Haymarket Park

Hawks Field at Haymarket Park is a baseball stadium in the Haymarket District of Lincoln, Nebraska. It is less than a mile west of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (NU) and is the home venue of the school's baseball team and the Lincoln Saltdogs of the American Association of Professional Baseball. The thirty-two acre Haymarket Park complex, jointly financed by the city of Lincoln and NU, was completed in 2001 at a cost of $29.53 million ($ in dollars). Hawks Field is adjacent to the smaller Bowlin Stadium, which hosts Nebraska's softball team.

History
For over fifty years, Nebraska played its home games at Buck Beltzer Stadium, located just northeast of Memorial Stadium. By the 1990s, the stadium was out-of-date and lacked many of the amenities that had become typical of Division I college baseball stadiums. A new baseball and softball stadium project was announced on July 30, 1999, and unanimously approved by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents on April 1, 2000. The Omaha-based DLR Group was contracted as the principal designer for the complex. Then-NU head coach Dave Van Horn and representatives from the DLR Group toured stadiums throughout the region for inspiration in the design process; the prominent brick and open concourse of Haymarket Park can be seen at venues including Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City and Franklin Covey Field (now Smith's Ballpark) in Salt Lake City. The baseball portion of the facility was oriented such that downtown Lincoln, and especially Memorial Stadium, can be clearly viewed over the outfield walls.

Haymarket Park broke ground on April 12, 2000, just off U.S. Route 6 and Charleston Street west of downtown Lincoln. Construction was completed on June 1, 2001, making the stadium available to host Super Regional games during the 2001 NCAA Division I baseball tournament. However, NU elected to finish the season at Buck Beltzer Stadium, where the Cornhuskers swept Rice to advance to the program's first College World Series. Nebraska played its first game at Hawks Field on March 4 of the following year, a 23–1 victory over Nebraska–Kearney.

Hawks Field is named for Myrna Hawks, the wife of prominent Omaha businessman Howard Hawks; the couple were significant donors to the construction of the complex, but Myrna died before the stadium was complete. The Hawks Championship Center football practice facility is also named for the family. Hawks Field has a listed capacity of 8,486, including 4,419 seatback chairs and room for approximately 4,000 additional fans in the grass berms down the left and right field lines. NU ranked fourteenth nationally in total attendance in 2022 and regularly leads the Big Ten Conference in attendance. The highest recorded attendance at Hawks Field was on April 14, 2006, when an overflow crowd of 8,757 watched fourth-ranked Nebraska defeat Texas A&M 4–3.

The city of Lincoln, which maintains ownership of the land and buildings in the Haymarket Park complex, contributed $13.7 million to construction. The University of Nebraska–Lincoln and Lincoln Pro Baseball (LPB) each contributed approximately ten million dollars. NU and LPB signed a thirty-five year lease with no charged property tax or insurance fees and are jointly responsible for facility maintenance. Prior to the completion of Hawks Field, LPB facilitated the purchase of the Madison Black Wolf, a Northern League club from Madison, Wisconsin. The team was moved to Lincoln and renamed the Saltdogs, Lincoln's first professional baseball team in forty years. The Saltdogs played the first game at Hawks Field on June 1, 2001, a 7–6 victory over the Sioux City Explorers. Haymarket Park hosted the Northern League All-Star Game in 2003.

Nebraska's all-time record at Hawks Field is 388–148–1; the Saltdogs are 739–696. The stadium has hosted two NCAA Super Regionals and five NCAA Regionals.

Alex Gordon Training Complex
Nebraska constructed the $4.75 million Alex Gordon Training Complex in 2011, adjacent to Bowlin Stadium and just northeast of Hawks Field. The facility was named for former NU All-American and Major League Baseball All-Star Alex Gordon, who donated one million dollars to the project.

Playing surface
Hawks Field was the first collegiate venue to use the SubAir heating and cooling system to optimize field temperature year-round. The Kentucky bluegrass playing surface was named the collegiate "Field of the Year" in 2003 and 2007 by the Sports Field Management Association, making it the award's first two-time winner. The Saltdogs have won their league's "Playing Surface of the Year" in each season of competition (the Northern League from 2001 to 2005 and the American Association of Professional Baseball since).

