Baggage carousel

A baggage carousel is a device, generally at an airport, that delivers checked luggage to the passengers at the baggage reclaim area at their final destination. Not all airports use these devices. Airports without carousels generally deliver baggage by placing it on the floor or sliding it through an opening in a wall.

Operation

Bags are placed on some type of conveyor belt in a secure area not accessible by passengers.

In a single-level system, the belt will deliver bags into the terminal from an opening in the wall. The belt generally runs along the wall for a short distance and then turns into the terminal forming a long oval that allows many passengers to access the belt. The belt continues back to the loading area through a second opening in the wall.

In a multilevel system, the bags are generally loaded from above or below the carousel and then delivered onto a moving oval-shaped carousel. It is common for this type of system to have two delivery belts, increasing the speed with which bags can be delivered to the passenger level.

There is also a variety of carousel that is a combination of the two systems. These occur mainly in Europe. Bags are loaded from an upper level and end up on the rotating carousel, as is normal. However, the very back portion of the oval, in this case, runs in and out of the wall, so it can be accessed by baggage handlers.

Exceptions
Commonly, the following types of checked baggage are not placed on a baggage carousel:
 * Golf clubs in golf bags
 * Surfboards
 * Wheelchairs
 * Bicycles
 * Baby strollers
 * Child car seats
 * Skis

These items are delivered in many ways including:
 * Placing them on the floor
 * Delivered through a special opening
 * Picked up at the customer service office
 * Placed in special racks (common in ski area destinations)

Came across this entry searching for something else. (Ain't that the way?) If it's of any assistance in respect of the play Moondyne Joe I attended two performances at the Regal Theatre in Subiaco in 1985. It was put on by a very long-lived WA Bush Band called "Mucky Duck" bush band, started in the '70s, and friends. A couple of names that were in that line up who you may wish to pursue were Roger Montgomery (Singer, songwriter, raconteur, poet), Roy Abbott (who still sticks his head up occasionally) guitar and vocals, Jerry Everard (Fiddle and vocals), and another whose name escapes me, but I think was "Butch". You may also consider approaching the West Australian Folk Federation. Some of the older members of the WAFF are still around and can probably give some relevant info.

Not the stone's decision
This sentence in Moondyne Joe (with my emphasis here):

contains a dangling modifier - it literally denotes that the stone did not permit him to leave the prison, which presumably was not the case. (If anything, the pile of broken stone subsequently aided his escape!) It should probably be something like

I'm not sure Father Dougal's recent edit, stating Johns was an English convict, is correct. As far as I see it there is no evidence that he viewed himself as English. He's far more likely to have considered himself Cornish given his name and origins. Bodrugan (talk) 15:31, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Skor

Skor is a chocolate toffee bar produced by The Hershey Company. It was first marketed in the United States in 1981 and in Canada starting in 1983. The Skor bar consists of a thin slab of butter toffee covered in a milk chocolate coating. Skor is available as a single- or king-size, wrapped candy bar in a 1.4 oz (39 gram) portion.

The Skor bar was created to compete with the Heath bar, which was produced by the Heath Company but acquired by the Leaf Candy Company and sold to Hershey in 1996. Hershey now markets both of these competitors. The Skor bar is very similar to the Heath bar, but with minor differences such as the Skor bar being slightly thinner.

Helenio Herrera

Helenio Herrera Gavilán (10 April 1910 – 9 November 1997) was an Argentine-French football player and manager. He is best remembered for his success with the Inter Milan team known as Grande Inter in the 1960s.

During his managerial career, Herrera won four La Liga titles in Spain (with Atlético Madrid and Barcelona) and three Serie A titles in Italy with Inter. He also guided Inter to European glory, winning two consecutive European Cups, among several other honours. He is regarded as one of the greatest managers of all time.

Herrera was arguably the first manager to collect credit for his teams' performances, in the process becoming a superstar in the world of football. Up to that time, managers were more marginal figures in a team. All teams throughout Europe were known for their headline-grabbing individual players, e.g. Di Stéfano's Real Madrid, whereas Inter during the 1960s is still referred to as Herrera's Inter.

Early life and playing career
Herrera was born in 1910 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to immigrant parents from Spain. His father Francisco, who worked as a carpenter, was an exiled anarchist originally from Andalusia. His mother, Maria Gavilán Martínez, was a cleaner. In 1920, Herrera's family left Argentina for Casablanca, in what was then French Morocco, in search of a better life. In Casablanca, Herrera started his career as a footballer.

Playing as a central defender, in 1932 the 22-year-old Herrera earned a transfer from RC Casablanca to mainland France, to CASG in Paris. Before the onset of World War II, Herrera (or "H.H." as he was known) had spells at several French clubs. From 1933 to 1935 he was at Stade Français, from 1935 to 1937 at FCO Charleville (where he was called up for the France national team twice), and at Excelsior Roubaix from 1937 to 1939.

During the war, he played for five years at Red Star Paris, Stade Français, EF Paris-Capitale and Puteaux, where he started his managing career in 1944 as a player-manager, before retiring from playing in 1945, at 35 years of age. While he spent his career playing for established French clubs, Herrera did not win any notable silverware. His managing career, which coincided with the early beginnings of UEFA competitions, had a marked effect on the game's tactical development.

Managing career
After his first season in Puteaux, Herrera rejoined Stade Français for a third time, now as manager. After three seasons with no trophies collected, the club's president opted to sell the club. Herrera moved to Spain, where he spent the next six years with Real Valladolid, Atlético Madrid (where he won La Liga in 1950 and 1951), Málaga, Deportivo de La Coruña and Sevilla, before moving to Portugal and a two-year tenure with Lisbon side Belenenses. Later, returning to Spain, he managed giants Barcelona, where he won various titles (including La Liga, twice), but several problems, including disagreements between him and star player Ladislao Kubala, forced him to leave the club in 1960.

He immediately emigrated to Italy and signed with Inter Milan (where he was to remain until 1968), winning three Serie A titles and two European Cups during his stay with the club, where he used a 5–3–2 formation, and modified a tactic known as the Verrou (door bolt) – used by Karl Rappan – to include larger flexibility for counter-attacks; thus, the Catenaccio system was born. The side was later nicknamed Grande Inter, due to the club's successes under Herrera's eight–year spell, which saw the team win back–to–back European Cup titles in 1964 and 1965, as well as three Serie A titles, and two Intercontinental Cup titles. During this time he was also coaching Spain (between 1959 and 1962) and Italy (1966–67).

In 1968, Herrera moved to Roma, where he became the highest paid manager in the world, with a contract worth an estimated £150,000 per year. He won the Coppa Italia in his first season, but relations with club president Alvaro Marchini had already soured over the tragic death of his centre-forward Giuliano Taccola in the team dressing room at an away game against Cagliari. The following season, 1969–70, erratic results in the league gave Marchini the excuse to sack him.

