Lynette Horsburgh

Lynette Horsburgh (born 1974) is a Scottish-English semi-professional, world champion pool and national champion snooker player, as well as an international-class player of English billiards. In sport, she represents Scotland. Outside sport, she is a professional Web content producer and journalist at BBC News Online.

Career
Horsburgh began playing snooker at age 8 on a home table, wearing roller skates to reach the table, playing in earnest since 11, and competing in weekend tournaments as a teenager. She says that playing at the Commonwealth Sporting Club in Blackpool in 1983 with her hero, world champion Steve Davis, is what inspired her. She lamented the snooker hall's demolition in 2009 (though it had been converted into a bowling alley in 1989) and the role the venue played for her in a sport dominated by men: "I was heartbroken when it closed. It was my idea of heaven. ... If it wasn't for the Commonwealth I probably would never have taken the game up because most local venues at the time didn't allow ladies to play on the tables."

Early years
Despite the loss of her preferred venue and the snooker celebrity crowd – an ideal training pool – that it had attracted during its dozen years, Horsburgh, at age 17, reached the quarterfinal in the 1991 World Masters, losing 4–5 to Stacey Hillyard of England, after beating Kim Shaw of England in the last 16, and Natalie Stelmach of Canada in the last 32.

2001–2004
Horsburgh made it to the final round of the 2001 Women's World Snooker Championship, losing 2–4 to Lisa Quick of England. Horsburgh rose to the no. 1 ranking in the 2003/2004 season on the WLBSA Ladies' World Snooker Tour. She fought to the semifinals of the 2003 WLBSA Ladies' World Snooker Championship, and the final match of the LG Cup, losing only to Kelly Fisher, who was on an unprecedented 48-match winning streak across 10 tournaments. Horsburgh lost 3–4, despite having early leads of 1–0 and 2–1.

Horsburgh began transitioning into pool in 2003 and made it her primary cue sports focus by March 2004. She was the runner-up in the EPA 2004 Ladies' International Pool Tour Event 2 early in the year, and relegated her snooker play to amateur leagues one night per week, rarely practising except before a tournament.

Nevertheless, at age 30, she won the Ladies' United Kingdom Snooker Championship in November 2004, taking the final in a close 4--to-3 competition against England's Reanne Evans – a full-time player also competing in the open/men's circuit (and later a record-setting ten-time world champion, 2005–2014). Horsburgh had the highest break (consecutive run) of the event, of 82 points during her 4–1 semifinal victory against June Banks. She also scored breaks of 41 and 57 in her 4–1 quarterfinal win over Michelle Sherwin (Ireland national champion), and a break of 52 in the final (Evans managed a 68, but did not win the deciding frame). The UK victory ranked Horsburgh at no. 2 (after Kelly Fisher) in the WLBSA 2004/2005 season. Horsburgh said that she hadn't expected to win this and two national pool titles – WEPF Ladies' National Champion and English Pool Association (EPA) Champion of Champions – back-to-back over a few weeks, feeling her age and media career were disadvantages: "most of the top girls are full-time players and I am getting on a bit, while they seem to be getting younger." She did not compete in the November 2004 WLBSA Ladies' World Snooker Championship or the European Championship earlier that year due to non-sport work commitments.

2005–
In 2005, Horsburgh won the WEPF Women's European Championship in eightball pool, in which she was ranked the women's no. 1 that year, and was also a member of the victorious European Team B (Scotland) in the World Ladies' Team Championship in the same discipline. She competed again in the WLBSA Ladies' World Snooker Championship, reaching the finals for a second time, losing to Reanne Evans, despite having bested her for the world title in 2004. Horsburgh was also the runner up in a third discipline – English billiards – defeated 136–243 by three-time Indian national champion Anuja Thakur. She also competed in the 2006 Ladies' World Championship in the singles and (with Natalie Madden) doubles divisions.

Horsburgh became, at age 34, the World Eightball Pool Federation (WEPF) 2008 Women's World Champion. in the discipline of eightball pool (also known as blackball, and not to be confused with eight-ball). She beat Barbara Taylor (then-current World Cup Champion and later captain of the England Ladies' team) in the televised final, 8–6, after initially trailing 0–2; both were first-time finalists. Horsburgh bested the defending and eight-time World Champion Sue Thompson (a fellow Anglo-Scot) in the semifinal. Women Sport Report quoted Thompson as saying: "[Horsburgh] was awesome. If I had to lose my title to anyone, it would be to Lynette." Ranked no. 3 at the time in women's eightball pool, Horsburgh won the event in her home town of Blackpool, Lancashire, making it a triple win for locals with a year, as Blackpool natives Paul McGuire and Daryl Peach respectively won the WEPF Juniors' World Championship (at the same event) and the WPA World Nine-ball Championship (in the Philippines, previous November).

She next won the EPA 2009 Ladies' International Pool Tour opening event in March, again defeating fellow Sue Thompson (7–5), after narrowly besting another former world champion, Emma Cunningham, 6–5. Horsburgh also entered some open events (i.e., competing against male as well as female pros), such as the 2009 Ireland's Invitation 8Ball Pool Pro-Am Classic, where she reached the last 32.

Additional player background
She represents Scotland as an international player, both in pool and snooker, and has competed in the Scottish Pool Association (SPA), the national World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA) blackball pool league, as well as WEPF eightball pool and snooker. By 2012, she was focusing on nine-ball, and competing – including against men in open divisions – as far away as the United States for tournaments, and across the UK as one of only three women in the GB Nine-ball Tour, the discipline's professional league in the UK. As of 2015, she had remained active in competitive snooker, too, in the form of pro-am tournaments in ten-red snooker, a fast-paced version of the game. Horsburgh has appeared on BBC One's snooker game show Big Break three times.

