Think (slogan)

"Think" (rendered as THINK) is a slogan associated with the American multinational technology company IBM.

History
The "THINK" slogan was first used by Thomas J. Watson in December 1911, while managing the sales and advertising departments at the National Cash Register Company. At an uninspiring sales meeting, Watson interrupted, saying "The trouble with every one of us is that we don't think enough. We don't get paid for working with our feet — we get paid for working with our heads". Watson then wrote THINK on the easel.

Asked later what he meant by the slogan, Watson replied, "By THINK I mean take everything into consideration. I refuse to make the sign more specific. If a man just sees THINK, he'll find out what I mean. We're not interested in a logic course."

In 1914, Watson took the slogan with him to the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) and its subsidiaries, all of which later became IBM. International Time Recording, one of the subsidiaries, published a magazine for employees and customers, named Time, which, in 1935, IBM would rename to THINK. IBM continues to use the slogan. THINK is also an IBM trademark; IBM named its laptop computers ThinkPads and named a line of business-oriented desktop computers ThinkCentre.

Since 2018, IBM's main conference is called IBM Think.

The Apple slogan "Think different," meaning "Think differently", first used in 1997, has been widely taken as a response to IBM's THINK.

Raj Kamal Jha

Raj Kamal Jha (born 1966) is an Indian newspaper editor and novelist writing in English. He currently serves as the Editor-in-Chief of The Indian Express. He has written six novels that have been translated into more than 12 languages. His journalism and fiction have won national and international awards, including the Commonwealth Writers Prize; Rabindranath Tagore Literary Prize; Tata Literature Live! Book of The Year; the International Press Institute India Award for Excellence in Journalism; and the Mumbai Press Club Journalist of the Year award. In September 2021, Jha was awarded Editor of The Year by the India Chapter of the International Advertising Association Annual Leadership Awards.

He is the cousin of former Congress leader Sanjay Jha.

Early life and education
Jha was born in Bhagalpur, Bihar, and grew up in Calcutta, West Bengal, where he went to school at St. Joseph's College. He attended the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, where he got his Bachelor of Technology with Honours in Mechanical Engineering. He was the editor of the campus magazine Alankar in his third (junior) and fourth (senior) years at IIT where he received the institute's Order of Merit. After graduating in June 1988, he went to the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of Southern California to pursue a Master's program in Print Journalism; he received his M.A. in 1990.

Journalism
Since 1990, Jha has been working full-time in newsrooms. He was an Assistant Editor (News) at The Statesman in Kolkata between 1992 and 1994, a Senior Associate Editor at India Today, New Delhi (1994–1996), and since 1996 has been with The Indian Express, first as its Deputy Editor, then as Executive Editor, Managing Editor, Editor and Chief Editor since June 2014. The newspaper and its journalists have won the Excellence in Journalism Award from the India chapter of the Vienna-based International Press Institute five times. These are for investigative work by the newspaper related to the Gujarat riots of 2002 and their aftermath; the Bihar flood scam in which relief was siphoned off by officers; the disappearance of tigers from India's national parks and questions regarding the role of the Election Commission of India.

As a member of the "International Consortium of Investigative Journalists", the newspaper, in April 2016, investigated The Panama Papers and revealed details of Indian names and companies related to offshore accounts in tax havens. Following the revelations, the Government set up a panel to probe each account. For the Panama Papers, the ICIJ won the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting. For his "exemplary stewardship" of The Indian Express that saw a "focus on investigative journalism," Jha was named Journalist of the Year by the Mumbai Press Club at Redink Awards, 2017.

In June 2021, the newspaper's investigation of FinCEN files, tracking global dirty money flows through global banks including HSBC, JP Morgan Chase and Standard Chartered, was part of the ICIJ-BuzzFeedNews project that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.

Delivering the vote of thanks at the Ramnath Goenka Memorial Awards in 2016 in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Jha underlined that questioning those in power and holding them accountable, inviting their criticism, was the hallmark of good journalism, an obvious truth that often gets lost in the "selfie journalism" of "likes and retweets". The next year, Jha said that the only counter to fear in the newsroom was to get up and switch the lights on rather than find a safe blanket to hide under.

In 2017, for his "outstanding contribution" to journalism and literature by telling stories about a changing India with "honesty, compassion and courage," Jha was awarded the Distinguished Alumnus Award by his alma mater Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, at its annual convocation. Past recipients of this award from the institute include Google's Sundar Pichai, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Magsaysay Award winner Harish Hande.

In March 2023, speaking at the RNG Awards in the presence of the Chief Justice of India Dhananjaya Y. Chandrachud, Jha called the Supreme Court the North Star for journalists for expanding the freedom of the press over the years. That's why, he said, "when the lights dim, when a reporter is arrested under a law meant for terrorists, when another is arrested for asking a question, when a university teacher is picked up for sharing a cartoon, a college student for a speech, a film star for a comment, or when a rejoinder to a story comes in the form of a police FIR – we turn to the North Star for its guiding light.”

Novels
Jha's journalism uniquely shapes his fiction.

His sixth and latest novel The Patient in Bed Number 12, published in 2023, tracks a viral hate video, a dying father in search of the living and a daughter who follows her head and heart. Actor and director Nandita Das called it "a heart-wrenching journey through the lives of ordinary people in extraordinary times." Poet and critic Ranjit Hoskote wrote this "dazzling kaleidoscope" of a novel is a "superbly Sebaldian" take on the trauma and horror of a people who have lost agency.

His fifth novel The City And The Sea, published by Penguin Hamish Hamilton in 2019, "cleaves open India's tragedy of violence against women with a powerful story about our complicity in the culture that supports it." Nobel Laureate, economist and philosopher Amartya Sen has called it a "gripping narrative of human predicament and surviving hope, yielding an extraordinary combination of philosophy and allegory. A book you have to read."

Taking off from the 2012 Delhi gang rape, the novel "builds a narrative around a life disrupted by such an incident by delving into the past of one of the perpetrators (the juvenile), and the victim’s impossible future (as a mother)." Writing in The Indian Express, eminent Malayalam writer N S Madhavan said: The layers upon layers of Jha's novel dress the "collective wound" of a nation.

His fourth novel She Will Build Him A City was published by Bloomsbury in India, Australia, UK and US and by Actes Sud in French. Pankaj Mishra has called it the "best novel from and about India I have read in a long time." Writer Neel Mukherjee has said its "revelations about the New India are explosive." Describing its writing as "gorgeous," Kirkus Reviews says it uses "magic to illuminate violence, poverty and loss" and shines light on the "ugly highs and lows of modern India.". Writer and critic Alex Clark writes in The Guardian: "Everywhere, scale is out of whack: tiny dwellings are dwarfed by teetering towers; choked roads are closed by massing protesters and water cannons; spiralling sums of money are set against almost unfathomable deprivation. The sense throughout is of inescapable oppression. No wonder the characters – both human and animal – occasionally break the bonds of earth and fly across the sky in search of less constrained lives.".

In April 2022, to mark the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, the UK-based The Reading Agency and BBC Arts chose 70 titles, 10 books for each decade of the Queen's Reign that showcase "brilliant, beautiful and thrilling writing" from "inspiring writers" across the Commonwealth. The Blue Bedspread, by Jha, was chosen as one of the ten books for 1992-2001 along with works by Nobel Laureates Abdulrazak Gurnah and J M Coetzee; Arundhati Roy, Yann Martel, Zadie Smith, Michael Ondaatje, Rohinton Mistry, Carol Shields and Earl Lovelace.

