Sponge Cola

Sponge Cola (sometimes spelled Spongecola) is a Filipino rock band formed in 2002. The band is composed of Yael Yuzon on vocals and guitars, Gosh Dilay on bass, Armo Armovit on guitars and drummer Tedmark Cruz.

One of the most popular rock bands in the Philippines, Sponge Cola has produced a number of hit songs, including "Jeepney", "KLSP", "Gemini", "Bitiw", "Tuliro", "Di Na Mababawi", "Tambay", "Kay Tagal Kitang Hinintay", and "XGF". The band's debut album, Palabas, was released in 2004. It was followed by Transit (2006) and Sponge Cola (2008), the latter of which was the last to feature their original drummer Chris Cantada. The band has released a total of seven albums to date, as well as several extended plays (EPs). Their eighth full-length album, Hometown, was released on December 14, 2022.

Formation and early years
The band formed between 1998 and 2002. Ysmael "Yael" Yuzon and Reynaldo "Gosh" Dilay, both from Ateneo de Manila High School, met through the school's theatre guild, Teatro Baguntao. Yuzon decided to form a band with Dilay and two other members of Teatro Baguntao. They named the group "Sponge", after R.S. Surtees' Mr. Sponge Sporting Tour, and the band won in several high school competitions, boosting their popularity on campuses.

After a couple of lineup changes, drummer Christopher "Chris" Cantada and Rampqueen guitarist Erwin "Armo" Armovit joined the band permanently. Later on, the band heard of a Detroit grunge band already using the name Sponge. "But we wanted to keep the word Sponge in our band name because people have already associated us with that name...so we decided to add 'Cola', since it's an easy enough word to remember," Yuzon said. Sponge Cola was officially formed in summer of 2003.

In the midst of touring the healthy local gig circuit during their senior year in high school, they released a 5-track, all-original, self-titled EP in 2003. It is from here that critics and music aficionados immediately took note of the songs "Lunes" (Monday) and "Jeepney", slowly creating a buzz in the Philippine underground music scene.

In the same year, the band performed a cover of Madonna's seminal classic "Crazy for You", a bootlegged copy of which was shared and downloaded immensely via peer-to-peer networks.

This, along with the EP, helped the band break into mainstream consciousness and popularity, gaining extensive airplay from several local pop and rock music radio stations.

Palabas and mainstream success (2004–2006)
In 2004, Sponge Cola signed a record distribution deal with Sony BMG Philippines and released their first full-length debut album entitled Palabas (The Show), an allusion to their roots in theatre. "KLSP", the album's lead single, further spread the band's name all over the Original Pilipino Music (OPM) market, gaining heavy airplay in local radio stations and music channels.

Other hits include the Shakespeare-inspired "Gemini", "Una" (The First), and a remastered "Jeepney", all hitting the number 1 spot in various music charts in the Philippines. This, along with a slew of other releases from other OPM bands, spearheaded the resurgence of Pinoy rock, and revitalized OPM as a whole.

After a subsequent repackaged release the following year, Palabas was certified Gold in 2005.

Transit (2006–2008)
The band's second full-length CD, Transit, was released in 2006 under Universal Records. The album was certified gold in less than four months after release, mainly due to the success of lead single "Bitiw" (Let Go), which enjoyed massive radio and television airplay. The song also became the theme song of the ABS-CBN television series Pedro Penduko. The album's second and third singles, "Tuliro" (Dumbfounded) and "Pasubali" (Conditions), were hits in their own right, and proved to be two of the band's most requested during their live sets.

Sponge Cola also contributed to three tribute albums. They recorded covers of the Eraserheads hit, "Pare Ko", on Ultraelectromagneticjam, and APO Hiking Society's classics "Nakapagtataka" and "Saan Na Nga Ba'ng Barkada" on the tribute albums Kami nAPO muna and Kami nAPO Muna ULIT respectively.

The band won four awards in the 2007 MYX Music Awards, besting other OPM acts in both the Favorite Artist and Favorite Group categories, while "Bitiw" was voted as both the Favorite Song and Favorite Rock Video. In the same year, ABS-CBN once again tapped Sponge Cola for the theme song of Pedro Penduko at ang mga Engkantao, "Tuloy Pa Rin". The band was also featured in the MYX show Myxellaneous, following their fast evolution from young upstarts to one of the more stellar acts in the Philippine rock music scene.

The single "Pasubali" was released in 2008, along with a deluxe edition of Transit, and was used as the theme song for ABS-CBN's airing of the Koreanovela Lovers. Transit 's deluxe edition included a bonus AVCHD featuring "Tuloy Pa Rin", "Nakapagtataka", "Tuliro (Semi-Emo Version)", "Pasubali (Acoustic Version)", "Intercept", and "Pasubali (Radio Edit)". It also included the music videos of "Bitiw", "Nakapagtataka", "Tuliro", "Tuloy Pa Rin", "Movie", and "Pasubali", and hit platinum a week after release.

Self-titled album (2008–2010)
The band released their third album, the eponymous Sponge Cola, in September 2008. The self-titled record was a success both critically and commercially, led by the official theme song for Season 71 of the UAAP – "Puso" (Heart). The song would continue to be the league's anthem in the next four years. Other singles from the album included the massive hit "Di Na Mababawi" (You Can't Take it Back), "Wala Kang Katulad" (You Are Like No Other), "Makapiling Ka" (To Be With You), and "Ayt!" (a collaboration with Gary Valenciano). The band also re-recorded Gino Padilla's classic "Closer You and I" for Close-Up Toothpaste.

During the recording of the album, Chris Cantada left the band, citing the heavy touring as contributing to his health problems. A handful of drummers joined the band on tours, most notably Pupil's Wendell Garcia. By 2009, Tedmark "Tmac" Cruz signed on as the band's official drummer.

Sponge Cola became the first Philippine band to release its new album in mp3 and mp4 format. All songs, including those in past albums, were included in the music players launched on January 4, 2009, with "'Di Na Mababawi" on the variety show ASAP.

Tambay EP, Araw Oras Tagpuan, District EP (2010–2012)
In late 2011, the band released their fourth full-length studio album under Universal Records. Entitled Araw Oras Tagpuan (Day Time Setting), it contains 12 tracks, including songs from the band's Tambay (Hanging Out) EP, released earlier in 2010 via a Coca-Cola promo. The outstanding sales of Tambay and Araw Oras Tagpuan gave Sponge Cola a diamond record award as the lastter sold over 200,000 units that summer. Araw Oras Tagpuan featured the lead single "Tambay", and following singles "Araw Oras Tagpuan", "Regal", "Kay Tagal Kitang Hinintay", and "Stargazer".

