WHTN

WHTN (channel 39) is a religious television station licensed to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, United States, serving the Nashville area as an owned-and-operated station of the Christian Television Network (CTN). The station's studios are located on Lebanon Road in Mount Juliet, and its transmitter is located on Lone Oak Road near Gladeville. WHTN offers 24-hour religious programming, much of which is produced either locally or at the CTN home base in Clearwater, Florida.

Although CTN has owned WHTN since 1986, it had a turbulent history before that. Channel 39 started broadcasting on December 30, 1983, as WFYZ, a second independent station for Middle Tennessee owned by Focus Communications. However, its plans to market itself were hindered by two factors: a signal that was not clearly received in all areas of Nashville and the launch less than two months later of WCAY-TV (channel 30), which had better programming and ratings. Within months, WFYZ was struggling financially; the station pivoted programming several times, from general entertainment to religious programming to music videos.

As the major investors in Focus Communications decided to focus on another business they owned, the troubled United Press International wire service, WFYZ was sold to a group led by Bob Hudson and rebranded as WHTN in November 1985. The relaunched station, however, continued to face serious economic problems which culminated in the station ceasing broadcasts in April 1986 due to unpaid electric bills. It returned to the air the next month after CTN agreed to buy the station.

WFYZ: Construction and a delayed start
In 1980, two groups applied for Murfreesboro's channel 39: Family Television Inc., proposing a general-entertainment independent station, and Channel 39 of Murfreesboro, which proposed a hybrid independent with subscription television programming. Of the 23 stockholders in Channel 39 of Murfreesboro, 80 percent were minorities, which was expected to provide the group an advantage in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s comparative hearing process. In April 1982, the FCC published its decision favoring Channel 39 of Murfreesboro. Family Television then withdrew, opting not to appeal in exchange for a partial reimbursement of its expenses in proposing the station. At the same time, two of the headline owners of channel 39 parent company Focus Communications, William Geissler and Douglas Ruhe, were part of a successful bid for news agency United Press International. In February 1983, station president John Rattliff announced that the station would sign on August 1 as a family-oriented independent outlet; the subscription programming proposal had been abandoned when the industry began to sour. By June, the deadline had slipped to October, but WFYZ had begun to move into the former Murfreesboro news bureau of Nashville's WNGE-TV in the city's Public Square. Tower installation delays pushed the station's launch date back several more times. The management hoped to launch the station on Christmas Day, but an ice storm and holiday work schedules scuttled those plans.

WFYZ began broadcasting on December 30, 1983. However, it continued to have an abbreviated broadcast day for months after it started. The rush to sign on caused a problem that management spent the early months of 1984 fixing: all the programs were being broadcast off tape machines at the transmitter site at Gladeville instead of the downtown Murfreesboro studio, as a downtown building blocked the line of sight between the two locations until the station raised the height of the tower at its studios. Also a concern was that some areas of Nashville did not get a strong signal from channel 39. However, the station had debuted a local public affairs program as well as a series of music video shows, one featuring The Tennessean music reporter Robert K. Oermann. There was also a change in general manager, as Kaki Holt was hired, making her the first woman to run a Nashville-area TV station.

Troubles and programming changes
Channel 39 had a disappointing ratings debut. In June 1984, its first ratings book after signing on, WFYZ's audience was too small for A. C. Nielsen or Arbitron to generate a rating; according to Arbitron, its afternoon block of children's programming was the only significant source of viewership. This was in stark contrast to a Nashville station that had signed on less than two months later, WCAY-TV (channel 30), owned by the TVX Broadcast Group. The June 1984 ratings book showed WCAY with three percent of the total viewing audience; this, in turn, was behind Nashville's established independent, WZTV (channel 17). The arrival of WCAY-TV compounded many of the station's problems. Seeking to remedy its technical problems, the station applied in September 1984 to move its tower closer to Nashville, but it could not do so until the allocated but unused channel 42 was moved out of the city. Months after going on the air, it had become apparent that WFYZ would be a challenge. Amid persistent rumors, one of the major stockholders, Bill Geissler, told The Tennessean on September 1 that the station was "here to stay" in spite of its troubles. On September 5, general manager Holt resigned and ownership announced it would cut back the station's hours of operation, most notably going from a 6 a.m. sign-on to a 3 p.m. start-up; local productions were halted as the station adopted a 'lean and mean' operating strategy. Debts were piling up to syndicators, radio stations, and Nashville's two daily newspapers; the latter placed the station on their "stop list" of delinquent accounts not to be given additional advertising. Tim McDonald, president of TVX, doubted his competitor's strategy, noting that programming costs would continue to be the primary expense and telling The Tennessean, "If you're going to be of service to your viewers, you have to be there. There's no television station in the U.S.—nowhere—that's successful with a part-time on-air schedule." Meanwhile, UPI Media put its only other operating television station, WFBN-TV in Joliet, Illinois, on the market.

In late September, a new general manager was hired, and WFYZ pivoted its broadcast schedule again to emphasize religious programming in the late morning and early afternoon hours it had just cut back, in part to generate income from the sale of airtime to religious ministries. Only one local show, Saturday Nite at the Videos, remained—because its host paid to air it. Programming from the short-lived Prime of Life Network, a Nashville-based service with programming for seniors, was added in December, when the station extended its broadcast day and increased its focus on programming for the Murfreesboro area. By this time, some of the station's former movie packages and syndicated shows had been acquired by WZTV and WCAY-TV. Beginning on April 1, 1985, the station filled most of its broadcast day with music videos from the Odyssey service and removed many of the remaining syndicated reruns it aired.

WHTN: New owners, same problems
In order to devote more time to the troubled UPI wire service, Geissler and Ruhe filed in June 1985 to sell WFYZ to Murfreesboro Television Corporation, a company headed by Bob Hudson. Hudson partnered with Bob Goad; the two already jointly owned two AM radio stations in Tennessee. Hudson had owned a TV station, though it had never broadcast; he owned the then-dark channel 17 in the early 1970s but failed to secure financing to return it to the air.

