Talk:Intellectual giftedness

Journal of Intelligence — Open Access Journal
Journal of Intelligence — Open Access Journal is a new, open-access, "peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original empirical and theoretical articles, state-of-the-art articles and critical reviews, case studies, original short notes, commentaries" intended to be "an open access journal that moves forward the study of human intelligence: the basis and development of intelligence, its nature in terms of structure and processes, and its correlates and consequences, also including the measurement and modeling of intelligence." The content of the first issue is posted, and includes interesting review articles, one by Earl Hunt and Susanne M. Jaeggi and one by Wendy Johnson. The editorial board of this new journal should be able to draw in a steady stream of good article submissions. It looks like the journal aims to continue to publish review articles of the kind that would meet Wikipedia guidelines for articles on medical topics, an appropriate source guideline to apply to Wikipedia articles about intelligence. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 21:35, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

 * The Journal of Intelligence — Open Access Journal website has just been updated with the new articles for the latest edition of the journal, by eminent scholars on human intelligence. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 21:27, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Persistence of Trait(s) in Adult Life
I'll start off by saying that I'm not an experienced Wikipedia editor, so my apologies for any mistakes. Anyway, I have a problem with the following sentence: "It is thought to persist as a trait into adult life...". I changed this to "It persists as a trait into adult life...". But it was reverted, and I'm curious as to why?

-I noticed the 'minor edit' the moment I clicked 'save page'... Had I used that option, would the edit have been okay?

-Or are you suggesting with this revert that IG people might suddenly lose all the corresponding traits when they reach adulthood? If not, it makes no sense not to use my edit.

 * Mr Gerbz, cf WP:Weasel Lycurgus (talk) 06:58, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Unaddressed tagging
The article does in fact have a US focus, one solution for which would be to move it to Intellectual giftedness (United States). As it's not addressed in 2.6 y and to some extent it is only or at least more of a problem in the US, a lede redact pointing that out is indicated instead. Pending comment and delineation of the other human cultures with strong anti-intellectual bias will perform same, address tagging. Lycurgus (talk) 06:54, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

 * You should have a source for saying that this is primarily a United States problem. What's really going on in editing here is that people aren't using the many sources available (in English, in the United States) with an international perspective on this issue. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 14:19, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

 * I was not saying that, or not primarily that, just putting the article in context, a simple editorial move as a) in fact the problem, while universal does have a specific import in US culture which for example it would not have in Chinese culture, and b) it's unlikely anyone is going to come in any time soon and address the issue as it exists in other societies / rework content in existing articles to that end. Suggest you restore at least the scoping part of the removed sentence. 谢 谢 Lycurgus (talk) 18:39, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

 * 沒問題. I'll work on fixing the article to internationalize it along the lines long called for by the tag. There is plenty of published literature, quite a bit of which I have in my office, for helping this article reflect the entire world and especially the entire English-speaking world. That's what I've been doing for the last few hours during this weekend's Edit-a-thon. Other editors who are looking on and who have sources at hand are of course welcome to join the fun. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 20:15, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Neurobiology of giftedness
This article talks a lot about giftedness from a psychological aspect, but recent studies have shown that there is an important neurobiological aspect to it - the brain develops differently from youth and works differently during the whole life. For good reads on the subject, "Neurobiology of giftedness" by John G. Geake and "International Handbook on Giftedness" (collective work) are both very interesting and show the recent developments on the matter of giftedness - we may soon be able to determine giftedness from a physical point of view (fMRIs have shown how the brain differs in its working and in the amount of brain grey and white matter) instead of a statistical one like the IQ. I'd like to start a discussion on this topic to improve this article and add more recent research results in it; since this is my first time posting on wikipedia, I thought it was wiser to start here, in the talk page, to try and make this article evolve with our understanding of giftedness. After this, when I have time, I'll try to post summarized information of different articles and researches on the subject, in hope we can elaborate a coherent section on this subject. Marc-Olivier D. (talk) 04:24, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Well, since no one seems to have a strong opinion on the subject, I'll slowly start to add to the page with content about the neurobiological aspect of giftedness - if you have any comment on my changes, if you think you can reformulate better or anything else, feel free to post here! --Marc-Olivier D. (talk) 01:50, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

