Sukisho

Sukisho, released in Japan as Suki na Mono wa Suki Dakara Shōganai!! (好きなものは好きだからしょうがない!!), is a Japanese visual novel developed by UNiSONSHIFT and released on September 10, 1999. It has since been adapted into a light novel series and an anime television series animated by Zexcs and aired from January to March 2005. The best known of the versions is the visual novel, which features mild yaoi, and, in the original Windows release, hardcore yaoi. The story is owned by SOFTPAL and Platinum Label, and the illustrations to the novels and games is by Tsutae Yuzu.

Plot
High-school student Sora Hashiba was hospitalized after falling from the fourth floor of his school building. On his first night back in the dormitory, he wakes to find a strange boy addressing him by the name of "Yoru". The stranger identifies himself as "Ran" and says he's Sora's new roommate. The next day, Sora's childhood friend and dorm manager, Matsuri Honjou, informs Sora that the other boy, whom Matsuri identifies as Sunao Fujimori or "Nao-kun", is actually another childhood friend of Sora. Sora doesn't remember meeting Sunao before. In fact, Sora can't remember much of anything regarding his past, and the series follows his quest to regain his memory.

Sora soon learns why Sunao identified himself as "Ran" that first night: he and Sora have alternate personalities. Sora's is Yoru, a powerful protector and the lover of the more dependent, feminized Ran. The existence of these alternate personalities, and the relationship between them, has some mysterious connection with Sora's fall from the window and his forgotten past. The alternate personalities' passionate relationship is a far cry from the hostility and distrust between Sora and Sunao. Because Yoru and Ran possess them arbitrarily, Sora and Sunao frequently find themselves in embarrassing situations when they regain control of their minds.

Other comical situations arise from Matsuri's efforts to draw Sora and Sunao into his moneymaking schemes, known as the group "The School Do-It-Alls" and from such minor characters as a bishōnen ghost and three younger boys who resemble the trio. No parents are ever mentioned, and the only authority figures are school nurse Kai Nanami and math teacher Shin'ichirou Minato, but it is known that Sora and Sunao are both orphans. Both have some connection with Sora and Sunao's dark past, which also involves one of the older students at the school, Kai Nagase, and a mysterious doctor named Aizawa.

Games
Currently, there are four games and one spin-off in the Sukisho series. The games were originally point-and-click visual novels released for Windows, containing sexual content, though certain body parts are censored (as is all pornographic material in Japan).

Three of the games have been released on the Sony PlayStation 2. The PS2 versions have been heavily edited and many new CG scenes have been added. In addition, they feature the voice acting from the Drama CD cast, which were absent in the Windows release. These games do not yet have an official English translation.

First Limit
The first game in the series. Sora Hashiba was put into the hospital for quite some time after falling from one of the school buildings. He didn't receive any major injuries, but he has lost some of his memories in the process. However, he continually sees a vision of him being carried through several dark corridors and the voice of someone calling out to him. After being released from the hospital, Sora heads back to the dorms to find that a new boy by the name of Sunao Fujimori, who will now be his roommate. He is told that Sunao is his childhood friend, but he cannot recall spending his childhood with Sunao. As he spends time with Sunao, he notices some strange things about him, including his transformation into his alternate personality Ran. On top of that, the spirit of a hospitalized schoolmate possesses Sunao and confesses his love for him. Depending on the player's decisions, Sora can either end up with Sunao, Hiromu, Ran, or Minato.

Target Nights
After spending some time in Shin-ichirou and Nanami's place, Sora and Sunao come across a mysterious cosplaying bandit known only by the number 416. He claims that he has come to take away something precious from Sora. Meanwhile, Sora and Sunao meet Chris, who works at the nearby church. While he seems harmless, he begins to spend more time with Sora. To top it all off, Sora begins to realize that there are times when he and Sunao are mysteriously in bed together. He already knows about Sunao's connection with his alternate personality Ran, but could that mean he has his own alternate personality as well? Depending on the choices of the player, Sora will either end up with Sunao, Chris, Ran, Matsuri, or Minato. Also, obtaining all the CGs rewards the player with a special ending involving bandits 416, 773, and most recently 848.

Rain
Possibly the turning point in the series. Sora and Sunao continue their life in school. All seems normal until Sora notices a child that looks very similar to himself. Also, some of his schoolmates are beginning to act a little strange. Even Sora begins to notice that something odd about his connection to Sunao and the relationship between their alternate personalities Yoru and Ran. Depending on the choices of the player, Sora may end up with Sunao, Matsuri, Soushi, or Minato. Collecting all the CGs allows the player to access secret endings that involve Sora, Sunao, Matsuri, Shin-ichirou, and Nanami banding together as cosplaying bandits 848, 370, 332, 416, and 773.

Sukisho cast's status prior to White Flower:

 * Sora: Working as a teacher in the nearby school (which is no longer an all-boys school).
 * Sunao: Has been missing since Rain. Said to be working for Aizawa.
 * Matsuri: Working in an animal shelter (needs to be confirmed).
 * Shin-ichirou: Has been missing since Rain.
 * Nanami: Still the school nurse
 * Sei and Kitamura: Students in Sora's class
 * Gaku: Still working with Nagase in the chemistry labs, but no longer as a student
 * Nagase: Still chemistry lab manager
 * Hiromu: Working as a model with Kirito Nakahara
 * Chris: Still working at the nearby church
 * Soushi: Still a lawyer.
 * Professor Aizawa: Has been missing since Rain. Said to have taken Sunao and Shin-ichirou with him.

White Flower
The final game in the series. Taking place a couple of years after Rain, many changes have been made to the school. Not only is it no longer an all-boys school, but several of the former students are also now working as teachers while others move onto other jobs. Sora, as one of the teachers, has been living a fairly normal life as he takes Minato's place as teacher. However, he realizes that it won't stay normal for long when he sees that Sunao, who he has not seen since the events in Rain, reappears in one of the halls. This game finally wraps up the story between Sora and Sunao and ends their conflict with Professor Aizawa. Depending on the player's choices, Sora can either end up with Sunao, Nanami, Hiromu, Matsuri, Soushi, or Minato. There are two hidden endings in this game. The Yoru/Ran ending is received when achieving the true ending, while the Kaito ending is obtained when all the CGs are collected.

Mou Matte
A spin-off of the Sukisho games. Takes place sometime in between Rain and White Flower. The player now controls Gaku Ichikawa, one of Sora's friends who worked in the Chemistry Lab. Gaku must now choose whether to continue his relationship with Kai Nagase or start a new one with Ren Shiina. Depending on the player's choice, Gaku may end up with Shiina, Nagase, or Kitamura. Most of the main cast from the previous Sukisho games are visibly absent, including Sora and Sunao. Of the original cast, only Gaku, Nagase, Shiina, Kitamura, Nanami, Nakahara, and Hano make appearances.

California State Route 36

State Route 36 (SR 36) is an east–west state highway in the U.S. state of California that is routed from U.S. Route 101 in Humboldt County to U.S. Route 395 just east of Susanville in Lassen County. The highway passes through Red Bluff, the county seat of Tehama County, on the northern edge of the Sacramento Valley. The portion of SR 36 travelling past Lassen Volcanic National Park and Lake Almanor is part of the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway, a National Scenic Byway. Also, Route 36 between Alton and Susanville is a designated Blue Star Memorial Highway.

Route description

SR 36 begins in Alton at an interchange with U.S. Route 101. It continues east through the communities of Hydesville and Carlotta before paralleling the Van Duzen River all the way to the town of Bridgeville. It passes near Mt. McClellan as it follows a curving path through the communities of Dinsmore and Cobbs, then enters Trinity National Forest.

