Oliver Janich

Oliver Janich (born 3 January 1969) is a German far-right conspiracy theorist, former journalist, author and banned YouTuber. He is the founder and former president of the libertarian, minor party Partei der Vernunft (Party of Reason).

Investigations and conspiracy theories
Janich worked as an editor for the German magazine Focus Money where he was effectively let go in 2010 for advertising his own political party the Party of Reason in the magazine.

Investigations against Janich for alleged stock market manipulation
Together with two friends from the time he studied economics, Janich was part of a network of stock traders and stock market journalists ("Bosler-Clique") who systemically raised the share prices of rather unknown listed companies, whose shares had previously been bought by people in their network, by promoting the purchase of the companies shares. In September 2010, the Public Prosecutor's Office of Munich ordered a search of the offices and apartments of approximately 30 suspects including Janich. The ringleaders of the conspiracy, of whom Janich was not one according to findings from the trial, were convicted in 2012. Several stock market journalists had reduced their sentences by admitting their crimes and only received suspended sentences at most.

He currently resides in the Philippines. In August 2022, he was arrested by the Philippine authorities at a resort in Romblon.

Conspiracy theories
As a financial journalist, Janich represented conspiracy theories about 9/11 in several of his articles and these theories are present in his books as well. Furthermore, he spread conspiracy theories about alleged election fraud during the 2018 Bavarian state election without providing any evidence.

Janich published a YouTube video against the appointment of Sinan Selen as Vice President of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, claiming that Selen had gotten the job "at the request of the Turkish government". According to German magazine Spiegel Online, his YouTube videos contain "partly racist statements and employ anti-Semitic conspiracy theories".

Janich is considered a disseminator of the QAnon conspiracy theories.

Party of Reason
Janich founded the Party of Reason after the proposal to found a party, which he made in a Focus Money column, received positive feedback from his readers.

On 17 April 2013, Janich resigned as chairman of the party.

Political views
Janich supported the Alternative for Germany party (AfD) ahead of the 2017 German federal election. In 2018 he compared a documentary of the children's TV-channel KiKa with the propaganda of Joseph Goebbels. Also in 2018, Janich distributed a video that allegedly showed journalists staging images of refugees in a maritime emergency. Journalist Jacques Pezet later exposed the video as fake. After the 2018 Bavarian state election, the German television channel Bayerische Rundfunk reported on its website that Janich was distributing videos that were alleging fraud during the election without providing any proof whatsoever.

In June 2020, the German TV-program Frontal, showed in a feature on conspiracy theorists, how Janich was talking about tribunals for politicians and journalists, saying that "Many of the people in power today actually belong hanged".

Draft talk:Tropical Storm Karen (2019)

Redirect back to season article?
I question Karen's notability, as it never did significant damage anywhere, and was both weak and short lived. I suggest redirecting back to the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season article. James-the-Charizard (talk to me!) (contribs) 01:00, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Wait Let's give it some time to see how much damage Karen has done. It's highly unlikely that the storm has caused any fatalities, though.  I Need Support  :V 19:03, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I wasn't trying to be hasty... But from it's track and it's strength, it looked like an average storm. That is why I assumed a lack of notability... James-the-Charizard (talk to me!) (contribs) 22:58, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Apologizes since you saw that as hasty. To be honest, I do agree with you somewhat. It is a weak storm that is semi-short lived. However, since it impacted land, I just wanted to see how much damage it does to judge if this article should be merged or not.  I Need Support  :V 03:57, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I definitely don't object to a wait-and-see approach, as damage estimates are not done. James-the-Charizard (talk to me!) (contribs) 04:01, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Support Seems that there is no report of ant deaths and damages associated with Karen. I support a merge. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:54, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * It is seeming more like it. My quick glance at a search turned up not much, most sources claiming minimal damage. It's been roughly 11 days, how much longer should we wait to determine damage estimates? James-the-Charizard (talk to me!) (contribs) 03:57, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * 11 days is a lot of time. I think it’s safe to say that this article needs to be merged.  I Need Support  :V 04:06, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I myself am unfortunately not good at merging pages so I will leave it to another user. James-the-Charizard (talk to me!) (contribs) 10:34, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and redirected this article to 2019 Atlantic Hurricane Season.  I Need Support  :V 15:33, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks! James-the-Charizard (talk to me!) (contribs) 15:38, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Victoria Theatre (Newcastle)

The Victoria Theatre is a heritage-listed former theatre at 8–10 Perkins Street, Newcastle, City of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. It was opened in 1876 and rebuilt during 1890–1891, and is the oldest theatre still standing in New South Wales. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 27 August 1999.

The Victoria is only one of several large 'stage and screen' theatres built across the city from the 1870s until the early twentieth-century that have since been closed down. Others of importance were the early Central Mission Theatre on King Street, the Civic Theatre, and the Theatre Royal both on Hunter Street.

History
The first Victoria Theatre was built on the site in 1876. This was altered in 1885 and razed in 1890. The third Victoria Theatre was built in 1890 and closed as a cinema in 1966.

Early performances at the theatre included Deglorian Acrobats (1880) and the Montague-Turner Opera Company (1881), the latter performing Lucia di Lammermoor, Il trovatore and Faust.

In 1886, a company of prominent men including the mayors of both Newcastle (Mr J. Creer) and Maitland met in Newcastle and agreed to buy the theatre.

The theatre was extensively rebuilt in 1890. The architect in charge of the 1890 rebuilding was Mr. James Henderson, who elaborately furnished the three level auditorium in neo-Grecian theme. A large stage house and a small first class hotel were also incorporated in the second theatre that could seat 1,700 people. The stalls were steeply sloped and the dress circle could accommodate 500 people. It was fitted with American-style folding seats. The stage was 45 ft wide, 38 ft deep and 55 ft high.

The Fletcher Memorial concerts were held in 1893, raising funds for a statue of the late James Fletcher MLA with Alexander Brown, MLC opening the concerts.

