Karin Hansdotter

Katarina "Karin" Hansdotter (1539–1596) was the royal mistress of King John III of Sweden during his time as Prince and Duke of Finland in 1555–1562.

Biography
Karin Hansdotter was the daughter of the Lutheran priest Hans Klasson Kökkemäster, a former monk of the Dominican Order, and his wife Ingeborg Åkesdotter, a former nun and the illegitimate daughter of count Åke Hansson Tott. Her father left monastic life after the Swedish Reformation and became a Lutheran priest in Stockholm, but lost his office because of adultery.

Royal mistress
Karin Hansdotter was given a position in the household of the queen dowager Catherine Stenbock, where she met Prince John. In 1555, Prince John was given his own household, and Karin left her position with the queen dowager and became the official kept mistress of John with the approval of her guardian. In 1556, accompanied John when he left Sweden for Åbo Castle in his Duchy of Finland, where she lived with him as his hostess and the center of his court. She was referred to as "Our Gracious Lady" and given her own household with her own maids and also brought her relatives and friends to her household. She followed him as far as to Arboga on his journey to England in 1559, and lived with him in Stockholm in 1560-61. The couple had four children.

In 1562, the relationship between Karin and John was terminated awaiting his marriage to Catherine Jagellonica of Poland. In October 1562, Karin was awarded several estates in Finland, notably Wääksy Manor in Kangasala, and married to the nobleman Klas Andersson Westgöte (d. 1565), a trusted courtier of John. She was granted a great dowry by John and retired to the manor of her new spouse, Vik in Birkala. It is noted that she left her eldest children with John, but the two youngest followed her to Vik, as well as her own mother, who apparently lived with her.

Later life
In 1563, Duke John rebelled against his half brother, King Erik XIV and her spouse joined him. The defeat of John's rebellion resulted in John and his family (including her two eldest children with him) being imprisoned and the execution of her spouse for treason for his part in the rebellion. Karin, widowed and abandoned, was left destitute after her home was ransacked, however, Eric XIV did restore her property to her the following year.

When John succeeded to the throne as king after the deposition of his brother in 1568, he granted her several additional estates, making her quite wealthy. In 1572, Karin married the royal official Lars Henrikson Hordeel (d. 1591). Her new husband was ennobled by John III in 1576, on condition that he "henceforth faithfully and diligently act toward Our Dear Lady and both of Our offspring". Her husband was consequently given an office and her son named governor of Åbo Castle, and her children with John III where ennobled in 1577 and her daughter Sofia became a lady-in-waiting of Princess Elizabeth of Sweden. From 1580, due to the office of her spouse and son, Karin was able to move back into Åbo Castle and once again become its hostess and the lady of her own court there. She had custody of her grandchildren by her daughter Sofia after Sofia's death in 1585 until they were taken to Sweden in 1589.

When was widowed in 1591, Karin retired to her estate, where she was the neighbor of the deposed queen Karin Månsdotter, who lived in the estate next to hers. Karin died in 1596 during the great Finnish peasant rebellion, and died shortly before the rebels reached and sacked her estate.

Children and family
Karin and John had four children:
 * Sofia Johansdotter Gyllenhielm (1556–1583) - who married Pontus De la Gardie (d. 1585),
 * August Johansson Gyllenhielm (1557–1560),
 * Julius Johansson Gyllenhielm (1559–1583),
 * Lucrecia Johansdotter Gyllenhielm (1560–1585).

Karin and her first husband Klas had one child:
 * Brita Klasdotter Westgöte (c.1563–1620) - who married Carl Stenbock (d. 1609).

Karin and her second husband Lars had one child:
 * Anna Larsdotter Hordeel (1573–1646) - who married Hans Mårtensson Boije (d. 1617).

Sound Team

Sound Team was an American band based in Austin, Texas, that formed in 2000 around principal songwriters Bill Baird and Matt Oliver. For most of their recording career, Sound Team consisted of Bill Baird (bass, guitar, vocals), Matt Oliver (guitar, piano, vocals), Jordan Johns (drums, percussion), Sam Sanford (guitar), Michael Baird (synthesizer, tapes) and Gabe Pearlman (organ). Sanford and Michael Baird left the group in 2006. The band continued to record and tour briefly with a new line-up, but finally disbanded in late 2007.

Formation and early shows
Bill Baird and Matt Oliver met in Austin in 2000 and began recording crazy songs on cheap gear that drew inspiration out of everything from traditional American folk and pop song forms to German synthesizer music. They released two CD-R albums, Sound Team and Into the Lens.

Line-up solidified, early releases and tours
In 2002 Baird's younger brother Michael, Michael’s friend Jordan Johns (both of whom were still in high school at the time), and old friend Sam Sanford all enlisted, and after they had played a handful of shows in various performance spaces and punk dives, Gabe Pearlman joined in early 2003.

The group released two cassettes, Every Day Is a New Year and the "Yes" Special Cassette, and their audience continued to grow. After touring throughout 2003 and 2004, the group continued to work dead-end jobs, pooled their cash, and converted an abandoned record-pressing plant into a makeshift analog recording studio. The result was the Marathon LP, which appeared on the St. Ives label, a vinyl-only imprint of Indiana's Secretly Canadian. In the fall of 2005, several songs from previous cassette and vinyl releases appeared on the WORK EP.

Contract with EMI and break-up
In 2005, the band was signed to a contract with Capitol Records. Support slots on several tours culminated with an appearance in Central Park opening for Arcade Fire. In June 2006, Capitol released the band's debut album, Movie Monster. Although the album was met with generally positive reviews, commercial sales were poor. Another factor negatively affecting sales of the album was that, unbeknownst to the band, Capitol set the album's list price at an astronomical $18.98. After extensive touring in support of the album, both Sam Sanford and the younger Baird left the band for other pursuits (oil painting and a college degree, respectively). Will Patterson was enlisted as a replacement. In 2007, after a massive shake-up at Capitol in which the band's A&R rep and the president of the company (who'd signed the band) was fired, Sound Team was dropped from the EMI label. Sound Team released a vinyl EP, Empty Rooms/Bedroom Walls/Up from Ashes, and shot a Take-Away Show acoustic video for La Blogotheque that year, but internal friction in the group led to its decision to break up, and on September 15, 2007, Sound Team played its last show at the 2007 Austin City Limits Music Festival. Subsequently, the band released its entire recorded catalog as high-quality MP3 downloads, completely free of charge, on its Web site (now inactive).

Post break-up
Bill Baird began performing under the moniker Sunset as early as 2006, and performances frequently include former Sound Team members Sam Sanford and Will Patterson (Sleep Good). Sunset lasted until 2010, after which Baird began releasing solo albums. Meanwhile, Matt Oliver and Jordan Johns continued to operate the analog recording studio at Big Orange Recording, and began performing as TV Torso in 2009.