Other events
Since its opening in 2001, Haymarket Park has served as one of the primary entertainment venues in Lincoln. Notable among those who have performed at the stadium are Willie Nelson (August 31, 2004), Bryan Adams and Def Leppard (August 2, 2005), John Mellencamp (August 8, 2010), and Bob Dylan (two occasions). The stadium has hosted hundreds of charity and fundraiser events, including an annual Relay for Life event sponsored by the American Cancer Society.

Empty calories

In human nutrition, empty calories are those calories found in foods and beverages (including alcohol) composed primarily or solely of calorie-rich macronutrients such as sugars and fats, but little or no micronutrients, fibre, or protein. Foods composed mostly of empty calories have low nutrient density, meaning few other nutrients relative to their energy content. Empty calories are more difficult to fit into a diet that is both balanced and within TDEE, and so readily create an unhealthy diet.

Research
The lack of complete nutrition found in high energy foods was first scientifically tested by French physiologist François Magendie, who experimented on dogs and described the process in his book Précis élémentaire de Physiologie. He demonstrated that the eating of nothing but sugar, olive oil, or butter could be the cause of the death of his test animals within 30 to 40 days.

Examples
The following foods are often considered   to contain mostly empty calories and commonly lead to body weight gain.
 * Sugar: such as cakes, cookies, sweets, candy, soft drinks, frozen desserts such as ice cream and milkshakes, fruit-flavored sweet beverages, and other foods containing mostly added sugars, including high-fructose corn syrup.
 * Fat: such as margarine, shortening, artificial trans fats, other fats, and oils and foods high in them such as potato chips and most other deep fried and processed foods and snack products.
 * Alcohol: such as beer, wine, spirits, and other alcoholic beverages. While moderate amounts can lead to body weight gain, chronic consumption of large amounts of alcohol can lead to body weight loss because alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is characterized by an increased metabolic rate and impaired muscle protein synthesis, resulting in sarcopenia.

Impact on other nutrients
A diet high in added sugar typically alters behavior to reduce consumption of foods that contain essential nutrients. One study reported that when there was increased consumption of added sugars, nutrients at most risk for deficiency were magnesium and vitamins A, C, E. Intake of these nutrients dropped with each 5% increase in added sugar intake.

A diet high in alcohol can have the same effect, although in this case the nutrients at particular risk of deficiency are zinc, vitamin D, thiamine, folate, cyanocobalamin, and selenium. People with ALD also develop sarcopenia, but it is not clear if this is due to chronic low protein intake or the disease, which is known to inhibit muscle protein synthesis.

Threshold for health impact
Typically, 90% of energy is expended simply to maintain current weight while idle, but in extremely active individuals physical exercise must be balanced with food intake to maintain healthy body weight. Sedentary individuals and those eating less to lose weight will be subject to malnutrition if they eat food primarily composed of empty calories. In contrast, people who engage in heavier physical activity need more food energy as fuel and can have a larger amount of calorie-rich, essential nutrient-poor foods. Dietitians and other healthcare professionals can prevent malnutrition by designing eating programs and recommending dietary modifications according to each patient's needs.

The USDA advises the following levels of empty calorie consumption as an upper limit for individuals who engage in 30 minutes or less of moderate exercise daily.

Zeng Liansong

Zeng Liansong (17 December 1917 – 19 October 1999) was a Chinese supply chain manager and a secret agent of the Chinese Communist Party. He was the designer of the National Flag of the People's Republic of China. He also served as the deputy manager of the Shanghai City Daily Necessities Company and a member of the CPPCC Shanghai Committee.

Early life and education
Zeng Liansong was born in Rui'an, Zhejiang. He studied at Rui'an County Primary School (now Rui'an City Experimental Primary School) and Rui'an High School in his youth.

In 1936, Zeng was admitted to the Department of Economics of the National Central University. He later joined the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Federation at the university and devoted himself to the Chinese Communist Revolution. He joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in May 1938, engaged in underground activities, and served as the secretary of the underground student party branch of the CCP at the National Central University.

Career
After his graduation in 1940, he served as an underground worker (secret agent) for the CCP. In 1949, he worked as a secretary at the Shanghai Modern Economic News Agency (上海现代经济通讯社), a secret economic news stronghold and intelligence agency led by the Shanghai Underground Party of the CCP (中国共产党上海地下党). In May 1949, the People's Liberation Army gained control of Shanghai. Having completed its historical mission, the Shanghai Modern Economic News Agency was disbanded. Soon after, Zeng Liansong saw the solicitation notice for the national flag of the People's Republic of China and devoted himself to the design work.

