Talk:Exterior Gateway Protocol

Split
I intend to split this page soon. I feel that there should be a page for Exterior Gateway Protocols (with references to EGP and BGP), and a separate one for EGP, a.k.a. the Exterior Gateway Protocol. I may not get around to this for a week or so, so in the meantime, any comments are appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kstarsinic (talk • contribs)

 * I feel the same way, but the user has not been active for a while. The split is now on my to-do list but I will not promise a date. --Pgallert (talk) 17:53, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment moved from WikiProject Computing/Computer networking task force --Kvng (talk) 14:44, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Exterior Gateway Protocol: needs to define both uses of the term up front --Nethgirb 20:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Shouldn't this be handled as a disambiguation page? Arugia (talk) 04:50, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

 * We have two artcles Exterior Gateway Protocol and Exterior Gateway Protocol for two different topics. Disambiguation is currently handled through hatnotes on each page. This is perfectly adequate when there are only two topics associated with a title. I don't think it is necessary to create Exterior Gateway Protocol (disambiguation) or somesuch. ~KvnG 05:25, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

still a relevant protocol
I don't think that claiming "EGP is a now obsolete routing protocol" is entirely accurate, as EGP is still in use. Can this statement about its obsolescence be backed up? If not it should be amended.

Question to above: WHERE is EGP used today? Have you ever seen it in the wild? EGP is Obsolete, period.
 * EGP is no longer a relevant protocol. EGP is no longer in use as a mean of information exchange between Autonomous Systems. It may be still in use inside some AS for legacy equipments or between some stub AS and their upstream AS as a private arrangement, but this is irrelevant to the operation of the Internet. RFC 904 is now in status HISTORIC, which makes it obsolete AND deprecated, that is wholly abandoned for normal operations rather than simply obsoleted and improved upon by later RFCs. See RFC status for details on what HISTORIC means in the context of RFCs. Arugia (talk) 04:40, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

 * I think this can be settled by noting that it is not widely in use -- obsolete, even -- but is by no means banished from the internet. Indeed, care should be taken to not make it sound like its 'obsolete' status is a value judgement; whether or not we think it's a great protocol is less important than its actual, real-world status on the internet. Also, historic RFCs refer to recommendations from the IETF, and do not describe the internet as it is. TLDR the piece should distinguish between its actual real-world use and whether or not the IETF treats it as a current recommendation. Bearblasting (talk) 05:37, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

 * If you can find documented cases of current EGP usage (especially explaining why it's still in use), you are more than welcome to add them to the article. Actually, it would be a great example of an obsolete technology carrying on well past its sell-by date.Arugia (talk) 03:59, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Removed a tutorial link
In some clean-up of the article today, I removed the reference to EGP Overview by The TCP/IP Guide because the target page did not really include any more information than was in the Wikipedia article. - Dyork (talk) 14:25, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Need sources for replacement of EGP by BGP
It would be great to have some reliable sources that indicate that EGP was replaced by BGP. This is commonly known by people I have interacted with, but it's hard to find sources from that time that document that BGP replaced EGP. - Dyork (talk) 01:41, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:European Parliament constituency

Earlier constituencies in the UK
I seem to remember earlier and rather different Euro constituencies in the UK. The existing constituencies date from 1999? Laurel Bush 15:58, 7 October 2005 (UTC).
 * Euro elections in the UK were first-past-the-post in single-member districts until some point in the late nineties, yeah, so there were a great many constituencies that vanished when they went to list-PR by region. -The Tom 20:12, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Some work done
I researched the French population figures, added the figures up for the five states with constituencies, and generally tried to give a hand. ナイトスタリオン ✉ 12:31, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Map
Is someone able to make a map fo the EU showing sub-constituencies? So we have an exact map of all styles of constituencies to base election results on. I can usualy mess with maps but when it comes to drawing new borders I'm useless. -  J Logan t/c: 14:31, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Euriopean Union Constituency
There is an error for the UK Map. That is the English Map, Please add Wales, Scotland and Nothern Ireland on that page.

Many thanks

Alex —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

 * Only England is divided into constituencies. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are each a single constituency. ... Seabhcan 10:40, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Ireland names
Are the Irish constituencies really called "East" etc, with no country name? Arising from discussion about dab links for Euroconstituency names at Talk:Northern_Ireland, I was surprised to find East (European Parliament constituency), which isn't mentioned at East (disambiguation). PamD (talk) 07:43, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh (insert name of deity of choice here), a question about the names of the constituencies. Well, at least you didn't ask about the names of the Polish constituencies (they don't have official names as of the time of writing, just numbers, so they end up being called either by the names of the matching voivodships or the city where the constituency office is located, and then there's the question of transliterating the Polish name into English, which is a whole new world of grief). Luckily, you asked an easy one, and the answer is "Yes, their official names are "East", "South", etc., without the Ireland qualifier". Or at least that's what the European Parliament Election 2004 website entry for Ireland electoral law says. If you can find an official source that says otherwise, please, please feel free to move them. And while you're at it, you could try and track down the electoral system Greece uses for EU elections (the EU factsheets and the Greek government website contradict each other), or write something explaining how Luxembourg has to get special procedures installed for each election because >20% of its residents are non-Luxembourg nationals, or work out whether Sweden/Finland (I forget which) was divided into 4 constituencies or not at the time of its first European election (again, contradictory sources). Still, at least you didn't ask about the German constituencies (whew). Regards, Anameofmyveryown (talk) 02:45, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Germany?
"In Germany political parties are entitled to present lists of candidates either at Länder or national level."

