Darkovice

Darkovice (Groß Darkowitz) is a municipality and village in Opava District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,400 inhabitants. It is part of the historic Hlučín Region.

Geography
Darkovice is located about 22 km east of Opava and 12 km north of Ostrava. It lies in the Opava Hilly Land. The highest point is at 286 m above sea level.

History
The first written mention of Darkovice is in a deed of Pope Innocent IV from 1250, in which it is stated that King Wenceslaus I of Bohemia donated the village to the Cistercian monastery in Velehrad. Before 1265 a new village called Žibřidovice was established near Darkovice, and the oldest pond in the region was established between them. After the death of King Ottokar II, battles for inheritance took place, and Žibřidovice ceased to exist and Darkovice was abandoned during this war.

In 1320, Darkovice became part of the Landek estate and was administered by the burgrave Přesek of Lichnov, who renewed the village. In 1517, Duke Casimir II attached Darkovice to the Hlučín estate. However, Štěpán of Vrbno split this heritage in 1568. By this act, the village fell into the possession of Karel of Vrbno as a part of the Šilheřovice estate.

Darkovice was acquired by the Jesuits from Opava in 1673. Their rule led to a series of rebellions in 1734. From 1742 the village belonged to Prussia after Empress Maria Theresa had been defeated. The corvée was abolished here in 1823, 25 years earlier than in the rest of the Kingdom of Bohemia. In 1920, Darkovice became part of the newly established Czechoslovakia.

From 1979 to 1990, the municipality was annexed to Hlučín, but since 1990 Darkovice has been an independent municipality again.

Transport
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.

Sights
A cultural monument is the set of objects belonging to the Czechoslovak border fortifications built in 1935–1938. Four such objects are located in the territory of Darkovice.

The main landmark of Darkovice is the Church of Saint Hedwig. It is a modern church built in 2005.

Scientific Working Group

Since the early 1990s, American and International forensic science laboratories and practitioners have collaborated in Scientific Working Groups (SWGs) to improve discipline practices and build consensus standards. In 2014, the SWGs are being reorganized under the NIST Organization for Scientific Area Committees (OSAC).

As of January 2012, active SWGs included the following:

 * FISWG - Facial Identification Scientific Working Group
 * SWGANTH - Forensic Anthropology
 * SWGCBRN - Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear
 * SWGDAM - DNA Analysis
 * SWGDE - Digital Evidence
 * SWGDMI - Medicolegal Death Investigation
 * SWGDOC - Questioned Documents
 * SWGDOG - Dogs and Orthogonal Detection
 * SWGDRUG - Analysis of Seized Drugs
 * SWGDVI - Disaster Victim Identification
 * SWGFAST - Latent Fingerprints
 * SWGFEX - Fire and Explosives Scenes
 * SWGGEO - Geological Materials
 * SWGGSR - Gunshot Residue
 * SWGGUN - Firearms and Toolmarks
 * SWGIBRA - Illicit Business Records
 * SWGIT - Imaging Technologies
 * SWGMAT - Materials Analysis
 * SWGSTAIN - Bloodstain Pattern Analysis
 * SWGTOX - Toxicology
 * SWGTREAD - Footwear and Tiretracks
 * SWGWILD - Wildlife Forensics

Each SWG includes scientists working within the focus field. Although a couple the above-listed SWGs have only American members, most also have international members. Federal, state or local government forensic laboratory scientists are the most common SWG members, but many SWGs also include other experts such as private laboratory scientists, academia, independent consultants, attorneys and judges.

Most SWGs have public websites with discipline-specific resources including approved and draft for comment standards, best practices guidelines and related documents.

Omicron Arietis

Omicron Arietis, Latinised from ο Arietis, is the Bayer designation for a single, blue-white-hued star in the northern constellation of Aries. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +5.78, which means it is dimly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 5.49 mas as seen from Earth, it is located roughly 590 light-years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.22 due to interstellar dust.

This is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B9 Vn. The 'n' suffix indicates that it has nebulous absorption lines in its spectrum, which are caused by the Doppler effect and rapid rotation. Indeed, it has a projected rotational velocity of 225 km/s. The star has an estimated 3.45 times the mass of the Sun and about 3.1 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating energy from its photosphere at 248 times the Sun's luminosity with an effective temperature of $−2.4$.

