Plot
Eriko and her friends Yuma and Ayano are excited about entering their first year of high school at Yamasaki Academy. Their excitement leads to their breaking of the rules when they toured the school before the opening ceremony. They find out their preconceptions about the school may not be as true as they had first thought. Despite that, Eriko and her friends are joined by new friends. They aim to get through high school life together.

Main characters

 * Eriko Takahashi (高橋 絵里子)
 * The happy-go-lucky main character of the story, Eriko gets good grades but is nevertheless quite clumsy and not at all athletically coordinated (unless it is to escape the many perverts who often cross her path). She tends to be the main victim of the perverted actions (accidental or not) of Odagiri, though she occasionally uses this to blackmail him. Described a few times as "A nosy busybody", Eriko tends to go out of her way to find out people's problems. She's also quite fickle. Eriko is frightened of injections.

 * Yuma Suzuki (鈴木 由真)
 * Eriko's friend since middle-school. The two got off to a bad start, but found they had interests in common. Yuma has dyed blonde hair. Yuma has made a career of being the school's best cheater, although she still gets bad grades. She has a younger sister, Momoka. Yuma often pairs up with Eriko, such as in Episode 2 and Episode 7. She is the most short-tempered of the group. Her bunches are something of a trademark, as Odagiri didn't recognize her from behind when she wore it in a bun. She tends to lack in prudence, and ever willing to have fun.

 * Ayano Sato (佐藤 綾乃)
 * Yuma's life-long friend. They are very close. Ayano is the ingenue of the group. She wears glasses and her hair in plaits, implying an innocent personality, though she has a vivid imagination which often leads to perverted fantasies (as hinted in her eyecatch). By far the most dim-witted of the group, but out of all the main characters, she is the only one with a steady boyfriend (Takanori Shimotakatani). She often is victim to getting hit by the others for PDA's.

 * Akari Kouda (香田 あかり)
 * A very rich girl (as seen in her designer accessories from Gucci, Cartier and Prada), Akari is at first a rival to Eriko's group, but she quickly becomes friends with them after they brag about going to school with boys. An "insider" (a girl who transfers from the junior high branch of the private school rather than passing an entrance exam, like Eriko and friends did, to get in) who uses her knowledge of the school ways to show the others the ropes. Kouda aspires to become a famous actress, using all of her energy to be as outrageous as possible, so as to leave a lasting impression. She has the habit of dressing in completely bizarre outfits to gain attention, only to change into more normal clothes a split second later.

 * Kyoko Himeji (姫路 京子)
 * A friend of Akari's who is the first person that the girls know in their age group who loses her virginity. She is assumed part of Eriko's "Moron Group" much to her chagrin. Himeji is often flippant in her sex life, letting guys get the better of her, since she is easily tempted. She used to be overweight, but her crush on Odagiri gave her the incentive to lose weight. She is the most protective of Ogawa, and has the largest breasts, much to Kouda's chagrin.

 * Ikue Ogawa (小川 育恵)
 * A close friend of Kyoko's, which makes her a member of the group by default. She is the cute, petite girl of the group who acts as young as she looks. ikue usually comes up with the stupidest, almost Mr. Bean-ish solutions (giving Eriko a "mini sleeping pill" to help her relax because she had been up all night watching Doraemon videos) and games (spilling floor wax and using the cloth to slide on). She loves candy and is very fond of sleeping. She calls Kyoko 'Hime-chan' and appears fond of her. Ikue is the daughter of a drugstore's owner.

Prodigy (rapper)

Albert Johnson (November 2, 1974 – June 20, 2017), better known by his stage name Prodigy, was an American rapper and record producer.

With Havoc, he was one half of the hip hop duo Mobb Deep. Together, they recorded and released eight studio albums. Prodigy also released five solo studio albums.

Early life
Albert Johnson was born on November 2, 1974, in Hempstead, New York, on Long Island. He was raised in LeFrak City, Queens.

He had one brother, Greg Johnson. He came from a musical family. His grandfather Budd Johnson was a saxophonist who was inducted into the Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame in 1993. His grand-uncle, Keg Johnson, was a trombonist. Both of them are remembered for their contributions to the bebop era of jazz. His mother, Fatima Frances (Collins) Johnson, was a member of The Crystals. His father, Budd Johnson Jr., was a member of a doo-wop music group called The Chanters. His great-great-great-grandfather, William Jefferson White, founded Georgia's Morehouse College.

While attending the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan, he met his future music partner, Havoc. The duo became Poetical Prophets before choosing the name Mobb Deep. They received attention through The Source's Unsigned Hype column. Under the alias Lord-T (The Golden Child), the then-16-year-old Johnson landed an uncredited guest appearance on the Boyz n the Hood soundtrack, for his collaborative efforts on the song "Too Young" by Hi-Five in 1991. In 1993, Mobb Deep released their debut album, Juvenile Hell through 4th & B'way, Island and PolyGram Records.

1995-1999: Mobb Deep and later solo career
Initially known to been relevant through fellow Queens rapper Nas, who took a similar approach lyrically on his debut album, Illmatic (1994), Mobb Deep released The Infamous in April 1995, which was certified Gold by the RIAA within the first two months of its release. That same year, Prodigy began to raise his solo profile, by providing a guest appearance on LL Cool J's controversial "I Shot Ya" remix. The song became a minor part of the East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry, due to Tupac Shakur believing the song to be a diss referring to his robbery/shooting in Manhattan, New York at Quad Recording Studios – singling out the song's title (which many assumed was connected to Biggie's "Who Shot Ya?"), certain lyrics, and the timing of its release – the year after the shooting incident.

Although the track was stated by Keith Murray to not have any lyrical shots aimed at Tupac, Mobb Deep responded in the following year to Tupac's "Hit Em Up" with "Drop a Gem on 'Em," a promotional single from their 1996 album, Hell On Earth. Ironically, "I Shot Ya" does feature a subliminal aim in Prodigy's verse to Murray, which continued friction that started sometime prior with an interlude from Mobb Deep's 1995 The Infamous album. The rivalry continued until sometime in 2012, when the two ended it by taking a picture together.

A year and a half later, at the end of 1996, Prodigy and Havoc released Hell on Earth, which debuted at number six on SoundScan. Their next release, Murda Muzik, was heavily bootlegged while still in its demo stage, leaking, onto the streets and over the internet, rough versions of the nearly 30 songs the duo had recorded.

2000–2006: H.N.I.C.
In November 2000, Prodigy released his debut solo album, H.N.I.C. It included the single, "Keep It Thoro".

