Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Furrykef

furrykef
final (20/1/0) ending 23:30 April 25 2005 (UTC)

furrykef has been a user since July 2003 and has over 2600 edits, with around 75% of them in the last 9 months. He's active on talk pages and in the Wikipedia namespace, with contributions ranging from VFD to manual-of-style-related stuff. I've also noticed him fixing vandalism on articles on my watchlist. He says he doesn't use edit summaries as much as he should, but a cursory look as his contributions reveals he's being modest. I feel that his seniority and the breadth of his contributions make him an ideal candidate. Additionally, he is a sysop on Wikibooks and has experience, both technical and non-technical, with many other wiki projects. CryptoDerk 23:29, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. I'd probably mostly do boring stuff like knocking redirects out of the way when moving pages. I could assist in arbitrating edit wars and such when I find them, but that's pretty rare (though somebody could pull them to my attention if they like). In short, I expect to use my powers only when I have to, although I probably will look through the requests for sysop attention (well, the pages linked to from there) and such from time to time.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. Usually when I write, as opposed to fix what I come across, it's usually about something pretty obscure while still perhaps notable. So I might be more pleased at that fact than any of the individual articles. I suppose I'm also proud of the large number of typographical errors I have corrected at Wikipedia, though I'm usually annoyed at the errors themselves ;)
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and will deal with it in the future?
 * A. No, I rarely come across editing conflicts, much less become involved, nor has anybody ever taken issue with me. I expect that should somebody try to pick a fight with me, I'd probably just ignore them (unless they start interfering with other things). I do occasionally feel stress at Wikipedia, often when I correct one typo too many for the day, and I might write something (never anything personal or directed at anybody in particular) to indicate this in the edit summary -- like "learn to spell". This has happened much less often recently and I usually just leave the summary blank when I feel like doing this. Other than that I never really became irate at Wikipedia except with this issue over templates in MediaWiki 1.3 which I've long since gotten over. And I certainly keep any issues I may have separate from actual Wikipedia content -- I take that side of it very seriously.

Biffco

Biffco is a music production and songwriting team from Brighton, England, formed by Richard "Biff" Stannard, Julian Gallagher and Ash Howes. The group have worked with a number of high-profile artists, including Kylie Minogue, One Direction, Atomic Kitten, Ellie Goulding, Leona Lewis, Little Mix, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Will Young. They are also largely responsible for the rise of the Spice Girls, Five, and East 17. So far, Biffco have had 41 hit singles, including nine number-ones. Stannard and Howes also worked as music directors and show song producers on The X Factor since 2010.

Richard "Biff" Stannard
Richard "Biff" Frederick Stannard was born in 1966. His breakthrough in the music industry came with English boyband East 17. Stannard met singer and songwriter Tony Mortimer and introduced him to music manager Tom Watkins, who Stannard was dating at the time. Stannard went on to be the executive producer of East 17's debut album, Walthamstow (1992), and produced two songs for the follow-up album, Steam (1994).

In 2010, he founded the label Major Label with Adam Clough and Paul Smith. Their first signing was English synthpop duo Hurts in 2009.

Junior doctor

In the United Kingdom, junior doctors are qualified medical practitioners working whilst engaged in postgraduate training. The period of being a junior doctor starts when they qualify as a medical practitioner following graduation with a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery degree and start the UK Foundation Programme. It culminates in a post as a consultant, a general practitioner (GP), or becoming a SAS Doctor, such as a specialty doctor or Specialist post.

The term junior doctor currently incorporates the grades of Foundation doctor, Core Trainee (in some specialties, such as surgery, medicine, and psychiatry), and Specialty registrar. Prior to 2007, it included the grades of Pre-registration house officer, Senior house officer and Specialist registrar. During this time, junior doctors will do postgraduate examinations to become members of a Medical royal college relevant to the specialty in which they are training, for example Membership of the Royal College of Physicians for doctors specialising in Internal medicine, Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons for doctors specialising in surgery or Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners for doctors specialising in family medicine. Doctors typically may be junior doctors for 8–20 years, and this may be extended by doing research towards a higher degree, for example towards a Doctor of Philosophy or Doctor of Medicine degree. In England there are around 71,000 junior doctors.

Revising the term "Junior Doctor"
There has been some controversy about the term "junior doctor", with many organisations and individuals voicing concern that it creates misconceptions about their work and does not do justice to the skills and experience acquired by these doctors, many of whom have been working for several years.

The British Medical Association (BMA) recently voted to discontinue the term “junior doctor” from all forms of communication at their 2023 Annual Representative Meeting (ARM). The motion was presented to the BMA Representative Body by Dr Sai Pillarisetti, a Foundation Year Doctor. After a debate and vote of members, it was passed in full and made BMA policy. References to junior doctors in BMA policies and communications are due to change to 'resident doctors' from September 2024.

An independent report for Health Education England (HEE) authored by Prof Scarlett McNally found more than 75% of those surveyed found the term "junior doctor" inappropriate, and almost half thought "trainee" should be avoided. The report recommended a shift towards "Postgraduate Doctors" instead.

Health Secretary Victoria Atkins faced criticism for using the term "doctors in training" as an alternative to "junior doctor" in a TV interview on BBC Breakfast. This was followed by a spokesperson for the Department of Health & Social Care stating they respected the profession's decision to move away from the term "junior doctor".

Working hours
In Europe and the US, there has been some reduction of the working hours of doctors who are in postgraduate training, in line with recommendations and legislation aimed at improving patient safety and doctors’ working conditions. In 1991, the government, the NHS and the British Medical Association (BMA) agreed a package of measures on working hours, pay and conditions which was called the New Deal for Junior Doctors. The Doctors' duty hours, which were felt to be excessive, were reduced to a maximum average of 56 hours actual work and 72 hours on call duty per week, although the change was not enforced until 1 December 2000. The European Working Time Directive (EWTD) sets out minimum health and safety requirements for the organisation of working time. The EWTD required the average working week to fall to 48 hours or less by 2009.

The shortening of junior doctors' working hours had implications for how training programmes are organised, especially for specialties such as surgery, where there was a tradition of maximising the hours of experience. Most studies that have looked at a reduction of junior doctors working hours have found either a beneficial or neutral impact in terms of measures of patient safety, clinical outcomes and postgraduate training.

The reduction in number of hours worked by junior doctors is one of the factors leading to blurring distinctions between them and other clinical professions such as nurse practitioners who also perform complex tasks.

Migration
An Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development survey in December 2015 showed that 35.4% of NHS doctors, 34,000, were born abroad compared with 5% in Italy, 10.7% in Germany and 19.5% in France. The UK was the second highest exporter of doctors, second only to Germany, with 17,000 British doctors working in other OECD countries. These figures are for all doctors in the NHS, not just junior doctors.

According to the Career Destination Report published by the UK Foundation Programme Office in 2019, an increasing number of UK junior doctors are seeking to take up work abroad. A report by the General Medical Council described a number of "push" and "pull" factors, including seeking a better work-life balance and wanting to take advantage of other opportunities abroad. Notably, most doctors who complete foundation training do eventually return to specialty training in the UK within three years.

Modernising medical careers
In 2005, postgraduate medical training was significantly changed in the Modernising Medical Careers programme. A two-year Foundation Programme was introduced for newly qualified doctors, the number of years of postgraduate training changed in some specialties, and doctors needed to decide which specialty to follow sooner after graduation.

There were later initiatives to engage junior doctors in NHS leadership; junior doctors are seen as essential to the drives to achieve efficiency savings in the NHS since 2010.

