19th century
From the Unification of Germany in 1871 until the end of World War I, the German Empire did not have a national Ministry of War. Instead the larger German states (such as the kingdoms of Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony and Württemberg), insisting on their autonomy, each had an own war ministry. According to the military agreements the Prussian minister president Otto von Bismarck had forged with the South German states on the eve of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71, the major states were responsible also for the defence of the smaller states. However, the Imperial Navy from 1889 was overseen by a federal department, the Imperial Naval Office.

Weimar and Nazi Germany
After the war and the German Revolution of 1918–19, the Weimar Constitution provided for a unified, national ministry of defence, which was created largely from the Prussian Ministry of War and the Imperial Naval Office. The Ministry of the Reichswehr was established in October 1919, and had its seat in the Bendlerblock building.

In the context of the Treaty of Versailles and the "Law for the Creation of a provisional Reichswehr" of March 1919, the Reichspräsident became the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, whilst the Reich Minister of Defence exercised military authority. Only in the Free State of Prussia did military authority remain with the State Minister of War. After the Weimar Constitution came into force, the remaining war ministries in the states of Bavaria, Saxony, Württemberg and Prussia were abolished and military authority was concentrated in the Reich Minister of Defence. Command was exercised respectively by the Chief of the Heeresleitung (Army Command) and the Chief of the Marineleitung (Navy Command, see Reichsmarine). In 1929 a third office was established: the Ministerial Office, whose Chief functioned as the political representative of the Minister. The role of the General Staff was filled by the Truppenamt.

The Social Democratic politician Gustav Noske became the first Minister of Defence of Germany. After the Nazi Machtergreifung, when the Reichswehr was recreated as the Wehrmacht in 1935, the ministry was renamed Reichskriegsministerium (Reich Ministry of War); also, the Heeresleitung became the Oberkommando des Heeres (OKH), the Marineleitung became the Oberkommando der Marine (OKM) and the Oberkommando der Luftwaffe (OKL) was newly created. The Ministeramt (Ministerial Office) was renamed the Wehrmachtsamt.

In 1938, following the Blomberg-Fritsch Affair, Hitler himself exercised the functions of the Reich War Minister. The Wehrmachtsamt was turned into the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW; High Command of the Armed Forces), which formally existed until the end of World War II. The High Command was not a government ministry, but a military command, however.

Post-WW2
After World War II, West Germany started with preparations for rearmament (Wiederbewaffnung) in 1950, as ordered by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. After the outbreak of the Korean War, the United States called for a West German contribution to the defence of Western Europe (against the Soviet Union). Initially Gerhard Graf von Schwerin, a former Wehrmacht General, advised the Chancellor on these issues and led the preparations, but after Count Schwerin had talked to the press about his work, he was replaced by Theodor Blank, who was appointed as "Special Representative" of the Chancellor. As the rearmament plans met with harsh opposition by a wide circle within the West German population and contradicted the occupation statute, the government office responsible for the rearmament acted secretly, unofficially known as Amt Blank. By 1955, the number of employees had surpassed 1,300. On 7 June 1955 the office became the Ministry of Defence, or Bundesministerium für Verteidigung in German. The Bundeswehr was established and Germany joined the NATO the same year. In 1956, Germany reintroduced conscription, and the German military force quickly became the largest conventional military force in Western Europe. To confirm the ministry's importance, it was renamed Bundesministerium der Verteidigung on 30 December 1961, similar to the German names of the "classic" ministries of Finance, the Interior and Justice — though the federal minister is still denoted as Bundesminister für Verteidigung in Article 65a of the German Constitution.

Until 1960, the ministry had its seat in the Ermekeil barracks in Bonn. From 1960 onwards, it was moved to a new building complex at Hardthöhe.

Post-reunification
After German reunification, the Bendlerblock, former seat of its Weimar Republic predecessor, became the secondary seat of the ministry in 1993. The German military has become increasingly engaged in international operations since the early 1990s, and saw combat in the 1999 Kosovo War.

21st century
Until the Fall of Kabul in August 2021, Germany deployed for nearly 20 years its armed forces in Afghanistan as part of the International Security Assistance Force (2001-2015) and later the Resolute Support Mission (2015-2021). German forces withdrew on 29 June.

Robert Treat Paine Estate

The Robert Treat Paine Estate, known as Stonehurst, is a country house set on 109 acre in Waltham, Massachusetts. It was designed for philanthropist Robert Treat Paine (1835-1910) in a collaboration between architect Henry Hobson Richardson and landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. It is located at 100 Robert Treat Paine Drive. Since 1974 the estate has been owned by the City of Waltham and its grounds kept as a public park, and is believed to be the only residential collaboration by Richardson and Olmsted that is open to the public.

History
In 1866, Boston lawyer Robert Treat Paine Jr. and his wife Lydia (Lyman) commissioned architect Gridley James Fox Bryant to build a mansarded Second Empire summer house in Waltham. The house and its site were paid for by George Lyman, Lydia's father and owner of an adjacent summer residence, the Lyman Estate. This house was deemed too small for the Paines and their seven children. In October 1883, Richardson and Olmsted made their first visit to the property to discuss relocating the house and expanding it. In July 1884, Olmsted and Richardson produced sketches for a new site atop a rocky ridge with sweeping views to the southeast. In the spring of 1885, construction began while the Paine family traveled to Europe with Phillips Brooks, a family friend and pastor of Trinity Church in Boston. When Richardson died at age 47 in April 1886, the commission was close to completion. The terrace and some interior finishes were completed over the summer.

Robert Treat Paine Jr. died in 1910, and the Paine family continued to occupy the house until the mid-1960s. In 1974 Theodore Lyman Storer donated the 113 acre property to the city of Waltham.

Episode #2104 of This Old House featured a tour of the estate.

Fontmaster is a text-based social computer game. It can be played by anyone who is literate and has basic skills with a word processor.

