Rewa district

Rewa district is a district of the Madhya Pradesh state in central India. The city of Rewa is the district headquarter. Rewa is sometimes called the "Land of White Tigers", as the first White Tiger was discovered here in 1951 by the Maharaja of the province, Martand Singh, in the nearby jungle of Govindgarh. Rewa was the capital city of a former state, Vindhya Pradesh.

Geography
Rewa lies between 24° 18' and 25° 12' north latitudes and 81° 2' and 82° 18’. The district is bounded on the north by Uttar Pradesh, on the east and southeast by Sidhi, on the south by Shahdol, and on the west by Satna. Rewa district is part of Rewa Division and has an area of 6,240 km2.

The Huzur, Sirmour and Mauganj tehsils lie between the Kaimur Range in the south, and the Binjh pahar in the north, and form what is known as the Rewa plateau or uprihar. To the north lies the Teonther tehsil which is quite different in its physical and other features from the plateau tehsils. The Rewa plateau decreases in height from south to north. In the south, the Kaimur Range rises to more than 450 meters above sea level, whereas the alluvial plain of Teonthor is just 100 meters above sea level. In the eastern side of Rewa some small cities and towns are there like Manikwar, Mauganj, Mangawan, Hanumana.

The district has a varied terrain that includes alluvial plains, hills, ravines, scarp, rivers, and water-falls. The rain-water of the district flows out along two tributary rivers of the Ganges, the Tons or Tamas and the Son. The Bichiya River flows through the heart of Rewa city.

The Tamsa or Tons and its tributaries form waterfalls as they descend from the Rewa Plateau, including: the Chachai Falls (127m) on the Bihar River, a tributary of the Tamsa, the Keoti Falls (98m) on the Mahana River, a tributary of the Tamsa, the Odda Falls (145m) on the Odda River, a tributary of the Belah River, which is itself a tributary of the Tamsa, Bahuti fall on Chataniha river beside Misirgawan village, and the Purwa Falls (70m) on the Tamsa or Tons.

Demographics
According to the 2011 census, Rewa District has a population of 2,365,106, roughly equal to the nation of Latvia or the US state of New Mexico. This gives it a ranking of 191st in India (out of a total of 640). The district has a population density of 374 PD/sqkm. Its population growth rate over the decade 2001–2011 was 19.79%. Rewa has a sex ratio of 930 females for every 1000 males, and a literacy rate of 73.42%. 16.73% of the population lives in urban areas. Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes make up 16.22% and 13.19% of the population respectively.

Hinduism is majority religion in Rewa district with 95.93% followers. Islam is second most popular religion of Rewa with approximately 3.61% following it. Christianity is followed by 0.08%, Jainism by 0.03%, Sikhism by 0.04% and Buddhism by 0.04%. Around 0.01% stated 'Other Religion', approximately 0.26% stated 'No Particular Religion'.

Historical Places
It is the main tourist attractions in Rewa.Behind it there are two rivers which provide the scenic beauty to the fort. The main gate of the fort is a good example of Indian architecture.It also provides accommodations to tourists. It have also houses a restaurant and a museum. The main sites to visit here are the canon, royal silver throne, museum hall’s chandelier, arms gallery and the white tiger gallery. Govindgarh, the summer capital of Mahraja Rewa, is about 18 km from Rewa in Madhya Pradesh, India. The Rewa, with an area of about 13,000 m2, was the largest princely state in the Bagelkhand Agency and the second largest in Central India Agency. The British political agent for Bagelkhand resided at Satna, on the East Indian railway. The Bagelkhand Agency was dissolved in 1933 and Rewa was placed under the authority of the Indore Residency. This archaeological site has a great history to tell with the ancient Buddhist stupas that you will find here. Discovered in the year 1982, these stupas are said to be about two thousand years old and belonging to the Ashoka’s reign. You will find three large stupas carved out of clay bricks and several small stupas out of 46 different stones.
 * Rewa Fort
 * Govindgarh Palace and Lake
 * Stupa

Deur Kothar also has five thousand years old rocky caves which are definitely very intriguing in their appearance. As an attempt to spread Buddhism in the Vindhyan region during the period of Ashoka, the remains of Lord Buddha were distributed to create these stupas. Deur Kothar is an archaeological site among the prestigious Rewa tourist places where followers of Buddhism have build stupas after this site was found.

Natural Wonders
The Falls are 200 feet high (nearly 67 m) and present one heck of a robust view. The falls are intense and an enormous volume of water falls every second. The Falls are on River Toans, descending the cliff of Rewa Plateau. However, the Falls gain or lose their majesty with season and are best to visit when the rains are in full swing. For a pleasant time with family and friends in Rewa, visit the Keoti Waterfall. It is the 24th highest waterfalls in India and is a really popular tourist destination .The view from the falls during sunset and sunrise is something one shouldn't miss during the trip. A great way to have some intimate time with loved ones. Keoti Waterfall is a place in Rewa that will blend you with the locals as it is usually crowded with people be it tourists or the localities. Bahuti is the highest waterfall in Madhya Pradesh. It is on the river Sellar as it rushes down the edge of the Valley of Mauganj to join the Bihad River, which is a tributary of Tamsa or Tons River. It is near Chachai Falls. It has a height of 198 metres (650 ft). Chachai falls are more than 130 meters in height and are situated on River Bihad, near Rewa, Madhya Pradesh. These falls are the second highest waterfalls in Madhya Pradesh and is one of the highest single-drop waterfalls in India. It was once praised by former Indian Prime Minister Sh. Jawahar Lal Nehru for its breathtaking charisma and beauty. However, that time is long gone as a river diversion has been constructed on this river, which splits all of the water of Bihad river in two halves, one for generation of Electricity at Toans Hydroelectric Power Plant and another half for irrigation in nearby villages, leaves absolutely no water for the waterfalls. The course of the river has been changed and since then, the waterfalls are dry, which flood once during the rainy season when excess water is discharged from the dam.
 * Purwa Falls
 * Keoti Falls
 * Bahuti Falls
 * Chachai Falls

