Arthur Murch

 *  Not to be confused with the 19th-century illustrator Arthur Murch (illustrator).

Arthur James Murch (8 July 1902, Croydon (Sydney) – 3 September 1989, Avalon (Sydney)) was an Australian artist who won the Archibald Prize in 1949 with a portrait of Bonar Dunlop. Dunlop was a New Zealand artist sculptor and illustrator.

Biography
Antonio Dattilo-Rubbo introduced him to the French Post-Impressionists, Cézanne and Seurat. His style later became more Cubist. In 1924, he studied with Rayner Hoff at East Sydney Technical College.

Murch spent time training in London at the Chelsea Polytechnic and at Académie Julian, Paris and visiting Italy after winning the 1925 Society of Artists' Scholarship.

From 1927 to 1930 he worked with artist George Lambert, assisting him with sculptural commissions.

In 1933, he formed part of an Australian expedition into central Australia to Hermannsberg. He later shared his experiences in The Home magazine. In 1936, he exhibited works at the Macquarie Galleries, created after his second "Centralian" expedition, showing landscapes and portraits of the Pentupui indigenous community. In 1937 Murch became a foundation member of, and exhibited with, Robert Menzies' anti-modernist organisation, the Australian Academy of Art. Ironically, Much's painting style displays strong art deco leanings.

He was appointed as an official war artist for six months during the Second World War covering the American and Australia military activities in Australia — 47 works of his are in the Australian War Memorial's collection.

Murch wrote occasionally on art subjects for The Home magazine.

Talk:General Zahl

Untitled
General Zahl and General Immortus are different guys, at least in the comics.--TheronJ 00:32, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

In the Brotherhood of Evil?
When was Zahl in the Brotherhood of Evil? His first appearance was in the last issue of the original Doom Patrol run, wherein he and ex-BOEer Madame Rouge killed (or seemed to kill) its then last two members and the DP itself, while his next was the arc in New Teen Titans that ended with he and Rouge paying the ultimate price for those crimes. No indication here of any subsequent usage of the character whatsoever, so where does that come from? Was there a throwaway line to that effect in DP #121? Ted Watson (talk) 21:46, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I'd say a year is long enough. I just took him off the BOE's membership list at its own article, and I'm going to remove it from his Affiliation list here. Besides, it has now occurred to me that it is probably a hangover from a misidentification of him as an alias of General Immortus over there, long since corrected otherwise. --Ted Watson (talk) 20:23, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Na'akueto La'ab

Na'akueto La'ab was King of Zagwe dynasty. According to Taddesse Tamrat, he was the son of Kedus Harbe. Richard Pankhurst credits him with the creation of the church located in a cave a half-day's journey from the town of Lalibela. According to a manuscript Pedro Páez and Manuel de Almeida saw at Axum, Na'akueto La'ab ruled for 40 years, a suspiciously round number.

Reign
A Gadla or hagiography of Na'akueto La'ab exists, in a manuscript written in the 17th century. According to Huntingford, it documents that Zagwe power had extended into Gojjam, and credits the king with building two churches: one at Sewa'a "which is said to have been called Wagra Sehin ('mountain of incense') 'among Celestrial', and Ashetan or Asheten 'among Terrestrials'", which Huntingford identifies with an existing church named Ashetan Maryam, a monolithic structure located a few kilometers east of Lalibela; the other in the land of Qoqhena, which was given a tabot from a desecrated church dedicated to Istifanos.

Tradition states that queen Masqal Kibra convinced her husband, King Lalibela, to abdicate in favor of Na'akueto La'ab, but 18 months later when the young king's soldiers appropriated a poor farmer's only cow for the king's dinner table, she convinced Lalibela to resume the throne. Taddesse Tamrat suspects that the end of Lalibela's rule was not in truth this peaceful. He argues that this tradition masks a brief period when Na'akueto La'ab "was no doubt a rallying point for disaffected elements in the country, and although kept under close watch managed to usurp the throne for a brief period until Yetbarak managed to take his father's throne."

Democratic Party (United States)
I've been working on this article a lot, and I feel it is ready for nomination. It has been through a peer review, which you can view here. --Revolución (talk) 00:24, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Minor note... I don't see any mention to the current house minority leader or the senate minority leader. --AllyUnion (talk) 04:07, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Object—needs lots of work to bring it up to standard; good topic for a FAC, so get someone else to help. Let's have a look at just the lead, as an example of what needs to be done throughout.
 * 'The party is currently the minority party in the U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, and among state governors.' Since the governors don't vote as a block, it's misleading to list them with two chambers in connection with 'minority party'.
 * 19:21 is hardly 'trailing'.
 * What are 'divided legislatures'?
 * 'much of the rest of the world'—remove the three redundant words.
 * 'over the course of' implies throughout the 20th century; shouldn't this be narrowed down?
 * 'In a way, one could say the parties'—bit clumsy and informal.
 * 'anymore'—let the dictionary know of this new word.
 * 'the political center' at the end of the lead—some readers will be confused as to whether this is a move to the left or the right. Tony 04:15, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I really don't know what "divided legislatures" is supposed to mean either. --Revolución (talk) 04:47, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay, somebody explained what divided legislatures were. --Revolución (talk) 02:57, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Object: The image Image:ClintonRecent.jpg has got to go -- there are about a bajillion public-domain photos of the guy out there, so there's no reason to use anything less free. --Carnildo 05:45, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Fixed. --Revolución (talk) 15:25, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Object I do have a bit of a problem with the "Factions of the Democratic Party" section because it still is more of a list than actual prose. And I still think the history is too long that it should be split into a new page called History of the United States Democratic Party. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 18:48, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Well it would be hard to turn it into prose, but I'll try and see what I can do. --Revolución (talk) 19:50, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Object, for now: On a quick skim, I counted four different foundation dates: 1792 in the intro, 1793 in the infobox, 1794 in the History: Origins section, and 1828 in the infobox and the history section. Of these, only the latter is explained. This does not bode well for the article's credibility. J.K. 00:39, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I researched a bit and the official DNC site says "Thomas Jefferson founded the Democratic Party in 1792 as a congressional caucus to fight for the Bill of Rights and against the elitist Federalist Party." So I'm going with 1792. --Revolución (talk) 02:51, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. The article is good overall but Factions needs to be redone into prose, and there are a lot of two sentence paragraphs under Issue positions. I'm not sure how you would go about combining them, but it breaks up the flow right now. Falphin 01:52, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. Quite a number of grammatical problems, like "others were made active by the candidacy of Howard Dean" and "More than any other faction, conservative Democrats have lost office or retired in the Congress." The introductions to several sections (such as the one preceding Factions) should be at least a paragraph long. Use &mdash (—), not "-". It would be appropriate to define "liberals" and "conservatives" better, as the rest of the world often has differing interpretations of these words. A lot of other America-centric phrases like "states' rights" ought to be explained briefly. Some sub-sections like Budget are a bit short. Oh, and why are there two sections titled Factions? Rename one of them, please. The Organization section is also a bit short; I'd expected at least three or four paragraphs. No section titles should be wiki-linked. The Notes section should stand on its own, and not be a mere sub-section. The History section is quite heavy on the 20th century's side, and a bit long; I'd recommend breaking it off into a separate article. Johnleemk | Talk 14:40, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Note that the following comment was made six months after this FAC had failed. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 18:45, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

'''just leave this here. It is perfectly valid criticism''' thewolfstar 09:13, 7 May 2006 (UTC) I am suggesting why this article did not get Featured Article status, and I am disputing the neutrality of this article because:
 * It makes subtle suggestions through the use of language.