Maktub (band)

Maktub is a Seattle, Washington-based music group formed in the late 1990s that combines elements of hip-hop, rhythm and blues, soul, and funk, with a sprinkling of jazz and rock.

History
Maktub was formed in 1996 when Davis Martin called Reggie Watts, a student at the Cornish College of the Arts at the time, to come jam with Kevin Goldman, Alex Veley, and himself. After only 5 minutes of jamming, the band hit it off, and by day's end wrote their first song. After realizing their potential, the four planned to commit to each other, calling themselves "Maktub". According to their website, Maktub is an Arabic word that Reggie got from Paulo Coelho's novel The Alchemist, which translates to, "it is written", or, "destiny".

In August 1999, they released their first album, Subtle Ways. There was an immediate response as the album hit number one on KCMU and later on the soul and urban charts at MP3.com and earned them "Best R&B Album" at the Northwest Music Awards". After they released the album, Alex Veley decided to leave the group to pursue other projects.

In 2000, the group added a new sound to their music by recruiting Thaddeus Turner on guitar and Daniel Spils as their new keyboard player. With the new members of the band, they began recording demos with a handheld MiniDisc and small button microphone.

In 2001 they recorded Khronos in only two weeks, and it was first released a year later. In 2003, after selling more than 20,000 copies, Velour Music in New York City took notice of their success and re-released Khronos nationally. With this new national recognition, they embarked on a six-month tour in the same year, traveling all around the United States. Upon their return to Seattle, they begin to write new songs and record new demos, most of which are done with their minidisc recorder and single button microphone.

In 2004, they recorded their third album, Say What You Mean. The album was released in April 2005 and was followed by a three-month tour around the continental United States.

2007 saw the anticipated release of Start It Over. This album marked a new trend in the band's deeper interaction with its followers. It was funded by the members of their fan club, M.A.R.C. 7.

Perspective Section
This section comes off as incredibly biased, and mostly repeats what is already in the Criticism section. I propose that we delete it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.29.93.56 (talk) 07:34, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Request for help
I created the This Is Your Brain On Drugs article. I have been unable to confirm which year the version of that ad with Rachael Leigh Cook was broadcast. Can someone please take the trouble to find this out. The only source I can find on the matter said 1998 - which I put in the article - but I have a strong feeling this is incorrect. Thanks, Aaron Jethro

Specific Commercials
It's cool that this article mentioned the "This Is Your Brain on Drugs" commercial, since that one is the most famous. However, perhaps I'm asking too much, but I'd really like to see a detailed list of all the PDFA commercials. It would just be interesting to have a log of even more of the famous and not-quite-so-famous ones.

For instance, there was one PDFA ad I remember from being a child that really scared me. It was a slideshow of the most famous people who died of drug overdoses, including Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison. I just remember that clicking sound the slideshow machine made. It still gives me chills to this day, yet I'm eager to find it. However, I've looked on YouTube, but I can't locate it. It would at least be nice to know when this commercial and others went into production, and what the general gist of it was. I could try my best to get started on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Burkemancometh (talk • contribs) 00:28, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:François Villon

Sexuality
Why is Villon's homosexuality not mentioned in the article? I know that some people find this sort of things strangely irrelevant when it is otherwise perfectly acceptable to mention the wifes and children of heterosexual authors but in this case, his preferences actually explicitly informed his work since he wrote some very explicit poems. --91.106.217.223 (talk) 23:21, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The generally accepted view in Villon scholarship is that he was not homosexual. As with many historical figures, there is a small school of criticism which is determined to find evidence of homosexuality in Villon's writing -- for example, Lepage (1986) wonders if the occasional mockery of homosexuals in Villon's poetry is evidence of (I paraphrase) Villon "protesting too much." However, as far as I can tell, this is a minority view at best. I'm not sure which poems you're identifying as "explicitly" homosexual, but Villon's poetry is repeatedly explicit about his heterosexual relationships -- for example, his famous "damoiselle au nez tortu", etc. etc. etc. Best, -- Docether (talk) 16:11, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Looks like someone was out to make a point, with a portmanteau footnote citing eight separate references (broken out in the quote below) but Docether appears to be correct about generally accepted view on this, so I've removed the section speculating about his possible homosexuality from the article, because it doesn't appear to rise even to the level of a controversy, but merely a small minority opinion.

