Tripoux

Tripoux (or Tripous) is a French dish made with small bundles of sheep tripe, usually stuffed with sheep's feet, sweetbreads and various herbs and garden vegetables. There are a number of variations on this dish, but they generally all involve savoury ingredients held together with sheep tripe and braised over low heat.

This dish calls for a dry, young and fruity white wine, such as Gaillac, Sancerre, Quincy, Saint-Pourçain, Reuilly or Pouilly-sur-loire but could also go with a local red wine (Gaillac or Marcillac).

Kokoro Library

Kokoro Library (ココロ図書館) is a slice-of-life Japanese manga series by Nobuyuki Takagi and Yōsuke Kuroda, originally serialized between April 2000 and July 2002 in Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh. It follows the peaceful daily lives of three sisters who live in a library.

The manga was adapted into a 13-episode anime television series directed by Koji Masunari, who is also known as the director of the anime OVA series Read or Die (2001) and Kamichu! (2005). It is described by critics as a prime example of the iyashikei or "healing type" anime genre.

Plot
Kokoro Library is a heartwarming slice of life series depicting the peaceful everyday lives of three orphaned sisters as they take care of the library which also serves as their family home. The anime delves more deeply into the library's history, its connection to the local town, and challenges faced by the sisters.

Kokoro, the youngest, has just joined her sisters Aruto and Iina as an official librarian. The library receives few visitors, and each visit is often the subject of an entire episode. Kokoro learns the meaning of being a librarian, meets her favourite author, and takes a family trip to the seaside. The library is called "the place where miracles happen", although we see nothing more magical than Kokoro's ability to produce rainbows with her watering can.

Events take a dramatic twist when phantom thief Funny Tortoise steals a mysterious locked book which belonged to Kokoro's father, who died when she was very young. Worse, the town mayor announces that the library will be closed due to lack of visitors. Kokoro is heartbroken, but believes the answer may lie in the stolen book, which has meanwhile been returned to the library.

The next episode is seen from the point of view of a young soldier named Sant Jordi, during a war which has seen the town heavily bombed. Jordi's positive attitude makes an impression on his comrades, who occupy a ruined library. When the town is approached by an enemy armored division, Jordi's decision to destroy the bridge without killing the enemy ultimately saves the town. He begins to distribute library books to the townsfolk to lift their spirits in the difficult post-war period, ultimately settling in the town and constructing Kokoro Library.

Kokoro, reading the story in what is revealed to be her father's diary of the war, finally has a connection to the parents she never knew. The sisters head to town hall to show the diary to the mayor, hoping to change her mind. They arrive to discover a massive protest against the library's shutdown—the people of the town have not forgotten Jordi's contributions. The mayor allows the library to remain open, and Kokoro and her sisters continue to live their peaceful days together in the library.

Production
Yōsuke Kuroda, a scriptwriter who had highly appreciated Takagi's doujin works published under the name "Boo", heard from Takagi himself that he was going to retire from his company and train to become a manga artist. "It's too late to train to become a manga artist now when you have the ability," he said, and pitched Takagi to the editor-in-chief of Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh, whom he knew.

The editor also appreciated Boo's drawing style and immediately gave him a positive response for serialization. At that time, Kuroda was instructed to write a scenario, which he accepted, and the serialization took shape. According to Kuroda, it took only an hour and a half from the time he was informed of Takagi's resignation to the time he informed Takagi that the serialization had been decided. As a result, Kuroda was in charge of the script for both the original story and the animation.

Kokoro Library was animated digitally, rather than on cels as had been used for Studio Deen's animated productions until the late 1990s. However, limited-edition hand-painted replica cels were made available to collectors for ¥5,000 by online sale.

The setting of Kokoro Library is ambiguous. The town is identified in signage as "Toaru City" (都亜瑠), a homonym for the phrase "a certain city", although it is never named in dialogue. We are never explicitly told the name of the country where the library is situated, or the year when the series takes place. Rather, it is a pastiche of Japanese and European cultural elements. Several pieces of mid-20th century technology appear: Iina drives a redecorated World War II Volkswagen Schwimmwagen, while other characters drive the post-war Citroën H Van and Citroën DS. In episode 11, Jordi's side carry the Karabiner 98k used by German troops in World War II, while the enemy armored unit fields the Russian T-34 and GAZ-67; however, neither side's nation is explicitly identified. Modern computers and cameras also appear, along with science fiction androids.

The anime was notable as Chiwa Saitō's first major voice acting role. Saitō would go on to perform over three hundred anime voice roles in the following two decades.

Kokoro and the comparoid June make appearances in Nobuyuki Takagi's 2003 manga Pure Marionation, set eight years after Kokoro Library.

The names of the three sisters together form the phrase "kokoro aru to ii na," meaning "it's good to have a heart". In the anime, it is revealed that the sisters were intentionally given these names by their parents in order to spell out this motto. This phrase appears as a subtitle on the cover of the manga, but is not immediately revealed in the anime, the DVDs for which instead use the subtitle "Do you remember these heartful days?"

