High percentage of whites in Kruger Park
There seems to be a very high percentage of whites in the Limpopo portion of the Kruger Park. Is this an artefact of tourists being in the park during the census, or something else? Even then, given the presence of black game rangers and support staff it seems slightly implausable, though not entirely unlikely. Park3r (talk) 03:46, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * that's actually an artefact of using wards as the unit of area for that map: the ward that covers that part of the KNP also includes a chunk of Phalaborwa town. Most of the population of the ward is in the town, of course. It's an example of the modifiable areal unit problem. I have been thinking about redoing that map [edit: that series of maps] to use regular hexagonal cells as in these examples. - htonl (talk) 11:42, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

I need help with editing
I see that you added an entry to the List of solved missing person cases, good job! I was wondering if you could help me add some entries to that list as well. I have my hands full with editing and really could use some help. I would also be VERY thankful to get some as doing all this editing by myself is a lot of work.

South Africa Metropolitan Road Markings
Hi, I saw that you have added most of South Africa’s road signs on all National, Regional as-well as Metropolitan signs for Johannesburg, Cape Town and other Metropolitan Road markings. I noticed that for Cape Towns Metropolitan routes, it stopes at the “M13 Sign”, I was wondering if you could finish them, or tell and teach me how you create them.

South African railway templates
I'm doing some cleanup work on RDTs and ran across five orphaned South African templates that you created:

 * Stellenbosch Loop route diagram
 * Ceres branch route diagram
 * Pretoria-Maputo route diagram

Are there articles these could be used in or were you planning on doing anything further with them? Thanks, Mackensen (talk) 12:04, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

 * I was once planning to write articles on them but not likely to get around to it any time soon. If you want to get them out of the Template namespace you're welcome to move them into my userspace. - htonl (talk) 12:11, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

South African MPs
Hi, Htonl. I trust all is well. Last night, I turned the last red link on Template:Current MPs of South Africa blue, now every single current* Member of the National Assembly of South Africa has a Wikipedia article. Now the reason, I am writing to you is because of this: List of National Assembly members of the 27th Parliament of South Africa. The list-article is outdated, incomplete and inaccurate. I want to know if it is possible to develop a script to transfer all of the Members' info (their names, parties, and the lists from which they are elected) and membership changes from these links (Parliament of South Africa and Parliamentary Monitoring Group) to the list-article. I would do it manually, but it would take weeks/months to create a table with 400 MPs, their info and membership changes. Can you help me? The last script you created to upload all of the election results from the municipal elections really helped a lot. Best, Lefcentreright  Discuss  10:30, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

 * It's definitely possible to set something up. What layout/format did you have in mind for the resulting article? htonl (talk) 11:42, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Thanks for responding. I really like the formats used in the List of members of the Riksdag, 2018–2022 and the List of members of the Legislative Assembly of Samoa (2021–2026). The List of members of the twenty-fourth Knesset has a really nice section detailing all the membership changes since the election. Lefcentreright  Discuss  13:26, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

 * I'm preparing the table but in working through it I came across Thokozani Langa which is an article about a maskandi musician. I think that the EFF MP of the same name is not the same person, though I am not 100% sure. Perhaps you could look into that - I am of course not going to write articles on MPs given my conflict of interest. - htonl (talk) 20:26, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The table is available for you to use in my sandbox. Let me know if you want anything changed about it. - htonl (talk) 21:46, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, there. I checked and found out that Thokozani Langa, the Maskandi singer, is not an EFF MP. I then created a page for the EFF MP found here: Thokozani Langa (politician). I then renamed Ponani Makhubele and Tammy Wessels. I really like both tables in your sandbox. Thank you. Lefcentreright  Discuss  22:54, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I have updated the links in the table. Will try to complete the "changes" table tomorrow. htonl (talk) 23:01, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The changes table is complete. I also added the two DA MPs recently appointed to fill vacancies, who weren't reflected on the April list but are mentioned in the Minutes which I have added to the references section. htonl (talk) 18:53, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Htonl! It looks amazing. I have copied/pasted it onto the main article. Lefcentreright  Discuss  21:30, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

