Owen McCann

Owen McCann (26 June 1907 – 26 March 1994) was a South African cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church and journalist. He served as Archbishop of Cape Town from 1950 to 1984 (the first year as Apostolic Vicar) and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1965.

Biography
Owen McCann was born in Woodstock in Cape Town, and studied at Saint Joseph College in Rondebosch, University of Cape Town, and Pontifical Urbaniana University in Rome. He was ordained to the priesthood on 21 December 1935. In 1941, he became editor of "The Southern Cross", South Africa's national Catholic newspaper, and held this post until 1948; he again became editor in 1986, this time for a five-year period. He did pastoral work in Cape Town from 1948 to 1950.

On 12 March 1950, McCann was appointed apostolic vicariate of Cape Town and titular bishop of Stectorium. He received his episcopal consecration on the following 18 May from Archbishop Martin Lucas, SVD, nuncio to South Africa. Upon Cape Town's elevation to a diocese on 11 January 1951, McCann was appointed Archbishop of Cape Town, the first of metropolitan rank. Between 1961 and 1974, he served as President of the Southern African Catholic Bishops Conference (SACBC). McCann attended the Second Vatican Council, at which he was elected to the Commission for Bishops and made four written and four oral submissions in his own name and five written ones as president of the SACBC.

McCann was created cardinal priest of Santa Prassede by Pope Paul VI in the consistory of 22 February 1965, becoming the first South African to receive the red hat. He was one of the cardinal electors who participated in the August 1978 papal conclave, which selected Albino Luciani as Pope John Paul I, and the October 1978 papal conclave, which selected Cardinal Karol Wojtyla as Pope John Paul II. McCann was reportedly a supporter of Giovanni Benelli at the latter conclave, but still gave his praise to the newly elected Wojtyla. Cardinal McCann retired as Archbishop of Cape Town on 20 October 1984.

He died on 26 March 1994 at age 86, and is buried in the archdiocesan cathedral. President Nelson Mandela, in an official condolence statement on the following 28 March, described Cardinal McCann as "one of South Africa's great sons" and "a man of great ability and wisdom".

Talk:Teppanyaki

Removed Non-Needed Comment
Teppanyaki is edible... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.238.171.45 (talk • contribs) 05:49, 11 October 2005

 * Well yes, but not needed to be pointed out. WestJet

What about
Okonomiyaki (spelling)? Chris 00:45, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

'flaming onion volcano'
What is a 'flaming onion volcano'?--Chaz 01:26, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The flaming onion volcano starts out as a half-inch thick slice of onion taken just off-center from the widest part of the onion. When separated into rings, the curve of the rings from one side of the slice to the other allows the rings to be stacked into a cone shape. This cone is then placed in a puddle of cooking oil on the hot cooking surface. Water is poured into the center of the cone, where it causes a cloud of hot water vapor to steam out of the top of the onion cone, giving the appearance of a volcano about to erupt. The chef then uses a lighter to set fire to the cooking oil from outside of the cone of onion rings, causing a flamethrower like effect to shoot out the top of the cone. Some chefs will then have fun with the fire, either holding a piece of meat in the flames with their fork or sprinkling black pepper into the flames to create incandescent cinders. When the cooking oil burns off, the chef will then fill the cone with soy sauce, and pause a moment to let it come to a boil. A swift whack with the butt of the spatula handle on the cooking surface next to the onion makes the boiling soy sauce splort lava-like out the top of the cone. It's one of the high points in many Teppanyaki routines. 65.14.2.104 16:46, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Way too much emphasis in this article on the flaming onion volcano. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.194.42.74 (talk) 19:14, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Removed. The Hero of This Nation (talk) 18:36, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

I have never seen a Teppanyaki restaurant in Japan that did any of the antics like the onion volcano. I think the statement: "As the restaurants became popular at tourist spots with non-Japanese, the chain increased the performance aspect of the chef's preparation, such as stacking onion slices to produce a flaming onion volcano." needs a citation because I believe it to be a false statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.184.252.216 (talk) 22:39, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Spelling
According to the label on the Teppan I use, it's written "Teppan Yaki" instead of "Teppanyaki" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.100.244.46 (talk • contribs) 16:25, 24 October 2006

image clutter

Currently the article has far too many images compared to its length, resulting in a bit of clutter, especially since overuse of images has a tendency to disrupt text layout.

The above are removed from the article since they don't offer much that isn't already offered in the first image on the article page's right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.19.184.243 (talk • contribs) 00:38, 30 June 2006

Page move
BOLDly moved the article from Teppanyaki to Teppan-yaki noting "teppanyaki -> teppan-yaki, since it is prevalent in google and does not munge the pronunciation." However a google search on Teppanyaki gives 556,000 results vs. 338,000 for Teppan-yaki, and additionally the Merriam-Webster dictionary asserts that the English spelling is "teppanyaki." As such, I have moved the article back to its original location and reverted the spelling changes. --Kralizec! (talk) 21:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Naming and identity/description
I'm sure there are teppanyaki restaurants in Japan - I see signs for them all the time in my neighborhood. But is this not different from the entertainment style "hibachi" or "Japanese steakhouse" restaurant we see in the West? I find it hard to believe that teppanyaki places in Japan would involve the chef putting on a show in quite the same way, with the flaming onion Mt Fuji and all that. In point of fact, half the staples of these American/Japanese restaurants, such as teriyaki anything, are things I have never once seen on a menu in Japan.

