ATHENA — Liberty Christian enacted its own Patriot Act here Friday night on the eighth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the United States, much to the chagrin of the Weston-McEwen Tigerscots in a non-league prep football game.
With a pounding run game and an accurate passing game, the undermanned Liberty Christian Patriots took home a narrow 22-14 victory.
Zach Simpkins carried the ball 26 times for 163 yards for the Patriots, including nine times on the final scoring drive that helped seal the win.
W-M coach Kenzie Hansell admitted the Patriots running game took its toll.
"We need to work on stopping the run, and keeping our defense off the field," Hansell said. "Our defense was on the field a long time tonight."
A difficult time stopping the run wasn't the only thing that ailed the Tiger-Scots.
"Penalties hurt us real bad," Hansell said. "This was our first game. We've certainly got a lot to work on."
The pass-oriented TigerScots put the ball up a total of 24 times connecting on just nine. But the passes that connected racked up a healthy 15 yards per catch, including the game's opening score on the second play from scrimmage, a 62-yard hookup from QB Kyle Watts to sophomore receiver Dallas Reich.
The two teams exchanged punts on the next three drives until Weston-McEwen turned it over on downs after going for it on fourth-and-six from its own 41. Given the great field position, Liberty Christian responded on a four-play drive highlighted by a 30-yard Simpkins run. Simpkins scored the touchdown two plays later on a 6-yard run at 11:50 of the second quarter.
The TigerScots got their next great scoring opportunity after blocking an LC punt and recovering it at the Patriot 23. But two sacks, three incomplete passes and an illegal procedure forced W-M to try for a field goal. On the try, 6-foot-5 Patriot Bryan Corrigan put two big mitts on the ball, blocking it at the line of scrimmage.
Liberty Christian went into halftime nursing an 8 to 7 lead.
Penalties killed another Weston-McEwen scoring opportunity at the beginning of the third quarter. On the TigerScots second play from scrimmage, running back Elliot Salter tore off a powerful, slashing 49-yard touchdown run. However, an illegal shift penalty negated the run.
Two delay-of-game penalties on the same drive resulted in Weston-McEwen turning over the ball on downs again deep in LC territory at the 24.
The Patriots took the ball from there to the house on a balanced nine-play, 76-yard touchdown drive aided by a Tiger-Scot 15-yard personal foul penalty.
The TigerScots took the next drive all the way to the Patriot 17, before again turning the ball over on downs.
Hansell implemented a new strategy on the TigerScots' last scoring drive. Temporarily giving up on the pass, the TigerScots ran five consecutive times for 59 yards. Watts capped the drive with a 15-yard quarterback keeper to make the score 16-14 Patriots with 6:08 remaining.
Liberty Christian started its final drive after the ensuing kickoff at its own 33. The crucial play of the game came on third-and-nine.
Quarterback Mike Olson underthrew his intended receiver, Tyler Koglin, who fell to the ground while adjusting to the ball. W-M cornerback Aaron Speed awaited the pick, but as Speed caught the ball he also fell. The ball bounced out of Speed's hands and into lap of the surprised Koglin for a 21-yard gain.
Then the Patriots turned to running back Simpkins, who chewed up yards and the TigerScots remaining timeouts. Simpkins scored on an 18-yard sweep, but the important two-point conversion attempt failed and the TigerScots trailed 22-14 with 37 seconds to play.
The TigerScots hopes died when LC lineman Jimmy Brower took down a scrambling Watts at the LC 39 as time expired.
Before the game, assistant coach J.D. Lambert led the TigerScots onto the field carrying the American flag in memory of the thousands killed on Sept. 11, 2001. Lambert is a military veteran who served in Iraq from 2003-2008.
"He came back and wanted to get involved with the program," Hansell said of his assistant coach . "What a great role model. Someone who was a high school athlete, and then went and fought for his country."
The TigerScots play their next game Thursday night at Dayton.

Here's a really cool greeting card, built in Silverlight for the Chinese Moon Festival, with the theme 'let there be light'.
It shows the nice things that are possible when you blend Silverlight with an active back-end, which in this case is ASP.NET.
It also shows how Silverlight and HTML controls work really nicely together! :)

Johannesburg, Mar 30 (EFE).- Former South African President Nelson Mandela is breathing without difficulty after being treated in hospital for a recurrence of the pneumonia he had suffered, the office of the current head of state, Jacob Zuma, said Saturday in a communique.
Doctors announced that due to a pulmonary infection, ex-President Mandela "developed a pleural effusion which was tapped" and drained, according to a statement issued by presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj.
"This has resulted in him now being able to breathe without difficulty. He continues to respond to treatment and is comfortable," Maharaj said about the anti-apartheid leader, having announced previously that Mandela was hospitalized late Wednesday for a "pulmonary infection."
The communique, which, for the first time since the 94-year-old Mandela was hospitalized, mentioned that his illness was related to "pneumonia," also expressed gratitude for the prayers and messages of concern for the patient and his family.
Maharaj said Friday that Mandela - in hospital for the fifth time in just over two years - was in good spirits and is making steady progress in his recovery.
Mandela, who fought against South Africa's former system of racial segregation for 67 years, suffers from respiratory ailments stemming from his 27-year imprisonment by the apartheid regime.
The "father of the nation" divides his time between Johannesburg and Qunu, the eastern village where he spent his childhood.
His last public appearance was at the closing ceremony of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which South Africa hosted.

