Talk:List of Emirates destinations

 * This list of destinations is not date referenced. Are these destinations being served in 2005 or what? We need to know how current the list is or it is of no value. Ardfern 20:11, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Map is Not Updated
The Map at the right hand top side, showing the countries that Emirates flies to, is not updated. Might I request, to whoever included the map, to get the latest version and update the resource?

Erbil
As far as I can tell, there is no current Emirates flights to Erbil. I've always flown Qatar Airways, but with the restrictions on Qatar, the only flight from the UAE seems to be Fly Dubai. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:655A:1800:3CBD:249A:E7DC:77C1 (talk) 03:12, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Flag Icons
I think the idea of having the flag icons is great!!! The only thing that I am against is exactly how it is done. When someone goes onto the edit page to change something, it is very nice to see the names of the countries. With this current flag system, the names of the countries cannot be seen. I am proposing a new way of doing the flag icons.

Look at the two ways that this can be done:

Option 1
 * Djibouti (Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport) (Cargo)
 * Djibouti (Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport) (Cargo)

Option 2
 * 🇩🇯 Djibouti
 * Djibouti (Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport) (Cargo)

As you can see, there is no difference between how they look. But if I were to show them in the edit page they would look like this:

Option 1 *🇩🇯 **Djibouti (Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport) (Cargo) Option 2 *🇩🇯 Djibouti **Djibouti (Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport) (Cargo)

Option 1 is the current system and I am proposing Option 2. When people edit the page, they will be able see to which country they are editing instead of just the flagicon template code, which might be confusing to some. I think it would be a smart idea to change it, even though the new system is longer on the edit page. So what do you think? Please respond.

 * If there is no opposition to this change by 16 September 2007 at 04:00 UTC, I will go ahead and change it myself. Leitmanp 04:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * There is no reason to have the flags. If someone wants to know the flag of the country listed, he or she can visit the page with one click. Should there be state flags for US airlines? The flags slow down the loading of the page, and more importantly, put needless demand on the servers. This issue has been discussed at length, and every time the decision was to keep the flags out. DB (talk) 05:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I understand. But is it possible you can provide a link to one of the discussions you mentioned so I can see it.  I am not saying that I do not believe you, I am just interested to see what arguments were provided in the discussion for both sides.  Thank you. --Leitmanp 05:42, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I never replied to this. Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Airports has one discussion. Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Airports/Archive_3 has another. If you look through the project talk page archive, there's one or two more discussions on the issue, as well. DB (talk) 16:58, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

In my opinion it is better to group the destinations according to their continent and country (as in traditionally) instead of in alphabetical order of the cities/destinations.118.100.40.240 (talk) 03:00, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Flights to Afghanistan
Emirates does not fly to Afghanistan. By going to the Emirates web site you can see that Kabul is not listed in the drop-box of destinations. Also, if you go to Emirates RouteMap you will see that there are no cities in Afghanistan that are on the map. I am interpreting this to mean there are no flights to Kabul, or any other Afghan city. If you have proof of an Emirates flight to Afghanistan, please provide the information or source. Thank you. Leitmanp 22:28, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Americas
Why was North America and South America combined into one section? It was easier to navigate when they were two seperate continents. I would like to change it back to two seperate continents, but I do not want to start a revert war. If no reason for the combination is written here, I will split it up into North America and South America on 3 November 2007. --Leitmanp 04:34, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Cruz

Cruz is a surname of Iberian origin, first found in Castile, Spain, but later spread throughout the territories of the former Spanish and Portuguese Empires. In Spanish and Portuguese, the word means "cross", either the Christian cross or the figure of transecting lines or ways. For example, in the Philippines, the adopted Tagalog word is rendered to "krus" in plain usage, but the Spanish spelling survives as a surname.

The word "Cruz" (Spanish for "Cross"), as well as "Vera Cruz" ("True Cross") and "Santa Cruz" ("Holy Cross") are used as surnames and toponyms. Its origin as a surname particularly flourished after the Alhambra Decree of 1492 and the increasing activities of the Spanish Inquisition, when New Christian families with Crypto-Jewish, Moorish, and/or mixed religious heritage converted to the state-enforced religion of Catholicism and subsequently fashioned and adopted surnames with unambiguous religious affiliation.

Tago Mago

Tago Mago is the second studio album by the German krautrock band Can, originally released as a double LP in August 1971 on United Artists Records. It was the band's first full studio album to feature vocalist Damo Suzuki after the departure of Malcolm Mooney the year prior, though Suzuki had been featured on most tracks on the 1970 compilation album Soundtracks. Recorded at Schloss Nörvenich, a medieval castle near Cologne, the album features long-form experimental tracks blending rock and jazz improvisation, funk rhythms, and musique concrète tape editing techniques.

Tago Mago has been described as Can's best and most extreme record in sound and structure. The album has received widespread critical acclaim and is cited as an influence by various artists. Ned Raggett of AllMusic called it "not merely one of the best Krautrock albums of all time, but one of the best albums ever, period."

Recording and production
After Malcolm Mooney left Can in 1970, the band was left without a vocalist. Bassist Holger Czukay and drummer Jaki Liebezeit later saw Kenji "Damo" Suzuki busking outside a cafe in Munich, and invited him to join the band. Suzuki performed with the band at the Blow Up Club that evening, and subsequently became a full member of the group.

Tago Mago was recorded by Czukay at Schloss Nörvenich, a medieval castle in Nörvenich, North Rhine-Westphalia, between November 1970 and February 1971. Early in 1968, the band had been invited to stay rent-free at the castle for one year by art collector Christoph Vohwinkel, who had rented it with the idea of transforming it into an art center.

