Talk:Ottawa South (federal electoral district)

Needs a slight cleanup
It may be in the interests of Wikipedians to look through this article. I cleaned up the article's introduction due to bad spelling, grammar, apparent bias, slang, etc., but it may be good for an actual Canadian who knows more about this than I do to review it. JJE 13:20, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Map
Is the Ottawasouthndp.PNG image/map shown here for a reason? PKT (talk) 16:33, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

 * That and the accompanying table seems to have been a practice run for something intended to go on the page. While it's a little unusual to remove something on a talk page, I'm officially declaring it a "test edit" and removing it as such. If anybody disagrees, by all means, re-instate it. – RobinHood70 talk 20:08, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Rewrite
Calling this article start-class is high praise, given how messed up it is. Intro and "Political geography" sections are/were rife with opinion masquerading as fact, tables are poorly laid out, sections with overlapping information ("Member of Parliament" vs. "Members of Parliament", etc), just a total gong show. I've already edited/re-written the intro, and am working on the rest as time allows. As with any political article, language should be kept as neutral as possible! Calling areas "lower class" rather than "low-income" smacks of bias, as does using the term "immigrant areas" instead of "areas with a high proportion of immigrants/New Canadians". I don't even care by whom this bias was injected, nor who it purportedly benefits. If sections can't be written in a verifiable manner, they have no place in an article.

I'm not a hardcore Wikipedian like some, but I don't see why my riding can't have a better quality article than it currently does, while adhering to the central WP principle of neutrality. OK? OK. Suggestions are always welcome, unsourced material will always be deleted. I'm watching!

Thank you, come again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HuntClubJoe (talk • contribs) 23:11, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, those things you removed from the article should have been rewritten, as you suggested, not removed. It is not cool to come here and start removing valid information off the page. I'm going to put it back, and let's come up with a consensus before you remove if again, okay? That's the proper way of doing things. And by the way, I sourced the political geography bit, so please don't remove it. I can find more sources for everything else. As for the MP, that's standard on many riding articles. The riding association and political geography paragraphs are on my ridings articles too. If you don't think something is written neutrally, don't remove it, just make it read more neutral. I did the best I can, but your comments are fair. However, I take exception to you removing content. -- Earl Andrew - talk 00:10, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Take all the exception you like, but don't let your opinions blind you to WP norms. The "Member of Parliament" section is extraneous, and gives nothing to the article that the "Members of Parliament" section and the link to David McGuinty's personal page don't.  As for not removing non-neutral sections, the onus is on the writer to make them neutral, not on the editor to rewrite them.  If something needs to be written in a neutral fashion, that's not grounds to keep biased material in an article, period.  As for your "sourcing" you sourced a few parts, but left others unsourced.  This is not grounds to keep the whole section.

 * So in the interest of consensus, these are the changes I propose:

 * "Political geography": First off, it shouldn't be the lead section.  Geography (i.e. physical geography) is paramount, and thus should be placed first.  Anyone unfamiliar with the riding will first want to know, "Where is it?"  If it is ever written in a manner that does belong in the article, it should probably follow "Demographics", which answers the next question the uninitiated might have, which is, "Who lives there?"  This is not a WP policy, just common sense.

 * Next, any sentence with the words "arguably", "many", "most", "a bit" or other words to watch has zero place in the article. This is not the place for editorializing, and that is not negotiable.  Also, generalizations about polling trends could be useful, but should be based on the entire history of the riding rather than a single election, or even the past three.  "Sourcing" said information doesn't make it any more valid when there is no historical context.  So what does that leave in this section???

 * "The Liberals...winning polls in every neighbourhood. The NDP...won one poll in 2004, in Heron Gate. This poll would be lost in 2006. The Greens in both 2004 and 2006 were able to finish in third place (ahead of the NDP) in a number of polls.  In 2008, the Conservatives lost all of their polls in Elmvale Acres. The Liberals strengthened their support in Alta Vista."

 * That's it. Fair?  Encyclopaedic? Thorough?  No, no and no.  In lieu of that, the section needs to be deleted until a suitable rewrite can be fashioned.  Once again, the onus is on the writer to provide neutral, verifiable content, not on the editor to not delete garbage.  If it's garbage, it has to go.  Period.  If/when it's rewritten, it would be better to include numbers.  For example, "The Liberals gained 2406 votes at the expense of the NDP", rather than, "The Liberals picked up much of the vote that went to the NDP".  See the difference???

 * "Member of Parliament":
 * The article is about the riding, not the MP. There are several links to McGuinty's Wiki page as well as to his constituency page (you're welcome), thus negating this section's existence.  Pointing to the mistakes on other WP pages could justify anything, given all the stuff that goes unedited.  David McGuinty's bio is not relevant to the constituency, and the proof is simply that this info will necessarily be deleted when he vacates the seat.

 * "Riding associations":
 * Sorry. It's spam, and it's not relevant to the article.  "External links" is the place for links to the websites of political parties, whose only relevance is as it relates to their place on the ballot.  Why should the "Progressive Canadian Party" show up in the main text of the article?  Will they be historically relevant to Ottawa South?  And if they are, why not include the Marijuana Party, the Marxist-Leninists, Libertarians or all independents?  These links may have a place in the article, but it's not smack-dab in the middle of the part people want to read!  This is especially true when the original iteration of the section included links to only two of the five mentioned parties.  Not relevant, not fair, not staying.

 * So.....is there anything else I deleted or edited that I should explain? I'd be happy to consider serious, thoughtful suggestions, but you're not making any.  Show me a WP norm, a source for specific information you insist on keeping, anything encyclopaedic!  Otherwise, expect me to revert your reverts until given proper justification why I shouldn't.

 * Sorry if my consensus seems one-sided, but Wikipedia isn't a democracy. I made my edits and deletions deliberately, and with much forethought.  I'll give you until midnight to source and edit the above sections, after which time I'm gonna take out the trash.  If that offends you, by all means, get a second opinion.  Show them the diffs, and get an unbiased opinion.  This article isn't my baby, I'm not attached to every word.  I just want a nice, clean article with no bullshit.  Capisca?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by HuntClubJoe (talk • contribs) 01:16, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Sir, first of all, please sign your comments. Stop spewing Wikipedia policy if you can't at least do that. I'm not finding you particularly civil, and you can't just create ultimatums. That's not how Wikipedia works. We have to come up with a consensus first. I will alert the governing WikiProject. Please do not make changes to the article until a consensus has arisen. It appears that you don't want to reach a consensus however, so please don't have me protect the page. Your requests are more likely to be respected the more willing you are to make concessions. Let that be a lesson for you on Wikipedia. -- Earl Andrew - talk 15:07, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

 * 1. Believe it or not, I had a problem with my tilde key (multilingual laptop keyboards are a pain).  As I haven't opted out of automatic signing of my posts, I fail to see how that makes my points any less valid.  2.  Civility does not require me to compromise by keeping biased, poorly sourced "information" in the article.  I have been civil to you personally, despite standing behind my edits.  Your post above is devoid of anything that could be construed as helpful to the article.  Is that civil?  3.  The fact that you revert my edits without even looking at the diffs is uncivil, to say the least.  This is clear, because the intervening versions have several innocuous edits (i.e. ((French: Ottawa-Sud)) vs. ((fr.: Ottawa-Sud)), etc.) that seem to disappear like Jimmy Hoffa whenever you touch the article.  That is not editing, it's being vindictive.