What does this mean in practice, exactly, since the country is one constituency? --Jfruh (talk) 22:06, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Parties that submitted at a federal level in 2004 included SPD, Greens, PDS and FDP. Parties that submitted at at the level of the 16 Länder in 2004 were the CDU and CSU.
 * Parties that submit at a federal level (SPD, Greens, PDS, FDP) must register the list with the federal returning officer no later than 68 days before the elections. Parties that submit at the level of the 16 Länder must register the lists with the returning officer(s) at Länder level no later than 66 days before the elections.
 * Parties that submit at a federal level with less than five representatives in the German Bundestag or a Parliament of a Land must submit 4000 signatures alongside their official registration. Parties that submit at the level of the 16 Länder with less than five representatives in the German Bundestag or a Parliament of a Land must submit 2000 signatures alongside their official registration.
 * There are probably other differences as well, but I don't know.
 * Regards, Anameofmyveryown (talk) 03:16, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thinking about it further, I may be missing a trick here. CDU and CDU operate as an alliance at the federal level, but are two different parties with two different geographical bases: CSU operate in Bavaria, CDU cover the rest of Germany. It may be that Germany operates as one single constituency but the "can stand at either federal or Lander level" may be just a procedural device to allow CDU/CSU to maintain their geographical separation and still stand for the EP. Will investigate further when time permits. Regards, Anameofmyveryown (talk) 00:16, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Numeric discrepencies
Poland is missing a figure for population per seat on its own table, whilst the individual table for the UK has a different average to the overall table.

Also are seats allocated by population or electorate? Timrollpickering (talk) 12:37, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay, Tim. I don't know how the seats are allocated to the constituencies, but I do know that under the Polish system the number of seats per subconstituency isn't decided until after the election: the more votes cast in a subconstituency, the more seats allocated to that subconstituency. I guess (but do not know) that seat allocation works on the same basis as the rest of the election: certain broad criteria are laid down by the EU, but how they are implemented is up to the member states. So there may not be a simple answer to your question. I will investigate further if time permits. You may be best advised to hunt thru the sources and find out for yourself: some places to start would be EP fact sheet and EP2004 UK electoral law. Note that they can be contradictory: the EP fact sheet says that Finland is subdivided into subconstituencies, but EP2004 Finland electoral law says it isn't. Good luck. Regards, Anameofmyveryown (talk) 00:11, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Finland is not subdivided on those (or any, for that matter) constituencies for the EU Parliament elections, indeed.

London MEP numbers
This is now 8 not 9 as in the United Kingdom table. As in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_(European_Parliament_constituency) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martin Dixon (talk • contribs) 19:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Outdated facts
Most of the pages' content date back to the 2004 elections. Since then, the number of MEPs has changed for most countries. Only a few sections of the page are up to date (such as Ireland, and now, France).

It might be particularly confusing for a visitor to notice a difference in MEPs for a given country from this country's table to the global table at the bottom of the page.

I think that the least that should be done is to mention in the section titles when statistics date back to the 2004 elections. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nemesis973 (talk • contribs) 19:57, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I've slapped an update tag on it as I can't do it now, but I don't think it is a priority. The change is minor and when ti is 2004 data it says so.- J.Logan`t : 16:28, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

 * The data is again outdated. I have added an outdated-tag again, but with two links; so that interested readers can update it. C-Kobold (talk) 21:06, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Italian so-called constituencies
Italian "constituencies" are not true constituencies, since the number of MEPs for each of them is not fixed, but changes on the basis of the turn-out (higher turn-out means more MEPs). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.7.27.180 (talk) 19:10, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Approximatly proportional?
Last sentence before the table: "The quantity of MEPs representing each country, anyway, is approximately proportional to the population of that member state within the European Union." This seems wrong. According to the table Malta has a seat per 70k population while Spain has one seat perr 866k population.

Cheers.— InternetArchiveBot  (Report bug) 11:31, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Delete GDP column
I don't understand what the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has to do with the European Parliament elections - nothing. It is also very outdated (8 years). Could we please delete this column? Thank you. C-Kobold (talk) 21:05, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Doesn't Area have even less to do with European Parliament elections? But the main focus of the article is about European Parliament Constituency and not about the elections themselves. Population / Area / GDP are ways to describe constituencies. I think that could be included. --Alternative Transport (talk) 08:45, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Pokémon Heroes

The Movie
It's actually Pokémon Heroes: the Movie. 67.188.172.165 19:09, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Casting for Latios and Latias
How are we sure that Megumi Hayashibara voiced Latias and Masashi Ebara voiced Latios in the English Version?

The "Kiss"
You do know, you can't leave out the large probability that it was Latias in disguise who kissed Ash in the end, not Bianca.

I did add that into trivia, but someone deleted it.

--Mooshykris 02:56, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

generation
I noticed that this is classified as a Johto movie - why? Lati@s are from Hoenn... O_o

Answer
Because Pokemon Heroes takes place during the Johto Arc of the series. Also, as far as I know, Alto Mare is located in Johto.

Box office ratings.
Can you guys try and see what the exact measurement in the Japanese Box office is? From the way the amount is recorded, that makes the Box office revinue at least twice as high as the Shaymin Movie (which is approximately nine million Dollars by translating Yen into dollars.). Weedle McHairybug (talk) 03:47, 24 November 2009 (UTC) Look, guys, I'm not kidding when I am asking this: The books don't add up. How can Giratina and the Sky Warrior be considered second-best if, going by the translation between American Dollars and Yen, it actually raked in even less than Movie 5, which is considered a flop in Japan? I mean, according to the figures you guys posted, the box office income for the Japanese release was $20,121,538, and the way it was recorded indicated American dollar translation from Japanese Yen, yet the Shaymin Movie seemed more like $9,463,400 (US currency translation of the yen amount, which is ¥1,018,770,000), which is actually even lower than Movie 5, yet it's labelled a hit. Can you guys PLEASE explain this? I really get annoyed when a legitimate, edit-related question is completely ignored. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 00:42, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Tara Jayne was Bianca
Ahem. I noticed someone changed my edit about Bianca's englsh VA. That's because whoever did it was wrong. Bianca was not voiced by Lisa Ortiz. She was voiced by Tara Jayne, but I bet no one ever credited her for it. Pt018 (talk) 03:35, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, even if Bianca is voiced by Tara Sands, we have to cite a reliable source confirming the claim. Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 06:19, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

The thing with most of these movies, at the end credits when they say "starring:" the never put down who is who, so people probably guessed Lisa was Bianca. But I'm the only one who knows the difference. And another thing, Mike Sinterniklass was in this movie. Check the credits after you watched the movie. Pt018 (talk) 12:10, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

It's not like today where you can post one thing online and somebody will know it exists, but it wasn't like that more people where watching TV to know a movie's coming out. So what i'm saying is, The distribution company didn't put much of an effort advertising this movie.