In any case, teppanyaki as used in Japan is a form of dish, a type of cuisine, not a type of restaurant. It's a subtle difference in meaning, but an important one, like the difference between sushi and a sushi-ya, between nabemono and a nabe restaurant.

Should this article thus not be renamed to "hibachi restaurant" or "Japanese steakhouse"? LordAmeth (talk) 13:22, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Cultural impact?
Should some mention be made about how the chefs play to old japanes stereotypes? I went to one tonight and the chef referred to soy sauce as Japnese ketchup and plenty of groanable embarassing jokes that had my grandfather laughing and me shrinking in embarrassment. 69.151.28.135 (talk) 06:27, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Fixes
In the second paragraph under the United States section, the last sentence (Another famous chain...) makes no sense. It seems like several words are missing. I'm afraid I'm not quite sure how to flag it for correction, & I don't want to screw up the page! 70.173.229.216 (talk) 08:19, 11 May 2009 (UTC) ~ Me

Stage Directions
I believe the image in the Stage Directions is incorrect. The text seems to describe the opposite to the image and a quick Google Image search confirmed my suspicions. I suggest the image be changed and the inclusion of the audience and House Left / House Right directions would also enhance the diagram.

 * Not sure what you mean. Here's what I intended to convey:
 * Suppose that a person in the audience facing toward the stage is looking North. In that case:
 * When a member of the audience (i.e., "in the house") faces the stage, "house left" is West, and "house right" is East.
 * Whan a member of the cast is on stage and facing the audience, they are looking South. In that case, "stage left" is East and "stage right" is West.

 * I've been an amateur producer for a few years. These are the only terms and definitions I've ever heard. --Uncle Ed 20:37, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The stage directions diagram is correct. What confirmed your search in google?  --Lekogm 03:32, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

 * The stage directions, presumably already changed, are now totally wrong or at least very confusing because the viewpoint in question has not been clarified. They indicate that an actor on stage looking out towards the audience would go or look West (i.e. to their left) in order to go stage right. It's the opposite, and in fact the Answers.com explanation taken from a previous version of Wikipedia is better, saying:

- The rear of the stage is considered up-stage. This derives from the raked stage of the Greek Theater (see below). - The front of the stage is down-stage. - Stage Left and right, at least in British and North American Theater, refer to the actor's left and right facing the audience. Because this is sometimes misunderstood the terms prompt (left) and opposite prompt (right) are also used. - House left and house right refer to how the audience perceives the stage. The audience’s left is referred to as house left, and the audience’s right is referred to as house right.

This would clarify things, especially re-instating mention of the common use of 'prompt' and o/p. Can we please discuss or just change it back to make things much more clear and forget all the talk about East and West?

Stage directions are different in different countries, some are form audience perspective, others are for actor's perspective --203.97.127.185 05:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Could you explain in which countries they are from the audience perspective? Bryson430 10:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * just FYI, the convention in Japan is 上手 kami-te (heavenward) and 下手 shimo-te (groundward). Kami-te is skilful or right-hand, and is to the right from the audience point of view. Shimo-te is awkward or left-hand, and is to the left from the audience point of view. Mbarkerwiki (talk) 07:26, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

The Arena Stage
Your forgetting what type of stage- The Arena Stage. The Arena Stage is a type of stage where the audience surrounds the stage area. Yes I know you have theatre on the round on here but most actors and stage hands call it an arena stage. Therefore I think you should put down Theatre-in-the-Round (Arena Stage). You don't have to do this of course but it might be nice to have listed the other common term for the word in the article title. It's just a silly and crazy suggestion. Would make the whole article look much more sophisticated. Then again maybe that's just me.

Shreela Flather, Baroness Flather

Shreela Flather, Baroness Flather, (Rai; 13 February 1934 – 6 February 2024) was a British politician, teacher and life peer.

Politics
Flather served as a Councillor from 1976 to 1991; as Deputy Mayor and as Mayor for the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead; and as a Justice of the peace from 1971 to 1990. She became a life peer for the Conservative party on 11 June 1990 as Baroness Flather, of Windsor and Maidenhead in the Royal County of Berkshire. She was the first Asian woman to receive a peerage. In 1998 she resigned as the Conservative whip over the demotion of Viscount Cranborne for his actions to reduce the impact of the 1999 House of Lords Act. She rejoined the party in 1999, but left a second time in 2008, after which point she sat as a crossbencher.

Flather attended University College London.

Flather was also at one time a teacher of English as a second language and a member of the Conservative Women's National Committee. Flather was recognised as Asian of the Year 1996. She had served senior posts in various organisations involved in refugee, community, race relations and prison work. She was also shortlisted for the Grassroot Diplomat Initiative Award in 2015 for her outspoken work on women's rights, and she remains in the directory of the Grassroot Diplomat Who's Who publication.

As a member of the House of Lords, she gained attention for wearing a sari and for being among the first ethnic minorities in the house.

Flather was a distinguished supporter of Humanists UK and an honorary associate of the National Secular Society. She was one of the Vice Chairs of the All-Party Parliamentary Humanist Group. She lived in Maidenhead.

