Cochecho River

The Cochecho River (incorrectly Cocheco River) is a tributary of the Piscataqua River, 38.3 mi long, in the U.S. state of New Hampshire. It rises in northern Strafford County and runs southeastward, through the town of Farmington and the cities of Rochester and Dover, where it provides hydroelectric power. Below the center of Dover, the river is tidal and joins the Salmon Falls River at the Maine border to form the Piscataqua. Significant tributaries include the Ela River, the Mad River, and the Isinglass River.

History of the name
Cochecho is an Abenaki word meaning "rapid foaming water," referring to Cochecho Falls in downtown Dover. Settlers adopted the name for both the river and principal settlement, the village of Cochecho. One of the oldest place names in New Hampshire, and the original name of Dover, Cochecho is at risk of extinction because of bureaucratic corruption.

In 1642, Richard Waldron was granted water privileges at Cochecho Falls, moving there from Dover Point to build a sawmill and gristmill. During the Industrial Revolution, these industries would be supplanted by cotton textile mills. In 1827, the Cocheco Manufacturing Company was founded, and its brick buildings would come to dominate the riverfront. But as historian Caroline Harwood Garland writes, "By an error of the engrossing clerk in the act of incorporation, the old Indian word, Cochecho, became Cocheco." As historian Alonzo Hall Quint laments: "The chief fault of the present Company is their barbarous spelling of 'Cocheco' instead of 'Cochecho,' for which no possible excuse exists."

In an 1851 essay written for the Dover Enquirer, Quint records the history of the Cochecho River's name:

It has been ill-treated in a most serious manner. Every person seems to have felt himself authorized to manage its orthography in any way he chose; hence all sorts of ways of spelling it have prevailed.

The first record in which we meet the name is in 1642, and in that the name is spelt CUTTCHECHOE, the pronunciation of which is evident. In 1648 it is spelt COCHCHECHOE and so pronounced for many years. In 1650 COCHECHAE is met with for once, and the pronunciation of this manner of spelling was that usually followed about 1670. In later times the pronunciation of the last syllable had reverted to the original form, that of the first and second remaining as it was so that Cochecho became the name; this is seen to be almost the exact original pronunciation and has been well settled for years. The spelling KECHEACHY was used occasionally a few years after 1700, but it never came into general use. The form QUOCHECHO is an unmitigated barbarism, so is COCHECO, although its unfortunate adoption by the Manufacturing Company of this place has given some credit to that form. The form COCHECHO is best supported by old examples and is at present generally adopted by all who know anything of its origin."

In 1909, Pacific Mills of Lawrence, Massachusetts bought the Cocheco Manufacturing Company and set about making changes, one of which was to end the disparity between the river's historic spelling and its brand. But instead of revising its name, it chose to revise the river's name, perhaps hoping to elevate its barbarism by having it recognized by the government. In 1911, the business manipulated the US Board on Geographic Names to transgress federal ethics and corrupt the name of the Cochecho River to the Cocheco River. The BGN recorded no justification for the change, suggesting that it was paid off.

Nevertheless, Dover's original name did not go away. Instead, the dual spellings began a semiotic conflict which continues to this day, with signs on Dover city bridges identifying the stream as the Cochecho River, while maps identify it as the Cocheco River. In 1937, the Cocheco Manufacturing Company folded, a casualty of the Great Depression. All that remains of the mill are its repurposed factory buildings, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and its brand name on the river. With the public confused about which spelling is correct, the form Cocheco spread to uses unrelated to the mill. For example, the defunct Cochecho Railroad is frequently misidentified as the Cocheco Railroad, and the Cochecho Massacre, a famous event in New Hampshire history, is occasionally abused.

Petition to correct the spelling

To end the confusion, the BGN received a formal proposal in 2015 to correct the Cochecho River's spelling by reversing its 1911 decision. The petition was supported by the Dover mayor, Dover City Council, the NH Department of Cultural Resources (which includes the NH Division of Historical Resources), and the NH Department of Resources and Economic Development. Support also came from the Dover Chamber of Commerce, which operates the Cochecho Arts Festival and promotes the Cochecho Waterfront Development.

But the Domestic Names Committee (DNC) of the BGN disregarded supporters and declined the petition. It also disregarded maps and records (including its own) which prove that until 1911 the river's name was Cochecho. Instead, it based its decision on misinformation which purported that Cochecho is no more correct than Cocheco.

Métis in Alberta

Alberta's Métis people are descendants of mixed First Nations/Indigenous peoples and White/European families. The Métis are considered an aboriginal group under Canada's Constitution Act, 1982. They are separate and distinct from First Nations, though they live in the same regions and have cultural similarities, and have different legal rights.

Different Métis groups attempted to combine the joint influences of the Manitoba Métis Federation, the Métis Nation of Alberta, and the Métis Nation Saskatchewan. This was done in hopes that Alberta's Métis would receive land and resource rights.