 Some scholars have also speculated whether Villon may have been homosexual, but there is no definitive evidence to resolve the question. It is certain that he corresponded with Charles, duc d'Orléans at least once (in 1457) and it is likely that he resided for some period at that prince's court at Château Blois. He had also something to do with another prince of the blood, Jean of Bourbon, and he may have visited Poitou, Dauphiné, and other places, if we accept the places named in his poems to record his actual travels.
 * Mathglot (talk) 00:04, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Linkspam?
The link http://www.biblioweb.org/-VILLON-Francois-.html is described as "Biography, Bibliography, Analysis, Plot overview (in French)" but all that I see there is a rather brief, mainly biographical, piece and more than a few commercial links. Is there any reason not to delete this as linkspam? Or am I missing something? -- Jmabel | Talk 01:45, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Woodcut of Francois Villon
The woodcut on this page has a caption that may be misleading. Though the original context (the 1489 printing of the Grand Testament) may have represented this woodcut as a portrait of Villon, the woodcut itself is actually a stock illustration used by a number of printers of the time to represent many different people (D. B. Wyndham Lewis notes that it was also used for Virgil, among others). In fact, no portrait of Villon survives to the current day. Any thoughts on how to best represent this? docether | Talk 02:11, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've recaptioned it, see what you think. -- Jmabel | Talk 03:02, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
 * The new caption is quite a bit clearer, thanks. Perhaps we should add a small section on contemporary and / or fictional representations of Villon. For example, Rabelais clearly modelled the character of Panurge on Villon, and a number of other writers have used Villon, more or less accurately, as a fictional character. Docether 17:08, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

The Bishop's Prison of Meung-Sur-Loire
I'd like to get opinions on this: should the description of the Bishop's prison be expanded? I visited the bishop's palace at Meung-Sur-Loire and the conditions of Villon's captivity were rather different from what one thinks of as a prison, even a medieval prison. It was a hole in the ground with a circular ledge about ten feet beneath the surface. Beyond that ledge the hole went about thirty feet deep. Once a day the bishop's servants would lower a single piece of bread to the upper ledge, no matter how many people were captive. The Church didn't kill anyone but the design of this place invited them to kill each other. It was remarkable that Villon survived long enough to be pardoned. Both the hole-in-the-ground "prison" and the torture chambers beneath the bishop's palace still survive. Durova 17:38, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Sounds worth a mention to me. A citation would be good. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:22, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Hooray for primary sources! Does the prison have a formal name? I'd suggest creating a page about the prison itself and linking to it from Villon's page. I notice that Meung-sur-Loire has a stub page, as well. Docether 14:27, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * FWIW: Such a prison cell is known as an oubliette. 121.45.161.228 (talk) 09:46, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

1463 Banishment and Disappearance
Generally, the primary sources for Villon's biography are either court documents or his own testimony from his works (the latter only being published well after his assumed death). The last known document to record any aspect of Villon's life is the record of his banishment from the city of Paris. After this point, there is no other record of his travels. Most importantly, there is no record of his death. Thus, he can fairly be said to have disappeared, and I've re-added the link to "List of people who have disappeared". Docether 18:06, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Using your criterion, 99.9% of the people in the Middle Ages have "disappeared." There should be some evidence of a person's disappearance, rather than a lack of information. Clarityfiend 05:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, this mischaracterizes the criteria for the List of people who have disappeared. By its description, this is a list of people "who have mysteriously disappeared, whose death is not substantiated, whose remains have not been recovered, or whose whereabouts are unknown and who may be presumed deceased." Though undoubtedly this applies to a great number of people throughout history, the general Wikipedia rule of notability applies here -- either a. the inherent notability of the subject prior to his or her disappearance, or b. the notability of the disappearance itself (ie, cases in which an otherwise unremarkable subject is made notable by the public interest in their disappearance). With regards to a., Villion was notable to his contemporaries and continues to be a subject of current research. His remains were never recovered, nor is there any record of his travels after his banishment. He is a notable figure who fits the requirements for the "list of people who have disappeared." B. is also satisfied, by the amount of research that has been conducted into Villon's (otherwise fairly well-documented) life by his various biographers, and their surprise and interest in not finding either written records or oral traditions of his life after banishment from the city of Paris. As far as I can tell, every biography of Villon comments on his "disappearance" post-exile. His is a notable disappearance, and to say that "there should be some evidence of a person's disappearance" misconstrues the point. -- Docether 14:01, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Tennessee Williams
The following was in the references section. I have cut it. One can only presume that a fictional play that alludes to Villon was in no serious sense a reference for the the writing of the article. - 00:26, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Tennessee Williams' play The Glass Menagerie featured Villon's best-known quote as the screen legend numerous times.

