Hello again....

re: ta
You're right. Sometimes I become so focused on grammatical construction that I forget to look at the bigger picture—the flow and context of the sentence, the paragraph, and, ultimately, of the entire article. Thanks for reminding me of this. —Wayward 07:47, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Athenian Democracy
Ahh, you're probably right about the other edits. I still don't think it's good style to start a sentence with Nor -- generally nor belongs to the start of a dependant clause in English, not a sentence, and so it sounds awkward. --Improv 14:56, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Just to be fussy, the clause intoduced by 'nor' is not dependant or subordinated to the preceding clause, but they are both main clauses parallel to each other, just like sentences joined by "and" (co-ordinating conjunctions). I think you'll find that sentences opening with "Nor..." are common in academic writing (in the humanities anyway) where it works like a negative version of opening a sentence with "Further..." The difference between the nor preceded by a comma and the one you baulked at with the fullstop/period is really just one of pace. And there are often good reasons for not hurrying the reader. (I think it can be useful to think of punctuation as a set of tools for modulating pace and flow rather than as a body of rules to be automatically applied -- which is how people are thinking when they try to suggest a sentence should not open with "But...") Obviously "nor" cannot open some piece of discourse as it relates to something already said, but that something may just be a part of the ongoing meaning of the passage, even if that is on the far side of a fullstop/period. To my mind sentence-initial nor is not awkward but some people may find it a little pompous as it heads in the direction of sounding like a speech by Winston Churchill. (Similar openings are extremely common in Latin writing and I wouldn't be surprised if the pattern had been borrowed, or at least reinforced, from there.) Flounderer 00:09, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Constitution of Athens
I noticed you appear to have been one of the main contributors to the article on Athenian democracy. In the talk page of the said article, I recently posted a diagram representing the Constitution of Athens based on the Athenaion Politeia attributed to Aristotle. I would like people to comment on it before I propose its inclusion in the article on Athenian democracy. You can take a look at the said diagram here:

Horror Express

Horror Express (Spanish: Pánico en el Transiberiano, lit. "Panic on the Trans-Siberian") is a 1972 science fiction horror film directed by Eugenio Martín. It is a loose adaptation of John W. Campbell's 1938 novella Who Goes There?, and stars Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, with Alberto de Mendoza, Silvia Tortosa, Julio Peña, George Rigaud, Ángel del Pozo, and Telly Savalas in supporting roles.

Set in 1906, the film's storyline follows the various passengers aboard a European-bound Trans-Siberian Railway train. They are soon stalked, one by one, by an alien intelligence inhabiting the frozen body of an ancient primitive humanoid brought onboard by an anthropologist.

Plot
In 1906, Professor Sir Alexander Saxton, a British anthropologist, is returning to Europe by the Trans-Siberian Express from Shanghai to Moscow. With him is a crate containing the frozen remains of a primitive humanoid that he discovered in a cave in Manchuria. He hopes that it is a missing link in human evolution. Doctor Wells, Saxton's friendly rival and Geological Society colleague, is also waiting to board. Also waiting is Polish Count Marion Petrovski and his wife, Countess Irina. With the couple is their spiritual advisor, an Eastern Orthodox monk named Father Pujardov, who proclaims to Saxton that the contents of the crate are evil. Additional passengers include Inspector Mirov and a squad of soldiers.

Saxton‘s eagerness to keep his scientific findings secret arouses the suspicion of Wells, who bribes a porter to investigate the crate. The porter is killed by the defrosted humanoid within, who escaped the crate after picking the lock and kills several more passengers. Wells performs an autopsy and deduces that the creature absorbs the skills and memories of its victims. When the humanoid is gunned down by Mirov, the threat seems to have been eliminated. Saxton and Wells discover that the real threat is a formless extra-terrestrial that inhabited the body of the humanoid. Unknown to them, the creature has transferred itself into Mirov.

The extra-terrestrial has been stranded on Earth for millions of years. It kills passengers with specific knowledge that could help it build a new spaceship. Eventually, Cossack Captain Kazan stabs and shoots Mirov. With Mirov dying, Pujardov, believing the creature to be Satan and having pledged allegiance to it prior, allows it to possess him. The passengers flee to the brake van while the alien murders Kazan, his men, and the Count. Saxton, having discovered the creature cannot use its powers when it is exposed to light, blinds it. The alien bargains with Saxton, tempting him with its advanced knowledge of technology and cures for diseases. When Saxton refuses, it resurrects all its victims as zombies, and has them attack Saxton.

Saxton and the countess fight their way through the train until they reach the van, where the other survivors have taken refuge. Saxton and Wells uncouple the van from the rest of the train containing the alien. Kazan's superiors send a telegram to a dispatch station ahead, instructing them to destroy the train by sending it down a siding overlooking a gorge. The survivors watch as the train crashes down the gorge and goes up in flames.

Development
The film was co-produced by American screenwriter/producer Bernard Gordon, who had collaborated with Martin on the 1972 film Pancho Villa (which featured Savalas in the title role). Martin made Horror Express as part of a three-picture contract he had with Philip Yordan, and Savalas was under contract with Yordan as well. The film was a co-production between Spain's Granada Films and the British company Benmar Productions, who made Psychomania (1971).

According to Martin, the film was made because a producer obtained a train set from Nicholas and Alexandra (1971). "He came up with the idea of writing a script just so he would be able to use this prop," said Martin. "Now at that time, Phil was in the habit of buying up loads of short stories to adapt into screenplays, and the story for Horror Express was originally based on a tale written by a little-known American scriptwriter and playwright."

Rumors that the train sets were acquired from the production of Doctor Zhivago (or Nicholas and Alexandra) were refuted by Gordon, who said in a 2000 interview that the model had been constructed for the feature film Pancho Villa. Filmmakers used the mock-up from Pancho Villa as the interior for all train cars during production. Since no further room was available on stage, all scenes within each train car were shot consecutively. The set was then modified for the next car's scenes.

Shooting
Horror Express was filmed in Madrid between 1971 and 1972. It was produced on a low budget of $300,000, with the luxury of having three familiar genre actors in the lead roles; the filming began in December 1971.

Securing Lee and Cushing was a coup for Gordon, since it lent an atmosphere reminiscent of the horror Hammer Films, many of which starred both actors. When Cushing arrived in Madrid to begin work on the picture, he was still distraught over the recent death of his wife. He announced to Gordon that he could not do the film. With Gordon now desperate over the idea of losing one of his important stars, Lee stepped in and put Cushing at ease, simply by talking to his old friend about some of their previous work together; Cushing changed his mind and stayed on.

The train's departure scene was filmed in Madrid's Delicias railway station. The locomotive pulling the train in that scene is a RENFE 141F; later in the film, miniatures are utilized for the exterior shots of the train going by camera and for the film's climax.

