Ben Wyvis

Ben Wyvis (Beinn Uais) is a mountain in Easter Ross, in the northern Highlands of Scotland. It lies north-west of Dingwall, in the council area of Highland, and the county of Ross and Cromarty. Ben Wyvis is a large winding and undulating ridge running roughly north–south for about 5 km, the highest point of which is Glas Leathad Mòr at 1046 m. Geologically, the ridge is composed of Moine pelitic gneiss. The mountain is prominent in views of the area, presenting a whale-back shape above the farmland of Strathconon.

Ben Wyvis is an important habitat for several species of plants and birds, and is designated as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Of particular importance is the woolly hair-moss that covers the summit plateau. This springy moss provides ideal nesting territory for dotterel that breed here each summer: Ben Wyvis represents at least 2.4% of the breeding population in Great Britain.

Name
The name 'Ben Wyvis' is believed to come from Beinn Uais, which probably means "high or lofty mountain", from the same root as uasal (noble, lofty). Another suggestion is that it comes from Beinn Uabhas, "mountain of terror".

Landscape
Ben Wyvis is a large winding and undulating ridge running roughly north–south for about 5 km, the highest point of which is called Glas Leathad Mòr ("the great green slope") at 1046 m above sea level.

To the south lies the Corbett of Little Wyvis, which is separated from Ben Wyvis by the Bealach Mòr. The A835 road between Dingwall and Ullapool runs to the west and south of these mountains, whilst the Kyle of Lochalsh railway line passes to the south, following a route between Dingwall and Kyle of Lochalsh. Loch Glass lies to the northeast, whilst the land to the northwest is mountainous and largely uninhabited, and crossed by no roads until the A837, some 30 km to the north.

Geology
Ben Wyvis is primarily composed of Moine schist, which was formed as sediment around 1,000 to 870 million years ago during a period when the landmass that is now Scotland was covered by shallow seas. As the amount of sediment increased the layers underwent metamorphism due to the increased temperature and pressure, resulting in the formation of a hard, water-resistant rock. This schist was subjected to further upheaval during the Caledonian orogeny, leading to formation of waves and folds which are visible in the rocks.

During the Ice Age much of Scotland was periodically covered by ice sheets, with glaciers forming in corries and glens. During the final phase of this period, much of Ben Wyvis was covered by ice. The presence of glacial erratic boulders can be interpreted as marking the upper extent of the ice sheet, with the top of Ben Wyvis remaining free of ice.

History
Ben Wyvis stands on the northern edge of historic lands of Clan Munro. By tradition, the Munros held their land from the Crown. The king declared that they held their lands on condition of furnishing a snowball at midsummer if required. This condition they could easily fulfil, as snow was to be found in some of the mountain corries of their property all year round.

The Battle of Bealach nam Broig was fought between rival clans near the pass that separates Ben Wyvis from the lower summit of Carn Mòr, which lies to the northwest. Clans from lands to the north-west who were allied to Clan Mackenzie fought against north-eastern clans (including Clan Munro) who supported the Earl of Ross. The actual date of the battle is debated, but is thought to be 1452.

From the sixteenth century cattle-droving was one of the major economic activities in the highlands, and Ben Wyvis lay near to a major drove road between northwest Scotland and the cattle markets of the south. Drovers often took a shortcut across the southern flanks of the mountain, following the Allt á Bhealaich Mhòir before crossing the bealach between Ben Wyvis and Little Wyvis then rejoining the main route near Auchterneed. The drove road was still being used into the early twentieth century. There are remains of a settlement at Garbat which may have been used as a holding point for the drovers and their cattle. The sites of buildings (including iron workings) found along the Allt á Bhealaich Mhòir are also thought to date from this period.

Modern ownership
The southern and western sides of Ben Wyvis are now owned by NatureScot, forming the Ben Wyvis NNR, whilst the northern and eastern flanks form part of a privately owned sporting estate, Wyvis Estate. The lower slopes to the west of the NNR are forested, and owned by Forestry and Land Scotland. As with all land in Scotland, there is a right of responsible access to most of the land on and surrounding Ben Wyvis under the Scottish Outdoor Access Code for people wishing to undertake pursuits such as walking, cycling, horse-riding and wild camping: this applies regardless of whether the land is in public or private ownership.

