Talk:Dead or Alive (band)

needs clarification
"Dead or Alive was founded in 1980 in Liverpool by Burns, who was encouraged by local music promoters to gather a band together based on his outrageous appearance. In 1980, after several line-up changes since the start of the year, and just before they were to record a radio session for John Peel, Burns changed the name of the band to Dead or Alive"

This seems to say that Burns changed the name from Dead or Alive to... Dead or Alive...? Wtf? I don't know the history of the band, came here to find it. Did this editor mean to say that D or A was a new name for Nightmare in Wax (mentioned in the previous paragraph?)   Bustter (talk) 17:26, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

 * I think what it means is that he changed it from Nightmares in Wax to Dead or Alive. 47.214.9.131 (talk) 15:47, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Wrong info
"In January 2006 Pete appeared on British TV in Celebrity Big Brother. Following a live performance of "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" during the show, Dead Or Alive then went on to re-release the single the same month accompanied with an updated music video featuring original band members."

This video was made in 2003, before the appearance on Celebrity Big Brother, and was for the first re-release in 2003. Jamandell (d69) 15:51, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

The chart information stating the rerelease also hit #5 on the US singles and #1 on the dance charts has no verifiable source.Jude86 15:46, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Whoever is doing the chart information needs to recheck their US facts. "Turn Around and Count 2 Ten" did not chart in the US, much less hit #40. Jude86 05:51, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Regadring Trivia
The only thing Boy George and Pete Burns have incommon image wise is that they wear make-up... Pete's looks more angrogynous... Boy George's seems more "drag". - Deathrocker 11:37, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Pete's current look is the most feminine look he has donned yet. Nothing androgynous about it.Jude86 03:55, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

The Boy George comparison deserves mention here because it is referring to how the media originally cited Pete, which was an important aspect of the group's rise to fame. But maybe this needs to be made more clear. Also, the sales figures for Youthquake featured in this section (500,000) are contradictory to the sales designated in the discography section (4.2 million). Can someone please delete this or find the correct source. - User:Andiedottir 16:19, 06 October 2006 (GMT)

I think all references to this site should be removed. It is indecent and has no place here on Wikipedia (especially if minors are looking at this article).

 * Oh, come on!! Are you serious? Gonzakun
 * Just because it is indecent doesn't mean it shouldn't be featured. If that principle was applied across wikipedia we wouldn't have any articles about autofellatio, shock sites, or masturbation. Triumph's Hour 04:44, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I think the way it is currently reference is acceptable. I remember deleting a link in the past because the author had written it in such a way as to lure the reader into clicking on the link without realising the content. As long as the article clearly states that it is a shock site, I don't see a problem. NadaPlissken 21:19, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

If the site (and thus the use of the music on the site) is notable, why is the site not mentioned anywhere else in Wikipedia? If it's not notable, why is it in this article? I'm not referring to a rule here, I'm asking honestly. --76.105.213.205 (talk) 06:55, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * In the absence of anything to suggest the site is notable, it has been removed. It really isn't relevant. If it's used in films or television that might be worth noting, but someone putting on a website isn't.--Michig (talk) 07:16, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

They need to be sourced. Are they verifiable and real or just plucked out of some fan's imagination?

Band members
OK, three of the members are credited as being the main songwriter for the band. Which is correct - or did they all just contribute? Needs to be sorted out.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 12:36, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Continuous popularity?
"They are best known for their #1 UK hit single, "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)", and gained continuous popularity."

I like their (one) hit, but I'm pretty sure the general concensus is not that Dead or Alive has gained "continuous popularity".

As one-hit-wonders, it's true we'll never forget them, along with Dexy's Midnight Runners, Frankie Goes to Hollywood etc, but I'd like to see better phrasing.

Russella (talk) 01:15, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You're right, the wording needs changing, though a band that had 9 top 40 hits isn't a one-hit wonder (and neither were Dexys - 9 top 40 hits, nor Frankie - 13 top 40 hits and 3 number ones).--Michig (talk) 07:24, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Nightmares In Wax or Dead Or Alive?
I have corrected the text in this article to reflect the fact that the band founded in 1979 was called "Nightmares In Wax", and the name changed to Dead Or Alive in 1980. There were changes to the band's line-up in 1980 too, and more later, so it seems odd to infer that "Dead Or Alive" and "Nightmares In Wax" are one and the same. The article originally reflected the facts but was changed in January 2017 by user with I.P. address 2601:404:c802:7a60:fdce:8608:ec2a:ece1 - without explanation.

Dead or Alive (band) → Dead or Alive – swap pages. We currently have a confusing situation here where Dead or alive (sentence case) redirects to Wanted poster (which I'm not challenging) but Dead or Alive (title case) redirects to Dead or Alive (band) (which it shouldn't because that would be an unnecessary disambiguation) with a disambiguation page at Dead or Alive (disambiguation). There a two choices: move the disambiguation page to the base name, which I don't recommend because I see the band as a primary topic, or swap the band article with the redirect, which I'm proposing here. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 14:08, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Move Dead or Alive (disambiguation) to Dead or Alive. There are multiple major topics here: the wanted poster saying, the video game franchise, and (I guess) this English band?  (It wins on pageviews vs. the vg franchise, but that's with the redirect pointing directly to it at the moment, so I'm not sold it's more notable.)  I don't see a firm primary topic here among those 3 + the various other links on the DOA disambiguation page.  SnowFire (talk) 15:02, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose and move the dab page instead per SnowFire. I've reverted the change of redirect of Dead or Alive as that was done last month without any discussion. --Gonnym (talk) 15:04, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * That should not have been done in the middle of this discussion. It makes it much harder to follow. I've put it back pending the outcome here. Station1 (talk) 22:46, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I reverted it again. There was no consensus for the band being considered primary. That was just a recent undiscussed change. Making the talk page discussion easier to follow is not a good reason for keeping disputed content in mainspace. —BarrelProof (talk) 04:56, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Hillsboro Canal