Swancon

SwanCon is a science fiction convention held in Perth, Western Australia. It is Australia's longest-running science fiction convention, and probably the longest-running in the southern hemisphere.

It was founded in 1975 by Grant Stone, with the first convention held in 1976, and has been run annually since. It is generally run by different committees of volunteers each year, and committees bid for the right to run the convention two years in advance.

In recent years it has been run as a project of the Western Australian Science Fiction Foundation (WASFF), with that year's committee reporting to the WASFF board. The convention is frequently run at Easter, but has been run at other times, though typically in the first half of the year, and is generally held in a hotel. It generally attracts 250–300 attendees. It will normally have guests attending including at least one international author, and international guests have included Robert Silverberg, Bob Shaw, Anne McAffrey, Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Brandon Sanderson, Charles Stross, and David Zindell. Australian guests have included John Birmingham, Marianne de Pierres, Kim Wilkins and Kate Forsyth.

SwanCon first hosted the Australian National Science Fiction Convention in 1980, and has done so relatively regularly since. In 2011, SwanCon hosted the 50th Australian National Science Fiction Convention, including guests Ellen Datlow, Justina Robson and Sean Williams.

Tin Duck Awards
The Tin Duck Awards are the Western Australian science fiction achievement awards. They are given out annually at SwanCon and voted on by members of the convention.

They were first presented in 1980 at SwanCon 5. The Tin Duck design, after which the Awards were named, was by Rob McGough.

propaganda
the director is a communist journalist, the producer is a leader of the FLN and he plays his own role. this is what i call a propaganda movie. source: L'Humanité newspaper of the french communist party. Shame On You 21:20, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Indeed it is, but that's no reason to but a 'NPOV' tag on the article. The fact that the film is not neutral does not mean that the article isn't, unless there's a specific problem that you've found. Cop 633 21:23, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

 * What's wrong with it? Cop 633 21:26, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

"Algerian War of Independence against French occupation" independence against french coccupation?? it was french since 1830! ain't the United states of america an occupation of the Apaches land??? Shame On You 21:26, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * can't you read? 1830-1962 this is not occupation and the french got algeria legally. Shame On You 21:28, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

What do you think it should say instead? Cop 633 21:30, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * dunno, something more neutral. it's like that line "former French colonists of Algiers (the pieds-noirs)" colonists? pied noirs were born there for generations, are they "colonists"? are the irish-americans called colonists? are the british-aussies called colonists? the pied noirs themselves called "colonist" the metropolitan french living in algeria.

1960s screening in Argentina
someone like to explain how a film scripted in 65 and released in 66 was shown beginning in 63?

"By 1963, cadets at the (then infamously well-known) Navy Mechanics School (ESMA) started receiving counter-insurgency classes aided by the film The Battle of Algiers." Qleem 16:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing out confusion. The source (Horacio Verbitsky) actually says: "Soon after Gardes met Roussillon, the cadets at the Navy Mechanic School were also introduced to the world of counter-revolutionary warfare. In one of their courses they were shown The Battle of Algiers..." The courses started in 1963, but Verbitsky doesn't say which year exactly they were shown that film.

redir from Battle of Algiers
I have just added the content from Battle of Algiers and redirected that page here. The DVD Box cover, subtitles, and IMDB all give the English title with the article "The." Andrew Levine 02:47, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Trying to get citations (citations needed)
Article says:

 * According to the Defense Department official in charge of the screening, "Showing the film offers historical insight into the conduct of French operations in Algeria, and was intended to prompt informative discussion of the challenges faced by the French."

This is tagged with a "citation needed." The best I can come up with is CNN anchor Richard Roth saying: "We mentioned the movie had a screening already at the Pentagon. A Defense Department spokesman said the film offers historical insight into the conduct of French operations in Algeria and does prompt discussions on the challenges faced by the French." (from transcript at scroll to about halfway) I'm not even sure how to identify the particular DoD spokesman. WSU ENG 3040 W2006 21:27, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Music
This is partly for my own information and partly for the musical section. Who does the vocal song(s). I am speaking specifically about the Spanish? song played in the club before the bombing. It doesn't seem to be in the credits anywhere. --gren グレン 21:51, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

From an angry critic
Why not just remove the whole article? Its generalisations are questionable; it talks about 'narrative style' (?); it is wrong about Mathieu and General Massu; its references to Eisenstein, verite and neorealism are glib and questionable; I'm fed up seeing its waffle in lazier student essays. It references NOTHING. Why not just disallow ANYTHING that is unreferenced? That might help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.130.77 (talk • contribs) 02:43 February 11, 2007

Requested move
The Battle of Algiers → The Battle of Algiers (film) — Based on the recent Torture during the Algerian War article, there seems to be people using "Battle of Algiers" to refer to the actual political struggle over Algiers during the Algerian War of Independence - this of course is the subject of the film (which is NOT a documentary). Adding "(film)" would make clear that the article is about the film, not real events. The current redirect setup redirects to The Battle of Algiers (film) to The Battle of Algiers - the logic of which escapes me. Is the semi-fictional film of the event superceding the actual event itself? —Bwithh Join Up! See the World! 09:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC) copied from WP:RM Bobblehead 06:06, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Educational assignment
Hey, I am part of the group doing an educational assignment on this page. Here is an overview of what we propose to change, in order to try and improve the neutrality and scholarly quality of the page.

In the intro, some of the language is biased and emotive,e.g.colonial power to annihilate, wipe them out. therefore, we plan to make the language neutral and more objective. We also agree with adding sight and sound as a source in the intro.

In the subject area, we have references to back up some of the points e.g. "intended effect was the "Casbah-as-chorus", communicating with chanting, wailing and physical effect."

Shapiro

University of Hawai'i

Production and style - we want to edit the screenplay section quite extensively as we feel there are lots of claims or information given without references. There is also quite a bit of information given that isn't relevant to the screenplay. We would also like to add some further informartion about the visual style and techniques, which we have sources to back up with. e.g. how the film looks like a documentary. We also want to add some more information about sound and music such as the use of voiceovers and it's effect.

Post-release history - we want to change critical acclaim to critical recpetion. Also, some of the language is a bit bias in the critical acclaim section. We also want to add more and differing receptions of the film. In the Political controversies of 1960s, we want to add arguments from the director that the film was neutral and not against the French. In addition, we want to add more information about how and why the film was banned in France. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enajedaw (talk • contribs) 12:08, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

The Day of the Roses

The Day of the Roses is a two-part Australian television mini-series, a docu-drama directed by Peter Fisk, based on the events of the 1977 Granville railway disaster. The film was made in 1998 and runs over 3.5 hours. Described as "a dramatic depiction of real events", it was based on a manuscript by Murray Hubbard and Ray Connor. It won the 1999 AACTA Award for Best Telefeature, Mini Series or Short Run Series.

