Cockcroft (crater)

Cockcroft is a lunar impact crater that is situated on the far side of the Moon from the Earth, so that it has only been observed and photographed from orbit. It lies to the northeast of the larger crater Fitzgerald, and southeast of Evershed.

The rim of this crater is worn and eroded from subsequent impacts. The satellite crater Cockcroft N is intruding into the south-southwestern rim. There are small craters along the rim to the southeast, east, and north-northwest, and a small crater lies along the eastern inner wall. The interior floor is uneven in places, particularly in the southern half, and contains multiple small and tiny craterlets.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Cockcroft.

Garage Rock
This really isn't a music genre. The Hives are more of a punk band.Jacknife737 01:13, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

garage rock is widely regarded as on of the frist branchs of rock and roll it even though it not in the main stream today doesnt mean it not a genre your only making your self look like a moron by saying it isntthe hives as well as the von bondies white strips and the strokes are only some of the bands today who are call gerage rock and are in the main stream, so yes it is a genre

Watch the personal attacks, and you didn't adress my point, the Hives are clearly influenced by punk rock. Jacknife737 15:59, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

As well I did a google search, Hives Punk Rock found 906,000 hits, while Hives Garage Rock found 323,000 hits. Jacknife737 16:08, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

yo, the hives are known as a garage rock band. most people who are fans of the hives would tell you that.

The Hives are a garage rock band that plays with a punk influence. currently the article is accurate. they definitley do have a huge punk influence as evidenced on "barely legal" but they generally have more in common with garage rock bands then punk bands. Glassbreaker5791 20:26, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Are you actually citing Google search as a factual reference? I just googled "chocolate vanilla" and "chocolate strawberry". "Chocolate vanilla" yielded more, so, that means chococolate is really vanilla and not strawberry? They are a garage rock band, and that doesn't rule out they have punk influences. Also, garage rock IS a genre, which was originated time ago and is experiencing a revival, with bands such as The Hives as their flags. Caoslinger (talk) 18:29, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

3rd album, last album?
I never heard this anywhere so I placed a citation needed. After about a year after the third album was released I already began hearing that they were back in the studio. If someone could please provide a citation we could keep that bit in there. PrettyMuchBryce 12:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmmm considering that their fourth album has been released the "fact" that album 3 was their last is incorrect. Doc Strange (talk) 01:07, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Not the best picture of the Hives. Pelle looks like that guy from My Chemical Romance, kind of emo/goth. The picture should reflect his and the rest of the Hives' real personality.

Why are they named "The Hives"? What's the history behind the naming of the band?

They were going through Dr. Matts library, and found it there. I suppose it was in some medical book.

I always thought it was after the STD Titan50 (talk)

Hives is a rash, usually an allergic reaction. Not an STD. 75.190.228.187 (talk) 07:09, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

NHL 13 Mix of "I Want More"
This is a personal thing more than anything, but I have loved the soundtrack from NHL 13, and very recently I went to make a playlist of the songs, but I couldn't find the mix of "I Want More" on Spotify, and I, being the petty person I am, was wondering where I could find it other than in the game. 24.154.234.232 (talk) 02:13, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Hm, if the soundtrack version is different from the track on the album, I suggest you download the song off Youtube and import it to your Spotify library. ValhaIl (talk) 20:41, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Soundtrack appearances and usage in media
Suggest that mentions of the band's songs usage in movies, video games, commercials, etc. are moved to the pages for the specific single or the song's related album. Commercial performances by the band might be an exception that should be mentioned on the band's main page. ValhaIl (talk) 20:38, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Stephen Mix Mitchell

Stephen Mix Mitchell (December 9, 1743 – died September 30, 1835) was an American lawyer, jurist, and statesman from Wethersfield, Connecticut. He represented Connecticut in the Continental Congress and the U.S. Senate and was chief justice of the state's Supreme Court.

Biography
Mitchell was born in Wethersfield, Hartford County, Connecticut on December 9, 1743 and was the son of James and Rebecca Mitchell. He pursued academic studies; graduated from Yale College in 1763, and served as tutor at Yale from 1766 to 1769 while he studied law at New Haven and with Jared Ingersoll. He was admitted to the bar in 1770 and commenced practice in Newton, Connecticut. He married Hannah Grant and they had eleven children, Donald Grant Mitchell, Stephen Mix Mitchell, Lewis Mitchell, Charles Mitchell, Rebecca Mitchell, Alfred Mitchell (father of Donald Grant Mitchell), Walter Mitchell, Hannah Grant Mitchell, Harriet Mitchell, Elizabeth Mitchell Chester, and Julia Mitchell.

Career
Mitchell returned to Wethersfield in 1772 and continued the practice of law. He was a member of Connecticut state house of representatives from 1778 to 1784. He was a delegate to the Continental Congress from Connecticut from 1783 to 1788, and a member of Connecticut council of assistants from 1784 to 1792 (with the exception of 1786). He was also associate justice of the county court of Hartford County from 1779 to 1790, and presiding judge from 1790 to 1793. He was a member of the State convention which ratified the Constitution of the United States in 1788.

When Roger Sherman died in 1793, Governor Huntington appointed Mitchell to the United States Senate, where he served from December 2, 1793, to March 3, 1795. He did not seek re-election in 1794, but returned home to accept a seat on the Connecticut Supreme Court beginning in 1795 until he was elevated to Chief Justice in 1807 and served there until his retirement to Wethersfield in 1814 when he became legally disqualified by age. In September 1807, he received the honorary degree of LL. D. from Yale College.

Mitchell was a presidential elector on the Federalist ticket in 1800 and a delegate to Connecticut state constitutional convention, 1818.

Death
Mitchell died in Wethersfield on September 30, 1835 (age 91 years, 295 days). He is interred at Wethersfield Cemetery, Wethersfield, Connecticut. He was the grandfather of author Donald Grant Mitchell.

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. Like other candidates I aim to help with the general problems of reverting vandalism, providing protection and dealing with difficult IP addresses. I'd also aim to specifically help in the area of naming conventions in helping ensure articles conform to them and, where necessary, perform the admins required to ensure compliance.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I guess that Neville Chamberlain is probably the long article I'm pleased with the most - there's a lot more information about Chamberlain's entire career rather than the usual overheavy focus on his European policy. Of the shorter articles George Canning is one I feel works better now than before. I've also been happy to get stub pages up for a lot of inter-war British politicians, making a better flow for the navi boxes.
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and will deal with it in the future?
 * A. The main editing conflicts I've had was a while ago and revolved around the list of leaders of the Conservative Party (UK) and exactly who if anyone was "Leader of the [overall] party" - we resolved that harmoniusly by switching the format and copying the one for the Liberal Party (UK). Otherwise my main irritation is when people start changing the placement of peers in categories on the spurious argument "we list people by names not positions" when most are known by their title which is part of the name. I've reverted a few here (and others have done the same) and will do so again when it leads to a strange category placing.

Fantasy of manners

The fantasy of manners is a subgenre of fantasy literature that also partakes of the nature of a comedy of manners (though it is not necessarily humorous). Such works generally take place in an urban setting and within the confines of a fairly elaborate, and almost always hierarchical, social structure. The term was first used in print by science fiction critic Donald G. Keller in an article, The Manner of Fantasy, in the April 1991 issue of The New York Review of Science Fiction.

Original definition
Keller used the term to describe a group of American fantasy writers who emerged in the 1980s, including Steven Brust, Emma Bull, Ellen Kushner, Delia Sherman, Caroline Stevermer, and Terri Windling; Kushner suggested the name. These writers were influenced by television, children's literature, and the works of Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer, and Dorothy Dunnett; in fantasy fiction, Fritz Leiber was important, as were Michael Moorcock and M. John Harrison. Their works included themes of negotiating social structures, disguise, the importance of childhood, the necessity of self-discovery, and the importance of manners and especially of language. This emphasis meant that their characters' speech tended to be more important than their actions, and they used a wide range of diction. After the article was released, fantasy of manners was nicknamed "mannerpunk".