Like all Italian and Spanish films of the period, Horror Express was filmed mostly without sound, with the effects and voices dubbed for the film in post-production; Lee, Cushing, and Savalas all provided their own voices for the English-speaking version.

Release and reception
Horror Express generally received positive reviews. At the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 80% approval rating, with an average rating of 6.85 out of 10, based on 15 reviews.

The film was originally titled Pánico en el Transiberiano. It was first released for showing as an official selection at the Sitges Film Festival on 30 September 1972. The film's director, Eugenio Martín, won the Critic's Best Script Award. According to Martín, Spain, his native country, was where the film fared the worst, both critically and for its low box office revenue. It was received positively in other film markets where the audience was more familiar with low-budget horror films; these included Great Britain, the United States, and Australia. "I was a bit surprised myself at the film's popularity overseas, but it didn’t really do a great deal for my subsequent career", said Martin.

Montgomery Advertiser film critic Jery Tillotson gave the film a positive review, writing, "Good performances, brisk direction, and fast action moves this thriller a notch above the average shocker".

Home media
A special edition Blu-ray/DVD film release was issued in 2011 by Severin Films. Arrow Films re-released a new Blu-ray edition on 12 February 2019.

Legacy
The film was used as a "virtual reality" experience for the 2021 television show Creepshow (season 2, episode 5: "Night of the Living Late Show"). In that episode, the film is the favorite of inventor Simon Sherman (portrayed by Justin Long), who had it placed as one of the interactive features in his virtual reality invention called the Immersopod. While archive footage of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing are used in the episode, Hannah Fierman portrays her rendition of Countess Irina Petrovsky, with whom Simon begins a relationship since he's had a crush on her since he was a young boy.

Janet Wright

Janet Wright (March 8, 1945 – November 14, 2016) was an English-born Canadian actress and theatre director. She was best known for her role as Emma Leroy on the Canadian sitcom, Corner Gas. She performed in many film and television shows, and she also acted in, and directed, dozens of theatre productions in Saskatoon, Vancouver, and at the Stratford Festival.

Early life and education
Wright was born in Farnborough, Hampshire, England. Wright grew up as the eldest of four siblings (the others being Susan, John, and Anne) who have all participated in Canadian theatre.

Career
Wright, along with her sister Susan, co-founded the Persephone Theatre company in Saskatoon in 1974. Wright's first husband, Brian Richmond, became the theatre's director. Wright later worked at the Vancouver Arts Club Theatre where she appeared in and directed more than 40 productions. She also appeared in several other productions in live theatre across Canada, and at the Stratford Festival in Ontario. Her theatre work eventually led to television and film roles in Canada and the United States.

In 1991, she performed at the Stratford Festival with her sisters Anne and Susan in Les Belles-soeurs, to positive reviews. In 1995, she was the first woman to play the title role in King Lear, for Canadian Stage in Toronto. Wright acted in the film Bordertown Café, for which she received a best actress Genie Award in 1992. In 2003 she was named best supporting actress in a dramatic program or miniseries at the Gemini Awards for her role in Betrayed.

From 2004 to 2009, she played Emma Leroy in the television series Corner Gas. In this role she won a 2006 Canadian Comedy Award for Pretty Funny TV Female. The show also won a Gemini Award in 2007.

Wright continued her involvement with the Vancouver Arts Club Theatre, directing several contemporary American plays, including Katori Hall's The Mountaintop and Ayad Akhtar's Disgraced in 2015. She continued acting from time to time at the Stratford Festival, lastly in 2011, when she played Ma Joad in The Grapes of Wrath.

Family
Wright's sister Susan was killed in a fire in 1991 in Stratford, Ontario, along with their parents, Jack and Ruth (née Preston) Wright.

In January 2004, Wright's daughter Rachel Davis (aged 23) was fatally shot while intervening for a stranger who was being beaten in front of the Purple Onion bar in Vancouver, B.C. In July 2006, the shooter was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder, five counts of attempted murder and five counts of aggravated assault. His first degree murder conviction triggered an automatic sentence of life imprisonment with no chance of parole until 2029.

Wright and her second husband, Bruce Davis, along with the rest of their family, started the Rachel Davis Foundation. The foundation presents an award to a young person (aged 17–23) who has demonstrated an outstanding act of kindness or compassion.

Death
Wright died on the morning of November 14, 2016, in Vancouver, aged 71, from undisclosed causes.

re: watchlist
The "/crap" subpage in my userspace is an area I created for the collection of bad edits to various prominent articles. A certain vandal originally known as "DickyRobert" had been using hundreds of sockpuppet accounts to post an administrator's alleged home telephone number into prominent articles, usually ones linked from the main page. I removed all the edits I can find and transferred them into a pile. Since then, the pile got moved to the "Abuse reports" page as evidence to be forwarded to the guy's ISP, in an effort to get the plug pulled.

If a page on your watchlist gets moved, both the old title and the new title remain on your watchlist. I had split apart the edit histories of various articles, one of which you must have had watchlisted, and moved the "bad" parts out of the article to reduce visibility. So, no, your account has not been hacked, and neither has mine, it's just an unintended side effect of the way watchlists react to page moves. — Jun. 25, '06  [20:43] < [ freak]|[ talk] >

My intention in adding the tag was not as an attack, but simply a means to attract other editors who would be better suited to write the article (as you yourself said that you wanted). Best, Irongargoyle 14:11, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey Thomas, unfortunately the artice that you created for yourself did not meet Wikipedia policies, so it had to be deleted. If someone does create an article about you, you are welcome to leave guidance on the article's talk page or correct any factual inaccuracies in the article itself. Personally, I would love to see an article about you created for Wikipedia. If you could give me more guidance about where specifically to find published information about yourself, I would be happy to put together a proper stub. Kaldari 16:13, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Speaking of Seigenthaler, I wrote a good portion of the current article for him that's up now, but I'm not really happy with the pictures. For example, the picture of him at the typewriter is a photo of a newspaper print of a photo. You don't have any connections at the Tennessean that could supply better pictures do you? P.S. I replied to your post about the Nashville Banner and changed the text. Kaldari 19:54, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Giarratana
''Hi. Would you mind taking another look at Anthony D. "Tony" Giarratana?

One of the flags you added suggests that there is a notability issue and that the article ought to "reference published, third-party sources about the subject." I wonder whether that tag may have been added in haste, without taking into account the buildings that the guy has already put up -- leaving aside the one he wants to put up, Signature Tower, which has its own Wikipedia page and has been the subject of media coverage outside of Nashville.