The station changed its call letters to WHTN on October 18, 1985, ahead of a programming revamp that took place on November 4. Hudson told The Tennessean that the new call letters did not mean "Hudson Television Network", saying, "I'm not that much of an egotist". Channel 39 switched back to a general-entertainment format, discontinuing the music videos, and added classic movies. The first day of the new programming was plagued by technical and other mishaps and filled with last-minute schedule changes. On the first edition of a live talk show hosted by program director Bill Perkins, the butterfly backdrop on the set fell down—twice.

The new programming failed to solve the deeper problems of channel 39's finances. In December 1985 alone, the Murfreesboro water company sought to shut off water to the studios after a bill went unpaid; the local electrical utility, Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation (MTE), threatened the station with disconnection; incoming packages, including tapes of programs, were turned away because the station could not afford shipping costs; and RCA repossessed two of the station's three studio cameras, leaving the station with one camera for all of its studio and commercial production. WHTN's liabilities had risen to $6 million by January 1986. The transmitter experienced problems in cold weather when a heat exchanger failed, causing pipes in the water-cooled equipment to burst. By February 1986, paychecks were bouncing at the two radio stations owned by Hudson and Goad; employees walked out at both stations after they went unpaid. Among the last new programs debuted on the station was a local children's program, the daily Kimbo & Company; the host, Kim Scolaro, was only ever paid one paycheck for six weeks of work.

WHTN's precarious position came to a head at the end of March 1986, when general manager Bill Perkins resigned rather than follow orders from Hudson to lay off six employees. The employees were told Perkins had resigned for health reasons, but Perkins told The Tennessean that "a television station is not a mom-and-pop operation" to be run on a "shoestring". The station was late to sign on on April 9 because the MTE disconnected electric service over an unpaid bill and an expired bond; paychecks for the employees that remained were becoming irregular. A sheriff's sale was scheduled for the contents of the station in order to satisfy a debt that WHTN owed a local construction company, while the station's bank account was garnished.

On April 21, the electricity was cut off once more by MTE. Minority owner Goad announced he had "ended [his] financial support" for Hudson's management several months prior; Hudson approached former owners Geissler and Ruhe seeking additional funds to settle the debt with the utility.

CTN ownership
On May 6, 1986, the Christian Television Network (CTN) of Clearwater, Florida, agreed to purchase WHTN, and the station returned to air immediately with Christian programming from CTN as well as selected programs from the station's prior inventory. However, by that time, WHTN had already lost its slot on Nashville's Viacom cable system. By 1991, the station had relocated its studios from Murfreesboro to Mount Juliet.

WHTN-TV began digital broadcasting by November 2002. In 2009, the station shut down analog broadcasting; WHTN was one of two local stations to cease analog broadcasting before the February 17, 2009, national shutoff date. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 38, using virtual channel 39. WHTN relocated its signal from channel 38 to channel 16 on October 18, 2019, as a result of the 2016 United States wireless spectrum auction.

Talk:Manitoba Schools Question

Needs more context
This article needs to give a little more context on the history, perhaps explaining in a sentence or two what the Rebellion was and certainly linking to an article about it. As a non-Canadian I don't have a clue. Gerry Lynch 14:15, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I've added a link to the wiki article on the Red River Resistance and expanded the opening section a bit, to provide some more context. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 05:55, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

on-going schools question
I wonder if someone who found this article useful might not also find it useful to find out what happened to the question of funding of Catholic schools in Manitoba, a question that was debated and acted on through to the 1980s at least. Or: when someone says 'manitoba schools question' do they always mean 'the crisis in the last century' or could they mean 'the question of funding Catholic schools in Manitoba'? 140.184.192.117 17:58, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I think the phrase "Manitoba Schools Question" generally refers to the controversy in the 1890s, which had serious consequences in relation to the English-French debate at the national level. More recent developments in Manitoba would probably better be dealt with in a separate article. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 05:55, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Bangladeshi cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2005

The Bangladeshi cricket team toured Sri Lanka for three One Day International cricket matches and two Test cricket matches in August and September 2005. The Bangladeshi team was coming off a moderately successful tour of England, as they had pushed Australia close in one ODI and beat them in another. However, they had still lost five out of six matches in the NatWest Series, both of the Test matches, and remained at the bottom of both the ICC Test Championship and ICC ODI Championship. The hosts Sri Lanka, meanwhile, were undefeated in home ODI tournaments since February 2004, and in home Test series since March 2004, both against top-ranked Australia. Their win in the Indian Oil Cup a month before this series saw them into second place in the ODI Championship, but they are only ranked sixth in Tests.

Scheduled matches

 * 4 September: Third One-Day International, R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
 * 7–9 September: Warm-up two-innings match, Colts Cricket Club Ground, Colombo
 * 12–16 September: First Test, R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
 * 20–24 September: Second Test, P. Saravanamuttu Stadium, Colombo

Sri Lanka Cricket XI v Bangladesh, 28 August
Sri Lanka Cricket XI won by ten wickets

A slow start by openers Rajin Saleh and Javed Omar cost Bangladesh dearly in the warm-up match against a side of Sri Lankan fringe players at Moratuwa, along with an inability to take wickets. The pair added 59 for the first wicket, but never really got off the mark, and when Pradeep Jayaprakashdaran dismissed Omar and Aftab Ahmed in quick succession things started to look tricky. The other players were forced to make runs quickly, and two run outs followed as a result. In the end, it was the experienced all-rounders Mohammad Rafique and Khaled Mashud who ensured that Bangladesh set a somewhat competitive target of 236. However, Avishka Gunawardene and Upul Tharanga both made centuries, and the Bangladeshi bowlers were thoroughly hit around. Sri Lanka made their way to 236 for 0 in just 36.1 overs of the possible 50. To add insult to injury, Mashrafe Mortaza suffered a back spasm and was ruled out of the first ODI. Cricinfo scorecard

1st ODI
Bangladesh won the toss in the first of three matches, and under cloudy skies they chose to bowl first, putting faith in his newly composed seam bowling attack of Tapash Baisya and Syed Rasel with the new ball. However, the pair leaked runs during the first eight overs, and the score was 51 for 0 when Baisya ran in to bowl his fifth over of the day and Bangladesh's ninth. However, Sanath Jayasuriya was bowled by an inswinging delivery from Baisya for 25, and that slowed Sri Lanka down. Baisya even bowled a maiden over as the Sri Lankans chose to wait out the middle overs and set the platform for big hitting at the end - which worked perfectly.

