title: Neutral and Non-Aligned European States

abstract: Neutral and Non-Aligned European States, sometimes known by abbreviation NN states, was a Cold War era informal grouping of states in Europe which were neither part of NATO nor Warsaw Pact but were either neutral or members of the Non-Aligned Movement. The group brought together neutral countries of Austria, Finland, Sweden and Switzerland on one, and non-aligned SFR Yugoslavia, Cyprus and Malta on the other hand, all of which together shared interest in preservation of their independent non-bloc position with regard to NATO, European Community, Warsaw Pact and the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance. Established and comparatively highly developed European neutral countries perceived cooperation with non-aligned countries as a way to advocate for peace, disarmament and superpowers' restraint more forcefully than their limited earlier cooperation would permit. The group cooperated within the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe (CSCE) in trying to preserve the results of the Helsinki Accords. In this framework, Yugoslavia cooperated with Austria and Finland on mediation between blocs, organized a second CSCE summit in 1977 in Belgrade and proposed drafts on national minorities protection which are still valid and integral parts of OSCE provisions on minority rights.

# Never Grow Up

"**Never Grow Up**" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her third studio album, *Speak Now* (2010). She wrote the track inspired by her own feelings about childhood and growing up and handled the production with Nathan Chapman. An acoustic guitar-led ballad, "Never Grow Up" deals with Swift's reflection and contemplation on her childhood. Critics interpreted the lyrics as a message to younger fans and girls about childhood and growing up.

In reviews of *Speak Now*, many critics found the song emotional and praised Swift's songwriting. They have retrospectively remained positive of the track and listed it in their rankings of her discography. Commercially, "Never Grow Up" reached the US *Billboard* Hot 100 and Country Digital Song Sales charts, with respective peaks of number 84 and number 12. It received certifications in the United States and Australia. Swift performed the track outside the set lists on five of her concert tours. Following a 2019 dispute regarding the ownership of Swift's back catalog, she re-recorded the song as "**Never Grow Up (Taylor's Version)**" for the 2023 re-recorded album, *Speak Now (Taylor's Version)*.

## Background and composition

Taylor Swift wrote her third studio album *Speak Now* (2010) entirely by herself and co-produced it with Nathan Chapman. She included all of the emotions she felt in the last two years on the album and conceived it as a collection of songs about the things she had wanted to but was unable to do with the people she had met in her life. One such song is "Never Grow Up", which Swift wrote for her younger self inspired by the nostalgia of her own childhood and the uncertainty of growing up. It is a ballad led by an acoustic guitar (played by Chapman), lasting about four minutes and fifty seconds. Swift's vocals on the song are breathy, and she is accompanied by a background male vocalist. Critics deemed "Never Grow Up" one of *Speak Now*'s most country-leaning tracks and the closest to Swift's previous works, with some believing that it could have been for her 2006 self-titled studio album. *Rolling Stone*'s writer Rob Sheffield viewed the song as a "folksy fingerpicking change of pace" on *Speak Now*.

Based on confessional songwriting, the lyrics of "Never Grow Up" address Swift's reflection on her childhood. In the first verse, she takes on the perspective of a mother talking to a baby: "Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming / So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light". Swift asks the baby to "never grow up" to keep up with their bond in the future. The next verse sees Swift observing a teenager convincing her mother to drop her off near a movie theater because she deems that it is not cool to see her at her age being dropped off by her parents. In the last verse, the perspective shifts to Swift herself, contemplating her childhood ("Wish I'd never grown up") and longingly looks back on it ("I could still be little"). She wants to remember all the memories ("Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room") but at the same time they are fading ("I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone").

Critics analyzed the lyrics as a message to younger girls and fans. In *NME*, Hannah Mylrea deemed it "Swift dealing out her best life advice for younger fans in particular". Sam Sodomsky of *Pitchfork* opined that she "\[sounds\] far older than her years as she urges girls younger than her to savor every moment" in their lives. Kate Atkinson from *Billboard* said that the song has a "universal" message of "trying to hold on to your own innocence and/or shielding the innocent ones around you". Matt Bjorke of *Roughstock* thought it was "written to a younger girl reminding her to cherish the moments" of her childhood as she grows fast and will "never \[be\] able to reclaim that carefree fantastic time of your life". For *American Songwriter*, Jacob Uitti believed that Swift was reaching out to her audience, particularly girls: "Sometimes we want to stay the same age, sometimes we want to be older. But no matter what we want, life happens."

## Release and live performances

"Never Grow Up" was included as the eight track on *Speak Now*, which was released on October 25, 2010, by Big Machine Records. In the United States, it peaked at number 84 on the *Billboard* Hot 100 and number 12 on the Country Digital Song Sales chart. On July 13, 2015, the song received a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling 500,000 units in the US. In January 2024, it was certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for reaching 70,000 units in Australia.

After *Speak Now*'s release, Swift performed "Never Grow Up" at selected locations of the album's associated world tour in 2011. These include Lexington, Houston, and Raleigh, all of which are where she performed an acoustic rendition of the song. In 2013, Swift sang the track with a guitar during a Washington show of her Red Tour. On the August 15, 2015, show at Santa Clara of her 1989 World Tour, she performed "Never Grow Up" in dedication to her godson and the second child of the actress Jaime King. On her Reputation Stadium Tour (2018) and Eras Tour (2023–24), Swift sang it as a "surprise song"—a segment where she performs random songs from her discography—in Philadelphia and Kansas City, respectively.