Pay and conditions
The NHS Careers web site stated in 2023:

As a doctor in training you’ll earn a basic salary, plus pay for any hours over 40 per week, a 37 per cent enhancement for working nights, a weekend allowance for any work at the weekend, an availability allowance if you are required to be available on-call, and other potential pay premia.

In Foundation training, you will earn a basic salary of £32,398 to £37,303 (from 1 April 2023).

If you’re a doctor starting your specialist training in 2023, your basic salary will be £43,923 to £63,152.

The basic salaries outlined are defined for a contract of 40 hours per week. Salaries are increased proportionally for any extra hours worked on average per week. Any hours outside "social" hours, namely 9pm and 7am, are supplemented by a 37% enhanced rate. Weekend duty is paid as a percentage bonus, up to 10% of the basic salary for working alternate (1 in 2) weekends. Other bonuses are also available for being non-resident on-call (being not physically on site, but available to answer calls or come in to hospital if necessary), for recruitment into academia and undersubscribed specialties, and for doctors living and working in London. In 2015, NHS Employers reported the total annual earnings for foundation doctors in England averaged just over £36,000. While the basic starting salary for doctors in specialty training was £30,002, NHS Employers were reporting that average earnings in this group of doctors was nearly £53,000.

In 2013, graduates who had studied medicine or dentistry were the most likely to be employed and had the highest average gross annual pay when compared to graduates who studied other subjects. In 2015, the average starting salary of junior doctors was the third-highest of all graduate starting salaries, after dentistry and chemical engineering. In 2016, it was reported that after 10 years of employment, medicine graduates had the highest salary of all degrees. Research conducted in December 2014 showed that across a range of other jobs, almost a third of graduate programmes at Britain's best known and leading employers paid starting salaries of more than £35,000; however, 83% of these leading employers reported that they were recruiting for jobs in London where salaries are higher, whereas NHS salaries are set on a nationwide basis, with doctors in London given an additional payment (£2,162 as of 2013) known as London weighting to compensate for increased cost of living.

Since 2007, junior doctors have been receiving below inflation salary rises. The independent Review Body on Doctors' and Dentists' Remuneration (DDRB) takes evidence from a range of sources and makes recommendations around pay; in 2015, they recommended a 1% pay increase. In 2005, the average starting earnings (salary plus bonuses) for a medical graduate was £32,086. In an inflationary environment, all wage-earners, including doctors, may find the buying power of their income becomes less; some describe this as a real-terms cut in pay of 15% between 2007 and 2014. In 2019, the British Medical Association came to an agreement with NHS England to settle for a guaranteed 2% annual pay rise until 2023.

In 2023, Junior doctors in England initiated their longest-ever strike, protesting against pay disparities within the National Health Service (NHS). The strike, which began on 13 July 2023, continued for five days and led to the postponement of appointments and disruptions in healthcare services. While emergency care remained accessible, patients were advised to seek alternative options for minor health concerns. The ongoing dispute revolved around the demand for a 35% pay increase to address below-inflation salary increments over the past 15 years. The impact on patient care, NHS costs, and waiting list reduction was a matter of significant concern.

Expenses
Doctors pay professional annual fees to maintain registration with the General Medical Council and medical indemnity cover. Junior doctors also incur costs associated with training courses, preparing for and sitting exams and college membership; training can be associated with £420-£3,000 of professional fees annually, depending on stage of training and level of income. English students embarking on a medical degree could in 2015 expect to pay £40,000 on university tuition fees alone. Student loans are available to meet these costs, with repayment starting as soon as individuals begin working as a junior doctor. University tuition in Scotland is free for students ordinarily resident in Scotland, and grants and loans are available to help with living costs.

Changes to working patterns of doctors meant there was no longer a requirement for first year junior doctors to be resident, and from 2008 free accommodation was no longer provided by employers. The British Medical Association said that this amounted to a £4,800 annual pay cut for those who might have previously lived at the hospital rather than independently, but the numbers of doctors involved was not clear. Ann Keen, Labour Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health Services, stated, "The provision of free accommodation for foundation year 1 doctors who are on call at night, is dependent on the contract of employment of the junior doctor, which is for agreement locally. The Junior Doctors Terms and Conditions of Service continue to provide that if a doctor is contractually required to live in hospital accommodation no charges should be made for the accommodation provided."

Prospects
The NHS Careers web site states:

Specialty doctors and specialist payscale

If you’re working as a specialty doctor you’ll earn a basic salary of £52,530 to £82,400. If you are a specialist grade doctor you'll earn a basic salary of £83,945 to £92,275.

Consultants

As a consultant from 1 April 2023, you'll earn a basic salary of £93,666 to £126,281 per year, depending on the length of your service. You may apply for local Clinical Excellence Awards and national Clinical Impact Awards (previously known as Clinical Excellence Awards). This is a competitive process which takes into account work that you do over and above delivering your basic job requirements. In addition, if you take on extra responsibilities, for example in management or education, you may expect to be paid more.

Consultants can also supplement their salary by working in private practice if they wish. The opportunities available will depend on their specialty areas and the time they wish to spend on this outside of their NHS contracted hours.

General practitioners

There are two contractual options for GPs. They can be:

1) independent contractors who are in charge of running their own practices as business either alone or in partnerships. They have autonomy in how services are delivered according to their contract with NHS England. In England, these GPs have increasing responsibility for the commissioning of hospital services for the community

2) salaried GPs who are employees of independent contractor practices or directly employed by primary care organisations. From 1 April 2023, the pay range for salaried GPs is £68,975 to £104,085.

Pension scheme
Junior doctors may pay into the NHS Pension Scheme, which from April 2015 has been a Career Average Revalued Earnings (CARE) scheme. The 2015 scheme involves paying towards a pension which will be based on the average of a member's pensionable earnings throughout their whole career, with a revaluation of active members benefits in line with the Consumer price index plus 1.5 per cent per annum. The 1995/2008 scheme is closed to new entrants.

Contract dispute in England
Since 2012, NHS Employers and the BMA had been in negotiation towards a new contract for junior doctors. These talks ran into serious problems when the Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt, appeared willing to impose items from the Conservative 2015 election manifesto upon junior doctors in England.

On 12 January 2016, Junior Doctors in England took part in the first general strike across the NHS, the first such industrial action in 40 years. Emergency care was still provided. There have been claims that the Medical Director of NHS England, Professor Sir Bruce Keogh, has used performance target levels to justify and encourage NHS Trusts to declare an emergency situation, forcing junior doctors to work despite the strike, a move which the BMA has condemned.

In September 2015, Hunt proposed new contracts for junior doctors which would scrap overtime rates for work between 7am and 10pm on every day except Sunday while increasing their basic pay in a move that Hunt said would be cost neutral, a claim the BMA say NHS Employers have been unable to support with robust data. In response, the doctor's union, the BMA, called for a strike, the first since the 1970s. The strike vote started on 5 November. In November 2015, the BMA balloted over 37,700 of their members in response to Hunt's contract proposals; 76% of eligible doctors voted, with 99.6% of doctors voting for action short of strike and 98% voting for all out strike. In November 2015, Hunt said he would offer a basic pay increase of 11% but still remove compensation for longer hours. On 19 November 2015, the result of the BMA strike ballot was announced, with more than 99% in favour of industrial action short of a strike, and 98% voting for full strike action. Hunt said the strike was "very disappointing", but declined the appeal for arbitration. He was criticized for failing to answer MP's questions about the strike, with his deputy claiming he was too busy preparing for the strike. Hunt eventually agreed to discussions overseen by Acas. After five days of talks between the government and BMA, Hunt withdrew his threat to impose a new contract without agreement, and the strike action that had been planned for December was suspended. The first day of strike action was called off hours before it was due to start (too late to avoid some disruption), with later days suspended.