Horsburgh has a recorded high snooker break of 135, only 12 short of a maximum break. She has trained with snooker coaches Sedge McClelland and Stephen Rowlings in snooker, and with eightball-pool world champion Mick Hill as well as Pete Mercer. Like many players, she has various nicknames; hers include "the Ice Maiden" for her cool demeanor, as well as "Spinny", "Spinderella", and "Wee One" for her short stature of only 5 foot even. This is unusual in the sport, in which reach is an advantage and lack of it requires development of skill with the ( stick). Horsburgh says she plays in high stiletto heels to compensate, though it causes foot discomfort. She shoots with the same custom-shortened Joe Davis 146 cue stick she has used since her days at the Commonwealth Sporting Club, and favoured three Blackpool snooker halls during their heyday: Potters, Great Harwood, and Rileys. Aside from Steve Davis, she cites Ronnie O'Sullivan as a favourite player. As of 2007, she was sponsored by ProMasters. In 2008, she began working as a personal pool and snooker coach, and an exhibition player (with Karl Boyes, Mick Hill, and Ian McCulloch).

Personal life
Lynette Anne Horsburgh was born in Blackpool on 8 February 1974 to Scottish parents James ("Ossie") and Anne (née Regan) Horsburgh, and works in nearby Blackburn. Her family ties to Scotland have led her to consistently choose to represent Scotland in sport. Outside of sport, she works as a Web content developer and journalist for BBC News Online, and got her start in media as a cue sports reporter for the Blackpool Gazette, and Pot Black Magazine. She completed a degree in law and accountancy at the University of Central Lancashire in 1997. Horsburgh's partner Karl Boyes, is also world champion – winner of the 2008 WPA World Cup of Pool (one of the top professional male events in nine-ball) and the 2010 WPA World Eight-ball Championship; he is co-owner of Blackpool's remaining pool and snooker club, Qs Cue Sports Lounge.

Ryan Confidential

Ryan Confidential is an Irish home-produced television programme which was broadcast on RTÉ One until 2010. It was presented by Gerry Ryan, until his unexpected death at the age of 53 on 30 April 2010. The programme was created by the producer David Blake Knox.

The format placed Ryan and celebrity guests in restaurants and hotels, designed to provide a more intimate setting than a studio. Ryan then interviewed his guests. The programme, commissioned by RTÉ's Entertainment Department, proved popular, and ran for eight seasons.

History
Guests on Ryan Confidential included Ben Dunne who spoke of feeling like a "bloody eejit" for provoking the set up of the Tribunals, Colin Farrell whose use of "salty language" prompted a large number of complaints despite an on-screen warning about the show's content and Brian O'Driscoll who appeared replete with "interesting haircut" before an important Celtic League match for Leinster. The Irish Times critic, Shane Hegarty, said of an early interview with multimillionaire step dancer Michael Flatley: ``Gerry Ryan returned to the television screens again this week. He has a habit of doing that, like a fly you thought you'd chased from the room.`` Ryan alluded to the upset this remark caused him in a special Ryan Tubridy Confidential, aired on 16 October 2008 to coincide with the release of the presenter's autobiography, in which the tables were turned on the regular interviewer as he was asked questions by his protégé Ryan Tubridy. Tubridy was selected after RTÉ expressed their dissatisfaction at Ryan's original plan - to interview himself.

The eighth and final series featured interviews with Conan O'Brien, Roger Moore and, Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion. The Hefner and O'Brien interviews were recorded in Los Angeles. In a rare interview O'Brien said he was more comfortable with Ireland than the pressures of American television.

Ryan's interview with Heather Mills from the eighth series was first broadcast the night before his death. A re-edited and extended version of the 2008 episode, in which Ryan was interviewed by Ryan Tubridy, was aired after the presenter's death. It drew an audience share of 40.5 per cent, and 565,000 viewers - the highest ratings for any episode of Ryan Confidential. The final Ryan Confidential filmed before the presenter's death, the George Hook episode, aired on 20 May 2010. It was viewed by more than 400,000 viewers. Hook later described Gerry Ryan as "a superb interviewer".

HMS Captain (1787)

HMS Captain was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 26 November 1787 at Limehouse. She served during the French revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars before being placed in harbour service in 1799. An accident caused her to burn and founder in 1813. Later that year she was raised and broken up.

French Revolutionary Wars
At the start of the French Revolutionary War, she was part of the Mediterranean fleet which occupied Toulon at the invitation of the Royalists in 1793 before being driven out by Revolutionary troops in an action where Napoleon Bonaparte made his name. During this operation Captain was deployed in the Raid on Genoa. In June 1796, Admiral Sir John Jervis transferred Captain Horatio Nelson from HMS Agamemnon (1781) into Captain. Jervis appointed Nelson commodore of a squadron that was first deployed off Livorno during Napoleon's march through northern Italy.

In September 1796, Gilbert Elliot, the British viceroy of the Anglo-Corsican Kingdom, decided that it was necessary to clear out Capraja, which belonged to the Genoese and which served as a base for privateers. He sent Nelson, in Captain, together with the transport HMS Gorgon (1785), Vanneau, the cutter Rose, and troops of the 51st Regiment of Foot to accomplish this task in September. On their way, HMS Minerva (1780) joined them. The troops landed on 18 September and the island surrendered immediately. Later that month Nelson oversaw the British withdrawal from Corsica.

In February 1797, Nelson had rejoined Jervis's fleet 25 miles west of Cape St. Vincent at the southwest tip of Portugal, just before it intercepted a Spanish fleet on 14 February. The Battle of Cape St Vincent made both Jervis's and Nelson's names. Jervis was made Earl St Vincent and Nelson was knighted for his initiative and daring.

Nelson had realised that the leading Spanish ships were escaping and wore Captain to break out of the line of battle to attack the much larger Spanish ships. Captain exchanged fire with the Spanish flagship, SPANISH SHIP Santísima Trinidad, which mounted 136 guns on four decks. Later Captain closely engaged the 80-gun HMS San Nicolas (1797), when the Spanish ship was disabled by a broadside from HMS Excellent (1787) and ran into another ship, the HMS San Josef (1797) of 112 guns. With Captain hardly manoeuvrable, Nelson ran his ship alongside San Nicolas, which he boarded. Nelson was preparing to order his men to board San Josef next when she signalled her intent to surrender. The boarding of San Nicolas, which resulted in the taking of the two larger ships was later immortalised as 'Nelson's Patent Bridge for Boarding First Rates.'

