Andreas Stöberl

Andreas Stöberl (c. 1464 in Pleiskirchen near Altötting – September 3, 1515 in Vienna), better known by his latinised name Andreas Stiborius (Boius), was a German humanist astronomer, mathematician, and theologian working mainly at the University of Vienna.

Life
Stöberl studied from 1479 on at the University of Ingolstadt, where he became a magister in 1484, and subsequently a member of the Faculty of Arts. At Ingolstadt, he met and became a friend of Conrad Celtis, an eminent advocate of humanism who lectured there between 1492 and 1497. When Celtis moved to Vienna in 1497, Stöberl followed his mentor. Stiborius was a member of the Sodalitas Litterarum Danubiana, a circle of humanists founded by Celtis. In 1502 he became one of two professors for mathematics (the other was Johannes Stabius, his friend from Ingolstadt ) at the Collegium poetarum et mathematicorum, founded on Celtis' initiative by emperor Maximilian I the year before, as a part of the University of Vienna. At the Collegium, he taught courses in astronomy and astrology, as he did later at the University, where he got a chair at the Collegium ducale in 1503. Stiborius was a gifted teacher and well-liked by his students. In 1507 or 1508 he became a canon at St. Stephen's, and until his death in 1515 in Vienna he was also parish priest in Stockerau, where he was buried.

Works
At Vienna, Stiborius worked with Georg Tannstetter, who came to Vienna from Ingolstadt in Autumn 1502. Together they became the most prominent exponents of the "Second Viennese School of Mathematics" (the first having been the circle around Johann von Gmunden, Georg von Peuerbach, and Regiomontanus). Tannstetter, in his Viri Mathematici names both Stabius and Stiborius as his teachers.

As editor, Stiborius published an edition of Robert Grosseteste's Libellus Linconiensis de Phisicis lineis, angulis et figuris, per quas omnes acciones naturales complentur in 1503.

For Tannstetter's edition Tabulae Eclypsium..., which was published in 1514 and contained tables of eclipses of Georg von Peuerbach and the primi mobilis tables of Regiomontanus, Stiborius wrote two prefaces.

In preparation of the 10th session of the 5th council of the Lateran, Pope Leo X requested in October 1514 from various rulers to have their scientists offer proposals on the calendar reform. Emperor Maximilian gave the task to Stiborius and Tannstetter in Vienna, and to Johannes Stöffler at Tübingen. Stiborius and Tannstetter proposed to omit one leap year every 134 years, and to drop the 19-year metonic cycle used by the Church to calculate the Easter date. Instead of the metonic cycle, they proposed to simply use the true astronomic calculation for the full moon dates to determine Paschal Full Moon. Furthermore, they pointed out that the true astronomic March equinox and full moons, on which the whole calculation of the Easter date and thus other Church holidays was based, would occur at different times, sometimes even different dates in places at different longitudes around the globe, leading to Church holidays falling on different days in different places. They recommended to use universally the equinox at the Meridian of Jerusalem or Rome. Tanstetter and Stiborius's calendar reform proposal was published as ''Super requisitione sanctissimi Leonis Papae X. et divi Maximiliani Imp. p.f. Aug. De Romani Calendarii correctione Consilium in Florentissimo studio Viennensi Anustriae conscriptum et aeditum'' ca. 1515 by the printer Johannes Singriener in Vienna. As it turned out, the whole topic of the calendar reform was not even discussed at the fifth Lateran Council.

Tannstetter gives in his Viri Mathematici a list of books in Stiborius's library, and also a list of works written by the latter himself. He mentions a five-volume Opus Umbrarum ("Work of Shadows"), in which Stiborius treated various astronomical and mathematical topics such as cartographic projections, the theory and use of the astrolabe, including the saphea, the construction of sundials, and others. The work was the basis of his lectures in Vienna; it appears never to have been published though. A partial copy made in 1500 of these lecture notes has survived.

Legacy
The lunar crater Stiborius is named after him.

Will Allen Dromgoole

Will Allen Dromgoole (October 26, 1860 – September 1, 1934) was an author and poet born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. She wrote over 7,501 poems; 5,000 essays; and published thirteen books. She was renowned beyond the South; her poem "The Bridge Builder" was often reprinted. It remains quite popular. The final stanza of the poem appears on a plaque at the Bellows Falls, Vermont Vilas Bridge, spanning the Connecticut River between southern Vermont and New Hampshire.

Early life and background
Will Allen Dromgoole was the last of several daughters born to Rebecca Mildred (Blanche) and John Easter Dromgoole in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Her paternal grandparents were Rev. Thomas and Fanny Dromgoole. Her great-grandparents were Edward Dromgoole, an Irish minister from Sligo, Ireland, and his wife, Rebecca Walton. He married her after immigrating to the North American colonies.

Dromgoole's parents sent her to the Clarksville Female Academy, where she graduated in 1876. She studied law with her father, but women were not allowed to become lawyers. She was appointed as staff to the state legislature, where she started working in 1883.

Career
Dromgoole was a prolific writer, publishing both prose and poetry. She was also a journalist for the Nashville American, a newspaper based in the Middle Tennessee city. She first published a story in Youth's Companion in 1887. It was about the Tennessee governor, Bob Taylor. She had a best-selling novel in 1911, The Island of the Beautiful.

She taught school in Tennessee one year, and one year in Temple, Texas, where she founded the Waco Women's Press Club in 1894. During World War I, Dromgoole was a warrant officer in the United States Naval Reserve. She lectured to sailors on patriotic topics.

Dromgoole wrote a series of articles on the Southeastern ethnic group known as the Melungeons, published in the Nashville Daily American (1890) and the Boston Arena (1891). This historically mixed-race group was then living mostly in northeastern Tennessee, southwestern Virginia, and eastern Kentucky. Her derogatory comments about them, while based more on hearsay than fact, expressed the biases about mountain people typical of her society and the period in which she was writing. Since the early 20th century, Melungeons have increasingly intermarried with European Americans and integrated into mainstream white society.

Books

 * Heart of Old Hickory and Other Stories (1891);
 * The Farrier's Dog and His Fellow (1897);
 * The Fortunes of the Fellow (1898)
 * Further Adventures of the Fellow (1898);
 * Valley Path (1898);
 * Three Little Crackers (1898);
 * Hero Chums (1898);
 * Rare Old Chums (1898);
 * A Boy's Battle (1898);
 * Cinch, and Other Tales of Tennessee (1898);
 * A Moonshiner's Son (1898);
 * Harum-Scarum Joe (1899);
 * The Battle on Stone River (1899)
 * The Island of Beautiful Things: A Romance of the South (1912)

Later years
She wrote more than 7,500 poems, among them "The Bridge Builder". An excerpt appears on a plaque on the Bellows Fall-Vilas Bridge between the two respective cities in Vermont and New Hampshire. It spans the Connecticut River. The poem is frequently quoted in a religious context or in writings stressing a moral lesson. In addition, she wrote a weekly column, "Song and Story," in the Nashville Banner from 1904 until her death in 1934, published thirteen books, and two newspaper articles about the Melungeons in the Nashville Daily American which were later included as revised essays in The Arena magazine out of Boston. (At the time she referred to them as Malungeons, one of numerous spelling variations on the name.)