Modern definition
In the words of author Teresa Edgerton, the term has since taken on a life of its own. It began to mean fantasy literature that owes as much or more to the comedy of manners as it does to the work of J. R. R. Tolkien and other authors of high fantasy. The protagonists are not pitted against fierce monsters or marauding armies, but against their neighbors and peers; the action takes place within a society, rather than being directed against an external foe; duels may be fought, but the chief weapons are wit and intrigue; romance and emotions are central, and the plot may revolve around courtship and marriage. The way the protagonist pushes against their social constraints drives the plot. The setting is a city in another world, usually post-medieval but pre-technological. Stylistically, fantasies of manners tend to be dry and witty.

While there is occasional overlap with steampunk or gaslamp fantasy, fantasy of manners is more grounded in reality; magic, fantastic races, and legendary creatures are downplayed or dismissed entirely, and the technology is typically no more advanced than is expected of the period. Indeed, but for the fact that the settings are usually entirely fictional, some of the books considered "fantasy of manners" could be also considered historical fiction, and some do cross over with historical fantasy. The social system, with its conventions and restraints that can be mastered, replaces magic.

Influences
Like the authors Keller originally described, contemporary fantasy of manners is influenced by the social novels of Jane Austen, the historical romances of Georgette Heyer, and Dorothy Dunnett's historical novels. Other major influences on the subgenre include the drawing room comedies of Oscar Wilde and P. G. Wodehouse. Many authors also draw from nineteenth century popular novelists such as Anthony Trollope, the Brontë sisters, and Charles Dickens. Traditional romances of swashbuckling adventure such as The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy, or the works of Rafael Sabatini may also be influences. The Ruritanian romances typified by The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope, or George Barr McCutcheon's Graustark itself, are also of some consequence as literary precedents.

Examples

 * Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater
 * Of Dragons, Feasts, and Murders by Aliette de Bodard
 * Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho
 * Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
 * The Labyrinth Gate by Kate Elliott
 * The Glamourist Histories series by Mary Robinette Kowal
 * The Riverside series, beginning with Swordspoint, by Ellen Kushner
 * The Beautiful Ones by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
 * Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake
 * Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton
 * Sorcery and Cecelia, The Grand Tour, and The Mislaid Magician by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer

Relationship with other genres
A class of fantasies set in contemporary times and blending some characteristics of fantasies of manners with the subgenre urban fantasy has been dubbed, tongue-even-further-in-cheek, elfpunk.

A Civil Campaign by Lois McMaster Bujold has been described as "science fiction of manners".

K.S.V. Roeselare

Koninklijke Sport Vereniging Roeselare, abbreviated to KSV Roeselare, also known in French as KSV Roulers, was a Belgian football club from the city of Roeselare in West Flanders. Its matricule was 134. It last played at the highest level of Belgian football from 2005–06 until 2009–10, but finally folded in 2020 after having relegated to the third level and going bankrupt.

History
The first club of the city was founded in 1900 by some students and named De Verenigde Vrienden (Dutch for The United Friends) but that name changed early to Red Star Roeselare. In 1902, the club is known as Union Sportive Roulers (in French) but it will retire from the football association for financial problems in 1909. The next year, two new clubs are founded – Sportvereniging Roeselare (the Catholics) and F.C. Roeselare (the non-Catholics) – but not for long as the former club activity stopped in 1914 due to World War I. The birth of S.K. Roeselare arose seven years later. it received the matricule n° 134. F.C. Roeselare with the matricule n° 286. However, this matricule does not exist anymore as K.S.K. Roeselare and K.F.C. Roeselare merged in 1999 to form K.S.V. and kept the n° 134. The first time a team from Roeselare achieved promotion to the first division was in 2005 when K.S.V. won the second division playoff.

Ontario Medical Association

The Ontario Medical Association (OMA) is a membership organization that represents the political, clinical and economic interests of Ontario physicians. Practising physicians, residents, and medical students enrolled in any of the six Ontario faculties of medicine are eligible for OMA membership. The OMA runs programs to encourage healthy living practices and illness prevention.

History
The OMA was founded in 1880 by physicians across the province of Ontario who encouraged the profession to unite and form a provincial medical association.

The OMA is governed by a board of directors. The board is made up of 11 directors: eight physician directors and three non-physician directors. The officers of the board are the chair, president, president-elect and the immediate past president. The president-elect and immediate past president are non-voting observers on the board.

The General Assembly is another large member body that collects member input to help identify and recommend organizational priorities to the board, including opportunities and challenges facing the profession. The General Assembly is composed of the General Assembly steering committee, the Priority and Leadership Group, the three panels and working groups.

Membership and structure
The Ontario Medical Association (OMA) represents more than 43,000 physicians and medical students across the province. While membership is voluntary, as of 1991, all practicing physicians in Ontario are mandated by law to pay dues to the organization, regardless of whether or not they choose to be members. The Ministry of Health recognizes the organization as the sole negotiator on behalf of physicians in Ontario and has been called a union by Bob Rae, a claim rejected by the OMA.

Ontario Medical Review
The Ontario Medical Review has played a pivotal role in documenting the achievements of Ontario's physicians and providing thoughtful, in-depth stories about the challenges facing the province's health-care system for more than 100 years.

Published quarterly and delivered to 39,000 physicians, the magazine reaches family doctors, specialists and residents, as well as medical students, in every corner of the province. It is a vital source of information about how the Ontario Medical Association is advocating for health-system modernization and improved care for Ontario patients.

Phil Manzanera

Phillip Geoffrey Targett-Adams (born 31 January 1951), known professionally as Phil Manzanera, is an English musician, songwriter and record producer. He is the lead guitarist with Roxy Music, and was the lead guitarist with 801 and Quiet Sun. In 2006, Manzanera co-produced David Gilmour's album On an Island, and played in Gilmour's band for tours in Europe and North America. He wrote and presented a series of 14 one-hour radio programmes for station Planet Rock entitled The A-Z of Great Guitarists.

Early life
Manzanera was born on 31 January 1951 in London, England, to a Colombian mother (nee Manzanera) and an English father, who worked for British Overseas Airways Corporation, and spent most of his childhood in different parts of the Americas, including Hawaii, Venezuela, Colombia, and Cuba. It was in Havana, Cuba, living under Batista, that the young Manzanera, aged six, encountered his first guitar, a Spanish guitar owned by his mother. His earliest musical accomplishments were Cuban folk songs inspired by the Cuban Revolution.

In Venezuela, the eight-year-old Manzanera started experimenting with the sounds of the electric guitar. During his teenage years he was absorbing the twin influences of 1960s rock and roll and Latin American rhythms of merengue, cumbia, and particularly the boleros of the Mexican Armando Manzanero.

In his late teens Manzanera – then a boarder at Dulwich College in south east London, England, where his brother was also a student – formed a series of school bands with his friends Bill MacCormick, later a member of Matching Mole and Random Hold, MacCormick's brother Ian (better known as music writer Ian MacDonald) and drummer Charles Hayward, later of This Heat and Camberwell Now. Among the younger students at the school who saw the older boys performing in these various bands were Simon Ainley (later in 801), David Ferguson and David Rhodes; Ainley was briefly the lead vocalist for 801 in 1977, and all three were members of the late-1970s progressive group Random Hold; Rhodes subsequently became a long-serving member of Peter Gabriel's backing band.

The final incarnation of Manzanera's Dulwich College bands – a psychedelic outfit dubbed Pooh & the Ostrich Feathers – evolved into the progressive rock quartet Quiet Sun with the addition of keyboard player Dave Jarrett. They wrote a number of original songs and instrumental pieces, none of which were recorded until years later, and the band broke up when McCormick joined Matching Mole, but Manzanera briefly revived the group in 1975 to record a full LP of their original music during the making of his first solo album Diamond Head; later he included two other previously unrecorded Quiet Sun tracks on his 2008 album Firebird V11, which also featured Charles Hayward.

