Talk:Heaven Can Wait (1943 film)

Alternate ending
According to a poster on IMDb who claims to have seen the film on its first release, there was originally a different ending. When Henry is in the elevator to Heaven, it stops at the next floor to let a glamorous woman enter. The elevator operator asks her, "Up or down?", to which she replies "Down." The incorrigible Henry then shrugs his shoulders and says, "It's okay. Heaven can wait." Clarityfiend 18:53, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Change in external references
Wikipedia has pages for several people named "William Paul," but not for William J. Paul, Professor of Performing Arts at Washington University in St. Louis (as of April 5, 2010), who is the author of the essay linked from the external references. Until a Wikipedia page is created for him, it seems misleading to attach a link to his name. For this reason I have removed the link.

Jaunė

Jaunė (Еўна, Jaunė, literally, young woman in Lithuanian; died ca. 1344) was daughter of Prince Ivan of Polatsk and wife of Gediminas, the Grand Duke of Lithuania (1316–1341). She is mentioned in written sources only once – the Bychowiec Chronicle, a late and unreliable source. Therefore, some historians cast a serious doubt on her existence, but modern reference works still widely cite her as the ancestress of the Gediminids dynasty.

There are considerable doubts about how many wives Gediminas had. The Bychowiec Chronicle mentions three wives: Vida from Courland, Olga from Smolensk, and Jaunė. Some modern historians suggest that Gediminas had two wives, one from local pagan nobles, and Jaunė, an Orthodox. S. C. Rowell claims that Gediminas had only one wife, an unknown pagan duchess. He argues that an important marriage to a Ruthenian or Polish princess like Jaunė would have been noted in contemporary sources.

The Bychowiec Chronicle mentions that after Jaunė's death, brothers Algirdas and Kęstutis became displeased with Jaunutis, whom Gediminas chose as his heir. Soon they deposed Jaunutis. This episode is interpreted that weak Jaunutis was protected by his mother. If such interpretation was accurate, then it would testify the power and influence of queen mother in pagan Lithuania.

Xerophyllum (plant)

Xerophyllum is a genus of perennial plants from the family Melanthiaceae. The genus is native to North America.

There are two species:
 * Xerophyllum asphodeloides (Pursh) Nutt. - southern Appalachians from Alabama to Maryland; also Delaware + New Jersey
 * Xerophyllum tenax (Pursh) Nutt. - Alberta, British Columbia, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon, N + W California

Some species formerly placed in this genus have been transferred to others (within the tribe Melanthieae):
 * Xerophyllum gramineum = Stenanthium gramineum (Ker Gawl.) Morong
 * Xerophyllum sabadilla = Schoenocaulon officinale (Schltdl. & Cham.) A.Gray

The elongated leaves of X. tenax, commonly known as bear grass, are used for basket weaving by the Native Americans. Xerophyllum asphodeloides, also known as turkey's beard, is a popular garden plant, producing spikes of white flowers.

Jędrusie

Jędrusie (literally Little Andrews) was a Polish underground guerrilla group during World War II, created in 1941.

History
Its origins go back to October 1939 in Tarnobrzeg, when a group of Polish Boy Scouts and gymnasium students joined the Polish resistance. Initially a small sub-group of Szare Szeregi, since 1940 it was named Odwet (Vengeance). In 1941 the unit was reformed by and named after Lt. Władysław Jasiński, whose nom de guerre was Jędruś, after his 4-year-old son Andrzej (Jędruś is a Polish diminutive of that name). Jasiński, a reserve lieutenant of the Polish Army, was also their school teacher and the leader of their scouting troop.

The Jędrusie were active in Kraków, Sandomierz, Tarnobrzeg, Opatów, Rzeszów, Mielec and other areas of Central Poland and carried over a variety of tasks related to sabotage and diversion. Initially engaged mostly in training, reconnaissance, intelligence and distribution of underground press, since 1941 the group also started to organize armed resistance. The reason for that was the dire need to hide a number of members from the Germans and hide them in the countryside to avoid their arrest and execution. Among the notable actions of the early period were attacks on German-confiscated factories and farms. Jasiński was killed in action on January 9, 1943, and his place was taken by J. Wiącek Sowa. Jędrusie also organized material help for the families of resistance fighters, prisoners of war and concentration camp inmates, collected food for the prisoners held in POW camps, served as a criminal police in the areas of its operation and organized underground education, with secret schools preparing for a secret matura and underground NCO schools for military training.

On March 12, 1943, the Jędrusie assaulted the German Gestapo prison in Opatów and liberated more than 55 people held there. On March 29 of the same year a similar action was carried out in Mielec, where the unit collaborated with a local Armia Krajowa unit in liberating 180 people from a local prison. Since then the unit was unified with the Home Army and entered its ranks as the 4th company of the 2nd Home Army Infantry Regiment of the Land of Sandomierz.

After the start of the Operation Tempest in 1944, the unit fought together with the rest of the regiment against the German forces defending the bridgehead near Baranów and Sandomierz against the Red Army. It also liberated a number of towns in the area. At that time the unit numbered some 250 fully equipped soldiers in the first line. Apart from the Polish boys, it included also a number of Jews hiding from the Germans, as well as French and Russian POW camp escapees and even a number of deserters from the Wehrmacht.

After World War II
After the war many of the former Jędrusie members were persecuted by the NKVD and the communist authorities of Poland. Most of the fallen soldiers were exhumed in the 1950s and interred together with the first commander of the unit.

Christopher G. Moore

Christopher G. Moore (born 8 July 1952 ) is a Canadian writer of twenty-seven novels, six works of non-fiction, editor of three anthologies, and author of four radio dramas. He is best known for his trilogy A Killing Smile (1991), A Bewitching Smile (1992) and A Haunting Smile (1993), a behind-the-smiles study of his adopted country, Thailand, and for his Vincent Calvino Private Eye series set in Bangkok. His novels have been translated into German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hebrew, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Turkish, Norwegian, Polish, Russian and Thai.

