Talk:S.Pellegrino

Uranium content and editing Info Box
The uranium content of San Pellegrino seems higher than any other major brand available in the US (e.g., Apollinaris, Evian, Perrier). This should be included in the info box, which seems to be uneditable. Why? Also note that uranium content is in micrograms, and that the milligrams content in the info box isn't present. Again, why?

Dstlascaux (talk) 04:52, 15 May 2011 (UTC) Uranium content is not noted because Nestle has ran around the world and bought every spring. Then Nestle in every country these springs are located at, has past laws to make ownership of private springs impossible, corpate springs impossible and any free springs become parks unable to ever become commeral. Next Nestle has gone so far as to shut down spring wells. Seattle is a good excample of this... there is only one left in the total city. They Screw the Union workers saying there some form of compitition but they own every major brand. Nestle knows their water has gamma radiation in it. They just wont tell you about it. Try to take it to court, it only cost a small fee to file a suet. Just have sample after sample. All you have to do is wave around Uranium and the jury will panic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.30.134.216 (talk) 02:12, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Trace Minerals
Trace minerals are getting more and more attention for their health benefits. Is there any data on the trace minerals present in San Peligrino water? These would be lower than the 100 microgram level covered in the article.

Is it Chlorinated by Man or is the Chlorine mentioned naturally Occuring?
Chlorinated is layman for sticking bleach salts into a water body... water is not bleached. Chlorine the element is a gas and deadly...so no there is no chlorine gas.

What they mean by chlorine as a mineral is salts in the water per volume. Salts are anything the Chlorine can bond with, which is almost anything that the Cl- can connect with. HCl is a type of acid as well.

However in this case they mean this  pH 7.7 Calcium (Ca) 181.0 Chloride (Cl−) 57.5              + Sodium (Na) 36.1  = NaCl 36.1 of table salts

Bicarbonate (HCO3) 239.0 Fluoride (Fl) 0.5 Lithium (Li) 0.2   + Cl   LiCl = 0.2 Magnesium (Mg) 53.5 Nitrate (NO3) 2.2 Potassium (K) 2.5 + KCl = 2.5 Silica (SiO2) 7.5 Sodium (Na) 36.1 Strontium (Sr2) 3.2 Sulfates (SO) 459.0

So on and so forth but not all combine so nicely. The Cl- is the key.

If you noticed the Sulfates... well normal SO is very rare in nature besides at Key locations... at those locating you also get Uranium sulfate (U(SO4)2) is a water soluble salt of uranium. It is a very toxic compound and should not be ingested.

Cost
San Pellegrino is not cheap but this cannot be correct: "Currently, (2005), a bottle of San Pellegrino is sold for around $10 in New York.". I used to buy a carton of twelve 1 litre bottles for about $22 in Australia. --Sleepyhead 08:58, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi, $22 AUD in GBP is about £9. $10 for one bottle sold in New York is equal to about $13 AUD. Judging by what you are saying, $22 ÷ 12 [bottles] is equal to $2 AUD per bottle. Hence, $2 AUD into United States Dollar is equal to about $2 (USD). Which seems you are correct. But according to the following website:---Requires FLASH--- It claims otherwise! To get proof; click the "history" tab next to "Geological Origin". Then keep clicking right till the end of the time line until you get to 2003. Here it explains that it costs $10 and 65'000 are sold everyday. Thanks, 17:01, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

 * That's 10 dollars at a restaurant. I haven't been to New York but I would assume a trendy restaurant would charge a hefty premium price on everything including San Pellegrino. --Sleepyhead 07:48, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * And which is also stated in the Wikipedia article :) I thought it was meant to be the retail price. Never mind then. --Sleepyhead 07:50, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

 * As for Cost, a typical 750ml bottle (typical wine size bottle) sells for $1.79 (USD) at BevMo (Beverages and More)on the west coast. High end restaurants typically have a 150% - 300% mark-up or more.

 * I've seen it at Trader Joe's for $1.50. Just as cheap as Europe. 128.226.220.125 06:18, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

 * In Canada it goes from about $1.99 in regular grocery stores to about $1.45 in discount grocery stores. Not what I'd call expensive. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.51.125.161 (talk) 00:47, 15 December 2006 (UTC).

Clean-up
I have cleaned up the article, but I don't know where San Pellegrino is shipped to. I put the continents where I definitely know they are shipped to. But the time line says it is posted to Africa, Middle East and the Far East. I do not know if they continue to ship it there - add in the continents Africa, Middle East and the Far East if this is still. Thanks, 11:52, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Varieties
I added some varieties (Aranciata, Limonata and Chino), if anyone knows of any others that would be great - this is all I know of so far - AKeen 08:18, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Wow. Someone at Pellegrino should just use this entire entry as an ad for their product. Pure flavor? That's pretty kind to something that tastes like someone took a piss in a club soda. Now I'm not saying that my opinion ('piss club soda') should be added in as counter-balance, but ludicrous statements about the purity of its taste belong in an ad campaign, not an encyclopedic entry. 204.69.40.7 18:08, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

You are too big of a retard to understand the finer things in life. Chill the water in a frig then drink it from a glass. You can also fill the glass full of ice and drink it but not shake or agitate the water. Loss of the gas will happen and it takes away from the flavor.

You might have pure well water to drink. Most people on the earth do not have that anymore. Something in this spring water, some trace mineral is needed by many people that live in Citys. I could be the sulfur, it could be an isotope, whatever it is we crave the crap even though it's cost. They make 6 billion a year on this water. I do not drink it to show off. I get sick and weak if i do not. I've tried for years to figure out another source of these trace minerals and the only thing that comes close is this... Liqumins Concentrace Trace Mineral drops. However, it taste like shit.

