Qonce

Qonce, formerly known as King William's Town, is a town in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa along the banks of the Buffalo River. The town is about 60 km northwest of the Indian Ocean port of East London. It has a population of around 35,000 inhabitants and forms part of the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality.

The town lies 389 m above sea level at the foot of the Amathole Mountains in an area known for its agriculture. The town has one of the oldest post offices in the country developed by missionaries led by Charles Brownlee.

History
For thousands of years, the area was roamed by Bushman bands, and then was used as grazing by the nomadic Khoikhoi, who called the Buffalo River Qonce. Xhosa people lived alongside the Khoikhoi eventually taking over the land after Queen Hoho lost the war with King Ngqika kaMlawu.

King William's Town was founded by Sir Benjamin d’Urban in May 1835 during the Xhosa War of that year. The town stands on the site of the kraal of the minor chief Dyani Tyatyu and was named after William IV. It was abandoned in December 1836, but was reoccupied in 1846 and was the capital of British Kaffraria from its creation in 1847 to its incorporation in 1865 with the Cape Colony. Uniquely in the Cape Colony, its local government was styled a borough, rather than a municipality. Many of the colonists in the neighbouring districts are descendants of members of the British German Legion disbanded after the Crimean War and provided with homes in the Cape Colony; hence such names as Berlin, Braunschweig, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Potsdam and Stutterheim given to settlements in this part of the country.

It was declared the provincial capital of the surrounding Queen Adelaide's Province in the 1830s. On 5 May 1877, the Cape Government of Prime Minister John Molteno opened the first railway, connecting the town to East London on the coast and to the Xhosa lands inland and further east. With its direct railway communication, the town became an important entrepôt for trade with the Xhosa people throughout Kaffraria.

In 1973, a 108 hectare piece of protected land was established on the outskirts of town called the King William's Town Nature Reserve.

The area's economy depended on cattle and sheep ranching, and the town itself has a large industrial base producing textiles, soap, candles, sweets, cartons and clothing. Its proximity to the new provincial capital city of Bhisho has brought much development to the area since the end of apartheid in 1994.

In September 2020 the Eastern Cape government announced plans to give the city a new name as part of what it described as a programme aimed at transforming the country's geographic landscape to be more representative of its people. The city officially became Qonce on 21 February 2021.

The city is also home to Huberta, one of the farthest-travelling hippopotami in South Africa. It is displayed in the Amathole Museum in the CBD.

Sullivan High School Union (started by thelostjs),

Attention All Students:
SCHS-U has the answer for you!

Sullivan Central High - Student's Union

Are you tired of being told what to do? by Teachers... no less?

Well! The SCHSU has the answer to the question that you probably never asked. Have you ever felt that you, as a student, were treated poorly? Badly? Even Inhumanely?

Even if by chance, you dont feel a bit wronged, then you could at least admit that your treatment could be better!

We will stand up for your rights as a student, a citizen, and most importantly, as an individual human being! I know that I have experienced times when I felt that I was fighting a battle that was pretty one-sided, pointless, and hopeless but with the SCHSU you'll never have to fight alone again!

Current Agenda (As of 8/22/05):

> Doors on the bathroom stalls.

> Sign up sheet for class outdoors, same as the library sign up.

> Music for 30 minutes per week - a guaranteed gpa booster! "How can you talk when you cant hear?"!

> A revised discipline system edited and maintained by the student body and the SCHSU

> Relaxed restrictions on cell phones and other electronic devices.

> Class time set aside for intelligent discussion EVERYDAY because that IS where real learning occurs.

We as a student body can change our school to suit us. We will fight for what is right, just and fair. Do this not just for yourself but, do it for the people who have left their legacies and, especially those who haven't.

Please leave suggestions, and let us know that you support us!

Talk:Indo-Aryan peoples

"Indo-Aryan" is a Wikipedia editor's Invention
Hi can someone help start a vote to convert all references an articles from "Indo-Aryan" to Indic? Indic is the long-standing, proper and academically-recognized linguistic and ethnic designation for this group of languages, and always has been.

Main reasons (there are more):
 * - "Indo-Aryan" causes confusion among both laymen and Academic circles, anthropologists and linguistics specialists, who have always designated this class of languages and ethnicities as Indic, not Indo-Aryan. Having two designations for the same language group is just a bad idea, not to mention "Indo-Aryan" as a language group or ethnicity group has no basis in fact.
 * - There is no such thing as an Aryan language, nor is Indic exclusively an "Aryan" ethnicity.

In addition to the Indo-Aryan languages articles, someone has also started a series of fictitious articles based on "Indo-Aryan people" which is equally ridiculous and an attempt to introduce baseless, poorly researched, Original Research into Wikipedia.

Looking forward to some cooperation among editors on fixing this major issue.Xoltron (talk) 00:37, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Quote: anthropologists and linguistics specialists, who have always designated this class of languages and ethnicities as Indic, not Indo-Aryan. Talking about linguistics, what are the following scholarly standard reference works then, chopped liver?
 * Masica, Colin (1991). The Indo-Aryan languages. Cambridge University Press.
 * Cardona, George; Jain, Dhanesh (eds.) (2003). The Indo-Aryan languages. London: Routledge.
 * Cardona, George; Luraghi, Silvia (2009). "Indo-Aryan Languages", in Comrie, B. (ed.), The World’s Major Languages. London: Routledge.
 * Munshi, S. (2009). "Indo-Aryan Languages", in Brown, K. & Ogilvie, S. (eds.), Concise Encyclopedia of Languages of the World. Oxford: Elsevier.
 * "Indo-Aryan", Ethnologue.
 * "Family: Indo-Aryan", Glottolog.
 * I could cite hundreds of linguistic works about comparative linguistics, typology, syntax, all of which use "Indo-Aryan" to denote this subbranch of IE. "Indic" is a valid alternative term which has gained some currency, but this doesn't render "Indo-Aryan languages" with no basis in fact. To say that specialists [...] have always designated this class of languages [...] as Indic betrays an unfamiliarity with the existing literature that shouldn't be the starting point for a "vote"
 * Btw, we don't have an article Indo-Aryan people. It's plural Indo-Aryan peoples, and much good work has gone into it (notably by @) to unbullshit earlier versions which indeed were full with OR. –Austronesier (talk) 19:45, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

the brahmin ethnic group are indo aryan
the brahmin ethnic group all around india are speakers and bearers of the indo aryan language sanskrit since their very first migration from the banks of the river saraswati in modern day kashmir and haryana. they deserve a mention in this article as well. Temporary 1010 (talk) 18:16, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Labelling wusun just as CAUCASIAN is misleading
as per sources, wusun are suggested to be what is now obselete caucasian race/caucasoid which is different from the modern usage of term 'caucasion' exclusively used for white population by many countries and should not be used in the context of this article. EXTREMELY misleading. Caucasoid has been used as an umbrella term for phenotypically similar groups from different regions, with a focus on skeletal anatomy, and especially cranial morphology, without regard to skin tone. read the wusun page as well. someone cleverly put this term here for pov pushing. This obsession of white ethno nationalists/supremacists to relate with anything aryan is extremely dangerous. user@Manticore reverted the edit claiming it to be a rant when ITS CLEARLY MENTIONED IN SOURCES AS WELL AS PAGE of wusun.one has to be either brain dead or full of propaganda to disregard this misleading representation. The difference between caucasian race/caucasoid and modern usage of caucasian term is also clearly mentioned in Caucasian race page. As 'caucasian' term is still used exclusively for a specific population based on skin color it SHOULD not be used here. It should be changed to CAUCASOID or EUROPID. altough the question is why would anyone classify wusun as an obselete racial classification anyway? and if it is necessary why wud someone deliberately use a term that is still used to denote a certain population based on skin color in contrast to that obselete racial classification which was not based on skin color? hoping for rational admins to take a look into this. but i do feel the page is hijacked by aryan obsessed neo nazis who would do anything(including misleading information and misrepresentation) to satisfy their false ego and pseudo pride. Observer1989 (talk) 13:06, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

