 * Also note there may be schools listed in Votes for undeletion, but undeletions may only occur if there is a failure in process, and one may not participate just to reverse an unwanted decision.

Simon's Town

Simon's Town (Simonstad), sometimes spelled Simonstown, is a town in the Western Cape, South Africa and is home to Naval Base Simon's Town, the South African Navy's largest base. It is located on the shores of Simon's Bay in False Bay, on the eastern side of the Cape Peninsula. For more than two centuries, it has been a naval base and harbour (first for the British Royal Navy and now the South African Navy). The town is named after Simon van der Stel, an early governor of the Cape Colony.

Topography
The land rises steeply from near the water's edge and the town is boxed in along the shoreline by the heights above. The small harbour itself is protected from swells by a breakwater that was built with thousands of huge blocks of sandstone quarried out of the face of the mountain above.

Simon's Town is now in effect a suburb of the City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality. The Simon's Town railway station is the terminus of the Southern Line, a railway line that runs south of the central business district of Cape Town. In places, the railway line runs along the steep eastern shore of False Bay, and in bad weather waves and foam from some heavy swells wet the trains.

Boulders Beach
Boulders Beach is located a few kilometres to the south of Simon's Town, in the direction of Miller's Point. Here small coves and beaches are interspersed between boulders of Cape granite. There has been a colony of African penguins at Boulders Beach since 1985. There is no record of the birds having lived here prior to that date. They are shown, with scenes from the town, in the 2021 series, Penguin Town. There are only three penguin populations on the mainland in southern Africa; the others are close to Hermanus at Stoney Point and Betty's Bay.

Martello Tower
In the last weeks of 1795 or the first weeks of 1796, the British built a round tower on a site that today falls within the Naval Base. Britain had just annexed the Dutch colony at the Cape of Good Hope and wanted to establish some defences to ward off possible Dutch or French attacks. The resulting tower was 26 ft high, had a base diameter of 42 ft, and walls 6 ft thick, though there is no evidence that the British ever installed the guns the tower was designed to hold. In front of the tower, the British also constructed a battery that they did arm with cannons. The Martello tower was used as a navigational beacon for ships entering Simon's Bay and was consequently white-washed in about 1843. The tower was restored in 1972 by the Simon's Town Historical Society (in conjunction with the South African Navy), and proclaimed a provincial heritage site; today it houses a small museum.

South African Naval Museum
The South African Naval Museum is a maritime museum, which contains collections and artefacts related to the maritime history of South Africa and the South African Navy.

Simon's Town Museum
Simon's Town Museum is a community museum established in 1977 and located in The Residency, a historical building erected by Governor Joachim van Plettenberg in 1777. The museum records and preserves all aspects of the history of Simon's Town community.

Simon's Town Heritage Museum
Simon's Town Heritage Museum is a house museum established by Zainab Davidson after the Amlay family home was returned following apartheid. After Davidson's retirement, nephew Sheribeen Amlay took over the running of the museum. Collections include photographs, newspapers, artifacts, ephemera, and genealogical resources for the inhabitants of Simon's Town pre-apartheid. Significant collections include those related to the history of Muslim settlement in the region.

Public art
In 1985, a statue of Just Nuisance, the only dog ever to be officially enlisted in the Royal Navy, was erected in a position overlooking the harbour. The Simon's Town Museum has an exhibition dedicated to his story.

Notable inhabitants

 * Georgia Papageorge, installation artist
 * Hendrik Vermeulen, couturier
 * Simon Peyton Jones, computer scientist born in (and named after) Simonstown

Economy
Simon's Town became a free port in 1832.

Coat of arms
The Simon's Town municipal council assumed a coat of arms, designed by Adelbert Bonn, in September 1905. It was granted by the College of Arms on 27 September 1957.

The design is described as Quarterly: I and IV, per pale, the dexter Argent, three towers placed 2 and 1 Gules, the sinister per fess Or and Azure, in chief on a mount Vert a peacock in his pride proper and in base three plates placed 2 and 1 Argent; II and III, Azure, an estoile and in chief three crescents Argent; over all an oval cartouche with scrolled edges Or, charged with a demi-lion rampant Gules, issuant from three barrulets wavy Vert. In layman's terms, the shield is divided into four quarters. The first quarter is divided vertically, one half depicting three red towers on a silver background, the other a peacock on a gold background above three silver discs on a red background; the second quarter is blue, with three silver crescents at the top and a wavy star below on a blue background; the third quarter is the same as the second and the fourth the same as the first; in the centre is an oval with a decorative edge displaying a red lion emerging from wavy green stripes on a golden background.

