2022, that Monroe Power Plant will retire units 3 and 4 in 2028 and united 1 and 2 in 2032 (originally 2042). Belle River Power Plant will be repurposed to become a natural gas plant in 2026 (originally 2028).

Blue Water Energy Center
In 2018, the Michigan Public Service Commission approved Blue Water Energy Center, a natural gas combined-cycle plan. This will replace three retiring coal plants, reducing carbon emissions by 70 percent, and provide power to 850,000 homes.

Blue Water Energy Center began commercial operation on June 6, 2022.

Nuclear
DTE currently operates one nuclear plant, Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station, generating 21% of DTE Electric's power.

Renewable
Since 2009, DTE has driven investment of $2.8 billion in renewable energy assets, increasing to $4.8 billion by 2024.

Since April 2021, DTE Electric operates 18 wind and 31 solar parks, totaling 1,760 megawatts of clean energy, powering 670,000 homes.

Wind
DTE currently has 18 operational wind parks in their portfolio.

As the state's largest investor in and producer of wind energy, DTE produces enough energy from renewable sources to power more than 500,000 homes.

Solar
DTE currently operates 31 solar parks in Michigan.

In May 2016, the company broke ground on a solar array project in Lapeer, Michigan touted as the largest utility-owned solar array east of the Mississippi River. Lapeer Solar Park generates enough electricity to power 9,000 homes. DTE Energy also operates a 10-acre solar installation in Detroit on the site of the abandoned O'Shea Park.

Hydro
DTE and Consumers Energy co-own the Ludington Pumped Storage Plant on Lake Michigan in Mason County, Michigan.

Landfill-based gas-to-energy operations
In May 2017, DTE Energy announced it had acquired "two landfill-based gas-to-energy operations" in Texas. The company wants to expand its operations to alternative vehicle fuel. The operations it acquired were the Fort Bend Power Producers, LLC facility outside of Rosenberg, Texas and the Seabreaze landfill gas development in Angleton, Texas, which has yet to be developed.

After these projects are operational, the company will have five "landfill conversion facilities which capture and convert dangerous landfill gases to pipeline-quality renewable natural gas". The gases will go to fueling transit buses.

Energy Storage
In 2024, DTE Energy announced that it was transforming the land formerly occupied by the Trenton Channel Power Plant into a 220 MW battery energy storage center.

Electric cars
In July 2018, DTE Energy filed a proposal to invest $13 million into an electric car charging program. The program would upgrade transformers and also include service drops, materials, hardware, new meters and other costs. The program is called Charging Forward program and would also provide consumers rebates.

Energy transmission
As a condition of electric utility deregulation in Michigan, DTE Energy was forced to sell off Detroit Edison's sister subsidiary involved in high-voltage energy transmission: International Transmission Co. (ITC).

Energy distribution
Detroit Edison's near 11-gigawatt generating capacity is offered to its 7600 sqmi service area, which encompasses 13 counties in the southeastern portion of the lower peninsula. Energy is distributed via one million utility poles and 44000 mi of power lines in these Michigan counties: Huron, Tuscola, Sanilac, Saint Clair, Lapeer, Livingston, Ingham, Oakland, Macomb, Wayne, Washtenaw, Lenawee, and Monroe.

Detroit Edison's distribution line voltages are three-phase 4,800 volts (Delta) 4,800/8,320 volts (wye) and 7,620/13,200 volts (Wye). All new distribution circuits constructed after 1959 are 13,200 volts. The 8,320 volt distribution lines are located in Pontiac, Michigan in an area that was served by Consumers Power Company until the mid-1980s when the area was acquired by Detroit Edison. Edison's subtransmission line voltages are 24,000 volts and 41,600 volts.