On 24 December 2015, Dr Johann Malawana, leader of the BMA's junior doctors committee (JDC), gave a 4 January deadline for the talks to yield an acceptable outcome, or industrial action would be announced. An agreement was not reached by this deadline, and so the BMA announced that a strike would go ahead, blaming "the government's continued failure to address junior doctors’ concerns about the need for robust contractual safeguards on safe working, and proper recognition for those working unsocial hours". The first day of the strike went ahead on 12 January. Junior doctors again withdrew their labour for routine care on 10 February 2016, leading to the cancellation of around 3,000 elective operations.

Rest breaks
In a case involving University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust in July 2019, the Court of Appeal decided that the trust had breached the 2002 contract for junior doctors because their hours and rest periods had been underestimated by commercial software over some years. The case will affect other NHS employers and substantial arrears will be due.

Risks to patients
The period in August where there was a large changeover of hospital staff has sometimes been dubbed the "killing season" (due to a perception that there is an associated rise in the number of patient deaths). In 2009, research looking at emergency admissions to hospitals in England established that a small but statistically significant increase in patient mortality occurred during August. The limited data was collected retrospectively over an 8-year period, comparing two week-long blocks (one week prior to commencement, one week post commencement). The methodology meant that drawing firm conclusions was unwise with correlation not implying causation. In the month when junior doctors start working, when other factors are adjusted for, patients had a 6% increase in mortality. For patients admitted as an emergency who were not requiring surgery or suffering from cancer, the mortality rate increased by 7.86%.

Other concerns have been raised regarding mortality following admission to hospital at a weekend. A research paper published in 2012 looked retrospectively at data from 2009; the study observed an increase in 30-day mortality for people admitted to hospital on Saturday and Sunday, compared to mid-week days. The risk of dying in a hospital on Saturday or Sunday was actually less than on a weekday. The data in the study did not enable the authors to describe the cause of this so-called weekend effect. Subsequently, there has been considerable speculation around whether the availability of consultants was a factor. The authors of the paper have also openly criticised the conclusions drawn by the government and popular media on the paper, saying that to draw such conclusions as to associated decreased weekend staffing levels to increased mortality at 30 days post-admission would be "rash and misleading".

Health Education England produces reports on NHS trusts under “enhanced monitoring” by the General Medical Council, because of concerns from trainees. 20 of these were analysed by the Health Service Journal in 2020. Bolton NHS Foundation Trust and Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust featured prominently. Reports included consultants leaving junior doctors with insufficient support, bullying, reluctance to report concerns and IT problems. It has the power to withdraw trainees from trusts but this was only used once since the start of 2019.

Lassic (died 1863) also called, Las-sic, Las-Sic, Lasseck and Lassux in various military reports and newspaper articles at the time, was a Wailaki leader during the Bald Hills War.

Wailaki leader in the Bald Hills War
During the 1859-1862 period of the Bald Hills War, the Wailaki, especially Lassic's band, succeeded in driving many of the settlers out of their territory in southeastern and southwestern Humboldt County. This was despite the efforts of the local settler militia opposing them. Finally Federal troops began operating against them with the help of the locals. First Lieutenant, Joseph B Collins, of the Fourth Infantry reported his clash in 1861 with Lassic's band in the Kettenshaw Valley:

"June 16, attacked a rancheria near Kettenshaw Valley; killed 4 Indians. Corporal Larrabee, of the volunteers, wounded in the left arm by an arrow. This rancheria was occupied by Las-sic's band, probably the most desperate and troublesome Indians in the mountains. They have frequently been engaged in murdering whites, burning houses, and killing horses and cattle. I regret so few of them were killed, but they were constantly on the alert and could only be caught by following them day and night, the troops carrying their provisions and blankets on their backs. The attack was made near noon, and as be Indians were prepared for it, many of them escaped through the almost impassable bushes."

California Volunteers replaced the Federal troops after the beginning of the American Civil War and continued aggressive patrolling. Finally Lassic and his band were driven to surrender on July 31, 1862, to Captain Ketcham at Fort Baker, with thirty-two other Indians. Twelve more of his warriors came in on August 10. The 212 captured Indians at Fort Baker were sent to join 462 others at Fort Humboldt and held for a time in the makeshift prison created out on the Samoa Peninsula in Humboldt Bay. In September 834 Indians were then sent on the steamship SS Panama to the Smith River Indian Reservation near Crescent City.

However, in early October, Lassic and three hundred natives, mostly warriors, had escaped the Smith River Reservation, followed by the exodus of more natives from the reservation through November.

Newspaper and Official accounts
After Lassic's escape he moved down the Kalmath River to the mountains and returned to his homeland. There he continued to carry on a campaign of resistance against the settlers until he was eventually recaptured by local militia. On Saturday, January 3, 1863, the Weekly Humboldt Times, reported:

"All Right. --- We learn from Mr. Gilkey who arrived on Tuesday, from Long Valley, that the noted Indian Lassux, was in the hands of the whites at Fort Seward. He is probably in the spirit land before this. He was the head of the band taken from the vicinity of Fort Baker, last summer, to Smith River Reservation.  Not liking the grub set before him there by father Hansen, he led his band back to the land of pork and beef.  He will need no 'cast off garments' at the reservation he now inhabits."

Lassic with a number of his men were killed at Fort Seward. According to the January 23, 1863 Humboldt Times account they were being escorted to the Round Valley Reservation:

"but 'on the way they took cold and died.' This, at least, is the way we get the word. But knowing,them as we do, the animosity existing between these Indians and the whites inhabiting the region of the Humboldt mail route, and the numerous depredations supposed to have been committed by them, we suspect the 'cold' they died with was mainly cold lead."

An official report was made about the incident by Captain, C. D. Douglas, Commander of Fort Wright:

"FORT WRIGHT CAL., February 8, 1863.

Lieut. Col. R. C. DRUM,

 * Assistant Adjutant-General, Department of the Pacific:

SIR: I have the honor to report for the information of the general commanding the department that the band of Indians known as the Wylackees has killed a large number of horses and cattle on the settlements of this valley in the last month. They killed eight or nine head of horses, the property of Mr. Owens, a few days ago, and I have seen myself a number of cattle in the valley wounded by their arrows. Messrs. Owens and Eberlee came to me a few days ago and reported that the Indians had killed the above number of horses. I sent one of my sergeants with them to investigate the matter, and he reports that he saw the remains of what he supposed to be eight or nine horses; he also reports that he followed the Indians' trail from where they killed the horses to within a short distance of Eel River, and he thinks there were about forty Indians in the band. I have just been informed by Colonel Henley that five or six of the settlers followed this band of Wylackees last week, and he believes that a few of the band were killed. He did not inform me of the names of the settlers that went out. I request, therefore, to be instructed as to my duty in this matter, whether these men that killed the Indians should be arrested or let alone. I do not consider that I have any power to send out any troops from this post to capture, kill, or in any way punish these Indians, as I was not sent here for that purpose. But these Indians should be punished, as they are, and according to all reports always were, bad Indians.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

C. D. DOUGLAS,

 * Captain, Second Infantry California Volunteers, Comdg. Post."