These were a slightly modified version of the arms of Willem Adriaan van der Stel, which Bonn mistakenly thought were those of his father Simon van der Stel.

The crest was the figure of Britannia resting on a golden naval crown. Two golden anchors were placed behind the shield. The motto was Fac et spera.

When the municipality was dissolved in 1996, the council placed its regalia, including the letters patent from the College of Arms, in the custody of the Simon's Town Historical Society. The society registered the arms in its own name at the Bureau of Heraldry in October 1999.

Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain

Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain is a third-person shooter video game developed by Bend Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2. It is the fourth installment in the Syphon Filter franchise and a sequel to 2001's Syphon Filter 3.

Gameplay
The gameplay is a departure from the previous games. Rather than playing as Gabe Logan, the player is given the role of a new recruit working for Gabe's secret anti-terrorist organization, the IPCA Players are able to create an original agent using a character customization system. Each mission allows players to select weapons from an overwhelming abundance, including assault rifles, carbines, machine guns, knives, grenades and more.

Four bonus missions can be unlocked, with each allowing players to take on a certain character. Players cannot choose specific weapons in each bonus mission, and must complete every mission using a fixed weapon set that the game designates. As per the convention of previous games, failing an objective or dying in any bonus mission will cause it to restart.

The game is nonlinear, where players are given choices to take on certain tasks, or avoid them altogether. Role-playing elements are added so that players can create characters, level up their ranks, and unlock new weapons. Enemies spawn on a seemingly indefinite basis so that players can never clear an area.

Plot
Following the destruction of the original Syphon Filter virus, Gabriel Logan repurposes the agency as the International Presidential Consulting Agency, serving as a counter-terrorism unit. As Commander-in-Chief, Logan has Lian Xing, Teresa Lipan, Lawrence Mujari, and Dr. Elsa Weissenger serve as his officers.

An Agency team headed by Imani Gray is deployed to a besieged city in Michigan in order to rescue Mujari, who disappeared while investigating Dr. Richard Broussard's ties with the Anarchiste Liberation Army. Imani and her team successfully rescue Mujari, and assassinate the ALA leadership then prepare for their next assignment.

Meanwhile, IPCA commander Gary Stoneman assassinates Italian mafia leader Dimitri Alexopoulous to prevent his acquisition of the Omega Strain in Italy. The team follows Stone to Belarus and tracks a shipment of infected cattle to Ivankov's residence. They discover that his courier Yuschenko is selling the Omega Strain, and Agency pilot Alima Haddad is captured by the Chechens during the operation, leading Stone to assume she is dead.

During the Belarus operation, Lian is deployed to Kyrgyzstan in order to eliminate an arms deal involving a local warlord and the North Koreans.

Gabe reluctantly enlists help from Mossad agent Ehud Ben Zohar upon determining Yuschenko's plans to sell the virus to Fatha Al-Hassan, a Yemeni leader. Zohar only cares about stopping Al-Hassan's network, so he steals the viral canister after the Agency retrieves it from Yuschenko. Zohar and the team enter Al-Hassan's palace disguised as the dead Chechens in order to assassinate him. In the aftermath, they exchange the contracts for the virus.

The team later investigates a lead recovered from the Belarus operation that shows Dr. Nikolai Jandran is conducting virus tests at a local university. Maggie Powers assists in recovering evidence before the university's destruction.

Shortly after recovering, Mujari conducts his own investigation into the Chechens and photographs Russian forces committing war atrocities for future blackmail. Afterwards, Mujari takes control of the Agency team as they check the wreckage of the S.S. Lorelei. The university turned up salvaged boxes, indicating an undersea operation. The team evacuates the salvage rig before destroying the viral containers for good. However, Jandran dies from a serum before he can be brought back for questioning.

While Gabe faces pressure from the U.S. President and Alex Birchim of the White House Internal Affairs, he sends Lian and the team to track North Korean agent Yong-jun Kim, a man connected to the yakuza's Murakawa Industries in Japan. The investigation reveals that Murakawa was helping develop the Omega Strain. Aramov arrived before Lian and forced Murakawa to commit suicide for trusting Kim. Kim posed as an employee working with Murakawa, so he could get the virus.

Shortly after destroying the Japanese labs, the team is re-deployed to recover Imani in Myanmar. The plane carrying Imani and Kim had been shot down. Guilt-ridden, Lian takes the team to recover her body and the viral sample Kim was carrying. Despite claims that inclement weather brought down the jet, they find evidence indicating that Aramov had bribed the Myanmar Army to shoot down the plane.