Remove sentences?
I don't understand the part that begins with "The surrounding area is highly favorable for the formation...". Someone who knows more about geology might be better suited to rewriting that. Or we could just remove it. Ksero 20:33, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

 * In Italy we drink only bottled water for no reason, and sometimes we buy glass instead of plastic bottles. The plastic under the cap makes it easier to open the bottle for the first time. Then you usually remove it, otherwise you'll have difficulty trying to close it again. --Simo94 / discuss 20:33, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Sparkling Fruit Beverages = NOT San Pellegrino mineral water?
Could someone please find and post a good, sourced, non-paid-ad article stating for a fact that the flavoured sodas truly are actually made from SP mineral water? Found blogs that state they are now made in the USA, and the cans only state "water" in the ingredients list, and not specifically SP MINERAL WATER. The words mineral water do not appear anywhere on the can. The official site only makes a big deal of the concentrated fruit juice % content. Thanks. Bloodoranges (talk) 00:22, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Name of the article
Hello everyone,

Me and User:SuspiciousMind are writing our master thesis about S.Pellegrino and its history. We would like to propose to edit the title of the article, because it is actually not correct. As we wrote in the introduction to the article, there's a difference between the company Sanpellegrino S.p.A. (https://www.sanpellegrino-corporate.it/it/) (https://www.inabottle.it/it/news/il-gruppo-sanpellegrino-torna-crescere), the water S.Pellegrino (http://www.cba-design.it/what-we-do/sanpellegrino-special-edition-us-2014) and the town San Pellegrino Terme (http://www.sanpellegrinoterme.gov.it/en/), in which the water is bottled.

If you check the website of the business register of the Italian Chambers of Commerce and you type Sanpellegrino, you can see that it is the name of the company. Here is the link: http://www.registroimprese.it/en/web/guest/ricerca-libera-e-acquisto?p_auth=LnUJ8wU5&p_p_id=ricercaportlet_WAR_ricercaRIportlet&p_p_lifecycle=1&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&p_p_col_id=_118_INSTANCE_RFFNWcAY6O59__column-2&p_p_col_count=1&_ricercaportlet_WAR_ricercaRIportlet_javax.portlet.action=ricercaInit

According to the above sources, we ask you if you agree to change the name of the article from San Pellegrino to S.Pellegrino. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martarossi01 (talk • contribs) 17:22, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Grave accent

Uses in Latin
I have noted a grave accent used in a copy of Newton's Principia at the end of words. Exempli gratia, "perpetuo," with the accent on the final "o." I hypothosize that it is used to distinguish an adverb from an alternate form, but I would like to know its use with greater rigor. Should this be added to the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.215.144.197 (talk) 15:40, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know much about it, but for some basic information check the section Diacritics in New Latin. — Eru·tuon 05:24, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Error or dialectical difference? (French)
"The grave accent on the letters a and u has no effect on pronunciation and only serves to distinguish homonyms that are otherwise spelled the same. It distinguishes the preposition à "to" and the verb a (third person singular present tense of avoir), as well as the adverb là "there" and the feminine definite article la;"

As a native French speaker I can say both are false; "a" the verb form is pronounce like the English "a" indefinate pronoun, while "à" is, well, sharper sounding (I can't describe the difference in linguistic terms, but I am saying both now and they are definately not the same, with "à" my mouth moves more to a smiling position while with "a" it remains rounder). The opposite is true with la/là, where "la" sounds like "à" and "là" sounds, for lack of an exact English comparaison, like a short O in German (like in "Loch", hole).

But my French is Québecois French, and it is possible that in European French these sounds coincide. I can imitate the Euro accent but I don't like it and so I tend to exaggerate it, and in that case the sounds do coincide - but as said I am not a reliable source for that, I don't know that that's proper. I've never payed attention to this detail upon listening to European French speakers. So which is it - a European peculiarity or an oversight of the editor?

Changes to the paragraph on Portuguese
I want to make some changes to the paragraph on Portuguese. The previous version had some inaccuracies, namely stating that the grave accent does not change pronunciation (it does in European Portuguese) and using the Portuguese word "crase" instead of the correct English term "crasis". I am going to create a new stub for "crasis" as well, but I do not know how to delete the "crase" page. Could someone help me with that? Since there are no other comments in this discussion page, I think I will go ahead with the edit. - S.V., 15 Nov 2005.

Good article review

 * Well-written
 * To my totally non-specialist eyes, a decent chunk of the article is pretty much unreadable. The first paragraph in usage for instance, I couldn't make head nor tail of, there wasn't even an obvious link to click to find out more - I recommend putting some notes in parenthesis to help the read along. While the lead section needs to be expanded, the rest follows a nice, logical order. There seemed to be no obvious grammatical, punctuation or spelling errors.

 * Factuially accurate
 * This is where it totally flops. No references whatsoever. It looks plausable but how do I know if it isn't referenced?

 * Broad
 * Yes, it seems to cover everything, if a little scantly. I'd like to see those one-sentence paragraphs exapanded to three or four sentences.

 * Neutrality
 * The article seems to simply be a recital of facts, hence is neutral.

 * Stability
 * In the last fortnight, only a few paragraphs have been rewritten. Looking good on this count.

 * Images
 * No images whatsoever in the article, but images aren't really necessary.

Summary:
 * Well-written: Fail
 * Factually accurate: Fail
 * Broad: Pass  (just)
 * Neutrally written: Pass
 * Stable: Pass
 * Images: Pass

In all, this article is not ready for good article status at this time. Please do improve and re-nominate it in the future! --Cel es tianpower háblame 12:21, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like?
Since this is the English Wikipedia, could we get some examples of what vowels with grave accents sound like? For example, you could say ù sounds like the "u" in "bucket." If that's even right...like I said, it's not clear which sound goes with which character. indil 08:06, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Diacritics are all very rare in English. The best summary from en.wikipedia is in this poorly titled article section: here. The most important diacritics are the diaresis and grave accent. Each of those two indicates a letter is not "silent". No diacritics change a letter's sound except by either giving it any sound at all (e.g. a diaresis) or by shifting the stress of a word to the indicated vowel's syllable (e.g. an accent mark). Note that English readers may not distinguish between grave and acute accent marks, which only appear in poetry (mostly older poetry) or in foreign loanwords. One other convention, common but not universal in English, is to use a macron to represent long vowels and a breve to represent short vowels. This practice is only used in pronunciation instructions (e.g. in a dictionary). Ventifact (talk) 05:41, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Backquote
I think the #Computer_related section can be moved to `|[`] or backquote, which are for the moment (wrong) redirects to this page. -- Jokes Free4Me 14:38, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I did this now. Try it out. It's on backtick as that was the most-linked term. The characters certainly are not equal, in modern use the character you get when you type that key on the keyboard has absolutely nothing to do with grave accents.Spitzak (talk) 22:12, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

