Primera Junta

The Primera Junta (First Junta) or Junta Provisional Gubernativa de las Provincias del Río de la Plata (Provisional Governing Junta of the Provinces of the Río de la Plata), is the most common name given to the first government of what would eventually become Argentina. It was formed on 25 May 1810, as a result of the events of the May Revolution. The Junta initially only had representatives from Buenos Aires. When it was expanded, as expected, with the addition of representatives from the other cities of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, it became popularly known instead as the Junta Grande (Grand Junta) or Junta Provisional Gubernativa de Buenos Aires. The Junta operated at El Fuerte (the fort, where the modern Casa Rosada stands), which had been used since 1776 as a residence by the viceroys.

Creation
This Junta—officially named the Junta Provisional Gubernativa de las Provincias del Río de la Plata a nombre del Señor Don Fernando VII (Provisional Governing Junta of the Provinces of Río de la Plata in the Name of Lord Don Ferdinand VII)—allegedly meant to govern in the name of the King of Spain, while he was imprisoned by Napoleon Bonaparte. Juntas were a form of transitional or emergency government that emerged during the Napoleonic invasion in Spanish cities that had not succumbed to the French and which attempted to maintain Spanish sovereignty. The most important for Spanish America was the Junta of Seville, which claimed sovereignty over overseas possessions, given the fact that the province of Seville historically had enjoyed exclusive rights to the American trade. Its claims had been rejected by Spanish Americans, and its authority was quickly superseded by a Supreme Central Junta of Spain, which included American representation. When the Supreme Central Junta abolished itself in 1810, the politically active inhabitants of Buenos Aires saw no better moment than this to establish a local government. They had been influenced by the recent democratic and republican philosophical wave, and were also concerned about the commercial monopoly exerted by the Spanish crown, which was suffocating the local economy. Historically Buenos Aires province had partially mitigated this problem through contraband. Local politicians, such as former council member and legal advisor to the viceroy, Juan José Castelli, who wanted a change towards self-government and free commerce, cited traditional Spanish political theory and argued that since the King had been imprisoned, sovereignty had returned to the people.

The people were to assume the government until the King returned, just as the subjects in Spain had done two years earlier with the establishment of juntas. The viceroy and his supporters countered that the colonies belonged to Spain and did not have a political relationship with the King only. Therefore, they should follow any government body established in Spain as the legal authority, namely the Supreme Central Junta of Spain and its successor, the Council of Regency.

The meeting of a Buenos Aires cabildo abierto (an extraordinary meeting of the municipal council with the assistance of over 200 notables from the government, the church, guilds and other corporations) on 22 May 1810, came under strong pressure from the militias and a crowd that formed in front of the cabildo hall on the Plaza Mayor (today the Plaza de Mayo), up to 25 May. The crowd favored the stance of the local politicians, and the cabildo ended up creating the Primera Junta, the first form of local government in the territory that would later become Argentina. Spain would never recover its dominion over that territory. From the very beginning of the new government, two factions manifested their differences, a more radical one, whose visible leader was the Junta's Secretary, Mariano Moreno, and the conservative wing that supported the Junta's president, Cornelio Saavedra.

In general the principles of the May Revolution were popular sovereignty, the principle of representation and federalization, division of powers, the maintenance of the mandates, and publication of the government's actions

Duration and transformation
Despite the replacement of viceroy Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros, the Royal Audience and the Cabildo stood with the authorities that existed before the revolution, who opposed the Junta since its first day. The Audience refused at first to swear allegiance to the Junta, and when they finally did, prosecutor Caspe did so with clear gestures of contempt. Caspe would later be ambushed near his home, in retaliation for this. The Cabildo imposed a time limit on the Junta: if the General Congress was not formed in six months, the Cabildo would reassume government. The Junta answered the same day, rejecting such requirements. The Audience then requested that the Junta submitted to the Council of Regency, but the Junta refused, on the grounds that Cisneros did not so submit and the Audience did not request him to. The Audience itself swore allegiance to the Council shortly after, and they were all banished in response. Together with the ex-viceroy Cisneros, they were forced to take the ship Dart that left them at the Canary Islands; the exceptions were Márquez del Plata, who was at the Banda Oriental at the time, and the octogenarian Lucas Muñoz Cubero.

From the early days of the Primera Junta there was a strong rivalry between Saavedra and Moreno. According to Ignacio Núñez, the Morenists accused Saavedra of plotting to restore the tyranny of the viceroys in his office, while the Saavedrists accused Moreno of usurping government roles that were not intended for him. Matheu would also point in his memories that the Morenists were upset because they perceived that Saavedra enjoyed receiving honors and distinctions that they had chosen to avoid.

The Junta was received with mixed reactions from the other cities of the viceroyalty. Santa Fe, Entre Ríos, Misiones, Corrientes and Mendoza supported the change, others did not. Upper Peru, which greatly benefited from the system of mita to exploit the mines in Potosi, supported the absolutist system for a long time. Javier de Elío in Montevideo denied recognition to the Junta. Paraguay was torn between supporters of either side, but royalists prevailed. However, the most immediate danger to the Junta came from Cordoba, where Santiago de Liniers came out of his retirement and started to organize an army to lead a counter-revolution against Buenos Aires. The Junta ordered Ortiz de Ocampo to stand against those counter-revolutionaries and bring the leaders as prisoners to Buenos Aires. A later ruling requested to execute them instead, but after defeating Liniers, Ortiz de Ocampo decided to ignore the latter and instead to follow the first ruling. The Junta removed Ocampo from his duty for this act of disobedience, and replaced him with Juan José Castelli. Castelli ordered the execution of the counter-revolutionaries by August 26, with the exception of the priest Orellana. By this time, Mariano Moreno was popularly regarded as the leader of the revolution, whose resolution permitted the radical changes to the absolutist system that the Junta had managed so far.

There's some controversy among historians about the authenticity of the Operations plan, a secret document attributed to Mariano Moreno, that set a harsh government policy in the fields of economics, politics and international relations.

