US flights to Fort Myers and Miami
Whoever posted this, I thought they stopped these US Airways flights. They are no longer on the route map. Maybe I'm missing something? Bcamp09 (talk) 21:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Whoever posted it is incorrect. US only flies to PHL and CLT from MIA and only to PHL, CLT, and DCA from RSW.  You are correct in thinking both routes were discontinued. NW036 (talk) 21:35, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Former airlines having gate info
I'd like to remove the gate information from the former airlines section. I don't think we're going to find good sources for it, and I think it's a little excessive for detail. --Matt (talk) 14:49, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree. Who cares where former airlines USED to be in the airport. I think gate info in general is too detailed and always leads to arguments. I say remove all of it from the article. Bcamp09 (talk) 22:12, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Midwest Connect to Kansas City?
Do they still fly this? I tried to book it on the website and the nonstop is gone! Bcamp09 (talk) 03:12, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

The Northwest 747-200 was a passenger charter used for a mission trip, see Airliners.net Whats Going on at PIT Part 6. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.120.184.152 (talk) 01:16, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

it was a plane chartered for the world youth day gig with the pope72.77.109.177 (talk) 02:54, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

A11
Southwest had A Arrival and Departure At A11 on 7/23 how is that possible with it being closed off? Also There is a rumor that southwest will move to the end of B and they will close of A totally. Reply 71.240.2.138 (talk) 02:05, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Who put the "ends in 2009" thing next to San Francisco under US Airways?
I don't think it is true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.77.92.197 (talk) 19:06, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

 * From looking at the edit history, you can tell it was 152.132.10.134. I'll look around and see if it's true. --Matt (talk) 20:17, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Which gates are closed on A and B
Can someone who works at the airport or knows the answer to this question, please tell me exactly which gates on A and B are closed? Bcamp09 (talk) 20:46, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm almost certain the gates that are closed are A11, A13, & A15-A25 on the "A" Concourse, and B38-B50 on the "B" concourse. I believe it's 13 gates on each. (Jrw91284 (talk) 18:26, 18 November 2008 (UTC))

US DCA-PIT
I thought it was only necessary to list departure destinations, not arrival ones. In this situation, US Airways flies mainline DCA-PIT, but hasn't flown PIT-DCA on mainline for awhile. Is it still acceptable to leave DCA as a destination in the mainline section? Bcamp09 (talk) 11:24, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

 * It's actually quite unusual to only have mainline service in one direction of a route, but not the other. In my opinion, DCA should remain in the mainline listing, especially considering how often US Airways is changing its service in/out of PIT. Jrw91284 (talk) 18:50, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

cleanup
From the last time I saw the page, the destination and gate section has become a lot messier and harder to follow. Regional carriers, eg. United Express, should not be listed just like a regular airline, and the way the gates are placed it is harder to follow. Either someone should go back and change it, or maybe change how wikipedia project avaition is doing things, but I would rather not get involved and start an edit war. TravelCRAZED (talk) 23:14, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Feeling is mutual. Once I first saw the new version, it was a "Huh??" moment. As much as I wanted to change it back to the previous version, I also fear an edit war. -- Weatherman1126  (  talk  ) 23:51, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I disagree. The gate info is separate and less.. "in the way". And it looks more streamlined. Look at LAX's page for example. The only downside to this whole thing is the fact that PIT has so many Delta connection carriers its not even funny. Bcamp09 (talk) 00:56, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

I worked out a new layout that keeps the streamline look that is similar to LAX's page, but places the airlines' mainline flights and regional carrier flights into a hierarchy. I think the new layout looks much more organized and is easier to read than either of the 2 previous versions. I too don't want to begin an edit war; but I do think this new layout is a good compromise of the different views in this discussion (and it better organizes all of the regional carriers of Delta, United, and US Airways. Jrw91284 (talk) 22:18, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

why is the delta paris service under concourse D? shouldn't it be under concourse c which handles all international flights?
concourse c handles all the flights to cancun, montego bay, and punta cana

I think it would be okay to change, because eventually the airplane will be operated out of C for the departure and arrival, they probably won't tow it from C to D from an arrival to a departure. But we'll see.. Bcamp09 (talk) 21:39, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Delta's Paris arrivals will definitely be handled in Concourse C, but it is very possible that the departures will still be from Concourse D at Delta's current gates. While it sounds illogical, many U.S. air carriers operate international arrivals and departures from separate areas. In Chicago, for example, all international arrivals are processed in Terminal 5, yet United and American still operate their international departures from their respective "domestic" terminals, 1 and 3. USA 3000 operates all their international departures and arrivals from Concourse C at PIT because 75% of their destinations are international, so it just makes sense for them to have their gate lease agreement in Concourse C. Delta/Northwest is the opposite. If Delta chooses not to lease a gate in Concourse C for the Paris flight, they will have to pay the airport authority between $250 and $500 per flight segment to use an international gate. Jrw91284 (talk) 21:52, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Someone made a change indicating that the Delta Paris flight will use Gate C59. When was this announced? Jrw91284 (talk) 19:45, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

