Lee Martin (footballer, born 1987)

Lee Robert Martin (born 9 February 1987) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger, second striker, or attacking midfielder for Ashford United.

Manchester United
Martin began his career as a trainee with Wimbledon, where he caught the eye of many Premier League teams. Pursued by a number of other top clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, he signed for Manchester United on 17 December 2003, following a week-long trial in October 2003, during which time he made one appearance for the Manchester United Under-19s team. The compensation package United paid Wimbledon is estimated to be approximately £1 million, with £200k being paid up front, and the rest in instalments based on both his and Manchester United's performance.

Over the remainder of the 2003–04 season, Martin made seven more appearances for United's various youth teams, and was even named as an unused substitute for the Reserves in January 2004. The following season, Martin began as a regular in the Under-18s, but he was soon promoted to the Reserve team, where he began to flourish, scoring goals as well as setting them up, including a hat-trick in one game against Bolton Wanderers Reserves. The 2005–06 season was even more auspicious for Martin; after being named on the bench for two UEFA Champions League group games, he finally made his first team debut in the League Cup against Barnet on 26 October 2005. He was substituted after 75 minutes, allowing Darron Gibson to make his own first team debut, but he was a constant threat to the Barnet goal.

Royal Antwerp (loan)
In January 2006, Martin joined United's feeder club, Belgian Second Division side Royal Antwerp in a loan deal until May 2006, to gain regular first team experience. During that short spell, he earned the Royal Antwerp Fans' Player of the Year award, and earned the fan-chosen Man of the Match award in five consecutive games. In the run-up to the 2006–07 season, Martin played in six of United's seven friendlies following their summer tour of South Africa. Their match against Celtic attracted the attention of Celtic's Glasgow rivals, Rangers, who sought to take him on loan for the first half of the season.

Rangers (loan)
Seen as not quite ready for the Premier League, Martin joined the Scottish club with a view to an extension of the loan to the end of the season. After a succession of injuries he failed to establish himself and returned to Manchester United in December 2006, having made just 10 appearances.

Stoke City (loan)
On 25 January 2007, he was farmed out on loan again, this time to Stoke City. He scored his first senior goal in Stoke's 2–1 win against Southampton on 10 March 2007; it was his only goal in his 14 appearances for the club.

Return to United
Martin returned to United for the 2007–08 season, and toured the Far East with the club in July 2007. He played in two of the four matches, and scored a spectacular goal against Chinese side Guangzhou Pharmaceutical on 27 July 2007, before being replaced by Patrice Evra. He was again named as an unused substitute for the Community Shield against Chelsea on 5 August 2007. Had he played in the game, it would have been his third game in as many days, having played a total of 149 minutes over the previous two games.

On 26 September 2007, Martin started the League Cup Third Round match against Coventry City, but, with United 1–0 down at half-time, he was substituted, Fraizer Campbell his replacement. However, United conceded again and were knocked out of the cup.

Plymouth Argyle (loan)
On 5 October 2007, he joined Championship side Plymouth Argyle on a three-month loan deal, with Plymouth beating three other Championship clubs to his signature. He scored his first Argyle goal in the 1–0 victory over Coventry City on 20 October 2007.

Martin discussed an extension to his loan with Sir Alex Ferguson on 2 January, but it was decided that Martin would return to Manchester United at the end of the spell on 5 January.

Sheffield United (loan)
However, on 10 January 2008, Sheffield United announced that they had managed to capture Martin on loan until the end of the season. Martin made his debut for the Blades in a 2–0 away defeat to local rivals Sheffield Wednesday but his loan spell was marred by a recurring knee injury and he returned to Old Trafford having only played nine games in total for the Blades.

In Manchester United's 2008 pre-season tour of South Arica, Martin scored United's winner against Orlando Pirates in their 1–0 win in the Vodacom Challenge.

Nottingham Forest (loan)
On 13 August 2008, Martin joined Nottingham Forest on a one-month loan. That evening, he made his first appearance for Forest in their League Cup clash against Morecambe. Forest won the match 4–0, but Martin was booked in the first half. Martin scored his first competitive goal for Forest on 23 August 2008, scoring the opening goal in a 3–2 win over Watford at the City Ground. On 29 August 2008, Nottingham Forest announced an extension of the loan deal until 31 December 2008.

Latter days at United
Upon returning from his loan, Martin was increasingly used by Ole Gunnar Solskjær in the Manchester United Reserve team as an attacking midfielder and makeshift striker, scoring five goals in the latter half of the season. He was also named as a substitute for the first team's home match against Aston Villa on 5 April 2009, but did not take to the field.

Martin made his first league start for Manchester United in the final match of the 2008–09 Premier League season at Hull City, as United rested key players for the Champions League Final.

Ipswich Town
Martin joined Ipswich Town on 6 July 2009 for an undisclosed fee thought to be around £1.5 million, signing a four-year contract with the club managed by former Manchester United captain Roy Keane. He made his debut for Ipswich in a friendly against Brentford on 15 July 2009, scoring a goal within eight minutes; Ipswich went on to win the game 3–1. His first competitive start for Ipswich came on 9 August 2009, in a Championship game with Coventry Martin scored his first competitive goal for Ipswich in a 3–3 draw away to Doncaster – it was his 8th appearance for the club. Martin was one of eight players made available for transfer by manager Roy Keane at the end of the 2009–10 season.

