Diya al-Dawla

Abu Tahir Firuzshah, better known by his laqab of Diya' al-Dawla, was the Buyid ruler of Basra during the 980s. He was the son of 'Adud al-Dawla.

History
Abu Tahir Firuzshah was the son of Adud al-Dawla and a daughter of Manadhar, who was a Justanid king. Following 'Adud al-Dawla's death in 983, his possessions were divided between his sons. Samsam al-Dawla, who was the presumed successor of 'Adud al-Dawla, took power, but Sharaf al-Dawla took advantage of his position in Kerman to invade Fars. This invasion distracted Samsam al-Dawla and gave Abu Tahir Firuzshah the ability to set up his own independent rule in Basra, where he took the title of Diya' al-Dawla.

Diya' al-Dawla, as well as another brother, Taj al-Dawla, who controlled Khuzestan, eventually decided acknowledge the authority of Fakhr al-Dawla, who ruled in Jibal. This was done in an attempt to protect themselves from the conflict between Samsam al-Dawla and Sharaf al-Dawla; Basra and Khuzestan were situated in between the possessions of the two and were therefore vulnerable. Nevertheless, after a few years Sharaf al-Dawla invaded and occupied Basra and Khuzestan, causing the two princes to flee to Fakhr al-Dawla's territory. There they found refuge in Ray. Neither of the two brothers managed to found any lasting line; consequently their role in Buyid politics was short.

Soundtrack album

A soundtrack album is any album that incorporates music directly recorded from the soundtrack of a particular feature film or television show. The first such album to be commercially released was Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the soundtrack to the film of the same name, in 1938. The first soundtrack album of a film's orchestral score was that for Alexander Korda's 1942 film Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book, composed by Miklós Rózsa.

Overview
When a feature film is released, or during and after a television series airs, an album in the form of a soundtrack is frequently released alongside it.

A soundtrack typically contains instrumentation or alternatively a film score. But it can also feature songs that were sung or performed by characters in a scene (or a cover version of a song in the media, rerecorded by a popular artist), songs that were used as intentional or unintentional background music in important scenes, songs that were heard in the closing credits, or songs for no apparent reason related to the media other than for promotion, that were included in a soundtrack. Before home video became widespread in the 1980s, many soundtrack albums would also feature snippets of dialogue, as this was one of the few ways to re-experience a film after its original release apart from television broadcasts or theatrical reissues.

Soundtracks are usually released on major record labels (just as if they were released by a musical artist), and the songs and the soundtrack itself can also be on music charts, and win musical awards.

By convention, a soundtrack record can contain any kind of music including music "inspired by" but not actually appearing in the movie; the score contains only music by the original film's composers.

Contemporaneously, a soundtrack can go against normality, (most typically used in popular culture franchises) and contains recently released or exclusive never before released original pop music selections, (some of which become high-charting records on their own, which due to being released on another franchises title, peaked because of that) and is simply used for promotional purposes for well known artists, or new or unknown artists. These soundtracks contain music not at all heard in the film/television series, and any artistic or lyrical connection is purely coincidental.

However depending on the genre of the media the soundtrack of popular songs would have a set pattern; a lighthearted romance might feature easy listening love songs, whilst a more dark thriller would compose of hard rock or urban music.

In 1908, Camille Saint-Saëns composed the first music specifically for use in a motion picture (L'assasinat du duc de Guise), and releasing recordings of songs used in films became prevalent in the 1930s. Henry Mancini, who won an Emmy Award and two Grammys for his soundtrack to Peter Gunn, was the first composer to have a widespread hit with a song from a soundtrack.

Before the 1970s, soundtracks (with a few exceptions), accompanied towards musicals, and was an album that featured vocal and instrumental, (and instrumental versions of vocal songs) musical selections performed by cast members. Or cover versions of songs sung by another artist.

After the 1970s, soundtracks started to include more diversity, and music consumers would anticipate a motion picture or television soundtrack. Many top-charting songs were featured or released on a film or television soundtrack album.

Nowadays, the term "soundtrack" sort of subsided. It now mostly commonly refers to instrumental background music used in that media. Popular songs featured in a film or television series are instead highlighted and referenced in the credits, not a part of a "soundtrack".