Gabe becomes frustrated with his investigation into the secret corporation Meta Global Funds, which he believes controls the Syphon Filter conspiracy. The purchase of Murakawa Industries by Meta Global was possible through Niculescu Funds, headed by international banker Mihai Niculescu. He deduces that Niculescu as the mastermind behind the conspiracy. Against Birchim's commands, Gabe brings the Agency team to the headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. They find evidence linking Birchim to bribes, but nothing implicating Niculescu, and upload a virus to destroy all the computer records while sending them to Agency files.

Gabe conducts a solo investigation into Niculescu's Montenegro estate in a final effort to expose him. Although he did not find physical evidence, he learns of Aramov's ties to Niculescu and learns that Ivankov plans to nuke Russia.

Having learned of Ivankov's location from Mara, the Agency mobilizes to his base and prevents the missile's launch. Stone recovers an injured Alima. Ivankov is eventually killed by Gabe while attempting to escape.

Thanks to tissue and virus samples recovered by the IPCA, a vaccine for the Omega Strain virus is successfully synthesized, ending the threat with the aid of the World Health Organization. The President congratulates the IPCA and has Birchim arrested. Niculescu is killed by two anonymous gunmen as a result of his bank's sabotage. Dr. Weissenger gives a written admission that she had the recruit kill Dr. Jandran, as well as signs of mental instability before disappearing from the Agency. Lastly, Stone aims his rifle at Aramov to assassinate her on Logan's order.

Development
In a June 2007 interview with GameSpy, franchise veteran John Garvin maintained his attachment to the game, and explained that it was originally not intended to feature a single player mode. Garvin implied that the ability to play through the campaign alone had been tacked on at the demand of parent company Sony Computer Entertainment, late into the development process, in order to broaden the game's appeal.

Canadian controversy
The first three levels of the game's campaign mode were to originally be set in Toronto, Canada, but were changed a few months before the game's release due to feedback from some Canadians who disapproved of the levels' premise, which depicted Quebecois nationalists perpetrating a terrorist attack against the Toronto subway. References to the city's name were removed, with it being renamed to the fictional U.S. city of Carthage, Michigan. Overlooked vestiges of the level as originally envisaged by the developers can still be seen in the finished game, notably pictures of the Toronto skyline, as well as a few remaining references to Canada and Toronto that were overlooked.

Reception
Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.

Apolda

Apolda is a town in central Thuringia, Germany, the capital of the Weimarer Land district. It is situated in the center of the triangle Weimar–Jena–Naumburg near the river Ilm, c. 15 km east by north from Weimar. Apolda station lies on the Halle–Bebra railway, which is part of the main line from Berlin to Frankfurt.

History
Apolda was first mentioned in 1119. Until 1633 it was seat of a family of nobles, the Vitzthums, which acted relatively independent. Between 1633 and World War I Apolda was property of the University of Jena. Nevertheless, from 1691 to 1809 Apolda was part of the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar and from 1809 to 1918 of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (after 1815 Grand Duchy). Around 1700, the knitting industry began to grow, so that finally, at the end of the 19th century, Apolda was the wealthiest town of the whole region. On July 12–17, 1945, Apolda issued a set of three of its own postage stamps. They depicted a new sprig growing up out of a tree stump. After World War II, Thuringia became part of the German Democratic Republic. Up to German reunification, Apolda still was famous for its textile industries. Since then, a notable economic decay has taken place.

Mayors
Ernst Stegmann was the long-time mayor of Apolda with 33 years in office (1901-1934).

Main sights
It possesses several churches and monuments to the Dobermann Pinscher dog breed, which was created in Apolda, and to Christian Zimmermann (1759–1842), who, by introducing the hosiery and cloth manufacture, made Apolda one of the most important places in Germany in these branches of industry. By 1900 it also had had extensive dyeworks, bell foundries, and manufactures of steam engines, boilers, cars and bicycles. After German reunification the majority of these had to be closed down for economical reasons.

The most important sights are: The largest free hanging bell in the world, the Decke Pitter of Cologne Cathedral, was made in Apolda. Apolda also has mineral springs.
 * St. Martin's Church (1119), details in Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque style
 * Town Hall (1558/9), in Renaissance style
 * Castle (16th/17th century)
 * Railway viaduct (1845/46)
 * Zimmermann factory building (1880–1882)
 * Lutherkirche (1894)
 * St. Boniface's Church (1894)
 * Glocken museum (Bell museum)

Twin towns – sister cities
Apolda is twinned with:
 * 🇸🇪 Mark, Sweden
 * 🇺🇸 Rapid City, United States
 * 🇮🇹 San Miniato, Italy
 * 🇫🇷 Seclin, France