Background
While a law professor at the University of British Columbia, he had the chance to visit Japan in 1983 and from Tokyo at the invitation of a friend continued on to visit Thailand for the first time. His first book His Lordship's Arsenal was published in New York in 1985. A short documentary about Moore's writing life in Thailand is titled The Big Weird World of Christopher G. Moore.

His Lordship's Arsenal
"The whole story in His Lordship's Arsenal spins around Wild Bill Anglin, a mysterious character who ends up in flames in a Canadian brothel. The sole owner of the only prototype of a submachine gun, Wild Bill gives it to Potter, an emissary sent by none other than Colonel Thompson, the founder of Auto-Ordnance Corporation... In order to get over the impasse he felt over the Delrose Hotel case, his next-door neighbour, a rich and dodgy psychiatrist, prompts Burlock to write an autobiographical sketch of his own life. And thus, the reader learns about the judge's childhood and adolescence under the supervision of Potter, about his time at Oxford and his friendship and affair with his future stepmother, and, most of all, his fascination with guns and his qualities as an excellent marksman."

Vincent Calvino
Vincent Calvino is a fictional Bangkok-based private eye created by Christopher G. Moore in the Vincent Calvino Private Eye series. Vincent Calvino first appeared in 1992 in Spirit House, the first novel in the series. Spirit House was included on The top 100 Kindle books of all time. https://ebookfriendly.com/top-100-kindle-books-all-time/ Dance Me to the End of Time, the 17th novel, the last in the series was published in January 2020. Moore's protagonist, Vincent Calvino, half-Jewish and half-Italian, is an ex-lawyer from New York, who, under ambiguous circumstances, gave up law practice and became a private eye in Bangkok. "Hewn from the hard-boiled Dashiell Hammett/Raymond Chandler model, Calvino is a tough, somewhat tarnished hero with a heart of gold."—Mark Schreiber, The Japan Times  Calvino has been said to epitomize "the complex, thus constantly troubled, private investigator of classic crime fiction, albeit replanted into the exotic, even surreal setting that is Thailand..."

"Thailand's finest expatriate crime-fiction novelist." —Paul Dorsey, The Nation

Chad A. Evans' Vincent Calvino's World, A Noir Guide to Southeast Asia explores the historical, social and cultural context of the 15 Calvino novels written over 25 years.

Critical acclaim
"Moore's flashy style successfully captures the dizzying contradictions in [Bangkok's] vertiginous landscape."—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times

"Think Dashiell Hammett in Bangkok. A hard-boiled, street-smart, often hilarious pursuit of a double murderer."—SFGate.

"In his novels, Moore writes about Bangkok as if it were one of the most famous cities of noir fiction. The nightlife there comes off as mysterious, dangerous, and exciting and the people in power are cast as no less corrupt than their counterparts might be in America. He makes Bangkok breathe and work as part of his cast. It's akin to what George Pelecanos does with Washington, D.C., and what Don Winslow does with San Diego. Moore is a stylist much like the writers of the early to mid-20th century who kick-started the P.I. genre in America. He writes with the angry and sad voice of Ross Macdonald and the flow of and beauty of Raymond Chandler. Penning his books in the third-person, he uses allegory and symbolism to great effect. The Calvino series is distinctive and wonderful, not to be missed, and I'm pleased to see that it is finally becoming better known in the States".

"Moore's noir thrillers and literary fiction—like Graham Greene, he alternates between 'entertainment' and serious novels—are subtle and compelling evocations of a part of the world rarely seen through our eyes."—Macleans.

"One of Moore's greatest strengths . . . is his knowledge of Southeast Asian history."—Newsweek, Joe Cochrane (November 10, 2003).

"Moore might be described as W. Somerset Maugham with a bit of Elmore Leonard and Mickey Spillane thrown in for good measure."—The Japan Times.

"Moore's work recalls the international 'entertainments' of Graham Greene or John le Carré, but the hard-bitten worldview and the cynical, bruised idealism of his battered hero is right out of Chandler. Intelligent and articulate, Moore offers a rich, passionate and original take on the private eye game, fans of the genre should definitely investigate, and fans of foreign intrigue will definitely appreciate."—KJ. Kingston Pierce, January Magazine

Baragwanathia

Baragwanathia is a genus of extinct lycopsid plants of Late Silurian to Early Devonian age, fossils of which have been found in Australia, Canada, China and Czechia. The name derives from William Baragwanath who discovered the first specimens of the type species, Baragwanathia longifolia, at Thomson River (Victoria, Australia).

Description
Baragwanathia differed from such taxa as Asteroxylon by the presence of vascular tissue in its leaves—Asteroxylon had enations without vascular tissue. The sporangia were borne in the axils of the leaves, which were spirally arranged. By comparison, the closely related genus Drepanophycus of the same period (see Drepanophycaceae for more details) bore its sporangia on the upper surface of specialized leaves known as sporophylls. Baragwanathia varied in size, with stems up to a few cm in diameter and up to a few metres in length. They were erect or arched, dichotomized (forked) occasionally, and had adventitious roots arising directly from prostrate stems. As in Asteroxylon the vascular bundle in the stems was an exarch actinostele, with a star-shaped arrangement of tracheids of a primitive annular or helical type (so-called G-type). Leaves were unbranched strap-shaped microphylls (4 cm long in B. longifolia) with a single prominent vascular thread, arranged spirally on the stem. The sporangia were borne in the axils of the leaves, broader than long, dehiscing by a transversely-orientated slit. Spores were trilete isospores. The gametophyte of Baragwanathia is currently unknown.

