Cimiatene

Cimiatene (Kιμιατηνή) was an ancient division of Paphlagonia, which took its name from a hill fort, Cimiata, at the foot of the range of Olgassys. Mithridates Ktistes slightly after 302 BC made this his first stronghold, and so became master of the Pontus. The territory remained a possession of the kings of Pontus until the death of Mithridates Eupator in 63 BC and the fall of the kingdom.

Opuntia ficus-indica

Opuntia ficus-indica, the Indian fig opuntia, fig opuntia, or prickly pear, is a species of cactus that has long been a domesticated crop plant grown in agricultural economies throughout arid and semiarid parts of the world. O. ficus-indica is the most widespread and most commercially important cactus. It is grown primarily as a fruit crop, and also for the vegetable nopales and other uses. Cacti are good crops for dry areas because they efficiently convert water into biomass. O. ficus-indica, as the most widespread of the long-domesticated cactuses, is as economically important as maize and blue agave in Mexico. Opuntia species hybridize easily, but the wild origin of O. ficus-indica is likely to have been in central Mexico, where its closest genetic relatives are found.

Names
Most culinary references to the "prickly pear" refer to this species. The Spanish name tuna is also used for the fruit of this cactus and for Opuntia in general; according to Alexander von Humboldt, it was a word of Taino origin taken into the Spanish language around 1500.

Common English names for the plant and its fruit are Indian fig opuntia, Barbary fig, cactus pear, prickly pear, and spineless cactus, among many others. In Mexican Spanish, the plant is called nopal, a name that may be used in American English as culinary terms. Peninsular Spanish mostly uses higo chumbo for the fruit and chumbera for the plant.

Description

O. ficus-indica is polyploid, hermaphroditic, and autogamous. As Opuntia species grow in semiarid environments, the main limiting factor in their environment is water. They have developed several adaptations to dry conditions, notably succulence.

A perennial shrub, O. ficus-indica can grow up to 5 m in height, with thick, succulent, and oblong to spatulate stems called cladodes. It has a water-repellent and sun-reflecting waxy epidermis. Cladodes 1–2 years old produce flowers, with the fruit's colours ranging from pale green to deep red.

The plants flower in three distinct colours: white, yellow, and red. The flowers first appear in early May through the early summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and the fruits ripen from August through October. The fruits are typically eaten, minus the thick outer skin, after chilling in a refrigerator for a few hours. They have a taste similar to sweet watermelon. The bright red/purple or white/yellowish flesh contains many tiny hard seeds that are usually swallowed but should be avoided by those who have problems digesting seeds.

Human consumption
O. ficus-indica is consumed widely as food. The fruits are commercialized in many parts of the world, eaten raw, and have one of the highest concentrations of vitamin C of any fruit. The young "leaves" (actually cladodes, which technically are stems) are cooked and eaten as a vegetable known as nopalitos. They are sliced into strips, skinned or unskinned, and fried with eggs and jalapeños, served as a breakfast treat. They have a texture and flavor like green beans. The fruits or leaves can be boiled, used raw, or blended with fruit juice, cooked on a frying pan, used as a side dish with chicken, or added to tacos. Jams and jellies are produced from the fruit, which resemble strawberries and figs in color and flavor. Mexicans may use Opuntia fruit to make an alcoholic drink called colonche.

In Sicily, a prickly pear-flavored liqueur called ficodi is produced, flavored somewhat like a medicinal aperitif. In Malta, a liqueur called bajtra (the Maltese name for prickly pear) is made from this fruit, which grows wild in almost every field. On the island of Saint Helena, the prickly pear also gives its name to locally distilled liqueur, Tungi Spirit.

Fodder
The cattle industry of the Southwest United States has begun to cultivate O. ficus-indica, both as a feed source for cattle and a boundary fence. Cattle are normally fed a spineless variety of the cactus. The cactus pads are low in dry matter and crude protein but useful as a supplement in drought conditions. In addition to the food value, the moisture content adequately eliminates watering the cattle during drought. Numerous wildlife species use the prickly pear for food. In severe drought years, the spines of wild prickly pear are sometimes burned off for emergency feed.

Soil erosion prevention
O. ficus-indica is planted in hedges to provide a cheap but effective erosion control in the Mediterranean basin. Under those hedges and adjacent areas, soil physical properties, nitrogen, and organic matter are considerably improved. The structural stability of the soil is enhanced, runoff and erosion are reduced, and water storage capacity and permeability are enhanced. Prickly pear plantations also positively impact the plant growth of other species by improving severe environmental conditions, which facilitate the colonization and development of herbaceous species.

O. ficus-indica is being advantageously used in Tunisia and Algeria to slow and direct sand movement and enhance the restoration of vegetative cover, thus minimizing deterioration of built terraces with its deep and strong rooting system.