Rules

Objective To win the game you must create a better, prettier document than your opponent(s). Beginning First thing than needs to be done is choosing a judge. This person has to be accepted as such by all participants and cannot play the game, because s/he will choose the winner. Next, the judge gives the participants identical copies of the base material, which they will use to create their documents. The judge may, but is not compelled to, set size restrictions on the documents (such as two pages). All players go to their respective workstations/computers/laptops and begin the typing process. To insure fairness, they have to use the same text-editor, chosen by the judge. And they're off! The players have a time limit for their work. The typical amount is one hour. The end of this period is announced by the judge, all must stop then and print their creations (if possible, if not they just let the judge inspect each document in digital form). Players can use any and all features of the program they're using, no holds barred. Scoring After the players have finished, the judge inspects their work assigning each document a score based on three criteria: *Validity, a measure of how well a player made use of the base material, accuracy of data. *Aesthetics, a measure of how pretty a document is, use of fonts, cliparts, ASCII art, colors, etc. *Spelling, a measure of the correct use of the language in question. Each of these criteria has a value between 0 and 10. Summed up they form the final score. Highest score wins. Additianally, each word the judge doesn't know the meaning of, counts as 1 bonus point. Prize Losers of the game are compelled to call the winner "Fontmaster" or "Master of the Keyboard" for one day. They are temporarily excused of this duty if the boss or teacher is within earshot. Target Audience People who will no doubt find this game entertaining are cubicle workers and students (especially Computer Sciences).

Should this be added to the list of things relating to the Alien universe? (Jamandell (d69) 22:12, 28 August 2005 (UTC))

Merge
Perhaps this article could be merged with Xenomorph as a subsection? There's already an article about the Queen on there and it would be logical to include this as part of it too. Predator 08:20, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge support. Not significant encyclopedic distinction. Go for it, Alien fans. --Mashford 18:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Support. Is this about Facehugger merging to Xenomorph or Superfacehugger merging to this one? Anyway, I support either or both cases, so my vote remains regardless. :-) Both Facehugger and Superfacehugger are just the plain ol' alien in a younger form, and I doubt either of these articles will grow very long. -- Northgrove 22:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Support - it'd be much more at home within the ain Xenomorph section. (Emperor 20:56, 23 October 2006 (UTC))

Implantation
When the facehugger attaches and 'implants' the egg thing, where does it grow. I always thought it grew in the stomach (possibly explaining the acid for blood thing?) however ive found some places say it grows in behind the solar-plexus, but how, wouldnt it be too much of a confined space? And how would the 'victim' survive with its trachea blocked once the facehugger had detached and the victim wakes up? Ian42 14:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Answer: Th two air sacks on the back of the facehugger feed the victim oxygen.

Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah

Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah (I'timād-ud-Daulah Maqbara) is a Mughal mausoleum in the city of Agra in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Often described as a "jewel box", sometimes called the "Bachcha Taj" or the "Baby Taj", the tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah is often regarded as a draft of the Taj Mahal.

Along with the main building, the structure consists of numerous outbuildings and gardens. The tomb, built between 1622 and 1628, represents a transition between the first phase of monumental Mughal architecture – primarily built from red sandstone with marble decorations, as in Humayun's Tomb in Delhi and Akbar's tomb in Sikandra – to its second phase, based on white marble and pietra dura inlay, most elegantly realized in the Taj Mahal.

The mausoleum was commissioned by Nur Jahan, the wife of Jahangir, for her father Mirzā Ghiyās Beg, originally a Persian Amir in exile, who had been given the title of I'timād-ud-Daulah (pillar of the state). Mirzā Ghiyās Beg was also the grandfather of Mumtāz Mahāl (originally named Arjumand Banu Begum, daughter of Asaf Khan), the wife of the emperor Shah Jahan, responsible for the construction of the Taj Mahal.

Tomb

Located on the eastern bank of the Yamuna River, the mausoleum is set in a large cruciform garden criss-crossed by water courses and walkways. The mausoleum itself covers about twenty-three meters square, and is built on a base about fifty meters square and about one meter high. On each corner are octagonal towers, about thirteen meters tall.

The walls are made up from white marble from Rajasthan encrusted with semi-precious stone decorations: cornelian, jasper, lapis lazuli, onyx, and topaz formed into images of cypress trees and wine bottles, or more elaborate decorations like cut fruit or vases containing bouquets. Light penetrates to the interior through delicate jali screens of intricately carved white marble. The interior decoration is considered by many to have inspired that of the Taj Mahal, which was built by her stepson, Mughal ruler Shah Jahan.

Many of Nūr Jahān's relatives are interred in the mausoleum. The only asymmetrical element of the entire complex is that the cenotaphs of her father and mother have been set side-by-side, a formation replicated in the Taj Mahal.

History
This is the tomb of Mirza Ghiyas Beg and his wife Asmat Beghum. He hailed from Iran and served Akbar. He was the father of the famous Nur-Jehan and grandfather of Mumtaz Mahal of the Taj Mahal fame. He was made Vazir (Prime Minister) after Nur Jehan's marriage with Jehangir in 1611. He held the mansab of 7000/7000 and the title : "I'timad-Ud-Daulah" (The Lord treasurer). He died at Agra in 1622, a few months after his wife's death. Nur Jehan built this tomb for her parents between 1622 and 1628. Her own tomb and that of Jehangir are at Lahore.

The Tomb of I'timad-Ud-Daulah is a masterpiece of the domeless class of Mughal tombs. It is the first building finished in white marble and marks the transitional phase from red stone to white marble, from Akbar's tomb Sikandra to the Taj Mahal. It reflects the personality of the polished Iranian who lies buried here, and, more than that, the formal and ornamental character of its builder Nur Jehan who ruled the Mughal Empire from behind the curtain for 16 years (1611–27).