Manga
Kokoro Library began serialization in the April 2000 issue of Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh. It ran until the July 2002 issue, ending on 51 chapters in all. It was collected and published in a set of three A5 loose-leaf volumes between April 2001 and August 2002, under the Dengeki Comics Ex imprint. "A Fan Book" was released in June 2002 containing artwork and interviews.

Kokoro Library was reprinted in April 2013 in two smaller paperback volumes under the Gum Comics Plus imprint. These volumes featured new cover art by Nobuyuki Takagi which pays homage to the original April 2000 Dengeki Daioh cover.

A German translation was released by Egmont Ehapa in 2004. To date, the manga has not received an official English release.

Anime
The October 2001 issue of Dengeki Daioh announced the adaption of Kokoro Library into an anime. The first episode aired on TV Tokyo on Friday, October 12, 2001, at 01:15am JST (the night of Thursday, October 11 at 25:15am). Its time slot was used in the previous cours by Noir, and was followed in that slot by Aquarian Age: Sign for Evolution.

The final free-to-air television episode of Kokoro Library was episode 12, which aired on December 28, 2001 (the night of December 27). It was followed by a bonus thirteenth episode, which aired only on premium channel AT-X on February 17, 2002. A repeat of all 13 episodes aired on AT-X in 2002, again on that channel from November 2003 and again from on March 1, 2005.

The series was released in Japan on VHS and DVD in 2002. The first DVD was released January 23, 2002, containing a single episode for ¥2,500. Subsequent volumes were released monthly, containing two episodes per disc for ¥5,800, with the second disc including a box to hold all seven volumes. The first VHS was released on February 21, 2002, containing four episodes for ¥9,800, with each subsequent tape containing three episodes for ¥8,500, for a total of four tapes. Both releases included the thirteenth bonus episode. The final DVD was released on July 24, 2002. The DVD release used the 4:3 aspect ratio and was notable for use of linear PCM audio rather than the lossy Dolby Digital format.

In March 2002, the Japan Library Association announced that copies of the Kokoro Library anime would appear in 500 libraries across Japan.

From November 2002, all 13 episodes were released on DVD and Video CD in Taiwan by Mighty Media Co., Ltd.

All thirteen episodes were subsequently made available in Japan on Amazon Prime Video. To date, the series has not seen an official English translation.

Soundtracks
A CD single was released for the series opening theme "Beagle" on October 24, 2001. The CD also includes the ending theme "Tsuki wa miteru" ("The Moon is Watching Over Me") and off-vocal versions of each. The vocals to both songs were provided by Yasuko Yamano, while the lyrics to both were written by Yuuho Iwasato, who also wrote the lyrics to Cardcaptor Sakura ending "Fruits Candy" and the Macross Frontier insert song "Infinity". Dan Miyakawa composed and arranged "Beagle", and composed "Tsuki wa miteru", which was arranged by Noriyasu Kumagai. The lyrics to "Tsuki wa Miteru" reference the children's book Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me by Eric Carle, as well as Kokoro's understanding that, like the moon, her late father continues to watch over her.

An anime soundtrack CD, Kokoro Library Original Soundtrack (ココロ図書館 オリジナル・サウンドトラック) was released by Victor Entertainment on December 19, 2001. It features 19 tracks from the anime, including the full-length versions of the opening "Beagle" and the ending "Tsuki wa miteru", and the TV size version of "Beagle".

They included both dolls and 1/6 scale figures of the three sisters, at least ten separate posters, Broccoli trading cards, a 2002 calendar, a mouse mat, pencil boards, a bookend, several telephone cards, a CD case, a watch, three pin badges, a memo pad, and even an official replica Kokoro cosplay costume produced by Broccoli subsidiary Cospa and retailing for ¥44,800 (equivalent to US$376 in 2002).

An official Kokoro Library website was maintained, which displayed screenshots and a synopsis of each episode, and informed readers of upcoming Kokoro Library releases. While the website was no longer updated after 2002, it is still online as of 2021. TV Tokyo also briefly had a Kokoro Library webpage.

Reception
Kokoro Library's anime adaptation was met to generally positive reviews. The first DVD volume was reviewed by Paul Grisham of Mania.com, where he praised the use of color, saying, "Colors are rich and warm and convey the fairy tale setting of the Kokoro Library and the nearby town effectively." Paul also commented on the audio, calling it "warm and inviting without even the slightest hint of distortion." Jeremy A Beard from THEM Anime Reviews praised the "general pleasant feeling and atmosphere" of the small town depicted in the anime. Despite finding the "overall Kokoro Library experience enjoyable", Jeremy remarked that its "accompanying relaxed pacing" would turn viewers off.