Notable people

 * Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann (1834–1894), first breeder of the Doberman Pinscher
 * Otto Franz Georg Schilling (1911–1973), mathematician
 * Albert Raisner (1922–2011), musician and TV host
 * Klaus Agthe (born 1930), businessman and author
 * Mike Mohring (born 1971), politician (CDU)
 * Erich Seidel (ophthalmologist), ophthalmologist known for Seidel test and Seidel sign

Note (copied from Talk:Nytharese):

To the creator of Nytharese: Wikipedia is not the place for grammatical descriptions of conlang projects. Therefore I have to support the deletion proposal. First of all, because this is an encyclopedia, it should contain a description of the language instead of a grammar; and that's exactly what I cannot find in the article: info about the person who created it, the year in which it was started, the purpose of the language, etc. Secondly, we need to restrict ourself to constructed languages that have proven their importance in whatever way. A barely started project IMO does not count like one. And even worse: it gives ammunition to those who think the whole conlang stuff is crap from the beginning and are waiting for a chance to kick it out of the wiki altogether. Now I suppose you have been adding your conlang to the wiki with the best intentions. And let it be clear that I welcome your efforts to give Nytharese a web presence. But wiki is definitely not the place for it. Let me instead point you to another wiki, specially designed for constructed langages: http://conlang.wikicities.com/wiki/Main_Page (on the main page, you will also find links to other conlang wikis). I'm sure your language and all of its grammar will be welcomed and appreciated there much more than here! Good luck, IJzeren Jan 07:46, 29 May 2005 (UTC).

June 1, 1981 (Monday)

 * A mobile laser weapon, intended to destroy missiles in flight, failed in testing by the U.S. Air Force at the United States Naval Weapons Center at China Lake in California. The high-intensity laser had been fired, from a flying KC-135A Stratotanker (similar to a Boeing 707), at a Sidewinder missile that was moving at 2000 mph. "The test failed," said Colonel Bob O'Brien, "and we don't know why."
 * The first issue of China Daily, an English language newspaper operated by the Chinese Communist Party, was published. A sister paper to the official Chinese language People's Daily, the paper gave a nod to capitalism by carrying advertising.
 * Born: Carlos Zambrano, pitcher for the Chicago Cubs and 3-time winner of Silver Slugger Award; in Puerto Cabello, Venezuela
 * Died: Carl Vinson, 97, U.S. Congressman (D-Ga.) from 1914 to 1965, who was known as "The Father of the Two-Ocean Navy" for his successful efforts in expanding the U.S. Navy during the 20th century.

June 2, 1981 (Tuesday)

 * Ron Settles, 21, running back for California State University, Long Beach, was found hanged in his jail cell, three hours after he had been stopped in Signal Hill, California, for speeding, then booked on other charges. A coroner's jury later ruled 5-4 that the death was not a suicide.  Represented by Johnnie Cochran, Settles's parents sued the city and eventually settled the case in January 1983 for $1,000,000.
 * Died: Rino Gaetano, 30, Italian singer-songwriter, of injuries in an auto accident

June 3, 1981 (Wednesday)

 * Wayne Williams, 23, was taken into custody by the FBI, at his home at 1817 Penelope Road N.W. in Atlanta.  Though not arrested, Williams was questioned for almost 12 hours by agents investigating the "Atlanta child murders" of 28 young people, most of them children.  Released the next morning, Williams was questioned by reporters and his name became known worldwide.  He remained free, though under surveillance, until his arrest on June 21, when he was charged with the murder of 27-year-old Nathaniel Cater.
 * Died: Carleton S. Coon, 76, American anthropologist and archaeologist

June 4, 1981 (Thursday)

 * James Earl Ray, who allegedly committed the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., was stabbed 22 times by four of his fellow inmates at the Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary near Petros, Tennessee. Ray survived the murder attempt, and went on for many years before dying on April 23, 1998, thirty years after the King assassination.  Although Ray refused to identify the attackers, three African-American prisoners were later convicted of the attempt and had at least 20 years added to their prison sentences.

June 5, 1981 (Friday)

 * The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 5 homosexual men in Los Angeles, California have a rare form of pneumonia seen only in patients with weakened immune systems (the first recognized cases of AIDS).

 * Hundreds of train passengers were killed when seven cars of an overcrowded train fell off the tracks into the Bagmati River in India's Bihar state. Although initial estimates placed the death toll as high as 3,000 people, the figure would later be revised to about 800.  The train had been en route from Banmankhi to Samastipur, carrying passengers inside and on the roofs of its cars, and the engineer reported that he had stopped on the bridge after seeing a cow on the tracks.  At the same time, heavy winds tipped the cars, five of which were swept downriver.

