"Woody the Warrior"?
Is there someway to work into the article the irony of the school naming their teams "Warriors" and selecting "Woody the Warrior" as a mascot, given the position of Woodsworth when it came time to debate the question of war against the Third Reich in the House of Commons?Ab.chaplin (talk) 13:32, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Assunpink Creek

Assunpink Creek is a 22.9 mi tributary of the Delaware River in western New Jersey in the United States. The name Assunpink is from the Lenape Ahsën'pink, meaning "stony, watery place".

Course
The Assunpink Creek is born in rural Monmouth County, about a mile north of Clarksburg. Flowing westwards, it soon enters the Assunpink Wildlife Management Area, where it has been dammed to form Rising Sun Lake. After an unnamed tributary enters from the south, it enters another reservoir, Assunpink Lake. The two lakes, as well as Stone Tavern Lake on the tributary, are popular fishing spots.

Below Assunpink Lake, the creek flows under Old York Road and flows into Mercer County. New Sharon Branch enters the creek from the south at Carsons Mills. The creek now turns northwest, passing under the New Jersey Turnpike and then U.S. Route 130, just southwest of Windsor. Here, it finally exits the Wildlife Management Area.

Still further northwest, the creek enters Mercer County Park. Bridegroom Run enters from the north side as the creek turns west and is impounded to form Mercer Lake. A small wildlife management area, the Van Nest Refuge, lies along the stream just below the dam. It then passes under Quaker Bridge Road and Interstate 295 before turning southwest and paralleling the Delaware and Raritan Canal. The creek now enters a heavily built-up area, with the Shabakunk Creek and Miry Run entering just above Whitehead Mill Pond, and Pond Run entering near Hutchinson Mills. The now-canalized stream flows past the Trenton Transit Center and finally empties into the Delaware River in Trenton.

History
On January 2, 1777, during the Second Battle of Trenton of the American Revolutionary War, soldiers of the Continental Army and supporting militias, under the direct command of General George Washington, held a defensive line along the south shore of Assunpink Creek south of Trenton, stretching from the mouth of the creek up to Philip's Mill. The American soldiers successfully repelled several charges by British and Hessian soldiers across a stone bridge over the creek, and also repelled an attempt to ford the creek near its mouth.

"in 1984 the High School of Commerce was closed and business programs were added to Ottawa Tech."

Is there a citation available for the above statement? I attended Ottawa Tech from 1985 to 1987 and The High-School of Commerce was very much active at that time. (The bus I took home every day had a stop along the way to pick up kids from Commerce.) Also, I don't recall any business programs being offered at Ottawa Tech during the time that I was there.

 * What's more: The Wiki page for the High School of Commerce claims that the school was closed in 1990... so, which on is accurate?

"The academic record was poor" - OTHS was one of the only schools that did not offer "Basic" level courses. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.26.170.141 (talk) 17:41, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Roth, Bavaria

Roth  (formerly Roth bei Nürnberg) is a town in Bavaria, Germany, the capital of the Roth District. It is located about 25 km south of Nuremberg.

History
The town was first mentioned in documents in the year 1060, but settlements at its location date back much further. During the Middle Ages the town was given the right to grant asylum within the city walls. Later this tradition attracted Huguenot refugees who had to flee France because of religious persecution. They brought with them knowledge about the making of wires and founded an industry in Roth which exists until today. It plays host to a yearly Jazz & Blues festival and the Datev Challenge Roth triathlon race.

Main sights
The main tourist attraction is the Ratibor Castle, a castle built as a hunting lodge by the Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach between 1535 and 1538.

After years of neglect it was sold in 1792 to Johann Philipp Stieber. After being used for nearly a century as court of justice and factory it was refurbished as residence for the Stieber family (created Barons of Stieber by Ludwig III of Bavaria in 1917) between 1892 and 1916.

Different styles were used to redecorate the castle varying from German Renaissance to Louis XVI. The masterpiece of the central block of the four wing castle is the so-called "Prunksaal" with a decoration in Neo-Venetian-Baroque. The painter Ferdinand Wagner the Younger was responsible for most of the paintings in the castle. In 1942 Freifrau Minna von Stieber offered the castle to the town of Roth as a present. Today a museum, a restaurant, the municipal library and the offices and meeting rooms of the town council occupy most parts of the castle.

The Protestant Church was built in the Late Gothic Style between 1511 and 1513. The older Romanesque Tower was incorporated in the building. In 1738 the church was redecorated by Johann David Steingruber in a severe Baroque Style typical for Protestant churches at that time.

After the fire of 1878 a new Neo-Gothic tower was built in the middle axis of the church. Altar and other furnishings were also added during that time.

Twin towns – sister cities
Roth is twinned with:
 * 🇨🇿 Opava, Czech Republic
 * 🇵🇱 Racibórz, Poland
 * 🇩🇪 Regen, Germany
 * 🇨🇳 Xinbei (Changzhou), China
 * 🇬🇧 Brentwood Essex, Great Britain

Notable people

 * Johann Matthias Gesner (1691–1761), classical scholar and schoolmaster
 * Ralf Speth (born 1955), British-German automotive executive
 * Patrick Lange (born 1981), conductor

Crosswicks Creek

Crosswicks Creek is a 25.3 mi tributary of the Delaware River in Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean Counties in central and southern New Jersey.

Description
Crosswicks Creek watershed encompasses portions of four counties in south-central New Jersey. Its headwaters flow from the Fort Dix and McGuire Air Force Base Military Reserves in a northwesterly direction and then turn sharply south where it meets the Delaware River at Bordentown Township. With jets roaring overhead and shells being test fired, the Crosswicks Creek watershed has a set of unique concerns and is the focus of many protection and restoration activities.

In the mid 1990s, the New Jersey Department of Transportation opened the missing segment of I-295, which has had a significantly impact on the mouth of the Crosswicks. This area, known as the Hamilton Marsh, has had significant portions filled in to make way for the freeway. During construction, new wetlands were also created, but at the expense of established woodlands. There may also be interference with wildlife movement patterns due to the large freeway's presence in the marsh. In light of these activities, there is support for the development of a Hamilton Marsh Greenway.