Membership tables for the National Assembly of the 26th Parliament
Hi, Htonl. I trust you are well, despite the continuous loadshedding (It's off for more than 10 hours a day here in Paarl). Last year, you made excellent tables denoting the current composition and membership changes of the National Assembly of the 27th Parliament. Can you please do it for the National Assembly of the 26th Parliament as well? Here is a link from the Parliamentary Monitoring Group (As on 20 March 2019 LIST OF MEMBERS (alphabetical) 5 th Parliament) denoting all the members of the National Assembly of the 26th Parliament and more. Best,   Lefcentreright     Discuss    22:36, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Sure. I am thinking I will likely adopt a slightly different format though. For the 27th Parliament, being current, it makes sense for the main list to be a list of incumbent members. For a previous parliament I think it will make more sense to have a consolidated list of everyone who has been a member at some point during the term - showing the vacancy details where relevant. htonl (talk) 12:11, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I have started setting up the table in my sandbox. htonl (talk) 16:46, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, Htonl. I have looked at the table in your sandbox and it's exactly how I envisioned it would look like. Thank you for taking the time to create the table. I have set myself the goal of creating an article for every post-1994 MP by the end of 2024. Hopefully, it materialises!   Lefcentreright     Discuss    20:43, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello, Htonl. I trust all is well. I recently added membership tables for the List of National Assembly members of the 25th Parliament of South Africa. I used a different format than the one currently being in your sandbox. My concern is now for the 24th Parliament (2004–2009); there were two floor-crossing periods, in 2005 and 2007, and the archived page on the Parliamentary Monitoring Group is really difficult to figure out. For instance, how would I summarise the following in the membership table: "'Mr M Diko’s membership (UDM - National) was terminated wef 31 August 2005. His membership was restored by order of the High Court wef 15 September 2005. He left the UDM (UIF – floor‑crossing list 2005) on 15 September 2005 in terms of item 4(3)(a) of Schedule 6A to the Constitution and joined the United Independent Front. Passed away on 28 July 2006. Replaced by Ms Z A Ndlazi wef 15 August 2007. She left the UIF (ANC - floor‑crossing list 2007) on 12 September 2007 in terms of item 4(3)(a) of Schedule 6A to the Constitution and joined the ANC."

 * Is there perhaps a script that can be used to sort it out? Best,   Lefcentreright     Discuss    19:21, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Map of Bophuthatswana

 * Well spotted! Thank you. I have uploaded a new version of the map with those labels added. htonl (talk) 01:51, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * May I ask where you got the data for the borders of the former Bantustans? I’m trying to make a series of maps for my thesis and I’m having difficulty trying to track down any shapefiles or other data that I can verify well enough to be able to use in an academic context. SmallMossie (talk) 13:18, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * For the TBVC countries I actually digitized the borders at the time of nominal independence plus all the border changes from independence to 1994. I did this by reference to primary source documentation - treaties between RSA and the "independent" states, acts of Parliament and various proclamations - as well as official mapping from the Trig Survey Office. The data and source details can be found in this GitHub repository.
 * For the other, non-"independent" homelands (as for example in File:Bantustans in South Africa.svg) the best source I have is a shapefile which Aslam Parker of the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform shared on the OSGeo-Africa mailing list in 2012. Direct link to the file is here. htonl (talk) 14:10, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Htonl: Thank you very much! I will take a look at those links (especially the GitHub repo) over the weekend. I had come across the shapefile from the OSGeo mailing list before, but was unsure of the provenance. SmallMossie (talk) 15:05, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Metropolitan Municipality GeoJSON / Shapefile Request
Hi @Htonl! I'm glad I found your Wikipedia presence. I hope to get in touch with you this way! I'm working on a geospatial data science project, and I have noticed that building addresses are very hard to come by and construct. Fortunately, I have a number of house numbers and street names, but when it comes to placing these in cities or municipalities, it gets tricky. I saw that you uploaded the metro municipalities for regions in South Africa - such as here:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Maps_of_South_African_municipalities#/media/File:Map_of_the_Western_Cape_with_Cape_Town_highlighted_(2016).svg

Do you have the same Shapefiles / GeoJSON that I can use for my project?