Aftab Ahmed, the batsman used as an all-rounder with his medium pace in ODIs, got a bit of movement in the conditions, and that helped him to take two wickets - those of Tharanga and Kumar Sangakkara. However, he also bowled five wides in the process, and one of them even went to the boundary for four runs. Ahmed conceded 55 runs off his ten overs, and the two wickets did not help Bangladesh much, as Mahela Jayawardene and Russel Arnold helped themselves to boundaries as the innings neared a close. Spinner Mohammad Rafique toiled for Bangladesh, but could only get one wicket for plenty of runs, although a stumping chance went begging earlier on. Arnold was run out at the end of the 43rd over, though, and Manjural Islam Rana got a wicket with his last delivery of the day, as the new batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan swept a top edge to Syed Rasel down the leg side. The wickets slowed Sri Lanka down somewhat, but only temporarily, as Jayawardene quickly got on top of the bowling again. In the final over of Sri Lanka's innings, three wickets fell, Jayawardene eventually being run out having added 50 runs in an hour. Sri Lanka closed on 269 for 9.

A crowd of a couple of hundred saw Bangladesh's opening batsman Javed Omar hit three boundaries in the opening overs, but he was run out by Russel Arnold, and from then on, Bangladesh lost wickets regularly. No partnership passed 30 until that of the very last wicket, by which time it was all too late. Dilhara Fernando started the procession, deceiving Tushar Imran and Mohammad Ashraful to send them back for single-figure scores, and joint top-scorer Shahriar Nafees was fourth to fall, giving a return catch to Dilshan. Following Nafees' dismissal, Bangladesh quickly crashed to 103 for 8, with fast bowler Farveez Maharoof taking three wickets. Eventually, Bangladesh needed 143 for the last wicket off 98 deliveries, and Khaled Mashud and Tapash Baisya opted to block out the overs instead - while the Sri Lankan captain gave the ball to his spinners to get the match over with quickly, the three seamers Chaminda Vaas, Fernando and Maharoof only bowling 20 of a possible 30 overs. Cricinfo scorecard

2nd ODI
Upul Tharanga made another big score as Sri Lanka once again batted Bangladesh out of the game. The left-hander, who had a disappointing run in the Indian Oil Cup a month earlier, now hit plenty of boundaries into the off side, as he and Sanath Jayasuriya flayed the Bangladeshi pacers Tapash Baisya, Syed Rasel and Nazmul Hossain. Admittedly, Tharanga had a slice of luck early on, as Manjural Islam Rana dropped him at slip on 13, but he never failed from there. In the opening 15 overs, Tharanga and Jayasuriya added 100 runs, before Jayasuriya finally edged a short-pitched ball behind to wicket-keeper Khaled Mashud. A slower period followed, as number 3 Dilshan was more cautious against the seam bowlers, spending an hour at the crease but only making 27. Tharanga, however, accumulated singles well off the spinners, keeping the run rate well above five an over to end with 105 before Rana got his revenge - Tharanga came down the pitch to Rana, but missed the ball, and was stumped by Masud.

The Bangladeshi bowlers bowled patiently, but the poor start had cost them badly, and it went from bad to worse when Nazmul limped off in his seventh over. He was eventually substituted for Tushar Imran, while Aftab Ahmed took over his bowling duties. Neither could contain the Sri Lankans, though, as the captain Marvan Atapattu and wicket-keeper Kumar Sangakkara took Sri Lanka past 200 with 11 overs to go. Sangakkara eventually fell to Rafique, and in the next over Syed Rasel got rid of pinch hitter Dilhara Lokuhettige for 2, only to see Mahela Jayawardene, the man of the last match, come in to partner Atapattu. The pair added 43 from the last 26 balls, Atapattu recording a whirlwind 53 while Jayawardene closed on 23.

The chase was never really on for Bangladesh, who kept their run rate steadily above 4 an over but had to see the required rate explode to nearly nine an over. When that happened in the 28th over, and the score was at 121 for 2, the Bangladeshis tried to hit out, and duly lost three wickets to Dilshan's off spin. Shahriar Nafees was first to fall to Dilshan's spin, having made his second ODI fifty in six games, while Rafique and Ashraful followed shortly afterwards. Forced onto the back foot with the score 140 for 5, Bangladesh put on substitute Tushar Imran, who joined in a partnership of 71 with Bashar in 13 overs. However, the pair scored too slowly to have any chance of winning, instead just trying to save face. Sri Lanka saved their pace bowlers again, opting for Dilshan, Upul Chandana and even the medium pace of Mahela Jayawardene, as they used eight of their eleven possible bowlers in the innings. Cricinfo scorecard

3rd ODI
Bangladesh failed to convert a promising start into a competitive total in the third and final ODI of the series, as Maharoof and Lokuhettige conceded 46 runs off the eight opening overs, despite bowling in friendly conditions with plenty of clouds. Lokuhettige was especially expensive, and was duly taken off for Dilhara Fernando, who got the breakthrough for Sri Lanka as Javed Omar was out lbw to Fernando. That started the slide. Maharoof continued from the other end, inducing catches from the bats of Rafique and Shahriar Nafees, and suddenly Bangladesh were staring down a familiar hole, the score 51 for 3 at the end of 10 overs.

Composure would be required from Aftab Ahmed and Mohammad Ashraful, but the pair lasted only one over, Fernando bowling a slower ball to Ashraful which he could not get bat on and was lbw for 0. Aftab Ahmed saw off six more balls before he, too, was lbw, misreading the line of a ball from Maharoof, and captain Bashar completed the procession by edging to Sangakkara for 1. In 26 deliveries, Bangladesh had only scored seven runs, and they had lost six wickets in the process. The primary task for Bangladesh now were to survive 48 overs (their innings had been shortened slightly due to bad light), but even that was too much of a challenge, as the spinners Upul Chandana and Tillakaratne Dilshan shared the four last wickets, all caught, to see Bangladesh all out for 108.