The species Baragwanathia brevifolia, described in 2017 from a single fossil specimen, had smaller microphylls than other species of Baragwanathia. It had marine species (bryozoans and brachiopods) attached to it, and apparently growing on it, showing that at least the lower part of the plant grew in marine water. As it is one of the oldest lycophyte fossils, the implication is that land-based lycophytes evolved from aquatic precursors.

Age
The age of Baragwanathia has been uncertain because the fossils described by Lang and Cookson (1935) at first appeared to be of Late Silurian age, associated as they were with the graptolite genus Monograptus. This would make the species by far the most advanced known plant of the time. However, the Silurian (Ludlovian) dating of the deposit in Victoria, Australia which produced the type specimens of Baragwanathia longifolia was later disproved, as Monograptus (and in particular the species present at that site) was later proved to persist into the Early Devonian. Since then, specimens from a different Victorian locality have been found that occur with veritable Late Silurian graptolites. The species Baragwanathis brevifolia has been dated to the lower Pridoli, about. The genus Baragwanathia persisted at least until the Emsian (Late Lower Devonian) and probably had a worldwide distribution.

Municipal Waste (band)

Municipal Waste is an American crossover thrash band from Richmond, Virginia, formed in 2000. To date, the band has released seven studio albums, three EPs and four splits. They have gone through a few line-up changes, leaving vocalist Tony Foresta and rhythm guitarist Ryan Waste as the only constant members. In addition to Foresta and Waste, their current lineup includes Philip "Land Phil" Hall on bass, Dave Witte on drums and Nick "Nikropolis" Poulos on lead guitar.

History
Municipal Waste was formed in Richmond, Virginia in 2000. Municipal Waste played their first show at a Richmond New Year's Eve Keg party in 2000–2001. The band took musical influences from crossover thrash bands such as D.R.I., Suicidal Tendencies, Animosity-era Corrosion of Conformity, Nuclear Assault and Attitude Adjustment. Municipal Waste toured throughout 2001 and 2002 in the US and Mexico. The band released two split albums—one 7" with Bad Acid Trip, the other being a 12" with Crucial Unit. They also had tracks on a number of compilations. In 2002, Brendan Trache left, being replaced by Brandon Ferrell, shortly before the Tango and Thrash on Amendment Records and Waste 'Em All was released on Six Weeks Records. Following the release of Waste 'Em All, both Andy Harris and Brandon Ferrell left the band, being replaced by bassist Philip "LandPhil" Hall and drummer Dave Witte respectively.

In 2005, Municipal Waste signed to Earache Records and recorded the Hazardous Mutation album. During 2005 and 2006, Municipal Waste shot a video for "Unleash the Bastards", with a censored and non-censored version.

In June 2007, Municipal Waste toured with Destruction in the United States, before heading into the studio with Hatebreed and Shadows Fall producer Zeuss, to record their next album The Art of Partying. The band followed this up with a headline tour of Europe, a tour with The Haunted and spots at Wacken Open Air in Germany and Reading and Leeds Festivals. They also went on the road with Suicidal Tendencies. A video was then recorded for the track "Headbanger Face Rip", which was filmed by Troma Entertainment.

In 2007, the band received great acclaim from the music press, with a top five album of the year placing in Sweden's Close Up magazine and top twenty positions in Big Cheese and Kerrang! They also were on the front cover of Metal Maniacs magazine but also made several appearances in NME.

They performed at the UK's Download Festival in June 2008. They also joined At the Gates on their "Suicidal Final Tour" along with Darkest Hour, Toxic Holocaust and Repulsion. In 2010, the band was confirmed as being part of the soundtrack for Namco Bandai Games' 2010 remake of Splatterhouse.

Municipal Waste released their fourth album Massive Aggressive in 2009, followed three years later by The Fatal Feast (2012), and then five years later by Slime and Punishment (2017). The band released the EP The Last Rager on October 11, 2019, and their seventh studio album Electrified Brain was released on July 1, 2022.

Musical style and influences
The band members themselves have stated that they are influenced from groups such as Suicidal Tendencies, D.R.I., Slayer, Anthrax, Exodus, Testament, Sepultura, Nuclear Assault, S.O.D., M.O.D. and the Cro-Mags.

Municipal Waste's songwriting approach takes form in short, crossover thrash songs. Lyrical topics have to do with alcoholism, mutants, or thrash metal. The music is also described as being, and the band has received the tag "party thrash" from the media. The band's song titles are also comedic, or give nods to their influences such as "Thrashing's My Business and Business is Good", "The Thrashin' of the Christ", "Thrash? Don't Mind If I Do" and "Drunk as Shit".

Talk:Holy Spirit Preparatory School

I found the following image on the Holy Spirit Prep website: http://www.holyspiritprep.org/i/hspshome.jpg Is it acceptable? Hspstudent (talk) 23:29, 11 January 2009 (UTC) hspstudent 1/11/2009

Okay, I understand why the controversy section I added is, well, controversial. However, as I said on the comments on my edit, it is something very well known in the Catholic community of the city. It got extensive news coverage and even spawned a new school, the Atlanta Academy. In order for this article to be NPOV, which is required by Wikipedia, it can't gloss over its own history. It is not a lie; it is not libel. It happened. I don't know who has been reverting it back to the version I wrote, but I believe he or she is taking the right action. Whoever is taking it down, please discuss it here, because you need to give a good reason why this part of the school's history should be omitted. Thank you. Antisthenex 17:57, 5 May 2010 (UTC

Disputed controversy section
Though it was originally founded as an independent Catholic school, it later became acquired by the Legion of Christ in 1999. This became a source of controversy for many parents, as the Legion of Christ considered to be a conservative organization within the Catholic Church. The Legion's founder, Martial Maciel Degollado, was accused of sexual misconduct by former priests and seminarians in 1997.

Shortly after the acquisition, four staff members were fired for reasons that the Legion refused to disclosed. This led to many teachers formally complaining, but they were subsequently fired. Over a quarter of all students at the school were withdrawn that year, after a meeting where over 500 parents complained to the new Legion-appointed board.