Nature and conservation

Ben Wyvis is home to over 170 plant species, including the nationally scarce dwarf birch, as well as other rare species, such as alpine foxtail. The summit ridge of Ben Wyvis is carpeted moss-heath, forming one of the longest single tracts of this habitat anywhere in Britain. The summit plateau is dominated by the woolly hair-moss Racomitrium lanuginosum, whilst little shaggy moss Rhytidiadelphus loreus is found in areas that experience regular snow cover due to drifting. The lower slopes of the mountain support dwarf shrub heath and boglands, which are home to a variety of plants including dwarf birch, cloudberry, dwarf cornel and alpine bearberry.

Several species of butterfly are found at Ben Wyvis, including the pearl-bordered fritillary and the large heath butterfly. The area is also home to several species of dragonfly including the large red damselfly and the golden-ringed dragonfly. The mountain is an important breeding ground for the dotterel, which use the moss-heath of the plateau to breed: Ben Wyvis represents at least 2.4% of the breeding population for dotterel in Great Britain. Ptarmigan also breed on upland areas of the reserve, nesting in higher areas among the boulders and scree. Other birds at Ben Wyvis include golden plover, red grouse and ravens, as well as birds of prey such as peregrine falcon and golden eagle.

Deer are common at Ben Wyvis, with red deer in particular being frequently seen. Sika deer can be occasionally spotted at the edges of the woodland that fringe the area, with roe deer also preferring the cover of the forest. Other mammals at Ben Wyvis include mountain hare on the open slopes, and pine marten in the woodland. Deer numbers are managed via an annual cull in order to reduce grazing pressures on vegetation. Culling at Ben Wyvis is undertaken by a leaseholder, who rents the deer stalking rights from NatureScot.

Ben Wyvis National Nature Reserve
The Ben Wyvis National Nature Reserve encompasses the western and southern slopes of Ben Wyvis, and the summit plateau of Glas Leathad Mòr, which stands at 1,046 metres above sea level. Managed by NatureScot, the reserve contains a range of important habitats for wildlife, as well as important geological features. The reserve habitats range from scattered native woodland and shrub-rich heath on the lower slopes, moorland further upland, and a mosaic of upland communities on the high tops and crags.

The Reserve was established in 1982, and extended to include additional land on the southern and western side of the mountain in 1985. In 1996 the boundary was altered again, excluding land that was not owned by NatureScot from the reserve. The NNR is classified as a Category II protected area by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Ben Wyvis is also designated as a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

Tourism
Ben Wyvis is usually climbed from the west, starting just south of Garbat on the A835 road, where there is a car park maintained by Forestry and Land Scotland. The path follows the north bank of the Allt a' Bhealaich Mhòir through the forest, before entering the NNR. From here the route ascends more steeply to reach An Cabar, the southernmost of the summits that lie along the main ridge. An alternative route, also accessed from the car park, takes in the Top of Tom a' Choinnich, which lies to the north of the main summit: the two routes can be combined to make a circular route.

The popularity of Ben Wyvis with visitors, coupled with the fact that moss-heath is much more susceptible to damage than grass or heather, has led to significant erosion on the main ascent route. On the summit plateau the path has become "braided" into several adjacent routes. Since 2011 NatureScot have been undertaking restoration work; on slopes leading to the summit plateau this has involved the use of traditional path-building techniques. On the summit plateau, however, NatureScot have trialled an alternative method, encouraging the use of a single route to allow bare areas to recover by removing loose stones and transplanting small sections of vegetation.

During the 1980s there were proposals for the construction of downhill skiing infrastructure on Ben Wyvis.

User:Macador~enwiki/Pogrom in Rostock-Lichtenhagen

 * This article is currently in the translation process.
 * Original article is at de:Pogrom_von_Rostock-Lichtenhagen edit from de.wikipedia.org (versions/authors)
 * Any help or comments welcome. --Macador

Lichtenhagen, a suburb of the german town of Rostock, gained notoriety in August 1992, when local residents and neonazis from over the country committed the worst pogrom in post-war Germany which lasted for several days and nights.

Lichtenhagen lies in Rostock's northwest. It was one of the city's first Plattenbau areas, meant to provide affordable housing space. The closeness of the Warnemünde seaside resort makes it a popular place to live in.