Ryusuke Hikawa of Bandai Channel described Kokoro Library' as a monumental work which has perfected the "healing type" (iyashikei) genre of anime, intended to soothe the viewer after a hard day of work. He described it as lyrical and truly heartful, and praised Chiwa Saitō's voice as Kokoro.

In the Anihabara anime rankings poll of anime fans in the Kantō region for February 2002, Kokoro Library was rated #8, and #10 for November 2001. The December 2001 anime song ranking placed Kokoro Librarys opening "Beagle" at #5, and the ending "Tsuki wa Miteru" at #8.

Royal Tournament

The Royal Tournament was the world's largest military tattoo and pageant, held by the British Armed Forces annually between 1880 and 1999. The venue was originally the Royal Agricultural Hall and latterly the Earls Court Exhibition Centre. In its later years it also acted as a fundraising event for leading forces charities, such as The Royal British Legion.

History
The Grand Military Tournament and Assault at Arms was held at the former Royal Agricultural Hall, in Islington from 21 to 26 June 1880. The Tournament was effectively a series of competitions contested by the officers and men of the regular and auxiliary units of the British Army. Although crowds didn’t flock to the Tournament in the first year, it was held again in 1881 and subsequent years.

More events to please audiences were added, including music from military bands, re-enactments, Musical Rides by the Cavalry and Musical Drives by the Artillery. Crowds began to flock to performances at the Agricultural hall; during the early 1900s the show outgrew its home and moved to the west London venue of Olympia. The Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force also participated. The show was renamed a number of times until it finally became the Royal Tournament.

Post World War II
After the Second World War, the Tournament once again moved to a larger stage and opened its doors to the public at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in 1950. With the exception of the war years, the Tournament was staged every summer from 1880 to 1999. The Royal Tournament was the first and biggest Military Tattoo in the World. Towards the end ticket sales were insufficient to cover costs; the 1998 Royal Tournament made a loss. On Monday 2 August 1999, the Royal Tournament closed for the final time to reduce military costs, following the 1998 Strategic Defence Review.

The British Military Tournament
In June 2010, the Army Benevolent Fund announced that a new event, to be called the British Military Tournament, would be held over the weekend of 4–5 December 2010, bringing together the "best elements of the Royal Tournament", including the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery's Musical Drive, and the Royal Navy Field gun competition. The two themes of the event as announced were the 350th anniversary of the Household Cavalry, and the 150th anniversary of both the Army Physical Training Corps and the cadet movement. Initially, only the Army was to participate (with Navy or RAF presence only in old staples such as the Field Gun competition). Press reports suggested that the event might have later been held annually, "hosted" by the different services in turn.

The British Military Tournament was held four times, the 2013 Tournament being the last.

Westport Country Playhouse

Westport Country Playhouse is a not-for-profit regional theater in Westport, Connecticut. It was founded in 1931 by Lawrence Langner, a New York theater producer. Langner remodeled an 1830s tannery with a Broadway-quality stage.

Construction and early use
The building that now houses Westport Country Playhouse was originally constructed in 1835 as a tannery by R&H Haight, owned by Henry Haight. Charles H. Kemper acquired the tannery from Henry Haight's widow in 1866 and subsequently renamed the business C.H. Kemper Co. In 1930, the former tannery, which had been unused since the 1920s, was purchased for $14,000 by Lawrence Langner. Cleon Throckmorten, a Broadway designer, was commissioned to renovate the interior of the building.

Grand opening
On June 29, 1931, the curtain went up on the first production at the Westport Country Playhouse. The Playhouse quickly became an established stop on the New England "straw hat circuit" of summer stock theaters.

Twentieth century
In the 1940s, the Westport Country Playhouse began its apprentice program for young theater professionals. Over the years, Westport Country Playhouse apprentices have included composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim, screenwriter Frank Perry, television host Sally Jesse Raphael, composer Mary Rodgers, actor Cary Elwes, and actress Tammy Grimes. The educational apprenticeship programs are still running. The Westport Country Playhouse closed due to World War II from 1942 to 1945. In the late 1940s and 1950s, the Westport Country Playhouse's successes included world premieres of William Inge's Come Back, Little Sheba and Horton Foote's The Trip to Bountiful, both of which went on to Broadway. Since the Langners stepped down in 1959, the administration has included James B. McKenzie from 1959 to 2000, and actress Joanne Woodward, wife of actor Paul Newman, who served as artistic director from 2000 through 2005, following an 18-month, multi-million dollar renovation. Newman remained a part-owner of a restaurant next to the theatre until his death in 2008. The Playhouse became a non-profit in 1973.

Present day
The theater is under the artistic direction of Mark Shanahan.

Charity Navigator awarded its top 4-star charity rating to the Playhouse in recognition of its strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency.

