History
Banaroo: The Star Diary

Following the continued success of casting shows on German television, Super RTL designed the Star Diary as a new television format. The spiritual father of the project is Michael Bolte, member of the marketing department of Super RTL. Based on the concept of pop stars, the new program was to accompany a newly assembled pop band documentary during their first career steps and thus provide an authentic view of the initial work of a band. In contrast to other formats, however, all interactive elements for the continuous selection of the casting participants were dispensed with.

The casting took place before the beginning of filming in close cooperation with the record company Na Klar! Records Hennef / Berlin. So-called high potentials were to be found, young artists who were still at the beginning of their careers, but who were already able to refer their first experiences to audiences in the field of song and dance. From the casting Dessauvagie, Dreyer, Geissler and Magro emerged as participants in the series. Banaroo was chosen as the name of the band. According to Vittorio Magro, he goes back to his own experience during a visit to the zoo. When a small child asked him if kangaroos also eat bananas, he replied, "If kangaroos were to eat bananas, they would have to be called banaroos ..."

With the broadcast of Banaroo: The Star Diary began Super RTL on April 18, 2005. By July 10, 2005, at 10:05 pm, a total of 84 chapters were shown daily. The series was produced by Mark Feuerstake, who also directed. For the filming, the four band members moved into a shared flat in Cologne. In the five-minute episodes, viewers were able to follow all of Banaroo's career-building activities, such as voice training and choreography, but also gained private insights. Each Saturday morning, Super RTL broadcast a 20-minute week summary.

The program has become the most successful own production of Super RTL since the existence of the transmitter. Every evening, an average of 590,000 viewers (market share: 2.9%) followed the series, in the peak even up to 800,000 spectators. In the target group of 3- to 13-year-olds, which is relevant to Super RTL, The Star Diary had on average 370,000 viewers and a market share of 30.2&.

Debut single & Banaroo's World
Five weeks after the first episode came on May 23, 2005, the debut single Dubi Dam Dam on the market. In addition to a remix, also included the title song of the series: Make You See the Stars. The single was produced by Carsten Wegener and Timo Hohnholz, who were also responsible for essential parts of the following albums. And as with other cast bands before, the strategy at Banaroo was to use constantly available television presence as a marketing tool. The song immediately reached second place in Germany in the singles charts. He was similarly successful in Austria and Switzerland.

The debut album Banaroo's World released five weeks later on 20, June 2005, was also a great sales success. it debuted 5th and rose to number 1 in August 2005. In Austria, the album debuted at number 1 and stayed there for 7 weeks.

Shortly thereafter, the second single produced by Thorsten Brötzmann was decoupled from the album. Space Cowboy largely confirmed the success of the first single and reached the top five in Germany. It was certified platinum in Germany, and certified Gold in both Austria and Switzerland.

At the end of September 2005, Banaroo received a gold record in Germany for more than 150,000 singles sold and a platinum record for more than 200,000 albums sold. Also in Switzerland and in Austria single and album were each awarded gold.

For their success, Banaroo was nominated as best newcomer both for the pop music award Comet of the German music broadcaster VIVA and for the Echo.

After the expiry of the TV series came on August 8, 2005, the DVD Banaroo - The Movie! on the market. In addition to the three music videos for Dubi Dam Dam, Space Cowboy and Make You See the Stars and five other live recordings, the DVD contains three non-broadcast episodes of the Star Diary. They show a visit of the band in the studio of the production company and a joint trip to the Rhine. As bonus material Outtakes of the series were packed on the DVD.

Christmas World
Just five months after the debut, the follow-up album was released on 25 November 2005 under the title Christmas World, a compilation of well-known Christmas carols, which were re-recorded by Banaroo. The album was again produced by Carsten Wegener and Timo Hohnholz.

The only newly composed song on the album was Coming Home for Christmas, which was previously released as a single. Not least thanks to targeted marketing campaigns - the title was selected as the official song of the RTL charity campaign ChariTree - reached the single in all German-speaking countries again the top-10.

Banaroo returned on November 11, 2005, with their third single, "Coming Home For Christmas". It failed to do as well as previous singles, however it still made the top ten in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

On November 25, 2005, Banaroo released their second album, Christmas World. The album, despite its name, did not include just Christmas songs. The album debuted at #12 on the German charts on December 9, 2005.

Amazing
In February 2006, Banaroo returned with their fourth single "Uh Mamma". It charted in the top ten in Germany and Austria. In Switzerland it reached #11.

Just in time for Super RTL to start Yoomiii 's next Star Diary band, Banaroo released another album on March 24, 2006, the third in nine months. Musically, it largely tied to the debut album. It charted at #2 in Austria and was certified Gold. It charted at #6 in Germany and #25 in Switzerland.

Five of the twelve songs came again from the producer team Wegener / Hohnholz, a track headed Dieter Bohlen. As an extra, the band re-recorded the title song of the cartoon series Kim Possible - originally by Christina Milian. The young fanbase remained loyal to Banaroo. Album and the pre-decoupled single Uh Mamma again climbed in the charts of all three German-speaking countries on the front seats. In Austria, the album reached gold status four weeks after its release.

"Sing and Move (La La La Laaaa)" was the second and last single from the album. It was released June 27, 2006. It failed to match the success of previous singles, not making the top twenty and only reaching a peak of #51.

on November 17, 2006, Banaroo' re-released the Christmas Album titled 'Christmas World' This has a varied track list. In addition, the two music videos are omitted. Another title is the bonus song Song of Joy.

Fly Away
Having been away from the music scene for nearly nine months, Banaroo returned with "Ba Yonga Wamba". It was released March 23, 2007, and also failed to match the success of previous singles, although it did chart higher than "Sing and Move (La La La Laaaa)". The song also managed to chart in the top thirty in Germany and Austria.

They released their seventh and last single "I'll Fly Away" on May 4, 2007. It only reached number 84 in Germany.

Banaroo released their fourth and last studio album Fly Away on July 4, 2007. Failing to do as well as previous albums, it still charted at #24 in Germany. It was promoted by the broadcaster Nickelodeon, In the period around the release date Banaroo was used as a jury in the Nick production Nick Talent. The winner of the show, Naomi Walz, was allowed to shoot the video clip for the single I'll Fly Away with Banaroo.

The Best of Banaroo
On October 19, 2007, Banaroo released their greatest hits album The Best of Banaroo featuring 18 songs from their four albums, plus two new songs. Because the album failed to chart the band lost their record deal.

2008: Disbandment
After the release of The Best of Banaroo, Banaroo disappeared from the music world. It was confirmed in 2008 that they would not be releasing any more music and that they had broken up.

