Talk:List of rivers of Indiana

Little River/Little Wabash River
I've changed "Little Wabash River" to Little River (Indiana) per the GNIS entry here, which lists a 1962 USBGN decision establishing that name. The USGS also refers to it as "Little River" here, as does this local website. However, DeLorme refers to it as "Little Wabash River" in its atlas, as does the Huntington, Indiana, entry on britannica.com here, so I've noted it in the list as a variant.

Juxtaglomerular cell

Juxtaglomerular cells (JG cells), also known as juxtaglomerular granular cells are cells in the kidney that synthesize, store, and secrete the enzyme renin. They are specialized smooth muscle cells mainly in the walls of the afferent arterioles (and some in the efferent arterioles) that deliver blood to the glomerulus. In synthesizing renin, they play a critical role in the renin–angiotensin system and thus in autoregulation of the kidney.

Juxtaglomerular cells secrete renin in response to a drop in pressure detected by stretch receptors in the vascular walls, or when stimulated by macula densa cells. Macula densa cells are located in the distal convoluted tubule, and stimulate juxtaglomerular cells to release renin when they detect a drop in chloride concentration in tubular fluid. Together, juxtaglomerular cells, extraglomerular mesangial cells and macula densa cells comprise the juxtaglomerular apparatus.

In appropriately stained tissue sections, juxtaglomerular cells are distinguished by their granulated cytoplasm.

The juxtaglomerular cell is a cell that is located near the glomerulus, hence its name.

Similar to cardiac tissue, juxtaglomerular cells harbor β1 adrenergic receptors. When stimulated by epinephrine or norepinephrine, these receptors induce the secretion of renin. These cells also respond directly to a decrease in systemic blood pressure which is manifested as a lower renal perfusion pressure.

Eileach an Naoimh

Eileach an Naoimh, also known as Holy Isle, is an uninhabited island in the Inner Hebrides of the west coast of Scotland. It is the southernmost of the Garvellachs archipelago and lies in the Firth of Lorne between Mull and Argyll. The name is Gaelic for "rocky place of the saint".

About 542, St. Brendan the Navigator founded a monastery on Eilach, presumed to be the island, possibly because of the combination of its isolation and good grazing. Columba is believed to have visited the island and it is one of the proposed locations of the Columban retreat isle of Hinba. Eileach an Naoimh may be the burial site of Columba's mother Eithne. The monastery was destroyed by – or, at least, may have become excessively vulnerable to – Viking raiders, from about 800. The island has probably seen only intermittent occupation since, which has contributed to the survival of the ruins of many of the monastic buildings, including two chapels, beehive cells, and a graveyard with three crosses and another circular grave. The cells are contained in a pentagonal enclosure overlooking the rocky landing place on the south, which is guarded by various skerries. Beyond the enclosure there is another cell with two rooms. The oldest chapel is rectangular and may date from the 11th or 12th century. The monastic ruins are the oldest ecclesiastical buildings in Scotland and the site is in the care of Historic Environment Scotland. If the ruins date from the time of Brendan this would potentially make them the oldest extant church buildings in Britain, although the earliest written record of their existence dates from the late 9th century.

There is no ferry service, and transport to the island and its neighbours must be arranged privately.

Thomas Hooker Brewing Company
A tag has been placed on Thomas Hooker Brewing Company, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Thomas Hooker Brewing Company and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position.

Brewing Company Article
Your article has a lot of problems: Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:35, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * it reads like an advertisement - Wikipedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view and this is all ad-speak stressing how marvellous their beers are;
 * being written in the first person - "we age our barley wine" "our most easily drinkable brew" etc - it reads as if it is copied from the brewery's catalogue or web-site, in which case there are copyright problems - see WP:COPYVIO
 * you need references from independent, reliable sources, not just the company's web-site, to establish that it meets the requirements of Notability (companies).

Mordecai Sherwin

Mordecai Sherwin (26 February 1851 – 3 July 1910) was a professional footballer and cricketer who played in goal for Notts County and as a wicket-keeper for Nottinghamshire between 1878 and 1896.

As a footballer, Sherwin played in goal for County from 10 November 1883 until 10 November 1888 and was, according to the sportswriter "Tityrus" (the pseudonym of J.A.H. Catton, editor of the Athletic News), the idol of the crowd despite his unpromising physique:

 * "Although only 5ft. 9ins, and bordering on 17 stone, he was a kind of forerunner to the mighty Foulke... very nimble, as quick a custodian as he was a wicket-keeper. In one match, when the Blackburn Rovers were playing at the Trent Bridge ground, that sturdy and skilful outside right, Joseph Morris Lofthouse, thought he would have a tilt with Sherwin.