Roxy Music (1971–1983)
Manzanera was determined to join a professional band, and in October 1971 he was one of about twenty players who auditioned as lead guitarist for the recently formed art rock band Roxy Music. Manzanera displayed a wide-ranging interest in music. Influenced by his childhood sojourns in Latin America, and his stints at boarding school, he came to know several prominent musicians including Soft Machine's Robert Wyatt and Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, who was a friend of his older brother, Eugene.

Manzanera was not initially hired as a guitarist for Roxy Music, but instead was hired as a roadie/guitar tech. After David O'List left the group in early 1972 (before the group had made any commercially issued recordings), Manzanera was invited to replace O'List as Roxy Music's guitarist. His bandmates at this time were Bryan Ferry, Brian Eno, Paul Thompson, Andy Mackay, and Graham Simpson. Roxy Music's rise was meteoric, with the band being hailed as a major stylistic influence of the early 1970s. During the next 12 years, until 1983 when the band members went on a "long break", Roxy Music released a series of internationally best-selling albums, achieving ten UK Top Ten albums and touring extensively throughout the world. Although Ferry had sole writing credit on the first two LPs, and his work dominated the group's output, Manzanera was credited as co-writer with Ferry on the following Roxy Music songs:

 * "Amazona" (Stranded, 1973)
 * "Out of the Blue" and "Prairie Rose" (Country Life, 1974)
 * "Whirlwind" and "Nightingale" (Siren, 1975),
 * "Manifesto", "Still Falls The Rain", "Trash" and "My Little Girl" (Manifesto, 1979)
 * "Trash 2" ("Trash" single B-side, 1979)
 * "Over You", "No Strange Delight" and "Running Wild" (Flesh & Blood, 1980)
 * "Lover" ("Same Old Scene" single B-side, 1980)
 * "Take a Chance with Me" (Avalon, 1982)

Manzanera also received sole composer credit on the following Roxy Music song:
 * "Hula Kula" ("Street Life" single B-side, 1973)

In parallel with Roxy Music, Manzanera has always pursued solo projects, both recording his own albums and producing for others. His first major credit as producer was in 1975; after spotting the New Zealand group Split Enz, who had supported Roxy Music on their 1974 Australian tour, Manzanera produced the group's second LP, Second Thoughts, which was recorded in London.

Manzanera played guitar on three tracks of the first Brian Eno album Here Come the Warm Jets, as well as guitar and production assistance on Eno's second solo album Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy).

All his previous solo albums have been digitally remastered and re-released with new artwork on his own label, Expression Records.

Solo work and collaborations (1975–2001)
As a writer, producer and solo artist, Phil Manzanera has worked with many of the luminaries of modern music, such as Steve Winwood, David Gilmour, John Cale, Godley & Creme, Nico and John Wetton. He has co-written material with many artists, including Brian Eno, Tim Finn, Robert Wyatt and Gilmour. Manzanera co-wrote Pink Floyd's single "One Slip" from their 1987 A Momentary Lapse of Reason album.

Manzanera's first solo album Diamond Head (1975) featured an all-star line-up of session contributors, including most of the former and current members of Roxy Music, except Bryan Ferry. Brian Eno co-wrote and sang on two tracks ("Big Day" and "Miss Shapiro"), Paul Thompson, Eddie Jobson and Andy Mackay all contributed, and Roxy Music's occasional tour bassist John Wetton (ex Family, and then a member of King Crimson) played bass and duetted on vocals (with Doreen Chanter on "Same Time Next Week"). Robert Wyatt co-wrote and sang (in Spanish) on "Frontera", and the members of Manzanera's pre-Roxy Music group Quiet Sun featured on the instrumental tracks. Concurrent with the recording of Diamond Head, Manzanera reunited Quiet Sun (who had not been able to make any professional recordings) and used the studio time to quickly record a full LP of Quiet Sun material, released by EG Records under the title Mainstream.

Reworked versions of two tracks from Mainstream featured on Manzanera's next major collaboration, the critically acclaimed concert recording 801 Live, which was recorded at a 1976 London show performed by the "special occasion" band 801. The group comprised Manzanera, with Eno on vocals, synth and treatments, Quiet Sun bassist Bill MacCormick, Curved Air keyboardist Francis Monkman, 19-year-old drumming prodigy Simon Phillips, and slide guitarist Lloyd Watson, who had previously performed as a solo support act for Roxy Music. The LP featured an eclectic mix of Manzanera, Quiet Sun and Eno originals, alongside distinctive cover versions of two well-known tracks, The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" and The Kinks' "You Really Got Me". The album also broke new ground in live concert recording, being one of the first live LPs to use the "direct injection" (DI) method of recording, in which the signals from the various electric instruments were fed directly into the recording console, enabling a dramatic improvement in fidelity over the earlier method of placing microphones near the various instrument amplifiers.

The success of the live album led to the creation of a more permanent incarnation of 801, without Lloyd Watson. Manzanera's old schoolmate Simon Ainley (who was later a member of Random Hold with Bill McCormick) took over from Eno as lead vocalist, who only provided treatments and textures. Francis Monkman, Bill and Ian McCormick and Simon Phillips became part of an all-star session group that also included Tim Finn and Eddie Rayner of Split Enz (who had by then relocated to the UK), former 10cc members Kevin Godley and Lol Creme, saxophonist Mel Collins, Roxy Music's Eddie Jobson and drummer Dave Mattacks. The 'new' 801 recorded the studio album Listen Now, was released in November 1976, although according to Ainley the initial recordings had begun in December 1975, well before the original concert line-up of 801 was put together. The studio LP was not a commercial success and the group disbanded after a short UK tour. A live performance at Manchester University in Nov. 1977, with Ainley on vocals and guitar, and appearances by special guests Andy Mackay, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme, was recorded on 24-track tape, but the recording remained unreleased until 1997.

Manzanera's second solo album K-Scope (1978) was originally intended to be the second 801 studio album, and indeed it featured many of the same personnel from Listen Now, including Ainley, Bill and Ian McCormick, John Wetton, Simon Phillips, Mel Collins, Tim and Neil Finn, Eddie Rayner, Godley and Creme, and keyboard player Dave Skinner. According to Ainley, he was slated to perform the lead vocal tracks, and he contributed to the composition of the track "Slow Motion TV", but by his own account he had a severe cold the day he began recording his vocals and could not hit the notes; as a result Manzanera replaced him with Tim Finn, and Ainley contributed only rhythm guitar to a couple of tracks. The LP was eventually released under Manzanera's name, but shortly after it was released Roxy Music reformed, and Manzanera's solo projects were put on hold until the group disbanded again in 1982.

His third solo album Primitive Guitars (1982) marked his tenth anniversary as a professional musician. It was intended as a retrospective of his musical influences and stylistic growth, interpreted through a series of solo pieces that represent various stages in his life – childhood in South America, adolescence in London, his work in Roxy Music and 801, and other projects. Manzanera plays all the instruments, backed only by a drum machine, except for one track that features John Wetton on bass. In between tracks, Manzanera inserted snatches of dialogue recorded at various rehearsals.

In the 1990s, Manzanera performed in concerts all over the world, including at Guitar Legends, the five-day guitar festival in Seville, where he was musical director for the event as well as playing with Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Jack Bruce, Vicente Amigo, Dave Edmunds, Joe Satriani, Steve Cropper, Aterciopelados, Robert Cray and Richard Thompson. He has also played in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Cuba, Spain, France, Italy and the UK, including a ten-date European tour with the Cuban band Grupo Moncada. He played at WOMAD festivals in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Manzanera ended the 20th Century by appearing with Bryan Ferry at the British Gas Millennium Concert at Greenwich, the first time they had performed together in 18 years. Manzanera produced in 1993 the highly acclaimed album Severino from the Brazilian rock band Os Paralamas do Sucesso, which included a participation by Brian May.

