Boardwalk (nightclub)

The Boardwalk was a bar/nightclub based on the corner of Snig Hill and Bank Street, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. The venue played host to many up-and-coming home-grown bands, as well as smaller touring bands and cover acts. In November 2010, the landlord of the venue voluntarily placed the owning company into administration and closed the site indefinitely. Despite an official statement in December of the same year claiming three potential parties to be interested in operating the venue, this did not materialise and the Boardwalk remained closed.

The Boardwalk originally opened as a jazz club in the 1930s. It had held an important place in Sheffield's music scene since the 1960s, when it was known as the Black Swan (and later by its local nickname, the Mucky Duck). It played host to a number of high-profile bands including AC/DC and Genesis, with the Clash playing their first gig at the venue on a bill that also included Sex Pistols and Buzzcocks.

In its later years, the music venue had helped facilitate the rise of local bands such as Arctic Monkeys, Tomato Plant, Bromheads Jacket, Milburn, Bring Me the Horizon, and Little Man Tate, with the former's first demo being dubbed Beneath the Boardwalk by those who shared it online.

After closure in November 2010, the Boardwalk has briefly reopened on several occasions under new ownership. The venue operated as the Fuel gay club, which relocated here from the site now occupied by Code, between 2012 and 2015; and as the Bassbox drum and bass club until July 2019. Part of the former cellar is still in operation as the Meltdown esports bar as of 2024.

Talk:Ordnance Survey Ireland

NPOV
I've removed the NPOV dispute tag; User:Terra Green that added didn't start a discussion on this talk page. Noted Reads as a eulogy of the fine workmanship of the British Army, and hey those poor natives ought to be grateful for the jobs... in the editing comment; well I don't think it really does read like that at all, that's a bit of an overreaction! The project presumably did create employment and the use of the word 'native' is just to indicate to whom the employment was provided, e.g. native Irish rather than imported workers (e.g. such as the above mentioned soldiers - although many of them may have also been Irish, I don't know enough about the period/project.) I've slightly rephrased adding the word 'also' provided employment and removed 'native', hope this makes it more acceptable. -- Blorg 16:39, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I've toned things down a bit more -- "local employment" will do, in my opinion. Some of my reaction was also to the rather subjective sounding eulogy of the maps themselves, so you'll see I've addressed this too. I dare say they are very good maps, but we need to base this either on some facts or at least on a quotation that can be attributed. Possibly I overreacted to the word "native", but it bordered on the sort of usage where the term can have negative connotations. Terra Green 17:26, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi, the person that originated this dispute overreacted a little, I think. The Irish Ordnance Survey scheme undoubtedly created many work opportunities for local people all over Ireland. The use of the word "native" has no tendentious purpose. If anything, it could reinforce a belief that this was a 'foreign operation imposed on the people of Ireland'. FWIW, I myself am one of these people.

 * As to the question of the excellence of the maps produced, we must remember the period in question, i.e. not that far off 200 years ago. A good knowledge of the scheme makes you aware of the innovations in map-making it produced. Should there be any doubt as to the quality and accuracy of these maps, let anyone visit a half-decent library in Ireland, or the British Museum or Library, and they can judge for themselves. These were at a scale of 6" to a mile, a scale that produces a high degree of detail.

 * To substantiate the claim that this were pioneering maps, please see the following reference (whose source, from House of Commons papers, could be introduced into the main article if thought desirable).

 * A careful independent examination of a substantial number of OS maps of Ireland in 1837, an area covering more than 4,000 miles, by John MacNeill, a well-known civil engineer, showed not a single error or inaccuracy. "Report on the North and North-Western Lines of Railway, proposed by the Commissioners.." in Second report of the commissioners appointed to consider and recommend a general system of railways for Ireland, HC 1837-38, (145), xxxv, 709.

 * Many of the engineering developments that came to Ireland in subsequent years, like the railways, could scarcely have been possible without the Ordnance Survey maps.bigpad

I've added a logo to the article in accordance with WP:FAIR. I have another pic of a selection of Discovery series maps as well as a couple of older publications of OSI. I can add this if anyone thinks it might improve the article. --Bucklesman (talk) 17:48, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You would need to be careful of copyright restrictions. The logo is valid under 'Fair use' but anything more could be a step too far. Judging by recent deletions, it seems already to be a sore point. --Red King (talk) 17:26, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Sherry Smith

Sherrod Malone (Sherry) Smith (February 18, 1891 – September 12, 1949) was a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball. From 1911 until 1927, he pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1911–12), Brooklyn Robins (1915–17, 1919–1922) and Cleveland Indians (1922–1927). Smith batted right-handed and threw left-handed. He was born in Monticello, Georgia.

Smith was the hard-luck loser of one of the longest World Series games ever played. He pitched all the way into the 14th inning for Brooklyn, dueling with Boston's starting pitcher, Babe Ruth, in Game 2 of the 1916 World Series until the Red Sox won it 2–1. It would be his only appearance in that Series.

He made two strong starts in the 1920 World Series. Smith was the winning pitcher of Game 3 against Cleveland, throwing a three-hitter in a 2–1 victory. But despite another impressive effort in Game 6, he lost a 1–0 duel with Duster Mails, and Brooklyn ended up losing that Series in seven games.

Placed on waivers after the 1922 season, Smith was claimed by Cleveland and pitched there for several seasons. He led all American League pitchers in 1925 in complete games with 22, also leading the league that season in walks and hits allowed.

In a 14-season career, Smith posted a 114–118 record with 428 strikeouts and a 3.32 ERA in 2,052.2 innings pitched.

Smith was a good hitting pitcher in his major league career. He posted a .233 batting average (165-for-709) with 59 runs, 6 home runs and 60 RBI. He was used as a pinch-hitter five times in his career.

Smith died in Reidsville, Georgia, at age 58.