In advertisements or store listings, soundtrack albums are sometimes confused with original cast albums. These are albums made with the original stage cast of a musical, and are recorded by the cast either in live performance or in a studio, not transferred from a movie soundtrack.

In some cases, recorded dialogue may be incorporated into the soundtrack album. This comes in two kinds: audio clips from the movie itself (used on the albums for Pulp Fiction and Apollo 13, for example) or radio dramas that involve the characters from the movie involved in other events (example: King of Pirates, from FLCL). The unusual first soundtrack album of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, issued in 1956 in conjunction with the film's first telecast, was virtually a condensed version of the film, with enough dialogue on the album for the listener to be able to easily follow the plot, as was the first soundtrack album of the 1968 Romeo and Juliet, and the soundtrack albums of The Taming of the Shrew (1967 version), Cromwell, and Little Big Man. In the case of Patton, the bulk of the album featured the film's musical score, while the opening and final tracks featured George C. Scott's opening and closing speeches from the movie. The highly unusual soundtrack album of the 1972 mystery film Sleuth was designed as a sort of teaser, with Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine's voices heard for the first three minutes, after which the dialogue was abruptly cut off and the musical score of the film took over, forcing listeners to "see the film if they wished to know what the mystery was all about."

In a few rare instances, the complete soundtrack for a film — dialogue, music, sound effects, etc. — has been released. One notable example was a 3-LP set of the 1977 Rankin-Bass film The Hobbit. Because this particular film was produced for television, it lent itself well to the LP format: built-in commercial insert points were used to end each LP side, thus avoiding any additional editing. Another example was the above-mentioned Zeffirelli Romeo and Juliet – the movie proved so popular that two years after the film's original release, an album set of the complete soundtrack was released. Still another example was the Laurence Olivier Richard III, the soundtrack of which was released as a 3-LP album by RCA Victor in 1955.

Extra tracks
Sometimes tracks not in the movie are included in the album, especially on a CD release of the soundtrack as opposed to an LP. Some of these may be "outtakes" (songs or instrumental music recorded for use in the movie but "cut" in the final edit as released), or they may have been used in trailers but not in the movie itself. Examples include the South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut soundtrack. Two other well-known examples are the soundtrack albums to Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel and The King and I both of which include two or more songs not heard in the finished film.

Popularity in cultures
Soundtrack albums account for the bulk of the Indian music industry. Music from the Indian film industry, particularly the music of Bollywood, usually sells more than Indian pop records.

Talk:Shakespeare and Company (bookstore)

Featured In "Highlander"
I stayed there for 3.5 weeks in late September 1993 while on my way to the Czech Republic. One day, Mr. Whitman told me to take some boxes of books down to the dimly-lit cellar for storing, and I did. When I came back upstairs, Mr. Whitman rushed up to me and asked, "What did you think of those arches?" I said they were fantastic and asked him what that place had been. He whispered, "A monastery!" Anyway, does anyone know which episode of Season 3 of "Highlander" features the bookstore, and which episode in Season 4 features that 17th Century monastery (convent, actually) downstairs? Thanks. Was Kisevalter Nash? (talk) 21:22, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Untitled
There is also a bookstore by this name in Vienna, Austria. Whether or not it bears any relationship to the Paris or New York stores I don’t know.

- The Paris store is the only "original" - though it has inspired store names across the world (like the NYC chain/Vienna Store). AKeen 13:59, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Tumbleweeds
"The upstairs also serves as a makeshift dormitory for travelers, known as "tumbleweeds," who earn their keep by working in the shop for a couple of hours each day."

Where can more be found about this??? - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.200.175.23 (talk • contribs)

Permission to use the name?
The statement in the lead paragraph, that Whitman "appropriated" the name on Sylvia Beach's death, "not of her own volition," is at odds with this from Wiki's George Whitman article: "In 1962, Sylvia Beach died, willing to George Whitman a good deal of her private books and the rights to the name Shakespeare and Company." We need to determine which is right, and reconcile the two stories. 72.23.85.5 (talk) 16:47, 11 May 2008 (UTC) (Randall Lewis)