Recording took three months to complete, with sessions often lasting up to 16 hours a day. Czukay would edit the band's long, disorganized jams into structured songs. He used only two two-track tape recorders to capture the sessions. Because of the limits of two-track recording, the group favored recording in the castle's entrance hall to take advantage of its natural reverberation. Czukay limited the band to three microphones, which were shared between Suzuki and Liebezeit and carefully placed to optimize their response. Keyboardist Irmin Schmidt experimented with oscillators in place of typical synthesizers on "Aumgn."

Tago Mago was the first Can album to contain "in-between" recordings, for which Czukay secretly recorded the musicians jamming during pre-production sessions. He also captured in-between recordings of the shouts of a child who mistakenly entered the room during recording, as well as the howling of Vohwinkel's dog.

According to Czukay, the album was named after Illa de Tagomago, an islet near Ibiza in the Balearic archipelago, at Liebezeit's suggestion.

Tago Mago was originally released in Germany in August 1971 by United Artists Records. The British release, with different artwork, followed in February 1972.

Music
Tago Mago saw Can changing to a jazzier and more experimental sound than with previous recordings, with longer instrumental interludes and fewer vocals; this shift was caused by the dramatic difference between Suzuki and the band's more dominant former singer Mooney. Can took sonic inspiration from sources including jazz musicians such as Miles Davis and from electronic avant-garde composers such as Karlheinz Stockhausen. The album was also inspired by English occultist Aleister Crowley; it is named for Illa de Tagomago, an island that features in the Crowley legend, and the track "Aumgn" is named for Crowley's interpretation of the Hindu mantra syllable Om. In 2008, Czukay described the album as "an attempt in achieving a mystery musical world from light to darkness and return." The group has referred to the album as their "magic record," and the music has been described as having an "air of mystery and forbidden secrets."

Tago Mago is a double album, with the first LP more conventional and structured and the second more experimental. Roni Sarig, author of The Secret History of Rock, called the second LP "as close as [the group] ever got to avant-garde noise music." Featuring Czukay's tape and radio experiments, the tracks "Aumgn" and "Peking O" have led music critics to call Tago Mago the group's "most extreme record in terms of sound and structure." "Peking O" also makes use of an Ace Tone Rhythm Ace, an early drum machine, combined with acoustic drumming. "Aumgn" features keyboardist Irmin Schmidt chanting rather than Suzuki's vocals. The closing track, "Bring Me Coffee or Tea," was described by Raggett as a "fine, fun little coda to a landmark record."

The side-long track "Halleluhwah", which closes the first disc, was shortened from 18½ to 3½ minutes for release as the B-side of the non-album single "Turtles Have Short Legs", a novelty song recorded during the Tago Mago sessions and released by Liberty Records in 1971. A different, 5½-minute edit of "Halleluhwah" would later appear on the compilation Cannibalism in 1978, while "Turtles Have Short Legs" remained out of print until its inclusion on Cannibalism 2 in 1992.

Reception and legacy
Tago Mago has been critically acclaimed, and is credited with pioneering various modern musical styles. Raggett called Tago Mago a "rarity of the early '70s, a double album without a wasted note." Many critics, particularly in the United Kingdom, were eager to praise the album, and by the end of 1971 Can had played their first show in the country.

Julian Cope wrote in Krautrocksampler that Tago Mago "sounds only like itself, like no-one before or after" and described the lyrics as delving "below into the Unconscious." Dummy called it "a genre-defining work of psychedelic, experimental rock music." Melody Maker critic Simon Reynolds described it as "shamanic avant-funk."

Influence
Various artists have cited Tago Mago as an influence on their work. John Lydon of the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd. called it "stunning" in his autobiography Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs. Bobby Gillespie of the Jesus and Mary Chain and Primal Scream said of the album: "The music was like nothing I'd ever heard before, not American, not rock & roll but mysterious and European." Mark Hollis of Talk Talk called Tago Mago "an extremely important album" and an inspiration for Talk Talk's 1991 album Laughing Stock. Marc Bolan of T. Rex listed Suzuki's freeform lyricism as an inspiration. Journalist Nick Kent likened the music of Siouxsie and the Banshees on their debut album The Scream to the "ingenuity of Tago Mago", and the band's co-founder, bassist Steven Severin, has expressed admiration for the album. Jonny Greenwood and Thom Yorke of Radiohead have both cited the album as an early influence.

Several artists have covered songs from Tago Mago or recorded songs based on those from the album. The Flaming Lips' song "Take Meta Mars", from their 1990 album In a Priest Driven Ambulance, began as an attempt to cover "Mushroom"; however, as the band members had only heard "Mushroom" once and did not possess a copy of it, "Take Meta Mars" is only similar-sounding and not a proper cover. The Jesus and Mary Chain have covered "Mushroom" live, and included a live version on the compilation Barbed Wire Kisses. The Fall recorded "I Am Damo Suzuki", based on the Tago Mago track "Oh Yeah", for their 1985 album This Nation's Saving Grace. Swedish band Komeda included a cover of "Mushroom" on their 1998 single "It's Alright Baby". Remixes of several Tago Mago tracks by various artists are included on the 1997 Can remix album Sacrilege.

Accolades
Tago Mago is listed in the 2005 book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, which states: "Even after 30 years Tago Mago sounds refreshingly contemporary and gloriously extreme."

Naoomal Jeoomal

Naoomal Jeoomal Makhija (17 April 1904 – 28 July 1980) was an Indian cricketer, who was India's first opening batsman in Test cricket.