Role playing references
I have removed the reference to a vampire role playing game because it is utterly irrelevant. Villon, an important poet, should not have his space, however democratic the process by which it is edited, denigrated by a reference to an infantile game. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JohnDavidBurgess (talk • contribs) 14 November 2006.
 * Well, look at you putting on airs while editing the entry on a 15th century criminal. Become famous, die, and a couple centuries later the people you hated are worshipping you. -Sammy D. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.50.17.95 (talk) 06:08, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

Hommage à Villon
Quick web search shows Greek artist Nonda existed (died recently). No idea why all caps here, no idea whether the statement about him here is true. - Jmabel | Talk 00:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Robbery of the Chapel at Collège de Navarre
The artical says he was accompanied by "student friends" but a recent French documentary says he was in the company of a notorious gang called the Shell Gang (who were organised on similar lines to the Mafia of today). They got the name from the Scallop shell they wore as a badge of membership. It was mentioned that after the pardon for "murder" his student friends could not socialise with him so he socialised with the gang in the taverns where he sang. Should the artical be altered to reflect this or do we need further sources? Wayne 14:57, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

 * The documentary should be an adequate source if you cite it clearly. And it should be indicated as disagreement, not one source superseding the other. - Jmabel | Talk 19:47, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I haven't seen the documentary mentioned, but most biographies of Villon mention that he was associated with the "Coquillards," which might in English be translated as the "Shell Gang", so that's probably what you're thinking of. During Villon's time, they were a more or less loosely organized group of various independent bands of thieves, con artists, and bandits. There was a hierarchy of membership, and even a "king" of the Coquillards. You can read a much more detailed article on the Coquillards at the French Wikipedia. Villon wrote several poems in the Coquillards' distinctive jargon -- most well-known is his "Bonne Doctrine a Ceux de Mauvaise Vie". In any case, you should probably be able to source this from any of the extant biographies of Villon. I'd recommend doing this, as the information may be more accurate and detailed.

 * In fact, Villon's companions during the burglary at the Collège de Navarre may well have been both students and Coquillards. The "coquille" or scallop shell was originally a pilgrim's emblem, the coquille de Saint-Jacques -- sort of a holy souvenir that pilgrims brought back as a token that they had completed the pilgrimage of Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle. The Coquillards of Villon's time took their name from earlier "gangs" of forgers who were so-called because they sold faked coquilles-de-Saint-Jacques. Bandits in Villon's time may have adopted the coquille to pose as (and prey on) pilgrims, but by this time the "Coquillard" appelation was much more generic, applying to everything from highwaymen to travelling actors' groups. Students were often viewed as "a bad element" at best, and criminals-in-training at worst, so Villon's companions, like Villon himself, may have been closely associated with the Coquillard gangs in Paris. The biographies of Villon that I've read tend to support this more nuanced view. Best, -- Docether 20:47, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Isn't most of the life of Villon copied from some older source? The fact that some of this is written in 19th century English should be a key giveaway. Moreover, this account has a very black-and-white viewpoint, where in most versions of Villon's life, historically the certainty of his "guilt" is not depicted as being nearly so absolute. Even Galway Kinnell (who destroys the beauty and sensitivity of earlier translations), consistently refers to the lack of certainty of Villon's involvement in many of the accusations, where here they are written as if they are fact. Could the reasons why there are no citations in the article, be because the composers of this article have taken personal liberties at writing history? Stevenmitchell 08:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

