Advocate
If your serious, I know exactly where you could help, but be careful, and scope it out 1st (I don't want you in over your head!). Talk:Atheism is in bad shape, which is why User:20040302 was on AMA_Requests_for_Assistance asking for help with it. There are some really unfriendly people there, some of whom hate me (yes me! :O quite a bit, and the discussion is badly bogged down. Have a look and see if your up for it. If not, I could give you dozens of ideas, but this is the most intractable situation I know of. BTW, I'm not looking for you to advocate for my, or anybodys POV (advocate your own, or none, or whatever you like). What I'm looking for rather is a new personality w a focus on civility, progress, NPOV, intellectual honesty, etc... Let me know what you think, [[User:Sam Spade|Sam Spade Wants you to vote!]] 23:26, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I read quickly the talk page and I found lots of unpolite comments specially against you. I'll contact myself with the user you're talking about. Thanks! --Neigel von Teighen 23:30, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hey, thanks alot for your involvement, the page is looking much better, and I think you were largely involved in assisting in that progress. Let me know if theres anything I can help you with, and thanks again. Cheers, [[User:Sam Spade|Sam Spade Wants you to vote!]] 13:30, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks, but I didn't do anything! It seems that Dec. 10th 2004 should be declared the Talk:Atheism day: everything changed since then! Is there any other problematic site like that? I'd be glad to help too. Thanks for advicing me. --Neigel von Teighen 22:52, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Regarding above
Just to let you know: Sam Spade is a self-identified "anti-atheist" "fundamentalist theist" known for POV pushing.

See Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2004/Candidate_statements/Endorsements/Sam_Spade for a list of users opposing him. Sam Spade and his cronies would like nothing more than for Wikipedia to promote POV pushing and deletionism.

Here's some more Sam Spade quotes: Sam Spade is not as innocent as he purports to be. Don't fall into the trap, Sam Spade is full of crap! Adraeus 23:12, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Spade says, "I am militantly anti-atheist. ... I am a fundamentalist theist, with a close, personal relationship to God."
 * "For me, 'without theism' translates directly to 'apart from God'. Being apart from God is a decision, it cannot be done accidentally. God is always here; we must choose not to accept him. have you ever wondered why every culture on earth has God and/or gods? The concept is omnipresent, a Jungian symbol, inherent and instinctual to the human animal."
 * "I also happen to know God is conscious, since I have a personal relationship w him (this is an extra bonus not everybody has, or so I hear). Since God is all, and imminent within all things, all things are alive and conscious to me. Its called Pantheism, Monism, Panentheism, Sanatana Dharma, lots of things, but it is in no way illogical or disprovable. Science is simply one way of reading Gods law."
 * "As far as 'what’s the point of having a God', that’s a nonsensical question to a believer in an immanent God. We might as soon ask 'why exist?'. God is more than efficient; he is the only basis for reality. His absence leads to a removal of existence. In other words, without him there is nothing."

 * I'm also theist (not fundamentalist) and I really don't care about your problems with Sam, and, if he isn't innocent, I will manage it personally.
 * Anyway, I wanted to discuss about your definition of ideology and why I think your religion definition is a rather a definition of the other word. Will you? --Neigel von Teighen 23:17, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Advocate for User:Vfp15 on Charles Darwin
I accept your gracious offer. The Summary on Talk:Charles Darwin best explains my position on why the factoid contibutes something to our knowledge of the man. The initial posting on July 19th was by User:Brutannica and the word coincidentally was put in on 16 September.

Finally, I agree this IS a silly thing to argue about, but I care about the principle. It feels like I'm being bullied into submission. Personally frustrating of course, but also, there is a feel that some people have taken over an article as their own little baby. Like I said many many times, I'm open to compromise. I insist that the point be mentioned somewhere, but I'm completely flexible as to where and how it is mentioned. Vincent 00:28, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Oh yes: I have one more justification, mentioned at the very bottom of the summary section.

 * Google backs up the relevance of the shared AL & CD birthday with over 4000 results, while it only yields 14 results for the same search on Koizumi, Hawking and birthday.

Again thanks for your support. Vincent 03:39, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I'll help you and join as a part in the mediation (as the AMA guidelines and somewhere in the Mediation/Arbitration policies say, the advocate(s) are also litigants). You should know that I voted against the factoid because of not being completely informed about the situation in there. I think the factoid is irrelevant, but abusive posts (and reverts) aren't. The question is: how will we communicate, by e-mail, by my talk page or your talk page? That's the first thing.
 * I'll add the request for mediation into my watchlist and add all I can. --Neigel von Teighen 17:15, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I'm boycotting the vote 1) beause it was proposed too late in the process, simply as a way to quiet me, and 2) because POV by a majority is still POV. I stand by my summary until (or if) we reach arbitration. I will accept the decision of the arbitration committee as final and will stop edits if they find against me, but will continue edits if they do not accept to hear the case.
 * BTW, You'll notice that I ran a vote earlier. In that case, the opinions were divided and it really was a matter of preference and style, not of fact.
 * Duncharris abused his admin privileges yesterday. He disabled by wikipedia access, even though I was keeping within the three reverts per day rule. Concerned that I was maybe in fact abusing a rule, I read the 3RR page and saw that it was perfectly acceptable to do this, in fact it's even acceptable to ask friends to use their three-reverts on my behalf. An example of abuse would be to use sockpuppets. I don't always log in to edit, but I always make it obvious who I am.

 * Finally, I have been accused of vandalism. Sorry, I am reinserting a fact, not a lie, not dirty words or jokes. However some people have been inserting comments into the article instead of on the talk page, yet they have not been accused of vandalism.

I don't think this has gotten to arbitration level YET. Would you please email me in case Duncharris abuses his privileges again? My email is v/f/p/1/5 A/T h/o/t/m/a/i/l DOT c/o/m Thanks.Vincent 07:53, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi Neigel. I've reinserted the factoid after a one-week truce. See Talk:Charles Darwin/Lincoln. Hopefully people will have cooled off enough to accept a compromise. If the revert war resumes, I will take it to arbitration. I think I have a very good case. I don't mean that the arbitrators will personally agree that the factoid belongs in there, but I think they will agree as arbitrators that it passes the wikipedia tests. If the revert war does resume, 1) I will ask that the arbitration issues a comment on the talk page saying that the factoid can stay in and 2) ban for 24 hours any current participant in the edit war that deletes the factoid within the next month. I will also ask for personal apologies from a few users including User:Adraeus (see his comments on Votes for deletion/The Ten Most Influential People of the Second_Millennium). I will also ask that User:Fredrik have his admin rights removed. He seems to think edit wars are fun, which I think hardly befits a wikipedia admin. Vincent 02:58, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi Nigel. Noisy removed the fact again, so I went ahead and asked for arbitration. Thanks for your support. Vincent 05:03, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

hellenism
I am certainly not fluent, but I know some Greek, yes. (and, sorry, I should have said TLG:). Also, regarding the above comments, thanks for being willing to tackle the less pleasant depths of WP! dab (ᛏ) 08:48, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm in the same situation as you, dab. --Neigel von Teighen 17:16, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Mediation
After I wrote my response at Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation, I saw that the case you alluded to is one that I am trying to participate in. Please contact me offline about it. -- llywrch 18:25, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Call for AMA election
AMA Member Advocate,