Early life
He was born on 17 April 1904, in Karachi, Sindh. He was the son of head clerk of a private company. He was a matriculation. He made his First-Class debut against Arthur Gilligan's MCC in 1926-27 for Hindus and The Rest at Karachi, scoring 16.

Career
Naoomal Jeoomal scored 33 and 25 opening India's innings in their first ever Test at Lord's in 1932. He also shared stands of 39 and 41 with his opening partner Janardan Navle in the two innings. Naoomal was a diminutive, defensive batsman whose strong point was the cut. He made 1,297 runs in the tour, playing in all the 26 first class matches, a decent performance considering that he had played only on matting wickets till then. Wisden even commented on Jeoomal's fielding abilities.

When England returned the visit in 1933–34, Jeoomal missed the first Test. He scored 2 and 43 at Calcutta, but in Madras, he was hit on the face by Nobby Clark. The ball left a half-inch cut across the left eye. The injury ended his innings and he did not play another Test. In his first match in the Ranji Trophy, for Sind against Western India in 1934–35, he scored 63 and 53, despite being hit by Amar Singh and Ladha Ramji, and took 5/78 and 3/52 in bowling. He played in the Sind Pentangular matches from 1922 till 1946, scoring 1,993 runs (average 47) with six hundreds.

His highest score in first-class cricket was a 203* scored in four and a half hours for Sind against Nawanagar in 1938–39. The Sind total of 326 was at the time the second lowest completed first class innings to include a double hundred.

Retirement and coaching
He coached Pakistan in the late 1950s and became national selector from 1957. He also served as an umpire in first-class matches, mostly in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. He moved to India in 1971.

His son, Hari Naoomal also played first class cricket for Karachi University and Karachi Greens from 1961 till 1970 season.

Jeoomal was the oldest Indian Test cricketer to attend the Golden Jubilee Test in 1980, which marked the fiftieth year of the founding of BCCI. The oldest living cricketer Cota Ramaswami was absent.

Note : Jeoomal's obituaries in Wisden Almanack and Wisden Cricket Monthly both give his date of death as 18 July.

Definitions and standards as they apply to these lists
Now that the DRV discussion is closed, we still have the question of quality of the remaining destination articles. Rhadow (talk) 16:42, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

Charter
Should Destinations include only regularly-scheduled places to which the airline offers common carriage?

Quality of reference
Should the category allow the subject's own route map as a sole reference? Should the category allow only dated route maps as a sole reference? Should the category require a third-party reference for entries on the destination list?

Should discontinued destinations require a third-party reference?

Codeshares and contract carriers
Does a codeshare destination count? In other words, if an airline can issue a ticket to a destination, but not fly its own aircraft, should it be able to claim a destination?

Prospective destinations
Is an announced destination eligible for inclusion? Or should we require the airline fly there first, before it is included?

Request for Comment: Hong Kong and Macau Airline Destination Country
I intend to leave it blank, but there is definitely an edit war spurring between different pages about "whether Hong Kong and Macau should be listed as a destination of the PRC" As I know, it is in different jurisdiction, thus I leave it blank.-- 1233 Talk 09:42, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Do you think the discussion at Talk:List_of_Singapore_Airlines_destinations would suffice, or do we need a separate discussion on a broader issue? Deryck C. 09:57, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * You didn't ping me. Ping 1233 instead of 1233thehongkonger. Thanks.-- 1233 Talk 12:12, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Diocese of Niassa

The Diocese of Niassa (pt. Diocese Anglicana do Niassa) it is one of the eight Anglican dioceses of Mozambique, part of the Anglican Church of Mozambique and Angola. This diocese is geographically in the northwestern corner of the country, the others being the Diocese of Lebombo, Diocese of Nampula, the Missionary Diocese of Zambezia, the Missionary Diocese of Tete, the Missionary Diocese of Inhambane, the Missionary Diocese of Rio Pungue, and the Missionary Diocese of Maciene.

History
Mark van Koevering, an American of Dutch descent, was the diocesan bishop from 2003 to 2015. The diocese itself was not able to elect a bishop after three days of election to succeed him and so it was delegated to the synod of bishops of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa in September 2016 where the Synod elected Vicente Msosa as the bishop elect, being consecrated bishop of the Diocese of Niassa on 25 February 2017.

Structure
Niassa diocese is divided into six archdeaconries: Cobue, Lunho, Lichinga, Milange, Rio Chire and Lurio.

The diocese has 426 congregations, over 65,500 worshipers, and 55 priests. It has a link with the Diocese of London in the Church of England.

List of bishops

 * Paulo Zuizane Litumbe 1979-1985
 * Paulino Manhique 1985-2003
 * Mark van Koevering 2003-2015
 * Vicente Msosa 2017-2021
 * Lucas Mchema 2022-present

On 5 December 2021, Vincente Msosa was transferred from Niassa to Zambezia; on 6 May 2022, Lucas Mchema was elected to become bishop of the diocese. Mchema was consecrated bishop on 9 July 2022 at Messumba.

Coat of arms
The diocese registered a coat of arms at the Bureau of Heraldry in 2001 : Per fess wavy Or and Azure, in chief a dug-out issuant Brunatre, seated therein a fisherman proper, vested about the loins Argent and holding pendant from a handline Sable a fish Argent, in base three barrulets wavy of the last; the shield ensigned of a mitre proper.

Anglican realignment
Under Bishop Vicente Msosa leadership, the Diocese of Niassa has been supportive of the Anglican realignment. He was one of the two bishops of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa to attend GAFCON III, in Jerusalem, on 17-22 June 2018.