He returned to management for a one-year stint with Inter for the 1973–74 season. Herrera then suffered a heart attack, did not want to coach full-time any more and retired in Venice, where he lived the rest of his life. While inactive between 1974 and 1978, Herrera returned briefly during the end of the decade, managing Rimini, and finally ending his career with a return to Barcelona for one-and-a-half seasons in 1980 and 1981.

Influence
He pioneered the use of psychological motivating skills – his pep-talk phrases are still quoted today, e.g. "he who doesn't give it all, gives nothing", "with ten our team plays better than with eleven" (after his team had to face the second half of a game with only ten players on the field) and "Class + Preparation + Intelligence + Athleticism = Championships". These slogans were often plastered on billboards around the ground and chanted by players during training sessions.

He also enforced a strict discipline code, for the first time forbidding players to drink or smoke and controlling their diet – once at Inter, he suspended a player after telling the press "we came to play in Rome" instead of "we came to win in Rome". He also sent club personnel to players' homes during the week to perform '"bed-checks." He introduced the ritiro, a pre-match remote country hotel retreat that started with the collection of players on Thursday to prepare for a Sunday game.

He was also one of the first managers to call on the support of the "twelfth player" – the spectators. While indirectly, this led to the appearance of the first Ultras movements in the late 60s. While defensive in nature, his understanding of the Catenaccio was slightly different from that practised by other Italian teams and the original Verrou, as he often used the full backs (particularly Giacinto Facchetti) as half backs (defensively supported by the libero) to launch faster counter-attacks, a staple of Italian tactics – yet, he never denied the heart of his team relied on defence.

In 2004, Herrera's widow Fiora Gandolfi (his third wife) released a book called Tacalabala. In it, were collected sayings, sketches and notes from Herrera's notebooks and journals.

Tactics and style of management
Herrera's standard formation at Inter was the 5–3–2 system, which almost always included a sweeper (usually the team's captain, Armando Picchi), as well as four man-marking defenders. He was openly dismissive of teams that had an obsession for dominating ball possession, declaring that "the ball always moves further, and more quickly, when there isn't a player behind it".

Although Herrera's Barcelona side was known for playing a fluid, attacking brand of football, his pragmatic Catenaccio tactics at Inter were often criticised for producing few goals, and for being dull, overly defensive, or even destructive; Herrera and several of Inter's players at the time refuted these claims, however, with Herrera later stating: "The problem is that most of the ones who copied me copied me wrongly. They forgot to include the attacking principles that my Catenaccio included. I had Picchi as a sweeper, yes, but I also had Facchetti, the first full-back to score as many goals as a forward".

Aside from the team's defensive strength and organisation when defending behind the ball, some of the key elements of Herrera's Grande Inter side of the 1960s were the use of vertical football and very quick, efficient counter-attacks, which allowed the team to score with few touches. This was made possible due to Herrera's use of very quick and energetic, attacking full-backs, such as Giacinto Facchetti, and Tarcisio Burgnich, who would often detach themselves from the back-line, and catch their opponents by surprise with their overlapping runs. Furthermore, the team's main creative force, Spanish deep-lying playmaker Luis Suárez, played a fundamental part in Inter's success during this period, due to his outstanding work-rate, technical skills, vision and passing range; these attributes enabled him to aid the team to win back possession, and subsequently launch quick attacks with accurate long balls out to the on-running full-backs, who would often go on either to score or assist the strikers.

After successive European Cups in 1964 and 1965, Helenio Herrera's Catenaccio style of play suffered a massive blow in the 1967 final in Lisbon, when they came up against Scottish champions Celtic of Glasgow, – nicknamed the Lisbon Lions – who consisted of a group of players who were all born within 30 miles of Celtic's home ground, Celtic Park. Celtic won the game 2–1 after coming back from a seventh-minute Mazzola penalty, with many pundits claiming this was a "victory for football" against the defensively-destructive Catenaccio.

Trivia
Helenio Herrera was nicknamed il Mago (the Wizard) and H.H. (from the initials of his name) by Italian sports journalists (who recognised him as one of the finest coaches in Italian football history), due to his success and tactical prowess, and because on occasion he would provocatively announce the results of Sunday's games, and often his prediction turned out to be correct.

Sumida River

The Sumida River (隅田川) is a river that flows through central Tokyo, Japan. It branches from the Arakawa River at Iwabuchi (in Kita-ku) and flows into Tokyo Bay. Its tributaries include the Kanda and Shakujii rivers.

It passes through the Kita, Adachi, Arakawa, Sumida, Taitō, Kōtō and Chūō wards of Tokyo.

What is now known as the "Sumida River" was previously the path of the Ara-kawa. Toward the end of the Meiji era, the Ara-kawa was manually diverted to prevent flooding, as the Imperial Palace in Chiyoda is nearby.

Art
Sumida Gawa pottery was named after the Sumida River and was originally manufactured in the Asakusa district near Tokyo by potter Inoue Ryosai I and his son Inoue Ryosai II. In the late 1890s, Ryosai I developed a style of applied figures on a surface with flowing glaze, based on Chinese glazes called "flambe." Sumida pieces could be teapots, ash trays, or vases, and were made for export to the West. Inoue Ryosai III, grandson of Ryosai I, moved the manufacturing site to Yokohama in 1924,  but the pieces continued to be identified as Sumida ware. The pottery has been subject to various myths, such as being manufactured on the make-believe island of Poo, which was washed away by a typhoon, or being manufactured by Korean prisoners of war. Sandra Andacht wrote in 1987, "Sumida gawa wares have found great popularity with collectors, dealers and investors. The motifs conform to the general Western concepts of what Oriental designs are expected to depict; writhing dragons, Buddhist disciples, mythological and legendary beings and creatures. Thus, these wares are sought after and prices (here in the States) are high, even for pieces in less than perfect condition."

Culture
The Noh play Sumida-gawa, which the British composer Benjamin Britten saw while visiting Japan in 1956, inspired him to compose Curlew River (1964), a dramatic work based on the story.

The kabuki play, Sumida-gawa — Gonichi no Omokage, is perhaps better known by the title Hokaibo, which is the name of the central character. This stage drama was written by Nakawa Shimesuke, and it was first produced in Osaka in 1784. The play continues to be included in kabuki repertoire in Japan; and it is also performed in the West. It was recreated by the Heisei Nakamura-za in the Lincoln Center Festival in New York in the summer of 2007, with Nakamura Kanzaburō XVIII leading the cast.

The Sumida River Fireworks, which are recognized as one of the oldest and most famous firework displays in Japan, are launched from barges across the river between Ryōgoku and Asakusa. During summer, a festival is also held at the same time.