Plot
Part 1 starts with roses being dropped on the track to commemorate those lost then shifts to the aftermath of the wreck where first responders are arriving at the scene. Five months later, the coroner, Tom Weir, brings in Boris Osman, an engineer to help him investigate the crash and Weir begins to be pressured by the state-owned rail company to conclude his report quickly. After failing to access the damaged train, Osman thinks it's because the investigation will have to disclose why the tracks that caused the wreck, and the train itself, were in such bad shape. Osman thinks it was caused by the politicians in office allowing the rail system to deteriorate, and his investigations reveal that the overweight bridge was recently hit twice before. Osman also learns this is the third time this locomotive went off the rails. Pressure begins to be brought on the coroner from Chief Stipendiary Magistrate Murray Farquhar to stop asking to look at the train, but he decides to use his authority to force the rail company to let Osman examine the locomotive.

The inquest begins, with Osman recounting how the tragedy happened early on 18 January, alternating with flashbacks of the stories of some passengers who traveled on the ill-fated train, leading up to the depiction of the accident. The train was 3 minutes late at Parramatta and was riding faster than normal to make up time. Due to worn out track and worn out wheels on the locomotive, it jumps the rails and hits the struts of a bridge, causing it to subsequently collapse on the train. The community springs into action to aid the survivors, although the worst is also shown as looters steal from rescue vehicles too. Several of the rescuers testify at the inquest and recount their actions on the day of the accident.

In Part 2, the inquest, flashbacks, and use of archive news coverage continue. Many rescuers risk their own lives to save the injured. Even when ordered to leave due to the danger of further collapse, many refuse to abandon survivors, and many are traumatized by what they saw. In all, they find 83 dead. Soon Ormond comes under attack for saying that it was the condition of the locomotive's wheels that contributed to the accident, since while $200 million has been allocated to repair the network's tracks, there is no money to also repair the locomotives. The families of the dead try to cope, while Gerry Buchtmann, who went to Granville while on sick leave from his emergency responder job has to fight to keep his job, since the powers that be want to fire him for doing just that. In spite of pressure, the coroner finds that the locomotive's condition contributed to the accident. Osman later learns that even though the rail company knew this type of locomotive was dangerous due to a derailment 11 months before Granville, they took no steps to lower the speed on this line because it came from an electoral district that often decided national elections and the government did not want to anger the voters by making their train late. We return to the memorial service, while on screen captions tell us what happened to some of the people involved in the crash and the investigation.

USS PC-1217

USS PC-1217 was a PC-461-class submarine chaser built for the United States Navy during World War II. PC-1217 had been decommissioned by 1948, and although sold for scrapping at that time, she remains at the former Donjon Marine Yard in Rossville, Staten Island.

Career
PC-1217 was laid down on 26 May 1943 by the Luders Marine Construction Co. of Stamford, Connecticut. She was launched on 26 September 1943, and commissioned on 27 April 1944 with Lieutenant Burt D. Reedy commanding and Lt(jg) Robert S. Bolles Exec. Lt(jg) Louis B. Pieper #3, Ensigns: William C. Graham and Robert K. McConnell.

PC-1217's shakedown cruise was out of Stamford, and then the U.S. Naval Frontier Base, Tompkinsville, Staten Island along the Atlantic coast. The ship's crew attended SCTC in Miami, Florida from 1 February 1944 through 20 April 1944. The crew traveled north by rail to Stamford, and moved aboard the ship on 22 April 1944. During the late spring and summer of 1944, the 1217 (call sign NQXG) was assigned to convoy escort, anti-buzz-bomb and anti-submarine patrol duty with the Eastern Sea Frontier (the east coast from Canada down to Cuba). The 1217 made numerous voyages escorting convoys from New York City to Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Cuba and from Argentia, Newfoundland to New York City.

PC-1217 was on convoy duty escorting convoy NG 458 to Guantanamo Bay when it encountered the Great Atlantic Hurricane of 1944 on 12–14 September. This was one of the largest Atlantic hurricanes ever recorded (Category 4) with estimated 140 mph (220 km/h) winds and a barometric low pressure of 27.75” (705 mmHg). The storm had a devastating effect on ships in its path; five U.S. Navy ships were sunk and 344 sailors were killed in the storm. PC-1217 was severely damaged and put into Jacksonville, Florida for emergency repairs.

Successfully repaired, PC-1217 remained in service through World War II. She was sold to the Maritime Commission in early 1948.

The remains of PC-1217 are at a marine scrapyard at Rossville, Staten Island in New York.

Talk:Dassehra

Spellings
I am familiar only with Dasara. Never seen it spelt "Dussehra". Having Google'd it, Dussehra wins with 272,000 hits. Dasara second, with 135,000. The two transliterations that were part of the original article came up with only 37,000 and 17,000 respectively. I've changed the article to reflect these findings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vvuppala (talk • contribs) 02:49, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

I am a hindu and I know that Dasara and Dussehra are the same festival, just spelled defferently, the two articles shoule be merged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.217.73.158 (talk • contribs) 03:53, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Different person*

 * Please read WP:COMMONNAME and WP:RM. If you really believe that Dussehra is not the correct spelling then you are going to have to get the article moved to whatever the correct spelling may be. As far as I can see, the sources at present in the article do indeed spell it Dussehra. We are not interested in whether you are a Hindu. - Sitush (talk) 15:26, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Oops, I have replied to a comment from 2006 that probably related to an earlier version of the article when it was indeed concerned with Hinduism! Anyway, someone has been changing the spellings recently to this thing in its current state as a movie article, so my comment above is still valid. - Sitush (talk) 15:27, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

 * I note the recent upload of File:Dassehra_Film_poster.jpg. Is it the same film? Is it an official poster? Why can't we find, say, a news source reporting the latest projected release date (it has been put back before). Given the amount of promotional editing that has gone on with this article in the past, I'm inclined to wait until the reviews come out and then update it accordingly. - Sitush (talk) 09:16, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Constructive theology

Constructive theology is the redefinition of what historically has been known as systematic theology. The reason for this reevaluation stems from the idea that, in systematic theology, the theologian attempts to develop a coherent theory running through the various doctrines within the tradition (Christology, eschatology, pneumatology, etc.). A potential problem underlying such study is that in constructing a system of theology, certain elements may be "forced" into a presupposed structure, or left out altogether, in order to maintain the coherence of the overall system.