Hypolimnas

Hypolimnas is a genus of tropical brush-footed butterflies commonly known as eggflies or diadems. The genus contains approximately 23 species, most of which are found in Africa, Asia, and Oceania. One species, the Danaid eggfly (H. misippus), is noted for its exceptionally wide distribution across five continents; it is the only Hypolimnas species found in the Americas.

Eggflies are known for their marked sexual dimorphism and Batesian mimicry of poisonous milkweed butterflies (Danainae). For example, the Danaid eggfly mimics Danaus chrysippus while the great eggfly (H. bolina) mimics the Australian crow (Euploea core). In each case, the eggfly mimics the danainid's markings, thus adopting the latter's distasteful reputation to predators without being poisonous itself.

Odontotaenius disjunctus

Odontotaenius disjunctus, the patent-leather beetle or horned passalus, is a saproxylic beetle in the family Passalidae (bess beetles) which can grow to just over an inch-and-a-half long, weigh 1-2 grams and are capable of pulling 50 times their own weight. They have been used to study several aspects of general family characteristics since the early 1900s but remain a relatively unknown species within the diverse Coleoptera order.

Distribution
Odontotaenius disjunctus is most commonly found in climates with higher humidity, mainly in the warmer parts of both hemispheres, and also widely distributed in temperate North American forests. O. disjunctus beetles are usually found under, or inside, old logs or stumps and are rarely observed outside of their wooden habitats.

General life history
These beetles can be found in rotting logs, especially of oak and hickory. This specific locale offers unique benefits in regards to protection from predators and external abiotic factors such temperature and precipitation. There is a level of stability with the two factors mentioned, the water retention in the wood helps to keep temperatures stable while aiding in further decomposition of the log itself. The regulation of this environment allows for both day and night activity. Larvae can reach adulthood in as little as 3 months due to a rich food source, with the average lifespan of an adulthood being up to one year. Adults are only found outside of their log when they are searching for a new mate, or a new log in which to burrow. Daily movements tend to be limited to within their log, any movements outside of the log are not as predictable and occur much less frequently.

Biology
These beetles are shiny black, and have many long grooves on their elytra. They have a small horn between their eyes, and clubbed antennae. Females and males are difficult to distinguish based on external appearances alone. There appears to be little to no sexual dimorphism between the two sexes, both tend to be equal in size and overall strength capabilities. Their large size may be in part a result of exploiting a niche that provides an unlimited food source of rotting wood material. Although flight is possible, these beetles predominantly walk as their main form of locomotion, they will walk long distances rather than flying. Parasitic infections are common but not well known, external and internal parasites have been documented. A nematode parasite, Chondronema passali, inhabits the abdominal cavity has been shown to effect stress responses in these beetles, although the results are relatively small, they do show that O. disjunctus is not only infected by parasites but are negatively impacted by them. Males will often compete for females and territory like most beetle species, using their horn-like structure to flip and overturn their opponents. The strength of these beetles also tends to increase in times of stress, however, even in times without stimulation male beetles will exert an impressive amount of force onto a target.

Feeding habits
Patent-leather beetles like to eat logs of certain trees, in which the wood is dead and decaying. They eat deciduous trees, such as oaks and elm. Wood inhabited by these beetles is usually well decomposed and falls apart readily. This unique food source prevents competition as these beetles have chosen a food source that is not highly sought after by other organisms due to the material being indigestible for most. Adults feed primarily on wood, while larvae stages eat materials composed of fungi, wood and parental secretions. Wood consumed by the beetles is digested with the help of a "fiber-associated microbiome" in the anterior hindgut that is composed of Lactococcus and Turicibacter. Interestingly, their ecology and approach to symbiotic digestion is similar to wood-feeding cockroaches of the subfamily Panesthiinae, that also appear to rely on a similar contribution from their hindgut microbiomes. Burrowing within rotting logs offers the triturated wood that is a staple in the diet of these beetles, this wood is consumed widely by the males and then further broken down through the digestive tract, and eventually expelled for the eventual re- consumption by all family members.

Social systems
When disturbed, adults can produce a squeaking sound by rubbing their wings on the abdomen. This is called stridulation, and is often easy to hear, both adult and larvae are capable of producing these sounds. This is used for communication within the colony, to communicate danger, courtship, disturbance and solo activities. These four general categories can be further examined into more specific signals and patterns. The acoustic repertoire of O. disjunctus can be broken down into bars, pulses and phonatomes, these are used to identify intra- and interspecific variations. These sounds are produced specifically from when areas of the sixth abdominal tergite rasp against an area on the ventral side of each folded metathoracic wing.

Many patent-leather beetles may live together in a colony in the same log and several colonies may be found within the same rotting log depending on the size. However, only one pair of beetles is typically found in a single tunnel/burrow system, but a single large log may offer space for multiple pairs to be present.

Reproduction
These beetles make tunnels in the wood; inside the galleries, the beetles will mate, lay eggs, and watch over their offspring. The adults feed the larvae a chewed-up mixture of wood chips and feces. The larvae cannot feed themselves and take a year to develop. Being presocial beetles, the larvae are typically taken care of by the parents and young offspring. This cooperative brood care is beneficial to all individuals involved, larvae receive optimal care and young adults are able remain in the burrow to increase fitness and wait for favorable conditions before exiting the log.

Offspring rely heavily on parental care for protection and nourishment, food is mixed with secretions by the parent before the larvae can feed. Reproduction appears to be affected by seasonality, with summer months being the time in which females lay majority of their eggs. O. disjunctus remain in monogamous pairs, during the breeding season (early spring until late summer) they will repeatedly copulate and produce anywhere from 20 to 35 eggs over the time period. Offspring remain in the parental tunnel for the rest of the year, overwinter, and then disperse in the following late spring. Infanticidal behavior has been observed, and is most likely to occur in the event of a burrow take over by a male or female that has not yet had the chance to mate due to limited access to an empty burrow.

Anthropological impacts
The patent-leather beetle is considered beneficial in its activities to decompose dead wood, and is harmless to humans. The increase in habitat loss due to deforestation for agriculture has caused a decline in populations as they do not react well to fragmentation. Studies reveal that a decrease in suitable habitat and increased open areas between forests have been the two leading causes of population decline and potential extirpation of some areas. Shrinking habitat would also cause an increase in competition and infanticidal behaviors, further straining reproductive success.

International Sociological Association

The International Sociological Association (ISA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to scientific purposes in the field of sociology and social sciences. It is an international sociological body, gathering both individuals and national sociological organizations. The ISA was founded in 1949 under UNESCO and it has about 6,000 individual and 45 collective members, hailing from 167 countries. Its sole purpose is to "represent sociologists everywhere, regardless of their school of thought, scientific approaches or ideological opinion" and its objective is to "advance sociological knowledge throughout the world". Along with the Institut International de Sociologie (IIS), it is seen as a world-leading international sociological organization.

ISA is a member of the International Social Science Council with the status of the non-governmental organization in formal associate relations with UNESCO and special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

The ISA's international conference is held every four years, the last of which, the XVIIIth World Congress of Sociology was held in Yokohama, Japan, in July 2014. ISA also organizes a number of smaller conferences, and publishes two peer-reviewed academic journals: Current Sociology and International Sociology.

ISA's first president (1949–1952) was Louis Wirth. The current president (2023–2027) is Geoffrey Pleyers, Belgium.