Literature
The poet Matsuo Bashō lived by the Sumida River, alongside the famous banana tree (Japanese: bashō) from which he took his nom de plume. See, for example, the opening lines of "Records of a Weather Exposed Skeleton," published in The Narrow Road to the Deep North and Other Travel Sketches (Penguin Classics, 1967).

The Sumida River appears in a haiku by Issa from 1820:

Bridges
The Sumida runs through Tokyo for 27 kilometers, under 26 bridges spaced at about one bridge per kilometer. Amongst these, the principal ones are:
 * The Ryōgoku-bashi (Ryōgoku Bridge), dating from 1932, replaced a bridge built in 1659. This bridge was immortalized many times by Hiroshige.
 * The Eitai-bashi (Eitai Bridge), dating from 1924, replaces a bridge built in 1696.
 * The Senju Bridge, dating from 1921, replaced an earlier bridge initially constructed in 1594, which was for a long time the only bridge across the river.
 * The Sakura Bridge, dating from 1985, linking Sumida Park and Bokutei-dori Avenue.
 * The Kototoi Bridge, dating from 1928, was reconstructed at the location of the bridge which linked two nearby temples—the Mimeguri-Jinja and the Matsuchiyama-shoden.
 * The Azuma Bridge, dating from 1931, replaced the bridge which was first built in 1774. This bridge is closest to Asakusa Station and the Kaminari-Mon.
 * The Komagata Bridge, dating from 1927, takes its name from the Matsugata temple dedicated to Bato-Kanon.
 * The Umaya Bridge, dating from 1929, replaced a bridge built in 1875.
 * The Kuramae-bashi, built in 1924.
 * The Shin Ohashi (New Bridge), dating from 1976, replaced a bridge built in 1693. This bridge was not far from the Ryōgoku Bridge.
 * The Kiyosu Bridge, built in 1928 after the model of the Deutz Suspension Bridge of Cologne, links Kiyosu with Nihonbashi-Nakasu.
 * The Chuo Bridge was opened in 1994.
 * The Tsukuda Bridge, dating from 1964, was the first bridge built after World War II, crossing the river from Tsukiji to Tsukishima.
 * The Kachidoki Bridge was constructed in 1940 for the commemoration of the victory of the Japanese army at Lushun during the Russo-Japanese War. This bridge is the only drawbridge on the Sumida and has not been raised since 1970.
 * Tsukiji Ohashi is the newest bridge across the Sumida, opening in 2018 right next to the former site of Tsukiji Market.

Bryophyllum

Bryophyllum (from the Greek βρῦον/βρύειν bryon/bryein = sprout, φύλλον phyllon = leaf) is a group of plant species of the family Crassulaceae native to Madagascar. It is a section or subgenus within the genus Kalanchoe, and was formerly placed at the level of genus. This section is notable for vegetatively growing small plantlets on the fringes of the leaves; these eventually drop off and root. These plantlets arise from mitosis of meristematic-type tissue in notches in the leaves.

Nowadays, bryophyllums are naturalized in many parts of the tropics and subtropics, and deliberately cultivated for their attractiveness or for their interesting reproduction as a vegetative reproductive plant.

Taxonomy
Species of Bryophyllum are nested within Kalanchoe on molecular phylogenetic analysis. Therefore, Bryophyllum should be a section of Kalanchoe rather than a separate genus.

The number of species within Bryophyllum varies with definitions of this section. Bryophyllum used to include not only species that produce plantlets on the leaf margin, but also many species that lack this character such as K. manginii and K. porphyrocalyx. However, the broadly defined Bryophyllum is polyphyletic. Bernard Descoings redefined Bryophyllum as 26 species, and molecular phylogenetic analysis shows that his definition is almost monophyletic, except that K. beauverdii (hence as well as its hybrid K. × poincarei and its close relative K. schizophylla ) and K. delagoensis (hence as well as its hybrids K. × houghtonii and K. × richaudii ) should be included and K. pubescens excluded. Therefore, Bryophyllum comprises about 30 species:
 * Kalanchoe beauverdii
 * Kalanchoe bogneri
 * Kalanchoe cymbifolia
 * Kalanchoe daigremontiana
 * Kalanchoe delagoensis
 * Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi
 * Kalanchoe gastonis-bonnieri
 * Kalanchoe × houghtonii: K. daigremontiana × K. delagoensis
 * Kalanchoe humifica
 * Kalanchoe × laetivirens: K. daigremontiana × K. sp. (probably K. laxiflora)
 * Kalanchoe laxiflora
 * Kalanchoe × lokarana: K. laxiflora × K. sp.
 * Kalanchoe macrochlamys
 * Kalanchoe marnieriana
 * Kalanchoe maromokotrensis
 * Kalanchoe mortagei
 * Kalanchoe peltigera
 * Kalanchoe pinnata
 * Kalanchoe × poincarei: K. beauverdii × K. sp.
 * Kalanchoe prolifera
 * Kalanchoe × rechingeri: K. beauverdii × K. sp. (K. delagoensis or K. rosei)
 * Kalanchoe × richaudii: K. delagoensis × K. rosei
 * Kalanchoe rosei
 * Kalanchoe rubella
 * Kalanchoe sanctula
 * Kalanchoe schizophylla
 * Kalanchoe serrata
 * Kalanchoe streptantha
 * Kalanchoe suarezensis
 * Kalanchoe tenuiflora
 * Kalanchoe waldheimii

Toxicity
Several species of Kalanchoe are economically important for causing cardiotoxic effects in sheep and cattle, and diseases affecting the nervous system and muscles known as krimpsiekte ("shrinking disease") or as cotyledonosis. Kalanchoe pinnata may have similar chemical components, bufadienolide alkaloids.

Nicholas Kao Se Tseien

Father Nicholas Kao Se Tseien O.C.S.O. (15 January 1897 – 11 December 2007), was a Chinese Trappist priest living in Hong Kong who had been the oldest living Catholic priest and also the oldest person ever to have had a cataract operation according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Biography
Born in Foochow, Fukien province (now Fuzhou, Fujian province), one of four brothers, Kao studied law at Amoy University (now Xiamen University) and later converted to Catholicism aged 18 while attending a school run by Spanish Dominican friars. He was trained as a teacher and studied law at night, but he ultimately decided to become a priest.

His life spanned parts of three centuries, two Emperors of China, and ten papacies. He stated that in 1912 he voted for Sun Yat Sen as China's president. His clerical life would bring him from China to Taiwan, Malaysia, and finally Hong Kong.

In 1972, he was at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. He lived a cloistered life, but regularly shared advice for a healthy and long life. He gave visitors a list of "Healthy Seven Nos": no smoking; no anger; no alcohol; no overeating; constant exercise; constant prayer; no rudeness. He was devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary throughout his life — he would say the Rosary many times each day, and built six shrines to her in Taiwan, Mainland China, Malaysia and Hong Kong.

