= = = Ibrahim Hamidi = = =
Ibrahim Hamidi (; also transliterated Ebrahim Humaydi) is a Syrian journalist, who heads the Damascus bureau of Arab daily newspaper "Al-Hayat", and contributes to several other international media outlets and think tanks. Previously, he served as head of the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation (LBC) office in Damascus, in addition to his work with al-Hayat, and as a senior writer for "Forward Magazine" in Damascus. Hamidi's work focuses on strategic issues in the Middle East, with special insight into Syria's internal and regional politics. He is also a Research Fellow and co-founder of the Syrian Studies Center at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. Hamidi is also a co-founder of the Arab Investigative Journalism Program (ARIJ).
Hamidi was married to writer and novelist Dima Wannous.
Hamidi was born in 1969 in Idlib Governorate. His father worked as a truck driver and died in a car accident when Hamidi was three years old. During his childhood, Hamidi's family only support cam through donations and charity from friends and neighbors. In 1986, Hamidi was able to move to Damascus to study journalism at Damascus University through a government stipend. His English professor at the time, Abdullah Dardari, was also a correspondent for the London-based Arab daily "al-Hayat". Dardari, who later became Deputy Prime Minister of Syria in 2005, helped Hamidi find work as a secretary at his al-Hayat bureau in Damascus.
Hamidi replaced Dardari as al-Hayat correspondent when the latter left to work for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). His 1996 coverage of the Arab League Summit in Cairo and the US presidential election, was highly acclaimed and helped bring him to a prominent place between Syrian journalists. Hamidi also delved into the Kurdish issue, interviewing Abdullah Öcalan, leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). Syrian authorities responded by suspending his journalism credentials but he continued to meet and interview Kurdish politicians, most of whom, like Jalal Talbani and Massoud Barzani, rose to power in Iraq after downfall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. Hamidi also conducted interviews with high-profile Palestinian leaders including Fathi Shaqaqi, head of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine who was assassinated in Malta days after his interview with al-Hayat, his successor Ramadan Shalah, and Khaled Mashal, head of the political bureau of Hamas. As an independent correspondent his credentials have been suspended by the Syrian government several times.
Hamidi's coverage of the Syrian-Israeli peace talks in Shepherdstown aroused significant controversy. His outline of “the working document”, appeared dangerously similar to the actual agreement. The Israeli press immediately pursued the story, saying that Hamidi had leaked the information on orders from the Syrians. The Syrian team, on the other hand, accused him of leaking it through information obtained from the Americans. The talks, code-named “Mushroom Diplomacy,” were supposed to be strictly confidential and allowed to grow—similar to mushrooms—in darkness.
Hamidi went on to cover the death of Syrian President Hafez al-Assad and the subsequent inauguration of his son Bashar al-Assad as president. His coverage of the following period, known as the Damascus Spring, and his interviews with Syrian opposition figures earned him the reprimand of the Syrian government and his journalist credentials were suspended several times. In 2002 he reported on Syria's preparations for the Iraq War. The government accused him of spreading "false information" and he was arrested on 23 December 2002. He remained in solitary confinement until 25 May 2003 and was later acquitted in court in 2005.

= = = Richard Woodward (organist) = = =
Richard Woodward the younger (c.1743/44 – 22 November 1777) was an Irish composer and organist, probably of English birth.
Woodward was probably born in Salisbury and became a choirboy of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, in 1751, following the appointment of his father (of the same name) from Salisbury to the Dublin cathedral choir as a lay vicar choral. In 1764 Woodward was awarded a gold medal by the Hibernian Catch Club (which has been referred to as the oldest surviving musical society in Europe) for his canon "Let the Words of My Mouth", which is inscribed on his memorial at Christ Church Cathedral. In 1771, Trinity College conferred upon him the degree of MusD.
At the age of 22, in 1765, Woodward was appointed organist at Christ Church Cathedral as successor to George Walsh and choral vicar at St Patrick's Cathedral. His memorial records that he was "Preceptor to the Children of the two Choirs, Dublin." He died in Dublin aged 33.
Woodward was a composer of Anglican church music. His folio of glees and anthems formed the first collection of cathedral music published by an Irish composer. Woodward's compositions include Anglican chants, a service in B flat and seven anthems. Numerous works are contained in a folio of cathedral music, Opus 3, dedicated to Archbishop Smyth, which was printed by Peter Welcker of London in 1771. "Although Woodward's output is modest, it establishes him as one of the foremost Irish cathedral composers of the eighteenth century."

= = = List of mountains of the Alps above 3000 m = = =
This page contains a table listing by elevation all 537 mountains of the Alps that exceed 3000 m and have a topographic prominence of at least 300 m. The list is continued down to 2500 m elevation on this page and down to 2000 m elevation on this page. All of these mountains are located in France, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany or Slovenia. The list includes all 44 ultra-prominent peaks of the Alps, with 19 ultras over 3000m on this page.
The Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme defines a summit in the Alps as independent, if the connecting ridge between it and a higher summit drops at least 30 m (a prominence/drop of 30 m, with the lowest point referred to as the "key col"). There are over 3300 such summits exceeding 2500 m in Switzerland alone. In order for a peak to qualify as an independent mountain, traditionally a prominence of at least 300 m, or 10 times the aforementioned criterion value, has been used. Inclusion based on prominence is expedient for its objectivity and verifiability, but has its drawbacks. For example, an impressive mountain peak dominating a valley may be connected via long high ridges to a barely higher hidden summit. Among the better-known peaks absent from this list are Aiguille du Dru (due to Aiguille Verte), Dent du Géant (Grandes Jorasses), Mont Blanc de Cheilon (Ruinette), Nadelhorn and Täschhorn (Dom), Piz d'Err (Piz Calderas), Piz Badile (Piz Cengalo), Piz Palü (Piz Zupo), Similaun (Hintere Schwarze), Crozzon di Brenta (Cima Tosa), and Cimon della Pala (Cima Vezzana).
All mountain heights and prominences on the list are from the largest-scale maps available.
However, heights often conflict on different topographic maps, even when created by the same cartographic institution. For example, the Fletschhorn is indicated to be 3993, 3982, and 3984.5 m high on the 1:100,000, 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 Swisstopo map, respectively. The (rounded) elevation of the latter map is used in this table.