## Critical reception

Initial reviews of "Never Grow Up" found the song vulnerable and praised Swift's songwriting. Chris Willman of *Our Country* described it as a "sweet lullabye with an undercurrent of sadness or even wary adult bitterness". Alex Macpherson from *The Guardian* believed that it was where Swift was at her most brave on the album and considered her singing to herself "devastating and genuinely uncomfortable". Sam Gnerre of the *Los Angeles Daily News* viewed the song as an "excellent ballad" and "a surprisingly prescient lullaby". Rick Moore from *American Songwriter* said that the "great opening lines and use of imagery" could see Swift start writing tracks without romance in them and become a "truly accomplished writer". Melinda Newman of HitFix wrote that the song was spare and lovely.

A few critics drew comparisons to other songs. The *Los Angeles Times*' writer Ann Powers likened it to Brad Paisley's "Letter to Me" (2007) conceptually but thought both songs had different takes on their theme. She also viewed the track as Swift's "most revealing" song to date. John J. Moser of *The Morning Call* considered "Never Grow Up" to have the opposite concept of her song "The Best Day" (2008) and one of the best tracks on the album where "Swift actually changes it up". Leah Greenblatt from Entertainment Weekly regarded the song as a "fragile lullaby" and the "soft-focus" reversal of Harry Chapin's track "Cat's in the Cradle" (1974). Other critics focused on other aspects of the song. Dave Heaton from *PopMatters* said that "Never Grow Up" had country radio potential and thought it showcased Swift's potential capability of "taking common country-radio templates and perfecting them". George Lang of *The Oklahoman* believed it was one of the tracks that prevented the album from becoming a "tabloid marathon". Matthew Horton of BBC Music regarded it as a "sunburst pop \[nugget\] that would brighten any daytime radio playlist".

Retrospective reviews of "Never Grow Up" remained positive. Atkinson and Sodomsky thought it was wistful and tender. The musicologist James E. Perone viewed "Never Grow Up" as a standout on the album and attributed it to the theme of childhood, which he lauded Swift's sentiments about it and how it complements with the composition. He also said that the song represented her growth as a songwriter, believing that she would explore more themes other than her autobiographical songwriting. James Rettig from *Stereogum* considered it one of the "most heart-wrenching" tracks from Swift's discography. Carena Liptak of *Taste of Country* and Martin Chilton of *UDiscoverMusic* considered the song highly introspective and praised the emotionalism that was displayed. Finley Liu from *Young Post* considered the song one of the album's underrated tracks.

"Never Grow Up" was included in the rankings of Swift's discography by Jane Song and a staff of *Paste* (at 56), Nate Jones of *Vulture* (92), Mylrea (106), and Sheffield (216). For Jones, the song was an example of her better writing with childhood than with old age, and he believed that the concept of children was well-written to the point "you'd swear she was secretly a 39-year-old mom". Song alongside Uitti wrote that it would make you emotional. The song was also featured in the rankings of 100 selected tracks from Swift by the editorial staff of *Billboard* and Roisin O'Connor of *The Independent*. Andrew Unterberger of the former considered the song a "sort of childhood trilogy closer" after "Mary's Song (Oh My My My)" (2006) and "The Best Day" and thought it was given "unexpected gravity" in the end, while O'Connor believed that the "tender acoustic picking" complemented by the vocals made the song soothing.

Swift departed from Big Machine and signed a new contract with Republic Records in 2018. She began re-recording her first six studio albums in November 2020. The decision followed a 2019 dispute between Swift and the talent manager Scooter Braun, who acquired Big Machine Records, over the masters of Swift's albums that the label had released. By re-recording the albums, Swift had full ownership of the new masters, which enabled her to encourage licensing of her re-recorded songs for commercial use in hopes of substituting the Big Machine-owned masters. She denoted the re-recordings with a "Taylor's Version" subtitle.

The re-recording of "Never Grow Up" is titled "Never Grow Up (Taylor's Version)" and was included on *Speak Now (Taylor's Version)*, the re-recording of *Speak Now*, which was released on July 7, 2023. It contains two more seconds than the original. The re-recording peaked at number 71 on the *Billboard* Global 200 and reached the countries of the Philippines (15) and Canada (59). In the United States, it debuted and peaked at number 58 on the *Billboard* Hot 100 and number 27 on Hot Country Songs.

### Critical reception

Alex Hopper of *American Songwriter*, Mike DeWald of *Riff Magazine*, and Mark Sutherland of *Rolling Stone UK* found the song vulnerable and believed that it was further heightened by Swift being an adult. Some discussed the production and her performance. DeWald said that the song sounds "like a track straight out" of Swift's album *Folklore* (2020), and where her vocal growth is particularly evident. Poppie Platt of *The Telegraph* stated that although her singing may seem jarring at first, her "grasp on tone and melody has much improved since her \[early\] days" that it is still effective. Kate Solomon from the  wrote that the song would only be "annoying and cliched" but she believed that it was still faithful to the original.

