Jerome Taylor

Jerome Everton Taylor (born 22 June 1984) is a Jamaican cricketer who has played as a fast bowler for the West Indies. Taylor eventually picked up 100 wickets for the Windies in both tests and odis. During 2017 he reversed an initial decision to retire from international cricket. Taylor has also featured for Jamaica, English sides Somerset, Leicestershire and Sussex, CPL teams St Lucia Zouks and Jamaica Tallawahs and IPL sides Pune Warriors and Mumbai Indians in his cricketing career. Taylor was a member of the West Indies team that won the 2016 T20 World Cup. He is the only bowler to have ever taken a hat-trick in a Champions Trophy match, which he did in the 2006 tournament against Australia, and that was the first hat-trick taken by a West Indian bowler in the ODI format.

Early playing days
As a youngster, Taylor was introduced to cricket by his father who also was a cricketer in his own right. Though he took up carpentry and track and field in his teenage years, he remained fond of cricket for the most part. As he grew up wanting to become a fast bowler, admiring legends such as Wasim Akram, Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh and Glenn McGrath. Taylor made his ODI debut on 11 June 2003, claiming 2 for 39 in the 3rd one day international against Sri Lanka at the Arnos Vale Ground, St Vincent and the Grenadines. During his debut season for Jamaica, he was named the most promising fast bowler of the 2003 Carib Beer Cup, picking up 21 wickets at an average of 20.14. Soon after he was selected onto the West Indies's 14 man squad for the first test against Sri Lanka. Taylor made his debut in the first test played at the Beausejour Stadium in St Lucia. He eventually dismissed Marvan Atapattu to pick up his first test wicket, in the 2nd and final test of the series played at Sabina Park, Jamaica.

Later career
On 30 June 2006, Taylor picked up his first five wicket haul on day one of the fourth test of India's 2006 tour of the Caribbean. He then established himself as a regular in the ODI side as the Windies' leading wicket-taker during the DLF Cup in Malaysia with eight dismissals. He was also selected for the 2006 Champions Trophy and claimed four wickets in the preliminary games against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. He later took a hat-trick in West Indies' opening group game of the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy against Australia, becoming the first West Indian to achieve such a feat in a one-day international. Earlier, Taylor had bowled Ricky Ponting for just 1. With 21 runs required and 14 balls remaining, Taylor had Michael Hussey bowled for 13, then dismissed Brett Lee lbw on the very next but last ball of that over. Returning to deliver the final over, he bowled Brad Hogg to complete the hat-trick. He finished with four for 49, which was his second-best ODI figures. Taylor picked up a total of 13 wickets to be the leading wicket taker in that edition of the tournament. He also shares the record, with Pakistan's Hasan Ali for being the highest wicket taker in any edition of the ICC Champions Trophy. On 20 November 2006, Taylor claimed 5 for 37 in the first innings of the second test against Pakistan at the Multan Cricket Stadium, Multan. Taylor went on to win the Emerging Player of the Year award at the 2007 WIPA Awards.

On 7 December 2007 Taylor claimed a matchwinning haul of 5 for 48 in the 4th ODI against Zimbabwe at the Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo. He was also named the man of the match for his feats with the ball in that encounter. On 16 December 2007 he took a triple wicket maiden in the 1st T20I against South Africa at the Sahara Oval. He also won Jamaica Cricketer of the Year, on 3 December 2008, at the Jamaica Cricket Association's annual function held at the Courtleigh Auditorium in New Kingston. On 13 December 2008 Taylor scored 106, his maiden first-class hundred, in the 1st Test against New Zealand at the University of Otago Oval. With 17 fours and eight sixes, his 107 ball century came batting at number 8 in a 153 run partnership with Shivnarine Chanderpaul. On 8 February 2009 he picked up 5 for 11 in the second innings of the first test at Sabina Park, to help the Windies to resounding victory over England. Taylor went on to win an ESPNcricinfo award for the best bowling performance in Test Cricket for 2009.

In September 2014 Taylor scored 40 and later picked up his 100th test wicket, dismissing Robiul Islam for a duck, with eventual second innings figures of 3 for 39 in the Windies' 296 run second test win over Bangladesh. This triumph at Saint Lucia's Beausejour Cricket Ground, capped off a 2-0 whitewash in the test series. On 11 October 2014 he claimed his 100th wicket in one day internationals, bowling Shikhar Dhawan for a duck. This came in the 2nd ODI of the Windies 2014 tour of India played at the Feroz Shah Kotla Ground.

He later took career best figures of 6 for 47 in the first innings of the second and final test of Australia's 2015 tour of the Caribbean. On 23 September 2016, Taylor along with Dwayne Bravo, put together a 66 run partnership during the 1st T20I against Pakistan, played at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In so doing they both set the record for the highest ever 9th wicket partnership in T20I history.

Domestic career
Taylor joined English county cricket side Leicestershire in the summer of 2007. During the 2009 IPL auction he was picked up by the Kings XI Punjab for that season's tournament. However, due to injuries sustained from a vehicular accident he was unable to feature and was thus replaced by South African left arm seamer Yusuf Abdulla. In July 2016 Taylor joined Caribbean Premier League side St Lucia Zouks. On 3 April 2016 Taylor joined IPL outfit Mumbai Indians, as a replacement for injured Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga, for the remainder of the 2016 IPL season. On 24 April 2017 he signed up with Sussex to play in the Royal London One Day Cup. He later took a hattrick in an eventual defeat to Essex in the One Day Cup. He then moved to Somerset in July 2018 to feature in the county's Vitality Blast campaign. He later took 5 for 15 in a 16 run win over Hampshire at Taunton. Taylor became only the third Hampshire bowler to claim a five wicket haul in T20 cricket. He eventually played 44 matches picking up 22 wickets at an average of 16.64 during his debut season at the club. In February 2020 Taylor signed a three-year deal with Gloucestershire as a Kolpak player.

Coupling loss

Coupling loss, also known as connection loss, is the loss that occurs when energy is transferred from one circuit, circuit element, or medium to another. Coupling loss is usually expressed in the same units—such as watts or decibels—as in the originating circuit element or medium.

Coupling loss in fiber optics refers to the power loss that occurs when coupling light from one optical device or medium to another. (See also Optical return loss.)

Coupling losses can result from a number of factors. In electronics, impedance mismatch between coupled components results in a reflection of a portion of the energy at the interface. Likewise, in optical systems, where there is a change in index of refraction (most commonly at a fiber/air interface), a portion of the energy is reflected back into the source component.