I’m practicly laughing my head of reading about making extra investments foor ‘colored’ (As in non-white) gifted students. In the so called United States of America there is not even a sincere effort being made to provide enough recources for BASIC education. I’m located at the other side of the Atlantic ocean an I am appalled at what is being displayed on the newschannels. It’s nice and all to talk about “stereotype stress” and other pretty concepts. The real causes are plane & simple : NO MONY, acute leadpoisoning and don’t forget the occaisonal chockehold, young girls being sprayed with mace in the face at a peaceful demonstration. 2 put it in another was even whether you call something excrement or feces it still stinks!!Annoyed.negro (talk) 21:51, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Really messed up the editing, no idea how to get back the original.
Hi everyone, as you can see from the title of this section, I was trying to add one tiny "citation needed" tag and the ENTIRE page got messed up. Like, entire sections were deleted. I've been trying everything I can to get it back to how it was before I made that edit, but doing so has been extremely difficult, borderline impossible. So much hard work was put into the latest version of this page (before I screwed it up), and I really hope an admin can restore the original version. I'm really sorry for this. If there's anything I can do to help (aside from NOT editing a page ever again), please do let me know. PureMelodrama (talk) 06:22, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

 * I fixed it (before seeing your note here). For future reference on how to do such a restore of an old version, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Reverting#Manual_reverting 2A02:A44E:8DBD:1:4261:86FF:FE2B:DF67 (talk) 19:19, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Very fine work with the history. Keep it up on Wiki. Any questions, ask me.

However, don't mark edits as "minor" unless they are minor. Adding content to a page is not minor. --Fred-Chess 12:35, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sprincklew. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sprincklew~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:09, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

NTV7

'''Natseven TV Sdn. Bhd., operating as NTV7''' is a Malaysian free-to-air television channel owned by Media Prima Berhad. The third private commercial TV station in Malaysia, the network focused on the urban area with various types of programmes, dramas and news. As of October 2021, NTV7 is now become the second most-watched television station in Malaysia with about 15% of its viewing share, together with TV9, despite the declining viewership of 2 free-to-air television channels.

Establishment, as part of Media Prima and early history (1998–2018)
The Sarawak company Nasional Televisyen (NTV), from Kuching, was given the green light from the Malaysian government on 5 June 1996. Under the conditions, the station would broadcast nationwide, 18 hours a day in various languages, with a minimum quota of 60% for national content. The station was owned by Mohd Effendi Norwawi's company Kenyalang Jasa Sdn Bhd. Encorp Group, another company that also owned by Effendi, holds 60% of equity interest in NTV. It planned to launch on 31 August 1997, but postponed to 25 December 1997.

Prior to NTV7's launching, the channel launches its official website in March 1998.

The channel was launched on 7 April 1998 under the entity of Natseven TV Sdn Bhd by businessman Mohd Effendi Norwawi, broadcasting daily from 6 am to 1 am the next day. Its launching ceremony was officiated by the then-fourth Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad on 22 May 1998. At the time of its establishment, its headquarters was located at Hicom-Glenmarie Industrial Park in Shah Alam, Selangor. It also had a studio in Kuching, Sarawak. Its first day started with the then-prime minister attending a prayer service for Eid ul-Adha prayers at a mosque in the state of Kedah. NTV7 at launch employed a staff of 250 people, with broadcast centres at Shah Alam in Selangor and had a transmitting network of ten stations, reaching peninsular Malaysia and the cities of Kuching in Sarawak and Kota Kinabalu in Sabah. There were already plans outlined for the station to go national "within a year". The slogan "Feel Good with NTV7" had the aim of creating "a happy and more enlightened" Malaysia. For years, the channel started and ended with the James Brown song I Feel Good, which became a part of NTV7's branding.

In 2001, NTV7 began using a variation of the Circle 7 logo used by the American broadcast network ABC for its several owned-and-operated and affiliated stations; the logo would stay in use until 2018.

On 19 January 2003, NTV7 aired a special tribute to the nation's longest serving Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad at 8pm.

In 2004, NTV7 was restructured to make the motorsports events as its key revenue generator.

In 2005, NTV7 planned to be listed on the main market of Bursa Malaysia, but it would said that it "depends on the nation's media industry's current situation".