Other critics interpreted the lyrics with the new context of Swift's growth. Chris Richards of *The Washington Post* viewed the re-recorded track as "reinhabiting her 20-year-old psyche as she sings to both her past and future selves" and believed that the "titular refrain" brought "a sort of nostalgic claustrophobia". Vrinda Jagota from *Pitchfork* thought that towards the end the song "reveals itself as a means of mourning her past self" and promises that no one will ever leave or harm Swift.

title: Net reclassification improvement

abstract: Net reclassification improvement (NRI) is an index that attempts to quantify how well a new model reclassifies subjects - either appropriately or inappropriately - as compared to an old model. While c-statistics or AUC has been the standard metric for quantifying improvements over the last few decades, several studies have analyzed the limitations of this metric including lack of clinical relevance and difficulty in interpretation of small magnitude changes. This limitation can be best seen in the example of HDL and Framingham Risk Score (FRS). When models, with and without HDL, were analyzed with AUC regarding effect of HDL of modifying FRS, HDL was found not to have a statistical significant effect. However, when analyzed in terms of outcomes, HDL was found to be a significant predictor of heart disease and thus should affect FRS. To overcome this limitation the concept of reclassification, that is how well a new model correctly reclassifies cases, was introduced through the metric of NRI.

# Net reclassification improvement

**Net reclassification improvement** (NRI) is an index that attempts to quantify how well a new model reclassifies subjects - either appropriately or inappropriately - as compared to an old model. While c-statistics or AUC has been the standard metric for quantifying improvements over the last few decades, several studies have analyzed the limitations of this metric including lack of clinical relevance and difficulty in interpretation of small magnitude changes. This limitation can be best seen in the example of HDL and Framingham Risk Score (FRS). When models, with and without HDL, were analyzed with AUC regarding effect of HDL of modifying FRS, HDL was found not to have a statistical significant effect. However, when analyzed in terms of outcomes, HDL was found to be a significant predictor of heart disease and thus should affect FRS. To overcome this limitation the concept of reclassification, that is how well a new model correctly reclassifies cases, was introduced through the metric of NRI.

## Basic Concept

NRI attempts to quantify how well a new model correctly reclassifies subjects. Typically this comparison is between an original model (e.g. hip fractures as a function age and sex) and a new model which is the original model plus one additional component (e.g. hip fractures as a function of age, sex, and a genetic or proteomic biomarker). NRI is composed of two components, subjects without events and subjects with events. Subject without events who are correctly reclassified lower risk are assigned a +1, as are subjects with an event who are correctly reclassified higher risk. Subjects without events who are incorrectly classified as higher risk are assigned a -1, as are subjects with events who are assigned a lower risk. Subjects not reassigned (i.e., those who remain in the same risk category) are assigned a 0. Sum the scores in each group and divide by the number of subjects in that group. The sum of these two values is the NRI.

## Example

NRI example table
| Event | | Test 1 | | Total, split | Total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Non-event | | | | Abnormal | Normal |
| Test 2 | Abnormal | **18** | 4 | 22 | 28 |
| | 2 | 4 | 6 | |
| | Normal | 2 | 6 | 8 | 72 |
| | 8 | **56** | 64 | |
| Total, split | | 20 | 10 | 30 |  |
| | 10 | 60 | 70 ||
| Total | | 30 | 70 |  | 100 |

In a perfect test, all subjects with events would be classified as abnormal and all subjects without events would be classified as normal. Bold indicates subjects correctly classified by both tests. White indicates subjects incorrectly classified by both tests. Green indicates subjects correctly reclassified by test 2. Red indicates subjects incorrectly reclassified by test 2. NRIe = (4-2)/30 = 0.067. NRIne = (8-4)/70 = 0.057. NRI is the sum which is approximately 0.12.

## Continuous Net Reclassification Improvement

Continuous net reclassification improvement is a category-less and more objective form of net reclassification improvement. Furthermore, continuous NRI is less affected by event rates.

## Disconfirmation

NRI has been demonstrated to be invalid. Specifically, the NRI is likely to be positive even for uninformative markers. This is not the case for other metrics such as area-under-the-curve, Brier score or net benefit.

text:
# New Democrats (Victoria)

The **New Democrats** (**ND**), also known as the **New Democrats Party** (**NDP**), is an Australian political party founded in 2022 by then-Victorian MLC Kaushaliya Vaghela.

## History

### Background

On 9 February 2022, Vaghela (then a member of the Labor Party) crossed the floor in support of Adem Somyurek's motion to refer the Andrews government to the Victorian Ombudsman in relation to the alleged misuse of taxpayer funds, involving the diversion of parliamentary staffing resources to political campaigning and party factional activities prior to the 2014 Victorian state election.

In March 2022, Vaghela resigned from Labor to sit as an independent, making serious allegations of bullying against the party. Her criticisms were aired after she had been left off the Labor ticket for the 2022 state election, following an investigation by the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC) into the conduct of her husband, Dinesh Chauhan, and staff members.

### Formation and 2022 election

On 11 August 2022, Vaghela formed the New Democrats and applied for registration with the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC). The party was registered on 6 October 2022, 51 days before the state election.

At the election, Vaghela was unsuccessful in her bid to be re-elected to the Western Metropolitan Region, receiving 0.55% of the vote. The party received a total statewide vote of 0.13% in the Legislative Assembly and 0.21% in the Legislative Council (the lowest statewide total for any registered party in the Legislative Council).

# İsmet Sezgin

**İsmet Sezgin** (6 January 1928 – 7 December 2016) was a Turkish politician who served as the Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey and Minister of National Defense from 1997 to 1999, as the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly in 1995, as the Minister of the Interior from 1991 to 1993, as the Minister of Finance from 1979 to 1980 and as the Minister of Youth and Sports from 1969 to 1971. Between 1999 and 2002, he served as the Leader of the Democrat Turkey Party, but did not contest any elections.

