Baratang Island

Baratang Island is an island of the Andaman Islands. It belongs to the North and Middle Andaman administrative district, part of the Indian union territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The island lies 150 km north of Port Blair.

History
Ranchiwalas Island is another name for Baratang Island. Towards the close of the nineteenth century, the city of Ranchi experienced political upheaval. Many locals sought refuge by converting to Christianity with the help of the missionaries there. The British, realizing the future prospects of the forests of Andaman and Nicobar islands, sent the converts to Baratang Island to cultivate crops. The laborers from Ranchi settled there and made new lives for themselves. A lighthouse was commissioned in 1985 at the eastern entrance to the Andaman strait.

Geography
The island belongs to the Great Andaman Chain, and with an area of 242.6 km2 it is one of the main islands of the group, a closely set archipelago in the Bay of Bengal, adjoining the Andaman Sea. Middle Andaman is to its north, and South Andaman to the south. Beaches, mangrove creeks, limestone caves, and mud volcanoes are some of the physical features. The islands of Ritchie's Archipelago lie 14 km to the east. Port Blair, the capital of the Indian Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, is located approximately 45 km from the southern tip of Baratang. Baratang contains the only known examples of mud volcanoes in India. These mud volcanoes have erupted sporadically, with recent eruptions in 2005 believed to have been associated with the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. The previous major eruption recorded was on 18 February 2003. The locals call this mud volcano jalki. There are other volcanoes in the area, the Barren Island volcano which is the only active volcano in South Asia, and the Narcondum volcano which has been classified as a dormant volcano by the Geological Survey of India.

Wikimedia fundraising drive surpasses goal
With the addition of over USD $30,000 from Wikimedia Deutschland, the Wikimedia fundraising drive surpassed its mammoth $200,000 goal, with four days to spare.

While a decline in donations was noticed over the past week, with relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina in the spotlight, donations still came pouring in from all over the world. Many donors left encouraging comments, like "[to] help on the quest to create the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and "This is probably one of the best things the internet has created."

The fundraising drive started on 19 August, and is scheduled to run through 9 September. The drive aims to pay for the significant server costs, which have risen dramatically recently.

Briefly

 * The Polish Wikipedia has reached 90,000 articles.
 * The Ido Wikipedia has reached 5,000 articles. The 5,000th article is on the number 5,000.
 * The Kannada Wikipedia has reached 1,000 articles.
 * The Vietnamese Wikipedia now has over 1,000 registered users.

Richmond Times-Dispatch dissects Wikipedia
A Richmond Times-Dispatch article ran on 3 September, highlighting the pros and cons of Wikipedia. It included a quote from Trlovejoy. The article is quite incorrect in a few spots, however, tending to make Wikipedia sound more like an Internet fad than a collaborative encyclopedia. It also states that the English language Wikipedia is the "U.S. version".

Thanks for the updates to the Te Papa article -- I have no arguments with what you've decided to do.

Master (American band)

Master is an American death metal band led by Paul Speckmann. Originally formed in Chicago, the band later relocated to Uherské Hradiště, Czechia.

History
The group was originally formed by Speckmann in 1983 as Death Strike, after the demise of his earlier band, Warcry. In 1985, Speckmann renamed the band Master and obtained a record deal with Combat Records. An album was recorded but was shelved due to issues with the label. The recording sessions for the album were released in 2003 by Displeased Records as Unreleased 1985 Album. In 1990, the band signed with the German label Nuclear Blast, which also had Speckmann's other group, Abomination, under contract. Master released their debut album, titled Master, in 1990. It was recorded with Chris Mittelbrun on guitars and Bill Schmidt on drums. Nuclear Blast did not approve of the album, however, and it was later re-recorded with Aaron Nickeas on drums and Jim Martinelli on guitars and released as Speckmann Project in 1991.

Master published On the Seventh Day God Created... Master in 1992, which featured Paul Masvidal on lead guitar. Collection of Souls was released in 1993, but Master did not re-sign with Nuclear Blast. The band went on hiatus, in search of a new record label. They released Faith Is in Season in 1998, through Pavement Music. Speckmann focused on several other projects, including the resurrected Abomination. In 1999, he joined Czech death metal band Krabathor and subsequently relocated to Czechia.

Master released Let's Start a War in 2002 on System Shock and followed with Spirit of the West in 2004. They then signed with German label Twilight Vertrieb and issued Four More Years of Terror in 2005. Five albums have been released since: Slaves to Society (2007), The Human Machine (2010), The New Elite (2012), The Witch Hunt (2013), An Epiphany of Hate (2016), and Vindictive Miscreant (2018).

Reek of Putrefaction

Reek of Putrefaction is the debut album by British extreme metal band Carcass. It was released by Earache Records in July 1988.

Background
When released, Reek of Putrefaction reached No. 6 on the UK Indie Chart, establishing Carcass as one of the pioneers of the grindcore genre. The late BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel declared it his favourite album of 1988, in an interview for British newspaper The Observer.

Guitarist/vocalist Bill Steer retrospectively said that "The first album wasn’t very focused, it was just about being fast and heavy…".

He went on to say that the band did not intend the muddy sound present throughout the album: "The first one obviously is a crazy accident. It’s got a small following but we did not intend to make that record the thing that people hear now. We had different ideas and we just couldn’t execute them. We were too young, too naïve, and inexperienced. From 'Symphonies' onwards, we got better at achieving the things we wanted to achieve in the studio."

Production
Reek of Putrefaction was recorded in four days at Rich Bitch Studios in Birmingham. According to guitarist Bill Steer, the studio's engineer "ruined" the record, especially its drum tracks. Carcass had only had a few hours available of mixing, so they had to release the LP as it was to meet the label's deadline. The band were "everything but happy" with the result, declared Steer.

When the master recording was first sent to the pressing plant, the original vinyl LP had to be pressed at lower volumes, because the bass frequencies were so low (sometimes reaching 25 Hz) that they were in danger of rendering higher frequencies inaudible.

Releases
Reek of Putrefaction was first released in 1988. The original album cover consisted of a collage of autopsy photographs collected from medical journals. Reek of Putrefaction was re-released in 1994 with a "clean" cover. In 2002, the album was reissued with a censored outer cover proclaiming "Original artwork contained inside".

The album was re-released in 2008 as part of an ongoing series of Carcass reissues to tie in with their reunion. The main album, along with the demo Flesh Ripping Sonic Torment, is presented as one side of a dualdisc, while the DVD side features the first part of an extended documentary titled The Pathologist's Report Part I: Incubation. Later editions contain the album on a CD and the documentary on a separate DVD. The album is presented in a 12-panel digipak with full lyrics and artwork and is sealed in a white medical bag with sticker, to hide the controversial cover art.