In 1992, the ZASt (Zentrale Aufnahmestelle für Asylbewerber, a home for asylum-seekers) was located in an eleven-storey building in Lichtenhagen, called the "sunflower house" because of the painting of sunflowers on its front. The home was known for the degrading conditions its inhabitants had to dwell in. They were barely cared for at all, and the local authorities ignored numerous complaints from inhabitants and neighbours of the ZASt regarding the hygienic and general conditions.

The attacks
Xenophobic attacks on individuals from the sunflower house had happened before, but on August 22 1992 a crowd of young people appeared and began throwing stones at inhabitants of the house, who fled inside. The crowd began to smash in the windows. Police intervened only hesitantly and withdrew when the attackers resisted them.

In the following nights more and more people arrived to either participate in the attacks on the sunflower house or in the fights with the police, but most just stood by and watched. Many even applauded or chanted xenophobic slogans.

At the dawn of the third day (August 24th), the ZASt building was evacuated. However, a house nearby in which 115 vietnamese people lived was not evacuated, because the authorities believed it was inhabited only by germans. The attacks now turned towards this house. Young antifa activists who tried to protect the house and its inhabitants and who struggled against the attackers were arrested in the evening, leaving the vietnamese families to the mob.

That night, a crowd of mostly young germans threw stones and molotov cocktails at the building while the onlookers chanted "Foreigners out!". Nazi skinheads broke into the entrance, destroyed the inside with baseball bats and yelled "We will get each one of you, now you will be roasted" while they spilt petrol and set it on fire.

Among the more than one hundred people trapped inside the house was a tv team of the german station ZDF. Eyewitness Thomas Euting, director of the saxony regional studio, reports: "The emergency exits, leading into the adjoining buildings, had been locked and secured with chains by german neighbours to prevent the bothersome foreigners from entering." Euting considered the situation so dangerous that he wrote a farewell letter to his wife.

Luckily, the vietnamese and the tv crew managed to get on the building's rooftop, while the house was burning in the lower storeys. The fire brigade could not get throught the violent crowd, and police refused to blaze them a trail, saying they did not have enough men. The pogrom lasted until the next night, when the situation could finally be put back under control with the help of police units from outside.

Belarusian Social Democratic Party (People's Assembly)

The Belarusian Social Democratic Party (People's Assembly) (Беларуская сацыял-дэмакратычная партыя (Народная Грамада); Белорусская социал-демократическая партия (Народная Грамада)) is an unregistered social-democratic political party in Belarus that opposes the administration of President Alexander Lukashenko.

The party is a full member of the Socialist International.

History
The BSDP (People's Assembly) was established in March 1991. It calls itself the successor of the Belarusian Socialist Hramada, which was founded in 1903.

The party was left unregistered in 2004, when the government claimed that the reelection of party leader Mikalay Statkevich had been conducted illegally. Some party members then formed the Belarusian Social Democratic Party (Assembly), which was registered. In legislative elections held between October 13–17, 2004, the party did not secure any seats.

On May 31, 2020, the party's leader Mikola Statkevich was arrested on his way to a rally where signatures for Svetlana Tikhanovskaya were being gathered. He was sentenced to 15 days for participating in an unsanctioned protest. This sentence was extended two more times, and he was tried again on June 29 for organizing unrest. Viasna Human Rights Centre called the accusations politically motivated and demanded the immediate release of Statkevich.

On December 14, 2021, Statkevich was sentenced to 14 years in prison. Along with him, Ihar Losik, Sergei Tikhanovsky and three other political prisoners were also sentenced. Throughout the 565 days he has spent in detention, Statkevich was not allowed to get access to legal representation or defence and he has been denied all contact with his family.

Conservative Christian Party – BPF

The Conservative Christian Party of the Belarusian People's Front (Кансэрватыўна-Хрысьціянская Партыя - БНФ; Консервативно-христианская партия — БНФ) is a former political party in Belarus that opposes the government of president Alexander Lukashenko. It was de facto formed after the split of the Belarusian People's Front in 1999.

History
The October 2004 legislative elections were boycotted by the party, led by Zianon Pazniak. These elections fell according to the OSCE/ODIHR Election Observation Mission significantly short of OSCE commitments. Universal principles and constitutionally guaranteed rights of expression, association and assembly were seriously challenged, calling into question the Belarusian authorities' willingness to respect the concept of political competition on a basis of equal treatment. Principles of an inclusive democratic process—whereby citizens have the right to seek political office without discrimination, candidates can present their views without obstruction, and voters can learn the views and discuss them freely—were largely ignored.