DTE Rail Service Inc.
With the bankruptcy of the Penn Central Transportation railroad in 1970, Detroit Edison sought to continue transporting coal from the Monongahela mines in Pennsylvania to a brand new power plant in Monroe, Michigan. However, the bankruptcy of Penn Central left Detroit Edison short of motive power and under capacitated coal hoppers. Detroit Edison then chose to purchase brand new locomotives and coal cars to fit their needs. Purchasing EMD SD40's and GE U30C's for mainline motive power as well as High-Side Articulated Gondolas (with a capacity of 185,000 pounds), this new equipment allowed Detroit Edison to move more coal en masse than what Penn Central was able to do with their equipment. The trains were maintained by Detroit Edison officials but operated by Penn Central crews.

By the late 1980s or early 1990, Detroit Edison discontinued use of their equipment, as Conrail began to supply enough locomotives and rolling stock to meet the power company's needs.

Tingha, New South Wales

Tingha is a small town on the Northern Tablelands, New South Wales, Australia in Inverell Shire. Formerly part of Armidale Region, on 1 July 2019, responsibility for Tingha was transferred from Armidale Regional Council to Inverell Shire Council. The town is 30 km south of Inverell and 559 km north-north-east of Sydney. Tingha is an Aboriginal word for "flat or level".

History
Before non-indigenous settlement the area now known as Tingha was mainly lived upon by people from the Nucoorilma clan of the Gamilaroi Nation, which is an associated group of the Murri Aboriginal people. Many of their descendants still live in the surrounding area.

Tingha was first settled in 1841 by Sydney Hudson Darby and became a mining town after tin was discovered there in the 1870s. Within a year Australia's first commercial tin mines were operating at a private settlement known as Armidale Crossing. Around 5,000 people arrived and about 1000 of the miners were Chinese. The Wing Hing Long Museum is a reminder of that heritage, being established in the 1880s as a general store by Chinese storekeeper, Ah Lin. Armidale Crossing Post Office opened on 1 September 1872 and was renamed Tingha the next month.

The village was proclaimed a town in 1885. Initially there were enough readily accessible surface deposits to make a good living without using machinery as Chinese people did. The first school was established by the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1890. In the 1890s drought came to the district and the easily obtained deposits of tin were exhausted leading to a loss in population.

By the early 1900s the mining boom was over and Tingha's population had dwindled to just a few hundred people. Shortly after this, large companies moved into the area to mine the less accessible tin. Dredges were used in mining operations in the area.

The town was serviced by the Bundarra & Tingha Advocate newspaper, published in Bundarra, from 1900 to 1932. It was also serviced by the Tingha Advocate and North-Western Journal, published in Tingha, from 1916 to 1932.

Formerly part of the Guyra Shire and then the Armidale Region, on 1 July 2019, responsibility for Tingha was transferred from Armidale Regional Council to Inverell Shire Council.

Heritage listings
Tingha has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:

Triangular prism

In geometry, a triangular prism or trigonal prism is a prism with 2 triangular bases. If the edges pair with each triangle's vertex and if they are perpendicular to the base, it is a right triangular prism. A right triangular prism may be both semiregular and uniform.

The triangular prism can be used in constructing another polyhedron. Examples are some of the Johnson solids, the truncated right triangular prism, and Schönhardt polyhedron.

Properties
A triangular prism has 6 vertices, 9 edges, and 5 faces. Every prism has 2 congruent faces known as its bases, and the bases of a triangular prism are triangles. The triangle has 3 vertices, each of which pairs with another triangle's vertex, making up another 3 edges. These edges form 3 parallelograms as other faces. If the prism's edges are perpendicular to the base, the lateral faces are rectangles, and the prism is called a right triangular prism. This prism may also be considered a special case of a wedge.

If the base is equilateral and the lateral faces are square, then the right triangular prism is semiregular. A semiregular prism means that the number of its polygonal base's edges equals the number of its square faces. More generally, the triangular prism is uniform. This means that a triangular prism has regular faces and has an isogonal symmetry on vertices. The three-dimensional symmetry group of a right triangular prism is dihedral group $D_{3h}$ of order 12: the appearance is unchanged if the triangular prism is rotated one- and two- thirds of a full angle around its axis of symmetry passing through the center's base, and reflecting across a horizontal plane. The dual polyhedron of a triangular prism is a triangular bipyramid. The triangular bipyramid has the same symmetry as the triangular prism. The dihedral angle between two adjacent square faces is the internal angle of an equilateral triangle $D_{3h}$, and that between a square and a triangle is $\pi/3 = 60°$.