In May 1897 there was the Grand Concert Governor's Reception under the immediate patronage of Lord Hampden and Lady Hampden and the Mayor and Mayoress of Sydney and Newcastle. May/June saw the Flying Jordons American Vaudeville Athletes and Entertainers and also Ireland revisited. On several full moon nights in June the city/region celebrated Queen Victoria's record reign. The exterior of the theatre was brilliantly illuminated and a transparency of the queen was exhibited on the front of the theatre while 4th Regiment band played a number of selections in Perkins Street. National Anthem was sung, Mr C. Hannell performed Hamlet and Othello in aid of Newcastle Hospital, Lime light views of 'A day's holiday at Windsor' - life like views of the queen and the royal family by G. Hall and T. Simon, concluding with fireworks. July saw Ada Delroy Company with Cobra Di Capello Dance and the Lumeire Cinematographe. During September the City celebrated the Centennial of Lieutenant John Shortland's Discovery of Newcastle and Alfred Dampier's Company presented his plays including: Robbery Under Arms, Monte Cristo, East Lynne etc. October saw Professor D M Bristo, who had his performing Horses, Ponies and Mules on stage.

The theatre's facilities were upgraded in 1905 by Architect Mr E. A. Scott of Sydney with Government approval, the auditorium was redecorated and extra dressing rooms were built which allow the stage to be widened.

A number of Australian melodramas were staged at the theatre, including Thunderbolt (1906), The Squatter's Daughter (1909), For The Term of His Natural Life (1909), On Our Selection (1913) and Seven Little Australians (1920).

The Great Glove Contest Boxing between legendary Les Darcy and Bob Whitelaw was held on Eight Hour Day morning, November 1913. After 20 hard rounds, Whitelaw was awarded the decision. Lilly Lantry had her first appearance in Newcastle in 1913.

Another show for charity, Romeo and Juliet, with Miss Essie Jenyns alias Mrs J. R. Wood and Mr Malcolm McEachern of Madam Melba Concert Company with funds in aid of Newcastle Hospital in 1914. Madam Schell's bewildering Lions also appeared in 1914.

Subsequent changes to the liquor laws meant that the theatre could no longer contain a hotel, so 1921 there were extensive renovations to convert the theatre into dual stage and screen use.

Late 1921 saw a major internal refurbishment costing 20,000 pounds, removing the upper balcony and small hotel, rebuilding the dress circle and making it more suitable for use as a cinema. The auditorium was redecorated by artist Norman Carter with painted Grecian murals of dancing nymphs.

Architects for the refurbishment were Robertson and Marks who later designed the late ornate Prince Edward Theatre and the Bondi Beach Pavilion and builders were James Porter and Sons later builders for the Sydney Capitol, Regent and Melbourne's grand Regent theatres. Will Herbert became the General Manager for northern district.

In early 1922, the Victoria was taken over by Sir Benjamin and John Fuller of Melbourne's Princess Theatre fame and they built the large late Sydney St. James Theatre and added the Newcastle Victoria to their national live theatre chain. It was in the Victoria Theatre that the Hunter Region was introduced to theatre companies such as J. C. Williamsons, Fuller's and the Elizabethan Theatre Trust. Sir Harry Lauder visited Newcastle on several occasions, two well-known visits being in 1925, when he gave several performances at the Victoria Theatre. George Wallace visited the theatre in 1926. Gladys Moncrieff made her first Newcastle appearance with Rio Rita in 1928. It saw an expensive Italian Opera Festival in 1928–29, with 12 operates in 10 days. Other performances included Odiva and Her Seals (1922), Midnight Frolics with Clem Dawe (1928, 1932), Gilbert and Sullivan collection (1905, 1906, 1927, 1936), the Royal Grand Opera in 1935, and the Gala Patriotic Matinee with Roy Mo Rene in 1940.

The theatre was also used for films by Haymarket, Union Theatres, Snider and Dean and, lastly Hoyts, who took control of the Victoria in 1942. CinemaScope was installed around 1955, with no widening of the somewhat decorated proscenium. It is believed that Hoyts repainted the auditorium. Movies shown at the Victoria Theatre included: A Daughter of the Gods, Trader Horn, Gone With The Wind, Seven Little Australians, The 39 Steps, Fantasia, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and The White Cliffs of Dover.

J C Williamson's continued to hold live shows there into the 1950s and 1960s. In the 1950s and 1960s, the theatre saw an ice skating show from the United States (1953), Oklahoma! (1953), National Opera seasons in 1951 with Ivan Menzies and 1954, Joan Hammond singing in Tosca in 1957, Ziegfeld Follies (1962), Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs from London (1963), The Sound of Music (1963) and June Bronhill performing The Merry Widow (1964).

After a 90-year career, the theatre quietly closed in 1964 with the Bette Davis film Who's Buried in my Grave. The theatrical apparatus was retained as if might one day be reopened for live theatre, the huge velvet stage curtain hanging forlornly at half-mast.

Since closing the theatre the vestibule (lower foyer) and back stalls area has been subject to alteration for retail purposes. It was bought by W. Eastham for 33,000 pounds in November 1966 and in 1967 it opened as Eastham's Theatre Store. This went into liquidation in 1982. c. 1998 clothing business Jeans Connection rented the building on a weekly basis, creating an internal retail shell. In 1999 the building was bought by Ambrow P/L and opened as a toyshop (Supertoys). In 2004 it was bought by veteran hotelier Arthur Launry, and after being empty and derelict for a decade, it was sold to Century Venues (owners of the Enmore Theatre) in November 2015 with plans to refurbish it to its former glory.