 * "He charged him, and rebounded. Sherwin said: "Young man, you'll hurt yourself if you do that again." Undeterred, Lofthouse returned to the attack, but Sherwin stepped aside with the alacrity of a dancer, and the Lancashire lad found out how hard was the goalpost and how sharp its edge.

 * "Sherwin was a wonder. It was the custom in those days for teams to entertain each other to dinner after a match... At one banquet Sherwin "obliged" with Oh, Dem Golden Slippers, and surprised the gathering with a jig and a somersault. At seventeen stones!"

Another source states that ‘Mordy Sherwin’ was an agile and reliable goalkeeper, if somewhat eccentric. Proving that today’s over-exuberant celebrations on scoring are nothing new, ‘Mordy’ was given to treating the spectators behind his goal to a cartwheeling performance when the Magpies scored!

Mordecai Sherwin played just the one League match. The venue was Trent Bridge, Nottingham. The date was 10 November 1888 and the opposition was Accrington. For a November’s day the weather was pleasant and the 8,000 crowd saw some fine attacking football. Accrington forward Billy Barbour put his side ahead but not long after Harry Daft leveled the scores and Sherwin entertained the crowd with one of his cartwheels. The match renewed the rivalry between Accrington forward Joe Lofthouse (see above for details) but Lofthouse got the better in this match by restoring Accrington’ lead. 2-1 to Accrington at half-time.

The second-half saw Notts County get the better of the play, Charles Shelton equalizing for County and then Bob Jardine putting County ahead for the first time in the match. As the match wore on County had two defenders injured so it was no surprise when Billy Barbour got his brace and the match finished a draw, 3-3, a point each.

In 1888-1889 season Sherwin also played in three F.A. Cup ties with Notts County winning all three. The victory at Recreation Ground, Staveley, against Staveley on 8 December 1888 was Sherwin’ last game for Notts County. County won 3-1.

As a cricketer, Sherwin captained Nottinghamshire in 1887 and 1888. He also played three Test matches for England on the tour to Australia in 1886/7. He was named as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1891.

After he retired as a cricketer, he umpired until 1901, and even stood in one Test in 1899. By trade, Sherwin was a publican. Sherwin had a wife, Emma, and at least six children, Mary, William, Emma, Ellen, Mordecai and Frederick.

The name of Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous character, Sherlock Holmes, is said to have been inspired partially by Sherwin, and partially by Frank Shacklock.

Life Expectancy (novel)

Life Expectancy is a novel by suspense/horror writer Dean Koontz. The plot centers on five pivotal moments in the life of a self-proclaimed "lummox" named James "Jimmy" Tock.

Plot summary
James Tock was born in Snow County Hospital in Colorado and at the exact moment his grandfather, Josef Tock, a pastry chef, dies of a stroke. Though crippled by a stroke earlier in the week, moments before his death, Josef recovers miraculously to impart on his son Rudy ten cryptic predictions: among them that his grandchild will be named James—but that everyone will call him Jimmy. Josef also predicts five terrible days to come in his grandson's life. Coherent though his bizarre speech may be, Josef Tock does not recover from this event, but expires just as the baby is born.

Earlier in the evening, Rudy Tock made the acquaintance of a strange man, Konrad Beezo. Beezo is a clown for the very circus Tock's pass is for, and is a fitful, spiteful, creepy, chain-smoking individual half in his clown costume. His wife Natalie, a trapeze artist of some renown and born of a good family, is lying in childbirth, says he, and her relatives have virtually disowned her for marrying him. He speaks glowingly of his soon-to-be-born son, who is to be named "Punchinello", and will carry on the fine tradition of clowning. He speaks venomously of his father-in-law, using many colorful epithets.

Tock is only too grateful to leave Beezo. However, the grief for his father's death was short-lived. Beezo, upon learning Natalie died in childbirth, goes insane ranting about her family sending assassins to kill her and begins shooting, killing a doctor and a nurse. Tock, in perhaps the one moment of heroism in his meek baker's life, convinces the mad clown his enemies have left, and momentarily quells his anger.

