Talk:1939 California tropical storm

Merged
I wouldn't say it should be merged with the 1939 Pacific Hurricane Season article, rather, the 1925-1949 Pacific Hurricane Seasons article. Still, not notable enough on its own. Hurricanehink 00:35, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Screw that comment, I think it is notable enough now. Hurricanehink 00:28, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Intensity?
The article says it was a hurricane, but the infobox says it was a tropical storm. Which was it? --Coredesat 22:33, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Hurricane. I'll change it. Hurricanehink 23:13, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

 * In that case, I've gone ahead and put this in the Category 1 Hurricanes category. --Coredesat 10:26, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Rename
Should this article be renamed to the 1939 Long Beach Hurricane? Storm05 13:39, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Good question. It made landfall as a tropical storm, so calling the Long Beach Hurricane would be a little confusing. I really don't know. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:07, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I have a feeling both of those names might be inappropriate "1939 Long Beach Storm" could work. I think with this storm, as with other unnamed storms, we should go with however it was called at the time by the public.--Nilfanion (talk) 15:34, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I seem to recall that this storm received a nickname in Spanish that translates to "The Lash", which is sometimes used to refer to SW US tropical storms in general...? - 206.149.196.97 14:19, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I found it being called "El Cordonazo" from the California National Weather Service. Perhaps it should be renamed to 1939 El Cordonazo hurricane? Hurricanehink ( talk ) 22:21, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Maybe it should be called the 1939 Southern California Tropical Storm. After all, it impacted more than just Long Beach. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 05:14, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * What about calling it the 1939 El Cordonazo hurricane? It was a hurricane at peak strength, but it was a tropical storm at its infamous landfall. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 05:26, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Unnamed tropical cyclones generally have the formulaic titles of "Place Cyclone-type of Year" or "Year Place Cyclone-type". Only a few unnamed systems have other names, such as the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. Calling it the 1939 El Cordonazo hurricane makes it seem like the system hit a place called El Cordonazo. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 05:46, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Good point, as that does sound like a legitimate location in Latin America. I just think it might be confusing that the storm was actually a hurricane, but the title might suggest otherwise. Alright, looking at the title, it implies that a tropical storm struck Long Beach in 1939. Given that is somewhat incorrect (since the storm hit San Pedro), your suggestion works. In fact, the "southern" isn't necessarily needed (most other US state articles are just Year State type), it could just be 1939 California tropical storm. Note: the tropical storm should not be capitalized. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 14:59, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Good article nomination on hold
This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of March 27, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:

 * 1. Well written?: Pass
 * 2. Factually accurate?: Morre refs are needed in the following places: The intro, sentences 1 and 3 of the Storm History section, Unusual track, and Impact
 * 3. Broad in coverage?: If there is any information avilable, it could use an Preparations section.
 * 4. Neutral point of view?: Pass
 * 5. Article stability? Pass
 * 6. Images?: There might be some photos in the NOAA photo library

Good article overall.

Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 00:08, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

 * How are the areas outside of the lead not referenced enough? If there is a reference, it references everything before it to the beginning of the paragraph or another reference. Despite that, I added refs to the two sentences you referred to. Also, I searched the NOAA Photolib, and no results from "1939" or "Long Beach" or "Los Angeles" had anything to do with this system. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 00:54, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I still suggest that you reuse any references to ref sentences outside of the lead. I simply suggested searching the NOAA photo lib for images, I was not sure if there were any there. Once again, this is a good article, you just need to reuse a few references. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 00:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I added notes/refs to the lead. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 23:21, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Successful good article nomination
I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of April 6, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:

 * 1. Well written?: Pass
 * 2. Factually accurate?: Pass
 * 3. Broad in coverage?: Pass
 * 4. Neutral point of view?: Pass
 * 5. Article stability? Pass
 * 6. Images?: Pass

Good article; Sorry abot the long wait time, I forgot to put the page on my watchlist. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to Good article reassessment. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations. — Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 16:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Minar-e-Pakistan

2006
The article suggested that 'Minar-e-Pakistan' means 'Pakistan Day Memorial'. It actually means 'Tower of Pakistan'. I have changed the sentence to the correct meaning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.61.220 (talk • contribs)

I also like "Tower of Pakistan" better than "Pakistan Column", but I'm leaving it to a patriotic Pakistani and native Urdu speaker to make the call, out of respect. I also wasn't sure whether to use the A. manār or P. mīnār so I took an educated guess (my Ferozsons Urdu-English dictionary gives one and my Ferozsons English-Urdu gives the other. Hope I'm right in this usage, with the izafat as my guide. Khirad 23:54, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Construction Year
There's no mention of any date in the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.81.229.29 (talk) 23:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC).

Height?
'''The base is about 8 meters above the ground. The tower rises about 62 meters on the base, thus the total height of minaret is about 92 meters above the ground.'''

Strange. I get 8+62 totals 70 meters. How is that 92 meters calculated? Dutch wikipedia sums it to 72 m (strangely 60+8 m). 85.217.20.33 (talk) 15:07, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Coordinate error
The following coordinate fixes are needed for

—66.54.75.246 (talk) 11:39, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅. You haven't said what error you're referring to; but it does appear that the coordinates were a bit off, and I've emended them. Deor (talk) 16:32, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Inspired by the Eiffel Tower
Nowhere in the article, it is said that it has been inspired by the Eiffel tower. But it's a reality. Just compare the pictures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.215.72.178 (talk) 11:05, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * ❌ You need to provide a source for that. Merely comparing pictures aren't a proof that a particular thing has been inspired by another. Also, according to my observation, they do not look the same. Knightrises10 (talk) 11:15, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

En masse public molestation and sexual violence against women

 Bookku, 'Encyclopedias are for expanding information and knowledge' (talk) 07:51, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

 * , I keep taking note of women's rights issues. I do have drafts like Draft:Sexual politics and Draft:Sexual politics in south Asia actually each of drafts are not critical, I do have even drafts like Draft:Pawri Ho Rahi Hai or Draft:Humor during the COVID-19 pandemic or Draft:Aurats (word). Why I am introducing my drafts or I added See also link to Rabindra Sarobar Stadium since many users not knowing that I work across topics keep bringing bad faith questions like am I targeting women rights issues of one specific country only, so before updating 14 Aug 2021 Minar-e-Pakistan incidence I added link to similar previous Indian public place sexual violence so users taking side of Pakistan need not feel afraid  with questions like is only Pakistan's record being targeted. For record I want to mention that I keep taking certain Western  and Black sea  women's rights issues too and this time here it is Minar-e-Pakistan.