The Conservative Christian Party refused to join the oppositional coalition led by Alaksandar Milinkievič in 2006, as they cited the inability to ensure ethical behaviour in Lukashenko's administration, in the voting process, and the calculation of votes. The election ended cycle ended with voting falsifications and was not acknowledged by either the EU or the United States.

The party opposed the Russian language having the status of an official language in Belarus, which is a status it was given in the 1995 Belarusian referendum.

The party boycotted all parliamentary elections (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016) since Lukashenko's consolidation of power in 1996.

On 20 July 2023, the Supreme Court of Belarus decided to liquidate the party.

In the 2018 elections to local councils of deputies, 11 representatives were elected from the party.

In the 2019 Belarusian parliamentary election, the party did not nominate candidates on party lists, and 1 representative of the party was nominated through the collection of signatures.

On 9 August 2023, the Social Democratic Party of Popular Accord was liquidated by the Supreme Court of Belarus.

Talk:Berlin–Baghdad railway

the railway and ww1 by chatgpt
Yes, the Baghdad Railway, also known as the Berlin-Baghdad Railway, was indirectly related to the causes of World War I. The railway project itself was a significant geopolitical issue that contributed to the complex web of alliances, rivalries, and tensions leading up to the war. The Baghdad Railway was a proposed railway line that would connect Berlin, Germany, to Baghdad, Iraq, passing through modern-day Turkey and reaching the Ottoman Empire's territories in the Middle East. The project was initiated by the German government in the late 19th century and was aimed at expanding German influence in the region, facilitating trade, and establishing a direct route to the Persian Gulf, thus bypassing the traditional maritime routes controlled by the British. The railway's construction faced various challenges, including political, financial, and technical obstacles. It required the cooperation of the Ottoman Empire, which was under pressure from various European powers, particularly Germany and the United Kingdom. The railway's route also ran through areas of strategic importance to other European powers, most notably Russia and Britain. As tensions between European powers escalated in the years leading up to World War I, the Baghdad Railway became intertwined with broader geopolitical rivalries. The British, in particular, were concerned about the potential expansion of German influence in the Middle East, which could threaten British interests in the region and the security of their maritime trade routes to India. The railway project fueled suspicions and fears among the European powers, contributing to the overall atmosphere of distrust and rivalry. While the Baghdad Railway itself was not the sole cause of World War I, it added to the underlying tensions and complex network of alliances that eventually led to the outbreak of the war in 1914. In summary, while the Baghdad Railway was not a direct cause of World War I, its construction and the geopolitical maneuvering surrounding it played a role in shaping the pre-war landscape of European rivalries and contributed to the overall instability in the years leading up to the conflict.

Sam Doyle

Thomas "Sam" Doyle (1906–1985) was an African-American artist from Saint Helena Island, South Carolina. His colorful paintings on sheet metal and wood recorded the history and people of St. Helena's Gullah community.

Early life
Sam Doyle was born in 1906 near Frogmore, on St. Helena Island. He attended elementary school at the Penn School, a school for freed African-Americans founded by Unitarians and Quakers from Pennsylvania. It was at the Penn School that Doyle's teachers first recognized his artistic talent and they encouraged him to pursue his practice. Doyle dropped out of the Penn school in the ninth grade and found employment variously as a store clerk, porter, groundskeeper and finally as a laundry worker.

He married Maude Brown in 1931 or 1932; the two divorced in 1949. Doyle died in 1985 in Beaufort, South Carolina.

Art practice
Doyle continued his art practice in the 1940s, showing his paintings on sheet metal at first in his yard that he called his "Outdoor World-Wide-International Gallery". Doyle would use discarded materials such as metal roofing, plywood, and house paint for his art, exhibiting a rudimentary, but unique art style. After his retirement he took up his art practice more fully in 1968.

Doyle was heavily influence by the Gullah culture of St. Helena Island, known for its high levels of African retention. Doyle documented the strengths, weaknesses, trials, and blunders of his fellow St. Helena residents through painting their portraits. Doyle also documented popular figures of the African American community. Legends like Ray Charles, Martin Luther King Jr, and Jackie Robinson were portrayed in Doyle's collection.

