Labcabincalifornia

Labcabincalifornia is the second album by The Pharcyde, released in 1995, three years after their debut Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde. The album's production was handled by The Pharcyde themselves and Jay Dee, with additional help from Diamond D and M-Walk. The video for the album's first single, "Drop", was directed by Spike Jonze and used footage of the group performing the song backwards, replayed backwards, giving it a surreal quality. The song was a hit, as was the follow-up single "Runnin'," which peaked at #55 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Overall, this album is a more mellow and introspective affair than their debut and features more somber themes such as dealing with fame and success, drug abuse, and broken down relationships. Album sales compared to Bizarre Ride did not fare as well; the group was not able to reach Gold status. Although it received mixed reviews upon release due to the group's sudden shift of direction from its previous album, it received critical acclaim in retrospective reviews, with many lauding its consistency, smooth production and touchy subject matter. After Labcabincalifornia was released, Fatlip left the group to concentrate on his solo career.

Cowasji Jehangir Hall

Sir Cowasji Jehangir Public Hall is a museum of modern art and was part of the Institute of Science prior to 1996. The hall was built in 1911 by George Wittet and funded by Cowasji Jehangir. It is located in Colaba area of Mumbai, India.

History
In 1911, Cowasji Jehangir Hall was constructed, named after Sir Cowasji Jehangir because major part of funding was done by him, while the rest of the funds were given by another two philanthropists of Mumbai, Sir Jacob Sassoon and Sir Currimbhoy Ibrahim.

In the initial days, this was the only Hall available at Colaba area and the Hall was busy and well maintained till the 1950s. However, in the later period, new auditoriums were built in Mumbai, which fact made this Hall unsought for, at one point of time this venue came under the threat of different kinds of uses, making art lovers upset. It is at that time that National Art Gallery came in the picture to make it a functional museum.

In 1996, the National Gallery of Modern Art, Mumbai was set up in the building.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Kuchen. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Kuchen~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:13, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Chances Are (song)

"Chances Are" is a popular song with music by Robert Allen and lyrics by Al Stillman. It was published in 1957.

Chart performance
The song was one of many compositions by the Stillman-Allen team that were chart hits in the 1950s. It was listed on Billboard's "Most Played by Jockeys" survey for Johnny Mathis, charting in 1957, and was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1998. The song reached No. 4 on Billboard's Best Sellers in Stores survey, along with its flip "The Twelfth of Never", which Mathis initially disliked. The song, released on both 45 RPM and 78 RPM formats, was also included on the 1958 Mathis compilation Johnny's Greatest Hits. The album was certified a gold record on June 5, 1959. In Canada, the song reached number 3 on the CHUM Charts.

Later recordings

 * Mathis re-recorded the song in 1996 as a duet with Liza Minnelli for her album Gently.

Pop culture references

 * A portion of this song can be heard in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
 * The song appears in the American Dad episode "Finger Lenting Good".

sources on George Edward Woodberry ?
Hi Superslum. I saw your start on George Edward Woodberry. It looks good, however would it be possible for you to cite sources so that it can more easily be verified. A good system to use is footnotes although there are others if you prefer them. Thanks Mozzerati 10:47, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

 * My main source of information is New International Encyclopedia. It was printed in about ten different editions from 1902 to the late 1920s by Dodd, Mead and Company of New York City.

 * The encyclopedia was printed in two main versions: (Α): the 1902 main version (which is in the public domain), and (Β): the 1913-1916 main version (which is probably in the public domain, too).

 * I always modify the information by omitting one or more bits of information just to keep on the safe side of the copyright laws. I never copy 100% of the information, though sometimes it is necessary to copy entire sentences.  I attempt to make use of the "fair use" provision of the copyright law.

 * Approximately 99% of my contributions have been gleaned from the 1926 edition of the New International Encyclopedia.

 * Superslum 11:31, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Could you please identify your contributions which are from the NIE? I have designed a template for your use, based on a template we already use for articles taken from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica. It is Template:NIE and you can add it to an article simply by adding the text. Thank you. Gamaliel 02:56, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Good work on the biographical articles
Hi Superslum. I noticed that you've been putting up a lot of articles for people from the late 1800s and early 1900s. I think you are working on one of Wikipedia's weaker areas, as not many editors have the desire to work on such articles, so your contributions are particularly valuable. Keep up the great work on expanding Wikipedia's scope and coverage! btm talk 08:47, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

NPOV disputes
Plenty of controversial issues exist in the category named NPOV disputes.

 * NPOV disputes Superslum 08:59, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

 * The biggest lie that I have seen in the Wikipedia is at KKK. A statement claims that the Ku Klux Klan broke into the homes of freed slaves "to steal firearms."  Freed slaves possessed neither homes nor firearms, therefore it was impossible for the Ku Klux Klansmen to commit break-ins "to steal firearms."  Superslum 14:35, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Not true. My great grandmother Rebecca was the grand daughter of Eliza Davis, a freedman who owned land in Pittsylvania County, VA. Great grandma had a shot-gun and my grandfather remembers her shooting it out of the window of their little house on that same land at the KKK while they circled the house with horses (this was in the 1920s.)

 * Great grandma learned to shoot from her grand father, who trapped fur to supplement their earnings from tobacco. My grand father learned from her and she taught me. We still have the gun.

 * Here is a photo of this amazing woman: http://www1.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=futurebird&pid=24&view=0&rand=87351

KKK 1913?
What does the KKK have to do with 1913? That chronological improbability doesn't do anything to persuade me of your deep grasp of history... Churchh 02:52, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The Ku Klux Klan has kept a presence in the United States since 1865. The colored women of 1913 were not educated people who were politically active.  They were lucky to have a sixth-grade elementary school education .  It constitutes fraud whenever anyone claims that those uneducated colored women were almost "unanimous" in agreement.  Most of them were housekeepers, washerwomen, cooks, cleaners, cotton-pickers, and so on.  They were not a mass of suave, erudite, politically-active females.  People lynched negroes in 1913.  Superslum 04:07, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