There's a poll currently in the AMA Homepage about making a new AMA Coordinator election. Please, cast your vote there (though it's not mandatory). Any comments you have about this, write it on the AMA Homepage talk page. Cheers, --Neigel von Teighen 18:43, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Neigel, thanks for starting the poll about the new election. I appreciate your input and I see nothing wrong with an election, but I am thinking about making a call for our first annual members meeting before having a new election since we have never had a members meeting yet. — ©    Alex756   19:20, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Proposals for AMA Membership Meeting
As AMA Coordinator I am requesting that suggestions be placed on AMA Membership Meeting plans for our first membership meeting, to be held in the near future, (hopefully before any election occurs.) Since we have never had any kind of "official" meeting we need to discuss how this will occur (i.e. Wiki pages or IRC channel), how it will be structured (i.e. meeting agenda) and if there will be any "chair" to supervise the meeting and meeting "secretary" to write up minutes or keep some kind of official record of what transpires. Thanks in advance for your input and your continued work as an advocate. — ©   Alex756   19:56, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!
Nigel, I appreciated your feedback on my wiki-error of misplaced comments. I initially thought that it was sent as help, and I do thank you for taking the time to get me going in the right direction."[[user: stude62"]] 02:21, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Adminship
Hi. Looking over your edits I like what I see. Thanks for your work against vandalism and towards resolving disputes. However I am not supporting your self-nomination on Requests for adminship. Please don't take this personally; I (along with some other Wikipedians) like to see a good deal more than the your c. 200 edits to make an evaluation. I think your small number of edits is your most likely roadblock towards adminship at this time. Know that you may withdraw your nomination for the time if you wish. Keep up the good work and develop a longer edit history, and you'll probably have my enthusiastic support for adminship in the future. Best wishes, -- Infrogmation 20:31, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Adminship
Heya, I noticed you withdrew your RfA, probably a wise decision. Don't sweat it too much, with the good grace you displayed in withdrawing your RfA you'll make admin in no time as soon as you rack up enough edits. Keep up the good work! --fvw *  01:16, 2005 Jan 13 (UTC)

Voluntary advice
As far as dealing with giving advice, my opinion is that our job as volunteers is to offer the advice in the spirit of cooperation with the member seeking help. If they don't accept the advice, well, the issue then becomes do you want to keep helping them or do you want them to realize if they don't really want your advice. They should either be upfront about that or run the risk of making you question your role; does everyone understand what AMA members are doing? Probably not. I got a call from someone at Red Herring a while back and they were running a story about Wikipedia. They could not figure out what the AMA was doing. I tried to explain to the writer about the dispute resolution process and about Wikipedia but she did not get it; really that is what selfless volunteerism is all about. Let me know if this helps, if not we can continue our discussion about this topic. Sorry it took a few days to respond, it is just that I have had the flu, always the best way to get me fast is to send me an email message. I check that account at least twice a day. — ©   Alex756   02:16, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * It helped! Thanks --Neigel von Teighen 13:08, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Introduction
I noticed you removed the HTML comment - that is, in fact, meant to be there since the page is intended for test editing. Feel free to remove profanity, but I'd suggest leaving the test edits alone so you don't confuse people who are reading the introduction. Rdsmith4— Dan | Talk 19:32, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Arbitration
Where did I call Vfp15 a lunatic? Also, my understanding is that me and Vincent must go through RfM RfC et al before RfAr. As much as understand his tactic of pre-emption, the ArbCom are notoriously legalistic when it comes to dispute resolution. Good luck anyway! --Mrfixter 23:20, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * You said it in That Solipsist refactored (see ) your comments doesn't mean that you didn't wrote it. --Neigel von Teighen 17:25, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Arbitration
Arbitration is being sought against you. See WP:RfAr. Adraeus 00:01, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

What!? I sought the arbitration because of being Vfp15's advocate! --Neigel von Teighen 17:26, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Operation Biting
Most certainly I accept you as my advocate. I am about to leave on vacation in a few days and will be unable to give this matter the attention it deserves. I welcome and appreciate your help. Paul, in Saudi 05:44, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)]]

Iliad
I noticed you just reverted someone's edit of the Iliad article. Though they were a bit tacky in their wording, what they said was accurate, just not appropriate for the intro. I'm undoing your revert and cleaning up their text. --Sean Kelly 18:39, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * I understand. --Neigel von Teighen 18:42, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Document Structure Description

Document Structure Description, or DSD, is a schema language for XML, that is, a language for describing valid XML documents. It's an alternative to DTD or the W3C XML Schema.

An example of DSD in its simplest form:

This says that element named "foo" in the XML namespace " http://example.com " may have two attributes, named "first" and "second". A "foo" element may not have any character data. It must contain one subelement, named "bar", also in the " http://example.com " namespace. A "bar" element is not allowed any attributes, character data or subelements.

One XML document that would be valid according to the above DSD would be:

Czech European Constitution referendum

The Czech referendum on the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe was expected to take place in 2006 to decide whether the Czech Republic should ratify the proposed Constitution of the European Union. Following the rejection of the Constitution by voters in France and the Netherlands, the Czech government announced that the proposed referendum would not be held.

The Czech Social Democrats, Christian Democrats and Green Party were strongly in favour of European integration, and campaigned in support of the proposed Constitution, but President Václav Klaus was an outspoken eurosceptic, and refused to sign the constitutional treaty in October 2004 (most countries, however, did not send their head of state to sign). Opposition Civic Democratic Party opposed the Constitution. The referendum was expected to be legally binding on the government.

Referendum bill
On 9 March 2005, the Czech government approved a bill that would permit referendums to be called on fundamental issues relating to the country's internal and foreign policy, and be called by any of the following:
 * A petition containing at least half a million signatures of Czech citizens.
 * Two thirds of the members in either chamber of the bicameral Czech parliament.
 * The government itself.

It is as yet uncertain whether the bill will pass. The opposition Civic Democratic Party has objected to the idea of referendums becoming a usual part of the Czech political system, and has instead motioned its own bill on a one-off referendum on the European Constitution.

If both bills fail to gather enough support, then it's quite possible that no referendum will be held and the matter of the ratification will be decided by the Czech parliament instead (where supporters of constitution do not have sufficient number of votes to accept the constitution, as of middle of 2005).

St. Thomas University (Florida)

St. Thomas University (STU) is a private Catholic university in Miami Gardens, Florida. The university offers 61 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, and post-graduate certificate programs on-campus and online. As of 2021, the university enrolled 5,921 students, which included 1,797 undergraduate students, 1,498 graduate students, 780 law students, 62 non-degree students, and 1,784 dual enrollment (high school) students. Over the years, the university's students have represented 45 states across the nation, and more than 70 countries.