 * one more reference for wusun described as caucasoid :

Sock puppet edits
@Capitals00 how is this forking? Also the fact you called a now confirmed sock puppet as blocked for "unrelated reasons" is suspicious in itself. Sutyarashi (talk) 07:29, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * He was not blocked over this page, neither he was alone with reverting your POVFORKING back in the day. I had reverted for the same reasons. That's why your resumption of edit war looks disruptive.
 * This article is specifically about what is Indo-Aryan. You have admitted yourself in edit summaries that you copied the content from various other articles. You don't have to turn this article into a POVFORK. Capitals00 (talk) 07:37, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * There is no Wikipedia policy stating that content at one article cannot be copied into another, as long as attribution is provided. This is simply as a start to expand it. Neither it is a violation to which I have "admitted". Nor the article has GA status, to which any major edits cannot be made. This history section is short for the topic, for parallel, see Iranian people.
 * Also you need to explain how is it a ""POV forking". (emphasis on POV) What POV you think I want to add here?
 * So far, I feel like you are wrongfully defending a sock here. If you're not still convinced, I can ask for a third opinion over this. Sutyarashi (talk) 08:08, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * WP:BLOCKEVASION is very clear about it: you can revert any edit without further reason only if it was made in violation of an exisiting block. This is apparently not the case here. Also, note the first objection came from someone else. So the WP:ONUS is on you to get consensus why we need to massively duplicate content from other articles here, instead of briefly summarizing what is already discussed in detail somewhere else. –Austronesier (talk) 08:19, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks @Austronesier. To be clear, I don't want to duplicate whatever content exists on Wikipedia; it's only that I feel the present history section is too short for the topic, and does need expansion. It does not even covers all of its aspect. The article, as a whole, is not in a very good shape.
 * Also, previous edits were made around 10 months ago, when I was still a new editor, and found the best way for expansion to use content that already existed. Now, I feel that I can modify and add to reflect the topic. Sutyarashi (talk) 08:41, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * plus, the content added was essentially a summary; I didn't even add whole paras. And I did plan to rewrite the section. Sutyarashi (talk) 08:47, 4 December 2023 (UTC).
 * Its not a summary but duplication of article. That will do nothing but reduce the accuracy of this article. This is why I am opposed to this POVFORKING.Capitals00 (talk) 08:57, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * No, you still need to explain how is this a "POV" forking. What POV you think I am intending to add here? Sutyarashi (talk) 09:07, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * What do you understand from "duplicating" the content into an otherwise subject-based article? That is POVFORKING and it cannot be done without consensus. Capitals00 (talk) 09:31, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * This is not WP:POV forking, which means creating a new article just for the sake of promoting a POV. That is definitely not the case here.
 * The minimum you could do was to at least cite a correct project link before reverting others. Sutyarashi (talk) 09:56, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Content forking is not necessarily POV-forking. It could also be simply redundant. For a better text flow, it is perfectly fine to have some redundancies, but one should always aim at a main/summary hierarchy of articles. A general issue with redundancies is the sychronization problem. E.g things are changed here but not in the main article and vice versa. This might indeed result in POV-forks if not constantly monitored. –Austronesier (talk) 10:03, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

 * You're right. However, how should then I expand present history section? By making no use of references and content on the related articles? Sutyarashi (talk) 12:42, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I have taken a look at both versions side-by-side. I think that for the Sintashta and Andronovo cultures and the BMAC, the old short version condensed into a single paragraph is more readable and doesn't give too much detail to what is pre-pre-Indo-Aryan prehistory (although of course with sufficient detail in order not to give even a straw to Indigenous Aryanism). Being a bit more eloborate about the Vedic period is fine, especially since this is the only period where "Indo-Aryan" was a meaningful marker for more than just linguistic affiliation. But not beyond that period. To paint subsequent South Asian history in a "Indo-Aryan" vs "Dravidan" dichotomy (why else would we speak of the Maratha Empire as an "Indo-Aryan" one?) is not quite the approach of modern mainstream scholarship. With the Sankritzation of the south and east, all kingdoms and empires had their share in the Indo-Aryan heritage. –Austronesier (talk) 18:27, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

The Rudy and Gogo World Famous Cartoon Show

The Rudy and GoGo World Famous Cartoon Show was a programming block of cartoons for TNT during the mid-1990s. Hosted by "Rowdy" Rudy R. Moore (a marionette puppet of a young boy, who looked a little like Howdy Doody), and his pet goat Gogo (a live action nanny goat), the show featured a variety of cartoon short subjects from Turner Entertainment's library, including pre-August 1948 Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, MGM cartoons such as Tom and Jerry and Droopy, and Fleischer/Famous' Popeye the Sailor. Between cartoons, Rudy, Gogo, and an African American puppet named Jesse B. Weaver (or "Jumpin' J.B." to his friends) would star in short host segments, usually involving floating around in a bizarre colorful spiral and randomly screaming. The show used clips from various Turner-owned films and television series from the 1960s and 1970s for added backdrops and storylines.

Characters and celebrity guest appearances
The show had a quite few minor characters, such as the skeleton puppet Boney Bonerton, voiced by show co-producer Jack Pendarvis. Boney Bonerton would host mini talk shows or game shows, and there would be commercial parodies advertising Boney Bonerton merchandise (i.e. The Boney Bonerton video game or the "Boney Bonerton Just Sings" CD). Also members of the band The Mekons were regulars on the show, Sally Timms played the character Cowboy Sally (from "Wild West Yorkshire"), and Jon Langford played the Olde Salty Sea Biscuit, a pirate who would be shown floating on a canoe in a giant bathroom sink. Other celebrity guest appearances included Jeff Goldblum, Will Smith, and Ed Lover and Doctor Dré from Yo! MTV Raps.

Variations and film specials
Some episodes ran under various titles (such as "Rudy and Gogo 2000", "Rudy y Gogo", and "Taterhole") and TNT also used Rudy and Gogo as hosts for various cult classic film marathon specials, such as "Rudy and Gogo's Thanksgiving Leftover Special" and "Rudy and Gogo's Funtime Movie Parade". The "Rudy and Gogo's New Year's Eve Flaming Cheese Ball" special for New Year's Eve 1995 showed the films The Blob, Queen of Outer Space, House on Haunted Hill, and Thunderbirds Are Go and featured Gogo's surprise announcement for the 1996 US presidential election, as well the anticlimactic dropping of the giant cheese ball at midnight. The "Gogo Para Presidente" campaign jingle became a popular segment of the show.

End of the series and fan followings
In 1996, the Minneapolis rock trio John Updyke's Lick Pussy (later renamed J.U.L.P) recorded a version of "Gogo Para Presidente" for a 7" vinyl b-side for the Earmark Records label. In 1997 they debuted a music video, directed by Mike "Suade" Newell, at First Avenue Nightclub. This low budget, sepia-toned short featured the band putting up "snipe" posters that read "Vote Goat" on walls and phone poles. It was later included on Newell's DVD entitled "Michael C. Newell - History: 1991-2004".

The program was also a favorite in college dorms and had a particularly devoted following in New York University’s Hayden Hall. During the 1995–96 school year, several freshmen students wrote to the program and were rewarded by having their names appear on screen as friends of the show. The series ended its run in August 1997. In fall 1998, TNT stopped showing cartoons altogether and the network started to change its image.

