Seoul Metropolitan Subway rolling stock

There are many types of trains in Seoul but they are generally similar to each other. All Seoul Metropolitan Subway rolling stock follow the Japanese-style commuter/subway train interior layout of all-longitudinal seating with luggage racks above seats (except Line 9, Shinbundang Line and light rail lines). Typically, train cars have four pairs of doors on each side. In between the doors are rows of either cushioned or non-cushioned seats for 7 people, except for the outer ends of each wagon where there are smaller rows of seats for 3 people, marked for the use by the elderly, disabled passengers, and pregnant women.

This list focuses primarily on trains that run on the 9 urban subway lines in Seoul, the wide-area commuter rail lines integrated into the Seoul Metropolitan Subway, and the AREX airport railroad. The list does not, however, include rolling stock used on the Incheon Subway and light metro systems such as the U Line or EverLine.

Emergency procedures
Each train has at least one fire extinguisher and options for opening the door in an emergency. A SOS phone is placed in most cars operated by the Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation, and all new rolling stock.

Help for English Speakers
All trains in Seoul have both English and Korean announcements regarding each train stop. In addition, a map displays their names in both Korean and Latin characters. Many trains also have a LED display above a door or in the middle of the train car that displays information in Korean and English, though many side signs have been removed from trains due to their reduced visibility with the advent of platform screen doors. Some of the newest trains feature LCD screens above the doors or the middle of the train that display short commercials and station information.

Seoul Metro & Korail
All cars are 19.5 meters in length, 3.12 meters in width, and 3.8 meters in height. Newer trains operated by Seoul Metro are usually given the same number as the trains they are intended to replace.

All trains on Lines 5-8 are equipped with an ATO (Automatic Train Operation) systems. However, there is always a driver on board in case of a failure in the ATO system.

Active (built after 2000)
All trains use VVVF inverter-based propulsion systems. Older trains generally use GTOs, while newer trains generally use IGBTs.

Seoul Metro Line 9 Corporation (Metro 9)
All trains on Line 9 are six cars long, although many were initially built with four cars.

Seoul Metro (Line 9 Corporation) 9000-series
 * First batch (2008) – trains 01~24
 * Newer cars for extending trains to six cars built in 2018.

Culford

Culford is a village and civil parish about 4 mi north of Bury St Edmunds and 62 mi north east of London in the West Suffolk district of Suffolk, England.

According to the 2011 Census the parish had a population of 578, a decrease from 620 recorded at the 2001 census.

A tributary of the River Lark, known as Culford Stream, flows through the centre of the village being fed from Ampton Water in Great Livermere. It continues Westward into West Stow before joining the River Lark at Clough Staunch on the edge of Lackford Lakes.

The main village developed along a straight road called "The Street" and there are also some smaller residential areas in Culford, like Benyon gardens, a complex of cul-de-sacs. Most of the houses in central Culford date from the second half of the 1800s and were built as part of the Culford Estate while those at the edges of the village are post-war and later. The centre of the village, along with the Park, and most of West Stow is a conservation area which was established on 4 December 1997. The village also encompasses the hamlets of Culford Heath and Chimney Mills.

Culford is home to Culford School, a public school and a member of the Methodist Schools Foundation. The school occupies a former stately home in Culford Park, rebuilt in 1796 for the Cornwallis family.

History
The village's name is derived from the words Cula's Ford, Cula presumed to be name of local leader.

The village is mentioned as Culeforde in the S1225 charter of 1040 AD where Thurketel grants the lands to Bury St Edmunds Abbey. The Domesday Book records the population of Culford in 1086 to be 32 households made up of 2 villagers, 19 freemen, 9 smallholders, and  2 slaves along with 1 cattle, 2 pigs, 85 sheep, and 14 acres of meadow.

In April and May 1291 King Edward I stayed at the manor in Culford during his visit to Bury St Edmunds Abbey where he agreed that royal justices would not in future sit within the Liberty of St Edmund.

In 1804 The Iron Bridge was constructed over the tributary of the River Lark, that flows through Culford Park. It was the world's first iron bridge to be constructed with hollow segments, built to the design of Samuel Wyatt, and is the only Grade I listed structure in the parish.

Culford's Public House, The White Hart, (now known as Benyon Lodge) was closed in December 1840 by Richard Benyon, owner of the Culford Estate between 1824 and 1883, because he regarded it as "a scene of moral debauchery".

The first mention of a postal service in Culford is in July 1852, when a type of postmark known as an undated circle was issued. The post office closed in January 1990 and has since been turned into Culford Day nursery.

Governance
Culford lies in the West Suffolk District of the shire county of Suffolk. The four tiers of government & their respective representatives are:

 * West Suffolk Parliamentary Constituency Matthew Hancock
 * Suffolk County Council Thingoe North Division, Beccy Hopfensperger
 * West Suffolk District Council Risby Ward, Susan Glossop
 * Culford, West Stow and Wordwell Parish Council

Culford, West Stow and Wordwell Parish Councill has 7 elected members, 4 for Culford, 2 for West Stow and 1 for Wordwell.

In terms of community planning the parish does not currently have a Parish Plan or Village Design Statement.

Notable residents

 * Earl Cornwallis (1660-1824), Aristocratic family and politicians
 * Sir Nathaniel Bacon KB (1585–1627), Painter
 * Richard Benyon De Beauvoir (1769–1854), Politician, philanthropist, who was (MP) for Pontefract from 1802 to 1806, and for Wallingford from 1806 to 1812. A Justice of the Peace, Deputy Lieutenant for the county of Berkshire, and High Sheriff of Berkshire.
 * George Cadogan, 5th Earl Cadogan (1840-1915), Major in the Royal Fusiliers, Lord Privy Seal from 1886 to 1892, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland from 1895 to 1902, first Mayor of the Metropolitan Borough of Chelsea in 1900, and a Justice of the Peace.
 * Gerald Cadogan, 6th Earl Cadogan (1869-1933), captain in the Suffolk Regiment and later with the South African Constabulary, member of the International Olympic Committee.
 * Henry Cadogan, Viscount Chelsea (1868-1908), Conservative MP for Bury St Edmunds, captain in the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers

Orio, Spain

Orio is a fishing town located in the province of Gipuzkoa in the Basque Autonomous Community, northern Iberia, with the town nucleus lying on the river Oria, roughly one mile away from its mouth by the Bay of Biscay. Orio had a population of 5,901 inhabitants as of 2016.

Traditionally a town attached to the sea and the fishing industry, this sector is losing ground to the more profitable and less demanding tourism, rapidly developing after marshes between the town and the beach were drained with a view to building up new tourist oriented housing. The most widely known and conspicuous sport activity in Orio is the rowing regatta typical of the Basque and Cantabric coastal area, featuring a team represented by the yellow colour.

The town is served by Euskotren Trena's coastal line, the N-634 road and the A-8 motorway (since 2010).