Performances
When in operation, the Victoria was the principal theatre in Newcastle, and over the course of its history had attracted performers such as Gladys Moncrieff, Lily Langtry, Richard Tauber, Joan Hammond and June Bronhill. Touring companies also performed at the Victoria, notably London's D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, as well as ballet troupes. Australian actor Jim Gerald performed at the Victoria Theatre on 4 September 1915 as a part of his country-wide tour. It was the actor's second last performance before joining the Australian Imperial Forces during the First World War.

The dual career of the nation's oldest theatre ended quietly during 1966 with the screening of a Bette Davis 'B' film Who's Buried in my Grave. After 90 years of uninterrupted service, the interior of the Victoria has been left practically untouched by owners to ensure that it maintains the potential to be reopened in the future.

Description
A highly decorated Victorian facade finished in smooth and modelled stucco with some classical decorative elements. The facade forms the front to a large auditorium of undecorated plain finishes. The facade consists of a ground floor, which has been altered to suit progressive tenants. The two levels above the awning is divided by deep string courses and divided into bays by pilasters. The top is terminated by a richly decorated parapet fence, featuring a central tablet with the building's name in moulded lettering. The facade features recessed blind windows, of grand proportions defined by the pilasters. The blind windows reveal the nature of the building, a theatre, designed to exclude daylight. The central bay on the upper floor features a window. The return walls are unusual in that they step upwards from the facade meeting the roof over the auditorium.

The decorative elements are relatively intact although the metal awning appears to be a later addition and some of the blind windows have been opened for later screens and vets.

The interior dress circle, circle foyer, proscenium, stage, fly tower, dressing rooms, ceilings and walls of the Victoria are all intact. Only the vestibule (lower foyer) and back stalls area has been subject to alteration for retail purposes. The exterior above the awning is also intact, as it was after the 1921 alterations (with the former hotel windows "blinded" when the auditorium was extended).

It was reported to be in good condition as at 2 June 1999.

Virtual reality recreation
In 2018, the interior of the Victoria Theatre was recreated in virtual reality, as it was in 1891 by Dr Gillian Arrighi and staff from the University of Newcastle. Participants were able to experience the foyers, stalls, circle, gallery and stage.

Heritage listing
The Victoria Theatre is a building of State importance. It is the oldest theatre building still standing in New South Wales. It represents an age of silent pictures, vaudeville and early legitimate theatre that no other building can offer in this State, being over 100 years old.

It is virtually intact, except for vestibule/back stalls alterations. Demolition of false shop walls may reveal that even these areas remain unaltered. The theatre represents an 1891 facade, an auditorium that is both 1891 and 1921, with extensive backstage facilities. It is an important part of Newcastle's heritage, but also a significant building for NSW.

Victoria Theatre was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 27 August 1999 having satisfied the following criteria.

The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales.

Nepal Financial Reporting Standards

Nepal Financial Reporting Standards (NFRS) are designed as a common global language for business affairs so that company accounts are understandable and comparable within Nepal. The rules are to be followed by accountants to maintain books of accounts which are comparable, understandable, reliable and relevant to users internal or external.

Objective of financial statements
Financial statements are a structured representation of the financial positions and financial performance of an entity. The objective of financial statements is to provide information about the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions.

To meet this objective, financial statements provide information about an entity's: This information, along with other information in the notes, assists users of financial statements to predict the entity's future cash flows and, in particular, their timing and certainty.
 * assets;
 * liabilities;
 * equity;
 * income and expenses, including gains and losses;
 * contributions by and distributions to owners in their capacity as owners;
 * cash flows

The following are the general features in NFRS: Fair presentation requires the faithful representation of the effects of the transactions, other events and conditions in accordance with the definitions and recognition criteria for assets, liabilities, income and expenses set out in the Framework of NFRS. Financial statements are present on a going concern basis unless management either intends to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. An entity shall recognise items as assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses when they satisfy the definition and recognition criteria for those elements in the Framework of NFRS. Every material class of similar items has to be presented separately. Items that are of a dissimilar nature or function shall be presented separately unless they are immaterial. Offsetting is generally forbidden in NFRS. NFRS requires that at least annually a complete set of financial statements is presented. NFRS requires entities to present comparative information in respect of the preceding period for all amounts reported in the current period's financial statements. In addition comparative information shall also be provided for narrative and descriptive information if it is relevant to understanding the current period's financial statements. NFRS requires that the presentation and classification of items in the financial statements is retained from one period to the next unless: (a) it is apparent, following a significant change in the nature of the entity's operations or a review of its financial statements, that another presentation or classification would be more appropriate having regard to the criteria for the selection and application of accounting policies. (b) an NFRS standard requires a change in presentation.

Harry H. Nichols House

The Harry H. Nichols House is a historic house at 216 S. 4th Avenue in Maywood, Illinois. The house was built in 1894 for Harry H. Nichols, the former postmaster of Maywood and the son of village founder William T. Nichols. It was designed in the Queen Anne style, which was popular in the late nineteenth century; along with the Jacob Bohlander House, it is one of two large, formal Queen Anne homes in Maywood. The house's design includes a wraparound front porch with a balustrade, a gable with a sunburst design above the entrance, a projecting gabled bay on its south side, and a rectangular tower at its southeast corner. Neoclassical elements such as urns, columns, and cornices adorn its interior; these were most likely inspired by the architecture of the recent Columbian Exposition.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 24, 1992.

Clyde M. Reed

Clyde Martin Reed (October 19, 1871 – November 8, 1949) was an American politician from Kansas who served as both the 24th Governor of Kansas and U.S. Senator from that state.

Biography
Born in Champaign County, Illinois, Reed moved to Kansas with his family when he was four years old. After completing a basic education, he taught school for a single year then began work as a federal employee. He served in different capacities for the next thirty years. He first worked for the railroad mail carrier service, rising to be superintendent of several areas throughout the Midwest and then to the Railway Adjustment Division, Post Office Department superintendent. He married Minnie E. Hart in 1891 and they had ten children.