The volume of any prism is the product of the area of the base and the distance between the two bases. In the case of a triangular prism, its base is a triangle, so its volume can be calculated by multiplying the area of a triangle and the length of the prism: $$ \frac{bhl}{2}, $$ where $b$ is the length of one side of the triangle, $h$ is the length of an altitude drawn to that side, and $l$ is the distance between the triangular faces. In the case of a right triangular prism, where all its edges are equal in length $\pi/2 = 90°$, its volume can be calculated as the product of the equilateral triangle's area and length $l$: $$ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}l^2 \cdot l \approx 0.433l^3 $$

The triangular prism can be represented as the prism graph $l$. More generally, the prism graph $Π_{3}$ represents the $Π_{n}$-sided prism.

In construction of polyhedron
Beyond the triangular bipyramid as its dual polyhedron, many other polyhedrons are related to the triangular prism. A Johnson solid is a convex polyhedron with regular faces, and this definition is sometimes omitted uniform polyhedrons such as Archimedean solids, Catalan solids, prisms and antiprisms. There are 6 Johnson solids with their construction involving the triangular prism: elongated triangular pyramid, elongated triangular bipyramid, gyrobifastigium, augmented triangular prism, biaugmented triangular prism, and triaugmented triangular prism. The elongated triangular pyramid and the gyroelongated triangular pyramid are constructed by attaching tetrahedron onto the base of a triangular prism. The augmented triangular prism, biaugmented triangular prism, and triaugmented triangular prism are constructed by attaching equilateral square pyramids onto the square face of the prism. The gyrobifastigium is constructed by attaching two triangular prisms along one of its square faces.

A truncated triangular prism is a triangular prism constructed by truncating its part at an oblique angle. As a result, the two bases are not parallel and every height has a different edge length. If the edges connecting bases are perpendicular to one of its bases, the prism is called a truncated right triangular prism. Given that $n$ is the area of the triangular prism's base, and the three heights $A$, $h_{1}$, and $h_{2}$, its volume can be determined in the following formula: $$ \frac{A (h_1 + h_2 + h_3)}{3}.$$

Schönhardt polyhedron is another polyhedron constructed from a triangular prism with equilateral triangle bases. This way, one of its bases rotates around the prism's centerline and breaks the square faces into skew polygons. Each square face can be re-triangulated with two triangles to form a non-convex dihedral angle. As a result, the Schönhardt polyhedron cannot be triangulated by a partition into tetrahedra. It is also that the Schönhardt polyhedron has no internal diagonals. It is named after German mathematician Erich Schönhardt, who described it in 1928, although the related structure was exhibited by artist Karlis Johansons in 1921.

There are 4 uniform compounds of triangular prisms. They are compound of four triangular prisms, compound of eight triangular prisms, compound of ten triangular prisms, compound of twenty triangular prisms.

Honeycombs
There are 9 uniform honeycombs that include triangular prism cells:
 * Gyroelongated alternated cubic honeycomb, elongated alternated cubic honeycomb, gyrated triangular prismatic honeycomb, snub square prismatic honeycomb, triangular prismatic honeycomb, triangular-hexagonal prismatic honeycomb, truncated hexagonal prismatic honeycomb, rhombitriangular-hexagonal prismatic honeycomb, snub triangular-hexagonal prismatic honeycomb, elongated triangular prismatic honeycomb

Related polytopes
The triangular prism is first in a dimensional series of semiregular polytopes. Each progressive uniform polytope is constructed vertex figure of the previous polytope. Thorold Gosset identified this series in 1900 as containing all regular polytope facets, containing all simplexes and orthoplexes (equilateral triangles and squares in the case of the triangular prism). In Coxeter's notation the triangular prism is given the symbol −121.