It wasn't, Delta probably wouldn't announce that until very close to the start date or even when it starts. It's not like there's a shortage of international gates or anything. Bcamp09 (talk) 03:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Since we don't know yet know what Delta and the airport authority are going to do, is it possible that the Delta Paris flight could be listed under either Concourse C or D, rather than both. It seems a little redundant to list it under both. Other airport articles list their destinations under the terminal/concourse from which the flight departs only. Considering there is a subheading under "Concourse C" explaining international arrivals, it is understood that the Paris flight will arrive there, regardless of where it departs. Jrw91284 (talk) 06:12, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Virgin America
I've removed twice a statement about Virgin America considering Pittsburgh as a possible destination. It doesn't sound like there is a concrete plan to do this in the near future, and so I think it is overkill to mention in the article - a startup airline might be considering every commercial airport in America in its long term goals, but that doesn't mean every article has to say this. I think we can add it when there's a start date or commitment, not when an article mentions that PIT is under consideration (along with most of the other major US airports). --Matt (talk) 02:01, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Agreed, because they basically did announce every major airport in the country for their five year (I think?) outlook. But with current conditions in the economy and that fact that they can't even get O'Hare service to start, I doubt Pittsburgh is being considered right now. They do fly as Direct Air though to Myrtle Beach from here. Maybe they'll take that into consideration for starting service. Who knows, it's probably too far away to see anyway. Take it out. Bcamp09 (talk) 03:37, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Most airport articles have listed the possibility of Virgin America starting service, but it's true that few of them have resulted in concrete plans. Just a sidenote: Virgin America's inability to start service in Chicago wasn't due so much to the bad economy, but because they could not secure the gate space in the already crowded O'Hare Airport. Furthermore, O'Hare is already a large hub for both American and United, which are much larger airlines than Virgin America, and neither wanted a new airline coming in and taking away their passengers. PIT would probably be more attractive since it is not a hub for any airline and there would be far less competition for Virgin. Jrw91284 (talk) 06:22, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

delta and northwest merging ticket counters and gates
is this happening and if not when —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.240.0.180 (talk) 19:44, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * They are in the process of consoldating gates and ticket counters at various airports around the US. Remember that they are still seperate carriers so do not list NWA destinations to Delta Air Lines, just keep them under the same terminal/concourse. DL and NWA are already together at this airport in Concourse D. Cashier freak (talk) 03:14, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Not really. NW is going to ditch their gates and the combined DL/NW will take over D82 and D84 so that they are all on the same side. Bcamp09 (talk) 22:34, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Bcamp09, I totally agree, also they will get D86 and American win take D87 and direct air and midwest will take over D85, leaving D81, D83 unoccupied 71.240.2.67 (talk) 00:33, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

The date they are to merge operations in Pittsburgh is March 10 I believe. NW036 (talk) 20:25, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * They will not merge into one airline yet by March 10 since NWA will still have a seperate certificate by that time. Merging of the 2 airlines will take around this time next year to be completed. I hope you only mean just consolidating gates and ticket counters here. See discussion at WP:AIRPORTS and it was decided that DL and NWA are to be listed seperately until operating certificates are merged. Cashier freak (talk) 23:29, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I believe NW036 was talking about the gate and ticket counter consolidation. Follow along on the What's Going On At PIT discussion on airliners.net and you will know what's going on. Bcamp09 (talk) 20:17, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I know. I thought he was saying that NWA and DL will operate as one airline at PIT. But someone just put NWA destinations under Delta. Yes, NWA will use Delta's ticket counters and gates at PIT but will continue to operate as a seperate carrier. Cashier freak (talk) 20:57, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't we put them under Delta as a Delta Airlines operated by Northwest Airlines like we did when America West and US Airways' operating certificates still hadn't merged yet? Bcamp09 (talk) 11:33, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No. There is a discussion of this at WP:AIRPORTS, and it was decided that as long as DL and NW are operating under seperate certificates, they should be listed seperately until the airlines are merged. Cashier freak (talk) 04:12, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

NWA is now using gates D82 and D84 as of today. It is still operating seperately at those gates. Cashier freak (talk) 23:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

USA 3000
USA 3000 is starting to fly to Philly from Pittsburgh a few days a week. I got the email. They also fly to Chicago Ohare, Detroit and Cincinnati also. Shouldnt this be as thier destinations??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bau1481 (talk • contribs) 00:27, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

You're right they do. Look at the timetable on their website.. Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, and Philadelphia. I'm adding them in. Bcamp09 (talk) 19:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Are we sure about this though? I tried to book the CVG flight out of curiosity and when I clicked next available date, it jumped to a date in June and said that the flight was full.  I don't think these are regularly operated flights. NW036 (talk) 00:40, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

I didn't see any flights listed on the schedule for CVG.. but i tried to book Philly and all the flights are $49 a few times a week. Bcamp09 (talk) 02:47, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

yeah i checked it out they are very rare and are not regulary operated i tried to book a flight between pittsburgh and phl for march and the closest date it gave me was april 15

Delta and Northwest
Now that Delta and Northwest have combined combined operations at PIT. Does NWA need to stay as a seperate carrier there or should its destinations be listed as "Delta". They did indeed move to gates D82 and D84 per flight status stats at NWA.com but an IP merged the NWA destinations with DL. I am confused whether not "merge operations" means that NWA no longer exists at that airport or NW flights are still seperate (its just operating at DL gates or close to its). Please correct my edit if necessary. Thanks! Cashier freak (talk) 00:20, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ground operation is not the same thing as flight operation. As long as the flights are separate (even if they use the same gates and ground staff), they are still separate. HkCaGu (talk) 04:32, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

isn't Delta now the #2 top airline since they merged with NWA?
It seems like they have passed SWA up as the #2 cause delta currently has an average of 32 flights and SWA has 22 72.77.92.197 (talk) 19:58, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone know how the passengers arriving from Delta's Paris flights go through customs? I checked flight status and Delta says flight 189 arrives in concourse D?
If it pulls in concourse D how do they make sure people go through customs? customs is in concourse C so this is very confusing to me —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.146.68.241 (talk) 14:16, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