In Alberta, unlike in the rest of Canada, Métis people have certain lands reserved for them under the Métis Population Betterment Act of 1938, known today as the eight Métis settlements. These Métis settlements federated in 1975 to protect existing Métis settlement lands following the Alberta Government's dissolution, by order-in-council of four Métis settlements from 1950 to 1960. Following legal challenges by the Federation of Métis Settlements in 1975 for the loss of natural resource against Alberta, the Crown in Right of Alberta settled out of court and passed a suite of legislation that would see self-government, land, and money transferred to the newly formed government of the Métis Settlements General Council (MSGC), Canada’s only Métis self-government. The MSGC is the legislator of the Federation of Métis Settlements. The MSGC is the second largest land owner in the Province of Alberta.

Most people who self-identify as Métis in Alberta do not live in a Métis settlement. According to the 2016 census, 57.7% of self-reported Métis in Alberta lived in either Census Division No. 11 (which includes the Edmonton Metropolitan Region) or Census Division No. 6 (which includes the Calgary Metropolitan Region), with the majority of those residing in Edmonton. These Métis people are represented politically by one of three organizations – the Métis Nation of Alberta (founded in 1928), the Alberta Métis Federation (founded in 2020), or the Aboriginal Congress of Alberta Association.

History
Métis history in Alberta begins with the North American fur trade. The Métis developed as a people by the interactions of European fur trading agents and First Nations communities. From 1670 to 1821, Métis populations grew regionally, typically around fur-trading posts of the North-West Company and the Hudson's Bay Company. For example, Fort Edmonton spawned a large Métis population that was involved in an annual buffalo hunt for many years. These Métis helped to establish the nearby settlements of Lac Ste. Anne (1844), St. Albert (1861), Lac La Biche (1853), and St. Paul de Métis (1890). The Hudson's Bay Company's land claim in the west (called Rupert's Land) was sold to the newly formed Dominion of Canada with the passing of The British North America Act, 1867 (Canadas founding Constitution, 1867). The sale of the Hudson's Bay Company's territory in 1869/70 officially ended its legal monopoly on the fur trade (not enforced since the trial of Métis trapper Guillaume Sayer in 1849). The fur trade was an economic boom for the Métis as it opened the fur and buffalo meat trades to private Métis and non-Metis traders. However, it also exposed them to a flood of European and Canadian colonists seeking to profit and disenfranchise the Métis from their lands. Métis living closer to Canadian occupied territory such as the Red River Métis, today in parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, took up arms against the Canadian government in the two failed Riel Rebellions (or "Riel Resistances" in 1869 and 1885) in an attempt to assert their rights in the face of the newcomers. Following the rebellions, some Red River Métis fled northwest, married into the northwest Métis populations of northern Alberta (formerly known as the District of Athabaska in the North-West Territories) or assimilated into surrounding Euro-Canadian society. The end of these rebellions, combined with the collapse of the fur and buffalo meat industries, forced many Albertan Métis off their lands and reduced them to critical levels of poverty. On the whole, the Métis cultures and communities survived with farming, ranching, fishing, and industry replacing their traditional economy of fur trading as the main economic activity in the Parkland Belt, though trapping and hunting have remained very important in the Rocky Mountain and boreal forest regions. More urban Métis who live in close proximity to other cultural groups may have intermarried and assimilated into mainstream Euro-Albertan society to the point that their descendants no longer recognize themselves as Métis. However, in much of northern Alberta, the Métis in more remote rural and isolated communities have remained culturally distinct. Many of the contemporary Métis settlement population have retained their unique cultural heritage and history due to land grants provided by King George V by way of the Metis Population Betterment Act of 1938. This act gave back a certain amount of land to the Métis for their use. In 1990, the constitution would be the Alberta Amendment Act 3.

In the early 20th century, as a response to Métis dispossession and impoverishment following the collapse of the fur trade and marginalization of Métis by the newly dominate Canadian society, Métis political organization, dormant since the Riel Rebellions, was revived in the 1920s by a number of competing organizations such as the Half-Breed Association, the Métis Association, and the Half-breed Association of Northern Alberta. In 1932, a lasting and successful organization was founded following large half-breed gatherings in Frog Lake and Fishing Lake. These gatherings were organized by grassroots leaders such as Charles Delores and Dieudonne Collins. They called upon the expertise of a local enfranchised Indian named Joesepf Dion of the Kehewin Cree Nation, approximately 20 km from St. Paul Des Metis. The lasting organization would be known as "L'Association des Métis d'Alberta et les Territories du Nord-Ouest" by the Métis "famous five" – Malcolm Norris, Jim Brady, Peter Tomkins, Joseph Dion, and Felix Calliou. This organization would fight for the recognition and formal establishment of the Métis settlements. The famous five would go on to pressure the Government of Alberta on behalf of the Metis populations for a protected homeland. In response to the pressured lobbying, the Alberta legislature would call for a Royal Commission, entitled "The Ewing Commission", to investigate the conditions of the "Half-Breeds" (Métis) within the province. The Ewing Commission's (Ewing royal commission) final report called for a Métis land base and that it be provided by the provincial government under the Natural Resource Transfer Act, 1930.

In 1895, permanent settlements were erected. Ottawa had allowed the Oblate missionaries to enter into a 21-year lease under the Dominion Lands Act.

The result of the report was the creation of twelve Métis settlements in 1938 by way of the Métis Population Betterment Act. In the late 1950s, four of these settlements (Touchwood, Marlboro, Cold Lake, and Wolf Lake) were closed, requiring residents to relocate to the remaining eight settlements, all north of Edmonton. In 1938, the Peavine Metis Settlement encompassed 86245 ha of boreal forest. Due to being resettled so many times, the Métis on the Peavine Metis Settlement were not very connected to that land compared to their ancestors.