Template talk:Infobox U.S. state symbols

Name Change
The more correct name of this template would be Template: US state insignia. We could replace the template there with the template here, as well as update it to include the insignia listed in the article Lists of U.S. state insignia. 66.229.182.113 09:58, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Neckwear?
Is this for real? Credo From Start   talk  17:58, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Never mind. It is. Arizona. (Kind of silly though!)  Credo From Start    talk  18:00, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Multiple route markers
The "Route Marker" parameter shows the in-article text "Route Marker(s)", implying that multiple ones can be shown for states that use them. However, there seems not to be a parameter for a second marker, and I don't see anything in the Help pages showing how to render multiple images in a single parameter, if in fact this is possible. Mapsax (talk) 14:21, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Size of Route Marker in U.S. state infoboxes
I was just looking at the article on West Virginia, and I was surprised when I saw the example route marker (the number "20" in a black outline) in the infobox. I thought it was somewhat larger than it needed to be. I'd like to suggest a change in the template so that the route marker in state infoboxes ends up slightly smaller than the one I saw. Corinne (talk) 16:57, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
 * done. Frietjes (talk) 15:13, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Some entries are redundant to Infobox U.S. state
Some of the entries in this infobox are redundant to Template:Infobox U.S. state when both are used in the main state articles, usually one after the other. These are the nickname, motto, and state song/anthem parameters. Is there any particular reason for this duplication? It seems redundant and duplicative. Perhaps a better question would be whether or not this infobox is intended to be used on the main state pages along with the main infobox, of if it is designed for other pages specifically on state symbols, or both? If it's only for the main state pages, perhaps this box's functions should be merged into the US state infobox. - BilCat (talk) 05:24, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
 * To be honest, what you said makes sense, and as a result, I removed all of the duplicate parameters that appeared in "Infobox U.S. state symbols". Keivan.f  Talk 16:52, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Thanks, Keivan. I'd still like to get a clarification on the intent of this infobox from the original editors, as my other questions remain. It's possible the infobox was intended to be used much further down in a state article, where the duplication would be less obvious, rather than immediately after the state infobox. Given how the boxes are used together, merging the functions into the main box may still be a viable option. - BilCat (talk) 17:46, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Collapsed by default
This template was changed last week from being collapsed by default to being open by default with the edit summary that "MOS:SCROLL: Collapsible templates should not conceal article content by default upon page loading." I first off agree with above that the information in this template is redundant when all articles the template is on already have whole sections on the topic, but MOS:SCROLL further says that "collapsed or auto-collapsing cells or sections may be used with tables if it simply repeats information covered in the main text." So I think we can have this template collapsed by default because it just repeats information, correct?-- Patrick, o Ѻ ∞ 16:22, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Two New Parameters (Request)
Could Someone with the permission and know-how please add "Animal" and "Fruit Tree" as individual unique parameters within the "Animate" insignia section (and I'd say it makes most sense for "Animal to be at the top of the section there), reasoning for the addition of this can be found at following linked talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Missouri#Status_Of_Mule's_Classification_Within_Being_A_State_Insignia ; sig: Aramantha 23:45, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Proposed merge
I'll be upfront, I do not like this infobox template, and I don't think its necessary. I think it presents trivial information that has been rejected from inclusion Template:Infobox U.S. state, and which is already better presented in sections on the state articles plus list articles like List of U.S. state birds or List of Arizona state symbols. As a first, minimal step, I'm proposing that it should be merged with Template:Infobox region symbols, as suggested over two years ago. This template has 51 article-space transclusions, the other has 1195.

The fields that Template:Infobox U.S. state symbols has that Template:Infobox region symbols is missing are Amphibian, Cactus, Cat, Crustacean, Dog, Domestic animal, Horse, Marsupial, Mushroom, Pet, Reptile, Dinosaur, Firearm, Poem, Shell, Ship, Slogan, Soil, and Tartan. The first 12 of those I envision states using their "animal" or "plant" fields with a bulleted list in a Template:Plainlist wrapper and parentheses if necessary. The other seven I feel could be added to Template:Infobox region symbols without too much fuss. I think we can also take the opportunity to leave behind the U.S. state quarters. They were interesting in the early aughts, but I don't think they will continue to be symbols of the states in decades to come, the way a flag or anthem are likely to be. One idea Template:Infobox region symbols might however take from this one is the divide between living and inanimate insignia.

Please share opinions at the TfD page here: Templates for discussion/Log/2023 January 17-- Patrick Neil, o Ѻ ∞/Talk 02:50, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

 * As per the result of the discussion, the parameters and the structure of Infobox U.S. state symbols were merged with Infobox region symbols. Take a look and maybe propose some changes or discuss the errors. Tojoroy20 (talk) 08:08, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

 * There were some issues with the first attempt at the merge, so I've proposed a new sandbox merge candidate here. Please take a look and see if there are any problems. — hike395 (talk) 22:46, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Advanced Research and Assessment Group

The Advanced Research and Assessment Group (ARAG) was a department of the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom concerned with long-term planning and threat assessment.

ARAG was established in 2005 by Chris Donnelly CMG, the former principal advisor to the NATO Secretary General. He realised that across the UK Ministry of Defence and wider government no organisation was either adaptable or innovative enough to research 21st Century security challenges. ARAG brought together experts from the military, academia and other fields in "research clusters" dedicated to specific areas of concern, in order to provide policy-makers with focussed analysis of international security issues. ARAG members were hand-picked and came from a wide background of skills, experience and nationalities. ARAG subsumed the Conflict Studies Research Centre, previously known as the Soviet Studies Research Centre, which for nearly 40 years had studied the Soviet Union, working in open source organic languages to supplement MoD and Intelligence Service assets. ARAG worked across government departments undertaking both directed and undirected research and broadening its reach to encompass new security challenges such as China, cyber security and strategic communication. It produced a large number of research papers - made freely available to the public from the Defence Academy website - as well as more targeted limited distribution work. Many of these papers became seminal reference works including Russia and The West: A Reassessment by Dr James Sherr, Charles Blandy's correct prediction of the Russian attack on Georgia, Professor James Pettifer's analysis of the Greek financial crisis and the joint paper by Major General Andrew Mackay and Commander Steve Tatham. Mackay is on public record as stating that ARAG was the only organisation in the MoD capable of helping him plan and write his operational design for his Brigade tour in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, in 2007. ARAG also administered the Defence Academy Reserve Cadre, a network of over 70 Reserve Forces personnel with unusual civilian skills sets or languages. The Cadre personnel were designed to augment regular forces and other government departments in providing specialist civilian skills in operational areas. They were also, at one point, the only part of the UK Defence Community directly assisting the UK Prevent agenda through their mentoring at the Active Change Foundation. The cadre was described by then Vice Chief of Defence Staff General Sir Timothy Granville-Chapman as a 'work of genius'.