Other
The plant may be used as an ingredient in adobe to bind and waterproof roofs. O. ficus-indica (as well as other species in Opuntia and Nopalea) is cultivated in nopalries to serve as a host plant for cochineal insects, which produce desirable red and purple dyes, a practice dating to the pre-Columbian era.

Mucilage from prickly pear may work as a natural, non-toxic dispersant for oil spills.

Mexico has a semicommercial pilot plant for biofuel production from Opuntia biomass, in operation since 2016.

Distribution

Commercial use for O. ficus-indica is for the large, sweet fruits called tunas. An area with a significant tuna-growing cultivation is Mexico. The cactus grows wild and cultivated to heights of 12 –. In Namibia, O. ficus-indica is a common drought-resistant fodder plant. O. ficus-indica grows in many frost-free areas of the world, including the Southern United States. It is naturalized with widespread distribution in Greece.

Prickly pears are a massive weed problem for some parts of Australia, especially southeast Queensland, some inland parts of New South Wales, Victoria, and south-eastern and eastern South Australia. The plant is considered an invasive species in northern Africa.

Growth
Factors that limit the growth of prickly pear are rainfall, soil, atmospheric humidity, and temperature. Its minimum rainfall requirement is 200 mm per year as long as the soils are sandy and deep. The ideal growth conditions regarding rainfall are 200 – per year.

O. ficus-indica is sensitive to lack of oxygen in the root zone, requiring well-drained soils. It is similar to crassulacean acid metabolism species, which are not salt-tolerant in their root zone, and growth may cease under high salt concentration. O. ficus-indica usually grows in regions where relative humidity is above 60%, and saturation deficit occurs. It is absent in regions where less than 40% humidity occurs for more than a month. Mean daily temperature required to develop is at least 1.5–2.0 °C. At −10 to −12 °C, prickly pear growth is inhibited even if it is exposed to these temperatures only for a few minutes. The maximum temperature limit of prickly pear is above 50 °C.

Harvest and preparation
As the fruits of O. ficus-indica are delicate, they need to be carefully harvested by hand. The small spines on the fruits are removed by rubbing them on an abrasive surface or sweeping them through the grass. Before consumption, they are peeled.

The pads of the plant (mainly used as fodder) also must be harvested by hand. The pads are cut with a knife, detaching the pad from the plant in the joint. If O. ficus-indica is cultivated for forage production, spineless cultivars are preferred, but wild plants are also used as fodder. In these cases, the spines must be removed from the pads to avoid animal damage. Primarily, this is achieved by burning the spines off the pads.

Nutrients and phytochemicals
O. ficus-indica for human and animal consumption is valuable for its water content in an arid environment, containing about 85% water as a water source for wildlife. The seeds contain 3–10% protein and 6–13% of fatty acids, mainly linoleic acid. However, the seeds contained in the fruits can be unpleasant to chew because of their hardness and can lead to constipation. For this reason, some agronomic studies in Italy and Mexico have focused on decreasing the seed content of Opuntia ficus-indica fruits.

As the fruit contains vitamin C (containing 25–30 mg per 100 g), it was once used to mitigate scurvy. Opuntia contains selenium.

The red color of the fruit and juice is due to betalains, (betanin and indicaxanthin). The plant also contains flavonoids, such as quercetin, isorhamnetin, and kaempferol.

Biogeography
DNA analysis indicated O. ficus-indica was domesticated from Opuntia species native to central Mexico. The Codex Mendoza, and other early sources, show Opuntia cladodes, as well as cochineal dye (which must be cultivated on Opuntia), in Aztec tribute rolls. The plant spread to many parts of the Americas in pre-Columbian times. Since Columbus, it has spread to many parts of the world, especially the Mediterranean, where it has become naturalized.

Cultural significance
The prickly pear appears in the coat of arms of Mexico which appears on the flag of Mexico. It is also the official plant of Texas by legislation from 1995. In Israel it symbolizes Jews born in Israel - sabra or tzabar. The Palestinians also view it as a national symbol.

Smiřice

Smiřice (Smirschitz) is a town in Hradec Králové District in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 3,100 inhabitants.

Administrative parts
The villages of Rodov and Trotina are administrative parts of Smiřice.

Geography
Smiřice is located about 9 km north of Hradec Králové. It lies in an agricultural landscape of the East Elbe Table. The highest point is the flat hill Lískovec at 296 m above sea level. The town is situated on the right bank of the Elbe River.

History
The first written mention of Smiřice is from 1361. It was originally a settlement between two branches of the Elbe with a fortress, which was later rebuilt to a castle. Smiřice was the centre of a large estate owned by various noble families, most notably by the Smiřickýs of Smiřice (until 1476), the Trčkas of Lípa (1498–1636) and the Sternbergs (1685–1780). In 1659, the village was promoted to a town.