He stayed at Our Lady of Joy Abbey at Lantau Island for more than 30 years, where he died peacefully in his sleep on the morning of 11 December 2007, aged 110 years and 330 days. His body was buried in the Monastery's private graveyard.

Morse homology

In mathematics, specifically in the field of differential topology, Morse homology is a homology theory defined for any smooth manifold. It is constructed using the smooth structure and an auxiliary metric on the manifold, but turns out to be topologically invariant, and is in fact isomorphic to singular homology. Morse homology also serves as a model for the various infinite-dimensional generalizations known as Floer homology theories.

Formal definition
Given any (compact) smooth manifold, let f be a Morse function and g a Riemannian metric on the manifold. (These are auxiliary; in the end, the Morse homology depends on neither.) The pair $$(f, g)$$ gives us a gradient vector field. We say that $$(f, g)$$ is Morse–Smale if the stable and unstable manifolds associated to all of the critical points of f intersect each other transversely.

For any such pair $$(f, g)$$, it can be shown that the difference in index between any two critical points is equal to the dimension of the moduli space of gradient flows between those points. Thus there is a one-dimensional moduli space of flows between a critical point of index i and one of index $$i-1$$. Each flow can be reparametrized by a one-dimensional translation in the domain. After modding out by these reparametrizations, the quotient space is zero-dimensional — that is, a collection of oriented points representing unparametrized flow lines.

A chain complex $$C_*(M, (f, g))$$ may then be defined as follows. The set of chains is the Z-module generated by the critical points. The differential d of the complex sends a critical point p of index i to a sum of index-$$(i-1)$$ critical points, with coefficients corresponding to the (signed) number of unparametrized flow lines from p to those index-$$(i-1)$$ critical points. The fact that the number of such flow lines is finite follows from the compactness of the moduli space.

The fact that this defines a chain complex (that is, that $$d^2 = 0$$) follows from an understanding of how the moduli spaces of gradient flows compactify. Namely, in $$d^2(p)$$ the coefficient of an index-$$(i-2)$$ critical point q is the (signed) number of broken flows consisting of an index-1 flow from p to some critical point r of index $$i-1$$ and another index-1 flow from r to q. These broken flows exactly constitute the boundary of the moduli space of index-2 flows: The limit of any sequence of unbroken index-2 flows can be shown to be of this form, and all such broken flows arise as limits of unbroken index-2 flows. Unparametrized index-2 flows come in one-dimensional families, which compactify to compact one-manifolds with boundaries. The fact that the boundary of a compact one-manifold has signed count zero proves that $$d^2(p)=0$$.

Invariance of Morse homology
It can be shown that the homology of this complex is independent of the Morse–Smale pair (f, g) used to define it. A homotopy of pairs (ft, gt) that interpolates between any two given pairs (f0, g0) and (f1, g1) may always be defined. Either through bifurcation analysis or by using a continuation map to define a chain map from $$C_*(M, (f_0, g_0))$$ to $$C_*(M, (f_1, g_1))$$, it can be shown that the two Morse homologies are isomorphic. Analogous arguments using a homotopy of homotopies shows that this isomorphism is canonical.

Another approach to proving the invariance of Morse homology is to relate it directly to singular homology. One can define a map to singular homology by sending a critical point to the singular chain associated to the unstable manifold associated to that point; inversely, a singular chain is sent to the limiting critical points reached by flowing the chain using the gradient vector field. The cleanest way to do this rigorously is to use the theory of currents.

The isomorphism with singular homology can also be proved by demonstrating an isomorphism with cellular homology, by viewing an unstable manifold associated to a critical point of index i as an i-cell, and showing that the boundary maps in the Morse and cellular complexes correspond.

Related constructions
This approach to Morse theory was known in some form to René Thom and Stephen Smale. It is also implicit in John Milnor's book on the h-cobordism theorem.

From the fact that the Morse homology is isomorphic to the singular homology, the Morse inequalities follow by considering the number of generators — that is, critical points — necessary to generate the homology groups of the appropriate ranks (and by considering truncations of the Morse complex, to get the stronger inequalities). The existence of Morse homology "explains", in the sense of categorification, the Morse inequalities.

Edward Witten came up with a related construction in the early 1980s sometimes known as Morse–Witten theory.

Morse homology can be extended to finite-dimensional non-compact or infinite-dimensional manifolds where the index remains finite, the metric is complete and the function satisfies the Palais–Smale compactness condition, such as the energy functional for geodesics on a Riemannian manifold. The generalization to situations in which both index and coindex are infinite, but the relative index of any pair of critical points is finite, is known as Floer homology.

Sergei Novikov generalized this construction to a homology theory associated to a closed one-form on a manifold. Morse homology is a special case for the one-form df. A special case of Novikov's theory is circle-valued Morse theory, which Michael Hutchings and Yi-Jen Lee have connected to Reidemeister torsion and Seiberg–Witten theory.

Morse–Bott homology
Morse homology can be carried out in the Morse–Bott setting, i.e. when instead of isolated nondegenerate critical points, a function has critical manifolds whose tangent space at a point coincides with the kernel of the Hessian at the point. This situation will always occur, if the function considered is invariant w.r.t. a non-discrete Lie group.

To describe the resulting chain complex and its homology, introduce a generic Morse function on each critical submanifold. Chains will consist of paths that begin in a critical manifold at a critical point of the auxiliary Morse function, following a gradient trajectory with respect to some metric, and then leave the submanifold to follow the gradient vector field of the Morse–Bott function until it hits some other critical manifold; it either flows for a while along a gradient trajectory associated to the Morse function on that critical submanifold and then flows to another critical submanifold, etc., or flows to a critical point in the original submanifold and terminates. See (Frauenfelder). This approach to Morse–Bott homology appeared in the context of unpublished work for contact homology by Bourgeois, in which the critical submanifolds are the sets of Reeb orbits, and the gradient flows between the critical submanifolds are pseudoholomorphic curves in the symplectization of a contact manifold asymptotic to Reeb orbits in the relevant critical manifolds of Reeb orbits. If we extend each Morse function to a function on the entire manifold supported near the critical submanifolds, we can explicitly write down a Morse–Smale function that perturbs the original Morse–Bott function. Namely, multiply each of the extended functions by some small positive constant, sum them and add the result to the original Morse–Bott function. The broken flows described above will be C0 close to the flow lines of this Morse–Smale function.

Nonai Station

Nonai Station (野内駅) is a railway station on the Aoimori Railway Line in Nonai neighborhood of the city of Aomori in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, operated by the third-sector railway operator Aoimori Railway Company.

Passenger trains serve the station over 17 and a half hours a day; the departure time between trains is roughly 30 minutes during the morning peak with reduced frequency at other times. The station also serves as a bus station for Aomori City Bus and JR Bus Tōhoku, with local bus routes connecting the station to communities throughout the city of Aomori.

Location
Nonai Station is served by the Aoimori Railway Line, and is 111.2 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Metoki Station. It is 728.5 kilometers from Tokyo.