The university is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

History
St. Thomas University's history can be traced back to 1946 Havana, Cuba, where it was founded as the Universidad Católica de Santo Tomás de Villanueva, named after Saint Thomas of Villanova. In 1961, Fidel Castro's militia confiscated the school's land and expelled the faculty and priests. In turn, the Augustinians fled to Miami and opened a new Catholic men's college – Biscayne College. In 1984, with the establishment of the School of Law and other graduate degree programs, the college, by then co-educational, again became St. Thomas University. The university came under the sponsorship of the Archdiocese of Miami in 1988, conferring upon St. Thomas the distinction of being the only Catholic Archdiocesan sponsored university in the state of Florida.

From 1970 until 1993, St. Thomas University was the training camp home of the Miami Dolphins NFL team. It was also the spring training home of the Baltimore Orioles.

The university was located in the Opa-locka North census-designated place, in an unincorporated area, until Miami Gardens incorporated as a city on May 13, 2003.

In 2019, St. Thomas University formally installed David A. Armstrong as the university's tenth president.

Academics
St. Thomas University offers 23 undergraduate majors, 24 graduate majors, four doctoral programs, and one professional law program through its four colleges and schools:
 * Benjamin L. Crump College of Law
 * Biscayne College of Social and Human Sciences
 * Gus Machado School of Business
 * School of Science, Technology and Health

St. Thomas University is a member of the Florida Association of Colleges and Universities, the Independent Colleges & Universities of Florida, the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, and the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities.

Study Abroad
Study abroad opportunities offer students study abroad experiences in Croatia, India, Israel, Italy, and Spain.

Rankings
U.S. News & World Report ranked St. Thomas University tied for 331 out of 331 in the National Universities category in their 2022-23 Best Colleges ranking.

Campus
150-acre campus is located in Miami Gardens, Florida; minutes away from Miami's beaches, Wynwood Art District, the MiMo District, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami Downtown. The University Library also contains the Archbishop John C. Favalora Archive and Museum. The museum opened in 2008 and is open to visitors free of charge during the week and by appointment on Saturdays

Residential life
St. Thomas has five residence halls: Villanova Hall, Cascia Hall, Sullivan Hall, University Inn, Murphy Family Hall, and New Hall.

Athletics
The St. Thomas athletic teams are called the Bobcats. The university is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), primarily competing in the Sun Conference (formerly known as the Florida Sun Conference (FSC) until after the 2007–08 school year) since the 1990–91 academic year. The Bobcats previously competed in the Sunshine State Conference (SSC) of the NCAA Division II ranks from 1975–76 to 1986–87.

St. Thomas competes in 28 intercollegiate varsity sports: Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, rugby, soccer, swimming & diving (2020), tennis, track & field and wrestling (2020); while women's sports include basketball, beach volleyball, bowling, cross country, flag football (2020), golf, lacrosse, rugby, soccer, softball, swimming & diving (2020), tennis, track & field and volleyball; and co-ed sports include cheerleading, competitive dance and eSports.

Honors
Last year, 12 of its 14 athletic teams received NAIA Scholar Team honors while five of the teams competed in national tournaments. Moreover, athletes annually maintain a 3.0 overall GPA. St. Thomas University prides itself on being "Champions of Character" and has annually been sighted as a Five Star Champions of Character Institution by the NAIA.

Notable alumni

10979 Fristephenson

10979 Fristephenson (provisional designation ) is a carbonaceous Sulamitis asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 5 km in diameter. It was discovered during the Palomar–Leiden Trojan survey on 29 September 1973, by Ingrid and Cornelis van Houten at Leiden, and Tom Gehrels at Palomar Observatory in California, United States. The dark C-type asteroid was named for British historian of astronomy Francis Richard Stephenson.

Orbit and classification
Fristephenson is a member of the Sulamitis family (408), a small family of 300 known carbonaceous asteroids named after 752 Sulamitis. It orbits the Sun in the inner main-belt at a distance of 2.3–2.7 AU once every 3 years and 10 months (1,407 days; semi-major axis of 2.46 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.08 and an inclination of 6° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins at Palomar on 19 September 1973, ten days after its official discovery observation.

Palomar–Leiden Trojan survey
The survey designation "T-2" stands for the second Palomar–Leiden Trojan survey, named after the fruitful collaboration of the Palomar and Leiden Observatory during the 1960s and 1970s. Gehrels used Palomar's Samuel Oschin telescope (also known as the 48-inch Schmidt Telescope), and shipped the photographic plates to Ingrid and Cornelis van Houten at Leiden Observatory where astrometry was carried out. The trio are credited with the discovery of several thousand asteroid discoveries.

Physical characteristics
Fristephenson has an absolute magnitude of 15.1.

Some Enchanted Evening (The Simpsons)

"Some Enchanted Evening" is the thirteenth and final episode of the first season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It was originally broadcast on Fox in the United States on May 13, 1990. A family drama, it had a very long delayed release. Written by Matt Groening and Sam Simon and directed by David Silverman and Kent Butterworth, "Some Enchanted Evening" was the first episode produced for season one and was intended to air as the series premiere in fall 1989, but aired as the season one finale due to animation problems. The Christmas special "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" premiered in its place on December 17, 1989. It is the last episode to feature the original opening sequence starting from "Bart the Genius". In the episode, Homer and Marge go on a night out while leaving the children under the care of a diabolical babysitter named Ms. Lucille "Botz" Botzcowski.

Penny Marshall provided the voice of Ms. Botz. The episode features cultural references to such films as The Night of the Hunter and Psycho as well as a musical reference to A Star Is Born.

Since its initial broadcast, the episode has received mixed reviews. It acquired a Nielsen rating of 15.4 and was the highest-rated show on the Fox network the week it aired.

Plot
Marge is depressed that Homer takes her for granted, and phones Dr. Marvin Monroe's call-in therapy radio slot. Listening to the call at work, Homer feels bad when Marge reveals his name on the radio. After work, he visits Moe's Tavern, where Moe advises him to give Marge a rose and a box of chocolates. Marge's mood softens and Homer invites her to go dancing, dine at a fancy restaurant, and spend the night at a motel.

Marge and Homer hire Ms. Botz through a babysitting service to watch the kids. Botz puts Maggie to bed while Bart and Lisa watch The Happy Little Elves. While watching America's Most Armed and Dangerous on television, Bart and Lisa scream in horror when they realize that Botz is a wanted burglar, dubbed the 'Babysitter Bandit'. Realizing her cover is blown, she prevents them from escaping and calling for help. Botz ties up the kids and packs the family's possessions into her suitcases. Maggie wakes up, goes downstairs and finds Bart and Lisa; they try to get her attention, but she focuses on the happy little elves. As the video ends, Maggie attempts to watch it again, and Lisa tells her she can if she unties her and Bart. While Ms. Botz is still cleaning up, she sees that Maggie is out of her crib. Bart lures Ms. Botz into his room, and knocks her out with a baseball bat.