Thanks! Frosty2042 (talk) 23:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Hi @Frosty2042. The municipal boundaries can be downloaded from the Municipal Demarcation Board's data portal here: https://dataportal-mdb-sa.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/27bbdd5b041b4ba6b5707dfed5aa3923_0/explore htonl (talk) 08:01, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi @Htonl thanks for the link - I'm confused about what's missing from the dataset, though. The table view says, "Showing 25 of 213 rows", but there should be 257 rows...
 * > South Africa has 257 metropolitan, district and local municipalities. This number comprises eight metropolitan, 44 district and 205 local municipalities.
 * https://www.gov.za/about-government/government-system/local-government#Municipalities
 * As I typed that out - I realized what the answer is! 205 + 8 = 213.
 * Local municipalities are inside of district municipalities. I think where my confusion came from was an understanding that metropolitan municipalities were not local municipalities, but maybe that's wrong? Frosty2042 (talk) 15:45, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Metropolitan municipalities aren't local municipalities, correct, but the way this is handled in the boundary data is that metros are included in both the "local municipality" dataset and the "district municipality", dataset because they occupy both levels in the hierarchy. So you've understood it correctly, the dataset I linked has 205 local + 8 metro municipalities. If you look at the district municipalities data on the same site it has 52 records - 44 district + 8 metro. htonl (talk) 16:26, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Longshot ask: Postal Address Database Request
Hey @Htonl, I figured this is a longshot ask from you, but I was wondering if you have any knowledge about either a postal address database, or a database that characterizes where buildings are with addresses and has data on if those buildings are residential, commercial, etc. If not that, do you happen to know about any shapefiles that describe how the land is zoned? In other words, do you know of any zoning feature servers?

If you don't happen to have this type of information on hand, do you know where I can look next?

Thanks! Frosty2042 (talk) 02:27, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

 * For addresses, the main open data source that I know of is the Stats SA dwelling frame. You can grab a version of this data from the link here.
 * Zoning is a local government competence so each municipality will maintain its own zoning data, and the accesibility of that data varies from place to place. I know where to find that data for Cape Town ( and ). If there is a dataset for the whole country it will be some commercial provider who has taken on the task of collecting 200+ sets of data from all the municipalities. htonl (talk) 09:16, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

The brewery was founded in 1840 by William Nicholson (1820–1916 ), son of successful businessman Robert Nicholson. The brewery was based in the centre of town with an extensive frontage on the High Street.

At their peak in the 1900s, Nicholson's possessed 150 tied pubs.

Courage purchase
Nicholson's was bought out by Courage, Barclay & Simonds in 1958, and the site was closed three years later. It was demolished in 1962. The Nicholson's Centre shopping complex now stands on the site, covering the 400 ft deep artesian well that provided the brewery with its water.

ADS-10 (Channel 10)
"Also on Tynte Street are the studios of Adelaide's NWS-9, the local Nine Network affiliate. Also on this grid are the studios of the local Network Ten affiliate, ADS-10." The latter half of this statement is no longer true as Channel 10 moved from their location in 2008, possibly 2007 and the site has been bulldozed with the exception of the heritage-listed building. Can this please be clarified. Ta Sem boy (talk) 00:49, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Wii pornography
What you said about the article was what I thought about first, but it was rewritten to reflect the impact of a video game system used for porn. In my opinion, the best thing to do without deleting it would be merging it into either the Internet Channel or Internet pornography articles. But if you really want it deleted, there's a process at Articles for deletion, which walks you through it. --07:07, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Adding of huge list of current MPs and personalities in cabinet
I wish to express my concern of the edits recently made by, my opinion is that per Wikipedia's policy of WP:NOTNEWS, the tables of existing appointments are not necessarily enduringly notable. While the leaders of the party would be notable - I disagree on the inclusion of entire list of current and former MPs. At this stage, the tables alone take up almost half the page and is against WP:INDISCRIMINATE's policy on lists. Would we need to keep piling on to the list of former MPs as they retire?

Up to you then. I got nothing to say anymore. Garfield 3185 (talk) 11:34, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

 * If you have a reason that this current batch of MPs are indeed notable for the page, please provide one, otherwise, they are not necessary for the page. I have tried my best to work with you, but you are refusing to engage in a constructive manner and simply accusing me of having a grudge against you whenever I bring up a point.

 * Why not work with me for once and provide your reasoning on why the list should be retained, rather than simply moving on to your next interest? How are these present batch of MPs notable, say, ten years from now, to the history of Singaporean politics? If so, do they deserve their own page? Seloloving (talk) 11:43, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

There should certainly be a reference in the introductory paragraph to Singapore’s quasi-authoritarian system of government.