Military authorities, fearing the loss of power by Saavedra, pressured the Junta to control Moreno. Moreno, on the other hand, succeeded in getting the approval of decrees that limited Saavedra and others. By December 1810 tensions had reached a peak. Saavedra got the support of deputies sent by the interior provinces that had not yet been allowed to join the Junta. With this backing, Saavedra gave Moreno his most serious political setback: he forced Moreno to present his resignation on 18 December. With this resignation, the integration of the deputies from the other provinces to the Junta became possible.

Created on 25 May 1810, the Primera Junta was thus transformed on 18 December of the same year into the new Junta Grande by the introduction of representatives from other provinces of Río de la Plata.

Foreign policy
The Primera Junta was concerned with the risk of Portuguese expansion towards La Plata, either directly or through the Carlotist project. The diplomacy in Spain attempted to prevent the dispatch of a punitive army, limiting the armed conflicts to the royalists in Paraguay, Upper Peru and the Banda Oriental. The Junta declared itself a natural ally of any city that revolted against the royalists; either those that did so in support of the May Revolution or those who revolted on their own (Chile and Paraguay shortly after Manuel Belgrano's defeat).

Britain, allied with Spain in the Napoleonic Wars, stayed neutral in the conflicts between patriots and royalists. Nevertheless, the British policy towards the conflict was to favour British trade as long as it did not conflict with the neutral policy.

Marianne (Sergio Endrigo song)

"Marianne" was a song composed, written, and recorded by Italian singer Sergio Endrigo. It in the Eurovision Song Contest 1968 held in London, placing tenth. Cliff Richard recorded later a cover version of the song with English lyrics written by Bill Owen.

Conception
"Marianne" was composed, written, and recorded by Sergio Endrigo. It is a ballad, with the singer expressing his love for the title character. He sings, however, that she never stays with him, and he wonders about what she is doing. Nonetheless, his feelings for her remain unaltered. In addition to the Italian language original version, he also recorded a version with French lyrics by Jacques Chaumelle.

Selection
Radiotelevisione italiana (RAI) internally selected "Marianne" performed by Endrigo as for the  of the Eurovision Song Contest.

Eurovision
On 6 April 1968, the Eurovision Song Contest was held at the Royal Albert Hall in London hosted by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), and broadcast live throughout the continent. Endrigo performed "Marianne" eleventh on the evening, following 's "La source" by Isabelle Aubret and preceding the 's "Congratulations" by Cliff Richard. Giancarlo Bigazzi conducted the event's orchestra in the performance of the Italian entry.

At the close of voting, the song had received 7 points, placing it tenth in a field of seventeen. It was succeeded as Italian representative at the by "Due grosse lacrime bianche" by Iva Zanicchi.

Cliff Richard version
Following the Contest, it was rewritten in English by Bill Owen for Cliff Richard to record. "Marianne" features an accompaniment by the Mike Leander Orchestra and was released as a single in September with the B-side "Mr. Nice", written by Terry Britten. It peaked at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart.

Reception
Reviewing for Record Mirror, Peter Jones described "Marianne" as "a really lovely ballad, a hymn of praise to a chick, and Richard really shows off his vocal range, to a swelling, swirling orchestral backing laid down lovingly by Mike Leander. As ever, it's a distinctive vocal treatment and perhaps Richard's most ambitious bit of actually singing on record". For New Musical Express, Derek Johnson described the song as "a piquant and emotional ballad" that "certainly doesn't register with an immediate impact. But once you've heard it a few times, you'll find that the haunting melody is firmly implanted in your mind, and you just can't lose it".

Track listing
7": Columbia / DB 8476
 * 1) "Marianne" – 3:19
 * 2) "Mr. Nice" – 2:13

7": Columbia / DSA 834 (South Africa)
 * 1) "Marianne" – 3:19
 * 2) "Close to Kathy" – 2:48

Garden dart

The garden dart (Euxoa nigricans) is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is distributed throughout much of the Palearctic. Temperate regions of Europe, Central Asia and North Asia, as well as the mountains of North Africa. Absent from polar regions, on Iceland and some Mediterranean islands (Balearic Islands, Malta, Greek Islands, Crete, Cyprus), as well as in Macaronesia (Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands).

This is a rather drab species, forewings ranging from pale to dark brown with indistinct markings. The hindwings are white with a grey fringe. The wingspan is 32–40 mm. This moth flies at night in July and August and is attracted to light and many different flowers.

Technical description and variation
Forewing black brown with all markings obscured, or dark red-brown with the markings plainer; the edges of stigmata finely black; some ochreous scales on outside of reniform, along the course of submarginal line and at base below cell; hindwing brownish fuscous, the basal half paler in male. More than 20 aberrations are noted by Tutt, grouped, as usual, according to colouration; — the first two, with ground colour grey, are rare: -ab. pallida Tutt with a reddish tinge, and the lines and stigmata all but obsolete; — and ab. flavopallida Tutt, similar, but with the lines and stigmata yellow; -- the following 5 are pale reddish; — ab. rufa Tutt, with lines and stigmata pale: — ab. ruris Haw. with the markings yellow; — ab. obeliscata Haw. with cell black on each side of the orbicular stigma; — ab. striata Tutt with the base, stigmata, lines, and outer nervules yellow ochreous: — and ab. rufovariegata Tutt mottled red and yellow, the stigmata edged with black: — the next 5 are dark reddish brown; — ab. rubricans Esp. with the lines paler; — ab. rufovilis with stigmata and lines yellow; — ab. quadrata Tutt, like the last, but with a square black blotch between the stigmata, as in ab. obeliscata Haw.; — ab. ochrea Tutt, with faint lines but the stigmata and veins ochreous: — ab. fuscovariegata Tutt, purplish-brown mottled with ochreous and with the dark blotch between the stigmata: - in the next 4 the ground colour is blackish-brown or blackish fuscous, as in typical nigricans L.; — ab. dubia Haw. with lines and stigmata deeper, and with a conspicuous waved submarginal line: — ab. fumida smoky brown with ochreous reniform and yellowish submarginal line; — ab. marshallana sooty brown with dark lines and ochreous stigmata: — ab. ursina God. with lines and stigmata dark, a submarginal row of wedge-shaped spots and the outer edge of reniform stigma whitish; — ab. rustica Er. much smaller than the last, with the markings obsolete; — the last group has the ground colour black; — ab. carbonea Hbn. with lines and stigmata yellowish; — ab. fumata with the upper stigmata pale-edged; — ab fumosa F. with a submarginal row of whitish wedge-shaped spots; — and ab. fuliginea God. wholly black, with the very faintest of markings. Euxoa nigricans is difficult to certainly distinguish from its congeners. See Townsend et al.
 * Euxoa obelisca ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775)
 * Euxoa tritici (Linnaeus, 1761)
 * Euxoa cursoria (Hufnagel, 1766)