Transport
The D11 motorway runs next to the town.

Smiřice is located on the railway line heading from Pardubice and Hradec Králové to Jaroměř.

Sights
The main landmark of the town is the Smiřice Castle. The fortress, which formerly stood on the site of the castle, was most likely rebuilt in the first third of the 17th century. Artistic modifications were made around 1700 by the Sternbergs. Today the castle is privately owned and is gradually reconstructed.

A notable monument is the castle chapel of the Epiphany. This large Baroque chapel was probably built according to design by Christoph Dientzenhofer between 1699 and 1711.

Twin towns – sister cities
Smiřice is twinned with:

Alignment error
Hi, Ed g2s! I think your last edit had an inadvertant side effect.

The football kit box is currently unable to "align left". See here, for example – though both kits are aligned left, they actually appear on the right of the page. Also, if you preview them next to each other, they will appear one below the other, rather than what it should be (and what it was before your last edit) - next to one another. Do you think you could have a look at that, please? Thanks in advance! BigSteve (talk) 14:05, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
 * You are absolutely right, the align parameter is simply gone - since two years ago!... Since then, it uses the "first parameter", such as instead of the original  . I'll try and fix it, although some people might of course be using the "first parameter" standard now. We'll see; I can always change it then to make it accept both parameters. —Sygmoral (talk) 17:12, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Georges Catroux

Georges Albert Julien Catroux (29 January 1877 – 21 December 1969) was a French Army general and diplomat who served in both World War I and World War II, and served as Grand Chancellor of the Légion d'honneur from 1954 to 1969.

Life
Catroux was born in Limoges, Haute-Vienne. He was the son of a career officer who had risen through the ranks. He was educated at the Prytanée National Militaire, and entered the École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr in 1896.

In the early years of his distinguished military career, Catroux moved from Algeria (where he met Charles de Foucauld and then Lyautey) to Indochina. In 1915, while commanding a battalion, he was taken prisoner by the Germans. During his time in captivity, Catroux met Charles de Gaulle, who was then a captain.

After World War I, he became a member of the French military mission to Arabia, and then served in Morocco, Algeria and the Levant.

In July 1939, Catroux was appointed Governor General of French Indochina, and in August 1939, one month before the declaration of war, took over from a senior civil servant, Jules Brévié. Paris wanted to send a strong signal to the Far East on the eve of hostilities. However, after the first Japanese ultimatum of 17 June 1940, and following disagreements with the new Vichy government, Catroux was ordered to hand over his post to Admiral Jean Decoux on 25 June. He initially ignored the order, and only resigned on 20 July.

He then chose to join de Gaulle, who was by now leader of the Free France movement. As a five-star general, Catroux was the most senior officer of the French Army to transfer allegiance.

De Gaulle appointed him General Delegate of Free France in the Levant on 24 June 1941. He took control of Syria for the Free French after the defeat of Vichy General Henri Dentz and the Armistice of Saint Jean d'Acre. Shortly after taking up the post, Catroux, in the name of the Free French movement, recognised the independence of Syria. De Gaulle subsequently appointed him Governor General of Algeria in 1943-44.

Officially honored as a French liberation fighter, Catroux was Minister for North Africa in the first government of Charles de Gaulle from 9 September 1944 to 21 October 1945, and became ambassador to the USSR in 1945-48.

After the unrest in Morocco, Catroux negotiated the return of the sultan Mohammed V in 1955.

As Resident Minister in Algeria for the government of Guy Mollet in 1956, he was unable to take up his post because of demonstrations in Algiers by French residents on 6 February.

Catroux presided over a board of inquiry, the Catroux Commission, that investigated the French defeat at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu. He was also the judge in the military tribunal which tried the generals involved in the Algiers putsch of 1961.

He died in Paris in 1969.

Micropunk
Hey, I saw this new article you created. Can we get more context here? If this term is in general usage, how would anyone know where it came from? You might want to read WP:NOT; it's possible this article is the type of thing covered there. If so, no big deal, but the article will probably get deleted. Please let us know more about this so we know what should be done with the article. Thanks! Friday (talk) 23:44, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm very glad you're here and I'm sure you have a lot to contribute, but unfortunately we can't have articles like Akbar (band). This is no offense to the band, but it lacks verifiability and may be considered vanity by some editors. Please take a look at WP:NOT before creating new articles. Friday (talk) 23:53, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry about that. I know them and they're pretty well known around them parts, I thought an article may be interesting, but I do think it falls under vanity. Delete at will. I didn't know we couldn't have definitions either. Micropunk is a well known term around here and carries many connotations, but perhaps it should be removed. Dmron 00:10, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for being understanding, and it's not a big deal. The band almost certainly fails WP:MUSIC guidelines.  Micropunk I don't know anything about, but I found very little by googling on it.  The thing to keep in mind is that Wikipedia is never meant to be the first place a particular thing is documented.  It's meant to rely on other previously existing sources.  I'll take care of getting them removed.  And again, welcome, and I hope you don't get put off by this.  Your contributions to other articles look valuable and we're happy to have you here.