June 7, 1981 (Sunday)

 * In carrying out its Operation Opera (also known as Operation Babylon), the Israeli Air Force destroyed Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor in a raid that lasted 1 minute and 20 seconds. Eight F-16 jet fighters and six F-15s took off from the Etzion Airbase at 3:55 pm in Israel, arriving over the target in Iraq at 6:35 pm local time.  Timed for a Sunday evening when more than 100 foreign scientists would be off for the day, the attack killed ten Iraqis and one Frenchman. Among the pilots was Ilan Ramon, who would later become Israel's first astronaut and would die on the last voyage of the space shuttle Columbia.  Israel's Prime Minister Menachem Begin defended the raid despite worldwide condemnation, saying "There will never be another Holocaust in the history of the Jewish people.  Never again, never again."

June 8, 1981 (Monday)

 * Iran's President, Abulhassan Banisadr made a speech at the Iranian Air Force base in Shiraz, exhorting officers and airmen to "resistance of dictatorship". The speech outraged Iran's de facto leader, the Ayatollah Khomeini, who removed Banisadr from command of the armed forces two days later.  Banisadr went into hiding on June 12 as opponents called for his execution, finally escaping to France on July 29.  Many of his supporters were arrested and executed in the months that followed the critical speech.
 * By a vote of 4–2, the council of the city of Morton Grove, Illinois, passed ordinance No. 81-11, prohibiting the possession of handguns within city limits, and for residents to turn in their weapons to police

Over the next three days, the nation, and later the world, followed the attempt to save the boy's life.  At one point, a rescuer was within reach of Alfredo, but the boy slipped 100 feet further down the well.  By Saturday, Alfredo had died, and the property owner was arrested.  The little boy's body was recovered on July 11.

June 13, 1981 (Saturday)

 * At the Trooping the Colour ceremony in London, 17-year-old Marcus Sarjeant fired six shots at Queen Elizabeth, who was riding on horseback. The gun was a cartridge pistol that fired blanks, and the Queen was able to bring her startled horse, "Burmese", under control, but the act demonstrated the vulnerability of Britain's reigning monarch. Serjeant, who testified that he had been unable to obtain a real pistol prior to the event, was convicted under the Treason Act 1842, and spent three years in jail, before quietly being released in October 1984.  He subsequently changed his name and began a new life.
 * Born: Chris Evans, American film actor (Captain America), in Sudbury, Massachusetts
 * Died: George Walsh, 92, American silent film leading man

June 14, 1981 (Sunday)

 * The California Medfly Crisis began with a mistake made in the implementation of sterile insect technique, a means of controlling insect populations by releasing sterile bugs to mix with fertile ones of the same species during breeding season, thereby lowering the number of new larvae. When an infestation of millions of the Mediterranean fruit flies began destroying crops throughout the state, the California Department of Food and Agriculture discovered that the flies released on June 14 weren't sterile, and that the effort to reduce the population had inadvertently increased it.
 * Voters in Switzerland, where women were not allowed to vote in national elections until 1971, approved an equal rights amendment to that nation's Constitution.

June 15, 1981 (Monday)

 * The State of Oklahoma forgot to execute convicted murderer James William White, who had been sentenced to die by lethal injection, in what would have been the first use in the United States of that form of capital punishment. A reporter from the UPI made a phone call to Oklahoma's Court of Criminal Appeals the next day to inquire about White's status.  The Court discovered that nobody had filed an appeal required by state law, and that the state corrections department had incorrectly listed White's sentence as 999 years rather than death.
 * In an 8–1 decision, the United States Supreme Court held in the case of Rhodes v. Chapman (452 U.S. 337) that the placing of two prison inmates in a cell designed for one was not a violation of the Eighth Amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishment, as long as overall conditions at the prison were adequate. The Court reversed rulings at the district and appellate court level in a class action lawsuit brought by inmates of the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, Ohio.

June 16, 1981 (Tuesday)

Stewart explained the next day that he had quit after receiving a letter in 1980 from Donna Gallus, a senior at Technical High School in St. Cloud, Minnesota.  As part of a social studies assignment to write to a national figure, Gallus had asked why Stewart was still on the Court after 22 years, and that the letter, said Stewart, "sort of started me thinking".

According to some accounts, the Ayatollah Khomeini ordered the Islamic Revolutionary Guards to fire into the crowd and more than 100 demonstrators were killed. In another account, the PMOI battled with the Guards, with 15 dead on each side.  In the first three weeks after the demonstration, 195 of Banisadr's supporters had been tried and executed.