In response to these perceived problems, some modern theologians, especially Christian feminists such as Sallie McFague, Catherine Keller, and Sharon V. Betcher, feel that the term systematic is no longer accurate in reference to theology, and prefer the language of constructive theology. However, constructive theologians vary as to whether they reject the term systematic altogether, with the term systematic continuing to be preferred especially by Roman Catholics. While not a proponent of the language of constructive theology, Karl Barth frequently criticized the practice of systematizing theology or structuring a coherent system upon a philosophical foundation external to theology's own internal commitments. Constructive theology tends to be interdisciplinary, imaginative, open-ended, public facing, lay-led, and practical.

The term constructive theology has been in use mostly since the 1980s. Constructive Theology is also the title of a journal on the subject. A Bloomsbury book series on constructive theology, titled Rethinking Theologies, Constructing Alternatives, is edited by Marion Grau, Susannah Cornwall, Steed Davidson, and Hyo-Dong Lee. This has included Cornwall's Un/familiar Theology, Jan-Olav Henriksen's Christianity as Distinct Practices, an edited volume entitled What is Constructive Theology? by Marion Grau and Jason Wyman, and Shelli M. Poe's The Constructive Promise of Schleiermacher's Theology.

Maadi Cup

The Maadi Cup is the prize for the New Zealand Secondary Schools Boys' Under 18 Rowing Eights. More colloquially, it is the name given to the New Zealand Secondary Schools Rowing Regatta, at which the Maadi Cup is raced. The regatta is the largest school sports event in the Southern Hemisphere, with over 2,087 rowers from 113 secondary schools participating in 2023 The regatta is held annually in late March, alternating between the country's two main rowing venues: Lake Karapiro near Cambridge (odd years), and Lake Ruataniwha near Twizel (even years).

The top prizes at the regatta are the Maadi Cup, Springbok Shield, Levin Jubilee Cup, Dawn Cup and Star Trophy. The fastest time recorded in the Maadi Cup event was by St Bede's College in 2023 with a time of 5:42.17, which is also the overall record time for the Boys' Under 18 Eight in New Zealand. This was also the closest race for the Maadi Cup in the event's history, with St Bede's College winning by 0.06 seconds over Hamilton Boys' High School. Also in the same year was the fastest time recorded in the Levin Jubilee Cup event by Rangi Ruru Girls' School with a time of 6:27.68.

History
During World War II, members of the 2nd NZEF based at Maadi Camp in Egypt competed in regattas on the Nile against local Egyptian rowing clubs. At a regatta held on 20 November 1943 the Maadi Camp Rowing Club "Kiwi" oarsmen beat the Cairo River Club by 11 points to six to win the Freyberg Cup, which they then gifted to the competitors. In return, as a token of friendship, Youssef Baghat presented the Kiwis with a cup. Youssef Baghat's cup was offered to the NZARA (now NZRA) as a trophy for an annual boys' eight-oared race between secondary schools and was brought to New Zealand at the end of the war.

Renamed the Maadi Cup it was first raced for in 1947 at Wanganui where it was won by Mount Albert Grammar School, who beat Sacred Heart College by a half-length. Four boats took part in the original race, with Allan Tong a member of Wanganui Technical College; he would later compete in the New Zealand at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, in the coxed four. The fourth boat was from St Augustine's College. The Maadi Cup gained its native timber pyramid shaped base from Mt Albert Grammar's woodwork master and first rowing coach, Jack Jenkin, in 1951. Only 17 schools have ever won the cup, with Wanganui Collegiate School the most successful, having won it 17 times.

Members for the 2nd NZEF competed in rowing regattas and won races run by the Cairo River Club until they were shipped back to New Zealand at the end of the War.

Major event wins
Schools that have won the Maadi Cup:

As of the 2024 event, 17 schools have won the Maadi Cup. The Springbok Shield is the prize for the boys' under 18 coxed four. It was instigated in 1964 by Mr Cecil Purvis who was visiting South Africa at the time and met with members of the Johannesburg youth rowing community. After much discussion the Springbok Shield eventuated. The Shield is made from segments of all the woods from South Africa and was first rowed for in 1965 when it was won by Hamilton Boys' High School.
 * Springbok Shield (BU184+)

As of the 2024 event, 19 schools have won the Springbok Shield. The Levin Cup is awarded to the winner of the girls' under 18 eight. In 1981 the Maadi Regatta was held on Lake Horowhenua. That year the Levin Borough Council was holding its 75th Jubilee. The mayor, Jack Bolderson, decided that a fitting memorial would be for a cup for the girls senior eight. The inaugural winner was Wanganui Girls College.
 * Levin 75th Jubilee Cup (GU188+)

As of the 2024 event, 11 schools have won the Levin 75th Jubilee Cup. The Dawn Cup is awarded to the winner of the girls' under 18 coxed four. At the Maadi Regatta of 1980 held on the Wairoa River, a cup was donated by Noel Lynch for the Girls Under 18 Four. On finals day, officials were unable to keep to time and by dark, the Boys Under 17 Eight and the Girls Under 18 Four had not been rowed. These races were then scheduled to be held at 6:30 am Sunday morning (no daylight saving). Because of this, Noel Lynch and Enoka Macdonald decided this trophy should be called the Dawn Cup and it was first won by Queen Charlotte College.
 * Dawn Cup (GU184+)

As of the 2024 event, 16 schools have won the Dawn Cup. Since 1997, the Star Trophy is the prize awarded to the top overall school at the Regatta, and therefore come to denote the top rowing school in New Zealand. The Star trophy was donated by Star Boating Club, which it is named after. The award is determined on a points basis: schools winning events get 5 points, runners up get 3 points, and third place-getters get one point.
 * Star Trophy

As of the 2024 event, 6 schools have won the Star Trophy Since 2003, the Executive Trophy is the prize awarded to the top overall school in sweep-oar events (i.e. pairs, fours and eights) at the Regatta.
 * Executive Trophy

As of the 2024 event, 4 schools have won the Executive Trophy. Since 2003, the Presidents Scull is the prize awarded to the top overall school in sculling events (i.e. singles, doubles and quads) at the Regatta.
 * Presidents Scull

As of the 2024 event, 12 schools have won the Presidents Scull.

Eligibility
Rowers and coxswains in the Maadi Cup must be full-time students (at least 0.8 FTE) at a registered New Zealand school, and must be studying at secondary level (Year 9 or above). They must also have a satisfactory school attendance record, in the opinion of the school's principal, in order to participate.

The regatta is split into four age classification: under 15, under 16, under 17, and under 18. Only students who are under the specified age at 1 January preceding the regatta may compete in that class. For example, a student who is aged 15 on 1 January may compete in the under 16, under 17 and under 18 classifications, but not the under 15 classification.

Females may cox male boats, and vice versa. The minimum weight for coxswains is 55 kg for all events at the regatta. Lightweight events used to be part of the regatta but were banned in 2016 following health concerns of the teenage athletes.