Charlton Athletic (loan)
On 6 August 2010, Martin joined League One club Charlton Athletic for the duration of the 2010–11 season. He scored his first goal for the club in a League Cup match against Shrewsbury Town on 10 August 2010. He scored his only two league goals for Charlton in a 5–1 victory against Peterborough United at London Road. He was recalled by Ipswich on 18 January 2011.

Ipswich Town return
With Paul Jewell being appointed manager, he recalled Martin back from loan. Martin scored his second goal for the club on 6 August 2011 in the season's opening game at Bristol City. Martin has been a regular player under Paul Jewell and has made 26 appearances, scoring five goals. He was released by Mick McCarthy at the end of the 2012–13 season.

Millwall
On 4 July 2013, Martin joined Championship club Millwall on a one-year contract. He signed a two-year extension on 17 June 2014. In January 2016 Martin went out on loan to Northampton Town. He was released by Millwall at the end of the 2015–16 season.

Gillingham
On 6 July 2016 he joined League One club Gillingham on a two-year contract. He suffered a serious ankle injury in a pre-season friendly at the end of the month and early indications were that he would miss the entire season as a result, but he eventually returned to action in February 2017 making his debut against Port Vale in a 1–1 draw.

On 3 August 2017 he was named as Gillingham captain by manager Adrian Pennock. He was released by Gillingham at the end of the 2017–18 season.

Exeter City
Following his release from Gillingham, Martin joined Exeter City. He made 77 appearances and scored 8 goals over two seasons at the club, helping Exeter reach the 2020 EFL League Two play-off final. He was released following the end of his contract in July 2020.

Ebbsfleet United
He joined National League South side Ebbsfleet United on 29 July, following his release from Exeter City.

Dover Athletic
On 4 July 2022, Martin joined recently relegated National League South club Dover Athletic. Martin was not one of the four players to be initially retained following final day survival at the end of the 2022–23 season.

Ramsgate
On 16 June 2023, Martin signed for Isthmian League South East Division club Ramsgate.

Ashford United
On 5 July 2024, Martin joined Isthmian South East division rivals Ashford United.

Talk:Death in Venice

Dead link
"Oh Boy. Tadzio, Adzio, and the secret history of Death in Venice" by Allen Barra. December 3–9, 2003" - failed to load. 117.207.233.43 (talk) 15:43, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Link works fine. 28 April 2015

untitled
"The novel ends on the Lido beach where von Aschenbach is watching Tadzio play with his friends. The boy wanders out to sea but turns and finally shares eye contact with the old man, and von Aschenbach dies." -- In Visconti's film the two have plenty of eye contact! I'd note this directly in the article itself but I've not read the story and so might have an entirely wrong perspective, not having read background to the film either. If anyone with more background would like to note this?
 * This finally is really misleading, as this is really not the first eye-contact throughout the book.—84.179.35.29 19:27, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Novels Split
Rather than trip over each other as appears to be the case with the plot summary, can I propose we have a separate "Novels" article. This would then me primarily about the film, with some minor references to the way it differs from the original novel. :: Kevinalewis  :  (Talk Page) / (Desk)  11:25, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * If there is a split, this article should be about the novella (not a novel), which came first, and Death in Venice (film) should be split off. Pais 19:31, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, now that the film has its own article, we have to work on separating out the novella from the film in this article. Right now they're discussed pretty much together. Pais 23:58, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject class rating
This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 03:55, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

How was the book received?
It would be interesting to have something on the early reception of the novella in the German-speaking lands and, later, in the English-speaking countries and elsewhere. After all, key aspects of the book were generally taboo at the time. Norvo (talk) 01:28, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

 * To add to this comment, 6.5 years later, yes, the article lacks a discussion of context - how it was received, why it is famous, reviews, lasting impact, how it fits in with literature at the time, etc. Bdushaw (talk) 15:07, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Reading Mann's Mind
This Wikipedia article seems to imply that Mann and Aschenbach shared similar characteristics. Must a novel’s author necessarily have the same attributes that he or she ascribes to a person in the story? Nietzsche warned against considering the artist to be the same as “…what he is able to represent, conceive, and express.

 * It’s a novelette. It is self-evident that it is fictional. However, when the artwork is well-done and very imaginative, some readers believe that the author is the same as the protagonist.

There are two extremes in literature: completely autobiographical and completely non-autobiographical. Between the two opposite poles, there are many gradations or degrees. Thomas Wolfe claimed that all literature is autobiographical. Referring to Tolstoi, he wrote to his editor, Maxwell Perkins, "...both of us [himself and Tolstoi], and every other man who ever wrote a book, are autobiographical" [Thomas Wolfe: A Biography, (New York:Doubleday,1960, Ch. XXIV, p. 360)]. Where is Mann’s book on the graded scale between the two extremes? How much of Mann’s book is autobiographical? Without being able to read Mann’s mind, how could we know if Aschenbach and Mann share the same characteristics?108.24.200.168 (talk) 19:05, 28 May 2022 (UTC)Hans Wurst

John Scott (MSP)

William John Graham Scott (born 7 June 1951) is a Scottish farmer and former Scottish Conservative politician. He was the Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for Ayr from 2000 to 2021.