After 23 years in power, the coalition of Conservative parties dropped its share from 274 to 147. Pierre Mauroy, who had formed an interim government while elections were being held, was appointed Prime Minister of France by President François Mitterrand.
 * In the deadliest accident to ever happen at Washington State's Mount Rainier National Park, 10 mountain climbers and their guide were killed when tons of ice fell without warning, sweeping them into a 100 foot deep crevasse, and burying them under 70 feet of ice. That afternoon, in the worst accident to ever happen at Oregon's Mount Hood, five mountain climbers were killed when a group of 16, linked by ropes for safety during their descent, fell 2,500 feet down the side of the mountain.

 * On the opening day of the Wimbledon tennis tournament, American John McEnroe, ranked #2 in the world, stunned the crowd with an unprecedented display of temper. Beginning with the 12th game his first-round match against Tom Gullikson, McEnroe began berating the umpire, Edward James, when calls went against him.  In the 9th game of the second set, McEnroe shouted to James "You can't be serious! You are an incompetent fool, an offense against the world!"  McEnroe's antics continued all the way to his victory in the championship match.
 * One day after Iran's Parliament, the Majlis, voted 177–1 in favor of a resolution finding President Abolhassan Banisadr incompetent to hold office, the Ayatollah Khomeini, de facto leader of Iran, dismissed him. "I did not want today to happen," Khomeini wrote in a published declaration addressed to Banisadr, "but you did not listen to my advice.  You did not stop your interest in these corrupt and criminal groups and they drew you to your destruction..."  The President was replaced by a triumvirate consisting of Ayatollahs Mohammed Beheshti and Hashemi Rafsanjani, and Prime Minister Mohammed Ali Rajai.

June 23, 1981 (Tuesday)

 * The Pawtucket Red Sox beat the Rochester Red Wings, 3–2, in the 33rd inning of a game that had started 67 days earlier. The game had been halted in the early morning of April 19, tied 2-2 after 32 innings and more than 8 hours of game time.  The game ended 18 minutes after it resumed, with Dave Koza's single bringing in Cliff Speck for the game winner.  Future MLB stars Cal Ripken and Wade Boggs participated for Rochester and Pawtucket, respectively.
 * The first execution under the new criminal procedure law of the People's Republic of China took place at Nanjing. On June 10, rules were changed to allow death sentences to be approved by intermediate People's Courts, previously reserved to the nation's Supreme Court.

June 24, 1981 (Wednesday)

 * The phenomenon of Our Lady of Međugorje was first reported when six young people in Yugoslavia claimed to have seen an apparition of The Virgin Mary. Ivanka Ivankovic, who allegedly saw it first, was joined by her sister Vicka Ivankovic, Mirjana and Ivan Dragicevic, Marija Pavlovic and Jakov Colo.  Although the local Catholic bishop, Pavo Zanic, felt that the apparitions had been "a case of collective hallucination", Pope John Paul II approved pilgrimages to the area in 1986, and tens of thousands of believers have visited Međugorje (now part of Bosnia and Herzegovina) since then.
 * Soldiers in the army of Uganda killed 86 people, mostly women and children, in a massacre at the city of Arua.
 * Died: Paul Butler, 89, multimillionaire who founded Butler Aviation Company and who was largely responsible for the creation of Oak Brook, Illinois.

 * The first game of paintball was played after two friends— writer Charles Gaines and stockbroker Hayes Noel— decided that a competitive sport could be made from using a "marker gun", designed originally at the request of the U.S. Forestry Service a way to mark trees (for later removal) from a distance. Near Sutton, New Hampshire, Gaines and Noel organized two teams, each with six players armed with a Nel-spot 007 marker fired paintballs at each other.
 * In a major break from the cult of personality that had been inspired by the late Chairman Mao Zedong, "Resolution on Certain Historical Issues of the Party Since the Founding of the PRC" was approved by the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. A 119-page document faulted Mao for the Cultural Revolution that lasted from May 1966 until Mao's death in October 1976, described as "responsible for the most severe setback and heaviest losses suffered by the party, the state and the people", but added that "an error comprehensive in magnitude and protracted in duration... was the error of a great proletarian revolutionary."

Apollinaris Claudius

Saint Apollinaris Claudius (Greek: Απολλινάριος Κλαύδιος), otherwise Apollinaris of Hierapolis or Apollinaris the Apologist, was a Christian leader and writer of the 2nd century.

Life
He was Bishop of Hierapolis in Phrygia and became famous for his polemical treatises against the heretics of his day, whose errors he showed to be entirely borrowed from the pagans. In 177 he published an "Apologia" for the Christians, addressed to Marcus Aurelius, and appealing to the Emperor's own experience with the "Thundering Legion", whose prayers won him the victory over the Quadi. The exact date of his death is not known, but it was probably while Marcus Aurelius was still Emperor.