Personnel

 * Frenzied Fornicator of Fetid Fetishes and Sickening Grisly Fetes – bass, vocals
 * Gratuitously Brutal Asphyxiator of Ulcerated Pyoaxanthous Goitres – guitar, vocals
 * Grume Gargler and Eviscerator of Matured Neoplasm – drums, vocals
 * Sanjiv – lead vocals (tracks 23–35)

Umatilla Chemical Depot

The Umatilla Chemical Depot (UMCD), based in Umatilla, Oregon, was a U.S. Army installation in the United States that stored chemical weapons. The chemical weapons originally stored at the depot consisted of various live munitions and storage containers each holding 1 ST GB or VX nerve agents or HD blister agent. All munitions had been safely destroyed by 2011 and base closure operations were still ongoing as of 2022.

History
The Umatilla Chemical Depot opened in 1941, to prepare for World War II. The depot's mission was to store and maintain a variety of military items, from blankets to ammunition. The depot took on its chemical weapons storage mission in 1962 and stored 12% of the nation's stockpile. From 1990 to 1994, the facility reorganized in preparation for eventual closure, shipping all conventional ammunition and supplies to other installations.

Chemical Weapons Destruction Facility
The Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility is designed for the destruction of the chemical weapons stored at the Umatilla Chemical Depot. The facility was completed in 2001. The Army began weapons disposal on September 8, 2004, and completed disposal on October 25, 2011. Destruction is a requirement under the Chemical Weapons Convention and monitored by the OPCW. The facility destroyed 220,604 munitions and containers containing 3717 ST of GB, HD and VX via high-temperature incineration, representing 100 percent of the base's stockpile. While destroying 50% of its stockpile took six years (until August 2010), the processing of the second 50% was expected to take only two years. The process is simplified by having only 1 ST containers of HD remaining to be processed while multiple kinds of individual munitions containing several agents were destroyed early in the campaign. An emphasis on risk reduction prioritised destruction of the most modern and dangerous compounds (VX and GB) and destruction of smaller containers, which had greater risk of theft, explosion, and leakage.

Public participation and outreach
The Oregon Citizens' Advisory Commission, whose members include area residents appointed by the Governor, is a focal point for public participation in the Army's weapons storage and disposal program in Umatilla.

Closure and redevelopment
Dismantling of the chemical disposal facility began in August 2013, and the base was expected to be transferred for state and private use by early 2015. The timeline was pushed back by the Columbia Development Authority, first to 2016 and then to 2017 and into 2018, due to complications during cleanup. After the planned decommissioning and transfer of land in 2018, the Oregon Military Department plans to use part of the base for a training facility, while the rest becomes industrial land and a wildlife refuge.

In late-2011 49 of the 69 off-site sirens surrounding the depot were removed and have been repurposed as tsunami sirens along the Oregon coast. Tillamook County would receive 30 sirens but never use them while Clatsop County would receive 19 sirens with Cannon Beach installing several of the former sirens sirens to replace ones that had run their time.

Jimmy Boyle (artist)

James Boyle (born 17 May 1944) is a Scottish former gangster and convicted murderer who became a sculptor and novelist after his release from prison.

Imprisonment
In 1967, Boyle was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of another gangland figure, William "Babs" Rooney. He served fourteen years before his release in 1980. Boyle has always denied killing Rooney but has acknowledged having been a violent and sometimes ruthless moneylender from the Gorbals, one of the roughest and most deprived areas of Glasgow. During his incarceration in the special unit of Barlinnie Prison, Riddrie, he turned to art, with the help of the special unit's art therapist, Joyce Laing. He wrote an autobiography, A Sense of Freedom (1977), which was later turned into a film of the same name. In 1979, whilst still a prisoner at Barlinnie, he was commissioned to produce a memorial statue of poet William McGonagall. Various difficulties associated with the project meant that the work was never completed.

In 1980, while still in prison, Boyle married psychiatrist Sara Trevelyan. In 2017, Trevelyan wrote Freedom Found, a book about her twenty year marriage to Boyle. In an interview after her book's publication, she stated that she had never felt unsafe with him.

Life after release
Upon his release from prison on 26 October 1981, he moved to Edinburgh to continue his artistic career. He designed the largest concrete sculpture in Europe called "Gulliver" for the Craigmillar Festival Society in 1976. In 1983, Boyle set up the Gateway Exchange with Trevelyan and artist Evlynn Smith; a charitable organisation so he could keep in contact with ex prisoners as part of his life licence he wasn't allowed contact with so it was a front to circumnavigate the legal systom offering art therapy workshops to recovering drug addicts and ex-convicts. Though the project secured funding from private sources (including actor Sir Sean Connery, comedian Sir Billy Connolly and John Paul Getty) it lasted only a few years.

In 1994, his son James, a drug addict, was murdered in the Oatlands neighbourhood of Glasgow.

Boyle has published Pain of Confinement: Prison Diaries (1984), and a novel, Hero of the Underworld (1999). The latter was adapted for a French film, La Rage et le Rêve des Condamnés (The Anger and Dreams of the Condemned), and won the best documentary prize at the Fifa Montreal awards in 2002. He also wrote a novel, A Stolen Smile, which is about the theft of the Mona Lisa and how it ends up hidden on a Scottish housing scheme. It was rumoured that Disney bought the film rights, but Boyle has denied this.

In 1998, he was named as a financial donor of the Labour Party.

He divides his time between France and Morocco with his second wife, Kate Fenwick, a British actress. They married at a ceremony in Marrakech, Morocco on 27 October 2007.

Cultural impact
The character Nicky Dryden in the 1999 film The Debt Collector is reportedly loosely based on Boyle.

The punk band The Exploited released a song titled Jimmy Boyle in 1982.

Willem de Zwart

Wilhelmus "Willem" Hendrikus Petrus Johannes de Zwart (16 May 1862 – 11 December 1931) was a Dutch painter, engraver, and watercolorist with many connections to the Hague School and later associated with the Amsterdam Impressionism movement.

Biography
Willem de Zwart was born in The Hague on 16 May 1862, the eldest of eight children. His youngest brother, Pieter, would also become a painter. His father painted carriages for a living, and in 1875 the fourteen-year-old Willem was apprenticed to a carriage maker to learn the same trade. In his spare time, he copied prints he found in magazines, and a year later he enrolled in the evening class at the Royal Academy of Visual Art in The Hague. The following year, he was admitted at the studio of Jacob Maris. In the three years that he remained here, it is probable that he got to know many of the leading lights of the Hague School. Maris also sent De Zwart on a journey to the coast, without drawing materials, and had him work out his impressions directly on canvas when he returned to the studio.

De Zwart made several copies of works by 16th and 17th century masters in the Mauritshuis. He was most interested in the works of Johannes Vermeer, Paulus Potter, and Rembrandt, but studied paintings by German and Italian masters, as well. Sometimes he produced copies on commission. In this period, he also made detailed studies of animals, concentrating particularly on their legs, heads and snouts. De Zwart developed a fastidious painting style with a sober, predominantly brown palette.