Captain was the most severely damaged of the British ships as she was in the thick of the action for longer than any other ship. She returned to service following repairs and on 6 May 1799 sailed for the Mediterranean, where she joined Captain John Markham's squadron.

After the Battle of Alexandria, the squadron under Contre-Admiral Jean-Baptiste Perrée, consisting of the 40-gun Junon, 36-gun HMS Alceste (1793), 32-gun HMS Courageuse (1799), 18-gun Salamine and the brig FRENCH BRIG Alerte escaped to Genoa.

On 17 June 1799 the French squadron, still under Perrée, was en route from Jaffa for Toulon when it encountered the British squadron under Markham in HMS Centaur (1797). In the ensuing Action of 18 June 1799, the British captured the entire French squadron, with Captain capturing Alerte. Markham described Alerte as a brig of 14 guns and 120 men, under the command of Lieutenant Dumay.

On 23 November 1800, Captain Sir Richard Strachan in Captain chased a French convoy in to the Morbihan where it sheltered under the protection of shore batteries and the 20-gun corvette Réolaise. HMS Magicienne (1781) was able to force the corvette onto the shore at Port Navalo, though she got off again. The hired armed cutter Suworow then towed in four boats with Lieutenant Hennah of Captain and a cutting-out party of seamen and marines. The hired armed cutters HIRED ARMED CUTTER Nile and HIRED ARMED CUTTER Lurcher towed in four more boats from Magicienne. Although the cutting-out party landed under heavy fire of grape and musketry, it was able to set the corvette on fire; shortly thereafter she blew up. Only one British seaman, a crewman from Suworow, was killed. However, Suworow's sails and rigging were so badly cut up that Captain had to tow her. A French report of the action stated that Captain Duclos, seeing the approach of the British, ran Réolaise on shore and burnt her.

Napoleonic Wars
In 1807 it had been one of the escorts for the expedition leaving Falmouth that would eventually attack Buenos Aires. Turned back north once the expedition reached the Cape Verde Islands.

Captain shared with HMS Amaranthe (1804), HMS Pompee (1793), and HMS Morne Fortunee (1804) in the prize money pool of £772 3s 3d for the capture of Frederick on 30 December 1808. This money was paid in June 1829.

Captain took part in the capture of Martinique in 1809. In April 1809, a strong French squadron arrived at the Îles des Saintes, south of Guadeloupe. There they were blockaded until 14 April, when a British force under Major-General Frederick Maitland invaded and captured the islands. Captain was among the naval vessels that shared in the proceeds of the capture of the islands.

Fate
Later that year, Captain was put into harbour service. On 22 March 1813, she was accidentally burned in the Hamoaze, off Plymouth, Devon. At the time, she was undergoing conversion to a sheer hulk. When it was clear that the fire, which had begun in the forecastle, had taken hold, her securing lines were cut and she was towed a safe distance away from the other vessels so that she could burn herself out. Even so, orders were given that she be sunk. Ships' launches with carronades then commenced a one-hour bombardment. She finally foundered after having burned down to the waterline. Two men died in the accident. The wreck was raised in July and broken up at Plymouth.

Ysabel

Ysabel is a fantasy novel by Canadian author Guy Gavriel Kay. It was first published in January 2007 by Viking Canada. It is Kay's first urban fantasy and his first book set outside his fantasied Europe milieux since the publication of his first three novels in the 1980s (The Fionavar Tapestry). Kay lived in the countryside near Aix-en-Provence, the setting of Ysabel, while he wrote it. The story tells of 15-year-old Ned Marriner who discovers his magical heritage while staying with his photographer father in Provence. He meets an American exchange student, the two become involved in an ancient "story" of love, sacrifice, and magic unfolding in the present day, which draws in Ned's family and friends.

Plot summary
Ned Marriner is in France with his father, Edward, a celebrated photographer who is working on a book about Provence. While his father shoots outside the deserted Saint-Sauveur Cathedral, Ned wanders in to look around. There he meets Kate Wenger, an American exchange student with a passion for ancient history and an extensive knowledge of the cathedral's past. The pair is startled by the appearance of a then-nameless man, who warns them to leave immediately, stating that they "have blundered into the corner of a very old story." Ned finds that he is able to sense the man's presence, a power of which he was previously unaware. Ned and Kate also notice an ancient carving of a woman on one of the church pillars, which the nameless man claims he created.

Frightened by the incident, Ned and Kate make plans to meet a few days later. Ned goes on a photo-scouting mission with his father's assistants, Greg, Steve, and Melanie, a young woman who is hyper-organized, witty, and well liked by everyone, including Ned. They head towards Mont Sainte-Victoire, a much-photographed location made famous by Paul Cézanne. But along the way, Ned falls suddenly and inexplicably ill. Arriving at the mountain, he is overcome by images of the slaughter that took place there centuries prior, when a Roman general killed thousands of Celts. He is rushed back to the team's villa, but once he has travelled only a short distance from the mountain, he recovers completely. Ned and Kate meet later that day in a coffee shop to discuss their situation. Ned is unnerved by the discovery of his strange abilities, while both are curious to find out more about the nameless man and his "story." Unaware that they are being watched by the nameless man, they make plans to meet again in Entremont, an ancient Celtic site, on the Eve of Beltaine. Kate leaves, but Ned becomes aware of the nameless man's presence and confronts him. The man tells him little, and soon leaves the cafe. Outside, however, he is attacked by unnaturally vicious dogs, and Ned steps in to defend him, saving his life.