Biology
Larva ochreous grey, paler, more greenish, at sides; lines greenish edged with black: the subspiracular line whitish and double; head with black speckling. The larva is green or brown with two white stripes down each side. It feeds on a range of plants (see list below). The species overwinters as an egg.

NWA World Tag Team Championship (Los Angeles version)

The Los Angeles version of the NWA World Tag Team Championship was the main tag team professional wrestling championship of the North American Wrestling Alliance, a member of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), which promoted shows in and around Los Angeles. The championship was the first of at least 17 championships to use that name between 1949 and 1992, as the NWA Board of Directors allowed each territory to create its own version of the NWA World Tag Team Championship if it so desired. In 1957 there were at least 13 different versions of the NWA World Tag Team Championship recognized in the United States.$[Championships]$ Since it was a professional wrestling championship, it was not won through legitimate competitive matches, but instead determined by the decisions of the booker(s) of a wrestling promotion.

The first version of the Los Angeles NWA World Tag Team Championship was created in 1949, less than a year after the NWA itself was founded. At the time, tag team wrestling was popular on the West Coast, leading to the local NWA promoters Hugh Nichols and Johnny Doyle creating the first-ever NWA World Tag Team Championship when they announced The Dusek Family (Ernie and Emil Dusek) as the first champions on July 14, 1949. The NWA Board of Directors dictated that all NWA territories recognize only one NWA World Heavyweight Champion, but allowed each territory to crown its own world tag team champion, making each championship a regional championship despite the name. The Los Angeles territory promoted its NWA World Tag Team Championship for eleven years, with Ben and Mike Sharpe being the last champions of the era. The Duseks were the only team to hold the championship twice in that period of time. The longest reign of the first era belonged to Guy Brunetti and Joe Tangero, who held the championship for at least 277 days. After the Los Angeles version was abandoned, the local promoters recognized the San Francisco version in subsequent years.

By the 1970s the San Francisco territory had been taken over by Mike and Gene Lebell's NWA Hollywood Wrestling. In June 1970 the Twin Devils (two masked wrestlers identified only as Twin Devil #1 and Twin Devil #2) were billed as the NWA World Tag Team Champions. Records are not clear on how the Twin Devils became champions; since no records of a tournament have been found, it is possible they were simply awarded the championship when the Lebells decided to reintroduce the NWA World Tag Team Championship. Los Brazos (Spanish for "The Arms"; Brazo de Plata and Brazo de Oro) were the last holders of the championship as NWA Hollywood Wrestling closed in December 1982. From that point on, the NWA Mid-Atlantic version was the only active NWA Word Tag Team Championship left.

Darwin's tubercle

Darwin's tubercle (or auricular tubercle) is a congenital ear condition which often presents as a thickening on the helix at the junction of the upper and middle thirds.

History
This atavistic feature is so called because its description was first published by Charles Darwin in the opening pages of The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, as evidence of a vestigial feature indicating common ancestry among primates which have pointy ears. However, Darwin himself named it the Woolnerian tip, after Thomas Woolner, a British sculptor who had depicted it in one of his sculptures and had first theorised that it was an atavistic feature.

Prevalence
The feature is present in approximately 10.4% of the Spanish adult population, 40% of adults in India, and 58% of Swedish school children. This acuminate nodule represents the point of the mammalian ear. The trait can potentially be bilateral, meaning present on both ears, or unilateral, where it is present on only one ear. There is mixed evidence in regard to whether the bilateral or unilateral expression is related to population, or other factors. Some populations express full bilateral, while others may express either unilateral or bilateral. However, bilateral appears to be more common than unilateral as it pertains to the expression of the trait.

Inheritance
The gene for Darwin's tubercle was once thought to be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern with incomplete penetrance, meaning that those who possess the allele (version of a gene) will not necessarily present with the phenotype. However, genetic and family studies have demonstrated that the presence of Darwin's tubercle may be more likely to be influenced by one's environment or developmental accidents than it is by genetics alone. There is no clear argument for whether the trait has significance in sexual dimorphism studies or age related studies. In some studies, there is clear data that Darwin's tubercle is not associated with sex. In contrast, others indicate that there is a correlation with sexual dimorphism between men and women, where men tend to have the tubercle more than women in some populations. Two studies indicate that older men tend to have greater expression of Darwin's tubercle than do older women.

Science Channel

Science Channel (often simply branded as Science; abbreviated to SCI) is an American pay television channel owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. The channel features programming focusing on science related to wilderness survival, engineering, manufacturing, technology, space, space exploration, ufology and prehistory.

, Science Channel is available to approximately 34,000,000 pay television households in the United States-down from its 2013 peak of 78,000,000 households. Along with American Heroes Channel, Boomerang, Cooking Channel, Destination America, Discovery Family, and Discovery Life, Science Channel is among the less prevalent networks of Warner Bros. Discovery.