Ignazio Lupo

Ignazio Lupo (March 21, 1877 – January 13, 1947), also known as Ignazio Saietta and Lupo the Wolf, was a Sicilian American Black Hand leader in New York City during the early 1900s. His business was centered in Little Italy, Manhattan, where he ran large extortion operations and committed other crimes including robberies, loan-sharking, and murder. By the start of the 20th century, Lupo merged his crew with others in the South Bronx and East Harlem to form the Morello crime family, which became the leading Mafia family in New York City.

Suspected of at least 60 murders, he was not caught by authorities until 1910, when the Secret Service arrested him for running a large scale counterfeiting ring in the Catskills. He was paroled after serving 10 years of a 30-year sentence. A few years later, he was forced into retirement by the emerging National Crime Syndicate led by Lucky Luciano.

Early life
Ignazio Lupo was born in Palermo, Sicily, to parents Rocco Lupo and Onofria Saietta. He has sometimes been referred to, using his mother's maiden name, as Ignazio Saietta, but his actual surname was Lupo.

From age 10, he worked in a dry goods store in Palermo. In October 1898, he shot and killed a business rival named Salvatore Morello, by Lupo's account in self-defense after Morello attacked him with a dagger during an argument in Lupo's store. Lupo went into hiding after the killing and, on the advice of his parents, eventually fled Sicily to escape prosecution.

After stops in Liverpool, Montreal, and Buffalo, he arrived in New York in 1898. On March 14, 1899, Lupo was convicted in absentia of 'willful and deliberate murder', reportedly due to the testimony of the clerks who worked in his store. Lupo would never serve out the Sicilian sentence, though he would one day return to Sicily.

Upon settling in New York City, Lupo opened a store at East 72nd Street in Manhattan with his cousin Saitta, but moved his business to Brooklyn after a disagreement. In 1901, he moved his business back to Manhattan and opened a small import store at 9 Prince Street, while also running a saloon across the street at 8 Prince Street. Lupo's father, Rocco, joined him in New York City in 1902 and together they opened a retail grocery store on 39th Street between 9th and 10th avenues. Around this time, Lupo began preying on his fellow Italian immigrants, using the extortion tactics of the Black Hand.

Morello crime family
In 1902, Giuseppe Morello acquired a saloon at 8 Prince Street, at the rear of the premises where Lupo was running his saloon. Morello had immigrated to the United States from Sicily in the 1890s and had been joined by his three half brothers Vincenzo Terranova, Ciro Terranova and Nicholas Morello. Lupo became closely associated with the Morello-Terranova faction and eventually married into their immediate family when he wed Salvatrice Terranova on December 23, 1903.

He maintained his leadership over his Little Italy-based interests, but in the early 1900s Lupo merged his Mafia faction with the Morello-Terranova faction, which basically formed what became known as the Morello crime family, then the leading Mafia family in New York City. Lupo kept his base of operations in Little Italy, but shared the overall leadership of the crime family with Giuseppe Morello, who operated from his base in East Harlem, while various members of their group, including Morello's half brothers, led the affiliated groups and ran the rackets with soldiers such as Giuseppe Fanaro, Giuseppe "Joe" Catania Sr., Charles Ubriaco and Tommaso "The Ox" Petto, a top enforcer and killer within the crime family.

Lupo demanded absolute obedience from the members of his crew, killing one of his relatives because he suspected he might be a traitor. His reputation became so fearsome that it was common for Italian immigrants to cross themselves at the mention of his name.

Crimes committed and jail time
Lupo was suspected of at least 60 murders, and may have committed many more. He was a suspect in the killing on July 22, 1902, of Giuseppe "Joe the Grocer" Catania. Catania was suspected of openly talking about a counterfeit operation which he was involved in with Lupo to his neighbors and friends; Catania also testified against several men in Palermo, which resulted in their 20-year prison terms. Catania was stabbed to death and left inside a potato sack on the shore of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

Lupo was also suspected of the April 14, 1903, barrel murder of Madonia Benedetto. However, he was not charged with any crimes until 1910, when the Secret Service arrested him for running a large scale counterfeiting ring in the Catskills. He was sentenced to 30 years and imprisoned in Atlanta Prison, but was granted parole on June 30, 1920.

While serving out the conditions of parole, Lupo wanted to take a trip to Italy, but the Parole Act forbade him from leaving the country. In 1922, President Warren Harding freed Lupo from the constraints of his parole by granting a conditional commutation of sentence. The Annual Report of the Attorney General for 1922 mentioned Lupo's desire to return to Italy but also noted that his codefendant, Giuseppe Morello, had received a commutation after just eight years of imprisonment. The former Chief of the Selective Service considered the relative guilt of the two men to be, roughly, the same and thus recommended a commutation for Lupo.

Harding did, however, attach a condition to the commutation, requiring Lupo to remain "law-abiding" and "not connected with any unlawful undertaking during the period of the sentence". The President himself would be the sole judge of whether the "condition" was ever violated and, if it ever was, he could declare the commutation null and void. In such circumstance, the President would order Lupo arrested and returned to prison to serve out the remainder of the sentence.

Sometime in the early 1930s, the leaders of the emerging National Crime Syndicate called Lupo in for a meeting and forced him to give up nearly all of his rackets, except for a small Italian lottery in Brooklyn. Lupo relied almost entirely on violence and terror. The Syndicate preferred to use bribery first, and felt Lupo's tactics generated too much heat.

On his own, Lupo formed a protection racket involving bakers. In 1936, New York Governor Herbert Lehman petitioned President Franklin D. Roosevelt to have Lupo returned to prison for massive racketeering. He was returned to Atlanta Prison to serve a few years on his original counterfeiting sentence.

Death
After his release, he returned to Brooklyn, where he died more or less unnoticed in 1947. Lupo and the four Morello-Terranova brothers are interred in Calvary Cemetery in Queens, New York, not far from Joe Petrosino, who investigated them, and other Morello crime family members.

In popular culture

 * There is a character called "Ignaz the Wolf" in author Damon Runyon's short story "Too Much Pep".
 * The character of Don Fanucci in The Godfather Part II is based on Ignazio Lupo.
 * Australian band Sticky fingers release their new album called "Lekkerboy", which contains a song called "Lupo the wolf", they tell the story of a “sicilian gangster famous for becoming a kingpin and chopping people into taters.”

Marjorie Reynolds

Marjorie Reynolds ( Goodspeed; August 12, 1917 – February 1, 1997) was an American film and television actress who appeared in more than 50 films, including the 1942 musical Holiday Inn, in which she and Bing Crosby introduced the song "White Christmas" in a duet, albeit with her singing dubbed.

Early life
The daughter of a doctor and his wife, Reynolds was born Marjorie Goodspeed in Buhl, Idaho. She acted under the names Marjorie Goodspeed and Marjorie Moore. When she was three years old, her family moved to Los Angeles, California. She began to take dancing lessons at age 4. She attended Los Angeles High School.

Career
Beginning at age 6, Reynolds was a featured child actress in such silent films as Scaramouche (1923). At age 8 she stopped acting to concentrate on education until leaving school at 16 to play a ballerina in Herbert Brenon's Wine, Women and Song (1933). She went on to appear in bit parts in many films, including Gone with the Wind (1939) and as a chorus girl in Paramount Pictures musicals. Her first speaking role was in Murder in Greenwich Village (1937) and she then appeared in a number of westerns for Poverty Row studios opposite most of the cowboy stars of the time with the exception of Gene Autry.