Roxy Music reunion and later work (2001–present)
The Roxy Music "long break" came to an end in 2001 with a critically and commercially successful 52-date world tour. In the summer of 2003 Roxy Music played 10 dates in the US, followed by 13 European gigs in 2004, including performing at Live 8 in Berlin. The ongoing reunion went on hiatus after their last performance of 2011, and they would not give another commercial performance for over a decade.

Manzanera had a state-of-the-art studio, Gallery Studios, in West London (now Songphonic Records). The first recording was Robert Wyatt's album Shleep (1996-1997) and the client list included Brian Eno, David Gilmour, Annie Lennox, Kevin Ayers, and Chrissie Hynde. Wyatt's critically acclaimed album Comicopera was recorded at Gallery in 2007.

Manzanera began singing on his own albums with Vozero in 2001, followed by 6pm in 2004 and 50 Minutes Later in 2005. He appeared at The Strat Pack celebration concert at Wembley Arena in 2005, alongside other musicians such as Hank Marvin, Ronnie Wood and David Gilmour. He also worked as session musician on Eno and David Byrne's 2008 album Everything That Happens Will Happen Today.

Between 2003 and 2008, he collaborated with Colombian artist/sculptor Lucho Brieva in the group Corroncho. The project sprang from a Spanish version of the track Complicada, written by Brieva's wife Chrissie Hynde. The resulting album comprises a set of songs about two corroncho characters ("corroncho" being the pejorative name given by people from Bogotá to fellow Colombians from the Caribbean Coast, particularly Barranquilla). The album includes the musical styles of salsa, cumbia, pop music, ballads, and chill-out and has guest appearances.

Firebird V11 (2008) was another all-instrumental album, recorded with a 3-piece backing group that included his old Quiet Sun bandmate Charles Hayward on drums, Polish jazz pianist Leszek Możdżer and bassist Yaron Stavi from the Gilad Atzmon band. It includes two original Quiet Sun tracks, written in 1970, which had never been previously recorded. As the title indicates, the album is a tribute to, and feature for, Manzanera's signature guitar, the red-and-black Gibson Firebird V11 guitar which he has played throughout his career – he can be seen holding the guitar in the "centrefold" photograph on Roxy Music's second album For Your Pleasure in 1972, and a photographically distorted image of it was used on the cover of Primitive Guitars.

In 2011, Jay-Z and Kanye West used a sample of a guitar riff from Manzanera's 1978 solo album K-Scope in a track on their Watch the Throne album. Manzanera was allocated one-third of resulting royalties and publishing revenue for the song. The album went Gold in the UK and Platinum in the US, and the song was used in the film The Great Gatsby and in tv commercials. Manzanera commented in 2024 that he had earned more from "a brief sequence of maybe twenty notes" than he had in his 50 years with Roxy Music.

In 2015, he directed the final concert of the Notte della Taranta Festival, in Salento (Italy.)

In March 2024, Manzanera published "Revolucion to Roxy", a memoir of his life and his time with Roxy Music.

Other efforts

 * Manzanera co-produced David Gilmour's album On an Island. Manzanera also played rhythm guitar on Gilmour's world tour to support the album in 2006 and appears in Gilmour's concert films Remember That Night and Live in Gdańsk.
 * Manzanera appears briefly playing a guitar solo in Red Dwarf series 6 episode "Psirens". Only his hands appeared playing the guitar, and his credit on the IMDb lists his role as "Hands of Psiren Lister". On screen he is credited as "the hands of Phil Manzanera".
 * He wrote and presented a series of 14 one-hour radio programmes for station Planet Rock entitled The A-Z of Great Guitarists.

Guitars and sound
Manzanera has played a variety of instruments throughout his career, but he is best known for his "signature" guitar, a 1964 'Cardinal Red' Gibson Firebird VII, with gold-plated pick-ups and tuners. This guitar became widely known to fans after Manzanera posed with it during the photo session that produced the inner gatefold photo for Roxy Music's second album For Your Pleasure in 1972, and he has used it regularly throughout his career. Manzanera also frequently uses two custom-made Gibson Les Paul guitars, one of which (picture above) features a mother of pearl inlay in the shape of an iguana. On tour and in the studio, Manzanera also regularly plays Fender Stratocasters, a Fender Telecaster, and Blade guitars. On the evidence of the cover photographs for the 801 Live album, he also played a Yamaha SG-2000 guitar (as used by Carlos Santana) during the 801 period.

Beginning in the early days of Roxy Music, Manzanera's guitar sound was often heavily treated using various electronic devices and techniques, including processing the output of his guitar through Eno's synthesizers, both in the studio and on stage. This allowed him to create a wide range of sounds and textures, many of which are not immediately identifiable as having been produced by an electric guitar. On his solo album Primitive Guitars, all the sounds on the album except the drum machine and the bass played by John Wetton (on one track) were produced by Manzanera's guitars.

Personal life
In 1977, Manzanera purchased St. Ann's Court, in Chertsey, consisting of a coach house, which Manzanera converted into a recording studio and a main house, designed in 1936 by the architect Sir Raymond McGrath. The gardens were created by Christopher Tunnard.

The recording studio was used to record Manzanera's solo albums and Roxy Music's Flesh & Blood and Avalon. The main house later featured in the television production Poirot.

Manzanera sold the property to 3Dlabs founder, Osman Kent, in 1997.

Awards and honours
Asteroid 72801 Manzanera, discovered by Marc Buie at Kitt Peak National Observatory in 2001, was named in his honour. The official was published by the Minor Planet Center on 18 May 2019 (M.P.C. 114955).

Omskavia

Omskavia (Russian:ОмскА́виа) was an airline based in Omsk, Russia. It operated domestic and international scheduled and charter, passenger, cargo and mail services, as well as aircraft maintenance. Its main bases were Tsentralny Airport, Omsk, and Domodedovo International Airport, Moscow.

The airline joined the AirBridge alliance in 2004, which was restructured as AiRUnion in the summer of 2005. As of 17 October 2008 the Russian Aviation Authority suspended its flights.

History
Omskavia was split off from Aeroflot in the early 1990s and was formed as a result of the separation of Omsk State Air Enterprise into airline and airport enterprises. It was established and started operations on 1 February 1994. The airline is owned by KrasAir (71%) and other shareholders (29%).

Destinations
Omskavia has regular scheduled flights to Moscow, Nizhnevartovsk, Sochi in Russia, and Frankfurt, Hanover, Cologne in Germany. It also charters flights to the Mediterranean, Middle Eastern resorts and Thailand.

Since 1996, Omskavia has been leasing airplanes to Iranian airline Mahan Air. In 2006, four of Omskavia's Tu-154M are scheduled to fly in Iran.

Fleet
The Omskavia fleet included the following aircraft (as of 3 June 2008):

Kon Tum province

Kon Tum is the northernmost mountainous province in the Central Highlands region, the Central of Vietnam. It borders Quảng Nam to the north, Gia Lai to the south, Quảng Ngãi to the east, Sekong, Attapeu of Laos and Ratanakiri of Cambodia in the west.

Kon Tum shares borders with Laos and Cambodia. It has an area of 9677.30 km2 and a population of approximately 530,000. The economy is primarily agricultural.

Name
The name Kon Tum comes from the name of a village of the Bahnar ethnic group. In the Bahnar language, kon means "village" and tum means "pool". Prior to the adoption of the Vietnamese alphabet in the 1920s, the name was rendered as.

Administrative divisions
Kon Tum is subdivided into ten district-level sub-divisions:

They are further subdivided into six commune-level towns (or townlets), 83 communes, and 10 wards.

