I tried reading it but it doesn't make much sense. It looks to me it's the Dutch article but put through a bad online translator. Maybe everything after the introduction should be trashed.

The name "Blauvelt" is that of a prominent family that settled in the area in the 18th century. It is a Dutch name that came into use nearly 150 years before the first Blauvelts came to the New World. The etymology of the name probably comes from the coat of arms adopted by the first Blauvelt, Pieter Blauwveld, a prominent trader in the Netherlands. Literally, it means "blue-field," likely a reference to the blue and yellow shields hung on Pieter's ships (a common 14th century Dutch method of identifying the owner). The first Blauvelt in America was a peasant farmer who worked on Kiliaen VanRensselaer's estate cultivating tobacco, in 1638.

'''Flavius Petronius Maximus'''<ref>[[Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire]] II.749</ref> (c. 396 - 22 April 455), was a [[Roman Empire|Roman]] aristocrat, and briefly [[Western Roman Emperor]] from 17 March 455 to 31 May 455.
Petronius was of [[Roman Senate|senatorial rank]]. His earliest known office was ''[[praetor]]'', held about 411; around 415 he served as a ''[[tribunus]] et [[notarius]]'', which was an entry position to the imperial bureaucracy, and led to his serving as ''[[Comes]] sacrarum largitionum'' (Count of the Sacred Largess) between 416 and 419, as well as [[Urban Prefect]] between the years 419 and 433. In 433, he was [[Roman consul|consul]], in 439 [[Praetorian Prefect]] of [[Italia (Roman province)|Italy]], and in 443 he was [[Roman consul|consul]] a second time. When he was granted the title of [[Patrician (ancient Rome)|Patrician]] in 445, he was briefly the most honored of all non-Imperial Romans, until the third consulate of [[Flavius Aëtius|Aëtius]], generalissimo of the Western empire, the following year.

After the first ascent of Mt Kenya there were fewer expeditions there for a while. The majority of the exploration until after the [[First World War]] was by [[settler]]s in Kenya, who were not on scientific expeditions. A [[Church of Scotland]] [[mission (Christian)|mission]] was set up in [[Chogoria]], and several [[Scottish people|Scottish]] missionaries ascended to the peaks, including [[John Arthur|Rev Dr. J. W. Arthur]], G. Dennis and A. R. Barlow. There were other ascents, but none succeeded in summitting Batian or Nelion.<ref name=mck/>
  +
  +
New approach routes were cleared through the forest, which made access to the peaks area far easier. In 1920, Arthur and Sir Fowell Buxton tried to cut a route in from the south, and other routes came in from [[Nanyuki]] in the north, but the most commonly used was the route from the Chogoria mission in the east, built by Ernest Carr. Carr is also credited with building Urumandi and Top Huts.<ref name=mck/>
On 6 January 1929 the first ascent of Nelion was made by [[Percy Wyn-Harris]] and [[Eric Shipton]]. They climbed the Normal Route, then descended to the Gate of Mists before ascending Batian. On the 8 January they reascended, this time with G. A. Sommerfelt, and in December Shipton made another ascent with R. E. G. Russell. They also made the first ascent of Point John. During this year the [[Mountain Club of East Africa]] was formed.<ref name=mck/>

The British were to take an airborne assault on the River Orne. The British objective was to secure the Orne River bridges; first to prevent German armor from using them cross the river and disrupt the landings; second to hold them against destruction by the retreating Germans so that they could be used by Allied armor and logistics as the invasion moved inland. The British amphibious assault units would attack through Sword and Gold Beaches. The United States had two airborne divisions and land units which were to take [[Omaha beach]], [[Pointe du Hoc]] and [[Utah Beach]]es. The Canadians would team up with Spanish units to attack [[Sword Beach]]. Also, the British and Canadians had separate beaches [[Gold Beach]] and [[Juno Beach]], respectively.
+
The British and Canadians were to undertake an airborne and amphibious assault on the right flank of the planned invasion area. The British airborne division, with an attached Canadian parachute battalion, would be dropped near the Orne river; their objective was to secure two bridges, north of Caen, one over the Orne and the other over the Caen canal to allow rapid exploitation across the river by the invading forces. Additional objectives included destroying other key bridges and the Mervell Battery overlooking [[Sword Beach]]. The amphibious landing would be made by three divisions; the British 3rd Infantry Division, along with British and Free French Army Commandos, would land at Sword Beach, the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division, supported by British forces, would land at [[Juno Beach]], while the 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division would assault [[Gold Beach]]. The Americans would also launch an airborne and amphibious assault with two airborne divisions landing behind [[Utah Beach]], three infantry divisions would assault Utah Beach (at the western end of the invasion zone) and [[Omaha Beach]]. Additionally American Army Rangers would assault [[Pointe du Hoc]] to the west of Omaha.
The Invasion Fleet was drawn from eight different navies comprising warships and submarines, split into the Western Naval Task Force (Rear-Admiral [[Alan G Kirk]]) and the Eastern Naval Task Force (Rear-Admiral Sir [[Philip Vian]]). The fleet was overall led by Admiral Sir [[Bertram Ramsay]].