In recent years, Science Channel has lost carriage with the growth of streaming alternatives including its parent company's Max, and has generally been depreciated by Warner Bros. Discovery in current retransmission consent negotiations with cable and streaming providers.

History
In November 1994, Discovery Networks announced plans for four digital channels set to launch in 1996. Discovery originally named the network under the working title Quark!; this was changed before its launch to the Discovery Science Network. Discovery Science launched in October 1996 as part of the simultaneous rollout of the new channel suite (alongside Discovery Home & Leisure, Discovery Kids and Discovery Civilization). In 2007, adult shows began airing around the clock weekdays, while younger children shows began airing around the clock weeknights.

The channel has undergone various rebrandings throughout its history. Its name was first modified to the Discovery Science Channel in 1998, and then was renamed The Science Channel in 2002, as the first network in the Discovery Networks digital suite to drop the "Discovery" brand from its name (however, international versions of the channel continue to use the "Discovery Science" name). The channel later shortened its name to just Science Channel in 2007 as part of a rebrand that included the introduction of a new logo based on the periodic table; in 2011, the network rebranded as simply Science, introducing a new logo and graphics package designed by Imaginary Forces. In 2008, the channel changed its programming to adult-oriented, and removing all shows for elementary children.

On December 23, 2016, Discovery Communications debuted a new logo for Science after five years. This rebrand was done by Sibling Rivalry, a New York–based design agency.

High definition
The channel launched a high-definition simulcast feed that broadcasts in 1080i; it was launched on September 1, 2009, along with Discovery Channel HD, TLC HD and Animal Planet HD.

Programming
Science Channel broadcasts a number of science-related television series originally produced by or aired on Discovery Channel, such as Beyond Tomorrow, among others. Discovery Communications has also produced a few programs specifically for Science, such as MegaScience and What The Ancients Knew. Programs from other Discovery Networks channels, PBS and the BBC are either regularly or occasionally aired on the network. Television series produced in the 1990s, such as Discover Magazine and Understanding, are carried on the network's weekday schedule. The Science Channel also broadcasts programs such as Moments of Impact and An Idiot Abroad. The channel has infrequently added reruns of several science fiction series like Firefly, Helix and Fringe to its schedule.

International
There are international versions of Science in Southeast Asia, Europe, France, United Kingdom, Italy, India, Sweden, Turkey, Canada, Latin America and Australia. The channels are branded Discovery Science and do not broadcast all of the same shows as the US channel.

The Edge of Heaven
Hi, Lighterside! I ran across the recent edits you made to The Edge of Heaven (film) and was wondering something. You added Category:Lesbian-related films. From reading the article, it seems as though there's one lesbian relationship, but that it's not central to the film, and is more of a "by the way". Could you clarify? Is the film really "lesbian-related", or is there a lesbian relationship between two characters in an action-adventure movie? Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 15:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Time-division multiplexing

Untitled
this page should stick to just the concept (perhaps with brief examples) of time-division multiplexing, and the in-depth information on cell phone systems should be placed elsewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.112.86.171 (talk • contribs) 07:37, 9 June 2005

This page doesn't identify whether time division multiplexing uses a time quantum for each slice or slot or whether the slice (or slot) can be variable in duration. Would the term slice be a synonym for slot?

Multiplexing is the simple part. Arbitration for the resource (the output channel) is the hard part and is only briefly and indirectly suggested in the section on statistical TDM. Perhaps somebody with more knowledge can elaborate.

Links to frequency division multiplexing might be appropriate.

Also, TDM is not limited to digital systems. Analog TDM has been around for years as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.221.5.234 (talk • contribs) 16:01, 13 June 2006

 * How is it that TDM can be analog (or digital)? It's time-division; there's inherently nothing analog or digital about it. The TDM aspect is irrelevant and unrelated to whether the communication that occurs over the channel is analog or digital. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.55.52.11 (talk • contribs) 22:03, 12 November 2008

TDM is also not limited to communication systems, for example TDM could be used to control an array of LEDs while reducing the pin count on the array and controller circuits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.24.6.134 (talk) 23:42, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

STDM
Our lecturer uses STDM to refer to Synchronous Time Division Multiplexing. On Wikipedia, this is called Time Division Multiplexing, and STDM refers to Statistical Multiplexing.

Thanks, --Elín 16:46, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Kanha Tiger Reserve

Kanha Tiger Reserve, also known as Kanha–Kisli National Park, is one of the tiger reserves of India and the largest national park of the state of Madhya Pradesh. The present-day Kanha area is divided into two protected areas, Hallon and Banjar, of 250 and 300 km2, respectively. Kanha National Park was created on 1 June 1955 and was designated tiger reserve in 1973. Today, it encompasses an area of 940 sqkm in the two districts Mandla and Balaghat.

Together with a surrounding buffer zone of 1,067 sqkm and the neighbouring 110 sqkm Phen Sanctuary, it forms the Kanha Tiger Reserve, which is one of the biggest in the country. This makes it the largest national park in central India.

The park hosts Bengal tiger, Indian leopard, sloth bear, barasingha and dhole. It is also the first tiger reserve in India to officially introduce a mascot, Bhoorsingh the Barasingha.

Flora
Kanha Tiger Reserve is home to over 1000 species of flowering plants. The lowland forest is a mixture of sal (Shorea robusta) and other mixed-forest trees, interspersed with meadows. The highland forests are tropical moist, dry deciduous type and of a completely different nature from bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus) on slopes. A notable Indian ghost tree (Sterculia urens) can also be seen in the dense forest.

Fauna
Kanha Tiger Reserve hosts populations of Bengal tiger, Indian leopard, dhole, sloth bear, Bengal fox and Indian jackal. The barasingha is adapted to swampy areas. The gaur inhabits meadows and waterholes in the park. Blackbuck has become very rare. The reserve hosts around 300 species of birds and the most commonly seen birds are the black ibis, Asian green bee-eater, cattle egret, plum-headed parakeet, Indian pond heron, drongo, common teal, crested serpent eagle, Indian grey hornbill, Indian roller, lesser adjutant, little grebe, lesser whistling teal, minivet, Malabar pied hornbill, woodpeckers, pigeon, Indian paradise flycatcher, hill myna, Indian peafowl, red junglefowl, red-wattled lapwing, steppe eagle, Tickell's blue flycatcher, white-eyed buzzard, white-breasted kingfisher, white-browed fantail, wood shrikes, warblers, and vultures among many more.