Former drummer Chris Cantada had a cameo guest appearance in the music video for "Tambay". Fran of RX 93.1, Kim Marvilla of defunct radio station NU 107, film director Wincy Aquino Ong, and singer Zia Quizon also appear in the said video, which, according to the band, pays homage to the film franchise Back to the Future.

In September of the following year, the band's six-track District EP was released, with lead single "XGF" featuring Parokya ni Edgar vocalist Chito Miranda and rapper Los Magno. Shortly after its release, "XGF" became the top download of MyMusicStore for seven weeks. Considered fresh and innovative, District also ruled the sales charts of local record store Odyssey upon release.

Other singles "Mahaba pa ang Gabi" (The Night is Young) and "Pick Your Poison" enjoyed success as well, and the latter was used for GMA Films' Metro Manila Film Festival entry Sosy Problems.

Ultrablessed and Thank You (2014–2016)
Sponge Cola released their fifth album, Ultrablessed, on January 31, 2014. The same day they release their first DVD concert called "Maximum Capacity" which was recorded last July 19, 2013. On February 14, 2015, a repackaged version of the album, the Ultrablessed "Thank You Edition", was released; this edition of the album includes the single "Move On", featuring Jane Oineza.

Sinag Tala (2016)
Following Ultrablessed, Sponge Cola released two EPs: #Sinag and #Tala. These were later combined into Sinag Tala, an 11-song LP that contains the singles Bahaghari and Butterflies, along with crowd favorites Coda and Pag-Ibig.

Pag-Ibig is the opening theme song of Dangwa, a romance drama series that aired on GMA from 2015 to 2016, and starred Janine Gutierrez.

Sea of Lights (2019)
Sponge Cola took to the road following the release of Sinag Tala, playing across The Philippines and abroad to promote their latest material. New songs were written throughout this two-year period, and the band were in and out of the studio again to work on what would become Sea of Lights. The band worked at Tower of Doom with Eric Perlas as producer.

Sea of Lights contains the singles Kunwari, Tempura, and Manila Bay.

Singles and upcoming album (2020–present)
After promoting Sea of Lights with another packed year of stadium and festival shows, the COVID-19 pandemic started in December 2019, grounding all live music to a halt. The band took a short break from touring and started spending more time writing new songs. The band had also just signed on to Sony Music Philippines so an album was on order.

Sponge Cola released Lumipas Ang Tag-Araw in July 2020, the first single from their upcoming album. The band recorded their parts at home separately, sending each other files until they had the song finished. According to Armo, "It's a story of connection in separation, and how we can be a source of comfort for each other during difficult times". The song is mixed and produced by Angee Rozul.

Following Lumipas Ang Tag-Araw (and with COVID-19 lockdowns in Manila lifted) the band went into the studio in August 2020 to write music together for their album. This time the boys worked with producer DJ Joey Santos at his Love One Another Sound Production studio, and in December 2020 they released Siguro Nga. Siguro Nga is a song inspired by the K-Drama Start Up starring Kim Seon-Ho and Bae Suzy.

The band continued to hammer away at new music, and in 2021 released the singles Labis-Labis and JAIRAH. JAIRAH was written by Agassi Ching for his then-girlfriend (now fiancee) Jai Asuncion. Yael liked it and helped produce the song, turning the track into a sunny 90s driving soundtrack.

Sponge Cola also released Alamat in late 2021, the theme song for the Mobile Legends 5th Anniversary celebration. The track fused an edgy electronica-meets-trap sound with the band's signature anthemic hooks. The music video features streaming celebrities Mika Salamanca, Akosi Dogie, Benedict Repaso, and more. Heartthrob Daniel Padilla also makes an appearance in the video.

In January 2022 the band released Kung Ako Ang Pumiling Tapusin Ito. The song was actually the first track that they worked on with DJ Joey Santos back in 2020, but it was only finished a year later. "Some songs need to simmer—to evolve and mature so they can reach their full potential. This is one such song. It benefitted from hindsight and just being able to go back and tweak instruments and refine production details," says Santos. The music video for Kung Ako Ang Pumiling Tapusin Ito features actress Heaven Peralejo.

Ansumane Mané

Ansumane Mané (c. 1940 – 30 November 2000) was a Bissau-Guinean soldier who led a 1998 uprising against the government of President João Bernardo Vieira, which caused a brief but bloody civil war.

Mané participated in the independence war against Portugal where he was Vieira's bodyguard. A close ally of Vieira, he backed him in the 1980 coup against Guinea Bissau President Luís Cabral. Mané was head of the armed forces of Guinea Bissau during Vieira's presidency before Vieira sacked him in 1998, accusing him of smuggling arms to Casamance separatist rebels in Senegal. Mané subsequently mobilized the troops formerly under his command and led a rebellion against Vieira.

Early life
Mané is of the Mandinga ethnicity.

Military background
Mané fought in the war of independence from Portugal alongside Vieira. Mané was Vieira's bodyguard. He backed Nino Vieira when they later seized power in a 1980 coup against Luís Cabral.

In early 1998, he was suspended as Chief of Staff of the armed forces for allegedly smuggling arms to Casamance separatist rebels in Senegal. In a letter published in early April 1998, he in turn made the same accusation against the Minister of Defense, Samba Lamine Mané, and other officers; he also alleged that Vieira had permitted the arms smuggling and claimed that he was suspended as Chief of Staff in connection with "shady plan to mount a coup d'état". According to Birgit Embaló, soldiers and war veterans in Guinea Bissau were upset at their pay, leading the military to self-finance itself through smuggling.

Mané was subsequently dismissed by Vieira and replaced by General Humberto Gomes on 6 June 1998. He led a military rebellion against Vieira on the following day, resulting in the civil war. A peace agreement in November 1998 provided for a transitional national unity government and new elections.

After Vieira was deposed on 7 May 1999 in a renewed outbreak of fighting,  Mané became temporary head of state (official title: Chairman of the Supreme Command of the Military Junta) until 14 May when Malam Bacai Sanhá, the president of the National People's Assembly, was installed as acting president.

