 * I understand sir. I now live in Metro Vancouver Canada but I have many family members and relatives in Malaysia and I come from Malaysia...as I said in my wikipedia profile. My family legally immigrated to Canada in 1989. When I first visited Malaysia in June 2017, I was surprised to find out that Malaysia was about 16 hours ahead of Metro Vancouver and the US Pacific coast states of California/Washington State. I guess people ahead of us in the Far East want to "jump the gun" so to speak and make an edit because time is so much further in their time zone. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 23:51, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Picture is incorrect
The picture of the beginning of US 211 is incorrect. The pictured intersection is with Van Roijen Street. From the pictured intersection, if you turn 180 degrees, US 211 continues another 1.72 miles northeast until it ends at the Blackwell Road intersection.

History Section
What happened to the "History" section of the article? U.S. 211 used to exist in the District of Columbia. I had added a history section, and now it is gone.

Thank you for reverting this decision.

Allen (talk) 20:27, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Obviously the "Thank you ..." is sarcastic. Apparently the History item referred to was this:

US 211 continued east along U.S. Route 29 from Warrenton to a terminus in the District of Columbia until July 1980.

Where in DC was the terminus? I do recall seeing "U.S. 29/211" information up to the DC/VA border, and presumably the US 211 signs were taken down east of Warrenton because from then on US 211 was the same road as US 29. Please explain why that history was removed from here on Wikipedia.

Talk:Margot Honecker

Correct spelling?
Is her name Margo or Margot? Tim! (talk) 21:31, 1 October 2005 (UTC) I think Margot. I think that this article is not politically neutral.

Her Job Title
Was she Ministerin für Volksbildung (as in first paragraph) or Volksbildungsministerin (as in later section)? Even people who know some German will find this confusing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.197.170.130 (talk) 06:25, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Ministerin für Volksbildung--Frances K. (talk) 20:15, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Im not quite sure but I think the official title was masculine, "Minister für Volksbildung"--Frances K. (talk) 20:28, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Her name
I keep getting indigestion from this entry when it identifies her as Margot Honecker before she married Erich. Before she married Erich she was Margot Feist. Calling her by her married name when she was a child and then a (formidably ambitious) young woman, but BEFORE she got married is a gratuitous anachronism. And to the extent that she had already placed several little footprints on East Germany's history BEFORE she got married, using her "wrong" name for those early years risks confusing people trying to check out contemporary sources.

Or am I being unduly picky?

 * 1.  What do other people think?
 * 2.  Could/should we change her name, in the early "prenuptial" paragraphs to "Margot Feist"?
 * 3.  Is there a wiki-convention/best practi(cs)e on such matters or are we expected to apply common sense?   (I tend to prefer common sense; but that only works if  people who care enough to think about stuff agree with each other.)

Regards Charles01 (talk) 08:42, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

POV introduction, heavy bias
The introduction seems to me "a bit" POV and biased. It is full of references to Western mass media and newspapers like The Independent, The Huffington Post, etc :-/. In the lead. In a biography of a political person. Calling her a "Purple witch". The most "hated person in East Germany". Speaking about "kidnapping", "forced adoption" and "concentration camps for children" with just one reference to those "newspapers". I hope that after some days, when some users lose their interest in pushing their views in this article, we can create a serious introduction and improve the article. emijrp (talk) 10:34, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

 * I agree.  We are all, here, prisoners of our sources, of course.   And where you stick to English language sources, as a lot of folks did here, you are restricted to the bits that someone bothered to translate.   It's clear that a lot of people genuinely didn't like Margot very much (or at all) even in East Germany, and on top of that the whole business gets taken up and acid coated in the context of the east-west conflicts that provide a defining context for her life.   To some extent we're stuck with it; but there is nevertheless prominence here is given to stuff that is needlessly negative, especially in the intro section.   Wikipedia cannot help reflecting the opinions of those who contribute to its sources, but we should and can try to avoid tipping over into shameless bias.   Success Charles01 (talk) 10:45, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

 * No bias whatsoever. The Reliable Sources overwhelmingly are critical of her, and her own mouth was her worst enemy. Some people just don't have the luxury of having many people on her side. Her friends were extremest communists, not much in the way of 'middle ground' there. 68.19.0.114 (talk) 16:07, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Indeed. Per false balance and WP:UNDUE, Wikipedia articles are supposed to represent the mainstream view of topics.  They do not present all viewpoints equally, but rather present viewpoints based on their preponderance in reliable, independent sources.  People who are widely reviled in reliable source material cannot be presented as "OK" in Wikipedia articles.  -- Jayron 32 18:24, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Jayron32 is entirely correct. There is no bias in this article, as it simply presents the mainstream view on her legacy as presented in reliable sources. The critical information, such as her popular/widely used nickname "The Purple Witch", is exceedingly well sourced and was used prominently in numerous reliable sources reporting her death (eg., ). The idea that there is something wrong because the article is "full of references to Western mass media and newspapers" (as opposed to what exactly?), as if there is somehow something wrong with "western" sources, clearly demonstrates that emijrp has fundamentally misunderstood what Wikipedia is all about. Being a deceased "political person" does not exempt her from criticism when her legacy is overwhelmingly negative according to almost all sources, save a few extremist and openly stalinist sources which are positioned to the far left of the most left-wing party of any size in Germany; the sort of people who praise North Korea and so forth and who, like her, believe de-Stalinization was the worst event of the 20th century. --Tataral (talk) 00:17, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Just to add to the point, if the people objecting have reliable sources which present an alternative viewpoint, the solution would be to cite those sources and note the alternative viewpoint. If "non-western" sources treat her differently, so long as they meet the definition of reliable sources, then there's no problem with citing them and noting the differences of opinion.  -- Jayron 32 20:22, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I'd like to see a source that would meet RS standards that states that kidnapping children and an oppressive, Stalinist regime are "good things" in Margot's favor. Such a source would likely be extremely partisan, and would have to be presented in this light. 68.19.0.64 (talk) 08:12, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The question, of course, is not whether those are "good things" but what was done? - in more detail than we are likely ever to know - and was this woman's role in what happened?  I suspect there's an awful lot of me tooism going on here, where one journalist writes a learned article containing fifty factoids, and then half a dozen other journalists, spotting one of those fifty which ties in with the world view that they grew up with, jump in and copy it.   Thus a comfortable consensus emerges that helps us feel collectively good about ourselves.   Is it good that these things were done?   No, of course not.   Is it true that Margot Honecker was implicated?   Almost certainly.   Is it obvious why she seems to attract so much more visceral wiki-hatred than Erich Honecker or Walter Ulbricht?   Maybe to you:  not to me.   None of them were very nice people in my opinion, but Wikipedia carries more authority, and communicates knowledge more effectively, when it lets facts speak for themselves than when it starts dishing round the opinions.   And if ever that nice Mr Putin succeeds in reversing the outcome of the Cold War and breaking up the western alliance - and viewed from here he's made a pretty good start - will the Wikipedia consensus (or its Pravda equivalent) then swing round into support for the Honeckers and a whole lot of other pretty dreadful people?   I don't know, but human nature being what it is, nor am I confident!   Nevertheless, where the issue concerns not facts but opinions over what is good and what is bad, I suspect we would probably end up on the same side. Charles01 (talk) 08:57, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

