10,381,873 | Elsa García Rodriguez (born February 8, 1990) is a Mexican artistic gymnast and she competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
== Senior career ==
=== 2006 ===
In March, Garcia placed fifth at the American Cup in Philadelphia, United States with a score of 57.050.
In April, Garcia competed at the Pacific Rim Championships in Honolulu, United States. She contributed a vault score of 14.650 toward the Mexican team's sixth-place finish.
In July, Garcia competed at the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games in Cartagena, Colombia. She contributed an all around score of 57.250 toward the Mexican team's first-place finish. She placed first in the all around final with a score of 58.332. In event finals, she placed third on vault scoring 14.062, first on uneven bars scoring 15.150, and first on floor scoring 14.125.
In October, Garcia competed at the 2006 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Aarhus, Denmark. The Mexican team placed eighteenth and individually she placed thirty third with a score of 56.525.
=== 2007 ===
At the beginning of March, Garcia placed third at the American Cup in Jacksonville, United States with a score of 60.200.
In March, Garcia competed at the Artistic Gymnastics World Cup event in Paris, France. She placed third on vault scoring 14.325, sixth on uneven bars scoring 14.425, and second of floor scoring 15.100.
At the end of March, Garcia competed at the Artistic Gymnastics World Cup event in Cottbus, Germany. She placed third on vault scoring 14.450, first on uneven bars scoring 15.250, and first on floor scoring 15.125.
In May, Garcia competed at the Artistic Gymnastics World Cup event in Ghent, Belgium. She placed second on vault scoring 14.463 and second on floor scoring 14.675.
In July, Garcia competed at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She placed seventh in the all around final with a score of 56.200. In event finals, she placed fourth on vault scoring 14.462, fourth on uneven bars scoring 15.050, and fifth on balance beam scoring 14.525.
In September, Garcia competed at the 2007 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Stuttgart, Germany. The Mexican team placed twentieth and individually she placed seventy fourth in the all around competition with a score of 52.775. Prior to the competition she injured her Psoas muscle and based on her performances she did not qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics. Garcia said, "2007 was a really special and contradictory year for me, because I achieved so much in the World Cup series and obviously because of my injury that left me out of Beijing."
=== 2008 ===
In June, Garcia competed at the Artistic Gymnastics World Cup event in Barcelona, Spain. She placed fourth on vault scoring 13.438 and third on uneven bars scoring 13.750.
Garcia hoped to earn a wild card spot for the 2008 Summer Olympics but did not. "2008 was kind of frustrating, mainly because I didn't know if I would get the wild card or not. Finally I got an answer to that, and, well, you know all about that." She added, "It was tough to continue knowing that my goal and dream was passing me by. It was hard seeing the competitions on TV in my house, but I wouldn't let myself quit. First of all, because I can't give up on something that fills me with happiness and that I still enjoy very much. Second, I know who I am, and what I am capable of doing if I set my mind to it, so there's nothing like keeping on training and setting new goals to keep myself motivated. Of course, not every day is a great day, but overcoming the hard parts is what makes us realize why we are doing this."
In December, Garcia competed at the Artistic Gymnastics World Cup final in Madrid, Spain. She placed fourth on vault scoring 14.400 and eighth on floor scoring 13.175. Garcia said, "The World Cup Final in Madrid came like a surprise for us, and it helped my coaches and me get the hang of things again, and to reassure me that I want to keep doing this for another four years."
=== 2009 ===
At the beginning of the year. Garcia had surgery on her left hand. She said, "There was an abnormal bone growth due to hard impacts and over-training. So I had surgery, and then had to recover from it and start little by little again. So this year I haven't competed at all. This year is the first year in the Olympic cycle, so we're taking it slow, because next year will be a busy one."
In October, Garcia competed at the 2009 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in London, United Kingdom. She placed twelfth in the all around final with a score of 54.875 and eighth in the vault final with a score of 13.287. At the World Championships, Garcia was awarded with the Longines Prize for Elegance.
=== 2010 ===
In March, Garcia placed eighth at the American Cup in Worcester, United States with a score of 53.900.
In July, Garcia competed at the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. She contributed an all around score of 55.200 toward the Mexican team's first-place finish. "Mexico really started well and ended well," Garcia said. "There were great performances from us and other countries, but in the end we got first." She placed second in the all around final with a score of 55.950. In event finals, she placed first on vault scoring 13.812, eighth on uneven bars scoring 11.275, second on balance beam scoring 13.675, and first on floor scoring 14.000. Garcia said, "I think that over the past four years, the technical quality of the gymnasts in this region has improved."
In September, Garcia competed at the Pan American Championships in Guadalajara, Mexico. She placed fourth in the all around competition with a score of 56.232. In event finals, she placed sixth on vault scoring 13.825, seventh on uneven bars scoring 13.300, fourth on balance beam scoring 13.625, and fifth on floor scoring 13.650. "It's a good place, but I know I can improve further," Garcia said. "The objective was met. We are very happy because we were fighting on each apparatus."
In October, Garcia competed at the 2010 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The Mexican team placed twenty first and individually she placed fifty first in the all around competition.
In December, Garcia had surgery to remove a Synovial cyst in her left hand.
=== 2011 ===
In February, Garcia resumed training. She said, "After surgery it was immobilized for a month with a splint. I am almost ending my second month that is filled with mobility, rehab and strengthening my hand. So I think I will be recovered completely in April, or maybe May. I am constantly visualizing myself doing the skills I do, and that makes me want to train more and more." Garcia later added, "It was a rough and slow beginning this year because of the operation; but my hand has been fully operational since May, so I've had the chance to slowly regain and really train all the apparatuses and skills. The only times it hurts a bit is when there is a change of climate or when I do lots of vaults, but nothing serious. After my hand operation, it took me a lot of out-of-the-gym training to regain all of my body strength. I did a lot of cardiovascular training and weight lifting, and went back to the basics in gymnastics. The skills I do were in my mind, and my body knew how to do them. I just had to regain control of my body."
In October, Garcia competed at the 2011 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Tokyo, Japan. The Mexican team placed seventeenth and individually she placed sixty third in the all around competition. Before the competition she said, "I can surely say that I am really excited about this year's world championships. I hope that we Mexicans show the world what we are capable of achieving, I think we can place in the top 18."
Later in October, Garcia competed at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. She contributed an all around score of 52.875 towards the Mexican team's third-place finish and she placed fifth in the all around final with a score of 54.425. In event finals, she placed second on vault scoring 14.312, third on uneven bars scoring 13.625, and fifth on floor scoring 13.400.
=== 2012 ===
In January, Garcia competed at the London Prepares series in London, United Kingdom. She placed seventeenth in the all around competition with a score of 54.631. She injured her knee during warm-ups for the vault final. She said, "It was a hyperextension of the ligaments around the knee and connection between the bones, because as my knee went backward my bones crashed into each other. No surgery was needed, but I used a knee cast for a while and then pure rehab, slowly regaining mobility and strength."