Political growth
The military junta headed by Mané remained in place during the transitional period leading to new elections; Mané cast himself as a guardian of democracy. A parliamentary election, along with the first round of a presidential election, was held on 28 November 1999. Two weeks prior to this, Mané's junta proposed an arrangement giving it power over the government for ten years, which would enable it to dissolve the government in case of a severe political crisis; however, political parties objected to this and the proposal was dropped. Although the junta backed the presidential candidacy of Malam Bacai Sanhá of the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) in the second round of the election, held in January 2000, Kumba Ialá of the Party for Social Renewal (PRS) was victorious. Prior to the election, Ialá had already said that it would not be acceptable for the junta to remain in any capacity.

Downfall and death
Although the junta was dissolved following Ialá's victory, Mané remained powerful, acting as an obstacle to Ialá's authority. At one point he refused to allow Ialá to go to Senegal on a state visit; he also accompanied Ialá on a visit to Nigeria. In November 2000, Ialá promoted a number of senior military officers; Mané objected to the promotions and declared himself head of the armed forces. He revoked Ialá's promotions, placed military chief of staff Verísssimo Correia Seabra and deputy chief of staff Emílio Costa under house arrest, and appointed General Buota Nan Batcha as the new chief of staff. When issuing a communique claiming that the situation was calm, he signed it as the head of the junta, which had previously been dissolved when Ialá was elected president. Fighting broke out on 23 November between forces loyal to Mané and those loyal to Seabra. The government subsequently said that Mané fled to Quinhamel in Biombo Region, in the west of the country.

General Mané was assassinated by forces loyal to the then president Kumba Ialá and General Batista Tagme Na Waie in Biombo Region a week later, on 30 November 2000, along with two others. General Mané did not put up a fight against the Balanta tribe troops. Although state television broadcast images of three bodies, these were deemed unrecognizable by the international media. The opposition PAIGC said that Mané was correct to oppose the promotions.

Among Mané's most prominent allies was Naval Chief of Staff Mohamed Lamine Sanha who was also assassinated a few years later.

Apsley, Victoria

Apsley is a town in Victoria, Australia. It is on the Wimmera Highway, in the Shire of West Wimmera, 420 kilometres north-west of Melbourne, and 7 kilometres east of the South Australian border. The town is named after Apsley House in London. It was surveyed in 1851 and proclaimed in 1852, a Post Office opening on 1 January 1854 replacing that of Lake Wallace (open since 1 March 1849) nearer what is now Edenhope serving the grazing population.

The population at the 2016 census was 277. The town is close to Lake Bringalbert and Newlands Lake, and the Saint Gregory's Vineyard, which specialises in port wine.

Apsley had a football club that competed in the Kowree Naracoorte Football League from 1937. Later this would become the Kowree Naracoorte Tatiara Football League where Apsley competed until 1998, when they merged with Edenhope. Since 2007 Edenhope Apsley have played in the Horsham & District Football League. Apsley's best known sportspersons were footballers Reg Burgess, who played for the Essendon Football Club, Murrie Batt, who played for the Collingwood Football Club, 2020 and 2023 Brownlow Medalist Lachie Neale, who currently plays for the Brisbane Lions Football Club and hockey players Hattie Shand and Lachlan Busiko who play representing for Australia.

A large Red-flowering Gum on Wallace Street is listed on the National Trust of Australia's Significant Tree Register for Victoria.

Golfers play at the Apsley Golf Club on the Wimmera Highway.

In 2014, 12 farm families banded together to buy the pub. The Border Inn Hotel has completed an extensive renovation, and has a small attached general store for the town, which has recently opened.

The township also has a state primary school.

Graduated???
"and went to the local Orleans Park School, from which he graduated in 1984"

I don't think I've ever heard that expression used in this context for the UK? Does this secondary school "graduate" it students? MRSC 08:16, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

really necessary? How likely is it to be useful? How many other articles have this kind of thing ("For other people and things named 'John', see...")?

Plus it comes across as a bit patronising...

JetStream

JetStream and Mobile JetStream are two former brand names used by Spark New Zealand (at the time known as Telecom) to market its retail and resale ADSL-based fixed line and CDMA2000-based 3G wireless Internet access offerings respectively. The retail ADSL offering from its own Internet service provider, Xtra, was commonly referred to by the company as Xtra Broadband. "Jetstream" is no longer used, and was later replaced with "Ultra" for their Broadband and Mobile offerings. Xtra branding was retired in 2008.

Retail ADSL offerings (using Telecom's network) from non-Telecom ISPs such as Vodafone and Slingshot (ISP) were often sold under the resale option. The Jetstream partnering program was retired in August 2005. Resellers were then migrated to retail plans that either use Telecom's wholesaled WBS or UBS ADSL offerings.

VDSL and Fibre broadband started becoming more popular options in 2014, eventually being overtaken by fibre, offered by Chorus, a lines company that was spun off from Telecom in 2011.

Steve Watson

Steven Craig Watson (born 1 April 1974) is an English football manager and former professional player who is manager of club Darlington.

As a player, he was a right-back or midfielder. He played in the Premier League and Football League for Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Everton, West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield Wednesday. He was capped once by the England national B team, having previously played twelve times and scored once for the under-21s.

Watson moved into coaching after retiring from playing and was appointed as an academy coach at Huddersfield Town under former teammate Lee Clark in 2010. He then followed Clark to Birmingham City before a spell as assistant manager of Macclesfield Town. He was given his first managerial role in 2017 when he joined Gateshead, before becoming York City manager in 2019. He left the club in 2021 and spent four months as manager of Chester before joining Darlington in December 2023.

Newcastle United
Watson was born in North Shields, Tyne and Wear. He began his career with Newcastle United, playing on a regular basis. At the time of his first-team debut, as a substitute in a 2–1 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers on 10 November 1990, he was the youngest person ever to play for Newcastle, a record that still stands. Watson appeared 24 times that season, firstly under Jim Smith and then under Ossie Ardiles as Newcastle struggled in the Second Division.

Watson featured prominently during the 1991–92 season as Kevin Keegan returned to Newcastle and relegation to the Third Division was avoided. During his seven years at the club, he wore a jersey with every shirt number 2–11 at least once, earning a reputation as a key all round capable footballer integral to The Entertainers style of play. He came on as a 77th-minute substitute at Wembley Stadium in the 1998 FA Cup Final, in which Newcastle were beaten 2–0 by Arsenal.

Aston Villa, Everton and West Bromwich Albion
Watson was transferred to Aston Villa for £4 million in October 1998. He scored once for Villa, in a 4–0 home win over Southampton on 1 December 1999 in the League Cup.

