 * Biographical information on Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Who brought up her daughter?
There seems to be conflicting text. Too Old 06:24, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * although it is somewhat unclear as written, the article does have accurate and non-conflicted information. Charlotte "separated" from her husband in 1890 (during this period she moved to california with her daughter), but she divorced her husband formally (and on good terms) in 1894... at this point, Charlotte sent her daughter to live with her husband (who had married charlotte's best friend, Grace Channing).  I should probably clarify this in the article and post it with a source. Jxn 00:18, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

 * In first paragraph of "Life" the word nephew was corrected to read NIECE.*****

bibliography section
I've added a bibliography section (btw, the 'career' section needs to be streamlined as a result) but I couldn't find a date for each of her novels on Project Gutenberg. Also, since she published 8 novels, 170 stories, 100 poems, and 200 non-fiction pieces in Frontrunner, it would be good to expand that list. Zigzig20s 07:58, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup
-- This article is a good start, but needs quite a lot of cleaning up. I've done some initial work in terms of wording, style, and citations, but don't know enough about Perkins Gilman yet to correct any factual problems. The language still needs quite a lot of work to get up to Wikipedia standards, and some sections (notably Critical Appreciation) clearly show the disconnected work of several authors. I've also replaced the handmade list in the References section with an actual references tag, which the page was missing despite a number of properly formatted citations. I'm not sure yet if any of the manually placed references are not included in the new list; someone may need to look into this at some point. Jlandahl 20:34, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

-- Labour Lawyer (talk) 20:35, 16 May 2009 (UTC) I'm a little concerned about a number of opinions which need to be qualified, attributed or supported. For example "In 1888, Gilman separated from her husband--a rare occurrence in the late nineteenth century, but one that was necessary for the improvement of her mental health." This appears to be a medical opinion, but that makes no sense, as such a diagnosis would clearly not have been given in that historical period. Presumably, she herself formed this view, but in that case there needs to be a reference to some documented autobiographical observation supporting this being her opinion. Labour Lawyer (talk) 20:35, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

-- "Her name is derived from two of Frederic's aunts, "Charlotte" and "Anna".[1] " Can someone please clarify how Charlotte + Anna = Charlotte? Is the Anna silent? 128.172.28.7 (talk) 20:00, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

 * No-one has provided an explanation for the question above so I will remove this part of the article. Mccarcass (talk) 14:48, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Gilman's thoughts on Darwinism
The paragraph dealing with this is unclear. I do not know enough about the subject to correct it. Mccarcass (talk) 16:01, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Chronology of Lifestory
Hi. I am just pointing out that the chronology of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's lifestory could use some reorganization to make it more sensible. As it reads now it is very confusing as she jumps from the U.S. East Coast to the Pacific then back to the East then from New York to Connecticut, seemingly grouped by topic rather than time. However, to put together a more effective chronology of this influential woman would require having access to more, if not many of the references already using in this article, with the objective of providing a clearer path of her life's progression... Best... Stevenmitchell (talk) 16:43, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Eugenics
How come there is no mention of her and eugenics? Wasn't she an advocate of eugenics to control human evolution and what she saw as an imbalance in human racial development? She is not shy about this in her writings... Is this a slight, or actually overwhelming oversight? Stevenmitchell (talk) 16:43, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Because you haven't added it yet. A search of the article's history shows that there was never a mention of eugenics in the text so it doesn't look the information was removed, but rather nobody thought to add it. One of the benefits of Wikipedia being freely editable is that editors with all sorts of knowledge can help address these gaps in coverage and biases. I wouldn't be so quick to attribute the omission to malice when it could just as well be explained by WIkipedia's systemic bias. A web search shows a lot of results for Gilman and "feminist eugenics" so it does seem to be well known. Maybe the editors who contributed to the "Social views and theories" section just didn't stumble upon it. I encourage you to utilize reliable sources and add the information yourself, even a brief subsection would provide a good place for expansion later and would suffice as a mention. Opencooper (talk) 19:42, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Section on Race
This lacks balance as it quotes selectively from the American Journal of Sociology. For example, it leaves out Gilman's critique of chattel slavery ("It is true that Race B in many ways retards the progress of Race A, and grievously offends against it; but it is also true that Race A was the original offender, and has a list of injuries to Race B, greatly outnumbering the counter list."). Also, the overall tone of the article makes me wonder if this is satire along the lines of "A Modest Proposal." I suggest revising it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hmprescott (talk • contribs) 18:34, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Seems like a good suggestion, also seems like you're the one with the knowledge to make the revision and the sources to back it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cclowe (talk • contribs) 05:05, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Death
Can someone please confirm how she killed herself. It seems excessively unlikely that someone would die of an overdose of confections. Denis (talk) 16:00, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * It was vandalized. I've reverted the changes. Opencooper (talk) 18:01, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

“.. “She wrote that she ‘chose chloroform over cancer’ and she died quickly and quietly.[19]” —She wrote about her own death? Assuming not, but do we actually know whether her death was “quick” and/or “quiet”? I’ll remove that clause if I can’t cite. Sugarbat (talk) 21:32, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

 * The whole sentence attributes the quoted portion to both a suicide note and to her autobiography, published in the same year as her death. It appears that she used the intended method. The characterization as quick and quiet presumably reflects the judgment of some third party. I can't tell who that may be. One can imagine such a statement in a preface to the autobiography, published close in time to her death. It seems likely that she made arrangements to see its publication through and that her editor or literary executor knew of the circumstances. Alternatively, the note at the sentence cites only a two volume edition of her diaries published in 1994 by an academic press, at page 813, which seems likely to be close to the end of the second volume. Such works often include additional related material as well as contextualizing scholarly essays or commentary. The citation style is confusing as note 22 both precedes and follows note 23. Both citations refer to a brief period of moving back to California after her husband's death. In between, note 23 regarding her breast cancer diagnosis refers to an intellectual biography focused on Gilman as an architectural thinker. It seems that 1934 was an annus horribilis for Gilman.

Speedy delete?
' She was a utopian feminist' not defined with source. Doubt title valid. 'and served as a role model for future generations of feminists ' Don't see how. She's unknown. 'Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story "The Yellow Wallpaper",' So she's virtually unknown and not notable. Seedy delete recommended.109.144.217.140 (talk) 18:31, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Virginia State Route 33

State Route 33 (SR 33) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia. The state highway runs 72.23 mi from U.S. Route 33 and US 250 in Richmond, Virginia east to Chesapeake Boulevard in Stingray Point. SR 33 is a state-numbered eastward extension of US 33 that connects Richmond with West Point and the Middle Peninsula, one of three large peninsulas on the west side of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. The state highway is a major thoroughfare in the downtown and East End areas of Richmond. SR 33 serves a suburban area in eastern Henrico County before running concurrently with US 60, Interstate 64 (I-64), and SR 30 east toward West Point. The state highway heads from West Point through Saluda, east of which SR 33 serves as the main highway of Middlesex County.

City of Richmond
SR 33 begins at an intersection with US 33 and US 250 (Broad Street) in the city of Richmond adjacent to the Siegel Center, the home of the Virginia Commonwealth University Rams basketball teams. Westbound SR 33 runs along two-way Harrison Street and Leigh Street to Leigh Street's intersection with Hancock Street, where eastbound SR 33 begins and US 33 has its eastern terminus. SR 33 continues southeast along four-lane undivided Leigh Street and intersects US 1 and US 301 (Belvidere Street) immediately west of the U.S. Highways' interchange with I-64 and I-95 (Richmond–Petersburg Turnpike).

SR 33 continues through the Jackson Ward along the northern edge of Downtown Richmond, where the highway passes the Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site, the Greater Richmond Convention Center, and Richmond Coliseum, in front of which Leigh Street expands to a divided boulevard and passes under 5th Street and 7th Street. In Court End, the highway passes by the Museum of the Confederacy and through the VCU Medical Center, formerly known as the Medical College of Virginia, the eastern campus of VCU.