A festival representing the last catch of North Atlantic right whales within Basque whaling in 1901, have been held on every 5 years. This catch also reflected in a folk |improvised poem popularized by singer-songwriter Benito Lertxundi.

Geography
Orio is located on the coast of Gipuzkoa, in the Beterri region. The town is located next to the last meadow of the river Oria, before its mouth (river mouth), in the Bay of Biscay.

The territory of the municipality of Orio is 9.81 km². The river Oria sets the southern and western boundaries between Orio and Aia, on the right bank of Orio and Aia, on the left. It is curious that both sides of the Oria River are under the jurisdiction of Oriente, although the river is bounded by two municipalities, traditionally because Orio has controlled the river.

From the North, the Cantabrian Sea borders the border, with the majority of the coastline of Orio formed by cliffs. Specifically, the only humble coastline of the area is located on the right bank of the river on the Antilla beach. The northeastern part of the municipality forms the Talaimendi mountain, with a peak of Kukuarri (362m).

CIT Group

CIT Group (CIT), a subsidiary of First Citizens BancShares, is an American financial services company. It provides financing, including factoring, cash management, treasury management, mortgage loans, Small Business Administration loans, leasing, and advisory services principally to individuals, middle-market companies and small businesses, primarily in North America. Under the reporting mark CEFX, it leases locomotives and railroad cars to rail transport and shipping companies in North America. It also operates a direct bank. In January 2022, CIT was acquired by First Citizens BancShares.

Founding and early history
On February 11, 1908, Henry Ittleson founded the Commercial Credit and Investment Company in St. Louis, Missouri to finance accounts receivable at small companies.

In 1915, the company moved its headquarters to New York City and renamed itself Commercial Investment Trust (CIT). By that time, the company provided financing for wholesale suppliers and producers of consumer goods. The company added automobile financing to its product line in 1916 through an agreement with Studebaker, the first of its kind in the auto industry. During World War I, CIT financed the manufacture of 150 submarine chasers. It also added consumer financing of radios through an agreement with Thomas Edison, Inc. During the Roaring Twenties following the war, consumer spending rose dramatically and CIT prospered in its consumer appliance, furniture, and automobile financing groups. In 1924, CIT incorporated in Delaware and became a public company via an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange. CIT began offering factoring in 1928 and expanded operations into Europe in 1929.

With international tensions rising prior to World War II, CIT closed its German operations in 1934. Arthur O. Dietz succeeded Ittleson as president of the company in 1939. During the war, CIT offered its 2,000 employees a month's bonus, life insurance, and a guaranteed job on return if they served in the United States Armed Forces. Between 1947 and 1950, the company's net income rose from $7.3 million to $30.8 million. Ittleson died at age 77 on October 27, 1948.

1950s - 1990s
In 1957, the company moved into a new building at 650 Madison Avenue in Manhattan. In 1958, to diversify, the company acquired Picker X-Ray Corporation, maker of X-ray and radiation equipment, for $1.9 million. In 1960, Walter Lundell succeeded Dietz as president of the company. In 1964, it acquired Gibson Greeting Cards for $36 million. In 1965, it acquired Meadow Brook Bank for $106.7 million in stock. In 1969, CIT entered the personal and home equity loan and leasing business and left auto financing. In 1979, restrictive banking rules forced CIT to sell its bank, National Bank of North America. CIT was acquired by RCA Corporation in 1980. RCA promptly sold CIT's four manufacturing businesses: Picker X-Ray, Inc., Gibson Greeting Cards, Inc., All-Steel, Inc. (office furniture), and Raco, Inc. (wall boxes for electric switches and outlets.) The Madison Avenue building was sold in 1982 as the company moved to a newly constructed headquarters facility in Livingston, New Jersey in 1983.

In 1984, CIT was sold to Manufacturers Hanover Trust. In 1989, Manufacturers Hanover Trust sold 60% of CIT to Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank of Japan.

In 1991, the company acquired Fidelcor Business Credit Corporation, which increased its services to small businesses. In 1992, CIT opened 15 new offices in 7 states.

In 1997, the company became a public company via an initial public offering that raised $850 million.

On November 15, 1999, CIT acquired Toronto-based Newcourt Credit Group in a $4.2 billion transaction, which created one of the largest publicly owned leasing companies.

Early 2000s
In 2001, Tyco acquired CIT for $9.2 billion in stock. CIT was renamed as Tyco Capital.

Tyco ran into operating troubles and sold or spun off non-core operations, including CIT. On July 8, 2002, Tyco completed its divestment of its Tyco Capital business through an initial public offering, via the sale of 100% of the common shares in CIT Group Inc.

In 2004, the company acquired the technology-leasing unit of GATX for about $200 million in cash.

In 2006, CIT moved its global headquarters back to New York City, opening a new headquarters at 11 West 42nd Street, across from the New York Public Library.

Under the leadership of CEO Jeff Peek, assets at CIT rose 77% from 2004 to the end of 2007 as it acquired companies in education lending and subprime mortgages. Those acquisitions turned out to be disastrous for the company and in the following eight quarters, CIT reported more than $3 billion in losses.

Bankruptcy and reorganization
On July 1, 2008, the company announced the sale of its home lending division to Lone Star Funds for $1.5 billion in cash and the assumption of $4.4 billion in debt and the sale of its manufactured housing loan portfolio, with a face value of $470 million in loans, to Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance for approximately $300 million. In December 2008, CIT became a bank holding company to receive $2.33 billion in funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).

On July 15, 2009, CIT's request for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation loan guarantees was rejected.

On July 19, 2009, the company received $3 billion from its bondholders including Pacific Investment Management Company (PIMCO) to delay bankruptcy.

On November 1, 2009, CIT filed a prepackaged bankruptcy under Chapter 11.

On December 10, 2009, CIT emerged from bankruptcy protection.

As part of the reorganization plan, CIT named seven new independent directors. On January 19, 2010, Peter J. Tobin, a member of the board of directors, was named interim chief executive officer, replacing Jeff Peek, who resigned effective January 15, 2010. On February 8, 2010, former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain was hired as chairman and chief executive officer.

In June 2014, the company acquired Direct Capital.

On August 3, 2015, CIT Group acquired OneWest Bank, established in 2009 by a consortium of private equity investors led by Steven Mnuchin, for $3.4 billion in cash and stock.

2016 to present
In March 2016, CEO John Thain retired and was succeeded by Ellen Alemany, a member of the board of directors.

In April 2017, the company sold its aircraft lease business to Avolon for $10.38 billion.

In October 2017, the company sold Financial Freedom, acquired as part of the acquisition of OneWest Bank, and its reverse mortgage portfolio.

In October 2018, the company sold its European rail leasing business, NACCO, which was its last overseas operation.

In January 2020, CIT acquired Mutual of Omaha Bank.

In January 2022, CIT was acquired by First Citizens BancShares.