(The following is a reformatted version of a press release issued by New York City Comptroller John C. Liu and received via e-mail. The release was confirmed by the sender.) March 14, 2013 LIU: BANKS AGREE TO EXPAND CLAWBACKS TO COVER COSTLY MISCONDUCT Capital One, Wells Fargo, and Citi Also Break New Ground on Disclosure NEW YORK, N.Y. - City Comptroller John C. Liu today announced that the NYC Pension Funds have reached agreements with Capital One Financial Corp. (NYSE: COF), Citigroup (NYSE: C), and Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) to expand their policies on clawbacks to cover misconduct that causes financial or reputational harm. The agreements are in line with a new best practice established last year by three major banks and further raise the bar on accountability by strengthening companies' disclosure of actual clawbacks above and beyond what may be legally required. "Executives need to be held financially accountable for misconduct that harms the company, and that includes improper behavior and reckless risk-taking by those they manage," Comptroller Liu said. "This is a vital step toward reining in out-of-control executive pay based on short-term gains. We commend these banks for strengthening the link between compensation and business integrity, which is central to creating long-term value, and for setting new standards of disclosure." All three banks adopted new policies empowering their respective boards of directors to recover, or "claw back," incentive pay from executives who are responsible for misconduct that causes serious financial or reputational harm to their company, either through their actions or through a failure to supervise others. Previously, the boards could generally only claw back pay from executives who committed intentional or gross misconduct, a higher threshold that generally also results in termination, or in the event of a financial restatement. The companies are also believed to be the first to adopt policies regarding disclosure of clawback actions taken, with the strongest commitment coming from Capital One. In the event of a clawback, Capital One will disclose the total amount clawed back in connection with any event, so long as the underlying event has already been publicly disclosed to investors. In a positive step forward, Wells Fargo and Citigroup have committed to consider disclosure of their clawbacks on a case by case basis. Wells Fargo's board "will determine whether and to what extent public disclosure of information regarding such clawback or recoupment, including the amount of compensation and the executive(s) impacted, is appropriate." Similarly, Citigroup will consider making public disclosures whenever a decision has been made to cancel deferred compensation payable to a senior executive responsible for costly misconduct. The NYC Pension Funds and Comptroller Liu had filed shareowner proposals at the three banks, but withdrew them after the banks' adopted significant changes to their current clawback policies. The banks have each paid hefty fines in recent years to settle allegations of deceptive or improper business practices. The new policies are intended to serve as deterrent to future violations company policy or law. Background In 2012, Comptroller Liu and the NYC Pension Funds reached agreements with Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley regarding their clawbacks. The banks clarified that their clawback policies cover not just employees who engaged in reckless risk-taking or misconduct but also their supervisors. New York City Comptroller John C. Liu serves as the investment advisor to, custodian, and trustee of the New York City Pension Funds. The New York City Pension Funds are composed of the New York City Employees' Retirement System, Teachers' Retirement System, New York City Police Pension Fund, New York City Fire Department Pension Fund, and the Board of Education Retirement System. The New York City Pension Funds held a combined 20,795,019 shares of Capital One, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo valued at $867,595,449.42 as of 3/12/2013. In addition to Comptroller Liu, the New York City Pension Funds' trustees are: New York City Employees' Retirement System: Janice Emery, Mayor's Representative (Chair); New York City Public Advocate Bill de Blasio; Borough Presidents: Scott Stringer (Manhattan), Helen Marshall (Queens), Marty Markowitz (Brooklyn), James Molinaro (Staten Island), and Ruben Diaz, Jr. (Bronx); Lillian Roberts, Executive Director, District Council 37, AFSCME; John Samuelsen, President Transport Workers Union Local 100; Gregory Floyd, President, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 237.

you have just GOT to be kidding me.
Now here's a chick who claims to be underaged but looks 30; I really need crazy ass Tony's take on this before i know how to feel.
The mother is the blonde one, correct?
What is this all about? Paparazzi shots? Documentary stills? I wanna take that cheese grater to her face
The recipe calls for 2 D-Cups of sugar.
What is wrong with this girl? Seriously, what.is. wrong.with.this.girl????
Repulsive whore. I hope she gets the Wonder Bread of all yeast infections
The creature commonly known as "Courtney Stodden" is actually a form of lesser demon / imp; those who view it see all that it wrong with the media in his or her society. For instance, if you showed this picture to a North Korean, he or she would actually see Kim Jong Il making scrambled eggs.
Hmm funny, If I had to go with a demon creature for her I would have gone with succubus not imp, but maybe Im just a romantic .
The mom looks ten years younger then her.
her top's too big…. in every single photo i see of her, she is deliberately trying to look bigger bosomed…. if you see her cleavage carefully you can see her boobs end a lot higher than the hang of her breasts.
What rots ME is that she's still insisting they're real … that's how painfully stupid she is. Like we can't tell. And now the new nose. Total horseshit. Why have they no shame ???
OMFG!!! Someone needs to slap her mother!
I dont see a problem here. Seriously. I like whores.
These are the worst humans.
I can get behind that statement.

Picture: Tim Allen; Jane Hajduk G'Day USA Black Tie Gala at the JW Marriot at LA Live - Arrivals Featuring: Tim Allen, Jane Hajduk Where:...
Actor Tim Allen is reuniting with his former onscreen son Jonathan Taylor Thomas for an upcoming episode of his hit U.S. show Last Man Standing.
The 31 year old played Allen's middle child Randy in long-running American sitcom Home Improvement, and now they're teaming up for the first time in over two decades on the veteran's new comedy.
Taylor Thomas will guest star as the manager of a restaurant where Allen's Tv daughter Kristin applies for a job during an episode set to air in either March or April (13), according to Entertainment Weekly.
The former child star isn't the first Home Improvement actor to appear in Allen's programme - his Tool Time sidekick Richard Karn made a cameo in Last Man Standing during the show's second season.

Adobe Creative Suite 3
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 : Device Central Dreamweaver comes with Adobe DeviceCentral, which previews your pages as they'll look on mobile phones and other small-screen devices. The result isn't always pretty.
12 / 81
Bottom Line
Just getting the former Macromedia programs integrated would have been a major achievement, but Adobe has also managed to give each program significant new features and functionality. I strongly recommend the terrific values found in the Creative Suite 3 packages for anyone involved in computer graphics.

An Honor for Teacher in Waycross Middle School Teacher Making His Mark; Nominated for Georgia Teacher of the Year
Kinner, Derek L., The Florida Times Union
WAYCROSS -- As a Navy pilot, William R. Cranshaw survived a
crash caused by faulty equipment. As a Navy commander, he taught
officers to break codes as a part of military intelligence.
But Cranshaw, 48, says his main goal in life was to teach kids.
After only four years, he already has made his mark at Waycross
Middle School. Cranshaw was chosen last month as one of 14
semifinalists for Georgia's Teacher of the Year Program.
"I suppose I'm a bit surprised, but I'm extremely honored,"
Cranshaw said. "To me, this is not Bill Cranshaw [being
honored], this is a school system and group of teachers that
have worked hard to do something. I'm just here at the front
The nominations for the award will be pared to four on April
15, and the winner will be announced May 9 in Atlanta.
Cranshaw's ideas have made him a central force in education at
his school. At the heart of his recognition is a program called
"Success Bound."
Cranshaw said the new teaching program was formed by teachers
"talking in the halls." Under the program, teachers have the
same students in all of the students' three years of middle
school to make sure they are prepared for high school. Cranshaw
said each student is evaluated at 18-week intervals, and if the
student has not progressed enough, he or she must repeat the 18
The school eventually will have the two-year-old program working
for all students and teachers. By next year, half the teachers,
12, will be involved, as will 300 students, Principal Robert T.
Bussey said.
"The philosophy is that all children learn," Cranshaw said.
"The problem is they learn at different rates and different
times. We have to be willing to adjust for that."
And he said grades often do not reflect how well a student is
doing. For instance, Cranshaw said a student can fail in two of
math's four areas -- addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division -- but pass overall by scoring higher in the other two
"We have to take kids where they are and work with them there,
then try to get the grades to reflect the learning," Cranshaw
Bussey said Cranshaw, who retired from the Navy in 1991 after a
22-year career, is a special teacher because his only motivation
is his love of teaching.
"It wasn't something he had to do; it was something he wanted
to do," Bussey said. "You can tell he has a passion for it."
Students say they feel that passion.
"I think he's probably one of the best teachers I've had," said
Sarah Herrin, 12, a seventh-grader. …