Doyle's work was included in the 1982 exhibition Black Folk Art in America at the Corcoran Gallery of Art.

Collections
Doyle's paintings and sculptures are held in the permanent collections of American Folk Art Museum, the High Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Pérez Art Museum Miami, the Gibbes Museum of Art and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. and Penn Center (Penn School on St. Helena Island).

Dorothy Harrison Eustis

Dorothy Leib Harrison Wood Eustis (May 30, 1886 – September 8, 1946) was an American dog breeder and philanthropist, who founded The Seeing Eye, the first dog guide school for the blind in the United States. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 2011.

In 1927, Eustis was 41 years old and living in Switzerland where she bred German Shepherds as police dogs when she wrote an article for The Saturday Evening Post, a popular weekly magazine. The piece described a German dog guide training school for blind veterans of the First World War and sparked a flood of mail, including a letter from a 20-year-old blind man named Morris Frank who promised to help set up a similar school in the United States if Eustis would train him to use a dog guide. Eustis invited Frank to Switzerland, where he spent five weeks learning to work with Buddy, the first of his six dog guides (all named Buddy). A year later, in December 1928, Eustis and Frank launched The Seeing Eye in Frank’s hometown of Nashville, Tennessee.

Eustis’ legacy has been long-lasting. Her work helped spawn dog guide schools in the United States and around the world, and also paved the way for using service animals to help people with various disabilities. Because The Seeing Eye refused to see its students as charity cases, Eustis is also credited with helping to change public attitudes toward the disabled and contributing to the disability rights movement that began in the 1970s.

Early life and education
The sixth and youngest child of businessman and philanthropist Charles Custis Harrison and his wife Ellen Nixon Waln Harrison, Eustis grew up in a prominent Philadelphia family whose social circle included some of the most influential people of their day. Her father, Charles C. Harrison, was the grandson of John Harrison, who established the first chemical factory in the United States. Charles owned a highly profitable sugar refinery, which he and his partners sold for a reported price of $10 million. He then became the provost at his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, and raised an estimated $11 million for the university over 16 years.

Eustis’s mother was the great-granddaughter of Robert Morris, who helped fund the American Revolution and the great-great-granddaughter of John Nixon, who was chosen to do the public reading of The Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia four days after it was signed. Ellen Harrison was also active at the University of Pennsylvania, raising money for the university hospital and overseeing the landscaping of the university grounds.

Eustis attended the Agnes Irwin School, a private girls' school in Philadelphia from the fall of 1901 through the spring 1903, and then attended the Rathgowrie School in England.

Personal life
Eustis married her first husband, Walter Abbott Wood Jr., the wealthy son of a farm machinery manufacturer, on Oct. 6, 1906 in Old St. David’s Church in St. David’s, Pa. and then moved to her husband’s hometown of Hoosick Falls, New York, a small community just ten miles south of the Vermont border. The couple had two children: Walter Abbott III (1907–1993) and Harrison (1914–1938).

During her years in Hoosick Falls, Eustis and her husband, a local politician, developed an experimental breeding program for cattle on their farm. In 1914, during a trip to Europe with her husband, Eustis acquired her first German Shepherd, a dog named Hans. The dog later proved to be part of the inspiration for The Seeing Eye. As Willi Ebeling, who worked closely with Eustis to get The Seeing Eye off the ground and served as the organization’s executive vice president for many years, explained: "The first half of his [Han's] life was spent bringing his owners to the realization of what a wonderful dog the old-fashioned German Shepherd really was. The last half of his life was spent watching his owners attempt to regain the old over the present day breed; (sic) to find and retain the working temperament and the usefulness that was present in the breed before the great war (World War I)".

Widowhood and remarriage
A turning point in Eustis' life came Oct. 8, 1915, when husband Walter died of complications from typhoid fever, making her a 29-year-old widow with two young children, ages 1 and 8. She returned to Philadelphia in 1917, and married a second time on June 23, 1923, this time to George Eustis, a polo player 13 years her junior and the stepson of the pianist Josef Hofmann.

Shortly after their wedding, the couple began renting Hofmann’s chalet on Mt. Pèlerin in the Swiss Alps and started breeding German shepherds and training them to work as police dogs. To help them with their project, they hired Elliot "Jack" Humphrey, a self-taught geneticist and animal trainer. Humphrey would later be instrumental in developing the method for training dogs, as well as students, at The Seeing Eye.