Pasaia

Pasaia (Pasajes) is a town and municipality located in the province of Gipuzkoa in the Basque Autonomous Community of northern Spain. It is a fishing community, commercial port and the birthplace of the famous admiral Blas de Lezo and of the fashion designer Paco Rabanne.

Pasaia lies approximately 5 km east of Donostia's centre, lying at the foot of Mount Ulia and the Jaizkibel massif. The municipality numbers 16,056 inhabitants ( estimates), clustering around the Bay of Pasaia in four nuclei, namely Pasai San Pedro, Pasai San Juan (or Donibane in Basque), Antxo and Trintxerpe, with each part showing distinctive features.

History
The first documented mention of this place, written in 1203, calls it Oiarso. The name was later changed to "Pasage" (first attested in the 15th century), which means 'port' in Gascon. Gascons had come to inhabit the area side by side with the Basque people at the beginning of the 13th century.

It was a major source of revenue for the municipal coffers on the strength of its position on commercial sea routes. The Guipuzcoana Company used this as its main port, and there were as many as seven shipyards here in the mid-17th century. Historically the area was controlled by two competing baronies: Hondarribia, controlling Donibane, the right bank; and Donostia (San Sebastián), with jurisdiction over San Pedro, the left bank. Donibane separated from Hondarribia in 1770, and San Pedro separated from Donostia in 1805.

The district of Antxo was formed in 1890, when the Irun-Madrid railway came through. Trintxerpe, next to San Pedro, was the last district to form. Trintxerpe and Antxo eventually became a continuous urban strip with the eastern districts of Donostia.

Dreamcatcher (2003 film)

Dreamcatcher is a 2003 American science fiction horror film based on Stephen King's 2001 novel of the same name. Directed by Lawrence Kasdan and co-written by Kasdan and screenwriter William Goldman, the film stars Thomas Jane, Jason Lee, Damian Lewis and Timothy Olyphant as four friends who encounter an invasion of parasitic aliens. It also features Morgan Freeman, Tom Sizemore and Donnie Wahlberg.

Dreamcatcher was released on March 21, 2003. The film received negative reviews and was a box-office bomb, having grossed $75.7 million against a $68 million budget.

Plot
Jonesy, Beaver, Pete and Henry are four friends on an annual hunting trip in Maine. As children, they all acquired telepathic powers which they call "the line" after saving a boy with disabilities named Douglas "Duddits" Cavell from bullies and befriending him.

One night, Jonesy sees Duddits beckoning him to cross the street, but as he does so, Jonesy is hit by a car. His injuries heal with mysterious speed, and six months later, he is able to make it for the group's annual trip. Jonesy rescues a man lost in the forest named Rick McCarthy. He is very ill, so Jonesy and Beaver let him rest and recover inside their cabin. Suddenly, all the forest animals—predator and prey both—run past their cabin in the same direction, followed by two military helicopters that announce the area is now quarantined. Jonesy and Beaver return to the cabin to find a trail of blood from the bedroom to the bathroom, where Rick sits dead, covered in blood. A three-foot long worm-like creature writhes and screams in the toilet. Beaver sits atop the toilet lid to trap the creature, but the creature breaks out and kills him. Jonesy tries to escape, but is confronted by a large alien called Mr. Gray, who possesses Jonesy's body.

Nearby, Henry and Pete crash their SUV to avoid running over a frostbitten woman from Rick's original hunting party. Henry walks for help while Pete stays with the woman. She dies and also excretes a worm, which Pete barely manages to kill. Mr. Gray tricks and kidnaps Pete, but Jonesy telepathically warns Henry to stay hidden. Henry returns to the cabin to find Beaver dead and the worm that killed him laying a group of eggs. To kill all of the alien larvae, he sets fire to the cabin.

Meanwhile, an elite military unit specializing in extraterrestrials, led by the unhinged Colonel Abraham Curtis, seeks to contain everyone exposed to the aliens. Col. Curtis is planning to retire after this operation and will pass command, along with a pearl-handled stainless-steel .45 pistol, to Captain Owen Underhill, his trusted friend and second-in-command. The two lead an air-strike into a large forest clearing where the aliens' spaceship has crash-landed. The aliens use telepathy to ask for mercy, but the helicopters massacre most of the aliens with mini-guns and missiles. The alien ship self-destructs, destroying the remaining aliens and two helicopters.

Jonesy retraces his memories of the area while watching Mr. Gray use his body. Mr. Gray tries to coerce Pete into cooperating but eats him when he refuses. Jonesy realizes that Mr. Gray possessed him, not by chance, but to access memories of Duddits, which he needs. Henry arrives at the fenced-in quarantine camp only to realize that Col. Curtis plans to kill all of those quarantined. Henry convinces Underhill to prevent this by going over Curtis' head and having him relieved.

Henry and Underhill break out of the camp and head to Duddits' home. Duddits, who is dying of leukemia, informs them Mr. Gray is headed for the Quabbin Reservoir to seed the water with alien larvae. Curtis, realizing the danger looming to the entire planet, leaves the camp in his armed helicopter and tracks down Henry, Underhill, and Duddits, attacking them at the reservoir. Underhill is mortally wounded and dies shortly after he shoots Curtis down.

In the reservoir's pump house, Henry manages to stop Mr. Gray's plan, but struggles to bring himself to kill Jonesy, unable to tell if he is possessed. Unknown to him, an alien larva hatches and begins crawling toward the water. Duddits confronts Mr. Gray, who finally exits Jonesy's body. The two struggle as Duddits reveals himself to also be an alien of a different race. Both aliens explode in a cloud of red-dust which briefly resembles a dreamcatcher. Jonesy, now himself again, steps on the final alien larva before it can contaminate the reservoir.

Production
Dreamcatcher was filmed around Prince George, British Columbia for seven weeks, starting in January 2002. Further shooting was done in Vancouver for ten weeks.

Box office
With a box-office gross of $33,685,268 in the North American domestic market, Dreamcatcher earned only half of its estimated $68 million production budget, barely surpassing it worldwide with $75,715,436. The film is considered a flop.

In a 2012 interview, during a promotional tour for his film Darling Companion, Kasdan admitted that the commercial failure of Dreamcatcher left him "Wounded careerwise...But not so much personally. I've been personally wounded by other movies, where I'd written it, and thought, 'Oh, God, the world's not interested in what I'm interested in.' With Dreamcatcher, the career was hurt. I was planning to do The Risk Pool with Tom Hanks. I had written the script from a great book by Richard Russo (Nobody's Fool). And it didn't happen. Then another one didn't happen. Meanwhile, two years have passed here, two have passed there. That's how you're wounded."

Critical response
Dreamcatcher received negative reviews from critics, earning a 28% rating on review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes based on 180 reviews, and an average rating of 4.73/10. The site's consensus states: "An incoherent and overly long creature feature." On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 35 out of 100 based on 38 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "C+" on an A+ to F scale.

Mick LaSalle's review for the San Francisco Chronicle summed up the film as "a likeable disaster." Richard Roeper commented that "not since Death to Smoochy have so many talented people made such a mess of things."