Campaign for a New Era
The Campaign for a New Era was the fundraising effort by the Westport Country Playhouse to help pay for its $30.6 million, 18-month renovation from 2003 to 2005. Donations of more than $1,000 are recognized within the Westport Country Playhouse's lobby and production programs. Some of the largest donations came from the State of Connecticut, the Devlin Foundation, the Lucille Lortel Foundation, Elisabeth & Stanley Morten, and Joanne Woodward & Paul Newman. Woodward and executive director Alison Harris led a $30.6 million renovation, transforming the old barn into a modern, year-round theatre facility. The renovated theatre reopened in 2005. At Woodward's suggestion, a piece of the original stage floor was placed at the dressing room entrance to give a little extra luck to the actors. Woodward stepped down from her job in January 2006, and was followed by actor, opera and theatre director, and playwright Tazewell Thompson. However, Woodward and Newman continued to contribute to the Westport Country Playhouse's "Campaign for a New Era".

Seating
The Westport Country Playhouse currently has a total of 578 seats. This is the seating capacity before the renovation. The seats are now individual and cushioned, as opposed to the former wooden pews, while retaining the historic look of the former pews. Further, fewer of the current seats are considered "limited view" since the renovation. The 578 seats are distributed as follows: Several seats in both the orchestra and mezzanine can be removed or modified to be wheelchair accessible.
 * 424 orchestra
 * 234 center orchestra
 * 93 house left orchestra
 * 97 house right orchestra
 * 154 mezzanine
 * 118 center mezzanine
 * 18 left mezzanine boxes
 * 18 right mezzanine boxes

Stage

 * Stage:
 * Height: 3 ft above house floor
 * Depth: 26 ft deep from plaster line to back wall, 2 ft apron below plaster line, 28 ft total depth
 * Wing Space: 13 ft clear stage right, 24 ft clear stage left
 * Proscenium:
 * Height: 15 ft above stage floor
 * Width: 32 ft wide
 * Orchestra pit:
 * Depth: 9 ft below stage floor

Education
Of the hundreds of interns and apprentices who have passed through the Playhouse's educational programs, several have gone on to attain notoriety. Some graduates include Stephen Sondheim, Frank Perry, Tammy Grimes, Sally Jessy Raphael, Mary Rodgers, and Christina Crawford. A large number of Playhouse interns and apprentices have made careers in the theatre or in related activities.

Joanne Woodward Internship Program
The program is named in honor of Joanne Woodward, co-artistic director. The Westport Country Playhouse provides summer and school year internships to students ages 19 and older from around the country.

The interns are entrusted with considerable responsibilities and treated as staff members while they engage in an intensive learning experience. Each intern is hired for a specific position, but are expected to work as a team and pitch in where necessary, including, but not limited to, running crew, ushering, concessions and parking.

Applicants must be serious minded, highly motivated and able to commit a minimum of twelve weeks, with long working hours as many as 7 days a week. Applicants should be college students, graduate students or recent graduates, with basic training and experience in theatre already completed, prepared to take the next step towards a professional theatre career.

Notable performers
Many notable performers have enhanced the Westport Country Playhouse stage from 1930 to the present, including such well-known names as Billie Burke, Liza Minnelli, Eartha Kitt, Gene Wilder, Paul Newman, James Earl Jones, Jane Curtin, Ruth Gordon, Kitty Carlisle, Henry Fonda, Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, Olivia de Havilland, Eva Gabor, Johanna Day, Robert Sean Leonard, Michael Allinson, and Jane Fonda.

Fly system
Prior to the 2003-2005 renovation, the "Old Barn" was still a "hemp house"- with steel pipe battens suspended from fiber ropes, counterweighted by canvas sandbags. The supporting grid in the fly loft was constructed of heavy wood timbers. Stagehands operated that fly system from a gallery located stage right, above the stage manager's podium.

The Westport Country Playhouse currently has a counterweight fly system currently employing 22 battens, with space for future installations. The height from the stage to the grid is 40 ft, with an effective fly range from 3 ft to 38 ft. Each arbor is 6 feet tall with a capacity for 1200 lb. The locking rail is on the stage right wall, and the loading bridge is 32 ft above the stage floor. Although the fly system and grid are designed for loads to be hung parallel to the proscenium, smaller loads can be hung perpendicular using cables independent of the actual arbor system. These have to be flown in and out manually from the grid, so perpendicularly hung loads are generally stationary during performances.

Lighting
Lighting is controlled from a Strand 520 console in a control booth at the back of the house. For technical rehearsals, a control position can be set up in the center of the theatre. The Westport Country Playhouse's stage lighting instruments include: Color scrollers, irises, top hats, and barn doors (all lighting instrument attachments) are also available. On-stage film and projection equipment are only available through special arrangement.

Northampton and Lamport Railway

The Northampton and Lamport Railway is a standard gauge heritage railway in Northamptonshire, England. It is based at Pitsford and Brampton station, near the villages of Pitsford and Chapel Brampton, roughly 5 mi north of Northampton.

Overview
The line between Northampton and Market Harborough was finally closed (by British Rail) on 16 August 1981, the intermediate stations on the route having been closed for many years.

