Wacky Wafers

Wacky Wafers are a candy sold by Leaf Brands, LLC. They are shaped about the size of an American half dollar coin and come in five flavors: banana, green apple, watermelon, orange, and strawberry. Sold in a clear plastic wrapper, you can see the long strip of multi-colored and flavored Wacky Wafers inside.

Before being purchased by Leaf, they were part of The Willy Wonka Candy Company line available in the United States. Wacky Wafers started with four flavors, then began to advertise a "NEW GREEN APPLE!" After green apple's introduction, other flavors followed, including pineapple, cherry, grape, and blue raspberry, among others. They started out like the product by Leaf Brands (their original incarnation), but later, they were produced in a smaller version similar to the current Bottle Caps in a box filled with the miniature fruit-flavored snacks. Their final incarnation before their discontinuation completely scrapped the wafer concept, instead making them shaped similar to Flintstones vitamins. Wacky Wafers were discontinued as part of the regular product line when Nestlé purchased the Willy Wonka brand, but they were reintroduced in 2017 by Leaf Brands, LLC.

The original candy company for Wacky Wafers (& Bottle Caps) was Breaker Confections in Itasca Illinois, a far west suburb of Chicago. Breaker confection licensed the "Willy Wonka" name so it could be used as a merchandising tie-in for the movie. In 1980, Breaker Confections changed its name to Willy Wonka Brands. Nestlé then bought the company eight years later, in 1988.

Green Bay Massacre

The Green Bay Massacre was a covert operation on 5 January 1978, in which five Jamaica Labour Party supporters were shot dead after being lured into an ambush at the Green Bay Firing Range by members of the Jamaica Defence Force.

Motivation
The victims all hailed from the Higholborn Street and Gold Street areas of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) stronghold of South Side community in downtown Kingston. They were identified as being too closely linked to the opposition JLP and were singled out as being prime targets for assassination by members of the leading Peoples National Party (then headed by the now deceased Michael Manley). The Military Intelligence Unit (M.I.U) was required by government members to take "all reasonable steps" to ensure removal either overtly or covertly of anyone who was deemed to be a threat to the island's security and to the smooth running of the PNP government.

The massacre
The operation was executed by undercover agents of the Military Intelligence Unit going into the Southside Community and infiltrating the Southside's' "POW Posse" which was a local gang operating in the area led by the now assassinated Franklyn Allen aka "Chubby Dread". There were fourteen men in this gang who were originally targeted for assassination. The men were promised jobs as drivers and bodyguards.

The men, needing the arms and funding, agreed; and in the early hours of 5 January 1978, an army ambulance driven by an MIU operative, and a minivan picked them up at the intersection of Higholborn Street and Port Royal Street, then headed west towards Port Henderson, Saint Catherine where the Green Bay artillery range is located. On arrival at the Military Base, the men were led out to a section of the range where they were given strict instructions not to move as they would be picked up by other persons who would take care of their work requirements and supply them with arms to be transported into Kingston..

As soon as the MIU operatives drove off, a specially selected team of snipers from the JDF, led by Major Ian Robinson was lying in ambush in the nearby hills. The soldiers were armed with L8 General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMG), L2A2 Self Loading Rifles and Sterling Sub-Machine Guns with Browning 9mm pistols as sidearms. On the receipt of a pre-arranged signal from one of the MIU operatives which was the firing of a single shot from his Browning 9mm pistol into the upper torso of Winston Hamilton aka "Saddle Head", the sniper team opened fire on the group of men from their nest in the hills. Five men fell dead under the hail of gunfire that erupted and the remainder fled into nearby bushes. At least one member, (Delroy Griffiths) entered the bay and was rescued by a passing fishing boat.

Those killed were all Labourites from South Side:
 * Norman Thompson aka "Gutto", a former national footballer for SANTOS football team
 * Glenroy Richards, an aspiring reggae singer
 * Trevor Clarke
 * Winston Hamilton aka "Saddle Head"
 * Martin Hamilton.

Aftermath
The official report released by the Military was that the men were shot dead after they were surprised by a special Strike Force of soldiers doing target practice with guns smuggled into the country on the Jamaica Defence Force artillery firing range at Green Bay.

This report did not stick, as the people of South Side demonstrated to protest against the killings. An official inquiry and Coroners' Inquest was later held in the Spanish Town Coroner's Court where a jury found that persons had conspired to kill the men at Green Bay and that people in the JDF were criminally responsible for the massacre. The overwhelming evidence was that the men were lured to Green Bay and ambushed by soldiers led by Major Ian Robinson and Captain Karl Marsh.

In July 1978, warrants were issued by the Supreme Court for ten members of the JDF for First Degree Capital Murder and Conspiracy to Commit Murder. These included Major Ian Robinson, Captain Karl Marsh, Lieutenants Suzanne Haik, and Frederick Frazer, Sergeant LaFlamme Schooler, Privates Desmond Grant, Errol Grant, Everald King, Colin Reid and Joel Stainrod. Those charged for the conspiracy were all acquitted in June and July 1981 on no case submissions and those charged for the actual murders were acquitted on 8 February 1982 due to insufficient evidence.

The Jamaica Labour Party refused the verdict but could do nothing to bring the perpetrators to justice as they were already acquitted by the Courts. The Michael Manley led PNP has always disavowed knowledge of the covert action that took the lives of the men and said it was purely a military operation that was later justified. The incident is considered one of the worst acts of brutality in Jamaican history.

Student center

A student center (or student centre) is a type of building found on university and some high school campuses. In the United States, such a building may also be called a student union, student commons, or union. The term "student union" refers most often in the United States to a building, while in other nations a "students' union" is the student government. Nevertheless, the Association of College Unions International (largely US-based) has several hundred campus organizational members in the US; there is no sharp dichotomy in interpretation of union in this context. The US usage in reference to a location is simply a shortened form of student union building.

History
The first student union in America was Houston Hall, at the University of Pennsylvania, which opened January 2, 1896 and remains in operation to this day. The first Ohio Union at Ohio State University was Enarson Hall. The building opened in 1911 and was the first student union to be built at a state university and the fourth of its kind in the United States. Oklahoma State University's student union opened in 1950. Subsequent additions, and renovations in 2010, have made the building one of the largest student activity centers in the world at 611000 sqft.