Willem de Zwart lived and worked until 1894 in The Hague and from 1900 to 1905 in Amsterdam. His work has a wide range of subjects: landscapes, cityscapes, portraits and still life, rendered in a naturalistic or impressionist style. His work shows affinity with the people and city-oriented Amsterdam Impressionism. In his choice of subjects belonged to the Hague School and in his style and his exuberant use of color to the school of Amsterdam Impressionism. He is also known as the "Hague Breitner" because of the similarity of his work to that of George Hendrik Breitner. He painted his landscapes, figure paintings and still lifes with smooth, bold brushstrokes. De Zwart applied the paint thickly, sometimes straight from the tube, with bright colors, exuberant reds, yellows and blues, giving his paintings special vibrancy.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rogers Cadenhead

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS, which defaults to KEEP Paul August ☎ 01:55, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

Rogers Cadenhead
Was tagged as a vanity speedy: it is most likely a vanity article; the IP of the editor is the same as the subjects home (Jacksonville, FL) suggesting it was created by the subject or a friend or relative (info on ip location is from: ). and was said in another tag not to assert notability when the article states, he sits on the RSS Advisory Board, registered benedictxvi.com several weeks before the pope was named and also did some reporter work. If you take that together, I'd say calling this non-notable is a bit hasty. Keep, unless someone can prove the RSS Advisory Board doesn't exist or has no real importance in the computer world. - Mgm|(talk) 10:08, August 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmmmm. Marginal Delete. The RSS board is notable, and important as an organisation, but its members are not necessarily notable (and don't need to be). The books are not especially notable. Given that some Wikipedians have similar accomplishments, I'm not fully convinced he merits an entry.--inks 10:18, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep, author of popular books. The fact that some wikipedians may be accomplished is not a reason to deprive users of information. Kappa 10:21, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * However, it is not recommended that wikipedians author articles by themselves, which is surely the case with this article; it's still a vanity article. --Quasipalm 16:15, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It's not recommended but if they come up with a reasonably neutral and factual article it shouldn't be deleted just because of its source. If someone else had made it, would the article look so different? Kappa 18:02, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete - this is pretty non-notable stuff as far as I can tell. Writing a book itself does not mean the person should be included.  I looked up the books on Amazon and their sales rankings are #30,000 and #80,000.  The website isn't very notable and the RSS board may or may not be important enough to cary the article.  Mainly, I think this is an auto-biographical vanity page, only edited by a single author who's IP address comes from an ISP in Jacksonville, where the author and subject both live.  --Quasipalm 13:40, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Not as important as the author seems to think, but above the line of notability for me (author of a few non-vanity books.) Sdedeo 14:07, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Cadenhead is known for his RSS work, cruel.com and the Pope Benedict antic. Article could be beefed up, but he is a well-known web pundit and writer. Jessamyn
 * Keep; he's had some books published, and I have heard of him in numerous articles when Pope Benedict was announced for the website.  Ral  315  17:25, August 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Despite the author's admission that this is vanity, the subject is still notable. I reaffirm my keep vote.   Ral  315  22:01, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * This comes across as a self-promoting, vanity page. I appreciate the arguments iterated above, particularly the noteworthiness of the various projects, but the fact is that letting vanity pages stand withers the credibility of Wikipedia and mocks the efforts of those who contribute to it. If another editor wishes to create a page about this guy, I will vote to keep.  But since I accept the evidence that this is self-authored as convincing, I vote Delete on principle.Dottore So 17:31, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * isn't Jacksonville sort of big though? I agree that it's bad precedent if the guy authored it himself, but do we know that or just strongly assume it? If people think it's a keepable article except for the author, I'd happily do a rewrite of it, or re-create it, however this sort of thing usually works. Jessamyn 00:13, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as above. Trollderella 17:36, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per Sdedeo. Meelar (talk) 17:43, August 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep; Cadenhead is notable and the stuff in the article is interesting and relevant. It answers exactly the kinds of questions somebody would have who was looking up Cadenhead in the Wikipedia. betsythedevine 21:29, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Jachin 22:17, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. All the little stuff adds up to enough of notability.  Gamaliel 09:00, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notability is established within the article.  Hall Monitor 22:43, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak delete I'm probably notable enough for inclusion here by virtue of the RSS board, 21 computer books, and brief papal namespace infamy, but I did write my own Wikipedia biography as an experiment, and for reasons I detail today on my weblog, I am somewhat eager to see this vote end with my deletion. rcade, 31 August 2005
 * I knew it. ;-)  Don't feel bad, I don't think I deserve a wikipedia article either.  --Quasipalm 17:11, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * In light of this admission, can we resubmit to VfD and have it properly voted on as a vanity page? Much of the above misses the point. Dottore So 18:01, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment. I object to redoing this VfD. rcade seems to be confused as to the nature of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not about doing a clever blog post and then letting everyone else tidy up after it has suited your purpose. I am really very tired of this. We all knew it was a probably vanity when we voted the first time around. My evaluation of the article as a weak keep stands; the basic principle that article subjects do not dictate the terms of their inclusion should as well. Sdedeo 19:29, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment again. Reading rcade's blog post, it seems that he was acting in good faith both in creating and later voting delete on his article. However, my vote still stands and I still object to redoing the VfD; the community has looked at the article, found the subject notable, and that's all that needs to be said. Sdedeo 19:56, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I would like to echo the sentiments of Sdedeo. My vote is based upon the merits of the article, not who created it.  Hall Monitor 20:30, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. What Sdedeo and HallMonitor said. Being eager to have a wikipedia article about you has zero bearing on the question of whether or not there should be a wikipedia article about you. The point of Wikipedia is to let people find information about stuff that has some reasonable notability. betsythedevine 11:37, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

From Vanity_page Problems with vanity articles:

The most significant problem with vanity article is that they often discuss subjects that are not well-enough known for there to be multiple editors. Additionally, they are often "experimental" articles to which the author never returns. The quality of a Wikipedia article is often presumed to be proportional to the number of edits, so if an article is doomed to be a one-edit article, it should be deleted.

In some cases, Wikipedia users write articles about themselves when the more appropriate action would be to create a user page. In these cases, the article is normally moved into the User namespace rather than deleted.

Another danger is inherent in auto-biographical articles. Users might write articles pertaining to their own work. While the authors of such articles might not consider them "vanity" articles, they are in violation of the soft policy against writing articles on one's own accomplishments.
 * I don't think I saw this page when poking around Wikipedia to see if there was a prohibition against autobiography. That reference to a soft policy isn't as clear as it could be -- does that mean there's wiggle room and it's a matter of judgment? In any case, if Wikicities accepts my proposal for a non-famous biography wiki, it should make this particular editing issue easier to resolve. Moving a self-promotional or dubious biography to another wiki should be easier for contributors to accept than a deletion. rcade, 31 August 2005
 * WP:VAIN is a guideline, not a policy. Logically, if the information within an article can be verified and meets the qualifications set forth by WP:BIO, it should be kept regardless of how it began.  Multiple precedents exist which we can refer back to.  Votes for deletion/Richard Bozulich was recently closed with a unanimous vote of keep after the subject requested his article be deleted.  There are also precedents for the retention of autobiographical "vanity" articles, such as Jesse Liberty and Cyrus Farivar, although the latter discussion was somewhat contentious during the second go-round.  See also Jason Snell as well.  Hall Monitor 17:24, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Oosterscheldekering

The Oosterscheldekering ( English: Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier), between the islands Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland, is the largest of the Delta Works, a series of dams and storm surge barriers, designed to protect the Netherlands from flooding from the North Sea. The construction of the Delta Works was a response to the widespread damage and loss of life in the North Sea flood of 1953.