Career
In 1919, Reed became personal secretary to Governor Henry J. Allen in Topeka, who was also owner and publisher of the Wichita Beacon. Four years later, he purchased controlling interest in the Parsons Sun newspaper of Parsons, Kansas, and continued as publisher until his death in 1949. He served on the Kansas Industrial Court from 1920 to 1921, and was a member of the Public Utilities Commission from 1921 to 1924.

Reed was elected Governor of Kansas in 1929, after becoming known as a candidate for being extremely progressive. Shortly after he moved into the governor's mansion, the Great Depression began. Reed called an extra session of the state legislature to combat the troubles faced by Kansans dealing with the depression.

Reed was defeated in his bid for renomination in 1930, and returned to newspaper editing. When the anti-Semitic preacher Gerald B. Winrod ran for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate in 1938 and seemed likely to win it, Reed was recruited by the mainstream political establishment as a popular figure who could prevent Winrod's nomination. Reed won the nomination and the general election, unseating incumbent Democrat George McGill, and was re-elected in 1944, and served in that office until his death. While in the Senate, his fellow Kansas Senator was also a former governor, Arthur Capper. Reed attempted to obtain the 1942 Republican nomination for governor of Kansas but failed.

Death
Reed died in 1949 while on a visit home from the Senate. He is interred at Oakwood Cemetery in Parsons.

Talk:Di Brandt

Untitled
I deleted the following:

"Di Brandt came under criticism at the end of 2008 over a conflict-of-interest controversy involving the Governor General's Award jury that she sat on. Brandt was one of three jurors who awarded the annual poetry prize to poet Jacob Scheier. In the acknowledgements for his winning book, More to Keep Us Warm, he had thanked by name two of the three jurors. Brandt had helped him with some translating and some editing, and juror Pier Giorgia De Cicco had provided a blurb for the cover.[1]"

And here is why: Firstly, as with Azwells attempt to put this information on my wikipedia page, it distorts the issue. Di Brandt was accused, by some, of wrong doing, not convicted in any manner. The Canada Council for the Arts stood by the jury's decision. This information distorts more than it informs the reader about who Di Brandt is. Some (though not all - see second point) of the information belongs on the 'controversy' section of the '2008 Governor General's Award' page. Secondly, some of the information is inaccurate. The accusation that Di Brandt helped with "some editing" is unsubstantiated speculation based on an interpretation of my acknowledgments page. Thirdly, saying "some translating" is misleading; it leads one to believe she had more of an involvement in my book than is the case. In truth she helped translate three words from German. As with the edit war on my own page, I cannot claim to be uninterested in this page, but if I did not correct what I see as improper editing, I fear it would remain and this would be quite unfair to Di Brandt, as well as myself.

I would welcome an impartial third party from the wikipedia community to weigh in on this, as I suspect Azwells will not agree with my edits or comments.Helpssome (talk) 05:19, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Kazansky suburban railway line

The Kazansky suburban railway line (Казанское направление Московской железной дороги) is one of eleven railway lines used for suburban railway connections between Moscow, Russia, and surrounding areas, mostly in Moscow Oblast. The Kazansky suburban railway line connects Moscow with the stations in the east, in particular, with the towns of Lyubertsy, Kurovskoye, and Shatura. The stations the line serves are located in Moscow, as well as in Lyubertsy, Ramenskoye, Orekhovo-Zuyevo, and Shatura in Moscow Oblast. The suburban trains have their western terminus at Moscow Kazansky railway station in Moscow. In the eastern direction, the suburban trains terminate at Kurovskaya, Shatura, and Cherusti. There are also direct suburban trains to Yegoryevsk which from Kurovskaya follow Greater Ring of the Moscow Railway. The line is operated by Moscow Railway. The tracks between Moscow Kazansky railway station and Lyubertsy I are also used by Ryazansky suburban railway line.

The suburban railway line follows the railway which connects Moscow with Arzamas and Kazan. It is electrified and has two tracks everywhere between Moscow and Kazan, though in Vekovka the electric power changes. The distance between Moscow Kazansky railway station and Cherusti is 156 km.

History
The railway between Moscow and Kolomna, which includes the section between Moscow and Lyubertsy, was constructed between 1860 and 1862 and was officially open for passenger and cargo traffic on 20 July 1862. The line connecting Lyubertsy and Murom was opened in 1911. The section between Moscow and Lyubertsy was electrified in 1933. The electrification was extended to Cherusti in 1960.

Stations
Following the standard notations in Russia, a railway stop below is called a station if it is a terminus or if it has a cargo terminal, and it is called a platform otherwise.
 * 1) Moscow Kazansky railway station (station), transfer to Kurskaya metro station of Sokolnicheskaya line and Komsomolskaya metro station of Koltsevaya line;

Manuel Álvarez (trader)

Manuel Álvarez (c.1794 – 5 July 1856) was a Spanish-born Santa Fe trader who became lieutenant-governor of New Mexico.

Trader
Manuel Álvarez was born in Spain around 1794. In 1818 he left Spain, reaching Mexico in 1819. In 1823 he left Mexico and travelled via Cuba to Missouri, then continued from St. Louis west to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he opened a store. The Mexican republic had gained independence from Spain during the Mexican War of Independence (1810–1821). In 1829 the Mexican government expelled all Spanish nationals, so Álvarez had to leave New Mexico. For a few years Álvarez was a free trapper in the Rocky Mountain fur trade, then a brigade leader for the American Fur Company, returning to Santa Fe around 1834.

On 21 March 1839 he was appointed United States consul at Santa Fe. He did not receive a formal "exequator" from the government of Mexico, but was informally permitted to act as consul by the governor. He reached Santa Fe in July 1839, finding no seal, flag, coat of arms or other normal consular equipment when he arrived. The Texan Santa Fe Expedition of 1841, which the Mexicans saw as a military invasion, created a crisis in Santa Fe. The local American merchants were subject to popular and official attacks. When the expedition approached Santa Fe, Alvares asked Governor Manuel Armijo for permission to go out and talk with the leader, but was refused. Alvarez later was wounded and narrowly escaped death from an angry crowd. This crisis blew over, and Álvarez served as acting consul until the U.S. occupation in 1846.