In May, Garcia competed at the Mexican Championships. "My performance was exactly as planned," she said. "It was the first competition after my injury so it was to get back in competition form but without doing very difficult skills — letting myself know that I was back in the game. (I did) only bars and beam with full difficulty skills, vault all I did were Yurchenko layouts and on floor I did my first two passes with my coach spotting me, and the rest were very simple tumbling passes."
In June, Garcia won the all around competition at Mexico's National Olympiad with a score of 56.300. In event finals, she placed third on vault scoring 13.762, third on uneven bars scoring 13.075, first on balance beam scoring 14.200, and second on floor scoring 14.600. "I recently competed at our country's National Olympiad doing four full routines packed with almost every difficulty I will be showing in London," she said. "Hopefully just missing an upgrade to a double-twisting Yurchenko on vault and a Patterson dismount on beam."
==== London Olympics ====
At the end of July, Garcia competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom. She injured her hand prior to qualifications and was only able to compete on two events. She scored 12.400 on balance beam and 13.733 on floor.
====2013====
In 2013 Elsa competed at the 2013 Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia. She managed to get a medal at the floor final, clinching the silver medal in a tie with Ellie Black, while Ksenia Afanasyeva won gold. Despite her good results at the universiade she did not go to the world championships later that year. Instead her teammate Ana Lago was the lone representative for Mexico at the 2013 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Antwerp, Belgium.
====2014====
In 2014 after missing out most of the season she had good performances along with her team at the 2014 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Nanning, China. She helped Mexico to achieve one of their best world championships placements at 14th place. Her teammate Alexa Moreno qualified to the vault final and finished 6th while Elsa herself managed to make the all around final for the first time since 2009. She is currently competing at the 2014 Central American and Caribbean Games in Veracruz, Mexico.

29,434,198 | Midnight Son is a 2011 vampire written and directed by Scott Leberecht, produced by Matt Compton, and starring Zak Kilberg. A trailer was released late October 2010.
==Plot==
Jacob (Zak Kilberg) is a young man in Los Angeles, California who lives a life of isolation by day and works as a security guard by night. This is due to a rare skin disorder developed in his youth that prevents him from being exposed to sunlight. His world opens up when he meets and falls in love with a local bartender and secret druggie, Mary (Maya Parish), recently departing a relationship with a drug dealer. Beginning to crave blood, as everyday food no longer cures his hunger, Jacob suspects he may be a vampire, though his physician, Dr. Barnes (Kevin McCorkle), diagnoses him to be anemic. His condition worsens and he goes from consuming animal blood to depending on human blood for medical sustenance, a necessity which brings out his violent tendencies on people in the city.
Jacob, longing to be normal, hides his deteriorating condition from Mary, and their romantic relationship suffers because of it. Searching for blood at a hospital, Jacob comes in contact with an immoral hospital physician named Marcus (Jo D. Jonz), who alongside his younger, misguided brother, Russell (Arlen Escarpeta), helps Jacob by milking a patient for blood in exchange for money, a grim method Jacob is against. Shortly, Detective Ginslegh (Larry Cedar) narrows his focus on Jacob during a homicide investigation.
While on security one night, Jacob assaults a disobedient man, resulting in his job termination. Fascinated with Jacob’s paintings and attempting to help him monetize it, Mary interests her friend, Liz (Juanita Jennings), who works at an art gallery. However, his relationship with Mary, suspicious there is more complications to his health, falls apart. In desperation, Jacob approaches Marcus to help him get more blood, but Marcus turns him down for initially opposing his actions. After Marcus hits him, Jacob lashes back and causes Marcus an injury on broken glass, leaving him to bleed heavily.
Jacob reconciles with Mary, confessing to her he is suffering from severe anemia, which plays a role in his skin sensitivity. When they decide to ditch a party at the gallery, Russell tracks and follows them to a quiet location, shooting Mary to avenge his missing brother who he believes Jacob killed. Jacob is able to retrieve the gun and scare him away. He sucks the bullet out of Mary’s chest and soon realizes he passed on his contagious case of anemia to her. Jacob keeps her isolated in his home and not wanting to harm Mary, attempts to convince Detective Ginslegh that he infected and killed the girl in the homicide case whose body burned during sunrise, but there is mysteriously no evidence for an arrest.
Jacob finds out Marcus is alive, and he is left with a burn on his face from escaping daylight, after Jacob had sucked his blood, infected him and left him for dead. Morally corrupt, Marcus forces Jacob and Russell to dismember and dump the dead old man’s body they used to extract blood from. After Marcus decides to dumb the body instead, they revolt against him, with Russell using a cinderblock to knock Marcus unconscious before running away. Jacob chains Marcus up and leaves him to burn at the break of dawn. He returns home the next night, and Detective Ginslegh follows him there, looking to arrest him for seemingly harming Mary, who starves for blood. In an act of need, Jacob kills Detective Ginslegh, providing blood for him and Mary to feast on. In the end, they kiss and begin their new found life together.

==Critical reception==
Midnight Son received very positive reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes rated the film "Fresh" with 95% of critical reviews being positive.
Philip French of The Observer newspaper said it was "a frightening story, plausibly developed within a relatively brief running time, and the central love between the male protagonist increasingly addicted to blood and a girl addicted to cocaine is oddly moving."
The Daily Telegraph's Robbie Collin stated that "Horror films driven by ideas are thin on the ground, but behind the gory façade of Scott Leberecht's debut feature there ticks some cleverly assembled clockwork."

Oppose: similar, but not the same. Both are also xylophones, but given the differences in construction (baboo v. hardwood; wood versus horn hammer) and local practice, it seems reasonable to keep them separate. Klbrain (talk) | 779,141,162 | 2017-05-07T07:49:29 | Gambang (instrument) | 2,018 |
55,705,497 | , also known as Blackmail Is My Business, is a 1968 Japanese crime film directed by Kinji Fukasaku.
==Plot==
Shun Muraki is a low-level blackmailer who specializes in extorting money from prosperous Tokyo businessmen by threatening to reveal their crimes and indiscretions. His crew includes the former yakuza member Seki, the failed boxer Neguchi (nicknamed "Zero"), and the alluring Otoki. They regularly meet in their hideout in the back of a restaurant and follow the three rules of blackmail: don't make any new friends, don't push too hard, and never hit the same mark twice.
Shun Muraki finds his way into the business when he overhears that his boss at the restaurant where he waits tables is selling fake whiskey. After being beaten for not promising to stay silent he blackmails the source of the fake alcohol for 100,000 yen. They follow up this success by kidnapping a gangster who runs a brothel that films its clients to blackmail them and the blackmailers force him to give up all of the film reels in exchange for his life. One of the reels features popular actress Natsuko Mizuhara, whom Shun pressures into becoming his lover by threatening to release the film.
