List of the orchids of Western Australia

Among the many wildflowers in Western Australia, there are around four hundred species of orchids.

Early identifications
One of the first botanists to study Western Australia was Archibald Menzies, aboard HMS Discovery, who explored King George Sound in 1791. Many of the samples (including orchids) were lost in the return to England, but those that did survive were documented in Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen, published by Robert Brown in 1810.

The first three orchids from Western Australia to be named were Caladenia menziesii (now Leptoceras menziesii), Caladenia flava, and Diuris longifolia.

In 1802 Robert Brown himself collected 500 specimens of flora from Western Australia, including:
 * Diuris emarginata var. emarginata
 * Diuris emarginata var. pauciflora
 * Diuris setacea
 * Epiblema grandiflorum
 * Microtis alba
 * Microtis media
 * Microtis pulchella
 * Prasophyllum gibbosum
 * Prasophyllum macrostachyum
 * Thelymitra canaliculata
 * Thelymitra tigrina
 * Thelymitra fuscolutea

In West Australian Orchids (1930), Emily Pelloe described and illustrated an extensive survey. She provided an English text, paintings, and drawings for the amateur reader, a mixture of impression and scientific illustration of the genera.

Aptakisic-Tripp Community Consolidated School District 102

The Aptakisic-Tripp School District is a school district in Lake County, Illinois. It operates four schools and covers grades Early Childhood through 8. Most students live in Buffalo Grove, a northern suburb of Chicago, and some live in unincorporated Prairie View or Deerfield.

Schools
Students who live within the district's boundaries will attend Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire; Stevenson is its own independent district, Adlai E. Stevenson High School District 125.

Elementary
There are two K-3 schools, Tripp Elementary School and Pritchett Elementary School, in the district.

Aptakisic Junior High School

Mrs. Dana Tamez - Principal

Ms. Michelle Robinson - Associate Principal

Ms. Maggie Bialobrzeski - Assistant Principal

History
The district was originally split into the Aptakisic School and the Tripp School during the 19th century and first half of the 20th century. Due to the growth of the city of Buffalo Grove, the schools united into one in the 1960s. Along with a united district came a brand-new school. By the 1970s, the school was unable to handle the growing city and the school was torn down and the Aptakisic School replaced it. By 1981, grades K-5 began going to the new Pritchett Elementary School. In the late 1980s, Tripp Middle School was built serving grades 3–5, at which point Pritchett Elementary served only grades K-2. Aptakisic School was then a junior high serving grades 6, 7, and 8. By 1994, Meridian Middle School was built to handle grade 5 and 6, while Tripp Elementary School became an elementary school serving K-4, alongside Pritchett.

Expansion during 2017-2018 brought many changes. The district office that was a part of AJHS building moved to a neighboring building. The old district office was redesigned to be the sixth grade classrooms. A new wing was built for music, art, Spanish, band and orchestra. An Early Childhood wing was built for Meridian. Fourth grades from Tripp and Pritchett were moved to Meridian. Sixth grade moved to AJHS from Meridian. Tripp and Pritchett became K-3 schools. All projects were funded by a $18 million bond, approved in 2018 by the Board of Education.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, D102 remained remote in operations and utilized online technology to facilitate learning. In July 2020, it was announced that students would remain in fully remote learning at least through Oct. 5 of that year. For the 2021–2022 school year, the district began operating in a hybrid capacity, with some classes fully remote, some virtual, and some a mix of the two.

Stabbing incident
In May 2005, a student of Aptakisic was charged with the stabbing of another former student in a French classroom. She was eventually sentenced with 5 years of probation, after making an apology in court.

Name change
In 2012, Aptakisic changed its mascot from Chief Aptakisic to the Eagles, due to the potential for issues of racial sensitivity and backlash.

John Vastis suspension and arrest
In August 2014, a former public speaking teacher at Meridian Middle School (John C. Vastis) was arrested by ICE and Homeland Security on charges of receiving child pornography and persuading a minor to produce pornographic images of himself. He was put on unpaid suspension following the accusations. In January 2017, Vastis was formally sentenced to 13 years for one count of accessing child pornography with the intent to view.

According to investigators, Vastis did not engage in sexually explicit interactions with his former students. Vastis has formerly been recognized for his excellence in teaching, receiving a Golden Apple Teaching Award in 1997. It is unknown currently whether Vastis is still incarcerated.

Board of Education
The following is the Board of Education as of 2023:

Jordan Sklansky - President

Pelleg Graupe - Vice President

Vera Gaskill - Secretary

Deepa Ajmire - Board Member

Justin Parker - Board Member

Melissa Rose - Board Member

Jordan Salus - Board Member

In Fiction
Adam Levin's 2010 novel The Instructions is set at Aptakisic Junior High School.

Alan Curtis (American actor)

Alan Curtis (born Harry Ueberroth or Harold Neberroth; July 24, 1909 – February 2, 1953) was an American film actor who appeared in over 50 films.

Early life and career
Born Harry Ueberroth or Harold Neberroth in Chicago, he began his career as a model before becoming an actor, appearing in local newspaper ads.

His looks did not go unnoticed in Hollywood. He began appearing in films in the late 1930s, making his screen debut in Winterset (1936). His film activities included a Technicolor appearance in the Alice Faye-Don Ameche film Hollywood Cavalcade (1939) and a memorable role in High Sierra (1941). He was one of the romantic leads in Abbott and Costello's first hit film Buck Privates (1941) and played composer Franz Schubert in The Great Awakening (1941).

His chance for leading-man stardom came when he replaced the unwilling John Garfield in the production Flesh and Fantasy (1943). Curtis played a ruthless killer opposite Gloria Jean. However, the studio cut their performances from the final film version. The footage was later expanded into a B-picture melodrama Destiny (1944). He also portrayed the man framed for murder in Phantom Lady (1944) and the detective Philo Vance. Curtis starred in over two dozen movies.

Personal life
Alan Curtis was married four times and had no children:
 * Actress Priscilla Lawson, widow of Gerald Lawson. Curtis and Lawson married in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 14, 1937, and divorced March 11, 1940.
 * Actress Ilona Massey, married 1941, divorced 1942
 * Model Sandra Lucas: born Alexandra Beryl Crowell in 1917, she was married 1939 to 1945 to musician Lyn Lucas (brother of Clyde Lucas). Curtis and Lucas married in Las Vegas, Nevada, on 8 February 1946: the couple were still married in May 1949 divorcing prior to Curtis' fourth marriage in November 1950. Lucas, identified as socialite Alexandra Crowell Curtis, wed actor John Payne on 27 September 1953, becoming his widow 6 December 1989.
 * Elizabeth Sundmark Dodero (died 1959), a onetime showgirl, former wife of Argentine millionaire Alberto Dodero, and a close friend of Eva Peron. They married in New York City on November 21, 1950, and divorced the following year. She died in 1959, after marrying, in 1952, saloon singer Hugh Shannon.

Death
Curtis had a routine kidney operation on January 28, 1953, at Saint Clare's Hospital in Manhattan. Several hours after the surgery, as he sipped some tea, he "died" for four minutes when his heart failed. He was revived and seemed to be improving but died five days later, aged 43. He is buried in the Ueberroth family plot in Memorial Park Cemetery in Skokie, Illinois.

Recognition
Curtis has a star at 7021 Hollywood Boulevard in the Motion Picture section of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was dedicated on February 8, 1960.