Peacefield

Peacefield, also called Peace field or Old House, is a historic home formerly owned by the Adams family of Quincy, Massachusetts. It was the home of United States Founding Father and U.S. president John Adams and First Lady Abigail Adams, and of U.S. president John Quincy Adams and his First Lady, Louisa Adams. It is now part of the Adams National Historical Park.

The Stone Library requested by John Quincy Adams is directly next door. It was built by John Quincy's son Charles, a Peacefield resident, after the deaths of the two presidents.

History
Peacefield was the home and farm of John Adams and his wife, Abigail Smith Adams. Later, it was also the home of John Quincy Adams, his wife Louisa Catherine Adams, their son Charles Francis Adams, and Charles' sons, historians Henry Adams and Brooks Adams.

Vassall era
The oldest portion of the house was built in 1731 as a summer house for Leonard Vassall (1678-1737), wealthy owner of slave-labor sugar plantations in Luana, New Savannah, and Green River, Jamaica. The two-and-a-half story frame house had a gambrel roof and separate kitchens with quarters for enslaved servants. Vassall's will names two of those enslaved on the property: Pompey and his wife Fidelia.

By Vassall's death in 1737, the estate in what was then Braintree included 60 acres of orchards, meadows, woodland, and farmland. The property passed to his second wife, Phebe Penhallow, who left it to their daughter, Anna Vassall Borland. A Loyalist, Borland leased the property during the Revolution. She reclaimed title in 1783 and sold it to her son, Leonard Vassall Borland (1759-1801). In 1787, he sold the estate for £600 to Boston agents acting for John Adams, then in England as the U.S. Minister to the United Kingdom.

The Adamses returned in 1788 to occupy the house, farmland, and orchards. They were disagreeably surprised by the house, however, after their years in England. To Abigail Adams, it resembled a 'wren's nest' with all the comfort of a 'barracks.'" They would call it "Old House."

Adams family
During the subsequent 12 years, with Adams resident in Philadelphia first as vice president and then as president, Abigail Adams attended to the house and farm. She greatly expanded it, adding what is now the right side of the front facade, with a fine hallway and large parlor on the ground floor and a large study above. The additions were built in the Georgian style with a gambrel roof creating a nearly full attic story. Adams returned to the house full-time in 1801 after his defeat for a second presidential term. His son John Quincy Adams also returned to the house at that time, after completing his ambassadorial term in Berlin. Further extensions to the house were made by his son, Charles Francis Adams.

National Park Service
Brooks Adams, Charles Francis' youngest son, was the last member of the family to live at Peacefield. Upon his death in 1927, the house became a museum run by the Adams Memorial Society, until it was incorporated into the National Park Service in 1946.

The park later acquired nearby sites including the John Adams Birthplace and John Quincy Adams Birthplace, which together with the visitor center constitute Adams National Historical Park. United First Parish Church, where both presidents and their wives are buried, is nearby but not part of the park.

The family and the home are intertwined with the political and intellectual history of the birth of the American nation. Two older and smaller houses are located on the property, as well as the 1870 Gothic Revival Stone Library, which houses 14,000 volumes owned by John Quincy Adams. The property contains a historic orchard of heirloom apples, and formal 18th-century flower gardens.

Furnishings
The house contains a variety of valuable furnishings and artifacts which belonged to the four generations of the family that lived there. Former park superintendent Wilhelmina Harris compiled a furnishings report, an inventory of all the artifacts in the house. Notable furnishings include John Adams' law desk and John and Abigail Adams' bed.

Library
The stone library is a separate structure on the Peacefield grounds. The library was built in 1870 by Charles Francis Adams following the wishes of his father John Quincy, who had wanted to protect his books from "accidental conflagration." The library contains a large variety of books belonging to various members of the family, the largest portion belonging to John Quincy Adams. Notable books in the library include the Mendi Bible, a gift to John Quincy Adams after the Amistad case, and an early edition of the Book of Mormon given to Charles Francis Adams by Joseph Smith himself.

The library is built out of Quincy Granite. The city of Quincy is historically known for granite quarries.

In November 1996, a robber broke into the library and stole several valuable artifacts including the Mendi Bible, two other bibles, and a text on fish. The artifacts were later discovered in a gym locker in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Grounds
The property was originally a large farmland, much of which was sold by later generations who were no longer interested in farming. The Park now maintains a decorative garden which is largely restored to its appearance in the 1880s in Charles Francis Adams's era. The park grounds include the historic apple orchard behind the house, a greenhouse, and a carriage house that was used to house horses and carriages and contained an apartment for the coachman or other male servants.

um, this is a good article-User:Carsoncocars

look at the copperhead page. It would be nice if articles on snakes all followed that format. Much easier to read.

 * Personally having articles divided into distinct sections with headings makes them much easier to read (and WP:Guide to writing better articles agrees). Unfortunately for coral snakes, the big list of species makes it kind of ugly. Maybe the list should be last and the extra text below it be moved up for readability? -Dawson 16:40, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I say move the taxonomy list to a different list and link it. 75.1.248.19 17:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Coral Snake Page Vandalised
Hi, This page has been vandalised. Can someone please correct it. Thanks and regards, David
 * It seems inexplicable to me but this page seems to be vandalised frequently. Is there some way an admin can protect this page? It looks to me like the vandilism comes from a different IP address each time. I am a different David from the one above.David Eagan 17:08, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Folk Rhyme
Can anyone confirm that this is incorrect: "and can even have red bands touching yellow bands,"...it should either be stated "and can even have red bands touching BLACK bands," or as is without the 'even,' since the coloration described here does not contrast with the preceeding paragraph. --Elgringo18 00:16, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I've never heard of the example folk rhyme, and it's an incredibly bad way to remember, since it only talks about "red and yellow" or "red and black" and doesn't correlate them. A better rhyme is "Red touches yellow, kill a fellow; red touches black, save for Jack." The problem is that few people can quite remember the correct order of the rhyme ("Is it red touches yellow, you're a good fellow, or is it you're a dead fellow?") -- 12.116.162.162 (talk) 22:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)remember the rhyme and carefully examining the order of the bands on the snake while you have a Coral Snake heading your way?