Zero's father is found floating in Yokohama Bay and the police suspect murder, noting the amount of water in his lungs and drugs found in his system. Zero knows that his father was using drugs at the beach and Seki tells them that the drug traffic there is controlled by the Nagamisawa family led by Nagamisawa and his lieutenant Komori. Zero beats up the man who killed his father and they learn about an upcoming drug deal involving Nagamisawa. Shun's crew ambushes the deal with Molotov cocktails but the money accidentally gets burned.
Kosuke Endo, a loan shark with millions in industrial loans, is shot at by a man with one gold tooth while leaving a meeting with political mastermind Shinzo Mizuno. Shun saves Endo and Endo tells Shun that he owes him. Newspaper reporter Hiroshi Miyake and Goro Okunaga, an old acquaintance of Shun, believe that the attack was planned by Shinzo Mizuno to send a warning. Okunaga explains that Endo contributed 700 million yen to the campaign of the Conservative Party Prime Minister at the last minute to ensure his election and in return demanded a written statement known as the Otaguro Memorandum which could force the resignation of Prime Minister Shimizu. Endo uses the memorandum to extort money as well as protect his own life and Shun's crew plans to get the memorandum for themselves. Shun visits Endo, who explains that he knows it was only a warning because the memorandum would be leaked if he were to die. Shun threatens that he will find Endo's weakness and force him to hand over the memorandum.
Later that night Zero spies on Endo's residence but is caught by the man with the gold tooth and beaten to death. Natsuko tells Shun that she is leaving him because she received a marriage proposal from the president of the Showa department store. Seki feels overwhelmed by the odds against them and decides to stop being a blackmailer. Shun and Otoki allow him to run the restaurant instead.
Shun and Otoki kidnap Endo and threaten to burn him alive, forcing him to hand over the memorandum. They call Shinzo Mizuno from a payphone and demand 100 million yen in exchange for the memorandum. Overcome with excitement, Shun and Otoki make love in the car. Shun gives Otoki the memorandum and tells her to give it to Okunaga, who has newspaper connections. Okunaga tells Otoki that Endo has been arrested for forging the documents he used to expose others and tries to destroy the memorandum out of fear of the overwhelming odds against them but Otoki insists that it is real and believes that the newspapers are in on the conspiracy. Shun goes to the place designated for the exchange in front of the National Theatre at 4:00 p.m. but notices a newspaper headline that Endo was arrested for forgery and gives up in frustration. He nonchalantly walks away but as he is crossing the street he is stabbed in the stomach by an unknown man. Shinzo Mizuno, who has been watching from his car, tells his driver to drive away as Shun bleeds to death in the busy crosswalk.

==Production==
Director Kinji Fukasaku and three writers wrote the film in a hotel in just one weekend. Although Fukasaku went unaccredited for his part in the writing. In the North American release's liner notes, Patrick Macias writes that Sadao Nakajima's 1966 film 893 Gurentai was an influence; with Fukasaku writing the role of Shun specifically for its actor Hiroki Matsukata.
Fukasaku originally shot the final death scene in Ginza himself, hidden in a car in order to capture real reactions from the public. But the footage lacked drama and intimacy, and the scene was re-shot with Hiroki Matsukata purposefully staggering towards the crowds to unsuccessfully entice a reaction.
John Berra writes that Fukasaku "takes his directorial inspiration from the French New Wave" and that the film's "third act was reportedly inspired by real-life real-estate swindles that involved Kakuei Tanaka, who was then the Finance Minister of Japan, and would later become the nation's Prime Minister, and the episodic structure of the film serves to illustrate how greedy even small-time operators were becoming in an era of economic growth." Berra also identifies a tribute to Seijun Suzuki's cult classic Tokyo Drifter (1966), noting that the film's characters whistle its theme song. Both films' scores were written by the same composer, Hajime Kaburagi.
==Critical reception==
Macias wrote that Matsukata's performance as Shun helped lay the foundation for Fukasaku's protagonists to come; equal parts lovable and amoral, and "destined for oblivion."
Glenn Erickson for DVD Talk wrote that Blackmail Is My Life "channels the spirit of rebellious anarchy seen in Jean-Luc Godard, filtered through America's Bonnie & Clyde. Fukasaku adds a jumpy 'chaotic but formulaic' style that keeps it moving along, through a lot of crime clichés."
In a different review for DVD Talk, Stuart Galbraith IV called the movie "An enjoyable but generally routine crime melodrama." He praised the film's highly stylized visuals, its black and white and tinted flashbacks and its freeze frames, and Kaburagi's musical score. But called the unbelievable and "pure macho male fantasy" relationship between Shun and Natsuko its biggest problem.
After describing the various visual effects, Scott Tobias of The A.V. Club wrote that "An excess of style takes some of the coherency and sting out of Blackmail, which is sometimes guilty of appropriating Godard-esque tricks for cool's sake." He referred to the film as inferior to Nagisa Oshima's similar Cruel Story of Youth.
In the 2010 book Japan, John Berra writes that Fukasaku "integrates his stylistic sensibility within a recognizable social-economic milieu and comments on the corrupt underbelly of the economic boom" and describes the first half of the film as "bright, colourful, amoral fun" before the later development plot in the second half of the film.
==Home video release==
Blackmail Is My Life was presented by the American Cinematheque in 2002. They then released it on DVD in North America with Home Vision Entertainment on January 6, 2004.

29,434,202 | The Body Silent is a personal narrative written by Robert Murphy, a professor at Columbia University. This piece is a narrative of personal struggle through a spinal condition, published in 1987 by Henry Holt and Company, Inc. He uses this narrative to tell his journey through a deteriorating spinal condition leading to paraplegia. He was diagnosed with a tumor extending from his second cervical vertebra to the eighth thoracic vertebra in 1972. Through his narrative he tells his medical history and how the diagnosis of old medicine (late 1920s) knew very little about neurology, and left undetected problems which created a new issue in his 50's. As an anthropology professor at Columbia University, he applies his field to his medical journey. "This book was conceived in the realization that my long illness with a disease of the spinal cord has been a kind of extended anthropological field trip, for through it I have sojourned in a social world no less strange to me at first than those of the Amazon forests. And since it is the duty of all anthropologists to report on their travels . . . this is my accounting." Due to funded research of his medical experiences and conditions, he provides the readers with a description and explanation of what he deals with, plus a constant discussion of future possibility and his mindset throughout.
==Production==
The National Science Foundation funded production of the book, and it was published by Holt.