 * I am not insisting to keep link of Rabindra Sarobar Stadium but requesting users to take note of Minar-e-Pakistan 14 Aug 2021 incidence.

 * I hope users understand, Thanks and warm regards,  Bookku, 'Encyclopedias are for expanding information and knowledge' (talk) 13:05, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

 * 2021 Minar-e-Pakistan mass sexual assault
 * A young female tiktoker was assaulted by a crowd of over 400 people as she and her male friend visited Minar-e-Pakistan on the country’s independence day. In a video that went viral days after August 14, Pakistan’s Independence Day, hundreds of men could be seen picking up the woman, brutally tearing off her clothes and throwing her up in the air.Amidst its struggle to eradicate violence against women, the country received severe denunciation from across the world after the incident.

 * Deletion edit summary by IP 213.205.198.226 information is irrelevant. Either all events should be included or none. Otherwise it is against ethics to give partial information of events shows a bias
 * Reply to IP 213.205.198.226
 * An incidence of which whole of Pakistan and international media took note of, Pakistan's Prime Minister publicly admitted  his feelings of "..."ashamed and pained" by the assault of a female TikToker by hundreds of men near Minar-i-Pakistan..." how it can be irrelevant?
 * As Pakistan's most prestigious monument Minar-i-Pakistan has got encyclopedic notability, 14th August being Pakistans independence got encyclopedic notability and a woman getting being sexually attacked by hundreds of people and covered by all the media has got encyclopedic notability then how it can be avoided from Wikipedia as encyclopedia?
 * Where (reliable) reference are available Wikipedians have been taking note of all notable incidences whether in Pakistan or else where. including that of Mass sexual assaults. If you have any good notable (emphasis to notable) events held @ Minar-i-Pakistan with reliable refs you can very well take note of those in the article; same time some events even if some one does not like but are notable and reliable refs are available need to be taken note of.
 * Even before coming on Wikipedia news spreads through global media so hiding or window dressing on Wikipedia neither helps any countries image nor it helps it's women. Society needs to improve, hiding assaults on women is not the solution.
 * Last but not least Wikipedia does not support censoring of notable content having verifiable reliable sources.

 * Let us discuss  Bookku, 'Encyclopedias are for expanding information and knowledge' (talk) 16:22, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Location
Just for record: While one user admitting notability of incidence raised a query on my user talk page whether incidence happened @ Minar-e-Pakistan or adjacent Greater Iqbal Park? I replied as below:

Thanks for discussing.
 * Dawn news report: In the first information report (FIR) registered at the Lorry Adda police station, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, the complainant stated that she, along with six companions, were filming a video near Minar-e-Pakistan on Independence Day when around 300 to 400 people "attacked us"....She said that she and her companions made a lot of effort to escape from the crowd. Observing the situation, the park's security guard opened the gate to the enclosure around Minar-e-Pakistan, the FIR quotes her as saying..."However, the crowd was huge and people were scaling the enclosure and coming towards us..
 * Samaa.tv report is more specific: A still from the video of the mob that attacked the woman on August 14, 2021 at Greater Iqbal Park and Minar-e-Pakistan....The incident took place on the public holiday Saturday at the Greater Iqbal Park at the Minar-e-Pakistan monument. The victim said that she was at the Minar-e-Pakistan with her friends to make a video for her YouTube channel when suddenly more than 300 to 400 men attacked them. The victim said when she and her friends tried to get away from the crowd, the guards at the Minar opened the gate of the fence and they went inside..The men jumped over the fence and surged towards us and started...
 * Even Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan referred incidence in his speech as Minar-e-Pakistan incidence.
 * It is almost a two hour thing so more details will emerge as police investigation and court cases move forward. Again Pakistan does have track record of victim blaming and also window dressing media but same time over a period of time scholarly academic books also keep coming up and visible written and street activism from women's movements and civil society. so let us see how things move forward and kind of references keep becoming available.
 * Pl. do suggest. Thanks

nabling and justifying violence, specifically against women the weaponization of one's persoanal information is a regular occurrence. According to Dr Muhammad Moiz while Tik Tok and Instagram, as well as the increased visibility they provide, may be new addition; but women, and also those who censure them for engaging in acts of self-expression and pleasure, predate social media. Dr. Moiz and Shmyla say  that the digital media simply imports preexisting power structures, social media becomes just a new additional tool to commit violence upon on visible bodies. <ref 2400:ADC1:432:E000:96D:B4F2:B738:432E

Moini says when it comes to enabling and justifying violence, specifically against women the weaponization of one's persoanal information is a regular occurrence. According to Dr Muhammad Moiz while Tik Tok and Instagram, as well as the increased visibility they provide, may be new addition; but women, and also those who censure them for engaging in acts of self-expression and pleasure, predate social media. Dr. Moiz and Shmyla say  that the digital media simply imports preexisting power structures, social media becomes just a new additional tool to commit violence upon on visible bodies. According to Rajaa Moini the word ' azad '  holds a unique significance in the Urdu language, which inspires  reverence, pride, but in the context of women, downright hostility and revulsion.In Pakistan while an ' azad mulk ', a free country, can be cause of celebration and revelry, where as an ' azad aurat ', or a free woman, faces accusations of cultural degradation, she is considered like an active threat to the nation at the best, and a justification for brutal violence against her at worst.

 * Since I suppose mostly there would not be much doubts about notability of the incidence so I did update Draft:2021 Minar-e-Pakistan mass sexual assault so as per your suggestion we can have a short summary and a hatnote linking to Draft:2021 Minar-e-Pakistan mass sexual assault @ the article Minar-e-Pakistan.

Coatrack
The subject of this article is "Minar-e-Pakistan". It is not all the controversy surrounding the mass sexual assaults (which are disgusting and reprehensible). Therefore controversy over Imran Khan's remarks on the use of smartphones in this case are irrelevant to this article. They may be added to Imran Khan (if it is DUE). But really we shouldn't have more than a short paragraph mentioning the event. Current text makes this article into a WP:COATRACK, violates WP:DUE and WP:RECENTISM.VR talk 13:22, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Incident
Incident at Minar e Pakistan should describe in Incidents sub heading. You can create other page for complete episode of August 14 but reference of the incident should be mention in one line. You can see the example at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_Square#Incidents. -Ameen Akbar (talk) 19:13, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree. Maybe we can move most of it to Draft:2021 Minar-e-Pakistan mass sexual assault for now.VR talk 00:47, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment: Expecting reasonable effort towards at least reasonable participation of Women users in women related discussions and not to hurry up discussion closures til then.
 * Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women
 * Demand women's participation in decision-making at all levels
 * Equality of women and men under the law; protection of women and girls through the rule of law
 * Recognition of the fact that distinct experiences and burdens of women and girls come from systemic discrimination
 * Ensure that women's experiences, needs and perspectives are incorporated into the ... social decisions.