Lucy Young's account
Many years later a different account of the killings of the forty Wailaki prisoners including Lassic was told by a Wailaki witness and relative of Lassic, Lucy Young:

"At last I come home. Mother at Fort Seward. Before I get there, I see big fire in lots down timber and treetops. Same time awful funny smell. I think someone get lots of wood.

I go on to house. Everybody crying. Mother tell me, "All our men killed now." She say white men there, others come from Round Valley, Humboldt County too, kill our old uncle, Chief Lassic, and all other men. Stood up about forty Inyan in a row with rope around neck. "What's this for?" Chief Lassic say. "To hang you dirty dogs," white men tell it. "Hanging, that's dogs death," Chief Lassic say. "We done nothing to be hung for. Must die, shoot us."

So they shoot. All our men. Then build fire with wood and brush. Inyan been cut for days. Never know it their own funeral fire they fix.

Build big fire, burn all them bodies. That's funny smell I smell before I get to house. Make hair raise on back of my neck. Make sick stomach too."

Talk:Diagnosis: Murder

Does anyone know what the location is that was used as the police headquarters in Diagnosis Murders? Been trying to find out but having no luck. –  Blue☆ Stars  83  20:57, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

No consensus to move. bd2412 T 15:09, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Diagnosis: Murder → Diagnosis Murder – News articles and books of 21st century either use or omit the colon. Examples of omission from non-primary sources:. Example of use:. Perhaps for easier usage, colon must be omitted. Also, neither an infobox image nor this screenshot have a colon. --Relisted. Cúchullain t/ c 19:03, 11 October 2013 (UTC) George Ho (talk) 04:04, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose: To me, it makes more sense (as an ordinary English phrase) with the colon present. A colon indicates equivalence, so "Diagnosis: Murder" means that the diagnosis is (that the cause of death was) murder. "Diagnosis Murder" doesn't seem to make sense. —BarrelProof (talk) 04:39, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * This is a television series, not a term. Also, this article doesn't mention the title's meaning, and neither do reliable sources. --George Ho (talk) 18:48, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Some of those sources that you cited are very low quality sources (such as this one). To me the current article title is natural. It is as if it is a quote from a form that is being filled out. Forms often have a list of 'tags' and a colon after each tag to show the value of the tag. Example: "Name: Bob Jones", "Age: 47", "Date of Birth: March 3, 1966", "Date of Death: June 2, 2013", "Diagnosis: Murder". With the colon removed, it doesn't seem like a properly-punctuated phrase that makes sense in English. I notice that some of the sources use a colon in this way in their headlines (e.g., this one and this one). However, I must admit that when I look at the links cited in the article (including the L.A. Times article that puts a colon after "Diagnosis" in its headline), the reliable sources seem to not include the colon when quoting the name of the show. The artwork seems to usually have an EKG signal line separating the two words, or to use different fonts or different colors to visually separate the two words – and that seems to serve a similar purpose as the colon, but they do not show an actual colon. As much as I hate it, as best I can tell, it appears to me that the name of the show is generally written without the colon in reliable sources. Because of this, I have just struck through my "oppose" above. —BarrelProof (talk) 23:25, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Oppose per WP:TITLECHANGES.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 13:03, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * How would eliminating the colon ruin the title's stability? --George Ho (talk) 15:15, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Well TITLECHANGES states "Changing one controversial title to another is strongly discouraged. If an article title has been stable for a long time, and there is no good reason to change it, it should not be changed."  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 18:02, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I rephrased the policy for grammar. By the way, you haven't explained why eliminating the colon is bad besides BarrelProof's reasoning and TITLECHANGES. Also, I've already pointed out news articles and books. Also, you haven't explain how the current title is stable. --George Ho (talk) 18:48, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't have to. The burden is on you to provide a decent arguement for moving it from its current title.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 07:50, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * As you quote, "Changing one controversial title to another is strongly discouraged." Well, is the current title controversial to you? If so, why? Otherwise, why else do you oppose the removal of the distracting colon? Shall I say that keyboard is important issue to the titling? Do you even type in the colon? --George Ho (talk) 17:32, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Personally, I find the name formatting very distracting when it does not include the colon, since – as I said above, it doesn't seem grammatically correct without the colon. But I have to admit that the reliable sources seem to not include the colon when quoting the name of the show. —BarrelProof (talk) 23:25, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Support The colon adds clarity, but sources seem to favor the form without. It's not our place to nitpick these sorts of stylistic choices. --BDD (talk) 21:36, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Suggest Prescription Murder instead. Technically, none of the sources use it, but I maintain it'd probably be a more interesting show: a dark comedy where Community General is the worst-ranked hospital in the city, full of curious characters having silly escapades and B-plots each episode, and no one suspects the bumbling Doctor Dick van Dyke might be the cause for the skyrocketing mortality rate.  A serial killer, van Dyke hides his murders behind a lovable air of harmlessness and incompetence, while secretly weeding out those he deems "unfit" in a variety of unlikely and morbidly humorous hospital "accidents."  I suppose the article would need to be reworked as well in the unlikely event others agree with this move.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:0:1003:1017:BAAC:6FFF:FE85:983E (talk) 00:27, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Riverside High School (Florida)

Riverside High School is a four-year secondary institution in Jacksonville, Florida. It was originally named after Confederate States of America general Robert E. Lee. Located in the Riverside and Avondale neighborhood, it is the second oldest high school in Jacksonville operating at its original location, after its traditional rival, Andrew Jackson High School. The name was changed to Riverside High School in 2021.

Riverside is part of the Duval County magnet school program. Eligible students at the school can earn concurrent credit through the Jacksonville Early College High School program. They receive high school credits from the school and college credit from Florida State College at Jacksonville (F.S.C.J) for the same courses.

Riverside students can also specialize in courses through the Engineering Academy or the Math and Science Magnet Program. In addition, there is a Liberal Arts curriculum. The Early College, Engineering, Math and Science, plus Liberal Arts courses of study are known as the school's four learning communities.

Riverside is one of 20 high schools in the Duval County Public Schools. Riverside, like all other district schools, is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

History
Architect Victor Earl Mark (1876–1948) designed Lee High School with William B. Ittner of St. Louis in 1926–27. Both architects also designed the similarly designed Andrew Jackson High School.

The school was dedicated to confederate general Robert E. Lee on his birthday, January 19, 1928. Jacksonville's three newly constructed high schools—Lee High, Andrew Jackson High, and Julia E. Landon High (named for a South Jacksonville teacher)—spread out students from the city's original whites-only high school, Duval High School (c. 1873–1927). Black students at the time attended Stanton High School, which moved to a new facility in 1953.

The main structure is notable for its beige bricks and top floor off-white stucco. It is framed by four gabled transepts, which in turn are framed by ground-to-roof stacks of alternating small and large cornerstones. The top floor stucco of the four transepts feature a coat of arms, in which a central figure reaches for a star on the left, while a tree occupies the right side. Also unique are the two front arch doorways, which sport an impressive amount of "radiating" stonework.

The main building has an auditorium and a large courtyard. A field house was added between the stadium and the back of the school in the 1940s. Later, a first floor addition on the original structure's right side accommodated a meeting room, a cafeteria expansion, and the boys' locker room. The basketball gym was built to the right of the school, and the shop and music buildings were located behind the original building to the left at end of Donald Street.

Around 1964, the school board converted Landon High School to a junior high school. This made Lee and Jackson the two oldest Jacksonville high schools operating at their original sites.

In 1965, a group of Lee students formed the band My Backyard. The band, led by singer Ronnie Van Zant, was renamed Lynyrd Skynyrd after coach Leonard Skinner sent guitarist Gary Rossington to the principal's office for wearing his hair long.