During the next six years, between the releases of his first two solo albums, Prodigy continued to work with Mobb Deep, releasing Infamy in 2001, Amerikaz Nightmare in 2004, and Blood Money in 2006.

2007–2011: Collaborations and H.N.I.C. Pt. 2
While awaiting trial for a gun possession charge, Prodigy had started work on his second solo album, H.N.I.C. Pt. 2, which was first previewed on his official mixtape, The Return of the Mac. The mixtape's single, together with a video, was called "Mac 10 Handle". Prodigy then released, H.N.I.C. Pt. 2, through Voxonic Records, a label in which, he was an equity holder. In late 2009, Mobb Deep was released from their contract with 50 Cent's G-Unit label. After spending three years in prison, Prodigy was officially released on March 7, 2011.

Prodigy was featured in the 2009 documentary, Rhyme and Punishment, which documented hip-hop artists who had been incarcerated.

In 2011, Prodigy released a free EP called The Ellsworth Bumpy Johnson EP, his first project after being released from prison.

On April 21, a song titled "The Type", with Currensy, was released on Currensy's free album, Covert Coup.

In 2011, Prodigy released his autobiography, My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep's Prodigy.

2013–2014: The Infamous Mobb Deep
In 2013, Prodigy released his second collaboration album with the Alchemist, titled Albert Einstein. On April 1, 2014, Mobb Deep released The Infamous Mobb Deep, their eighth studio album. In August 2016, he released an untitled EP of five tracks, in partnership with BitTorrent, an association that Prodigy had been working up for a while.

Books
In 2011, Prodigy released his autobiography, My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep's Prodigy. It was co-written with Laura Checkoway and published by Touchstone Books.

In 2013 Prodigy co-wrote the urban crime novel H.N.I.C. with British author Steven Savile. It was published by Akashic / Infamous Books. They also co-wrote a second novel,  Ritual, that was released in 2015 by Akashic.

Prodigy co-wrote a cookbook with Kathy Iandoli titled Commissary Kitchen: My Infamous Prison Cookbook. It features a foreword by chef and food personality Eddie Huang and was published in 2016 by Infamous Books.

Legal issues
The following is a brief timeline and chronology of some of the legal issues that Prodigy faced during his life:

 * November 6, 2003, Prodigy was arrested in Cohoes, New York, and charged with third degree criminal possession of a weapon and unlawful possession of cannabis. Police reportedly recovered a .25 caliber handgun and cannabis on his person.
 * October 26, 2006, Prodigy was arrested in New York City and charged with criminal possession of a weapon. He was pulled over in a $120,000 customized bulletproof SUV after making an illegal u-turn around 2:15 AM. After conducting a search of the vehicle, police recovered a .22 caliber handgun in the center console.
 * October 8, 2007, Prodigy was sentenced to serve $3 1/2$ years in prison for illegal possession of a firearm. Originally facing a mandatory sentence of 15 years in prison, Prodigy struck a deal with the prosecution, and pleaded guilty in exchange for the shorter prison sentence.
 * March 7, 2011, Prodigy was released from Mid-State Correctional Facility in Marcy, New York after serving three years for criminal possession of a weapon. His sentence was reduced by six months for good behavior and he remained on parole until 2014.

West Coast
From 1995 to 1997, the media-fueled "East Coast-West Coast hip hop rivalry" was occurring. This started when Tha Dogg Pound released "New York, New York," to which Mobb Deep took offense, as, in addition to the lyrics, the song's music video portrayed New York buildings being stomped on by Dogg Pound members. In response, Mobb Deep with Capone-N-Noreaga and Tragedy Khadafi released "LA, LA". 2Pac dissed Mobb Deep (along with The Notorious B.I.G.) in "Hit 'Em Up" where, in the outro of the song, he made a remark in clear reference to Prodigy's ailment in having sickle cell anemia. Mobb Deep responded in a track called "Drop A Gem On 'Em" which was released as a single 2 weeks before 2Pac was murdered. 2Pac also dissed Mobb Deep on the song "Against All Odds" and "Bomb First (My Second Reply)" which were released after his death. But Prodigy later sampled 2Pac's voice from a freestyle for the chorus on the song "Return of the Mac" (a.k.a. "New York Shit") on his album with the same name.

Def Squad
On The Infamous track "The Infamous Prelude", Prodigy made remarks about rappers who rap about "smoking weed" and talk about "space shit". Def Squad took offense from this, but the feud was settled when Prodigy and Keith Murray met at a video shoot. The feud was rekindled when Prodigy again referenced "space shit" in his appearance on LL Cool J's "I Shot Ya" which also featured Murray. Murray saw Prodigy at a club one night and punched him. Prodigy recalled the altercation and threatened Murray in the song "In the Long Run" on Hell on Earth. Murray released a song "Call My Name" on his Enigma album dissing Mobb Deep. The feud seemed to die down until Prodigy dissed Murray again in his 2004 song "Bad Blood." Murray has responded with numerous songs since. The feud has since died down, with the two sharing a photograph together with Busta Rhymes on social media. On Twitter, The reconciliation was confirmed by Prodigy in response to the photo not long after.

Jay-Z
Prodigy's issues with Jay-Z began when he took offense to a lyric on the 1998 single, "Money, Cash, Hoes", which Jay rapped, "It's like New York's been soft ever since Snoop came through and crush the building", alluding to a scene where Snoop Dogg kicked down several landmarks and skyscrapers around New York City on the music video for the East Coast diss track, "New York, New York", which Mobb Deep responded to with "LA, LA".

During Hot 97's annual Summer Jam festival in June 2001, Jay reignited the feud by performing an unfinished acapella version of "Takeover", and while appearing on stage with Michael Jackson, displayed photos of Prodigy during his childhood years taking lessons at a dance studio (including one with him wearing the notable "Thriller" leather jacket, also worn by Jackson in the song's music video). He references this, rapping, "When I was pushin' weight, back in '88, you was a ballerina, I got them pictures, I seen ya. Then, you dropped "Shook Ones", switched your demeanor. Well, we don't believe you. You need more people."

With the release of Mobb Deep's Infamy on December 11, 2001, three months after The Blueprint, the tracks, "Crawlin'" and "The Learning (Burn)", contained disses toward Jay-Z in response. Especially from Prodigy, rapping "You let me get my hands on you so I'm takin' advantage, and that shit that you pulled ain't do me no damage. You don't know me, nigga, but we 'bout to change that shit. Wrap that nigga up like a package".

The feud continued on with more disses from both parties: Jay-Z on "Hovi Baby" and Mobb Deep's Amerikaz Nightmare and various mixtape freestyles. It had since died down soon after.