With a history in the Turkish political right, Sezgin had actively participated in the historical Democrat Party led by Adnan Menderes until the 1960 coup d'état. Entering Parliament as a Member of Parliament for Aydın in the 1961 general election, he served continuously as an MP until the 1980 coup d'état, after which he was re-elected in the 1991 general election. He lost his seat in the 1999 general election and retired from active politics in 2002. He was also active in sport, having served as the 15th Chairman of Gençlerbirliği S.K. between 1967 and 1968.

## Early life and career

İsmet Sezgin was born in 1928, in Aydın as the eldest of 9 children. He completed his primary and secondary education in Aydın and graduated from high school in İzmir. He received higher education at the High Economy and Trade School (now Dokuz Eylül University). During his student years, he was involved in athletics.

After graduating from the High Economy and Trade School in 1950, he immediately began working at the Turkey Real Estate Credit Bank (now Ziraat Bankası) Denizli branch. He married Saadet Sezgin, a mathematics teacher in 1952 and was also elected to the Democrat Party Denizli Provincial Administration Board in the same year.

## Political career

### Mayor of Aydın

Sezgin was elected as the Mayor of Aydın in the 1955 local elections from the Democrat Party. He was removed from office as a result of the 1960 coup d'état, during which the Democrat Party government led by Adnan Menderes was ousted from power. As a member of the Democrats, Sezgin was briefly arrested after being removed from office.

### Justice Party

After being freed, Sezgin established the provincial office of the new Justice Party (AP), which was seen as the successor to the Democrat Party. In the 1961 general election, he was elected as an AP Member of Parliament for Aydın. In 1963, he became the President of the Turkish Municipal Association, serving until 1985. In 1967, he became the Chairman of Gençlerbirliği S.K. and served until 1968. In 1968, he was made a Deputy Leader of the Justice Party.

### Minister of Youth and Sports

After the Justice Party won a parliamentary majority in the 1969 general election, Justice Party leader and Prime Minister Süleyman Demirel established the Ministry of Youth and Sports and appointed İsmet Sezgin as Turkey's first Minister of Youth and Sports in his government. Although Demirel briefly resigned after his party MPs rebelled against the government's budget proposals, Sezgin continued as Youth and Sports Minister in the 32nd government of Turkey, which was also formed by Demirel. Sezgin was removed from office, as was the rest of the government, following the 1971 Turkish coup d'état.

### Minister of Finance

Although the Republican People's Party (CHP) was the largest party in Parliament, a poor performance in by-election resulted in the CHP government resigning. Süleyman Demirel was once again tasked with the formation of a new government and eventually formed the 43rd government of Turkey with outside support from the Islamist National Salvation Party (MSP). The government was formed entirely by Justice Party MPs, with Sezgin becoming the Minister of Finance. Due to the parliamentary deadlock resulting from a failed attempt to elect a new President in 1980, the government was ousted from power by the 1980 Turkish coup d'état led by General Kenan Evren. Parliament was abolished and Sezgin was banned, along with many other politicians, from running for political office.

### Minister of the Interior

With his political ban lifted as a result of the 1987 constitutional referendum, Sezgin returned to Parliament as an MP from Aydın in the 1991 general election, this time from the True Path Party (DYP). The DYP had also been formed by Demirel after having his political ban lifted and was seen as a successor to the disbanded Justice Party. Having secured a plurality in the 1991 election, the DYP formed a coalition government with the Social Democratic Populist Party led by Erdal İnönü. In this government, Sezgin was appointed Minister of the Interior.

### Speaker of the Parliament

After President Turgut Özal's death in 1993, Demirel was subsequently elected as the 9th President of Turkey in the 1993 presidential election. In the subsequent leadership election, Sezgin put his name forward as a candidate but withdrew in the second round of the election. After Tansu Çiller was elected as the leader of the DYP, Sezgin resigned as Interior Minister.

In 1995, he was elected as the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly, succeeding Hüsamettin Cindoruk. He served in this position until the 1995 general election, in which the DYP lost 43 seats.

### Minister of National Defense and Deputy Prime Minister

After the DYP formed a coalition government with the Islamist Welfare Party (RP) in 1996, Sezgin resigned from the DYP in protest and was one of the founding members of the new Democrat Turkey Party (DTP). The 'Refahyol' government (DYP-RP coalition) collapsed in 1997 after a military memorandum. Motherland Party (ANAP) leader Mesut Yılmaz was tasked with forming a new government and managed to form a minority triple-party coalition between ANAP, the DTP and the Democratic Left Party (DSP). The DTP leader Hüsamettin Cindoruk did not participate in the government, so Sezgin became Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey as the most senior DTP representative in the coalition government, serving alongside the DSP leader Bülent Ecevit. Sezgin concurrently served as the Minister of National Defense. The government collapsed following the Türkbank scandal, after which the Republican People's Party (CHP) decided to end its outside support for the government.

### Leader of the DTP

In the 1999 general election, the DTP won just 0.58% of the vote, falling far below the 10% election threshold necessary to win parliamentary representation. Sezgin, as well as all other DTP MPs, lost their seats in Parliament. As a result, Hüsamettin Cindoruk resigned as party leader. Sezgin was subsequently elected as the DTP leader in place of Cindoruk, but resigned in May 2002 without contesting any elections as party leader. He announced that he was retiring from active politics. The DTP contested the 2002 general election under an electoral alliance with the DYP, but the two parties combined still failed to pass the 10% boundary.