from the greek
Wouldn't gravis have to be a transliteration, not translation, of the Greek barys? (Not to mention the closest any of my dictionaries come is saying it's "akin" to the Greek, not actually derived from it...) --Severinus 05:17, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Um, no. Transliteration is changing a word from one writing system to another; barys is a transliteration of the Greek βαρύς. 62.136.55.173 18:50, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Right, barys is a transliteration of βαρύς. What I meant to ask was if gravis wasn't also something like a transliteration—or anything other than a translation—of βαρύς.  (Perhaps a calque was more what I was thinking.)  Because  "translation of" seemed to be expressing something other than derivation (otherwise why not use "derived from"?), and moreover the notion of gravis being a translation didn't make much sense to me.  The implication of saying it's a translation is either that the notion of a heavy accent didn't exist in Latin until the Greek βαρύς was introduced (thus the Latin name for it was a translation of the Greek), or that gravis didn't exist in Latin with this meaning of "heavy" until it was used to translate βαρύς.  Neither of which makes much sense.  After looking around a bit on my own, gravis seems to've existed meaning "heavy" completely independently of the Greek βαρύς, and so it's hard to understand the point of mentioning the Greek word here at all, except to say that they're similar or equivalent, which adds little (and is completely different from what the article currently says).  The implication of derivation simply doesn't hold, as both appear to be derived from independent PIE roots which existed in both languages:
 * bar - From Gk. baros "weight," cf. Skt guru, L. gravis; PIE *gwere- "heavy;" cf. Pers. bâr "weight," gerân "heavy," L. brutus "heavy, dull, stupid, brutish," Skt. bhara- "burden, load," bharati "he carries;" PIE *bher- "carry, give birth."
 * It is from this full grade *gwreh2u- that gravis must be derived. *gwreh2u- became an -i- stem in Latin, as did all -u- stem adjectives so that *gwravis ...
 * Moreover, looking at various dictionaries, most don't list the Greek, and those that do simply say it's "akin" to the Latin. So unless someone has some reason for linking the Latin and the Greek, I plan to remove latter, as it adds nothing but a false etymological implication. - Severinus 20:39, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Page Move
This page should not have been moved to include the accent (which, as far as I can tell, is just `). Somebody needs to move it back. —Gordon P. Hemsley→ ✉ 23:52, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Grave Consonants
In phonetics there seems to be a use of the terms 'grave' and 'acute' to distinguish certain kinds of consonants. So, labials are called grave and dentals acute. I find this terminology confusing and turned to Wikipedia for an explanation of it, but there is none. Could it be added here, or could this article link to an article that explained i? Tibetologist 00:03, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Why no separate articles?
Why are there articles for é, á etc but not for the grave characters? IMHO, separate articles are a good idea, as you can have extremely precise information about the usage of each individual character, like exactly which languages it is used in. Any takers for a split to separate articles? Stevage 04:28, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

"È is rarely used to distinguish homonyms, except in dès/des ("since/some") and ès/es ("in/is")." I don't know much French, but I know that es does not translate specifically to "is," because it is the conjugation of être (to be) with tu, "you," so it would technically translate to "are," and est would translate to "is."

Little History since ASCII Table links here
How about adding a little history how the grave accent made it into ASCII, since the ASCII wikipedia character table links here. I could dig the following:

http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/latin1/ascii-hist.html

"It appears to have been at their May 13-15, 1963 meeting that the CCITT decided that the proposed ISO  7-bit code standard would be suitable for their needs  if a lower case alphabet and five diacritical marks,  including the grave accent, were added to it.

At the October 29-31 meeting, then, the ISO subcommittee altered the ISO draft to meet the CCITT requirements, replacing the up-arrow and left-arrow with diacriticals, adding diacritical meanings to the apostrophe and quotation mark, and making the number sign a dual for the tilde."

Jan Burse (talk) 21:44, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

New use
There was found a use for the backtick as a the quote, following a noun, to indicate possession. The idea is to change convention so as to remove both ambiguity in usage and resolve an inconsistency in written English (vis-a-vis "it's" vs. "its" vs. "it is"). "It`s computers" with a backtick makes the grammar unambiguous that the item computer is possessed by the antecedent. The backtick allows the quote to "point to" the item possessed so is easy to remember. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.3.151.156 (talk) 19:39, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

"Unicode forgot to encode R-grave when encoding the letters with stress marks." A dramatic claim like this should surely have a citation. There's already a [Citation needed] - is there any followup for this? Stockhausenfan (talk) 20:40, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I recommend removing this assertion. While there's no precomposed character, an r followed by U+0300 COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT suffices. In fact, that sequence appears later in the article. DRMcCreedy (talk) 23:41, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Seu Jorge

translation of the word 'seu'
The word 'seu', in portuguese, literally means your (or yours), but it also may translate into a colloquial abbreviation of 'mister'. However, Jorge stated more than once to the brazilian MTV that, in his case, 'seu' comes from 'seu criado, seu amigo' (something like 'your friend, at your service'). Since, the correct meaning of his stage name should be Your George, not Mr. George. (mini update: sorry, I forgot to sign before) Leobarudi 11:14, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

My Brazilian friend told me it was like the "Your" in "Your Majesty" ... a formal "Your". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.212.107.61 (talk) 02:57, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

studio sessions
I just added it under solo, it's all him (doing all the bowie covers in the studio). Looks like a solo album to me. (as much as Bowie's Pinups is)

IPA Pronunciation
I think it would be helpful to add the IPA pronunciation of his name. I don't speak Portuguese, but it seems as if it should probably be something like: [seu ʒɔɾʒ] Can anyone confirm this?

close- i'm pretty sure it's /seu ʒɔɾʒi/, with the extra vowel on the end. though i don't speak portuguese either, i am currently taking a class on brazilian music, and it seems like words ending in a fricative/affricate + the letter "e" have the e pronounced as /i/. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.200.80.162 (talk) 17:44, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Alright I am fluent in Portuguese and the proper way to say Seu is a lot more simple than people are making it. The easiest way to pronounce would be to combine the words say and you. If you put the words next to each other and say them quickly you get say-you. I don't like using the crazy symbols when it's easier to just tell you how it sounds. I hope this can help out -Windorf —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.135.146.33 (talk) 18:22, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Album of the year?
I removed this line from the article. I would like to know the source of this info. Who declared that?