One opinion
I was recently confronted with one opinion piece (It is different than my own point of view) at one discussion page.:
 * It's a much large paragraph so shortened as much possible and changed to address technicalities: "... Is Verifiability sufficient for inclusion? The problem statement is what objective criteria in term of sources and beyond verifiability can be used to establish relevance. Would logical relevance be way too inclusive? For example presume One out of five women are victim of intimate partner violence in France is certainly logically relevant to the subject of France and whatever verifiable figures in official statistics.... The problem is that, based on logical relevance, the entire subject of intimate partner violence should be covered in details in the France  article. Where should Wikipedia article stop, assuming that Wikipedians start at all?... This is a very simple question that one asks here. .." ( Since discussion at other forum is not closed Ref not given to avoid charges of 'forum shopping')

The above is different than my own point of view but mentioning here for benefit of other users to take rational call on the basis what they think. The above para is changed a bit to address technicalities maintaining essence of the argument in midst of ongoing discussion.

 * An art theft is directly related to the location (a museum), so is not a comparable situation. A terrorist attack which is aimed at a certain location isn't comparable as well. When the location of an incident is not really of importance to the incident, the best solution is to mention the incident at the location page, and to have a separate page for the incident (if it is notable of course, which doesn't seem an issue here). Fram (talk) 09:37, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment (It's difficult to know where to put a comment as the structure above is fairly complicated.) : I agree with the original poster that the current section Minar-e-Pakistan is inappropriately long and detailed for an article about the site where the assault took place. Draft:2021 Minar-e-Pakistan mass sexual assault looks good, and a brief mention of the assault, with a source and a link, as is done at Times_Square, would be just right. Pam  D  09:48, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment. I agree with PamD. Innisfree987 (talk) 10:38, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment A question related to encyclopedic philosophy.
 * While in Wikipedia we consider notability of title preferably be of permanent/ long duration nature and I agree with that. But relevance of content in various sections may have a time value changing as per audience interest? Like in case of USA when voting rights for women were being discussed those generation, later as waves of feminism came audience of those generation would have more interest in contemporary issues. Similarly audience of Article Minar e Pakistan would be interested in knowing more within the article too about related contemporary incidence a little more than just a briefest information.
 *  Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 14:08, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The entire debate and media reaction surrounding the sexual assaults has nothing to do with Minar-e-Pakistan itself. The only thing that is related to the structure is that the sexual assault that happened there and it can be covered in just a sentence or two. The details of Pakistani's society's reaction to sexual assault are probably more relevant at Violence against women in Pakistan (where they should still nonetheless be covered in a WP:DUE manner).VR talk 14:59, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Readers interested in in-depth coverage can consult the link to the content WP:FORK, for which there appears to be a consensus here. Innisfree987 (talk) 22:53, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for suggestion, this technicality has been addressed now. Let us move on to main question of encyclopedic merit, what objective criteria in term of sources and beyond verifiability can be used to establish relevance? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bookku (talk • contribs) 03:10, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * No thanks, we have resolved the content question for this entry. Further questions should be addressed to relevant policy pages or the WP:Village Pump, so as not to WP:BLUDGEON this entry’s talk page. Innisfree987 (talk) 03:20, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

 * The objective criteria to establish relevance which I would attempt to prove across articles in due course, may be with some amendments as discussions move on. I am using examples of instances other than crime against women also, to bring measure of objectivity.
 * Brief:
 * 1) Objective of fulfilling curiosity, 2)Measure of 'generational time value', 3) Scale of normality, 4) Scale of severity in case of incidences, 5) Boasting about fundamentals Vs. unexpected contrast, 6)Measure of Sanctity and breach there of, 7) Balance of criticism and answers to the criticism
 * Detail explanation with examples:
 * 1) Other than collation of information and knowledge, encyclopedias serve objective of fulfilling curiosity where information/ knowledge is available.Serves indirect but substantial purpose of 'do you know?'
 * 2) Measure of 'curiosity' brings in measure of 'generational time value'
 * Example: Reference to 'Jury system' is relevant and important to the article on U.S. justice system, since the system is still practiced. In south Asia in colonial times jury system was there which has been discontinued. Encyclopedic notability for historic usage of jury system in colonial times still remains in separate encyclopedic article. But present generations will be less curious about historic jury system in South Asia so as generation changes relevance reduces one can relegate information to secondary encyclopedic article. But where curiosity is existent relevance remains.
 * 3) Scale of normality : Encyclopedic articles should answer what is.. too normal, normal, abnormal and too abnormal.
 * Example: A functioning democratic house of senate/ congress/ parliament member behave peacefully or not so peacefully can have a mention. In some parliaments houses members are reported tearing documents in some even throwing of chairs takes place, in some cases Autocrats like Hitler, Lenin take control of those houses some time, supporters behave as in case of Capitol Hill to hold the house hostage, in some cases terrorists attacked parliament houses as in case of Indian Parliament.
 * 4) Scale of severity in case of incidences. An incidence of pick pocketing or stalking is too less severe to be considered of encyclopedic relevance. But groping mentioned in Mosque Me Too or sexual abuses whenever happen in precincts of Churches, Mosques, Temples and Madrasa or Schools those are considered serious and gain encyclopedic relevance. It was 9/11 severity brings relevance of attack on those towers articles.
 * 5) Boasting about fundamentals Vs. unexpected contrast
 * Example 1 A theft by professional thief presents less contrast, A theft by notables eg. corruption at higher level than that of lower level presents more of unexpected contrast so that brings relevance.
 * Example 2 Ogling by Trump and Ogling by Obama both would count as examples of differing encyclopedic relevance in article about Ogling being contrast to expected behavior of American president. But it may be considered less severe to mention in the article about American presidents. Whether it is Bill Clinton or numerous sexual escapades high UK officials even consensual ones are considered unexpected hence bring in a measure of encyclopedic relevance in related articles. In Las Vegas ordinary fellow going to striptease game club is just normal will have lesser relevance to encyclopedic article but a Prince of UK or Thailand bring in much more relevance since a contrast to expectation is being presented.
 * Example 3: A naturist woman putting down clothes for recreation, a religious nudity in certain religion are too common and expected normal behaviours at those locations their encyclopedic relevance will be on account of normal behaviour. But a woman uses nudity as measure of protest gets relevance. or instances of forced nudity bring different relevance.
 * Example 4:Violence by drug dealer gangs presents less contrast to the expectation. Violence tactics by any Buddhists in Sri lanka, Myanmar brings encyclopedic relevance since being unexpected. Similarly other religion proclaims itself peaceful but existent violence or terrorism is contrast of claim or boasting that religions are peaceful  brings relevance.
 * 6) Sanctity and breach there of
 * Example: In Pakistan later generation leadership of Muslim league made political sloganeering at Mausoleum of Jinnah. They thought that is their democratic expression but other side of spectrum thought that as undermining sanctity of Mausoleum  of founder of a nation and the controversy brings encyclopedic relevance in the article Mausoleum of Jinnah. Prayer houses whether in Mecca or in Istanbul they are associated with some value of sanctity and their historic or modern time, the instances of seizures bring in encyclopedic relevance in the concerned encyclopedic articles.
 * Sexual misconduct even in ordinary school premises is matter of concern and may be of encyclopedic relevance on case to case basis but certain institutions and monuments claim more sanctity there instances of breach of sanctity including majior sexual misconduct become encyclopedic point of view more relevant.
 * 7) Balance of criticism and answers to the criticism
 * I hope above points help discussion on this point
 * Thnaks
 *  Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 05:55, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * But this is not in any way about the criticism of Minar-e-Pakistan itself. Its a criticism of Pakistani society's attitude towards women.VR talk 16:02, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually my above post is more than detail enough. IMHO relevance come from sanctity of Minar e Pakistan and breach of it's sanctity by an unexpected event, and reader encyclopedic curiosity too is related. If you have a nuanced view, now deleted subsection paragraph consisted criticism of victim and media reports and again balance of that criticism. And I am not in hurry to prove the point in this article itself. We will discuss these points in various relevance related articles in due course of time.
 * As of now let us take a break from this discussion. At least I am taking one. Thanks