Álvarez's store became one of the largest in New Mexico. He was a resourceful individual, "an artful dodger and a pragmatist of the highest order", and became a wealthy and influential member of Santa Fe society both before and after the U.S. took control. He was critical of the Mexican government but a friend of the Mexicans, although he said of them, "They were too gullible, especially to the polished chicanery of American Merchants."

Based on a letter from the Auguste Lacome, Auguste Lacome to Álvarez, French was among the languages he spoke.

U.S. politician
On 18 March 1846 Álvarez was appointed the commercial agent of the United States at Santa Fe, receiving his commission after General Stephen W. Kearny entered the city on 15 August 1846 and took control of New Mexico for the United States. After the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo had been signed in February 1848, Álvarez strongly supported admitting New Mexico into the union as a state.

On 20 June 1850 a popular vote ratified the New Mexico "state" constitution, and Álvarez was elected lieutenant-governor of New Mexico. For a period he was acting Governor while Governor Henry Connelly was absent. However, the military Governor John Munroe forbade the assumption of civil power by the elected officials. The result was a deadlock that lasted for several months. On 9 September 1850 the U.S. Senate passed a compromise bill that included an act to organize a government for New Mexico as a territory, and this overrode the state legislature. James S. Calhoun was appointed governor with effect as of 3 March 1851, succeeding John Munroe. Álvarez served as an official in the territorial government until his death.

He died at Santa Fe on 5 July 1856.

 Six extant mustelid genera The 23 genera and 59 species of Mustelidae, a family of mammals in the order Carnivora, are split into 8 subfamilies: Guloninae, martens and wolverines; Helictidinae, ferret-badgers; Ictonychinae, African polecats and grisons; Lutrinae, otters; Melinae, Eurasian badgers; Mellivorinae, the honey badger; Mustelinae, weasels and minks; and Taxidiinae, the American badger. A member of this family is called a mustelid; Mustelidae is the largest family in Carnivora. They are found on all continents except Antarctica and Australia, and are a diverse family; sizes (including tails) range from the widespread 17 cm (6.7 in) least weasel to the 1.8 m (5.9 ft) giant otter of Amazonian South America. Habitats vary widely as well, from the arboreal marten to the fossorial European badger to the marine sea otter. (Full list...)

Line of succession to the former Egyptian throne

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This throne has been defunct since 1953. WP:DEL-REASON 6: Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and articles that are themselves hoaxes (but not articles describing notable hoaxes). It is impossible to attribute the current line of succession to this throne to WP:RELIABLE sources, because there is no current line of succession, because monarchy doesn't exist anymore.

So basically, the same reasons as the previous 25 lines of successions to defunct thrones that have been deleted recently (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25). TompaDompa (talk) 12:17, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete For all the usual reasons, and this article is mostly unsourced. PatGallacher (talk) 16:57, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. There does not appear to be sufficient independent coverage of royal pretensions, and especially of the specific succession line claimed here (the sole ref for #2 in the line is a facebook picture announcing the birth of Mohamed Ali's twins). The info on pre-1953 succession rules is rightfully covered by History_of_Egypt_under_the_Muhammad_Ali_dynasty, so zero verifiable information would be lost by deleting this page. JoelleJay (talk) 19:49, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete It is not 1905, and mankind does not in the main anymore see a need for monarchs. Basically for the last 112 years every new state created has been created without a monarchy. You might be able to quip with me about Iraq, but almost all post WWI states were created that way, and so have all post-WWII states, and so monarchies are almost extinct and there is no reason to pretend there is meaning to all these displaced monarchies.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:24, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge - simply because something is historical, isn't a reason to delete information from wikipedia, but this information could be merged with the main article Muhammad_Ali_dynasty Deathlibrarian (talk) 01:29, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Deletion is not being proposed because the information is historical, it is being proposed because the rules used to determine the line of succession are historical rules inoperative in the world at present. The actual current rule of succession in Egypt is that whomever the military supports will be awarded the victory in the periodic manipulated elections, but that is not a formula one can use to predict any line of succession. Agricolae (talk) 02:40, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge -- The article contains some information on the relationship within the family that is not in Muhammad Ali dynasty, which only has a list of other members of the family. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:44, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete non notable, defunt Royal Family   -- Devoke water   (talk)  22:08, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge selectively to Muhammad Ali dynasty. While the current line of succession is unencyclopedic speculation, there is some sourced content about succession while the dynasty was in power which would make a suitable addition there.  Hut 8.5  10:43, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Featured article candidates/Amarte Es un Placer (album)/archive3

TFA blurb review
Amarte Es un Placer (Loving You Is a Pleasure) is the thirteenth studio album by Mexican singer Luis Miguel. Released by WEA Latina in 1999, it is a pop album with R&B and jazz influences. Miguel was one of the songwriters and produced the album, which spawned four singles: "Sol, Arena y Mar", "O Tú o Ninguna", "Dormir Contigo", and the title track. Miguel's world tour promoting the album (pictured in September 1999) became the highest-grossing tour by a Spanish-speaking recording artist. Amarte Es un Placer debuted at number one in Spain and on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart in the United States. It was certified gold in the United States and achieved multi-platinum status in Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Spain. The album received mixed reviews on its release, but went on to sell more than three million copies worldwide by 2007. Accolades included the Latin Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, and a Grammy nomination for Miguel for Best Latin Pop Performance.