Hi, I just saw your message (didn't notice it at first as there was another new one after it). As far as "redundant" goes, well, I think in the Corvallis article, there was already a link to it, so two made it redundant. I'm in the middle of something, but I'll take a look at why you think it should be added back when I get a chance. Katr67 03:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * BTW, thanks for taking this up in talk instead of just continually adding the link. OK, you say newtowns.com is your site. Well, please read Links normally to be avoided, especially "A website that you own or maintain". I deleted your link from Corvallis when I saw it appear the second time, as adding one's link more than once (at the top of the list) is behavior of typical a link spammer. At that time, I didn't analyze the other links on the page. I did just go ahead and delete the "welcome to Corvallis" link, since it "does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article...would have once it becomes an example of brilliant prose" (see link above), while retaining the tourism link, as it is quasi-governmental: "The Bureau is a nonprofit 5O1 (C6) tourism development organization which contracts with the City of Corvallis to develop long term tourism growth compatible with the Corvallis lifestyle." Whatever the "Corvallis lifestyle" is. The hiking link I'm deleting on the grounds that it "contains factually inaccurate material or unverified original research." I think your site might fall under WP:OR as well. If you really think your link still fits on the Corvallis page, I'd take it up and the Corvallis Talk page and see what the other editors say. Thanks! Katr67 20:11, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Ahmad Kamal Faridi

69.30.97.156, welcome to Wikipedia! This is interesting work about a writer little known in the West.

One spot of advice: with pages for characters from novels, it's the convention here to lead with an introduction (like the edit I just made) telling where the character comes from. The Felix Leiter page for the James Bond series character is a good example. This is why Splash put a context tag on the page. Tearlach 19:46, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Tearlach, I am now registered as Safi-fan. Thanks for keeping an eye on my articles on Ibn-e-Safi and characters of his novels. I am a die-hard fan of the writer and has read his books several times. Being too excited, I made too many changes and realized that I have created many versions of articles in the process. I am reading all the books by Ibn-e-Safi again now and am in the process of writing a thorough article on him. I hope it will be a good addition to Wikipedia. I am planning to review Wikipedia Rules so that I can keep up with the standards.

Hi, I am a safi fan from Islamabad, Pakistan. I have read jasoosi dunia as well as Imran series several times. I am really inspired by the characters of Colonel Faridi and Ali Imran. The interesting thing is that my name "Ali Imran" chosen by my father is after inspiration of one character of Ibne Safi. He was a great writer of century and his books are most red in sub-continent. I try to opt few positive things from the character of Colonel Faridi and hope that I could succeed.

Mr. Garrison's Father (South Park)
Delete as non-notable South Park fancruft or merge to the relevant episode if you must. Soltak 19:51, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Cruft, whatever text is here can be a mention in the episode. SchmuckyTheCat 00:23, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This title isn't even useful as a redirect.  Also, would anyone who weighs in here leave word with the original author that he isn't being picked on, but rather being naughty?  This is just the latest in a long line of these sorts of contribs. - Lucky 6.9 02:36, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect--this is a useful redir (for example, someone might want to learn more about the episode containing Mr. Garrison's father, but not know the ep. title. Clearly doesn't deserve its own article, however. Maybe we should start Minor characters in South Park? Meelar (talk) 15:00, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Atypical gender identities

Cleanup request
You have put up a message header on Atypical Gender Identies requesting improvements. Unfortunately you have given no idea of what you want. A clear message on the discussion page for that article would be greatly appreciated. 金 (Kim) 19:26, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Pearle did not add the cleanup request; User:Bcat did, at 20:01, 28 June 2005. Pearle is merely sorting these requests by month, which is why the edit summary says "Changing  to  " and why the tag now says "This article has been tagged since June 2005."  As far as I can tell, Bcat did not leave a message on Cleanup/June or this talk page specifying what type of cleanup is needed.  Skimming this article, though, it needs some wikification, including section headers and more links. It is also not NPOV, e.g. "would serve to deceive".  But more importantly, there is enough overlap with gender identity, intersexuality, and sex to completely merge this text into those articles.  If that's not done, then all of those articles would need to link here and probably some content from them moved in or copied. -- Beland 19:52, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