Flather was patron of the UK population concern charity, Population Matters. She had been a board member of Marie Stopes for 17 years.

Perhaps her most important contribution was to help create a memorial to the volunteers from the Indian Subcontinent, Africa and the Caribbean who fought with the British in two World Wars. These volunteers who number nearly 5 million had all but been forgotten. Her own father volunteered in the First World War and was a stretcher bearer in Mesopotamia. The Memorial Gates stand on Constitution Hill near Hyde Park Corner.

In September 2011 during a Parliamentary debate on welfare, she singled out Bangladeshi and Pakistani immigrant communities in the United Kingdom and accused them having a large number of children in order to be able to claim welfare benefits. She claimed the issue did not apply to British families of Indian origin as “they are like the Jews of old. They want their children to be educated.” Her comments were not well-received by the government. Labour Party MP Michael Dugher later condemned her and said that her views were “ignorant” and unacceptable - she later admitted that her statement had “gone too far.”

Flather made further controversial comments in November 2012, when she defended Conservative election strategist Lynton Crosby, during an incident in which he used an offensive term referring to Muslims at a meeting when he was working for Mayor of London Boris Johnson. She said: "I don’t condone swearing, but Lynton is right to say it is pointless for the Conservatives to chase Muslim votes. They are all on benefits and all vote Labour."

In 2015 she again was accused of bigotry for implying that consanguineous marriages, which are common in India and account for up to 23% of marriages in South India, were uniquely problematic in the Pakistani community. She also called for a ban of Halal meats in the UK.

Family and personal life
Daughter of Rai Bahadur Aftab Rai, of New Delhi, India, a barrister and diplomat, and Krishna Rai, Flather was the great-granddaughter of Sir Ganga Ram, a noted engineer, philanthropist and agriculturist during the late 19th century and early 20th century in Punjab, British India (now Pakistan). She was married to Gary Denis Flather until his death in 2017. She had two sons from her first marriage, one of whom is Paul Flather. The Baroness's niece is Kesha Ram, a member of the Vermont State Senate.

Flather described herself as a "Hindu atheist". Broadly, she was an atheist with affinity to the most important sayings from the Bhagavad Gita and following them. She was an honorary associate of the National Secular Society.

Flather died on 6 February 2024, at age 89.

Honours and awards
Honorary Doctor of Laws Leeds University, and Honorary Doctor of The Open University and Northampton University. Also Fellow of University College London.

Bronson La Follette

Bronson Cutting La Follette (February 2, 1936 – March 15, 2018) was an American Democratic lawyer and politician. He was the 36th and 39th Attorney General of the state of Wisconsin, and was an unsuccessful candidate for Governor of Wisconsin in 1968.

Family
Born in Washington, D.C., he was the son of U.S. Senator Robert M. La Follette Jr. and the grandson of U.S. Senator Robert M. "Fighting Bob" La Follette, both of Wisconsin. He was named in memory of former U.S. Senator Bronson Cutting of New Mexico, a close family friend who died in an airplane crash in 1935.

Biography
La Follette went to Landon School in Bethesda, Maryland. He received a bachelor of arts degree in political science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1958 and a law degree in 1960. He worked in private practice until 1962, when he was appointed an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin by U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy.

In 1964 he was elected Wisconsin Attorney General and served for two consecutive two-year terms, and later three consecutive four-year terms from 1975 to 1987. He challenged the incumbent Republican Governor Warren P. Knowles in the 1968 Wisconsin gubernatorial election and lost. He ran for and was again elected Attorney General in 1974. Despite a 1981 conviction for drunk driving, he was re-elected in 1982, and in the process became the first candidate for Wisconsin statewide office to receive one million votes. After his 1986 defeat following an ethics investigation, he retired from public service and lived in Madison.

Death
La Follette died on March 15, 2018, at the age of 82 at the University of Wisconsin Hospital, in Madison, Wisconsin.

Governor Scott Walker said in a statement: "Tonette and I send our prayers to the family of former Wisconsin Attorney General Bronson La Follette. He was a dedicated public servant for several decades."

Holika

Holika (होलिका, ), also known as Simhika, is an asuri in Hinduism. She is the sister of the asura-kings Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha, and the paternal aunt  of Prahlada.

The legend of Holika Dahan (Holika's burning) signifies the triumph of righteousness over sin. Holika is associated with the annual bonfire on the night before Holi, the festival of colours.

Legend

According to the Puranas, a king named Hiranyakashipu, like many asuras, wished to be immortal. To fulfill this desire, he performed the required tapas until he was granted a boon by Brahma. The boon granted Hiranyakashipu five of his desires: that he would not die at the hands of any being created by Brahma, that he would not perish inside or outside, by day or night, by any weapon, on the earth or in the sky, by men or beasts, devas or asuras, that he be unequalled, that he possess undiminishing power, and that he be the one ruler of all creation. His wish granted, Hiranyakashipu felt invincible, and conquered the three worlds, assuming the throne of Indra. He punished and killed anyone all those who objected to his supremacy. His son Prahlada, raised a Vaishnava, refused to worship his father as a deity. He continued believing in and worshipping Vishnu.