Reintroduction of barasingha
An exciting conservation effort in this national park is the reintroduction of barasingha. The gaur will be relocated to Bandhavgarh and some barasingha will be relocated to Satpura Tiger Reserve. The objective of this project is to introduce about 500 barasingha in this national park to eight or nine different locations. There is also a project to capture about twenty tigers and relocate them to Satpura Tiger Reserve.

Tiger conservation and the Baiga tribe
Members of the Baiga tribe, a semi-nomadic tribe of central India that is reliant on the forest, lived in 28 villages that had been within the Kanha National Park until 1968, when they were relocated. The relocation was part of an effort to maintain a critical tiger habitat. The land to which they were relocated is barren and they now suffer from malnourishment. The last of the villages to be relocated for the tiger habitat is in the core zone of the Kanha Tiger Reserve. The area is the ancestral home of the Gond and Baiga tribes. In January 2010, Baiga tribe were illegally evicted from the park without proper compensation from the government, according to Survival International.

In its efforts to maintain and restore tiger habitats, WWF-India has worked to create corridors that support the tigers and their prey, thereby stabilizing the tiger population. This includes efforts to prevent loss of life or property of humans, reduce human dependency on the forest, and reduce retaliatory killings of tigers when people have experienced losses.

Kanha's frontline staff continue to receive support, training and equipment from WWF.

Transportation and access
The Jabalpur Airport 175 km / 04:30hrs) has direct flights to and from Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Pune, Belgaum and Bhopal, with AirIndia, SpiceJet and IndiGo operating daily flights. Nagpur (Mukki 240 km and Raipur (Mukki 185 km) have other airports.

Jabalpur is a major railway stations with train connectivity across India. From Jabalpur, the best way to travel is via Mandla, which has a tourist taxi service to the park, and one can reach up to Chiraidongri the newly added Broad Gauge station via Jabalpur, Nainpur railway route to enter national park through Kanha gate. In pre-planned journey one of shortest road route is Jabalpur-Bargi Dam-Ganhsor-Thanwar Dam-Chiraidongri-Kanha National Park. Other route Jabalpur to Mandla (via NH-30)-Chiraidongri- Kanha route is preferred when arrival permission is to be taken from National Park authority at Mandla. This National Park can also be approached from Raipur - Gandai - Malanjkhand - Baihar highway route via Mukki Gate to National Park. M.P. Tourism and Private owners has hotels, resorts near to Mukki Gate. Similar stay facilities is also available at Khatia and Kanha Gate.

There are three gates for entrance into the park. The Kanha/Kisli gate is best accessed from Jabalpur and stops at the village Khatia, inside the buffer area. The second gate is at Mukki and the third, most recently opened, gate is at Sarhi.

Ecosystem valuation
An economic assessment study of Kanha Tiger Reserve estimated that the tiger reserve provides flow benefits worth 16.5 billion rupees (0.80 lakh / hectare) annually. Important ecosystem services from the tiger reserve include gene-pool protection (12.41 billion year), provisioning of water to downstream regions (558 million) and provisioning of fodder in buffer areas (546 million). Other services included recreation value (384 million), provision of habitat and refugia for wildlife (319 million) and sequestration of carbon (219 million).

St. Thomas Aquinas High School (Ohio)

St. Thomas Aquinas High School (STA) is a private, Catholic co-educational high school located in Louisville, Ohio, United States, run by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Youngstown. It was founded in 1964 to serve the Catholic families of eastern Stark County and parts of Portage County. When it opened, Aquinas enrolled both male and female students, but was a single-sex educational institution, as boys and girls attended classes within separate wings of the school. STA began practicing its current co-educational format in 1970.

Academics
In 2004, Aquinas adopted a new model of governance and administration for the school.

As of the 2009–2010 school year:

 * The president of the school is Thomas Dyer, who served as a teacher and administrator from 1972–1984
 * The principal is Joseph C. Vagedes, previously a long-time Chemistry teacher and administrator at the school.

As of the 2016-2017 school year:
 * Father Thomas Dyer retired and is serving as the president emeritus.
 * The principal is Frederick Schlueter, previously the assistant principal at Alliance High School.
 * The assistant principal is Laura Parise.

There is also a Board of Directors that oversee all operations of the school, including finances, enrollment, fundraising, mission, development, etc., and is made up of various individuals with Aquinas connections including alumni, parents of former Aquinas students, and parents of current Aquinas students.

A middle school for grades six to eight opened at the high school campus for the 2014-2015 school year.

Athletics
Included in STA's trophy case are five state boys cross country championships (including three in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and two in 2006 and 2007), numerous regional appearances for boys and girls basketball, a state team title in girls tennis, as well as many individual state qualifiers in girls tennis, and many state track and field qualifiers. Other sports, such as soccer (boys and girls), baseball, softball, and swimming have also seen regional and state qualifiers over the years. STA swimming produced many state qualifiers from the late 1980s through the 1990s. In 1990, the STA boys swim team finished 6th overall in the state, which is one of the highest finishes for a Stark County swim team since 1990. In 2007, the boys soccer won its second district title in a row and were regional runner-ups.

Between 1973 and 1989, the football team played in three state championship games (once in the old Class AA in 1974, and twice in Division IV in 1984 and 1985). In 1984, STA won the Ohio State Championship in football in Division IV with a 23-0 win over Columbus Bishop Hartley Hawks. Over a 2-year stretch, the 1984-1985 seasons, STA football compiled a total record of 25-1-1 with 2 state title game appearances and numerous all-Ohio selections. STA appeared in the state playoffs six times during the 1970s and 1980s.