Fossils
Although most of the creek does not yield particularly abundant deposits of fossils, fossils from the Pleistocene and Cretaceous eras have been found. There exist patches of particularly fossiliferous deposits among mostly non-fossiliferous deposits throughout the creek's path.

Statistics

 * Length: 25 mi
 * Watershed Area: 146 sqmi
 * Headwaters: Fort Dix and McGuire Military Bases and Lahaway Creek in the Colliers Mill Wildlife Management Area
 * NJ Stream Classification: FW-1 at headwaters, FW-2 Nontrout for the rest of watershed

Aue, Saxony

Aue is a small town in Germany at the outlet of the river Schwarzwasser into the river Zwickauer Mulde in the Ore Mountains, and has roughly 16,000 inhabitants. It was merged into the new town Aue-Bad Schlema in January 2019. Aue was the administrative seat of the former district of Aue-Schwarzenberg in Saxony, and is part of the Erzgebirgskreis since August 2008. It belongs to the Silberberg Town League (Städtebund Silberberg)

The mining town has been known for its copper, titanium, and kaolinite. The town was a machine-building and cutlery manufacturing centre in East German times and is now developing tourism, as the Silver Road (Silberstraße) runs through town. The town is also known for the football club FC Erzgebirge Aue, which is currently playing in the 3rd German division (3. Bundesliga)

Aue was until 1991 a centre of the Sowjetisch-Deutsche Aktiengesellschaft Wismut (“Soviet-German Wismut Corporation”, or SDAG Wismut).

Neighbouring communities
Bordering communities are Bad Schlema, Bernsbach, Bockau, Zschorlau, the towns of Lauter, Lößnitz and Schneeberg in the district of Aue-Schwarzenberg as well as the town of Hartenstein in the Zwickauer Land.

Climate
Aue's average air temperature is 8.0 °C, and the yearly precipitation is 790 mm.

History
The town's first mention came in 1219 when it was named in a document as Bertoldus prepositus de Owa. Owa, later also Awe or Aw referred to the meadow (although Aue in German actually means “floodplain”) at the forks of the Schwarzwasser und Zwickauer Mulde, where the first settlers had their homes next to the small monastery of Zelle, founded in 1173. In 1479, tin and silver mining began, leading to an upswing in the town's fortunes. In 1526, the Auerhammer (ironworks), later called Eisenwerk and now a constituent community of Aue, had its first documentary mention.

The first St. Nicholas' Church, of which no details have been passed down, was located on the former church square, the Kirchplatz (the present Neumarkt) and must have been replaced by a new building between 1625 and 1628. On 4 August 1633 this building, together with a large part of the town, was destroyed in a raid by imperial troops. By 1636 the church had been temporarily rebuilt.

In 1627, Aue was granted market rights by Elector Johann Georg I of Saxony for a yearly market on Saint Bartholomew's Day (27 August), and in 1632 for a second, the Katharinenmarkt, on 25 November. In 1635, Veit Hans Schnorr founded the first blue dye works in Saxony in Niederpfannenstiel, now also a constituent community of Aue. From 1711 kaolin was also delivered to Meißen for preparing porcelain. Since the mid-18th century, documents have referred to Aue as a town. In 1897, Zelle was amalgamated with Aue, and Alberoda followed in 1929. Already by 1901, the royal Amt court had taken up its function in the town.

One of Saxony's oldest artworks is the painting from the east wall of the little monastery, which shows Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa, Mary and a bishop. In the 1930s, it was removed for reasons of restoration, and is now found in the St.-Annen-Kapelle near the cathedral in Freiberg. A copy by H. Beck is found in the Friedenskirche Aue-Zelle (“Peace Church”).

During World War II, a subcamp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp was located here.

Like Schwarzenberg, the town remained unoccupied for a while after the Second World War ended in 1945.

From 1952 to 1990, Aue was part of the Bezirk Karl-Marx-Stadt of East Germany. Until 1994, the town was the administrative seat of the district of Aue. With district reform in Saxony that year, Aue became the administrative seat of the newly formed district of Aue-Schwarzenberg.

Since 1996, there has been a Silberberg Town League (Städtebund Silberberg), to which, besides Aue, also belong Schneeberg, Schwarzenberg, Bad Schlema, Lauter and Lößnitz. In November 2006 the mayors of Aue, Lößnitz, Schneeberg and Bad Schlema expressed the intention of amalgamating their respective municipalities into a united town of Silberberg.

Population development

Brutus Buckeye

Brutus Buckeye is the athletics mascot of Ohio State University and an anthromorphic buckeye nut. Brutus made his debut in 1965, with periodic updates to design and wardrobe occurring in the years since. As a member of the spirit squad, Brutus Buckeye travels to many events around the university and often makes appearances around Columbus.

History
Ohio State students Ray Bourhis and Sally Huber decided Ohio State needed a mascot in 1965 and convinced the athletic council to study the matter. At the time, mascots were generally animals brought into the stadium or arena. A buck deer was contemplated, but, because bringing live animals as mascots was common at the time, this was rejected as impossible. Instead, the buckeye was selected, as the buckeye is the official state tree of Ohio. A simple papier-mâché nut was constructed by students, worn over the head and torso, with legs sticking out. It made its appearance at the Minnesota vs. Ohio State homecoming football game on October 30, 1965. The heavy papier-mâché nut did not last and it was soon replaced by a fiberglass shell. On November 21, 1965, The Columbus Dispatch reported that judges picked Brutus Buckeye to be the new mascot's name after a campus-wide "Name the Buckeye" contest. The winning name was the idea of then Ohio State student Kerry J. Reed, 21. "Block O" agreed to care for Brutus in December. In the early 2000s, the Brutus costume was stolen before a game. The mascot was forced to wear the old costume.

Brutus has a buckeye head and block O hat, scarlet and grey shirt emblazoned "Brutus" and "00", red pants with an Ohio State towel hanging over the front, and high white socks with black shoes. Male and female students both serve as Brutus Buckeye.