Jha is represented by London-based literary agent David Godwin of David Godwin Associates.

Themes in Writing
His writing calls for reader participation which evokes sharp, divided reaction.

"Not everyone’s kind of tales, they are dense and surreal, contain dark, brooding, even repugnant elements," said OPEN (magazine).

Writing on "The Patient in Bed Number 12," scholar and translator Arshia Sattar said: "Jha is a grammarian of our time parsing the news in his novels. His fiction transforms the news from something that fades into the past and is forgotten into a hologram of the present. More power to him and others like him—we need to see the truth even if we decide not to carry its weight.".

Reviewing "The City And The Sea," Malayalam writer K. R. Meera wrote: "It is the story of children within us, whose only defence against the unexplained horrors of the dark is darkness itself." Actor and activist Shabana Azmi said reading the book is "to dive into the darkness and spot a piercing ray of light." That as India stumbles its way into the 21st century, its "absolute priority has to be the safety of girls in public and private places and this will need courage and compassion."

John Fowles described The Blue Bedspread as the "Coming of age of the Indian novel." On Jha's second novel "If You Are Afraid of Heights," Alfred Hickling wrote in The Guardian: "Readers are left to formulate their own theories and connections. But Jha's writing functions more through power of association than sequential narrative. His prose has the febrile, cold-sweat quality of the most vivid waking nightmares. He suspends his work in a realm of improbability, where it is possible to think the unthinkable...Perhaps the biggest taboo that Jha seeks to breach is the sacrosanct, hierarchical structure of the family. " According to writer and musician Amit Chaudhuri, Jha's writing is more in the tradition of cinema than literature. Referring to the works of Tarkovsky, Luis Buñuel and Pedro Almodóvar, Chaudhuri says just like their films are "destined to be foreign even to those who speak the language they are made in," Jha's novel speaks a "foreign language."

Fireproof is set against the backdrop of the 2002 Gujarat riots, the first attack on Muslims (In retaliation of attacks on Karsevaks in Godhra) after 9/11. The novel is a chilling tale of a father and his deformed son on a journey across a city where the ghosts of those killed have decided to seek justice. Commenting on Fireproof, India Today said: "Here is a chronicle for the 21st century, then, a bildungsroman that tracks the education of the crime-infested soul, completed when the soul cries 'I am guilty.

Reviewing Jha's fourth novel, "She Will Build Him A City," The Saturday Paper, the Australian cultural weekly, called it "conceptually daring and important beyond entertainment." The importance of the novel, it wrote, is the fact that "if the Indian economy is a tiger on the verge of roaring, the world should hear the stories of the people who have fed it with their blood."

Gateway Motorway

The Gateway Motorway (M2 to Eight Mile Plains and M1 to Pine River) is a major tolled motorway in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia which includes the Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges (former Gateway Bridge). The motorway is operated by toll road operator Transurban.

It bypasses Brisbane in order to provide easier access between the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast. It runs from the M2 Logan Motorway in Drewvale (near Browns Plains) to the Gympie Arterial Road in Bald Hills. At the interchange with the Pacific Motorway at Eight Mile Plains (Pacific Motorway exit 16), its original terminus pre-1997, the route number changes from M2 (Logan Motorway – Pacific Motorway) to M1 (Pacific Motorway – Bruce Highway (Gympie Arterial Road)). The Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges are part of the Gateway Motorway and the Motorway provides access to the Port of Brisbane, Brisbane Airport and Brisbane Entertainment Centre.

According to Transurban the motorway was used by 125,000 vehicles per day in 2023.

Background
The motorway was constructed to connect the then-recently opened Gateway Bridge to the Bruce Highway in the north and the Pacific Motorway in the south. Construction on the road commenced in March 1985 and it was opened to traffic in four stages between August and December 1986.

When first opened, the Gateway Bridge and supporting roads extended only to Airport Drive in the North and Lytton Road in the south. Originally, the route was called the Gateway Arterial Road because the road was not at motorway status, the road passing through three large roundabouts north of the Brisbane River. Therefore, to cope with the heavy traffic, the government began upgrading the road in 1987. Duplication to four lanes and grade-separation was completed in several stages between 1989 and 1996.

In 1995, construction began on a southern extension to the Logan Motorway, creating the Southern Brisbane Bypass. The road was opened to traffic by Vaughan Johnson, then-Minister for Transport and Main Roads, on 13 May 1997. Following this work, the road was renamed Gateway Motorway.

In 2007, construction began on the Gateway Upgrade Project, which duplicated the Gateway Bridge, added a deviation between Eagle Farm and Nudgee and upgraded the motorway south of the river. The duplicate Gateway Bridge was opened on 24 May 2010 and both bridges were renamed the Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges. The original bridge was refurbished to match the new structure and was finished on 28 November 2010. The northern deviation was routed east from its old alignment (the old alignment is now named Southern Cross Way) and added a second access road, Moreton Drive, to Brisbane Airport. The deviation opened on 19 July 2009 whilst Moreton Drive opened on 3 December 2009. South of the bridges, the motorway was expanded to 9 lanes up to the Wynnum Road interchange, and 8 lanes to the Old Cleveland Road interchange. From that point the motorway is six lanes up to the Pacific Motorway Merge. The upgrades between Lytton Road and Mount Gravatt-Capalaba Road were completed on 28 January 2010, while the final stage between Mount Gravatt-Capalaba Road and Pacific Motorway (also the final stage of the entire Gateway Motorway Upgrade) was opened to traffic on 30 July 2011.

Upon its original opening, the road did not have a route number. However it gained the Metroad 1 shield in March 1994, before being replaced with M1 in 2005. Manual toll booths were removed and replaced with electronic toll gates (which require vehicles to have a transponder attached to the windscreen) in 2010.

Tolls
The motorway has three toll points, the Murrarie, Kuraby and Compton Road toll points. The Murrarie toll point is located immediate south of the Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges and charges all vehicles travelling on the bridges. The Kuraby toll point is located north of Compton Road and charges vehicles between the Logan Road / Pacific Motorway and Compton Road / Logan Motorway. The nearby Compton Road toll point is located on the northbound exit and southbound entry ramps to/from Compton Road, which opened in 2019. The sections north of Brisbane Airport and between Port of Brisbane Motorway and Logan Road are toll-free.

The Murrarie toll point was introduced in 2005 to fund the duplication of the Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges. At the time, the Murrarie tolls were proposed to expire in 2041.

In 2011, tolls on the Gateway (Kuraby toll point) and Logan Motorways were extended from 2018 to 2051, as well as the Murrarie tolls, as a result of the transfer of Queensland Motorways' tollways to the Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC).

The motorway is operated by Transurban Queensland. The state continues to own the road and bridge infrastructure.

Upgrade projects
A project to plan and construct upgrades to the Gateway Motorway and the Bruce Highway, at a cost of $2.1 billion, was in planning in July 2022 with finalisation of business cases expected in 2023. Major components are:
 * Upgrading the Gateway Motorway (Bracken Ridge to Pine River).
 * Upgrading the Bruce Highway (Gateway Motorway to Dohles Rocks Road).
 * Upgrading Gympie Arterial Road (Strathpine Road to Gateway Motorway).
 * Delivering north-facing ramps (northern connections) at Dohles Rocks Road interchange to the Bruce Highway.
 * Building the North South Urban Arterial corridor between Dohles Rocks Road and Anzac Avenue.

Interchanges
The kilometres shown below are subject to change as upgrades to the road are implemented. The entire motorway is in the City of Brisbane local government area.