The chase of 106 - again cut down due to rain - was led by Avishka Gunawardene, who saw off the opening bowlers with relative ease, taking Rasel for runs while defending more against the experienced Baisya - who dug out two wickets, those of Tharanga and pinch-hitter Lokuhettige. However, he did not get any further wickets, and Bangladesh were put to the sword by Gunawardene before Rafique and Mahmud calmed him down as he neared fifty. After four overs without boundaries, Gunawardene brought up his fifty with one edged through third man, before pulling a short ball straight to Tushar Imran who held the catch comfortably. Yet, Sri Lanka still needed 22 runs for the victory, with seven wickets in hand and one of their most experienced batsmen in Kumar Sangakkara at the crease. In the 21st over, Sangakkara levelled the scores with two big leg side shots that went for four, before calling a risky single that had Thilan Samaraweera run out for 18. Nevertheless, it was all too late, as Sangakkara wrapped it up by hitting a single to midwicket. Cricinfo scorecard

Sri Lanka Development XI v Bangladeshis, 7–9 September
Match drawn

Sri Lanka's Development XI, strengthened by internationals Thilan Samaraweera and Gayan Wijekoon who was picked to get match practice before the Tests, dominated the three-day, 12-a-side game with Bangladesh, but could not force a victory. Winning the toss and bowling first, the Development XI got off to a good start, with Tharanga Lakshitha taking two wickets. Bangladesh crashed to 90 for 6, but Javed Omar fought back with an uncharacteristically quick 81, and he was also helped by Tapash Baisya who made 54. Nevertheless, Gayan Wijekoon and 19-year-old leg spinner Gihan Rupasinghe took three wickets each, as Bangladesh were all out for 197. Bangladesh then put in a lacklustre bowling effort, conceding 48 extras - 25 in no-balls - while Shantha Kalavitigoda, wicket-keeper Gihan de Silva and left-hander Jeewan Mendis made fifties. Four wickets from Syed Rasel helped little, as the Development XI made their way to 412. Bangladesh survived out the last day for a draw, however, despite crashing to 92 for 4, thanks to fifties from Mohammad Ashraful and Aftab Ahmed.

1st Test
Bangladesh were given their eighth innings defeat in ten Test matches by Sri Lanka, losing after seven sessions of play in Colombo, despite a promising start. They lost Shahriar Nafees early, as he was bowled between bat and pad by Lasith Malinga, but Javed Omar made a gutsy 30, and Habibul Bashar got his second successive Test half-century, as Bangladesh made their way to 155 for 2.

Then, Bangladesh lost their heads. Ashraful attempted a big heave off Herath, but was caught by Dilhara Fernando in the deep. Two overs later, Tushar Imran was bowled by Herath, but the killing blow came with the next delivery. A throw from close in ran out Habibul Bashar - he had managed to get his bat over the line, but it bounced up and did not touch the ground when the ball hit the stumps. Bangladesh had lost three wickets for one run, and more was to come, as Muttiah Muralitharan and Herath took one wicket each within the space of six deliveries. At 158 for 7, Bangladesh batted for face, and debutant Syed Rasel tried with a streaky 19. He was last out, stumped off Herath, who ended with four for 38. In return, Sri Lanka played a bit more sedately, and none of their batsmen passed fifty in the 44 overs in their innings on day one, yet they only trailed 28 runs with seven wickets in hand.

Sri Lanka continued on their merry path in the second innings, as Mohammad Rafique and Enamul Haque toiled for the better part of the morning and afternoon sessions to little reward. A slow pitch rewarded gritty batting, as shown by Thilan Samaraweera's four-hour 78. Fifties also came from Mahela Jayawardene and Tillakaratne Dilshan - the latter was last out, missing an attempted pull shot as the ball from Rasel clattered into his stumps, bowled for 86. Rafique had cleaned up the lower order earlier, removing Chaminda Vaas, Herath and Muralitharan en route to his sixth five-wicket-haul of his career, but Dilhara Fernando had lasted for 30 minutes with Dilshan when Rasel broke through. With the score 370 for 9, Sri Lanka didn't bother to send the rabbit Lasith Malinga in to bat, and Marvan Atapattu declared.

Bangladesh were sent in to bat, and Lasith Malinga took one wicket in three expensive opening overs, but Shahriar Nafees and Habibul Bashar took the fight to the Sri Lankan seam bowlers. With the score 35 for 1 after 7 overs, Atapattu brought on off spinner Muralitharan - who had quietly taken three for 42 in the first innings - and he immediately delivered. His third ball to Shahriar was left alone, and clattered into the opener's stumps - out for 13. Mohammad Ashraful only lasted one ball, trapped lbw by the doosra. Rain then provided relief for the Bangladeshis, as the second day's play was ended prematurely, but they looked to struggle to another innings defeat.

Indeed, the third day became a nightmare. On a typical Sri Lankan turning track, Muralitharan finished with the fine figures of six for 18, as the Bangladeshis were bamboozled. Habibul Bashar started the procession with the ninth delivery of the day, which he edged to wicket-keeper Kumar Sangakkara, and from then on, only Khaled Mashud lasted for more than half an hour. He was also the only one to get into double figures, as Bangladesh were all out for 86, their lowest Test score of their five-year Test history to date. Cricinfo scorecard

2nd Test
Bangladesh competed for half a session in the second Test, before crashing to a familiar innings defeat - their 24th in 40 Tests. In that first half-session, however, they showed a great deal of seam bowling competence. Their new ball bowlers Syed Rasel and Shahadat Hossain took two wickets each as Sri Lanka's top order struggled. It was Sri Lanka who had chosen to bat, but the Bangladeshis got some movement with the ball early on, and after Marvan Atapattu and Sanath Jayasuriya had added 28 for the first wicket, Shahadat struck in the sixth over.