Reynolds played the loyal girlfriend opposite wrongly accused Richard Cromwell in Enemy Agent (1940). That same year, in The Fatal Hour, Reynolds appeared for Monogram Pictures as a reporter on the trail of Boris Karloff's detective James Lee Wong and opposite Grant Withers as a cop.

Perhaps her best-known film was Holiday Inn (1942), which introduced the classic song "White Christmas". She performed the song both as a duet with Bing Crosby and later in a solo performance, although her singing was dubbed by Martha Mears. The movie also showcased her dancing ability.

She also had major roles in Fritz Lang's Ministry of Fear (1944) and in the movie Up in Mabel's Room (1944). Her career progression was hindered by the premature death of her mentor, Mark Sandrich.

Reynolds starred with Abbott and Costello in the supernatural comedy The Time of Their Lives (1946), one of the few films with Abbott and Costello as leads but not together as a team. Instead, Costello spends most of his screen time with Reynolds; they play a pair of American Revolution ghosts who need the help of Abbott and his friends to get to heaven. Leonard Maltin's review of the film describes it as "Most unusual film for A&C and one of their best... Imaginative, funny, and well done." She was cast in a supporting role in Mario Lanza's film debut, That Midnight Kiss (1949).

She later appeared in the NBC version of the television series The Life of Riley (1953–1958) and appeared on three episodes of the television series Leave it to Beaver (1960–1963).

Personal life
Reynolds was married to Jack Reynolds, a casting director. The couple had a daughter, Linda, and divorced in 1952. Her second husband was film editor Jon M. Haffen (who during his acting career had been billed as John Whitney). He died in 1985.

Recognition
Reynolds has a star in the Television section of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, at 1525 Vine Street.

Death
On February 1, 1997, having suffered from congestive heart disease, she collapsed and died in Manhattan Beach, California, while walking her dog. She was 79 years old.

Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts

The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi - Billedkunst Skolerne) has provided education in the arts for more than 250 years, playing its part in the development of the art of Denmark.

History
The Royal Danish Academy of Portraiture, Sculpture, and Architecture in Copenhagen was inaugurated on 31 March 1754, and given as a gift to the King Frederik V on his 31st birthday.

Its name was changed to the Royal Danish Academy of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture in 1771. At the same event, Johann Friedrich Struensee introduced a new scheme in the academy to encourage artisan apprentices to take supplementary classes in drawing so as to develop the notion of "good taste". The building boom resulting from the Great Fire of 1795 greatly profited from this initiative.

In 1814 the name was changed again, this time to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. It is still situated in its original building, the Charlottenborg Palace, located on the Kongens Nytorv in Copenhagen. The School of Architecture has been situated in former naval buildings on Holmen since 1996.

It teaches and conducts research on the subjects of painting, sculpting, architecture, graphics, photography, performance, and video, as well as in the history of those subjects.

The academy is under the administration of the Danish Ministry of Culture.

The School of Architecture, Design and Conservation is separated from Schools of Visual arts and therefore is a different institution(KADK)

Talk:Gideon Mantell

Untitled
I am creating a display for a small dinosaur museum. I was going to credit him as the first paleontologist. Would this be a path to take on my exhibit?

OH Yes. William Buckland (and many before) had picked up collections of gigantic bones, but Gideon was the first to understand and name the 'age of reptiles' (1820's). He was also the first to find the first herbivorous dinosaur (Buckland found the first carnivorous dinosaur although he had no idea what is was at the time).

Mantell is one of those incredible unsung heroes of the Victorian age. It was only the intervention of such eminaries as Sir Charles Lyell that helped Gideon gain a little of the respect that he should have had for his incredible insight and investigation into the animal kingdom.

If you fancy investigating a great story, look into the fight between Mantell and Sir Richard Owen. There is a lot of literature available. Dennis Dean's book on Mantell is the best. Austin Graham Bagnall of National Library Centre, Wellington, New Zealand is a good contact on Walter Mantell, Gideon's son (New Zealand is also where Gideon's original diaries currently reside, although they were published by the Curwen Press in the 1940's).

hello ppl i have to write a paper on this Gideon Mantell guy and none of this info has helped me sofar...it is due tomorrow and i haven't got any thing yet..this is not good

Mantell and Owen
I'm afraid the article at present does not give an adequate account of Richard Owen's evildoing against Mantell, important because of Owen's position in the evolution debate, and Mantell's position in palaeontology.

Thomas B. Molloy

Thomas Boniface Molloy (November 28, 1878 – June 20, 1948) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1914 to 1915, as a member of the Liberal Party.

Early life
Molloy was born in Shelley, Manitoba. His father, John Molloy, was a Dominion land surveyor, and was involved in early construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The elder Molloy sought election to the House of Commons of Canada in the 1879 federal election, but lost to Joseph Royal of the Conservative Party in the riding of Provencher. Thomas Molloy was educated at public school in Emerson, and at normal school in Winnipeg. He worked as a contractor. He was reeve of the Rural Municipality of Ste. Anne from 1919 to 1921.

Political career
Thomas Molloy was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1914 provincial election, defeating Conservative incumbent Albert Prefontaine by seven votes in the Carillon constituency. The Conservatives won the election, and Molloy sat with his party in opposition.

In 1915, the Conservative government of Rodmond Roblin was forced to resign from office amid a corruption scandal. A new election was called, in which the Liberals won a landslide majority. Molloy, however, lost his seat to Prefontaine by twenty-four votes. His defeat was primarily due to the Liberal Party's unpopularity among some francophone voters, who opposed the party's plans to end funding for denominational education.

Molloy ran for the Canadian House of Commons in the federal election of 1921 as a candidate of the Liberal Party of Canada, and lost to Progressive candidate Robert Alexander Hoey by 1,397 votes in the riding of Springfield. He also attempted to return to the provincial legislature in the 1927, but lost to Prefontaine by 1,146 votes. Prefontaine was by this time a member of the Progressive Party of Manitoba.

Molloy made a further bid for elected office in the 1935 federal election, running as a candidate of Henry Herbert Stevens's Reconstruction Party in the riding of St. Boniface. He finished last in a field of five candidates with only 438 votes.

Personal life and death
In 1911, Molloy married Marie, the daughter of Joseph Dubuc. His brothers John Patrick and William also served in the Manitoba assembly.

He died at home in Montreal at the age of 69.

Talk:Hume's principle

Merging
I don't see the necessity of this page being merged with cardinality.

I would definetely not merge the two, they should be kept separate.

Julius Baumann?
Sparing the gory details, I find Frege's work (Sense and Reference) to be philosophically naive. I often wondered how Frege could possibly espouse a theory of meaning so obviously at odds with Kant without some defense of his theory vis a vis Kant.

So the comment that Frege had "probably never read Hume" leads me to wonder if Frege ever read Kant. If Frege never read either Hume or Kant, isn't analytical philosophy, of which Frege is one of the "fathers", in some sense an illegitimate child? Can whoever wrote this page include some more details regarding Frege's philosophical background?