SR 33 leaves the downtown area on the four-lane with side bicycle lanes divided Leigh Street Viaduct, officially marked as the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Bridge, which passes over I-95, US 360, and CSX's Richmond Terminal Subdivision. At the east end of the viaduct, the state highway turns north onto Mosby Street. SR 33 follows the two-lane with center turn lane street to Fairmount Avenue, a two-lane street the state highway follows through the Church Hill neighborhood southeast to 25th Street. The state highway turns east onto Nine Mile Road and leaves the city of Richmond at its partial cloverleaf interchange with I-64.

Richmond to West Point
SR 33 passes through the I-64 interchange as a four-lane divided highway, then continues as a five-lane road with center turn lane toward the Henrico County suburb of Highland Springs. East of Laburnum Avenue, around which the state highway is a divided highway, SR 33 reduces to a four-lane undivided highway, then to two lanes as it curves southeast to pass through the center of the unincorporated town. The state highway expands to a five lane road again prior to its intersection with SR 156 (Airport Drive), then drops to two lanes again. In Fair Oaks, SR 33 intersects Norfolk Southern Railway's Richmond District and passes under I-64. The state highway continues through Sandston, site of the Battle of Seven Pines during the Civil War. SR 33 splits into separate roadways prior to its junction with US 60 and SR 156 (Williamsburg Road).

SR 33 continues east concurrent with US 60 and SR 156 as a four-lane divided highway through a forested area that meets I-295 at a cloverleaf interchange. SR 156 splits south onto Elko Road, east of which the U.S. and state highways become a three-lane road with center turn lane. SR 33 and US 60 become a four-lane divided highway at Bottoms Bridge, where the highways cross the Chickahominy River into New Kent County. A short distance east of the river, SR 33 turns north onto four-lane divided New Kent Highway. SR 33 turns east onto I-64 at their partial cloverleaf interchange; the roadway continues northeast as SR 249. SR 33 runs concurrently with I-64 through interchanges with SR 106 (Emmaus Church Road) and SR 155 (Courthouse Road) before exiting I-64 at a trumpet interchange.

SR 33 heads northeast as Eltham Road, a four-lane divided highway that meets New Kent Highway at the hamlet of Angelview Church. New Kent Highway heads west as SR 249 and southeast as SR 30; the latter route joins SR 33. The two highways reduces to an undivided four-lane road and meet the northern end of SR 273 (Farmers Drive) in the village of Eltham. SR 33 and SR 30 cross the Pamunkey River on a high-level bascule bridge into the town of West Point. SR 33 passes through the town on 14th Street and has intersections with SR 296 (Kirby Street) and SR 298 (Lee Street) around its intersection with Main Street, where SR 30 turns north to become the main north–south highway of King William County. SR 33 leaves the town by crossing the Mattaponi River on a high-level fixed bridge.

West Point to Stingray Point
SR 33 becomes a divided highway again in Mattaponi just east of the river, then passes through Snow Hill and Shacklefords, where the highway becomes concurrent with SR 14 (The Trail), the main north–south highway of King and Queen County. The two highways split at Shacklefords Fork; from there, SR 33 continues east into Gloucester County as Lewis Puller Memorial Highway, named for the decorated United States Marine Corps officer Chesty Puller. At Glenns, the state highway turns north to run concurrently with US 17 (George Washington Memorial Highway); the roadway continues east as SR 198 (Glenns Road). The two highways cross Dragon Swamp, a tributary of the Piankatank River, into Middlesex County and diverge just south of Saluda. SR 33 runs concurrently with U.S. Route 17 Business on the two-lane Gloucester Road to the center of the unincorporated town, where the state highway turns east onto School Street.

At the east end of Saluda, SR 33 expands to a four-lane divided highway yet again and meets the southern end of SR 227 (Urbanna Road) at Cooks Corner. Just east of its intersection with SR 3 (Greys Point Road) in the community of Topping, SR 33 reduces to two lanes for the remainder of its course. SR 33 and SR 3 head southeast together to their split in Hartfield. SR 33 continues east through Deltaville to the eastern end of the peninsula between the Rappahannock and Piankatank Rivers at Stingray Point. At Pocahontas Avenue, SR 33 makes a right-angle turn southeast along a narrow road to its terminus at Chesapeake Boulevard on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay.

History
SR 33 was part of State Route 4, which continued west along U.S. Route 33, until early 1938.

Stingray Point, Virginia

Stingray Point is a small community on the Chesapeake Bay near the village of Deltaville in Middlesex County, Virginia. It is located at the eastern terminus of State Route 33. It is populated by fewer than 250 full-time residents; however, during summer months that population surges as tourists and vacationers flock to Deltaville for recreation on the bay. Most of the houses on Stingray Point are cottages and weekend homes. Stingray Point is also home to Stingray Point Marina, one of the Deltaville area's many marinas.

Stingray Point gets its name from the 17th century when Captain John Smith was stung while fishing with his men off a shoal near the point by a stingray, either an Atlantic stingray, a Cownose ray, or a Dasyatis sp. Smith was seriously injured by the sting, and even gave orders to his men as to the disposal of his body should he perish. Treated with hot compresses, he recovered well enough by evening that he dined on the ray. Local legend records that he was saved by a mudpack derived from mud found at a nearby creek and administered by a native medicine man; the creek has since been known as Antipoison Creek.

R-410A

R-410A is a refrigerant used in air conditioning and heat pump applications. It is a zeotropic but near-azeotropic mixture of difluoromethane (CH2F2, called R-32) and pentafluoroethane (CHF2CF3, called R-125). R-410A is sold under the trademarked names AZ-20, EcoFluor R410, Forane 410A, Genetron R410A, Puron, and Suva 410A.

On December 27, 2020, the United States Congress passed the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act, which directs US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to phase down production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). The AIM act was passed because HFCs have high global warming potential. Rules developed under the AIM Act require HFC production and consumption to be reduced by 85% from 2022 to 2036. R-410A will be restricted by this Act because it contains the HFC R-125. Other refrigerants with lower global warming potential will replace R-410A in most applications, just as R-410A replaced the earlier ozone-depleting refrigerant, R-22.

History
R-410A was invented and patented by Allied Signal (now Honeywell) in 1991. Other producers around the world have been licensed to manufacture and sell R-410A. R-410A was successfully commercialized in the air conditioning segment by a combined effort of Carrier Corporation, Emerson Climate Technologies, Inc., Copeland Scroll Compressors (a division of Emerson Electric Company), and Allied Signal. Carrier Corporation was the first company to introduce an R-410A-based residential air conditioning unit into the market in 1996 and holds the trademark "Puron".

Transition from R-22 to R-410A
In accordance with terms and agreement reached in the Montreal Protocol (The Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer), the United States Environmental Protection Agency mandated that production or import of R-22 along with other hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) be phased out in the United States. In the EU and the US, R-22 could not be used in the manufacture of new air conditioning or similar units after 1 January 2010. In other parts of the world, the phase-out date varied from country to country. Since 1 January 2020, the production and importation of R-22 has been banned in the US; the only available sources of R-22 include that which has been stockpiled or recovered from existing devices.

By 2020, most newly manufactured window air conditioners and mini split air conditioners in the United States used refrigerant R-410A. Further, R-410A had largely replaced R-22 as the preferred refrigerant for use in residential and commercial air conditioners in Japan and Europe, as well as the United States.

Environmental effects
Unlike alkyl halide refrigerants that contain bromine or chlorine, R-410A (which contains only fluorine) does not contribute to ozone depletion and therefore became more widely used as ozone-depleting refrigerants like R-22 were phased out. However, like methane, R-410A has a global warming potential (GWP) that is appreciably worse than CO2 (GWP = 1) for the time it persists. R-410A is a mixture of 50% HFC-32 and 50% HFC-125. HFC-32 has a 4.9 year lifetime and a 100-year GWP of 675 and HFC-125 has a 29-year lifetime and a 100-year GWP of 3500. The combination has an effective GWP of 2088, higher than that of R-22 (100-year GWP = 1810), and an atmospheric lifetime of nearly 30 years compared with the 12-year lifetime of R-22.