Just a suggested blurb ... thoughts and edits are welcome. - Dank (push to talk) 16:21, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh, yay! I had hoped that the article would've been promoted before the album turned 20, but it's close enough, and it's Hispanic Heritage Month here in the US, so it's all good to me! Erick (talk) 01:57, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Congratulations on the FAC. Aha ... now I see the September 15 date is because eight different Latin American countries all celebrate their independence days during the same week. That clears up a mystery. - Dank (push to talk) 02:15, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast

Comcast Sports Southeast and Charter Sports Southeast (CSS) was an American regional sports network for the Southern United States that was operated as a joint venture between cable television providers Comcast and Charter Communications. In contrast to its competitor Fox Sports South, CSS had a heavier focus on college sports – with broadcasting partnerships with many of the area's colleges and universities.

The network was carried exclusively on cable television systems in the region, primarily those owned by Comcast and Charter. The initials stood for Comcast Sports Southeast in Comcast markets and Charter Sports Southeast in Charter markets. However, the logo closely resembled the logo Comcast used until 2013, and it was operated as part of the NBC Sports Group unit of NBCUniversal, along with the Comcast SportsNet networks. The channel reached over six million homes in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.

Programming
CSS's main competitors were Fox Sports South and Fox Sports Southeast (then known as "SportSouth"). All three networks shared some programming, including college coaches' shows. However, Fox Sports South and SportSouth had ties to most of the South's professional sports teams, and the Southeastern and Atlantic Coast conferences as wholes. CSS, on the other hand, regularly broadcast live sporting events of some of the smaller and less heralded colleges of the region, as well as those of some of the large SEC and ACC schools (for example, college baseball coverage included SEC, ACC, Sun Belt, C-USA, and Atlantic Sun conference games ). During football season, CSS produced its own feeds of many of the region's major college games exclusively for tape-delayed broadcasts, even though the games may have aired live on other networks.

CSS also broadcast the Gwinnett Braves, WNBA's Atlanta Dream, Major League Lacrosse, Southern League and South Atlantic League Minor League baseball, and previously broadcast the Arena Football League's Georgia Force, Orlando Predators and Tampa Bay Storm, and some CFL contests.

Local cable systems were able to pre-empt normal CSS programming in favor of local sporting events, such as high school football and basketball games and local collegiate sporting events.

CSS aired a nightly sports talk show titled SportsNite. On most Comcast SportsNet services, this program was in a newscast format similar to SportsCenter, but on CSS, it more closely resembled a southern-exclusive version of Fox Sports Net's The Best Damn Sports Show Period.

In March 2008, CSS's owners Comcast and Charter struck separate deals with the Atlanta Braves to simulcast 45 regular season and two exhibition games produced and broadcast in the Atlanta metropolitan area by independent station WPCH-TV (channel 17). The broadcasts were available on CSS on Charter and Comcast cable systems throughout Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia (except for Metro Atlanta), and the city of Asheville, North Carolina. This deal ended in the 2011 season – due to the operations of WPCH being taken over by Meredith Corporation under a local marketing agreement, production duties for the Braves telecasts were transferred to Fox Sports South, and were instead simulcast on SportSouth outside of Atlanta; on March 1, 2013, Fox Sports South and SportSouth announced the channel struck deals to air 45 more Atlanta Braves games, ending the team's contract with WPCH-TV.

Starting in April 2009, CSS broadcast at least 25 Gwinnett Braves games over the next four seasons.

Shutdown of CSS
It was announced on March 14, 2014 that CSS would shut down on June 1, 2014. The closure of the network followed the loss of its SEC programming (which had generated much of CSS' ratings and revenue) to ESPN's new SEC Network. The final original program that aired on CSS was "Through The Years", a retrospective of the network's 15-year history which first aired on May 23, 2014 and was repeated daily until the network signed off on June 1, 2014.

Electoral Administration Act 2006

The Electoral Administration Act 2006 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, passed on 11 July 2006.

Among its main provisions, the Act:

 * Provides a legislative framework for setting up a "Coordinated Online Record of Electors", known as "CORE", to co-ordinate electoral registration information across regions.
 * Creates new criminal offences for supplying false electoral registration details or for failure to supply such details.
 * Allows people to register anonymously on electoral registers if a 'safety test' is passed.
 * Requires local authorities to review all polling stations, and to provide a report on the reviews to the Electoral Commission.
 * Provides for the making of signature and date of birth checks on postal vote applications.
 * Revises the law on "undue influence".
 * Allows observers to monitor elections (with the exception of Scottish local government elections, which are the responsibility of the Scottish Parliament).
 * Reduces the age of candidacy for public elections from 21 to 18.
 * Allows for alterations to ballot paper designs, including the introduction of barcodes and pilot schemes for the introduction of photographs on ballot papers.
 * Allows citizens of the Republic of Ireland and certain Commonwealth residents the right to stand in elections.
 * Changes rules on how elections are run in the event of the death of a candidate, following the events in South Staffordshire at the 2005 general election.
 * Provides for the entitlement of children to accompany parents and carers into polling stations.
 * Bars candidates from using in their name or description expressions such as "Don't vote for them" or "None of the above".
 * Bars candidates from standing in more than one constituency at the same election.
 * Allows political parties up to 12 separate descriptions to be used on ballot papers, and allows joint candidature.
 * Requires local authorities to promote and encourage electoral registration and voting.
 * Amongst other provisions affecting members of the armed forces and other persons with a "service qualification", allows the Secretary of State to extend the period of validity (previously one year) of a "service declaration" by which qualified persons may have their names placed on the electoral register as "service voters"; the Act also imposes new duties upon the Ministry of Defence.
 * Removes the requirement for an observer to witness the signing of the security statement of a postal vote.
 * Requires political parties to declare large loans. This provision was introduced as an amendment, surviving much parliamentary ping-pong, following the "Cash for Peerages" scandal.

Some of its provisions came into effect upon it receiving assent, with other provisions commencing on other dates.

Coordinated Online Record of Electors
The proposed Coordinated Online Record of Electors was never established, and plans for it were shelved by the coalition government in 2011. The legal framework was later repealed by the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013.