Some student centers carry unique origins and historical significance with some on the National Register of Historic Places. The William Pitt Union was originally constructed in 1898 as a hotel and was converted into a student center in 1956. Some student activity centers on the NRHP include O'Hara Student Center (University of Pittsburgh), McKenny Hall (Eastern Michigan University), and the Tivoli Student Union. The Tivoli Student Union was originally home to the Trevoli Brewing Company but since has been converted to serve several institutions in Denver, Colorado.

In 2007, the University of Vermont's student center became the first LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.

Other examples of student centers include West Virginia University's Mountainlair, the J. Wayne Reitz Union at the University of Florida, the Bronco Student Center at Cal Poly Pomona, the McCormick Tribune Campus Center at the Illinois Institute of Technology, and the Price Center at UC San Diego.

The first student center in the United Kingdom was at the University of Liverpool, built 1910-1913 for the Liverpool Guild of Students and listed on the National Heritage List for England from 1975. Another historically important student center is Newcastle University Students' Union Building, built in 1924 for what was then Armstrong College of Durham University and listed from 1987. Many student centers were built as part of the rapid expansion of higher education in the UK following World War II with architectural styles ranging from classical to modernist; the brutalist Dunelm House, built in 1966 for Durham Students' Union, is considered "the foremost students’ union building of the post-war era in England" and was listed in 2021. , these are the only three student centers to have been listed in England. The conversion of former polytechnics to universities in 1992 sparked further construction of student centers at the new universities, examples including the students' union buildings of Sunderland University and the University of the West of Scotland, both built in 2004.

Purpose
Broadly speaking, the facility is devoted to student recreation and socialization. A student center or student union is the community center of the college, serving students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests. A student activity center might offer a variety of programs, activities, services, and facilities.

It may contain lounges, wellness centers, dining facilities or vendors, and entertainment venues. The student center is often the center of student affairs and activities and may house the offices of the student government or other student groups. It may also act as a small conference center, with its meeting rooms rented out to student groups and local organizations holding conferences or competitions. An example of this for instance is the Michigan Union, which hosts the University of Michigan Model United Nations conference.

Depending on the school and its location it might have unique amenities such as a bowling alley, cultural or prayer rooms and unique services. At Eastern Michigan University Student Center the building offers a kiva, a round, 360-degree room patterned after spaces used in Native American cultures. The Kiva Room at EMU is used as a meeting space, for collaboration, or for musical purposes. In the Ohio State University-Ohio Union, the student union offers an interfaith prayer room which has feet washing area for Muslim students. The University of Central Florida has an eyewear and optometric consumer service location. Likewise, a Canadian example would be at the University of Waterloo where the student life centre holds many different businesses and services such as a dentist office, a used book store, piano rooms and study rooms that can be reserved for use, and a multi-faith prayer room.

Curtis Howe Springer

Curtis Howe Springer (December 2, 1896 – August 19, 1985) was an American radio evangelist, self-proclaimed medical doctor and Methodist minister best known for founding the Zzyzx Mineral Springs resort located within Southern California's Mojave Desert. He was also the host of well-known evangelical syndicated radio programs that were broadcast throughout the United States for several decades.

Springer was in actuality neither a doctor nor a minister, and he described himself as the "last of the old-time medicine men." In 1969, the American Medical Association labeled him the "King of Quacks". In the early 1970s, the federal government discovered that Springer held no legal rights to the land where Zzyzx stood; consequently, he was evicted from the space and briefly imprisoned.

Personal life
Curtis Howe Springer was born December 2, 1896, and hailed from Birmingham, Alabama. He was married to Mary Louise Berkebile. They separated at some point, and he married a woman named Helen. Springer had several children, including a daughter, Marilou, and a son, Curtis Jr., who later became a judge in Montgomery, Alabama.

Early career
He claimed to have been a private in the United States Army, where he taught boxing. In Springer's early life, he "drummed up crowds for William Jennings Bryan's tirades against demon rum" and was a sheet music vendor at Billy Sunday's evangelical services. Following World War I, Springer worked at a school in Florida. In the late 1920s, Springer moved to Chicago, where he became involved with an automotive technical school called Greer College. Springer was fired by 1930, and the school was forced into bankruptcy shortly afterward.

Throughout the 1930s, Curtis Springer gave lectures throughout the midwestern United States, claiming to either to be the "Dean of Greer College", or that he represented/attended the fictional institutions of the National Academy, The Springer School of Humanism, the American College of Doctors and Surgeons, the Westlake West Virginia College, and two non-existent osteopathy schools in Meyersdale, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Although all his lectures were "free", Springer would ask for donations part-way through his speech, and often attempt to sell audience members private courses in psychoanalysis for $25 per session. In advertisements for his appearances, he would often follow his name with M.D., N.D., D.O. or Ph.D.

Chicago was largely Springer's home base until the summer of 1934. After he applied for airtime on WGN radio, the station contacted American Medical Association's Bureau of Investigations for information regarding Springer. The AMA and Better Business Bureau quickly began to take note of his completely falsified education record. Before long, Springer had been labeled as a notorious fraud and doctor-impersonator by the medical community. An extensive article in the September 14, 1936 edition of Journal of the American Medical Association titled "Curtis Howe Springer: A Quack and His Nostrums" detailed his exploits and lack of education. The book concluded that "a most thorough search fails to show that Springer was ever graduated by any reputable college or university, medical or otherwise."

Radio career
Although denied airtime on WGN, he was successful in obtaining a twice-daily slot as a radio evangelist on Chicago's WCFL. He began broadcasting on the station in 1934. His programs were often an outlet for his support of Franklin Roosevelt and The New Deal. In addition, he would often use the radio show to sell his "medicines", including the antacid Re-Hib (confirmed by the American Medical Association to be mostly baking soda) and Antediluvian Tea ("a crude mixture of laxative herbs").

Around 1935, Springer left Chicago and began preaching on KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Health spas and Zzyzx
Springer's wife Mary encouraged him to try to launch a health spa and in 1931, he launched a resort called Haven of Rest in Fort Hill, Pennsylvania. Only six years after it first opened, he lost Haven of Rest due to non-payment of taxes. He attempted to set up other resorts and gatherings in Wilkes-Barre, Johnstown, and Mount Davis in Pennsylvania; Cumberland, Maryland; and Davenport, Iowa.