The first of the white tigers to be captured was a cub, approximately two years old, who was captured by Maharajah Martand Singh of Rewa. The tiger lived in captivity at the Maharajah's summer palace for five years and, on its death, was stuffed and sent as a gift to King George V as a sign of India's loyalty to the crown. To this day, white tigers are still kept at the Maharajah's summer palace which is located at Govindgarh.
 * White Tiger Safari & Zoo

There is a White Tiger Safari in Mukundpur which first opened on April 3, 2016.

 * Rani Talab

Solar Power Plant

TESTING PAGE FOR EDITING REVISIONS TO BELOW.

In typesetting, justification is the setting of text or images within a column or "measure" to align along both the left and right margin. Text that is set into equal length lines and aligned along both the left and right margins is said to be "justified." In justified text the spaces between words, and to a lesser extent between glyphs or letters, are stretched or sometimes compressed in order to make the text align on both the left and right sides. When using justification it is customary to treat the last line of a paragraph separately by simply left or right aligning it, depending on the language direction. A line in which the spaces have been stretched beyond their normal width are called loose lines, while those whose spaces have been compressed are called tight lines. "Justification" and "Alignment" are not synonyms. The mistaken impression that they are is due to an error made in the menu structure of the popular word processing program Microsoft Word that places Left, Right, Full and Centered as choices beneath the menu item "Justification." Typographers, typesetters and graphic designers know this to be incorrect. "Justification" refers only to a setting of type aligned on both the left and right margins. Therefore the compounds "left/right/center/full-justified" are all incorrect or redundant. Correctly speaking there are four possible [typograhic alignment]s, or "settings": Centered Flush Left (more verbosely "Flush Left, Ragged Right") Flush Right (more verbosely "Flush Right, Ragged Left") Justified Justification can sometimes lead to typographical anomalies. When the spaces between words line up approximately above one another on several loose lines, a distracting visual pattern called a river may appear. Another problem especially prevalent when using justification in narrow columns, such as in many newspapers, is when an exceptionally large space appears between two words (called a loose line). These may often be solved through the use of hyphenation or by rewriting the text to use smaller words. Justification has been the preferred setting of type in many western languages through the history of the written word. It's use has only waned somewhat since the middle of the 20th century through the advocacy of the graphic designer Jan Tschichold's book Asymmetric Typography and the more free treatment of typography of the Bauhaus, Dada, and Russian Constructivist movements.

Shahdol district

Shahdol District is a district of Madhya Pradesh state in east central India. It old name was Matsya raj or Virat kingdom in the name of great king Maharaja Virata. With a total area of 6,205 km2 and a population of 10,66,063. Shahdol is an important district of Madhya Pradesh. The town of Shahdol is the district headquarters. The district formerly comprised Shahdol division.

The Virateshwara Temple in Sohagpur Vangana is the most important tourist destination of Shahdol and a structural masterpiece. The district extends 110 km from east to west and 170 km from north to south.

History
Shahdol was once known as Sohagpur (Shahdol), and has a history dating back to the Gupta period. The district was ruled by the Chedis and Kalachuris, before being taken by the Gonds. The town Sohagpur (Shahdol) was established by the Baghel king Sohag Deo. The fort of Bhandavgarh in modern-day Umaria district passed as dowry from the Kalachuris to the Baghels of Rewa, and they gradually conquered the surrounding territory from the Gonds. Later a small portion of the district was taken by a minor branch of the Baghels descended from Jamuni Bhan Singh, a younger brother of the king, who were not subsidiary to Rewa. Eventually the Bhonsles of Nagpur took over the territory, and after the Second Anglo-Maratha War it was ceded to the British. After the Maharaja of Rewa supported the Britishers during the 1857 rebellion, the district was returned to him in gratitude. Shahdol was at this time sparsely settled, and the Baghels invited many cultivators into the district from other parts. It remained an estate of Rewa state under the until Independence, when it became a separate district.

Geography
Shahdol District is situated in the north-eastern part of the Madhya Pradesh province of India. Because of the division of the district on 15-08-2003, the area of the district remains 5671 km2. It is surrounded by Anuppur in the southeast, Satna & Rewa in the north, Sidhi in the northeast, Umaria in the west and Koriya district of Chhattisgarh in the west. The district extends 110 km from east to west and 170 km from north to south. This district is situated between 22°38' N latitude to 24°20' N latitude and 80°28' E Longitude to 82°12' E longitude.

