Alexander's Trick
Original research. Delete. utcursch | talk 13:33, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, not convinced its original research. Kappa 14:01, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Google is slightly muddled by the inconvenient name, but, , , , and  show that it's something real in advanced topology (note - except the last, all the links are to Adobe Postscript files). Keep. DS 14:19, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment not convinced it's accurate--where's the center of the disk supposed to go? Certainly needs to be explained better, but even once it is, I think it'll be kind of a trivial observation that ought to be merged somewhere (but I don't know where) --Trovatore 16:27, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not original research: not only is this well-known in topology, a Google search for 'Alexanders trick topology' gives 46500 hits.  Result is more general than stated: any homeomorphism of the boundary of the n-ball extends to a homeomorphism of the ball.  The map as stated has a removable discontinuity at the center (the center maps to the center).--JahJah 17:23, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * That was my guess, but it's not what the article currently says. It still strikes me as kind of borderline for a whole article; isn't there somewhere to merge it? BTW perhaps you'd like to rephrase it so it's correct, and throw in the n-dim case as well. --Trovatore 18:08, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep per JahJah. Xoloz 09:54, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This will be J. W. Alexander, and as Alexander trick is well-known to Google. Move, clean-up, all those good things. Not a delete in a million years. Charles Matthews 20:28, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * This is obviously some bullshit because F(0) is undefined.  Grue   12:53, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Huh? Lots of functions have F(0) undefined. Xoloz 14:51, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yet the article claims that F is defined on D2 and it is homeomorphism. Now F(x)=f(x/|x|)/|x| looks more like the desired function.  Grue  15:37, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to Alexander trick (or perhaps Alexander's trick). I expanded the article a bit based on some papers I found via Google. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 21:48, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. There are related results which are referred to as Alexander's Trick, for example: A homeomorphism of a disk that fixes the boudary sphere is isotopic to the identity, relative to the sphere.  This type of result is also important because it works in PL as well as Top. --JahJah 07:08, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Did you read the article after I've expanded it (which I did just before my vote here)? I think this is now included in the article. Anyway, I'd be very grateful if you could have a look and check what I wrote, because I don't know that much topology. Jitse Niesen (talk) 11:19, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Jitse: I did not see your edit: looks good. I have made a minor correction to the second Alexander's trick. --JahJah 17:26, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Jitse and JahJah: it looks much better now than it did at the time of nomination. My only quibble is that it's tacitly assumed that Sn and Dn+1 are embedded in Rn+1 with center at the origin and the usual scalar multiplication on Rn+1. But perhaps that's easy enough to figure out (assume the author meant something obvious, try it, see it that works), and explaining it might just add verbiage and make the page harder to follow. --Trovatore 05:48, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Original research claim not established.--Nicodemus75 17:59, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I am glad that I woke up such many commentaries and I want to say that originally I did must write ||x||f(x/||x||) for the true formula for the extended homeomorphism. My best wishes are that discussions continue in a constructive fashion. Of course I vote Keep. Juan Marquez 14:05, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep though I fair to have a surface understanding of this article, it seems harmless enough. Klonimus 00:58, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Moe Robinson

Morris Leslie Robinson (born May 29, 1957) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman. He played one game in the National Hockey League with the Montreal Canadiens during the 1979–80 season. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1977 to 1981, was spent in the minor leagues. His brother Larry also played in the NHL with the Canadiens, and is in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Playing career
Although his Hall of Fame brother Larry Robinson was with the Canadiens at that time, they did not play together as the older Robinson was out injured during Moe's brief recall from the AHL made to replace Larry on the roster. Moe Robinson's one NHL game came in Winnipeg on December 15, 1979, as he played six shifts in a 6-2 road loss in the Canadiens' first game with the Winnipeg Jets which had recently come from the disbanded WHA. The only time that the Robinson brothers were paired together on the blueline with the Canadiens was in a 1979 exhibition game against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Rushop

Rushop or Rushup is a small North Derbyshire village. It is in the town of Chapel-en-le-Frith. Agriculture has until recently been the main occupation in the village. At present very few of the residents work in Rushop and several of the houses are second homes only occupied at weekends and holidays.

There is archaeological and documentary evidence that there was a settlement at this site since before the Roman invasion of Britain. The settlement is alleged to have been a British village, under nominal Anglo Saxon rule after the fall of the area to Angles from Bernicia around 590, mainly due to the lack of Anglo Saxon placenames in the valley and the presence of names, such as Eccles, Inch and Pen-, which have origins in a Brythonic language of Britain.

A State of Mind (film)

A State of Mind is a 2004 documentary film directed by Daniel Gordon, who is known for his documentaries on sports and North Korea, and produced by Nicholas Bonner. It follows two North Korean child gymnasts and their families for over eight months during training for the 2003 Pyongyang mass games. The film won two awards at the North Korean Pyongyang International Film Festival in 2004 and was shown at 11 other film festivals worldwide before being released in a theatrical run in 2005.

Production
Gordon received US$600,000 from the BBC and WNET to produce the film.

Gordon and his team initially intended to have the documentary feature on one gymnast and one backdrop creator. They requested to meet with the mass games' best gymnast, and in September 2002 they met Pak Hyon Sun and her family. After speaking with Sun, they met with her friend, fellow gymnast Kim Song Yon. Authorities then suggested the filmmakers focus on Song-Yon, which Gordon pushed back on. By April 2003, they decided to focus filming on both girls.

Gordon and his team were accompanied by guides and translators during the production of the film. According to Gordon, they "neither interfered nor sought to censor the material".

The film did not have any input from North Korean authorities during the editing process, and their footage was not screened prior to leaving the country.

Release and reception
The documentary was aired on the BBC in June 2004, and premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City that same month. It premiered in American theaters on August 10, 2004, and in Seoul later that month. The film received positive reviews among Western outlets, including The New York Times, Slant Magazine,  Variety,  and The Washington Post.

The documentary has been broadcast multiple times on North Korean state television.

In other media
UK-based dance band Faithless used clips from the documentary for the video to the single "I Want More."

Selection methods in plant breeding based on mode of reproduction

Plant breeders use different methods depending on the mode of reproduction of crops, which include:
 * Self-fertilization, where pollen from a plant will fertilise reproductive cells or ovules of the same plant
 * Cross-pollination, where pollen from one plant can only fertilize a different plant
 * Asexual propagation (e.g. runners from strawberry plants) where the new plant is genetically identical to its parent
 * Apomixis (self-cloning), where seeds are produced asexually and the new plant is genetically identical to its parent

The mode of reproduction of a crop determines its genetic composition, which, in turn, is the deciding factor to develop suitable breeding and selection methods. Knowledge of mode of reproduction is also essential for its artificial manipulation to breed improved types. Only those breeding and selection methods are suitable for a crop which does not interfere with its natural state or ensure the maintenance of such a state. It is due to such reasons that imposition of self-fertilization on cross-pollinating crops leads to drastic reduction in their performance.

For teaching purpose, plant breeding is presented as four categories: Line breeding (autogamous crops), population breeding (allogamous crops), hybrid breeding (mostly allogamous crops, some autogamous crops), clone breeding (vegetatively propagated crops).

Self fertilizing crops (autogamous crops)
Certain restrictions caused the mechanisms for self-fertilization (partial and full self-fertilization) to develop in a number of plant species. Some of the reasons why a self-fertilizing method of reproduction is so effective are the efficacy of reproduction, as well as decreasing genetic variation and thus the fixation of highly adapted genotypes. Almost no inbreeding depression occurs in self-fertilizing plants because the mode of reproduction allows natural selection to take place in wild populations of such plants.

Critical steps in the improvement of self-fertilizing crops are the choice of parents and the identification of the best plants in segregating generations. The breeder should also have definite goals with the choice of parents. Self-fertilizing are easier to maintain, but this could lead to misuse of seed.

Some of the agronomy important, self-fertilizing crops include wheat, rice, barley, dry beans, soy beans, peanuts, tomatoes, etc.

Mass selection
This method of selection depends mainly on the selection of plants according to their phenotype and performance. The seed from selected plants is bulked for the next generation. This method is used to improve the overall population by positive or negative mass selection. Mass selection is only applied to a limited degree in self-fertilizing plants and is an effective method for the improvement of land races. This method of selection will only be effective for highly heritable traits. One shortage of mass selection is the large influence that the environment has on the development, phenotype, and performance of single plants. This can also be an advantage in that varieties can be selected for local performance.