I am going to cite here how Encyclopedia.com addresses the controversial issues regarding Margot Honecker. Encyclopedia.com article is really critical with her, but let's read how it is approached:

One of the handful of women to rise to a leadership position in the GDR, Margot Honecker was accused in 1992 of having forced political dissidents to surrender their children for adoption. She was also suspected of having authorized the building of prison-like barracks—called by some "Margot's KZ" (Margot's Concentration Camp)—in which several truant minors had been driven to commit suicide. Whatever their validity, these accusations would never be subjected to the scrutiny of a public trial, because Margot Honecker never returned to Germany to face these or any other charges. In July 1992, she fled Moscow for exile in Chile, finding refuge there with her daughter's family.

The New York Times says:

Education Ministry files found in 1991 seemed to confirm allegations, never proven, that Mrs. Honecker had forced people who were considered traitors to surrender their children for adoption. Opponents contended that hundreds of parents had been declared unfit to raise their children after trying to flee to the West or being convicted of espionage. The files cited only a half-dozen cases of children taken for adoption by “approved” Communist families.

And here is how Wikipedia does it:

She was also responsible for the regime's forced adoption of children of jailed dissidents or people who attempted to flee the communist dictatorship, and she is considered to have "left a cruel legacy of separated families". She also established prison-like institutions for children, including a camp at Torgau known as "Margot's concentration camp.

Can you see the difference, and ? And Encyclopedia.com & Wikipedia articles ignores her position on this topic (which I think it should be added to the article too): "Mrs. Honecker dismissed allegations that she had directed a program of forced adoptions: 'It didn't exist' she said". emijrp (talk) 14:47, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Many other, quality RS state that she was responsible for this, for example The Daily Telegraph:
 * According to historians, Margot Honecker was also behind much of the harshness of the repression meted out to dissidents and was active in organising a policy under which the children of “enemies of the state” – dissidents and people who attempted to flee to the West – were forcibly and permanently separated from their parents. Many were placed in foster homes or state adoption institutions, or with the families of childless Communist Party activists.
 * She probably denied any statement which didn't say East Germany was paradise on Earth, the most ideal society in the world, and perfect. If someone said there was repression in East Germany, she would deny it (and frequently did). There is no problem with including "she denied that forced adoptions took place" or something like that in this article. --Tataral (talk) 01:57, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

 * So, some sources say that the allegations were never proved and never examined in a public trial, while other sources say "according to historians" (which historians?). And only sources of one side are added. That is why I said the article is non-neutral, biased and unbalanced. emijrp (talk) 19:33, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

 * http://www.berliner-zeitung.de/ermittlungen-wegen-zwangsadoptionen-eingestellt-ein-verfahren-weniger-gegen-margot-honecker-17409162 The article says that the biological parents had three months to sue. Catch 22.Xx236 (talk) 10:31, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Bund Deutscher Mädel
The article says: "After graduating from elementary school, she was a member of the Nazi Party's girls' organisation Bund Deutscher Mädel from 1938 to 1945." linking to. I can't read German and the link seems to point to a summary, not full text.

It is a bit strange that Margot was a member of that organization. According to sources her parents were communists (anti-fascists) and her father was imprisoned in a Nazi camp. Gestapo searched their apartment several times. Also, the Encyclopedia.com article says she was a member of her father communist cell:

"Gotthard Feist returned to his family from the Buchenwald concentration camp a physical shadow of his former self, but morally unbroken. Entering her teen years, Margot was truly impressed by her father's fearless return to his illegal KPD activities, despite almost constant surveillance by Gestapo and other Nazi secret agents. She was soon the youngest member of her father's cell, taking risks as a "young comrade" even though she was not formally a member of Halle's tiny but active Communist underground. Her responsibilities included acting as a courier, setting up clandestine meetings, and similar highrisk activities."

Recent articles in mass media about her death include her alleged membership to the Nazi youth organization, but it may be just a copy/paste from Wikipedia by journalists (the information was added to Wikipedia in 2009). Can you please provide further insight and sources about this issue? Maybe the membership was obligatory by law? It is strange. Anyway, currently there is no info about her militant activities in communist groups in her Wikipedia article, which I think it should be added. --emijrp (talk) 20:13, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

 * I reply to myself. As stated in The New York Times article "From 1938 to 1945, Mrs. Honecker belonged to the Bund Deutscher Mädel, the girls’ wing of the Hitler Youth, whose membership was obligatory." As usual, the important bits are stripped out in the Wikipedia article. It seems that some people like to write this article in a negative way. She was an anti-fascist. emijrp (talk) 20:41, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * As usual. Please prove or stop.Xx236 (talk) 10:35, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

 * She was undisputedly a member of the Bund Deutscher Mädel. Yes, membership was mandatory, as that article clearly explains, but that doesn't change the fact that she was indeed a member. She was first and foremost a representative of a totalitarian communist regime. "Anti-fascist" was simply a term those guys used to describe themselves (e.g. the Berlin Wall was officially called an "anti-fascist" wall). The article isn't written in a negative way in any other way that it conveys how she is viewed by virtually all reliable sources, and if it comes across as presenting her in a negative light, it's hardly surprising as she was "reviled" due to her active role in political repression and persecution as many RS (both German and non-German ones) noted --Tataral (talk) 02:29, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