The Alberta Federation of Metis Settlements, now Metis Settlements of Alberta, was formed in 1975 as the umbrella organization to unite all eight settlement councils.

Different Métis groups attempted to combine the joint influences of the Manitoba Métis Federation, the Métis Nation of Alberta, and Métis Nation Saskatchewan. This was done in hope that the Métis of Alberta would receive land and resource rights.

In 1989, through decades of negotiations and meetings, the Alberta Federation of Metis Settlements and the Government of Alberta reached an agreement, the Alberta-Metis Settlements Accord, that involved the payment of $310 million to the Métis and the passage of four bills. The legislation consisted of the Metis Settlements Accord Implementation Act (Bill 33), the Metis Settlements Land Protection Act (Bill 34), the Metis Settlements Act (Bill 35), and the Constitution of Alberta Amendment Act 1990 (Bill 36). Through this legislation, title to a total of 1250000 acres of land was transferred to the Metis Settlements General Council (MSGC).

As of the 2006 Canadian census, Big Lakes County had the most Métis people per capita of any Canadian census subdivision with a population of 5,000 or more. This was due to the inclusion of the population of three Métis settlements within Big Lakes County's totals.

Recently, many other Métis people have moved to larger urban centres, becoming urban aboriginals. In 2006, a total of 27,740 persons living in the Edmonton census metropolitan area (CMA) identified as Métis, accounting for just over half (53%) of the region's Aboriginal population. Between 2001 and 2006, the Métis population in the Edmonton CMA grew by 32%. Despite their recent legal victories, Métis people in Alberta still faced higher rates of unemployment and disease and lower average incomes than their non-aboriginal neighbours as of 2006.

The exact population number of Métis people in Alberta is undetermined due to the details surrounding what qualifies a person to be considered "Métis". Usually, a Métis person is someone that descended from an Indigenous person and a Caucasian settler. However, there are a few different groups that consider themselves to be Métis including Indigenous peoples who are from Manitoba Red River Métis of the 1800s or all Indigenous peoples from Canada that are not recognized under the Indian Act.

The Mountain Métis
The Mountain Métis are a distinct Métis group who are descendants of Métis who lived in the Athabasca River valley near Jasper House in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta. In 1909 and 1910, a small group of families were evicted from Jasper National Park by the federal government to enable the creation of the park. They were compensated only for their improvements made to the land and not the land itself. Their descendants have fought since that time for compensation and recognition of their rights as an Aboriginal group. Their lobbying (along with non-Métis trappers and guides) was partly responsible the creation of the Willmore Wilderness Park in the 1950s, which they hoped would protect this hunting and trapping ground from oil and gas exploration. They have since come into conflict with some environmentalists and government officials who would prefer to exclude hunting and trapping from all parks in Alberta.

The Mountain Métis are represented by Grande Cache Metis Local 1994, a local affiliate of the Métis Nation of Alberta.

Politics
The Government of Canada has been in negotiations since with two Métis organizations, the Métis Nation of Alberta (MNA) since 2016 and the Métis Settlements General Council (MSGC) since 2017. The MSGC "is the political and administrative body for the collective interests of the eight Metis Settlements... the General Council has 44 members consisting of 40 elected members from the Settlements, and 4 elected Executive members." In June 2019, the Government of Canada signed a Métis Government Recognition and Self-Government Agreement with the Métis Nation of Alberta, by which Canada recognized that the Métis Nation within Alberta has an inherent right to self-government and mandated the MNA to implement this right on its behalf.

During the constitutional talks in the early 1980s, the MNAA was revived.

The mandate of the MNA is to:
 * be a representative voice on behalf of Métis people in Alberta;
 * provide Métis people an opportunity to participate in the government’s policy and decision making process; and
 * promote and facilitate the advancement of Métis people through the pursuit of self-reliance, self-determination, and self-management.

Overall, the MNA has evolved from an organization:
 * with a small membership to an organization whose membership exceeds 35,000 people spread across Alberta;
 * focused on community consultation and representation to an organization that is both a representative body and a program and service provider;
 * responsible for implementing specific projects to an organization responsible for providing ongoing programs and services; and
 * that simply reacted to government policy changes to an organization that is called upon to actively participate in the policy formulation process.

Expectations have been established for the MNA through the:
 * Alberta/MNA Framework Agreement process;
 * Federal/Provincial/MNA Tripartite Process Agreement process; and
 * Government of Alberta’s Aboriginal Policy Framework.

A steady rise has been observed in the number of Métis people in Alberta who have registered as members of the MNA. Métis people in Alberta are recognizing the benefits of MNA memberships and the importance of the MNA as an organization.

As well, the MNA has transitioned from solely a representative body to an organization responsible and accountable for the ongoing delivery of a variety of programs and services. The MNA continues to make strides as an organization and develops and implements a number of projects and initiatives (including Apeetogosan Development Inc., Métis Urban Housing Corporation of Alberta, and the Aboriginal Human Resource Development Agreement – Labour Market Unit.)

