Emerson Sheik

Márcio Passos de Albuquerque (born 6 September 1978), known as Emerson Sheik or just Emerson, is a former professional footballer who played as a forward. Born in Brazil, he represented Qatar internationally.

Early career
Emerson Sheik was born in Nova Iguaçu, Brazil. As a promising teenager, he developed in São Paulo FC's youth system. He made his senior side debut in 1998.

Japan
Emerson Sheik went to Japan to join Consadole Sapporo of the second division, for whom he scored 31 goals in 34 games during the 2000 season. After the season, he joined another second division team, Kawasaki Frontale, with whom he continued his goal-scoring domination, registering 19 goals in 18 league games. In the middle of the 2001 season, however, he left Frontale to join the first division Urawa Reds, for whom he has yet again excelled. He scored 71 league goals in 100 appearances for the Reds and won 2003 J1 League top scorer and 2004 J1 League MVP.

Al-Sadd
Emerson Sheik later joined Qatar outfit Al-Sadd with the transfer fee of 8 million US dollars in 2005.

Move to France
On 25 August 2007, Emerson Sheik signed a three-year contract with French side Stade Rennais FC.

Return to Al-Sadd
Emerson Sheik could not break into the first team at Rennes. Meanwhile, his previous team Al-Sadd were going through a lean phase. They had many bad results and were 14 points behind unbeaten leaders Al-Gharafa by the end of 2007. Their new import Mauro Zárate did not link up nicely with Emerson's ex-striking partner, Carlos Tenorio up front. The fans of Al-Sadd started rooting for the return of Emerson. So Al-Sadd started negotiations with Emerson in December and on 19 December, the club's official website announced Emerson's return.

Flamengo
On 20 March 2009, the former São Paulo FC and Rennes forward signed a season-long deal with childhood favorite Flamengo; the 30-year-old was a free agent after leaving Al-Sadd. He generally kept a good scoring record for the club, which long sought a competent striker before his arrival. In the Série A 2009 season, his partnership with Adriano was one of the league's most effective forward lines. Club legend Andrade praised both players' performance.

Al Ain FC
On 5 September 2009, he signed a two-year deal with Al Ain FC. He was presented to the press on 6 September 2009 and was handed a number eight shirt.

Fluminense
On 16 June 2010, Emerson Sheik signed for Fluminense Football Club. On 5 December 2010, Emerson scored the winning goal for Fluminense to conquer the 1st division Brazilian title, making him Brazilian champion two years in a row.

Sport Club Corinthians Paulista
On 18 May 2011, Emerson Sheik signed for Sport Club Corinthians Paulista. On 4 December 2011, he won his third Brazilian championship in a row with Corinthians, making him the first player in history to win three straight Brazilian championships with three different teams. On 4 July 2012, Emerson scored two goals in the second match of the 2012 Copa Libertadores Finals, helping Corinthians to win their first Copa Libertadores. On 16 December 2012, he was part of the Corinthians team which won the FIFA World Club Championship, beating Chelsea 1–0. In the last few minutes of the game, he was involved in an off-the-ball incident with Gary Cahill, in which Emerson fell to the ground holding his face. Cahill received a red card, but the Englishman claimed Emerson fouled him first before diving.

In an interview for Esporte Espetacular, an attraction of Rede Globo, Emerson showed his dislike for Mano Menezes, coach of the club. Emerson Sheik told reporters: "I do not wanna work with him [Mano] anymore." Still, according to the former corintiano: "I think he [Mano] is a very limited coach. I did not see anything special in him, and I do not think he will improve, because he does not have the humility to ask something."

Emerson Sheik returned to Corinthians in 2015 as Tite returned to the club as the new manager. He was a first choice for many of the first games of the season, including the 2015 Copa Libertadores. After Corinthians was eliminated in the Round of 16, the club opted against renegotiating Emerson's contract, due to end in 31 July of the same year. He was released on 12 June, after both sides reached an agreement on the matter.

Botafogo
In April 2014, he was loaned to Botafogo, his third club in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He took the shirt number seven, used before by Botafogo's biggest idol, Garrincha.

International career
Emerson Sheik played 1999 South American Youth Championship for U-20 Brazil, while he was still known as aged 18 instead of 21. He was offered Qatari citizenship by Al-Sadd so that they could accommodate one more foreign player in their line-up. He accepted and he became a Qatari citizen in 2008. He made his international debut for the Qatar national team on 4 March 2008 in a friendly against Bahrain. He also played the next friendly, vs. Jordan, on 16 March and a World Cup qualifying match, vs. Iraq, on 26 March.

In April 2008, it was revealed that Emerson Sheik had also played for the Brazil under-20 team which makes him ineligible to play for the Qatari national team. Taking that into consideration, and that he represented Qatar in the World Cup qualifier against Iraq on 26 March, Qatar breached the FIFA rules, and Qatar could have lost the three points they gained from the game against Iraq. FIFA confirmed the breach of laws but said that QFA is not responsible for any wrongdoing, and that Emerson has since not played for Qatar. Although FIFA has loosened the nationality transfer of uncapped players and players with multi-nationality, it was not beneficial to Emerson, because he did not hold multi-nationality when representing Brazil.

Controversy
Emerson Sheik was detained by the Brazilian federal police on his way back to Qatar on 20 January 2006 for allegedly falsifying a birth certificate to show that he was three years younger than his actual age. The fake birth certificate, which was used to issue his passport, said that he was born on 6 December 1981 in Nova Iguaçu with the name "Márcio Emerson Passos", but his original shows he was born 6 September 1978, with the name "Márcio Passos de Albuquerque".

Kiss issue
On 18 August 2013, after the 1–0 victory by Corinthians against Coritiba FC in the Brazilian League, Emerson Sheik celebrated the alvinegro triumph by kissing his friend and posting the photo on Instagram.

On 19 August, one day after the incident, homophobic Corinthians supporters protested against the kiss at Joaquim Grava Training Center where Corinthians were undertaking a training session. Emerson Sheik called the protests an "idiotic prejudice".

On 21 August, in the first game after the incident, a 1–0 loss against Luverdense in the 2013 Copa do Brasil, Emerson Sheik was sent off along with opposition player Zé Roberto after they argued on field. Speaking to the press after the game, Zé Roberto in reference to Emerson, said: "I am not the guy that takes a kiss from anyone, I do not accept this kind of thing."

Elisabeth Irwin

Elisabeth Antoinette Irwin (29 August 1880 –16 October 1942) was the founder of the Little Red School House. She was an educator, psychologist, reformer, and declared lesbian, living with her life partner Katharine Anthony and the two children they adopted.

Life and career

Irwin was born in Brooklyn, to William Henry Irwin and Josephina Augusta Easton. Her father was a cotton merchant. She attended the Packer Collegiate Institute and received her A.B. from Smith College in 1903 and her M.A. from Columbia University in 1923. She was a member of the feminist intellectual club Heterodoxy.

In 1912, while a member of the staff of the Public Education Association, she began work at revising the curriculum for the children at Public School 64. She founded the Little Red School House curriculum in Manhattan in 1921, in the red-painted annex of Public School 61. Her work there, and then at Public School 41, is described in an article for The New York Times as an experiment to demonstrate that "...the broader, more active program of the so-called progressive schools could be carried out under public school conditions."

Faced with funding cuts, it appeared that the experiment would end, but a group of parents came together in an ice-cream parlor, urging her to start her own school and promising financial support. In September 1932, the "Little Red School House" got its own building at Bleecker Street. At first, only primary education was available, but in 1940 a high school was added.

She died in the New York Hospital in October 1942. She was survived by her partner, Katharine Anthony, and their two adopted daughters, Mrs. Howard Gresens of Plandome, New York and Mrs. R.O. Bogue of Pensacola, Florida. Her funeral was conducted in Gaylordsville, Connecticut, where she and Miss Anthony maintained a summer home, having called themselves the "gay ladies of Gaylordsville ". She was buried there alongside Miss Anthony.

Fort Scott National Historic Site

Fort Scott National Historic Site is a historical area under the control of the United States National Park Service in Bourbon County, Kansas, United States. Named after General Winfield Scott, who achieved renown during the Mexican–American War, during the middle of the 19th century the fort served as a military base for US Army action in what was the edge of settlement in 1850. For the next quarter century, it was used as a supply base and to provide security in turbulent areas during the opening of the West to settlement, a period which included Bleeding Kansas and the American Civil War.