I think they take all of the passengers over to C and down to the customs and then they go from there. It could just be an error, they could actually be pulling into C.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Golfj21 (talk) 19:55, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

It was an error. FlightStats.com has been indicating that the flight is arriving at Gate C61 most days, then apparently moving over to Concourse D (usually Gate D78) for departure. Jrw91284 (talk) 03:30, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Your right Jrw91284. Flight stats has it arriving at C61 then moving to D76 for departure as DL 249 to Atlanta. The pattern of the plane is ATL-PIT(D78)-CDG-PIT(C61 then to D76)-ATL... Delta Flights 248-188-189-249 --Golfj21 (talk) 19:13, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Gate C61
Since DL 189 arrives daily to C61, should it be listed as a gate for them under Concourse C or added after the gates listed with their destinations in D, Not even listed at all? --Golfj21 (talk) 01:50, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Note has already been made saying that flights from CDG arrive at Gate C61 but flights continue to depart from Concourse D. Also, it is already noted that international arrivals are at Concourse C under the header "International Arrivals". Charmedaddict (talk)

USA 3000
Someone should check the end dates on the USA 3000 service. I just checked their timetable, and it seems that the CUN and PUJ service ends around the same time that the timetable is valid for, meaning that they will probably have more service beyond the end dates, they just haven't set a timetable for it yet. The RSW service looks like it is ending, though that seems a little bit odd, and should be verified, and it still seems that there is limited, though infrequent, service to PHL still. Someone with more knowledge about the airline should look into it, because I do not want to be the cause of an edit war. TravelCRAZED (talk) 04:40, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

International nonstops-- when?
We ought to try to figure out when PIT got its first nonstop international flight, and when it got its first nonstop transatlantic flight. I don't even know whether TW ever had a transatlantic nonstop -- anybody got a timetable showing one? Tim Zukas (talk) 18:42, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

No international nonstops show in the 2/71 OAG; the next one I have is 8/73, in which Nordair is flying 737s Montreal to Hamilton to PIT. nybody know of an international nonstop before that?

TWA's timetable for summer 1981 shows the PIT-LGW nonstop thrice weekly (started in May 1981). That was the first transatlantic? Tim Zukas (talk) 18:07, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Sun Air Express/Southern Airways Express
Why was Sun Air Express, which was recently purchased by Southern Airways Express, removed from under the Airlines and Destination section? After a short and summary search on Sun Air Express's website, one can still purchase round trip tickets for example from Lancaster (LNS) to Pittsburgh (PIT). I have found no sources to suggest that Sun Air Express has ceased operations or closed their hub at Pittsburgh International Airport. In fact after searching flypittsburgh.com under all departures and arrivals, I found numerous Sun Air Express flights departing and arriving from gate C52. Tmkeck1 (talk) 20:49, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

List of Bronx neighborhoods

This article features a list of neighborhoods in the Bronx, one of the five boroughs of New York City.

When using this article, note that names of many (but not all) neighborhoods in the Bronx are popular based on their historical pedigree and the livability factor. However, this is not true for all neighborhoods in the Bronx; while someone living at East 213th Street & White Plains Road might prefer to describe their location simply as "Gun Hill Road" (a nearby thoroughfare) rather than "Williamsbridge". Other neighborhood names have greater popularity. For example, Riverdale was once home to John F. Kennedy and is known for its affluence, large mansions, and proximity to amenities. Throggs Neck has a bridge named for it and the neighborhood is known for waterfront beach communities located on the Long Island Sound.

Regions of the Bronx
Generally speaking, there are two major systems of dividing the Bronx into regions, which often conflict with one another. One is based on the Bronx River while the other strictly separate South Bronx from the rest of the borough. The older of the two systems is based on the Bronx River and is arguably a more accurate reflection of the area's history:

 * West Bronx: all parts of the Bronx west of the Bronx River (as opposed to Jerome Avenue – this street is simply the "east-west" divider for designating numbered streets as "east" or "west." As the Bronx's numbered streets continue from Manhattan to south, on which the street numbering system is based, Jerome Avenue actually represents a longitudinal halfway point for Manhattan, not the Bronx.)
 * East Bronx: all parts of the Bronx east of the Bronx River (as opposed to Jerome Avenue)

The Bronx River divides the borough nearly perfectly in half, putting the earlier-settled, more urban, and hillier sections in the western lobe and the newer, more suburbanesque coastal sections in the eastern lobe. It is an accurate reflection on the Bronx's history considering that the towns that existed in the area prior to annexation to the City of New York generally did not straddle the Bronx River. In addition, what is today the Bronx was annexed to New York City in two stages: areas west of the Bronx River were annexed in 1874 while areas to the east of the river were annexed in 1895.

Using this system, the Bronx can be further divided into the following regions:

 * Northwest Bronx: the northern half of the West Bronx; the area north of Fordham road and west of the Bronx River

Araneta City

Araneta City (stylized in all lowercase), formerly and still commonly known as Araneta Center, is a 35 ha transit oriented, commercial mixed-use urban development in Quezon City, Philippines. Situated in Barangay Socorro in Cubao, and at the intersection of two major roads, Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) and Aurora Boulevard, the area offers retail, dining, entertainment, residential, office, lodging and parking facilities throughout the complex and hosts over 1 million people daily, due to its close proximity to transport terminals, including the railway stations of the MRT Line 3 and the LRT Line 2.