 * The KKK wasn't particularly organized in any meaningful form in 1913. Churchh 12:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Around 1960 (more or less) the Klansmen would boast that "My grandaddy was a Klansman, my daddy was a Klansman, I'm a Klansman, my son is a Klansman: Klan forever!" The Ku Klux Klan has molded the United States, as far as colored people are concerned.  All of the politicians and authorities have paid heed to the KKK since 1865. They will be present in the United States as long as colored people are around.  Superslum 13:19, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I really don't know whether black women actively worked for voting rights, but I do know that you don't have the slightest concern for historical accuracy -- which doesn't cause me to be too impressed with you chiding other people for their historical inaccuracies. Churchh 22:28, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

The main reason that I acted was to see if the tag would work for me. I had never used that tag, and I was only experimenting with it. The statement that I saw was such a flagrant lie that it invited a tag. I do not waste much time attempting to correct the flagrant lies which plague the Wikipedia. In Europe, in Germany, young people exist who dispute the events associated with World War II. According to a news report that I heard on my television set, the German government passed a law that makes it a crime to dispute the history of Germany at the time of World War II. In five or ten years, perhaps, Wikipedia will have evolved to the point where flagrant lies will be forcefully expunged from it. There are so many lies in it at this time that Wikipedia is at risk of developing a poor reputation for veracity, like "Bill" Clinton has developed amongst the U. S. Presidents. I may not ever again employ the tag because I know that liars will resurrect their lies. I experienced that occurrence at Gag rule where some people insisted on replacing facts with bullshit. Superslum 11:15, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

2,000+ edits
Onward, ever onward! I have now surged past 2,000 edits. I have introduced hundreds of new pages, too. Spring fever has slowed me a bit, lately, however. Superslum 12:45, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Supreme Court lists
I saw your edits to the various talk pages of the Supreme Court case lists, e.g. Talk:List of United States Supreme Court cases, volume 68. I realize that there are issues with some of the case names linking to the wrong page, but the only reason I left them alone for right now is that I'm not sure how I'm going to proceed. Take The Siren, I don't know if it will link to The Siren (case) or The Siren (1869), or The Siren, 1869, or many other possibilites. For the moment, I think the links should be left alone, at least until there's a consensus on WikiProject U.S. Supreme Court cases on what to do next. Thanks. --MZMcBride 17:28, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I just spent the best part of the morning
producing an article about Hezekiah Augur only to discover at the last possible moment that you'd already done one. It seemed to me (i.e.. opinion) that you had pretty much used a pre-existing uncopyrighted article from elsewhere, so I concluded that perhaps you did not have a great feeling of ownership about the piece, so I am pretty much replacing your article with mine. If this seems presumptuous, or unfair, or almost anything other than a good idea, PLEASE let me know, we can revert back to your piece and go forward from there. Life is supposed to be fun.

George Parker Winship
A tag has been placed on George Parker Winship, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Jeepday (talk) 06:05, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Louisa Lane Drew
Please note that adding a link to the Wikipedia article on the New International Encyclopedia is not the proper way to add a source if it has nothing to do with the issue you are editing. The article on New International Encyclopedia has nothing to do with Louisa Lane Drew. Please read WP:RS and WP:CITE for information on reliable sources and making citations. Note also that you added a category (People from London) with nothing in the article to back it up. Frankly, I'm rather surprised that you would make such mistakes after editing here for more than two years. Ward3001 (talk) 02:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

 * "New International Encyclopedia says that she was born in London": But you don't cite that by linking to the Wikipedia article on New International Encyclopedia. Cite New International Encyclopedia directly, including the page number and all publication information about the encyclopedia. If I write a quote by George W. Bush that I read in The New York Times, I don't cite it by linking to the Wikipedia article on The New York Times because that article will have nothing about the quote. I cite the New York Times issue in which I read the quote. Again, see WP:CITE on how to cite sources. This is basic Wikipedia procedure, not to mention elementary logic. Regarding the category, you did not make a sourced statement in the article stating that she was born in London, and you can't add the category until there is something in the article to back it up. Ward3001 (talk) 03:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * There are at least 50,000 biographies in New International Encyclopedia. Nearly all of those biographies mention the place of birth of each person, and various facts related to each person.  Since I have no desire to become involved in a "dispute" or a "controversy" with any other contributors to Wikipedia, I am hitting the gas pedal and zooming away from this article.  Time is a-wasting. Superslum (talk) 08:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Error in the NIE template
The following mistake results in a widely propagated inaccuracy to an out-of-copyright citation at Wikipedia.If it can be fixed, the correction will propagate widely, and result in improved information accuracy in the encyclopedia.

The template:

should reflect the fact that the editors of this first edition were: Daniel Coit Gilman, Harry Thurston Peck, and Frank Moore Colby (see Template:New_International_Encyclopedia).

Instead, it presents the the third editor as "F. Moore" (presenting the middle name, omitting the surname).

Please, indicate here how this might be fixed (or, if easily done, execute the correction yourselves)? Cheers. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 16:18, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

Cassidy O'Reilly

Cassidy James Riley (born November 21, 1976), also known as Kassidy James, is an American professional wrestler. He is best known for his work with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment.

Early years (1995–2002)
O'Reilly became interested in wrestling at the age of six after seeing a gory picture of Abdullah the Butcher in an issue of Pro Wrestling Illustrated, and at the age of eight he received a pair of wrestling tights from his mother and aunt as a Christmas present.

O'Reilly trained under Lolly Dude, a promoter in Dallas, for eight months, receiving supplemental training from Terry Taylor and Tommy Rogers, who were working for Dude at the time. He debuted in 1995 under his own name, facing Cedric Crain in Brighton, Tennessee. He then began wrestling on the Southern independent circuit.

O'Reilly began competing for the NWA Mississippi promotion, and won the vacant NWA Mississippi Heavyweight Championship (also designated the NWA Southern Television Championship) on June 5, 1999 in Grenada, eliminating the penultimate survivor, Big Don Brodie, to win a battle royal. He held the title for over four months before losing to Ricky Murdock on November 6 in Charleston.

During his reign as NWA Mississippi Heavyweight Champion, O'Reilly worked for the Nashville-based Music City Wrestling promotion. He formed a tag team with Air Paris, and on August 14 they defeated Ashley Hudson and Corey Williams in a match for the vacant MCW Tag Team Championships (also designated the NWA North American Tag Team Championships). They held the titles until December 25, when they lost to Mike Rapada and The Colorado Kid. The team of O'Reilly and Paris was split when Paris was signed by World Championship Wrestling.