Jimmy Tock writes the book, a loose autobiography of personal experience, reminisces, and second- or even third-hand accounts of events, transcribing it from a series of tapes on the eve of his fifth and final terrible day. The narrative is given in an often self-deprecating, comically understated manner. However, certain experiences stand out starkly, most noticeably blundering into a harrowing, yet almost surreal, bank robbery by a trio of plastique-wielding crazed history buff clowns led by none other than Punchinello Beezo—in which Jimmy gradually realizes he's falling for a comely fellow hostage and a dangerous game of chicken with a severely disturbed stalker on an icy road the night his wife Lorrie, the former fellow hostage is about to deliver their first child (on the second predicted date). The man after the Tocks is none other than Konrad Beezo himself, looking for retribution for his imprisoned, and accidentally-gelded son. His mad obsession with the family frames both this terrible day and the next predicted day for Beezo desires a male Tock child as his prize, a new son to raise in the fine clown tradition. The lunatic will do whatever he must to collect what he believes due him, including numerous facial reconstructive surgeries to assume new identities and escape the grasp of the law. Jimmy believes that everyone in the world is tenebrously yet inexorably connected to one another, just as his toes were at birth. This phenomenon is often called "Six degrees of separation". Punchinello, who is currently imprisoned, is asked by Jimmy and Lorrie, who aided in his conviction and sentencing, to donate one of his kidneys to help save the life of Annie Tock, the daughter of Jimmy and Lorrie. Punchinello only agrees to the donation in return for multiple favors that are frivolous by comparison to the precious kidney. As the deal is about to be complete, Punchinello asks that Jimmy kills Virgilio Vivacemente as one last favor.

As the prophecies are fulfilled one by one, and he survives each, Jimmy learns many things about himself—as well as Konrad, Natalie, Punchinello, and Konrad's father-in-law, Virgilio Vivacemente, the vain, sadistic patriarch of the world-famous acrobatic clan who casts his long shadow over the lives of both the Tocks and the Beezos. Some of Jimmy's revelations are beautiful; others fearsome; still others shake his meek, lumbering pastry chef's life to the foundation and cause him to reflect on the true meaning of syndactyly—as both an ailment and a life's philosophy.

Talk:Kankakee River

Current Conditions
Please update this section (and include the current date) as necessary, or add info about other sections of the river. Please base your contributions on actual personal experience or first-hand knowledge of the current conditions on the river. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Raftman1979 (talk • contribs) 21:17, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Of course, basing contributions on "actual personal experience or first-hand knowledge" would violate Wikipedia's ban on original research.  Xenophon777 (talk) 16:12, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I think you need to reexamine the portion of this article that states the Kankakee terminates in Will County IL. I am not at all an expert in these matters, but live at the confluence of the Desplaines and Kankakee Rivers and can assure you that they meet, in my opinion, in Grundy County IL several hundred yards to the west of the county line. 108.223.238.62 (talk) 03:10, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Flora and Fauna
Anyone with references able to add something about the flora and fauna of the river? The catfish, carp, birds, trees and such? Xenophon777 (talk) 16:12, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Name and its connection to the Great Kankakee Swamp
Although in Anishinaabemowin, the river is known as Dootoogang-aki-ziibi (Land of the Morass/Bog River), and referring to the Great Kankakee Swamp, I can't find any references to it other than a pun reference that speaks of the Potawatomi stories connecting it to "mother's breast" (doodoosh). Plus, there needs to be something that speak to the Miami name for the river Theakiki. CJLippert (talk) 14:40, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

River naming
I remember when I was a kid growing up in Toledo during the early 1980's, it was told that no one could decide on a name for the river. They grabbed a kid and demanded that he name the river or they'd throw him in. He refused, so they threw him in and he yelled "Mommy! Mommy!". They pulled him out and that's why they call the River "Maumee".

It's all a bunch of kid story, but there you go.--Pittsburghmuggle (talk) 01:37, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

MN Parks
Jon, I am not sure how to work parks into the MN wiki project. I think that there is enough support for parks to be its own division (including state forests, BWCA etc). What do you think? -Ravedave 19:39, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Energy portal & future selected articles
Hi! Over the past couple of months I've been spending much more time than I should developing the Energy portal, and intend asking for a portal peer review within the next day or so. The portal provides a showcase for energy-related articles on Wikipedia. One of the most prominent ways is via a the selected article that is currently changed every 6 weeks or so. It would be good to increase this turnover, and with three Wikiprojects dedicated to energy-related topics and a good number of articles already written, I'd like to suggest that members of each Wikiproject might like to use the 'selected article' to feature some of their best work. With this in mind, I'd like to suggest that your Wikiproject bypasses the normal selected article nomination page and decides collectively which articles are worth featuring - or these may be self-evident from previous discussions - and add short 'introduction' to the selected article at the appropriate place on page Portal:Energy/Selected article/Drafts, which includes further information. Your personal involvement would be welcome! Please make any comments on your Wikiproject talk page, my talk page, or on Portal talk:Energy/Selected article/Drafts, as appropriate. Gralo 15:36, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