Topography
The District is located in the north-eastern part of the Deccan Plateau. It lies at the trijunction of Maikal Ranges of the Satpura Range, the foot of the Kaimore Range an extension of the Vindhya Range and a mass of parallel hills which extend over the Chhota Nagpur plateau in Jharkhand. In between these hill ranges lies the narrow valley of the Son and its tributaries. Since the Kaimore Range extends along the Son just across the northern boundary, the District may be divided into three physiographic divisions. They are :-

District Shahdol is predominantly hilly district. It is picturesque with certain pockets and belt of SAL and mixed forests. Total geographical area of the district is 5671 km2. Adjacents to the District Shahdol are the boarding districts Satna, Sidhi, Umaria, Anuppur and Rewa.
 * The Maikal Range
 * The Hills of Eastern Plateau
 * The Upper Son Valley

Mineral resources
District Shahdol is very rich in its mineral resources. Minerals found in district are coal, fire clay, ochers and marble. Sohagpur Coalfield contributes a major part in the revenue of the state. A brief description of the various occurrences is given below :

The important coal field in the District is Sohagpur coal field. The Barakars in this area are about 3100 km2 Four coal seams have been recorded from the lower Barakars whereas a few thin seams are reported from Upper Barakars. The Lower Barakar coal of lower ash content and better quality as compared to that from Upper Barakars. In general the coal is of low rank, high moisture, high volatiles and non-coking type. A reserve of 4064 million tonnes has been estimated from this field.

Good black clay deposits occur near Jamuni and Hinota.

Ochers deposit in the Shahdol district is reported from pachdi.

Marble deposits are found near villages Pasgarhi, Bagdari and Paparedi. Details of the deposit to be under search in these areas.

District Shahdol is only uranium producer in state

The current source of gas is Coal Bed Methane (CBM) blocks in Sohagpur East (SP-E) and Sohagpur West (SP-W) located in Shahdol. RIL has been awarded by the Government of India the Coal Bed Methane (CBM) blocks, located in the districts of Shahdol and Annupur in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The plateau production of CBM from these blocks is expected to be about 3.5 mmscmd. Total reserves estimated at 3.75 trillion cubic feet of in-place gas reserves under coal seams in Sohagpur coal bed methane (CBM) blocks

Economy
In 2006 the Ministry of Panchayati Raj named Shahdol one of the country's 250 most backward districts (out of a total of 640). It is one of the 24 districts in Madhya Pradesh currently receiving funds from the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme (BRGF).

Agriculture
District is very backward in the field of agriculture. Tribals of the district prefer the cultivation in the old traditional method. The size of the fields are very small and mainly the tribals are marginal farmers. The yearly yield of the products from the fields are not enough for their home use. Hence, for the rest part of the year they work on daily wages. Mahua fruit, wood & seeds are source of income for tribe area people.

Demographics
According to the 2011 census Shahdol District has a population of 1,066,063, roughly equal to the nation of Cyprus or the US state of Rhode Island. This gives it a ranking of 427th in India (out of a total of 640). The district has a population density of 172 PD/sqkm. Its population growth rate over the decade 2001-2011 was 17.27%.

Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes make up 8.42% and 44.65% of the population respectively.

The Tribals have a simple lifestyle. Their houses are made of mud, bamboo sticks, paddy, straw and local tiles. Tribal men wear Dhoti, Bandi, Fatohi and headgear. Women wear Saree named "Kaansh" saree in the local dialect. The saree is usually of skin colour. Women love to wear colourful clothes and ornaments. They wear traditional jewelry made of bamboo, seeds and metals. Nowadays people have also taken a liking for Western wear. Almost half of the tribals are Gonds, 22% Kols, 20% are Baiga.

Gap theorem

 * See also Gap theorem (disambiguation) for other gap theorems in mathematics.

In computational complexity theory, the Gap Theorem, also known as the Borodin–Trakhtenbrot Gap Theorem, is a major theorem about the complexity of computable functions.

It essentially states that there are arbitrarily large computable gaps in the hierarchy of complexity classes. For any computable function that represents an increase in computational resources, one can find a resource bound such that the set of functions computable within the expanded resource bound is the same as the set computable within the original bound.

The theorem was proved independently by Boris Trakhtenbrot and Allan Borodin. Although Trakhtenbrot's derivation preceded Borodin's by several years, it was not known nor recognized in the West until after Borodin's work was published.

Gap theorem
The general form of the theorem is as follows.
 * Suppose $Φ$ is an abstract (Blum) complexity measure. For any total computable function $g$ for which $$g(x) \geq x$$ for every $x$, there is a total computable function $t$ such that with respect to $Φ$, the complexity classes with boundary functions $t$ and $$g \circ t$$ are identical.

The theorem can be proved by using the Blum axioms without any reference to a concrete computational model, so it applies to time, space, or any other reasonable complexity measure.

For the special case of time complexity, this can be stated more simply as:
 * for any total computable function $$g : \, \omega \,\to\, \omega$$ such that $$g(x) \geq x$$ for all $x$, there exists a time bound $$T(n)$$ such that $$\mathsf{DTIME}(g(T(n))) = \mathsf{DTIME}(T(n))$$.

Because the bound $T(n)$ may be very large (and often will be nonconstructible) the Gap Theorem does not imply anything interesting for complexity classes such as P or NP, and it does not contradict the time hierarchy theorem or space hierarchy theorem.

Antrustion

An antrustion (antrustio, plural antrustiones) was a member of the bodyguard or military household of the Merovingian kings of the Franks. The bodyguard itself is called the trustis (truste), a Frankish word with a Latin ending, possibly signifying comfort, aid, fidelity, trust (compare Old High German trost). An alternative etymology relates it to proto-Germanic *druhtiz, warband, whence old high German truht and perhaps Slavonic druzhina.