Origins
The history of ISA can be traced to the 1948 initiative of UNESCO's Social Science Department. The initiative was part of a larger plan aiming together to reform the social sciences worldwide, by improving the ties between scholars worldwide "to promote research in fields crucial to establishments of a peaceful world order". sociological associations existed only in Belgium, Brazil, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United States, with about twenty four more countries having sociologist represented in a different type of an institution. The Institut International de Sociologie (IIS), founded in 1893, was deemed too limited, and it was decided that a new organization needs to be created. In the end, representatives from 21 countries were invited for a Constituent Congress, held in Oslo on 5–11 September 1949. The original stated purpose of the organization was "to advance sociological knowledge throughout the world" through measures including developing "personal contacts between sociologists" in different regions and encouraging "international dissemination and exchange of information". A provisional Council was appointed, as were an Executive Secretary, Treasurer, and the Secretariat personnel; statutes were adopted. SA's first president was Louis Wirth. The first ISA conference was planned for 1950.

Activities
In 1952 ISA begun publishing an academic journal, Current Sociology. 1971 marked the introduction of the official newsletter, the ISA Bulletin. In 1986 ISA launched International Sociology, a peer-reviewed journal published six times annually and provided to all members. International Sociology also has a child publication, a bi-annual International Sociology Review of Books. Other ISA's publications include the book series Sage Studies in International Sociology Books and ISA Handbooks. It also has published its own code of ethics.

ISA organizes World Congress of Sociology and Forum of Sociology (every four years). In addition ISA organizes a number of smaller, regional and thematic conferences.

Organization
The statutes of ISA were first amended during the World Congress at Varna, and were subsequently amended again in 1974 at Toronto, 1978 at Uppsala, 1982 at Mexico City, 1986 at New Delhi, 1994 at Bielefeld and 2010 at Gothenburg.

At first, the governing body of ISA was the council of national representatives. The council elected the executive committee, which was composed of a President, three Vice-presidents, an Executive Secretary, and six other members. In 1970 ISA allowed general individual membership (previously it focused on organizational membership). Since then, ISA has both individual and collective members. Currently, the Council of National Associations is supplemented by the Research Council, which is composed individual representatives of all Research Committees. The two Councils hold the Assembly of Councils at the Congresses every four years, electing the President and other officials.

Scientific activities of the ISA occur under the auspices of research committees that gather sociologists interested in similar subfields or topics within sociology. there were 59 such groups with a total membership of 4442 individuals. The two largest groups at that time were Migration and Social Stratification. ISA webpages listed 55 Research Committees, 3 Working Groups and 5 Thematic Groups. ISA had 45 national associations as its members. Currently its members come from 167 countries.

The ISA Junior Sociologists Network (JSN) is a global network of students, early-career academics and practitioners to share information and create collaborations.

ISA offices have changed their location several times; since 1987 they are located are in Madrid, Spain. Although at its beginning, the ISA's budget consisted mainly of UNESCO funds, the modern ISA budget is primarily (90%) composed of membership dues and sales of publications; only 10% comes from grants of UNESCO/ISSC.

The ISA is a member of the International Social Science Council with the status of the non-governmental organization in formal associate relations with UNESCO and special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

The recognized languages of the ISA are English, French and Spanish; English is the organization's administrative language.

ISA World Congresses
Since 1962, the ISA World Congress has taken place every four years in a different location; before that period, the Congresses were held every three years. The programme of the association and the number of participants at the congresses have grown rapidly since the first Congress met in Zürich, Switzerland (1950) with about 150 participants; the 1994 congress in Bielefeld, Germany, attracted 3,678 participants.

ISA Forums
The idea of the Forum gathers and redefines the traditionally organized ISA Research Council conference and the interim conferences of ISA Research Committees. It was an event with two kinds of programs: a general program conceived as a dialogue between Research Committees and made up of the papers presented by the RCs' delegates to the Research Council conference, and the parallel programs of the RCs organized by them. ISA Forums have been held in Barcelona (2008), Buenos Aires (2012), and Vienna (2016).

ISA Award for Excellence in Research and Practice
The ISA Award for Excellence in Research and Practice was established in March 2013. It is awarded to a sociologist who advances and promotes sociological knowledge and practice through outstanding contributions to the discipline, the profession, and the ISA. The award is presented every four years at the World Congress of the International Sociological Association at a special ISA awards ceremony. Immanuel Wallerstein was the first recipient of the award at the ISA World Congress of Sociology, Yokohama, Japan, 2014.

Foundation Mattei Dogan Award
A prominent sociologist is awarded the "Foundation Mattei Dogan Prize" in Sociology in recognition of their lifelong contributions to the progress of the field. After 2010, the prize awarded every four years at the ISA World Congress was discontinued. This award continued for other disciplines of the social sciences.

Survey on most influential works in sociology
In 1997, ISA conducted a survey of its membership to identify the 20th century's most influential books in sociology. Members were asked to name the five books that had the most influence on their own professional work. There were 455 respondents (16% of ISA's members), of whom 20.9% named Economy and Society by Max Weber, placing it first on the ISA list. The list was unveiled at the 1998 ISA congress.

List of ISA Presidents
The following individuals held or hold the title of ISA president:
 * 1) 1949–1952 Louis Wirth, US
 * 2) 1953–1956 Robert C. Angell, US
 * 3) 1956–1959 Georges Friedmann, France

Aoi no Ue

Aoi no Ue (葵の上) is a fictional character in The Tale of Genji (Genji Monogatari). Daughter of the Minister of the Left (Tō no Chūjō's sister) and Genji's first principal wife, she marries Genji when she is sixteen and he is only twelve. Proud and distant from her husband, Aoi is constantly aware of the age difference between them and very much hurt by Genji's philandering. Aoi temporarily gains Genji's favour after giving birth to his son Yūgiri and experiencing spells of spirit possession. The episode of spirit possession itself (mono no ke) is extremely controversial and brings forward two female characters of the tale: Aoi (Genji's wife) and Lady Rokujō (Genji's mistress). The relationship between the two women may be that between victim and aggressor, if one follows the traditional interpretation of spirit possession, Aoi dies at the end of the "Aoi" chapter and her exit from the tale is thus definitive.

Aoi no Ue is also the title of a Noh play about her, translated as Lady of the Court, or in the modern version by Yukio Mishima, The Lady Aoi.

Aoi no Ue is the Senior Minister of State family's daughter and Hikaru Genji's formal wife. She was seriously ill and possessed by a phantom which was caused by Hikaru Genji's first lover Rokujō. While her family struggled to recover her and attempted various cures, nothing was able to bring her back to normal. Then her family decided to invite the master of the art of Azusa, Priestess Teruhi, in order to identify the causation of the fantom. Priestess Teruhi used a bow which is made of Japanese cherry birch and called fourth fantoms with the sound. Also, the Priestess Teruhi trapped the phantom, and he found the spirit was Genji's first lover and the deceased crown prince's wife Lady Rokujō (Rokujō no Miyasundokoro) who was a very sophisticated noble lady. Although after losing Genji's attention she decided to secretly visit the festival parade which Genji attended. Then she found Lady Aoi and felt jealous, and beats and hates Genji's younger lover, lady Aoi.

Marriage
Aoi no Ue and Hikaru Genji's marriage was the first marriage for Genji which was a political marriage. Furthermore, they were not a well-matched couple and not a love match couple. Aoi no Ue got pregnant in the 9th year of marriage and the relationship started turning out well. Genji has demonstrated his wife, Aoi no Ue, as an angularly dissatisfiedly and cold person, although in fact, her character was kind and warm. Thus, Genji probably did not see the real part of Aoi no Ue during the beginning of the relationship. Later on, Aoi no Ue gave birth to Yūgiri (a boy), although he was murdered by the spirit of Rokujō no Miyasudokoro.

