River Oaks Elementary School (Prince William County)
Unnotable primary school. Dunc|☺ 13:54, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Well written, excellent stub. If not kept, merge to Prince William County Public Schools. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:45, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Let me reiterate, Tony, simply because an article is well written, concise, or informative doesn't alter the fact that it is being written about something with no encyclopaedic value. Jasonglchu 15:07, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay. I see somewhat where you're coming from, after reading Schools. I still feel as though this article (and the others currently up for deletion) fails to meet the established criteria in that article, specifically that further NPOV information cannot be gathered. Jasonglchu 15:27, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: in that case it can be merged to the school district, Prince William County Public Schools. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 16:44, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Fair enough. I could see how that would be both encyclopaedic and useful. Jasonglchu 16:46, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete non notable. NeoJustin 17:38, June 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Longhair | Talk 17:40, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: It's a school. Hey, that's wonderful, but we don't provide listings and indexes of all of any thing in the world, unless the things in their particulars are worthy of discussion, and especially not as separate articles.  There is no point in "every church" or "every restaurant" or "every mall" or "every factory," and not in "every school," either.  If people want us to replace the county records office, the Yellow Pages, and the national records, then they're not waning us to remain an encyclopedia. Geogre 17:49, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Do I detect a glimmer of a merge vote there? On the idea that we're not Yellow Pages or whatnot, indeed we're not. I think we can do a much better job, presenting encyclopedic and neutral information rather than commercial information. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 17:56, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge. Christopher Parham (talk) 18:31, 2005 Jun 8 (UTC)

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live.

Arland D. Williams Jr. Elementary School
An article about a primary school so notable most of it is about a plane crash. Dunc|☺ 13:55, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article does look a bit unbalanced and could benefit from a cleanup. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:43, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge with a local school district article. Much of the content focuses on Arland D. Williams Jr., and is redundant with that article. — RJH 17:27, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Longhair | Talk 17:39, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This school has a story to tell, although as Tony says, it can use a clean up.  DS1953 17:51, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The school does not have a story to tell.  A person who happened to live in the same town as the school has a story to tell. --Carnildo 18:38, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keepity and cleanup. Ketsuban (is 1337) 19:57, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. There's already an article on Williams.  Without the duplicate material this is a generic stub. Gamaliel 20:26, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Schools belong in the encyclopedia. "Needs a cleanup" isn't a valid reason to delete.   Un focused 20:48, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, just because somebody may be of questionable notability doesn't mean that everything named for them is notable. RickK 22:14, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean-up by shortening the reference to Mr. Williams. I agree with WP:SCH. Double Blue  (Talk) 22:55, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * keep but it should be cleaned up too Yuckfoo 23:29, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep We should have an article on every school CalJW 05:22, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Matton. Vegaswikian 05:41, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Until there is enough to say about an individual school for it to merit its own article (which is NOT the case here) MERGE into an article on its parent school district. Dogmatically voting to keep as an independent article based on the generic subject without regard to the state of the actual content is really revolting.  If all those who claim to care so much about schools would actually spend time structuring these bland posts into useful content, none of these would be placed on VfD in the first place.  Postdlf 06:06, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Did you check to see whether those voting keep had done any school editing?  I don't think you did.  I have just looked at every keep voter on this discussion, and failed to find a single one who does not engage in school article cleanup. You're putting the cart before the horse in any case; WP:SCH recommends merge as an alternative to listing deletion, and this is likely to be far, far more effective because no discussion is involved, you just do it and move on. If all those listing for deletion would just carry out that minimal act of maintenance we wouldn't need to have *any* schools listed on VfD.  And that would be a good thing.  It seems that May VfD closings are heading for 100% keep, and I really don't expect June VfD closings to be any different.  Wikipedia doesn't like to delete school articles.  --Tony Sidaway|Talk 09:19, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with your last comment—I wish people would just merge these useless stubs rather than listing them for deletion. As to your first comment, my apologies to those who have actually cleaned up school articles, but I so very rarely see it happen during a VfD discussion (if ever).  The typical story is that the "article," containing little more than an address, is listed for deletion and a parade of generic "keep" votes appear that bear no specific relationship to the content of the "article," which remains just as pathetic at the close of the discussion.  More people would vote "keep" if there was actually something worth keeping when they're considering their votes.  Postdlf 16:11, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * To a large extent, the specific content of the article is not relevant to the deletion. The article is being put up for deletion due to a "lack of notability." This is inherant in the topic, not the content of the article. Either the topic is notable or it is not, regardless of the article's content, or so it seems to me. If nominators are here to contest the notability of schools, they can expect repetative keep votes as well as repetative delete votes, because most every nomination is the same debate. If nominators want articles improved, merge them or send them to cleanup. Christopher Parham(talk) 21:41, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
 * Yes. It's all in Deletion policy.  If only people would read and act on it, we'd see fewer VfD listings that end in "keep" or "no consensus" or "merge" as schools seem to do 98% of the time (and I really *mean* 98%!) --Tony Sidaway|Talk 21:58, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I think you're being unfair. I think so many people are voting keep (and there do seem to be a lot of them) precisely because the school articles are often cleaned up.  You mean you really think more people would vote keep?  I'm surprised at the idea! --Tony Sidaway|Talk 17:17, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Mattoon, Illinois unless expanded. If the school is notable it is only on a local level. I will bite both the deletionist and inclusionist camp here.
 * Biting the deletionists: You know (or should know) that articles about schools will always be kept. So there is not much point in nominating them just so you can make your delete votes. Being bold and merging this immediatetely requires only two edits, as opposed to the three required for nominating this for deletion.
 * Biting the inclusionists: Er... Postdlf has already done this, I concur with a lot of what he says here. Sjakkalle (Check!)  06:24, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay, fine. See my reply. I do resent the implication that someone who doesn't agree with deletion of an article should do cleanup on it (VfD is not, or should not be, cleanup) but as it happens those whom you castigate here do not deserve it because they have all cleaned up school articles. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 09:24, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to bite very hard. Sorry if you were offended, and I have think your efforts with school articles are admirable. :-) But I think that very short two-liners might as well be merged, and then unmerged later if someone wants to expand it, and my agreement with Postdlf was that it was not neccesary to vote an outright "keep" on twoliners. Sjakkalle (Check!)  11:58, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * changing Keep vote to Neutral. I am the original author of this article, and I need to confess that I did not follow the WP:SCH guidelines. I was working on the article about the plane crash the school's namesake was involved with. As school articles are not my forte, I need to abstain, and will be satisfied with better judgement of others in this matter. Vaoverland 04:42, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Alpha Sagittarii