Bivens Arm

Bivens Arm is a body of water in Gainesville, Florida. Located west of U.S. Route 441 and south of Archer Road, it is a part of Paynes Prairie. Bivens Arm is a small shallow lake covering approximately 189 acre in southwest Gainesville. Bivens Arm is a unique environment, which supports a wide diversity of plant and animal life in an urban setting. Tumblin Creek, which is fed by small springs and seeps, drains into Bivens Arm and is the primary source of drainage into the lake. Bivens Arm overflows onto Paynes Prairie and eventually discharges to the aquifer via Alachua Sink.

History
The early history of Bivens Arm is not well documented given that it is a relatively small body of water. The earliest known use of the land around the lake was as hunting grounds by Native Americans. Beginning in the late 1800s, the land was used mostly for agricultural purposes including cattle ranching, swine farms, vegetable farms, and orange groves. In the 1930s, Bivens Arm was designated as a bird sanctuary and rookery and even had a resident ranger to care for the sanctuary. In 1965, the state of Florida designated the lake area as a wildlife sanctuary (Bill No. 1356 Chap. 65 1005). In 1981, the City of Gainesville purchased the land between the lake and Williston Road (SR 331) to form the Bivens Arm Nature Park. This park features a lush Live Oak Hammock habitat and marshlands, which periodically become inundated with rising water levels from the lake.

Minusinsk Hollow

Minusinsk Basin or Khakass-Minusinsk Basin (Минусинская (Хакасско-Минусинская) котловина, Minusinskaya (Chakassko-Minusinskaya) kotlovina) is in Khakassia and Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia located among mountains of South Siberia.

Geography
It is bounded on the west by Kuznetsk Alatau, and east by the Sayan Mountains. See Geography of South-Central Siberia. Elevation varies between 200–700 m, constituting a plain with sparse hillocks and cut by valleys.

The Yenisey River and its major tributaries Abakan, Oia (Russian: Оя ) and Tuba flow through the valley. Its major towns are Minusinsk and Abakan. The hollow has a large number of lakes, including saltwater ones. The depression is an important agricultural area; it also has coal deposits (Minusinsk Coal Basin).

Bondage tape

Bondage tape is a 2 to 3 in and 0.13 mm strip of thin plastic material (PVC in most cases) that adheres only to itself, without any adhesive; it is typically intended to be used in erotic bondage. Since it does not stick to the hair or skin, a bottom can be tightly bound or gagged without causing harm when the tape is removed.

Bondage tape is a versatile part of BDSM gear, and it's suited for beginners and for more experienced BDSM practitioners. It's safe and easy to use, and compared to bondage rope, one does not need to know any bondage knots to use it effectively.

Bondage tape can be used as:

 * blindfold
 * mouth gag
 * handcuffs
 * whole body restraint
 * body-to-furniture restraint
 * lingerie
 * breast bondage binding material, used as an alternative to rope when the breasts are small

Some tape is thick enough that it can be unwound, unwrinkled and rewound for reuse, but usually it is simply and quickly removed by cutting it with blunt-tipped scissors.

If the tape is applied relatively flat on the body, the risk of losing circulation is minimal. Unless the top has sufficiently practiced with it, the tape can become easily twisted tight, becoming like plastic string and increasing the possibility of pinching and a loss of circulation.

This type of tape is also commonly used for stretching a body piercing.

Ellery Eskelin

Ellery Eskelin (born August 16, 1959) is an American tenor saxophonist raised in Baltimore, Maryland and residing in New York City. His parents, Rodd Keith and Bobbie Lee, were both professional musicians. Rodd Keith died in 1974 in Los Angeles, California, and became a cult figure after his death in the little-known field of "song-poem" music. Organist Bobbie Lee performed in local nightclubs in Baltimore in the early 1960s and provided Eskelin an introduction to standards from the Great American Songbook as well as inspiring an early interest in jazz music.

Eskelin has resided in New York City since 1983 and has led numerous international touring ensembles while participating as a sideman or collaborator with many of today's most forward-thinking composers and improvisers. He has released more than twenty-five recordings as a leader since the late 1980s, primarily for the Swiss hatOLOGY label. His most important work has been with the group he formed in 1994 featuring keyboardist Andrea Parkins and drummer Jim Black as well as a later group called "Trio New York" with organist Gary Versace and drummer Gerald Cleaver. Eskelin has maintained lasting musical associations with Joey Baron, Mark Helias, Gerry Hemingway, Marc Ribot, David Liebman, Han Bennink, Sylvie Courvoisier, Bobby Previte and Daniel Humair among others.

Eskelin's style has its roots in the jazz realm yet his unique phrasing (which is compared to Arnold Schoenberg's technique of "klangfarbenmelodie" in The Wire, December 1996) and the unorthodox techniques utilized in his compositions (in which composed and improvised elements often collide unpredictably) make for a music that defies easy categorization. Over the years, Eskelin has garnered significant critical praise in the international jazz press. 'Down Beat magazine has recognized him as "a major player in today's creative music" (September 1995) and described his compositional approach as "a startlingly new concept" (January 1997).

Early years
Ellery Eskelin began playing tenor saxophone in 1969 at the age of ten. In interviews he claims his early influences as Gene Ammons, Sonny Stitt, Lee Konitz, Stan Getz and John Coltrane. His mother, organist Bobbie Lee, learned to play music in the Pentecostal church as a teenager, the influence of which carried over into her playing of secular music and also provided a strong and lasting influence on Eskelin. Her playing was characterized by a strong rhythmic feel and a commanding delivery of American songs. Eskelin's grandfather was the musical director of the church and played the pedal steel guitar in services while performing on the electric guitar professionally in Baltimore during the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Baltimore had a rich musical legacy sustained by musicians such as saxophonists Mickey Fields and Gary Bartz. Musicians from New York often passed through Baltimore to perform on the weekly Sunday afternoon Left Bank Jazz Society concert series presented at the Famous Ballroom. Eskelin had opportunities to sit in with locals such as Fields as well as internationally renowned artists such as Bartz, Pepper Adams and Woody Shaw. Early performances as a leader took place at various jazz clubs such as "The Bandstand" and "The Closet" run by saxophonist and entrepreneur Henry Baker, who had a long history in the Baltimore music scene having known Lester Young, Cannonball Adderley, Miles Davis, Red Garland, John Coltrane, Clifford Brown and many others. Baker predicted that the young saxophonist would one day become "a great tenor saxophone player". At around this same time Eskelin met drummer Harold White (formerly with Horace Silver) and began performing regularly in White's quintet along with trumpeter Tom Williams.

Eskelin attended Towson University where he studied classical saxophone with Joseph Briscuso and performed in composer Hank Levy's Jazz Ensemble which played Levy's "odd-meter" big band compositions exclusively. Bassist Drew Gress was a fellow student with whom Eskelin continues to collaborate and perform with to the present day. In 1979 Eskelin met pianist Marc Copland and joined Copland's band for engagements in Washington D.C. including the Cellar Door, Blues Alley and the One Step Down. Copland was a former New York saxophonist who moved to Washington DC and switched to piano in order to more deeply explore the role of harmony in his own music. Eskelin, along with Drew Gress, would reunite with Copland years later in New York City in one of Eskelin's early groups as a leader. Also in 1979 Eskelin encountered bay area saxophonist Mel Ellison who was performing in Baltimore for an extended engagement with trumpeter Ted Curson's group. Eskelin took an informal lesson with Ellison, whose unique style made a lasting impression. Also in this group was drummer Tom Rainey, who in subsequent years Eskelin would tour and record with as part of bassist Mark Helias' ensemble.

