Order of the Holy Spirit

The Order of the Holy Spirit (Ordre du Saint-Esprit; sometimes translated into English as the Order of the Holy Ghost), is a French order of chivalry founded by Henry III of France in 1578. Today, it is a dynastic order under the House of France.

It should not be confused with the Congregation of the Holy Ghost or with the religious Order of the Holy Ghost. It was the senior chivalric order of France by precedence, although not by age, since the Order of Saint Michael was established more than a century earlier.

Although officially abolished by the government authorities in 1830 following the July Revolution, its activities carried on. It is still recognised by the International Commission for Orders of Chivalry.

History
Prior to the creation of the Order of the Holy Spirit in 1578 by King Henry III, the senior order of chivalry in France had been the Order of Saint Michael. The idea flashed to him in Venice, where he had seen the original manuscript of an Order of the Saint Esprit or Droit Desir founded in 1353 by Louis of Anjou, titular king of Jerusalem and Sicily and husband of Joanna, queen of Naples and countess of Provence, and placed under the protection of St. Nicholas of Bari, whose image was reproduced on the pendant of the collar. Henry III realised that the Order of St. Michael had inflated and degraded during the civil wars, and therefore decided to place the new order of the Holy Spirit alongside it and to attribute them together; for this reason who was created knight of the Holy Spirit was called chevalier des ordres du roi. Its membership was initially restricted to a small number of powerful princes and nobles, but this increased dramatically due to the pressures of the Wars of Religion.

At the beginning of the reign of Henry III, the Order of Saint Michael had several hundred living members, ranging from kings to bourgeois. Recognising that the order had been significantly devalued, Henry III founded the Order of the Holy Spirit on December 31, 1578, thereby creating a two-tier system: the new order would be reserved for princes and powerful nobles, whilst the Order of Saint Michael would be for less eminent servants of the Crown. The new order was dedicated to the Holy Spirit to commemorate the fact that Henry III was elected as King of Poland (1573) and inherited the throne of France (1574) on two Pentecosts.

The new order was also identified with the "Order of the Knot" (Ordre du Nœud, also known as Ordre du Saint-Esprit au Droit Désir "Order of the Holy Spirit of the Right Will") which had been founded in 1352/3 by Louis I of Naples. This had been one of the short-lived chivalric orders popular among the high nobility at the time. The statutes of the 14th-century order are preserved as BNF Fr 4274. An elaborate facsimile of this manuscript was produced under Louis XIV.

During the French Revolution, the Order of the Holy Spirit was officially abolished by the French government, along with all other chivalric orders of the Ancien Régime, although the exiled Louis XVIII continued to acknowledge it. Following the Bourbon Restoration, the order was officially revived and a number were awarded for the 1825 Coronation of Charles X, only to be abolished again by the Orleanist Louis-Philippe following the July Revolution in 1830. Despite the abolition of the order, both the Orléanist and Legitimist pretenders to the French throne have continued to nominate members of the order, long after the abolition of the French monarchy itself.

Composition
The King of France was the Sovereign and Grand Master (Souverain Grand Maître), and he made all appointments to the order. Members of the order can be split into three categories:

 * 8 Ecclesiastic members;
 * 4 Officers;
 * 100 Knights.

Initially, four of the ecclesiastic members had to be cardinals, whilst the other four had to be archbishops or prelates. This was later relaxed so that all eight had to be either cardinals, archbishops or prelates.

Members of the order had to be Roman Catholic and had to be able to demonstrate three degrees of nobility. The minimum age for members was 35, although there were some exceptions:

 * Children of the king were members from birth, but they were not received into the order until they were 12;
 * Princes of the Blood could be admitted to the order from the age of 16;
 * Foreign royalty could be admitted to the order from the age of 25.

All knights of the order were also members of the Order of Saint Michael. As such, they were generally known by the term Chevalier des Ordres du Roi (i.e. "Knight of the Royal Orders"), instead of the more lengthy Chevalier de Saint-Michel et Chevalier du Saint-Esprit (i.e. "Knight of Saint Michael and Knight of the Holy Spirit").

Officers
The order had its own officers. They were responsible for the ceremonies and the administration of the order.

Officers of the order were as follows:
 * Chancellor;
 * Provost and Master of Ceremonies;
 * Treasurer;
 * Clerk (greffier).

Vestments and accoutrements
The symbol of the order is known as the Cross of the Holy Spirit (this is a Maltese Cross). At the periphery, the eight points of the cross are rounded, and between each pair of arms there is a fleur-de-lis. Imposed on the centre of the cross is a dove. The eight rounded corners represent the Beatitudes, the four fleur-de-lis represent the Gospels, the twelve petals represent the Apostles, and the dove signifies the Holy Spirit. The Cross of the Holy Spirit was worn hung from a blue riband ("Le cordon bleu").

Cordon Bleu
Due to the blue riband from which the Cross of the Holy Spirit was hung, the knights became known as Les Cordons Bleus. Allegedly, the banquets after ceremonial occasions were so famous that the expression cordon bleu became synonymous with high quality haute cuisine and, over time, extended to refer to other distinctions of the highest class. The culinary magazine La Cuisinière Cordon Bleu refers to the ribbon, as well as the eponymous network of hospitality and culinary schools. In modern English usage, cordon bleu is used as an adjective for chefs who are able to cook food to the highest standard as well as the food itself. Blue Riband sporting events are also sometimes associated with the cordon bleu.

Habit and insignia
The badge of the Order is a gold Maltese cross with white borders, each of the eight points ending in a gold ball (points boutonnées) and with a gold fleur-de-lys between each adjacent pair of its arms. At the center of the cross, was set a white dove descending (i.e., with its wings and head pointing downward) surrounded by green flames. The back of this cross worn by the knights was the same as the front except with the medallion of the Order of Saint Michael at the center rather than the dove and flames (those of ecclesiastical members were the same on the back as on the front). During the ceremonies, the cross of officers and commanders officers was attached to a collar of links of gold fleur-de-lis alternating with links consisting of a white enameled letter H (the first initial of name of the founder) crowned with a gold French royal crown, with identical crowns on either side of it or alternately with a trophy of weapons. Each of these links was surrounded with red enamel flames forming a square around it. More generally, the cross was suspended from a large ribbon of color moirée blue sky, hence the nickname cordon bleu the knights wore.

For the ceremonies of the Order and when the knights of the Order made their Communion, the knights wore a long black velvet mantle sprinkled with embroidered gold and red flames and with a representation of the collar round its edges embroidered in gold, red and silver. Like the royal mantle, this mantle opened on the right side and just as an ermine shoulder cape covered the top of the royal mantle, a shoulder cape of pale green velvet with the same embroidery but smaller was worn over this mantle and formed the upper part of it. Both the mantle proper and the shoulder cape were lined with a yellowish orange satin. The mantle was worn over a white coat (with the star of the Order embroidered on the left breast), waistcoat and puffed hose, heavily embroidered with silver. A black hat with a white plume completed the dress. The star of the Order had the same design as the front of the badge, but embroidered in silver (later a medal star in silver was used) on both the knights' coats and their vests.

Special privileges
In France, red or green sealing wax was used for the royal seal on documents requiring a royal seal. Only in documents relating to the Order of the Holy Spirit was white wax used for this royal seal.