Both that tag and another, stating that "this article does not cite any references or sources," do not appear to take into account the roughly 40 news articles on Giarratana available via the NashvillePost.com link given at the bottom of the article.

For the record, I have no connection to the subject of this article; I have never even met him. I'm adding a number of entries these days on topics that I consider significant to the current state of money and power in my hometown, Nashville. Our metro area is one of the 30 largest in the country, and so I tend to think that people making big news here are noteworthy enough to merit coverage in Wikipedia.

In this instance, the subject is well-known primarily for what he has done in this market, but those deeds have gained significant attention nationally. I would tend to believe, however, that a person or entity sufficiently important on a purely local basis in a city of our size may merit an entry. I'm not aware, though, of any Wikipedia guidance that would guide notability decisions based on local importance. Maybe there should be some.

I'd like to hear your thoughts before I do anything else with the Tony G. article. Thanks. Tom Wood 03:52, 9 August 2007 (UTC)''

 * Giarratana certainly seems notable enough. For biographies in Wikipedia the criterion is that the person must have been written about in third-party, peer-reviewed publications, such as newspapers, magazines, or books.  The publicity should be obvious via citations of the facts in the article using the publications.  An "External Links" section ought to be used for things like linking to the subject's web site, or perhaps to photographs that are not GFDL, not for verifying the facts of the article.  Readers are skeptical of everything in Wikipedia, due to the ease of adding material, therefore everything should be cited by a reputable source, so the reader can quickly verify any part of it.  I'll remove the notability tag, but you'll need to go through some of the newspaper articles and create citations for your article.  (Use WP:CITE as a guide.) I don't have any issue with local-only notability; I just go through new articles each day looking mostly for vanity pages and unreferenced articles, and Giarratana's article probably piqued my tag-happiness by not having a "References" section.  You might be surprised what a high percentage of new articles  are pretty worthless.--Appraiser 13:06, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

 * You might be surprised what a high percentage of new articles are pretty worthless. I can readily imagine, and have seen a few examples. Thanks for getting back to me. I'll fold in citations as you suggest. I tend to screw up technically when I try to insert those, so I guess I have gotten into the habit of putting external links out there as a lazy man's way to contribute, but I'm going to try to master the arcane business of ref tags. Tom Wood 14:38, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

FWIW, Giarratana is just now opening a 45-story mixed-use tower at 5th and Church in Nashville, after many years of efforts to build there. It's the tallest residential structure in Tennessee and looks directly down on the Life & Casualty Building, which was the tallest tower in the Southeast when completed in 1957. I have a very good rendering by Giarratana, from Metro Nashville Archives, of the 57-story Columbia-HCA Healthcare Tower he pitched for that site in the mid-1990s. The place remained a surface parking lot for 20+ years until the current structure went up.Tom Wood (talk) 05:01, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Anarchism: Nashville connection to Haymarket affair
Ryan, I have just found an item in an 1886 Nashville newspaper indicating that Adolph Fischer, an anarchist ultimately hanged for a supposed role in the Haymarket bombing that year, had spent time in Nashville and was the brother of a local printer.

Just asking because I know you have interests in both Nashville history and 19th-century anarchist movements: Do you know whether anyone has covered this connection in past historiography. I'm thinking of featuring it in my weekly history column at NashvillePost.com.

All best, Tom

Tom Wood (talk) 04:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow, that's interesting. I'm pretty sure no one in Nashville at least has uncovered this connection before. The only other connection between 19th-century anarchism and Nashville that I know of is Ross Winn (and that was only uncovered recently). I would love to help investigate if you have any leads.

 * Also, I wanted to pass along a tidbit I dug up recently: Apparently there was a newspaper published in Nashville around the turn of the century called The Labor Advocate that no one seems to know about. It was published at least from 1902-1905 although I haven't been able to dig up any good info about it yet. Kaldari (talk) 00:09, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Here's an article about Fischer's Nashville connection from The New York Times. Kaldari (talk) 00:30, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks much for the NYT piece, Ryan. I love the way they are putting more and more historical material out for free. I'm scanning in material from the 1886 Banner volume and will add to the Fischer entry.

 * I certainly haven't encountered The Labor Advocate and am fairly sure it's not among the microfilm holdings in the library's Nashville Room. I'll see Metro's archivist later this week and will try to remember to quiz him about that title. Tom Wood (talk) 16:54, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Specific name (zoology)

In zoological nomenclature, the specific name (also specific epithet, species epithet, or epitheton) is the second part (the second name) within the scientific name of a species (a binomen). The first part of the name of a species is the name of the genus or the generic name. The rules and regulations governing the giving of a new species name are explained in the article species description. For example, the scientific name for humans is Homo sapiens, which is the species name, consisting of two names: Homo is the "generic name" (the name of the genus) and sapiens is the "specific name".

Historically, specific name referred to the combination of what are now called the generic and specific names. Carl Linnaeus, who formalized binomial nomenclature, made explicit distinctions between specific, generic, and trivial names. The generic name was that of the genus, the first in the binomial, the trivial name was the second name in the binomial, and the specific the proper term for the combination of the two. For example the binomial name of the tiger, Panthera tigris:
 * generic name = Panthera
 * trivial name = tigris
 * specific name = Panthera tigris

This was the proper usage from the 18th century into the late 20th century, although many authors seemed to be unaware of the distinctions between trivial and specific names and inconsistent and erroneous usage even appeared in the International Code of Zoölogical Nomenclature.

The grammar of species names
Grammatically, a binomen (and a trinomen, also) must be treated as if it were a Latin phrase, no matter which language the words were originally taken from. (This gives some justification to the popular usage of the phrase "Latin name" instead of the more correct phrase "scientific name".) The specific name must adhere to certain conventions of Latin grammar. The specific name can be formed as:
 * A noun in apposition to the genus name, for example, the scientific name of the lion, Panthera leo. In these cases, the word for the genus and the word for the species do not necessarily have to agree in gender. Species names which are nouns in apposition are sometimes the vernacular name of the organism in Latin or Ancient Greek, or the name (specific or generic) of another organism which the organism itself resembles.
 * A noun in the genitive case (i.e. belonging to).
 * This is common in parasites: Xenos vesparum ("Stranger of the wasps").
 * Proper nouns which are names of people and places are often used in the genitive case. For example, the name of the coelacanth, Latimeria chalumnae which means "Latimeria of Chalumna", is a reference to the area near the mouth of the Chalumna River in the Indian Ocean, where the coelacanth was first found, i.e. its type locality.
 * An adjective which must agree in case and gender with the genus: Felis silvestris ("the forest cat")

Differences from botany
In botanical nomenclature, "name" always refers to the whole name (of a species or otherwise), whereas in zoological nomenclature it can refer to either part of the binomen. Thus Hedera helix (common ivy, English ivy) is the name of the species; Hedera is the name of the genus; but helix is called the specific epithet, not the specific name.