The Hillsboro Canal is located in the southeastern portion of Florida within the South Florida Water Management District, and for much of its length forms the border between Broward and Palm Beach counties; however, its western end was entirely in Palm Beach County, until being recently annexed to Broward County-Parkland, FL. It begins at Lake Okeechobee at the S-2 water control structure in South Bay west of Belle Glade, Florida. It passes within the southern border of the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge and flows southeast from there along Loxahatchee Road in a rural, lightly populated area. When it reaches the more heavily built-up region further east, it bends to head due eastward, forming the county line. Near its eastern end at the Intracoastal Waterway, with Boca Raton to the north and Deerfield Beach to the south, it departs from its straight course to go around several curves, but the county boundary continues to follow it at this point. 10 miles of the canal is navigable, and it is popular for recreational boating and fishing.

Restoration of the Everglades efforts include treatment to remove elevated levels of nutrients. As a part of this restoration effort, Hillsboro Canal flow was diverted at the Loxahatchee Refuge in 2001 to a wetland stormwater treatment area, STA-2, which discharges into Water Conservation Area 2.

Chad Morton

Chad Akio Morton (born April 4, 1977) is an American football coach and former running back and kick/punt returner who is the running backs coach for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL). He previously served as the running backs coach for the Seattle Seahawks from 2017 to 2023.

Morton played college football for the USC and was selected in the fifth round of the 2000 NFL draft by the New Orleans Saints. After a standout rookie year with the Saints, Morton played five more years between stints with the New York Jets, the Washington Redskins, and the New York Giants.

Morton previously served as an assistant coach for the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers, where he was part of the coaching staff when the team won the Super Bowl in 2010.

Early life
Morton attended South High School in Torrance, California, where he was a letterman in football.

College
Morton was a running back at the University of Southern California in the late-1990s. A notable moment in Morton's college football career was in 1999, when he guaranteed a Trojans victory prior to a game against the UCLA who carried an eight-game winning streak against USC. Morton ran for 143 yards in a USC victory. In 2010, it was named by ESPN as the fourth biggest moment in the USC-UCLA football rivalry.

National Football League
Selected 166th overall (the fifth round) of the 2000 NFL draft by the New Orleans Saints, Morton became one of very few rookie running backs in Saints history to get significant playing time (16 games) and make an impact on offense and as a kick returner his first year in the pros. He contributed a career-best receiving year 213 yards on 30 catches (7.1 yards per reception), plus 136 yards rushing, and 1,029 yards from 44 kick returns to the Saints' successful, 10-6 NFC West title-winning 2000 season. Morton's postseason contributions were especially crucial to the 2000 Saints. Following the New Orleans Saints' first ever playoff win, they hosted the Minnesota Vikings for the divisional round game, and Morton set the record for most receptions in a single playoff game by a rookie while tying the playoff game record for most receptions by a player, with 13 in the ultimately losing effort against the Vikings.

Morton's career-best year at kick returner came with the 2002 New York Jets, as he earned .1,509 yards and two touchdowns (both TDs in a single game) returning kickoffs for Herman Edwards' Jets squad, which won the AFC East title that year and ran away with a blowout win in the first round of the playoffs before falling in the divisional round to the ultimate AFC Championship winners, the Raiders.

He was a first alternate to the 2005 Pro Bowl as a kick returner.

His last year playing football was 2006 with the New York Giants, as he suffered a career-ending ACL tear in Week 16 while covering a punt. On February 13, 2007, he was released by the Giants.

NFL records

 * Most kickoff return touchdowns in a single game: 2 (2002 vs Buffalo Bills) (tied with 9 others)
 * Longest overtime kickoff returned for a touchdown: 96 (2002 vs Buffalo Bills)
 * Most receptions in a playoff game by a rookie: 13 (2000)
 * Most receptions in a playoff game: 13 (2000) (tied with 3 others)

Green Bay Packers
In 2009, Morton was hired by the Green Bay Packers as their coaching administrator. In February 2010, Morton was promoted to assistant special teams coach. Morton assisted the Packers 2010 special teams units that ultimately won championship rings in Super Bowl XLV. With a coaching staff shakeup following the Packers' 2013 season, he left Green Bay.

Seattle Seahawks
In 2014, Morton was hired by the Seattle Seahawks as their assistant special teams coach under head coach Pete Carroll. In 2015, Morton was promoted to assistant running backs coach. In 2017, he was promoted to running backs coach. In 2022, Morton was promoted to run game coordinator and running backs coach.

Chicago Bears
On February 21, 2024, Morton was hired by the Chicago Bears as their running backs coach under head coach Matt Eberflus.

Personal life
Chad Morton is of mixed ethnicity, African American and Japanese. He is married to his wife Tamra and is the younger brother of Eric Morton, Dartmouth WR and wide receiver Johnnie Morton.