Battle Axe culture

The Battle Axe culture, also called Boat Axe culture, is a Chalcolithic culture that flourished in the coastal areas of the south of the Scandinavian Peninsula and southwest Finland, from c. 2800 BC. It was an offshoot of the Corded Ware culture, and replaced the Funnelbeaker culture in southern Scandinavia, probably through a process of mass migration and population replacement. It is thought to have been responsible for spreading Indo-European languages and other elements of Indo-European culture to the region. It co-existed for a time with the hunter-gatherer Pitted Ware culture, which it eventually absorbed, developing into the Nordic Bronze Age. The Nordic Bronze Age has, in turn, been considered ancestral to the Germanic peoples.

Origins
The Battle Axe culture emerged in the south of the Scandinavian Peninsula about 2800 BC. It was an offshoot of the Corded Ware culture, which was itself largely an offshoot of the Yamnaya culture of the Pontic–Caspian steppe. Modern genetic studies show that its emergence was accompanied by large-scale migrations and genetic displacement. The Battle Axe culture initially absorbed the agricultural Funnelbeaker culture.

Distribution
The concentration of the Battle Axe culture was in Scania. Sites of the Battle Axe culture have been found throughout the coastal areas of southern Scandinavia and southwest Finland. The immediate coastline was, however, occupied by the Pitted Ware culture. By 2300 BC, the Battle Axe culture had absorbed the Pitted Ware culture.

Throughout its existence, the Battle Axe culture appears to have expanded into coastal Norway, accompanied by dramatic cultural changes. Einar Østmo reports sites of the Battle Axe culture inside the Norwegian Arctic Circle in the Lofoten, and as far north as the present city of Tromsø.

Successors
The Battle Axe culture ended around 2300 BC. It was eventually succeeded by the Nordic Bronze Age, which appears to be a fusion of elements from the Battle Axe culture and the Pitted Ware culture.

Burials
The Battle Axe culture is mostly known for its burials. Around 250 Battle Axe burials have been found in Sweden. They are quite different from those found in the Single Grave culture of Denmark.

In the Battle Axe culture, the deceased were usually placed in a single flat grave with no barrow. Graves were typically oriented north-south, with the body in a flexed position facing towards the east. Men were placed on their left sides, while women were placed on their right sides. As regards both objects and placement, the grave goods are quite standardized. Axes of flint are found in both male and female burials. Battle axes are placed with males close to the head. These battle axes appear to have been status symbols, and it is from them that the culture is named. About 3000 battle axes have been found, in sites distributed over all of Scandinavia, but they are sparse in Norrland and northern Norway. The polished flint axes of the Battle Axe culture and the Pitted Ware culture trace a common origin in southwest Scania and Denmark. Corded Ware ceramics were also common grave goods in Battle Axe burials. They were usually placed near the head or feet. Other grave goods include arrowheads, weapons of antler, amber beads, and polished flint axes and chisels. Faunal remains from burials include red deer, sheep, and goat.

A new aspect was given to the Battle Axe culture in 1993, when a death house in Turinge, in Södermanland was excavated. Along the once heavily timbered walls were found the remains of about twenty clay vessels, six work axes and a battle axe, which all came from the last period of the culture. There were also the cremated remains of at least six people. It is the earliest find of cremation in Scandinavia and it shows close contacts with Central Europe.

Settlements
Few settlements of the Battle Axe culture have been uncovered. Most of them are located inland, but some are located in coastal areas. Battle Axe culture settlements are, however, not located directly on the coastline, which was rather occupied by the Pitted Ware culture. Less than 100 settlements are known, and their remains are negligible as they are located on continually used farmland, and have consequently been plowed away.

Archaeological remains of southern Sweden reveal close spatial relations between houses and graves, indicating that farms were central to social and economic activity in the Battle Axe culture.

Pottery
Battle Axe pottery has been found frequently in Pitted Ware settlements. Some settlements even display fusions of the pottery styles of the Battle Axe culture and Pitted Ware culture. The relationship between the two cultures is controversial and not well understood.

Culture

The social system of the Battle Axe culture was markedly different than that of the Funnelbeaker culture, shown by the fact that the Funnelbeaker culture had collective megalithic graves, each containing numerous sacrifices, while the Battle Axe culture had individual graves, with a single sacrifice each. Individualism appears to have played a much more prominent part in the Battle Axe culture than among its predecessors.

Economy
The Battle Axe culture was based on the same agricultural practices as the previous Funnelbeaker culture. The Battle Axe culture appears to have emphasized cattle herding, which explains the apparent mobile nature of the culture. They also appear to have engaged in trade with populations to their north, exchanging animal products for material goods.