The Saturday Evening Post article
On November 5, 1927, The Saturday Evening Post published an article by Eustis about a school outside Berlin that trained German war veterans who had been blinded by mustard gas in World War I. Soon the publishing company was forwarding her piles of letters from readers who wanted to know more. One stood out from the rest. It was from Morris Frank, the young man from Nashville Tenn.

“Is what you say really true?’’ Frank wrote. “If so, I want one of those dogs! And I am not alone. Thousands of blind like me abhor being dependent on others. Help me and I will help them. Train me and I will bring back my dog and show people here how a blind man can be absolutely on his own. We can then set up an instruction center in this country to give all those here who want it a chance at a new life.’’ By the end of 1928, Eustis had divorced her second husband George and launched a new venture: The Seeing Eye.

The Seeing Eye
For the first three years of its existence, The Seeing Eye had no permanent facility, so trainers traveled to different cities to hold their classes. That changed in 1931 when Eustis purchased a ten-bedroom mansion in Whippany, New Jersey that had enough room to house students while they were learning to work with their dogs. The school relocated to a newly constructed, and more user-friendly facility in Morristown in 1966.

Eustis continued to play an active role in the affairs of The Seeing Eye until 1940 when she resigned as president and took on the role of honorary president and a member of the board of trustees. By then she had also become increasingly more devoted to Christian Science, and had begun a Christian Science healing practice. (Although she grew up in the Episcopal Church, she became a Christian Scientist around 1926. ) Eustis continued the practice until 1945, the year before she died.

Eustis died in her New York City home on September 8, 1946, aged 60.

Spherical astronomy

Spherical astronomy, or positional astronomy, is a branch of observational astronomy used to locate astronomical objects on the celestial sphere, as seen at a particular date, time, and location on Earth. It relies on the mathematical methods of spherical trigonometry and the measurements of astrometry.

This is the oldest branch of astronomy and dates back to antiquity. Observations of celestial objects have been, and continue to be, important for religious and astrological purposes, as well as for timekeeping and navigation. The science of actually measuring positions of celestial objects in the sky is known as astrometry.

The primary elements of spherical astronomy are celestial coordinate systems and time. The coordinates of objects on the sky are listed using the equatorial coordinate system, which is based on the projection of Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere. The position of an object in this system is given in terms of right ascension (α) and declination (δ). The latitude and local time can then be used to derive the position of the object in the horizontal coordinate system, consisting of the altitude and azimuth.

The coordinates of celestial objects such as stars and galaxies are tabulated in a star catalog, which gives the position for a particular year. However, the combined effects of axial precession and nutation will cause the coordinates to change slightly over time. The effects of these changes in Earth's motion are compensated by the periodic publication of revised catalogs.

To determine the position of the Sun and planets, an astronomical ephemeris (a table of values that gives the positions of astronomical objects in the sky at a given time) is used, which can then be converted into suitable real-world coordinates.

The unaided human eye can perceive about 6,000 stars, of which about half are below the horizon at any one time. On modern star charts, the celestial sphere is divided into 88 constellations. Every star lies within a constellation. Constellations are useful for navigation. Polaris lies nearly due north to an observer in the Northern Hemisphere. This pole star is always at a position nearly directly above the North Pole.

Positional phenomena

 * Planets which are in conjunction form a line which passes through the center of the Solar System.
 * The ecliptic is the plane which contains the orbit of a planet, usually in reference to Earth.
 * Elongation refers to the angle formed by a planet, with respect to the system's center and a viewing point.
 * A quadrature occurs when the position of a body (moon or planet) is such that its elongation is 90° or 270°; i.e. the body-earth-sun angle is 90°
 * Superior planets have a larger orbit than Earth's, while the inferior planets (Mercury and Venus) orbit the Sun inside Earth's orbit.
 * A transit may occur when an inferior planet passes through a point of conjunction.

Ancient structures associated with positional astronomy include

 * Arkaim
 * Chichen Itza
 * The Medicine Wheel
 * The Pyramids
 * Stonehenge
 * The Temple of the Sun

Franklin Hiram King

Franklin Hiram King (8 June 1848 – 4 August 1911) was an American agricultural scientist who was born on a farm near Whitewater, Wisconsin, attended country schools, and received his professional training first at Whitewater State Normal School, graduating in 1872, and then at Cornell University. King is now best remembered for his first-hand account of traditional agricultural practices in Asia, now regarded as an organic farming classic text.