The current national historic site protects 20 historic structures, a parade ground, and five acres (20,000 m2) of restored tallgrass prairie, inside the city of Fort Scott. It is open to visitors most days of the year.

History
In 1842, Fort Scott was named after Winfield Scott, was established on the American frontier on the military road in eastern Kansas between Fort Leavenworth and Fort Gibson. It was established to provide protection to the rapidly increasing number of settlers, who were migrating from the Eastern United States. Fort Scott became one of a chain of forts intended to protect the new settlers from the Plains Indians, as well as to protect the Indians from the settlers' encroachment.

The United States government intention to reserve permanent Indian lands west of the Missouri River gave way to the competition of settlers continuing to encroach on the Indian settlements. Fort Scott's most active days were between 1842 and 1853, although it was also used during the Civil War.

Army days
The Cherokee of Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) were upset to have Fort Wayne in their proximity. After some delay, the US Army decided to abandon Fort Wayne and move its soldiers to a new fort to be built between Fort Leavenworth and the site. The Army both wanted to placate the Cherokee (who were supervised by the Department of Defense) and provide more defense for white settlers and other Indians against the Osage, who had been conducting frequent raids in the area. On April 1, 1842, some soldiers of Fort Wayne left their fort and on April 22 arrived where Fort Scott would be built, in the Osage Cuestas section of modern-day Kansas. After haggling with the Cherokees to acquire the land, the rest of Fort Wayne's garrison left the fort on May 26 and arrived at the Fort Scott site on May 30.

Unlike most forts for military use, the fort did not have defensive walls or structures when first built; the wide-open area and the available artillery made an enclosed fort unnecessary. The soldiers concentrated on building structures for lodging the men, animals, and equipment. These buildings were on the edges of a 350 ft parade ground.

The post quartermaster, Captain Thomas Swords, was in charge of building Fort Scott's structures, and had to deal with the problems of construction on the Kansas prairie, which had few trees. He had only two bricklayers and three carpenters to rely on, as there were few civilians and most of the soldiers had other duties to perform. Wood was available, but the mill was built 1.5 mi away, making transport time-consuming. Swords found his efforts plagued by lack of wood, skilled labor and working equipment. Freak accidents destroyed much of the wood intended for the fort's construction. As a result, only one duplex of the five planned officers quarters (four duplexes and post commandant's house) was built by 1844, and the intended enlisted barracks were not completed. In his 1844 inspection of the fort, Colonel George Croghan reported that, in comparison to other frontier forts, he considered Fort Scott "above average".

Due to the rising tensions that escalated in the Mexican–American War, the US Army redeployed troops to the Southwest. With Fort Scott still uncompleted, officials decided on April 25, 1850, that no more construction would be done there, after eight years and $35,000. By the time it was finished, it was obsolete; three years later, it was abandoned by the military in favor of the more western Fort Riley.

For the average soldier, life at the fort was "monotonous". Until the permanent structures were built, soldiers had to live in tents, which lacked comfort. Aside from a few whiskey peddlers and prostitutes, few civilians lived at the fort. Officers had brought their personal slaves with them, including Captain Swords. The border with Missouri was 5.15 mi east of Fort Scott. In Missouri was a grog shop that supplied soldiers, and quite a few courts-martial followed soldiers' going AWOL at the shop. The desertion rate from the fort ranged from 12 to 16%, due to boredom, irregular pay, and hatred for military life. As no combat took place near the fort, it seemed more of a frontier village than a military base. Hunting was a popular pastime; according to Captain Swords, "wolf chasing and duck hunting" was the only way one officer could tolerate the place.

Bleeding Kansas
Two years after the army abandoned the fort, the buildings were sold by auction to civilians, with two being converted to hotels. In 1854 the Kansas–Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had kept slavery out of Kansas. Missourians in favor of slavery soon moved to Kansas to try to sway the vote of whether or not Kansas would permit slavery. Settlers from New England arrived equally determined to keep it out. Each of the two competing factions of the Bleeding Kansas conflict claimed one of the hotels at Fort Scott: Free-Soil at the Fort Scott Hotel and Pro-Slavery at the Western Hotel. Most of the residents in Fort Scott supported slavery, but those outside the town tended to the free-soil side. During this time, there were local incidents of murder and attempted arson, typical elements of the guerrilla conflicts that were prevalent in the fighting.

Army returns
During the American Civil War, the fort was renewed as a US military post. In August 1861, the Union Army took command of Fort Scott, and readied it for the war times. The United States Army also took over several blocks within the town for commissary and quartermaster functions. The Union Army rented the properties from the current civilian owners. Troops from Indiana, Iowa, Colorado, Ohio, and Wisconsin would come to the fort, and either stayed by the fort, or traveled farther, to subjugate Missouri, Arkansas, or the Indian Territory. Fort Scott was one of the few installations that recruited and trained black soldiers for the United States Colored Troops of the Union Army.

A major supply depot was situated at the fort. Confederate general Sterling Price hoped to capture the town, but the closest the Confederate force came to the garrison was 10 mi away at Battle of Dry Wood Creek. The site was strategically important as it was within a Southern-sympathizing area and close to the Confederate state of Arkansas and the "unstable" Indian Territory (present-day state of Oklahoma), where many of the members of the Five Civilized Tribes were allied with the Confederates. The fort served as a "general hospital" (large military hospital) and prison until after the war. Following the end of the war, in October 1865 the US Army left the facilities and sold off by auction what they controlled.

On January 14, 1870, the Army returned with the formation of the Post of Southeast Kansas. The Post was based at Fort Scott, but the soldiers camped along the rail tracks, and seldom used the original fort. They were sent to protect the railroads and workers from settlers. Some of the latter feared that the railroad, which had been awarded land for development by the US Government in rights-of-way, would evict them from their squatter homes. The settlers considered the troops lackeys to the railroads, and lumped both as enemies.

Settlers also had some continuing conflicts with Indians and insurgents using the recent Confederate cause as excuse for robbery. By the spring of 1873, the US Army withdrew the troops from Fort Scott for good. From 1873 to 1965, the buildings of the fort were left unattended, and slowly deteriorated. Many military buildings were razed and replaced with structures built for civilian use.

Modern times
With the Act of August 31, 1965, the National Park Service gave the city government of Fort Scott, Kansas the necessary funds and technical knowledge to restore the fort.

On October 19, 1978, Fort Scott became a National Historic Site under the supervision of the National Park Service, encompassing 17 acre. Today the fort is open throughout the year, save for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Visitation has declined in recent years. In 2005 visitation was 25,528; in 2007 it was 22,314.

Surviving structures include four officers' barracks, one dragoon's barracks, two infantry barracks, a hospital, guardhouse, dragoon stables, ordnance and post headquarters, quartermaster stables, bake shop, flagpole, and magazine. Another feature of the park is 5 acre of tallgrass prairie restored as part of an ecology-restoration project.

Talk:Emergency Response Team (RCMP)

Veracity
It's not impossible that this is RCMP during a public exhibition, but there's absolutely no proof one way or the other that this isn't, say, a cosplayer, except the photographer's say-so. Can we see a link to a page about, or an official communication from the RCMP regarding, the public exhibition in question? Thanks. --81.5.170.9 (talk) 10:28, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Early formation inaccuracy
My father was on one of the original teams and he noticed an error in this article. It says the ERT team was modelled after the HARP team but that's not actually correct. The ERT team came first in 1976, and HARP followed shortly after. Trying to find a citation to back this up, but thought I would bring it to attention for now.

2NM

2NM (branded as 981 2NM) is a local radio station in the Upper Hunter Valley of New South Wales, Australia. It is based in Muswellbrook and serves listeners in Muswellbrook, Singleton, Scone, Aberdeen, Merriwa, Murrurundi and surrounding areas.

The station transmits on 981 kHz on the AM band from a transmitter site located along Bengalla Road near Muswellbrook, near the Bengalla coal mine. Its studios, shared with sister stations 98.1 Power FM and low-powered narrowcast station 87.6MHz KIX Country, are located at 56 Brook Street, Muswellbrook. The Station moved from its old location at 100 Bridge Street in October 2018. The first live broadcast from the new studios was on Monday 29 October 2018. The station is owned by ARN.

2NM broadcasts an adult contemporary/classic hits music format, typically covering music from the 1960s through to today, focusing on 1970s to 1990s hits, aimed at an older audience. This is supplemented by local, rural and national news bulletins, a daily local affairs program, and programs sourced from Sydney station 2GB and from syndicated Nine Radio stations. All programs from 6am to 6pm weekdays and 6am to 12pm weekends are broadcast from the Muswellbrook studios, with longer hours of automated music during the summer months and public holidays.