 * His album Samba Esporte Fino was declared the Album of the Year in Brazil.

Life Aquatic Studio Sessions
FYI, The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions Featuring Seu Jorge is due for release by Hollywood Records on November 22, 2005. I am not sure yet if it will belong in the "solo" or "featuring" list yet. — Eoghanacht  talk 20:09, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

See discussion here.

Collaborations
Shouldn't this secion be expanded or just completly taken out. Besides what is listed, there are 2 albums with Ana Caroilina (one studio & one live), and various songs with artists such as Alexandre Grooves, Forro in the Dark, Cibelle, and BiD. I am sure there are others, as I have almost no exposure to Brazillian music with the exception of what I occassionally stumble across. If it is worth trying to expand let me know and I will. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.138.255.129 (talk) 16:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Rebound effect

The rebound effect, or rebound phenomenon, is the emergence or re-emergence of symptoms that were either absent or controlled while taking a medication, but appear when that same medication is discontinued, or reduced in dosage. In the case of re-emergence, the severity of the symptoms is often worse than pretreatment levels.

Definition
The rebound effect, or pharmaceutical rebound phenomenon, is the emergence or re-emergence of symptoms that were either absent or controlled while taking a medication, but appear when that same medication is discontinued, or reduced in dosage. In the case of re-emergence, the severity of the symptoms is often worse than pretreatment levels.

Sedative hypnotics
Rebound insomnia is insomnia that occurs following discontinuation of sedative substances taken to relieve primary insomnia. Regular use of these substances can cause a person to become dependent on its effects in order to fall asleep. Therefore, when a person has stopped taking the medication and is 'rebounding' from its effects, they may experience insomnia as a symptom of withdrawal. Occasionally, this insomnia may be worse than the insomnia the drug was intended to treat. Common medicines known to cause this problem are eszopiclone, zolpidem, and anxiolytics such as benzodiazepines and which are prescribed to people having difficulties falling or staying asleep.

Rebound depression may appear to arise in patients previously free of such an illness.

Daytime rebound effects of anxiety, metallic taste, perceptual disturbances which are typical benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms can occur the next day after a short-acting benzodiazepine hypnotic wears off. Rebound phenomena do not necessarily only occur on discontinuation of a prescribed dosage. Another example is early morning rebound insomnia which may occur when a rapidly eliminated hypnotic wears off which leads to rebounding awakeness forcing the person to become wide awake before he or she has had a full night's sleep. One drug which seems to be commonly associated with these problems is triazolam, due to its high potency and ultra short half life, but these effects can occur with other short-acting hypnotic drugs. Quazepam, due to its selectivity for type1 benzodiazepine receptors and long half-life, does not cause daytime anxiety rebound effects during treatment, showing that half-life is very important for determining whether a nighttime hypnotic will cause next-day rebound withdrawal effects or not. Daytime rebound effects are not necessarily mild but can sometimes produce quite marked psychiatric and psychological disturbances.

Stimulants
Rebound effects from stimulants such as methylphenidate or dextroamphetamine include stimulant psychosis, depression and a return of ADHD symptoms but in a temporarily exaggerated form. Up to a third of ADHD children experience a rebound effect when methylphenidate is withdrawn.

Antidepressants
Many antidepressants, including SSRIs, can cause rebound depression, panic attacks, anxiety, and insomnia when discontinued.

Antipsychotics
Sudden and severe emergence or re-emergence of psychosis may appear when antipsychotics are switched or discontinued too rapidly.

Alpha-2 adrenergic agents
Rebound hypertension, above pre-treatment level, was observed after clonidine, and guanfacine discontinuation.

Continuous usage of topical decongestants (nasal sprays) can lead to constant nasal congestion, known as rhinitis medicamentosa.

Other medications
Another example of pharmaceutical rebound is a rebound headache from painkillers when the dose is lowered, the medication wears off, or the drug is abruptly discontinued.

In 2022, reports of viral RNA and symptom rebound in people with COVID-19 treated with Paxlovid were published. In May, CDC even issued a health alert informing physicians about "Paxlovid rebounds", which received attention when US president Joe Biden experienced a rebound. The cause of the rebound is unclear however, since around a third of people with COVID-19 experience a symptom rebound regardless of treatment.

Abrupt withdrawal of highly potent corticosteroids, such as clobetasol for psoriasis can cause a much more severe case of the psoriasis to develop. Therefore, withdrawal should be gradual, until very little actual medication is being applied.

Terramare culture

Terramare, terramara, or terremare is a technology complex mainly of the central Po valley, in Emilia, Northern Italy, dating to the Middle and Late Bronze Age c. 1700–1150 BC. It takes its name from the "black earth" residue of settlement mounds. Terramare is from terra marna, "marl-earth", where marl is a lacustrine deposit. It may be any color but in agricultural lands it is most typically black, giving rise to the "black earth" identification of it. The population of the terramare sites is called the terramaricoli. The sites were excavated exhaustively in 1860–1910.

These sites prior to the second half of the 19th century were commonly believed to have been used for Gallic and Roman sepulchral rites. They were called terramare and marnier by the farmers of the region, who mined the soil for fertilizer. Scientific study began with Bartolomeo Gastaldi in 1860. He was investigating peat bogs and old lake sites in north Italy but did some investigations of the marnier, recognizing them finally as habitation, not funerary, sites similar to the pile dwellings further north.

His studies attracted the attention of Pellegrino Strobel and his 18-year-old assistant, Luigi Pigorini. In 1862 they wrote a piece concerning the Castione di Marchesi in Parma, a Terramare site. They were the first to perceive that the settlements were prehistoric. Starting from Gaetano Chierici's theory that the pile dwellings further north represented an ancestral Roman population, Pigorini developed a theory of Indo-European settlement of Italy from the north.