2013: Second Line-up & Comeback
In 2013, Na Klar! held a casting in Germany to pick four new members for Banaroo, the reason being that the original members are too busy with their personal lives and other personal reasons. After the auditions completed, the members chosen as the new members were Doro Farkas, Laura Luppino, Alvin Philipps, and Daniel Langer. While still being under Na Klar! and Sony Music, they also joined forces with Villa Productions for their comeback.

The first new single was a new version of Banaroo's most popular song, "Dubi Dam Dam", released as "Dubi Dam Dam (2013 Version)". It was released as a single on May 17, 2013, and includes two versions of the song. Following its release, Banaroo also announced their new album called "Bubblegum World" and revealed its cover art and track list. "Bubblegum World" is a tribute album to the bubblegum genre and some of its most popular artists. Banaroo also started touring with the Toggo Tour in May, performing many of the songs that would be included on "Bubblegum World".

Their fifth studio album "Bubblegum World" was released on June 7, 2013. They released a second single from the album, a remake of another popular Banaroo song called "Space Cowboy" on June 21, 2013. Banaroo also announced a contest for the summer, where the winner would get to meet Banaroo and spend the day with them in the studio. Despite the fair amount of promotion for the releases and constant touring, their album and singles from the album failed to chart anywhere.

Second Disbandment & Post-disbandment
Banaroo continued to tour until their final tour date on October 7. After completing their tour, Banaroo announced a new concert date, which took place on October 17. Following Banaroo's last Facebook update on October 24, things became quiet around Banaroo. On November 6, Laura Luppino announced on her official Facebook page that Banaroo would be disbanding a second time, as the members had different ideas for Banaroo's future and that it would be impossible for them to continue together. The other members, as well as their producer Oliver DeVille, have confirmed the disbandment. The management of Banaroo has yet to comment on the sudden disbandment publicly, however, their producer has mentioned the disbandment took place when Doro and Alvin decided to leave Banaroo and pursue other aspects in the entertainment industry. It was also confirmed that they were planning to release a Christmas single in December, however, it was never recorded.

Following the disbandment, former members Alvin and Doro confirmed that they would soon debut as a duo, however, they have yet to make a debut as a duo. Laura Luppino has moved forward as a soloist, still working under Villa Productions. In 2014, Laura competed in the pre-selections for Eurovision, representing Switzerland with "The Energy Of Love (In Your Eyes)". As part of a contest, she gave away a signed copy of Banaroo's "Bubblegum World" album.

Doro Farkas has since gone solo as well and has begun releasing solo material, meaning the duo project planned with Alvin Philipps may not be happening. Alvin Phillips has moved forward recently, continuing as a model and also as an actor. Daniel Langer, however, hasn't been active in the entertainment industry since Banaroo's disbandment. He has decided to continue with his personal life and it is unknown if he has any plans to return to music in the future, however, he has been pictured with Laura Luppino and Oliver DeVille since then.

Francis Howgill

Francis Howgill (1618 – 11 February 1669) was a prominent early member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in England. He preached and wrote on the teachings of the Friends and is considered one of the Valiant Sixty, men and women who were early proponents of Friends' beliefs and suffered for them.

Life
Howgill was born about 1618, probably of yeoman parents, in Todthorne, near Grayrigg, Westmorland in northern England. He probably made his living as a farmer and a tailor. He studied theology and in 1652 became a minister of the established church in Colton. He explored the teachings of the Anabaptists, the Independents, Seekers and Baptists: but shortly after, he and John Audland (another minister) encountered George Fox, an early leader in the Friends movement, preaching on Firbank Fell and were convinced. Soon after Howgill was imprisoned in Appleby-in-Westmorland for refusing to remove his hat when appearing in court in defence of James Nayler.

Afterwards he met Edward Burrough. The two spread the Quaker message together and became close friends. Among those they converted around 1654 was Hester Biddle. They established the Religious Society of Friends in London and also worked in Bristol and Ireland. Howgill published A Woe Against the Magistrates, Priests, and People of Kendall, (1654) endorsing the Quaker practice of "going naked as a sign". The Quakers in London came under the influence of Nayler and when Fox parted company with him in 1656, Howgill tried, unsuccessfully, to bring about a reconciliation. In 1657 he was in Scotland, and in 1661 he was in prison in London.

Howgill was married first to a woman named Dorothy. After her death in 1657 he married Mary, who is counted, along with him, as one of the Valiant Sixty, a group of early Quaker preachers and missionaries. After the Restoration he claimed, in his tract One Warning More (1660), that the nation had "chosen madness". In 1663 he refused to swear the oath of allegiance to the crown and was sentenced to life imprisonment at Appleby. During that time people came to support him and to seek advice. but his General Epistle (1665) showed pessimism as to any Quaker triumph over adversity. He became sick in prison and died on 11 February 1669. In 1676 a collection of his writings, The Dawnings of the Gospel-Day, and its Light and Glory Discovered, was published.

Salomo Glassius

Salomo Glassius (Salomon Glaß; 20 May 1593 – 27 July 1656) was a German theologian and biblical critic born at Sondershausen, in the principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen.

In 1612, he entered the University of Jena. In 1615, with the intent of studying law, he moved to Wittenberg. Due to illness, he returned to Jena after a year. Here, as a student of theology under Johann Gerhard, he directed his attention especially to Hebrew and the cognate dialects. In 1619 he was made an adjunctus of the philosophical faculty. He later was appointment as Professor of Hebrew.

From 1625 to 1638, he was superintendent in Sondershausen. Shortly after the death of Gerhard (1637) he was, in accordance with Gerhard's last wish, appointed to succeed him at Jena. Later, at the earnest invitation of Duke Ernest the Pious, he relocated in 1640 to Gotha as court preacher and general superintendent in the execution of important reforms which had been initiated in the ecclesiastical and educational establishments of the Duchy. He played a role in the Syncretistic Controversy. His principal work, Philologia sacra (1623), marked the transition from the earlier views on questions of biblical criticism to those of the school of Spener. It was more than once reprinted during his lifetime, and appeared in a new and revised form, edited by J. A. Dathe (1731-1791) and G. L. Bauer at Leipzig. Glassius succeeded Gerhard as editor of the Weimar Bibelwerk, one of the Elector Bibles, this particular one called the Nuremberg Bible. He wrote the commentary on the poetical books of the Old Testament for that publication. A volume of his Opuscula was printed at Leiden in 1700.