I think this is a typo on the authors part and they meant to say 90's not 60's. The population in 1990 was 6,590 per the census. But 2000 it was 12,380. The cited source talks about the 2000's and doesn't mentioned the 60's. Also I lived there and can tell you there was no boom prior to the 90's.

MTV Rocks (British and Irish TV channel)

MTV Rocks (formerly MTV Two, MTV2 Europe and M2) was a British pay television music channel that was operated by ViacomCBS Networks UK & Australia. Its programming consisted of 24-hour non-stop rock/alternative music.

The channel closed on 20 July 2020.

Format and history
The structure of the MTV Networks is different in Europe from in the United States and so the role that MTV Two plays is somewhat different. The various nation MTV channels remain the flagship channels bringing a wide variety of popular music and many different show formats (including documentaries, reality TV, charts, text shows, and countdowns) however digital satellite in the UK has allowed MTV to operate subsidiary channels with their own specialist areas. So while in the US MTV2 was a varied, slightly alternative channel in the past, in Europe MTV Two was dedicated exclusively to alternative rock and indie, with the occasional alternative hip hop song; while other music output carried on MTV Base, MTV Dance, and MTV Hits covering urban music (hip hop, rap, R&B and garage), electronic dance music, and chart music respectively.

MTV Rocks initially began as M2 in October 1998: the channel had an interactive feel to it. Here viewers controlled the overall content of M2 in terms of its playlist and channel identity. The channel initially had limited availability only being available in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Scandinavia, France, and Spain. In 2002, MTV Networks Europe expanded M2's availability across Europe and decided to rebrand M2 as MTV2 similar to the rebranding on its sister network in the United States. The structure of the MTV2 in the United States differed from its European counterpart. MTV2 Europe primarily focused on alternative indie themed shows and music videos, while MTV2 in the US focused on reality TV programming, alternative music videos and alternative hip-hop. The TV station was one of the first media outlets to lead with its website strategy and follow with the TV programming. Viewers could program an hour of television content via the website, designed by Brad Smith and Mickey Stretton with the agency Digit, it broadcast later that month.

The website won a number of awards including a BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Award.

In the late 2000s, MTV2 Europe began to air a range of reality programming, but music was still the main focus of the channel. In 2000, the channel developed the first example of 360-degree programming. Viewers could choose an hour's worth of music and idents using the BAFTA-winning website, which would then be broadcast usually throughout the night with little or no manipulation by the channel. Viewers would be emailed their transmission time, their selection and the option to forward to friends. It was one of the first 100% Adobe Flash websites).

In September 2002, MTV2 Europe introduced its own on-screen presentation and graphics, and started to use much more original programming, the jewel in the station's crown being Gonzo, hosted by the then MTV UK & Ireland DJ and former BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe and regularly featuring interviews with bands along with contributions from members of the MTV2 Internet forums. It was relaunched in 2006, moving from an hour-long format broadcasting every weekday to a single two-hour show on a Friday. The show won the NME Award for Best TV Show in 2006. Unlike other MTV channels available in Europe which have regular commercial breaks, MTV 2 (as it was) ran without any advertising (apart from MTV promotions and idents) for large parts of the day, which was eventually reduced to midnight to 6 pm every day. Commercials shown were mainly for albums, DVDs, films and products that target the channel's main audience. However, from September 2005, MTV2 started to play these commercials during daytime, but still runs without interruptions throughout the night from 1 am.

In 2007, following a rebranding of MTV's channels available in the United Kingdom, MTV2 Europe was briefly rebranded as MTV Two and the presentation was changed as part of MTV's wider efforts to amalgamate the five British MTV channels into a singular brand with a common identity: the new logo is similar to the other channels, with the channel's playlist represented by a South Park-esque character who plays a Flying V guitar.

On 1 March 2010, MTV Two was rebranded as MTV Rocks. The channel now reflects a similar on-air identity as other MTV Networks International's channels. The channel has a similar playlist and schedule as MTV2 Europe for the time being.

On 10 January 2011, MTV Rocks launched in Italy replacing MTV Brand New.

MTV Rocks began broadcasting in widescreen on 6 March 2012.

In 2018 and 2019, MTV Rocks was temporarily rebranded as VH1 Christmas, which played Christmas-themed music until Boxing Day. Unlike MTV Xmas, it also played regular pop/mixed hits until early January. VH1 Christmas was formerly aired on VH1 from 2017 and was moved to MTV Rocks due to the former now being an entertainment channel. However, during HIV Awareness day, it used the MTV Rocks logo.

Closure
This channel, along with its sister channels Club MTV and MTV OMG, was closed on 20 July 2020, with a chart based on the channel's former content moving to/airing on MTV Music. The final music video played on the channel was "Don't Look Back in Anger" by Oasis.

Pluto TV revival
In May 2023, a rock music video feed under the MTV Rocks name was added to the UK service of Paramount Global streaming platform Pluto TV. This followed the 2022 introduction of an MTV Classic-branded stream and other thematic MTV music channels, some seasonal, to the platform.

European version
In 2014, MTV Rocks, as well as MTV Hits and MTV Dance, started broadcasting European versions, without commercials or teleshopping and without VH1 Christmas. The channels have a Czech license.

Talk:Tago Mago

Just created this page
Just created this page. It's my first article, and there isn't much information available anyway, so bear with me. As you can see, I plan to move the gray-boxed section on Tago Mago from the Can article itself to this page (also the image). --Demflan

Opinions on an opinion?
Regarding the following sentence in the article:
 * "Tago Mago is generally considered the band's greatest album: it is groundbreaking, influential and deeply unconventional, based on intensely rhythmic jazz-inspired drumming, improvised guitar and keyboard soloing (frequently intertwining each other), tape edits, and Suzuki's idiosyncratic vocalisms."

