Turton doubling

Turton doubling is a manoeuvre in chess in which a piece moves along a line (rank, file or diagonal), then a similarly-moving piece moves onto the same line in front of it, then this second piece moves again along this line, in the opposite direction to that of the first. Use of the term is effectively limited to the field of chess problems, although it happens in real games a well (especially when White moves the bishop on d3 back to let the queen in front to threaten Qh7#, and analogous for Black).

The idea can be understood in reference to the problem to the right, the first to demonstrate the manoeuvre, composed by its eponym, Henry Turton. A mate in three, the solution is 1.Bh8 (threatening 2.Qa3#) 1...b4 2.Qg7 Ra8 (defending against 3.Qa7#) 3.Qxb2#. The bishop moves along the diagonal a1-h8, then the queen moves onto that same diagonal, then the queen moves again in the opposite direction to the bishop.

Specific types of Turton doubling are the Loyd-Turton, in which the first piece moved is of greater value than the second; and the Brunner-Turton, in which the two pieces are of equal value. Cases such as Turton's original, in which the piece moved first is of lesser value than the second, have no special name.

Turton doubling can be contrasted with another form of doubling, Zepler doubling.

 * "during the Battle of Ipswich in Wales"? This edit seems unnecessary, possibly inaccurate. Also there wasn't a battle in Ipswich in this year. Also Ipswich isn't in Wales. Predglyn 15:10 GMT 25 August, 2005

Did Gregory XV become pope the 9th or 14th of February, 1621 ?
These pages state that he became Pope the 9th. The wikipedia page "list of popes" also states that he became Pope the 9th.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07004b.htm http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/pope0234.htm

This page claims he became Pope the 14th. One of these pages must be wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kease (talk • contribs) 01:19, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Now, that's the kind of small factual discrepency that most Wikipedians can work out on a Talkpage, without a big bumpersticker plastered across the article. I came here seeing if I could help, but the fact is too minute to bother with. Anyone can check Ludwig Pastorv against Catholic Encyclopedia. a "Google vote" might be considered less than definitive. --Wetman 01:05, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Gregory XV was elected on the 9th, but he was installated on the 14th. (Catholic Encyclopedia, J.N.D. Kelly Dictionary of Popes, Salvador Miranda). This user wanted to give the installation days as "papacy began dates".Kask 15:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

musical trade-off
what about bands like stratovarius and children of bodom...would the volley of guitar and keyboard solos be considered trade offs too?--66.146.147.120 16:47, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I've just deleted this section as irrelevant to the subject matter of the article - it might be suitable for a dictionary entry but not here:
 * In music, the term "tradeoff" can also refer to solo instruments that swap solo duties, such as musical groups with two lead guitarists, who both share guitar solos. The term is used frequently in heavy metal, where bands often feature "twin guitars", such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Megadeth, and Slayer, all of which feature lead guitar song sections that may involve four or more "tradeoff" solos. A more limited number of bands, such as Dream Theater, also implement the tradeoff with keyboards and lead guitar.

De Loof "cite"
There has been an attempt to get the De Loof paper (Longevity and aging in insects: Is reproduction costly; cheap; beneficial or irrelevant? A critical evaluation of the ‘‘trade-off’’ concept, 2011) used as a cite for the meaning of a trade off. This is, I suspect, entirely mischievous since the De Loof paper takes its definition of trade off from this very Wikipedia article. JackAidley (talk) 13:00, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Dr. Peeters's comment on this article
Dr. Peeters has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"...In economics, a trade-off is sometimes associated with (instead of: expressed as) an opportunity cost ...

Please replace "The old saying ... few stocks" by:

In financial economics, a tradeoff exists between risk and return. By buying stocks instead of bonds, for instance, the return is higher since stocks have a higher risk. Investing in bonds tends to be less risky, but it renders a lower return.

Please delete the whole section titled "tradeoffs in economics". Opportunity costs are not only associated with tradeoffs.

In the example of demography, we need a reference to a scientific article."

Dr. Vanzetti has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"Trade-offs are central to economics, which is concerned with the allocation of scarce resources to satisfy unlimited wants. This article is not that helpful in drawing that out.

A better definition of opportunity costs might be: "An opportunity cost is the cost of an alternative that must be forgone in order to pursue a certain action. Put another way, the benefits you could have received by taking an alternative action." In the example, for a person going to a basketball game, their opportunity cost is watching a particular television program at home, not the money and time expended."

trade study section relocated here for reworking
As it currently stands, the section on trade studies provided interesting information about decisionmaking and algorithms, but it didn't specifically discuss trade-offs. Not sure this article is best place for this section. OnBeyondZebrax • TALK 10:33, 10 June 2017 (UTC) Trade studies are decision-making exercises. In the FAA Systems Handbook. the decision analysis matrix (also called Pugh's method) is suggested to support the activities, but this method cannot support uncertainty, a mix of quantitative and qualitative information, or teams. To manage uncertainty, the authors suggest supplementing point estimates of the outcome variables for each alternative with computed or estimated uncertainty ranges. The Standard Approach to Trade Studies, an INCOSE paper from 2004, suggests a similar approach.
 * Trade study section:

In the NASA Systems Engineering Handbook NASA suggests using multi-attribute utility theoretic (MAUT) or the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). But, these too are not good with uncertainty, mixed information and teams. The authors suggest using probability based methods to maximize utility when uncertainty predominates, but give little detail on how to approach this.