Realizing Botz cut the telephone line, the kids go to a local phone booth and call the producers of America's Most Armed and Dangerous. When Marge and Homer are unable to reach Ms. Botz by phone, they return home early to find her bound and gagged. Unaware she is a wanted criminal, Homer and Marge free her and pay her handsomely. She flees just as the kids arrive with the police and news reporters. Homer, thinking this is one of their naughty tricks, quickly grabs Bart, saying how he and Marge had untied her. However, reporters tell him that Ms. Botz is a wanted criminal. Realizing his blunder, he lies to the media, and thinking all that hard work was for nothing, Homer is embarrassed. When a television newscast identifies him as a 'local boob', Marge assures him he must be doing something right if he raised three children who can hogtie a stranger, making Homer feel better.

Production
Even though this episode aired as the last episode of the first season, it was the first episode in production and was intended to be the first episode to air from the half-hour show. The series is a spin-off from The Tracey Ullman Show in which the family already appeared in a series of animated one-minute shorts. The characters were already created, but had to be further developed in order to carry a half-hour show. The episode was therefore meant as an introduction to the characters. The Simpsons creator Matt Groening and writer/producer Sam Simon (of such television series as Cheers) wrote the script for the episode. Both Groening and Simon are credited with developing the series, along with executive producer James L. Brooks. The name "Ms. Botz" was based on a real person who had once babysat Groening.

The episode was first directed by Kent Butterworth. Klasky Csupo, the animation studio that produced the earlier Simpsons shorts, was in charge of the animation, with one exception. During the years of producing the shorts, everything was created in-house. As a budgetary consideration, production was subcontracted to South Korean animation studio AKOM. While character and background layout was done in Los Angeles, inbetweening, coloring and filming is done by the overseas studio. A debacle erupted when this episode, the first to return from Korea, was screened in front of the production staff at the Gracie Films bungalow. Brooks' initial reaction to the animation was "This is shit." Afterward the room almost cleared. A heated argument ensued between Brooks and Klasky-Csupo animation studio head Gábor Csupó, who denied there was anything wrong with the animation and suggested that the real problem was the quality of the show's writing.

The producers felt the animation did not exhibit a distinct style envisioned for the show. At the time, there were only a few choices for animation style; usually, animators would follow the styles of Disney, Warner Bros., or Hanna-Barbera. Disney and Warner Bros. cartoons tended to be set in pliable universes in which the characters and environments seemed to be made of rubber. By contrast, the showrunners wanted a realistic environment in which the characters and objects could not do anything that was not possible in the real world, but one example of AKOM's early work was their animation of doors with the rubber effect that they wanted to avoid. Meanwhile, Hanna-Barbera's style relied on exaggerated sound effects, which they did not want to use either.

The producers considered aborting the series if the next episode, "Bart the Genius", turned out as this episode, but fortunately it turned out to suffer only a few easily fixed problems. Afterward, they entreated Fox to postpone the series premiere for several months. The premiere then switched to "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" which had to be aired in December being a Christmas special. This ensured more time could be spent fixing the animation problems and rewriting much of this episode. Directorial retakes were handled by David Silverman, who already had considerable experience directing the shorts. Silverman estimates that about 70% of everything had to be redone. Most of these retakes consisted of changing the backgrounds. The result is an episode where the animation is uneven because it shifts between the early animation and the retakes. It is still possible to see the doors slam like they were made of rubber. The Fox censors wanted to replace the sentence "the blue thing with the things", which they believed to be too sexual. Due to the fledgling position of the Fox network, Brooks had obtained an unusual contractual provision that ensured the network could not interfere with the creative process by providing show notes, so the showrunners simply ignored the censors.

The episode featured several early character designs; Moe Szyslak has black hair in this episode, which was later changed to gray, while Barney Gumble has yellow hair, which was later changed to brown in order to differentiate the character's hair color from that of his skin. Because of the delayed broadcast, there are also a few continuity errors. Santa's Little Helper, for example, does not appear in this episode, despite being introduced in "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire". Hank Azaria was at the time credited as a guest star for portraying Maître d'. In this episode, Moe Szyslak was originally voiced by Christopher Collins, but when Hank Azaria came up with his version; they decided to have Hank Azaria replace Christopher Collins as the voice of Moe in all later appearances. Azaria became a regular cast member in the second season.

Ms. Botz's pursuit of Bart into the cellar is reminiscent of Robert Mitchum's pursuit of a young boy in the film The Night of the Hunter. Moe's Tavern plays "The Man That Got Away" from the 1954 remake of A Star Is Born directed by George Cukor and starring Judy Garland and James Mason. Before the episode aired, Ms. Botz voice-over Penny Marshall had worked with Brooks on some shows he made in the 1970s. This relationship included her being a regular cast member on Friends and Lovers and having three guest appearances on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Reception

In its original broadcast, "Some Enchanted Evening" finished 12th for the week in the Nielsen ratings with a rating of 15.4, being seen by approximately 14.2 million homes. The episode was the highest-rated show on Fox that week.

Since airing, the episode has received mixed reviews from television critics. The authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, said: "It's quite a shock to discover that this confident, fully rounded episode was the first to be made. The perfect template." Colin Jacobson at DVD Movie Guide said it was "a reasonably good episode" and added: "Still, it's an awkward piece and not one I enjoyed a great deal. To be sure, 'Evening' was generally entertaining, but it's nothing special." In a DVD review of the first season, David B. Grelck rated the episode a $1 1/2$ (of 5).

According to Al Jean, viewers thought this episode was the best episode of the first season after the season ended. However, in 2006, IGN named "The Crepes of Wrath" the best episode of the first season. Penny Marshall, who played Ms. Botz, ranked on AOL's list of their favorite 25 Simpsons guest stars.

Potrero metro station

Potrero metro station is a station of the Mexico City Metro built along Insurgentes Norte Avenue in the colonias (neighborhoods) of Capultitlan and Guadalupe Insurgentes, in Gustavo A. Madero, Mexico City. It is an at-grade station with one island platform served by Line 3 (the Olive Line) between Deportivo 18 de Marzo and La Raza stations. The station and its surrounding area are named this way because there used to be a hippodrome during the Porfiriato era (1876–1911) and its pictogram features the silhouette of a head of a horse behind a fence. The station was opened on 1 December 1979, on the first day of service between Indios Verdes and Hospital General metro stations.

In 2019, the station had an average daily ridership of 17,308 passengers, making it the 106th busiest station in the network and the third-least used in the line. The facilities are partially accessible to people with disabilities as it is equipped with access ramps.

MacRitchie Reservoir

MacRitchie Reservoir is Singapore's oldest reservoir. The reservoir was completed in 1868 by impounding water with an earth embankment, and was then known as the Impounding Reservoir or Thomson Reservoir.

History
Before the early 19th century, most of the main island of Singapore was covered with primary forest. Soon after the British established a settlement in Singapore in 1819 and commercial activity took root, there was a demand for fresh water. However, it was decades before the settlement's first fresh water supply was established.

James MacRitchie (26 September 1847 – 26 April 1895) was Municipal Engineer to the Singapore Municipal Commission from 1883 to 1895. An original ‘foreign talent’, MacRitchie began his engineering career in Scotland and worked in India, Japan and Brazil before Singapore. Among his many accomplishments as municipal engineer, he is best known for the upgrading and expansion of Singapore's first reservoir, known as the Impounding Reservoir, in 1891-94. The reservoir was renamed in his honour in 1922.