I think there is a bigger problem with this article, in that the name is a brand and despite Mr Whitman's long tenure, clearly the Sylvia Beach era during which she actively supported the publication of Joyce, is what most people believe to be the bookshop's historical importance - not as a bookshop but as Beach's platform for supporting Joyce et al. I am amazed that the article does not refer to the definitive work on the subject, Noel Riley Fitch's "Sylvia Beach and the Lost Generation". (Chris Francis) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.151.115.172 (talk) 08:55, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

 * The page needs to be rewritten a bit and expanded. Anyone can edit and add, but thanks for the suggestion on the source. I have Sylvia Beach's book of memoirs about the shop - just haven't gotten around to reading it yet and adding here. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 10:49, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Should the usage of the shop several times in the Highlander series be included? I refrained from adding anything myself because if it should, I'd need to find a source first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.144.231 (talk) 20:30, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Tea party
In 1998 my wife and I wandered in. George Whiting was sitting at the cash register. He asked if I was a writer. I said yes, (well, damn it, all former English majors are writers, but some of have not been published yet). He pulled out a key and stated that I could have the room upstairs for a week. I was crushed as I was flying home the next day. A few years later in Paris again, my wife and I walked in. Talking to the young American at the desk, we discovered that he was now in that spot upstairs. We were then invited up to the tea party. It was a bit of Alice falling down the rabbit hole, but we were going up the stairs. The tea party quite the experience. George briefly made an appearance. We were all asked to recite poetry from memory. I did. We left that night and realized we wanted to do this every time in Paris. If you are there, the tea party is Sunday afternoon about 4 pm. Ask about at the front desk. The next time, a couple of years later, we came back and there was an Englishman who gave a performance from Samuel Beckett "Malloy" about the sucking stones. He was dead on with this and it was essentially free theatre. This last time there was just before George passed away. I was asked to go in back and say hello to him, by the tea party hostess. I did. But given his condition at that time it was a brief visit. BillySteve (talk) 19:42, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Muscle dysmorphia

Example
GI Joe? Doesn't exactly seem like the best example... i would've thought more like superman, or he-man or something — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.212.158.13 (talk • contribs) 07:41, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Seems okay to me, do you remember those cartoons? Those guys looked like Arnie at Mr Olympia.  I'll add another example anyway 222.152.249.20 10:17, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

GI Joe should be replaced with Superman or Batman or other obviously more muscular fictional characters. Gi Joe even at his most musuclar was puny compaired to these other characters and I myself being a bodybuilder am a big fan of Superman and I know most other bodybuilders are also. I don't know a single person who watches GI Joe.

I also believe the whole "baggy cloths" should be changd to "smaller tighter cloths" because I believe I myself have a mild form of muscle dysmorphia and I only wear tight cloths that make my muscles look larger. Baggy cloths would make them look smaller. So wearing them wouldn't make sense.

I believe most of the symptoms listed in this article are completly false and that no one I know who obviously obsesses over their muscle size has these symptoms such as isolation or wearing baggy cloths. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.188.116.132 (talk • contribs) 17:31, 27 February 2006.

 * RE: GI Joe, I'll have to find the article, but when I read the original synopsis of the study, I remember it was more focused on the GI Joe action figures, whose muscular dimensions were shown to be completely unattainable (i.e. Bicep to waist ratio, etc). --DDG 20:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

The line that reads," muscle dysmorphia is fueled by the portrayal of overly fit characters of unattainable musculature in children's cartoons, such as G.I. Joe or Batman", is lacking. It is certainly not just cartoon characters that perpetuate the muscle man image. The Adonis Complex itself mentions a legion of other examples from all kinds of media. A mental disease such as this should also be treated with the care and attention that anorexia and bulimia are given; perhaps not as much attention (because those cases are more numerous), but simply given the same kind of care and attention. One of the posters on this thread has even admitted that he has this conditon; what kind of statement is that to make with such a self-satisfied tone? I think that right there is a good example of the delusionary state that sufferers of this condition undergo: refusing or unable to acknowlegde the severity of the problem, and dealing and discussing it in such a light, non-chalant manner. Another problem is the assertion--even though it is cited--that the problem most commonly occurs in men who are already muscular. I think this should be countered with another study that proves the opposite; I don't know of any particular studies myself, but I know many men around my age who wish to "get big" and they are all skinny. Overall, this article needs to be much better informed.