Four dimensional space
The triangular prism exists as cells of a number of four-dimensional uniform 4-polytopes, including:

Gabriel Zwilling

Gabriel Zwilling, also known as Gabriel Didymus (c. 1487 – 1 May 1558), was a German Lutheran and Protestant Reformer born near Annaberg, Electorate of Saxony. He was educated in Wittenberg and Erfurt. He, like Martin Luther, was a member of the Augustinian order, which he left in 1521.

Zwilling became prominent in the Wittenberg Movement in mid-1521, when Luther was secured in the Wartburg after the Diet of Worms. Along with Andreas Karlstadt, Zwilling guided the Wittenberg movement in a more radical direction. In January 1522 he participated in iconoclasm in Wittenberg.

When Luther returned to Wittenberg and regained control in March 1522, Zwilling publicly admitted his errors, and gave his support to Luther's more conservative vision of reform. He became a prediger (“preacher”) in Altenburg in 1522, and moved to Torgau in 1523 where he became successively prediger, pastor (1525), and superintendent (1529). He married the widow of the former councilor and chancellor of Frederick III, Hieronymus Rudelauf (about 1450–1523) from Frankenberg. The couple had a son, Paul Zwilling (1547–81). He was removed from his final office because he opposed the Leipzig Interim of 1549. Zwilling died in Torgau.

The Contents of this Article
I can't say that I think that it is responsible to give links here to anyone with the first name Julie. The current list includes maybe ten links to people with that name, but there are undoubtedly zounds of other people with the first name Julie who deserve to be on this list. Therefore, I think it is inappropriate at best to include a list of people whose first name is/was Julie, because the list would be too too long.

My instincts tell me to delete the list of Julies, but I feel I should at least give people some time to respond... HammerHeadHuman 17:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

New Zealand Legion

The New Zealand Legion was a political organisation founded in New Zealand during the Great Depression. Its ideology was a mixture of nationalism, individualism, and social conservatism. It is sometimes considered to be a fascist (or at least crypto-fascist) group, although the group itself did not see itself in this light.

History
The New Zealand Legion was a successor to the New Zealand National Movement, which had been founded by a group of people dissatisfied with the United-Reform coalition government, who broke away soon after 1930. The group included John Ormond, a former Independent Reform candidate influenced by Albert Davy (although Davy himself did not join the Legion).

In particular, the government was accused of adopting "socialist" policies to combat the Depression, and of attempting to appease left-wingers rather than resist them. The New Zealand Legion presented itself as an alternative solution to the Depression, winning support from conservatives who believed that action was necessary but who rejected the socialist approach.

The Legion reached its height in late 1933, when it is believed to have had around 20,000 members. Much of its support came from smaller provincial towns, particularly in the Hawkes Bay area. The Legion had little in the way of organisation, however, and rarely set out any detailed programs. By the end of 1934, the Legion had dwindled away to virtually nothing.

At the 1935 local-body elections the Legion put forward candidates for local government positions in the Hutt Valley, the first occasion it had contested an election. The Legion's mayoral candidate for Lower Hutt, the incumbent Jack Andrews, was elected unopposed and a majority of Legion candidates were elected to the council. It also had candidates elected to the Wellington Hospital Board, Hutt Valley Electric Power Board and Hutt River Board. Its candidates for the Wellington Harbour Board and Eastbourne Borough Council were all defeated however. The Legion's president, Dr Campbell Begg, said he was pleased with the results.

Ideology
The New Zealand Legion used a number of themes in its campaigning. One was nationalism, with the Legion arguing for greater self-reliance (particularly from Britain) and national unity. Another was individualism — harshly critical of "state paternalism", the Legion promoted what it saw as the right of people to be free from (and if necessary, to resist) government interference in their affairs. There were also calls for greater public morality and self-sacrifice "for the sake of the country". Although the Legion was involved in politics, it did not see itself as a political party, and professed itself opposed to the party system.