Appearances

 * Brutus Buckeye appears in ESPN This Is SportsCenter advertisements eating lunch and performing aerobics with Richard Simmons.
 * Brutus appears strapped to the back of a truck in Home Depot commercials advertising Glidden paint.
 * Brutus appears in the NCAA Football series and NCAA March Madness series of video games as a mascot and has his own mascot team.
 * During the 2002–2003 NCAA football season, Brutus was 1 of 12 contestants competing to be the Capital One National Mascot of the Year. Brutus appeared in approximately 4 commercials depicting the faux competition between the 12 mascots.  He appeared again for the 2010–11 NCAA football season, this time with fifteen other mascots and then again in the 2011–12 NCAA football season.
 * In 2006, Brutus appeared on The Daily Show's Midwest Midterm Midtacular as a guest correspondent and was interviewed by Jon Stewart. In the middle of the interview, Brutus is caught and eaten by a giant squirrel, a play on the idea that he is a nut.
 * Brutus was the subject of a comic series from the College of Pharmacy at the University entitled "Adventures in Pharmacy". Episodes depicted Brutus as a patient stricken with common household illnesses including the influenza, gout and the common cold. Adventures in Pharmacy was created as a community service by the Ohio State College of Pharmacy, the Department of Athletics, and Columbus Public Schools. One of the goals of this program was to educate students about the role pharmacists play in health care and the treatment of common illnesses.

2010 tackling
On September 18, 2010, the Ohio Bobcats football team played the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus. As the Buckeyes were running onto the field, Brandon Hanning, dressed as Rufus the Bobcat, saw Sean Stazen, dressed as Brutus Buckeye, leading the charge. Hanning failed in his initial sideswiping attempt on Brutus, losing his mascot head in the process. Hanning then got back on his feet, ran after Stazen, jumped on his back and continued to hit the Brutus mascot in the head. Hanning was then pulled aside by security who told him to stop. Neither mascot was injured, and Ohio State won the game, the final score 43-7.

In a post-game interview, Hanning explained that this was his sole purpose in trying out to be the mascot. "It was actually my whole plan to tackle Brutus when I tried out to be mascot," Hanning explained, "I tried out about a year ago, and the whole reason I tried out was so I could come up here to Ohio State and tackle Brutus."

After the game, Hanning was terminated from his position as Ohio University's mascot, was banned from further affiliation with the school's athletic department, and he dropped out to attend Hocking College. Ohio University issued an apology, stating they "regret the negative effect [Hanning's actions] may have on the relationship between the two schools".

Wahlenbergia

Wahlenbergia is a genus of around 260 species of flowering plants in the family Campanulaceae. Plants in this genus are perennial or annual herbs with simple leaves and blue to purple bell-shaped flowers, usually with five petals lobes. Species of Wahlenbergia are native to environments on all continents except North America, and on some isolated islands, but the greatest diversity occurs in the Southern Hemisphere.

Description
Plants in the genus Wahlenbergia are annual or perennial herbs, rarely shrubs, and sometimes have rhizomes. The stems are erect, circular in cross section and have simple leaves. The leaves decrease in size up the stem and usually have small scattered teeth on their edges. The flowers are borne on the end of the stems, either singly or arranged in a cyme. There are five sepals that remain until the fruiting stage. The petals are blue to purple and are joined at their base to form a bell-shaped or funnel-shaped tube with five lobes. There are usually five stamens, the style is often branched at the tip and the fruit is a capsule containing up to fifty seeds.

Taxonomy and naming
In 1814, Heinrich Schrader used the name Wahlenbergia elongata but the name was a nomen nudum. The genus was first formally described in 1821 by Albrecht Wilhelm Roth and the description was published in Roth's book Novae Plantarum Species praesertim Indiae Orientalis. Roth retained Schrader's name Wahlenbergia. The name honours Göran Wahlenberg (a Swedish botanist who taught at Uppsala University).

Distribution
The genus is widespread and species of Wahlenbergia are native to all continents except North America. The highest species diversity is in southern temperate countries, particularly Africa and Australasia and species are even found on oceanic islands. Four species are known from the island of Saint Helena, including the now extinct species W. roxburghii.

Sopela

Sopela, formerly known as Sopelana, is a town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, in the autonomous community of Basque Country, northern Spain. The town is roughly 820 hectares in size, located in the comarca Mungialdea on the north east side of Bilbao and due east of the Nervión river estuary. In the municipality, other former towns like Larrabasterra were annexed to make Sopela larger. The population is 13,878 people, as recorded in the 2019 census. The area of Sopela is situated among green hills and beaches. This makes it a very attractive suburb of Greater Bilbao, with a short commute of 35 minutes on the metro.

History
Since the late 1980s, the population of Sopela has continued to grow and currently has 13.000 citizens. During the industrialization the citizens moved to the urban centres that were more crowded but since that decade this tendency has been reversed. Sopela has become a residential municipality well connected with bigger municipalities and with Bilbao. It was at first a primarily tourist destination, where the properties and house owners only moved to spend summer holidays but it has turned into a residential town. At the moment, it is one of the municipalities with the highest per capita income of Spain.

Geographic situation
Sopela belongs to a region called Uribe that is composed by 15 municipalities that are: Arrieta, Bakio, Barrika, Gámiz-Fica, Gatika, Górliz, Laukiniz, Lemoniz, Maruri-Jatabe, Meñaka, Mungia, Plencia, Sopelana and Urduliz. It borders with the Cantabrian sea in the north, what makes Sopelana have spectacular cliffs and beaches (Barinatxe, Arrietara, Atxabiribil and Meñakoz). The municipality of Barrika is located to the Northeast, Getxo to the Northwest, Urduliz to the Southeast and Berango to the Southwest.

Climate
Sopela's oceanic climate is very different from the one of southern Spain. Harsh winds tend to pick up speed along the coast and precipitation is very common all year round. Northern winds often bring the winter temperature to just above the freezing point, but summers are usually comfortable from late May to early September. Snow is common three days each winter on average. The summer climate is warm and the temperatures are moderated by the constant sea breezes.