He moved to Everton on 4 July 2000 on a five-year contract for a £2.5 million transfer fee. When boss Walter Smith found his squad decimated by injury, Watson was used a striker alongside Tomasz Radzinski, a role he had started to play at the beginning of his career before transferring to the defence. His time with Everton was blighted with injury, although he did enjoy some time in the first team for the 2003–04 season, which included three goals against Leeds United on 28 September 2003. This made him the first Everton player to score a hat-trick in any competition since Nick Barmby in February 2000.

Watson signed for West Bromwich Albion on 5 July 2005 on a three-year contract on a free transfer, after rejecting the offer of a new one-year contract with Everton. He made his debut as an 80th-minute substitute in a 0–0 draw away to Manchester City on 13 August. His only goal for the club came on 2 January 2006, with a shot that came after receiving the ball from Jonathan Greening in the 77th minute of a 2–1 home defeat to Aston Villa.

Sheffield Wednesday

Watson joined Sheffield Wednesday on 9 February 2007 on loan until the end of the 2006–07 season, with opportunities at West Brom limited. He made his debut the following day, starting in a 1–1 draw away to Burnley. Before he joined them, Wednesday had lost five matches in a row. However, they won six, drew four and only lost once when Watson was in the team. He was re-called by West Brom on 26 April with two matches remaining as cover for the injured Curtis Davies and the suspended Neil Clement. Watson signed for Wednesday permanently on 10 July 2007 on a free transfer. His first goal for the club came on 6 November with an equaliser in the fifth minute of stoppage time as Wednesday drew 1–1 away to West Brom.

Watson succeeded Lee Bullen as club captain for the 2008–09 season, taking charge of off-the-field matters, with Richard Wood retaining his role as team captain and being responsible for on-the-field affairs. Watson scored the winner in the Steel City derby against Sheffield United on 19 October; his volleyed lob over Paddy Kenny in the 35th minute gave Wednesday a 1–0 win. Sheffield Wednesday decided to release Watson on 14 May 2009 due to long-term injury problems. He subsequently retired from playing.

Coaching and managerial career
Watson was appointed as development coach at League One club Huddersfield Town on 13 November 2010, joining up with his former Newcastle teammate Lee Clark. Watson was appointed as a coach at Birmingham City of the Championship on 24 August 2012. He was dismissed along with Clark on 20 October 2014. He was appointed as the assistant manager at National League club Macclesfield Town on 4 July 2016.

Watson was appointed as the manager of National League club Gateshead on 10 October 2017. He was appointed as the manager of National League North club York City on 10 January 2019, succeeding Sam Collins who was dismissed with the team 15th in the table. Watson was joined at the club by Micky Cummins, his assistant at Gateshead. He was awarded the National League North Manager of the Month award for October 2021 after three wins from four in the league. He left the club on 13 November.

Watson was appointed manager of National League North club Chester on 23 December 2021, initially on a contract until the end of the 2021–22 season. On 28 April 2022, the club confirmed that Watson would leave his role as manager at the end of the season by mutual consent.

Watson joined another National League club, Darlington, as manager on 31 December 2023. His contract initially ran until the end of the season. After successfully steering them clear of the relegation positions, he and assistant manager Terry Mitchell signed two-year contract extensions. For his impressive end to the season, Watson was named National League North Manager of the Month for April 2024.

Talk:Task Force 121

Im taking out the part of 40 Operators from Delta Force/Green Berets. There is no connection between SF and Delta (sorry to all you SF out there). And two, there are no SF (Green Beret) units on staff in ANY of the JSOC led Task Forces (not 121, 20, 356, 6-26, 145, etc). So Im taking out the part about the Green Berets. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.101.176.248 (talk) 16:31, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Last two major edits were mine, while not logged in. opelwerk 08:29, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

The article reminds me alot like the text found on http://students.engr.scu.edu/~jabraham/specwar/specops/us/tf121/page1.html, is that a coincidence or did they copy wiki or did the author of the wiki article copy from the site?--84.217.145.49 00:37, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Clean Up Time
Not happy with this one. It is all a jumble with all kinds of little errors that military people with snort at, and then it misses the real story, which is that Task Force 121 is JSOC intelligence and operations arm that got into controversy in Iraq. I think there are two sections to the article that needs to emerge: first, the who's who in the zoo, and then the story of the recent controversy, where 121 were reported to have used "fear up harsh" tactics that did not stop the insurgency (or, if you listen to the 121 guys, the problem is their hands were tied by higher ups. It's a serious issue with implications for how we fight forward in Aghanistan and while it can't be explored deeply here, it should be succinctly referenced. 68.174.133.176 (talk) 02:53, 5 September 2010 (UTC)Timoleon

Notable personnel
[This section miselads as it does not actually name any members of TF 121]

Key people involved in TF 121 and its successors have included:
 * Craig Edward Ennis, Special Advisor for Covert Operations, was the author of Task Force 121, Task Force 20, and Task Force 120
 * John Abizaid, reported to be responsible for forming TF121
 * Donald Rumsfeld and George Tenet approved its creation.
 * Stephen Cambone, assistant to Rumsfeld.
 * Vice Admiral Lowell E. Jacoby, DIA head
 * Rear Admiral Bill McRaven
 * Air Force Brigadier General Lyle Koenig

 * Lt. Richard A. Van Patten

"Achievements"
Isn't this section superfluous? There seem to be no verified info on any "Achievements", i.e. real achievements for this "Taskforce". What is mentioned is a major failure and not a success for the "Taskforce". As far as all too many saw it, the finding and elimination of the Hussein boys, Uday and Qusay, was more a straight forward botch-up job in the style of Waco. Both the "HVT"s were eliminated with headshots/double taps, meaning the operators got close enough to actually eliminate them up close and personal. To list this in an "Achievements" section is correct but points more to their incompetency rather than their competency. It is sad to see such a cock-up be seen as a propaganda victory when it looked more like a convenient elimination of sources of information. That it is mentioned as the more or less only case of their "Achievements" is even more tragic as these are highly trained professionals in their countries' service. The need for secrecy may be paramount in the "war on terror" but this seems to have been something utterly different... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Torbjorn.Niemand (talk • contribs) 08:36, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Assassinations
Why is there no mention of the 2009 New Yorker article linking this group to illegal assassinations? Even if this is disputed, shouldn't it be at least mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.69.158.250 (talk) 16:51, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

its not disputed. thats literally all they do. assassinate HVTs. legally. enemy combatants can be killed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.213.246.201 (talk) 17:53, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Task Force 121 Structure
On occasions, operators from Coalition nations (particularly British and Australian SAS, Norwegian Marinejegerkommandoen, Canadian JTF2 and Polish GROM operators) augment the TF121 and provide direct and indirect operational assistance. On Occasions? Task Force Black (Tier 1 operators SAS/SBS) was a integral part of 121 from inception policing up incredible amounts of intel and practising find/formulate/fix (x3F) on many occasions starting with Operation Paradoxical and killing or capturing 3,500 insurgents in under three years.Twobells (talk) 12:10, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Daria Nicolodi

Daria Nicolodi (19 June 1950 – 26 November 2020) was an Italian television and film actress and screenwriter, and associated mostly with the films of director Dario Argento.