First, he bowled a ball that Atapattu found prudent to leave alone, and nearly knocked down the off-stump of the Sri Lankan captain. Two balls later, a ball moving away from the batsman found the outside edge, and Atapattu was gone for 11. Jayasuriya was nearly run out in the next over, before perishing lbw, and Rasel and Shahadat then got two balls to nip back in and crash into the batsmen's stumps. In the space of 13 overs, Bangladesh had taken four wickets for 48 runs - only the second time in their five-year history that the first four wickets of their opponents had fallen for less than 50.

Thilan Samaraweera and Tillakaratne Dilshan battled well, however, adding 69 before lunch, although Dilshan benefitted from a dropped catch by Mohammad Ashraful. Ashraful and Bangladesh were to pay the highest price for this let-off. After lunch, the seamers were nowhere near as effective, and Dilshan plundered runs with ease. Bangladesh's spinners, Mohammad Rafique and Enamul Haque jnr were ineffective as Dilshan and Samaraweera passed milestones with ease. The 100 partnership came up shortly after lunch, and then fifty for each individual, and Dilshan reached 133 not out by the end of the session, the partnership having added 220 for the fifth wicket - needing 14 in the evening session to overcome the previous Sri Lankan Test record for the fifth wicket, set against Bangladesh at the very same ground three years earlier.

They passed that record shortly after tea, and went on to add 280, before Dilshan nicked behind to Khaled Mashud and a stroke-filled three-and-a-half-hour innings came to an end. He recorded his highest Test score of his career to date, with 168. Samaraweera was out four short of his highest Test score, making 138, as Bangladesh got two wickets with the new ball - yet Sri Lanka had turned 48 for 4 to 449 for 7 in the space of two and a half sessions. Chaminda Vaas added insult to injury, smacking ten fours and a six to bring up 61 before the close of play, and he would begin the second day 13 short of his highest Test score.

Rasel ended that dream for Vaas, though, as the Sri Lankan dragged the ball into his stumps to be bowled for 65. Sri Lanka, once again, declared without giving Lasith Malinga the chance to bat, leaving Bangladesh 457 to hit for first-innings parity. It started well, as Javed Omar and Shahriar Nafees added 16 in 5 overs, but Shahriar edged a delivery from Malinga into the diving keeper's hands, and Habibul Bashar came in for a short visit at the crease. He managed 18, before he was caught off Dilhara Fernando, and Fernando went on to take three wickets as Bangladesh crawled to 80 for 4 at lunch. Only Mohammad Ashraful had passed 20 of the top five, but he did survive a close lbw shout on 14 due to Fernando bowling a no-ball.

Ashraful went on after lunch, making 42 before a slower ball from Fernando ended his 43-run stand with Aftab Ahmed, and after that, wickets fell quickly. Muttiah Muralitharan added three to his series tally, which now stood at 12, and eight people were caught in the Bangladeshi innings, which lasted 45.4 overs. It would have been even less but for a determined half-hour between Mashud and Enamul - the pair added 25 in 9 overs before Mashud was stumped shortly after tea. Bangladesh were asked to follow on, and once again gave up catches - Nafees Iqbal had been promoted to opener, and made 30 quickly, before giving up a leg side catch to Sangakkara. Earlier, Javed Omar and Habibul Bashar had been out to expansive shots for low scores, and once again it was down to Ashraful. He recorded 21 runs in the evening session, at an unusually slow pace, while Shahriar Nafees were left to hit the big shots, taking eight fours off the Sri Lankan bowlers as he moved to 51. Two balls before the close of play, however, he edged to Samaraweera at slip, giving Muralitharan another wicket, and Bangladesh closed on 131 for 4, still 135 short of Sri Lanka's first innings score.

Bangladesh's resistance lasted for 26.4 overs on the third morning, very similar to their effort in the first Test. Vaas broke through first, removing Ashraful and nightwatchman Shahadat in successive overs, as Bangladesh's last recognised batting partnership was in with the score 139 for 6. Aftab Ahmed and Khaled Mashud held out for 11 overs, but Rangana Herath took the wicket of Aftab and the last two batsmen, leaving Bangladesh all out for 197 - an improvement by 27 runs in the loss margin, but still a comprehensive defeat.

Chaenotheca

Chaenotheca is a genus of lichenized fungi within the family Coniocybaceae. The sexual reproduction structures are a mass of loose ascospores that are enclosed by a cup shaped sitting on top of a tiny stalk, having the appearance of a dressmaker's pin (called a mazaedium), hence the common name pin lichen. Genus members are also commonly called needle lichens. partners for Chaenotheca include members of the algae genera Symbiochloris, Trebouxia, Trentepohlia, and Tritostichococcus.

Rotha Lintorn-Orman

Rotha Beryl Lintorn Lintorn-Orman (born Rotha Beryl Lintorn Orman, 7 February 1895 – 10 March 1935) was a British political activist and World War I veteran who founded the British Fascisti, the first avowedly fascist movement to appear in British politics.

Early life
Lintorn-Orman was born at 36 Cornwall Gardens in Kensington, London, to Charles Edward Orman, a major from the Essex Regiment, and his wife, Blanche. Her maternal grandfather was Field Marshal Sir Lintorn Simmons. Upon her grandfather's death in February 1903, Lintorn-Orman's mother inherited the family's immense wealth, since she was likely the only surviving child at the time. Raised in Bournemouth, before moving to Liphook at the age of nine, Lintorn-Orman was among the few girls seeking entry into scouting organizations; along with her friend Nesta Maude, in 1908, Lintorn-Orman had registered as a Scout troop, using initials rather than forenames. By 1909, she had led both the first and second Bournemouth Girl Guides and she was awarded one of the first of the Girl Guides' Silver Fish Awards. The Orman family adopted the surname of Lintorn-Orman by deed poll in 1912.

