Talk:COM file

Default path
I deleted the discussion of how the default path in UNIX helps prevent execution of maliciously named binaries in the current directory. While this is a similar problem, even if this were the case in MS-DOS it wouldn't fix the problem, since the COM file is usually placed in the same directory as the EXE file, in which case it would still find the COM file before the EXE file. It seems more appropriate for an article about paths and default search paths. Deco 19:21, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Exactly how is a .COM binary a fat binary?
Would someone care to explain that? I am under the impression that a .COM file is just loaded to some segment as is and the operating system jumps to run it. I do not think that MS-DOS on PC has the ability of running fat .COM files, it is just so simple and dumb loading of the binary as possible. I do believe .EXE files can be fat binaries, since on Windows 3.11 the programs usually check if Windows is running or not, and there is many DOS device drivers which are .EXE files but still can be loaded like .SYS files, because the files have both properties of a program and a device driver structure implemented somehow. Those who know better can enlighten me.

 * It isn't something done by the operating system; it's done by the COM file itself. The first few bytes have to be, simultaneously, valid x86 code and valid x80 code. For example, the utilities in the MYZ80 emulator start 0xEB 0x52 0xEB. An 8086 sees this as a jump and reads its next instruction from 0x0154; an 8080 goes straight through and reads its next instruction from 0x0103. A fully fat COM file would then include two copies of the rest of its code, one for CP/M and x80, and one for MS-DOS and x86. HungryHorace 11:43, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

By the way, MS-DOS and CP/M "compatibility" is only somewhat possible if you confine yourself to the system functions of MS-DOS version 1; a whole new series of radically revamped DOS function calls was introduced with DOS 2.0 in 1983 (adding file handles, subdirectory support, and ASCIIZ strings, among other things), and very quickly came to be used in preference to the roughly equivalent DOS 1 functions for most purposes by most programs. By 1985, CP/M compatibility was only of interest to a quite small number of PC users... AnonMoos (talk) 09:51, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Is there any reference for this? Pol098 (talk) 13:17, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Malicious Use and .COM vs .EXE
The section on Execution preference and its subsection Malicious use are not totally related. Execution preference contains an example of malicious use. The malicious use listed under Malicious use (having a COM file resemble a URL) does not really relate to Execution preference. I think this needs to be reorganized. Agree/disagree? Arun Philip 16:59, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

I think the word "capitalise" is being misused. Capitalism suggests exploitation for the purpose of generating revenue, whereas virus writers operate for other reasons. So I'm changing it to "take advantage". Bbi5291 (talk) 19:41, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Take advantage is clearer so I left it be. The use of capitalise was correct. See dictionary.com definition 7. TLConrow (talk) 02:47, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Command line arguments and COM files
There are no details on what the system puts in between 0x00 and 0xFF at program execution. It is reserved, but what does it contain? I have been told the command line parameters were stored in there somewhere. That information is seldom available on the internet tho. --88.170.36.239 (talk) 11:01, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Legitimate use
Should we mention how little legitimate use there is for a .com file on a modern home computer, if any?

 * I know that Visual Studio uses a .com file in order to allow the command "devenv" to correspond to a command line application despite the fact that devenv.exe is a windows application. --Kragen2uk (talk) 03:50, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

 * COMMAND.COM is still widely found on PCs. -- 213.105.186.124 (talk) 01:21, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Platform support
The article erroneously give the impression that the executable .COM extension is no longer valid on 64-bit Windows. Someone might like to explain that this is not the case and why: For example I have a BCBeCyPDFMetaEdit.com and WinSCP.com in my binaries directory that run under 64-bit Windows. So these must be either valid Win32 or Win64 applications with a the file Properties->Details "Type" of "MS-DOS Application" even though they are not. (They may well be WinXX Console EXEs with a COM extension that get loaded as a result of a .COM extension still existant in the PATHEXT on Win64. If so or not someone might like to explain this.) 122.148.41.172 (talk) 02:05, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

 * 11 years have passed and that impression is still present in the article. Funny thing, a command that can be used in Command Prompt is in fact a... .COM file, still available in 64-bit Windows! 83.11.130.13 (talk) 15:35, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

"Originally, the term stood for "Command file""
I read somewhere, though I forget where, that the ".COM stands for Command File" was simply a common misconception and that COM is actually "Common Image". This is not simply a piece of idle gossip as I believe I read it in a respected textbook, however I cannot seem to find which one. Anyone able to enlighten me upon the truth and perhaps update the article accordingly? -- 213.105.186.124 (talk) 01:30, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems I was thinking of "Core Image", not "Common Image". With some Googling, there seems to be quite a bit of evidence that this is the case.  -- 213.105.186.124 (talk) 15:43, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I seriously doubt that. A textbook does not prove anything. If you want a solid definition better try to find one in the original vendor documentation for these operating systems.
 * As far I as know, the origin of binary executable files with the file extension .COM is in 8-bit CP/M (since ca. 1973). Such files were typically called transient commands or transient programs to be executed in the TPA (Transient Program Area) under CP/M.
 * By way of SCP's 86-DOS in 1980, MS-DOS/PC DOS and the other DOSes for x86-machines inherited this file extension for binary executables. They were officially called external commands by SCP and Microsoft.
 * COM files already existed in DEC's RT-11, a system which inspired many commands in CP/M, but in RT-11 it was still an executable text file format, kind of a predecessor to batch files. A COM file in RT-11 was called command file.
 * Therefore, I don't see how the terms core or image would fit in there other than that CP/M and DOS COM files are binary code images, nothing more. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 18:21, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what's correct, however, look at every other language of Wikipedia. Seems they support this version.  I assume they had a reason...  -- 213.105.186.124 (talk) 20:34, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia itself is not a reliable reference we can use, but sometimes it can give hints. Therefore, I checked out the 16 other Wikipedia articles on this subject. All but two (the Italian and Polish WP) state something equivalent to "command file", the Italian and Polish WPs give a source for "core image": Borland International, Inc.: Borland Turbo Assembler - User's guide. U.S.A.: 1996, page 229. I don't have this edition, but I looked it up in my copy of: Borland International, Inc.: Borland Turbo Assembler 3.2 - User's Guide, 1992. In fact, on page 312, the COM format (not file) is defined as COre iMage, and the EXE format as EXEcutable. In all other places they just speak of COM programs and EXE programs. An equivalent section can be found in my German issue of Borland Turbo Assembler 3.0 Benutzerhandbuch, 1992 on page 303 (translated by Alois Stockklauser and Christian Stummer), but I could not find this definition in my copy of Borland Turbo Assembler 2.0 Benutzerhandbuch, 1990. However, for as long as we don't find a definition pre-dating CP/M or even RT-11 (1970s), I see this as a (rather strange) backronym coined in the early 1990s by an anonymous staff writer at Borland. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 02:13, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Omaha Public Schools

Omaha Public Schools (OPS) is the largest school district in the state of Nebraska, United States. This public school district serves a diverse community of about 52,000 students at over 80 elementary and secondary schools in Omaha. Its district offices are located in the former Tech High at 30th and Cuming Streets.

Within Douglas County the district includes much of Omaha. The district extends into parts of Sarpy County, where it includes portions of Bellevue.