Background
Born in Girvan, Scott was educated at Barrhill Primary in South Ayrshire and George Watson's College in Edinburgh. He has a Bachelor of Science degree for Civil Engineering from the University of Edinburgh.

Scott played for the Wigtownshire Rugby Club from 1969 to 1973, a hobby he enjoys to this day.

Scott established the Ayrshire Farmers Market in 1999 and founded the Scottish Association for Farmers in 2001. He tends to his farm in Balkissock outside of Ballantrae in South Ayrshire, whilst also owning a flat in the town of Ayr.

Political career
Scott stood as the Conservative candidate for Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley at the 1999 Scottish Parliament election, finishing third behind Labour and the Scottish National Party with 8,123 votes (19.8%). He has served as constituency MSP for Ayr since winning the constituency in a by-election in 2000. He was returned to Parliament at the 2003 Scottish Parliamentary election and again, with an increased majority, at the 2007 Scottish Parliamentary election. At the 2011 and 2016 elections he retained the constituency with a reduced majority, despite seeing his vote increase by 3,564 between 2007 and 2016.

Scott declared his support for Ruth Davidson in the Scottish Conservative leader election. On 11 May 2011, he was elected by MSPs to serve as one of the two Deputy Presiding Officers of the Scottish Parliament. He served until 2016 when he was unsuccessful in his attempt to become Presiding Officer.

Scott was the Scottish Conservative spokesperson for sustainable development between 2016 and 2021, having previously served as spokesperson for the environment from 2001 until 2003 and as spokesperson on rural affairs from 2007 until 2011. He was appointed as the convener of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee of the Scottish Parliament in June 2016. In 2021, he lost his seat to the Scottish National Party's Siobhian Brown.

Scott was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2022 New Year Honours for political and public service.

Controversy
Scott came under fire after it emerged that he profited from wind energy investments – despite his party having previously opposed the development of such projects. The Register of Interests for Mr Scott states: "From 6 March 2009 part of the Farm’s income comes from a contract with CRE Energy Ltd to provide access over the farm for the purpose of building and maintaining a windfarm".

Interior design 1950's
This article is original research. I put a cleanup tag on it a while ago because I thought something could be salvaged from it, but the more I look at it the more I can't find anything to merge anywhere, since everything here is advancing the argument of what is, in fact, an essay. Chick Bowen 01:09, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. I have graded the essay. It gets an F. –ArmadniGeneral (talk • contribs) 01:22, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. While the current version and location looks unacceptable, I think there could be a good article about interior design trends in 1950s America (and other countries).  Maybe I just say this because I'm renovating a house with some wacky 1950s-era design choices under the carpet/wallpaper!  But interior design, very different every 10 years or so, is a notable part of culture.  --W.marsh 01:32, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'd support a History of interior design or some such. But individual decades probably don't merit an article. Chick Bowen 02:12, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I think you will find that individual decades of the 20th century probably do merit an article. For that matter, though there are fewer people capable of contributing, it is possible to go decade by decade back into the 19th century.  18th century, the span between major changes it a bit larger.  Heck, changes in fasion for interior decoration goes back to the ancient Egyptians and earlier.  I encourage W.marsh to start a better article on 50's interior design. Crypticfirefly 16:08, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as original research. --Merovingian (t) (c) 01:52, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete no substance, could qualify as original research if the article had original research in it. My chief question is, are there such pages for other decades, and if so, what are the formats used.  In any event, this is a very weak entry. Stu 19:23, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * No, Stu, this is the only one. Chick Bowen 18:37, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Ni Zan

Ni Zan (1301–1374) was a Chinese painter during the Yuan and early Ming periods. Along with Huang Gongwang, Wu Zhen, and Wang Meng, he is considered to be one of the Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty.

Life
Ni Zan was born into a wealthy family in Wuxi. His courtesy name was Yuan Zhen (元鎮), and his art names were Yun Lin Zi (雲林子), Huan Xia Sheng (幻霞生), and Jing Man Min (荊蠻民). He was born after the death of the Kublai Khan, the Mongol ruler who defeated the Song and established dominance over all the areas that had traditionally been considered China. The Yuan rulers did not trust many of the Confucian scholars and instead preferred to appoint Mongolians and Muslims to administrative positions. Ni Zan was born into an elite family who could afford the cost of a rigorous Confucian education for him in spite of the unavailability of high-paying governmental jobs that traditionally were the reward for such an education. He was one of a number of wealthy scholars and poets who were part of a movement that radically altered traditional conceptions of Chinese painting. Their paintings depicted representations of natural settings that were highly localized, portraying personally valued vistas that reflected their individual feelings.

During the 1340s a number of droughts and floods caused a famine throughout Ni Zan's region, which subsequently led to peasant revolts. These revolts peaked in 1350 due to the government’s use of forced labor to repair the dikes on the Yellow River. Throughout the 1340s, the Yuan rulers also imposed heavy taxes on the rich landowners of the region in order to cover the cost of the ongoing natural disasters. There are many divergent opinions concerning Ni Zan’s reaction to these taxes, and his ensuing actions are unclear. However, it has been established that he distributed all of his possessions to his friends and moved into a houseboat. He left on the eve of the millenarianist Red Turban Revolt and travelled throughout the relatively peaceful southeast while various revolutionary parties tore through his region of origin. It was at this time that Ni Zan developed his distinctive style.