Another major source of optical coupling loss is geometrical. As an example, two fibers coupled end-to-end may not be precisely aligned, with the result that the two cores overlap somewhat. Light exiting the source fiber at a portion of its core that is not aligned with the core of the receiving fiber will not (in general) be coupled into the second fiber. While some such light will be coupled into the second fiber, it is not likely to be efficiently coupled, nor will it generally travel in an appropriate mode in the second fiber.

Similarly, even for two perfectly aligned cores, where there is a gap of any significant distance between the two fibers, there will be some geometric loss due to spread of the beam. Some percentage of the light rays exiting the source fiber face will not intersect the second fiber within its entrance cone.

Azaka Medeh

Zaka (also known by various names such as: Kouzin, Couzen, Azake, Mazaka, Azaka Medeh, Mede, Papa Zaka, Zaka, Papa Zaca, Cousin Zaca, etc.) is the loa of the harvest in Haitian Vodou mythology. Another way to reference this loa is through the name "Azaka Médé".

The Cousin Zaka or Zaka is the loa of the harvest. This loa wears a red handkerchief.

He is said to have evolved after the Haitian Revolution when enslaved people were able to own land. Depicted as a farmer who loves to eat, he is kind and gentle and he has no alternate sinister (petro) form. He is seen as a protector of peasants and defender of the poor, and is identified with Saint Isadore. He is celebrated and affiliated with Labor Day in Haiti (May 1).

The name Zaka is said to have come from the language of the Indigenous Taino people, in which "zada" meant corn, and "maza" meant maize.

Asaka is the loose female interpretation of him as mother of the earth in the Broadway musical Once on This Island. Asaka is the mother of the earth as she oversees plants and all growing things. This goddess is thought to be the reason for flourishing herbs, more plants to cover the earth, and the never-ending production of these plants. She is thought to have a hand in keeping trees green and productive, for all eternity.

Variant title - which one to use?
Regarding Umiński's  W nieznane światy. It had ~10 editions, from third or so the title changed to Na drugą planetę. Which one to use? (No wiki article yet, I'll translate my entry from pl:Na drugą planetę eventually). Also, which date do we prefer? Magazine publication or book publication? 1894 vs 1895 for the record. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:41, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Definitely prefer the original publication date. My intuition says to prefer the title used by the original edition, but I suppose if later sources typically refer to it by the other title we should use that one? TompaDompa (talk) 11:47, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I think source usage vary (and, sigh, at least one "reliable" soruce I found had an error claiming those were seaprate works, and calling the one with the later title a "sequel"). Btw, when you say original date, do you mean magazine or book? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:23, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Whichever came first, which in this case is the magazine. Likewise, H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds was first published in 1897 as a serial and then in book format in 1898, and should be referred to as an 1897 work. There are some cases where it's not quite that simple, and I think those have to be decided on a case-by-case basis. For instance, George Griffith's A Honeymoon in Space was first published as the serial Stories of Other Worlds in Pearson's Magazine in 1900 before being published in book format under the title A Honeymoon in Space in 1901, but the serial was substantially abridged (not the novel expanded, mind you – the magazine version left out material that had already been written) so I've opted to refer to it as a 1901 novel. Something like John W. Campbell's Islands of Space (which we discussed recently at Talk:Warp drive/Archive 1), which was published as a serial in 1931 but not published as a book until a quarter of a century later in 1957, is probably more appropriately referred to as a 1931 work than a 1957 work – even though the book version was "extensively edited" according to our article. Fix-up novels should in my opinion always be explicitly labelled as such and given the date of the fix-up publication rather than that of the original stories (which may have been written across a fairly long period of time). TompaDompa (talk) 08:59, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Image of canals
Perhaps something from commons:Category:Martian canals may be of use? Note subcategories (Lowell's work). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:45, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
 * We currently use File:The_American_Museum_journal_(c1900-(1918))_(17539936613).jpg (the FAC raised copyright questions about File:Lowell_Mars_channels.jpg that I sidestepped by replacing it). It's in the "Nostalgic depictions" section, however; I didn't want to have both the Sagan quote and an image in the "Canals" section so as not to overcrowd it, and I prioritized the quote (easier to find another spot for the image than for the quote). TompaDompa (talk) 11:51, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Should we split Martians?
The trope of Martians (life on Mars in fiction) might have stand-alone notability. If split, this topic could be then shortened here. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:25, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It's certainly notable, though that of course does not necessarily mean that covering it in a separate article is the best approach (WP:PAGEDECIDE). I don't think we should shorten the part of this article that deals with that aspect of the topic as I think it is WP:PROPORTIONATE (but then I would think that, wouldn't I?), but creating a new article and writing even more about it is of course an option. I'm inclined to think the current approach is probably the best one at least for now, but I'm open to suggestions. TompaDompa (talk) 21:06, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree that expanding this even further in a dedicated article would be preferable to shortening anything here. Just wanted to highlight that Martians (or Martian (alien)?) is an article that needs to be created one day. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:29, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

William Pidgeon

William Edwin Pidgeon, aka Bill Pidgeon and Wep, (1909–1981) was an Australian painter who won the Archibald Prize three times. After his death, cartoonist and journalist Les Tanner described him: "He was everything from serious draftsman, brilliant cartoonist, social observer, splittingly funny illustrator to multiple Archibald prizewinner.

Pidgeon was born on 7 January 1909 in Paddington, an inner suburb of Sydney. He was the son of Frederick Castledine Pidgeon and Thirza Jessie Pidgeon, née White. He was educated at Sydney Technical High School. Pidgeon served in the Royal Australian Navy Reserve between 1927 and 1930 (Service Number S6342).

Pidgeon was married twice. He married Jessie Graham in 1933. They had one son in 1944. The same year he moved to Northwood, New South Wales where he lived for the remainder of his life. After Jessie's death, he married Dorothy Lees and a second son was born in 1959. From 1954 he suffered from glaucoma in both eyes. This condition led to gradual deterioration of his eyesight and necessitated six operations. In 1965 Hazel de Berg interviewed him as part of an oral history project to interview Australian artists. He died 16 February 1981 aged 72 years.

Cartoonist Les Tanner studied under Pidgeon.