Since R-410A allows for higher SEER ratings than an R-22 system by reducing power consumption, the overall impact on global warming of R-410A systems can, in some cases, be lower than that of R-22 systems due to reduced greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. This assumes that the atmospheric leakage will be sufficiently managed. Under the assumption that preventing ozone depletion is more important in the short term than GWP reduction, R-410A is preferable to R-22.

R-410A Phaseout
The phase-down mandated by the AIM Act will lead to R-410A's replacement by other refrigerants beginning in 2022. Alternative refrigerants are available, including hydrofluoroolefins, R-454B (a zeotropic blend of R-32 and R-1234yf), hydrocarbons (such as propane R-290 and isobutane R-600A), and even carbon dioxide (R-744, GWP = 1). The alternative refrigerants have much lower global warming potential than R-410A. Some alternatives have mild or moderate flammability, operate in higher pressure ranges, or require specialized compressor lubricants and seals.

Physical properties
R-410A is an A1 class non-flammable substance according to ISO 817 & ASHRAE 34. One of its components, R-32, is mildly flammable (AL2), and the other, R-125, is an A1 class substance that suppresses the flammability of R32.

Thermophysical properties - Properties of refrigerant R410a

Precautions
R-410A cannot be used in R-22 service equipment because of higher operating pressures (approximately 40 to 70% higher). Parts designed specifically for R-410A must be used. R-410A systems thus require service personnel to use different tools, equipment, safety standards, and techniques to manage the higher pressure. Equipment manufacturers were aware of these differences and required the certification of professionals installing R-410A systems. In addition, the AC&R Safety Coalition was created to help educate professionals about R-410A systems.

R-410A cylinders were once colored rose, but they now bear a standard light gray color.

While R-410A has negligible fractionation potential, it cannot be ignored when charging.

Philly (TV series)

Philly is an American legal drama television series created by Steven Bochco and Alison Cross, which starred Kim Delaney as defense attorney Kathleen Maguire. The series aired on ABC from September 25, 2001 to May 28, 2002, broadcasting 22 episodes before it was canceled due to low ratings.

Overview
Kathleen Maguire is a single mother and partner in a small Philadelphia law firm with Will Froman (Tom Everett Scott). She fights to get her clients out of trouble and deals with professional conflicts arising from her relationship with her ex-husband Dan Cavanaugh (Kyle Secor), the Deputy for Trials. She also starts to date Judge Augustus "Jack" Ripley (James Denton).

Cast

 * Kim Delaney as Kathleen Maguire, a frank, driven attorney and single mother forced to take on her firm after only a year of practice after her partner has a mental breakdown in court.
 * Tom Everett Scott as Will Froman, Kathleen's womanizing law partner
 * Rick Hoffman as Terry Loomis, an ADA whom Kathleen regularly goes up against, and whom she has formed a frenemy relationship with.
 * Diana-Maria Riva as Trish, Kathleen's secretary
 * Scotty Leavenworth as Patrick Cavanaugh, Kathleen's young son.
 * Kyle Secor as Daniel Cavanaugh, Kathleen's ex-husband, a deputy who is bitter about her leaving him.

Recurring

 * Robert Harper as Judge Irwin Hawes, a slimy, abrasive judge who has frequent run-ins with Kathleen.
 * Dena Dietrich as Judge Ellen Armstrong
 * James Denton as Judge Augustus "Jack" Ripley, a judge who Kathleen becomes romantically involved with.
 * Kristanna Loken as Lisa Walensky, an ADA who has an on-again, off-again relationship with Will.
 * Veronica Hamel as Judge Marjorie Brennan, the mistress of Will's father, whom Will himself gets involved with.
 * Monique Edwards as ADA Teena Davis
 * Anne Gee Byrd as Annie Maguire

Notable Guest Stars

 * Joanna Cassidy as Marian Marshall, Kathleen's law partner, who she is forced to take over for after a mental breakdown in the middle of a trial.
 * Pauley Perrette as Angela
 * Dean Norris as Detective Duffy
 * James Avery as Dean Mark Clivner
 * Sharon Lawrence as Tabitha Davenport, a madam whose client list includes Judge Hawes. Lawrence had previously co-starred with Delaney on NYPD Blue.
 * Zachery Ty Bryan as Brian Lee
 * Judd Hirsch as Rabbi Nathan Wexler
 * Red Buttons as Murray Klopman

Production
As Stephen Bochco had been developing a legal series, he was beginning to become weary of NYPD Blue. Feeling she was underutilized on the show, Bocho offered the lead role to cast member Delaney, who accepted. In March 2001, Scott and Hoffman were cast beside Delaney. ABC ordered the pilot to series in May, and Delaney officially departed NYPD Blue. Based on strong ratings, ABC ordered a full season in November. However, ratings declined over the season, and ABC officially canceled the series at its annual upfronts in May 2002.

Broadcast
The complete series has not been released on DVD by CBS DVD, but is for purchase to stream by episode or the entire season on Amazon Prime. The series briefly aired in syndication on Universal HD in 2008.

Reception
The series received mixed reviews from critics. Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly gave the series a grade of "C", stating that the show "is like biting into a cold, stale version of the city's famous cheese steak — it gives you a lot to chew on, but it's pretty greasy, gummy fare." Phil Gallo at Variety gave a lukewarm review of the series, positively reviewing Delaney, but noting the show "lacked a distinctive tone".

Talk:Schleicher's fable

Laryngeals
This text should be written using the notation for laryngeals that is used in the Proto Indo-European language article. --Saforrest 13:57, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * That would be misrepresenting the work and theories of the authors. Feel free to add a third version, with laryngeals. That is the very purpose of the text after all, to illustrate a theory of how PIE could have looked. We won't really know the correct form until we have time travel anyway. And last I heard, laryngeal theory was falling out of favor, besides wikipedia is to have NPOV. --Kaleissin 19:34, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Falling out of favour?!?! What in the world are you talking about? Now that Szemerenyi is dead, there's not a serious IEist around who doesn't believe in laryngeals. The only matter of argument now is how many there were, and the vast majority of IEist have settled on 3. You must be thinking of glottalic theory, which was big in the 1980s but is now considered passe. CRCulver 04:12, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * indeed. Laryngeals are now accepted enough to go without mention. Everybody assumes at least one or two, most people have settled on three, and some on four. At least the "Hittite" one, h2 is as unspectacular as English h. Even Szemerenyi accepted that, I think he was mostly being polemical about the term "laryngeal" which is indeed a misnomer. dab (ᛏ) 09:30, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Schleicher's fable in various protolanguages
I know that Schleicher's fable has following shape in:

Proto-Indo-European with laryngeals:

H3ou̯is h1éku̯o(s)es-kwe. H3ou̯is, kwesi̯o u̯l̥Hneh2 ne h1est, h1éku̯oms spekét, h1óinom gwr̥h3um wóghom wéghontm̥, h1óinom-kwe mégeh2m bhórom, h1óinom-kwe dhHghmónm̥ h1oh1ku bhérontm̥. H3owis nu h1éku̯obhi̯os u̯eu̯kwét: kerd h2éghnutoi h₁moí h1éku̯oms h2égontm̥ wiHrom wídn̥tei. H1éku̯o(s)es tu u̯eu̯kwónt: Klúdhi, h3ówi! kerd h2éghnutoi nsméi wídntbhi̯os: H2ner, pótis, h3ou̯i̯om-r̥ u̯l̥Hneh2m̥ su̯ébhi gwhermóm u̯éstrom kwrnéuti. Neghi h3ou̯i̯om u̯l̥Hneh2 h1ésti. Tod kékluu̯os h3ou̯is h2égrom bhugét.