==Genre==
Metapathography pieces are not stories and tales of sickness, but a professional self-analysis and in-depth writing of ones personal state. Although Metapathography is not a classified genre, other authors and professionals who reviewed his material defined it set aside from a personal narrative, due to his thorough analysis of mental and physical condition.
==Biography==
Robert Murphy was born on March 3, 1924, in Far Rockaway, New York. He was studious and became a distinguished anthropologist and professor of anthropology at Columbia University in New York City, from the early 1960s to 1990. He studied many different cultures across the globe, such as the Mundurucu of the Amazon and tribes in the Sahara. At the age of 66, he died in his home in Leonia, New Jersey.
===Medical History===
In 1928, Murphy lost the use of his leg. A house doctor diagnosed him with "a touch of rheumatism" which took him two weeks to recover from. Murphy began to experience muscle spasms in his anus, and in his lower abdomen in 1972, and soon had trouble urinating. He was then diagnosed with an anal fissure, meaning of a slight break in the muscle. After a few years of symptoms, he visited a neurologist and was diagnosed with a benign but slowly growing tumor in the upper part of his spinal cord. Within two years his central nervous system was severely damaged, and lost control of most bodily functions.
==Awards==
In 1987, the book was awarded the Columbia University's Lionel Trilling Award.

I'm one of the editors of John Osborne and Look Back in Anger. I'm disappointed by your recently-added stub on Pamela Lane.

10,381,880 | == Scholarship ==
Is there some kind of scholarship that supports this type of organization of material? Hires an editor
Some books on the Central American crisis did use a country-based thematic organization. For instance, The Central American Crisis Reader divides into chapters on Historical Background, two chapters on Nicaragua, two chapters on El Salvador, a chapter on US policy, and a chapter on Soviet and others' policies. Inevitable Revolutions, in Chapters IV and V, also follow a scheme similar to the current article. It is of course not the only way to organize the article, and whether this is in fact the best way to do so going forward could be debated. For instance, a more straightforwardly chronological version could be attempted. I am not wedded to my initial sectional scheme, and if you have your own ideas how the material could be reorganized, I'm open to hearing them.
Okay, so there's some scholarship. :-) I'd just never thought about it like this. It doesn't seem like a "Crisis" but then again, we have a verifiable source that says this is what it was. I was a little suprised to see it listed this way, but I'm getting used to it. :-) Hires an editor
== Scope and name of article ==
I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable with the name of this article. It kind of rubbed me the wrong way from the start, but I didn't want to let my initial reaction determine my view of things. I first saw the article because it was substituted for two separate entries in the Cold War template, which raised red flags for me. (And I'm still not sure I'm entirely comfortable with that change, either. :)
Given that the template is a prominent feature of this article, it seems pretty evident that the subject matter is being viewed very much from within that particular historical frame
That being said, I do think there's good reason to have an article that covers developments in the entire region during the time period. But I would be much happier if we came up with a better name for it, for starters. I haven't resolved this in my own mind yet, so I'm going to indulge in a bit of "thinking out loud", if that's alright.
On one hand, the word "upheavals" keeps occurring to me, though I haven't yet come up with a title that makes good use of it. At the same time, I also keep thinking that the title needs to indicate more clearly what it's about, so it might make sense to use the term "civil wars" right there in the name. Of course, any change of terms in the title will alter the apparent scope of the article somewhat. So perhaps the first order of business should be to define that more clearly. As I've said, I want to move away from the "Yanqui-centric" view of things, which implicitly presumes that events in Central America only matter when they seem to present a "crisis" for US foreign policy. Needless to say, that's a major part of the story, but it's rather unbalanced, to say the least.
Okay, so instead of rambling on without reaching a conclusion, I'm just going to invite comments on all of this so we can get a good discussion going. Cgingold | 586,870,113 | 2013-12-20T00:21:01 | Central American crisis | 2,018 |

36,016,607 | The Rampara Kalibari (Bengali: 'রামপাড়া কালীবাড়ি' 'Rampara Kalibari') is a Hindu temple located in Rampara near Kolkata, just 35 km away from Kolkata. The presiding deity of the temple is Siddheshwari Kali, an aspect of Kali, Siddheshwar is the name of Lord Shiva, Siddheshwari is the feminine form of that. The temple was built by Nandy Family of Rampara, great devotees of Goddess Kali. The temple is famous for its Kali pooja which is held on October/November during Diwali. Devotees from far villages and from other places reach there to seek the sight of the deity. It is said that the Wooden Kali idol is more than 500 years old.
The temple compound contains a large courtyard surrounding the temple with a small garden, a Jagannath Temple, a Hall and the boundary walls. There are different rooms in the temple. The Goddess Kali is enshrined in the first room, with another deity, Panchanan, just beside her, sharing the same room. The temple has its own residential area just attached to its boundary, which belongs to the Nandy family. The Utensils and the Pooja Samagri of the temple are kept in the sacristy, other rooms of the temple. There is a Pond associated with the temple just nearby it. The temple also has a Rath, which is taken out during the Rath Yatra on the occasion of Jagannath Pooja.
== History ==
It is said that the fore father of Late Madhusudan Nandy had built the temple which was later rebuilt and subsequently developed by his sons Late Phakir Chandra Nandy, Late Surendra Nath Nandy and Late Gosto Behari Nandy, who were descendants of Nandy Family. Presently daily Puja rituals and maintenance are carried out by their present generation.
The Rampara Kalibari was founded long back by the Nandy Family. They had a great faith in Goddess Kali, so they decided to build a temple for the deity for the prosperity and happiness of the people of Rampara and the surrounding villages. The belief of the people in the Goddess was so strong that this is one of the most powerful temples of that region now.
==Architecture==
Built in the traditional style of Bengal architecture with many rooms, where one of the room is shared by the Goddess Kali with the Deity Panchanan. It is said that the initial temple was built more than 300 years ago and it was rebuilt in early 20th century and that some of its artisans involved were members who built Victoria Memorial.A separate room is built for the Jagannath-Subhadra-Balaram in the temple premises. And a hall is also included in the premises for any occasional purpose. The temple's courtyard is used for any auspicious function which is held at the temple premises.
== Gallery ==
== Further reading ==
Apart from Kali Pooja, the temple also celebrates Durga Pooja, Lakshmi Pooja and Saraswati Pooja, which are mostly celebrated everywhere in West Bengal.
There are many occasions which are held at the temple premises. All the newly wedded couples take the blessing of the deity before proceeding with any auspicious rites/rituals.

55,705,511 | The Gillespie Dam Bridge is a through truss bridge spanning the Gila River in Maricopa County, in the U.S. state of Arizona. The bridge was constructed to bypass a concrete apron through the river in front of the Gillespie Dam, which was often closed due to flooding. Construction of the bridge started in 1925 and completed in 1927. From its opening until 1956, the bridge was part of U.S. Route 80 (US 80), a transcontinental highway between San Diego, California and Tybee Island, Georgia. The bridge was restored in 2012 by Maricopa County for the Arizona Centennial and now includes an educational interpretive center for visitors. The bridge became part of Historic US 80 in 2018.