This infuriated Hiranyakashipu, and he made various attempts to kill Prahlada. During one attempt on Prahlada's life, King Hiranyakashipu's sister, Holika, offered her help. According to the Vishnu Purana, Holika told her brother that due to a boon she had received, she was invulnerable to fire. Arrangements were made to have Prahlada sit upon the lap of his aunt, atop a burning pyre. However, as Prahlada chanted the name of Vishnu, he escaped unscathed, while Holika was incinerated.

In a variation of this Puranic legend, Hiranyakashipu had Holika don her scarf or her fireproof garment, so that his son may perish, and she may be protected atop the pyre. However, as the fire roared, the garment flew from Holika and covered Prahlada. Holika burnt to death, and Prahlada came out unharmed.

Vishnu appeared in the form of Narasimha (a half-human and half-lion avatara, one not created by Brahma), at dusk (neither day nor night), took Hiranyakashipu to his dwelling's threshold (neither indoors nor outdoors), placed him upon his lap (neither land, water, nor air), and then slew the king with his claws (not a weapon). In this manner, the comprehensive boon of Hiranyakashipu was no longer useful. Prahlada and the races of the three worlds were thus set free from the tyranny of Hiranyakashipu, and cosmic order was restored.

Holika Dahan
According to various Hindu traditions, Holika Dahana, commonly rendered Holika Dahan in Indo-Aryan languages, celebrates the death of Holika and the salvation of Prahlada. The night before Holi, pyres are burnt in North India, to commemorate this legend. This date coincides with the festival of Kama Dahanam in South India, regarded to be the date Shiva burnt Kamadeva to ashes.

Getxo

Getxo (Spanish: Guecho) is a town located in the province of Biscay, in the autonomous community of the Basque Country, in Spain. It is part of Greater Bilbao, and has 77,946 inhabitants (2019). Getxo is mostly an affluent residential area, as well as being the third largest municipality of Biscay.

History
Getxo (formerly spelt Guecho) was a parish (elizatea, anteiglesia'), originally a rural area, including a large beach at the mouth of the Estuary of Bilbao, centered on the little fishing village of Algorta. The parish council met at the church of Getxoko Andra Mari (Basque) or Santa María de Guecho (Spanish) (both mean Saint Mary of Getxo), not far from the headland called Punta Galea.

The town's coat of arms has an oak with two cauldrons chained to its branches and the motto Kaltea Dagianak Bizarra Lepoan (Basque for "Who makes evil, the beard at the back"). It is a proverb meaning that the evil doers look back, fearing revenge.

With industrialisation in the 19th century, some parts of Getxo evolved into residential areas for the rich bourgeois class. A residential area called Neguri (Basque for "Winter Town") came into being. The village of Algorta grew around the church of Saint Nicholas (San Nicolás) and the canalisation of the firth, provided for the colonisation of the beach, where a district called Areeta in Basque and Las Arenas (Spanish for "The Sands") was built. Near Areeta / Las Arenas, on the other side of the road to Bilbao, there grew a working-class district called Erromo, similar to the one that grew near Neguri: Neguri Langile. Finally, in the 20th century, urban development reached the rural areas of Getxoko Andra Mari.

Getxo, as well as the surrounding area known as Uribe-Kosta, grew rapidly in the last decades of the 20th century. While in the early 1980s the town had only 50,000 inhabitants, it has now more than 83,000. The surrounding towns of Leioa, Berango and Sopelana have also multiplied their population in the same period.

Getxo was hit by the Basque Conflict several times, with the town being the location of many ETA attacks. The deadliest of these was an ambush in October 1978 when three civil guards were killed and the most recent the car bomb attack on May 19, 2008. Many activists of the organisation have been born in Getxo, such as Arkaitz Goikoetxea.

Geography
It is located 14 km (~8 miles) north of Bilbao, in the province and historical Territory of Biscay, in the community of the Basque Country, in the north of Spain. It has an area of 11.64 km2. It borders in the north with Sopelana, in the east with Berango and Leioa, in the south with Portugalete and in the west with the Bay of the Cove.

Neighborhoods
The municipality officially encompasses the neighborhoods of Las Arenas, Algorta, Romo, Neguri, and Santa María de Getxo. But for the inhabitants of Getxo there is a more thorough division: The founding nucleus of the town of Getxo, the elizate or anteiglesia'' is what currently is known as Santa María or Andra Mari, which was originally a group of country houses or "baserris" around Saint Mary's church.

Las Arenas and Neguri arose in the late nineteenth century as residential areas for the Basque industrial bourgeoisie. Neguri neighborhood is characterized by the palaces in which lived the elite of the bourgeoisie and where nowadays many of the people with more resources of Getxo live. The name of Neguri was coined by Resurrección María de Azkue, since previously it was called Aretxetaurre (before Aretxete). Neguri comes from the merger of two Basque words: negu and uri (winter and city respectively): Neguko hiri, Neguri, the winter city designed, as has been noted, for the Basque bourgeoisie.

The neighborhood of Algorta is the district of largest population of Getxo. The greatest expansion was in the 70s when middle-class families decided to find a more comfortable place to live rather than in the neighborhoods of the left bank of the Nervion.