Beaches

Sopela is known for three beaches Atxabiribil, Barinatxe, and Arrietara. They are rather exposed to the elements of the Bay of Biscay and have good conditions for surfers. A fourth beach, Meñakoz is of less appeal for sun worshippers and more for the surfer crowd due to the pebble bed ground. Sopela is frequently the host of regional surf competitions as conditions are adequate for surfing in its beaches. A less famous, but also internationally known event, is the yearly nude race on Barinatxe beach in the fall. Barinatxe is a clothing optional beach. Another special place in Sopela is a small creek called Ikatza known only by its citizens.

Transport
The town is connected to the main transport arteries with two metro stations on the Line 1 of Bilbao Metro and highways.

Larrabasterra station is located to the far south of Sopela in Larrabasterra, while Sopela station (formerly Sopelana) is at the center of the municipality. Several bus routes also connect Sopela to Bilbao and nearby towns, like Barrika, Plentzia, Gorliz and Armintza. These buses are:
 * Bizkaibus:
 * A3451: Las Arenas - Arminza.
 * A3531: Sopelana - Munguía - Gatica.
 * A2166: Uribe Kosta - UPV/EHU

There is also a local bus service which connects the town centre with the beaches, it joins the following neighbourhoods: Larrabasterra / Arrietara / Beaches / Sopelmar / Ugeraga / Moreaga / Centre.

Patronal feasts
The patron saint of the town is San Pedro or Saint Peter and his feast days are the most representative ones. They are held at the end of the month of June and they last up to a week and a half. The big day is the 29th. The patroness of the neighbourhood of Larrabasterra is Virgen del Carmen and her feast days are held in mid-July. The big day is the 16th.

Shopping
There are no large shopping areas or malls in Sopela. The shopping centres are located a short car ride away in nearby towns like Getxo, Leioa, Barakaldo, or Bilbao. However, the centre of Sopela is full of small shops with a wide variety of goods. Along the main road to West Sopela, there are several youth oriented shops and surf shops open all year round.

Cobra Mansa

Mestre Cobra Mansa (born Cinézio Feliciano Peçanha, 1960 in Duque de Caxias, Brazil) also known as Cobrinha and Cobrinha Mansa, is a mestre of capoeira Angola.

He is one of the founders and the guide of International Capoeira Angola Foundation, that supports 11 affiliated groups in the United States, Brazil and Europe.

Beside his play, Cobra Mansa is known for his knowledge and scholarship of the historical and cultural roots of capoeira.

Biography
He began his practice of capoeira in 1973 with Josias da Silva and Raimundo in the Rio neighborhood of Duque de Caxias. He played Capoeira in the Duque Caxias street rodas and was one of the founders of the Caxias Street Roda with Rogerio Russo and Peixinho de Caxias.

In 1974, Cobra Mansa became a student of Mestre Moraes, after saw him play in the roda of Central Brazil. Prior to dedicating his life to capoeira Angola, he worked in photography, as a street vendor in a circus (Circo Picolino) and even served as a police officer for 2 years in the state of Belo Horizonte.

Grupo Capoeira Angola Pelorinho
In 1981, Mansa started with the Grupo Capoeira Angola Pelorinho (GCAP), aimed towards children and orphans with rough backgrounds in Salvador, Bahia. After years of fruitful collaboration, Cobrinha and Moraes had a difference over the direction of the school where they were both leader figures. The result was the departure of Mestre Cobrinha and several other members of GCAP as well as the formation of FICA.

Life in the United States
Around 1994, on invitation from the Aussar Auset Society, Cobrinha moved to the United States and opened a school in Washington, D.C., which was solely dedicated to the teaching of Capoeira Angola. He later became an adjunct professor at George Washington University, and then eventually president of the newly formed FICA.

Return to Bahia
In 2004, he left the United States to make his home in Bahia, Salvador, Brazil to create the Kilombo Tenondé. This organization is currently split over two sites, one in Valença, Bahia. Quilombo Tenondé provides space for capoeira and permacultura (organic farming). The other site is a cultural center at Coutos in the suburb of Salvador.

Trip to Africa

In the 2010s, completed a journey to the west-central region of Africa to search for the African roots of capoeira. He spent time in Angola and Mozambique learning about the n'golo martial art and other local African cultural traditions that contributed to the development of capoeira. He also conducted a workshop in South Africa where he shared his knowledge and experiences.

As a result of his trip to Angola, the documentary Jogo de Corpo: Capoeira e Ancestralidade (2013) was created.

Capoeira style

Mestre Cobrinha is known for his dynamic and dangerous style of play. His nicknames (Cobra Mansa - "tamed snake" and Cobrinha - "little snake") are apt descriptions derived from Cobra Mansa's graceful and deceptive style of play. His ability to transform situations through the use of innovative and acrobatic solutions has made him one of the most influential angoleiro (practitioner of capoeira Angola) of his generation.

Never one to avoid the complexity of Capoeira Regional, he has traveled in many non-Angolan circles and done a great deal to help mend old disagreements between the two. His style continues to be respected through both the capoeira Angola and capoeira Regional communities and he remains an inspiration to many younger capoeiristas.

Talk:Creative Technology

Creative Labs?
What exactly is the difference between Creative Labs and Creative Technology? I see too many conflicting information and they seem to be the same thing. They are not separate companies for sure. But why are their names different? --Gammbow (talk) 15:29, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

According to [www.referenceforbusiness.com]: '' "In Europe, meanwhile, Creative acquired computer products distributor Westpoint Creative, which was renamed Creative Labs (UK) Ltd. The following year, the company opened manufacturing facilities in Dublin, Ireland, through subsidiary Creative Labs (Ireland)." ''

It seems that Creative Labs is subsidiary to Creative Technology Ltd.