Proto-Indo-European without laryngeals:

Ówis ékwōs-kwe. Ówis, kwésio wl̥̄nā ne est, ékwoms spekét, óinom (ghe) krum wóghom wéghontm, óinom-kwe mégām bhórom, óinom-kwe dhghmónm ṓku bhérontm. Ówis nu ékwobh(i)os wewkwét: krd ághnutoi moí, ékwoms ágontm wrom wídntei. Ékwōs tu wewkwónt: Klúdhi, ówi! krd ághnutoi nsméi wídntbh(i)os: anér, pótis, ówjom-r wĺnām sébhi khermóm wéstrom kwrnéuti. Ówjom-kwe wl̥̄nā ne ésti. Tod kékluwos ówis ágrom bhugét.

Proto-Indo-Iranian:

Avis ak’vasas-ka. Avis, jasmin varnā na āst, dadark’a ak’vans, tam, garum vāgham vaghantam, tam, magham bhāram, tam manum āku bharantam. Avis ak’vabhjas avavakat; k’ard aghnutai mai vidanti manum ak’vans ag’antam. Ak’vāsas avavakant: k’rudhi avai, kard aghnutai vividvant-svas: manus patis varnām avisāns karnauti svabhjam gharmam vastram avibhjas-ka varnā na asti. Tat k’uk’ruvants avis ag’ram abhugat.

But which shape has Schleicher's fable in:

Proto-Indo-Uralic:

Proto-Indo-Tyrrhenian:

Proto-Indo-Hittite:

Proto-Indo-Hellenic:

Proto-Indo-Slavic:

Proto-Indo-Aryan:

I got these protolanguage names and fable variants from:

http://dnghu.org/indoeuropean/indo-european.htm

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jamesdow/s076/f332917.htm

But I can't find nowhere missing fable versions relevant to missing protolanguages.

Can you provide me relevant variants of this fable or at least missing forms of Indo-European/Indo-Iranian "-s" nominative ending relevant to missing protolanguages?

I need this to compare protolanguages and improve this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleicher%27s_fable

Feel free to write these variants directly in this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleicher%27s_fable

Wikinger 12:08, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Wikinger, all these versions have authors, and you'll need to cite them. You cannot just copy reconstructed texts off the internet. dab (𒁳) 19:32, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I already added source to two versions added by me in article links, because I don't know exact format of citation tags. Wikinger 19:43, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I think you need to review WP:RS. What are you talking about? Your source is an online article hosted by dnghu.org. At least make explicit who is the author of the content you are ripping off. --dab (𒁳) 20:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Protolanguages
By the way, the terms "Indo-Uralic", "Indo-Tyrrhenian", and "Indo-Hellenic" are basically utterly meaningless... AnonMoos 21:54, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thus can you provide me these missing versions of PIE "-s" nominative ending for purpose of comparing protolanguages at least for Indo-Hittite? I simply need to know which earliest protolanguage from missing ones still has "-s" nominative ending, and how this ending differentiates between missing protolanguages. Wikinger 11:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I am sorry, you do not sound as if you had an idea what you are talking about. Let me stress once again that these "versions" have authors, which we need to cite, we cannot just "provide" more versions as if they grew on trees. dab (𒁳) 18:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Please provide me these versions with relevant citations and I will use these versions along with citations in Wikipedia, and if citations aren't deliverable, at least please provide me them for my private usage outside Wikipedia articles. As citation template, I will use citation currently used by versions from Dnghu's site, but with other authors and reference links relevant to versions provided by you. Is that possible? I simply want to know properties of these missing protolanguages at least by using their variants of PIE "-s" nominative. Which are variants of "-s" nominative relevant to other missing protolanguages? Wikinger 19:40, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you looking for something like Proto-Nostratic, or postulated intermediate stages between it and Proto-Indo-European? Has Bomhard been able to resist the temptation to take Schleicher back another millennium or two? Are you looking for proto-languages of Indo-European sub-families that have lost the -s (which I think happens late in all branches), or are you talking about postulated pre-Indo-European forms which haven't yet developed the -s? Not that I can help you either way, but possibly someone else can. Koro Neil (talk) 15:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I found some versions in http://www.wikinfo.org/index.php/Adamic_language and now I am interested how are looking pre-PIE forms of Schleicher's Fable, such as Early Proto-Indo-Hittite, Proto-Indo-Tyrrhenian and Proto-Indo-Uralic, that are earlier than PIE. Where I can find them? I need them all to improve some PIE-related wikis, including this one linked by me, and DNGHU wiki. 77.243.225.87 (talk) 16:48, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Refer to comment of "21:54, 15 October 2007" above... AnonMoos (talk) 16:56, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Remove 'various Protolanguages'
I think Wikinger's changes should be undone. The new versions added are not among those well known in Indo-European linguistics - contrary to the previous versions, which are all from important publications, or well-known researchers. Also, Wikinger did not offer any linguistic comments to these new versions, which makes them pretty useless. Any one else in favour of deleting that stuff? -- Uluboz 13:58, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

 * These versions needs to be presented, because Proto-Indo-Iranian variant and very nearly Proto-Indo-Hittite variant with laryngeals is displayed in article, along with plain Proto-Indo-European variant without laryngeals. These variants otherwise would be missing from article. I noticed that original Schleicher's variant looks nearly as Proto-Indo-Aryan language, that in turn very closely resembles Proto-Indo-Iranian language. Wikinger 17:10, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I think the article should be copied to wikisource with as many versions as there exist, I saw one version in Proto-Indoiranian. The current article could however limit itself to the most accepted versions and then Proto-Indoeuropean only. Rursus dixit. ( m bork3 !) 13:08, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Is there any source where they try to pronounce the text? --77.181.247.48 (talk) 17:42, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * animated version and in the movie Prometheus--88.73.14.65 (talk) 17:54, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Sections
There definitively is something wrong with the width of the example sections. Probably this has to do with the PIE template. Could someone take a look at it? --OosWesThoesBes (talk) 18:46, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

THis part is highly confusing in the article? I mean how could anyone seriously propose this text, even 150 years ago? It has zero letter E in it, even though E is by far the most common sound made by humans, not merely by choice but due to bio-physiology! 79.120.172.118 (talk) 19:43, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

 * PIE was originally based a bit too heavily on Sanskrit. It was believed that, like Sanskrit, PIE didn't have a short e or o sound, only as long vowels. Later it was discovered that PIE did have e and o, and they had simply collapsed into a in Sanskrit. It'sMeCarsonCole (talk) 13:02, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Comparing versions
The various linguists seem to use different conventions for phonetic transcription. Sure, I realise that IPA evolves, but comparing those versions that appear to use the same character sets (viz., H. Craig Melcher and Andrew Byrd), the divergences are of a sort that makes me question whether they are a matter of style, rather than having substantive consequences for the way they might be vocalised: Is it at all realistic to fish for capable editors who might upload recitations of the various versions? --Patronanejo (talk) 19:33, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

purpose of this image in the article?
In many cases, such as "wóĝhom" and "u̯óǵʰom", the reconstruction is exactly the same, but only the notation is different. I don't see what this image adds to the article... AnonMoos (talk) 23:35, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

 * I expanded the note in the article on notational differences, and removed the image.  That image is interesting for talk-page discussions, but isn't much use on the article itself.  As for audio recordings, I happen to know that there are recordings of people reading "Beowulf" and the prologue to Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" while attempting the original pronunciations, but those are actual written texts.  Schleicher's fable involves a whole extra level of hypotheticality.  For example, most Proto-Indo-European reconstructions now posit multiple laryngeals, but there isn't much information as to how the different reconstructed laryngeals would have been pronounced, while the glottalic theory claims that that some of the stop consonants in the standard reconstruction of PIE are wrong, etc... AnonMoos (talk) 19:14, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Technical issue (tofu characters)
Hi all! When reading this on my phone, I noticed that I see some tofu characters instead of the correct characters. Specifically, I see some tofu in Adams (1997), Lühr (2018), Melchert (2009, revisited 2014) and Byrd (2013). I don't see any tofu in any of the other versions. Does anyone know what might be causing the tofu specifically in these versions, and how I could fix them? (And if my description of the problem isn't detailed enough, let me know what other info would help to figure out what the problem is. I'm not very good with tech stuff) If so, it might also be helpful to put some technical info at the start of the page, to let people know what they need to do for everything to render correctly. Thanks for reading! JonathanHopeThisIsUnique (talk) 17:17, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Edward Tennant, 1st Baron Glenconner

Edward Priaulx Tennant, 1st Baron Glenconner (31 May 1859 – 21 November 1920), known as Sir Edward Tennant, 2nd Baronet, from 1906 to 1911, was a Scottish businessman and Liberal politician. In 1911 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Glenconner.