When World War I broke out, Lintorn-Orman joined the war effort as an ambulance driver. Initially serving with the Women's Volunteer Reserve, she was assigned to the Scottish Women's Hospital Corps and sent to the Serbian front in 1916. During her time in the war, she was, according to a later report in the fascist press, twice decorated with the Croix de Charité, awarded for gallantry in action, for "heroic rescues in Salonica". In 1917, she contracted malaria and returned to London, joining the Red Cross. In 1918, she became Commandant of the British Red Cross Motor School at Devonshire House, which put her in charge of training all ambulance drivers for the Red Cross.

Fascism
Following Lintorn-Orman's war service, she placed an advertisement in the right-wing journal The Patriot seeking anti-communists. This led to the foundation of the British Fascisti (later the British Fascists) in 1923 as a response to the growing strength of the Labour Party, a source of great anxiety for the virulently anti-Communist Lintorn-Orman. She felt Labour was too prone to advocating class conflict and internationalism, two of her pet hates.

Financed by her mother Blanche, Lintorn-Orman's party nonetheless struggled due to her preference for remaining within the law and her continuing ties to the fringes of the Conservative Party. Lintorn-Orman was essentially a Tory by inclination but was driven by a strong anti-communism and attached herself to fascism largely because of her admiration for Benito Mussolini and what she saw as his action-based style of politics. The party was subject to a number of schisms, such as when the moderates led by R. B. D. Blakeney defected to the Organisation for the Maintenance of Supplies during the 1926 General Strike or when the more radical members resigned to form the National Fascisti, and ultimately lost members to the Imperial Fascist League and the British Union of Fascists when these groups emerged. Lintorn-Orman wanted nothing to do with the BUF as she considered its leader, Oswald Mosley, to be a near-communist and was particularly appalled by his former membership in the Labour Party. The feelings were reciprocated; Mosley referred to the British Fascists as "three old ladies and a couple of office boys", despite the fact that Lintorn-Orman was only 37 years old, and Mosley's son claimed that she got the idea to save Britain from communism one day while she was weeding her kitchen garden. Nonetheless, the BF lost much of its membership to Mosley's party after Neil Francis Hawkins left in favour of the BUF in 1932 after a formal merger was narrowly rejected.

Final years
Lintorn-Orman was dependent on alcohol and drugs, which the Home Office used to disparage the British Fascists as a fringe movement supported by a mere drug addict, and rumours about her sexual orientation began to damage her reputation. Eventually her mother stopped funding her after hearing lurid tales of drink, drugs and orgies. Lintorn-Orman was taken ill in 1933 and was sidelined from the British Fascists, as effective control passed to Mrs D. G. Harnett, who sought to breathe new life into the group by seeking to ally it with Ulster loyalism.

Lintorn-Orman died of an alcohol-related illness at the age of 40 on 10 March 1935 at Santa Brígida, Las Palmas, in the Canary Islands. By then her organisation was all but defunct. She was buried at the English Cemetery in Las Palmas.

User:Kenwarren/sandbox/rktect

Statement by third party Kenwarren
I have been involved in this very nearly since the beginning. I located the mediator who initially attempted to mediate this dispute, and I have been an active participant in many of the discussions with Rktect on his various articles and edits. Rktect has made serious charges against a number of people including me, so I suppose that involves me in this dispute.

Conspiracy
Rktect has accused a number of Wikipedians of conspiring against him. I will not speak for anyone else, but I have not been made aware of or participated in any such conspiracy. With the exception of several private emails exchanged with Egil here, and three emails received from Rktect here all of my communications are available on the various talk pages this has been playing out on.

Accuracy
Rktect's contributions, factually, are a mixed bag. His general contention that systems of measurement have been imported from culture to culture is non-controversial. Many of his specifics are shaky, see e.g. Itrw, which he identifies as a distance of 21,000 royal cubits. This distance differs from the literature: see e.g. near the bottom of page 4, and various print sources, all agree on "approximately 20,000 cubits". There are enough factual errors in Rktect's contributions that all of his facts need to be checked, a difficult task. He also shades into conclusions which are rejected in the field of classical studies, such as a contention that Egyptian (and thus probably all following) systems of measurement are based on a precise knowledge of geodesy.

Article style
In terms of article style, Rktect's contributions are very hard to deal with. He uses indents in a manner which makes it impossible to follow the text, he mis-uses (or doesn't use at all) headings , he frequently breaks wikimarkup in the process of (I believe) copy/pasting from an external editor, and almost every edit includes material that isn't relevant to the subject of the article. His prose is typically not easy to follow even without other problems, due to punctuation and grammar errors. In general, nearly every article he does significant work on should be listed on Pages needing attention. When left alone, Rktect's preferred article version seems to be this less than useful version, see e.g. which has not been touched by any of the involved Wikipedians since the 27th of August.

Relevancy of material
Eratosthenes is one of several articles on which Rktect has declined to address concerns regarding relevancy. See where I revert to remove irrelevant material,, where I explain why,  where Rktect reverted, claiming additional cites (in his edit summary, not on the talk page) to substantiate his statements;  where I revert again, for exactly the same reason,  where Rktect reverts again, and finally  where Rktect finally replies on the talk page with a filibuster intercalated with my own comments to the point where it's hard to tell what I wrote by reading the talk page. See also Mille Passus with numerous "Degrees of X", none of which mention the subject of the article; This version of Mile , and this version of Gabriel Mouton  currently containing material which has been repeatedly challenged, which challenge has not yet been satisfactorily answered. Rktect's response in the last case: doesn't address the relevancy issue.

Editorial style
Rktect's style as an editor is combative. When his edits are challenged, on any grounds, his normal tactic is to simply paste back in what he originally wrote, possibly with additions. See, e.g. Mile: (69.164.70.243 is a known anon of Rktect)     (Note: this continues for another dozen or so cycles of revert or clean up and repaste by Rktect untl the article is finally protected on August 19th ). On talk pages, he frequently filibusters by pasting entire articles into inappropriate talk pages (Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion/Standards of measure in the Jemdet Nasr, for example) and intercalates large amounts of text into others' comments. See e.g. this series of edits by Rktect where he intercalates and filibusters enough that it's basically impossible to follow their comments afterward without extensive recourse to the history.