Key personnel
• Superintendent: Matthew Ray

• OPS Board Member President: Spencer Head

• OPS Board Member Vice President: Ricky Smith

• Subdistrict Board Member #1: Ricky Smith

• Subdistrict Board Member #2: Bri Full

• Subdistrict Board Member #3: Nick Thielen

• Subdistrict Board Member #5: Spencer Head

• Subdistrict Board Member #6: Nancy Kratky

• Subdistrict Board Member #7: Jane Erdenberger

• Subdistrict Board Member #8: Margo Juarez

• Subdistrict Board Member #9: Tracy Casady

One City, One School District
Omaha Public Schools has a long tradition of segregation extending the entire history of the city from its first public school in the 1860s. In 1976, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered Omaha end school segregation and the district implemented a plan to bus students citywide in order to integrate schools. After that order was rescinded by SCOTUS in 1999, the district re-segregated.

On June 13, 2005, the Omaha Public Schools Board and Superintendent John Mackiel announced their intention to annex 25 schools within Omaha city limits to OPS. They are currently part of the Elkhorn Public Schools, Millard Public Schools and Ralston Public Schools districts. This announcement, based on three Nebraska statutes  enacted in 1891 and 1947, is known as the "One City, One School District" plan.

This issue is highly controversial in Omaha. Supporters of the plan claim that a single school district is necessary to promote a cohesive Omaha community, ensure academic equity in all Omaha schools and prevent OPS from becoming locked into a declining property tax base. Opponents contend that Omaha-area residents should be able to choose from a number of school districts, and that the schools would become less efficient in one large school district. Discussions among the school districts have been unproductive; the issue figured prominently in the 2006 session of the Nebraska state legislature.

Split the District
The Nebraska legislature passed a bill (LB 1024) on April 13, 2006, that addresses the "One City, One School District" issues. The governor of Nebraska signed it later that day. It requires each metropolitan class city to have a "learning community" that consists of all of the school districts in the county where the city is located and any county that shares a border with the city. The learning community will be composed of voting representatives from each school district and will also include the superintendents of the districts as non-voting members. A learning community will be charged with helping to distribute property tax revenue more evenly throughout the school districts in its area.

In general, a learning community leaves the boundaries of school districts untouched. However, LB 1024 also calls for OPS to be broken into three separate school districts. The exact boundaries for three new Omaha school districts are to be chosen by the Omaha learning community. Their choices are limited by requirements of LB 1024 that each new district consist of contiguous high school attendance areas and include either two or three of the seven existing high schools. That allows about 20 ways to group the seven schools, depending on which adjacent high school attendance areas are grouped with the geographically most central area.

The three-district plan for OPS was proposed in amendment AM3142, introduced on the day the legislature first took up LB 1024. The suburban school districts reluctantly supported the three-district plan, seeing it as the most favorable to them of the bills proposed. The OPS leadership vehemently opposed the plan. AM3142 was approved on the day it was introduced by a counted vote of 33 to 6 with 10 senators not voting. Five days later a motion to reconsider AM3142 failed in a roll-call vote of 9 to 31 with 9 senators not voting. The roll call showed legislators from Omaha split six in favor of the three-district plan (Sens. Brashear, Brown, Chambers, Jensen, Pahls and Redfield) and five opposed (Sens. Bourne, Friend, Howard, Kruse and Synowiecki).

It was suspected that OPS may file a suit challenging the new law, but they did not. Instead, on May 16, 2006 the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) filed a suit against the governor and other Nebraska state officials charging that LB 1024, originally proposed by state senator Ernie Chambers, "intentionally furthers racial segregation." The NAACP lawsuit argues that because Omaha has racially segregated residential patterns, subdivided school districts will also be racially segregated, contrary to United States law.

According to April 2006, information published by Associated Press, the current Omaha public school district has approximately 45,000 students classified as 46 percent white, 31 percent black, 20 percent Hispanic, and 3 percent Asian or American Indian. News reports indicate that division of the city of Omaha into three new school districts, as ordered in April, 2006, by the Nebraska legislature and including current Elkhorn, Millard and Ralston public schools, is often expected to result in black students concentrated in a North Omaha district, white students in West Omaha district, and non-English speaking students in a South Omaha district. However, the law does not mandate such a result. Within its requirements, new districts may be drawn in several different ways.

LB 641, approved on May 7, 2007, repealed the requirement that the Omaha Public Schools district be broken up into three districts. Afterward, the governor suspended and repealed the law.

Florensky (crater)

Florensky is a lunar impact crater that is attached to the northeastern rim of the larger crater Vernadskiy. It is located on the far side of the Moon and cannot be directly seen from the Earth. The rim of this crater has been heavily eroded and it forms an irregular ring about the uneven interior. This crater was previously identified as Vernadskiy B before being assigned a name by the IAU in 1985.

Alexander Forbes (explorer)

Alexander Forbes (1778–1862) was a 19th-century Scottish merchant, explorer, and author. His book California: A History of Upper and Lower California, published in 1839, is perhaps the first full account in English of California. He is the brother of distinguished Scottish physician Sir John Forbes.

Forbes grew up in the counties of Banffshire and Aberdeenshire. At some point, he emigrated to Tepic, Mexico, where he made his living as a merchant. He is also recorded as having been the British consul to Mexico. It was during his time here that he wrote his book. One of the remarkable aspects of the book is that Forbes wrote it without ever having visited California at the time.

At the time Forbes was writing, California was a province of Mexico. Forbes drew upon the accounts of California's Franciscan Padres to inform his work, as well as other agents, including southern California cattleman and landowner Abel Stearns. His work contains extensive descriptions of Mexican California, including accounts of California's agriculture and its landscape. Forbes advocated that the United Kingdom take control of California, and suggested that the territory might be ceded to the UK in return for forgiving Mexico's debt to the British government.

In 1846, Barron, Forbes & Co., which was composed of Forbes, Eustace Barron (who served as consul before him), and the British vice-consul to California, James Alexander Forbes (no relation), purchased the New Almaden quicksilver mines from Andrés Castillero, which proved to be extremely profitable. However, another man, José de los Reyes Berreyesa, also lay claim to the mine on the basis that it lay on land given to him in a land grant by the Mexican governor of Alta California. Furthermore, Justo Larias also claimed ownership, and the United States government even stepped in to claim that the mine lay on public land. A complex legal case involving Mexican laws and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo described by The New York Times as "one of the most remarkable civil trials in this or any other country", United States v. Andres Castillero eventually reached the United States Supreme Court whereupon it was finally decided in 1862 that, the mine was on the Larias grant, and that the furnaces and improvements of the company below the hill were on the Berreyessa grant. The company bought into these two titles and then sold the entire operation in 1864 to the Quicksilver Mining Company.

Forbes, however, had moved to London in 1848 to stay with his brother. They retired to Whitchurch-on-Thames in 1859 after his brother suffered a series of strokes. Forbes died in 1862 at the age of 84.

Trolling idiot
I have just reversed - I hope - all the edits added by whichever troll it was who is immediately messing about with this article again now that it is allowed to do so (putting in false dates, references to "1940" and other spam). Can we please get this article semi-protected for a long period, say at least a year? It is obvious that whoever it is wants to post that drivel and, if they want to distort information in such a way, then longer periods of semi-protection should, in my view, be obligatory. Vandalism happily is nowhere near what it was in the 2000s - re-editing this piece, I had unhealthy flashbacks to the days when The View and The Twang were actually popular.