In mid-2007, the New Zealand Secondary Schools Sports Council introduced a quota system restricting the number of new-to-school and international students a school can field at national championships, including the Maadi Cup, in an aim to reduce top sporting schools "poaching" athletes from other schools. A new-to-school student is a student who has enrolled at the school in the 24 months prior to the event, excluding students who enrolled at the school in Year 9 or below. An international student is a student who is not a New Zealand or Australian citizen, or the holder of a New Zealand resident visa or domestic-endorsed student visa. For eights, no more than three crew members that are classified as a new-to-school or international students are permitted per boat, with no more than two crew members being international students. For all other events, no more than one crew member that is classified as a new-to-school or international student is permitted per boat.

Events
As of 2024

Participation
The Maadi Cup regatta regularly has over 2000 competitors from over 100 schools competing

Fludarabine

Fludarabine is a purine analogue and antineoplastic agent. It is generally used as its 5-O-phosphorylated form known as fludarabine phosphate, sold under the brand name Fludara among others. It is a chemotherapy medication used in the treatment of leukemia and lymphoma. These include chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, acute myeloid leukemia, and acute lymphocytic leukemia. It is given by injection into a vein or by mouth.

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, fever, rash, shortness of breath, numbness, vision changes, and feeling tired. Severe side effects include brain dysfunction, low blood cell counts, and lung inflammation. Use in pregnancy will likely result in harm to the fetus. Fludarabine is in the purine analog family of medications and works by interfering with the duplication of DNA.

Fludarabine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1991. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.

Medical uses
Fludarabine is highly effective in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, producing higher response rates than alkylating agents such as chlorambucil alone. Fludarabine is used in various combinations with cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone, dexamethasone and rituximab in the treatment of indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. As part of the FLAG or FLAMSA regimen, fludarabine is used together with cytarabine and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia. Because of its immunosuppressive effects, fludarabine is also used in some conditioning regimens prior to allogeneic stem cell transplant.

Side effects
Fludarabine is associated with profound lymphopenia, and as a consequence, increases the risk of opportunistic infections. People who have been treated with fludarabine will usually be asked to take co-trimoxazole or to use monthly nebulised pentamidine to prevent Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia. The profound lymphopenia caused by fludarabine renders patients susceptible to transfusion-associated graft versus host disease, an oftentimes fatal complication of blood transfusion. For this reason, all patients who have ever received fludarabine should only be given irradiated blood components.

Fludarabine causes anemia, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia, requiring regular blood count monitoring. Some patients require blood and platelet transfusion, or G-CSF injections to boost neutrophil counts.

Fludarabine is associated with the development of severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia in a proportion of patients.

Difficulties are often encountered when harvesting peripheral blood stem cells from patients previously treated with fludarabine.

Pharmacology
Fludarabine is a purine analog, and can be given both orally and intravenously. Fludarabine inhibits DNA synthesis by interfering with ribonucleotide reductase and DNA polymerase. It is active against both dividing and resting cells. Being phosphorylated, fludarabine is ionized at physiologic pH and is effectually trapped in blood. This provides some level of specificity for blood cells, both cancerous and healthy.

History
Fludarabine was produced by John Montgomery and Kathleen Hewson of the Southern Research Institute in 1968.

Names
Fludarabine is generally administered as its 5-O-phosphorylated form known as fludarabine phosphate, which is rapidly dephosphorylated to fludarabine in the plasma.

Julian Ashton

Julian Rossi Ashton (27 January 1851 – 27 April 1942) was an English-born Australian artist and teacher. He is best known for founding the Julian Ashton Art School in Sydney and encouraging Australian painters to capture local life and scenery en plein air, greatly influencing the impressionist Heidelberg School movement.

He was a principal organiser of the 1898 Exhibition of Australian Art in London, the first major exhibition of Australian art internationally.

Biography
Ashton was born in Addlestone, Surrey, the son of American amateur painter Thomas Briggs Ashton, and his wife Henrietta, daughter of Count Carlo Rossi, a Sardinian diplomat who married the soprano Henriette Sontag. The family moved to Penzance, Cornwall shortly after, and lived at Burley Grove, Gulval. At the age of 11, the family moved again to Totnes, Devon. His father died in 1864, and around age 15 he began working in the engineers' office of either the Great Western Railway or Great Eastern Railway. There he remained for six years using his entire leisure time painting at South Kensington. During this time he studied at the West London School of Art for three years. He then went to study at the Académie Julian in Paris and began illustrating books. He also had considerable success as a painter, exhibiting at the Royal Academy of Arts and elsewhere.

Ashton emigrated to Melbourne in 1878 under contract to David Syme's Illustrated Australian News and lived there for five years before moving to Sydney.

He was the elected president of the Art Society of New South Wales from 1886 to 1892. From 1892 to 1895 he taught classes on behalf of the society but was dismissed after choosing to exhibit his works with the newly formed Society of Artists.

He had a background in the contemporary French realism of the Barbizon School, which emphasised painting en plein air (i.e. direct from nature, as opposed to studio-based painting), and which laid the basis for the Impressionist movement. As a trustee of the Art Gallery of New South Wales he championed emerging Australian artists of the Australian Impressionist or Heidelberg School, and the Gallery's decision to collect these works owes much to his influence. Ashton is known for his paintings Evening, Merri Creek (1882), A Solitary Ramble (1888) and others.

George Lambert painted a portrait of Ashton which is in the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Lambert showed Ashton, then 77, with white hair and a military-type moustache, dressed in a grey suit and a dapper bow-tie, cigar in hand, sitting beside a table with a mass of objects. The cigar and wine suggest 'good living' and the flowers and fruit may have referred to Ashton's role as a gardener. Behind him there is a deep red curtain draped over a gold picture frame, behind which there is a curtain, creating an abstract arrangement of bold colours, with the frame suggesting Ashton's role as an artist, teacher and patron.

Julian Ashton Art School
The Sydney Art School (also known as the Julian Ashton Art School), which Ashton established in 1890 as the "Academy Julian", has been an influential art school in Australia.

Julian Ashton students have included William Dobell, John Olsen, Fred Leist, Brett Whiteley, and Nora Heysen.

(Julian) Howard Ashton's son, J. Richard Ashton, and his wife Wenda ran the School from 1960, when, among many gifted artists, Ian Chapman and Archibald Prize winner Francis Giacco attended, until 1977 when Phillip Ashton (Richard's son) became Principal, this being the time of Hadyn Wilson, political cartoonist Bill Leak and artist Paul Newton.