In many situations, linear programming methods like the simplex algorithm can be used but these too do not support uncertainty. Another approach to supporting trade studies with uncertain information is to use the Bayesian methods.

Yun Shouping

Yun Shouping (1633 – 1690), also known as Nantian, was a Chinese calligrapher and painter. He was a major artist of the early Chinese Qing dynasty. Along with the Four Wangs and Wú Lì, he was regarded as one of the "Six Masters" of the Qing period.

Biography
Yun Shouping was born to an impoverished family in Wujin, Jiangsu province. Although he excelled in his classes, his family could not afford for him to attend the civil service examinations. Yun Shouping devoted himself to art. As a child, he composed poetry on lotus blossoms.

Career
As an artist, poet, and calligrapher, Yun Shouping has been said to have mastered the three perfections. He is the founder of the Ch'ang-chou school of painting, and he is credited with reviving the popularity of flower paintings. The mogu bird-and-flower motif experienced a resurgence through Yun Shouping's works and school of art.

Yun Shouping was initially a landscape painter, but he was reportedly so impressed by the works of the artist Wang Hui that he abandoned his training in favor of flower, animal, and insect paintings. Yun Shouping has been mistakenly credited with influencing the works of Jiang Tingxi.

Yun was also recognized as a prominent calligrapher, in which he followed the style of Chu Suiliang.

Style
Yun imitated the 11th-century artist Xu Xi's mogu (or 'boneless') method, an approach that tried to express art without rigidly defined outlines and forms. This style became a hallmark of the Yun family's artistic style, and Yun's daughter Bing continued to develop the technique.

Yun's style was vibrant and expressive; he attempted to display the inner vitality and spirit of his subjects in painting. Yun sought inspiration from the past; his Flower and Fruit imitated the style of the masters of the Yuan dynasty. He used strong colors such as reds and purples, which had traditionally been considered gaudy and offensive by Chinese painters.

Moon Tycoon

Moon Tycoon is a city-building computer game released in 2001 by Anarchy Enterprises and Unique Entertainment. It is based on the creation of a lunar colony, or rather a lunar city. Anarchy Enterprises described it as the "first 3-D Sim game ever", and noted that it has similarities to SimCity (which at the time was 2-dimensional).

Gameplay
Moon Tycoon has three campaigns to play through, each with its own story-line and placed around the year 2021.

Campaign 1: Earth is in a global energy crisis, and the only thing that can stop it is a precious resource called helium-3 that can be found on the Moon in vast quantities.

Campaign 2: The energy crisis is over, but competition begins to heat up as corporations battle for lunar domination as space borne epidemics, discontent over living conditions and space disasters become more frequent.

Campaign 3: Mankind makes yet another leap as it begins the next stage of space exploration: the colonization of the asteroid belt.

Each campaign has ten levels to play through each with varied levels of difficulty. All three campaigns make up a larger story, so they can only be played in order and starting with the first. There is also a sandbox mode available, where the player can set the starting money, terrain type, ore quantity and average building life; it also lets the player select whether they want to play on the Moon or on an asteroid.

The game is played on the Play Area, on which both completed and under-construction structures are displayed. Players also use this screen to begin construction of buildings and alter the terrain. The play area is raised up from the surrounding view and can also have a grid.

The building menu display the various types of structures available for construction. These buildings are divided into different categories: Housing and Medical, Tourism, Research, Rewards (earned by different objectives), Utilities, and Industry.

Reception
Moon Tycoon was compared to SimCity, but praised for its innovative 3D graphics. Although Moon Tycoon was well received by US based game review website, GameZone, overseas it was not well reviewed scoring poorly by two foreign reviewers

Deep Sea Tycoon
The spiritual sequel, Deep Sea Tycoon, often confused with Atlantis Underwater Tycoon and titled Aquatic Tycoon in France, is a 2003 video game developed by Anarchy Enterprises and published by Unique Entertainment. This game involves you building an underwater city in 3D. It has a sequel, Deep Sea Tycoon 2, developed by Pixel after Pixel.

Gameplay
The gameplay of Deep Sea Tycoon involves choosing one of 24 different characters and creating an underwater city filled with different buildings and features, from Mermaid Palaces to Seafood Restaurants. Through the character they choose and the choices they make in their city, the player can become a ruthless business magnate or an environmentalist.