The Tale of Genji
The Tale of Genji was written by Murasaki Shikibu, who was the lady-in-waiting and a noblewoman in the early 11th century. The main character of The Tale of Genji is Hikaru Genji who is known as a super genius and handsome man. Moreover, He is the Japanese emperor's second son. The stories are about the love relationships that Genji was with a wide variety of women. In the written story, Aoi no Ue was possessed by a baleful force, and Genji found that the cause was his former mistress, Lady Rokujō. Lady Rokujō was Genji's first lover, who despite finding him much younger than herself, sought to be his only lover. Later, Genji showed a proclivity to be attracted to other beautiful women and subsequently ended up with 13 other different lovers. Rokujō's hurt pride and rancour smoldered and flared into extreme jealousy and violence. Then, it turned her spirit into a malevolent spirit while she was alive and decided to destroy and pursue Genji's most treasured love, Aoi no Ue. Then Genji heard a voice saying 'Stop for a moment, please. I want to speak to [Prince] Genji'. Genji suddenly realised the voice from Aoi no Ue's body was not actually her voice, although it was Lady Rokujō's voice. After he heard the voice and realised that was Lady Rokujō, he was extremely afraid and forced to drive back. Although the attack caused by Lady Rokujō was not on purpose to attack Aoi no Ue and it was an accident triggered between two women. Lady Rokujō felt heavily humiliated and her emotion which was overwrought came out from her body as a spirit flew into the young pregnant Aoi's body. Although it was not only Rokujō's spirit that flew into Aoi no Ue's body but also other aimless and loose spirits trying to find an undefended body. Lady Rokujō died several years later everything happened and Genji reached middle-age, and he decided to mention Lady Rokujō as his second wife. Genji blamed himself because of the negative ending and the fact that it was caused by his mistake. Also, he was affirmed that it might happen again and hoped that she will forgive him.

Noh and Buddhism
Buddhism is one of the most popular religions and is believed by many people. Buddhism arrived in Japan from Korea and China in the sixth century. Although it was ordinated a thousand years ago in India. More than half of the Buddhists believe that people's illness and sickness, such as misfortunes was from the past spirits, and herbal medicine was one of the medications that were believed to save people. Such as the story of Aoi no Ue in The Tale of Genji, Aoi no Ue's family tried to save her life by the way Buddhism treats other spiritual sicknesses. Lady Murasaki, the author of The Tale of Genji, was a follower of the Mahayana Buddhism herself; many other other stories in The Tale of Genji relate to Buddhism. There are a lot of Buddhism stories played in Noh which is traditional Japanese entertainment, and The Tale of Genji is one of the most popular Noh in Japan.

Aoi Ue also appears as a character in the Salman Rushdie 1995 novel, The Moor's Last Sigh.

most definately, how does the french wikipedia entry compare? it's always a shame that on a lot of European topics you go to the English wikipedia page (if not deleted as a low interest article) and you just run to the French Italian or German ones and translate them. I think it's a shame because it's like having an Encyclopedia Britannica that excludes 90% of the French and German authors or famous figures,due to being foreign, thus low interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.31.165.138 (talk) 22:39, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Hyundai FB

The Hyundai FB (hangul: 현대 에프비, 현대FB) is a line of front engine bus built by Hyundai Motor Company.

They are commonly referred to as "FB", as in Front engine Bus.

In Japan, Asia-Pacific, Mid-East, Africa, South America, its principal competitors are Asia AM907, Daewoo BF101/BF105,

Model concept
The FB bus and coach chassis evolved from designs by the Hyundai Motor Company's Thames commercial vehicle subsidiary. The engine was mounted at the front of the vehicle, ahead of the front-wheel-driven front and rear axles.

The original Hyundai FB485 and FB500 models later became the benchmark vehicles for a program of constant revision. New models were developed to replace the FB485 and FB500 in 1986, using the same front engine system. The floor height of the new vehicles was lowered, with the supercharged diesel engine tilted over to one side to accommodate this.

The FB designs were popular with South Korean bus companies in the 1980s, as considerable financial assistance was available to operators for fleet renewal. However, following the election of a more Conservative government in 1988 and the beginning of recession, demand for new buses declined rapidly and production of the FB range was halted.

Only a small number now remain in passenger use in South Korea, but many have been adapted for private use as tour buses and stock car transporters.

Models

 * FB 485: Economy Bus of urban & suburban bus
 * FB 500: Economy & City Bus of urban & suburban bus

User:Quarg

A UK-based environmental scientist, currently seconded into one of the English capital's transport organisations.

The username comes from a series of reports published by the Quality of Urban Air Review Group (QUARG) in the mid-1990s. QUARG is still the best set of reports on that aspect of life.

I have been categorized (with uncanny accuracy) by User:Maylett as "a newbie who hasn't developed an appropriate encyclopaedic writing style". That was in the VFD for the article 20 minutes on the Tube equals one cigarette, which I regret to say was VFD'd three hours after appearing.

Maylett's assesssment is harsh, but true.

That article, it's magazine-article style and godawful title are entirely my fault. Anyone who thought it or its title was bollocks is invited to leave a message on my talk page.

If you voted to delete it because it's original research, please explain why; and before you do, read all my references! Is it (unacceptable) "original research" to:

 * take a well-established, oft-quoted, utterly misleading claim;
 * carefully tear it to shreds using documented data (including the original source at UCL!);
 * point readers towards the best real assessments.

To make a crude analogy, is Wikipedia here to record that the moon is claimed to be made of ferritic rocks, then give equal credence to the claim that it is pure gruyere?

Dynamic Logical Partitioning

Dynamic Logical Partitioning (DLPAR), is the capability of a logical partition (LPAR) to be reconfigured dynamically, without having to shut down the operating system that runs in the LPAR. DLPAR enables memory, CPU capacity, and I/O interfaces to be moved nondisruptively between LPARs within the same server.

DLPAR has been supported by the operating systems AIX and IBM i on almost all POWER4 and follow-on POWER systems since then. The Linux kernel for POWER also supported DLPAR, but its dynamic reconfiguration capabilities were limited to CPU capacity and PCI devices, but not memory. In October 2009, seven years after the AIX announcement of DLPAR of memory, CPU and IO slots, Linux finally added the capability to DLPAR memory on POWER systems. The fundamentals of DLPAR are described in the IBM Systems Journal paper titled: "Dynamic reconfiguration: Basic building blocks for autonomic computing on IBM pSeries Servers.

Later on, the POWER5 processor added enhanced DLPAR capabilities, including micro-partitioning: up to 10 LPARs can be configured per processor, with a single multiprocessor server supporting a maximum of 254 LPARs (and thus up to 254 independent operating system instances).

There are many interesting applications of DLPAR capabilities. Primarily, it is used to build agile infrastructures, or to automate hardware system resource allocation, planning, and provisioning. This in turn results in increased system utilization. For example, memory, processor or I/O slots can be added, removed or moved to another LPAR, without rebooting the operating system or the application running in an LPAR. IBM DB2 is such application (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/articles/db2_dlpar.html), it is aware of the DLPAR events and automatically tunes itself to changing LPAR resources.