Rakhshanda's Group
She has taken responsibility for all of her group members. Her group consists of 5 members; some members are new and a few are old ones. All of the members have taken a loan according to their needs.
The featured borrower, Rukhsana, took a loan for her husband's business. In fact her husband owns a computer composing and designing shop. He uses a computer for composing and designing. A few days ago his computer's motherboard was blown due to a fluctuation in electricity. He saved most of the composing backup data on the hard drive but he is unable to continue his work without a motherboard. Her husband's business is not profitable and their savings are not enough to buy a new motherboard.
Rukhsana is the mother of four children, all of whom go to school daily. Her husband has to pay for the educational expenses and those of the household as well by himself. His monthly income based upon his single source of income, due to the problem with the computer affects all household expenses and is disturbing.
Therefore, Rukhsana requested a loan for her husband so that he would be able to buy a new motherboard to continue his composing business. She is very thankful to Kiva's field partner BRAC Pakistan.

Tigray is not only the name of the please or the Region it is also the name of the Ethnic group Ethiopian Tigray and Eritrean Tigray Just like Afar and Kunama .it is quit easy. Belay HAile Selassie
The history of this page was destroyed due to some unfortunate circumstances with the name disagreement, so here is the history of the page before Merhawie's move: History of Tigray people.
Name of the ethnicity[edit]
I believe "Tigray" is only used for the region, "Tigrean" or "Tigrayan" for the people. -- MikeGasser (talk) 03:58, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- I am by no means knowledgeable on this group of people. I simply created the article because the ragion and the language articles referred to an ethnic group of "Tigrays". Please move the content to a more correctly titled page. //Big Adamsky 04:41, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- As I mentioned at Talk:Tigrinya language, an earlier version of this article was called "Tigrawot," but the fact that no one could verify the use of the term (other than as a neologism) led to the article's deletion. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 06:12, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Well, let's keep at least one article — however minuscule — dedicated to focusing on the ethnic group (and/or speech community) until such a time as a more (politically) correct ethnonym can be agreed upon. =] //Big Adamsky 08:09, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- If you look at the following articles from Dr. Orville Boyd Jenkins:
- He states that the most correct title would be Tigray-Tigrinya. He also continues in another article to say:
- The two groups are often referred to together under the combined name of Tigray-Tigrinya. They are often treated as two sub-groups of one ethnicity. The growing animosity and war of recent years has lead to a greater contrast in the two groups and has led to a greater distinction between their distinct ethnicities.
- For these reasons I believe that this page name should be change to 'Tigray-Tigrinya'.
- Merhawie 01:03, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- Though it might be worded betterly, A search for "Tigray-Tigrinya" online only nets 138 results (with the quotations), some of which are actually "Tigray/Tigrinya" or "Tigray, Tigrinya," and others which are parts of larger words ("Tigray-Tigrinya-Beja" comes up). It seems to be a neologism, which Wikipedia avoids. Tegaru or Tegrawot would be more applicable, but the name is almost unknown in English. Tegaru gets 187 hits when searching in english pages (and -japan -japanese), but "Tigray people" gets over 21,000 (~21,300). I think the numbers speak for themselves. Wikipedia policy is to use the most common (in non-pedantic matters) English name.
- Yom 03:33, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Response to Yom: "Tigray people" could be used for an article about the people of Tigray. It would be inaccurate and offensive to use "Tigray people" as a title for an article which includes the Tigrigna speaking people of Eritrea. If the purpose of generalizing a name is to be less offensive, then using "Tigray people" as a title would obviously defeat the purpose as it would prove offensive to an Eritrean. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs) 14:58, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- This issue is already solved. You need not discuss it anymore. — ዮም (Yom) | contribs • Talk • E 16:54, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yom, I am going to have to disagree with you here about this being a Wiki Guideline. This issue deals quite specifically with a naming convention. There is indeed a naming convention specifically for this, [1] and in it it states:
- Use the most specific terminology available...,
- given the caveat,
- If this is objectionable often a more general name is more neutral or more accurate.
- However, in defense of your perspective, the guidline continues to say that :
- Do not assume that any one term is the most inclusive or accurate.
- I do believe though that one of the final guidelines given is,
- On the other hand, generalizing a subject is often the least offensive way to deal with it.
- Which, when applied specifically to this case, would lead us to use the most general term to refer to the ethnic group. This would most reasonably be by their language, "Tigrinya/Tigrigna", or to be more general, "Tigrayan-Tigrinya".
- Because Yom and I have already gone back and forth over this subject, I think it is important to get further input from others.
- Merhawie 16:42, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- Yom, I am going to have to disagree with you here about this being a Wiki Guideline. This issue deals quite specifically with a naming convention. There is indeed a naming convention specifically for this, [1] and in it it states:
- Well, the guidline you are quoting seems to support "Tigray people" a little more than "Tigray-Tigrinya." As you said, Use the most specific terminology available would support "Tigrinya-Tigray," but that generalizing a subject is often the least offensive way to deal with it supports "Tigray people," while the following policy supports neither:
- Do not assume that any one term is the most inclusive or accurate.
- The guidline seems to be unhelpful, but if you look at the larger guidline (the official wikipedia policy one, rather than the guidline subset), you'll see that it says to article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature. While linking isn't very difficult in either case, I have shown pretty definitively that "Tigray people" is much more often used than "Tigray-Tigrinya" or any of the other alternatives. Moreover, there is little more ambiguity involved in "Tigray people" vs. "Tigray-Tigrinya." While the latter says what groups are called in their respective countries, that can easily be explained in the larger article, and "Tigray people" cannot be confused for anything that it is not.