In mid-August 1949, Zeng Liansong submitted the pattern drawing to the preparatory meeting of the new Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). It depicted a field of Chinese red with four gold stars around a larger star in the canton. The larger star contained the hammer and sickle symbol of communism. Zeng's design was very similar to the design that the nation adopted, the only difference being the removal of the hammer and sickle symbol from the larger star.

After the Shanghai Modern Economic News Agency was disbanded, he worked at the Eastern China Supply and Marketing Cooperative Management Bureau (华东供销合作社事业管理局). In 1950, Zeng Liansong was invited to Tiananmen Square in Beijing to attend the first anniversary of the founding of New China and received a letter from the General Office of the Central People's Government Committee. The letter read: "Mr. Zeng Liansong: The national flag of the People's Republic of China designed by you has been adopted. We hereby present you with a commemorative volume of the People's Political Consultative Conference and RMB 5 million to be sent through the post office and the People's Bank of China respectively as a reward for your contribution to the country, and we express our deep respect."

During the Anti-Rightist Campaign in 1957, Zeng Liansong was put on the "blacklist" because he copied a quote from Vladimir Lenin on his teacup: "Speak less nice words and do more practical things." During the Cultural Revolution, he was labeled a "traitor" and a "filial son and grandson of the landlords and bourgeoisie." He was put on struggle sessions and his house was confiscated, and he was later sent to the "May 7th Cadre School" for labor reform.

After the Cultural Revolution, Zeng Liansong worked as the deputy manager of the Shanghai City Daily Necessities Company. He also served as a member of the 5th session of the CPPCC Shanghai Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the 6th session of the CPPCC Shanghai Committee.

Zeng Liansong retired in 1983. He authored books including "A Summary of the Development History of Ceramics" and "Knowledge of Daily Necessities," as well as some poems. He once wrote in a poem: "A foolish man who has gained it will offer his motherland, and the sea of five-star flags will be magnificent to the mountains and rivers."

On 19 October 1999, Zeng Liansong died at the Shanghai Municipal First People's Hospital. He was 82 years old.

Communist Party membership
Zeng Liansong joined the CCP when he was in college at the National Central University in May 1938. However, due to the White Terror created by the Kuomintang in February 1940, Zeng Liansong received an emergency transfer notice and left Chongqing in a hurry without completing the transfer procedures of his party membership organizational relations. As a result, he lost his membership in the CCP.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zeng began reapplying to join the party. In 36 years, he filed five party membership requests. On 1 October 1979, the 30th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zeng Liansong was once again invited to Beijing to participate in National Day activities. He continued to reapply after he retired in 1983. In November 1985, the 68-year-old Zeng was finally approved to rejoin the CCP. As a special case, he did not need a preparatory period before becoming a formal member. By this time, he had suffered a second stroke and struggled to walk.

Early Russia rulers
I think we'd better not. Your data about Oda is stale and is pure guesswork based on Karamzin who wrote 200 years ago, without reading the original sources. Although such delusions still proliferate in the amateur Web sites, I'm not going to replicate them here. It is not a matter which "story" is correct, as Oda is mentioned only once in the Stade annals and only one interpretation of her ancestry is possible. I already wrote Family life and children of Vladimir I to put an end to some of the guesswork associated with his wives and children. I have neither time nor desire to do the same for every Russian ruler. Let only the correct information be present in the article. Besides this project is an encyclopedia not a genealogical monography. As for rulers of Tver, don't worry about them: I will do articles on all of them when I have enough time. Ivan I and Simeon I are also to be expanded. Don't worry, I shall fill in these voids myself. --Ghirla -трёп- 06:24, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

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 Douglasfrankfort. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Douglasfrankfort~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.

Tasmanian Devil (DC Comics)

The Tasmanian Devil (Hugh Dawkins) is a fictional superhero appearing in DC Comics. A pacifist Australian metahuman able to turn into a giant aggressive Tasmanian Devil (as a werewolf would become a wolf), he first appeared in Super Friends #7 (October 1977), with his first canonical DC Universe appearance being in Infinity, Inc. #32 (November 1986). In Justice League Quarterly #8 (September 1992), he is revealed to be gay.