Glassius died in Gotha on 27 July 1656, aged 63.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Maoririder/Proposed decision

Not to make fun but I think i'am inocent until provin guilty. Tony I hope you got my back. Lucky why did you have to go to the dark side. All i got to say is please consider me a person who wants to help wikipedia not hurt. thank you Maoririder 13:40, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

How I'am doing in the hearings? --Maoririder 19:54, 16 November 2005 (UTC) I Apoligize to everyone at Wikipedia and Wikinews and Wikiquote and Wikionary and everywhere else Wikimedia. I still say I will be the best editor I can and when I die or i'am killed or sent to prison or whatever you may please forgive me... please reply. --Maoririder 19:54, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Whats the latest? --Maoririder 21:36, 18 November 2005 (UTC) i have not heard from Lucky??? Sorry you got mad

Why is there a motion to close when there is nothing in the "Proposed remedies" and "Proposed enforcements" sections???

The difference
What is expected to be the difference between mentorship now and mentorship then? Remember that the reason the RfC ended up being brought was that Maoririder steadfastly refused to talk to just about everyone about nearly everything. This seems like the need to impose some remedy is felt, but that there is no useful remedy available to address what are felt to be the concerns needing some kind of remedy. -Splash talk 03:37, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * It is my impression that none of the "mentorships" that were attempted previously were conducted by people who knew how to be a mentor. Kelly Martin (talk) 03:48, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok.
 * I'm a little wary of this new creature called MENTCOM. They have everything from Probation Officers to self-claimed powers "to act upon an editor". I hope this isn't assignment to a hit-squad-cum-racket. Not that it is formally assignment to MENTCOM at all, but we might as well acknowledge that it basically is such, unless a mentor is named in the remedy (I'm not volunteering, just asking). -Splash talk 05:00, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Biography
User:Lilkunta and I seem to disagree on what the biography section of the article should say. The two versions can be seen here, with Lilkunta's version on the left, and mine on the right. Please view the comparison before commenting

My concerns are as follows:
 * I think that Lilkunta's version reads too much like a story, rather than a factual biography. Such sentences as "They decided having children was for God to control--not them." are unencyclopedic in tone, and POV in that not everyone even believes in a God, for instance.  The entire biography section of Lilkunta's version is similarly problematic.
 * In terms of a confirmation of a newest pregnancy, "Bloggingbaby.com" website does not seem to meet Wikipedia's requirements for WP:Attribution

I have requested that Lilkunta discuss these concerns here. Joie de Vivre 20:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

1)I put the {story} tag in the "beginnings" section. How michelle/jimB met is referenced numerous times in interviews that they have given. If u want to edit it 2 meet "pov" fine, but u always just delete the whole section to your version.

2) JBD sent email confirmation to blggingbaby, which is why it is here. If u doubt it, why not put {fact} until 27 July 07, bc on that day we will know for sure. U always just rv to you version. Lilkunta 00:39, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

Response: Thank you for coming to the Talk page. I would like to address your answers: 1) The story tag is not intended to alert readers to an upcoming story-like section. Its purpose is to alert readers that the upcoming section does not meet Wikipedia's quality standards or conform to the WP:Neutral point of view.  The addition of the tag means that the section needs to be changed.  When you keep reverting to a version which needs change, it degrades the quality of the article. Your version's section on how Jim Bob and Michelle met is unencyclopedic in tone and has multiple errors in grammar and punctuation.  I have made many changes to it and included a paragraph based on the sources you provided.

2) As I have repeated numerous times, "bloggingbaby.com" fails WP:Attribution, particularly Attribution. I have reverted the inclusion of that source because it violates basic policies and standards of quality.  The reason I don't just slap the  tag on it is that per WP:BLP:
 * "I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information, but it is particularly true of negative information about living persons." -- Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia

I guess you will have to wait to state that there is another pregnancy until the Duggars make such an announcement on their website, in the newspaper, on television, or via another reliable source.
 * Excuse you? That is very smug! Bloggingbaby rec'd an email from JimBob confirming the pregnancy.  Y dont u email the Duggars? If they say they arent pregnant, THEN delete it. Lilkunta 12:45, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

3) Per the WP:Manual of style:
 * Headers are only supposed to have the first letter capitalized.
 * References go outside punctuation, not inside.

The version to which you keep reverting reinstates all of these errors, which took me a long time to fix. I ask that if you wish to include information, please consider adding to the version I worked to improve. Joie de Vivre 01:02, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Same thing 2 u. Y dont u correct the minor errors instead of reverting back again to your version? O & u DID revert, not surprised. Lilkunta 16:22, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

You see how u said that "i worked to improve". You want this article to say what you waant it to say, and disregard other's addditons. Do you have proof that Michelle's friend 'took her to see the movie'? In the interview M gave she said her friend told her about the movie. U r changing the factual info ! U DONT OWN THIS WIKI PAGE! Lilkunta 12:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I regret the minor error in interpretation, regarding Michelle and the circumstances regarding the film she saw. I think that in light of the many errors that your version contained, that it would have been better for you to correct my small error rather than reinstate all the errors in your version.

Regarding the bloggingbaby reference, I will repeat it as many times as is necessary: that source cannot be used, because it fails WP:Attribution. I have not yet reverted but someone should. Joie de Vivre 20:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I already explained that I already took the time to correct the errors in your version, and that when you keep reverting and insisting on starting from the version that existed before I corrected the errors, you are essentionally saying that I should have to correct them all over again. That would be extremely tedious. One user, Ulysses411 has come forward to state their opinion of my version: "Joie de Vivre's version most closely complies with Wikipedia’s guidelines in regards to style and WP:NPOV as well as presenting the information in a more encyclopedic manner.' In an effort to build consensus, please consider the effort I already placed in correcting those errors.  Please consider adding to the version that I put effort in to fix.  Joie de Vivre 18:10, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Ulys could be ur friend. Of course she/he will side with u. I too put effort in. Have u tried adding to my edits? When I look it is always reverted.Lilkunta 19:44, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

Pls STOP censoring me. U have heavily fractures this thread. Lilkunta 19:44, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

If anyone is "fracturing" the discussionm, it is Lilkunta. They keep interspersing their comments within my comments. I move them out of my comments to the bottom where they belong. I do not edit the content of their comments in any way. I also moved a personal comment about me to my Talk page, where it belongs. That is not "censorship", it is preventing the Talk page from becoming completely unreadable. Joie de Vivre 21:57, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I am restoring my posts. Pls dont move them. Lilkunta 08:36, 2 April 2007 (UTC).

Syntax/ Grammar/ Etc ( wording )
3) Per the WP:Manual of style: The version to which you keep reverting reinstates all of these errors, which took me a long time to fix. Joie de Vivre 01:02, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Headers are only supposed to have the first letter capitalized.
 * References go outside punctuation, not inside.

Then correct the 'errors' instead of again reverting back 2 ur verison. U also revert & then WRONGLY accuse others of reverting. Lilkunta 12:45, 30 March 2007 (UTC)'''

Your use of scare quotes is not accurate because they are errors. Placing references inside punctuation is contraindicated in the WP:Manual of style, as is capitalizing anything other than the first word (or proper nouns) in a section title. I already explained that those changes were very tedious and time-consuming! I don't want to make them all again. Why should we start with a version that is more broken than another?