Architecture
The tomb, situated on the eastern bank of the river Yamuna, is planned in the centre of a Char-Bagh (four-quartered garden), with the usual enclosing walls and side buildings. As conditioned by its situation, the main gate is on the eastern side. Ornamental gateways with prominent lawns are built in the middle of north and south sides. A multi-storeyed open pleasure pavilion is there on the western side, overlooking the river impressively. These buildings are of red sandstone with bold inlaid designs in white marble.

Shallow water channels, sunk in the middle of the raised stone paved pathways, with intermittent tanks and cascades, divided the garden into four equal quarters. They are only slightly raised from the parterres which could be converted into flower beds. Space for large plants and trees was reserved just adjoining the enclosing walls, leaving the mausoleum fully open to view.

The main tomb of white marble is marvellously set in the centre of the garden. It stands on a plinth of red stone having in the middle of each side, facing the central arch, a lotus tank with fountain. The tomb is square in plan with octagonal towers, surmounted by chhatris, attached to its corners. Each facade has three arches: the central one providing the entrance, and the other two on the sides being closed by jalis. Each side is protected by a chhajja and a jali balustrade above it. There is no dome; instead, the building is roofed by a square baradari having three arched openings on each side which are closed by jalis except in the middle of the north and south sides. It is protected by a chhajja above which is the chaukhandi (pyramidal) roof, crowned by lotus petals and kalash finials. The interior is composed of a central square hall housing the cenotaphs of Asmat Begum, Mirza Ghiyas, four oblong rooms on the sides and four square rooms on the corners, all interconnected by common doorways. The cenotaph of Asmat Begum occupies the exact centre of the hall. Corner rooms have tombstones of Nur Jehan's other relations.

The most important aspect of this tomb is its polychrome ornamentation. Beautiful floral, stylized, arabesque and geometrical designs have been depicted on the whole exterior in inlay and mosaic techniques, in various pleasing tints and tones. Wine vase, dish and cup, cypress, honeysuckle, guldasta (flower bouquet) and such other Iranian motifs, typical of the art of Jehangir, have been emphatically used. Some compositions have been inspired by the plant studies of Ustad Mansur Naqqash, the famous "fauna and flora" painter of Jehangir. Some stylized designs have also been done in exquisite carving, both incised and relief. They look like embroidery work done in ivory. Delicacy is their quality. Stucco and painting have been done in the interior where minute animal and human figures have also been shown. The inspiration has come from the contemporary art of painting. There is no glazed tiling and the decoration is largely by coloured stones which is an indigenous development. By far, it is the most gorgeously ornamented Mughal building. It testifies that "the Mughals began like Titans and finished like jewellers". Chapters 48 and 73 of the Quran have been carved on the 64 panels on the external sides of the ground floor. The date of writing A.H. 1037/1627 A.D. is mentioned in the last panel. Chapter 67 of the Quran is inscribed on the 12 internal panels of the upper pavilion. This is protected and conserved by the Archaeological Survey of India.

Pictures at Cruciform curve
Thank you for those pictures. It inded makes a lot of difference. But they are somehow blurry, I wonder why. Did you save directly to PNG from Maple? I think one can save with a bigger resolution, and then they may look a bit better. Or one may save them as postscript, and then convert to PNG in some image editor. Also, the number on the axes could be a big bigger (I am sure there is a parameter in Maple to tweak that).

This are all very minor things, it is great you made the pictures. But since you went all the way to make them, putting some minor touches would probably take little time and improve the images a bit. Thank you again for making the pictures. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 18:58, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Proof that 0.999... equals 1
Greetings, and welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you'll enjoy the community and be a valuable contributor.

You have shown an interest in the article Proof that 0.999... equals 1. Both of your attempts have been rebuffed, so I thought I'd be nice and stop by your page to explain some issues in more detail.

First, you changed a paragraph of discussion to a lump of LaTeX. Oleg Alexandrov reverted that with the comment "Made the whole thing into an ugly image. As per the math style manual, that is to be avoided." His decision was perfectly correct, but his explanation may have left you with the misconception that the only objection was the use of LaTeX. Your present attempt uses the talk page, which is the preferred path for a delicate article. You have avoided the LaTeX and have asked for feedback, which is good Wikipedian behavior.

Unfortunately, you have innocently stepped into an article best left alone. Except for fixing a spelling error, almost any change to the article is liable to precipitate trouble. It may seem like a simple, elementary-school topic. That could hardly be further from the truth! It is in fact subtle, difficult, and confusing. A typical university education would not equip you with the necessary background, probably not even as a mathematics major. Grammar school students get it wrong, but so do high school students, the general public and students of calculus (analysis).

For example, what does it mean to multiply an infinite decimal fraction by 10? This is not something we can take for granted! And what does it mean to subtract one infinite decimal fraction from another. This is a major issue, yet you ignore it. Then we must deal with the infinite result of the subtraction, and assert that we have only zeros, which we discard to get the integer 9. Do you have any idea of the heated discussions this step can raise? I think not. Finally, we go from arithmetic to algebra. Not only is this significant mathematically, it's also a potential obstacle for young readers not familiar with algebra. You assume the algebra without comment.

Each omission is potentially explosive, as history has shown. The article in its current form has been stable for some time now, the longest ever. Please, just leave well enough alone. I do hope you'll understand. Thanks. --KSmrqT 07:44, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I have responded to KSmrq on the talk page, but let me summarize: no matter how delicately you treat your digits, there will always be some step at which you must assume that your numbers are real numbers. The quest for precision in the proofs is futile and must be abandoned. Jesushaces, your proposal might not be the best way, but you're looking in the right direction.