Subspecific name

In zoological nomenclature, a subspecific name is the third part of a trinomen. In zoology there is only one rank below that of species, namely "subspecies".

In botanical nomenclature, there are several levels of subspecific names, such as variety and form, and even cultivar.

The name of a subspecies is a trinomen, a trinomial name, i.e., a name that consists of three names: generic name, specific epithet, and subspecific epithet. The subspecific epithet is written like the specific epithet: without capitalisation but typeset in italics.

Talk:Bas Jan Ader

Bas Jan Ader's Parents
Does anyone known whether this artist was the son of Rev Bastiaan Jan Ader (1909-1944) and Johanna Adriana Ader-Appels (died 1994), author of the well known Dutch resistance autobiography "Een Groninger Pastorie in de Storm", and also the couple who hid Johanna-Ruth Dobschiner, author of the autobiography "Te mogen leven!" well known in English as "Selected to Live"?

 * Ader biography in Dutch
 * Dobschiner description in Dutch

They certainly had a son Basjan (he appears - spelled that way - in the picture section of Mrs Ader's book) and he would very likely have been born in Winschoten in 1942 as Ds Ader was a minister at nearby Nieuw-Beerta. My guess is that this is the child who is called Hansje in the text of the book, as the younger child, who never saw his father who was killed by the Germans shortly after his birth, was named Dikkie (officially Victor Emanuël).

--PeterR 10:09, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Received the following anonymous message on my own talk page:

''I'm pretty certain he was, as you say, the son of Rev Bastiaan Jan Ader. What I know of Bas Jan Ader the artist is that his father was a clergyman, and that he was from Nieuw-Beerta. If you take those words for facts, i guess that would make it pretty conclusive.'' Greetings from Winschoten.

--PeterR 19:58, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

 * You might check with User:Maberry, she's a librarian at Otis College of Art and Design, where Ader graduated, and might have access to that info. scot 20:14, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I can't remember off-hand, but this is all very well documented in the DVD "Here Is Always Somewhere Else (2007)" Directed by Rene Daalder. Your account sounds familiar though - and would just need to be verified. --Deadchildstar (talk) 17:07, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I can verify for 100% certain that this indeed is the case. She is his mother, and his father was indeed a reverend. Bas Jan Ader´s mother outlived both her husband and son. I did a project on Bas Jan Ader, and talked to his brother, and my collegue interviewed his nanny.

Possible addition?
At the link for his mother's typewritten poem, the poem stops at "a white body of a man, rocked in the arms of the waves is very small too."

After that, we have these extended lines found quoted here under the video (scroll down) which she includes in her reading :

 * "What are we in the infinity of ocean and sky?
 * A small baby at the breast of eternity.
 * Have you heard of happiness
 * Springing from a deep well of sorrow?
 * Of love, springing from pain and despondency, agony and death?
 * Such is mine."

As well there's this artifact which seemingly relates to nothing else

 * Psalm 30:2

I take it the last bit is maybe vandalism? I'm not sure what to do with all this... anyone?

Poem removed
I removed the mother's poem. We don't link to copyright violations, and there was no indication that the user(s) behind the Tumblr page own the copyright to the poem or had permission to use it. Tumblr is not a reliable source, and the statement that the artist's mother wrote the poem (presented as typewritten text on a plain background) is itself questionable.

Change
Any objection to changing the entry on Irish People to 'Irish people, people of Irish ethnicity, Irish citizens by Irish nationality law and Irish British citizens by British nationality law'? Currently this suggests Northern Irish people who don't accept Irish citizenship by the government of another state are not Irish People. Rob (talk) 19:06, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

✅. Rob (talk) 13:15, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

 * What, Rob, is an "Irish British citizen" by British nationality law, I couldnt find it. Also Irish citizen, is a citizen of the state, and the law that governs it is Irish natonality law, this is the usual and correct way of phrasing this. Murry1975 (talk) 18:55, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

 * 'Irish British citizen' refers to British citizens who have acquired British citizenship while residing in Ireland. It's simply a combination of the demonym for an person from Ireland, and 'British citizen'. Its not common to describe 'Irish people' by citizenship, but if you are going to, you can't ignore people of Northern Ireland. Since the term might be ambiguous, you could change the description to:
 * Irish people, people of Irish ethnicity, Irish citizens, and Irish British citizens who acquired citizenship in Northern Ireland
 * The law that allowed them to acquire citizenship isn't important, we assume the reader already knows what they are looking for on dab' pages. Rob (talk) 20:46, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I've restored a previous version, which covered the point perfectly adequately and clearly, especially for a disambiguation page. The change just added unnecessary detail and confused the issue – there's no need for complicated discussions about citizenship and Irish-British issues here (for example, as noted, the phrase "Irish British citizen" is simply confusing). Those in Northern Ireland who consider themselves Irish – and not British – are covered by the existing mention of "Irish ethnicity". Equally, the alternative wording suggests all British citizens in Northern Ireland are "Irish", which many of them might well disagree with. I can't see there's a problem here that needs fixing and, in fact, the changes simply introduce confusion.  N-HH   talk / edits  22:41, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
 * So someone who moves to Northern Ireland and acquires British citizenship in Northern Ireland, isn't Irish, but someone who moves to the Republic of Ireland, and acquires Irish citizenship is? Makes sense... Rob (talk) 22:52, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
 * As noted, this is not the page to define the topic in excessive detail. But, since you asked, and going by standard definitions: a) no, not necessarily (the latter qualification being the key point); b) yes. Makes perfect sense, actually.  N-HH   talk / edits  22:56, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
 * How not necessarily? By the current definition, how is someone who identifies themselves as Irish due to residing in Northern Ireland and acquiring British citizenship, Irish? Their not apparently. Normally I would agree that this isn't the place to define the topic, however according to Irish people, you're not Irish if you aren't native. Rob (talk) 23:53, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Some unionists very definitely deny they are "Irish"; equally, an Italian national, say, might move to Belfast, take British citizenship but not claim to be Irish. The current definition avoids necessarily including such people but also very definitely does include people in the north who do define themselves as "ethnically" Irish and/or are Irish citizens. What we have now seems to be the standard dual definition employed for "people" categories, perfectly correct even in this case and suitable as the brief description on a dab page.  N-HH   talk / edits  11:24, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Some people might take Irish citizenship, but not claim to be Irish. How is it standard to only cover one of the two citizenships of a "people" category? It's uncommon to have two citizenships on one island, so I don't see how you can compare it to other "people" categories. I don't see how this is not bias. Include both citizenships, or neither. Rob (talk) 11:54, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
 * But, as I said, it does include those British citizens that consider themselves Irish. Not only is it not necessary to suggest that all British citizens in the north are Irish it's actually misleading. I accept that someone with Irish citizenship might also not claim or be said to be "Irish-Irish" in an ethnic sense, but that problem arises in every people category (and, for what it's worth, I think the main Irish people article is too focused on "historic" ethnicity). Prima facie and as a matter of basic definition, if you're an Irish "citizen" you're an Irish "person" of some sort. That syllogism doesn't apply from "British citizen" to "Irish person", even those in Northern Ireland.  N-HH   talk / edits  12:13, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
 * How does it include them? Someone in Northern Ireland can considered themselves "Irish" without recognising their Irish citizenship. How is suggesting that all Irish citizens are Irish not as misleading? How does that not apply for British citizens who acquired citizenship in Northern Ireland? Both citizenships are citizenships acquired in Ireland, so they are both equally as Irish. I don't see the distinction you are making. Rob (talk) 14:10, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