 * I'm not here to insult anyone, nor to stroke anyone's ego. If you're really concerned, then you, like me, ought to make individual manual edits to the page (I'm old-school like that).  Reverting at this point is a dick move, given how many edits I've made that aren't contentious (spelling, grammar and layout).  Now I'm going back to editing this page, as I've been doing for several hours now.  If you want consensus, make some suggestions!  My tilde key still doesn't work, so by the power of Character Map.....  HuntClubJoe (talk) 18:31, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

 * I've made a note of this discussion on the talk page of the WikiProject. Because we have differing opinions as to what should be included in this article, I believe it is important for others to comment. I recommend you hold off from editing until we can bring some new blood into the discussion. -- Earl Andrew - talk 19:16, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

 * I'll leave the offending sections in for now, but I may also make some edits to said sections, including (at a minimum) moving the "Federal Riding Associations" section nearer to the bottom of the page. Further opinions are always welcome, but unsourced material really shouldn't be in this or any article.  In my humble opinion, there is too much editorializing in the article which, though possibly true, can't be confirmed without citations of solid sources.

 * Having said all that, I will confine any contentious edits (specifically, deletion of sections) to offline/sandbox until I have a cohesive article with verifiable facts. I've found a free source for 2006 Census numbers (not so easy), which should be helpful.  I will also scour the Elections Canada website for as much data as I can, in order to confirm or refute existing statements rather than just deleting them.  I'll let you know through your talk page when I have a sandbox version ready, so you and others can have a look-see and make suggestions/changes there.  Thanks for bearing with me.  It's clear we both have the same motives.  HuntClubJoe (talk) 20:06, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

 * I suggest taking a look at the pundits guide to Ottawa South, it has much of the information on this article, and is a good reliable source. Also, much of the yearly synopsis data was taken from "Canadian Politics Riding by Riding" by Tony L. Hill. . I don't own the book, so I can't immediately locate the page numbers, but I could head to the library and find it again. -- Earl Andrew - talk 23:33, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Well I suggest taking a look at WP:V and more specifically WP:V. After perusing your user talk page, I see that you have a habit of adding unsourced material.  You are in no position to question my deletion of such material, no matter how "uncivil" it may seem to you.  Consensus if a fine ideal to strive towards, but on Wikipedia, the burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores information.  In this case, that would be you.  This is not a blog, and articles in the political sphere are not crying out for unverified opinion-cum-political analysis.  From one New Democratic voter to another, please, stop editorializing and using questionable sources.  It debases your work here.

 * If you were the author of the article, then thanks. It makes a fine starting point for further edits.  So instead of an irrational defence of the article, accept that it will change, and that you will not be the author or final authority of those changes, and neither will I.  I've spent the entire day tracking down "real" sources, and synthesizing them into the article (offline, of course).  When I finish, it's gonna be posted, and I'm fully prepared for it to be torn down and reassembled as others see fit...as long as it's done for a reason.  This is just as I gave you a reason for the deletions I made.  As the author of the removed material, you may not like the reason, but it is valid nonetheless.  If my edits are not welcome, it's easy enough for those involved in the WikiProject to revert back to a previous version of the page.  Now, back to editing.  HuntClubJoe (talk) 02:09, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

 * What? I was trying to be helpful by giving you a couple of sources you could use. What's wrong with them? One is a book that details past elections, voting results, %'s, etc, and the other is a database that pretty much is the same thing, but online. If for some reason you don't think that database is a good source, it has plenty of sources on it to back it up. In any event, there is a specific wikiproject devoted to articles on ridings, and anything you find irrelevant for riding articles should be approved by the Wikiproject first. They may agree with you, they may disagree with you, but they should know what's going on. We should strive for consistency among the riding articles. Anyways, I don't see the point of going to all the work of providing references for everything if you are just going to keep removing the information anyways. I would rather focus my time on getting input from the community. -- Earl Andrew - talk 04:37, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

 * You're in no position to get snippy with me. I've looked at your user page, and it seems you're (in)famous for creating pages that are not verifiable.  Like I said, the onus is on the editor who adds/restores information.  You're making it quite clear that you could not care less about "the community" because if you did, you would abide by its rules (or at the very least, take two minutes to read the relevant ones).  Instead, you're an egomaniac who thinks that working as one of Frank Graves' minions qualifies you to comment on anything with the slightest whiff of statistical relevance.  Sorry to break it to you, but you don't.

 * I've laid out my course of action, and even modified it to be more reasonable, but you insist on opposing at every turn without any input for betterment. In any event, I will proceed in the manner I previously laid out, and "the community" will have every opportunity to vet the changes I make.  With any luck, they will also put the kibosh on your wannabe political/statistical analysis.  If you feel the need to offer unsolicited opinion, start a blog like your "friend" Jessica Funke.  Yes, Pundits' Guide is a blog.  It's a well laid-out blog with a sophisticated (by blog standards) statistical database, but a blog nonetheless.  For the purposes of Wikipedia, it is not a verifiable source.  Now seriously, knock it off until you get some direction from "new blood".  HuntClubJoe (talk) 05:19, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Hey you, quit the personal attacks, okay? That's not how you have a discussion. As for the pundit's guide, everything is sourced there, so if you don't consider it as a primary source, then one can use its sources. But I digress, I'm not having this discussion with a person who insists on ridiculing me with every comment. -- Earl Andrew - talk

 * Well thanks for all the helpful suggestions that you have (not) contributed to this discussion, I will be sure to (not) include them. HuntClubJoe (talk) 14:50, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * HuntClubJoe: Your attitude is rather uncivil.  WP works because editors - even with opposing views - collaborate and try to achieve consensus.  I suggest that you focus on the content of the article (specific proposals for change) rather than the other editors.  What are the proposed changes?  What are the options?  Which solution is best for the readers?   I have not yet looked at the merits of the content Earl Andrew is proposing, but your proposals will be better received by all if you present them in a civil, objective manner.  See WP:Civil and WP:Tenditious for details.   --Noleander (talk) 00:12, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Fact Check
With an Arab community of 6.3%, Ottawa South I am sure does not have the largest Arab Community in the Province of Ontario... Would love to see that reference from StatsCan...lol...--Oracleofottawa (talk) 07:44, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

 * If I'm reading this right, Ottawa South has over 20% of Ontario's Arab population, so it's not inconceivable. I couldn't find anything that specifically listed Arab population by riding, though. It was added back in 2005 by Earl Andrew who still appears to be active. I'll point him to this and see what he says. – RobinHood70 talk 20:23, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Pundit's guide backs this up, http://www.punditsguide.ca/riding/?riding=1117&pane=2 -- Earl Andrew - talk 20:44, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Thanks, I'll put that in in place of the Citation needed tag. – RobinHood70 talk 02:38, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Cairo Regional Internet Exchange

The Cairo Regional Internet Exchange (CRIX) is an Internet Exchange Point which was formed in Cairo, Egypt by a joint venture between the National Telecom Company (NTC) and its subsidiary ECC Solutions along with the Indian FLAG Telecom. The exchange was officially inaugurated in Cairo on December 18, 2002 by the then Minister of Communications & Information Technology, later Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif.

CRIX is the central peering point for local and regional Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Egypt and the Middle East. Its purpose is to efficiently route all intra-Regional Internet traffic among the operators without having to pass through the United States or Europe. This allows the regional data carriers to significantly optimize upstream capacity costs, enhance their existing bandwidth capacities and reduce the size of the routing tables worldwide. CRIX is hosted by ECC at its data center.

A 2005 report for the Arab Telecommunications and Information Council of Ministers concluded that the exchange was being under-utilized and that there was no real peering between Arab countries.

Talk:Homogeneous function

[Untitled Section]
What the hell is x times gradient of f(x) supposed to mean, dot product?