Roger Ebert gave the film 1.5 stars out of a possible 4, writing: '"Dreamcatcher" begins as the intriguing story of friends who share a telepathic gift, and ends as a monster movie of stunning awfulness. What went wrong?" Ebert thought Jonesy's Memory Warehouse was a highlight, and intriguing enough to be the focus of a film, though Dreamcatcher neglects the concept to instead emphasize gore.

King's reaction
At the time of its release, Stephen King praised the film, stating, "This is one of the very, very good adaptations of my work."

Retouch (lithics)

Retouch is the act of producing scars on a stone flake after the ventral surface has been created. It can be done to the edge of an implement in order to make it into a functional tool, or to reshape a used tool. Retouch can be a strategy to reuse an existing lithic artifact and enable people to transform one tool into another tool. Depending on the form of classification that one uses, it may be argued that retouch can also be conducted on a core-tool, if such a category exists, such as a hand-axe.

Retouch may simply consist of roughly trimming an edge by striking with a hammerstone, or on smaller, finer flake or blade tools it is sometimes carried out by pressure flaking. Other forms of retouch may include burination, which is retouch that is conducted in a parallel orientation to the flake margin. Retouch is often taken as one of the most obvious features distinguishing a tool from a waste by-product of lithic manufacture (debitage).

The extent of reduction, also known as the retouch intensity, is denoted by a measure of the reduction index. There are many quantitative and qualitative methods used to measure this.

Quantitative measurements
There are three indices of retouch that offer significant inferential power in determining the amount of mass lost in the process of retouching. Despite particular weaknesses associated with each method, the following methods have been shown to be the most robust, versatile, sensitive, and comprehensive.

Geometric index of unifacial reduction (GIUR)
This method uses measurements of flake thickness and the height of retouch scars to produce a ratio between 0 and 1 of the index of reduction. In the original publication on GIUR by Kuhn (1990), scars are measured at three points (t) along the retouched edge (usually at proximal, medial, and distal points) and then divided by the overall thickness (T) to produce this ratio. The equation is GIUR= ((t1+t2+t3)/3)/T. However, scholars have recently revised Kuhn's methods by measuring T at each point t is measured. The updated calculation is GIUR= (t1/T1+ t2/T2 + t3/T3)/3. The new method creates more data points and may erase biases caused by high variation in artefact thickness. Typically, higher GIUR values indicate more invasive or extensive retouch. Calipers can be used to measure the height of the retouch scar or a goniometer can be used to measure the angle of the retouch and the height can be calculated with the equation t=D sin(a), where "D" is scar length and "a" is angle of retouch. Limitations of the GIUR are its restriction to use on unifacially retouched flakes and that as values increase, they are less able to accurately represent mass loss, because once retouch meets or succeeds the dorsal spine, t/T ratios decline

Invasiveness index
This index divides both the dorsal and ventral surface of a flake into eight sections each and calculates a score of how invasive the retouch is. It is based on adding up individual scores from each of the eight sections (each section gets a score of 0, 0.5, or 1) and dividing the total by the number of sections. This index can be used on both unifacially and bifacially retouched flakes.

Initial-/terminal-mass comparison (ITMC)
This index estimates the initial flake mass through the use of laser scanners and the measurement of platform area and exterior platform angle. The platform must be fully intact in order to use this method.

Other measures of retouch

 * Ratio of ventral area to platform area
 * Hafted biface retouch index
 * Estimated reduction percentage (ERP)
 * Ratio of retouched edge to total perimeter

Retouch morphology
This consists of identifying the scar morphology of the retouch. There may be more than one type of scar morphology on a single flake. There are three types of scar morphology.

1. Scaled retouch scars

These are short, become wider at their distal end, and along the flake edge have an acute angle.

2. Stepped retouch scars

These are short, have stepped terminations at their distal end, and along the flake edge have a higher angle.

3. Parallel retouch scars

These are roughly parallel to one another and run along the flake margin.

Retouch direction
This is essentially the direction in which the retouch was removed. There are five common directions of retouch.

1. Obverse retouch

This is retouch that is struck from the ventral surface, causing scars to show up on the dorsal margin. This happens to be the most commonly present retouch direction.

2. Inverse retouch

This is retouch that is struck from the dorsal surface, causing scars to show up on the ventral margins.

3. Alternate retouch

This is present when obverse retouch is apparent on one flake margin, while inverse retouch is apparent on the opposing flake margin.

4. Alternating retouch

This is when obverse and inverse retouch are both present on the same flake margin, but on differing parts of that margin.

5. Bifacial retouch

This is when obverse and inverse retouch are present on the same area of the same flake margin.

Retouch location
This is quite simply a description of where exactly the retouch is located on the flake. The key here is to be very specific. The retouch extensiveness for each area should also be described. This entails whether the retouch is total or partial. Proper flake terminology should be used in these descriptions.

Ethnographic research
Through ethnographic research in Central Australia, Hiscock found that retouch may be conducted on a flake that is ultimately rejected as a tool for use. This shows that retouch may, in some cases, not be a sign of extending the use life of a tool. It may simply be an attempt to make a tool viable for use in the first place and can indicate that particular tool's unsuitability for use. This calls into question many of the basic assumptions made based on retouch and suggests that archaeologists may need to rethink exactly what retouch may mean.

Talk:Emperor Kōkō

How better to present these dates?
In the Kugyō section: .................................................... lifetime, 836-891 ... time in office (884-887) .......... Kampaku (884-887), Fujiwara no Mototsune　(藤原基経), 884-887

 * Kampaku, Fujiwara no Mototsune　(藤原基経), 884-887.
 * Daijō-daijin, Fujiwara no Mototsune　(藤原基経), 880-891.
 * Sadaijin, Minamoto no Tooru　(源融), 872-895
 * Udaijin, Minamoto no Masaru　(源多),　882-888

In the intial edit, I intended to present the dates during which someone held a specific court title, but that now seems too ambitious for a start-level article. The intention had been to explain the sequence of serial officeholders with these dates.

Instead, it's probably better to simply list the birth/death dates. Arguably, it might be possible (or even preferable) to include both sets of dates as the information becomes available ...? --Ooperhoofd 19:39, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I think the terms of office is more important than the birth/death dates. Most Japanese references show only their terms. But, to present both date is possible, and from both dates I think we can get the other information (retirement, the reason of resignation, etc.). To show both dates, for example,
 * * Kampaku, Fujiwara no Mototsune　(藤原基経) (836-891), 884-887
 * or,
 * * Kampaku 884-887, Fujiwara no Mototsune　(藤原基経) (836-891)
 * Usually dates in parenthesis after their names are recognized their birth/death dates. We may need to consider where the terms of office are put in.
 * It's good to show the kugyo in the emperor's era. Especially, in Heian period, most kugyo were the relatives of the emperor and/or their wives, so, the information is very useful. After Kamakura period, it may be difficult to show all Dainagons and to identify them. After the period kugyo had little influence and many sub-Dainagons(? vice-Dainagons?)(権大納言, Gon-no-dainagon) existed. Mmmm, I should study (define?) how to express government posts and historical terms correctly in English...--Pentiles 12:10, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

NER 66 Aerolite

North Eastern Railway (NER) No. 66 Aerolite is a preserved British steam locomotive. It was classified X1 by the LNER. It was capable of reaching 55 mph (89 km/h).