In 1984 (just three years after the line's closure), a group was formed by Michael William Papworth (of Northampton) with the intention of re-opening a section of the line as a heritage railway. The site opened to the public shortly afterwards. Following the granting of a Light Railway Order, the line carried its first fare-paying passengers in November 1995. The official Grand Opening Ceremony took place (just 4 months later) on 31 March 1996.

Currently, passenger trains operate on a section of line approximately 1+1/2 mi in length, between Pitsford and Brampton and Boughton.

An extension to the original length of running line was opened on 30th March 2024 along with a station including sidings and run-round loop at the former Boughton Crossing on the A5199.

A northern extension of the NLR to Spratton currently remains within the planning stage. The previous extension heading north, opened after several years' work and around £50,000 was spent on repairs to Bridge 13. The same amount (or more) will be required for Bridge 14, which will allow the opening of another short extension to Merry Tom Crossing.

The signalling system, with three working signal boxes (at Pitsford and Brampton station, Pitsford Sidings and Boughton), makes it one of the most comprehensive and detailed on any heritage railway of its size, within Preservation. The Booking Office at Pitsford and Brampton station was built using the disused Lamport signal box, originally located around 5+1/2 mi away on/up the same line. It had since been converted in such a way that it can be easily converted back into a signal box if whenever required in the future.

The Brampton Valley Way is a "linear park" offering a traffic-free route for walkers, cyclists and pedestrians, and which runs alongside the railway, separated by a stout safety fence. Access is also available to horse riders on other sections away from the railway.

The railway is open for viewing from 10:00 to 17:00 on Sundays. Train rides are available on Sundays from March to October, diesel hauled with steam-hauled trains for special events (subject to availability). Open from March to October and throughout December for Santa's visit.

Events
A number of special events take place throughout the year, the popular Santa Specials run throughout the month of December.

On 18 July 2007, the Railway at War weekend, an event held at the railway every September, was named Best Event in the 2007 Northamptonshire Renaissance Heritage Awards.

Improvement needed
This article needs to be improved. It only consists of wars and electoral politics. -JatinShah
 * Way too short as well. Compare this article to the one for the History of the People's Republic of China, which has 4 full (and still being developed) pages! 11:55, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Suggestion
One thing that is not clear to me from reading any of the wikipedia articles on India is: what was it that made Indians, belonging to many different ethnic groups, speaking many different languages, and having belonged to all sorts of various political entities over the centuries, feel sufficiently "Indian" to form one nation instead of three or a dozen or what have you? Was Hinduism the unifying thread? Sylvain1972 20:34, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Hinduism was not the common unifying link. Current day India is a creation of a number of historical incidences, almost all them directly connected to process of amalgamation of the innumerable native kingdoms, and principalities by the British. If Hinduism was the unifying power then, there would have been something similar here, before the advent of the British. --Ved from Victoria Institutions (talk) 06:47, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Limitations of the definition of ‘independence’

It is generally claimed that modern India is a sort of continuation of the British rule in all aspects. However, in actuality, even though the British presence was the powerful factor that aided the formation of India, modern India is not a absolute continuation of British India, nor can it be fully be described as an independent version of British India. For the truth is that there were many places in India that were not under the direct rule of the British. For example, native states like Travancore and Cochin were not ruled by the British, while the adjacent Malabar district was under direct British rule, as a remote district of Madras Presidency. What these native states experienced during the departure of the British was a mood (among a section of the population) to join the newly independent India; and a coercive force of threat of military intervention if they did not. So the very claims of these areas as having gained ‘freedom’ and ‘independence’ from the British could be wrong. What they experienced was only the removal of their hereditary kings and the joining with India. Yet, the people in these areas celebrate the national independence day, in absolute un-understanding of what they are doing. There is another thing also to be mentioned. There were many population groups living independently inside the area comprising modern India, which did not statutorily come under British administration. They were more or less left alone, or at least protected from outside intervention by the British. They are now commonly called ‘Tribals’. After India was formed, the national government took it on itself to proclaim them as part of the Indian nation. The total effect was that all these people came to be placed under low social status, with even their chieftains and kings being addressed with lowly words and pejoratives by even the peons of the Indian government departments. In many areas of the forest, these people refuse access to the Indians inside their areas. The forest department officials make inroads into their areas by displaying power for intimidation. The apt words for describing the creation of India would be Formation of India. --Ved from Victoria Institutions (talk) 07:06, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Commas
Many people do not know how to properly use commas. Here are a few rules.

'''1. Only put a comma between the subject and the predicate if there is there is an adjectival clause attached to the subject that already required a comma at its beginning. Examples of errors:'''

a. The sentence
 * The 21st century saw India, improve relations, with many countries and foreign unions including the United States, the European Union, Israel and the People's Republic of China.

should have been
 * The 21st century saw India improve relations with many countries and foreign unions including the United States, the European Union, Israel and the People's Republic of China.

b. The sentence
 * The economy of India, has accelerated by growing at a very rapid pace.

should have been
 * The economy of India has accelerated by growing at a very rapid pace.

c. The sentence
 * India, is now being looked at as a potential superpower.

should have been
 * India is now being looked at as a potential superpower.