North American focus
I've added to the article. The article briefly mentions that a dozen old world coral snakes exist, and then never mentions them again except in the taxonomy. GavinZac (talk) 06:32, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Very little old world info
This article is badly biased toward new world coral snakes. More old world info really needs to be added. Pb8bije6a7b6a3w (talk) 15:20, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Range implies us-only
The range given for the coral snake lists US states only, as if it only exists in the US. I came to this page after reading about them in Central America so I suspect this is wrong and very misleading. - R — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.174.136 (talk) 17:46, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add the rhyme back into the article. It is misinformation and while it is an urban legend, it is not pertinent in the article.

Vickery, Atkins & Torrey

Vickery, Atkins & Torrey was an interior design firm and art gallery in San Francisco, California, that helped introduce California to Impressionism. It opened in 1888 on Grant Avenue at Morton Street (now called Maiden Lane), where it was destroyed in the 1906 fire, and after a few years reopened at 550 Sutter Street, where it stayed in business until 1933.

History

William Kingston Vickery founded an interior design firm and art gallery in San Francisco in 1888 with his nephew Henry Atkins. In about 1891 they were joined by Frederick C. Torrey (1864–1935), a specialist in prints and Chinese porcelains. In 1900 the company became Vickery, Atkins & Torrey. During the 1890s William Vickery supervised a series of loan exhibitions that helped introduce Impressionism to California in the form of paintings by Monet, Eugène Boudin, Paul Cézanne, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Edgar Degas. These pictures were lent by Californian impressionist Lucy Bacon, who studied in France under Camille Pissarro and met Paul Cézanne, and Mrs. William H. Crocker, the leading California patron of French Impressionist art at the time.

In its gallery, the company exhibited European, American and Japanese prints, Pictorialist photography, paintings and sculpture. Some of the prominent California artists who had one-person exhibitions there were Anne Bremer, Maynard Dixon, William Keith, Xavier Martinez, Francis McComas, Arthur Putnam, and Mary Curtis Richardson.

Vickery, Atkins & Torrey designed interiors for mansions, clubs and universities. The firm sold furniture, decorative objects and jewelry, including many works designed by Henry Atkins. The firm also published art books.

Locations
Vickery, Atkins & Torrey moved to several locations within San Francisco during its existence:
 * 22 Montgomery Street
 * 126 Kearny Street
 * 631 Market Street
 * 108 Grant Street
 * 236 Post Street (where it was located at the time of the 1906 earthquake)
 * 1774 California Street (temporary location after the 1906 earthquake)
 * 550 Sutter Street, San Francisco

Kiev Psalter of 1397

The Kiev Psalter of 1397, or Spiridon Psalter, is one of the most famous East Slavic illuminated manuscripts, containing over three hundred miniatures. It was written in 1397 by the scribe, Archdeacon Spiridon in Kiev, "at the command of Bishop Mikhail"; however, both scribe and patron had recently arrived from Moscow, and the decorations were probably added there later, in a refined and lively style, closely following a Byzantine 11th century Psalter.

Printing
Many of the miniatures illustrate—often not very closely—passages from a psalm, with thin red lines drawn between miniature and text to indicate the passage intended (compare the Chludov Psalter). Sometimes the meaning of the illustration is explained in long notes in the same thin red draft (apparently original). Each leaf is about 30 x 24.5 cm, larger than a typical Byzantine psalter. The weighty and elegant script and large size of the page adds to the impressiveness of the book.

History
The Psalter passed through the hands of numerous Lithuanian nobles before being sold to the Russian Count Sergey Sheremetev in the mid-19th century. Courtesy of the count, its first printed edition was prepared by Nikodim Kondakov and Fyodor Buslaev. In 1932, the Sheremetev Library merged into the Russian National Library in St Petersburg.

Talk:Quadrumana

Useful excerpts from Wetman's Talkpage
You added the line:
 * The attempted division of "Quadrumana" from "Bimana" form a stage in the long campaign to find a secure way of distinguishing Homo sapiens from the rest of the great apes, a distinction that was theologically essential.

What evidence do you have for this claim? I am inclined to agree with you, but it would be useful to indicate an authority for this claim. In particular, was Blumenbach theologically motivated, or was his division merely convenient on theological grounds? Gdr 13:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

 * It's an important thread in the history of ideas, being debated between Owen and Huxley in 1861, still lively today. Read Carter Blake in Edinburgh Review, 1863:, occasioned by Thomas Henry Huxley's Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature that year. I haven't read Darwin's Descent of Man though I should have at my age, I know: there will be grist for your mill there too.

 * If you'll Google "Quadrumana distinction" as I have done, you'll find some good quotes for the article along this line, which is essential to discussing the motivation for "Quadrumana". Who has written specifically on this subject more recently? Stephen Jay Gould touched on it in The Mismeasure of Man and in several of his long series of "Reflections" for Natural History Magazine I recall. Should it be propped up with some references do you think? You give the impression that it's a bit of a bolt from the blue for you. The theology of it is not to be laid at Blumenbach's door but is caught up in the semi-angelic nature of Man's position in the Great Chain of Being— "A being darkly wise, and rudely great" as Pope said. The definition of language keeps shifting in modern times, so that chimpanzees continue to be on their proper side of the fence. --Wetman 13:47, 7 October 2005 (UTC).

The long history of taxonomical buttressing of man's special place in nature is familiar to me (I wrote the section in the hominoid article that deals with his demotion from this pinnacle), but the location of your comment suggested to me that you were imputing a primarily theological motivation to Blumenbach, which seemed slightly anachronistic to me. I will rephrase to try to make this clearer. Gdr 14:43, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Hominoid is merely a redirect to Ape, where I see a gloss on the usage "ape" and a few lines of "Cultural aspects" that don't address this issue in the least.  ... nevertheless I have amended the text to read "a distinction that was culturally essential." The real story of "Quadrumana"—not yet addressed— lies not in the fact that it's "an obsolete division of the primates" but precisely in the debate about this human/ape distinction, which is what motivated such mediocre science.  --Wetman 15:39, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Four hands for Apes and two hands and two feet for humans?
This doesn't sound right. A lot of people say that apes also have 2 hands and 2 feet (Almost 90% would say so, it seems). I know that the hand/foot looks and operates exactly like a hand, but there's just not something right about saying it's a hand (for now). I won't revert anything just in case, but it still seems strange. Chins Up 18:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Jasper Grosvenor

Jasper Grosvenor (1794–1857) was an American financier of the early to mid 19th century. In 1832 he partnered with Thomas Rogers and Morris Ketchum to form the manufacturing firm Rogers, Ketchum and Grosvenor which became the second most popular steam locomotive manufacturing company in North America in the 19th century. He remained a partner in the business until his death in 1857.