Station layout
Nonai Station has two opposed side platforms built on an embankment and connected by a pedestrian underpass. The station building is unattended.

History
Nonai Station was opened on 16 July 1893 as a station on the Nippon Railway in the former village of Nonai. It became a station on the Tōhoku Main Line of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR), the pre-war predecessor to the Japanese National Railways (JNR), after the nationalization of the Nippon Railway on 1 November 1906. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the operational control of East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

The section of the Tōhoku Main Line including this station was transferred to Aoimori Railway on 4 December 2010. A new station building 1.5 kilometers southwest of the old one was completed in March 2011. The old station was demolished, but its sidings remain in place.

Services
Nonai Station is primarily served by trains operating on a local service on the Aoimori Railway Line between Aomori and Hachinohe. It is served by one rapid express train, the 560M train operated jointly by the Aoimori Railway and the Iwate Galaxy Railway between Aomori and Morioka. Passenger trains serve the station for just over 17 and a half hours each day from 5:56am to 11:37pm. At peak hours between the first train and 9:39am, trains depart from the station roughly every 30 minutes; otherwise trains depart at an approximate hourly basis. In 2018, a daily average of 1,086 passengers boarded trains at Nonai Station, an increase from the daily average of 578 passengers the station served in 2011, the final year of its operation in the station's original location. In 2018, the station was the sixth busiest on the Aoimori Railway Line, excluding Aomori and Hachinohe stations, and the fourth busiest along the line in the city of Aomori.

A kibbitzer (alternate: kibitzer) is a person who likes to kibbitz.

John Amos Comenius (1592 – 1670):
 * "We are all citizens of one world, we are all of one blood. To hate a man because he was born in another country, because he speaks a different language, or because he takes a different view on this subject or that, is a great folly.  Desist, I implore you, for we are all equally human. … Let us have but one end in view, the welfare of humanity; and let us put aside all selfishness in considerations of language, nationality, or religion."
 * "Much can be learned in play that will afterwards be of use when the circumstances demand it."

E. J. Platt (1882 – 1964):
 * “The mark of the educated man is not in his boast that he has built his mountain of facts and stood on the top of it, but in his admission that there may be other peaks in the same range with men on the top of them, and that, though their views of the landscape may be different from his, they are nonetheless legitimate.”

"'F. Scott Fitzgerald'" (1896 – 1940):
 * “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.”

Not a roo I'm pretty sure skippy wasn't an eastern grey kangaroo. She was far too small for that, so I guess she was some sort of wallaby. But what sort...? Here's a link to the IMDB forum in which someone from Australia suggests Skippy is wallaby... --Bmonne 09:19, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't know about that, it looks like a grey, they are alot smaller than the big red kangaroo fellas. Especially as a female. MadParrot 09:43, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

OK, what was it: a wallaby or an eastern grey? Currently the article is contradicting.
 * Skippy was definitely an Eastern Grey Roo -- just look at her feet and muzzle. Adult females of that species are 4-5' when standing straight up, but clearly they had Sonny standing on a box during closeups when he needed to be taller. --Jquarry 23:57, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I've removed the bit at the end saying she's a wallaby. Although it's not exactly scientifically conclusive, I've done a GIS and skippy in the articles pic looks more like a [Eastern Grey] than a [Wallaby] -- Slothie 13:35, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I recall reading something to the effect that although the skippy character is a female, the actual roo(s?) used in the series was a male with a prosthetic pouch - something to do with female eastern greys not being the desired color - and as a result there was a few male "behavioural" problems that aren't talked about.Johnmc (talk) 07:21, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Firstly. I grew up in Cottage point. Waratah National Park in the 1970's. My father was the ranger and we had a pet Kangaroo. Waratah National park only had a population of perhaps 20 families within its boundary and I was the only child Sonny Hamonds age. I have been aware my whole life that the original idea for this series was more than likely based upon me, true story. I just came here to say that in the summary at the top of the page it says " various visitors to the FICTIONAL Waratah National Park in Duffys Forest, near Sydney, New South Wales". which is inaccurate. It was filmed in Duffy's forest which is located in Terry Hills on a property that runs back into the very real and NON FICTIONAL Waratah National Park.Also, reading here, Skippy was definitely an Eastern Grey and was female for the reasons cited above. There were five of them all up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shilo2010 (talk • contribs) 05:08, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Pet
Skippy was not the family pet. On many episodes (usually in response to some self-righteous animal libber) she was described as a wild animal, free to come and go as she pleased. --Jquarry 00:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Rationale added to image article.

Clicking sounds
It says "The famous clicking sounds made by Skippy are not made by real kangaroos, as is the popular American and British belief." Is there any evidence that any British or American people think this? It doesn't seem very likely to me. Also, the reason for the addition of these sounds (showing Skippy communicating or expressing herself?) should be described. Salopian (talk) 11:07, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Use of elastic band to make sounds - citation required
"...an elastic band around the lower jaw" was added to the article, with the edit comment add band note as per http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8512433.stm but no ref tag in the article. The elastic band doesn't get mentioned in the text of that BBC page. It might be in the video, but I can't view the video (in Australia) to check it. Could someone (perhaps in the UK) check whether the video mentions the elastic band, and if it does, add the BBC web page as a reference to the article. Mitch Ames (talk) 00:19, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Having just watched the BBC video quoted in the link, the interviewees do state that they made use of elastic bands as a last resort to make Skippy's jaw move in tune with the sounds being made, as they state Kangeroos do not make that kind of noise.--Tynesider1963 (talk) 18:50, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Jerry or Sonny?
The character placed by Garry Pankhurst is called sonny in the article, but referred to as Jerry in the show. The Dad calls many people "sonny".--86.160.242.12 (talk) 20:33, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Garry Pankhurst's character is definitely "Sonny", since he's Ed Devereaux's...er, son. Jerry is the helicopter pilot. Wi2g 03:10, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Cleanup/Later History
The later history section needs to be rewritten. It seems to have been copied from a news article (without credit) and is using terms like "yesterday" outside of a quote. 212.69.51.63 (talk) 12:24, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Skippy banned in Sweden.
I've taken out the sentence about Skippy being banned in Sweden. The ref it had does not link to the fact, nor is there any ref I can find that isn't a copy of this article. Sounds more like an urban legend to me.--Dmol (talk) 06:17, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Considering the fact that i WATCHED IT ON TV here in Sweden in the late 80s, on a Swedish TV-channel(channel 3 i think? I know it was before we got cable-tv at home and that i saw it when i slept over at my brothers apartment, who did have early cable-tv, and he didn't have any non-Swedish channels so that's ruled out as well), that's pretty obviously a lie, yes.   DW75 (talk) 20:52, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

American Forces Television
I know that my remebering it is merely anecdotal evidence, but I know that this program(me) was a staple of American Forces Television–Europe in the early 80s. Does anyone have a published reference to this fact? Also, would those psuedo-TV GuideS distributed at the PX really count as a publication if one had them? 2600:1004:B106:67BD:FCB3:F417:994A:54E2 (talk) 22:56, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

requested edit
Skippy the bush Kangaroo was actually created by Lee Robinson, not John Mccallum as stated on your site, in a book McCallum wrote, he stated that Lee Robinson was in fact the creator of the hit TV series and i believe your site should indicate that If you watch “Skippy Australia’s first Superstar” you will clearly see the creator of this series was Film maker Lee Robinson. Lee Robinson and John McCallum were business partners, they both had imput into the series but ultimatly it was Robinson’s baby.