Generally considered by whom? I thought Ege Bamyasi was generally held to be their best album. The description could easily be about either album. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:40, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure Tago Mago is the most widely recognized as their "best album" (though the other two featuring Damo Suzuki, Ege Bamyasi and Future Days, are widely considered masterpieces in their own right). However, that sentence is a bit POV in tone, and there needs to be explainations as to why it was groundbreaking, who it influenced, etc. if the article is going to make such claims. —jiy (talk) 18:33, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
 * generally considered by pretty much everyone. 67.172.61.222 22:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

GA Review
Looks pretty good! I have a few suggestions:
 * SACD links to a disambiguation page.
 * Fixed.Dadaesque (talk) 03:42, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

 * AMG should be spelled out, at least the first time it's mentioned.
 * AMG is no longer an acronym. See the About Us page. —Zeagler (talk) 01:25, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, never mind that point. Drewcifer (talk) 01:28, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The music section is good, but I think it could be improved. Some comments should be included concerning the album's overall sound, not just select tracks.  Also I'm sure the band themselves have described their music, so a few quotes from them would be illuminating as well.  Lastly, a music sample would be a great addition, provided it's covered by fair-use.
 * Fixed.Dadaesque (talk) 03:42, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The lead is a little bit problematic. My main complaint is that in summarizing the reception section, it singles out one (very positive) quote.  I would argue that the lead is a bad place to provide quotes of any kind, especially one that is so glowing.  The reception should still be summarized briefly in the lead (per WP:Lead), but should do so in more general, less specific terms.
 * Fixed.Dadaesque (talk) 03:42, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

And that's it! I've put the article on hold, which gives you 7 days. Let me know when you think you've addressed my concerns. Drewcifer (talk) 23:59, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks good. Very nice work. Drewcifer (talk) 04:25, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Title
For a long time I've searched for a more specific account of the Crowley legend, but now think it may just be made up. If anyone is interested in learning the real reason behind why this album is called Tago Mago, Holger discusses it in this interview:http://www.terrascope.co.uk/MyBackPages/Can.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.193.157.96 (talk) 23:41, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

In fact, this album is not called Tago Mago, but Tago-Mago. Look at the cover, the hyphen is perfectly legible.

Third vs. second album
Someone keeps changing the heading to say that this is Can's second studio album. However it is most definitely not, coutning Monster Movie and Soundtracks it's their third. 68.167.71.151 (talk) 21:41, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Lede compliance
The lede is not currently compliant with WP:LEDE (needs to be expanded as an actual summary of the full article), which is required for GA status. Any pagewatchers want to give it a go? czar ♔   04:39, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Panel data

In statistics and econometrics, panel data and longitudinal data are both multi-dimensional data involving measurements over time. Panel data is a subset of longitudinal data where observations are for the same subjects each time.

Time series and cross-sectional data can be thought of as special cases of panel data that are in one dimension only (one panel member or individual for the former, one time point for the latter). A literature search often involves time series, cross-sectional, or panel data. Cross-panel data (CPD) is an innovative yet underappreciated source of information in the mathematical and statistical sciences. CPD stands out from other research methods because it vividly illustrates how independent and dependent variables may shift between countries. This panel data collection allows researchers to examine the connection between variables across several cross-sections and time periods and analyze the results of policy actions in other nations.

A study that uses panel data is called a longitudinal study or panel study.

Example
In the multiple response permutation procedure (MRPP) example above, two datasets with a panel structure are shown and the objective is to test whether there's a significant difference between people in the sample data. Individual characteristics (income, age, sex) are collected for different persons and different years. In the first dataset, two persons (1, 2) are observed every year for three years (2016, 2017, 2018). In the second dataset, three persons (1, 2, 3) are observed two times (person 1), three times (person 2), and one time (person 3), respectively, over three years (2016, 2017, 2018); in particular, person 1 is not observed in year 2018 and person 3 is not observed in 2016 or 2018.

A balanced panel (e.g., the first dataset above) is a dataset in which each panel member (i.e., person) is observed every year. Consequently, if a balanced panel contains $$N$$ panel members and $$T$$ periods, the number of observations ($$n$$) in the dataset is necessarily $$n = N \cdot T$$.

An unbalanced panel (e.g., the second dataset above) is a dataset in which at least one panel member is not observed every period. Therefore, if an unbalanced panel contains $$N$$ panel members and $$T$$ periods, then the following strict inequality holds for the number of observations ($$n$$) in the dataset: $$n < N \cdot T$$.

Both datasets above are structured in the long format, which is where one row holds one observation per time. Another way to structure panel data would be the wide format where one row represents one observational unit for all points in time (for the example, the wide format would have only two (first example) or three (second example) rows of data with additional columns for each time-varying variable (income, age).

Analysis
A panel has the form

 * $$X_{it}, \quad i = 1, \dots, N, \quad t = 1, \dots, T, $$

where $$i$$ is the individual dimension and $$t$$ is the time dimension. A general panel data regression model is written as $$y_{it} = \alpha + \beta' X_{it} + u_{it}$$. Different assumptions can be made on the precise structure of this general model. Two important models are the fixed effects model and the random effects model.