History
Aerolite was built in 1869 as a replacement for an engine of the same name built by Kitson's for the Great Exhibition in 1851 and which was destroyed in a collision in 1868. The engine, like its predecessor, was used to haul the Mechanical Engineer's saloon. Originally a, side tanks were added 1886, and around this time it received the number 66.

In 1892 Aerolite was rebuilt into a, destroying much of the original engine. The well tank was removed, the side tanks expanded, and the two-cylinder Worsdell-von Borries compounding system applied. In 1902 it was again rebuilt into a.

Aerolite was withdrawn in 1933 and preserved in 1934 at the LNER's York museum. It was moved to Shildon Locomotion Museum from National Railway Museum in 2023 due to renovations at an engine shed. It is a static exhibit at Shildon Locomotion Museum in Shildon, County Durham as of 2024.

In popular culture
Aerolite is the basis for the Thomas & Friends character Whiff, an industrial rubbish engine whose job is to shunt rubbish to the Sodor rubbish dump.

Soraluze-Placencia de las Armas

Soraluze (Basque) or Placencia de las Armas (Spanish), officially Soraluze-Placencia de las Armas, is a town located in the province of Gipuzkoa, in the Basque Country, Spain.

The town of Placencia de las Armas has been involved since its foundation in the manufacture of weapons of all kinds. At its founding in 1343, it called Placencia Soraluze then in the fifteenth century it added "las Armas" or "weapons" to its name in reference to its main industry. In this village the Royal Guns Factory ended weapons manufacturing in the middle of the twentieth century.

Its coat of arms consists of the following elements: a field of gules a castle battlements three gold exiting their respective sides small white flags with the cross of Burgundy. The field is surrounded by a rope whose sides have two lions and various weapons. The head of a crown has 9 points.

Placencia
The town was founded in 1343 by king Alfonso XI of Castile under the name of "Placencia". The name "Placencia" is common, under similar forms, as seen in other foundations of earlier medieval villages like Plasencia, Piacenza or Plencia. It is considered that this name derives from the phrase  ut Placeat  (for pleasure or to please) expression with which the king or lord in turn used as the basis for a village or town's name. For example, the motto of the Plasencia Extremadura is  Deo et ut Placeat hominibus  (to please God and men). The early Basque presence in Newfoundland is commemorated by the town name Plasencia, documented in the archives as early as 1563.

The Basque place name, Soraluce
Soraluce (with the current Basque script is written Soraluze) appears to be the former name of the place where the town was founded. The king ordered the inhabitants of Herlaegia and Soraluze populate the newly created village of Placencia. When in 1397 the representatives of the village attended the first General Assembly of Gipuzkoa, they attended under the name of Placencia Soraluce, according to the records of the meeting.

In Basque language Soro means "field" or "garden" and luze means "long"; so that the name seems to mean pretty obviously "long field or orchard." In addition Placencia Soraluce is settled in a narrow valley along the Deba river, which matches up well with the name.

"De las armas" or "Of the arms"
In the sixteenth century the government greatly developed its arms industry in Placencia, so that people no longer called Placencia Soraluce but became known as '' Placencia de las Armas. '' Until the last quarter of the twentieth century, the arms industry has remained at the base of the economy of the town and today the village retains that designational fruit of its historical economic activity.

The colloquial and official name
In Basque the town is colloquially known under different names like, Plaentzia, Plazentzia, Plaentxi and Plaentxia. In addition to these "traditional" denominations the "historical" name was Soraluze. When formalizing the Basque name of the town the 'form' Soraluze was eventually chosen. Until 2005 the euskaltzaindia admitted Soraluze and Plaentzia as synonymous.

From 1988 the official name of the township was changed to  'Soraluze-Placencia de las Armas' . Although it considered a bilingual designation; Soraluze, Basque name, and Placencia de las Armas, in Spanish; others use it as a compound name.

The adjective in Spanish is placentino or placentina. In Basque soraluzetarra or plaentxiarra are used.

Terese Berceau

Terese L. Berceau (born August 23, 1950) is an American politician who served as a Democratic member of the Wisconsin State Assembly from 1999 until 2019.

Berceau was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin and graduated from the Green Bay East High School. She attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1973. She has been a resident of Madison, Wisconsin since 1969.

Prior to being elected to the State Assembly, Berceau served four terms on the Dane County Board of Supervisors from 1992 to 2000, representing the 20th Supervisory District on Madison's west side. She was Vice Chair of the Board from 1996 to 1998.

She also served on the City of Madison Community Development Authority from 1983 to 1992 and was a board member on the Greater Madison Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center.

Limits (BDSM)

In BDSM, limits refer to issues that participants in a play scene or dynamic feel strongly about, usually referring to prohibited activities. Participants typically negotiate an outline of what activities will and will not take place. The participants describe what they desire, do not desire, will and will not tolerate, including the determination of limits. For example, it is common to set a safeword and to establish certain types of play as prohibited.

The BDSM usage of the terminology "limits" derives from the concept of "off limits", the idea of limiting a scene to a specific set of activities, and the limitations (in terms of interest, as well as physical and emotional tolerance) of the participants.

Setting limits
Both dominants and submissives can set limits. Limits can be agreed to verbally or they can be incorporated into a formal contract. Sometimes the participants engage in a formal conversation about limits and boundaries; this is referred to as negotiation. Other couples discuss their likes and dislikes in a similar manner to "Vanilla" relationships.

"No limits"
Some partners choose not to set limits; however, this is uncommon and most likely to be seen in established relationships between committed partners. It may occur in total power exchange dynamics and can be considered a form of edgeplay. In wider kink and BDSM circles, especially in the context of casual play, “no limits” is commonly accepted to be an indication of an unsafe play partner.

Types of limits
The terminology varies slightly across different local communities and Internet forums. However, there are general usages recognized across most BDSM populations.

Hard limit
A hard limit is something that must not be done. This is so because it is essentially something which makes the party in question very uncomfortable or something which would invoke a triggered response from them. Violating a set hard limit is often considered cause for ending a scene or even a relationship. Examples include “scat is a hard limit for me” or “I have a back injury, so striking on the back is a hard limit”.

Soft limit
A soft limit is something that a person hesitates about or places strict conditions on, but for which they may still give informed consent. An action could be prohibited except under specific circumstances or an area of discomfort that someone wishes to avoid. Soft limits can also include actions that require a cautious approach or — while somewhat appealing — still generate an uncomfortable amount of apprehension in one or more partners.