 * There are two opinions:

 * obligatory since Decemeber the 1st, 1936
 * obligatory since March the 25th, 1939.
 * http://germanhistorydocs.ghi-dc.org/sub_document.cfm?document_id=1565 As far as I understand a teenager was able to be expelled, so MH preferred to belong than to be expelled from the BDM.
 * Many Nazis claimed that murdering Jews was mandatory. The same level of ethics.Xx236 (talk) 10:55, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Unbelievably unencyclopedic tone
The whole article is written like a 1950s Cold War political pamphlet attacking the "totalitarian Stalinists". While there is no doubt that she was a high-ranking member of an authoritarian and anti-democratic regime, she was by no means "the most hated person in East Germany" (even today, there are Germans who are fond of the old regime, which, of course, was not a democracy, but that's not the point). And of course, expressions such as "the purple witch" have no place in the lead section of a political biography. Needs a major rewrite, ASAP. 77.49.9.243 (talk) 20:53, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Nope, it doesn't. This has been thoroughly discussed and the consensus is that it stays in. We don't delete reliably sourced material because some people don't like it. This is an encyclopedic article, not Neues Deutschland. --Tataral (talk) 00:40, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

MMMBop is both an album and a song. The content for the Mmmbop article describes the song and should be moved to MMMBop (song) which is pointed to by the MMMBop disambiguation page. A redirect should be placed at this article to MMMBop which is the spelling which has been standardized upon in all the other related articles.

 * Add any additional comments

 * I don't think the average person knows there was an album, so when most people type MMMBop into the search engine, or create it as a link, they are probably looking for the song. Therefore, an alternate idea: you could move Mmmbop to MMMBop, and, instead of being a disambiguation page, have MMMBop be about the song, with a notice at the top of that page such as "This article is about the song. For the album, see MMMBop (album)" and a reverse notice at the top of MMMBop (album). Mmmbop and MMMBop (song) could then redirect to MMMBop. HollyAm 05:10, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

I heard that the counterpoint was derived from some classical piano piece, also the melody cloned from a song by a 1970s girl band. What say you? knoodelhed 21:32, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Fact - Check
This article claims that the first Stop the Bop fundraising campaign was held for Hurrican Katrina relief. The CBS link corroborates the story. But, there was a Stop the Bop fundraiser at my high school and I graduated before Hurricane Katrina. I do not think my school had the first Stop the Bop. I suppose it is possible that I am mistaken, so I am not going to edit the main article. Can anyone out there also attest to having a Stop the Bop before August 2005 when Katrina hit? If so, the article must change to reflect that. 142.167.168.182 16:11, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Spankable nurse
User:Mdwh removed a link I added here and called it spam. The link was to a free program, created with opensource software and was a perfect illustration for this areticle's topic. In what universe is that considered spam? see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nurse_stereotypes&diff=81637329&oldid=81636854

See Talk:Erotic spanking for discussion on this. Mdwh 21:51, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

First line
I'd like to poll people's thoughts about the placement of the first line in the article, describing the harmful effects of the nurse stereotype.

I agree with the sentiment of the line, and believe it should be in the article. But I also think the article (or any article) should should first define and explain it's subject, in this case Nurse Stereotypes. Starting right off with this single line gives the article an odd flow.

I would suggest moving the line farther down, but am leery of the reaction, as people may think I want to minimize or dismiss the the harmful effects of the stereotype. That would not be my sentiment at all. Anybody else want to chime in on this? --Bridgecross 21:07, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd support your assertion that a definition (such as that in the section headed "background", should come first. It could also be argued that the stereotypes could have positive effects (even if not by many).— Rod talk 21:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Noctor
Most of these stereotype sections are merely poorly referenced or use the wrong tone, but this one does not even seem to be a stereotype, and the text itself is clearly biased. Nurses "appropriate" the term "practitioner", resemble "barefoot doctors" of the developing world, are a "third world" phenomenon inexplicable in developed nations, and have "cunning plans". I was tempted to delete the entire section, but I'd like some input on these issues first. --Joel7687 (talk) 18:58, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I am going to delete this section of the article. I believe that the following issues should be addressed by anyone attempting to add this section back to the article:
 * As I just discovered, the text is largely copied without attribution from this blog.
 * The "noctor" doesn't really seem to be a stereotype, at least not the way it's presented here.
 * To the extent that it could be viewed as a stereotype, the section is written from the POV of a person who subscribes to that stereotype.
 * The section does not use appropriate tone.
 * The section makes factual claims without references.
 * The section is written from a UK perspective, rather than a more general/global one.
 * --Joel7687 (talk) 14:57, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Tone, wording, and references
There are really only two references in this article, if you don't count links to other Wikipedia pages. Also, the "people think this, but REAL nurses do that" kind of wording and tone make it sound more like a blog post than a Wikipedia article. I don't know enough about the topic to make a contribution, but this article seems to need cleanup. -ajs — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.31.40.7 (talk) 17:17, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Clean up
I am working on a project for class and chose to contribute/edit part of this article. I agreed with the comments that the wording and tone were off as well as the fact that the first section needed some clean up. I am going to go ahead and add my changes, which are more of a rewording to that section, please let me know if they are acceptable. I also will add some new information and sources.

Pontedera

Pontedera (Pons Herae) is an Italian comune with a population of 29,270 inhabitants, located in the province of Pisa, Tuscany, central Italy.

The town is located 20 km (12 miles) from Pisa and 50 km (31 miles) from Florence.

It houses the headquarters of the Piaggio company, of the Castellani winery and of the Amedei premium artisan chocolate factory.

Pontedera is in the Arno Valley at the confluence of the Era River and the Arno River. Its territory is also crossed by the Scolmatore dell'Arno canal, and by the Roglio, a tributary of the Era. There is also a small lake, in the frazione of La Rotta, known as Braccini lake.