O'Reilly began working for Bert Prentice's USA Championship Wrestling promotion, and in 2000 WCW began a talent exchange programme with Prentice which saw WCW wrestlers train in Nashville while Prentice's employees would work for WCW. O'Reilly worked for WCW for a year and a half, until the promotion was bought by the WWF in March 2001. Along with wrestlers such as James Storm and Chris Harris, O'Reilly was part of "R & B Security", a group of jobbers who were billed as the bodyguards of Vince Russo and Eric Bischoff. They would be involved in one-sided confrontations with bigger stars on Nitro and Thunder, and would wrestle one another on Worldwide and Saturday Night. O'Reilly also made an appearance on the big stage during the opening segment of the Mike Awesome and DDP match at the WCW Great American Bash 2000 PPV as a medic in the back of the ambulance.

O'Reilly made his WWE television debut on Sunday Night Heat in October 2002, losing to Raven.

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2002–2007)
O'Reilly formed a new tag team with Chase Stevens known as "The Hotshots". The Hotshots worked in Nashville before appearing with the fledgling NWA:TNA promotion in July 2002, when they were signed to full-time contracts. Following a feud with America's Most Wanted, the team split in October 2002 when O'Reilly left TNA due to travel problems, returning to Louisiana and taking a hiatus from wrestling.

O'Reilly returned to TNA in 2004 as "Cassidy Riley", with his earlier appearances never acknowledged by the promotion. He was booked as a fan favorite underdog who regularly lost to physically more powerful villains. Riley faced Raven on the January 21, 2005 episode of TNA Impact!, and was promptly squashed, with Raven passing on several chances to pin him before finally pinning Riley and then casually breaking two of his fingers after the match. Riley was saved by Dustin Rhodes, who he subsequently developed an onscreen friendship with. Riley teamed with Rhodes on several occasions until Rhodes left the company, then resumed his singles career.

On July 8, 2005, Riley was squashed by the number one contender to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, Abyss. After Abyss continued to attack O'Reilly after pinning him, Raven (the reigning champion) ran to ringside and attacked Abyss, but was overpowered. The following week, Riley thanked Raven and told him that he would be there if Raven needed him. On July 17 at TNA No Surrender 2005, Riley was seen in the audience dressed in Raven's signature "grunge" style. His continued emulation of Raven's dress style and mannerisms made him a target for Raven's enemies, Jeff Jarrett and Rhino, who attacked him on the July 29 episode of Impact!. Raven interrupted the proceedings, however, and spared Riley a piledriver at the hands of Rhino.

At TNA Sacrifice 2005 on August 14, Riley interfered in the main event tag team match, preventing Jeff Jarrett from hitting Raven with a guitar. At Unbreakable on September 11, he faced Jerrelle Clark in a free-for-all match which ended in an abrupt draw when Monty Brown entered the ring and attacked both men. Later that night, Riley attempted to help Raven during his NWA World Heavyweight Championship title match with Rhino, but inadvertently distracted the referee just as Raven went for a pinfall.

In the weeks prior to Bound for Glory pay-per-view, Raven appeared to accept Riley as his follower. On the Saturday prior to Bound For Glory, Riley appeared on Impact! and stated that Raven would be attending the event. The following evening, he accompanied Raven to the ring for his confrontation with Rhino, and was Gored twice by Rhino as security attempted to separate Raven and Rhino.

On the December 4 episode of Impact! Raven was booked in a three-on-one handicap "House of Fun" match against all three members of The Diamonds in the Rough - Simon Diamond, David Young, and Elix Skipper. This was part of Larry Zbyszko's personal crusade to convince Raven to sign his release from TNA. Raven was heavily beaten for several minutes before Riley came to his aid, and held off the Diamonds in the Rough for a few moments. Eventually, the numbers overwhelmed him, but he had given Raven an opening that enabled him to take control of the match momentarily. Ultimately, however, Raven was defeated. Riley continued to aid Raven until Zbyszko finally managed to oust him from the promotion at TNA Final Resolution 2006 on January 15. Riley came to the ring and remonstrated with Zbyszko until Raven signalled for him to drop the issue and left the building.

World Wrestling Entertainment (2007–2008)
O'Reilly returned to WWE television on the ECW brand where, as Cassidy Riley, he was defeated by fellow TNA alumnus Marcus Cor Von (formerly Monty Brown) on January 16, 2007. Two nights later, it was announced that he had signed a developmental contract with WWE and would be reporting to Ohio Valley Wrestling. On March 20, 2007, O'Reilly was on ECW again, he lost to Snitsky. O'Reilly then had a gimmick change to Kassidy James, the little brother of OVW/WWE wrestler K.C. James. On June 29, 2007 The James Boys defeated the Major Brothers to re-capture the OVW Southern Tag Team Championships. They then lost the belts on August 1 to the team of T.J. Dalton and Jamin Olivencia. On August 24, they regained the titles, defeating Olivencia in a handicap match. After again losing the titles to Steve Lewington and Chet the Jet on September 5, they regained the titles for the fourth time three weeks later. He was released from the WWE along with five other developmental wrestlers on February 4, 2008. After his release from WWE, O'Reilly continued working in independent promotions in Tennessee and Oklahoma and retired later that year.

Independent circuit (2011–present)
In 2011, O'Reilly returned to wrestling working in the independent circuit. He works mainly in Tennessee. Today he works for Bayou Independent Wrestling based in Louisiana.

Return to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2013)
In March 2013, O'Reilly returned to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling where he reunited with Chase Stevens where on March 17 competed in a 10 Men Gauntlet Battle Royal won by Matt Morgan. The next night he and Stevens lost to Aces And Eights Garrett Bischoff and Wes Brisco.

Drill hall

A drill hall is a place such as a building or a hangar where soldiers practise and perform military drills.

Description
In the United Kingdom and Commonwealth, the term was used for the whole headquarters building of a military reserve unit, which usually incorporated such a hall. Many of these drill halls were built through public subscriptions in order to support the local Volunteer Force which was raised in the late 1850s.