 * It means that for a vector function f(x) that is homogenous of degree k, the dot production of a vector x and the gradient of f(x) evaluated at x will equal k * f(x). CodeLabMaster 12:12, 05 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, as can be seen from the furmula under that one. I've added the dot and changed vector symbols to bold. mazi 18:04, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

The gradient is not even mentioned. Why not simply state the theorem in sum-of-derivative form? Even if a beginner digs through these comments, most likely looking up "gradient" will confuse them unnecessarily. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.112.177.67 (talk) 15:01, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Not all homogeneous functions are differentiable
The article, before I changed it a moment ago, implied that all homogeneous functions are differentiable. Here's a counterexample: $$f\colon \mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R$$, $$k=1$$, with $$f(x,y)= x$$ (if $$xy>0$$) or $$0$$ (otherwise). --Steve 03:23, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Is the derivative theorem correct?
According to planetmath, the theorem about derivatives is not correct unless we replace "homogeneous" by "positive homogeneous" throughout. Their counterexample is wrong (I just submitted a correction on the site), but could that claim be correct? Does anyone have a reference, or a proof, or a proper counterexample?

Update: The person maintaining that planetmath page responded to my correction by taking away the counterexample but keeping the claim. Again, a reference, proof, or proper counterexample is needed to resolve this. --Steve 15:51, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

The result is correct for functions which are homogeneous of degree $$k $$. I've added the elementary proof of this result to the page (and merged "Other properties" with "Euler's theorem" as the proofs are very similar). Is the planetmath contributor worried about $$\alpha=0$$? Clearly the definition of homogeneous of degree $$k$$ for $$k < 0 $$ has to be modified so that the condition holds for all $$ \alpha \neq 0 $$, and I've just changed this too. Mark (talk) 16:31, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Notation
Notation such as
 * $$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x_1} (\alpha \mathbf{x}) $$

can be confusing: Are we differentiating the expression with respect to the first component of $$\mathbf{x}$$ or do we mean the partial derivative of $$f$$ with respect to its first argument evaluated at the point $$\alpha \mathbf{x} $$?

It's therefore better to write
 * $$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x_1} (\alpha \mathbf{y}) $$:

now it's clear that $$x_1,\ldots, x_n$$ are the arguments of $$f$$ and we are differentiating with respect to the first argument of $$f$$ evaluated at the point $$\alpha \mathbf{y} $$.

I've cleaned up the notation in my proof of Euler's theorem accordingly. 91.21.25.30 (talk) 21:50, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree. Sorry about my incorrect edit to that effect earlier, thanks for reverting :-) --Steve (talk) 18:00, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

the name
Euler's theorem? why the name, is he the 1st guy prove this? if yes, why don't we use his work as a reference? Jackzhp (talk) 17:29, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep in mind the Euler lived in the 18th century and wrote mostly in Latin so not really a good reference for a modern audience. It might be worth adding the original work as a historical reference though.--RDBury (talk) 21:44, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

restriction of k for nth degree homogeneity?
What are the restrictions on k? Must k be contained within the domain of the vector space, reals, or what?

Thanks, Jgreeter (talk) 06:51, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

 * For arbitrary fields, k should be an integer. For the reals, it makes sense to define this notion also for real numbers k. For example, the square root is homogeneous with k=1/2.
 * But it seems to me that usually k is an integer. --Aleph4 (talk) 16:49, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Note on change http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Homogeneous_function&diff=529079679&oldid=520543743
The Phi used in the equations, that is /varphi inside a <math> tag, was rendered differently in my browser (mobile Safari) than the &phi used in the descriptions below (see Phi) -- so I switched the descriptions to use the clumsier but definitely-consistent <math> tag construction. 184.17.182.96 (talk) 06:26, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Keep it simple please
People who look up homogeneous function may not necessarily understand what "ƒ : V → W is a function between two vector spaces over a field F" means; Likewise people who know what a Banach space are not likely to wonder "what the heck is a homogeneous function" and look it up in Wikipedia. Do not scare people away from math please. And foremost, be mindful Wikipedia is basically an encyclopedia; it's meant for ordinary people to look up stuff :) --Sahir 08:41, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Typo in the introduction?
In the second line, should it say $$f(ax,y) = a^kf(x,y)$$ rather than $$f(ax,ty)=a^kf(x,y)$$? It looks like a typo but I don't know enough about the subject to edit. Mrdouglasweathers (talk) 12:35, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
 * This makes sense. I fixed it. --Erel Segal (talk) 13:16, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

degree 0 example?
How about an example of homogeneity of degree 0? Btyner (talk) 21:48, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

functions defined on positive cones or rays - and absolute homogeneity
The former is covered by the introduction, but that's it; later on, the square root is given as example, without discussing that it is not a function on a vector space. Absolute homogeneity is defined only later, but - being a defining property of norms - it could very well go into the introduction. (And: Zero removed? What about "[...] e.g. making matrix rank homogeneous of degree zero, once one omits the exceptional s=0".) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.90.163.192 (talk) 09:17, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Louis Meyer

Louis Meyer (July 21, 1904 – October 7, 1995) was an American racing driver who was the first three-time winner of the Indianapolis 500. He is generally regarded as one of the finest racers of his generation. Meyer is perhaps best known as the driver who started the tradition of drinking milk after winning the Indianapolis 500.

Early life and career
Meyer was born in Yonkers, New York on July 21, 1904, the son of French immigrants. Meyer was raised in Los Angeles, where he began automobile racing at various California tracks.

Early in his career, Meyer helped prepare the Miller driven by Frank Elliott in 1926, destroking the engine to bring it within the 91+1/2 cid displacement limit permitted by the rules. Meyer went with the car when it was sold in 1927 to Fred Holliday (of Holliday Steel Company) as the Jynx Special (a morbidly ironic name, since Jimmy Murphy had been killed in it in 1924). He would be mechanic for Wilbur Shaw in the Indianapolis 500 that year. Meyer also served as co-driver, taking the car from seventh place up to sixth.

Driving career
In 1928, Phil Shafer's intended Miller entry went up for sale, and Alden Sampson bought the car for Meyer. Meyer passed the rookie test, qualified thirteenth, and took the lead on Lap 181; he won by a margin of 25 seconds, at an average speed of 99.5 mph. The same year, Meyer won a 200 mi event at the 1+1/2 mi board track at Altoona, Pennsylvania, at an average speed of 117.02 mph, in a Stutz-Miller. He earned consistent points finishes to make him AAA's National Champion. He would claim the title again in 1929 and 1933.

At the 1929 Indianapolis 500, Ray Keech beat Meyer, only to be killed at Altoona two weeks later, the season's second 200 mi event there, which Meyer won, averaging 110 mph.

Meyer managed only fourth place at the 1930 Indianapolis 500, and the Great Depression curtailed racing. That, plus the closure of many board tracks as unsafe, led Meyer to concentrate more on dirt track racing.

In 1933's 500, at the wheel of the Tydol Special Miller, Meyer took the lead on Lap 129. Meyer steadily increased his lead from there, until he was fully four laps up on the field by the checkered flag. Despite lifting later in the race, Meyer's race average, 104.16 mph, was still a record. By winning his second 500, he joined a fairly exclusive club. Meyer started the tradition of drinking milk (buttermilk at the time) in victory lane that year, when he drank a glass. Following his 1936 victory, he drank from a glass milk bottle instead, as most race winners have done since.

Meyer followed his success in 1935, forming Champion Drivers, Inc., to promote racing, along with nine other top racers.

He had a successful 1936 season, winning at Altoona, placing second at the difficult Ascot track, and winning his third Indianapolis 500 (in the Ring Free Special Miller, at an average speed of 109.1 mph.