Once in Trinity County, the highway veers away from the Van Duzen River, and crosses the Mad River before passing through the communities of Mad River and Forest Glen. The route briefly bends north to intersect with the southern terminus of SR 3 before turning east again and entering first Shasta County, where SR 36 passes through Wildwood and Platina, where it intersects CR A16 and leaves the forest, and enters Tehama County. SR 36 passes through Rosewood and later intersects CR A5 before entering the city of Red Bluff as Beegum Road. SR 36 continues south as Main Street into downtown Red Bluff before making a turn east as Oak Street, crossing the Sacramento River and coming to an interchange with I-5 before turning into Antelope Boulevard and passing the Tehama County Fairgrounds as it leaves the city limits.

SR 36 intersects the northern terminus of SR 99 and turns northeast at the intersection. Several miles later, SR 36 intersects CR A6 at the community of Dales before continuing east and passing through Paynes Creek. Eventually, SR 36 intersects SR 172 at the town of Mineral in the Lassen National Forest before running concurrently with SR 89. SR 89 and SR 36 intersect with the eastern terminus of SR 32 before crossing into Plumas County. Once the highway reaches the western shore of Lake Almanor, SR 89 continues southeast, while SR 36 passes through the community of Chester along the northern shore of Lake Almanor.

The route continues into Lassen County, where it intersects SR 147 and passes in between Lassen and Plumas National Forests. SR 36 intersects SR 44 before entering the city of Susanville as Hillcrest Road. The highway continues north briefly as Pine Street before becoming Main Street and continuing east through downtown Susanville and intersecting SR 139 and CR A27 before leaving the city limits. SR 36 ends at an intersection with U.S. Route 395 just southwest of Johnstonville.

SR 36 is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System, and east of SR 44 is part of the National Highway System, a network of highways that are considered essential to the country's economy, defense, and mobility by the Federal Highway Administration. SR 36 is eligible for the State Scenic Highway System, but it is not officially designated as a scenic highway by the California Department of Transportation. Both the SR 36/SR 86 concurrency, and the segment of SR 36 between SR 86 near Chester and SR 44 near Susanville, are part of the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway, a National Scenic Byway.

In popular culture
On the TV show Lost, during a flashback scene in the episode "Further Instructions," John Locke picks up a hitchhiker who happens to be an undercover police officer on State Route 36.

In author Robyn Carr's romantic novel series Virgin River, the fictional town of Virgin River is located off State Route 36 in the mountains of Humboldt County in Northern California.

In the New Zealand TV series 800 Words, a California 36 highway sign hangs on the wall of Big Mac's fight club (alongside one for Interstate 20).

Dancer, Texas Pop. 81

'Dancer, Texas Pop. 81' is a 1998 comedy-drama film starring Breckin Meyer, Peter Facinelli, Eddie Mills, and Ethan Embry. The film is set in the small, fictional Texas town of Dancer.

Plot
In the small West Texas hamlet of Dancer, Keller, Terrell, John, and Squirrel are four friends who have just graduated high school and are weighing the decision to leave for Los Angeles. The young men made a pact to leave long ago, but their families and friends won't let them go without a fight. The well-off Terrell wants to escape the controlling influence of his mother, who insists he stay in town to work in the family oil business. John's family wants him to stay on the ranch and study agriculture at a nearby university. The awkward Squirrel lives in a decrepit trailer with his drunken, occasionally absentee father, whose survival depends on Squirrel. Unlike his friends, Keller has no major battle to fight over leaving; he lives with his widowed grandfather, who encourages Keller to leave for greener pastures. The four young men struggle try to reconcile their family ties, obligations, and familiarity with home with their dreams of big city life.

Production
The movie was filmed in Fort Davis, Texas. It was shot in 25 days.

Reception
''Dancer, Texas Pop. 81'' holds an 80% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 15 reviews.

Hollis Chacona of The Austin Chronicle gave a positive review, praising the cast, writing, and cinematography. Chacona wrote, "There are so many captivating characters, so many funny moments, and so much sweet affection in this movie, its ending comes as a sorrowful leave-taking. You're tempted to wave goodbye to it (if you have a hankie to wave, so much the better) and linger in your seat long after the lights have come up." The film reviewer Joe M. O'Connell, writing for the San Antonio Express-News, called the film "the finest representation of small-town Texas since The Last Picture Show". Spirituality & Practice called it "a spiffy valentine to small-town America that evidences a wholesome attitude toward community", adding "This laid-back drama ambles around its peripheral themes of coming-of-age and friendship." Emanuel Levy of Variety also gave a positive review, writing: "Perhaps not since the eccentric early comedies of Jonathan Demme (Citizens Band, aka Handle With Care, and Melvin and Howard) has there been an American comedy that captures the unique texture of small-town life without condescending to its characters. A product of such a milieu, director McCanlies understands that a nonjudgmental approach is key to such a story's success; in that spirit, he highlights, rather than conceals, the idiosyncratic personalities, dialect and humor of his dozen or so characters."

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Totalitarian dictators

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was SPEEDY DELETE. The preamble here is identical to the preamble in the category, and there is almost no other content. G4 demands only substantial identicality, not outright identicality. -Splash talk 01:25, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Totalitarian dictators
Idiosyncratic POV reproduction of the contents in the deleted Category:Totalitarian dictators The contents were a problem in the category namespace, and they are a problem too in the main namespace. 172 | Talk 23:50, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Evidently 172 does not like the term totalitarian dictator.
 * FYI Simon P nominated the category for deletion. In addition to myself, CalJW, Jiang, Haham hanuka, Wikiwizzy, Shanes, Tony Sidaway, Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters, mikkalai, SqueakBox, Mirv, CdC, Nat Krause, Jdforrester, Ziggurat, Modster, RustyCale, Jobe6, Alai, Aldux, siafu, Sean Curtin, Zscout370, fvw, John Kenney, FayssalF, and Str1977 supported deletion. Quit trying to make me the issue. I'm irrelevant as to whether or not the article totalitarian dictators gets deleted. 172 | Talk 10:42, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * he also does not like following the rules. The vote to delete Category:Totalitarian dictators had been closed without a consensus, so that category should still be around.  172 removed the notice of closing and then proceeded to solicit votes to support his position, after supporters of the category thought the voting was over.  Consult with the admins on that deletion for the details of his behavior.  This is an article, far more notable than many articles, and not only is it different than a category, there is different text than that which was voted down in the category.  I had prepared this text for the category page, after there was no consensus for deletion of the page, and the voting had been closed, in order to improve the category so that it would answer 172s objections and do better should there be another attempt to delete the category.   172 of course, will deny that it addresses his objections, but that doesn't matter, many others will see that it takes the stings out of his assertions that this cannot be implimented in a NPOV manner.  Instead of pressing for arbcom review of 172s behavior, and a restoration of the catagory due to the voting irregularies he fostered.  I was just going to wait a month and create it again.  In the mean time this is as legitimate as any article.  Unfortunately, a lot of work by several editors was destroyed during the vote for catagory deletion process by 172s behavior, since he was busy deleting the category from all articles while the vote was still going on and had to be admonished.  As far as I know there is no easy central place to recover those totalilitarian dictator candidates.  In summary:

 * 1) the original category should still be around and was only defeated due to irregularities by 172 after the voting had been closed without a consensus
 * The criteria for deciding whether to close a debate on CfD is not set in stone. One editor did not see a consensus, and moved to close. I asked for more time, and reopened the debate, given that the trend was moving toward the delete side once a more clear explanation of why the category was inherently POV was made in the middle of the voting period. With more time, a consensus was established for deletion; and then an administrator eventually deleted the article without my involvement. All the attacks on me are just meant to distract everyone from the fact that there is a consensus against creating an article along the lines of "totalitarian dictators."172 | Talk 11:14, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) so that event is irrelevant to making this a candidate for speedy deletion, this article is notable in its own right
 * 2) this article is different than a category
 * 3) the text in this article is different than that in the category, at least at the time of the voting and irregularities, so its merits are different, and its relation to the previous irregular events has been broken
 * 4) the changes in the text are intended to address 172s objections, not his satisfaction, but perhaps to the satisfaction of others
 * My objections aren't so special. What about the objections of the dozens of other people who came out in favor of deleting the category? 172 | Talk 11:14, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) 172 should be banned from editing the article, since he cannot edit it good faith, he has already concluded that it cannot be made workable, so any edits are likely to be as disruptive as his other behavior has been
 * Pot kettle. 172 | Talk 11:14, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) this is the seventh point, if there are any fewer than 7, beware, 172 may have deleted any he didn't like.  Admins should check the history every time he edits.  If they had known this before, the category would still be around.
 * You are being really disingenuous. You have no evidence that I deleted any votes. That's because I did not delete any votes. Yet I don't expect you to apologize when you eventually find out that I did not tamper with the CfD vote in question, nor any vote ever for that matter. 172 | Talk 11:14, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I never said you deleted votes, but reopening a vote that people had seen closed is worse than deleting votes. So then you could run a campaign without opposition, like the one party systems.  You never really opened the vote, that wasn't your right, you only had the power to disguise the fact that it had been closed.  You then  contacted a half dozen or more likely voters for your position, they voted the way you intended.  And then the finally the vote had been open long enough for you, just three more days with no notice to those who in good faith thought the issue was over.   You should shouldn't be trusted with editing powers, you have no sense of perspective.  You couldn't wait another month to try again or let the editors of the category prove themselves to you. --Silverback 11:27, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * --Silverback 09:58, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You certainly implied it: beware, 172 may have deleted any he didn't like. Admins should check the history every time he edits.  If they had known this before, the category would still be around. Shame on you for making baseless accusations without any evidence. Further, I did nothing improper in reopening the debate. Reopening the debate for more time was not a violation of the spirit of the process. You are correct in pointing out that more people came out in favor of deleting the category after reopening. However, in contrast to voting in a single party state, leaving more time for discussion also gave the authors of the category more time to state their case and persuade people to see things in a different light. The fact that this did not happen is a reflection of the consensus to delete a category that the vast majority of editors consider unworkable and inherently POV. 172 | Talk 11:44, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * You misunderstand the spirit of the process. The reason a supermajority consensus is required for deletion is not to frustrate the majority, it is to protect the minority.  You destroyed that spirit by immoral, irregular and abusive use of powers and to get your own selfish way, right away.  Yes, you only used powers that anyone of us could've used.  You seem to think that having a power gives you the right to use it.  Even wiki editing powers are a trust to be used and not abused.  The voting was closed, anyone of us could have reopened it according to your reasoning.  You should think about how universalizable that type of behavior is.--Silverback 11:58, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Repeating the same nonsense over and over again isn't going to make it correct. First, please review Be bold. No one has any reason to get upset because I reopened a discussion for more feedback; after all, more intelligent feedback is always better than less feedback. Second, please review Wikipedia is not a democracy. According to the administrator who deleted the article, a consensus was established in favor of deletion. I did not make that determination. By this stage, protecting the minority is not an issue. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia; so it cannot disregard encyclopedic standards in order to appease a small minority of users. 172 | Talk 12:22, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I implied that you might do it. After doing what you did, why not suspect that you could also delete votes?  Just exactly how do you draw your lines of ethical behavior?  You had wonderful ends in your view, and those justified the deceptive means that you used.  --Silverback 12:04, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I did not deceive anyone. There was no need to check the page history to find out that I was the one who reopened the debate. I said so on multiple pages, and informed the administrator who had earlier closed the debate right away on his user talk page. By the way, I implied that you might do it is as weasely of a response as they come. With no evidence that I have ever deleted other people's comments, you had no business making the insinuation. That insinuation would be tantamount to (say) me saying that you might have wife whom you beat on the basis of not seeing any evidence falsifying the claim. 172 | Talk 12:22, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Silverback's attempt to make me out to be the bogyman is a diversion from the fact that there was a consensus to delete the category. Yes, I reopened the debate. This did nothing more than allow more time for more feedback and more perspective in order for a consensus to be reached. And a consensus was reached. SimonP nominated the category for deletion. Deletion was supported by CalJW, Jiang, Haham hanuka, Wikiwizzy, Shanes, Tony Sidaway, Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters, mikkalai, SqueakBox, Mirv, CdC, Nat Krause, Jdforrester, Ziggurat, Modster, RustyCale, Jobe6, Alai, Aldux, siafu, Sean Curtin, Zscout370, fvw, John Kenney, FayssalF, Str1977, and me. For some reason or another, Silverback is attempting to vilify me and focus on my reasons for deleting the article. But this is nothing but a red herring to divert attention from the compelling reasons to delete the category brought up by dozens of other editors when a consensus was established. 172 | Talk 10:27, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I believe that if this content has previously been deleted, this could be speedied. --CastAStone 23:58, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Previously deleted article is speedy candidate. Pavel Vozenilek 00:17, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I wasn't sure if it was a speedy candidate. It's not 100% from the content in the category. The "list of totalitarian dictators" in the article is new. Even with the modfifications, is it still a speedy candidate? 172 | Talk 00:20, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete --Rogerd 03:43, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and added the article to Speedy deletions. Thanks for the feedback. 172 | Talk 07:16, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Talk:Cosmic year (Chinese astrology)

Untitled
Boriska-boy from Mars 03/12/2004 19:38

Sometimes, some children are born with quite fascinating talents, unusual abilities.

I was told the story of an unusual boy named Boriska from members of an expedition to the anomaly zone located in the north of the Volgograd region, most commonly referred to as "Medvedetskaya gryada".

"Can you imagine, while everyone was sitting around the campfire at night, some little boy (about 7 years of age) suddenly asked everyone"s attention. Turned out, he wanted to tell them all about life on Mars, about its inhabitants and their flights to earth," shares one of the witnesses. Silence followed. It was incredible! The little boy with gigantic lively eyes was about to tell a magnificent story about the Martian civilization, about megalithic cities, their spaceships and flights to various planets, about a wonderful country Lemuria, life of which he knew in details since he happened to descend there from Mars, had friends there.

Logs were cracking, night"s fog enveloped the area and the immense dark sky with myriads of brightly lit stars seemed to conceal some sort of a mystery. His story lasted for about an hour and a half. One guy was smart enough to tape the entire narration.

Many were stunned by the two distinctive factors. First of all, the boy possessed exceptionally profound knowledge. His intellect was obviously far from that of a typical 7-year-old. Not every professor is capable of narrating the entire history of Lemuria and Lemurians and its inhabitants in such details. You will be unable to find any mentioning of this country in school textbooks. Modern science has not yet proved existence of other civilizations.

Second of all, we were all amazed by the actual speech of this young boy. It was far from the kind kids his age usually use. His knowledge of specific terminology, details and facts from Mars" and Earth"s past fascinated everyone.

"Why did he start the conversation in the first place," said my interlocutor. "Perhaps, he was simply touched by the overall atmosphere of our camp with many knowledgeable and open-minded people," continued he.

"Could he make this all up?"

"Doubtful", objected my friend". "To me this looks more like the boy was sharing his personal memories from past births. It is virtually impossible to make up such stories; one really had to know them."

Today, after meeting with Boris" parents and getting to know the boy better, I begin to carefully sort out all the information obtained around that campfire. He was born in Volzhskii town in a suburban hospital, even though officially, based on the paperwork, his birthplace is the town of Zhirnovsk of Volgograd region. His birthday is January 11th, 1996. (Perhaps it will be helpful for astrologers).

His parents seem to be wonderful people. Nadezhda, Boriska"s mother, is a dermatologist in a public clinic. She graduated from Volgograd medical institute not so long ago in 1991. The boy"s father is a retired officer. Both of them would be happy if someone could shed the light onto the mystery behind their child. In the meantime, they simply observe him and watch him grow.

-After Boriska was born, I noticed he was able to hold his head in 15 days, recalls Nadezhda. His first word "baba" he uttered when he was 4 months old and very soon afterward started talking. At age 7, he constructed his first sentence, "I want a nail." He said this particular phrase after noticing a nail stuck in the wall. Most notably, his intellectual abilities surpassed his physical ones.