Information about the antrustions is derived from one of the formulae of Marculfus and from various provisions of the Salic law. Anyone desiring to enter the antrustions had to present himself armed at the royal palace, and there, with his hands in those of the king, take a special oath or trustis and fidelitas, in addition to the oath of fidelity sworn by every subject at the king's accession. This done, he was considered to be in truste dominica and bound to the provide the services this involved. In return for these, the antrustion enjoyed certain advantages, entitled to royal assistance and protection; his wergeld was three times that of an ordinary Frank; the slayer of a Frank was paid compensation of 200 solidi, that of an antrustion had to find 600. The antrustion was always of Frankish descent, and only in certain exceptional cases were Gallo-Romans admitted into the group. These Gallo-Romans then took the name of convivae regis, and the wergeld of 300 solidi was three times that of a homo romanus. The antrustions, belonging as they did to one body, had strictly defined responsibilities towards one another; e.g., one antrustion was forbidden to bear witness against another under penalty of 15 solidi compensation.

The antrustions seem to have played an important part at the time of Clovis. Apparently they formed the army that conquered the land, an army composed chiefly of Franks, with a few Gallo-Romans who had taken the side of Clovis. After the conquest, the role of the antrustions became less important. For each expedition, the king raised an army of citizens in which the Gallo-Romans mingled more and more with the Franks; they only kept one small permanent body which acted as their bodyguard (trustis dominica). Some members were assigned other tasks, such as that of forming garrisons in frontier towns. The institution seems to have disappeared during the anarchy with which the 8th century opened.

It has wrongly been held to be the origin of vassalage. Only the king had antrustions; while every lord could have vassals. The antrustions were a military institution; vassalage was a social institution with complicated origins.

Albert College (Dublin)

Albert College was an agricultural college in the northern suburbs of Dublin, Ireland. Today its former main building, known as the Albert College Building, built 1851, is the oldest building on the Glasnevin campus of Dublin City University and contains the offices of the university president, and other executive offices of the university. The Albert College Building also houses the 1838 Club, a restaurant for staff and postgraduate research students. The adjoining Albert College Extension, with laboratories for the school of engineering, was opened in 1985.

Glasnevin Model Farm / Glasnevin Institute
In 1838, John Pitt Kennedy, the first inspector-general of the nascent Irish National School system, acquired land for the Crown for the specific purpose of building a central model farm and training establishment for National School teachers. The teachers were to be taught how to give instruction to children not only in reading, writing, and arithmetic but also in practical and innovative methods of agriculture. Albert College started life in 1838 as Glasnevin Model Farm, sometimes The Glasnevin Institute. It was originally based in Cuilin House.

It was renamed the Albert National Agricultural Training Institution in 1853 after a visit by Prince Albert. The foundation of the college was an important event in the history of agricultural education in Ireland, which trained primary school teachers to the standards required by the Board of National Education in Ireland for the teaching of agriculture, additionally, it also trained those whose aim was to pursue a career in agriculture. The board established twenty model agricultural schools and provided many national schools with small holdings or gardens. Because of religious opposition and laissez-faire economic policies, the board was forced to discontinue support for the schools holdings in 1863 and in 1874 disposed of most of the model farms. Albert College survived, probably because it was not exclusively concerned with the board's educational policies — it also carried out research work in new crop varieties, farming methods and breeding livestock.

In 1902 the name Albert Agricultural College was adopted. In 1905 the West Wing was added with residential accommodation, and the East Wing in 1927.

In the early 20th century Paul A. Murphy, Professor of plant pathology, made a significant scientific breakthrough in the study of phytophthera infestans, the fungus which causes potato blight. In the definitive work on the Irish Famine - The Great Hunger - the author Cecil Woodham-Smith states that since Ireland suffered so much from the blight it was "by a stroke of poetic justice that it was in Ireland that much of the final research was carried out... at the Albert College in Glasnevin, Dublin".

University College Dublin
In 1926 the Faculty of General Agriculture of University College Dublin (UCD) moved onto the site as a result of the University Education (Agriculture and Dairy Science) Act, 1926, and the establishment became part of UCD.

In 1964 University College, Dublin, approved the sale of 359 acre of the Albert College lands to Dublin Corporation, 212 acre of these were on a separate northern site which is now central Ballymun — the Albert College Park lands were also transferred to Dublin Corporation at this time and continue to be used as a public park. The sale occurred because the imminent transfer of the Faculty of Agriculture to Belfield became apparent, also a housing crisis occurred in Dublin during the 1960s as a number of old, dilapidated buildings collapsed in the city and land for housing near the city became urgently required.

University College, Dublin, finally vacated the site in 1979.

NIHE and DCU
The fledgling NIHE, Dublin moved on site in 1979, vacating its inner city offices. In 1989 the NIHE became Dublin City University, and continued its capital development plan on the 50 acre former Albert College lands that it owns.

The original college building now contains the first floor offices of the university president, which look towards the official residence of the president, a lodge at the edge of the grounds. Also in the building are the offices of other senior officials of the university, and those of the institution's fund-raising body, the DCU Educational Trust, and the 1838 Club, a restaurant for staff and postgraduate research students. The adjoining Albert College Extension, with laboratories for the school of engineering, was opened in 1985.

Harald Schmid

Harald Schmid (born 29 September 1957) is a retired German track and field athlete who competed in the sprints and hurdles. He was one of the best 400 metres hurdles runners in the world during his career.

Career
Schmid won bronze with the West German 4 × 400 m relay team at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal as well as an individual bronze in the 400 m hurdles at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984.