WikiProjects
Was there a discussion that I missed regarding changing the "background" section on many wikiprojects (for example, Lutheranism and Saints)? It seems a little bit like a unilateral change -- especially without a comment on the Project talk pages or so much of as an edit summary as an explaination. -- Pastordavid 21:37, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It's just an effort to keep all the religion-related WPs visible to each other and help people discover other projects they might be interested in. The way it is was previously, there were a few "related projects" listed on each main project page. If a new project was started, it would likely go unnoticed by the participants in other projects. Because the Related WikiProjects section is a template, it can be shared across many WPs. Since many of these projects share similar goals, I thought it would be helpful to keep people in the loop. If you don't like it for your project, I have no problem with it being removed. I was just being bold. — Jonathan Kovaciny (talk|contribs) 02:11, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

The DREAD Weapon System
Why did you add the DREAD Weapon System article again? It was previously deleted. Plus that all claims about it comes form one source: David Crane at http://www.defencereview.com

The DREAD is in all probability a hoax. Simple physics calculations plus knowledge in ballistics show that this is an impractical and inefficient weapon.... most likely not even implementable. Check all the comments to the articles that are linked to the WP entry for in-depth refutes of teh Defence Review article.

I think the article should be put up for deletion (again)... perhaps even a speedy deletion. Please comment. --J-Star 12:11, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I can't tell you if it's a hoax or not, and I didn't know that the article already been deleted once, but I originally saw it published in Popular Science in late 2006; I can't find that article online. It's also published here in May 2005 by New Scientist (already in the External links section). I don't know if PS or NS did any verification or not, but it has published. Even if it is a hoax, it has been published in two reasonably reputable sources, and I'm not aware of them retracting anything they said. — Jonathan Kovaciny (talk|contribs) 13:44, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * If you read the New Scientist article you'll see that its source was... the supposed inventor and Defence Review. Everything about this weapon stems from one source and that source is not reliable because it proves nothing substantial.

 * Further more there are fairly obvious physics problems about supposed weapon. For instance, even with the absolutely lowest figures stated about the DREAD's capacity, it needs a peak power output of 500 000W. That's half a megawatt or about 680 horsepower. Plus that in the supposed "Letters from the inventor" on Defence Review homepage the writer makes false statements such as a spinning disc will have no angular momentum or that there will be no recoil because the weapon simply releases the bullets... but ignores the fact that this leaves the flywheel unbalanced which gives even worse forces on the weapon.

 * I'm adding the article to AfD. --J-Star 17:23, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

On-page "What Redirects Here"
Took a crack at a test version: User:Splarka/fetchredirects.js

You can try it out by adding to /monobook.js: importScript('User:Splarka/fetchredirects.js');

It adds a link to activate it in the toolbox (below the search box) and displays the results below the page title.

Of course, this method has several limitations:
 * If a page has more than 1000 links in it, finding all the redirects is not always possible with Special:Whatlinkshere
 * For pages with lots of redirects, this method may be rather slow.
 * It just displays the links (having an editable box would be a major AJAX undertaking, requring multiple edit/save/delete calls to the software -- you'd have to ask someone who knows AJAX more than I, for that)
 * other unforseen limitations are also hereby implied

Proposed deletion of Edwards, New York (disambiguation)

The article Edwards, New York (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: "Per WP:TWODABS, since one of the two entries is at the base title, this is better handled with hatnotes."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Daitō Islands

The Daitō Islands (大東諸島) are an archipelago consisting of three isolated coral islands in the Philippine Sea southeast of Okinawa. The islands have a total area of 44.427 sqkm and a population of 2,107.

Administratively, the whole group belongs to Shimajiri District of Okinawa Prefecture, and is divided between the villages of Minamidaitō and Kitadaitō, with uninhabited Okidaitōjima island administered as part of Kitadaitō municipality, although physically located closer to Minamidaitōjima.

Etymology
Kita, minami, and oki means, respectively, "north", "south", and "offshore" while daitō means "great east".