Southern Cross Way
Southern Cross Way is a 7 km, 4 lane motorway which branches from the Gateway Motorway at Eagle Farm before merging back with it at Nudgee. Prior to 2010, Southern Cross Way formed part of the Gateway Motorway before the Gateway Upgrade Project constructed a shorter route (and additional Brisbane Airport access road, Moreton Drive), between those two suburbs. The old, longer motorway section was preserved, connected to the deviation and renamed Southern Cross Way, after the aircraft flown by aviator Charles Kingsford Smith, to allow motorists to distinguish between the routes. Southern Cross Way (also colloquially called the 'Old Gateway Motorway') thus follows the previous alignment of the Gateway Motorway between Eagle Farm and Nudgee and has three exits.

Interchanges
The entire motorway is in the City of Brisbane local government area.

CJDJ-FM

CJDJ-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 102.1 FM in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The station, owned by Rawlco Communications, broadcasts an active rock format as Rock 102. It shares studio space with sister stations CFMC and CKOM at 715 Saskatchewan Crescent West, also the home of Rawlco Radio's Corporate Offices.

History
The station received approval by the CRTC in 1989 and originally launched in 1990 as CHSN-FM, an adult contemporary station branded as Sun 102 and owned by Highline Broadcasting. The station was later purchased by Elmer Hildebrand, and operated by Rawlco under a local management agreement with the name 102.1 the River.

In 1998 the call letters were changed to CKOM, and the station changed to a format similar to the oldies previously played on 650 AM. The AM station became CINT, broadcasting as 650 NTR with a news/talk format that it retains to this day. CKOM FM102 was later purchased by Rawlco on December 21, 2000. Noting market demand for a dedicated rock and roll station in the city, on April 18, 2001, at 6 a.m. Saskatoon time, CKOM-FM changed its format from adult contemporary to rock, styling itself as CKOM Rock 102. In 2002, the CKOM call letters returned to 650 AM, giving way to the current name and call letters.

The CHSN-FM callsign and format were subsequently adopted by Golden West Broadcasting on a new station in Estevan.

Azure hawker

The azure hawker (Aeshna caerulea) is one of the smaller species of hawker dragonflies, (family Aeshnidae). The flight period is from late May to August

It is about 62 mm long. Both sexes have azure blue spots on each abdominal segment and the thorax also has azure markings. The markings on the male are brighter and more conspicuous than in the female. The female also has a brown colour form.

This species flies in sunshine, but will also frequently bask on stones or tree trunks. By lowering their wings during basking, they are able to increase the temperature of their bodies by as much as 7C compared to air temperature and continue searching for mates. It shelters in heather or similar low vegetation in dull weather. Possibly similar to Austrolestes annulosus and Diphlebia nymphoides, the abdominal and eye spots of males reversibly change from purple-gray pales as temperatures decrease to more bluish as they increase.

The species is widespread in the Eurasian polar region and the Alps in Central Europe, leading to the conclusion that the species is a glacial relict. However, larvae are restricted to micro-climates with very consistent, warm water with peaty bottoms. Adults frequently feed upon Boloria aquilonaris, Inachis io, Erebia, and Phytometra gamma which are more common in the bogs of the Alps than surrounding habitats..

Talk:Debenhams Ireland

Untitled
Crassly commercial and promotional?
 * Eh, no. --PhilipO 20:33, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

29th July 2006 is listed as a date from which an article appeared in the paper regarding a possible sale. However as that date is currently in the future, it's incorrect and I shall remove it until either the correct date or new relevant information is available. G. 13:47, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Importance
No way is Debenhams Ireland "mid importance" on the IrelandProject scale! Dunno how this rating lasted 16 years. Sarah777 (talk) 16:32, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'd respectfully disagree there - this article covers *both* Roches and Debenhams, and Roches I would see as a clear Mid prio, given its role as a popular retail operation over decades. Debenhams inherited that, and achieved its own notability on top, with its end, and the legal and other points raised, giving an added push. The prio ratings are about impact over time, and focus needed, and I believe in more than basic prio for this case. SeoR (talk) 17:41, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * OK. Didn't actually read the article so didn't realise that! Didn't rate it blindly - just scanned it for quality and missed the Roches Stores connection. Sarah777 (talk) 22:12, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and no worries - it's not very clear. If I had more spare time, I'd say that Roches deserves its own article, up to the end of the grocery operation, and then sale (noting that the family retained some of the properties, merely renting them to Debenhams), and then a short article on Debenhams not-so-long history and messy end - but for now I'll try to come back and bulk this one up a bit. On with the assessment show :-) SeoR (talk) 07:52, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Thomas Jefferson School (St. Louis, Missouri)

Thomas Jefferson School ("TJ") is a small coeducational boarding and day school located in St. Louis, Missouri.

Overview
The school is located on 20 acres (8.1 ha) in the middle of St. Louis's South County suburbs. It is small for a school of its kind, with only around 90 students from grades 7 through 12, about a quarter of whom are international students. Boarding students and day students attend in about equal numbers.

TJ is focused on the classics, and the ideal of a classical education in general, balanced by a strong math program (all students continue through calculus) and Advanced Placement courses in science and history for all students. The Greek program, in particular, is among the best in the nation. Classes, all in the morning, are discussion-oriented and relatively short, at 35 minutes. Students spend the remainder of the day studying independently, engaged in athletics and other extracurriculars, or consulting privately with faculty members, some of whom live on campus.

As ranked by the Boarding School Review, the median SAT scores of seniors are among the highest in the nation for boarding schools: 710 reading, 670 math, 690 writing. A large share of its alumni go on to attend liberal arts colleges.

The school has long held membership in the National Association of Independent Schools, the Association of Boarding Schools, and Midwest Boarding Schools, and in 1997 it gained full accreditation by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States.

School history
Thomas Jefferson Prep School was founded in 1946 by Robin McCoy, Charles E. Merrill Jr. (son of a founder of Merrill Lynch), and Graham Spring. They aimed to create a school whose governance rested with the faculty, patterned after the colleges that comprise Oxford and Cambridge Universities. At one time in its history, teachers with seniority could become board members. In order to comply with new standards of the Independent Schools Association of the Central States, the school is now governed by a non-faculty Board with members drawn from alumni, past parents, and friends of the school.

For its first 25 years, TJ was a boarding and day school for boys in grades 9–12. In the 1950s, it was a feeder school for Harvard. The school became coeducational in 1971. During the 1970s, the school also began admitting students as five-day boarders. The school added an eighth grade in 1976 and a seventh grade in 1981.

Head of School
Robin McCoy, the school's first headmaster, held the job for 34 years; he was replaced by Lawrence Morgan (TJ '53) in the summer of 1980. William C. Rowe (TJ '63) succeeded Morgan as Head of School in July 2000. Elizabeth Holekamp succeeded Rowe as Head of School in July 2011. Matthew Troutman succeeded Holekamp as Head of School in July 2020. The current Head of School is Jane Ballard Roth (TJ '91) who stepped into the role in November 2022.

Logan Motorway

The M2/M6 Logan Motorway is a 30-kilometre toll road between Ipswich and the M1 or Pacific Motorway at Loganholme, and the Gateway Motorway, providing access to the Gold Coast on the eastern seaboard and to the rural areas of the Darling Downs to the west. The M6 portion runs from the Pacific Motorway to the junction with the Gateway Motorway at Drewvale, where it then becomes the M2, continuing on to merge with the Ipswich Motorway at Gailes.

The road is operated and owned by Transurban Queensland. Most of this road was formally Metroad 4 prior to the Gateway Motorway extension in 1997.