Thanks in advance,

hemlockStreet@gmail.com

That information is likely to be found on the page for Gottlob Frege. I would also recommend J. Alberto Coffa's book "The Semantic Tradition from Kant to Carnap to the Vienna Station".--138.251.242.34 (talk) 12:01, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Fs and Gs??
Why would a supposedly important principle be stated using nonsense words Fs and Gs. And why would anybody care about them? Visibly Hume never mentioned them. So maybe the intro to this article should be restated in a meaningful way. Marc van Leeuwen (talk) 12:42, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

It is stated in this way by Frege and HP figured prominently in the literature on Frege (rather than the literature on Hume). Mars2mogwai (talk) 20:51, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

 * In any case I think it should be explained (parenthetically) what exactly "Fs" and "Gs" mean (I think they just stand for arbitrary things, in which case why not use the more familiar "Xs" and "Ys"?) Joel Brennan (talk) 16:12, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

What about using in the lead the contemporary mathematical definition of set cardinality; Frege's original phrasing (if available) could be given as a footnote, or in the "Origins" section. Concretely, I suggest the sentence "... HP says that two sets F and G have the same number of elements if and only if there is a one-to-one correspondence (a bijection) between F and G". Note that bijection needn't be linked again. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 14:14, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Joe Conley

Joe Conley (March 3, 1928 – July 7, 2013) was an American actor who played many small roles on television and is most remembered for his role as the storekeeper Ike Godsey in The Waltons.

Personal life and career
Joe Conley was born in Buffalo, New York. He started acting after returning from military service in Korea, and was running three real-estate agencies in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles by the early 1970s after beginning this second career in 1961. While acting, he continued to work in real estate and, as a result, became wealthy.

By the early 1970s, his career as an actor was in limbo. After twenty years of small parts, mainly in television shows, he performed with Pat Harrington in an AT&T educational film called How to Lose Your Best Customer Without Even Trying.  Before long, he was cast as storekeeper Ike Godsey in The Waltons. Conley was paired with Ronnie Claire Edwards, who portrayed his wife Corabeth Walton Godsey; their characters married on the show in 1975. In 2009, Conley published his autobiography, Ike Godsey of Walton's Mountain.

In real life, Conley was married to and later divorced from Jacqueline Stakes, with whom he had two children. He married Louise Teecher in 1969, and had two children with her.

Death
Conley died on July 7, 2013, at a care facility in Newbury Park, California of complications from dementia. He was 85 and is survived by his wife, three daughters, and a son.

TZ Arietis

TZ Arietis (also known as Gliese 83.1, GJ 9066, or L 1159-16) is a red dwarf in the northern constellation of Aries. With a normal apparent visual magnitude of 12.3, it is too faint to be seen by the naked eye, although it lies relatively close to the Sun at a distance of 4.47 pc. It is a flare star, which means it can suddenly increase in brightness for short periods of time.

Variability
TZ Arietis is a variable star. It is a flare star, showing brief increases in brightness due to eruptions from its surface. In the ultraviolet, flares of over a magnitude have been observed. In addition it shows longterm variations in brightness which may be due to starspots and rotation, possibly classifying it as a BY Draconis variable. It was given the variable star designation TZ Arietis in 1970.

Planetary system
In a preprint submitted to arXiv in June 2019, three candidate planets were reported in orbit around this star (GJ 83.1) with orbital periods of 2, 240, and 770 days. A paper published in August 2020 reported a confirmation of the 240-day and 770-day planets, designating them "b" and "c", respectively.

In March 2022, astronomers using the Calar Alto Observatory in Spain, as part of the CARMENES survey project, reported an independent confirmation of the 770-day planet, which they designated "b". However, they found no evidence for the 240-day planet, and confidently defined the 2-day candidate as nothing more than a spurious chromatic effect of the star, linked to its rotation. The NASA Exoplanet Archive still refers to the confirmed, 770-day planet as "c".

Bulletproof hosting

Bulletproof hosting (BPH) is technical infrastructure service provided by an Internet hosting service that is resilient to complaints of illicit activities, which serves criminal actors as a basic building block for streamlining various cyberattacks. BPH providers allow online gambling, illegal pornography, botnet command and control servers, spam, copyrighted materials, hate speech and misinformation, despite takedown court orders and law enforcement subpoenas, allowing such material in their acceptable use policies.

BPH providers usually operate in jurisdictions which have lenient laws against such conduct. Most non-BPH service providers prohibit transferring materials over their network that would be in violation of their terms of service and the local laws of the incorporated jurisdiction, and oftentimes any abuse reports would result in takedowns to avoid their autonomous system's IP address block being blacklisted by other providers and by Spamhaus.

History
BPH first became the subject of research in 2006 when security researchers from VeriSign revealed the Russian Business Network, an internet service provider that hosted a phishing group, was responsible for about $150 million in phishing-related scams. RBN also become known for identity thefts, child pornography, and botnets. The following year, McColo, the web hosting provider responsible for more than 75% of global spam was shut down and de-peered by Global Crossing and Hurricane Electric after the public disclosure by then-Washington Post reporter Brian Krebs on his Security Fix blog on that newspaper.

Difficulties
Since any abuse reports to the BPH will be disregarded, in most cases, the whole IP block ("netblock") assigned to the BPH's autonomous system will be blacklisted by other providers and third party spam filters. Additionally, BPH also have difficulty in finding network peering points for establishing Border Gateway Protocol sessions, since routing a BPH provider's network can affect the reputation of upstream autonomous systems and transit provider. This makes it difficult for BPH services to provide stable network connectivity, and in extreme cases, they can be completely de-peered; therefore BPH providers evade AS's reputation based fortification such as BGP Ranking and ASwatch through unconventional methodologies.

Web hosting reseller
According to a report, due to their mounting difficulties, BPH providers engage in establishing reseller relationships with lower-end hosting providers; although these providers are not complicit in supporting the illegitimate activities, they tend to be lenient on abuse reports and do not actively engage in fraud detection. Therefore, BPH conceals itself behind lower-end hosting providers, leveraging their better reputation and simultaneously operating both bulletproof and legitimate resells through the sub-allocated network blocks. However, if the BPH services are caught, providers of BPH migrate their clients to a newer internet infrastructure—newer lower-end AS, or IP space—effectively making the blacklisted IP addresses of the previous AS ephemeral; thus continuing to engage in criminal conduct by modifying the DNS server's resource records of the listening services and making it point to the newer IP addresses belonging to the current AS's IP space. Due to privacy concerns, the customary modes of contact for BPH providers include ICQ, Skype, and XMPP (or Jabber).

Admissible abuses
Most BPH providers promise immunity against copyright infringement and court order takedown notices, notably Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Electronic Commerce Directive (ECD) and law enforcement subpoenas. They also allow users to operate phishing, scams (such as high-yield investment program), botnet masters and unlicensed online pharmacy websites. In these cases, the BPH providers (known as "offshore providers") operate in jurisdictions which do not have any extradition treaty or mutual legal assistance treaty (MLAT) signed with the five eye countries, particularly the United States. However, most BPH providers have a zero-tolerance policy towards child pornography and terrorism, although a few allow cold storage of such material given forbidden open-accessibility via the public internet.

Prevalent jurisdictions for incorporation and location of the data centers for BPH providers include Russia (being more permissive), Ukraine, China, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Belize, Panama and the Seychelles.

Impacts
BPH services act as vital network infrastructure providers for activities such as cybercrime and online illicit economies, and the well-established working model of the cybercrime economies surrounds upon tool development and skill-sharing among peers. The development of exploits, such as zero-day vulnerabilities, are done by a very small community of highly-skilled actors, who encase them in convenient tools which are usually bought by low-skilled actors (known as script kiddies), who make use of BPH providers to carry out cyberattacks, usually targeting low-profile unpretentious network services and individuals. According to a report produced by Carnegie Mellon University for the United States Department of Defense, low-profile amateur actors are also potent in causing harmful consequences, especially to small businesses, inexperienced internet users, and miniature servers.

Criminal actors also run specialized computer programs on BPH providers knowns as port scanners which scan the entire IPv4 address space for open ports, services run on those open ports, and the version of their service daemons, searching for vulnerable versions for exploitation. One such notable vulnerability scanned by the port scanners is Heartbleed, which affected millions of internet servers. Furthermore, BPH clients also host click fraud, adware (such as DollarRevenue), and money laundering recruitment sites, which lure untried internet users into honey trapping and causing financial losses to the individuals while unrestrictedly keeping their illicit sites online, despite court orders and takedown attempts by law enforcement.