The gameplay is similar to Moon Tycoon. The player creates buildings on a flat piece of land, that must be connected to other buildings by tunnels. The only major differences are the scenario and the types of buildings each game uses.

Reception
Deep Sea Tycoon 2 has been reviewed by X-Play, being given a 1 out of 5. Being noted for being boring by having "ridiculously easy challenges" and simple challenges of only having to "click my mouse button twice". As a final note in their review, Adam Sessler noted that Game Tycoon was more entertaining than Deep Sea Tycoon 2.

Um, yeah, everything that needs to be said about "Tiny" is in the Xscape article already. There's not really anything to expand off of from that article. she is not T.I.'s baby mom doesn't warrant it's own page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.18.80.40 (talk • contribs).

 * I think for what its worth the articles value stands on its own merit. She is somewhat of a socialite/celebrity based on two things.  1. Being T.I's wife and 2. Being in Xscape.  So the article being here is fine.  With that said there should be a mention of her being arrested with T.I recently in the ATF bust.

Not only in the whole history, but also for the entire last decade?? I thought it was the other way aorund. Year -> decade -> history...

No, it's not the other way around, since "the last decade" is a longer period of time since the U.S. Title has been in WWE. It used to be the WCW U.S. Title and even before that the NWA U.S. Title.Politician818 04:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

There were plans for Orlando to participate in an angle where he was bisexual, though nothing has come to fruition as of yet... Oh and if there were 'rumors' that he was bi in real life, those claims were started by members of the IWC who are secretly in the closet. Matt

That transexual angle was going to involve Trinity and CM Punk. But now it has aparently been scraped. fishhead2100 April 29, 2006 4:01PM (UTC)

Can someone cite the source where they found OJ's latest finishing move the name and the fact of using the fameasser.

Is that encyclopedic?
"In other news, Orlando Jordan just got seen with Chris Kanyon walking into the New York City Hilton."

I also haven't heard that part about Tatanka before. Umdunno

Orlando is listed here as being born in 1971 but his category says 1981. Which year is it really? 69.137.234.44 22:33, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I can assure you 1981 is not correct and I am skeptical about 1971 as well. Orlando Jordan did win a Virginia AAA State Championship in 1993 (Senior Year), so an educated guess puts his birth year at 1975; with 1974 and 1976 also being remote possibilities.

 * Virginia AAA State Champions by Year (Orlando Jordan 1993, 189 pounds) - http://www.virginiawrestling.com/aaaindychamps.html

Mephibosheth

Mephibosheth (, also called Meribaal,, Mərīḇ-Baʻal), or Miphibosheth, was the son of Jonathan—and, thus, a grandson of Saul—mentioned in the Biblical Books of Samuel and Chronicles.

Life
Mephibosheth was five years old when both his father and grandfather died at the Battle of Mount Gilboa. After the deaths of Saul and Jonathan, Mephibosheth's nurse took him and fled in panic. In her haste, the child fell, or was dropped while fleeing. After that, he was unable to walk.

After the accident, Mephibosheth was carried with the rest of his family beyond the Jordan to the mountains of Gilead, where he found refuge in the house of Makhir ben Ammiel, a powerful Gadite or Manassite headman at Lo-debar, not far from Mahanaim, which during the reign of his uncle Ishbosheth was the headquarters of his family.

Some years later, after his accession to the kingship of the United Monarchy, King David sought "someone of the house of Saul, to whom I may show the kindness of God" and Mephibosheth was brought to him. Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann says the mention of Mephibosheth's disability may have been added to show that he was not a military or political threat to David.

David restored Saul's inheritance to Mephibosheth and permitted him to live within his palace in Jerusalem.

According to, and  he had a son called Micah.

Name
He is called Mephibosheth, meaning "from the mouth of shame", in the Books of Samuel while the Books of Chronicles ( and ) call him Meribbaal. Arnold Gottfried Betz and David Noel Freedman argue that Memphibaal, a name preserved in the Lucianic recension may actually be the original name of Jonathan's son, while Meribbaal may originally refer to one of Saul's sons.

There is some scholarly agreement that Mephibosheth replaced Meribbaal (or Memphibaal) in order to conceal the theophoric name "baal", a reference to a Canaanite deity, which became taboo.

Ice giant

An ice giant is a giant planet composed mainly of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, such as oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur. There are two ice giants in the Solar System: Uranus and Neptune.

In astrophysics and planetary science the term "ice" refers to volatile chemical compounds with freezing points above about 100 K, such as water, ammonia, or methane, with freezing points of 273 K (0°C), 195 K (−78°C), and 91 K (−182°C), respectively (see Volatiles). In the 1990s, it was determined that Uranus and Neptune were a distinct class of giant planet, separate from the other giant planets, Jupiter and Saturn, which are gas giants predominantly composed of hydrogen and helium.