In May 2005, NTV7 in collaboration with telecommunications company, Celcom to air 24 hour news and current affairs on internet under the My News Network banner. NTV7 announced that it would begin the operations of the first Studio in the City in Galeri Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur by the year-end.

In October the same year, Media Prima Berhad announced its acquisition of NTV7 under a price of RM90 million, effectively making the latter one of its subsidiaries. As a result, it operates from Sri Pentas, Petaling Jaya from that year onward along with three other private television channels in Malaysia: TV3, 8TV and TV9.

In its early history, the channel offered a wide variety of programming which targets the Malaysian urban demographic including drama, comedy, entertainment, game shows, children's programmes, anime, documentaries and movies. There were also news bulletins in English, Mandarin and Malay through the 7 Edition, Mandarin 7, and Edisi 7 brands, respectively.

In December 2005, NTV7 has completed the implementation of voluntary separation scheme (VSS) on its 338 staffs who receives the scheme.

In 2006, NTV7 collaborated with Singapore media company Mediacorp to produce Chinese language programmes. It also said that it would produce local content as a preparation to exploring the export market in the future. It also projected its financial performances and intended to be debt-free.

The channel dominates 25% of television advertising market in March 2007.

On 6 September 2007, NTV7 along with its sister channels, TV3, 8TV and TV9 made available for online viewing via Media Prima's newly-launched streaming service, Catch-Up TV, which later rebranded as Tonton. At the same time, NTV7 announced that it would spend RM40 million to strengthening its operation and gaining a stronger viewership by 2008.

In 2009, NTV7 recorded highest viewership rating from 800,000 up to 1 million viewers, mostly its Chinese viewers, per day. It also collaborated with the Branding Association of Malaysia to held the branding workshop called "Be Branded, Be Seen' to help the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) to strengthening their brands through media.

In the third quarter of 2013, NTV7 recorded its viewership ratings through the two programmes aired – The Undercover and The Game 2.

Introduction of home shopping block (2016–2021)
On 1 April 2016, a teleshopping block bought by the Korean conglomerate CJ Group through subsidiary CJ E&M Co Ltd called CJ WOW Shop (now Wow Shop) was broadcasting across Media Prima channels. Several Media Prima channels (especially NTV7 and TV9) were more affected by the changes. It attracted public criticism on social media as a large part of the daytime schedule was replaced by the block, in which these slots had been previously dedicated to reruns, religious programming and kids programming.

On 1 November 2020, CJ Wow Shop was rebranded into Wow Shop after Media Prima bought the remaining 49% stake in the teleshopping network previously held by CJ Group.

Modern Malaysia era (2018)
From 5 March 2018, Media Prima attempted a new brand positioning for NTV7. The channel tried to target "Modern Malaysia" as a contemporary station through its new content line-up, including new Turkish Telenovelas; as well as its new slogan Feel It. The relaunch saw major changes as it became a dominated English-Malay language channel, with the channel name read as "n-t-v-tujuh" instead of "n-t-v-seven." Also, infomercial programming was reduced upon the channel's rebranding.

Chinese content reduction attempt
Upon the March 2018 rebranding, Chinese content on this channel was reduced to selected Chinese dramas from Hong Kong and China along with Mandarin news bulletins, with much of the remainder transferred to sister channel 8TV (which also attempted to reposition as Media Prima's sole all-Chinese channel on the same day). Originally, Mandarin 7 was supposed to be cancelled in May 2018 to complete its plan of moving all Chinese content to a single dedicated channel. However, when the 2018 General Election occurred, the bulletin became Malaysia's second-most watched after TV3's Buletin Utama (the said spot was formerly held by Berita TV9). Due to the Chinese community's positive response, Media Prima decided to reshuffle NTV7's news programming in June instead of axing Chinese news. In this format, only one news bulletin per language was aired on the channel with a single Mandarin newshour, while retaining half-hour editions in Malay and English.

Reverting to Chinese content (2018–2020)
The rebrand caused confusion among viewers, particularly Chinese communities who tuned in to NTV7 after finding out that most of its former programmes were moved to 8TV. Overall Chinese viewership was believed to be surprisingly lower.

As a result, on 31 December 2018, the former CEO of Media Prima Television Networks, Johan Ishak, said that the Mandarin variant of CJ Wow Shop would be broadcast on the channel and replace the Malay variant. The move was part of the company's restructuring NTV7 by axed English and Malay-language shows, dropped the channel nomenclature, moved some (including those from TV9) to the main TV3. It also brought back the channel's perception as a Chinese channel; yet the channel's Mandarin, Malay and English news bulletins remained unchanged.