It includes them in the way that I explained in my very first post here: "Those in Northern Ireland who consider themselves Irish – and not British – are covered by the existing mention of 'Irish ethnicity'". Many of course are in any event Irish citizens, so they're covered twice over in the current formulation. As for your second broad point, all Irish citizens are indeed Irish in one sense, as I said in my reply just now. I'm afraid I simply don't understand your last two sentences or what you are trying to say with them. Anyway, as I keep saying, the current wording seems fine for a disambiguation page. The attempted changes were a solution in search of a problem and in fact just created problems of their own. Unless you're going to insist on putting them in, this conversation is probably done.  N-HH   talk / edits  18:40, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if you're missing my point, or I'm missing yours. Just to clarify:
 * Someone in Northern Ireland can identify themselves as both "Irish" and "British".
 * If someone was to migrate to Northern Ireland and acquire British citizenship, it would not be unreasonable for them to identify themselves as "Irish" (possibly alongside "British" or "Northern Irish"), and not have Irish citizenship (citizenship of the Republic), nor want it.
 * Describing "Irish people" as "Irish citizens" without "British citizens who acquired citizenship in Northern Ireland" is like describing "European people" as "French, Spanish, Italian and German citizens" without listing all the other countries' citizenship.
 * If you think including "British citizens who acquired citizenship in Northern Ireland" will cause other problems, then I would be fine with not including both, as it's uncommon to list citizenships when talking about a geographic term. Rob (talk) 00:16, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't disagree with your two bullet points but – leaving aside the point that we don't need a precise or detailed explanation on this page, just a broad indication – people in the north are already included, as I keep saying, through either the Irish citizenship or the Irish ethnicity point (the latter even if they are technically British citizens). The current wording, in effect, says "citizens of the Republic and other Irish people". There simply is no exclusion of northern Irish people under the current wording, explicit or implicit. Hence there's no need to add extra wording to cover them, and risk in so doing introducing further errors or confusion. There may be other ways of quickly describing the concept of Irish people, for example as "a people associated with [the island of] Ireland", but that's another option altogether.

 * More generally, it's quite usual to take "XX-ish people" as meaning "citizens of the XX-ish state" and/or "people of an ethnicity that takes its name from the state", or some combined conceptual mush of the two. The point is that the former will include people who are not, technically, "ethnically XX-ish" but could still be said under a broader definition to be "XX-ish", such as recent immigrants, while the latter will include people who are "ethnically XX-ish" but not citizens of the state that bears that name, whether due to emigration or a geo-political faultline such as national partition. I know there are peculiarities in the Britain-Ireland situation, but there's generally no need to add mention of citizens of any or all those other states where XX-ish people might be found to reside.  N-HH   talk / edits  11:54, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay. Well my preference is not to include both citizenships, as it's bias including one and not the other. I understand your point on the name of the Republic being "Ireland", but I don't think that should make the state any more "Irish" then Northern Ireland. Rob (talk) 13:31, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Born in N'Djamena, N'Doram begun his career with local Tourbillon FC, then spent three seasons in Cameroon with Tonnerre Yaoundé, one of the biggest clubs in Sub-Saharan Africa. In 1990 the 24-year-old signed for FC Nantes in France, scoring two goals in 19 games in his first season in Ligue 1; his first professional contract arrived as Argentine Jorge Burruchaga was recovering from injury and accepted to be given an amateur licence on behalf of his teammate.

N'Doram became something of a cult hero at Stade de la Beaujoire, scoring important goals as the club's 2000th in the top division, through a penalty against Lille OSC (1–0 win) or the second in a 3–2 home triumph against Juventus FC in the 1995–96 UEFA Champions League semi-finals (3–4 aggregate loss). In 1994–95, he netted 12 goals as Les Canaris won their seventh national championship – the first in 12 years – bettering to a career-best 21 in the 1996–97 campaign (second-best in the competition).

Aged 31, N'Doram left Nantes and signed for fellow league side AS Monaco FC, winning the 1997 Trophée des Champions, but retired at the end of the season following a persistent injury sustained during a match against his former team. He then joined his last club's technical staff, working as a scout.

N'Doram returned to Nantes on 28 June 2005, replacing Robert Budzynski as director of football. In February 2007 he was appointed team manager, leaving his post in July as the season ended in relegation.

Personal life
N'Doram holds Chadian and French nationalities. His son, Kévin, is also a footballer. He played for Monaco.

E. Gerald Corrigan

Edward Gerald Corrigan (June 13, 1941 – May 17, 2022) was an American banker who was the seventh President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and Vice-Chairman of the Federal Open Market Committee. Corrigan served as a partner and managing director in the Office of the Chairman at Goldman Sachs and was appointed chairman of GS Bank USA, the bank holding company of Goldman Sachs, in September 2008 until retiring in 2016. He was also a member of the Group of Thirty, an influential international body of leading financiers and academics.

Education
Corrigan earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Fairfield University in 1963. He received a master's degree in 1965 and a Ph.D. in 1971, both in economics, from Fordham University.

Federal Reserve
Corrigan began his career at the New York Federal Reserve in 1968 where he remained for twenty-five years, becoming Vice President in 1976, and serving as a Special Assistant to Federal Reserve Board Chairman, Paul Volcker in Washington, D.C. He went on to serve as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis from 1980 to 1984 and President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from 1985 until 1993.

From 1991 to 1993 he was Chairman of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. From 1993 to 1995 he was director of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Post-Federal Reserve; Goldman Sachs
Corrigan joined Goldman Sachs in 1994 and has been a partner and managing director in the Office of the Chairman since 1996. He served as co-chair of both the Risk Committee and the Global Compliance and Controls Committee at Goldman Sachs. In 1994 Corrigan also joined the influential Washington-based financial advisory body, the Group of Thirty.