Nothing survives of his writings except for a few extracts, the longest of which relates to the date of Passover. Eusebius makes mention of his work. His feast day is commemorated on January 8.

Talk:Solow–Swan model

Change in workforce
Why is this written as L[t+1] = L[t]*(1+gL) instead of L[t+1] = L[t]*(1+n)?

n is mentioned above the section as the population growth rate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.38.116.245 (talk) 14:07, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

No need to explain technological progress
I don't know how somebody can say that the model needs to explain why technological progress occurs. That sounds pretty much like wondering why mankind exists...

No. In some cases you get a lot of technological progress, in others little. What accounts for the difference is an important question.radek 22:25, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Golden Rule Savings Rate
There needs to be some mention of the golden rule level of savings here that sets the savings rate to maximize consumption. But, unfortunately, no such article on that exists yet. Scott Ritchie 22:02, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi, I've added a stub under the name "Golden Rule (growth)". I've chosen this name to match similar names on the Golden Rule disambiguation page. Presently, it is a stub; perhaps you are able to extend it?
 * Cheers, Wragge 23:03, 2005 May 28 (UTC)
 * I moved the page to Golden Rule savings rate, as I believe that to be a more complete article title that helps avoid the need for parenthesis (which also might confuse it with the British thing mentioned on the Golden Rule disambig page.) Thanks for getting the ball rolling :) Scott Ritchie 21:01, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Solution is wrong
Janpieter 00:25, 12 January 2006 (UTC) The solution of the equotations isn't correct. After the differentiating-part the formula is incorrect. Variables are changed. The d is used for multiple purposes, it isn't clear. The same with the variable t, where is it introduced?

Furter, the images of the formulas are incomplete.

I'll try to work it out, but I'm not sure if I'm capable of that.

Well, it looks more messy than wrong - t is standard usage for time, d generally means derivative. The other d stands for depreciation - generally denoted by a delta but hard to do here. It does need to be fixed up a bit. And if possible put that sucker in continues time.radek

Can anyone tell me which d needs to be changed to δ and which should be replaced by delta?

The whole thing is incredibly disorienting. How do you set up a neo-classical model without defining preferences and endowment, and then link UPenn? The analysis looks like a bad undergraduate explanation where the professor ends up waving his hands magically at the end of the proof. I'll try to find some time to put together something more efficient.

 * This is the Solow version of the neo-classical model, not the Ramsey, which I started here Ramsey growth model but haven't had time to finish. This one too needs to be seriously cleaned up. radek 03:17, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Good Work
I'd like to congradulate the editors of this article for doing a much better job explaining this model than my professor. -Drdisque 16:28, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Would like to add to this. Was a quite valuable piece to completing my weekly advanced macro PS set in reasonable time. - student at University of Michigan Nov. 1st, 2010  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.211.231.33 (talk) 06:08, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

More Critics
It's not true that the fact that the model ignores distribution effects is a mere critic made by extreme marxists!! I think you should add: The use of agregated capital. The use of a representative aggent. And theres more but I don't have the time!!

There should be at least some mention of Anwar Shaikh's work in the criticism section.

Criticisms of the model
What about the economic situation in Austria? Did they introduce special measures for growth? Which were they? Please mention sources. --Maestral 16:23, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

"Austrian" is a school of thought within economics. Models based on the insights of Schumpeter are generally grounded in the Exogenous growth model, and the second half of the statement "better prospect ... than the later Lucas/Romer models" is referring to Endogenous growth models, not Exogenous models. I am therefore removing the "some critics" line, for its inaccuracy and misleading nature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.231.67.167 (talk) 10:04, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Lucas' Law
There is a page on Lucas' Law and not having heard of it before I had quick look on the web and in other references and have been unable to find anything about Spencer Lucas and his Law and the page is unreferenced and it all seems a bit odd. It has a link to "exogenous growth". Does anyone here know anything about this Lucas? (Msrasnw (talk) 13:54, 30 March 2008 (UTC))

Poverty Trap
Can somebody add a section on the "poverty trap"? It's been explained to me several times, and I still don't fully get it. I think it is: If there are multiple steady states, countries with a low savings rate get stuck at the lowest steady state, and need a period of high savings to get over it and then will converge to the higher steady state. Or something.