Lapping
Hi Gargoyle. I updated your description of lapping to describe equipment that is newer in technology than the piece you described. The addition of jig capability gives much more controlability over the amount (and speed) of material removed during a lapping process. I feel it is important to show readers that there are other variations of lapping machinery available and that the lapping process can be conducted in more than one method. If you feel strongly about keeping the existing image and descripton, why don't we have 2 desciptions available on the page, yours and mine? I am disappointed that you feel the need to revert the page back to a former state. Surely, the point of Wiki's is to update and add to content to keep it up to date?--User:DarrenSavery 21:49, 14 August 2006

Pakokku

Pakokku (ပခုက္ကူမြို့, ) is the largest city in the Magway Region of Myanmar. It is situated about 30 km northeast of Bagan on the Irrawaddy River. It is the administration seat of Pakokku Township, Pakokku District and Gangaw District. Pakokku Bridge is part of the India–Myanmar–Thailand Trilateral Highway and is the longest bridge in Myanmar. It is home of the Pakokku Airport.

The city is the location of Computer University, Pakokku, Pakokku Education College, Technological University, Pakokku, and Pakokku University. Thiho Shin Pagoda (The Lord of Sri Lanka Pagoda), Shwe Ku Pagoda, Shwe Mothtaw Pagoda, Shwe Tant Tit, and Phaung Taw Oo Pagoda are famous pagodas in Pakokku. Pakokku is also the largest rice market city of Upper Myanmar.

Name origin
According to legend, the name Pakokku originated during the reign of King Alaungsithu of Pagan. While traveling along the Irrawaddy River by royal barge, King Alaungsithu arrived at Pauk Inn Village. There, Me Sein Nyo, one of his concubines (some versions of the story describe her as a minor queen consort), saw a handsome fisherman and laughed loudly to get his attention. King Alaungsithu noticed this interaction and, in his anger, ordered her execution.

After her death, it was discovered that Me Sein Nyo was pregnant. The executioners separated the unborn child from her body and built a tomb and a small pagoda. The place where this occurred was initially called Tharhtokegu, which means "Child Out Cave". Over many centuries, the name evolved into Pakokku.

History
Before British occupation, Pakokku was a small village and part of both Pakhangyi and Bagan districts. The British occupied Upper Burma on 29 November 1885. On 1 December 1887, British India Government established Pakokku Municipal. On 21 December 1887, British India government ordered Pakokku as a town of Pakhangyi District with the population of 1,985. By the order degree (201) of British Government, Pakhangyi District was abolished and Pakokku District was established on 21 July 1888. In 1901, the population of Pakokku was 19,456. During 13 years, Pakokku's population and developments were increased rapidly.

In 1896, Pakokku became a capital city of Pakokku Hill Tracts Districts. The area under its administration included Pakokku District, Chin State outside Paletwa township, Gangaw District, Naga Self-Administered Zone, Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Meghalaya outside Shillong township. In the early months of 1930, political speeches for Burma's colonial separation from British India were held in Shwegu Pagoda. U Lwin was appointed a new mayor of Pakokku on 7 November 1930. Pakokku Municipal election was held on 10 December 1930. In the early morning of 22 March 1931, heavy fire burned in Pakokku and more than 3,000 people were homeless, so Pakokku Fire Brigade was established on 7 April 1931.

When Burma won independence in 1948, Pakokku Hill Tracts Districts was divided into two sections. Pakokku District, Gangaw District, Naga Self-Administered Zone and Chin State became parts of Burma and Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Meghalaya became a parts of India.

By the 1947 Constitution of the Union of Burma, Pakokku Province was established with two districts in 1948. They are Pakokku District and Kanpetlet District with 11 townships. Townships are Pakokku, Kanpetlet, Yesagyo, Pauk, Seikphyu, Myaing, Gangaw, Htilin, Saw, Mindat and Matupi. Pakokku was occupied by Communist rebels in 1949 and held until 1955, when it was liberated by government forces. In 1958, the name of Kanpetlet District was changed into Mindat District and Kanpetlet District's Capital was moved to Mindat from Kanpetlet. Province's Capital city was Pakokku.

On 2 March 1962, the military led by General Ne Win took control of Burma through a coup d'état, and the government has been under direct or indirect control by the military. A new constitution of the Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma was adopted in 1974.

By the 1974 Constitution, Pakokku Province was abolished and Pakokku District was added to the Magway Division and Mindat District was added to the Chin State. On 4 April 1998, Pakokku District was divided into two districts. Pakokku, Pauk, Yesagyo, Myaing and Seikphyu became Pakokku District and Gangaw, Saw and Htilin became Gangaw District.

ZAG-Arena

ZAG-Arena (formerly Preussag Arena and TUI Arena) is an arena in Hanover, Germany. The arena opened in 2000 and holds 10,767, during hockey or handball matches and up to 14,000, during concerts. It is the biggest indoor-venue in the Hanover Region and most major concerts are held there. The arena is situated at the Expo Plaza in the Expo 2000 grounds, in the south of Hanover, astride the Kronsberg and Mittelfeld areas.

Tenants
It was primarily used for ice hockey and was the home arena of the Hannover Scorpions. After the Scorpions sold their DEL-License to the Schwenninger Wild Wings in 2013, the license agreement for the arena wasn't renewed and the Scorpions left the arena permanently. Since then no tenant is using the arena on a regular basis.

The arena was used for the local derbies of the rival clubs Hannover Indians and Hannover Scorpions (now both playing in the third tier Oberliga-Nord) in 2013 and 2014 though. If these games are to be held there in the future is uncertain.