Thanks for your concern, but I didn't mean my post as an attack per se; if anything, I'm trying to de-escalate on Wikipedia by giving up on defending myself or the actual mathematics. On the other hand, Uncyclopedia actually encourages flamewars. Melchoir 22:35, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll respond on my own page... Melchoir 23:03, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Here's an attempt (hopeful, but, it's something) to rewrite the article in such a way that both parties are satisfied, please edit it, but keep in mind that the intended focus of this article is
 * To prove that 0.999... equals 1 exactly
 * To contain a section which mentions the reasons why people think that 0.999 is less than 1
 * Have a 'stable' version of the article
 * End the discussion

Agreed
Yep it's one of the main problems for vandal fighters. and YTMND is the worst culprit. Ebaums World has been the victim of such attacks more than a few times. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 06:08, 18 February 2006 (UTC) --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 06:08, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Your proposed revision to You Know What
I think it's a good start, although I think that the main section you added (the reasons why people may think 0.999... < 1) needs some expansion. If it's ok with you, I'd like to make a start on how I feel it needs a little more (perhaps with brief explanations why some of the more basic ones are flawed).

Old Skool Esperanzial note
Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Cel es tianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Jamboree (Beat Happening album)

Jamboree is the second album by American indie rock band Beat Happening, released in 1988 through K Records and Rough Trade Records. All songs were produced by Steve Fisk with assistance from Screaming Trees members Mark Lanegan and Gary Lee Conner (who plays a brief guitar solo on "Midnight a Go-Go"), except "Cat Walk," produced by Patrick Maley, and "The This Many Boyfriends Club," recorded live by Rich Jensen.

Background
Despite frequent appearances on compilation albums by K Records, the band did not release any releases of their own until 1987, with the arrival of the "Look Around" single. This was soon followed by the "Honey Pot" single in early 1988.

Content
The album marks a darker approach to the twee pop for which the band is known, due largely to a increased use of guitar distortion, more professional production, and increased emphasis on Calvin Johnson's deep voice than in the group's earlier recordings. The majority of the songs are sung by Calvin Johnson, while Heather Lewis only provides vocals on two songs, the uncharacteristically brash "In Between" and the more typically understated "Ask Me." At the time of the album's release, Johnson described Jamboree's sound as "dark and sexy." Still, the band retained their emphasis on exuberance over musicianship, as Bret Lunsford stated in an interview that, while recording album opener "Bewitched," his guitar string got stuck on a protruding screw and he continued to play through the song, hitting the string a bit harder until it became unstuck. Author Dave Thompson, in his book Alternative Rock (2000), wrote that it "captur[es] the same aura of unamplified amplification" as on Rock 'n' Roll with the Modern Lovers (1977) by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers.

Release and reception
Jamboree  and the accompanying Crashing Through EP were Beat Happening's first releases to garner wide-spread distribution, as the result of K Records linking with Sub Pop. Johnson had previously contributed to a fanzine put out by Sub Pop prior to the existence of the band. It got additional attention thanks to Fisk, Mark Lanegan and Gary Lee Conner of Screaming Trees working on the album. Beat Happening and would later issue a split EP, Beat Happening/Screaming Trees, that same year.

AllMusic said of the album: "...each cut is a marvel of innocence and ingenuity." Thompson saw it as a "rougher, more varied set than the defiantly monotone debut, where ghosts of The Cramps and the grunge-to-come collide in deft delirium."

Two tracks from Jamboree, "Bewitched" and "Indian Summer," were listed as essential listening in Pitchfork's 2005 article on twee pop entitled "Twee as Fuck." "Indian Summer" is perhaps the group's best-known song, as it was famously covered by dream pop group Luna, whose lead singer, Dean Wareham, joked in The Shield Around the K: The Story of K Records, a documentary film on the history of Johnson's K Records, that the song was "indie's 'Knocking on Heaven's Door'-- everybody's done it." The song was also covered by Ben Gibbard for the soundtrack to the Kurt Cobain documentary About a Son; Jamboree was reportedly one of Cobain's favorite albums.

Track listing
All tracks were written by Beat Happening.

Total Defence (Singapore)

Total Defence is Singapore's whole-of-society national defence concept, based on the premise that every aspect of society contributes to the collective defence of the state.

The strategy was first introduced in 1984 and adopted from the national defence strategies of Sweden and Switzerland. It initially consisted of five key tenets; military, civil, economic, social, and psychological, with the sixth, digital, being introduced in 2019. The strategy was amplified by the government slogan: There's A Part For Everyone, with a corresponding national song named after it when first introduced.

Total Defence Day is commemorated on 15 February annually, the day colonial Singapore surrendered to Japan in 1942 during World War II.

History
On 9 August 1965, Singapore separated from Malaysia to become an independent state; conscription for all able-bodied males aged 16 and above was subsequently implemented in the form of National Service (NS) on 15 March 1967. By the 1980s, military defence was recognised to be an established fact of life in the island city-state, though several Members of Parliament (MPs) questioned the effectiveness of the Ministry of Defence's outreach program on inoculating the public on the concept of total defence. A series of questions were put forth to Minister for Defence Goh Chok Tong during a parliamentary sitting on 16 March 1983. The following day, Minister of State for Defence Yeo Ning Hong replied that progress was underway on a program that would focus on five main points.

During Civil Defence Week on 24 September 1983, Minister for Home Affairs Chua Sian Chin acknowledged that the government had erred in not introducing civil defence alongside military defence, resulting in public apathy toward the former, and that it was seeking to rectify the problem by integrating both into the total defence strategy.

On 6 January 1984, the government announced the creation of the civilian-led Advisory Council on Community Relations in Defence (Accord) to promote its media strategy and raise public awareness of the program, inviting Members of Parliament, businessmen, trade unionists and community leaders to join. It saw the necessity for civilians to take the lead in promoting the total defence strategy, instead of military personnel. The council would be established on 18 January 1984.

Total Defence was officially proclaimed as Singapore's overarching defence strategy on 22 January 1984 with five pillars: military, civil, economic, social, and psychological. It received leading headlines in state-run newspapers carrying commentaries on its necessity juxtaposed with warfare scenarios going beyond the traditional scope of the military. Over the coming months, the Ministry of Defence launched a campaign to promote Total Defence in schools, business communities and amongst the people. Older people who had been through the Japanese occupation were noted to be more "enthusiastic" in supporting it. Competitions were held to create a logo and song based around the strategy. In 2019, digital defence was added as the sixth pillar of Total Defence, with the government highlighting increasing threats in the cybersphere. There have been calls by Members of Parliament to add climate defence as the seventh pillar, to highlight Singapore's vulnerability to climate change and rising seas.