Stratified mass selection for ear size over 22 cycles has drastically altered plant phenotype in the maize population Zacatecas 58. Plants in the C22 cycle were 50 cm taller had twice the leaf area index, reached anthesis 7 days later and had a 30% higher harvest index than C0 (Table 1)  Differences in growth were detected early in ontogeny. The root growth of C22 exceeded that of C0 and the ratio of shoot dry mass to root dry mass was reduced by nearly 12%, from 8.0±0.2 to 7.1±0.1 (Table 2). Analysis of yield components revealed that C22 was superior to C0 in grain weight, number of rows per ear, number of grains per row, and total yield per unit area (Table 3). Because the two genotypes were phenologically different, planting density optima are probably different for each population.

Selection of cross-pollinated crops
Plant species where normal mode of seed set is through a high degree of cross-pollination have characteristic reproductive features and population structure. Existence of self-sterility, self-incompatibility, imperfect flowers, and mechanical obstructions make the plant dependent upon foreign pollen for normal seed set. Each plant receives a blend of pollen from a large number of individuals each having different genotypes. Such populations are characterized by a high degree of heterozygosity with tremendous free and potential genetic variation, which is maintained in a steady state by free gene flow among individuals within the populations.

In the development of hybrid varieties, the aim is to identify the most productive heterozygote from the population, which then is produced with the exclusion of other members of the population.

Mass selection
It is the simplest, easiest and oldest method of selection where individual plants are selected based on their phenotypic performance, and bulk seed selection proved to be quite effective in maize improvement at the initial stages but its efficacy especially for improvement of yield, soon came under severe criticism that culminated in the refinement of the method of mass selection. The selection after pollination does not provide any control over the pollen parent as result of which effective selection is limited only to female parents. The heritability estimates are reduced by half, since only parents are used to harvest seed whereas the pollen source is not known after the cross pollination has taken place.

Recurrent selection
This type of selection is a refined version of the mass selection procedure and differs as follows:

 * Visually selected individuals out of the base population undergo progeny testing
 * Individuals selected on basis of the progeny test data are crossed with each other in every possible way to produce seed to form the new base population.

Half-sib selection with progeny testing
Selections are made based on progeny test performance instead of phenotypic appearance of the parental plants. Seed from selected half-sibs, which have been pollinated by random pollen from the population (meaning that only the female parent is known and selected, hence the term "half-sib") is grown in unreplicated progeny rows for the purpose of selection. A part of the seed is planted to determine the yielding ability, or breeding value, for any character of each plant. The seed from the most productive rows or remnant seed from the outstanding half-sibs is bulked to complete one cycle of selection.

Full-sib selection with progeny testing
A number of full-sib families, each produced by making crosses between the two plants from the base population are evaluated in replicated trials. A part of each full-sib family is saved for recombination. Based on evaluation the remnant seed of selected full-sib families is used to recombine the best families.

Breeding of asexually propagated crops
Asexual reproduction covers all those modes of multiplication of plants where normal gamete formation and fertilization does not take place making these distinctly different from normal seed production crops. In the absence of sexual reproduction, the genetic composition of plant material being multiplied remains essentially the same as its source plant.

Clones of mother plants can be made with the exact genetic composition of the mother plant. Superior plants are selected and propagated vegetatively; the vegetative propagated offspring are used to develop stable varieties without any deterioration due to segregation of gene combinations. This unique characteristic of asexual reproduction helped to develop a number of cultivars of fruits and vegetables including grapes, apples, pears and peaches.

Improving asexual plant material through selection
The selection in these crops is restricted to the material introduced from other sources, such as field plantations. The improvement of asexually propagated plants through induced mutations has distinct advantages and limitations. Any vegetative propagule can be treated with mutagens and even a single desirable mutant or a part of a mutated propagule (chimera) can be multiplied as an improved type of the original variety.

Selection of asexual plants
Selection, in the case of asexual plants, can be defined as the selection of the best performing plant and the vegetative propagation thereof. Because plants are not totally genetically stable, it can be expected that deviations would occur through the years. Selection is thus an ongoing process where deviants are selected or removed from the selection program. The main purpose of selection is to better the quality and yield of forthcoming plantations. Different approaches can be followed in the selection process of asexual plants, such as mass selection and clone selection from clone blocks.

In mass selection there are some factors that must be considered when selecting plants in a mother block, e.g. vineyard. Time of selection is a big factor, because you have to select when most of the characteristics of the plant are clearly showing. With asexual perennials the best time is just before harvest. For the best results the selected plant must be evaluated during the next season, when growth-abnormalities, leave disfigurations and virus symptoms are best visualized. Mass selection is done annually on the same plant for a minimum of three years. A plant that does not conform to the requirements in any given year of the selection cycle is discarded from the program.

New clone development
The development and registration of new clones take place by means of local clone selection in old plantations, as well as the importation of high quality clones from abroad, for local evaluation.

A clone is the vegetative offspring of one specific mother plant; it does not show any genetic, morphologic or physiologic deviations from the mother plant. Evaluation takes place with the different selected clones after selection.

Cancer (genus)

Cancer is a genus of marine crabs in the family Cancridae. It includes eight extant species and three extinct species, including familiar crabs of the littoral zone, such as the European edible crab (Cancer pagurus), the Jonah crab (Cancer borealis) and the red rock crab (Cancer productus). It is thought to have evolved from related genera in the Pacific Ocean in the Miocene.

Description
The species placed in the genus Cancer are united by the presence of a single posterolateral spine (on the edge of the carapace, towards the rear), anterolateral spines with deep fissures (on the carapace edge, towards the front), and a short extension of the carapace forward between the eyes. Their claws are typically short, with grainy or smooth, rather than spiny, keels. The carapace is typically oval, being 58%–66% as long as wide, and the eyes separated by 22%–29% of the carapace width.

Species
The genus Cancer, as currently circumscribed, contains eight extant species:

Three fossil species are also included:
 * Cancer fissus Rathbun, 1908 – Pliocene, California
 * Cancer fujinaensis Sakumoto, Karasawa & Takayasu, 1992 – Miocene, Japan
 * Cancer parvidens Collins & Fraaye, 1991 – Miocene, Netherlands

As their generic delimitation was based on characters of the dorsal carapace, Schweitzer and Feldmann (2000) were unable to confirm the placement of Cancer tomowoi in the genus, since it is known only from parts of the sternum and the legs. Other species until recently included in the genus Cancer have since been transferred to other genera, such as Glebocarcinus, Metacarcinus and Romaleon.

Taxonomic history
When zoological nomenclature was first standardised by Carl Linnaeus in the 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae, the genus Cancer included almost all crustaceans, including all the crabs. Linnaeus' cumbersome genus was soon divided into more meaningful units, and Cancer had been restricted to one group of true crabs by the time of Pierre André Latreille's 1802 work Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière des Crustacés et des Insectes ("Natural history in general, and specifically that of crustaceans and insects"). Latreille designated C. pagurus to be the type species in 1817.

In 1975, J. Dale Nations divided the genus Cancer into four subgenera: Cancer (Cancer), Cancer (Glebocarcinus), Cancer (Metacarcinus) and Cancer (Romaleon). Each of these is now treated as a separate genus, as is the genus Platepistoma, erected by Mary J. Rathbun and resurrected in 1991. Since that time, further genera have been described to accommodate species previously included in Cancer, and the genus Cancer now contains only eight extant species.

Evolutionary history
The earliest fossils that can be confidently ascribed to the genus Cancer are those of C. fujinaensis from the Japanese Miocene. The genus is therefore thought to have evolved in the northern Pacific Ocean, perhaps during the Miocene, and have spread across that ocean and into the Atlantic Ocean by the Pliocene or Pleistocene, having crossed the equator and the Straits of Panama.

Mike Rosati

Michael Anthony Rosati (born January 7, 1968) is a Canadian-born Italian former professional ice hockey player. He played one game in the National Hockey League with the Washington Capitals during the 1998–99 season. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1989 to 2004, was mainly spent in Europe. Internationally Rosati played for the Italian national team at the 1994 and 1998 Winter Olympics, and nine World Championships.

Early years
As a youth, Rosati played in the 1981 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Wexford, Toronto.

Rosati started his career by playing in the Ontario Hockey League and was soon drafted by the New York Rangers in 1988 NHL Entry Draft (#131 pick). Rosati was initially placed in the ECHL, but after a disappointing season, decided to play in Italy. Rosati would find much more success there, and played for the Hockey Club Bolzano. In the 1990s Rosati would lead Bolzano to two Italian Hockey Championships, and would earn himself the place of goaltender for the Italian national team that would go on to compete in the 1994 and 1998 Winter Olympics.