==History==
The Ocean-to-Ocean Highway was established in 1911 after delegates from California, Arizona and New Mexico met in Phoenix. The purpose of the new route was to establish an all weather transcontinental highway through the state and two territories. Between Yuma and Phoenix, a section of highway long traveled through Dome and Wellton before crossing to the north side of the Gila River, and passing through Agua Caliente, Arlington and Buckeye. Maintenance of the route was originally split between Yuma and Maricopa counties.
In 1912, state highway engineer Lamar Cobb began planning the construction of a dedicated bridge across the Gila River, surveying potential sites near Antelope Hill and Dome. Ultimately, the Antelope Hill location won out. Construction on the timber and concrete girder Antelope Hill Bridge began in 1914. The bridge measured in length. Originally the state wanted to use prison labor to construct the bridge, but had instead let Cobb hire out construction work to an individual named Perry Borchers. The construction process however was anything but routine. After beginning work on the bridge in June 1914, Borchers defaulted and a flood the following winter badly damaged the incomplete bridge. The state returned to the original solution of using unpaid prisoners and finished the bridge in 1915. Between 1917 and 1923, the Ocean-to-Ocean Highway became part of the Dixie Overland Highway, Bankhead Highway and Old Spanish Trail auto trails.
However, problems began to plague the Yuma to Phoenix section of the Ocean-to-Ocean Highway. Not only was the highway between Antelope Hill and Arlington built on weak soil, but on the Gila River floodplain as well. A flood on November 24, 1919 badly damaged the highway as did a second flood in February 1920. Flooding was also taking its toll on the Antelope Hill Bridge, with the structure being washed out every time a large flood happened. The timber approach trestles had to be replaced every time and the concrete sections constantly repaired. While the concrete girder design made it stronger against automobiles than a steel bridge, it was weaker against the heavy forces of desert flash flooding. Furthermore, the bridge was built on one of the most turbulent sections of the river.
Due to the mounting problems, the Arizona Highway Department decided in 1920 to re-route the Ocean-to-Ocean Highway between Wellton and Arlington south of the river through Gila Bend. But due to Arlington being on the north side of the Gila River, a new crossing of the Gila would have to be established. An odd solution came in the form of agricultural businessman Frank A. Gillespie and the Gillespie Land and Irrigation Company. In 1921, Gillespie and his company constructed the Gillespie Dam, a concrete irrigation dam, spanning the Gila River. After plans for a bridge across the dam fell through, the Highway Department decided instead to build a temporary concrete apron at the foot of the dam to allow cars to drive through the river until the state could build a dedicated bridge across the GIla. The apron was completed and opened to traffic in 1922. However, when river conditions proved temperamental or treacherous, the apron was either shut down or several cars had to be tied together into a long train before crossing.
Three years after the construction of the concrete apron, the Arizona Highway Department began planning for a dedicated bridge again. Preliminary survey work by means of sounding and boring was conducted in April 1925. The Highway Department consulted bridge engineer R.V. Leeson of the Topeka Bridge and Iron Works for advice. Due to the recurring problems the state of Arizona had with concrete girder bridges, Leeson suggested the state turn to building a multiple span steel through truss bridge instead. Highway Department engineer Ralph Hoffman worked with Leeson to design a multiple span Camelback through truss bridge. The abutments and piers would reach below the riverbed into solid bedrock. The deepest pier would reach below the riverbed. Each individual through truss section would be long would weigh total. The roadway would be made of heavily reinforced steel and concrete, able to handle two 15 ton trucks at once. The Camelback or Parker truss design was standard on many other steel truss bridges. The bridge would also be a Federal Aid Project.
In January 1926, the Highway Department began negotiations with potential contractors. Eleven construction companies responded with various bids. The Lee Moor Construction Company of El Paso, Texas won the contract for quoting the lowest of all potential bidders. The same month, construction workers immediately began constructing the piers for the new bridge. Whilst excavating and drilling the foundations for some of the piers, groundwater often flooded two of the newly dug holes. Large 12 inch and 16 inch water excavation pumps had to be used, each pump able to remove between and per minute. The pumps ran for five weeks until construction of the piers was complete. On November 11, 1926, the Ocean-to-Ocean Highway became part of the new transcontinental highway U.S. Route 80, part of a new numbered federal highway system, which ran from San Diego, California to Tybee Island, Georgia.
Whilst starting construction of the bridge sections in February 1927, a catastrophic flood on the Gila River occurred. It was severe enough to close the US 80 dam apron for six days, and caused large amounts of equipment and materials needed for the bridge construction to be washed away. This was enough to delay the construction by two months. The Lee Moor team would return to work in the spring of 1927 to continue construction work. Once the steel truss sections were erected, final work began on pouring the concrete roadway, painting the steel trusses and installing guard rails. The new Gillespie Dam Bridge officially opened to traffic on August 1, 1927. Cars could now freely cross the Gila River without worrying about water conditions. The overall construction cost totaled $320,000.
Upon completion, the bridge became one of the longest highway structures in the state of Arizona and was at first the longest steel bridge as well. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 5, 1981. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, US 80 received many upgrades and modifications to its roadway including pavement. Despite constant modernization, the Gillespie Dam Bridge remained part of mainline US 80 until 1956, when a new alignment was built to the east. Today, this newer alignment is part of Arizona State Route 85, as the US 80 designation was removed from Maricopa County in 1977.
In 1993, a violent flood on the Gila River destroyed the Gillespie Dam. The surge of water also caused minor damage to the bridge by causing some of its support piers to settle. However, due to its strong steel truss design and the fact the concrete support piers were sunk into the bedrock, the bridge didn't collapse. The bridge's design is also the reason for its longevity. From 2011 to 2012, the Gillespie Dam Bridge underwent a $7,300,000 restoration by Maricopa County. The project included strengthening of the concrete piers and steel truss sections, as well as replacement of the roller bearings and construction of the Gillespie Dam Interpretive Plaza. The Gillespie Dam Bridge and Boulder Creek Bridge are the only surviving multiple span steel through truss bridges in Arizona. On September 21, 2018, the Gillespie Dam Bridge along with Old US 80 Highway were designated as part of Historic U.S. Route 80 by the Arizona Department of Transportation.

What is actually at issue here? I ask this once every day or two, and never get a clear answer. I do not believe that what is at issue is whether or how we should have a poll. What is at issue must be the basic level of ATT, and unless we can come to some sort of consensus on that, whether we exprress our lack of agreement on one page or three is a relatively minor question. To debate rules ndefinitely indicates a hidden agenda, and I urge those with a substantative position to say so directly.DGG
What do you mean by "substantive position"? Can you give an example?