Ni Zan's landscapes after 1345 all take very much the same form: ink-monochrome paintings of widely separated riverbanks rendered in sketch brushwork and foreground trees silhouetted against the expanse of water. His sparse landscapes never represent people and defy many traditional concepts of Chinese painting. Many of his works hardly represent the natural settings they were intended to depict. Indeed, Ni Zan consciously used his art as a medium of self-expression. In 1364, he said “I use bamboo painting to write out the exhilaration in my breast, that is all. Why should I worry whether it shows likeness or not?”

Ni Zan travelled around southern China during the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty and spent his time painting. During his lifetime, his work was highly valued and in itself was enough to pay for the hospitality provided by his friends as he travelled. He returned to his hometown in 1371 after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. In 1372, he painted his Rongxi Studio, which epitomizes his style.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:48, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

NPOV
I fixed this up a bit and added a little more information. I left the neutrality tag up...someone else besides me can determine that much.

Seriously, that's it? One sentence? This is a ridiculously short article, and is quite cleary not a neutral point of view. user:Rebochan

 * A stub. I added some.   Ummm... why are the director and the top three actors red links? RJFJR 00:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Darren Ewing
I think u guys should remove redirected Darren Ewing to this film because he is not Troll 2, he's just an actor for this film. He should have his own section in wikipedia and not share with this movie.

Neutrality?
I tagged this page with a Neutrality dispute. Should we really consider the statement, "people who like trashy movies" neutral?

ClintFord 15:45, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Tagging Troll 2 with a neutrality dispute because someone suggested it was a "trashy movie" shows that Wikipedia is run by a bunch of complete nincompoops.

The above is a non sequitor, or something spelled very much like it. How can there be no page for the original 'Troll'? That film was great!

 * Well, it seems that the NPOV dispute has been cleared up so I have removed the tag. - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 11:42, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Trashy might be a bit harsh, but this movie is generally seen as one of the worst, if not the worst movie ever made. There are a lot of people (myself included) who actively seek out truly bad movies. Some movies are so bad they are good, this is so horrible it is wonderful. I loved the part where the father says "At this time of night, they are probably all asleep". What makes it funny is that you can see that it is obviously about noon. These must be the laziest farmers in the world.--RLent 18:43, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

 * The fact that it is voted by many, many people as the worst movie ever made (usually is number one on IMDB although lately is has dropped... although it is usually on the BOTTOM 20) means that there are a lot of people who "enjoy" this movie a lot, and there is a huge fan base, so it's no surprise that there is a lot of things written about this movie, "trashy" or otherwise. Also, there is a page for the original Troll. Seandusk 9:37, 14 September 2007

Even without the "Trashy movie" statement, I don't think the plot section is neutral at all. It doesn't matter how bad it is, Wikipedia content must be neutral. Deftera (talk) 23:35, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Vandal
Just took out the line "exploitation actress" and replaced it with "erotic actress".

Removed Line
I just removed this line: "and is rated on the list not to have been featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000" because it did not make any sense. Feel free to make it more coherent and add it back in. --Thisisbossi 01:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Goblin as title
When videos go up for the Boston screening I can hopefully source this. I was there this weekend and the cast members told us both that the movie was supposed to be called Goblin and that some international VHS releases had that name. Michael said he owned the VHS with that name during the Q&A, and Darren told us later that it was the name for the script as well. Onikage725 20:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Breakfast in the Ruins blog
This blog does not actually seem to mention any of the things it is used to cite. It touches on the writer calling everyone dogs, but even that isn't quite the same between the two sources.

Botanichesky Sad (Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line)

Botanichesky Sad (Ботани́ческий сад) is a Moscow Metro station in Rostokino District, North-Eastern Administrative Okrug, Moscow. It is on the Kaluzhsko–Rizhskaya line, between VDNKh and Sviblovo stations.

Botanichesky Sad opened on 29 September 1978 along with a northwest ward extension of the Rizhsky radius. The station is named after the Moscow Botanical Garden of Academy of Sciences. The name is somewhat confusing as the garden is near the entrance of the Vladykino station, but it takes a 10– 15 minute walk to get to the Botanical Garden from the Botanichesky Sad metro station.

Building
Botanichesky Sad was designed by architects N. Demchinsky and Yuliya Kolesnikova. The station features a pillar-trispan with a ceiling covered with a grid of modular anodized aluminium light fixtures. White marble was used in facing the pillars and the walls, but the walls are also decorated with aluminium artworks on various nature-based themes (artist Z. Vetrova).

The station has two entrances; the southern entrance is a surface rotunda building on Leonova Street which is internally lit by sculptural lamps (work of N. Masterpulo) and is linked by escalators to the main platform. As the station is located under Moscow's circular railway, the station was foreseen as a possible future transfer point. The northern subterranean entrance is on the opposite side of the Moscow Little Ring Railway and is linked with subways under the Serebryakova and Snezhnaya Streets. The station is connected with the entrance by a vaulted subway under the railway. Partly because of its relatively empty surrounding area, the Botanichesky Sad station has low daily passenger traffic of 28,650.

South African College Schools

The South African College Schools (colloquially often known as “SACS”) is a public English medium primary and high education institution situated in Newlands - part of the Southern Suburbs region of Cape Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. Founded in 1829, it is the oldest continuously run school in South Africa.