- Yom 18:33, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- I think much confusion arises from the often unappreciated fact that there is an entirely separate people and language in Eritrea known as Tigre ትግሬ while the name of the region associated with the people in this article is Tigray ትግራይ and their language is Tigrinya (sometimes spelled the Italianate way as Tigrigna, but always ትግርኛ in feedel); then the name for the people in Ethiopia is "Tigrawee" ትግራዊ, which in English would most properly be "Tigrayan" IMO. There is still more confusion arising from the fact that many English speakers might assume Tigre and Tigray are pronounced the same, but Tigray in Ethiopia is pronounced with a long dipthong, to rhyme with "RYE", as opposed to Tigre in Eritrea, pronounced to rhyme with "RAY". The Tigrinya language is also found on the Eritrean side of the border, but it is not inter-comprehensible with the Tigre language, indigenous to Eritrea: About half of the Tigre language is taken from Agew languages like Beja, making it far less Semitic. As for Tigrinya, this word is only properly applied to the language and not the people or region, since -inya is the suffix meaning a language. Now, as for the people of Tigray who speak Tigrinya, as I said they are called Tigrawee (singular or adjectival) or Tigrawyan (plural); these have the suffixes -awee and -awyan, but the best and most accurate spelling using English rules is "Tigrayan"; ie, "from Tigray" (noun or adjective). Note, this is also the spelling you see when you see TPLF spelled out correctly in English. So, my recommendation for the location of this article is at the title "Tigrayan people". ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 19:04, 31 March 2006 (UTC)]
To Sinaiticus: The Tigre language is derived mainly from Ge'ez, the greatest influence to Tigre is Arabic, thus making it probably the most Semitic of all languages which originated in Ge'ez. Agew languages contributed mostly to Amharic but also to the many Tigrigna dialects spoken in the areas close to the land of the Agews (southern Tigray). The Tigre who inhabit northern Eritea had very little contact with Agew related people with the exception of the Bilen in Keren. Their contacts were mainly with the Bejas but the extent of Beja vocabulary in the Tigre language is not what you claim it is and some would even claim that Tigre influenced the vocabulary of the Beja clans (Hedareb and Haddendoa specifically) more than vice versa. What is more, the Bejas are not an Agew related people, they are a North Cushitic people who mainly inhabit northern Sudan, Libya and Egypt as opposed to the Agew who are a Central Cushitic people.
- WRT to Codex_Sinaiticus,
- The name Tigray is the name used for this people group in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian province where they live is named Tigray after them. The people are called Tigrinya in Eritrea, so-called after the language they speak.
- WRT to Codex_Sinaiticus,
- The Tigrinya of Eritrea are the same culturally and linguistically as the Tigray (sometimes spelled Tigrai) of Tigray (also sometimes spelled Tigrai) Province of Ethiopia. The Tigrinya people are one of Eritrea´s nine diverse people groups, each with its own distinct customs and language. In Ethiopia, they are one of more than 100 ethnic groups.