The maps I've consulted do indeed show the Bluebell Hill signal reaching Southend and Canvey Island, but they also show the Anglia signal from Sudbury and/or the Thames/LWT signal from Crystal Palace reaching these areas too. Do you have any maps showing official franchise areas (as opposed to transmitter coverage) to show Southend and Canvey Island in the TVS area?

 * I think in the future I might produce new versions of the maps showing transmitter coverage overlap in a pale pink colour, but that will take some time to sort out. --  Dr Greg  talk 15:09, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Unfortunately I got rid of things like TX maps when I moved house a while back. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 16:54, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Portacabins
There are persistent stories that Meridian used the same portacabins as TVS had on their franchise take-over. Given that, over the years, TVS had added more portacabins to the site for extra accomodation, I'm not sure this story holds up. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 09:31, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Brimscombe and Thrupp

Brimscombe and Thrupp is a civil parish made up of the villages of Thrupp and Brimscombe, in the narrow Frome Valley slightly south-east of Stroud, Gloucestershire, England. The parish also includes the hamlets of Quarhouse and The Heavens. The population taken at the 2011 census was 1,830.

The mills
Although small-scale textile weaving and cloth manufacturing had been taking place for centuries it was with the construction of the Thames and Severn Canal and Brimscombe Port in 1789 that the two villages expanded rapidly, and many cloth and woollen mills were constructed. Many of these were later adapted for other purposes.

Bourne Mills at one time housed a company that produced walking sticks. Griffin Mill was founded in 1600 by the Griffin family for the making of cloth and was subsequently used for furniture making. Ham Mill produced textiles from 1601 to 2000, when the carpet manufacturer occupying the premises ceased trading. Phoenix Mill was the site of the old iron works (see Phoenix Iron Works below). Port Mills was at one time a grist mill before later becoming a textile mill (until the 1930s); then, in the late 1930s and 1940s, it housed a garden tractor company and an engineering works (see under Brimscombe Port below).

Phoenix Iron Works
Early records indicate that there was a cloth mill at Thrupp dating back as far as 1381. By 1770 the premises had expanded to include a house, four fulling mills and a gig mill.

The gig mill, which eventually became known as Thrupp Mill, was leased to Edward Ferrabee in 1793. By 1828 the entire premises were leased to the Ferrabees, and an iron works, the Phoenix Iron Works, had been established. The Ferrabees became well known for their production of cloth-making machines, steam engines, agricultural machinery and water wheels. It was here that John Lewis had invented a machine in 1815 to shear the surplus fibres or nap from the surface of cloth, using a horizontal blade.

In the 1820s Edwin Beard Budding, a machinist or "mechanician", was employed by Edward's son, John, at Thrupp. It was while Budding was working at Thrupp that Lewis' machine was developed to use rotary cutters, and Budding realised that this machine could be adapted for other purposes. Using gears, a revolving horizontal shaft and three blades he developed a machine to cut grass, which until then had been cut manually, using a scythe. This resulted in the world's first lawn mower being invented at Thrupp. It received its patent in 1830. Budding is also credited with the invention of the screw adjustable spanner.

Brimscombe Port
Brimscombe was an important local centre during the Industrial Revolution with its canal and rail links, with Brimscombe Port serving as the hub of the Thames and Severn Canal.

Brimscombe Port was originally built to transfer cargo from Severn trows, which travelled from the River Severn down the Stroudwater Navigation, to Thames barges which carried the goods eastwards towards London. This was necessary because the locks to the east of the port were too narrow to accommodate the larger sea-going trows. There were also several boat-building yards at the port, including Abdela & Mitchell, who exported boats, notably paddle steamers, all over the world.

Until the construction of what is now the A419 road along the bottom of the valley in 1815, Thrupp Lane was the main thoroughfare between Stroud and Chalford. The condition of this road was such that it required a whole day for a team of horses to draw a loaded waggon and return, a distance of only four miles each way. Later, the coming of the railway transformed the valley into a major route eastwards from Stroud (see Brimscombe railway station).

According to one source, the legendary riverboat Queen Of Africa, which gave a star performance in the John Huston movie The African Queen, was built at the Abdela & Mitchell Brimscombe works between 1908 and 1911. However, other sources state that the boat, which still exists in the USA, can be identified from the plate on her boiler as being built by Lytham Shipbuilding and Engineering Co. as Livingstone. Naturally many vessels built for export by various companies resembled each other. The distinguishing feature which differentiates African Queen from the Brimscombe boats is the use of a vertical boiler on a vessel larger than vessels built by Abdelas with such boilers. Abdela preferred to use horizontal boilers for vessels of this size.

Many of the Abdela & Mitchell river-boats went to the Nile, the Niger and other African rivers, and especially to the Peruvian Amazon and other Amazonian tributaries. The Abdela river-boats were highly regarded for their elegance, shallow draft (often less than 40 cm), and flexibility, viz the Addis Ababa for Lt-Col John Harrington's White Nile/Ethiopia expedition of 1903 – "boiler arranged to burn oil, coal or wood". The Shipyards announced themselves as "Contractors To The Admiralty, War Office, India Office And Allied Governments".

Port Mills was in use in the mid 1930s by a family called Reed who sold Kincade garden tractors, but the enterprise was loss making and during 1937-8 the business was taken over by Bullock, Parsons & Co, who also worked as engineering contractors. Another businessman, Mr C T R Shepheard, who had been running a nearby sign manufacturing business, joined forces with the company and became a director. However the declaration of war in September 1939 meant the garden tractor business continued to be a struggle, especially because of difficulties obtaining import licences. From 1939 the need was for engineering that supported the war effort, and thus Bullock, Parsons & Co redeployed their plant and staff to do contract work for the Bristol Aeroplane Company, Rolls-Royce (for Spitfire engines) and Humber. Towards the end of the war the premises were commandeered for storage by the Admiralty and were only finally restored to Mr Bullock's company after he had written 364 letters to the government and published his story in the Daily Express (26 October 1945). In the 21st century, Port Mill houses the History Press, which, by happy coincidence, published the memoir cited above with reference to Bullock, Parsons & Co.

Present day

The former port is to be regenerated as part of the canal restoration project by the Cotswold Canals Partnership. This will require considerable engineering expertise as much of the basin has been infilled, and in places factories have been built over the canal. Initially, the canal is planned to become navigable from Brimscombe Port to the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. Plans are in place, and much activity being undertaken to restore the whole length of what is now known as The Cotswold Canals, eastwards from Brimscombe to Inglesham on the Thames.

Business
Although there are still a handful of shops in Brimscombe including the newsagent, post office, fish & chip shop, hairdresser and antique furniture store, the number of retail outlets has been in steady decline. The last shop and post office in Thrupp, the Happy Shopper, closed in 1998.

However, most of the former mill buildings have been restored and converted for modern business use. Bourne Mills now houses a cycle shop, auto repair services, and a metal polishing company. Griffin Mill is occupied by a variety of small businesses including a paint factory, a painting and decorating retail business, a fitness centre, an antiques emporium, a computer supplier, a printmaking co-operative and an art shop. Hope Mills business centre contains a tree maintenance company, a car body repair centre, a banner maker and an electrical, plumbing and building maintenance contractor. Phoenix Mill is a trading estate containing, among others, a swimming pool installer, a hot sauce manufacturer, an electronic component manufacturer, a brewery, a printers, Noni's Coffee Roasters and Hammett Guitar Co.- an independent guitar manufacturer.