The road was used by an average of 203,000 vehicles per day in 2023.

History
The Logan Motorway Act of 1987 permitted a franchise period of 30 years from completion of construction. The original owner was the Logan Motorway Company Ltd, later a company of Queensland Motorways. Russell Hinze attended a ceremony at Loganlea for the turning of the first sod in the construction of the Logan Motorway in October 1987.

It originally opened as a two-lane motorway on 13 December 1988, and was upgraded to four in two stages. The first stage of the duplication (Ipswich Motorway to Wembley Road) was completed in December 1996, followed by the second (Wembley Road to Pacific Motorway) on 23 May 2000. The Gateway Motorway was linked in 1997.

Toll booths at Wembley Road were removed in April 1997. Too many heavy vehicles were avoiding the toll by using Compton Road.

In December 2020, a man on the Logan Motorway was shot dead by police as he approached them with a knife in his hand.

Upgrade
In 2015, the road was deemed to be a traffic bottleneck. It was exceeding its planned capacity with up to 60,000 vehicles per day using the motorway. Late in the same year it was announced that Transurban would upgrade the Logan Motorway. It underwent a $450 million upgrade constructed from 2016 through to 2019. The upgrade, known as the Logan Enhancement Project, included upgrades to the Logan Motorway and Gateway Motorway:
 * widening Gateway Motorway to three lanes in each direction from Compton Road to Logan Motorway and new south-facing ramps at Compton Road
 * widening Logan Motorway to up to four lanes in each direction between Wembley Road and Beaudesert Road / Mount Lindesay Highway
 * relocating the Logan Motorway on and off-ramps at Wembley Road
 * new underpass from Beaudesert Road southbound to Logan Motorway westbound
 * new service roads between Gateway Motorway and Beaudesert Road / Mount Lindesay Highway, bypassing the Logan Motorway
 * the upgrades funded from an increase in Class 4 (commercial truck tolls)

Tolls
The road is operated and owned by Transurban Queensland. The state continued to own the road and bridge infrastructure. Electronic free-flow tolling was implemented in 2009.

Tolls on the Logan Motorway were originally due to expire 30 years after opening, in 2018. In April 2011, the tolls were extended to 2051 as a result of the transfer of Queensland Motorways' tollways to the Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC).

The motorway has three toll points:
 * Loganlea toll point: east of Loganlea Road, and the eastbound exit and westbound entry ramps to / from Loganlea Road
 * Heathwood toll point: west of Stapylton Road, and the westbound exit and eastbound entry ramps to / from Stapylton Road
 * Paradise Road toll point: westbound exit and eastbound entry ramps to / from Paradise Road

Additionally, all traffic between the Logan Motorway and Gateway Extension must pass through the Kuraby or Compton Road toll points of the Gateway Extension. This means travel on any section of Logan Motorway between Stapylton Road and Loganlea Road incurs two tolls (a combination of any Gateway Motorway or Logan Motorway tolls). The short sections of Logan Motorway between Ipswich Motorway and Centenary Motorway and between Drews Road and Pacific Motorway are toll-free.

Laurene Landon

Laurene Landon Coughlin (born March 17, 1957) is a Canadian film and television actress. She first began appearing in movies in the 1980s. She is best known for her roles in Maniac Cop (1988) and Maniac Cop 2 (1990), ...All the Marbles (1981), Airplane II: The Sequel (1982), I, the Jury (1982) and Hundra (1983).

Early life
Born in Toronto, Ontario, she attended California State University and began training in their police academy program, but decided that law enforcement was not for her when she came to the realization that she might someday have to use a gun. So she decided to try her hand at acting and began her career as an extra in films.

Career
Landon began acting in a bit part in 1979's Bitter Heritage, also released as Naked in My Grave. She was cast as a featured skater in Roller Boogie in that same year. She gained a small role in 1981's Full Moon High, her first of many collaborations with director Larry Cohen. She spent part of her early career as a model and in 1980 was a runner-up in the Miss Black Velvet pageant in Las Vegas. There, a casting director told her to go see another casting director in Los Angeles, regarding a feature film called ...All the Marbles (alternate title, The California Dolls). As she found modeling boring and was unable to sit still for hours at a time, she took his suggestion and landed the role of "Molly" in the film.

Landon starred as Mike Hammer's right-hand woman Velda in Larry Cohen and Richard T. Heffron's acclaimed 1982 Mickey Spillane movie adaptation I, the Jury. She appeared in Airplane II: The Sequel (1982), Hundra (1983), Maniac Cop (1988), and Maniac Cop 2 (1990). She returned to film acting as "Birdy" in the 2005 television movie Masters of Horror: Pick Me Up, followed by small or uncredited roles in the films Stand Up (2007) and Drive (2011). She appeared in Alien Vampz and Alien Vampz 2, as well as the comedy Strap-Off. In 2015, she played Detective Higgins in Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance, had a supporting role in the feature film Day Out of Days, and appeared in Sky. She had a starring role in the 2017 film, Syndicate Smashers.

Talk:Cosmos (plant)

Discussion
I was unfamiliar with the name before coming to Korea from the US and Europe. Here it is a commonly seen roadside flower, motly white and lilac in color, growing on long stalks, with the slender stalks joining about  six to twelve inches down, one at a time, cumulating maybe 2-5? individual flowers.

Amazing Cosmos Picture
Someone should upload this picture and add it to this article, because it is a stunning photo. Before all of you start talking about copyright issues, it clearly states on page 8 of the photographer's page (on which the picture is displayed) that, "© This photo is public." He does want to be credited, as stated on Creative Commons liscenses for other pictures of his. I would do this myself, but I don't know how. Nauticashades 15:35, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Cosmos in South Africa
I'm looking for a source to the claim that the Cosmo arrived in southern Africa due to contaminated horse feed from Argentina during the Anglo-Boer war. The claim seems so specific that there must be a source but no matter where I look online I only see nearly direct quotations of this page or the occasional claim that it came from Mexico. Any ideas? dkallen78 16:30, 2 January, 2021 (UTC)
 * You may be right, and a quick web look doesn't reveal anything for me. This claim was added on 14 September 2013 by a one-edit IP address. Anything on the web after this date is probably referencing this article. I've added a citation needed tag... if nothing is forthcoming in the next month I'll remove the text, if nobody else does it before. Acabashi (talk) 17:35, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, I have not forgotten abut this (you left a message for me on my page). I have found a number of sources, but have not had the time to fully explore. One of them says exactly what the article says, but with Mexico instead of Argentina as the origin of the feed. I will go through the info I have in the next few days. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 16:41, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

I found a source from before 2013. I will update the article. The book asserts that Cosmos are native to Argentina but doesn't say that the horse feed was imported from there. I have found evidence that Cosmos were growing wild in India in the 19th century and it's possible that the British got their horse feed from there.Dkallen78 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 21:44, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Nice. Do you have a page number for the Churchill book? Acabashi (talk) 23:36, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No! It was a Google Books find and none of the pages were numbered. There should be a link in the citation I left. Dkallen78 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 19:29, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Strange that the 2009 Chasing Churchill book is not page numbered. Presumably you searched and found the full or partial online Google text, complete with its useful yellow highlighted words... the link to that will do, even if the link is probably very long. A book as cited is likely to be challenged. Acabashi (talk) 20:43, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Tautology
A genus is (as any other taxon), a grouping of plants with the same common name by definition so to to state that "Cosmos is a genus, with the same common name of cosmos" is repeating oneself and incorrect by implication as there is no such thing as a genus without the same common name. It would be more efficient to simply say "Cosmos is a genus of flowering plants within the sunflower family" If one wanted to clarify to a non expert reader that a genus is a grouping, this could be done by creating a hyperlink of the word genus to the wikipedia article concerning the nature of a genus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.9.195.168 (talk) 19:58, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Kung Te-cheng

Kong Te-cheng (23 February 1920 – 28 October 2008) was a 77th generation descendant of Confucius in the main line of descent. He was the final person to be appointed Duke Yansheng and the first Sacrificial Official to Confucius. He helped formulate and was in charge of officiating the modern Confucius ceremony held annually in the Republic of China (Taiwan). In addition to Ceremonial Official, he held numerous posts in the Republic of China government, including member of the National Assembly from 1946 to 1991, President of the Examination Yuan from 1984 to 1993, and senior advisor to the President of the Republic of China from 1948 to 2000. He held professorships at National Taiwan University, Fu Jen Catholic University, and Soochow University.