## Personal life

İsmet Sezgin married mathematics teacher Saadet (Sezgin) in 1952; she died in 2004. They had two daughters, Seynan Levent and Ayşe. Sezgin died of multiple organ failure on 7 December 2016, aged 88.

## Legacy and recognition

In the Bornova district of İzmir, there is a primary school named after Sezgin.

title: New Fort York

abstract: New Fort York, later the Stanley Barracks, is a former British and Canadian military base in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located on the Lake Ontario shoreline. It was built in 1840–1841 to replace Toronto's original Fort York at the mouth of Garrison Creek as the primary military base for the settlement. Unlike the older fort, many of the new fort buildings were made with limestone instead of wood. A protective wall was planned for the new fort but was never built. The fort was used by the British army until 1870, and the Canadian military subsequently used the fort to train troops for the Second Boer War, World War I and World War II. It also trained one of the first regiments of the North-West Mounted Police. The Canadian military stopped using it after World War II and the fort was demolished in the 1950s. Only the Officers' Quarters building remains on the site.

# New Fort York

**New Fort York**, later the **Stanley Barracks**, is a former British and Canadian military base in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located on the Lake Ontario shoreline. It was built in 1840–1841 to replace Toronto's original Fort York at the mouth of Garrison Creek as the primary military base for the settlement. Unlike the older fort, many of the new fort buildings were made with limestone instead of wood. A protective wall was planned for the new fort but was never built. The fort was used by the British army until 1870, and the Canadian military subsequently used the fort to train troops for the Second Boer War, World War I and World War II. It also trained one of the first regiments of the North-West Mounted Police. The Canadian military stopped using it after World War II and the fort was demolished in the 1950s. Only the Officers' Quarters building remains on the site.

## History

### British era

When the British set up the military defences of York, Upper Canada, a military reservation was created by Lieutenant-Governor Simcoe, roughly bordered by today's Dufferin Street, Queen Street, Peter Street and the lakeshore. Two 18-pounder guns were placed on the lakeshore just to the east of the future fort site, known as the **Western Battery**, to protect the approach to the harbour. Guns were also placed on the western shoreline of the Toronto Islands. The Western Battery guns were destroyed in the War of 1812's Battle of York in 1813.

As the old Fort York's wood buildings aged, it was determined that new accommodations were needed. In addition, private buildings were being rented in the town to accommodate soldiers. To finance the new fort, Lieutenant Governor Colborne approved the sale of some of the military reserve lands in 1833. It was not until after the 1837 rebellion that action was taken to start construction. Approval was given in 1839 by Lieutenant-Governor Bond Head to build a new fort to accommodate 300 soldiers, based on an 1833 plan drawn up by Lieutenant-Colonel Gustavus Nicolls.

A series of six stone buildings were constructed around 1840 by the Royal Engineers of the British Army with the biggest building being the Officers' Quarters. The two-storey Queenston limestone structure cost 19,000 pounds sterling. The fort also included two privates' barracks (holding 207 and 105 soldiers), a hospital, an officers' stable, barracks master's store, an engine house, gunpowder magazine and a canteen, all organized around a parade square. The original plan included fortifications surrounding the fort but as a cost-saving measure a cedar picket fence to enclose the fort was constructed, with fortifications to be added at some later time. A road was built between the forts, entering the new fort through a wrought-iron gate and passing under an arch in the eastern privates' barracks.

Although living conditions were considered good for the time, conditions during the winter were considered very cold, and keeping water from freezing was difficult. During the 1850s, the number of British troops at the fort was reduced, having been deployed in the Crimean War. Numbers rose again in the 1860s during the United States Civil War. In the 1860s, the space at the new fort was insufficient and The 13th Hussars were quartered in the nearby Crystal Palace exhibition building.

### Transfer to Canada

In 1867, three of the British colonies, including the Province of Canada, united to form the new country of Canada. In 1870, the British Army withdrew from the Fort, with the property turned over to the Canadian Militia, the official turnover happening in 1871. The fort became mostly vacant, used only by a few military families for living quarters and the Ontario Rifle Association for training and exhibitions. In 1874, the new North-West Mounted Police used the fort to train a group of recruits for deployment in Manitoba.

In 1883, the Government of Canada established the first permanent force of the military and a new military purpose for the fort was established. After some repairs, the fort reopened in 1884 as an infantry school and base for the Regiment of Canadian Artillery, Company C, later named The Royal Canadian Regiment (RCR). The Company would see its first action the following year in the North-West Rebellion.

The rifle ranges of the fort led to incidents with passing boats and pedestrians. Bullets would occasionally hit boats if they strayed too close and two persons were struck by bullets in 1887. The Canadian military purchased land for a new rifle range in 1889 just west of Etobicoke Creek in Toronto Township (Lakeview, Mississauga), just west of Long Branch.

In 1893, The Royal Canadian Dragoons were transferred to the fort. That same year the fort was renamed Stanley Barracks after Lord Stanley of Preston, the retired Governor-General of Canada. Lord Stanley is also famous for donating hockey's Stanley Cup. In 1894, the Dragoons performed their first Dragoon Musical Ride described as "drill pattern formation riding to music at three and a half paces." The Musical Ride would be performed for many years by the Dragoons until they became an armoured regiment in 1940. It was a popular feature of the CNE Grandstand show.

Later in the 1890s, troops of the Dragoons and the RCR from the fort helped to police the Yukon Gold Rush. Troops of the Dragoons and RCR also joined British forces fighting in South Africa in the Second Boer War. The better pay offered to soldiers to fight in South Africa also led to desertions. In 1901, 46 men of the Dragoons and RCR deserted.