== "This poll will run from 04/xx/07 00:00 UTC to 04/xx/07 00:00 UTC" ==
Have we not even decided on the length of the poll? If it is going to last for two weeks (as an example), we should instead state: "This poll will run from 04/xx/07 00:00 UTC to 04/xx+14/07 00:00 UTC". Otherwise a strict reading of it states it is going to last for no time at all! Mathmo Talk

Well, I'd suggested 7 days for duration for whenever it ran. The xx was just to put something up there that whoever launched the poll could fill in at the appointed hour. 7, 14, 21, whichever works. I think anything less than 7, should it go live... would be too short. - Denny
== Should we kill the poll? ==
To go over (repeat from yesterday) things as I see them:
There appears to be consensus for the primary merger of V and NOR on the Community discussion.
There is a split over RS on the Community discussion.
People feel they aren't being asked about how to arrange the pages
What if we:
Accept that V and NOR have consensus, and present that to Jimbo
Workshop RS and ATT/FAQ in a separate place
De-activate this, taking some form of the open-ended question back to the Community discussion; if we archive most of that page and announce as loudly "What arrangement do you prefer?" a poll will hopefully emerge from the ensuing discussion.
This isn't exactly what I would have liked; I still think an up-and-down question on the principle of ATT is needed, but for whatever reason people seem entrenched in opposing it. At the same time, "Should WP:V and WP:NOR have been merged at all?" comes close to the core question and we've had more than a week's worth of comment on it.
Alternatively, I suggest Radiant's idea: take ATT to MfD. Marskell
I don't think we should just kill the poll without an OK from Jimbo... since it was his request that we conduct one that got us here in the first place. If he approves alternate methods, then we can talk about what methods we want to use.
That said, we have to consider how the community will react if we don't run a poll. We have already told the community that a poll is going to take place... people are expecting it. I don't think we can just pull the rug out and say, "nevermind" after we told people that we were going to conduct it. Blueboar
Thus far, the one thing that SlimVirgin and I have agreed on is that this poll (no matter how it's worded) is a very bad idea (sorry, Jimbo). As Radiant noted, the fact that we can't even agree on its basic structure (and ended up conducting a debacle of a poll to determine that) illustrates this point.
So yes, Marskell, we should kill the poll. With fire. We need to tell Jimbo that it is isn't going to work (and cancel it with his consent). Jimbo is a reasonable person (who realizes that he sometimes makes mistakes), so I doubt that he would insist on extending this nightmare.
If (and only if) Jimbo explicitly tells us that we still need to hold the poll should we do so. Otherwise, let's end the madness and continue the real consensus-building. —David Levy
The problem is that now a poll has been announced and slapped across the top of everyone's userpages, that whatever the merits of now deciding NOT to have it, the perception is going to be that people's ability to have a say was restricted (not saying that's true just that's how it will come across. An expectation has been created, that expectation now has to be fulfilled.
No one is proposing that the community be silenced. We simply need to replace the wrong type of forum (a poll) with the right one (continued discussion). —David Levy
you miss my point - it's nothing to do with if the community is actually silenced or not - it's to do with the fact that a perception and an expectation has been created. It just looks bent - if th e poll just goes away.
It will look much worse when the poll is a huge disaster. There is no easy solution, but cleaning up this mess is vastly preferable to piling more garbage on top of it. I give the community enough credit to believe that it would understand and accept an honest explanation. —David Levy
Kill the poll? Count me in. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk)
On second thoughts, no. Let it happen. We all, including Jimbo, need to learn from the unintended consequences of our actions. It is called accountability. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk)
Haven't we already been punished enough? —David Levy
Maybe just make the entirety of the poll Q3? Basically, a huge RFC with no threaded replies on the thing itself. What do you think? - Denny
It's the "no threaded replies" part that's problematic. Consensus is built via discussion, not by having people file in, announce their opinions, and file out. —David Levy
Replies to sections go on Talk, not on the front page, for the simple fact of not making people's basic opinions completely unreadable/drowned out. Any threaded discussion can go on the Talk page. See the below section. - Denny
Didn't Jimbo request a broad community discussion first, followed by a poll (which could be construed, rationally, as eventually, since "polls are evil")? I do think that putting up this poll as an initial step in the process requested by Jimbo caused an extra layer of issues to deal with, and canning it temporarily might be more Wiki-like. I haven't even begun to weigh in on my views on ATT, partly because I was concerned that a biased and leading poll would go up—this divides the consensual discussion that is still needed. SandyGeorgia (Talk)
That broad discussion is being held at Attribution/Community discussion. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk)
Yes, kill this poll. And let's not have a poll on the issue. WAS 4.250
If theres going to be no poll, tell/get Jimbo on that, or MfD this all. - Denny
The problem with killing the poll is that most Wikipedians don't monitor this kind of thing, and don't have the energy to fight a few editors who are enthusiastic but very misguided. Some of us (most of us) figured we could rely on things like RS and V and didn't need to monitor them for people fucking up the policies to high hell. Normal consensus is usually good, but extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary consensus. Sensible small changes require a little consensus. Sensible radical changes require a larger consensus. Terrible radical changes really need everyone's attention. A lot (probably most) editors didn't realise this was happening until it was a fait accompli - we didn't have a chance to ask Uhm, why are you turning the cornerstones of Wikipedia into a pile of whale barf?. This doesn't enjoy the consensus it claims to because it affects everybody but only a few were actually party to it. WilyD
Wily, your concern would make sense if policy had been changed. It hasn't been changed.
On the larger concern of killing the poll after having announced it, I was suggesting in part that some of what the poll was intended to do has already happened on the Community discussion. We should build on that. Marskell
By taking clarity and straightforwardness and replacing it with a blurry mess you don't change policy, but you allow users to claim policy changes for whatever they want to argue. I mean, I recognise it's possible this will have no effect and this policy isn't the diaster it looks like. But if you watch how fast thing change you'll realise it's a significant time commitment to try and stop this bomb from going off. Lots of editors have come to A and said OMG WTF are you doing? Have you guys lost your mind?. I don't know. Maybe it's better this way - maybe it's better to know that the project is doomed and editing Wikipedia isn't worth my time. I had thought it was - maybe I was wrong. But I trust the community at large to see the forest for the trees, even if some editors are too close to do so. WilyD
I find WilyD's comments interesting ... my observation is that people hear about WP:ATT, and say "OMG WTF etc."... but once they actually read WP:ATT, and think about it, they tend to say... "Oh, I over reacted. This is actually very good"... at least that seems to be the reaction of most of the people who have commented at the community discussion (not all, by any means... but most). But getting back to the issue at hand... a big part of the concern about WP:ATT was the perception that ATT "changes policies without consensus". The whole point of this poll was to address that concern. We need to foster a new perception that, whatever happens to these policies, the result reflects consensus. To kill the poll would definitely not remove that concern nor foster a new perception. Blueboar
On first, yes. The blurry mess was the way V relied on RS to make it's points. Clarity and straightforwardness are what people have praised about ATT.