Talk:Ottawa-Carleton District School Board

oversee education ?
I changed the following:
 * The Ottawa Carleton District School Board is a group of 14 trustees elected to oversee education in the city of Ottawa, Ontario.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a common problem in school district articles in Canada, in over-generalizing the power of the main public district. There are other school districts (with overlapping territory), and there is also more to education than K-12 (which is all a school district has authority over, though it may opt to do more). The word "oversee" implies this district/board is somehow above others, which it is not. There's lots of Education in Ottawa this district does not "oversee". --Rob 08:03, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Syntax-related clarification.
There is a statement that could use some clarification:

 * "... The district is also responsible for publicly funded K-12 schools in its territory excluding those operated by Francophone (i.e. French Canadian), or Catholic districts (which are also publicly funded)."

Here are the questions I have regarding this statement:
 * 1) Is the "district" responsible, or is the "school board" responsible for publicly-funded K-12 schools?
 * 2) Also, when it says "...Francophone..., or Catholic districts (which are also publicly funded)...", does that mean that both Francophone and Catholic districts are publicly-funded, OR is the statement suggesting that ONLY schools in Catholic districts are publicly-funded?
 * 3) Either way, who is responsible (funding?) these other schools if the OCDSB is not responsible for these schools?

For now, I shall tag this article for cleanup until this issue is resolved. Folajimi 17:51, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Samuel J. Seymour

Samuel James Seymour (March 28, 1860 – April 12, 1956) was an American man who claimed to be the last surviving person to witness the assassination of U.S. President Lincoln on April 14, 1865. He is also best known for possibly being the oldest person to appear on television at the time, in the program I've Got a Secret in February 9, 1956 (63 days before his death).

Personal life
Seymour was from Talbot County, Maryland. His parents, George and Susan Seymour, had a farm near Easton, Maryland. He later lived in Arlington, Virginia. He worked as a carpenter and contractor, and lived most of his later life in Baltimore. He married Mary Rebecca Twilley. He died April 12, 1956, at the home of his daughter in Arlington, survived by five children, thirteen grandchildren and 35 great-grandchildren. He was buried at Baltimore's Loudon Park Cemetery.

Witness to Lincoln assassination
In 1954, at the age of 94, Seymour gave his account of the assassination to the journalist Frances Spatz Leighton. This was the first occasion on which he told his story in a public forum.

Seymour claimed that on April 14, 1865, when he was five years old, Sarah Cook, his nurse, along with his godmother Mrs. Goldsborough, who was the wife of his father's employer, took him to see Our American Cousin at Ford's Theater in Washington, D.C., where they sat in the balcony across the theater from the presidential box. He said he saw Lincoln come into the box, waving and smiling. Later, "All of a sudden a shot rang out... and someone in the President's box screamed. I saw Lincoln slumped forward in his seat." Seymour watched John Wilkes Booth jump from the box to the stage. He remembered that, not understanding what had happened to Lincoln, he was very concerned for Booth, who broke his leg, reputedly, in the jump.

In 2018, Ford's Theatre published an essay expressing skepticism about Seymour's witness account. The museum said it was "curious" that Seymour didn't publicly share his childhood memory until the age of 94. It also noted that there is no documented record proving that Seymour, Sarah Cook, or Mrs. Goldsborough was present at the theatre when Lincoln was shot.

I've Got a Secret appearance
Exactly nine weeks before his death, Seymour appeared on the February 9, 1956, broadcast of the CBS TV panel show I've Got a Secret. After arriving in New York City he suffered a fall, which left him with a noticeable swelling above his right eye. Host Garry Moore, after bringing Seymour on stage, explained the injury and that he and the show's producers had urged Seymour to forgo his appearance on the show; that Seymour's doctor had left the choice up to his patient; and that Seymour very much wanted to appear.

During the game, Seymour was first questioned by panelist Bill Cullen, who quickly surmised from Seymour's age that his secret was somehow connected with the American Civil War, and he then correctly guessed that it had political significance and involved a political figure. Jayne Meadows then guessed that the political figure was Lincoln, after a fellow contestant jokingly whispered "McKinley", and finally that Seymour had witnessed Lincoln's assassination. The rules of the show were that he would win $20 for each of the four panelists who failed to guess his secret. Since the secret was guessed by Meadows, the second of four panelists, he would normally have won only $20, but Moore decided to generously award the entire $80 jackpot to Seymour for his courage in appearing on the show. Also, because Seymour smoked a pipe rather than cigarettes, the show's sponsor, R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, gave him a can of Prince Albert pipe tobacco instead of the usual prize for the show's contestants - a carton of Winston cigarettes.

Talk:Type 206 submarine

Succeded by...
I don't think you can really say, the type 206 is succeded by the 209.

The Type 206(a) is succeded by the Type 212 in service of the Bundesmarine and by the Type 207 (Kobben) in designation, at HDW by the GAL in design and only in production (at HDW) by the type 209(/1200). Alureiter 21:45, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * There must be another way to put it, what I really want to do is somehow represent the family tree, from very first German submarine built in 1851 until todays Type 214. Perhaps you might know of a better way of putting it? --Jcw69 06:53, 10 October 2005 (UTC) For example...

 * Is this a textual representation of the graphic you can find on the HDW webpage, since the submarines build by Thyssen-Nordseewerke alone are left out (TR-1700 (Type 208?) and Ula (Type 210)?
 * Maybe we should just adopt the way aircraft articles are linked together, i.e. list some "related developement" submarines and the leading and trailing classes in the designation series, see e.g. the bottom of Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 Alureiter 13:12, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Because it refers to a different class of submarines I removed the following and added it to this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_212_submarine#Design: The low emission profile allowed the submarines in exercises to intrude even into well protected opposing forces such as carrier formations with their screen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deathmare (talk • contribs) 16:32, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * You are right concerning the article, but the photo was taken by U 24. So, the information is correct for both classes, but the one source is only good for U 212A. I will adjust the article. --KuK (talk) 14:54, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Title
I think the tittle should be uniform. The title of this article should be U-206 class submarine such as Kilo class submarine, Collins class submarine or Scorpene class submarine. Thank you for your consideration.Gsarwa (talk) 06:46, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Steve Levy (politician)

Steven A. Levy (pronounced LEE-vee; born August 25, 1959) is an American politician and lawyer who served as the seventh County Executive of Suffolk County, New York, elected on November 4, 2003. Originally a fiscally conservative Democrat, Levy joined the Republican Party in an unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination for governor.

Personal life
Steve Levy was born in Glendale, Queens. Along with his brother and sister, he was raised in Holbrook, New York by his father Andrew Levy, who owned a Brooklyn appliance store, and his mother, Marie Cavalcante Levy. His father was Jewish, descended from immigrants from Alsace-Lorraine, and his mother was Italian-American and Catholic (Levy was reared as a Catholic). He is a graduate of Sachem High School in Holbrook (1977), the State University of New York at Stony Brook (1981, magna cum laude) and St. John's University School of Law (1984). Levy married Colleen West on December 2, 1994, at St. Ann's Episcopal Church in Sayville, New York. They live in Bayport, New York with her children from a previous marriage.

Politics
In 1984, Levy was elected to the Suffolk County Legislature where he served for 15 years (1985–2000). In 2000, he was elected to the New York State Assembly, where he represented the 5th Assembly District from 2001 to 2003.