History
These islands have long been known in Okinawa as Ufuagari (“the Great East”). Okidaitōjima was first sighted by the Spanish explorer Bernardo de la Torre on 25 September 1543 during a failed attempt to find a northern route back to Mexico from the Philippines. Minamidaitōjima and Kitadaitōjima were recorded a few days later. They were visited later by European explorers of various nations, and were commonly known as the Borodino Islands after a Russian vessel surveyed them in 1820.

The islands remained uninhabited until formally claimed by the Empire of Japan in 1885. In 1900, a team of pioneers from Hachijōjima, one of the Izu Islands located 287 km south of Tokyo led by Tamaoki Han'emon (1838 – 1910), started a settlement on Minamidaitōjima, and began cultivating sugar cane. He subsequently led colonization efforts on Kitadaitōjima and Okidaitōjima. Those two islands had substantial deposits of guano, which was mined for phosphate-based fertilizer and gunpowder. By 1919, the population was more than 4000 people.

Kitadaitōjima is built of limestone from an ancient coral reef. In 1934, a team of Japanese scientists visited it in order to bore cores through the limestone, in an attempt to discover the nature of the rock upon which the limestone sits. In 1936, the bore hole reached a final depth of 431.67 meters. However, the scientists discovered nothing beyond fossil corals and ancient foraminiferous sands.

During World War II, Minamidaitōjima was repeatedly attacked by the United States Navy. After World War II all of the islands were occupied by the United States and administered as part of the United States Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands from 1950. The islands were returned to Japan in 1972.

Ecology
Being separated by more than 300 km from Ryukyu Islands, the nearest landmass, a unique and isolated ecosystem holding endemic species was established on Daitō Islands which doesn't include habu vipers naturally unlike many of Ryukyu Islands. Lack of snakes caused introduced and invasive toads to flourish and run rampant. Three main islands of Kita, Minami, and Oki were originally covered by virgin forests, however human activities including military exercise severely damaged and resulted in disappearing of forests and extinction of endemic species most notably on Okidaitōjima. Aside from eels, any fresh water fish and amphibians had not been recorded in pre-exploration periods. Entire archipelago excluding Okidaitōjima and smaller islands is listed as a Wildlife Protection Areas in Japan extending for 4,251 hectare with a special protection zone of 234 hectare.

Many of flora and fauna were named after the islands including Daito fruit bat, Daito buzzard, Daito Neolitsea, Daito scops owl (listed in the natural monument of Japan), Daito Stag Beetle, Daito Figulus binodulus (stag beetle), Daito Euterpnosia (cicada), Daito Little grebe, Daito Bulbul, Daito Mejiro, Daito Livistona, Daito Excoecaria, and Daito Crepidiastrum. Several of these such as Daito bush warbler, Daito varied tit, and Daito wren became extinct. The island group has been recognised as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International.

Migratory and oceanic species that breed on the islands include such as Laysan albatross, Black-winged stilt, tuna, skipjack tuna, Japanese Spanish mackerel, marlin, manta rays, Japanese spiny lobster, sea turtles, dolphins and Humpback whales. Among Ryukyu Islands, green pheasant is only present on Daitō Islands followed by corals and coral fish that are rare in the rest of the archipelago most notably Chaetodon auripes which is occasionally regarded as endemic to the islands and Hemitaurichthys thompsoni was only previously recorded in Bonin Islands. Black Jacks and knifejaws that have become rarer in Japanese waters still occur as well.