King served as a professor of agricultural physics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison from 1888 until 1902. Interested in a wide range of subjects throughout his career, King made major contributions during these years in research and teaching that dealt with applications of physics to agriculture. Most attention was given to soil physics, for example, water-holding capacities of soils, moisture requirements of plants, aeration, movement of water in soils, movement of groundwater, the drafts of plows, and the lifting power of windmills; he also began studies of soil fertility. The impact of his career was greatest in the field of soil science. He has been called the father of soil physics in the United States.

King left Wisconsin to become chief of the Division of Soil Management in the USDA Bureau of Soils in Washington, D.C. in January 1902. His findings in the next two years, that the concentration of nutrients in soil solution was correlated with crop yields, began to undermine beliefs held strongly by the chief of the bureau, Milton Whitney, about the relations of soil chemistry to plant growth and soil fertility. King was forced to resign but privately published several additional papers from his research during this period.

King returned to Madison, where he devoted the last seven years of his life to summarizing earlier findings and conducting further research in agricultural physics, including the ventilation of farm buildings. Three of his seven books were written during that period, the best known of which is Farmers of Forty Centuries, or Permanent Agriculture in China, Korea, and Japan, which recounted his investigations into what would now be called organic farming or sustainable agriculture during a nine-month tour of Asia in 1909. The last chapter was completed after his death, in 1911, by Carrie Baker King, his wife, who then published the book that same year. It has been described by Lord Northbourne—the founder of organic agriculture—as a "classic" which "no student of farming or social science can afford to ignore".

He is most popularly known for designing the cylindrical storage silo, which reduces the occurrence of spoilage in the silage. Some have speculated that Frank Lloyd Wright's design of the Guggenheim Museum was influenced by King's designs. King is commemorated at the University of Wisconsin–Madison by King Hall, so renamed in 1934, which is the same Agricultural Physics Hall in which he worked during his tenure there and which now houses part of the Department of Soil Science (formed by the 1904 reorganization of King's original department into the 'Soils Department' and the 'Agricultural Engineering Department'), and by the F. H. King Students for Sustainable Agriculture, a student organization that grows various crops that are given away to community residents to raise awareness of sustainable farming and gardening.

TMA Cargo

Trans Mediterranean Airways SAL, styled as TMA Cargo (الخطوط الجوية عبر المتوسط), was a cargo airline based in Beirut, Lebanon. The airline restarted operations in 2010, following a six-year hiatus. It suspended operations once again in September 2014.

TMA Cargo was a member of IATA and of the Arab Air Carriers' Organization.

History
The airline was established and started operations in 1953 as a non-scheduled carrier operating cargo and passenger services. It was certified as the only Lebanese scheduled all-cargo carrier in 1959. It acquired its first Douglas DC-4 four-engine cargo aircraft in May 1959 and its first pressurized Douglas DC-6A freighter in March 1963.

Trans Mediterranean Airways (TMA) was the first all-cargo carrier to establish round the world services in both directions. However the Lebanese crisis adversely affected TMA growth and operation. In November 1996, following the Lebanese "Horizon 2000" reconstruction plan, the airline took measures to modernise its operations, restructure activities and increase capital to around $40 million. TMA was owned by Lebanese Air Investment Holding (99.9%) and private investors (0.1%).

In 2000, TMA introduced a new livery to their fleet. The new livery featured a white body with a grey belly, green 'TMA' and yellow 'CARGO' titles across the fuselage and new green decals on the tail.

In 2002, TMA leased an Airbus A310-304F from Islandsflug during April to November, to operate their European routes as the Boeing 707's had been banned from Europe. The airline also planned a new passenger charter airline called TMA-Leisure which would have leased an Airbus A320 aircraft to operate for Lebanese tour-operators. However, this never happened. During 2002, TMA made a $11 million loss.

TMA ceased all flights in February 2004 when the Lebanese Civil Aviation Authority (LCAA) pulled its Air Operating Certificate (AOC) citing safety concerns over its aging Boeing 707 fleet. The airline was in serious financial troubles and as a result was unable to modernize its fleet.

