Talk:Maputo

Outdated Information
I have removed several outdated references, such as this one for the 'The 2nd DOCKANEMA festival is scheduled for September 14 - 25, 2007, and will include more than 80 films.' It being May 2009 now I thought it well that this information be removed, until someone with more knowledge can update that section, I have referenced the "Dockanema" website but it is in portuguese and as I am not fluent, I am not able to update this section with the relevant updated information about any upcoming events for 2009.

I will remove it for now, if someone knows of the next event by the collective and finds it warranted to be included in the city page then by all means re-add it.

Demographics
Any stats on the city's demographics aside from its population count and 'notable residents'? Seems like a no-brainer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.174.65.182 (talk) 06:37, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Reality & Relevance
I have changed several parts of the article so that they are up to date and reflect the enormous changes that are taking place in the city. I have removed, or cut down on the points which represent the city negatively. I feel it is unjust to criticise it in that way, especially considering that much effort is being put into improving the city-life. So please do not alter the article by adding subjective information (sometimes done unconsciously) or elaborating it with a personal essay. I have also lived in Maputo, practically born there and have lived in the 1st world for several years now. Please give credit where its due. Maputo is not Stockholm.

NPOV
Terms like "native" and "tribal villages" have associations that are not conducive to NPOV (what's tribal affiliation got to do with building maintenance?). Besides, Maputo was the centre of post-independence government and thus many of the people moving into Maputo were the new governmental and administrative elite (not sure of the exact numbers tho). And "all but destroyed" is putting it a bit strong. I've been visiting Maputo once or twice a year since the mid-90s and most of the pre-independence houses are/were still standing! Pretty run down, and services often cut, but hardly "all but destroyed".

Have rephrased this section in an attempt to make it more NPOV.

--ThirdWorldEye

Being born and raised there, I can say that most of the infrastructure existing today really IS rundown and in need of a revamp. It is sad to see that MozAl (Mozambican Aluminium), a joint South African-Australian venture recently setup near Maputo, accounts for about 2% (last time i checked) of total Mozambican exports. And this is an aluminium refinery(?) with a working force of less than 2000 people (once again, last time I checked, not taking into consideration further expansions they were carrying out). This project was undertaken in Mozambique and not South Africa, where the purified aluminium is then taken for shipping, because it is too polluting. Offer a few bribes to the government and they close both eyes on the environmental effects. Although Mozambique is in bad shape now, it is home, after all, and nothing will change that. There is also a lot of beauty to be found everywhere, its just that who is in charge should make a bigger effort for a better country.

The InTeRLoPeR

Date of establishment
All the languages that were translated directly from English read, as this one did until now, that Maputo (Lourenco Marques) was founded in the "late 18th century"... However, those articles that are independent of this English one, namely the German and French ones, give more specific dates, in the late 19th century. The German article states that it was established (as Lourenco Marques) in 1875, while the French says this happened in 1876. I suspect "late 18th century" was an error that crept from here into several other languages. 70.16.251.230 22:26, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Africans vs. non-Africans in Mozambique
Today as in the past, the unskilled African majority lives in poverty for Western European and North American standards. Furthermore, the tribal/rural African had a totally different way of life linked with the natural environment, mystical traditions and subsistence economy. Licor (talk) 16:19, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, not according to the "Luso-tropicalist" view of the Estado Novo as in force after the 1960s (after the start of the liberation/terrorist wars). All, from Minho to Timor were equally Portuguese so I don't understand why the fantastic economic development of the period left the unskilled majority (why were they left unskilled?) behind. May be black Africans are genetically immune to modernization? Teixant (talk) 21:14, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It has nothing to do with the genes. Obviously, there was an unskilled white majority in mainland Portugal too. Portugal, from Minho to Timor, was a developing country facing a communist-inspired guerrilla movement. Licor (talk) 02:00, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

This is Portugal
I removed the statement from the lead section that Maputo "was famous for the inscription 'This is Portugal' on the walkway of its municipal building". This statement is unreferenced and hardly belongs to the lead section. Interesting thing is that it was inserted by User:AP1MZ on 19 December 2010 (dif), almost 3 years ago! He inserted this statement without any explanation or discussion and without references. Vanjagenije (talk) 20:27, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Agree!! Teixant (talk) 12:38, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