Jasper lived in New York City with his wife Matilda, on the same upscale city block as William H. Aspinwall (founder of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and the Panama Railroad). The Grosvenors were a religious family and were patrons of New York's Church of the Ascension; after Jasper's death, Matilda donated one of the stained glass windows in the church, the Grosvenor Memorial by Frederic Crowninshield which depicts "Angels at the Sepulchre," in Jasper's memory. Matilda Grosvenor survived Jasper to die in 1885.

Stereo microscope The stereo, binocular or dissecting microscope is designed differently from the diagrams above, and serves a different purpose. It uses two eyepieces (or sometimes two complete microscopes) to provide slightly different viewing angles to the left and right eyes. In this way it produces a three-dimensional (3-D) visualisation of the sample being examined.

Scientist using a stereo microscope outfitted with a digital imaging pick-upThe stereo microscope is often used to study the surfaces of solid specimens or to carry out close work such as sorting, dissection, microsurgery, watch-making, small circuit board manufacture or inspection, and the like. Great working distance and depth of field here are important qualities for this type of microscope. Both qualities are inversely correlated with resolution: the higher the resolution (i.e., magnification), the smaller the depth of field and working distance. A stereo microscope has a useful magnification up to 100×. The resolution is maximally in the order of an average 10× objective in a compound microscope, and often much lower

Cicia

Cicia is a Fijian island of the Lau Group. One of the Northern Lau Islands, Cicia is volcanic and is composed of raised coral. Its area is 34.6 km2.

Cicia is inhabited and has a Public Works Department depot, a jetty, and an airstrip, Cicia Airport. There are five villages on the island namely: Lomati, Mabula, Naceva, Natokalau and Tarakua. Tarakua is the chiefly village, with its chief being paramount on Cicia. There is a road which encircles the island and connects all villages. There are two agricultural estates. The local economy mainly depends on copra.

The Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen) was introduced to Cicia in order to control coconut pests and is now endemic to the island.

Declared Organic Island 2013
The Organic Island Cicia has committed to having 100% of its farm agriculture produced organically. In June 2013 the island's leaders declared Cicia organic, and this has been certified by COMA. The agency worked with farmers to explain the Participatory Guarantee System and their roles in promoting and protecting the PGS. COMA continues to raise awareness in the schools and community about the organic certification. COMA's Certification Committee monitor's the operation of the PGS to ensure it adheres to the guidelines. To achieve this, the Pacific Organic and Ethical Trade Community (POETCom) with the support of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) through the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), is working with members of the Cicia Rural Development Committee and the community. Together they are building farmer capacity through a method of organic certification known as a Participatory Guarantee System (PGS), and developing local market chains for organic produce.

Another Pacific island to have made this commitment is Abaiang in Kiribati.

Metro Broadcast Corporation

Metro Broadcast Corporation Ltd. is one of Hong Kong's three radio broadcasting corporations. It was founded on 1 July 1991, and is owned by the Hong Kong-listed CK Hutchison Holdings.

Services
Metro Broadcast operates three radio channels: Metro Finance (FM104), Metro Info (FM99.7), Metro Plus (AM 1044, the only English channel). The company also offered Metro Finance Digital (DAB+), Metro Music Digital (DAB+) and Metro Life Digital (DAB+) until the company announced its intention to return its digital audio broadcasting license in September 2016. The digital audio broadcasting license was terminated in November that same year.

Metro also offers multimedia broadcasting service through mobile phones, via the mobile phone service provider 3 Mobile. In addition, Metro offers eSHOP, an online shopping website.

In 2003, the Hong Kong Government renewed Metro's broadcasting license for 12 years, with the renewal taking effect in 2004. The license was renewed for a further 12 years on March 22, 2016, with the extension taking effect on August 25 of the same year.

History
In 1990, the Hong Kong government reformed radio broadcasting regulations, allowing the introduction of a third radio station. It released the license to Metro Radio.

In 1991, Metro Radio set up its headquarters in Site 11 Whampoa Garden in Hunghom, Kowloon (香港九龍紅磡黃埔花園 第十一期). At that time, Metro Radio had two Chinese channels- channel FM99.7 (勁歌台) and channel FM104 (金曲台) and an English channel - AM 1044 (Metro News).

In 1994, Philip Chan Yan Kin (陈欣健) took over as General Manager and revised many of its programs. In 1996 Metro Radio carried out a strategic shift of focus from news services to entertainment. The names of channel FM99.7 (勁歌台) and channel FM104 (金曲台) were changed to Hit Radio (新城997) and FM Select (精選104) respectively, and Metro News became Metro Plus. In the same year, Chan Hoi-kei (陳海琪) resigned as leader, and was replaced by Bak wan-kam (白韻琴).

In 1997 due to an expansion, the head office of Metro Radio moved to Basement 2 Site 6 Whampoa Garden, Hunghom, Kowloon (香港九龍紅磡黃埔花園第六期地庫二層).

In 1998 the company set up another broadcasting station in Central's The Center (中環中心), Hong Kong Island.

On 22 January 2001, it changed the name of Hit Radio (新城997) to Metro Showbiz (新城娛樂台). On 5 February, FM Select (精選104) was renamed Metro Finance (新城財經台).

In 2004,, Metro Radio expanded its broadcasting in the Pearl River Delta by entering into a shared programming agreement with Radio Guangdong (廣東電台).

On 2 January 2008, Metro Showbiz was renamed to Metroinfo (新城知訊台). Metroinfo broadcast both entertainment and financial programs.

The CEO of Metro Radio was Kam Kwok-leung (甘國亮) and the director of Metroinfo was Chu Ming-yui (朱明銳) in the past.

Metro Finance (FM 104)
Metro Finance started up on 5 February 2001. The station delivers content relating to investment funds, securities, bonds, insurance and other information relating to financial markets in China and abroad.

Metro Finance World also organizes investment talks throughout the year. The chief executive officers of companies and investment banks or other financial commentators are invited to make speeches. Tso, the special column writer of "Investment Diary" in the Hong Kong Economic Journal, is an event organizer as well as a keynote speaker in these talks. Market trends are discussed, as well as investment advice for the audience. The talks are later broadcast by Metro Finance and other media in China.