The handball club TSV Hannover-Burgdorf is also using the arena for games with high attendances at irregular intervals, for example in 2011 against Eintracht Hildesheim and 2013 against Frisch Auf Göppingen. In the 2016–17 Handball-Bundesliga season, the club played five matches in the arena, before playing up to 13 of their 17-season home matches in the arena from the 2017–18 season onwards.

The arena has been constantly struggling with financial problems since the day of opening and has been a money-losing business since then due to the lack of enough regular events. After the departure of the only permanent tenant, Hannover Scorpions, in 2013, the situation became even more critical for the owner Günter Papenburg, who is also the owner of the Scorpions. He is still trying to attract more events there to minimize his financial loss.

Events
Janet Jackson was scheduled to perform during her All for You Tour on 12 November 2001, but the show was cancelled because of the 11 September attacks. Scorpions performed a Classic-Concert with the Berlin Philharmonic on 1 June 2000 at the arena and, during her Get Your Sting and Blackout World Tour on 1 June 2010, a Rockshow. In the arena there is a Scorpions-Lounge with a variety of devotional of the band. Roger Waters played the venue during his "In The Flesh" World Tour on 22 May 2002.

On 5 May 2003, Irish vocal pop band Westlife held a concert for their Unbreakable Tour supporting their album Unbreakable – The Greatest Hits Volume 1.

Tina Turner performed there during her Tina!: 50th Anniversary Tour on 4 February 2009.

The Backstreet Boys performed there during their 2014 In a World Like This Tour.

Depeche Mode performed at the stadium on 3 November 2009 during their Tour of the Universe.

On 14 February 2013 the German national final for the Eurovision Song Contest, Unser Song für Malmö, took place there. The national final returned to the venue on 5 March 2015 as Unser Song für Österreich

In March 2017, Fury in the Slaughterhouse started their 30th Anniversary tour at the arena, playing three dates.

korruption? the conservative newspaper abc reported.

Yes, corruption. Tough situation, certainly. The "Guardia Civil", the Home Office (The case of GAL, plain state terrorism), Spanish Red Cross, The Official Bulletin of The State or the Bank of Spain were some of the affected institutions. Many politicians are still imprisoned for those scandals.

And how about mentioning the situation of the Spanish economy back in 1992? Near 10% of unemployment rate, 360,000 M€ of external debt...

Longest serving Prime Minister?
Wasn't Francisco Franco the Prime Minister of Spain from 1939 to 1973. I thought he was both head of state and government. The article says that Felipe Gonzalez was the longest serving prime minister but that wouldn't be so taking Franco's term into account.Abc85 22:01, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Franco wasn't a Prime Minister. He was only a dictator. That is certainly not the same. Eduarodi 07:13, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

He's the longest serving Prime Minister of democracy.

References?
This referencing in this article is exceptionally poor. Seven references for the whole page? There are numerous sentences throughout the document which make serious claims with absolutely no reference. Either someone needs to properly reference the article or it needs to be drastrically cut down to only those statements which can be properly referenced.

PostFinance Arena

The PostFinance-Arena (originally known as Eisstadion Allmend and Bern Arena) is an indoor arena in Bern, Switzerland. It is primarily used for ice hockey and is the home arena of SC Bern. It was opened in October 1967 and currently accommodates 17,031 people.

Construction
A characteristic of the PostFinance Arena is that it has the world's largest standing room grandstand within an arena, with a capacity of 10,422 bench seats. The main roof comprises glulam arches, tied by steel tension members at their springing points. The maximum span of these arches is 85 metres.

History
The PostFinance Arena was the main arena for the 2009 IIHF World Championships, and had already hosted the inaugural Victoria Cup the previous year. Likewise, in May 2016, the 2016 European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships were held at the arena.

PostFinance Arena holds a Europe-wide attendance record, having a 16,203 spectator average in the 2008/2009 season.

Renovation
Due to its age and with an eye towards the 2009 IIHF World Championships, the arena was renovated. The holder invested about CHF 100 million (~$100 million) into the extension and restoration of the building. The modification was finished by April 24, 2009, when the World Championships started. The interior of the arena is mostly unchanged, especially the steep standing room stand, which is very popular with the fans. However the VIP-zone was entirely rebuilt and the capacity there was extended by about 500. The total capacity is now 17,031 spectators.

Gewogs of Bhutan

A gewog (རྒེད་འོག geok, block), in the past also spelled as geog, is a group of villages in Bhutan. The head of a gewog is called a gup (རྒེད་པོ་ gepo). Gewogs form a geographic administrative unit below dzongkhag districts (and dungkhag subdistricts, where they exist), and above Dzongkhag Thromde class B and Yenlag Thromde municipalities. Dzongkhag Thromde class A municipalities have their own independent local government body.

Bhutan comprises 205 gewogs, which average 230 km2 in area. The gewogs in turn are divided into chewogs for elections and thromdes "municipalities" for administration. The Parliament of Bhutan passed legislation in 2002 and 2007 on the status, structure, and leadership of local governments, including gewogs. The most recent legislation by parliament regarding gewogs is the Local Government Act of Bhutan 2009. In July 2011, the government slated 11 gewogs across Bhutan for reorganization, including both mergers and bifurcations, to be debated in dzongkhag local governments. These changes are contemplated to promote ease of travel to gewog capitals and to equitably allocate development resources.