Early life and career
Daria Nicolodi was born in Florence on 19 June 1950. Her father was a Florentine lawyer and her mother, Fulvia, was a scholar of ancient languages. Her maternal grandfather was composer Alfredo Casella. She moved to Rome in the late 1960s.

In 1970, she participated in the television variety show Babau which was shelved and only broadcast by RAI six years later. She gave her screen debut the same year in Francesco Rosi's Many Wars Ago. In 1973, she starred in Elio Petri's Property Is No Longer a Theft. She also appeared in TV productions, such as the miniseries Nicotera, Without a Trace with Rossano Brazzi (1972), Portrait of a Veiled Woman with Nino Castelnuovo (1975), the drama Saturnino Farandola with Mariano Rigillo (1978), and Rosaura at 10 (1981).

Nicolodi starred in five films directed by Dario Argento between 1975 and 1987: Deep Red (1975), Inferno (1980), Tenebrae (1982), Phenomena (1985) and Opera (1987). She later stressed that the screenplays for Argento's Suspiria and Inferno owed many ideas to her authorship, but received writing credit only for the former. During this time, she also appeared in Shock, the final film of Italian horror director Mario Bava. After her relationship with Argento ended in 1985, Nicolodi participated in such films as Macaroni, Notes of Love and her daughter Asia Argento's Scarlet Diva. In 2007, Nicolodi worked with Asia on Dario Argento's Mother of Tears, the sequel to Suspiria and Inferno.

Personal life
In the early 1970s, she had a relationship with the sculptor Mario Ceroli. They had a daughter, Anna, who was born in 1972 and died in a 1994 traffic accident. Nicolodi had a professional and private relationship with director Dario Argento; they met in 1974 during casting for the film Deep Red, and their daughter Asia was born in 1975. They separated in 1985.

Nicolodi died in Rome on 26 November 2020 at the age of 70 from undisclosed causes.

Legacy
In 2012, the retrospective Argento: Il Cinema Nel Sangue was held at the Museum of Arts and Design, New York. It highlighted Nicolodi's contribution to Dario Argento's films as well as that of his father (Salvatore), brother (Claudio) and daughter (Asia).

Manuel Saturnino da Costa

Manuel Saturnino da Costa (29 November 1942 – 10 March 2021) was a Bissau-Guinean politician who served as Prime Minister of Guinea-Bissau from 26 October 1994 to 6 June 1997.

Biography
From 1977 he was in the Foreign Office, as the ambassador in Cuba and the USSR.

During the presidency of João Bernardo Vieira, who had come to power in 1980 through a coup, he became General Secretary of the PAIGC.

Following the victory of the PAIGC in the 1994 parliamentary election, Vieira  appointed Saturnino da Costa, who was then Secretary-General of PAIGC, as Prime Minister on 25 October 1994. Da Costa formed a government on 18 November that was almost entirely composed of PAIGC members, although one post was given to the Bafata Movement.

Following the ouster of President Vieira in May 1999, da Costa was named acting President of PAIGC on 12 May 1999. Francisco Benante was elected to replace him as PAIGC President in September 1999.

After Kumba Ialá took office as President, da Costa was arrested, along with another former Prime Minister, Carlos Correia (who both preceded and succeeded him as Prime Minister), and four other former ministers, in February 2000. It was alleged that two government bonds were issued without parliamentary approval three years prior; according to Saturnino da Costa and Correia, who were released on bail, the bonds were intended to provide funds for national development. He was acquitted of embezzlement in June 2003.

In the November 2008 legislative election, PAIGC won a majority of 67 out of 100 seats in the National People's Assembly, and Saturnino da Costa was elected to a seat as a PAIGC candidate in the first constituency, Catio e Como. Following the election, he was appointed Minister of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers on January 7, 2009.

Saturnino da Costa sought the nomination as PAIGC's candidate for the June 2009 presidential election, but in a vote on April 25, 2009, the PAIGC Central Committee chose Malam Bacai Sanhá as the party's candidate. He was replaced in his post as Minister of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers and dismissed from the government on October 28, 2009.

Saturnino da Costa died on 10 March 2021 in Bissau, aged 78.

Tiger-Man

Tiger-Man is a tiger-themed superhero who appeared in a self-titled series published by Atlas/Seaboard Comics in 1975.

Publication history
The first appearance of "Tiger-Man" was in the first issue of Thrilling Adventure Stories, February 1975, a black and white magazine. The story was written by John Albano with art by Ernie Colón.

The first issue of Tiger-Man was published with a cover date of April 1975. The writing credit is given to Gabe Levy with the artwork credited to Ernie Colón. The next two issues were cover-dated June and September 1975. Gerry Conway is credited as the writer for these two issues. Steve Ditko is given solo credit as the artist for issue #2 and given a co-credit with Al Milgrom for issue #3. Tiger-Man was cancelled after three issues.

Fictional character biography
Tiger-Man is Dr. Lancaster Hill, a scientist who has isolated the chromosomes that give the tiger its strength and agility. He is in Africa while performing his 2-year internship, working from a village in Zambia that has been using the services of a local witch doctor named Na'Bantu. When the Na'Bantu has a conversation with the village chief, he seeks to punish Dr. Hill for having caused the villagers to doubt his ability to treat their medical problems. Overly eager to see the results of his work, Dr. Hill injects himself with a solution containing the tiger chromosomes. He feels his strength, agility and ferocity increase to that of a tiger. That night, a jealous Na'Bantu releases the tiger that Dr. Hill has been performing experiments on and when Dr. Hill is leaving his tent, the tiger attacks but Dr. Hill meets the attack with his new abilities and kills the tiger. Within the time that it takes to finish his internship, the chief presents Dr. Hill with a costume made from the hide of the attacking tiger and tells Dr. Hill that wearing it will increase his cunning. Dr. Hill then departs for the states.