The IBM Z mainframes and their operating systems, including Linux on IBM Z, support even more sophisticated forms of dynamic LPARs. Relevant LPAR-related features on those mainframe platforms include Intelligent Resource Director, Sysplex, Parallel Sysplex, Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex, and HiperSockets. The System z9 supports up to 60 LPARs on a single server, but mainframes also support an additional level of virtualization using z/VM with the ability to support thousands of operating system instances on a single server.

Red flag (idiom)

A red flag could either be a literal red flag used for signaling or, as a metaphor, a sign of some particular problem requiring attention.

Background
The term and the expression "to raise the red flag" come from various usages of real flags throughout history. A red flag is frequently flown by armed forces to warn the public of live fire exercises in progress, and is sometimes flown by ships carrying munitions (in this context it is actually the flag for the letter B in the international maritime signal flag alphabet, a red swallow-tailed flag). Red flags have also been used in the medical field during position interviews because of the importance of finding the right candidates for the positions. They have also been used to identify fraud in many cases.

In many countries a red flag is flown to signify that an outdoor shooting range is in use. The United States Air Force refers to its largest annual exercise as Red Flag operation. Red flags are used for various signals in team sailing races (see Racing Rules of Sailing). A red flag warning is a signal of high wildfire danger, and a red flag on the beach warns of dangerous water conditions (double red flags indicate beach closure). Red flags of various designs indicate dangerous wind and wave conditions for mariners. In auto racing, a red flag indicates that a race has been stopped.

A study that was done on college students examines the pervasive issue of sexual and dating violence on college campuses and evaluates the effectiveness of the Red Flag Campaign (RFC), a widely implemented prevention program. The research found that exposure to the campaign increased students' confidence in intervening as bystanders. The results suggest that the RFC is effective in promoting prosocial bystander behavior, with recommendations provided for its implementation on college campuses.

In 1861, a new law in Britain set speed limits for traction engines and allowed people to request daytime bans if the engines were dangerous or annoying. Starting in 1862, these bans made it harder to use agricultural engines during the day. By 1865, another law reduced speed limits even more and required someone to walk 60 yards ahead with a red flag to warn people and stop the engine if horses got scared. This was seen as either a necessary safety measure or an obstacle to progress.

A signal of danger or a problem can be referred to as a red flag, a usage that originated in the 18th century. An infamous example of use of a red flag in warfare is Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna's use of the symbol to let his Texian opposition in the Alamo know that he intended to spare none of the defending slavers (on which he followed through, though the slaves were spared and freed). The term "red flag" is used, e.g., during screening of communications, and refers to specific words or phrases encountered that might indicate relevance to the case. For example, email spam filters make use of such "red flags". A red flag can also be used to indicate a small problem that could lead to larger problems in the future.

Audrey Horne (band)

Audrey Horne is a hard rock band from Bergen, Norway. Formed in 2002, the band took its name from Sherilyn Fenn's character in the TV series Twin Peaks. The band's musical style is a mixture of heavy and melodic classic rock, inspired by Iron Maiden, Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. As of 2022, Audrey Horne has released seven studio albums, one live album and one EP.

2002–2006: Formation and debut album
Audrey Horne was formed in 2002 by guitarist Thomas Tofthagen (Sahg), bassist Tom Cato Visnes (Gorgoroth, I, God Seed, Sahg, Ov Hell) and drummer Kjetil Greve (Deride), with vocalist Torkjell "Toschie" Rød (Sylvia Wane), guitarist Arve Isdal (Enslaved, I) and keyboardist Herbrand Larsen (Enslaved) completing the band's lineup. The band's name was suggested by a member who was watching Twin Peaks at the time. Although most of the members were associated with or would go on to play in bands with a more extreme or progressive sound, Audrey Horne was conceived as a hard rock band rooted in classic and heavy rock.

The band released the EP Confessions & Alcohol and their debut album No Hay Banda in 2005. The album was recorded at Earshot Studio in Bergen and produced by the band and Joe Barresi. The producer, known for his work with Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss, reduced his usual salary to work with the band. No Hay Banda received good reviews and the band won a Norwegian Spellemann Award in the Metal category, in addition to being nominated for Newcomer of the Year, in 2005. The band toured the club scene and different festivals in Norway throughout the year.

2007–2008: Lineup changes and Le Fol
In 2007, keyboardist Larsen and bassist Visnes left the band, with the latter wanting to focus on Gorgoroth and Sahg, and the former needing more time for his job as a primary school teacher and playing with Enslaved. Later that year, Audrey Horne released their second studio album, Le Fol, produced by guitarist Isdal, and co-produced and mixed by former keyboardist Larsen, who also contributed keyboard parts. Like its predecessor, the album was recorded at Earshot Studio. Le Fol received good reviews in both Norwegian and international press and earned Audrey Horne a Spellemann Award nomination in the Metal category.

The band progressed from playing mainly club shows in Norway to playing clubs and festivals in Europe, and went on a European tour with Enslaved and Kraków in November and December 2008. The tour took the band through Denmark, Germany, Belgium, United Kingdom, Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Sweden, before ending in Norway. The touring schedule took a toll on vocalist Rød's voice to the point where he could hardly sing towards the end of the tour and caused him to stop smoking.

2009–2014: Audrey Horne, Youngblood and Pure Heavy

In 2009, the band reunited with producer Barresi at his studio in Los Angeles to record their self-titled album. Drums, guitars and vocals were first recorded at Barresi's studio, before the band returned to Bergen and the expanded Earshot Studio, Conclave & Earshot Studio, to record bass, keyboards and additional vocals and guitar tracks. The album was mixed by Barresi at his studio and featured then-touring bassist Espen Lien and keyboard contributions by touring member Eyolf Nysæther and Herbrand Larsen, the latter also serving as a recording engineer. The album was released in 2010 and received good reviews. Bassist Lien officially joined the band in 2012.

In 2013, Audrey Horne released their fourth studio album, Youngblood. The band made changes to their songwriting process by writing the songs in the rehearsal studio with all the members, as opposed to their usual approach of guitarists Isdal and Tofthagen writing music on their own and Rød writing melody lines, harmonies and lyrics. Audrey Horne toured Europe in support of the show, including several festival appearances. The band followed up Youngblood in 2014 with the album Pure Heavy, capitalising on a creative period for the band and the writing process that had been used on their last album.

2015–2019: touring, other commitments and Blackout
The years following the release of Pure Heavy was spent touring and playing festivals in Norway and Europe, while the members of the band also focused on other commitments and musical projects. In 2018, the band released their sixth album, Blackout. The album received good reviews, and Audrey Horne played several European festivals and other tour dates later that year and in 2019.

2020–present: first live album and Devil's Bell
In February 2020, the band released their first live album, Waiting for the Night, with recordings from their shows at USF Verftet and Bergenfest in Bergen in 2018. A tour with Formosa and Magick Touch started in March, but was cancelled after five shows due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Audrey Horne released their seventh studio album, Devil's Bells, in 2022.

Lekythos

A lekythos (λήκυθος; : lekythoi) is a type of ancient Greek vessel used for storing oil, especially olive oil. It has a narrow body and one handle attached to the neck of the vessel, and is thus a narrow type of jug, with no pouring lip; the oinochoe is more like a modern jug. In the "shoulder" and "cylindrical" types which became the most common, especially the latter, the sides of the body are usually vertical by the shoulder, and there is then a sharp change of direction as the neck curves in; the base and lip are normally prominent and flared. However, there are a number of varieties, and the word seems to have been used even more widely in ancient times than by modern archeologists. They are normally in pottery, but there are also carved stone examples.