How do we verify this Dawn news paper ref
Greetings,

Recent Revert by of  IP's good faith edit is valid in it's place but the ip too seem to have a point. It seems ip should have used tagged the sentence for verification failed.

Sentence in the article like 'Polished white marble used for the fourth and final platform depicts the success of the Pakistan Movement' shall need verification of reference cited

But @ the article Minar-e-Pakistan  presently numbered 7th ref. As of now it reads as below
 * 'Amna Jamal (2002) The Pakistan Day memorial. Dawn. 23 March. Retrieved 12 February 2008'

There is no URL link in the ref. We can guess it is probably 2002, March 23 article. Google and simple search @ archive did not give expected result. I do not see any reason to doubt good faith of who so ever added ref. But some of the  content seem to need verification. Any ways to retrieve old article?

I have requested for help @ WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request but I am not sure that ref would be easily retrievable. Editors need to look for alternate references

Robert Stackhouse

Robert Stackhouse (born 1942 in Bronxville, New York, United States) is an American artist and sculptor.

Stackhouse graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of South Florida in 1965. He later earned a master's degree at the University of Maryland, College Park in studio art. USF's Contemporary Art Museum contains an archive of his work, with copies of all of his prints over the course of his career.

A-frames are a frequent theme in the artist's paintings and sculpture. Ruby's Heart, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, is an example of this recurring minimalist subject. Stackhouse's work has been featured in one-man exhibitions in museums such as the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and his work has been compared to that of Harriet Feigenbaum.

The artist Mary Beth Edelson lived with Stackhouse for 27 years.

Kabul taxi driver -- father an airline official

Released March 26, 2003
 * Returning Afghans Talk of Guantanamo: Out of Legal Limbo, Some Tell of Mistreatment
 * ''An exception was Said Abasin, a Kabul taxi driver whose father, an airline official in Afghanistan, had loudly protested his son's captivity for months. Abasin said he was relieved and excited to be home, but could not forgive American officials for keeping him so long. "I am an innocent man who did nothing," he said.

 * Innocent Afghan wants US compensation for Guantanamo detention
 * ''Saeed Abbasin, one of the 18 Afghans recently released by the US authorities, said on Wednesday here that he hopes Americans could pay for his missing taxicab and the time he fiddled in US military custody at the Cuban island.

=
== Said Abasin (also transliterated as Saeed Abbasin) is a former Afghani taxi driver who was detained as a suspected terrorist in Camp Delta in the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Abasin was one of 18 Afghan detainees repatriated on March 22, [2003]], and released on March 26, 2003. Abasin claimed he was innocent, and, according to Xinhau News Abasin said he had a certificate of his innocence. None of the detainees was given any compensation, other than a knapsack, American running shoes, and a set of western clothes.

Abasin said he was not captured on the battlefield. He was driving his cab, and was conveying two passengers. Abasin cab was seized by the local authorities who captured him.

The Washington Post reports that Abisin differed from most detainees in that Abasin's father, an airline official in Afghanistan, had been actively advocating for his release. Abasin's father was there to meet him on his release. The detainees were released without any funds, and most were compelled to rely on charity to get home.

Abasin is the Pashtun name for the Indus River.

Mandara Kingdom

The Mandara Kingdom (sometimes called Wandala or the Kingdom of Medra) was an African kingdom in the Mandara Mountains of what is today Cameroon. The Mandara people are descended from the kingdom's inhabitants.

History

Tradition states that Mandara was founded shortly before 1500 by a female ruler named Soukda and a non-Mandarawa hunter named Gaya. The kingdom was first referred to by Fra Mauro (in 1459) and Leo Africanus (in 1526); the provenance of its name remains uncertain. Medra is mostly likely the original name of Mandara, one letter being obliterated in Leo's Arabic notes. Leo acknowledges the Kingdom of Medra (Mandara) for their good governors and rulers. The inhabitants of Medra are rich and industrious people, visited often, and great lovers of justice and equity. The region of Medra is listed on the Africae Tabula Nova in 1570. Leo Africanus visited the Kingdom of Medra, located in the south.

For the kingdom's first century of history, its rulers warred with neighbouring groups in an effort to expand their territories. After conquering the Dulo (or Duolo) and establishing the capital at Dulo c. 1580, the dynasty of Sankre, a war leader, began. When the Dulo made an attempt to seize the throne, the Bornu kingdom supported the claim of Aldawa Nanda, a member of Sankre's house. Emperor Idris Alaoma of Borno personally installed Nanda as king in 1614. Bornu thus attained an influential position over Mandara.

Mai Bukar Aji, the 25th king, made Mandara a sultanate c. 1715, which it would remain for nearly two hundred years. Muslim visitors converted Bukar to Islam, and the Islamicisation of the kingdom would continue for most of the next century.