Ned meets his Aunt Kim, a woman with mysterious powers. She tells him that she sensed he was in trouble, and came at once to offer her help. He discovers that she has the same ability to "sense" the presence of those with power, which she claims "runs in the family." They are confronted by a second nameless man, a large Celt with antlers, and are again warned to stay out of the "story." The Celt plans to kill the nameless man from the cathedral (who he calls a "Roman"), and threatens Ned for having helped him, but Aunt Kim manages to bluff their way out of the situation. Despite Ned's misgivings, Kate, who is acting strangely, convinces him to follow their original plan of visiting Entremont on Beltaine. They plan to be away from the place before dark, but not long after they enter the site, darkness falls several hours early. They hide from a ghostly procession of druids that arrives soon after and becomes more solid as the light continues to fade. The nameless Roman from the cathedral confronts them, ordering them to flee as soon as they can. Kate begins to struggle, possessed with a strange desire to join the druidic ceremony below. Just before she escapes, however, Melanie arrives, looking for Ned. As she approaches the waiting Celts, she is transformed into Ysabel, possessed by the spirit of an ancient woman who the two nameless men have been fighting over for centuries. Ysabel names the Roman Phelan and the Celt Cadell, and orders them to spend three days searching for her. Whoever finds her first will win her. Ned and Kate discover that this is the "story": a battle between two men for one woman's love, which has been repeated in various incarnations throughout the millennia.

Ned and Kate leave unnoticed, stricken by the loss of Melanie. He tells his father, Aunt Kim, Greg, and Steve everything that has happened, and also asks his mother, Meghan, to leave Sudan, where she is working with Doctors Without Borders, to be with them as they attempt to get Melanie back. Meghan and Kim, her sister, had a falling out when they were younger, and there are some strained moments once Meghan arrives and they attempt to work together and reconcile their differences. They are aided by Uncle Dave, Kim's husband, who also possesses special abilities and knowledge of the supernatural. Ned and his fellow searchers visit various historical sites in Provence over the following two days, trying to track down Ysabel's hiding place before Phelan or Cadell in the hopes that they will be able to rescue Melanie. Following a hint from one of the wild boars that are common throughout the South of France, Ned realizes that Ysabel is hiding on Mont Sainte-Victoire, the site where he experienced his mysterious illness. He decides to go there alone, as he is a marathon runner and will be able to reach the summit fastest. Despite feeling sick the entire way, Ned makes it to the summit before Phelan or Cadell, discovering Ysabel in a cavern that looks out over Provence. Cadell and Phelan arrive shortly thereafter, both claiming the victory. Ysabel points out that it was Ned who arrived first, and reveals that Ned is distantly descended from the original Ysabel (who would have gone by a different name). Both Phelan and Cadell follow Ysabel's orders to jump into the chasm, ending their story once and for all. When Ned looks at Ysabel again, he finds that she too has departed, leaving Melanie safe and unharmed in her place.

Relation to other series
Two characters from The Fionavar Tapestry, Dave Martyniuk and Kimberly Ford, appear in the book as well.

Reception
Ysabel has been one of Kay's most successful novels. It was nominated for the White Pine Award, and spent five weeks as the #1 bestseller in Canada. The Globe and Mail called Ysabel "a splendid addition to (Kay's) body of work," praising the novel's well-developed characters, interweaving of myth and believable relationships, and "breathless realism". Ysabel was awarded the 2008 World Fantasy Award—Novel.

Talk:Massacre of Lviv professors

Edit war
Faustian please do not provoke an edit war by restoring this exceptional claim that the professors were murdered because they wre Soviet collaborators. Please present SOURCES (SOURCES with an “s” at the end) that confirm the claim. If this is true it should not be difficult to find the sources. So far you FAILED to provide any sources other that ONE questionable PDF article in Ukrainian language nobody can even read. Thanks.--Jacurek (talk) 15:32, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I am sorry that you have chosen to remove information taken from a relaible source.Faustian (talk) 16:17, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Per the latest comment by an independent reviewer on the reliable sources noticeboard here: In reply to Faustian from above, if the material isn't contained in the English language Marples, then there is no problem with sourcing it from the equally scholarly and reliable Patrylyak. Fifelfoo (talk) 16:26, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I am restoring the text. I will not edit war - if someone chooses to censor it again I will have no choice but to take it up elsewhere. This is at least the second warning.Faustian (talk) 16:36, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

 * We are still in the process of building up a census, your constant declarations that you are right and/or that you will do this or that are boring. Why don't you channel all that energy in trying to find some sources for your extraordinary claims? J.kunikowski (talk) 17:05, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

 * There is nothing extraordinary about the fact that Patrilyak in his book published by the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences stated that "....". This is what the article says. It says "According to Patrilyak..." As we see, Patrilyak has been deemed to be a reliable source whose works are worthy of attention and of inclusion. I'm trying to compromise as much as possible, without censoring information. I am not saying that those professors did cooperate, I including in the article the fact that Patrilyak said they did. I also included the statement from a Polish newspaper that they did not. As I said, I'm trying to be as cooperative as possible here but a line I will not cross is to censor information from reliable sources - to keep it off wikipedia. Faustian (talk) 17:21, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * There is nothing extraordinary about the fact

Then you will have no problem finding source that contain this information and doesn't speak about "anti-colonial struggle" of OUN or understandable "hatred of Jews".--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 17:26, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Faustian, like I said before, the question then becomes one of due weight. If you have 1000 Polish+English+Russian/Soviet historians not detected any "active cooperation" then it's not clear why should the article mention 1 source you have found. J.kunikowski (talk) 18:27, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

--- Not sure what to do.. but I think there is no other choice that to report Faustian for extreme POV pushing and edit war. I hate to do that but what else can be done? Pleads for sources that would back up that ground breaking totally unheard of before claim are met with personal attacks and edit war..I think we tried everything on this talk page. Any ideas?--Jacurek (talk) 17:23, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Unfortunetely this seems the only option since Faustian insists on branding those victims as "Soviet cooperators" desptie being proven otherwise by sourced information and introducting biased sourced describing the Nazi collaborationists OUN as engaging in "anti-colonial struggle".