I dont know what a scare quote its. I really dont care. U said dont revert, make changes. I think u should heed ur own worlds. Lilkunta 18:46, 1 April 2007 (UTC)'

I included a wikilink to Scare quotes for just that reason. As I keep repeating, editors are encouraged to remove unsourced or poorly sourced information, such as the "bloggingbaby" reference. Joie de Vivre 18:54, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

(moving interspersed comment to bottom per WP:TALK - Joie de Vivre 18:56, 1 April 2007 (UTC)) U also revert & then WRONGLY accuse others of reveting. Lilkunta 18:46, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I have publicly announced that I am reverting your changes. You are not allowed to add unsourced material to the article, particularly since it is a biography of a living person. I will remove it as many times as you put it up. That does not violate 3rr. It cannot be here. Joie de Vivre 18:58, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

This is my public post that I'm restoring my words. I read the Scare quotes page & it doenst apply to me.Lilkunta 08:49, 2 April 2007 (UTC).

U Added Religious References
U added links to prostelyzing, contraception, etc. This page was just for info about the Duggars having alot of kids. MAny ppl come here after watching Disc & TLC ch specials about their large families. But now u've made it in2 a page that is preaching ministry &/or advocates the bible. Lilkunta 12:45, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I included a Wikilink to Christian views on contraception for the phrase "contraceptive use was incompatible with their beliefs", and a link to proselytizing for the phrase "making visitations to reach out to potential church members". How does this "advocate the bible"? Frankly, I think the colloquial phrase that you included, "she committed her life to God" is a lot more preachy than the phrase I had used: "she converted to Christianity" (my version). Joie de Vivre 20:10, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Ppl come here bc they google Duggar and this wiki comes up. They r interested in the family having alot of kids. IF they want info on the D's religion, the D' have their own website 4 that info. I dont think the religious links r neccess, but put it up to the majority to see what they think.Lilkunta 18:49, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

Yeah, I tried that several times. You reverted it again and again. There is absolutely nothing wrong with including the information about their religion. It's sourced. Joie de Vivre 18:55, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

But u dont revert agin & again? I think may end up hear after googling duggar. Those searches want to know about the family, so the religious links arent necc. But I guess they dont hurt.Lilkunta 09:13, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Controversy
I am coming to this debate with absolutely no previous knowledge of the subject so I hope to be able to provide unbiased insights. After reviewing the two versions of the article, one by Lilkunta and the other by Joie de Vivre, it appears to me that Joie de Vivre’s version most closely complies with Wikipedia’s guidelines in regards to style and WP:NPOV as well as presenting the information in a more encyclopedic manner. As someone unfamiliar with the subject I did not find the links to Christian views on contraception or proselytizing to present a POV slanted toward the Bible or Christianity but rather an attempt, as most links are, to allow the reader to gain additional understanding of the reference if they should be unfamiliar with the subject. I think that both sides should adhere to the ideal that the edits being made are being done in good faith and without a hidden agenda. It seems to me that a request to honor another editor’s work by preserving as much of it as possible in revisions is not unreasonable. Rather than editing by using a blanket reversion instead consider adding any new material to the latest version of the article and only deleting or changing the material that you find objectionable. I urge both disputing parties to put aside their differences and come together in an attempt to provide an article that is encyclopedic in scope, verifiably referenced in compliance with the guidelines for biographies of living persons, and neutral in tone. I would be willing to act as an unoffical mediator if acceptable to both parties.--Ulysses411 03:35, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I would be glad to allow you to mediate any ensuing discussion. Thank you for offering your help!  As I said earlier, I encourage Lilkunta and everyone else to add any material that they feel is missing, as long as that material meets WP policy and style guidelines.  Again, thanks.  Joie de Vivre 20:58, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Revert
I reverted, per:
 * WP:BLP: Do not include unsourced biographical info. Bloggingbaby.com fails WP:A and thus the statement claiming there being a new pregnancy is unsourced.  Need a verifiable source to include this.
 * WP:Manual of style: Capitalize only first word of headers. Refs go outside punctuation. Very tedious edits would take too long to change back by hand for a second time.
 * WP:NPOV: Bio phrasing fails. "...the number of children was for God to control--not them."  "she committed her life to God": Are we to assume that everyone believes in God? Referring to unsuspecting bystanders as "potential church members" is completely POV.  Should we refer to random people as "potential expatriats" or "potential ballerinas" or "potential Nobel laureates" based on what they might do?  Would it be neutral if I referred to you as a "potential Goddess-worshipping lesbian"? Joie de Vivre 23:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

(removed personally-directed comment by Lilkunta to my Talk page) Joie de Vivre 23:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

''(comment restored by lilkunta) Pls STOP censoring me. Thx. Lilkunta 19:44, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

 * It's not censorship to move comments around if the editors who write those comments cannot follow simple rules, like "don't attack others" and "don't put your comments inside other people's comments, put them after their comments." Yes, I moved a personally-directed comment made by you, about me, to my talk page.  Yes, I moved your editorial comments that you sprinkled within the paragraphs I wrote. The fact that you use green font does not license you to make editorial comments within other people's written thoughts.  I moved the sentences you wrote so that they were situated after my comments.  There was nothing sinister about the manner in which I did this.  There is no hidden meaning in it.  I tried to preserve your meaning as much as possible, I placed markers indicating the comment's prior (erroneous) and new (correct) locations.  I did this not to censor you, but to preserve the readability of the page.  I am sorry if it annoyed you.  I would not have had to do it at all if you would place your comments correctly, after the comments of others, in the first place.

 * To others who may be reading: the reason I am not putting this paragraph on Lilkunta's talk page is that they have a habit of copying conversations, in their entirety, and duplicating them in other places, so that there are two identical conversations going on at once. I did not want that to happen again so I placed this here.  I apologize to the other editors for this discussion veering away from the article.  Joie de Vivre 22:17, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Reverted changes to Talk page
I reverted Lilkunta's recent changes, per Talk page guidelines (quoting):
 * "Answer a post underneath it: Then the next post will go underneath yours and so on. This makes it easy to see the chronological order of posts. The one at the bottom is the latest. (''Do not intersperse your comments within the comments of others.)
 * "Keep headings neutral: A heading should indicate what the topic is, but not communicate a specific view about it."
 * "Don't praise in headings: You may wish to commend a particular edit, but this could be seen in a different light by someone who disagrees with the edit!
 * "Don't be critical in headings: This includes being critical about details of the article. Those details were written by individual editors, who may experience the heading as an attack on them.
 * "Never address other users in a heading: A heading should invite all editors to respond to the subject addressed.