Birth and early life
Kong was born in his family estate in Qufu, Shandong. He was the third child and only son of Kong Lingyi (孔令貽, 1872–1919), Duke Yansheng, by his second concubine, Wang Baocui (王寶翠, 1894–1920). His father's name contained the character 令 Ling because it was the generation name for 76th generation descendants of Confucius. On 6 June 1920, shortly after his birth, he was appointed Duke Yansheng by President Xu Shichang in accordance with an imperial tradition dating back to 1055 of bestowing the title on the eldest male in each generation of the main line of descent. His father had died before Kong Te-cheng's birth. Kong Te-cheng became the last person to be granted the centuries-old dukedom when the title was abolished by the Nationalist Government in 1935 and replaced with that of Ceremonial Official to Confucius (大成至聖先師奉祀官, literally "Ceremonial Officer of the Great Accomplished and Most Sacred Teacher").

At the age of 6, in Shandong he met University of Pennsylvania dean Emory Johnson, who invited him to attend the university.

Political career
The Japanese offered him the position of puppet Emperor of China in 1937, but Kong declined the offer.

In January 1938, Kong fled the Japanese invasion of Shandong to Hankou. The Japanese blew up his Sacred Mount Taishan residence. Premier H. H. Kong, also a descendant of Confucius, greeted Duke Kong Te-cheng as he arrived. TIME magazine addressed him by the title "Duke Kung", and referred to his residence as the "ducal seat".

In response to talk of Japanese offers to make him "ruler of China", Kong said: "I have never even been approached by the Japanese! I consider myself at the orders of the Chinese Government. I am a patriot, ready to take up arms and fight the Japanese as soon as I reach the age of military service—that is 18 years... my wife is expecting a child." He was a member of the National Assembly of the Republic of China from 1946 to 1991 and helped draft the 1947 Constitution of the Republic of China. From July 1956 to April 1964 he was Director of National Palace Museum in Taipei. Kong served as President of the Examination Yuan from 1984 to 1993. He was a senior adviser to the President of the Republic of China from 1948 to 2000.

Family
Kuog's name included 德 Dé, the generation name for 77th generation descendants of Confucius. Kong's father, Kong Lingyi (孔令貽, 1872–1919), inherited the Dukedom Yansheng in 1876, upon the death of his father, the 30th Duke Yansheng. Kong founded a county school in Qufu and was also president of the Four Clans Teachers' College (founded in conjunction with the descendants of Yan Hui, Mencius, and Zeng Zi). In 1889, he was appointed to the Guozijian. Following the Xinhai Revolution, Kong was given a government post in the new government but declined the position. Kong was a supporter of Yuan Shikai and was given a First Grade Medal and Sash of Auspicious Glory and the rank of Prince of the First Rank by Yuan in 1915.

Kong Lingyi had a total of two wives and two concubines. His first wife, Lady Sun (孫氏), was the fifth daughter of Sun Yuwen (孫毓汶, 1833–1899), an Imperial Envoy, and she was one year older than Kong. Lady Sun's grandfather, Sun Ruizhen (孫瑞珍, 1783–1858), was a scholar and official during the Guangxu Emperor's reign. Kong and Lady Sun married in 1888, but she died of illness without issue in 1899, aged 28. Kong's first concubine, Lady Feng, similarly did not have any children, and she died in 1926. Kong's second wife, Tao Wenpu, (陶文譜, known as Lady Tao [陶氏]), was the fifth daughter of Tao Shiyun (陶式鋆), Magistrate of Daming Prefecture, and Kong married her in 1905; compared with Lady Sun, though Tao family was rich at the time, it wasn't as prominent as Sun family. She bore Kong one son who died at the age of three year. As of 1914, one of Lady Tao's maids, named Wang Baocui, became the second concubine of Kong Lingyi; Wang was a daughter from a peasant from Zunhua County, Hebei, and she bore two daughters in 1913 and 1917. On 4 October 1919, Kong Lingyi went to Beijing after receiving news about the death of his father-in-law, Tao Shiyun. Soon afterwards, Kong was afflicted with a subcutaneous ulcer on his back. He died on 8 November 1919 at the Mansion of the Duke of Yansheng (衍聖公府) in Beijing. At the time of his father's death, Kong Te-cheng's mother, Wang Baocui, was five months pregnant, and on 23 February 1920, she gave birth to Kong. Seventeen days later, on 11 March 1920, Wang died.

Kong had two older sisters, both borne by his mother Wang Baocui. The elder, Kong Deqi (孔德齊, 1913–1939), married the youngest son of Feng Shu (馮恕), a Beijing calligrapher and founder of Beijing Electric Lamp Company, in 1931, but died as a young woman. The younger, Kong Demao (孔德懋, 1917–2021), married Ke Changfen (柯昌汾), third and youngest son of Qing dynasty historian Ke Shaomin (柯劭忞), in 1935. Ke Shaomin's sworn brother was President Xu Shichang. Kong Demao had two sons and two daughters, and she lived in mainland China and had written a book about her experiences growing up at the family estate in Qufu.

Kong married Sun Qifang (孫琪方, 1919–2011), a great-granddaughter of Qing dynasty scholar-official Sun Jianai (孫家鼐), who was the first president of Peking University, on 16 December 1936. Sun's ancestral home was in Shouxian, Anhui, and his family's business combine (one of the first in modern China) includes the Fou Foong Flour Company (阜豐麵粉廠). They had four children, two sons and two daughters:

 * Lucy Wei-O Kong (孔維鄂, b. 10 January 1938), elder daughter of Kong Te-cheng, married to Major Lester Mykel Conger (包雅志) in 1960, and they had one child, George Sean Conger (包尚恩); she lives in the United States.
 * Kong Wei-yi (孔維益, 7 November 1939 – 25 February 1989), elder son of Kong Te-cheng; married Yu Yuejie (于曰潔) on 17 January 1971 and had one son, the 79th lineal descendant Kong Tsui-chang (b. 1975), and one daughter, Kong Tsui-mei (孔垂梅, b. 1971).
 * Kong Weilai (孔維崍, b. 1941), second daughter of Kong Te-cheng; married in 1973 to Lee Sha (李莎) and have a son and a daughter.
 * Kong Weining (孔維寧, 1947 – 10 June 2010), second son of Kong Te-cheng; married Wu Ya (吳涯) on 7 December 1974 and had two daughters, Kong Chuijiu (孔垂玖) and Kong Chuiyong (孔垂永).

His children all have 維 Wei in their name since it is a generation name, signifying that they are 78th generation descendants of Confucius.