Upon his return to the United States, Dr. Hill is picked up from the airport by his sister Anna, who informs him that he received an offer letter to start practicing medicine at the Harlem Hospital on the following Monday. Dr. Hill is dropped off at home by his sister and she goes off to theater rehearsal, where she is murdered by two visiting rodeo cowboys. Dr. Hill is called to the crime scene and is shown the evidence of a torn piece of fabric that his sister clutched in her hand, and told of a phone call she made to the police where she says the word "bald" over and over as she dies. Dr. Hill picks up the scent on the fabric and realizes that it smells of horses. Dr. Hill dons his Tiger-Man costume and sets out to track down his sister's killer. While searching for the killer, Tiger-Man stumbles across two thugs trying to mug a nurse. Tiger-Man stops them with very deadly force and warns the nurse about walking at night in the city.

After tracking down the bald cowboy to a visiting rodeo, Tiger-Man realizes that the scent on the cloth is not completely his and that he must have had an accomplice. Tiger-Man follows the bald cowboy to a bar and attacks the two cowboys, but he still feels unfulfilled afterward. He decides to use his powers to hunt down criminals.

Dr. Hill starts practicing medicine at the Harlem Hospital, but at night he patrols the city looking for wrong-doers. He stumbles upon a pack of bank robbers who are wearing electrified suits that repel bullets, but also electrocute anyone that the wearers touch. In this case, they electrocute two police officers who try to prevent them from getting away from the scene of the robbery. Tiger-Man comes in on the tail end of the attack and exacts his revenge against the robbers and interrogates one of them to find out where they got their suits from. One of them finally gives him the name of Dr. Kobart. Tiger-Man departs leaving one of the criminals alive who faints.

Unknown to Tiger-Man he is being watched and pursued by the Blue Leopard, another enhanced person from the Zambian village he did his internship at. The Blue Leopard attacks Tiger-Man and though they very evenly matched, his claws are laced with drugs that cause Tiger-Man to pass out. The Blue Leopard warns Tiger-Man that this was only a dress rehearsal for the ending battle where his claws will be laced with poison instead of just a sedative. He then departs leaving Tiger-Man to sleep through to the next day. Tiger-Man awakens at around noon the next day and rushes from rooftop to rooftop to get to the Harlem Hospital to begin his shift. While working, Dr. Hill is consumed by the events of the previous day and contemplates what to do about the Blue Leopard. Seeing no way of finding him, Dr. Hill decides to pay a visit to Dr. Kobart. Once he has found him, he is surprised to see the Blue Leopard has killed him and framed Tiger-Man for the crime. While Tiger-Man is investigating the crime scene, the Blue Leopard appears in the window and tells Tiger-Man his origin. The Blue Leopard is a member of the village in Zambia that Dr. Hill did his internship. After Dr. Hill left the village at the end of his internship, people started to starve to death and Na'Bantu the witch doctor blamed Dr. Hill and his white man's medicine. The Blue Leopard was given a potion created by Na'Bantu which increased his strength to 3 times of a normal man, and gave him the ceremonial Blue Leopard skin to wear, similar to the tiger mane and claws worn by Tiger-Man. Tiger-Man and the Blue Leopard battle again, with no one winning due to the police arriving. The Blue Leopard runs off into the night laughing, knowing that he has implicated Tiger-Man for the murder.

Later, Tiger-Man rushes to a burn victim into the Harlem Hospital, where he works as Dr. Hill. He starts shouting orders to the staff, almost giving his secret identity away. In a flashback the man he brought in had set himself ablaze with suicidal thoughts running through his mind. In the present Tiger-Man leaves the hospital and sneaks into a broom closet to change into this working clothes as Dr. Lancaster Hill. Dr. Hill is a part of the team operating on the burn victim, but the man dies from his severe trauma, but not before he utters the word "hypnos". A couple of days later, Tiger-Man is witnesses another suicide. An elderly woman steps on the tracks in front of a subway train. Moving as quickly as he can Tiger-Man can not stop the train from striking the woman dead. Tiger-Man then decides to investigate these strange suicides.

Finding out that the elderly woman, named Hannah Markham, was a patient at a free psychiatric clinic in midtown run by Dr. Otto Kaufmann, Dr. Hill decides he will pay the doctor a visit to get to the bottom of this mystery. Dr. Hill's visit turns out to be waste of time as Dr. Kaufmann is adamant about sharing any information on his patients with Dr. Hill. As Dr. Hill is leaving, another patient of Dr. Kaufmann's steps in to let him know that she is ready for their session.

That evening, Tiger-Man attempts to stop an out of control automobile from plunging into the river. Not acting fast enough, the car soon plunges into the deep waters off a bridge. Tiger-Man manages to pull the victim from the car and bring her to the surface. He recognizes the woman at once as she was at the free clinic when Dr. Hill visited Dr. Kaufmann. In shock, she utters the name "Hypnos". Dr. Hill then decides that it is now time for Tiger-Man to visit Dr. Kaufmann.

Tiger-Man breaks into the clinic and begins to look through Dr. Kaufmann's patient files. He finds records of suicides that have happened, and suicides that are due to happen in the near future. Dr. Kaufmann then enters the office and notices Tiger-Man going through his files. He is easily beaten by Tiger-Man, but quickly recovers. He then uses a psychic ray through his monocle that hypnotizes Tiger-Man, which reveals that Dr. Kaufmann is in actuality Hypnos. Hypnos orders Tiger-Man to take his own life by setting himself aflame. Tiger-Man leaves the clinic with nothing else on his mind.

At a nearby gas station, Tiger-Man doses himself with gasoline. He is spotted by two thugs, who have recently robbed the gas station and see him as an easy victim. In a trance-like state, Tiger-Man is knocked unconscious by these two thugs who complain about him not having any money or valuables in his costume. The smack to his head that he receives releases Hypnos' hold over Tiger-Man.

Tiger-Man returns to the clinic to defeat Hypnos. The battle moves to the building's rooftop and Tiger-Man manages to avoid the psychic rays of Hypnos. He removes Kaufmann's monocle and turns it on him. Hypnotized by the ray, Kaufmann realizes that death is the only answer and leaps off the building, committing suicide in the process.

Powers and abilities
Dr. Hill as Tiger-Man possesses the strength, speed, agility and ferocity of an actual tiger in its most primal state. This ferocity sometimes grows to the point where it is hard to concentrate and Dr. Hill becomes lost in rage. Drinking samples of the tiger's milk that he preserved is able to increase his IQ by "120 points".