Levy, then a Democrat who identified as fiscally conservative, ran for the office of Suffolk County Executive in 2003, winning the election against Republican opponent Edward Romaine. Levy entered office in 2004. On November 6, 2007, he was overwhelmingly re-elected to a second term with cross-endorsement and receiving 96% of the vote.

As County Executive, Levy invested $15 million in affordable housing and infrastructure aid. Levy directed increased funding for solar energy projects, clean-fuel cars, and sewer construction. The county spent $42 million to double the sewer capacity for the Hauppauge industrial area, and $8 million in aid for sewer improvements and affordable housing for more than 500 new apartments. These investments sparked downtown revitalization in Patchogue.

Levy transformed Suffolk's long-dormant Gabreski Airport in Westhampton into a business park that is projected to create as many as 1,000 jobs. In addition, he helped resolve a land dispute that cleared the way for Canon's US headquarters to relocate its North American headquarters to Melville, creating over 2,000 new jobs for the county.

Under Levy’s tenure, Suffolk County experienced a double-digit decrease in murders, burglaries and other violent crimes, which Levy attributed to an increased police presence on the street.

The Levy Administration kept general fund taxes flat and lowered the county's share of the overall property tax bill from 13 percent to 10 percent. Throughout his tenure, Suffolk County’s bond rating rose seven times, to record levels.

Levy advocated for preserving open space to secure Suffolk’s clean drinking water. In support of Suffolk County’s tourism industry, he invested in conserving the county’s rustic nature and preserved over 70 of its farms.

Reflecting concerns of many residents in the county about rising numbers of undocumented immigrants, Levy has promoted policies to enforce immigration laws, including employer verification of worker status and restrictions on drivers’ licenses for undocumented immigrants.

2010 primary race for GOP New York Governor and 2011 campaign fundraising investigation
On March 19, 2010, Levy announced that he would switch political parties, seeking the Republican Party's nomination for New York Governor, competing with former New York Congressman Rick Lazio and Buffalo developer Carl Paladino for the party nomination. Though he changed his voter registration to the Republican Party, this change came after the deadline for making such a change. For legal purposes, Levy remained a Democrat until November 2010, with the registration change taking effect after Election Day.

Levy's platform focused on getting the state's financial house in order and reining in spending, while decreasing property taxes. He also called for the creation of an independent control board, much like the ones formed by the state for counties who are in financial crisis, to help address the state of New York's fiscal woes.

Despite the support of state Republican chairman Edward F. Cox, Levy failed to gain the necessary support at the New York State Republican Convention for a "Wilson Pakula," the document necessary for non-party members to seek a party's nomination. Authorizing such a document requires a majority weighted vote of the attending members of the party; Levy received 42 percent, which barred him from entering the Republican primary, either by nomination or by petition. As a result, Levy was eliminated from the race.

Johann Georg Grasel

Johann Georg Grasel (Jan Jiří Grasel; 4 April 1790 – 31 January 1818) was a Czech robber and murderer. His name is used in Czech as a common term for a rascal or villain (grázl) to this day.

Biography
Grasel was born in Nové Syrovice into the poor family of a knacker. Both his father and his mother helped themselves by stealing, occasionally ending up in prison. Young Johann was forced to steal to survive and at the age of 9 he entered prison for the first time (for 2 weeks). Grasel became leader of several groups of brutal robbers in south Moravia and northern Lower Austria. He managed to escape from prison several times. In 1815 he and his group of 66 were caught by the authorities. Grasel was accused of 205 crimes, including several murders and sentenced to death. Sixty thousand people watched when he and his two colleagues were hanged in Vienna; when Grasel saw the crowds, he uttered his last words: "Jesus, so many people".

Unlike many others of his kind Grasel entered folk legends, both as a noble hero who took from the rich to give to the poor and as a brutal rascal. The second interpretation made it into Czech and the word grázl (meaning "villain") is now commonly used, even without knowledge of its origin.

Popular culture
In the Czechoslovak TV series Slavné historky zbojnické (Famous bandit stories, 1985), Grasel is portrayed by Czech actor Ivan Vyskočil.

Phoebe Atwood Taylor

Phoebe Atwood Taylor (18 May 1909 – 9 January 1976) was an American writer of mystery novels, who was born and died in Boston. She graduated from Barnard College in 1930 and married surgeon Grantley Walder Taylor in December 1951.

Phoebe Atwood Taylor wrote mystery novels under her own name, and as Freeman Dana and Alice Tilton. Her first novel, The Cape Cod Mystery, introduced the "Codfish Sherlock", Asey Mayo, who became a series character appearing in 24 novels. Taylor's work was light in tone, a bit more serious than screwball comedy, but fun and easy to read. According to critic Dilys Winn, "Mrs. Taylor is the mystery equivalent to Buster Keaton." She borrowed heavily on her own background (being born in Boston, and very familiar with Cape Cod) to produce books full of local color. "As a whole the Asey Mayo books are a treasure trove of humor and local culture of the Cape in the 1930s and '40s." Taylor adopted the pseudonyms of Freeman Dana and Alice Tilton for her other books because her publisher did not want her known as a writer of potboilers. Like many who lived through the Great Depression, she was in constant need of money, and one of her letters to her publisher was printed in a recent edition of one of her books as an explanation of why she adopted the pen name of Alice Tilton for the popular Leonidas Witherall novel series.

Asey Mayo
Asey (a nickname for his given name, Asa) Mayo is a down-to-earth Cape Cod resident who has had numerous adventures around the world during his former sailing career, but now works as a kind of general assistant to the heir to "Porter Motors." He has an immense amount of knowledge of local geography and the doings of the inhabitants of Cape Cod, and uses his knowledge, his physical stamina, his very fast car and a great deal of intelligence to solve local murders at breakneck speed. His cousin Jennie Mayo, a repository of local gossip, plays a role in many of the novels, and her husband Syl often assists Asey. Jennie's charitable and civic activities in the community often provide the starting point for Asey's cases, but another constant theme is the interference of "folks from away" in local affairs.

The earliest Asey Mayo titles are rather dark, perhaps reflecting the Depression background. As the series went on, the tone lightened and approached the screwball towards the end of the series. All the books have a strong sense of the Cape Cod background, and many have a strong sense of time as well. In the novels written during World War II, for example, Mayo is hindered by fuel and rubber rationing, military maneuvers, Fifth column activity, civilian defense groups, blackouts and First Aid training.

Leonidas Witherall
Leonidas Witherall ("the man who looks like Shakespeare"), once an instructor at a private boys' school, has lost all of his money due to the Wall Street crash of 1929, and takes to anonymously writing books and, later, a radio show about the adventures of "Lieutenant Hazeltine" as a means of survival, while solving murders as a sideline. In the eight novels chronicling his adventures, Witherall is confronted with a corpse under unusual and maximally embarrassing circumstances that suggest his own guilt, requiring him to enlist a motley crew of assistants, use disguise and impersonation to escape discovery, and engage in at least one scavenger-hunt-like chase before solving the crime. Once in every novel, Witherall references the radio program's constant repetition of "Cannae"—an ancient battle from which Hazeltine draws inspiration so that his smaller force defeats his larger mass of enemies. This mention of Cannae means that Witherall is about to marshal his assistants as part of a clever scheme to deliver the murderer to justice. Hazeltine is also subject to the machinations of the "octopus of fate", by which an incredible coincidence is explained at least once in every Witherall novel. In 1944, the character was adapted into a Mutual radio mystery program, The Adventures of Leonidas Witherall.