### Transfer to City of Toronto

In 1878, the Provincial Agricultural Fair of Canada West was held on the reserve. The next year, the annual Toronto Industrial Exhibition, later to become the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), was held on the site under a lease by the City of Toronto. As the CNE grew in size every year, the City of Toronto sought to take more and more of the Military Reserve. The end of the New Fort and the Military Reserve began in 1903 when the Government of Canada and the City of Toronto entered into an agreement to transfer the lands of the Old Fort, the New Fort and Fort's graveyard to City of Toronto ownership. The City promised to preserve the Old Fort and the graveyard and to allow all military activities on the property to continue until replacement facilities were built.

During World War I, fort activities expanded to the CNE buildings, which were used for winter quarters, (summer quarters were at Long Branch) although the CNE continued. The barracks were used as a receiving station for the internment of German, Austro-Hungarian, and Turkish citizens, considered "enemy aliens". From 1914 until October 1916, up to 90 men at one time were interned in the west privates' barracks before being transferred to other facilities. Before the war was over, many were pardoned and released upon the signing of pledges of loyalty to the laws of Canada and to report regularly to police stations. Ukrainians, then subjects of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, were held in the barracks. In 1998, the Ukrainian community of Toronto erected a plaque at the Officers' Quarters to memorialize the internment.

In the 1920s, the continued expansion of the CNE meant further encroachment on the Fort grounds. The CNE asked the City of Toronto to give notice for the military to vacate. The new Princes' Boulevard necessitated the demolition of some of the Barracks' buildings, including some stables and the riding school. Room for horses was offered in the buildings used for livestock. A compromise was made and new stables were built and the military offered the use of the Coliseum and Livestock arenas.

During World War II, the fort and many of the nearby exhibition buildings were again used by Canadian troops prior to being sent overseas. The Coliseum was used by the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Royal Canadian Artillery used the Dominion Government Building, while the Horse Palace housed the 48th Highlanders, Toronto Scottish, Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps and the B Company of the Royal Canadian Regiment. Other buildings used included the General Exhibits Building, the Graphic Arts Building and the Horticultural Building. The dressing room of the Grandstand was used for anti-gas instruction. The annual CNE went on as scheduled with emphasis on the war effort in Canada as well as Britain, in 1939, 1940 and 1941. Several of the buildings used by the military were open to the public during the Ex. The CNE was not held during 1942–1945. The CNE Camp was used as a demobilization centre for returning troops at the end of the war before closing on June 1, 1946.

After World War II, the military withdrew from Stanley Barracks to the military installation at Long Branch. The Royal Canadian Dragoons had already relocated in 1941 to Camp Borden. The CNE announced a plan to demolish the fort and build a new civic auditorium. However, these plans went on hold, as Toronto was experiencing a housing shortage emergency. The Government of Canada contributed 50% of the cost to convert the buildings (there were 31 at the time) for emergency civilian housing. The military retained its detention facility temporarily. Considered to be in extremely poor condition, the housing began closing down in 1950 and was evacuated by 1951. Demolition of the wooden buildings began in 1951 while families were still living in the barracks.

By September 1951, only the four stone buildings remained: the officers' quarters, the hospital building and the two soldiers' barracks. Community support developed to preserve the Barracks to operate as a museum. Governor-General Vincent Massey advocated to retain the stone buildings. Three of the last four buildings were demolished in 1953 to provide parking for the CNE. The final building remained in limbo. The CNE Association planned to demolish the building for more parking. In 1957, it was saved from demolition by Toronto City Council on the advice of the Toronto Civic Historical Committee.

The gates to the barracks (gate doors forged in England in 1839) were salvaged in 1957 by the owners of the Guild Inn in Scarborough. The gates were re-erected in Toronto on Kingston Road at Guildwood Parkway, at the entrance to Guildwood Village, where they may still be viewed. Lights replaced the stone globes on the top of the gate posts.

The Archaeological and Historic Sites Board of Ontario erected a plaque commemorating the fort on November 11, 1963, near the former Officers' Quarters. The ceremony was attended by the 29th Field Regiment, the 42nd Medium Regiment and the 1st Artillery Locating Regiment of the Royal Canadian Artillery, and the Toronto Garrison Artillery Band. Dignitaries included Lt-General G. G. Simmonds, former chief of the General Canadian Staff, Professor J. M. Careless of the Ontario Historical Sites Board, Col. R. S. Timmons, former commander of The Royal Canadian Dragoons and Maj. W. J. Lennox the artillery chaplain. Timmons, commander of the garrison for 5 1/2 years, unveiled the plaque.

In 2004, plans were developed to build a hotel and conference centre on the fort site, north of the Quarters. A letter of intent was signed by the owner of the Windsor Arms Hotel. A required archaeological dig found the foundations of the stone buildings. The City of Toronto decided not to build on the fort site. Instead, the Automotive Building to the east was converted to a conference centre, the hotel was moved to the east of the fort site and the foundations were to be preserved. The new Hotel X Toronto project adjacent to the site has revealed the barracks' foundations. An entrance pavilion to the hotel is a steel lattice structure that approximates the shape of the enlisted men's barracks. Within, the uncovered foundations are visible through a glass floor. The parade ground has become a landscaped plaza.