Lee underwent two desegregation cycles, with faculty integrated from 1968–71, then students in the 1971–72 school year.

In the early 1980s, the school constructed an outdoor pool between the gym and the original building. Before that time, the swim teams trained at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd Pool, located about a mile north. Lee Pool is used by the athletic teams and physical education classes during the school year. In the summer, it becomes a free public pool operated by the City of Jacksonville Parks & Recreation Department.

On November 24, 1986, Lee was ravaged by a fire that destroyed the library and many classrooms. The fire damage was estimated at $4.5 million. After the fire, the Robert E. Lee High School Restoration Committee was formed by Lee alumni to help raise money for restoration.

The cafeteria and the library were expanded during the restoration. In 1991, a new two-floor classroom building was built behind the original structure to accommodate the addition of Ninth Grade. Lee had been a three-year high school since its opening in 1927. Part of the old shop building was torn down to make way for the new two-floor building. The field house was also expanded in 1991.

Lee was one of 11 schools nationwide selected by the College Board for inclusion in the 2006-10 EXCELerator School Improvement Model program. The educational partnership, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, was designed to raise Lee's graduation rate and improve college readiness, especially among minority and low income students.

In 2010, Lee's engineering magnet program was recognized as a Model Academy by the National Career Academy Coalition (NCAC). Only 16 schools in the United States have earned this title.

The engineering program also earned two honors from the Florida Engineering Society (FES). Jeffrey G. Cumber was recognized as the 2010 Teacher of the Year, and Lee won the School of the Year title. Cumber and Lee High School respectively received $500 checks from the affiliated Florida Engineering Foundation (FEF).

Architecture
The campus reflects the Open Air architectural values of the Progressive Education Movement (1875–1955). The Progressives felt that schools should resemble the outdoors as much as possible. The numerous windows bring in a lot of natural light. So, the original building is less dependent on artificial lighting. This is one of the "green" advantages of historic buildings.

The original building's courtyard, roomy stairwells, and ample hallways give students a healthy amount of physical space. Before air conditioning was installed in the late 1980s, the natural ventilation helped the school "breathe." Students found the air temperature very comfortable from October to April. Lee was also given radiators for the winter. September and May were the only months when the heat and humidity were a consideration. The Open Air Style was a reaction to the dark, crowded, and poorly ventilated buildings that plagued poor school districts.

Claim to oldest high school in Jacksonville
Riverside, and Andrew Jackson are the two oldest Jacksonville high schools still operating at their original sites, with Stanton the oldest overall continuing secondary education institution in Jacksonville, starting as a Freedmen's Bureau-run school in 1868 for Black students. That facility moved from its original West Ashley Street Building to a new West 13th Street building in 1953.

Renaming
The school name was the source of considerable controversy as many found the use of the confederate general's name to be a symbol of white supremacy. By 2021 the school district's board of education began considering giving the school a different name. As a result, some residents argued against renaming. There was an online petition that, by March 25, 2021, got over 15,000 signatures asking for a name change.

In April 2021, Amy Donofrio, a Riverside teacher who co-founded a program promoting juvenile justice, EVAC Movement, was asked to take down a Black Lives Matter sign in her classroom. After complaining that the timing was retaliation for live streaming white members of community meetings making "questionable comments" about the name change, she was administratively reassigned. The Southern Poverty Law Center has filed a lawsuit against Duval County Public Schools.

The Duval County School Board decided on June 1, 2021, by a 5-2 vote, to rename Robert E. Lee High School "Riverside High School." The school board estimated renaming costs to be $366,302, with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Nike coming forward to pay for the change for the school's uniforms and other related items. The name change became official on August 3, 2021, seven days before the start of the 2021–2022 school year.

Enrollment
Total enrollment rose from 954 the first year to about 2000 in the 1950s. It generally declined to about 1,200 in the late 70s. It reached a low of 777 during the 1990–91 school year. After the incorporation of ninth grade in 1991–92, the total number of students slowly rose to a high of 1900 in the 2005-06 year. As of February 2011, a total of 1,732 students attended Lee.

The racial composition of the school has varied since full integration of Duval County began in the 1971–72 school year. Robert E. Lee became a majority Black school in the late 1980s. Then, it was majority White during the years 1991–96. It has been majority Black since 1996–97.

A total of 1829 students attended during the 2008–09 school year. Of that total, 63.6% were black, 23.3% were white, 6.5% were Hispanic, and 4.5% were Asian. One student was Native American and 36 were of unspecified ethnicity. The number of Asian students surpassed 50 in the 1992-93 year, but the group has fluctuated between a high of 82 and a low of 44.

Becca Hall

Becca Hall is a country residence situated in Aberford, Leeds, West Yorkshire, Yorkshire, at OS grid reference Lat.53:50:35N Lon.1:22:08W. It is situated on Becca Lane within the old Gascoigne estate. The house is a Grade II listed building.

Etymology
The name of Becca Hall is first attested in 1189, in the cartulary of Nostell Priory, simply as Becca. This is thought to come from the Old English word bæce ('beck'), itself a loan-word from Old Norse bekkr (meaning the same). The beck in question is probably the Cock Beck. From 1244 into at least the eighteenth century, however, the name is usually attested in forms with a second element derived from Old English haga ('hedge, enclosure'), in spellings such as Bethaye, Bekhaw, and Bekhaghe. Thus the name in this form meant 'enclosure by the beck'. The name Beckhay Hall is first attested in 1716. The modern form Becca Hall is a reduced form of this name.

History
The house was built in 1783 for William Markham, the son of William Markham, Archbishop of York and the private secretary to Warren Hastings. It descended in the Markham family for several generations until it was sold in 1894 by Ronald Markham to Arthur Thomas Schreiber, who lived there until his death in 1902. His widow remained at the hall until her own death in 1907, when it was sold to a Bradford wool magnate Frederick James Lund, who lived there until 1922. It was then sold to Thomas Percy Fawcett, a maltster from Castleford, whose family owned the house until 1949, when it was bought by the Thompson family. In 1958 it was bought by the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB).

Following the privatisation of the UK electricity industry in 1989, ownership of the property passed to the National Grid Company. It was used to house the Leeds Grid Control Centre for the UK's electricity transmission network from 1958 until its operational closure in 1997. Advances in communications technology (including remote substation operation) during this period reduced the requirement for regional control centres. By the time of its operational closure in 1997, the entire electricity transmission network in England and Wales could be controlled from a single control room anywhere in the country. Later used as a control centre, it performed as one of the control centres for the Dinorwig hydroelectric storage facility in North Wales.

After being relinquished by the National Grid, the house passed through the hands of a series of would-be developers with various plans, all of which came to nothing. An application for planning permission to develop the building for use as a training centre was refused in September 2004, on the grounds that the development would be unsustainable and would affect local use of the area due to parking requirements. During this period it was however sometimes used for social functions.

In 2011 the house was placed on the market again, and this time was bought by Lara Grylls, the sister of Bear Grylls, and her husband James Fawcett, great-grandson of its previous owner in the 1920s. The couple demolished the extension that had been added by the CEGB to the back of the building (dubbed by them "the tumour"), which had included office buildings, control centres, bunkers and a tower, amounting to four times the size of the original house in all. The demolition process turned out to be self-financing, due to the value of the electrical scrap that was recovered, and even generated a small surplus, which paid for the reinstatement of period windows and chimneys.