'''2. When using commas to introduce an adjectival clause that requires a preceding comma, place the adjectival clause (and comma) IMMEDIATELY after the noun that it describes. Example of error:'''

a. The sentence
 * The commonwealth games scandal rocked the country in 2010, which raised questions about the credibility of the government.

should have been
 * The commonwealth games scandal rocked the country in 2010, raising questions about the credibility of the government.

In its present form, it implies that 2010, not the scandal, raised questions about the credibility of the government.

'''3. Always put an "and" at the end of a list. Example of error:'''

a. The sentence
 * The Vajpayee administration continued with privatization, reduction of taxes, a sound fiscal policy aimed at reducing deficits and debts and increased initiatives for public works.

should have been
 * The Vajpayee administration continued with privatization, reduction of taxes, and a sound fiscal policy aimed at reducing deficits and debts and increased initiatives for public works.

or
 * The Vajpayee administration continued with privatization and reduction of taxes, a sound fiscal policy aimed at reducing deficits and debts and increased initiatives for public works.

Normally, I would just make the edits myself, but I can't. Would someone please fix these mistakes wherever they appear? I guarantee that all three are abundant in this article (and beyond). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.253.128.170 (talk) 04:09, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Should the "History of the Republic of India" article be rewritten as the "History of independent India"?

NPOV in the lead
''From the 1950s to the 1980s, India followed socialist-inspired policies. The economy was shackled by extensive regulation, protectionism and public ownership, leading to pervasive corruption and slow economic growth. Beginning in 1991, significant economic reforms have transformed India into the third largest and one of the fastest-growing economies in the world.''

What's with the right-wing bias in the intro? "Shackled by regulation"? "Socialism leading to corruption and slow growth"? Don't tell me that's neutral history, it sounds like the IMF wrote that. VolatileChemical (talk) 02:36, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Return of BJP - Arun Shourie
How is this academic or academic source? "Former Union Minister and BJP leader Arun Shourie described the Centre as a “one-man government,” a presidential form of government, without checks and balances and called Modi a narcissist, machiavellian and a let-down. "

 * I can't get into it right now. Busy with RL. However, the policy is clear. The opinions of notable people can be mentioned with WP:In-text attribution. However, we would need to summarise his views fairly, in particular the substance of the criticism. We can't take just the most extreme labels and leave out the rest. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:45, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Oops, just noticed that this is the "history" article. The Modi government is not part of history yet. So the entire government can only be summarised in a very cursory way. This content should really go into Premiership of Narendra Modi, and perhaps some of it into Narendra Modi. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:49, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Kautilya3 - so, can I remove it? As we both agree, this unacademic opinion and labeling does not belong in a "history" article. (2600:1001:B11C:4B5B:CD76:6C3:6DD0:D6F3 (talk) 16:30, 18 December 2016 (UTC))

 * Kautilya3, let me know if you have any objections. If not, I will go ahead and remove it tomorrow. (2600:1017:B420:CF7D:64C2:5AC1:E1E9:536A (talk) 20:31, 21 December 2016 (UTC))
 * Yes, I have already agreed that the comment doesn't belong here. Instead of removing it, you can replace it with some more substantive comment, like the divisiveness mentioned in the reference 1 below. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 21:13, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Popular Republican Movement

The Popular Republican Movement (Mouvement Républicain Populaire, MRP) was a Christian-democratic  political party in France during the Fourth Republic. Its base was the Catholic vote and its leaders included Georges Bidault, Robert Schuman, Paul Coste-Floret, Pierre-Henri Teitgen and Pierre Pflimlin. It played a major role in forming governing coalitions, in emphasizing compromise and the middle ground, and in protecting against a return to extremism and political violence. It played an even more central role in foreign policy, having charge of the Foreign Office for ten years and launching plans for the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community, which grew into the European Union. Its voter base gradually dwindled in the 1950s and it had little power by 1954.

Origins of French Christian Democracy
In the late 19th century secular forces sought to radically reduce the power of the Catholic Church in France, especially regarding schools. The Catholic bishops mistrusted the Republic and the ideas of the French Revolution, as well as the idea of popular sovereignty, which questioned the superiority of the spiritual power over the temporal. For this reason, it supported all the conservative governments of the 19th century, notably MacMahon and his policy of "moral order".