1937–1950s – 2CK Cessnock
2NM was originally licensed to Cessnock as 2CZ, owned by Coalfields Broadcasting Co Pty Ltd, but the station's call letters were changed to 2CK prior to its launch on 9 January 1937. The station operated on 1460 kHz, with a power output of 300 watts, and was managed by Albert Ryan.

The station catered for the mining community of Cessnock and surrounding areas, and was the official station of the Australian Coal and Shale Employees' Federation. A feature of their programme was a mining news bulletin, transmitted at 5.34am, 6.15pm and 9.00pm, relying on information from mine officials and managements. Because of the working hours of the local industry, the station commenced operations at 5.30am, with the first national news program in the country for the day transmitted at 5.45am, using the resources of the Newcastle Herald.

This was complemented with local and district news, racing programs from 2UW, the Daily Telegraph Sports Parade program (exclusive to 2CK in the region) and other programs of local interest. The station transmitted between the hours of 5.30am and 11am and from 5.30pm to 10pm weekdays, 5.30am to 11pm Saturdays and 9.00am to 10.00pm Sundays.

2CK was closed down after a fire burnt the studios down late one night after the announcer had finished the station's transmission for the night at 10pm, and left in a rush for his bus back to Maitland, leaving the electric heater on.

1937–1950s – 2HR Singleton/Maitland
The Upper Hunter had its own station based in Singleton, 2HR, owned by Hunter River Broadcasters Pty. Ltd. The station launched on 30 August 1937. The owners included the Singleton Argus and the Robinson family. Three years later, they moved to Lochinvar, near Maitland.

1954–1980s – 2NM Muswellbrook / 2NX Newcastle
Hunter Broadcasters had purchased the two stations during the early to mid-1950s, and decided to move both stations away from their existing locations. The 2HR license and transmitter was moved to Bolwarra, in order to serve the Newcastle market. 2HR was given a new callsign, 2NX. The 2CK license and frequency was moved to Muswellbrook, and also received a new callsign, 2NM.

The callsigns were devised by station manager Ken Robinson, who had served in the Australian Army. His army identification number included the letters NX. Therefore, the Newcastle station was given the 2NX name. 2NM's callsign was created only after trying out other combinations that could smoothly follow 2NX. 2NM could also represent 2 Newcastle Muswellbrook.

2NM was launched on 14 January 1954, from facilities located along the McCully's Gap road just outside Muswellbrook.

In 1971, Hunter Broadcasters were taken over by Catholic Broadcasting Company, a division of the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney. During this time, while during the day 2NX and 2NM were operated separately, from 6pm overnight, 2NM relayed 2NX's programming, and was identified as 2NXNM and as Upper Hunter 2NX.

In 1978, the station moved from 1460 to 1458 kHz, as part of a nationwide radio frequency adjustment. Two years later, on 2 August 1980, 2NM changed its frequency again from 1458 kHz to 981 kHz to improve reception in parts of the Upper Hunter. A new 5000 watt transmitter site was commissioned on Begalla Road, next to the Bengalla coal mine. The old 2NM tower on McCullys Gap Road was not torn down until 2009. The old transmitter building still stands to this day. 1458 kHz was reassigned as the Newcastle frequency for ABC NewsRadio.

The overnight simulcast of 2NX came to an end in July 1989, due to the opening of Newcastle's first FM station, New FM, which was taking listeners away from 2NX, and as a result, 2NX changed formats to compete.

1990s–2021 – Independence and expansion
In the early 1990s, the station was sold to Grant Broadcasters, and moved to new studios in Muswellbrook. It is a breeding ground for young radio talent, names to come out of 2NM include: Brendan Jones 4MMM, 2MMM, and breakfast "Jonesy and Amanda" WSFM, Jamie Angel 2MMM Content director and Paul "The bull" Stanley. In the mid-1990s, the station opened a supplementary FM station, Power FM, on 98.1 kHz (coincidentally sharing the same numbers in its frequency as 2NM), which lead to 2NM focusing on an older demographic.

In 2009, the station began an online stream of its programming, along with sister station Power FM.

2021–present – New ownership under ARN
In November 2021, 2NM, along with other stations owned by Grant Broadcasters, were acquired by the Australian Radio Network. This deal will allow Grant's stations, including 2NM, to access ARN's iHeartRadio platform in regional areas. The deal was finalized on 4 January 2022. It is expected 2NM will integrate with ARN's Pure Gold Network, but will retain its current name according to the press release from ARN.

Programming
Weekend programming includes local breakfast, Between The Posts on Saturday morning, Syndicated programming aired over the weekend includes 2GB's Continuous Call Team during the National Rugby League season, on Sunday nights 20/20 Retro Countdown. Network news and national rural news are taken on relay from 2UE Sydney, although 2NM takes Nine News during its NRL coverage.

Coverage Area
2NM's primary coverage area is the Upper Hunter Valley of New South Wales, with its 5 kilowatt transmitter serving the shires of Muswellbrook, Singleton and the Upper Hunter Shire and surrounding areas. The signal reaches as far east as Maitland, and was even promoted as an alternative source of rugby league coverage by 2GB when former affiliate 2HD dropped the Continuous Call Team program in 2006. Even a local resident, "Elsie", had her transistor radio hooked up to receive 2NM by 2GB technical staff in a stunt run that year.

Those involved in distance reception of radio signals often note the ability of 2NM's signal to travel long distances in favourable conditions, with reports of reception in New Zealand (blocking out state radio services on occasion), as well as many parts of New South Wales and beyond.

Former jingles and slogans

 * In the Hunter Valley, north to Tamworth, east to the Barrington Tops and west to Cassilis, this is 981 2NM – used at the time of the 1980 frequency switch
 * Upper Hunter 2NX – used during 2NX simulcast periods
 * 2NXNM – used during 2NX simulcast periods

Talk:1976 Summer Olympics

Olympic Flame
"The Olympic Flame was electronically transmitted from Athens to Ottawa." - How the BLEEP did they do that, or get away with the claim that they were doing it? It makes no SENSE. My puny research skills aren't up to it but this bit of PR gibberish bugs me.

 * Indeed, it seems pretty irresponsible to me to glibly make such a claim and not explain it. A tiny bit of research revealed something about pulses by satellite, which I have added. I agree with your assessment of PR gibberish, but hey, it was the 70s. Jeeves 14:27, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Pierre Trudeau
Please do NOT remove information that Pierre Trudeau was from Montreal. He was the prime minister during the Olympics and he was from the host city of the Olympics. SNIyer12 18:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

 * What did he have to do with the Olympics? -- Jonel | Speak 13:33, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

 * That's stupid. Are you going to document every national leader from a host city in every Olympics article? 132.205.44.134 22:55, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Boycott
Information from the IOC bulletin Olympic Review contradicts to the information in this article (the source of which is BBC - see the 2nd external link) - e.g. Mali boycotted the Games, etc. However, I have no idea, how this could be corrected. Cmapm 11:10, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

 * As I read that IOC bulletin and the BBC report, the BBC says 26 countries (25 African) and lists 23. The IOC lists 29.  We list 26. Discrepancies are -
 * Cameroon - WP and IOC, not BBC
 * Guyana - WP and IOC, not BBC
 * Mali - IOC, not WP and BBC
 * Mauritius - WP and BBC, not IOC
 * IOC does not list in the participating NOC section. Had not previously competed.
 * Morocco - WP and IOC, not BBC
 * Swaziland - IOC, not WP and BBC
 * Tunisia - IOC, not WP and BBC
 * Zaire - IOC, not WP and BBC
 * IOC lists this as non-political, so not a boycott.

 * My recommendation would be to add Mali, Swaziland, and Tunisia to the list of boycotting countries. Add a note that Zaire did not compete, but claimed financial causes rather than political.  Remove Mauritius from the list.  Source it all to the IOC document. -- Jonel | Speak 13:31, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for clarifying this. I agree with you, introduced changes proposed here into the article and removed tags. If someone will object to this, feel free to say it here. Cmapm 14:05, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

 * A couple of countries were listed as both competing and in the boycott - Nigeria, Kenya and Ethiopia. I have removed Nigeria & Kenya and will list Ethiopia at the 1976 Summer Olympics for deletion since it did not participate. -- Astrokey44 |talk 14:09, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Heh, didn't even think to check that. Good work. -- Jonel | Speak 04:40, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Made this map from the info from the IOC bulletin just to try and figure this out - the blue countries did not officially withdraw, but did not compete either -- Astrokey44 |talk 09:47, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Demonstration sports
Apparently, the organizing committee for the 1976 games allowed for the demonstration sports of lacrosse and water skiing, but the IOC decided not to have them on the programme. [Reference here]. I have no idea where to put this tidbit of info. Highlights? Medals awarded?