Alpha Sagittarii (α Sagittarii, abbreviated Alpha Sgr, α Sgr), also named Rukbat, is a star in the constellation of Sagittarius.

Properties
Alpha Sagittarii is a blue, class B dwarf star. It does not appear particularly bright in the sky to the naked eye, with a visual apparent magnitude of +3.97.

The star has an effective temperature about twice that of the Sun and is nearly three times as massive, with a luminosity in visible wavelengths about 117 times that of the Sun. Based on an excess emission of infrared radiation, it may have a debris disk, much like Vega. It is a single-lined spectroscopic binary system. The ROSAT All Sky Survey discovered that Alpha Sagittarii is emitting an excess flux of X-rays, which is not expected to originate from a star of this spectral class. The most likely explanation is that the companion is an active pre-main sequence star or else a star that has just reached the main sequence.

Nomenclature
α Sagittarii (Latinised to Alpha Sagittarii) is the star's Bayer designation. It is unclear why Bayer designated this star as the alpha in his Uranometria star atlas (placing it in the second magnitude class), rather than Kaus Australis or Nunki, which are at least five times brighter than α Sgr. This led some old star charts to occasionally depict Alpha and Beta Sagittarii as much brighter than they are in reality, as they are invisible from northern Europe, being too far south to see there.

The star bore the traditional names Rukbat and Alrami, derived from the Arabic rukbat al-rāmī 'the knee of the archer'. The star Delta Cassiopeiae also bore the traditional names Ruchbah or Rukbat, from the Arabic word ركبة rukbah meaning "knee". In 2016, the International Astronomical Union organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN's first bulletin of July 2016 included a table of the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN; which included Rukbat for this star (Delta Cassiopeiae was later given the name Ruchbah ).

In Chinese, 天淵 (Tiān Yuān), meaning Celestial Spring, refers to an asterism consisting of Alpha Sagittarii, Beta¹ Sagittarii and Beta² Sagittarii. Consequently, the Chinese name for Alpha Sagittarii itself is 天淵三 (Tiān Yuān sān, the Third Star of Celestial Spring.)

This star, together with Beta¹ Sagittarii and Beta² Sagittarii, were Al Ṣuradain (ألسردين), the two Surad, desert birds.