In the United Kingdom, these were later renamed Territorial Army (TA) Centres and later Army Reserve Centres (ARC)s. As well as a drill hall itself, they now usually feature other facilities such as a gymnasium, motor transport department, lecture rooms, stores, an armoury, administrative offices and the Officer's, Warrant Officers and Senior NCOs, and Junior Ranks Messes. Some Officer Training Corps, Army Cadet Force and Air Training Corps units are also co-located on the site of modern Army Reserve Centres, for example Blackheath drill hall.

Over 1,860 drill halls have been documented in England, with Historic England estimating that around 1,500 were extant in 2015. Fifteen purpose built drill halls are Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England, dating from 1864 to 1907. The Grade II listed former Drill Hall on York Road, Great Yarmouth was built for the 2nd Volunteer Battalion Norfolk Regiment in 1867. Other drill halls were converted from extant buildings, including the now demolished St Nicholas Drill Hall in King's Lynn in Norfolk.

Richard Henry Pratt

Brigadier General Richard Henry Pratt (December 6, 1840 – March 15, 1924) was an American military general who founded and was longtime superintendent of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School at Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

Pratt is associated with the first recorded use of the word "racism," which he used in 1902 to criticize racial segregation. Pratt is also known for using the phrase "kill the Indian, save the man" in reference to the ethos of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School and efforts to forcibly assimilate Native Americans into dominant white American culture.

Early life
Pratt was born on December 6, 1840, in Rushford, New York, to Richard and Mary Pratt (née Herrick). He was the eldest of their three sons. He contracted smallpox as a young child, and had lifelong facial scarring as a result. In 1847, his father moved the family west to Logansport, Indiana.

Pratt's father later left his family to take part in the California Gold Rush in 1849, hoping to strike it rich, but was robbed and murdered by another prospector. Pratt had to support his mother and two younger brothers.

American Civil War
At the outbreak of the American Civil War, Pratt enlisted in the 9th Indiana Infantry Regiment. After his first three-month term expired, he re-enlisted as a sergeant of the 2nd Regiment Indiana Cavalry; he saw action at the Battle of Chickamauga. While on a recruiting detail in Indiana during the winter of 1863-1864, Pratt met Anna Mason. They were married on April 12, 1864. Eight days later he was commissioned as a first lieutenant of the 11th Regiment Indiana Cavalry.

Pratt served in administrative roles for the remainder of the war and was mustered out of the Volunteer Service on May 29, 1865, at the rank of captain. He became a companion of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, a military society for officers who had served the Union during the Civil War.

Pratt returned to Logansport, Indiana to be reunited with Anna, where he ran a hardware store. After two years in the hardware business, he re-entered the Army in March 1867 as a second lieutenant of the 10th United States Cavalry. This was an African American regiment, some of whose members were freedmen. When they were assigned to Fort Sill in the Oklahoma Territory, they were nicknamed by Native Americans as the "Buffalo Soldiers", because of the texture of their hair.

Pratt's long and active military career included eight years in the Great Plains, during the Indian Wars. He participated in the Washita campaign of 1868–1869 and the Red River War of 1874–1875. The severe winter of 1874-1875 resulted in many hostiles surrendering to US Indian Agents for their tribes. Pratt was responsible for gathering testimony to assess charges against men for actions outside warfare. He worked with interpreters and prisoners to clear as many charges as possible.

Pratt was promoted to captain in February 1883; major in July 1898; lieutenant colonel in February 1901; and to colonel in January 1903. He retired from the Army in February 1903; in April 1904 he was advanced to brigadier general on the Retired List.

Fort Marion and Carlisle
After the Indian Wars subsided, President Ulysses S. Grant's Attorney General concluded that a state of war could not exist between a nation and its wards (which the federally recognized tribes were considered). He ordered the prisoners to be sent as prisoners of war for permanent imprisonment at Fort Marion, St. Augustine, Florida. Pratt was chosen to lead and supervise the prisoners at the fort, because he had experience with both the Indians and interpreters from working on their cases. After he requested further authority over the prisoners, he began to experiment with education at the fort.

In the 1870s at Fort Marion in St. Augustine, Florida, he introduced classes in the English language, art, and craftsmanship to several dozen prisoners who had been chosen from among those who had surrendered in the Indian Territory at the end of the Red River War. In addition, he worked to give prisoners agency and some independence: enlisting them in guard duty, assigning them other supervisory roles over their community, leading marching and maneuvers for exercise. In June 1879, while he was still stationed in Florida, Pratt visited a Seminole village which was headed by Chief Chipco. Pratt spoke to Chipco and wrote an ethnographic study about the village.

On November 1, 1879, he founded the Carlisle Indian Industrial School at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, the first of many off-reservation boarding schools for Native Americans.

Pratt did not regard his innovations at Fort Marion as limited to Native Americans. He developed the paradigm of compulsory immersion education. At various times, it would be used in attempted assimilation of other minorities in the United States and its territories, including African Americans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Latinos, Pacific Islanders, Asians, and Mormons. He took his pedagogical inspiration from the Puritans.

Cultural assimilation of Native Americans
Pratt instituted a practice of Americanization of Native Americans by cultural assimilation, which he effected both at Fort Marion and Carlisle. He believed that to claim their rightful place as American citizens, Native Americans needed to renounce their tribal way of life, convert to Christianity, abandon their reservations, and seek education and employment among the "best classes" of Americans. In his writings he described his belief that the government must "kill the Indian...to save the man".

Pratt was outspoken and a leading member of what was called the "Friends of the Indian" movement at the end of the 19th century. He believed in the "noble" cause of "civilizing" Native Americans. He said, "The Indians need the chances of participation you have had and they will just as easily become useful citizens."

Pratt regarded Native Americans as worthy of respect and help, and capable of full participation in society. Many of his contemporaries regarded Native Americans as nearly subhuman. . Pratt preached assimilation in a day marked by rank segregation.

Pratt was opposed to the segregation of Native American tribes on reservations, believing that it made them vulnerable to speculators and people who would take advantage of them. He came into conflict with the Indian Bureau and other government officials who supported the reservation system, as well as all those who made profits from them. In May 1904, Pratt denounced the Indian Bureau and the reservation system as a hindrance to the civilization and assimilation of Native Americans. This controversy, coupled with earlier disputes with the government over civil service reform, led to Pratt's forced retirement as superintendent of the Carlisle School on June 30, 1904.

The legacy of Pratt's boarding school programs is controversial among modern Native American tribes. Some have labelled the wider American Indian boarding school system, that Pratt began, as a form of cultural genocide that adversely affected their children and families.