In addition, he won silver at the 1983 World Championships in the 400 m hurdles and the 4 × 400 m relay and a further bronze in 400 m hurdles at the 1987 World Championships. At the latter, he finished only 0.02 s behind the gold medalist Edwin Moses; Schmid's duels with Moses during the late 1970s and early 1980s were famous and Schmid was the last person to beat Moses before his streak of 122 consecutive victories. Moses said of him: "I would wake up at the morning, and in California we’re about nine hours behind Germany. I’d say to myself, ‘Harald has probably finished his workout by now, I need to get busy!’ Guys like him were my motivation."

Schmid also won gold at the European Championships 5 times (3 individual and 2 team medals) and one silver with the team.

His personal best in the 400 m hurdles was 47.48 s (achieved twice: in 1982 and at the World Championships in 1987), which at one point was the European record and the second fastest time ever.

In 2016, he was inducted into Germany's Sports Hall of Fame.

Personal life
Schmid has a PhD in Sports Science and was appointed to the IAAF athletes commission in 1999. He participates actively in anti-drug campaigns and encourages children's sport activities.

Talk:Roots music

unsigned and undated comment (pre 1 January 2013)
I do not agree with the redirect to Folk Music. IMHO Roots is pop-music that stays close to its roots: folk, blues etc. Closer then hit-parade pop-music that is more influenced by the current fashion. This means mainly tradional chord-schemes and rithms, acoustic instruments or electric with little emphasis on advanced effects or synthisisers.

Willem

Deleting redirects
I can't understand the sense of deleting the redirect but not doing anything with the page, as though there is suddenly no such thing as roots music. As for the connection with World Music, it's well understood within Roots music circles. See, for example, the British publication fRoots magazine. Gwaka Lumpa 19:02, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi Gwaka. I deleted the redirect because I thought it completely nonsensical, as roots music and world music are not related (unless I'm very much mistaken). I'm not planning on just leaving the page blank, but better a blank page waiting for somone to populate it then a completely misleading redirect.  But I see you have reverted, and I won't get into a war.  I'll come and write up a proper stub for Roots Music when I have a chance, and we can see what you think about it.  Thanks. Leeborkman 21:14, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually, that old redirect to Folk Music was rather more accurate, but still not great. I see if I can come up with something pithy ;-) Leeborkman 21:20, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I'd say that the description you have that says "Roots music is any music that follows pre-commercial musical traditions." is a pretty good description of World music. The World music article seems to have been revised by someone who believes that eg. Celtic music is not world music, which is stupid, since the term World music was invented by a group of people which includes those who were using it to sell Anglo-Celtic pre-commercial music.  What's missing is a page on "American roots music", which is what most of this article is about.  I'd suggest:
 * Move (most of) the content here to American roots music, integrate that with Roots revival and possibly American folk music revival
 * Make this a disambiguation page that points to Roots revival, American roots music, and World music. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TimNelson (talk • contribs) 11:59, 4 May 2007 (UTC).
 * -- TimNelson 11:59, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Major changes to World, Folk, Roots, and Traditional music pages
Hi all. I think the pages for World music, Roots music, Folk music, and Traditional music need some changes. I've documented the ideas at WikiProject World music/Definitions; if you could all respond on the talk page, that would be great!

-- TimNelson 04:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Brought back as disambiguation page
While editing the Root dab page, I found several entries that did not include the word "root" in their name, such as "American folk music". My guess was that they might be there because they're genres sometimes referred to as "roots music," although that was not called out anywhere on the page. So I decided to see if there was already a roots music entry -- and was surprised to find it was a redirect to "Root".

My feeling is that this is not optimal in either direction:
 * Someone coming to the "Root" page directly will not understand why "American folk music" is there, especially since "American folk music" is not a valid interpretation of the bare word "Root"
 * Someone typing in "roots music" will be somewhat surprised to come to the "Root" page -- even if we focus the redirect to the Music section -- as there is no indication which of these entries are associated with the phrase "roots music"

Or to put another way: "Roots music" does not ever mean just "root" that I can think of, so redirecting it there does not make sense.

The better solution is to not have roots music be a redirect. Since there are several pages that the term might refer to, one solution is to re-establish it as as a disambiguation page, which is what I've done. Hoping this is acceptable, NapoliRoma (talk) 02:29, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Hanuman Temple, Connaught Place

Hanuman Temple in Connaught Place, New Delhi, India, is an ancient Hindu temple and is claimed to be one of the five temples of Mahabharata days in Delhi. The other four temples are the Kalkaji, a Kali temple in South Delhi containing Swayambu (Sanskrit: "self manifest") rock Idol, the Yogmaya Temple near Qutub Minar, the Bhairav temple near the Purana Qila and the Nili Chatri Mahadev (Shiva temple) at  Nigambodh Ghat outside the walls of Old Delhi.

The temple, which has a self manifest idol of Hanuman, has an unusual feature fixed in the spire (Shikhara) in the form of a crescent moon instead of the Hindu symbol of Aum or Sun that is commonly seen in most Hindu temples. This became particularly important during the Mughal period corroborating this extraordinary depiction.

The idol in the temple, devotionally worshipped as "Sri Hanuman Ji Maharaj" (Great Lord Hanuman), is that of Bala Hanuman namely, Hanuman as a child.