--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 17:29, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Nothing "biaased" about claiming that the OUN was enagegd in an anticolonial struggle and that their collaboration with the Nazis was part of that struggle. I have books by Timothy Snyder published by Yale saying that, too. Feel free to try to report me for refusing to allow you to censor information that has been deemed reliable and worthy of onclusion by nuetral editors on the reliable sources noticeboard.Faustian (talk) 17:48, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Nothing "biaased" about claiming that the OUN was enagegd in an anticolonial struggle Wait wait, how did the murder of Jews constitute "anti-colonial struggle"-Jews were neither colonists nor Ukraine was their colony."and worthy of onclusion" nobody wrote that Faustian. In fact editors wrote that biased source shouldn't be used.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 17:53, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * You didn't read: here: In reply to Faustian from above, if the material isn't contained in the English language Marples, then there is no problem with sourcing it from the equally scholarly and reliable Patrylyak. Fifelfoo (talk) 16:26, 25 October 2010 (UTC) And no, Patrilyak did not claim that the murder of Jews was a part of the anticolonial struggle (though I suppose they could be seen as working for the colonizers). He wrote that they were engaged in such a struggle and also wrote that they killed Jews. You put the two together yourself.
 * Faustian please, provide a citation from Snyder then. I read some of his books and I don't recall such conclusions. J.kunikowski (talk) 17:55, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * You don't recall him writing that the OUN/UPA were fighting for independence or that the Ukrainians saw the Poles as colonizers?Faustian (talk) 18:02, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * How was murdering Jews or children "fight for independence"?--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 18:05, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Faustian, one thing is how the Ukrainians saw the Poles and completely another what kind of struggle were OUN/UPA involved it. Above you claimed the following: Nothing "biased" about claiming that the OUN was enagegd in an anticolonial struggle and that their collaboration with the Nazis was part of that struggle. I don't remember Snyder writing anywhere that collaboration with the Nazis was part of the struggle. J.kunikowski (talk) 18:09, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * So he didn't write about them joining the police and helping the Nazis kill 200,000 Jews, then using the skills they learned to murder Poles? I remember him writing that, because I used his book to write this chapter:.Faustian (talk) 18:13, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * You are using a text you yourself wrote to claim something is true? Really Faustian, that is not how Wikipedia works.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 18:15, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * He did write that, but you were claiming something different above, specifically he did not write about anti-colonial struggle as far as I recall. J.kunikowski (talk) 18:36, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Fringe theories

 * Is there any other board that deals with the exceptional claims or extreme material being introduced on Wikipiedia?--Jacurek (talk) 17:38, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, things like Holocaust denial or glorification of Naiz collaboration are usually removed, although I have seen subtle introduction of such claims that can't be easy spotted by people without indepth knowledge.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 17:42, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Kind of wierd to describe as a "fringe belief" a statement published by the Academy of Sciences of the country where the events took place, written by a historian from that country's National University. Good luck with that approach. And try not to smear the author not other editors as people "glorifying" Nazi collaboration. That isn't very nice.Faustian (talk) 18:07, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Professors all over the world have fringe theories. If its not a fringe theory you won't have any problems presenting more sources dealing precisely with the murder(rather than just describing views of Nazi collaboration movement) presenting this information.--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 18:12, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Wulka hills
Can somebody find a ref for this location, and more about it? I am not finding much, there was a Wulka street, later renameed to Boy-Zelenski street... but "Wulka hills" are drawing a blank, in English and Polish. Some other Polish sources talk of "Wzgórza Wuleckie" ("Wuleckie hills") but that term is not used in English. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 17:58, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Every Ukrainian student they teached at the time is responsible for there death?
The current article states "The lists (of people who should be arrested by the Nazi's) were prepared by their Ukrainian students associated with OUN". The article is unclear how many students we are talking about. Unfortunately I can not read the references... I think it should be mentioned how big this group was, to avoid making it look that most of there Ukrainian students where killers. —  Yulia Romero  • Talk to me!  14:00, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Mmm, the source(s) is more vague than the text makes it appear.
 * The first source is here. It says:
 * "Wielu Polaków stawiało pytanie, skąd Niemcy mieli listę zgładzonych profesorów. Nie jest to istotne dla całej sprawy, gdyż można było nazwiska z adresem uzyskać choćby z przedwojennej książki telefonicznej. Można jednak wierzyć Walterowi Kutschmanowi, który oświadczył doc. Lanckorońskiej, że listę dostarczyli gestapo Ukraińcy. Całe szczęście, że na liście umieszczono tylko 25 profesorów. Przecież sam Uniwersytet posiadał 158 docentów i profesorów, a dochodzi do tego olbrzymia Politechnika, Akademia Medycyny Weterynaryjnej i Akademia Handlu Zagranicznego.

 * Sądząc z tego, że gestapo owej lipcowej nocy poszukiwało zmarłych w czasie wojny: okulistę prof. Adama Bednarskiego i dermatologa prof. Romana Leszczyńskiego33, należy przypuszczać, że lista powstała jeszcze w Krakowie. Wskutek odcięcia granicą od Lwowa w Krakowie nie wiedziano, kto w tym czasie zmarł. Najbardziej prawdopodobne wydaje się, że krakowskie gestapo przed wybuchem wojny niemiecko-radziecki ej zażądało od Ukraińców, studentów lub absolwentów wyższych uczelni lwowskich, podania nazwisk i adresów znanych im profesorów. Stąd taka względnie krótka, na szczęście, lista. "

 * Translation:
 * "A lot of Poles asked the question, where the Germans obtained the list of the killed professors. The issue is not actually relevant overall, since it was possible to obtain the names and addresses even from pre-war telephone books. However, it is believable that as Walter Kutschman told doc. Lanckoronska, that the list was provided to the gestapo by the Ukrainians. It was fortunate that only 25 professors were mentioned there. The University itself had 158 docents and professors, plus an additional large number at the Politechnic, The Academy of Veterinary Medicine and the Academy of Foreign Trade.