Located within the complex are key structures such as the Gateway Mall, the Araneta Coliseum, the New Frontier Theater, Ali Mall, Farmers Market, and Farmers Plaza. The entire complex is owned by ACI, Inc., a subsidiary of the Araneta Group, who also serves as the developer and manager of the commercial area. ACI, Inc. is also currently in charge of spearheading a redevelopment master plan after years of delays and issues, which aims to transform the area into a "garden city" and consists of additional buildings, shopping malls, and other high-rise facilities within the complex, set to be completed within 2030.

Early history
The 35 ha property where the Araneta City, formerly named Araneta Center, is located in Quezon City, and was purchased by J. Amado Araneta in 1952, after the family's mansion in Taft Avenue, Manila was destroyed during the Battle of Manila in 1945. The land stood on bedrock, and has an elevation level of 43 meters, which is the highest point of the Metro Manila, located between Highway 54 (now Epifanio de los Santos Avenue), Aurora Boulevard, and P. Tuazon Boulevard; and along Gen. Romulo Avenue. As of 1959, the area was remote and located in an area designated for suburban mass housing and frequented by Hukbalahap rebels. The original owner of the property was the Radio Corporation of America (RCA).

In 1953, Araneta initially only purchased 4 ha of land from RCA, where he built his residence, which would become known as the "Bahay na Puti" (White House). It was in 1955 that Araneta purchased the remaining 31 ha from the RCA. After purchasing the land, Araneta envisioned the area as a potential mixed-use area.

In 1956, Araneta sold a portion of the property to the Philippine National Bank which proceeded to set up a branch in the area. On the same year, the first Aguinaldo Department Store, a well-known retailer established its first branch beyond Manila. Araneta's Progressive Development Corporation (PDC) relocated its offices from Plaza Cervantes in Binondo, Manila to the Araneta Enterprise Building along Aurora Avenue. PDC would be later tasked to develop the Araneta Coliseum.

In the following years after the opening of the Araneta Coliseum in 1960, rapid development took place in the area. From the 1960s until the 1980s, there was a construction boom around the complex, and the area became a bustling entertainment and leisure hub, with the creation of the first strip mall in the country composed of 147 stores, located along Aurora Boulevard, and the creation of Ali Mall, SM Cubao, Fiesta Carnival (later the site of a Shopwise hypermarket), Plaza Fair, New Frontier Theater, Rustan's Superstore, National Book Store Superbranch, COD Department Store, Matsuzakaya Department Store and Matsuzakaya House, Uniwide Cubao, Farmers Plaza, Farmer's Market, and the Aurora Tower. The developments around the complex caused the area to prosper over the years and competed with other business districts in the Metro, such as Manila, the Makati Central Business District, the Greenhills Center, and the Ortigas Center.

The Araneta City and the surrounding areas also served as the home of many movie theaters such as the Nation Cinerama, Quezon Theater, Cinema 21, Sampaguita Theater, ACT Theater, Ocean Theater, Diamond Theater, Remar Theater, Alta Cinema, and Coronet Theater. Many of these establishments however have been closed by the end of the 1990s, with the buildings either repurposed for commercial purposes or demolished to give way to future developments due to the introduction of the home entertainment system and the creation of in-house movie theaters inside the shopping malls in the Metro that led to lesser patronage to these movie theaters.

It was during the late 1980s where the complex began losing steam and encountered numerous problems within its properties, from the Farmers Plaza fire to the coups against the Presidency of Corazon Aquino, the Araneta Group also faced numerous uncertainties and rising competition from newer mixed-use developments with more advantageous locations within Manila and Ninoy Aquino International Airport. The following problems created an urban decay within the area, a capital slump within the Araneta Group's finances, and neglecting their buildings, causing rising crime rates and low business opportunities, prompting the Araneta group to temporarily use their capital to maintain the properties within the area, and halt their future plans and proposals to upgrade the area's potential and other big-scale redevelopment plans within the area. One noted planned development is the "Manhattan Tower" project, a mixed-use, high-rise development with retail and residential facilities. The problem also caused the Araneta Group to strengthen its key subsidiaries to finance the company's future projects.

Redevelopment
During the construction of the MRT Line 3 along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) in 1996, the Araneta Group saw the potential opportunity to revamp the complex and proposed plans to once again begin its redevelopment plans and push the company's plans for long-term development. The redevelopment dream was further titillated in the aftermath of the construction of the LRT Line 2 a year later, and prompted J. Amado's son, Jorge L. Araneta to launch a multi-phase master plan to reinvigorate their long-waited vision. In January 1997, plans were also laid out to create a joint venture partnership with Ayala Land and Atok-Big Wedge Co. to push for the area's revival and redevelopment, which is expected to be worth ₱140 billion ($5.32 billion). After a series of negotiations, and along the uncertainties caused by the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the Araneta Group decided to drop the proposal in order to push their own redevelopment plan using the company's own finances assisted by various bank loans.

With the ambition of regaining its former glory, a 20-year redevelopment project, known as the Araneta Center Master Plan, was formulated in 1999 and was unveiled in 2000, with an estimated budget of over ₱80 billion ($1.62 billion), and began its implementation in 1999 with the renovation of the Araneta Coliseum and the Farmers Plaza, which was completed in 2001. The redevelopment master plan is envisioned to turn the complex into an inter-connected, transit oriented "Garden City" concept, promoting connectivity, green architecture and open spaces within its buildings. Araneta also hired the international architectural firm RTKL Associates, along with local architectural firms Palafox Associates, owned by Felino Palafox, ASYA Design, and Aidea, for the redevelopment master plan. Araneta also tapped Deshazo Starek and Tang (now Deshazo Group), Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated and Colliers International to serve as the main consultants of the master plan. The plans for the master plan include additional malls, towers and renovated facilities within the complex, including the "Millenium Mall" project, a planned 7-storey mall which is interconnected to the Araneta Coliseum, the "Manila Tower", a 300 m planned mixed-use tower with communications facilities, and a modernization of the complex's entertainment venues, the Araneta Coliseum and the New Frontier Theater. The redevelopment is also envisioned to have a 972000 m2 of total retail floor area.