From prison in 2007, not long before the release of H.N.I.C. Part 2, Prodigy wrote and published an open letter to Jay-Z in which he made some cryptic allegations alluding to the Illuminati theory.

In mid-2011, Prodigy discussed his issues with Jay in an interview with HipHopDX, claiming that he wanted to "fight" him during a weekend he planned at Sean "Diddy" Combs' now-closed restaurant, Justin's. "Sometime after that little statement I made about him, Jay-Z put out the song called ‘The Takeover’ and he did the Summer Jam,” Prodigy explained. “Had my picture up when I was a little kid at my grandmother’s dance school. I thought I was Michael Jackson. Aight, so cool. That was funny to me. I didn’t even take offense to that. That was just funny to me. My whole problem was a whole ‘nother thing", he stated.

Then, in 2012, while appearing on the Breakfast Club with Charlamagne tha God and DJ Envy, Prodigy finally confirmed the photos of his dance classes were taken by his grandmother at Carnegie Hall in Manhattan. "That came from my grandmother’s program. Every year, she did a concert at Carnegie Hall in Lincoln Center and she would do this program booklet for the families and kids that were in the school," he said. "Of course, she had her grandson in there and I thought I was Michael Jackson back in the day, so I had my Mike getup on and all of that. That’s where that picture came from."

After Prodigy's death in 2017, Jay-Z revealed that the two ended their feud in 2012. In an interview with former XXL editor-in-chief Elliott Wilson, he offered condolences to the rapper: "It’s just sad. Blessings to his family. It’s sad. Young, young man."

Saigon
During an interview, Prodigy stated that he did not like Saigon and Tru-Life (along with many other rappers).

On the night of September 19, 2007, after an impromptu performance by Saigon during a Mobb Deep show, words were exchanged between Saigon and Prodigy. This escalated into an argument, which resulted in a physical altercation when Saigon punched Prodigy twice before leaving the club. Two video versions of the events have since emerged. One version, in slow motion footage, showed Saigon hiding under a table. Another released version of the video, showed Saigon running away from the club. The feud, however, apparently died down, since (in an interview two months before Prodigy's release from prison) Saigon expressed happiness that Prodigy was coming home.

Crooked I
While in prison, Prodigy wrote a letter about his disillusionment with hip hop and rappers. He directly referenced Crooked I's name in the letter, commenting,

"Vibe says 920,000 people voted for it. I would personally b*tch slap all 920,000 of these voters if given the opportunity. Who in the f*ck picked Crooked I, Flo Rida and Rich Boy? How did Vibe approve this?"

Crooked I responded in a blog entry, and challenged Prodigy to a one-on-one fight upon the rapper's release. Following Prodigy's death, Crooked I paid tribute in honor of him by posting an image of him on Instagram.

Havoc
In July 2012, Prodigy's musical partner, Havoc, wrote a series of derogatory comments about Prodigy on Twitter, including accusing Prodigy of engaging in homosexual relationships in prison. At first, Havoc claimed that his Twitter account was hacked. However, he later confirmed that he wrote the tweets and expressed his frustrations with Prodigy in an interview with AllHipHop. He stated that Mobb Deep was on an "indefinite hiatus" until the duo worked out their differences. Havoc later released a diss track aimed at Prodigy, which was titled "Separated (Real from the Fake)". Prodigy did not respond to Havoc's song and even stated publicly that Mobb Deep would eventually reconcile. In March 2013, the duo announced that they had reconciled and were going on tour.

Illuminati theory
Some hip hop music has been inspired by the theory that a powerful international secret society exists. Often it is referred to as the Illuminati, after the Bavarian secret society founded in 1776. Complex magazine has claimed it was Prodigy who started the interest in the theory. Prodigy had often spoken publicly against the alleged international secret society during his life.

Prodigy rhymed about a secret society in his collaboration with LL Cool J in the song "I Shot Ya (Remix)", from the 1995 album Mr. Smith. In 2008, Prodigy titled a song "Illuminati", from H.N.I.C. Part 2. In his final solo album released during his life, The Hegelian Dialectic (2017), Prodigy also referred to the theory. It was reported that Prodigy was working on a musical about his Illuminati theory at the time of his death.

Illness and death
In an interview with Vibe in November 2000, Johnson spoke about what inspired him to directly address his battle with sickle cell disease in his song "You Can Never Feel My Pain", from his debut studio album H.N.I.C. He attributed his nihilism to the "permanent physical suffering" caused by his lifelong battle with the condition.

On June 18, 2017, Johnson was hospitalized at the Spring Valley Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada due to complications related to sickle cell anemia. He had been performing with Havoc, Ghostface Killah, Onyx, KRS-One, and Ice-T on the Art of Rap Tour in Las Vegas, and had fallen ill during a meet-and-greet with fans due to hot weather aggravating his condition. Johnson died at age 42 two days later, and was found unresponsive by hospital staff. The cause of death was initially believed to have been related to his sickle cell disease, but it was later confirmed as accidental choking. A lawsuit filed on behalf of Johnson's family by the Gage Law Firm alleged that Spring Valley Medical Center breached their duty of care for Johnson by "failing to maintain a working IV access", and "failing to continuously monitor oxygen levels" as ordered by physicians in the hospital, and that those failures led to Johnson's death.

Talk:Devil's Sea

I did not change the article, but maybe one of you may add that the Dragon Triangle is antipodal to the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly. That alone should endow the region with some unusual properties. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.92.136 (talk) 17:18, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

agonic lines
i removed this Contrary to several claims, neither the Devil's Sea nor the Bermuda Triangle is located on the agonic line, where the magnetic north equals the geographic north. The magnetic declination in this area is about 6°.

the agonic lines move, and both the 0 points are inside and around both areas. removed for pseudoskepticism —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.175.1.253 (talk) 09:27, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

What is the significance of this? 132.64.64.225 (talk) 19:43, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

This statement needs revision, elaboration and reference support. The magnetic variation (or magnetic declination) changes over time. A location where the variation is 6 degrees West would have likely been an agonic line within the past century or vice versa, a location where the variation is 6 degrees East will likely be an agonic line within the next century. Also local changes in variation occur due to magnetic deposits such as iron or magnetite. Let it also be noted that it is insufficient to say 6 degrees without giving a direction to the variation because geographically these lines can be well over a thousand kilometers apart and from a navigational standpoint, not giving the direction of variation can double the compass error. An official, up to date navigational or survey chart of the locations would be needed to verify the truth of this statement.

Japanese Government Ref
I removed the following text:

 * It has also been known for strange occurrences and has been officially recognized as a danger zone by the government of Japan.