Mystery critic Dilys Winn had this to say about the Witherall novels: "These books don't make all that much sense, but they go a long way in proving that making sense is immaterial – a guffaw is more vital. Tilton books are so busy, so complicated, so Marx Brothers ... that makes them sound as if they might have a plot, doesn't it?  Bad assumption.  They drift from incident to incident with the style of the crash 'em cars at a carnival." Mystery writer and critic H. R. F. Keating wrote, in an introduction to a 1987 reissue of the first Witherall novel, "If a writer can keep in play an interest in a crime of some sort, preferably indeed murder, and at the same time induce the reader to take the hither-and-thither balloon flight of farce, then the entertainment provided will be not doubled but tripled. But it is difficult.  I suspect that the only recipe for success is sheer deftness in writing, coupled perhaps with establishing a firm basis in fact before the hilarious fantasy is allowed to take off.  Both these elements Alice Tilton has at her disposal."

The Crime Club
Taylor's 'Alice Tilton' books were published in the United Kingdom in the Collins Crime Club series; most of the Asey Mayo stories were as well.

National Museum of Ghana

The National Museum of Ghana is in the Ghanaian capital, Accra. It is the largest and oldest of the six museums under the administration of the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board (GMMB).

The museum building was opened on 5 March 1957 as part of Ghana's independence celebrations. The official opening was performed by the Duchess of Kent, Princess Marina. The Museum's first Director was A.W. Lawrence.

Objects of archaeology, ethnography as well as fine art find place in the National Museum building.

Objects in the Archeology Section
Objects in the archeology section range from the Stone Age period to the recent historical past. Those on permanent exhibition at the ethnography gallery include chief's regalia, indigenous Ghanaian musical instruments, gold weights, beads, traditional textiles, stools and pottery. There are also objects from other African countries acquired through exchange. Examples are Senufo masks from Ivory Coast, Zulu wooden figures and bead-ware from Southern Africa. In addition there are also ancient Ife bronze heads from Nigeria and Bushongo carvings from the Congo. Exhibits at the small but impressive art gallery consist mainly of contemporary Ghanaian paintings executed in oils, pastels, acrylics, watercolours and collages. Apart from these there are sculpture pieces in different media.

Big Brother (TV series)
I stumbled upon this article back in May of 2005. It was the first article I read on Wikipedia, and happens to be one of the most informative and well written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FireSpike (talk • contribs) 21:39, October 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. Lacks a References section to cite the sources used by this article as required by criteria 2 of the featured article criteria. --Allen3 talk 23:28, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Object - I don't think it's informative or well written, and the lead paragraph is particularly weak. "While any pretences to be a cultural experiment are dubious" is an example of POV, but there are others. "On the other hand, other versions have involved plotting in the vein of the most cruel soap opera. Some versions have been filled with sex-crazed housemates ...." is not encycopedic.  The article itself is very short, and only appears long because of the lists.  Big Brother around the world - I'm not sure it's needed. I don't think it is.   Some pecularities needs to be absorbed into the main text.  As stated above - there are no references and that is absolutely mandatory. Rossrs 09:01, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth. I think naming the countries around the world that have broadcasted their own version of Big Brother is certainly encyclopedic and relevant to this article. How it should be included is up to debate. - 131.211.51.34 12:22, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Object - lacks an encyclopedic tone. See popular culture studies or try looking at material from this google scholar search. TreveXtalk 15:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Dan Bejar

Daniel Bejar (born October 4, 1972 ) is a Canadian singer and musician from Vancouver, British Columbia. He is the frontman of Destroyer, and was a member of indie rock band the New Pornographers.

Overview
In 2006, he joined with Carey Mercer of Frog Eyes and Spencer Krug of Sunset Rubdown and Wolf Parade as part of indie supergroup Swan Lake. He has also collaborated with his wife Sydney Hermant as the duo Hello, Blue Roses, whose debut album was released in 2008.

Personal life
Bejar was born in 1972 to a Spanish father and an American mother at Vancouver General Hospital. Bejar's father was a physicist who grew up in Spain during the Francoist dictatorship and his mother was a teacher who taught the Spanish language. His father died when he was 13 years old. Growing up, Bejar moved frequently and in adulthood has resided in Southern California, Canada and Spain. Bejar attended University of British Columbia for three years: "To my credit, I eventually dropped out; to my discredit, I waited three years to do it. I was taking mostly English and Philosophy classes, fooling myself into thinking I might be an academic."

Bejar has one daughter and lives in the Strathcona neighbourhood of Vancouver.

In the late 1990s, Bejar had an acting role in his future New Pornographers bandmate Blaine Thurier's microbudget film Low Self-Esteem Girl.

Bejar has occasionally been mistaken for American visual artist Daniel Bejar. In March 2010, an article in The New Yorker detailed the visual artist Bejar's project "The Googlegänger", which detailed his efforts to impersonate the singer of the same name, and the past confusion by the media between the two.

Frederick John Bahr

Frederick John Bahr (1837–1885) was a German inventor who purchased Lover's Leap on Wills Mountain, in Cumberland, Maryland, in 1860. He is best remembered for his paddle-wheel-powered blimps he attempted to fly in the mountains. The first blimp burned while he was trying to fill it, the second one was destroyed by his enemies and the third attempt resulted in the wind carrying it off. He died in 1885, and in 1899, the Wills Mountain Inn replaced the log cabin where he used to live. From a newspaper article dated 1899: "Some 20 years ago, however, a German named Frederick Baehr, a man of peculiar temperament and indefatigable energy, took up his abode in an old hut near the cliffs and worked for several years in clearing the ground and building a tramway by which he intended to take visitors to the top, and in making other improvements. He devised many plans by which he intended to make accessible to strangers what he considered one of nature's grandest pictures, but his limited means and eccentric habits prevented his success. In time he removed and the place reverted to its original conditions. The steep road became a gully, and few ventured up to the summit save lovers of nature, and now and then a strange mortal, who desired to find, within sight of the busy city, quiet, silence, death and a grave."

I honestly don't understand the need to add the article to a self-referencing category (CJOH). If someone could kindly explain it to me instead of making cryptic comments like "Understanding is a three-edged sword", it would be much appreciated. I really do assume good faith; I just don't understand why this is needed. How about an explanation instead of a revert war, hmm?

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material
Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

 * 1) WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
 * 2) As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
 * 3) WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
 * 4) Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 05:15, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Tim Kinsella

Tim Kinsella is an American musician, author, and film director from Chicago, Illinois.

Known for his eccentric singing voice, he first rose to prominence as lead singer and lyricist of the emo band Cap'n Jazz which he co-founded with his brother Mike in 1989. Following its dissolution in 1995, he formed Joan of Arc the same year and served as its lead singer, primary songwriter, and only continuous member until their breakup in 2020.

In 2001, Kinsella participated in Owls which included all members of Cap'n Jazz except for guitarist Davey von Bohlen.