 * Based on the fact that on that July night the gestapo was also searching for people who had already died during the war: (okulista) prof. Adam Bednarski and dermatologist prof. Roman Leszczynski, it's probable that the list originated back in Krakow. As a consequence of the new border which seperated Lwow from Krakow, they didn't know who had died in the meantime. The most likely scenario is that the Krakow gestapo, before the outbreak of the Nazi-Soviet war (June 1941 - VM) demanded from the Ukrainians, students or the alumni of the higher educational institutions of Lwow, that they provide them with the names and addresses of professors they knew about. As a result the list was, fortunately, relatively short"

 * So the part about the students is a bit speculative (though this kind of speculation is done in history all the time) and it seems like it was students from Krakow not Lwow who made the list.

 * The second source, the IPN one, is not available. It MIGHT be the same thing as this but that only mentions that the Rzeszow IPN is seeking still living witnesses or individuals knowledgeable about the events. Nothing about students there. On the other hand it is possible that the link is actually to an IPN report which was a follow up to the file I'm linking. I don't know.

 * I recall that there was some discussion on this topic previously, in relation to the supposed or alleged pro-Soviet sympathies of some of the professors murdered. I seem to recall there was a source at one point which basically pointed out that the professors placed on the list were basically the ones who had fought in the Battle of Lwów (1918) on the Polish side. Maybe there was something about these students there as well. I'll have to go back and check the talk archives as well as older versions of the article.  Volunteer Marek   14:51, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Looking at the second source a bit more carefully, it does seem like it's a ref to a follow or final report on the investigation, whereas the one I found is just an announcement. However, I cannot find a copy of this report online.  Volunteer Marek   14:57, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

This is somewhat straying from the topic but it's sort of interesting - according to this IPN report, the person who made the mention to Lanckoronska about the executions (and presumably the origins of the list) was Hans Kruger (pl wiki). According to pl wiki Waltera Kutschmann was the person who sent a report to Berlin which mention that Kruger had been telling people about his participation in the massacre. Anyway, this IPN dokument also says that they are reviewing further German documents.  Volunteer Marek  15:03, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

I looked at the Polish wiki version of the article and there there is a little bit more about this. This source states:

"Akcję przeprowadzono bardzo sprawnie według wcześniej ustalonej listy sporządzonej prawdopodobnie w Krakowie przez studentów ukraińskich 85"

"The Action (the arrest of the professors) was carried out very skillfully based on earlier prepared list, compiled most likely in Krakow by Ukrainian students"

The footnote says:

"W historiografii często pisze się, że listy profesorów wg których hitlerowcy przeprowadzili aresztowania, a następnie egzekucję sporządzili na początku 1941 r. ukraińscy studenci z organizacji nacjonalistycznych, którzy znajdowali się w Krakowie. Wersja ta jest bardzo prawdopodobna, jednakże nie znaczy to, że byli oni winni mordu, gdyż nikt nie spodziewał się, że we Lwowie sprawa przybierze taki obrót (zob. W. Bonusiak: Kto zabił profesorów lwowskich? Rzeszów 1989). "

"In the historiography it is often written that the list of professors who were arrested by the Nazis, and then executed, was created at the beginning of 1941 by Ukrainian students from nationalist organizations, who were in krakow. This version is very probable, although this does not mean that they (the students) were guilty of these murders, since no one expected at the time that this (the murder) is what is going to happen in Lwow".

Then it cites another work. The Polish wiki article adds however that in other locals (Krzemieniec, Stanislawow) where the murders of Polish intelligentsia took place, these were also based on lists prepared by "Ukrainian nationalists". This second claim is cited to Motyka, "Od rzezi wołyńskiej do akcji Wisła", who's reliable and generally unbiased on the subject matter (though someone should check to make sure that this is indeed in the source).  Volunteer Marek  15:16, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Victim list
Is the list of victims really necessary here? Per WP:MEMORIAL, it should probably be removed, especially because the vast majority of those links are red. Perhaps it can be replaced with a paragraph that includes some of the people that we do have articles on. — howcheng  {chat} 17:44, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Victim-blaming and apologist garbage
Earlier I removed two sentences, one consisting of a victim-blaming denial with absolutely no credibility (that dozens of University professors had no involvement in politics, as if that mattered to the Nazis' goal of killing all Polish elites) and another that Ukrainians were not to blame because the Poles deserved death for cooperating with the Soviets (which is both unprovable and again does not matter since it was the Nazi goal to eliminate all elites to forestall any resistance). The user who reverted my edits also reverted my adjustment to the coordinates at the same time, suggesting that they did their revert without enough care.

Green Fish

Green Fish is a 1997 South Korean neo-noir crime film. It was the first feature-length film directed by Lee Chang-dong, who also co-wrote the screenplay. Lee had previously been known as a novelist and high school teacher. The film stars Han Suk-kyu in one of his first major film roles. It was the eighth highest-attended South Korean film of 1997.

Plot
Having just been discharged from the military, Mak-dong is on the train home. As he leans out the train platform, Mi-ae, a beautiful woman in the car ahead of him, is also leaning out. Her pink scarf escapes from her and poignantly lands on Mak-dong's face, blinding him. As he goes back into the train car to return the scarf, he becomes embroiled in a fight with a group of thugs who are harassing Mi-ae. From the beginning, Mak-dong is entangled in a relationship that becomes his undoing.

Home, Ilsan, is not the same for Mak-dong anymore. The fields, acacias and rice paddies have gone, replaced by high rise apartments. He discovers his mother is working as a house maid, and all of his siblings except his mentally disabled brother—who is literally the eldest brother and called "big brother," have left home, struggling to make a living. His sister is working as a hostess, his younger brother is working as an egg delivery man, and his older brother is a detective who is also a violent drunk. Mak-dong's dream, which he expresses to his brother, is for the whole family to live together again, running a family business, and living in harmony. His brother replies then how would any of them make a living?

While looking for work in an alienated neighborhood of Seoul, Youngdeungpo, Mak-dong again sees Mi-ae, the owner of the pink scarf, and follows her into a nightclub where she is a singer. She is also the girlfriend of a gang boss Bae Tae-gon, and when Mak-dong tries to defend her from his thugs when they force her into a car, he ends up getting beat up again. Later, at Mi-ae's urging, the boss gives him a reference for a job at a parking lot.