The article was split off from "Gender identity" because people could not even handle the vanilla cases clearly and objected to inclusion of the non-vanilla cases. Gender identities involve two things: (1) how individuals feel about themselves (e.g., "I am a woman trapped in a man's body.") (2) how communities categorize individuals ("I don't care what Marie says, he's got male genitals and he's a man.") Intersexuality involves "ambiguous" genitalia. People with atypical gender identities don't have to have atypical genitalia; as far as I know it wouldn't be correct even to assert that they often have atypical genitalia. So what happens to objective discussion of phenomena if we create the appearance of a connection between two phenomena? And the whole point of talking about gender in addition to talking about sex, starting with John Money, was that how one feels about oneself as a "man," "woman," "hijra," or whatever, often is discordant with what other people observe about one's chromosomal sex, external genitalia, internal genitalia, etc., etc. I strongly disagree with the suggestion to merge articles. If anything needs to be done it is to change the title to "Atypical gender identities and roles" since the interests of individuals and societies most often come into conflict when there is a perceived discord between one's gender identity and one's gender role. The individual says, "I am X and should behave in an X way," and the community says, "No, you are Y and should behave in a Y way." Very few societies have been tolerant enough to refrain from trying to compel the individual to conform to the demands of the society. Very few families fail to experience discomfort when "John" decides e is a girl. We need an article that says, "Even though societies all over the world segregate individuals into the categories of 'men' and 'women,' there are societies that make a place at the table for people who say, as the Hijra in India have recently done on the Indian political scene, that they are neither men nor women but something else and deserve the right to live a third kind of social existence." 金 (Kim) 17:58, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Sex vs Gender as well as their Identification
Sex is a concrete noun (refering to male, female, intersex). Gender is an abstract noun (refering to masculine, feminine, androgynous). However, laypeople sometimes borrow the word Gender to refer to concrete noun (male/female/intersex). Sexuality is an abstract noun. Sexuality and Gender can be used interchangably. Sexuality can refer to sexual-identity (masculine, feminine, androgynous), sexual-orientation (heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual), and sexual-receptivity (celibacy, hypersexuality) depending on the context. Gender Identity and Sexual Identity can also be used interchangably. aCute 04:36, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

 * 1) For the abstract usage, atypical gender identities should be merged with both gender identity and sexual identity.
 * 2) For the concrete usage, atypical gender identities should be merged with both sex and intersexuality.

aCute 04:46, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I just went over the difference between gender identity and sexual identity and why they cannot be used interchangably in the talk page of a related article where it was in response to aCute, so I won't go over it again here. Suffice it to say, there are real reasons for keeping the terms separate.

 * There is a reason for this article -- when we were all trying to get gender identity and gender role articles straightened out, and separated from sex, most people were unhappy with discussing the "kinky" kinds of gender identities in the midst of trying to explain the expected kind of thing clearly (for the average reader). Before we "deport" chunks of this article to articles where they will not be welcomed, we should try to get a more complete sampling of the atypical identities and roles. There is a reason for keeping some gender identity and sexual identity references in the same article along with sex and intersexuality. When one person's sex (as defined by the capacity to produce sperm or eggs) is known, the person has a sexual identity. Pigeons on the street have sex, but they rarely have sexual identities because the observer cannot assign an identity "from the outside." It is generally much easier for humans to have putative sexual identities.  When one's sexual identity is harmonious with both one's awareness of gender identity and one's assumption of gender role, and, moreover, one's community is satisfied that everything matches properly, there would rarely if ever be any question of atypical gender identities.

 * Generally, an atypical gender identity and/or an atypical gender role will occur when there is a mis-match between the person's sexual identity and the person's gender role/identity. Individuals with male external genitalia who do not perceive themselves as men and who act as something other than men are conceptually difficult for most people in society to deal with. Intersexual and transsexual individuals are conceptually difficult to deal with because they are existing and living outside the limited view of reality that set up the original categories and expectations.  The hijra and other such groups are probably the most well understood of these special cases. I wonder what even more unusual gender role/identities there may be in this world. 金 (Kim) 07:10, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Hopeless case
This article is so hopelessly bad, that I think it needs to be rewritten entirely. Until then, I make it into a redir. Among the points against it:
 * Intersex has per se nothing to do with having an atypical gender identity. Even if it had, this part would belong to Intersex.
 * How one manages to give examples for AGI and not mention western transgender people is something I don't think I want to understand.
 * Hijra - Exactly what is " ... and frequently are transexual as a part of the ritual requirement of their gender role" supposed to mean? It does not make any sense.
 * Winkte - if refering to Native Americans in general, this is the wrong term. The proper one is Two-Spirit.
 * Yinyang ren 陰陽人 - The example gives no indication at all of an AGI - it sounds like a plain bisexual man. (And it is directly copied from the article.) -- AlexR 23:21, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Great; I contribute to an article and it vanishes the next day... (I added the subsection on Polynesian fa'afafine). Redirecting this to gender identities is absurd: the latter does not adress the issue of non-Western identities which happen to be outside the male/female bounds. If it's going to claim to be an encylcopedia article, that needs remedying. I'll see if I can recover what I wrote in this article, and transfer it to gender identities. Aridd 15:19, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, well, and this article was not only an almagation of often rather unrelated ideas, it did not bother to mention western AGIs, either. Well, you see what I wrote above. If you want this to be an article again instead of a redit, why not write it? The old one was hopelessly bad. This of course does not preclude a new one from being written. -- AlexR 16:10, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Vivekananda Rock Memorial

Vivekananda Rock Memorial is a monument and popular tourist attraction in Kanyakumari, India's southernmost tip. The memorial stands on one of the two rocks located about 500 meters off mainland of Vavathurai, Tamil Nadu. It was built in 1970 in honour of Swami Vivekananda, who is said to have attained enlightenment on the rock.