Education
Thrupp primary school is a mixed school of non-denominational religion with a thriving arts community, while Brimscombe C of E Primary is a mixed school of Church of England religion. Both schools act as feeder schools for Thomas Keble School, Stroud High School, Marling School, Archway School, Cirencester Deer Park School, Sir William Romney, Maidenhill School and St Peter's School in Gloucester.

Governance
Both villages fall in the 'Thrupp' electoral ward. This ward stretches from Rodborough in the north to Brimscombe in the south. The total ward population at the 2011 census was 2,327.

Leisure
There is a public house, the name of which reflects the local history, the Ship Inn at Brimscombe, which takes its name from the Severn trows which are mentioned earlier. Until recently there was another pub called the King and Castle. This acquired its name from its proximity to the railway line (it was opposite the site of Brimscombe station); 'king' and 'castle' being the names of two classes of locomotive used by the Great Western Railway. It is now an Indian restaurant.

Burleigh Court Hotel occupies a Grade II listed early 19th century manor house, built for George Harmar (d.1827) and rebuilt in the 1920s by Clough Williams-Ellis.

Religion
The parish church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity, and there is a Methodist church on Brimscombe Hill, as well as a non-denominational Christian Fellowship that meets in the Brimscombe and Thrupp Social Centre.

Sport
Brimscombe & Thrupp F.C. (known as the Lilywhites) have a first team who play in the Hellenic League Premier Division and a Development team who play in the Hellenic League Division 2 West. Their home ground is The Meadow, where they have been resident for over a hundred years.

Politics
Two councillors represent Brimscombe and Thrupp Parish on Stroud District Council.

Foster (crater)

Foster is a small lunar impact crater that lies to the southeast of the larger crater Joule, on the far side of the Moon. The rim of Foster is slightly eroded, and the narrow inner walls slope directly down to the relatively dark interior floor. The rim has a small outward bulge along the southwest side. There is a small craterlet on the floor next to the northern rim. A tiny impact in the southeast part of the crater interior is surrounded by a small skirt of high albedo material, producing a bright patch.

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

Permacel

Permacel, a division of the Nitto Denko company, is an industrial adhesive tape manufacturing company. Headquartered in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, United States, the company produces 350 kinds of tape used in a broad range of industries, including paper masking tape, reinforced strapping tape, paper packaging tape, PTFE tape, film tape, double coated tape, transfer tape, repulpable tape, thread seal, foil tape, surface protective films and vinyl tape. Permacel manufactured and sold graphic art tapes until 2004 when that part of their business was sold to Shurtape Technologies.

History
In the 1920s, a small Detroit druggist had uncovered and was selling Johnson & Johnson surgical tape to a car manufacturer who used the tape for masking two-tone paint jobs. By 1927, Johnson & Johnson recognized the market potential for tape products in the industrial market and a small department was formed to market "masking tape". Cellophane and paper tapes were soon developed for the industrial market. This new division of Johnson & Johnson was called the Revolite Corporation. When it opened it was located in a small building next to the Johnson & Johnson Headquarters in New Brunswick, NJ. On January 1, 1938, Revolite was renamed the Industrial Tape Corporation and in 1953 ITC became Permacel and it moved to its new location on Route 1 in North Brunswick, NJ. The name came from the brand-name of the first product shipped from its plant, "Permacel", a masking tape. In 1982, Permacel was acquired by Avery International, a self-adhesive label company. In 1988, Permacel was acquired by Nitto Denko.

Permacel claims a number of firsts: first masking tape, first filament reinforced tape and patents, first polypropylene tape, first PTFE thread sealant tape, first colored and waterproof cloth tape, and first aluminum foil tape. (Source, corporate literature).

On May 17, 2004, Permacel announced that it would be closing its manufacturing facility in North Brunswick, New Jersey.

On March 31, 2009, Permacel announced that it would be closing its manufacturing facilities in Buena Park, California, and Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, by September 30, 2009.

Thank you
For your rational and intelligent contributions to the Terri Schiavo article. You've managed to avoid the knee jerk reactionism, fantastic canards, and hyper-sensitive ranting that's got the best of just about every last other editor there (disclosure: myself included) while making delligent and regular contributions to the article itself. Congrats on finally getting a user name (by God that IP was getting annoying), as this place needs more editors like you. Professor Ninja 02:05, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you -- Y'all are going to make me blush. I hope I am being helpful and wish I had more time than the occasional coffee break (but, I will continue to look at the article and make suggestions in re incorporating the legal stuff). And it was a knee-jerk reaction that got me involved in the discussion page to begin with (I saw the words "without reading the law" followed by an opinion on the law that the writer hadn't bothered to look up and decided it was time to get involved. I rant, just on a different tack.)  If you're really that appreciative though, some Tim Horton's old fashioned sour cream glazed doughnuts would really make my coffee break ever so much better...--Mia-Cle 16:08, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, the joys of living in this country. There are literally five Tim Hortons within walking distance of me. I am never lacking for caffeine (I think they put something in it, though Snopes assures me this isn't true). I suppose this just goes to show that, like a hammer, a knee jerk can be used to build a house or bash a skull. Though I'm curious, how are you familiar with our little coffee chain? Has it really made it so far south? (I would still like, on behalf of my Dominion, those colonies back, please. We have nowhere warm to go.) I know they are the most awesome awesome that's ever awesomed, and they've made some inroads in the States, but it seems they are fast conquering Starbucks. For shame, Tim. For shame. Professor Ninja 19:20, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Five! Alas and a lack--there are no Tim's down this far south to my knowledge ('wish there were--franchise opportunity!--there's only Starbucks/Krispy Kreme/Dunkin Donuts (ugh, spelling)  *Not* the same.)  I grew up on the U.S. side of Lake Erie and had many a sojourn in the land of the maple leaf--having tasted a Tim's doughnut & coffee, no other doughnut & coffee combo will do...(I think y'all are taking ye olde colony back--there are certainly enough Canadian license plates on both gulf and atlantic coasts during the winter.  (They drive ever so carefully, like the midwesterners;  quite atypical.))  Besides, is it shame on Tim or shame on Dave (or is it no longer Tim/Dave (of Wendy's fame))?  P.S.  Are you tweaking that pargraph?  That way I'll ponder what I wish to tackle next.--Mia-Cle 20:23, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Upon further reflection, I think we went through all that work for nothing. I have absolutely no idea what, if anything, the issue of dispute was. I think that some POV-pushers were just trying to stir the pot. Right now I have this in there, which is going to be my edit...
 * An emergency motion to restore the feeding tube was filed by Barbara Weller, the Schindlers' co-attorney who stated that 20 minutes before the tube was removed on March 18, 2005, and in response to their attempts to coach her, "she managed to articulate the first two vowel sounds, first articulating AHHHHHHH and then virtually screaming WAAAAAAAA." Schiavo had been unable to speak since her heart attack in 1990. Weller asserted that she had told Terri that she would die unless she said, "I want to live." The alleged incident occurred only in the presence of family members and has not been independently confirmed. The police officer stationed outside the room said she could not recall hearing the vocalization. Judge George Greer said that Schiavo's utterances came only after being touched, which was consistent with evidence presented in 2002. "All of the credible medical evidence this court has received over the last five years is that this is not a cognitive response, but rather something akin to a person jerking his/her hand off a hot stove long before he/she has thought about it," Greer wrote.
 * Which is just the God's honest truth, no more, no less. I feel dirty after all that work, cheap and used like a powder-blue tuxedo on a luckless virgin's prom night. I really wish these POV people would stop pushing nonsense, like "if we can't say it happened, by golly, then it surely did!" So, sorry for taking you through that whole jumping through hoops. I think that my plan may have been just to humour them or something, or take their grievances seriously in all fairness... this was the original complaint: "POV with respect to "alleged incident". Remove "alleged" as the incident was audio-taped. What's disputed is whether Terri's vocalizations were consistent or inconsistent with a finding of PVS, with the court finding these vocalizations were consistent with PVS." -- it turns out the audiotape never existed. My problem was that it's presented as fact that it happens, which it could be, or could not be. I don't know and don't want us to pass judgment either way. I think at some point we became sidetracked by shenanigans and nitpickery and ended up revising something that, in the end, did not need revising at all. Wjbean said this before re: all the disputes, "Around and around and around we spin with feet of lead and wings of tin." Which is a damn apposite observation, if one were to ask me. We've become so spun up that we're revising revisions of rejected revisions that don't exist. Cripers on a stick.
 * And by the way, I think you're invading us back, you know. I see these senior drug trips come up here. All the time. "Oh, let's go get price-capped medicine!" they say, and then they come. So it's like an old folks swap. Ours can't take the cold, yours can't the monopolistic control of pharmaceuticals. Socialism, it seems, has its advantages (what's with very large, sparsely populated, frigid northern countries and collectivism, anyway?) Professor Ninja 05:04, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm, and I have this (okay, so there's only so many indents i'm willing to take), which was the compromised compromised compromise that shouldn't rile anyone or, conversely, should reasonably please both sides (and it makes me happy b/c the affidavit isn't occuring in a vacuum). With links to the motion/affidavits and order in question.
 * Terri Schiavo's cognitive abilities continued to be a disputed issue until the very end. After the feeding tube was removed in 2005, the Schindlers filed a series of motions, including an emergency motion for relief from judgment based upon the incapacitated's articulation of end-of-life wishes. Affidavits were provided by the Schindlers to substantiate their assertion that Mrs. Schiavo had cognitive interaction with others and that it was possible, with time, for Mrs. Schiavo's communication skills to improve. One affidavit was from Barbara Weller, attorney for the Schindlers. In it, Weller claimed that immediately prior to the removal of the feeding tube and while she was with Mrs. Schiavo, Weller took both of Mrs. Schiavo's arms and begged Mrs. Schiavo very hard to say that she wanted to live. Weller assserted that Mrs. Schiavo's response was to articulate "Ahhhhhhh" and to scream "Waaaaaaa." Weller viewed this as Mrs. Schiavo's attempt to say, "I want to live." The judge reviewed all the evidence presented by the Schindlers and found that this alleged vocalization and the proposed new therapy were not new and were insufficient to challenge the prior judgment.