From 2003 to 2008, Kinsella also founded and toured with Make Believe which included his cousin Nate and former Cap'n Jazz member Sam Zurick alongside bassist Bobby Burg.

He has also released early solo material under the alias Tim Kinsella(s) in addition to participating Friend/Enemy and Everyoned.

Kinsella is the writer-director of the feature film Orchard Vale, which opened at the Chicago Underground Film Festival on August 15, 2007. His first novel, entitled The Karaoke Singer's Guide to Self-Defense, was published by Featherproof Books in September 2011. His second book, Let Go and Go On and On (Curbside Splendor Publishing), takes its inspiration from the late actress Laurie Bird's brief film career in the '70s, and was published in April 2014.

He currently performs, tours, and writes music with his wife Jenny Pulse under the name "Tim Kinsella & Jenny Pulse."

Career
Tim Kinsella got his start musically around 1989 when he, his brother, Mike Kinsella, met Sam Zurick, and Victor Villarreal to form Cap'n Jazz. They were all in school at the time, and it took them a while to get serious about playing music. After going through several name changes, and adding guitarist Davey von Bohlen, the group decided to make music seriously, ultimately garnering a cult following, and fame in the independent music scene of Chicago and the midwest. Kinsella directed the film Orchard Vale, which was released on DVD through I Had an Accident Records in April 2009.

Cap'n Jazz: 1989–1995; 2010; 2017
Following the release of Cap'n Jazz's first and only album, Burritos, Inspiration Point, Fork Balloon Sports, Cards In The Spokes, Automatic Biographies, Kites, Kung Fu, Trophies, Banana Peels We've Slipped On and Egg Shells We've Tippy Toed Over (also known as Shmap'n Shmazz), and their last show on July 14, 1995, they disbanded, and member Davey von Bohlen left Chicago to focus on his side project The Promise Ring. Three years after the breakup, in 1998, Jade Tree Records put out a double disc compilation, called Analphabetapolothology, which included all the songs from Shmap'n Shmazz, as well as songs from various 7", singles, demos and outtakes. Victor Villareal went home, and after a year of playing music independently, Tim, Mike, and Sam recruited Erik Bocek and Jeremy Boyle for what would eventually be called Joan of Arc. On January 22, 2010, Cap'n Jazz played their first reunion show since the split in 1995 at the Empty Bottle in their hometown of Chicago. They have performed various other shows since and played their final show on November 8, 2017, at the Electric Ballroom.

Joan of Arc
After the demise of Cap'n Jazz, Kinsella began writing new material with keyboardist Jeremy Boyle. At this point, he was learning a new instrument (the guitar), and his songwriting began to take an abstract/experimental turn. Simultaneously, Sam Zurick was learning the drums, and playing in a band with Erik Bocek (a high school friend and former Cap'n Jazz roadie). The two were joined, and after the addition of Mike Kinsella, Red Blue Yellow was born.

After difficulties, and a breakup after their first show, they threw away all of their old material, and started afresh, with a new name, and new songs. Three months later, Joan of Arc had their first show at Autonomous Zone in Chicago. After two promising 7" singles the band recorded their debut album A Portable Model of... for Jade Tree. The album introduced JOA's signature sound - a fondness for stark acoustic songs then altered with subtle electronics.

The 2017 Noisey documentary Your War (I'm One of You): 20 Years of Joan of Arc focuses heavily on Kinsella's biography and personal experiences.

Owls
Owls is an indie rock band from Chicago, Illinois. The band was formed by the original lineup of seminal experimental indie rock band Cap'n Jazz soon after its second breakup (the first came in 1994); Cap'n Jazz guitarist Davey Von Bohlen, who played in the band's second incarnation, had gone on to found, and was now playing in The Promise Ring. The band's lineup consisted of brothers Tim Kinsella and Mike Kinsella (on vocals and drums, respectively), along with guitarist Victor Villareal and bassist Sam Zurick. Tim Kinsella and Zurick have also played together in Joan of Arc and Make Believe, and Villareal and Zurick have played together in the instrumental-rock Ghosts and Vodka.

The band released an album, Owls, in 2001. Unfortunately, the band dissolved after one tour. Rumours circulated that this was largely due to the complications arising from guitarist Victor Villareal's heroin dependency. When Mike Kinsella left to continue his solo project Owen and to play guitar for Maritime, he was replaced for a few live shows by Ryan Rapsys.

The band did eventually get back together in 2012, and went on to tour and release a new album in 2014.

Friend/Enemy
Friend/Enemy was formed in 2001 as the next in a series of projects fronted by Kinsella. The band's core members include Kinsella, Todd Mattei (also of Joan of Arc), and Jim Becker (Califone). Friend/Enemy can best be described as a loose folk-punk somewhere between T.V. Smith and Captain Beefheart. Kinsella's trademark postmodern beat poet routine takes a sharper, more adult turn and Becker adds a host of incidental noises including banjo, pedal steel, and percussion. The first release, 10 Songs, was recorded at the Slabb in Chicago and had a handful of the city's musical intelligentsia adding sounds. These included vocals by Caryn Culp (Plastic Crime Wave), keyboards by Andy Lansagan (the 90 Day Men), bass by Nick Macri (Euphone, Sunny Day Real Estate), piano by Azita Youssefi (Bride of No No), drums by Zach Hill (Hella), and bass by Sam Zurick (Joan of Arc, Owls).

Everyoned
Kinsella has participated in Everyoned, a supergroup which also includes members from Pigface, TV Pow, Joan of Arc, Town & Country, Revolting Cocks, and Central Falls.

Make Believe
Make Believe is 2003's touring version of Joan of Arc, consisting of singer Tim Kinsella, guitarist Sam Zurick, bassist Bobby Burg, and drummer Nate Kinsella. After 3 months of touring solidified their playing together, they returned home and decided to follow this impulse and write new songs with a more aggressive approach. But they all knew it had to be something different than Joan of Arc. For it to be represented as a true collaboration and reflect its totally different approach to songwriting and speak for itself it had to shake whatever connotations the band name Joan of Arc had acquired. Their first full-length Shock of Being was released on October 4, 2005. In June 2007 Kinsella left the band to focus on other projects and married life. However, months after his departure from the band, Kinsella rejoined his bandmates and recorded their third album in fall 2007. On February 22, 2008, the band played their first show since Kinsella's departure at Chicago's Subterranean. The third full-length Goin' to the Bone Church was released on April 29, 2008.

Collaborations
Tim has also worked on numerous collaborations. One example of these collaborations would include 2014's "Tim Kinsella sings the songs of Marvin Tate by LeRoy Bach featuring Angel Olsen." Kinsella worked with an array of Chicago heavyweights including the prolific poet Marvin Tate, multi-instrumentalist (& former Wilco member) LeRoy Bach and singer-songwriter Angel Olsen for "almost two years" to record the eponymously titled LP, released by Joyful Noise Recordings. Kinsella is the album's narrator, walking the line between judgment and sympathy, and shepherding all of the characters through their various struggles. Themes of race, private culture, and psychological stress rise throughout the work. Eventually the consensus was made that some of the stories could be enhanced by an additional singer. The trio enlisted their friend Angel Olsen Jagjaguwar Records. The release is limited to just 1000 copies on splatter vinyl.

Tim contributed his guitar work to the A Set CD "The Science of Living Things" released on the now defunct label Tree Records.