Ramsey model
The term 'Neoclassical growth model' often refers to the Ramsey growth model, in which consumption is chosen endogenously, instead of the Solow model in which consumption is an exogenous, constrant fraction of income. The links and redirects between these pages need to be improved. --Rinconsoleao (talk) 13:23, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

 * They are both referred to as "neoclassical growth model". Perhaps a disambiguation at the top of the page is needed?radek (talk) 12:56, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

This article is highly misleading. The neoclassical growth model is not synonymous with the solow model. If one refers to "the" neoclassical growth model, in most cases this means the ramsey-model, sometimes an OLG model but surely not the solow model. This article needs a major rewrite. 84.73.207.121 (talk) 21:53, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

 * True. For instance, Acemoglu (Introduction to Modern Economic Growth, Ch. 8), refers to the Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans model as "the neoclassical growth model". This article needs to be rewritten. Let's start be moving it to the appropriate lemma. --bender235 (talk) 21:30, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Technology things
The production function with different technology presentation, we could solve all the growth model with the following different technologies:
 * Labor augmenting (Harrod neutral) technology $$Y=F\left(K,AL\right)=K^{\alpha}\left(AL\right)^{1-\alpha}$$,
 * Capital augmenting technology $$Y=F\left(AK,L\right)=\left(AK\right)^{\alpha}L^{1-\alpha}$$
 * Hicks neutral technology $$Y=AF\left(K,L\right)=A\left(K\right)^{\alpha}L^{1-\alpha}$$
 * embodied technology $$Y=K^{\alpha}L^{1-\alpha}$$, after remove technology from K, $$Y=\left(A\bar{K}\right)^{\alpha}L^{1-\alpha}$$ where $$\bar{K}=\frac{K}{A}$$, then when viewed with Y and $$\bar{K}$$, it is capital augmenting technology.

By the way, which technology was used in Solow's original paper? Is there anyone who has checked this? Jackzhp (talk) 18:39, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

A possible problem with the graphs
I think the first graph should have a k rather than the K as the variable on the horizontal axis. k=K/L so I think as it stands it is potentially misleading. The other graphs also seem to be labelling axis with Y and K even when variables are y and k. (Msrasnw (talk) 14:42, 27 October 2011 (UTC))

 * Yes. Basically you have to copy the graph to your favorite image program and manually change it, then re-upload it to Commons as a derivative work (easiest if you use their "old upload wizard").  Volunteer Marek   10:13, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Sorry I have made a minor pigs ear of the graph with a stry k in the title - still it is better than it was.... I will tidy later (Msrasnw (talk) 18:01, 1 December 2011 (UTC))

I think I have fixed them now (Msrasnw (talk) 00:18, 2 December 2011 (UTC))

wrong
"A key prediction of neoclassical growth models is that the income levels of poor countries will tend to catch up with or converge towards the income levels of rich countries as long as they have similar characteristics – for instance saving rates. Since the 1950s, the opposite empirical result has been observed on average. If the average growth rate of countries since, say, 1960 is plotted against initial GDP per capita (i.e. GDP per capita in 1960), one observes a positive relationship."

The key phrase in the above is "as long as they have similar characteristics". Hence this para is talking about conditional convergence. Then the article goes on to say:

"These observations have led to the adoption of the conditional convergence concept....Evidence for conditional convergence comes from multivariate, cross-country regressions."

So the article contradicts itself. What it is obviously trying to do - very very clumsily is to say that "absolute convergence" doesn't hold but "conditional convergence" does (sort of). But "absolute convergence" is NOT an implication of the model, and especially not a "key prediction" of it.

You are correct. The presentation was incorrect in several places in its explanation of convergence to the steady state. I have edited the text, and I think I have eliminated the errors. Macroprofe (talk) 16:34, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

There are more than one thing wrong with this model. The most obvious one is the absence of land values from what is a variation on the Cobb Douglas equation for productivity (which has the same fault). Without the use of land no production is possible and the more valuable the land the greater amount of productivity is possible. Adam Smith seems to have been completely forgotten, since land was the first of his 3 factors of production and is not capital. Durable capital goods being the second factor does not vary in value with population density as land does. Also land cannot be made in the way that all kinds of durable capital goods does nor can it depreciate in the same way.

Another erroneous part of the Solow-Swan model is that knowledge is a part of the third factor labor. Skilled workers with suitable knowledge are more productive but their knowledge cannot simply be purchased and immediately applied without it becoming a part of the work-force. It should not be separated from the labor part although it is seen that in the equation it is kept very close to the labor part itself.Macrocompassion (talk) 06:23, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

"Neoclassical growth model"
Neoclassical growth model redirects here, but surely it should redirect to the Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans page, which is only rarely identified as Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans and is almost always called the neoclassical growth model. 128.135.100.102 (talk) 22:10, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