1980s
From late 1981 until early 1983 Eskelin toured with swing-era trombonist Buddy Morrow in a big band setting performing one-nighters across the United States and culminating in a tour of South America in early 1983. In March 1983 he left the road tour and moved to New York City taking any kind of musical work available in order to make a living. In an effort to deepen his understanding of be-bop Eskelin attended nightly informal jam sessions for several years at a local club called the "Star Cafe" on 23rd Street and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan. These sessions were run by saxophonist Junior Cook and drummer Harold White (who Eskelin had first met and performed with in Baltimore). In addition Eskelin pursued private studies with saxophonist George Coleman. During the summer of 1984 Eskelin joined organist Jack McDuff's band (which featured guitarist Dave Stryker and legendary drummer Joe Dukes) on a regular engagement at Dudes Lounge in Harlem.

By 1985 Eskelin slowly began to develop his own musical approach, combining his roots in jazz with his interests in other forms of music, particularly free improvisation. Laying the groundwork for these explorations were studies with saxophonist David Liebman which led to informal jam sessions and eventually a working professional relationship. In 1987 Eskelin began developing original music with drummer Phil Haynes leading to the formation of the cooperative group "Joint Venture" (with trumpeter Paul Smoker and bassist Drew Gress) as well as numerous other projects centered around Haynes' Brooklyn loft and rehearsal space. Along with a group of like-minded musicians they presented a number of annual self-produced festivals in Manhattan at the Knitting Factory which ran into the early 1990s. These performances and subsequent recordings by these groups led to Eskelin's initial exposure on the European touring circuit.

1990s
Eskelin began touring Europe regularly with drummer Joey Baron's group "Baron Down", a trio including Baron, Eskelin and trombonist Steve Swell (and later trombonist Josh Roseman). Baron Down released three recordings: Tongue in Groove (1991), Raised Pleasure Dot (1993) and Crack Shot (1996). At this time Eskelin abandoned commercially oriented work in order to concentrate fully on his own projects and the music of like-minded colleagues. During a three-month period in 1991 he developed a solo saxophone concert program in complete musical isolation, opting not to perform or interact with any other musicians during this time. In addition to entirely revamping his approach to the saxophone the process proved to be a catalyst for musical ideas that Eskelin further developed and applied to his compositions for the group he formed in 1994, "Ellery Eskelin with Andrea Parkins and Jim Black". This group, featuring Parkins on accordion and electronics and Black on percussion released "Jazz Trash" in 1995 and followed up with a dozen recordings over the ensuing decade and into the 2000s primarily for the Swiss-based Hat Hut label. In the liner notes to "One Great Day..." (the band's second release) Eskelin explains that the fractured and sometimes incongruent nature of his experiences as a musician coming up in the 1970s and 1980s finally came together in a manner that made sense and could be expressed in a unified musical language with this ensemble. The group toured regularly in Europe, the U.S. and Canada and continues, having performed in Europe as recently as 2010.

One of Eskelin's most acclaimed recordings in the 1990s was "The Sun Died" a project based upon music by (and associated with) saxophonist Gene Ammons. The format was unusual, utilizing saxophone, guitar (Marc Ribot) and drums (Kenny Wolleson). The New York Times characterized The Sun Died as "a remarkable record" and chose it as one of the Top 10 Recordings of 1996.

2000s
Throughout the first decade of the 2000s Eskelin focused primarily on his group with Andrea Parkins and Jim Black, touring and recording, occasionally augmenting the band with additional musicians such as vocalist Jessica Constable, keyboardist Philippe Gelda, cellist Erik Friedlander, tubist Joseph Daley, guitarist Marc Ribot and bassist Melvin Gibbs. Additionally, Eskelin continued to maintain long-time musical relationships established in the 1990s, touring and recording with bassist Mark Helias (recordings include Open Loose, Fictionary, Loopin' the Cool), drummer Gerry Hemingway ("Johnny's Corner Song", "Devil's Paradise", "Songs", "The Whimbler", "Riptide"), drummer Han Bennink ("Dissonant Characters"), drummer Bobby Previte ("Set the Alarm for Monday") and drummer Daniel Humair (Liberté Surveilé). Eskelin also forged new ties with musicians from around the globe such as oud player Rabih Abou-Khalil, pianist Satoko Fujii, trumpeter Dennis González, clarinetist Ben Goldberg, bassist Lisle Ellis, pianist Erik Deutsch and drummer John Hollenbeck. Eskelin also made a guest artist appearance on the BBC Electric Proms Festival in London with the Basquiat Strings in 2007. In 2009 Eskelin was the recipient of a Chamber Music America "New Jazz Works" grant which commissioned an extended work for the group "Different But the Same", a quartet with fellow saxophonist David Liebman.

During this time Eskelin also continued launching new projects of his own (leaning towards complete improvisation) such as "Vanishing Point", a group-improvised recording from 2000 with Mat Maneri (viola), Erik Friedlander (cello), Mark Dresser (bass) and Matt Moran (vibraphone). An improvising trio of cellist Vincent Courtois, pianist Sylvie Courvoisier and Eskelin was formed in 2002 and recorded "As Soon as Possible" in 2008.

2010–present
In 2011 Eskelin formed "Trio New York" with Hammond B3 organist Gary Versace and drummer Gerald Cleaver. A renewed interest in the early history of the saxophone (sparked by his switch to a vintage instrument in 2009) has invigorated Eskelin's musical aesthetic. Trio New York incorporates standard material from the Great American Songbook (much of the repertoire being inspired by his mother, organist Bobbie Lee) in a freely improvised setting. In comparing the group's eponymous recording to an earlier project by Eskelin devoted to the music of saxophonist Gene Ammons (The Sun Died, 1996), reviewer Ed Hazel wrote: "If anything, Trio New York is both subtler and more adventurous, more at home with the music and less self conscious about taking liberties with it." The group has released three recordings, Trio New York, Trio New York II and Trio Willisau Live, this most recent release being a live recording from the Willisau Festival in 2015 and featuring Gerry Hemingway on the drums. The UK based Wire Magazine wrote of this project, “There’s a whole history of jazz in these richly rewarding performances.”

In 2013 Eskelin released a new recorded project for clean feed records entitled Mirage, improvisations with Susan Alcorn (pedal steel guitar) and Michael Formanek (double bass). Eskelin remarked that he was interested in exploring the "expressive range of the saxophone that is perhaps most associated with its beginnings" and that his objective is to "bring that type of lyricism to the language of contemporary improvised music." Continuing with this idea, in the liner notes to his 2015 release Solo Live at Snugs on hatOLOGY records, Eskelin discusses a revamped approach to solo saxophone performance, updating his 1992 release Premonition - Solo Tenor Saxophone in which he compares the two projects by saying “As opposed to reimagining my instrument I’m very much interested in the essence of a saxophone as being just what it is, a saxophone.”