Settlements
The Terramare, in spite of local differences, is of typical form; each settlement is trapezoidal, with streets arranged in a quadrangular pattern. Some houses are built upon piles even though the village is entirely on dry land and some are not. There is currently no commonly accepted explanation for the piles. The whole is protected by an earthwork strengthened on the inside by buttresses, and encircled by a wide moat supplied with running water. In all over 60 villages are known, almost entirely from Emilia. In the Middle Bronze Age they are no larger than 2 ha placed at an average density of 1 per 25 km2. In the Late Bronze Age many sites have been abandoned and the ones that were not are larger, up to 60 ha.

The remains discovered may be briefly summarized. Stone objects are few. Of bronze (the chief material) axes, daggers, swords, razors, and knives are found, as also minor implements, such as sickles, needles, pins, brooches, etc. Also remarkable is the finding of a large number of stone moulds, needed to obtain the bronze objects. There are also objects of bone and wood, besides pottery (both coarse and fine), amber, and glass paste. Small clay figures, chiefly of animals (though human figures are found at Castellazzo), are interesting as being practically the earliest specimens of plastic art found in Italy.

Society

The occupations of the Terramare people as compared with their Neolithic predecessors may be inferred with comparative certainty. They remained hunters, but also had domesticated animals; they were fairly skilful metallurgists, casting bronze in moulds of stone and clay; they were also agriculturists, cultivating beans, grapes, wheat, and flax.

According to William Ridgeway the dead were given a burial: further investigation, however, of the cemeteries shows that both burial and cremation were practiced, with cremated remains placed in ossuaries; practically no objects were found in the urns. Cremation may have been a later introduction.

Development and collapse

Around 1200 BC a serious crisis began for the Terramare culture that within a few years led to the abandonment of all the settlements; the reasons for this crisis, roughly contemporaneous with the Late Bronze Age collapse in the eastern Mediterranean, are still not entirely clear. It seems possible that in the face of an incipient overpopulation (between 150,000 and 200,000 individuals were calculated) and depletion of natural resources, a series of drought periods led to a deep economic crisis, famine, and consequently the disruption of the political order, which caused the collapse of society. Around 1150 BC the Terramare were completely abandoned, with no settlements replacing them. The plains, especially in the area of Emilia, were abandoned for several centuries, and only in the Roman era did they regain the density of population reached during the Terramare period.

It has been suggested that the memory of the fate of the Terramare culture may have lasted for centuries, until it was recorded by Dionysius of Halicarnassus, in his first book on the Roman Antiquities, as the fate of the Pelasgians. In his record the Pelasgians occupied the Po Valley up to two generations before the Trojan War, but were forced, by a series of famines of which they could not understand the reason, nor to which find a solution, to leave their once-fertile land and move to the south, where they merged with the Aborigines.

Theories of ethnic identity
Significant differences of opinion have arisen as to the origin and ethnographic relations of the Terramare population.

Edoardo Brizio, in his Epoca preistorica (1898), advanced a theory that the Terramare population had been the original Ligurians. Brizio believed that the Ligures, at some early point, took to erecting pile dwellings, although why they should have abandoned their previously unprotected hut-settlements for elaborate fortifications is unclear. While Brizio did not envision invading peoples until long after the Terramare period, the pile dwellings, ramparts and moats at Terramare sites have usually seemed more akin to military defenses, than the prevention of inundation during regular flooding; for instance, Terramare buildings usually stood on hills. There are other difficulties of a similar character with Brizio's theory.

Luigi Pigorini (1842–1925) proposed that a population derived from the Terramare culture was a dominant component of the Proto-Villanovan culture—especially in its northern and Campanian phases and the Terramare culture has been an Indo-European-speaking population, the ancestors of the Italici, i.e. the Italic-speaking peoples. Pigorini also attributed to the Italici a tradition of lake dwellings, modified in Italy into Terramare-style pile dwelling on dry land. More recently, Italian archeologist Andrea Cardarelli has proposed re-evaluations of contemporaneous Greek accounts, such as that of Dionysius of Halicarnassus, and to link the Terramare culture to the Pelasgians whom the Greeks generally equated with the Tyrrhenians and specifically, therefore, the Etruscans.

Lorca Deportiva CF

Lorca Deportiva Club de Fútbol, S.A.D. was a Spanish football club in Lorca, in the autonomous community of Murcia. Founded in 2002 it was dissolved ten years later, they held their home matches at Estadio Francisco Artés Carrasco, which seats 8,000.

History
Lorca Deportiva was founded in 2002, right after the defunction of Lorca Club de Fútbol which had been born eight years earlier. The new club started in the fourth division after acquiring the place of CD Balsicas, and was promoted to the third level at the first attempt.

As rookies in the third tier, Lorca qualified for the play-offs after occupying the second place in the regular season. Next season the team finished fourth, but this time managed to promote to the division two: with Unai Emery – who later managed Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal F.C. and Aston Villa – in the position of manager, it narrowly missed on a new promotion, finishing just five points behind last La Liga promotee Levante UD.

After Emery's departure, with many first-team players also leaving, Lorca was relegated the following campaign. In the middle of 2009, although it had just finished second in its group, economic issues led to another drop, to the fourth division.

For the 2010–11 season, the club was relocated to nearby Totana and renamed LD Olímpico. On 18 October 2010, amidst serious economic problems, it retired from competition and folded, without chairman or players – all 93 points that the team would lose for not showing up in the remaining 31 fixtures of the season were equally distributed by their opponents, and Lorca was finally dissolved in 2012.

Season to season

 * 2 seasons in Segunda División
 * 4 seasons in Segunda División B
 * 3 seasons in Tercera División

Orlando, Soweto

Orlando is a township in the urban area of Soweto, South Africa. The township was founded in 1931 and named after Edwin Orlando Leake, mayor of Johannesburg from 1925 to 1926. It is divided in two main areas: Orlando West and Orlando East.

History
The township of Orlando was directly involved in some of the most important events of the fight against the apartheid system. Some of the most dramatic clashes between the South African police and anti-apartheid demonstrators occurred in Orlando West. This includes the Soweto uprising where 12-year-old Hector Pieterson was killed. The Hector Pieterson Memorial Museum was established in Orlando West to commemorate those events. In the surroundings of the museum is the house where Nelson Mandela lived for several years while practicing law; the house now hosts the Mandela Family Museum. South African struggle activist and politician Winnie Madikizela-Mandela resided in Soweto during the apartheid era until her death on 2 April 2018.