Metro Info (FM 99.7)
Metro Showbiz broadcasts entertainment news hourly, 24 hours a day since 22 January 2001.

Hit awards
Every year Television Broadcast Limited (TVB), Commercial Radio, RTHK and Metro Radio present awards to outstanding singers, composers and authors for outstanding performance in the entertainment industry. Metro Radio holds the Hit Awards annually at the end of December (usually on Boxing Day, i.e. 26 December), which is the first award among the four. The Hit Awards gives out more than 100 different awards in categories such as singers, groups, and songs. In 2007, the music label, Gold Label boycotted the ceremony due to rumours about their singers receiving only a few awards. The station has also presented the annual Metro Radio Mandarin Hits Music Awards (新城國語力頒獎禮), around July and August, since 2002.

Metro Plus (AM 1044)
Metro plus AM1044 provides international news coverage, current affairs, entertainment, music, health, cosmetic trends, jokes and conducts interviews with celebrities. The Indonesian Hour, Filipino Hour and Desi Dhamaka are international programs available in the Hong Kong area.

Metro Plus was awarded "Caring Company 2002/2003" by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS).

Thawi Watthana district

Thawi Watthana (ทวีวัฒนา, ) is one of the 50 districts (khet) of Bangkok, Thailand. Its neighbor, clockwise from north, are Bang Kruai district of Nonthaburi province, Taling Chan, Bang Khae, and Nong Khaem Districts of Bangkok, Sam Phran and Phutthamonthon of Nakhon Pathom province.

History
The district is named after Khlong Thawi Watthana, a very long khlong (canal) that runs roughly northwest–southeast through the area. It was a tambon, part of Taling Chan district of Thonburi Province in 1933. It was promoted to a district effective 6 March 1998.

Administration
The district is divided into two sub-districts (khwaeng).

Places
Utthayan Road (ถนนอุทยาน), the road toward Phutthamonthon which is 90 m wide, about 3,861 m long, and divided into the central avenue and two parallel lanes along both sides. The road was planned as part of the grand Phutthamonthon project of Field Marshal Plaek Pibulsonggram, the then prime minister, during the 1950s. The project was stalled when he went out of office and only resumed and opened on 27 February 1999.

Siamese Cat Park (อุทยานแมวไทยโบราณ) is a farm where a rare breed of Siamese cats named Khao Manee (ขาวมณี) are kept and maintained. The cats are white and odd-eyed, i.e., left and right eyes have different colors. The possible eye colors are emerald, yellow sapphire, amber, brown, grey, diamond, blue, and light blue. It descends from royal felines of King Chulalongkorn where only nine were left before the attempt to preserve this breed was initiated by the king. Later, the park was moved to Thawi Watthana Road (ถนนทวีวัฒนา). Now it has closed down.

Thon Buri Market (ตลาดนัดธนบุรี) is a market selling agriculture products, gardening, pets, orchids among others. It sells second-hand goods on Monday and Tuesday.

House of Museums (บ้านพิพิธภัณฑ์) is a small museum that displays various kind of shops and their everyday items from around 50 years ago. It is located in Muban Khlong Pho Land, Sala Thammasop Road.

Stanislas Marie Adélaïde, comte de Clermont-Tonnerre

Stanislas Marie Adélaïde, comte de Clermont-Tonnerre (October 10, 1747 – August 10, 1792) was a French nobleman, military officer, and politician during the French Revolution.

Early life and career
Born in Mandres-aux-Quatre-Tours in the Duchy of Bar, Stanislas was the eldest son of François-Joseph, marquis de Clermont-Tonnerre (1726-1809) and his first wife, Mary Anne de Lentilhac de Gimel, and the grandson of Gaspard, duc de Clermont-Tonnerre (1688-1781), marshal of France. Following in the family tradition, he became colonel of the 1st Cuirassier Regiment.

In 1782, he married Mary Louise Josephine Delphine de Rosières de Sorans (December 1766 - October 26, 1832, Paris), lady-in-waiting to Princess Élisabeth of France; the sister of Louis XVI. They had three children, of whom only the eldest daughter survived into adulthood, marrying Esprit Louis Charles Alexandre Savary de Lancosme (1784-1853) in 1803.

Prior to the beginning of the French Revolution he was a Freemason, a noted orator (having acquired practice in speaking in the Masonic Lodge), and a Liberal. He spent time with reformists such as Antoine Pierre Joseph Marie Barnave and Jacques Pierre Brissot outside of the Assembly as they all shared the common interest of keeping the monarchy in place.

French Revolution
He was elected to the Estates-General of 1789 by the Second Estate of Paris, and was the spokesman of the minority of Liberal nobles (including the duc d'Orléans and the marquis de Lafayette) who joined the Third Estate on the 25th of June.

In July 1789, Stanislas wrote and shared two propositions based on varying cahiers from across the Assembly, one known as the Rapport du Comité de Constitution. Both liberals and conservatives alike felt the proposals were not rooted in the best interest of either faction. He was chiefly concerned with keeping the kingdom intact, yet he voted for the motion of the vicomte de Noailles to abolish feudalism in France 4–5 August 1789.

Clermont-Tonnerre desired to model the new constitution of France on the organic laws of England. He served on the first incarnation (established 17 July 1789) of the eight-member Constitutional Committee. When the National Assembly rejected its proposals for a bicameral legislature and an absolute veto for the Crown (10–11 September 1789), he resigned along with five fellow conservatives (including Jean Joseph Mounier). For the remainder of his tenure in the National Assembly he attached himself to the party of moderate Royalists, known as monarchi gens, led by Pierre Victor, baron Malouet.

He was twice elected president of the National Constituent Assembly in rapid succession (17–31 August 1789; 9–28 September 1789).

Conflict with the Jacobins
His political views earned him the animosity of radical politicians of the Palais Royal; yet in spite of threats and abuse he continued to advocate a moderate liberal policy, especially in the matter of removing restrictions for the Jews and Protestants and extending the system of trial by jury.