It's also POV, in my opinion - one of those "invented syndromes" that modern-day people love to obssess over, like (ahem) obsessive-compulsive disorder. I've heard muscle dysmorphia dissed by people simply looking to dump on a guy who's in good shape, same as accusing someone of narcissism or insecurity because they enjoy lifting weights and/or looking good. There's not much scientific evidence concerning muscle dysmorophia, and to me it's just a thing out-of-shape people invoke to condemn in-shape people with. Sure, there are extreme cases, as well as mild "doses". But being a raving lunatic isn't the same thing as being neurotic or o.c. I also think mention should be made of a lot of the bad journalism that's taken and run with this phrase, as though it meant something real; no, it's a "syndrome", which is latter-day medicine's catch-all for nearly anything they choose to define (and deride/derogate, hopefully to sell people on a pharmaceutical to combat it with, although I can't think of how that applies in this case).Skookum1 22:15, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I disagree. I have seen people who consider themselves below average in size when they are over 220lbs. It itself is a form of obsessive compulsive disorder(Which I also disagree with you, Is very real). It's a disorder that is usually ascribed to people who don't actually have it(Most bodybuilders) however the condition itself is very real. Wikidudeman  (talk) 16:27, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I think that all males have some severity of this "disease". I don't think that it really is a disease or syndrome, because i haven't met one guy who was fine with being skinny all his life. Everyone wants to be big. It's really just a want than anything else. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rob657 (talk • contribs) 01:16, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Prevention
Society needs to start placing more value on the intrinsic worth of the individual and less on external appearance. Once it does not take a particularly strong person to separate how they look from how they feel, dysmorphia will decrease in frequency.

I believe adding in a prevention section not only adds more information to the article, but changes the article as a whole. Instead of being discussed as a matter of course of psychology, we have to recognize that we created the disorder as a society and it is dually within our grasp to make it come to an end. Independent sources have verified the cultural contribution we've made to the disorder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samgldstn (talk • contribs) 00:20, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately it's not for Wikipedia to advocate any particular position, even in the vaguest terms by saying "Society" needs to do something, so I have undone your edit. If there are sources on this then something can be added but it needs to be more neutral and based on the sources, which should be added as references.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 01:24, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

 * As the above response indicates, this encyclopedia is not for activism in the name of public health or personal health. If authoritative, reliable sources discuss prevention, then that can be mentioned.  But until there is a sizable campaign to prevent muscle dysmorphia, there is no more to say in such a campaign.  As it is, the article is too subjective and opinionated.  Although edits after mine have added valuable information, they are generally written in the manner of a lengthy book on the topic, and the statements are extremely redundant. —  Occurring (talk) 00:29, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Visibility
Until my edit just now, the lead paragraph implied that muscle dysmorphia was unlike anorexia nervosa in being hard to spot because sufferers don't look unhealthy (paraphrasing). I've edited it to remove the implication that anorexia is obvious - both muscle dysmorphia and anorexia nervosa are mental disorders which have a substantial effect on the sufferer's life before any physical changes become extreme, or even apparent. It is unhelpful and incorrect to perpetuate the idea that you can tell someone suffers from a mental disorder by looking at them.135.245.248.77 (talk) 15:42, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The lead did not suggest that mental illness is obvious by looking at someone, and so your concern, however good, is misplaced. Nor did the lead suggest that persons experiencing anorexia nervosa immediately show obvious physical signs, or that the disorder is only physical.  The lead said something different: that the usually healthy appearance associated with muscle dysmorphia especially masks this disorder.  Underweight and malnourishment are indeed signs of anorexia nervosa.  Is normal appearance or muscular appearance a sign of muscle dysmorphia? — Occurring (talk) 00:21, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Peer review/Nicolas Sarkozy/archive1

Nicolas Sarkozy
The article was refused for FA for lack of references and lack of a criticism section illustrating the controversies surrounding N. Sarkozy. I think I've remedied both. What do you think? David.Monniaux 07:42, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