Costume
Dr. Hill as Tiger-Man wears a unitard, gauntlets, and boots made from the hide of a tiger that attacked him, which he defeated. The costume grants Dr. Hill extensive cunning which allows him to hunt prey and move very stealthy while in hunt mode.

Disappearance of Madeleine McCann
Hi, this is not a notable example of MWWS unless you can find reliable sources that says it is. MWWS is mentioned in the Response article which is the correct place. If you think it should go in the main article then please take it to the talk page where it has been extensively discussed and see if you can reach a consensus.

Your first article
Good job! But I'm not sure the subject of your article needs to have its own independent article. Have you considered redirecting your page to Crankset and adding the necessary information to that article?

Bamboo Mañalac

Francisco Gaudencio Lope Belardo Mañalac (born March 21, 1976), popularly known as Bamboo Mañalac or simply by the mononym Bamboo, is a Filipino musician and singer-songwriter. He began his career as vocalist and original frontman of Rivermaya and later fronted his own band, Bamboo. Bamboo band disbanded in 2011 and Mañalac then pursued a solo career and released his first solo album, No Water, No Moon.

Mañalac is known for his distinct vocals, which combines elements of rock with a mellow technique; he also has a notably eccentric style in live performances. His musical and singing style as well as his band's polished sound have made him an icon in the Philippine music industry.

Early life
Mañalac was born in Quezon City, Philippines to Filipino parents. His family immigrated to San Francisco, California when he was 10 years old and spent the rest of his childhood there. He was named after a combination of his grandfathers' names and coincidentally after his home city. His mother gave him the nickname "Bamboo" when he was still a kid.

1994–1998: Rivermaya
Rivermaya's roots came from a band named Xaga consisting of Jesse Gonzales on vocals, Kenneth Ilagan on guitars, Nathan Azarcon on bass guitar, Rome Velayo on drums, and Rico Blanco on keyboards and backing vocals. The band was managed by Lizza Nakpil and director Chito S. Roño. In the process of grueling practice sessions, Azarcon's former schoolmate Mañalac replaced Gonzales, as well as Azarcon's childhood friend, Mark Escueta, replaced Velayo, and later, Ilagan was replaced with Perf de Castro. With Ilagan leaving and de Castro as guitarist, the band members themselves decided to disband Xaga and form the band Rivermaya. They started putting together original songs like "Ulan", "214", and "Awit ng Kabataan" in demo form for prospective recording companies. Since its formation, the band has launched several successful albums, received numerous awards, and has undertaken several successful concerts and tours.

After the band's successful US and Canada tours, Mañalac decided to leave the band after a 4-year stint and stay with his family in the United States. His last performance with the band was on October 10, 1998, in Oakland, CA. Despite the popular belief and rumors saying that he was removed from the group due to drug addiction, Mañalac dismissed this as a mere "fan theory" claiming that he does not even smoke and have not tried taking drugs ever since, even out of curiosity. He actually went back to school in San Francisco and Los Angeles and took up English, Philosophy and Film which were his majors and did several odd jobs.

2003–2011: Bamboo
In 2002, after living in Los Angeles following the Rivermaya tour in America, Mañalac returned to the Philippines. His former bandmate in Rivermaya, Nathan Azarcon, introduced him to Ira Cruz and Vic Mercado. Later, all of them joined together and formed the band Bamboo. Since then, the band had launched four successful albums, and received numerous awards.

Rumors were initially spreading on January 10, 2011, after KC Montero tweeted on Twitter that the band has decided to call it quits. On January 11, 2011, Mañalac published an official statement in the band's official website. He said: As a group we've come to a point where you have to trust your gut, your heart and your head and accept that all things change. The hardest part as always is to know when to pack it up and part ways." He further said that, "We've learned that this journey is not only about us but includes all who came along for the trip. Family, friends and of course our front row believers who were there for the best reason of all. To simply listen. So it didn't come easy winding down to this decision. So here we go. IT'S OFFICIAL. THE BAND. IT'S OVER.

2011–present
In November 2011, Mañalac released his solo debut album, No Water, No Moon, under the label of PolyEast Records. The album consists 12 tracks with "Questions" as its carrier single. The album reached gold record in February 2013 after selling more than 7,500 copies.

In January 2012, Mañalac joined ASAP as a mainstay cast and a performer in the show.

On February 10, 2013, during an appearance on the last episode of Sarah G. Live, Bamboo Mañalac hinted that he would be working with Sarah Geronimo after they both finished performing a production number together. On February 14, 2013, ABS-CBN aired a promotional plug during the airtime of the pre-primetime television drama Kahit Konting Pagtingin, confirming Bamboo Mañalac's stint in The Voice of the Philippines as coach and judge. In an interview made by ABS-CBN News, Mañalac provided a statement regarding his stint on the show, "I'm ready to be a coach. There's a time for everything and this is it." When asked on what kind of artist will he would like to coach, he said, "I’ve been listening to rock for a long time but I also listen to other genres from rock to pop to folk to everything. I want someone who is open to all kinds of music; someone who is willing to listen and willing to learn."

Bamboo, alongside Sarah Geronimo, and Lea Salonga returned as coaches for The Voice Kids Philippines from 2014 to present.

In October 2015, four years after the release of his first album, Bamboo released his second solo album entitled Bless this Mess. The 10-track album was recorded in Grand Street Recording Studio, Brooklyn, New York.

Personal life
Mañalac is married and has kids, including a son named Lucius. Mañalac is evasive when it comes to his personal life.

Carlos Correia

Carlos Correia (6 November 1933 – 14 August 2021) was a Bissau-Guinean politician who was Prime Minister of Guinea-Bissau from 17 September 2015 to 12 May 2016. Previously he was Prime Minister from 27 December 1991 to 26 October 1994, from 6 June 1997 to 3 December 1998, and from 5 August 2008 to 25 December 2008.

Biography
Correia was born in Bissau on 6 November 1933. He was trained in East Germany as an agricultural engineer. During Guinea-Bissau's war for independence, Correia was a member of the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC), which ruled the country until 1999. In the administration of Francisco Mendès in the 1970s, Correia was Minister of Finance. In the 1980s, he was a member of the Politburo of the PAIGC and responsible for agriculture and fishery in the state council.