 * It's implications contradict fact. (Thomas Jefferson's writings will show clearly that his ideas and what he fought for in this country are not represented well in either of the two major political parties of this country, though they both make claims, in one way or another, that their philosophies are concurrent with Jefferson's.)

political parties in the world." Whether the Democratic Party can trace its roots to Thomas Jefferson's party is disputable and noted in the article itself: "The Democratic Party traces its origins to the Democratic-Republican Party founded by Thomas Jefferson in 1792, although some scholars date the party's beginnings to the late 1820s, when Democratic-Republicans Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren built a new party along with ex-Federalists." Furthermore, this is the first statement made under the heading: Beginnings, Jacksonian Democracy, and Manifest Destiny: 1792-1854, an historical section of the article. Indeed, it is the first attempt to trace the roots of the Democratic Party, of any kind, actually done in the article, at all.
 * It contradicts itself. While it first states that "The party traces its beginnings to Thomas Jefferson in the early 1790s" which can be interpreted as neutral, in the same sentence, it then blatantly claims as fact that the Democratic Party "is one of the oldest, if not the oldest,

Tonarigumi

The Neighborhood Association (隣組) was the smallest unit of the national mobilization program established by the Japanese government in World War II. It consisted of units consisting of 10-15 households organized for fire fighting, civil defense and internal security.

History and development
Neighborhood mutual-aid associations existed in Japan since before the Edo period. The system was formalized on 11 September 1940 by order of the Home Ministry (Japan) under Imperial Rule Assistance Association by the cabinet of Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe. Participation was mandatory. Each unit was responsible for allocating rationed goods, distributing government bonds, fire fighting, public health, and civil defense. Each unit was also responsible for assisting the National Spiritual Mobilization Movement by distribution of government propaganda and organizing participation in patriotic rallies.

The government also found the tonarigumi useful for the maintenance of public security. A network of informants was established linking every neighborhood association with the Tokkō Police to watch for infractions of national laws and suspect political or moral behavior.

Tonarigumi were also organized in territories occupied by Japan for the same purposes, including Manchukuo, Mengjiang, the Wang Jingwei Government, and later in occupied territories of Southeast Asia (such as the Indonesian RT/RW system ).

Later in the Pacific War the tonarigumi received basic military training to serve as observers for enemy planes over cities or suspicious boats along the coasts. In the final stages of war the Imperial government intended the tonarigumi to form a secondary militia in the case of enemy invasion. Some tonarigumi took part in combat in Manchukuo, northern Chōsen and Karafuto in the closing days of the Pacific War.

Formally abolished in 1947 by the American occupation authorities, the system survives to a certain extent in the modern chonaikai, or jichikai which are nominally independent voluntary associations, but which retain a quasi-governmental status in that they have limited responsibility for local administration and coordination of activities such as neighborhood watch and disaster relief.

Henry Hanke

Henry Aloysius Hanke (14 June 1901 – 29 September 1989) was born in Sydney in 1901. He was an Australian painter and teacher, who won the Archibald Prize in 1934 with a self-portrait, and the inaugural Sulman Prize in 1936 with his painting 'La Gitana'.

Hanke served in the Army during World War II from November 1942, initially as a Signaller and later commissioned as an Officer and war artist from December 1943, during which he completed many paintings in New Guinea. He was the first war artist into Milne Bay after the Australians inflicted the first defeat on Japanese troops during World War II. Hanke was later made a director of the Royal Art Society art school.

Hanke was a friend of Sydney artists Graeme Inson and Ivy Shore, and often visited them. Hanke was one of the five artists Ivy Shore (winner of the Portia Geach Memorial Art Award in 1979) called her "Inspirations". Ivy Shore's painting of these five artists, titled "Inspirations", now hangs in the Dundee Arms Hotel in Sussex Street, Sydney, which was Graeme Inson and Ivy Shore's studio in the 1970s and 1980s.

His daughter Sonya became a pianist and music educator.

Society Hill

Society Hill is a historic neighborhood in Center City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, with a population of 6,215. Settled in the early 1680s, Society Hill is one of the oldest residential neighborhoods in Philadelphia. After urban decay developed between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, an urban renewal program began in the 1950s, restoring the area and its many historic buildings. Society Hill has since become one of the most expensive neighborhoods with the highest average income and second-highest real estate values in Philadelphia. Society Hill's historic colonial architecture, along with planning and restoration efforts, led the American Planning Association to designate it,, as one of the great American neighborhoods and a good example of sustainable urban living.

The neighborhood hosts one of the largest concentrations of original 18th- and early 19th-century buildings in the United States. Society Hill is noted for its Franklin street lamps, brick sidewalks, cobblestone and Belgian block streets bordered by two- to four-story brick rowhouses in Federal and Georgian architecture, and public buildings in Greek Revival architecture such as the Merchants' Exchange Building and the Old Pine Street Church.

Etymology
Society Hill is named after the 17th-century Free Society of Traders, which had its offices at Front Street on the hill above Dock Creek. The Free Society of Traders was a company of elite merchants, landowners, and personal associates of William Penn who were granted special concessions in order to direct the economy of the young colony. Society Hill was initially known as the Dock Ward, an appropriate designation until the post-World War II period when the shipping industry declined and relocated. The Dock Ward, first defined in 1705, was one of the ten original wards that the city used to subdivide land east of 7th Street. As part of the 1854 Act of Consolidation, the Dock Ward was renamed the 5th Ward. The wards were realigned in 1965 and the boundaries of the 5th Ward no longer correspond to Society Hill's boundaries.

Geography
The land area of Society Hill is approximately 0.254 sqmi. Bordering the Delaware River just south of Old City and Independence Hall, Society Hill is loosely defined as bounded by Walnut, Lombard, Front and 8th Streets. The Society Hill Civic Association further subdivides Society Hill along Spruce Street and 4th Street into quadrants by intercardinal directions: northeast (NE), southeast (SE), southwest (SW), and northwest (NW). Across different sources, variation in the exact border includes extending the eastern boundary to the Delaware River, the southern border to South Street, the northern border to Chestnut Street, or limiting the western border to 7th Street.

History
With prime access to the Delaware River and Philadelphia's civic buildings, including Independence Hall, the neighborhood quickly became one of the most populous areas in colonial Philadelphia. Several market halls, taverns and churches were built alongside brick houses of Philadelphia's affluent citizens.

After the Revolutionary War, the polluted Dock Creek—which had been used as a public sewer—became Dock Street when the city filled in the creek and created a new food distribution market. Though the streets of Philadelphia were carefully laid out in a grid, the new Dock Street's arc connecting Chestnut and Spruce Streets between 2nd and 3rd, owes its uncharacteristic shape to the path of the former creek as it ran to the river.

In the 19th century, the city expanded westward and the area lost its appeal. Houses deteriorated, and by the 1940s, Society Hill had become a slum neighborhood, one of the worst in the city.