Following the suggestion of former race winner, Tommy Milton, that year he became the first driver to receive the Pace Car as part of the race winnings.

Meyer came close to winning a (then-record) fourth 500 in 1939, in the Bowes Seal Fast Special Miller. Battling Shaw with just four laps to go, Meyer lost control and spun; while unhurt, Meyer's race was lost. He sold the Miller to Rex Mays the next year, going back to becoming a mechanic—or, rather an engine builder: he went into partnership with Dale Drake, taking over Offenhauser's engine plant. Meyer-Drake Offys would dominate Indianapolis for most of the next two decades, powering every winner until 1968.

Post-driving career
Meyer joined Ford in 1964, and through worked on development of the Ford V8, which powered four 500 winners in that time.

Meyer's wife June did not even know he was racing in the 1928 Indianapolis 500. Earlier in the day she was in Pennsylvania picking up a wrecked car and after that went to see her brother-in-law Eddie Meyer race in Reading. She found out about her husband's victory after the track announcer in Reading asked the crowd to give a big hand to Eddie Meyer, the brother of the Indianapolis 500 winner.

Death and legacy

Liegau-Augustusbad

Liegau-Augustusbad is a district of Radeberg, Landkreis Bautzen, Saxony. As of 2012 it had about 2000 inhabitants and is located on the Große Röder river on the northern edge of the Dresden Heath. Formerly named Liegau it was renamed Liegau-Augustusbad in 1922 to acknowledge the Augustusbad Spa in the district.

Spas
The district formerly had a number of health spas, now closed and converted to other uses.

The Silberberg on the eastern edge of Liegau was criss-crossed by several mine tunnels dating back to the 16th century, from which silver was mined for a short time. In 1717 the mayor of the city of Radeberg, Christoph Seydel, discovered in this former tunnel some lightly carbonated veins of water. This discovery began the time of the (healing) baths in Liegau.

In a 1911 article the Encyclopedia Britannica described the Spa as follows: AUGUSTUSBAD, a watering-place of Germany, in the kingdom of Saxony, 10 m. E. from Dresden, close to Radeberg, in a pleasant valley. Pop. 900. It has five saline chalybeate springs, used both for drinking and bathing, and specific in feminine disorders, rheumatism, paralysis and neuralgia. The spa is largely frequented in summer and has agreeable public rooms and gardens.

Augustusbad
The Augustusbad was named after Augustus the Strong, the Elector of Saxony, who had barrels of water from the springs delivered to his palace in Dresden for medicinal use. In 1896 the Leipzig pharmacist Doctor Willmar Schwabe purchased the spa and united it with other properties, forming a foundation for the poor and needy.

After the end of the Second World War in 1945 the spa was occupied by the Red Army. In 1959 it became public property of the DDR, and from 1959 until German reunification in 1989 it was used as a police training school. In 1992 the spa was transferred to the newly-founded "Dr. Willmar Schwabesche Heimstättenstiftung" foundation. Unfortunately, after the healthcare reform in 1996, the attempt to revive the facility through construction of a new clinic and refurbishment of other buildings was stopped.

Herrmannsbad
The landowner Carl Herrmann discovered springs on his property in the 1840s. In 1852 he opened a bathhouse, in 1853 the Curbadrestaurant. In 1857, the Herrmannsbad in Liegau already consisted of a bathhouse with medical care and several buildings to accommodate the bathers. In 1878 a park-like garden was built at the bath. In the first half of the 20th century, the bath was closed and the buildings converted to residential use.

Flussbad an der Röder
The existence of a simple bathing place on the course of the Große Röder is already known as early as 1909. In 1922 the Flussbad an der Röder was officially opened by the local association and operated by the town council. Due to the opening of the new family bath the river bath was closed in 1931.

Familienbad
In 1929 the Berliner Landparzellierungsgesellschaft (LAPAG) (Berlin Land Subdivision Company) built an outdoor swimming pool, the so-called "Family Bath" (Familienbad). In the first few years, numerous events were held in the new outdoor pool, and it attracted large numbers of visitors. After the Second World War, the property was initially used as a children's camp and open-air stage. Necessary repairs to continue the bathing business failed. In the 1980s bungalows were built on a part of the former bathing area; another part was reused by the local fishing association for a pond. After the German reunification the remaining parts of the facility collapsed and were overgrown by the forest.

what are normative, coercive and mimetic isomorphism? Comment Suggestion
The article says there are three types of institutional isomorphism, but doesn't define these terms. This should be a simple fix.

In addition, Mizruchi and Fein (1999) say these are not distinct types of isomorphism, but rather ways for isomorphism to merge. Robertekraut (talk) 19:52, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Pronounciation?
Is this IPA transcription [tʲi:ɾʲ n̪ˠa n̪ˠo:g] really correct? The symbol "ˠ" doesn't even exist on the Help:IPA page. The one I find resembling it most is "ɣ" but I doubt it should be pronounced like that. Please confirm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.70.145.44 (talk) 11:29, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, it is correct. The symbol "ˠ" means velarization, which occurs for all broad consonants of the Irish language. See also Irish phonology if interested. It's not easy, I know :) Torzsmokus (talk) 16:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Parallels
The Chinese legend "The Flowering Peach Tree" wich took place in the mountains, & the Japanese story of Urashima Tarō wich took place in the sea, are identicle for the most part. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.122.193 (talk) 22:55, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Not really. They have some superficial similarities such as leaving a magical place and finding that a greater amount of time has passed, and that's about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.104.132 (talk) 23:43, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Other than the time difference offset in the stories little is similar, no Irish texts would have been in Japan at the time and vice versa, considering The Tir na nOg story predates the Japanese story; The Fenian cycle starts in the 8th century, the Japanese story appears in the Muromachi period in the 15th century. Most mythologies around the world show similar structures, themes, and concepts, without a historical genetic link it is highly dubious to speculate.TheBookishOne (talk) 00:32, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Specifics
I have put information specific only to Tir na nog here, to have separate articles for the individual subjects of Mag Mell and Tir na nog. It might be useful to have a combined article, something under Otherworld, which would link to the pages individually.--Cuchullain 05:59, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Spelling
Why is it spelled Tir na nÓg instead of Tir na nóg? — J I P | Talk 11:23, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The n- is a prefix to the word Óg (youth). The "Óg" is capitalized for the same reason Youth is capitalized in "Land of Youth". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cuchullain (talk • contribs).

 * Thanks. This Gaelic or whatever seems to have different spelling rules as most other languages. Finnish, for example, would probably spell it like Tir na Nóg. — J I P | Talk 06:49, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

In most tales, Oisin returned to Eire after 300 years had passed, not 100 as this page states. In fact under the article on Niamh it states 300 years. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.168.13.143 (talk • contribs).