Romo neighborhood was built in the beginning to house the working class, formerly separated by the train barriers from Las Arenas. Nowadyas is separated by Gobelas river from one side and reaches the traffic circle of Romo. Originally the district was shaped like a horseshoe. It borders the neighbourhood of Ibaiondo (which belongs to the municipality of Leioa), so much so that the road from the roundabout Romo until the bank of the estuary of Bilbao is the municipal border between Getxo and Leioa. One sidewalk belongs to each municipality.

The neighborhood of Santa María de Getxo stood longer as a mostly rural area until the last third of the 20th century. It still has several farmhouses, arable fields and pastures and but there are also many villas and houses built in the 1990s.

Andra Mari Church
This romanesque church built in the 12th century took in the first inhabitants. This church suffered diverse reformations and the church that nowadays we can admire is mostly from the 17th century based on the Baroque period. Inside the church is a sculpture of the Virgin and her son.

Aixerrota Windmill
This monument is the only antique windmill that nowadays still stands. The construction of the windmill was undertaken between 1726 and 1727 due to a huge drought and was focused on corn and feed production. The windmill, ones in lack of use, was set up as a home during all the 19th century. The name of Aixerrota comes from basque Aixe "wind" and errota "mill". The construction of this windmill was motivated due to the drought that was originated in Biscay at the beginning of the 18th century. It produces two types of flour: fine and ordinary. The first historic date make reference to the windmill property is in 1725. This land belongs to the small village Subyaga-Etxebarria. Nowadays belongs to a catering company and has been completely restored. Also, has a restaurant and an art gallery.

Prince's castle or La Galea Fort
This military building was constructed in the 18th century to protect the commercial traffic in Bilbao. Situated in a strategic place, this fort is located along the bay. "Galea" derives from the French word gale which means "cliff". This fort also was named "Prince´s Castle"; it is an interesting example of fortification, being a unique model of military construction in Biscay. The situation in which it is located in the past was privileged, thanks to the cliff, people could guard enemy fleets and could see the fleets that approached. In 1740, the council ordered Jaime Sycre to create the fort as a measurement to reinforce the coast. The historic datum holds that this fort was never attacked. When the military fort was abandoned, lighthouse construction started in 1782. Nowadays the fort is a municipal property.

Saint Anne's Chapel (Santa Ana)
In Las Arenas there are a number of buildings of the neogothic style in Biscay. By order of the Agirre family the chapel was built by Modesto de Echániz y Zavalla in 1864. Maximo Aguirre was a well-known business man that obtained lands in Las Arenas. Nowadays this chapel, is one of the best examples of neogotic in Biscay. It is located in an urban area, surrounded of little green spaces and in a peaceful place. In the construction of the chapel bishop demanded build a bell. The chapel is rectangular. Since 1864 to 1876 was the unique worship place in Las Arenas and nowadays belongs to Maximo Aguirre's family. Concretely it belongs to MS. Carmen Jauregui. Nowadays is not usually open and this chapel is used for weddings.

Vizcaya Bridge o El puente colgante
Located in Las Arenas it is the oldest bridge of its kind and it was designed by the architect Alberto Palacios y Elissague. It was built in 1893 with the purpose of communicating between both sides of the river and the municipalities of Getxo and Portugalete. It was made with the iron extracted from the mountains in the area and it is one of the main monuments from the industrial revolution, it is the main symbol of the region.

Galerias de Punta Begoña
This massive stone structure was built in 1919 as a continuation of Getxo's defensive wall. It's an impressive sight, though it's in a bad state of decay. Long-term restoration, however, is underway. And while it's not open to the public, free one-hour guided visits in Basque and Spanish are offered throughout the year, with some English-language tours in August.

These galleries and viewing balconies are of extraordinary architectural, visual and environmental interest. Their floor plan is irregular, following the outline of the Punta Begoña promontory on which they stand. A fort defending the bay stood on this same spot from the 17th century to the 19th.

The galleries were designed by architect Ricardo Bastida in 1918 in an eclectic but mainly classical style. They were commissioned by Horacio Echevarrieta, a renowned businessman, and their main function was complete the containing wall holding back the cliff below Atxekolandeta, the area on which the mansion of Echavarrieta family stood (this English-style mansion designed by architect Gregorio lbarreche in 1910, is no longer standing). The owner fitted out the galleries with various rooms and passages designed as a leisure area.

They are built in a blend of masonry, ashlars and concrete on a high sloping masonry base, and comprise three gallery sections at different heights, ending in terraces and balustraded viewing balconies.

Administration

Getxo's office of mayor has been continuously in the hands of the Basque Nationalist Party (EAJ-PNV) since democracy was restored in 1978 (Local Elections). Since 1991, the major opposition party has been the Partido Popular(PP).

Gorliz

Gorliz is a town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, which lies within the autonomous community of the Basque Country, in northern Spain. The town had 5,664 inhabitants in 2014.

Gorliz consists of the following neighborhoods: Elexalde, Santa María, Uresaranse (Urezarantza), Gandia, Areatza, San José, Guzurmendi and Orabille.

Its economy is mainly based on the services sector. Its principal source of income is the tourism. Over last years it has become one of the most touristic centres in Biscay.

Places of interest
One of the biggest attractions of the municipality is the beach and nearby pine forest. Near the northernmost part of the beach, sometimes considered as the separated Beach of Astondo, lie the Petrified Dunes of Astondo, which were declared a Site of Community Importance.