The 1990s and the NHL experience
By the second half of the 1990s, the Italian hockey movement had gone through a difficult period, and Rosati moved to Germany. It was here that Rosati played for Adler Mannheim of the DEL. In 1998, after two seasons of consistent play with Adler Mannheim, Rosati signed with the Washington Capitals as the third goaltender of the team, behind Olaf Kölzig and Craig Billington and played for their minor league affiliate, the Portland Pirates. On November 7, 1998, the incumbent Capitals goalie, Olaf Kölzig, suffered an injury, and Rosati made his NHL debut against the Ottawa Senators in a match won by the Capitals 8–5. Rosati played 28 minutes and didn't allow a goal, making 12 saves. He finished the season with the Manitoba Moose of the IHL. Rosati returned to Mannheim where he played four more seasons.

Retirement and coaching
Rosati retired in 2004 while playing for a German second division team. In the 2004–05 season, Rosati was the Adler Mannheim assistant coach and worked with Stéphane Richer and Helmut de Raaf (who played with Rosati for multiple seasons).

Rosati is currently the goaltending coach of the Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL. He enjoys spending time with his 2 daughters, Jessica and Alyssa, who are his biggest supporters. In the offseason, Rosati lives in Niagara Falls.

British post offices in Morocco

The British post offices in Morocco, also known as the "Morocco Agencies", were a system of post offices operated by Gibraltar and later the United Kingdom in Morocco.

First office
The first office was established in Tangier in 1857; mail was simply bagged there and forwarded to Gibraltar just across the water, where it received the standard "A26" postmark. From 1872 Tangier had its own postmark, but this was applied alongside the stamps (allowing for the Gibraltar cancellation to mark them), so usages of British stamps from Morocco are best determined on cover. Several examples of loose GB Queen Victoria stamps cancelled Tangier do exist including at least one horizontal strip of 6 1d reds from plate 123.This item was lot 417 in the H R Harmer sale on 12–14 December 1960.

Since the offices were under the control of Gibraltar, they switched to the use of Gibraltar stamps when they came into use, on 1 January 1886. Additional offices opened in various Moroccan seaports during the 1880s, and inland at Fez (1892), and Meknes (1907).

The stamps were overprinted "Morocco / Agencies" beginning in 1898, initially at the offices of the Gibraltar Chronicle, and then later in London, yielding several variations in the appearance of the overprint.

Direct control
On 1 January 1907, the British Post Office took direct control of the post offices, operating them until Moroccan independence in 1956. From that point on, all stamps were overprints on British issues, in no less than three different currencies.

British-currency stamps were available at any office, and primarily intended for parcels and, later, airmail. Both regular and some commemorative issues were overprinted, all with "MOROCCO / AGENCIES", up to the Edward VIII issue of 1936. Subsequently, unoverprinted stamps were used, until 1949, when they were again overprinted for use at Tetuan (at that point the sole remaining office, except for Tangier, which had its own overprints).

Spanish currency stamps
Spanish-currency stamps were also available at all offices until the establishment of the French Zone, after which they were limited to the Spanish Zone. The overprint was basically the same as for the British-currency stamps, with the added complication of needing to fit in the denomination in Centimos and Pesetas. All types of British stamps were overprinted, the last being the issues of Elizabeth II in the summer of 1956; all were withdrawn from sale 31 December of that year.

French currency stamps
French-currency stamps, intended for use in the French Zone, date from 1917, and continued in use until 8 January 1938, when they were withdrawn from sale. The overprints are just as for the Spanish currency, but fewer types were produced.

Tangier
The Tangier International Zone received its own overprints beginning in 1927. As British currency was in use in that office, the overprint simply reads "TANGIER". This continued through 1956. On 1 April 1957, a commemorative overprint added "1857-1957" to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the post office, but this had a very short shelf life; the office at Tangier was closed and the stamps withdrawn from sale on 30 April 1957.

Philatelic literature
The most substantial book on the Morocco Agencies, by Dr David A. Stotter, Chairman of the GB Overprints Society (GBOS), was published in October 2007 by the Postal History Society (PHS) and the British Philatelic Trust (BPT), 367 pp, hardbound, price £49. Entitled "The British Post Office Service in Morocco 1907-57" it covers in great depth the postal history of the so-called British Period, from the transfer of control to the GPO from Gibraltar in January 1907 to the closure of the Tangier post office in April 1957. This book was awarded the RPSL Crawford Medal and a Large Gold at Harrogate 2008.

The first booklet on the Morocco Agencies, written by John H Vallis was published by H F Johnson in 1921. The second was written by R H Sampson, and was published by the Royal Philatelic Society London in 1959 in a limited edition of 250 copies. Subsequent to that the late Dr Ken Clough produced 2 booklets (the second being a revised version of the first) published by the Gibraltar Study Circle in 1978 and 1984. The G B Overprints Society (GBOS) also published in 1992 a booklet specifically on the Overprinted GB issues of Edward VII written by M H Gellatly & M K Wlodarczyk.

The Gibraltar Period up to the end of 1906 has been covered in great detail in a book written by Richard Garcia now published by the PHS/BPT. The title is: "The British Postal Service in Morocco 1749-1906", details from John Sussex as above. Richard's book, together with that by David Stotter, provides complete coverage of the postal history of the British Post Office in Morocco. A third book in loose leaf format covering the stamps and some postal stationery has also been published by the GBOS.

David has recently published a book covering the postal and social history of Tangier, with chapters on the British, French, Spanish, German and Cherifien postal services there: "A Postcard from Tangier.  A Postal & Social History of Tangier 1880-1958"  The Postal History Society 2015 ISBN 9780853770343. This book was awarded a Large Vermeil at the recent European Philatelic Exhibition in London.

Pat Rupp

Patrick Lloyd Rupp (August 12, 1942 – February 2, 2006) was an American ice hockey goaltender. He played one game in the National Hockey League with the Detroit Red Wings during the 1963–64 season, on March 22, 1964 against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1963 to 1980, was mainly spent in the International Hockey League. Internationally Rupp played for the American national team at the 1964 and 1968 Winter Olympics.

Playing career
Rupp joined the Eastern Hockey League's Philadelphia Ramblers in 1963–64. He played one game, on March 22, 1964, in the National Hockey League, on loan with the Detroit Red Wings in 1963–64 replacing Terry Sawchuk. The Red Wings lost 4–1 to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

He was selected as a member of the US team for the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria. During the tournament, Rupp shut out East Germany in an 8–0 victory. This feat was not equalled by a US goaltender until Ray LeBlanc held Germany scoreless in the 1992 Winter Olympics. The US team finished in fifth place.

Rupp switched to the Dayton Gems in the International Hockey League in the 1964–65 season. During the next two seasons, he won the James Norris Memorial Trophy for fewer goals against with teammate John Adams.

In 1968, he was selected for his second Winter Olympics in Grenoble in France; the US team finished in sixth place.

He returned to play for the Gems until 1972 when he announced his retirement. However, he returned in 1975–76 playing for the Buffalo Norsemen in the North American Hockey League and with the Gems in 1979–80.

Later, from 1985 until 2005, Rupp continued playing recreational hockey in Dayton as a member of a local men's league, Megacity Hockey Club.

After his retirement from ice hockey, Rupp worked in the financial sector. He died of cancer in February 2006.

Dave Clements

David Clements (born 15 September 1945) is a former football player and manager from Northern Ireland. He started his career as an outside left but also played as a defensive midfielder and left-back. During a career which lasted from 1964 to 1976, playing for Coventry City, Sheffield Wednesday and Everton, he would make a total of 392 league appearances and score 32 goals. He played 48 times for the Northern Ireland national team between 1965 and 1976 scoring two goals. He then managed the national team for two years in 1975 and 1976 before moving to the NASL in the United States.

Early days
Clements attended Larne Grammar School and excelled at both football and rugby union, during his time at the school he earned football caps for the national team at schoolboy, youth and amateur level. As a junior, he played for the Larne suburban team of Millbrook before signing for Irish league club Portadown F.C. in 1961. After starring in a 2–0 Irish amateur win over Wales in January 1963 he signed for English Division One club Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Playing career
Clements' spell as an apprentice at Wolverhampton Wanderers lasted for just over a year, however in that time he failed to break into the first team.