Einar Østmo emphasizes that the Atlantic and North Sea coastal regions of Scandinavia, and the circum-Baltic areas were united by a vigorous maritime economy, permitting a far wider geographical spread and a closer cultural unity than interior continental cultures could attain. He points to the number of widely-disseminated rock carvings assigned to the era, which display "thousands" of ships. To such seafaring cultures, the sea is a highway and not a divider.

Ethnicity
The Battle Axe culture is believed to have brought Indo-European languages and Indo-European culture to southern Scandinavia. The fusion of the Battle Axe culture with the native agricultural and hunter-gatherer cultures of the region spawned the Nordic Bronze Age, which is considered the ancestral civilization of the Germanic peoples.

Genetics
A genetic study published in Nature in June 2015 examined the remains of a Battle Axe male buried in Viby, Sweden ca. 2621–2472 BC. He was found to be a carrier of the paternal haplogroup R1a1a1 and the maternal haplogroup K1a2a. People of the Late Neolithic and Bronze Age cultures of Scandinavia were found to be very closely related people of the Corded Ware culture, Bell Beaker culture and Únětice culture, all of whom shared genetic affinity with the Yamnaya culture. The Sintashta culture and Andronovo culture of Central Asia also displayed close genetic relations to the Corded Ware culture.

A genetic study published in Nature Communications in January 2018 examined a male buried in Ölsund in northern Sweden ca. 2570–2140. Although buried without artifacts, he was found close to an archaeological site containing both hunter-gatherer and Corded Ware artifacts. He was found to be a carrier of the paternal haplogroup R1a1a1b and the maternal haplogroup U4c2a. He was found to be genetically similar to peoples of the Battle Axe culture, carrying a large amount of steppe-related ancestry. The paternal haplogroup R1a1a1b was also found to be the predominant lineage among Corded Ware and Bronze Age males of the eastern Baltic.

A genetic study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B examined the remains of 2 Battle Axe individuals buried in Bergsgraven in central Sweden. The male carried the paternal haplogroup R1a-Z283 and the maternal haplogroup U4c1a, while the female carried the maternal haplogroup N1a1a1a1. Haplogroup R1a is the most common paternal haplogroup among males from other cultures of the Corded Ware horizon, and has earlier been found among Eastern Hunter-Gatherers (EHGs). Interestingly, the Yamnaya culture is on the other hand dominated by the paternal haplogroup R1b. The two Battle Axe individuals examined were found to be closely related to peoples from other parts of the Corded Ware horizon. They were mostly of Western Steppe Herder (WSH) descent, although with slight Western Hunter-Gatherer (WHG) and Early European Farmer (EEF) admixture. The admixture appears to have occurred through mating of WSH males with EEF and WHG females. The ancestry of the Battle Axe individuals was markedly different from that of previous Neolithic populations, suggesting stratification among the cultural groups. WSH ancestry has not been detected among previous populations of the area. The results further underpinned the notion that the Battle Axe culture emerged as a result of migrations from southeast of the Baltic. The study also examined a female buried in a Funnelbeaker megalith in Öllsjö, Sweden c. 2860–2500 BC, during which the area was part of the Battle Axe culture. She carried the maternal haplogroup H6a1b3, and was found to be closely genetically related to other people of the Battle Axe culture. Two individuals buried in the same megalith during the Late Neolithic were likewise closely related to peoples of the Corded Ware culture.

Malmström et al. (2020) examined Pitted Ware culture individuals of Gotland. Several of their burials contained typical Battle Axe artifacts. However, none of these individuals harbored any admixture from the Battle Axe culture, suggesting that peoples of the two cultures interacted without interbreeding. Modern Northern Europeans were found to be still closely genetically related to people of the Battle Axe culture.

Sophia Dussek

Sophia Giustina Dussek (née Corri; later Moralt; 1 May 1775 in Edinburgh – c. 1831 in London) was a Scottish singer, pianist, harpist, and composer of Italian descent.

In 1792, Dussek married the composer Jan Ladislav Dussek. Following Jan's death in 1812, Sophia married the violist John Alvis Moralt. The couple lived in Paddington, where she founded a music school.

The opus 2 sonatas were published in at least 3 editions in the 1790s by the Corri-Dussek company in London as by Madame Dussek, and there is no reason to doubt that the 6 sonatas of opus 2, including the famous C minor sonata published and misattributed by Schott as by JL, are anything but the work of Sophia. Paris editions of opus 2 published by Pleyel only bear the name Dussek, leading Zabaleta to his misattribution, but nobody actually claimed opus 2 as the work of JL rather than Dussek before the mid-20th century.