-How did those abilities manifest themselves?

-When Boris was just one year old, I started giving him letters (based on the Nikitin"s system) and guess what, at 1,5 he was able to read large newspaper print. It didn"t take long for him to get acquainted with colors and their shades. He began to paint at 2.

Then, soon after he turned 2, we took him to the children day care center. Teachers were all stunned by his talents and his unusual way of thinking. The boy possesses exceptional memory and an unbelievable ability to grasp new information. However, his parents soon noticed that their child had been acquiring information in his own unique way, from some place else.

-No one has ever taught him that, recalls Nadya. But sometimes, he would sit in a lotus position and start all these talks. He would talk about Mars, about planetary systems, distant civilizations.we couldn"t believe our own ears. How can a kid know all this? Cosmos, never-ending stories of other worlds and the immense skies, are like daily mantras for him since he was 2.

It was then that Boriska told us about his previous life on Mars, about the fact that the planet was in fact inhabited, but as a result of the most powerful and destructive catastrophe had lost its atmosphere and that nowadays all its inhabitants have to live in underground cities. Back then, he used to fly to earth quite often for trade and other research purposes. It seems that Boriska piloted his spaceship himself. This was during the times of the Lemurian civilizations. He had a Lemurian friend who had been killed right before his own eyes.

-A major catastrophe took place on earth. A gigantic continent was consumed by stormy waters. Then suddenly, a massive rock fell on a construction.by friend was there., tells Boriska. I could not safe him. We are destined to meet some time in this life.

The boy envisions the entire picture of the fall of Lemuria as though it happened yesterday. He grieves the death of his best friend as though it was his fault.

One day, he noticed a book in his mother"s bag entitled "Where do we come from?" by Ernst Muldashev. One should have seen the kind of happiness and fascination this discovery triggered in the little boy. He"s been flipping through pages for hours, looking at sketches of Lemurians, photos of Tibet. He then started>

talking about high intellect of the Lemurians.

-But Lemuria ceased to exist minimum 800 000 years ago., I uttered in response to his statements. Lemurians were 9 meters tall! Is that so? How can you remember all this?

-I do remember, replied the boy.

Later, he began recalling another book by Muldashev entitled "In Search of the City of Gods." The book is mainly devoted to ancient tombs and pyramids. Boriska firmly stated that people will find knowledge under one of the pyramids (not the pyramid of Heops). It hasn"t been discovered yet. "Life will change once the Sphinx will be opened," said he and added that the great Sphinx has an opening mechanism somewhere behind his ear (but he does not remember where exactly). The boy also talks with great passion and enthusiasm about the Mayan civilization. According to him, we know very little about this great civilization and its people.

Most interestingly, Boriska thinks that nowadays the time has finally come for the "special ones" to be born on earth. Planet"s rebirth is approaching. New knowledge will be in great demand, a different mentality of earthlings.

-How do you know about these gifted kids and why this is happening? Are you aware that they are called "indigo" kids?

-I know that they are being born. However, I haven"t met anyone in my town yet. Perhaps may be this one girl named Yulia Petrova. She is the only one who believes me. Others simply laugh at my stories. Something is going to happen on earth; that is why these kids are of importance. They will be able to help people. The Poles will shift. The first major catastrophe with one of the continents will happen in 2009. Next one will take place in 2013; it will be even more devastating. -Aren"t you scared that your life may also going to end as a result of that catastrophe?

-No. I"m not afraid. I have lived through one catastrophe on Mars already. There still live people like us out there. But after the nuclear war, everything has burnt down. Some of those people managed to survive. They built shelters, new weaponry. There was also a shift of continents there, although the continent was not as large. Martians breathe gas. In case they arrived to our planet, they would have been all standing next to pipes and breathing in fumes. -Do you prefer breathing oxygen?

-Once you are in this body, you have to breathe oxygen. However, Martians dislike this air, earth"s air, because it causes aging. Martians are all relatively young, about 30-35 years old. The amount of such Martian children will increase annually.

-Boris, why do our space stations crash before they reach Mars?

-Mars transmits special signals aimed at destroying them. Those stations contain harmful radiation.

I was amazed by his knowledge of this sort of radiation "Fabos". This is absolutely true. Back in 1988 resident of Volzhsky Yuri Lushnichenko, a man with extrasensory powers attempted to warn Soviet leaders about the inevitable crash of the first Soviet space stations "Fobos 1" and "Fobos-2". He also mentioned this sort of an "unfamiliar" and harmful for the planet radiation. Obviously, no one believed him then.

-What do you know about multiple dimensions? Do you know that one must fly not on straight trajectories, but maneuvering through the multi-dimensional space?

Boriska immediately rose to his feet and started to pour all the facts about UFOs. "We took off and landed on Earth almost momentarily!" The boy takes a chalk and begins drawing an oval object on a blackboard. "It consists of six layers," he says. 25%--outer layer, made of durable metal, 30%--second layer made of something similar to rubber, the third layer comprises 30%--once again metal. The final 4% is composed of a special magnetic layer. "If we are to charge this magnetic layer with energy, those machines will be able to fly anywhere in the Universe."

-Does Boriska have a special mission to fulfill? Is he aware of it?- I pose these questions to his parents and the boy himself.

-He says he can guess,- says his mother. He says he knows something about the future of Earth. He says information will play the most significant role in the future.

-Boris, how do you know all this?

-It is inside of me.

-Boris, tell us why do people get sick?

-Sickness comes from people"s inability to live properly and be happy. You must wait for you cosmic half. One should never get involve and mess up other peoples" destinies. People should not suffer because of their past mistakes, but get in touch with what"s been predestined for them and try to reach those heights and move on to conquer their dreams. (These are the exact words he was using).

You have to be more sympathetic and warmhearted. In case someone strikes you, hug your enemy, apologize yourself and kneel before him. In case someone hates you, love him with all your love and devotion and ask for forgiveness. These are the rules of love and humbleness. Do you know why the Lemurians died? I am also partially at blame. They did not wish to develop spiritually any more. They went astray from the predestined path thus destructing the overall wholeness of the planet. The Magic"s Path leads to dead end. Love is a True Magic!

-How do you know all this???

-I know.Kailis.

-What did you say?

-I said "hello!" This is the language of my planet.

Young Moro Professionals Network

The Young Moro Professionals Network (YMPN) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) composed of young Moro professionals advocating peaceful means to improve the socio-economic well-being of the Bangsamoro people. While a majority of members live in the Philippines, particularly in Metro Manila and Mindanao, there are several members who are based in other countries. YMPN members are largely employed, both in government and private sector jobs.

The YMPN was founded in 2000 during the administration of former Philippine president Joseph "Erap" Estrada. A group of young Moro professionals initially organized themselves as part of the popular protest at EDSA against the alleged corruptions of Erap. As a result of these protests, Erap was ousted from the presidency.

The founding Moros were further motivated by dismay with the Philippine government total war policy against the Moro communities in Mindanao, despite an outstanding peace agreement with the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and ongoing negotiation with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). Many NGOs concerned with the cultivation of lasting peace and harmony in Mindanao perceived the unilateral declaration of war by the government of the Philippines (GRP) as a diversion from investigations and protests against the alleged corruptions and unfitness of president of the GRP. The war displaced hundreds of thousands of Moros and threatened to poison Muslim-Christian relations, like what happened in the early 1970s.

The success of EDSA II in ousting then President Erap motivated the YMPN founders to continue peacefully advocating and working for the socio-economic well-being of the Moro masses. The founders envisioned a network of young Muslim professionals that promote volunteerism; using their own resources, talents, education and training, and working collectively or individually to help other Muslims in unfortunate circumstances. This peaceful means is in stark contrast to the armed liberation struggle by MNLF and MILF against the GRP from the early 1970s to present.