Coventry City
Despite this lack of success at Wolves, Clements caught the eye of Coventry City manager Jimmy Hill who paid £1,500 for the 18-year-old at the start of the 1964–65 season. Clements made a fine start to his City career, scoring on his debut on 23 January 1965 against Northampton Town and netting eight times in his first ten matches. Two months later on 17 March 1965, aged just 19, he earned the first of his 48 caps for the Northern Ireland national team against the Netherlands. Clements was an integral part of the Coventry side which won the Second Division championship in the 1966–67 season and then did well in the top flight. He played as an outside left for much of his time at Coventry for whom he made 228 league appearances (255 including cup games) and scored 30 goals in total over a period of seven seasons. Throughout his time at Highfield Road he continued to be a regular for the Northern Ireland team, earning 21 caps in total while with the Midlands team. His most famous moment as an international player came in October 1967 when he scored the winning goal in a Euro 68 qualifier against Scotland at Windsor Park. Coventry manager Noel Cantwell surprisingly agreed to let Clements move on after six-years at the club and after rejecting a move to Hull City in February 1971, he moved to Sheffield Wednesday in August of the same year as part of a combined deal that also included Brian Joicey and cost the Yorkshire club £100,000.

Sheffield Wednesday
Clements played as a left-back for Wednesday and was a popular and successful player in his time there even though the club was not thriving in Division Two and would eventually drop into Division Three in 1975. His strong, robust style of play earned him the nickname "Tank" from Wednesday fans, he played 87 games for Wednesday in two seasons but became unsettled at the end of the 1972–73 season when his good form had attracted the attention of First Division clubs. He played just the opening game of the following season before moving to Everton at the beginning of September 1973 for a fee of £80,000.

Everton
Clements made his debut on Saturday, 22 September 1973 in a 1–1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers. He was made club captain for 1974–75, a season in which Everton were well placed to lift the First Division championship before a late slump let in Derby County. In total, Clements made 85 league appearances in his time with Everton scoring six goals (he took over as the clubs penalty taker) and became one of the most respected midfielders in the top flight. During his time at Everton he became player-manager of the Northern Ireland national side for a short time taking over from Terry Neill in 1975 and being replaced by Danny Blanchflower in 1976.

Managerial career
Clements tenure as Northern Ireland national team manager lasted for eleven matches, he took over in the winter of 1974–75, part way through the qualification matches for Euro 76. He took over as manager at the age of only 29 and his first game as manager was on 16 March 1975 and was a Euro 76 qualifier against Yugoslavia in Belfast. This was the first time that Northern Ireland had played a home match in the province since 1971 and resulted in a fine 1–0 victory which put the Northern Irish in with a chance of qualification. However a home defeat to Sweden in October 1975 and a loss in Belgrade to Yugoslavia in the final group qualifier the following month stopped Northern Ireland progressing to the last eight knock out stage.

Clements continued as manager into 1976, however results were disappointing culminating in Northern Ireland losing all three matches in the British Home Championship in May of that year. They lost heavily to Scotland 3–0 in Glasgow and to England 4–0 at Wembley before losing 1–0 to Wales in Swansea. The Welsh defeat was Clements last game as both manager and player for the national team on 14 May 1976.

Clements played his last game for Everton in February 1976 and moved to the United States, having received a lucrative offer to play in the NASL for New York Cosmos where he played alongside Pelé. His performances for Cosmos during 1976 ensured that Clements was named in the All-Star Honourable Mention Team for that year, he was also selected for Team America to participate in the Bicentenary Cup against Italy, Brazil and England.

Clements moved to coach the Colorado Caribous of the North American Soccer League in 1978, the only year of their existence, and then coached three teams in the Major Indoor Soccer League, the Denver Avalanche (1981–82), St. Louis Steamers (1982–85) and Kansas City Comets (1986–87). He was named US Coach of the year in 1982 and 1987.

Clements still lives in the Denver area, he moved out of football and has run his own Irish shop, worked as a salesman in St. Louis, Missouri, and was CEO of a Denver company that manufactured Cotton Candy machines.

He was also the coach of the University of Denver men's soccer team.

In the Bleak Midwinter

"In the Bleak Midwinter" is a poem by the English poet Christina Rossetti, commonly performed as a Christmas carol. The poem was published, under the title "A Christmas Carol", in the January 1872 issue of Scribner's Monthly, and was first collected in book form in Goblin Market, The Prince's Progress and Other Poems (Macmillan, 1875).

In 1906, the composer Gustav Holst composed a setting of Rossetti's words (titled "Cranham") in The English Hymnal which is sung throughout the world. An anthem setting by Harold Darke composed in 1909 is also widely performed by choirs, and was named the best Christmas carol in a poll of some of the world's leading choirmasters and choral experts in 2008.

Analysis
In verse one, Rossetti describes the physical circumstances of the Incarnation in Bethlehem. In verse two, Rossetti contrasts Christ's first and second coming.

The third verse dwells on Christ's birth and describes the simple surroundings, in a humble stable and watched by beasts of burden.

Rossetti achieves another contrast in the fourth verse, this time between the incorporeal angels attendant at Christ's birth with Mary's ability to render Jesus physical affection. The final verse shifts the description to a more introspective thought process.

Hymnologist and theologian Ian Bradley has questioned the poem's theology: "Is it right to say that heaven cannot hold God, nor the earth sustain, and what about heaven and earth fleeing away when he comes to reign?"

Settings
The text of this Christmas poem has been set to music many times. Two of the most famous settings were composed by Gustav Holst and Harold Darke in the early 20th century.

Holst

Holst's setting, Cranham, is a hymn tune setting suitable for congregational singing, since the poem is irregular in metre and any setting of it requires a skilful and adaptable tune. The hymn is titled after Cranham, Gloucestershire and was written for the English Hymnal of 1906.

Darke

The Darke setting was written in 1909 while he was a student at the Royal College of Music. Although melodically similar, it is more advanced; each verse is treated slightly differently, with solos for soprano and tenor (or a group of sopranos and tenors) and a delicate organ accompaniment. This version is favoured by cathedral choirs and is the one usually heard performed on the radio broadcasts of Nine Lessons and Carols by the King's College Choir. Darke served as conductor of the choir during World War II. Darke omits verse four of Rossetti's original, and bowdlerizes Rossetti's "a breastful of milk" to "a heart full of mirth", although later editions reversed this change. Darke also repeats the last line of the final verse. Darke would complain, however, that the popularity of this tune prevented people from performing his other compositions, and rarely performed it outside of Christmas services.

In 2016, the Darke setting was used in a multitrack rearrangement of the song by music producer Jacob Collier. It features contemporary compositional techniques such as microtonality.

Other settings
Benjamin Britten includes an elaborate five-part setting of the first verse for high voices (combined with the medieval Corpus Christi Carol) in his work A Boy was Born.

Other settings include those by Robert C L Watson, Bruce Montgomery, Bob Chilcott, Michael John Trotta, Robert Walker, Eric Thiman, who wrote a setting for solo voice and piano, and Leonard Lehrman.

In popular culture

 * It is quoted throughout the Peaky Blinders TV series.
 * It makes an appearance in the series premiere of The Crown, "Wolferton Splash", in which King George VI (played by Jared Harris) joins a band of carolers at Sandringham House in singing the final verse.
 * Most of the main characters sing the first verse in the Christmas episode of the BBC TV series Ghosts.
 * The character Patrick Lewis recalls the first verse in the novel In the Skin of a Lion by Michael Ondaatje.
 * It is sung by the character Abigail Pettigrew, played by Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins in the Doctor Who episode "A Christmas Carol".

IEEE 802.11u

IEEE 802.11u-2011 is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11-2007 standard to add features that improve interworking with external networks.

802.11 is a family of IEEE technical standards for mobile communication devices such as laptop computers or multi-mode phones to join a wireless local area network (WLAN) widely used in the home, public hotspots and commercial establishments.

The IEEE 802.11u standard was published on February 25, 2011.

Network discovery and selection

 * 1) Provides for the discovery of suitable networks (preassociation) through the advertisement of access network type {private network, free public network, for-fee public network}, roaming consortium, and venue information.
 * 2) Generic Advertisement Service (GAS), which provides for Layer 2 transport of an advertisement protocol's frames between a mobile device and a server in the network prior to authentication. The access point is responsible for the relay of a mobile device's query to a server in the carrier's network and for delivering the server's response back to the mobile.
 * 3) Provides Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP), which is a query and response protocol used by a mobile device to discover a range of information, including the hotspot operator's domain name (a globally unique, machine-searchable data element); roaming partners accessible via the hotspot along with their credential type and EAP method supported for authentication; IP address type availability (for example, IPv4, IPv6); and other metadata useful in a mobile device's network selection process.

QoS map distribution
This provides a mapping between the IP's differentiated services code point (DSCP) to over-the-air Layer 2 priority on a per-device basis, facilitating end-to-end QoS.