Life and family
Sophia Dussek was born into the Corri family. She studied voice with her father, composer, music publisher, and impresario Domenico Corri. Her uncle was composer Natale Corri and her cousin was soprano Fanny Corri-Paltoni. Her father provided Sophia with vocal instruction and had her performing from a young age. She was well known as a soprano and composer of songs.

After moving to London in 1788, she studied with Luigi Marchesi and Giovanni Battista Cimador. Dussek was a highly accomplished performer and she had her London debut at the prestigious Salomon concerts in 1791 with Haydn directing from the harpsichord, and afterwards sang quite a bit of the series, taking part in the first performance of Haydn’s The Storm. In 1792, she sang the lead in the premiere of Harriet Wainwright's opera Comala.

She also played a big role in the introduction of Mozart's music to London. She was a soloist in the London premiere of the Requiem, given at John Ashley's Lenten Oratorios, Covent Garden, on 20 February 1801. In 1792 she married Jan Ladislav Dussek. She had been performing, singing and playing the piano and harp with him for some time before that. Their daughter, Olivia, was also a pianist, harpist, and composer.

In 1796, Sophia began having serious marital troubles with her husband. In an account of uncertain veracity, it was reported that Sophia, who had fallen in love with another man, asked Dussek for money to repair her harp. She then used the money to leave the house, removing her belongings in her harp case, and claiming to have left for dinner with a female friend. A suspicious Dussek went with his father-in-law to the man's house, where Sophia locked herself in. She and Dussek argued, and she cursed him, claiming to be pregnant by the other man. Dussek, relenting, promised her freedom to do what she wanted; this led to a reconciliation of sorts.

Sophia had to wait until she knew Dussek had died before she could remarry. After Jan Ladislav's death in 1812 Sophia married the viola player John Alvis Moralt. They lived in Paddington, where she established a music school. She published sonatas, rondos, variations, and numerous arrangements for the piano or harp.

The World Academy of Sciences

The World Academy of Sciences for the advancement of science in developing countries (TWAS) is a merit-based science academy established for developing countries, uniting more than 1,400 scientists in some 100 countries. Its principal aim is to promote scientific capacity and excellence for sustainable development in developing countries. It was formerly known as the Third World Academy of Sciences. Its headquarters is located on the premises of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy.

History
TWAS was founded in 1983 under the leadership of the Nobel Laureate Abdus Salam of Pakistan by a group of distinguished scientists who were determined to do something about the dismal state of scientific research in developing countries.

 * Although developing countries account for 80% of the world's population, only 28% of the world's scientists hail from these countries. This fact reflects the lack of innovative potential necessary to solve real-life problems affecting poor nations.
 * A chronic lack of funds for research often forces scientists in developing countries into intellectual isolation, jeopardizing their careers, their institutions and, ultimately, their nations.
 * Scientists in developing countries tend to be poorly paid and gain little respect for their work because the role that scientific research can play in development efforts is underestimated. This in turn leads to brain drain in favour of the North that further impoverishes the South.
 * Research institutions and universities in the South are under-funded, forcing scientists to work in difficult conditions and often with outdated equipment.

The founding members of TWAS therefore decided to set up an organization that would help to:
 * 1) Recognize, support and promote excellence in scientific research in the South;
 * 2) Provide promising scientists in the South with research facilities necessary for the advancement of their work;
 * 3) Facilitate contacts between individual scientists and institutions in the South;
 * 4) Encourage South–North cooperation between individuals and centres of scholarship;
 * 5) Promote scientific research on major developing countries problems.

Since its inception, TWAS's operational expenses have largely been covered by generous contributions of the Italian government; since 1991 UNESCO has been responsible for the administration of TWAS finance and staff on the basis of an agreement signed by the director general of UNESCO and the president of TWAS.

It was named "Third World Academy of Sciences" until 2004 and "TWAS, the academy of sciences for the developing world" before September 2012, when it was renamed to is current name, "The World Academy of Sciences for the advancement of science in developing countries".

Links
need to be careful taking out links that don't function as it may be that they just need to be directed to the german wiki pages by using the :de prefix — Preceding unsigned comment added by Groomer (talk • contribs) 03:48, August 18, 2005

Reason to link to German wiki
There's a reason why the pages are linked with wiki links: so that pages can interact with each other, and so people can acquire more knowledge. There's also a reason why people come to the English Wikipedia: to read the articles in English. In short: I think that it's strange to link to articles in the German Wikipedia on the English Wikipedia.