Since its founding, the YMPN has been active in encouraging young Moros to adopt peaceful means to uplift themselves. The YMPN has stressed the practice of Islam as a peaceful and modest way of life. The core members have designed and implemented leadership training program, using an Islamic framework, aimed at the next generation of YMPN members. In most engagements, these core members are the lecturers and readily provide a role model to their audience for their advocacy for peaceful means. The YMPN has established a website at YMPN.org to reach a larger audience of both Muslims and non-Muslims. The YMPN has also been recognized for their contributions by other local and international NGOs, as well as senior statesmen of the GRP, like Senator Ramon Magsaysay.

On May 9, 2003, the YMPN was incorporated as a non-profit organization with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Philippines. It holds office at G-108 Jocfer Building, Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City, Philippines. The YMPN membership continues to grow.

The JLP might have called itself "social democratic" in the 1970s but when you consider that at the time the PNP was socialist the "social democratic" label is simply a way of identifying the party as to the right of its opponents without alienating workers and the poor (and at a time when the political spectrum was further to the left). They were a trade union party but they were on the conservative wing of the union movement and in labour politics the terms used for right and left were "social democratic" and "socialist" rather than "conservative". In any case, the party does not refer to itself as social democratic now and it's policies are universally seen as conservative.Reggie Perrin (talk) 05:06, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Acacia grasbyi

Acacia grasbyi, commonly known as miniritchie, is a shrub or tree in the family Fabaceae that is endemic to parts of arid western and central Australia.

Description
Miniritchie grows is a shrubby tree to a height of 1 to 6 m and a width of 3 to 5 m and has a many branched, rounded or flat topped habit. It typically has several main stems. These are often twisted, and are always covered in distinctive red to brown coloured minni ritchi bark, which peels in small curly flakes. Like most Acacia species, it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. These are rigid, round in cross-section with a diameter of about a millimetre, and up to nine centimetres long. It blooms between May and October and produces yellow coloured flowers that are held in cylindrical clusters about three centimetres long and five millimetres in diameter, on stalks about two centimetres long. The pods are brown, up to eleven centimetres long, with tight constrictions between the seeds.

Taxonomy
The species was first formally described by the botanist Joseph Maiden in 1917 as part of the work ''Notes on Acacia, No. III. — extra-tropical Western Australia (including descriptions of new species) as published in the Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales''. It was reclassified by Leslie Pedley in 2003 as Racosperma grasbyi but returned to genus Acacia in 2006.

Distribution
It is native throughout the arid interior of Western Australia, with isolated populations in South Australia and the Northern Territory. In Western Australia it has a scattered throughout the Mid West, northern Wheatbelt and Gascoyne regions as well as smaller populations in the Pilbara and northern Goldfields regions where it is often situated on rocky rises and hills, stony or clay flats as well as undulating sandplains where it grows in sandy red lateritic soils often as a part of Acacia scrubland communities.

1, 2 or 3 neurons?
There are actually three nurons. The sensory, inter, and motor neurons. the inter neurons are located in the spinal cord, this is where the change from sensory to moter occours. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rob L (talk • contribs)
 * There are 3 neurons, however your explanation is incorrect. The reflex explained on this page is a 2-neuron reflex in regards to the sensory neuron from the muscle spindle, and the alpha motor neuron contracting the quadriceps muscles.  However, what is left out is that an INHIBITORY INTERNEURON is also activated and synapses with the antagonists to the quadriceps muscles, which would be the hamstrings.  This is all a part of the myotatic reflex and should be included!  This is a very poorly written article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.143.65.87 (talk • contribs)

The article as it stands seems to be self-contradictory in that the first section states the use of three neurons while, lower down, it states that it is monosynaptic (though apparently monosynaptic reflexes still require *two* neurons). The German Wikipedia article calls it monosynaptic (and explains the term as meaning the use of only one neuron to affect the motor neuron). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.95.179.131 (talk • contribs).

Monosynaptic reflex means there is one synapse in the arc! Basically two neurons are involved although higher influences may act on the single synapse present. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.7.92.91 (talk • contribs) 09:37, 25 November 2006

Both are correct. I have consulted one of the editors of Grays Anatomy and she confirmed that the structure in question is more normally refered to as the Patellar Tendon, although Ligament is sometimes used. The patellar is an example of a sesamoid bone that develops within the tendon itself. Grays refers to it as the Patellar Tendon (Gray's Anatomy, 39th edition, 2005, page 1472, 1474, Fig 113.25), but often with (patellar ligament) in brackets.JeffBagust (talk) 11:04, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Saltriovenator

Saltriovenator (meaning "Saltrio hunter") is a genus of ceratosaurian dinosaur that lived during the Sinemurian stage of the Early Jurassic in what is now Italy. The type and only species is Saltriovenator zanellai; in the past, the species had been known under the informal name "saltriosaur". Although a full skeleton has not yet been discovered, Saltriovenator is thought to have been a large, bipedal carnivore similar to Ceratosaurus.

Discovery and naming
On 4 August 1996, the first remains of Saltriovenator were discovered by amateur paleontologist Angelo Zanella, searching for ammonites in the Salnova marble quarry in Saltrio, northern Italy. Zanella had already been working for the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Milano and this institution after being informed sent out a team to investigate the find. Cristiano Dal Sasso and the volunteers of the Paleontological Group of Besano, under the direction of Giorgio Teruzzi managed to salvage a number of chalk blocks visibly containing bones. The skeleton had shortly before its discovery been blown to pieces by explosives used in the quarry to break the marble layers. Blocks that had been secured were inserted into a bath of formic acid for 1,800 hours to free the bones. Initially, 119 bone fragments were reported to have been collected in total; this was later increased to 132. However, most cannot be exactly identified.

In 2000, the museum opened a special exhibition of the bones. On this occasion, Dal Sasso provisionally gave the dinosaur, now thought to be a species new to science, the Italian name Saltriosauro. Although this has been occasionally Latinised to "Saltriosaurus", even in the scientific literature, in both the Italian and Latin form it remained an invalid nomen nudum.

In December 2018, Dal Sasso, Simone Maganuco and Andrea Cau named and described the specimen as the type species Saltriovenator zanellai. The generic name combines a reference to Saltrio with Latin, venator, "hunter", a common suffix in the names of theropods. The authors pointed out that a venator is also a type of Roman gladiator. The specific name honours Zanella. Because the article was published in an electronic publication, Life Science Identifiers were necessary to make the name valid. These are 8C9F3B56-F622-4C39-8E8B-C2E890811E74 for the genus and BDD366A7-6A9D-4A32-9841-F7273D8CA00B for the species. Saltriovenator is the third dinosaur named from Italy, the first from the Alps and the second theropod from Italy, after Scipionyx. The holotype, MSNM V3664, was found in a layer of the Saltrio Formation dating from the earliest early Sinemurian, 199 million years old. It consists of a fragmentary skeleton with a lower jaw. About 10% of the skeleton has been discovered, including a tooth, a right splenial, a right prearticular, a neck rib, fragments of the dorsal ribs and scapulae, a well preserved but incomplete furcula, humeri, metacarpal II, phalanx II-1, phalanx III-1, phalanx III-2, manual ungual III, a distal tarsal III, a distal tarsal IV and the proximal second to fifth metatarsals. The holotype individual likely died on the shores of an ancient beach before being washed out to sea. After death, the skeletal remains suffered from prolonged transport, during which many bones were lost and the remaining ones highly fragmented.

Although Saltriovenator was not aquatic, the environment in which the carcass was deposited was likely pelagic, judging by the associated ammonites. The locality is also rich in crinoids, gastropods, bivalves, brachiopods and bryozoans. Deposition occurred on a slope between a shallow carbonate platform and a deeper basin. Various scratches, grooves, and striations indicate that the carcass was subject to scavenging by marine invertebrates. The specimen represents a subadult individual, nearing its maximum size, of which the age has been estimated at twenty-four years.