- WRT to the issue of the Wikipedia naming conventions and guidlines, I disagree that "...it is not helpful. In fact, the suggestion that the more General Guideline should be used in this case is not correct because there is a specific Guideline that has been developed for dealing with the issue of IDENTITY (of which this discussion is certainly pertaining to). I do however, not think its relation to this particular discussion was made clear, and so I will clarify:
- Do not assume that any one term is the most inclusive or accurate.
- If we take a look at this quote from this Guideline we would note that 'Tigray' will not be anymore inclusive than 'Tigrinya' and therefore would suggest the use of 'Tigrinya speaking people' or 'Tigray/an-Tigrinya people'.
- On the other hand, generalizing a subject is often the least offensive way to deal with it.
- If we look at this line, the most general term would be 'Tigray/an-Tigrinya people' (referring to the peoples of both countries.
- Use the most specific terminology available...,
- given the caveat,
- If this is objectionable often a more general name is more neutral or more accurate.
- To call a 'Tigrinya' person a 'Tigrayan' is indeed objectionable and that is why the IDENTITY Guideline for Naming Conventions was made. To deal with issues like this.
- WRT to the issue of the Wikipedia naming conventions and guidlines, I disagree that "...it is not helpful. In fact, the suggestion that the more General Guideline should be used in this case is not correct because there is a specific Guideline that has been developed for dealing with the issue of IDENTITY (of which this discussion is certainly pertaining to). I do however, not think its relation to this particular discussion was made clear, and so I will clarify:
- Also, lets be clear if we are talking about Tigrinya speakers, they are best classified as such. However, especially in recent years, the cultures have begun to develop in different ways (much like the British and Americans). So when one refers to the 'Tigray people' it is obvious that s/he is talking about those from the Tigray Province of Ethiopia, while if one refers to the 'Tigrinya people' they are talking about the people of Eritrea. If you are talking about the two groups as a whole, you would be refererring to them as 'Tigrinya speakers' or by their names in union, 'Tigray-Tigrinya people'. This is all laid out quite clearly in the analysis/research of Dr. Orville. I implore you to reassess your perspective in light of this.
- Therefore the only remaining dispute with 'Tigray people' will be either its name, or its continued inclusion of the people of Eritrea as they are 'Tigrinya people'.
- Well the source you quoted is not quite correct, because the name of the province Tigray came first, and if the people are called "Tigray", that is an abbreviation of Tigrawee, which comes from the name of the province. This is all getting so easily confused, I am going to make a new section below with a chart to better show all the differences. ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 19:20, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
To Sinaiticus: There is no such thing as "Tigrawee" whether in English or in Tigrigna. Someone from Tigray is called Tigraway (Tigra-why) as a male and Tigraweyti (Tigra-weighty) as a female and Tegaru in plural. In English perhaps one could use the term Tigrayan for both males and females and Tigrayans for plural.
- Also, how is "Tigrayan" objectionable, and why? I've never heard anything like that before... If it really is for some reason, then Tigray (where it stands now) is probably the next best thing... But I'm positive the TPLF call themselves in English, "Tigrayan peoples liberation front"... ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 19:27, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
To add some more confusion into the mix, I have always called Tigrinya speakers Tigré (rhymes with "ray," not "rye"), and this is how my mother (whose mother is Tigray/Tigré/Tigrayan/Tigrean/whatever) has always referred to them. In fidel, the pronounciation would be written ትግሬ, though I'm not sure how she actually writes the word. Wrt to "Tigrayan," I can see how Eritreans might reject such a labeling since they want to differentiate themselves from Ethiopians.
As to the ትግሬ (Tigre in Eritrea), I've never heard that they have a lot of Beja words. I know there are a significant number (over 100,000, Orville says 206,000, and this might be where I got my information) of Beja who speak Tigre, but I've heard that Tigre is in fact just as close if not closer to Ge'ez than Tigrinya, varying from Tigrinya basically in endings (they don't have all the -i endings) and derivations from different Ge'ez roots (i.e. if there's two ways to say x, then Tigre kept way 1 only, and Tigrinya kept way 2 only). I know it has a lot of Arabic influence.
Yom 19:45, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
WRT to Sinaiticus, Tigrayan would be objectionable to an Eritrean 'Tigrinya' because we are different group from the Tigray of Tigray. Remember that Tigray the province has no existed as long as the language Tigrinya and they obviously cannot be used interchangably. Futhermore the Province of Tigray never encompassed an area that included all of the Tigrinya of Eritrea. For more than a century the destinies of the Eritrean Tigrinya and the Ethiopian Tigrayans have been separate. Also recall that the Tigrayan Liberation Front (TPLF) was fighting for the liberation of the province of Tigray with a vision for a Greater Tigray but this was not based on the Tigrinya speaking people of Eritrea who favored the Nationalist Eritrean People's Liberation Front and Eritrean Liberation Front.
As an Eritrean Tigrinya I have always referred to Eritrean Tigrinya as 'Tigrinya' and Ethiopian 'Tigrayans' as 'Tigrayans'. Both my father and mother are Eritrean Tigrinya. Merhawie 19:56, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, I am just now beginning to realize that the Tigrinya speakers in Eritrea are using the word "Tigrinya" nowadays to refer to the people, and not just the language, I guess because "Tigray" is the name of a place in Ethiopia! This is getting confusing! Yes, the pronunciation Tigre for Tigray is common in Amharic, but it's already confusing enough, the Amharic pronunciation Tigre for Tigray shouldn't even be a consideration! I understand now why he might want to call the article Tigray-Tigrinya, because now I see the term Tigrinya is used on the Eritrean side for the same people... But since Tigrayan is more accurate than Tigray (<Tigrawee), maybe Tigrayan-Tigrinya would be better still? ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 19:57, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Tigray are Ethiopians from the northern Ethiopian province of Tigraya. Tigrinya is a language the people of Tigraya speak but it's also used to refer to the Tigrinya speaking ethnic group in Eritrea. Nadeana 20:34, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
I would question whether the combined term "Tigrayan-Tigrinya" is really used very often (and for that matter, whether Jenkins' website is very scholarly: "a greater distinction between their distinct ethnicities" is rather clumsy writing, to these eyes). However, I do agree that the combined term is more neutral. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 08:46, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- I am wondering, though, if there is some root word "Tigr-" from which "Tigrinya" and "Tigray" are both derived (like "Amhara"->"Amharic," or "Angl-"->"Enlish," "England"). If so, then that root word seems the most neutral of all. Unless the root word is "Tigray" which, as pointed out, has other, Ethiopia-specific connotations. I'm not sure that hepled much -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:05, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
I think we have a case where there isn't any clear English convention, but we do have pretty good evidence after all of this discussion of what the conventions are within the Tigrinya-speaking communities themselves, with Tigrinya now being used in Eritrea for a people and not just a language. As Merhawie says, the word Tigray, whatever else it may sometimes mean in English, refers to a province in Ethiopia, which postdates the language and never encompassed the whole region where the language is spoken. I think this is a case where we should defer to the conventions within the community of speakers themselves; this would (hopefully) avoid offending anyone. And those conventions would lead us to refer to the ethnicity as Tigray/Tigrinya or Tigrayan/Tigrinya. Or (I hate to stir things up, but I guess we should be considering all possibilities), should there be separate articles for two different ethnicities that share a language? To take an extreme example, there is no Wikipedia article for the various English-speaking peoples around the world, even for those whose ancestors were English. -- MikeGasser (talk) 16:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- I wondered about splitting the article, too. I notice that there are different articles for Arabic language dialects, but only one article, Arab, aout the people. There are no separate articles about, say, Moroccan Arabs and Syrian Arabs, though I am guessing that there may be more differences between those two than there are between Ethiopian Tigrayans and Eritrean Tigrinya. So, I'd still lean toward keeping the one article but maybe using the combined name. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:20, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with your conclusion, but I'm not sure it has been conclusively shown that the name of the province Tigray "postdates the language". It still seems far more likely that Tigray is the oldest word, a name for the region where the people originated and subsequently spread out from. The name "Tigrinya" cannot be older than "Tigray", because it is formed from the word "Tigray" with a suffix -inya (normally used to denote a language). The other various nouns and adjective forms used to denote the ethnicity, like Tigrawee, Tigrawot, etc. are similarly formed by adding suffixes to "Tigray". ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 17:18, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- Just to clarify: I didn't mean that the word Tigray postdated the language, only that the modern province itself did. I agree that the word Tigrinya must have come from Tigray (or some other similar word). In his book on the language, Leslau claims that the language name comes from the "region" name in fact (though he uses Tigré for this instead of Tigray). -- MikeGasser (talk) 19:53, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- Well, the first known mention of a "Tigray" people is from an 8th-10th century manuscript explaining the Monumentum Adulitanum. According to Stuart Munro-Hay,
The 8th to 10th century manuscripts in which this inscription is preserved have some explanatory glosses about some of these names; thus Gaze apparently means the Aksumites, still called Agaze, the Siguene are the Suskinitai, the tribes near Adulis are called the Tigretes (the earliest mention of Tigray?)
- I don't see how knowing this is helpful, however, seeing as the term is unused. It's obviously a triliteral t-g-r root, though.
To Yom: If the manuscript refers to a tribe living near Adulis then it was probably not referring to the "Tigray people" or to Tigray. The term "Tigretes" does not automatically translate into Tigray people or Tigray. It could have been ancestors of the Tigre, or even Tigrigna speaking peoples, not necessarily associated with the province of Tigray.
- Yom 20:08, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Since no one has made any contributions to this page in a bit I thought that I would assess what has been said. Here is the list of people that have contributed to this conversation so far, and the way they seem to be leaning for the title:
- Codex_Sinaiticus (combined)
- Gyrofrog (combined)
- Merhawie (separate/combined)
- MikeGasser (separate/combined)
- Nadeana (separate)
- Yom (unified)
Its seems that the overriding preference is to maintain an article in reference to both groups (Tigrinya and Tigrayan) combined but to use a more neutral combined name such as Tigrayan-Tigrinya or Tigrinya-Tigrayan. So if there arent any concerns, I will change the name of this page to...."Tigrinya-Tigrayan" tomorrow afternoon.