As such, Neptune and Uranus are now referred to as ice giants. Lacking well-defined solid surfaces, they are primarily composed of gases and liquids. Their constituent compounds were solids when they were primarily incorporated into the planets during their formation, either directly in the form of ice or trapped in water ice. Today, very little of the water in Uranus and Neptune remains in the form of ice. Instead, water primarily exists as supercritical fluid at the temperatures and pressures within them. Uranus and Neptune consist of only about 20% hydrogen and helium by mass, compared to the Solar System's gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn, which are more than 90% hydrogen and helium by mass.

Terminology
In 1952, science fiction writer James Blish coined the term gas giant and it was used to refer to the large non-terrestrial planets of the Solar System. However, since the late 1940s the compositions of Uranus and Neptune have been understood to be significantly different from those of Jupiter and Saturn. They are primarily composed of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, forming a separate type of giant planet altogether. Because during their formation Uranus and Neptune incorporated their material as either ice or gas trapped in water ice, the term ice giant came into use. In the early 1970s, the terminology became popular in the science fiction community, e.g., Bova (1971), but the earliest scientific usage of the terminology was likely by Dunne & Burgess (1978) in a NASA report.

Formation
Modelling the formation of terrestrial and gas giants is relatively straightforward and uncontroversial. The terrestrial planets of the Solar System are widely understood to have formed through collisional accumulation of planetesimals within the protoplanetary disk. The gas giants—Jupiter, Saturn, and their extrasolar counterpart planets—are thought to have formed solid cores of around 10 Earth masses through the same process, while accreting gaseous envelopes from the surrounding solar nebula over the course of a few to several million years (Ma),  although alternative models of core formation based on pebble accretion have recently been proposed. Some extrasolar giant planets may instead have formed via gravitational disk instabilities.

The formation of Uranus and Neptune through a similar process of core accretion is far more problematic. The escape velocity for the small protoplanets about 20 astronomical units (AU) from the center of the Solar System would have been comparable to their relative velocities. Such bodies crossing the orbits of Saturn or Jupiter would have been liable to be sent on hyperbolic trajectories ejecting them from the system. Such bodies, being swept up by the gas giants, would also have been likely to just be accreted into larger planets or thrown into cometary orbits.

Despite the trouble modelling their formation, many ice giant candidates have been observed orbiting other stars since 2004. This indicates that they may be common in the Milky Way.

Migration
Considering the orbital challenges of protoplanets 20 AU or more from the centre of the Solar System would experience, a simple solution is that the ice giants formed between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn before being gravitationally scattered outward to their now more distant orbits.

Disk instability
Gravitational instability of the protoplanetary disk could also produce several gas giant protoplanets out to distances of up to 30 AU. Regions of slightly higher density in the disk could lead to the formation of clumps that eventually collapse to planetary densities. A disk with even marginal gravitational instability could yield protoplanets between 10 and 30 AU in over one thousand years (ka). This is much shorter than the 100,000 to 1,000,000 years required to produce protoplanets through core accretion of the cloud and could make it viable in even the shortest-lived disks, which exist for only a few million years.

A problem with this model is determining what kept the disk stable before the instability. There are several possible mechanisms allowing gravitational instability to occur during disk evolution. A close encounter with another protostar could provide a gravitational kick to an otherwise stable disk. A disk evolving magnetically is likely to have magnetic dead zones, due to varying degrees of ionization, where mass moved by magnetic forces could pile up, eventually becoming marginally gravitationally unstable. A protoplanetary disk may simply accrete matter slowly, causing relatively short periods of marginal gravitational instability and bursts of mass collection, followed by periods where the surface density drops below what is required to sustain the instability.

Photoevaporation
Observations of photoevaporation of protoplanetary disks in the Orion Trapezium Cluster by extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation emitted by θ1 Orionis C suggests another possible mechanism for the formation of ice giants. Multiple-Jupiter-mass gas-giant protoplanets could have rapidly formed due to disk instability before having most of their hydrogen envelopes stripped off by intense EUV radiation from a nearby massive star.

In the Carina Nebula, EUV fluxes are approximately 100 times higher than in Trapezium's Orion Nebula. Protoplanetary disks are present in both nebulae. Higher EUV fluxes make this an even more likely possibility for ice-giant formation. The stronger EUV would increase the removal of the gas envelopes from protoplanets before they could collapse sufficiently to resist further loss.

Characteristics
The ice giants represent one of two fundamentally different categories of giant planets present in the Solar System, the other group being the more-familiar gas giants, which are composed of more than 90% hydrogen and helium (by mass). Their hydrogen is thought to extend all the way down to their small rocky cores, where hydrogen molecular ion transitions to metallic hydrogen under the extreme pressures of hundreds of gigapascals (GPa).

The ice giants are primarily composed of heavier elements. Based on the abundance of elements in the universe, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur are most likely. Although the ice giants also have hydrogen envelopes, these are much smaller. They account for less than 20% of their mass. Their hydrogen also never reaches the depths necessary for the pressure to create metallic hydrogen. These envelopes nevertheless limit observation of the ice giants' interiors, and thereby the information on their composition and evolution.