Consider a generic panel data model:

 * $$y_{it} = \alpha + \beta' X_{it} + u_{it}, $$

 * $$u_{it} = \mu_i + v_{it}.$$

$$\mu_i$$ are individual-specific, time-invariant effects (e.g., in a panel of countries this could include geography, climate, etc.) which are fixed over time, whereas $$v_{it}$$ is a time-varying random component.

If $$\mu_i$$ is unobserved, and correlated with at least one of the independent variables, then it will cause omitted variable bias in a standard OLS regression. However, panel data methods, such as the fixed effects estimator or alternatively, the first-difference estimator can be used to control for it.

If $$\mu_i$$ is not correlated with any of the independent variables, ordinary least squares linear regression methods can be used to yield unbiased and consistent estimates of the regression parameters. However, because $$\mu_i$$ is fixed over time, it will induce serial correlation in the error term of the regression. This means that more efficient estimation techniques are available. Random effects is one such method: it is a special case of feasible generalized least squares which controls for the structure of the serial correlation induced by $$\mu_i$$.

Dynamic panel data
Dynamic panel data describes the case where a lag of the dependent variable is used as regressor:

 * $$y_{it} = \alpha + \beta' X_{it} +\gamma y_{it-1}+ u_{it}.$$

The presence of the lagged dependent variable violates strict exogeneity, that is, endogeneity may occur. The fixed effect estimator and the first differences estimator both rely on the assumption of strict exogeneity. Hence, if $$u_{i}$$ is believed to be correlated with one of the independent variables, an alternative estimation technique must be used.

Deborah Blum

Deborah Leigh Blum (born October 19, 1954) is an American science journalist and the director of the Knight Science Journalism program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is the author of several books, including The Poisoner's Handbook (2010) and The Poison Squad (2018), and has been a columnist for The New York Times and a blogger, via her blog titled Elemental, for Wired.

As a science writer for the Sacramento Bee, Blum wrote a series of articles examining the professional, ethical, and emotional conflicts between scientists who use animals in their research and animal rights activists who oppose that research. Titled "The Monkey Wars," the series won the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for Beat Reporting.

Early life and education
Born in Urbana, Illinois, Blum grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Bristol, England, and Athens, Georgia. She graduated from the University of Georgia, where she majored in journalism and was chief editor of the student newspaper, The Red and Black. She worked as a reporter covering police, fires, courts, and other general assignment beats for newspapers in Georgia, Florida and California before she turned to science writing. She was on the staffs of the Macon Telegraph, the St. Petersburg Times and the Fresno Bee, among other publications.

Environmental journalism
After earning a master's degree in environmental journalism from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Blum returned to the Fresno Bee, where she became an award-winning environmental reporter. She was the first to report on the incidence of severely deformed waterfowl at the Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge, where poor management of irrigation runoff had polluted the wetland with toxic levels of the element selenium. Her work for the Fresno Bee put the mid-sized paper ahead of much larger regional rivals, including the San Francisco Chronicle and the Los Angeles Times in covering this major environmental story.

Science writing and teaching
In 1984, Blum joined the staff of the Sacramento Bee, where she broadened her range, covering science subjects. Her series "California: The Weapons Master" was awarded the 1987 Livingston Award for National Reporting. In 1992 the American Association for the Advancement of Science awarded her its AAAS-Westinghouse Award for Science Journalism, also for the "Monkey Wars" series.

Blum expanded the Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper series into a book of the same title. Her second book, Sex on the Brain examines the biological differences between men and women. In Love at Goon Park, she explores the life and career of groundbreaking psychology researcher Harry Harlow, and in Ghost Hunters she follows a quest by 19th century psychologist-philosopher William James and colleagues to apply objective scientific methods to the study of paranormal phenomena. In The Poisoner's Handbook she explores the pioneering work of two unheralded scientists who paved the way for modern forensic detectives. This book was promoted on Point of Inquiry. She received the James T. Grady-James H. Stack Award for Interpreting Chemistry for the Public from the American Chemical Society in 2015 for this book.

Blum has written, most often about science and its interrelationship with American culture, for publications that have included The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, Time, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Discover, Psychology Today, Rolling Stone, the Utne Reader, and Mother Jones. In 2013, she began writing "Poison Pen" which appears as a column in The New York Times and as a blog post in the newspaper's online edition. website. After becoming director of the Knight Science Journalism Program, she created and became publisher of a new on-line science magazine, Undark.

From 1997 until 2015, she was a professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. In 2005 she was appointed Helen Firstbrook Franklin Professor of Journalism, an endowed faculty position within the University of Wisconsin journalism school. In July 2015, she became director of Knight Science Journalism at MIT.

A past president of the National Association of Science Writers, she has been a member of the governing board of the World Federation of Science Writers and has also served on such panels for the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing, the AAAS Committee on Public Understanding of Science and Technology, the National Research Council's Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources, the Society for Science & the Public and a US Congress committee on science. Blum is co-editor, with Mary Knudson and Robin Marantz Henig, of the book A Field Guide for Science Writers.

Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT
Blum became director of the Knight Science Journalism Program, a fellowship program endowed by the James S. and John L. Knight Foundation to encourage "a select breed of journalist", in July 2015. The following year, she expanded on the fellowship program by launching Undark, a digital science magazine. The magazine debuted in March 2016. The magazine's founding editor-in-chief was Tom Zeller, long time environment writer for The New York Times. In July 2016, David Corcoran, former editor of Science Times at The New York Times, joined the program as a senior editor at the magazine and associate director of the program.

Personal life
Blum is the eldest of four daughters born to entomologist Murray S. Blum and Nancy Ann Blum, an educator and writer.

Blum and her husband have two sons.