My understanding is that the Tigray are overwhelmingly Ethiopian Orthodox, with very few Muslims and very few converts to P'ent'ay among them (this may be completely different from Tigrinya speakers in Eritrea). However, this is based purely on hearsay. I am wondering if someone can cite a source that confirms or denies this, before we add such a statement to the article? -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:04, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- Probably 95% of all Tigré are Orthodox, with few Muslim (Jeberti in Eritrea) or P'en'tay converts. Someone just added it to their religion, though, but I'm not sure as to how many are Muslim in Eritrea (still very small, but not sure their extent), so I don't know whether to leave it or take it out. What's the usual cut-off % for including or excluding a religion in the info-box? (Yom, though I forgot to sign this)
I noticed this on accident, but when I copied and pasted the text from the old version of "Tigray people" to "Tigray-Tigrinya," the diff. of the two versions shows that Merhawie started changing the orders of Eritrea to come before Ethiopia. While I think alphabetical order and prominence should be more important (i.e. Eritrea, Ethiopia for popplace, but Ethio orthodox before Eri since more are members of the former), I don't want this to result in an edit war. The order it is in now seems to me to be fine, and I would posit that we simply leave it in this order and also the same order as when any additions are made, with the only exception where it clearly makes sense to put one in front of the other or in the case of a massive overhaul of the article, where it first explains Tigrays in Ethiopia and then Tigrinya in Eritrea (or vice-versa) and then the two groups as a whole. OTherwise, it would be best not to start an edit war over this and just leave the orders be.
Also, Merhawie, why did you remove the picture? You may object to it as he was the Emperor of Ethiopia, but he is a prominent Tigray-Tigrinya and an acceptable choice for a picture to represent the ethnic group (also it's very old so the copywright has expired).
On an unrelated note, should citations go outside of the period of the sentence or inside?
Yom 23:03, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Actually I looked at a few people articles (Kurds, Hausas, Igbos), and it seems that the popplace should be in order of population, so I'm going to put Ethiopia first again. Apparently it is the total number that is important and not the percentage, since Turkey comes before Iraq for Kurds, even though it's 15% of Iraq's population vs. 12.5% of Turkey's.
Yom 23:14, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
I am the one who removed the picture, because Yohannes IV does NOT represent our ethnic group, he represents a political force which along with his chief cohort Alula Abanega committed genocide on our people in the late 19th century, like puttting up a picture of Hitler to represent German ethnicity, an absolutely disgusting choice. You couldn't find a better example of a picture like people wearing traditional costumes, playing krar and keboro and dancing around in a ring typical of the Tigrayan and Biher-Tigrigna? Even putting up an Axum monument would have been slightly inaccurate (since it is a legacy common to all Abyssinian peoples that predates the Biher-Tigrigna/Tigrayan ethnicity) but much less insensitive!
- Do you have any evidence for this so called genocide against Tigrinya speaking peoples? If your referring to his persection of Jebertis, then I don't deny that, but there's a separate article for them, and it would very inappropriate to include a picture of him to represent Jebertis (since he was not Jeberti and persecuted them). Yohannes was, however, a prominent Tigray-Tigrinya being an Emperor. The picture box is for prominent members of the ethnic group, so people wearing traditional costumes and the like wouldn't do. More modern figures like Isayas and Meles are inappropriate by themselves as they don't represent both groups (whereas Yohannes lived before the separation of Eritrea, so can be said to represent the ethnic group as a whole). The ultimate goal is a composite image of famous people, however, so if you want to put Yohannes as the beginning of the list, followed by Meles and Isayas, then that's fine. Putting up a monument of Aksum is inappropriate for two reasons: one, it doesn't fulfill the purpose of the image box (to show a prominent member of the ethnic group), and two, it existed before Tigrinya existed as a language or Tigray/Tigrinya as an ethnic group (back when everyone spoke Ge'ez - the first mention of Tigray isn't until the 8th or 10th century as "Tigretes" – a tribe living near the coast). — ዮም (Yom) | contribs • Talk 20:24, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Hitler did not committ genocide on Germans he committed genocide on Jews who are an unrelated people. So I guess using that kind of racist logic it would be entirely appropriate to put up Hitlers picture to represent Germans? "Emperor" Yohannes IV like many other "Emperors" before him CLAIMED to be ruler over many territories thereamong the areas populated by Tigrigna speakers in present day Eritrea. These territories were never effectively united under one Empire so the legitimacy of such a claim is in question. Precolonial Africa did not consist of nationstates with clear boundaries, it consisted of realms of influence which constantly changed. Resistance to Yohannes IV's rule was rife in many areas of his "Empire" thereamong the Tigrinya speaking region of present day Eritrea then known as Medri Bahri (in Abyssinia" Mereb Mellash or Bahr Negash), and this could be a possible explanation as to why he ended up betrayed in his own "Empire" to the Sudanese who decapitated his skull and still have it on display in the National Museum of Khartoum. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs) 14:16, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- Who did Yohannes commit genocide on? Not on an ethnic group, though he certainly killed Muslims. Either way, he's the best example of a Tigrinya speaking person that we have, though I'm working on adding a couple more to make a horizontal picture reel. Who betrayed Yohannes to the Sudanese? No one did, he was just unlucky and hit by a lone sniper, otherwise the Battle of Metemma would have been won as the Sudanese were losing, it's just Yohannes's death that lead to the Ethiopian retreat. What does Yohannes's head have to do with anything, by the way? Eritrea has been a part of Ethiopia since time memorial, though, I don't know what you mean that it was never really under control. Rebellions have occurred in every part of the Empire before, but the time you're talking about, the Zemene Mesafint (1755-1855) is when the whole empire was weak and losely controlled by regents, while the Emperor was a figure head.