Although Uranus and Neptune are referred to as ice giant planets, it is thought that there is a supercritical water-ammonia ocean beneath their clouds, which accounts for about two-thirds of their total mass.

Atmosphere and weather
The gaseous outer layers of the ice giants have several similarities to those of the gas giants. These include long-lived, high-speed equatorial winds, polar vortices, large-scale circulation patterns, and complex chemical processes driven by ultraviolet radiation from above and mixing with the lower atmosphere.

Studying the ice giants' atmospheric patterns also gives insights into atmospheric physics. Their compositions promote different chemical processes and they receive far less sunlight in their distant orbits than any other planets in the Solar System (increasing the relevance of internal heating on weather patterns).

The largest visible feature on Neptune is the recurring Great Dark Spot. It forms and dissipates every few years, as opposed to the similarly sized Great Red Spot of Jupiter, which has persisted for centuries. Of all known giant planets in the Solar System, Neptune emits the most internal heat per unit of absorbed sunlight, a ratio of approximately 2.6. Saturn, the next-highest emitter, only has a ratio of about 1.8. Uranus emits the least heat, one-tenth as much as Neptune. It is suspected that this may be related to its extreme 98˚ axial tilt. This causes its seasonal patterns to be very different from those of any other planet in the Solar System.

There are still no complete models explaining the atmospheric features observed in the ice giants. Understanding these features will help elucidate how the atmospheres of giant planets in general function. Consequently, such insights could help scientists better predict the atmospheric structure and behaviour of giant exoplanets discovered to be very close to their host stars (pegasean planets) and exoplanets with masses and radii between that of the giant and terrestrial planets found in the Solar System.

Interior
Because of their large sizes and low thermal conductivities, the planetary interior pressures range up to several hundred GPa and temperatures of several thousand kelvins (K).

In March 2012, it was found that the compressibility of water used in ice-giant models could be off by one-third. This value is important for modeling ice giants, and has a ripple effect on understanding them.

Magnetic fields
The magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune are both unusually displaced and tilted. Their field strengths are intermediate between those of the gas giants and those of the terrestrial planets, being 50 and 25 times that of Earth's, respectively. The equatorial magnetic field strengths of Uranus and Neptune are respectively 75 percent and 45 percent of Earth's 0.305 gauss. Their magnetic fields are believed to originate in an ionized convecting fluid-ice mantle.

What I Do on Wikipedia
In my early days of Wikipedia, I did a lot of vandalism reversion through special:recentchanges. I've come to do a lot less of that nowadays. I don't really focus on any one area, instead doing a hodgepodge of tasks. I focus a lot on academia (from universities to standardized tests), as well as doing some work in politics (although I've found that — not at all surprisingly — these are hotbeds of POV, bad faith, and even sockpuppetry). I still do a lot of vandalism reversion through my watchlist, but I also add in bits and pieces of information to articles, whenever I find a good source. Resources like Flickr and federal government websites have given me great tools to find acceptably licensed material to illustrate articles. I also do a lot of small tasks here and there, like fixing typos, finding geographic coördinates, and improving citations. I'm generally happy to help out if I can, so if you see something that needs doing, don't hesitate to drop me a line

What I'd Like to See More Use out of

 * Library and school databases. Wikipedia can only grow so far as its references. Lots of newspapers and magazines are unavailable through normal methods, especially editions older than 7 days. These databases contain largely untapped treasure troves of knowledge. Their search functions are usually pretty good, and you don't have to have a specific article in mind, you can just jump in and see what you find. You also don't have to separately jump from one newspaper's website to the next: it's all in one spot. You're school and public library probably provides you free access to these with your library number, so go to your local/school library and add a (properly cited) reference or two.

 * Media copyright questions. Raul has some laws about Wikipedia, one of which states, "For every one person who knows something about copyright law, there are at least ten who don't, and two who think they do but don't." I am not the first (but I'm learning!), and rather than attempt to be the third, I defer to those more knowledgeable on the subject than I. If you are someone who knows about copyright, your services are greatly needed. If you aren't, then better to ask before you make a mistake rather than after.
 * User:SuggestBot. Don't go looking for articles that need help, let this bot find the ones you will enjoy working on.

Education in Botswana

Education in Botswana is provided by public schools and private schools. Education in Botswana is governed by the Ministries of Basic Education. and Tertiary, Research Science and Technology Among sub-Saharan African countries, Botswana has one of the highest literacy rates. According to The World Factbook - Central Intelligence Agency as of 2015, 88.5% of the population age 15 and over can read and write in Botswana were respectively literate.

The Private schools are generally free to determine their own curriculum and staffing policies, with voluntary accreditation available through independent regional accreditation authorities. About 87% of school-age children attend public schools, about 10% attend private schools while roughly 3% are home-schooled.