Regiments from the British Army and the Canadian militia that were garrisoned at the fort include:

## Officers' Quarters

The two-storey Officers' Quarters is designed in the Georgian style with influences of English Palladianism. It rises two storeys, with full basement and attic, on a foundation of Kingston limestone, its thick walls built with Queenston limestone with a surrounding dry moat. Its original roof was covered with slate tiles but was recovered with metal. Its north face was designed to be the front, facing the parade ground. The south face is identical to the north face. The building was organized to give two-thirds to the officers and one-third to the Barracks' Master.

Since 1955, the Officers' Quarters building has served as the home for various museums, including Canada's Sports Hall of Fame, the Hockey Hall of Fame and the Marine Museum. From 1955 to 1957, Canada's Sports Hall of Fame and in 1957, the Hockey Hall of Fame shared space at the Quarters. The Officers' Quarters housed the Marine Museum from 1959 to 1998 until it moved to Harbourfront. The museum has since closed. Vacant since 1998, the Officers' Quarters was opened for one weekend in May 2006 during Doors Open Toronto.

While the building was home to the Marine Museum, the grounds housed two items from Toronto history. The tugboat Ned Hanlan was on display until 2012 on the west side of the building. Canadian National locomotive No. 6213 was located on the east side from 1960 until 2009.

In 1999, Toronto City Council designated the Quarters as a Landmark Heritage Property under the *Ontario Heritage Act.* In 2009, City Council approved the development of a hotel on the property, just to the east of the fort's site. To the north of the Officers' Quarters, the former parking lot is now a plaza. To the south of the Officers' Quarters is a garden used for outdoor events. The former shoreline of Lake Ontario is outlined on the paving of a pathway along the Quarters. The exterior of the building is being restored, while the use for the building remains undetermined.

According to author Richard Palmisano, the Officers' Quarters has two ghosts: a little girl hunting for her cat, and the girl's father. The building has been on a walking tour for ghosts on the Exhibition grounds.

# New Meadowbank

**New Meadowbank** was an athletics and football ground in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was the home ground of Leith Athletic during the 1946–47 season. The site was later used to build the modern Meadowbank Stadium.

## History

The ground was opened in 1934 by Edinburgh Corporation. It had no covered spectator facilities.

### Athletics

New Meadowbank was used for athletics, and hosted international meetings. It hosted the first post-World War II athletics meet between England, Scotland and Ireland in 1946, and another meet in 1947. It also hosted the annual Scottish Amateur Athletics championship from 1952 until 1966.

### Football

Prior to World War II Leith played at Meadowbank. However, the ground was taken over by the British Army during the war and used as a transport depot; this destroyed the stadium, and in 1946 Leith began rebuilding it. As the Scottish Football League resumed in 1946, Leith were forced to play their home matches at the neighbouring New Meadowbank during the 1946–47 season.

The original Meadowbank, now renamed Old Meadowbank was reopened at the start of the 1947–48 season, and Leith returned to their previous home.

title: Neufchâtel cheese

abstract: Neufchâtel is a soft, slightly crumbly, mold-ripened, bloomy-rind cheese made in the Neufchâtel-en-Bray region of Normandy. One of the oldest kinds of cheese in France, its production is believed to date back as far as the 6th century AD, in the Kingdom of the Franks. It looks similar to Camembert and Brie, with a dry, white, edible rind, but the taste is saltier and sharper. Unlike other soft-white-rinded cheeses, Neufchâtel has a grainy texture. It is usually sold in heart shapes but is also produced in other forms, such as logs and boxes. It is typically matured for 8–10 weeks and weighs around 100–600 g (3.5–21.2 oz). This AOC product should not be confused with the American version of the cheese, which is a factory manufactured lower fat, higher moisture content, unaged alternative to American cream cheese.

# Neufchâtel cheese

**Neufchâtel** (French: \[nøʃɑtɛl\] , \[nœfʃɑtɛl\]; Norman: *Neu(f)câtel*) is a soft, slightly crumbly, mold-ripened, bloomy-rind cheese made in the Neufchâtel-en-Bray region of Normandy. One of the oldest kinds of cheese in France, its production is believed to date back as far as the 6th century AD, in the Kingdom of the Franks. It looks similar to Camembert and Brie, with a dry, white, edible rind, but the taste is saltier and sharper. Unlike other soft-white-rinded cheeses, Neufchâtel has a grainy texture. It is usually sold in heart shapes but is also produced in other forms, such as logs and boxes. It is typically matured for 8–10 weeks and weighs around 100–600 g (3.5–21.2 oz).

This AOC product should not be confused with the American version of the cheese, which is a factory manufactured lower fat, higher moisture content, unaged alternative to American cream cheese.

## History

Neufchâtel is the oldest of the Norman cheeses, having likely been made as early as the 6th century, and known to have been made between 1050 and 1543. For the end-of-year festivals during the Hundred Years' War, stories say that young girls offered heart-shaped cheeses to English soldiers to show their affection. During the 17th century it was sent to Paris and Rouen, and exported to Great Britain.

In 1880 Isidore Lefebvre, a farmer, constructed a dairy in Nesle-Hodeng, where he could mould and ripen cheese curds made by farmers in the surrounding area. Among Lefebvre's distributors were stores such as Harrods.

A quality label was granted for Neufchâtel from 1949 to 1953. In 1957 the agricultural assembly of the Neufchâtel district created a federation for protecting the quality of the cheese, working to demand an *appellation d'origine contrôlée* (AOC, "controlled designation of origin"). This was put into law May 3rd, 1969, and modified December 29th, 1986. The AOC was reviewed again in 2006 under higher scrutiny, requiring that 65% of a manufacturer's cows be of the Normande breed.