Reruns of axed NTV7 shows were then aired on TV9 after the former's retreat while slogan "Feel it" was removed.

Mandarin 7 discontinuation (2020)
On 7 June 2020, Mandarin 7 aired its final edition and was merged into 8TV Mandarin News the following day. 8TV Mandarin News was also extended to one hour due to high ratings during the Movement Control Order (MCO) and COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia.

Programming change, Ministry of Education collaboration and takeover (2020–present)
On 1 November 2020, CEO (now former) of Media Prima Television Networks, Dato' Khairul Anwar Salleh announced that NTV7 would be targeted for ages 15–28 by focusing on magazines, information and current affairs programs to meet the public needs, while Korean dramas would stop airing and all Chinese programmes have finally been integrated to 8TV. Korean variety show Running Man remains on this channel along with homeshopping block Wow Shop.

On 18 November 2020, DidikTV@ntv7, an educational programming block was introduced by Ministry of Education from 23 November 2020 until 16 January 2021. It formerly ran from 9am to 12pm every Monday to Friday. It was later split into two timeslots (9am – 12pm and 3pm – 5pm) on 27 January 2021, resulting the educational programming to be aired daily.

DidikTV KPM
On 12 February 2021, as the Ministry of Education will have a one-year term with Media Prima, it was announced that NTV7 will be rebranded through a takeover as a fully educational TV channel known as DidikTV KPM starting 17 February; the new channel will focus on educational content based on SPM curriculum and co-curriculum. It would also provide news focused on education, edutainment programs, and content produced by the students. The channel will have 17 hours of airtime and will run daily from 7am to 12am.

On 16 February 2021, Media Prima confirmed that ntv7 will not be defunct and its ownership remains unchanged, while the current team will be focusing on DidikTV KPM. Following the closure, many of longtime NTV7 viewers bid farewell to the channel on their respective social media accounts.

Since the DidikTV KPM launch, the main newscasts Edisi 7 was ceased entirely in replacement with Buletin Didik while 7 Edition moved to digital platforms; though it was later discontinued in May due to DidikTV KPM slot. Homeshopping block Wow Shop was ceased from airing on the channel. Soal Drama and  Running Man were transferred to TV9 since 21 February 2021. Some of the original programming such as Trio On Point, Topik@7 (now Topik), Breakfast@9PM, Kail X and Jurnal Resipi will continue to air.

During the DidikTV@7 segment, the channel airs documentary, drama (weekends only), lifestyle, and cartoon programmes. Only certain programmes broadcast in Chinese language such as Let's Cycle (season 1) hosted by Rickman Chia and Baki Zainal.

From 15 to 30 September 2021, according to the viewership statistics from Media Prima Omnia, the viewership share for NTV7 has increased from 2% to 15%, making the channel become the second most-watched television station in Malaysia after TV3 (which the viewership share for TV3 is about 17%), together with TV9, which has the same viewership share of 15%.

Volvo B7TL

The Volvo B7TL is a low-floor double-decker bus chassis which was launched in 1999 and replaced the 2-axle version of the Volvo Olympian (its 3-axle version was replaced by the Volvo Super Olympian). It was built as the British bus operators seemed hesitant to purchase the B7L double decker with a long rear overhang (although some have since entered service in Glasgow, Scotland as 12 m long double deckers).

The B7TL chassis was designed by the Leyland Product Developments consultancy based at the Leyland Technical Centre. It was initially built in Irvine, North Ayrshire, Scotland. In 2000, production was gradually transferred to Sweden. In mid-2004, production of the MkII version of the B7TL was started.

Like the Olympian, the B7TL features a transversely-mounted rear engine and a shorter rear overhang, but the radiator was mounted on the right side of the engine compartment. It was equipped with Volvo D7C engine and ZF or Voith gearbox. The B7TL was initially available with Alexander ALX400 and Plaxton President bodywork, later followed by East Lancs Vyking and Myllennium Vyking bodies, and also the Wright Eclipse Gemini.