Fictional Uses
I wonder if it might not be useful to link to authors and/or book series which have used Tir na nÓg in some way in their settings? For example Joel Rosenberg used it as the name for the fantasy setting of his cross-over series "Keepers of the Hidden Way".--Crossmr 23:52, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't think so, lists of that type aren't very encyclopedic and are typically unmaintainable.--Cúchullain t/ c 00:06, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Any information available on whether JRR Tolkien used this as part inspiration for The Undying Lands? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.203.211.6 (talk) 13:30, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Nine Princes in Amber also refers to Tír na nÓg by name, but with a different concept, apparently. I guess that adding references to literature which interpret "Tír na nÓg" in it's own way isn't helpful. --Klaws (talk) 13:11, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure what it was about, exactly, but David Gemmell mentiones the phrase "Tir na Nog" in one of his Rigante novels (either "Sword in the Storm" or "Midnight Falcon", I think it was Midnight Falcon), but he uses it to refer to a person. He explains, via a mystic " is Tir Na Nog, which means he is a chosen one". I don't know if this information helps at all, but I just wanted to share. Old English/Irish history influences many of Gemmell's stories. 213.51.103.167 (talk) 16:27, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Embryonic Stem Cells gene
I don't know exactly how to edit very well but I hear that the gene which maintains immortality in embryonic stem cells was named Nanog after Tir na nOg. Would somebody like to add this or maybe it isn't worth adding as part of the article? Lachy123 (talk) 03:08, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Here's a "scholarly" reference for this - in quotes because I'm not sure *what* counts as a scholarly reference for a gene name:

 * Kaoru Mitsui et al. "The Homeoprotein Nanog Is Required for Maintenance of Pluripotency in Mouse Epiblast and ES Cells." Cell 2003 113(5): 631-642, doi:10.1016/S0092-8674(03)00393-3:

 * "We explored functions of these genes by constitutive expression in ES cell and targeted gene disruption. Here, we report that one of them, which we now call Nanog for Tir Na Nog (land of the ever young), maintains pluripotency of both ICM and ES cells independently of LIF/Stat3." (from Introduction) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.9.143.231 (talk) 05:26, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure if that information had already been added and later removed. I think it would be interesting to have it so, although it doesn't really qualify as a reference in "Pop Culture", I added it to that section. Jfpascoal (talk) 18:52, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Tír na hÓige
Irish folklore also often has Tír na hÓige "land of youth" (vs. Tír na nÓg "land of the young (people)"   I think Tír na hÓige is the Ulster version, and perhaps Connacht as well.  Should this perhaps be included too?   Also, should a literal translation of the Irish be provided?  There is no "eternal/ever" in the Irish. Cmconraoi (talk) 21:09, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Religion...surely not?
I noticed that there's a "WikiProject Religion" template on this page. Surely Tír na nÓg belongs in the realms of mythology, rather than religion. To be religion, presumably people have to believe it to be true and that such a belief has some meaning for their lives. I don't think Tír na nÓg qualifies. Bluewave (talk) 11:54, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * We-ell, they might have done once I guess. I have not noticed the customs on this, which must have been discussed somewhere given all the mythological articles about the place. Might be worth raising on the wikiproject page. Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

 * No, religion is correct. Look up Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism, for example.
 * * Septegram * Talk * Contributions * 21:39, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Meaning
Not very encyclopaedic to have a "rough" meaning so I've changed it. Tír na nÓg is best translated as "The Land of the Young". Yes, there's only one definite article in the Irish, but that's just because two would be against the rules. The expression is still definite overall so should have two articles in English. Óg is the noun meaning a "young person, youth or young animal". The word for the concept of "youth" as in "young-ness" is Óige so the Irish for the original "rough meaning" would be Tír na hÓige.

I'll leave it to someone with a better idea/references to figure out whether Tír na hÓige worth mentioning as an alternate as suggested above, but I suspect that Tír na nÓg (or rather Tír inna n-Óc) is the older/original formulation.

☸ Moilleadóir ☎ 07:38, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Oisin In Tir Na N-Og
I added content on "Oisin in Tir Na N-Og" and put a citation for the plot summary. I considered making the story have its own page, but felt it would be better to include it in this article to build up the mythology of Tir Na N-Og. Mags0518 (talk) 20:39, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Media/Video Game Appearance
Tir Na N-Og makes an appearance in the video game Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon. Is it ok to add it as a media appearance to the Wikipedia page? CcfUk2018 (talk) 18:09, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Valle de Trápaga-Trapagaran

Valle de Trápaga-Trapagaran (Trapagaran, Valle de Trápaga) is a town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, in the autonomous community of Basque Country, northern Spain. It is located near Barakaldo, Portugalete and Ortuella. Iron ore has been mined here since Roman times and the two parts of the municipality, which are at different altitudes, are linked by a funicular railway. According to the 2019 census, it has 11,985 inhabitants.

Geography
Valle de Trápaga-Trapagaran is located 12 km from Bilbao in the Triano mountain range in the province of Biscay. The municipality is divided into two zones. Ninety percent of the population live in the lower zone in the neighbourhoods of Durañona, El Juncal, Elguero, Galindo-Salcedillo, Valle de Trápaga, which is the administrative centre, Trápaga-Caused and Ugarte. The upper zone is in the mountains of Triano, and the neighbourhoods here are La Arboleda, Matamoros-Burzaco, Parcocha-Barrionuevo and La Reineta. The European route E70 running along the north coast of Spain, passes the town.

The upper zone is connected to the lower zone by the BI-3755 road and by a funicular railway; the funicular is the only one in the country with horizontal cabins, and allows panoramic views over the Estuary of Bilbao. The town of Valle de Trápaga-Trapagaran expanded with the mining activities and most of the buildings date from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The church of San José Obrero is built in Romanesque style while the church of San Juan Bautista is neoclassical, as is the city hall, which was built in the first decade of the twentieth century.

Iron ore has been mined here since Roman times and there was a great increase in mining activity and residential development in the upper zone after the building of the railway in the late nineteenth century. The iron ore deposits became exhausted in the mid-twentieth century and now the area is residential and recreational, although traces of its industrial past remain. Many of the former mines have been flooded and turned into recreational areas with sports facilities and lakes stocked with fish.

Talk:Gloucester, Ontario

Merger proposal
I think Gloucester Township, Ontario should be merged to this article. The Cake 2 (talk) 08:01, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Opposed: Gloucester township was a large area which extended over much of the east bank of the Rideau River. Many areas (Billings Bridge, etc) were distant from what in the 1980's became the town of Gloucester. Furthermore, Gloucester township existed for a much longer time than the town of Gloucester (20yrs). Denis (talk) 21:17, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

 * In reply to the arguments presented by the following reviewer (184.145.42.19) in support of the merger, I would note first that the overlap does not make irrelevance: there are entries for historical townships, such as York, or Waterloo. Yet there is tremendous historical overlap between the townships they discuss, and the towns that grew from them. Second, because the article in its present form does not sufficiently distinguish the township and municipality in the eyes of the reviewer, does not make the subject any less relevant, nor does it diminish the need to maintain separate entries. Rather, it argues in favour of expanding the respective articles. Denis (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:43, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Support: The articles themselves have too much overlap to ignore. It would be relatively easy to make maps showing the progression of Gloucester's boundaries as parts of it were hived off to Ottawa. There's no reason what Denis delineates couldn't be explained satisfactorily in the merged article, and frankly, much of it already is (e.g. list of reeves of the former township).184.145.42.19 (talk) 23:53, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Support: Content of both pages would be assisted by the merge and it would remove considerable duplication. The one reference on the township articles seems to cover the naming of the township, which would therefore also apply to the naming of the suburb. Klbrain (talk) 18:23, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Omari Banks

Omari Ahmed Clement Banks (born 17 July 1982) is an Anguillan musician and former cricketer, who appeared in 10 Test matches for the West Indies, as well as domestic matches for the Leeward Islands. In 2011, Banks began to pursue his musical career professionally and has been less involved in playing regional cricket, and officially retired from cricket on 31 January 2012.

Test career
The son of noted Anguillian musician Bankie Banx, he became the first Anguillian to play Test cricket in May 2003. During his first innings, despite picking up three wickets, he conceded 204 runs in 40 overs, which was at the time the most runs conceded by a Test debutant, although it has since been surpassed by Jason Krejza. His lower order batting was confident and assured, and he played a significant part in the highest successful fourth-innings chase in Test history, remaining 47 not out in West Indies 418 for 7 against Australia at the Antigua Recreation Ground in 2003.