Before saying something has been 'officially recognized' it needs an official reference. --Maustrauser 01:58, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Italic texthmmmm what can i say that simply —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.55.102.71 (talk • contribs).

No Japanese People Know It
We Japanese paranormal researchers wondered what is it? for decades.

The History Channel clues visited Japanese skeptics such as Mr. Ryutaro Minakami. So, they know the truth!

You can find it in Kusche's book.Kadzuwo (talk) 13:45, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

This article should make clear that the whole thing is nonsense
Quoting http://www.unmuseum.org/soearch/over0104.htm:
 * Inventing the "Devil's Sea" - On January 15th, 1955 a report in the New York Times about a maritime disaster referred to a location off the southeastern coast of Japan as the "Devil's Sea." With this another legend, almost as well-known as the "Bermuda Triangle," was born. This section of the ocean reportedly has been responsible for the loss of many ships under mysterious circumstances. Research suggests, however, that the existence of anything mysterious about the Devil's Sea is more hype than fact. Reports that the ships mysteriously disappeared without sending a radio message is not that strange considering that most of the ships were owned by poor fisherman who could not afford radios.

Quoting http://surbrook.devermore.net/pdepartment/pdparanormal.html:
 * The Devil's Sea - Located in the Sea of Japan, the Devil's Sea is a presumed area of ocean where numerous ships and aircraft have vanished. In reality, there is no such area, and most of the mythology has been built up around a few New York Times articles from 1952 and 1955, and an article in the January 14, 1955 Yomiuri Shimbun. About the only trace of truth to the entire story is that the Japanese Maritime Safety Agency has issued a warning for ships to avoid the Myojin Reefs, located some 300 miles to the south of Tokyo and home to several submerged, but active, volcanos.

These are just two of the first few links from this Google search. The "importance" of the so-called "Devil's Sea" seems to be primarily in the minds of devotées of the "Atlantis" theory regarding the Bermuda Triangle. Tom e rTALK 04:07, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

I've added some bits to take the mystery out and some facts in. Having looked it up it appears that there really is an exclusion zone, but this is due to volcanic activity. Totnesmartin 20:19, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

hi
i dont get it ?????? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.54.204.19 (talk • contribs).

 * Nor do I mate. Some people will believe anything. Totnesmartin 20:21, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

bermuda and devil are "pararel" through the center of the earth
i am sure of it as i saw a discovery chanell... its hard to explain as i am not native english speaker they are opesed through the center of the earthhh

like this: A--B

 * First things first - please do not remove comments from the talk page.

about your argument: North America and Japan are both in the Northern Hemisphere, so a line from one to the other would not go through the centre of the earth. In fact the opposite point of the Bermuda triangle would be off Western Australia. The opposite point of the Devil's sea would be off southern Brazil. I hope my reply helps you understand this common mistake. Totnesmartin 17:35, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Berlitz school of language
The section Charles Berlitz's claims says: curious to know why they were losing all their stuff, etc. Are these Berlitz's exact words? He was a language teacher, and the use of stuff in this way is relatively recent. Can anyone with his book put me right on this? Totnesmartin 12:40, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Having found a copy in a second-hand shop and looked up the offending paragraph, it appears (heh) that it was a misquote as I suspected. I've changed the paragraph so that it states his claims rather than "quoting" his text. Totnesmartin 19:04, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * There was a particularly shoddy special on the History Channel about this area and it claimed, via Berlitz' research and among other "UFO experts", that the Dragon's Triangle was responsible for the disappearances of 1500 ships over the past 50 years with a magnetic "difference" of 30', both of which I have a hard time believing was actually stated in his book, much less true. -208.120.207.125 (talk) 04:27, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

POV
Just removed some POV bits. Someone wrote that ships and planes disappear "particularly often" in the Bermuda Triangle - in fact the rate is no higher than anywhere else. Someone also put a fact tag on the tale of the Urashima Taro legend - but this info is from that page! Totnesmartin 16:03, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Formosa Triangle
Every sources of the Formosa Triangle which I could find came from this Wikipedia article or the Dawud's claim. If the claim is not acceptable, the Formosa Triangle should be removed from this article. Onhigan (talk) 15:58, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
 * In April 2006, the word first appeared on this Wikipedia article by somebody in Indonesia.
 * In August 2006, new article "Formosa Triangle" has been created with references to Indonesian books written by Dawud, Muhammad Isa. The article was deleted in 2009.

 * In August 2013, the Dawud's claim has been translated to English.

Agüimes

Agüimes is a Spanish town and municipality in the eastern part of the island of Gran Canaria in the Las Palmas province in the Canary Islands.

Presentation
Agüimes is situated 5 km from the coast, and 26 km south of the island capital Las Palmas. The GC-1 motorway passes east of the town.

The population is 30,214 (2013), and the area is 79.28 km². The elevation is 275 m.

Economy
The major growth of the last few years has been the creation of a huge industrial estate on flat land once covered by tomato plantations. This has brought new jobs and industries into the area and has spurred the development of a new purpose-built port which is due to open in 2007.

Tourism
The district was not at one time a major tourist destination, but after the careful restoration of the old town, this has become the best example of a traditional Canarian hill town. The streets of the old town exude a gentle, relaxed, timeless atmosphere, and the carefully positioned street statues and sculptures add a series of surprises to a visit to the old town. The local plan for 'rural tourism' has led to the development of other small visitor centres on the district, the biggest of which is in the Guayadeque ravine. This area has many cave houses dating back hundreds of years, and a complete village excavated into the hillside, still occupied today, with its own cave chapel, cave bar and cave restaurants.

The Temisas Astronomical Observatory, on Montaña de Arriba near Temisas, is a popular visitor attraction, offering regular events related to astronomy.

Sports
Sporting activities are also very important in the area, with its windsurfing and scuba diving recognized as "world-class". The windsurfing world cup at Pozo Izquierdo is an important event on the PWA World Tour. The whole of the coast in this area can provide challenging windsurfing conditions at any time of the year.

The main area for scuba diving in Gran Canaria is in the area known as the 'El Cabrón' marine reserve, next to the town of Arinaga. The diving in this area includes caves, arches, walls and volcanic reefs where an extremely wide range of sub-tropical marine species can be found, from tiny seahorses up to rays and angel sharks.

Heritage sites
In the centre of the town, the large, domed in Plaza Nuestra Señora del Rosario is a noted example of Canarian Neoclassical architecture. Construction of the church started in 1796 and it was only completed in 1940.