In January 1790, he collaborated with Pierre Victor, baron Malouet in founding the Club des Impartiaux and the Journal des Impartiaux, the names of which were changed in November to the Société des Amis de la Constitution Monarchique and Journal de la Société, in order to emphasize their opposition to the Jacobin Club. Their Société des Amis was denounced by Antoine Pierre Joseph Marie Barnave in the Assembly (January 21, 1791), and on March 28 it was attacked by a mob, whereupon it was closed by order of the National Assembly.

Stanislas's efforts to pass legislation in the Assembly ultimately failed as he would end up dead at the hands of the riots. Many of his fellow nobles such as Barnave and Brissot would ultimately meet the same fates under 40 brought upon them by the revolutionaries.

Last Days
Clermont-Tonnerre was arrested after the Flight to Varennes (21 June 1791). He was released on 10 August 1792, only to be murdered by the people of Paris during the storming of the Tuileries. He attempted to contact King Louis XVI through the rioting but was apprehended by one of Robespierre's mobs while hiding in Madame de Brassac's home. Their animosity toward any sympathizer of the King led them to believe he should be executed immediately. Stanislas was then forced through a fourth-floor window and fell to his death.

Nikkal

Nikkal (logographically dNIN.GAL, alphabetically 𐎐𐎋𐎍 nkl) or Nikkal-wa-Ib (nkl wib) was a goddess worshiped in various areas of the ancient Near East west of Mesopotamia. She was derived from the Mesopotamian goddess Ningal, and like her forerunner was regarded as the spouse of a moon god, whose precise identity varied between locations. While well attested in Hurrian and Hittite sources, as well as in Ugarit, she is largely absent from documents from the western part of ancient Syria.

Name and character
Nikkal was derived from the Mesopotamian goddess Ningal (Sumerian: "great lady"), wife of the moon god Nanna. Similarly to deities such as Ea, Damkina, Aya or Pinikir she was introduced from Mesopotamia to Hurrian areas possibly as early as in the third millennium BCE. Alfonso Archi assumes that the presence of Ningal in the pantheon of the kingdom of Mari in particular was in part responsible for her adoption by the Hurrians and her later prominence in their religion. He stresses that Ningal she was already known in the west in the Ur III period.

In Hittite sources Nikkal's name was usually spelled logographically as dNIN.GAL, though phonetic syllabic spellings such as dNi-ik-kal are also known, while in Hurrian texts the latter predominate. An additional form of the name, Nikkal-wa-Ib ("Nikkal and Ib"), is known from Ugarit. It is commonly accepted that the second element means "fruit" in Ugaritic and that it is analogous to a similar epithet of the Mesopotamian Nanna, dIn-bi, "the fruit". However, restorations of Ugaritic texts including the phrase ilat inbi, "goddess of fruit," are now regarded as erroneous and there is no evidence that such an epithet was ever applied to Nikkal independently from the name Nikkal-wa-Ib. An alternate interpretation associates Ib with Umbu, a name of the moon god in Hurrian sources which possibly originated in Upper Mesopotamia. However, according to Mauro Giorgieri connecting this epithet with the Umbu, or treating the latter as an epithet of Nikkal, is problematic. He concludes that instances where the name Umbu precedes Nikkal should be treated as references to a dyad of deities, the former being the name of the Hurrian moon god in this context. The etymology of this theonym ultimately remains uncertain.

Due to Nikkal's infrequent appearances in mythological texts discussion of her character is regarded as largely speculative. In Hittite tradition she could function as one of the deities linked to oaths alongside Išḫara and the moon god. However, such attestations are not common.

Association with other deities
The notion of Ningal being the wife of the moon god was retained by cultures who adopted her into their pantheons as Nikkal. Hurrian texts feature Nikkal paired with the moon god under both of his names, Kušuḫ and Umbu. The dyad Umbu-Nikkal is first attested in the fifteenth century BCE. Piotr Taracha notes that it can be considered an example of a broader phenomenon of worship of dyads of deities in Hurrian religion, and compares this case to the pairing of deities such as Ḫepat and Šarruma, Ninatta and Kulitta, Hutena and Hutellura, Išḫara and Allani or two hypostases of Nupatik in cultic context due to their similar characteristics. In Ugarit Nikkal is attested alongside Kušuḫ, but she was also regarded as the spouse of local moon god Yarikh.

Maḫitti (singular) or Maḫittena (plural) are attested as members of Nikkal's circle in a Hurro-Hittite context. Volkert Haas suggested that they were divine prophetesses, and interpreted their name as an Akkadian loanword in Hurrian based on the similarity to the terms maḫḫitu and maḫḫutu(m) attested in the Mari texts. A ritual attributed to queen Nikkal-mati lists various further deities who belonged to the circle of Nikkal, including Zēdu (possibly her divine handmaiden), Alwil, Agaššari, the "gods of the father" of Nikkal, as well as other groups of deities not provided with individual names (širini, ḫawari and gate) divine hounds and piglets.

The Hittite text known as "prayer of Kantuzzili" refers to Ištanu (the "Sun god of Heaven") as Nikkal's son.

It has been proposed that a god known only from the Ugaritic myth Marriage of Nikkal and Yarikh, ḫrḫb, might be Nikkal's father. However, modern restorations of the text indicate explicit references to such a relation are lacking. He is referred to with two epithets, with the first being agreed to mean "king of summer" or "king of the summer fruit," while the meaning of the second is regarded as connected to the institution of marriage (proposals include "king of weddings," "king of the wedding season" and "king of marriage"). In the past interpretations such as "king of the raiding season" were also proposed. He is assumed to be a deity of Hurrian origin, and it is possible that his name might mean "he of the mountain Ḫiriḫ(i)", and end with the suffix -bi (Ḫiriḫ(i)bi). This type of divine name would be similar to these of Hurrian deities Kumarbi and Nabarbi, meaning respectively "he of Kumme" and "she of Nawar."