Description
Because of the fragmentary nature of the remains, it was impossible to directly measure the size of the animal. The describing authors therefore compared the fossils with those of two theropods of a roughly similar volume. Comparing with the skeletal elements of MOR 693, an Allosaurus fragilis specimen, they conservatively concluded that the Saltriovenator holotype individual was at least seven to eight metres long. This would make Saltriovenator the largest known theropod living before the Aalenian stage, 25% longer than Ceratosaurus from the late Jurassic. Comparing with Ceratosaurus itself, resulted in a body length of 730 centimetres, a hip height of 220 centimetres and a skull length of eighty centimetres. The thighbone length would then have been about eighty to eighty-seven centimetres, which indicates a body weight of 1160 to 1524 kilogrammes. Another method consisted in extrapolating from the known length of the forelimb. Applying the usual limb ratio indicated a hindlimb length of 198 centimetres. The thighbone would then have been 822 to 887 millimetres long, indicating a weight of 1269 to 1622 kilogrammes.

Classification
The precise systematic position of Saltriovenator has been traditionally uncertain, but it is known to be a theropod. Dal Sasso originally referred it to the Tetanurae He later considered that it may represent an allosauroid, although in either case it would predate other members of the clades by roughly 20-30 million years. Benson considered it a member of Coelophysoidea in his review of Magnosaurus. The presence of a wishbone may support its placement as a tetanuran, although wishbones have been reported from coelophysoids. The 2018 description paper ran a large phylogenetic analysis, and found it to be a basal ceratosaur, the sister-taxon of Berberosaurus. The phylogenetic analysis is as shown:

Provenance and Paleoenvironment
Saltriovenator was found on an open marine environment, where it was probably washed from the nearest mainland, being scavenged by invertebrates as proven by the presence of Sedilichnus sp. on the bones. This depositional environment, part of the Saltrio Formation is considered as part of a proximal slope or ramp that was probably an open subtidal zone reached by the effects of storm waves and with constant bottom currents. Since the beginning of the Jurassic, from Hettangian to earliest Sinemurian on the western Lombardy Basin there was a notorious continental area that was found to be wider than previously thought, where a warm humid paleoclimate developed. The Dinosaur Fossils found on the Saltrio formation could have been translated from this area, or alternatively, the Arbostora swell (that was located at the north of the Saltrio formation, on Switzerland). This was an emerged structural high close to the Saltrio Formation, that caused a division between two near subsiding basins located at Mt. Nudo (East) and Mt. Generoso (West). It settled over a carbonate platform linked with other wider areas that appear along the west to the southeast, developing a large shallow water gulf to the north, where the strata deposited was controlled by a horst and tectonic gaben. Several outcrops of the so-called "terra rossa" paleosoils were also found, including at Castello Cabiaglio-Orino, a dozen of kilometers West of Saltrio. These outcrops show that the emerged areas that on the Hettangian-Sinemurian, the current location of the modern Maggiore Lake was covered with forests, what was proven by the presence of large plant fragments on the Moltrasio Formation. The plants have been recovered between the locations of Cellina and Arolo (eastern side of Lake Maggiore), from rocks that have been found to be coeval in age to the Saltrio Formation. The Flora includes genera such as Bennettitales (Ptilophyllum), terrestrial Araucariaceae (Pagiophyllum), and Cheirolepidiaceae (Brachyphyllum), that developed on inland areas with dry-warm conditions. Saltriovenator probably come from this nearby landmass, as other emerged zones, such as the Trento Platform where it's far of the location of discovery. If so, this theropod was probably the largest predator on the region.

Lehigh Line (Conrail)

The Conrail Lehigh Line is a railroad line in New Jersey that is part of Conrail Shared Assets Operations under the North Jersey Shared Assets Area division. The line runs from CP Port Reading Junction in Manville to Oak Island Yard in Newark. The line is double-track and signaled through its entire length. The line began operations in 1999 using former existing tracks from Manville to Newark that was once part of the original Lehigh Line which is still in existence and is owned and operated by Norfolk Southern Railway.

The original Lehigh Line was built by the Lehigh Valley Railroad and opened in 1855 in the Lehigh Valley. The line later expanded all the way to Buffalo, New York and then to Jersey City which was later retracted to Newark. The original Lehigh Line and the rest of the Lehigh Valley Railroad was merged into Conrail in 1976 and was downsized in the New York and Pennsylvania. The original Lehigh Line was inherited by Norfolk Southern Railway in 1999 but it did not include the Manville to Newark tracks.

History
The line began operations in 1999 when the existing tracks from Manville to Newark automatically broke away from the original Lehigh Line when Norfolk Southern Railway acquired the original Lehigh Line in the Conrail split between NS and CSX Transportation.

The original Lehigh Line (which is still in existence) was built by the Lehigh Valley Railroad and opened in 1855 in the Lehigh Valley. The original Lehigh Line was the Lehigh Valley's first line and served as the body of the railroad until it built or acquired other rail lines. The original Lehigh Line later expanded in the northwest to Buffalo, New York and expanded east to Perth Amboy, New Jersey. The line's route switched to Newark, New Jersey when new tracks were constructed to the Northeast passed South Plainfield, New Jersey; the new tracks between South Plainfield and Newark became the new mainline and the old part of the line which extends from South Plainfield to Perth Amboy became a branchline. The line's new tracks to the Northeast was extended again to Jersey City, New Jersey but was later pushed back to Newark again.

The original Lehigh Line and the rest of the Lehigh Valley Railroad was absorbed into Conrail in 1976 and was downsized over the years in New York and Pennsylvania. The original Lehigh Line lost its existing tracks from Manville to Newark when Norfolk Southern Railway acquired it in the Conrail split with CSX Transportation in order for both Norfolk Southern and its competitor CSX to have equal competition in the Northeast. The Manville to Newark tracks became a new rail line called the Conrail Lehigh Line.

Norfolk Southern along with its competitor CSX own the new rail line under a joint venture called Conrail Shared Assets Operations; the joint venture is the same company that operated the former Conrail railroad, just reorganized as a terminal railroad under Norfolk Southern and CSX ownership. For historical purposes, the Manville to Newark tracks is considered a new rail line and the Norfolk Southern part is considered the original line.

Canadian Pacific Railway has trackage rights on both the original Lehigh Line and the Conrail Lehigh Line.

Ownership and operations
The Conrail Lehigh Line is owned and operated by Conrail Shared Assets Operations under the North Jersey Shared Assets Area division. Conrail Shared Assets Operations is owned by Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail or Conrail Inc.) which in turn is owned as a joint venture between Norfolk Southern Railway (a Norfolk Southern Corporation company) and CSX Transportation (a CSX Corporation company). Norfolk Southern Railway and CSX Transportation are the only Class 1 railroads that operate on the East Coast.

The line runs from CP Port Reading Junction in Manville, New Jersey to Oak Island Yard in Newark, New Jersey along the former Manville to Newark route and tracks that was once part of the original Lehigh Line which is still in existence; the original Lehigh Line is owned by Norfolk Southern Railway. For historical purposes, the Manville to Newark tracks is considered a new rail line and not the original line and the Norfolk Southern part is considered the original line and not a new rail line. At CP Port Reading Junction in Manville, the Conrail Lehigh Line connects the original Lehigh Line by having the Lehigh Valley Railroad-built tracks continues straight pass Manville as the original Lehigh Line. Also at Manville, the Conrail Lehigh Line connects to the CSX Transportation Trenton Subdivision which was once part of the Reading Railroad; the Trenton Subdivision splits southward heading all the way to Philadelphia.

The line shares track with New Jersey Transit's Raritan Valley Line between Newark and Aldene Junction, and then parallels it closely between Bridgewater, New Jersey and Bound Brook, New Jersey. The Raritan Valley Line is a former Central Railroad of New Jersey line. It makes a roughly parallel, but sometimes diverging route to the Raritan Valley Line, running to the south of that line.