 * The "Medals awarded" section, which probably should have its name changed to "Sports", is typically where such things go. As a side note, I think it's unfortunate that demonstration sports aren't held any more.  As another side note, great work! -- Jonel | Speak 00:11, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I agree that that section should be changed to "Sports". It appears that many Olympic game pages have "medals awarded" instead of "sports".  Anyway, yeah, I think it's too bad that there aren't any demonstartion sports anymore.  It was a great way for countries to showcase a sport that was popular within the host country.  I can understand it though.  The Olympics have gotten huge and they needed to cut down on costs.  As far as that reference goes, you can access all the official reports from all the Olympic games till the 2002 Olympics here: http://www.aafla.org/5va/reports_frmst.htm

 * It says "medals awarded" on many of them because a lot have exactly that much information on the links in the section. I've been working on putting more in (see esp. 1908 Summer Olympics and its sports pages).  AAFLA (both official reports and the other documents they have), Herman's Full Olympians, and Bill Mallon's books have been my primary sources for early Olympics.  I recommend them all. -- Jonel | Speak 02:03, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

That site has all the information you could ever want on the Olympics and I think should be incorperated in ALL the wikipedia entries.

Boycott clarification needed
I find the information about the boycott difficult to understand. Can someone please clarify? Why did some African nations boycott? --geekyßroad . meow?'' 06:58, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Earlier in 1976 the All Blacks toured South Africa in breach of a Commonwealth agreement which prohibited sporting links with South Africa. The boycotting nations were protesting New Zealand's violation of Gleneagles. Lisiate 00:07, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Taiwan
Here, it says China (Taiwan) boycotted the 1976 games, but according to what I have learned, the Canadian government did not permit Taiwan to participate. I will try to find a source and amend the article accordingly. ludahai 魯大海 (talk) 03:49, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

A Brief Outline for 1976 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremonies.
July 17, 1976 16:02 hours.

The ceremony started with a fanfarre of trumpets and inmediatly the announcer in French and English announces the arrive to the official stand of honour of HM Queen Elizabeth II accompanied by HRH Prince Philip, Prince Andrew, Roger Rouseau chairman of the Organising Committee and IOC President Lord Killanin. After this a group of youth from the five continents sang O Canada. The announcers declares in French and English that the Greek delegation like tradition and according to the Olympic rules starts with the parade of the 94 participating national delegations. Opposite to the stand of honour the Montreal Olympic Orchestra under the baton of Victor Vogel plays his work "The March of Athletes" which follows like background the parade of the athletes.

After the contigents have taken up their positions in the pitch of the Montreal Olympic Stadium crowded by 73,000 spectators the IOC president Lord Killanin and Roger Rouseau addresses. At 16.34 hours after invitate by Lord Killanin hER Majesty Queen Elizabeth II declares the Games of the XXI Olympiad open.

With a fanfarre is announced the arrival of the Olympic Flag to the Montreal Olympic Stadium carried by eight male athletes and four female athletes representing the Canadian provincies. After that is announcing the ceremony of the Olympic flag handover from Munich to Montreal. Accompaning by 64 dancers, 16 musicians and eight singers wearing Bavarian costumes having like background the strains of the Bayerisch Delifirthe Olympic flag enters to the Olympic stadium through the marathon gate and by the northwest gate of the stadium a group of Montreal troupe enters wearing costumes of the of St.Lawrence Valley formed with the same number of dancers,musicians and singers.In this moment George Kronawiter mayor of Munich passes the Olympic flag to Lord Killanin and he passed it to the mayor of Montreal Jean Drapeau. The troupe dances a suite of Quebec music next the Munich and Montreal dancers performs a waltz-lancers to Bavarian and Quebec tunes and finally headed by the Olympic bearer the dancers leaves the stadium moving to the northwest exit.

After a three salva salutes was fired by members of the 5th Light Artillery Regiment of the Canadian forces in the Olympic Park. As the third shot was fired 80 young women releases pigeons carried a message of peace and friendship to the world. When the pigeons turns to the sky and wheel a fanfarre announces the entry of the Olympic Flame by two athletes: From Toronto Sandra Henderson and Stéphane Prefontaine from Montreal representing the two founding peoples of Canada. run around the track,and, when they reach the other side of the stadium, opposite the royal box,they move through a corridor six metres wide in the middle of the athletes and climb the stairs to the Olympic urn erected in the centre of the stadium. They salute the four points of the compass and light the urn.

the flag-bearers of the 94 national teams formed a semi-circle behind the dais, which the Canadian flag-bearer mounted, and then stood with an athlete from the Canadian delegation and a judge in this case the athlete was the weightlifter Pierre Saint-Jean and took the oath in French and English and for the judges was Maurice Forget.

Finally the opening ceremonies concludes perfoming the national Canadian anthem by the Olympic chorus and orchestra.--Nekko09 (talk) 04:50, 11 November 2009 (UTC) Official Report of the 1976 Summer Olympic Games volume I part II

Streaker The most memorable event in the opening ceremony was a male streaker running through the rings of dancers. This was before broadcasters routinely turned their cameras away to avoid giving streakers publicity consequently he was prominent in many pictures taken at that time. If anyone has a reliable reference this really should be noted.OrewaTel (talk) 07:12, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Doping
Wasn't this the olympics where it was later uncovered the East German Women's Swimming team was doping (or was doped unknowingly)? I expected to see some mention of that. Gamecat42 (talk) 20:21, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Boycott clarification needed 2
It is unclear to me how many and which countries boycotted due to the New Zealand rugby tour of South Africa. The article lists 28 countries, but the source lists 22. On the NZ rugby team page they say 33, but the (different) source there says 25 and then lists 22 (but these 22 don't exactly match the 22 in the source from this article - for example there is a discrepancy about Mali vs. Malawi). Both these sources are pretty poor - a newspaper article about "On this day in 1976..." and a random, untitled PDF. I'm not sure how best to clean this up, maybe someone else wants to try?Paul55604 (talk) 16:07, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

 * For people in the future, see continuation of this subject below at the "How many actually joined the boycott?" section. --MatthewJenkins02 (talk) 23:02, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Missing Country? Burma?
In the article Boxing at the 1976 Summer Olympics lists four boxers with the country code "BUF". I'm not aware of any country ever using the code "BUF". This message board thread shows these boxers under "BUR", which I believe would be Burma. However, the list of participating countries on 1976 Summer Olympics does not show Burma or Myanmar. If we can in any way corroborate that these boxers competed then Burma should be added to the list. -Drdisque (talk) 03:28, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I have correct to "BUR". BUR is Burkina-Faso. However these athletes did note compete, because of BUR withdrew.--Nitobus (talk) 15:31, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, makes sense, I saw that the correct code for Burma was BIR and BUF makes more sense as an incorrect code for Burkina-Faso than Burma. All their listings on that Boxing page show their fighters as "walk-over" or even "double walk over" in two cases where both fighters were from boycotting African nations. However, shouldn't Burkina-Faso then be listed in the list of Non-participating NOC's? -Drdisque (talk) 16:12, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Burkina-Faso is already in this list by its old name Upper Volta.--Nitobus (talk) 18:15, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Re-insertion of live name
Per current MOS:IDENTITY policy as laid out to me by admin I am going to [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1976_Summer_Olympics&diff=next&oldid=683380976  re-insert] Caitlyn Jenner in this article (as I tried to last month) to soften her dead name and to clarify and wikilink to her live name. Per Guy we may need to go a step further and completely delete her dead name, as consensus is never permitted to override policy (that is another policy). There are ongoing WP:VPP discussions to tweak the MOS:IDENTITY policy. Cheers! Checkingfax (talk) 20:58, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Pardon? The current consensus is as per the closing of Village pump (policy)/Archive 121. Until a new consensus is established that's the consensus to live by. --Francis Schonken (talk) 07:11, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