In the 1950s, the city, state and federal governments began one of the first urban renewal programs aimed at the preservation of historic buildings. While most commercial 19th-century buildings were demolished, historically-significant houses were restored by occupants or taken over by the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority and sold to individuals who agreed to restore the exteriors. Replicas of 18th-century street lights and brick sidewalks were added to enhance the colonial atmosphere. Empty lots and demolished buildings were replaced with parks, walkways, and modern townhouses.

From 1957–1959, the Greater Philadelphia Movement, the Redevelopment Authority and the Old Philadelphia Development Corporation bought 31 acre around Dock Street. They demolished and relocated the Dock Street market, setting aside 5 acre of land that would become the Society Hill Towers. In 1957, Edmund Bacon, the executive director of the Philadelphia City Planning Commission, awarded developer-architect firm Webb and Knapp the competition for the redevelopment of Society Hill. Architect I. M. Pei and his team designed a plan for three 31-story Society Hill Towers and low-rise buildings. The Towers and townhouses project was completed in 1964, while the entire plan was completed in 1977. Architect Louis Sauer designed dozens of rowhouse projects for the area around Society Hill, including Waverly Court and Penn's Landing Square.

Historic buildings in Society Hill include the Society Hill Synagogue, built in 1829 as a Baptist church by Philadelphia architect Thomas Ustick Walter, one of the architects of the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. The synagogue was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. Another notable building is St. Peter's Church, constructed between 1758 and 1761 by Robert Smith. Congregation Kesher Israel occupies and has renovated the building constructed by the Universalist Church in 1796 at 412 Lombard Street.

The Society Hill Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. In 1999, it was listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places.

Demographics
As of the 2010 United States Census, there were 6,215 people residing in Society Hill, which accounts for 0.4% of Philadelphia's total population. With 22,281 people per square mile, Society Hill's population density is about twice that of Philadelphia's 11,497 people per square mile.

Primary and secondary schools
Residents of all neighborhoods in Philadelphia are assigned to specific public schools by the School District of Philadelphia. Society Hill residents are zoned to the General George A. McCall School, located at 325 S. 7th Street, for kindergarten through eighth grade, and all persons zoned to McCall are assigned to Benjamin Franklin High School. Previously Furness High School was the zoned high school for Society Hill.

The McCall School serves Society Hill and the Chinatown areas. A construction contract for the McCall school building was awarded on October 26, 1909 and the official opening occurred in February 1911. Russell Scott Smith of Edutopia wrote that in 2004, compared with other schools in Philadelphia, "McCall already had a fairly good reputation for academic rigor and safety" and that by 2009 it had improved even more. In 2012 Kristen A. Graham of The Philadelphia Inquirer stated that McCall was one of "the district's stronger neighborhood schools".

St. Peter's School, located on Lombard Street between 3rd and 4th, is an independent, coeducational, non-sectarian day school, serving students in preschool (age 3) through eighth grade. The school was founded in 1834.

The designated parochial grade school of Old St. Mary's Church and Old St. Joseph's Church, of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia, is St. Mary Interparochial Grade School.

Libraries
The Free Library of Philadelphia operates the Independence Branch at 18 South 7th Street. The Athenaem is a private library and museum with collections including architecture and interior design history, particularly for the period from 1800 to 1945.

Historic congregations
Society Hill's many historically significant congregations reflect the fruition of William Penn's Quaker maxim of religious toleration.
 * Old St. Joseph's Church (1733)
 * St. Peter's Church (1761)
 * Old St. Mary's Church (1763)
 * Old Pine Street Church (1768)
 * Holy Trinity Church (1784)
 * Mother Bethel A.M.E. Church (1794)
 * Society Hill Synagogue (since 1967; First Baptist from 1829–1909; Roumanian-American Hebrew Congregation from 1910-1966)

Transportation
Society Hill is accessible via several forms of public transportation.

Rapid Transit
The Market–Frankford subway line stops at 2nd Street and 5th Street, which are two blocks north of Society Hill's Walnut Street boundary.

The PATCO Speedline, a rapid transit system connecting Philadelphia and southern New Jersey stops at 8th and Market Street station, two blocks north of Society Hill, and at the 9th and Locust Street station, which is one block west of Society Hill's 8th Street boundary.

The SEPTA 9 and 21 buses run westbound along Walnut Street. The 12 and 42 run westbound along parts of Spruce and Walnut Streets. The 12 also runs eastbound along Pine Street. The 47 runs northbound along 7th Street and southbound along 8th Street. The 57 runs northbound along 3rd Street and southbound along 4th Street.

Bikeshare
Since 2009, as part of a crosstown buffered bike lane pilot project, bike lanes were installed that run eastbound along Pine Street and westbound along Spruce Street. Society Hill is served by Indego bike-share stations at 9th and Locust Streets, 4th and Walnut Streets, Dock and Front Streets, 2nd and Lombard Streets, and 6th and Locust Streets.

Greenways
Society Hill contains pathways that connect the residential neighborhood with historic areas to the north. These paths are known as greenways and were designed specifically for pedestrian travel to minimize interaction with automobile traffic. The landscaped greenways were conceived by Edmund Bacon, who hired John Collins of Adleman, Collins & DuTot to design small-scale greenway parks and pedestrian connections woven mid-block between buildings. St. Joseph's Way, St. Peter's Way, and Lawrence Court Walk are greenways that connect community places including St. Peter's, Old Pine, Three Bears Park, and Bingham Court. The greenways feature public art and are designed to create a neighborhood that is walkable, rather than a disjointed collection of historic buildings.

I am at present accumulating and writing material for an upcoming book on the life and work of my grandfather, Rene' Paul Chambellan. Through the assistance of family members and new found friends (one from the Wikipedia community) I expect to have not only a book ready by next year but a complete web site that will act as a resource for any and all who wish to discover the work of this remarkable artist. If you have stumbled upon this page and wish to contribute information, photos or encouragement pelase do so. I will be very grateful as this is a monumental undertaking. My grandfather was a prolific sculptor and until I began this sojourn, I had no idea how prolific he actually was. Works that can be credited to him through his Art Deco sculptures and decorations on a wide range (and widely located) buildings throughout the United States is astounding. Add to this the numerous medals, awards and private sculptures he produced and you get the idea. Many thanks to Wikipedia and its members and founders, without whom I would not have met a very special friend who shared a keen interest in the work of Rene Chambellan and has helped me through information and gentle prodding and encouragement to get this work accomplished. You can contact me at: bob.perrone1@verizon.net

Volunteer Fighting Corps

Volunteer Fighting Corps (国民義勇戦闘隊) were armed civil defense units planned in 1945 in the Empire of Japan as a last desperate measure to defend the Japanese home islands against the projected Allied invasion during Operation Downfall (Ketsugo Sakusen) in the final stages of World War II.

They were the Japanese equivalent of the German Volkssturm and British Home Guard. Its commander-in-chief was former Prime Minister General Kuniaki Koiso.

Volunteer Corps
In March 1945, the cabinet of Japanese Prime Minister Kuniaki Koiso passed a law establishing the creation of unarmed civil defense units, Volunteer Corps (国民義勇隊). With the assistance of the Taisei Yokusankai political party, the tonarigumi and Great Japan Youth Party, units were created by June 1945.

The Kokumin Giyūtai was not combatant, but working unit for fire service, food production, and evacuation. All male civilians between the ages of 12 and 65 years, and females between 12 and 45 years were members. They received training on fire fighting techniques and elementary first aid.