In 1944, Springer and his new fiancée Helen filed a mining claim on federal land to 12,800 acres (51.8 km2) in California's Mojave Desert, claiming a tract about 8 miles (13 km) long and 3 miles (4.8 km) wide. The land contained the remains of an 1860 Army post and a railroad station on the defunct Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad. He named the settlement Zzyzx as a gimmick to ensure that it would be "the last word" in health. Zzyzx's original encampment consisted of 20 tents, and he recruited homeless men from Los Angeles' Skid Row to build simple concrete buildings. Springer created an imitation hot springs – which he attempted to pass off as genuine – by using a boiler to heat several pools. In time, Springer erected a sixty-room hotel, a church, a cross-shaped health spa with mineral baths, a radio broadcast studio, a private airstrip dubbed "Zyport" and several other buildings which included a castle. The "Boulevard of Dreams" was a divided parkway leading to an oasis on Lake Tuendae, later identified as the habitat of the endangered Mohave chub. While building his retreat, he spent half the week in Los Angeles, still recording his radio program, and rounding up workers to build his new resort by offering room and board at Zzyzx in exchange for labor. From Zzyzx, Springer continued his syndicated radio program, at one point carried by 221 stations in the United States and 102 more abroad, mixing religious music and his own radio evangelism. Along with this came his requests that listeners send him "donations" to get his special cures for everything from hair loss to cancer. The potions were actually little more than a blend of celery, carrot and parsley juices. The Zzyzx Springs experience itself included goat milk; allegedly life-prolonging "Antedeluvian Tea"; a $25, self-administered hemorrhoid cure; more solicitations for "donations"; and a twice-daily sermon over the loudspeakers.

Legal challenges and imprisonment
By the late 1960s, Springer had begun marking off lots on the land and allowing "donors" of large sums of money to his ministry to build homes on the lots. This caught the attention of federal officials. While Springer had posted mining claims in the area, under the General Mining Law of 1872, it was still public land until such time that he validated the claims for patent by proving to federal government geologists that the claim contained minerals that could be extracted at a profit.

The federal government took Springer to court claiming he was squatting on federal land. In 1974, he was found guilty of the charge. He offered to pay $34,187 in back rent on the land to the Bureau of Land Management, but the government refused the payment and evicted him and his few hundred local followers. Springer was also convicted for making false claims that the health foods he sold would cure everything "from sore toes to cancer." He was represented in court by criminal attorney Gladys Towles Root. In the trial, Springer was convicted of false advertising. He filed several appeals on this conviction, and two years later ended up serving 49 days of a 60-day sentence.

Following the eviction, in 1976, the Bureau of Land Management allowed the California State University to manage the facilities and land in and around Zzyzx. A consortium of colleges combined funds and resources to convert the former resort into a research station called the Desert Studies Center; schools contributing to the center included California State Universities at Dominguez Hills, Fullerton, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Pomona and Northridge. After his release from prison, Springer and his wife relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he spent the remainder of his life.

Death
Curtis Springer died in Las Vegas on August 19, 1985, at the age of 88. He was buried in the Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, California. Two publications, the journal Word Ways and the book Weird California, have incorrectly reported Springer's year of death as 1986.

Space Canine Patrol Agents

The Space Canine Patrol Agents, or SCPA is a group of fictional anthropomorphic extraterrestrial canine superheroes that appeared in stories published by DC Comics.

History
The SCPA first appeared in Superboy (volume 1) #131 (July 1966). Several of the dogs were given alliterative names which also described their powers: i.e. Paw Pooch was able to increase its number of limbs, Prophetic Pup could predict the future using his "crystal ball cranium", Tail Terrier had an elastic tail, etc.

The team was something of a parody of the Legion of Super-Pets, and the Legion of Super-Heroes, with enemies such as the "Phanty Cats".

Their battle cry and sacred oath, with which they began all meetings, was
 * Big dog, big dog, bow, wow, wow!
 * We'll stop evil, now, now, now!

The first line parodies the Yale chorus: "Bulldog, bulldog, bow-wow-wow".

They are presumed to have been wiped out of existence after the Crisis on Infinite Earths. They have appeared once in a superhero limbo in Grant Morrison's Animal Man "Monkey Puzzles", where characters that have been written out of continuity reside. While visiting here, Merryman of Inferior Five stated to Animal Man that even if some of these characters may be brought back, times have changed where the Space Canine Patrol Agents (as some of the other animals) will not likely return.

However Krypto's status as the El family dog from Krypton has been restored and The Sandman: Overture issue #3 included a cameo appearance of the "Space Canine Patrol Corps".

Membership
The Space Canine Patrol Agents roster has included:

 * Tail Terrier: Has an elastic tail that can be used as a rope. "Top Dog" of the SCPA.
 * Mammoth Mutt: Can inflate to many times his size. Died in his first appearance.
 * Hot Dog: Pyrokinetic
 * Tusky Husky: Can turn one of his canine teeth into a long tusk, which is used as a lever.
 * Bull Dog: Can grow horns.
 * Paw Pooch: Can grow additional limbs.
 * Chameleon Collie: Shapeshifter
 * Prophetic Pup: Clairvoyant
 * Krypto: Similar powers to Superman.
 * Mammoth Miss: Mammoth Mutt's girlfriend, with the same powers.
 * Beam Beagle: Possessed "searchlight eyes". Died in the line of duty.
 * Rex the Wonder Dog: Similar powers and appearance to Krypto, but is an Earth dog and member of the US Army's K-9 Corps.
 * Pooch: Rex's brother who is also from the U.S. Army's K-9 Corps.
 * Streak the Wonder Dog: Alan Scott's pet dog.
 * Wonder Dog: The pet of Marvin and Wendy Kuttler who are members of the Teen Titans.
 * Streaky the Supercat: Similar powers to Superman. Streaky is the first cat to be a member of the team.

It was never confirmed which of them is the leader.

In other media
A group inspired by the Space Canine Patrol called the Dog Star Patrol appears in Krypto the Superdog, led by series original character Brainy Barker (voiced by Ellen Kennedy), who has psionic powers, and consisting of Tail Terrier (voiced by Peter Kelamis), a female incarnation of Mammoth Mutt (voiced by Kelly Sheridan), Hot Dog (voiced by Trevor Devall), Tusky Husky (voiced by Terry Klassen), Bull Dog (voiced by Michael Dobson), and Paw Pooch (voiced by Dale Wilson). Additionally, Krypto, Streaky the Supercat, and Ace the Bat-Hound become members later in the series, as do series original characters Drooly (voiced by Ty Olsson), who can create streams of saliva and use it as projectiles and rope, and Stretch-o-Mutt (voiced by Lee Tockar), who possesses elasticity and shapeshifting abilities.