Edits
Hi there, I perceived an error to do with this page and after checking the references at the bottom, noticed that my perception was correct. Lionel (Bob) Austin seems to have been left out despite being present in the key references. I have corrected it. Was this the appropriate way to correct the error? Or does this 'email' by virtue notify some administering body who would then formalise the correction? Again, he was present in all the references but seems to have been left out of the wiki page. This same thing happened for Fauana Productions the company that started and ran Skippy, however that has since been amended. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Honestfella12 (talk • contribs) 02:17, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Looks like some one has flagged this as not conforming to the Wikipedia guidelines? Uncertain as to why, as it is adhering to the very sources that were cited in relation to the creation of this article. If there is a problem please declare on what grounds? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Honestfella12 (talk • contribs) 00:33, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

UK transmission
I think I’d have to query the assertion “Making its UK debut on 8 October 1967 on ATV” - I would say it was on ITV, of which ATV was only a regional franchisee, I would have seen it on Granada, and I also remember being very upset (I’d been looking forward to seeing it) because the first episode was postponed because of the death of former Prime Minister Clement Attlee on that day and they needed to show an obituary (which as a 9-year-old I was completely uninterested in!), and the actual debut was a week later. — Arwel Parry (talk) 20:55, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
 * PS There has been a mysterious reversion/removal of this note, supposedly (but not) by me. Note that the link of supporting evidence for the initial UK transmission date is a website showing an extract from a TV listings magazine, however that would NOT have reflected the TV rescheduling that resulted from the death of former PM Attlee earlier that day. — Arwel Parry (talk) 18:17, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Baltimore club

Baltimore Club, also called B'more Club, B'more House or simply B'more, is a music genre that fuses breakbeat and house. It was created in Baltimore, Maryland in the early to late 1990s by 2 Live Crew's Luther Campbell, Frank Ski, and DJ K-Swift, among others.

Baltimore club is based on an 8/4 beat structure, and includes tempos around 130 beats per minute. It combines repetitive, looped vocal snippets similar to trap, bounce, ghetto house and ghettotech and is a sample-based form of breakbeat. Samples used include theme songs from shows like Sanford and Son, SpongeBob SquarePants and Elmo's World. The instrumental tracks include heavy breakbeats and call and response stanzas similar to those found in the go-go music of neighboring city Washington, D.C. The most prominent breakbeats sampled include "Sing Sing" by disco band "Gaz" and "Think (About It)" by Lyn Collins.

Origins
Early promoters of Baltimore Club included Scottie B and his colleagues at Unruly Records.

UK breakbeat hardcore records were influential to the genre. "The Blapps!" Records label released several British rave classic records between 1989 and 1992 that have often been sampled by Baltimore producers. "Don't Hold Back", "Too Much Energy" and "Let the Freak" were sampled and played heavily by DJs and producers. Other UK breakbeat tracks cited by Baltimore DJs as influential include "On 33" by Stereo MC's, the "State of Mind" EP by Is That It, and "Hoovers & Spray Cans" by Mark One.

The Ensoniq ASR-10 keyboard sampler, released in 1992, was used to produce many tracks in the genre.

2000s
In the mid-2000s, the genre gained crossover popularity in Baltimore's rock underground due to dance nights at venues such as the Talking Head Club. Baltimore club was featured in Spin Magazine in December 2005.

Rod Lee was described as "the original don of Baltimore club" by The Washington Post in 2005.

DJ K-Swift was known as a prominent personality in the genre. In addition to DJing at "Hammerjacks" and The Paradox, she hosted a radio show on WERQ-FM from 1998 until her death in 2008.

2010s
In 2019, James Nasty & Soohan's club track "Pop!" was featured in Season 5, episode 4 of the Comedy Central series Broad City.

2020s
Dark City Beneath the Beat, a documentary featuring Baltimore club music, was released on streaming platforms in August 2020.

In 2023, June 17 was declared Baltimore Club Music Day by mayor Brandon Scott. A ceremony recognizing club music pioneers was held at Baltimore's annual AFRAM celebration.

Offshoots
In the 1990s, Baltimore club music developed a cult following in the North Jersey club scene, particularly in the Jersey club genre of Newark, New Jersey developed by DJ Tameil. This spread stemmed from the distribution of mix tapes by traveling Baltimore DJs. There were also many Boston-area radio shows in the mid-1990s that played Baltimore club music. It also spread south to the Virginia club scene and to Alabama where DJ Seven, formerly known as DJ Taj, developed Bamabounce. It had also started to spread to New York City.

Philadelphia and Jersey club music are both subgenres of Baltimore club music, but each evolved separately. As background noises in Baltimore club music increased in popularity, they spread into Philadelphia, where the genre locally developed into what is called Philly club, otherwise referred to "party music." This style is much faster than Baltimore club music and includes elements of hardstyle such as sirens. In contrast, Baltimore club music spread into New Jersey in an entirely different manner. New Jersey DJs were taking runs to Baltimore to pick up the latest club records and bring them back to New Jersey to play at parties. The sounds began to mutate with what local DJs and producers added on and changed. This style became known as Jersey club, which smoothed out the rugged, raw, and violent edges of Baltimore club music.

Baltimore club dance
Baltimore club dance became very popular with Baltimore's African-American community. Throughout the city, dance crews battled against each other at recreation centers and nightclubs, and music from famous disc jockeys was at its peak. These dance moves, created from Baltimore club music, were usually high-paced and intense due to the fact that Baltimore club music evolved from house music and hip hop, two fast-paced music genres.

One move born out of Baltimore club music is the "crazy legs", a shaking of both legs with simultaneous foot tapping and shoulder shrugging. Another dance move that evolved out of Baltimore club music was the “what what”, involving footwork where one raises up one bent leg over the other, in a fast, hopping-like movement. A video featuring girls wearing face coverings while doing versions of the "crazy legs" and the "what what" to a remix of Miss Tony's "How You Wanna Carry It" entitled "Put Your Mask On" went viral in April 2020.