*'''''Couch Potato''''', where a panellist from each team sits on a [[lounge chair]] and is interviewed by McDermott in a mock psychiatrist-type session. The interview consists of a word association section, followed by McDermott suggesting to "go a little deeper" with questions ranging from quite random to more personal.

*'''''Clash Of The Titans''''', in which a panellist from each team face off over questions about news, politics and entertainment, where they must cry their own name as their buzzer. However, panellists often challenge this rule and end up using nicknames to match up the number of syllables in each panellist's buzzer (as with "Wardo" and "Scottie" in a round between [[Felicity Ward]] and [[Denise Scott]]), or comically long titles and words (such as [[Adam Spencer|Adam Spencer's]] use of "Adam Barington Spencer" or [[Colin Lane|Colin Lane's]] "disestablishmentarianism").

*'''''7 Things For The Bin''''', where the panellists sit around a rubbish bin and rant about a news story which they never want to hear of again, then "bin" the story by throwing their magazine and newspaper props into the bin. However, this often extends to any topic annoying the panellist. Despite its name, McDermott only occasionally contributes a seventh "thing" for the bin.

*'''''Kevin Rudd's Fast Money''''', the concluding game of the show played against a timer, where teams alternate answering questions about stories of the week until the last question which is thrown open to either team. The game was originally called "Dirty Sexy Fast Money" but was changed in 2009 in reference to [[Rudd Government|Kevin Rudd's economic stimulus package]].

*'''''Tiger Woods' Fast Money''''', the concluding game of the show played against a timer, where teams alternate answering questions about stories of the week until the last question which is thrown open to either team. The name of the game refers to [[Tiger Wood|Tiger Wood's adultery scandal]]. Previously, the game has been named "Dirty Sexy Fast Money" (2008 series) and "Kevin Rudd's Fast Money" (2009 series, in reference to [[Rudd Government|Kevin Rudd's economic stimulus package]]).

Commonwealth armies: - More on Canada

In the [[British Army]] and armies modelled on it (such as the [[Australian Army|Australian]], the [[Canadian Forces Land Force Command|Canadian]], the [[Indian Army|Indian]] and the [[Pakistan Army|Pakistani]]), the term ''regiment'' is used confusingly in two different ways: it can mean an administrative identity and grouping or a tactical unit. The modern British regimental system came about as a result of the 19th century [[Cardwell Reforms]].

In the United Kingdom, there existed until recently a number of administrative "divisions" in the infantry that encompassed several regiments, such as the Guards Division, the former Scottish Division (now a single regiment), or the Light Division (now also compressed into a multi-battalion single regiment). The down-sizing and consolidation of British infantry regiments that began in the late 1950s and concluded in 2006 has resulted in a system of administrative regiments each with several battalions, a band, a common badge and uniform etc.
+
In other Commonwealth countries such as India, Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand and Canada the large administrative regiment has been the normal practice for many years. In the case of India "large regiments" of four to five battalions date from 1923 and since the 1950s many of these have expanded even further. As an example the Punjab Regiment has expanded from four battalions in 1956 to its present strength of 20, while in Pakistan several regiments have over 50 battalions.

More typically of Commonwealth armies with smaller establishments, in Australia there is but one administrative infantry regiment in the regular army, the [[Royal Australian Regiment]], consisting of all eight regular infantry battalions in the Army, including mechanised, motorised, light, commando and parachute infantry. The [[Australian Army Reserve]] also has state-based infantry regiments which administer the reserve infantry battalions.
+
In Canada, the regiment is a formation of one or more like units employed almost exclusively for reasons of heritage, the continuance of [[battle honor]]s and ''espit de corps''. Most Canadian infantry regiments are [[Military reserve force|reserve]] units composed entirely of one under-strength [[battalion]] of between 100-250 soldiers. The three regular force infantry regiments each consist of three regular force battalions of approximately 750 soldiers, in addition to one or more reserve battalions. Canadian battalions are employed tactically and administratively within [[Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group]]s for regular units, or light [[Canadian Brigade Group]]s for reserve units.

In Pakistan the word regiment is an administrative grouping. While different battalions may have different roles (for example different battalions of the Frontier Force Regiment may be mechanized infantry, para infantry or mountain troops) the regiment is considered to encompass all of them.

In the [[British Army]], for most purposes, the regiment is the largest "permanent" organisational unit. Above regimental level, organisation is changed to meet the tasks at hand. Because of their permanent nature, many regiments have long histories, often going back for centuries: the oldest British regiment still in existence is the [[Honourable Artillery Company]], established in 1537. The [[Royal Scots]], formed in 1633, was the oldest [[infantry]] regiment. It now forms part of the [[Royal Regiment of Scotland]].<ref>These claims are contested on various points of precedence; see [http://regiments.org/about/faq.htm FAQ: Regiments, in general] and especially: [http://regiments.org/about/faq/oldest.htm FAQ: Oldest Regiment in the British Army]</ref>

In the British regimental system the tactical regiment or battalion is the basic functional unit and its commanding officer more autonomous than in continental systems. Divisional and brigade commanders generally do not immerse themselves in the day-to-day functioning of a battalion – they can replace the commanding officer but will not micro-manage the unit. The [[regimental sergeant major]] is another key figure, responsible to the CO for unit discipline and the behaviour of the NCOs.