SACS is one of four schools expressly endowed by Cecil John Rhodes to offer an annual Rhodes Scholarship to one of their graduating students.

History
The concept of the South African College was formed in 1791 when the Dutch Commissioner-General, Jacob Abraham Uitenhage de Mist, asked for funding to be set aside to improve schooling in the Cape. After the British took control of the Cape Colony, the second colonial governor - Lord Charles Henry Somerset - gave permission for the funds reserved by De Mist to be used to establish the South African College in 1814.

The founding committee met in the Groote Kerk to discuss funding and accommodation for the school, and - on 1 October 1829 - the inauguration of the South African College was held and classes began. The original location of the school was in the Weeshuis on Long Street. The school moved to what is now known as the Egyptian Building in the Gardens district of Cape Town in 1841.

It was decided in 1874 that the younger students should be separated from their older counterparts. The South African College was separated into the College which became the University of Cape Town and the College School.

In 1896, the College School moved to its own building on Orange Street, separate from the College. For the next few decades, the school grew and the building became too small for the number of students attending.

In 1959, the school moved to its current home on the Montebello Estate in Newlands, former home of the mining magnate Sir Max Michaelis, after negotiations spanning a decade with the Cape Administration.

In 2012, the school grounds were used to film Spud 2: The Madness Continues.

School buildings
The current school buildings are situated along Dean Street and Newlands Avenue in Cape Town.

The Junior School is located along Dean Street and is equipped with numerous fields for sporting activities, of which some are shared with the High School. The Junior School has a full-length swimming pool, with a smaller children's pool for the younger students. A number of tennis courts are also available to the students. The Junior School has a Media Centre which hosts computer facilities, a library and classrooms. The music department has its own auditorium for cultural events and is also used for events with smaller audiences. The Junior School's boarding house is named after J. E. De Villiers.

The High School is closest to Newlands Avenue and also hosts a number of sports fields for the various sports which the school offers throughout the year. The swimming pool is mainly used for Water Polo, and is also heated to facilitate training and usage in winter. The High School has a Media Centre with air-conditioned computer labs and library. The school hall is named after one of the School's most famous students, Jan Hendrik Hofmeyr. The boarding houses for the High School are Michaelis House (for the junior students) and Rosedale House (for the senior students).

High school sports
SACS offers a wide variety of summer and winter sports for boys to partake in throughout the year. Boys are required to partake in at least one main summer and winter sport, and may also partake in other secondary sports (provided they are involved in a main sport first).

 * Main summer sports
 * Cricket
 * Swimming
 * Water polo
 * Rowing
 * Tennis
 * Basketball
 * Athletics
 * Mountain biking
 * Secondary summer sports
 * Sailing
 * Main winter sports
 * Rugby union
 * Hockey
 * Cross-country
 * Squash
 * Mountain biking
 * Secondary winter sports
 * Bodyboarding

High school clubs and societies
Clubs, societies and bands are available at the high school. As of 2022, there were the following active clubs, societies and bands operating at SACS:

 * History Society
 * Marimba Band
 * Choir
 * Piano Legends
 * Big Band
 * Junior Jazz Band

Uniform
The traditional school colour of navy blue was determined in the 1880s when SACS pupils purchased the only pattern available of alternating white, light- and dark-blue horizontal stripes from Porter Hodgson's Outfitters in Cape Town. Prior to this, the pupils wore what they could afford, while still being presentable.

Today, the High School uniform consists of a summer and winter uniform. During summer, boys wear khaki shorts with long khaki socks and brown shoes. In winter, the basic uniform consists of long charcoal trousers, black socks and black shoes. Both the summer and winter uniforms are accompanied by the SACS navy-blue blazer, white school shirt and school tie. Both these uniforms can be worn at any time during the school year, except for certain formal school functions, where a specific uniform is required.

The Junior School uniform consists of a white shirt, charcoal shorts, a SACS Junior belt, charcoal socks with thin light and dark blue stripes at the top, black shoes and the Junior School tie, which is similar to the High School tie, apart from one minor difference. The Junior School uniform includes the same blazer as the High School, with the difference that the Junior School does not modify blazers for Blues (colours) awards, as at the High School.

Rhodes Scholarship
When Cecil John Rhodes died in 1902, he specifically endowed the South African College in his will as one of four schools in the Cape Colony where the Rhodes Scholarship would be awarded on an annual basis to a former student to study at the University of Oxford.

Rover Scout

Rover Scouts, Rovers, Rover Scouting or Rovering is a program associated with some Scouting organizations for adult men and women. A group of Rovers is called a 'Rover Crew'.

Rovers was originated by The Boy Scouts Association in the United Kingdom in 1918 to provide a program for young men who had grown up beyond the age range of the Boy Scouts. It was adopted by many other Scouting organisations.

Many Scouting organisations, including The Scout Association in the UK, no longer include a Rover program. Some have replaced it with other programs while others, including Traditional Scouting organisations, maintain the original program. The Baden-Powell Award still forms the Rover award scheme in associations in several countries including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Pakistan, Hong Kong and Singapore, and for several of the traditional Scouting associations that retained Rover Scouting.