Worship
Nikkal had a prominent position in the Hurrian pantheon, and Alfonso Archi highlights that she is the only spouse of a Mesopotamian deity incorporated into the Hurrian pantheon who also appears in Hurrian sources on her own. Areas in which she was worshiped included the Hurrian kingdom of Kizzuwatna, the Hittite Empire and Ugarit. It is assumed that in the latter two areas she was received through Hurrian intermediaries. Volkert Haas attributed her introduction to the Hittite pantheon to queen Nikkal-mati, the wife of Tudḫaliya I. Most Hittite ritual texts which mention Nikkal are assumed to be influenced by the culture of Kizzuwatna. A prayer of Muwatalli II identified her as one of the deities of Kummanni. In Hurro-Hittite sources she appears in the offering lists (kaluti) dedicated to the circle of the goddess Ḫepat. She is also among the deities depicted in the Yazılıkaya sanctuary in a procession of deities compared to lists known from these texts, where she appears between Damkina and Aya. However, in Ankuwa during the reign of Tudḫaliya IV she received offerings as a deity from the kaluti of Teshub instead. A distinct kaluti centered on her is also known. In the Kizzuwatnean ritual of Ammiḫatna Nikkal is among the goddesses mentioned in the context of offerings made to all the female deities (Hurrian: ḫeyarunna aštuḫina). The fragmentary ritual text KUB 51.73 mentions offerings made to Nikkal and her throne.

A number of Hittite theophoric names invoking Nikkal are known, including these of queen Nikkal-mati and her daughter Ashmu-Nikkal. Haas pointed out that etymologically Hurrian theophoric names of queens invoking Nikkal and Ḫepat might point at a connection of the Middle Hittite royal house with southern Anatolia and northern Syria, where both of these goddesses were worshiped. It is possible that Nikkal-mati was the queen who according to a Middle Hittite document presided over a private ritual to Nikkal, in which her two sons, a priest (possibly named Kantuzzili) and Tulpi-Teshub also took part.

Ugaritic reception
In Ugarit Nikkal is attested in both Ugaritic and Hurrian texts. Some researchers, for example Aicha Rahmouni, refer to her as a Hurrian deity even while discussing Ugaritic sources. According to Gernot Wilhelm and Piotr Taracha the city can be considered a major cult center of Nikkal. The text RS 24.250+ mentions a sanctuary dedicated to her, designated by the term ḫmn. One of the texts from this site preserves a Hurrian hymn dedicated to her, accompanied by musical notation. Its contents were originally published by Emmanuel Laroche alongside other Hurrian texts from Ugarit in 1968, while the first author to propose that the text might represent musical notation was Hans Gustav Güterbock in 1970. Offerings to Nikkal are mentioned in Hurrian context in the text RS 24.254. Another of the ritual texts in which she appears, KTU3 1.111, combines Ugaritic and Hurrian elements and lists offerings to her alongside these to both Kušuḫ and Yarikh. She is also among the deities mentioned in RS 24.261, which similarly combines Ugaritic and Hurrian elements and focuses on Šauška and her counterpart Ashtart. During a ritual which took place during the final month of the Ugaritic lunar calendar, Ra’šu-Yêni ("first wine"), she received a cow as an offering directly after sacrifices to Yarikh.

Multiple theophoric names invoking Nikkal are known from Ugarit as well. Seven individuals bearing them have been identified as of 2016. One of them was Eḫli-Nikkal. She is the only presently known Hittite princess who married into the Ugaritic royal family.

A treaty between Ugarit and Carchemish indicates that Nikkal was also worshiped in two other nearby settlements, Gur'atu and Nubannu, both of which were under the control of the latter kingdom.

Miscellaneous attestations
Nikkal is not attested in non-Hurrian non-Ugaritic sources from Bronze Age western Syria. According to Gina Konstantopoulos, it is possible that a reference to Nikkal which she compares to the attestations of this goddess from Ugarit might be present in the treaty between Ashur-nirari V of Assyria and Mati-ilu of Arpad from the first millennium BCE, which invokes many western deities, for example Hadad of Aleppo, Karhuha and Kubaba from Carchemish or Melqart and Eshmun from Phoenicia, alongside Assyrian ones.

In Egypt Nikkal is only attested in Leiden Magical Papyrus I dated to the reign of the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt, in which she appears as a foreign deity implored to heal a specific affliction.

Mythology
Nikkal appears in an Ugaritic text (CAT 1.24) describing the circumstances of her marriage to the moon god, Yarikh. It is assumed that the myth is either a translation of a Hurrian text, or at least an adaptation of motifs pertaining to Nikkal and Kušuḫ in Hurrian mythology. A possible indication that the text's forerunners originated outside Ugarit is also the presence of a reference to Dagan of Tuttul in it. Through the text, Nikkal is referred to as glmt, "young woman." Based on the use of the term in other Ugaritic texts, especially the Epic of king Kirta, it is assumed that it can designate a bride. Yarikh wants to marry Nikkal, but Ḫrḫb initially proposes other prospective brides to him instead, Baal's daughter Pidray and Attar's daughter ybrdmy, which lead some researchers to propose he is simply the matchmaker, rather than Nikkal's father as often assumed. Yarikh shows no interest in either of these goddesses. After showing he is willing to offer a large amount of silver, gold and lapis lazuli and promising that he is capable of siring a child he secures a permission to marry Nikkal. He states that he will "make her fields vineyards, fields of her love orchards," which is both a figurative and metaphorical reference to the marriage being fruitful according to Steve A. Wiggins. It has been proposed that a poorly preserved section of the text describes a sexual encounter between Nikkal and Yarikh, but this remains uncertain.

Sergio Witz

Sergio Witz Rodríguez (born 1962 in Campeche, Campeche) is a Mexican poet. His literary work has been recognized by Mexico's National Fund for Culture and Arts (FONCA), a government agency that promotes the arts and culture by funding promising talents.

Witz was the winner of the 1994 Tabasco Poetry Prize. He is the author of "Como hierba ardiente," "Ciudad de paso" and "Mi odio por los barcos." The opinion has been expressed that his writing follows the tradition of the "poètes maudits" such as Charles Baudelaire in France and Charles Bukowski in the United States.

In 2002, he published a brief poem titled "La patria entre mierda" ("The Motherland among the Shit"), in which he expressed a desire to use the flag of Mexico as lavatory paper. Because of the controversy caused by this poem, the Attorney General decided to proceed with a prosecution and filed federal charges against Witz for the crime of "insulting national symbols." An amparo relief filing he lodged with the Supreme Court was dismissed on October 5, 2005, allowing the prosecution to proceed. On May 7, 2008, a federal court in Campeche found him guilty and, ignoring the public prosecutor's request that a custodial sentence be imposed, ordered him to pay a fine of $50 (€3.10, US$4.75).