Polypropylene glycol

Polypropylene glycol or polypropylene oxide is the polymer (or macromolecule) of propylene glycol. Chemically it is a polyether, and, more generally speaking, it's a polyalkylene glycol (PAG) H S Code 3907.2000. The term polypropylene glycol or PPG is reserved for polymer of low- to medium-range molar mass when the nature of the end-group, which is usually a hydroxyl group, still matters. The term "oxide" is used for high-molar-mass polymer when end-groups no longer affect polymer properties. Between 60 and 70% of propylene oxide is converted to polyether polyols by the process called alkoxylation.

Polymerization
Polypropylene glycol is produced by ring-opening polymerization of propylene oxide. The initiator is an alcohol and the catalyst a base, usually potassium hydroxide. When the initiator is ethylene glycol or water the polymer is linear. With a multifunctional initiator like glycerine, pentaerythritol or sorbitol the polymer branches out.

Conventional polymerization of propylene oxide results in an atactic polymer. The isotactic polymer can be produced from optically active propylene oxide, but at a high cost. A salen cobalt catalyst was reported in 2005 to provide isotactic polymerization of the prochiral propylene oxide

Properties
PPG has many properties in common with polyethylene glycol. The polymer is a liquid at room temperature. Solubility in water decreases rapidly with increasing molar mass. Secondary hydroxyl groups in PPG are less reactive than primary hydroxyl groups in polyethylene glycol. PPG is less toxic than PEG, so biotechnologicals are now mainly produced with PPG.

Uses
PPG is used in many polyurethane formulations. Synthesis of waterborne polymers has been a feature with this substance. As the basic building block is propylene oxide, there are 3 carbons per oxygen on the backbone. This confers some degree of water miscibility though not as good as ethylene oxide based molecules. It is used to synthesize the epoxy reactive diluent and flexibilizer, Poly(propylene glycol) diglycidyl ether. Another use of PPG is as a surfactant, wetting agent and dispersant in leather finishing. PPG is also employed as a reference and calibrant in mass spectrometry and HPLC. PPG and derivatives may be used as defoamers in drilling and other applications. It is also used as a primary ingredient in the making of paintballs. It has been evaluated as a corrosion inhibitor.

Zaim Imamović

Zaim Imamović (Заим Имамовић; 26 August 1920 – 2 February 1994) was a Bosnian sevdalinka-folk singer, accordionist and author.

Biography
Imamović was born into a Bosnian Muslim family in Mrkonjić Grad and after a year his family moved to Travnik and there he lived for fifteen years when, in 1936, he moved to Sarajevo. He lived in Sarajevo for the rest of his life occasionally vacationing in Počitelj where he had a cottage. In Sarajevo he attended textile school and was discovered by a choir leader Cvjetko Rihtman in the cultural society "Gajret" where his sister Đula and his brother Hadžo also sang. When Radio Sarajevo became operational following the liberation of Sarajevo in April 1945, he started performing on and became an employee of Radio Sarajevo, often sleeping under the piano overnight so not to miss the morning telecast.

At that time he performed three sevdah songs: "Gledaj me draga", "Konja vodim, pješke hodim" and "Mujo kuje konja po mjesecu" and became very popular (the last of the three songs is one of the most popular sevdah songs ever). His popularity increased in time and he is said to be the best sevdalinka performer of his time and a reformer of the genre. Some of his most popular sevdalinkas are: "Haj, Moščanice vodo plemenita", "Od kako sam sevdah svezo", "Okreni se niz đul-bašču", "Haj, sadih almu na sred Atmejdana", "Ja zagrizoh šareniku jabuku", "Đul Fatima po đul-bašči šeće", "Kad puhnuše sabah-zorski vjetrovi"...

Zaim Imamović was under influence of important sevdah singers of the time: Rešad Bešlagić, Sulejman Džakić, Ibrahim Ašćerić, and others. Together with them he developed an important new style of sevdah singing that was peculiar for radio performance. It was a sharp contrast to earlier singers influenced by bel canto traditions of the European discography market: Bora Janjić, Sofka Nikolić, and others...

Zaim Imamović wrote some of the most popular sevdalinkas: "Sve behara i sve cvjeta", "O, jeseni, tugo moja", "Nesretan sam, majko moja mila", "Kono moja", "Što je lijepo vrelo Mošćanice", "Zašto si me majko rodila"...

He was one of the founders of the Ilidža Folk Music Festival in Sarajevo. After initial success of the festival, intending to stir up new trends in traditional music, Zaim Imamović retreated from the festival at the beginning of 1970s.

Zaim Imamović died in Sarajevo during the Siege of Sarajevo, on 2 February 1994.

Talk:Southmead

Untitled

 * The area lends its name to the NHS-run Southmead Hospital, although this is actually situated in the neighbouring district of Westbury on Trym.

I was quite surprised by the assertion that the Hospital is in Westbury on Trym, as Southmead Hospital is much nearer to Greystoke Avenue than Westbury High Street, is in BS10 not BS9 and is in Horfield Ward. But then again, the NHS thinks it is, and the Royal Mail's address finder agrees. This seemed very weird, even absurd.