History of the European sightings of the Daitō Islands

 * First sighted by Spanish navigator Bernardo de la Torre in late September 1543. Okidaitōjima was charted as Abreojos ("Eyes Open!") and Minamidaitōjima and Kitadaitōjima as Las Dos Hermanas ("The Two Sisters").
 * There is little doubt that the two small Islas sin Provecho (Worthless Islands), sighted by the Spanish navigator Pedro de Unamuno on 28 July 1587, are the Daitō Islands.
 * The island of “Amsterdam”, which can be found to the west of “Malabrigo” on the maps of Quast, Martini, Sanson, and Nolin, according to Dahlgren, appears for the first time on a map of 1635. It was still searched for unsuccessfully by Beechey in 1827 and is clearly a longitudinal misplacement of Rasa Island, i.e., Okidaitōjima.
 * The Breskens-Eylant discovered on the Dutch expedition of Maarten Gerritszoon Vries (in the Castricum) and Hendrik Corneliszoon Schaep (in the Breskens) on 8 May 1643 at 24°43 'N and 151°31' 30" E of Teneriffa ( 135°01 '30" E of Gr.), a low lying little island about c. 1.5 mylen (scarcely 2.8 km) long, is likewise identical with Isla Rasa, now Okidaitōjima (24°28' N; 131°11 'E). On Quast's chart, which was also used on the Vries expedition, the island of "Malabrigo" is situated 21 mylen to the west of "Breskens-Eylant". In the Daghregister of the Batavia port authority for 14 December 1643, on Vries’ voyage back, this discovery is called "Malabriga".
 * On an 1817 London chart, at c. 24°45 N; 134°10 E, is the entry "I. Dolores 1773" which doubtless goes back to a sighting from a Spanish Manila galleon on her way from the Philippines to New Spain. We know that in 1773 the Spanish vessel Nuestra Señora de Consolación with Felipe Tompson as pilot sailed from Manila to California via New Guinea. On that voyage Helen Reef, Ngatik, and Oroluk in the Caroline Islands were sighted. Tompson's southern route may not go against a sighting of the Daitos in the same year, but indicates that he initially tried to pursue the same course as his compatriot Francisco Antonio Maurelle seven years later, in 1780/81, a course which eventually was abandoned in favor of the traditional route.
 * On a trading voyage aboard the Felice from Whampoa (Canton) to the northwest coast of America, the British captain John Meares on 4 and 5 April 1788 sighted three islands, which were believed to be a new discovery and called the "Grampus Isles". Notwithstanding the considerable longitudinal difference of 14°30 and 14°55 30, respectively, these Grampus Islands were Rasa (Okidaitōjima) and the Borodinos (Minamidaitōjima and Kitadaitōjima).
 * Kendrick Island (24°35 N; 134°00 E) is a further longitudinal misplacement of Rasa Island. The earliest chart on which to find it dates from 1805. The name probably refers to either John Kendrick senior, who from the second half of 1789 until his death in December 1794 was busy in the maritime regions in question (further trading voyages of his vessel Lady Washington continued until 1794) or John Kendrick junior, who in July 1789 entered the Spanish service in Nootka Sound and as "Don Juan Kendrick", "was sent to Spain in 1796 … [as] a skillful pilot in the galleon service". As John Kendrick, Jr. was on the Northwest Coast for the fur trade (as a supercargo on the Eliza) in 1799, his active time in Spanish service, during which he could have encountered Kendrick Island, is between 1789 and 1796. A contingent sighting must have taken place between the second half of 1789 and 1796, either on a trading voyage to or from East Asia or on the Manila galleon route from the Philippines to New Spain (Mexico).
 * According to Krusenstern, who refers to an Arrowsmith chart, the Bishop Rocks, lying at 25°20 N; 131°15 E, were discovered in 1796 or 1799 (the data are inconsistent) by Captain Bishop in the Nautilus. However, 1797 was the only year the Nautilus was east of the Ryukyu Islands, on her way from Macao to Kamchatka (16 June — 25 August 1797). It must have been during that voyage — any time between 6 and 31 July — that these rocks, presumably from afar, were sighted, which can be identified from their position with Minamidaitōjima, if not both Minamidaitōjima and Kitadaitōjima as a whole were perceived as "rocks".
 * Another sighting of Rasa Island occurred on 8 May 1807, by César-Joseph Bourayne, commander of the French frigate Canonnière, on the way from Cavite to Acapulco. The supposed discovery, whose position was fixed at 24°30 N; 130°18 30 E, was christened "Ile de la Canonnière".
 * The Western names that stuck to the Daitō Islands for more than 150 years were given in 1815 and in 1820: in 1815 Okidaitōjima was re-sighted by the last Manila galleon, the Spanish frigate San Fernando de Magallanes, and was called "Isla Rasa", i.e. flat island; the position was fixed at 24°26 '40" N; 131°03' 46" E of Gr; and on 20 June 1820 (st. v.; 2 July 1820 st. n.) Minamidaitōjima and Kitadaitōjima were re-sighted by the Russian Navy's Lieutenant Sachar Ivanovič Ponafidin, who called them Ostrova Borodino (Borodino Islands) after his ship of the Russian-American Company. The positions fixed by him were 25°50'N; 131°12 E for the southern and 26°02 N; 131°15 E for the northern island respectively.
 * "The brig Nile, of Boston, Captain Robert Bennet Forbes, in her passage from Canton to the Sandwich Islands, in August, 1825, passed two islands, the southernmost in lat. 25°42 N.; long. 131°13 E.; and the northern one in lat. 25°53 N.; long. 131°17 E. by good observations, and two chronometers", clearly a re-sighting of the Borodinos.