The football team in the town is called U.S. Città di Pontedera, and they are currently placed in Serie C. Remarkable the church of Santissimo Crocifisso.

History
Pontedera was the seat of several historical battles. In 1369, the Milanese army of Barnabò Visconti, led by John Hawkwood, was defeated here by the Florentine troops. On 11 June 1554, there was a pyrrhic victory in the last effort by the Republic of Siena to retain its independence, when Piero Strozzi won against the Florentines. Two months later he was decisively defeated at the Battle of Marciano, an event which marked the end of the Senese independence.

World War II
Pontedera was heavily bombed during World War II by the Anglo-Americans because of the presence of military aircraft manufacturing plants by Piaggio. The 3 main bombings occurred on 6 January 1944, when the station area was hit; on 18 January, when the open-air area of the "Orto dei Rosati" was targeted (and where people had taken refuge believing it to be safe); and on 21 January 1944, when factories and houses were hit. By the end of the conflict, half the city was devastated, 370 people had lost their lives and thousands had been injured.

Pontedera is home to the "Giovanni Alberto Agnelli" Piaggio Museum. Created in 2000 from part of the old Piaggio workshops, it now houses numerous models produced by Piaggio as well as a vast historical archive named after Antonella Bechi Piaggio, while the Valdera Campus of the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa was carved out of the old Piaggio canteen.

Roads
Pontedera is crossed from west to east by State Road 67 Tosco Romagnola, which connects it directly to Pisa and Florence ending in Ravenna.

The city is also served by the FI-PI-LI Great Communication Road, which serves as a major arterial road connecting the provinces of Florence, Pisa and Livorno. The road starts in Florence and splits near Lavaiano into the northern section, ending in Pisa connecting with the A12 Motorway, and the southern section, ending in Livorno.

Bus
Urban public bus transportation is operated by Autolinee Toscane (CTT Nord before the merger of activities in 2021) with two paid urban routes (previously three) and two free shuttle services.

There are suburban lines connecting it with a variety of Tuscan cities.

Railway
Pontedera train station is an important hub placed on the Leopolda Railway between Pisa and Florence, due to the many services in the Valdera area, in the field of education and the piaggio factories, with a daily flow of 4,000 passengers. The station is served by trains about every 15 minutes in both directions, as well as various connections including Livorno, Viareggio, La Spezia, Lucca, Grosseto to other minor ones, that are part of the Trenitalia regional service. It takes 10–15 minutes to travel to Pisa and 35–40 minutes to travel to Florence.

In the early 20th century the Lucca-Pontedera-Saline di Volterra railway line was planned. In 1922 work began, ending six years later only on the Lucca-Pontedera section. Due to damage in World War II, the line was decommissioned and dismantled in 1958.

Airport
Pontedera had an airport, which was created for military use as an airfield for airships and later repurposed for aircraft in built in 1913, on the eve of World War I.

After World War II it lost importance because of the nearby Pisa airport. The same passed into use by Piaggio until it was completely dismantled. In its original place today stands the new Pontedera industrial zone (PIP III).

Centro
Extending westward to the railway station, it's bounded on the north by the Arno river, on the east by the Era river, and on the south by the railway.

The main pedestrian street is Corso Matteotti, home to stores, bars, bakeries and businesses. Other main streets are Via Gotti, Via Lotti, Via Roma and Via I° Maggio. In the 2007 municipal census, the neighborhood had 7943 inhabitants.

Bellaria
It is the area south of the railway. It is home to the headquarters of Piaggio, its museum, the Polo Valdera, and the "Felice Lotti" hospital.

The residential area consists mainly of small villas. The newly developed western area can be divided into Sozzifanti to the north and Galimberti to the south. The former is the only area in all of Pontedera that does not have its own church. In the 2007 municipal census, the neighborhood had 4648 inhabitants.

Oltrera
It is the area east of the town. It is the neighborhood across the Era River; It's also called in Pisan dialect "Foriderponte" or "Forderponte" (outside of the bridge).

It has seen an extensive expansion from the late 1950s with the construction of the "Gronchi" Village - Viale Italia. Today it is home to the weekly market, annual Fair, Era Theater, "Ettore Mannucci" stadium and the Cineplex, a multiplex cinema with a shopping center inside. In the 2007 municipal census it had 6779 inhabitants.

Arthur Crew Inman

Arthur Crew Inman (May 11, 1895 – December 5, 1963) was a reclusive and unsuccessful American poet whose 17-million-word diary, extending from 1919 to 1963, is one of the longest English-language diaries on record.

Biography
Inman was born May 11, 1895, in Atlanta to one of the city's wealthiest families. His grandfather Samuel Martin Inman owned part of the Atlanta Constitution but derived his wealth from cotton trade and manufacturing.

He left Atlanta to attend the Haverford School and then Haverford College. He left college after two years because of a nervous breakdown, and he never returned to the South after 1915.

He married Evelyn Yates in 1923.

Inman published several volumes of undistinguished poetry. A critic has described Inman as "a mediocre talent, wholly lacking in the sophisticated literary and philosophical education of the Ransom generation."

In 1928 he edited and published Soldier of the South: General Pickett's War Letters to his Wife.

He moved to Boston, where he became increasingly obsessed with his health. He lived for much of his life in dark, soundproofed apartments. He owned several apartments in order to surround himself with noiseless spaces. Having inherited wealth, he was able to cater to his hypochondria and other eccentric ways and afford servants and others hired to come and talk with him. His wife, Evelyn, appears to have accepted that he would have sex with some of these so-called "talkers." He attempted suicide on several occasions. On December 5, 1963, when he found the noise from the construction of the Prudential Tower near his apartment unbearable, he committed suicide with a revolver in Brookline, Massachusetts.

He left 155 handwritten volumes of the diary when he died, entirely unpublished. Inman's diary is not only considered unique by some but historian David Herbert Donald called it "the most remarkable diary ever published by an American." Through its many volumes, Inman provides a panoramic record of people, events, and observations from more than four decades of the twentieth century. The extent of his writing suggests he suffered from hypergraphia.

His wife Evelyn died in 1985..