Origins
The Rover program had its origins in two different schemes. The first, aimed at Boy Scouts in the United Kingdom who were aged between 15 and 18 years old, was called "Senior Scouts" which was launched in March 1917 during World War I. It quickly became apparent that there weren't enough adult male leaders available in wartime, and it was several decades before the Senior Scout program was established. The second scheme was the series of 'Battlefield Scout Huts' provided for the recreation of British and Empire soldiers in rear areas of the Western Front. Related to these was the St George's Scout Club for servicemen, which operated in the English garrison town of Colchester under the leadership of "Uncle" H. Geoffrey Elwes. From these projects, it became apparent that there was a need for a Scouting-related program that catered for young men, many of whom would shortly be returning from the war.

The first mention of the term "Rover Scouts" was by Sir Robert Baden-Powell in The Boy Scouts Headquarters Gazette in August 1918. The booklet "Rules for Rover Scouts" was issued in September 1918, and the scheme was fully established by November 1919. Baden-Powell set about writing a handbook for the new scheme, which was published in 1922 as Rovering to Success. It contained Baden-Powell's philosophy for a happy adult life as well as ideas for activities that Rover Scouts could organise for themselves. It was translated into many other languages and still remains in print in English today, as well as being available in online versions.

Rovering spread to many other countries following its inception in Britain in 1918, although it no longer exists in the Scout Association. Today, the Rover section remains an important program of Scouting organizations in many European countries, in most member countries of the Commonwealth of Nations (e.g., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong), across Central and South America, the Middle East and in many other countries such as Ireland, Japan, Republic of China/Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand and Korea. New Zealand Rovers, in particular, hold a National Moot every year over the Easter holiday weekend where international participants are always openly welcomed.

Rover Scouting continued among the troops during the Second World War, even in Prisoner of War (POW) camps. Some artifacts of the Rover Crew at Changi (Singapore), including the crew flag, have been preserved; they are now held by the Scout Heritage Centre of Scouts Australia in Victoria, Australia. Additionally there is an ornate investiture certificate from the Changi Rover Crew in the Changi exhibit in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.

Age range
In his 1922 book, Rovering to Success, Baden-Powell wrote that Rovers "are in point of fact a senior branch of the Boy Scout Movement—young men of over seventeen years of age", "In order to be admitted to a Rover Crew you must be 17, but preferably 18, years of age...." and that Rover training "gives the older boy an aim for remaining under helpful influences at the difficult time of his life when he is just entering on manhood." Baden-Powell repeatedly referred to Rovers as "young men". The 1938 edition of PO&R in the United Kingdom states that "Rover Scouting covers the period during which the young man is 'finding himself,' i.e., developing his character and his powers by training them...." While the program was clearly aimed at young men, an upper age was not specified.

Today in most Scouting organizations that operate a Rover program, Rovers starts in the late teens and has an age limit in the mid-20s (see Age groups in Scouting and Guiding). For major international events like the World Scout Moot, participants typically must be 18–25 years old at the time of the event.

In some Scouting organizations, particularly Traditional Scouting associations, Rovering has no upper age limit. Rover may remain Rovers at any age and in some cases adults of any age may join Rovering. In the Baden-Powell Service Association (United States), all adult members are classed as Rovers.

Around the world
Rover Scouts International

Australia
Scouts Australia, the Rover section includes young men and women between 18 years to 25 years of age inclusive. Though it is small in numbers, it provides a source of leader support and other service for the association, as well as a whole range of activity opportunities for its members.

Unlike The Scout Association in the United Kingdom, where Rovers were disbanded after the Advance Party Report in the mid-1960s, Rovers in The Scout Association of Australia resisted attempts to abolish the program, or even reduce the program age range as advocated in the "Design for Tomorrow" Committee's report in 1970. Rovers threatened to pull out of Scouting entirely, surrendering the Rover Chalet on Victoria's High Plains and resigning as leaders and assessors for younger sections. The Scout Association of Australia did however change its Rover Scout program, including the name to 'Rovers', admitting women in 1975, and updating the Baden-Powell Award Scheme.

Self-government of Rover Crews, came about in the mid-1970s following the Georges River Experiment (named after a District Rover Crew in New South Wales). Rovers demonstrated that they could govern themselves, as their leaders stepped back to become Rover Advisers.

Australian Rovers provide active service to all sections.. Service in the community is also valued, with many Branch Rover Councils (the governing bodies for Rovers in each state and territory) making annual awards to Crews and individuals who provide exemplary service to the community and/or Scouting.

Another noteworthy feature of the Australian Rover section is the existence of "Lone" Rover Crews in several states, drawing their membership from across the rural parts of the country, or from Rovers who (because of shiftwork, military service or other reasons) cannot be members of regular Rover Crews. Meetings are held by correspondence, with opportunities to get together at an annual Crew camp and major state or national Rover activities.

National Rover Moots are held every three years in Australia.

In 2008, the Rover section marked its 90th birthday, together with the 100th anniversary of Scouting in Australia.

In 2018, a variety of activities and celebrations took place to mark the Centenary year of the Rover section.