Reformation as militia
In April 1945, the Japanese cabinet resolved on reforming Kokumin Giyūtai into civilian militia. In June, the cabinet passed a special conscription law, and named the militia units Volunteer Fighting Corps (国民義勇戦闘隊).

The Kokumin Giyū Sentōtai would be organized, if Allied landing units came close to the Japanese homeland. Governors of Prefectures could conscript all male civilians between the ages of 15 and 60 years, and unmarried females of 17 to 40 years. Commanders were appointed from retired military personnel and civilians with weapons experience.

Combat training sessions were held, although the corps was primarily assigned to support tasks, such as construction, transportation and rationing.

The Volunteer Fighting Corps was intended as main reserve along with a "second defense line" for Japanese forces to sustain a war of attrition against invading forces. After the Allied invasion, these forces were intended to form resistance or guerilla warfare cells in cities, towns, or mountains.

Strength
Some 28 million men and women were considered "combat capable" by the end of June 1945, yet only about 2 million of them had been recruited by the time the war ended, and most of them did not experience combat due to Japan's surrender before the Allied invasion of the Japanese home islands. The Battle of Okinawa took place before the formation of Volunteer Fighting Corps. At this stage of the war, the lack of modern weaponry and ammunition meant that most were armed with swords or even bamboo spears.

Within Japan proper, the Volunteer Fighting Corps were never used in combat, except in South Sakhalin (the Battle of Okinawa occurred before its formal inception, with local Boeitai home guard conscripts forming part of the defences there). Similar units organized in Japanese territories outside of the Home Islands were used in battle. The units in Korea, Kwangtung, and Manchukuo sustained heavy casualties in combat against the Soviet Union during the Soviet invasion of Manchuria during the last days of World War II.

The Kokumin Giyūtai was abolished by order of the American occupation forces after the surrender of Japan.

Equipment
Volunteer Fighting Corps units were theoretically armed with weapons including:
 * Type 94 8 mm Pistol
 * Type 99 Rifle
 * Type 30 rifle
 * Type 38 rifle
 * Type 44 Cavalry Rifle
 * Type 5 Anti-aircraft gun
 * Type 4 20 cm Rocket Launcher
 * Type 10 Grenade Discharger
 * Type 89 Grenade Discharger
 * Ceramic hand grenades
 * Lunge AT Mine (anti-tank mine on bamboo pole)

However, in many cases improvised weapons were the only available ones:
 * Molotov cocktails
 * Simple pointed bamboo or wood sticks
 * Swords, bayonets, knives and even pole weapons & staff weapons (e.g. Guntō, Type 30 bayonet, Hori hori, Kamayari/Naginata & Hanbō/Jō)
 * Clubs and truncheons such as the Kanabō or even simpler
 * Antiquated firearms (e.g. Murata rifle)
 * Type 4 grenades were in plentiful enough supply due to their ease of manufacture.

Ernest Buckmaster

Ernest William Buckmaster (1897–1968) was an Australian artist born in Victoria. He won the Archibald Prize in 1932 with a portrait of Sir William Irvine. He also served as an Australian war artist during World War II.

Although an accomplished painter of portraits and still life subjects, he is best known for his landscapes; a follower of the Heidelberg School. Those he generally painted en plein air rather than from photographs.

Early life
Buckmaster was born in the Melbourne suburb of Hawthorn on 3 July 1897. He was the first son of five boys and three girls of Harry Amos Buckmaster (d. 26 June 1938), straw-hat manufacturer, and his wife Letitia Martha née Chandler (c. 1873–19 October 1953). He attended a state primary school at Box Hill where he showed drawing skills at an early age.

His life was challenged on enough occasions, having nearly drowned as a child, attacked by a cow, chased by a bull, almost fell from a roof, and motor vehicle incidents.

Leaving school at 14 he first started employment as a messenger boy. Buckmaster was apprenticed to a signwriter in 1913. His poor physique made him unsuitable for service in World War I. His employer, an amateur painter, suggested he undertake art training.

Career

Buckmaster studied at the National Gallery School in Melbourne from 1918 to 1924. There his teachers included Lindsay Bernard Hall and W. B. McInnes. He emerged as an accomplished painter of traditional portraits, still lifes and landscapes with a substantial work-rate and output. Large commissioned oil paintings work took longer; although known as a rapid painter, for sittings, for a head, two hours to two weeks, a three-quarter portrait on average, 15 to 20 hours.

His first solo exhibition took place at the Athenaeum Gallery in Melbourne in February 1926. His financial position was such that he had to ask the framer to prepare them for hanging on credit. The paintings sold well, with one bought by the director of the National Gallery of Victoria for its collection.

His work is popular in Australia and New Zealand where public art galleries and private collectors hold examples of his paintings. Buckmaster disliked modern art, criticising it in his book and in letters to newspapers, saying 'This kind of art must not be seen, it seems, in case young students are tempted to try it themselves'. A member of the Victorian Artists Society, he sold nineteen paintings exhibited with them between 1919 and 1924. He continued to be associated with the VAS as a councillor (1929–30) and exhibitor (till 1943); Buckmaster resigned at one stage from VAS, a difference of judgements and values of art juries. In 1930 he left Australia on a year-long study tour to Europe. He visited Europe again in 1938.

His portrait of the lieutenant-governor of Victoria, Sir William Irvine, won the Archibald Prize for 1932. The prize was worth £528 (equivalent to A$57,770 in 2022). His Archibald prize-winning portrait took fourteen sittings with the subject before it was finished, about 15 hours. Buckmaster had been a competitor for the Prize several times previous, including a self-portrait submitted for 1927.

The following year he held solo exhibits in Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide. He was a foundation member of the Australian Academy of Art. In 1936 he was commissioned to paint a portrait of Sir James Mitchell, the lieutenant-governor of Western Australia and his portrait of Miss Jessica Harcourt, known as "Australia's loveliest girl" was a finalist in the 1936 Archibald Prize.

Standing 5ft 8.5in height and 10 st weight and now living at Bailey Road, Mount Evelyn with his second wife and three young children, Buckmaster became a Second World War official war artist for the Australian military's Military History Section. This took him directly to Singapore to paint the Japanese surrender. Fourteen days saw fourteen 34 x canvases. These paintings are held by the Australian War Memorial, Canberra.

Buckmaster made two extended trips to New Zealand in the 1940s and 1950s at the invitation of Henry Kelliher, Managing Director of Dominion Breweries in Auckland, who had seen Buckmaster's 1944 exhibition at the David Jones Gallery, Sydney. On the latter visit he wrote that he had driven 6000 mi throughout the country to paint landscapes.

Later life
Aged 38, Buckmaster married Dorothy Laura Cook on Wednesday 12 February 1936 at the chapel of the Methodist Ladies' College, Melbourne. Now living at Riddell Parade, Elsternwick, Melbourne, after two years, Buckmaster was divorced by his wife on Monday 14 November 1938 on the grounds of repeated acts of misconduct. They had no children. He then married Florence Botting in Melbourne in February 1939.

He died on Friday 18 October 1968 at his home at Warrandyte. He was survived by his wife Florence and their five children. His grave is in the Lilydale cemetery.