It's looking good! I think some sections ramble a bit — the text could maybe be "tightened up" a little, and maybe could be split up more. And I'm not sure we need so much background on his family? I'm also a little concerned that there's too much implied criticism outside of the criticism section — eg. use of scare quotes in "he called for a "fairer" taxation system". But overall good, and a nice insight into French politics for this Brit. ;-) I've done a little copyediting (for English grammar etc.), and extracted the in-line references to the bottom "references" section.  Hope that helps.  — Johantheghost 12:11, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The problem is how to present claims. If we say "he called for a fairer taxation system" this seems to endorse the POV that the current system is unfair and that Sarkozy's system would be fairer. "Fairer" conveys the point that we're using his expression.
 * OK, good point! — Johantheghost 15:56, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The bit about the family was prompted by the recurrent interventions of Wikipedians (Israelis, apparently) who had decided that Sarkozy was Jewish and would not stop reasserting that fact on the page. So somebody had to dig up his bio to show that, whether according to Jewish law or religious options, he is not a Jew. In addition, many people argue that Sarkozy's upbringing and family problems have contributed to his character (yes, that borders on psychoanalysis). David.Monniaux 14:53, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, there's obviously some background here I wasn't aware of; seems like you're on top of it. As I said, I think it's basically looking good. — Johantheghost 15:56, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi David! I am really happy you improved the criticism section. That's much better now. Time will tell whether this is NPOV but from my feeling I guess it is. The quotation section should be suppressed or improved. I would prefer improved! I too have the feeling the biography part should be reduced a bit. I think the most important points about him are his style, his political achievements, the criticisms and his ambition to be president: the rest could be reduced a lot. I think the English is not ready yet and you should wait a while till a native speaker copyedit it carefully. Vb 09:44, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG; 株式会社三菱UFJフィナンシャル・グループ) is a Japanese bank holding and financial services company headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan.

It is Japan's largest financial group and the world's second largest bank holding company holding around US$1.8 trillion (JP¥148 trillion) in deposits as of March 2011. The letters MUFG come from Mitsubishi and United Financial of Japan. MUFG holds assets of around US$3.1 trillion as of 2016 and is one of the "Three Great Houses" of the Mitsubishi Group, alongside Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

Background
The company was formed on 1 October 2005, with the merger of Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group (MTFG), and Osaka-based UFJ Holdings.

The core banking units of the group, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi and UFJ Bank, were merged on 1 January 2006, to form MUFG Bank. This integration was originally scheduled to take place on 1 October 2005, the same day that the parent companies were merged. However, pressure from Japan's Financial Services Agency, which wanted to ensure the smooth systems integration of the two banking giants, caused the merger of the banks to be postponed for three months. The trust banking and securities units of MTFG and UFJ were merged according to the original schedule on 1 October 2005.

History
The financial group dates back to 1880 as the Yokohama Specie Bank, later renamed to The Bank of Tokyo. Also in 1880, The Mitsubishi Bank, Ltd., was founded by former samurai Yataro Iwasaki. In 1919, the Mitsubishi Bank financed the Mitsubishi zaibatsu, most of which is today Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. After the Second World War the Mitsubishi Keiretsu was broken up under US imposed laws, and Mitsubishi Bank took on greater independence, albeit still central to the financing of the growth of the Mitsubishi group of companies.

In April 1996, The Mitsubishi Bank, Ltd., and The Bank of Tokyo, Ltd., merged. The Bank of Tokyo had been set up by the Japanese Government to act as Japan's international bank, and solely responsible for all Yen forex trading. Uniquely in Japan, with no keiretsu, Bank of Tokyo was an ideal partner for Mitsubishi Bank, complementing the latter' strong domestic franchise with a unique international footprint. Additionally, during Japan's lost decade of economic stagnation, this marriage of two relatively strong banks was seen as a positive step in cleaning up the country's moribund banking sector.

In July 2004, Japan's fourth-largest financial group UFJ Holdings offered to merge with the Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group. The merger of the two bank holding companies was completed on 1 October 2005. UFJ was created from a merger with the Toyo Trust and Banking. UFJ was accused by the government of corruption and making bad loans to the yakuza crime syndicates.

The takeover of UFJ by the Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group was challenged by the Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Group, another of Japan's large banking groups, which launched a competing takeover bid. The Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group ultimately prevailed in the fight to acquire UFJ. The battle between the two Japanese mega-banks seemed to signal an end to the clubby atmosphere that had prevailed in Japan's postwar banking industry.