The first phase of the redevelopment plan, totaling over ₱30 billion ($608 million) began in 2002 with the construction of the Gateway Mall, completed in 2004, which was followed by the construction of the Gateway Office in 2005, a major renovation of the Araneta Coliseum, as well as the rehabilitation of the New Frontier Theater, which were completed in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Also included in the redevelopment project is the renovations of Ali Mall and SM Cubao in 2010, Shopwise in 2012, and the Farmers Plaza in 2014, as well as the construction of the first 12 towers of the Manhattan Gardens complex, the Gateway Tower, the Novotel Manila Araneta City, and the Araneta City Cyberpark Towers 1 and 2. The completion of the first phase is set within 2024, with the completion of the Manhattan Plaza Tower 2 and opening of the upcoming Gateway Mall 2 and Ibis Styles Araneta City.

The second phase, totaling over ₱50 billion ($1.01 billion) is set to begin in the next few years, and will include the development of 3 additional Cyberpark Towers, 6 additional Manhattan Gardens Towers, and the Gateway Mall 3. The phase will also include the construction of the City Plaza, a 2 ha Mixed-use development, and the Icon Tower, a planned 40+ storey tower, connected from the Manhattan Plaza. The master plan will also include a multi-billion dollar 8 ha Integrated resort consisting hotels, dining, entertainment, gaming, conventions and conferences, luxurious retail shops, a modernised Farmer's Market, and a heritage area located along EDSA, spanning from the Farmer's Market and its surrounding buildings, up to the Farmer's Garden area; and a planned expansion of Ali Mall, which includes a 4-tower mixed-use development located along the northern area of the mall. The overall redevelopment master-plan covers 3000000 m2 square meters of gross floor area and are set within the target completion date of 2030, as part of the company's Vision 2030 plan within the area. On September 24, 2019, the Araneta Center was renamed as Araneta City after a brand relaunch.

In the aftermath of the Araneta Center redevelopment plan, plans were also laid out to demolish the Araneta Coliseum in 1999, due to high maintenance costs and amusement taxes. These problems gained little to no revenue in the part of the Araneta Group, despite being subsidized by the company.

Artur Mas

Artur Mas i Gavarró (born 31 January 1956) is a Catalan politician. He was president of the Government of Catalonia from 2010 to 2015 and acting president from September 2015 to 12 January 2016.

Mas is a long time member of Democratic Convergence of Catalonia (CDC by its Catalan acronym) which used to be the bigger of the two component members –along with Unió Democràtica de Catalunya– of what at the time was a long-standing electoral coalition, Convergència i Unió (CiU), a liberal nationalist coalition which had dominated Catalan regional politics since the 1980s. In 2001 Mas was named general secretary of CDC, then, in 2012 he was named president of the party until the party was refounded in July 2016 as PDeCAT, which he presided between July 2016 and January 2018.

From 2003 to 2015, Mas has run five times for the Catalan presidency, four heading the –nowadays defunct– CiU ticket and one running for the novel Junts pel Sí coalition. He attained the presidency in two elections, 2010 and 2012 (both running for CiU) but neither with an absolute majority. In the absence of single party majorities, both tenures were marked by political instability and ended with Mas calling a snap election.

Mas is an economist who obtained his degree from the University of Barcelona, and is fluent in English and French, in addition to Catalan and Spanish.

His ideology tends to be considered liberal from the economic point of view and supportive of Catalan independence. From the social point of view, he has mostly supported a moderate agenda in numerous issues, such as gay rights, but not same-sex marriage and free debate on his party concerning abortion.

In 2010, for the first time, Mas indicated he would vote "Yes" on a hypothetical referendum to secede from Spain. Since then, sovereignty and Catalan independence have become the central part of his political agenda, with Mas being instrumental in CDC's novel turn towards separatism.

Early life
Mas was born in Barcelona as one of the four children of a wealthy industrialist family. His mother was originally from Sabadell and his father from Poblenou. He studied at the Aula escola europea, and is thereby fluent in French, English, Catalan and Spanish. Later he graduated in Economics from the University of Barcelona and married Helena Rakòsnik.

Juan Mas Roig, great-great-grandfather of the former president of the Generalitat Artur Mas, was a slave ship captain who in 1844 moved 825 slaves from Africa to Brazil.

Politics
Before acquiring political responsibilities in Catalonia, Mas held different posts in both the private and public sectors, especially relating to the internationalization of Catalan enterprises. He was a member of the Barcelona City Council from 1987 to 1995, representing the Democratic Convergence of Catalonia. His first high responsibilities in the Catalan government came during the presidency of Jordi Pujol, President of the Generalitat de Catalunya from 1980 to 2003. Artur Mas served as Catalan Minister of Public Works from 1995 to 1997, as Minister of Economy and Finance from 1997 to 2001, and Deputy Prime Minister (conseller en cap) from 2001 to 2003, as well as being the government's official spokesman from 2000 to 2003.

Artur Mas ran for the 2003 elections to the Catalan government and won a plurality of seats in the parliament, with four more than PSC. However, the latter obtained a slightly larger number of votes (this discrepancy between votes and seats obtained is explained by the electoral law and the way seats are assigned). Finally PSC's Pasqual Maragall was elected President, having forged a coalition with two other left-wing parties, the Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) and Initiative for Catalonia – Greens (ICV).