Pollution levels
During 2000, Becca Hall was used to measure background levels of air pollution. The site's rural nature places it 1.2 mi due west from the A1 and over 3.5 mi due east from the edge of the Leeds urban boundary, and so was ideal for that purpose. The only pollutant recorded was ground-level ozone, compared to levels of SO2, NO2, and PM10s at a site next to the A1.

Sylvia Frumkin

Sylvia Frumkin is the pseudonym given for the schizophrenic subject of Susan Sheehan's 1982 Pulitzer Prize-winning biography Is There No Place on Earth for Me? first published serially in The New Yorker. A quotation from the book, giving some of her dialog, gives some of the general flavor of her behavior:

 * "There's no such thing as schizophrenia, there's only mental telepathy. I once had a friend named Camilla Costello. She was Abbott and Costello's daughter. She said to me, 'You know, Sylvia, I have a lot of friends, but you're my best friend.' I'm working here. I'm an intern at Creedmoor. I'm in the Pentecostal Church, but I'm thinking of changing my religion. I have a dog at home. I love instant oatmeal. When you have Jesus, you don't need a diet. Mick Jagger wants to marry me. I want to get out the revolving door. With Jesus Christ, anything is possible. I used to hit my mother. It was the hyperactivity from all the cookies I ate. I'm the personification of Casper the Friendly Ghost. I used to go outside asking the other kids to be my friend when I was little. California's the most beautiful state in the Union. I've been there once, by television. My name is Jack Warden, and I'm an actress."

As a result of the publication of her history, she was given more effective treatment. Nonetheless, she continued to go in and out of mental hospitals and died in 1994, according to a follow-up article by Susan Sheehan in The New Yorker titled "The Last Days of Sylvia Frumkin." The same article disclosed her legal name as Maxine Mason, sister of U.S. Democratic Party activist Trudy Mason.

Savannah Spirits

The Savannah Spirits were a professional basketball team that played for two years in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) from 1986 to 1988, amassing a total regular season record of 42 wins and 60 losses for a total of 306.5 points. The team originally began play in the 1982–1983 season as the Detroit Spirits, after Agustin Arbulu acquired the franchise, compiling a record of 26–18, winning the Central Division title; they defeated the Rochester Zeniths for the Conference title and the Montana Golden Nuggets for the CBA title. After their initial season Agustin Arbulu agreed to sell the franchise to Reggie Henderson. The Spirits did not qualify for the postseason in their first year in Savannah, Georgia. In their second and final year in Savannah, they were eliminated by the Albany Patroons in the first round, four games to one.

Future late-night talk show host Craig Kilborn served as the team's radio play-by-play announcer. It was the first broadcasting job of his career.

Detroit Spirits (1982–86)
On May 24, 1982, Continental Basketball Association (CBA) spokesperson Fran Greenburg announced that Detroit, Michigan had been awarded an expansion franchise by the league's board of directors.

The Detroit Spirits set a CBA record for team rebounds with 80 during a 107–101 loss to the Ohio Mixers on January 4, 1983.

There was a 37-minute delay during a game in Detroit, Michigan between the Detroit Spirits and the Albany Patroons on January 16, 1983, after spirits forward Francois Wise shattered a backboard on a baseline dunk at the 11:24 mark of the third quarter. Wise suffered "minor cuts" as described by the UPI and was ejected from the game.

Spirits forward Marvin Barnes was suspended two games and fined $100 on February 19, 1983, for what the CBA determined was a flagrant elbow against Ohio Mixers forward DeWayne Scales. Barnes was ejected from the game at which point he removed his jersey and threw it on his bench while exiting the floor. According to Barnes he only threw the elbow in retaliation to Scales striking him in the back. A week later Barnes was suspended by the team for the rest of the season after missing two scheduled practices according to Spirits general manager Sam Washington who told the UPI, "I suspended him the rest of the season so he won't be obligated to be at practice and games and we won't be obligated to look for him [...] He's complained about the leg since the surgery, and we set up a program for him [...] He went two or three times. [...] He's just not dependable [...] and I'm sick and tired of it. [...] The problem is with Marvin, as with a lot of athletes, that in high school, college and even the pros, he's had people cater to him [...] That's what he wants and, I guess, expects." Barnes responded telling the UPI, "I was at the house taking care of some other things [...] Sam [Washington] and I are friends and there are no hard feelings".

In April 1985 Spirits owner Reggie Henderson told the Michigan Chronicle that he was looking to re-locate his franchise to Muskegon, Michigan; Flint, Michigan; or Toledo, Ohio. Henderson said that the lease on their facilities was too high and a smaller market could accommodate his team better. He claimed the spirits lost $700,000 during the 1984–85 season. The team averaged 800 spectators at home games during the season. In spite of this team vice president Robb Larson announced on July 3, 1985, they were close to finalizing a lease to use the University of Detroit's Calihan Hall.

Franchise history post-Savannah
After relocating to Tulsa, Oklahoma and changing their name to the Tulsa Fast Breakers, the team won the 1988–89 CBA Championship under Head Coach Henry Bibby. The franchise would have a name change to the Tulsa Zone before they eventually moved again to Fargo, North Dakota. Another move would send the team to Mexico City where they became the Mexico City Aztecas and the on to San Diego. The team would fold during the 1995–1996 season while playing as the San Diego Wildcards.

Carrefour, Haiti

Carrefour (Kafou,, meaning Crossroads in English) is a largely residential commune in the Port-au-Prince Arrondissement, in the Ouest department of Haiti. Port-au-Prince has a population of 1,234,742 while the commune has a population of 501,768.

Before the exile of Jean-Claude Duvalier, Carrefour was viewed as a Haitian tourist destination.

History
The location that would become Carrefour was originally a military post in the borough of Port-au-Prince. In March 1795, Louis-Jacques Beauvais and André Rigaud defeated English troops that were occupying the area.

On 1 May 1813, President Alexandre Pétion founded the village of Carrefour. Following a plan drawn up by surveyor Louis Rigaud, the village was to have 20 islets and 161 sites.

The former private residence of President Pétion, now the home of the National School of Thor, is in Carrefour. This location holds important historical significance as it is tied to one of the founding fathers of Haiti.

In 1869, the Cacos, in rebellion against the government of Sylvain Salnave, occupied Carrefour and attacked the fort of Bizoton but were not able to hold it. The Piquets of the south attacked them from behind and forced them to evacuate the military post.

On 20 August 1889, at the height of the insurrection of the northerners against President Légitime, the vanguard of the Army of the South came to take up a position at Carrefour. On 21 August, the day before Légitime's departure, General Justin Carrie fought two battles and was defeated at Bizoton.

In one of his development projects, President François Denys Légitime planned to link Carrefour to Port-au-Prince by a line of steamboats along the coast to Leogane.

Carrefour was elevated to the rank of commune on 15 December 1982.

Geography
The commune of Carrefour is at the crossroads through which thousands of cars, vans, and trucks must pass to go to a part of the department of the West, the departments of the Southeast, the Nippes, the South, and the Grande–Anse. Because of its geographical location and its natural environment, the urban and rural areas of the commune of Carrefour have economic and tourist potential.

For more than a century and a half, Carrefour has never been urbanized as its founders wished. Its agricultural vocation took precedence over its urbanization. The original settlement provided the surrounding settlements (Monrepos, Lamentin, Mahotière, Thor, Brochette, Mariani) and the various communal sections supplied the villagers of Carrefour and the town of Port-au-Prince with agricultural products such as rice, cane sugar, cotton, fruit, vegetables, food, coffee, etc. It was not until the mid-1970s that the anarchic urbanization of the area began. This "urbanization" coincides with the liquidation of the main houses by the large landowners of Carrefour.