Mak-dong is given the opportunity to make a lot of money by inciting a fight with a council man who is obstructing Bae Tae-gon's building permit. In order to do this convincingly, Mak-dong breaks his fingers by slamming a door on them. Seeing him complete his task with such dedication, Bae Tae-gon elevates him by allowing him to call him "hyung," or "Big Brother," and admitting him as a full-fledged member of the gang. This causes some of the underlings to become disgruntled, as it would normally take at least a year to reach this status.

Now a member of 'the family', Mak-dong and Mi-ae find in each other a kindred spirit, the feeling between them not clearly defined, yet finding themselves drawn to each other through their common feeling of hopelessness. In an important scene on the train, Mi-ae and Mak-dong talk and he gives her a photo of the large, green tree in front of his home in Ilsan. Mi-ae is struck by Mak-dong's naivete and purity. It is revealed Mak-dong is a virgin. Her beeper goes off, and it is Bae Tae-gun telling her to return home immediately. She tells Mak-dong she will do whatever he says, and with a traditional Korean loyalty, he responds that if big brother has asked them to return they should. Mi-ae laughs bitterly at his old fashioned simplicity. After a night when Bae Tae-gon sends her up to the hotel room of a prosecutor as a sexual "favor", she insults the gang boss. Mak-dong witnesses Bae Tae-gon slapping her, then drives her home. She offers herself to Mak-ong even though she is "dirty."

Suddenly, Bae Tae-gon's own former gang boss Kim Yang-kil arrives from years behind bars to take for himself the little empire Bae Tae-gon has spent his life building. In several encounters with Kim Yang-kil, Bae Tae-gon is humiliated in front of his own gang. Bae Tae-gon takes Mak-dong up to the deserted building where he wants to build his future empire, and asks him what his dream is. Bae replies he also got as far as he did because of one of those dreams. Mak-dong makes a final expression of his loyalty by stabbing Kim Yang-kil to death in a men's bathroom. As blood flows everywhere, Mak-dong becomes hysterical.

Immediately after, Mak-dong calls home in the famous "phone booth" scene. He asks his mentally challenged "big brother" if he remembers how they used to fish in the river, and how one day he lost a whole day of fishing because he tried to catch one of the green fish and lost his slipper in the river. Immediately after, Bae Tae-gon takes Mak-dong to the deserted building, and being consistent with the ruthless nature that has got him so far in life, fatally shoots him, leaving him for dead. Mak-dong staggers out and sprawls across the windshield of Bae's car, staring straight into the camera and dying as Mi-ae screams in horror.

Some time later, Bae Tae-gon and Mi-ae have moved to the Ilsan New Town that typifies the new middle class suburbs that have sprung up around Seoul's satellite cities. One day they come upon an old-style restaurant in an old-style house run by a family. Mi-ae appears to be pregnant. The couple order chicken soup, and a chicken is slaughtered in front of them, recalling the sacrifice Mak-dong made for his dream to come true. Outside, Mi-ae recognizes with tears the tree in the photo she has kept all this time and realizes it is Mak-dong's family home.

Cast

 * Han Suk-kyu as Mak-dong
 * Shim Hye-jin as Mi-ae
 * Moon Sung-keun as Bae Tae-gon
 * Myung Gye-nam as Kim Yang-kil
 * Kim Yong-nam as Department chief Park
 * Han Seon-kyu as Mak-dong's 2nd eldest brother
 * Jung Jin-young as Mak-dong's 3rd eldest brother
 * Oh Ji-hye as Soon-ok
 * Son Young-soon as Mother
 * Song Kang-ho as Pan-su
 * Lee Moon-sik as Thug on train

Influence
Although director Lee is renowned for superb writing, he allowed Han to improvise the now-famous extended monologue inside the telephone booth. The scene became iconic enough to be spoofed by the 2002 Korean compendium of satire, "Funny Movie" directed by Gyu-seong Jang. As recently as August 2007, the scene was once again spoofed in the MBC drama "Kimchi Cheese Smile".

The character of "Kim Yang-gil" (a rival mob boss), as played by Myung Gye-nam, has been parodied with an extended back-story in the 2006 black comedy The Customer is Always Right.

The pivotal scene in a men's restroom, has recently been cited by poet/director Yoo Ha for informing the basis of a similar scene in his more stylistically baroque A Dirty Carnival.

ZoneAlarm

ZoneAlarm is an internet security software company that provides consumer antivirus and firewall products. ZoneAlarm was developed by Zone Labs, whose CEOs were Kevin Nickel, Mouad Abid and Shahin and the Company was acquired in March 2004 by Check Point. ZoneAlarm's firewall security products include an inbound intrusion detection system, as well as the ability to control which programs can open outbound connections.

Technical description
In ZoneAlarm, program access is controlled by way of "zones", into which all network connections are divided. The "trusted zone" which generally includes the user's local area network can share resources such as files and printers. The "Internet zone" includes everything without the trusted zone. The user can grant permissions (trusted zone client, trusted zone server, Internet zone client, Internet zone server) to programs before they attempt to access the Internet (e.g. before the first use) or ZoneAlarm will ask the user to grant permissions on the first access attempt.

"True Vector Internet Monitor", also known as "TrueVector Security Engine", is a Windows service that is the core of ZoneAlarm. In the processes list its Image Name is "vsmon.exe". This monitors internet traffic and generates alerts for disallowed access. "Operating System Firewall" (OSFirewall) monitors programs and generates alerts when they perform suspicious behaviors. The OSFirewall is useful in preventing rootkits and other spyware. "SmartDefense Advisor" is the name ZoneAlarm give to a service available in all versions that helps the user with certain types of alert, using a database of trusted program signatures to provide the user with advice on allowing or denying Internet access in response to program requests.

The current free version of Zonealarm has an ad for the paid version that pops up every time you turn on your computer after a short delay.