Churches such as the Church of the Immaculate Conception, founded in the 10th century and remodeled in 1781, and the church of Santa María (Andra Mari) are also attractions. In Cabo Villano, Billao in Basque, about 30 minutes from downtown, magnificent views can be enjoyed along the lighthouse. In this area there are cannons and underground galleries built after the Spanish Civil War by Francoist Spain, using prisoners of war on the Republican side, in anticipation of a hypothetical landing of the Allies after World War II that never came. Gorliz also has a camping, a youth hostel and many other places of interest.

Beach
With a length of 842m and a width of 120m, the recently modeled Gorliz beach has an excellent bathing water quality. It is accessible from the BI-2120 road to Mungia, taking the exit from the Saratxaga roundabout to Gorliz and then taking the BI-3158 (Uresarantze Bidea), that goes to Gorliz Hospital. There are also several bus lines close directly to the beach and from the last stop on line 1 of the underground Metro Bilbao, "Plentzia", it is a pleasant walk of around 2 km along the edge of the River Butroe estuary to Gorliz beach.

Gorliz's Marine Sanatorium
At the beginning of the 20th century, the properties of the baths of sea, the new medicine for rehab and a new concept of free time fixed new habits and treatments (Marine Sanatoria). But the history of this first marine sanatorium of the Biscayan coast was born from the ideas of several doctors, between whom Dr. Enrique Areilza stood out. The idea attracted the attention of the Deputation of Biscay, presided in those moments by Luis de Salazar.

Politics
From 1979-2007 Górliz's mayors belonged to the Basque Nationalist Party (in 1999 and in 2003 Patxo Igartua was elected, having presented the PNV in coalition with Eusko Alkartasuna). In 2007 there were separate EA and PNV. The PNV was again the most voted, but obtained a simple majority of 40% of the valid votes (those of Basque Nationalist Action were considered null), which earned him only six of the 13 councillors. Emma Calzada of the Independent Group was elected mayor of Gorliz, with the votes of his group (four councillors), the Basque PP (PP-PV, 1 councillor), Ezker Batua - Berdeak - Aralar (one councillor) and Eusko Alkartasuna (EA, one councillor).

Festivals
On June 29, San Pedro festivity, a pilgrimage takes place in the neighborhood of Iberre. The main festivity of Gorliz is celebrated around July 25, Santiago day. The festive activities include an "Habaneras" festival and Basque Poliphony. The neighborhood Andra Mari celebrates its singular festivities the first weekend of August, with its traditional paella contest and with the pilgrimage on August 5 in honor of the Virgin of Andra Mari de Aguirre and Las Nieves. The third weekend of August the festivities of Urezarantza-Fano neighborhood take place. On December 8, feast of Immaculate Conception, a Christmas fair and a snails in "vizcaina" style contest are celebrated.

Güeñes

The council of Güeñes is a municipality in the county of Encartaciones (Biscay, Basque Country, Spain). It is furrowed by the waters of the river Cadagua and forms with its neighbor, the municipality of Zalla, Salcedo Valley. In the North it borders Galdames and k; in the east Alonsotegi (Greater Bilbao);in the west the municipality of Zalla and in the south the municipality of Gordejuela. Its more important centres of population are Güeñes, Sodupe, The Quadra, Zaramillo, Sanchosolo and San Pedro de Goicouría.

Geography
The towns of Sodupe, La Quadra, Zaramillo and the administrative centre, Güeñes, all lie within the region.

Population cores in the region

 * Central Güeñes - 2213
 * La Quadra (Quadra-Lakabex) - 420
 * Sodupe - 5117
 * Zaramillo - 510
 * Total 8.258  - (INE 2011).

History
In ancient times, it was included in the Valley of Salcedo, formed by two councils: Güeñes and Zalla. The valley of Salcedo was founded in the late 12th century by Count D. Rubio Diaz de Asturias, who ordered the building of the Tower of Salcedo of Aranguti, which was later on transformed into a palace. He was succeeded by his daughter Maria de Salcedo, married to D. Galindo de Ayala, Mr. of Ayala. Ayala and Salcedo would remain together for the rest of the 12th century and the first half of the 13th century, under the successive domination of Sancho Garcia "the headstrong" and Hurtado Sanz. They were not, however, the only eminent "owners" of the valley: other characters wielded power in the area, such as Martin Sancho de Santa Marina. In the early 13th century, Hurtado Sanz de Salcedo, (6th Lord of Ayala), had a daughter who had two bastard children with Martin Sanchez of Santa Marina: Lope Sanchez, who received Gordexola as inheritance and Sancho Ortiz Marroquin, who kept Zalla and Güeñes.

A generation later, Marroquin divided among three of his four children all their possessions in Salcedo, thus giving rise to three lineages; Montermoso Marroquin, La Jara and Salcedo Salcedo Aranguren. In the valley of Salcedo direct clashes began at a relatively late date, during the mid 14th century. Relationships between different lineages were difficult. Many of their differences seem to have started from Sancho Ortiz Marroquin's territorial divisions. Despite the opposition from Salcedo, Montermoso still had effective control of the region, especially after the death of Juan Sanchez, and the Marroquines' territorial demands also began to increase.