Orlando Stadium is the home of the soccer team Orlando Pirates of the South African Premier Division.

Andy Ducat

Andrew Ducat (15 February 1886 – 23 July 1942) was an England and Surrey cricketer and an England footballer, being one of an elite group to have represented their country in both sports. He died while batting at Lord's.

Early life
Ducat was born in Brixton, London, but grew up in Southend. The cricket writer David Foot said his surname was "pronounced 'Dewkitt' by the family, 'Duckett' on the football terraces". In the First World War, he served in the Royal Garrison Artillery, from 1915, and was promoted to Company Quartermaster Sergeant in 1916 until being discharged due to 'disability' in 1919.

Cricket career
Ducat joined the ground staff at The Oval in 1906, and soon became a regular member of the Surrey county team, playing alongside Tom Hayward, Jack Hobbs and Ernest Hayes. Standing 5'10" high, he was a powerful, forcing batsman, and made 52 centuries for Surrey, including 306 not out in 280 minutes against the Oxford University in 1919. He was also one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1920. He missed many matches due to injury: a broken leg in 1912 almost ended his career, and he missed the 1924 season after breaking his arm in the nets. In 1928, he made 994 runs in less than six weeks, including centuries in four successive matches. In 1921 it was said that he was one of the most dangerous batsmen in England that is not quite first class, but his defence was not soound enough to bring him consistent success against the best bowlers.

He played in only one Test, the 3rd Test against Australia at Headingley in 1921 when he was unlucky to only make 3 and 2. He was "doubly" out in the first innings: his bat disintegrated when he played a ball bowled by Ted McDonald, the ball looping to slip where it was caught, and part of the bat dislodging a bail. He was given out caught rather than hit wicket.

Football career
Ducat also had a successful football career. He started out playing for non-league Southend Athletic before joining First Division Woolwich Arsenal in 1905.

He made his Arsenal debut on 11 February 1905, in a 2–0 win against Blackburn Rovers, playing at centre forward. After losing his place in 1906–07, he was later switched to right half and became a regular in 1907–08 and 1908–09. During his time at Arsenal, he won three caps for England, with his debut coming against Ireland in Belfast on 12 February 1910; England won 6–1. On his second appearance for England, against Wales on 14 March the same year, Ducat scored the only goal in a 1–0 win.

Ducat's ability and success with England brought attention from bigger clubs than Arsenal, who were at the time going through a financial crisis. Eventually, he was sold for £1,000 to England's most successful club Aston Villa in 1912, having played 188 matches and scored 21 goals for Arsenal. After suffering a broken leg in his first season at Villa, he recovered to become a stalwart in the side, captaining Villa to their sixth FA Cup win in 1919–20, beating Huddersfield Town. He also regained his England place; having not played since 1910, he won three more caps during 1920, the last coming in a 2–0 win against Ireland at Roker Park on 23 October 1920, bringing his total number of England appearances to six.

He moved to Fulham in 1921, and upon his retirement from playing in 1924, he succeeded Phil Kelso (his former boss at Arsenal) as Fulham manager. However, the Cottagers struggled with Ducat in charge, finishing 12th and 19th in the Second Division during the two seasons he was at the helm. He was sacked in 1926. After his departure from Fulham, he was given permission by the FA to play football for the Casuals.

Personal life
Ducat married on 20 June 1914 at St Stephen's Church, Hounslow, Vera Barbour, daughter of Aston Villa footballer Horace Barbour. They had one daughter together.

Retirement and death
After retiring from cricket in 1931, Ducat became a cricket coach at Eton College until his death. He was also a sports reporter for the Daily Sketch. He died suddenly in 1942 during a game at Lord's Cricket Ground of an apparent heart attack after lunch whilst playing in a wartime cricket match between teams from his unit of the Home Guard from Surrey against another from Sussex. The match was immediately abandoned as a mark of respect for Ducat. He was aged 56, and he is the only person to have died while playing in a match at Lord's. He was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium.

Talk:Kennedy half dollar

Untitled
So are Kennedy coins minted after 1970 and not including any silver worth anything more than 50 cents? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.58.82.135 (talk) 20:54, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Design change
The Design for the Kennedy half dollar changed sometime between 1982 and 1992 the back became less raised and more flat. Does anybody know when this happened?
 * Over the last few decades, the US Mint has been saving money on production costs by gradually reducing the relief of all coin designs. Compare a 1965 quarter to a 1998 quarter, or 1968 penny to a 1998 penny.  This has been happening for forty years, and the half dollar is not excepted. - Deeplogic (talk) 17:09, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Not all
The article incorrectly stated that all Kennedy halves minted in San Francisco were proofs. There was one exception; the 3 piece Bicentennial uncirculated set were minted in San Francisco, and the Kennedy half included was in fact a normal business strike. Corrected the article to reflect that. 75.70.123.215 (talk) 18:51, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Proofs
Do proofs from '92 onwards actually have a the same silver content as the '64 coins? Not according to coinfacts.com: www.coinfacts.com/half_dollars/kennedy_half_dollars/1992s_half_dollar_silver.htm. I've seen many websites selling '92 onwards proof, claiming they are 90% silver. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.96.42.6 (talk) 09:13, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Statue of Liberty 1986
I was surprised to find a half dollar coin from 1986 with the Statue of Liberty on it. I got it at the bank inside a roll of Kennedy half dollars. It is significantly lighter than the Kennedy half dollar, but it is marked as it if its honest to goodness US coinage. I thought this might be in commemoration of the Statue's anniversary and restoration. Does anyone know anything about this coin? Is it considered a Kennedy half dollar? Is it a Liberty half dollar? Should we mention it in this article? --ErinHowarth (talk) 23:35, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

 * It's actually a commemorative and is listed properly here. (bigger image) Nice find in a roll! Someone's kid probably swiped it for smokes or something... ack!  Bobby  I'm Here, Are You There? 00:21, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

infobox
the other us coin pages have infoboxes, that would be an improvememtn to this article. --ErinHowarth (talk) 23:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