Quinto Sol

Quinto Sol was the first fully independent publishing house to surface from the Chicano movement in the Sixties. Editorial Quinto Sol (Quinto Sol Publications) was founded in 1967 at UC Berkeley by Octavio I. Romano, a professor of Behavioral Science and Public Health, in collaboration with Nick C. Vaca and Andres Ybarra. The name "Quinto Sol" is Spanish for "Fifth Sun" and it refers to the Aztec myth of creation and destruction. Since the beginning of the Chicano movement in the 1960s, this concept has become a pathway to cultural expression. The Fifth Sun has constantly been integrated into the music, art and literature of the Chicano idea.

The goals of the publication house included "cultural unity and self-determination" and the publishing house, its authors, and the works they produced were centrally important in the Chicano Movement in the 1970s. Aiming to create an academic and literary outlet for Chicano voices, it originated from the movement's need of an unbiased artistic venue for Mexican American authors. Literary nationalism was, after all, the driving cultural force behind "El Movimiento" (Chicano Movement) at the end of the 1960s

Publishing
Beginning in 1967, Quinto Sol published the interdisciplinary El Grito: A Journal of Contemporary Mexican-American Thought. This was the first national academic and literary journal ever published in the United States. The journal, whose name is Spanish for "the Shout," was "intended to raise awareness at what we could call a pan-Chicano/a nationalistic level". Considered an intellectual and independent critical space, it became a place where Chicano(a) scholars, authors and artists could work to debunk the "culture of poverty" and other negative stereotypes attributed to Mexican Americans by scientists, other literature works and the media. As the editorial developed, the journal was used to expand Chicano expression and self-definition.

The authors published in El Grito drew attention to the biases in academic realms regarding Mexican-Americans and attempted to rectify these blind spots. Quinto Sol released Voices: Readings from El Grito: A Journal of Contemporary Mexican-American Thought, which was a compilation of the most important works published in the journal. A second expanded edition of Voices was published two years later. The texts became an important resource for those wanting to learn about the newly instituted discipline of Chicano Studies. El Grito also published advertisements geared towards high schools and other university departments to stress the importance of Quinto Sol materials in the classroom. Finally, in 1969, Quinto Sol released the first edition of El espejo--The Mirror, the first anthology of Mexican-American literature.

The works published by Quinto Sol in the 1970s were often written in Spanish or engaged in code switching between English and Spanish. The Chicano Movement in general, and the works, drew heavily from Anglo-American culture, the experiences of Mexican-Americans, and Aztec mythology. The Quinto Sol publishing house played an essential role in establishing Chicano literature as a distinctive body of work and giving Chicano writers a sense of belonging in a literary community. Quinto Sol contributed to the careers of a number of writers whose work is now recognized as canonical Chicano literature.

Premio Quinto Sol
The Premio Quinto Sol was created in 1970, publishing the work of Chicano and Chicana authors from 1971 to 1975. This was the first literary prize promoted nationally. Awarded to the best fictional work by Mexican American authors as a means of recognizing and promoting Chicano writers. The award involved a cash prize of $1000 and publication of the winning manuscript. The first Premio Quinto Sol was awarded to Tomás Rivera, an associate professor of Spanish at Sam Houston University in Huntsville, Texas, in 1971 for ...y no se lo tragó la tierra (And the Earth Did Not Devour Him). It was published with Quinto Sol as a bilingual edition, the Spanish and English versions printed side to side in the first publications. After being awarded the prize, Rivera worked closely with the Quinto Sol editors throughout the early 1970s. Julio Ramos and Gustavo Buenrostro edited the first Latin American edition of Tomás Rivera's novel ...y no se lo tragó la tierra (1971), which inaugurated a collection of Mexican Literature in Argentina.

In 1972 Rudolfo Anaya won the second Premio Quinto Sol for the novel Bless Me, Ultima. Rolando Hinojosa won the third award for Estampas del Valle y Otras Obras (Sketches of the Valley and Other Works) in 1973. The Premio Quinto Sol literary prize was first awarded to a woman, Estela Portillo Trambley in 1975 for her collection of short stories, Rain of Scorpions.

Lasting effects
The texts distributed by the editorial from 1967 to 1974 have been determined as the most influential works of Chicano authors. The literary awards series, according to the editor's note introducing Bless Me, Ultima, provided a "publishing outlet through which the Chicano artist can express himself through exclusively Chicano means." The authors whose work it published are now an essential part of the Chicano literary and cultural movement.

Through the journal El Grito, the Premio Quinto Sol literary award, and its various other publications, Quinto Sol played a pivotal role in the process of institutionalizing Chicano culture as a legitimate field of inquiry and contributing to the formation of a Chicano(a) literary canon. It served as a self-sustained creative and intellectual space for the participants of "El Movimiento." Simply put, it was a necessary institution for the development of Mexican American nationalism. With it, Chicano authors and their followers were able to forge an autonomous identity, finally making it possible to create a self-defined Chicano community.

After a seven-year run, and the fourth Premio Quinto Sol, the publishing house divided into two separate publishers: Editorial Justa and Tonatiuh International,. The latter later became Tonatiuh-Quinto Sol (TQS) Publications.

Quinto Sol Remembered
In 2012, a commemorative organization was founded at the University of California, Berkeley by Gustavo Buenrostro, Javier Huerta, Wanda Alarcón, Joseph Rios and Patricia Velazquez to pay tribute to the literary achievements of Quinto Sol called "Quinto Sol Remembered." On April 6 and 7, 2012 a symposium featuring several Chicano(a) writers and academics took place to commemorate the Chicano publishing house. Important Chicano voices who participated include Alex Saragoza, Alurista, Edel Romay, Gustavo Segade, Hector Calderón, Juan Carrillo, Lorna Dee Cervantes, Lucha Corpi, Malaquías Montoya, Nick Vaca, Rosaura Sánchez, Rudy Anaya (by video), and Sergio Elizondo.

Longbenton High School

Longbenton High School is a smaller than average Secondary School located in Benton, North Tyneside, England. Operating under the two-tier system in North Tyneside, the school takes students from age 11-18. The school building also includes a very small Sixth Form, joint with George Stephenson High School. The joint sixth form used to be in partnership with Seaton Burn College and branded as the Northwest Cluster. However now it is simply known as 'NE12 Sixth Form', as both campuses fall under the NE12 Postcode. This change was not advertised at all by the school, both internally or externally.

History
The school was originally built in, and opened officially for the new year in September 1953. It was originally named after Thomas Addison and the girls and boys were kept separate. What was the East Block was the girls' side, and what was West Block was the boys' side. The old HMT block was the girls' canteen. At some point, likely in the 1960s, the school was turned into a mixed college and became known as Longbenton School.

The school became known as Longbenton Community College some time ago, when the management reached out into the community and started adult teaching classes, often outside of school hours.

In the winter of 2014, construction company Galliford Try began work on the new £14m school, in the middle of the existing site. This involved the demolition of the City Learning Centre, Sports Hall, Library and Sixth Form Building. The new building was funded by the Education Funding Agency, and was constructed very similarly to other new builds in the area, such as Bedlingtonshire Community High School.

The new building opened to students on Thursday, 8 September 2016, which marked a fresh start for Longbenton with the new brand of Longbenton High School. The old West Block, East Block, HMT, Canteen and DT block were all demolished following the opening of Longbenton High School.

Alumni
Notable ex-pupils include rugby union player Sarah Hunter MBE and England footballer Peter Beardsley MBE.

Micranthes stellaris

Micranthes stellaris, synonym Saxifraga stellaris, the starry saxifrage or hairy kidney-wort, is an Arctic–alpine species in the family Saxifragaceae. It produces panicles of 5–10 white flowers on a stem up to 20 cm tall, rising from a basal leaf rosette. One subspecies is found from eastern Canada to Russia, including the British Isles, while another is found in the mountains of southern Europe.

Description
Micranthes stellaris grows as a leaf rosette, which produces a generally leafless stem up to 20 cm tall. The leaves are toothed and somewhat fleshy, ovate or obovate, and without an obvious petiole. They are typically 3 cm long (varying from 1 to 5 cm), with a cuneate (wedge-shaped) base.