When the office of Prime Minister was created again after having been abolished in 1984, Correia became Prime Minister on 27 December 1991 under President João Bernardo Vieira. After the first multiparty presidential and parliamentary elections in July 1994, which the PAIGC won, Manuel Saturnino da Costa succeeded him as head of government on 27 October.

After da Costa's discharge on 26 May 1997, Correia became Prime Minister once again on 6 June. However, in October of the same year the highest court of the country ruled that Correia's nomination was unconstitutional, because parliament had not been consulted. A week later, his nomination was approved. Correia's work as Prime Minister was well regarded by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

Correia's second term in office, which lasted until 3 December 1998, was overshadowed by the rebellion of Ansumane Mané. Mané was dismissed as chief of staff of the armed forces in June 1998, which led him to rebel against the government and start the civil war, which lasted until a peace agreement between the government and rebels was signed in November 1998. The agreement lasted for six months.

After Vieira was overthrown in May 1999, Attorney-General Amin Saad announced on 27 July 1999 that Correia and 14 other supporters of Vieira had been arrested and charged with inciting warfare and providing financial support to Vieira; however, he was only incarcerated for a short time. At a PAIGC congress in September 1999, he was expelled from the party, along with Vieira and five other former ministers. After Kumba Ialá took office as president, Correia was arrested, along with da Costa and four other former ministers, in February 2000. It was alleged that two government bonds were issued without parliamentary approval three years prior; according to Correia and da Costa, who were released on bail, the bonds were intended to provide funds for national development. He was acquitted of embezzlement in June 2003.

In February 2003, Correia and four other members of the PAIGC were arrested for the execution of five people after a failed coup d'etat in 1986, but he was released four days later.

In 2005, he was initially considered as a presidential candidate for his party, but Malam Bacai Sanhá was nominated instead. Sanhá later lost to Vieira in a run-off vote.

Vieira dissolved the National People's Assembly and appointed Correia as Prime Minister again on 5 August 2008, replacing Martinho Ndafa Kabi. Correia was tasked with leading the government as it prepared for a legislative election in November 2008. A new government headed by Correia was appointed on 9 August; aside from Correia himself, it included 21 ministers and seven secretaries of state. This government was dominated by Vieira loyalists and members of PAIGC, including PAIGC dissidents who were supporters of Vieira. The Party for Social Renewal (PRS) was given five posts in the government, while the Republican Party for Independence and Development (PRID) and the United People's Alliance (APU) were each given a single post.

Following the election, in which PAIGC won a parliamentary majority (67 out of 100 seats), Vieira appointed PAIGC President Carlos Gomes Junior to replace Correia on 25 December 2008.

Seven years later, amidst a dispute between President Jose Mario Vaz and PAIGC, his own party, Correia was again appointed Prime Minister and sworn in on 17 September 2015. A new government headed by Correia was appointed on 13 October 2015. As he and Vaz had still not agreed on who should head the ministries for the interior and natural resources, Correia temporarily took responsibility for those portfolios. On 12 May 2016, Correia was dismissed from his post by the President. Speaking on 27 May, Correia criticized the move, calling it "a constitutional coup d'etat". Correia died on 14 August 2021 at the age of 87.

Santa Clara Island

Santa Clara Island (Isla Santa Clara) is a tiny, uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Robinson Crusoe Island in a group of islands known as the Juan Fernández Islands. The island is of volcanic origin and is approximately 1 km long and 0.6 km wide. The island group is politically part of the South American country Chile, and is administratively assigned to the Region of Valparaíso.

Geography
Santa Clara is the smallest island of the Juan Fernandez Islands and has an area of about 2.2 km2. It is surrounded on the south side by a reef. This volcanic islet is related to a group of three islands. Located 1.5 km southwest of Robinson Crusoe Island, it has a mainly flat surface, with a maximum altitude of 376 m at Johow Hill. Based on its geomorphological characteristics and the composition of its lavas, it is postulated to be the earliest volcanic center which led to the emergence of Robinson Crusoe Island, and is, therefore, of greater antiquity - 5.8 million years (as compared to 3.8 - 4.2 million years).

Santa Clara includes volcanic rocks and several small beaches, including some white sand beaches. A short distance from the western extremity of Santa Clara Island, there is a small rocky islet, and, at the tip south of the same islet, there is a sandbar composed of various rocks which break the water. Coming from the north, the island of Santa Clara has the appearance of a cliff or escarpment; but approaching from the south, shows an eroded quirky aspect of conical mounds and strangely cut rocks. Waters surrounding the island have a rocky bottom, with strong currents. Access by boat to the island is dangerous, especially in stormy weather, because the strong sea breaks on all sides.

Climate
Being low-lying in elevation, Santa Clara catches relatively little rainfall. The amount of rainfall also depends on the El Niño-Southern Oscillation. The climate is subtropical, strongly influenced by fluctuations in the general northward flow of the cold sub-Antarctic Humboldt ocean current and the southeast trade winds, which create a high-winter and low-summer rainfall pattern and a stable temperature environment. Temperatures range throughout the year from 3 C to 34 C, with an annual mean of 15.4 C.

Flora and fauna
Santa Clara is generally desolate and barren, but on its eastern slope there are some trees, and on the northwest tip a periodical stream of water runs along the gorge, which reaches the sea. The low vegetation has been eroded in the past by herds of goats up on the rocks. The native flora is characterized by low fire tolerance and poor adaptation to herbivore resistance. Feral rabbits are the greatest threat because they exert devastating effects on the island’s habitats.

The majority of the original vegetation on the island has been replaced by shrubs and grasses. The vegetation is a miniature mosaic of matorral, barren rock, various size trees, and shrubs mixed with ferns and perennial herbs. Nearly all of Santa Clara is abundant in the introduced Rubus ulmifolius, Aristotelia chilensis, Ugni molinae, Lantana camara and Lonicera japonica. Some have the potential to be serious pests, having fleshy fruits that are bird-dispersed, in addition to weeds such as Danthonia collina, Stipa laevissima and Piptochaetium bicolor. There are no permanent sources of fresh water on the island. Vertebrates inhabiting the islet include birds, some endangered, which make their nests on or visit the island. The island (along with neighbouring Robinson Crusoe Island) has been recognised as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International.

Government
The uninhabited island is part of a municipality in the Region of Valparaíso, from which Easter Island is also administered. The main economic activities are fishing of the spiny lobster, Jasus frontalis, and tourism. The entire archipelago has been part of a nature reserve called the Archipiélago de Juan Fernández National Park since 1977.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sanu. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sanu~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:50, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