Awards and certifications
Both the free and Pro editions of ZoneAlarm Firewall were designated as PCMag's Editor's Choice in 2017.

Controversies
As of January 2006, ZoneAlarm was reportedly sending data to the company's servers in a covert fashion. A developer dismissed allegations that ZoneAlarm was spying on its clients, saying that it was an issue related to software updates and that it would be fixed.

In December 2007, a browser toolbar was shipped with ZoneAlarm as an opt-out, which was not well received. This was removed in later versions of the software.

On September 2, 2010, the free version of ZoneAlarm started showing a "Global Virus Alert" popup as a scareware tactic to get users to switch to their paid security suite. The popup was turned off by ZoneAlarm marketing team after an uproar from disgruntled users, many of whom uninstalled the software.

Hirschholm Palace

Hirschholm Palace, also known as Hørsholm Palace, was a royal palace located in present-day Hørsholm municipality just north of Copenhagen, Denmark. It was rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 1740s and, one of the finest buildings of its time, it became known as the "Versailles of the North".

It developed a notorious reputation in connection with its role in the affair between Johann Friedrich Struensee and Queen Caroline Mathilda in the 1770s. After that it fell into disrepair and was demolished in 1809–1813.

The palace was designed by Lauritz de Thurah for King Christian VI and his consort Queen Sophie Magdalene, and was intended as their summer residence.

Early history
Hirschholm Palace was built on a site that had been used since the Middle Ages. From around 1100 there was a fortification at site known as Hørningsholm. In 1391 the estate became crown land when Queen Margrete I took possession of the property. At the end of the 16th century Frederik II and Christian IV built a royal hunting lodge on the site. The estate, which covered a large area (the present-day municipalities of Hørsholm, Karlebo, Birkerød and a part of Allerød) was called the Noble Estate of Hørsholm (adelsgodset Hørsholm), and was endowed to various noblemen and members of the royal court.

By the middle of the 17th century a royal tradition had developed whereby the ruling king bestowed Hørsholm Palace to his consort, and it was used as a summer residence. The estate was now being managed directly by the royal house, and income went to the Queen.

Frederick IV’s consort Queen Louise owned Hørsholm Palace between 1700 and 1721. She had it modernised and added a number of farm buildings to the estate.

The Baroque palace
Immediately after he became king in 1730, King Christian VI donated Hirschholm to his queen consort, Sophie Magdalene, as a life estate. Thus began a new phase in the history of the site. The queen decided that the old castle should be converted into a decent summer residence for the king and queen. Until the takeover, conditions at the place had been modest, in fact it was a medieval facility where only a few modernizations had been made. The de Thurah-designed baroque palace was completed in 1744 and was one of the most impressive building works of that period. It was referred to as "The Versailles of the North". When the king died in 1746 it became Sophie Magdalene's residence as Queen Dowager. She carried out a number of changes on the estate that pointed towards the agricultural reforms that would come to play a big role in the country during the coming decades.

Thurah's drawings of the palace were published in Den Danske Vitruvius in 1746–1749.

The Dowager Queen Sophie Magdalene died in 1770, and the palace was taken over by King Christian VII who used it as a summer residence for his family and court. On 17 June 1771 the royal family and court took summer residence at the palace, and on 7 July Queen Caroline Mathilde gave birth to her second child, Princess Louise Augusta, whose father was almost certainly Johann Friedrich Struensee. That summer has come to be referred to as the "Hirschholm Summer" in Danish history.

Neglect and demolition
After that summer, and after the arrest of Struensee and the Queen on 17 January 1772, and the subsequent execution of Struensee, and the banishment and imprisonment of the Queen, the palace stood empty until 1810. At that time Frederik VI had the now dilapidated palace torn down for use as build materials for the rebuilding of Christiansborg Palace, which had burned to the ground in the fire of 1794.

The site today
In 1822-23 a small church designed by architect Christian Frederik Hansen was built on the grounds of the demolished palace. The park surrounding the church, which is located on a small island in a lake, still bears some evidence of the original palace garden. A number of the farm buildings Louise had built in the early 18th century still exist. Some of them formerly housed the Danish Museum of Hunting and Forestry.

The Hørsholm Local History Museum has a permanent exhibit about the palace, the royal affair and its consequences.

CDS ISIS

CDS/ISIS is a software package for generalised Information Storage and Retrieval systems developed, maintained and disseminated by UNESCO. It was first released in 1985 and since then over 20,000 licences have been issued by UNESCO and a worldwide network of distributors. It is particularly suited to bibliographical applications and is used for the catalogues of many small and medium-sized libraries. Versions have been produced in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish amongst other languages. UNESCO makes the software available free for non-commercial purposes, though distributors are allowed to charge for their expenses.

CDS/ISIS is an acronym which stands for Computerised Documentation Service / Integrated Set of Information Systems. In 2003 it was stated that "This package is accepted by libraries in the developing countries as a standard software for information system development".

The original CDS/ISIS ran on an IBM mainframe and was designed in the mid-1970s under Mr Giampaolo Del Bigio for UNESCO's Computerized Documentation System (CDS). It was based on the internal ISIS (Integrated Set of Information Systems) at the International Labour Organization in Geneva.

In 1985 a version was produced for mini- and microcomputers programmed in Pascal. It ran on an IBM PC under MS-DOS. Winisis, the Windows version, first demonstrated in 1995, may run on a single computer or in a local area network. A JavaISIS client/server component was designed in 2000, allowing remote database management over the Internet from Windows, Linux and Macintosh computers. Furthermore, GenISIS allows the user to produce HTML Web forms for CDS/ISIS database searching. The ISIS_DLL provides an API for developing CDS/ISIS based applications. The OpenIsis library, developed independently from 2002 to 2004, provided another API for developing CDS/ISIS-like applications.

The most recent effort towards a completely renewed FOSS, Unicode implementation of CDS/ISIS is the J-Isis project, developed by UNESCO since 2005 and currently maintained by Mr Jean Claude Dauphin.