Death
On 20 October 2008, Kong was sent to Tzu Chi hospital in Sindian City. He acquired pneumonia and sepsis when he arrived at the emergency department. Kong died 8 days later, on 28 October 2008 at 10:50 am, of heart and respiratory failure. The ROC Ministry of the Interior appointed his grandson Kong Tsui-chang to succeed him as Sacrificial Official to Confucius.

Talk:1947 Fort Lauderdale hurricane

Comparative storm intensities
From Hurricane Andrew
 * Andrew was only the third Category five hurricane to hit the United States, the previous ones being Hurricane Camille, which hit Mississippi and Louisiana in August 1969, and the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, which struck the Florida Keys in September 1935.

But from 1947 Fort Lauderdale Hurricane
 * The Fort Lauderdale Hurricane (or Pompano Beach Hurricane or Forgotten Hurricane) was an intense category 5 hurricane that affected Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi in September of 1947.

Was this an oversight, or is there some error? --zandperl 05:18, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

 * The hurricane was a Cat5, but made landfall as a Cat4. Jdorje 05:24, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

What about hurricane Cleo (1964) which had a eye crossing Ft. Lauderdale? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.48.206.189 (talk) 21:56, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Mississippi Landfall
Category 3? That's not what the best track says. -- § Hurricane E  RIC § archive 01:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Weird. The best track does not say that, though Hurdat does say the hurricane brought Category 3 conditions to Mississippi and Louisiana. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Todo
I'd like to reorganize this to use the Storm history/Impact format that has become popular (the article basically pre-dates this format, which is now used for almost all storms). Jdorje 20:23, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Expand the sections a little bit and this article would be A-class, possibly even worthy of GA status. -- §  Hurricane  ERIC  § archive 01:24, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I dropped it to start due to lack of info. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:11, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Citation
The most heavily-used citation on this page ( http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/easyhurdat_5106.html ) is a dead link. It's mainly cited for track information, but also cites that source in claiming that it's one of five storms to hit the US at 155 MPH or higher. I know the other three (1935, Camille, and Andrew) but I'd love to see what the fifth one is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.183.150.149 (talk) 14:00, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Shall we name it George?
Even though HURDAT doesn't carry this name, there are two online references which acknowledge that this system was named George: The Louisiana Hurricane History and Bryan Norcross' Hurricane Almanac. There's even an AWS document naming the system George, which in this case would be the primary reference. Shall we name it George, or wait for the hurricane re-analysis to do so in HURDAT within the next several years? Thegreatdr (talk) 14:49, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I would wait for HURDAT, personally, as the current title is what it is called more. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:13, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Agree. No need to rush it before it is generally accepted. Infrogmation (talk) 17:27, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Natalie Blair

Natalie Louise Blair (born 16 April 1984) is an Australian actress, best known for her role as Carmella Cammeniti on the Australian television soap opera drama series Neighbours.

Personal life
Blair was born to John Blair on 16 April 1984 and raised in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

Career
Back in early 2003, Blair auditioned for Neighbours and impressed casting director Jan Russ, but she was not cast. Russ contacted Blair six months later and asked her to audition for the role of Carmella Cammeniti. She was cast on the spot as producers needed to fill the gap left by Delta Goodrem's sudden departure. Blair started filming just after she graduated from school.

In 2005, Blair won "Most Popular New Female Talent" at the 47th Annual Logie Awards. Blair was also nominated in 2007 for both the Gold and Silver Logie, for "Most Popular Personality on Australian Television". She was again nominated for both awards in 2008. Blair was crowned "Queen of Teen" at the Dolly Teen Choice Awards at Sydney's Luna Park in 2007.

In December 2007, Blair starred in the Spillers Ltd Production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as Snow White at the Music Hall in Shrewsbury. Blair also sang solo and a cappella the first verse of "Once in Royal David's City" at the annual BBC Shropshire Carols in the Square event in Shrewsbury on 19 December 2007.

Blair left Neighbours after five years in 2008. She then moved to Los Angeles, but returned home later that year to play chief villain Connie Burns in the feature film Stage Fright. Upon completion of the film, also starring Clare Bowen and Jason Smith, Natalie left Queensland and returned to Los Angeles.

Blair returned to Neighbours in March 2011 for two episodes. Also in March 2011, Natalie began shooting the feature film The Sleeping Warrior, portraying the character of Safia. The film was set for release in 2012. A story that connects Hindu spirituality and Australian aboriginal spirituality.

In 2012, Blair returned to Melbourne, Australia to play the lead in the romantic comedy The Groomless Bride. The film also stars underworld figure Chopper Reid.

actor Beau Brady. The pair met on the set of Voodoo Lagoon in 2006 and quietly separated in January 2007, with their split being confirmed by a Neighbours spokeswoman. The pair reportedly split due to Brady's decision to move to Los Angeles to pursue his career.

Blair began a relationship with her Neighbours co-star David Hoflin in 2008. The pair currently live together in Los Angeles. On 10 March 2012, Fiona Byrne of the Herald Sun reported the couple were engaged. They were married on 4 January 2013 in Warburton, Victoria. Blair and Hoflin welcomed their first child, a son, on 29 July 2016.

Ipswich Motorway

The Ipswich Motorway (M7) is a major road that connects Brisbane and Ipswich in South East Queensland, Australia. It commences at the junction of Ipswich Road and Granard Road and proceeds through to the M2 Logan Motorway interchange. It is then signed M2 until the junction of the Warrego Highway and the Cunningham Highway.

It initially passes through the suburbs of Rocklea, Oxley and Darra in south west Brisbane before reaching the eastern suburbs of Ipswich such as Redbank Plains, Goodna and Riverview. The Motorway is directly connected to the M5 Centenary Motorway at Darra and the M2 Logan Motorway at Gailes. In 2008, it was estimated that 80,000 cars use the road daily. In late 2010, this figure had risen to close to 100,000 vehicles per day. In 2002, the morning peak traffic volume was greatest between 7:00 am and 8:00 am. By 2008, the morning peak traffic volume peaked between the hours of 5:00 am and 6:00 am.

The motorway was formed from the original Ipswich Road/Cunningham Arterial Road, which was upgraded during the 1980s and 1990s to form a grade-separated motorway-grade route. The Ipswich Motorway was commissioned on 17 May 1994.

This road consists of two separate state-controlled roads as defined by the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR). The part from Rocklea to Goodna is named Cunningham Arterial Road (number U16) and the other is named as part of the Cunningham Highway (number 17A). Road U16 is part of the state strategic network, and road 17A is part of the national network.

Upgrade
In 2003, planning for an upgrade of the entire road began. The road was identified in the South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan and Program as one requiring urgent attention. An upgrade was needed to improve safety and relieve traffic congestion.

With the Federal Government funding provided, the upgrades were completed from the Centenary Motorway interchange to the Logan Motorway interchange.

The upgrade from four lanes to six between Wacol and Darra was one of the Australian Labor Party's key 2007 federal election promises. The upgrade included widening the Ipswich Motorway from four to six lanes, transformation of the Centenary Highway Interchange to a free-flowing multi level system interchange and work on adjoining service roads that aims to reduce traffic on the motorway by up to 20%. The Federal government has contributed a total of $3.1 billion for the upgrade. The Wacol to Darra section of the motorway was officially opened on 18 April 2010.

The eight kilometres upgrade of the Ipswich Motorway between Dinmore and Goodna started in mid-2009. It was completed in 2012 and officially opened on 15 May 2012. The A$1.95 billion project funded by the Australian Government is delivered by the Origin Alliance consisting of the Department of Transport & Main Roads, Abigroup, Seymour Whyte, Fulton Hogan, SMEC and Parsons Brinckerhoff.