So in that case, it would be more technically accurate to refer to Creative corporately as Creative Technology Ltd. --MasterSushi (talk) 19 August 2021

I have sourced from their official website that both Creative Technology Ltd and Creative Labs Pte Ltd are official names of the main company. It seems even the Labs name is in use locally. --148.252.129.157 (talk) 10:29, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Vasco da Gama, Goa

Vasco da Gama, often shortened to Vasco, is a city in the state of Goa on the west coast of India. It is named after the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama. It is the headquarters of the Mormugão taluka (subdistrict). The city lies on the western tip of the Mormugao peninsula, at the mouth of the Zuari River, about 30 km from Panaji, Goa's capital, 28 km from Margao, the district headquarters and about 5 km from Dabolim Airport.

The city was founded in 1543 and remained in Portuguese hands until the 1961 Indian military operation that annexed Goa. The 1888-constructed Mormugao Port remains a busy shipping route in Asia. This port is built by the Portuguese king in alliance with Gali Sidhayya who is the then zamindar of the Goa region. It is one of the major ports of independent India. The shipbuilding area of Goa Shipyard Limited that builds Indian Navy and Coast Guard vessels was also built there in 1957 (during the Portuguese era). Initially built around the city's harbour as the 'Estaleiros Navais de Goa', the area has, since the end of Portuguese presence, expanded into construction for several other branches of maritime patrol and security. The Indian Navy has an obvious presence here, with its vast campuses and ports, which include the naval base INS Hansa.

History
This city, in the former Portuguese territory of Goa, is named after the famous Portuguese explorer and navigator Vasco da Gama, who held the title of Governor of Portuguese India. This city serves as the headquarters of the Mormugao sub-district. It was founded in 1543 and remained in Portuguese hands until 1961, when the territory was lost to India.

Vasco da Gama, 1st Count of Vidigueira was the first European to reach India by sea. His initial voyage to India (1497–1499) was the first to link Europe and Asia by an ocean route, connecting the Atlantic and the Indian oceans and, in this way, the West and the East. He reached Goa on 11 September 1524 but died at Kochi three months later. His remains were eventually returned to Portugal and interred at St Jeronimos monastery.

The city is sometimes referred to as Sambhaji Nagar. Sambhaji was the eldest son of Shivaji, the founder of the Maratha Empire. An attempt was made to change the city's name to Sambhaji Nagar, and this is reflected in a few government records. However, no official records have been found as to when the city was renamed. It is thus dismissed as a political move.

Renovation of Clock Tower
In 2015, after a campaign by the Goa Heritage Action Group and the History Lovers Group, the Mormugao Municipal Council (MMC) decided to renovate the clock tower of the municipal market in the heart of the city. Built in 1921, the complex is an example of Art Deco style of architecture. The renovation work was completed in 2017 with funding provided by the Rajaram and Tarabai Bandekar Charitable Trust, and the clock was brought in from Nashik.

Climate
The city has a tropical monsoon climate (Koppen: Am)

Transport
Vasco is connected by road by the National Highway 17A & National Highway 17B, by rail by the Vasco da Gama railway station, by the sea through the Mormugao Port and by air through Dabolim Airport, thus serving as the main hub for most tourists visiting the state of Goa.

Sports
As in the rest of Goa, football is the most popular sport in Vasco. Two teams from the town have participated in the I-League – Vasco Sports Club and Salgaocar Sports Club. Salgaocar SC were Champions of the 1998–99 season of the erstwhile NFL. Tilak Maidan is a 6,000-seater football ground located in the city, hosts Indian Super League matches. The stadium sporting a magnificent turf hosted I-league matches during April 2013, as the home ground for the four teams from Goa in the league, when Fatorda Stadium was closed down for renovation.

Although cricket is not as popular as football, a Vasco resident Shadab Jakati plays for Goa in the Ranji Trophy first-class competition and has also been selected to play for the Chennai Super Kings IPL franchise. Railway Stadium is a cricket ground in Vasco da Gama. The only recorded match held on the ground was a first-class match between Goa and Kerala in the 1986/87 Ranji Trophy, which Kerala won by 6 wickets.

Politics
The city of Vasco falls under the boundaries of the South Goa (Lok Sabha constituency) previously Mormugao Lok Sabha constituency in the Lok Sabha. The current Member of Parliament is Francisco Sardinha of the Indian National Congress.

The extended city of Vasco / Mormugao elects three representatives to the Goa Legislative Assembly:
 * Mormugao: The current MLA is Sankalp Amonkar of the BJP.
 * Vasco da Gama: The current MLA is Krishna Salkar of the BJP.
 * Dabolim: The current MLA is Mauvin Godinho of the BJP.

Research
The National Centre for Antarctic and Ocean Research (NCAOR) located at Headland Sada is a research and development institution administered by the Ministry of Earth Sciences. It is responsible for administering the Indian Antarctic Program and maintains the Indian government's Antarctic research station, Maitri. In addition to laboratories for marine sample processing/analyses, it hosts a special low-temperature ice core sample storage facility. It is also the nodal agency for Indian scientific participation in the deep sea drilling research under the aegis of International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP).

Education

 * The Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani started its second campus BITS Pilani Goa Campus at Zuarinagar in Vasco da Gama. The campus offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses in engineering and science.
 * The Navy Children School, established in 1987 under the aegis of Naval Education Society, is located in Vasco-da-Gama. It is one of eight similar institutions in India.
 * The city has two Kendriya Vidyalayas, established under the aegis of the Indian Navy. Both are located at Mangor Hill in the Varunapuri compound.
 * Mormugao Educational Society's College of Arts and Commerce, locally known as MES College, is an institution in Zuarinagar, Vasco-da-Gama which provides training in commerce and the arts.
 * Mormugao Port Trust also runs three schools at the Primary, Secondary and Higher Secondary levels named Deepvihar.
 * New Dawn Ashadeep School is a special school for the physically disabled.

Keith Arthurton

Keith Lloyd Thomas Arthurton (born 21 February 1965) is a former West Indian cricketer. Having become only the third Test player from Nevis, the middle order batsman/left-arm orthodox bowler played in 33 Tests between July 1988 and August 1995 and continued playing in one day matches until May 1999. However, he never recovered from the 1996 World Cup, in which he scored two runs in five innings. Despite a strike rate of just 67 in one-day matches, Arthurton was a good striker of the ball, favouring the leg side.