Career

Pidgeon began his drawing career by doing comic illustrations for his Technical High School magazine; at 16 years of age he began a newspaper artist cadetship at The Sunday Times. He studied for a period of 6 months under J. S. Watkins In September 1926, at the age of 17, he had his first comic strip published. The Trifling Triplets appeared in The Sunday News. He was also published regularly in the (Sydney) Evening News where he was employed as a cadet artist. He also worked in Sydney for the Daily Guardian, the Sun, the World and the Sydney Daily Telegraph. Editor George Warnecke soon employed Pidgeon as an illustrator on the Smith's Weekly. He also illustrated for The Telegraph in the 1930s.

Art Reviews

Pidgeon wrote occasional art reviews for the Daily Telegraph for a number of years, and returned to this in 1974 when his eyesight was failing.

The Australian Women's Weekly
Warnecke asked Pidgeon to help produce a dummy for a new magazine The Australian Women's Weekly which he did. Warnecke took the idea to media proprietor Frank Packer. The first issue was published 10 June 1933. Pidgeon commenced his career illustrating for the magazine starting with the first issue where he illustrated a short article on the scotch terrier. Pidgeon collaborated with humourist Lennie Lower during the late 1930s. This collaboration contributed to the magazine achieving the highest circulation in Australia.

In and Out of Society

Pidgeon used the moniker Wep for the In and Out of Society comic strip which entered the pages of The Weekly in September 1933. It had a theme of the emancipated woman. The leading lady dominated the strip and most of Wep's gentle humour saw the male on the receiving end. Pidgeon used an extreme style that has been considered comic, original and modern in approach and has influenced humorous artists since. Although the strip continued through to the 1970s and drawn by other artists, Wep's work on the strip made it a household name.

War Correspondent

Pidgeon was a war correspondent for The Australian Women's Weekly (Consolidated Press). He visited Darwin, Northern Territory, Papua New Guinea, Morotai and Borneo. He produced cartoons, illustrations and paintings which were produced as covers.

He continued to provide cartoons and art work, including covers until he left full time employment with the Weekly in 1949 with an agreement to do occasional work which he did through the 1950s.

Portrait Painting
Pidgeon left The Weekly in 1949 to pursue portrait painting. Commissioned portraits became his livelihood over the next twenty-five years. He was a member of the Journalists' Club Sydney and painted the portraits of practically every club president up to 1976. Some of his subjects included:

 * Don Angel
 * Arthur Crouch
 * Keith Newman
 * Syd Nicholls
 * Jack Paton
 * Con Simons
 * Kenneth Slessor
 * E. G. Theodore, Australian politician
 * John Christopher Thompson, Catholic priest and educationalist
 * Sir William Gaston Walkley, oil company director
 * King Watson
 * Fannie Whitely, family friend and brother of artist Brett Whiteley.
 * Jerry Wilkes

He also enjoyed painting landscapes and other styles.

Archibald Prize
Pidgeon won the Archibald Prize three times. In 1958 with a portrait of journalist Ray Walker, in 1961 with a portrait of Rabbi Dr I Porush and in 1968 with a portrait of fellow artist and friend, Dr Lloyd Rees.

Pidgeon was a member of the Journalists' Club Sydney. His first painting of Club President Ray Walker won the 1958 prize.

The 1961 portrait of Rabbi Dr. I. Porush was commissioned for the Great Synagogue by Randwick bookmaker and horse breeder Mr. A. Davis, to mark the Rabbi's twenty-one years of service and in memory of Davis's younger sister Ettie. Pidgeon had competed in every prize since 1949. This was his second win.

Pidgeon was one of four local artists represented on the Lane Cove Art Panel. In March 1968, at the suggestion of this panel, Lane Cove Council commissioned Pidgeon to paint a portrait of Lloyd Rees for their art collection. The painting was subsequently entered in the 1968 Archibald Prize competition and won. The portrait was to hang in the Lane Cove town hall.

Publications
Pidgeon was invited to illustrate a number of books, and in some cases book covers:

 * Willis, Collins. Rhymes of Sydney by Collins Wills and "Wep". First published in 1933. New edition 1982. ISBN 0959359214
 * Raffaello, Carboni. The Eureka Stockade: the consequences of some pirates wanting on quarter-deck a rebellion, with an introduction by Herbart V. Evatt and illustrated by W. E. Pidgeon
 * Simpson, Colin. Come Away Pealer, 1952 [Jacket design only]
 * Warren, Marian. No Glamour in Gumboots, 1958
 * Cullota, Nino (John O'Grady) They're a Weird Mob, 1959

Pidgeon's paintings are held in the collections of the following organisations:

 * Australian War Memorial
 * Government House (Sydney)
 * Great Synagogue
 * National Library of Australia
 * National Museum of Australia
 * National Portrait Gallery
 * New South Wales Art Gallery
 * Newcastle Art Gallery
 * Parliament House
 * Royal Prince Alfred Hospital

 * Sydney Children's Hospital
 * University of New England
 * University of New South Wales
 * University of Sydney

Legacy
In 1988 Bloomfield Galleries, New South Wales held an exhibition of Pidgeon's war paintings.

In 1997 the Journalists' Club Sydney closed. The Archibald Prize winner painting of club President Ray Walker went missing. In May 2020 the Art Gallery of New South Wales put a call out for its return.

Over 400 works of art by Pidgeon were donated to the Australian War Memorial in 2014. These included illustrated letters to his wife while working as a war correspondent and artist with Consolidated Press in New Guinea, Borneo, and Morotai in 1943–1945. It also includes his War Correspondent's Licence and Identification Card and paintings, sketches, drawings, photographs, and other ephemeral material relating to his time as a war correspondent. The collection was one of the largest donations received by the Memorial over the past ten years. The Memorial holds the most comprehensive collection of Pidgeon's work in Australia.

In 2015 the Australian War Memorial held an exhibition William Edwin Pidgeon (1909-1981), war correspondent and artist which presented a selection of over 400 works held in the Memorial's collection.