For users who are not pre-authorized
IEEE 802.11 currently makes an assumption that a user's device is pre-authorized to use the network. IEEE 802.11u covers the cases where that device is not pre-authorized. A network will be able to allow access based on the user's relationship with an external network (e.g. hotspot roaming agreements), or indicate that online enrollment is possible, or allow access to a strictly limited set of services such as emergency services (client to authority and authority to client.)

From a user perspective, the aim is to improve the experience of a traveling user who turns on a laptop in a hotel many miles from home, or uses a mobile device to place a phone call. Instead of being presented with a long list of largely meaningless SSIDs the user could be presented with a list of networks, the services they provide, and the conditions under which the user could access them. 802.11u is central to the adoption of UMA and other approaches to network mobile devices.

Encourages mesh deployment
Because a relatively sophisticated set of conditions can be presented, arbitrary contracts could be presented to the user, and might include providing information on motive, demographics or geographic origin of the user. As such data is valuable to tourism promotion and other public functions, 802.11u is thought to motivate more extensive deployment of IEEE 802.11s mesh networks.

Mobile cellular network off-load to Wi-Fi
Mobile users, whose devices can move between 3G and Wi-Fi networks at a low level using 802.21 handoff, also need a unified and reliable way to authorize their access to all of those networks. 802.11u provides a common abstraction that all networks regardless of protocol can use to provide a common authentication experience.

Mandatory requirements
The IEEE 802.11u requirements specification contains requirements in the areas of enrollment, network selection, emergency call support, emergency alert notification, user traffic segmentation, and service advertisement.

Hotspot 2.0
The Wi-Fi Alliance uses IEEE 802.11u in its "Wi-Fi Certified Passpoint" program, also known as "Hotspot 2.0". Apple devices running iOS 7 support Hotspot 2.0.

EAP-TLS
There have been proposals to use IEEE 802.11u for access points to signal that they allow EAP-TLS using only server-side authentication. Unlike most TLS implementations of HTTPS, such as major web browsers, the majority of implementations of EAP-TLS require client-side X.509 certificates without giving the option to disable the requirement, even though the standard does not mandate their use, which some have identified as having the potential to dramatically reduce adoption of EAP-TLS and prevent "open" but encrypted access points.

Óscar Hahn

Óscar Arturo Hahn Garcés (born 5 July 1938) is a Chilean writer and poet, and a member of the literary generation of the 1960s. Hahn has won multiple distinguished awards, notably the National Prize for Literature (Chile) and the Pablo Neruda Ibero-American Poetry Award.

Early life
Oscar Hahn is the son of Ralph Hahn Valdés and Enriqueta Garcés Sánchez. He lost his father at the young age of 4 years old on 28 March 1943. His first traces to poetry began in his adolescence in Rancagua, Chile. After falling in love during a childhood relationship, Hahn felt compelled to write his first poems. He received his primary and secondary education in Iquique, Chile at the Don Bosco Salesian College and the Lyceum of Men. Hahn later attended the University of Chile where he graduated as a professor of Spanish.

Career
In 1959, while at the University of Chile, he won the Student Federation of Chile's Prize in Poetry. In 1961, at only 22 years old, he won the Society of Chilean Writers' Alerce Prize for the work This Black Rose (Esta Rosa Negra). In 1967 he won the Unique Prize of the First Contest in Northern Poetry of the University of Chile for the (then) regional seat of Antofagasta.

He studied and set himself to the University of Chile's Curriculum in the Teaching of Literature while in residence at Arica. In 1972 he was awarded the degree of Master of Arts by the University of Iowa, US and was named a member of the International Writers' Program there.

In 1972, when he returned to Chile, he took a job as adjunct professor at the University of Chile, Arica. In the next year, 1973, his life would change dramatically, due to political developments in his home country; on September 11 of that year, during the Chilean coup of 1973 he was detained by the U.S.-backed dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, which had violently overthrown the government of the democratically elected President Salvador Allende. Hahn's book, Love's Disease was the only poetry book that was banned during the dictatorship.

Later interviewed about his experiences, Hahn remarked: "September 11 is a difficult date for me to forget, not only on account of the things that happened in the country at large but also because they took me prisoner, and they took me as a prisoner the very same night of September 11, which was deadly serious, since in that very moment they were just killing people without even asking them their names, just totally at random. It was a lottery, and I believe that I'm alive thanks to sheer chance, because there were people who were detained with me and they shot them dead; this could just as well happened to me."

Hahn left Chile in 1974 to set down new roots in the USA. He was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by the University of Maryland College Park, and between 1978 and 1988 he collaborated in the composition of the Handbook of Latin American Studies issued by the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. In 1988, Hahn then moved to Iowa City, Iowa and began teaching at The University of Iowa. In 2008, Hahn retired from teaching and moved back to Chile to focus more on his poetry.

He is a member of the Chilean Academy of Language, and sat on the organizing committee for the Comités del V Congreso Internacional de la Lengua Española (CILE).

Infanta Maria Francisca of Portugal

Infanta Maria Francisca of Braganza (Mary Frances); full name: Maria Francisca de Assis da Maternidade Xavier de Paula e de Alcântara Antónia Joaquina Gonzaga Carlota Mónica Senhorinha Sotera e Caia de Bourbon e Bragança; 22 April 1800 – 4 September 1834) was a Portuguese infanta (princess) daughter of King John VI of Portugal and his spouse Carlota Joaquina of Spain.

Biography
Maria was born in Queluz, Portugal. On 22 September 1816 in Madrid, she married her uncle Infante Carlos Maria Isidro of Spain, "Count of Molina". The couple had three children:

 * Infante Carlos, Count of Montemolin (1818–1861)
 * Juan, Count of Montizón (1822–1887)
 * Infante Fernando (1824–1861)

In 1833, Maria Francisca, her husband and children were exiled from Spain because they refused to recognize Isabella II as heiress to the Spanish throne. They went first to Portugal and then to Alverstoke, Hampshire, UK. While in Hampshire, Maria became ill and died on 4 September 1834.

A crowd of several thousand were known to have visited the village to pay their respects as her body lay at the rectory of St Mary's Gosport, where her funeral was held and a marble stone honours her memory. Although initially interred in St Mary's Catholic Church Gosport, Maria Francisca's remains were later transferred to Trieste Cathedral in Italy, where the Carlist pretenders and their wives are buried.

Four years after her death, Carlos remarried, to Maria Francisca's own sister Maria Teresa, Princess of Beira.

Maria Isabel of Braganza

Maria Isabel of Braganza (Maria Isabel Francisca de Assis Antónia Carlota Joana Josefa Xavier de Paula Micaela Rafaela Isabel Gonzaga; 19 May 1797 – 26 December 1818) was a Portuguese infanta who became Queen of Spain as the second wife of King Ferdinand VII.

Early years
Maria Isabel, born Maria Isabel Francisca de Assis Antónia Carlota Joana Josefa Xavier de Paula Micaela Rafaela Isabel Gonzaga, was born to John VI of Portugal and Carlota Joaquina of Spain on 19 May 1797. She was born as their third child and second daughter. The marriage between her father and mother was unhappy, Carlota Joaquina attempting to have King John VI deemed insane.

In 1807 Napoleon invaded Portugal, and the royal family unwillingly fled to Brazil. Maria Isabel's mother Carlota sent her eldest surviving son, Pedro, to join his father and grandmother on board the ship Principe Real whilst Carlota and the rest of her children would board the Affonso d'Albuquerque.

Upon their arrival, Carlota and her children were forced to shave their heads and wear white muslin hats.

Upbringing
Maria Isabel and her siblings were carefully educated by her mother liberally. Maria Isabel was noted to be kind, balanced and shy, and was much like her father within her personality.

Marriage
On 20 March 1816, Queen Maria I of Portugal perished. Due to this, Maria Isabel's father John became the King of Portugal and Brazil. On 22 February 1816 marriage contracts between Ferdinand VII of Spain and Maria Isabel were officially signed; they would soon marry 29 September 1816. Ferdinand was 32 years old and Maria Isabel was 19.

Towards the end 1816 Maria Isabel and Ferdinand were married, and then settled in Madrid. There, Maria Isabel was then quickly pregnant. Maria Isabel gave birth to a daughter, who they named María Luisa Isabel, on 21 August 1817. María Luisa Isabel died four-five months later.

Death
Maria Isabel was pregnant soon after the birth of María Luisa Isabel, but the birth was indeed a difficult one: the baby was in breech and the physicians soon found that the child had died. Maria Isabel stopped breathing soon thereafter and the doctors thought she was dead.