United Kingdom
The Volvo B7TL was highly popular in the United Kingdom, with a large number being purchased by most of the major bus groups such as FirstGroup and Arriva. Travel West Midlands, Travel Coventry and Travel Dundee, part of the National Express Group, purchased over 320 B7TLs from 2000 to 2006, a majority of these being built with Alexander ALX400 bodies, while 112 with Wright Eclipse Gemini bodies and 102 with Plaxton President bodies were also delivered. Translink of Northern Ireland also purchased over 150 B7TLs with Alexander ALX400 bodies for its Ulsterbus and Citybus operations between 2001 and 2006, with the first batch of 20 B7TLs delivered in 2001 marking the return of double-decker buses to Belfast for the first time since 1989.

The chassis was especially popular in London, with a total of 2,014 Volvo B7TLs being built for London's bus operators, most being bodied with Alexander ALX400, Plaxton President, East Lancs Vyking or Wright Eclipse Gemini bodywork. 790 B7TLs were built for Go-Ahead Group companies London General and London Central, while 378 for Arriva London, 308 for Metroline, 278 for First London and 148 for London United were also built. Transport for London noise regulations would put an end to B7TL orders in 2006, and the type was superseded in London by both the Volvo B9TL and the later Volvo B5LH.

Smaller orders from operators outside London include Lothian Buses, who ordered a total of 132 B7TLs, the first seven being delivered with Plaxton President bodywork in 2000, followed by 125 more being delivered with Wright bodies between 2005 and 2006. Arriva UK Bus also ordered small quantities of B7TLs for its operations outside London, including 20 with Alexander ALX400 bodywork and 20 with Plaxton President bodywork for Arriva Yorkshire delivered between 2000 and 2001, 49 ALX400s for Arriva Medway Towns in 2004 as part of Operation Overdrive, and 30 ALX400s for Arriva Merseyside in 2006.

East Yorkshire Motor Services ordered 36 B7TLs with Plaxton President bodywork from 2000 to 2003, six of these being delivered to their Manchester subsidiary Finglands Coachways, before later ordering 18 more B7TLs with Wright bodies from 2005 to 2006. Southern Vectis ordered seven Volvo B7TLs with Plaxton President bodywork at the end of 2001.

The last Volvo B7TLs entered service with First Glasgow with the Wright Eclipse Gemini bodywork in April 2007.

Ireland
Buses built on the B7TL chassis were also popular with Irish operators Dublin Bus purchasing 648 B7TLs built with Alexander ALX400 bodywork between 2000 and 2007, while Bus Éireann also purchased over twenty B7TLs with East Lancs Myllennium Vyking bodies for services in Cork between 2001 and 2004.

South Africa
150 Volvo B7TLs with Marcopolo Viale bodywork were delivered to Metrobus of Johannesburg, South Africa in 2002, alongside an order for 50 Marcopolo bodied Volvo B7R single deck buses. These were the first low-floor buses to enter service in South Africa as part of a major company modernisation scheme.

Rostock–Laage Airport

Rostock Airport, German: Flughafen Rostock-Laage, is the airport of Rostock, the largest city in the German state Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and is named after Laage, within the boundary of which it is located. Laage is a town in the Rostock district. It features flights to major cities throughout Germany as well as some leisure routes. In addition to civil activity, Jagdgeschwader 73 of the German Air Force is stationed on the military side of the airport.

Early years
Construction of the airport began in 1979 as a National People's Army facility. It became operational in 1984 with the Fighter Wing JBG 77 and the Navy Fighter Wing 28. It was deactivated by the Bundeswehr in 1990 and was reactivated in 1993 when Jagdgeschwader 73 was posted there. In the same year the Rostock-Laage-Güstrow GmbH begins civilian operations on a 60 hectare section of the airport.

Development since the 2000s
The airport was expected to post losses of €2.8 million for 2013 while the passenger numbers decreased by 12 percent in the same year. As the government of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is not willing to give additional financial aid, the airport operator may face bankruptcy in the near future. In October 2014, Rainer Schwarz, a former general manager of Berlin Brandenburg Airport was appointed to the same position at Rostock–Laage Airport.

After the British airline Flybmi, which operated domestic flights to Munich and Stuttgart ceased the operation and declared bankruptcy, Lufthansa took over the route from Rostock to Munich with up to two daily rotations with Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft. However, this service has since been terminated.