In 1927, a water treaty was signed with the Sultan of Johor and Singapore started receiving treated water from the Gunong Pulai water project Johor in 1930.

The construction of MacRitchie Reservoir brought deforestation around the area to a halt. The forest surrounding the reservoir has been protected as a water catchment reserve. The forested areas surrounding the other two reservoirs, Pierce Reservoir and Upper Seletar Reservoir (formerly Seletar Reservoir), were also protected when these reservoirs were developed.

During World War II, after the invading Japanese troops seized Bukit Timah from the defending British, the reservoir lay just beyond in their sights. Although it was successfully captured intact shortly after, the Japanese did not cut off the water supply from the reservoir, although slight damage to the reservoir's facilities like the pumping-stations meant much water was lost instead of being channelled to the city, by then crowded with almost one million British-commanded troops and refugees, which was badly in need for a steady water source. After the British surrender and the subsequent Japanese occupation of Singapore, the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) built a Shinto shrine, Syonan Jinja, in the middle of the dense forest surrounding MacRitchie Reservoir. When the British forces re-occupied Singapore in 1945, the shrine was destroyed either by British soldiers, or by the Japanese themselves. Its ruins remain to this day but it is located in a restricted-access nature reserve and visitors are asked not to try to reach it largely due to safety reasons. The National Heritage Board declared the site a Historic Site in 2002, although no plans have been made public to develop or to protect the site.

Present
More than one square kilometre of primary forest is still standing in Central Catchment Nature Reserve today, particularly around MacRitchie Reservoir. Forest trees, remnants of the plantations from the 20th century, can still be seen along the fringes of MacRitchie Reservoir.

There are boardwalks skirting the edge of the scenic MacRitchie Reservoir and trails through the forest. They range in distances from 3 km to 11 km. Interpretative signboards along the boardwalks allow for a self-guided tour along the fringes of the MacRitchie forest.

The boardwalk around the perimeter of the MacRitchie Reservoir brings the visitor through interesting secondary forest in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve area. The boardwalk which hugs the reservoir also allows for easy exploration of freshwater wildlife. The ant plant (Macaranga bancana.) and pitcher plants are common in the area.

In addition to the boardwalk, another popular attraction is the HSBC TreeTop Walk, a 250 m aerial free-standing suspension bridge spanning Bukit Peirce and Bukit Kalang which are the two highest points in MacRitchie. The bridge was completed in July 2004, and the TreeTop Walk was officially launched on 5 November 2004. The structure, which is 25 m at its highest point, offers visitors a panoramic view of Upper Pierce Reservoir and the surrounding lush rainforest. Jelutong Tower also offers a view of the Singapore Island Country Club golf course and the MacRitchie Reservoir.

The 3.2 km and 4.8 km trails are still used as cross-country running routes for various inter-school competitions today.

Schools can be seen using the reservoir as a place for water sports such as canoeing and kayaking. There are certain competitions held there annually.

Square One Shopping Centre

Square One Shopping Centre, or simply Square One, is a shopping mall located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. It is the largest shopping centre in Ontario and the second largest shopping centre in Canada, after the West Edmonton Mall. It has over 2200000 sqft of retail space, with more than 360 stores and services. On average, the mall serves over 24 million customers each year. It operates on most holidays (the exceptions being Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Christmas Day), making it the only shopping mall in the city and one of the few in the Greater Toronto Area that does so.

Square One is located in downtown Mississauga adjacent to the interchange of Highway 403 and Hurontario Street, near the Mississauga Civic Centre, the Mississauga Living Arts Centre, and the Mississauga Central Library; and has many condominium towers surrounding it. Located adjacent to the mall is the City Centre Transit Terminal; the central hub of MiWay; Mississauga's municipal transit system, Square One Bus Terminal (serving regional GO Transit buses), and a Peel Regional Police community station.

History
Excavation of the Square One site began in 1969. Construction was finished in 1973, where the mall was first opened to the public. The four original anchors included Woolco, Sears at the time Simpson-Sears, The Bay, and Dominion.

Some stores such as Ashbrook's and Mark & Spencer's were closed in the late 1990s order to make way for the Cityside expansion, which was completed in the early 2000s.

In 1999, Eaton's filed for bankruptcy, closing their location at Square One. Zellers took over the space in 2000.

During January 2011, Target acquired the leases of most Zellers stores, including their location at Square One. Zellers closed in June 2012 and the store was renovated into a Target, which opened to the public on March 30, 2013.

In January 2013, Square One started a major renovation on the main corridor from the Target store to the centre court/food court. Burger King and Bowring were forced to close down due to the expansion of the food court across from the existing food court. The scenic elevator, along with the fountain, were removed and replaced with two escalators. This renovation was completed in Fall 2013. Square One also expanded by adding its concept, Grand Centre Court, which added at least (220000 sqft) square feet extra.

Sears Canada announced on June 14, 2013 that it would be closing its store at Square One and Yorkdale as of March 9, 2014. On June 27, Empire Theatres announced that they would be selling their theatre at Square One to Landmark Cinemas, which closed one year later.

It was announced on December 6, 2013 that La Maison Simons would take over most of the space occupied by Sears, with a flagship store which opened in Spring 2016.

In January 2015, Target Canada announced that it would close all their stores, including their location at Square One. Target's location at Square One closed in April 2015.

The South Expansion was completed on March 1, 2016 adding numerous retailers and a Holt Renfrew anchor store, along with removing the Dollarama and Home Outfitters stores.

In June 2018, Square One announced the West Expansion, which took place in the former Target location that closed in 2015. The expansion opened between Fall 2018 and Spring 2019 and added several brands like Uniqlo and The Rec Room, as well as a 34,000 sq. ft. local food emporium, The Food District.

The Uniqlo at Square One opened on November 2, 2018.

Chapters closed in January 2019 and reopened as Indigo in the West Expansion in February 2019.

Square One has had many anchor stores throughout its history:

Current

 * Holt Renfrew (2016-present)
 * Hudson's Bay (1973-present)
 * Simons (2016-present, formerly Sears)
 * Sport Chek (2016-present, formerly Sears)

Granville Leveson-Gower, 1st Marquess of Stafford

Granville Leveson-Gower, 1st Marquess of Stafford, KG PC (4 August 1721 – 26 October 1803), known as Viscount Trentham from 1746 to 1754 and as The Earl Gower from 1754 to 1786, was a British politician from the Leveson-Gower family. Sitting in the House of Lords, he spent a quarter of a century in the Cabinet.

Background
Stafford was a son of John Leveson-Gower, 1st Earl Gower (1694–1754) and his wife Lady Evelyn Pierrepont. His maternal grandparents were Evelyn Pierrepont, 1st Duke of Kingston-upon-Hull and his first wife Lady Mary Feilding. Mary was a daughter of William Feilding, 3rd Earl of Denbigh and his wife Mary King. His father was a prominent Tory politician who became the first major Tory to enter government since the succession of George I of Great Britain, joining the administration of John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville in 1742. Gower was educated at Westminster School and Christ Church, Oxford.