The statement was added by me in 2010 when I noticed it was no longer there. I have now added the source. It reflects the origins, culture and establishment of the city which is not possible quite so eloquently in any other way. Please be assured that I am not Portuguese, nor do I support or endorse their sordid political activities. I do however think they have contributed greatly to the development of the city and the article now accurately reflects this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AP1MZ (talk • contribs) 11:40, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree that the phrase might have some historical significance and therefore could be placed in the "Portuguese Rule" section, although without the Fondly, or at least mentioning who might look fondly at the sign still today. Teixant (talk) 18:58, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

I still do not think that the statement is relevant enough for the overall description of the city to be in the heading (it is not a question of source), but somebody else will deal with that. The statement now is neutral enough to be encyclopedic... Teixant (talk) 12:25, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I moved this statement to the "Portuguese rule" section. The role of the wp:lead section is to "serve as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important aspects"(see: WP:LEAD). This sentence does not belong to the lead section, as it does not summarize the article (there is nothing about it in the article), nor is it the "most important aspects" of the article.

What is missing from the recently created city timeline article? Please add relevant content. Contributions welcome. Thank you. -- M2545 (talk) 14:55, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Name in 1975-76
It is presently represented as having been named "Lourenco Marques" right up until it was renamed "Maputo",and the name "Can Phumo" as having been expected but never enacted. However,the 1975 National Geographic Atlas uses "Can Phumo" and the annual supplements issued thereafter all say it was renamed Can Phumo at independence and then renamed Maputo on February 3,1976. Is it definite that Can Phumo was never official,as opposed to being superseded while there were still a lot of Lourenco Marques signs around?12.144.5.2 (talk) 22:17, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
 * There is a legal document for the change from Lourenço Marques to Maputo (Decreto-Lei nº 10/76, de 13.01.1976:- A Capital de Moçambique passa a designar-se “MAPUTO”, e altera as designações de algumas Cidades e Localidades da República Popular de Moçambique. (BR nº 5, de 13.01.1976) but there is nothing (that I know) about any change from Lourenço Marques to Can Phumo (or KaMpfumo, currently the central district of the city of Maputo). Teixant (talk) 13:20, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Does the law changing the name to Maputo specify that it was until that time named Lourenco Marques?12.144.5.2 (talk) 19:02, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I do not have the text of the law to correctly answer your question, I might be able to get it later in January. It seems that the name Can Phumo (or similar) was used by many people informally, until Samora Machel chose Maputo for purely political reasons (please see https://delagoabayword.wordpress.com/2009/11/01/as-alteracoes-toponimicas-de-maputo/ in Portuguese). I will come back when I get the text of the law. Teixant (talk) 16:18, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Articles on urban districts
Hi, Shevonsilva, nobody is saying that is not important to have articles on the seven urban districts in which the province/municipality of Maputo is divided...my question is where are they? Do you see any other red links (links to articles that do not exist) in the article? Cheers, Teixant (talk) 18:57, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

The demographic history of the population of Maputo is missing
Is there a way to add the history of the population of the city? It's quite rare for an article on a capital city of a sovereign state to omit it. Have they not kept the archives?--Adûnâi (talk) 10:05, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Ickey Woods

Elbert L. "Ickey" Woods (born February 28, 1966) is an American former football player who was a running back for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League (NFL) from 1988 through 1991. He played college football for the UNLV Rebels. He is best remembered for his "Ickey Shuffle" end zone dance, performed each time he scored a touchdown. After a rookie season in which he set numerous rookie franchise records, a series of injuries shortened his NFL career and he retired after four years.

Early life
Elbert Woods was given the nickname "Ickey" based on his little brother's pronunciation of his given first name, which sounded like "E-E." He attended Edison High School in Fresno, California, where he played sports. He received one college football scholarship, from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), where he was a four-year letterwinner for the UNLV Rebels. As a freshman in 1984, the Rebels, led by future NFL star quarterback Randall Cunningham, went 11-2 and won the California Bowl 30-13 against the Toledo Rockets, a game in which Woods rushed nine times for 53 yards and one touchdown.

In his senior year of 1987, he broke out and led the nation in rushing with 1,658 yards, with 6.4 yards per attempt. That total remains the second-most in UNLV history, and he still holds the school record in single-game rushing attempts with 37 in two different games. In one of those games, he ran for a personal-best 265 yards against the University of the Pacific. He rushed for more than 100 yards in nine games, and more than 200 yards three times, in 1987, and was named first-team All Big West. He was inducted into the UNLV Athletic Hall of Fame in 1998.