The MNA has responsibilities and expectations and becoming a more results-based organization. It has addressed issues relating to internal governance and has developed the administrative capacity to meet the expectations that are placed upon the MNA.

The MNA plays a role in the policy development process. Its elected officials and staff sit on committees responsible for an array of issues.

The Rupertsland Institute of Alberta is an affiliate to the Metis Nation of Alberta. Its mission is to enhance the individual self-sufficiency and the collective well-being of Metis people through education, training, and research.

Powley Case
The Powley Case, which wound through the various levels of Ontario courts starting in 1993, was a law-defining case that is recognized as the first time the issue of Métis rights were recognized under section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982. Steve Powley was scrutinized and almost punished for knowingly hunting without a license in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. When the case eventually made it to the Supreme Court of Canada, Powley's actions were confirmed as being protected by the Métis Aboriginal right to hunt, and the case was dismissed in 2003.

 * I did. It was discussed a while ago. What do you mean, in that manner? --172.198.40.82 06:56, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * See here --172.198.40.82 06:58, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * My apologies then. As you can see from most of my edits, I mainly try to look out for vandalism. But I'm sure you can understand my concern about an anon. editor making a change to that page.  Cheers! GinaDana 07:03, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. It's kinda been a bit confusing either way, we're still working on it... By the way, I did see your contribs, and you're a very good vandal fighter. Trust me, I've been around the Wiki-block a time or two. --172.198.40.82 07:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, I think finally understand the debate about the point: whether the vandalism is being reported by or reported about a real user, not a bot, ja? Confusing wording indeed. Are you also a registered user? Cheers! GinaDana 07:09, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yep. And it saying user makes the anons think registered user, while others think it implies anyone who uses wikipedia... And so on and so forth. And nope, I'm not registered. --172.198.40.82 07:13, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * This is an English major's dream! :) You could perhaps say something like Vandalism reported by humans versus Vandalsim created by humans.  Less concise, but less ambiguous.  Do you not register as a form of protest? ;) GinaDana 07:27, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Pretty much, yeah. ;) --172.198.40.82 07:37, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Paradise Valley Community College

Paradise Valley Community College (PVCC) is a public community college in Phoenix, Arizona. A branch campus, PVCC at Black Mountain, opened in 1985, with classes temporarily held at Paradise Valley High School. Once construction was completed in 1987, classes were held at its current location in what was then the far northern section of Scottsdale, Arizona to serve this rapidly growing area. It provides greater access for the communities of Cave Creek and Carefree.

The college mascot is the puma and the colors are royal blue and white.

History
PVCC was founded by the Maricopa County Community College District as the Northeast Valley Education Center in 1985 with classes temporarily held at Paradise Valley High School. The district gave the college its present name and began campus construction in 1986. The campus was designed by Lescher & Mahoney. The permanent site was inaugurated on May 2, 1987. Since then, PVCC has expanded in both campus size and enrollment along with the development of the Phoenix area.

In 1989 PVCC began offering Chemistry courses. The college operated as an extension of Scottsdale Community College and gained independent accreditation in 1990. The first graduation official ceremony was held on May 10, 1991. In 1997 ground was broken for construction of the M-Building.

The campus also has a Learning Resource Center building which houses the library, computer labs, and tutoring center. Several art collections, such as the over 600 Western-themed pieces donated by faculty-emeritus member Dr. Warren Buxton in 1990, are on display near the college's library.

The PVCC Center for the Performing Arts, containing stage facilities for drama and music performances, opened in 2005.

In 2007 the L-Building was built to house classes for Nursing, Fire Science and EMT. The building was built using a modular construction system.

In 2007 PVCC acquired the adjacent George L. Campbell Branch Library. The building underwent a major renovation and opened in 2011 as the Q-Building which is home of the Mathematics Department.

A new building for the study of life sciences (anatomy, physiology, general biology, biotechnology, microbiology, marine biology and environmental biology programs) opened at the main campus in August 2009. It includes seven classrooms, six biology labs and two anatomy/physiology labs, one of which is a cadaver lab, plus lab support spaces and administrative offices.

In 2009 the Black Mountain satellite campus opened, which serves residents of near by Cave Creak and Carefree.

In 2011 The PVCC Library was renamed The Jo and Warren Buxton Library.

In 2012 a Heath Sciences building was added to the main campus.

The Kranitz Student Center re-opened in 2013 after a major renovation and expansion of the building.

Athletics
Athletics at PVCC is affiliated with the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). PVCC offers 12 intercollegiate athletics programs; men's & women's soccer, men's & women's cross country, baseball, softball, men's & women's indoor/outdoor track and field, men's & women's golf, and men's & women's tennis. PVCC athletics mascot is the Pumas.

The Pumas boast 12 NJCAA National Championships. Women's soccer - 2016, 2012, 2010 Men's cross country - 2022, 2011, 2008, 2004 Women's cross county - 2004, 2003, 2002, 1998, 1997

The Pumas are also extremely strong in the classroom. PVCC has been home to multiple NJCAA Academic Team of the Year awards and dozens of NJCAA Academic Award individuals.

Athletic facilities include: baseball and softball fields, track facility, soccer game field and soccer practice field, tennis courts, athletics training room and athletics offices. All athletics facilities are located toward the south side of campus.