In popular culture
A fictionalized version of the Rukbat system is the setting for Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series of novels. In the canon of this series, the system has five planets in standard orbits, two asteroid belts, an Oort cloud, and has also captured a rogue planet into a highly eccentric orbit which passes both through the Oort cloud and through the inner solar system on a 250 year orbit.

Alpinia zerumbet

Alpinia zerumbet, commonly known as shell ginger among other names, is a perennial species of ginger native to East Asia. The plants can grow up to 8 to 10 ft tall and bear colorful funnel-shaped flowers. They are grown as ornamentals and their leaves are used in cuisine and traditional medicine.

Names
Alpinia zerumbet is called a "shell ginger" or "shell flower" most commonly, because its individual pink flowers, especially when in bud, resemble sea shells. Other common names in English include "pink porcelain lily", "variegated ginger, "butterfly ginger", and "light galangal".

In Japan, A. zerumbet is called gettō (ゲットウ [月桃]) in standard Japanese. In the languages of the Ryukyu Islands, it is known as sannin (サンニン) on Okinawa, shanin (シャニン) on Tanegashima in the Ōsumi Islands, sa'nen (サネン) on Amami Ōshima, sani (サニ) on Okinoerabujima, samin (サミン) on Miyako-jima, samin (サミン), sa'nin (サニン) and sami (サミ) on Ishigaki Island, sami (サミ) on Taketomi Island and sa'nin (サニン) on Iriomote Island. It is known as souka (ソウカ) on Chichijima in the Bonin Islands and sōka (ソーカ) in the Daitō Islands east of the Ryukyus.

In Taiwan, A. zerumbet is called yuètáo (月桃) in Mandarin Chinese, hó͘-chú-hoe (虎子花) or ge̍h-thô/go̍eh-thô (月桃) in Taiwanese Hokkien kiéu-kiông (枸薑) or ngie̍t-thò (月桃) in Siyen Hakka. In the island's aboriginal languages, it is known as silu in Bunun, jiaboe and garyo in Paiwan, bussiyan, bissiyan and bassiyan in Atayal and lalengac in Sakizaya.

In China, it is called yànshānjiāng (艷山薑), as well as yùtáo (玉桃), cǎoběn zhíwù (草本植物) and dà húluóbo (大胡蘿蔔) among other names.

Characteristics
Native to eastern Asia, Alpinia zerumbet is a rhizomatous, evergreen tropical perennial that grows in upright clumps 8 to 10 ft tall in tropical climates. It bears funnel-formed flowers. Flowers have white or pink perianths with yellow labella with red spots and stripes. There are three stamens, but only one has pollen. There is one pistil. The fruit is globose with many striations. In more typical conditions, it reaches 4 to 8 ft feet tall in the green house, and 3 to 4 ft feet tall, as a house plant.

It was originally called Alpinia speciosa, which was also the scientific name of torch ginger. To avoid the confusion, it was renamed A. zerumbet while torch ginger was reclassified in the genus Etlingera. No species is accepted as A. speciosa today.

Cultivation
Alpinia zerumbet is best grown in rich medium-wet, to wet well drained soils in full sun to part shade. Afternoon shade in hot summer climates, is recommended. Indoors, the plant must have bright light and humid conditions. Flowering rarely occurs before the second year.

Uses
The long leaf blades of A. zerumbet are used for wrapping zongzi, a traditional Chinese dish made of rice stuffed with different fillings. In Okinawa, Japan, its leaves are sold for making an herbal tea and are also used to flavor noodles and wrap muchi rice cakes.

The plant's dried fruits are treated as one of the numerous medicinal spice ingredients in a Sichuan hot pot soup base under the name shārén (沙仁) in Sichuan Mandarin Chinese.

Statistically, Okinawan natives who consume a traditional diet that includes A. zerumbet have a very long life expectancy. Recent research has investigated its effects on human longevity and the phytochemicals that may be responsible.

A. zerumbet contains many kavalactones structurally related to the compounds in kava (Piper methysticum) and may help prevent high glucose induced cell damage.