Geography
The capital city is Kon Tum, located on the Đăk Bla River.

The southern border with Gia Lai follows the Sê San river up to Yali Falls Dam, as well as part of the Dak Bla, Dak Pokei and Dak Poe rivers. The Sa Thầy River, a tributary of the Sê San, also runs through the province.

The province is primarily located in the Sê San river basin, though parts are also in the headwaters of the Vu Gia, Trà Khúc and Sekong Rivers.

Demographics
Ethnic groups in Kon Tum province include the Viet, Bahnar, Brau, Giẻ Triêng, Jarai, Rơ Măm, and Xo Dang.

Notable residents

Raman laser

A Raman laser is a specific type of laser in which the fundamental light-amplification mechanism is stimulated Raman scattering. In contrast, most "conventional" lasers (such as the ruby laser) rely on stimulated electronic transitions to amplify light.

Spectral flexibility
Raman lasers are optically pumped. However, this pumping does not produce a population inversion as in conventional lasers. Rather, pump photons are absorbed and "immediately" re-emitted as lower-frequency laser-light photons ("Stokes" photons) by stimulated Raman scattering. The difference between the two photon energies is fixed and corresponds to a vibrational frequency of the gain medium. This makes it possible, in principle, to produce arbitrary laser-output wavelengths by choosing the pump-laser wavelength appropriately. This is in contrast to conventional lasers, in which the possible laser output wavelengths are determined by the emission lines of the gain material.

In optical fibers made of silica, for example, the frequency shift corresponding to the largest Raman gain is about 13.2 THz. In the near infrared, this corresponds to a wavelength separation between pump light and laser-output light of about 100 nm.

Types of Raman lasers
The first Raman laser, realized in 1962, by Gisela Eckhardt and E.J. Woodbury used nitrobenzene as the gain medium, which was intra-cavity-pumped inside a Q-switching ruby laser. Various other gain media can be used to construct Raman lasers:

Raman fiber lasers
The first continuous-wave Raman laser using an optical fiber as the gain medium was demonstrated in 1976. In fiber-based lasers, tight spatial confinement of the pump light is maintained over relatively large distances. This significantly lowers threshold pump powers down to practical levels and furthermore enables continuous-wave operation.

In 1988, the first Raman fiber laser based on fiber Bragg gratings has been made. Fiber Bragg gratings are narrow-band reflectors and act as the mirrors of the laser cavity. They are inscribed directly into the core of the optical fiber used as the gain medium, which eliminates substantial losses that previously arose due to the coupling of the fiber to external bulk-optic cavity reflectors.

Nowadays, commercially available fiber-based Raman lasers can deliver output powers in the range of a few tens of Watts in continuous-wave operation. A technique that is commonly employed in these devices is cascading, first proposed in 1994: The "first-order" laser light that is generated from the pump light in a single frequency-shifting step remains trapped in the laser resonator and is pushed to such high power levels that it acts itself as the pump for the generation of "second-order" laser light that is shifted by the same vibrational frequency again. In this way, a single laser resonator is used to convert the pump light (typically around 1060 nm) through several discrete steps to an "arbitrary" desired output wavelength.

Silicon Raman lasers
More recently, Raman lasing has been demonstrated in silicon-based integrated-optical waveguides by Bahram Jalali's group at the University of California in Los Angeles in 2004 (pulsed operation ) and by Intel in 2005 (continuous-wave ), respectively. These developments received much attention because it was the first time that a laser was realized in silicon: "classical" lasing based on electronic transitions is prohibited in crystalline silicon due to its indirect bandgap. Practical silicon-based light sources would be very interesting for the field of silicon photonics, which seeks to exploit silicon not only for realizing electronics but also for novel light-processing functionality on the same chip.

Henry Frères (crater)

Henry Frères is a lunar impact crater that is located in the southwestern part of the near side of the Moon. It was named after the brothers Paul Henry and Prosper Henry, French astronomers. It lies just to the west-northwest of the crater Henry, a similar diameter feature. To the west-southwest of Henry Frères is the much larger crater Byrgius. Rays from the satellite crater Byrgius A lie across the floor of this formation, forming a wispy trace from west to east.

The outer rim of Henry Frères is nearly circular, with a slight outward bulge along the southwest. When viewed from the Earth, however, this crater has more of an oval shape due to foreshortening. There is some irregularity along the northeast, but the rim is otherwise not significantly eroded or overlain by craters of note. The western part of the interior floor has some uneven areas, and a small crater lies in the northern part of the floor.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Henry Frères.

Criollo horse

The Criollo (in Spanish), or Crioulo (in Portuguese), is the native horse of the Pampas (a natural region between Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, in South America) with a reputation for long-distance endurance linked to a low basal metabolism. The breed, known for its hardiness and stamina, is popular in its home countries.

The word criollo or crioulo originally referred to human and animals of pure-bred Spanish ancestry who were born in the Americas, or to animals or slaves born in the Americas. In time, the meaning of the word would simply come to refer to native breeds of the Americas.

Breed characteristics
The Criollo is a hardy horse with a brawny and strong body with broad chest and well-sprung ribs. They have sloping strong shoulders with muscular necks, short and strong legs with good bone structure and resistant joints, low-set hocks, and sound hard feet. The medium to large size long-muzzled head has a straight or slightly convex profile with wide-set eyes. The croup is sloping, the haunches well-muscled, and the back, short with a strong loin.

The criollo is tractable, intelligent, willing, and sensible. Criollo horses average 14.3 hands (149 cm) high, being the maximum height for stallions and geldings of 14 to 15 hands (142-152 cm) high. The difference between the maximum and minimum height for mares is approximately 2 cm (one inch). The line-backed dun is the most popular color, but the breed may also come in bay, brown, black, chestnut, grullo, buckskin, palomino, blue or strawberry roan, gray and overo colors.

The breed is famous for its endurance capabilities and ability to live in harsh conditions, as their homeland has both extreme heat and cold weather. They are frugal eaters, thriving on little grass. They have good disease resistance and are long-lived horses.

Breed history
The breed dates back to a 1535 shipment of 100 purebred Spaniards – Andalusian stallions coming from Cadiz, Spain, to the Rio de la Plata imported by the founder of Buenos Aires, Pedro de Mendoza.

In 1540, the hostility of the native populace forced the Spaniards to abandon Buenos Aires and release 12 to 45 horses. When Buenos Aires was resettled in 1580, it is estimated that the feral horse population numbered around 12,000. Since they largely reproduced in the wild, the criollo developed into an extremely hardy horse capable of surviving the extreme heat and cold, subsisting with little water, and living off the dry grasses of the area. Settlers later came and started capturing horses for riding and use as pack animals. The Native Americans had already been doing that many years before. Throughout the 19th century, a large proportion of the horses were crossed with imported European Thoroughbred, coach, and draft horse stallions, and a larger, coarser, long-striding multi-purpose, saddle-cart horse resulted. However, the crossbreeding nearly ruined the native Spanish horse type. In 1918, the Argentine breeders decided to create a purebred criollo registry, and the breeders' association was then formed in 1923. Much infighting occurred between Emilio Solanet and Enrique Crotto's groups. The first promoted the Asian-type crioulo and the latter the taller African type with a coarse, convex head; fallen croup; and thinner mane and tail.

It was not until 1934 that Dr. Solanet was able to firmly take control of the breeders association. He set a new goal for the breed with a shorter, more compact stock horse which emulated the Chilean Horse breed that he admired so much. In 1938, 70% of the registered crioulos were culled because they did not possess the phenotype desired by Dr. Solanet and his followers. The new breed standard, about which he had written in 1928, was finally made available to the public once he was assured that the breeders were more united in their breed objectives. It would not be until 1957 that the registry was closed for Argentine native breeds, but the registry has remained open for the Chilean Horse breed that has been so influential in giving shape to the crioulo as a better stock horse. Nevertheless, the breed maintains its own identity in a taller, leggier and squarer body conformation with a more angular hock that gives it the long stride it requires to cover the great distances in the flat Argentine plains known as "Pampas". The modern crioulo head has a straight facial profile and a shorter muzzle with longer ears than is typical in the Chilean Horse breed.