Professional career
The Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League (NFL) in the second round, drafted Woods with the 31st overall selection, of the 1988 NFL Draft. He was a breakout star as a rookie, setting franchise rookie records for rushing with 1,066 yards (since broken by Corey Dillon), 15 touchdowns, and an NFL-leading 5.3 yards per carry, along with 228 yards and three touchdowns in the playoffs as the Bengals advanced to Super Bowl XXIII. His team lost the game 20-16 to the San Francisco 49ers, but he finished as the game's leading rusher with 79 yards.

In 1989, Woods tore his left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the second game of the season, a 41-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He missed 13 months. By the time he returned, his starting role was filled by Harold Green.

In 1991, Woods injured his right knee in the preseason. He returned at midseason but he ran for just 97 yards on 36 carries. He was out of football by age 26. His career statistics include 332 carries for 1,525 yards and 27 touchdowns, along with 47 receptions for 397 yards. Woods was later named #7 on NFL Top 10's Top Ten One-Shot Wonders.

's NFL off-season, Ickey Woods held at least 30 Bengals franchise records, including:
 * Rush Attempts: playoffs (89), playoff season (72 in 1988), playoff game (29 on 1989-01-08 BUF)
 * Rush Yards: playoffs (391), playoff season (307 in 1988)
 * Rush Yds/Att: playoffs (4.39), rookie season (5.25 in 1988)
 * Rushing TDs: season/rookie season (15 in 1988), playoffs (4), playoff season (3 in 1988), playoff game (2 on 1989-01-08 BUF)
 * Rush Yds/Game: playoffs (78.2)
 * Total TDs: playoffs (4), playoff season (3 in 1988), playoff game (2 on 1989-01-08 BUF), rookie season (15 in 1988)
 * Yds from Scrimmage: playoffs (409), playoff season (307 in 1988)
 * All Purpose Yds: playoffs (409), playoff season (307 in 1988)
 * 100+ yard rushing games: season (7 in 1988, with Cedric Benson), playoffs (2), rookie season (7)
 * Games with 1+ TD scored: playoffs (3), rookie season (11)
 * Games with 2+ TD scored: season/rookie season (6 in 1988), playoff game (1; with Charles Alexander, Dan Ross, Stanley Wilson)
 * Games with 3+ TD scored: rookie season (1; with three others)

Personal life
Woods is the longtime owner/coach of the Cincinnati Sizzle of the full-contact Women's Football Alliance; one of the players was his ex-wife, Chandra Baldwin-Woods. He runs the Ickey Woods Youth Foundation as well as the Jovante Woods Foundation, named for their son who died at age 16. Jovante was an honor student and a member of the Princeton High School football team who suffered a fatal asthma attack at home. The foundation provides funding and education for asthma research and organ donor education.

Woods has six children. Since retiring from the NFL, he has been a sales representative for a meat company, sold security systems, and has owned a flooring store in Cincinnati. In 2006, he was an assistant coach for the Cincinnati Marshals of the National Indoor Football League.

Ickey Woods appeared in Bootsy Collins' video "Who-Dey Invasion." He appeared in a Cincinnati Bell commercial, doing the "Ickey Shuffle" with the company's president and was in a national Oldsmobile commercial doing the "Ickey Shuffle" with his mother. In 2014, he was featured in a national GEICO Insurance commercial in which he reprised his "Ickey Shuffle" while gleefully buying cold cuts at a deli counter. On May 1, 2015, Woods announced at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, Illinois that the Cincinnati Bengals had selected offensive tackle Jake Fisher of the University of Oregon as the 21st pick in the second round (53rd overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft. After replicating his signature move, the "Ickey Shuffle" and making the pick announcement, Woods said, "gonna get me some cold cuts," a line from the aforementioned GEICO television commercial. He also appeared in a couple of commercials before Super Bowl XLIX. The dance move is occasionally duplicated by other NFL players.

Welrod

The Welrod is a British bolt action, magazine-fed, suppressed pistol devised during the Second World War by Major Hugh Reeves at the Inter-Services Research Bureau (later Station IX). Station IX, being based near Welwyn Garden City, gave the Welrod its unusual name, being derived from "Wel" from "Welwyn Garden City" (a prefix used by covert equipment designed by Station IX) and "rod", gangland slang for gun, as a way to obscure its purpose.