The Inman Diaries
Harvard professor of English and American literature Daniel Aaron published a two-volume edition of selections in 1985. A one-volume version appeared in 1996. Reviewing the two-volume edition, Time described Inman as a "megalomaniacal bigot misogynist Peeping Tom hypochondriac," who "hated Jews, Italians and Roosevelt while admiring Hitler." The reviewer for the New York Times enjoyed Inman's many portraits of working class and middle class visitors with interesting stories, but thought less of his self-revelations, "that mostly meant giving vent to bristling prejudices about lesser breeds (lesser than Nordic, that is to say)."

Playwright Lorenzo DeStefano authored a play based on the diaries, Camera Obscura, which has been performed at the Seattle Repertory Theatre (2001) and at London's Almeida Theatre (2002). English director Jonathan Miller directed both of those productions.

Lorenzo DeStefano's feature film adaptation, The Diarist is in active development.

The Inman Diaries, an opera by Thomas Oboe Lee, based on the diary and DeStefano's play, was commissioned and produced by Intermezzo Opera of Boston. The world premiere took place there in September 2007.

In popular culture
According to Harley Peyton, producer of the television series Twin Peaks, the character and behavior of the recluse Harold Smith were based on Inman.

University court

A university court is an administrative body of a university in the United Kingdom. In England's Oxbridge such a court carries out limited judicial functions; whereas in Scotland it is a university's supreme governing body, analogous to a board of directors or a board of trustees.

In the English universities of Oxford and Cambridge, courts of inferior jurisdiction, administering principles of justice founded on the canon and civil law, but later defined and limited by the common law.

At Oxford University, the judge of the chancellor's court is the vice-chancellor, who is his deputy or assessor; the court has had since 1244 civil jurisdiction, to the exclusion of the king's courts, in all matters and suits wherein a scholar or privileged person of the university is one of the parties, except in actions relating to freehold. It had also, from 1290 downwards, jurisdiction of all injuries and trespasses against the peace, mayhem and felony excepted, but since the Summary Jurisdiction Acts this is possibly no longer exercisable.

The criminal jurisdiction of Cambridge University in cases where any person not a member of the university is a party has ceased, and its jurisdiction over 'light women' (i.e. prostitutes), which was founded on a charter and statute of Elizabeth, was taken away in 1894 by a private act of that year, when an earlier act dealing with them and applicable till then only to Oxford University, was extended to Cambridge University. Before 1891, women of 'light character', who had been convicted of consorting with or soliciting members of the university in statu pupillari, were detained in a house of correction called the 'Spinning House', but in that year a conviction was held bad.

All jurisdiction over non-university matters was removed from both the Oxford and Cambridge courts by the Administration of Justice Act 1977.

Scotland
The university courts were first established for the ancient universities by the Universities (Scotland) Act 1858 and they are responsible for the finances and administration of each university. Each university, subject to approval by the Privy Council of the United Kingdom, determines the constitution of its court, with members coming from within each university, the local community and beyond.

At an ancient university the court is chaired by the rector, who ranks third after the chancellor and vice-chancellor, is elected by all the matriculated students of each university. Members are also appointed by the general council, academic senate and local authority.

At more modern universities there is usually a chairman or convenor appointed along lines similar to a chairman of the board in a corporation or charity.

The president of the students' representative council is usually a member and lay members are co-opted onto the court.

Paolo Labisi

Paolo Labisi was an 18th-century Italian architect. He worked principally in the Baroque style. His most notable works are in the Sicilian town of Noto, which was completely rebuilt on a new site following the earthquake of 1693. Labisi's work later came to be known under the banner of Sicilian Baroque. His work on the Palazzo Villadorata in Noto is perhaps one of the finest examples of his talent, displaying puttini seemingly supporting balconies with intricate wrought iron balustrading.

Peter, Paul and Mommy

Peter, Paul and Mommy, released on Warner Bros. in 1969, is the trio Peter, Paul and Mary's first children's album. It contains hits like "Puff the Magic Dragon", among others. The album reached No. 12 on Billboard's Top LPs chart. The single "Day is Done" reached number 7 on the Easy Listening chart and number 21 on the Pop Singles chart.

At the Grammy Awards of 1970, Peter, Paul and Mommy won the Grammy for Best Recording for Children.

Background
According to Paul Stookey, the album grew naturally from the fact that all the previous albums the trio had released contain at least one children's song. The album contains new songs as well as some songs they had previously recorded. Songs such as "It's Raining" and "Puff (The Magic Dragon)", found on earlier albums, were re-recorded for the album with a backing children choir. The single "Day is Done", written by Peter Yarrow, is also a different recording from the one on the album. "The Marvelous Toy" and "Going To The Zoo" are songs by Tom Paxton.

Talk:Scrubs (clothing)

Untitled
This sentence is very odd for this forum, but is an interesting note to have in the article, so I decided to put it here for someone to work into more Wiki-appropriate form: [It is family history that the man who started this trend is my great-uncle, Lewis Chandler Foster, MD, Professor of Medicine at Yale University Hospital, New Haven CT. This comes from his brother, my grandfather, but as both men died in 1969 it is not possible to verify this tradition. MHH]

Moving this page?
A disambiguation page exists for the word Scrub, which lists this page, as well as Scrubs (TV series). I would suggest the Wikipedia page for 'Scrubs' should become a redirect to Scrub, and that the information on this page be moved to Scrubs (clothing). I would like some comments from users of this page before doing this, if possible. --Gpollock 00:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Support, sounds like a great idea. johnSLADE (talk) 21:53, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It's done. --Gpollock 03:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Notes for additions
Some notes I've made: Is scrubs a US only word? Scrubs vs surgical gowns. Materials used - reasons for choice - waterproof, punctureproof, disposable. Special protective materials - e.g. infective cases (HBV, HIV, Congo fever). Washing and sterilisation. --Seejyb 19:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Scrubs isn't a US only word, but I feel that the article is very US-Centric - in my experience it's only in America that 'most hospital staff wear scrubs'. Randomlyred 00:33, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