1. A person from Tigray speaks Tigrigna (Tigrinya) and is a Tigrayan in English, or Tigraway (-way pronounced "why") for the masculine singular and Tigraweyti (-weyti pronounced as "weigh-tee") for the feminine singular or Tegaru ("tegah-roo" emphasis on "roo") for the plural in Tigrigna. I do not know where "Tigrawee" comes from (which language) but it is not a phonetic rendition of anything remotely Tigrigna nor does the suffix "-wee" make any sense in English.
2. As an Eritrean of the Tigrigna-speaking ethnicity I would like to inform you that our official definition as a people is Biher-Tigrigna NOT simply "Tigrigna". Biher-Tigrigna means roughly -the Tigrigna ethnicity-, Biher meaning ethnicity. Eritrea is home to nine "Biherat" (plural of Biher), nine ethnicities, one of which is the Biher-Tigrigna.
3. The prefix or title Biher is important when denoting Tigrigna speakers as opposed to our language because of the nature of the word Tigrigna itself. Since this word is taken directly from Tigrigna (the language) and is not an anglicised construct, it carries its own exact meaning according to the Tigrigna grammar which can not be confused with English words or constructs that apply equally to nation-states and languages (like the word "English" for example). Tigrigna is specifically a language not a people. To denote the Eritrean people who are its native speakers, start with the Tigrigna word for ethnicity which is "Biher".
Ex. I am Biher-Tigrigna and I speak Tigrigna.
4. Biher-Tigrigna is both a noun and an adjective, both singular and plural (but like "people" or "hair") is a singlar word which can denote plurality as well as singularity and it is applicable to both sexes: I am Biher-Tigrigna and so is she hence we belong to the Biher-Tigrigna which numbers about 2 million (my own guesstimate).
5. No other Eritrean ethnicities need to be adressed "Biher" other than for formalities sake, since their names do correspond with the name of their language. The Tigre people speak Tigre for example. The Tigre and the Beja contributed vicabulary to eachother's languages while Arabic influenced them both. But the Beja language is NOT an Agew language. Infact Beja is in an entirely different branch of the Cushitic language family than Agew. Beja is a North Cushitic language while Agew is Central Cushitic, just like Bilen (with whom you must have either the Tigre or Bilen mixed up).
- I removed your comments from the top. One copy on the page is enough (if you want, you can move specific comments up there, too, but there's no need to reduplicate the whole commoent). I don't have time to comment on this fully right now, but let me say that I have an Eritrean friend who refers to his ethnicity as just Tigrinya and not Biher Tigrinya. Furthermore, keep in mind that this is an English article. We have to choose the name that is most used in English, and the name that we found most used (that identified the Biher Tigrinya component, instead of just "Tigray/Tigré") was "Tigray-Tigrinya people." Again, I'll respond in full in a few hours. — ዮም (Yom) | contribs • Talk 16:53, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- For starters, no one disagrees with #1 or #5 (Codex Sinaiticus/Feqade was mistaken). With regards to #s 2 and 3, the official definition isn't what determines what we use for the English article. If you can find a citation of Biher Tigrinya instead of just "Tigrinya," then we can add that to the article for the Eritrean name for the ethnic group, but as I said before, my Eritrean friend didn't say anything about "Biher" when saying that the ethnic group in Eritrea was called Tigrinya. Biher means more "nation" than ethnicity, though. That's why you would say "biher" for land in Ge'ez (e.g. John ze-Bihere Doe - John of the land of Doe). It certainly makes more sense to have some sort of description in front of Tigrinya to distinguish between the language and ethnicity, though (btw, when was this ethnonym created? Why don't Tigrinya-speaking peoples in Eritrea refer to themselves as Tigraway/weyti or Tigaru?). Either way, you need a citation to show that "Biher" is used in conjunction. Still, it shouldn't go at the top of the infobox. I believe it's simply for the English name (or perhaps the native name, in which case it would say "Tigraway/Tigraweyti/Tegaru-Biher Tigrinya" or something like that - maybe "Tigaru-Biher Tigrinya"???) — ዮም (Yom) | contribs • Talk 20:15, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
If official definitions do not determine what you use for the English article, what does? What your Eritrean friend told you? No offense to him or her or you but this "criteria" of yours seems a little flimsy at best. No one says "Ane Tigrigna iye" in Eritrea it is absurd, the correct way to refer to oneself is "ane biher Tigrigna iye". Indeed "Biher" is derived from the Ge'ez word for nation, and the original meaning of nation is not state, but an ethnically homogenous population (as in the Zulu nation who inhabit six states all in all). I am not sure when the term "Biher Tigrigna" was coined, but it was taught in school while under Ethiopian occupation (the nine ethnicities of Eritrea). I admit it is very "academical" and seldom used in an everyday context where expressions like "Hamasienai", "Seroetai" or "deqi khebesa" abound. This brings me to why the Biher-Tigrigna do not call ourselves Tegaru or Tigraway. It would be as inaccurate as calling someone from Tembien "Hamassienai". To be a "Tigraway" doesn't mean ethnicity or tribe to us, it means geography: to be a citizen of the province of Tigray, which we thankfully are not! {{subst:untitled2:15:46, 5 July 2006|188.8.131.52}}
- You haven't explained your recent changes. Until you find a better picture than Yohannes's it should stay up. "Biher-Tigrinya" isn't the name of the ethnic group in English or the ethnic group in Ethiopia, so it shouldn't be used. "Tigray-Tigrinya" is the most widely used name for the two peoples, aside from just Tigray/Tigrayan/Tigrean, which others have deemed offensive. I'll leave the "Biher-Tigrinya" for the name in Eritrea, but it still needs a site and a "fact" tag on it. The title of the page is not "Biher-Tigrinya," though, as that would simply be about Eritrean Tigrinya speakers. Why did you remove the part about traditionally descending from Menilek and Solomon? I'm pretty certain that exists in Eritrea too, as Menilek was supposed to have been born in Hamasien in Eritrea. Don't change the name of everything without getting consensus. As you see above, there has been a consensus for the current name. I'm not simply using what my Eritrean friend told me, but what I've also seen online and elsewhere. If you guys don't call yourself Tigraway, then I'll edit the article to show that only Tigrinya speakers in Tigray do that, but that doesn't mean that the whole article should be called Biher-Tigrinya. It's not what the official term in Eritrea is that matters, but what the most common English use is. Of course, the Eritrean official term should be noted, but not used throughout unless it is also the most common English term (Amarinya is the official term for the Amharic language in Ethiopia, but the name of the article here is Amharic language since that's the most common term in English). — ዮም (Yom) | contribs • Talk • E 16:54, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
The language of Tigrinya and Tigray[edit]
Yom, you may know the answer but anyone else should go ahead if they know. How do the modern boundaries of the Tigray region of Ethiopia relate to the current distribution of Tigrinya speakers. Similarly how do the current boundaries of Tigray relate to the historical boundaries of Tigray. This may or may not clarify a sentence in the article text. --Merhawie 15:56, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Well, Tigray generally contains all of the Tigrinya speakers, but in the Northwest, like Welqayt, Tsegede, and Tselemti, the people are generally Amharic speakers and consider themselves Gonderes. The very far southern part of Tigray Region today includes some areas of Wello with Amharic speakers as well. Other than that, it's accurate. Historically, in the 20th century, the province excluded these lands, but included Afar lands to the east. In medieval times, the province size varied. It could include Seraye and Akkele Guzay (and rarely Hamasien), or not, but it never included Bur along the coast, or the Mitsiwa coast region (first Ma'ikele Bahr, later Bahr Negash lands). It really depends, because for some of the provinces mentioned, it's hard to tell if they were sub-regions of the province or separate provinces, like with Inderta, Seraye, etc. Bahr Negash/Ma'ikele Bahr was generally centered in Hamasien to the coast, but I think it might have included Seraye and Akkele Guzay, it's really hard to tell. It might have included Marya to the north (north of the Bilen), but I think that was a separate province in the 14th century. — ዮም | (Yom) | Talk • contribs • Ethiopia 19:10, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Misconceptions about Jeberti[edit]
I've removed the two statements below regarding the Jebertis, as both are factually false. First off, Muslim Tigrinya speakers (whatever that means) aren't called Biher-Tigrinya as that is insulting to their heritage. Plus they aren't unofficially known as Jebertis. They have ALWAYS been known as Jebertis; and have a long and distinct history that began with the arrival of the companions of Prophet Muhammad to Abyssinia. They were named Jebertis by the Prophet himself (see main Jeberti article) and remained so for more than 1400+ years. There are many Jebertis who lived throughout this time and were known distinctly as Jebertis. One such example of this is the great Egyptian historian Al-Jabarti (meaning the one who is a Jeberti), who was of Jeberti descent. The inclusion of Jebertis is a conspiracy by the government of Eritrea (GOE) to boost the number of Tigrinya Christians. The Tigrinya has always been used to identify Tigrinya-speaking Christians. By adding the Jebertis into the fold, the GOE is then able to maintain the religious balance of 50% Muslims-50% Christians in the country. By count the Jebertis as Muslim on the sole basis of linguistical affiliation, the government is able to claim clamp down on the Muslims and deny them their rights (such as the right to learn their OTHER LANGUAGE Arabic)! The two statements that I removed are:
"In Eritrea, officially, any ethnic Tigrinya is known as Bihér-Tigrinya regardless of their religion."
"In Eritrea, Muslim speakers of Tigrinya are known unofficially as Jebertis."