Domestic career
Banks played for the Leeward Islands from 2000 to 2011. During the 2001 season, Banks played at Leicester. He later played for Carnforth Cricket Club, in the summer of 2006 in Northern Premier League. He averaged 54.6 with the bat, whilst taking 27 wickets at a brief spell at the Lancashire club, before being called up to the West Indies 'A' team on the tour of England. In October 2007 he was signed by Somerset; due to Anguilla's status as a British overseas territory, he does not count as an overseas player.

On 9 July 2009 he was suspended for 12 days by the England and Wales Cricket Board disciplinary panel for ball tampering, he was found guilty of running his thumb and fingernails over the ball during Somerset's 2nd XI match against Essex at Vale on 1 July 2009. Somerset released the all-rounder after the close of the 2009 season, with Brian Rose stating "He hasn't had the performances to justify another contract."

Banks officially retired from professional cricket on 25 January 2012 to focus on his musical career.

Music career
Banks' first single "Move On" was released on iTunes on 17 January 2012 as part of Bankie Banx's album Just Cool. His upcoming album is currently untitled and expected to be released in Spring 2012. One of the first singles on his album is "Move On" a semi-biographical song about his transition from cricket to music. Banks explained to Basil Walters of the Jamaica Observer, "In life we tend to go through different ups and downs, but the most important thing is that we move on and grow from it. That's what the song is about really. I wrote the song and the music, but on the track itself it has a number of big name musicians like Junior Jazz, Glen Browne, Robbie Lyn and Sly Dunbar. Steven Stanley produced the track."

Omari Banks and his band Eleven performed at the Miss Anguilla pageant in August 2011 as part of Anguilla's Summer Festival.

Even as a cricketer Banks made various radio and television appearances and discussed his passion for music and the hope of one day pursuing music full-time. He appeared on the syndicated Caribbean entertainment program Caribbean Soundtrack in summer 2010 His 2014 music video "No Point to Prove" featured Peetah Morgan of the group Morgan Heritage.

Omari released his latest album Move On (Deluxe Edition) on 17 February 2015. He recently embarked on a tour of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to promote new music which will be released in late 2015.

In 2015, he toured Europe with Morgan Heritage. In 2016, he released the single "System Set", featuring Duane Stephenson.

Omari Banks won Best new artist 2017 by Irie Jam Radio online awards and was nominated for 2017 artist of the year at Linkage Radio awards. In May 2018, Omari Banks premiered Reggae Summertime video in India.

Fred Cress

Frederick Harold Cress (10 July 1938 – 14 October 2009) was a British painter who migrated to Australia and won the Archibald Prize in 1988 with a portrait of John Beard.

Cress was born in Poona, British Raj, but went to England with his parents in 1948, when he was ten. He was educated at the Birmingham College of Art in England, and migrated to Australia in 1962 as a "ten pound Pom", meaning that he only had to pay ten pound for his fare to Australia. Cress met the painter Anne Judell and married her in 1967; they divorced in 1991. He started his career painting figuratively but became well known for his abstract work in the late 60s and 70s. He returned to figurative painting in the late 80s after he won the Archibald Prize with a portrait of his friend and colleague, John Beard. He was made a Member of the Order of Australia in 2003 for services to visual arts.

In 1990 Cress bought a 17th-century stone farmhouse in Southern Burgundy, France. He spent the next 20 years of his life living half the year in France and half the year in Sydney with his partner, the photographer, Victoria Fernandez. Many of Cress's later works have visual references to his time spent in France.

Cress was diagnosed with prostate cancer in January 2003. In 2009 he declined to continue with treatment while he worked on his last exhibition, entitled 'End Game One', held in Australian Galleries, Paddington. He died on 14 October 2009.

1981 CFL season

The 1981 CFL season is considered to be the 28th season in modern-day Canadian football, although it is officially the 24th Canadian Football League season.

CFL News in 1981
The Eastern and Western Football Conferences, which had carried on as separate and autonomous entities since the founding of the CFL in 1958, agreed to a full merger prior to the start of the 1981 season.

With the merger, the Eastern and Western Football Conferences were dissolved and renamed as the East and West Divisions.

The merger authorized the CFL to have full authority over decisions, including the adoption of a full interlocking schedule for both divisions. All nine teams played each other twice, once home and once away, regardless of their affiliated division. Other than during the three seasons of the CFL's U.S. expansion era from 1993 to 1995, the League's teams played at least one game home and one away versus every other team in the League since the 1981 season; this continued until the 2021 season.

In addition, the merger set up the CFL Board of Governors and the CFL Management Council to replace the Executive Committee and the General Managers Committee. After the 1980 season, after owning the team for over ten years, Montreal Alouettes owner Sam Berger retired and sold the team to Nelson Skalbania, who brought in high priced NFL talent who did not adapt to the Canadian game, bringing a terrible losing season to Montreal (they did, however, make the playoffs due to the weak division that year), and with it, a loss of fan support, and he lost money and because of the high priced talent he bankrupted the team. So the team folded after the season, but a year later, a new team, the Montreal Concordes, owned by Expos owner Charles Bronfman, took over the team's players and history.

The East was so weak this season that the Calgary Stampeders, despite being the West's fifth place team, finished with a better record than the second place Ottawa Rough Riders. Ottawa nevertheless upset the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and qualified for the Grey Cup despite winning only five games in the regular season finishing seventh overall.

The ensuing controversy over having a 5–11 team playing in the Grey Cup played a large part in eventually persuading the league to implement a cross-over rule permitting a fourth place team in one division to qualify for the playoffs in place of a third place team in the other division with a weaker record. Nevertheless, the current rule makes no provision to allow a fifth place team to make the playoffs even if its record is better than that of the second place team in the other division, which occurred in 2018.

Adam Vaughan

Adam G. Vaughan (born July 3, 1961) is a Canadian politician who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) from 2014 until 2021. Vaughan represented the Toronto area riding of Spadina—Fort York as a member of the Liberal Party. He previously sat on Toronto City Council, representing Ward 20 Trinity—Spadina from 2006 until he resigned in 2014 to run in a federal by-election for Trinity—Spadina.

During his time as an MP, Vaughan served as the parliamentary secretary to prime minister on intergovernmental affairs from 2015 to 2017, and to the minister of families, children and social development on housing and urban affairs from 2017 to 2021. Prior to his political career, he was a radio and television journalist. In August 2021, Vaughan announced that he would not seek re-election to Parliament.

Background
Vaughan is married to Nicole Anatol and has a son and a daughter from previous relationships. He was previously married to journalist Suhana Meharchand. His father, Colin Vaughan, was a noted architect, television journalist and former city councillor, who was CityTV's political reporter until his death in 2000.

Media career (1982 – 2006)
Adam Vaughan worked at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute's radio station CKLN from 1982 to 1987, and was manager of the station from 1985 to 1987. He joined CITY-TV in 1987 as a producer of CityWide. He left in 1989 to join the board of the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters.

In 1990, he joined Metro Morning on CBL as a segment producer. He subsequently joined CBLT in 1994, covering City Hall as a municipal reporter, producer, and director. Vaughan has covered Toronto Police Service, Toronto City Hall, Queen's Park and Parliament Hill in his career. He returned to the Citytv team in 2000.

Vaughan has written for Toronto Life magazine and the Toronto Star. Before becoming a journalist, Adam Vaughan was a cartoonist for Books in Canada, Quill and Quire, Canadian Forum and several other publications.

After Marilyn Lastman, the wife of the then mayor of Toronto Mel Lastman, was caught shoplifting from an Eaton's store in Toronto, the mayor threatened to kill Vaughan if he reported on his family.