Recognition and legacies
Buckmaster's self-portrait, which was a finalist in the 1936 Archibald Prize, is in the Art Gallery of New South Wales. As well as the 1932 Archibald Prize he received the 1941 National Gallery of Victoria Award, and twice won the Albury Art Prize (in 1950 and 1963).

His portraits included etcher John Shirlow (1869–1936), in oil.

Buckmaster's autobiography So far: The art of Ernest Buckmaster was published in 1951.

Some of Buckmaster's work is on extended loan from his family to the 1883 Hotel Windsor in Melbourne.

One of his paintings sold for A$27,025 in 2003. The average price of 1,185 of his paintings recently sold at auction prior to May 2021 was A$5,147.

Manhigut Yehudit

Manhigut Yehudit (מנהיגות יהודית, "Jewish Leadership") is a movement started by Moshe Feiglin and Shmuel Sackett to lead the State of Israel with, in their words, "authentic Jewish values". This has been widely interpreted, both by Manhigut supporters and outside observers, as Orthodox Judaism, but without a 'Galut' (exile, Jewish diaspora) mentality. The movement opposes religious and secular coercion, and wants Jewish identity, as prescribed by the 'Tanakh' or Hebrew Bible, and authentic Jewish teachings to become Israel's official culture. In 2005, Manhigut Yehudit became the largest faction within the Likud Central Committee, the body that decides Likud Party policy. In 2014, however, Feiglin and the faction's other candidates, Michael Foy and Shai Malka, suffered a crushing defeat in the party primaries, resulting in Feiglin and his followers quitting Likud and announcing the intention to form a new party with the name Zehut - Tnua Yehudit Yisraelit (Identity - Israeli Jewish movement).

Background
The party applied to run in the 1999 elections as an independent party with the election symbol, but pulled out before election day. In the 2003 elections, Feiglin was refused permission to run on the Likud list by the Central Elections Committee as Israeli law that states that a person convicted of a crime of "moral turpitude" within the last seven years may not be elected to the Knesset (Feiglin was convicted of blocking Israeli roads in acts of civil disobedience to protest the Oslo Accords in the early 1990s as a co-leader of the Zo Artzeinu movement). Otherwise, he would have taken 38th place on Likud's list and been elected to the Knesset. There was considerable controversy regarding whether blocking roads in political protest could be considered "moral turpitude".

Manhigut Yehudit has received much media attention, and has been the subject of controversy: It has been criticized by the Israeli left and center for its close ties to the radical Israeli right of Religious Zionism. Conversely, the same radical right has characterized the Manhigut project as "naive" in thinking that it can re-shape Israeli politics by "infiltrating" the largely secular (and debatably, pragmatic) right-wing Likud party. Some critics also say that Manhigut diverts valuable resources and supporters that could otherwise be going into other right-wing organizations. Another complaint has been that the Israeli public is significantly more likely to vote for a secular right-Likud than a national-religious one.

Despite all this, Manhigut has a devoted following, both in Israel and abroad, many of whom see Feiglin's "moderate" and long-term approach to work within the parliamentary system (and specifically, to slowly and eventually gain control of the Likud as a powerful bloc) as refreshingly innovative, if not ingenious. They also praise the movement's commitment to Israeli democracy and non-violence (although some detractors note, ironically, that the ultimate goal of Manhigut seems to be to use democracy to replace Israeli law with Halakha).

Jewish philosophy
Moshe Feiglin has defined Jewishness as primarily being a culture and people, not merely a "religion", citing that the Torah refers to Jews as "Am Yisrael" or "The Nation of Israel". In an interview, Feiglin strongly criticized the "modern" tendency to view Judaism through the prism of "only" being a religion, going so far as to link the practice with one of the biggest villains in Jewish tradition, Haman:

 * ...But in fact, the concept "religious" is one taken from other cultures - mainly Christianity - and is totally unsuited to Jewish culture. The first person to use this concept was Haman the Wicked. '... and they do not observe the King's religion', Haman said to Ahashverosh, in order to justify his version of the Final Solution. Christianity, which separated religion from life, created the concept of religion in its Western connotation, with which we are familiar. But Judaism isn't a religion. Judaism is a culture, a nation, a country, the Torah. It is a complete way of life, an important part of which is the observance of Mitzvot."

Manhigut's mission statement, as expressed by co-founder Shmuel Sackett, is "Turning the state of the Jews into the Jewish State".  Its ultimate vision and goal is to, in the words of the daily Aleinu prayer, "perfect the world in the Kingdom of the Almighty". All of the organization's newsletters end with this statement.

Manhigut post-Kadima
Ariel Sharon's 2005 split from the Likud resulted in a power vacuum among the leadership of his former party. In December 2005, the top three favorites running for Likud Party Chairman were Binyamin Netanyahu and Silvan Shalom, with Moshe Feiglin running a distant third.

While Feiglin and his supporters remained optimistic about his chances of winning the position, in the last weeks before the primary, there were calls from both the center-right and the Religious Zionist movement for him to withdraw from the race. The present Yesha Council Chairman, Bentzi Lieberman, who endorsed Netanyahu, went so far as to characterize Feiglin's plan to co-opt the Likud as a "moral failure". In response, Feiglin compared his detractors with "a battered woman who covers the bruises on her face with make-up and keeps going back to her husband".

In mid-December, Netanyahu won the election for Chairman with 47% of the vote. Shalom came in second with 32%. Feiglin won 12.5% of the votes, up from 3% the first time he ran in 2003. Two years later, in 2007, he came in second behind Netanyahu, with 24% of the vote.

Many left-wing and centrist politicians, as well as some journalists, agreed with Feiglin's assessment, asserting that while he did not come close to winning, the comparatively large number of votes cast for him indicated a radical shift among Likud voters, which could possibly result in changing both its vision and image in the future. Several prominent Likud members also denounced Feiglin's gains as indicative of a serious problem in the party, although others attempted to de-emphasize Feiglin's influence within the Likud. Feiglin responded by accusing his Likud critics of "anti-Semitism".

 * With all due respect, I also think that there is a certain small element of anti-Semitism here. I have been in the Likud for eight years already, and I haven't seen any such demonization efforts directed at any other element. We are all loyal members of the Likud, and renew our membership every year. Let's put the cards on the table: I believe that if I didn't have a kippa and beard, this demonization would not exist, and it's about time to put an end to this nonsense.

Rise
Feiglin ran against Netanyahu in the 2012 Likud leadership election, held on January 31, 2012, and again received 23% of the vote, and went on to serve as deputy speaker in the 19th Knesset. However, the faction suffered a serious setback in the Likud primary of December 31, 2014, held in the run-up to the 2015 Knesset elections, when he fell to the 36th position on the Likud's electoral list, making it unlikely he would be returned to the Knesset, as the party only had 18 seats in the 19th Knesset, and its most optimistic goal is to win a maximum of 24 seats in the 20th Knesset. Feiglin and his followers quit Likud in the wake of the primary, announcing their intention to found a new party. He was unable to form a new party in time for the 2015 Israeli election in March.