 * , as admonished to me by admin Guy, consensus can never override POLICY. MOS:IDENTITY is the current POLICY. My plan soon is just to put her live name in parentheses and leave her dead name in the lead like I did last month. For today, I just pipe wikilinked from her live name to her dead name. Cheers! ... Checkingfax  ( Talk )  03:36, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Current consensus isn't a "local" consensus, it was produced at Village pump (policy) – that's where policy is decided. As for the update to MOS:IDENTITY: that's currently under discussion... at Village pump (policy) – please participate in these two RfC discussions. Pending all that it is preferable to have "status quo" on this page, on the last established consensus. --Francis Schonken (talk) 05:30, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

 * But the WP:VPP discussions have not fruited any POLICY changes yet. We're stuck with WP:ACDS for now. Cheers! ... Checkingfax  ( Talk )  11:55, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

 * No, as I said from the outset, for now we're "stuck" (if that's the way you want to express it) with a community consensus that came into existence at Village pump (policy). Discretionary sanctions only enter the scene when not abiding to consensus. --Francis Schonken (talk) 12:25, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

 * , no new POLICY was fruited from that discussion per who wrote the conclusion and per admin . You got a [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Francis_Schonken&diff=668527040&oldid=668048881 DS alert] on June 23, 2015 alerting  you that the DS covers all transgender (code pa) affiliated pages. You only have to be reminded once per year. You've also been reminded repeatedly to provide edit summaries, which you continue to fail to do. Cheers! ... Checkingfax  ( Talk )  13:00, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * And...? Not sure what you're trying to say here. Drmies' closure was clear on what it meant for this article, and that that was not to be seen as an infraction on the MoS. Sorry about edit summaries for talk page edits, I've not been "reminded repeatedly" that I should use them (I'm quite consciencious about using them for all other types of edits). Seems like the intent of your message is that I now should warn you formally about abiding to the current consensus, in view of the discreditionary sanctions status of this page. I go from the assumption you're bright enough to capture that without the "formal" part. Also, please again, participate in the current WP:VPP discussions about the WP:IDENTITY update. Better to be part of the consensus than advocate exceptions post factum, isn't it? --Francis Schonken (talk) 13:28, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

, Last month you removed Caitlyn Jenner's live name that was in parentheses and then took it a step further by removing the piped wikilink from her live name and replacing it with a dead named redirect wikilink. You totally nuked her live name and her hidden live named wikilink. How do you rationalize that? Especially after getting the ACDS warning back in June. ... Checkingfax  ( Talk )  13:58, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The reasons were given in the edit summaries of the mainspace edits (usually a link to the closure of the VPP discussion), and further explained here, so I'm not sure what's more to be done. --Francis Schonken (talk) 14:23, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Dealing with transgender people in "X men and Y women"

How many actually joined the boycott?
From http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/july/17/newsid_3555000/3555450.stm: "The list of those boycotting the Olympics is: Libya, Iraq, Kenya, Zambia, Nigeria, Gambia, Sudan, Ghana, Tanzania, Uganda, Algeria, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Central African Republic, Gabon, Chad, Togo, Niger, Congo, Mauritius, Upper Volta and Malawi."

That is 22, and from that list we can add Cameroon, Guyana, Mali, Swaziland, Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia. So then it would add up to 29. The other non-participating NOCs didn't show up for other various reasons.1982vdven (talk) 18:28, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

 * For further context, see this section of this talk page.

Template at top of this talk page
We need a template at the top of this talk page that makes it clear that although the Caitlyn Jenner article is supposed to treat Jenner like a woman, this article is supposed to treat Jenner like a man per the "use context to decide" words. Any thoughts?? Georgia guy (talk) 00:36, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Photo caption
"East German athletes Hans-Georg Reimann, Karl-Heinz Müller and Waldemar Cierpinski at the Olympic Village"

According to the wikilink provided, Karl-Heinz Müller was an Austrian athlete. There could conceivably have been a GDR athlete with a similar name, but having looked at Müller (surname) I see no obvious candidate. Can anyone shed any light? Harfarhs (talk) 07:47, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Please extend the template
There's a template at the top of this talk page saying:

Other articles should use context to determine which name or names to provide on a case-by-case basis.

This doesn't give any emphasis to how it applies to this article. Please emphasize this sentence so that it says something like (feel free to think of a better wording):

Contrary to consistency with the main Caitlyn Jenner article, which treats her as a woman, this article should treat her as a man because of its context.

Any thoughts on this?? Georgia guy (talk) 23:50, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Charles Brown (New Zealand politician)

Charles Brown (1820 – 2 September 1901) was a New Zealand politician from the Taranaki area.

Personal life
Brown was born in London, England, the son of Charles Armitage Brown (the close friend and biographer of the poet John Keats) and Abigail O'Donohue, an Irish house servant at Wentworth Place where Brown and Keats resided. Brown said later in life that his parents were married in a Catholic service in Ireland in August 1819, but this claim seems to be discounted by biographers as an attempt to cover up his illegitimacy, which was a social stigma in those times.

At the age of two, he was taken by his father to Italy, where they lived for a number of years, initially in Pisa and later in Florence. Brown received all his early education in Italy from his father. In his writings his father refers to his son by the name "Carlino", and this appeared to be his commonly used name in England and Europe. In 1826 at age six, Carlino's portrait was painted by artist Joseph Severn, who had nursed John Keats in his final illness and was a close friend of his father.

Around 1836 in order to provide a better education for Brown, they returned to England and lived in Plymouth. Unlike his literary father, Brown had a more pragmatic nature and was attracted to civil engineering.

In 1840, his father became a shareholder in the newly formed Plymouth Company, which aimed to colonise New Plymouth, New Zealand. Shortly afterwards, his father's finances were ruined when he was forced to repay a friend's loan having agreed to be guarantor. With what little fortune remained to him, his father decided that they should emigrate to New Plymouth, as a pioneer community would provide the best opportunities for Carlino as a civil engineer given their limited capital. Aged 17, Brown junior emigrated on the Amelia Thompson, the first settler ship of the Plymouth Company, arriving in 1841. His father followed on the Oriental, arriving three weeks later.

Brown and his father lived on top of a hill near the mouth of Te Henui stream, in what is now the suburb of Welbourn. The short Brown Street in that area is named in the family's honour.

Brown's father died of an apoplectic stroke on 5 June 1842, only eight months after his arrival in New Plymouth. He was buried on Marsland Hill above the original St Mary's church.

Brown married twice; first, on 13 May 1851, Margaret Joy Horne with whom he had four daughters (and a son who died as a baby), and then Jessie Northcroft, with whom he had twin sons and a daughter. The children of the first marriage included: and from his second marriage:
 * Laura Brown (later Mrs Tobin)
 * Jessie Brown (later Mrs Brown)
 * Lucy Brown
 * William A. Brown
 * Charles Keats Brown
 * Mona Martha Brown (later Mrs Gordon Osbourne)

Professional life
In 1839, Brown went to Midhurst in West Sussex to visit his uncle William. There he met Robert Chorley who agreed to employ and train him as a millwright and engineer. After serving a probationary term, Brown complained to his father that Chorley was no more than a simple millwright, and so after his apprenticeship he would have to look for employment elsewhere to obtain the promised qualification. By the end of the following year, the arrangement with Chorley was ended and Brown was engaged on designing a "machine for cutting tobacco".

Brown brought saw-milling equipment with him to New Plymouth and established a successful timber business. He also founded and owned the newspaper Taranaki News from 1859.

In 1855, Carlino Brown – now, in New Zealand, known as Charles – became a member of the militia with the rank of Captain. He served in the New Zealand Wars, in particular, the First Taranaki War and the Second Taranaki War. In 1860, Brown commanded a force of 150 militia and volunteers in a major battle against three or four hundred Maori at Waireka Hill. He was promoted to the rank of Major on 7 November 1864. He was widely known as "The Major" in his community thereafter.

Political career
In 1852, the Constitution Act divided the colony into six provinces, each with an elected Provincial Council and governed by a Superintendent. On 16 July 1853 at age 33, Charles Brown was elected first Superintendent of the Taranaki Provincial Government. He was defeated at the next election and retired from the position on 4 January 1857. On 24 May 1861, he was again elected as Superintendent, holding that office until 4 September 1865. After the death of Edward Stafford in February 1901, he became the last surviving member of the six original provincial superintendents elected in 1853.

He served two separate terms in the 2nd New Zealand Parliament as representative for the Grey and Bell electorate. He was elected at the general election on 8 November 1855 and resigned on 16 August 1856 to (unsuccessfully) contest the superintendency.