Since 1999, Corrigan has served as Chairman of the Counterparty Risk Management Policy Group (CRMPG). The CRMPG is a financial industry policy group designed to promote enhanced strong practices in counterparty credit risk and market risk management. In this capacity Corrigan testified before the Committee on Financial Services of the U.S. House of Representatives concerning hedge funds and systematic risk in the financial markets on March 13, 2007. In concluding his testimony, Corrigan foreshadowed the pending financial crisis of 2007–2008 by stating "[o]ne of the most difficult challenges in human endeavor is how we manage low probability events – such as financial shocks – that can cause so much damage. In the financial arena I believe we are making progress in meeting that challenge and we must continue the effort for we know that the future will bring new tests of the stability and resiliency of the financial system."

In 2005, the Global Association of Risk Professionals awarded their "Risk Manager of the Year" designation to Corrigan.

In a major article in April, 2009 about Obama Administration Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and his role in the national and global financial crisis, The New York Times writers traced the evolution of the AIG part in the crisis in September, 2008. A.I.G.'s chief executive at the time, Robert B. Willumstad, was seeking help raising capital from JP MorganChase, not using Goldman Sachs because it was "one of A.I.G.'s biggest trading partners" and, Mr. Willumstad believed, "the potential conflicts of interest ... were too great." However, on "Monday, Sept. 15, Mr. Geithner pushed A.I.G. to bring Goldman onto its team to raise capital," the article said, quoting Mr. Willumstad. "Mr. Geithner and Mr. Corrigan ... were close, speaking frequently and sometimes lunching together at Goldman headquarters. On [Sep. 15th], the company's chief executive, Lloyd C. Blankfein, was at the New York Fed. A Goldman spokesman [told the Times] 'We don't believe anyone at Goldman Sachs asked Mr. Geithner to include the firm in the assignment.' Mr. Geithner said he had suggested Goldman get involved because the situation was chaotic and 'time was running out,'" the article concluded relative to Mr. Corrigan's and Goldman's involvements with the then-NY Fed president Geithner.

The article went on, though, relative to the episode as a whole, "A.I.G.'s search for [private] capital was fruitless" and the Federal Reserve led by Chairman Ben Bernanke and the Treasury led by Secretary Hank Paulson (formerly of Goldman) had to come to the rescue. "By late Tuesday afternoon [Sep. 16], the government would step in with an $85 billion loan, the first installment of a bailout that now stands at $182 billion. As part of the bailout, A.I.G.'s trading partners, including Goldman, were compensated fully for money owed to them by A.I.G. Analysts say the New York Fed should have pressed A.I.G.'s trading partners to take a deep discount on what they were owed. But Mr. Geithner said he had no bargaining power because he was unwilling to threaten A.I.G.'s trading partners with a bankruptcy by the insurer for fear of further destabilizing the system. A recent report on the A.I.G. bailout by the Government Accountability Office found that taxpayers may never get their money back."

In February, 2010, Corrigan faced inquiry in the House of Commons Treasury committee in London, England for Goldman's involvement with currency swaps executed with the Greek government. The swaps, Corrigan acknowledged, "did produce a small reduction in the debt to GDP ratio at the time." The ratio in turn was a factor in the economic management of Greek finances within the European Union and the Euro currency, and in the context of the 2010 European sovereign debt crisis. Corrigan's testimony continued, "With the benefit of hindsight, it seems very clear that standards of transparency could have been and should have been higher." The report on his testimony concluded, "Corrigan's key defence against the Greek allegations was that every bank was cooking up deals with European governments — not just Greece. It's no lie."

In the May 7, 2010, Goldman public stockholders' meeting, the company "announced the creation of an internal committee that will examine possible conflicts of interest and other issues such as transparency and disclosure. It's headed by Vice Chairman [Michael] Evans and ... Corrigan, chairman of Goldman Sachs Bank USA. No board members are involved." The report on this development was part of a larger analysis of the role of the board of directors in the oversight of the management, business and ethics of the company, in light of the intense scrutiny of the company's role in the national and global financial crises of recent years.

Philanthropic giving
Fairfield University honored Corrigan in 1981 with an Alumni Professional Achievement Award. And in 2008, Corrigan donated $5 million to Fairfield to establish the E. Gerald Corrigan '63 Chair in the Humanities and Social Sciences and the Mary Hardy Corrigan Reading Room, named for Corrigan's mother and located on the second level of the DiMenna-Nyselius Library.

In 2007, Corrigan donated $5 million to Fordham University to establish the Corrigan Chair in International Business and Finance at the Graduate School of Business Administration.

Personal
Corrigan was married to Cathy Minehan, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston from 1994 to 2007.

Corrigan died at the age of 80 on May 17, 2022, from complications of Alzheimer's disease at a facility in Dedham, Massachusetts.

Estádio Couto Pereira

Estádio Major Antônio Couto Pereira, often shortened to Couto Pereira, is the home of Coritiba Foot Ball Club, located in Curitiba, Paraná state, Brazil. Its formal name honors Major Antônio Couto Pereira, who was Coritiba's president in 1926, 1927, and between 1930 and 1933. He started the stadium construction.

History
In 1927, Major Antônio Couto Pereira, the club's president at that time, acquired a 36,300 m2 area, paying for it a hundred contos de réis. Between the groundplot purchase, which should also accommodate the club's headquarters at the Alto da Glória neighborhood, and the stadium construction, almost five years passed.

The stadium was originally named after Belfort Duarte,. The stadium was named after Belfort Duarte because the Coritiba counselors did not come to an agreement about the stadium name. The name Belfort Duarte was chosen by president Couto Pereira as a provisory name, which lasted 45 years.

The stadium floodlights were inaugurated in 1942, when Coritiba beat Avaí 4–2.

On 28 February 1977, a General Assembly renamed the stadium to Major Antônio Couto Pereira, after the club's former president died.

In 1988 a ditch around the pitch was built, to prevent supporters from entering the field, and to give a more modern look to the stadium. At the same time the cabins were built, which reduced the stadium capacity, but also made it more comfortable.

The inaugural match was played on 20 November 1932, when Coritiba beat América 4–2. The first goal of the stadium was scored by Coritiba's Gildo.

The stadium's attendance record in a football match currently stands at 80,000 set on August 18, 1998 when Coritiba beat São Paulo 2–1.

The stadium's general attendance record was set on August 5, 1980, when 70,000 people came to see Pope John Paul II.

Coldplay performed at the stadium on March 21 and 22, 2023, as part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour, becoming the first headline artist to play the venue twice.