Acheng, Harbin

Acheng District (Manchu Language: Alcuka Hoton) is one of nine districts of the prefecture-level city of Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China, covering part of the southeastern suburbs. The district was approved to establish from the former Acheng City (阿城市) by the Chinese State Council on August 15, 2006. , it had a population of 596,856 residing in an area of 2680 km2, and is 29 km southeast of downtown Harbin, 190 km north of Jilin City, and around 50 km south of the Songhua River. It lies within the basin of and until 1909 was considered synonymous with the Ashi River which gave its name to the Jurchen Jin Dynasty. The district administers nine subdistricts, eight towns, one township, and one ethnic township. It borders Daowai District to the north, Bin County to the northeast, Shangzhi to the southeast, and Wuchang to the south, Shuangcheng District to the west, and Pingfang and Xiangfang Districts to the northwest.

History
Acheng was known to medieval China as Huining Prefecture, an area of Shangjing. Its eponymous seat served as the first capital of the Jurchen Jin Dynasty (1122–1234) and served as a subsidiary capital from 1173 until their conquest by the Mongolian Empire. There is currently a museum at the site, about 2 km south of the Acheng urban area.

Acheng County was established in 1909. It was designated a county-level city in 1987 and turned into a district of Harbin on October 9, 2006.

Administrative divisions
Acheng is divided into fifteen subdistricts and four towns:

Subdistricts:
 * Jincheng Subdistrict (金城街道), Jindou Subdistrict (金都街道), Tongcheng Subdistrict (通城街道), Hedong Subdistrict (河东街道), Ashenhe Subdistrict (阿什河街道), Sheli Subdistrict (舍利街道), Xinli Subdistrict (新利街道), Shuangfeng Subdistrict (双丰街道), Yuquan Subdistrict (玉泉街道), Xiaoling Subdistrict (小岭街道), Yagou Subdistrict (亚沟街道), Jiaojie Subdistrict (交界街道), Liaodian Subdistrict (料甸街道), Feiketu Subdistrict (蜚克图街道), Yangshu Subdistrict (杨树街道)

Commerce
The area is rich in mineral resources, including sources of rock, volcanic rock, granite, molybdenum, zinc, lead, iron, and copper.

The agricultural strengths of the area are grain production and cattle. Grain production is strong, having produced 33,100 tons of grain in 2002; much of this grain is essential in feeding the important city of Harbin.

Acheng is a major industrial area for Heilongjiang, with over 300 types of enterprises, including textile, electromechanics, food, building materials (especially brickworks), metallurgy, breweries fueled by the local grain, sugar refineries, a flax plant, iron, steel, and the production of medicine. In 1996 a new technology industrial development zone was created on the western side of the city to encourage the development of high technology, export-oriented industry.

Tourism is also a growing part of the local economy. Acheng is located on the popular tourist route serving Harbin, the Yabuli Ski Resort, Jingpo Lake, and Xingkai Lake. A number of historic and nature reserves in the area also attract visitors.

Yetbarak

Yetbarak (Ge’ez: ይትባረክ) was King of Zagwe dynasty. According to Taddesse Tamrat, he was the son of Lalibela.

History
Tradition states that Yetbarak ascended to the throne after his father King Lalibela had taken the crown away from his first choice of successor, Yetbarak's cousin, Na'akueto La'ab. Taddesse Tamrat argues that this tradition is based on an official version of events, and theorizes that Na'akueto La'ab had fought with Yetbarak for the throne, and despite initial success, Yetbarak became king in the end.

He also suggests that Yetbarak was the same individual known in the "official hagiographical tradition" as Za-Ilmaknun, the king of the Zagwe dynasty whom Yekuno Amlak killed and succeeded after the Battle of Ansata. He notes that Za-Ilmaknun is translated as "The Unknown, the hidden one", an "esoteric term" that has "become a useful escape mechanism in denying that the king killed by Yekuno Amlak had anything to do with Lasta."

Congress petition
Your latest edit is good. There were a couple wording changes that looked OK in TTB's edit, but the whole facetious "rather lengthy" and the digression on Apache installations seemed irrelevant. I guess I was slightly lazy in just reverting it, but I'm glad you found an intermediary w/o the POV and digression parts.

BTW, welcome to WP. I think the Merkey stuff attracted you to register... but we would love to have your help editing the other 1 million articles hereabouts.

Let me be the first to say hello! Very shortly, someone from the Welcoming Committee will post here, but until then let me give you two hints. Welcome, and I edit but am not an administrator (a highly experienced and trusted editor with some special powers) or a sysop. Finally, you can visit my (or anyone else's) userpage by typing user:Simesa Simesa 00:46, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks much! I just created a user login yesterday...however before that, in the past month, I have made some significant edits to the Hurricane Katrina page and also other tropical meteorological topics such as the loop current, as an anonymous user. As time permits, I will continue to add current tropical weather information. To reflect the broad reader base of Wikipedia, I'll be providing the information in as non-technical a manner as possible. I'll probably be reviewing and updating existing entries as I can get to them. Mkieper 16:03, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi guys...sorry I have been OOC for so long, but Watching Wilma took up all my extra time. One of the most facinating storms ever, in one of the most facinating hurricane seasons ever (I think the hurricane season of 2005 probably deserves its own page). It is as if every Cat 5 that followed the first one, knew to raise the bar. Five times this season we have seen explosive deepening, starting with the "insane" rate of Dennis, and each time at a remarkable rate until Wilma, setting the new record that I think will take a long time to be surpassed, if ever. That first recon, that found the 901mb...some wild ride. We were all speechless at that jaw-dropping recon msg.

There are still five weeks left in the season. I am pretty certain we will see "Beta." I think my best plan is to wait until Jan, and then revisit everything and work on updating Wiki at that point. Can you spell hurricane burnout, LOL.Mkieper 17:50, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Dvorak technique
I wasn't sure why you had removed the link you put into the Dvorak technique until I ran into the same wiki problems it looks like you probably did. Apparently line breaks inside of a wiki-link break them. At any rate, it's back in now. TimL 21:50, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, there's not many Kieper's out there. Hi, sorry I am not here very often. I just came by tonight to find a reference to Summit Camp on the Greenland Glacier to answer a question from Steve G. Yes, Jeff asked me to start a blog this past summer, which, after a couple weeks, I realized would be the ideal place to write about Katrina. I read you guys all the time on s2k when reading about the WestPAC storms. I used to have an s2k login but for the life of me I can't remember what it was, so I never log in there anymore. The blog keeps me so busy now I had to abandon plans to try to spend time at Wiki. Which is a shame because I am the biggest researcher (curiosity, mainly -- I should have been a reporter).

Welcome!
Welcome to the Tropical cyclone Wikiproject! I'm glad you decided to join, as we can always use more members - whether you fix small mistakes, copyedit, or write featured articles, any help is great. As a member, you will receive information from the project on various aspects. First, here is a template form letter describing the ideal format for a tropical cyclone article.