Education is compulsory over an age range starting between five and eight and ending somewhere between ages sixteen and eighteen. This requirement can be satisfied in public schools, state-certified private schools, or an approved home school program.

Secondary education in Botswana is neither free nor compulsory. In 2002, the gross primary enrollment rate was 103 percent, and the net primary enrollment rate was 81 percent. Gross and net enrollment ratios are based on the number of students formally registered in primary school and therefore do not necessarily reflect school attendance. Recent primary school attendance statistics are not available for Botswana. As of 2001, 86 percent of children who started primary school were likely to reach grade 5. In Botswana's education system, girls and boys have equal access to education. Girls are likely to drop out of secondary school due to pregnancy.

There is also a large number and a wide variety of publicly and privately administered institutions of higher learning throughout the country. Post-secondary education, divided into college, as the first tertiary degree, and graduate school, is described in a separate section below.

Botswana made great strides in educational development after independence in 1966. At that time there were very few graduates in the country and very few Batswana attended secondary school. With the discovery of diamonds just after independence and the increase in government revenue that this brought, there was a huge increase in educational provision in the country. All students were guaranteed ten years of basic education, leading to a Junior Certificate qualification. Approximately half of the school population attends a further two years of secondary schooling leading to the award of the Botswana General Certificate of Education. After leaving school, students can attend one of the seven technical colleges in the country, or take vocational training courses in teaching or nursing. The best students enter the University of Botswana, Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources, The Botswana Accountancy College and Boitekanelo College in Gaborone. A larger influx of tertiary students is expected when construction of the nation's second national university, The Botswana International University of Science and Technology, is completed. Many other students end up in the numerous private tertiary education colleges around the country. A high majority of these students are government sponsored. The quantitative gains have not always been matched by qualitative ones. Primary schools in particular still lack resources, and the teachers are less well paid than their secondary school colleagues. In January 2006, Botswana announced the reintroduction of school fees after two decades of free state education.

Total government expenditure on education as percentage of GDP in Botswana was reported to be 9.633% in 2009, the highest among Sub-Saharan African countries.

Preschool
Preschool encompasses non-compulsory classroom-based early-childhood education prior to the age of five to six. Issues of Early Childhood Care and education were incorporated into the Revised National Policy on Education (RNPE) of 1994 .The responsibility to provide early childhood education programs lies largely with the private and civil society sectors rather than with the government. The practices of providers of early childhood education are either simply "business opportunity seeking" responses to the new consumption patterns of more affluent parent (or guardian) or current global trends of child education preparation. Many community-based programs, commercial enterprises, non-profit organizations, faith communities, and independent childcare providers offer preschool education. Preschool may be general or may have a particular focus, such as arts education, religious education, sports training, or foreign language learning, along with providing general education.The benefit of pre-primary education cannot be over-emphasized because children develop cognitively and socially.

Botswana government as of 2015 has started opening early childhood education programs in many governmental primary schools in order to promote the education of young children. This started by opening a half-year pre-school class after the standard 7 students had finished writing their final exams. Their classrooms would be unoccupied for the rest of the academic year, so this way they could accommodate the 5-year-old children. Proceeding that, the government is now implementing a two-year program for children aged 4 and 5 years old. Moreover, the government of Botswana is also paying more attention to early childhood education.

Primary Education
Primary education ranges from reception (pre-standard one) up to standard 7.

Children enrol in primary school around the age of 6. The curriculum in primary education is determined by county school system. The school district selects curriculum guides and textbooks that reflect a state's learning standards and benchmarks for a given grade level. There are two types of primary education accessible in Botswana. The government provides education that is generally referred to as 'Setswana medium', the medium of instruction being Setswana as well as English. The private sector provides education whereby the language of instruction is purely English, these schools are referred to as 'English medium schools'.

Secondary Education
Secondary education ranges from form 1 up to form 5 (junior secondary: form 1—form 3; senior secondary: form 4—form 5).

Students are usually given more independence, moving to different classrooms for different subjects, and being allowed to choose some of their class subjects (electives). The first three years of secondary education leads to the Junior Certificate, and after two more years of studying students sit for the Botswana General Certificate of Secondary Examination.

Higher education
The University of Botswana, Botho University, Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, Ba Isago University, ABM University College, Botswana International University of Science and Technology, Botswana Open University, Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Gaborone University College of Law and professional Studies, and Gaborone Institute Of Professional Studies are the institutions that offer university education in the country. The University of Botswana is the national university which was established in 1982 by an act of parliament and is headquartered at Gaborone.