Some, particularly on the left, accused the Legion of being a fascist organisation, but this is a contentious claim. In particular, the Legion's belief in individualism is pointed out as contrary to fascist principle. After the Legion's eventual demise, Campbell Begg, its one-time leader, was approached by the Nazis while on a world trip, but is reported to have found their philosophy "absurd".

Cap of maintenance

Typical of British heraldry, a cap of maintenance, known in heraldic language as a chapeau gules turned up ermine, is a ceremonial cap of crimson velvet lined with ermine, which is worn or carried by certain persons as a sign of nobility or special honour. It is worn with the high part to the fore, and the tapering tail behind. It may substitute for the torse (a twisted roll of fabric) in the heraldic achievement of a person of special honour granted the privilege by the monarch. It thus appears in such cases on top of the helm and below the crest. It does not, however, feature in the present royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, which shows the royal crest upon the royal crown, itself upon the royal helmet.

Origins
The origin of this symbol of dignity is obscure. One might speculate that the origin relates to the Old French verb maintenir – "to hold" or "to keep". The purpose of the cap was to keep a crown or coronet secure (and comfortable) on the head, thus its function was simply to "maintain" the coronet in place. The granting of the cap as an honour might refer specifically to the red velvet and/or ermine trim, distinct from a simpler design of the cap.

Royal insignia
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a cap of maintenance was granted by the pope to English Kings Henry VII and his son King Henry VIII as a mark of special privilege. A cap of maintenance is one of the insignia of the British sovereign and is carried directly before the monarch at the State Opening of Parliament. In modern times, this duty is usually performed by the Leader of the House of Lords.

Kings of the United Kingdom used to wear a cap of maintenance at their coronation, prior to the anointing, as seen most recently at the coronation of King George VI: it was worn for the journey to Westminster Abbey, for the procession inside the Abbey and then when seated in the Chair of Estate during the first part of the coronation service. Queens regnant do not wear them on such occasions, but wear instead a diadem, as in the case of Queen Elizabeth II who wore the George IV State Diadem before her coronation.

King Charles III did not wear the cap of maintenance for his coronation in 2023; he travelled bare-headed in his coach to Westminster Abbey, and stayed bare-headed until he was crowned. The cap was carried by Baroness Amos during the procession. The Crown, the Cap of Maintenance and the Sword of State are carried under escort to the Royal Gallery for the state opening of Parliament by the king.

Lining of peer's coronet
In more general terms, the velvet and ermine lining of a crown (or of the coronet of a peer) is itself sometimes called a 'cap of maintenance', and is technically a separate item from the crown itself. It may have had a purely practical origin being used to help a crown fit more firmly or to protect the head from bare metal on the crown. As peers' coronets are displayed affronté, or facing forward, the only visible parts are the front of the ermine trim and the velvet top (with a gold tassel) – the ermine tails would be invisible.

Confusion with "Muscovy hat"
Several English cities and towns refer to the use of a "cap of maintenance" as worn by a ceremonial officer, most usually a swordbearer. These are based most often on a design worn by the swordbearer of the Lord Mayor of the City of London. However, this item is called by the City of London authorities a "Muscovy hat" and is a historic reference to the medieval trade with the Baltic. In the 17th and 18th centuries, a Muscovy hat was sometimes depicted above the coat of arms of the City of London, in place of the more conventional helm and crest of a dragon's wing charged with a red cross.

The confusion as to nomenclature stems from references in early borough charters granting the right to the use of a ceremonial sword which is often mentioned in addition to the right to a cap of maintenance. However, this was intended to mean that in civic processions a cap of maintenance should be carried along with the sword (and mace), signifying that the mayor was the sovereign's representative. The correct form of use can be seen at the State Opening of Parliament, where it is carried alongside the Sword of State in front of the monarch. It would be quite improper for a commoner to wear it.

Variants
In many English towns where the privilege of a sword was granted by the Crown (for example York, Bristol, Coventry, Lincoln, Newcastle upon Tyne, Norwich, Worcester, Hereford, Exeter, and Hull ) the swordbearer wears a variant of the City of London Muscovy Hat, although some wear other sorts of eccentric headgear which they mistakenly also call a "cap of maintenance". However, the 'grant' is a grant of arms and a heraldic charge rather than an actual object.