23 km south-west of Agüimes on the south coast of the island there stands a full-scale replica of the San Sebastián Church. It was erected in 2014 by the hotelier, who originated from Agüimes, as part of a luxury hotel complex, the Lopesan Costa Meloneras Hotel in Maspalomas. The hotel consists of buildings designed in a Canarian Spanish Colonial Revival style to recreate the historic environment of Agüimes, including a copy of the church.

The Agüimes municipality's territory is rich in historical sites, among which the El Maipés necropolis in Agaete is a well-known site. The caves and granaries of the Audience site in Temisas and the caves and hillocks in Avila have been declared Sites of cultural interest in 2016.

Vijay Merchant

Vijay Singh Madhavji Merchant, (born Vijay Madhavji Thackersey; 12 October 1911 – 27 October 1987) was an Indian cricketer. A right-hand batsman and occasional right-arm medium pace bowler, Merchant played first-class cricket for Bombay cricket team as well as 10 Test matches for India between 1929 and 1951. Behind his limited Test appearances, he dominated Indian domestic cricket – his batting average of 71.64 is the second highest first-class average in history, behind only that of Don Bradman. He is regarded as the founder of the Bombay School of Batsmanship, that placed more importance on right technique, steely temperament, and conservative approach rather than free flow of the bat.

His international career included two tours of England upon which he scored over 800 runs. English cricketer C. B. Fry exclaimed "Let us paint him white and take him with us to Australia as an opener." His brother, Uday, also played first-class cricket.

Besides cricket, he was also associated with the Hindoostan Spinning & Weaving Mills (Thackersey Group) and was the Sheriff of Bombay in 1970.

Domestic Cricket
Merchant was born in Bombay, into a wealthy Gujarati family in 1911. He was an "outstanding college cricketer" who captained Sydenham College, while studying there; his success for Sydenham led to selection for Hindus cricket team during the 1929 Bombay Quadrangular. He also continued to play for Sydenham and in 1931 he set the record in Bombay inter-collegiate cricket by scoring 504 runs and taking 29 wickets. His continued success in domestic cricket resulted in the call to the India national team to play against the visiting English team at Bombay Gymkhana, which was also the first Test to be played on Indian soil. Throughout his career, Merchant was involved in a rivalry with the other great Indian batsman of the era, Vijay Hazare. In the Bombay Pentangular match against the Rest, he bested Hazare's record of 242, set just in the previous match against the Muslims, with 250 not out. Hazare responded with a 309 out of a team total of 387 in the next innings, in what is generally held the greatest innings ever played in India before 1947. Merchant topped it by scoring 359 against Maharashtra in Ranji trophy.

International career
Merchant's Test career spanned 18 years but during that time he played only ten Test matches, and was unfortunate that some of the best years of his career were lost to the Second World War, when no international cricket was played. He also missed tours to Australia and the West Indies due to poor health. However, Merchant went out to score 154 in his last Test match against England in Delhi, which was also his highest Test score. A shoulder injury incurred while fielding in that game forced him to retire. All ten matches of Merchant's Test career were against England.

Merchant had a particularly successful England tour of 1946. Despite facing difficulty against swing bowling when the ball moved away after pitching on the leg stump, he scored 2,385 runs including seven centuries in the 41 innings he batted, at an average of 74.53. In his column, former cricketer Learie Constantine wrote, "... this (Merchant) world-beater so adapted himself to the circumstances that he produced cricket of the highest class, never refusing the challenge to score when the dice was not too heavily loaded against the side."

Merchant went on to become a cricket administrator, broadcaster, writer and national selector, and charitable advocate of the handicapped.

Cricket with Vijay Merchant
"Cricket with Vijay Merchant" was a radio programme hosted by Merchant. It was broadcast on Sunday afternoons, on Vividh Bharati, Anu D. Aggarwal quotes a survey, which revealed that it was one of the most listened to sponsored programmes.

Legacy
Although Merchant played only ten Test matches, he is widely considered to be one of the greatest batmen of his era. He was an attractive stroke maker, who "developed fine footwork, and built a stroke repertoire featuring a lovely cut, grasscutting drives, a delicate glance and late-cut, and, until later in his career, a brilliant hook stroke." His batting average in first-class cricket was 71.64, putting him second only to Don Bradman of Australia. In India's domestic Ranji Trophy matches, Merchant fared even better, averaging 98.75 in 47 innings. His record is especially impressive as his runs came at a time of uncovered wickets. He was one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1937. Merchant is also the oldest Indian player to score a Test century. He scored 154 when he was 40 years 21 days during England's 1951–52 tour of India.

During his career, Merchant scored eleven double-centuries in first-class cricket, the most by an Indian batsman. The record stood until November 2017, when Cheteshwar Pujara scored his twelfth double-century batting for Saurashtra against Jharkhand in the 2017–18 Ranji Trophy.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India named its under-16 domestic cricket tournament Vijay Merchant Trophy in his honour.

Havoc (musician)

Kejuan Waliek Muchita (born May 21, 1974), better known by his stage name Havoc, is an American rapper and record producer. He was one half of the hip hop duo Mobb Deep with Prodigy.

Biography
Havoc was born in Brooklyn and raised in the Queensbridge Houses. At a later age, Havoc found out his paternal grandfather was jazz musician Bill Dixon. In his teenage years, he shot a Def Jam employee in the belly by accident. He graduated from the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan, New York in 1992, where he met Prodigy. He is one half of the iconic hip hop duo Mobb Deep, and in addition to producing nearly the entire Mobb Deep catalogue, has also produced songs for MCs such as The Notorious B.I.G., Eminem, Nas, Raekwon, 50 Cent, 112, Method Man, Mariah Carey, Puff Daddy, LL Cool J, Rohff, Big Noyd, Lil Kim, Capone-N-Noreaga, Foxy Brown, Onyx, and his partner Prodigy on his solo work. In 2005, Mobb Deep recorded for fellow Queens rapper 50 Cent's record label G-Unit Records and left the label in 2009, in a mutually agreed-to release.

Havoc is renowned as one of the most iconic figures in New York hip hop. Popular music magazine Complex ranked Havoc among the top hip hop producers of 1995 after The Infamous. Beattips.com ranked him as the 24th most influential beatmaker of all time citing his dual abilities of rapping and producing. Following The Infamous, he tweaked his skills and transitioned to a more atmospheric production style that incorporated samples from classical music, most notably visible on the 1996 album Hell on Earth. As a rapper, he is known for his hardcore lyricism and consistent flow. He also contributed background vocals and a verse on Black Moon's debut album Enta da Stage in 1993.