The strategy has seen widespread usage amongst successive People's Action Party (PAP) governments since its inception, being invoked during the 2003 SARS, 2009 H1N1 and COVID-19 pandemics, 1997 and 2008 economic crises, and annual Southeast Asian haze. The rise of domestic and international terrorism abroad is also cited by the Singapore Government as the necessity of Total Defence to prevent or respond to an attack.

Six pillars
The Singapore Government has justified Total Defence on several factors: the island city-state's small size and marginal population; lack of natural resources; and a racial and religious-diverse population. It states that these factors make Singapore vulnerable to threats such as international terrorism, natural disasters, pandemics and disinformation campaigns, that could result in an economic slowdown.

Military defence

Military defence involves heavy investment in armaments, training and equipment for the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), with the Singapore Government maintaining a defence budget ranked amongst the highest in the ASEAN region. A capable armed forces is seen as a necessity to deter potential aggressors. In addition to two years of national service, the onus is placed on reservist troops to maintain their physical fitness through annual individual physical proficiency tests (IPPT) and in-camp training (ICT). Corporate companies are encouraged to create "pro-NS" policies for reservists, such as training spaces, monetary incentives and flexible working hours, and are recognised at an annual awards ceremony.

Civil defence

Civil defence broadly refers to activities of the Singapore Police Force and Singapore Civil Defence Force to restore a sense of normalcy during a national crisis with the aid of active civilian participation. Civilians are trained in first aid, urban survival, and management of blood, water and food resources. Donating blood to national blood banks, volunteer work, and being a medical frontliner are also activities seen as contributing to civil defence.

Economic defence
Economic defence relates to governmental efforts to sustain and develop Singapore's economy, while a policy is undertaken by the government for workers to upgrade their skill sets. The Singapore Government also stockpiles essential supplies of food, medication and personal protective equipment, in addition to pursuing secondary supply chains, so as to offset potential disruptions. The conservation of essential resources including water is placed under economic defence.

Social defence
Social defence stems from official policies to maintain social cohesion among Singapore's diverse population through multiculturalism. As part of state-backed efforts, religious leaders engage in interfaith sessions through the Inter-Religious Organisation; such efforts are seen as necessary by the Singapore Government to counter non-state actors influence operations. Improving relations between neighbours is also listed as part of social defence.

Psychological defence
Psychological defence refers to the Singapore Government's programme to strengthen "resolve and resilience" amongst its citizens to face unexpected crises; it is also cited as necessary to combat fake news. The government views psychological resilience as the bedrock of a "social compact" and seeks to emulate Finland's example. Efforts to improve mental health in Singapore is also placed under psychological defence.

Digital defence
Digital defence refers to efforts to increase awareness of online security threats, including misinformation, cyberattacks and phishing scams. The threat is seen as particularly acute due to the country's "open and connected" nature and governmental plans to orientate the country around a digital economy and the Smart Nation concept. All civil servants are mandated to undergo cybersecurity training, with the government also increasing audits of state infrastructure.

Total Defence Day
Total Defence Day was added to the list of dates for schools to commemorate on 17 May 1997, and first nationally marked on 15 February 1998 with the Singapore Civil Defence Force sounding the Important Message Signal through the island-wide Public Warning System sirens and local radio stations for a minute. The date was chosen to mark the British surrender of Singapore to Japan during World War II. At its inception, the siren was sounded at 12:05pm Singapore Standard Time; this was changed to 6:20pm in 2015 to mark the actual time of the surrender in 1942.

Schools conduct emergency preparedness drills, food and electricity rationing, and may organise tours to government exhibitions. The defence minister also delivers an address on the day prior, along with other ministers.

A memorial service had been held annually at the War Memorial Park since 1967 to recognise civilians who lost their lives during the Japanese occupation. The event would usually involve over 1,000 participants prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but was reduced to 50 for 2021.

Logo
The competition to design a logo for Total Defence was announced on 8 May 1985 before being officially launched on 1 June. Contestants were divided into four segments of society: community, art student, school and Singapore Armed Forces personnel, with no limitations to the number of submissions per individual. The Ministry of Defence stipulated design rules that the proposed logo not exceed three colours or be based on any language. The submission phase ended on 3 July, with twelve designs thereafter selected for a public vote. The final design was to be unveiled on National Day on 9 August 1985.

The winning design was created by freelance artist Berwin See Hak Gei. The logo was outlined as a hand in salute, with five arrows representing the five original pillars. The crescent moon and five stars, and the colours of red and white, are elements from the national flag. Over the years, the logo was adapted to reflect the different campaign themes, but retained its distinctive five arrows design. The changes include updating the tagline which accompanied the logo, smoothening the sharp edges of the original and integrating the left-most arrow into the body in 2009, and overlaying a metallic sheen in 2017.

The addition of digital defence mandated that the logo be redesigned to incorporate the sixth element, with a new competition launched on 17 September 2019. As with the first competition, 10 designs were chosen by the organisers and put up for a public vote, which ended on 29 December. The winner, Samantha Alexa Teng, a teacher at Queensway Secondary School was awarded her prize on 15 February 2020.

Campaign posters and themes
Nexus is the agency responsible for Total Defence and national education under the Ministry of Defence. Earlier campaign posters and themes focused on military defence and civil defence, but has since evolved to also include the other four elements.

Vegoose

Vegoose was an annual Halloween music and arts festival that took place in 2005, 2006, and 2007 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Unlike the Bonnaroo Music Festival — put on by the same organizers, Superfly Productions and AC Entertainment — Vegoose does not offer on-site camping. In addition to music, the festival features a score of activities, including celebrity impersonators, a wedding chapel, costume contests, a massive pumpkin display, and more.