He is unrelated to the Looney Tunes character (who would make his DC Universe debut in 2017), although both characters are owned by divisions of WarnerMedia.

Fictional character biography
Hugh Dawkins is a metahuman born with the ability to turn into a giant and intelligent Tasmanian Devil, with a transformation similar to one of a werewolf. An alternate origin has jokingly been offered, suggesting that Hugh's mother was a were-Tasmanian Devil who raised him in a Tasmanian Devil's cult, which gave him a Tasmanian Devil amulet after selling his soul to a Tasmanian Devil and injecting him with a radioactive Tasmanian Devil's musk from a race of alien Tasmanian Devils which gave him his powers. While Hugh is a pacifist, his alter ego is aggressive and bestial. His parents had a hard time dealing with him until he saved his father's life.

He works as a superhero in Tasmania until a man named Doctor Mist asked him to join the Global Guardians. Through the comics, he fought alongside the team and other heroes. In one incident, he teamed up with Infinity Inc. This fight soon became a failure when Taz and Wildcat were forced to help Hazard gain revenge on a casino. Later, the Guardians' base was destroyed and the team disbanded.

League and Guardians
Dawkins helped to rebuild the Justice League's Embassy which had been destroyed during an alien invasion. His connection to the Justice League caused his rejection by the Queen Bee, ruler of Bialya, who is reforming the Guardians. Her efforts seemed beneficial but are for her own selfish gain, as she was using brainwashing techniques to control the Guardians. This affected the Devil, as his close friend Tuatara fall into a coma after destroying a neo-Nazi compound and attacking the League. Later, Tuatara received care by an Australian medical facility.

When Dawkins and his friend Joshua Barbazon were preparing the Justice League's Australian embassy their plans included transferring Tuatara to the medical lab as soon as its completed. The Queen Bee recalled Tuatara before this could happen. Dawkins was infuriated by these circumstances, which he didn't fully understand.

Dawkins would be there when Tuatara recovers his mind. Called up in a League's efforts to stop an international incident, Dawkins and many other League members traveled to Bialya. It turns out that Captain Atom, Elongated Man, Ice, and Blue Beetle had been fired by Ambassador Heimlich, a Queen Bee's mole placed into the UN power. They had illegally invaded Bialya to investigate.

The backup team enters, with the permission of Queen Bee, just in time to be caught in a devastating explosion, which destroyed an entire city block. The League and many innocent people were saved by a shield created by Ice, but many others were not so lucky. Dawkin's former friends recovered their minds, and the Bee's massive brainwashing efforts are uncovered. He also learns that Doctor Mist was a robot, Jack O'Lantern is dead but an impostor, and Owlwoman is missing. It was said that Little Mermaid is also missing, although both sides in the conflict had seen her die from a misfired shot by Lantern. Queen Bee, the one that has caused so much problems is deposed and slain by Sumaan Harjavti, the brother of the man the Queen had slain and deposed.

Dawkins and the League help with relief and recovery efforts. After this he would return to Australia, but he rejoins a team of Guardians to rescue those still endangered by the secret machinations of Harjavti. The entire group is endangered as those left behind had been implanted with subliminal orders to kill. Fortunately, nobody is actually harmed and the Guardians are reformed again. Taz assists with clean up efforts after Coast City is obliterated.

He rejoins Justice League International after aiding them against the villain Sonar. He is present for the funeral of fellow Leaguer Ice. He becomes indirectly involved in another recruitment effort but it doesn't work out.

It is also revealed that Hugh is openly gay in Justice League Quarterly #8 (September 1992). He has previously been romantically interested in JLA liaison Joshua Barbazon, had a crush on Hal Jordan and is dating Starman, Mikaal Thomas.

Bloodlines
Later, Dawkins works with the Justice League during the Bloodlines event. He teams up, mainly with Elongated Man and Metamorpho to stop a group of murderous aliens terrorizing London. The other adult female team members, Power Girl and Doctor Light, are unavailable to assist due to previous commitments. The men are not very successful as dozens of citizens vanish or are killed. The toll, which includes a missing school bus, deeply affects all three. During one investigation, they are attacked by the rookie armored hero Lionheart, who mistakes Taz's unusual form (and the changing forms of his friends) for the eyewitness reports of the aliens.