All sides were well defended, and they all fought tirelessly for the control of the region: zamudianos of Salcedo, Salazares and Muñatones on one hand and marroquines and gordojanos on the other. By 1400, the Salazar Salcedo quarreled with and allied with the marroquines. The atmosphere of generalized violence endured all over the territory, forcing the lords of Vizcaya and kings of Castile to take action on the matter. It was difficult to impose rules, when the lieutenants of the nobles inevitably used them for their own profit. Therefore, it became necessary to resort to outsiders. Violence began to subside during the last years of the 15th century. There was a change in economic conditions, and both production and population increased: the causes that had led to struggle began to disappear. During the first half of the 16th century, disputes concerning neighbouring municipal borders were resolved: In January 1507, the councils of Güeñes and Gordejuela gathered to mark their respective terms and limits, in order not to contravene the jurisdiction of its justices. On February 27 in the same year, the representatives of these councils proceeded to the demarcation. During this period of time, iron production and the expansion of cultivated areas acquired a very important role. Güeñes also featured another engine that underpinned its demographic expansion: the works of the church of Santa Maria, which provided work for a good number of workers.

On April 17, 1624, the General Meeting of the Lordship of Biscay, contemplating the possibility of an attack by Dutch ships, decided to fortify the ports and coasts and appoint captains in all the villas and parish churches of Vizcaya. In September 1642, Mr. Jacinto Hurtado de Tavisón, permanent mayor of the council of Güeñes, asked for the full incorporation of Güeñes into his manor.

In 1704 there were 202 fires in Güeñes, emerging from a "fogueramiento" (boundary marking fire) continuing throughout this year. This fire was started by the General Meeting of the manor on 28 June, in order to mark the divisions of the estate. From the outbreak of 1766, Güeñes suffered a long series of bad harvests, strong fiscal demands, wars and diseases. This growth forced the regiment to suppress direct taxes between 1772 and 1775 and spread land among neighbours, so that they could increase their resources. The Board of Merindades of 13 August 1799 had determined the full incorporation of the Encartaciones to the Lordship and had approved the conditions of such a union. On 25 May 1800, authorities of the council of Güeñes met in the City Hall. On February 2 a committee was appointed to be responsible for conferring with the authorities of the manor. On 14 July 1800, the General Meetings of Guernica ended up incorporating the Lordship of Güeñes. In the War of 1808 a Gallic detachment settled its headquarters in Sodupe, causing a major upheaval: the war absorbed a high percentage of local agricultural production as "rations" for troops.

Politics
The Basque Nationalist Party (EAJ/PNV) has been governing Güeñes for the last 37 years. These are the elected mayors to date:
 * 1979-1983 	Pedro María Saracho Cortajarena
 * 1983-1987 	Manuel Jarrín Totorica
 * 1987-1991 	Jose María Larrucea Ulibarri
 * 1991-2003 	Guillermo Ibarra Vitorica
 * 2003-2015	Koldo Artaraz Martín
 * 2015-now      Imanol Zuluaga Zamalloa

Proposed deletion of Agoraphobia without history of panic disorder

The article Agoraphobia without history of panic disorder has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: "It seems redundant to have both an article for agoraphobia and agoraphobia without a history of panic disorder. Agoraphobia does not require panic disorder to be diagnosed but is often associated with it, usually preceding it. This would easily fit within the scope of the agoraphobia"

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Good guy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Good guy~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:08, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Sound as Ever

Sound as Ever is the debut album by Australian band You Am I, released in October 1993 via rooArt Records. It was recorded at Pachyderm Studio in rural Cannon Falls, Minnesota, over eight days from July to August 1993 and was produced by Lee Ranaldo, (Sonic Youth) with Wayne Connolly as mixer and audio engineer. It provided three singles, "Adam's Ribs" (October 1993), "Berlin Chair" (February 1994) and "Jaimme's Got a Gal" (May).

Sound as Ever was a departure for Tim Rogers on lead vocals, lead guitar and organ; Andy Kent on bass guitar and backing vocals; and Mark Tunaley on drums, percussion and vocals. They are a back to basics, punk-influenced Australian rock band. Rogers described recording the album, "Lee was the sweetest man in the world and continues to be so. Nirvana had just packed up after In Utero and we were the next ones in, this bunch of little yokels from Australia." Before the album appeared Tunaley was "ousted from the band"; he was eventually replaced by Rusty Hopkinson on drums.

Track listing
The Australian track listing is as follows:

All songs: Rogers/You Am I (except where noted)
 * 1) "Coprolalia"
 * 2) "Berlin Chair"
 * 3) "Trainspottin'"
 * 4) "Adam's Ribs"
 * 5) "Rosedale"
 * 6) "Forever and Easy"
 * 7) "Everyone's to Blame"
 * 8) "Jaimme's Got a Gal"
 * 9) "Who's Leaving You Now?" (Kent, Rogers, You Am I)
 * 10) "Ordinary"
 * 11) "You Scare Me"
 * 12) "Off the Field" (Tunaley, You Am I)
 * 13) "Sound As Ever"

When the album was released in America, "Off the Field" was omitted; while "Coprolalia", "Berlin Chair", "Trainspottin'" and "Jaimme's Got a Gal" were remixed by David Bianco.