International career
He was also a good bowler. He took three 4-wicket hauls in the shorter version of the game with a best of 4/31. Arthurton was also an excellent fielder. His best moments were reserved for the subcontinent, as he got scores of 84, 63 and 44 off 30 balls in consecutive matches against Pakistan. In a match against India where the next highest score for West Indies was 16, Arthurton got 59 off 83. His best against them was 76 not out followed by 59 then 58 not out. This preceded 41 and 72 against them. Sri Lanka felt his presence as he got scores of 72 not out and then consecutive scores of 37 not out off just 31 balls with two sixes and a four and then 50 not out off 60 and then a 17 ball 24 not out. He rarely succeeded against England, though he had few memorable knocks against New Zealand and South Africa.

In Tests he got two hundreds and eight fifties. He had a best of 157 not out against Australia, a knock with 16 fours and a six.

Controversy
Arthurton was involved in an unusual incident during a game between the West Indies Board of Control XI and the Australian national cricket team at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. Australian player Dean Jones believed that Arthurton was using an oversized cricket bat. The bat was found to be 4.5 inches wide, instead of the legal 4.25 inches, but he was allowed to continue to use the bat.

John Rangihau

John Te Rangianiwaniwa Rangihau (5 September 1919 – 14 October 1987) was a New Zealand academic and Māori leader of the Ngāi Tūhoe iwi. He was also called Te Nika and Te Rangihau.

Rangihau was born at Kuha near Waikaremoana. He received his education at Kokako Native School and at Wesley College in Auckland. He fought with the 28th New Zealand (Māori) Battalion in World War II. He worked as a Māori welfare officer for the Department of Maori Affairs and became a recognised leader of the Tuhoe people. From 1957 to 1959, Rangihau completed a diploma in social science at Victoria University.

In 1971 Rangihau founded the Te Hui Ahurei a Tūhoe festival, which is the longest running Iwi national festival.

In 1973, Rangihau was working for the University of Waikato's Centre for Maori Studies and Research looking for ways to preserve the Māori language. He was involved in setting up Māori-language pre-school groups in 1974, but they lasted less than a year. In the 1975 New Year Honours, he was awarded the British Empire Medal for services to the Māori people. Rangihau became involved in the ministerial committee to prevent the decline in the number of Māori language speakers in New Zealand, and the scheme came to fruition with the kohanga reo scheme of Māori-language kindergartens in 1982.

After 1982, Rangihau became an advisor to the Maori Affairs Department. He encouraged Māori elders to contact their children and grandchildren in prisons and encourage them to return to their families once released. He facilitated research into Māori health.

Victoria University established a teaching and research position in his honour in 1989.

Augusta Bagiennorum

Augusta Bagiennorum was the chief town of the Ligurian tribe of the Bagienni. It was located in what is now the commune of Bene Vagienna, in the province of Cuneo (northern Italy), on the upper course of the Tanaro, about 35 mi due south of Turin. The town retained its position as a tribal centre in the reorganization of Roman Emperor Octavian, whose title Augustus is part of its name as a colony, and was erected on a systematic plan.

Considerable remains of public buildings, constructed in concrete faced with small stones with bands of brick at intervals, an amphitheatre with a major axis of c. 120 m and a minor axis of c. 900 m, a theatre with a stage 40 m in length, and near it the foundations of what was probably a basilica, an open space (no doubt the forum), an aqueduct, baths, have been discovered by recent excavations, and also one of the city gates, flanked by two towers.

The ancient name is also used for a modern natural reserve.

File nominated for deletion on commons
file:c:File:Carleton Ravens logo.svg Reason:File's licensing was discussed at COM:VP/C to seek clarification, and it does not appear that this is a simple enough logo for based upon COM:TOO. argument in the aforementioned discussion that this is above Canada's TOO is pretty convincing and I'm inclined to agree. The text for sure would be considered PD in my opinion, but the raven imagery does seem complex enough to be eligible for copyright. I guess the image could be split with the wordmark like part being PD-textlogo and the raven imagery being non-free content, but I don't think Commons should keep the combination of the two together per COM:PCP subpage:link Message automatically deposited by a robot on 09:10, 2 January 2018 (UTC).

 * Pass/Fail:

This article is nowhere near GA. It needs copyediting, (spelling and grammar errors, which $ etc), does not conform to MOS or GA guidelines, and is not properly referenced to independent sources. Most refs are to the company site or are written by ex-employees. The TV clips referenced are to claims made by company managers. Not actually that far from being spam. There is no point giving this time for improvement, it needs rewriting from scratch, following GA/MoS guidelines, and with independent verifiable references. Jimfbleak (talk) 08:05, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Jim: Thank you for your thoughtful and insightful critique of this article. Obviously you have found flaws with it that other editors working on this article have missed. I note that you mention things like spelling mistakes - I guess my spelling skills are lacking, because I haven't been able to identify any, although I did find, and correct, one grammar error. Perhaps you can point them out, or better yet correct them? You do mention that the article doesn't comply with the MOS, but it does seem to comply with some aspects of it, but perhaps not others? Perhaps you can be a bit more specific in that regard so it can be fixed? You are quite correct in that it needs more independent sources. I will see if I can locate some more. For one, I am glad to have someone of your capabilities helping out in fixing this article and look forward to your participation in making it better. - Ahunt (talk) 12:22, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Sadko

Sadko (Садко) is the principal character in a Russian medieval epic bylina. He was an adventurer, merchant, and gusli musician from Novgorod.

Textual notes
"Sadko" is a version of the tale translated by Arthur Ransome in Old Peter's Russian tales (1916). Kate Blakey's translation of a variant, "Sadko, the Rich Merchant Guest", appeared in the Slavonic Review (1924).

A bylina version collected by P. N. Rybnikov has been translated by James Bailey.

Synopsis
Sadko of Novgorod played the gusli on the shores of a lake and river. The Sea Tsar enjoyed his music, and offered to help him. Sadko was instructed to make a bet with the local merchants about catching a gold-finned fish in the lake; when he caught it (as provided by the Sea Tsar), the merchants had to pay the wager, making Sadko a rich merchant.