Retirement
Pratt retired to his home in Rochester, New York. During his retirement years, he continued to lecture and argue his viewpoints.

Death
Pratt died on March 15, 1924, at the Letterman Army Hospital in present-day San Francisco. He is interred at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia.

Moisés Muñoz

Moisés Alberto Muñoz Rodríguez (born 1 February 1980) is a Mexican former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Muñoz began his career in 1999 with Monarcas Morelia, playing in over 200 matches for the club, before eventually moving to Atlante in 2010. In 2011, he was sold to Club América, with whom he won two league titles and two CONCACAF Champions League titles. He also had loan stints with Chiapas and Puebla before retiring in 2018.

He has also been called up to the Mexico national team, making his debut in 2004 and was a part of the national team which finished in fourth place at the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup.

In June 2012, Muñoz was involved in a car accident while driving from Morelia.

Early life
Muñoz was born in Aguililla, Michoacán, on 1 February 1980. Muñoz speaks English fluently, having been educated in Northern California during his formative years, attending elementary school and junior high school in Redwood City as an undocumented child of migrant workers. He never legalized his status in the United States, but his parents have U.S. resident status and live in San Jose. He returned to Mexico before high school and by age 19 was playing for his hometown club in Morelia.

Morelia
Moisés Muñoz made his league debut with Monarcas Morelia on 19 September 1999 against Pachuca. Muñoz initially was used as back-up for Ángel Comizzo. Morelia won the Invierno 2000 league tournament, achieving their first league title against Toluca, with Muñoz failing to appear in a match. Muñoz did not become a regular starter until the Apertura 2002 season, the same season Morelia advanced to the league final against Toluca, which they lost 4–2 on aggregate. The following season he helped Morelia advance to its second straight league final but lost to Monterrey. A native of the city of Morelia, he became a mainstay in the team, with his eleven years at the club one of the longest for a goalkeeper in the league. He played in 282 matches before being transferred to Atlante in the 2010 Draft.

Atlante
For the Apertura 2010 tournament, Muñoz joined Atlante in a trade for Argentine goalkeeper Federico Vilar. He would go on to be a permanent fixture for the club until his departure in 2011, making 53 league appearances.

América
On 25 November 2011, Muñoz joined Club América. In his debut tournament with the club – the Clausura 2012 – he started in 21 games and played in 90 minutes in 20 of them; he was subbed off in the second half of the league match against Atlas.

In May 2013, Muñoz played his first league final with América, conceding the only goal in the 0–1 first-leg loss to Cruz Azul. His performance in the second-leg at the Estadio Azteca on 26 May helped América achieve a dramatic comeback after losing 0–1, 0–2 on aggregate, to tie the match 1–1 in the 88th minute with a goal from captain Aquivaldo Mosquera. In the 92nd minute, with seconds left of injury time, Muñoz scored a diving header off an Osvaldo Martínez corner, which deflected off Cruz Azul defender Alejandro Castro, to send the game into extra-time, and subsequently to a penalty shoot-out. He saved Javier Orozco's penalty kick, and América would go on to win the shoot-out 4–2 and win their eleventh league title. Muñoz's performance was praised by various media outlets.

On 1 October 2016, Muñoz played his 500th league game in a 1–1 draw against Monterrey.

International career
Muñoz's first international cap for Mexico was in a friendly match against Ecuador on 27 October 2004. Muñoz was the second-choice goalkeeper at both the 2004 Copa América and the 2005 Confederations Cup. Muñoz was the starting goalkeeper during the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Coach Ricardo La Volpe included him in the preliminary squad for the 2006 World Cup, but he did not make the final 23-man list. Muñoz had also been called up as a backup goalkeeper by Hugo Sánchez and Sven-Göran Eriksson.

Five years after his last call up and eight years after his last cap, Muñoz was selected by coach José Manuel de la Torre to Mexico's 2013 Gold Cup squad. On 14 July 2013, he was the starting goalkeeper for Mexico's final group stage match against Martinique, which Mexico won 3–1. During the match, Muñoz failed to save a penalty-kick from Kévin Parsemain.

Later that year, after Miguel Herrera took over as national team coach, Muñoz was named the starting goalkeeper for the 2014 World Cup qualification playoff matches against New Zealand. He played in both matches as Mexico won the playoff 9–3 on aggregate. He did not make the final 23-man squad for the 2014 World Cup.

In June 2015 Muñoz was named in Mexico's squad participating in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, being handed the number 1 jersey, instead of the number 23 he traditionally wears (which was instead given to José Juan Vázquez).

In October 2015, Muñoz was named in Mexico's squad for the 2015 CONCACAF Cup.

Personal life
Muñoz is the cousin of fellow goalkeeper Carlos Felipe Rodríguez. And also is the brother of the professional football player, José Roberto Muñoz.

Muñoz has stated that had he not decided on playing professional football he would have played basketball or American football.

On 3 June 2012, while driving his Honda Odyssey through the highway that connects Mexico City with Guadalajara, Muñoz lost control of his vehicle and flipped it on to its roof. He was heading to Morelia, Michoacán at around 7:00 p.m. with his wife Verónica (née Castro Alfaro) and two kids, Héctor and Zafiro. All of them were taken to Ángeles del Pedregal hospital by helicopter – the same hospital where Salvador Cabañas, a former Club América player, was treated after being shot in the head. Apparently, the harsh rainfall in the area caused Muñoz to lose control of his vehicle. Moreover, according to reports by the Mexican Red Cross, Muñoz suffered from traumatic brain injury but was "stable and conscious." Originally, it was reported that Muñoz's health condition was serious, but had improved as he received medical attention. It was later stated that his head wound was not life-threatening, nor would it affect his playing career. Muñoz only suffered a head wound and never lost consciousness of what had happened. He later revealed that he had suffered a broken finger. In an interview Moi said, “If God kept me alive, it’s because I will do something big.” Then in Clausura 2013 Final against La Maquina he scored the tying goal.

Miguel Herrera, manager of Club América, stated in a press conference what Muñoz had personally told him: "I am very well. Fortunately, the doctors discarded any head fractures, and I am now boarding the helicopter and heading to Ángeles del Pedregal (the hospital). I will recover. Wait on me, Miguel."