Transportation
The college is a short distance west of State Route 51 and south of the Loop 101 interchange.

Valley Metro buses from routes 16 and 186 serve the campus. For many years, the campus was served by express route 500, but in 2003, this service was canceled and replaced with the RAPID service that departs from Bell Road and State Route 51 Park-and-Ride.

Answer from Subramanian
Namaskar, Savyasaachi!

I see your point. I´m thankful that you were there right after me to correct this misstep. To explain it sincerely, I´ve grown very used to respecting people´s ideas that concepts that I find to be utterly true are no more than a supposition; tolerance and ahimsa, I suppose. This time it was too much and I will watch out for this next time. Shanti.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:52, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Cannabis tea

Cannabis tea (also known as weed tea, pot tea, ganja tea or a cannabis decoction) is a cannabis-infused drink prepared by steeping various parts of the cannabis plant in hot or cold water. Cannabis tea is commonly recognized as an alternative form of preparation and consumption of the cannabis plant, more popularly known as marijuana, pot, or weed. This plant has long been recognized as an herbal medicine employed by health professionals worldwide to ease symptoms of disease, as well as a psychoactive drug used recreationally and in spiritual traditions. Though less commonly practiced than popular methods like smoking or consuming edibles, drinking cannabis tea can produce comparable physical and mental therapeutic effects. Such effects are largely attributed to the THC and CBD content of the tea, levels of which are drastically dependent on individual preparation techniques involving volume, amount of cannabis, and boiling time. Also in common with these administration forms of cannabis is the heating component performed before usage. Due to the rather uncommon nature of this particular practice of cannabis consumption in modern times (in contrast to historical use) as well as the legality of cannabis throughout the World, the research available on the composition of cannabis tea is limited and based broadly around what is known of cannabis as it exists botanically.

Composition
According to a 2007 study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, the composition of cannabis tea is affected by criteria including, but not limited to, the duration of time over which the cannabis is steeped, the volume of tea prepared, and the period of time for which the tea is stored before consumption. The study mentions the ways in which levels of THC and THCA impact variability of composition by changing the bioactivity of the beverage. Therefore, cannabis teas that include less bioactive cannabinoids, "based on HPLC peak area" will demonstrate varying compositions.

Preparation
According to a recent study on cannabinoid concentration and stability in preparations of cannabis oil and tea, a boiling period of fifteen minutes was found to be sufficient in order to reach the highest concentrations of cannabinoids in tea solutions. However, preparation of cannabis oil in the study was found to ensure a higher stability of cannabinoids than that which was found in preparation of cannabis tea.

To produce psychoactive effects, cannabis used in tea must first be decarboxylated. As with regular tea, spices are often added. Typically, the tea is allowed to simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Folk medicine
Cannabis tea was used for centuries in folk medicine as it was thought to be a treatment for rheumatism, cystitis, and various urinary diseases.

Legal status
Cannabis tea is controlled as a derivative of cannabis in most countries as is required of countries whose governments are party to the United Nations' Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. However, similar to the regulation surrounding alcohol content of kombucha, there are some forms of cannabis tea with cannabis levels considered to be highly undetectable. These variations of the drink do not contain the psychoactive cannabinoid known as THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) and, instead, contain the non-psychoactive cannabinoids cannabidiol (CBD) or cannabinol (CBN)—both of which tend to go undetected in cannabis use/intoxication drug tests. As such, the legal status of cannabis tea is largely dependent on its composition and preparation.

United States
Cannabis tea is scheduled at the federal level in the United States by nature of being a derivative of Cannabis sativa, and it is therefore illegal to possess, buy, and sell. Due to variances in statewide laws, and the reluctance of the federal government to overrule the states, however, the federal legislation has little impact on nationwide use, and is "generally applied only against persons who possess, cultivate, or distribute large quantities of cannabis". As such, regulation of recreational and/or medicinal growth and use on an individual level is not the responsibility of the federal government.

Colorado law
In Colorado, for medical purposes, cannabis tea is a "Medical Marijuana Infused Product" which is "a product infused with medical marijuana that is intended for use or consumption other than by smoking, including edible products, ointments, and tinctures. These products, when manufactured or sold by a licensed medical marijuana center or a medical marijuana-infused product manufacturer, shall not be considered a food or drug for the purposes of the "Colorado Food and Drug Act", part 4 of article 5 of title 25, C.R.S." Colorado currently stands as one of 33 states that have laws legalizing marijuana as of 2018.

Adverse effects
Although not as widely published as the beneficial, therapeutic effects of cannabis tea, adverse effects of consumption have been found to exist, in addition to known adverse effects of cannabis use in general. Based upon the findings of select studies, it appears as though such effects occur mainly as a result of unconventional methods or dosage used when interacting with the decoction.

Ancient childbirth
According to a short communication published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, based on the research of Zias et al. regarding cannabis use in ancient childbirth, cannabis is said to have been used to form a decoction with other specific medicinal herbs to terminate a pregnancy in its second to third month. The following is a list of plants used the specific decoction for the termination mentioned by the midwives interviewed for the study: "C. sativa L./Cannabaceae; Atropa baetica Wilk./Solanaceae; Nerium oleander L./Apocynaceae; Ruta montana L./Rutaceae; Peganum harmala L./Zygophyllaceae; Agave americana L./Amaryllidaceae and Urginea maritima L./Liliaceae)".