In 2019, the airport suffered a sharp downfall in passenger numbers with a decrease by more than half to just 148,000. This was mainly caused by the shutdown of Germania which operated several leisure routes from Rostock. In February 2021, Lufthansa Aviation Training relocated their practical training from Bremen Airport to Rostock.

On the airfield it is a part of the major maneuver held in June 2023, held under the leadership of the German Air Force Air Defender 23 it is the greatest exercise of air forces since NATO was announced.

Facilities
The airport consists of one modern passenger terminal building containing a large check-in hall as well as some shops and restaurants. The building is equipped with two jet bridges and apron positions. Rostock–Laage Airport usually sees traffic by mid-sized aircraft such as the Airbus A320 but is equipped to handle wide-body aircraft up to the Boeing 747-400. It also has several stands for smaller general aviation planes.

Airlines and destinations
The following airlines operate scheduled flights at Rostock Airport:

Additionally, the airport is frequently used for non-public cruise ship charter flights to and from Southern Europe, e. g. operated by ITA Airways, to carry passengers travelling to and from the nearby cruise port of Warnemünde.

The nearest major international airports are Berlin Brandenburg Airport 190 km to the south and Hamburg Airport 200 km to the west.

Public transport
For all scheduled and most charter flights, a direct bus connection to Rostock Hauptbahnhof (25 km distance) is provided by the regional public transport company (Rebus). A special fare ("Flughafenticket") is introduced, allowing passengers to use suburban trains and street cars within the City of Rostock for one connecting trip. The same applies for one additional trip on regional busses from Rostock within the integrated fare region of Rostock.

Road
The motorways A19 (Rostock–Berlin) and A20 (Lübeck–Szczecin) are nearby. There are 4 parking areas at the airport with more than 1,000 parking spots in total. Several international as well as local car rental agencies are located at the airport.

Claude Castonguay

Claude Castonguay, (May 8, 1929 – December 12, 2020) was a Canadian politician, educator, and businessman.

Career
Born in Quebec City, Quebec, the son of Émile Castonguay and Jeanne Gauvin, he studied science at Université Laval, followed by actuary science at the University of Manitoba.

He taught at Université Laval from 1951 until 1957. He was elected in the 1970 Quebec election to the National Assembly of Quebec in the riding of Louis-Hebert. He served as Minister of Health, Family and Social Welfare. He did not run in 1973. In 1978, he was the President-elect of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries. From 1982 until 1989, he was the chief executive officer of the Laurentian Group Corporation and president of the Laurentian Bank of Canada. From 1989 to 1990, he was the chairman of the Conference Board of Canada. He was the Chancellor of the Université de Montréal from 1986 until 1990.

He was appointed to the Senate, as a member of the Progressive Conservative caucus. He represented the senatorial division of Stadacona, Quebec, from September 23, 1990, until his resignation on December 9, 1992.

Castonguay-Nepveu Commission
During the 1960s, the Jean Lesage Quebec government mandated Castonguay to chair a Commission (with Gerard Nepveu)- The commission on health care and social services (Commission d'enquête sur les services de santé et les services sociaux)- on the state of health care in Quebec much of which, before the Quiet Revolution, was still largely under the jurisdiction of the Clergy. The result was the Castonguay-Nepveu Report published in 1967. This report recommended a new state-run health insurance policy, a new health care network, as well as a new network of social service clinics now known as the CLSC. The plan was to give a broader access to health and psychiatric care for the Quebec population. Major changes were made following the recommendation, most notably the introduction of hospitalisation and medication insurance. Castonguay is so closely identified with health care in Quebec that many people refer to the Quebec health card (Carte d'assurance-maladie au Québec) as a Castonguette.

Castonguay task force on Quebec health care
In 2007, the minority Liberal government of Quebec appointed Castonguay to a closed-door committee examining the health-care system's finances. Castonguay is a long-serving advocate of greater privatization, user fees and private insurance.

The Castonguay task force released in February 2008 said Quebec residents should pay $25 for every visit to a doctor. The report also called for an increase of up to one percentage point in the Quebec sales tax to help pay for medicare. Castonguay said health care is growing 5.8 per cent a year as a share of the provincial budget, while total government spending increases 3.9 per cent annually.

Most of the report was publicly dismissed by the government of the day.