This article is missing the specifications of the Kennedy half dollar for the first year, 1964. The first year, 1964, is supposed to be 90% silver. There are no specs regarding the 1964 silver half dollar. The article itself mentions how 1964 had 90% silver. However, there are no specs regarding gross weight in grams, etc..., for the 1964 90% silver Kennedy half dollar. Mr-Encyclopedia-Man (talk) 21:04, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That should not be a major issue, I'll add it later today. Just need to look up the specs on the coin world website.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:50, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It's in there now. I apologize for the ugliness, my colleague RHM22 is better at these things than I am, I will ask him for help with this.  He hasn't been on much recently.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:48, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding that. I would have done it myself but I rarely add any major content to WikiPedia.  I am not familiar with Wiki's editing format.  Right now I am too busy to learn it but eventually I'll start adding more content than just simple additions.Mr-Encyclopedia-Man (talk) 02:44, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I would not call our editing platform intuitive, but it's not terrible, just rather old fashioned. It reminds me of Scripsit, actually.  Please let me know when you are ready to do more stuff in this area, especially if with the coins, where we can use help.--Wehwalt (talk) 18:54, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I've modified it slightly, but it's still confusing. I'm not sure I can do much better, since the Kennedy half dollar has such a confusing history. They just can't decide on what metals they want to use!-RHM22 (talk) 20:19, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion for inclusion: The "real eyes" light effect.
I have discovered an interesting peculiarity in the Kennedy half dollar, which, to the best of my knowledge, is unique for a coin.

When a strong source of light (I've been using a 40w spot light) hits the coin from an angle of 45 degrees (coming from the right), the Kennedy figure suddenly "acquires" extraordinarily "real" eyes. This might be worth inclusion. I will leave the authors of the article to judge this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUYZlc6z8yg& — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.166.57.216 (talk) 23:20, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Well, it's not really in our hands. As we require reliable sources for anything in this article per WP:RS, you would have to have your discovery covered by one of those sources, for example a newspaper, before we could list it.--Wehwalt (talk) 23:32, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

--- Hmmm... I can understand the requirement for "reliable sources" but this is not something that would be over the news, or some newsite, scientific journal etc - especially for a coin which is several decades old. It's just something "cool" that can be replicated by anyone with a coin, a camera and a light shining from the right side at an angle... (Video showing the proper light setup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwWWYn0Mgnc& )

...Anyway, as I said, I understand the guidelines, your position and the peculiarity of the case also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.166.57.216 (talk) 23:23, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

 * We are supposed to report only what has been reported elsewhere. Your experiment is interesting but really it would have to be reported someplace else for us to use it.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:33, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

 * The other concern here is that wikipedia is quite strict about not including original research. We not only need reliable sources, but we really do have our hands tied if none exist.   Montanabw (talk) 22:45, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Engraver's initials missing
Red circle shows location of missing mark.

Was reading this which mentions the engraver's initials on Kennedy's neck. I was surprised to see this mark missing on our image of the coin as used in the infobox. Another image we have, and another I found online clearly show the mark. Also (and more importantly) the claimed source of the coin image is the U.S. mint which offers two images... both show the mark. I'm thinking the image we're showing in the infobox is not the best representative of that coin. Thoughts? – JBarta (talk) 06:45, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we should replace with the current images the US mint is offering.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:15, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

 * This me of the urban myth connected with the engraver's initials I recall from my childhood (close to the coin's original issue). A rumor spread because some (idiots) thought the initials "GR" looked like the Soviet hammer and sickle emblem on the coin. Since the source you found documents this, why don't we add it to the article? JustinTime55 (talk) 13:34, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The thing is, it was the third coin issue in 20 years to have such a rumor (the Franklin and the Roosevelt dime, designed by John Sinnock, and with initials JS, were said to be a tribute to Joseph Stalin. I wonder how widespread such views on the Kennedy were, in light of the massive publicity that surrounded it ... I'm OK with it either way, though.--Wehwalt (talk) 19:50, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Existence of the initial minting
There seems to be a logical disconnect between "vanished from circulation" in the first sentence of paragraph 2, to "seldom seen in circulation" in the second sentence.

Additionally, the "seldom seen in circulation" doesn't hold much water for those of my generation; it was common in my experience for my friends and me to receive silver Kennedys for birthdays, holidays, chores, mowing the neighbors' lawn - and we always spent them. Again, hearsay, but you might want to find a reference for that...

Otherwise, pretty interesting! Just gets off to a rough start in terms of what I can relate to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cronkurleigh (talk • contribs) 04:31, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Was this in 1964?--Wehwalt (talk) 06:37, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Yes. Granted, it's only personal experience, but based on that it's a little hard to buy into the statement that they "vanished from circulation" without some verifiable citation. Cronkurleigh (talk) 16:53, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure. What you are going by is the lede of the article, WP:LEDE.  It isn't cited because the facts in there are contained (and cited) in the body of the article.  It's a summary, and since the facts in the body are sourced, it's allowed not to be sourced.  That doesn't mean it's not backed up.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:44, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Worth mentioning?
Not sure if this is worth mentioning or not, but the same profile image of Kennedy that appears on the half dollar also appears on the JFK memorial in Portland, Oregon. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 05:08, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It looks to be a fairly local sort of thing. If it was part of the Kennedy gravesite at Arlington, say, that would have far more significance. And it isn't even by Gilroy Roberts, just copied from the half.--Wehwalt (talk) 09:11, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't feel strongly either way, I just wanted to let article contributors decide if it was worth mentioning how the profile image has been used elsewhere. Another Believer  ( Talk ) 21:37, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I won't edit war either way, either., do you have an opinion?--Wehwalt (talk) 22:38, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree with Wehwalt here. If the monument had been designed before the half dollar, then I'd certainly think it would be worth including. As it is, it seems to have just been copied from the half dollar.-RHM22 (talk) 16:33, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Huh?
I see that the infobox refers to the composition of "some 1776–1976 San Francisco-minted coins" - a detail which has been in the article for at least four years. How many Kennedy dollars were actually minted in the 18th and 19th centuries? :) Grutness... wha?   09:34, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Darcy's Wild Life

Darcy's Wild Life is a teen sitcom starring Sara Paxton, and broadcast on Discovery Kids in the United States, and the Family Channel in Canada, from October 2004 to March 2006. The show also aired on NBC as part of the Discovery Kids on NBC programing block.