It was later revealed that the original firings took place because the guidance counselor was asked to provide the Legion with weekly lists of meetings with students and tell him what they said, and the principal was asked to sign a contract that required her to resign at the end of the school year and to report to school officials anything negative said by employees or parents against the Legionaries.

 * I cut the above from the article because it is a very one-sided presentation of the dispute. There are multiple points of view that need to be represented if this "controversy" is going to be described in a neutral way. There were lawsuits, motions for injunction filed against the school's accusers, and so on. I am also troubled by the guilt-by-association stuff going on here. Rather than rehash the salacious details of a scandal involving the legion founder, I think all that could be covered with a link to the article on the legion controversies. Compounding the one-sided presentation of the facts is the problem generally of dedicated "controversy" sections. In the context of this article, having a big section header labeled "controversy" is not particularly useful to the reader, and poses NPOV/Undue weight problems. As Jimbo said, "In many cases they [criticism sections] are necessary, and in many cases they are not necessary. And I agree with the view expressed by others that often, they are a symptom of bad writing. That is, it isn't that we should not include the criticisms, but that the information should be properly incorporated throughout the article rather than having a troll magnet section of random criticisms." We also need more specific citations for each controversial claim. If "it was later revealed" that someone was fired for X reason, we should be able to explain how this was revealed, or at least how we know it. The final problem that we are going to run into is that if we have a bunch of bickering back and forth between all the sides here, the coverage of this issue is likely to dominate the article, and that poses an undue weight problem (since it would make it appear that the controversy was the most important thing to discuss in an encyclopedia article about the school). My inclination would be to winnow this down to the following: (1) explain that there was a change in control involving the legion (internal link to legion; cite source noting change in control), (2) note that there were complaints/comment/whatever by parents, and (3) inform the reader that there was some sparring between faculty and administration that resulted in several lawsuits (cite source). I am very much opposed to involving the name of Marcial Maciel and bringing up sexual impropriety if there were no accusations of such here (I didn't see any accusations along those lines). DickClarkMises (talk) 09:39, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

 * You're right. Bringing up the school's troublesome history would be very inconvenient for us, so we should ignore it. Also, Marcial Maciel's history is pretty well accepted by those in the Catholic community. Even the Vatican is starting to take a stand (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/pope-acts-against-incest-priests-group-2046517.html). Then again, this doesn't matter. Just because an organization openly praises and adores a person who molests children doesn't indicate that there might be something wrong with them, right? Antisthenex (talk) 21:39, 8 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.53.238.32 (talk)

 * Maciel is irrelevant in this article. That controversy is covered in several different articles, including the one on the Legion of Christ. It is inappropriate to rehash that material here unless we've got some sort of source that states that there was some controversy about Maciel in relation to Holy Spirit Prep. To go beyond what the sources say and synthesize new conclusions is a type of original research that is not permitted on Wikipedia. DickClarkMises (talk) 02:14, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

John B. Parkin

John Burnett Parkin (26 June 1911 – 17 August 1975) was a Canadian architect. Parkin is best known as the principal of the firm John B. Parkin Associates, which he operated from 1947 to 1968 with partner John C. Parkin (no relation), and which produced the largest body of mid-century modern architecture in Canada.

Early career
After receiving his Dip. Arch. from the University of Toronto in 1935, Parkin moved to London, England, where he worked briefly for the National Coal Board, H.M. Office of Works, and finally the London practice of Howard and Souster. In 1937, he returned to Canada, where he operated in private practice until 1947.

He entered into an architectural practice with John Cresswell Parkin in 1947 and was joined, two months later, by his brother, landscape architect Edmond T. Parkin (1912–1994).

Parkin's records are held at the Canadian Architectural Archives in Calgary as the John B. Parkin/NORR fonds.

Post Parkin
He left Toronto in 1969 and established an office in Los Angeles, where he joined Roy Marshall (a structural engineer) and Lloyd Laity to form Parkin Architects, Engineers & Planners. After his death in 1975, his practice was continued by one of his sons, John B. Parkin Jr. The LA practice was eventually acquired by Cannon Design.

John C. Parkin continued to practise in Canada under various different firm names until, in 1986, under the leadership of Harland C. Lindsay, certain assets of the firm were acquired and Parkin Architects Limited was established. The firm is Canada's leading healthcare architecture practice. It is active in most of Canada's provinces, and in Nunavut, from offices in Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa.

 * John B. Parkin Associates, 1947–1968
 * John C. Parkin, 1968–1971
 * John C. Parkin Architects Engineers Planners, 1971–1972
 * Parkin Architects Engineers Planners, 1972–1976
 * Parkin Partnership Architects Planners, 1976–1986
 * Parkin Architects Limited, December 17, 1986–Present
 * Parkin Consultants Limited, 1988–2011
 * Parkin Architects Western Limited, 1998–2002
 * Parkin Architects Western Ltd., 2012–Present

Since 1986, there are no longer any Parkins associated with the firm. In 1968 Parkin associate Roy Marshall left to join Neish Owen Rowland Roy (NORR Limited) and was seen as a successor firm, while the name of the firm lives on as Parkin Architects Limited.,

Coolham

Coolham is a small village in the civil parish of Shipley and the Horsham District of West Sussex, England. It is located at the crossroads of the A272 and B2139 roads 2.8 miles (4.6 km) southeast of Billingshurst.

At the crossroads is an old timber-framed inn, the Selsey Arms, formerly the Duke's Head, and before that The King of Prussia.

During the Second World War there was an Advanced Landing Ground nearby called RAF Coolham, used to support the D-Day landings. This was only in use for about eighteen months, and had almost no permanent buildings. The airmen lived under canvas. Both Polish and British airmen were stationed there, and there is a monument outside the Selsey Arms that lists the names of those who died. The land has long since been reclaimed for agricultural purposes, but there is still a footpath around the field, with trees planted at intervals to commemorate the dead airmen. Each tree has a name plaque attached.