Boys golf made three state appearances in 2011, 2012, and 2013. In 2013 they were also sectional and district winners

STA joined the North Coast League (NCL) beginning in the 2013-14 school year for all sports except football. The football program joined the NCL for the 2014-15 school year.

The St. Thomas Aquinas Knights were featured in the 2013 film Underdogs.

Talk:Organisation of the Government of Singapore

Departments?
The title of this page needs to be renamed. Ministries and Statutory boards of the Singapore government are not departments, the later of which are used to refer to specific bodies usually formed under the PMO etc. Examples include the Elections department and the Statistical department.--Huaiwei 14:40, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * The word department was used in the general sense, as a noun to mean a division of a government dealing with a specific area of activity. A third section could be added to include non-ministerial departments, such as the Elections Department (under the Prime Minister's Office) and Singapore Department of Statistics (under the Ministry of Trade and Industry). =Travisyoung= 14:52, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

When you actually do have departmental agencies under the Singapore government, you obviously cannot have a title like this, even if it was meant to have a general meaning.--Huaiwei 15:03, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Then what would you propose? =Travisyoung= 15:08, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Move it back to the Government of Singapore page unless the later has become too long.--Huaiwei 15:21, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Have you read my comments on the Government of Singapore talk page? I think this is a misunderstanding arising from the misconception of the word "government". In any case, the majority of the readers from outside of Singapore, where their ministry-equivalent are called "departments". This is merely a case of nomenclature. It is stated in very clear terms in the article the status of ministries vis-à-vis statutory boards and non-ministerial departments. =Travisyoung= 15:25, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You make it sound as thou only Singapore calls her top-tier governmental organisations "Ministries". Almost all Commonwealth and European countries, as well as most major Asian countries call them as such too, with the only major exception being the United States. There is simply no need to explain this, as thou Singapore is a tiny exception on the global arena. I would either change it to "Organisations", "Agency" or simply "structure" for a less controversial word to use.--Huaiwei 15:45, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Right of my head, I can recall (if I am not mistaken) that they call cabinet level portfolios "departments" in the UK and Australia. These are Commonwealth countries aren't they? Like I mentioned before, it is merely a case of nomenclature. In any case, government is an organisation. Using "structure" would entail a different article. =Travisyoung= 15:52, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oh sure they are Commonwalth countries. Did I say all Commonwealth countries? How may other Commonwealth countries uses the word department? Meanwhile, how do you explain the fact that 9 out of 10 countries in Southeast Asia call them ministries, the only exception being the Philippines (quite obviously due to its American heritage)? Or the fact that China, Japan and Korea also call them ministries? How about usage in Latin America? The government is an organisation? Of coz. Can an organisation have sub-organisations? Why not? Structure of the Singapore government has a different meaning? Such as? All in all, it is obvious the word ministry is hardly a exception, and hardly needs explaining beyond Singapore's shores. And most importantly, we do not change the way words are used in Singapore-related articles to conflicting terms just because one forumer thinks it is not well known across the wikipedia community. Are you going to change all of our "secondary school" articles to "High schools" instead, irrespective of how they are known here?--Huaiwei 16:15, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay looks like you need to cool down. I will reply when you are level headed enough. =Travisyoung= 16:17, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I am feeling quite cool, and I am awaiting an answer. If not, I am changing the title soon.--Huaiwei 18:35, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Please refer to my reply in Talk:Government of Singapore. Thanks! =Travisyoung= 02:24, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I apologize for causing this misunderstanding. When I modified the Template:Politics of Singapore, I was following the design of Template:PoliticsUK, and (without thinking) kept the wordings "Government Departments".

I don't have a strong understanding on the scope of the words "Government" and "department". The word "government" has been used rather inconsistently in Singapore, sometimes refering only to the cabinet (e.g. when refering to making political decisions). Other times, "government" is understood as including the Ministries or Civil Service (e.g. in implementing policies). May I suggest that the article of Government of Singapore to be modelled after the article Government of Australia, to give an overview of the structure and describe the major branches of government. As for the article Departments of the Singapore Government, the title "department" might be misleading to Singaporeans (like myself) who do not usually associate "Department" with "Ministry". An organization as small as 20 people may be considered as a department. For the lack of a better word, can we change the title to "Government agencies of Singapore"? For example in http://www.gov.sg/, it has the phrase "find websites of Government agencies ....". I don't have a strong opinion here, and "Organisations of the Singapore Government" also seems acceptable to me. -- Vsion 05:25, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi Vsion,
 * Thanks for your clarification. I have mentioned the reasons for re-directing the article Government of Singapore to Cabinet of Singapore, and the subsequent creation of the new article Departments of the Singapore Government countless of times. However, it seems to me that some recalcitrant contributors have refused to look at how each event has led to another, resulting in this misunderstanding. I would like to re-iterate my point: I strongly believe this is a result of a small misunderstanding. I hope the following "timeline" in bullet form will help those who have difficulty understanding this whole mess.