The final section to be upgraded is a 7 km stretch between Darra and Rocklea with its planning finalised in 2011. Stage 1 of the Ipswich Motorway upgrade, the 3km section between Granard Road, Rocklea and Oxley Road, Oxley, has commenced in 2017. Construction works are scheduled for completion in late 2020. This work was completed in April 2021 at a cost of $400 million.

The proposed Goodna Bypass or Northern Bypass of the western section of the M2 was cancelled following the 2007 elections. This 7 km section of new Motorway would have taken traffic from the Warrego and Cunningham Highways to the Logan Motorway interchange including four crossings of the Brisbane River.

Defense against swimmer incursions

Defenses against swimmer incursions are security methods developed to protect watercraft, ports and installations, and other sensitive resources in or near vulnerable waterways from potential threats or intrusions by swimmers or scuba divers.

Risks and threats
The need for military underwater security was demonstrated in World War II by the achievements of frogmen against armed forces facilities such as the Italian frogman actions in WWII. Since the late 1950s, the increasing demand for and availability of sophisticated scuba diving equipment has also created concerns about protecting valuable underwater archaeology sites and shellfish fishing stocks.

The 12 October 2000 USS Cole bombing was not carried out by underwater divers, but did bring renewed attention to the vulnerability they present for naval ships. Divers can swim 100 to 200 yards in about three minutes, and large sonar ranges would be required around ships for security forces to detect underwater swimmers in time to make an effective response.

In March 2005 the Philippine military, while interrogating a captured anti-government terrorist bomber, found that two of Southeast Asia's most dangerous terrorist organizations linked to Al Qaeda were said to be jointly training militants in scuba diving for attacks at sea.

Swimmers can approach from the surface or underwater, each presenting its own detection and deterrence challenges. The interception and apprehension of intruders detected in bodies of water pose unique safety risks.

Zones of operations include:
 * Underwater.
 * At the surface of water.
 * In small boats.
 * In larger vessels.
 * Apprehension of suspected frogmen onshore, before or after they dive.

Potential theaters of operation:
 * In an enclosed security area, e.g. a harbor.
 * In open water to protect submerged artifacts (usually undersea archaeological sites).
 * In open water (often on a frontier) to prevent smuggling.
 * In open water to protect sea life. (This, on a small scale, may be defined to include various known unofficial actions by inshore fishermen to protect their shellfish stocks.)

Recreational divers and underwater security
Maintaining underwater security against intrusion on or under the water has been complicated by the expansion of recreational scuba diving since the mid-1950s, making it unacceptable in most democracies to use potentially lethal methods against any suspicious underwater sighting or sonar echo in areas not officially closed to recreational divers. Routine investigation of all "unidentified frogman" reports would be swamped by reports of recreational divers who were not in military areas.

For a long time it would be easy for diving professionals and other experienced divers to distinguish a sport diver with an open-circuit scuba such as an aqualung from a combat frogman with a rebreather; and legitimate civilian divers are normally fairly easy to detect because they dive from land or from a surface boat, rarely or never from an underwater craft, and willingly advertise their presence for their own safety; but recent multiplication in sport rebreather use may have changed that somewhat.

In the past, when scuba diving was less common, many non-divers—including police, patrol, and guards—knew little about diving and did not know of this difference in diving gear, but described all divers as "frogmen". One result was an incident in the inter-ethnic crisis in Cyprus in 1974 when a tourist was arrested for suspected spying because "frogman's kit" was found in his car; it was ordinary sport scuba gear.

After about 1990, the rapid growth in the number of sport diving rebreather brands has clouded this distinction, while advanced sport divers increasingly tackle longer, deeper, riskier dives using equipment once available only to armed forces or professionals. This means that even techniques for trapping them underwater, disorienting them, or forcing them to the surface would be an unacceptable risk to civilian divers' lives.

Another result of sport diving is a risk of civilians independently re-developing, and then using or selling on the free market, technologies, such as technical advances in underwater communications equipment, formerly kept as military secrets.

There have been incidents which have demonstrated poor underwater security, such as when a sport diver with a noisy, bubbly, open-circuit scuba and no combat training entered a naval anchorage and signed his name on the bottom of a warship.

Detection
The MSST (Maritime Safety and Security Team) is a United States Coast Guard harbor and inshore patrol and security team who specialize in Naval Security.

Besides the visual detection by guards, a number of other systems are also used by security forces to prevent infiltration by frogmen.

Underwater

 * Ultrasound detection
 * Artificial intelligence and electronic neural networks and developments in ultrasound have made possible specialized diver-detector sonars.

Examples of diver-detecting active sonar systems are:

 * Trained animals
 * Trained dolphins and sea lions can find submerged divers. Both can see, and hear direction of sound, well underwater, and dolphins have natural sonar.
 * The United States Navy’s MK6 Marine Mammal System is supported by SPAWAR and uses dolphins to find and mark mines and divers in the water. This system was used in:
 * Vietnam in 1970–71.
 * Persian Gulf in 1987–1988.
 * San Diego harbor for security during the 1996 Republican National Convention.

 * Remote-controlled underwater vehicles
 * A remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) could search for submerged divers; but ROVs are expensive to run, and as technology is now could not attack several targets one after another as quickly as a marine mammal.
 * An underwater ROV needs to be controlled. It could find and identify divers, and perhaps deter them. It should not be easily overpowered or attacked or outpaced by the suspect divers. If it is to attack the suspects, it should carry a suitable weapon.

 * Surface ROV
 * A surface ROV can move on its own and scan below itself with sonar, but without a long-range weapon it can do little against deeply submerged suspect divers.

Surveillance of civilian divers
A few sources claim the FBI asked the US's largest scuba diver certification organizations to turn over the records of all divers certified since 1998; this turning-over is now done once a year.

Sound
The main effects of ultrasound on the human body are heating and cavitation. Analysis of research literature related to effects of ultrasound concluded that reported ultrasound-caused organ damage was associated with sound pressure levels exceeding a certain intensity threshold, regardless of frequency The UPSS/IAS diver-detector sonar system includes an underwater shockwave emitter.

Westminster International have implemented audible sound based defense systems. These systems irritate or cause pain to the target's ears. Diver aversion to low frequency sound is dependent upon sound pressure level and center frequency.

Underwater firearms
Underwater firearms fire a steel rod, not a bullet, for better range underwater. They are all more powerful than a speargun, and can fire several shots before reloading. Their barrels are not rifled; the fired projectile is kept in line underwater by hydrodynamic effects, and is somewhat inaccurate when fired out of water.

Other underwater man-carried weapons

 * For a long time the diver's standard weapon and tool has been a heavy knife.
 * A catalog issued in 1991 by Life Support Engineering (now Mercury Products) contained several military / commando type diving kit items and also a compressed-air powered speargun.
 * Underwater, a baton would have to be used for thrusting or jabbing, not swung, due to water resistance, and designed accordingly. The target's solar plexus will probably be protected by his diving gear.

Trained animals
The United States Navy has deployed sea lions to detect divers in the Persian Gulf. The sea lion is trained to detect the diver, connect a marker buoy to his leg by a C-shaped handcuff-like clamp, surface, and then bark loudly to raise the alarm. 20 sea lions have been trained for this at the US Naval Warfare Systems Center in San Diego. Some have been flown to Bahrain to help the Harbor Patrol Unit to guard the US Navy's 5th Fleet. Sea lions adapt easily to warm water, can dive repeatedly and swim up to 25 mph, can see in near-darkness, and can determine the direction of underwater sound. In training the sea lions have been known to chase divers onto land.