Political and industrial investment career
Stafford was elected to Parliament in 1744.

With the death of his elder brother in 1746, he became known by the courtesy title of Viscount Trentham until he succeeded his father as Earl Gower in 1754. He built the earlier Lilleshall Hall, converting a 17th-century house located in the village of Lilleshall into a country residence around the late 1750s.

Stafford was associated with the faction of John Russell, 4th Duke of Bedford, who was his brother-in-law, and as a member of that faction, called the "Bloomsbury Gang", was given many governmental positions. Following Bedford's death in 1771, Gower became leader of the group, and as Lord President of the Council in the administration of Frederick North, Lord North, he was a key supporter of a hard-line policy towards the American colonists. Between 1775 and 1778, Stafford proceeded to make substantial alterations to his home at Trentham Hall based on the designs by Henry Holland.

By 1779, Gower resigned from the cabinet being frustrated by what he saw as the North administration's inept handling of the American Revolutionary War. When North resigned in March 1782, Gower was approached to form a ministry, but he refused, and he refused subsequent overtures from both Lord Shelburne and the Fox-North coalition to enter the government. Instead, he became a key figure in bringing about the fall of the Fox-North coalition, and was rewarded with the position of Lord President once again in the new administration of William Pitt the Younger. Although he soon exchanged this office for that of Lord Privy Seal, and gradually began to withdraw from public affairs, he remained a cabinet minister until his retirement later in 1794. In 1786, he was created Marquess of Stafford as a reward for his services. He was elected Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries (FSA) on 28 April 1784.

In 1799 he (or his immediate family benefit trust) was estimated the fifth-wealthiest small family unit in Britain, owning £2.1 million (equivalent to £ million in )), having assets in land, mining and arterial canal-toll rights having speculatively invested in the latter projects, much of which was in Staffordshire's Black Country.

He died at Trentham Hall, Staffordshire, on 26 October 1803. He was the last surviving member of the Bloomsbury Gang.

Marriages and children
Stafford married three times. He married firstly Elizabeth Fazakerley, daughter of Nicholas Fazakerley with a dowry of £16,000 on 23 December 1744. She died on 19 May 1745 of smallpox. They had no children. Stafford married secondly Lady Louisa Egerton, daughter of Scroop Egerton, 1st Duke of Bridgewater, in 1748. She died in 1761. They were parents to four children:
 * Lady Louisa Leveson-Gower (22 Oct 1749-29 July 1827). She married Sir Archibald MacDonald, 1st Baronet.
 * Lady Margaret Caroline Leveson-Gower (02 Nov 1753-27 January 1824). She married Frederick Howard, 5th Earl of Carlisle and was the mother of George Howard, 6th Earl of Carlisle.
 * George Leveson-Gower, 1st Duke of Sutherland (9 January 1758 – 19 July 1833).
 * Lady Anne Leveson-Gower (22 Feb 1761-16 November 1832). She married the Right Reverend the Hon. Edward Venables-Vernon-Harcourt, Archbishop of York.

Stafford married thirdly Lady Susanna Stewart, daughter of Alexander Stewart, 6th Earl of Galloway, 23 May 1768. They were parents to four children: When Lord Stafford died at the age of 82, he was succeeded in his titles by his eldest son George from his second marriage who was created Duke of Sutherland in 1833. The Marchioness of Stafford died in August 1805.
 * Lady Georgiana Augusta Leveson-Gower (13 Apr 1769 – 24 March 1806). She married William Eliot, 2nd Earl of St Germans.
 * Lady Charlotte Sophia Leveson-Gower (11 Feb 1771; christened 12 Feb 1771 St Martin in the Fields, Westminster – 12 August 1854). She married Henry Somerset, 6th Duke of Beaufort and was mother of Henry Somerset, 7th Duke of Beaufort and Lord Granville Somerset.
 * Lady Susanna Leveson-Gower (born Sep 1772; christened 15 Sep 1772 Trentham – 26 May 1838). She married Dudley Ryder, 1st Earl of Harrowby.
 * Granville Leveson-Gower, 1st Earl Granville (born 12 October 1773, christened 5 Nov 1773 Trentham – 8 January 1846).

Filofax

Filofax is a company based in the UK that produces a range of personal organiser wallets. The organisers are traditionally leather bound and have a six-ring loose-leaf binder system. The design originated at Lefax, a United States company from Philadelphia which was exporting products to the UK. The company also markets a range of personal leather goods and luggage under the "Filofax" brand.

Products
The name originates from an abbreviation of the phrase "file of facts". This name for the product was first coined when the UK company was founded in 1921. The popularity of the Filofax personal organiser grew enormously during the early 1980s due to its association with Yuppie culture, where it was regarded as a "must-have" accessory, in the days before electronic organisers.

A range of insert page formats are sold, including calendars, notesheets, password lists and a thin calculator.

Company
The company was known as Norman & Hill until the mid-1980s, when it renamed itself after its most popular product. For much of its life it was based in South Woodford, East London. In the early 1980s, it moved to nearby Barkingside, also in East London. It was bought by David Collischon. In the early 1990s it moved its offices back to London and subcontracted its warehouse operation to Crick in Northamptonshire. The company was acquired by Day Runner, Inc. in 1998. In 2001, Day Runner, Inc. sold Filofax.

Filofax is part of the UK-based Letts Group. In 2006, Phoenix Equity Partners led a secondary buyout of the business. The deal provided an exit for private equity firm Dunedin Capital Partners. In 2012, the company was acquired by HSGP Investments.

Best known for decades only for his exquisite cinematography in Artavazd Peleshian's black and white classic "The Seasons" (1975) and the world famous behind-the-scenes episodes of Sergei Parajanov's landmark film "Sayat Nova" (1968) -- Vardanov spent 20 years on KGB's blacklist for his debut documentary "Color of Armenian Soil" (1969).

This dark period of frequent unemployment and rejected screenplays was highlighted by only a few events which, under the circumstances, were remarkable: in 1973 Vardanov was named Cinematographer of the Year at the Sixth Annual USSR Film Festival; in 1979 he co-wrote, supervised and lensed Gennadi Melkonian's debut "The Mulberry Tree" (Shelkovitsa) which became one of the most popular Soviet comedies; and in March of 1986 Vardanov's work appeared on the pages of the prestigious Cahiers du Cinéma in Paris.

In 1987 and 1989 Vardanov completed the first 2 films of the anti-KGB trilogy "Erased Faces" (1987) and Minas: Rekviem (1989). In 1992 his poetic masterpiece, the influential documentary "Parajanov: The Last Spring" (1992) received the county's highest honor, Russian Academy of Cinema Arts Award, then screened to standing ovations of tearful audiences worldwide. After garnering the praise of the critics, also such legends as Allen Ginsberg and Tonino Guerra, and top awards in San Francisco and Beverly Hills, Mikhail Vardanov disappeared in Hollywood where he conducts cinematography and photography experiments.