Dear Tropical cyclone editor,

As a member of the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject, you are receiving this message to describe how you can better tropical cyclone articles. There are hundreds of tropical cyclone articles, though many of them are poorly organized and lacking in information. Using the existing featured articles as a guide line, here is the basic format for the ideal tropical cyclone article. Good luck with future writing, and if you have a question about the above, don't hesitate to ask.
 * 1) Infobox- Whenever possible, the infobox should have a picture for the tropical cyclone. The picture can be any uploaded picture about the storm, though ideally it should be a satellite shot of the system. If that is not available, damage pictures, either during the storm or after the storm, are suitable. In the area that says Formed, indicate the date on which the storm first developed into a tropical depression. In the area that says Dissipated, indicate the date on which the storm lost its tropical characteristics. This includes when the storm became extratropical, or if it dissipated. If the storm dissipated and reformed, include the original start date and the final end date. Highest winds should be the local unit of measurement for speed (mph in non-metric countries, km/h in metric countries), with the other unit in parenthesis. The lowest pressure should be in mbars. Damages should, when available, be in the year of impact, then the present year. The unit of currency can be at your discretion, though typically it should be in USD. Fatalities indicate direct deaths first, then indirect deaths. Areas affected should only be major areas of impact. Specific islands or cities should only be mentioned if majority of the cyclone's effects occurred there.
 * 2) Intro- The intro for every article should be, at a minimum, 2 paragraphs. For more impacting hurricanes, it should be 3. The first should describe the storm in general, including a link to the seasonal article, its number in the season, and other statistics. The second should include a brief storm history, while the third should be impact.
 * 3) Storm history- The storm history should be a decent length, relatively proportional to the longevity of the storm. Generally speaking, the first paragraph should be the origins of the storm, leading to the system reaching tropical storm status. The second should be the storm reaching its peak. The third should be post-peak until landfall and dissipation. This section is very flexable, depending on meteorological conditions, but it should generally be around 3. Storm histories can be longer than three paragraphs, though they should be less than five. Anything more becomes excessive. Remember, all storm impacts, preparations, and records can go elsewhere. Additional pictures are useful here. If the picture in the infobox is of the storm at its peak, use a landfall picture in the storm history. If the picture in the infobox is of the storm at its landfall, use the peak. If the landfall is its peak, use a secondary peak, or even a random point in the storm's history.
 * 4) Preparations- The preparations section can be any length, depending on the amount of preparations taken by people for the storm. Hurricane watches and warnings need to be mentioned here, as well as the number of people evacuated from the coast. Include numbers of shelters, and other info you can find on how people prepared for the storm.
 * 5) Impact- For landfalling storms, the impact section should be the majority of the article. First, if the storm caused deaths in multiple areas, a death table would work well in the top level impact section. A paragraph of the general effects of the storm is also needed. After the intro paragraph, impact should be broken up by each major area. It depends on the information, but sections should be at least one paragraph, if not more. In the major impact areas, the first paragraph should be devoted to meteorological statistics, including rainfall totals, peak wind gusts on land, storm surge, wave heights, beach erosion, and tornadoes. The second should be actual damage. Possible additional paragraphs could be detailed information on crop damage or specifics. Death and damage tolls should be at the end. Pictures are needed, as well. Ideally, there would be at least one picture for each sub-section in the impact, though this sometimes can't happen. For storms that impact the United States or United States territories, this site can be used for rainfall data, including an image of rainfall totals.
 * 6) Aftermath- The aftermath section should describe foreign aid, national aid, reconstruction, short-term and long-term environmental effects, and disease. Also, the storm's retirement information, whether it happened or not, should be mentioned here.
 * 7) Records- This is optional, but can't hurt to be included.
 * 8) Other- The ideal article should have inline sourcing, with the  formatting being preferable. Always double check your writing and make sure it makes sense.

Next is the latest edition of our monthly newsletter.

Number 10, March 4, 2007 The Hurricane Herald This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary, both of the activities of the WikiProject and global tropical cyclone activity. If you wish to change how you receive this newsletter, or no longer wish to receive it, please add your username to the appropriate section on the mailing list.

Storm of the month Cyclone Favio developed well to the east of northern Madagascar on February 12 and moved to the southwest as it developed. The storm did not significantly intensify until February 19 when it was just off the soutern coast of Madagascar, but rapidly intenstified soon after to its peak with 185 km/h (115 mph) winds. Favio turned to the northwest and hit Mozambique worsening the floods already occuring in the country. Favio claimed at least 4 lives and destroyed thousands of homes.

Other tropical cyclone activity There were a total of 6 tropical cyclones in the southern hemisphere during February. Five of these, including Favio, were in the South West Indian Ocean.
 * The only other storm in the Australian region was Cyclone Nelson which formed at the end of January in the Gulf of Carpentaria before it hit Queensland.
 * Cyclone Dora was active in January and reached its peak as an annular cyclone on February 3 with 185 km/h (115 mph) winds.
 * Cyclone Gamede was an unusally large storm that prompted the highest level of cyclone warning on Réunion and brought strong winds to the island on February 27, causing a bridge to collapse.
 * Neither Enok towards the start of the month or Humba near its end, had any impact on land.

Member of the month The February member of the month is Miss Madeline. Miss Madeline is responsible for many of the projects featured lists such as List of Category 5 Pacific hurricanes and List of California hurricanes. She has also put serious work into many of our Pacific hurricane articles since she joined the project as one of its founding members. Recently she has worked on 1996 Pacific hurricane season, bringing it from a stub-class article to a Good article candidate.

New and improved articles
 * New featured content: Hurricane Erika (1997), Effects of Hurricane Isabel in Maryland and Washington, D.C., Meteorological history of Hurricane Wilma, 2000 Sri Lanka Cyclone, Hurricane Isabel and List of Florida hurricanes (pre-1900).
 * New Good articles include Hurricane Pauline, Hurricane Isis (1998), 1939 Pacific typhoon season, Typhoon Tip and 1983 Atlantic hurricane season.
 * New articles include Hurricane Isis (1998), Hurricane Debby (1982), Hurricane Adolph (2001), Hurricane Alberto (1982) and Tropical Depression One (1992).

Main Page content
 * Entries from 6 articles: Hurricane Flossy (1956), Hurricane Able (1951), Meteorological history of Hurricane Wilma, Effects of Hurricane Wilma in the Bahamas, Tropical Depression One (1992) and Tropical cyclone basins appeared on the Main Page in the Did you know column during February.

New articles and improvements wanted
 * Articles are wanted on Pacific typhoon, North Indian cyclone, diffluence, Outflow (meteorology) and Central dense overcast.
 * Improvements are wanted to Subtropical cyclone, Japan Meteorological Agency, Intertropical Convergence Zone, 1919 Florida Keys Hurricane Hurricane Ivan and Hurricane Andrew.

Storm article statistics

Comments wanted on project talk Many discussions that potentially have far reaching impact for the whole project are carried out on the project's talk page. However, only a fraction of our active contributors actually engage in those discussions. If you add the project page to your Watchlist and keep an eye on discussions there to monitor upcoming changes, even if you don't participate in those discussions it would help both yourself and the project as a whole. For instance, at the moment the primary infobox templates such as Infobox hurricane are in the process of being deprecated and replaced by new versions which do the role more effectively.

Don't worry if the above seems daunting. You don't have to be an expert. All you need is some skills in researching and writing. The Tropical cyclone Wikiproject is quickly becoming one of the leading sources of centralized information on tropical cyclones; we have dozens of featured articles and almost 100 good articles. As such, we ask that any information you add be sourced. If you don't mind me asking, what area do you plan on working on? There are ongoing projects in each basin and time period around the world, just so you know. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a post. Additionally, the Wikiproject has its own channel on IRC. Just click the link to the left, enter your name, type irc.freenode.net as the server, and type #wiki-hurricanes as the channel. Good luck, have fun, and I look forward to seeing you around. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, thanks for inviting me to join! As I told Titoxd, my time is a little limited right now, but I'll be glad to participate. Margie 12:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Excellent! Every little bit helps. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: WPAC
Heya Margie. That should definitely be changed, but I can't find where that problem exists! Could you pass along a link? Cheers. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:20, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I see. Well, that table (as far as I know) is the general time period when the storms formed, not necessarily the official season. The same happens with the North Indian Ocean, which also doesn't have an official season. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 06:16, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The table is titled "Season lengths." I'm just going to pass on again that research mets in the field have observed that the information is wrong.  Margie (talk) 01:35, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Polly Put the Kettle On

"Polly Put the Kettle On" is an English nursery rhyme. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 7899.