On reflection, however, I did some more research, and it turns out that Southmead Hospital (founded as a workhouse) predates both Southmead estate and most of Henleaze. In 1901 it was obviously part of Westbury on Trym parish (see this history of the territory of WoT church parish). Since then Southmead and Henleaze have been built up and have developed their own identities, leaving the Hospital as a sort of panhandle or even an exclave of WoT. I think it's an anachronism, and would surprise a lot of Bristolians, but maybe there is some sense to it. --rbrwr± 22:50, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Nove Ware

Nove Ware is a type of maiolica, or tin-glazed earthenware. It was made in Nove, Italy, in the 18th century, mainly in a factory founded by Giovanni Battista Antonibon in 1728. Near the end of the 18th century the factory became associated with another factory, in nearby Bassano, where majolica was produced in the 16th century. Nove ware was fashioned in the Rococo style common in the 18th century, with an emphasis on light, decorative works that conformed to a sense of stylistic elegance, as opposed to the ebullient style of the baroque.

Robertson portrayed Craig Stevenson in the paranormal drama series Sea of Souls. He appeared in the sequel Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction, alongside American actress Sharon Stone. In a prolific period, he took parts in the thriller The Contractor with Wesley Snipes and joined the cast of Rab C. Nesbitt returning to the streets of his youth.

In 2012, Robertson starred with Simon Callow and Harry Enfield in the feature-length film Acts of Godfrey, a British comedy written entirely in verse.

Robertson appeared as Spanky in a revival of John Byrne's Slab Boys trilogy, and as Romeo in Romeo and Juliet at the Citizens' Theatre. In 2009, he performed at the Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh, in a theatre adaptation of James Hogg's "Confessions of a Justified Sinner".

During the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Robertson performed in D.C. Jackson's My Romantic History at the Traverse Theatre.

Robertson also starred in a one-man show Angels by Ronan O'Donnell at the "Play, a Pie and a Pint" event in Glasgow. This performance received acclaim from critics, noting his exceptional performance.

In 2011, he appeared in a revival of The Hard Man, a play about the Scottish criminal Jimmy Boyle.

Robertson starred with Dawn Steele on Sea of Souls, they had previously appeared together in The Slab Boys. He worked with co-star Bill Paterson on the feature film The Match.

Since 2017, he has played the role of Stevie O'Hara in River City, replacing Cas Harkins, who had played the role from 2003 to 2005.

Brock Pemberton

Brock Pemberton (December 14, 1885 – March 11, 1950) was an American theatrical producer, director and founder of the Tony Awards. He was the professional partner of Antoinette Perry, co-founder of the American Theatre Wing, and he was also a member of the Algonquin Round Table.

Early years
He was born Ralph Brock Pemberton in Leavenworth, Kansas, the third of four children to Albert Pemberton and Ella Murdock. He had two older sisters and a younger brother, Murdock Pemberton, who became a writer and playwright. Pemberton's family had moved to Emporia, Kansas by 1895, where he attended Union Street School then Emporia High School. He was the valedictorian of his high school graduating class during May 1902.

Colleges and Kansas newspaper work
He entered the College of Emporia on a scholarship during late summer 1902. During his sophomore year he played football and was Athletic editor of the college weekly paper. During the summer of 1904 he worked on the Coffeyville Daily Record, in Coffeyville, Kansas, a paper recently purchased by his cousin Roland Murdock. The following summer he worked on the Kansas City Globe in Kansas City, Kansas. After one term at Yale University during the fall of 1906, he returned to Emporia to work on the Emporia Gazette.

The owner-editor of that newspaper, William Allen White, had previously employed Pemberton during the summer of 1906 before he left for Yale. White had gotten his start on a newspaper owned by Pemberton's maternal relatives the Murdocks, and supported the political ambitions of Pemberton's uncle Victor Murdock, owner-editor of the Wichita Eagle. By April 1907 Pemberton was enrolled in the School of Journalism at the University of Kansas, while still working for The Emporia Gazette. He pledged Phi Delta Theta fraternity upon returning to the University of Kansas in September 1907, and joined the Dramatic Club. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in June 1908.

During the next two years Pemberton worked full-time for the Emporia Gazette, becoming White's star reporter then city editor by August 1909. A long profile he wrote of the folksy poet Walt Mason was carried by newspapers across the country in early 1910. In April 1910 he left Kansas to take up what he thought was a position on The Sun in New York City.

New York newspapers
Upon arriving in New York, Pemberton found out The Sun position didn't exist, but was able to get a job on the Evening Mail, reporting on harbor traffic and shipping. He later became drama critic for the Evening Mail, then assistant drama critic on the New York World, before becoming Alexander Woollcott's assistant in The New York Times drama department.

Stage career
Pemberton directed and produced the American premiere of Luigi Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author in 1922, as well as its first Broadway revival two years later. In 1926, he produced and directed a Sam Janney play that became the film Loose Ankles in 1930, starring a young Loretta Young and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. In 1929 he produced and directed Preston Sturges' play Strictly Dishonorable, which was filmed twice, in 1931 and again in 1951.

Among his other productions was Miss Lulu Bett, whose writer Zona Gale became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in Drama, Personal Appearance by Lawrence Riley, which was a Broadway hit and was later turned into the film Go West, Young Man and Harvey, Mary Chase's play about a man whose best friend is a large imaginary rabbit, later made into a film starring Jimmy Stewart.

Pemberton gave the Antoinette Perry Award its nickname, the Tony. As Perry's official biography at the Tony Awards website states, "At [ Warner Bros. story editor] Jacob Wilk's suggestion, [Pemberton] proposed an award in her honor for distinguished stage acting and technical achievement. At the initial event in 1947, as he handed out an award, he called it a Tony. The name stuck.

From February 28, 1950 thru March 5, 1950, Pemberton played the lead in a production of Harvey at the Sombrero Playhouse in Phoenix, Arizona. Six days later he died at home from a heart attack.

Months after his death in 1950, a Tony Award was given to him posthumously in recognition of his role as the founder and the original chairman of the Tony Awards.