History
Historically, Delhi located on the banks of the Yamuna River has been stated to be the Indraprastha city built by Pandavas of the Mahabharata epic period. Pandavas ruled from Indraprastha and Kauravas from Hastinapur (two collateral families) as per a brokered partition of the Kuru empire. But in a dice game, Pandavas lost their Kingdom and were exiled for a 12-year term and in the 13th year must remain in hiding (with a rider that if they were detected during this period they would undergo the exile denovo). Mythological legend states that during the Pandavas' exile (imposed by their cousin Duryodhana of the Kaurava dynasty), in order to subdue Bhima’s (second of the five Pandava brothers) arrogance, Hanuman considered to be the brother of Bhima (both Vayu's children, appeared in the forest disguised as a weak and aged monkey. Bhima, while in search of a fragrant flower sought by Draupadi in the forest, found Hanuman lying with his tail blocking his way and, unaware of Hanuman's identity, scornfully asked him to remove his tail. But Hanuman told Bhima to lift the tail since being old he was unable to do it on his own. Bhima tried hard several times but failed to lift it, in spite of being a man of great strength. Bhima then realized that the monkey was none other than his own brother, apologizes for his arrogant behavior and requests Hanuman to show him his true form. Hanuman was then said to have enlarged himself and showed Bhima the size in which he had crossed the sea to go to Lanka, looking for Maa Sita Ji during the Ramayana epic period. After the Pandavas won the Kurukshetra war against the Kauravas and re– established themselves in Indraprastha, the Pandava clan is stated to have built five temples of Hanuman and other deities.

It is believed that Tulsidas (1532–1623), who wrote Ramacharitamanas (popularly known as Tulsi Ramayan and penned the famous Hanuman Chalisa hymns in praise of Hanuman, visited this temple in Delhi. During his visit to Delhi, Tulsidas was summoned by the Mughal Emperor and asked to perform a miracle, which he did with the blessings of Lord Hanuman. The Emperor was pleased with Tulsidas and presented the Hanuman temple with an Islamic crescent Moon finial which adorns the temple spire. It is also claimed that because of the crescent moon symbol on the spire, the temple was not destroyed by the Muslim rulers who invaded India at various times.

Reportedly, it was built originally by Maharaja Man Singh I of Amber (1540–1614) during Emperor Akbar’s (1542-1605) reign. It was reconstructed by Maharaja Jai Singh (1688-1743) in 1724, around the same time as the Jantar Mantar. After that the temple has undergone many improvements making it a notable religious centre in the heart of Central Delhi.

Temple features

Entry to the temple is through the Baba Kharak Singh Marg (Road). The approach is through a set of marble steps from the road level leading into the main foyer of the temple through massive silver-plated doors, which are engraved with scenes of the epic Ramayana story. The foyer is ventilated with clerestory windows that are adorned with paintings of Hanuman in the cardinal directions depicting his four aspects. Below each Hanuman painting, the full text of Tulsidas's Sundar Kand is inscribed on the marble tablets affixed on the walls. The Sanctum Sanctorum, which houses the Hanuman idol, is on the north wall on the right side of the entry foyer (pictured), with the idol facing the southern direction in a small bas-relief carving (pictured). Images of Radha and Krishna, a central triumvirate of Rama, Lakshmana and Sita are also installed to the right of the Hanuman idol on the same wall.

As the idol of Hanuman faces the southern direction, devotees can discern only one eye of the idol. The idol depicts a Gada (mace or club) in the left hand with the right hand crossed across the chest showing veneration to the adjacent idol of lord Rama, Lakshmana and Sita. A tapering crown adorns the idol, which has a sacred thread on the right shoulder and is clad in a fashioned dhoti. The height of the temple is reported to be 108 ft. The ceiling of the main mandap (hall or pavilion) depicts the epic story of Ramayana artistically painted. In recent years, the New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) has enhanced the religious character of the temple precincts by incorporating within the main complex a shrine to Shiva, Parvati and their children, of the same size as the adjoining main sanctum, another enclosure housing idols of Durga, Lakshmi Narayan and Ganesha and on the south in an annex the idol of goddess Santoshi Mata (the wish fulfilling goddess). The last named deity has created a cult culture among women with Friday worship that was propagated by the religious feature film Jai Santoshi Ma, since 1975.

Visitor information
The temple is situated on the Baba Kharak Singh Road (old Irwin Road) about 250 m southwest of Connaught place in Central Delhi, which is the commercial hub of Delhi. Tuesday and Saturday are special days of worship when devotees congregate at the temple in large numbers. Hanuman Jayanti (birthday celebrations of lord Hanuman) is held every year with great fanfare on the full moon (Purnima) day in the month of Chaitra (March – April) as per established lunar Hindu Panchangam or Hindu calendar. Colourful processions with festoons and with devotees wearing Hanuman masks and tails and carrying large idols of Hanuman fill the streets. Commercial establishments within the temple complex sell religious offerings and bangles made of lac and plastic. It is also a popular place for women for Mehndi (temporary henna tattoos).

This temple is well connected by road as well as Delhi Metro. Shivaji stadium is the nearest bus stand and also has Airport Express Metro Line nearby and Rajeev Chowk is the nearest metro station.

José Santamaría

José Emilio Santamaría Iglesias (born 31 July 1929) is a retired football central defender and manager. He spent his 18-year career with Nacional and Real Madrid, winning 12 titles with the latter club including four European Cups.

Born in Uruguay, Santamaría represented both the Uruguay and Spain national teams. He later embarked on a managerial career, which included a two-year spell with Spain.