In 2007 Mr Donnelly handed management of ARAG to Dr Jamie MacIntosh, the former Special Advisor to the Home Secretary Dr John Reid. Dr MacIntosh was responsible for advising Dr Reid to split the functions of the Home Office – declaring that it was not 'fit for purpose'.

ARAG was renamed Research & Assessment Branch in late 2009 and, losing its own budget, incorporated into the Defence Academy's HQ Building - newly refurbished to accommodate them. Widely flagged as a means to preserve ARAG's capability, the Defence Academy's Director General, Lieutenant General Andrew Graham, told the staff that he was 'passionate about research' and that the capability was secure under his tenure. However less than three months later and despite having an annual budget of less than £1 million, ARAG was closed down in February 2010 by General Graham as a cost-saving measure. The move was widely condemned, with letters of protest being sent from government departments, the security services, former senior members of the US government, academia and other organisations. However ARAG and its new head had already made itself unpopular in Whitehall for pointing out the many failures of government departments and agencies as part of their 'red-teaming' function. R&AB also made itself unpopular within the Defence Academy itself – suggesting that whilst over 300 military officers graduated each year from the JSCSC Staff Courses there was no measure of effectiveness of the courses and no way to measure their value for money. R&AB staff also pointed out inconsistencies and failings of the various contracts and PFIs that existed in the Defence Academy. For example, despite King's College London and SERCO receiving millions in public money, no online research papers were available to students - a basic research tool enjoyed by every other university in the UK - and basic administrative functions were hugely and disproportionately expensive. As a consequence many senior officers were reluctant to make a case for its retention. The comments from King's College London Staff were particularly revealing. The BBC featured its demise, twice, in The World at One on 3 Feb 2010 and a large number of PQs were raised by various MPs. The answers provided by the then Minister for the Armed Forces, Bill Rammell, were confused and suggested that ARAG's functions would be handed to other organisations - a clear breach of negotiated Union arrangements and as such the basis of an ongoing dispute between the Defence Academy and the Prospect Union. Since the vast majority of ARAG and R&AB's work was undertaken in organic language analysis, it is unclear how such functions could be fulfilled by King's College London or Cranfield University. In discussions with staff after the decision it became apparent that the senior management of the Defence Academy were unaware of much of the work R&AB had undertaken - a failing that many of the staff attributed to firstly Dr Macintosh, who in 2009 had inexplicably ceased the publication of all R&AB papers for nearly one year, and secondly to Lt General Graham who has taken a far less hands on approach with Defence Academy business than his predecessor Lieutenant General John Kiszely, who had been actively involved in many of ARAGs projects - instead creating a new 1 Star post (Army Brigadier Sean Crane) to help oversee the Academy's multimillion-pound business.

With no tangible written output for nearly a year, Brigadier Crane questioned the worth of the unit and its Head was apparently unable to make a case for its retention. At its close the 25 full-time R&AB staff spoke 27 languages and administered a distributed global network of associates and subject matter experts of over 5000 people world-wide. All of R&AB's civil servants joined the MoD re-deployment pool whilst its long standing contractors - Persian, Arabic and Russian analysts - were laid off. R&AB's network of experts was dismantled. No other comparable organisation exists in the Western world. The Reserve Cadre was also disbanded at the same time.

In April 2010 Dr Macintosh was loaned by the MoD to a new crisis and resilience research centre at University College London founded by Dr John Reid for a period of three years. Many of the new centre's functions (Quote: the institute will encompass themes such as behaviour, capacity, media, strategy and development unquote) exactly mirror those of the former R&AB, leading to further accusations that the MoD still requires the functions formally provided by R&AB.

Same as It Ever Was

Same as It Ever Was is the second album by American hip hop group House of Pain. It was released in 1994 and peaked at number 12 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Billboard 200. To record the album, the group had to work around Everlast's house arrest for a gun charge. The clean version of the second song from the album, "I'm a Swing It", was featured in the 2001 skateboarding video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.

Reception
Same as It Ever Was did not reach the same commercial heights as the group's previous album; however, Same as It Ever Was peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard 200 chart (their highest position to date) and also reached gold status by Recording Industry Association of America.

AllMusic gave it four out five stars. Matt Carlson of The Michigan Daily found the album quite good and noted "the music is laid back with some heavy driving forces underlying and strengthening it". Andrew Love of The Ocala Star-Banner gave it four stars saying "this is a band that has definitely progressed over the course of one album". J.D. Constantine of The Baltimore Sun did not like the album and found it monotonous and unimaginative. Roger Catlin of the Hartford Courant said that while finding the continuity monotonous it's "hard and compelling" as well as a "strong outing". Music critic Robert Christgau gave the album an A− and described it as "the hardest hip hop of the year."

Jean-Pierre Rives

Jean-Pierre Rives (born 31 December 1952) is a French former rugby union player and visual artist. "A cult figure in France", according to the BBC, he came to epitomise the team's spirit and "ultra-committed, guts-and-glory style of play". He won 59 caps for France – 34 of them as captain – and was inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame. After retiring from the sport, Rives concentrated entirely on his art. He is both a painter and a sculptor, and exhibiting regularly at prominent public venues all over the globe. Rives was awarded the Order of the Legion of Honor and the National Order of Merit by the government of France.

Early life and career
Jean-Pierre Rives was born on 31 December 1952 in Saint-Simon, a suburb of Toulouse, in the Haute-Garonne, Occitan departement of southwestern France. He grew up with his brother Philippe in the family of Jo and Lydia Rives. Jean-Pierre started drawing and painting in primary school – a passion that would stay with him throughout his whole life. His father was a pilot and an avid tennis player, and he encouraged his son, who excelled in athletics at early age, to pursue tennis, but it was rugby that would become Jean-Pierre Rives' ultimate choice.

Rugby
Rives began playing rugby for his hometown club in 1974. Even though he was considered to be too small to play as flanker, standing at 5 ft 10 in (178 cm), he decisively proved the doubters wrong, and it was not long until his unmistakable talent gained attention from the national selectors. Rives made his France debut against England in 1975, at the age of 22, marking the start of an international career that would take him to the very top in terms of both personal and team achievements.