 * 1) From my edits in Politics of Singapore, I assumed that the definition of "government" was: "In British English, the word "Government" can also be used to refer only to the executive branch, in this context being a synonym for the word "administration" in American English (e.g. the Blair Government, the Bush Administration). In countries using the Westminster system the Government (or party in Government) will also usually control the legislature" (obtained from Wikipedia article Government).
 * 2) Natalinasmpf mentioned in Talk:Government of Singapore that the amount of information in Government of Singapore was small. I explained that there might be some misunderstanding.
 * 3) You did an excellent revamp of Template:Politics of Singapore, which I believed, at that point in time, was modelled on Template:PoliticsUK (this was later clarified to be true by you).
 * 4) In the template, "Government departments" was linked to Government of Singapore. From point 1 above, because I took the definition of "government" to be "cabinet" and "Government departments" was a sub-list under the item "Cabinet" in the template, I assumed that Vsion might have overlooked this link and meant for "Government departments" to link to an article somewhat similar to Departments of the United Kingdom Government.
 * 5) Hence, I created a new article Departments of the Singapore Government, and changed the link of "Government departments" in Template:Politics of Singapore to Departments of the Singapore Government.
 * 6) Consequently, because of point 1 above, I also re-directed Government of Singapore to Cabinet of Singapore.
 * I hope that this is clear enough that it was an honest mistake. I do not appreciate Huaiwei's accusing and condescending tones in all of his replies. One of the behaviour guidelines in Wikipedia is to assume good faith, which was not apparent in all of his replies to me on both Talk:Government of Singapore and Talk:Departments of the Singapore Government. Huaiwei still does not seem to understand that this was an honest mistake and his last reply below is accusatory and condescending in tone. Huaiwei and I had a somewhat similar miscommunication before, shown in User talk:Huaiwei. I don't know if it is because I am too difficult to understand, or if he is just being recalcitrant, but I hope that this matter is settled amicably. =Travisyoung= 08:29, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I jus did the renaming a few moments ago. To be honest, I dont like the word "organisation" as well, but it is still miles better than "departments". Just look what happens when I expand the list, and notice how we do have departments under various ministries. I tot of naming it "Ministries of XX", but this means we also need a seperate list for stat boards etc? Too tedious...--Huaiwei 05:43, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Richard Borcherds

Asperger?
Why no hint at Borcherds' psychiatric background (diagnosed as Asperger). Borcherds', to my knowledge, never was shy to discuss this in public contexts (which proves him to be also a great character in addition to his mathematical talents) and it may contribute to the psychological aspects of highly gifted persons. I made the first entry about Borcherds once (don't praise me!) and mentioned this fact but it couldn't survive long in WIKI.

 * I hope the man himself will take you up on your suggestion, if he is so inclined. GangofOne 23:43, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Note that the article says "he did not merit a formal diagnosis of Asperger syndrome" - this interests me since I did. Reading the paper "A Professor of Mathematics" shows that the reason for the lack of a formal diagnosis is, to quote "One might question whether Richard Borcherds really merits a diagnosis at all, given how well adapted he is. Certainly, he is not currently severe enough in his symptoms to warrant a diagnosis in adulthood, as his symptoms are not interfering with his daily functioning. In the jargon of the diagnostic criteria, he is not "suffering any impairment in his daily life." For example, he is not depressed (thankfully), unlike the majority of the patients we see in our clinic" In contrast to this, "....it reminds us how important the environment is, since if you took the same Richard Borcherds and put him in a less understanding environment, in all likelihood his AS would cause him some degree of distress."

 * For many years I was in this position, not meriting a diagnosis since to quote again, I was "....an example of an adult who in a sense has adapted his AS to an environment where it is no longer a major, or indeed any, obstacle at all". This would describe me up to the point in time where someone else decided it was a major obstacle. This is not to say he does not have AS, but that he does not merit a diagnosis. These are two different statements. It perhaps also begs the question as to whether an isolated individual may merit a diagnosis or whether it is external factors for example other people. Soarhead77 (talk) 12:27, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Legendary Mike Richard Borcherds
Today's change: "Richard Ewen Borcherds', brother to the legendary Mike Richard Borcherds, otherwise known as MRB by his closest friends, "  looks like noise to me. Tell us more about the legend. --GangofOne 21:07, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Nationality
Borcherds is said to be English and British, although he was born in South Africa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.158.48 (talk) 14:46, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

He is said to have left South Africa in 1960. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.158.48 (talk) 15:03, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I added a footnote with a reference to an article which says that he indeed has the British nationality. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 16:01, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

One cannot "realise" (or "realize") something that is a matter of opinion.
In the description of Borcherds as a child, this sentence appears:

"''He was a promising mathematician and chess player as a child, winning several national mathematics championships and 'was in line for becoming a chess master' before giving up after realising that the higher levels of competitive chess are merely about the competition rather than the fun of playing.""

But the idea that "the higher levels of competitive chess are merely about the competition rather than the fun of playing" -- no matter how many people may believe it -- is a matter of opinion, not fact. So I changed the word "realising" to "coming to believe", which seems to me to be a neutral way of describing what Borcherds was reported as believing. (My finger must have slipped while entering the reason for this change, so it probably looks cut off.)Daqu (talk) 00:22, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

The Kid Super Power Hour with Shazam!

The Kid Super Power Hour with Shazam! is an NBC Saturday-morning cartoon produced by Filmation Studios in 1981. The half-hour show included two cartoon stories, with a variety of live-action wraparound segments.

Hero High featured a group of students attending a high school for superheroes. This was a comedy originally planned to feature the characters from Archie Comics, but during development, production company Filmation terminated their relationship with the publishers, and the characters were turned into more generic versions of the same roles.

Shazam! was based on the DC Comics series of the same name, the adventures of Captain Marvel and his Marvel Family, including Mary Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr., Uncle Marvel, and their tiger, Tawky Tawny. In the show, the team fights enemies like Doctor Sivana, Mister Mind, Black Adam, Mister Atom, Ibac, and more.

From time to time, the characters of one show would appear in the other. Isis from The Secrets of Isis also made a guest appearance in animated form on Hero High.

Hero High

 * John Berwick - Rex Ruthless
 * Jere Fields - Misty Magic
 * Linda Gary - Miss Grimm
 * Jim Greenleaf - Weatherman
 * Christopher Hensel - Captain California
 * Maylo McCaslin - Dirty Trixie
 * Alan Oppenheimer - Mr. Sampson
 * Rebecca Perle - Glorious Gal
 * Erika Scheimer - Brat Man
 * Lou Scheimer - A.W.O.L.
 * Johnny Venocour - Punk Rock

Shazam!