Engaging him in productive discussion
I have tried to engage Rktect in discussion numerous times, with results ranging from complete failure (,, User talk:Kenwarren/Metrology) to those like Gabriel Mouton where Rktect appears to ignore those parts of the discussion he doesn't like. It is not impossible, however. See, e.g., Livio Catullo Stecchini: here I remove some POV material, here  in which Egil adds some potentially controversial material and I try to do a bit of cleanup, here  where rather than just "removing some of the more flagrant POV material" Rktect whitewashes Stecchini, here  where I try to produce a neutral POV again, and here  where Rktect whitewashes Stecchini again. In the meantime, this conversation on the article's talk page:  (in which Rktect pastes the entire content of the article into the talk page, a common tactic) This is the only time I would say I have succeeded in engaging Rktect in substantive discussions on an article's content.

Vandalism
Rktect has engaged in minor vandalism on one occasion:, , to make a point:. Additional disruptions: and Gabriel Mouton VfD,  and Pseudoscientific metrology vfd, both of which I believe to have been either to make a point, or to have been intended as revenge edits.

Bad faith
I see little evidence of bad faith on his part beyond the above and interpreting a mediation truce as permitting him to continue editing on the various articles related to weights and measures, while constraining Egil from doing likewise. See here where I made the initial mediation request, here where Rktect(operating as anon user 69.164.70.243 redefined truce the first time, and here where I clarify and Rktect redefines truce again.

Edit summaries
Rktect has used, and continues to use, deceptive edit summaries. While he no longer misuses the minor edit flag, he still words edit summaries in a manner which would make one think that the change made is relatively minor. See, e.g. and  which suggest minor changes, and  and  (neither one, admittedly, a major change) with no edit summary at all.

Gableboat

A gableboat (gavelbåt or gavlabåt in Norwegian) is a traditional Norwegian boat mainly used for fishing with a seine. It is usually built by clinker method pine on oak framework. They are robust boats that can carry big loads, but are still swift sailers.

The gableboat got its name by the gable in the aft, making the rear bottom flatter than round-ended vessels, enabling them to both have a bigger load, and to create less friction when sailing or rowing.

Andrew Geddes (artist)

Andrew Geddes (5 April 1783 – 5 May 1844) was a Scottish portrait painter and etcher.

Life
Geddes was born at 7 St Patrick Street in south Edinburgh.

After receiving a classical education at the Royal High School and subsequently at the University of Edinburgh, he was employed as a clerk for five years in the excise office, in which his father held the post of deputy auditor.

After the death of his father, who had opposed his desire to become an artist, he went to London and entered the Royal Academy schools. His first contribution to the exhibitions of the Royal Academy, a St John in the Wilderness, appeared at Somerset House in 1806, and from that year onwards Geddes was a fairly constant exhibitor of figure-subjects and portraits. His well-known portrait of David Wilkie, with whom he was on terms of intimacy, was at the Royal Academy in 1816. He alternated for some years between London and Edinburgh, with some excursions on the Continent, and in 1809 resided at 7 St James Square in Edinburgh, moving to 55 York Place in 1812.

In 1831 settled in London, and was elected associate of the Royal Academy in 1832.

He died at Berners Street in London of tuberculosis on 5 May 1844.

Work
Geddes made his chief success as a portrait painter, but he produced occasional figure subjects and landscapes, and executed some copies of the old masters as well. He was also a good etcher. His portrait of his mother, and a portrait study, called Summer, are in the National Gallery of Scotland, and his portrait of Sir Walter Scott is in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

His portrait of Alexander Oswald of Changue FRSE is held at the Glasgow Museum Resource Centre.

Gwynllwg

Gwynllŵg was a kingdom of mediaeval Wales and later a Norman lordship and then a cantref.

Location
It was named after Gwynllyw, its 5th century or 6th century ruler and consisted of the coastal plain stretching between the Rhymney and Usk rivers, together with the hills to the north, the Commote of Machen. It was traditionally regarded as part of the kingdom of Glamorgan (Morgannwg), rather than that of Gwent which extended only as far westwards as the River Usk. However, under the Laws in Wales Acts of 1535–42, the hundred was included with those situated to the east, to form the new county of Monmouthshire.

Wentloog and St. Woolos
The name Gwynllŵg became a marcher lordship (alternatively called Newport). The name survives as 'Wentloog' in the Wentloog hundred and in villages on the coastal plain such as Peterstone Wentloog and St Brides Wentloog. The name Pillgwenlly for a district of central Newport also contains a corrupted version of this name. The Caldicot and Wentloog Levels also take their name from the hundred.

The Cathedral at Newport is dedicated to Gwynllyw (corrupted to St. Woolos). The name survives as 'St. Woolos' as the general locality around the cathedral.

Kawasaki Zephyr

The Kawasaki Zephyr is a range of retro-styled naked superbikes made in the 1990s in Kawasaki's Z series. All models have transverse air-cooled dual overhead camshaft inline-four engines. There were a number of Zephyr models, in four engine capacities, 400 ,.

The 400 was produced for the Japan market starting in 1989.

Zephyr styling is roughly based on the old Kawasaki Z1, with twin shock rear suspension, a relatively upright riding position and air-cooled power units. The 400, 550 and 750 engines were developed from the old Z400/500/550/650/750/900 series. The 1100 engine is based on the air-cooled DOHC, eight-valve inline-four that traces its roots back through the GPz1100 to the Z1000. It is the only Zephyr built with two spark plugs per cylinder.

The Zephyr started the naked/retro bike boom in the UK and Europe in the early 1990s and for a while moved Kawasaki to the 2nd best selling manufacturer of motorcycles in the UK Market.

The Zephyr Z750 engine reappeared in the late 1990s in the short lived ZR7.

The Zephyr 1100 had a Z1 restyle in its last year of sale including a return to wire wheels. Wire wheels also appeared on the 750. It was replaced in the Kawasaki UK range by the popular Z1100R styled Kawasaki ZRX1100 (1997–2005).