Jean-Pierre Rives was instrumental in helping France to the Grand Slam in 1977 and was installed as French captain during the 1978 season. He played for TOEC, Beaumont and Stade Toulousain, then in 1981 left Toulouse to join Racing Club de France. During Rives' rugby career, the essence of his game was to be always close to the ball, in the thick of the action. He was dubbed the Casque d'or (French for "Golden helmet") due to his long and wild blond hair. Roger Couderc, the iconic voice of rugby on French TV of the time, came up with this nickname that stuck with Rives throughout his entire career. It was his hair, along with his bravery, which also brought him the nickname Asterix.

Rives captained France in 34 games, a world record at the time, and played in the teams which completed the Grand Slam in the (then) Five Nations Championship in 1977 and 1981. Rives also captained the first French side to beat the All Blacks in New Zealand. He also played for a World XV on 9 August 1980 against in Buenos Aires, losing 36–22. Rives would have his career ended by a succession of shoulder injuries in 1984. His final match for France came in that year's Five Nations defeat to Scotland at Murrayfield.

In 2000, a documentary feature film entitled L'Empreinte des champions: Jean-Pierre Rives (The Mark of the Champions: Jean-Pierre Rives) was released and made headlines. The reviews were largely positive, but there were detractors as well. The loudest criticism came from Libération, which found the documentary to be "evocative of a hagiography about a member of the Politburo, released by the Soviet news media". "Altruism, courage, charisma, generosity, moral strength, humility – it's all there," lamented the left leaning French daily.

Jean-Pierre Rives was influential in France's bid to host the 2007 Rugby World Cup, and played a part in the trophy presentation following the tournament's final. One of his sculptures is now a part of the French rugby calendar, after he was asked in 2007 to design the Giuseppe Garibaldi Trophy. The trophy is awarded annually to the winner of the Six Nations match between France and Italy. Also in 2007, Roselyne Bachelot, the French Minister of Health, inaugurated a new Sports Center in Courbevoie, a suburb of Paris. To honor Rives' brilliant achievements, the spacious new 272000 square foot Sports Complex was named Espace Jean-Pierre Rives.

A "legend", according to the BBC, and "a blood-stained hero [who] remains an iconic presence to fans the world over", according to ESPN, Jean-Pierre Rives' fame transcends sport. He has been an inspiration and a role model for fans across generational and cultural lines."I marvel at the emergence of an artist like Jean-Pierre Rives," wrote the prize winning French author Antoine Blondin. Other admirers included architect Jean Nouvel, who admits to not being a sports enthusiast, television personality Maïtena Biraben, who calls him "her idol," and actor Hugh Jackman, who said of him, "I was pretty obsessed with rugby player Jean-Pierre Rives. A small guy on the field, he finished every game with blood on face."

Art
Sculpture is just invention and energy, and rugby is energy too, and invention sometimes."– Jean-Pierre Rives. Jean-Pierre Rives turned to art full-time after his retirement from rugby in 1984. Art had been his passion since early boyhood, and he immersed himself in it with dedication that soon earned him critical acclaim. Rives' chosen media became painting and sculpture, which he took up when he was still a rugby player, after meeting a well-known French sculptor and Prix de Rome winner, Albert Feraud. The two men found a commonality of aesthetics, and Rives moved to a house not far away from Feraud's home in Bagneux. Many of Rives' earlier sculptures were created in Feraud's atelier, where both artists worked side by side. "He invited me to his studio, and I never got out," Rives told Hugh Schofield of the BBC. Rives considers Albert Feraud a great man and an inspiration. Another artist that inspired Rives' work is a Polish-born French painter Ladislas Kijno.

The bond between art and sport feels natural to Rives, as he believes that art and rugby can be interconnected, and emotions are found in both. "In sports you make movement and you are maybe sculpting or painting in the space with your body," he told Clara Iaccarino of the Sydney Morning Herald. "In art you use instruments. Art is just energy, you have to do it; it has to come out." He works in a disused railway shed in the north of Paris, where he forms and twists his found steel, manipulating the shapes created by the resulting positive and negative spaces. He cuts the beams strategically to form complex compositions in which the hardness of the steel forms a powerful juxtaposition to the soft curves. Rives' sculptures were called by the French La Dépêche du Midi "a marvelous mixture of suffering, grace and beauty".

Rives sees his paintings as the two-dimensional reflections of his sculptures. He uses the word "impression" to describe both the technique and the philosophy applied to his canvases. The impression is made by a mark or an indentation created by pressure, as if his sculptures were dipped in tar and paint and then pressed onto the surface of a canvas. This term "impression" also alludes to the effect the paintings produce on the viewer, and the feelings they evoke.

Jean-Pierre Rives' sculptures have been showcased at public venues around the world including the prestigious Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, a stone's throw from the classical Senate building, in 2002. This installation marked the first time sculptures were exhibited there since Auguste Rodin's exhibition more than a century ago. A widely attended and written about vernissage attracted many of France's powerful political and business leaders and, according to the influential Le Point, included "a pack of Rives' elite" – friends and collectors all – Serge Kampf, founder of Cap Gemini, Claude Bébéar, founder of AXA, Henri Lachmann, CEO of Schneider Electric, Jean-René Fourtou, Chairman of Vivendi, Pierre Dauzier, President of Havas and Thierry Breton Chairman of France Télécom and future Finance Minister. Other large scale shows included the annual Sculpture by the Sea exhibition in Sydney, Australia, in 2007, an exhibition in the historically important Royal Park in Brussels, Belgium, in 2009, an exhibition in the 18th century sculpture garden Le Grand Rond in Toulouse, France, in 2010, an installation on the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in Manhattan, New York, in 2010, and a large-scale installation at the Musée des Jacobins in Auch, France in 2014, to name a few.

Jean-Pierre Rives' work is found in numerous private and public collections throughout the globe, including Musée du quai Branly in Paris, Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, also in Paris, and Asago Art Village Museum and Sculpture Garden in Asago, Japan, among many others. He is represented in the U.S. by the Serge Sorokko Gallery.

Personal life
Jean-Pierre Rives met his first wife, an American model and singer/songwriter Jennifer Taylor, in Paris, in the early 1980s. The marriage ended in a divorce. He has since remarried and fathered two sons – Jasper and Kino-Jean. Rives and his wife, Sonia, split their time between Ibiza and St-Tropez.