Endurance
The breeders implemented rigorous endurance tests to help evaluate horses for breeding. In these events known as La Marcha, the horses are ridden over a 750 km (466 mi) course to be completed in 75 hours split into 14 days. No supplemental feed is allowed. The horses are required to carry heavy loads of 245 lb (110 kg) on their backs and may only eat the grass at the side of the road. At the end of the day, a veterinarian checks the horses.

Today, the horse is used mainly as a working cow horse, but it is also considered a pleasure and trail horse which contributed a great deal to the Argentine polo pony They are also excellent rodeo and endurance horses. The national rodeo competition is known as paleteada, and it involves a paired team of horses and riders that approach a steer from both sides at a full run. The steer is sandwiched in between the two horses that lean onto the bovine, practically carrying it down a 60 m long delineated path beyond which the horses must not go during the defined trajectory. It is an amazing demonstration of control that can literally pick up a steer and place it wherever it needs to be.

One example of the breed's fantastic endurance was the ride made by the Swiss-born Argentine rider Professor Aimé Félix Tschiffely (1894–1954) between 1925 and 1928. Tschiffely took two crioulos, 16-year-old Mancha and 15-year-old Gato, on a 21500 km trek from Buenos Aires to Manhattan, New York, crossing snow-capped mountains, the world's driest desert, the thickest tropical jungles, riding in all types of weather. Alternating the riding and packing between the two horses, the trio took three years to finish the trip. Tschiffely went through many hardships on the trip, including a bout of malaria, from the Pampas across La Quiaca, from La Paz, to Cuzco, Lima, Trujillo, Quito, Medellin and Cartagena. They rode up to 5,900 m above sea level, through Passo El Cóndor, between Potosi and Chaliapata,(Bolivia). The horses did well in a wide array of extreme topographies and climates. Gato lived to be 36 and Mancha 40. They lived the last years of their lives as celebrities in La estancia El Cardal (El Cardal Ranch), the breeding establishment of the man most credited for developing the crioulo breed, Dr. Emilio Solanet.

In 1987, Jorge Saenz Rosas, owner of the Argentine Estancia Cristiano Muerto, offered his criollo Sufridor to the American Louis Bruhnke and the Russian-French Vladimir Fissenko for a horseback ride from the Beagle Channel in Tierra del Fuego up to the shores of the Arctic Ocean in Deadhorse, Alaska. After traveling for five and a half years, the ride was accomplished in the summer of 1993. Having made the entire journey, the Criollo Sufridor is likely the horse that has traveled the farthest in a single direction. The ride was chronicled in the book Sufridor, Emece (2000) (ISBN 9789500421355), written by Louis Bruhnke.

Talk:ROH World Tag Team Championship

Discussion
I have taken the title history found on ROH Tag-Team Championship and placed it here. I tried to put it into a table but the title defences section hasnt come out right, so if anyone can think of a better way to do it; please do. If not, shall i remove the defences? Paulley 16:09, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I moved it back. The article is too stubby without the title history to warrant a breakout. I'm not sure we really need to list every title defence; we don't in other championship articles, it isn't particularly useful information, and it would quickly get unmanageably long. Adding a column for number of defences in a given reign could be valuable, however.   — Gwalla | Talk 17:58, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah the title defense thing is key to ROH's title histories. On their official website they list the title histories by defense, so in my opinion it would be kind of useful to have at least something showing successful defenses or defenses before the title was lost to another wrestler. TonyFreakinAlmeida 15:54, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * This is the last version of the article that incorporated the defenses. It's basically unreadable. The only thing I might support is a column for number of successful defenses. Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 05:18, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Replacement for Mark Briscoe
There's nothing that suggests Jay & Aries will be the champs from here on out; merely that Aries will be Jay's partner for the match against the Age of the Fall. Given that that pairing makes sense given current storylines (Aries and Jimmy Jacobs are feuding), it remains possible, unless something's explicitly said that Aries is a permanent replacement, that Jay will continually pick replacements for each defense (as if he and Mark were still the champions the whole time). Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 20:40, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * My guess is that he is a replacement for the entire reign. Yes, while you have a point here, it would be pretty Russo-riffic for Jay to select a partner for every title defense, and ROH is a promotion that tries to be everything but that.  Aries is permanent from the looks of it.  I kind of think that they might lose the titles soon though. TonyFreakinAlmeida (talk) 02:33, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, one way or the other, we'll know after the defense against the Age of the Fall. Either they lose the belts, Aries remains the partner, or someone else steps in. It's not that big a deal, in any case. Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 23:13, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Per ROH's title history page,, Aries is considered a substitute in a title defense (like Homicide was when AJ Styles & Amazing Red were the champs), and not a champion himself. I'll make the necessary edits. Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 00:44, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Class Rating
I'm changing this down from a B class article, to a C. I'm not convinced it should be anything more than a start class article, as it has few references, and very little information. Lee Vilenski(talk) 15:00, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Cwmtwrch

Cwmtwrch is a village in the valley of the Afon Twrch, a right-bank tributary to the Swansea Valley, Wales, some 15 miles north of Swansea. It is also the name of an electoral ward to Powys County Council.

Actors Craig Russell, Richard Corgan and Steven Meo all come from the village.

The Sci Fi comedy horror film Canaries is set and was filmed in Cwmtwrch.

History and origins
The name Cwmtwrch (meaning Valley of the wild boar) derives from the "Twrch Trwyth", a mythical wild boar of King Arthur's legends and the ancient Welsh folklore tales of the Mabinogion in early Welsh literature.

The legend relates to one of Arthur's tasks: to rid the western Brecon Beacons of the pack of wild boars that were terrorizing the people. Arthur chased the boars from Dyfed eastward towards Powys. On the Black Mountain, he picked up a large stone (the carreg fryn fras) and cast it towards the wild animals, striking dead the leader of the pack on the edge of a valley near Craig-y-Fran Gorge. The big boar's body rolled down the valley and into the river which is now the Afon Twrch. The big stone is still on the mountain.

The early history of Cwmtwrch is found in the records of the Manor of Palleg. This small estate was owned by the Aubrey family in the early 16th century. In 1595 was said to include 20 farms scattered around the high ground to the north of the Twrch river. There was also a corn mill, Felin Palleg, close to the river.

The manor passed to the Morgan family of Tredegar House, Newport South Wales, by the late 18th century. They employed a gamekeeper to look after the estate. Local woodland would have been a source of charcoal for the early iron furnace at Ynyscedwyn from the 17th century onwards. The best of the mature hardwood trees from the area were felled and sold off during the early 19th century.

The now vanished Tir-y-gof Farm was used by drovers as a base where their cattle were shod on their long journeys to market. Alongside the industrial workers there were tailors, shoemakers and blacksmiths, publicans and shopkeepers. There were also numerous chapels in the village, namely Bethania Chapel (1851), Bethel Chapel (1861), Beulah Chapel (1893) and Capel Newydd (1930).

Ebeneser Rees (1848-1908), the founder of the "Llais Llafur" newspaper was raised in Cwmtwrch and is buried in the Beulah Chapel Cemetery, Palleg.

Cwmtwrch has been split into two parts, Upper Cwmtwrch (Cwm Twrch Uchaf) and Lower Cwmtwrch (Cwm Twrch Isaf), due to the traversing of the now defunct railway line and road at two points requiring an upper and lower gate.

Nearby is the town of Ystradgynlais and villages of Ystradowen, Rhiwfawr and Ystalyfera.