In 1988 the school was incorporated and Paul Delprat, Julian Ashton's great-grandson, himself an ex-student took over the running of the school, becoming the principal. In 1989 the school's antique casts and easels, which date back to 1890, were classified by the National Trust. The school's main campus is in The Rocks, Sydney, located opposite the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia at 117–119 George Street, The Rocks. The building is listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register. Since 2004 the school has also conducted classes at Headland Park, Georges Heights, Mosman.

Family
Ashton married twice: to Eliza Ann Pugh (died 15 July 1900) in Hackney, London on 1 August 1876, by whom he had four sons and a daughter.

 * (J)ulian Howard Ashton (9 August 1877 – 30 April 1964), journalist, artist, and writer and critic.

 * Rupert Rossi Ashton (c. 1885 – 4 March 1895).

 * Percy G. Ashton established a plantation in the New Hebrides, before becoming a soldier in World War I. His first wife died in May 1918. He later married jewellery designer Rhoda Wager in March 1920.

 * Bertha Ashton married W(illiam) Charlton Hubble (1880 – 17 February 1949) in July 1923. He was the (divorced) ex-husband of Georgina Temperley. Their son Tom Hubble went on to become a farmer and artist of no distinction.

He married again, on 8 September 1902 to (Constance) Irene Morley (died 11 April 1946).

On Monday, 27 April 1942 Ashton died at Bondi, Sydney, aged 91, after a long illness. Until his death he had still been an art teacher to others. The service for the 'Grand Old Man of Australian art' was held at the Northern Suburbs Crematorium on 29 April 1942.

Ashton also had a brother, George Rossi Ashton (born 1857), a black-and-white artist who lived in Australia between the years 1878 and 1893 before returning to London. He married Blanche Brooke Coppin, a daughter of George Coppin, in Melbourne on 23 October 1883.

Recognition
He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1930.

North Nazimabad

North Nazimabad (نارتھ ناظم آباد) is a suburb of, Karachi, Pakistan. North Nazimabad was developed in the late 1950s as a residential area for the employees of the federal government of Pakistan, and was named after Khawaja Nazimuddin who was the second Governor-General of Pakistan and later the second Prime Minister of Pakistan.

History
Before the independence of Pakistan, the area of the present day North Nazimabad was semi-arid land with small Sindhi and Kalmati Baloch villages nearly 15 km from downtown Karachi. The Government of Pakistan bought the land in 1950 from the local landlord and tribal leader Masti Brohi Khan in order to resettle the Muslim refugees from India that were living in tent cities in central Karachi. This suburb developed as KDA Scheme no. 2 was named after Khawaja Nazimuddin who was the second Governor-General of Pakistan and later the second Prime Minister of Pakistan as well. In late 1958, the northern area of Nazimabad, was to be developed as KDA Scheme 2' a.k.a. Timuria by Karachi Improvement Trust (KIT). North Nazimabad was originally established in 1958, with Karachi Improvement Trust (KIT) starting that housing scheme. The land was purchased by Pakistan Public Works Department from Sardar Masti Brohi Khan. The name North Nazimabad became popular and was later adopted instead of Timuria. Taimooria or Timuria was named after Amir Timur the progenitor of Mughal Empire of South Asia. North Nazimabad was developed as a residential area for federal government employees.

Urban Nazimabad
North Nazimabad was planned and designed in the late 1950s by Carlo Scarpa and Aldo Rossi, the Italian planners and architects. But in the early 1960s, the capital of Pakistan was transferred from Karachi to newly developed capital Islamabad. On account of these two factors, it is known as a well-planned outskirts of Karachi with blocks located alphabetically. North Nazimabad Town has a moderate literacy rate. and a relatively low street crime rate. With every passing day its becoming a posh suburb where previously It was considered as an upper middle class suburb of Karachi. In January 2005, Karachi city mayor Naimatullah Khan inaugurated a model park for the people of North Nazimabad.

In November 2007, it was announced by the Karachi city mayor Syed Mustafa Kamal that a gymkhana would be constructed on a 4.7 acres of land to provide recreation facilities to the middle-class people of North Nazimabad.

Demography
Muhajirs form the majority of north nazimabad's population. There are several minority ethnic groups in North Nazimabad including:Bohras, Ismailis, Kutchis, Punjabis, and Pakhtuns.

Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories)/Usage of American

This page has not yet been adopted as a policy.

The category naming conventions specify the country names to use in categories for "x of country" and "x in country" naming formats. In these categories the agreed usage is already "x of the United States".

For categories named "nationality x", a straw poll on this page has indicated a strong preference (44 out of 48 voters) for standardization of some sort on this issue. Approximately 2/3 of those supporting standardization indicated a preference for "American x" over "United States x" or "x of the United States" (31-12-2 with one voter voting for two options and one additional voter indicating a preference for some standard without indicating which), with the obvious exception of proper nouns (e.g. the U.S.Army does not call itself the American Army). Some users suggested there may have been a systemic bias in this poll, although there is no specific evidence of such bias.

Conclusion
The straw poll and the discussion seem to have played out. The straw poll shows 44 votes for a standard of sorts, against 4 votes opposing a standard. Of the three proposals on offer for a standard, "American X" gained 31 votes, "United States X" gained 12 votes, (Radiant's withdrawn), and "of the United States" gained 2 votes. That gives "American X" a near 69% share of the vote of all those expressing preference for a standard. Is it fair to assume a consensus on the position of "American X"?

 * By the way, I haven't voted, and a massive related thread has developed on the MoS talk page. Should we reopen the poll? Else accepting the verdict seems the only logical solution to me. PizzaMargherita 20:06, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments

 * It's a weak consensus, but give it a try and see how it works out. There has been little objection to cat renames to use American. Vegaswikian 21:38, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I got plenty of objection in Categories for deletion/Log/2005 December 22 - to the point where my attempt at renaming this - and several similar cats - was struck down. I guess this needs to be reconsidered?  wknight94 17:36, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Naming conventions for categories that are by country or by nationality are dictated by the subject matter more than the nationality. Thus if aircraft categories have their own standard (they do) then American/U.S. categories should reflect that standard.  Ships for example are Ships of the United States, and it would be strongly opposed to move them to American ships or United States ships.  We have just had a series of such CfDs.  Having consistency across all U.S. related categories is not a bad thing, but plays second to consistency within a subject matter. Josh 20:10, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

This (File:Real Varanus salvator cumingii.jpg) image is Earless monitor lizard (Lanthanotus borneensis) (Nijman, V, and Stoner, S. S. (2014). Keeping an ear to the ground: monitoring the trade in Earless Monitor Lizards.

suggestions!
Three sections that are missing that should be included in the entry are parental care, enemies, social behavior. While there is a discussion on reproduction, there is no mention of parental care which is something that can be added to boost the page’s comprehensiveness. Adding a section on enemies would also be interesting to see given that earless monitor lizards can swim underwater and it would be interesting to learn more about how they bypass aquatic predators and parasites during feeding. Lastly, it would be helpful to see the addition of a social behavior passage as very little was mentioned about their socialization and would help explain certain aspects of their classification such as why they are rarely seen. Perhaps they group up and live underground?