The aliens attack the League's headquarters, a (seemingly haunted) castle. Summoned by the energy flares of their youngest member, Maya, the group returns and fights the creatures. Lionheart, though his secondary mission is to discredit the League, sees the nobility in Taz and the others and helps them chase off the aliens. No pursuit is possible, as all are injured; Taz himself has been impaled through the shoulder. Lionheart, before fainting from his injuries, summons medical help through an emergency Justice League communications channel. Taz recovers in time to help his JLE teammates and dozens of other heroes defeat the Bloodlines aliens. The aliens are destroyed in a swamp outside of Metropolis in America.

Funerals and Risk
Around this time, Dawkins goes on a JLI goodwill tour to New Zealand. They resist him at first. He and his contact, Raylene Mackenzie, stumble upon the villain Phobia and Tas literally sniffs out one of her recent murders. The two get into a back-and-forth fight with the fear-casting killer. Raylene confronts a fear of drowning, while Tas' hallucination concerns the abusive treatment his mother heaped upon his father. Working together, the two defeat Phobia. Tas' efforts to save a New Zealander endears him to the entire country.

Dawkins later assists the Justice League in battling Overmaster. There, the team loses Ice. The group falls apart, and Dawkins soon leaves too, not wanting to stay in a group so small and unestablished. He does not see the point.

Tas is one of the mourners at the funeral for Maxwell Lord. After some time missing, he is shown attending the funeral of Sue Dibny, wife of the Elongated Man.

He joins the Ultramarine Corps and lives for a time on their floating city of Superbia. When the entire city is conquered by Gorilla Grodd and his forces, Tas and the other surviving heroes are sent to cause destruction. His mind and the Corps are rescued by the Justice League. Soon after, he takes part in the Corps' mission into the infant universe sometimes known as Nebula Man. Their efforts later allow the villain to be destroyed.

Tas helps out in the OMAC Crisis. He is one of many superheroes who go to the Sahara as bait for the legions of meta-human killing machines. This scheme works, and many OMACs are destroyed without harming the hosts within.

After the events of Infinite Crisis, Tas is shown at a memorial service/headcount. During the 52 maxi-series, Tas and other powered beings, including Gloss and Manticore, face a rage-maddened Black Adam in Sydney, Australia. They are shown unconscious and buried in debris.

Later, Tas once again rejoins the Global Guardians.

In Detective Comics #852 (2008), Tas makes a brief appearance fighting hostile gunmen on the streets of Australia.

Death and return
In the 2009 mini-series Justice League: Cry for Justice, it is revealed that Tas was skinned, and his pelt was made into a rug by the villain Prometheus.

In the 2011 Starman/Congorilla one-shot, it is revealed that Prometheus had his body put into a stasis pod. He was fully healed and awakened after a citizen of Gorilla City named Malavar placed his comatose body in a Lazarus Pit. He rises from the Pit just in time to help Starman, Congorilla, Malavar and Animal Man fight a group of enemies, and then returns to Australia to tell his mother that he is still alive.

Following his resurrection, Tas appears as a member of the Justice League's reserve roster during the battle against Eclipso's shadow army.

The New 52 and DC Rebirth
In Midnighter and Apollo it is implied that he is not only resurrected, but married to Gregorio de la Vega, who refers to his husband as a therianthrope and named Hugh. This is confirmed in the DC Pride anthology, in which Hawkins debuts as part of the Justice League Queer, which is brought together by his husband to defeat Eclipso.

In the Watchmen sequel Doomsday Clock, Tasmanian Devil is listed as a member of the Australian superhero team called the Sleeping Soldiers.

Powers and abilities
Hugh Dawkins can turn into a large Tasmanian devil. In this form, he possesses super strength, savage claws, advanced healing, razor sharp fangs and the ability to grow larger in size.

Jerzy Jazłowiecki

Jerzy Jazłowiecki (1510–1575) was a Polish nobleman (szlachcic) and magnate. Great Crown Hetman 1569–1575, Field Crown Hetman in 1569. Jerzy was voivode of the Podole Voivodeship since 1567, of the Ruthenian Voivodeship since 1569, and castellan of Kamieniec Podolski since 1564 as well.

Surname is derived from its feudal possession - city of Yazlovets (now village in Chortkiv Raion, Ternopil region, Ukraine).

In 1564 as royal emissary he was sent to Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. During the interregnum in 1573 he was a proposed candidate of the so-called "Piast party" in the election for the Polish throne. In the late 1550s he converted to Calvinism and became an ardent supporter of the Polish Reformed Church.