License tagging for Image:Mattcapitolsmall2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mattcapitolsmall2.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Coalition for Inclusive Scouting
I see you have updated this article recently. Does the Coalition still exist? Their web address as listed in References isn't working nor is the linked address for G/LEARN. Also the sentence, "Awardees include James Dale (see Boy Scouts of America v. Dale), Matt Hill Comer.", is not written in proper English. It is missing the word "and" or something. If it is not corrected I may delete the whole sentence. If fact, I may propose that the whole article be deleted because I have no evidence that the Coalition still exists. --Jagz 17:30, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Image:Triads4a04-04.jpg
Hi. When you uploaded Image:Triads4a04-04.jpg, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with GFDL-presumed and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually GFDL-self or PD-self. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you. Aksibot 09:29, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Edit War
This is not personal, nor is it in any sense directed against Q-Notes or the LGBT community. One of my pet peeves is advertising and self promotion on Wikipedia (which is what got me into this.) While I realize you are desirous of letting people know that Q-Notes is available in their community and that it covers local events, this isn't the appropriate venue for that kind of thing.

I think it's fair that if a periodical is published in, or has established bureaus in a city, then it can be considered a local publication. Otherwise we wind up considering things like the various advert flyer publications that are also available by home delivery. I also actually get tons of political events that advertise local events. I wouldn't want to include them either.

It is also a problem for me that you are the editor of Q-Notes. that certainly makes you anything but a neutral party. Digitalican (talk) 00:51, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Regardless of my position at the paper, on the point of "local" - Q-Notes is printed in Durham and hand-delivered by a staff person of the paper who lives in the Triangle to physical locations and news boxes across the Triangle area. Matt (talk) 04:58, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Your solution with respect to the N&O in Durham is fine with me. I am, after all, a minimalist. The less in any article, the better. Thanks. Digitalican (talk) 05:20, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:AlexniniarrestNR.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:AlexniniarrestNR.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too.

Talk:Mohammed Haydar Zammar

Lacking Citations and noting possible biased material
Under the section "An al-Qaida recruiter" there is an un-referenced sentence stating that on Sept. 11, 2001 Mr. Mohammed Zammer was living in Boston. This should have a source. I did note that I found in another reference on this page that it states he was living in Germany at the time. Having that only other source reference doesn't help me to conclusively state where he was living at the time it does make me question the un-cited Boston statement. The sentence about leaving shortly after Sept. 11 should also be referenced.

Several sentences within this same paragraph seem to be strongly biased or libellous and should either be cited or removed. Ed M isnot edm (talk) 09:34, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hamumu

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete. All keep votes are from very new users. CDC  (talk)  23:18, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Hamumu
An internet game website alexa ranked 445,076. It was created almost entirely by one IP and reads like advertising. Especially obvious is that the article incessantly links to the website at every mention of "Hamumu." Delete as advertising and non-notable. --Dmcdevit·t 23:47, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. vanity. Elfguy 23:51, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. vanity. Marcika 00:17, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It didn't originally have constant links to the Hamumu site; read the first few versions. After all, it is a newer article. It was also very recently vandalized. Drgamer 00:21, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * User's sixth edit (others were in the article itself). Dmcdevit·t 18:40, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * What? You look at select few parts of my edits? I tell you, I havn't posted all my edits in that article... Drgamer 20:38, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, the other was to ask a question about about that article on the help desk. It's plainly there for everyone to see. Dmcdevit·t 20:55, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * None of those reasons speak to the merit, or notability, of subject itself. --Dmcdevit·t 21:25, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete advertising. JamesBurns 08:43, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I apologise in advance for the moderately long message, but I really don't understand why this is even up for deletion. I see three reasons stated: advertising, vanity, and "non-notability." Advertising I find listed on the WP:NOT page, and I quote: "Articles about companies and products are fine if they are written in an objective and unbiased style." Looking over the article, I can not find anything that is not written in such an unbiased and objective style. I only find the word "fun" occurring in two places, one referring to the "Fun Pack" addon and the other as quoted: "Gamelets are too small to charge for, but still offer up some fun," which does not really break the objective style, and no other "promotional" language is found anywhere. As for the constant linking, that was added in unasked-for by someone other than the original author and has since been removed. On these grounds, I challenge the accusations of advertising. Vanity I find on the Vanity_page page. I quote from near the beginning: "Usually, vanity authors write about themselves, their significant others, or their school teachers. While an article about a little-known company, say, should not automatically be taken as a vanity page, it is preferable for the initial author not to be an owner or employee of or an investor in the company..." The original author of this article, drgamer (unless I am extremely mistaken) is none of these, and benefits nothing from having this article. The only other place I see where it can even be misconstrued as "vanity" is in the staff section, which I think is, in fact, pertinent. On these grounds, I challenge the accusations of vanity. And finally "non-notability," by which I assume you mean non-importance. Importance is discussed on the Importance page, and I quote: "An article is important and deserving of inclusion in Wikipedia if any one of the following holds true: 1. there is clear proof that a reasonable number of people (eg. more than 500 people worldwide) are or were concurrently interested in the subject..." There are currently over 500 users signed up at the Hamumu forums. Considering that Mike Hommel makes a living from making his games and hasn't starved yet, I conclude that his business far outstrips a mere 500 customers. Thus I would conclude that this article fulfills Wikipedia's official policy regarding importance. Sorry again for the long post. Frogdude 10:49, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
 * User's first edit. Dmcdevit·t 18:40, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm not the author of the article, but I am the owner of the website. That alone pretty much makes it not vanity!  I'm a well-known developer in the indie community, and I see no reason why my company should not be referenced on the Wikipedia as should any others well-known in that large space.  My game SPISPOPD has had a Wikipedia page for a long time (note: I also didn't make that page, though I made some edits), and it would make sense to have a page for the developer of it as well, given the linky nature of the wikipedia.  I think this is of benefit to people who are using Wikipedia for what it is - an encyclopedia of information.  If anyone has a desire to see it sounding less like advertising (it sounds unbiased to me!), they are certainly welcome to make edits.  I wouldn't have any problem with chopping the Staff section down - talking about the cats sounds like vanity, but certainly no reason to toss the page. 63.16.208.227 14:36, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
 * User's only edit. Dmcdevit·t 18:40, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Clean up the spammy parts and then it's as valid as any other article on a business. Geoff Howland 14:49, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
 * User's second edit. Dmcdevit·t 18:40, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Note: All of the keep voters look like sockpuppets, or at least users who seem to catch on really quickly and make vfd votes as their first edits. Dmcdevit·t 18:40, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * I sincerely hope you are not implying that the fact that it is being supported by people who have little to no other Wikipedia activity yet somehow negates the value of the arguments presented. Especially considering that all the "delete" votes other than the first are single-worded and offer no explanation, whereas all the "keep" so far offer at least something. Frogdude 18:50, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Let's see the discussion was going fine: delete, delete, delete, keep (by the author, it's customary), delete, and then on the same day, within four hours of each other three keeps from accounts which were just created and then all happen to make their first edits voting on VFD, with remarkably similar arguments. I'll try to assume good faith that you are not all sockpuppets, but remember, "Anonymous and new users are welcome to contribute to the discussion, but their votes may be discounted." I would close the discussion and delete it right now if I wasn't already the nominator. --Dmcdevit·t 19:12, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * I see how that would be suspicious, but I merely ask that the arguments presented not be discarded without being even momentarily considered. I don't see any good argument for deletion, and I see plenty against it. Frogdude 19:45, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
 * You don't see a single good argument? Well I haven't seen any good claims to notability. Try to defend the Alexa ranking (445,076), if you can. And see if you can fit it into the guidelines and Wikipedia is not a web guide. --Dmcdevit·t 20:55, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * I apologize, I had never seen the guidelines page before. So that makes one good argument. Although I recommend you look at what Mike Hommel said again, including: "I'm a well-known developer in the indie community, and I see no reason why my company should not be referenced on the Wikipedia as should any others well-known in that large space." Frogdude 22:31, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure you are Mike Hommel. All four of you, including the creator of the article. Or else how did you happen upon an article about your company here when you appear to be an amateur here in the exact weeklong period that the article is up for deletion. Don't play dumb. Also, where do you get off saying Mike Hommel "makes a living" from this game and "hasn't starved," and that "there are currently over 500 users" if you are not him? How are you in a position to speak intelligently of such things if you are only some dipassionate Wikipedian voting on an article, and not the same person as the rest of the keep voters? And still all of your contributions have been only to this page. How can I conclude otherwise? --Dmcdevit·t 22:56, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