Lekythoi were especially associated with funerary rites, and with the white ground technique of vase painting, which was too fragile for most items in regular use. Because of their handle they were normally only decorated with one image, on the other side from the handle; they are often photographed with the handle hidden, to show the painted image.

Function
The lekythos was used for anointing unmarried women's dead bodies, and many lekythoi are found in tombs. The images on lekythoi were often depictions of daily activities or rituals. Because they are so often used in funerary situations, they may also depict funerary rites, a scene of loss, or a sense of departure as a form of funerary art. These are usually outline drawings that are quite expressionless and somber. The decoration of these ceramic vessels consists of dull red and black paint. These colors may have been derived from the Bronze Age, but were not used until 530 BC in Athens. Many artists of these vessels attempted to add more color to the figures, but later abandoned the idea, which provides more of a contrast. These vessels were very popular during the 5th century BC, however, many have been found dating back to 700 BC.

They contained a perfumed oil which was offered either to the dead person or to the gods of the underworld. Some lekythoi were fitted with a small, inner chamber, limiting the amount of oil required to fill them. The lekythos was used to smear perfumed oil on a woman's skin prior to getting married and were often placed in tombs of unmarried women to allow them to prepare for a wedding in the afterlife.

Types
Lekythoi can be divided into five types:
 * the standard or cylindrical lekythos, which measures between 30 and 50 cm, though there are much larger "huge lekythoi", up to 1 m, which may have been used to replace funerary stele;
 * the Deianeria lekythos which originates from Corinth; this form, with an oval profile and a round shoulder and generally small in size (20 cm), was produced from the beginning of the black-figure period until the end of the 6th century;
 * the shoulder or secondary lekythos, a variation on the standard type produced from the mid 5th century on. These have a fuller, swelling body; most are decorated with the white ground technique and measure around 20 cm;
 * the squat lekythos, usually less than 20 cm in height, with a rounded belly and a flat base;
 * the acorn lekythos, a rarer form, which has an oval profile and at the bottom of the body a raised cup with protrusions, like the cup of an acorn.

There are also "plastic" lekythoi, with bodies formed in the shape of a head, animal, or other form.

Nevada State Route 170

State Route 170 (SR 170) is a state highway in northeastern Clark County, Nevada. Also known as Riverside Road, the route serves the Riverside townsite, the town of Bunkerville and the city of Mesquite. The highway was previously a part of former U.S. Route 91 (US 91).

Route description
SR 170 begins at the Interstate 15 (I-15) Riverside interchange (exit 112), approximately 60 mi northwest of Las Vegas in Virgin Valley. From there, the two-lane highway meanders southeasterly approximately 3 mi before reaching the Riverside townsite and the Virgin River. The route crosses the river, then turns northeasterly to somewhat parallel the south side of the river. The highway travels about 6 mi before reaching the town of Bunkerville. After another 2 mi, the highway turns due north, crosses the Virgin River again, and enters the city of Mesquite. The highway travels about 1 mi northward through the southern portion of the city before ending at an intersection with Mesquite Boulevard (former SR 144).

History
A gravel road approximating the alignment of present-day SR 170 appeared on official state maps by 1933. This road was marked as part of State Route 6 and U.S. Route 91—these designations traversed the southern portion of the state from the California state line to the Arizona state line at Mesquite via Las Vegas. The road in this area was fully paved by 1934. By 1955, a shorter, multi-lane highway had been constructed to bypass Bunkerville to the northwest. US 91 (and SR 6) were relocated from Riverside Road to the new alignment, which would later become I-15.

In 1976, the Nevada Department of Transportation began an effort to renumber its state highways. In this process, Riverside Road would again be designated a state highway, State Route 170. This designation was applied on July 1, 1976, and was first seen on state highway maps in 1978. The route has remained relatively unchanged since.

Deccan Charters

Deccan Charters is an aviation company based in Bengaluru, India that operates helicopter and fixed-wing charter services. Its main base is HAL Bangalore International Airport. Deccan Technical Services, the maintenance unit of Deccan Charters, maintains helicopters on behalf of 50 Indian corporates such as Reliance Industries and Essar Group. Their Mumbai centre is the authorised customer service centre to support Sikorsky S-76 helicopters. In March 2017, the firm bagged 21 regional air routes under the Indian Government's regional connectivity scheme, UDAN.

History
The airline started operations on 3 December 1997. as Deccan Aviation. It established Simplifly Deccan (formerly named Air Deccan), a low-cost airline in March 2003. In July 2004, Deccan Aviation partnered with the Favourite Group of Sri Lanka to launch a helicopter charter company called Deccan Aviation Lanka. In early 2007, the company started fixed-wing charter operations. Deccan Charters exited from the company in November 2011, after selling their 48% stake to Singapore-based Millennium Aero which renamed the company as Millennium Airlines. In February 2012, Deccan Charters partnered with Taj Air, Bjets and other partners under the Powerfly brand to provide an air charter membership program through which customers can access Jets, Turbo Props and Helicopters. Deccan Charters Ltd. initiated non-scheduled chartered services in Gujarat under the brand name of Deccan Shuttles in August 2012. This service connected Ahmedabad, Surat, Jamnagar, Bhavnagar and Kandla. In April 2013, Deccan announced its decision to suspend all Gujarat operations citing poor patronage. In August 2014, Deccan Charters partnered with Luan Airways for providing medical evacuation services in North-East India.

In April 2017, Deccan charters bid for and won 34 regional Indian routes under the UDAN scheme. Operating under the brand name Air Deccan, it will commence operations in December 2017 with flights between Mumbai and Nashik. Air Deccan will operate 19-seater Beechcraft 1900D turboprop aircraft that are suitable for short-haul flights. The airline has plans to connect Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Shillong to regional towns in the vicinity of these cities.

Air Deccan
In March 2017, the firm was awarded 21 regional air routes under the Indian Government's regional connectivity scheme, UDAN. Deccan Charters decided to use the popular Air Deccan brand to launch these services that will connect emerging towns across Indian states of Meghalaya, Mizoram and Tripura at affordable prices.

Air Deccan received the scheduled commuter operator (SCO) permit from regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on 22 December 2017 and the first flight, DN 1320, took off for Jalgaon Airport, from the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) the following afternoon. In the first phase of operations, Air Deccan plans to connect to Jalgaon, Nashik and Kolhapur Airport from Mumbai and Pune Airport.

The Bottle District, St Louis

The Bottle District is a six-block, 17-acre area north of Downtown St. Louis, Missouri, that is being redeveloped as a mixed-use entertainment and residential district. It sits north of the city's convention center and west of Laclede's Landing.

The area is part of the old Kerry Patch neighborhood, which was home to thousands of Irish immigrants in the 19th century. The neighborhood gradually became more industrial and was noted in the 1920s for its animal stockyards and bottling companies.

In 2004, longtime neighborhood business McGuire Moving and Storage Company, announced plans to redevelop the district as an entertainment destination. Noted architect Daniel Libeskind was hired to design the district. The Ghazi Company of Charlotte, North Carolina is the co-developer.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held on September 27, 2005, with plans for the first phase to open in 2007. The plans called for a Rawlings Sports museum, a Grand Prix Speedways kart-racing center, a boutique bowling alley, 250 residential units, and several restaurants. The first phase of the development was anticipated to cost $290 million, to be funded in part by $51.3 million in tax increment financing.