Talk:Demetris Christofias

Untitled
"Demetris Christofias studied at the Institute of Social Sciences and the Academy of Social Sciences in Moscow from 1969 to 1974 and he got the Diploma and degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History (Ph.D.History). His claims about Ph.D are widdly not accepted. No one have ever seen his thesis or his diploma and nor AKEL nor the Goverment denied that.

In 1974 he was elected to the post of the Central Organising Secretary of EDON and in 1977 of General Secretary. At this post he served till 1987."

...so can anyone tell me where i can get a PhD in zero time? the article mentions years of undergraduate study in Moscow...(69-74)...so when did he study for the doctoral?

 * Five years is a lengthy time I would think. Surely he would like to have good documents on his education after 5 years in Moscow? --Stat-ist-ikk (talk) 19:47, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

The intro
The intro is currently bad. It concentrates on his opinion on USSR and Cuba, which are outside his power to influence, and completely ignores his stance towards the reunification of the island, which is what got him elected, and is the central theme of his presidency. Zocky | picture popups 18:01, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree, I have added his stance on the reunification of the island to the lead and moved his opinion to the body. - Fedayee (talk) 21:07, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I view his opinions on Cuba as more real than the reunification issue. The continued presence of the British seems to be more paramount to his view on this world, I should easily think he became President in 1973. Although the UN is not a country, they still administrate 4 percent of the island. Turkey has 37 percent, whereas Britain only has three. No wonder the Turks had an easy going during the invasion of 1974. --Stat-ist-ikk (talk) 08:26, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

The name of Christofias
Do the correct name of Christofias isn't Demetris [dē'mētris]? Today was interview with Christofias in Euronews and he was named as Demetris Christofias in subtitles. Google gives 287 000 results for Demetris Christofias and 216 000 for Dimitris Christofias, I think the article have to be renamed. Roberts7 23:58, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

He is not an atheist .. for God sake!
He is Christian Orthodox. He is not atheist.

Can someone pls change that as I dont really know how this thing works. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kazos-cy (talk • contribs) 10:34, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, this is debatable. From time to time he had expressed an opinion about this, that he is an atheist, and on other occasions he "encouraged people to pray at Easter". He has never strongly expressed an opinion about this issue; probably to maintain unity, or because such a statement would be viewed as rather unfavorable by the general Cyprus public. Others say, that he will never openly admit that he is an atheist as long as his elderly deeply relegious mother is still alive (show wouldn't want to hurt her by saying that). <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

excuse me, but does it really matter what he is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:52, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

The source plainly states that he is a self-declared atheist, which isn't unusual for a communist party leader. Stating otherwise in the article is vandalism. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:51, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Doctoral Studies
On more than one occasion, Dimitris Christofias himself, has claimed to have received a Ph.D. (in history) as a result of his studies in the Former Soviet Union (1969-1974). This seems to be a lie. This conclusion is evidenced by: 1. He studied in Moscow from 1969 to 1974. Now, how the system worked, at least at that time, was that the first year was spent by all foreign students to learn Russian, and then go on to their normal university studies. This leaves four years of University studies, to complete a Diploma (Bachelor's) and a Doctorate. What is strange also, is that in the Russian (and Soviet) system, university degree studies were five years long. 2. A search in the Lenin Library in Moscow (where Doctoral Theses are usually archived) produced no thesis of Christofias.

I think the important fact here is not whether the article is accurate or not when it comes to his academic credentials, but rather his claim to have completed Doctoral studies.

Ferson (talk) 06:54, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Can somebody provide us with a verifiable source tha Christofia's has a doctoral diploma. According to the topic on the soviet system of education it takes 6-8 years to earn a nanuk kanditat, assuming he already spoke Russian. He did it in 5... <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:34, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

There is absolutely no evidence he has a doctorate. From his official website : http://www.christofias.com.cy/site-221-gr.php (in greek) it states : "αποφοίτησε με τον τίτλο του διδάκτορα Ιστορικών Επιστημών" translated to "graduated with the title of 'teacher' if Historical Sciences". This is not a doctorate (although similarly spelt in greek). I can find nothing remotely similar in the Russian tertiary education system; it seems to go from bachelor to master to doctorate. Perhaps some kind of post graduate diploma (less than Masters more than Bachelor)? It would be good if we could get someone with a knowledge of Russian Unis to clear this up as it's a basic fact and would go a fair bit in improving accuracy. I think the confusion could have arisen because of the similarities in the names of the degrees "didaktorato" (what he has) and "doktorato" (PHD). —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:42, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

He does not have a doctorate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ankateif (talk • contribs) 23:49, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

He is not communist in the "American" sense
He is pro-Market and that's documented. He may be self-labelled Communist in the past but also many European leaders are labelled socialist without being what most Americans think, 'the state just before becoming communist'. --Leladax (talk) 03:18, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

 * The AKEL party was the main Communist Party of Cyprus and

was communist in all the meanings, European and American. Now of course made, as many other such parties adaptive changes in his ideology and policy. In Italy there is also a communist head of state, Giorgio Napolitano, only the main Communist Party there changed its name to the Democratic Party of the Left and underwent some reforms. In fact he is the first communist head of state in the European Union- since  2006. User:Cpt.schoener (talk) 10:03, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I would like to put in a good word for the "Red Prince". Modena is essentially the epicentre of Italian autoproduction. Modena has a commie Mayor, so communists make good cars (according to Clarkson). Other than that, lets keep Napolitano out of this. --Stat-ist-ikk (talk) 08:35, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

One could ask if Senator Menendez of New Jersey has an opinion on Christofias. It could be that Senator Menendez is PC, but even he dislikes it how Christofias complains about a military presence in Northern Cyprus, but it is OK to visit Cuba, and tell Castro to (shall we say) keep up the good work. Judging him by the views of a US Senator, Christofias might want to militarise Cuba. Christofias would also appreciate that you do as he says, not as he does. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:04, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

'Blackshirt'
I can see no reference to him anywhere being referred to as 'Blackshirt'. If you wish to add this to the article, please add a reliable reference. That's how Wikipedia works. Thank you. Span (talk) 21:48, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Alfredo Valente (photographer)

Alfredo Valente (1899-1973) was an Italian born American photographer known for his prolific career chronicling Broadway theatre. He is also credited as a singer, painter, art collector, dealer, and cultural administrator.