The kingdom experienced a golden age of sorts under Bukar and his successor, Bukar Guiana (1773-1828). Around 1781, the Mandara defeated the kingdom of Borno in a major battle, further expanding their control in the region. At the peak of her power at the turn of the century, Mandara received tribute from some 15 chiefdoms. However, the kingdom faced a setback in 1809, when Modibo Adama, a Fulani disciple of Usman dan Fodio, led a jihad against Mandara. Adama briefly seized Dulo, though the Mandara counterattack soon drove him from the kingdom's borders. Adama's defeat prompted Borno to ally with Mandara once again against the Fulani invaders. Upon the death of ruler Bukai Dgjiama, Mandara's non-Muslim tributaries rose up, and the Fulani attacked once more. By 1850, Borno could not pass up the opportunity to attack the weakened kingdom. This renewed conflict began to sap the kingdom's strength, paving the way for the invasion of Muhammad Ahmad's forces in the 1880s. In 1895 or 1896, Muhammad Ahmad's army destroyed Dulo, marking a further decline in Mandara power. However, the kingdom continued to exist, repelling continual Fulani raids until it finally fell to them in 1893.

English explorer Dixon Denham accompanied a slave-raiding expedition from Borno into the Mandara kingdom in February 1823; though he barely escaped with his life following the raiders' defeat, he brought back one of the first European accounts of the kingdom. In 1902, the kingdom was conquered by Germany, passing then to France in 1918. In 1960, the Mandara kingdom became a part of newly independent Cameroon.

EDX London

EDX London was a derivatives exchange managed by the London Stock Exchange that was absorbed into the Turquoise trading platform in 2011. The market was set up in 2003 to combine the liquidity and expertise of the LSE with advanced derivatives technology offered by Sweden's OMX AB. Members of EDX could trade either standardized or flexible futures and options on indices or single stocks. Trading took place on the three Scandinavian linked exchanges, the Stockholm Stock Exchange, Copenhagen Stock Exchange, and Oslo Børs as well as some Russian stocks.

The exchange utilised the electronic trading platform Sola Trading and trades were cleared via LCH.Clearnet. At its peak, there were approximately 150 contracts available for trading.

The cooperation between EDX London and OMX was terminated in November 2009 when Nasdaq took over OMX. Most of the contracts were moved to Nasdaq OMX with only the Norwegian derivatives remaining with EDX London. NasdaqOMX moved these contracts to its Genium Inet electronic trading platform in 2010. The LSE merged the remaining EDX London contracts with its Turquoise trading service that it had acquired in 2009.

Santo Stefano (island)

Santo Stefano (Santu Stefanu in Gallurese; Santu Istèvene in Sardinian) is an island in the Maddalena archipelago of northern Sardinia, Italy, and part of the Maddalena National Park.

Description

The island is largely uninhabited and it is mainly known for its hosting of a NATO Naval Base and Italian Navy ammunition magazines. Apart from the military, the only residence on the island is a tourist resort. The island could be reached only by a private boat.

At the south of the island at the western slope of the Cala di Villamarina, there are remains of old fortifications, namely the Forte San Giorgio and the Forte La Torre. At the eastern slope is an abandoned granite quarry with a giant bust depicting an Italian fascist, Costanzo Ciano, whose work was commissioned by Mussolini himself for Ciano's family mausoleum in Livorno (Tuscany), but has been left unfinished since 1943.

History

From 1973 through 2008, there was a U.S. Naval Support Activity base as well as a NATO base on the island. The NATO base housed an Italian Navy barracks and it served as the home port for several US Navy submarine tenders over the years, beginning in 1972 with the arrival of the USS Fulton (AS-11) followed by the USS Howard W. Gilmore (AS-16) in 1973 until 1980, followed by the USS Orion (AS-18) which departed in 1993, followed by the USS Simon Lake (AS-33) from 1993 until 1998 and ending with the departure of the USS Emory S. Land (AS-39), which set sail for its new home port of Bremerton, Washington. The US Naval Support Activity officially closed in January 2008, ending the 35 year US presence in La Maddalena.

During the period in which the American military had a presence on the island, it was twice used as a repair base for submarines after undersea collisions. In 1977 USS Ray (SSN-653) collided with a coral reef off Tunisia and suffered damage to the sonar dome and cracking to the hull. Ray had immediate repairs here, then made a surface transit back to the US. On 25 October 2003 USS Hartford (SSN-768) ran aground with sufficient force to substantially damage its rudders, sonar and electronics.

Ellicott's Stone

Ellicott's Stone, also known as the Ellicott Stone, is a boundary marker in northern Mobile County, Alabama. It was placed on April 10, 1799, by a joint U.S.-Spanish survey party headed by Andrew Ellicott. It was designated by the American Society of Civil Engineers as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1968 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 11, 1973.

It is the only known stone monument set by Ellicott when he surveyed the 31st parallel north latitude, which served as the boundary line between the Mississippi Territory in the United States and Spanish West Florida. The boundary line extended along the 31st parallel from the Mississippi River east to the Chattahoochee River, as set forth in the 1795 Pinckney Treaty, formally known as the Treaty of San Lorenzo.

Ellicott's Stone is the initial point for all United States Public Land surveys in the southern region of Alabama and Mississippi. It is the point of intersection of what is known today as the St. Stephens meridian and the St. Stephens baseline. All townships in the area are numbered from the stone.

The marker stone is located east of U.S. Route 43 in Ellicott Stone Historical Park, about 1 mi south of Bucks, Alabama. The park was established in 1917. It is now near the James M. Barry Electric Generating Plant, west of the Mobile River.

Description
The stone marker, a ferruginous sandstone block about two feet high and eight inches (203 mm) thick, is near the west bank of the Mobile River.

Foster-Miller TALON

The Foster-Miller TALON is a remotely operated, tracked military robot designed for missions ranging from reconnaissance to combat. It is made by the American robotics company QinetiQ-NA, a subsidiary of QinetiQ.

Overview
Foster-Miller claims the TALON is one of the fastest robots in production, one that can travel through sand, water, and snow, as well as climb stairs. The TALON transmits in color, black and white, infrared, and/or night vision to its operator who may be up to about 3937 ft away. It can run off lithium-ion batteries for a maximum of seven days on standby before needing to recharge. It has an 8.5-hour battery life at normal operating speeds, two standard lead batteries providing two hours each, and one optional lithium ion providing an additional 4.57 hours. It can withstand repeated decontamination, allowing it to work for extended periods of time in contaminated areas. It was used at Ground Zero after the September 11 attacks, working for 45 days under contaminated conditions without electronic failure. This led to the further development of the HAZMAT TALON.