In September 2005, there were reports that TMA was planning to relaunch operations with a renewed fleet by acquiring medium-haul freight aircraft to replace their grounded 707 fleet, small freighter aircraft for feeder routes, and two Boeing 747-200F aircraft for long-haul freighter flights to the far east, this never happened.

In 2008, Mazen Bsat, Lebanese investor, owner and CEO of Med Airways (formally Flying Carpet), bought TMA for $1 in exchange of clearing the airlines $60 million debt.

In October 2009, TMA launched renovated facilities and a new image, following this TMA also announced that they are to relaunch services. They acquired an Airbus A300-600F for the new cargo operations. In February 2010, the aircraft was painted in the new TMA Cargo livery.

Destinations
TMA Cargo resumed scheduled operations to 14 destinations from their hub in Beirut. As well as the 14 scheduled destinations, TMA Cargo also introduced charter flights on special request to various countries throughout Europe.

Historic Fleet
In September or December 2014, its last aircraft was returned to lessor. TMA Cargo operated the following aircraft as of December 2012:

TMA Cargo plans to add more Airbus A300 freighters once they begin to expand.

Historic
TMA operated the following aircraft before ceasing operations in 2004:
 * Airbus A310-304F - leased from Islandsflug
 * Avro York
 * Boeing 707-320C
 * Boeing 707-330C
 * Boeing 747-100SF
 * Canadair CL-44 - operated by Seaboard World Airlines
 * Douglas DC-4
 * Douglas DC-6

Incidents and accidents
TMA had 14 incidents and accidents, four of which had fatalities. The total fatality count during operations (1953–2004) was 20.

TMA had the following incidents and accidents until ceasing operations in February 2004;

 * On 9 July 1962, TMA Flight 104, a Douglas DC-4, crashed shortly after take-off from Brindisi Airport, Brindisi, Italy. The flight took off at 21:41 (GMT), however the plane struggled to gain height and began to descend followed by the plane tilting to the left and colliding with the sea. All 6 crew members were killed.
 * On 12 December 1963, a TMA Douglas DC-4, flying from Kuwait International Airport, Kuwait to Kabul International Airport, Afghanistan, crashed into the White Mountains, Afghanistan. The plane was diverting to Lahore due to weather condition at Kabul. All three crew members were killed.
 * On 10 March 1966, a TMA Douglas DC-6, flying from Beirut International Airport, Lebanon to Frankfurt Airport, Germany, crashed into Mt Parnon, Greece. All five crew members were killed.
 * On 23 July 1979, a TMA Boeing 707-320C, on a test flight for 4 co-pilots due to be promoted to captains, crashed whilst on a third touch-and-go at Beirut International Airport. The plane touched down but then yawed right to left to right again before the wing clipped the ground causing the plane to flip and come to rest inverted across a taxiway. All six crew were killed.

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have.  You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox.  When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines.  First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette.  Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame)  20:23, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I want to explain why I redirected your article Water polo clubs to the main article. The new article consisted mainly of a description of the sport - which of course belongs under Water polo, and for the list of clubs it referred the reader to that article. So a redirect works better. Deb 21:51, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Observational astronomy

Comments
This page has been expanded out, but there's plenty more that needs to be included. It could use, for example, information on observing the planets and the sun. Thanks. — RJH 20:24, 13 Jun 2005 (Uso since

Pictures
I'm going to get to this page this weekend but I'd like to know what people want for image subjects for this page? Good article, needs some love and something more flashy! Friedlad (talk) 00:51, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Possible Issue
Under Observation Tools, in the third line of the second paragraph, there is a phrase in parenthesis "(pointed east, of course!)" that may be out of style and may or may not be false information. 70.128.43.16 (talk) 14:44, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Also under Observation Tools, in the second bullet, there is another phrase in parenthesis "(and argue over!)" that may be out of style and although scientists may argue, debate may be a more appropriate term. 70.128.43.16 (talk) 14:48, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Priority
The articles on Galileo and Thomas Harriot imply that Harriot was using a telescope before Galileo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.162.31 (talk) 11:10, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Headings
I've added headings, but they could certainly be improved. Is there a Wiki series on astronomy box? If not, I'd like to start working on one Antihistoriaster (talk) 05:27, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