Toxteth Park Cemetery

Toxteth Park Cemetery is a graveyard on Smithdown Road, Liverpool, United Kingdom. It was opened on Monday 9 June 1856. It was the responsibility of the Toxteth Park Burial Board, which had been established by at least 1855.

The opening ceremony was performed by the then Lord Bishop of Chester, and the first interment took place, that of an Elizabeth Watling on 17 June 1856.

The cemetery was built with consecrated and unconsecrated areas, and the layout, featuring walks, was by a "Mr Gay of Bradford cemetery".

It was taken over by Liverpool Corporation on 1 January 1905.

Records
The cemetery's records are held on microfilm in the Liverpool Record Office, and provide the Burial Registers and the Order Books.

Structures
The cemetery is itself Grade II listed and incorporates a derelict chapel, a derelict mason's yard and a pair of lodges or gatehouses at the Smithdown Road entrance. A significant number of obelisk and Celtic cross gravestones are also listed. The cemetery also contains Toxteth War Memorial.

To the rear, the cemetery bounds the back gardens of houses on Arundel Avenue, and can be accessed through turnstiles in an ornate gateway set back from that road at the end of a short lane. On the easterly lodge at the main entrance at Smithdown Road there is a sign with provision for the insertion of digits indicating the time of evening at which these rear entrance turnstiles will be closed, but for some time this sign has been disused, as this lodge also appears to be (the westerly lodge being inhabited and, as of spring 2009, up for auction.)

Grade II listed memorials include those of Sir John Bent, Eleanora and Willam Gillespie, Hetherington family, Dr James Sheridan Muspratt, Thomas Pennington, Robert Rodgers, Agnes and John Rowe and Patience Simpson

In 2009 a ceremony organised by Sons of Confederate Veterans, allegedly a Neo-Confederate organisation, rededicating the grave of Irvine Bulloch

War Graves
The cemetery contains the war graves of 274 Commonwealth service personnel, 227 from World War I and 45 from World War II. The largest group are in a War Graves plot containing 69 graves, the names of those in the plot being listed on a Screen Wall curb memorial, while other graves are dispersed throughout the cemetery. Fifty of the British dead are soldiers of the King's Liverpool Regiment.

John Hulley's grave
Buried in the cemetery (Grave G493) is John Hulley, founder of the Liverpool Gymnasium and the National Olympian Association, who died in 1873. Revival of interest in his role in Olympic history was initiated by an article (2001) in the Journal of Olympic History entitled "The Mystery of John Hulley". Subsequently, his grave was rediscovered in 2008; it was badly damaged in that the headstone had been removed from the main covering stones and the grave was in a very bad condition from 130 years of atmospheric pollution.

A Memorial Fund was set up to raise money for the restoration of Hulley's grave and increase awareness of his part in the founding of the British Olympic movement. This took several months but thanks to generous donations from the International Olympic Committee, the British Olympic Association, and members of the public, sufficient funds were raised to engage a stonemason.

Messrs Welsbys of Liverpool renovated the grave and brought it back to its original condition and a re-dedication ceremony was held in 2009.

Neighbours
At the eastern end of the high southern boundary wall, where the cemetery ends and the grounds of a supermarket, a medical clinic, and modern houses begin, the high wall continues but the style of brickwork can be seen to change; this area now occupied by the aforementioned modern buildings was previously the Toxteth Park Workhouse, which was built in 1859 by the Toxteth Park Board of Guardians as part of the West Derby Union. In 1923 the workhouse changed its name to the Smithdown Road Institution; in 1930 the Poor Law was abolished and the Union was disbanded, so the hospital was taken over by Liverpool Corporation. In 1933, its name was changed to Smithdown Road Infirmary, and in about 1950 its name was changed again, to Sefton General Hospital. Most of it was demolished in 2001 but a part of the original workhouse hospital, Arundel House, still stands.

James Dunham

James C. Dunham was a mass murderer who, on the night of May 26, 1896, killed his wife, her family, and two of that family's servants in Campbell, California. He disappeared during the intense, ensuing manhunt and never has been positively identified since then.

Background
Ada Wells had been a schoolteacher; her husband Oscar C. Wells, retired from military service, had come to California in 1867 for his health and died in 1883. They owned the orchard in Campbell. She remarried to McGlincy in approximately 1889 or 1890.