In 1892, in his encyclical Au Milieu Des Sollicitudes, Pope Leo XIII advised the French Catholics to rally to the Republic. The previous year, another encyclical, Rerum novarum had denounced both capitalistic society and socialist ideology, and advocated the creation of Catholic popular organisations. In 1894, students founded Le Sillon (The Furrow). Its leader, Marc Sangnier, campaigned for spiritual values, democracy and social reforms. It represented the progressive wing of French Catholicism. Radical forces triumphed in 1905 and disestablished the Catholic Church and seized its properties. The very conservative Pope Pius X told the bishops to distance themselves from the state and condemned Le Sillon in his 1910 encyclical Notre charge apostolique. Better relations were restored in the 1920s, but the parties on the left (Radical, Socialist and Communist) were strongly anticlerical.

At the beginning of the 20th century, many organisations appeared: the Christian Workers Youth, the Christian Agricultural Youth, and the French Confederation of Christian Workers. In 1924, the Popular Democratic Party (PDP) was founded, but it remained a small centre-right party. However, more liberal Christian Democratic ideas arose in intellectual circles. Emmanuel Mounier founded the review Esprit (mind or spirit) which denounced fascism and passivity of the Western democracies. In the paper L'Aube (The Dawn), Francisque Gay and Georges Bidault shared similar theses. These circles participated actively in the anti-Nazi underground Resistance during the Second World War.

Foundation and height of the MRP
In 1944, some prominent French politicians wanted to rally all the non-Communist Resistance behind Charles De Gaulle. This project failed. The French Section of the Workers International (SFIO) was refounded and people from the Christian resistance movement founded the Popular Republican Movement. It claimed its loyalty to de Gaulle, who led the provisional government composed of Communists, Socialists and Christian democrats. At the November 1945 legislative election, the MRP was second (23.9%) after the French Communist Party (PCF) but ahead the SFIO.

The MRP benefited from the absence of real right-wing challengers to rally the conservative electorate. Indeed, among the three largest parties, it was the only one that was not Marxist. Furthermore, it appeared the closest to de Gaulle. It supported the reforms decided by the provisional government and inspired by the programme of the National Council of Resistance written during the war: nationalisation of banks and industrial companies such as Renault, and the creation of a welfare state. Georges Bidault remarked that the MRP was governing "in the centre with right-wing methods to attain left-wing ends" or that it was "pursuing left-wing policies with a right-wing electorate" (une politique de gauche, avec un électorat de droite).

Nevertheless, the MRP disagreed with the institutional and constitutional ideas of De Gaulle, who advocated a strong executive power, not dependent on Parliament, acting in the national interest while particular interests would be represented by the parties in Parliament. Wanting to achieve the complete integration of Catholicism in the Republic, the MRP supported the principle of parliamentary democracy against De Gaulle.

Relations with De Gaulle deteriorated. In January 1946, the president of the provisional government resigned in protest at the restoration of the "parties regime". The MRP ministers chose to stay in government. Nevertheless, the party called on voters to reject the proposed constitution in May 1946, fearing the election of a pro-Communist regime. After that, the MRP became the largest party in parliament after the June 1946 legislative election (28.2%) and Bidault took charge of the cabinet. In October 1946, the MRP, together with the SFIO and the PCF, presented a new proposed constitution. It was approved despite De Gaulle's call for a "no" vote. One year later, a Gaullist party was founded under the name of Rally of the French People (Rassemblement du peuple français or RPF).

The MRP became a mainstay of the Fourth Republic. It was allied with the Socialists and the Communists in the Three-parties alliance until spring 1947. Then, it joined the Third Force that brought together centre-left and centre-right parties against the Communists on the one hand and the Gaullists on the other hand. Two Christian Democrats led the cabinet: Georges Bidault (June–December 1946, October 1949-July 1950) and Robert Schuman (November 1947-July 1948, August–September 1948) who presented, as Foreign Minister, plans for what would become the European Community. Indeed, European unification was an important part of the MRP platform.

It is the only major French party to defend the functioning of the colonial system, including forced labour, in the post-war period.

A gradual decline
With the creation of the Gaullist RPF and the reconstruction of the conservative right in the National Center of Independents and Peasants (Centre national des indépendants et paysans, CNIP), the MRP faced challengers to represent the right-wing electorate. At the 1951 legislative election, it lost half of its 1946 voters (12.6%). Furthermore, due to its propensity for integrating conservative politicians sometimes compromised by their association with Vichy, it was sardonically nicknamed the "Machine à Ramasser les Pétainistes" ("Machine for collecting Pétainists").

The MRP also dominated French foreign and colonial policies during most of the later 1940s and 1950s. Along with the French Socialist Party, it was the most energetic supporter in the country of European integration. It was also a strong backer of NATO and of close alliance with the United States, making it the most "Atlanticist" of French political parties.

Its leaders, especially Georges Bidault and Paul Coste-Floret (foreign and colonial ministers respectively in several French coalition governments) were primary architects of France's hard-line colonial policies that culminated in long insurgencies in Vietnam (1946-1954) and Algeria (1954-1962), as well as a series of smaller insurrections and political crises elsewhere in the French Empire. The MRP eventually divided over the Algerian question in the late 1950s (with Bidault being an avid supporter of the OAS).