After graduating from teacher-training college and entering politics, he served as the mayor of his hometown and as a local deputy in the Congress of Colima. He was selected as the PRI's candidate in the 2003 gubernatorial election and, after heated disputes and the annulment of the first round, he was declared the victor and began his term as Governor on January 1, 2004.

Governor
Vázquez Montes triumphed in the elections held on July 6, 2003, obtaining the majority of votes cast, compared to his opponent, the PAN candidate. However, regular elections were nullified by the Electoral Court of the Judicial Power of the Federation stating illegal intervention in the same of Governor Fernando Moreno Peña. Vázquez Montes was again nominated as the PRI candidate for governor in a special election that was necessary to convene. Vázquez Montes won again, again getting most of the votes cast. Vázquez Montes assumed the governorship on January 1, 2004, to conclude the period ending October 31, 2009.

Death
On February 24, 2005, while traveling to Colima City from Mexico City, his six-seater Westwind 1124 aeroplane developed problems shortly after its 16h15 take-off from Toluca airport and crashed in the municipality of Tzitzio, Michoacán, 70 km to the southeast of Morelia. The governor was killed, along with the pilot, Captain Mario Torres González, and copilot, Captain Germán Ascencio Fauvet; the Colima state secretaries of tourism and finance, Roberto Preciado Cuevas and Luis Ramón Barreda Cedillo; the state's tourism director, Guillermo Díaz Zamorano; and local Coparmex president Alejandro Dávila.

Kelly Scott

Kelly Scott (born June 1, 1977 in Winnipeg, Manitoba as Kelly Lynn Mackenzie) is a Canadian curler from Kelowna, British Columbia.

1995–2005
Scott won the 1995 Canadian Junior Curling Championships and the 1995 World Junior Curling Championships when she curled out of Manitoba. She was also runner up at the 1991 Canadian Junior Curling Championships when she played lead for Jill Staub. Scott moved to British Columbia with her family in the late 1990s. In 2005, she won her first BC Tournament of Hearts, defeating Patti Knezevic 7–6 in the final, winning in extra ends. This qualified Scott to represent British Columbia at the 2005 Scott Tournament of Hearts, where she finished second in the round-robin, but lost both of her playoff games.

2005–2011
The Scott team participated at the 2005 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials, where they finished in first place in round robin with a 7–2 record. They faced Shannon Kleibrink in the final, and leading 7–5 after nine ends, gave up three in the tenth, losing the Olympic bid to Kleibrink.

In March 2006, Scott won the 2006 Scott Tournament of Hearts. After leading the round robin with a 9–2 record, she beat Colleen Jones in the semi-final and then beat defending champion Jennifer Jones in the final with an 8–6 win. The Scott team went on to the 2006 Ford World Women's Curling Championship in Grande Prairie, Alberta where her team won the bronze medal.

At the 2006 Players' Championships, Scott scored a rare "eight-ender" in one of her games against Cathy King.

Scott defended her title at the 2007 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, defeating Jan Betker's Saskatchewan team in the final. Later, she won the 2007 World Women's Curling Championship, defeating Denmark's team of Angelina Jensen 8–4 in final. Scott became the first female skip to win a gold medal at both a World Junior Championship and a World Championship.

Scott works at Nutri-Lawn, which is owned by her parents, as a Financial Officer. In summer 2006, Kelly Scott quit her job with the city of Kelowna due to the heavy pressure of the competitive curling season.

She is married to Chad Scott.

In 2009, Kelly Scott's team failed to represent B.C. at the Tournament of Hearts for the since time since 2004. This, coupled with a disappointing finish in the CTRS standings, prompted the team to remove Renee Simons from the team.

Scott and the team competed in the 2009 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials; however, they finished round robin in last place, with a 1–6 record.

At the 2010 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Scott lost in the 3vs4 Page playoff game to Ontario's Krista McCarville.

For the second straight year at the British Columbia Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Scott defeated Kelley Law in the final to win the provincial championship. At the 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Scott and team finished the round robin with a 7–4 record which found them in a tie-breaker, where they were defeated by Nova Scotia's Heather Smith-Dacey.

2011–2016
For the 2011-2012 season, Scott's longtime third, Jeanna Schraeder left the team due to a pregnancy and to focus on family. Schraeder was replaced with three time British Columbia Junior Champion Dailene Sivertson. Together the team would defeat Marla Mallett at the 2012 British Columbia Scotties Tournament of Hearts, earning the right to represent the province at the 2012 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The team would find difficulties with illness and lineup changes, but also found success at the event. They would finish round robin with an 8-3 record, which was enough to secure a second-place finish, and earned a spot in the 1-2 game against Manitoba's Jennifer Jones. The team would defeat Jones in the 1-2 game 7-5 advancing to the final.

Schraeder re-joined the team for the 2012-13 season at the third position, replacing Sivertson who moved to Saskatchewan to play lead for Amber Holland. The team also welcomed the addition of Sarah Wazney at the lead position, who replaced Jacquie Armstrong at lead, who became the team's alternate. The team won another provincial title, defeating Patti Knezevic in the final of the 2013 British Columbia Scotties Tournament of Hearts. At the 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts Scott led her team to a bronze medal finish.

At the 2014 British Columbia Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Scott lost in the final to Kesa Van Osch. After the season, her team broke up, and she formed a new team with Shannon Aleksic, Karla Thompson and Sarah Pyke. At the 2015 British Columbia Scotties Tournament of Hearts, she lost in the semifinal. After the season Jenna Loder replaced Thompson on the team. Thompson formed her own rink, and would go on to beat Scott in the 2016 British Columbia Scotties Tournament of Hearts final. Scott has not curled competitively since then.

2003 Colima state election

An election for governor was held in the Mexican state of Colima on 6 July 2003, simultaneously with federal congressional midterm elections. Gustavo Vázquez Montes of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) was initially declared the winner, with 83,995 votes; second place went to the National Action Party (PAN) with 69,180, with the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) in third place with 32,042. Following accusations of irregularities, the gubernatorial result was declared void by the state electoral authorities and an extraordinary election was held on December 7, 2003. Meanwhile, Carlos Flores Dueñas of the PRI served as interim governor.

Two candidates stood in the extraordinary election: Gustavo Vázquez Montes, representing an alliance of the PRI, Labour Party (PT), and Green Ecological Party of Mexico (PVEM), and Antonio Morales de la Peña of the PAN standing as the Alianza Todos por Colima candidate (an unusual combination of PAN and PRD, and the local ADC party). The state electoral institute declared Vázquez Montes the winner and he was sworn in on January 1, 2004.

Barely 14 months into his gubernatorial term, however, Vázquez Montes was killed in an airplane accident over Michoacán on February 24, 2005. Arnoldo Ochoa González of the PRI was appointed acting governor; a fresh election was held on April 10, 2005, with Silverio Cavazos – the victor in that contest, representing a PRI/PVEM/PT alliance – to be sworn in on May 5.

Mueang Sing Historical Park

Mueang Sing (เมืองสิงห์, ) is a historical park in Sai Yok District, Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand. It protects the remains of two Khmer temples dating to the 13th and 14th centuries. It was declared a historical park in 1987.