Origins
He was born on 31 May 1859, the eldest surviving son and heir of Sir Charles Tennant, 1st Baronet (d. 1906). His brother was Harold Tennant, and his sister Margot Tennant was the wife of Prime Minister H. H. Asquith. His niece was Elizabeth Bibesco and his nephew Anthony Asquith.

Career
Educated at Eton College and at Trinity College, Cambridge, Tennant travelled extensively in Africa, India, and America, and was Assistant Private Secretary to Sir George Otto Trevelyan, Secretary for Scotland, from 1892 to 1895. He was unsuccessful parliamentary candidate for Partick in 1892 and for Peebles and Selkirk in 1900.

He was elected as Liberal Member of Parliament for Salisbury at the 1906 general election, holding the seat until the 1910 general election. He succeeded his father to the baronetcy in 1906, and in 1911 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Glenconner, of The Glen in the County of Peebles. Lord Glenconner was also Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914, and served as Lord Lieutenant of Peeblesshire from 1908 to 1920.

Between 1883 and 1886 he travelled in South Africa and on the American continent, later visiting India and the Far East. In 1885, he graduated as Master of Arts. (1886 in ). In 1892 he contested the Partick Division of Lanarkshire as a Liberal (unsuccessfully).

Between 1892 and 1895 he served as Private Secretary at the Scottish Office to Sir George Trevelyan, who was then Secretary for Scotland. In 1900 he contested Peebles and Selkirk (unsuccessfully), being defeated by sitting member Sir Walter Thorburn. In 1902 he toured the Far East with his wife and was present at the Delhi Durbar.

Between 1906 and 1910 he sat as MP for Salisbury, being defeated in 1910. From 1906 to 1920 he served as Lord Lieutenant of the County of Peebles. Between 1911 and 1914 he served as Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, which duty he carried out "with dignity, tact and courtesy, making him notable among the line of holders". He was a frequent worshipper at St Columba's Church, London; he read the lesson on several occasions and interested himself in congregational affairs.

Other roles

 * Chairman of the Union Bank of Scotland.
 * Director of several companies inc Mysore Gold Company.
 * President of the Scottish Modern Arts Association for a time.
 * President of the Edinburgh Sir Walter Scott Club.
 * Head of the great chemical works of Glasgow (at St Rollox), Tharsis Sulphur and Copper Company, succeeding his father. The family fortunes were laid by his father when he turned to weaving and bleaching and became connected with the great St Rollox chemical works, at Glasgow.
 * President of the National Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis.

Personal qualities

 * "He sought neither publicity nor adulation. His spirit was abashed and fugitive rather than forward."
 * He was "always eager to extend the hand of courtesy and of pity to those in bodily or mental distress, whether in public institution or private life."
 * An extensive traveller, with great business aptitude.
 * He brought to public affairs sound judgment and quick decision.
 * He was never comfortable among party politics, never at home in either the House of Commons or Lords.
 * He exhibited upright conduct, prudent counsel
 * From his inherited riches, he was a liberal giver to public charities.
 * He took active interest in the county affairs of Peeblesshire and Wiltshire.
 * He was more of a businessman than a politician.

Philanthropy
In 1914 he presented to the Corporation of Glasgow 13 acres of land in the St Rollox district as a suitable recreation ground for that part of the city. In 1918 he presented Dryburgh Abbey to the nation to save it from private ruin, which he had bought for it is said £35,000. This act was imitated by others, resulting in Scotland within two years possessing several ancient monuments in this way.

Residences
In 1900 he purchased the estate of Wilsford near Salisbury, where he commissioned Detmar Blow to design a large mansion in the Tudor style, built in 1904–1906. In 1910 he remodelled his London house at 34 Queen Anne's Gate, including an art gallery to house his inherited art collection, and included a separate entrance for the public who were allowed to view the artworks on certain days of the week, which action was "widely appreciated and used".

Marriage and issue
In 1895 he married Pamela Wyndham, a writer and a sister of George Wyndham, by whom he had several children, including:
 * Hon. Clarissa "Clare" Madeline Georgiana Felicite Tennant (1896–1960)
 * Hon. Edward Wyndham Tennant (1897–1916), a war poet
 * Christopher Grey Tennant, 2nd Baron Glenconner (1899–1983), second and eldest surviving son and heir. His son was Colin Tennant, 3rd Baron Glenconner, who developed the Caribbean island of Mustique; his daughter was the writer Emma Tennant
 * Hon. David Pax Tennant (1902–1968), founder of the Gargoyle Club in Soho, London, who married Hermione Baddeley; his daughter was Pauline Tennant
 * Hon. Stephen James Napier Tennant (1906–1987)

Death and succession
He died on 21 November 1920, from heart failure, 10 days after an operation from which he seemed to have rallied. He was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium and his ashes were buried at Traquair, Peeblesshire. He was succeeded in the peerage by his second and eldest surviving son, the Hon. Christopher Tennant.

Peebles and Selkirk was a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (Westminster) from 1868 to 1918. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post voting system.

Boundaries
The name relates the constituency to the counties of Peebles and Selkirk.

From 1708 to 1868 the counties had been covered, at least nominally, by the Peeblesshire and Selkirkshire constituencies.

When the Peebles and Selkirk constituency was abolished in 1918, the Peebles and Southern Midlothian and Roxburgh and Selkirk constituencies were created.

Libidibia coriaria

Libidibia coriaria, synonym Caesalpinia coriaria, is a leguminous tree or large shrub native to the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, and northern and western South America. Common names include divi-divi, cascalote, guaracabuya, guatapana, nacascol, tan yong, and watapana (Aruba).

Description
L. coriaria rarely reaches its maximum height of 9 m because its growth is contorted by the trade winds that batter the exposed coastal sites where it often grows. In other environments it grows into a low dome shape with a clear sub canopy space. Leaves are bipinnate, with 5–10 pairs of pinnae, each pinna with 15–25 pairs of leaflets; the individual leaflets are 7 mm long and 2 mm broad. The fruit is a twisted pod 5 cm long.

Taxonomy
The species was first described by Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin in 1763, as Poinciana coriaria. In 1799, Carl Ludwig Willdenow transferred it to the genus Caesalpinia, and in 1830, Diederich von Schlechtendal transferred it to his newly created genus Libidibia. The genus Libidibia was not always accepted and the species was usually placed in Caesalpinia, until molecular phylogenetic studies led to the reinstatement of Libidibia.

Chemistry
Tannins are extracted from divi-divi pods for use in leather production.

Among the molecules isolated is corilagin, whose name comes from the specific epithet of the plant.

In culture
Divi-divi is the national tree of Curaçao. It is also very common and popular on Aruba.

Uses
According to the FAO's Ecocrop database, the pods provide tannin and a black dye used in the tanning industry and for ink. The pods also have medicinal properties. The hard, dark colored wood is used for carpentry. The tree can be planted for shade. Yields of pods may be 45–135 kg per tree per year.

Konstantin Yuon

Konstantin Fyodorovich Yuon or Juon (Константи́н Фёдорович Юо́н; October 24 1875 – April 11, 1958) was a noted Russian painter and theatre designer associated with the Mir Iskusstva. Later, he co-founded the Union of Russian Artists and the Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia.