All editors should be aware of (and follow) these guidelines. Joie de Vivre 17:57, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Reverted changes to Talk (2nd time)
I reverted Lilkunta's changes, as above, because they reinstated several things which are either strongly discouraged or outright prohibited. See this diff for the explanation of my changes. Joie de Vivre 15:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I would like to ask Lilkunta to observe Talk page guidelines and stop placing their editorial comments inside my comments. I am not trying to "censor" them by moving the comments, I am trying to maintain the readability of the page.  I would not edit their comments at all if they would just place their comments at the bottom, underneath all of the previously-posted comments in the section.  I also want to ask Lilkunta to stop removing the indentation of the paragraphs.  Indentation is used to make it easier to differentiate between the comments of different editors.  Joie de Vivre 17:03, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Reverted changes to Talk (3rd time)
See above. Joie de Vivre 22:39, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I recommend ceasing to deal directly with the disruptive user—no more reverts of reverts, etc. Instead, give your attention to structured processes which are conducted with civility and have administrative oversight.   — Athænara   ✉  23:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I am not a disruptive user. Once again ppl r here labelling me but say nothing to Joie. This is very bias of you.Lilkunta 23:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC).

Time for a break
I would like to recommend that both of you take a break from editing the Jim Bob Duggar page and its associated talk page for 5 days as a cooling off period. Both of you seem emotionally invested in the article at the moment and I think a break will help calm things down. While this break is going on I will post a request for review both with the Mediation Cabal members as well as to members of the Wikipedia Biography group. Hopefully these impartial editors will be able to offer insights into the article and perhaps another editor will make changes to the article during the break that will satisfy both of you. If during this break you feel the need to address your concerns further please post them on the case page. So for clarity since people from different time zones are involved please refrain from further edits, reversions and comments until Sunday, April 8th.--Ulysses411 04:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree. Joie de Vivre 17:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Amendment: I did not attempt to delete what they said but instead added a note about how I did not in fact make that comment here. Joie de Vivre 14:50, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Rewrite
I just want to state my support for User:Athaenara's recent rewrite of the article which occurred in the interim period. Thank you, Ulysses411, for mediating between myself and User:Lilkunta. As far as I am concerned, this issue is resolved. Joie de Vivre 22:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm glad I could be of assistance. I will go ahead and close the case today.  Should new issues arise feel free to contact the Mediation Cabal again.--Ulysses411 02:00, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you, I will. Joie de Vivre 16:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Al-Karak

Untitled
http://karak.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.28.171.83 (talk) 10:17, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of Information?
There is a difference between the city and area of Karak and the castle of the same name. This article seems to mix the two. Perhaps two seperate articles or an article clean-up would avert any confusion?

 * Those in Jordan pronounce and spell the name with two a's, as in Karak.
 * Jordanian sources claim that the castle was built in AD 1136 by Payem, the Crusader lord of Karak and Shoubak.

Could someone verify these irregularities? - Cybjorg 13:41, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Are the city and castle distinct enough to warrant two separate articles? "Payem" is the same as "Paganus" (or Pagan, or Payen), but I'll check on the date...I assume no one really knows exactly when it was built, aside from "sometime during Fulk's reign." Adam Bishop 15:48, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Which is why I kept the article combined and just separated the information within the article. - Cybjorg 16:04, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Incorrect Spelling
In Jordan the English Spelling is Karak with two a's. In reference to the modern city and governate, it should be spelled this way on wikipedia.

Roc

 * This is an issue, which is why I added the alternative spelling (with two a's) to the article and the disambiguation page. The article already existed and I didn't feel like moving the article in order to change the title.  The spelling that you suggest, however, makes the most sense, as the Arabic language doesn't contain an "e" vowel, and neither should any transliterated word from Arabic. - Cybjorg 05:17, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Yea I have actually spent extended amounts of time in Karak myself and I know its written "Karak" on all the English signs there. Forgive me, I'm rather inexpirienced with wikipedia or I'd change the title myself.

Roc

Well, it's not really a pure transliteration from Arabic, since "Kerak" is what the (French) crusaders called it and that's where we get it from (although they usually pronounced it as "crac", actually). I'm not sure what to do here since Karak is a disambiguation page, but I think it is usually spelled "Kerak" in English literature, at least literature about the crusades. Can the district in Jordan and the castle be separated into different articles? Adam Bishop 03:08, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't see anything wrong with that. Please take my word that it is spelled "Karak" on a vast majority of the signs in Jordan. Roc

 * Personally, that's why I added the alternative spelling and created a disambiguation page. If one searches for "Karak" or "Kerak", they will arrive here. - Cybjorg 05:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks -Roc

 * Doesn't it need a hyphen, al-Karak? Adam Bishop 03:07, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Map
Does someone have a map showing where this is? The Jade Knight 20:45, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

The correct spelling for both the city and the castle
I am coming originally from the KARAK city in the southern part of Jordan.

The offecial name of the city is "Al Karak" or "Al-Karak". In Arabic the phrase "Al" is an article (similar to 'The' in English, or 'Der, Die, Das' in German), thereofor it is quit common to refer to the city with/without the article "Al".

You defenitly need to know that the name of the modern city is always written with two a's.

The castle name is "Kerak Castle", or with the article "Al-Kerak Cast", notice the 'e'.

Paul the Silentiary

Paul the Silentiary, also known as Paulus Silentiarius (Παῦλος ὁ Σιλεντιάριος, died AD 575–580), was a Greek Byzantine poet and courtier to the emperor Justinian at Constantinople.

Life
What little we know of Paul's life comes largely from the contemporary historian and poet Agathias, a friend and admirer, who describes him as coming from a rich and illustrious family, with a father, Cyrus, and a grandfather, Florus, who both probably held public office.

Paul also entered public life and became a silentiary – one of a group of 30 court officials of privileged backgrounds organised under three officers (decurions) whose first duty was maintaining order and silence in the Great Palace of Constantinople. They also fulfilled important commissions, especially in church matters, and by the sixth century their order had attained the social rank of illustris, the highest in the late empire. Paul himself may have risen to become their chief (primicerius). He died some time between 575 and 580.

Works
Agathias considered Paul's greatest work to be his long verse ecphrasis of Justinian's Cathedral of the Holy Wisdom (Hagia Sophia), composed after the reconstruction of the dome in 562 or 563. Paul sees the church as a "meadow" of many-coloured kinds of marble, and helps us to imagine the church before its many subsequent remodellings. The poem was probably commissioned by Justinian himself, with verses to be recited by Paul himself during the rededication ceremony. The panegyric consists of 1029 verses in Greek, starting with 134 lines of iambic trimeter, with the remainder in dactylic hexameter.