In 2016 Eskelin was interviewed by the web based music journal “Point of Departure” in which he conveyed his increasing advocacy of acoustic (non-amplified) performance in humanistic, if not spiritual terms, also expressing concern about the effect of technology on the artistic experience as well as the potential disruption of personal and community engagement. Expanding on his thoughts regarding music and spirituality, Eskelin (a formal practitioner of Zen Buddhism ) was interviewed in the book “Spirits Rejoice!: Jazz and American Religion” by Jason Bivins.

Eskelin’s current working ensemble includes bassist Christian Weber (from Zürich) and Michael Griener on drums (based in Berlin). The group performs acoustically (no microphones on stage and bassist Weber opting not to use an amplifier) performing freely improvised music juxtaposed with early jazz classics by composers such as Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton and Fats Waller. The trio records for the Swiss Intakt label having released “Sensations of Tone” in 2017 followed by "The Pearls" in 2019.

Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk

The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk (formerly Maritime Center) is an aquarium located in the South Norwalk (or "SoNo") section of Norwalk, Connecticut.

The aquarium features harbor seals, river otters, sharks, jellyfish, loggerhead turtles, and hundreds of other animals living in re-creations of their natural Long Island Sound habitats. Three touch-tanks feature stingrays, nurse sharks, crabs, sea stars, moon jellyfish and other coastal creatures.

In addition to its exhibits, The Maritime Aquarium offers educational programs, year-round cruises on its 64-foot research vessel R/V Spirit of the Sound, special events and camps.

Mission
The Maritime Aquarium inspires people of all ages to appreciate and protect the Long Island Sound ecosystem and the global environment through living exhibits, marine science, and environmental education.

Attendance
The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk is one of Connecticut's top tourist attractions. Annual attendance averages 500,000 visitors, about 100,000 of whom are from New York state. The Maritime Aquarium's estimated statewide economic impact is almost $42 million; it contributes approximately $25 million to Norwalk's economy every year.

The aquarium's budget for the 2006-2007 fiscal year was about $10.7 million. More than $4 million came in from admissions, with 36 percent coming from out-of-state visitors. Demonstrating increasing regional appeal, out-of-state attendance revenue has increased 55% since 2002.

Additional revenues are generated from educational programming fees, the gift shop, catering, business dinners, other events such as weddings, and donations. The state gave it a grant of $675,000 to promote tourism in 2007.

History
The "Maritime Center" opened July 16, 1988. The name was changed to the "Maritime Aquarium" in July 1996 to emphasize the live animals featured there.

It first opened by renovating a former 1860s iron works factory into an IMAX theater. Visitors, as they walk past the Ray Touch Pool toward the Marine Lab, still tread on the original wood floors (under original wood beams) of the iron works. Occupying approximately 100,000 gross square feet, the first animal exhibits included harbor seals, Open Ocean and Touch Tank.

The cultural section of the aquarium originally explored boat building and human exploration of the sea, but the boatbuilding activities were eliminated in early 2007. In the final seven years of its 19-year run, the boatbuilding program constructed about 500 boats, and 20,000 children took part in classes that created more than 5,000 model boats, but aquarium officials said the shop only served three to five percent of patrons.

The boatbuilding shop was replaced with a new Marine Lab, with baby seahorses, jellyfish, and other new animals, as well as information on aquaculture, sustainable seafood, and responsible home aquarium keeping.

 * 1991: Exhibit space is expanded by adding the 7000 sqft "Featured Exhibits" area, a semi-permanent fabric and steel structure. The first exhibit is Real Sea Monsters, featuring extinct sea creatures like Kronosaurus and Megalodon.
 * 1994: Outdoor exhibit space, including bleachers, is added along the Norwalk River for summertime exhibits and shows. It opens with a bird-of-prey show.
 * 1995: Jellyfish Encounter opens. Aquarium curators solve significant challenges to display these delicate animals that are approximately 95% water.
 * 1996: The Maritime Center changes its name to The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, to better identify itself to the public and underscore the increasing importance of live animal exhibits. River Otters and Ray Touch Pool open.
 * 2001: The aquarium expands into the Hatch and Bailey factory building, converting and rehabilitating 33000 sqft of space into a new, $9.5 million Environmental Education Center (funded through corporate, private and state contributions). New space allows a reconfiguring of the existing aquarium:
 * Giant Sea Turtles opens, including a 15,000-gallon habitat, interpretive signs, and turtle shell photo opportunity.
 * A new main entrance improves visitor reception and admission.
 * New Oyster Hall (group orientation space and lunchroom) opens just off of the main entrance, which allow for staging and organizing busloads of visiting students.
 * New high-tech classrooms (with multimedia and wet lab facilities) are added, as are teachers' rooms, to expand the Maritime Aquarium's educational programs.
 * Cascade Cafe opens with seating for 180 people.
 * Gift shop moves and expands.
 * 2006: Touch Tank is moved and greatly enhanced, creating a more natural display, allowing animals to live "on-site" and offering better access to visitors. The aquarium's volunteer staff funds reconstruction.
 * 2007: Frogs! opens, a new permanent exhibit displaying amphibians from Long Island Sound's shores and watershed, as well as exotic species from around the world, to draw attention to the importance of amphibians as bellwether species for environmental change. The small boat building shop is closed.
 * 2008: During the summer, the Great White Alligator is displayed in the outdoor exhibit space.
 * 2009: African Penguins temporary outdoor exhibit opens.
 * 2010: Temporary Meerkat Exhibit opens.
 * 2012: FINtastic RefurbFISHment is unveiled with new sea life and hands-on-exhibits. The white alligator also returned to the aquarium for the summer.

In recent years, the Maritime Aquarium has emphasized helping visitors understand the ecology of Long Island Sound and its watershed. The aquarium participates in and directs local scientific research on Long Island Sound's animal residents, including a counting and tagging program for horseshoe crab and annual counts of harbor seal. The Maritime Aquarium also helped create the Long Island Sound Biodiversity Database, which is open to the public.

In 2006, the aquarium became a partner with SeafoodWatch, a program that encourages consumers to make responsible seafood choices that have a low impact on the environment and promote sustainable fisheries.

In February 2021, the aquarium replaced its now closed IMAX theatre with a new 4-D movie theatre.

Exhibits
The Maritime Aquarium is approximately 140000 sqft and has more than 177,000 gallons of water in its live animal exhibits. On exhibit are more than 2,700 animals, representing in excess of 300 species.

As of 2019, exhibits include "Just Add Water," "Journey with Jellies," "Harbor Seals," "River Otters," "Shark and Ray Touch Pool," "Ocean Beyond the Sound," Sea Turtles," and "Jiggle-a-Jelly."

Talk:Bivens Arm

Definition of an Arm
What the **** is an "arm"? 206.173.157.83

 * An 'arm' is an extended portion of a lake - in this case, Paynes Prairie. Think of it as the lake version of a peninsula. - Aerobird 02:23, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Google Maps discrepancy
Google Maps seems to call this body of water Bivans Arm, as do a few other sketchy web sources. I've redirected it here for now. --Absenteeist Ⓣ Ⓒ 04:01, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Talk:JUnit

Advertising
This page seems a lot like an ad.
 * Probably because it was taken straight from an article. See below.

sdf Um, possible plagiarism alert: the first paragraph reads very much like this paragraph from an IBM website:

"JUnit is the de facto standard unit testing library for the Java™ language. ... JUnit, developed by Kent Beck and Erich Gamma, is almost indisputably the single most important third-party Java library ever developed. As Martin Fowler has said, "Never in the field of software development was so much owed by so many to so few lines of code." JUnit kick-started and then fueled the testing explosion. Thanks to JUnit, Java code tends to be far more robust, reliable, and bug free than code has ever been before. JUnit (itself inspired by Smalltalk's SUnit) has inspired a whole family of xUnit tools bringing the benefits of unit testing to a wide range of languages. nUnit (.NET), pyUnit (Python), CppUnit (C++), dUnit (Delphi), and others have test-infected programmers on a multitude of platforms and languages."