During its peak, Baltimore club DJs received international recognition and were featured on the records of major artists. International recognition given to Baltimore club music and dance was short-lived. Many attribute the downfall of Baltimore club culture to the radio, as new tracks could be listened to without going to the club. The decrease in popularity of Baltimore club culture can also be attributed to the closing of major Baltimore clubs, such as Paradox and Hammerjacks.

Peter Crimmins

Peter Crimmins (8 July 1948 – 28 September 1976) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the Hawthorn Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL). "Crimmo" was known as a lightly built but courageous and skilful rover whose early passing from cancer is one of Australian football's saddest stories. Hawthorn subsequently named the club Best and Fairest award in his honour.

VFL career
Crimmins was born in 1948, one of five sons to father Bryan, who had also played in the VFL, appearing in one game for. He was educated at Assumption College and quickly gained attention of Victorian football scouts with his skilful and fearless style of play, on one occasion kicking ten goals roving for the school's senior team. Peter chose Hawthorn as his father was a policeman stationed at Hawthorn at the time.

Showing good form in the practice matches, Crimmins was one of five Hawthorn debutantes chosen for the opening game of the 1966 VFL season. In a game best remembered for 's Peter McKenna kicking twelve goals, Crimmins kicked two himself. The newspaper The Age said Crimmins looked a little light but showed great courage.

In the 1971 VFL Grand Final, Crimmins was among the best players afield as the Hawks came from behind to defeat St Kilda by seven points.

At the end of 1973, David Parkin stood down as captain; Peter Crimmins was elected to the position in his place.

Cancer diagnosis
At the completion of the 1974 VFL season, Crimmins was diagnosed with testicular cancer. After surgery and two bouts of chemotherapy in 1975, he attempted to make a return, declaring that he was fit to play in the 1975 VFL Grand Final after playing 5 reserve games, including one final. Both the selection committee and Hawthorn's supporters were divided over whether he should play. Ultimately, the match committee decided against playing him in the game, with coach John Kennedy admitting they were fearful a knock could affect him. As he explained later: "It was very hard, it was a unique situation ... Peter wanted to play. The committee was divided. He didn't play. We'll never know what might have happened if he had played." The Hawks lost the Grand Final to North Melbourne.

Crimmo's Cup
Throughout the next year Crimmins health deteriorated again, but by the end of the season Hawthorn was again facing North Melbourne for the 1976 VFL Grand Final. By this stage Crimmins was confined to his sickbed, unable to even attend the game, and with live television broadcasts of the Grand Final not introduced until 1977, he was reduced to merely listening to it on the radio. Just before the Hawthorn players took the field Kennedy read out a telegram which Crimmins had sent to the club, saying "Good luck to you and all the boys. It will be a long, hard, 100 minutes but I am sure you will be there at the end. Regards, Peter Crimmins." Kennedy implored his players to "Do it for the little fella", and later stated that he believed his team was never going to lose. Hawthorn won the game by thirty points to take the Premiership.

The night of the Grand Final six of Crimmins' closest teammates took the premiership cup to Crimmins' house in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne to let him share in the celebrations. A press photographer accompanied them and a famous photo was published in the newspapers showing a wasted, reclining, yet beaming Crimmins holding the premiership cup surrounded by his jubilant teammates. The premiership victory became known around Hawthorn and in the football community as 'Crimmo's Cup' in recognition of the inspiration Crimmins provided to his team.

Crimmins died just three days after the game, aged 28. He was survived by his wife and two sons. The image of a stricken Crimmins holding the premiership cup and surrounded by teammates is captured in Jamie Cooper's painting The Game That Made Australia, commissioned by the AFL in 2008 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the sport.

The Number 5
Crimmins' number 5 was retired following his death, with the plan to bring the number back in the event one of his sons was able to play for the Hawks. Once it became clear this would not happen, a decision was made by the family to return the jumper to circulation, with the family choosing the player who best exemplified Crimmins to wear the number. In 1993, Andy Collins was awarded the jumper. In 1997, the jumper was awarded to Daniel Harford. In 2004, the jumper was awarded to Sam Mitchell, who would go on to wear the jumper in four premierships, one as captain, and to five Peter Crimmins Medals, the Hawthorn Best and Fairest that was renamed in his honour. Following Mitchell leaving the club in 2016, the jumper was awarded to Ryan Burton, and following his trade to in 2018, James Worpel was awarded the jumper.

Crimmins' jumper was hung in the boardroom at Glenferrie Oval until the club left in 2005. It was then moved to the boardroom at Waverley Park, and it now is situated in the Hawthorn museum.

Community development financial institution

A community development financial institution (US) or community development finance institution (UK) - abbreviated in both cases to CDFI - is a financial institution that provides credit and financial services to underserved markets and populations, primarily in the USA but also in the UK. A CDFI may be a community development bank, a community development credit union (CDCU), a community development loan fund (CDLF), a community development venture capital fund (CDVC), a microenterprise development loan fund, or a community development corporation.

CDFIs are certified by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, which provides funds to CDFIs through a variety of programs. The CDFI Fund and the legal concept of CDFIs were established by the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994. Broadly speaking, a CDFI is defined as a financial institution that: has a primary mission of community development, serves a target market, is a financing entity, provides development services, remains accountable to its community, and is a non-governmental entity.

The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) authorized CDFIs certified by the CDFI Fund to become members of the Federal Home Loan Banks. The Final Rule regarding the procedures and standards to be used by the Federal Home Loan Banks to evaluate applications for membership from CDFIs were published in the Federal Register Federal Housing Finance Agency in January 2010. The Final Rule is to be implemented by the 11 Federal Home Loan Banks, each of which will evaluate membership applications independently.

CDFIs are related to, but not identical with, Community Development Entities (CDEs). CDEs are also certified by the CDFI Fund at the U.S. Department of Treasury but have somewhat different qualifications. Many CDFIs have also been certified as CDEs. The primary purpose of CDEs is to utilize the New Markets Tax Credit Program (NMTCs). NMTCs were created to induce equity investments in low-income communities. Traditionally, because of the NMTCs and the structure of the industry, investments in CDFIs were typically limited to larger financial institutions. Investment access to CDFIs appears to be on the rise, as CNote, a company that lets individuals invest their savings in CDFIs, recently received qualification from the Securities and Exchange Commission to offer their CDFI-based product to non-accredited investors.

CDFIs may be subject to oversight by federal financial institution regulators (e.g., banks, credit unions) or may be "unregulated" at the federal level, and subject only to the laws of the states in which they operate. There is no mandatory rating or ranking system imposed on all CDFIs which would allow investors or others to evaluate their performance, safety, or strength. However, since 2004 approximately 100 CDFI loan funds have received voluntary ratings of their financial strength and social impact performance by Aeris, an independent rating and information service. In 2015, Standard & Poor's issued its first ratings assessments of CDFI loan funds.