California College Republicans
Delete. Advertising and vanity. There's nothing here but their constitution and some vanity pics. We should have College Republicans and College Democrats articles, of course, but do we really need one for each state? What does this tell us that makes it different from, say, Rhode Island College Republicans? Gamaliel 04:56, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. This article neither forcefully promotes the club in an advertising capacity, nor would it qualify under the claim of vanity (the definition of which being: excessive pride in one's appearance or accomplishment). This page neither brags nor boasts of CCR's accomplishments, nor offers ANY side of opinions, therefore unbiased. CCR is an important faces of College Republicans that played an important role in the most recent CRNC election process, the main contender for the Chair position of which being from our state, and CCR's past Chairman (Michael Davidson). The pictures posted could only be misconstrued as vain if Frank Sinatra's mug shot could be considered a photo shoot. Portraits are an efficient way to illustrate the organization's leadership, just like Howard Dean's page shows, as does George W. Bush's page does. California College Republicans is a state federation that is on the forefront of the College Republican national organization; as is such, and what with the dealings of CCR's in the national College Republican playing feild, the California College Republican wiki-site has total justification for its existence.

Asx, are you still working on this? It would be nice to see some line breaks in the lyrics. I'd modify it, but it looks like you're still actively editing. Reediewes 04:52, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi there. Yep, still working on it, but I gotta go to bed in a minute. I'm having trouble getting the line breaks in the right spots, trying a variety of things with little luck. How about you take over? I can see how you do the line breaks. . . -asx- 05:00, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
 * There, it's done. I used : to indent every line (making the spoken paragraphs all one line). I added italics, but they wouldn't carry over from line to line, so there's a separate pair of apostrophes for every single line. There's probably a better way to do what I did, but I'm not very experienced in wiki syntax. Until someone better comes along and changes it, that's how it is.

Talk:Resource management

Comment
This article completely misses one whole area associated with "resource management" (it probably misses others as well) - that to do with land or natural resources - which I thought it would discuss, based as it was on a link coming from an article on Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
 * The author of this article is not talking about environmental or ecological resource management. He/she is talking about the techniques used in business to manage a firm's resources (including inventory, financial, and human resources). It should be moved to Resource management (business). mydogategodshat 06:34, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree with the potential move, especially since there is a complementary natural resource management article, which is somewhat different from land management or environmental management or fisheries management or forest management.  All of these are ultimately concerned with resources and their management.  A Resource Management lead article might offer a very general introduction and provide links to all of these (and maybe more).  What is the process for moving an article?  Eliezg 21:03, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

"See also" section is added
For the time being, only one entry is appended

kindly prvoide material on resource management

Asset management
Specifically for IT resources (such as computers, network equipment, storage equipment, and connections), the term resource managment is often applied, but also often the term asset management. What exactly is their relationship, or are they the same? Note: if you look up asset management, you end up at investments, so asset management does not seem to be defined for IT resources yet. Can we define it here (if it is strongly related to resource management), or do we need create a new topic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.148.214.178 (talk) 17:29, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Utilization
"The goal is 100% utlization" is not appropriate everywhere or for all resources. "Utilization" is the opposite of "Avaiability". For example, when all the ticketing agents are busy, that is 100% utilization, but when you're standing in line as a consumer, you would prefer one agent to be under-utilized, waiting for you, and therefore available to you.

If you don't have availability, you don't have reserve capacity for changes in demand, problem solving, absences, and so on. I would restate the goal of Resource Management to be optimizing productivity AND effectiveness, they are usually a trade off. Which is why most companies set a goal closer to 80% as a target for utilization. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Karlbmiles (talk • contribs) 17:21, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Istana Negara (Jakarta)

Istana Negara (English: State Palace, Paleis te Rijswijk) is one of the six presidential palaces of Indonesia. It is located on Veteran Street in Central Jakarta, with Merdeka Palace located south. It is part of the presidential palace compound which has a total area of 68,000 m², along with three other buildings: Bina Graha which was formerly used as the President's Office, Wisma Negara on the western side which is used as the state guest house, and the office for the Ministry of State Secretariat of Indonesia. Istana Negara faces north towards the aforementioned street, while the Merdeka Palace faces Merdeka Square and the National Monument (Monas).