Of his other poems, some eighty epigrams in the classical tradition have been preserved in the Greek Anthology. Forty of these are love poems. Two are replies to poems by Agathias. In another Paul laments the death of Damocharis of Cos, Agathias's favourite pupil. J. A. Symonds calls these verses "the last autumnal blossoms on the tree of Greek beauty." Although his subject matter is varied, much is explicitly erotic and uses Pagan imagery, as in the following example:

I press her breasts, our mouths are joined, and I feed in unrestrained fury round her silver neck, but not yet is my conquest complete; I still toil wooing a maiden who refuses me her bed. Half of herself she has given to Aphrodite and half to Pallas, and I waste away between the two.

Ruth Simmons

Ruth Simmons (born Ruth Jean Stubblefield, July 3, 1945) is an American professor and academic administrator. Simmons served as the eighth president of Prairie View A&M University, a HBCU, from 2017 until 2023. From 2001 to 2012, she served as the 18th president of Brown University, where she was the first African-American president of an Ivy League institution. While there, Simmons was named best college president by Time magazine. Before Brown University, she headed Smith College, one of the Seven Sisters and the largest women's college in the United States, beginning in 1995. There, during her presidency, the first accredited program in engineering was started at an all-women's college.

A professor of literature in the Romance languages, in 2017, Simmons was called out of retirement to head Prairie View in her home state of Texas, where she increased scholarships and funding. She stepped down as president there in 2023. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society (1997), an honorary fellow of Selwyn College, Cambridge, and a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor.

In February 2023, Simmons announced plans to advise Harvard University regarding relationships with historically black universities (HBCUs). As of 2023, Simmons is also a President's Distinguished Fellow at Rice University.

Early life and education
Simmons was born in Grapeland, Texas, the last of 12 children of Fanny (née Campbell) and Isaac Stubblefield. Her father was a sharecropper until the family moved to Houston during her school years. Her paternal grandfather descends partly from the Benza and Kota people, enslaved people from Gabon, while her maternal line is traced back to the indigenous peoples of America.

While in school, one of her teachers, Vernell Lillie, talked to her about attending college, something she had never considered before. She earned her bachelor's degree, on scholarship, from Dillard University in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1967. She earned her master's and a doctorate in Romance literature from Harvard University in 1970 and 1973, respectively.

Early academic positions
Simmons was an assistant professor of French at the University of New Orleans (UNO) from 1973 to 1976 and Assistant Dean of the UNO's College of Liberal Arts from 1975 to 1976. She moved to California State University, Northridge in 1977, as administrative coordinator of its NEH Liberal Studies Project. From 1978 to 1979, she was acting director of CSU-Northridge's International Programs and visiting associate professor of Pan-African Studies.

Simmons moved to the University of Southern California in 1979 as assistant dean of graduate studies and later as associate dean of graduate studies. In 1983, she moved to Princeton University and served as assistant dean of faculty and then associate dean of faculty from 1986 to 1990. Simmons served as provost at Spelman College from 1990 to 1991 and returned to Princeton as its vice provost from 1992 to 1995.

Smith College presidency
In 1995, Simmons was selected as president of Smith College, which she led until 2001. As president of Smith College, Simmons started the first engineering program at a U.S. woman's college.

Brown University presidency
In November 2000, Simmons became the first African-American woman to head an Ivy League school, assuming the office in October 2001, succeeding Gordon Gee. She also held appointments as a professor in the Departments of Comparative Literature and Africana Studies. In 2002, Ms. Magazine named her a Woman of the Year; in 2001, Time named her as America's best college president.

At Brown, she completed a $1.4 billion initiative – the largest in Brown's history – known as Boldly Brown: The Campaign for Academic Enrichment to enhance Brown's academic programs. In 2004, former Brown student Sidney E. Frank made the largest aggregate monetary contribution to Brown in its history in the amount of $120 million. The Frank gifts were principally devoted to scholarship assistance to Brown students and Brown's programs in the sciences.

In 2007, philanthropist Warren Alpert made a similar contribution to strengthen the programs of The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in the amount of $100 million. As reported in a May 22, 2009 press release, Brown Chancellor Thomas J. Tisch announced the early attainment of the $1.4 billion fundraising campaign and the continued pursuit of specific subsidiary goals in support of endowments for student scholarships of the Brown faculty and internationalization programs through the originally planned campaign to be continued through December 31, 2010.

In 2006, during an orientation meeting with parents, Simmons denied interest in the presidency of Harvard University, headed at the time by interim president Derek Bok. Nevertheless, a 2007 New York Times article, featuring a photograph of Simmons, reported that the Harvard Corporation, responsible for selecting the university's replacement for former president Lawrence Summers, had been given a list of "potential candidates" that included her name.

In August 2007, Simmons was invited to deliver the 60th Annual Reading of the historic 1790 George Washington Letter to Touro Synagogue at the Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island, in response to Moses Seixas on the subject of religious pluralism. According to a March 2009 poll by The Brown Daily Herald, Simmons had more than an 80% approval rating among Brown undergraduates.

In September 2011, Simmons announced that she would step down from her position as Brown President at the end of the 2011–12 academic year, initially saying she would remain at Brown as a professor of comparative literature and Africana studies. She was succeeded as the Brown President on June 30, 2012, by Christina Paxson.

Goldman Sachs role and compensation
Simmons earned annual compensations of more than $300,000 from Goldman Sachs (on top of her annual salary from Brown of more than $500,000), while serving on the Goldman board of directors during the late-2000s financial crisis; in addition, she left the Goldman board (which she had joined in 2000) in 2009 with more than $4.3 million in Goldman stock. During her term on Goldman's board, she also served on the compensation committee of Goldman's ten-person board, which decided how large Goldman executives' post-crash bonuses would be: these bonuses included a $68 million bonus for the company's chairman and CEO, Lloyd C. Blankfein, in 2007, and a $9 million bonus in 2009, after Goldman received money in the federal TARP bailout. The revelations of Simmons's role received intense criticism from both alumni and students with a then-sophomore stating that Simmons's actions "brought shame on the university." Simmons was cited in the 2010 film Inside Job, as an example of the conflicts of interest between university economics departments and deregulation of financial institutions.

Transnational initiatives at Brown
In 2003, Simmons established the University Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice. In 2006, the Report of the Brown University Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice was published, examining the university's complex history with the transatlantic slave trade. On February 16, 2007, at an event celebrating the 200th anniversary of the passage of the Slave Trade Act of 1807 and the involvement of Cambridge University alumni William Wilberforce, Thomas Clarkson and William Pitt the Younger, Simmons delivered a lecture at St. John's College, Cambridge, entitled Hidden in Plain Sight: Slavery and Justice in Rhode Island. Also in February 2007, Brown University published its official Response to the Report of the Steering Committee on Slavery and Justice following the completion of the historic inquiry undertaken by the committee appointed by Simmons.