Colonel Richard McGlincy arrived in California approximately in 1888 and held several public offices there, including Deputy Assessor of Santa Clara County, after retiring from service in the Confederate Army. He lived on the 54 acre orchard approximately 1+1/2 mi south of Campbell with his wife, Ada Wells, her two adult children, Hattie and James, and several servants.

His stepdaughter, Hattie Wells, once was engaged to be married to Charles Dunham, the younger brother of James Dunham. However, she married James instead in 1895 and they lived together with McGlincy. She was a graduate of the California State Normal School and recently had given birth to their son Percy Osborne on May 4.

James Dunham was not highly regarded; at the time of his marriage to Hattie, he was undergoing a divorce from a young lady with whom he had eloped recently. After the murders, newspapers asserted he "[had] done nothing toward the support of his wife" since their marriage; contemporary coverage noted he had started a short-lived bicycle business in Stockton and worked as a foreman in his father-in-law's fruit orchards. The couple were both bicyclists, having ridden together from Stockton to Sacramento in August 1895. In Sacramento, after Hattie's jewelry was stolen, investigators concluded that Dunham had pawned the items while she slept. Most recently, he had enrolled at Santa Clara College aged 30, enrolling in a four-year course in the classics starting in February 1896, with the stated intention to pursue a career in law afterwards.

Murders in May
On Monday, May 25, Dunham withdrew his life's savings from the bank, approximately $1,000, and the next day hid a bicycle in the brush by the dry creek bed, a few hundred yards from the house. Contemporary news coverage called these actions premeditation.

May 26–27, 1896
Using an axe and two revolvers, Dunham murdered six people that night:

 * Hattie Wells Dunham (26), his wife
 * Minnie Schlesser (28), a household servant
 * Ada Wells McGlincy (53), his mother-in-law
 * James Wells (22), his stepbrother-in-law
 * Robert Brisco (30), a household servant
 * Colonel Richard Parran McGlincy (56), his stepfather-in-law

On the night of May 26, Col. McGlincy left the house for a few hours to attend a meeting of the American Protective Association with his stepson, James Wells, and one of the farmhands, George Schaible. Investigators believe that Dunham did not arrive until around 10 PM that night, when the remaining occupants were getting ready for bed. First, he gagged and strangled his wife, Hattie Wells, then killed the servant Minnie Schlessler with an ax blow to the head as she rushed in from her adjoining room upon hearing the racket. A holographic note was found next to Hattie's bed, which read "Please say good bye for me to my dear mother brother and step father", implying that she had been given a short time to prepare for her death, although there is suspicion that Dunham prepared it himself. He took the ax downstairs and killed Ada Wells McGlincy, Hattie's mother; according to the coroner's inquest, one blow each from the ax was sufficient to kill Schlessler and McGlincy, but he had continued to crush their skulls with several more strikes.

Afterwards, he went through the house and took all the photographs of himself, certain papers, and two revolvers, a .38 and a .45; the one tintype photograph he left was later used on the reward poster. Two men "entirely oblivious of the noiseless tragedy which had taken place" came to the orchard that night to steal cherries; they later recalled that while watching the house for any sign they had been seen, they saw the lights go out and then, ten minutes later, Dunham came out to smoke a cigarette while sitting on the porch.

When McGlincy returned with James Wells and Schaible around 11 PM or midnight, McGlincy instructed Schaible to open the barn and throw down some hay for the animals stabled inside. As Schaible was finishing these last chores, he heard gunshots from the main house and hid himself in the hayloft, watching the scenes unfold. After McGlincy had opened the front door, Dunham, lying in wait, had struck him a glancing blow on the head with the ax. Wells, following behind McGlincy, began a short struggle with Dunham that ended when Dunham drew his revolver and slew him with it; the disorder in the entry hall bore mute witness to the ferocity which ceased with the five bullets found in Wells. Meanwhile, McGlincy's hat had cushioned the ax blow somewhat, and upon recovering his wits, he ran through the house and escaped through a rear window, shouting for help as he headed towards the barn and a shack where the hired men slept.

McGlincy was able to reach the shack and held the door closed before Dunham arrived, calling out "Come out, Mac; come out, I want to see you. ... I am bound to have you, anyhow. Bob [Brisco], come out here; I want you too, and you, too, Schaible." The wounded McGlincy offered a defiant response: "I won't come out, Jim; I have two bullets in me now. Put up your revolver." Dunham fired the revolver blindly twice into the cabin door. As Brisco jumped out the cabin's back window and began running away, Dunham ran off in pursuit and shot him twice; McGlincy took advantage of the brief distraction and started back towards the house, but had made only twenty paces before Dunham returned and killed him with a final shot to the heart.

Survivors
The survivors were Dunham's and Hattie's 3-week-old son and a farmhand, George Schaible, who had hidden in the barn during the massacre. Dunham had assumed that Schaible was already resting in the cabin with Brisco, and after checking the cabin for him, entered the barn and ascended the ladder, where Dunham struck a match, looking for Schaible, who was crouched in the hay loft. However, Dunham failed to spot Schaible and left soon afterwards, taking a horse from the barn.

Dunham's motives are unknown. According to an acquaintance of Dunham's, he may have killed everyone in the family to ensure his son would have an uncontested claim to the farm. However, it was discovered later that Col. McGlincy had an unmarried sister working in government service.

Manhunt
Although investigators conducted an extensive manhunt throughout Santa Clara County, California, Dunham was never found and the case remains officially open. The hunt was fueled by a promised US$11000 1896 reward for his capture, dead or alive.

On May 28, he was spotted on the road to Mount Hamilton with a "badly scratched" face and feet inexplicably shod in gunnysacks, but heavy fog prevented his arrest that night. "Patchen", the horse he had stolen from the farm for his escape, was found in Indian Gulch on the morning of May 29, formed by Smith Creek. The manhunt also had found pieces of Dunham's clothing as well as recent campfires. There was evidence that Dunham had broken into a cabin and was still present near Mount Hamilton on May 30. However, because "a shot was distinctly heard shortly after the finding of the horse, and ... no one can be found who fired that shot" and "the buzzards ... keep up their circling over one particular place in [Indian Gulch]" it was thought that Dunham had died by suicide, although his body had not been found.