Just wait until we have to use passports to cross the border...needing a passport to get to and from the Shaw Festival or gambling in Windsor, now there's a lovely traffic jam (or tailback, if you prefer your Britishisms) that I never want to get stuck in. The cold makes one more sensible? Hard to be revolutionary in a parka and boots?--Mia-Cle 14:14, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Let's try a few tweaks to that one; how's about something along the lines of...
 * Terri Schiavo's cognitive abilities continued to be disputed by the Schindlers until her death. [ed.: let's face it, they're still disputed.] After the feeding tube was removed in March, 2005, the Schindlers filed a series of motions, including an emergency motion for relief from judgment based upon the incapacitated's articulation of end-of-life wishes. Affidavits were provided by the Schindlers to substantiate their assertion that Mrs. Schiavo had cognitive interaction with others and that it was possible, with time, for Mrs. Schiavo's communication skills to improve. Two affidavits were provided by Barbara Weller, Schindler co-attorney and Suzanne Vitadamo [ed.: spelling?], Terri's [relative]. In these affidavits, Weller and Vitadamo asserted that immediately prior to the removal of the feeding tube and while she was with Mrs. Schiavo, Weller took both of Mrs. Schiavo's arms and begged Mrs. Schiavo very hard to say that she wanted to live. Weller and Vitadamo claim that Mrs. Schiavo's response was to articulate "Ahhhhhhh" and to scream "Waaaaaaa." They viewed this as Mrs. Schiavo's attempt to say, "I want to live." It should be noted that this incident occured only in the presence of Weller and Vitadamo, and has not been independently affirmed. For example, the affidavits assert that the vocalization was loud enough to alert the police officer posted outside the room; however the officer later stated she had no recollection of the event. The judge reviewed all the evidence presented by the Schindlers and found that this alleged vocalization and the proposed new therapy were insufficient to challenge the prior judgment.
 * How's that for you? I think it devacuumifies the entire thing rather nicely. (Perhaps an addition of a sentence concerning the new therapy?)
 * Perhaps you have a point about the cold; it does at least make one more pragmatic. Hunting mammoths and all (it gets bloody cold in Ottawa, it's situated in nature's wind tunnel, the valley.)
 * Works for me. It has my vote.  Bloody well done.  Nicely de-Hoovered.  Etc.  (It's too bad the ency. doesn't use real footnotes, as the bit about no independent confirmation would make an ideal footnote, oh well.)  I was trying to avoid the new therapy (alhtough it sounds like a great invention) b/c you then have to address how she lacked the cognitive function that would allow the whatever it was to work.  I'll check the affidavit/order later and think about a sentence.  But for right now, I like the paragraph.  Joy.
 * It's hard to want to be a revolutionary when the sun is sparkling off the bay/ocean (the who cares, let's go sailing, swimming, walking on the beach, eat, drink, be merry, do something egregiously healthy attitude kicks in; if you haven't noticed, most of the protestors down here tend to be from out-of-state, unless it's about Cuba.)  Remember, that when you're enjoying summer, it's 90-something degrees farenheit with 90 percent humidity here (and Ottawa is lovely in summer, I've been there a couple times).

nuclear option
mia-cle, question for you. I've been working on the nuclear option article and it keeps using the term 'supermajority' to describe the 60 out of 100 vote required to confirm an appointee through the Senate. Is 'supermajority' a legal term? or is it something that a wikipedian made up? it occurred to me that 'supermajority' is a bit of a POV that frames the 60 vote threshhold as too high to attain, superhuman strength, superman, etc, etc. Anyway, I was wondering if there was a legal term for the 60 vote minimum for the Senate. I'll be gone for much of the weekend, but will try and check in if I can. Thanks. FuelWagon 03:18, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

 * i'll check with some poli sci prof friends for an accurate answer, but my quick two cents is that it's not a legal term. the constitution refers to a two-thirds majority.  i'm guessing it was brought into the vernacular to distinguish the two-thirds majority from the simple majority.  i don't take it as being POV b/c it indicates that it requires more than a majority.  besides, the two-thirds majority is supposed to be a higher hurdle.  So, being a research geek at heart, i found this for you on the supermajority needed for impeachment.  it's from the brief for President Clinton for the senate trial (http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/clinton/clintonbrief.html).