So is there a reason why nearly all wiki links in this article direct to the German articles, or could we just change them all to English? Ghent 16:05, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

The reason that so many of the links are to German wiki is that the article was originally in German and when I translated it I simply used the :de link. I doubt that many of the links have an english version - something for another day. Groomer 22:10, 30 May '07 (BST)

Too much German language
Why is the word "U-Bahn" always used in this article. You should replace it with subway or underground. Oli W 93 (talk) 20:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

London has the Underground, Paris has the Metro and New York has the Subway. Germany has the U-Bahn; it's the proper name. It's not wrong to translate it (and I'm all for translating where possible), but IMHO U-Bahn is certainly acceptable in this case.--Bermicourt (talk) 22:36, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

It also helps differentiate from the S-Bahn - both systems have under- and overground sections Lowattboy (talk) 08:35, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Good point, well made. --Bermicourt (talk) 15:31, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

More common in males or females contradiction
The article states in the introduction that the condition is more commonly developed in females, yet in the Epidemiology section the opposite is claimed. 83.57.117.145 (talk) 20:37, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Good catch.
 * The Epidemiology section's source is this StatPearls book chapter. In there, their source for the claim of male predominance is this 1996 comparative study of male volleyball players which, from my skim of that paper, gives no comment on prevalence in females. I'm not happy with that chain of sources for the claim.
 * That being said, the only instance of it saying it's more common in females has no source, so it was likely a typo/transcription error. I'm going to swap those. Hopefully someone can comment on whether we even have a good source for the claim of it being more prevalent in males.

 * I should have kept looking: The source for the claim in the intro about it affecting females more is this, which cites this for that claim. If you follow that to the results table and the conclusion, the editor who added that claim misread the results.
 * What the results show is that females are more likely to develop any (lower-extremity) tendinopathy. For patellar tendinopathy in particular, for that particular cohort, it was 50/50 male/female. And it was n=10, split 50/50, so it's not really meaningful. The entire review was on n=147 patient files for any lower-extremity tendinopathy.
 * So, the claim should stay removed.

History of copper currency in Sweden

The Swedish Empire had the greatest and most numerous copper mines in Europe as it entered into its pre-eminence in the early 17th century as an emerging Great Power. Through poor fiscal policies and the First Treaty of Älvsborg, Sweden lost control of its reserves of precious metals, primarily silver, of which most had left to the burgeoning trade economy of Amsterdam. In 1607 the Swedish King Charles IX attempted to persuade the populace to exchange their silver-based currency for a copper-based coin of equal face value, though this offer was not generally taken up. Sweden's large army at the time was paid entirely in copper currency, further issued in large numbers by Gustavus II to finance the war efforts against Ferdinand II of Germany during the Thirty Years' War. The face value of the circulating copper coins now greatly exceeded the reserves of the state and production of the national economy, so the value of the currency quickly fell to its commodity value. In a country where copper was so abundant, that number was very small, because of which the savings of the people of Sweden were wiped out.

When Gustavus' daughter and heir Christina reached maturity at 18, after a brief fling with paper-based money backed by copper—which was well received initially but soon lost credibility—she began issuing copper in plates as large as fifteen kilograms to serve as currency. Unwieldy as they were, the copper-based monetary system worked to a certain extent until the world copper price collapsed. Sweden's copper no longer commanded the premium it once had on world markets and foreign income dried up. Relative to the rest of Europe, the people of Sweden had become poor once more.

In an effort to shore up the economy, the government minister Baron von Görtz stepped up to the challenge and became the country's central banker. He issued more copper-based currency without limit, with a face value of one daler (much greater than their intrinsic value) which were technically inferior and easy to counterfeit. Soon these coins were so abundant that they too depreciated rapidly towards their raw metal value. This was caused by a belief spreading rapidly, saying that the copper coins would soon be unacceptable as a form of payment of taxes. Görtz was blamed for the failure, and was beheaded in March of 1719, a punishment which greatly pleased the Swedish people. At the end of July 1768 plate money was abolished, but reintroduced on 4 August.

Richard Blass

Richard Blass (24 October 1945 – 24 January 1975) was a Canadian gangster and a multiple murderer. Born in Montreal, he was nicknamed Le Chat, French for The Cat, because of his luck in evading death after surviving at least three assassination attempts and a police shootout, and escaping from custody twice.