From 2018, after several years of surveying and development, a new Youth Program began trials in most states. This encompassed all youth sections, including Rovers. The new Youth Program was then progressively rolled out across Australian Scouting from 2019, with implementation schedules varying from state to state. Some key changes were reverting to the name "Rover Scouts", formations to be called a "Unit" (in common with all youth sections) in place of a "Crew", dropping the section's motto of "Service" which was replaced by "Beyond the Horizon", reference to service changed to "community involvement" and its removal as the section's central ethos, dropping the knighthood theme of Knights and Squires, and a total change to the Baden-Powell Scout Award scheme (now the peak award in an "achievement pathway") to align it to the same structure as the younger sections. As would be expected in a section with 100 years of well-established traditions, not all the changes were enthusiastically embraced, with many Rovers retaining use of traditional terminology, and the service ethos in particular.

Scouts Canada
Rovers (men and women ages 18–26) is part of the Scouts Canada program. The Rover program is the final stage in Canadian Scouting after the Venturer (ages 14–17) program. Following the major program reviews for the Cub and Scout sections in the mid-1960s, the Canadian Rover program was reviewed and overhauled in 1971. Part of this initiative involved a three-year experiment to allow young women to join the Rover Section. Each crew had the option of voting to become a co-ed crew for the duration of the experiment. At the end of the three years, a survey of all 2850 Rovers in Canada was conducted, and the co-ed option was overwhelmingly adopted in 1974. Scouts Canada became a fully co-educational organization in 1998.

Rover Scouts in Canada have modernized the program by adopting different themes to their program, much like the traditional St George theme. Examples would include "MedRover crews" that focus on First Aid, Leadership and Management training such as the 180th Pacific Coast Rover Crew, however crews are welcome to create any structure that works for them.

Baden-Powell Service Association
Rover Knights are the Baden-Powell Service Association equivalent and is open to all adults (18+). It is the final stage after Senior Explorers (ages 14–17), and is open to both males and females as well. Informally, the term Knights is usually dropped and the section is referred to simply as Rovers.

The outdoors is an essential part of both Rover programs. Rovers often participate in adventurous activities like mountain climbing, white water rafting, or para-sailing. Rovers also help their local communities by running service activities such as food drives, park clean-ups, and tree plantings. Rovers meet in a group called a Crew. Rovers develop and manage their own program under the mentorship of a respected advisor. Rovers adhere to the promise that is used in the Scout section onwards, and the motto "Service".

Japan
Rovers in Japan are usually, but not always, attached to local universities, such as Keio and Waseda. The program is seeing growth, in part due to rising dues in the similarly-aged Venture Scout program. The most recently created group is Takamatsu 15, attached to Takamatsu University on Shikoku.

New Zealand
Rovers men and women between 18 years and 26 years of age is part of the Scouts Aotearoa programme. While the section is small in number, with around 200 members as of 2021, it contributes a large number of service hours both to Scouting and the wider community, with most members additionally being leaders in other sections. Rovers maintain a range of facilities and lodges at campgrounds around the country.

Co-educational membership of Rover Crews was debated at the 33rd National Rover Moot in Whanganui in 1975, then voted and passed at the 34th National Rover Moot in Timaru in 1976. In 2017 the Rover Section age range was reviewed, with the majority of surveyed members preferring a reduction in the maximum age of the section. As a result of this review, the Rover age was retained as 18-26, but the maximum age of Rover Associates was reduced from 34 to 28 years, with the outcomes being implemented at the conclusion of the 77th National Rover Moot "Once Upon A Moot" in 2019. In 2020 the section age range was reviewed again, with the Associate membership being phased out at the conclusion of the 80th National Rover Moot "Wild Moot" in 2023.

The National Rover Moot is held annually over Easter weekend, with around 200 participants from around New Zealand and Australia attending.

Boy Scouts of the Philippines
Rovering started in the Philippines when the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) separated from the Boy Scouts of America on 31 October 1936. However, following the Chief Scouts' Advance Party Report in 1966, the section was discontinued in the Philippines, and was replaced by a different programme.

The Advance Party Report caused some disquiet amongst some leaders who believed that Scouting was progressing away from its traditional roots, and the Philippines was no different from other organizations affected by the programme changes in the late 1960s. As with countries like the United Kingdom, this led to the creation of independent Scouting organizations which continues the traditional Rover Scout programme.

In 1990, the BSP resumed a Rovering programme for men and women of 16 to 24 years in age, although there are considerable differences to the original programme. There is also a Rover Peers section for those over the age of 25.

Rovers Philippines
On 18 July 2008, a national Rover Scouting network was established through the internet, a national network of Rover Leaders and Scouts in the Philippines. The members are affiliated with the Boy Scouts of the Philippines and the group is a founding national Rover organization in the Rover Scouts International. The dynamic network aims to promote the brotherhood of the open air and service by providing an avenue for a relevant journey of young people of Rovering age from their adolescence to responsible adulthood.

Rovers Philippines hosted the 1st Rovers Scouts International Fellowship in the 36th Asia Pacific Regional Jamboree in Mt. Makiling, Philippines with the Scouts Canada, Malaysia and Brunei. The occasion was spearheaded by the Rover Circles/Crews of RoversPhil- Davao City Rovers, Butuan City FSUU Rovers, Surigao Maradyaw Karadyaw Rovers, San Dionisio Rovers, Sacred Heart Rovers of Quezon City, SMNHS Rovers of Rizal Council, and Marikina.