Club career
Born in Montevideo to Spanish parents, Santamaría played for local Club Nacional de Football in his country, winning five national championships during his spell. In 1957 the 28-year-old moved abroad, signing with Real Madrid where he remained until the end of his career.

Santamaría totalled 34 appearances between La Liga and the European Cup in his first season at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, winning both tournaments. He went on to add a further ten major trophies to his collection, being first-choice for the vast majority of his stint.

Having earned the nickname 'The Wall' for his consistent defensive displays, Santamaría retired at the end of the 1965–66 campaign aged 36, featuring twice in that year's European Cup en route to another triumph (against Feyenoord and at Kilmarnock). He played 337 competitive matches for Real Madrid.

Santamaría was appointed at Barcelona's RCD Español in the summer of 1971, for his first club coaching experience. He led the Catalans to two top-four finishes in a six-year tenure, including a third place in the 1972–73 season just three points behind champions Atlético Madrid, being dismissed on 21 December 1977 following a 4–0 away loss against Racing de Santander.

International career
Santamaría was first called up to play for Uruguay in the 1950 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, being selected to fill an inside forward slot in the squad but seeing the request denied by his club on the grounds that he was a defender. Four years later, however, he was an integral part of the team at the World Cup in Switzerland, helping them to a final fourth position and earning a total of 20 caps.

Santamaría began representing Spain in 1958, his debut coming on 15 October against Northern Ireland (6–2 friendly win in Madrid). He appeared with his adopted nation at the 1962 World Cup, playing against Czechoslovakia (1–0 loss) and Mexico (1–0 victory) in an eventual group-stage exit.

After working with the youth sides and spending two years with the under-21s, Santamaría was appointed full manager for the 1982 World Cup, due to be played on home soil. He was relieved of his duties at the end of the competition as Spain were unable to progress from the second group phase, and quit football altogether to pursue other interests.

Notable alumni
Should this section include only those who attended the Lower and Upper schools, or those who left after Lower school (such as Jennifer Ellison, if indeed she was at the Lower school, needs a citation)? – ukexpat (talk) 16:15, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't think so necessarily, it is considered to be a great achievement to get into the school full stop. There are lots of people who only attend lower school and still go on to have notable careers in dance, theatre and television. Ellison is a good example, because even though she is better known as a television actress, her recent casting in the musical Chicago is directly linked to her having trained professionally as a dancer.

Talk:Asset

Assets
People consider things like children and women also men to be assets but the things that are supposed to be assets are the most important things In a person's life. People consider businesses as their babies and people as assets and so I ask what is the real use of assets if we're going to be considered as assets Sinqobele (talk) 15:59, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

The main criteria when recognizing tangible assets is that they are registered at their cost or value and then amortized/depreciated trought their usefull life. While intangible assets have different criteria, being the most important the difference between internally developed and externally acquired. Internally developed intangible assets can't be measured at their cost or even at associated costs like development, advertising costs or similar. The only exception could be R&D, in the development phase if they follow some specific rules they can be recognized. While externally acquired intangible assets like brands, can be registered at cost and amortized.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.126.249.1 (talk) 16:41, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Deer Park, Delhi

Deer Park also known as Aditya Nath Jha Deer Park, is a natural park in Delhi located in the subdivision of Hauz Khas in South Delhi. It was named after famous social worker Aditya Nath Jha. This place is popular for walking, jogging and weekend outings. Deer Park comprises many subsections such as Duck Park, Picnic Spots Rabbit Enclosures etc. The park is accessible from Safdarjung Enclave and Green Park, Hauz Khas Village. It is also connected to District Park thus making it approachable from R K Puram near the courts side of the Delhi Lawn Tennis Association.

Location
The Deer Park along with the connected District Park (that houses the Hauz Khas lake) and adjacent Rose Garden (accessible from IIT Delhi and Safdarjung Development Area) make up one of the largest green areas in New Delhi and are collectively called "the lungs of Delhi" because they provide fresh air in the otherwise polluted hustling bustling mega metropolitan Delhi. A simmering water body makes it more attractive and is the perfect haunt of nature lovers. The park is easy to arrive at from Hauz khas Village, Safdarjang Enclave and Delhi Lawn Tennis Associations Courts.

Biodiversity Park
The Park has four different wings i.e. Rose Garden, Deer Park, Fountain & District Park, Old Monuments and Hauz Khas Art Market. One can enjoy the entire area, once inside the park one cannot believe to be in the heart of Delhi. Besides the above the Park has a beautiful restaurant "Park Baluchi" the right place to enjoy a day trip.

It is called Deer Park because it actually houses a large number of deer inside the park. There is a large enclosure in the park for deer to roam around, play with each other, have an occasional friendly fight and provide a learning and entertaining experience to the visitors especially the children. Entry to the Deer Park and the surrounding green park is free and it is open everyday from 5:00 AM to 8:00 PM during summer till October and 5:30 AM to 7:00 PM during winter.

Governance
The park is maintained by the Delhi Development Authority, a government planning authority.

Structures
Munda Gumbad is a rubble pavilion north west to the Hauz Khas lake. It is said to be once located at the center of the lake. The structure was built by Alauddin Khilji of the Khilji dynasty in 1295 AD.

The structure at the moment is built on a raised platform. It is square in shape, with arches on all four sides, allowing passage inside the inner chamber.