Carrefour, together with Port-au-Prince, Petion-Ville, Kenscoff, Gressier, and Delmas, form the borough of Port-au-Prince. The rural area, which is fairly extensive, comprises the following 13 communal sections: Bizoton, Thor, Froide River, Corail Thor, Morne-à-Chandelle, Platon Dufresney, Taillefer, Procy, Bouvier, Coupeau, Laval, Berly and Malanga.

The topography of Carrefour is not quite different from that of Port-au-Prince. Like the latter, the municipality of Carrefour rises to the bottom of the Gulf of Gonave. It includes a mountainous part including the hills Malanga, Chandelle, Boyer, Froide River, Dufréné, and Corail Thor.

Its geographical limits extend from the east to the north, from the junction of Fontamara 43 with the coastline until it meets Port-au-Prince Bay and extends along this coast until it meets with the Mariani ravine. From the northwest, they turn south to the limit of the 12th Section of Morne-à-Bateau, the 23rd Section of the Parks, and the 8th Section of Beau-Séjour de la as of Léogâne. From there, they re-join the boundaries of the 7th Section, Great River, 4th Section, Gosseline which belongs to the commune of Jacmel, and the 2nd Section, Nouvelle-Tourraine, and the 20th Section, Bongars, of the commune of Kenscoff. They again rejoin Fontamara 43 by the South-South-East trajectory of the 8th Section, Martissant, of the commune of Port-au-Prince. The coordinates of the municipality are located on the one hand between 72°22' and 72°27' west longitude and on the other hand between 18°30' and 18°35' north latitude. Its area is estimated at 190 km².

As far as hydrography is concerned, the Froide River, one of the most important watercourses in the municipality, flows through the Communal Sections of Plato Dufresney and continues to the Pond Section of the commune Of Petion-Ville. Then the river of Chauffard irrigates the houses of the communal section Procy, that of Bengas at the level of Kenscoff, and that of Momance or Grande-Rivière, between the communal sections of Procy and Laval. Among the less important rivers: are the Grandin River, the Morel, and Time-Perdu gullies.

On the demographic level, the commune of Carrefour has a population of more than 500,000 inhabitants. However, it remains extremely difficult to have more or less reliable statistics on the population of Carrefour. According to the 1982 census, Carrefour had a population of 129,470 people; the 2003 census lists a population of 373,916 inhabitants. Based on 4.24%, the annual growth rate of its population, today, Carrefour would have a population of 460,251 inhabitants.

Demographics
The commune of Carrefour is one of the largest municipalities in the Republic of Haiti by area and population, comprising 13 communal sections. The urban center is subdivided into zones or districts: part of Fontamara, Bizoton, Diquini, Thor, Mahotière, Côte-Plage, Waney, Arcachon, Monrepos, Brochette, Lamentin, Rivière Froide, and part of Mariani. Some of these neighborhoods have more than 10,000 residents.

A majority of the municipality of Carrefour is concentrated in its mountainous municipal sections. The lack of paved and maintained roads makes access by car or truck difficult.

Economy
Unlike the majority of municipalities in the Republic of Haiti, agriculture occupies a tiny place in Carrefour's economy. The commune of Carrefour occupies remains an appendix of Port-au-Prince. The secondary and tertiary sectors primarily supply its economic circuit. Nevertheless, agricultural activities are undertaken in the communal sections of Morne Chandelle, Plateau Dufresney, Taillefer, Procy, Coupeau, Laval, Bouvier and Malanga.

The inhabitants of all the communal sections of Carrefour depend mainly on agriculture; Coffee, vegetables, cereals, food and cane sugar are grown there. There are also cattle (oxen, cabris, backyard birds on a tiny scale), except coffee, an imported commodity grown on the hills of Rivière Froide, Dufresney and Corail Thor. The farmers of the communal sections of Carrefour only practice subsistence farming, in other words, their agricultural production does not have a significant impact on the economy of the commune. In the urban area where the majority of the population lives, the economy works like the big Haitian cities.

Public services are concentrated in the urban center of Carrefour: the tribunal of peace, the Taxation Department, the police station, the registry office, the Coast Guard, and the largest sports complex in the country. In addition, commercial activities: banks, supermarkets, bazaars, bakeries, public markets, shops, pharmacies, etc. Industrial establishments include paint factories, Haiti Metal, Mariani Tannery, Cuir SA, Adventist Packaging, SAFICO, ALTA and TOLI, STEP-OVER and oil companies (the National, Shell, Texaco, ESSO).

Two hospitals and numerous private clinics provide health care at the level of the commune of Carrefour: Diquini Adventist Hospital and Carrefour Hopital Maternité. Despite the presence of these hospitals, many Carrefourrois continue to visit the hospitals and clinics located in the city of Port-au-Prince.

Education
A large number of public and private schools provide education at primary, secondary, vocational and university levels. In the last twenty years, due to the rural exodus to the center and the growing demand for education, primary and secondary schools have multiplied in Carrefour. Despite the presence of very good institutions in Carrefour, thousands of adolescents residing in the commune still continue to attend the schools located in Port-au-Prince.

List of Schools in Carrefour
 * Ensemble Scolaire Père Basile Moreau (ESPBM)
 * Juvénat du Sacré-Cœur
 * Lycée Louis Joseph Janvier
 * Collège Univers Frère Raphaël
 * Collège Mixte Eddy Pascal
 * Collège de Côte-Plage
 * L'Ecole des Sœurs Salésiennes

Tourism
In the 1970s and into the second half of the 1980s, Carrefour occupied a prominent position in tourism in Haiti. It was a favorite destination for Haitian and foreign tourists. However, after the collapse of the Duvalier regime and the ensuing instability, the tourist industry completely collapsed.

Other attractions in the area include Méridien Club, Paradis des Amis Restaurant-Hotel, Paladium Night Club, Downtown Disco Club, Mermaid Beach Hotel, Etoile de David Bar-Restaurant, Auberge du Québec, Chez Nounoune, Bamboulinos Hotel. But the most famous of these centers, either because of the luxury they offer or the musical groups that animated them, were the Lambi Night Club, the Domaine Ideal (whose clientele was mainly foreign), the Tiboukan Auberge Restaurant, the Three Fish and Chez Cator famous for its "pwason gwo sèl." Most of these establishments built on the seashore all enjoyed a very caressing breeze through the seasons.

On the other hand, the entertainment was enriched by the various cinemas: the Coliseum, Cric Crac Cine, Crystal Cine. There was also the cockfighting, especially at the Amical Gaguere de Mariani. As for the communal sections, the gargoyles hold the top of the bill.

Religion
Religious activities are multifaceted. It is a true syncretism Catholics, vodouisants, Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses and adepts of various confessions compete with fervor. The churches dedicated to Saint Charles and Our Lady of Mount Carmel bring together an immense crowd of faithful from the surrounding districts and Port-au-Prince on the occasion of the patron festivals of 4 November and 16 July. As for the chapel of Saint Anthony, it is a permanent center of interest. Placed at the top of Merger, it never ceases to drain pilgrims. Other chapels exist in the communal sections.

The Protestant churches are found everywhere in the commune of Carrefour. Very often, late in the night, the quarters vibrate with their prayers and their songs of adoration. This establishes a very clear contrast with the dance music of night clubs or nightclubs. On the other hand, there are also the houmforts where the followers of the voodoo pay homage to the African gods, the loas. In this religious atmosphere, certain signs will never cease to astonish an observer: "God alone inspires us and science enlightens us: Botanica Sciencia de San Juan Templa." Macoumba.