The term 'scrubs' is used in Australia. Identical scrubs are worn by all staff in some healthcare workplaces in Australia eg. theatre and emergency. Tradimus (talk) 04:23, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Out of place?
Reading through the article, the sentence detailing the "origin" of the word seal blue, seems out of place and not needed. --Keylay31 00:30, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Theatre Blues
"In the United Kingdom, scrubs are sometimes known as Theatre Blues." I believe this is in ref to Surgical theatre where scrubs would be worn. Could a UK editor please provide source(s)? --Naaman Brown (talk) 12:29, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Is this both appropriately sourced and relevant?
"Scrubs are designed to be simple (with minimal places for contaminants to hide), easy to launder, and cheap to replace if damaged." Looking at it, with the two unusually placed pockets, it's actually more complex than most shirts I've ever seen. There are also no less places for "contaminants" to "hide", nor do I see any sourced information regarding being easier to launder than typical clothes or cheaper to replace. 97.84.218.68 (talk) 02:12, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Scrubs (clothing) → Scrubs – An instance of a WP:PLURALPT. It is also primary over the TV series, since the series is obviously named after the article of clothing, which its characters commonly wear. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 18:49, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I was inclined to support this one, but checking pageviews shows Scrubs (TV series) gets a whopping 90% of the pageviews for things called "Scrubs", which is far, far more than I expected. Considering we have articles about media at titles like Friends and Peanuts, I don't think it's that unreasonable to suggest that the vast majority of people searching "Scrubs" aren't looking for or expecting the clothes article (so I guess WP:ASTONISH applies). Nohomersryan (talk) 22:29, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Normally pageviews are the determinant of a primary topic, but this reasoning leads to some faulty conclusions. For example, if "Glasses" was a popular TV series about people who wore glasses - insanely popular in fact - would it then compete with Glasses as a primary topic? I'd assume not, but that's the conclusion you're arriving at here. Ultimately, the primary topic is the original term and the one with longterm significance.
 * I don't oppose linking the TV series directly in a hatnote though, to prevent people from having to navigate through the disambiguation page for it.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 23:48, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, Friends and Peanuts are both plural primary topics and therefore would not have to compete in importance with "Friend" or "Peanut", so they are not great comparisons to make.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 00:56, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
 * PLURALAPT notes that "the normal situation is that a plural redirects to its singular", so there's not entirely no competition. (For the most part I do agree with you, but Parachutes (Coldplay album), Bookends (album), Pixies (band), etc. wouldn't have been moved if everyone did.) My greater point is that while I can cut pageviews some slack if a topic is the original use, I can't really justify making a page that only gets 10% of views the primary topic. Since the TV series is of such massive reader interest, making the clothing the primary topic strikes me a bit too much like DICDEF. Also, since it's a play on both the clothing and Scrubs (occupation), it's not entirely 100% derivative in the first place. Nohomersryan (talk) 02:20, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Scrubs (occupation) is just slang and not an article though, so it's not really competing with that for primary topic. In any case, it wouldn't be any different than having a disambiguation there if the hatnote also linked to the TV show, so regardless it would still take 2 steps for someone to reach the TV show. Those are the two major things being disambiguated, so why not put Scrubs at primary?ZXCVBNM (TALK) 02:45, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose per pageviews. No reason to impose a primary. --Gonnym (talk) 23:54, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

"History of surgical attire" Relevance of parenthesised sentence
The sentence in the middle seems to have no source or reason to be in the article, as it is irrelevant to the subject. Homeless Canadian (talk) 07:03, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Scrubs on the streets
Visiting the US, I am always surprised to see hospital workers wearing scrubs outside of the hospital and even on their way to work. Is there a reason why people wear scrubs outside? In Germany, this would be considered unhygienic and is prohibited in many hospital (e.g. you will not get lunch if you wear scrubs). Is it fashion? Or just practical? Are there maybe no dressing rooms for hospital workers? Maybe someone familiar with this habit can comment? Marvin 101 (talk) 00:44, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Academic senate

An academic senate, sometimes termed faculty senate, academic board or simply senate, is a governing body in some universities and colleges, typically with responsibility for academic matters and primarily drawing its membership from the academic staff of the institution.

Models of university governance can be unitary (also called unicameral) or dual (also called bicameral). Unicameral models may involve leadership by either an academic senate-type body or, more commonly, a lay-led board/council-type body. In this arrangement, a senate-type body may still exist but in an advisory role to the board-type body that has full responsibility for governance. Bicameral models almost always involve both a senate and a board; these can be 'traditional' with the two bodies have distinct but equally important portfolios, typically a senate-type body having responsibility for academic matters and a board-type body having responsibility for finance and strategy, or 'asymmetric' with one body (typically the board) being dominant in the decision-making process.

International variations
Within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), there are some countries where universities are governed exclusively by senates. Analysis of systems in EHEA countries by E. Pruvot and T. Estermann, published in 2018, found that universities in Ireland, Estonia, Latvia and Poland had unitary governance with a senate-type governing body. of university systems in Europe analysed for the European University Association (EUA) by the same authors and N. Popkhadze, only the Brandenburg region of Germany (not included in the earlier analysis) retained this system, with Poland being classified as dual-asymmetric and Latvia and Estonia as traditional dual governance systems, having previously been considered unitary-senate models in analysis published in 2017, prior to governance reforms in those countries; there is no noted reform for Ireland but it is also re-classified as dual-asymmetric.

In some EHEA countries, senates either do not exist or, where they do, they are an advisory body with no real power. Pruvot and Estermann found that Belgium (Flanders), Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Portugal all have board-based unitary models, although Denmark, Iceland and Portugal mandate the existence of an advisory senate without decision-making powers, and some older universities in Sweden have also retained a senate. Additionally, the Netherlands has a dual government system with two boards rather than a board and a senate. The 2022 analysis includes Belgium (Wallonia-Brussels) and Turkey (neither of which was included in Pruvot and Esterman (2018)'s analysis) as having unitary governance models.

Asymmetric dual governance models with both a board and a senate are found in the Czech Republic, Croatia, Finland, Hungary, Luxembourg and France. Boards tend to be dominant, with the senate having real but limited decision-making power. The 2022 analysis adds Georgia, Ireland, Poland, Romania, Scotland and Spain (all but Ireland and Poland, which have been re-classified from unitary-senate, were not included in the earlier analysis) as having dual-asymmetric governance, but considers the Czech Republic to be a traditional dual governance model.