Sadko traded on the seas with his new wealth, but did not pay proper respects to the Tsar as per their agreement. The Tsar stopped Sadko's ships in the sea. He and his sailors tried to appease the Sea Tsar with gold, to no avail. Sadko realizes a sacrifice of a live soul was being demanded. All the shipmates drew lots, but Sadko draws the unlucky lot as if by fate or magic, so he is sent overboard and he sinks into the sea.

In the sea world, Sadko played the gusli for the Sea Tsar, whose dancing roughened the seas, so that all the sailors prayed to Mikola Mozhaisky (Mikula Mozhaysk, patron of mariners; or the name Saint Nicholas is called by in variants), and the saint instructed Sadko to quit playing, and break the strings if the Tsar will not let him stop. As the Tsar was bound to offer him a choice of maidens to wed in order to detain him, Mikola advised him to choose the last one, with the warning not to embrace her as a wife (consummate the marriage) if he hoped ever to return to Russia. The Tsar showed Sadko a selection of 900 (or 300) maidens, and Sadko picked out Chernava (diminutive: Chernavushka) who appeared last. The two then wed, but the groom made no overture to the bride on their wedding night, and Sadko the next day woke up in his hometown, reunited with his terrestrial wife. The Chernava is explained as the nymph of the River Chernava. In Ransom's version, the Sea Tsar's youngest daughter is named Volkhov, which is the river Sadko has always cherished.

Tale type
The story of Sadko is classified in the international Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index as tale type ATU 677*, "Below the Sea": due to his musical prowess, the hero is taken to the court of an underwater Tsar.

Motifs
In some variants, Sadko is chosen to jump overboard by throwing lots between the men. This motif, derived from the Biblical story of Jonah, is a widespread device, appearing, for instance, in Child ballad 57 Brown Robyn's Confession.

Historical parallels
Sadko may be based on a certain Sotko Sytinich (or Sedko Sitinits ), who is mentioned in the Novgorodian First Chronicle as the patron of the stone Church of Boris and Gleb built in the Novgorodian Detinets in 1167.

Sadko can also be viewed as a metaphor for Yaroslav the Wise. The liberation of the Novgorodian people by Sadko can also be linked to the establishment of the Novgorod Republic by Yaroslav.

Adaptations
This tale attracted the attention of several authors in the 19th century with the rise of the Slavophile movement and served as a basis for a number of derived works, most notably the poem "Sadko" by Alexei Tolstoy (written 1871–1872); additionally notable the 1898 opera entitled Садко (Sadko) composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, who also wrote the Libretto. In 1952, Aleksandr Ptushko directed a live action film based on the opera entitled Садко (Sadko). A shortened and heavily modified version of this film was dubbed and entitled The Magic Voyage of Sinbad in 1962; later spoofed on Mystery Science Theater 3000 and released on DVD by Shout! Factory in 2011. In 2018 an animated adaption was released. The 1953 Soviet biopic Rimsky-Korsakov features pieces of the opera.

The 1952 original film adaption Садко by киностудии МОСФИЛЬМ (movie maker MOSFILM) was released on DVD in February 2004 by the Russian Cinema Council (Ruscico) as noted on Mosfilm website and available as free download on RareLust website as Sadko.

Tommy Milton

Thomas Willard Milton (November 14, 1893 – July 10, 1962) was an American racing driver best known as the first two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500. In spite of having only one functional eye, Milton came to be known as one of the finest racers of his generation.

Early life
Milton was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, on November 14, 1893.

Racing career

Milton began his career in racing in 1914, competing on dirt tracks in the Midwestern United States. By 1917, he was competing nationwide, and earned his first major win at a track in Providence, Rhode Island. In 1919, he was one of the dominant figures in American racing, winning five of the nine championship races including the Elgin National Road Races, the International Sweepstakes at Sheepshead Bay, New York, and made his debut at the Indianapolis 500. Later that year he suffered severe burns when his car burst into flames during a race at Uniontown, Pennsylvania. He returned to the track the following year to win the Universal Trophy on June 19. In 1921, Milton won the United States National Driving Championship, often referred to as the Champ Car series.

Record at the Indianapolis 500

Milton was a starter in the Indianapolis 500 eight times, earning the pole position once, and finishing in the top five on four occasions. He drove for Duesenberg his first time in 1919 and again the following year when he finished third. In 1921, the twenty-seven-year-old Milton won the celebrated race driving a straight-eight Frontenac built by Louis Chevrolet. In 1922 fuel tank problems forced Milton out of the race after only forty-four laps, but he came back in 1923 driving for the H.C.S. Motor Co. with a Miller 122 and won the race for the second time. His last was the 1927 Indianapolis 500 where he finished eighth.

Post-racing career
During the 1936 race, Milton returned to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to drive the Packard 120 Pace Car. At his suggestion, the tradition of giving the race winner the Pace Car began that year. In 1949 Milton was appointed chief steward for the Indianapolis 500. Health problems forced him to retire in 1957.

Death
Milton died in 1962 in Mount Clemens, Michigan, at the age of 68 of self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

Awards and honors
Milton has been inducted into the following halls of fame:
 * Auto Racing Hall of Fame (1954)
 * Minnesota Sports Hall of Fame (1958)
 * National Sprint Car Hall of Fame (1992)
 * Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (1998)

Talk:Nepean—Carleton (federal electoral district)

Merge
I am proposing merging Nepean—Carleton (provincial electoral district) into this article, since we treat all other federal and provincial ridings in one article. I don't think this should be too controversial. Mind matrix  02:57, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree -- many of these articles are becoming large and unweildy. It would be better to go in the other direction, i.e., split other federal articles. Ground Zero | t 11:18, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Instead of discussing this on multiple talk pages, I'm just going to start a discussion on the notice board. Mind  matrix  15:09, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, As the same district is used for both provinical and federal elections, it would make sense that the information be included in one file, instead of being separate --Jcampbe
 * In comparison to other parts of the world there is considerable detail on election results in Ontario (see WP:DIRECTORY). As far as I can see there are no separate articles for provincial ridings if they coincide with federal ridings. Since these articles cover both provincial and federal ridings any noteworthy information can be entered into these articles. It may be worth considering combining pronvincial ridings into a list rather than separate articles since the content is of local importance only . Inwind (talk) 07:39, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't think it's accurate to say the content is of "local importance only". It's of historical importance to anyone who is interested in Canadian federal and/or provincial elections. Dodge rambler (talk) 05:34, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I could add that there are, in fact, several separate articles for provincial ridings that coincide with federal ridings. I suppose I'm agnostic on whether separate articles are preferable, though they undoubtedly simplify things as regards electoral histories.  CJCurrie (talk) 01:36, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