The ZRX series of motorcycles had a great impact on the growing market for retro style motorcycles, particularly in the United States. It was modeled after Kawasaki's superbike championship winning KZ1000R-S1 that propelled Eddie Lawson to Superbike dominance in the early 1980s.

Shuzo Matsuoka

Shuzo Matsuoka (松岡 修造) is a retired Japanese professional tennis player, sports commentator, and entertainer. A former Wimbledon quarter-finalist, Matsuoka won one singles title during his career, in Seoul in 1992. In the same year, he reached a career-high ranking of world No. 46.

Professional career
Matsuoka turned professional in 1986. In 1989, he finished runner-up in the top-level tournament at Wellington, and captured the doubles title in Auckland. 1991 saw Matsuoka achieve his career-best Masters result, when he reached the quarter-finals of the 1991 Canada Masters in Montreal, beating Michael Chang in a dramatic 3-set battle en route.

In 1992, Matsuoka became the first Japanese player to win a singles event on the ATP Tour when he captured the title in Seoul. He was also runner-up at the prestigious grass court tournament at Queen's Club that year.

Matsuoka's best performance at a Grand Slam event came at Wimbledon in 1995, where he reached the quarter-finals, beating Karel Nováček, Mark Knowles, Javier Frana and Michael Joyce before being knocked down by Pete Sampras. Matsuoka won the first set but Sampras came back to win in four sets.

Throughout the 1995 Tour, Matsuoka suffered from chronic muscle cramps. In February, during a match against Joseph Lizardo at the Davis Cup, he sustained an injury that required him to withdraw.

At the US Open of 1995, during the fourth set of his first round match against Petr Korda, Matsuoka collapsed from severe cramping in his thighs which left him writhing in pain on the court for several minutes. The rules at the time meant that Matsuoka would have forfeited the match if he had gotten medical attention, so he was left to suffer until he was defaulted for delaying the match. The incident led to a change in the rules of professional tennis to allow players to receive medical treatment during matches.

Matsuoka's career-high rankings were world No. 46 in singles (in 1992) and World No. 95 in doubles (in 1989). His career prize-money earnings totaled $1,117,112. He retired from the professional tour in April 1998.

Post-retirement
Since his retirement from tennis Matsuoka has become a popular television sports commentator in Japan. He is a sportscaster for Hodo Station, hosting interviews and segments that focus on talented athletes. He also hosts the "Shuzo Challenge", an annual tennis camp for young children created by the JTA. Kei Nishikori, former World No. 4 and Japanese No. 1, attended the camp when he was 12 years old.

Known for his passionate and energetic character, Matsuoka has also appeared in numerous variety programs, as well as in a cameo role for a television drama series. Since 2000, he has been the host of a weekly cooking mini-program, Kuishinbo! Banzai, on Fuji TV. In 2008 Matsuoka was featured in ten television commercials, tying him with Takuya Kimura for the celebrity to be featured in the greatest number of Japanese television commercials that year.

Since 2006, Matsuoka has been releasing a web series of motivational videos called For you (こんなあなたに･･･), shot at locations he visits for work. They feature Matsuoka shouting phrases of encouragement at the camera, sometimes in ridiculous or bizarre scenarios. These videos have become popular with both Japanese and Western internet users, accumulating millions of views and being edited in the form of MADs or having uplifting music added to them. In one of his most well-known videos, Matsuoka is harvesting Asian clams in the water at -10 °C and he shouts "Never give up" in English. In 2009, Matsuoka expressed excitement at the popularity of his For you series and the MADs, the latter numbering in the thousands by 2011.

Personal life
Matsuoka married former TV Tokyo announcer Emiko Taguchi in 1998, and has three children. His father, Isao Matsuoka, is chairman of Toho Co., Ltd., the Japanese film studio known for its Godzilla movies as well as numerous Akira Kurosawa films. He has a daughter, who debuted in Takarazuka Revue in 2019 as part of the 105th class (her stage name is Kishou Kazuto).

Florida State Road 56

State Road 56 (SR 56) is a six-lane state highway 6.7 mi in length that runs from SR 54 east to US Highway 301 (US 301) in Zephyrhills.

Route description
SR 56 begins at a three-way intersection with SR 54. At this point, SR 54 makes a sharp northward turn while SR 56 continues straight on the same roadway. The state road at the beginning of its route is a six-lane avenue that passes through a rural area of Wesley Chapel. After 0.9 mi, SR 56 comes to an interchange with Interstate 75 (I-75). The on-ramps allow access to both northbound and southbound I-75. After its intersection with I-75, SR 56 enters the commercial district of Wesley Chapel. It travels 2.1 mi through the town before reaching a four-way intersection with SR 581. After this intersection, the speed limit increases to 55 mph, and SR 56 travels another 3.8 mi through rural Wesley Chapel before approaching an intersection with Meadow Pointe Boulevard. The road continues to pass through rural surroundings, and crosses a pair of bridges over the New River (a tributary to the Hillsborough River), entering Zephyrhills, where it has one last major intersection with Morris Bridge Road (County Road 579, CR 579) before terminating at US 301 across from Festival Park.

History
The first segment of SR 56, which stretched from SR 54 to Bruce B. Downs Boulevard (SR/CR 581), opened on March 28, 2002, after three years of construction. The highway allows a more-direct access to I-75 2 mi north of the northern terminus of I-275, as opposed to SR 54, which parallelled I-75 for about 3 mi before meeting at its interchange.

The first phase of expansion, from Bruce B. Downs to Meadow Pointe Boulevard, began construction in March 2008 to mark the imminent opening of the Shops at Wiregrass. On July 31, 2010, after numerous delays, this extension of SR 56 opened for vehicular traffic. An extension to US 301 in Zephyrhills was being planned by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), and has been part of the plan since the highway's conception. The project was previously expected to be completed by the end of 2019, but finally reached US 301 on July 10, 2019.

A diverging diamond interchange with I-75 was initially proposed in May 2018; construction on the revamped interchange began in February 2019 and was completed in 2022.