 * Indeed, the two-thirds supermajority requirement is a crucial constitutional safeguard. Supermajority provisions are constitutional exceptions to the presumption that decisions by legislative bodies shall be made by majority rule. These exceptions serve exceptional ends. The two-thirds concurrence rule serves the indispensable purpose of protecting the people who chose the President by election. By giving a "veto" to a minority of Senators, the Framers sought to ensure the rights of an electoral majority -- and to safeguard the people in their choice of Executive. Only the Senate and only the requirement of a two-thirds concurrence could provide that assurance.

 * Anyway, i'll let you know what the profs say. have a great weekend.  --Mia-Cle 20:47, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Hello MIA-CLE (I'm a retired air traffic controller, and it makes my teeth hurt to see the mixed case). It's not just Congress. If memory serves, Roberts Rules of Order also refers to super-majority (if not in name, certainly in process), and as I recall, there are generally only two types of plurality—simple majority and two-thirds majority. Of course Congress has their own rules of order which in some cases differ widely from Roberts. Oh, by the way, I'm originally from Jamestown, NY, just up the road from CLE about 100 miles or so, and I grew up in Hollywood, FL, just up the road from MIA by 20 or 30 miles, depending on where you measure from. I now live in Ormond Beach. Duckecho 02:47, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

 * hullo: yup, i agree re super-majority.  And, i know the area (Jamestown NY) -- used to go to Chatauqua, Peak n' Peak/Cockaigne.  Lovely area.  'Been around Hollywood (FL) a few times too (although, down here I've stopped measuring distances in miles, but in time (how long will it take in peak rush hour vs. normal traffic vs. any other time traffic...)).  I've never actually spent any time around Daytona -- I'd like to explore more of Florida, but I don't seem to have the time right now.

 * here's what someone who teaches at Ohio State said on the subject: "I think it's a "supermajority" simply because it's more than a simple majority which is required.  As to why it's 60...  or 67 in some cases -- it's a question of what we're considering, right?  If you're talking about a majority needed to override a veto -- or make a bill "veto-proof" then it's one thing but if we're talking about in-house (or senate as the case may be) rules about how to end a filibuster -- that's a decision that was made by the Senate for itself.  There's no "law" -- it's operating rules for the chamber -- and they can change it anytime they want.  But anything that isn't a "simple majority" would be a "super majority" -- that's my understanding."--Mia-Cle 23:39, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

The great court case
I did the docket search for the great "I did better than the governor" court case that GW keeps baying about and read it over. I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but did I read it right? I see a filing in which the petitioner failed to file in the proper form at least twice, missed at least two deadlines, and the court never got around to finding on the merits of the filing but spent its time on the faulty procedure. Am I right? His big 4-3 loss wasn't even on the issues?

What is he so proud of? If I'm reading that right, I'm going to have some fun with him.

By the way, if you ever do come up to the DAB area, let me know—we'll have a cup. email me at: duckecho@gmail.com Duckecho 03:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

 * that's the way I read it--never made it to the merits of the case b/c of procedural difficulties. however, this is only reading the docket, so one cannot know what the court said in its entirety.  being a lawyer, I thought it might come off as snobbish and establishment-oriented if I pointed out these problems.   did you look up just the case name or do a name (party) search?  you can also search the florida district courts of appeal online dockets too (this is just useful in general).  online sunshine, it's a wonderful thing for the public.  you gotta love fla.  and yes, 'will give a call if i ever trek out of my bit o' paradise :-)  --Mia-Cle 16:19, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Mediation
Unfortunately, no. It may need someone (care to volunteer) other than me to jump on and post their support there. Failing that, I'm thinking we're going to need to move to arbitration. Duckecho's trying but.... On a lighter note, Gordon's been behaving himself on the Government involvement in the Terri Schiavo case page, and we're working to bring it up to snuff. I'd like to see it at the level that it's an asset to a 1st or 2nd yr law student. Care to jump in?--ghost 21:04, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

"Always nice to know who is suing whom for what." LOL, yeah. I have fond memories of going to the baseball field as a kid and hearing the vendors hawk, "..can't tell your players from your umps without a program..." I feel we all need a program. *sigh* --ghost 12:36, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 Vote - I am tiring of mediation, and hope we fix the problem soon: This may work '

 * Generic Updates Message to other participants: I have imitated Uncle Ed's Q & A method and tried to augment it, and I have declared a tentative (minor) success on the first of seven questions I've presented, thanks to teamwork of many of you in the past, some named in that question. Most of all of other six "Vote on these" items are valid concerns, shared by all, even if we don't agree to the answers. So, I'm asking you all to review and vote on the lingering issues. Also, Wagon has suggested we get both guidelines and examples (role model was the term he used). We all know the rules, but I found one example of a controversial topic that simply shared the facts in a cold, dry method: The Slavery  article neither supports nor opposes slavery: It is "just the facts." Thus, I hope the answers I gave to the questions I proposed were correct and just the facts, without an appearance of POV. "Have faith in me," I say (imitating Uncle Ed's similar claim), and I haven't failed yet -the one time I tried: In the http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Abortion and http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Abortion, I brought peace, so I expect my method will work here too. So, get on over to  The Mediation Voting Center, and vote, for Gordon's sake: I have voted, and so can you.-- GordonWattsDotCom  04:50, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

The Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a national park in southwestern Uganda. It is part of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and is situated along the Democratic Republic of the Congo border next to the Virunga National Park and on the edge of the Albertine Rift. Composed of 321 km2 of both montane and lowland forest, it is accessible only on foot. It is a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization-designated World Heritage Site.

Species diversity is a feature of the park. It provides habitat for 120 species of mammals, 350 species of birds, 310 species of butterflies, 27 species of frogs, chameleons, geckos, and many endangered species. Floristically, the park is among the most diverse forests in East Africa, with more than 1,000 flowering plant species, including 200 species of trees and 104 species of ferns. The northern (low elevation) sector has many species of Guineo-Congolian flora, including two endangered species, the brown mahogany and Brazzeia longipedicellata. In particular, the area shares in the high levels of endemisms of the Albertine Rift.

The park is a sanctuary for colobus monkeys, chimpanzees, and many birds such as hornbills and turacos. It is most notable for the 400 Bwindi gorillas, half of the world's population of the endangered mountain gorillas. Fourteen mountain gorilla groups live in four different sectors of Buhoma, Ruhijja, Rushaga and the Nkuringo in the districts of Kanungu, Kabale and Kisoro respectively, all under the management of Uganda Wildlife Authority.

History
In 1932, two blocks of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest were designated as Crown Forest Reserves. The northern block was designated as the "Kayonza Crown Forest Reserve", and the southern block designated as the "Kasatora Crown Forest Reserve". These reserves had a combined area of 207 km2. In 1942, the two reserves were combined and enlarged, then renamed the Impenetrable Central Crown Forest. This new protected area covered 298 km2 and was under the joint control of the Ugandan government's game and forest departments.

In 1964, the reserve was designated as an animal sanctuary to provide extra protection for its mountain gorillas and renamed the Impenetrable Central Forest Reserve. In 1966, two other forest reserves became part of the main reserve, increasing its area to almost 321 km2. The park continued to be managed as both a game sanctuary and forest reserve.