 * A few years ago, we decided as a policy to split these pages. I began the process, but never finished it. -- Earl Andrew - talk 13:59, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

2011 Federal Election
The reference to the Pirate Party candidate has been removed; as of 14 April 2011 the candidate is no longer listed as an official candidate in the riding on the Elections Canada page for Nepean-Carleton. The candidate was removed several days ago from the official Pirate Party website. I have seen several references to a "problem with the signatures" for the candidate's nomination papers, but I can't find any formal reference explaining why the candidate is no longer an official candidate in the riding. If anyone can provide a reference, please add suitable referenced text.Vulcan's Forge (talk) 15:58, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Ottawa Centre (federal electoral district)

Length
Given the length of this article, would it make sense to branch the provincial stuff off into Ottawa Centre (provincial electoral district)? Ground Zero | t 16:41, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Didn't we agree a while ago to branch all of the provincial ridings off? --Curlingstub.png Earl Andrew - talk 18:01, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Done. Ground Zero | t 12:53, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I think Oren Mazor should be added of the Pirate Party of Canada. . Isn't this official? Although from what I see, the names are not being taken from the official Elections Canada site as there are no names listed for Ottawa-Centre. TurtleMelody (talk) 22:49, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * From what I hear now Oren Mazor has been disqualified because of lack of signatures. He is no longer an official candidate in Ottawa Centre.TurtleMelody (talk) 03:33, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Anderson Hernández

Anderson Hernández Mejia (born October 30, 1982) is a Dominican former professional baseball infielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Mets, Washington Nationals, Cleveland Indians, and Houston Astros as well as for the Chunichi Dragons of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB).

Detroit Tigers
He was signed as an undrafted free agent at age 18 by the Detroit Tigers in 2001. In the minor leagues, Hernández showed poor patience and high strikeouts typical of a teenager and did not rise past single-A until 2004. In his first season, he batted .264/.303/.389 with 34 stolen bases in just 216 at-bats. However, he progressed slowly. In 2002, playing in High-A ball, he showed poor hitting skills, batting just .259/.310/.339. The next season was even worse. Hernandez struggled to hit above the Mendoza line, (.229/.278/.295) and stole just 15 bases. But the next season started off well for him. After batting .295 with 11 RBI in about 100 AB, he was called up to Double-A Erie where he batted .274 with 5 home runs, 29 RBI, and 17 stolen bases. In January 2005, Hernández was traded to the New York Mets for catcher Vance Wilson.

New York Mets
In January 2005, Hernández was traded to the New York Mets for catcher Vance Wilson. With the Mets out of playoff contention in and Hernández hitting over .300 in both Double-A and Triple-A, he was called up to the majors in mid-September but went 0-for-14 before finally getting his first hit, off Colorado Rockies pitcher Aaron Cook, in the last game of the season, going 1–4. Due to the knee injury of Kazuo Matsui, Hernández was the starting second baseman for the Mets to start the season, but he too was soon injured and placed on the 15-day DL. He returned later in the season and hit his first Major League home run on September 19, 2006, off Florida Marlins pitcher Scott Olsen. He is widely known to Mets fans for pinch-running for Paul LoDuca in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS against the St. Louis Cardinals, representing the winning run with two out, but Carlos Beltrán struck out to end the game. In 2007, he made many appearances as a pinch-runner or a late inning defensive replacement, as he only collected three at-bats and went 1–3. On August 20,, Hernández was dealt to the Washington Nationals as a player to be named later for relief pitcher Luis Ayala.

Washington Nationals
On August 20,, Hernández was dealt to the Washington Nationals as a player to be named later for relief pitcher Luis Ayala. He was the starter at second for the Nationals. On August 6, 2009, Hernández was traded back to the Mets for minor league infielder Greg Veloz.

Return to the Mets
Hernández was traded back to the Mets on August 6, 2009, for minor league infielder Greg Veloz. On March 17, 2010, Hernández was claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Indians.

Cleveland Indians
On March 17, 2010, Hernández was claimed off waivers by the Cleveland Indians. He was assigned to Triple-A Columbus on April 8. On June 8, 2010, the Indians purchased Hernández's contract and placed him on the active roster. Hernández had the opportunity to compete for the starting second baseman position, but lost to Jayson Nix; he was subsequently used in a utility infielder role. On July 18, 2010, Hernández was designated for assignment to make room on the active roster for pitcher Jeanmar Gómez. Hernández was claimed off waivers by the Houston Astros on July 21, 2010.

Houston Astros
Hernández was claimed off waivers by the Houston Astros on July 21, 2010. He was added to the 25-man roster on July 22, 2010.

Hernández became a free agent after the 2010 season. He re-signed with the Astros in November 2010.

Pittsburgh Pirates
Hernández signed a minor league contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates on December 21, 2011. In November 2012, Hernández re-signed with the Pirates.

Dominican Republic
Hernández played in his native country, the Dominican Republic, for Tigres del Licey. He won the Rookie of the Year in the regular season and also the MVP during the finals. He and shortstop Erick Aybar are called "los menores" (Spanish for "the kids") and were known as one of the best middle infields in the Dominican Republic.

Chunichi Dragons
On December 12, 2013, Hernandez was unveiled by the Chunichi Dragons in the NPB as a new signing ahead of their 2014 campaign.

On 29 October, 2016, it was confirmed that Hernandez would be released from the Dragons along with Ricardo Nanita, Juan Jaime, Drew Naylor and Leyson Septimo.