User:GraemeMcRae

Hi, my name is Graeme McRae. In my short time here, I'm amazed by how much I've learned — not just facts, from reading Wikipedia articles, but also matters of style, cooperation, and different points of view. And I've learned there's no shortage of work to do, if that strikes your fancy. And, for me, it does. I used to get annoyed at websites with minor errors. Sometimes I would send an email to the owner of the website, asking for a correction, but more often I would just let it go. But I was still annoyed. With the Wiki projects, I can just fix it on the spot. I love that! But I've tried to start slow: make a change, and then sit back and see if it gets reverted. Sometimes my idea of a mistake is another person's idea of exactly the way it should be. And that's OK. When I make a change, I explain it. When someone reverts my change, they explain their thinking. If I feel I still have a point worth pressing, I'll dash off a note to that other user's talk page, and we'll continue the conversation from there. This is how I've learned so much about style and cooperation. (My contributions)

In addition to my work here on and the other Wiki sites, I have a personal webpage that I use kind of as a blog, for ranting about (or appreciating) various things, and a math page that I use for describing some very cool things about math, in a way that might help people understand them.

If you would like to leave me a message, edit my User Talk page, and put your comment at the bottom. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Talk:Fred Cherry

new article
Hi. I just set this article up, and as you can see, I'm not completely familiar with all of the tags, including the one that sends up that sign saying "this article is a stub". Which it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.182.172.109 (talk) 20:46, October 11, 2005

contradiction
"especially gays, who opposed NAMBLA and supported the legalization of prostitution."

it seems that he was against gays because they were against the legalization of prostitution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.152.52.113 (talk) 08:49, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

 * I believe I may have been one of the people thus libeled by Fred Cherry. But Cherry would often make insanely outlandish accusations against gays on Usenet, even those who attempted to find consensus by declaring their opposition to the NAMBLA bugaboo and voicing their support of the legalization of prostitution. This was one of the things that made him so vexing.

 * I'm assuming that is what was meant, so, at the risk of being WP:OR, I'm clarifying the entry to read "... especially gays, even those who opposed NAMBLA and supported the legalization of prostitution." Rangergordon (talk) 07:42, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

A First Attempt
This is a try. I've arranged lots of songs, but don't have many citations to support this yet. In addition, although the examples I've used should be fairly recognizable to most people, I'm sure there are many to whom they will mean nothing. I'll try to improve this soon. lawman

I've added a 'see also' section at the bottom linking the site to the lead guitar article, i'll make a link in the lead guitar article as well.

Academy of Medical Sciences (United Kingdom)

The Academy of Medical Sciences is an organisation established in the UK in 1998. It is one of the four UK National Academies, the others being the British Academy, the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society.

Its mission is to advance biomedical and health research and its translation into benefits for society. The Academy consists of a group of around 1,400 Fellows elected from fields across the biomedical sciences. The Academy seeks ultimately to advance medical science and improve health by investing in talented researchers, engaging people on health-related issues and providing expert impartial advice. its president is Professor Andrew Morris CBE FRSE PMedSci.

History
The Academy was established in 1998 following the recommendations of a working group chaired by Michael Atiyah, former president of the Royal Society. A single national organisation was formed to support biomedical scientists and clinical academics working together to promote advances in medical science. It is one of the four learned academies in the United Kingdom, alongside the Royal Society, Royal Academy of Engineering and British Academy. The intention of the founders was to create a national resource outside the framework of Government, with the expertise and authority to deal with scientific and societal aspects of public policy issues in healthcare.

The formation of the Academy occurred against a backdrop of increasing fragmentation and specialisation within the medical profession. The Academy merged with the Novartis Foundation in 2008, and moved to a dedicated headquarters building at 41 Portland Place in October 2010. This building provides office space for its staff members, and has rooms for events and conferences.

Policy
Areas of policy work originate from within the Academy Council and wider Fellowship, and in response to consultations from the government, Parliament and other relevant bodies. work included reports on improving public health by 2040, using animals in research, diabetes and obesity, the use of data in medical research and the use of non-human primates in research.

Careers
The Academy's National Mentoring and Outreach Scheme was established in 2002 and is supported by the UK Department of Health, the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and NHS Education for Scotland. The programme provides one-to-one mentoring by Academy Fellows for Clinical Lecturers and Clinician Scientist Fellows. It also offers activities for Academic Clinical Fellows, Clinical Training Fellows and MB PhD students.

Grants
The Academy's funding schemes focus on areas of specific and specialist need, addressing perceived shortages within key speciality areas, and international collaboration. Schemes include Clinician Scientist Fellowships, Starter Grants for Clinical Lecturers and UK/Middle East Exchange Fellowships.

Public engagement and dialogue
The Academy's public events demonstrate recent research and provide a platform for discussion of the latest science.

Linking academia and industry
The Academy's FORUM brings together biomedical scientists from academia and industry. As well as hosting its own conferences and events, the Academy has made its headquarters at 41 Portland Place available on a private hire basis for industry and commercial events and conferences.

Fellowship

, the Academy has 1416 Ordinary Fellows drawn from fundamental biological sciences, clinical academic medicine, public and population health, health technology implementation, veterinary science, dentistry, medical and nursing care and other professions allied to medical science as well as the basic fundamental mathematics, chemistry, physics, engineering, ethics, social science and the law. The Fellowship represents a national resource in medical science, offering their time and expertise to support the academy's work.

Up to 48 new Fellows are elected to the academy each year. Eight Sectional Committees spanning the range of medical sciences scrutinise candidates and make recommendations to Council for election. Becoming a Fellow indicates that the academy judges individuals to have made "outstanding contributions...to the progress of medical science and the development of better healthcare". Election is often described as "prestigious".

Past and present Honorary Fellows include:
 * Chen Zhu Minister of Health, Ministry of Health, China;
 * Sydney Brenner, Distinguished Professor, Salk Institute;
 * François Gros, Permanent Secretary of ‘Académie des Sciences’, Institut de France;
 * William Castell LVO FCA, President & CEO, GE Healthcare;
 * Professor Françoise Barré-Sinoussi Director, Unité de Régulation des Infections Rétrovirales, Institut Pasteur and Nobel Laureate;
 * Sir Andrew Witty Chief Executive Officer, GSK.

Some of its members are retired and are no longer active in research.

List of presidents

 * 1998–2002   Peter Lachmann (University of Cambridge)
 * 2002–2006   Keith Peters (University of Cambridge)
 * 2006–2011   John Irving Bell (University of Oxford)
 * 2011–2015   John Tooke (University College London)
 * 2015–2020   Sir Robert Lechler (King's College London)
 * 2020-2024 Dame Anne Johnson (University College London)
 * 2024-present Andrew Morris (University of Edinburgh)

Honours
The Academy of Medical Sciences presents numerous awards and lectures and medals to recognise significant achievements within the field of medical science.