Maria Isabel's sister protested against the doctors' thoughts on presuming her dead. The king, however, ordered a fatal caesarean. When they started cutting her stomach to extract the dead fetus, she suddenly shouted in pain and collapsed on her bed, bleeding heavily. She died soon afterwards on 26 December 1818 in the Palace of Aranjuez, and was buried at the Escorial — the royal site of San Lorenzo de El Escorial.

Legacy
Queen Maria Isabel's dedication and affection for art led her to gather many treasures from the past and create a royal museum, which would end up being the beginnings of Museo del Prado. It opened on 19 November 1819, a year after the queen's death.

Shark Arm case

The Shark Arm case refers to a series of incidents that began in Sydney, Australia, on 25 April 1935 when a human arm was regurgitated by a captive 3.5-metre tiger shark, resulting subsequently in a murder investigation and trial.

Discovery of the arm
During mid-April, a tiger shark was caught 3 km from Coogee Beach and transferred to the Coogee Aquarium Baths, where it was displayed publicly. Within a week, it became ill and vomited in front of a small crowd, leaving the left hand and forearm of a man bearing a distinctive tattoo floating in the pool. Before it was captured, the tiger shark had devoured a smaller shark. It was this smaller shark that had originally swallowed the human arm.

Investigation
After a description of the tattoo was published in the Sydney Truth, Edwin Smith came forward to identify the arm as belonging to his brother, James "Jimmy" Smith (born in England in 1890), a former boxer and suburban billiard saloon keeper who had been missing since 7 April 1935. Fingerprints confirmed the match. Smith was also a police informer. Examination revealed that the limb had been severed with a knife, which resulted in a murder investigation. Three days later, the aquarium owners killed the shark and gutted it, hampering the initial police investigation.

Early inquiries correctly implicated a Sydney businessman named Reginald William Lloyd Holmes (1892–1935). Holmes was a fraudster and smuggler who also managed a successful family boat-building business at Lavender Bay. Holmes had employed Smith several times to work insurance scams, including one in 1934 in which an over-insured pleasure cruiser named Pathfinder was sunk near Terrigal. Soon afterwards, the pair began criminal activity with Patrick Francis Brady (1889–1965), an ex-serviceman and convicted forger. With specimen signatures from Holmes' friends and clients provided by the boat-builder, Brady would forge cheques for small amounts against their bank accounts that he and Smith then cashed. Police were later able to establish that Smith had been blackmailing Holmes.

Smith was last seen drinking and playing cards with Patrick Francis Brady at the Cecil Hotel in the southern Sydney suburb of Cronulla on 7 April 1935 after telling his wife he was going fishing. Brady had rented a small cottage in Taloombi Street, Cronulla at the time Smith became missing. Police alleged that Smith was murdered at this cottage. Port Hacking and Gunnamatta Bay were searched by the Navy and the Air Force, but the rest of Smith's body was never found. This caused problems for the prosecution when Brady was eventually brought to trial.

Brady was arrested on 16 May and charged with the murder of Smith. A taxicab driver testified that he had taken Brady from Cronulla to Holmes' address at 3 Bay View Street, McMahons Point on the day Smith had gone missing, and that "he was dishevelled, he had a hand in a pocket and wouldn't take it out... it was clear that [he] was frightened."

Initially, Holmes denied any association with Brady but four days later, on 20 May 1935, the businessman went into his boatshed and attempted suicide by shooting himself in the head with a .32 calibre pistol. However, the bullet instead flattened against the bone of his forehead and he was merely stunned. Revived after falling into the water, he crawled into his speedboat and led two police launches on a chase around Sydney Harbour for approximately four hours until he was finally caught and taken to hospital.

Second murder
In early June 1935, Holmes decided to cooperate with the police in investigating the murder of Smith. He told Detective Sergeant Frank Matthews that Brady had killed Smith, dismembered his body and stowed it into a trunk that he had then thrown into Gunnamatta Bay. He then claimed Brady had come to his home, showed him the severed arm and threatened Holmes with murder if he did not receive £500 immediately. Holmes also admitted that after Brady had left his home, he travelled to the Sydney coastal suburb of Maroubra and discarded Smith's arm in the surf.

On 11 June 1935, Holmes withdrew £500 from his account and late in the evening left home, telling his wife he had to meet someone. He was also very cautious as he left his home, accompanied by his wife to the door of his Nash sedan. Early the next morning, he was found dead in his car at Hickson Road, Dawes Point. He had been shot three times at close range. The crime scene was made to appear that Holmes had committed suicide, but forensic police had no doubt that he was murdered. Holmes had been due to give evidence at Smith's inquest later that morning.

Holmes was cremated at Northern Suburbs Crematorium on 13 June 1935. He left an estate valued at over £34,000 in 1935.

Coroner's inquest
The Coroner's inquest into Smith's death began on 12 June 1935 at the City Coroner's Court directed by Mr. E.T. Oram, the same day Holmes was found dead in his car with gunshot wounds to his chest. Although Holmes was the inquest's main witness, he was never offered police protection before his testimony could be heard. Forensic evidence was examined by forensic pathologist Sir Sydney Smith.

The lawyer serving Brady, Clive Evatt KC (1900–1984), claimed to the coroner that there was not enough substance to begin the inquest. Evatt argued that an arm "did not constitute a body", and that Smith, minus his arm, could still be alive. The case is still unsolved.

The inquest's most important witness, Holmes, was then dead; the case against Brady was insufficient due to lack of evidence. The Shark Arm Murders suggests that Smith was killed by Brady on the orders of gangster Edward Frederick ("Eddie") Weyman, who was arrested while attempting to defraud a bank with a forged cheque in 1934 and later during a bank robbery, apparently due to information Smith had given to the police. Smith had been exposed as a police informant, and therefore would have been targeted for assassination.

The police charged Brady with the murder of Smith, although he was later acquitted. For the next 30 years, Brady maintained that he was in no way involved with the murder of Smith. He died at Concord Repatriation General Hospital in Sydney on 18 April 1965, aged 76.

Cultural references
The investigation into the murder of Smith and his severed arm became legendary in Australia's legal history.

It inspired the TV play The Grey Nurse Said Nothing.

In his 1995 book The Shark Arm Murders, Professor Alex Castles claims that Holmes took out a contract on his own life to spare his family the public disgrace of conviction.

Bill Bryson also mentions this case in his book Down Under (known as In a Sunburned Country in the U.S.), but wrongly implies that the arm belonged to a swimmer who was eaten by the shark.

The Shark Arm Case was the basis of a 2003 episode of CSI: Miami. This case was also featured on Season 5, Episode 2 of the popular YouTube series BuzzFeed Unsolved.

It was also basis for the season 4 episode 15 of comedy crime series Psych (titled "The Head, the Tail, the Whole Damn Episode").

Brauer College

Brauer College is a government secondary school, located in Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia.

Originally established as Warrnambool Technical School in 1911, the school was renamed Brauer College at the beginning of 1990 (after noted 20th-century Warrnambool doctor, Alfred Brauer), to reflect its change from a technical institution into a more mainstream college. Brauer has since developed into a large secondary school with an enrolment of approximately 850 students ranging from years 7 to 12. The school is known for both outstanding curricular and extra curricular activities, including consistently high VCE results and outstanding levels of success in public speaking, performing arts and sporting areas.

Boyle has been principal of the College since 2012. The school council president is Kim Young.

Campuses
Brauer's main campus is located on Carumut Road, towards the outskirts of Warrnambool's urban area. The school features a state of the art performing arts centre and gymnasium, as well as extensive classroom and other facilities including a driver education track and supergrass tennis courts. In 2007 the library and science wing were refurbished in addition to the construction of the Australian Technical College Warrnambool campus. Directly north of the school, a multimillion-dollar sports facility known as Brauerander Park has been built. The park features an athletics track as well as planned facilities for field events, soccer & AFL football fields and a 3-hole golf course. The track was completed in mid-May 2007 and was officially opened by the Victorian Governor, Professor David de Kretser in September 2007.

Dunkeld Annexe

The Dunkeld Annexe is a Brauer owned facility located in Dunkeld, in the southern Grampians, used for the purpose of school camps. Years 7 and 8 camping trips take place here where the accessibility to outdoor education is one of its many benefits.

"Two brick rule"
In 2007, the college received extended media attention regarding its unique "two brick rule". The rule, which stated that students of the opposite sex could not come within two brick lengths of each other, was designed to eliminate greetings such as hugging, for fear that this might lead to sexual contact.

Misandry Incident
The college received widespread media attention in March 2021 after it required male students, as young as 12, to stand during a school assembly and apologise for their gender to the female students. This caused a backlash from parents who reported that their sons were confused as to why everybody would look at them as predators.