Traditional dual governance models, where the senate typically has responsibility for academic matters and the board for strategic planning and budgets, are found in Austria, North Rhine–Westphalia (Germany), Italy, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia. It is also common in the UK, where governance varies between institutions. The 2022 analysis is in agreement, classifying England as traditional dual, although Scotland (not included in 2018) is considered to be dual-asymmetric. It also adds Estonia and Latvia, following governance reforms, the Czech Republic, which is reclassified from dual-asymmetric, and Hesse (Germany), Cyprus and Lithuania that were not previously included.

Senates in the US tend to be larger and to have more sub-committees than senates in England or Australia, while very small senates (few than 30 members) are most common in Australia (where they are typically termed academic boards). US and Australian senates normally have elected chairs, while in England the senate is chaired by the vice-chancellor (the chief executive and chief academic officer of the university).

Australian senates are less likely to be statutory bodies than those in the US or England, with only 37% being established as governing boards in their own right in a bicameral system and the others instead being sub-committees of the university council in a unicameral governance system. In the US, just under half (48%) of senates are statutory bodies, while in England two thirds (67%) have this status. The low percentage of senates that are statutory bodies in Australia has been driven, at least in part, by state legislation imposing unicameral governance similar to that found in England's post-1992 universities on their institutions. This similarity extends to the relatively narrow scope of responsibilities of the senates in Australia and in England's post-1992 universities, which is reflected in Australian senates having fewer sub-committees than their counterparts in England or the US.

Canada
Bicameral governance systems are common at publicly funded universities in Canada. and are required for accountability and the decision-making process. In bicameral governance systems there are two governing bodies, the Senate and the Board of Governors. The Senate typically has oversight over the academic mission, strategy, educational policy and programming. The Board of Governors contributes to the overall strategic direction and oversees financial and operational decisions.

There are some parallels between university governance structures and other public sector models however university governance differs in four fundamental areas: publicly funded universities in Canada are created and governed by an act of legislation which establishes the governance structure; universities operate within a legislative and regional context; academic freedom; role of president who is appointed by the Board of Governors with consultation with Senate and the university community.

United Kingdom
Academic governance in the UK is normally defined at the level of individual universities, in their constitutional documents, except for the ancient universities of Scotland (see below). Depending on the university, the relevant constitutional documents may be a royal charter and statutes (most pre-1992 universities), statutes made either by ancient right or under an act of parliament (Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, London, Newcastle and Royal Holloway), or the instrument of government or articles of association (post-1992 universities and the LSE). Changes to these must normally be confirmed by the Privy Council before going into effect (see ). In general, the constitutional documents define the existence of the senate (in universities that have a senate), but whether the powers of the senate are defined in the constitutional documents or left to ordinances passed by the governing body differs between institutions.

The "public interest governance principles" that apply to all higher education providers in England as a condition of registration with the Office for Students include academic governance, with the expectation that the institution will have a senate, academic board or equivalent to provide academic governance to the institution. This imposes the responsibility on the governing body (council, board of trustees, etc.) that: "The governing body receives and tests assurance that academic governance is adequate and effective through explicit protocols with the senate/academic board (or equivalent)".

With the exception of Oxford and Cambridge and the ancient Scottish universities, most pre-1992 universities follow a bicameral 'civic' model, with responsibilities split between a university council and an academic senate. A difference may be seen, however, between a traditional academic senate, which is the academic authority responsible for the award of degrees under their powers as the senate defined in the constitutional documents, for example, Durham and Sheffield, and other academic bodies such as the academic board at UCL, which "advises the Council on all academic matters and questions affecting the educational policy of UCL" and which recommends the award of degrees, or at Wolverhampton where the academic board is responsible for academic standards and  "procedures for the award of qualifications" but formal responsibility for the exercise of degree awarding powers lies with the board of governors. However, some bodies denominated as senates, such as those at Bristol and the University of East Anglia, only hold delegated authority from their university's council rather than having authority in their own right under the university's constitutional documents.

Historical development
The oldest university senate in the UK is at the University of Cambridge (see ). However, this is the assembly of all MA graduates, similar to convocation at Oxford and Durham (and formerly at London), rather than an academic body. The senatus academicus at Edinburgh emerged at the start of the 17th century as the senior body within the university itself (then governed by the town council), containing the principal and the regents. Disputes between the senatus academicus and the town council on the early 19th century over which body had the authority to make degree regulations led to a royal commission in 1826–30 and eventually the 1858 Universities (Scotland) Act, which removed the governance of the university from the town council. The senate at Glasgow, consisting of the rector, dean of faculties and the professors, also emerged in the early 17th century and was responsible for conferring degrees and other matters internal to the university. It operated alongside the 'faculty', a committee consisting of the principal and the holders of the thirteen oldest chairs, which had the management of the revenue and property of the university. Both of these were merged into the senatus academicus under the 1858 act.

When St David's College, Lampeter, University College London, King's College London and Durham University were established in the 1820s and early 1830s, academics were not initially involved in their governance. However, the situation did not last, with the first academic senates in England being established in the 1830s. Complaints of poor teaching against the professor of anatomy at UCL in 1829 (only a year after its opening) led to him being sacked, causing splits in the council (appointed by the shareholders) and a loss of confidence in the warden on the part of the college's professors. The warden resigned in 1831 and his office was abolished, and in 1832 the senate was established to give the professors more autonomy, although under a lay chair. This became the professorial board in 1907, when UCL was merged into the University of London. It is now the academic board of UCL, and is an exception to the normal modern practice of the senate being a representative body (see below), including all professors as well as elected representatives of other academic and non-academic staff. Proposals to replace the academic board with a smaller senate were rejected in 2020.

At Durham, the chapter of Durham Cathedral (the governors of the university under the 1832 act that established it) passed a "fundamental statute" in 1835, passing the normal running of the institution over to an academic senate and a convocation of the members of the university. The senate, consisting initially of the warden, the three professors, the two proctors, and a member of convocation nominated by the dean and chapter, ran the ordinary business of the university and proposed regulations that convocation could confirm our reject. However, the chapter, as governors of the university until 1909, retained the power to overrule the senate and convocation or to take independent action, which they did on four occasions in the 19th century.