On June 1, it was reported that Dunham had purchased supplies and the manhunt began anew. A rifle and pistol were stolen from a cabin in Glenwood, giving rise to theories that Dunham had escaped from Mount Hamilton and was continuing south. On June 2, the sheriffs' posse took a train to Hollister, pursuing news overnight that Dunham had been spotted heading for Quién Sabe Valley; they thought he was moving by night and seeking help from Mexican communities that were not aware of his crimes. The next sighting was at Hayes Station on June 4, by a pedestrian who "knew nothing of Dunham, but without being questioned gave them all the details regarding clothes, shoes and hat". At that point, it was believed he was seeking shelter from friends in Tulare County; a rancher near Merced believed he had shared a meal with Dunham, which turned out to be a false accusation.

By June 7, the pursuit was being discontinued; some thought he had never made it as far as Fresno County. It was believed that he effected at least part of his escape via bicycle rather than horse, as was common during that time period; Dunham was a long-distance cyclist, and a horse believed to be the one he used to make his initial escape, stolen from James Wells, was found a day and a half after the murders. A bicyclist matching his description was reported as arriving in Bakersfield on the morning of May 29.

Mysterious fate
Rumors have persisted that he escaped to Cuba or Mexico.

Multiple men have been arrested after being misidentified as Dunham. In early June 1896, a man reported as Dunham had asked for food near San Miguel, which turned out to be a different outlaw. Another suspect was arrested in 1897 in Mexico based on a cursory description; he was cleared of suspicion. In 1901, Charles Franklin Crill was arrested in Wichita, Kansas, and brought to San Jose, suspected of being Dunham. The next year, Dunham was claimed to be living among the Navajo. After a shootout in Arizona, a man was arrested in September 1904; after being told his wounds were fatal, he confessed to being Dunham. In September 1908, a Texas man was identified as Dunham; William Hatfield was brought to San Jose and released in November after a preliminary hearing.

As the trail grew cold, many of the searchers believed he had died by suicide. Skeletal remains have been examined to see if they had come from Dunham, starting in 1898. Similar stories followed in the ensuing years, including the discovery of bones in the Pacheco Pass area,  at least one set which disappeared, possibly in hopes of securing the reward. These examinations persisted for at least 40 years.

Several discredited alternate theories have been advanced, postulating that Dunham had been killed to draw the blame from the real murderer(s).

Aftermath
The funeral for the four members of the McGlincy-Wells family was held on May 29; one of the floral offerings from the Independent Order of Odd Fellows quoted Romans 12:19: "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord." They were buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in a family plot with Oscar Wells and Robert Brisco; five of the six headstones (all save Oscar's) echo that verse: "Vengeance" (Brisco) "is mine" (McGlincy) "I will repay" (Ada Wells) "saith" (Hattie) "the Lord" (James).

The infant Percy Osborne Brewer (née Dunham) was adopted by Mrs. M. T. Brewer in San Francisco, a sister of Ada Wells McGlincy.

The McGlincy house remained until the 1960s when it was torn down by the owner, Steve Veitenheimer, who owned the last parcel of McGlincy's orchard. The house was approximately where the end of Veitenheimer Lane is today.

Help
lkcl16oct2005: hi indolering, okay: the OSI model goes kinda out the window a bit, because of the emulation side. NetBIOS _used_ to be layer 2: some companies, such as lanier business systems even produced NetBIOS network cards - real hardware!

but NetBIOS over TCP/UDP definitely makes it now "layer 2".

then you have SMB as a service on that.

_then_ you have MSRPC using the SMB service as a transport (ncacn_np)

_then_ you have MSRPC services - running not just on the ncacn_np transport, but also over ncacn_nb - netbios :) - and ncacn_ip_tcp - over TCP/IP.

it's all a bit grey as to what's actually what layer - references the OSI model i believe would just add confusion.

if you still believe it would help, even though the areas are a bit grey - let me know.

Talk:Galvanic anode

It should not be merged, but referenced. Cathodic protection is a process that a galvanic anode is only a part of and is conceptually different. --Dennis 00:00, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

I concur. There are two main types of CP. Use of galvanic anodes is one, and the other is current cathodic protection(ICCP). This uses an AC powered rectifier and has many operational differences from the galvanic anode CP. FYI I'm a CP expert from NACE International and use both galvanic and ICCP CP systems. --Derek 12 September 2005

On the other hand I am not an expert but I got here from sacrificial anode. I would have thought that sacrificial anode should be merged with galvanic anode, but the article on sacrificial anodes seems to think that the term can be applied to plating anodes (were the metal is not sacrificed but transferred to the cathode). Is this an error or is it a usage that I have never met?

I think that sacrificial anode, as it applies to cathodic protection should be redirected to galvanic anode, however I don't know enough about the plating process and the terminology in that industry. Derek Cafe Nervosa 23:14, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

 * == Merger proposal ==

This appears to be a bit of an old thread, but I'd like to propose that the articles on galvanic anodes and and sacrificial anodes be merged. They are basically the same thing and the articles are duplicating the same basic information The 'galvanic anode' article is not related to the plating industry, it's just an alternative term for 'sacrificial anode' in my opinion. I would think 'galvanic' is probably the more satisfactory term, technically, so the text on 'sacrificial' should be merged into 'galvanic' and a redirect added to 'sacrificial'. Apau98 (talk) 07:11, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

 * I've copied the text from Sacrificial anode and Galvanic anode, revised it and added references. A draft copy is available here. Since there's been no objection, I'll copy it into the live article in the next few days. Apau98 (talk) 06:16, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Since there's been no discussion or objections, I completed the merge today. Apau98 (talk) 08:10, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The section on "Cost effectiveness" has not been unchanged for quite a while, however it has no supporting info and is not general enough when it mentions removing a ship from the water. I plan to write a more balanced section that is based on the reality that galvanic CP is widely deployed by real people and firms spending actual money, thereby determining it is cost effective for them. Any objections? Cafe Nervosa (talk) 21:11, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Realism of example?
For example, if a particular design shows that a pipeline 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) long needs 10 anodes, then approximately one anode per kilometere would be more effective than putting all 10 anodes at one end or in the centre.

Can so few anodes provide protection over such a long pipeline? I would think that currents and potentials would be far more localized than this.