He contested a 17 May 1858 by-election against Dillon Bell in the Grey and Bell electorate. Brown and Bell received 75 and 61 votes, respectively. Brown was thus declared elected. He resigned in 1860, when his militia service required his full attention.

He later served in the 3rd New Zealand Parliament as representative for the Town of New Plymouth electorate from 1864 to 1865, and in the 4th New Zealand Parliament as representative for the Omata electorate from 1868 to 1870.

He was Colonial Treasurer (forerunner to the modern Minister of Finance) in the first Fox Ministry under Premier William Fox.

With three others, Brown contested the New Plymouth electorate in the, but he came last.

Later life
Later in life, Charles served the community of New Plymouth as a Maori interpreter, having learned the language and customs of the Maori people over his long life in New Plymouth.

In the 1890s, Brown donated memorabilia of John Keats to the Keats House museum. Some he had inherited from his father, Keats' friend Charles Armitage Brown, while others were obtained from Keats' relatives and friends and their descendants with whom the Brown family remained in contact over the years. His descendants continued to donate Keats memorabilia over the years.

In 1901, aged 81, he stepped back into the path of a train in New Plymouth while crossing the main street of the town and was killed. The death of such a local celebrity, which was witnessed by many citizens, led to the relocation of the railway line.

Like his father, he was buried on Marsland Hill. His headstone names him as Charles Keats Brown.

Popular culture
Charles Brown featured in the 2009 film Bright Star, written and directed by Jane Campion which focuses on the final years of John Keats' life and his relationship with Fanny Brawne and Charles's father Charles Armitage Brown. In the film, Charles Armitage Brown (played by actor Paul Schneider) is presented as close to "a villain, a cynical boor who knocks up his housemaid (Antonia Campbell-Hughes) and banishes Fanny so the boys can work on their plays and poems". Abigail, the pregnant housemaid in the movie was presumably intended to represent Abigail O'Donohue, Charles Brown's mother. In one scene, Abigail shows off her baby to the Brawne family.

Nick Sagan

Nicholas Julian Zapata Sagan (born September 16, 1970) is an American novelist and screenwriter. He is the author of the science fiction novels Idlewild, Edenborn, and Everfree, and has also written scripts for episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager. He is the son of astronomer Carl Sagan and artist and writer Linda Salzman.

Life
At age six, Sagan's greeting, "Hello from the children of planet Earth," was recorded and placed aboard NASA's Voyager Golden Record. Launched with a selection of terrestrial greetings, sights, sounds and music, the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft are now the most distant man-made objects in the universe, with Voyager 1 having left the Solar System on August 25, 2012, being the first to do so. Sagan went to the Mirman School as a child and received his bachelor's degree from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Sagan has been writing for Hollywood since 1992, crafting screenplays, teleplays, animation episodes and computer games. He has two older brothers; his brother Dorion is a science writer. He has worked for a variety of studios and production companies, including Paramount, Warner Brothers, New Line, Universal, Disney, actor/producer Tom Cruise, and directors David Fincher and Martin Scorsese.

Sagan co-wrote the award-winning computer adventure game, Zork Nemesis: The Forbidden Lands. His film credits include adaptations of novels by Orson Scott Card, Ursula K. Le Guin, Pierre Ouellette and Charles Pellegrino. His television credits include two episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and five episodes of Star Trek: Voyager, where he worked as a story editor.

At the turn of the millennium, astronaut Sally Ride recruited him to work for SPACE.com as Executive Producer of Entertainment & Games. During his tenure at SPACE.com, the inspiration for a series of novels came to Sagan, and he sold the Idlewild Trilogy to Penguin Putnam in 2002.

Idlewild received a starred review from Kirkus, a Book Sense 76 pick, and selection from both Borders and Barnes & Noble as one of the best science fiction/fantasy novels of the year. Neil Gaiman called it "absolutely fun, like a roller-coaster ride of fusion fiction" and "the kind of book you simply don't want to stop reading."

Edenborn continues the story from Idlewild (however it can also be read as a standalone). SFX Magazine gave Edenborn a perfect five star review, declaring it "one of the best post-apocalyptic novels you will ever read." SF Crowsnest hailed Sagan as "an adrenaline shot straight into the heart of science fiction," while SF Site called the novel "elegant SF, dark and haunting, with characters who linger in memory long after the last page is turned."

The series' third instalment, Everfree, was praised by Sci Fi Weekly as being "startlingly original" and "undeniably satisfying and triumphant." Kirkus remarked that "Sagan's mind-blowing post-apocalyptic trilogy comes to a satisfying, terrifying conclusion." They went on to hail the book as "a powerful plea for sensible human cooperation delivered via a knockout story."

Sagan taught screenwriting at Cornell University in the spring of 2007. He currently teaches screenwriting at Ithaca College. Both institutions are in Ithaca, New York.

Retirement age

This article lists the statutory retirement age in different countries. In some contexts, the retirement age is the age at which a person is expected or required to cease work. It is usually the age at which such a person may be entitled to receive superannuation or other government benefits, like a state pension.

History and establishment
The first recorded use of a state pension was established in the Roman Empire in 13 BC by Augustus for military veterans who had served for at least 16 years in a legion and four years in the reserves. This was later increased to 20 years in a legion and five years in the reserves. In the United States, states historically lack a retirement age even though labor force participation rates began to fall dramatically after the age of 60.

The first retirement age was set in Germany by Otto Von Bismarck in 1881, originally at 70, before being reduced to 65 in 1916. Following this, more countries began to adopt an official retirement age, such as Britain with the passage of the Old Age Pensions Act 1908, which set the initial retirement age at 70 before it being reduced to 65 for men and 60 for women with the passage of the National Insurance Act 1946.

The United States adopted an initial retirement age of 65, under the bill of the Social Security Act of 1935. By the mid-20th century, almost all countries had adopted a retirement age.

Political considerations
Policymakers usually consider the demography, fiscal cost of aging, health, life expectancy, nature of the profession, supply of labor force, and more, while taking the retirement age into account. The increase in life expectancy is used in some jurisdictions as an argument to increase the age of retirement in the 21st century.

Retirement age by country and region
Many of the countries listed in the table below are in the process of reforming retirement ages. The current trend in many countries is that the retirement age will increase gradually.

Many European Union member states apply a retirement age of 65 years in the 2020s. This is to be increased to 67 years in most countries by 2030.

In some countries, one's year of birth determines their age of retirement. For example, in the United States as of 2024, while a person born before 1955 can retire with social security benefits at the age of 66, those born after 1959 must be 67. Each year between 1955 and 1959 adds 2 months. Many countries in Europe follow the same type of criteria, with one's age of retirement determined by their birth year, for example in Romania, women born in 1955 had their retirement age in 2015 set at age 60 whereas those born in 1958 could retire in 2019 at age 61 and those born in 1961 can retire in January 2023 at age 62.

The average of statutory retirement age in the 34 countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2014 was males 65 years and females 63.5 years, but the tendency all over the world is to increase the retirement age. This is also reflected by the findings that just over half the Asian investors surveyed region-wide said they agreed with raising the retirement age, with a quarter disagreeing and the remainder undecided.

Reform
Reforms tend to be phased in slowly when the retirement age (or pension age) is increased with grandfathering, ensuring a gradual change. In contrast, when the age of retirement is decreased, changes are often brought about rapidly.

One of such examples of grandfathering is the transitional pension rules, which were applied for staff aged 54 years or older, and to some extent, for all staff in place, when in 2014, the retirement age of European civil servants was increased to 66 years of age.

Men retire either later than women or at the same time. This is being addressed in some countries, where the retirement ages are being equalized.

Power FM 98.1

Power FM 98.1 (call sign: 2VLY) is a local radio station in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales, Australia. It is based in Muswellbrook, and serves listeners in Muswellbrook, Singleton, Scone, Aberdeen, Merriwa, Murrurundi and surrounding areas.

It is owned and operated by ARN, and is licensed to subsidiary Radio Hunter Valley, along with sister stations 2NM and 94.5 Hot Country. Along with 2NM, it operates from studios at 100 Bridge Street, Muswellbrook. Power FM commenced operations on 7 June 1995, as Radio Hunter Valley's supplementary licence, following a series of test simulcasts of 2NM.