School principal Jane Boyle has resisted calls to resign but has issued an apology, admitting the assembly was "inappropriate". She has not however, accepted responsibility for violating school policy.

Extra curricular
Aside from the school's curricular achievements, Brauer is also well known within both the Warrnambool and wider community for its success in extra curricular activities.

Public speaking

Brauer has a very strong and long tradition in the art of public speaking and debating. All students are taught the skills to participate in public speaking. The school has long associations with the Warrnambool Eisteddfod, public speaking and debating competitions run by the Rostrum Club, the Lions Club, the Legacy Group, the Apex Club, the VCAA Plain English Speaking Competition and the mooting competition run by Bond University. Brauer's success in these fields has been unmatched, with state and national finalists and champions in all aforementioned competitions. At Eisteddfod level, in 2006 Brauer had over 150 students compete with a high rate of success. In the debating section, Brauer won the overall aggregate for the 16th consecutive year, cementing the school's level of commitment and success. Brauer also participates in the Ballarat region of the Debaters Association of Victoria (DAV), where up to 30 students travel each round to participate, several debaters have previously won Swannie Awards for best debater and progressed to the state final debating rounds. Each year a team of senior public speaking students are chosen to take part in the Bond university mooting competition – an exclusive competition in which Brauer is the only Victorian government school to have won the national title and one of only two schools to have won the competition twice.

Music/performing arts

Brauer's music and performing arts program is, like public speaking, a large part of the school's cohort. Annually, the Brauer musical comprises approximately 150 students as cast, band and backstage members. In 2006, the production was "Copacabana", with "We Will Rock You" in 2007. The musical has been an annual part of Brauer since 1984. Additionally, the Brauer Amateur Dramatics Club (or BAD) produce a non-musical, dramatic performance.

Brauer also supports a number of bands, ensembles and musical solo performers with tuition enabling students to participate in the Warrnambool Eisteddfod and other prestigious music competitions. Around 300 students are involved with the music program.

Sport

Brauer is a major player in the sporting community. The college sports academy consists of 14 sports with students from years 7–12 participating. Academy teams compete against other schools and in larger competitions. House sports are also a major part of the school's sporting program. There are four houses: Members of each house participate annually for house championships in swimming, athletics, cross country and overall. In 2006, Geefa was house champion, with the 2007 championships still underway.

 * Orion (blue)

Industry Education Centre (formerly Australian Technical College Warrnambool)
In 2006, Brauer in partnership with Baimbridge College Hamiltion won the tender for the Australian Technical College in Warrnambool. Commencing its programs at the beginning of 2007, the ATCW offers courses in commercial cookery, mechanics, engineering, metal fabrication and carpentry.

Following the federal election of Kevin Rudd and the ALP to power in 2007, the ATC project was discontinued. As the ATC Warrnambool campus was one of the few finished colleges in the state, it remained operational in various states until in 2009 it became the Industry Education Centre, jointly operated by South West Institute of TAFE, Brauer College & other local school and employment agency bodies.

Alumni

 * Tom Ballard and Alex Dyson, radio presenters
 * Ben Barber, actor
 * Marc Leishman, golfer
 * Jordan Lewis, AFL footballer
 * Brent Moloney, AFL footballer
 * Kathryn Ross, Australian rower
 * Justin Street, musician

Other information

 * Past principals include Duncan Stalker OAM who was principal from 1978–2001 as well as being president of the Australian Schools Principals Association throughout the late nineties. Stalker is now head of the Brauerander Trust, responsible for the development and construction of Brauerander Park.
 * The school's first principal was John King. One of Brauer's most prestigious awards, the John King Citizenship Award, is named in his honour and is awarded to only a handful of students each year who demonstrate exceptional citizenship, leadership and academic/sporting endeavours.
 * Years 7, 8 and 9 camps take place at the school's Dunkeld camp, while at year 10 students have the option of going on a skiing trip to the Victorian Alps, and one of two major central Australia/east coast trips in year 11.
 * The school's LOTE program is Japanese, with several trips to Miura (Warrnambool's sister city) and Fukuoka taking place each year.
 * Additionally, the school also offers an annual trip to China, and a biannual trip to India where a boys' cricket team take on Daly College in an annual exchange program.
 * Brauer is host to approximately 20 exchange students from Japan, China, South Korea, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and Sudan.
 * Students participate annually in the Australian Geography, English, Writing, Mathematics, Science and Information Technology competitions as well as other competitions such as Tournament of Minds.

Talk:Rahab (term)

Rahab (the harlot)

In the Book of Joshua, Rahab was a prostitute living in Jericho. Rahab and her family were saved from the complete destruction of Jericho because she hid spies from the army of israelites who were encamped across the Jordan river.

Rahab was the original "scarlet" woman as she had to hand a scarlet thread in her windows as a sign to the invaders that it was to be spared.

She joins the israelites and later marries Salmon, one of the spies she had saved. Her descendants include David and Jesus (see geneology in Matthew 1).

 * The talk on Rahab the harlot seems out of place here, it belongs here: Rahab... yet since Rahab is a Cananite demon/deity, it may be that Rahab the harlot was named after Rahab the Demon/deity, in which case this COULD be relevant? --Jlc46 21:01, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

The statement "This name was also applied to Egypt, and the destruction of the Pharaoh after the exodus of the Israelites from that country, was compared with the slaying of Rahab, perhaps a late corruption of Rahab slaying the Pharaoh (the Red Sea drowning his troops)." Surely seems flawed doesn't it? Myth logically, it is the slaying of the waters by Ba'al, or Marduk that is important here... so it is the drying of the Red Sea that is important. Thus this seems to be a Ba'al polemic, saying that Jehovah is mightier than Ba'al and is the real slayer of the waters, as evidenced by his drying of the Red Sea. If there is a myth where "Rahab slay[s] the Pharaoh" which could be an earlier source I am not aware of it, and surely a reference should be given or the entire paragraph should be cut. If the author is just referring to the Exodus itself where the waters slay Pharaoh, then where is the evidence that Rahab is another name for Egypt, since it is Egypt that is being slain? I haven't cut it yet, to provide someone an opportunity to speak for its survival here first. Can someone give a reason why it should remain, or does someone have a reference for this supposed original myth that this is a corruption of??? In general the thinking appears incorrect. --Jlc46 21:01, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

 * References

I added a reference to Day (1985) even though I'm not suggesting it supports all the statements made in this article. If someone wants to read this book and edit Rahab and Lotan and possibly Leviathan accordingly, it's an excellent book and would be very helpful to the community. Yonderboy 20:56, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

The name for Rahab (the harlot) is a different Hebrew word than Rahab as Egypt/sea monster.

Old Testament monster
probably refers to the same legend as Psalm 89, but would it be OR to include that? Or can we source it somewhere? It's useful and verifiable information IMO, and borderline OR at worse. But interested in other views. Andrewa (talk) 23:37, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

I wonder, is this really even part of the topic Rahab (Egypt)? The connection between the mythical monster and Egypt seems a bit tenuous. At the very least least, the connection is not well explained in the current article.

Two possibilities... One is to split the article, the other, to rename it to a better disambiguator than (Egypt), something that covers both the monster and the imagery. But not sure what... Hmmmm... Andrewa (talk) 06:20, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Andrewa, OR (original research) here on WP basically refers to a novel idea, argument, link or hypothesis being proposed for which there is no source. In order to prove something is not one's original OR, one needs to show an externally published source (but not a blog or such) where the same link is made. So if it is verifiable as you say, it should be a simple matter to come up with a source mentioning it somewhere in connection with the article topic, then we can paraphrase and attribute the view in that source.

 * What about (Monster) as a disambiguator? Benji man (talk) 22:17, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

 * You know what, the "monster" stuff is first attested only in the Later Mediaeval Ages and comes directly out of the use in Old Testament times as a name for Egypt per most commentators, so I'm not sure there's any need to either split or rename this article, the best course of action would be to look for the best sources for more detail.