The Boy Scout of the Philippines Negros Oriental-Siquijor Council welcomed 70 Rover Scouts in ceremonies held on Nov. 23,2018 at the BSP Scout Jojo Magbanua Hall in Dumaguete City. The new Rover Scouts are from Silliman University Rover Scout Circle 01, Negros Oriental State University, Bayawan City National High School, St. Paul University Dumaguete, Bayawan City Science and Technology Education Center, Bais City National High School, Foundation University and Junob National High School.

On 12 December 2009, the leaders of the network elected its national committee which named the network as Rovers Philippines with the netname RoversPhil.

Independent Rover Crews
On 12 December 2004, a number of Rover Scouts and Leaders grouped together and formed the Philippine Liahona Rover Crew as an affiliate of the Rover Scout Association. The crew became affiliated with the Baden-Powell Movement of Australia (BPSA-Australia) on 14 August 2005 and started to promote traditional Scouting programme to the younger sections.

In 2006, another independent group of Rover Scouts became part of the Rover Explorer Scouts Association, which is headquartered in the United Kingdom (the International HQ). This group was started as a single Rover Crew on 21 April 2006 when their Rover Mate and founder of the group was invested as a Rover Scout. In the same year, the group gained recognition as a recognised council or branch office of the association in the Philippines. The Rover Explorer Scouts Association-Philippine Council was formed and recognised in August 2006. The region has also adopted a local group from the United Kingdom, the Pathfinder Scouts Association (PSA). The methodology, practices, programmes and beliefs of the associations are based on the 1907 original Scouting programme and the pre-Advance Party Report 1966.

Both associations were founded by the Filipinos who are living in the Philippines through the help and assistance of Americans, Australians and British Scouts and Scouters who believe in Traditional Scouting and the pre-1967 Scouting programme as laid down by B-P in his books Rovering to Success and Scouting for Boys.

The Scout Association
Rover Scouts is no longer an active part of The Scout Association, having been replaced in the late 1960s by the Venture Scout programme, which in turn has been replaced by Explorer Scouts and Scout Network. There are other Scouting organizations (mainly the British Boy Scouts and British Girl Scouts Association, Baden-Powell Scouts Association, European Scout Federation (British Association) and Pathfinder Scouts Association), which are not affiliated to the World Organization of the Scout Movement, who do have a Rover Scout section.

Rovering began in 1918 in the UK, ten years after the start of the Scouting program. After a rough start, due in large part to the effects of the First World War, the Rover Scout program began to grow. Over 2000 Rover Scouts were in attendance when the Prince of Wales, later Edward VIII, visited a Rover event in Westminster Hall in the Palace of Westminster in November 1926.

By 1931, Rovering had established itself internationally to the extent that the first World Rover Moot was organised in 1931 at Kandersteg, Switzerland.

Initially, the age range for Rover Scout membership was not precisely specified. In 1921 the Conference of Rover Scouts stated that 'A Rover Scout is usually a Senior Scout aged 17 years and over'. In 1956 the upper age range was fixed at 24.

Original programme and badges
In the 1920s, the progress badges of Rover Scouts (then known as "special proficiency badges") were not too different from the Scout section - Rover Scouts wore a First Class badge and the King's Scout badge that had red trim, together with their proficiency badges. In addition, they were qualified to achieve and wear the Rambler Badge (metal version) on the left epaulette and the Rover Instructor badge.

In the 1930s, the number of badges were greatly reduced- no more First Class badge, King's Scout badge or proficiency badges. A Rover was only entitled to wear only two badges - the Rambler and the Rover Instructor. After World War II, even the Rover Instructor was not issued for a brief period. The situation improved after 1948 when the "Plan for Rover Scouts" introduced the "Progress Badge", initially a lanyard worn on the right shirt pocket, but later changed to a cloth emblem to be worn on the right epaulette.

In a bid to rescue the flagging Rovering section, The Scout Association introduced a new organisation and training scheme in 1956, where new badges were launched to attract new members. Queen's Scouts were entitled to wear a miniature replica on their left sleeves (or the Airman's badge/Seaman's badge or Bushman's Thong under the right epaulette, but not together with the Queen's Scout badge replica) before they qualified for the highest award in the Rover section - the Baden-Powell Award (a special epaulette worn on the left shoulder).

Present day
All of the badges are now historic in The Scout Association, with the exception of the Queen's Scout Award, following their discontinuation of the Rover Scout programme.

In 2003 The Scout Association introduced the Scout Network, aimed at a similar age range (18 to 25) to the former Rover Scouts.

Baden-Powell Scouts' Association
The Baden-Powell Scouts' Association instituted a Rover programme upon its founding in 1970. Rovering remains one of the five Scout sections in their association, open to all adults over the age of 18.

Boy Scouts of America
In the United States, a Rovering program was introduced by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) in 1935, as part of a group of a “Senior Scout” division for boys 15 and older. The program was consolidated into "Explorer Scouts" in 1949, with a top age of 21 established in 1971. This program was redesigned as the Venturing program in the 1990s and is open to ages 14 through 20. The BSA does not sanction an adult Scouting program.

Baden-Powell Service Association
One group maintaining a Rovering legacy in the United States is the Baden-Powell Service Association. It is open to all Scouts eighteen years of age and over, and has no upper age limit. The BPSA was originally founded as a Rovering program before branching out into youth Scouting.