Requirement limit
A requirement limit, or must-limit, is something without which one or more partners will not participate in the scene. Examples include “lots of hair pulling is a must-limit for me” or “if you're going to flog me, I'll need lots of aftercare.”

Time limit
A time limit is a set time period for which an activity or temporary relationship takes place. This is most common for scenes and casual play.

Some couples practice time limitations for relationships. They can be used to set time limits on phases of relationships, such as training or consideration.

Great Cacapon, West Virginia

Great Cacapon is a census-designated place (CDP) in Morgan County in the U.S. state of West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle. As of the 2010 census, its population was 386.

Great Cacapon takes its name from the Cacapon River (from the Native American meaning "medicine water") which empties into the Potomac River to the town's east. It was originally known as Cacapon Depot on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad mainline when a post office was established here in 1848. In 1876, its name was changed to Great Cacapon to differentiate it from Little Cacapon which was also on the B&O mainline. It lies four miles down Cacapon Mountain from the Panorama Overlook along Cacapon Road (West Virginia Route 9) west of Berkeley Springs.

Brain
This article about the most important part of the body has much improved. It has an excellent illustration for the cover page. --EncephalonSeven 05:27, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

For previous nomination, see Featured article candidates/Brain (archive) --Andrew Levine 07:01, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Minor object. 'Brain Regions in Vertebrates' subsection is a long list which needs converting into prose and written into detailed explanation for every link it contains. The Notes section needs to be a numbered list instead of bullet list. Image:Brains.jpg is missing a license template. External links section needs to be at the bottom below the Refs and Notes sections. — Wackymacs 15:27, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I just changed the Notes to a numbered list and moved External links - The Catfish 19:51, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Object and comment. Main objection occurs under the Brain Regions in Vertebrates list, where all of the parts of the brain should receive some sort of explanation besides what it stands for in Greek. Putting the greek definitions for the parts of the brain probably isn't the most relevant way to describe the regions. Also, many parts of the sublists are either capitalized or placed in bold font, which isn't incorrect, but is overused especially under the subdivisions of the brain. As for the comment, first off the Related topics is generally called See also. Virtuallly all of the links in the Invertebrates section are red and don't have any article at all. Usually, the History section of an article comes closer to the top as opposed to its location in the bottom of the article. Also, in the The biology of the brain section, the summary is placed at the end; perhaps it would be better to shift it upwards so that readers don't have to read the entire thing just to find there was a succint summary at the bottom. Some of the paragraphs in the history section could use a tiny bit of improvement; most are just 2 sentences. Other than that, it's okay. AndyZ 20:46, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Object. The intro is too long and disjointed. The history section should come immediately after the intro. The brain regions section clutters up the page and it already has its own article over in list of regions in the human brain. Pathology is strangely listed before anatomy, so people have no clue what is being said. Wikification is disjointed and repetative with weird capitalizations. Phrases such as "the human brain is a collection of 100 billion neurons, each linked with up to 25,000 others" in the intro have no reference whatsoever... Ugh. I hate to be a shit but a lot of work needs to be done before this goes to FA. I'll work on fixing what I can over the next few days or so. Semiconscious  ( talk  · home) 09:56, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

 * From this discussion, it appears that someone experienced in wikipedia formatting should reorganize the article. It could be polished further then. --68.55.196.15 18:37, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Object. The article needs a lot of work. While some subsections are great, the article needs to be reorganized considerably. Also, the internal logic has to be made-consistent. For example the intro states that invertebrates use ganglia rather than brains, but then the article spends a lot of time talking about invertebrate brains. There are a lot of unsourced facts, and a lot of extraneous information. Some of the headings have nothing to do with the section that follows them, see for example The importance of the brain. The sections that follow are general descriptive paragraphs about brains that state nothing about its importance. Importance for what?? Also some subsections occur at weird places and out of order. The list of brain regions should really be taken out and linked to its own article, the section should then be converted to a paragraph outlining the MAJOR subdivisions and the logic behing the various ways of subdividing the brain (eg. anatomical, developmental, functional).  This should ideally be accompanied by a helpful diagram. The only useful diagram  in the article is the one of a neuron, and the intro picture is nice. The other 2 are basically 'fluff' and convey no useful information related to the article.  I think all the elements are there to make a great article, but it still needs tons of work. I'll be happy to work to improve the article over the next few weeks and will contribute where I can, but as of now it certainly is not ready for FA. Nrets 01:33, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Object - needs reorganizing, needs a lot of pictures (I know it's hard to get them; btw I think we have a featured animation of human brains), needs clear & simple clasification & description of brains in different organisms (now it has overhelmingly too much about humans/mammals).

U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program

Support Great work --PopUpPirate 16:11, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment. To me, it reads primarily as a defence of the US Navy against common objections, more than as a plain article about the dolphins. Nevertheless, I can't quite put my finger on specific ways it could be improved because there may be common false allegations that need to be discussed. It's well written, but I somehow feel I'm being reassured rather than educated. So I can't quite make up my mind. Stephen Turner 16:15, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the comment. Being truly NPOV is hard, but I've tried :-)  I'm always open to suggestions on how to improve it.  However, I think that there is a real case backed up by good external references that some stories about the NMMP are really ludicrous — eg. the Hurricane Katrina story basically came from one guy, who has been seriously discredited (see links in the article, eg. the MSNBC story, plus Museum of Hoaxes).  Also, there will always be speculation about dolphins with limpet mines strapped to their backs, and I think the mobile mine info is a genuine counter to that.  (Ie. I've tried to list facts, not make opinions.)  OTOH, I think the animal welfare issue, and the very issue of whether the program should use these animals at all, are real issues, as I've tried to make clear — and provided a link to that petition page.  I'll look it over to see if I can squeeze a little more POV out of it.  — Johantheghost 16:40, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * OK, I've now added significant material to the "Animal Welfare" sec, and done some tweaks to the "In the Media" bit, both in the interests of NPOV. The "Welfare" section is now a bit of a list of anti-NMMP complaints, but I felt I had to list all of the objections which I've seen repeated in "significant" media.  Stephen, thanks again for your comment — I think this is a real improvement, and I'd be interested in your thoughts now.  — Johantheghost 17:47, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Support. Thank you. I think it's much better now and I'm happy to support. Stephen Turner 18:32, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Object POV issues here - most of which surrounds the controversy and basically says "well, ok there may have been some controversy but really its always been good"... I'll give some examples:
 * I've got to say I really don't agree here — just look at the long shopping list of complaints I've added in the "Animal Welfare" section. And I've now noted that the AAALAC accreditation doesn't rule out vivisection.  (Not that I think they're doing that, but it doesn't.)  Johantheghost 20:11, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * " much of this was fuelled by the program's own policy of secrecy, which was abandoned in the early 1990's" - this might be true but this wording is both defensive and dismissive of the supposed controversy in the previous sentence. Needs rewording or something.
 * Well... Remember that this is the lead section, which is supposed to be a summary; and saying "much of this was fuelled by the program's own policy of secrecy" is not dismissive, because it doesn't mean that the speculation and controversy aren't true.  So, I've reworded the section a little to clarify that that was what it was meant to say — and to explicitly mention animal welfare, which I had somehow omitted from the lead.  Johantheghost 20:11, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * "There have been recurring controversies over the Navy's alleged mistreatment of animals in the program. Today, however, the Navy's position is that positive reinforcement techniques exclusively are used in training of their animals, and that they are looked after in accordance with accepted standards." - Um, arn't you going to tell me what the controversy is before rebutting it? This reads like a navy press release :\. Not only that but the rest of that paragraph continues to rebut an argument that hasn't even been made yet! What? Then the entire paragraph afterwards continues to rebut the nonexistant argument... what's going on here? The third paragraph FINALLY starts to make the opposition's argument, but its a bit disjointed now and those should really go first here so people have a clue what you are rebutting. In fact, what you may need to do here is take the content from the first two paragraphs, which is press-release-ish anyway, and merge that into the controversy paragraphs.
 * I think you've misunderstood the structure of the section here, which is my fault of course, 'cos I didn't make it too clear. The first sentence or two are supposed to be a summary; the rest of the section then states the Navy's case (adherence to a standard for care of lab animals, basically) and the case against them — I count 9 specific points made against the Navy.  I really don't think I'm too much on their side... :-)  So, I've tried to clarify this by explicitly making the first bit a separate paragraph — I think it's a lot clearer now.
 * As for your idea that the 2 navy paras should be merged with the allegations, that wouldn't work, because those paragraphs don't contain any point-by-point rebuttal. The two paragraphs of Navy case basically say that they look after their animals really well, and that they have external oversight to prove it.  The three paragraphs of anti-Navy case present a whole bunch of specific complaints, and do actually contain 2 specific pieces of rebuttal.  Johantheghost