Criminal career
Born in the Montreal neighbourhood of Rosemont, Blass would turn to amateur boxing as a way to channel his anger when he was a child. It was after a boxing fight that Blass committed one of his first known crimes, attacking fellow boxer Michel Gouin with a knife after losing a fight to him. Blass pleaded guilty to assault and spent one night in jail.

Over time Blass became more obsessed with the Mafia activity going on in New York City. As obsessed as he was with the Mafia, however, he was also known for his hatred of Mafia families: resenting the fact that the Italian Mafia had a stranglehold on Montreal's underworld business during the late 1960s, Blass was involved in violent feuds with many Mafiosi, particularly those related to Frank Cotroni and brothers Joe and Vincenzo Di Maulo. On 7 May 1968, Blass and Robert Allard ambushed Cotroni outside his home; two of his bodyguards were killed, but Cotroni escaped. He also worked as a hitman for the notorious West End Gang.

On 4 May 1968, the Cotroni family struck back by killing two of Blass's men, Gilles Bienvenue and Albert Ouimet, who were shot down by masked gunmen. On 7 May 1968, another Blass gang member, Roger Larue, was killed.

By then, Blass had a sizable number of members in his own gang. Blass and his gang became more violent, committing a number of murders against Italians, some of whom had nothing to do with crime. The first such killing took place on 27 May, when Giuseppe Collizza was killed with five shots to the head. One of the persons that Blass and his group killed, Francesco Grado, had connections to the Mafia. Grado was a loan shark for the Mafia. He was murdered with multiple gunshots.

On 24 August 1968, the first Mafia attempt against Blass's life took place, when two hired gunmen entered a bar where Blass was enjoying some drinks. Although shot at multiple times, Blass escaped unscathed.

Two weeks later, Blass was tracked by the Mafia to a motel named "Le Manoir de Plaisance" in a Montreal suburb. The motel was set on fire and three people died, but Blass escaped the blaze. Police investigation indicated arson as the fire's cause.

In October 1968, Blass was injured by bullet shots to the head and back after being ambushed, alongside partner Claude Ménard, inside a garage. the gunman was Joe Di Maulo. The two survived; Ménard drove the car they were in through the garage's door, though Blass required hospitalization for his wounds. He refused to identify his attackers, a fact which may have led him to earn respect among Canadian Mafia members.

In January 1969, Blass and his gang tried to commit a bank robbery, but the attempt failed, and Blass shot a policeman as he was fleeing from the financial institution. He was arrested and sentenced to four consecutive terms of ten years in jail. On 6 May 1969, Vincenzo Di Maulo killed one of Blass's associates.

On October 16 of that year, Blass became a fugitive for the first time, when he and other prisoners overpowered a jail guard and fled the van in which they were being transported to court. Blass was caught after an anonymous caller informed police that he was hiding in his wife's apartment.

Five years later in 1974, he perpetrated his second escape. An unidentified female friend of his smuggled in some firearms during a visit, and Blass broke the jail visitor's window. Armed with various types of guns and rifles, he and other men were able to escape.

Blass wanted to kill Raymond Laurin and Roger Lévesque, both of whom had participated in the 1969 bank robbery and testified against him. He found them both at a bar on 30 October 1974, and shot them dead. Convinced that he needed to kill all witnesses to the killings, Blass and gang partner Fernand Beaudet returned to the bar on 21 January 1975. They locked ten men and three women inside a bar locker before killing all of them.

Death
What followed that act was one of the largest manhunts in Canadian history. On 24 January 1975, police located the chalet in Val-David where Blass was hiding. At 1:30 AM EST, three officers, led by Albert Lisacek, broke the windows of the chalet door and entered. As Blass approached them, the officers opened fire, and Blass was hit by 27 bullets, dying within seconds. Police reports and testimony stated that Blass had shot first; however, in May 2012, Lisacek told journalist Warren Perley that Blass had been unarmed, and had only been 'wielding' a sock. He was entombed at the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery in Montreal.

Depictions
The 1992 film Requiem for a Handsome Bastard (Requiem pour un beau sans-coeur) is loosely based on Blass' career. The film centres around the last three days of a fictionalized, pseudonymous version of Blass. A book about Blass was published in 1983 by famous criminal lawyer Frank Shoofey, who previously represented him.