The festival's current state is in question and did not make a return in 2008. However, the festival may make its return in the near future. A.C. Entertainment and Superfly instead focused their energy on a new festival in San Francisco, the Outside Lands Festival.

Vegoose 2007
The third annual installment of this dynamic entertainment experience took place in Las Vegas over Halloween weekend at Sam Boyd Stadium on Saturday, October 27 and Sunday, October 28. 'Vegoose at Night,' a series of nighttime concerts, presented a variety of artists at marquee venues throughout the city starting on Friday, October 26 and running through Sunday, October 28. The popularity of the event directly affected Vegoose's future. After a decline in attendance in 2006, AC stated in the Las Vegas Review Journal that there had to be an improvement. The official attendance was 40,000 for both days (32,000 in 2006). Executive Producer: Stephen Warner, Directed by: Keith Hobelman.

Talk:Short Tucano

Bird
OK, fun, but where is really the article about the Tucano (Tucanus spp. -- bird)? User:Mdob | Talk 22:14, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

 * The Tucano in English is the Toucan. Bastie 06:13, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Jet?
Why does the article state that this prop aircraft is a fast-jet trainer, when it is, clearly, not a jet? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.219.255.133 (talk) 12:10, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The aircraft is designed to have jet-like handling characteristics Dorset100 (talk) 13:40, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Shorts Tucano
I propose that this article be renamed Shorts Tucano as no-one ever calls the Shorts Tucano the Short Tucano (ie it's made by Shorts, not that the aircraft is not as long as other types of Tucano). See the article on Short Brothers for confirmation of this usage. 217.34.229.213 14:58, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Disagree - Short Tucano is the more common and official name for the aircraft. MilborneOne (talk) 14:17, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I too disagree. The company itself has traditionally been referred to as "Shorts" but the aircraft have either been "Short xxx" or "Short Brothers xxx", almost always the former. There are two exceptions: the Shorts 330/Shorts 360, where a rename should be considered; at present there is a redirect in place for the "Shorts" variants. I did read about the reason for these exceptions somewhere, but cannot recall where. It may have something to do with them being Shorts aircraft under Bombadier management. --TraceyR (talk) 16:38, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Rate of climb
The text says the Tucano can climb much faster than the Jet Provost -- but the statistics box gives a slower rate of climb than the one in the Provost article. Any ideas? Manormadman (talk) 03:24, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

The RoC given for the Jet Provost is only valid at sea level and it ran out of puff quite quickly, given that the Viper is a pure jet engine. It took about 15 mins to reach 15,000 feet, hence training time at altitude was limited on a one-hour sortie. Possel47 (talk) 20:24, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Proposed merger
I suggest this page to be merged with Embraer EMB 312 Tucano, this type is a variation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dafranca (talk • contribs) 19:24, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Oppose it has some major differences from the Brazil-built version more than enough for a seperate article. MilborneOne (talk) 18:31, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Mario Adorf

Mario Adorf (born 8 September 1930) is a German actor, considered to be one of the great veteran character actors of European cinema. Since 1954, he has played both leading and supporting roles in over 200 film and television productions, among them the 1979 Oscar-winning film The Tin Drum. He is also the author of several successful mostly autobiographical books.

Biography
Adorf was born in Zürich, Switzerland, the illegitimate child of Matteo Menniti, an Italian surgeon and Alice Adorf, a German medical assistant. He grew up in his maternal grandfather's hometown, Mayen, where he was raised by his unmarried mother. He rose to fame in Europe, and particularly Germany, and also made appearances in international films, including Ten Little Indians and Smilla's Sense of Snow. He also played a small role in the BBC adaptation of John le Carré's Smiley's People as a German club owner. He also appeared in a number of Italian movies.

In the 1960s, he married Lis Verhoeven. The couple had a child, Stella, prior to their divorce. He starred with Barbara Bouchet in Milano Calibro 9 in 1972. In 1985, he married Monique Faye.

Adorf has expressed regret that he declined roles in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather (1972) and Billy Wilder's One, Two, Three (1961). He also turned down the role of General Mapache in Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch (1969), because he felt the character was too violent. In 1996, he provided the German dubbing voice for the character Draco in Dragonheart, a role performed by Sean Connery.

User:Ásgeir IV.~enwiki

My name is Hrafn and I live in Iceland. The name means Raven. The first place I lived in, although at that time not yet as an independent individual, was the city of Freiburg im Üchtland in Switzerland. The place in which I learned to speak was Edinburgh, Scotland. After I discovered Wikipedia two days ago (this is written in the wee hours of Monday, August 8, 2005) I haven't really been able to leave. You see I totally get the spirit of open source: "Tolerate others to steal from thee, thusly steal from them!" My biggest interests are all things technical, all things environmentprotectionalistical, and not least all things environmentprotectionalisticaltechnical. I also adore the English language for its short, streamlined words shaped by the laziness of generations. Laziness is ultimately a very underrated resource. It was the main incentive for every major invention. Long live inventions (and the outstanding psychological prerequisites shared by the superhumans achieving them!)

The table in this section contains a mixture of units and a total doesn't therefore make much sense. The 2003 total is the same as the value in the DfT Maritime Statistics 2003 for tonnage. It would make sense to convert all the values into 000s tonnes but I don't have the equivalent values for the other years. Bornintheguz 22:17, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

"(We don't need EVERY detail about his family tree, okay?)"
Hello Asgeir: I guess if you can have two pages here then I ccan post this at both of them. I am almost in an editing war regarding an article [that I did not write] about Einar H. Kvaran. the last edit came with the comment "(We don't need EVERY detail about his family tree, okay?)" I figured that if every Icelander on wikipedia suggested that in fact we do need every detail - or at least a lot of them - then perhaps this person would back off a bit. If you go to the article and look at the history you will pick up the thread.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Ásgeir IV.. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ásgeir IV.~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 04:24, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

This is my soapbox. It is a place where I ponder, rant, and/or rave about the particulars of Wikipedia. Read at your own risk...