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-junit4.html?ca=dgr-lnxw01JUnit4

In fact, most of the article seems to be plagiarized from the IBM page. I'm removing the plagiarized parts.

do we say Junit or JUnit ?

 * JUnit. And yes, it is really very important. I make my students use it :) I'll see if I can fix anything. --WiseWoman (talk) 14:41, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Typical Use of JUnit
The code example provided as a "Hello World" implementation of sorts appears that it really doesn't emphasize the benefits of unit testing nor is it a typical example. Rather, a better code example may appear as:

"Multiplier" example in JUnit:

public class MultiplierTest extends TestCase {   public void testMultiplication {     // Testing if the Multiplier class agrees that, 2*2=4: assertEquals ("Multiplication", 4, Multiplier.multiply (2, 2) ); Log.i("LOG", "this is sample page!"); } }

There are several issues to consider here: 1) Wikipedia programming language articles usually present an example of the source code in the form of the customary "Hello World" process. However, JUnit is not a programming language.  Instead, 2) JUnit has conventions: it is conventional to see test case class names end with "Test", as well as the prefix name specified as the name of the class being tested. Also, something more meaningful is usually printed in the assertion message (probably not "Multiplication"). 3) Albeit, the original example does offer a fundamental test using only the framework and the core of the Java virtual machine and language specifications. 4) Unit testing is an attempt to test something else, by usually creating a code unit to test another code unit. In the original example, perhaps this was to test the virtual machine's ability to multiply 2 and 2. This compares well with the Mauve article as it is sited for comparison after the example. Unfortunately, 5) typical unit tests execute other code bodies outside of the virtual machine, and most frequently, developer created application (client or server) code units as suggested in the example above. Lastly, 6) application code units are mere clients of the JVM's services. A common objective of a JUnit test is to ascertain the ability of the application code unit to consume/manipulate those services properly to achieve the desired end state or requirement. A JUnit test rarely tests the JVM's services directly.

The original example appears to miss the point of JUnit in practice and as a consequence does not offer much redeeming value to the reader. The example offered above seems to reflect a more common/characteristic perspective of what [Java] unit testing seeks to accomplish. I'm not saying that JUnit testing can't be used to test the JVM as this obviously is a practice - yet this practice isn't nearly as common. 71.253.210.107 04:46, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

 * These are all very important points and need to be in the article! --WiseWoman (talk) 14:41, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Origins of JUnit/SUnit
The article states that "...the xUnit family of frameworks that originated with Kent Beck's SUnit." While that is at least partially true, there are is at least one ancestor that should be discussed: the Taligent Test Framework. I've written about its history on my blog:

http://shebanation.com/2007/08/21/a-brief-history-of-test-frameworks/

David McCusker, who was the primary author of the Taligent Test Framework, has posted a followup on his own blog:

Ports
If JUnit is not the original xUnit (article implies sUnit was) then does the list of "Ports" belong here? Are these Ports of JUnit or frameworks inspired by SUnit? This list probably more properly belongs on the xUnit page Dichohecho (talk) 14:22, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * To say that "sUnit was first" would raise eyebrows, to say the least. It may well have been, but it was JUnit which achieved mass traction and popularised the concept. sUnit is itself pretty late and testing frameworks like this can be traced back to the early '90s, although the technique was obscure and none of those frameworks were being shared between projects or teams. The ancestry of the expansion if through JUnit, not sUnit, even if JUnit itself derived from sUnit. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:44, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

ReadyLink

ReadyLink was a "walkie-talkie" service, which used Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), offered by the Sprint Nextel Corporation, in an effort to compete with then-separate Nextel Communications. It was necessary to have a Sanyo or a Samsung ReadyLink capable phone and a matching service-plan in order to use this feature. ReadyLink sought to mimic the forerunning "MOTO Talk"/Nextel walkie-talkie service, except that ReadyLink was created to operate on the Sprint CDMA network. It was discontinued shortly after the Sprint PCS acquisition of Nextel Communications.

Sprint has replaced Readylink with Qualcomm's QChat. This technology will run over the Sprint high-speed EV-DO data network, giving it the closest comparable speeds to Motorola's iDEN Direct-Connect in the push-to-talk industry.

In Canada, the Bell Mobility network (including Aliant and SaskTel Mobility) implements similar technology with their 10-4 service. Some of the same phones are available, and Bell subscribers can roam with the service on Sprint's network.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Albion (Gundam)/archive1

Albion (Gundam)
This is an article that I have been working on for quite some time now, and I think it has a good chance of becoming featured. This article deals with the Pegasus-Class Assault Carrier Albion, which was the main ship in the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. I do ask one favor though: have some patients if I don't get back to your comments and suggestions as quickly as I should. Collage work is demanding, and school of nessesity must come before Wikipedia. This is definatly a self nomination. TomStar81 05:14, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Object
 * The image Image:Albion subclass MS carrier.jpg has no source information, and there is no evidence of how the quoted FAQ applies to the image.
 * The image Image:EFSF2.PNG has no source information, and is listed on WP:PUI.
 * The images Image:Albion at Torrington.jpg, Image:Albion and MS.jpg do not indicate the creator/copyright holder or source of the image, and do not have a fair use rationale. Further, these images don't add significantly to the article, and aren't under a free license, so I'd suggest simply removing them entirely.
 * The article has far too much coverage of "Albion as a ship in Gundam" and no coverage of "Albion as a fictional starship".
 * Honestly, unless there's a lot more to say about this article than I expect, I'd suggest condensing the "ship history" section down to a paragraph or two and look for another article to merge it into. --Carnildo 06:43, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