Municipal politics (2006 – 2014)
Vaughan ran in Trinity—Spadina - Ward 20 in the 2006 municipal election. The seat had been vacated by Olivia Chow who left the city for federal politics. He won the seat defeating Helen Kennedy, Chow's executive assistant, by 2,300 votes.

After the 2010 mayoral election, Vaughan was an outspoken critic of then-Toronto Mayor Rob Ford.

As a member of City Council Vaughan sat on the Toronto Police Services Board, the Planning and Growth Management Committee, the Toronto Arts Council, Artscape Board, the Board of Trustees for the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Harbourfront Centre Board. Additionally he sat on the city's Heritage Board, and the city's Preservation Board.

Federal politics (2014 – 2021)
In 2014, he ran as the Liberal candidate in a federal by-election to succeed New Democratic Party MP Olivia Chow, who had resigned to run for Mayor of Toronto. At the time. the Liberals had their fewest MPs in history. Vaughan resigned his city council seat on May 13, 2014, several days after the Trinity—Spadina by-election was called. He defeated NDP candidate Joe Cressy by 6,745 votes, a nearly 2-to-1 margin.

Vaughan was quickly promoted to the Liberal front bench as critic for urban affairs and housing.

In the October 2015 federal election, Vaughan ran in Spadina—Fort York, essentially the southern portion of his old riding. His main opponent was Chow, the person who he had replaced twice, first on Toronto City Council and then later as MP. Once the election was called, Vaughan initially trailed Chow in public opinion polls. However, on election day, in part due to a massive surge of Liberal support in Toronto, he defeated Chow convincingly, taking 54.5% of the vote to Chow's 27.4%.

On December 2, 2015, he was appointed the parliamentary secretary to the prime minister for intergovernmental affairs.

In August, 2021, Vaughan announced he would not be seeking re-election in the 2021 Canadian federal election. He was succeeded by Kevin Vuong, who was nominated as a Liberal, but saw party support for him dropped after the revelation of sexual assault charges against him in 2019.

Yamaha FJR1300

The Yamaha FJR1300A and FJR1300AE/AS are sport touring motorcycles made by Yamaha Motor Company. Both models have a 1,298 cc inline-four engine. The AE/AS model has an electronically controlled clutch and gear shifting system called YCC-S. The clutch and transmissions of the AE/AS models are identical to that of the standard FJR model.

History
The FJR1300 was introduced to Europe in 2001, before arriving in North America in 2002, with the 2003 model year designation, and offered in a non-ABS version only. The 2003 model garnered several awards in the sport touring category from various magazines.

The 2004 North American models included both a non-ABS version with traditional blue anodized brake calipers and a new ABS version with silver calipers. Other refinements included an upgrade to the suspension rates, 320 mm front brake discs (was 298 mm), and a fairing pocket for small items.

The 2005, North American model year remained structurally unchanged with a non-ABS and ABS model.

In 2006, the U.S. and rest of the world model years synchronized with the introduction of what has become known as the 'Gen-II' version of the machine. The design changes included significant trailing arm changes, revised final drive ratio, a curved radiator exhibiting a larger surface area, instrumentation changes, an upgraded alternator and significant attention to airflow changes to deal with reported heat issues in previous years. Yamaha added adjustable vents to the FJR1300, allowing the rider to direct air closer to or away from the body. Starting with the 2006 models Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) and a linked braking scheme Yamaha calls 'Unified Braking System' (UBS) became standard.

Also, the FJR1300AS model (FJR1300AE in the U.S.A. and Canada) was introduced which had a semi-automatic transmission. The AE variant was discontinued for 2010, although the AS model continued to be sold in markets outside of the US and Canada.

For 2007, some very minor changes were made to the ECU to deal with potential issues related to altitude changes under certain circumstances. In 2008 changes were made to throttle 'feel', to improve low speed on/off throttle transitions. As well as Yamaha changed suppliers for the ABS system. Further refinements in the throttle control were introduced with the 2009 model.

For 2012 the previously optional heated handgrips became standard.

For 2013 the FJR1300 received a substantial number of updates, becoming the 'Gen-III' version. Bodywork is all new on the front half of the bike for better airflow and engine heat management, and a new faster-acting windshield mechanism was introduced. Front turn signal/position lights are now LEDs and there are LED accent lights around the headlights, and there is now one horn instead of two on prior years. In markets outside the US and Canada, the AS (AutoShift) model received an electrically adjustable suspension and inverted front forks - those suspension changes were introduced into the North American models in the following year as a model option known as the 'ES'.

The dash was revised to include three user-customizable informational pages. In addition to new controls for D-Mode and cruise control, several hand controls were changed.

Mechanically, the engine was given plated-on (rather than pressed in) cylinder linings for better heat dissipation. The ECU is new and now employs Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCCT) system, which is a ride-by-wire system. The implementation on the FJR1300 includes 'D-Mode', which incorporates two driving modes, 'sport' and 'touring', the primary difference being smoothness of throttle response. In addition to that, the new ECU incorporates as standard has an integrated Traction Control System (TCS) which can be disabled and cruise control. Cruise control is limited to 80 mph in 2013 (raised in 2014 to 100 mph).

In 2014 the FJR1300 split off into two models: the FJR1300A and the FJR1300ES. The FJR1300ES adds inverted forks and electronically adjustable suspension over the FJR1300A. Both models include an update in which the cruise control programming was changed to raise the maximum set-speed from 83MPH to 100MPH.

The suspension on the ES model can be adjusted via a menu system built into the gauge cluster. The front forks have adjustable damping, with three main settings (Soft, Standard, Hard) and seven adjustments within each level for fine-tuning. The rear shock has electronically adjustable preload, with four settings. While the damping can be adjusted on the fly, the preload can only be changed while stopped.

In December 2015 Yamaha revised the FJR for 2016 giving the machine a 6-speed transmission (both in standard and auto-shift versions), slipper/assist clutch, LED headlights and taillights, and a revised instrument cluster data layout. On the auto-shift and Electronically adjustable suspension versions progressive LED cornering lights were added as well.

Current sub-models outside the U.S. and Canada are the A (standard), AE (with electronic suspension and cornering LEDs), and AS (which has the features of the AE and also includes the YCC-S system replacing the gear shift actuator and clutch).

Engine
The FJR1300 has a 1298 cc transverse-mounted inline-four engine with four valves per cylinder.

Transmission
The FJR1300 uses a five-speed sequential manual gearbox (six-speed from 2016 model onwards) with wide-ratio gears. The final-drive is via shaft, encased within the swingarm, which has mono-shock suspension with a remote quick-set two-position adjustable pre-load.

The FJR1300AE/AS model has an electrically-actuated gearshift and an EFM auto-clutch, the entirety of the system Yamaha calls YCC-S. It's a semi-automatic transmission, so there is no hand-clutch lever on this model. Instead, the YCC-S system allows the rider to shift using a set of manually-operated push-buttons on the left handlebar or via the standard foot-operated gear shift lever. The clutch is controlled by engine power, the computer momentarily reduces the fuel feed, and the solenoid affects the gear change allowing gear shifts to complete in approximately 0.2 seconds. The gearbox pattern is also unconventional in that neutral is at the bottom end of the range, otherwise, the gearbox is identical to the A model. The ECU automatically controls the electronic clutch and ignition timing to ensure smooth gear shifting and will actuate the clutch at standstill. Stalling the engine is not normally possible.

The 2016 model, introduced in December 2015, has a 6-speed transmission and the traditional shift models are equipped with a slipper clutch. Of note is that the new clutch can be retro-fitted to prior models of the FJR1300 if owners are so inclined

Chassis
The frame of the FJR1300 is a twin-spar design manufactured from aluminum alloy; the engine is a fully stressed member.