Paul McCartney holds the stadium record for revenue and attendance per concert, grossing $4,301,288 from 43,633 spectators on December 13, 2023, as part of the Got Back Tour.

Structure
With the inauguration of the Pro-Tork Sector on Mauá Street and the construction of a new exit at the back curve, Couto Pereira now has an official capacity approved by the Fire Department for 40,502 spectators, distributed as follows:

 * Coritiba Bleachers: 17,473
 * Visitor Bleachers: 4,007
 * Pro Tork Seats: 4,443
 * Pro Tork Skyboxes: 456
 * Mauá Seats: 6,770
 * Lower Social Seats: 2,019
 * Upper Social Seats: 4,673
 * Tribune Honor Seats: 202
 * Lower/Upper Skyboxes: 377
 * Press Cabins: 82

In the stadium, there are forty-three restrooms, twenty for females and twenty-three for males. Additionally, there are twenty snack bars and five locker rooms (Coritiba, visitor, female and male referees, and doping control), along with a parking lot with 400 spaces. For security, there are one hundred and twenty-seven cameras and a monitoring center overseeing the movement of spectators.

The field has dimensions of 105 x 69 meters, with Bermuda 419 grass.

The Stadium
All seats in Coritiba's Stadium are numbered. A ticket system using magnetic media and electronic turnstiles allows for the stadium's segmentation, achieved through color identification.

During the current phase of renovations, approximately fifteen thousand new seats have been installed in various sections, enhancing comfort and safety.

Adjacent to the stadium is the "Sou 1909" store, selling licensed products and sports materials related to Coritiba, featuring the club's "1909" brand.

The Couto Pereira Stadium is equipped with elevators for press and authorities to access the upper seats.

Renovation in 2005
On May 1, 2005, after over five months of construction, the stadium was reopened.

A new Bermuda 419 grass, regarded by experts as the best for football, was planted, accompanied by a more efficient drainage system.

The field dimensions were expanded to 109 x 72 meters, and the barriers around the moat were removed, ensuring perfect visibility of the game from any part of the stadium.

The new goalposts feature redesigned support bars for the nets, enhancing player safety.

The new reserve benches meet FIFA's international standards, providing comfortable conditions for athletes. They are Recaro-style benches, similar to those used in the Barcelona and Ajax stadiums.

In 2005, 25 high-standard luxury boxes were introduced, equipped with amenities such as TV, air conditioning, minibar, granite flooring, private bathroom, bulletproof glass isolation, recliners, and waiter service via intercom. In total, 370 people can attend matches at Couto Pereira using these boxes.

A new press room was constructed for pre and post-match interviews, equipped with a sound system and internet access.

Trophy Walkway
The Couto Pereira Stadium features two spaces that honor the former president Amâncio Moro and the ex-player of América, Belfort Duarte, who for over forty years lent his name to the stadium in Curitiba.

These two spaces boast modern facilities with food courts. The Belfort Duarte area includes a gallery where photos and 75 of the club's key trophies will be showcased. Among them are the 1985 Brazilian Champion and the 1973 Champion of the People's Tournament.

Gigantic photographic panels depicting various phases of Couto Pereira, from its construction through various renovations, adorn the environment with its entire floor made of Labrador green granite.

The gallery project was executed by the Coxa-Branca architect Ricardo Carvalho. Each display case accommodates between twelve and twenty trophies, carefully selected from the club's major accomplishments over more than 100 years. A group of fans and researchers, The Hellenics, conducted the historical survey that sheds light on Coritiba's victorious history. The group includes journalist Vinícius Coelho, researcher Levi Mulfort, and fans Pierre Alexandre Boulos, Guilherme Straube, Alan Roger da Silva, and Maurício Pasternack.

Talk:Afghanistan at the 2004 Summer Olympics

Untitled
"Afghanistan first competed in the Olympics in 1936, but missed many Olympics under Taliban rule."

"Many" is a bit vague, and I suspect a bit of an exaggeration. I think it missed 2000, but not 1996. Something (for me?) to work on. Andjam 10:16, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I've clarified it a bit. I'm not certain if Afghanistan competed in Salt Lake, but hopefully the edit I made doesn't imply anything with regards to Salt Lake. This [] link suggests Afghanistan probably wasn't going to do so.

The two women spent some time training Afghan women's Olympic dream at Lesbos (see also Afghanistan's Olympics team to train on Lesbos). This article Afghans to train for Athens Games on Lesbos mentions that Afghani refugees sometimes landed there.

Ideally, the rationale for Afghanistan being banned should be added. "Your government is really bad" isn't a rationale, but many people may think it is. Andjam 13:43, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Bahave
Who is Nisar Ahmad Bahave? This page claims he participated at Tae Kwon Do, but i haven't found a single prrof about his participation in Athens 2004 official site. This article says Afghanistan participated with just five Olympians, and Nisar Ahmad does not appear on the list. --200.77.160.252 21:03, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

 * IIRC, he was listed on the athens2004.com site pre-Games under the "Participants" "Search by NOC" "AFG". However, that part of the site no longer seems to be working for me.  And the official report on the Tae Kwon Do competition has no mention of him.  My guess is that he withdrew before the start of the Games.  I have removed his name from the page. — Jonel | Speak 00:03, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Bahave is a bit of a mystery again in 2008. This page claims that he'll be competing in Beijing, but this official page of the Afghan government, which lists Afghanistan's four competitors for 2008, doesn't mention him. The first page is more recent than the second, though, so perhaps he's a later addition... Aridd (talk) 10:05, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Peter Such

Peter Mark Such (born 12 June 1964) is an English cricketer, cricket coach, and match referee. An off-spinner, Such was brought into the Test arena in 1993 as a replacement for John Emburey but, despite taking 6 for 67 on debut and being the highest wicket taker for England in the series only played an initial eight Tests before having to wait five years before his next appearance.

Career
Such enjoyed a 19-year first-class career including stints at Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire before joining Essex in 1990. It was at Essex where he gained most success although he is perhaps best remembered for hitting the winning boundary in the second day of a Natwest Trophy semi final against Glamorgan in 1997 when play had been suspended the day before due to bad light with Mark Ilott and Robert Croft having an on field confrontation seen on BBC television. Essex went on to win the Trophy. Such also helped Essex to win the County Championship in 1991 and 1992. He toured Australia with England 'A', taking 11 for 134 (comprising figures of 7 for 82 and 4 for 62) in victory over the Commonwealth Bank Cricket Academy, and dismissing Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist twice each. During the 1993 season, when he made his England debut, Such bowled more first-class overs than any other bowler, and also took 76 wickets, more than any bowler except Mushtaq Ahmed and Steve Watkin. He also took 56 wickets in the County Championship in 1997.