Lyrics
Common modern versions include:
 * Polly put the kettle on,
 * Polly put the kettle on,
 * Polly put the kettle on,
 * We'll all have tea.

 * Sukey take it off again,
 * Sukey take it off again,
 * Sukey take it off again,
 * They've all gone away.

An alternative ending in modern British versions is to add the line:
 * Ain’t that nice

A parody version ran:

 * Mother put the telly on,
 * Mother put the telly on,
 * Mother put the telly on,
 * We don't want to play.

 * Don't you turn it off again,
 * Don't you turn it off again,
 * Don't you turn it off again,
 * Or we'll run away

Origins
A song with the title: "Molly Put the Kettle On or Jenny's Baubie" was published by Joseph Dale in London in 1803. It was also printed, with "Polly" instead of "Molly" in Dublin about 1790–1810 and in New York around 1803–07. The nursery rhyme is mentioned in Charles Dickens' Barnaby Rudge (1841), which is the first record of the lyrics in their modern form.

In middle-class families in the mid-eighteenth century "Sukey" was equivalent to "Susan" and Polly was a pet-form of Mary.

The tune associated with this rhyme "Jenny's Baubie" is known to have existed since the 1770s. The melody is vaguely similar to "O du lieber Augustin", which was published in Mainz in 1788–89.

Manroland

Manroland AG manufactures newspaper web offset presses, commercial web offset presses, and sheetfed offset presses for commercial, publications and packaging printing.

The company has production facilities in Offenbach am Main and Augsburg. Manroland Mechatronic Systems in Plauen offers third-party customers the opportunity to expand their production capacity. Together with subsidiary companies, manroland AG employs around 7,000 people worldwide (as at 2010).

History
In 1844, Carl August Reichenbach, nephew of the founder of KBA, Friedrich Koenig, and Carl Buz established the "Reichenbach’sche Maschinenfabrik" (Reichenbach's machine factory) in Augsburg. Six month later the two printing press pioneers supplied their first "Schnellpresse" (automatic cylinder press) to Nikolaus Hartmann's printing plant in Augsburg.

Besides the automatic cylinder press, the 19th century saw another innovation in printing press construction and a newspaper publisher was behind this as well. Around 1850 the question was being asked whether the rotary press principle was suitable for letterpress printing. John Walter III, publisher of "The Times" in London, commissioned the two engineers J.C. MacDonald and John Calverly to develop and build the world's first rotary press for newspaper printing. This became known as the "Walter press". In June 1872, Maschinenfabrik Augsburg sent its development head Gustav Bissinger to England. Fact-finding visits by German engineers to factories and workshops in England, the leading industrial nation of that era, were not uncommon in those days. After that the first rotary press from Maschinenfabrik Augsburg was quickly designed. Although it also worked on the Walter principle, it was smaller and lighter and easier to operate. In May 1873 it was presented at the World Fair in Vienna.

Two years earlier, in 1871, the two engineers Louis Faber and Adolf Schleicher founded the company Faber & Schleicher as an "Association for Production of Automatic Lithographic Presses" in Offenbach am Main. This city has played a very important part in the history of lithography because it was here that Alois Senefelder built his first lithographic stone presses for the André music publishing company. Faber & Schleicher built their first automatic litho stone press in 1879, the "Albatros", which had an output of 600 to 700 sheets per hour. Along with the experience and know-how gained from lithography as well as printing on zinc and other metal plates, the real breakthrough came with the emergence of offset printing at the beginning of the 20th century. The inventors Ira Washington Rubel and Caspar Herrmann took over the indirect printing principle known from printing on metal plate and developed this new process between 1904 and 1907. Faber & Schleicher's specialization in offset printing began in 1911 with the model "Roland", the world's first sheetfed rotary offset press, which was awarded a gold medal at the World Fair in Turin. The name Roland was chosen because "Faber & Schleicher" can hardly be pronounced in English-speaking regions.

The history of manroland in key points
The history of manroland goes back to the origins of printing press manufacturing. It begins for MAN Roland in 1845 with the first automatic letterpress machine.

 * 1845: Carl August Reichenbach from Augsburger Druckmaschinenbau delivers the first automatic cylinder press to Nikolaus Hartmann's printing plant in Augsburg.
 * 1857: A joint stock company was formed and renamed Maschinenfabrik Augsburg.
 * 1872: A complete newspaper printing plant was set up – with steam boiler and steam engine.
 * 1873: The first "machine for printing continuous paper" (i.e. from a reel) was presented at the World Fair in Vienna.
 * 1889: Through an amalgamation the "Vereinigte Maschinenfabrik Augsburg und Maschinenbaugesellschaft Nürnberg A.G., Augsburg" was founded and then in 1908 renamed "Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg AG" – MAN AG.
 * 1911: The first Roland sheetfed offset press was built.
 * 1921: The first prototype of a three-cylinder web offset press in Berliner format was developed.
 * 1922: A new single-color offset press, the Klein-Roland 00, was presented which could print up to 5000 sheets per hour.
 * 1931: Development of a rotary press that could print 25,000 16-page newspapers per hour.
 * Second World War
 * 1951: A four-color sheetfed offset press, the Ultra, was presented at the first drupa trade show.
 * 1960: Three-quarters of the total volume of all German daily newspapers were being produced on presses from Augsburg.
 * 1972: Introduction of the ROLAND 800, the first sheetfed offset press with an integrated color control system that permitted a printing speed of 10,000 sheets per hour.
 * 1974: The biggest rotary offset press in Europe was built in Augsburg: a 17-web COLORMAN with 62 printing units.
 * 1979: MAN Roland Druckmaschinen AG (Offenbach/Main) was founded. This company was formed by the amalgamation of "Roland Offset- und Maschinenfabrik Faber and Schleicher" with "Augsburger M.A.N.-Druck- and Maschinenbau".
 * 1986: Introduction of the LITHOMAN web offset press with a speed of 60,000 cylinder rph and electronic control console technology.
 * 1987: MAVO the first Motorola 6800 chip based press remote technology enters the US in Asheville NC. Zravko Krovinovic and his team gave with Augsburg's hard- and software departments creations birth to the new technology in the US. The Colorman 75 was upgraded in 2008. The US newspaper decline shut the operation down in 2009.
 * 1990: PECOM control console technology was introduced. Together with a new automation concept for the medium-format ROLAND 700, this enabled speeds of up to 15,000 sheets per hour to be achieved.
 * 1990: with the reunification of Germany, KBA takes the control of VEB Planeta, the biggest offset printing machines builder in the Soviet Bloc.
 * 1995: The LITHOMAN was presented at drupa with a new press concept for commercial web offset printing. With a host of additional components it can be extended to become a multifunctional production system for all requirements. The first Intranet based remote trouble shooting systems show great cost savings for many customers.