It weighs less than 100 lb, or 60 lb for the reconnaissance version. Its cargo bay can accommodate a variety of sensor payloads. The robot is controlled through a two-way radio or fiber-optic link from a portable or wearable Operator Control Unit (OCU) that provides continuous data and video feedback for precise vehicle positioning.

Regular (IED/EOD) TALON: Carries sensors and a robotic manipulator, which are used by the U.S. military for explosive ordnance disposal and disarming improvised explosive devices.

Special Operations TALON (SOTALON): Does not have the robotic arm manipulator but carries day/night color cameras and listening devices; lighter due to the absence of the arm, for reconnaissance missions.

SWORDS TALON: For small arms combat and guard roles. Evaluated in December 2003 in Kuwait prior to deployment in Iraq.

HAZMAT TALON: Uses chemical, gas, temperature, and radiation sensors that are displayed in real-time to the user on a hand-held display unit. It is now being evaluated by the US Armament Research Development and Engineering Centre (ARDEC).

C-TALON is an unmanned robot designed to be used in both land and water environments. It is specifically designed for turbulent water environments, coastal waters, and limited access harbors. It has high-resolution imaging sonar, among other key features.

The robot costs approximately $6,000,000 in its standard form. Foster-Miller was subsequently bought out by QinetiQ, a United Kingdom military developer.

SWORDS

SWORDS, or the Special Weapons Observation Reconnaissance Detection System, is a weaponized version of the robot that is being developed by Foster-Miller for the US Army. The robot is composed of a weapons system mounted on the standard TALON chassis. The current price of one unit is $230,000; however, Foster-Miller claims that when it enters mass production the price may drop to between $150,000 and $180,000.

There are a variety of different weapons which can be placed on the SWORDS, which include the M16 rifle, 5.56 mm SAW M249, 7.62mm M240 machine gun, .50 Cal M82 Barrett rifle, six barreled 40 mm grenade launcher and quad 66mm M202A1 FLASH incendiary weapon.

SWORDS units are not autonomous, but instead controlled by a soldier using a small console to remotely control the robot. Foster-Miller are currently at work on a "Game Boy" style controller with virtual-reality headsets for future operators.

In 2007, three SWORDS units were deployed to Iraq. The units were each armed with an M249 machine gun. This deployment marked the first instance of robots carrying guns into battle; however, the United States Army never gave authorization to use them so the weapons were not used in combat. The Army stopped funding the SWORDS robots after deploying the initial three robots. Foster-Miller is working on a successor: the Modular Advanced Armed Robotic System (MAARS).

By August 2013, the Smithsonian Institution had acquired a SWORDS robot for its collection. One is also on display at the National Infantry Museum in Fort Benning, Georgia.

Deployment
The Talon has been deployed in military service since 2000 - for example, in Bosnia for the movement of munitions and EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) to dispose of grenades. It was also used at Ground Zero after the September 11th attacks in search and recovery. It is the only robot used in this effort that did not require any major repair. Foster-Miller claims the Talon was used for a classified mission by US Special Forces in the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, as well as in an EOD role. In Iraq, its standard role has been performing EOD and IED destruction missions. Its combat SWORDS version is now being used there as a guard protecting front line buildings from attack. According to Foster-Miller, the robot has performed around 20,000 EOD missions in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

As of late 2014, the Army was refurbishing 353 Talon IV robots, with 296 going to Army engineers and 57 to the Army National Guard.

Derek McCulloch

Derek Ivor Breashur McCulloch OBE (18 November 1897 – 1 June 1967) was a BBC Radio producer and presenter. He became known as "Uncle Mac" on Children's Hour and Children's Favourites. He was the head of children's broadcasting for the BBC from 1933 until 1951.

Early life
McCulloch was born in Plymouth, Devon, the youngest child of (William) Lionel Breashur McCulloch and his wife, Bertha Russell. The First World War interrupted his education at Croydon High School, and he enlisted in 1915 in the Public Schools Battalion of the 16th Middlesex Regiment at the age of 17. He was wounded at the Battle of the Somme in July 1916 within 20 yards of the German front line. He was then shot by an enemy stretcher party and lost his right eye. During three days and nights in a shell hole, he incurred further injuries from shrapnel. He crawled back to his own lines. He served until 1921 with the infantry, where he was commissioned into the Green Howards, and in the Royal Flying Corps as an equipment officer, including a spell on HMS Valiant.

After the war, he travelled in Europe and South America. He was working for Central Argentine Railway when his health deteriorated, and he returned to England where a bullet was extracted from his lung.

BBC
McCulloch joined the BBC in 1926 as an announcer. He was the commentator on the first radio broadcast of the FA Cup Final in 1927. His health worsened while working for the Belfast station in 1929 but a job was found for him in Children's Hour. By 1931, he became second-in-command of the programme and took charge of it in 1933.

The programme included talks, plays, music and drama serials. He was appointed head of children's broadcasting in 1933, serving in that position until 1951. He regarded the department as a microcosm of all broadcasting, stating: "Nothing but the best is good enough for children ... our wish is to stimulate their imaginations, direct their reading, encourage their various interests, widen their outlook and inculcate the Christian virtues of love of God and their neighbours." In 1938 he lost a leg as the result of a road accident, and thereafter remained in constant pain.

One of the favourite segments of Children's Hour was Sydney George Hulme Beaman's Toytown playlets, in which McCulloch played the central role of Larry the Lamb. In 1939, the audience for Children's Hour reached four million. His signoff line, "Goodnight children, everywhere," became more poignant after the evacuation of many children from their homes at the start of the Second World War. He resigned from the BBC in 1950 due to ill health, and to become the children's editor for the News Chronicle. However, he continued to chair Nature Parliament, which ran roughly every month on Children's Hour.

In 1954, McCulloch returned to the BBC to present a music request programme for children, Children's Favourites, on Saturday mornings. By 1964, the audience for the daily Children's Hour had decreased to 24,000, in favour of television. Despite questions in Parliament, the programme was dropped. The following year, he ceased to present the Saturday show. After his retirement, it was hosted by Leslie Crowther and it became Junior Choice, hosted by Ed Stewart, when the BBC Light Programme was replaced by Radio 1 and Radio 2 in 1967.

Writing
McCulloch wrote the book Every Child's Pilgrim's Progress in 1956, a simplified version of John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, which in McCulloch's words was one of the "greatest stories ever written". He also wrote two children's stories, Cornish Adventure (1941) and Cornish Mystery (1950), and gave his name to a series of Ladybird children's books in the 1950s.