2013 reissue
In 2013, You Am I reissued a remastered version of Sound as Ever, with a bonus disc featuring B-sides, out-takes and live recordings. The band also released the album on vinyl for the first time.

This 2013 reissue coincided with reissues for You Am I's subsequent albums Hi Fi Way and Hourly, Daily, which was accompanied by an Australian tour titled the Hi Fi Daily Double Tour.

Personnel

 * Tim Rogers – vocals, guitar, organ
 * Andy Kent – bass guitar, backing vocals
 * Mark Tunaley – drums, percussion, vocals
 * Lee Ranaldo – producer, mixer; additional vocals, guitar and keyboard
 * Wayne Connolly – mixer, audio engineer

Ispaster

Ispaster is a town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, in the autonomous community of Basque Country, northern Spain. According to the 2019 census, it has 735 inhabitants.

Prehistory
The first archaeological artifacts were found in the caves of Kobeaga II and Kobeaga I. The first, located a few kilometers away from the sea, a small group in Mesolithic dedicated to important activity settled as fishing. This settlement, formed by a population of men who fished Mollusca, was founded around 3500 BCE, according to the investigations made by Apellaniz in 1973. The second cave, Kobeaga I, located in the same area as the first, were used as a funeral enclosure during the Bronze Age. In this locality are in addition other deposits without excavating, such as Otoyo'ko Jentilkoba, Jentilkoba de Iparretxe and Urtiaga. The first documented mentions of the municipality of Ispaster date from year 1334, in an order of Alfonso XI.

History
Ispaster is located in a coastal hill, alternating between low and sandy areas to cliffs. The first signs of human occupation are in diverse cavities where a small group lived on fishermen-recolectores during the Mesolithic. Others served like funeral enclosures from the Neolithic. At the beginning of the early modern period, a constructive explosion takes place that turns the municipality in Biscay's best equipped one in gothic-Renaissance popular architecture.

Events
The Grand Prix Ayuntamiento de Ispaster is held in Ispaster.

Izurtza

Izurtza (in Basque and officially, in Spanish Izurza) is an elizate, town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, in the Basque Country, Spain. Izurtza is part of the comarca of Durangaldea and has a population of 270 inhabitants as of 2010 and according to the Spanish National Statistics Institute.

History
As happens with most of the elizates, the origins and date of foundation of the town are unknown. According to the local tales, the tower of Etxaburu, which is located on a hill above the town, was built following the orders of the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius. The tower was afterwards destroyed by Henry IV of Castile and built again in the 16th century by Sancho López de Ibargüen. Also on this century the church of the town, named San Nicolás Obispo was built. Izurtza was part of the merindad of Durango, and it had voice and right to vote in the Juntas of Guerendiaga, where it occupied the seat number eleven.

Location
Izurtza is located in the southeastern part of the province of Biscay, northern Spain. It is one of the smallest municipalities of the province by extension. It limits at north and west with Durango, at south with Mañaria and at east with Abadiño.

Izurtza is situated between the Mugarra and Untxillaitz mountains and the Mañaria River runs through it. The road BI-623 that connects Durango with Vitoria-Gasteiz crosses the town from north to south. Izurtza is made by a small urban core surrounding the BI-623 road and farming houses scattered through the hillsides.

Hydrography
Izurtza is located in a valley formed by the Mañaria river that originates in the hillsides of the mountains and later joins the Ibaizabal river.

Economy
Historically, the economy of the municipality has been linked to the farming exploitations. Since the 20th century, the industrial expansion has caused the primary sector to lose its range as the main economical activity.

Transportation
The transportation is based on road transportation by the BI-623 road, which connects the town with Durango, the capital city of the comarca of Durangaldea and only 1,5 km away. The same road by south connects the town with Mañaria and Urkiola and from there to Otxandio, Dima and the province of Álava. In Durango, the road is connected to the National Road N-634 and the highway AP-8 to Bilbao and Donostia-San Sebastián.

Freshers' flu

Freshers' flu is a name commonly given to a battery of illnesses contracted by new students (freshers) during the first few weeks at a university, and colleges of further education in some form; common symptoms include fever, sore throat, severe headache, coughing and general discomfort. The illnesses may or may not include actual flu and is often simply a bad cold.

Causes
The most likely cause is the convergence of large numbers of people arriving from all over the world; this is a particularly elevated risk due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The poor diet and heavy consumption of alcohol during freshers' week is also reported as a cause for many of the illnesses contracted during this time. "Stress, which may be induced by tiredness, combined with a poor diet, late nights and too much alcohol, can weaken the immune system and be a recipe for ill health. All this can make students and staff working with the students more susceptible to infections within their first weeks of term." In addition to this, nearly all university academic years in the UK commence around the end of September or beginning of October, which "marks the start of the annual flu season". The increased susceptibility to illness from late nights, heavy alcohol consumption and stress peaks 2–4 weeks after arrival at university and happens to coincide with the seasonal surge in the outbreaks of colds and flu in the Northern Hemisphere.

Other effects
As well as the usual viral effects, freshers' flu can also have some psychological effects. These effects arise where the stress of leaving home and other consequences of being independent, not to mention various levels of homesickness and the attempts at making new friends, can further weaken the immune system, increasing susceptibility to illness.