In terms of voters, many on its left-wing joined the Socialists and many on its right wing left for the Moderates or Gaullists.

After the 13 May 1958 crisis, the party supported De Gaulle's return and called for approval of the constitution of the Fifth Republic. It participated in the government of national unity behind De Gaulle, then broke with him in 1962 over his opposition to extending European economic integration into the realm of political integration.

Faced with the Gaullist hegemony
When De Gaulle proposed a referendum on presidential election by universal suffrage, the MRP took part in the "coalition of the no". De Gaulle dissolved the National Assembly and the MRP suffered a serious electoral defeat.

In 1963, Jean Lecanuet took the leadership in order to renew the party's image. He was a candidate at the 1965 presidential election and was third (15%) behind De Gaulle and Socialist François Mitterrand. Then he created the Democratic Centre by merging MRP members with the National Center of Independents and Peasants (CNIP). The MRP itself disbanded in 1967, while some historical personalities of the party (such as Maurice Schumann) joined the Gaullist party Union of Democrats for the Fifth Republic.

Maloja Pass

Maloja Pass (Italian: Passo del Maloja, German: Malojapass) (1815m a.s.l.) is a high mountain pass in the Swiss Alps in the canton of Graubünden, linking the Engadine with the Val Bregaglia, still in Switzerland and Chiavenna in Italy. It marks the divide between the Danube and Po watersheds. Lägh da Bitabergh is near the pass.

The road from Chiavenna to Silvaplana with distances and elevation:
 * 0 km Chiavenna 333 m
 * 10 km Castasegna (Italian-Swiss border) 696 m
 * 13 km Promontogno 802 m
 * 16 km Stampa 994 m
 * 18 km Borgonovo 1029 m
 * 19 km Vicosoprano 1065 m
 * 27 km Casaccia 1458 m
 * 32 km Maloja Pass 1815 m
 * 33 km Maloja 1809 m
 * 40 km Sils im Engadin/Segl 1798 m
 * 44 km Silvaplana 1802 m

The Maloja Pass is open in winter. However, after heavy snowfalls the road may be closed for a couple of hours or for an entire day. Even if open, the road might be covered with snow making snow/winter tires, or chains, a necessity.

The lowest point of the col, and the lowest point on the watershed between the basins of the Inn and the Po in Switzerland lies at an altitude of 1,812 m.

 * I would suppose it is meant to be Leonardo Vinci (no "da"); I don't have anything to hand to look it up in right now, but Vinci's dates make it plausible (1690-1730). --Camembert 00:28, 17 July 2005 (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 W oen. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name W oen~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:21, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:22, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Jo Mango

Jo Mango is the stage name of a British alternative folk and acoustic singer and songwriter from Glasgow, otherwise known as Jo Collinson Scott, a lecturer at the University of the West of Scotland. Jo Mango has also been the name of her band.

Career
Born in Yorkshire, Scott grew up in rural north-east Scotland. As a teenager she became involved in Aberdeen's music scene; her first band was called The Mangomen and included her twin brother. In 1999 or 2000, at the age of eighteen, she moved to Glasgow to study music and psychology, aiming to become a music therapist. There she also developed her skills via open mic nights at the Glasgow bar Nice 'n' Sleazy's, and by playing in the National Youth Jazz Orchestra and a folk band named The Old Blind Dogs.

Scott's first album, Paperclips and Sand, emerged in 2006. 2006–7 saw Scott touring internationally as a member of Vashti Bunyan's band, and in the UK on the Zero Degrees of Separation tour alongside Bunyan, David Byrne, Adem, Juana Molina, and Vetiver. At this time, Scott named key influences as 'Emiliana Torrini, Stina Nordestam, Bright Eyes, Ben Folds, Bjork, Kate Rusby, quirky indie acoustica'. Other collaborations in the years around 2010 included work with Teenage Fanclub and Admiral Fallow.

The Scotland Herald described Scott's 2013 EP When We Lived in The Crook of a Tree as "[a voice] so hushed and precise, that it sounds as if it were recorded inside your own head".

In 2012, Scott completed a PhD in musicology, with the thesis "Experiments in schizoanalysis: a new approach to analysis of conceptual music". By 2015, she had become a lecturer in commercial music at the University of the West of Scotland. She has also taught at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

In the mid-2010s, Scott's work focused on promoting ecological sustainability in music festivals, leading to her EP Wrack Lines, and a project called When Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday.

In the years around 2020, Scott was undertaking creative work relating to prisoners' rehabilitation, leading to her EP System Hold,   characterised in The Scotsman as 'featherlight piano balladry with subtle electronic beats' providing 'a chill-out meditation on themes of incarceration, monitoring and suspension of liberty'. The work also involved Scott in a music festival called Distant Voices highlighting the music of people who had experienced the criminal justice system, and her composition of a multimedia piece named A Giant on the Bridge.