As long as a select few of the articles are good (say, one hundred thousand), several hundred thousand more are medicore, and several million more are just plain bad, an impartial observer would think the one hundred thousand good ones illustrate the level of quality on wikipedia despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

 * I dont see how this article "ignores all standards" at all. As Grace Note just noted, Wikipedia is a work in progress. If the majority of the articles are "bad" it is solely because they have yet to be worked on. Just because an article is not in a highly-polished finished form does not mean it merits deletion. Also, I was not arguing that we should keep this article "just because we can". I was merely stating that any argument that we should not keep this article because of space constraints is invalid. Therefore I was arguing that we should  keep the article because we (as this VfD vote has more or less proven) as a community beleive it should stay AND because we can logistically have it stay. -CunningLinguist 07:21, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I disagree. I think that a rational and impartial observer would measure wikipedia by the total amount of encyclopedic information.  If the majority of wikipedia articles are not encyclopedic, then it will not be well thought of as an encyclopedia.  There is a faction here that believes an encyclopedia should include every scrap of information in that ever has existed.  This is not the point of wikipedia, otherwise, we would not have a list of what wikipedia is not.  As wikipedia is not paper, it can include much that a paper encyclopedia cannot, but the information still needs to be encyclopedic. Indrian 03:30, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * We can differ on whether school articles are generally encyclopedic, and on whether a given school article is encyclopedic. I think it's readily apparent that Wikipedia very rarely regards school articles as irretrievably unencyclopedic. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 03:35, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not convinced that rational and impartial observers on the whole spend their days in "measuring" Wikipedia. Some might even be quite impressed to find a short, informative article on even the most banal of things. Personally, I am deeply impressed at the quality of our breadth of coverage. Yes, there are rubbish short articles, but so very many good ones too. And I take a delicious pleasure in making the former into the latter where I can. Grace Note 04:24, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Very well said Grace Note, I completely agree. I personally find an amazing part of Wikipedia to be when I find articles that a traditional encyclopedia would not cover, such as say on pop culture info. No we should not just cover any scrap of information imaginable but at the same time, this is not just any other old encyclopedia, I think we are trying to go above and beyond that. -CunningLinguist 07:19, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Francesco Morosini

Francesco Morosini (26 February 1619 – 16 January 1694) was the Doge of Venice from 1688 to 1694, at the height of the Great Turkish War. He was one of the many Doges and generals produced by the Venetian noble Morosini family. He is said to have "dressed always in red from top to toe and never went into action without his cat beside him."

Early career
Morosini first rose to prominence as Captain-General of the Venetian forces on Crete during the siege of Candia by the Ottoman Empire. He was eventually forced to surrender the city, and was accused of cowardice and treason on his return to Venice; however, he was acquitted after a brief trial.

In 1685, at the outbreak of the Morean War, Morosini took command of a fleet against the Ottomans. Over the next several years, he captured the Morea with the help of Otto Wilhelm Königsmarck, as well as Lefkada and parts of western Greece. He also briefly captured Athens but was unable to hold it, and attempted a failed siege of the former Venetian fortress of Negroponte. His fame reached such heights that he was given the victory title Peloponnesiacus, and was the first Venetian citizen to have a bronze bust placed during his own lifetime in the Great Hall, with the inscription Francisco Morosini Peloponnesiaco, adhuc viventi, Senatus.

Destruction of the Parthenon and loot of sculptures from Athens
During the Morean War the Parthenon was used as a gunpowder magazine by the Ottoman Army. On September 26, 1687, Venetian mortars bombarding Athens scored a direct hit on the edifice. An attaché of the Swedish field commander General Otto Wilhelm Königsmarck wrote later: "How it dismayed His Excellency to destroy the beautiful temple which had existed three thousand years!". By contrast Morosini, who was the commander in chief of the operation, described it in his report to the Venetian government as a "fortunate shot".

When he conquered the Acropolis in early 1688, Morosini attempted to loot Athena's and Poseidon's horses and chariots from the western pediment of the Parthenon, but the sculptures fell on the ground and smashed. This was the first documented attempt to remove sculptures from the pediments. The Ottoman Empire regained possession of the monument in the following year and, having noticed the damage, began to sell souvenirs to Westerners.

Morosini also took the Piraeus Lion as a war trophy to the Venetian Arsenal.

Doge
In the summer of 1688, Morosini, now having been proclaimed Doge of Venice, attacked Negropont but was unable to capture it and was forced to return to Venice when plague broke out among his troops. He embarked on a final campaign in 1693, but was again unsuccessful in taking Negropont, and returned to Venice after sacking some minor coastal towns. After his death in 1694, a large marble arch was placed in his honor at the Doge's Palace. Nini, the cat of which Morosini was notably fond, was embalmed along with a mouse between her paws. Nini and the mouse are current exhibits at the Museo Correr in Venice.