Gewog administration
Under the Local Government Act of 2009, zepa is head of geog each gewog is administered by a Gewog Tshogde (gewog council), subordinate to the Dzongkhag Tshogdu (district council). The Gewog Tshogde is composed of a Gup (headman), Mangmi (deputy), and between five and eight democratically elected Tshogpas from among villages or village groups. All representatives serve five-year terms, unless the local electorate petitions for an election (by a simple majority of the voting population) to vote no confidence in the local government (by at least two-thirds of the voting population). Representatives must be citizens between the ages of 25 and 65, be a resident of their constituency for at least one year, gain certification by the Election Commission, and otherwise qualify under Electoral Law.

While the Gewog Tshogde has powers to regulate resources, manage public health and safety, and levy taxes on land, grazing, cattle, entertainment, and utilities, the gewog administration and all other local governments are prohibited to pass laws. The gewog administration has jurisdiction over roads, buildings (including architecture), recreational areas, utilities, agriculture, and the formulation of local five-year development plans. The Gewog Tshogde also prepares, reports, and expends its own gewog's budget under the supervision and approval of the Minister of Finance.

History
Beginning in the late 1980s, the King of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuck pursued a long-term programme of decentralization. In 1991, following this principle, the King enacted the first Geog Yargay Tshogchung as a framework for local administration. Under the first Geog Yargay Tshochung, gewogs became official administrative units, each headed by a Gup or headman. The first-ever elections in Bhutan were held at that time, with a representative from each household voting to select their local Gup.

In 2002, the Parliament of Bhutan enacted a second, more comprehensive Chathrim (Act) also called the Geog Yargay Tshochung. Under the Geog Yargay Tshochung of 2002, gewog administration included the Gup, Mangmi (deputy), Tshogpa (village or village cluster representative), and the non-voting Chupon (village messenger) and Gewog Clerk. Gup and Mangmi sat for three-year terms while normal representatives sat for one year. The body had a two-thirds quorum requirement, and voted by simple majority. The Chathrim of 2002 empowered gewogs to levy rural taxes, maintain and regulate natural resources, and manage community and cultural life.

The Chathrim of 2002 was superseded by the Local Government Act of 2007, which expanded local bureaucracy and vested more powers in gewog administrators, including enforcement of driglam namzha. Under the Act of 2007, additional levels of local administration were carved out from gewogs, namely Dzongkhag Thromde Tshogdes and Gyelyong Thromde Tshogdus. The former were democratically elected bodies under direct dzongkhag management; the latter were democratic autonomous urban areas, or special cities, independent of dzongkhag management. Up through the enactment of the Local Government Act of 2009, gewogs were subdivided administratively into chiwogs, comprising several villages.

Since the Act of 2009, Dzongkhag Thromde Tshogdes, Gyelyong Thromde Tshogdus, and chiwogs have been replaced by thromdes (municipalities) as tertiary administrative divisions. Depending on the population and development of each thromde, it either has an independent bureaucracy ("Class A" Thromdes) or is directly administered by the gewog or dzongkhag ("Class B" and "Dzongkhag Yenlag" Thromdes).

Gewog changes since 2000
In 2002, there were 199 gewogs in Bhutan's 20 dzongkhags; by 2005, there were 205.

In Tsirang District, Chanautey, Gairigaun, Tshokhana, and Tsirang Dangra Gewogs were disestablished; in the meanwhile Barshong, Rangthangling, Tsholingkhar, and Tsirangtoe Gewogs were created. Likewise, in Sarpang District, Sarpangtar Gewog was disestablished. Chukha District no longer contains Bhulajhora Gewog, but now contains Sampheling Gewog. Samtse District no longer contains Ghumauney, Mayona, and Nainital Gewogs; it now contains Ugentse and Yoeseltse Gewogs. In Thimphu District, Bapbi Gewog disappeared. In Samdrup Jongkhar District, Bakuli and Hastinapur Gewogs disappeared, replaced by Dewathang, Langchenphu, Pemathang, Phuntshothang, Serthi, and Wangphu Gewogs. Trashiyangtse District saw the creation of three additional gewogs: Bumdeling, Khamdang, and Ramjar.

Since 2005, gewogs and dzongkhags have continued to evolve. On April 26, 2007, Lhamozingkha Dungkhag (subdistrict) was formally transferred from Sarpang Dzongkhag to Dagana Dzongkhag, affecting the town of Lhamozingkha and three constituent gewogs – Lhamoy Zingkha, Deorali and Nichula (Zinchula) – that formed the westernmost part of Sarpang and now form the southernmost part of Dagana.

Palangka Raya

Palangka Raya is the capital and largest city of the Indonesian province of Central Kalimantan. The city is situated between the Kahayan and the Sabangau rivers on the island of Borneo. As of the 2020 census, the city has a population of 293,500; the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 305,797 (comprising 154,205 males and 151,592 females). Palangka Raya is the largest city by land area in Indonesia (approximately four times the size of Jakarta); however, most of the area is forested (particularly in the northern districts of Rakumpit and Bukit Batu) including protected forests, nature conservation areas, and Tangkiling Forest.

The city is the center of economic, governance, and education of Central Kalimantan province. It is a relatively new city, founded from a small Dayak village of Pahandut in 1957. The city was planned from scratch and the construction was assisted by the Soviet military due to Sukarno's relation to Eastern Bloc at the time. Despite relatively developed infrastructure and high Human Development Index rating, the city suffers from environmental problems such as haze, forest fires, and floods.