According to legends, it was on this rock that Goddess Kanyakumari (Parvathi) performed tapas in devotion of lord Shiva. A meditation hall known as Dhyana Mandapam is also attached to the memorial for visitors to meditate. The design of the mandapa incorporates different styles of temple architecture from all over India. The rocks are surrounded by the Laccadive Sea where the three oceans Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea meets. The memorial consists of two main structures, the Vivekananda Mandapam and the Shripada Mandapam.

Legend
It is believed that Swami Vivekananda, swam across the seashore in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu to reach the rock mid-sea and he meditated for three days and nights on the rock until he is said to have attained enlightenment there a basis for Kanyakumari resolve of 1892. There are several statements in many books that Swami Vivekananda swam and got enlightenment at this place.

Initiation
In January 1962, on the occasion of Swami Vivekananda's birth centenary, a group of people formed the Kanyakumari Committee, whose objective was to put up a memorial on the rock and a pedestrian bridge leading to the rock. Almost simultaneously, the Ramakrishna Mission in Madras began planning this memorial. However, this news was not taken in good taste by a sizable population of the local Catholic fishermen. They put up a big Cross on the rock, visible from the shore.

This led to protests by the Hindu population, who said the rock was a place of worship for Hindus. A judicial probe ordered by the Madras (now Chennai) government stated in unequivocal terms that the rock was Vivekananda Rock and that the Cross was a trespass. Amid all this acrimony, the Cross was removed secretly in the night. The situation turned volatile, and the rock was declared a prohibited area, with armed guards patrolling it.

The government realized that the rock was turning into an area of dispute, with Hindus claiming it to be the Vivekananda Rock and the Christians claiming that it was St. Xavier's Rock. It decreed that although the rock was Vivekananda Rock, there would be no memorial constructed on it. The then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, M. Bhaktavatsalam, said that only a tablet declaring that the rock was associated with Swami Vivekananda could be put up, and nothing else. With government's permission, the tablet was installed on the rock on 17 January 1963.

Role of Eknath Ranade
The first step Eknath Ranade took on being asked to take charge of the Rock Memorial work was to ascertain that this effort had the full support of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission. He was made the Organising Secretary of the Vivekananda Rock Memorial Committee, so that he was officially in charge of the Rock Memorial mission.

The immediate obstacles were Bhaktavatsalam's stand that he would not allow the memorial to come up as Humayun Kabir, the Union Minister for Cultural Affairs, had said that the natural beauty of the Rock would be spoiled.

Kabir's constituency was Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). When Ranade publicised in Kolkata that it was Kabir who was against the creation of a Memorial of one of the greatest sons of Bengal, there was such a hue and cry that Kabir had to do a volte-face. However, to prevail over Bhaktavatsalam, only Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's support would do.

To that end, on Lal Bahadur Shastri's advice, Ranade camped in Delhi. In three days, he collected the signatures of 323 Members of Parliament in a show of all-round support for the Vivekananda Rock Memorial, which was presented to the Prime Minister. Bhaktavatsalam had no option now but to allow the construction of the Rock Memorial.

Bhaktavatsalam had given permission only for a small 15 × 15-foot shrine. Knowing his reverence for the Paramacharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham, Ranade approached the latter for suggesting the design of the Rock Memorial. Bhaktavatsalam unhesitatingly agreed to the larger design (130 feet and $1 1/2$ inches × 56 feet) approved by the Paramacharya.

Once all the political hurdles were removed, construction was underway. Ranade was in the forefront facing all the challenges that came his way: to establish scientifically that the Rock was structurally sound and could support such a huge structure on it; the logistics of quarrying and transporting large blocks of stone from great distances, and from the shore to the Rock; provision of water and power supplies; the growing demand for skilled artisans, craftsmen, and labor; building of jetty platforms on the rock and the shore (the pedestrian footbridge idea to the Rock was dropped); the de-silting around the jetty platform areas to enable bigger crafts to approach the shore, and so on.

The biggest and ever-present challenge, however, was that of financing the whole operation. Ranade's belief in the success of the Rock Memorial mission was so strong, that he never slowed the pace of work when funds were in paucity. He brushed aside the discouragement of others whose belief was not as strong and started a fund-campaign.