In 1991, the Impenetrable Central Forest Reserve, along with the Mgahinga Gorilla Reserve and the Rwenzori Mountains Reserve, was designated as a national park and renamed the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. It covered an area of 330.8 km2. The national park was declared in part to protect a range of species within it, most notably the mountain gorilla. The reclassification of the park had a large impact on the Batwa pygmy people, who were evicted from the forest and no longer permitted to enter the park or access its resources. Gorilla tracking became a tourist activity in April 1993, and the park became a popular tourist destination. In 1994, a 10 km2 area was incorporated into the park and it was inscribed on the World Heritage List. The park's management changed when Uganda National Parks, since renamed the Uganda Wildlife Authority, became responsible for the park. In 2003, a piece of land next to the park with an area of 4.2 km2 was purchased and incorporated into the park.

In March 1999, a force of 100–150 former Rwandan Interahamwe guerrillas infiltrated across the border from the DRC and kidnapped 14 foreign tourists and their Ugandan guide from the park headquarters, eventually releasing six and murdering the remaining eight with machetes and clubs. Several victims were reportedly tortured, and at least one of the female victims was raped. The Ugandan guide was doused with gasoline and lit on fire. The Interahamwe attack was reportedly intended to "destabilize Uganda" and frighten away tourist traffic from the park, depriving the Ugandan government of income. The park was forced to close for several months, and the popularity of the gorilla tours suffered badly for several years, though attendance has since recovered due to greater stability in the area. An armed guard also now accompanies every tour group.

Geography and climate

Kabale town to the south-east is the nearest main town to the park, 29 km away by road. The park is composed of two blocks of forest that are connected by a corridor of forest. The shape of the park is a legacy of previous conservation management, when the original two forest blocks were protected in 1932. There is agricultural land where there were previously trees directly outside the park's borders. Cultivation in this area is intense.

The park's underlying geology consists of Precambrian shale phyllite, quartz, quartzite, schist, and granite. The park is at the edge of the Western Rift Valley in the highest parts of the Kigezi Highlands, which were created by up-warping of the Western Rift Valley. Its topography is very rugged, with narrow valleys intersected by rivers and steep hills. Elevations in the park range from 1190 to 2607 m above sea level, and 60 percent of the park has an elevation of over 2000 m. The highest elevation is Rwamunyonyi Hill at the eastern edge of the park. The lowest part of the park is at its most northern tip.

The forest is an important water catchment area. With a generally impermeable underlying geology where water mostly flows through large fault structures, water infiltration and aquifers are limited. Much of the park's rainfall forms streams, and the forest has a dense network of streams. The forest is the source of many rivers that flow to the north, west, and south. Major rivers that rise in the park include the Ivi, Munyaga, Ihihizo, Ishasha, and Ntengyere rivers, which flow into Lake Edward. Other rivers flow into Lakes Mutanda and Bunyonyi. Bwindi supplies water to local agricultural areas.

Bwindi has a tropical climate. Annual mean temperature ranges from a minimum of 7 to 15 C to a maximum of 20 to 27 C. Its annual rainfall ranges from 1400 to 1900 mm. Peak rainfall occurs from March to April and from September to November. The park's forest plays an important role in regulating the surrounding area's environment and climate. High amounts of evapotranspiration from the forest's vegetation increase the precipitation that the region outside the park receives. It also lessens soil erosion, a serious problem in south-western Uganda. It lessens flooding and ensures that streams continue to flow in the dry season.

Biodiversity

The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is old, complex, and biologically rich. Diverse species are a feature of the park, and it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its ecological importance. Among East African forests, Bwindi has some of the richest populations of trees, small mammals, birds, reptiles, butterflies, and moths. The park's diverse species are partly a result of the large variations of elevation and habitat types in the park, and may also be because the forest was a refuge for species during glaciations in the Pleistocene epoch. The park's forests are afromontane, which is a rare vegetation type on the African continent. Located where plain and mountain forests meet, there is a continuum of low-altitude to high altitude primary forests in the park, one of the few large tracts of East African forest where this occurs. The park has more than 220 tree species, and more than 50% of Uganda's tree species, and more than 100 fern species. The brown mahogany is a threatened plant species in the park.

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is important for the conservation of the afromontane fauna, especially species endemic to the Western Rift Valley's mountains. It is thought to have one of the richest faunal communities in East Africa, including more than 350 bird species and more than 200 butterfly species. There are an estimated 120 mammal species in the park, of which 10 are primates, and more than 45 are small mammals. Along with mountain gorilla, species in the park include common chimpanzee, L'Hoest's monkey, African elephant, African green broadbill, and cream-banded swallowtail, black and white colobus, red-tailed monkeys, vervets, the giant forest hog. The fish species in the park's rivers and streams are not well known.

Mountain gorillas
The park is inhabited by about 459 individual mountain gorillas as per the last 2019 Gorilla Census (Gorilla Fund) (Gorilla beringei beringei), known as the Bwindi population, which makes up almost half of all the mountain gorillas in the world. The rest of the worldwide mountain gorilla population lives in the nearby Virunga Mountains. A 2006 census of the mountain gorilla population in the park showed that its numbers had increased modestly from an estimated 300 individuals in 1997, to 320 individuals in 2002 to 340 individuals in 2006, and 400 in 2018. Poaching, disease and habitat loss are the greatest threat to the gorillas.

Research on the Bwindi population lags behind that of the Virunga National Park population, but some preliminary research on the Bwindi gorilla population has been carried out by Craig Stanford. This research has shown that the Bwindi gorilla's diet is markedly higher in fruit than that of the Virunga population, and that the Bwindi gorillas, even silverbacks, are more likely to climb trees to feed on foliage, fruits, and epiphytes. In some months, the Bwindi gorilla diet is very similar to that of Bwindi chimpanzees. It was also found that Bwindi gorillas travel farther per day than Virunga gorillas, particularly on days when feeding primarily on fruit than when they are feeding on fibrous foods. Additionally, Bwindi gorillas are much more likely to build their nests in trees, nearly always in Alchornea floribunda (locally, "Echizogwa"), a small understory tree.

The mountain gorilla is an endangered species, with an estimated total population of about 650 individuals. There are no mountain gorillas in captivity, but during the 1960s and 1970s, some were captured to start captive breeding.

Conservation
The park is owned by the Uganda Wildlife Authority, a parastatal government body. The park has total protection, although communities adjacent to the park can access some of its resources.

The areas bordering the park have a high population density of over 300 PD/km2. Some of the people who live in these areas are among the poorest people in Uganda. The high population and poor agricultural practices place great pressure on the Bwindi forest, and are one of the biggest threats to the park. Ninety percent of the people are dependent on subsistence agriculture, as agriculture is one of the area's few ways of earning income.

Prior to Bwindi's gazetting as a national park in 1991, the park was designated as a forest reserve, and regulations about the right to access the forest were more liberal and seldom enforced. Local people hunted, mined, logged, pit sawed, and kept bees in the park. It was gazetted as a national park in 1991 because of its rich biodiversity and threats to the integrity of the forest. Its designation as a national park gave the park higher protection status. State agencies increased protection and control of the park. Adjacent communities' access to the forest immediately ended. This closing of access caused large amounts of resentment and conflict among these local communities and park authorities. The Batwa, an ethnic group that had relied on the forest, were badly affected. The Batwa fished, harvested wild yams and honey, and had ancestral sites within the park. Despite the Batwa people's historical claim to land rights and having lived in the area for generations without destroying the area's ecosystem, they did not benefit from any national compensation scheme when they were evicted. Non-Batwa farmers who had cut down the forested areas in order to cultivate them, received compensation and their land rights were recognised. People have lost livestock and crops from wildlife, and there have been some human deaths. The habituation of gorillas to humans in order to facilitate tourism may have increased the damage they do to local people's property because their fear of people has decreased.