89.217.15.89 (talk) 09:41, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Anode Rod
Perhaps a paragraph or two should be said about the implementation of anode rods in household hot water tanks. Also typically implemented of Aluminum/Zinc or Magnesium, they are designed to be sacrificial materials intended to reduce corrosion of the tank walls and extend the life of the tank. Plus their recommended maintenance/replacement. This may be the most familiar source of galvanic protection to most consumers. Images of rods (before and after) might also be good examples to show. 2600:6C48:7006:200:B056:6066:1296:EF0B (talk) 23:01, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Is this even real?
I mean, I get the theory. Neat. But in practice. Has this ever been proven? All I can find is YouTube examples using nails and stuff in salt water and it appears the ones with sacrificial anodes got MORE rusty than the ones without. I am skeptical that this is even real and not just some woowoo that people believe works. Is there conclusive proof anywhere for this even working? 121.210.33.50 (talk) 07:26, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication Handicapped Children

The University of North Carolina TEACCH Autism Program creates and disseminates community-based services, training programs, and research for individuals of all ages and skill levels with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), to enhance the quality of life for them and their families across the lifespan.

Overview
The Treatment and Education of Autistic and Related Communication Handicapped Children (TEACCH) philosophy recognizes autism as a lifelong condition and does not aim to cure but to respond to autism as a culture. Core tenets of the TEACCH philosophy include an understanding of the effects of autism on individuals; use of assessment to assist program design around individual strengths, skills, interests and needs; enabling the individual to be as independent as possible; working in collaboration with parents and families.

Strategies
The emphasis on individualization means that TEACCH does not distinguish between people with very high skill levels and those with learning disabilities. Strategies used are designed to address the difficulties faced by all people with autism, and be adaptable to whatever style and degree of support is required. TEACCH methodology is rooted in behavior therapy, more recently combining cognitive elements, guided by theories suggesting that behavior typical of people with autism results from underlying problems in perception and understanding. The strategies put forward by TEACCH do not work on the behavior directly, but on its underlying reasons, such as lack of understanding of what the person is expected to do or what will happen to them next, and sensory under- or overstimulation. By addressing communication deficits, the person will be supported to express their needs and feelings by means other than challenging behavior.

Working from the premise that people with autism are predominantly visual learners, intervention strategies are based around physical and visual structure, schedules, work systems and task organization. Individualized systems aim to address difficulties with communication, organization, generalization, concepts, sensory processing, change and relating to others. Whereas some interventions focus on addressing areas of weakness, the TEACCH approach works with existing strengths and emerging skill areas.

Five Basic Principles
To start, there lies an importance in creating structured and supportive physical surroundings to support student success. Next, it is recommended to display a physical schedule that can be accessed and referred to by the student throughout their day. Thirdly, the establishment of expectations and goals to support and encourage independence from the student with their tasks. Fourthly, a strong emphasis of a consistent routine. Finally, the incorporation of visual-cues for reminders.

International recognition
Most of the literature is of North American origin. The adoption of the TEACCH approach has been slower elsewhere. In 1993, Jones et al. stated that there was insufficient use of the TEACCH approach in the UK to include it in their study of interventions. In 2003 it was reported that Gary B. Mesibov and Eric Schopler describe TEACCH as the United Kingdom's most common intervention used with children with autism. In Europe and the United States, it is also a common intervention.

TEACCH runs conferences in North Carolina and organizes programs throughout the US and in the UK.

Program effectiveness
In '...A Guide for Practitioners', Jordan describes the literature on TEACCH as providing 'very positive, but not remarkable, results'. A 2013 meta-analysis indicated that TEACCH has small or no effects on perceptual, motor, verbal, cognitive, and motor functioning, communication skills, and activities of daily living. There were positive effects in social and maladaptive behavior, but these results required further replication due to the methodological limitations of the pool of studies analyzed.

History
The TEACCH approach was developed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, originating in a child research project begun in 1964 by Eric Schopler and Robert Reichler. The results of this pilot study indicated that the children involved made good progress, and consequently state finance supported the formation of Division TEACCH.

Founded in 1971 by Eric Schopler, TEACCH provides training and services geared to helping autistic children and their families cope with the condition. Gary B. Mesibov, a professor and researcher on UNC's TEACCH program since about 1979, was director of the program from 1992 to 2010.

With over 40 years of experience working with autistic people, TEACCH methodology continues to evolve, refining its approach. It is a "pioneering" program for assisting with ASD education, research and service delivery for children and adults.

Al Sims

Allan Eugene Sims (born April 18, 1953) is a Canadian former professional hockey player and head coach in the National Hockey League (NHL). He played ten seasons in the NHL between 1973 and 1983 with the Boston Bruins, Hartford Whalers, Los Angeles Kings. He featured in three Stanley Cup Finals with the Bruins (1974, 1977, 1978).

After retiring he turned to coaching, and remained in this role from 1988 to 2016 in various minor leagues. Sims also served as the head coach of the San Jose Sharks in the NHL during the 1996-97 season.

Playing career
In 1972, Sims was the second-round (and first-ever) draft pick of the New York Raiders of the World Hockey Association, but chose to sign with the Boston Bruins who had drafted him in the third round. At Cornwall, Ontario, in Junior Hockey he had played with Bob Murray, a rushing defenceman. When he played for Boston he was paired for two years with the greatest rushing defenceman of all time, Bobby Orr. He played for Boston and its American Hockey League affiliate for six seasons, and then for the Hartford Whalers for the next two.

Coaching career
After Sims' retirement from the NHL, he played and coached hockey with Fife Flyers in Scotland. Later he coached in the International League and won the Turner Cup with the Fort Wayne Komets in 1993. Sims was named assistant coach under Ron Wilson with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim 1993-1996 before he became head coach of the San Jose Sharks for the 1996–97 NHL season.

Sims then became head coach of the Milwaukee Admirals of the IHL for three years, from 1998 to 2000, moved on to the Central Hockey League for four years and to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins as an assistant coach for a year. In 2007–2008, Sims coached the Fort Wayne Komets of the new IHL to his second Turner Cup championship, beating the Port Huron Icehawks 4 games to 3 after a triple-OT seventh and deciding game. After that, he led them to another Turner Cup in the 2008–09 season. In the following year (2009–10), Sims led the Komets to their third straight (and his personal fourth straight, counting the 1992–93 season) Turner Cup. With the team returning to the CHL after the IHL dissolved, it was eliminated in the second round of the 2010-11 postseason before winning the league in 2011–12. However, the Komets failed to make the postseason in 2012–13, with the team in the ECHL, his final season as their head coach. Sims' final minor league head coaching job came with the Evansville IceMen of the ECHL; he took over during the 2014–15 season and coached them in 2015–16, failing to make the postseason either year. The team was declared dormant in 2016–17 in preparation for moving elsewhere, which turned out to be Jacksonville, Florida in 2017–18, and a new head coach took over.