From 1970 to 1980 trained dolphins killed two Soviet frogmen who were putting limpet mines on a US cargo ship in Cam Ranh bay in Vietnam. Subsequently, Soviet PDSS frogmen were trained to fight back against trained dolphins. In an incident on the coast of Nicaragua, PDSS frogmen killed trained anti-frogman dolphins. The arrival of underwater rifles and pistols has likely reduced the threat of trained animals.

Animals, unlike ROVs etc., need to be fed and kept in training whether they are needed at work or not, and cannot be laid aside in a storeroom until needed.

Remote-controlled underwater vehicle, as weapon
A ROV, as well as searching, could be equipped to arrest or attack divers on command, but with their technology as it is could not attack several targets one after another as quickly as a marine mammal. A surface-only ROV would need a long-range weapon to be effective against deeply submerged suspect divers.

Restricting public access to frogman-type diving gear, or to any diving gear

 * Siebe Gorman had a policy in Great Britain until around 1956 of keeping prices of aqualungs too high for most civilians to afford; legal restrictions on exporting currency stopped people from importing cheaper foreign aqualungs. See Timeline of underwater technology for how this barrier broke down, starting with British sport divers making their own aqualungs from ex-RAF cylinders and converted Calor gas regulators.
 * The Subskimmer, which is useful for covert underwater penetration, took decades to develop and passed through at least three firms and is still too expensive for sport divers and sport diving centers.
 * Siebe Gorman consistently refused to sell rebreathers to the civilian public. Mixture rebreather development was kept away from the public eye and the sport scuba trade until the end of the Cold War in 1991. As a result, when North Sea Oil exploration started in the 1960s, the oil drilling firms needing deep-dive work had to develop nitrox diving techniques independently, from concept up, without using the Royal Navy's know-how; and then the Navy revealed that they had used nitrox diving (which the Navy called "mixture") before 1945.
 * In the US, military rebreathers were not marketed to the public primarily due to cost and attendant legal liability issues. Legal issues still tend to discourage the development and sale of the rebreather in the US, though acceptance and use is growing. The US military has not tried to stop sales of rebreathers to the public in the US. It has realized that recreational SCUBA has now exceeded earlier military SCUBA in quality, and hopes that a similar increase in quality and decrease in price will come from commercial-off-the-shelf rebreather equipment.

Prevention technology
Technology exists where underwater speaker systems can be deployed around the designated area. This array of speaker systems can be programmed to send high powered frequencies which then blasts powerful 'disruption' signals into the water. The frequencies have a maximum disorientation effect on the diver(s), which induce discomfort or panic causing them to leave the area or surface for interception. In cases where the divers remain in the water, the frequencies are likely to have a continued adverse effect which could cause sickness and confusion.

Preventing public access to water
For sport divers and similar who have no means of covert entry, one method is merely to try to stop all divers from reaching water, or stopping them from using boats, in some particular place or area. Such a bylaw may be called for by the military to keep sport divers away from secret underwater sites, or by inshore fishermen to stop alleged poaching of shellfish.

The US has made many such regulations to protect such infrastructure as power plant and nuclear plant water intakes and discharges, bridge foundations, harbor and pier installations, and naval facilities.

Yugoslavia forbade all sport diving except a few Government-controlled groups, and required official permission for each campaign of archaeological or scientific diving.

The Project Hate MCMXCIX

The Project Hate MCMXCIX (often referred to as TPH) is a Swedish death metal band with influences from electro-industrial music.

History
The Project Hate MCMXCIX was formed in 1999 by long-time friends Lord K Philipson (formerly of Leukemia, House of Usher, Lame, Toolshed, Torture Division, as well as doing session work as live bassist/guitarist for Candlemass, Vomitory, Dark Funeral and Grave over the years) and Jörgen Sandström (previously of Vicious Art, Krux, Entombed, Grave, Torture Division and live bassist/guitarist for Candlemass, Misery Loves Co, Kongh, to name a few).

TPH recorded a three-song demo in the end of 1998, produced by famous producer Dan Swanö and featuring backing vocals by Entombed A.D. vocalist Lars-Göran Petrov. The demo was sent out to four labels and in 1999 they signed with the Germany-based Massacre Records, making 1999 the official starting year as things took off from there.

In 1998, the band recorded a Philipson-conceived project, Deadmarch: Initiation of Blasphemy, but the album initially never saw the light of day. It has since been mastered by Dan Swanö and was released on Vic Records 30 November 2009, with new album artwork and booklet.

By the end of 1999, The Project Hate recorded their debut album, Cybersonic Superchrist, which was released in the year 2000. During the recording, female singer Mia Ståhl joined the band. Although reviews were positive, the album was not a commercial success since it was not distributed widely.

The following year, the band recorded their second album, When We Are Done, Your Flesh Will Be Ours, in the late Nasum frontman Mieszko Talarczyk's Soundlab Studios. It was released in 2001, but like the first album, was only with difficulty available in stores.

In 2002, Petter S. Freed of 2 Ton Predator joined as a touring guitarist, then as a permanent member; Mia Ståhl was fired and replaced with Jonna Enckell; later that year, the band left Massacre Records and signed with Threeman Recordings. A live album was recorded in Helsinki, Finland, titled Killing Hellsinki, which was released in April 2003. Afterwards, the band went back to Soundlab Studios and Mieszko Talarczyk to record Hate, Dominate, Congregate, Eliminate.

In early 2005, the band began recording their fourth studio album, Armageddon March Eternal - Symphonies of Slit Wrists, with Dan Swanö. Michael Håkansson of Evergrey joined the band as a bassist during the recording, and later joined the band full-time. Armageddon March Eternal was released by Threeman Recordings in October 2005.

In 2006, the band left their record label and eventually signed with Peter Stormare's record label, StormVox. The band added drummer Daniel Moilanen for their upcoming album, to have live drums for the first time since the band's creation. The fifth studio album, In Hora Mortis Nostræ, was released September 2007. Distribution deals were being sorted in the remainder of 2007 to get the album out as widely as possible, with little success.

In July 2009, the band released its sixth full-length studio album The Lustrate Process on Vic Records.

2010 brought about a change within the band as Jo Enckell was relieved from her duties as vocalist, being replaced by ex-Witchbreed's Ruby Roque. Bassist, Michael Håkansson was announced as being no longer a part of the band following his absence from the band's previous album 'The Lustrate Process'. The bass from that point has been taken care of by Lord K Philipson. A third member, drummer Thomas Ohlsson was replaced by ex-Vomitory/Torture Division drummer Tobias 'Tobben' Gustafsson.

2014 brought another set of changes to The Project Hate. It was announced that Ruby Roque was relieved from duties, and renowned drummer Dirk Verbeuren would be taking up the drums. The name of the new female singer is Ellinor Asp.

Apart from Philipson, there are no longer any fixed members in the band (only Jörgen Sandström has been there since the beginning with Philipson), but a wide array of musicians are brought in for each recording to help realize Philipson's vision for TPH.

Number of species
This table appears to be inaccurate, or at least does not reflect the information on other Wikipedia pages. For example, the table gives the number of Calochilus species occurring in W.A. as 27, but the Calochilus page lists only 6 of the 27 species as being from W.A. The table gives "~130" species of Corybas but FloraBase only has 4. I intend to edit this list according to the numbers of species given in FloraBase. There may be genera not listed in the table - I'll work on that. ✅ Gderrin (talk)