What is particularly pleasing to point out are the social works undertaken by the different religious denominations. Outside the impressive schools, some have orphanages, canteens, places of retreat, and so on.

On 10 December 1905, the parish of Carrefour was erected by Mgr. Conan, two years after his elevation as Archbishop of Port-au-Prince. Carrefour was a small chapel in the parish of Sainte Anne, dedicated to Saint Charles of Borome. The first parish priest was R. P. Lebihain. Then, the Monfortains took possession of the Parish of Carrefour. A contract had been signed between the Archbishop of Port-au-Prince and the company of Mary (Monfortains) supported by Rome.

On 20 February 1910, Paul Marie Lebihain was appointed parish priest of Port-de-Paix and Vicar General of the Society of Mary, replaced by Father Brochard (1910–1947), RP Doriel (1947–1972) and Father Eustache Saint Hubert (1972–), etc.

The Monfortian monks built the presbytery, the church, a parish hall, chapels in the communal sections all by Fathers Dorel and Saint Hubert

The Parish of Carrefour has eight chapels scattered in the communal sections: Morne-a-Bateau, dedicated to Saint Antoine; Great River, Saint Paul; Morne-à-Chandelle, Saint Michel; Boucan Marie, Our Lady of the Annunciation; Bouvier, Holy Heart of Mary; Coupeau, Our Lady of Lourdes; Wiailles, Saint Francis Xavier; Côte-Plages, Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

In addition, under the administration of Father Dorélien, several religious communities settled in the Parish of Carrefour: the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, the Salesian Sisters, the Little Sisters of Saint Teresa, the Little Brothers of Saint Teresa, the Girls Of Wisdom and the Oblate Missionaries.

Administration
Carrefour has a municipal council (conseil municipal) compound of three members elected by the inhabitants of the commune for a 4-year term. The municipal council is led by a president often called mayor.

Carrefour has a municipal assembly (assemblée municipale) who assists the council in its work. The members of the assembly are also elected for 4 years.

Municipal Councils (2016–2020)
 * Jude Edouard Pierre (Mayor)
 * Maxo Bourdeau
 * Darlyne Joseph

Municipal Assembly (2016–2020)

2010 earthquake
On 12 January 2010, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake that hit Haiti caused heavy damage to residential buildings in Carrefour, with 40 to 50 per cent of buildings destroyed in the town's worst-affected areas. One of the damaged facilities was the city's hospital.

In the wake of the quake, the Cuban military set up a field hospital in the region. Electricity was restored to some sectors at the beginning of February.

As of 9 February 2010, the US 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit is rotating out of Haiti, having been replaced by the US 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, in their position on USS Bataan (LHD-5) and Carrefour, Léogâne, Grand-Goâve and Petit-Goâve.

As of 7 March 2010, a donated Fujifilm X-ray machine has arrived at the Adventists Medical Center.

Talk:Indicator (distance amplifying instrument)

German language info
The lever type is known in German as 'Fühlheber'. --LA2 23:48, 2005 Apr 18 (UTC)

Geometry
After reading a couple paragraphs I still didn't understand the geometry of the thing being measured and the geometry of the probe that measures it. Are we measuring a gap with a conical probe? Is it like a feeler gague or is it like a caliper? Rtdrury 21:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

 * It is like a depth gauge; so it is like the depth gauge of a caliper, but spring-loaded to respond to changes the distance being measured. Hopefully it's clear from the pictures? jhawkinson (talk) 05:28, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Not SPC!
In the section titled "Digital Indiocator" th eauthor refers to the transmission of measurement data to a remote computer as "This process is known as Statistical process control (SPC)". This statement is incorrect. SPC involves much, much more than remote datalogging. 212.18.233.29 09:12, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

i study engineering and need some data
what about the mechanical comparator? also, what about i need to ask about certain specification in a certain instrument such as construction how to operate. are there links to see videos about something like that? or see it when we use it measuring anything?

thanks alot, i would be grateful if i took ur reply —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.233.90.143 (talk) 02:30, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

 * comparator is amplifier. amplifies 10 times the difference. USE:insert the gage block (test piece having precise dimension), set dial(of comparator) to zero, insert part to be checked, any variation will shown on the gage 10 times higher. One drawing available in tata mcgraw-hill publication "shop theory".pg.no. 115

 * Please see optical comparator or the reference desk. Wizard191 (talk) 14:15, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Contact Tip
Is this section correct? If you tare the machine, which you should be doing after each measurement when the parameter being measured requires the precision of a dial indicator, tip effects should immediately vanish. Am I missing something? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.105.245.7 (talk) 21:59, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Your thinking is on track. I fixed the section. It was not wrong in the intent of what it was trying to say, but it was failing to say it clearly. The writing had evolved with the conflating into one discussion of both drop indicator tips and DTI tips, which are really two separate discussions. So I broke it into those two subsections. The sentence about the offset factor was implicitly talking about DTI tips, but there was nothing to keep the reader from assuming that the implicit context was drop indicator tips. Speaking specifically about drop indicator tips, it is trivial to change from one tip length to another, as long as your setup includes re-zeroing the indicator. Which is your basic point. On top of that, I'd add that it is not even necessary to re-check the zeroing after each measurement, as long as you re-check it with some reasonable frequency. For example, if working to a tolerance of many thou, re-checking the zero might only be done after every 20 or 50 or 100 measurements. If working to a tolerance of a few tenths (.0001"), re-checking the zero might be done after every one or two or three measurements. Anyway, thanks for helping to improve the section. — ¾-10 20:58, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Re not drifting off topic
Hi Pol098. Your edit summary was, "rv recent change - article is about pointers, includes pointer as common type, & other indicators are commonly used, dials, clocks, probe indicator (meat thermometer, soil humidity), &c &c." But please note that the title of the article is "indicator (distance amplifying instrument)". This article is not about every measuring instrument with a pointer, or with a dial, or with a digital readout. The article with the scope that you're thinking of is dial (measurement)—not indicator (distance amplifying instrument). This article is about indicators specifically, in the sense of distance amplifying instruments, such as drop indicators, dial test indicators, and so on. A meat thermometer is not a distance amplifying instrument. A soil humidity meter is not a distance amplifying instrument. This article is about indicators that take a distance of a few thou or a few dozen microns and amplify them so that the user can measure things like manufactured parts or shifts in building walls. This article isn't about speedometers, thermometers, hygrometers, or other instruments. I don't object to the mention of everyday life in itself (after all, a machinist uses dial test indicators as an everyday experience), but speedometers and thermometers are not part of this article's scope, because this isn't an article about "every kind of gauge that has a pointer" (for that, see dial (measurement)). Just explaining here at talk before I edit again. Thanks. — ¾-10 23:47, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

How about a look (or description) of the mechanism past "clockwork"
Many other wikipedia articles (e.g. Pump) go into great detail on the external mechanism. Perhaps this would be worth extending? Riventree (talk) 13:47, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Photos would be good, but in terms of prose, there's just not much more to say than "clockwork". They're really pretty simple, just very carefully made. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:26, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Again, Andy? I've left you alone for years - stayed out of your forte subjects, not called you out... And you're just going to pop out another snide and totally unproductive comment like "really accurate clockwork"? Going past "clockwork" might involve the words "rack and pinion", "anti-backlash spring", etc. And a picture or diagram likewise. What in six hells brings you to throw gasoline around?