Togba-Nah Tipoteh

Togba-Nah Tipoteh (born 1941) is an economist, educator and politician, having been a presidential candidate in three elections. For more than three decades, he has been actively involved with democratic activities in promotion of human rights, liberties, constitutional rule and growth with development in Liberia and throughout Africa. He is President of the Movement for Justice in Africa (MOJA); was founding Chairman of the Collaborating Political Parties (CPP), an alliance of Liberian political parties; was founder and Director-General of Susukuu Incorporated (1971- ), Liberia's oldest non-governmental development organization, which was credited by the West Africa Peacekeeping Force (ECOMOG) as helping to disarm over 10,000 combatants and child soldiers in Liberia during the 1997 disarmament program through a school for gun program; and was former Chairman of the Interest Groups of Liberia, a consortium of 32 national organizations with a collective membership of well over one million persons.

Early life
Togba-Nah Tipoteh was born in Monrovia in 1941 to Reverend and Mrs Samuel Togba Roberts of Grand Kru County. He was educated at the College of West Africa (high school) and at the University of Liberia. He earned bachelor's and master's degrees in economics from Ohio University (Athens) and Ohio State University in Columbus, US, in June 1963 and 1964 respectively. In 1969, he earned a doctorate degree in economics while studying as a Harvard University/United Nations Special Fund Fellow in Economic Development at the University of Nebraska. In the early 1970s, Tipoteh was associate professor of economics, chair of the Economics Department and director of the Management Research Institute at the University of Liberia (1971-1974). He was Liberia's national tennis champion for 30 unbroken years (1964-1994)

Political career
In 1973, Tipoteh founded the Movement for Justice in Africa (MOJA), a leftist pan-African political organization which played a pivotal role in the struggle for social justice and democracy in Liberia in the 1970s. He served as a Budget Advisor to Liberian President William R. Tolbert, in which position he expressed concerns about government waste and advocated public management reforms.

He was the first Minister of Planning and Economic Affairs (1980-1981) under the regime of Samuel K. Doe which overthrew President Tolbert, but resigned after 15 months in office, citing human rights abuses by the government as his reason for leaving.

In 1983 the Liberian People's Party (LPP) was formed as the electoral wing of MOJA. In Liberia's 1997 elections Tipoteh ran as the presidential candidate of the LPP, winning 1.61% of the vote. In Liberia's 2005 elections, Tipoteh was the candidate for the Alliance for Peace and Democracy, an alliance of the LPP and another veteran opposition movement, the United People's Party (UPP), winning 2.3%.

In Liberia's 2011 elections, he was the candidate of the Freedom Alliance Party of Liberia (FAPL). After being knocked out in the first round, he endorsed Ellen Johnson Sirleaf for the second round, saying in a statement that his party's decision followed observation and evaluation of the two parties in the run-off, based on the issue of societal transparency.

Tipoteh is also a businessman, and serves as chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Kukatornon Reconstruction Corporation. Through his scholarship program, he mentors and sends hundreds of students (mainly children) from all counties of Liberia to schools and colleges in Liberia. He married the former Ms. Fatu Kanneh of Lofa County and they have an adopted son, a former child soldier from war lord Charles Taylor's NPFL. To his admirers he is known as "the only man on the ground" - the only presidential candidate to remain in Liberia after the 1997 election victory of Taylor. Tipoteh, wearing an Obama T-shirt the last weekend of the US presidential election, endorsed Barack Obama of the Democratic Party, predicting that Obama would win the election.

He has worked in international development in the United States, the Netherlands, Mozambique, Ghana, South Africa and other countries, as well as for the United Nations system: Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), International Monetary Fund (IMF), African Economic Community (ECA) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), among others.

Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy

The Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy is a Cricket trophy that is awarded annually by the International Cricket Council to the ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year. It is considered to be the most prestigious of the annual ICC Awards and was first awarded in 2004 to Rahul Dravid.

The trophy is named after former West Indies cricket captain Sir Garfield Sobers, whose name was chosen by a panel consisting of Richie Benaud, Sunil Gavaskar and Michael Holding. They were asked by the ICC to select "an individual with whom to honour cricket's ultimate individual award".

Selection
The recipient of the annual award is selected by an "academy" of 56 individuals (expanded from 50 in 2004), including the current national team captains of the Test-playing nations (10), members of the elite panel of ICC umpires and referees (18), and certain prominent former players and cricket correspondents (28). In the event of a tie in the voting, the award is shared.

River Brain

The River Brain is a tributary of the River Blackwater in Essex, England. It is claimed to have given its name to the town of Braintree, although it seems that the name ‘Braintree’ is older, and that the river name is a back formation from the town name; Braintree lies on a low ridge between the Brain and the River Blackwater. To the north of Braintree it is known as Pods Brook. The brook rises near the village of Bardfield Saling. Below Braintree the Brain joins the Blackwater in Whet Mead in Witham. In 2001, a "flood park" was planned to reduce the risk of overflow from the river.

Herb Jepko

Herbert Earl Jepko (born William Jepko; March 20, 1931 – March 31, 1995) was an influential radio talk show host in Salt Lake City from 1964 to 1990. He was the first radio talk show host to do a nationally syndicated, satellite-delivered program.

Early years
Herb Jepko was born in Hayden, Colorado to a single mother named Mary Irene Parke. He was originally named William, but when he was adopted by Metro and Nellie Jepko of Prescott, Arizona, they renamed him Herbert Earl Jepko. Metro and Nellie's marriage was not a happy one. After they divorced, Metro got custody, but he was a wounded World War I veteran, and he soon took ill. With his father unable to care for him, Herb had to spend time in foster care off and on. He attended school in Prescott, but then his father got healthy enough to take care of him again, and in 1949, they moved to Phoenix. Jepko graduated high school there, and briefly attended Phoenix College, which was then a small two-year college and is today flagship of the Maricopa Community College system. He aspired to become a doctor, but soon ran out of money and was drafted into the Army. It was during his time in the military that he discovered his life's work—radio, working in Radio-Television Operations while serving in the Korean War.

After completing his military service, he found work in radio at several stations around the Western United States, including KVNA in Flagstaff, Arizona, and KFI in Los Angeles. It was while he was the promotion director at KFI that he was influenced by a popular late night host named Ben Hunter, whose overnight call-in program was called the Night Owl show. Hunter's work was getting positive attention, and Herb was impressed with how loyal the late-night audience was. He stayed in LA throughout the rest of the 50s, where he married Patsy Little Brown (listeners would later know her as 'Pat'). Jepko, Patsy and their five children from previous marriages moved to Salt Lake City, her home town, in the early 1960s. They later had one child together, Herb Jepko Junior.