Forty years after being one of the pioneers of public health care, Castonguay's commission advocates both an increased role for private enterprise in medicine and increased public investment in the socialized system both through taxes and through user fees. Castonguay was quoted as saying "We are proposing to give a greater role to the private sector so that people can exercise freedom of choice." While concerned about the financial stresses the system places on the government, Castonguay does not advocate dismantling publicly financed health insurance altogether.

Death
He died on December 12, 2020, at the age of 91.

Honours

 * In 1974, he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada.
 * In 1991, he was made an Officer of the National Order of Quebec. In 2014, he was promoted to Grand Officer.
 * He was awarded Honorary Doctor of Laws from Bishop's University, McGill University, the University of Toronto, the University of Manitoba, Laurentian University, Concordia University, the University of Western Ontario and York University.

American Horror Film?????
How can this be an American Horror film when the principle authors are Australian (or based in Australia) and the production company is Canadian? And while Canada is in America, the American Horror link goes to the USA Cinema page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.251.20.3 (talk) 03:02, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably because it was released in the US first.--CyberGhostface (talk) 03:18, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It is an American production, because it was financed by American producers, and was made in the US. The sequels were made in Canada. MaximumMadnessStixon (talk) 16:27, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Because Wan himself calls it an American film as it was financed by American dollars. This is now clarified in the article. — Mike  Allen   02:55, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Genre
I'm against placing the genres lead as "psychological thriller". I understand how directors and writers view their own work, but I think it should be focused on third-party sources to decide it's genres. When promoting films, filmmakers and directors sometimes do not use certain terms which can carry negative notations (horror for example). Several third party sources refer to it as a horror film: source
 * Film Threat "To be rivaled only by the indie thriller Open Water, “Saw” may be the best independent horror film to have come out since The Blair Witch Project." source
 * Seattle Post-Intelligencer: "'Saw' is an ingenious cut above any other horror film of modern" source
 * Noted horror film expert Kim Newman in Empire "As good an all-out, non-camp horror movie as we’ve had lately." source
 * San Francisco Chronicle: "Saw: Horror.", "Director Wan and his co-writer Whannell show a heartlessness essential to a hardcore horror film.", "
 * Allrovi "Genre: Horror, Sadistic horror"

I'm not against removing it as a category, but a film maker can call a film any genre they want, it doesn't necessarily make it so. If Saw is a comedy to them, it doesn't make it so. Andrzejbanas (talk) 03:46, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I see your point. When revamping this article I tried to make the content as correct as possible, thus going by what the writer and producer classify the film as. But I understand that's not the foundation of Wikipedia which is why I'm not going to debate it.  I've changed it to a "horror" film. — Mike   Allen   04:04, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for being understanding. When I was working on the articles for House and Eyes Without a Face a came upon the same problem. The director and star of Eyes don't like calling it a horror film and the director and writer of House thought of it as more of a fantasy. Of course, all critics and other sources predominantly say horror. Happens I guess! Andrzejbanas (talk) 05:03, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

The Cube
Was this film influenced by The Cube series which also has a group of people trapped in a strange environment and facing unknown death traps? (178.236.117.122 (talk) 16:30, 4 May 2013 (UTC))

plot section rewrite
The plot section has many mistakes and malformed sentences. I think it's in need of a rewrite Dummies102 (talk) 13:44, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

 * LOL, this comment was from seven years ago, so I'm guessing it won't happen, but the plot summary is basically incoherent. There are a bunch of bad parts, but the best example is this sentence: "When Gordon's wife calls him at gunpoint warning him not to trust Adam, the latter admits that he was paid by Tapp to spy on him and showed the photos he took from the bag containing the hacksaws; revealing his knowledge of Gordon's affair with one of his medical students whom he had visited the night he was abducted and the reason he is being tested." ...What? I haven't seen the movie (why I was here reading a plot summary), so I can't fix it, but this needs work badly. 174.86.30.121 (talk) 05:55, 23 August 2020 (UTC)MOB