Etymology
The name Palangka Raya is a combination of two words from the Dayak Ngaju and Sanskrit languages. Palangka (Dayak), meaning sacred site, and raya (Sanskrit), meaning vast; therefore, Palangka Raya means a vast sacred site. The city stands on the site of a small Dayak village called Pahandut that was surrounded by rainforest.

According to a local legend, Bayuh and Kambang, a married Dayak couple, founded the village because the surrounding region was not suitable for building a house, as its soil was made up of peat and swamps. Over time, the village grew into a small Dayak outpost with its surroundings being used for farming and as a small plantation. At first, it was believed that the name of the village was Dukuh Bayuh. Dukuh Bayuh was thought to be derived from Eka Badukuh, meaning "place to settle" in Dayak (with daily usage called Dukuh ain Bayuh, shortened Dukuh Bayuh). Pahandut on the other hand, according to local stories, was a respected elder and cultural figure from the village. He was often called Bapa Handut, which literally means Mr. Handut. Handut passed away because of an illness, and to respect his death as an important figure from the village, it was named Pahandut.

Colonial Era
According to documents from the Dutch East Indies, Pahandut village's existence was discovered by Zacharias Hartman, a Dutch explorer, on his journey around Kahayan and Kapuas River in 1823. This conflicts with the statements that claim the village was previously known under the Sultanate of Banjar, which became a Dutch protectorate under an agreement with Sultan Tahmidullah II in 1787. The region was leased to the Dutch East Indies by Sultan Sulaiman in 1817, and was ceded by Sultan Adam of Banjar under a contract signed on 4 May 1826, written in Dutch on second point which reads in English as:

It was integrated into Zuid Ooster Afdeeling in accordance with Bêsluit van den Minister van Staat, Gouverneur-Generaal van Nederlandsch-Indie No. 8, 27 August 1849. ("Decision of the Minister of State, Governor-General of Netherlands-India No. 8) In 1898, it became part of Afdeeling Dajaklandeen in accordance with Staatblad 1898 No. 178. (Official Gazette 1898 No. 178) Dutch rule remained weak in this region and several revolts from native rulers took place, such as under Raden Djaija and Pambakal Sulil in 1849. The region saw a conflict over succession and against Dutch rule called the Banjarmasin War. There has been debate about whether the fighting constituted one war or two, with the potential auxiliary war called the "Barito War". The village of Pahandut was also used by German missionaries as an outpost for the region around the Kahayan river. In the Tumbang Anoi Peacemaking Agreement between Dayak tribes in 1894 to end the practice of headhunting, it was noted that Pahandut village consisted of eight longhouses and was inhabited by around 40 families.

Later, during Indonesian National Revolution, there were armed clash within the region between Indonesian nationalists under unit TNI/MN 1001 and Royal Netherlands East Indies Army on 17 January 1946.

Establishment
The province of Central Kalimantan was established on 23 May 1957. At first, the capital for the Central Kalimantan province was not agreed and it was debated where it should be located. R.T.A. Milono, acting governor of Central Kalimantan, discussed the matter with several native organizations and cultural figures from the region. This however evoked tension from several native tribes and organizations that each wanted their own region to be chosen as capital. On 23 January 1957, a committee to discuss the matter was created, consisting mostly of Dayak cultural figures, in addition to military figures such as Tjilik Riwut and Dutch-descendant architect D.A.W. Van Der Pijl who also later designed the then-proposed new capital of South Kalimantan, Banjarbaru. From the committee's meeting, it was decided that Pahandut village would be the capital to avoid cultural association within tribes in the province, hence avoiding conflicts. At the time, the village only had an estimated population of around 900.

The first pillar in the development of Palangka Raya City was erected by Sukarno, the President of the Republic of Indonesia, on 17 July 1957, marking the inauguration of the monument to the provincial capital of Central Kalimantan in Pahandut. Then, in accordance with Law No. 21 of 1958, Pahandut was renamed to Palangka Raya City, maintaining its status as the provincial seat. The construction of the city was directly led by Tjilik Riwut, whom by then had become governor of the Central Kalimantan province. The city was claimed by him to be "free from colonial legacies". At first however, he was rumoured to be insane by residents of the province for trying to build a city on top of nothingness. It was officially made the capital of Central Kalimantan on 1 January 1960, relocated from temporary seat in Banjarmasin. By late 1962, the city had by this point largely finished construction of basic infrastructure such as schools, government offices, inner city roads, and residential areas, with an estimated 500 buildings having been constructed.

On 23 July 1965, it gained official city status (kotapraja) and formed its own municipal government. The city was constructed with the assistance of Soviet military, especially regarding road construction due to the terrain of the region - dominated by swamps and peat. The road which today is named Jl. Tjilik Riwut, was previously planned to be constructed from the city to Pangkalan Bun and Sampit. This however, was never realized due to 30 September Movement, coup d'état against Sukarno, and subsequent communist purge that followed. Many local workers resigned and abandoned their work due to fear of being accused as communist and the road construction stopped at the town of Tangkiling.

Recent history
Surrounded by forests and peat land, the city can be heavily affected by haze in the dry season, notably in 2015 and 2019. In 2015, the haze made the sky look yellow and affected road traffic.

In 2019, the haze caused several people to evacuate the city. Forest fires and haze have been annual threats to the city and the city government formed a special agency to deal with forest fires and haze. The city government constructed 23 canals and three retention basins around the city to deal with threat of forest fires in 2019.