City of York usage
The City of York claims to possess an original medieval cap of maintenance, which is kept and displayed in the Mansion House; whatever its origin, it is, in fact, a "Bycocket" or "Robin Hood" style of the cap with ermine trimmings forming into a split peak at the back and was copied from a heraldic drawing and not from a genuine cap of maintenance. Caps of this style are still worn by the York Swordbearers.

The City of York claims the grant of a cap of maintenance from the Yorkist King Richard III (1483–1485) and incorporates this into its coat of arms as a quasi-crest but reverses it so that the tail or peak faces to dexter (viewer's left), thus further compounding the confusion.

Gary Lautens

Gary Lautens (November 3, 1928 – February 1, 1992) was a Canadian humorist and newspaper columnist. He wrote for the Toronto Star from 1962 until his death in 1992.

Biography
Lautens was born on November 3, 1928, in Fort William, Ontario, to Joe and Bertha Lautens. The family relocated to Hamilton where his father, a Canadian Press employee for 50 years, was a teletype operator and mechanic servicing CP machines in the area from an office in the Hamilton Spectator. Lautens began working for the Spectator after school and in the summers when he was just 13 years old. After graduating from Central Collegiate Institute in 1946, Lautens went on to study history at McMaster University where he was the editor of the campus newspaper The Silhouette from 1948 to 1950.

On graduation Lautens joined the Spectator as a reporter in 1950. He became a sports columnist in 1954 and later served as the paper's assistant sports editor. Fans of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats once burned Lautens in effigy after he had written something unflattering about the team in the newspaper. He met his wife, Jackie, in 1957 when she was a contestant and he was a judge in the annual "Miss Tigercat" pageant. Together they had three children: Richard, Stephen and Jane. In 1962, Lautens was hired by the Star to replace Pierre Berton. At the Star, Lautens became the most widely read columnist in Canada. In 1982, Lautens was named managing editor of the Star, and successfully increased the paper's circulation and profits even in the midst of an economic recession. He held the position for two years before returning to writing his humour column. On his time as managing editor, Lautens commented: "More important than the commercial success, however, has been the stand The Star has taken on issues I personally consider important - nuclear disarmament, drunk driving, acid rain, medicare, unemployment, the rape of our natural resources."

Lautens published four books during his lifetime. He was awarded a National Newspaper Award (1963) and was a two-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour (1981 and 1984). Two further books collecting some of his most popular columns – Peace, Mrs. Packard and the Meaning of Life (1993) and The Best of Gary Lautens (1995) – were published posthumously. In addition to his newspaper writing, Lautens hosted occasional television and radio programming on CBC Television. He was staff writer for many seasons of the iconic CBC series Front Page Challenge and appeared, for two seasons, as a panelist on It's Your Choice.

His younger brother Trevor Lautens was a long-time columnist for the Vancouver Sun, his youngest son Richard Lautens is an acclaimed photojournalist for the Toronto Star and oldest son Stephen Lautens is also a noted Canadian newspaper columnist.

Death
Lautens died on February 1, 1992, after suffering a massive heart attack at his home in downtown Toronto. Upon news of Lautens' death, thousands of readers turned up at the Star offices, lining up for three days to sign books of condolence. Lincoln Alexander remarked: "He was a great guy ... So full of light, so full of humour. My close friend. His smile and humour will be sorely missed."

Following Lautens's death the Gary Lautens Memorial Scholarship was established at McMaster to assist students with high academic standing and demonstrating written journalistic skill. In 2002 Lautens family donated his papers, including correspondence, columns, scrapbooks and photographs, to McMaster University Library's William Ready Division of Archives and Research Collections. In 2016 it was announced that the archives would become home to the copy of Lautens' 1984 column "Why can't the Queen shop Honest Ed's?" that had been on display outside Toronto's iconic Honest Ed's for 31 years.