The former senate of the University of London, established by its charter in 1836, was the general governing body of the university, appointed by the government and without any academic staff representation – the university at that time being an examining board that did not have any academic staff.

In the universities established in first half of the 20th century, senates were generally only given limited powers while there was little check on the powers of the council. An exception to this was Manchester, which (as Owen's College, in 1880) has been identified as the origin of the bicameral civic system. Here, the senate was given the right to be consulted on all legislation and to give opinions on any matter concerning the university. Leeds followed Manchester, while Durham's 1937 statutes went even further, constituting the senate as the supreme academic body and giving it the right to be consulted on financial matters that affected the university's educational policy. This was the first time the senate was defined as 'supreme' when it came to academic matters, which would become common in the 1960s. It also introduced the innovation that all professors were not ex officio members of senate but instead formed an electoral constituency that selected representatives on senate, in the same manner as the non-professorial staff. The right of senates to be consulted generally grew over the course of the 20th century, with the model charter issued by the Privy Council in 1963 giving rights to senates to initiate and be consulted on legislation and on staff appointments, while still retaining a list of powers reserved to councils, including full control of financial matters.

However, the polytechnics, incorporated as Higher Education Corporations, that became universities in 1992 had a unicameral structure with little academic representation on their board their academic board being merely advisory to the vice-chancellor and the board. Government reviews, particularly the Dearing Review in 1997, pushed older universities towards this more corporate style of management. The Committee of University Chairs' code of best practice also reinforced that councils should have ultimate responsibility, with little concept of shared governance. There has also been a rise in the power of the executive at universities, linked to the increase in the importance of the 'higher education market'. As a result, senates, which tend to be large bodies that meet infrequently, have lost power relative to councils and executives in the pre-1992 universities. However, there are large differences between institutions in this regard, with some senates still retaining a large amount of power.

Scotland
In Scotland, the senatus academicus is the supreme academic body of an ancient university, given legal authority by the Universities (Scotland) Acts. The senatus is responsible for authorising degree programmes, issuing degrees to graduands and honorary recipients, and for the discipline of students. Membership includes ex officio and elected members, and generally comprises:

Ex officio
 * The Principal (President of the Senate)
 * Vice-principals
 * The secretary of court
 * Deans of faculties
 * Professors of the university
 * Heads of academic departments
 * Directors of academic services (e.g. library)
 * Student members

At the University of Glasgow, the Clerk of Senate (whose office is equivalent to that of a vice-principal) and Secretary of Court are also ex officio members of the Senate.

United States

In the United States of America the academic senate, also known as the faculty senate, is a governing body for a university made up of members of the faculty of the university. It was estimated in the 1980s that 60 to 80 per cent of university and college campuses in the US had some form of senate, and it is generally considered to be the standard form by which faculty participate in university governance.

The academic senate normally creates university academic policy that applies to the university. The policy created by the academic senate is restricted to and must be congruent with policy by the university system of which the university is a member institution, any accreditation bodies, state laws and regulations, federal laws and regulations, and changes derived from judicial decisions at the state and federal levels of the court systems. While a majority of universities and colleges have some form of an academic senate, the general perception is that the organization has more of a ceremonial role. However some researchers have found a negative correlation between centralization of university administration and the presence of an academic senate indicating that an academic senate acts as an organizational force for the decentralization of a university in the area of academics.

The academic senate meets periodically with a published agenda. Meetings normally use Robert's Rules of Order. The senate will have a set of committees, both standing committees and ad hoc or working committees, which are assigned particular areas of responsibility for policy formation. The officers of the academic senate may include the president of the university and the provost of the university. Other officers are academic senate members who are elected to officer posts by the members of the senate. Deans of colleges as well as department chairs may be ex officio members of the academic senate.

Motions, recommendations, or actions that are generated by the academic senate through discussion and which are passed by the body are never final and will normally be referred to the president of the university for final approval. Depending on the authorizing legislation or statutes and types of recommendations being made, boards of trustees, boards of regents or the equivalent may have to authorize senate recommendations.

St Andrew's Church, Brussels

St Andrew's Church in Brussels (Ixelles) is a congregation in membership of both the Church of Scotland and the United Protestant Church in Belgium (EPUB/VPKB) (in French Église Protestante Unie de Belgique and Dutch Verenigde Protestantse Kerk in België.) Services are conducted in English.

In 1830, a Presbyterian Scots Kirk was founded in Belgium and the Reverend Charles Siveright was the first minister. However, after the Belgian Revolution, there are no further written records of this church. In 1898, The Reverend Francis Gordon was sent to Belgium and conducted Presbyterian church services in various locations in Brussels. This arrangement with services in different places continued for 27 years. The Reverend George R.S. Reid took over from Gordon as minister in 1899 and 150 people attended a Congregational meeting that year. In 1900, the first Elders were ordained. the Kirk Session set up and a special fund was created to raise money for building a church. In 1900 the Brussels congregation was included in the Church of Scotland Presbytery of Edinburgh. As of 2016, it is part of the Church of Scotland's International Presbytery (formerly known as the Presbytery of Europe).

The present church buildings (located on the corner of Chaussée de Vleurgat or Vleurgatsesteenweg and Rue Buchholtz, Ixelles, off Louise Avenue) were built in 1925 as a memorial to the Scottish soldiers who had died in Belgium during World War I and can seat 200. The area surrounding the church is notable for its distinctive early 20th-century Art Nouveau houses, notably the nearby home of the architect Victor Horta. The once small congregation has grown considerably in recent years, especially as a result of the UK’s accession to (what was then known as) the Common Market in 1973 and the location of numerous international organisations in Brussels, including the European Union and NATO. The congregation in 2013 was very multinational, with more than 30 different nationalities represented. The largest numbers of people came from the UK and Ghana.

As of 2014, the minister (since 2004) is the Reverend Dr Andrew Gardner BSc PhD BD, formerly of Flowerhill Parish Church, Airdrie, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