 * 1.The image Image:Albion subclass MS carrier.jpg has no source information, and there is no evidence of how the quoted FAQ applies to the image.
 * Could I pester you to get a little bit more specific with this part of your objection? Rather basically speaking, the source is the website mahq.com, and they allow anyone use of their images for any reason. If you want specifics, I could add that its use is for illistrative purposes. Would that work?
 * 2. The image Image:EFSF2.PNG has no source information, and is listed on WP:PUI.
 * Actually, if you look back you will see that this picture was deleted once before only to be resurrected by User:Name under a new name. If User:Name would bother adding a website for us we could get around this particular fiasco, but at the moment I cannot give and adequete defense if this pic. If User:Name fails to put a website source for the photo then by this time tommarrow I will remove it from the article.
 * 3. The images Image:Albion at Torrington.jpg, Image:Albion and MS.jpg do not indicate the creator/copyright holder or source of the image, and do not have a fair use rationale. Further, these images don't add significantly to the article, and aren't under a free license, so I'd suggest simply removing them entirely.
 * From Wikipedia: What is a Featured Article?: It should have images where appropriate, with succinct captions and acceptable copyright status... Given this, I think the images are apropraite. The first image illistrates the size of Albion in realtion to other buildings and vehicals, and also gives a nice ariel view of what a Pegasus-Class Assault Carrier looks like. The second picture demonstrates the type and size of the mobile suits Albion carries. Since the article deals with a fictional ship in an anime series the fact that the images are all fair use is something you're just going to have to accept, unless of course you want to spend two weeks with me hand drawing the pictures so we can put a PD liscence on them :)
 * 4.The article has far too much coverage of "Albion as a ship in Gundam" and no coverage of "Albion as a fictional starship".
 * Albion is a ship in Gundam. The Gundam universe is centered around the Mobile Suits, which is why this article stands out. Trying to remove Albion from the Gundam Universe would be like trying to remove Enterprise from Star Trek: the underlining message would be "good luck with that".
 * 5.''...unless there's a lot more to say about this article than I expect, I'd suggest condensing the "ship history" section down to a paragraph or two and look for another article to merge it into.
 * I and to other users had this discussion before over the United States battleship Missouri. The page deals with one ship from a class of ships, so anyone coming to this page ought to be interrested in the ships history and its lifespan. Merging the article would only ensure that the ship and it details get lost in the site. TomStar81 21:09, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

 * With regards to Image:Albion subclass MS carrier.jpg, I assume that it is not an image they made themselves. Therefore it is either a scan or a screenshot, and thus there needs to be an indication of what it is a scan or screenshot from.  If it is from a copyrighted work, it also needs a "fair use" rationale.

 * Image:Albion at Torrington.jpg doesn't do a good job of indicating scale; the size information in the infobox does a better job. And Image:Albion and MS.jpg doesn't really show much of anything -- it's too dark, too small, and not from a good angle.  Since Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia, "fair use" and other non-free images should only be used if nothing else will work, and in this case, the infobox is sufficient.

 * Yes, Albion is a ship in Gundam. But the article is written from the point of view of an author living in the Gundam universe, not from the point of view of an author here on Earth.  For an article in Wikipedia, that needs to be changed.  And once you stop writing from within the Gundam universe, a lot of the information in the "ship history" section becomes a lot less important. --Carnildo 00:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Couldn't writting from the point of an author in the Gundam universe be an advantage? As it stands at least three other universal century pages — White Base, Grey Phantom, and Ra Cailum — are written in this manner, and I do believe that the Archangel class MS Carriers from the alternative Cosmic Era are also written as such. I'm sorry, but I still fail to see how this style of writting subtracts from the overall quality. From my POV this is no different than detailing a real ship's history. TomStar81 01:48, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * It might be an advantage for a Gundam-centered encyclopedia. This is a general-knowlege encyclopedia.  Compare our article on USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) with that of Memory Alpha: USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). --Carnildo 06:56, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Object a) fails to cover influence in real world: how many models etc. sold? b) comments in footnotes should rather be part of respective articles (e.g. courts martial) use HTML comments if aiming at editors,\. c) history should focus on ship d) history should be more condensed anyway e) fails to cite sources enough; not clear which would cover whichf) fails to mention artistic history; what similar previous ships have existed in past other stories.  g) the last picture is too dark, using only about 1/5 to 1/4 of the JPEG dynamic range.  h) language like "both were sunk" means "both were destroyed" I understand.  Convert to standard usage rather than one which from Gundam. Mozzerati 18:45, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

 * 1. fails to cover influence in real world: how many models etc. sold?
 * I have yet to find model information for this ship. I know that models of the ship have been sold because I can find a limited number of people who have bought and constructed them, but there really isn't a public figure that reports on this.
 * 2. comments in footnotes should rather be part of respective articles
 * Accoriding to Wikipedia: What is a Feature Article? such an article should be well written and comprehensive. Adding information about the Republic of Zeon and the Earth Federation into the article would subtract from the article by deviating from Albion, which is why the first two notes are at the bottom. The note about the court martial is their because I hope that people will read it before they incorrectly correct the word to say "court martials" instead of "courts martial".
 * 3. history should focus on ship
 * I belive that it is focused on the ship, so you are going to have to explain what mean on this one.
 * 4. history should be more condensed anyway
 * Compared to other articles the history is condensed. This is one ship, and its history is long enough to cover all the important points and short enough to hold an attention span.
 * 5. fails to cite sources enough; not clear which would cover which
 * By its very nature the ships history is taken from the primary source Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. Most books and websites only give overviews of the story, not of the ship. Its not that I don't want to add more sources, its just that finding a needle in a mountain of needles is difficult.
 * 6. fails to mention artistic history; what similar previous ships have existed in past other stories
 * I'm not sure what you mean by articstic history, but Albion is the 7th Pegasus-Class Assault Carrier, so if you're looking for information regarding the previous ships of the class I suggest checking out Pegasus page, which was created with just exactly this situation in mind.

 * Comment. Sigh. Please don't nominate animecruft like this. It's of very little value except to diehard fans. While I'll probably get the usual protests from every other anime fans and their dog who claim that "all article are equal", this one simply isn't. It's not useful as information about either anime or the series itself. Please concentrate on FAC:ing higher level articles (Gundam) instead of minutiae. Try to rise just a little bit above your own interests and think "how does this help others to better understand my interests". In this case, it simply doesn't unless you're already a pretty devout Gundam or action anime fan. / Peter Isotalo 06:45, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * This comment reads like an objection (it is hardly supportive). As such, nothing can be done in principle to "fix" the source of this objection. It can therefore be ignored. The precedent is that subject matter is never a valid reason to reject an article from Featured status. What makes a subject interesting or boring is in the eye of the beholder. If an article has the rigor to be Featured, that alone makes it of sufficient interest. --Susurrus 11:07, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Err, it's not an objection because there is nothing in the criteria that dictates that common sense should be used when nominatin for FAC. This, just like spoo, is not common sense. And please note that it's not due to hatred for all things sci-fi or anime or comletely subjective epithets like "boring" or "interesting", but because it's of virtually no use to people who aren't already die-hard fans. If I want to inform people about Danish, I do it by first FAC:ing the actual main article or maybe something like Danish phonology, not by starting a sub-sub-sub-article on the subject of Schwa-assimilation in Standard Copenhagen Danish and trying to push that as "the best of Wikipedia". It's correct if you only consider policy, but that's about it.
 * Peter Isotalo 16:39, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Common sense is also in the eye of the beholder. Who cares whether the information is of "use" to anybody? Ninety percent of the information in this encyclopedia is useless and it can still get featured. If he can develop an article about Albion with enough rigour to get it featured, that's fine. If you can write about schwa-assimilation to Featured quality, that's fine. It matters how good the article actually is and not what it's about. As far as I'm concerned that is common sense. --Susurrus 12:43, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Object. It's a long way from an encyclopedia article; it's just a superficial account of a story that is of no interest to the public at large. Why has it been nominated for FA status? The lead dives in as though we're all familiar with the topic: is it a film, a computer game, or what? Why not let people DO it, rather than read about it here? Prose is faulty, opaque, and unexplained in various places. Text is jammed up against the text box at right. Second image way too dark. It's just twaddle. Tony 13:05, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Be careful with that "public at large" line, unless you've gone out an interviewed people regarding this articles and is FAC canidacy you're only speaking for your self. TomStar81

I trimmed the article dawn some. Let me know if this is an improvement. TomStar81 22:42, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Princelings

Article is completely biased, as-is
This article is extremely biased and one-sided. The word "princeling" has many other connotation, historically. At best, the entire context of this article deserves to be relegated to one section of another, more-inclusive one.