Classification
I think the film should be listed as a psychological thriller. First, the creators intended it to be one. Second, many reviews believe it to be one. Ebert called it a "thriller," the AMC site that is linked in this article calls it a "psychological thriller." Third, the film arguably is a psychological thriller (though I don't think it's such a great example). The best proof of this is the scene at the end when the doctor goes a little nuts and cuts his leg off and shoots the other guy. Anyway, it was discussed above that it shouldn't be listed as a psychological thriller because *some* reviews listed it as a horror, but I don't see how one precludes the other, especially given that the "Psychological thriller" page says, "Psychological thrillers often incorporate elements of mystery, drama, and horror, particularly psychological horror." (Perhaps it should be classified as a psychological horror? That seems the most accurate to me.) I think when it is not so clear as in this case, we shouldn't rely on our on opinions but on those of the creators and the professional reviewers, who seem to think it is a psychological thriller. And if it is not going to be listed as one, then I don't see why it is included in the "Psychological thriller series" at the bottom of the page.--Bobjohnson111980 (talk) 04:04, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
 * This section is dated but just to clear this up due to some people's general misunderstanding of how film genres work - movies are often more than just one genre, hence why psychological thriller is included in the categories. Saw is partially a psychological thriller but not primarily, so it isn't in the lead. The creator of The Exorcist also didn't intend for it to be a horror film and calls it a religious drama/supernatural thriller but that doesn't make it not a horror film. "it was discussed above that it shouldn't be listed as a psychological thriller because *some* reviews listed it as a horror" why should it be listed as a thriller because *some* reviews listed it as a thriller? Ebert listed the film as "Horror, Thriller" and refers to it as BOTH a horror film and a thriller in his review. "professional reviewers, who seem to think it is a psychological thriller" the majority of professional reviewers consider Saw to be a horror film. Clearly not just a horror film but it is primarily a horror film. "The best proof of this is the scene at the end when the doctor goes a little nuts and cuts his leg off and shoots the other guy." That isn't psychological thriller, that's psychological horror. Also, the majority of the metacritic professional reviews call it a horror film (about 6 or 7 call it horror, 3 call it thriller). --FollowTheSigns (talk) 17:46, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Burntisland Shipyard F.C.

Burntisland Shipyard Football Club are a Scottish football club based in the town of Burntisland, Fife. The club competes in the and play their home matches at Recreation Park. They are full members of the Scottish Football Association.

History
The club was formed from the Burntisland Shipbuilding Company's recreation fund, which had been established in 1919 by weekly subscription from the workers at the company to establish recreational activities for themselves. This fund allowed for the establishment of a cricket club, bowls club and two football teams, one at junior level, the other at juvenile level.

The recreation club then bought a ground and built a pavilion at it to facilitate the playing of cricket in the summer months and football in the winter. The junior team faded by the early 1920s, but the juvenile team continued to play in local Fife leagues, and it was in 1925 that the Burntisland Shipyard Amateur F.C. that exists at present was properly formed. They joined the Lothian Amateur Football League, and in 1929 they were allowed to enter the Scottish Cup at the qualifying stages.

It is this fact that made them notable, as they remained one of the few clubs outwith the senior ranks (i.e. SPL; SFL, Highland; East; and South leagues) allowed to participate in the Scottish Cup. They were one of four clubs in this category along with Glasgow University, Golspie Sutherland, and since 2004, Girvan.

Qualification for the Scottish Cup proper happened on few occasions; they first qualified in 1935–36, when they hosted Dumbarton in a first round tie. They held the league side to a creditable 2–2 draw in front of 600 fans on 25 January 1936, before being defeated 3–1 in a replay at Dumbarton on 29 January 1936. They qualified for the cup once again in 1938–39, and hosted Celtic on 21 January 1939. They were defeated 8–3 in front of a crowd of 2,000, but were only losing 3–2 at half-time in the game.

The club continued to play in the Lothian League until 1959, when they joined the Kirkcaldy and District Amateur League. In 1999 they entered the Kingdom Caledonian Football League, the competition in which they played until the end of the 2011–12 season.

Their next qualification to the Scottish Cup was in 1994–95. They managed to defeat St Cuthbert Wanderers by a score of 6–2 in a second round tie held in Burntisland on 7 January 1995, before being defeated 7–0 by Huntly in the third round on 28 January 1995.

With reorganisation of the Scottish Cup in 2007, the team (like all other non-league SFA members) were allowed to enter at the first round stage from the 2007–08 Scottish Cup.

Burntisland Shipyard were admitted into the East of Scotland Football Association and the East of Scotland Football League before the start of the 2012–13 season.