The city was a candidate to become the new Indonesian capital until the 2019 announcement that the new capital will be in Penajam North Paser Regency and Kutai Kartanegara Regency, both in East Kalimantan.

Geography
Palangka Raya borders Gunung Mas Regency to the north, Katingan Regency to the west, and Pulang Pisau Regency to the south and east. The area's soil consists mostly of peat and alluvium in its southern part and podzol on the northern part of the city. Overall, podzol soil dominates the city soil with 218,486 out of 285,349 hectares of city's landscape. Most of the city's topography is flat, with a general slope of less than 40 percent. Palangka Raya is mostly located around 35 meters above sea level.

10,105.34 hectares of land in the city is designated as protected forest, while 90,722.15 hectares are production forest. In addition, there are also 63,816.40 hectares of national park, 1,771.13 hectares of nature reserve, and 726.20 hectares of preserved nature.

Climate
Palangka Raya has a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with heavy rainfall year-round. According to Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, average temperature in Palangka Raya is 27.28 C, with minimum temperature 21.4 C, and highest temperature 35.2 C. Moisture is between 65 – 95% with yearly average of 82.89%. Wind usually flows between 2 and 22 knots, with yearly average of 5.3 knots. Increase of wind speed is expected in August and November.

Demographics
Population growth was 2.84% as of 2019, with sex ratio of 106 males per 100 females. As of 2020, the city's population is dominated by younger demographics above the age of 15, making up an estimated 222,285 people of reproductive age. There are estimated to be 199,140 Muslims, 73,641 Protestants, 5,511 Catholics, 3,453 Hindus, 485 Buddhists, 8 Confucians, and 27 followers of other religions such as folk religions. The population of age 20 – 24 keeps increasing; this is thought to be caused by students from other regions in Central Kalimantan moving to the city to pursue higher education. In addition, the city has the highest human development index and standard of living in the entire Kalimantan, making it an attractive destination for migrants. Majority of city population are Dayak ethnic, accounts more than half of city's population. Other ethnics such as Banjar, Malay, Buginese, and Javanese also exist in the city. More than half of the city population are from Jekan Raya District.

Economy
Economic growth was 7% in 2019, above the national average, and inflation rate in the same year was 0.85%. Unemployment rate was 6% in 2020. The service sector is the largest contributor to city's gross regional product, contributing 28.36% of it in 2020, in contrast with neighboring regions which still rely mainly on agriculture and extraction. The next largest contributor to city's economy in 2020 was trade, with figure of 17.85%, followed by construction with 11.06%. The financial and banking sector provides around 6% of the city's economy. Agriculture, forestry, plantation, and fishery all combined contributed to 2.45% of the city's economy in 2019. Crop yields decreased rapidly from year-on-year; production of red chili dropped from 2,864 tons in 2018 to just more than 200 tons in 2020. Fish catch also decreased by 19.8% from 2018 to 2019. Tourism is a small but growing sector, with 389,235 domestic tourists and 3,865 foreign tourists visiting the city in 2019. The city government owns 2.47% of the shares of Central Kalimantan Bank together with provincial government.

Palangka Raya now consists of five administrative districts, tabulated below with their areas and population totals from the 2010 Census and from the 2020 Census, together with the official estimates as at mid 2023. The table also includes the number of administrative villages in each district (all classed as urban kelurahan), and its post codes.

Local government
As with all Indonesian cities, it is a second-level administrative division run by a mayor and a vice mayor together with the city parliament, and it is equivalent to a regency. Executive power is vested in the mayor and vice mayor, while legislative duties are vested in the local parliament.

Several malls exist in the city, such as Palangka Raya Mall, Mega Town Square, and Barata Departement Store. Palangka Raya Mall is integrated with a hotel named Hotel Neo, which has an interior connection to the mall. Construction of the Palangka Raya Trade Center was halted in 2019 because of a land dispute and followed by Supreme Court of Indonesia's rejection of the prosecutor's dispute.

According to city media center, Palangka Raya has 63 city parks as of January 2020. These parks scattered in Pahandut, Jekan Raya, and Sebangau District. Cultural events are often held on city park beside Kahayan Bridge. The Sebangau District is home to Sebangau National Park, which was established in 2004. The Balanga Museum has collections focused on history of Dayak people and their culture. It was built in 1973 and inaugurated in 1990.

Festival
The preservation of Dayak culture has been promoted by the provincial government through cultural events and festivals, including the annual Isen Mulang Festival, usually held in May and June. Other festivals were later held in 2020 with support of Ministry of Tourism, including those celebrating Malay cultures.

Sport
Palangka Raya is home to Kalteng Putra F.C, which as of 2021 competes in Liga 2 after degradation from Liga 1. Its home stadium is Tuah Pahoe Stadium, located in Jekan Raya District. It was expanded in 2019 to increase stadium's capacity, in addition to facility upgrades.

Palangka Raya has total of 911.83 kilometers of road, of which 563.73 kilometers have been paved with asphalt. The Kahayan River bisects the city and is also used for means of transportation. The city has one port, Rambang Port, located on the river and was the primary transit point for goods up until the 1980s. Improved road conditions between Palangka Raya and other regions such as Banjarmasin and Sampit resulted in a decline in the port's use, leading to disrepair. The city government has announced plans to revitalize the river port as a historic landmark and tourist destination.