Ranade believed that as the Vivekananda Rock Memorial was a national monument; every Indian should be invited to contribute to its construction. He approached almost every state government and asked for their contribution, making a special effort to go to the north-eastern states of Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh so that they could also feel a part of the national endeavor. The bulk of the contributions came from the general public. Ranade launched the campaign of one-rupee folders throughout the nation, which was used to mobilize the donations of the common man, starting from as tiny an amount as a rupee.

The Vivekananda Rock Memorial was inaugurated in 1970 and dedicated to the nation.

The Living Memorial
The establishment of Vivekananda Kendra—the Living Memorial alongside the stone structure of the Rock Memorial—was mentioned in 1964. After the groundwork of about nine years, Vivekananda Kendra was officially founded on 7 January 1972 (the 108th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda by the Hindu calendar). On that day, as the sun rose, a saffron flag with Om inscribed on it was unfurled on the Vivekananda Rock Memorial to celebrate the founding of the Vivekananda Kendra: a spiritually oriented service mission of a non-monastic order.

The tradition of penance was to be continued by young men and women coming as Karyakartas of Vivekananda Kendra to spread the following message of Swami Vivekananda: "A hundred thousand men and women, fired with the zeal of holiness, fortified with eternal faith in the Lord, and nerved to lion's courage by their sympathy for the poor and the fallen and the downtrodden, will go over the length and breadth of the land, preaching the gospel of salvation, the gospel of help, the gospel of social raising up, the gospel of equality."

The twin objectives of Vivekananda Kendra are man-making and nation-building. Ranade decided that Vivekananda Kendra was to be a cadre-based organization. Young men and women whose hearts long to serve the nation would be provided the opportunity and the right platform to serve God in man.

When Swami Vivekananda Rock Memorial was blueprinted, it was modeled by E. Thanumalayan, a student of the S. T. Hindu College, Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu. He modeled it with paraffin wax. The Memorial is the fusion of West Bengal and Tamil Nadu architecture and the design of Ramakrishna Math, Belur, West Bengal. He was deeply appreciated by Bhaktavatsalam for its aesthetic quality.

Vivekananda Mandapam
This mandapa, which is erected in honor of Vivekananda, consists of the following sections:

 * Dhyana Mandapam is the meditation Hall with six adjacent rooms.
 * Sabha Mandapam is the Assembly Hall comprising Pratima Mandapam (statue section), two rooms, a corridor, and an open prakaram (outer courtyard) round the Sabha Mandapam.
 * Mukha Mandapam

Shripada Mandapam
This square hall consists of the following structures.

 * Garbha Graham
 * Inner Prakaram
 * Outer Prakaram
 * Outer Platform

Both the Mandapams are so designed that the vision of Vivekananda in the statue would be seen direct towards the Shripadam. There is also Sri Padaparai Mandapam which is a shrine erected at the spot where the footprint of the Virgin Goddess is seen on the rock.

The statue of Swami Vivekananda was sculpted by Narayanrao Sonavadekar, a sculptor and a professor at the J. J. School of Arts, Mumbai.

Giovanni Lanfranco

Giovanni Lanfranco (26 January 1582 – 30 November 1647) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period.

Biography
Giovanni Gaspare Lanfranco was born in Parma, the third son of Stefano and Cornelia Lanfranchi, and was placed as a page in the household of Count Orazio Scotti. His talent for drawing allowed him to begin an apprenticeship with the Bolognese artist Agostino Carracci, brother of Annibale Carracci, working alongside fellow Parmese Sisto Badalocchio in the local Farnese palaces. When Agostino died in 1602, both young artists moved to Annibale's large and prominent Roman workshop, which was then involved in working on the Galleria Farnese in the Palazzo Farnese gallery ceiling. Lanfranco is considered to have contributed to the panel of Polyphemus and Galatea (replica in Doria Gallery) and some minor works in the room.

Afterwards, while still technically a member of the Carracci studio of Carracci, Lanfranco, along with Guido Reni and Francesco Albani, frescoed the Herrera (San Diego) Chapel in San Giacomo degli Spagnoli (1602–1607). He also participated in the fresco decoration of San Gregorio Magno and of the Cappella Paolina in Santa Maria Maggiore.

Independent work
By 1605, Lanfranco was obtaining some independent commissions; for example, he contributed paintings to the Camerino degli Eremiti in the Palazzetto Farnese (also known as Casino della Morte), once a low building on the Via Giulia, adjacent to the church of Santa Maria dell’Orazione e Morte. The camerino had been constructed by Cardinal Odoardo Farnese, next to his palace and gardens, and was destroyed in 1734 to allow for the construction of the aforementioned church. Of the canvases and frescoes by Domenichino, Girolamo Pulzone, Paul Bril, and Lanfranco, some are conserved in the new church. Among other works, Lanfranco contributed to this series, the eccentric Translation of the Magdalen.