Localization of the curriculum
Soon after independence it was realized that the educational system did not meet the needs of the nation. It was highly focused on academics and still had colonial hangovers. Many of the things taught were not relevant to the African context, thus the school drop-out rates were high. It was soon realized that change was needed.The leaders envisioned an education system that provided access to all and supported social harmony after the realization that the Botswana community was isolated according to different ethnic groups. In 1977 a commission appointed by the government of Botswana published a report on educational reform: 'education for kagisano' (meaning 'education for social harmony'). This first National Policy on Education (NPE) of 1977 was a reaction by Botswana leaders to move away from the British colonization model of learning to a more inclusive system when education was for the elite. As advised in the report, new core subjects were introduced into schools, making the education more relevant for Botswana. The education aimed to be more vocational in order to prepare students for the job market.

First League of Herzeg-Bosnia

The First League of Herzeg-Bosnia served as the top football league in Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia during the Bosnian War and post-war periods of the 1990s. During these years, football was divided along ethnic lines, with the Croat, Bosniak and Serb populations each running their own league. Because Bosniaks were the only group interested in a distinctly Bosnian-Herzegovinian league and national team, only their league was recognized by the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The league formed in 1993. In the 1997/1998 season, the top Croat teams began facing the top Bosniak teams for entrance to UEFA tournaments, something that had been denied the Herzeg-Bosnia league on its own. This setup lasted until the 2000/2001 season when the two leagues merged to form the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Buyan

In the Dove Book and other medieval Russian books, Buyan (Буя́н, sometimes transliterated as Bujan ) is described as a mysterious island in the ocean with the ability to appear and disappear with the tide. Three brothers—Northern, Western, and Eastern Winds—live there, and also the Zoryas, solar goddesses who are servants or daughters of the solar god Dazhbog.

Background
The island of Buyan features prominently in many famous myths; Koschei the Deathless keeps his soul of immortality hidden there, secreted inside a needle placed inside an egg in the mystical oak-tree; other legends call the island the source of all weather, generated there and sent forth into the world by the god Perun. Buyan also appears in The Tale of Tsar Saltan, of His Son the Renowned and Mighty Bogatyr Prince Gvidon Saltanovich, and of the Beautiful Princess-Swan (an opera by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, set partially in Tmutarakan and in Buyan's magical city of Ledenets (Леденец, "sugary")) and in many other  Slavic skazkas. Furthermore, Buyan has the mythical stone with healing and magic powers, known as the Alatyr (Алатырь), which is guarded by the bird Gagana and by Garafena the serpent.

Some scholars (such as V. B. Vilibakhov) assert that Buyan is actually a Slavic name for some real island, most likely Rügen in the Baltic Sea.

Influence

 * The Buyan-class corvette is a class of corvettes used by the Russian Navy.
 * Buyan, an uninhabited island on the northern parts of the Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago off the northern coast of Russia.
 * Buyan Insula, an insula (island) within Ligeia Mare on Saturn's moon Titan.
 * Buyan is mentioned in Catherynne M. Valente's novel Deathless as the "Country of Life", a grotesque island nation ruled by Koschei where everything (even the flesh-like buildings) is organic and alive. It is also mentioned in another work by Catherine M. Valente, The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, in which the Marquess of Fairyland has conducted a peace treaty with the island country.
 * Buyan is used as the name of one of the planets in Signalis.

Daniele Massaro

Daniele Emilio Massaro (born 23 May 1961) is an Italian former footballer who played as a forward.

Throughout his career, Massaro played for several Italian clubs, including Monza, Fiorentina, AC Milan, and Roma, before ending his career in Japan with Shimizu S-Pulse. He is mainly remembered for his highly successful career with AC Milan during the late 1980s and 1990s, under managers Arrigo Sacchi and Fabio Capello, with whom he went on to achieve notable domestic, European, and international success. He won four Serie A titles and two European Cup/Barcelona in the 1994 Champions League final.

Massaro won 15 caps at international level, making his debut in 1982, and was also a member of the Italy national team that won the World Cup that year, although he did not make an appearance in the tournament. He was also a member of the team that reached the final of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, scoring a goal during the tournament, his only international goal, in Italy's last group match against Mexico; in the final, his last international appearance, he missed one of Italy's penalties in the resulting shoot-out, as Brazil went on to lift the trophy.

Club career
Massaro began his career with his local club Monza in Serie B, in 1978, putting on notable performances during his three seasons with the club alongside his more technically gifted teammate, Paolo Monelli, which attracted the attention of larger clubs. In 1981, he was acquired by Serie A club Fiorentina, along with Monelli, making his Serie A debut on 13 September 1981, and his Italy Under-21 debut 10 days later. He instantly became a permanent member of Fiorentina's starting line-up, and he came close to winning the Scudetto during his first season with the club, missing out on the title to Juventus by a single point. He continued to be an important member of the club during his subsequent seasons in Florence.