 * You're correct -- it's a bit hidden in the article, but this article includes information from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica (a public-domain source that, apparently, was used to seed a lot of "new" articles). You can check out the category named "Wikipedia articles incorporating text from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica" to see the whole list. Much of the information is not up to modern scholarship. I'd like to do a full rewrite of the article itself, probably using the much more in-depth and well-sourced article at Wikipedia France as a starting-point. In that case, I'd use my copy of Lewis's biography, which uses a great deal of primary sources (the original legal records from Villon's court cases and sentencings and so forth) and is rather fun to read, to boot. Maybe this weekend. Best, -- Docether 14:31, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Death date
I'm a little confused by the "ca. 1474" which has been in this article for a long time. The last dated document referencing Villon is his banishment from Paris on 5 Jan 1463. Unless something else has come to light, or something is not mentioned in the article, all we can really say is that he died after that date. I'm changing it for now but please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks, Antandrus (talk) 17:59, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation of name

time for writing the Le grand testament?
in the text it says:

In 1460, at the age of thirty, Villon began to compose the works which he named Le grand testament (1461–1462)

also it says

In 1461, he wrote his most famous work, the Grand Testament.

isnt that contradictory? if he started to write it in 1460 shouldnt it be:

In 1460, at the age of thirty, Villon began to compose the works which he named Le grand testament (1460–1462)

and

Between 1460 and 1462, he wrote his most famous work, the Grand Testament.

mabe im wrong, but I just try to help.

Accuracy of link
Should the link to “François Villon Ballad about the Plump Margot. French-English parallel text” make clear that the English version is not a translation? The Lawless One (talk) 22:39, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

"On this day" grammar
The "On this day" snippet says he was "banned from Paris by the Parlement after being commuted from a death sentence". That surely can't be correct grammar? It implies that he was commuted, when it was actually the sentence that was commuted. It should read "...after his death sentence was commuted". I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how to amend On This Day entries though. Perhaps someone else could do it?

Literary critics and literary historians
Seems to me we'd do well to have more discussion here of what literary critics and literary historians have said about his work over the centuries. We state here that he's a major figure in the history of French literature, which is certainly true, but we provide rather little evidence. - Jmabel | Talk 05:53, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

September of My Years

September of My Years is a 1965 studio album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released on Reprise Records in August 1965 on LP and October 1986 on CD. The orchestral arrangements are by Gordon Jenkins, their fifth album collaboration. It peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart.

In 2000 it was voted number 190 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums.

Background
Sinatra was to turn 50 years old in December 1965, and the release of this album along with A Man and His Music and Strangers in the Night marked a surge of popularity in his music.

Both September of My Years and A Man and His Music won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. CBS television cameras were rolling the night (earlier in the spring) that Sinatra recorded "It Was a Very Good Year" for the album. The edited result was included in a Walter Cronkite CBS News special (1965 SPECIAL REPORT: FRANK SINATRA), broadcast on November 16, 1965.

Sinatra's performance of "It Was a Very Good Year" won the Grammy Award for Best Vocal Performance, Male, at the Grammy Awards of 1966. Arranger Gordon Jenkins was awarded the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) for the same song.

This was the first album Sinatra and Jenkins had recorded together since 1962's All Alone. Jenkins and Sinatra would next work together on the 1973 album Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back, the 1980 album Trilogy: Past Present Future, and the 1981 album She Shot Me Down.

The album was released on CD on October 10, 1986. It was re-released and remastered on May 26, 1998, as part of the Entertainer of the Century series done together by Reprise and Capitol Records. That version is currently out of print. Concord Records reissued the album again, newly remastered on compact disc, on August 31, 2010. This version includes two bonus tracks, a live performance of "This Is All I Ask" recorded at Carnegie Hall in June 1984, and the single mix of "How Old Am I?" released in 1968.

Themes
September of My Years is a concept album exploring the "who am I" questions and perspectives that someone, particularly a man, faces upon entering middle age. For instance, in "It Was a Very Good Year," the narrator looks back upon his life at ages 17, 21, 35, and now, in his personal "September." The structure of the song, which lasts almost four and a half minutes, was highly unusual for a popular song of the time, as it exceeded most other songs of that era by more than a minute. In the process, the narrator "takes his time" to review his past relationships with a bittersweet mixture of satisfaction and regret. Similarly, in "Hello, Young Lovers," the narrator offers to young people the guidance and wisdom he has gleaned from experience. In other songs, like "The Man in the Looking Glass" and "Last Night When We Were Young," the narrator conducts an internal dialogue that reviews both the accomplishments and disappointments of his life. In addition to the lyrical content, the musical background reflects a more mature Sinatra than the Capitol recordings of the 1950s and his Reprise albums of the early 1960s. Instead of the big-band, "swing" arrangements with horn sections of those earlier songs, this LP features an orchestra with nine violinists. These strings provide a delicate interplay with the vocals, allowing the listener to easily hear and take in the lyrics.