The station transmits on 98.1 MHz on the FM band, from a transmitter site atop Mount Arthur, near the town of Muswellbrook. The station is licensed to operate at 20 kilowatts, but is reportedly restricted to 10 kilowatts to prevent its signal from spilling into the nearby Newcastle and Tamworth markets. The station also operates a translator on 102.7 MHz in Merriwa, broadcasting from the Bandera Downs transmission site with a power output of 50 watts. This frequency was launched in 2004 with the support of the federal government's radio blackspots program.

Currently, the station airs an adult contemporary format, featuring music from the 1980s through to today's top 40 hits, aimed at an audience aged under 35.

In 2009, it began streaming its programs online, along with 2NM.

In November 2021, Power FM, along with other stations owned by Grant Broadcasters, were acquired by the ARN. This deal will allow Grant's stations, including Power FM, to access ARN's iHeartRadio platform in regional areas. The deal was finalized on 4 January 2022. It is expected Power FM 98.1 will integrate with ARN's KIIS Network, but will retain its current name according to the press release from ARN.

I'd like to add it to the list of pages needing follow-up at Pages needing translation into English, but normally we don't list things there that are going through VfD for other reasons, and you seem to be saying that even if translated you'd want it deleted.

Untitled
202.8.13.68, Hereafter is not the same episode as The Savage Time. The naunces of the origins of episode name without anything else relating to the episodes is too jarring and unatural for some people, such as me. -Apostrophe

Complaints
Does anybody else notice that it seems like this whole wiki is a list of complaints against the creator's of the show? Why did we even write this if we all hate it so much.--Gillespee 22:46, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Indeed the page does have an overabundance of complaints. Some are viable though. I would like to form some kind of collaboration to improve this article.-

Finite 01:34, 21 December 2005 (UTC) 01:33, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Are there some complaints we could remove? Should we add in more positive things?--Gillespee 17:45, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think any of the complaints warrant removal as they all have been targeted at the show, but this sucker certainly needs a bit more positivity. I think more information about what it's praised for, about it's production, how accurately it portrays the characters, that sort of thing, would be helpful.--Finite 21:55, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

I can't imagine anything WORSE to include in an 'encyclopedic' article on Justice League than fan complaints. Comic fans, by nature, complain about any changes; no matter what, we're going to be able to find people who had problems with just about every choice Timm and Co made. Simnel 18:29, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I cut the 'Controversy' section. No other comic book page has a section on 'Stuff fans bitch about'. Simnel 01:15, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Controversy
Justice League proved very popular with fans of the comic book and the previous animated versions of Batman and Superman by Bruce Timm, but some fans were disappointed in the show's depiction of Batman, criticizing Timm and the other writers having a bias in favor of Batman against the other characters, most notably Superman. Citing many instances where Batman achieved feats that technically even he isn't capable of and of displaying far more intelligence than Superman, at times practically the only member of the League who actually does think while the others just listen and follow, with Superman in particular coming off as a mere "country bumpkin" or as someone for the other Leaguers to disagree with. Some fans have labeled the Justice League depiction of Batman as a "Bat-God". Some fans also feel that Timm in general dislikes Superman, perhaps because the Kryptonian's rigid morals can at times be at odds with those of his team-mates, making him the "goodie two shoes" type. Timm has countered these complaints with the simple fact that he would never devote himself to a full show based on Superman - Superman: The Animated Series - if he did not harbor significant affection for the character. Additionally, it is often noted (e.g., in the book Batman: Animated or in Modern Masters: Bruce Timm) that Timm and company very much love the Fleischer Superman shorts, which contributed greatly to the style and approach for Batman: The Animated Series.

Some fans have taken issue with the romantic interest Wonder Woman displays towards Batman in the series. Some think it is a perfect use of the opposites attract plot device, but others feel that it is forced and does not make much sense. It is worth noting that in the comic book series JLA, Batman and Wonder Woman found themselves attracted to each other, and discussed the matter, ultimately resolving to stay as friends and comrades - which happened after the Justice League animated series debuted.

Fans have also taken issue with the series depiction of the Flash/Wally West. While the third Flash has always been laid back and sardonic in the comic books, and many agree that he is well voiced by Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor of Smallville, ironically), but some feel that the Flash is all too often relegated to being merely a comic relief character or "the funny one". Later episodes would allow the Flash to display more power and talent when using his super speed, and practically saves the world in the penultimate episode of the second season of JLU.

Additionally, some fans were genuinely upset that Aquaman, a founding member of the Justice League in the comic books, was not included as a regular member of the Justice League, as he had had a cameo on S:TAS similar to that of the Flash, and had been featured prominently in Superfriends.

Bat-Embargo
I took the following out:

A so-called "Bat-Embargo" was introduced at the start of the third season when the series became "Unlimited" due to the creation of The Batman (2004), which prevented Timm from using any of Batman's villains or supporting characters. This did not, however, limit Timm and company too much and allowed the development of lesser-known characters.

This is already talked about on the JLU page, and isn't really significant to the original Justice League series. If there are two articles, the differences should be respected. Simnel 01:13, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Animated Series Batman (character) sandbox
Batman: The Animated Series/Animated Series Batman (character)

During the creation of of that "late" article I always stated that it was a draft or unproject. It took weeks until Bennon cleverly figured out what I was trying to do was a sandbox (which I didn't know how to do until now). Now everyone can edit it with no time pressure and talk about what to do with the info when i's finally finished. I coul'd have created the sandbox in my own talk page, but I don't want anyone to assume I "OWN" the project. Feel free to erase, add and source stuff to improve it.--T-man, the wise 22:34, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Adult-ish content
I'm in the process of watching JL for the first time, having just watched the complete Season 1 box and am now halfway through season 2. I confess to having only seen bits and pieces of the previous DC-based series (Superman and Batman) so maybe this is par-for-the-course, but is it worth noting that JL, for a kid's show, has some surprisingly adult references? For example the indication that Green Lantern and Hawkgirl become lovers, in one season 2 episode we see a woman in bed with a man, in the Metamorpho episode we see Metamorpho's girlfriend flirting with GL wearing nothing but a towel; there are occasional overt references to Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl being sexy, and in the S2 episode Maid of Honor Part One I was floored by an undeniable sexual reference (the partying princess telling Wonder Woman she wants to "go out with a bang - or several, if you get my meaning"). I'm not complaining by any means, and I know that one reason why the WB's DC animations have been so popular is because they appeal to both kids and adult viewers, but I wonder if JL marked any sort of transition. If it didn't and the earlier show's were like this, too, I'll have to check them out! 23skidoo 05:21, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

 * One more to add to the list (though if you're only half way through Season 2 you won't have seen it yet) is the intro to Wild Cards. I agree with your observations, however our problem is finding them published in some kind of reputable source to avoid original research.  Maybe Bruce Timm talked somewhere about pushing the boundaries.  The jump to cable couldn't have hurt.--Gillespee 16:05, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

It's not surprising at all, the DCAU has always dealt with adult-ish content. The writers and producers of the show look at the DCAU alot like the comics, they hold it to the same standard. I mean have you read comics lately? People are getting fists physically punched through their head, being raped, becoming drug addicts (alot of which comics have been doing for years). Infact, I remember an interview where Bruce Timm (I think it was Bruce Timm, anyway)... stated that they hold the DCAU to the same standard as shows like Friends. Meaning that kids have been watching things like Friends and Seinfeld, and what-have-you for ages. So there's no need to tune down the DCAU. --156.34.89.13 17:16, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think You are assuming the DCAU are "kids shows", when they are not made with kids in mind. Kids watch them, but they are more like shows for the adult comic book fans. Rhino131 (talk) 15:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Five seasons in four years?
The introduction seems to imply that there was five seasons in four years. Is that correct?--Per Abrahamsen 08:45, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

No, it's actually in six years (2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 AND 2006), I think you are a little bitt confused. Batman tas 17:24, 7 March 2007 (GMT+2)

Casting/character section.

 * I have a ton of problems with this section, so I'm just going to reprint the whole thing, as it stands today, and make points that I think need to be addressed. Overall, though, the thing that's most striking is that there are no sources whatsoever for any of the statements made.  The prose is well written, but there's gotta be at least some attempt to source it.

Kevin Conroy reprised his role as the voice of Batman, a part he had played since Batman: The Animated Series(TAS) (1992-1995), The New Batman Adventures(TNBA) (1997-1999), and Batman Beyond (1999-2001). Because Justice League was set after the events of Batman: TAS and TNBA but before Beyond, Conroy pitched his voice to a range in between the voices he'd used in both series. It was harsher than the voice he spoke with in TAS but softer than in Beyond, it was similar in tone to the voice he used for TNBA. In addition, Batman's uniform was also redesigned. Much like the Beyond uniform, the pointy ears on his cowl were made much more prominent and heels were added to his boots. Also, a dark shade of violet replaced the blue highlights in the original TAS uniform.
 * Really? Where do we get that Controy intentionally changed the timbre of his voice?