Radio career
Herb was hired by several Salt Lake City-area stations, including KCPX, where he played jazz for the late night audience; and a new station, KANN in Ogden, Utah, where he did the afternoon drive segment. In 1962, Herb joined KSL first doing afternoons, and then in April 1963, becoming the station's morning show disc jockey, a shift he held throughout the rest of 1963. Despite being in a very visible shift, Herb was puzzled that KSL signed off at midnight, even though it was Utah's most powerful station; its booming 50,000-watt clear channel signal reached most of the western half of North America. He knew how successful Ben Hunter's program had been, and he believed there was a similar late night audience in Salt Lake City that was not being served. On February 11, 1964, Herb's late-night show aired for the first time. It was an open-mic call-in show, initially known as The Other Side of the Day, and later named Nitecap in a contest for a new name held among listeners early in the show's first year. The show was later picked up by the Mutual Broadcasting System, first broadcast on November 4, 1975. The show became the first nationwide call-in talk radio program. One of the stations that carried the show was Mutual affiliate WHAS in Louisville, a 50,000-watt "flamethrower" like KSL. The two stations' combined signals brought Nitecap to nearly all of North America.

Jepko's groundbreaking 1975 launch on Mutual is often cited as the pioneering kick-start for nationally broadcast talk-radio that allowed for the prominence of such hosts as Larry King and Phil Donahue. Ironically, when Jepko's Mutual contract was terminated on May 29, 1977, he was replaced first by Long John Nebel and Candy Jones (a husband and wife team), and then in January 1978 by Larry King. Mutual had reportedly offered Jepko a chance to continue his program if he would become more controversial and try to attract a younger audience, but he adamantly refused, feeling he had an obligation to his existing, largely older and rural, loyal listeners.

The Herb Jepko Nitecap Show was idiosyncratic, never focusing on any single topic. Carrying a laid-back atmosphere inherent to its then-unusual 12:00 a.m. – 6:00 a.m. time slot, the show consisted entirely of listener call-ins: any subject the listener wished to talk about, no matter how trivial, was allowed, and the only forbidden topics were politics and denominational religion. Later, as the show became more popular, callers were limited to one call every two weeks of no more than 5 minutes. Jepko would run a music box known as "Tinkerbell", which played a rendition of the song "Never on Sunday", to indicate that the caller's time was up.

Most of Jepko's listeners were elderly, invalids, shut-ins, and long-distance truckers, but many were also insomniacs who enjoyed hearing a friendly voice in the middle of the night. And with the radio broadcasting mostly abrasive, sarcastic and impatient talk hosts, Jepko, whose listeners affectionately called him "Herbie", was known for being warm, friendly, patient and thoroughly non-controversial. He told an interviewer in 1965 that he hoped his show would contribute to "good will and understanding", and that his listeners would feel they were part of a family.

Jepko and the Nitecaps
Nitecaps was more than just a radio show. It was a club — the Nitecaps International Association. Local members formed chapters, called "Nitestands". Members took Jepko's message about good will to heart, and volunteered their time to the elderly, ill, service men and women and shut-ins; Nitestands were not only for socializing with other fans of the show, but they were an opportunity to do charitable work in each local community. And sometimes, Jepko would come to town and do a live broadcast. Additionally, Herb and Patsy sponsored an annual convention for members, giving them an opportunity to meet each other. That sense of community was especially important, and Jepko promoted it whenever possible. The Nitecaps show had its own magazine, called "The Wick", and its own theme song — written by listener Della Dame, and performed by local musician Don Ray (the song was chosen by listeners from another on-air contest of listener-created songs). Jepko also created a Nitecaps travel agency, and an insurance company, as well as compiling recipe books from recipes sent in by listeners. In fact, any Nitecaps listener could find a variety of merchandise that was available for purchase, often marketed in the pages of the Wick.

The show had many regular callers, some of whom became celebrities of sorts among the listeners. They included "Maggie", an organist from California who often played songs for the listeners, a retired beekeeper named Leon, and a young caller from the East Coast known by the pseudonym "The Slasher". At a Nitecaps convention in Hunt Valley, Maryland, "The Slasher" delighted many (including Mr. Jepko himself) by making a personal appearance. After Jepko was dropped by Mutual in May 1977, his fans were very upset and insisted that he somehow stay on the air. Jepko cobbled together fourteen stations, including the powerful KSL, which became the new "Nitecap Radio Network".

Unfortunately by this time (unlike the early 1960s), Herb had plenty of late-night competition including cable TV, 24-hour radio stations and the increasingly popular Larry King, who replaced Jepko and Nebel on Mutual. When KSL dropped the show in late 1978, Herb continued the show on a handful of stations, eventually bankrupting his personal assets in an effort to keep going. Several attempts were made to resurrect the program, including one with clear-channel WOAI in the early 1980s, but none proved successful or long-lasting.

Final years
Despite his popularity, Jepko did not significantly profit from his work. According to a former colleague, his Nitecaps show had been financially successful, but his deal with Mutual was not to his advantage. Where he and his staff had done all the selling of commercial time on the KSL program, Mutual insisted on doing the selling for the syndicated show. There were problems almost immediately, resulting in on-going friction between the way Mutual wanted things done and how Jepko thought things ought to be. Jepko ended up convinced that Mutual did not understand his unique audience. Mutual, on the other hand, faced with challenges in convincing affiliates to carry the show (only around 70 of Mutual's over 500 affiliates ever carried Jepko's program) decided Jepko's audience was too old, unsophisticated, and not large enough to bring in a profit for the network. As Jepko perceived it, Mutual betrayed their original contract with him and gave up on the show. By the time Jepko's contract with Mutual ended, he had lost most of whatever money his original Nitecaps show had brought him.

Jepko's youngest son, Herbert Earl Jr., died of AIDS in 1992. Jepko's health quickly declined after that, and there is anecdotal evidence from former colleagues that he had a drinking problem for years, which escalated during this time. The cause of his death was given as "liver failure" (7).

Some of his former listeners still recall him fondly as proving that a talk show could be kinder and gentler and still attract a wide audience at a time when radio was becoming more controversial with both hosts and listeners/talkers more angry.