1928 NFL season

The 1928 NFL season was the ninth regular season of the National Football League. The league dropped to 10 teams as the Cleveland Bulldogs and the Duluth Eskimos both folded before the season, while the Rochester Jeffersons, after missing two seasons of play, also folded, and the Buffalo Bisons also had a year out from the league. The Detroit Wolverines were added as an expansion team.

The Providence Steam Rollers were named the NFL champions after finishing the season with the best record.

Teams
The league dropped to ten teams in 1928.

Championship race
After four weeks, the Chicago Bears and the Detroit Wolverines were both unbeaten. On October 21, the Packers beat the Bears, 16–6, leaving Detroit, at 2–0–0, at the top of the standings. On November 3, near Philadelphia, the Frankford Yellow Jackets (4–1–0) hosted Detroit (3–0–0), and beat them 25–7. The next day, Detroit (3–1–0) lost 0-7 at Providence (4–1–0), and the Yellow Jackets and the Steamrollers were tied for the lead at the end of Week Seven.

Frankford played a series against Pottsville in Week Eight, winning 19–0 at home, and 24–0 on the road, for a 7–1–1 record that put it in first place ahead of Providence. In Week Nine, on November 18, the Providence Steam Rollers (5–1–1) hosted the Frankford Yellow Jackets (7–1–2) in Rhode Island, in a regular season game that ultimately would determine which team would win the NFL championship. Providence's 6–0 win put the Steam Rollers in first place, and it didn't lose any of its last three games, finishing at 8–1–2, while Frankford finished second at 11–3–2. Had the Yellow Jackets beaten the Steamrollers, their records at season's end would have been 12–2–2 and 7–2–2, respectively. Providence was formally awarded the championship at the post-season meeting of the NFL owners.

I tried several times, but the Wikicommons (or whatever it is) notice box messes up the format no matter how hard I try. If you know how to fix it, GREAT, it belongs at the bottom of the page. Staxringold 18:21, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Update template
''I suggest a new template for articles that have outdated information or that need to be updated to current events, etc.. Is there already a template for this? Yodakii 17:12, 24 August 2005 (UTC)''

Great idea! That template exists. It is Update and currently looks like this:

-- Reinyday, 18:59, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

''Thanks for the template Reinyday! I was looking for such a template on Template messages but couldn't find it. Thats one page that needs updating ... Is there any another page with a list of templates that can be used on wikipedia? it seems they're not organised very well. Yodakii 05:10, 28 August 2005 (UTC)''

Yodakii, there are so many templates, it is certainly hard to find a good list. I often refer to Cleanup resources. You can also list all templates alphabetically. -- Reinyday, 03:05, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Bilad al-Sham
My understanding is that the two terms are different, with the Bilad al-Sham being somewhat smaller than the Levant and somewhat larger than Greater Syria. Though both the Levant article and Greater Syria article claim to be the same thing as the "Bilad al-Sham." In English the term "Bilad al-Sham" is almost exclusively used by historians who are refering to the region in the pre-colonial period. - SimonP 12:49, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

Timeline of the Muslim Occupation of the Iberian Peninsula
Many Thanks. Your edit reads much better than mine (I wish Wikipedia had a spelling checker). Yet, by removing parts of my text you might be hiding some outstanding information. (Threshold 10:51, 12 September 2005 (UTC))

 * Answering you remark on my talk page;

 * all in all, you are right. But, again, I introduced the word "presence' on purpose, just because the strong controversy on "ruling" versus "occupation" in the article. I understand that it introduces other issues in the discussion. So let us forget it by now.
 * On the other side, about the introduction of “piracy", that was, in fact, the main visible concern of Charles I, Philip II and Philip III in respect to the population (Though there were other political reasons for the expulsion, of course). By that time, the South Eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula, and most of the Western Mediterranean sea was under systematic and continuous attacks by North African pirates (actually corsairs servicing the Ottoman Empire), and it was one of the triggers for the Battle of Lepanto. For logistic reasons, since I am writing from memory, as I do not have my documentation at hand (recently moved from USA to Europe), I cannot provide any written source on this, but I will try. (Threshold 11:53, 13 September 2005 (UTC))

Your recent edit at Abu 'Abd Allah ash-Shafi'i
Hi,

You can solve bidirectional algorithm problems by embedding a literal LRM or RLM, but these can be tricky because they're invisible. Another way to do it would be to embed an HTML comment.

For instance: <!--B--> serves the same purpose as a left-to-right mark, and <!--ب--> should serve the same purpose as a right-to-left mark. Except they're visible rather than invisible, so they can't be accidentally deleted during editing. -- Curps 10:53, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I wrote a description at Village pump (technical) that could serve as the basis for a Wikipedia policy page.