There was once a prominent Quaker community in Coolham, and the "Blue Idol" meeting house, a timber-framed building, still exists. William Penn, who earlier had founded Pennsylvania in America, was closely involved in its establishment, and is believed to have worshipped there. The local junior school was founded as the Coolham British School (later Coolham Primary School) in 1889 by the Quakers. In the mid-twentieth century it moved to its present site, where it is known as the William Penn Primary School.

Coolham is in the ancient parish of Shipley, which adjoins the A24, near the ruin of Knepp Castle. The castle dates back to medieval times, and was used as a hunting lodge for King John. The site of the parish church of St Mary the Virgin, Shipley, dates back to the Knights Templar, and close by is Shipley Windmill, which was once owned by the Sussex writer Hilaire Belloc during the first half of the twentieth century. The windmill was featured as the home of Jonathan Creek in a TV series that ran on UK television from the late 1990s.

Queensland Core Skills Test

The Queensland Core Skills Test, commonly referred to as the QCS Test or simply QCS, was a statewide test formerly completed by all Queensland year twelve students who were eligible for an Overall Position, and was optional (but beneficial) for tertiary entrance rank students. These ranks were used to gain entrance into tertiary degrees and courses. In-school subject rankings given to students were scaled and moderated using the performance of the subject cohort at individual schools on the QCS test. The QCS test was the only statewide external exam conducted in the two senior years of secondary education (Years 11 and 12). The test was held for the final time on 3–4 September 2019, and will be replaced with external examinations as part of the new Queensland Certificate of Education system.

The QCS Test was claimed to be an achievement test grounded in the Year 12 curriculum, rather than a measure of intelligence or aptitude. Moreover, the test was aimed to be accessible to all students regardless of their subject choices, with general knowledge, vocabulary and mathematics tested only to the common Year 10 level. The test was held over two consecutive days late in Term 3.

Format
The QCS Test comprised four papers—a two-hour writing task, a two-hour short response paper, and two one-and-a-half-hour multiple choice tests. These formed the three modes of assessment—extended writing, short response and multiple choice.

The writing task required students to write around 600 words of continuous English prose based on provided stimulus material and a set theme. This could include graphics, quotations and statistics.

The short response paper tested various skills through several numerical and 'verbal' (language-based) questions, including calculations, reading comprehension, reasoning and drawing. The two multiple choice papers required candidates to choose from four alternative answers for a variety of questions.

Results on the QCS test were returned to students as an overall grade from A to E with exit results in December.

Content tested
The test was designed by the Queensland Curriculum & Assessment Authority to test 49 common curricular elements, including basic skills from "recognising letters, words and other symbols" to complex skills such as "hypothesising" and "expounding a viewpoint".

Previous writing task topics

 * 2019: What's Next
 * 2018: Connection
 * 2017: What Lasts
 * 2016: Seeing Things
 * 2015: What Feeds Us

Trivia
In 2010, a student-organised movement, fuelled by the popular social networking site Facebook, suggested that students mention Bear Grylls in the writing task or in the short response task, similar to Project Clooney '09 in the General Achievement Test. A similar movement was started in 2011, substituting Harry Potter for Bear Grylls.

In 2018, some students started a movement to rename QCS to 'QCStress'.

These camps are familar to many people. With some additional work, the articles could be useful. Merging them into a single article or list is not a good idea because if information is added the article would be enormous. The information could be valuable but the only way to share it is to keep all the individual articles. Check out the WikiProject, the Philmont Scout Ranch category, and the article List of Philmont camps as well as the changes to the main Philmont article and a few of the camps (added an infobox).--L1AM 13:15, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Swift Run Gap

Swift Run Gap is a wind gap in the Blue Ridge Mountains located in the U.S. state of Virginia.

Geography
At an elevation of 2365 ft, it is the site of the mountain crossing of U.S. Highway 33 between the Piedmont region on the eastern side and the Shenandoah Valley (or Great Valley of Virginia) to the west.

Generally following the mountain ridge tops, the Skyline Drive, which is part of Shenandoah National Park, has an entry point at Swift Run Gap, and the Appalachian Trail also passes through nearby. The mountain ridge forms the border between Greene County and Rockingham County. Swift Run Gap lies along a drainage divide between southeast-flowing streams in the James River watershed and northwest-flowing streams that drain to the Shenandoah River system.

Geology
The bedrock beneath Swift Run Gap is 1.05-billion-year-old granitic rocks of the Blue Ridge basement complex. The type location for the Swift Run Formation, a Neoproterozoic metasedimentary unit, is approximately 1.5 mi east of the gap. A steeply dipping, northwest-striking transverse fault cuts through Swift Run Gap, and differential erosion of the fractured bedrock along this fault may be responsible for the development of a gap at this location.

History
Swift Run Gap is a long-used and historic crossing in the Blue Ridge Mountains. In 1716, Royal Governor Alexander Spotswood of the Virginia Colony, with 62 other men and 74 horses, led a real estate speculation expedition up the Rapidan River valley during westward exploration of the interior of Virginia. The party reached the top of the Blue Ridge at Swift Run Gap on September 5, 1716. Upon descending into a portion of the Shenandoah Valley on the east side of Massanutten Mountain, they reached a point near the current town of Elkton, where they celebrated their arrival on the banks of the Shenandoah River with multiple volleys and special toasts of brandy and claret to the King and the Governor, naming a peak for each.

After the journey, Spotswood gave each member of the expedition a pin made of gold and shaped like a horseshoe on which he had inscribed the words in Latin "Sic jurat transcendere montes", which translates in English to "Thus he swears to cross the mountains." The members of Governor Spotswood's expedition soon became popularly known as the "Knights of the Golden Horseshoe." A historical plaque and pyramid-shaped stone mark their historic crossing of 1716.