On killing the poll, I understand you completely Blue. It's just that, you know, it's been a damn waste of time for three days here. Perhaps we're on to something below. Marskell
If we want to kill the poll, mark this poll page , but who's for that? Septentrionalis PMAnderson
Pretty much, my first reaction was kind of like Huh? What's going on? Real puzzlement - why would people try to fix what wasn't broken? I tried to read through ATT but it's very difficult to make sense of - without already knowing V and OR, et cetera, I probably never would have made heads or tails of ATT.
But working on policy, especially monkeying with existing policy, is something most novice and intermediate editors are likely to shy away from. I looked over what had happened, saw Jimbo's comments and said Okay, this'll get fixed to become usable policy again. Not much need to say or do anything. I, and no doubt many other editors, doubt there's anything I (we) can do about it - it seems likely ATT will get pushed through, running roughshod over common sense. I have enough difficult tasks to do here as an editor without trying to take on impossible ones. A poll lets editors have a say without having to devote their complete time to trying to stop this - it's one thing to fuck up the policies - that I can let go. But when people say To hell with consensus or common sense, let's go for it I get all peeved off and have to speak up. WilyD
A few people, judging from this thread. Marskell
But certainly not the majority. - Denny
== Attribution/Poll/InsaneDennyIdea ==
Please see: Attribution/Poll/InsaneDennyIdea.
Basically turn it into a RfC on Attribution cum Poll. Replies to sections go on Talk, not on the front page, for the simple fact of not making people's basic opinions completely unreadable/drowned out. Any threaded discussion can go on the Talk page. Technically, still a poll, which is what Jimbo asked for. - Denny
But... we already have that here: Attribution/Community discussion. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk)
Hence the insane part. That was for people to debate it. Threaded discussion, right on the page. This would be a completely open-ended poll: What do you think of the merger? ArbCom style. Go. That sort of thing. Jimbo can then just look at that page, and it should be fairly obvious if the thing is supported or not (by having the threaded talk happen on Talk page). - Denny
Denny, we are achieving what needs to be achieved through discussion. The poll is dead for now. If a poll is needed we can have one when the need is manifest. WAS 4.250
Is the poll not running per you? I remind you again that sweeping statements of "I have decided" are rude/not helpful... If you want to kill the poll, MfD it, or ask people for concensus of that. Tell Jimbo that his requested poll is dead. Will you tell him? Or should I post to his talk page that "per WAS 4.25, your poll is dead"? - Denny
Aye, Aye! ≈ jossi ≈ (talk)
OK. Unilateral comments like WAS's are antagonizing. But if it's dead, let's MfD this. Who is willing to do it? - Denny
== If the poll is dead ==
Let's unprotect and MfD this. I have asked AzaToth to unprotect. Once done I will MfD this "per WAS" at this time, as the poll being 'dead', and will notify Jimbo. If anyone objects to my moving to 'kill' the poll as stated by some, please let me know. - Denny
Attribution/Poll - Denny
I do object. We anounced a poll... so we should have a poll. Part of the problem with the ATT merger is that some people in the community thought that it amounted to a sort of policy coup d'etat by a small group of editors. It does not matter if this fealing reflects what actually happened or not... it is a perception that is out there. Those with this perception will say that cancelling the promised poll is just more of the same. They will question whether it was canceled because the "clique" was afraid that it would show that the community did not like ATT. Thus, there will be no finality to anything. ATT will alwasy be in question, with some people claiming consensus and other claiming no consensus. No... we have to have a poll. We promised one. Blueboar
Post on the MfD then. Post all over. I'm a bit irked despite supporting ATT at the flagrant attempts to silence the wide-scale community in a poll despite Jimbo asking for it. I notice primarily older admins that work on policies heavily are overtly against the poll. AGF, but it has the appearance of their not wanting to yield the semblance of authority/power over policy to the unwashed masses. - Denny
Again, no one is attempting to silence the community. The point is that a holding poll is not the correct way for people's voices to be heard. By all means, let's announce the situation to the entire community and invite everyone to take part in a real discussion. Telling them to line up and cast ballots will accomplish nothing of value. —David Levy
OK, so if the poll is dead and we won't honor Jimbo's request, who supports NOT doing this poll? Let's hear you here. If you support it, lets here you hear. We need to get this out of the way: do we honor Jimbo's request, or not? If not, lets decide that first, and tell him if we're telling him "No". Otherwise, any other discussion/work is a waste of time if we're not allowing the poll to run as requested. - Denny
Please don't portray this as mutinous defiance of Jimbo's wishes. We don't have to tell him "no." If we politely explain to him that this isn't a good idea (assuming that we arrive at such a decision), I seriously doubt that he'll want to force it on the community. —David Levy
And just to be clear, it wasn't Jimbo's idea. Someone else proposed a poll, and he went along with it. A poll was not mandated. Broad community discussion was mandated. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ
===Proposal===
As per Elonka in the MfD: If we can't agree on wording, then let's just make it a simple one-question, "What is your opinion on the Wikipedia:Attribution situation?" and let each editor post their own opinion in a single bullet point. That should probably reveal a clear consensus on most of it, and then anything else that's still vague, we can run a separate poll with a more clearly-stated question.
Attribution/Poll/InsaneDennyIdea - Denny
Better than no Poll at all. Blueboar
This looks the best so far. Let's go with this. It addresses the request by Jimbo, and will yield useful data. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk)
"Useful data"? Most editors feel that there are two or three different questions here, and feel differently on what they are. The result will look like ATTCD, but with every comment in a new section. How are you planning to compile the data? Septentrionalis PMAnderson
No one said it would easy to compile. Someone will have to do it after. - Denny
If this happens with this version, would using a link like this one here that I linked help to cut down on edit conflicts? Especially by imploring all threaded talk to go on Talk instead of the front page? - Denny
If this can get us forward, good. 500 words is way too much. We don't need a two hundred mini-essays. Marskell
300, the Thermopylae of Wikipedia! - Denny
Just give it a day or two before crossposting all over the place again. El_C
OK. If everyone likes it we'll just put it on the Watchlist header. - Denny
Denny: Give it some time to make sure there are no strong objections. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk)
Of course. - Denny
Object as above. I can't state my opinion on this in a single bullet point; I doubt many people can. The result will be unblessed chaos. Septentrionalis PMAnderson
You object to having it be open like this? Or the suggested length? - Denny
I object to the open question by its lonesome. We already have an open discussion; and if that makes any consensus clear, what is it? I'm not convinced that there is even consensus on merging V and NOR at all; not enough editors have discussed it.