In July 2009, Havoc was featured alongside in J Dilla's music video for "24K Rap" off of the Jay Stay Paid album, the video was directed by Derek Pike. In 2010, Havoc produced a beat for Eminem that resulted in a song called "Untitled" which is a hidden track on Eminem's album Recovery and contributed to the iTunes bonus track to Raekwon's album Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang & Bad Meets Evil's Hell: The Sequel EP. He revealed that he plans to record a new Mobb Deep album with Nas. His third studio album 13 was released on May 7, 2013.

Havoc worked with Kavinsky on his 2013 album OutRun. He wrote the lyrics and sang the vocals for "Suburbia", the sixth track on the album. In 2016, Havoc helped produce "Real Friends" and "Famous", two tracks on Kanye West's album The Life of Pablo.

His original productions have been featured in numerous commercially successful films, well known television series and popular video games, and he is a character in Def Jam: Fight For NY. Havoc produced the New York Yankees official 2020 anthem, "Squad Up", that features verses from both Havoc and Method Man.

Prodigy
In July 2012, Havoc wrote a series of derogatory comments about Prodigy on Twitter, after Prodigy denied engaging in homosexual relationships in prison. At first, Havoc claimed that his Twitter account was hacked. However, he later confirmed that he wrote the tweets and expressed his frustrations with Prodigy in an interview with AllHipHop. He stated that Mobb Deep was on an "indefinite hiatus" until the duo worked out their differences. Havoc later released a diss track aimed at Prodigy, which was titled "Separated (Real from the Fake)". Prodigy did not respond to Havoc's song and even stated publicly that Mobb Deep would eventually reconcile. In March 2013, the duo announced that they had reconciled and were going on tour.

Conway's Soldiers

Conway's Soldiers or the checker-jumping problem is a one-person mathematical game or puzzle devised and analyzed by mathematician John Horton Conway in 1961. A variant of peg solitaire, it takes place on an infinite checkerboard. The board is divided by a horizontal line that extends indefinitely. Above the line are empty cells and below the line are an arbitrary number of game pieces, or "soldiers". As in peg solitaire, a move consists of one soldier jumping over an adjacent soldier into an empty cell, vertically or horizontally (but not diagonally), and removing the soldier which was jumped over. The goal of the puzzle is to place a soldier as far above the horizontal line as possible.

Conway proved that, regardless of the strategy used, there is no finite sequence of moves that will allow a soldier to advance more than four rows above the horizontal line. His argument uses a carefully chosen weighting of cells (involving the golden ratio), and he proved that the total weight can only decrease or remain constant. This argument has been reproduced in a number of popular math books.

Simon Tatham and Gareth Taylor have shown that the fifth row can be reached via an infinite series of moves. If diagonal jumps are allowed, the 8th row can be reached, but not the 9th row. In the n-dimensional version of the game, the highest row that can be reached is $$3n-2$$; Conway's weighting argument demonstrates that row $$3n-1$$ cannot be reached.

Notation and definitions
Define $$\varphi = \frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{2} \approx 0.61803\,39887\ldots$$. (In other words, $$\varphi$$ here denotes the reciprocal of the golden ratio.) Observe that $$\varphi^2 = 1 - \varphi$$.

Let the target square be labeled with the value $$\varphi^0 = 1$$, and all other squares be labeled with the value $$\varphi^n$$, where $$n$$ is the Manhattan distance to the target square. Then we can compute the "score" of a configuration of soldiers by summing the values of the soldiers' squares. For example, a configuration of only two soldiers placed so as to reach the target square on the next jump would have score $$\varphi^1 + \varphi^2$$.

When a soldier jumps over another soldier, there are three cases to consider:

 * 1) When a soldier jumps towards the target square: Let the value of the soldier's square be $$\varphi^n$$ for some $$n$$, and the value of the square he jumps over be $$\varphi^{n-1}$$; then the total change in score after the jump is $$\varphi^{n-2} - \varphi^{n-1} - \varphi^n = \varphi^{n-2}(1 - \varphi - \varphi^2) = 0$$.
 * 2) When a soldier remains the same distance from the target square after his jump: In this case the change in score is $$\varphi^n - \varphi^{n-1} - \varphi^n = -\varphi^{n-1}$$.
 * 3) When a soldier jumps away from the target square: Here the change in score is $$\varphi^{n+2} - \varphi^{n+1} - \varphi^n = \varphi^n(\varphi^2 - \varphi - 1) = -2\varphi^{n+1}$$.

So, no jump will ever increase the configuration's total score.

Computing the score of the initial configuration
Consider now a starting configuration where only one infinite horizontal line is completely filled with soldiers.

If this horizontal line of soldiers is immediately below the target square, then the score of the configuration is $$\varphi + 2\varphi^2 + 2\varphi^3 + \ldots$$. The score of a line two spaces below the target square is $$\varphi^2 + 2\varphi^3 + 2\varphi^4 + \ldots = \varphi(\varphi + 2\varphi^2 + 2\varphi^3 + \ldots)$$. The score of a line three spaces below is $$\varphi^2(\varphi + 2\varphi^2 + 2\varphi^3 + \ldots)$$, and so on.

Consider the full starting configuration, where soldiers fill the whole half-plane below the red line. This configuration's score is the sum of the scores of the individual lines. Therefore, if the target square is immediately above the red line, the score is

 * $$S_1 = (\varphi + 2(\varphi^2 + \varphi^3 + \varphi^4 \ldots))(1 + \varphi + \varphi^2 + \varphi^3 + \ldots)$$.

At this point, observe another interesting property of $$\varphi$$, namely that $$\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\varphi^n = 1$$. Applying this identity produces

 * $$S_1 = (\varphi + 2)(1 + \varphi + 1) = (\varphi + 2)^2 = 5 + 3\varphi \approx 6.85410\ldots$$.

If the target square is in the second row above the red line, every soldier is one space further from the target square, and so the score is

 * $$S_2 = \varphi S_1 = 3 + 2\varphi$$.

Similarly:

 * $$S_3 = \varphi S_2 = 2 + \varphi$$,

 * $$S_4 = \varphi S_3 = 1 + \varphi$$,

 * $$S_5 = \varphi S_4 = 1$$.

When a soldier reaches the target square after some finite number of moves, the ending configuration has score $$E = \varphi^0 + \epsilon$$, where $$\varphi^0$$ represents the contribution of the soldier on the target square and $$\epsilon$$ represents the (small, but positive) contributions of the infinite number of soldiers that remain elsewhere on the plane.

Thus, we have shown that when the target square is in the fifth row above the infinite half-plane of soldiers, the starting configuration's score is exactly $$S_5 = 1$$; the ending configuration's score is $$E = 1+\epsilon$$; and since no kind of jump ever increases the score, we must have $$S_5\ge E$$. This is a contradiction; Q.E.D., it is impossible for any soldier to reach a square in the fifth row after a finite number of jumps.