Commemoration

 * The Scuola Navale Militare Francesco Morosini is named for him.
 * The Ruggiero di Lauria-class ironclad ITALIAN IRONCLAD Francesco Morosini, launched on 30 July 1885, completed in 1889, and stricken in 1909, was named for him.
 * The Francesco Caracciolo-class battleship Francesco Morosini, laid down in 1915 but scrapped in 1921 prior to launching, was named for him.

William Keith, 7th Earl Marischal

William Keith, 7th Earl Marischal (1614 – 1670 or 1671) was a Scottish nobleman and Covenanter. He was the eldest son of William Keith, 6th Earl Marischal.

Life
During the English Civil War, the 7th Earl Marischal joined James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose against the Gordons and twice seized Aberdeen in 1639, including a march with Montrose and 9,000 men along the Causey Mounth past Muchalls Castle and through the Portlethen Moss to attack via the Bridge of Dee.

He was appointed a Lord of the Articles after the pacification of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and again seized Aberdeen and enforced signatures of the covenant in 1640. In 1641, he was appointed a Privy Councillor.

He attended covenanting committees in the north but remained inactive in 1643–44. He subsequently refused to give up fugitives to Montrose, and was besieged at Dunnottar Castle in 1645. He took no active steps against the popular party until he joined Hamilton's expedition into England in 1648, escaping from the rout at the Battle of Preston, and entertained Charles II at Dunnottar in 1650. In 1651, the Scottish regalia were left for safe keeping in his castle. He was arrested at Alyth with many other Scottish nobles and generals in an incident known as 'the Onfall of Alyth' and imprisoned in the Tower of London until the Restoration, when he was appointed Keeper of the Privy Seal of Scotland.

The Earl Marischal married, in 1637, Lady Elizabeth Seton (1621–1650), daughter of George Seton, 3rd Earl of Winton, by his spouse Lady Anna Hay, daughter of Francis Hay, 9th Earl of Erroll. They had the following issue:
 * William Keith, Lord Keith, died young.
 * Mary Keith, married firstly to Sir James Hope of Hopetoun in 1657, and secondly to Sir Archibald Murray, 3rd Baronet of Blackbarony.
 * Elizabeth Keith, married in 1658, Robert Arbuthnot, 2nd Viscount Arbuthnot
 * Jean Keith, married in 1669, George Ogilvy, 3rd Lord Banff

Equine infectious anemia

Equine infectious anemia or equine infectious anaemia (EIA), also known by horsemen as swamp fever, is a horse disease caused by a retrovirus (Equine infectious anemia virus) and transmitted by bloodsucking insects. The virus (EIAV) is endemic in the Americas, parts of Europe, the Middle and Far East, Russia, and South Africa. The virus is a lentivirus, like human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Like HIV, EIA can be transmitted through blood, milk, and body secretions. Transmission is primarily through biting flies, such as the horse-fly and deer-fly. The virus survives up to 4 hours in the vector. Contaminated surgical equipment and recycled needles and syringes, and bits can transmit the disease. Mares can transmit the disease to their foals via the placenta. The risk of transmitting the disease is greatest when an infected horse is ill, as the blood levels of the virus are then highest.

Stages
Acute: The acute form is a sudden onset of the disease at full-force. Symptoms include high fever, anemia (due to the breakdown of red blood cells), weakness, swelling of the lower abdomen and legs, weak pulse, and irregular heartbeat. The horse may die suddenly.

Subacute: A slower, less severe progression of the disease. Symptoms include recurrent fever, weight loss, an enlarged spleen (felt during a rectal examination), anemia, and swelling of the lower chest, abdominal wall, penile sheath, scrotum, and legs.

Chronic: The horse tires easily and is unsuitable for work. The horse may have a recurrent fever and anemia, and may relapse to the subacute or acute form even several years after the original attack.

A horse may also not appear to have any symptoms, yet still tests positive for EIA antibodies. Such a horse can still pass on the disease. According to most veterinarians, horses diagnosed EIA positive usually do not show any sign of sickness or disease.

EIA may cause abortion in pregnant mares. This may occur at any time during the pregnancy if there is a relapse when the virus enters the blood. Most infected mares will abort, however some give birth to healthy foals. Foals are not necessarily infected.

Studies indicate that there are breeds with a tolerance to EIA.

Recent studies in Brazil on living wild horses have shown that in the Pantanal, about 30% of domesticated and about 5.5% of the wild horses are chronically infected with EIA.

Prevention and treatment
A vaccine is available, called "Chinese Live Attenuated EIA vaccine", developed in China and widely used there since 1983. Another attenuated live virus vaccine is in development in the United States.