Broadcasting Corporation of Newfoundland

The Broadcasting Corporation of Newfoundland (BCN) was the government-owned public radio service of the dominion of Newfoundland. Following Newfoundland's admission as a province of Canada in 1949, the BCN was absorbed into the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and its three main AM radio transmitters remain in operation today as CBC Radio One stations.

History
The radio service was founded in 1939 by the Commission of Government. Later that year, it bought the Dominion Broadcasting Company, owner of VONF (640 AM) in St. John's, from the Avalon Telephone Company, forerunner of NewTel. Not long after taking control, the corporation acquired two transmitters at Mount Pearl that had been built during World War I as Royal Navy HMS Wireless Station (BZM) for North Atlantic communications with Royal Navy ships. BCN's studios were at the sixth floor of the Hotel Newfoundland in St. John's.

For its entire existence, the BCN's general manager was William Fenton Galgay, who had founded Dominion Broadcasting in 1932 with Joseph Butler. Notable broadcasters also included Aubrey MacDonald, known as Aubry Mac, and the musician Robert MacLeod.

BCN accepted advertising on the station whose programming consisted of commercial, educational and entertainment shows. Notable programmes included future Newfoundland Premier Joey Smallwood's The Barrelman, which spun information and history with island folklore, and the Gerald S. Doyle News Bulletin, which interspersed family and community news about islanders with more serious journalism.

In 1943, the BCN opened a second radio station, VOWN in Corner Brook and, after the war, acquired VORG in Gander that had previously been operated by the wartime Canadian military base.

The BCN provided islanders with news of World War II as well as serving as a disseminator of wartime propaganda and as a recruitment tool for the armed forces. After the war, the network provided gavel to gavel coverage of the proceedings of the 1946-1948 Newfoundland National Convention that was elected to determine the future of the dominion. While these broadcasts were closely followed by Newfoundlanders, the loss of advertising revenue from the commercial-free broadcasts hampered BCN's ability to improve its programming.

One of BCN's final acts was to cover the referendums of June 3 and July 22, 1948, on the dominion's future. As the result was to join Canadian confederation, the facilities and staff of the BCN were transferred to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on April 1, 1949, when Newfoundland joined Canada. VONF was renamed CBN, VORG became CBG and VOWN became CBY. Bill Galgay remained as the CBC's Newfoundland regional director until his death in 1966.

All three stations remain in operation as of 2020 as CBC Radio One stations. To this day, all Radio One stations in Newfoundland and Labrador essentially operate as a subsystem within the Radio One network; they simulcast most of CBN's programming during Radio One's local programming blocks.

A CBC Radio comedy series in the 1990s, The Great Eastern, reimagined the BCN as still being in operation as Newfoundland's own independent public broadcaster, and was presented in the format of a parodic arts and culture newsmagazine show produced by the BCN.

Jacana, Victoria

Jacana is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 14 km north of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the City of Hume local government area. Jacana recorded a population of 2,187 at the 2021 census.

Jacana is located north of the Western Ring Road, south of Johnstone Street and between the Craigieburn railway line and Moonee Ponds Creek.

History
The name Jacana was applied to an area between Broadmeadows and Glenroy in the 1950s by the Housing Commission of Victoria (HCV). The name comes from Jacana Avenue, to the east of the Craigieburn railway line (therefore, technically not in Jacana itself). Both the street and the suburb are slightly to the north of the Jacana railway station, which was built to service the suburb in 1959. However, Jacana as a built landscape did not spring fully formed under the aegis of the HCV.

The streets in the southern section of Jacana were laid out in 1923, when 861 lots were offered for sale on land which had formerly been owned by Duncan Kennedy, a farmer in the area from the mid-1840s. The Housing Commission retitled some of the streets (for instance, the jokingly named Emu Parade and Sunset Boulevard, as well as after prominent sports persons who competed in the 1956 Olympics) and built most of the housing stock in this section of Jacana in the 1950s. Only a few houses in Jacana—notably those in Pascoe Vale Road—predate the Housing Commission's arrival in Broadmeadows. In the late 1950s, a picture of the 'daily needs' shopping centre in Emu Parade appeared in the Housing Commission's Annual Report of 1958–59, presumably because it represented the progressive and ever-expanding nature of HCV operations. As the population increased, Jacana Post Office opened on 15 May 1961. The Commission later laid out and built the northern section of Jacana in the early 1970s, the southernmost section of its showcase Meadow Fair estate. A small portion of the southern section of Jacana came under threat in the mid-1960s, when a new branch line was proposed to extend from the Broadmeadows railway line close to the site of Jacana Station, to the new Melbourne Airport. This line was not built.

Construction of the newer area of Jacana took place in the Whitlam era, which ended with the opening of the Broadmeadows Sporting Club, located on the Jacana side of the Moonee Ponds Creek Valley. The club was opened by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam on 10 November 1975—the day before his dismissal by the Governor General, John Kerr. During the 1970s, a major portion of what is now Jacana Reserve was a rubbish dump created to fill a valley containing a small tributary of Moonee Ponds Creek. This area now features two sports ovals.

As is to be expected from a former Housing Commission development in this region, Jacana is a lower-middle or working class area which, because of its planned heritage, enjoys better amenities than many privately developed or unplanned suburbs. It contains the aforementioned shops and Sports Club (which includes a bowling green), small playgrounds, a school and extensive parkland. The north-eastern section of the suburb is the site of the Broadmeadows Community Health Centre, relocated from a site north of Broadmeadows Central to a space long reserved for a hospital.

Schools
Jacana boasted a successful primary school (Jacana Primary School – School Number: 4839 and Motto: "Through Knowledge Success"). The school functioned from 1959 until its demise in 2009, due to the amalgamation of Broadmeadows West, Jacana and Meadowfair North primary schools. Class sizes were large during its early years, but by its closure in 2009, attendance dropped to below 50 students.

The former school site is currently occupied by the Northern School for Autism (for primary and secondary aged students in the Northern Region of Melbourne, formerly the Preston Special Developmental School). The old school site is undergoing renovations, to the interior and exterior, expected to be completed in 2011.