Oh and if you want to comment you can do so here or at the associated talk page.

Some of these are so big that I may as well read a book while they load. Now I do have DSL, I can just imagine what folks with dial-up must think...

Check out the list here.

 * As far as I know, I don't have a relationship with MLG, never got the nerve to ask her out... seriously though, I play Halo 2 but not well enough to quit my job. I am a fan of some of the players, particularily Lil Poison, that is because I have a kid in my household that is of the same age group. --Robert Harrisontalk contrib 16:58, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Haha. If you have Live and fancy talking/playing, add B1ot. I don't go on that much anymore and certainly not much over the coming days but hopefully we can talk after that. I thought a thing worth adding would be details about players such as Lil P. There is almost enough on him to make his own wiki page... he does have his own website after all (is that still around?) but maybe that would be over the top.

Interstate 291 (Connecticut)

Interstate 291 (I-291) is a short auxiliary Interstate Highway in the state of Connecticut that starts at I-91 at its junction with Route 218 in Windsor and ends at I-84 and I-384 in Manchester. It serves as a northeastern bypass of Hartford. According to the Federal Highway Administration, the official length of I-291 is 6.02 mi; however, the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) includes the 0.38 mi of the exit ramp that I-291 uses to merge with eastbound I-84, making their recorded length 6.4 mi long.

I-291 is also known as the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway for its entire length.

Route description
I-291 begins at I-91 in Windsor at an interchange that also provides access to and from Route 218. Heading southeast, I-291 has a partial interchange with Route 159, then crosses the Connecticut River on the Bissell Bridge. Originally constructed in 1957, the Bissell Bridge charged a toll until 1988 when the bridge was reconstructed. It has an interchange with US Route 5 (US 5) in South Windsor at its junction with Route 30, and ends at I-84 in Manchester in a complex interchange that also provides access to I-384. At the west end, stub ramps continue about 1/2 mi past I-91 to provide access to Route 218.

History
The current I-291 is only the northeastern arc of what was originally planned as a three-quarter beltway around Hartford. From Windsor, I-291 would have continued to cross I-84 again in Farmington, and end at I-91 in Rocky Hill. While the remainder of I-291 was canceled amid environmental concerns, those two interchanges were built as part of I-84 and I-91 construction and stood unused for over 20 years as ramp stubs. Half of the stack interchange at I-84 was eventually placed in service when Route 9 was extended to run along a portion of the I-291 right of way south of I-84 in 1992. The I-91 ramp was demolished in 1999 during expansion of I-91. The northernmost 2 mi of the Route 9 expressway follows the original path of the southwest segment of I-291 from I-84. Route 9 currently serves as the southwest quadrant around Hartford leaving only the northwest section of I-291 unbuilt.

Route 218 is a four-lane divided arterial route serving what would have been the northwest quadrant of the I-291 beltway. When the interchange with I-91 was completed in the early 1990s, a pair of ramp stubs connecting I-291 to Route 218 were built to the west of I-91 in anticipation that the northwest leg of I-291 might eventually be built. Over the years, there have been discussions of constructing a multilane surface road from the I-84/Route 9 stack interchange to Route 218 to complete the northwest bypass of Hartford, but funding and potential impacts to the reservoirs that supply Hartford with much of its drinking water have prevented anything from being built north of I-84. The CTDOT headquarters was built on land originally acquired for I-291 where it would have intersected US 5/Route 15 in Newington. A small portion of what was to be the northwest leg of I-291 was built along Route 218 west of I-91, which is now used as a commuter parking lot.

Exit list
Exits are currently sequential but are planned to be converted to mileage-based exit numbering in 2025.

Anatole Mallet

Jules Theodore Anatole Mallet (23 May 1837 – 10 October 1919) was a Swiss mechanical engineer, who was the inventor of the first successful compound system for a railway steam locomotive, patented in 1874. He is known for having invented three important forms of compound locomotive.

In 1876 he introduced a series of small two-cylinder compound 0-4-2T tank locomotives for the Bayonne-Anglet-Biarritz Railway in France.

He subsequently designed an articulated compound system with a rigid chassis at the rear carrying two high-pressure cylinders, and two low-pressure ones mounted on a swivelling front truck. This was patented in 1884 with full rights granted in 1885. This was first used for a series of narrow gauge locomotives specially built by the Decauville Company in 1888 for the Paris Exposition of 1889. This arrangement became known as the Mallet locomotive. The final developments of these in the USA were some of the largest steam locomotives ever built.

A third compound locomotive, less well-known, was a tandem compound developed in 1890 for SACM as a collaboration with Alfred de Glehn and the Russian A. Borodine. The high and low pressure cylinders were mounted on a common axis, with the high pressure ahead. Unlike the US tandem compounds, the high and low pressure cylinders were cross-connected between sides, which also required them to be receiver compounds with an intermediate reservoir as a pair of curved pipes passing through the smokebox. Large numbers of these, mostly a 2-8-0 derivative, were built for Russian and Hungarian railways making them the most-produced type of tandem compound locomotive. Z. Kordina's design for Hungarian State Railways was a similar 4-4-0, although outside-framed and with the low-pressure cylinders ahead of the high pressure.

He was awarded the Elliott Cresson Medal of The Franklin Institute in 1908.

Tikamgarh

Tikamgarh (also spelled as Tikamgadh)is a town and a tehsil in Tikamgarh district in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The city serves as a district headquarters. The earlier name of Tikamgarh was Tehri (i.e., a triangle) consisting of three hamlets, forming a rough triangle. In Tikamgarh town there is locality still known as 'Purani Tehri' (Old Tehri). Until Indian independence in 1947, Tikamgarh, formerly called Tehri, was part of the kingdom of Orchha, which was founded in the 16th century by the Bundeli chief Rudra Pratap Singh, who became the first King of Orchha. In 1783 the capital of the state was moved to Tehri, about 40 mi south of Orchha, which was home to the fort of Tikamgarh, and the town eventually took the name of the fort. The district is famous for the old fort of Kundar known as Garh Kundar, which was built by Khangars and remained the capital of Khangar rulers from 1180 to 1347.