In 2003, Herb Jepko was posthumously inducted into the Utah Broadcaster Association's Hall of Fame and there is an effort to establish a Memorial scholarship fund in his name at the University of Utah, see www.nitecaps.net link below.

On July 6, 2020 Clyde Lewis on his show Ground Zero said that "Herb Jepko was Art Bell before there was Art Bell..." and credited Jepko as an inspiration for his radio career, as well as Edward R. Murrow, Paul Harvey, Rush Limbaugh and Bell.

Resen, North Macedonia

Resen (Ресен ) is a town in southwestern North Macedonia, with just under 9,000 inhabitants. Resen is approximately equidistant between Bitola and Ohrid. The town rises 880 m above sea level and is situated near Lake Prespa. Resen is the only town in the Prespa Lake area and is the seat of Resen Municipality.

Name
The name of the city in Macedonian is Resen (Ресен) and in Turkish Resne, while in Albanian it is known as Resnjë (definite form: Resnja). In Aromanian, it is Areshanj and in Greek Resinion, Ρησίνιον.

History
The ancient Illyrian city of Damastion (Δαμάστιον in Greek) may be near Resen. Resen's history dates back to Roman times when the famous road Via Egnatia was built, passing through the city.

During the Middle Ages, the Prespa area was part of the Bulgarian empire under Samuil. After the Battle of Klyuch, some of Samuil's soldiers, who were each blinded in one eye, settled in a village on the shore of Lake Prespa. The Byzantines called the village Asamati. The Byzantine meaning of this word is "settlement of one-eyed people". From then on, Resen was under Byzantine rule.

Later, Resen became part of the Second Bulgarian Empire, Serbian Empire and Ottoman Empire, and it was the birthplace of Ahmed Niyazi Bey, an Albanian officer from a noble family of the town, who was one of the initiators and leaders of the Young Turk Revolution in the region in 1908. Ahmed Niyazi Bey's most famous monument in Resen is the Saraj, a French-style estate he built. In the late 19th and early 20th century, Resen was part of the Manastir Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. During this time, Aromanians were the second most numerous group in Resen after Macedonians.

From 1929 to 1941, Resen was part of the Vardar Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

Demographics
In the late Ottoman period, according to N. Th. Shinas (1886), Resen had a total population of 5,530 divided by 3,300 Muslims and 3,300 Christians. According to Spiridon Gopčević (1889), Resen (5,200) had 2,150 Muslims, 2,400 Christians, 500 Romani, 660 Aromanians and 700 Muslim Serbs. Vasil Kanchov (1900) in his statistics had listed Resen (4,450) as composed of 2,400 Bulgarian Christians, 800 Bulgarian Muslims, 350 Romani, 300 Muslim Albanians, 570 Aromanians and 30 Turks. According to the statistics of Dimitri Mishev and D. M. Brancoff, the town had a total Christian population of 4,388 in 1905, consisting of 2,096 Exarchist Bulgarians, 1,296 Patriarchist Bulgarians, 696 Christian Albanians and 300 Vlachs. The town also had 5 schools, of which 2 were Bulgarian, 2 Greek and 1 Vlach. According to A. Arvanitis, in Resen (7,500) there were 2,500 Turks, 2,000 Bulgarians and 3,000 Greeks. According to K. Andreadis (1910), the population of Resen was 5,000-6,000 consisting of 1,700-2,000 Muslims and 3,300-4,000 Christians with Bulgarians being the majority demographic element and some Greeks. According to Ath. Haliopoulos (1910), Resen (4,990) was composed of 2,200 Muslims, 1,700 Bulgarians, 1.000 Aromanians, 60 Romanians and 30 Serbs. According to Tr. Evangelidis (1913), Resen (7,500) had 3,750 Greeks.

As of the 2002 census, the town of Resen has 8,748 inhabitants and the ethnic composition was the following:

 * Macedonians, 6,431 (73.5%)
 * Turks, 1,369 (15.7%)
 * Albanians, 325 (3.7%)
 * others, 623 (7.1%)

The mother tongues of the city's residents include the following:
 * Macedonian, 6,574 (75.2%)
 * Turkish, 1,355 (15.5%)
 * Albanian, 629 (7.2%)
 * others, 190 (2.2%)

The religious composition of the city was the following:
 * Orthodox Christians, 6,382 (73.0%)
 * Muslims, 2,272 (26.0%)
 * others, 94 (1.0%)

A sizable amount of the Macedonian population originates from the nearby villages of Podmočani, Bolno, Malovišta in addition to other villages from the Lake Ohrid area who settled in Resen during the middle of the 19th century. The Albanian population settled in Resen during first decades of the 19th century originating from the Yanya vilayet. In contemporary times Muslim Albanians live in small numbers within Resen. In the latter decades of the 20th century, some Albanian-speaking Muslim Romani from the villages of Krani and Nakolec have migrated to Resen. Most of the Muslim population living in Resen speaks Turkish and are either descended from Turks settled in strategic areas or the descendants of local Turkified Slavs during Ottoman rule. A small population of Orthodox Aromanians also lives in Resen.

Climate
Resen has a mild continental climate with cold winters and warm summers, which makes it a tourist attraction, especially in summer. The climate and the quality of soil are key factors for Prespa's region to have a long tradition of agriculture. One of the most important landmarks of Resen's today are the apple orchards, well known for the quality and specific taste of apples.

Culture

Resen is home to Prespa's Ceramic Colony, established in the 1970s, which attracts renowned artists from all over the world. The organization is included in the UNESCO International Academy of Ceramics. It is housed in the Saraj, which also houses the Dragi Tozija House of Culture, the Keraca Visulčeva Gallery, and a library.

Sports
Local football club FK Prespa plays in the Macedonian Third League (Southwest Division) and FK Jildirimspor plays in the 4th tier OFL Resen.

Vidyāraṃbhaṃ

Vidyarambham (विद्यारम्भ), also rendered Akshara Abhyasam (अक्षर अभ्यासम), and Mutal Eluttu (முதல் எழுத்து) is a Hindu initiation ceremony that is performed before a child begins their formal education. This ritual is dedicated to the goddess of learning, Saraswati. It is popular in the South Indian states of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana.

Etymology
The ceremony of Vidyarambham derives its name from the Sanskrit terms Vidya meaning "knowledge", and arambham, meaning "beginning".