Counterinitiatives against BPH
The Spamhaus Project is an international nonprofit organization that monitors cyber threats and provides realtime blacklist reports (known as the "Badness Index") on malicious ASs, netblocks, and registrars that are involved in spam, phishing, or cybercrime activities. The Spamhaus team works closely with law enforcement agencies such as National Cyber-Forensics and Training Alliance (NCFTA) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the data compiled by Spamhaus is used by the majority of the ISPs, email service providers, corporations, educational institutes, governments and uplink gateways of military networks. Spamhaus publishes various data feeds that list netblocks of the criminal actors, and is designed for use by gateways, firewalls and routing equipments to filter out (or "nullroute") traffic originating from these netblocks:
 * Spamhaus Don't Route Or Peer List (DROP) lists netblocks allocated by an established Regional Internet Registry (RIR) or National Internet Registry (NIR) that are used by criminal actors, and doesn't include abused IP address spaces sub-allocated netblocks of a reputable AS.
 * Spamhaus Domain Block List (DBL) lists domain names with poor reputation in DNSBL format.
 * Spamhaus Botnet Controller List (BCL) lists single IPv4 addresses of botnet masters.

Notable closed services
The following are some of the notable defunct BPH providers:
 * CyberBunker, taken down in September 2019.
 * McColo, taken down in November 2008.
 * Russian Business Network (RBN), taken down in November 2007.
 * Atrivo, taken down in September 2008.
 * 3FN, taken down by FTC in June 2009.
 * Proxiez, taken down in May 2010.

Owensboro–Daviess County Airport is a public use airport located three miles southwest of Owensboro, in Daviess County, Kentucky. The airport is owned by both the city and county. One airline schedules passenger flights, subsidized by the Essential Air Service program.

Federal Aviation Administration records say this airport had 23,537 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2016. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021 categorized it as a primary commercial service airport.

Facilities
Owensboro–Daviess County Airport covers 880 acres (356 ha) at an elevation of 407 feet (124 m). It has two runways: 18/36 is 8,000 by 150 feet (2,438 x 46 m) concrete and 6/24 is 5,000 by 100 feet (1,524 x 30 m) asphalt/concrete. In the year ending April 30, 2018 the airport had 19,991 aircraft operations, an average of 55 per day: 76% general aviation, 13% air taxi, 10% military, and 1% commercial airline. In June 2019, 49 aircraft were based at this airport: 35 single-engine, 6 multi-engine, 7 jet and 1 ultralight.

History
Eastern Airlines landed at Owensboro from 1951 to 1964, and Ozark Airlines from 1955 to 1975 (including DC-9s circa 1972).

RegionsAir operating as AmericanConnection flew to St. Louis until March 2007. The next EAS contract was awarded to Big Sky Airlines (Delta Connection), with service to Cincinnati scheduled to begin in June 2007. Big Sky began service in November 2007 and abruptly ended operations in January 2008. Great Lakes Aviation was awarded a contract but ultimately cancelled. Owensboro was without scheduled air service from January 7, 2008, until August 31, 2009, when Pacific Wings operating as KentuckySkies was awarded the Essential Air Service contract offering flights to Nashville. On June 30, 2011, Pacific Wings notified the USDOT of their intent to end service at OWB, saying that they were "unable to procure counter or gate space at Nashville International Airport on reasonable terms," and on October 20, 2011 American Airlines code-share partner Cape Air was selected to operate flights to their hub at Lambert–St. Louis International Airport with service beginning on December 5, 2011. On February 19, 2009 Allegiant Air began flying Owensboro to Orlando Sanford International Airport; it flew to Las Vegas as well. The airline ended flights to Las Vegas on August 13, 2012, but resumed them later. After 14 years, they discontinued the operations on May 29, 2023.

Due to inflation, Cape Air opted in late 2022 to cease operations out of Owensboro before the end of their contract, which was scheduled to end in 2023. Contour Airlines was chosen to replace Cape Air and commence operations to and from Charlotte. However, both Contour Airlines and Owensboro Airport later decided to change the twelve Owensboro flights per week to go to Chicago O'Hare International Airport instead of Charlotte, as Charlotte was already served by the nearby Evansville Regional Airport, but service to Chicago has been suspended from Evansville Regional Airport since 2021. Department of Transportation approved this change on May 30, 2023. The service started on August 1, 2023.

Thomas Molloy

Thomas George Anstruther Molloy (4 October 1852 – 16 February 1938) was an Australian politician. He was a member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly (MLA) for the electorate of Perth from 1892 until 1894, and thereafter became a perennial candidate, unsuccessfully standing for parliament 14 times. He also served two terms as the Mayor of Perth, from 1908 to 1909 and from 1911 to 1912. Molloy also made a significant contribution to the cultural life of Perth, building numerous hotels and the first two theatres in the city, most notably His Majesty's Theatre, which is still open today.

Biography
Molloy was born in Toronto, Canada West, to John Molloy, a soldier who served with the Royal Welch Fusiliers in the Crimean War and the Indian Mutiny of 1857, and Jane née Curtis. In 1862, they migrated to colonial Western Australia, where John Molloy served as a Pensioner Guard supervising convicts who had been transported from the United Kingdom. Thomas Molloy, meanwhile, attended Christian Brothers College, Perth, and left school at the age of 13 to work at a printing office. He then worked in the cooperative movement with  Reilly, and became manager of the city cooperative store at the corner of Barrack and Murray Streets. By 1870, his successes enabled him to buy the entire block between Murray and Wellington for £900.

On 18 February 1873, he married Amelia Littlejohn, with whom he had two daughters and one son. They moved to South Australia, where he worked as a merchant, but returned to Perth in 1875 where he became a successful baker, not only owning his Goderich Street shop but also 10 two-roomed cottages for his workers. Returning to printing, he worked on the Daily News from 1881, and then from 1884 became commercial manager for The West Australian. He became involved in buying and selling real estate in the central and western parts of the city, and by the 1890s with the onset of the gold rush and the resulting flow of capital into Western Australia, this had proved profitable enough an enterprise that he was of independent means and had become one of the largest landowners in Perth. His wife died on 21 April 1888, and he subsequently married Mary Reaney McHale on 23 January 1889, with whom he had two daughters.

Political life
In 1884, Molloy was elected to the Perth City Council, where he represented the Central and West wards until 1906. In December 1891, Edward Scott resigned from the Western Australian Legislative Assembly seat of Perth, and Molloy nominated for the resulting by-election which he won against mayor Edward Keane, and was duly appointed to the vacancy on 13 January 1892. In this, he had been supported by the infant Trades and Labor Council, who were advocating electoral reform, payment of Members of Parliament, prohibition of Asian immigration and introduction of an arbitration court. Being Roman Catholic and not part of the landed classes which dominated the Parliament of that time, he proved to be somewhat populist in character, advocating universal suffrage and public ownership of power and utilities. However, he became embroiled in a controversy regarding education which split the labour movement along sectarian lines. In 1892, the Forrest government had overseen the creation of a Department of Education under ministerial control, while maintaining state aid to private schools. A National Education League led by prominent Congregationalist George Randell, led the cause against this, arguing that it was an obstacle to the creation of an efficient education system. In response, the Catholic Vicar General, Father Anselm Bourke, established the Education Defence League with the assistance of Molloy and fellow Catholic MLAs Timothy Quinlan and Alfred Canning. The issue became a major one in the 1894 election amongst the voting public, with all three MLAs losing their seats—Molloy being defeated by Randell himself.