Scope
In 2006, there were approximately 1,250 CDFIs, consisting of:
 * More than 500 community development loan funds;
 * More than 350 community development banks;
 * More than 290 community development credit unions;
 * More than 80 community development venture capital funds.

In May 2010, the CDFI Fund had certified 862 CDFIs, 57 Native CDFIs (serving Native Americans), and 4,230 CDEs, each of which may have multiple subsidiary investment funds.

Nationwide, over 1,000 CDFIs serve economically distressed communities by providing credit, capital, and financial services that are often unavailable from mainstream financial institutions. CDFIs have loaned and invested billions of dollars in the most distressed communities in the United States, leveraging capital from the private sector for development activities in low wealth communities across the nation.

While there are numerous organizations certified as CDFIs by the CDFI Fund, it is believed that there are thousands of financial institutions serving the needs of low-income people or communities in the United States, that either have not applied for CDFI status or have otherwise not been able to fulfill all of the requirements for formal CDFI certification.

In fiscal year 2016, CDFI program awardees originated $3.6 billion in loans and investments to finance more than 13,000 businesses and 33,000 affordable housing units.

Notable depository CDFIs
ShoreBank, headquartered in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago, was founded in 1973. By 2007, it had over $2 billion in assets. ShoreBank had branches in Chicago’s South and West sides, Cleveland, and Detroit, but in August 2010 the bank was declared insolvent and its branches were taken over by Urban Partnership Bank. Its holding company ShoreBank Corporation, still exists and promotes its community development mission through affiliates in Oregon and Washington state, and in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. ShoreBank’s international consulting services have offices in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and London, and projects in 30 countries around the world.

OneUnited Bank, headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, is the largest African-American-owned CDFI in the country, with branches in Boston, Miami, Florida, and Los Angeles, California.

The Center for Community Self-Help, another leading CDFI, was founded in 1980 in Durham, North Carolina. Self-Help's home and business lending has provided low-wealth, minority, rural and female borrowers with over $5.24 billion in financing. Much of this is through Self-Help's national secondary market program, which enables conventional lenders to make more home loans to low-wealth families. Self-Help also develops commercial and residential real estate and operates retail credit unions. In response to predatory lenders increasingly targeting family wealth in poor and minority communities, Self-Help in 1999 worked with the NAACP, AARP, and other North Carolina groups to form the Coalition for Responsible Lending and help enact one of the United States' first laws to curb predatory mortgage lending. In 2002, Self-Help founded the Center for Responsible Lending, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research and policy organization that recommends solutions to predatory lending abuses.

Notable non-depository CDFIs

 * Capital Impact Partners
 * Chicago Community Loan Fund
 * Enterprise Community Partners
 * Local Initiatives Support Corporation
 * ShoreBank
 * Southern Bancorp

Other countries
While the CDFI Fund and its certifications are limited to the United States, the UK also has about 70 CDFIs and a trade association, Responsible Finance, formerly known as the Community Development Finance Association (CDFA). The UK government has provided various funding initiatives for CDFIs and credit unions, and Community Investment Tax Relief (somewhat similar to New Markets Tax Credit) is available on investments in accredited CDFIs.

Institutions similar in purpose exist around the world, such as Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and Clann Credo in Ireland, though they are not generally called CDFIs, but are described by other terms such as microfinance institutions or social banks or social investment funds.

Salvador Brau

Salvador Brau y Asencio (January 11, 1842 – November 5, 1912) was a Puerto Rican journalist, poet, dramatist, novelist, historian, and sociologist. He was designated the official historian of Puerto Rico by the first American-appointed governor of the island.

Early years
Brau was born in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, into a well-to-do family. His father was Bartolomé Brau, a Catalan teacher, and his mother was Luisa Asencio, a native of Venezuela. Brau received his primary and secondary education in private schools. Forced to work to care for his family after the death of his father in about 1855, he began to teach himself. By the age of 16, he was composing various literary works and with his friends started a theatrical society. He wished to continue his education in an institute of higher learning and thus went to Spain in 1861 where he attended the University of Barcelona, earning a degree in Letters. During his stay in the mother country, he came into contact with the autonomist movement of Puerto Rico and became involved. Eventually, Brau earned his Doctorate in Letters.

Important discoveries
In 1870, Brau returned to Puerto Rico and became a journalist. He joined the Autonomist Party of Puerto Rico and became politically active, believing that Puerto Rico should be granted more powers by the Spanish Crown. He expressed his beliefs in his novels and plays, including one of his most acclaimed plays, "La Vuelta al Hogar" (Once on This Island).

In 1894, Brau was named Commissioner for the Provincial Deputation. He then moved back to Spain where he investigated the historical documents pertaining to Puerto Rico's past. These documents were stored and continue to be stored in the Indias Archives of Seville. In 1897, after three years of investigating the historical documents, Brau returned to Puerto Rico.

His findings in Seville included documents written by Fray Antonio de Montesinos, Fray Íñigo Abad y Lasierra and others. He uncovered important information about how the Taínos lived and how they were treated harshly by the Spanish settlers. During his investigation he found an interesting reference to the Puerto Rican danza. According to a document written by Fray Íñigo Abad y Lasierra, Bishop of Puerto Rico (1772–1778), there was a typical, fast and noisy shoe-stomping dance in the island which he called "Puerto Rican danza". Brau, however, claims that the authentic Puerto Rican danza was a popular creation that emerged in the 19th century.

Official Historian of Puerto Rico
In 1898, Puerto Rico became a colonial possession of the United States after the Spanish–American War in accordance with the Treaty of Paris. Brau continued to be politically active and in 1903 was named Official Historian of Puerto Rico by the American-appointed governor William Henry Hunt. He held this position until his death on November 5, 1912, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He was interred in Santa María Magdalena de Pazzis Cemetery in Old San Juan.

Written works
A partial list of Brau's written works:
 * 1892 - Puerto Rico y su historia [Puerto Rico and its history] (Puerto Rico: Tip. de Arturo Cordova)
 * 1904 - Historia de Puerto Rico [History of Puerto Rico] (New York: D. Appleton & Co.)
 * 1907 - La Colonizacion de Puerto Rico [The Colonization of Puerto Rico] (San Juan: Tip. del “Heraldo Español”)
 * 1909 - La fundación de Ponce: estudio retrospectivo que comprende desde los asomos de vecindad europea en las riberas del Portugués, al terminar el siglo XVI, hasta el incendio casi total del pueblo de Ponce en febrero de 1820. (Ponce: Tipografia "La Democracia")
 * ¿Pecadora? (a novel)

Legacy
The town of San Juan honored him with a park and a statue. The town of Cabo Rojo has honored his memory with a monument and by naming a hall in its amphitheater after him. The town of Aguada has a bust of Brau in its plaza. Brau was one of the few Puerto Ricans to be honored by the United States Maritime Commission when during World War II the Liberty ship SS Salvador Brau was built in Panama City, Florida, and named in his honor.