I will be looking to maybe add these in the future so this can serve as a reminder for myself

George Samis

George Roy Samis (born March 24, 1943) is a former politician in Ontario, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1974 to 1985 as a member of the New Democratic Party (NDP).

Background
He was born in Montreal, Quebec, and was educated at the Université de Montréal and the University of Waterloo. A high school teacher

Politics
He ran for the Ontario legislature in the 1971 provincial election, and lost to Progressive Conservative Fernand Guindon in Stormont.

Guindon resigned from the legislature in 1974, and Samis contested a by-election to succeed him. He was successful, defeating Progressive Conservative candidate Guy Leger. Samis was re-elected for the redistributed constituency of Cornwall in 1975, 1977 and 1981. He supported Bob Rae for the party leadership in 1982.

Samis announced his retirement from the legislature in early 1985. He remains the only New Democrat to have represented the city of Cornwall at either the provincial or federal level.

At the time of Samis's retirement, the Progressive Conservative party had governed Ontario without interruption for forty-two years. Samis argued in March 1985 that the NDP would be unable to remove the Progressive Conservatives from office unless it formed an alliance with the Ontario Liberal Party. After the 1985 election, an historic two-year pact between the Liberals and NDP allowed Liberal leader David Peterson to form government as premier. The Peterson government appointed Samis to the Ontario Highway Transport Board in 1986.

Samis later moved to the Kingston area. In the 1999 provincial election, he endorsed Liberal candidate John Cleary in Stormont—Dundas—Charlottenburgh, a successor riding to Cornwall.

Talk:Law of Singapore

Merging 'Law of Singapore' and 'Law Enforcement in Singapore'
I think that 'Law Enforcement in Singapore' should be merged with 'Singapore Police Force' as it doesn't really add anything more to the latter article. Jacklee 14:34, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * That does appear so in its present state. There is actually much scope for expansion, since the SPF isnt the only law-enforcing agency in Singapore.--Huaiwei 14:37, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, perhaps there are two ways to go about it. One is to have an article called 'Law Enforcement in Singapore' and talk about the Singapore Police Force and other law-enforcement agencies (eg, the Central Narcotics Bureau and Singapore Customs) in it. The other way is to do away with a general article on law enforcement and just have separate articles on the various law enforcement agencies, or reduce the law enforcement article to a page containing links to the other articles. I think the latter option may be preferable. Jacklee 00:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose they are different concepts, so even if they happen to be presented as the same concepts, we should remedy that instead of concur and effect any conflation. Chensiyuan 12:27, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'm not clear what you mean. Are you suggesting that 'Law Enforcement in Singapore' should be left as a distinct article and beefed up with more information (ie, the first option I suggested)? Jacklee 21:34, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * yes Chensiyuan 09:58, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Sharia law
Should there be a section on the place of Sharia courts in Singapore? -- Paul 22:33, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Syariah law -- that is, the family and succession law aspects of it -- does form part of the law in Singapore under the Administration of Muslim Law Act. However, I'm wondering if it is better to have a separate article on that, and perhaps just a brief mention in 'Law of Singapore' and a link to that article. Jacklee 21:37, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Proposed major changes to this article
I've been making major changes to this article to improve its content, and propose to make the following changes: Does anyone have views on this before I go ahead? Jacklee 08:31, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merging the 'Censorship' section with 'Censorship in Singapore' (and thus deleting it from this article).
 * Creating a new article entitled 'Criminal law in Singapore' (and thus deleting the 'Criminal law' section from this article).

 * what you said makes sense. Chensiyuan 08:37, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, I compared the contents of the 'Censorship' section with the 'Censorship in Singapore' article, and found that the article repeated much of what was in the former in greater detail. I've therefore deleted the 'Censorship' section. I've also created a new article 'Criminal law of Singapore' and transferred the contents of the 'Criminal law' section there. 'Criminal law of Singapore' is currently a stub and needs expansion. Jacklee 10:24, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Great work in expanding the article. I would like to suggest an organisation of the article. There seems to be a lack of an overview article providing an introduction to the Law or judicial system in Singapore. Such an article would cover major topics of the subject, such as
 * History of Law in Singapore
 * Sources of Law
 * Constitution of Singapore
 * Constitutional Rights
 * Criminal law (or Penal Code)
 * Capital punishment
 * Internal Security Act, etc
 * Other laws
 * Corporate law
 * Family law
 * Tort law (etc.)
 * Judicial system
 * Legal procedure
 * Legal profession
 * Law enforcement
 * Review (comment, criticism, controversy, etc)
 * In other words, I'm suggesting a Summary style. In a summary-styled article, each topic is described briefly (about 3-5 paragraphs), and there is a pointer to the main article that describes the topic in greater details. There would be some duplicate content, but the advantage is greater, as this would result in a stable overview article that is more accessible to readers. The creation of daughter articles also facilitates expansion for these more specific topics. The summary-style is popular in wikipedia, especially for articles which are more mature and of general topic. Examples of sg-articles adopting summary-style are Singapore, History of Singapore, Politics of Singapore, Education in Singapore. This article seems to be a suitable candidate for such an overview article, you may want to consider using this approach as you expands the topic further. Thanks for your contribution. --Vsion 05:00, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I think that would be a good idea. The current article is too heavily weighted in favour of the history of Singapore law and sources of Singapore law, which could be articles of their own. Producing a summary style article will probably take quite a long time – perhaps priority should be given to producing the individual detailed articles that you've proposed, then combining the introductory paragraphs of these articles to create the 'Law of Singapore' summary article.

Judicial independence
Hi, Jpatokal. The information you recently added to the article doesn't fit in the "Sources of Singapore law" section. Even if, as the US Department of State claims, the President and Minister for Home Affairs wield judicial power, this does not make them a "source of law". Furthermore, the information is POV – some information refuting the State Department's stand needs to be added, for balance. If you want to discuss that topic in the article there needs to be a separate section dealing with the issue. I have temporarily moved the information over to the article "Judicial system of Singapore" (which is itself in need of massive overhaul). — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 04:37, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Priado Blender is not an installer. It's a kind of compiler. And it is NOT limited to php-gtk. --Vilerage 03:00, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Noted - thanks, correcting (assuming it hasn't already been corrected!)
 * Priado Blender is not a compiler either. It's a weak encryption layer for php-win.exe and does not produce binary php code like the roadsend compiler

 * phc-win is the only true open source compiler I know of. It uses bcompiler for the actual bytecode compilation and windows resource embedding to create the exes.