Mas ran again for president in the 2006 elections. Though his party CiU won these both in number of votes and seats —unlike in the previous election– it did not reach the absolute majority of seats in the parliament, allowing PSC's new candidate, José Montilla, to reach an absolute majority by repeating the coalition government with the same left-wing partners (ERC and ICV).

Since 2007, he has put special emphasis on initiating a process, known as the Refoundation of Catalanism (in Catalan, Refundació del catalanisme), to build upon the principles and values of the Catalanist movement, in order to enlarge the majority of society in Catalonia that expresses a nationalist feeling, and not merely inside his own party, CDC. The 'Refoundation of Catalanism' that Mas is actively leading calls for Catalonia to obtain the so-called 'Right to decide' on matters that affect it. This implicitly includes the possibility of putting independence from Spain to a hypothetical referendum. This point is significantly closer to the traditionally more separatist positions of Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya and has gained momentum since the issue of the verdict on the Catalan Statute—the Estatut—in July 2010 by the Spanish Constitutional Court, which invalidates certain parts of this law although they were backed by a large majority of Catalan voters by referendum back in 2006 (73.9 Yes, 20.7% No, 49.4% Turnout).

On 9 January 2018, he resigned as president of the PDeCAT, decision that he had made months previously but postponed because of the political crisis. According to what he said, this did not mean his abandoning politics, but that it was taking a back seat.

2010–2012
The Catalan elections that took place on 28 November 2010 were to finally determine the political future of Mas, who was for the third time CiU's candidate to the presidency. During the campaign Mas had promised to put into place the government of 'the best' people, including the possibility of appointing ministers ('Consellers') from outside his political coalition, Convergència i Unió, if their talent justified doing so. Moreover, he also engaged in a process which would culminate in full powers over taxation for Catalonia—significantly reducing the so-called 'fiscal deficit' between Catalonia and the whole of Spain—by putting this issue to referendum to the Catalans and as a condition for giving any support to Spanish governments after the Spanish elections scheduled for 2012.

Surveys had indicated that this time his party would obtain enough seats to govern without being heavily dependent on third parties and with no risk of a repetition of left-wing coalitions like those of 2003 and 2006. In the event, CiU won 62 of the 135 seats in the Catalan Parliament, short of an absolute majority.

He was eventually invested as president of the Generalitat on 23 December 2010 thanks to an agreement to get the Socialists' Party of Catalonia (PSC) abstention in the vote In the investiture speech, Mas claimed a new funding model for Catalonia inspired by the Economic Agreement and proclaimed the Catalonia national transition based on the "right to decide".

The agreement with the PSC proved fragile, which forced Mas to seek new allies in the regional parliament, this time engaging in talks with the Popular Party (PP). By negotiating PP's abstention, Mas was eventually able to pass the 2012 public budget.

2012–2015: Catalan independence movement
In September 2012, less than 2 years into his first term and only months after having closed a de facto agreement with the PP, Artur Mas declared in a speech to Parliament that it was time for the people of Catalonia to exercise the right of self-determination. The declaration had come as fallout from the massive 2012 Catalan independence demonstration which had gathered an estimated number of participants ranging from 600,000 to 1.5 million. Hence, on 25 September 2012, Mas announced snap elections for the Parliament of Catalonia to be held on 25 November and argued, referring to the demonstration, that "the street vocal must be moved to the polls".

Despite Mas going to the polls with a view to attain an absolute majority in the regional parliament Mas' led coalition lost in the event 12 seats, making it the biggest loser out of the snap election. Still, the sum of parties defending Catalonia's independence from Spain (CiU and ERC) significantly increased their votes due to ERC's growth compensating CiU's losses; the aggregated support for both parties reached 44.4% of the total and thanks to the electoral law this combined rate was enough to ensure that between both parties they could control more than half the Catalan Parliament seats.

As a result of the election, Mas, on behalf of CiU, had to engage in talks for a stable government, this time with Oriol Junqueras (ERC), who refused to enter a coalition government with Mas but stayed as Leader of the Opposition in the Parliament of Catalonia; however, ERC agreed general support to the CiU government and CiU agreed to coordinate with ERC the goals of the legislature; this was termed by the signataries as the "Agreement for Freedom". Artur Mas was invested for the second time President of Catalonia on 21 December 2012 and 24 December he took up office at the Palace of the Government of Catalonia.

On 12 December 2013, Artur Mas, with leaders of five Catalan parliamentary parties, announced the date for the Catalan self-determination referendum, that was set for Sunday 9 November 2014 and contained a question with two sections: "Do you want Catalonia to become a State?" and "In case of an affirmative response, do you want this State to be independent?". In April 2014 the proposal was presented to the Spanish Parliament and it was defeated by a vote of 299–47. Mas, both before and after this vote has declared that the referendum would take place in a legal manner, but under the Spanish Constitution, referendums on sovereignty must be held nationally and not regionally, which prompted the Spanish government to veto any such referendum.

Conviction
Mas intended to avoid prosecution by reducing it to a non-binding and purely symbolic vote, and staffing it with volunteers. Despite these efforts the Spanish Central Government still deemed the vote as unconstitutional and thus illegal. Eventually, Mas went ahead in defiance of an order from Spain's constitutional court, leading to his trial. Mas was charged by the attorney general with perverting the course of justice, misuse of public funds and abuse of power, with regards to the role he assumed in the unofficial referendum. A trial was opened, Mas rested accused of abuse of power and disobedience, as a result facing a ban from holding public office of up to 10 years.