After the death of Annibale Carracci in 1609, and with the Emilian school of painting temporarily out of favor, Lanfranco returned to his native Parma for two years. There, he met Bartolomeo Schedoni and painted the altarpiece for the Ognissanti church. Lanfranco also produced paintings and altarpieces in Orvieto, Vallerano, Leonessa and Fermo.

Return to Rome
After his return to Rome by 1612, Lanfranco competed with other Carracci students and assistants—including Reni, Albani, and Domenichino—for Roman patronage. Reni, however, was soon to depart for Naples and then Bologna. During the following decades in Rome, through the 1620s, Lanfranco and Domenichino engaged in a rivalry for the main fresco commissions. A measure of the competition can be gauged from Lanfranco's public accusation, not wholly without merit, that Domenichino had plagiarized Agostino Carracci in his painting of the Confession of St. Jerome, now in the Vatican.

Unlike Domenichino, Lanfranco was fairly eclectic in terms of style but preferred a visionary, theatrical approach suitable for the ceiling paintings gaining currency in the early 17th century. His works suggest some influence from the late work of Ludovico Carracci, a cousin of Agostino and Annibale, and possibly from Caravaggio—as, for example, in the altarpiece depicting the Inspiration of Saint Luke at Piacenza (1611)—though the stylistic importance of Caravaggio to Lanfranco has been disputed. In other works, he assimilated and adapted the style of his compatriot and predecessor of the 16th century, Antonio Correggio, as in his Adoration of the Shepherds painted before 1608 for the Marchese Clemente Sannesi and his brother the Cardinal Jacopo.

Lanfranco's studio became quite active, painting frescoes in the Palazzo Mattei and decorating the Buongiovanni Chapel in Sant'Agostino (1616), which includes a Correggesque Assumption, along with easel paintings. His Annunciation (1615) in San Carlo ai Catinari in regarded as one of his best works. Soon, Lanfranco became the pre-eminent painter of the circle of Pope Paul V. He painted frescoes for the Palazzo Costaguti and a large ceiling fresco in quadratura at the Villa Borghese, The Gods of Olympus or also called Council of the Gods. In the following year, Lanfranco together with Agostino Tassi and Carlo Saraceni decorated the Sala de' Corazzieri and Sala Regia of the Palazzo del Quirinale. His formal Presentation at the Temple has the sunlit Carraci-like style. In 1622, he painted the Ectasy of Saint Margaret of Cortona (Galleria Platina, Palazzo Pitti, Florence) as an altarpiece for Santa Maria Nuova in Cortona, where Margaret lived and died. The painting could well have inspired the pose in Bernini's famous St Theresa in ecstasy. In 1623–1624, he decorated the Sacchetti Chapel in San Giovanni dei Fiorentini in Rome.

While Paul V's successor, Gregory XV, preferred works by Guercino and Domenichino, Lanfranco won commissions for the Crucifix Chapel in Santa Maria in Vallicella. Lanfranco's crowning masterpiece, however, and one of the major church fresco decoration of the late 1620s, was his Assumption of the Virgin frescoed on the dome of Sant'Andrea della Valle. Completed in 1627 in sotto in su perspective, the crowded array of figures is a landmark in Baroque painting with bright golden coloration and energy. Lanfranco was influenced by Correggio's pioneering decoration of the Duomo di Parma.

Urban VIII commissioned him a large fresco portraying St. Peter Walking on Waters (1628, now fragmentary), for which Lanfranco gained the title of Knight of the Order of Christ. In 1631, Lanfranco was named Prince (Principe) of the Academy of Saint Luke, the artist's guild in Rome. There is also a fresco by Giovanni Lanfranco above the monument of Pope Clement VIII in Santa Maria Maggiore in (Rome).

From 1634 to 1646, Lanfranco began decorating the dome and pendentives of the Jesuit church of the Gesù Nuovo in Naples in 1634–1637. In 1637–1638, he frescoed the nave and choir of the Certosa of San Martino. This was followed by the decoration of Santi Apostoli in 1638–1646 and the dome of the Cappella of San Gennaro in the Cathedral of Naples. These works would invigorate the efforts of the grand manner Napolitan painters of the second half of the 17th century: Preti, Giordano and Solimena. He died in Rome in 1647, where his last work was apse of San Carlo ai Catinari.

Legacy and critical assessment
Lanfranco was a versatile and eclectic trainee of the Carracci, and continued their tradition with dramatic flair compared to the often restrained Domenichino, who mimicked mainly Annibale's grand manner. Lanfranco explored new styles, bridged traditions, painted in both mannerist and baroque styles, using a tenebrist and the colorist palette. Among his pupils was Giacinto Brandi.