He also enjoyed success on his eventual recall to the England team against Australia, taking 11 wickets in the Ashes in 1998–9, including his other test five-wicket haul, 5 for 81 at Sydney. Although not noted for his batting, in 1999, playing in his final Test at Old Trafford, he made the second-longest duck in Test history, from 52 balls, against New Zealand, and earned a standing ovation.

Such joined the ECB in 2009, going full-time in 2012, to work with bowlers throughout the England Performance Pathway as the National Lead Spin Bowling Coach. After leaving the role in November 2019 Such became a match referee ahead of the 2020 English cricket season.

Harry Holgate

Harold Norman Holgate AO (5 December 1933 – 16 March 1997) was an Australian politician. He was premier of Tasmania from 1981 to 1982, serving as state leader of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) during that period. He succeeded Doug Lowe as party leader and premier during internal conflict over the Franklin Dam controversy, leading the ALP to defeat at the 1982 state election just over six months after taking office.

Early life
Holgate was born on 5 December 1933 in Maitland, New South Wales. He was the son of Aleen Margaret (née Norman) and Harold William Holgate. His father, a journalist by profession, was killed in action during World War II while serving with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).

Holgate attended Maitland Boys' High School. He joined the Sydney Morning Herald as a cadet in 1952 and later moved to Melbourne where he worked for The Herald. He was also active in radio and television. He arrived in Tasmania in 1963 to work for The Examiner in Launceston. He was the newspaper's political correspondent and deputy chief of staff, later transferring to the state government's Directorate of Industrial Development and Trade where he was a publicity manager. He joined ABC Television in 1970 as the executive producer of the Tasmanian edition of This Day Tonight.

Holgate's time at the ABC was controversial due to his open alignment with the ALP. Following his endorsement as an ALP candidate in 1972, four reporters on This Day Tonight stated that his role would compromise the political independence of the program and their role as independent reporters. Holgate was reinstated to the ABC after the 1972 election and the four reporters subsequently resigned.

Politics
Holgate joined the ALP in the 1950s. He first stood for parliament at the 1972 state election, unsuccessfully contesting the seat of Bass. He subsequently served as press secretary to Tasmanian MP and deputy prime minister Lance Barnard.

Holgate was elected to the Tasmanian House of Assembly in 1974 following a recount after the resignation of Allan Foster. He was elected speaker of the House of Assembly in 1975 in place of Eric Barnard, after less than a year in parliament. According to his ALP colleague Michael Polley, "other MPs, including Michael Barnard and Hedley Farquhar, saw Harry as a threat and decided to shut him up and put him in as Speaker".

As speaker, Holgate developed a high profile and was nicknamed "Headline Harry" for his use of publicity stunts. He studied part-time at the University of Tasmania during his first years in parliament and graduated Bachelor of Arts in 1976. Holgate was re-elected in Bass at the 1976 state election and subsequently resigned as speaker to take up a ministerial appointment in the government of Bill Neilson. He was initially responsible for the housing and reconstruction portfolios, then after a reshuffle in 1977 held the education, recreation and arts portfolios.

Premier of Tasmania
Holgate became Premier in 1981 after a motion of no confidence was raised against Doug Lowe, who subsequently resigned from the party. Holgate only stayed in office for seven months, before being defeated by Robin Gray's Liberals at the 1982 election—only the second time in 48 years that Labor had been consigned to opposition in Tasmania.

By March 1982, Holgate's public approval rating as premier was just 11 percent, with 66 percent disapproving of his performance according to a Morgan Gallup poll. He resigned as leader after the election, stating that he had "tried my best, but we were brought down before I could lead the Labor government back into a position of public esteem".

Until Lara Giddings in 2014, Holgate was the last defeated Premier who did not then serve as Leader of the Opposition. When the ALP next achieved government in 1989, under Michael Field, Holgate was not included in the cabinet. Nevertheless, he remained a member of parliament until he retired at the 1992 election.

Personal life
In 1957, Holgate married Katharine White, the daughter of federal parliamentary librarian Harold White. They soon divorced and in 1963 he remarried to Rosalind Wesley, with whom he had four children.

Holgate was diagnosed with lung and liver cancer in 1996. He died on 16 March 1997 in Hillwood, Tasmania, and was granted a state funeral.

Leimen (Baden)

Leimen (South Franconian: Lååme) is a town in north-west Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is about 7 km south of Heidelberg and the third largest town of the Rhein-Neckar district after Weinheim and Sinsheim. It is also the area's industrial centre.

Leimen is located on the Bergstraße (Mountain Road) and on the Bertha Benz Memorial Route.

In the context of a communal reform in the 1970s, Leimen was newly created from the villages Leimen, Gauangelloch and Sankt Ilgen. In 1981, the state government of Baden-Württemberg granted Leimen the privilege to be called "town." When Leimen's population exceeded 20,000 in 1990, the city council applied for elevation to a Große Kreisstadt which was granted by the state government on 1 April 1992.

History
The first documentary record of Leimen is from 791, when both the Lorsch Abbey and the Diocese of Worms owned land there. First records of the districts are from 1270 for Gauangelloch (a document supposedly from 1016 was found out to be a fake), 1312 for Lingental, around 1300 for Ochsenbach and 1100 for Sankt Ilgen, then called bruch, an Old High German word for bog.

In 1262, the lords of Bruchsal gave Leimen to the Electorate of the Palatinate as a fiefdom and from 1464 on Leimen was part of the Palatinate. In 1579, Leimen was granted the right to celebrate an annual fair and became a marketplace in 1595. In 1674, Leimen was partially destroyed.

Cassianus Bassus

Cassianus Bassus, called Scholasticus (lawyer), was one of the geoponici, a group of Greek and Latin writers on agricultural subjects. He lived at the end of the 6th or the beginning of the 7th century.

Bassus compiled from earlier writers a collection of agricultural literature; the principal source was Vindonius Anatolius. Dedicated to his son, also called Bassus, his work was entitled Eklogai peri georgias ("Selections on farming"); the usual Latin version of this title is Eclogae de re rustica.

The original Greek text of Cassianus Bassus has been lost, but some of the contents have survived as part of a collection entitled Geoponica, completed about the year 950 and dedicated to the emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus. It contains a full list of the authorities drawn upon, and the subjects treated include agriculture, birds, bees, horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, fishes and the like. In addition, a 7th-century Middle Persian translation and two different Arabic language translations of respectively the 8th and 9th century have also survived.

According to a Byzantine tradition attributed to Cassianus Bassus, pig dung fertilizer should only be used for almond trees. Similar views were expressed by Columella, long pre-dating Islamic taboos related to the animal, though Ibn Bassal and some later writers from Yemen also recorded negative effects of pig dung "burning" (haraqa) plants.