History
The history of the site goes back to the period between 857 and 1157, a period when the Khmer Kingdom was flourishing. Records show that the town was abandoned until the reign of King Rama I. The name Mueang Sing first showed in the chronicles of the reign of King Rama I (1782-1809), when it was a fortified town protecting the town Kanchanaburi. In the reform of provincial administration at the end of the 19th century its status was reduced from Mueang to Tambon (commune).

Architecture
Built in the Bayon-style, the temples date to the Khmer kingdom in the reign of King Jayavarman VII (1180 to 1219). A stone inscription of Prince Vira Kumara praising his father, 23 cities are named. One of these cities was named Srichaiya Singhapura, which some scholars identify with Mueang Sing.

Four monuments are located inside the area of 736,000 m2 enclosed by a laterite wall. The south wall winds along the Khwae Noi river course, while the other three sides are quadratic. The main monument is in the center of the area. Northwest of this are the foundations of a second temple building. The other two monuments are of much smaller scale.

Talk:Ascariasis

Could be
Could be the ascariasis make typhoid fever?
 * Typhoid fever is caused by a bacterium, not a worm. See typhoid fever. Dave (talk)

Merger
I am seriously against merging this article with the article about the pathogen which causes this disease. A disease and a pathogen are distinct things, and should be treated as such, as is the standard for other infectious disease articles. OcciMoron 17:01, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

A Disease of?...
I redirected here from Large roundworm of pigs which said that "Ascaris suum is a parasitic nematode that causes Ascariasis in pigs" - meanwhile the top of This page says "Ascariasis is a human disease"...

Clarification? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.71.82.44 (talk) 12:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Agree.88.230.22.89 (talk) 06:12, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Ascaris Lumb. is Human parasites. Ascaris Suum is Swine parasites.88.232.147.199 (talk) 18:41, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Rather show the life cycle image as lead image and not the Ascaris photo as lead image?
I don't think it makes sense to use the same Ascaris photo on this page and also on the Ascaris page. If this page is meant to be about the disease then I would either show a disease photo (photo inside of the human body for example) or the life cycle image (which is currently futher down). The same will apply to the other pages on helminths. I actually think the life cycle image should in each case appear on both pages: the page about the organism (this is the organism's way of life) and on the page of the disease (this is how it infects humans). Do others agree? EvM-Susana (talk) 12:36, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
 * No strong position about the lead image. Image of the worm can go lower if you wish. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 18:17, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
 * So we concluded to put a life cycle schematic on both pages (i.e. on the organism page and the disease page) but to use two different representations where we have them available: one from CDC and one from Catarina in Mexico (UNAM). EvM-Susana (talk) 23:28, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
 * We should have the image in the infobox. And typically we just have one image in the lead. Have thus moved the other down. The caption is a little long for the life cycle. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 09:27, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I thought we had agreed to have a different image in the lead for Ascariasis compared to Ascaris? Have henced replaced the image. The larva and egg is much more characteristic for the disease (the adult worm cannot multiply in the human body)EvM-Susana (talk) 22:16, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * But why delete that image altogether? Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 04:55, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

I deleted it because in my opinion we should not repeat the same image on the organism page and on the disease page. I have an alternative image of Ascaris which I could upload and replace that one with. For a disease that is affecting 2-3 billion people (helminthiasis), we have a disappointingly low number of photos of the organism and of the damage that it causes in people's bodies! I think more and different photos would help to attract more attention to this problem. EvM-Susana (talk) 13:50, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes as we have such a poor number of photos of many conditions we often use the same images across both pages. If you have another equally good image of the organism happy to use it here or the other page :-) Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 03:36, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, done. Replaced it with a photo from Mexico. EvM-Susana (talk) 09:28, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Proposal to remove two pieces from the US
I am suggesting to remove this sentence (or indicate that a reference is needed) (I don't know how to do this): One study indicated that the prevalence of ascariasis in the United States at about 4 million (2%).

And I suggest to remove this as it's an isolated incidence and basically irrelevant:

''Society and culture[edit source | editbeta] In Canada in 1970, a postgraduate student tainted his roommates' food with Ascaris suum. Four of the people became seriously ill; two of these had acute respiratory failure.[29]''
 * Sure Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 06:09, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Done.
 * Thanks :-) Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 10:16, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Chased down the 2% infection in the US citation, it appears to be this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2011640 However, the study is quite dated at this point (over 25 years) and is unlikely to be accurate on the subject of infection now.  I've removed the line entirely. 38.84.37.162 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 14:52, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Moved information to here from the organism article Ascaris lumbricoides
I have just moved information to here from the organism article Ascaris lumbricoides. Now we still need to check if this has introduced repetition. I don't understand why people working on the organism page keep insisting that it should include information on diagnosis and treatment which are clearly medical topics and not "microbiology topics", see talk page of Ascaris lumbricoides. Why would people be keen to double up the information on two pages? EvMsmile (talk) 01:10, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Mostly repeated. Also we do not give medication doses so I have removed it. Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 13:09, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Alternative Medicine
Wanted to get some input on this... The "Alternative Medicine" section makes statements regarding the effectiveness of unproven treatments; at least that's how it seems. Can anyone provide solid evidence of these statements? If there is proof, the treatments are no longer (or shouldn't be, anyway) "alternative". If not, I'd suggest they be removed or modified to emphasize the lack of proof. Mostly because the information is incorrect; but moreover, I don't want someone affected by this to see it and delay proper treatment. Thanks Shamalamadingdomg (talk) 10:48, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Santonin seems to be an obsolete treatment, not alternative in the sense it's normally understood. It may well be effective but it has serious side effects, which are not exhibited by current treatments. Pchown (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

 * I agree with you, User:Shamalamadingdomg. I have changed the title of that section, but I don't understand why it is separated from the other medicines. Is it because they are not recommended by WHO? All three have the same reference (some text book), perhaps obsolete? Then we should say "formerly used medications"??. Another consideration is weather this should be moved to the article about helminthasis perhaps, unless it is specific for Ascariasis? EMsmile (talk) 19:56, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

term: infestation instead of infection
Should the term "infestation" be used instead of "infection" ? - 85.233.9.44 05:21, 27 September 2021
 * I (weakly) agree. Technically that should be the term in all cases of a multicellular parasite, if I'm remembering correctly. However it's common to say it the wrong way even in professional contexts in my experience. You can change it but I don't care enough to bother. Invasive Spices (talk) 21:59, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

An X-ray as the lead image?
Not sure that the current X-ray image, interesting as it is when studied closely, "works" as a lead image, not least because when it pops up over a wikilink to this page, it appears as a small blurry incomprehensible smudge. I'd suggest swapping it out for one of the other images in the article, say the first image in the main text. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:42, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sick Monster Body

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was DELETE. jni 15:32, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Sick Monster Body
This appears to be a term used only by a tiny group of people, and thus I believe it falls below the notability threshhold for inclusion in wikipedia. Perhaps it is more suited to one of the internet's numerous urban dictionary websites. I think this article should consequently be deleted from wikipedia. -- John Fader 23:01, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC) This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'.