Justin Rohrwasser
Hello - I know you're currently on a temporary block but in case you do come back and see this, I was able to do some digging and found this article about Justin Rohrwasser, where he explicitly denounces the III Percenters and explains that he got the tattoo before the group was formed. Hopefully that clears the air about that issue. I'm sorry we weren't able to figure this out before the ARV report was acted on. ThadeusOfNazerethTalk to Me! 04:16, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

So now that he is an NFL player he renounces his choices? Does that mean that he doesn't have the tattoo? The "group was formed" in 2008. Rohrwasser is 23 years old. if "he got the tattoo before the group was formed," that would put him at about 11 or 12 years old when he got the tattoo. Also, this article demonstrates that the idea that "he got the tattoo before the group was formed" is a lie: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/patriots-draft-pick-justin-rohrwasser-says-he-will-cover-up-tattoo-image-tied-to-far-right-organization/

Face it, you are covering up for a white supremacist. Good job, Thaddeus.

Season 2
I took away the second season stuff. It didn't seem to have a point. It can go back when the Season 2 titles are confirmed.

Season 1 Removal
I don't think we need a Season 1 subheading for this article. At the following website you can view summaries of each of the episodes in the series.

[TV Tome]'s episode list

I don't want to be so forward as to suddenly delete it, and I also wonder where the line is as far as "what should be in a Wikipedia artile" vs. "what can just be linked to".

Update: I deleted the episode listing, since it may mean someone would have to write 52 episode summaries, and they can just be found at another site. I think it's too much info to manage. But after reading my reasons, if anyone thinks it's better to have the episode guide, then go ahead and roll it back.

what are all the spells there is in the mamodo world
i want to know what are all the spells like the ZAKER and ZAKERGA. Pleaze reply with all the info and the spells to kirara_inuyasha_rules@hotmail.com

Ok first of all it is not Xakerga it is Zakeruga! Lol and I know ALOT OF SPELLS SO I WILL WRITE MOST OF THEM (go here to see somemore (I will add more all the time) zatchbell.bravehost.comlink title)

More At The Website!!!!!!

Just added stuff.
I've added the spells for Zatch, Brago, Kanchome, and Tia. I also added Hyde and Reycom but I couldn't find last names of Eido and Hosokawa or their names in japanese. I know they don't give a lot of information but I thought I should of done it. I didn't put anything for Umagon/Ponygon because I didn't want to spoil it for some people.

Sherry or Sherrie
I think it should be spelled Sherry because it is usually referred in that spelling.

Yes, but my closed captioning refer's her name as Cheri, and Zaker as Zacare. I wonder why? You could at least refer to the closed captioning names as they go on.

Closed captioning is now always correct. Also the official website uses the spelling Sherry.

Manga
I think there should be a small section talking about the english and japanese manga. How many volumes are out etc.

Megumi
Isn't Megumi age is 16?

Talk:Mary Higgins Clark

Comment
I have to write a research paper for my pre-ap english class and I have not found sufficient information on Mary Higgins Clark. If anyone knows any good sites for information on her, please help!

He Sees You When You're Sleeping
Is there a reason why this is on the list twice? Anchoress 03:06, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Uncertainty about year of birth
The year of birth varies between the translations of the article. Search the web doesn't quickly resolve the issue either. She seems to be born somewhere between 1926 en 1931. A reliable source is needed. Matthijs Sypkens Smit, 24 October 2006.

Clark's autobiography lists her birth year as 1927. Karanacs 16:04, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

GA Review comments
I have just a few minor corrections of note. In the Books section:
 * 1) Voices in the Coal Bin should be italicized in the 1993 listing for Milk Run and Stowaway.
 * 2) There is a missing closing paranthesis from the end of the listing for Mount Vernon Love Story. One should be listed after Aspire to the Heavens.

In the Television adaptations section:
 * 1) Clark's appearances are typed out slightly inconsistantly. Under Remember Me, the word "appears" is capitalized while under While My Pretty One Sleeps it is not. Also the word "starring" is capitalized under A Cry in the Night.
 * 2) Clark's first and maiden name are used twice in this section. In the rest of the article, save the very first mention, only her last name has been used. This should be edited to remove those two usages for consistancy.

I have a few suggestions as well.
 * 1) I would move the short stories out of the Books section completely to a separate section or subsection.
 * 2) There should be a wikilink to the article on True Confessions.

Otherwise, I will say that the article is very sound in writing. As a reader of her books, I found the whole article interesting to read, easy to follow and well written. I will pass your GA nomination and make the few minor corrections I listed above. Imzadi1979 07:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Reversions of changes from IPs beginning with 214
I have twice reverted almost identical changes from IP addresses. This is due primarily to the changes introducing violations of the WP:MOS. As this article is a Good Article, we need to be very careful that we do not willfully violate the standards. To that end, please do not add the following: Thanks. Karanacs 21:58, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Single-year wikilinks (e.g. 1949), per Manual of Style (links)
 * references to the subject of the article as "Mary" or "Higgins" or "Mary Higgins" or even "Mary Clark", per WP:MOSBIO
 * Don't insert line breaks between the starting tag and its text, as this can confuse future editors.
 * It is acceptable to spell out numbers that are two words or fewer.

We'll Meet Again
They made a film version - made-for-TV, I think - of We'll Meet Again. I am watching it this very second. It stars Laura Leighton and Brandy Ledford and was directed by Michael Storey. It goes for 100 minutes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.3.37 (talk) 18:12, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

2004 You Belong to Me
I believe 2004 You Belong to Me needs to be removed. I believe the 1998 You Belong to Me is the correct one. Mommadealio (talk) 03:19, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

"divorced or annulled"
Unless annulment is a civil legal term, we can presume her second marriage was annulled, since she remarried, which would be illegal otherwise. Given her involvement in her religion and the award from the Pope, can we presume it was also annulled in a religious court? And is that relevant to a Wiki article? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 01:45, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes, annullment is a legal term and is not the same as a divorce. She could remarry after either an annullment or divorce (or, of course, the death of her spouse). We should never presume in an encyclopedia. It may have been the case that she got a civil divorce and a religious annullment. In any case, since we don't know which, it's arguably better to say nothing, and it doesn't seem like a critical detail. I reworded the section to eliminate the mention of how her second marriage ended. Vroo (talk) 06:43, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * thanks. and I meant "was divorced" instead of "was annulled", but you were too good to mention it. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 04:49, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Mary Higgins Clark award
Simon and Schuster has continued to sponsor the Mary Higgins Clark award past its original 10-year time frame. Should the reference to the 10-year window just be deleted, or should the extension be noted? (The winners and nominees can be found in The Edgars database, but I haven't found a statement by S&S or MWA about how long they expect to continue.) Joecipsurprise (talk) 21:14, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

No response in over a week, so I just deleted the reference. Joecipsurprise (talk) 18:43, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