 * Most of the time, you can add Arabic to an article page without any problem at all. Problems only happen in relatively rare cases, such as the Arabic string begins or ends with (or is enclosed by) a directionally-neutral character (like apostrophe or a numeral).  If the first non-blank character on either side of the Arabic text is a Latin letter (the usual case), then there's almost never a problem. I'll try to write all this down in a clear way and make a Wikipedia policy page out of it, time permitting. -- Curps 13:12, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Imam Hanbal
Hey, thanks for the support... I moved your vote down since I changed the request from "Ahmed" to "Ahmad" which is how Britannica has it and which is how I think I see most transliterations now (like Muhammad over Mohammed or whatnot). If you disagree it's not a big deal and I still like "Ahmed" better than what we have now. Do you think we should change all four of the main ones now? and if so what are the full names exactly? gren グレン 19:58, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay, well, you can move your vote from the 'e' section to the 'a' section.

 * just for the record... Britannica has:

 * Imam Malik as "Malik ibn Anas" -- full name "Abu 'abd Allah Malik Ibn Anas Ibn Al-harith Al-asbahi"
 * Imam Hanafi as "Abu Hanifah" -- full name "Abu Hanifah An-nu'man Ibn Thabit"

 * Not sure if that's what we should have... but, they see pretty decent to me. gren グレン 13:22, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Ottoman Empire
Thanks for your interest in the Ottoman Empire, page.--tommiks 15:09, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

I do understand from your {cleanup} tag, that you are highly involved into this topic, but please remember that there is a size limit on the pages, and the short paragraphs that you think very unsatisfactory are there for the shake of helping the other people to guide to the sub-pages. 600 years needs more than one paragraph right --tommiks 15:09, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm sure, you will be working on the sub-pages. Such as the one you mentioned, the structure of state that is not being satisfactory. If you do not have any objection, I will delete the {cleanup} tag, as if this form of short summary is satisfactory as long as the sub-pages (such as state) is developed more. We will change these short paragraphs to reflect the sub-page that you will develop. HOW about that --tommiks 15:09, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

I was hoping that you would add more into the topic, but even if you can spare a small time to fix couple problems, that would be nice. Most of the people who show real interest into these pages are turkish native speakers. Just being realistic, without an good details page these paragrafs are doomed to change. Also even though the empire dissolved nearly a century ago, you would be surprized how much hatered people have for it. That would be another reason your changes would not last long as without more detailed backing to those paragraphs there is no way to keep them as they are.--tommiks 15:29, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Fir e Fo  x  RFA

Thanks for your support on my request for adminship.

The final outcome was (96/2/0), so I am now an administrator. If you ever have any queries about my actions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Again, thanks! Fir e  Fo  x  18:58, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank you so much for your support of my RfA, I greatly appreciate it. And by the way, I haven't forgotten about the flag issue on the Palestinian page, I think it's worth replacing it with a composite of a number of Palestinian images (either famous faces or other) - maybe 4-5 pics in all. I hope I can find some legal pics to use. Thanks again! Ramallite (talk) 04:00, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you
Very much for your kind support of my adminship. I'll do my best to live up to your and my other supporters' expectations. If you have any comments or concerns on my actions as an administrator, please let me know. Thank you! — MC MasterChef :: Leave a tip — 14:44, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

non-Arab Middle East Christians
I think you should have a look at the doings of some anti-Arab Christian activists who designed a totally inaccurate and propagandist Syriacs box, mentioning Maronites and Melkites as ethnically "Syriacs", thus non-Arabs, which I proposed for deletion here. There are non-Arab Christians in the region, be they Armenians or Assyrians, but these fanatics include Arabized Christians in their anti-Arab dreams. Pylambert 23:07, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

記事作成の依頼
はじめまして、Hattoです. 俺は日本在住の日本人なのですが、アラビア語が解らないのでYodakiiさんにお願いがあります. Yodakiiさんがアラビア語を母語とし、英語や日本語も流暢に話せるということでぜひともアラビア語で記事の新規作成をお願いしたいのですがよろしいですか？日本の芸能人の記事です. --Hatto 15:43, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Translation request
Hello, I saw that you are a native speaker of Arabic, so I would like to ask you if you could take a look at 2003 invasion of Iraq and Iraq War. There is a featured article in Arabic which we would like to know how it could be used the English one which is of course dominated by people who have either been there as soldiers or have their knowledge from western media. Someone also asked if the section about "related propaganda and phrases" could be amplified with information about the Iraqi side. Maybe there are also people who took photos in Iraq at the Arabic version? Nameme 16:25, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Article on Al-
Hi. I wonder if you wouldn't mind taking a look at the article above, and expanding it further, or especially adding any sources appropriate for our English Wikipedia. I've already built it from a one-sentence stub using the sum total of my knowledge on the subject. Specifically, someone raised questions about the etymology of Semitic definite articles that I just couldn't answer. While the answer has now been provided by another editor, it and many other of the technical statements in the article need references to back them up. So I'm trying to recruit other Wikipedians with Arabic/linguistic expertise, such as yourself. Thanks very much! -Fsotrain09 17:21, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

USS Bennington Monument

The USS Bennington Monument is a 60 ft granite obelisk in the Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, Point Loma, San Diego, California, United States. It serves as a memorial to the crew of the USS Bennington (PG-4), a gunboat of the United States Navy, whose boiler exploded on the morning of 21 July 1905, in San Diego Bay. The explosion showered the vessel with live steam and scalding water, killing 66 men (1 officer and 65 other sailors) and burning an additional 46. It was the worst peacetime disaster for the U.S. Navy up to that time.