The trust banking and securities units of the two groups were merged on 1 October 2005. The core banking units of MTFG and UFJ, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. and UFJ Bank, respectively, continued to operate separately until 1 January 2006, when they were merged to form MUFG Bank.

In September 2008, MUFG signed a letter of intent with Morgan Stanley to form an alliance and purchase 20% of the American firm.

In 2008 at the 2008 ALB Japan Law Awards, Mitsubishi UFJ was crowned:
 * In-House of the Year – Japan Investment Bank In-House Team of the Year
 * Deal of the Year – Debt Market Deal of the Year

In April 2011, MUFG and Morgan Stanley entered into an agreement to convert MUFG's outstanding convertible preferred stock in Morgan Stanley into Morgan Stanley stock.

Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc.
Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc. (MTFG; 株式会社三菱東京フィナンシャル・グループ) was one of Japan's largest banks ranked by assets (an estimated US$1 trillion), second only to Mizuho Holdings. On 1 October 2005, MTFG completed the acquisition of UFJ Holdings, Japan's fourth largest banking group, to form the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), the world's largest bank ranked by assets with ¥190 trillion (approximately $1.7 trillion).

MTFG was widely considered financially the strongest of Japan's large banks, with non-performing loans down to 2.9% of assets.

UFJ Holdings, Inc.
UFJ Holdings, Inc. (株式会社UFJホールディングス; kabushikigaisha UFJ hōrudingusu) was the weakest among the three major banking groups in Japan. UFJ, an abbreviation of United Financial of Japan, was formed from a merger of Sanwa Bank and Tokai Bank with the Toyo Trust & Banking Co. Ltd, a part of the Toyota Motor Corporation. At the time, it was one of the largest shareholders of Toyota. The Chairman of Toyota was a director on its board during the financial scandals and indictments of three UFJ executives. The banking crisis led to its merger, after being one of the world's greatest losing corporations, on 1 October 2005, with the Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group to form the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group.

Formed 1 April 2001, with the merger of Sanwa Bank, Tokai Bank, and Toyo Trust and Banking.

In July 2004, UFJ announced plans to merge with the Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group. The merger was completed on 1 October 2005, creating the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, the world's second biggest bank by assets at $1.7 trillion, trailing behind Citigroup with $2.4 trillion in assets.

In June 2011, MUFG took a 9.99 percent stake in Lynas Corp, an Australian rare earths developer.

Celebrity Summit

Construction
She was built in 2001 by the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in St. Nazaire, France for Celebrity Cruises.

Machinery
She is fitted with two General Electric LM2500+ gas turbines and is fitted with two Rolls-Royce Mermaid azimuthing electric pod propulsion units. These pods proved unreliable early in the ships career, however with upgrades and operational experience they are currently more reliable. She also has three bow thrusters.

Layout
As per the practice with the other ships of her class she included a remembrance in one of her restaurants to an historic early liner in the form of several panels and a bronze statue from the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique ship SS Normandie. The statue, which was named La Normandie, had been purchased by Celebrity Cruises from the Miami Beach based Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel. The statue has since been removed from the main dining room during the ship's refurbishment in March 2019.

In 2012 she was refitted at a cost of US$16 million which included the creation of extra cabins. This increased her double occupancy to 2,158 passengers and her gross tonnage to 90,940.

Celebrity Summit spent approximately three weeks in dry dock followed by time in the shipyard in March 2019 having all of her existing cabins and suites refurbished as well as the addition of 30 new cabins which will bring her total capacity to 2,218 (double occupancy).

Operation
In the summer of 2006 Summit arrived in Seward, Alaska with a humpback whale dead on her bow.

On 3 April 2010, passenger Bob Gricius fell overboard and swam for 17 hours to Cayo Lobos, 3 mi off the coast of Fajardo, Puerto Rico.

In March 2017, Celebrity Summit had an unscheduled dry dock because of a propulsion issue. One cruise was canceled and another one was shortened.

Celebrity Summit currently undertakes cruises from Bayonne, New Jersey or San Juan to destinations in Bermuda and the Caribbean. Additionally, other services on the Celebrity Summit start from Vancouver, Canada and has destinations to Seward, Alaska and San Pedro, California. Celebrity Summit has future plans to sail from Miami, Florida to destinations in Mexico and the Bahamas.