Governance
Cwm-twrch is the name of the electoral ward which covers the western quarter of the Ystradgynlais community and includes Cwmtwrch Isaf and Cwmtwrch Uchaf to the south. In 2004 a slice of the neighbouring Neath Port Talbot ward of Ystalyfera, bordering Cwmtwrch Isaf, was transferred to the Cwm-twrch ward. The ward elects one county councillor to Powys County Council.

A Cwmtwrch & Gurnos ward is represented by up to four town councillors on Ystradgynlais Town Council.

Sport
Cwmtwrch is home to the rugby union team Cwmtwrch RFC a Welsh Rugby Union affiliated club with over a hundred years of history. A resident was Clive Rowlands, former Wales national rugby union team captain, who also managed both the national team and the British Lions.

The village football team, Cwm Wanderers A.F.C., is long established and successful having won the Neath Premier division on 16 occasions. They have also won 15 cups to make them the most successful team in the league's history.

Golf is played at Palleg Golf Club which is located in Lower Cwmtwrch. A mountain course, it was extended to eighteen holes through lottery funding.

Doesn't contain anything except notice that author wants this to be a placeholder/discussion forum for open problems, however, we have No original research. Talk page contains something, so I listed it here. Samohyl Jan 16:11, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I agree with the previous entry. My point is that the tetration entry is full of people’s personal research. Because I am new to Wikipedia I wanted to move the material elsewhere instead of just deleting it. The following is from a page I added last night that was immediately deleted explaining my issue. I have no problem with the deletion of that page either but the following problem remains.

Text from former page The initial motivation of this article is the practical need of researchers in the field of tetration and Ackermann function to grapple in a dignified manner with the fact that this phenomena persists, despite the fact that Internet search engines now make it easy to locate prior work. Particularly confusing is the continual introduction on the Internet of redundant nomenclature and notation. This is likely due to the intractability of extending tetration and the Ackermann function from the positive integers to the real and complex numbers. The chaotic nature of these problems has resulted in their suspension within the domain of protoscience for decades, if not hundreds of years. Daniel Geisler 3:08, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hello all
I enjoy reading Wikipedia, and when I should be doing something else I sometimes get hooked on editing it (instead of some other aimless pursuit). I don't contribute much new material – I mainly work as a janitor of sorts. Since I speak English as a second language, I'm a little hesitant of actually writing anything. Furthermore, I'm more interested in managing existing material than in producing more of it. I do sometimes address blatant omissions in articles.

Most of my edits are minor and easy to do.People can kill each other. I repair links that point to disambiguation pages, revert vandalism (and bad reverting attempts), change words in headings to lower case, fix spelling errors etc. It's more relaxing when you don't have to worry about the correctness of the information inserted, but are instead able to point to a Manual of Style page as the authority behind the changes. There is a lot of polishing to do in all sorts of pages. I have also been involved in stub sorting, voting for deletion, and other activities. However, I haven't listed myself as a member of any project.

Easy fixup projects
These are easy for me at least. You don't have to commit to anything by doing these helpful little tasks now and then. On the other hand, you're not likely to get much praise eiher.

 * Disambiguation pages with links
 * Select a disambiguation page with a commmon enough title, click "What links here" and fix the links to point to correct pages. While you're at it, you can clean up the disambiguation page to comply with the Manual of Style.
 * Category:Category needed
 * Select uncategorised articles (usually stubs) from a list and find the correct categories for them. This gets rid of a big and unsightly notice on the pages, and helps people interested in a topic to find similar articles.
 * WikiProject Stub sorting
 * Select a stub category that has too many articles in it and change the stub templates in the articles to more precise ones (or remove them completely if the article has grown past stub stage).
 * Recent changes patrol
 * Click "Recent changes" and then "Hide logged-in users". You'll get a list of recent edits made by IP-only editors. Check those edits and revert any vandalism you find. If it's a clear-cut case, mark the edit as minor.
 * Typo
 * Use a search engine to find spelling/typing errors in Wikipedia. This is quite unproductive, but gives Wikipedia a nicer look and makes reading easier.

Socialist Party (India)

Socialist Party has been the name of several political parties in India, all of which have their roots in the Congress Socialist Party during the freedom struggle.

Background
Socialism had a late appearance in Indian politics and this was attributed to a preoccupation on the part of political activists with the independence movement. Differences in class, political perspectives, and economic objectives were set aside in favor of securing freedom from the British colonial rule. Specifically, socialist doctrines were even seen as a liability due to its theme of class conflict, which could have weakened national forces in their struggle for freedom.

Once the socialist movement emerged, the Indian concept turned out to be different due to its rejection of the orthodox Marxist dogma or the so-called scientific socialist doctrines that focus on the dictatorship of the proletariat. The Indian model holds that socialism cannot be achieved through the State apparatus. One of its rationales stated that "If the State is looked upon as the sole agent for social reconstruction, we get nothing but a regimented society in which the State is all powerful and popular initiative is extinct and the individual is made a cog in a vast inhuman machine." Indian socialism became aligned with the Gandhian principle that right outcomes would only be achieved through the right means. Overall, it has clear links to traditional Indian thought and philosophical traditions.

The former Congress Socialist Party
The original Socialist Party had its roots in the Congress Socialist Party (CSP), the socialist caucus of the Indian National Congress, which fused in 1948 with the Bolshevik-Leninist Party of India, Ceylon and Burma (BLPI). Hector Abhayavardhana of the BLPI became General Secretary of the new party. The Socialist Party was founded not long after India's independence when Jayprakash Narayan, Rambriksh Benipuri, Basawon Singh (Sinha), Acharya Narendra Dev led the CSP out of Congress. At the time, Congress's leader Jawaharlal Nehru held positions that were widely admired by the rank and file of the CSP.

Socialist Party (1951)
Despite Jayaprakash Narayan's personal popularity, the Socialist Party won only 12 seats at the 1951 Indian general election, and its electoral fortunes did not improve. The SP merged with the Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party, which was formed by J.B. Kripalani, to form the Praja Socialist Party.

Praja Socialist Party
The Praja Socialist Party was an Indian political party in existence from 1952 to 1972. It was founded when the Socialist Party, led by Jayprakash Narayan, Acharya Narendra Deva, Ramvriksh Benipuri and Basawon Singh (Sinha), merged with the Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party led by J.B. Kripalani (formerly a close associate of Jawaharlal Nehru). A section led by Rammanohar Lohia broke from the party in 1955, resuming the name "Socialist Party".

In 1972, SSP was reunited with PSP, forming the Socialist Party.

In 1974 and 1975, JP led satyagrahas against the government of Indira Gandhi and called for a 'Total Revolution' in the countryside. In response, Indira declared the two-year State of Emergency under which her own power was consolidated and JP was jailed. At that time, George Fernandes, chairman of the Socialist Party of India, who had faced prosecution for conspiracy against the government of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, sought to obtain funding from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and the French government in order to organize underground sabotage activities. After an initial request to seek funding from the French government was turned down, U.S. diplomatic cables showed that he was "prepared to accept money from the CIA".

After the Emergency, the Socialist Party joined with a number of other groups to form the Bharatiya Lok Dal, which fused in 1977 into Janata Party as an omnibus opposition to Congress Party rule.

Samyukta Socialist Party
The Samyukta Socialist Party was a political party in India from 1964 to 1972. SSP was formed through a split in the Praja Socialist Party (PSP) in 1964. In 1965, Ram Manohar Lohia merged his Socialist Party (Lohia) with SSP. In 1972, SSP was reunited with PSP, forming the Socialist Party. The General Secretary of the SSP from 1969 to 1971 was George Fernandes.

Socialist Party (1972)
In 1972, one faction of SSP  led by Madhu Limaye and George Fernandes was reunited with PSP, forming the Socialist Party. In 1977, the Socialist Party combined with  the Indian National Congress (Organization), BLD and the Jan Sangh to form the Janata Party.