In 2013, Joan of Arc worked with the Chicago experimental theater-ensemble Every House Has a Door, to produce a dramatization of Charles Reznikoff's Testimony.

Joan of Arc presents Don't Mind Control, collects the work of 41 of the group's musical collaborators.

Tim Kinsella(s)
After the release of the Gap, Tim started to do some solo work for Troubleman Unlimited, and decided that this new era should coincide with a name change. He released 4 works under Tim Kinsellas for various labels. Tim had a falling out with the head of Troubleman Unlimited over royalties and currently the two are not speaking even though Tim admits his error on the issue. Tim's solo release entitled "Crucifix/Swastika" was written while he was on his honeymoon. Field Recordings of Dreams was recorded late at night.

Other solo work has appeared on Joyful Noise Recordings, where Kinsella was artist in residence in 2015. His residency boxed-set included: Issues EP, Firecracker in a Box of Mirrors LP, Joan of Arc's Greatest Hits 7", JOA 99 LP, Hunky Dory TK, and the book All Over and Over.

Hunky Dory TK was an electronic collage composed entirely of samples from David Bowie's classic, orchestral pop album, Hunky Dory, performed as part of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago's 2015 exhibition "David Bowie Is".

Personal life
Kinsella has worked as a bartender at the Rainbo Club in Chicago's Ukrainian Village neighborhood for most of his adult life. His brother Mike Kinsella refers to his bartending in the song "Breaking Away" on Owen's (The EP) (2004).

Like Someone in Love is a 1957 studio album by the American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald, with a studio orchestra arranged and conducted by Frank DeVol. This album represents a fine example of Ella's singing from this period, recorded at the same time as her albums with Louis Armstrong.

History
The album was also recorded in the midst of her epic 'Songbooks' project, celebrating the composers of the 'Great American Songbook' and Broadway. The album features only four songs written by the composers featured in her 'Songbooks', instead concentrating on very famous ballads by lesser known writers. Some songs on the album were also recorded with Armstrong on the albums that they collaborated on from this period. Stan Getz is featured on tenor sax on four tracks, including "Midnight Sun" and "You're Blasé". Ted Nash plays the alto sax and solos. The cover photos are by Phil Stern.

Reception
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Scott Yanow wrote of the album "Most of the songs are veteran standards... her voice was so strong and appealing during this era that all of her recordings from the mid- to late '50s are enjoyable and easily recommended".

Perl Object-Oriented Persistence

Perl Object-Oriented Persistence (POOP) is the term given to refer to object-relational mapping mechanisms written in the Perl programming language to provide object persistence. Dave Rolsky divides POOP mechanisms into two categories:

 * RDBMS-OO Mappers: These tools attempt to map RDBMS data structures (tables, columns, rows) onto Perl objects.
 * OO-Persistence Tools: These tools attempt to map Perl objects into an arbitrary format, often an RDBMS.

Juniper Ridge

Juniper Ridge is a community located in the city of Kamloops, British Columbia. It is situated at the south-east end of the city on a hillside south of the South Thompson River. There is a convenience store at the entrance to the community, and the area is serviced by an elementary school. It is accessible only by one road, Highland Rd.: however, a formerly washed out dirt road has been refilled allowing emergency access to the Rose Hill area. Most of the streets in this neighbourhood are named after rivers in the province, such as: Skeena, Nechako, Omineca, Babine, Coldwater, etc. Tennis courts, an ice rink with bright lighting, and a dog park are located at the local community centre, Juniper Park.

The Cordonier Ranch
Prior to 1971, the 1050 acre Cordonier ranch, which occupied the lands now known as Juniper Ridge, was used as for the grazing of sheep during the spring on their passage from the Kamloops area to Crowfoot mountain in the Shuswap. A highway accident involving a loaded semi trailer and sheep along the highway resulted in restriction being put in place that banned the transfer of sheep along the highway. As such, sheep were prevented from returning to the area now known as Juniper Ridge and this area of the Cordonier ranch went unused, providing insufficient income to both owner and government.

The Hesperia Development
The beginnings of the housing development now known as Juniper Ridge was originally known as The Hesperia Development Project, with the land being owned by Hesperia Development Limited. The beginning of project in particular was initiated by Brentwood Estates Limited in late 1970. The Municipality of Valleyview (now a community within the municipality of Kamloops) accepted a report detailing the proposed community as submitted on August 4, 1971. Shortly after the approval of this preliminary report, Hesperia Development Limited filed an application with the Town of Valleyview to be included within the town's limits. This was eventually done in March 1972.

The Juniper Lands Project
On December 10, 1971, The Hesperia Development Project was sold to Juniper Lands Ltd based out of Vancouver, BC. Juniper Lands LTD was owned jointly by Hesperia and Tierra Properties. Subsequently Tierra Properties was appointed manager of the project. At this same time, the name of the project was changed to The Juniper Lands Project. The plan for the development of this land was submitted to the Municipality of Valleyview by Mr. Lawrence J. Rogers, the President of Juniper Lands and Tierra Properties and Mr Alfredo J. Luz of Townley Matheson and Partners on August 4, 1971. At this time, Juniper Lands owned all portions of what is now known as Juniper Ridge with the exception of small parcels along Highland Drive, which, in 1972 provided access solely to Valleyview park.

Housing Shortages
One of the goals of the project was to provide housing in the Kamloops region which, at the time, was experiencing a housing shortage after an increase in government assistance in home purchases. In addition, all flat lands along the South Thompson River and western banks of the North Thompson had been fully developed at this time. In the original proposal, it was suggested that this community would serve as an example of a self-sufficient satellite community which would be less reliant upon the services provided within the city of Kamloops. This self-reliance, however, has to date not been fully achieved.

The Development Program
Given that the area was totally undeveloped, the site needed complete survey and engineering, provision of roads, water, sewer, storm drainage, electricity and telephone facilities. As well, housing construction was to be completed in 7 phases which closely parallels the community as it exists today. Land was also set aside for the development of both elementary and high schools. The elementary school was built and sustained classes up to grade 4 until 1993 when the school was expanded to include classes up to grade 7. To date, no high school has been built, and all Juniper Ridge Elementary students take their subsequent high school education at Valleyview Senior Secondary. Land was also set aside for the establishment of hospitals, churches, green areas and commercial zones.

The Juniper Ridge Community Association (JRCA)
The JRCA was formed in 1983 and formed to provide a "convenient and effective method of informing and organizing fellow residents to address issues and to host community events". Its current president is Gillian Stephenson.

Residential Sections of Juniper Ridge
While Juniper Ridge is classified as one subdivision in Kamloops, common areas of the subdivision are categorized based on the name of the development and age of the homes. For example, residents will call newer homes in the West end of Juniper, "Juniper West". Similarly, residents call the newer development in the East "The Benchlands".