The flowers are borne in a loose panicle comprising 5–10 flowers; each flower has deflexed sepals, surrounding five white petals, 3 - 6 mm long, with two yellow or red spots near the base. The anthers are also red or yellow. Flowers are borne from June to August.

The seeds are dark brown, glabrous, 0.6 - 0.8 mm long, and 0.3 - 0.4 mm wide. They are elliptic, ovoid or reniform in shape, with longitudinal ribs bearing spines. M. stellaris has a chromosome number of 2n = 28.

Taxonomy
Micranthes stellaris was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1753 work Species Plantarum as Saxifraga stellaris. Linnaeus noted the species' occurrence in the mountains of Spitsbergen, Lapland, Switzerland, Styria and Westmorland. The nominate subspecies, Micranthes stellaris subsp. stellaris is the northern subspecies, occurring from Canada to Russia, including the British Isles. The subspecies in the Alpide belt and other mountains in southern Europe is often called M. stellaris subsp. alpigena, but an older name has priority – M. stellaris subsp. robusta. The name M. stellaris subsp. prolifera is used for plants from the south-eastern Alps which have few flowers but produce bulbils along the stems.

Distribution and ecology
Micranthes stellaris has an Arctic–alpine distribution. It is found from Baffin Island, Labrador and Greenland to Arctic Russia, including Iceland, Scandinavia and the British Isles. Further south, it is found from the Sierra Nevada in southern Spain to the eastern Carpathians, including lower ranges such as the Massif Central.

In the Arctic, M. stellaris may occur down to sea level. Within the British Isles, M. stellaris is abundant in North Wales, Northern England and Scotland, reaching the summit of Ben Nevis (1344 m), but is only found locally in Ireland. Its southernmost stations in Great Britain are the slopes of Plynlimon and the Rheidol valley; it does not occur in the mountains of South Wales. In the Vosges, it occurs around 3600 ft, but only rarely below 4300 - 4600 ft in the Swiss Alps. In the Sierra Nevada of southern Spain, it lives at up to 3350 m.

Micranthes stellaris lives in damp environments, such as wet flushes, beside streams or springs, or on wet rock ledges. It is self-compatible, but its flowers are protandrous, and are usually pollinated by flies.

Democratic Party (United States)
I'm looking for suggestions on how to improve this article. I hope it gets to featured article status but I need to know what the major things to be worked on are. --Revolución (talk) 22:53, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

OK, from top to bottom (keep in mind I'm only commenting on FA criteria and likely opposes, not on POV copyediting etc.):
 * 1) You're going to need a three paragraph intro for a article that huge - see WP:LEAD
 * 2) Infobox - "International affiliation" - just keep it at "none" - make a FOOTNOTE if you must, otherwise it extends the infobox too much
 * 3) "Issue positions, principles, and values" - turn that list into prose - there's no need for it there...
 * 4) "Factions of the Democratic Party" - again, no need for a list here
 * 5) "Symbols" - compress the paragraphs together for easier reading
 * 6) "History" - personal peeve is that the first image is a little big.... maybe trim down the size if you can. Not a big deal though.
 * 7) "1980s-2000s" - this is like three times the size of the other subsections - split it up. Also try to trim the size of this in general if you can... if not its not a big deal.
 * 8) "Prominent figures of the Democratic Party" - these lists are huge.... maybe seperate articles are in order
 * 9) "State affiliates" - maybe merge this with "A note on style" or something.... its pretty small
 * 10) "See also" - needs to be organized. See Autism for a good example.
 * 11) "References" - speaking of which there's like [Ref10] etc. in 1980's history. Subheaders here are annoying here also. Consider ref/note combo. You don't have to use that though.
 * 12) "External links" - could use more decription of what they are

Hope that helps! Ryan Norton T 23:13, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you! --Revolución (talk) 01:56, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * This is good work on an inherently controversial subject. I agree with Ryan's comments, especially on using fewer bulleted lists. Might I also suggest that you move the history to a separate History of the United States Democratic Party, and replace it with a three or four paragraph summary. The current article is somewhat overwhelmed by the history section, and it means that there is too little room to discuss the party today. For instance, there is only a fairly short paragraph on the structure, organization, and funding of the party. I would also like to see more on who supports the party. What regional, socioeconomic, and racial groups are more likely to support the Democrats? The article also need some footnotes. The external link in the lead should be replaced by one, and the quotes in the Issues section should be sourced. - SimonP 15:05, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

I have done many of the things Ryan recommended, but I'm still open to more comments. --Revolución (talk) 22:28, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

"Factions" are described twice, once under headings and once in a long bulleted list. The second list strikes me as more of a list of idealogical groups in the Democratic Party, rather than a list of factions. However, there are factions in this list too (African-Americans, Yellow Dog Demos). I suggest calling the second list "Idealogical Organizations in the Democratic Party" and limiting it to actual organizations, not groups or factions. Griot 15:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)Griot

I would remove or rewrite this comment: "The most common hypothesis for why the Democrats lost was that the Republicans ran in opposition to gay rights and used state ballot initiatives against same-sex marriage to attract more so-called "values voters" to the polls." Its politically loaded, partial and listing Michael Moore's Stupid White Men as a reference is hardly giving this portion of the analysis the impartiality it needs to have. I would shore up the part about the Dems losing because they failed to distinguish themselves or deliver a concrete message- much more plausible explanations. I would say it is safer to mention this as one possible scenario, but hardly should it be considered "the most common hypothesis". Its basically saying that Democrats lost the 2004 election because most of the country is homophobic...that's borderline ad hominem.

This sentence "The Democratic Party traces its origins to the Democratic-Republican Party, founded by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and other influential opponents of the Federalists in 1792." is misleading as both parties (modern day Republicans and Democrats) have a claim on the original ideals espoused by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. I would either add that the Republican party traces it's roots to that party as well or simply delete it. It is well documented and widely accepted that Jefferson was an adversary of an energetic and expansive government, and an advocate of greater power allocated to the states. Both of these ideologies are alive and well in the conservative wing of the Republican Party.--Incisive83 (talk) 16:33, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Rest in peace my little friend I had so many s.iles wen I watched you in Frasier I fell in love and got my own little Eddie but a girl lol. She's called Molly and would be loved you. You were super clever and lovely looking have fun in doggie heaven. Razor42x (talk) 08:15, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Age at death
His trainer said he was 16 and a half when he died meaning he would have been born on Dec 24 1989, not 1990. - Actually, Moose's "autobiography" reveales he was born in 1990:

"I was born on a freezing cold, rainy night, which was peculiarly strange for Florida. The town: Weirsdale. The year: 1990."

So either this is a year out or his trainer was a year out. I'm not quite sure which. You'd think his trainer would be right, but then again they did a lot of research for the book so perhaps Mathild said 16.5 instead of 15.5 by mistake.

Perhaps this dispute should be mentioned in the article?

 * Well, it does say that DeCagny received Moose when he was already 2⅓, not having presenced his birth and not being the original owner might have led her to confusion? R.I.P. Moose, I could have learned a lot from him. Oleksandr 13:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Not In "The Mask"
This erroneous info seems to have put on a few sites, along with this one, sometime after his death. Moose did not play Milo in "The Mask". That dog's name is (was?) Max. Check out this DVD Cover on Amazon. There is also this list of the caston allmovie.com. Steve--63.215.27.57 03:26, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Pop Culture
Moose (usually known as "Eddie" or "the Dog from Frasier) is probably one of the more famous, non-starring (eg. Lassie) dogs in showbusiness. He's had quite a few references that I've noticed throughout many different shows and a few other media.  Since it's so unusual, it should probably be added his pop-cultural impact having spread beyond Frasier.

One that comes to mind right away is in an episode of the Simpsons with Mel Gibson, during a tour, they passed by a house "owned by the Dog from Fraiser".

- add any more if you can think of any! If I had more time right now, I could probably actually remember them.-70.74.122.87 23:34, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Did he retire six and a half years before death or one year before death? Hijiri 88 ( 聖やや ) 13:08, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:6450833.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:6450833.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 23:05, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