Valente was born in Calabria, Italy where he trained as a fine artist and opera singer. In 1924, he immigrated to the United States where he performed opera in public. However, his singing career did not take off and he pivoted to focus on his photography.

In 1931, he became the photographer for the newly formed Group Theater, an experimental theater company based in New York co-founded by Lee Strasberg. By the mid-1930s, Valente was regularly published by magazines and newspapers, most notably Stage, a magazine dedicated to Broadway theater. Valente was lauded as one of the leading theater photographers of the day and his use of artistic camera angles and dramatic lighting became his signature. He also became known for portraying actors and dancers in costume, but not while performing. In addition to Broadway, Valente photographed American Ballet Theatre (then known as Ballet Theatre) during the company's formative years during the 1940s. He photographed some of Ballet Theatre's most prominent dancers, such as Harold Lang, John Kriza, Alicia Alonso, Nora Kaye, Vera Zorina, Igor Yousketvitch, Alicia Markova, Maria Tallchief, André Eglevsky, and Hugh Laing. Valente also extensively photographed the Ballet Russe de Monte-Carlo when choreographer Léonide Massine created his most famous works.

By 1937, he became the choice photographer at the New York Times. He also worked as a contract photographer for Columbia Pictures, shooting publicity images, sporadically from 1935-37.

In addition to a photographer, he was an avid collector of American art which he bought with the profits from sale of his photography. He developed close friendships with modern painters whom he considered the best of their day including Raphael Soyer, John Sloan, Thomas Hart Benton, Reginald Marsh, and Abraham Walkowitz. In 1943, he independently produced the short film "Art Discovers America" to patriotically celebrate these American artists and their contributions to the art world at large. The film was distributed by MGM and later turned into a longer form educational film titled "Grandpa Called It Art" (1944). According to his obituary, he coined the term "American Masters".

Valente died in 1973 at his home on Long Island at age 74.

Several repositories in the United States hold Valente's archival papers and photographs including The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, Archives of American Art, and The Museum of Modern Art.

After reading Parker's spirited defense of the wedding preparations, Madrigal moderated his criticism somewhat, commenting, "I can't say I agree that there is nothing extravagant about doing $4.5 million in site preparation, but I can say that at least it wasn't quite the know-nothing bigfooting that it appeared to be."

Parker had previously donated $250,000 to the Save the Redwoods League, which, according to Parker, then recommended the closed Ventana Inn and Spa campsite as an environmentally responsible wedding site. When the dispute deepened, Parker hired an attorney in a leadership role with the California League of Conservation Voters to represent him.

Mary Shallenberger, chair of the California Coastal Commission, issued a statement which criticized the Ventana Inn and Spa for having closed a mandated public campground in 2007, and said, in part, "I thank Mr. Parker for having his wedding there, so we discovered all the violations and the six years where the public has not had access," Under heavy criticism in advance of his wedding, Parker had agreed to indemnify the Ventana Inn for any penalties imposed by government agencies.

When the multi-million dollar settlement was announced, the enforcement chief for the California Coastal Commission commented that "The environmental damage from the wedding-related construction work was less serious than we had originally feared, in part due to the fact that the large majority of the development was performed on a campground and existing road, not in a virgin forest."

I headed the research program Ambient Heat, Waste Heat, Combined Heat and Power of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) from 1993 to 2002 and subsequently carried out numerous scientific expert reports for this Federal Office. From 1994 to 2002 I was the Swiss delegate in the executive committee of the IEA Technology Collaboration Programme on Heat Pumping Technologies. I have no commercial interests in heat pump technology.

As part of a mandate, the Federal Office of Energy commissioned me to compile a comprehensive history of the development of the heat pump. In addition to several papers, this led to the books Geschichte der Wärmepumpe (out of print) and History of Heat Pumps as an English translation. Both are downloadable from https://www.aramis.admin.ch/Texte/?ProjectID=45262

The previous text in chapter "Heat pump", Section 2 "History" is unsatisfactory. Containing imprecise and partly false statements it does not meet scientific requirements. However I added two new statements on 2021-11-20. But the whole text should be rewritten.

D-Day at Omaha Beach

I find this photo of troops departing from a landing craft onto Omaha Beach on D-Day absolutely amazing. Large size though there's a bit of damage -- could probably be touched up easily. Amazing from a historical persepetive though.

 * Nominate and support. - chowells 23:25, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * - That's pretty frightening, in fact. I'm impressed with it.. touching up would be a good idea.   drumguy 8800  - speak? 02:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Support I disagree with touching it up though, becuase it might remove some of the original information in the pic. There might be another version of this somewherewithout the folds and scratches.  - Ravedave 02:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. There's another version that Commons links to that I've posted to the right. It's missing the crease, but it's just a little too dark for my taste. — Rebelguys2 talk 05:02, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Support the first image. The 2nd image is much too dark. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 06:10, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Not to rain on this parade, but version 3 here is already a featured picture, and depicts the same scene from the same angle. TomStar81 08:11, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I suppose this FPC is moot then? - Mailer Diablo 13:30, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Ergh, OK. So we have the same image twice. The one which is currently FPC is much smaller resolution than this new nomination. I'd therefore suggest replacing the current FPC with this one and close the vote (if that's possible). chowells 14:08, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * This vote is closed! The result was: upload new nom over current FP ~ Veledan • Talk 20:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