The beginning
Construction of the building started in 1796. It was built by Jacob Andries van Braam, a Dutchman who between 1810 and 1819 held several high positions in government, to be made his residence. It was an elegant two-floored building designed in the Indies Empire style, a popular style of architecture during the late 18th century. The building was built in the neighborhood of Rijswijk-Molenvliet (present Harmoni), which was among the most exclusive neighborhood in Batavia's Bovenstad ("uptown") at that time. The building was built during the tenure of Governor General Pieter Gerardus van Overstraten, shortly after the completion of another lavish residence which later would become Hotel der Nederlanden. Construction took several years, and the building was finally completed in 1804.

The English period
Upon the completion of the building, the building was handed over to Hugh Hope, the British commissioner when the country was under British rule. Van Braam lived in a smaller wing to the south of the building throughout his life.

Residence of the governor-general
After the death of J.A. van Braam, the house was brought over by the Dutch government in 1816. The government used this building as the center of all administration and as the official residence of the governor-general during a stay in Batavia. The much larger building that was intended by Daendels to become the official residence of the governor-general of the Dutch Indies in Waterlooplein was delayed, and so it was never used as a residence for the governor-general, even after its completion in 1828. As the official residence of the governor-general, van Braam's residence was officially named Hotel van den Gouverneur-Generaal (Hotel of the Governor-General).

Important occasions such as formal ceremonies or the Indies Council Meeting every Wednesday were held in the palace. Godert van der Capellen became the first governor-general to officially reside in the palace in 1820. However, Bogor Palace (Paleis te Buitenzorg) in Bogor (Buitenzorg) became the main residence, as most of the governor-generals preferred the temperate climate in the hillsides of Bogor.

In 1848, the first floor of the building was removed and the room which faced the Koningsplein was redesigned to be more open to the exterior.

Expansion: Istana Merdeka
Later the palace became too cramped with increasing administrative needs, and thus a new palace was planned in 1869. The new palace was completed in 1873 facing Koningsplein (King's Square) and it would be known as Koningsplein Palace. Together the palace would form the governor-general's palace compound in Rijswijk.

In 1875, the complex was equipped with new iron fencing. Additional houses were built to accommodate the officials of the palace.

Japanese occupation
In 1942, the Japanese successfully invaded the Dutch East Indies. Governor-General Tjarda Van Starkenborch signed a capitulation to the Japanese army in the palace on 8 March 1942. Under the Japanese, the palace became the residence of the Saiko Shikikan (army commander) until the Japanese surrender in 1945. After the independence, the lion emblem of the Netherlands on the front facade of the building was removed.

Since its existence, many important events have taken place in this building. Some of these include the declaration of the cultuur stelsel system by the Governor-General Graaf van den Bosch, the ratification ceremony of the Linggadjati Agreement on 25 March 1947, and the recognition of Indonesia's independence on 27 December 1949.

Role of the palace and features
The architecture of the Merdeka Palace was done in a style known as the Indies Empire style, a popular style of architecture in the early 19th-century Batavia. During the early days, the 3.375 m2 building had two stories. In 1848, the upper floor was partly demolished, and the lower expanded to accommodate more individuals, and thus present a more formal portrayal. The palace mainly functions as the main venue for stately ceremonial activities such as appointments of ministers, conference and national meeting opening ceremonies, the opening of international and national congresses, national banquets, and cultural performances. It also serves as an administrative office for the Head of state.

The front part of the palace contains the main reception hall, which is used mainly for gifts of state exchanges and is located next to the banquet hall. Other chambers in the palace consist of a front room, a living room, a suite for the vice president, a guest waiting room, and the president's office. The palace consists of two main audience halls named Ruang Upacara and Ruang Jamuan, each connected with a corridor decorated with various paintings. During the colonial era, Ruang Upacara (Ceremonial Hall) was formerly a ballroom. As its name states, the room is used for formal ceremonial events in the palace. In the room, there are Javanese and Balinese Gamelan sets used for cultural performance purposes and a podium. The Ruang Jamuan (Banquet Hall) is used to provide hospitality and repasts to state guests within the palace. It has a capacity of 150 people and is decorated with a painting of Ratu Kidul by Basoeki Abdullah.

Either handle as a copyvio, if that's what we think it is, or put this back on Pages needing translation into English where it might get usefully handled.