Oslo School of Architecture and Design

The Oslo School of Architecture and Design (Arkitektur- og designhøgskolen i Oslo, AHO) is an autonomous institution within the Norwegian university system. The School offers a unique research-based education with a strong international standing within the fields of architecture, urbanism, design, and landscape architecture.

AHO offers three full-time master's programmes: Master of Architecture, Master of Design and Master of Landscape Architecture – the last programme is offered in Oslo and at the Arctic University in Tromsø. The school also offers post-professional Master's courses in Urbanism and Architectural Conservation. AHO offers a single type of doctoral degree, the Doctor of Philosophy.

History
The school was established directly after World War II as a "crisis course" for students of architecture who were unable to finish their degree due to the outbreak of the war. Before this, the only Norwegian option for obtaining an architectural degree was at Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH) in Trondheim.

All through the first half of the twentieth century, a group of architects had worked hard towards the establishment of an architectural school that was more aesthetically and academically oriented than a polytechnic education. The school was ultimately situated in Oslo, since it was generally felt that the capital had access to many of the nation's best practicing architects.

Initially, the architectural course was part of the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry. In 1961 The Oslo School of Architecture was established as an independent school, and, from 1968, located in St. Olavs gate.

In 1979, the first formal education in industrial design in Norway was offered as a two-year postgraduate study. A full degree program was established in 1983, and in 1989 this was placed under the direction of The Norwegian Arts and Crafts School. Then, in 1996, the Institute of Industrial Design became part of the Oslo School of Architecture.

Master of Landscape Architecture became part of AHO's master's programmes in 2004. In 2005, The Oslo School of Architecture changed name to The Oslo School of Architecture and Design. In 2009, the Institute of Industrial Design changed its name to the Institute of Design.

In 2001, the school moved to new facilities at Vulkan, a revitalised industrial area near the Aker River, a central, creative and cultural part of the city. The school lays adjacent to the Oslo National Academy of the Arts and the recently opened food hall Mathallen Oslo. In 2005, the school updated its name to The Oslo School of Architecture and Design.

CI5: The New Professionals

CI5: The New Professionals is a British television action crime drama series, created and principally written by Brian Clemens, that first broadcast on Sky One on 19 September 1999. Billed as an updated version of the 1970s terrestrial television series The Professionals, the series is set in a fictional government agency known as CI5 (Criminal Intelligence Department 5). The original group of three men - Doyle, Bodie and their boss Cowley - are replaced by a team consisting of Harry Malone (Edward Woodward), Chris Keel (Kal Weber), Sam Curtis (Colin Wells) and Tina Backus (Lexa Doig). In a similar manner to The Professionals, the series included a number of high-budget impressive action sequences, often filmed in a James Bond-esque style.

An initial thirteen episode series was offered to all major British broadcasters. At one time, it was suggested that ITV would broadcast the series, but after attempting to secure a cheaper deal for broadcast rights, producer David Wickes told The Daily Mail that he "would sooner lock it away in a vault than hand it over to ITV for next to nothing." Sky chose to invest in the series, after considerable editing which removed a number of sequences deemed "excessively violent or disturbing".

Sky provided the show with considerable pre-publicity, but viewer response to the show was extremely poor, with the low production values and perceived low-quality acting being widely mocked among those who watched it. The inevitable comparisons to the original series were uniformly negative, also the series was not a success in the ratings. The overall reaction was that Sky, which normally aimed to maximise its value from any of its programming by repeating it extensively, chose never to re-broadcast it after its premiere run. Subsequently, the series was not repeated on any other satellite television channel until 2012. The series, in its original, uncut form, was eventually released on Region 2 DVD on August 8, 2016.

Development
David Wickes, an episode director for the original series, approached original series creator Brian Clemens in the early 1990s after realising how perpetually popular the original series remained through repeats and video sales. Having since formed his own production company, David Wickes Television, and having already produced several lucrative and award-winning productions, such as Jack The Ripper (co-starring The Professionals actor Lewis Collins), Wickes spent the 1990s devising the production of an updated show, based on Clemens' original intentions. Clemens intended for the original series to be an "ensemble" group, not just focusing on the three main characters. The new show was intended to return to this intended ideal, with the new 4.5 (originally Doyle) and 3.7 (Bodie) as part of a team effort.