In October 2007, Simmons appointed David W. Kennedy, the former Manley O. Hudson Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, as vice president for international affairs.

As an additional element of Simmons' leadership of Brown's international efforts, Brown and Banco Santander of Spain inaugurated an annual series of International Advanced Research Institutes to convene younger scholars from emerging and developing countries at Brown in a signing ceremony on November 13, 2008, at the John Hay Library between Brown provost David Kertzer and Emilio Botin, chairman of Banco Santander. As noted by Simmons: "To be at the forefront of research today means being in conversation with global peers."

In March 2010, Simmons traveled to India as part of a major program called the Year of India, dedicated to improving the understanding of Indian history, politics, education, and culture among Brown students and faculty.

On September 15, 2011, Simmons announced that she would step down from the Brown presidency at the end of the academic year, June 30, 2012.

Prairie View A&M University presidency
After five years of retirement, Simmons was invited to take on the presidency of Prairie View A&M University, an HBCU in Texas. Following several meetings with TAMUS Chancellor John Sharp and the Board of Regents, on June 19, 2017, she agreed to step in as the interim president of Prairie View, assuming the office on July 1, 2017. On December 4, 2017, she was officially named the eighth president of Prairie View A&M University. She is the first woman to serve as president of Prairie View A&M.

At Prairie View A&M, Simmons focused her efforts on improving the financial stability of the university, particularly on fundraising tens of millions dollars for the Panther Success Grants. Her vision for the university: "I plan to ensure that Prairie View A&M University sustains excellence in teaching, research and service for another 140-plus years. We will promote throughout the country a narrative of a Prairie View that is strong, and we will raise funds in a new and vital way so that the University will have the flexibility it needs to advance and make more visible its reach." On March 11, 2022, Simmons announced that she would step down as president when the university named her successor.

In 2022, Prairie View A&M announced that scholarships had increased and donations to the university had grown by 40% during Simmons’ presidency.

Civic activities and honors

British Rail Class 22

The British Rail Class 22 or "Baby Warship" was a class of diesel-hydraulic locomotives designed for the Western Region of British Railways and built by the North British Locomotive Company. They were very similar in appearance to the Class 21 diesel-electrics, although shorter in length by almost five feet. The nickname Baby Warship related to the similarity in appearance (and internal equipment) to the British Rail Class D20/2 or Class 41 Warship Class. The Class 22s were numbered D6300-D6357.

Introduction
D6300 was introduced to traffic in 1959 and deliveries continued until 1962. The Class 22s were allocated to Bristol Bath Road, Laira Plymouth, Newton Abbot and Old Oak Common. The majority of the class always operated in the West of England, on a range of local passenger and freight work, with smaller numbers of the later units operating on local work in the Bristol area and around London Paddington (notably moving empty carriages between the main station and Old Oak Common yard).

Availability
Initially the locomotives had some problems with engine and transmission faults, but could be returned to North British Locomotive Works (NBL) for repair under the contractual agreement. By 1961, reliability had improved, but with the more powerful locomotives of Classes 35, 42, and 43 now being available, the locomotives were displaced onto more secondary duties, including work on the former Southern Region lines west of Exeter. By the mid 1960s, the locos had settled down to give reliable service, with availability over 85%.

Decline
NBL went bankrupt in 1962 and, by the late 1960s, withdrawn locomotives were being used to provide spares. Attrition was inevitable and the withdrawals, which had commenced in 1967, finished with the withdrawal of 6333, 6336, 6338 and 6339 on 1 January 1972. Ex-London Midland Region Class 25 diesel-electrics were drafted in as replacements.

Livery
The NBL type 2s were introduced in all-over green livery with a light grey skirt band, mid-grey roof, red buffer beams and black underframe. Numbers appeared below all four cab windows and the BR 'lion and wheel' emblem was placed high on the bodyside as centrally as possible. Later a small yellow warning was added. From 1967 some locos were repainted in the new corporate rail blue livery. The first four repaints, D6300, D6303, D6314 and D6327 had small yellow warning panels which they retained until withdrawal, later blue repaints had full yellow ends. Only about half the class were repainted into blue. The BR logo was placed immediately below each cab window, with the loco number below this; on some locos this was reversed.

Models
Dapol released a 00 gauge model of the class 22 in late 2011.

Richard Revesz

Richard L. Revesz (born May 9, 1958) is an American lawyer and academic. He is the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. During his government employment, he is on leave as the AnBryce Professor of Law at the New York University School of Law. He served as dean of the New York University School of Law from 2002 to 2013, and as the director of the American Law Institute from 2014 to 2023.

Early life and education
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Richard Revesz graduated summa cum laude with a B.S.E. in civil engineering from Princeton University in 1979, completing a senior thesis titled "Energy or Environment? The Tradeoff between Automobile Emissions and Fuel Economy." He then received an M.S. in civil engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He continued his studies at Yale Law School, where he was editor-in-chief of Yale Law Journal and received a J.D. in 1983. Upon graduation, he clerked first for chief judge Wilfred Feinberg of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and then for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, where he met his wife, Vicki Been, who was also clerking at the Supreme Court, for Justice Harry Blackmun.

Early career
Revesz began his academic career in 1985, joining the faculty of NYU Law School as an assistant professor. By 1990, he was a full professor of law, teaching environmental and administrative law. In 2001, he was named Lawrence King professor of law and, a year later, he succeeded John Sexton as dean. He stepped down as dean in 2013. Revesz also has been a visiting professor at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Harvard Law School, Yale Law School, and the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland.

NYU School of Law Dean
During Revesz's tenure as dean of NYU Law School, NYU raised over $500 million and attracted 46 new faculty members, including fellow Argentine-American academic Samuel Issacharoff. While dean, Revesz presided over various free-speech controversies: he criticized but did not discipline a student who asked Justice Antonin Scalia about his sex life, and defended Singaporean jurist Thio Li-ann's right to express controversial views about criminalizing consensual sexual acts between men.

American Law Institute Director
In 2014, Revesz was appointed as the director of the American Law Institute. He oversees the institute's publication of Restatements of the Law, Principles of the Law, model acts, and other proposals for law reform.

Institute for Policy Integrity Director
In 2008, Revesz and Michael Livermore co-founded the Institute for Policy Integrity, a NYU Law-affiliated think tank and advocacy organization dedicated to improving the quality of governmental decision-making. Revesz directs the institute, which contributes original research in economics, administrative law, and public policy, and advocates for reform before courts, legislatures, and executive agencies. The institute’s work focuses primarily on energy and climate issues, consumer protection, and public health.