Pazouzou (talk) 07:10, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Agreed, according to this article itself, the term princelings can have many connatations outside PRC. Yet it mainly reflects one respect which is arguably a violation of the NPOV policy. INDICATOR2018 (talk) 13:51, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

I found it was identical to the text in.
Do I have the right to propose a deletion voting and how can I do this? Xiaojeng 05:17, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

I removed alot of the editorialising (eg. "it is fair to say many of them are arrogant and domineering", i switched it to "many of them are perceived to be arrogant and undeserving of the fortune or prominence they holding").

"As a party governed by collective dictatorship, Chinese Communist Party would not advocate free election and speech. Those senor leaders think they have made contributions to the establishment of this government, thus it is legal for them and their families to enjoy the fruit of governance without any saying. Furthermore, it is naturally for them to pick up their own children to succeed this kingdom, so as to make sure it wouldn’t be overthrown by peace transition launched by western countries. As a result, the "Crown Princes" are often having important offices or big fortunes much faster and more convenient than other ordinary people or cadres, regardless of their possible incompetence ."

That whole paragraph is just an editorial, doesn't belong here.

"Furthermore, with the quest for democracy and liberty being insurmountable, CCP leaders still strongly resist this historic trend and would like their own children or relatives to succeed their reign so as to keep the life of totalitarianism forever young."

Editorial.

"It is without any doubt as CCP governance goes on for another day, the Crown Prince Party will go on for another day too"

Editorial.

I still think this whole article is just crap. Alot of it just reads just like a editorial. I think the photos and the names and the first paragraph is NPOV. The rest are just opinions written with bad spelling and english.

210.84.37.134 12:19, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Merge with Nepotism
I don't think that's a good idea. The CPP is an example for Nepotism, but Nepotism is not identical to the CPP. -85.181.9.113 22:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Updates
I've updated a few job titles among the examples. DOR (HK) (talk) 06:49, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Broken link
This link doesn't work; does anyone have a better one? 中共「太子黨」 ("Crown Prince Party" of the Communist China) (in Traditional Chinese) A name list and some problems.
 * DOR (HK) (talk) 06:38, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Removal of the example of Li Gang
Li Gang, whose son Li Qiming was involved in a famous hit-and-run accident, is only a low-ranking police officer in Baoding city. He is not even close to the level of other examples. Therefore I think it's not proper to list him in the examples and have removed that item. Gareth (talk) 23:22, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * This might be worth a "see also" mention, as some of the themes are quite similar. Colipon+ (Talk) 05:45, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

COMMONNAME
In recent media reports, I feel that the name "Princelings" have been used much more frequently than the "Crown Prince Party", a direct translation of the Chinese words taizidang that never picked up common usage in the English-language media. Thus I am proposing that per WP:COMMONNAME, we move this page to Princelings. Colipon+ (Talk) 17:41, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I second this. I've actually never heard "Crown Prince" be used in this context, and I study China...  S ven M anguard   Wha?  16:12, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

 * The page isn't protected, so any registered user can move it if there's consensus to do so. Princelings has only one edit, so can be overwritten by a page move.  An  optimist on the  run!  21:51, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

 * moved. -- Ohconfucius  ¡digame! 22:26, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * It looks the type of naming here can be similar Russian 'apparatchik', that literally were named State Officials in Soviet Union, people who love to work inside an party apparatus. So, then, Wikipedia page can be looking like just 'Taizidang' if we want to be academical? The same Japanese Sushi, Emoji, Russian Sputnik, Perestroika. So, in my opinion, better to call this Taizidang (instead of redirection). PoetVeches (talk) 22:18, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Siripuram, Guntur district

Siripuram is a village in the Guntur district of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is located in the Medikonduru mandal of Guntur revenue division.

Geography
Siripuram is situated to the north of the mandal headquarters, Medikonduru, at 16.18°N, 80.29°W. It is spread over an area of 1641 ha.

Governance
Siripuram gram panchayat is the local self-government of the village. It is divided into wards and each ward is represented by a ward member. The village forms a part of Andhra Pradesh Capital Region and is under the jurisdiction of APCRDA.

Siripuram is mentioned in the previous studies regarding governance in the 12th century:

Velanati Chodas took a keen interest in excavating tanks and digging canals. Many tanks were dedicated to temples. In Talagadadivi the paddy and sugarcane fields were said to have been abundant with water by tanks in the vicinity. Velanati Choda-II constructed three tanks, one at Siripuram and two at Marripundi in Ungini-marga to a temple. An inscription from Mandapadu, Guntur district, dated 1168 A.D., belonging to the Velanati Rajendra Choda-II, mentions tanks, viz., Prolinayaka cheruvu, Karanam maraya cheruvu, Kotta cheruvu, Narayana cheruvu and a tank (name not mentioned).

Historical significance
On a stone in front of a ruined temple near the tank in Siripuram is an inscription from A. D. 1165 relating how the Chalukya Kingdom passed into the hands of the Chola kings. Adjoining the village of Patibandla is a mass of black rock crowned by temples said to have been built circa A. D. An inscription in Telugu records that Kondarnanidu, son of Gopapatrudu, on horseback crossed over the rock from west to east. The neighboring villages of Jellil-puram and Musapuram took their names from two Muhammadan jagirdars, Jellil Khan and Musa Khan.

Education
As per the school information report for the academic year 2018–19, the village has a total of 13 schools. These include eight Zilla Parishad/MPP and five private schools.

Tooheys New

Tooheys New is a standard Australian lager.

It can be found on tap at almost any bar in New South Wales and has historically been the state's number 1 beer.

History
It was first brewed in 1931 and was marketed under the name Tooheys New Special. In the 1970s, the beer began being marketed as Tooheys New Special Draught when sold in cans and bottles, later shortened to Tooheys Draught. Tap beer was still sold as Tooheys New, however. In 1998, the company decided to sell the beer under one name across all modes as Tooheys New. In the mid-1970s the beer was successfully promoted with a jingle 'I feel like a Tooheys or two', one of the more successful campaigns in Australian advertising. The jingle's ubiquitous presence registered such that when school children were tested and asked to complete the following: 'I feel like...’ For the vast majority there was only one right answer: 'A Tooheys' The jingle also made an impression on touring rocker David Bowie who sang it during the encore of his final Australian concert in 1978. Around 2008/09, Tooheys New began a marketing campaign, to have only 5 ingredients. Malt, hops, barley, yeast and sugar to break away from previous brew with many additives.

In 2023, the brand revived its iconic 'I feel like a Tooheys or two' advertising campaign as a part of an update to packaging and branding to create a more modern look whilst maintaining the core elements of the stag and the colours. One advertisement features a matchwinning chargedown in a rugby league game, while the other features a concert.

Sponsorships
As the traditional number one beer in New South Wales, Tooheys New is also a major sponsor of the most popular sport in the state, rugby league. Tooheys New sponsors the New South Wales rugby league team in the annual State of Origin series. The Tooheys New logo appears on the Blues' sleeves. The team was previously known by the sponsored name of the Tooheys Blues. Tooheys New is also the sponsor of many Country Rugby League competitions across the state as well as being available at almost every rugby league venue in the state.