Media
In 2015, Muñoz made an appearance on the Mexican telenovela La vecina.

Muñoz was an analyst for Fox Sports during the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

M-153 (Michigan highway)

M-153 is an east–west state trunkline highway in the Metro Detroit area of the US state of Michigan. It is also known as Ford Road for nearly its entire length, except for its westernmost portion where the highway follows a short expressway to M-14. Named for William Ford, father of Henry Ford, Ford Road runs from near Dixboro to the Dearborn–Detroit border. The M-153 designation continues along Wyoming Avenue where it terminates at a junction with Interstate 94 (I-94) and US Highway 12 (US 12) on the city line.

Ford Road has been a part of the state highway system since December 2, 1930. Since the state has maintained the roadway as M-153, it has been extended westward from Wayne County into Washtenaw County and upgraded in sections to expressway conditions. The first of these improvements were made in the 1930s with additional upgrades in the 1960s and 1970s. The last change was made by 1980 to create the modern routing.

Route description
M-153 starts at a trumpet interchange with M-14's exit 10 in Superior Township east of Ann Arbor. The highway starts as a four-lane divided expressway curving southeasterly to meet Ford Road near Frains Lake Road. Ford Road continues as a local road west of here to end at Plymouth Road south of the M-14 freeway. At Frains Lake Road, M-153 narrows to a two-lane undivided road, passing through rural areas until the Washtenaw–Wayne county line at Napier Road, where it enters Canton.

In Canton, M-153 initially runs through a residential area, widening to five lanes west of Beck Road. Retail stores line the corridor by the time it reaches Canton Center Road. The segment of M-153 between Canton Center and I-275 is Canton's main commercial corridor, and one of the busiest corridors in Detroit's western suburbs. Numerous strip malls and retail stores line the corridor, and it widens to seven lanes near Haggerty Road. M-153 meets I-275 at the east end of Canton, at a partial cloverleaf interchange built over the western crossing of Willow Creek, a tributary of the River Rouge. M-153 then narrows back to five lanes as it crosses into Westland between Lotz and Hix roads.

Just after entering Westland, an overpass carries M-153 over a railroad track, flanked on either side by an at-grade frontage road. Ford Road continues east, forming a section of the Garden City boundary near Venoy Road. The trunkline crosses into Dearborn Heights at Inkster Road. It forms the boundary between Dearborn and Dearborn Heights between Gulley and Evergreen roads, crossing US 24 (Telegraph Road) in between. East of Telegraph Road, M-153 is built to expressway standards complete with interchanges at Edward N. Hines Drive, Evergreen Road, M-39 (Southfield Freeway) and Greenfield Road. The highway crosses the River Rouge north of the Dearborn Country Club west of Evergreen Road. Ford Road ends at Wyoming and McGraw avenues. M-153 turns south along Wyoming Avenue to cross I-94 at exit 210. This interchange is also the location where I-94 and US 12 (Michigan Avenue) cross, marking the eastern end of M-153 at Michigan Avenue.

Ford Road serves as the zero-mile line for the Detroit area's Mile Road System, though it is rarely referred to as such, nor is any other road south of 5 Mile on the grid. From the Canton Center Road intersection eastward, all of M-153 is a part of the National Highway System, a network of roads important to the country's economy, defense, and mobility. M-153 is maintained by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) like other state highways in Michigan. As a part of these maintenance responsibilities, the department tracks the volume of traffic that uses the roadways under its jurisdiction. MDOT's surveys in 2010 showed that the highest traffic levels along M-153 were the 64,956 vehicles daily between the River Rouge and the Southfield Freeway in Dearborn, on average; the lowest counts were the 10,380 vehicles per day between Plymouth Road and the end of the expressway in Superior Township.

History
Ford Road was named for William Ford, father of automobile pioneer Henry Ford. The elder Ford was born in Ireland and settled in Dearborn Township in 1847. William's carpentry business lead him around to regional businesses and neighbors, traveling the area until he took up the family business of farming after marriage to Mary Litogot. They settled on a farm near the intersection of modern-day Ford Road and Greenfield Avenue; this farm was Henry's birthplace in 1863. Settling into his family life, William started serving the local community. He was a road commissioner, school board member and a justice of the peace. In honor of his accomplishments, Ford Road was named in his honor before his death in March 1905.

Ford Road remained in township jurisdiction until August 29, 1924, when it was transferred to Wayne County control. It was transferred to state control on December 2, 1930. The Michigan State Highway Department designated it M-153 upon transfer to their responsibility. The highway designation was determined to continue west of the county line into Washtenaw County as a northerly bypass of Ann Arbor, but the segment between Canton Center Road and US 12 on Plymouth Road was not built at the time. The first extension west was finished in 1933 from the county line to Napier Road. The road was widened into a major thoroughfare between Detroit and Ann Arbor in 1934, to relieve congestion on Michigan Avenue. The highway bypass of Ann Arbor was cancelled by 1935, leaving the western terminus at US 12 (Plymouth Road).

Construction of a northerly freeway bypass of Ann Arbor along M-14 to M-153 was completed by 1965. A second freeway section was built between Ford Road at Frains Lake Road to the contemporary end of the M-14 freeway. This second freeway was assigned as part of M-153 and the former routing along Ford Road west to Plymouth Road was removed from the state trunkline highway system. A reconstruction project along M-153 in Dearborn in 1973 was completed, bringing that section of the highway up to expressway standards. Several interchanges were built along the segment including Hines Drive, Evergreen Road, M-39 (Southfield Freeway) and Greenfield Road. The last extension moved the western terminus in early 1980 when the M-14 freeway was completed, and M-153 was extended along a section of freeway used to connect the previous end of the M-14 freeway to Plymouth Road.

Cowasji Jehangir

Sir Cowasji Jehangir, 2nd Baronet, (16 February 1879 – 17 October 1962) was a prominent member of the Bombay Parsi community. He was the son of Sir Jehangir Cowasji Jehangir Readymoney, 1st Bt. (1853–1934) and grand-nephew of Sir Cowasji Jehangir Readymoney (1812–1878). He was educated at St John's College, Cambridge.