Personal life and death
McCulloch was the subject of the BBC television programme This Is Your Life in February 1964.

He married Eileen Hilda Barry, a BBC secretary, on 13 June 1931. They had two daughters. He was awarded an OBE in 1964, and died at St Francis Hospital, Haywards Heath on 1 June 1967, aged 69. McCulloch was cremated at Bramley, Surrey.

Olé Coltrane

Olé Coltrane is a studio album by the jazz musician and composer John Coltrane. It was released in November 1961 through Atlantic Records. The album was recorded at A&R Studios in New York, and was the last of Coltrane's Atlantic albums to be made under his own supervision.

Background
Two days prior to the recording of Olé Coltrane, Coltrane had made Africa/Brass, his inaugural recording session for his new label, Impulse! Records, at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. With one further album due his old label Atlantic, he brought in his working quintet along with two participants in the Africa/Brass sessions, Art Davis and Freddie Hubbard. Owing to his concurrent contract with Prestige Records, Eric Dolphy was listed on the credits under the pseudonym George Lane.

Coltrane's interest in the music of Spain evident in "Olé", may have been spurred by his ex-employer Miles Davis's Sketches of Spain from the previous year. The structure and melody of the modal jazz vamp "Olé" was borrowed from the Spanish folk song "El Vito" (later used as the tune of "El Quinto Regimiento" from the Spanish Civil War, which was made known by Pete Seeger), while the soprano saxophone work recalled 1961's "My Favorite Things".

The titles for the songs on side two reflect the band's continued interest in African forms as expressed on the May 23 Africa/Brass recordings. McCoy Tyner commented: "On 'Dahomey Dance' [Coltrane] had a record of these guys who were from Dahomey, which is why he used two bassists. He showed that rhythm to Art Davis and Reggie Workman. So the influence was there." Tyner's "Aisha," a ballad, was named after the pianist's then-wife.

On September 19, 2000, Rhino Records reissued Olé Coltrane as part of its Atlantic 50th Anniversary Jazz Gallery series. Included was a single bonus track which had appeared on The Heavyweight Champion: The Complete Atlantic Recordings in 1995.

Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Lindsay Planer wrote: "The complicated rhythm patterns and diverse sonic textures on Olé Coltrane are evidence that John Coltrane was once again charting his own course. His sheer ability as a maverick -- beyond his appreciable musical skills -- guides works such as this to new levels, ultimately advancing the entire art form."

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars, noting that the presence of Hubbard "helped expand the timbral range, pointing to the new, more orchestrated sound Coltrane was interested in developing at the time," but cautioned: "interesting as it is episodically, Olé never quite holds the attention."

Writing for All About Jazz, John Ballon commented: "A transitional record, Olé Coltrane successfully navigates the line between Trane's sonically challenging later years and his earlier accessibility. A magnificent milestone in Trane's artistic growth, this is an essential recording for any collection."

In an article for Treble Zine, Jeff Terich stated: "You can point to any moment of Coltrane's playing on Olé and it would pretty much seal up why this hovers among the highest tier of the best John Coltrane albums. But it's how the entire ensemble works in harmony to create a stunning whole that this belongs not just in the ranks of the best John Coltrane albums, but jazz’s greatest albums as well."

Recording engineer Phil Ramone recalled that the recording session taught him a great deal about "how to condense a musical thought without diluting its coherence or artistic intention," and acknowledged that Coltrane's ability to self-edit affected the way he shaped other records with which he was involved.

In 1978, McCoy Tyner recorded a trio version of "Aisha" with bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams for the album Counterpoints.

In a 1998 interview for Fresh Air with Terry Gross, Ray Manzarek cited Coltrane’s Ole as an influence to his solo in The Doors’ song “Light My Fire.”

Ken Money

Kenneth Eric Money (January 4, 1935 – March 6, 2023) was a Canadian scientist specialising in the human ear and an Olympic high jumper. He worked at the Defence and Civil Institute of Environmental Medicine in Toronto. He published over one hundred science articles and authored six different topics in the World Book Encyclopedia.

Education
Money attended North Toronto Collegiate Institute for high school. He then enrolled at the University of Toronto and earned a Bachelor of Science in physiology and chemistry in 1958, a Master of Science in physiology in 1959, and a Ph.D. in physiology in 1961.

Sports
In 1956, Money competed in the Olympic Games and placed fifth in the high jump. His personal best in this event was 2.03 m.

Research
Some of his contributions in the scientific field include knowledge of the inner ear, motion sickness, disorientation, and biological effects of space flight. Other of Money's interests included badminton, skiing, acrobatic flying, skydiving, fishing, and reading.

Money was selected by the National Research Council of Canada as an astronaut candidate in December 1983, but left the Canadian Astronaut Corps in 1992 without having flown in space. He acted as Spacelab Payload Operations Controller for a Spacelab mission in 1992. During the same mission, Money served as the alternate astronaut, having the capability to fly if needed.

Money is credited with the invention of an experimental surgical operation called semicircular canal plugging, which is now being used in North America and Europe to treat particular types of dizzy spells. He also worked part-time as a professor of physiology for the University of Toronto and regularly lectured to undergraduate classes.

Personal life and death
Ken Money had a brother Bill, who predeceased him. Ken died at the Sunnybrook Veterans Centre in Toronto, on March 6, 2023. He was 88, and he was survived by his wife, Sheila Money (née Donnelly). They married around 1958 and had a daughter.

Awards and service
In 1994, he was awarded the Meritorious Service Cross by the Governor General of Canada for his many contributions to science and technology.

Money was also a member of the volunteer Board of Governors of the National Space Society, a non-profit space advocacy group founded by Wernher von Braun.

Rich Aurilia

Richard Santo Aurilia (born September 2, 1971) is an American former Major League Baseball shortstop who played for several teams between 1995 and 2009.

Amateur career
Aurilia was born in Brooklyn, New York and grew up a New York Mets fan. Before being drafted by Texas, Aurilia was a standout at St. John's University, where he represented the Red Storm as an All-Big East selection in 1992. In 1991, he played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Hyannis Mets.

Aurilia is also a graduate of Xaverian High School in Brooklyn, New York. He was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame, and his number 22 was retired by his local baseball league, Our Lady of Grace, where he played as a youngster in Gravesend, Brooklyn, New York.

Texas Rangers (1992–1994)
The 24th round pick of the Texas Rangers in the 1992 Major League Baseball draft, Aurilia played in the Rangers minor league system before being traded along with Desi Wilson to the San Francisco Giants for John Burkett on December 22, 1994. He had worked as a stagehand at the Metropolitan Opera House during the 1993–94 baseball offseason.