The Swift Run Gap Turnpike, a privately owned toll road, was first completed through Swift Run Gap in the early 19th century. In the 1840s, plans for the Louisa Railroad (renamed the Virginia Central Railroad in 1850) originally anticipated crossing the Blue Ridge at Swift Run Gap to reach Harrisonburg, but projected construction costs after surveying were prohibitive. This was primarily due to the steepness of the terrain on the eastern slope. Addressing the dilemma, Claudius Crozet, the legendary Chief Engineer of the Virginia Board of Public Works, determined that a system of tunnels at Rockfish Gap, about 30 mi to the south, would be more feasible. Despite later technological advances, no railroad crossing was ever attempted at Swift Run Gap.

Today the two-lane U.S. Route 33 at the lower elevations follows a small creek named Swift Run west from Stanardsville, but then about halfway up, requires multiple horseshoe curves on the steep grades of the eastern slope, as it ascends an increasingly winding pathway to reach Swift Run Gap.

Major General Francis H. Smith was the first Superintendent, 1839–1889, and first part-time Commandant (VMI commandants were part-time until 1907) of the new Virginia Military Institute VMI. Thomas Jonathan Jackson, a US Military Academy Graduate, later to become well known by his nickname of Stonewall Jackson, joined the VMI faculty in 1851. Jackson's intimate knowledge of this and other crossings of the Blue Ridge facilitated his tactics and enabled him to intimidate Union leaders such as General George B. McClellan into being less aggressive with their own plans of advancement in the first years of the American Civil War (1861–1865). Jackson and his famous "foot cavalry" used Swift Run Gap (among others) to shift his troops rapidly from the Shenandoah Valley theater to the Piedmont, which allowed him to appear unexpectedly before Union forces on several occasions.

Crotty, Tasmania

Crotty is the site of a former gazetted town in Western Tasmania, Australia. The town was on the southern bank of the King River, on the eastern lower slopes of Mount Jukes, below the West Coast Range. The locality was formerly named King River

Townsite
The town reserve was gazetted on 5 June 1900. The town survey was completed in November 1900. By 1902 there had been development of over 150 dwellings, and 700 people living in the town. The last residents to move away left in 1928.

In photographs found in Geoffrey Blainey's The Peaks of Lyell, the foreground shows a bridge, the Baxter River bridge. This was a crucial connection for people travelling between the railway stopping places.

Smelters failure
At the turn of the twentieth century, the township had had a smelter and railway connection with the North Mount Lyell mine.

The North Mount Lyell smelters failed, despite attempts in 1901 and 1902 to correct issues.

The company was absorbed by the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company in 1903.

The townsite soon lost population after the failure of smelter operations. The North Mount Lyell Railway which serviced Crotty's connections with Gormanston, Linda and Pillinger (Kelly Basin) remained in service for a couple of decades before closing.

Most historical photos of Crotty show the smelters, the hotels, and the very small houses/huts. The most iconic photograph is that found in Geoffrey Blainey's The Peaks of Lyell, dated 1902, which was taken from the embankment just east of the railway line, looking west, up the main street with the smoke from the smelter in the air, and Mount Jukes in the background.

Hydro dam era
During the late 1970s and at an early stage in the "No Dams" campaign to stop the establishment of a dam on the Franklin River, a small group of musicians in Queenstown formed a group called the 'Crotty Ditty Band'.

During the building of the King power development in the 1980s, the Hydro Crotty Camp was home to several hundred dam construction workers

In the 1990s the townsite was inundated by Lake Burbury after Crotty Dam was installed as a part of the King River Power development scheme. Despite this, the Tasmanian 1:25 000 Owen map still identifies the Proclaimed Town of Crotty. During 2016, Lake Burbury receded to a historically low level and remains of the town became visible.

On the eastern shores of Lake Burbury, the land south of the Lyell Highway, and adjacent to the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, is known as the Crotty Conservation Area. This has an area of 44.2 km2 and was established on 27 December 2000.

Is it really relevant to explain that the word Seiklus (Estonian for adventure) bears some similarity to the Finnish word for adventure? cly5m speaks Estonian, I believe, so it is very likely the intended reason for using the word. The Finnish similarity is merely of linguistic and not at all relevant to the game.

Crazy P

Crazy P (formerly known as Crazy Penis) is an English electronic music group, formed around 1995 by Chris Todd and Jim Baron.

History
Todd and Baron formed the band after meeting at the University of Nottingham. The band's sound incorporates soul music, disco and house music. By 2002 the band expanded to include bassist Tim Davies, percussionist Mav Kendricks, and vocalist Danielle Moore. Todd explained the origin of the band name: "A flat mate of mine had a record called 'loco pinga' which roughly translates to Crazy Penis, we were going to call ourselves loco pinga but once we told people that, they liked crazy penis better for the shock value."

They were signed by Manchester label Paper Recordings and have since released six albums and several singles, starting with "Digging Deeper" in 1996. They built up a strong fanbase in Australia where they have toured several times.

Their track "There's a Better Place" samples the song "Pure Imagination" from the movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

Their track "Stop Space Return" was released as iTunes UK's single of the week on 28 October 2008.

The band began using 'Crazy P' exclusively in 2008 with Moore explaining "We wanted to grow, and keep growing, so there was no point in cutting our nose off to spite our face by keeping the original name."

Year 12

Year 12 is an educational year group in schools in many countries including England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. It is sometimes the twelfth year of compulsory education, or alternatively a year of post-compulsory education. It usually incorporates students aged between 16 and 18, depending on the locality. It is also known as "senior year" in parts of Australia, where it is the final year of compulsory education. Year Twelve in England and Wales, and in New Zealand, is the equivalent of Eleventh grade, junior year, or grade 11 in the US and parts of Canada.