Production of the cheese decreased after World War II. In 1993 there were 31 farms and one factory producing 45% of all Neufchâtel.

## Shapes

There are six different shapes of Neufchâtel:

* *Carré* (square-shaped), (100 g)
* *Briquette* (brick-shaped), (100 g)
* *Bondon* or *bonde* (bung or plug-shaped), (100 g)
* *Cœur* (heart-shaped), (200 g)
* *Double bonde* (double plug-shaped, twice the weight of a *bondon*), (400 g)
* *Grand cœur* or *gros cœur* (large heart-shaped, thrice the weight of a *cœur*), (600 g)

## American "Neufchâtel"

In 1872, William Lawrence, a New York dairyman of the township of Chester, created the first American cream cheese as the result of adding cream to a traditional recipe for Neufchâtel.

American "Neufchâtel" is softer than regular cream cheese due to its approximately ~33% lower fat and higher moisture content. Due to this reduced fat content, it is found in most grocery stores as a reduced-fat alternative to cream cheese.

She is attested from the Gobleg inscription, in which she granted her gave permission to the residents of Air Tabar to become the guardian of the Indrapura Temple located within the village of Air Tabar. She did not use the sign of the Warmadewa dynasty, which has been the subject of a number of theories. It has been suggested that she came from Srivijaya, signifying how the power of Srivijaya had expanded to Bali. Another opinion is the she was the daughter of king Mpu Sindok. Sri Wijaya Mahadewi died in 989 and left the throne to a king and a queen in co-regency.

# Never Ending Tour 2012

The **Never Ending Tour** is the popular name for Bob Dylan's endless touring schedule since June 7, 1988.

## Background

The 2012 leg of the Never Ending tour was announced via BobDylan.com on February 16, 2012. The first dates to be announced were concerts taking place in three South American Countries; Brazil, Argentina and Chile. Dylan previously visited these countries last time he toured South America on the Never Ending Tour 2008. On March 15, 2012, after being rumored in the press, it was confirmed that Dylan would perform in Heredia, Costa Rica on May 5, 2012. This was Dylan's first concert in the country of Costa Rica and his first concert in Central America. On March 28, 2012 it was confirmed that Dylan would return to Mexico, four years after his last performances there in 2008.

It was confirmed on March 27, 2012 that Dylan would return to Kent in 2012 to headline the Hop Farm Festival. Dylan had previously headlined the festival in July 2010. On March 29, 2012 Dylan's official website revealed several European concerts for the summer of 2012. These dates included official confirmation of his performances at Hop Farm Festival, Festival Internacional Benicàssim and Festival Vieilles Charrues Les Nuits de Fourvière. It was revealed that Dylan also performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. Dylan also performed in Salzburg, Austria and Nîmes, France.

Dylan performed at eleven European concerts this summer including: his second performance at The Hop Farm Festival in Kent, the Citadel Music Festival in Berlin, Kunst!Rasen Gronau in Bonn, Lieder im Schloss in Bad Mergentheim, the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, Festival Internacional de Benicàssim in Spain, Festival Jardins de Cap Roig in Calella, Festival de Nîmes in France, Collisioni 2012 in Barolo, Les Nuits de Fourvière in Lyon and the Vieilles Charrues Festival in Carhaix.

Rehearsals for Dylan's 2012 European tour began at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie, New York on Monday June 25, 2012 and lasted until Wednesday June 27, 2012 where Dylan and his band flew to England for his performance at Hop Farm Festival on Saturday June 30, 2012. Among unknown tunes Dylan and his band performed "Things Have Changed", "Nettie Moore", "Tangled Up in Blue", "Blind Willie McTell" and "Ballad of Hollis Brown". Dylan's performance at the Hop Farm Music Festival saw the introduction of a grand piano into his set, which he played for eight songs of his sixteen-song set.

On June 15, 2012, Dylan's official website announced eleven concerts that are to take place in August and September 2012. These shows include three concerts in Canada, where Dylan hadn't performed since November 2009. The following day a further two concerts were announced, one taking place in Billings, Montana and the other taking place in Rochester, Minnesota. On June 20 another two concerts were announced, one in Cincinnati and the other in Salisbury, Maryland. The tickets for Dylan's show in Cranbrook sold out in record time. The venue adjusted the position of the stage to add a further 250 tickets, which also sold out. On June 28, 2012 a further six concerts were announced taking place in August and early September. The August 15 concert in Billings, Montana was eventually cancelled due to poor ticket sales.

The much anticipated North American leg of the Dylan/Knopfler tour was announced via both BobDylan.com and MarkKnopfler.com on July 18, 2012, just one day after Dylan announced his 35th studio album, *Tempest*. The tour was met with a mixed to negative response. Many reviews complained about Dylan's decreasing vocal abilities and his lack of piano playing skills. As usual with Dylan reviews the press complained about Dylan's changing of song, beyond recognition sometimes. The tour's attendance was fairly poor with many reviews reporting fans leaving long before the concert was over. In an unprecedented move during his November 5 concert in Madison, Wisconsin, Dylan addressed the crowd, besides his normal band introduction and said: *"We tried to play good tonight since the president was here today. Don't believe the media. I think it's going to be a landslide"*

Performing only 86 concerts in 2012, Dylan performed the fewest shows during a year-long leg of the Never Ending Tour since 1996.