After this loss, Molloy unsuccessfully contested the Metropolitan Province seat in the Western Australian Legislative Council in 1894, when the body became fully elective. He then attempted to re-enter Parliament on a further twelve occasions under a variety of party labels or as an independent, and then as a Nationalist Party candidate from 1917 onwards. His last effort was at a by-election for the Metropolitan Province in 1932.

He continued through this period as a Perth City councillor, serving as mayor of Perth in 1908–09 and 1911–12. He was known as something of a radical, espousing similar causes to those he had supported previously, with a notable achievement during his time as mayor being the ending of Perth Gas Company's monopoly on power and lighting in 1912. He also advocated public ownership of Perth's tramways, but was outnumbered by other councillors—transport remained in private ownership until the advent of the Metropolitan Transport Trust in 1958. He also opposed admission charges to enter public space and sporting events on the Esplanade, and supported the construction of free public baths. After 1912, he tried repeatedly to become mayor again with poor results, being labelled "too stubborn and disputatious to work with".

Civic and cultural life
Molloy was made a Justice of the Peace in 1895, and was appointed in 1897 to the Board of Trustees for the Karrakatta Cemetery. He became chairman of the Board in 1924 and served in that role until 26 October 1937.

He was also instrumental in attracting finance and commissioning some of Perth's early cultural buildings. Up until the 1890s, Perth had no theatres, and actors performed in either the Perth Town Hall or in St George's Hall, described by The West Australian in 1891 as a place "where there is much that is unsuitable" and "the most significant proof of the old-time backwardness and poverty of Western Australia". At the time Western Australia had 53,177 people—a figure that was to double within the next five years. On 20 September 1893, Molloy purchased Perth Lot F3 on the south side of what is now Hay Street Mall with the assistance of Alexander Forrest, the then Mayor of Perth, and obtained a publican's licence a week later. In 1894, the Hotel Metropole was constructed on the site, and in February 1895, he announced plans for a 1,000-seat theatre to be built on land adjoining the hotel. The foundation stone was laid by Mrs A. Forrest on 8 May 1895, and the Theatre Royal opened on 19 April 1897. While its initial success was mixed, due mainly to the changing economic and demographic characteristics of Perth, by the 1930s it had become the most popular picture theatre in Perth. It eventually closed in 1977.

By 1901, Perth had become a place of optimism and confidence fuelled by the gold rush. In 1902, after the ascension of King Edward VII to the English throne, Molloy announced plans for a new theatre at Hay and King Streets, to be known as His Majesty's Theatre. It was completed at a cost of £46,000 by architect William Wolf and builder Frederick Liebe, and for many years boasted the largest stage in Australia. The Heritage Council of Western Australia, which listed the building in 1999, described it as having "the most lavish and well-executed ornamentation of any Federation Free Classical theatre building in Australia".

Molloy went on to build other hotels, such as the Australia Hotel in Perth, the North Beach Hotel, the Brighton Hotel in Scarborough and the Oceanic (later Mosman Park) Hotel.

Later life
His second wife Mary died on 7 February 1925. He was created a papal knight commander of the Order of St. Gregory the Great in 1931—given his anxiousness to become a knight, he went by the title of Sir from this point.

He died at St John of God Hospital, Subiaco, on 16 February 1938 and, after a requiem mass at St Mary's Cathedral, was buried in the Roman Catholic section of Karrakatta Cemetery. He was survived by one daughter from his second marriage.

Caribair

Caribair was an airline based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. It operated scheduled services within the Dominican Republic and to Haiti, as well as charter flights and air taxi services throughout the Caribbean. Its main base was La Isabela International Airport, Santo Domingo.

History
The airline was established and began operations in 1983. It began operations with two aircraft and changed ownership in 1988.

On January 20, 2009, the Dominican Civil Aviation Institute (IDAC) ordered Caribair to suspend its flight operations due to alleged "operational irregularities". Caribair reportedly was found by IDAC inspectors to be "masking multiple commercial operations as private operations in unauthorized airplanes." The company announced on January 26, 2009, that it would appeal the suspension. IDAC later allowed the airline to recommence operations, with a reduced schedule using only two aircraft.

Destinations
Caribair operated services to the following international scheduled destinations (at January 2005): Port-au-Prince and Santiago de Cuba.

Caribair flew to 26 destinations in nine countries, including Aruba, the Bahamas, Haiti, Netherlands Antilles, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, and some scheduled charter flights to the United States.

Domestics destinations included all airports in Dominican Republic, making it the largest airline of the country.

Fleet
In March 2007 the Caribair fleet included the following aircraft:

Codeshare agreements
Caribair was the parent company of the Haitian airline Caribintair. Caribair had six aircraft in leasing for this airline, operating domestics flights in Haiti, as well as some international flights to Santo Domingo and Santiago, Dominican Republic. They also operated charter flights into Barahona and Dajabon. All Caribintair flights were codeshared by Caribair.

New York City Housing Authority

The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is a public development corporation which provides public housing in New York City, and is the largest public housing authority in North America. Created in 1934 as the first agency of its kind in the United States, it aims to provide decent, affordable housing for low- and moderate-income New Yorkers throughout the five boroughs of New York City. NYCHA also administers a citywide Section 8 Leased Housing Program in rental apartments. NYCHA developments include single and double family houses, apartment units, singular floors, and shared small building units, and commonly have large income disparities with their respective surrounding neighborhood or community. These developments, particularly those including large-scale apartment buildings, are often referred to in popular culture as "projects."The New York City Housing Authority's goal is to increase opportunities for low- and moderate-income New Yorkers by providing affordable housing and facilitating access to public service and community services. More than 360,000 New Yorkers reside in NYCHA's 335 public housing developments across the city's five boroughs. Another 235,000 receive subsidized rental assistance in private homes through the NYCHA-administered Section 8 Leased Housing Program.

History
NYCHA was created in 1934 to help alleviate the housing crisis caused by the Great Depression during Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia's administration and was the first agency in the United States to provide publicly funded housing. The agency used the developments to practice slum-clearance and establish model affordable housing for the city. In 1935, NYCHA completed its first development, the First Houses, located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The parcel of land the houses were located on were purchased from Vincent Astor and the city used eminent domain to secure the remaining property. However, the construction of the First Houses used existing apartment buildings to renovate which proved too costly.

NYCHA's first two "new from the ground up" developments were Harlem River in 1937 and Williamsburg in 1938. Both are noted for their art-deco style of architecture, which are unique in public housing. These developments were segregated based on race with Harlem River being black-only and Williamsburg white-only.

The Authority boomed in partnership with Robert Moses after World War II as a part of Moses' plan to clear old tenements and remake New York as a modern city. Moses indicated later in life that he was disappointed at how the public housing system fell into decline and disrepair. The majority of NYCHA developments were built between 1945 and 1965. Unlike most cities, New York depended heavily on city and state funds to build its housing after the Federal Housing Act of 1937 expired and a new bill wasn't agreed upon until the Federal Housing Act of 1949, rather than just the federal government. Most of the postwar developments had over 1,000 apartment units each, and most were built in the modernist, tower-in-the-park style popular at the time. In the 1950s and 1960s, many New Yorkers, including supporters, became more critical of the agency and in response NYCHA introduced a new look that included variations of height, faster elevators, and larger apartments. In 1958, Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr. began to shift construction away from megaprojects to smaller sites which retained the street grid and had under 1,000 units.