Samajwadi Party
The Samajwadi Party, (Hindi translation: Socialist Party), is a political party which draws its lineage from the Janata Dal, Janata Party, Lok Dal and eventually Socialist Party as well.

Socialist Party (India), 2011
In 2011, several socialist groups and individuals formed the Socialist Party (India), which intends to carry forward the legacy of the Socialist Party formed in 1948. The party was formed through a resolution passed by Mr. Pannalal Surana at the foundation conference on 28 May 2011, under the chairmanship of Prof. Keshav Rao Jadhav.

Party National Conference held at Wardha in Gujarath on 28–30 September 2021 elected Adv Thampan Thomas Ex MP from Kerala as president and Dr.Sandeep Pandey of  UP as General Secretary.

Van Vleck (crater)

Van Vleck is a lunar impact crater that is located near the northeastern rim of the walled plain Gilbert, to the west of the Mare Smythii. The similar crater Weierstrass is nearly joined to the northwestern rim of Van Vleck. To the east is the small Carrillo.

The rim of this crater is nearly circular with no overlying craters of note, although a small crater abuts against the northeastern side and another along the southern inner wall. The inner sides slope down to a slumped ring of unconsolidated material that encircles the interior floor. There is a small peak just to the north of the crater center.

This crater was previously identified as Gilbert M before being assigned a name by the IAU in 1976.

Kerlouan

Kerlouan (Kerlouan) is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in northwestern France not far from Brest. It also contains the village of Meneham.

Population
Inhabitants of Kerlouan are called in French Kerlouanais.

Fishing hamlet of Meneham

The village of Meneham, locate in Pagan county (bro bagan), was initially built as a lookout post in the 17th century by Vauban. The main building has the distinction of having a stone roof. The inhabitants came to steal the wood used for the fire.

The lookout is built around many huge granite rocks. This village is almost deserted and in disrepair in the 1990s. A rehabilitation operation is then initiated from 2004.

The old cottage is now the Village Inn (restaurant).

Sights

 * Kerlouan transmitter, for transmitting orders to submerged submarines in VLF-range.
 * The coast is another great point of interest, as are the beaches of "Boutrouille" and "Le Fanal", and for climbers the "île aux vaches".
 * Le Gallion restaurant is located in the northwestern part of the main town.

British Airways Maintenance Cardiff

British Airways Maintenance Cardiff (BAMC), also known as British Airways Maintenance is a major aircraft maintenance facility located at Cardiff Airport and a wholly-owned subsidiary of British Airways and part of British Airways Engineering. It carries out heavy maintenance on all of British Airways Boeing long haul aircraft.

History
In June 1990, a proposal was made to build a £70m hangar for maintenance of the BA 747 fleet at Cardiff Airport to employ 1,200 people. It was formally opened in June 1993. From February 2008, BAMC also maintained Boeing 767-300 series aircraft for BA whilst a further advance in capability has seen the introduction of Boeing 777-200ER/LR and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft from July 2010. The hangar also has the capability to handle a Boeing 787.

Structure
It has a three-bay hangar with two additional 'Nose In' facilities for interior modifications. It is based at Tredogan near Rhoose in the Vale of Glamorgan. BAMC employs in excess of 650 people, in three main departments:

 * Production
 * Planning & Materials
 * Compliance

Other BA operations in the area included British Airways Avionic Engineering at Pontyclun, Rhondda Cynon Taff, and British Airways Interiors Engineering in Blackwood, Caerphilly.In 2022 all three subsidiaries were brought under one roof at the BAMC facility at Cardiff airport and was renamed to British Airways Engineering Wales (BAEW).

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Kai Cenat. ''You changed "birth place" without providing a reference. If this person was indeed born in St. Louis and not New York, then please provide a reference stating such. Thank you.''

Talk:Blood circle

Shape
The article describes the blood circle as a circular plane. Wouldn't it be more of a sphere or a cylinder? --Doradus 16:23, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * No discussion for a month; I went ahead and changed it to "sphere". --Doradus 18:19, Mar 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * But everyone I know calls it a circle Rlevse 13:13, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree that 'sphere' is more accurate for descriptive purposes, seeing as how checking above you is necessary when using an axe, as you wouldn't want to knock off a tree branch and have it fall on you! Watermellonman 21:54, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Image
Added a slightly improved image of the blood circle; it's still a bit crude, but it's easier to figure out than the previous one. Agateller 22:10, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Pulau Hantu

Pulau Hantu is located to the south of the main island of Singapore, off the Straits of Singapore. Pulau Hantu is actually made up of two islets: Pulau Hantu Besar (Big Ghost Island) and Pulau Hantu Kechil (Little Ghost Island), with a total area of 12.6 hectares. At low tide, it is possible to wade across the shallow lagoon between the two islands, but not at high tide.

Etymology
The name of Pulau Hantu literally means "Ghost Island" in Malay.

It may refer to the "disappearing" moment of the middle part of the island during the high tide. During the low tide, Pulau Hantu can be seen as one island with two large bays on its northern and southern sides. However, during the high tide, the water level in both bays would rise and the mid-section of the island (which is geographically lower than the other areas) would disappear under the rising tide and thus result in two separate and smaller islands.

Legend
Pulau Hantu was where ancient Malay warriors once had fierce duels to the death and their ghosts are said to wander on the island.

In particular, there were once two great warriors locked in a ferocious battle at sea. Many people died from their savage fighting and the blue seas surrounding the area slowly turned red and became polluted with human blood, upsetting the Jinns (or spirits, in Islamic culture) at the bottom of the ocean. In anger, one specially-powerful Jinn created a large whirlpool and it sucked the two warriors into the deep sea to drown them. Not deterred, they continued on with their battle. The Jinn then sprayed water on one of the men. The other warrior, seeing his opponent blinded by the water-spray and momentarily dazed, thrust his sword into his abdomen. At the same time, the blinded and wounded warrior managed to plunge his sword into the other man, with both collapsing and dying soon after.

The God, however, felt that it was wrong for the sea-spirits to interfere in human affairs. Thus, the Jinn, being repentant, transformed the two warriors into islets so that their spirits can continue to live on them. As one of the warriors was smaller than the other, his islet was known as Pulau Hantu Kecil (Small Ghost Island), while the bigger one for the larger warrior was called Pulau Hantu Besar (Big Ghost Island).

Current
Despite its forbidding name, Pulau Hantu is a favourite haunt for fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling enthusiasts because of its sheltered beaches, swimming lagoons and inviting waters. The islands are also popular with campers and day-trippers who prefer a unique outdoor experience.

Pulau Hantu has rich reefs despite its proximity to Pulau Bukom's refineries. A wide variety of corals can be found on Pulau Hantu, and mushroom corals are particularly abundant in the waters surrounding the islands. Common sea life that can also be found include the clown fish or anemonefish, damselfishes, wrasses and angelfish. The rare giant clam and the seahorse can sometimes be seen. There is a small patch of mangroves between Pulau Hantu Kecil and Pulau Hantu Besar, where native seashore plants also line their beaches.

Visibility, like most of Singapore's waters, is chronic, ranging from as low as 0.1 m to more than 3m.

It was reported in the 3 June 2006 edition of The Straits Times that a plan to create a "marine sanctuary" has been dropped due to opposition from conservationists. The plan, known as Project Noah, was to install mechanical filters at the two ends of the lagoon separating Pulau Hantu Kecil and Pulau Hantu Besar, to clear the waters of excess silt and pave the way for coral growth within the lagoon.

Coral Reef Surveys
The National Parks Board, National Biodiversity Centre, Blue Water Volunteers and volunteers from the public started a coral reef surveying programme in 2005 to monitor the status of hard corals, mobile invertebrates and reef fish at several locations around 5 southern islands, including Pulau Hantu. Internationally recognised techniques developed by Reef Check and the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network were adopted for this programme.