Cowasji Jehangir campaigned for a prominent role for the Parsi Zoroastrian community in independent India. He had become a member of the "Western India National Liberation Federation", at its founding in 1919, and was elected its president in 1936 and 1937. He was also active in the reactionary "Parsee Central Committee", which was critical of Congress Parsis like Dadabhai Naoroji and Pherozeshah Mehta.

At the second "Round Table Conference" in London during 1930–1932, where the framework for the political and constitutional future of India was laid down, he was one of the three political "liberals" to represent the Parsi community. To the Minorities Committee and the Franchise Committee he advocated a graded franchise based on the standard of education which would have given the Parsis an immense over-representation in future elections. Such a scheme was never taken seriously by any other party in the discussions.

After 1939, when it was apparent that independence was to come in a short while, a large number of Parsis became active in the "Western India National Liberation Federation", whose meetings were often held at his home. As a last-ditch effort, on the eve of independence in 1945, he pleaded to the Viceroy in a telegram not to forget the claims of the Parsis. This appeal, made as the president of the "Parsee Central Association" was nullified by a telegram from a group of Parsis calling themselves the "Freedom Group" which rejected any special privilege for the Parsis.

Legacy
The Jehangir Art Gallery was established in 1952 in memory of his late son, the Cowasji Jehangir Hall and Jehangir Institute of Psychiatry are named after him. The Readymoney Nursing Home (now Jehangir Hospital) in Pune was founded on property donated by Sir Cowasji and his wife Lady Hirabai. Originally named Readymoney Villa, it was renamed in 1944 after their son Jehangir Cowasji Jehangir, who died in an accident that year.

Portal:Business/Intro

In the social sciences, economics is the study of human choice behavior and the methodology used to make associated investment and production decisions; in particular, though not limited to, how those choices and decisions determine the allocation of scarce resources and their effect on production, distribution, and consumption. The word "economics" is from the Greek words οἶκος [oikos], meaning "family, household, estate", and νέμω [nemo], or "distribution, allocation", hence meaning "household management" or "management of the state". An economist is a person using economic concepts and data in the course of employment, or someone who has earned a university degree in the subject. Economics undergraduate courses cover at least two main branches:

 * Microeconomics studies the behavior of individual households and firms in making decisions on the allocation of limited resources. Microeconomics applies to markets where goods or services are bought and sold. It examines how decisions and behaviors affect the supply and demand for goods and services, which determine prices, and how prices, in turn, determine the quantity supplied and quantity demanded of goods and services.
 * Macroeconomics studies inflation, price levels, rates of growth, national income, gross domestic product and changes in unemployment of a country, rather than the more specific details that microeconomics studies.

There are also other sub-fields of economics.

In economics, the field economic systems studies and analyzes the organizing of production, distribution, consumption and investment, as well as optimal resource allocation and institutional design. Traditionally, the study of economic systems was based on a dichotomy between market economies and planned economies, but contemporary studies compare and contrast a number of different systems, such as ownership structure (public, private or collective), economic coordination (planning, markets or mixed systems), management structure (hierarchy versus adhocracy), the incentive system, and the level of centralization in decision-making. An economy can be analyzed in terms of its economic sectors, the classic breakdown being into primary, secondary and tertiary.

Economic policy comprises the actions that governments take in the economic field. It covers the systems for setting interest rates and the government budget as well as the labor market regulations, national ownership, trade policy, monetary policy, fiscal policy, regulatory policy, anti-trust policy and industrial policy. In economics, sustainable development refers to development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

A business, also known as an enterprise or a firm, is an organization involved in the trade of goods, services, or both to consumers. Businesses are prevalent in capitalist economies, where most of them are privately owned and provide goods and services to customers in exchange of other goods, services, or money. Businesses may also be not-for-profit or state-owned. Management in business and organizations is the function that coordinates the efforts of people to accomplish goals and objectives using available resources efficiently and effectively. Management comprises planning, organizing, staffing, leading and directing, and controlling an organization or initiative to accomplish a goal. Management is also an academic discipline, and is traditionally taught at business schools.

Konangi

Konangi (கோணங்கி) (born 1 November 1956) is the pen name of the Tamil writer Ilangovan. He is the maternal grandson of the Tamil playwright, lyricist, writer and Freedom fighter Madurakavi Baskaradoss. His father is the Tamil writer Shanmugam and his mother is Saraswathi. His elder brother is the Tamil short-story writer Tamilselvan and his younger brother is Murugaboopathy a contemporary Tamil playwright. He grew up in Naagalapuram, bodinayakanur and Nenmeni Mettupatti and he currently lives in Kovilpatti, Tamil Nadu.

Described as the most important Tamil voice since Pudumaipithan, Konangi has published six short story collections and three novels. His works belongs to the less popular serious literature genre in Tamil which is mostly published in literary magazines and only occasionally in magazines and newspapers with wider circulation.

Konangi's first short story veechu (வீச்சு) was published in Thaamarai a Tamil magazine in 1980 and from then on he went to create some of the most original short stories in the Tamil language. His stories are characterised by very dense images, a tight narrative style with a vocabulary like no other bringing a ritualistic shade to the use of the Tamil language. His works often pushes and breaks the limits of fiction in Tamil literature by abandonment of the conventions of plot and character construction.

Konangi quit his job in March 1988 and started his own little magazine Kal Kudhirai in October 1988 in the Kalrayan Hills which continues to publish serious contemporary Tamil fiction, poetry, reviews and translations. Konangi's earlier short stories dealt with the issues of Alienation, effects of Urbanisation in villages leading to farmer suicides, Childhood memories, Rural tales and other metaphysical themes. He later experimented in fiction writing a wide range of genres including Surrealistic and Magical stories of dreamscapes. His previous novels Paazhi dealt with Jainism and Pidhiraa dealt with a wide range of subjects using the reference of the five ancient Sangam landscapes. His latest novel Tha was published in January 2013.

Despite receiving enormous acknowledgements for his literary outputs, Konangi stays away from the media.

பிதிரா
Pidhira was released in 2004 and is largely a novel that was less denser and more accessible than the earlier work paazhi. It had its sections based on the five Tamil sangam landscapes. The first part 'mullai' was written as a fiction based on the travels in Andhra Pradesh.