Saldae

Saldae was an important port city in the ancient Roman Empire, located at today's Béjaïa (in Kabylia, eastern Algeria). It was generally a crossroads between eastern and western segments of Northern Africa, from the time of Carthage to the end of the Byzantine Empire from the continent.

History
Saldae was first inhabited by Numidian Berbers. A minor port in Carthaginian and in early Roman times, it was a border town between Rome and Juba, located to the east of the ancient Berber kingdoms.

Roman era
It was made officially a Roman colony -named Civitas Salditana- during the reign of Roman emperor Octavianus Augustus. It is mentioned in Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historia.

The Princeton Encyclopedia of Classical Sites reports: "The Roman period has left more abundant remains. Vestiges of the ramparts are visible at several places....Of the monuments which have been preserved or noted, particularly interesting are the remains of a temple underneath the church, built on the site of a mosque. The temple was undoubtedly near the forum, whose location is indicated by the bases of statues. In the immediate vicinity the public baths have produced a large ornamental mosaic (a piece of it is on exhibit in the church). Other public baths were on the site of the Civil Hospital. Two similar mosaics were found there; they depict heads of sea god Oceanus flanked by Nereids (nymphs). One is at the Algiers Museum, the other at the town hall of Béjaïa. A third public bath was located near the high school. Cisterns and basins are still visible (indeed, still in use) at several places in the upper town. They were fed by the Toudja aqueduct, which brought water from springs located 21 km to the West....West of the middle town a rounded depression has been supposed variously to have been the site of a circus, an amphitheater, and a theater. No ancient remains are known that settle the question. A single inscription (CIL, VIII, 8938) mentions "ludi circenses".Many Roman sculptures have been found in the area around the town, some carved in the rock, some found in the ground, others as sarcophagi. A sarcophagus with strigils is at the Louvre. Few sculptures come from Saldae itself, mainly some capitals and votive stelae dedicated to Saturn."

The city grew in size with new buildings and the emperor Vespasian settled the city with many Roman veterans, increasing its population and importance in the province of Mauretania Caesariensis, and when that was divided, in the new Late Roman province of Mauretania Sitifensis.

The city was under the Roman ius (law) and its citizens were endowed with full civil rights. Saldae was a center of a Mauretania Caesariensis area fully Romanised, that in the late third century was even fully Christian.

In the 3rd century AD, Gaius Cornelius Peregrinus, a decurion (town councillor) of Saldae, was a tribunus (military tribune, a commander at cohort level) of the auxiliary garrison at Alauna Carvetiorum, in northern Britain. An altar dedicated by him was discovered shortly before 1587 in the north-west corner of the fort, where it had probably been re-used in a late-Roman building.

Vandal, Byzantine and modern era
In the 5th century, Saldae became the capital of the short-lived Vandal Kingdom of the Germanic Vandals, which lasted about a century until 533 with the Byzantine conquest, which established an African prefecture and later the Exarchate of Carthage. After the 7th-century Arab conquest, Saldae declined and had practically disappeared by the end of the first millennium. In the 11th century, it was refounded as Béjaïa (v.) by the Berber Hammadid dynasty, which made it their capital, and it became an important port and centre of culture.

Ecclesiastical history
With the spread of Christianity, Saldae became a bishopric. Its bishop Paschasius was one of the Catholic bishops whom the Arian Vandal king Huneric summoned to the Council of Carthage (484) and then exiled. Christianity survived the Arab conquest, the disappearance of the old city of Saldae, and the founding of the new city of Béjaïa. A letter of Pope Gregory VII (1073–1085) exists, addressed to clero et populo Buzee (the clergy and people of Béjaïa), in which he writes of the consecration of a bishop named Servandus for Christian north Africa.