The result of the debate was Keep -- (drini's page| ☎ ) 21:07, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Caffeinism
This page barely survived a VfD on no concensus, and now that the articles overly protective author (who spammed the entire wiki with his website) no longer seems to be editing, I'm listing it again

The article is neologistic, and uses a term not used outside the Wikipedia for the use it pertains to be (it is used for caffeine addiction but not poisoning). The article was originally written to promote a website, which is no longer linked from that page. Kiand 21:56, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the caffeine addiction page. Jtmichcock 23:13, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You mean the section of the main Caffeine article I have behind that piped redirect? Caffeine addiction links the article this AfD is on, oddly enough - going to re-redirect it, as its the wrong content. --Kiand 23:20, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * keep I disagree; "caffeinism" appears in the American Heritage Dictionary as the toxic condition. Maybe there is some merging to be done, but this is a decent and sourced article with no violation of the deletion policy. —  brighterorange  (talk) 23:56, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Brighteroerange. Good article with verifiable references on notable condition. Capitalistroadster 01:05, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Brighterorange. The term also shows up in Medline in at least six article titles, and the summaries of at least three of those seem to be referring to a toxic condition. (e.g. people with paranoid delusions, cardiac arrhythmia, etc. Crypticfirefly 05:03, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This article has problems and should never have survived the original VFD. First, it's weasely: "Caffeinism has been defined as the poisoning resulting from excessive intake of caffeine".  Yeah, OK, who defines it that way?  Second, this section is a red herring: "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) states: "The 4 caffeine-induced psychiatric disorders include caffeine intoxication, caffeine-induced anxiety disorder, caffeine-induced sleep disorder, and caffeine-related disorder not otherwise specified (NOS)." Notice that DSM-IV doesn't ever use the term caffeinism.  Third, the single online reference given never uses the term caffeinism either. It's not wikipedia's job to push neologistic original research. Quale 06:37, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as it seems to be real and used outside Wikipedia and its mirrors, even if it isn't widely used by medical professionals. Cleanup if necessary. -- Kjkolb 08:33, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The term is used. But for something -completely different-. Which is something nobody on this or the previous VfD seemed to notice. Its not used for what this article claims it is, this article is utterly neologistic. --Kiand 09:08, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * If someone could point me to one of these "other uses", I'll rewrite the article around it. --Carnildo 19:34, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The only time this term is ever used is in a neologistic sense for caffeine addiction, not what the article content implies. It should not be rewritten, possibly redirected to the same section of caffeine as caffeine addiction currently is - or have that spun off into a seperate article, rather than leaving a trail of pseudoscience behind it. --Kiand 19:46, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep what a stupid nomination, strong keep. --Mateusc 00:54, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah --Mateusc 17:13, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't see your name there. I also see a VfD full of barracking from the articles author, and a bare no-concensus result, based on the fact that a new meaning for a pre-existing word was invented by the article, and with many keep voters having done nothing more than a Google Test without actually examining the results. --Kiand 17:19, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Ben Cross

Harry Bernard Cross (16 December 1947 – 18 August 2020) was an English stage and film actor. He was best known for his portrayal of the British Olympic athlete Harold Abrahams in the 1981 film Chariots of Fire and for playing Billy Flynn in the original West End production of the musical Chicago.

Early life
Harry Bernard Cross was born in London on 16 December 1947, to a working-class family. He was the son of Catherine (née O'Donovan), a cleaner, and Harry Cross, a doorman. His father died of tuberculosis when Cross was aged eight. While his father was a member of the Church of England, Cross grew up in his Irish mother's Catholic faith, in the Tulse Hill neighbourhood of London.

Early career
Cross started his career by taking manual jobs, including working as a window cleaner, waiter, and joiner. He also worked as a carpenter for the Welsh National Opera, and was the Property Master at The Alexandra theatre in Birmingham.

In 1970 at the age of 22, he was accepted into London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), but later expressed little interest in pursuing the classical arts route.

After graduating from RADA, Cross performed in several stage plays at The Dukes theatre in Lancaster where he was seen in Macbeth, The Importance of Being Earnest and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. He then joined the Prospect Theatre Company and played roles in Pericles, Twelfth Night, and The Royal Hunt of the Sun. Cross also joined the cast of the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and played leading roles in Peter Shaffer's Equus, Mind Your Head, and the musical Irma la Douce — all at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre.

Cross's first big-screen film appearance came in 1976 when he went on location to Deventer, Netherlands, to play Trooper Binns in Joseph E. Levine's Second World War epic A Bridge Too Far, which starred an international cast, including Dirk Bogarde, Sean Connery, Michael Caine and James Caan.

In 1977, Cross became a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company; he performed in the premiere of Privates on Parade as "Kevin Cartwright" and played Rover in a revival of a Restoration play titled Wild Oats. Cross's path to international stardom began in 1978 with his performance in the musical Chicago, in which he played Billy Flynn, the slick lawyer of murderess Roxie Hart.

1980s–1990s
During Cross's performance in Chicago he was recognised and recommended for a leading role in the multiple Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire in 1981. The film was based on the true story of two athletes in the 1924 Olympics: Eric Liddell, a devout Scottish Christian, and Harold Abrahams, an English Jew who runs to overcome prejudice. Cross trained hard for his role as Abrahams; his co-star Ian Charleson played Liddell. The pair were shown in the opening scene running barefoot with a group of others along a Scottish beach, accompanied by Vangelis's music. Considered "one of the most memorable opening scenes in film history", Cross acknowledged the scene's effectiveness but remembered the water was freezing. For their performances in the film, Cross and Charleson both won "Most Promising Artiste of 1981" awards from the Variety Club Awards in February 1982. Cross's starring role in Chariots of Fire has been credited with continuing a transatlantic trend in elegant young English actors that had been set by Jeremy Irons in Brideshead Revisited. The film went on to win multiple Academy Awards, including the one for Best Picture.

Cross followed up Chariots of Fire with performances as a Scottish physician, Dr Andrew Manson, struggling with the politics of the British medical system during the 1920s, in The Citadel, a 10-part BBC Television dramatisation of A. J. Cronin's novel, and as Ashton (Ash) Pelham-Martyn, a British cavalry officer torn between two cultures in the HBO/Goldcrest miniseries The Far Pavilions first broadcast in the UK by Channel 4.

In 1982, the U.S. union Actors' Equity, in a landmark reversal of a previous ruling, allowed Cross to appear in John Guare's off-Broadway play Lydie Breeze. The decision was tied to a joint effort by Actors' Equity, the League of New York Theatres and the British union Equity to allow British and U.S. actors unrestricted opportunities to work in both countries. The agreement eventually led to regular equal exchange agreements for equivalent acting jobs between London and New York City.

During the 1984 Summer Olympic Games, Cross appeared in a commercial for American Express ('Don't leave home without it') with the 87-year-old Jackson Scholz, a sprinter for the 1924 American Olympic team whose character was featured in the film Chariots of Fire. When Cross talks about beating Scholz, the latter remarks, "You didn't beat me!" with mock indignation. Proving he is 'still pretty fast', Scholz beats Cross to the draw in picking up the tab with his credit card.

He subsequently replaced James Garner as the featured actor endorsing the Polaroid Spectra camera in 1986. Cross was also featured in GQ Magazine as one of the annual "Manstyle" winners in January 1985 followed by a featured photo shoot in March 1985.

In 1985, he played Barney Greenwald in a revival of Herman Wouk's courtroom drama The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial at the Queen's Theatre, London, alongside castmates Charlton Heston (as Captain Queeg) and John Schuck.