Surge barrier
The second longest dam in the Delta Works, after the 10.5-kilometre-long Oesterdam, the nine-kilometre-long Oosterscheldekering (kering meaning barrier) was initially designed, and partly built, as a closed dam, but after public protests, huge sluice-gate-type doors were installed in the remaining four kilometres. These doors are normally open, but can be closed under adverse weather conditions. In this way, the saltwater marine life behind the dam is preserved and fishing can continue, while the land behind the dam is safe from the water. Notable figures involved in the design of the Oosterscheldekering included Jan Agema, and from 1976 the design of the project was led by Frank Spaargaren.

On 4 October 1986, Queen Beatrix officially opened the dam for use by saying the well-known words: "De stormvloedkering is gesloten. De Deltawerken zijn voltooid. Zeeland is veilig." (The flood barrier is closed. The Delta Works are completed. Zeeland is safe.)

At the artificial island Neeltje-Jans, at one end of the barrier, a plaque is installed with the words: "Hier gaan over het tij, de maan, de wind en wij" ("Here the tide is ruled by the moon, the wind and us").

Construction
The Oosterscheldekering was the most difficult to build and most expensive part of the Delta works. Work on the dam took more than a decade. It was constructed by a consortium of contractors comprising Ballast Nedam, Boskalis Westminster, Baggermaatschappij Breejenhout, Hollandse Aanneming Maatschappij, Hollandse Beton Maatschappij, Van Oord-Utrecht, Stevin Baggeren, Stevin Beton en Waterbouw, Adriaan Volker Baggermaatschappij, Adriaan Volker Beton en Waterbouw and Aannemerscombinatie Zinkwerken. Construction started in April 1976 and was completed in June 1986. The road over the dam was ready for use in November 1987.

The road was opened by the former queen, Princess Juliana on 5 November 1987, exactly 457 years after the St Felix Day's flood of 1530, which had washed away a large chunk of Zeeland, upstream of the new barrier's position.

To facilitate the building, an artificial island, Neeltje-Jans, was created in the middle of the estuary. When the construction was finished, the island was rebuilt to be used as education centre for visitors and as a base for maintenance works.

The dam is based on 65 concrete pillars with 62 steel doors, each 42 metres wide. The parts were constructed in a dry dock. The area was flooded and a small fleet of special construction ships lifted the pillars and placed them in their final positions. Each pillar is between 35 and 38.75 metres high and weighs 18000 tonnes. The dam is designed to last more than 200 years.

The Oosterscheldekering is sometimes referred to as the eighth Wonder of the World. It has been declared one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Construction fleet
Four ships were custom designed and built for this project: The ships are named after various types of shellfish.
 * Mytilus, a ship equipped with various ground working tools, such as needles to make the seabed denser and more stable.
 * Cardium, a ship to transport and lay a special foil carpet on the seabed for the pillars to rest on.
 * Ostrea, a ship capable of lifting a concrete pillar from the dry dock and placing it accurately on a special foil on the seabed. The ship is 85 metres long and has a portal 50 metres high. The ship can only lift 10,000 tonnes, but as a large part of the pillar is underwater, it is not necessary for the ship to be able to lift the full 18,000 tonnes. This ship is considered the flagship of the construction fleet, mainly because of its larger size and power in comparison to the other ships.
 * Macoma, a ship that works closely with the Ostrea, cleaning the foil assisting in placing the pillars accurately in their final position.

Operation
The dam is manually operated but if human control fails, an electronic security system acts as a backup. A Dutch law regulates the conditions under which the dam is allowed to close. The water levels must be at least three meters above regular sea level before the doors can be completely shut. Each sluice gate is closed once a month for testing. Emergency procedures are tested on pre-scheduled dates. Once the test is passed, the shutters are quickly opened again to create a minimum amount of effect on tidal movements and the local marine ecosystem. It takes approximately one hour to close a door. The cost of operation is €17 million per year.

The full dam has been closed twenty-eight times since 1986, due to water levels exceeding or being predicted to exceed the three metres. The last time was on January 31 2022, because of Storm Corrie.

Tidal power generation
In 2015, five Tocardo T2 tidal turbines were installed on the barrier, mounted on a 50 m long frame supported by the road bridge, which could rotate to lift all of the turbines out the water simultaneously. The turbines were installed in the eighth sluice channel from the southern end of the barrier, and started generating electricity to the Dutch grid in 2016. The installation was reported to have cost around US$12.4 million, and was the largest tidal power project in the Netherlands. Each turbine was 5.26 m in diameter (87 m² swept area) and rated at 250 kW for a total power of 1.25 MW. The project was decommissioned after eight years of operation in 2023.

Hit Music

Hit Music was a weekly British chart newsletter; sister publication to Music Week. Hit Music existed for almost nine years, supplying the official UK music charts (as compiled by Gallup and later OCC/CIN). The founding editors were Graham Walker and Tony Brown. The first issue was published September 5, 1992 (chart date: September 12, 1992), the last issue was May 5, 2001 (no. 439).

History
Originally it ran parallel to Music Week′s other chart newsletter Charts Plus which was also edited by Graham Walker and Tony Brown and which had been established in May 1991, shortly after the demise of Record Mirror. Charts Plus featured the singles chart with positions 76 to 200, albums chart positions 76 to 200, plus several genre and format chart, details on every Top 75 new entry, radio playlists (later the E.R.A. Top 100 Airplay charts) and statistics. An annual subscription to Charts Plus cost £495.

In September 1992, Spotlight, publishers of Music Week, started Hit Music as a cheaper alternative. For only £110 Hit Music printed the singles chart (Top 75+25, i.e. with compressed positions 76 to 100), artist albums (Top 100), compilation albums (Top 50), rock chart and dance chart (Top 20s), US Top 10s, plus details on Top 75 new entries, chart statistics,  year-to-date charts (singles, albums, singles acts, album acts, Top 30s) listings of BPI awards, and national number ones.

From issue no. 36 (May 6, 1993) Hit Music printed the E.R.A. Top 100 Airplay charts, and from January 8, 1994 (issue no. 66) the Top 40 Network Chart (which was later called the Pepsi Chart).

In November 1994, Charts Plus ceased publication and from issue no. 111 (November 19, 1994) Hit Music printed the (uncompressed) Top 200 singles and Top 200 albums, Top 150 Artists Albums, and Top 50 Compilations. From issue no. 211 (November 2, 1996) the Artist Albums chart extended to a Top 200. Top 100 Airplay chart was dropped from issue 294 (June 20, 1998).