The city has a bus rapid transit system operated by city government, named Trans Palangkaraya. This BRT system has five lines, and was launched in early 2018. Its operation was halted during the COVID-19 pandemic until resuming on 8 November 2020. App-based ride-hailing services such as Gojek and Grab also serve the city. Angkots used to be important for urban transportation within the city. However, arrival of online ride-hailing services and taxis together with creation of urban bus system resulted in angkot presence's decline. It is estimated as of 2020, 80% of angkot operators has been stop operating due to not being able to cover fuel cost and compete with other public transportation services.

Media
According to Indonesia Press Council, there are 14 mass media companies registered in Palangka Raya, ranging from online news, printed media, to television. Radio Republik Indonesia has local branch operating in Palangka Raya, as with most of other major cities in Indonesia. According to Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, there were 13 unlicensed media in Palangka Raya as of 2017.

Verticillium

Verticillium is a genus of fungi in the division Ascomycota, and are an anamorphic form of the family Plectosphaerellaceae. The genus used to include diverse groups comprising saprobes and parasites of higher plants, insects, nematodes, mollusc eggs, and other fungi, thus the genus used to have a wide-ranging group of taxa characterised by simple but ill-defined characters. The genus, currently thought to contain 51 species, may be broadly divided into three ecologically based groups - mycopathogens, entomopathogens, and plant pathogens and related saprotrophs. However, the genus has undergone recent revision into which most entomopathogenic and mycopathogenic isolates fall into a new group called Lecanicillium.

At least five species are known to cause a wilt disease in plants called verticillium wilt: V. dahliae, V. longisporum, V. albo-atrum, V. nubilum, and V. tricorpus. A sixth species, V. theobromae, causes fruit or crown rot, a non-wiliting disease.

Verticillium wilt
Verticillium wilt is a disease that can affect over 400 different eudicot plants, many of which are economically important worldwide. Several characteristics of Verticillium make it difficult to manage: prolonged survival in soils without the presence of a host, inaccessibility during infection, a wide host range, and limited resistance in host germplasm. However, all monocots, gymnosperms and ferns are immune.

The fungus survives in the soil principally in the form of microsclerotia, invades the plant through the root system, colonizes the vasculature, and eventually leads to plant death. The main mechanisms of its pathogenesis are xylem vessel blockage and toxin production. When the fungus propagates within a host plant, the mycelium blocks the xylem vessels, impairing the transport of water and nutrients in the host. The forces of transpiration and respiration in leaves combined with blocked xylem transport cause water imbalances in leaves that result in leaf yellowing and wilting, contributing to plant death. In addition, Verticillium produces mycotoxins within the plant that can cause necrosis in leaves and impair metabolism in the plant body. In some systems, toxin production has been shown to be the main cause of plant wilting.

First identified from potatoes in Germany in 1870, this disease affects a variety of cultivated plants and can persist as a saprotrophic soil organism for more than 15 years. Identification can be made by looking for one-celled conidia, hyaline round to ellipsoid which are formed at the tips of whorled branches. They are easily separated from the tips. When infecting ornamental trees such as maples, elms, aspen, ash, beech, catalpa, oak, and others, the first symptoms are midsummer wilting on one side of a tree or branch. The sapwood has greenish or brownish streaks, and the infection can take a few years to progress to the rest of the tree or move rapidly. The fungi universally move up the xylem vessels. In fruit trees, the infection is known as black heart, and is common in apricots and sometimes affects almond, peach, plum, and avocado trees. This fungus affects herbaceous ornamentals such as chrysanthemums, mints, Lychnis spp. It infects many agriculturally important crops like vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplants, okra, broccoli, cauliflower and rhubarb; food related crops like rapeseed and hops; and fiber crops like cotton.

Selected species

 * Verticillium dahliae Kleb.
 * Verticillium albo-atrum
 * Verticillium alfalfae
 * Verticillium isaacii Can cause verticillium wilt but can also inhabit hosts without necessarily being pathogenic.
 * Verticillium longisporum
 * Verticillium nonalfalfae
 * Verticillium theobromae
 * Verticillium zaregamsianum
 * Nematode pathogens which had previously been included in Verticillium have now been placed in the new genus Pochonia.
 * insect pathogens which had previously been included in Verticillium have been placed in the new genus Lecanicillium. An approved name of Verticillium lecanii (Zimmerman) Viegas is now Lecanicillium lecanii although isolates may belong to: L. attenuatum, L. longisporum, L. muscarium, or L. nodulosum.

mikmaw name for halifax/chebutco
I thought Halifax was called "Jipugtug" (said, to my wasp ears: jee-pook-took or jee-poog-toog".  I   I was just wondering out of honest curiosity what source you used for "gespogwitg"...  I was researching if Mikmaq ever really called Pugwash "pagwaek" (supposedly "deep water") and stumbled across http://www.mikmaqonline.org/ which is fantastic because it has an audio component with three speakers saying the word in quicktime files....  but it did not have either a word for deep water, or pugwash!  Anyway, I extremely glad to see the micmac there.  If you can cross confirm that jipugtug is what was later anglisised into "chebucto" I would like to put that on the Halifax page...  thanks again!

In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:Canada-bungee-map.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

File source problem with File:On the Road Cadillac.png
Thank you for uploading File:On the Road Cadillac.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of File:Canadian Chinese cuisine01.jpg

The file File:Canadian Chinese cuisine01.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: "unused, low-res, no obvious use"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:02, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