Anyway, I'll take another look when those are addressed :) Ryan Norton T 18:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, let me know what you think now! Thanks for your comments; I think it's genuinely better now.  Johantheghost 20:11, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Indeed! The wording in the intro is much better, and the warfare section looks a bit better :). What's the purpose of this sentence though - "Based on this accreditation, it is listed by the The Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums as a member"... it seems to have no real content (at least to a layman like myself) - why is it important? Ryan Norton T 20:33, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your positive comment. Yes, I know it's a little opaque, but the point is that they are a member of AMMPA which is a respectable animal-welfare org, so membership is supposed to be a guarantee of certain standards.  But, in this case, that membership is based purely on their AAALAC accreditation — ie. AMMPA isn't doing any additional oversight.  (I got this from a private email to AMMPA.)  BTW, I think the second para of Welfare is a bit big and clunky now — I think the split before "In addition..." is valid, because it goes on to the topic of external oversight, rather than self-supporting claims.  No biggie though.  — Johantheghost 20:41, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, I've clarified the AMMPA situation a bit. — Johantheghost 21:27, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Support Sharks Dolphins with frikkin laser beams! I made a few minor tweaks during the peer review process but the bulk of the work on this article has been Johantheghost's, who has done an excellent job on an interesting subject. — MC MasterChef  ::  Leave a tip — 23:32, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Support It is the sort of article that people will want to read. Well, I certainly wanted to. Bobblewik 07:42, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Support, Though PETA and its supporters won't like it. The fact remains, the use of animals as companions and weapons in war as old as warfare itself. Here is a high quality article on one of the more recent and high-tech examples of this fact. --R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 19:23, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the support. I hope PETA don't have a problem with the article — though I imagine they have one with the NMMP — since I've really tried to just set out the facts.  I hope the "anti" points are pretty well covered.  Cheers!  Johantheghost 20:16, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 'Object '. MUCH BETTER

It's good, but needs editing.
 * 1990's—why the apostrophe?
 * Fixed now Johantheghost 10:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Spell out numbers less than 10 ('five marine mammal teams').
 * Fixed now Johantheghost 10:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Where you bullet-point a sentence that contains listed items (e.g., in 'The program'), punctuate it as a real sentence, with a stop at the end. It's usual to put a semicolon at the end of each point, and the second-last one should finish with '; and'.
 * Can you specify what you're referring to? I can't find that.  Bear in mind that the Lists guide says not to punctuate the ends of sub-sentence list items. Johantheghost 10:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Insert a non-breaking space between values and abbreviated units (e.g., '60 m').
 * Fixed now Johantheghost 10:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 'the program's roots'—please change to 'the roots of the program', and do the same for analogous expressions. 'Animals' intelligence' is OK, though.
 * It looks fine as is to me — why would you change it? (Although I note that someone has ...) Johantheghost 10:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 'are trained for clearance of'—shouldn't there be a 'the' somewhere here?
 * Fixed now Johantheghost 10:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Fixed now Johantheghost 10:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

An hour or two of careful work by someone who's good at language (fresh eyes) will make it perfect. That is what a FA requires. Tony 14:44, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Someone has obviously done this; thanks! Johantheghost 10:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Support I went through and adressed most of the problems Tony mentions, plus a few that I found myself. I'll disagree on "the program's roots", however, I don't see a problem with that.  Overall, it has a few short paragraphs/subsections that could use a little strengthening, but not a big deal. --Spangineer  (háblame)  01:02, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Support, has got it all together. BD2412  talk 02:08, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I've gone through it.
 * Please see inline comment about MK 17—is there confusion between MK teams and MK weapons?.
 * Not really; the Navy (as far as terminology is concerned) treats its dolphins as weapons, hence "Mark 5 marine mammal system", "mark 48 torpedo", etc. I've removed this instance, though, since we don't need to know what version of ASROC it was. Johantheghost 10:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I presume you're using US spelling ('harbour' appears twice).
 * I am writing in US spelling, as appropriate to the subject; I can normally manage this, having worked in the US for 6 years, but some words just stick. Fixed.  Johantheghost 10:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The thing that will stick out for many international readers is the repeated use of the US administration's term 'Operation Iraq Freedom'. It may be an official term, so to speak, but many people will see it as spin. In view of the emotive issues surrounding the invasion of Iraq, I suggest that you change the term to something more neutral, such as 'the second Iraq war'.
 * Since 'Operation Iraq Freedom' now redirects to 'Iraq War' (I don't think it used to ...?), I've changed references to say Iraq War. Johantheghost 10:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Please consider removing acronyms that are not used more than twice or three times; they're not useful enough when repeated only once or twice, and make the reading more difficult. I've removed a couple already. Tony 02:57, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks — are there any left that are still a problem? Note that "ASROC" is the common name for that system, and "SSC San Diego" is similar.  — Johantheghost 10:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I've taken the opportunity to revise the language a bit. A few commas too many in some sentences, I think. I re-worded the second lead para to re-introduce the link between the secrecy and the speculation, specifically. Also took out "sonar communication" -- sonar is not communication. Everyone please let me know what you think. Thanks to everyone who contributed to improving the article during my enforced absence. (In case you're wondering, the phones on my road have been down for 5 days, hence no net access... and still down! Blame BT.) — Johantheghost 10:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

US Sambenedettese

A.S. Sambenedettese S.r.l. is an Italian association football club, based in San Benedetto del Tronto, Marche. Sambenedettese currently plays in Serie D.