Titular see
No longer a residential bishopric, Saldae is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see. It has had a long list of incumbents, mostly of the lowest (episcopal) rank, a few of intermediate (archiepiscopal) rank:
 * Albertus, Friars Minor (O.F.M.) (1415–1442)
 * Johannes Frey, O.F.M. (1457.08.19 – 1474.04.08)
 * Erasmus Perchinger, O.F.M. (1482.11.06 – 1483.09.26)
 * Mathias Schach, Carthusians (O. Cart.) (1495.11.19 – 1515.11.05)
 * Konrad Mair (1517.07.21 – 1522)
 * Hieronim Antoni Szeptycki (1739.07.20 – 1759.09.24)
 * Ignatius Krzyzanowski (1762.06.14 – ?)
 * Bernard-Claude Panet (Titular bishop 1806.07.12 – 1819.01.12), later Titular Archbishop (1819.01.12 – 1825.12.04)
 * Daniel O’Connell, O.E.S.A. (1834.04.25 – 1867.07.10)
 * Joseph-Henri-Jean-Marie Prud’homme (1937.01.29 – 1952.01.05)
 * Hélder Pessoa Câmara (Titular Bishop 1952.03.03 – 1955.04.02), later Titular Archbishop (1955.04.02 – 1964.03.12)
 * Titular Archbishop Henri-Martin-Félix Jenny (1965.05.15 – 1966.02.15)
 * Marie-Joseph Lemieux (1966.09.24 – 1994.03.04), later bishop and still later Archbishop
 * Sylvester Carmel Magro, O.F.M., (1997.03.10 – ...), Apostolic Vicar of Benghazi

This titular see has, confusingly, for a long time concurrently had a counterpart (also Latin) called Bugia, the Italian form of Béjaïa, the modern name of former Saldae. Thus Bugia was the alternative title borne lastly by George Hilary Brown, titular bishop from 5 June 1840 until 22 April 1842, when he became residential bishop of Liverpool.

Duke of York's Picture House, Brighton

The Duke of York's Picture House is an art house cinema in Brighton, England, which lays claim to being the oldest cinema in continuous use in Britain. According to cinema historian Allen Eyles, the cinema "deserves to be named Britain's oldest cinema".

The cinema is a Grade II listed building.

History

The Duke of York's cinema was built at the cost of £3000 by actress-manager Violet Melnotte-Wyatt. It opened on 22 September 1910 and was one of Brighton's first picture palaces and also one of the first cinemas in the world. It was built on the site of the Amber Ale Brewery, the walls of the brewery's malthouse still form the rear part of the auditorium. The architects were Clayton & Black. The building remains largely unaltered, it even retains one of its boxes in the balcony area. The original colour scheme was red and cream.

The Duke of York's was always a quality cinema for the more discerning patron, its marketing tag-line for many years was "Bring her to the Duke's, it is fit for a Duchess." The name came from the West End theatre which its first proprietor Mrs Melnotte-Wyatt was also associated with. Being slightly outside the town centre, the Duke's catered for its local audience and this has been its saving grace. While other cinemas in Brighton came and went, The Duke of York's has remained in continuous operation.

The cinema has operated as an arts cinema since 1981 and has passed through several owners and hosted illegal punk rock concerts. The cinema was in a shabby state when it was purchased in 1994 by Picturehouse Cinemas who have invested in the building and returned it to its former glory.

In December 2012, the cinema become part of the Cineworld chain, with general manager Jon Barrenechea promising it would remain an arthouse cinema. That same month, a sister venue called Dukes at Komedia was opened across town in the North Laine, above the Komedia comedy club.

In March 2015 a campaign was started with the goal of gaining official recognition of the trade union BECTU, the Broadcasting, Entertainment, Cinematograph and Theatre Union from Picturehouse. The campaign is ongoing in Brighton.

Architecture

The cinema has a single screen with 278 seats, including a luxury balcony. It originally seated over 800, but modifications have been made to the inside of the building to create the café/bar upstairs, a concession space downstairs, and to allow for greater comfort.

In 1991, a 20 ft pair of can-can dancer's legs were acquired from the recently closed Not The Moulin Rouge Theatre in Oxford, and were installed onto the outside front balcony. These were later moved to their current position on the roof during a refurbishment in 1995.

In 2007, the cinema launched an appeal to replace its leaking roof. Over £25,000 was raised from public donations, benefit concerts, benefit screenings and 'sponsor-a-seat' programme. The roof was replaced in April 2008. The balcony was remodelled at the same time to include sofas and armchairs.

Events
The Duke of York's plays host to the Brighton Film Festival each year, CineCity, organised between The Duke of York's and the University of Brighton. The cinema regularly hosts events such as fancy-dress film premieres, all night The Lord of the Rings marathons and late night cult screenings.