Designed for use by irregular forces and resistance groups, the Welrod is an extremely quiet gun thanks to its integrated suppressor. Approximately 2,800 were made in wartime and perhaps 14,000 in total when post-war examples are included.

Development
The name Welrod comes from the custom of naming all clandestine equipment devised at Station IX in Welwyn Garden City starting with Wel, e.g., Welbike, Welman. A document produced towards the end of the war ensured that the right people were properly credited for their inventions at Station IX. This document identifies Major Hugh Reeves as the inventor of the Welrod. He was also responsible for other important designs, including the sleeve gun, which was similar to the Welrod, though single shot and made to conceal up a sleeve.

The Welrod was used primarily by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) but was also used by the American Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and Resistance forces.

The Welrod was a "sanitised" weapon, meaning that it had no markings indicating its manufacturer or country of origin; it was marked only with a serial number and some inscrutable symbols and letters. The Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited (BSA) confirmed that they manufactured some Welrod pistols but that they put no markings at all on them, so it is likely that any markings were added by the British military after delivery.

The original Mk1 Welrod was a bolt action design. While 500 were ordered, its not clear if it ever got beyond the prototype stage. The Welrod Mk II, chambered for .32 ACP was the primary model. Due to poor field results, the Welrod 9mm Mk I was subsequently developed using 9×19mm Parabellum rounds.

Design

The Welrod takes the form of a 1.25 in cylinder, about 12 in long. The rear section of the cylinder contains the bolt, the middle section, the vented (16–20 ports) barrel and expansion chamber for the barrel and the front section, the baffles and (rubber) wipes of the suppressor. There is a knurled knob at the rear that serves as the bolt handle, which unlocks when rotated 90 degrees. The magazine doubles as the grip and can be removed for ease of hiding. The exclusion of a pistol grip was apparently done to help conceal the weapon's purpose and in some groups it was called a "bicycle pump" due to its innocuous look with the magazine/grip removed.

The Welrod is provided with sights marked with luminescent paint for use in low-light conditions. The Mk I manual states: "It is accurate up to 30 yd in daylight or 20 yd on a fairly light night but is most effective when fired in contact with the target". The muzzle end of the gun is ground slightly concave to minimise noise during a contact shot; this may have also improved grip against the target, decreasing the chance of missing.

The ported barrel of the Welrod serves two purposes, it releases the powder gases gradually into the rear of the suppressor, reducing the sound of firing and it reduces the velocity of the bullet to subsonic speeds (especially important in the 9 mm version since the standard 9 mm loading is supersonic). The metal baffles and rubber wipes that follow the barrel serve to further slow the gases of firing, releasing them over a longer period of time and avoiding the sharp explosion that occurs when high pressure powder gases are suddenly released to the atmosphere.

The Welrod uses a bolt-action design because it is simple, reliable and quiet. The bolt-action has only the noise of the firing pin hitting the primer, and the bolt can be cycled quietly. Magazines of six and eight rounds were produced.

Operation
The pistol is manually operated using a rotary bolt, locking with two lugs. Loading is performed with a pull/push action using the round knurled knob to the rear of the weapon. The trigger is single stage with a simple safety at the back of the magazine housing. The detachable single stack magazine contains six or eight rounds (depending on calibre) and serves as a pistol grip with the bottom part enclosed by the plastic cover.

In 2002, Small Arms Review tested the Welrod (in .32 ACP) and found a 34-decibel noise reduction compared to a control pistol with a same length (3.25 inch) barrel for a final 122.8 decibel value. Earlier sound measurements did not meet the standards in place in 2002. According to Small Arms Review, the lower earlier measurements were ‘Undoubtedly […] a function of the available measuring equipment (including excessive meter rise time)’. A fully refurbished Welrod sounds quieter than a CO2 pellet pistol, with Philip H. Dater calling it ‘Hollywood quiet’. The Welrod's sound is almost imperceptible at 15 feet in a quiet environment and it would be inaudible to the operator in a noisy environment where the muzzle is in contact with the target.

Use
There was a plan in 1943 to drop Welrods into German-occupied territories for the mass assassination of Schutzstaffel (SS) and Gestapo officers and soldiers within a one-month period by resistance units. This plan was possibly delayed or called off in the aftermath of Operation Anthropoid, the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich by Czech resistance forces. In the wake of his assassination, an estimated 13,000 civilians were arrested and interrogated, 5,000 civilians murdered in German reprisal killings and the villages of Lidice and Ležáky destroyed.