Australia
In Australia, Year 12 is either the 12th or 13th year of compulsory education or the first or second year of post-compulsory education, depending on the state. However, one may leave school in year 10, after completing a series of compulsory tests, unless in Victoria, or Queensland where no tests are required. In Queensland, when a young person stops being of compulsory school age (16 years) or completes year 10, they enter the compulsory participation phase. During the compulsory participation phase, a young person must participate in an eligible option. An eligible option is participation on a full-time basis in one of the following: approved education or training (including registration for home education) paid employment; or a combination of approved education, training and paid employment. Year 12 is the second year of "senior school", following Year 11 and sixth year of high school. Most students in Year 12 are aged between 17 and 18.

New Zealand
In New Zealand, Year 12 is the 12th full year of compulsory education, with students entering Year 12 generally aged between 15 & 1/2 and 17. The minimum age for leaving compulsory education is 16 years of age, so for some students this is their last year of compulsory education. Year 12 pupils are educated in Secondary schools or in Area schools. Year Twelve was previously known as the 6th form and most students will be studying for NCEA Level 2. It is followed by Year 13, the final year of secondary education in New Zealand.

England and Wales
Year 12 is the 12th year after Reception. In England, it is one option for the second-to-last year of compulsory education and usually forms part of a sixth form or sixth form college. It is also known as the "Lower sixth", with "Upper sixth" being Year 13 in a sixth form; in independent or vocational colleges these titles are not used. Years twelve and thirteen comprise Key Stage 5. In England, students of Year 12 age must continue their education in some form, but this can be part-time as part of an apprenticeship or traineeship, or alongside work. In Wales, Year 12 is not part of compulsory education. Year 12 is the first year of Key Stage 5, when the students are age 16 by August 31st.

Students in Year 12 in England and Wales can study A Level qualifications in sixth form college, or alternatively the more vocational BTEC. Students have the option to stay at the school where they studied their GCSE (or equivalent) qualifications, or move to another educational facility. There are many subjects available to study at AS Level in Year 12 including sciences, mathematics, humanities and languages but also vocational subjects such as art & design, drama and IT.

Scotland
In Scotland, 'Year Twelve' is known as fifth year or S5 and is the second last year of High School. Pupils can legally drop out at the end of fourth year (aged 16), making fifth and sixth year not compulsory.

Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, Year 12 is the fifth and final year of compulsory post-primary education. Students in Year 12 are aged between 15 and 16. It is the final year of Key Stage 4.

MacDonald sisters

The Macdonald sisters were four English women of part-Scottish descent born during the 19th century, notable for their marriages to well-known men. Alice, Georgiana, Agnes and Louisa were the daughters of Reverend George Browne Macdonald (1805–1868), a Wesleyan Methodist minister, and Hannah Jones (1809–1875).

Biographies
There were 11 children in the MacDonald family, seven daughters and four sons:

 * Mary (1834–1836), the firstborn
 * Henry (1836–1891), nicknamed Harry, who introduced his younger sisters Georgiana and Agnes to his artistic friends, including Edward Burne-Jones,known as the Birmingham Set (a group of artists which included William Morris)
 * Alice (1837–1910)
 * Caroline (1838–1854);
 * Georgiana (1840–1920)
 * Frederic William (1842–1928)
 * Agnes (1843–1906)
 * Louisa (1845–1925)
 * Walter (1847–1847)
 * Edith (1848–1937), who never married and lived at home until her mother's death
 * Herbert (1850–1851).

Alice
Alice was born on 4 April 1837 in Sheffield. She married John Lockwood Kipling whom she had met at Rudyard Lake in Staffordshire. They married in March 1865, after he was made Architectural Sculptor and Professor of Modelling at the School of Art and Industry in Bombay (now known as Sir Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy School of Art) during the preceding January, Alice became the mother of Rudyard Kipling on 30 December 1865 who was born on the school campus. Lord Dufferin once said of her, "Dullness and Mrs Kipling cannot exist in the same room."

Georgiana

George Macdonald was relocated by the Methodist Conference to a Birmingham circuit following the birth of Alice, and it was here that Georgie was born on 28 July 1840. Georgiana and her sister Agnes received attention from prospective suitors including members of the Birmingham Set, a loose group of visual artists and writers of which her brother was a member. She married the Pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Burne-Jones, a member of the Set, during 1859. They had three children, Philip, Christopher and Margaret - although Christopher died in infancy. She became in time the mother-in-law of John William Mackail and grandmother of Denis Mackail and Angela Thirkell (born Angela Mackail).

Agnes
Agnes was a talented pianist and thought to be the best looking of the sisters. She and her sister Georgiana received attention from prospective suitors who were friends of her brother and members of the Birmingham Set. She eventually married the future president of the Royal Academy Edward Poynter during 1866 in a double wedding with her quieter sister Louisa. Poynter appeared to be a manic depressive and he would paint continuously until finally collapsing when a work was finished. He was unemotional and it was Agnes who supplied the affection in their household. Her husband later produced paintings of two of her sisters. She, Jane Morris and her sisters Louisa and Georgiana are thought to be the inspiration for figures of Burne-Jones' 1864 painting Green Summer. Agnes, Lady Poynter, is thought to have died during 1906 from cancer despite an operation in 1903.

Louisa
Louisa was a writer who married the industrialist Alfred Baldwin in 1866 in a double wedding with her sister Agnes, who married Sir Edward John Poynter. Alfred and Louisa were the parents of Stanley Baldwin who was UK prime minister on three occasions. After his birth, Louisa seemed unhappy with her life in Worcestershire where her husband was an ironmaster. She had at least one miscarriage and spent time in a bath chair, and days alone in darkness.