Jacana Progress Association
Community facilities in the wider Broadmeadows area were generally the outcome of community agitation through Progress Associations. The Jacana Progress Association was formed in 1959 and concentrated most of its energies on building a community hall. The Association requested that residents donate two shillings each towards this project, and along with a series of local carnivals, had raised $2 000 by 1968. As this was insufficient to construct a hall, the Association approached non-government bodies with aspirations to locate in the area. St. John's Ambulance was the successful 'bidder' for this and was given the money towards a hall on land which had been donated by the Housing Commission to the Association. It constructed the Hall in Pascoe Vale Road, for its own and the community's use. The Hall was demolished in 2012.

The Jacana Progress Association no longer exists, and little is known of the circumstances of its demise.

Demographics
ABS 2001 statistics for the Jacana reveal a suburb in which 60.4% of the population is Australian-born – the remainder from a variety of sources, only the United Kingdom (3.1%) and Italy (2.6%) exceeding 2%. In 2001 almost 10% of residents were unemployed, and 48.5% were not in the labour force (over 30% of the population is under 18 or over 65). Of those employed, almost a quarter worked in manufacturing, and just over 15% worked in retail.

The majority of Jacana housing, as stated above, was erected by the Housing Commission of Victoria either in the late 1950s, early 1960s or in the early 1970s. It is mainly of brick construction with pre-cast concrete elements as per the HCV method of the 1950s-60s. There are no flats. 91.3% of Jacana residents live in separate houses. 48.3% own their own home, and 26.2% are purchasing their home, a total of 74.5%. The average housing price in Jacana in 2001 was $131,750; today premium streets such as Langton Street and Freeland Grove command prices over $700,000 as a result of the housing boom earlier in the decade. While this is a major increase over a short period of time, prices in Jacana are still far below the average for Melbourne.

Bus
Five bus routes service Jacana:

 * : Broadmeadows station – Roxburgh Park station via Greenvale. Operated by CDC Melbourne.
 * : Roxburgh Park station – Pascoe Vale station via Meadow Heights Shopping Centre, Broadmeadows station, Glenroy Shopping Centre (every day). Operated by Dysons.

 * SmartBus : Chelsea station – Westfield Airport West. Operated by Kinetic Melbourne.
 * Night Bus : Melbourne CBD (Queen Street) – Broadmeadows station via Niddrie and Airport West (Saturday and Sunday mornings only). Operated by Ventura Bus Lines.

Cycling
The Moonee Ponds Creek Trail and the Western Ring Road Trail provide facilities for recreational and commuting cyclists.

Train
Jacana is served by Jacana railway station, on the Craigieburn line. Despite its name, is located in the neighbouring suburb of Glenroy. Broadmeadows station, also on the Craigieburn line, also serves Jacana.

Sport
Jacana Football Club, an Australian Rules football team, competes in the Essendon District Football League.