San Francisco Giants (1995–2003)
Aurilia made his Major League debut on September 6, 1995, as a defensive replacement in a game against the Montréal Expos. This would begin his long, solid run as the Giants shortstop. On June 14, 1997, during his first stint with the Giants, Aurilia hit the first-ever grand slam in interleague play at the expense of the Anaheim Angels' Allen Watson, a former teammate. The Giants went on to win the game 10–3. 2001 would prove to be a banner year for Aurilia as he collected a National League best 206 hits, all leading to a .324 batting average with 37 home runs, 97 RBI, an NL All-Star nod, and a Silver Slugger Award. However, his career best 37 home run year in 2001 was overshadowed by teammate Barry Bonds' record breaking 73 home runs in the same season.

From 1999 to 2001, he led NL shortstops in home runs. Production trailed off in 2002, but Aurilia shined once again in San Francisco's failed 2002 run for a World Series Championship. In 14 postseason games that season, he batted .296, with 5 home runs and 14 RBI (an NL record for a shortstop in the postseason). He also was a Roberto Clemente Award nominee.

Seattle Mariners (2004)
After offensive stagnation in 2003, the Giants severed their nine-year relation with the shortstop, granting him free agency on October 27. Soon after, Aurilia signed on with the Seattle Mariners to patrol the M's infield.

San Diego Padres (2004)
The lifetime National Leaguer could not get a grip on American League pitching, and was dealt to the San Diego Padres in July 2004. He continued to struggle in spacious Petco Park, and was not tendered a contract for 2005.

Cincinnati Reds (2005–2006)
Needing a veteran infielder, the Reds signed Aurilia to a minor league contract on January 22, 2005. The versatile infielder played well for the Reds, collecting 14 home runs and 68 RBI while playing games at shortstop, second base, and third base. The Reds then re-signed him on January 8, 2006.

Aurilia served as an everyday player rotating between shortstop, second base, first base and third base for the Reds in 2006. He finished the year with 23 home runs, 70 RBI, and a batting average of exactly .300—his highest in all three categories since 2001.

San Francisco Giants (2007–2009)
In the 2006 offseason, Aurilia signed a two-year, $8 million contract with his old team, the Giants. During the 2007 season, he appeared in 99 games (mostly at first base), starting in 81 of them. Aurilia was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a neck injury that had been slow to heal, limiting his range of movement and causing headaches. At the time, he was batting only .236 with two home runs. Aurilia returned to the Giants' lineup on July 4, hitting a home run in a 9–5 win over the Cincinnati Reds. He finished the season batting .252 with five home runs, 33 RBI, and a .304 on-base percentage. Aurilia posted better numbers in each of those categories during the 2008 season, where he remained generally healthy throughout the year, one factor that led him to have considerably more playing time (99 games started).

On February 9, 2009, Aurilia re-signed with the San Francisco Giants to a minor league deal. It was announced on April 4 that Aurilia had made the Giants final roster. He went on to appear in 60 games during the 2009 season, starting in 22 of them, playing either first or third base. There was considerable uncertainty whether Aurilia would stay with the team for the entire season, but he was placed on the DL twice in order to free up a roster spot long enough for the September roster expansion. Knowing that the organization would not be bringing him back for the 2010 season, Aurilia played his final game as a Giant on October 1 at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks, receiving standing ovations from the home fans in appreciation for 12 years with the team.

Retirement
Aurilia announced his retirement on April 11, 2010. He is currently a member of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Career statistics
In 1652 games over 15 seasons, Aurilia posted a .275 batting average (1576-for-5721) with 745 runs, 301 doubles, 22 triples, 186 home runs, 756 RBI, 450 bases on balls, .328 on-base percentage and .433 slugging percentage. He finished his career with a .976 fielding percentage playing at shortstop, first, second and third base. In 25 postseason games, he hit .224 (22-for-98) with 17 runs, 6 doubles, 6 home runs, 18 RBI and 7 walks.

Personal life
He finished second in a pro on pro challenge on Guy's Grocery Games on September 20, 2015. His charity was the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Aurilia married Raquel Garcia on January 18, 1997, with whom he has two sons: Chaz Aiden, (born August 18, 2001) and Gavin Shea, (born October 1, 2003). Both he and his wife appeared as Jurors No. 9 and 10 in episodes of General Hospital which aired on December 11 and 12, 2003. The storyline was the trial of Sonny Corinthos, played by Maurice Benard who made the arrangement possible and is a cousin of Aurilia's Giants teammate Marvin Benard.

He and his family reside in homes in Healdsburg, California and Phoenix, Arizona.

Talk:Mandara Kingdom

Muhammad Ahmad
I believe that the info about Muhammad Ahmad of Sudan is wrong. Can be refered to any son of Muhammad Amin of Bornu Kanembu dinasty, but of course Muhammad Ahmad never was and never acted in Camerun. The article must be corrected and also the entry refered previousely. Jolle (talk) 17:10, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Verification
I'm having trouble verifying this information (these two rulers don't seem to be included in lists of rulers either here or here), so I'm moving it to here pending referencing:

"The Mandara kingdom was composed of a number of uncoordinated city states until Abdul Ali Atuk united them into a very wealthy kingdom. Atuk built roads using his enemies' warriors as slave labour.  This had a particular advantage over "average" slaves becuase slaves who used to be in the military were much stronger than others.  He is believed to have had 3 wives and many sons.  It is widely believed that he went to Mecca for Hajj but there remains a lack of information how he got there and the exact year he went.

"After his Hajj, Atuk became a feverant Muslim and claimed that he was a decendant of Muhammad the prophet. He converted his empire to Islam partly because of his Hajj and pressure from other strong Muslim nations in the region.  One of Atuk's sons was caught and killed in a slave raid when he was on a trip in Western Africa.  Atuk then spent the rest of his life trying to break up the slave trade until his death.  His greatest victory was that against Portuguese slave raiders in the Congo and an invasion of French west Africa which resulted in many slaves and people in forced labour camps being set free.

"Atuk was suceeded by his grandson, Majean Isn Atuk, who by the end of his reign watched the empire his father built recollapse into city states. Majean was assassinated by an unknown group of men.  It is commonly believed that chiefs of western city states killed him because he was against the slave trade like his grandfather.  The city state chief were believed to have been approached by France or Belgium and offered large sums of money in exchange for slaves." --Dvyost 22:42, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I added what I could from the sources I have available. Unfortunately, none of them mentions anything from the paragraphs you deleted. The second and third paragraphs in particular sound like nonsense, but I could be wrong, I suppose . . . . BrianSmithson 21:26, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