Biography
Yuon was born in Moscow to the family of a banking clerk of Swiss-Russian origin (the surname Juon being of Walser origin ). His brother Paul Juon was a notable composer.

From 1892 to 1898 he studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture where Konstantin Savitsky and Konstantin Korovin were among his distinguished teachers. After graduating from the Moscow Art School he took private lessons from Valentin Serov (1898–1900). During several trips to Western Europe, particularly in Paris, he became acquainted with the cityscapes of Camille Pissarro and other Impressionists, but retained his own distinctive style.

In 1900 he opened the first private painting and drawing school in Moscow. Some noted Russian painters received art education in the school (for example, Olga Zhekulina). Later he taught in Leningrad Academy of Arts and the Surikov Art Institute in Moscow. His studio in Moscow was widely used by other painters. He designed sets for plays at the Moscow Art Theatre and the Maly Theater, becoming the official designer for this theater from 1945 to 1947. He also contributed sets for operas.

In the Soviet era, Yuon was the director of the Research Institute of the Academy of Arts (1948–1950) and the First Secretary of the Union of Soviet Artists (1956–1958). He won a Stalin Prize (1943), received the Order of Lenin and other orders and medals. He died in Moscow on April 11, 1958.

Selected works
Konstantin Yuon started as an Impressionist landscape and genre painter with a Symbolist note. Among the impressionist landscapes are To the Trinity (1903) and Tverskoy Boulevard (1909). Later he toyed with the ideas of lyrical landscape mixed with the imitations of Palekh miniature and Icon arts. The most Symbolist of his works are the cycle of engravings Creation of the World on the theme of Genesis (1908–1912) and the painting New Planet that shows the October Revolution as the result of a cosmic catastrophe. To the end of his life he became a strict socialist realism artist, producing paintings like Parade on the Red Square on November 7, 1941.

Aloidendron dichotomum

Aloidendron dichotomum, formerly Aloe dichotoma, the quiver tree or kokerboom, is a tall, branching species of succulent plant, indigenous to Southern Africa, specifically in the Northern Cape province of South Africa, and parts of Southern Namibia.

Naming
Known as choje to the indigenous San people, the quiver tree gets its English common name from the San people practice of hollowing out the tubular branches of Aloidendron dichotomum to form quivers for their arrows. The specific epithet "dichotomum" refers to how the stems repeatedly branch into two ("dichotomous" branching) as the plant grows. This species was moved to the genus Aloidendron as Aloidendron dichotomum in 2013.

Related species
Three separate species, A. dichotomum, A. pillansii and A. ramosissimum inhabit the same arid areas of the Richtersveld and the Namib Desert around the South African-Namibian border. The three have been given different ratings on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: 'vulnerable' for A. dichotomum, 'critically endangered' for A. pillansii and 'endangered' for A. ramossisimum.

The three species can be distinguished as follows: In A. pillansii, the inflorescences hang from below the lowest leaves, rather than growing erect. A. ramosissimum is considerably smaller—rarely reaching more than 2 m in height—and assumes a more shrub-like shape. While there is a gradation between tree-like A. dichotomum and the shrubby A. ramosissimum, the relatively unique A. pillansii population is separated by a different flowering time and therefore does not interbreed with the other two species.

Distribution and conservation
One of the few examples of spontaneous forests of A. dichotomum is the Quiver Tree Forest, about 14 km north of Keetmanshoop, in Namibia. Another is located in the Northern Cape of South Africa at Gannabos.

Throughout much of its range this species is in decline. Modelling of Aloidendron dichotomum in South Africa and Namibia has contributed to understanding the needs of protected areas in response to climate change. Modelled range declines in this species due to climate change have recently been confirmed by field surveys.

Cultivation
Aloidendron dichotomum is cultivated in arid areas around the world, for use in landscaping. The slow growth rate and relative rarity of the plant make it a particularly expensive specimen. It is also relatively difficult to keep outside of its natural habitat.

In cultivation it requires extremely well-drained coarse mineral sand (preferably with some loam and bone meal to keep it active and growing), full sun, good aeration and extremely little water - primarily in the winter (as it mainly occurs in winter rainfall desert areas). In the (rare) event that it is under-watered, the leaves will curl up and die off at the tips; this is not fatal, but indicates that it is relatively dry.

It is unusually prone to aphids and insect infections in between its leaves, and this is exacerbated whenever there is not full sun and constant fresh air movement. Indoor plants require frequent treatment for these pests. Fungicide can be added occasionally, to protect the plant from rot.

It can be propagated from seed and (with more difficulty) from cuttings or truncheons. Cuttings need to be thoroughly dried for several weeks in a shaded area before being planted.

In popular culture
Michael Benson's book Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke, and the Making of a Masterpiece (2018) briefly discusses how the kokerboom piqued the interest of film director, Stanley Kubrick. The book claims that several protected kokerboom trees were cut down so they could be used to film 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Punks Not Dead

Punks Not Dead is the first studio album by the Scottish punk rock band The Exploited, released in April 1981 on Secret Records. Working class and loyal to the first impulses of the 1970s punk movement, the album was a reaction to critics who believed the punk rock genre was dead, and went against popular trends such as new wave and post-punk. It contains the double A side singles "Army Life/Fuck the Mods" and the later follow up "I Believe in Anarchy". "Army Life" details the experiences of Wattie Buchan when he was a 17-year-old squaddie on a tour of duty in Belfast in the 1970s.

Punks Not Dead peaked at no 20 on the UK charts in May of that year, gave the band a national following in the United Kingdom and it was the top selling 1981 independent UK release.

Legacy
Supported by a tour with the Anti-Nowhere League, the album had underground success and is regarded as one of the definitive Oi! albums, and its popularity gave rise to a variety of punk rock bands including The Business. The Exploited's song "Punks Not Dead" has symbolic significance for the punk movement.

Murder of Suzanne Marie Collins

Suzanne Marie Collins was a United States Marine Corps Lance Corporal who was tortured, raped, and murdered in 1985. At the time of her murder she was stationed at Naval Support Activity Mid-South in Millington, Tennessee. Collins was a student undergoing training at the base, and was scheduled to graduate from avionics training on the day of her murder. She is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Early life and education
Suzanne Collins was the daughter of Jack and Trudy Collins. She graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Abduction and murder
On the evening of July 11, 1985, Suzanne Marie Collins was abducted while jogging on the base, and was taken to nearby Edmund Orgill Park. There, the kidnapper severely beat Collins, fracturing her skull, before repeatedly shoving a tree limb up her vagina with enough force to penetrate her abdomen and tear one of her lungs. The autopsy would state that Collins died from blunt force trauma to the head and internal hemorrhaging from the tree limb. The kidnapper then ditched the body and fled the scene.

Two Marines jogging near where Collins was abducted heard her scream and ran toward the sound. However, as they reached the scene, they saw a car leaving the area. They reported to base security and accompanied officers on a tour of the base, looking for the car. Unsuccessful, they returned to their barracks, but soon the Marines were called back to the security office. There they identified Sedley Alley's car, which had been stopped by officers. Alley and his wife gave statements to the base security personnel accounting for their whereabouts. The security personnel were satisfied with Alley's story, and Alley and his wife returned to their on-base housing. The two Marine witnesses returned to the security office shortly after Alley and his wife departed. The Marines disputed the couple's version of events, citing that the loud, distinct sounds made by the muffler on Alley's car matched those sounds they had heard prior to and during Collins' abduction. The security personnel indicated that since no one had yet been reported missing, there was nothing more that could be done. The Marines were thanked for their assistance and told to return to their barracks.