After leaving Fiorentina in 1986, Massaro made a name for himself at A.C. Milan where he played over 300 games between 1986 and 1995 (apart from a loan spell with Roma during the 1988–89 season), and he was part of the legendary Milan squad of the late 1980s and early 1990s, under Arrigo Sacchi and Fabio Capello, which dominated Italy and Europe. Although he won the Scudetto during his second season with the club, he was initially used sparingly and out of position under Sacchi, who did not have faith in his capabilities, and the two began to have several tactical disagreements regarding his true playing position, eventually leading him to be sent out on loan to Roma for a season, in 1988. He returned to Milan during the 1989–90 season, and his consistent, reliable performances now convinced Sacchi, who began to deploy Massaro more frequently; in return, Massaro repaid Sacchi by scoring 10 league goals that season, also winning his first European Cup title with Milan that year, following up the success with two European Super Cups and Intercontinental cups. Whilst playing as a striker, Massaro became more prolific in front of goal, and he also scored two decisive goals in the 1994 UEFA Champions League Final against FC Barcelona, which Milan won 4–0, winning his second European Cup title with the club, under Sacchi's replacement, Capello. He was also Milan's top scorer in the 1993–94 Serie A season with 11 league goals, helping them to win their third consecutive title since 1992 under Capello. In total, during his time with the club, he won 4 Serie A titles (1988, 1992, 1993, 1994), two UEFA Champions League/European Cup titles (1990, 1994), 3 UEFA Super Cups (1989, 1990, 1994), 2 Intercontinental Cups (1989, 1990), and 3 Italian Supercups (1992, 1993, 1994), also reaching the Coppa Italia final in 1990, two more Champions League finals in 1993 and 1995, and another Intercontinental Cup final in 1994. In the second leg of the 1994 UEFA Super Cup Final against Arsenal in Milan, he set up Zvonimir Boban's goal and later scored another to give Milan a 2–0 aggregate victory.

After leaving Milan in 1995, he played a year in the Japanese football league with Shimizu S-Pulse, before retiring in 1996. On 16 August 1995, he scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 win over Urawa Reds. On 13 April 1996, he scored a hat-trick in a 5–1 win against Bellmare Hiratsuka.

International career
Massaro made his Italy under-21 debut on 23 September 1981, 10 days after his Serie A debut with Fiorentina. Overall, he made 4 appearances with the Azzurrini between 1981 and 1984, also taking part with Italy's Olympic under-23 side at the 1984 Olympics, where Italy reached the semi-final, finishing the tournament in fourth place. Surprisingly capped only 15 times for the Italian senior side, Massaro's international career actually spanned more than a decade between 1982 and 1994. As a 21-year-old, Massaro made his debut on 14 April 1982 under Enzo Bearzot in a 1–0 defeat to East Germany, and he was a member of the Italian squad that won the 1982 FIFA World Cup held in Spain, although he did not receive any playing time during the tournament. He was capped sparingly between 1984 and 1986, but eight years later he was called up for Italy's 1994 World Cup squad by manager Arrigo Sacchi, at the age of 33. He played in six of Italy's seven games at the 1994 FIFA World Cup held in the United States, and scored a goal in a 1–1 draw against Mexico in Italy's final match of the group stage on 28 June, which allowed them to progress to the knockout round as the best third-placed team; this was his only goal for Italy, and made him Italy's oldest ever goalscorer at the FIFA World Cup, at the age of 33 years and 36 days. In the defeat against Brazil in the final of the tournament, he missed a one-on-one opportunity and later failed to convert a penalty kick in the shoot-out; this was his last international appearance.

After football
He was also the captain of the Italian Beach Soccer National Team for a couple of years. Massaro is also an avid golfer during his free time. After fully retiring from football, he took part in several rally races in the Italian Rally Division, racing twice in the WRC, in the Sanremo Rally (in 1998 and 1999). Massaro currently works with Milan as a public relations manager.

Style of play
A talented and determined player, Massaro was gifted with pace and agility, as well as good physical and athletic attributes. Due to his versatility, work-rate and tactical intelligence, he was uniquely capable of playing in many different positions anywhere on the pitch. Although he is remembered mainly for his performances as a centre forward with Milan, he began his career as a midfielder, and was capable of playing anywhere in midfield; indeed, he was often used as an offensive, central, or defensive midfielder. Throughout his career, he even played as a makeshift defender, both in the centre, or on the flank as a full-back. During his highly successful stint with Milan, he was initially deployed as an outside forward on the left, or as a winger under his Milan manager Arrigo Sacchi, due to his good technique. Massaro was only utilised as a true striker later on in his career, in particular under Milan's subsequent manager Fabio Capello, and also at the 1994 World Cup with Italy under Sacchi, where he was able to find the net more often, due to his finishing ability with either foot, as well as his aerial prowess and heading accuracy; in this position, he was also capable of playing off his teammates and of holding up the ball when playing with his back to goal. Due to his tendency to score decisive goals in closely fought matches, most notably, his brace in the 1994 UEFA Champions League Final, or in the closing minutes of games, he earned the nicknames Provvidenza ("providence," in Italian) and "San Massaro" in the media. Describing his career experience at Milan, Massaro once referred to himself as a "supersub," due to his penchant for scoring decisive goals after coming off the bench.