The last issue published was no. 439 (May 5, 2001). Hit Music folded, together with several other Music Week newsletters. This meant that there was no longer a published source for the Top 200 singles and Top 200 albums charts. However, by autumn 2001, a successor publication to Hit Music was founded, independent of Music Week, in order to publish the British Top 200 charts: ChartsPlus (not to be confused with the 1990s publication of the same name mentioned above). The ChartsPlus which was started in 2001 was renamed UKChartsPlus in 2010.

Talk:Albert S. Ruddy

IMDb content
A lot of what's in this article seems to come straight from the IMDb...is this a copyvio? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.255.32.12 (talk) 10:13, 29 August 2005

Edits by Brownie812
Hello, I am an intern for Albert S. Ruddy productions. The changes I made on this page we per direct instructions from Mr. Ruddy. We would like the changes we made to his filmography to remain on the page as some of the original information was incorrect. We are working on an early life section that will be more accurate as well, which we will be posting soon. If you have any questions as to the validity of this request please feel free to contact our offices at 3102717698.

Hello, I already wrote regarding Mr. Ruddy's filmography. If I try to edit the filmography will those edits stay up? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brownie812 (talk • contribs) 22:28, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Brownie812, you have a notice on your own talk page about your apparent conflict of interest. The content of biographical articles on Wikipedia is not guided by the wishes of the person who is the subject of the article, but by information published in independent reliable sources. Your use of the word "we" is also of concern, as a Wikipedia account should be used by only one person.
 * Any improvements to the accuracy of the article about Mr Ruddy would be appreciated, but would need to be supported by references to reliable published sources. If you have such sources please give details below, stating what information in the article you consider should be added or changed. Please bear in mind that Wikipedia, as an encyclopedia, aims to give neutrally-expressed factual information reflecting what has already been published. It should not be regarded as a vehicle for favourable (or adverse) publicity about any person or topic.
 * Finally, every film title shown as blue in the Filmography section links to the Wikipedia article about that film specifically. Detailed information does not need to be repeated in the Albert S. Ruddy article; referenced edits may be made to the articles about the films. I hope this clarifies the situation. Thank you Noyster (talk),  00:55, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Ma Prem Hasya (aka Francoise Ruddy)
Can we expand on his ex-wife, Francoise Ruddy who went on to become the personal secretary of Osho (a very important role)?

In late 2015, it was announced that he had acquired the rights to Rand's Atlas Shrugged and would be making a movie for worldwide release.[7]
Hi the caption on the photo of the referenced article discusses a mini-series not a film. What is best way to correct?

Talk:Reduced-gravity aircraft

Not an aircraft type.
The lead is misleading. It's not a type of aircraft at all it's just a particular use of an aircraft. Almost any aircraft is capable of zero-g trajectory flight. Roger (talk) 17:16, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

"On commercial flights offered by Zero Gravity Corporation, very few passengers (cite) experience motion discomfort. This is because the flight profile of 15 parabolas, versus NASA's 40–60 parabolas, is designed to help alleviate airsickness."

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabelflug — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8109:B00:4776:C8:F17F:6360:C6AB (talk) 09:01, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Is "parabolic" accurate?
Elementary physics courses tell us that falling objects follow a parabola. This is because most everyday falling objects don't transverse downrange for an appreciable difference between parallel gravity and real gravity. A vomit comet also don't travel very far along the "x-axis" in a particular dip. So a parabola is probably close enough.

But if we were being super accurate, would we be talking about ellipses instead of parabolas/ae? Or does Earth's whole "I'm not a single point in space but rather a body that occupies a bit of that space" make "parabolic" more accurate than "elliptical" at this altitude range? Sincerely asking, because I know parabolic models fall off with increasing altitude. Tom Something (talk) 08:01, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

I made and added the picture with parabolic and elliptic trajectories. If Earth isn't a symmetric sphere there'll be distortions, e.g. if there's sea, land and mountains. It really should be 'elliptic' unless we're on an escape trajectory with c3=0. Parabolas have nicer math, though. Darsie42 (talk) 14:01, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

 * I suspect that in the specific case here - an aircraft creating 'weightlessness' - the difference between the theoretical ellipse required and a parabola is insignificant in comparison to the limits to which an aircraft can realistically be flown. The diagram exaggerates the discrepancy greatly since the height of the climb/descent is far larger in relation to the radius of the Earth than is the case in reality. AndyTheGrump (talk) 14:22, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Elementary physics and math can be used to show that an object moving in a vacuum, solely under the influence of its own weight, follows a ballistic path that is parabolic. Reduced gravity aircraft don’t move in a vacuum - they move through the air and that air exerts considerable drag on the aircraft; even the effect of the drag isn’t uniform because it is partly counteracted by the thrust from the engines. Finally, reduced gravity aircraft aren’t free to follow a ballistic path - the aircraft is flown by an autopilot which manipulates the elevator in order to maintain, as closely as possible, a zero-G environment for a significant period of time. The result is that it is inaccurate to imagine that these aircraft follow a parabolic path. Dolphin ( t ) 14:43, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok, someone do the math, and tell us how much the discrepancy between elliptical and parabolic paths there would be, in the cases described in this article. AndyTheGrump (talk) 15:01, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Note also that NASA (who presumably understand the relevant physics), describe the flight paths as 'parabolas' on their own website. Evidently they don't consider nit-picking worthwhile. AndyTheGrump (talk) 15:12, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I've removed the 'ballistic trajectories' image, as grossly out of scale. Without secondary sources, we shouldn't be trying to contradict NASA etc over terminology for the sake of inconsequential nit-picking WP:OR. AndyTheGrump (talk) 21:08, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's true, In the case of parabolic flight the difference is insignificant. Well, I guess, I haven't calculated the difference. If it's <1 cm I'd say it's insignificant. Fun fact, the speed of light is infinite, for practical situations. Turn the light on and the room is lit instantly, practically. But the speed of light is not actually infinite. And 0 g flights are not parabolic, actually. They are also not elliptic, if we nitpick, because the plane doesn't follow the ideal path exactly and corrects for that all the time. Also Earth doesn't have perfectly spherical gravity. But the truth is closer to elliptic than to parabolic. Parabolic would be true if Earth was flat and accelerating up. Hey, it's ok to say Earth is flat, it's true, kinda. It's average curvature is flatter than an optical flat, which you could reasonably say is flat. But it's also ok to say it's round. So everybody calls them 'parabolic flights', even NASA, as you said below. It's ok, approximately. But elliptic is closer to the truth.
 * I made the image that way so you can see the deviation between parabola and ellipse clearly. It's not meant to suggest planes fly that high. I could have drawn a straight line from the center to the surface, that would better reflect this case, but it wouldn't convey what it should. I didn't even calculate and draw the ellipse exactly where it should be, just where it looked ok. It doesn't need to be 100% accurate to convey the meaning, like a drawing on the back of an envelope. By removing it you needlessly took away some information some people wonder about sometimes, like Tom Something. Darsie42 (talk) 22:29, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Chacarita Juniors

Club Atlético Chacarita Juniors (usually known simply as Chacarita) is an Argentine football club headquartered in Villa Crespo, Buenos Aires, while the stadium is located in Villa Maipú, General San Martín Partido of Greater Buenos Aires.