Sideshow alley

A sideshow alley is an Australian term for the cluster of attractions that may accompany public events such as agricultural shows. It is similar to the American term 'midway'. Australian sideshows typically comprise a variety of amusement rides, games, and concession booths, run by a community of independent operators known as 'showies'.

History
The origins of the Australian sideshow alley can be traced back to the ancient fair culture of Britain. By the 1880s, they were a regular part of agricultural shows in Australia.

Sideshows in Australia have changed considerably in the last 40 years. The 1970s saw the removal of freak shows, strip shows and other non-family entertainments. This was accompanied by an influx of expensive thrill rides and novelties imported from the United States and Europe.

Higher expenses and running costs and inflated public liability premiums are among the recent challenges facing the 500-plus families that make up today's sideshow alley and travelling amusement industry in Australia.

No, migrants from other cities within the country itself not foreign born in general is impossible to track. Miami, T.O., L.A., Vancouver. I'd then guess: N.Y., London, Sydney. The data for U.S. cities is somewhat skewed given that the foreign born overwhelmingly comes from Mexico for cities in the south. I think this is important for two reasons: first a large foreign born pop means internationalized influences in cuisine, art etc. and second it creates enormous name recognition given six-degrees of seperation ("hey my wife's brother's wife's cousin lives there!"). Living abroad I've noticed, for instance, more people have heard of Vancouver than Montreal. The former is smaller but it has more foreign which I take to be the reason.

 * This is really going to be a hard one to find appropriate summative and comparative sources for. Oh and please provide your sources under the headers as I did for metro population. Marskell 13:18, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I have found appropriate information. :-) Unfortunately, only upto 9th place :-/... --Nixer 14:07, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

To be done/suggestions

 * 1) Do you agree to drop one of the metro use lists and replace it with airports? Here is the list of busiest in order : Atlanta, Chicago, L.A., London, Dallas, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Paris, San Francisco.
 * Heh. There are four international airports in Moscow (Sheremetievo, Domodedovo, Ostafievo, Vnukovo) and an internal airlines airport (Bykovo). How do you plan to do with it?--Nixer 18:10, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Ya, same problem with New York. Maybe I can track down totals for cities. Marskell 18:13, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 1) I am adding foreign born from this source . I can dig a little deeper and probably locate the United Nations report itself if you like.

 * Do you wat to say Moscow became more global when the USSR collapsed? :-) When many of migrants from Soviet republics became foriners ;-)--Nixer 18:30, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 1) I actually think we should drop the first column. Again, taking the core jurisdiction really doesn't do justice to the topic. L.A. has just under four million people—it's greater area 17 million. When people talk about larger cities they are inevitably discussing metropolitan areas. Marskell 17:41, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, and relisting the GaWC stuff in the fourth column would be totally redundant. If and when I track down stock exchanges or GDP we can put it in their. Marskell 17:44, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Do you wat to say Moscow became more global when the USSR collapsed? :-) When many of migrants from Soviet republics became foriners ;-)--Nixer 18:30, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Well now, there's actually some truth to that in the sense of remittances leaving and so on. Miami, of course, will cease to be number one when the U.S. annexes Cuba and incoporates it into the union... Anyhow, if the U.N. thinks its important it has a place here (more, to be honest, than billionaires does).
 * What is the source for passenger rides? I note a wiki-page on the topic but it's unsourced itself. While they may not have underground metros, I can't imagine certain Indian cities not being on the list.
 * Regarding airports, I can't find anything that tabulates for cities with more than one. Newark and JFK together would place New York at 65 mil arrivals, departures and transfers; ; if La Guardia were added I expect NY would be number one. As for Moscow, if Sheremetyevo International Airport and Domodedovo International Airport are the two largest and process only 12 million and 13 million respectively, I can't imagine that together the airports would crack the top ten.

Metropolitan area
I saw throug the your source and it seems extremly outdated.

For example, for Moscow population it indicates estimated (!) data for 2000 of 8300000 while present day data is over 10400000 ! So the difference is 3,5 million! --Nixer 19:16, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

By the way. In Moscow there are some 10,407,000 citizens. In Moscow Region there are living 6,618,538 people outside the city itself, which in sum constitutes 17,025,538 while the page List_of_metropolitan_areas_by_population describes the entire population of the Moscow metropolitan area as 14,440,000 :-\--Nixer 19:27, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I stated above: "You can find various sources for this. If someone has a better one, post it here and we can discuss." Change if you have a better source. Marskell 19:34, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

So can I write 17025538 insted?--Nixer 19:37, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * No, of course not. The Moscow region is 47,000 km²! It's not synonomous with the city. Marskell 20:19, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

A number of sources
This is a place where it could be found links to some useful data --Nixer 19:48, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

How about to replace the GaWC rating with this info?--Nixer 15:32, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Works for me. Do you agree that we don't need to metro stats? Which one should go?

 * Why????--Nixer 16:02, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Because it's overdoing it with two and the airport data is more relevant. Airport travel reveals international tourist levels and business activity. Riding the metro doesn't. "It's not Global City Transportation" M

 * I'm tempted to simply use the airport data as is. Marskell 15:53, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * No, it will not work--Nixer 16:02, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Why???? ;) X city has world's largest airport. What's wrong with that? Makes perfect sense to me. I don't mind tabulating for cities with more than one. The only cities it will matter for are London and New York anyhow.

 * I was also thinking we need at least one or two cultural categories. Most widely visited museums and/or film festivals might be track-down-able (the last is a bit of Toronto boosterism as its ranks first ;).