Origin of the name
The district is named after its headquarter, Tikamgarh. The original name of the town was Tehri. In 1780, the ruler of Orchha Vikramajit (1776–1817) shifted his capital from Orchha to Tehri and renamed it Tikamgarh (Tikam is one of the names of Krishna) Because Raja Vikramajit Is A Devotie Of Lord Krishna.

History
The area covered by this district was part of the Princely State of Orchha till its merger with the Indian Union. The Orchha state was founded by Rudra Pratap in 1501. After merger, it became one of the eight districts of Vindhya Pradesh state in 1948. Following the reorganisation of states on 1 November 1956 it became a district of the newly carved Madhya Pradesh

Orchha was founded in the 1501 AD, by the Bundela chief, Rudra Pratap Singh, who became the first King of Orchha, (r. 1501-1531) and also built the Fort of Orchha. He died in an attempt to save a cow from a lion. The Chaturbhuj Temple was built, during the time of Akbar, by the Queen of Orchha, while Raj Mandir was built by 'Madhukar Shah ju Dev' during his reign, 1554 to 1591.

During the rule of Mughal Emperor, Jahangir, his ally, Vir Singh Deo (r. 1605-1627) reigned here, and it was during this period that Orchha reaches its height, and many extant palaces are a reminder of its architectural glory, including Jahangir Mahal (b. ca 1605) and Sawan Bhadon.

In the early 17th century, Jhujhar Singh rebelled the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, whose armies devastated the state and occupied Orchha from 1635 to 1641. Orchha and Datia were the only Bundela states not subjugated by the Marathas in the 18th century. The town of Tehri, now Tikamgarh, about 52 mi south of Orchha, became the capital of Orchha state in 1783, and is now the district town; Tehri was the site of the fort of Tikamgarh, and the town eventually took the name of the fort.

Hamir Singh, who ruled from 1848 to 1874, was elevated to the style of Maharaja in 1865. Maharaja Pratap Singh ju Dev (born 1854, died 1930), who succeeded to the throne in 1874, devoted himself entirely to the development of his state, himself designing most of the engineering and irrigation works that were executed during his reign. In 1901, the state had an area of 2000 sqmi, and population of 52,634. It was the oldest and highest in rank of all the Bundela states, with a 17-gun salute, and its Maharajas bore the hereditary title of First of the Prince of Bundelkhand. Vir Singh, Pratap Singh's successor, merged his state with India on 1 January 1950. The district became part of Vindhya Pradesh state, which was merged into Madhya Pradesh state in 1956.

Today Orchha is almost a nondescript town with a small population, and its importance is maintained only due to its rich architectural heritage and tourism. However the name of the Orchha State continued to be in use, as can be seen in the inscriptions of Jain tirth Paporaji, now on the outskirts of Tikamgarh.

Janaki temple popularly known as the Nau Lakha Mandir (meaning "nine lakhs") in Nepal. The cost for the construction of the temple was about the same amount of money: rupees nine lakhs or nine hundred thousand, hence the name. Queen Vrisha Bhanu of Tikamgarh, India built the temple in 1910 AD.

In the reign of Jehangir, in 1618, Raja Veer Singh Deva Bundela of Orchha had built Keshavdeva temple at the cost of thirty-three lakhs in Mathura. A French traveller Tavernier visited Mathura in 1650 and had described the octagonal temple built in red sandstone. Italian traveller Niccolao Manucci who worked in Mughal court has also described the temple. Mughal prince Dara Shikoh had patronised the temple and donated a railing to the temple. The railing was removed by Mathura governor Abdun Nabi Khan on the order of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb and he built Jama mosque on the ruins of the Hindu temples. During the Jat rebellion in Mathura, Abdul Nabi Khan was killed in 1669. Aurangzeb attacked Mathura and destroyed that Keshavdeva temple in 1670 and built Shahi Eidgah in its place.

Talk:Aggron

Error
Ok... I'm confused. If it can't be found in the wild, they why did someone put that in the wild it has a 5% chance of holding a Hard Stone. --24.83.111.176 22:20, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

It's not an error per se... because the game is coded in such a way that if you were to encounter a wild Aggron for some random reason, there is a 5% chance it would be holding a Hard Stone. Deskana 07:32, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Deskana is right, but it should probably be noted that it is not possible to do this without using a cheat cartridge or something. Vimescarrot 12:24, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Occasionally, an ALT. COLOR Pokemon will be found. They can be anything in the Pokedex. Sabre Knight 16:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

How does that look like the name Gojiro?

Romanian Mioritic Shepherd Dog

The Romanian Mioritic Shepherd Dog (Ciobănesc Românesc Mioritic) is a breed of large livestock guardian dog that originated in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania.

Appearance
The male Mioritic stands about 70 - 75 cm tall at the withers with the female slightly smaller at 65 - 70 cm. This massive dog is covered in thick fluffy hair. It may be white, with or without pale grey or cream patches, or pale grey or cream all over. The dog should have a "vigorous" appearance. Sexual dimorphism is evident in this breed, with males being significantly larger than females.

Temperament
This breed has discipline as one of its main characteristics. It is a calm and well-mannered dog. As this dog was used as a herd protector, it is very attached to family and goes all the way when protecting those it is attached to. Because of this dog's ability to bond strongly with his master, training should only be started once the Mioritic puppy is already accustomed to the owner/trainer.

History
The breed was provisionally recognized by the FCI on July, 6th, 2005 in Buenos Aires. Nowadays it has reached the state of definite recognition.

Its name comes from the Romanian word mioară, which means young sheep.

Health
The breed has a life expectancy of about 12–14 years.