The squad currently plays in Primera Nacional, the second division of the Argentine football league system.

History
The club was founded on 1 May 1906, in an anarchist Library on the boundary between the Villa Crespo and Chacarita neighbourhoods. After a short period of institutional crisis, the club was re-opened in 1919.

The football squad promoted to Primera División in 1924, and continued playing at the top level after football became professional in 1931.

In 1940 Chacarita was relegated to the second division, but it lasted only one season. The team then moved to the General San Martín Partido in Greater Buenos Aires, next to the autonomous city of Buenos Aires.

In 1956 Chacarita was relegated to the second division again, and won that championship the following year returning to Primera División. After 10 consecutive years at the top level, Chacarita won its only first division title, the 1969 Metropolitano championship.

In the following years the team performed badly and was relegated all the way down to the 3rd division in 1980. In 1984 Chacarita came back to the first division, but because of hooliganism by some of its fans, the club was punished with a suspension for a month and a loss of 10 points; having missing those points, Chacarita could not avoid a new relegation to the second division.

After a long tenure in lower divisions (including the Primera C), Chacarita came back to the top division in 1999, where the team remained until 2004 Torneo Clausura, when it was relegated to the Primera B Nacional.

In the 2008–09 season the club finished 2nd, after a 1–0 victory against Platense, with a goal scored in the last seconds of the match. This victory secured Chacarita a return to Primera División after five years of being relegated.

At the end of 2011–12 season, Chacarita finished 20th and therefore the Funebreros had to play two matches against Nueva Chicago (winner of Primera B Metropolitana's Torneo Reducido) to avoid being relegated to the lower division. Nueva Chicago won the series (1–0 and 1–1) and Chacarita was subsequently relegated.

Kit evolution
(1) Used during the 1931 championship as a tribute to club's first jersey.

Nickname
The team got the nickname of Funebreros ("Undertakers") because its ground was near the La Chacarita Cemetery. The red color in its jersey (apart from black and white) is a reference to its socialist origins.

Stadium
Chacarita's stadium was reopened on 30 January 2011, after its closure for a total rebuilt (which consisted in replacing the old wood seats for the more modern cement structures, according to safety regulations) since May 2008. As part of the celebration for the reopening, the club organized a friendly match between Chacarita and Argentinos Juniors (which ended 0–0). For this special event only 13,260 seats were available. Once the remodelling is totally finished, the stadium will be able to host an attendance of 35,000.

The new stadium was erected in the same location where the old one was, in the Villa Maipú neighborhood, General San Martín Partido. The last game played by Chacarita before the remodelling had been on 21 October 2005, during a match for the Primera B Nacional championship. The rival was Tigre (which has a strong rivalry with Chacarita) and El Funebrero won 3–0.

2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol

2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol is the organic compound with the formula CF3CH2OH. Also known as TFE or trifluoroethyl alcohol, this colourless, water-miscible liquid has a smell reminiscent of ethanol. Due to the electronegativity of the trifluoromethyl group, this alcohol exhibits a stronger acidic character compared to ethanol.

Synthesis
Trifluoroethanol is produced industrially by hydrogenation or the hydride reduction of derivatives of trifluoroacetic acid, such as the esters or acyl chloride.

TFE can also be prepared by hydrogenolysis of compounds of generic formula CF3−CHOH−OR (where R is hydrogen or an alkyl group containing from one to eight carbon atoms), in the presence of a palladium containing catalyst deposited on activated charcoal. As a co-catalyst for this conversion tertiary aliphatic amines like triethylamine are commonly employed.

Properties
Trifluoroethanol is used as a specialized solvent in organic chemistry. Oxidations of sulfur compounds using hydrogen peroxide are effectively conducted in TFE.

It competitively inhibits alcohol dehydrogenase for example.

TFE forms complexes with Lewis bases such as THF or pyridine through hydrogen bonding, yielding 1:1 adducts. It is classified as a hard Lewis acid and its acceptor properties are discussed in the ECW model yielding EA = 2.07 and CA = 1.06.

TFE can be used in biochemical experiments to stabilize alpha helix. There are also stable beta sheets in TFE, suggesting that TFE stabilizes the secondary structure the sequence has a preference for.

Reactions
Oxidation of trifluoroethanol yields trifluoroacetic acid. It also serves as a source of the trifluoroethoxy group for various chemical reactions (Still-Gennari modification of HWE reaction).

2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl vinyl ether, an inhaled drug introduced clinically under the tradename Fluoromar, features a vinyl ether of trifluorethanol. This species was prepared by the reaction of trifluoroethanol with acetylene.

Safety
Trifluoroethanol is classified as toxic to blood, the reproductive system, bladder, brain, upper respiratory tract and eyes. Research has shown it to be a testicular toxicant in rats and dogs.

Cullybackey

Cullybackey or Cullybacky is a large village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It lies 3 miles north-west of Ballymena, on the banks of the River Main, and is part of Mid and East Antrim district. It had a population of 2,569 people in the 2011 Census.

History
Cullybackey was part of the ancient kingdom of Dál nAraidi. Evidence of ancient dwellers in the area have been found throughout the years, including the remains of Crannogs and Souterrains.

Christian Missionary Mackevet erected a monastery in the area. It is said that when Mackevet first approached the Irish Chieftain MacAfee about this matter the two began to argue over it and Mackevet, who was a large man raised his fist into the chieftains face and said "I'm a man of peace, but smell that MacAfee". This won him the argument and the monastery was built, supplying the area with a place of learning for many centuries afterwards.

In 1778 a Volunteers company was raised by John Dickey of Cullybackey House, They named themselves 'The Cullybackey Volunteers'.

In 1847, the village contained 235 residents and contained about 50 houses.

Notable people

 * Bruce Anstey, motorcycle racer
 * William Arthur, father of Chester A. Arthur, 21st President of the United States of America
 * Matilda Cullen Knowles, scientist, was born here in 1864.
 * Jessica Kurten, Olympic horse rider and representative of Ireland.
 * Neil 'Smutty' Robinson, a well-known motorcycle racer and British 250cc Championship winner, who was killed, aged 24, in 1986.
 * Steven Davis - Rangers and Northern Ireland Footballer.
 * Ella Young, Celtic poet, mythologist and Feminist activist was born here in 1867.