 * 16) Support. Good edits :).Rhetoricalwater 14:13, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 17) Support. Unfair to accuse him of incivility. The vandal personally attacked him and said that he "hated" him. The response was perhaps a bit immature, but not really so bad. Tfine80 19:01, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 18) Support. Being rude to a newbie who'd made a test would be unacceptable.  Being rude to a persistent vandal when you're getting the hassle this guy has is considerably less serious, and imo is outweighed by all the excellent work he's done.  I trust him not to abuse his admin powers and find it hard to imagine someone more deserving of the rollback button. CTOAGN 01:41, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 22) Support.  Grue  21:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 23) Support. The diffs presented in the oppose column are regrettable, and it would be better if those edits had been made differently. But they are certainly not the worst reactions to vandalism which I have seen here, it does not seem to show a long pattern of incivility, and they are not severe enough to push me into the oppose column. Indeed the history of vandal-fighting and other good work puts me here, among the supporters. Sjakkalle (Check!)  14:25, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Oppose Neutral
 * 1) Oppose I know this RfA will pass even with this oppose vote. I'm making it because of a diff that I find clearly unacceptable for an admin to make. I don't really care what the provocation is, how immature a user is or what the situation is, mocking a user is never an appropriate reaction for an admin to take. This is completely unacceptable. Nick, you'll pass this RfA as it is 36-1 currently. But, please promise you'll never engage in activity like that again. --Durin 21:33, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose, Durin is right, it wasnt acceptable and this was only what..about a week ago. Job  e  6  [[Image:Peru flag large.png|20px]] 23:42, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose. I would really, really like to support, but I have to agree with Durin's comments. I cannot support a user who taunts vandals and seems to have a short temper.  Rob e  rt  23:59, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose per Durin. Temperament is a consideration of utmost importance for admins.  Friday (talk) 00:57, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) Oppose per Jaxl. Too many incidents of incivility. Radiant_ >|< 09:38, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose this time round. Thanks to Durin for above note - I'd checked for incivility but missed any (which probably means it was just an off-day; we all have them).   Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk
 * 7) Oppose as per Durins (and others) comments above. Vandalism and such can be frustrating but I would expect a much higher standard of any admin. If this were a year ago I'd give the benefit of the doubt but it was this month! --Nycmstar 13:54, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 8) Weak Oppose. I am so torn. He's a good vandal fighter, but overall attitude seems harsh and unwelcoming. I believe this RfA will pass, but please be aware of your tone in the future. You note in question 3 that you have never been in conflicts over editing, but that seems to be what a lot of this RfA is about. -- Lord Vold e  mort  (Dark Mark)  17:40, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 9) Weak oppose (changed from "support", after reading above) - your abrasive attitude is probably at least half the reason you are vandalized :-/ Seeing your excellent cleanup work, I want to give you a mop, but please using for scrubbing, not hitting. -DDerby- (talk) 20:35, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 10) Oppose - a noticible fraction of edit summaries in your history are a bit over the top for me, and I feel needs to be toned down before the mop is given. --HappyCamper 22:11, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 2) 'Oppose. I just can't feel comfortable adminning someone with this history of incivility, especially given his stated lack of experience in and techniques for dealing with conflict with other users. With all due respect to Essjay's offer of mentorship, I'd rather see a change in his conduct before making him an admin. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 06:40, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose too many people have pointed out stuff that makes me uncomfortable with this nominee... perhaps later. ALKIVAR ™[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 10:48, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) Oppose — While I feel NickBush24 has done some good work, I expect all admins to be civil and not insult other Wikipedians. Thanks! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk |  WS 18:41, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 5) Very reluctant oppose mmm... tricky one. Definitely be a vandal's worst nightmare if he got the tools, but not too sure about his temperement. That's what's difficult about tempremental vandal-fighters- Giving admin tools may bring both great good and great harm to Wikipedia. I'd like to see more WP-space edits in an admin, though and I guess this pushes my vote toward oppose. Borisblue 21:32, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 6) Oppose per reasons given above gkhan 23:09, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 7) Weakest conceivable oppose. I fully adhere to Borisblue's and DDerby's comments above. Incivility is not a matter to be taken lightly, and stirring the fire when dealing with vandals is the best way to ensure that they'll keep on hitting you and us all. I'm sure you'll make a great admin, but not just yet - a little more time and more control over your reactions and I'll gladly support you.  Shauri  [[Image:Heart.gif|11px]]  smile!  04:49, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 8) Oppose for now - incivility towards another user in recent edit history. Also I've been an admin since March 2004 and my user page hasn't been vandalised anywhere near as much as this user's, which may also be a telling sign. -- Francs2000 [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] 23:35, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I hope that wasn't a suggestion of bad faith... though now re-reading it I think you're saying his reactions cause the returning vandalism. The first time I read it I thought you were suggesting he was the sockmaster of the vandals. R  e  dwolf24  (talk—How's my driving?)
 * No it wasn't a suggestion of bad faith. Yes there are vandals out there however it is my belief that a lot of vandalism towards you can be caused by your own actions towards those users to start with and the evidence of this user's brashness and incivility of recent weeks appears to make this quite clear. -- Francs2000 [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] 23:54, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose, familiarise yourself with WP:BITE and retry. Great apart from that. Proto t c 10:22, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose I wanted to support this, but the evidence of incivility was too much. Keep your record clean, then try again later. Xoloz 15:29, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Oppose, reluctantly, as per the incidents recently brought to light surrounding issues of incivility. Please do not let the vandals get the best of you.  Will gladly support in the future if these actions are not repeated.  Hall Monitor 20:12, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose --Blueballs 03:03, 18 October 2005 (UTC)  Created User Account Today. Karmafist 06:01, 18 October 2005 (UTC)  probable sockpuppet of User:129.15.120.186, who has vandalized this page and is currently blocked for a month --Durin 16:45, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Oppose for now. I'd very much like to support him, but the civility problem and the lack of communication (as per Lord Voldy) is making me leery. On the other hand, the outburst certainly wasn't unprovoked: please refer to this diff to understand NickBush24's reaction. All of us have their bad days. All the same, I'd feel better about this if this wasn't such a recent event. I am hoping that NickBush24 will consider the impact of his uncivil reaction on this discussion, and reform. I would like to see him re-apply in a month; if he can continue his good work with no similar occurences, he'd definitely get my support then. --Ashenai (talk) 13:39, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Oppose, for now, despite excellent work on the whole. My problem is much the same as those above, although I can definitely understand the reactions.  I would advise NickBush24 to read aboutSoft Security, which is the preferable way to deal with vandalism.--Scimitar parley 16:36, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Changed to Neutral per the incidents mentioned in the Oppose section. I don't think Nick will abuse his admin powers, but I don't feel comfortable supporting someone with a history of uncivility. Ac  e  tic  ' Acid  10:07, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) Neutral. I would have supported if not for the incidents of incivility. Assuming he keeps his temper, I'm sure he'll make a great admin. Carbonite | Talk 12:57, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) Neutral The RC good portions were cancelled out by the incivility, but not enough for an oppose vote. Wait a bit, chill out, and keep up the good work against the vandals and you'll have a landslide. Karmafist 04:23, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Comments
 * Wow he's such a good vandal fighter that Im reverting vandalism in this page from annons that don't want this to happen. --JAranda'' | yeah 19:20, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Doesn't seem very interested in talking to the community. Has 2457 article edits (I'm assuming mostly vandal fighting), but only 33 article talk edits and 2 project talk edits.(edits No I don't suffer from editcountitis, I would just like to see more involvement. -- Lord Vold e  mort  (Dark Mark)  17:56, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Other editors are concerned over Nick's ability to remain civil. I have no doubts in my mind that Nick is administrator material, but, if Nick is agreeable, I am willing to serve as an informal mentor to monitor and help Nick avoid incivility in the future. -- Essjay ·    Talk 22:46, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. Basically blocking vandals, keeping an eye on the speedy deletion candidates, and other stuff. Those are the two things I intend to do at the start of my adminship, with more chores coming in the future.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I'd have to say starting the articles for each of the six divisions in Major League Baseball. There's others I'm happy about but can't think of at the moment.
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. Nope, not really. Right now... I'm not quite sure how to deal with it, but I should find a way sometime in the very near future. Currently I just listen to music to help take my mind off it >_>

Charles Harris (photographer)

Charles "Teenie" Harris (July 2, 1908–June 12, 1998) was an American photographer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Harris was known for his photographs of residents and prominent visitors to Pittsburgh, including musicians and baseball players, which often appeared in the Pittsburgh Courier. His work is preserved in the permanent collection of the Carnegie Museum as a chronicle of mid-20th century life in Pittsburgh's African American communities.

Biography
Harris was born in 1908 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, the son of hotel owners in the city's Hill District. Early in the 1930s he purchased his first camera and opened a photography studio. He freelanced for the Washington, D.C. news picture magazine Flash!. From 1936 to 1975 Harris chronicled life in the black neighborhoods of the city for the Pittsburgh Courier one of America's oldest black newspapers. Harris was nicknamed "One Shot" because he rarely made his subjects sit for retakes. Harris took more than 80,000 images during his career.

In addition to his photo essays of daily life in the city, he captured many celebrities who visited Pittsburgh, including Lena Horne, Harry Belafonte, Erroll Garner, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Little Richard and Ray Charles.

Harris also photographed legendary Negro league baseball players of the Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawfords. Harris himself played baseball for the Crawfords when they were known as the Crawford Colored Giants.

In 1986 he licensed his collection of photographs for $3000 to a local entrepreneur, Dennis Morgan. Subsequently, these so-called "Morgan prints" were sold at street fairs in Pittsburgh. Harris filed a lawsuit in 1998 for unpaid royalties and the return of his collection. He won the case posthumously.

Harris died in 1998.

Legacy
Harris' work was rarely seen outside of Pittsburgh until after his death.

In 2001, the Carnegie Museum of Art purchased Harris' collection of 80,000 negatives from his estate. Since 2003, the museum has scanned and cataloged nearly 60,000 images, many of which are available on the online collection database. Through outreach efforts, lectures and special events, and three Teenie Harris Archive Project exhibitions (in 2003, 2006, and 2009), the museum has asked for assistance in identifying the people, places, and events in the images. The Museum staged a retrospective of his work in 2012, and in 2020, opened a dedicated permanent exhibition of Harris' photographs titled In Sharp Focus: Charles ‘Teenie’ Harris.