 * Barry Gordon - Captain Marvel Jr./Freddy Freeman
 * Dawn Jeffory - Mary Marvel/Mary Batson, Freckles Marvel, Aunt Minerva
 * Burr Middleton - Captain Marvel/Billy Batson
 * Alan Oppenheimer - Uncle Marvel/Uncle Dudley, Doctor Sivana, Tawky Tawny, Shazam
 * Norm Prescott - Narrator (uncredited)
 * Lou Scheimer - Sterling Morris, Mister Mind, Black Adam, Ibac (uncredited)

Reception
In 1982, The Kid Super Power Hour with Shazam! was nominated for a Young Artist Award for "Best Children's Television Series", while Rebecca Perle won a YAA for "Best Young Actress in a Daytime Series". Two years later, she and Johnny "Punk Rock" Venocour would co-star in Savage Streets.

Provisional Polish Revolutionary Committee

The Provisional Polish Revolutionary Committee (Tymczasowy Komitet Rewolucyjny Polski, Polrewkom; Временный революционный комитет Польши, Польревком) (July–August 1920) was a revolutionary committee created under the patronage of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic with the goal to establish a soviet republic within Poland, or a Polish Soviet Socialist Republic constituent in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

History
Polrevkom was created on 23 July 1920, in Moscow by the Polish Bureau of Bolsheviks, with chairman Julian Marchlewski. The decision was made during the initial successes of the Red Army during the Polish-Soviet War with the goal of providing administration of the Polish territories. The committee was declared "provisional", because it was assumed that after a Soviet victory the power would be transferred to the Polish Communist Workers' Party.

The Polrevkom was assembled on 24 July in Smolensk, with its headquarters in an armored train, which quickly proceeded to Minsk (25 July), Wilno (27 July), and arrived to Białystok on 30 July 1920. It set up permanent headquarters in the Branicki Palace and issued public proclamations. For their efforts they received from Moscow over 2 billion rubles. It is seen, like many other Bolshevik revolutionary committees, as a Bolshevik puppet government.

The committee consisted of the following members:
 * Julian Baltazar Marchlewski (Chairman)
 * Feliks Dzierżyński (de facto leader)
 * Feliks Kon (Education)
 * Edward Próchniak (Secretary)
 * Józef Unszlicht (Party)
 * Bernard Zaks (Industry)
 * Stanisław Bobiński (Agriculture)
 * Tadeusz Radwański (Propaganda)

The Polrevkom activity was related to the North-Western Front of the Red Army. The South-Western front of the Red Army supported a similar Galician Revolutionary Committee (Galrevkom), seated in Tarnopol in Eastern Galicia.

The TKRP was met with relative enthusiasm in Białystok which had about 75% Jewish and working class majority. However, as the Red Army moved on towards Warsaw, it and Polrewkom had little support from the Polish population.

On 22 August 1920 the Polrevkom moved out of Białystok to Minsk with the defeat of the Red Army, and was dissolved soon afterwards. A significant number of the key persons involved were later instrumental in creation of the Polish Autonomous District within the Soviet Union.

Talk:Dry Tortugas

Untitled
Please note minor inaccuracies in above document this is from the official NPS website

Almost 70 miles (112.9 km) west of Key West lies a cluster of seven islands, composed of coral reefs and sand, called the Dry Tortugas. Along with the surrounding shoals and waters, they make up Dry Tortugas National Park. The area is known for its famous bird and marine life, and its legends of pirates and sunken gold. Fort Jefferson, one of the largest coastal forts ever built, is a central feature. The Tortugas were first discovered by Ponce de Leon in 1513. Abundant sea turtles or "tortugas" provisioned his ships with fresh meat, but there was no fresh water-the tortugas were dry. Since the days of Spanish exploration, the reefs and shoals of the Dry Tortugas have been a serious hazard to navigation and the site of hundreds of shipwrecks.

U.S. military attention was drawn to the keys in the early 1800's due to their strategic location in the Florida Straits. Plans were made for a massive fortress and construction began in 1846, but the fort was never completed. The invention of the rifled cannon made it obsolete. As the military value of Fort Jefferson waned, its pristine reefs, abundant sea life and impressive numbers of birds grew in value. In 1935, President Franklin Roosevelt set aside Fort Jefferson and the surrounding waters as a national monument. The area was redesignated as Dry Tortugas National Park in 1992 to protect both the historical and natural features. -From www.nps.gov/drto

Name details
The article states that the "Dry" part of the name was added soon after the original naming, however this doesn't seem right, due to the mix of english and spanish - if it was indeed soon after, it probably would now be "Tortugas Secas" (the spanish equivalent). Does anyone know when the islands changed from "Las Tortugas" to "Dry Tortugas"? And who was it that changed the name? --Ozhiker 23:06, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Hugo
In the section about Iowa Rock, it says a navigational light was destroyed there by Hurricane Hugo. This is impossible as the only Hurricane Hugo never even got to the Bahamas, much less the Dry Tortugas.

Merge proposal
Dry Tortugas and Dry Tortugas National Park contain so much duplication, covering the same things, that I propose they be merged. I think the National Park should be the one to stay. deisenbe (talk) 18:56, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Support There's substantial duplication and overlap, but also differences that may be on one article even as it's relevant to both, which does a disservice to the reader. I don't care which title stays, but they are not so long that it wouldn't be feasible. History of the park before it became a park, the geology, and geography are all still pertinent to the park and needn't be described separately, just as the park's ecology and park-era history are all pertinent to the islands since they're the exact same place. Reywas92Talk 21:53, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Oppose, as both pages are about a notable topic and neither is struggling for things to say. The real problem here isn't that there are two articles, but that Dry Tortugas National Park includes all kinds of information (such as the geology section, and everything in the history section) which doesn't really belong there and is only needed at Dry Tortugas. If there were to be a merger, the national park, which has only existed since 1935, is clearly subsidiary to the more permanent topic of the islands themselves, their history, geology, past and seasonal inhabitants, and so on, so the Dry Tortugas would need to be the continuing article. , perhaps you could move some text around to keep information in the right places?