In the event, in March 2017 Mas was barred from public office for two years by a court in Barcelona for organizing an illegal vote in defiance of the Spanish courts. He was also fined 36,500 euros.

Stances
In February 2012, in an interview to La Vanguardia, Mas made a statement saying that "the cultural DNA of Catalans is intertwined with our long belonging to the Franco-Germanic world. Catalonia, after all, long belonged to the Marca Hispanica and its capital was Aachen, the heart of the Carolingian Empire. Something must endure in our DNA, because we Catalans have an umbilical cord that makes us more Germanic than Roman."

Mas espouses the vision that "Spain can only become a full nation if Catalonia ceases to be a part of it".

2015 election
As a result of the political instability resulting from the referendum issue, Mas called a second consecutive snap election. Due to internal tensions within the coalition regarding the separatist turn led by Mas, CDC and Unió did not agree to reform CiU, hence putting an end to 37 years of cooperation between both parties.

Instead, CDC joined forces with ERC in Junts pel Sí, a novel coalition which made public that Mas was going to be its candidate for the presidency, despite not being headed by him (as a result of balance of power negotiations within the coalition, Mas was placed fourth in the electoral ticket). The new coalition attained 62 seats, failing to secure an absolute majority. Unlike the previous election in 2012, support from other parties in the regional parliament could not be taken for granted in 2015, because ERC, which had previously supported CiU's government, had joined CDC in the Junts pel Sí coalition.

The only prospective partner willing to negotiate with Junts pel Sí was the far-left separatist party Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP). After a lengthy period of negotiations started just after the election took place on September 27, Mas was vetoed by the CUP. In January 2016, after three months of what was defined as "rancorous infighting" in the separatist camp, Mas eventually stepped down at the eleventh hour from his candidature for the presidency in order to allow a government to be formed and a third consecutive snap election to be avoided. At that point, Mas also resigned from his seat in the parliament, remarking that he would place his “personal efforts in rebuilding what Convergència Democràtica de Catalunya (CDC) means and represents in Catalonia”.

Subsequently, as CDC was refounded as PDeCAT, Mas retained the presidential role in the refounded party. On 9 January 2018, he renounced the presidential role of PDeCAT.

Postal mail, ZIP Codes, and neighborhoods
Unlike neighborhoods in the other four boroughs, some Queens neighborhood names are used as the town name in postal addresses. For example, whereas the town, state construction for all addresses in Manhattan is New York, New York (except in Marble Hill, where Bronx, New York is used), and all neighborhoods in Brooklyn use Brooklyn, New York, residents of College Point would use the construction College Point, New York or Flushing, New York instead of Queens, New York.

From the time of the inception of the ZIP Code system until 1998, the postal zones of Queens and western Nassau County—whose secession from Queens County in 1899 did not affect postal routes—were organized based on which main post office routed the neighborhood's postal mail. The name of the main post office was the default name of the corresponding ZIP Code. For example, Fresh Meadows postal mail was routed through the main post office in Flushing, and Fresh Meadows' ZIP Codes 11365 and 11366 were both labeled as "Flushing".

At the urging of the citizens of Queens and with the support of Congressman Gary Ackerman, ZIP Codes are also named after the main post office they serve. The original ZIP Codes themselves are still used by the USPS for mail delivery purposes. Queens neighborhoods may have one of the following ZIP Code prefixes, which are classified under the following main post offices:

 * 111: Long Island City
 * 113: Flushing
 * 114: Jamaica
 * 116: Rockaway

List of ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Japan

The Ambassador of the United Kingdom to Japan is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in Japan, and is the head of the UK's diplomatic mission there.

The following is a chronological list of British heads of mission (ministers and ambassadors) in Japan from 1859. Before 1905, there were no ambassadors exchanged between the two countries, the highest rank being envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary – a rank just below ambassador. Before 1859, there was no treaty and no diplomatic relations, because Japan was isolated from the world by the Tokugawa shogunate's policy of national isolation called sakoku (literally locked country).

Ambassadors
No representation (1941–1946, due to World War II)

Political Representative

 * Sir Alvary Gascoigne (1946–1951)
 * Sir Esler Dening (1951–1952)

NAPLEX

The North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) is a standard examination created by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) to help individual state boards of pharmacy assess an individual's competency and knowledge so that they may be given a license to practice. The NABP has announced that as of November 2016, the fee to take the exam, the number of exam questions, and the time to sit for the exam have all increased.

History
NABP started the development of a standardized national examination in 1958 by Dr. Fred T. Mahaffey. The effort led to the eventual formation of Blue Ribbon Committee in 1968 and Blue Ribbon Examination in 1971. Blue Ribbon Examination was renamed to the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy Licensure Examination (NABPLEX) in 1975. All state boards of pharmacy with the exception of California used NABPLEX by 1986. In March 1997, the NABPLEX was renamed to the NAPLEX. California recognized the NAPLEX in 2004. Until 1997, the examination was in a paper and pencil format utilized since 1976 which was replaced with a computer-adaptive test administered at contracted testing centers.

Exam Format
The NAPLEX is exclusively a computer-administered exam. After receiving an authorization to test from NABP, applicants must register with an official testing facility, such as Pearson VUE, at least two business days in advance to schedule a testing appointment. The NABP's announcement of updates to the 2016 NAPLEX exam include increased fee price, number of exam questions, and time to sit for the exam. Number of exam questions increased from 185 to 225, and time to sit for the exam has increased from 4 hours and 15 minutes to 6 hours total. Of the 225 questions, only 200 are used to tabulate the applicant's score. The remaining questions are "trial balloon" questions under consideration for inclusion on future NAPLEX tests. There is no way to distinguish a regular test question from a trial balloon question. As of March 2024, the NAPLEX exam fee increased from $475 to $520.