- Strictly speaking to be a "nationality" you must have a different history. Both Christian and Muslim Tigrinya have the same history. To be a separate ethnic group their ethnicity must be different (e.g. Tigre and Tigrinya), however, as far as all my research shows, they do not fit this definition. In short, a different religion is not enough to be recognized as a separate ethnic or national group (e.g. there are both Christian and Muslim Tigre).
- As to your statement about the government of Eritrea, it is important to note that there is no religious classification given to each ethnic group. Finally, the last approximation of religious groups in Eritrea I have seen said something to the effect that neither major religious grouping (Muslim or Chrisitan) accounts for 50% of the population, both are at least 5% shy.

If you mean physically, though, then there isn't really much difference between a Tigrinya, Tigre, or Bilen woman.

Ancient Axumite rulers spoke Geez and fled to Shoa-Amhara in 900 AD[edit]
Axum, or Aksum, is a city in northern Ethiopia named after the Kingdom of Aksum, a naval and trading power that ruled from the region ca. 1000 BC into the 10th century. The kingdom was occasionally referred to in medieval writings as "Ethiopia".
Located in the Mehakelegnaw Zone of the Tigray Region near the base of the Adwa mountains, the city has an elevation of 2,130 metres. It was the centre of the (eventual) Christian marine trading power the Aksumite Kingdom, which predated the earliest mentions in Roman era writings (around the time of the birth of Jesus) in good correlation to the expansion of Rome into northern Africa, and later when it developed into the Christian kingdom, was a quasi-ally of Byzantium against the day's Persian Empire. The historical record is unclear, primary sources being in the main limited to ancient church records. There are no evidences that Axumites considered themselves as Tigres or Tigreans. They spoke the ancient language of Ethiopia and Eritrea called "Ge'ez" and also Classical Greek. Therefore we must realize that Axum was an independent State which was certainly culturally and ethnically not "Tigrean" but rather cosmopolitic.
It is believed it began a long slow decline after the 7th century due partly to Islamic groups contesting trade routes. Eventually Aksum was cut off from its principal markets in Alexandria, Byzantium and Southern Europe and its trade share was captured by Arab traders of the era. The Kingdom of Aksum also quarreled with Islamic groups over religion. Eventually the people of Aksum were forced south into Shoa and their civilization declined. As the kingdom's power declined so did the influence of the city, which is believed to have lost population in the decline similar to Rome and other cities thrust away from the flow of world events. The last known (nominal) king to reign was crowned ca. 10th century, but the kingdom's influence and power ended long before that.
Its decline in population and trade then contributed to the shift of the power centre of the Ethiopian Empire so that it moved further inland and bequeathed its alternative place name (Ethiopia) to the region, and eventually, the modern state. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 02:38, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Poem introduction
'Green Lane' was commissioned for National Poetry Day. The subject was 'identity' or the identity of the south east of England. I wrote the poem in the voice of a green lane, and the voice seemed to offer a sort of reconciliation between man and nature.

Green Lane
Green Lane
Though you've cut me with lay-bys and ring-roads,
where once droves of cattle pounded my back,
though you think I'm silenced, my voice still churrs
from sheltering hedges. I knot my roots into yours.
I'm your ditch of sandstone, your mess of goosegrass,
unreeling over downs, a gap in the may.
Come into me now when rain falls on a green morning.
I won't trickle away, dead end to a building site.
No, I'll hang a gate between the forest and mist.
You'll lift the latch, walk me, through gorse, to the sea.