Ray Stevenson

George Raymond Stevenson (25 May 1964 – 21 May 2023) was an actor from Northern Ireland, best known for his film and television work. He had a starring role as legionary Titus Pullo on the BBC/HBO television series Rome (2005–07), and portrayed two Marvel Comics characters: Frank Castle / The Punisher in Punisher: War Zone (2008) and The Super Hero Squad Show and Volstagg in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (2011–17).

His other notable film roles included Dagonet in King Arthur (2004), mobster Danny Greene in Kill the Irishman (2011), Porthos in The Three Musketeers (also 2011), and the villainous Governor-General Scott Buxton in RRR (2022). His television roles include Ukrainian mobster Isaak Sirko in the seventh season of Dexter (2012), for which he received a Saturn Award nomination; Blackbeard in the third and fourth seasons of Black Sails (2016-17), voicing Gar Saxon in Star Wars Rebels (2016-17) and Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2020), and portraying Baylan Skoll in Ahsoka (2023).

Stevenson was married to English actress Ruth Gemmell for eight years, and had 3 sons with Italian anthropologist Elisabetta Caraccia.

Early life
George Raymond Stevenson was born in Lisburn in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, on 25 May 1964, the second of three sons born to a British father and an Irish mother. His father was a Royal Air Force pilot. He moved to England with his family at the age of eight, first settling in the Lemington area of Newcastle upon Tyne and later in Seaton Delaval. He attended Bath Lane College (Newcastle upon Tyne) on a design course, then the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, graduating at the age of 29.

Film
Stevenson made his film debut in The Theory of Flight (1998) as a gigolo hired to help Helena Bonham Carter's character lose her virginity. In 2002, he starred in the short film No Man's Land, which was the antipodal picture from actor/director Edward Hicks prior to his graduation from the London Film School. In the 12-minute film, set during World War I, Stevenson portrayed an experienced private who is forced to help a novice officer (David Birkin) back to safety after they both find themselves trapped and isolated in "No Man's Land" during the Battle of Ypres. In 2004, he starred in King Arthur as Dagonet, a knight of the round table who sacrifices his life for his comrades. His first leading role in a film was in the Scottish horror picture Outpost (2008), portraying a mercenary pitted against Nazi zombies in a bunker somewhere in Eastern Europe. That same year, he also starred in Punisher: War Zone, as Frank Castle / The Punisher, a former United States Marine turned vigilante after the murder of his family. In 2010, he played an antagonist in the comedy The Other Guys.

In 2011, Stevenson appeared in the film Kill the Irishman, based on the book To Kill the Irishman: The War That Crippled the Mafia, as Danny Greene, the Irish mob boss who took on the Italian-American Cleveland crime family during the 1970s. He starred as Volstagg, one of Thor's trusted comrades, in the 2011 Marvel film Thor. Also that year, he played Porthos in Paul W. S. Anderson's adaptation of The Three Musketeers. He played Firefly in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, released in 2013. He appeared in the Finnish-American thriller film Big Game. In 2014, he starred in the film Divergent, based on the first book of The Divergent Series. He reprised his role in the sequels, The Divergent Series: Insurgent, released in March 2015, and The Divergent Series: Allegiant, released in March 2016.

In 2019, Stevenson was announced as a lead antagonist in the Telugu film RRR, directed by S. S. Rajamouli and released in 2022. This marked his debut in Indian cinema.

Television
Stevenson played legionary Titus Pullo in the BBC/HBO series Rome. His other television work included guest appearances in Waking the Dead, Murphy's Law and lead roles in City Central and At Home with the Braithwaites. He also appeared in TV films, including Some Kind of Life in 1995, and The Return of the Native. Some of his earliest parts were in two Catherine Cookson films: The Dwelling Place (1994) and The Tide of Life (1996). Stevenson reprised his role as the Punisher as a voice actor in The Super Hero Squad Show and played the role of Isaak Sirko in the seventh season of Dexter in 2012.

On 24 March 2015, it was announced by producers that Stevenson would be joining the cast of the Starz series Black Sails as the character Edward Teach.

Stevenson also appeared in Season 6 of the series Vikings as Othere, which ran from 2013-2020. He also appeared in Season 3 of the series Das Boot as Commander Jack Swinburne in 2022.

At Star Wars Celebration 2023, Stevenson was announced as playing the Dark Jedi Baylan Skoll in Ahsoka, a miniseries debuting on Disney+. After the series' debut following Stevenson's passing, Stevenson's Skoll quickly became a fan favorite. In an interview on Stevenson's part, showrunner Dave Filoni noted that when he was told to play Skoll as a villain, "[Stevenson] was like, ‘I don’t think so.’ I’m like, ‘Okay, I appreciate that you don’t think so, and Baylan wouldn’t think he’s the villain, but you are a villain in this.’ And he’s like, ‘We’ll see.’ It was kind of perfect.”  Stevenson also offered input on the design of his character's lightsaber hilt.

Stevenson's performance in Ahsoka also received considerable praise from critics. Metro described his work as "one of the highlights of the entire Star Wars series," while Collider described Stevenson as having "an inescapable gravitas" and that he "gave a masterclass in character building."

Stage
Stevenson's stage work included playing the part of Jesus Christ in the York Mystery Plays in 2000 at York Minster. In 2001, he took the part of Roger in the play Mouth to Mouth by Kevin Elyot, at the Albery Theatre in London with Lindsay Duncan and Michael Maloney. His best-known part was perhaps that of the Cardinal in The Duchess of Malfi by John Webster with Janet McTeer at the Royal National Theatre in 2003.

Personal life
In 1997, Stevenson married English actress Ruth Gemmell in London; they had met on the set of Band of Gold (1995), and later played a married couple in Peak Practice (1997). They divorced in 2005 after eight years of marriage.

Stevenson had three sons with Italian anthropologist Elisabetta Caraccia.

Death
Stevenson died on 21 May 2023, at age 58. No cause of death has been revealed, but he was reportedly hospitalised while on set filming Cassino in Ischia on the Italian island of Ischia. Stevenson's co-stars, including Rosario Dawson, Scott Adkins, and James Purefoy, paid tribute. Stevenson's role in Cassino in Ischia was taken over by Dominic Purcell.

The first episode of Ahsoka, released just over three months after Stevenson's death on 22 August 2023, includes a dedication to him: "For our friend, Ray". Ivanna Sakhno, who played Shin Hati, Stevenson's on-screen apprentice in Ahsoka, wrote in commemoration that she would be "forever his Wolf," in tribute to their characters being named after the two wargs who pursued the moon and sun in Norse mythology.