Talk:Morcheeba

Removed speculation
Removed speculation from article, at the very least, this needs a source. Lexor|Talk 13:20, 24 April 2006 (UTC):

Question
question about a part of the article: " Five albums later (2003), Edwards left the band." Is there a source saying she is the one that left? According to her website, she claims it was the brothers that wanted to split-up the band and work on their own projects.--Tresser 13:29, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

That is now confirmed and referenced. Karst (talk) 10:55, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Missing biographical information
Valid biographical information was removed from this article, seemingly as a result of removing speculation about their new album. It should probably be re-instated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.65.100 (talk) 05:56, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Separate Discography Page
Would it be okay to make a separate discography page for Morcheeba? To cut down on space, and make it less confusing to read, by giving charts etc.Hayden White--Hayden White (talk) 18:45, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Excellent idea, please proceed. The album descriptions have been tagged for clean-up. Karst (talk) 10:56, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Extensive revision
Added chart details, mention of the first EP, details on the Godfrey brothers, contribution to David Byrne album and some referencing. Karst (talk) 10:54, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Added four sub-headings to the biography section of clearly defined periods in the band's history with a view to expand on them.Karst (talk) 09:26, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Daisy Martey dismissal
The Daisy Martey dismissal led to the a court-case and dismissal. It probably needs to be expanded on here as it is relevant for the album she produced with the Godfrey brothers as Morcheeba. It is mentioned on her page but not elaborated on here, which seems odd. Karst (talk) 09:35, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Specifically, she sued Paul for assault. Google has nothing on the fallout from this. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 12:18, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
 * When editing the page two years ago I decided to leave that out intentionally when I could not find the sources related to the case. It became a BLP issue and without reliable third-party reports as the link on the Daisey Martey page goes to a dead link from a tabloid newspaper. I suspect it was settled out of court. Karst (talk) 12:25, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Split
From social media it is apparent that Sky and Ross have severed links with Paul. The website is currently offline, which presumable has something to do with the legal issues that are currently being dealt with. As this progresses, it needs reliable third party sources. Until such time, perhaps leave things as it is until a statement of some sort is released. Karst (talk) 15:35, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

 * It appears that Paul now has a Facebook page, Morcheeba Music, which makes me wonder who now owns the Morcheeba name. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 12:13, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

 * For what it's worth, Skye and Ross are currently (august 2017) touring and are billed as "Morcheeba Skye and Ross" or just "Morcheeba". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocknrollsuicide (talk • contribs) 19:17, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

 * As both Ross and Paul have rights to the name, they can do that. As the interview quote I used in the Departure section showed, Ross has no intention of recording under the name. Also, Paul's Facebook page about his studio still features the Morcheeba name. Until all that has been legally settled, we need to be careful how we use it here IMHO. I looked for interviews with Ross or Paul from 2017, but there appears to be radio silence. Karst (talk) 16:44, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Unreliable sources
The discogs.com website is used a reference multiple times. It is not a reliable source because it contains user contributed content. See WP:ALBUMAVOID. Gab4gab (talk) 02:18, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Morcheeba
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Morcheeba's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Slawi

Slawi is the administrative centre of the Tegal Regency of the province of Central Java, Indonesia. Slawi is known for the production of a particularly fragrant black tea and the tea-drinking culture known as Moci.

Geography
Unusual for a tea-producing area, Slawi has a warm climate with a gentle sloping geography.

Slawi is located about 20 km south of Tegal on the central north coast of Java in Central Java province. It is bordered bythe Adiwerna (Banjaran) district to the north, the Pangkah district to the east, the Balapulang district to the south, and the Jatibarang district (located in the administrative area of Brebes Regency) to the west.

Climate
Slawi has a tropical monsoon climate (Am) with moderate rainfall from June to October and heavy to very heavy rainfall from November to May.

Society and culture
The majority of citizens work as farmers, in the metal industry, the public service, or in a variety of home industries, including teak furniture-making and weaving sarongs.

As is generally the case with 'urbanisation', many young people leave the area after high school, heading for larger urban centres such as Jakarta, Bandung, and Semarang and some timber processing towns such as Banjarmasin and Balikpapan. In the last three decades, some have been working overseas in places such as the Middle East, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Their financial remittances are an important source of income for the area. The out-of-town family members would generally return to Slawi for the Moslem holidays of Idul Fitri as a tradition.

Local crafts include traditional forms of batik and metalworking, and Wayang Kulit puppet shows are also performed.

The local language of the area is Javanese, spoken with a distinctive regional accent.

The local cuisine lists among others, Tahu Aci, a fried tofu triangle with one side filled with cassava flour - represents the best vegetarian fried tofu among Asian cuisine. Sega Lengko, made of boiled and steamed rice adorned with fermented soybean cake pieces tempeh, tofu, soy-bean sprouts tauge, sand-fried peanuts, and some hand-crushed krupuk aci (cassava flour crackers), and/or krupuk udang (prawn crackers), fried shallots with mild chili peanut sauce over the top before serving. There is also a variety of chicken turmeric soup, Soto Tegal, and Sate Tegal. There are many local food stalls, called Warteg (Warung Tegal), which offer daily meals at affordable prices for all walks of life.

Tea drinking at the small or large eatery has a famous local term called Moci - literally tea drinking from one small clay teapot with one teacup for each person. It is the way to drink the locally produced fragrant jasmine black tea. The teapot is filled with a small paper bag the size of a matchbox full of jasmine tea and poured with slightly scalding hot water. The brewed tea is then poured into a clay teacup with rock sugar. The way the locals do is not to stir avoiding average sweetness, and drink while it is hot preferably with some slurping noise as well. Some will pour it on the saucer and slurp it with abandoned pleasure. The idea is to get to the last slurp or sip when it is sweetest and in this way encourage refill. It somewhat reflects the Malay pantun proverb, 'berakit-rakit ke hulu/berenang-renang ke tepian/ bersakit-sakit dahulu/bersenang-senang kemudian', meaning there is a satisfying end to a difficult beginning. Not to be mistaken with the way the Russians drink their tea, by holding the rock sugar between their teeth and sipping the tea.

Moci is frequently accompanied by Mendoan, a moist fermented soybean cake (tempe or tempeh) fried in wheat flour batter, often eaten with sambal ulek (oelek) or plain chilli paste or simply bite into one bird's eye chilli then bite a piece of the tempe. This is a favourite drink while enjoying the famous Sate Tegal, a sate of local goat meat.