The Welrod was used in Denmark during the war as well as being dropped in several other countries and is reported to have been used during the 1982 Falklands War, throughout The Troubles in Northern Ireland and during operation Desert Storm by British Special Forces. Welrod guns were also found in weapons caches from Operation Gladio. The Welrod was also used by US Army Special Forces soldiers assigned to Detachment 'A' Berlin during the Cold War and by MACVSOG.

River Waring

The River Waring is a small river in Lincolnshire, England, and a tributary of the River Bain. The Waring rises in the parish of Belchford and runs through Belchford village, passing between the villages of Fulletby, West Ashby and Low Toynton before arriving at Horncastle, where it divides Horncastle market place from the part of the town known as Cagthorpe. After the Horncastle floods of the 1960s, the river channel was straightened and its banks built up through the town. It joins the River Bain along with the Thunker Drain or Scrafield Beck at the confluence by the town's swimming pool, which was built on the site of the old dry dock of the Horncastle Canal.

Preventorium

A preventorium was an institution or building for patients infected with tuberculosis who did not yet have an active form of the disease. Popular in the early 20th century, preventoria were designed to isolate these patients from uninfected individuals as well as patients who showed outward symptoms. Philanthropist Nathan Straus opened the first preventorium (Tuberculosis Preventorium for Children) on Preventorium Road in Lakewood, New Jersey in 1909.

(William M. Connolley 16:18, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)) Hello Josh. Is that you? (apologies if it isn't!). In fact, whether it is or not, welcome to wikipedia!

the previous language was "skeptics arbitrarily assume"
Can you defend the previous language? yes, my point is a bit repetitive to the lines above, but apparently the author of that language missed the fact that skeptics "reason". Perhaps some skeptics "arbitrarily assume", so I changed the previous language to that. The cosmic ray theory hits the climate models right where they are acknowledged to be the weakest, cloud and aerosol physics. The stronger solar correlation than can be explained by direct insolation is established. I think you language about the "among ..." is an acceptable proposal. What is not acceptable is the ad hominem dismissal of skeptics as "arbitrarily assuming". I don't know how current you are on the literature, but there have been some advances on the physics linking cosmic rays to aerosols in the parts of the atmosphere where clouds would contribute more to cooling than to warming. I don't quite know how it would be incorporated into models yet, so that the statistics of cloud distributions is properly modeled and correlated (inversely) with solar activity, but it is certainly premature to be placing much emphasis on these models that predict large temperature increases from CO2 doubling. The referenced article is discussed on the [Attribution of recent climate change] page. I accept the "among ..." language, even though I think this is currently the leading theory to explain what is missing from the climate models that accounts for the discrepency between their predictions for the impact of CO2 versus what is seen in the paleo data, which suggests that doubling of CO2 will only result in 0.6 degrees C temperature increase (or was it 0.5?). Of course, there is the possibility that the paleo equilibriums are not reached on a century scale. This has the elegance of reconciling the data so that both are correct, however, there is not enough agreement in detail among the models to place much confidence in their predictions.--Silverback 04:04, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Lang factor

The Lang Factor is an estimated ratio of the total cost of creating a process within a plant, to the cost of all major technical components. It is widely used in industrial engineering to calculate the capital and operating costs of a plant.

The factors were introduced by H. J. Lang and Dr Micheal Bird in Chemical Engineering magazine in 1947 as a method for estimating the total installation cost for plants and equipment.

Industries
These factors are widely used in the refining and petrochemical industries to help estimate the cost of new facilities. A typical multiplier for a new unit within a refinery would be in the range of 5.0. When the purchase price of all the pumps, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and other process equipment are multiplied by 5.0, a rough estimate of the total installed cost of the plant, including equipment, materials, construction, and engineering will be achieved. The accuracy of this estimate method usually is +/- 35%.

Guthrie factors
The factors change over time because construction labor, bulk materials (concrete, pipe, etc.), engineering design, indirect costs, and major process equipment prices often do not change at the same rate.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s Kenneth Guthrie further expanded on this concept, generating different factors for different types of process equipment (pumps, exchangers, vessels, etc.). These are sometimes referred to as "Guthrie factors".