Premise
The series revolved around Darcy Fields, the daughter of an eccentric actress Victoria Fields who decides to move away from Malibu to raise her daughter in a more normal environment. Darcy is slow to adjust to her new home in the country. She gets a job at a local veterinary clinic called Creature Comforts. The show is mostly about the humorous situations Darcy gets into while adjusting to her new surroundings.

The series title is a pun on the word "wildlife", which is the main theme of the show. The title refers to Darcy's eccentric life dealing with wildlife. Many episodes also had titles based on puns, such as "Puppy Love" (with puppies), "Swine Flew the Coop" (on swine flu), "Knockin' on Heaven's Doggie Door" (song "Knockin' on Heaven's Door") or "The Trouble with Truffles" (Star Trek's "Tribbles").

Main

 * Sara Paxton as Darcy Fields: Darcy loves fashion and doesn't know too much about nature and is terrified of animals until she moves to what she calls "the middle of nowhere". She was born in a parking lot of her mother's movie premiere. She is always trying new things in this small little town. Darcy is also very girly at times and her favorite color is pink.
 * Natalie Radford as Victoria Fields: Before she had Darcy, Victoria was a famous actress. She owns a farm house where she and Darcy live.
 * Andrew Chalmers as Jack Adams: Jack is Lindsay's little brother. He craves fame, and is always trying to do something either to get money or fame.

 * Shannon Collis as Lindsay Adams: She is one of Darcy's best friends, and is often the voice of reason for Darcy. Lindsay is a hard-working girl that works in her dad's vet/pet shop. She is the big sister of Jack. She has a crush on Eli, and sometimes is in a conflict with Darcy ("Nature vs. Nurture"). She dated Tyler in the episode,"My Fair Lindsay". Lindsay's a straight-A student. Her dream is to be a Marine Vet. Lindsay and Jack's mom died when they were little.
 * Kevin Symons as Dr. Kevin Adams: Kevin is the vet at Creature Comforts. He is quite eccentric, but a kind and competent veterinarian and like a dad to Darcy. He often tells disturbing stories, particularly about bad incidents with gourmet food, which can annoy Darcy.
 * Melanie Leishman as Kathi Giraldi: Another one of Darcy's best friends. She is naive and doesn't always stand up for herself. She is bubbly and often rambles on about random subjects.

Recurring

Someday's Dreamers

Someday's Dreamers (魔法遣いに大切なこと) is a Japanese manga series written by Norie Yamada and illustrated by Kumichi Yoshizuki. It was serialized in Fujimi Shobo's Comic Dragon magazine from May 2002 to January 2003 and was later collected in two bound volumes. In 2006, Tokyopop released the manga in the United States under the name Someday's Dreamers.

Someday's Dreamers was also adapted into an anime television series that was animated by J.C.Staff under the direction of Masami Shimoda. It is loosely based on the storyline of the first manga series, with new characters added to the story. It ran for a total of 12 episodes on TV Asahi and was later licensed by Geneon Entertainment USA. After the closure of Geneon USA, the series was relicensed by Sentai Filmworks.

Another story set in the same universe, Someday's Dreamers: Spellbound (魔法遣いに大切なこと 太陽と風の坂道), written and drawn by the same author and illustrator, was serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Comic Dragon Age. It ran from December 2003 to February 2006 and was later released in five bound volumes. In 2006, Tokyopop released the manga in the United States.

In 2007, Norie Yamada and Kumichi Yoshizuki began work on a third title in the Someday's Dreamers universe, titled Summer Skies (魔法遣いに大切なこと 〜夏のソラ〜). It was serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Shōnen Ace and began its run in the April issue, released on February 26, 2008. Summer Skies was scheduled to have a live action movie adaptation released on December 20, 2008, though it was originally scheduled for a summer 2008 premiere. The story was also adapted into an anime television series, following the new main character, Sora. The series is directed by Osamu Kobayashi and is animated by Hal Film Maker. It aired on TV Asahi from July 2, 2008 to September 24, 2008.

Someday's Dreamers
The story is set in present-day Tokyo. Much of the setting is based upon real areas, the more obvious ones being the Shibuya Crossing and the Tokyo Tower. The main backdrop of the series where all the characters reside is Shimokitazawa, roughly six minutes west of Shibuya on the Keio Inokashira Line. The Bureau of Magic is in Tokyo, which employs Mage Labor for certain special requests by everyday people. However, the mages must only use their magic with special permission, and any unlicensed use results in a penalty. The story is very gentle and centers around the protagonist, a witch named Yume Kikuchi (菊池 ユメ), a second-year senior high school student from Tono in Iwate prefecture. In order to train as a magic user, she travels to Tokyo during her summer break to apprentice under the charming Masami Oyamada (小山田 雅美). The story tells of Yume's trials and tribulations as she works toward her eventual graduation as a full-fledged magic user licensed by the Bureau of Magic. There is a strong undercurrent of romance which is never resolved.

Mahōtsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora
Sora Suzuki is a cheerful girl with magical abilities who lives with her mother in the small town of Biei, Hokkaido. With the intention to honour a promise made to her late father, she successfully applies for a magic internship in Tokyo and temporarily moves into a boarding house in the city. Over the course of a summer month, she meets other teenagers studying to become accredited mages, including an initially aloof boy who appears to lack magic abilities. Under the guidance of their mentors, the apprentices learn more about magic, each other, and life in general as they attend formal classes and work to fulfil contractual assignments for clients.

In the manga, Sora has a strange trait to her magic that manifests itself despite her ire; whenever Sora casts a spell, the result always involves sunflowers, though otherwise almost always how Sora intended it. This is absent in the anime.

Music
The composer of the anime soundtrack, Takefumi Haketa, hoped that girls would identify with the lead role and created music which had a nostalgic feel to it, evoking both English and Irish suburbs, but also memories of the European Middle Ages. Using traditional instruments such as Irish whistles, he created tracks based on jigs, reels and a real salsa track. For two themes, he employed the voices of a 10-member-strong choir of schoolchildren. The vocal songs were also arranged by Haketa and sung by Miki Taoka.