Scholarship
Revesz has published numerous books and articles in major law reviews and journals, focusing on federalism and environmental regulation, the design of liability rules for environmental protection, and the role of cost-benefit analysis in shaping administrative and environmental regulation. His most recent book, Reviving Rationality: Saving Cost-Benefit Analysis for the Sake of the Environment and Our Health, which he co-wrote with Livermore, argues that the Trump administration destabilized the bipartisan consensus that federal agencies must base their decisions on evidence, expertise, and analysis, and explores how future administrations can restore cost-benefit analysis.

Revesz has served as a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a member of the Environmental Economics Advisory Committee of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science Advisory Board, among other organizations. In 1994 and 2007, he received the American Bar Association award for best article or book on administrative law and regulatory practice.

Biden administration
On September 2, 2022, President Joe Biden nominated Revesz to be administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, a regulatory division within the Office of Management and Budget. He was confirmed by voice vote on December 21, 2022.

Personal life
Revesz lives with his wife, Vicki Been, and their two children in New York City.

Bore Lee

Boris Ivković (born c. 1964), better known by his stage name Bore Lee, is a Croatian martial arts enthusiast, amateur filmmaker and actor from Sinj.

A textile technician by trade and a great fan of Bruce Lee, he studied martial arts from an early age. In 1994 he began displaying his skills on short low budget martial arts films that were recorded on a VHS camera. Gradually, those films became underground  sensations in his native town of Sinj and the shooting of these films on city streets became a popular spectacle.

Bore Lee's fame reached Zagreb upon the release of U Kandžama Velegrada ("In the Claws of the Big Z") in 2004, a low budget martial arts parody that later turned out to be the most popular trash film in Croatian cinema, directed by filmmakers Mario Kovač, Krešimir Pauk, Ivan Ramljak and Andy Kuljiš.

In 2005, once again with the same 4 filmmakers and this time with a slightly better low budget, Bore Lee appeared in his 8th film titled "Čuvaj se Sinjske Ruke!" ("Deadly Sinjs!").

Filmography

 * U kandžama orla (In the Claws of the Eagle) (1993)
 * Smrtonosna igra (Lethal Game) (1999)
 * Rušilački udarci (2000)
 * Otrovne ruke (2001)
 * Vrijeme velikog obračuna (2002)
 * Jači od bande (Stronger than the Gang) (2003)

Disaccharidase

Disaccharidases are glycoside hydrolases, enzymes that break down certain types of sugars called disaccharides into simpler sugars called monosaccharides. In the human body, disaccharidases are made mostly in an area of the small intestine's wall called the brush border, making them members of the group of "brush border enzymes".

A genetic defect in one of these enzymes will cause a disaccharide intolerance, such as lactose intolerance or sucrose intolerance.

Examples of disaccharidases

 * Lactase (breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose)
 * Maltase (breaks down maltose into 2 glucoses)
 * Sucrase (breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose)
 * Trehalase (breaks down trehalose into 2 glucoses)

For a thorough scientific overview of small-intestinal disaccharidases, one can consult chapter 75 of OMMBID. For more online resources and references, see inborn error of metabolism.

M.O.D.

M.O.D. (abbreviation for Method of Destruction) is an American crossover thrash band from New York City, fronted by Stormtroopers of Death vocalist Billy Milano. The band has been around for 38 years (minus one hiatus from 1997 to 2001), and released eight studio albums. With M.O.D., Milano sought to continue on the musical path of the bands Anthrax, Stormtroopers of Death (S.O.D.) and Nuclear Assault, mixing shades of hardcore punk with thrash metal and often humorous and politically incorrect lyrics.

First four albums (1986–1993)
U.S.A. for M.O.D., the band's debut album, was released in 1987 and produced by S.O.D. bandmate and Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian. The first track, "Aren't You Hungry?", a reworking of an unrecorded S.O.D. song, is notable for the lyric "fuck those niggers' charity", referring to the then-common famine relief activism such as "We Are the World". Later the band apologized.

M.O.D.'s second effort, Surfin' M.O.D. (1988), was an anomaly, featuring little thrash metal, focusing more on humorous cover songs and a beach party atmosphere. The band would return to their roots on Gross Misconduct (1989), as well as further expand their sound on Rhythm of Fear (1992). It was around this time that Milano performed a reunion show with S.O.D. at The Ritz in New York City.

Aside from playing in support of bands like Anthrax, Megadeth, Exodus, Overkill, Testament, Suicidal Tendencies, Pantera, Lȧȧz Rockit and Pro-Pain, and their music videos getting airplay by Headbangers Ball on MTV, M.O.D. was never able to earn a mainstream audience and had temporarily disbanded between the releases of Gross Misconduct and Rhythm of Fear. This was the first of many break-ups or hiatuses to come.

Devolution, Dictated Aggression, and hiatus (1994–1999)
The following releases, Devolution and Dictated Aggression, suffered from poor distribution and going out of print, despite Milano's heavier style and more serious lyrics. The albums were eventually reissued on Blackout Records in 2004.

Following M.O.D.'s split in 1997, Milano reformed S.O.D., who released a subsequent album, Bigger than the Devil, in 1999.

Reunions (2001–present)
In 2001, Milano reformed M.O.D. with a new lineup, and two years later, released The Rebel You Love to Hate, somewhat of a return to Milano's humorous past with jabs at white suburban rap fans and the war on terrorism. M.O.D. relocated to Austin, Texas, and released the album Red, White & Screwed in October 2007 through Index Entertainment, and launched a supporting tour in summer 2008. The band played its final touring show in the United States on September 13, 2008, however the band still performs periodically (mostly in Austin, Texas, where Milano currently resides).

In May 2013, Milano announced a 25th Anniversary Tour dubbed "The Mexicans on Duty Tour" featuring the band's new lineup.

As early as 2014, M.O.D. began working on their eighth studio album, titled Busted, Broke & American, and later that year, they offered a free download of their first song in seven years "Hermano". In May 2015, the group disbanded due to Billy Milano wanting to focus on his private life. All tours and album plans were cancelled as a result. A month later, however, Milano announced that M.O.D. was still together and planning to finish work on Busted, Broke & American, followed by a tour in support of it. On January 5, 2017, Milano announced that the recording of Busted, Broke & American was finished, and it would be M.O.D.'s final album. The album was released on July 7, 2017, and is M.O.D.'s first release on Megaforce Records since the 1995 compilation album Loved by Thousands, Hated by Millions. The album has been referred to as the "Chinese Democracy of crossover thrash", due to its various delays.

When asked in a March 2018 interview if Busted, Broke & American was their final album, or if there would be a follow-up album, then-bassist Jason French said, "I believe there will be another album. In talking to Billy, he has some things in the works he wants to accomplish and I want to be part of those things as well. If things work out the way we would like them to, I think people are going to be blown away about what's in store for the future."

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.