Lambdoid suture

The lambdoid suture (or lambdoidal suture) is a dense, fibrous connective tissue joint on the posterior aspect of the skull that connects the parietal bones with the occipital bone. It is continuous with the occipitomastoid suture.

Structure
The lambdoid suture is between the paired parietal bones and the occipital bone of the skull. It runs from the asterion on each side.

Nerve supply
The lambdoid suture may be supplied by a branch of the supraorbital nerve, a branch of the frontal branch of the trigeminal nerve.

Clinical significance
At birth, the bones of the skull do not meet. If certain bones of the skull grow too fast, then craniosynostosis (premature closure of the sutures) may occur. This can result in skull deformities. If the lambdoid suture closes too soon on one side, the skull will appear twisted and asymmetrical, a condition called "plagiocephaly". Plagiocephaly refers to the shape and not the condition. The condition is craniosynostosis.

The lambdoid suture can be damaged by a fall backward.

Etymology
The lambdoid suture is named due to its uppercase lambda-like shape.

Zoot Horn Rollo

Bill Harkleroad (born January 8, 1949), known professionally as Zoot Horn Rollo, is an American guitarist. He is best known for his work with Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band. In 2003, he was ranked No. 62 in a Rolling Stone magazine list of "the 100 greatest guitarists of all time".

Early life
Born in Hawthorne, California, Harkleroad was trained as an accordionist as a child but changed to guitar in his teens.

Career
In nearby Lancaster, California, he became involved in local bands. With a future member of the Magic Band, Mark Boston, he joined a band named B.C. & The Cavemen (with Ernie Wood, vocals/guitar and Bruce Newkirk, drums). The two later played in the group Blues in a Bottle along with the future Magic Band guitarist Jeff Cotton. He joined the Magic Band in 1968 after the departure of Alex St. Clair.

After recording Trout Mask Replica and several further albums, he left in 1974, with several other band members, to form Mallard. His book, Lunar Notes, describes some of the tensions that contributed to the split between Captain Beefheart and the other band members.

After the break up of Mallard, Harkleroad had a limited involvement with the music community as a performer. He continued his involvement in another capacity, however, as a record store manager and guitar instructor in Eugene, Oregon.

On November 27, 2001, he released We Saw a Bozo Under the Sea. In 2008, John French (a.k.a. Drumbo) released an album City of Refuge on which Harkleroad played guitar on all twelve tracks.

In 2003, he was ranked No. 62 in a Rolling Stone magazine list of "the 100 greatest guitarists of all time".

In 2013, Harkleroad contributed lead guitar to a psychobilly track on the Eugene-based band Cherry Poppin' Daddies' album White Teeth, Black Thoughts.

User talk:WikiFan04/Today's featured article

A shrimp farm is an aquaculture business designed to raise and produce marine shrimp or prawn for human consumption. Commercial shrimp farming began in the 1970s and production grew steeply to match the market demands of the United States, Japan and the present-day European Union. The majority of farmed species are penaeids, the most popular being the Pacific White Shrimp and the Giant Tiger Pr0n. The total global production of farmed shrimp reached more than 1.6 million metric tonnes in 2003, representing a value of nearly 9,000 million U.S. dollars. About 75% of farmed shrimp is produced in Asia, in particular in China and Thailand. Shrimp farming has evolved from traditional, small-scale businesses in Southeast Asia into a global industry. Technological advances have increased the density at which shrimp can be grown, and broodstock is shipped on a world-wide scale. Ecological problems, repeated disease outbreaks, and pressure and criticism from both NGOs and the consumer countries led to changes in the industry in the late 1990s and generally stronger regulations by governments to improve the sustainability of the practice.

Fantastic Children

Fantastic Children (ファンタジックチルドレン) is a Japanese anime television series created by Takashi Nakamura and produced by Nippon Animation. It first aired in Japan across TV Tokyo between October 4, 2004 and March 28, 2005, totaling 26 episodes. There was an extended ending special released only on DVD.

The series was later translated and dubbed by Animax into English for broadcast across its English-language networks in Southeast Asia and South Asia. It is licensed in North America by Bandai Entertainment, who also produced a separate English dub for release in the region.

Plot
The series opens with the introduction of a group of white-haired children, known as the "Befort Children", named after "Befort", a fictional village in Belgium where their existence was first recorded in 1489. This group of enigmatic children has been spotted at different times and places in Europe for over 500 years. Always with the appearance of 11-year-olds, they behave far more mature than they should be, never grow old, and seem to have supernatural power.

Then the story starts to unfold in 2012 by introducing Helga, an introverted 11-year-old orphan who drew pictures of a land with a crescent moon that she believed was her home. Her playmate and only friend in the orphanage, Chitto, wants to help Helga find it. So together they escape from the orphanage and set out on a journey in which they meet Tohma, an energetic boy in his home, Papin Island. There Tohma tries to befriend them but misunderstands Helga and becomes hostile to her. Later he is mesmerized by Helga's bravery in rescuing Chitto from a group of poisonous insects. Tohma, through his desire to help the two runaway orphans, ventures out on a quest that will eventually cross paths with the mission of the Befort Children, who have spent centuries wandering Europe in search of a person named Tina. As they go further they come to realize a truth far more great and entwined with many other mysterious characters.

Characters
Tohma (トーマ) is the series protagonist. He is an enthusiastic and energetic young boy who lives with his parents on the shores of Papin Island.

Helga (ヘルガ) is a quiet and introverted young girl, whom Tohma helps save from an oppressive orphanage. She is in search of a place which is the source of her paintings.

Chitto (チット) is a good-hearted young boy, who is an earnest and steadfast friend to Helga, and her best friend at the orphanage.

The GED Organization (ゲド機関) is led by Gherta Hawksbee. Gherta uses Conrad Röntgen's findings to reconstruct the Autozone, a machine which brings people back from the Zone, the land of the dead, using Orsel, the life force in all living things. Because of the high levels of Orsel required to bring someone back, however, a person can become very unstable and the Orsel can turn into a sort of weapon. Later, the GED is manipulated by Dumas so that he can send Tina's spirit back to her old body, though this plan does not work.