But that effort stalled. In late 2011, the St. Louis Board of Aldermen approved the transfer of the unused $51.3 million to a new developer, NorthSide Regeneration LLC. The deal would see the previous investment group, including developers Larry Chapman and Clayco, sell the site to NorthSide for an undisclosed amount that documents with the city suggest would be $3 million; all three were to work to find tenants and build on the site. Construction on a $190 million office and residential project was to begin in summer 2012.

Several explanations for the name of the Bottle District have been given. It has been suggested that the name honors the longstanding connection between St. Louis and the brewing and bottling industries. Others have suggested that the name comes from bottles found buried on the property, or the many broken bottles found in the neighborhood. Finally, the site is noted for a decades-old, 34 ft advertisement for Vess Soda, shaped like a bottle, which the developers intend to restore during the redevelopment. Location: 520 O'Fallon St. 38.63668°N, -90.1867°W

West Run Expressway

The West Run Expressway is a proposed four-lane expressway that would bypass Morgantown, West Virginia, to the northeast, connecting Interstate 68 (I-68) east of the city at milepost 7 to I-79 north of the city. The western terminus would be somewhere between exit 155 and the West Virginia Welcome Center at milepost 160 along I-79. It would relieve congestion along U.S. Highway 119 (USS 119) and West Virginia Route 705 (WV 705), the latter of which might be relieved with the 705 Connector.

The West Run Expressway was referred to as Interstate 268 according to a Dominion Post article in December 2002, however, the accuracy of that may be in doubt. The bypass is being designed not as a controlled-access freeway, but as a limited-access expressway, therefore not up to Interstate Highway standards.

According to the unfunded project index from the West Virginia Department of Transportation, the West Run Expressway was to have preliminary engineering completed in 2007, with right-of-way purchased in 2008.

As of 2012, this project is in limbo as the preferred corridor is now mostly developed with student housing complexes built outside of Morgantown city limits. The WV 705 Connector project is seemingly replacing it for the time being as the Mileground will be reconfigured and widened to a four-lane highway that will alleviate traffic flow. However, the possibility remains that a beltway may be constructed, following Point Marion Road/US 119 to Baker's Ridge and eventually connecting back into the original preferred route near Star City.

Dangerous Liaisons (2005 film)

Dangerous Liaisons is a gay pornographic film directed by Michael Lucas and released by Lucas Entertainment in 2005. The film is a film adaptation of Les Liaisons dangereuses, a novel written in 1782 by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. Set in the fashion industry of modern-day New York City, Lucas inserted pornographic scenes into the common themes of lust and deceit for the plot of his X-rated version.

A documentary of the film, More Dangerous: The Making of Michael Lucas' Dangerous Liaisons, premiered at the 2006 Philadelphia International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival on July 22, 2006.

Plot
Michael Lucas plays Marcus Von Halpern, head of a New York fashion empire with a manipulative side, who enlists the help of Valentine Moore, played by Gus Mattox. Von Halpern wants Moore, a world-renowned photographer and "player", to seduce Sebastian Lacroix (Wilfried Knight), the new lover of Von Halpern's ex-boyfriend, Tom Mercedes (Kent Larson). Moore agrees on one condition: he gets a night with Von Halpern as his reward.

Lacroix receives a call from his modeling agent informing him that he's booked for a photo-shoot with Moore. His boyfriend, Mercedes, warns Lacroix about Moore's reputation and advises him that Moore is not trustworthy. This segues into the first sex scene of the film, with Lacroix and Mercedes each topping the other in a flip-flop encounter.

In the following scene, Mercedes is seduced by his employee Matt Cody (Owen Hawk). They engage in sexual activity on the conference table in the boardroom when the cleaning guy (Mario Ortiz) shows up and joins in.

Meanwhile, Moore sets up his photography session with Lacroix and engages another model, J., to seduce Lacroix. Lacroix is later guilt-ridden.

Cody meets with Von Halpern, who wants to solicit information about Cody's boss, Von Halpern's ex-boyfriend, Mercedes. Another sex scene ensues. Von Halpern's current boyfriend Bobby (Bruce Beckham) discovers Von Halpern's infidelity and seduces Moore to get even. Since Von Halpern has reneged on his payment to Moore in the form of a night together, Moore responds favorably to Bobby's advances.

The cameo appearances occur during the final scene, set as the opening night of Moore's new gallery exhibit. There is an additional plot twist as a main character is murdered at the end.

The film tied for the 2006 GayVN Award for Best Picture with Rascal Video's Wrong Side of the Tracks Part One and Part Two, directed by Chi Chi LaRue.

The 2006 Adult Erotic Gay Video Awards, commonly referred to as the "Grabbys," Dangerous Liaisons received nine nominations with one award to Gus Mattox for Best Actor.

Talk:List of people burned as heretics

Religion of executioners
It would probably be better to not name the religion of the executioners after each listed victim. If it's completely necessary to know that, then have separate lists under different headings, one for each denomination. I'm going to go ahead and do that now. Tix 20:30, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * OK. -- Vít Zvánovec 09:40, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

I've looked into it more, and it has become clear that this "article" was written to malign Christianity. Just look at the external link which I deleted: it went to an article written by some Catholic priest turned atheist about how much his old Church sucks. Also, there was an internal link to Unitarianism which I deleted. The only reason I can imagine for this link being here is because someone wants to suggest Unitarianism as a much better alternative to all these Christian demonizations...sorry, denominations. Tix 20:56, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * This external link was deleted twice, I won't return it anymore. But it was very useful: It is a comprehensive list of victims of the Church, not just of burned people.

 * Unitarians were common victims, that's why I've thought it was useful to link that article. Your speculation is not underlayed. -- Vít Zvánovec 09:40, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

im sorry but your sources are wrong as in five years bloody mary had her executiners take 284 heretics lives —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.163.86.169 (talk) 20:12, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Religion of executioners
Text says: "Those burned by xy executioners". In Roman Catholic Inquisition, executioner was from government, not Church. Church only condemned accused in trial for heresy. Attack at state religion, was attack at the state, so state was the one who did execution - for treason. In fact, we don't really know religion of executor (the person who did the act of execution. So more proper term is needed. I think "condemned by organs of xy Church" is more proper. --Tomy108 (talk) 22:59, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Wrong Peter Cole The hyperlink is to "Peter Cole (born 1957 Paterson, New Jersey)" who is not the person meant in the article. I don't know how to fix this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Campolongo (talk • contribs) 07:13, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Excusing the Church
Whether or not the Church is "accountable" for people they convicted but had the government execute is a matter of opinion, not fact. But I would submit that many have been convicted of war crimes who never personally killed anyone. Telling someone else to kill is generally counted as morally equivalent to killing someone yourself.--Prosfilaes (talk) 06:42, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Your phrase "telling someone else to kill" implies that that's how it happened. I'm not aware of any case in which it happened that way. This was the standard formula used for handing over convicted heretics to the secular court: “We dismiss you from our ecclesiastical forum, and abandon you to the secular arm. But we strongly beseech the secular court to mitigate its sentence in such a way as to avoid bloodshed or danger of death.” (Eymeric’s Directorium Inquisitorum 3a pars, p. 515, col. 2, as cited in Vacandard, The Inquisition: A Critical and Historical Study of the Coercive Power of the Church [London, UK: Longman, Greens & Co, 1908], 178-179.) There is no hint of "telling someone else to kill [them]" in this formula or any other conviction formula that I am aware of. For its time, Canon Law was quite prohibitive on this point -- clerics were forbidden from executing anyone, from requiring anyone else to do so, and from being present if an execution took place. (Decretals of Gregory IX Book 3 Title 50 Chapter 9) Executions certainly happened; but it would be far from the truth to say that Catholicism "told someone else to do it." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.244.124.122 (talk) 00:40, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