Tooheys New was also the official sponsor of the New South Wales Rugby Union's club competition (the Tooheys New Cup), and was also the official beer of the Wallabies and sponsors the Melbourne Cup. Through 2006, it was also naming sponsor of the Australian section of the Super 14 Rugby Competition, but was replaced by Investec Bank after their sponsorship contract expired. The brand also sponsored VFL clubs St Kilda and Sydney in the 1980s in an effort to nationalise the brand in southern and western states.

White Stag
In September 2008, Tooheys came out with a low-carbohydrate beer product called Tooheys New White Stag. It is a full strength beer with the claim of "only one third of the carbs of standard full strength beers". The name has been re-used from Tooheys Stag lager released in 1930. Toohey's advertising blurb claims that New is equivalent to the old Stag lager.

Emanuel Pogatetz

Emanuel Pogatetz (born 16 January 1983) is an Austrian professional football coach and a former player. He is currently an assistant coach at Premier League club Crystal Palace.

As a player, he appeared for FC Kärnten, Bayer Leverkusen II, FC Aarau, Spartak Moscow, Middlesbrough, Hannover 96, Vfl Wolfsburg, West Ham United, 1. FC Nürnberg, Columbus Crew SC, Union Berlin, and LASK Linz. At international level, he represented Austria at under-16, under-18, under-19, under-21 and full international level. He was nicknamed "Mad Dog" for his aggressive style of play on the field.

Club career
Born in Graz, Pogatetz's career started at Sturm Graz, before going to Kärnten, and later to Bayer Leverkusen. After a loan spells at Aarau, Grazer AK, and Spartak Moscow, he joined Middlesbrough.

He had also been tracked by Fulham, but during his final match on loan at Spartak Moscow, he tackled Yaroslav Kharitonskiy, leaving the Russian with a double leg fracture. Although initially banned for 24 weeks by the Russian Football Union, the suspension was later reduced to eight weeks after Pogatetz attended a personal hearing in Moscow. As the ban commenced in June and was specified as a length of time rather than a number of matches, he ended up missing only three games for his new club Middlesbrough.

Middlesbrough
Signed by manager Steve McClaren for £1.8 million, his Middlesbrough debut came on 25 August 2005 against Charlton Athletic. With Pogatetz coming on in the second half for Franck Queudrue, Middlesbrough lost 3–0. On 30 March 2006, during the first leg of Middlesbrough's 2–0 UEFA Cup quarter-final defeat against Basel, Pogatetz broke his nose, jaw and cheekbone in an accidental clash of heads with Mladen Petrić and was later warned against returning to full training for three months, for fear of losing his eyesight. He underwent successful surgery to have the fractures reset and Dr. Douglas Bryan declared himself "delighted" with Pogatetz's progress. "It is anticipated he will make a full recovery and be back with his team-mates for pre-season training," said Middlesbrough head physio Grant Downie. "The only disappointing thing for Manny [Pogatetz] is he won't be able to play football, and he was desperate to get back involved. But another blow to his face would risk severe trauma and a potentially eyesight-threatening injury."

Pogatetz suffered from a hernia, for which he received corrective surgery in Munich on 24 April 2006. On 4 July, he returned to training following successful surgery on his hernia and cheek.

In the 2006–07 season, Pogatetz was forced into the centre of defence due to an injury to Chris Riggott. He formed impressive partnerships at the back with both Robert Huth and Jonathan Woodgate, but was able to keep his place, even upon the returns of Woodgate and Riggott. Middlesbrough coach McClaren said "He never, ever, gives less than 300% in performance." After the 2007–08 season, Pogatetz was given the captain's armband on a full-time basis, following his taking up of the role towards the end of the season. Already known for his disciplinary problems having been booked 20 times in his first two seasons with Middlesbrough, in September 2008 he was involved in a challenge on Manchester United's Rodrigo Possebon in a League Cup game which resulted in Possebon being stretchered from the pitch and having to spend the night in hospital. United manager Alex Ferguson said of the incident "It was an absolutely terrible tackle. Pogatetz should have just walked off the field." Pogatetz was sent-off and served a three match ban. Pogatetz returned in the 2009–10 season after a long injury layoff, on 31 October in a 1–0 loss to Plymouth Argyle, only to suffer a recurrence of his cheekbone fracture with the scores tied at 0–0. He made his return to the first team against Nottingham Forest on 21 November in a 1–1 draw. He had to wear a protective mask because of his cheekbone fracture which he picked up in the Plymouth game. He received a bang to the head in the Forest game and had to receive stitches at half time, he still completed the full 90 minutes.

Hannover 96
On 2 June 2010, he signed for Hannover 96 on a three-year contract making his debut on 21 August in a 2–1 home win against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Wolfsburg
On 20 June 2012, Pogatetz signed for VfL Wolfsburg. He made his debut on 18 August 2012 in a 5–0 away win at FC Schönberg 95, assisting the fourth goal by Bas Dost.

West Ham United (loan)
On 28 January 2013, Pogatetz signed, on loan until the end of the season, with West Ham United. His West Ham debut came on 2 February in a 1–0 home win against Swansea City when he came on as a 90th-minute substitute for Kevin Nolan. He played five more times, before returning to Wolfsburg.

1. FC Nürnberg
On 2 July 2013, Pogatetz signed with 1. FC Nürnberg in a swap deal that saw Timm Klose go to Wolfsburg. He made 23 league appearances for the side, scoring once.

Columbus Crew
On 9 September 2014, Pogatetz signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with Columbus Crew SC of Major League Soccer. Over two seasons with the Ohio-based club, he made 24 appearances.

Union Berlin
On 5 January 2016, Pogatetz signed with Union Berlin until the end of the season. Having made only 6 appearances during the 2016–17 season, his contract was not extended.

LASK Linz
In May 2017, Pogatetz announced his decision to return to his native Austria and to join LASK Linz.

Juniors OÖ
On 3 December 2019 it was confirmed, that Pogatetz would play for FC Juniors OÖ from 2020, where he also would work as an individual coach.

International career
Pogatetz made his international debut for Austria on 18 May 2002 in a 6–2 defeat by Germany. He came on in the 83rd minute as a substitute for Ernst Dospel. His first international goal came on 6 September 2003 in a Euro 2004 qualifying game in the Feyenoord Stadium, Rotterdam. With score at 1–0 to Netherlands, Pogatetz equalised only for the game to finish 3–1 to the Netherlands. On 12 October 2005, he was dismissed in an international game against Northern Ireland. In the 73rd minute in a 2–0 win in the Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna. Pogatetz retaliated to a "reckless challenge" by Northern Ireland's Damien Johnson. Both were dismissed. In September 2006, Pogatetz was banned from playing for his country after he criticised the coach Josef Hickersberger and captain Andreas Ivanschitz after Austria drew with Costa Rica and lost to Venezuela in an international tournament played earlier in the month. In 2008, he was a member of the Austria team at Euro 2008 which Austria co-hosted with Switzerland. He played all three games, against Croatia, Germany and Poland, as Austria failed to make the knock-out stages of the competition.

In March 2009, Pogatetz was named captain of Austria by coach Dietmar Constantini. However, a series of injuries kept Pogatetz out of Austria's team for much of 2009 and 2010, with Christian Fuchs replacing him as captain. His last cap came in 2014.