Collins' body was discovered the next morning by sheriff's deputies, after her roommate reported her missing. Clothes, including a man's red underwear were found close by. When word got to the base of the murder, Alley was immediately arrested by military police. He voluntarily gave a statement to the police, admitting to having killed Collins but gave a substantially false account of the circumstances of the killing. He claimed that his wife Lynne went to a Tupperware party, which had angered him. He drank two six-packs of beer and a bottle of wine. He told authorities that he had gone out for more liquor when his car accidentally hit Collins as she jogged near the air base. He also claimed he accidentally killed the young woman when she fell on a screwdriver he was holding as he was trying to help her. However, an autopsy revealed that her skull had been fractured as the result of suffering repeated beatings, there were no screwdriver wounds, and no wounds consistent with being hit by a car.

Trial and execution of Alley
In spite of his attempt to convince a jury that he had multiple personality disorder, Alley was convicted on March 18, 1987, of murder in the first degree and on May 17, 1987, was sentenced to death. He was also convicted of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated rape, for which he received consecutive forty-year sentences. He was scheduled to die by electrocution May 2, 1990, but was reprieved indefinitely by the state Court of Criminal Appeals.

A Shelby County judge denied Alley's initial request for state-funded DNA testing of 11 samples of physical evidence, saying he (Alley) hadn't shown "reasonable probability" that he wouldn't have been prosecuted or convicted if the tests were in his favor.

After numerous appeals, Alley was executed by lethal injection at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville, Tennessee, on the morning of June 28, 2006; he was pronounced dead at 2:12 a.m. The length of Alley's appeals process caused Collins' family to successfully work for limitations on groundless habeas corpus appeals. The amount of time between the murder and Alley's execution (20 years, 11 months, 14 days) was longer than Suzanne Collins had been alive (19 years, 1 month, 4 days) when she was killed.

On April 30, 2019, Alley's daughter petitioned the Criminal Court for Shelby County for the DNA test that was denied prior to his execution. A judge denied the request on November 18, 2019.

In 2021, the Innocence Project teamed up with conservative litigator and former solicitor general resident for President George W. Bush, Paul Clement, to launch an appeal to the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals on behalf of the estate Sedley Alley. According to the Innocence Project, there was weak physical and eyewitness identification evidence against him. The tire tracks found at the crime scene were not from Sedley's vehicle, and recovered shoe prints did not match his shoes. Key eyewitness accounts also don't match Sedley's description (the witnesses described a 5-foot 6-inch to 5-foot 8-inch man with short brown hair and dark complexion while Alley was a 6-foot 4-inch man with medium red hair and a light complexion). He told members of his legal team that he was coerced into confessing to a crime he didn't commit. In addition, one of the other students in Collin's class (Thomas Bruce) was proven to be a killer 20 years later while her boyfriend John Borrup not only matched the description but was unaware that she had been seeing another man. On May 7, 2021, the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals denied the petition.

Advocacy of Jack and Trudy Collins
After the murder, the Collinses dealt with their grief in part by joining a Fairfax County support group for surviving members of homicide victims led by Carroll Ellis and Sandra Witt. They began attending the hearings and criminal proceedings of the man who murdered their daughter. Their involvement with the support group led both Collinses to become deeply involved with activism and reform work.

With the appeals of Alley stretching into years, the Collinses became frustrated with the long habeas corpus appeals and continuing delay of Alley's sentence. In March 1991, Jack Collins addressed delegates at the Crime Summit in Washington, D.C., convened by then Attorney General Richard Thornburgh. Collins's statement was about the lack of finality with criminal convictions and pressing for reform.

In the early 1990s, Jack and Trudy Collins served as the Eastern Regional Directors of Citizens for Law and Order, based in Oakland, California. Jack Collins worked with Executive Director Lee Chancellor of the Judicial Reform Foundation to create a pamphlet on habeas corpus abuses and history of the judicial process. On May 7, 1991, Jack Collins testified before Congress on, habeas corpus reform and the endless appeals that Alley was requesting. Trudy Collins was in attendance in support of her husband.

The Collinses have also established a scholarship named the Suzanne Marie Collins Perpetual Scholarship, first awarded in 1996.

The name of the article jumps up and down screaming vanity, and the content isn't impressive - red links by the hoard, and puffing up the importance of a hair removal technique and a (rather obscure I would imagine) trade magazine.

 * Delete Interesting case. Being a practitioner of hair removal definitely isn't notable by our standards, and if the article was just that it would be speediable.  The true claims to notability are related to acting.

Whitmore Mountains

The Whitmore Mountains (-82.58333°N, -104.5°W) are an isolated mountain range of the Transantarctic Mountains System, located in the Marie Byrd Land region of West Antarctica.

They consist of three mountains and a cluster of nunataks extending over 15 miles. The group was visited and surveyed on January 2, 1959, by William H. Chapman, cartographer with the Horlick Mountains Traverse Party (1958–59). The mountains were named by Chapman for George D. Whitmore, Chief Topographic Engineer of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), who was a member of the Working Group on Cartography of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research.

Linck Nunataks
Linck Nunataks (-82.68333°N, -104.2°W) is a group of four small, ice-covered nunataks at the southeast end of the Whitmore Mountains. Three of the nunataks are together and aligned while the fourth lies 2.5 miles distant. They were visited and surveyed on January 2, 1959, by the Horlick Mountains Traverse Party. William H. Chapman, party surveyor, proposed the naming for M. Kerwin Linck, Chief of the Branch of Special Maps of the USGS.

Mount Radlinski
Mount Radlinski (-82.51667°N, -103.56667°W) is a rounded, smooth, ice-covered mountain (2,750 m) rising 4 miles southeast of Mount Seelig in the northeast part of the Whitmore Mountains. It was surveyed on January 2, 1959, by William H. Chapman, a member of the Horlick Mountains Traverse (1958–59). Mount Radlinski was named by Chapman after William A. Radlinski, United States Geological Survey (USGS) photogrammetrist, 1949–79; associate director of USGS, 1969–79; president, American Society of Photogrammetry, 1968; president, International Federation of Surveyors, 1973–75.

Mount Seelig
Mount Seelig (-82.46667°N, -103.9°W) is the largest and highest mountain in the Whitmore Mountains, rising to 3020 m at the northeast end of the group. It was surveyed on January 2, 1959, by William H. Chapman of USGS, a member of the Horlick Mountains Traverse Party, 1958–59. He named the mountain after Walter R. Seelig, Office of Polar Programs, National Science Foundation, 1960–86, who developed the USGS-NSF plan for topographic mapping of Antarctica; NSF Representative in Christchurch, N.Z., during eleven United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) austral seasons between 1971 and 1986, including seventeen trips to Antarctica and adjacent seas; member, United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names, 1973–86; chairman, 1976–86.

New Waterford, Nova Scotia

New Waterford (Irish language: Port Lairge Ùr) is an urban community in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality of Nova Scotia, Canada.

Geography
Formerly known as Barrachois (from barachois, meaning small port, lagoon or pond), its present name is likely derived from the Irish seaport Waterford, from which many early settlers came. Coal mining in the vicinity began as early as 1854 at Lingan and later at Low Point in 1865. New Waterford is located northeast of Sydney, Nova Scotia. It is located near the ocean and is bordered on one side by cliffs. New Waterford has a rather flat terrain and has several fresh water lakes located nearby.

Economy
New Waterford is a fishing port and former coal-mining community that has been in economic decline in recent years. There are ongoing efforts to revitalize the area's economy including a slow but steady increase in jobs in the technology sector. Many residents had been reliant on the coal and steel industries, which are now closed. The last local mine closed in 2001.

Demographics
Senior citizens make up a disproportionate number of town residents due to a long running unemployment problem and the economic development plans of the government which focused on propping up older declining industries. This had the effect of worsening employment prospects for younger workers resulting in a large migration of these younger workers from New Waterford to other areas of the country where opportunities were available.

Eight-thirty whistle
At 8:30 pm every day the New Waterford Fire Department sets off its siren, known locally as The 8:30 Whistle. The siren has a long history and continues in tradition to this day. The original intent of the whistle is debated, with some saying it was to alert the town of a mining disaster, others to alert locals of fires in the town, and some say it was simply for curfew.