Places of interest

 * Arthur Cottage, the ancestral home of Chester A. Arthur, 21st President of the United States, from 1881 to 1885, is close to the village, on the B62 road from Ballymena. It is a restored 18th-century farmhouse with open flax-straw thatched roof. It is usually open to the public through the spring and summer months.
 * The old Methodist church on the banks of the river was opened in 1839 as the Original Secession Church. It later became the United Free Church of Scotland. When the United Free clergy withdrew from Ireland in 1923, the congregation became Methodists.
 * The Cuningham Memorial Presbyterian Church
 * Craigs Church of Ireland, which was designed by celebrated 19th-century architect Sir Charles Lanyon and built in 1840. Attached to the church is a very old graveyard which contains 'The Strangers Plot', where the poor of the parish where buried, including those who lost their lives in the parish during the Great Famine (Ireland)
 * Reformed Presbyterian Church (Covenanter)
 * Cullybackey Millennium Riverwalk
 * Galgorm Resort and Spa
 * Craigdun Castle, a 19th-century Scottish baronial castle that is set a mile outside the village. Believed to have been designed by Charles Lanyon, it was left to the NHS as a home for multiple sclerosis sufferers in the 1950s and continued in this role until the 1990s, when it was sold by the NHS. The current owners have extensively renovated the property and gardens, and in 2011 the house was a finalist in the BBC Northern Ireland House of the Year programme.

Kapsiki people

Kapsiki (Ka-Tsepkye) is a people living on both sides of the border between North Cameroon and Northeast Nigeria. They are called Kapsiki in Cameroon, and Kamwe (Higi) in Nigeria. Together they amount to about 120,000 people. Their language, Psekiye or Kamwe, consists of eleven dialects including Nkafa, Sina, Ghye, Humsi, Dakwa and Tilli and belongs to the Chadic language family.

In Cameroon, the Kapsiki live on a plateau in the Far North Province in the center of the Mandara Mountains. They are considered one of Cameroon's Kirdi (pagan) ethnic groups due to their resistance to Islamisation during the Fulani jihad of Modibo Adama and Hama Yaji.

In Nigeria, the Kamwe live on the slopes of the mountains and the western plain. The Kapsiki have been living in this area for five centuries, long before the great slave hunts of the 19th century, but by this isolated habitat they have been able to maintain themselves against the Fulbe. This also applies to the other peoples of Mandara region, such as the Mafa, Mofu, Podoko Guisiga, or Daba.

The mountain region has a kaleidoscope of local cultures. The Kapsiki live in villages of 2000-6000 people, and subsist on livestock farming, agriculture and - in the village of Rumsiki in particular - on tourism.

The Malima Project has been helping Kapsiki populations in Cameroon with educational projects aimed at primary schooling. The Malima Project has created a documentary and organized events to promote its educational activities in the area.

Sailor suit

A sailor suit is a uniform traditionally worn by enlisted seamen in a navy or other governmental sea services. It later developed into a popular clothing style for children, especially as dress clothes and school uniforms.

Origins and history
In the Royal Navy, the sailor suit, also called naval rig, is known as Number One dress and is worn by able rates and leading hands. It is primarily ceremonial, although it dates from the old working rig of Royal Navy sailors which has continuously evolved since its first introduction in 1857. Versions have been adopted by many navies from around the world.

The flap collar is perhaps the most recognizable item of the sailor suit. It is often considered lucky to touch a sailor's collar. The bell-bottomed trousers were designed so that they could be rolled up easily when scrubbing the decks.

As children's clothing
In 1846, the four-year-old Albert Edward, Prince of Wales was given a scaled-down version of the uniform worn by ratings on the Royal Yacht. He wore his miniature sailor suit during a cruise off the Channel Islands that September, delighting his mother and the public. Popular engravings, including the famous portrait done by Winterhalter, spread the idea, and by the 1870s the sailor suit had become a fashionable dress for both boys and girls in many countries. Some Western cartoon and comic characters use a sailor suit as their trademarks; examples include Popeye, Donald Duck, and Fiddler Pig. Sailor suits have been worn by the members of the Vienna Boys' Choir on their international tours.

A female version of the sailor suit, the sailor dress, was popularly known in early 20th century America as a Peter Thomson dress after a naval tailor with outlets in New York and Philadelphia.

Asian school uniforms
Many schools in some Asian countries, including Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan, North Korea, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand, have adopted sailor outfits as a school uniform.

Japan
Sailor suits are especially common in Japanese girls' schools, known as sailor fuku by the Japanese. They are so common that the image of the outfit has evolved to be strongly associated with youth and female adolescence in popular culture. As a result, sailor uniforms are seen very frequently in Japanese dramas, movies, anime, manga, music videos and concert performances of pop teen idol groups.

Philippines
Just like in Japan, sailor uniforms are also common in Philippine schools, particularly in high schools. Most public schools adopted the sailor uniform as the official uniform for the girls and some of them adopted with derivatives.

Bossiney

Bossiney (Boskyny, meaning Cyni's dwelling) is a village in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is north-east of the larger village of Tintagel which it adjoins: further north-east are the Rocky Valley and Trethevy. Until 1832 the village, with its neighbour Tintagel, returned two MPs as a Rotten Borough, for the Bossiney constituency. The beach of Bossiney Haven is located nearby.

Toponymy
Bossiney, which in Domesday Book was 'Botcinnii', has been explained in Cornish as: 'Bod-' ('dwelling') and 'Cini' (a man's name). The spelling varied in the past (Bossinney was at one time very common). Novelist John Galsworthy used 'Bosinney' as the surname of a character in the Forsyte Saga.

History
Bossiney was mentioned in Domesday Book as 'Botcinnii', a manor held by the Count of Mortain from St. Petroc's Church (i.e. Bodmin Monastery), the manor at this time including Trevena. From ca. 1552, two members were elected to the unreformed House of Commons by the burgesses of Bossiney and Trevena, until the Reform Act 1832 stripped it of its representation as a rotten borough. Bossiney was the Parliamentary seat of Francis Drake who in 1584 gave his election speech from Bossiney Mound. It was also the Parliamentary seat in 1584 of Sir Francis Bacon.

The mace and seal of the borough are still preserved and show the name of the borough as 'Tintaioel' (they are thought to be from the 16th century). Despite electing two MPs, the Borough of Bossiney in the 18th century was described as a very small place with scarcely twenty houses and those no better than cottages!

Places of interest
Bossiney lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). A nearby beach is known as Bossiney Haven.

Notable buildings include the Old Borough House, Bossiney Court (both houses are 17th century and later) and the Methodist chapel (1860). All these are listed Grade II. At the nearby crossroads stands Hendra Cross or Pentaly Cross (towards Trevillet): it has been moved from its former position due to road widening in 1959 ("about one and half miles north east of Bossiney, at Pentaly").

Willapark on the coast nearby was an Iron Age cliff castle and at Lye Rock the barque 'Iota' was wrecked in 1893 (see the Tintagel article). Willapark Manor stands in wooded grounds and is now an hotel; Jill Pool is the site of the former borough gaol.

To the east of Bossiney lie the remains of an earthen Norman fortification (Bossiney Castle), which were discovered during archaeological excavations during the 1840s. It is likely to have been a motte castle as there are no signs of a bailey. The castle is not mentioned in surviving contemporary documents, and it is uncertain when or by whom it was built. However, it was probably built in the late 11th or 12th century.