Books

 * Laughing with Lautens (1964)
 * Take My Family...Please! (1980)
 * No Sex Please...We're Married (1983)
 * How Pierre and I Saved the Civilized World (1984)
 * Peace, Mrs. Packard and the Meaning of Life (1993)
 * The Best of Gary Lautens (1995)

Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition, and Public Morals

The Methodist Episcopal Church Board of Temperance, Prohibition, and Public Morals was a major organization in the American temperance movement which led to the introduction of prohibition in 1920. It was headed for many years by Clarence True Wilson.

The Methodist Episcopal Church South had a similar agency called the Board of Temperance and Social Service, with which Bishop James Cannon, Jr. was long associated.

The success of Temperance movement would never have happened without the leadership of another Methodist, Frances Willard, leader of the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), a mighty force, with chapters located throughout the United States and beyond.

The Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals constructed the Methodist Building on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC in the 1920s to further increase its influence and lobbying power in public policy matters regarding alcoholic beverages. It was dedicated on January 16, 1924 Robert Dean McNeal, Valiant for Truth: Clarence True Wilson and Prohibition, 1992 ISBN 0-9632048-0-7 p. 47 with the famed orator and former presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan serving as a primary speaker. Located at 100 Maryland Ave NE, it faces the east side of the United States Capitol Building with the Supreme Court Building across the street to its south.

After ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution established Prohibition, the Methodist Board promoted its aggressive enforcement. It also attempted to eliminate any criticism or opposition to what many called the Noble Experiment. In 1925, it charged that vaudeville acts and comic strips were being used to dispense wet (anti-prohibition) propaganda in New York City, which it called "a foreign city, run by foreigners for foreigners according to foreign ideas." Clarence True Wilson led the way and traveled widely promoting temperance and prohibition. He and his wife often traveled with Clarence Darrow, the famed agonistic, and Darrow's wife. They found that hearing both of them debate the wisdom and merits of Prohibition drew much attention and lively crowds. After about a dozen years, and many unintended consequences, Prohibition was repealed.

In 1964 The Methodist Board of Temperance was merged with the Methodist Board of Social and Economic Relations and the Methodist Board of World Peace to create the Board of Christian Social Concerns. After the 1968 merger of The Methodist Church with the Evangelical United Brethren Church the name became The General Board of Church and Society (GBCS). A debate ensued over who would have use of the funds from leasing space in the building. Some said the 1965 trust contract required all principal and income from the trust's assets to be used exclusively for "work in the areas of temperance and alcohol problems." However, copies of the original pledge cards found at the United Methodist Archives, Drew University, indicated that the building was being built as Protestant presence on Capitol Hill.

Some United Methodists have pointed out that the General Board of Church and Society supports programs on antiwar, care for creation, human rights, racism, healthcare, economic justice, and dozens of other activities unrelated to reducing the consumption of alcohol. GBCS officials responded that they interpret the trust's language to include a variety of social causes.

The General Board of Church and Society petitioned the D.C. Superior Court to ratify its interpretation of the 1965 trust document. At trial the District of Columbia Superior Court ruled in favor of GBCS. The United Methodist Building now houses the Washington offices of a number of faith related organizations as they work in is issue based coalitions to address critical social concerns and present a common voice to congressional offices and the US administration.

Untitled
This could become a featured article with some more work. Cormaggio @ 11:39, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Context for references
Would the author(s) be able to enumerate the references (i.e. [1],[2]....[n]) and then provide a reference within the text, I am finding it difficult to use the information because I am unable to relate it to which source it belongs to in the reference material. 86.14.120.74 (talk) 16:38, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Class Project: Edit Suggestion
We're IT students from the University of South Carolina, and for a class project, we're supposed to be improving the quality of a Wikipedia article. We would like to reiterate what someone has said about enumerating the references for easier comprehension. Also, one of the sources is in another language, we think this should be removed from the list of references. Swtblisss (talk) and NGUYENJ2 (talk) 00:19, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