Of the original series' stars, Gordon Jackson died in 1990 and allegedly, though not verified, Wickes "never even thought" of approaching Martin Shaw. Since some of the co-financing for the show was derived from his association with American TV networks, he did, however, approach Lewis Collins to see if he would reprise his role of Bodie as the Controller of CI5. This was because Collins had based himself almost exclusively in America since the mid-1990s. Collins declined the role, and so instead Edward Woodward, famous for his roles in Callan and The Equalizer was cast as CI5 Head, Harry Malone.

Actors Colin Wells and Kal Weber became Sam Curtis and Chris Keel respectively, whilst Lexa Doig was cast Tina Backus. Though the main "trio" along with Harry Malone carried the show, several other secondary roles such as Corrigan, Mills, Richards and Spencer were cast to ensure Clemens' original ideal was adhered to. Colin Wells and Kal Weber were claimed to get along with each other very well, and this purportedly encouraged Brian Clemens to continue writing for the new series. Of the thirteen-episode run, Clemens solely is credited with writing seven episodes and co-writing two others.

Broadcast
Despite the problems caused by the show initially being shown on a satellite channel few viewers in the United Kingdom had access to, the series was sold to over fifty countries worldwide and was hugely popular in Europe. The series first known broadcast was in Sweden on Kanal 5, where broadcast commenced on 3 September 1998. The series was shown three times consecutively due to its popularity. Denmark, Ireland, Hong Kong and the Philippines also broadcast the series in 1998, more than a year before the series finally reached British audiences. Some countries, such as New Zealand, dropped the series mid-run due to disappointing viewing figures.

For several years, the series remained unrepeated. However, in November 2011, GBC TV in Gibraltar began airing the series on Sundays from 6 November. Men & Movies then began broadcasting the series weekdays at 6:00 pm from 19 March 2012, although the episodes shown had even more judicious edits than when the series was shown by Sky One in 1999. In several episodes, whole gun battles were completely removed, with up to four minutes of extra footage cut out on top of the material already removed by Sky over a decade before. Movies4Men later began broadcasting the series in April 2012. Like the original broadcasts, the episodes were heavy edited to remove any strong violence and bloodshed. Episodes were shown weekdays at 8:00 pm.

In 2020, newly launched streaming service the Roku channel made the series available for free.

Release
In March 2012, it was revealed that work was under-way on two exclusively recorded audio commentaries with creator Brian Clemens and producer David Wickes, suggesting that a potential DVD release was forthcoming. Madman Entertainment were the first to release the series on DVD, exclusively for Region 4 in August 2012. In 2014, Visual Entertainment released the series in Region 1 as a stand-alone release and as a part of the bonus content for complete collection boxset of The Equalizer.

In 2016, Network acquired the rights for a Region 2 release, which included several bonus features, including trailers, promotional films, a clip from London Tonight, an electronic press kit, image gallery and script PDFs.

Talk:St. Joseph River (Lake Michigan)

East Race
Shouldn't the East Race in South Bend be mentioned? It is in the Sports section of the South Bend entry. Mapsax 00:15, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

St. Joseph River of Lake Michigan
I was born and raised in Berrien County, Michigan, spending the first 23 years of my life in and about the St. Joseph River drainage, and having recently returned there following retirement. I have never heard the river referred to locally as the St. Joseph River of Lake Michigan. This statement thus appears to have no basis in fact. John Trapp (talk) 18:44, 15 June 2008 (UTC)]]

 * I'm also from Berrien, and I agree. I changed the sentence to take out this reference. Zariane (talk) 16:20, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

2010 book
This article reviews The St. Joseph by Kit Lane, part of the Rivers of Michigan series (Pavilion Press of Douglas, Michigan, not to be confused with Philadelphia's Pavilion Press). Unfortunately there are no other details, including ISBN. Mapsax (talk) 03:26, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Found ISBN. Will add as ref. Mapsax (talk) 00:24, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

canoe route between where?
The text says the river is a canoe route between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River (or possibly one of its tributaries like Illinois, Kankakee, etc). Exactly where does the St. Joe's enter a tributary of the Mississippi?? And if it did, it'd therefore be a tributary of the Mississippi, and would drain Lake Michigan instead of draining into Lake Michigan. Right?? Sbalfour (talk) 02:39, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

DAM list update
I added all the dams I could find from the National Inventory of Dams. However, I have been unable to find the 17th dam. If anyone knows where this Dam is or the name I would love to know, so we can add it to the list.Jsgoodrich (talk) 07:44, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