Ceremony
The ceremony is intended to introduce young children into the world of knowledge, letters, and the process of learning. After a child completes four years of age, on the occasion of Vijayadashami, the father or the instructor of the child chants and writes either the Panchaksharam or the Ashtaksharam mantra on whole wheat or grains of rice, piled on a banana leaf, placed in front of a puja. Holding the hand of the child, the father or the instructor traces the words of the mantra using the former's finger. The alphabets of the child's native language are then written on the grain. Following the completion of this ceremony, the child is admitted for their formal education at school.

Significance
The Vijayadashami day is the tenth and final day of the Navaratri celebrations, and is considered auspicious for beginning learning in any field. The process of learning and initiation on this day is also closely related to the Ayudha Puja ritual. It is usually on Vijayadashami that the implements kept for puja are taken up again for re-use. This is also considered a day when the goddess of learning, Saraswati, and teachers (gurus) must be revered by giving gurudakshina. This usually consists of a betel leaf, areca nut, along with a small token of money and a new piece of clothing - a dhoti or sari.

Regional practices
In Kerala, this ritual is usually conducted on the last day of Navaratri, i.e. on Vijayadashami day where children are formally introduced to learning of music, dance, languages and other folk arts. Vidyarambham can also be performed at home on an auspicious time (muhurta) following the rituals. It involves a ceremony of initiation into the characters of the syllabary. In Odisha, the festival is known as Khadi Chuan (ଖଡ଼ିଛୁଆଁ) and is mainly celebrated on Ganesh Chaturthi and Vasant Panchami. The Gnana Saraswati Temple in Basar, Telangana, is a popular temple where this ceremony is held for a large number of children.

Copyright violation
Hi, I suspect that a part of this article was copied from a website about people of German heritage living in Maryland. It could be that the website had copied its text from Wikipedia (as was the case with this website), but seeing as the other parts of the germanmarylanders website (in fact, most of it) was not copied from the Hilary Hahn article, it is a safe bet to assume that the Hilary Hahn article copied the text from the germanmarylanders website. Obviously, the references in there are not copied from the germanmarylanders website, so those can stay, but I think that the article in general needs a substantial rewrite. Does anyone know how I would go about doing this? Icebob99 (talk) 23:59, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

31% redundant
It would be redundant with Percentage. Else why not create a page for every percent up to infinity? :) GeeJo (t) (c) 21:06, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Possessive form of Hipparchus
Hi, just to say that I've always been taught to use, for example, " Hipparchus' " (without an extra 's') as the possessive form for classical names that end in 's', so for the moment I've reverted your change at Hipparchus.

All the best. –Syncategoremata (talk) 19:02, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

 * I hardly think "I've always been taught..." is a good reason to make an edit... so I looked it up! WP:STYLE states that we're both right, so I'll defer to the status quo.  In the future, it'd be great if you would cite WP guidelines in situations like this; it avoids potential edit wars with people who think you're just being contrary. –Super Aardvark (talk) 21:16, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Sukayu Onsen

Sukayu Onsen (酸ヶ湯) is an onsen (hot spring) in the Hakkōda Mountains in the city of Aomori, Aomori Prefecture in Japan. It is known for its "Sen-nin-buro" or "Bath of a thousand bathers", a large mixed gender public bath.

Climate
Sukayu Onsen is the snowiest inhabited place on Earth with an average yearly snowfall of 17.6 m and a winter season record of 23.7 m. It also holds the record of having the highest snow depth ever recorded at a JMA certified weather station of 566 cm, recorded on February 26, 2013. Despite the extremely high snowfall, Sukayu Onsen is accessible by road all year round.

Sukayu Onsen, despite the incredibly high yearly snowfall, has a humid continental climate (Dfb), and is one of the coldest and snowiest inhabited places in Japan. Summers are generally short, but mild to warm with many rainy days. Winters are cold by Japanese standards and extremely snowy, due to the high elevation. Springs and Autumns can be highly variable, being rainy, snowy, cold, mild, sunny, or all kinds of weather in a week.

Hiram A. Tuttle

 * For the Olympic horseman, see Hiram Tuttle (equestrian)

Hiram Americus Tuttle (October 16, 1837 – February 10, 1911) was an American merchant and Republican politician from Pittsfield, New Hampshire, who served as the 43rd governor of New Hampshire from 1891 to 1893.

Biography
Hiram A. Tuttle was born in Barnstead, New Hampshire, on October 16, 1837. His was raised in Pittsfield, New Hampshire, and educated in the local schools and at Pittsfield Academy. He then began a business career, starting as a clerk in a clothing store and becoming successful in lumber, banking, mercantile enterprises, and railroads.

A Republican, he entered politics in 1860 when he won the election for town clerk, giving the local Democratic Party its first loss in over 30 years.

Tuttle served in the House of Representatives (1873-1874). From 1875 to 1877 he served on the military staff of Governor Person Colby Cheney with the rank of Colonel. Tuttle was a member of the Governor's Council from 1878 to 1881. In 1888 he was a Delegate to the Republican National Convention. In 1888 he was also a candidate for Governor, but lost the Republican nomination to David H. Goodell.

In 1890 he was the Republican nominee for Governor. In a three-way race that included a candidate of the Prohibition Party, Tuttle finished first. The Democratic nominee, Charles H. Amsden finished second, but Tuttle did not have a majority, which meant the election had to be decided by the New Hampshire General Court. The legislature chose Tuttle, and he served a two-year term, 1891 to 1893. During his term the state library in Concord was established, he laid the cornerstone of the main building at the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts, and he represented the state at the dedication of the Bennington Battle Monument.

After leaving the governorship Tuttle returned to his business interests. He died in Pittsfield on February 10, 1911, and was buried at Floral Park Cemetery in Pittsfield.

THE CHLORASTROLITE IS THE STATE GEM —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.58.55.2 (talk) 19:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

This article should be combined with pumpellyite. Chlorastrolite is not a distinct mineral but rather a nodular variety of pumpellyite-(Mg). In addition, zonochlorite is not "sold as faux chlorastrolite," but instead is a much rarer and more impure form of pumpellyite-(Mg) containing ample banded impurities of clinochlore, silica, and possible prehnite. It has been proposed that zonochlorite is a replacement of Lake Superior agates. It should also be mentioned that the Wilson Islands on which zonochlorite is found are now protected by the Canadian government, and it is illegal to remove anything from the islands. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.113.230.149 (talk) 00:30, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