In 1964, NYCHA ended a policy that held apartments for white tenants in an attempt to integrate the developments. Tenants organized a rent strike in opposition to the policy and the State Commission of Human Rights questioned if the policy was in accordance to the state's laws on discrimination.

In 1995, the New York City Housing Authority Police Department and the New York City Transit Police were merged into the New York City Police Department by NYC Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and continues today as the New York City Police Department Housing Bureau.

Governance and operations
NYCHA is a public-benefit corporation, controlled by the Mayor of New York City, and organized under the State's Public Housing Law. The NYCHA ("NYCHA Board") consists of seven members, of which the chairman is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the Mayor of New York City, while the others are appointed for three-year terms by the mayor. The board includes three members who are residents of public housing, and a board chair who also serves as NYCHA's chief executive officer.

On September 15, 2022, Mayor Eric Adams announced a new two person leadership structure for NYCHA with a split between the NYCHA Chair and CEO roles, with the CEO managing the day-to-day operations and the Chair overseeing the NYCHA Board.

The Authority is the largest public housing authority (PHA) in North America. In spite of many problems, it is still considered by experts to be the most successful big-city public housing authority in the country. Whereas most large public housing authorities in the United States (Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, etc.) have demolished their high-rise projects and in most cases replaced them with lower density housing, New York's continue to be fully occupied. Most of its market-rate housing is also in high-rise buildings.

NYCHA also administers a citywide Section 8 Leased Housing Program in rental apartments. However, new applications for Section 8 have not been accepted since December 10, 2009.

New York also maintains a long waiting list for its apartments. Because of demand, the Housing Authority in recent years, has selected more "working families" from applicants to diversify the income structure of occupants of its housing, as had been typical of residents who first occupied the facilities. NYCHA's Conventional Public Housing Program has 175,636 apartments (as of 2018) in 325 developments throughout the city.

NYCHA has approximately 13,000 employees serving about 173,946 families and approximately 392,259 authorized residents. Based on the 2010 census, NYCHA's Public Housing represents 8.2% of the city's rental apartments and is home to 4.9% of the city's population. NYCHA residents and Section 8 voucher holders combined occupy 12.4% of the city's rental apartments.

Capital needs
In 2004, NYCHA contracted with the Architectural/Engineering firm Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade and Douglas to perform a needs assessment survey of all 2500+ properties owned by the agency (excluding FHA Homes, which were inspected by in-house NYCHA personnel in about 2007). In 2005, a report was released detailing the conditions of every aspect and building component of each individual property, based on a scale of 1 to 5 (in this case, 1 being the highest or best rating, and 5 being the lowest, or poorest rating). This report identified $6.9 billion in needs required to bring the Authority's structures into a state of good repair. In 2011/12, a second needs assessment survey was done by PBQ&D, which identified $16.5 billion in needs. This represented an average of $93,000 per unit. It is anticipated that an upcoming needs assessment contract will reveal capital needs in excess of $25 billion. The needs assessment survey is divided into five broad categories, which are: Architectural, Mechanical, Electrical, Site, and Apartments. Given the large number of apartment units within NYCHA, the report's findings on apartments are based upon an inspection of 5% of NYCHA's total inventory.

In mid-2007, NYCHA faced a $225 million budget shortfall.

In late 2015, NYCHA announced the formation of the Fund for Public Housing, a nonprofit organization that will seek to raise $200 million over three years to supplement NYCHA's efforts and improve the lives of NYC public housing residents. The Fund received its first donation of $100,000 from the Deutsche Bank in December 2015. Also in 2015 Mayor Bill de Blasio released a plan called Next Gen NYCHA to address funding and maintenance concerns by "revamping management practices and generate revenue by building mixed-income and affordable housing on what the city deemed underused NYCHA land, and by using new federal programs to shift NYCHA apartments over to Section 8, a more stable source of federal funding".

In 2018, a city-wide survey of NYCHA properties found that the organization needs $31.8 billion over five years to address unmet capital repairs including replacing broken elevators, upgrading faulty heating systems, and fix run-down kitchens and bathrooms. Despite its needed repairs, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is cutting the agency's budget to encourage NYCHA to rely on partnerships with private property managers while Governor Andrew Cuomo is withholding his multiyear funding of $550 million until a federally required monitor is appointed to oversee the housing authority. Later that year, the de Blasio administration announced a plan, called NYCHA 2.0, to address the capital needs of the agency which includes converting 62,000 NYCHA apartments into Section 8 and bringing in private management to oversee the backlog of repairs for the apartments, and selling air rights over NYCHA property to raise money. The conversion of the properties would be under the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) federal program leading to concerns that NYCHA would be privatized. If units were to be brought under RAD, oversight by the monitor and the court would be terminated leading to further concerns that the mold remediation ordered in the 2013 Baez lawsuit wouldn't happen.

In 2019, the administration, under NYCHA 2.0, began considering demolishing and rebuilding the Fulton Houses in Chelsea and the Cooper Park Houses in Williamsburg through partnering with private developers and a 70–30 split of market-rate and affordable housing. Other developers began lobbying the city for air rights from Campos Plaza II, Fulton Houses, and the Ingersoll Houses.

The approach of the administration, under NYCHA 2.0, is a turn back to Bloomberg-era initiatives of market rate infill that he once felt ignored the concerns of NYCHA residents after a failed trial of four buildings with a 50–50 split of market-rate and low-cost housing infill did not provide enough money under Next-Gen NYCHA. Then in July, 2020 NYCHA announced a new plan called A Blueprint for Change which would transfer 110,000 apartments to a newly created public entity - a Public Housing Preservation Trust. In February, 2021 the Chelsea NYCHA Working Group released their plan for the Elliott-Chelsea Houses and the Fulton Houses and the city released an RFP for it.

Hurricane Sandy and its impact on NYCHA
In October, 2012, Hurricane Sandy turned out to be the single most destructive event in the history of the New York City Housing Authority. The storm impacted approximately 10% of NYCHA's developments, which left 400 buildings without power, and 386 buildings without heat and hot water.

In February 2014, NYCHA's Recovery and Resilience Department was created bringing about initial agreements in over $3 billion in funding for over 33 developments by March 2015. In August 2015, the first construction began on Lower East Side V. In December 2015, NYCHA received $3 billion in disaster recovery funding and by December 2016, $201 million of construction was underway. By December 2017, $1.85 billion in contracts were awarded, and construction was underway at 27 developments. Construction at all Sandy-impacted sites are expected to be completed by the end of 2021.

Tenant lawsuit
In February 2018, attorney Jim Walden filed a lawsuit on behalf of 400,000 NYCHA tenants living in squalid conditions. The suit demands that the court appoint an independent monitor to oversee NYCHA because the agency failed to provide tenants with heat and hot water, keep residents safe from lead, involve tenants in policy-making, and hire residents, as required under federal law. In April 2018, under intense pressure from the lawsuit, chairwoman Shola Olatoye resigned.

Federal lawsuit
On June 11, 2018, U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman filed a lawsuit accusing NYCHA of violating health and safety regulations, exposing children to lead paint, and training its workers to deceive inspectors under the oversight of chairwoman Shola Olatoye from 2012 to 2016. According to federal prosecutors, deceptions NYCHA workers used included shutting off buildings' water supplies during inspections to hide leaks and building false walls out of plywood to hide dilapidated rooms from inspectors. That day, NYCHA settled the lawsuit by admitting to the allegations, agreeing to spend an additional $1 billion over the next four years, and by agreeing to oversight by a federal monitor. In 2019, the federal government reached an agreement with the city to appoint a federal monitor and $2.2 billion spent by the city over the next decade on repair to avoid a federal takeover. In February 2019, federal officials chose Bart Schwartz as the NYCHA monitor.