History
The first inhabitants of the area were the Mi'kmaq whose lifestyle was centred around hunting and fishing.

The historical industry in New Waterford has been coal mining. The creation of steam powered machines during the industrial revolution led to a demand for the coal deposits of Cape Breton and northern mainland Nova Scotia. Mining in the area started as early as 1854. The Dominion Coal Company began operating in New Waterford in 1907 drawing in many workers mainly from Irish and Scottish Catholic backgrounds. The name likely comes from the Irish city of Waterford.

New Waterford was incorporated as a town in 1913.

On July 25, 1917, 65 people were killed in a coal mine explosion at New Waterford's No. 12 Colliery.

Demand for coal peaked during the Second World War after which it competed with oil and has been in sharp decline ever since. As a result the coal industry in New Waterford has declined and many of its residents have moved elsewhere in the country to look for work.

No. 12 Colliery Mine Explosion
On the morning of July 25, 1917, an explosion erupted in the Dominion Company No.12 Colliery in New Waterford. The explosion occurred about 2000 feet below the surface. At the time 270 miners were working inside the mine.

Methane gas and coal dust that was accumulated in the shaft due to poor ventilation were ignited resulting in the large explosion. The blast itself killed 62 miners aged 14–65 and resulted in many other injuries. Rescue efforts began immediately following the explosion. Firemen and miners including those from nearby mines which were closed after the blast, entered to aid in the rescue. 3 miners who entered the mine to help with rescue efforts were killed from exposure to gasses.

In total, 65 men died because of the explosion making it the worst coal mining disaster to happen on Cape Breton Island to date.

The Dominion Coal Company insisted that the ventilation in the mine was in working order despite the many miners who claimed that it was not and that there had been gas built up in the mine. a coroner's inquiry began to investigate the cause of the explosion and found the Dominion Coal company was guilty of gross negligence. The Amalgamated Mine Workers of Nova Scotia charged the company with criminal negligence and three of their officials with manslaughter. The crown prosecutor in the case had previously defended the Dominion Company did not bring in any evidence against the company. The presiding judge on the case had also previously worked on behalf of the company and instructed the jury to find the defendants not guilty.

In 1922, a monument was erected with the names and ages of the workers who were lost in the explosion to commemorate the loss of life and the courage of the people who assisted in the rescue effort.

Coal Strike of 1925
In the 1920s, the British Empire Steel Company controlled most of the coal mines in Nova Scotia. Due to the declining global demand for coal and having made unrealistic promises to its shareholders, Besco intended to cut the wages of miners and crack down on their ability to unionize and strike. Throughout the 1920s, the coal miner's unions clashed with Besco throughout the early 20s with multiple strikes being quelled by the police and armed forces.

In 1925, contract negotiations had failed and the miners went on strike on March 6, leaving a small workforce to prevent the mines from becoming flooded and to keep the power plant in service for the town and hospital. Besco intended to wait out the strike rather than settle with the striker's demands. By June the economic impact of the strike was felt heavily as families were close to starvation, the workers nonetheless "stood the gaff". On the 4th of June, company police forced the workers out of the power plant and shut off water and power to the town. On June 9, the workers went on a 100% strike. On June 11, a large group of miners marched on the plant and were met by the company police who fired shots into the crowd, killing 38 year old William Davis and wounding several others. Now a full blown angry mob, the miners stormed the plant and destroyed it. The miners rounded up 30 of the company police and marched them into the jail. In the days following Davis' death, miners looted company stores and collieries were burned. Soldiers from the Canadian Armed Forces were called in to restore order. It marked the largest deployment of the Armed Forces for a domestic conflict since the Northwest Rebellion of 1885.

On June 25, the Nova Scotia's Conservative party won the general election after 43 years of Liberal government and began working with Besco and the strikers to come to a settlement. On the 5th of August, a settlement was reached and workers once again returned to the mines.

Every year on June 11, miners across Nova Scotia abstain from working on what is known as William Davis Miner's Memorial Day to commemorate William Davis who was killed by Besco company police, along with all miners who have died in the coal mines of Nova Scotia.

In popular culture
The town was the setting for the 1999 comedic coming-of-age film New Waterford Girl. New Waterford Girl is a drama about Moonie Pottie, a gifted teenager, who dreams of life beyond her small town. She becomes inspired when a 15-year-old girl from New York moves in next door. Starring many local actors and mostly Canadian talent, it is set in the mid 1970s. Most of the scenes in the movie were actually filmed in the town of North Sydney.

Canadian author Ann-Marie MacDonald set her #1 bestseller “Fall on Your Knees” in New Waterford, set in the early 20th century.

The song 'Auction Days' by Canadian artist Jon Brooks is set in New Waterford and describes the social collapse caused by the loss of so many men to war and the mines.

In recent years, two emerging filmmakers from the community, Ashley McKenzie and Winston DeGiobbi, have attracted significant attention for independent films shot in the area, including McKenzie's Werewolf and Queens of the Qing Dynasty, and DeGiobbi's Mass for Shut-Ins.

Coal Dust Days
Coal Dust Days is a week-long community celebration that takes place approximately the third week of July. The Coal Dust Days parade, Plummer Avenue Day, the tavern tour, and fireworks display are some of the many events that take place during the week.

Davis Day
Davis Day is a commemoration of the death of a Cape Breton miner, and father of 10, William Davis. He was shot dead by the coal company security force at Waterford Lake during a mining strike on June 11, 1925. Davis was not participating in the protest, which took the form of a march from the company power plant (by Waterford Lake) and ended by the railroad tracks between Daley Road and May Street. He was shot along with two other men, who survived. Davis Day is also known as Miners Memorial Day.

Coal Bowl
New Waterford is the site of the annual Coal Bowl Classic basketball tournament, which brings in teams from all across Canada to compete in a week long event. The tournament, first held in 1982, takes place at Breton Education Centre in early February. In 2009, the Breton Education Centre Bears won the tournament for the first time lifting the "Coal Bowl curse".

The Joulukalenteri

The Joulukalenteri (combination of English word "The" and Finnish word for "Christmas Calendar") is a 1997 Finnish television miniseries produced by MTV3 that was broadcast again in 1998, 2007, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022. It was based on the Danish series The Julekalender from 1991. A Norwegian version was made in 1994.

The series came out in December 1997 with one episode per day, concluding on Christmas Eve. The original concept and script of the series, as well as its numerous songs came from the Danish trio of De Nattergale (Carsten Knudsen, Uffe Rørbæk Madsen and Viggo Sommer). The Finnish adaptation was directed by Jukka Virtanen and starred Seppo Korjus, Kari Lehtomäki, Raimo Smedberg and Jukka Virtanen.

In December 2007, there was a rerun on Subtv and now a DVD and a CD which contains the songs played in the series, can be bought on a special web-site.

Plot summary
In Alaska (referred to as "a faraway place at the edge of the world") the old elf Iki-Iäkäs is dying, because the musicbox which plays his life's melody is about to stop. Iki-Iäkäs sends three elves, Toivo, Kauko and Hande, to Finland (whence the elves were driven away by the evil and greedy Näsä) to find the key to the music box so that it can be rewound.

After forgetting to fill the tank of their aeroplane, the elves crash into the woods. They manage to steal fuel from a nearby farm, the occupants of which are completely unaware of the elves' presence and the true intentions of their bizarre guest Pentti. Pentti is, in actuality, a Näsä sent to steal the elves' Book of Knowledge which holds the answer to every question. Despite getting the gas, they can't leave, because the propeller was twisted in the crash and so Kauko, an elf of an established carpenter family, begins to make a new one out of wood.

As a comedic touch, the three elves speak in a mixture of Finnish and English. This is mostly Finnish but (almost) every line contains a few words or phrases replaced by English in random places.