Foundation
The club was founded in 1923 as U.S. Sambenedettese.

In 1956, the club was first promoted to Serie B, a division where they spent a total of 21 seasons (the last time of which was in 1989). In the 1980s, they also had a young Walter Zenga as a goalkeeper in their stint in the Italian second division.

In 1994, the club went bankrupt and was successively forced to restart from Eccellenza. In 2000, the club was acquired by Luciano Gaucci and eventually won promotion back to professionalism in 2001 and then to Serie C1 just a year later.

In 2009, the club was forced to restart again from Eccellenza, this time as U.S. Sambenedettese 1923.

In 2012–13 season, Sambenedettese won Group F of Serie D, but it was not promoted to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione as it was excluded by Federal Council's decision for incomplete documentation of submission to the league. The company behind the club also changed the name to U.S. Sambenedettese 1923 S.r.l. at that time. Refounded as A.S.D. Sambenedettese Calcio, the club restarted from Eccellenza Marche and promptly won promotion to Serie D. On 4 August 2015, Franco Fedeli acquired the then-Serie D club, and in 2016 Sambenedettese were promoted back to Lega Pro as the Group F winner of 2015–16 Serie D. The club was known as S.S.D. Sambenedettese ARL at that time. At the start of 2016–17 season the company behind the club changed the name to S.S. Sambenedettese S.r.l. (P.IVA 02177180441), but marketing as S.S. Sambenedettese Calcio. In 2020, the club was sold by Franco Fedeli to Italian-Argentine entrepreneur and Bangor City F.C. owner Domenico Serafino. However, less than a year later, after Serafino failed to comply with several financial requirements, the club was declared bankrupt.

The club's naming rights were then acquired by entrepreneur Roberto Renzi and was refounded as A.S. Sambenedettese. After repaying all debts, the newly reformed club was formally accepted by the Italian Football Federation, this way maintaining their spot in the Serie C league. The club was however excluded from Serie C due to financial irregularities and successively admitted to Serie D following a successful appeal and the payment of a league membership fee.

In 2023, Sambenedettese were also excluded from Serie D, and the club's naming rights were assigned to fellow Serie D club Porto d'Ascoli, who restarted under the new denomination of U.S. Sambenedettese.

Colors and badge
The team's colors are red and blue.

Rivalries
The main rivalry is with Ascoli. They are in the same province – Province of Ascoli Piceno.

Honours

 * Coppa Italia Serie C
 * Winners: 1991–92

Capitalisation in card games
Hi Krychek, thank you for your edits on Wikipedia. Please be aware that it is not incorrect to capitalise card names when describing card games. The sources divide almost equally into those that use capitals e.g. Ace, Jack, Five and those that don't e.g. ace, jack, five. Most American sources use lower case and most non-American sources use capitals. So we should prefer neither over the other and I'd be grateful if you'd revert your edits at Twenty-One and any other card game articles. Cheers. Bermicourt (talk) 07:42, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't see anything in WP:MOS to indicate that individual playing cards are an exception to the guideline that game equipment should not be capitalized. If you can get that added to the MoS, I'd be happy to revert my edits. As it stands, I find this a very clear case of overcapitalization. Krychek (talk) 16:33, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * MOS is a great tool but it is no more than top level style guide of a tertiary-level source. It cannot claim to have primacy over primary and secondary sources nor does it cover every eventuality in every topic area. This is an area that hasn't been addressed before and our style should be informed and guided by the relevant reliable primary and secondary sources. I'm happy to summarise my research and give some examples if that helps. So I'd still be grateful if you'd revert your edit. Thanks. Bermicourt (talk) 16:48, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I know you have no reason to believe me, but I'm actually the editor of several prominent bridge writers -- two of them British. I have read texts on bridge and many other card games. So I feel my own research is at least as relevant as yours. While I do not doubt that there are numerous examples of overcapitalized terms in the genre, that doesn't make it correct, and it absolutely goes against the general WP advice against capitalizing non-proper nouns. This is similar to the former practice of some WP writers to capitalize animal species. They always claimed that some source or other did it, so it must be OK. But it was decided that while those sources are experts on their subject matter, they are not experts on grammar or style, and it became the official WP position that we should leave species names lowercase. For further reading on this topic, I suggest you look at the essay on specialized style fallacy. Krychek (talk) 18:24, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Please don't patronise me. I am also a researcher and author in this field. If you study a wide range of sources, you will find that they use both forms in roughly equal measure. However, there are trends. Single game books tend to use lower case and there is a general American trend for lower case informality which permeates card game books too. Neither are wrong, but nor are they universal. So what some see as "over" capitalization, others clearly see as perfectly acceptable. No need to respond; we're not going to agree on this one.

Even though the nightingale in the fairy tale is owned by an emperor, the English title is just The Nightingale (a direct translation of the Danish title Nattergalen), not The Emperor's Nightingale, as evidenced by these Google searches: Therefore, I moved the content of the page The Emperor's Nightingale to the page The Nightingale, turned the former into a redirect page, changed the links on other pages accordingly and did a similar thing on Wikisource.

IMDb lists a 1949 Czech stop-motion puppet animation of this fairy tale by the title of Cisaruv slavík. The title of the U.S. version, narrated by Boris Karloff, was The Emperor's Nightingale. It is not to be confused with the better-known Andersen tale The Emperor's New Clothes.

 * I didn't really stop to think about it I guess. In Dutch (I'm from Belgium) the fairy tale is known as The Chinese Nightingale. Before I added the link in List of fairy tales I double checked if the entry was already in Wikipedia, and it was under the name of The Emperor's Nightingale. I might type out synopsis and stuff later on, but I've still got a host of other fairy tales to work on :) --Steerpike 19:26, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

---I rewrote the synopsis a bit. This included removing the 'moral' at the end about the Emperor learning about the importance of nature - This may be one point of the story, but it doesn't actually say so in the story itself. I also removed the original Danish text from the synopsis. It may be a good idea to show an excerpt to give a sense of the original wording, but it seemed rather long for a synopsis - Perhaps someone could put it into a category called 'excerpt' or some such.

---There's a Max Ernst collage called "The Chinese Nightingale". It's a bomb with female/bird features- I think it was based on this story. You might want to see about linking it

The Nightingale: A Conversation Poem
The Nightingale: A Conversation Poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a far more notable work than Anderson's story, as it is independent and has been written about by critics and scholars for longer. I think we might need a disambiguation page for these. Ottava Rima (talk) 02:13, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