1100 Tortured to Death
Is there any reference for this figure? Or is it purely an assertion from the "they did it too" brigade? Also does this include people like Guy Fawkes who were executed not because of their Catholic beliefs as such, but because of what must be seen as acts of High Treason - blowing up Parliament and massacring the political establishment isn't an essential part of Catholic piety as far as I'm aware! This needs to be limited to people who were specifically executed due to having unorthodox religious beliefs which were deemed to be a threat by the Church and State. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.89.1.33 (talk) 06:56, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

 * This statistic is total shit; as is the sloppy use of the word Anglican. --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 00:01, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Let's change some silly text please
List of people burned as heretics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

How do we change this so it's not looking like Wikipedia is asking people to burn others alive? Lots42 (talk) 01:31, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Perhaps a good way whilst staying within guidelines would be to use some variation of the Dynamic List template, as seen here. It incldues a few more words that may remove the ambiguity from the sentence. In any case, either a new template would need to be made, or the note will need to be manually added.
 * 90.255.41.54 (talk) 11:33, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

 * I say we keep it the same as its humorous and more importantly it's not like anyone would actually follow the instructions of a wikipedia page and burn people alive.
 * 94.195.9.216 (talk) 10:12, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Work needed
Page needs criteria, better formatting, also, listing of individuals under "catholic" and Protestant countries needs sorting out, might be better to do it by immolating authority. i.e, burned by Catholic authority, burned by Protestant authority. It's an embarrassment to the project as it stands.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:14, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

User:Soccerstarter ?
At least some edits made by User:Soccerstarter seem to me to be a hoax, so I have reverted them. People weren't burned in Paris 1830. The editor has not answered my questions.Xx236 (talk) 14:05, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Ramihrdus of Cambrai
He was lynched, not punished by Christian Church. Xx236 (talk) 14:17, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Several problems
Xx236 (talk) 13:51, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I have removed words "The book "Acts and Monuments" by John Foxe, commonly known as Foxe's Book of Martyrs lists many more than this." Either we comment all sections or none.
 * Many names are unsourced. Either we add the names or remove them.Xx236 (talk) 13:51, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Why "burned" only? Is drownig or hanging better?

Incineration-happy England
Although I'm sure each victim's name is bona fide, collectively the picture looks skewed: a very large proportion of those killed in England. Why is this? Is it because of wikipedia's anglophone readership?

Continental Europe was at least as, if not more, cruel in inflicting this type of execution than England (take Spain's mass burnings of Protestants and Jewish conversos, for example), yet Albion comes across as the most egregious culprit - unfairly it appears. During the "witch craze", for example, England and Wales were by far the least-worst in terms of meting out physical torture and stake burnings, and even convictions.

This probably isn't deliberate, but it's still an unbalanced view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.159.144.140 (talk) 18:09, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Pasadena (TV series)

Pasadena is an American prime time soap opera that originally aired on Fox from September to November 2001.

Summary
The series starred Alison Lohman as Lily McAllister, an initially naïve young woman who witnesses a stranger's suicide and begins to investigate the secrets being hidden by her own very wealthy California family, the Greeleys. Other cast members included Dana Delany and Martin Donovan as Lily's parents, Will and Catherine McAllister, and Chris Marquette as Lily's brother Mason. Mark Valley, Balthazar Getty, and Natasha Gregson Wagner portrayed Catherine's siblings Robert, Nate, and Beth Greeley, while Philip Baker Hall and Barbara Babcock played Greeley patriarch and matriarch George and Lillian. Alan Simpson was cast as Lily's love interest Henry Bellow, with Derek Cecil as Henry's brother Tom.

Cast

 * Dana Delany as Catherine McAllister
 * Martin Donovan as Will McAllister
 * Balthazar Getty as Nate Greeley
 * Alison Lohman as Lily McAllister
 * Christopher Marquette as Mason McAllister
 * Nicole Paggi as Jennie Bradbury
 * Alan Simpson as Henry Bellow
 * Mark Valley as Robert Greeley
 * Natasha Gregson Wagner as Beth Greeley

Production
Pasadena was created by Mike White, who attended elementary and high school in Pasadena, California. Actress/director Diane Keaton directed the pilot episode, and was among the show's executive producers. Other producers included Mark B. Perry, Dana Baratta, R. W. Goodwin, and Bill Robinson. The pilot was edited by Tatiana S. Riegel.

Broadcast and syndication
Only four episodes were originally aired in the U.S. in 2001, though thirteen were filmed, with the last episode seemingly resolving the central mystery of the series. In late 2005, the series was shown in its entirety for the first time in the United States, on the cable channel SoapNet.

In 2003 and 2004, all thirteen episodes were aired in various countries such as Romania (by the public television TVR 1), Bulgaria (BTV Channel), Colombia, Croatia, México, Serbia, Slovakia, New Zealand, Finland, Denmark, Russia, South Africa (on the pay channel M-Net), Israel (on cable Channel 3) and China. It began airing in Belgium on Club RTL on June 27, 2010.

Home media
Mill Creek Entertainment announced the series on DVD.

Reception
Although the show was critically acclaimed, it was watched by only 4.3 million viewers. The general speculation at the time was that, with the series having premiered two weeks after the September 11, 2001 attacks, American audiences were not willing to watch a show like Pasadena, with its dark atmosphere and cynical storylines.

Queen Elizabeth Stadium

The Queen Elizabeth Stadium is an indoor sport facility on the Morrison Hill in Wan Chai, on the Hong Kong Island of Hong Kong. First opened in 1980, it has a 3,500-seat arena, gymnasia, squash and badminton courts, and a multi-purpose hall. It was built by the Urban Council, and is now managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Hong Kong Government.

It hosted the official 1983 Asian Basketball Championship and the 2023 Gay Games.

History
Queen Elizabeth II made her first visit to Hong Kong, then a British colony, in May 1975. This Royal Visit became the namesake of the stadium. The construction was funded by various means including donations from local philanthropists such as Sir Tang Shiu-kin, and the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club.

The foundation stone was laid by the Acting Governor Sir Denys Roberts on 21 December 1977. The stadium was opened by the Governor Sir Murray MacLehose on 27 August 1980. Since then the stadium has become one of the major venues for cultural and sports activities in Hong Kong.

Popular culture
Japanese pop singer Kenji Sawada, widely popular across Asia at the time, was one of the first artists to use the stadium as a concert venue (December 1980, just four months after its opening), followed by Taiwanese pop singer Teresa Teng in 1982. Many successful home-grown artists and pop stars also held concerts at the venue including George Lam, Michael Kwan, Danny Chan, Alan Tam, Samuel Hui and Beyond (band) (See 1970s and 1980s in Hong Kong). However, the stadium's status as the top concert venue in Hong Kong, or even Asia, was gradually eclipsed by the larger stadium Hong Kong Coliseum.

The stadium is also one of the major venues during the 2009 East Asian Games.