Reuse of syringes and needles is a risk factor for transfer of the disease. Currently in the United States, all horses that test positive must be reported to federal authorities by the testing laboratory. EIA-positive horses are infected for life. Options for the horse include sending the horse to a recognized research facility, branding the horse and quarantining it at least 200 yards from other horses for the rest of its life, and euthanizing the horse. Very few quarantine facilities exist, which usually leads to the option of euthanizing the horse. The Florida Research Institute for Equine Nurturing, Development and Safety (a.k.a. F.R.I.E.N.D.S.) is one of the largest such quarantine facilities and is located in south Florida. The horse industry and the veterinary industry strongly suggest that the risks posed by infected horses, even if they are not showing any clinical signs, are enough of a reason to impose such stringent rules. The precise impacts of the disease on the horse industry are unknown.

Diagnosis

The Coggins test (agar immunodiffusion) is a sensitive diagnostic test for equine infectious anemia developed by Dr. Leroy Coggins in the 1970s.

Currently, the US does not have an eradication program due to the low rate of incidence. However, many states require a negative Coggins test for interstate travel. In addition, most horse shows and events require a negative Coggins test. Most countries require a negative test result before allowing an imported horse into the country.

Horse owners should verify that all the horses at a breeding farm and or boarding facility have a negative Coggins test before using the services of the facility. A Coggins test should be done on an annual basis. Tests every 6 months are recommended if there is increased traveling.

Someone is trying to make it seem impossible for Minnie Riperton, and Mariah carey (who have hit notes very close to C8 with ease)to hit C8 but then say that Adam can go way past that note. The article is contradictory and bias in favor of Adam. It justa simple, but very noticable, error that can be fixed. :)

Very Much True
There are a few articles in which we can see this same bias towards Minnie and Mariah. But they did not go making the rounds trying to establish or break world records, their interest lies in making good music. Judging from the ease and flexibility these singers show in the whistle register we can safely assume that they could sing a C8 note and most likely go beyond that. That they did not choose to do it does not exclude the possibility that they could. With regards to Minnie Riperton, she did not have the type of commercial success that Mariah Carey has and also she died 26 years ago makes it difficult to get a hold on her recordings, so people just make those assumptions having only heard her most popular songs, that, taking a line from the person above, is a simple but very noticable error that can be fixed. :]

upload sound file of me
Does Anyone know how to upload sound files in this page, Becuase I can believe it or not go this hi and I would like to upload a video of me doing it.
 * Given that most people can't hear it, it'd be rather useless. For examples of notes, a piano or synthesizer is probably preferable.  Please sign your comments with four tildes, like the top of the box below. --Deusnoctum (talk) 09:34, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I can do it too (with kandoo XD)
Yes I can sing C#8 easily :) I ever knew most people didnt know it till the above post said but, ya, I can go that high so its not actually that amazing since I am tottally untallented —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.68.174 (talk) 19:18, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Merge proposal
There's really no content here that can usefully be merged to C (musical note). It's odd that Vocal range doesn't already have a trivia list of record holders for extreme pitches (surely any such list should include Yma Sumac). There are things like Category:Singers with a six-octave or greater vocal range and ill-considered redirects like five-octave vocal range.

Voice_classification_in_non-classical_music seems the most suitable candidate. Sparafucil (talk) 22:24, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete this page, and the redirect at "five-octave vocal range". -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 03:36, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Donauinsel

The Donauinsel (Danube Island) is a long, narrow artificial island in central Vienna, Austria, lying between the Danube river and the parallel excavated channel Neue Donau ("New Danube"). The island is 21.1 km in length, but is only 70 - 210 m wide. It was constructed from 1972 to 1988 primarily as a measure for flood protection.

It has since become the most popular recreational area of the city.

Recreation and festival venue
To most visitors, the island is known as a recreational area with bars, restaurants and nightclubs. It has sports opportunities from rollerblading, cycling and swimming to canoeing. There is one beach that, in its beginning, felt so exotic that it was soon nicknamed the "Copa Cagrana" as a humoristic allusion to Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana: Kagran is the part of the 22nd District of Vienna next to that beach. In the southern and northern parts of the island, there are extensive (and free) nude beaches.

The Donauinselfest is an internationally well-known annual open air festival, and Europe's biggest event of this kind, with over three million visitors. It takes place on the last full weekend of June (Friday through Sunday) – except for 2008 (September 5–7), due to Austria (and Switzerland) hosting the European Football Championship.