Tha (த)
Tha published in January 2013 (released in Dhanushkodi) is an enormous piece of imaginary work of lyrical prose which deals with the displacement of the north east Indians, Samaritans, Veenai Dhanammal,Tales from the Silappatikaram, The Music of His Master's Voice, Ancient Tamil music, Saraswathi Mahal Library, the Alipore Jail, the mythology of the Samaritans, the works of Socrates, the landscape of Nagapattinam, the mythological stories of Ravana, HMS Blake, Zen, Kalamkari paintings and other elements in a fictional universe called Tha.

The novel also contains allegories, folk tales, oral histories, ritual details, archetypes, fables, anecdotes, parables, tall tales, legends and ghost stories making it a diverse work.

Non fiction

 * காவேரியின் பூர்வ காதை
 * பாட்டியின் குரல் வளையை காப்பாற்றி வைத்திருக்கிறேன்(நேர்காணல்).

On novels
Opposed to other novels in literature, Konangi has his own conventions in all aspects of the building of a novel. His works are usually made up of fragments and it distorts the experience of its main characters, presenting events outside of chronological order and attempts to disrupt the idea of characters with unified and stable personalities. It also has the characteristics of lack of an obvious plot, minimal development of character, variations in time sequence, experiments with vocabulary and syntax, and alternative endings and beginnings. Due to these aspects his works are often thought to be incomprehensible and chaotic despite being implied the other way.

Trivia

 * Took his pen name from a poetry line by Subramanya Bharathi.
 * Wrote the introduction to பாழி at Sanchi, Vidisha, Ajanta and Ellora caves.
 * Fictionalized Mozart's funeral, the works of Paul Gauguin and Rembrandt  in short stories.
 * Cites Mouni, Na.Muthusamy (the short story called Vandi), poomani, Rajendra Chozhan and Vannanilavan as early influences.
 * Calls Nakulan as a major influence in the craft of novels. Has written an inventive short story about nakulan which was later translated into English.
 * An orator par excellence (mostly on Ex tempore) but rarely attends any public literary meetings.
 * Have acted in plays. Known plays include Japthi.
 * Can Paint. Was in earlier days a painter.
 * Never Married.

Comments on works include

 * Criticism on the overtly Baroque style.
 * A stylist with high sense of the visual.
 * Difficulties in plot summary.
 * Deliberately obscuring the plot using language.
 * Total abandonment of reason for imagination.
 * Like poetry, uses words and images which can mean several, often contradictory, things at once.
 * Dense weave of a language designed as much to shield the plot summary than to reveal them.
 * Usage of a lexicon of old and obscure Tamil words.
 * New readers who enter the Tamil literary landscape have often been made to believe about the works of Konangi as unapproachable, chaotic and incomprehensible by the general opinions of the media. Due to this some of Konangi's works (novels) often remain as a vast verbal labyrinth of extraordinary images waiting to be deciphered.

Quotes
Sayings quoted below appeared in magazines and from his own works and interviews.

 * You have to become a bird in order to understand a tree.
 * Art has no relation with conscious intelligence. It is inherently a fragile thing. Its origins are unknown and at its center are clouds of cold blackness. The aesthetic experience at its summit becomes invisible and disrupts the readers perseverance in understanding it. [See: The imminence of a revelation that does not occur.]
 * While my characters are highly instinctive, my stories take birth from the sub-conscious and often oscillate into the world of unconscious.
 * My stories are born out of blindness and not seeing too far ahead.
 * Sculpting has a direct relation with the evolution of the language of my later stories.
 * The traditional idea of Plot essentially limits the possibilities of all fiction.
 * Art is like the process of weaving.
 * In travel, like music the land of dreams appear out of nowhere and follows us.
 * Art has nothing to do with either wisdom or understanding. It doesn't have purpose nor intention. Its on its own.
 * Fictional landscapes resembles waterscapes in general and fiction is born at the moment, the fusion of two unknown creatures that lives inside it occurs.
 * Stories are living things and they have souls residing inside them.
 * Beauty when found is often accompanied with a feeling of sense of terror.
 * I’ve inherited a tradition where butterflies want to sing, elephants want to dance, alchemists, sorcerers and witches want to overwork, and the storyteller creates landscapes which have no association to any town, city or country, and is yet not alien.

Sir Cowasji Jehangir donated money for the institute's east wing. The construction of the west flank of the main building was paid for by Jacob Sassoon, and the east flank by Sir Currimbhoy Ebrahim, Bt. Vasanji Mulji donated funds for the library.

The foundation stone for the institute, designed by George Wittet, was laid in 1911. Completed in 1920, the building stands next to the Gothic structures of the Rajabai tower of University of Mumbai and the Elphinstone College.

Built in yellow Kharodi basalt stone from the district of Thane, this elegant, curving facades of the two wings, joined by the flat central dome of the Cowasji Jehangir Hall, manage to harmonize with the 19th century buildings surrounding it. Protected from the street by the many-arched facades are a botanical garden, herbarium and a park. The Institute of Science is awarded the status of "College with potential for Excellence" by the UGC in 2009 and awarded generous grants for infrastructure development.

On September 8, 2005, Patrick announced his retirement from the NHL at the age of 42. He was immediately named to the Sabres' staff as a skill development coach. However, he left the team before the season to play in Germany's Deutsche Eishockey Liga with the Frankfurt Lions.

Coaching career
Patrick joined the Buffalo Sabres as assistant coach in 2006. He made his debut as head coach in February 2012, when Lindy Ruff was incapable of coaching due to an injury. After Ruff was fired in February 2013, Patrick remained with the Sabres' coaching staff until the end of the season, and then was let go.

After the 2013 season he re-joined Ruff as an assistant coach with the Dallas Stars. At the end of the 2016–17 regular season, Patrick was let go when the Stars elected not to renew Ruff's expiring contract, after the team missed the playoffs.

On June 6, 2017, it was announced that Patrick was named as the head coach for the Kootenay Ice of the Western Hockey League (WHL).

On November 6, 2023, Patrick was named the next head coach of the Victoria Royals, following the dismissal of Dan Price.

Personal life
Patrick is half Ukrainian and half English. His father, Stephen (born as Stepan Patrebka), was the child of Ukrainian immigrants from the Lviv region, and played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League. Patrick is the brother of Steve and the uncle of former player Nolan Patrick.

In 2014, Patrick was charged with assault stemming from a domestic incident, while working as an assistant coach for the Dallas Stars.