The dead were buried at Fort Rosecrans; some were later disinterred and shipped home for burial by their families. The monument at the site of the graves was dedicated three years later, on 7 January 1908.

YoungBloodZ

YoungBloodZ is an American Southern hip hop duo from Atlanta, Georgia composed of J-Bo and Sean Paul (later stylized as Sean P) formed in 1997. The duo were discovered by Kawan Prather and signed by his company Ghet-O-Vision, an imprint of LaFace Records to release their debut studio album, Against Da Grain (1999). Their second album, Drankin' Patnaz (2003) reached number five on the Billboard 200 and spawned the single "Damn!" (featuring Lil Jon), which peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. Their third album, Ev'rybody Know Me (2003) was their release by LaFace and Zomba. YoungBloodZ are one of many commercially successful Atlanta-based hip hop acts.

Career
J-Bo and Sean Paul met at Decatur's Miller Grove Middle School, where they started the Attic Crew with some friends.

Their debut album was Against Da Grain, released in 1999 on LaFace. The duo are best known for singles like "U-Way" (1999) and "85" (2000), which featured Big Boi. After a 3-year absence, they returned with Cadillac Pimpin' in 2003, scoring a moderate hit. The duo's sophomore effort featured Grammy-nominated single "Damn!", reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming their only top 10 hit. It was produced by Lil Jon.

YoungBloodz released Ev'rybody Know Me in 2005. It featured guest vocals from Young Buck and another Lil Jon-produced hit "Presidential" and production by Scott Storch. Their song "I'mma Shine" was featured in the 2006 film Step Up and on its soundtrack.

YoungBloodZ has made many appearances in a number of hit singles including Cherish's "Do It to It", Sammie's "You Should Be My Girl", both produced by Jazze Pha. Sean P appeared on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop number one song "Snap Yo Fingers" by Lil Jon featuring E-40. YoungBloodz have also been featured in songs with T.I., Nelly, Gucci Mane, Lil Scrappy, Twista, DJ Khaled and T-Pain. The group are working on a new album Back From the Liquor Sto, that is scheduled for release soon. The first official singles from the EP are entitled "Foolish" and "She Drank, She Smoke" both produced by Rawbeatzz.

Legal issues
YoungBloodZ were arrested on June 1, 2006, on drugs and weapons charges in Atlanta after a traffic stop involving a tour bus with an expired license plate. All charges were eventually dropped and subsequently the driver was charged. J-Bo and Sean P never had any trouble with the law before this arrest.

Fun with Dick and Jane (1977 film)

Fun with Dick and Jane is a 1977 American comedy film starring George Segal and Jane Fonda. Directed by Ted Kotcheff, the film is caustically critical of the "anarchy" of the American way of life.

The character names come from the Dick and Jane series of children's educational books, and the title is taken from the title of one of the books in the series.

Plot
Dick Harper is a successful aerospace engineer in Los Angeles, where he and wife Jane have a lovely house, with a swimming pool and new lawn under way. Jane takes care of their son, Billy.

Because of financial reversals at the business, however, Dick's boss, Charlie Blanchard, suddenly fires him. Dick and Jane owe more than $70,000 and abruptly find themselves with no income. Their attempts to find other gainful employment fail. Jane lands a fashion modeling appearance at a restaurant that becomes a fiasco. Dick ends up applying for unemployment and food stamps, while Jane's wealthy parents, rather than helping, advise them to use this experience positively as a life lesson.

Unable to come up with any other solution to their problems, Dick and Jane turn to a life of crime. They make an effort to select their victims judiciously—robbing the telephone company, for example, so making the customers in line cheer. In time, Dick and Jane weigh their guilty consciences against their needs, trying to get back their old lives and stay out of jail. They make the decision to "retire" from robbery. However, almost immediately they see Charlie Blanchard on television, testifying in front of a Congressional committee. After realizing that Charlie keeps two hundred thousand dollars in his office as a slush fund (used to pay off lawmakers), Dick and Jane decide to rob Charlie. At a gala at Dick's old firm, Dick and Jane break into Charlie's office, crack the safe, and steal the money. They leave his office and make it to the main floor of the building, but the building's security guards alert Charlie before the couple can leave. They are seen guarding all the exits. Dick admits to Charlie that he and Jane have stolen his money. However, they also explain that Jane has called the police about the theft. Knowing that the $200,000 might be confiscated by the authorities and lead to further unwanted investigations, Charlie tells the arriving police that no crime was committed and walks the couple safely out of the building.

A press release announces that Dick has been hired to be president of the firm, as Charlie has resigned.

Reception
The film was Columbia's third-highest-grossing film in the US in 1977 with rentals returned from the United States and Canada of $13.6 million.

The film received mixed reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 57% rating based on reviews from 14 critics.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave it 2.5 out of 4, and wrote: "This stuff is funny enough, but somehow it's too easy. It's situation comedy, when the movie's earlier moments seemed to be promising us a hard-boiled commentary..."

Remake
The film was remade in 2005 with the same title, starring Jim Carrey and Téa Leoni.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Penwith Crest.JPG
Thank you for uploading Image:Penwith Crest.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy.