Electrical system
The FJR1300 has a standard 12 volt, negative ground electrical system. The 2006 and later models have a fused, switched cigarette-lighter style accessory jack in the left central locking glovebox. The 2003 U.S. model does not have a glovebox or electrical outlet; while model years 2004 and 2005 have glove boxes, they do not include the electrical outlet. As well, 2006 and later models have larger alternators and so can support more electrical accessories than their predecessors.

Other
The FJR1300 has an electrically adjusted windshield controlled by a rocker switch on the handlebars. In Generation I and Gen II models, by default the shield returns to its lowest position when the key is off, however some riders choose to disable the 'return' function. In the Gen III model, the windshield maintains its position until changed with the rocker switch, even when the ignition is turned off.

A number of changes were made beginning with the 2006 model year, including adding a rider-adjustable airflow system.

All Gen-II AE/AS models (and some A models, depending on year and market) have standard integrated heated handlebar grips with speed-sensitive adjustment (available as an aftermarket OEM kit for models not so equipped by the factory). The handlebars are position adjustable, with 3 settings, and the seat is adjustable to high or low, with about an inch between the two.

Locking side panniers are supplied as standard in most markets and some markets include cloth 'liners' which can be used as a carry-all for the contents of the cases. Each case will take a full-face helmet. Factory options include foot protectors, handguards, fairing protectors, larger windshield, and a color-coordinated top box to name but a few.

Many riders equip their bikes with a servo-operated cruise control system. There are several providers supplying the market. 2013 and later models have cruise control standard.

Police models
In 2008 in Ireland it replaced the Honda ST1100 Pan-European and the BMW R1150RT in the Traffic Corps of Ireland's National Police Force, the Garda Síochána, and stayed in service until 2016 when it was itself replaced by the BMW R1200RT. In the UK, the FJR1300 has replaced the Honda ST1300 Pan-European as the patrol motorcycle with several police forces, following that model's withdrawal due to concerns over high-speed handling. In addition the FJR is used by the Blood Bikes organisation, volunteers who move blood and or organs around the UK between hospitals. The FJR is the patrol vehicle used by the police force of Trinidad and Tobago including the units in the convoy of the President and the Prime Minister. It is also used as the standard patrol motorcycle of the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee. The Danish, French and Australian Federal Police, the Lithuanian Police and the Spanish Guardia Civil also use the FJR1300. Vietnamese Police only use for special events like Xi Jinping visit or Trump - Kim summit.

Both outfitters had different styles in modifying the civilian version of the machine for police service. Enforcement Motors removed the Yamaha crash bars, rear trunk, and foot wind deflectors, opting for larger "canyon cages", a larger and heavier aluminum fabricated trunk and large lights mounted high. EVS opts for keeping the factory Yamaha parts, with a much narrower overall body, and adding lighting to flow with the motorcycle. The Enforcement Motors package moved the center of gravity up to about knee height for an average rider, while the EVS package kept the original Yamaha designed center of gravity, at slightly above the ankle.

Yamaha's factory FJR1300 police edition was formally introduced into the United States in 2018. The US version does not have the ES electronically controlled suspension, opting for a more traditional suspension setup. They have taller front windscreens, wind deflectors on the handguards, and wind deflectors mounted by the feet. The rear trunk and crash bars are Yamaha Police specific. The 1300P has ABS with linked braking and integrated siren and light controls for police equipment. The engine power output is the same as the civilian versions, at 124 wheel horsepower and 99.9 wheel foot lbs of torque. The US versions are the newer 6 speed motorcycles with LED lighting.

Multiple jurisdictions have tested and switched to the motorcycle for its comfort, handling, acceleration, and factory integrated controls of police equipment. The St George Police department in St George Utah, as well as the Logan Police Department in Logan Utah have both switched to the motorcycles. The St George Police Department runs the motorcycles year round, on every day of the year except severe weather, due to the desert climate it is located in. Several other agencies across the United States have also made the switch due to the Yamaha's ruggedness, dependability, and control. Butte-Silver Bow Police Department in Montana, several smaller agencies in South Carolina and others have gone to the Yamaha for price and performance compared to other police motorcycle manufacturers.

House of Aumont

The House of Aumont is an ancient French noble house which takes its name from Aumont, a small commune in the department of the Somme. The dukedom of Aumont in the peerage of France was created in 1665 for Antoine d'Aumont de Rochebaron (1601–1669), Marquis of Isles. For over two centuries, the Dukes of Aumont held the position of First Gentleman of the Bedchamber to the king (Premier gentilhomme de la chambre du Roi).

The d'Aumont family became extinct in 1888 with Louis Marie Joseph d'Aumont, last duke of Aumont, who died single and without children.

History
This illustrious family of great antiquity descends from Jean, sieur d'Aumont, who accompanied Louis IX on the Crusade. Already powerful by the 14th century, during the Hundred Years' War the Aumonts served as military commanders to the French kings. Towards the end of that century, the family changed sides to the Dukes of Burgundy, but transferred its loyalties back to the Kings of France after the death of Charles the Bold in 1477.

Jean V d'Aumont, a Lieutenant-General in the French Army and Governor of Burgundy, was a key player under Louis XII and Francis I.

Jean VI d'Aumont (1552–1595) a Marshal of France and appointed an inaugural Knight of the Holy Spirit in 1578, fought against the Huguenots under the last of the Valois kings; he was among the first to recognize Henry IV, and was appointed Governor of Champagne and of Brittany, where he faced battles against the Catholic League. He died at the Château de Comper fighting Philippe Emmanuel, Duke of Mercœur, the League's leader. His grandson Antoine d'Aumont de Rochebaron (1601––1669) was a Marshal of France (1651), Governor of Paris (1662), and first Duke of Aumont. He was Marquis of Villequier, Isle, Nolay and Chappes, as well as Baron of Estrabonnes, before being created Duke of Aumont and a Peer of France in 1665. He had played an important role in the Battle of Rethel in December 1650.

The family has also held positions of ecclesiastic notability. Roger D'Aumont (1645–1651) was anointed Bishop of Avranche in the Catholic Diocese of Coutances, which includes the renowned abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel.

Dukes of Aumont

 * Louis-Marie-Victor d'Aumont (1632–1704), 2nd Duke of Aumont (previously Marquis of Chappes and Villequier), was a royal courtier under Louis XIV, who married on 21 November 1660 Madeleine, daughter of Michel le Tellier, marquis de Barbezieux (1603–1685).
 * Louis d'Aumont (pl) (1667–1723), 3rd Duke of Aumont (Marquis of Villequier until 1704), was a politician and French Ambassador to London, who married Olympe, daughter of Antoine de Brouilly, marquis de Piennes.

 * Alexandre d'Aumont (1736-1814), 7th Duke of Aumont, devoted to Louis XVI, helped him escape from his prison during the Revolution in the misguided flight to Varennes.
 * Louis-Marie-Celeste d'Aumont (1762–1831), 8th Duke of Aumont (from 1814), was also Duke of Piennes, etc. He emigrated during the Revolution and served in the army of the royalists, as also in the Swedish army. During the Hundred Days of Napoleon he effected a descent upon Normandy in the Bourbon interest, succeeding in the capture of Bayeux and Caen. Following his ancestors, he became Premier Gentilhomme of the Bedchamber to Louis XVIII, after the Restauration.
 * Adolphe-Henri-Aimery d'Aumont (1785–1849), 9th Duke of Aumont (also Marquis of Villequier, etc.).
 * Louis-Marie-Joseph d'Aumont (1809–1888), 10th Duke of Aumont (also Marquis of Villequier, etc.).