Eli Langer

Eli Langer (born 1967 in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian visual artist. Langer rose to prominence in 1993, while 26 years old, in the Toronto art world with a solo exhibition at the Mercer Union Gallery in Toronto. The exhibition consisted of 8 paintings and 50 drawings addressing various issues of childhood sexuality. Toronto police raided the exhibition under Canada's new child pornography legislation and seized 5 paintings and 35 drawings. This event and ensuing media coverage created a national debate over the reach of law and freedom of expression.

1993 art show
A press release prior to the show opening suggests the curators knew the material could be controversial:

Langer's work focuses on the tender and often abject aspects of sexuality and intimacy. His images are largely informed by intuitive personal and social drives, exploring the phenomenon of intimacy where it exists without the compensation of social or cultural consent. In this series of paintings and drawings, Langer often boldly develops a sexual ambiguity that inadvertently addresses our cultural taboos and the formation of morality.

Langer's exhibition at the Mercer coincided with the addition of section 163.1 (the "Child Pornography" section) to the Canadian Criminal Code. That section of the Criminal Code forbids any depiction of a person under the age of 18 engaged in an explicit sexual activity or for a sexual purpose. The law makes no distinction between works of the imagination and works that are based on reality. Langer and the director of the Mercer Union Gallery were arrested by Toronto police, but ultimately the paintings were the only things put on trial.

Well-known figures of the Canadian art community participated in the trial in Langer's defence, including Michael Snow (artist), Avrom Isaacs (gallerist), Dennis Reid (former curator of the National Gallery of Canada), and Ronald Bloore (late artist). They testified that the works exhibited at the Mercer Union had "artistic merit" (a defence provided by s. 163.1 of the Criminal Code). Ultimately the works were exonerated and returned to Langer.

A witness for the Crown prosecuting the case, Ronald Bloore was no stranger to art censorship in Canada. In 1965 his wife, Toronto gallery owner Dorothy Cameron, had been charged and prosecuted in relation to an exhibition of art at her gallery and the results had been catastrophic for her. Eli Langer remembers the apparent willingness of Bloore to testify against his art as being strange, but at trial Ronald Bloore turned the leading questions of the Crown against them, citing the state censorship by the Nazis and calling Langer's artwork "marvellous." Taken aback by the trojan horse witness, the Crown called a recess. Bloore was greeted by an elated Eli Langer and his mother Pearl, and told them, "I've waited 27 years to get these bastards for what they did to my wife!" To this day Langer believes the difficulty of his trial was worth it for the poetic justice done by Ronald Bloore.

Langer's legal victory led to reinterpretation of "prior restraint" to prevent inexperienced police officers from again using an easily obtained "tele-warrant" to carry out similar raids on art exhibitions. Obtaining a warrant now requires the stricter scrutiny of experienced judges.

Current artistic career
His difficult personal experience at the centre of the media sensationalism and legal interpretations of his practice at the time did not long interrupt his interests and development as an artist. He claims that the event was a culmination of testing the boundaries of moral and creative conventions and that the event briefly made art and freedom of expression a household topic across Canada.

According to Langer, his art practice developed beyond the morality issue fight-picking he did as a younger painter and with which he exhausted his willingness for dealing with legal and moralistic entities. He adds that he moved on, seeking clarity and distance from the event and clearing the way for a "more substantive articulation of ideas and art making practice ".

He has shown painting and other works in international exhibitions none of which referred to the art or controversy of the Mercer Union show or subsequent trial.

On January 18, 2008, Langer had his third solo show at Daniel Hug Gallery in Los Angeles. Langer taught painting in both the undergraduate and graduate program at UCLA in 2009. Langer exhibited at Clint Roenisch gallery in Toronto in 2015 and continues to paint and exhibit internationally.