Reliable flood protection
The main purpose of the island however is to be part of Vienna's highly sophisticated flood protection system. As the river Danube crosses the city (before major extensions: passed nearby), this has been a constant concern over hundreds of years. The first notable protective measures were taken between 1870 and 1875. A central bed, 280 m, was dug out, and an inundation area of 450 m was created at the river's left bank.

In 1970, a new plan was conceived and soon executed: digging an additional channel to replace the former inundation area, and using the spoil to build up the remaining strip of land between the straightened bed from the 19th century flood defense schemes and the newly created one. The new channel is called the Neue Donau (New Danube). After the completion of the works it was envisaged that the resulting island should eventually be used for recreation. The flood control system is designed to protect from flash floods bringing river flows of up to 14,000 m3 per second. This has only happened once in Vienna's history; in 1501. The heavy 2002 flood brought flows of 10,000 m3 per second. It includes the Danube Canal's historic Nußdorf watergate, locks at either end of New Danube, a groundwater level control system integrated into the right bank flood levee (which creates appropriate conditions for the large park area Prater, once part of a wide alluvial forest zone), and the new Freudenau river plant's sluice.

The works were started in March 1972 and finished in 1988. The power plant was added from 1992 to 1998.

External fixation

External fixation is a surgical treatment wherein Kirschner pins and wires are inserted and affixed into bone and then exit the body to be attached to an external apparatus composed of rings and threaded rods — the Ilizarov apparatus, the Taylor Spatial Frame, and the Octopod External Fixator — which immobilises the damaged limb to facilitate healing. As an alternative to internal fixation, wherein bone-stabilising mechanical components are surgically emplaced in the body of the patient, external fixation is used to stabilize bone tissues and soft tissues at a distance from the site of the injury.

History
In Classical Greece, the physician Hippocrates described an external fixation apparatus composed of leather rings connected with four wooden rods from a Cornel tree to splint the fracture of a tibia bone.

In 1840, Jean-Francois Malgaigne described a spike driven into the tibia and held by straps to immobilise a fractured tibia. In 1843 he used a claw-like device to percutaneously hold the fragments of a fractured patella.

Clayton Parkhill of Denver, Colorado and Albine Lambotte of Antwerp, Belgium independently invented the modern concept of unilateral external fixation, in 1894 and 1902, respectively. Lambotte was the first to use threaded pins, however, his device necessitated initial, open fracture reduction and then pin insertion and fixator placement.

In 1938, Raoul Hoffmann of Geneva, Switzerland, building on the work of others, realized that major improvements were essential to make the external fixator more clinically relevant. He developed a technique based on closed reduction with guided percutaneous pin placement. Hoffmann’s technique exemplified the first application of minimally invasive orthopaedic surgery.

In the 1950s, in the USSR, Dr. Gavriil Ilizarov devised and developed and applied the Ilizarov apparatus for treating and resolving fractures, deformities, and defects of the bones of the limbs. A metal frame encircles the limb is attached to the underlying bone by crossing (X) pins inserted through the bone and limb. The external rings are linked to each other by threaded rods and hinges that allow to move the position of the bone fragments without opening the fracture site, then the fragments can be fixed in rigid position until complete healing.

Method
In this kind of reduction, holes are drilled into uninjured areas of bones around the fracture and special bolts or wires are screwed into the holes. Outside the body, a rod or a curved piece of metal with special ball-and-socket joints joins the bolts to make a rigid support. The fracture can be set in the proper anatomical configuration by adjusting the ball-and-socket joints. Since the bolts pierce the skin, proper cleaning to prevent infection at the site of surgery must be performed.

Installation of the external fixator is performed in an operating room, normally under general anesthesia. Removal of the external frame and bolts usually requires special wrenches and can be done with no anesthesia in an office visit.

External fixation is also used in limb lengthening. Typically, the bone is cut diagonally in a surgical procedure. External fixator pins or wires are placed on each side of the split and the external metal apparatus is used to very gradually pull the two sides of the bone apart over a long period of time. Bone will gradually grow into the small gap through distraction osteogenesis.

In most cases it may be necessary for the external fixator to be in place for many weeks or even months. Most fractures heal in between 6 and 12 weeks. However, in complicated fractures and where there are problems with the healing of the fracture this may take longer. It is known that bearing weight through fracture by walking on it, for example, with the added support of the external fixator frame actually helps fractures to heal.