In a 1985 interview, the actor admitted he preferred American roles because of their emotionalism, saying of English acting: "Over here, people hide behind mannerism and technique and don't come up with any soul. American actors are much freer with the emotions. It's pretty hard in Europe not to have experience of Americans because we're exposed to a lot of American product." Cross also said that he was sympathetic to the American dream of success: "I am ambitious. There's no point of being ashamed of the fact that one has ambitions. Despite what a lot of people think in our profession, you can have ambitions and still turn in good work and still earn a living. There's no clash there." Cross expressed the hope that his reputation would "span the Atlantic," and that those in the industry would not ignore him because he did not live in Los Angeles or New York City. "A prospective director would have to convince me that I could bring something new, fresh and exciting to a classical part that hundreds of other people have played," he said.

During this time, Cross' career included several roles in made-for-television productions, as well as the stage. In the 1988 HBO spy film Steal the Sky he played Munir Redfa, an Iraqi pilot blackmailed into flying a MiG aircraft from Iraq to Israel. In Ian Sharp's 1989 NBC-TV miniseries Twist of Fate, he played German Nazi SS colonel and war criminal Helmut von Schraeder, who has his face and voice surgically changed to pose as a Jew in a concentration camp to avoid both Hitler's retaliation for his role in the failed 20 July plot against him and war's end capture and post-war war crimes trial and punishment by the approaching Allies, then after his liberation at the war's end by the title's name becomes a Zionist and one of Israel's early founders and leading military generals. He twice portrayed a vampire, first in the 1989 USA Network film Nightlife, then again as Barnabas Collins in the 1991 MGM miniseries remake of the cult classic TV soap opera Dark Shadows. Cross also appeared as Sir Harold Pearson in the 1994 Italian production Caro Dolce Amore (Honey Sweet Love), Solomon in the 1997 Trimark Pictures production Solomon and Captain Nemo in the 1997 CBS film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

2000–2020
Cross played Ikey Solomon in the Australian production The Potato Factory in 2000. In 2005, Cross, an anti-death penalty campaigner, starred as a death-row prisoner in Bruce Graham's play Coyote on a Fence, at the Duchess Theatre. He played Rudolf Hess in the 2006 BBC production Nuremberg: Nazis on Trial.

In November 2007, Cross was cast in the role of Sarek in the 2009 Star Trek film directed and produced by J. J. Abrams. Cross spoke to Star Trek magazine following the film's release, saying: "My agent put me forward for Star Trek, and he sent a couple of films to J.J. I'm sure he was too busy to watch the whole of Species, but when we were on the set, he mentioned to me that there was one particular shot in it where I turned to the camera, and in that moment, it came to him how perfect it would be for me to play Sarek."

In order to prepare for the role, Cross drew on his experience as a parent as well as Sarek's previous on-screen appearances. Having been present when his daughter was born, he was able to "call on all sorts of things" in the scene where Amanda has baby Spock, a scene which did not make it into the theatrical cut of the film. While he found the emotionless trait of a Vulcan a challenge to play, he found the father/son relationship between Sarek and Spock easier to play. According to Cross: "As Sarek, I had to be true to the Vulcan cultural ethic, which in the beginning, I found very difficult. I got a lot of help with that from J.J. Dealing with the adult Spock (played by Zachary Quinto) was a much more mature relationship, and I found the father/son aspect one of the easier things to play."

In 2012, Cross was cast as Rabbit, the main antagonist on the Cinemax original series Banshee. Rabbit is "a ruthless Ukrainian gangster who has been hunting down two of his former top thieves for 15 years." After 2012, Cross acted in various minor films but also acted in The Hurricane Heist, which earned a box office of US$32.5 million. In 2019, he starred with Whoopi Goldberg in the film Master of Dark Shadows, which earned a rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, his second film to receive such a rating, the other one being Paperhouse.

Directing, screenwriting, and music
Cross was also a director, writer, and musician. He wrote music, screenplays, and articles for English-language publications, and the lyrics for an album with Bulgarian singer Vasil Petrov, which was released in late 2007. He sang two Frank Sinatra songs with Petrov in the Apollonia Festival at the Black Sea in September 2007.

Among his works was the musical Rage about Ruth Ellis, which was performed in the London area. He starred in it and played the part of the hangman.

Cross's first single as a lyricist was released by Polydor Records in the late 1970s and was titled "Mickey Moonshine". The nom de guerre for the performance had occurred to Cross when he recalled an earlier involvement with the music industry as a session singer for Decca Records between 1972 and 1974. At this time, he recorded a song called "Name it, You Got it", which achieved some play on the British Northern soul scene. His other musical works include The Best We've Ever Had and Nearly Midnight, both written by Cross and directed by his son Theo.

The original soundtrack for Nearly Midnight was written, produced and performed by his daughter Lauren. These works were performed in Edinburgh in 2002 and 2003, respectively. Square One, directed by Cross, was performed at the Etcetera Theatre in London in 2004.

Personal life
From 1977 to 1992, Cross was married to model Penelope Butler and had two children, Lauren and Theo. He was later married to gyrotonics trainer Michele Moerth, from 1996 to 2005. Both these marriages ended in divorce. In 2018, he married the Bulgarian artist Deyana Boneva, to whom he remained married until his death. In his later years, he lived primarily in Vienna, Austria.

Cross was an active Freemason for the final 10 years of his life. Initiated in 2010 in the Shakespear Lodge (London), he attended lodge meetings in the United Kingdom and across Europe, eventually serving as a Grand Steward in the United Grand Lodge of England from 2017 to 2018. In this capacity he took part in the ceremonial tercentenary event at the Royal Albert Hall on 31 October 2017, celebrating three hundred years since the formation of the first English Grand Lodge, in which a dramatic presentation starred various actors, led by Sir Derek Jacobi, Samantha Bond, and Sanjeev Bhaskar.

Death
Cross died of cancer in Vienna on 18 August 2020, aged 72. He had recently finished two films, Prey for the Devil and The Last Letter from Your Lover, which were released posthumously.

Jörgen Jörgensen
I'm not sure why you redirected this article to an article about a totally different person, particularly given your edit summary that correctly points out the proper avenue for deletion. Let me know if I'm missing something.Erechtheus 20:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I forgot to sign in. I'm the user Introgressive and I changed that page.

Jörgen Jörgensen is a man that ruled Iceland for a short period of time during the Napoleon wars. When I entered his name in the search bar, I found simply a blank page instead of the article I was looking for. That was because ö and ø are two letters which both stand for the same sound, and since Jörgen was Danish, his name is usually spelled with the Danish letter ø.

Therefore, I redirected the page to his name, since the article about the other Jörgen had been blanked, and there should be no empty pages on Wikipedia. I have no knowledge of why the other article had been blanked and, like you said, it should be voted upon the deletion first.

To conclude, I have no objection to make if anyone wants the article to be properly deleted first, but since I have no knowledge nor understanding of neither the subject itself nor the reason for its articles deletion, I could hardly revert the page myself to its original form nor ask for a deletion.

On a different subject, isn't it amazing how much can be written about nothing? Introgressive 21:04, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the reply. As you can see, I have restored a stub version of the prior article and proposed its deletion. I don't think this will be controversial, but we'll move to WP:AFD if it is. Once the page is deleted, it seems perfectly appropriate for you to create the redirect because both the blanking author and you agree that the two different modified O characters are synonomous.