Later commentators have noted that she would recover when on holiday, and have proposed that her illness was a form of hypochondria. During the 1870s the couple travelled to find a cure, and she tried a wide variety of medicines. She recovered in 1883 and took a leading role in her local village of Wilden, near Stourport.

In 1886, she published "A Martyr to Mammon", and, in 1889, "The Story of a Marriage". Her recovery did not outlast her husband's election to Parliament in 1902, and her condition was made worse by his death in 1908. She commissioned stained glass windows for Wilden church from Edward Burne-Jones.

Louisa was, in time, the grandmother to Oliver and Arthur Baldwin, respectively the second and third Earls Baldwin of Bewdley. Louisa wrote novels, short stories, and poetry, sometimes credited under her married name "Mrs Alfred Baldwin".

Talk:Kandahar Province

my E-mail address in kandhar is agha_hameedagha@yahoo.com

Was Kandahar Airport built in the 1960s or 1970s? The article says both.

Article states that there are 17 districts but only names 16

I read through it quickly. I noticed that Zhari district is missing. That's probably the 17th district not named. Zhari is made up from the northern part of Panjway district. It's beween Maiwand and Arghendab. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iuventuis 1 (talk • contribs) 21:30, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Persian
how can only 1% speak persian in the province when Tajiks and Hazaras make-up 28% of Kandahar city.--Inuit18 (talk) 06:18, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

 * MRRD clearly points out that Pashto is spoken by 98% of the total population. Baluchi, Dari and other languages are spoken by the remaining 2% of the population. Baluchi = 8000 people, Dari = 4000 people and others = 19000.  (Ketabtoon (talk) 06:24, 21 September 2010 (UTC))

If Tajiks and Hazaras make up 28% of Kandahar City, with a population approaching half a million, then they are by definition roughly 16% of the total population of Kandahar Province. 98% of the people in Kandahar may speak Pashto, but clearly 16% speak Parsi as their primary language.Uniquerman (talk) 19:27, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Population Discrepancy
The article states that roughly 800,000 people live in the capital city (Kandahar), yet it lists the population of the Kandahar district (which contains Kandahar city) as just under 500,000 people. I suspect that the 500,000 is the correct number because the New York Times article referenced gives that number. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.222.239.155 (talk) 20:13, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Personification of Russia

The personification of Russia is traditionally feminine and most commonly maternal since medieval times. Most common terms for national personification of Russia are:

Ма́тушка Росси́я (dim.); also Мать-Росси́я; or Ма́тушка Русь; or Росси́я-ма́тушка
 * Mother Russia

Ро́дина-мать
 * Homeland the Mother

In the Russian language, the concept of motherland is rendered by two terms:
 * "place of birth", (feminine gender, ро́дина)
 * "fatherland", (masculine gender, отечество, отчи́зна)

Harald Haarmann and Orlando Figes see the goddess Mokosh a source of the "Mother Russia" concept. Mikhail Epstein states that Russia's historical reliance on agriculture supported a mythological view of the earth as a "divine mother", leading in turn to the terminology of "Mother Russia". Epstein also notes the feminine perceptions of the names Rus' and Rossiia, allowing for natural expressions of matushka Rossiia (Mother Russia).

Usage
During the Soviet period, the Bolsheviks extensively utilized the image of "Motherland", especially during World War II.

Statues

David Černý

David Černý (born 15 December 1967) is a Czech artist. His works can be seen in different locations around Prague as well as in his own, Prague-based museum.

Early life
Černý was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia. From 1988 to 1994, he studied at the Kurt Gebauer Studio at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, and in 1995 and 1996, he participated in the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program in New York, US. In 1994–1995, he took the PSI artists residence in New York, and in 1996, he received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. In 1991, he took a residency of the Swiss government in Boswil.

Career
Černý gained notoriety in 1991 by painting pink a Soviet tank that served as a war memorial in central Prague. His act of civil disobedience was considered vandalism, and he was briefly arrested. Another of Černý's conspicuous contributions to Prague is Tower Babies (2000), a series of cast figures of crawling infants attached to Žižkov Television Tower.

In 2005 Černý created Shark, an image of Saddam Hussein in a tank of formaldehyde; the piece was presented at the second Prague Biennale that same year. Shark is a direct parody of the 1991 work The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living by Damien Hirst. In 2006 the piece was banned in Middelkerke, Belgium; in Bielsko-Biała, Poland; and also in the German town of Büdelsdorf. The mayor of Middelkerke, Michel Landuyt, admitted that he was worried that the exhibit could "shock people, including Muslims" in a year already marred by tensions associated with Danish cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed.

The deputy mayor of Bielsko-Biała, Zbigniew Michniowski, contacted the city-funded gallery, galeria BWA, on 9 September 2006, and threatened dire consequences if the artwork was not removed promptly. In response, Shark was transported to the Szara Gallery, in the nearby town of Cieszyn. Its mayor, Bogdan Ficek, distanced himself from Bielsko-Biała's position, saying, "I cannot see any reason a politician should censor art".

Černý's statue METALmorphosis is on display in Charlotte, North Carolina. He created a similar outdoor sculpture in 2014, in Prague, called Head of Franz Kafka.

His Entropa, presented to mark the Czech presidency of the Council of the European Union during the first half of 2009, attracted controversy both for its stereotyped depictions of the various EU member states, and because it turned out to have been created by Černý and two friends rather than, as promised, being a collaboration between artists from each of the member states. Some EU member states reacted negatively to the depiction of their country. For instance, Bulgaria decided to summon the Czech ambassador to Sofia in order to discuss the illustration of the Balkan country as a collection of squat toilets. Meanwhile, the Bulgarian permanent representative to the EU allegedly said, "It is a humiliation for the Bulgarian nation and an offense to our national dignity.” "

For the 2012 Summer Olympics, Černý created London Booster—a double-decker bus with mechanical arms for doing push-ups.

Awards
In 2000, Černý won the Jindřich Chalupecký Award.