Prior to the changes in November 2016, the NAPLEX exam was presented as a computer adaptive exam in which the delivery of questions was modified based on the response of the test taker and questions on a specific subject may have increased or decreased in difficulty as the test progressed. The new exam is a pre-assembled linear format (standardized delivery for all test-takers) and will no longer adjust the exam based on user responses.

There are several question types on the NAPLEX: multiple choice, select all that apply, point and click (to select a place on a picture or graph for the purpose of mechanisms of action, site of action, application or injection site, etc.), and sequencing. Essay and short answer are not included and, though previously used, K-type questions have been eliminated.

Results
Exam results are typically reported seven business days after administration. Applicants may access their scores on the website of the state Board of Pharmacy. A tabulated or "scaled" score of 75 or higher (out of a possible 150) is required for passing. Reported scores are not percentage values, nor are they some configuration of right versus wrong. Rather, they represent a mathematically calculated "ability measure" of the applicant based on an algorithm developed by the National Associations of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP).

Applicants not obtaining a score of 75 or higher are given a performance profile, which details their relative areas of strength and weakness. They must wait at least 45 days (previously 91 days) before retaking the NAPLEX.

Voyageurs Cup

The Voyageurs Cup (Coupe des Voyageurs) is the domestic trophy for professional soccer in Canada, awarded to the best men's and women's clubs in the country.

The Cup was conceived and commissioned by fans of the Canada men's national team, the Voyageurs, in 2002. From 2002 to 2007, the cup was awarded annually to the Canadian team finishing with the best record in the USL First Division, from regular-season matches against other Canadian teams in the league. Since 2008, the trophy has been presented to the winner of the Canadian Championship, which also awards Canada's berth in the CONCACAF Champions League. The current men's cup holder are Vancouver Whitecaps FC, after winning the 2023 Canadian Championship.

History
The Voyageurs Cup was first conceived in March 2002 by fans of the Canada men's national team, known as the Voyageurs, following Canada's surprise success at the 2000 Gold Cup. After years of being promised a domestic Canadian cup by the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA), the Voyageurs took it upon themselves to commission a national trophy using member donations. Veteran Voyageurs member and chief fundraiser since the group's founding in 1996, Dwayne Cole, solicited donations on the Voyageurs internet forum, resulting in $3,500–4,000 donated. The money was used to commission the trophy, made in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The cup itself is a handled wine cooler made from solid brass and electroplated in sterling silver. The base is lacquered, solid Canadian Oak and set with die cut polished aluminum maple leaf annual plates. An accompanying solid oak case was also crafted for safe transport. The cost of engraving, shipping, maintenance, and promotion of the trophy continued to be paid for by private donations from individual members of the Voyageurs until 2008.

The group agreed to award the cup to whichever of the four Canadian clubs in the USL A-League – the Montreal Impact, Vancouver Whitecaps, Toronto Lynx and Calgary Storm – collected the most points against each other during the regular USL season.

Prior to the start of the 2007 USL season, the Toronto Lynx self-relegated to the Premier Development League, and effectively withdrew from the Voyageurs Cup competition in the process. As a result, in 2007 the trophy was decided solely on regular-season results between the Montreal Impact and the Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Following the creation of the Canadian Championship, a separate tournament that would include the two remaining Canadian clubs from the USL First Division, and Toronto FC of Major League Soccer, the trophy was handed over to the Canadian Soccer Association in 2008 to be presented to the Canadian Championship winners. The terms of the agreement were to be reviewed in 2010.

The Montreal Impact won the first seven titles, the first six by virtue of their regular-season record in the USL against other Canadian sides. They won the inaugural 2008 Canadian Championship to retain the trophy, their seventh straight Voyageurs Cup victory. Toronto FC won the 2009 Canadian Championship to win the Voyageurs Cup for the first time. After thirteen unsuccessful attempts, the Vancouver Whitecaps FC won their first Voyageurs Cup title in 2015. The Calgary Storm never finished higher than fourth in the competition while the Edmonton Aviators finished third in their lone appearance in the tournament. Both Alberta teams folded after the 2004 season. The Toronto Lynx finished as runners-up in four of the five years they participated. FC Edmonton played in five consecutive Canadian Championship semi-finals from 2011 to 2015, but were never able to reach the final. The closest they came was in 2014, when they had almost defeated the Montreal Impact on away goals, but conceded from a penalty kick in the 90+7th minute to lose 4–5 on aggregate.

There was also a Voyageurs Cup West for Women and Voyageurs Cup East for Women awarded since 2004. The first and only Women's Voyageurs Super Cup was contested in 2006.

2002–2007: USL era
Prior to 2008, the men's title was decided on regular-season matches between Canada's USL A-League/USL First Division sides.

2008–2010: Canadian Championship, round robin format
The inaugural Canadian Championship was held in 2008, with the three Canadian teams spread across MLS (Toronto FC) and the USL First Division (Montreal Impact and Vancouver Whitecaps) each playing four non-League games in a round robin format.

2011–present: Canadian Championship, knockout format
Beginning with the 2011 tournament, the format was different from previous editions. In 2011, with four teams involved, the tournament was changed to be a home-and-away semi-final round and a similar final round between the winners. Toronto, as reigning champions, were assigned the top seed and were matched with Edmonton, which was assigned the fourth seed as newcomers to the tournament. The two remaining teams, Montreal and Vancouver, faced off in the other semi-final.