Tim Daly, who voiced Superman in his previous animated series, did some early recordings, but was ultimately unable to reprise his role due to his involvement with the short-lived remake series of The Fugitive. He was replaced by George Newbern, who was criticized by fans during the first season, feeling that his Superman lacked both the everyman feel and heroic authority that Daly brought to the role. Bruce Timm has said that this was more the fault of himself and his staff than Newbern's, and has openly defended Newbern. Since then, many fans have agreed that Newbern improved significantly during the second season, with a consensus that both Newbern and his predecessor Daly had merits in their respective portrayals of Superman.
 * This is entirely unsourced and weasel worded. Who are "some fans", "many fans"?  Where do we get Daly's unavailability from?  If Timm was so "open" in his defense of Newbern, surely it should be easy to cite an instance of this defense.

Superman was initially redesigned to have a bit of a squint to his eyes and slight wrinkles that was also meant to make him look older, in addition to having a noticeable shining streak to his hair; he was redesigned to appear larger in physical girth than in his previous series. Fans did not like the older appearance and in the second season the streak was toned down to the point of almost disappearing and the squint was removed, in essence Superman reverted to his earlier animated series look. As an in-joke, Superman's Season One facial designs are used for an older Jor-El in the Justice League Unlimited episode For the Man Who Has Everything.
 * Almost certainly true, but again, nothing is sourced here. I'm a little dubious that fan wishes forced the hand of Timm and company to change their character designs, though.  Timm has shown frequent ability to stand up to fans if he really felt strongly about something, as is evidenced by DVD commentaries surrounding choices made with Hawkgirl.  Is it that Timm took on board fan comment, or is it just that the creative teams themselves decided that things weren't working with the original character designs?  I think, somehow, it's probably a little more complicated than just "fanboys didn't like it, so we changed it".

Most of the characters retained their general comic book origins and continuity, with Wonder Woman being the notable exception. In the Justice League series continuity, the premiere story arc "Secret Origins" removing the plot of Diana's competition against her fellow Amazons to be the ambassador of peace to man's world, and she is referred to as a "rookie" superhero during her first encounter with the League. (Subsequent episodes touched on her attempts to adjust to her new world). Additionally, the character of The Flash was portrayed as somewhat younger and significantly more brash than his comic book counterpart, taking on a number of personality traits of Plastic Man, who provides a similar comic relief function in the Justice League of America comics. Major changes were also made to the Hawkgirl character. John Stewart's Green Lantern was also changed significantly from the civilian architect in the comic continuity to a hardnosed ex-marine for the show.
 * From here on out, the section makes no sense at all. It says that "most" characters retained their comic book roots, but then goes on to say that 4 of the characters were in fact substantially different from their comic counterparts.  Since there are only 7 characters, "most" in fact were significantly different.  Throw in the later claims about Martian Manhunter and the Batman/Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl/Jon Stewart romances, and, really, there was a significant attempt to forge new dramatic ground in the series.  Not to mention the fact that the Martian Manhunter is the essential cause for the origin of the Justice League — something quite at variance with any comic telling.  Powers basically the same?  Yes.  Broad brush similarities in personalities and origins?  Kinda.    But the details and continuing character subplots are wholly novel to this series.  Substantial work needs to be done here just to make the thing accurate, much less sourced and encyclopedic

María Canals was cast as Hawkgirl based on her Hispanic accent, which the producers felt would make Hawkgirl appear more foreign and alien against her team mates. The character of Hawkgirl became romantically involved with the John Stewart Green Lantern as the series progressed, while a relationship between Batman and Wonder Woman was also hinted by the show's creators, who disliked the fans' insistence on pairing Wonder Woman with Superman.
 * Pretty sure that this statement about Maria Canalis is true, but it needs to be sourced.

In the comic books, the Martian Manhunter / J'onn J'onzz has a power called "Martian Vision" which has been shown both as a beam of pure force (an extension of the telekinesis that allows him to fly), and essentially the same as Superman's heat vision. Neither power was ever shown in the series, dropped presumably in favor of his phasing power, shapeshifting and telepathy. The Martian Manhunter was only referred to by that name in one episode and otherwise called simply J'onn.

Although the series itself is animated in traditional 2-dimensional style, the opening credits are rendered in 3D with toon shading.
 * I don't think that's entirely true. Some of the stuff, notably in "Starcrossed" is CGI, if I recall my commentary correctly.  And the Watchtower exteriors themselves certainly seems like it's 3D.  I think this statement is too absolute.

 Czech Out  ☎ |  ✍  04:31, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Many of those things are things from bonus features of the DVD sets. I know Superman's Season 1 design and Batman's redesign are mentioned and talked about. Conroy's voice is something that I don't think was specifically spelled out, it is obvious, especially when you watch an ep of B:TAS and then Justice League, you can hear the difference. Then again, I don't know if that kind of detail is necessary. Seems more like a mixture of "no duh" and "huh, interesting" like trivia. I haven't heard anything about fans reacting negatively towards Newburn in the first season, but I think the thing with Daly being unavailable is true (might have to check his page for the source). And the last point I think is okay, as long as it's just changed from "most" to "some." Anakinjmt (talk) 17:14, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Character page section.
While it's good to have a list of who voiced the roles, I really felt there should be another page that explains the character story arc, appearances, love interest and villains like other articles that talks about cartoon characters and the depth that makes them different or human. Don't take it the wrong way but I understand the nightmare of doing another page like a newspaper. If I have to do it, I'll have to take baby steps before burning my hands for typing so much. If anyone's reading this, have a think and give it a chance since my ideas are kind of a dud. Thanks.

Nicodemus National Historic Site

Nicodemus National Historic Site, located in Nicodemus, Kansas, United States, preserves, protects and interprets the only remaining western town established by African Americans during the Reconstruction Period following the American Civil War. The town of Nicodemus is symbolic of the pioneer spirit of African Americans who dared to leave the only region they had been familiar with to seek personal freedom and the opportunity to develop their talents and capabilities. The site was named, at least in part, for a legendary African-American slave featured in abolitionist Henry Clay Work's "Wake, Nicodemus (1864)." It is a mystical story of an old slave died away and buried in a hollow tree who had asked to be awakened on the Day of Jubilee.

Buildings
The historic site contains five buildings:
 * Township Hall (now home to a temporary visitor center)
 * African Methodist Episcopal Church
 * First Baptist Church
 * St. Francis Hotel
 * Nicodemus School District #1 Schoolhouse

History
Nicodemus was founded in 1877, led by Rev. W.H. Smith, a black minister, and W.R. Hill, a white land developer, and five other black men who formed the Nicodemus Town Company and began visiting churches in Kentucky to encourage people to move to Kansas. Kansas was a free state, part of the Underground Railroad and home to abolitionist John Brown. Handbills and flyers distributed by the company called Nicodemus a place for "African Americans to establish a black self-government."

By the mid-1880s Nicodemus was a small, bustling town. There were two newspapers, three general stores and at least three churches. The town had a number of small hotels, an ice cream parlor, bank, livery and a number of homes. The population was an estimated 700 at the town's heyday.

To ensure growth the town needed the railroad. The residents of Nicodemus made several attempts to reach out to various railroad companies in an attempt to attract a rail line to Nicodemus, but it was all to no avail. The railroad passed to the south. Over time people moved closer to the railway and established a new town called Bogue. Bogue has a population of 173 today.

Perhaps one of Nicodemus's most famous residents is Veryl Switzer. Switzer was an All-American football player for Kansas State in 1951, 1952 and 1953. He went on to play two seasons for the National Football League Green Bay Packers, before taking leave to serve in the U.S. Air Force. He resumed his professional career with the Packers after 2½ years in the military. He later went on to play for the Calgary Stampeders and the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League before retiring.

Switzer is now farming 840 acre, in Nicodemus, and is one of the top investors in the creation of a flour mill there. A co-op was formed in 1999; and, while "Promised Land Flour" and "Nicodemus Pancake Mix" are being marketed, the flour mill has not yet been built.

The site is still home to several descendants of the original settlers.

In 1976, Nicodemus was designated a National Historic Landmark. It was designated a National Historic Site by an Act of Congress in 1996.