Local areas of interest
There are several beaches within easy reach of Slawi, as well as Guci, an area of waterfalls, gardens, and public hot springs at the foot of Slamet Mountain, approximately 27 km south of Slawi. In addition, nearby Alun Alun Kabupaten Slawi is a garden with a large fountain that is popular on Sundays.

In the town itself, there are the old and new markets, the Singa and Rama theatres, as well as the historical Pankah Sugar Factory, and the 4th Slawi Primary School, both of which are part of the Dutch colonial legacy in the city.

Notable residents

 * Slamet Gundono (1966–2014) Wayang puppeteer and artist
 * Tan Hong Boen (1905–82) writer and businessman
 * Imelda Wiguna (b. 1951) badminton player

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was keep (no concensus). I still merged the content to Skye Sweetnam to flesh out the content on this subject already there. - Mgm|(talk) 11:44, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

For instance the term internets, which was coined by Bush, has its own article. What is the difference exactly? If your going to keep something like 'internets' around than you should keep the article on volio. - Anon
 * response: Ms. Sweetnam does not have quite the same ammount of public exposure as Mr. Bush. --Scimitar 14:03, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * So, Wikipedia allows neologisms from some celebrities but not from others depending on the level of fame achieved by the celeb? Ms. Sweetnam is in fact very well known. She's had a top 40 hit in the states, her album has sold very well considering it's a debut, and her videos have gotten good airplay on Muchmusic and YTV Hitlist. Also, she's a much better speaker than Bush and is obviously much hotter. - I don't have a name
 * Yes. Isn't fame, after all, the metric of notability? If I were to curse out the pope tomorrow morning, no one would care.  If Jessica Simpson were to do so, people would be incensed.  Why? Because she's more well-known than me. jglc | t | c 13:39, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Patriarch Pimen I of Moscow

Patriarch Pimen (Патриарх Пи́мен, born Sergey Mikhailovich Izvekov, Серге́й Миха́йлович Изве́ков; July 23 1910 – May 3, 1990), was the 14th Patriarch of Moscow and the primate of the Russian Orthodox Church from 1970 to 1990.

Biography
He was born to a pious family in 1910 in the village of Kobylino, Maloyaroslavetsky Uyezd, Kaluga Governorate (now Maloyaroslavetsky District, Kaluga Oblast). Soon the family moved to the Bogorodsk (now Noginsk, Moscow oblast).

On December 5, 1925, he tonsured a riassophore monk (similar to temporary vows) at Sretensky Monastery in Moscow. However, he stayed in this monastery for only about a month and left it due to the fact that the abbot of the monastery, Bishop Boris (Rukin), went into schism, retaining the monastery property for himself. On October 4, 1927, at the age of seventeen, he took eternal monastic vows with the name Pimen in honor of St. Poemen the Great in the Hermitage of the Holy Paraclete, a skete of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. On July 16, 1930, he was ordained a hierodeacon by Archbishop Philip (Gumilevsky) of Zvenigorod, who then ruled the Moscow Diocese; on January 12, 1931, he was ordained a hieromonk at the Epiphany Cathedral in Dorogomilov.

In the summer of 1940, he entered the literature department of the Andijan Evening Pedagogical Institute (now Andijan State University). On October 25, 1940, he was appointed a teacher of Andijan School No. 1. By the beginning of World War II, he graduated from the first year of the Institute. On August 10, 1941, he was drafted into the Red Army. From September 1945 to February 1946, he was treated at the Moscow Regional Tuberculosis Institute for spinal tuberculosis; on March 20, 1946, Bishop Onesimus (Festinatov) of Vladimir and Suzdal appointed him full-time priest of the Annunciation Cathedral of the former Annunciation Monastery in Murom.

In August 1946, he moved to Odessa, becoming first the rector of the bishop's church, and then the treasurer of the St. Eliah Monastery. In Odessa, he was under the command and patronage of Bishop Sergius (Larin), with whom he moved to Rostov-on-Don in 1947. At the beginning of 1947, for several months, at the request of Bishop Hieronymus (Zakharov) of Ryazan, he obeyed the sacristan of the Boris and Gleb Cathedral in Ryazan but was forced to leave due to dissatisfaction with his activities of local authorities.

On December 2, 1947, by the decree of Bishop Sergius, Hegumen Pimen was appointed secretary of the Rostov diocesan Administration; on March 9, 1948, he was appointed clerk of the Rostov Cathedral of the Mother of God-Nativity.

On August 12, 1949, he was appointed namestnik (alderman) of the Pskov-Caves Monastery; on April 13, 1950, he was elevated to the rank of Archimandrite by Metropolitan Gregory (Chukov) of Leningrad. In 1954 he was transferred to a similar position in Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius.

On November 17, 1957, in Odessa, he was consecrated bishop of Balta, vicar of the Diocese of Odessa.

Beginning December 26, 1957, he was bishop of Dmitrov, vicar of the Moscow diocese. From July 1960 to November 14, 1961, he was Chancellor of the Moscow Patriarchate.

On November 23, 1960, he was elevated to the rank of archbishop. On March 16, 1961, he became archbishop of Tula and Belyov.

On November 14, 1961, he was appointed Metropolitan of Leningrad and Ladoga.

After the death of Patriarch Alexius I in 1970, Metropolitan Pimen was chosen Patriarchal Locum Tenens, essentially a temporary replacement. Because 1970 was the centennial of Lenin's birth, Soviet authorities did not want a church council to select a new Patriarch during that year.

A Local Council was opened May 30, 1971. On June 2, 1971, the final day of the Council, Metropolitan Pimen was elected Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia. He was enthroned on June 3 of that year. (The other important act of the Council was the abolition of the "oath" on the old rites from the Great Moscow Synod of 1667.)

Pimen's task was to lead a Christian church in a state ruled by an officially atheist Communist party. In his post, he worked closely with the Communist authorities, participating in numerous "peace movement" conferences sponsored by the government. Pimen was awarded the Soviet Peace Fund Medal (1969, 1971) and, in 1970, the Gold Medal "Борцу за мир" ("Fighter for Peace") by the 'Soviet Committee for the Defence of Peace'. Pimen was a member of the World Peace Council from 1963 onwards. In 1961, Pimen was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labour (орден Трудового Красного Знамени), one of the highest awards of the time.

Near the end of his difficult term as head of the Russian Orthodox Church, he organized the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of the Christianization of Rus' in 1988. This event coincided with political reforms that ended much of the Communist party's anti-religious activity, and the church celebration was seen as marking the end of the persecution of Orthodox Christianity in the Soviet Union. When Patriarch Pimen died in 1990, the government made no effort to influence the choice of his successor.