Inter-working function

The inter-working function (IWF) is a method for interfacing a wireless telecommunication network with the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The IWF converts the data transmitted over the air interface into a format suitable for the PSTN.

IWF contains both the hardware and software elements that provide the rate adaptation and protocol conversion between PSTN and the wireless network. Some systems require more IWF capability than others, depending on the network which is being connected. The IWF also incorporates a "modem bank", which may be used when, for example, the GSM data terminal equipment (DTE) exchanges data with a land DTE connected via analogue modem

The IWF provides the function to enable the GSM system to interface with the various forms of public and private data networks currently available. The basic features of the IWF are:
 * Data rate adaption
 * Protocol conversion

Grampound

Grampound (Ponsmeur) is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Grampound with Creed, in the Cornwall district, in the ceremonial county of Cornwall, England. It is at an ancient crossing point of the River Fal and today is on the A390 road 6 mi west of St Austell and 8 mi east of Truro. In 1961 the parish had a population of 412.

Formerly, part of Grampound was in the parish of Creed and part was in the parish of Probus. On 1 April 1983 the parish was abolished and merged with Creed to form "Grampound with Creed".

The name Grampound comes from the Norman French: grand (great), pont (bridge), referring to the bridge over the River Fal, with its spelling varying over the last 600 years following the name Ponsmur (Cornish) which was recorded in 1308. The population of Grampound with Creed was 654 in the 2011 census.

History
The area around Grampound was settled in prehistoric times, and in the early medieval period the parish of Creed and the manor of Tybesta were established here. Grampound grew after the Norman conquest as the main crossing place on the Fal, a focus for travellers and traders moving between west Cornwall and England. Thus Grampound became one of the most important towns in medieval Cornwall with a rich and vibrant history. A charter was granted by the Earl of Cornwall in 1332 and the town remained important until the 15th century. Thereafter it declined and John Norden refers to the inhabitants as "few and poore" in his account published in 1584.

It was formerly considered a town and the Grampound constituency elected two members to the Unreformed House of Commons from the reign of Edward VI until it was disfranchised in 1821, after a corruption scandal that led to the conviction and imprisonment of several men for bribery. MPs who represented the town include William Noye, John Hampden, Grey Cooper and Charles Wolfran Cornwall.

The seal of the borough of Grampound was "A bridge of two arches over a river, the dexter end in perspective showing the passage over at the sinister and a tree issuing from the base against the bridge on the centre an escutcheon of the arms of the family of Cornwall viz. Arg. a lion rampant Gu. within a bordure Sa."

Grampound also gives its name to Grampound Road which is 3 kilometres (2 mi) to the north west.

Government
Grampound is a ward, along with Creed, of Grampound with Creed Parish which is part of Cornwall Council unitary authority. The current county councillor is Bob Egerton (Independent). Before the formation of the unitary authority in 2009, Grampound was part of Restormel Borough Council.

Grampound is in the St Austell and Newquay constituency and the Member for Parliament is Noah Law. Notably in the past Grampound was a 'rotten borough' returning two members of parliament of its own until 1821.

Geography
Grampound lies in the valley of the River Fal north of Tregony. It is on the A390 road 10 kilometres (6 mi) west of St Austell and 13 kilometres (8 mi) east of Truro.

Grampound's linear layout is of Norman origin, with long thin burgage plots extending away from the main street, Fore Street (A390). Most of the village core is a Conservation Area, and there are many listed buildings on Fore Street.

Demography
The population of Grampound is a little less than that of Grampound with Creed which was 654 in the 2011 census.

Transport
The A390 runs through the centre of Grampound, in summer when the A30 is congested, the A390 is an alternative route. It is an issue for residents. Pavements in some parts of the village are narrow or non-existent. Traffic speed is an issue through the village. A bypass was considered in 1996, when a route north of the village was favoured, but the plans were rejected, partly due to local protests and partly because Grampound is not large enough to warrant a bypass.

A regular bus service runs to Truro, 8 mi to the west, and St Austell, 6 mi to the east.

Economy
There are a number of local businesses including Grampound Village Store, Tremethick Brewery, Tristan Hay Pine and Period furniture, Gould Cider and Perry and The Dolphin Inn.

Many people commute to work in the nearby centres of St Austell and Truro. There are a number of businesses run from home.

The tannery industry was important in the past in Grampound. The principal leather tannery, which closed in 2002, was owned by the Croggon family. It consists of several large buildings and surrounding fields on the southern side of the village. This area is being developed into 55 new homes and office space.

Culture and community
There is an annual carnival on the first Saturday in September which includes a procession along Fore Street (A390) which is closed temporarily. Markets are held in Grampound Hall twice a month on a Saturday. One of these markets is run by Transition Grampound and the other by the village hall committee.

The new village hall was opened in 2004 with National Lottery funding. This hall is also an arts venue and regularly hosts performances of drama, dance, and music. Notable past performances include the Norwegian percussionist Terje Isungset performing ice music in 2012. A local amateur dramatic group, The Grampound Players, has also performed in recent years.

The recreation ground is managed by a charity (Grampound with Creed War Memorial Recreation Ground and Public Hall ) in Grampound as a public space. It is host to the carnival each year and also to Grampound Football Club who won support from Sport England's Protecting Playing Fields Olympic legacy for it to be resurfaced.

Grampound Town Hall contains a small museum, the Grampound with Creed Heritage Centre, and hosts a photograph archive online. A plaque was installed in the town hall to recognise Grampound being named Calor Village of the Year for West England 2007/8.

Other landmarks in Grampound include the market cross.

Education
Grampound with Creed Primary School is supported by the Diocese of Truro. It has between 50 and 60 pupils. It is currently undergoing a change to become part of a Multi-Academy Trust. The primary school has recently been extended.

Religious sites
The Church of St Nun is the main religious site in Grampound. There is the nearby, older church of St Crida in Creed and they are both managed by the same parochial church council and part of the churches led by the Rector at Probus, Ladock, Grampound with Creed and St.Erme Parishes.

There were a number of chapels in Grampound which have since been converted into dwellings.

Sport
Grampound is home to Grampound Football Club and Grampound Bowling Club both of whom have facilities at the recreation ground.

Cornish wrestling
Cornish wrestling tournaments, for prizes, have been held in Grampound in the 1800s and 1900s, including at the Football Club.

Notable people
One of Grampound's most famous residents was John Hampden, a politician representing Grampound in 1621 who later, in 1642, was one of the Five Members whose attempted unconstitutional arrest by King Charles I in the House of Commons of England in 1642 sparked the Civil War. Other parliamentarians include William Noy, noted British jurist and MP for Grampound 1603–1614, Charles Wolfran Cornwall, MP for Grampound 1768–1774, and Grey Cooper, MP for Grampound 1768–1774.

The Scottish sculptor Pilkington Jackson was born here.