Edit suggestions
Hello everyone! I am a student at Miami University Ohio. I am currently in a course that studies the religions of the old testament and found this topic to be quite intriguing. Upon reading about the word "Rahab" I wrote the following thoughts about the topic:

For the article w:Rahab_(Egypt): Prior to the Medieval adoption of "Rahab," to mean demon or sea beast, the name also appears in Psalms: 104, Psalms 89; 5-12, as well as Job 38: 8-11 and Isaiah 51:9-10. Rahab, in these passages, take the meaning of primeval chaotic sea, multi-headed dragon or Leviathan. It can be assumed that long before Jewish mythos, the ancient Jews emulated the creation fables told by their predecessors. The Babylonians, for example, told of a thunder god, Marduk, and a Sea Beast, Tiamat, battling for supreme power over the other gods, in the Enuma Elis. It can be speculated that these two characters in the Babylonian myth, are parallel to the creation stories found in the Biblical passages containing the name Rahab. [1] Jump up ^ Coogan, Michael D. (2014). The Old Testament: A Historical and Literary Introduction to Hebrew Scriptures. New York: Oxford University Press. pp. 34–40. ISBN 978-0-I9-994661-7 Check |isbn= value (help). ZarathustraSay20 (talk) 14:30, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Hi User:ZarathustraSay20! You could be a little clearer about the myths in which these creatures/gods are found. You could also make clearer connections between the Babylonian creation stories and those found in Genesis, as well as make a reference to the vestigial nature of the polytheistic undertones in creation stories in the Hebrew Bible. Sctimmons (talk) 20:21, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Rahab before Creation
Hello, I am a student at Miami University in Oxford, OH and was looking at the page for a class I am taking. I found something that I think would be a useful addition to the folklore section. Underneath the section labeled "Jewish folklore" I plan on adding this sentence.

"Rahab has also been mentioned in connection with Biblical Creation, that Rahab was destroyed by the creator before he began his work of creation."

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Dkcincy (talk) 04:36, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Rahab is not known outside the Bible, and nothing in the Bible puts Rahab before creation, it is an assumption people make based on the Babylonian Marduk-Tiamat creation battle myth (see especially Gunkel, Creation and Chaos, 1895, English translation 2005). Much confusion comes from a failure to recognize the fact that the Bible portrays the crossing of the Red Sea event as a re-eanctment of the first three days of creation (Exodus 14:20-22); the division between light and darkness, separation of the two armies by "heaven" (cloud/angel of God), and dry ground coming out of the sea. The drowning of the Egyptians is in effect the slaying of Rahab (Isa 51:9-10)(note Rahab can also be a nickname for Egypt). This does not mean Rahab is only a nickname for Egypt; elsewhere he is called "the evil serpent" (Job 26:13). Most translations do not use "evil" for the word here (bariach); the verb has the idea of getting away (often translated "flee"), but a "Janus [2 sided] parallelism" in Job 9:25 suggests another meaning, "evil," "My days are swifter than a runner, they (1) flee away / (2) they are evil: they see no good. Rahab thus points to the spiritual father of the wicked, the serpent cursed in Genesis 3:15.

Leviathan is also called "evil serpent" in Isa 27:1, which is pointing to the future, not creation. The name is usually related to Canaanite L-t-n (Lotan or Litan), a seven-headed dragon (no connection to creation with him either). In Psalm 74 the psalmist recalls his defeat at the Red Sea, so we can see Leviathan and Rahab as alternate names for the one later called "Satan." I have a paper on this at academia.edu: https://www.academia.edu/7783524/Creation_or_Redemption_When_Did_God_Defeat_Rahab_Leviathan?email_work_card=view-paper — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlronning (talk • contribs) 16:26, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Warren Cann

Warren Reginald Cann (born 20 May 1950 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada) is a Canadian drummer and songwriter. He was a founding member of the British new wave band Ultravox.

Early life
The son of two British immigrants, he began to be interested in electronics while he was at school. After playing in bands in Vancouver, he came to Britain in 1972, where he found a more creative environment. He established himself in London, where he formed his first band, along with Huw Lloyd-Langton, future Hawkwind member, on guitar and Rob Rawlinson, later in Overnight Angels, on bass.

Ultravox and other contemporary works
Shortly thereafter, Cann contacted John Foxx, who invited Cann to join his fledgling band Tiger Lily with bassist Chris Cross and guitarist Stevie Shears. The band recorded sole single "Ain't Misbehavin'", which was released in 1975 and used as a main theme to the namesake softcore porno film. In 1976, Tiger Lily changed its name to Ultravox!, and later in 1978 to Ultravox.

Cann played on the first albums released by Island Records, Ultravox! (1977), Ha! Ha! Ha! (both 1977) and Systems of Romance (1978). After a tour of United States and Canada the band fragmented because of the departure of vocalist John Foxx and guitarist Robin Simon. Ultravox replaced them with singer/guitarist Midge Ure in Summer 1979.

Ure-led Ultravox signed to Chrysalis in 1980 and went on to have a commercial success worldwide. Cann, having a role as a songwriter along with Currie, contributed lyrics to 2/3 of the first Ure-led album "Vienna", sang backing vocals, co-lead and lead on some Ultravox songs: "Mr. X" (1980), "Paths and Angles" (1981), "We Came to Dance" (1982) and "Break Your Back" (1983).

He remained active outside the band during Ultravox success. In 1982 he played acoustic and electronic percussion for Zaine Griff (album "Figvres") and Peter Godwin (single "Images of Heaven"). He and Hans Zimmer were a part of the backing band for a New Romantic singer Ronny on her London show in The Dominion. Ronny also participated in the Helden project, formed by Cann and Zimmer that year, which merged electronic, orchestral and classical influences. Helden were the first music project to play The London Planetarium in March 1983. They released a single "Holding on" (1983) and recorded an album called "Spies" which featured many guests (Zaine Griff, Eddie Maelov from Eddie & Sunshine, Brian Robertson from Thin Lizzy etc.). It remains unreleased.

In September 1984 Cann and Zimmer performed as guests (on drums and keyboards, respectively) on a concert by the Spanish band Mecano. Two songs from that show were released in 1985 on LP "En Concierto". Also in 1985 Cann produced a single for the eccentric singer Duffo, "Gonna Send the Boys Around", and took part in the Doctor Who charity single "Doctor in Distress".

Cann was ousted from the band in 1986, after disagreements arose with other band members who started to consider him a problem for the progress of the band. Cann wanted a fully programmed percussion sound while the others preferred a "back-to-basics" approach. In his autobiography, Midge Ure later commented that in retrospect he considered the firing unjust, unwarranted, and a result of misplaced tensions, describing Cann's dismissal as "cutting the band's jugular vein".

Following his departure from Ultravox Cann recorded a solo demo which was turned down by Chrysalis Records. He did session work for other artists, including 7000 Danses by Indochine, appeared on several television shows with Kim Wilde and produced demos for aspiring bands. He joined a band called The Sons of Valentino, and then played guitar and keyboards with The Huw Lloyd-Langton Group. He later moved to Los Angeles to pursue a future in film scoring. Cann made the music to Deadly Currency (1998), as well as writing for music technology magazines such as Sound on Sound.

Cann rejoined Ultravox over two decades later in 2008, which reunited the classic lineup last seen at Live Aid in 1985. In April 2009 the band toured with "Return to Eden". In May 2012 the first studio album in 28 years by this lineup was released with the title Brilliant.

After the Brilliant Tour, Cann retired to stay with his family.

Technical innovations
Cann and his technicians were among the first to modify commercially available rhythm units or drum machines, so they could alter and override the preset manufacturer programs. This is notable on "Hiroshima Mon Amour", from the album Ha!-Ha!-Ha!. When Ultravox were recording Vienna, Cann's electronic ventures would become part of the Ultravox sound. The acquisition of a Roland CR-78 proved something of a headache for Cann, as he saw great sonic potential in it, but it had limited pattern programmability. In the process of adding some practical customisations to the CR-78, Cann became somewhat persona non grata at the Roland headquarters in the UK.

The initial reaction to the usage of drum machines led to bewilderment among the audience, who wondered what Cann was doing during some songs. Among claims that he was doing nothing, he decided to equip his drum machines with clear perspex cases instead of wood panels, and mount a variety of LEDs inside them as a feature Cann himself described as "absolutely useless, but very impressive looking on a darkened stage; now it would be obvious I was actually doing something." (From Jonas Wårstad's interview at Discog)

In addition to his drum machine work, Cann designed several modifications for bass player Chris Cross' Minimoog, among them a primitive sequencer (built by Roy Gwinn) made from a series of toggle switches to add syncopation to the synthesiser's ability to create a stream of eighth notes, and a proprietary triggering system that allowed Cann and Cross to synchronise the Minimoog with Cann's drum machines, a feat performed almost three years before MIDI was officially introduced in 1983. According to Midge Ure's autobiography, when the Minimoog broke down on tour, Ultravox borrowed one from The Cars, but it didn't help as it lacked the proprietary modifications.

Legacy
Speaking in 1986, Rush drummer Neil Peart named Cann as one of the drummers who had influenced and inspired him.