The parts of an external fixator include:
 * 1) Schanz pin
 * 2) Connecting rods
 * 3) Clamps

Indications

 * 1) Stabilization of severe open fractures
 * 2) Stabilization of infected nonunions
 * 3) Correction of extremity malalignments and length discrepancies
 * 4) Initial stabilization of soft tissue and bony disruption in poly trauma patients (damage control orthopaedics)
 * 5) Closed fracture with associated severe soft tissue injuries
 * 6) Severely comminuted diaphyseal and periarticular lesions
 * 7) Temporary transarticular stabilization of severe soft tissue and ligamentous injuries
 * 8) Pelvic ring disruptions
 * 9) Certain pediatric fractures
 * 10) Arthrodesis
 * 11) Ligamentotaxis
 * 12) Osteotomies
 * 13) Open fractures that have significant soft tissue disruption (e.g., type II or III open fractures)
 * 14) Soft tissue injury (e.g., burns)
 * 15) Acetabular  and pelvic fractures
 * 16) Severely comminuted and unstable fractures
 * 17) Fractures that are associated with bony deficits
 * 18) Limb-lengthening procedures
 * 19) Fractures associated with infection or nonunion

Contraindications

 * 1) Patient with compromised immune system
 * 2) Non compliant patient who would not be able to ensure proper wire and pin care
 * 3) Pre-existing internal fixation that prohibits proper wire or pin placement
 * 4) Bone pathology precluding pin fixation

Complications
1.Damage to soft-tissue  structures - Transfixing  pins or wires may injure nerves  or vessels,  or may tether ligaments and inhibit joint movement. The surgeon must be thoroughly familiar with the cross-sectional anatomy before operating.

2. Overdistraction - If there is no contact between the fragments, bone union is unlikely to occur.

3. Pin-track infection - This is  less  likely  with  good operative technique. Nevertheless, meticulous pinsite care is essential to avoid infection.

Types

 * Ilizarov apparatus
 * Octopod External Fixator
 * Taylor Spatial Frame

Pogoniani

Pogoniani (Πωγωνιανή, pronounced, before 1928: Βοστίνα, Vostina; Voshtinë ) is a village and a former community in the Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Pogoni, of which it is a municipal unit. The municipal unit has an area of 56.693 km2, the community 18.830 km2. The municipal unit consists of 4 villages: Pogoniani, Dolo, Drymades, Stavroskiadi.

History
In antiquity the area of Pogoniani was inhabited by Molossians, one of the three main Ancient Greek tribes of the northwestern Greek group.

The establishment of the bishopric of Pogoniani is associated with the reign of Byzantine Emperor Constantine Pogonatos ((r. 641 – 668)) due to the latter's nickname, but it first appears in the Notitiae Episcopatuum during the reign of Andronikos III Palaiologos ((r. 1328 – 1341)). The seat of the archbishop was most likely in Depalitsa (modern Molyvdoskepastos). Pogoniani fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1447.

During the 16th century a successful entrepreneur of Pogoniani's diaspora, Ioannis Giormas, built a commercial complex in Bucharest, which included a church and an inn. This entire complex was to become a hub of the Greek commercial activity there and was nicknamed "Greeks' Inn." The three-aisled Orthodox basilica of Pogoniani was erected in 1873, with donations by the local Zosimas brothers benefactors. In the late Ottoman period and until 1923, the village of Pogoniani (known as Vostina) was inhabited by Muslim Albanians and Romani alongside Orthodox Greek inhabitants, Apart from this village there was no Muslim community in the entire administrative unit (kaza). Until 1924, the Muslims from the village of Pogoniani used to have close relations and exchanges with people from the town of Libohovë in Albania.

During the period prior to the First World War the British member of the International Commission that was responsible of the delineation of the Greek-Albanian border noticed that the villages that were ceded to Albania, which consist of the northern portion of Pogoniani are entirely Greek-speaking. From 1991 to 2012 a vocational training center was operating in the village attended by members of the Greek minority in Albania, with a total of 2,280 graduates. It was founded by the "Institution for the Rehabilitation of Greek co-ethnics from Albania" - supported by the Latsis Foundation - among various initiatives it offered scholarships for students from Albania and supported various financial initiatives in Albania in particular in the operation of various hospitals and medical centers there. Due to its location very close to Albania, employment opportunities and local networks, Pogoniani received large immigration inflow. In the 2001 census, c. 44% of the population of the community of Pogoniani was composed of migrants, mostly Albanians Part of the foreign population (2001) in particular among those attending the local school and the rehabilitation vocational training center came from the ethnic Greek community of Albania.