300 words should be adequate, and some people will go over it anyway. Septentrionalis PMAnderson
letting people say whats on their hearts and minds is the only thing we probably all won't fight over, since no one period had argued over the statement section that was already there. If they go over, they go over the 300, or 500, or whatever. It can't be enforced as a hard limit anyway, in reality. Just a nudge. :) - Denny
If it comes down to that or having no poll, I'm not sure which I'll choose. But it might be more useful to remind people of the Poll poll at the top of the page. Septentrionalis PMAnderson
300 is still way too much. It will be blessed chaos if we invite people to ramble. I think we should suggest bolding "vote-like" words to make it easier to assess afterwards. "I support the merger in its entirety because I believe..." Marskell
I am curious at to how this will look once we get responses... perhaps we could have a mock/up page and put some sample replies in? Blueboar
Whole bunch up now in both formats. I like using the native section function better; it's easier. - Denny
====Sections====
I think having everyone start an actual section for their statement is a bad idea. It will encourage long-windedness. As an example on length, read the intro to Microsoft. It's 285 words. There's absolutely no need for 300 or 500 words. Fifty to one hundred will be more than enough. Marskell
Take a look at the tests now. What do you recommend for a recommended length? - Denny
I ran a quick test of my own with longer (paragraph length) bullet pointed comments in one section... it looked kind of cluttered and hard to follow. I will try one with longer comments in the individual section format. Blueboar
(ec)I recommend exactly what we have now: Please keep your statement short and to the point. The problem with those tests Denny, is that each has a little edit tab that people are going to be tempted to use to create threads and clutter the page. This is an open end but it's still a poll. Comment, bold key words, move on. I don't see the need for sections. Marskell
The trick is just organization, then. Is there any way to give people a one click way to drop their statement in without doing sections? - Denny
Take a look at this version with no sections, compared to this version with the sections function. Without it, it will (I think) get muddled up from all sorts of formatting things people may do. Having sections lets people do whatever, mostly. And we don't need to police that for the arbitrary section break thing. It would be just easier for people to add stuff, too, with less edit conflicts. What do you all think? - Denny
I was just going to say that edit-conflicts might be a good argument to use sections, I think the mediawiki software is capable of merging simultaneous additions of sections.
I'm not sure... I see advantages and disavantages to each form of organization. I will mull on it more as I wend my way home from work (please don't tell my boss I was editing Wikipedia instead of working something he thinks is more "important") and if the rest of you have not already chosen a format, I will chime in with my view. I don't really care all that much one way or the other. I just wanted to see what they looked like.Blueboar
Should this go to a demo page, like the Six Options? Septentrionalis PMAnderson
I don't know—it's simple enough that the page itself can be a demo. On the sections, it's not the biggest issue obviously; whatever people think.
So were the others. Septentrionalis PMAnderson
One other thing: the examples should pose no real arguments beyond generic "good" and "bad". Marskell
I made the example statement completely neutral. - Denny
I see that Marskell has reverted. But I think we should have at least one example of more than a sentence. Septentrionalis PMAnderson
Do we need any example at all, can't one of you guys take the honour (?) of being the first to vote, and then the style will be apparent.
Ya, I think we can trust people to understand this without extensive examples. On the one hand I'm wondering if we're reinventing the ATT wheel here; on the other, I like the simplicity of what we're doing. It's hard to complain about what we have. Marskell
We have enough variety of opinions amoung those of us who have worked on the page... if we all add our "votes" prior to officially going live for the rest of the community, I think we can establish a style pattern for others to follow without it being "biased". Would this work or not?
== Our next step: Compare these designs in actual operation ==
We have had a lot of very useful discussion of our options in these several related pages, in my opinion. And we have at least seven very practical poll designs that would get our job done here. So maybe we are now at the stage of operational testing for these options to see which one proves most likely to get a good measure of the feelings of the community about ATT. That is, we have here a good sample of the Wikipedia editor community. And let's actually try out these at least seven options in practice and see which one gets us the best measure of the feelings of the community about ATT.
We will need a subdirectory Wikipedia:Attribution/Poll/Version001/ into which we would copy the files Option1Demo, Option2Demo, . . . one for each of the at least seven very practical poll designs we have so far.
Then, each of the least twenty editors here would take each of the polls and thereby test each of these designs by actually responding to each of the seven polls giving us empirical data on which design gives us the best measure of the feelings of the community.
We have done enough of the design work for now. Our next step should be to test these designs in practice to see which one actually gets the best measure of the feelings of the community about ATT. After we have tested these various designs in practice, then our next decision would be 1) shall we put that best design out to the wide Wikipedia community or 2) do we have to do some iterative corrective redesign and another round of testing of prototypes
Or not. We can wait 24 hrs for more comments on the very simple design that has been agreed on over the last six or so hours and take it from there.
Thanks though, for a good example of bad process creep. Marskell
Agree. That process is not useful. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk)
==remaining housekeeper work==
=== Semi-protection please! ===
Could an admin reading this reapply semi protection to the following? There is no need for IPs to contribute here, and Jimbo had semi'd the page originally. I think it came off when AzaToth unprotected for the earlier MfD. The following need semi:
Attribution/Poll
Attribution/Poll/header
Attribution/Poll (this page)
Thanks! - Denny
Why shouldn't IPs be able to contribute to this page? Picaroon
Decline, while still in the development phase. We can talk about it just before going live. Marskell
I don't see why any anon IP needs to be able to contribute to a debate about core content policies. SlimVirgin (talk)
Can we open the poll now, or are we waiting to do it after April 1st? ≈ jossi ≈ (talk)
If we can agree to pull it off for 4/1/07 or 4/2/07 I think it'd be awesome. Maybe wait to see if anyone really opposes it, and if no one does then go live 4/2/07 00:00? - Denny
If we're ready, I think we should open it now, assuming we're going ahead. We need to get this over with. Also, I hope we're not keeping it open for too long? SlimVirgin (talk)
I'd be the last person at this point to object to launching. ;) Lets go for a round number. 7 or 14 days? I vote 7 even. 00:00 to 00:00. - Denny
===Notifications===
Also, for when we do:
Posted it here, ready to copy/paste in: Watchdetails#ATT_poll_notification_template_-_for_when.2Fif_it_launches.
Day 1 (0-24 hours): that notice, as-is.
Days 2-7: Lose the graphic, add back in the "Dismiss" button.
If the poll goes longer than 7 days, I guess we can look at it then to see if the notice is worth keeping for the full duration. But a week would ensure that no one later can say they missed it, at all. - Denny
Seven days should, be aplenty. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk)
This image better for the first 24 hours?
Not sure. - Denny
===Extra stuff===
Slim, Jossi, if we're gonna do the semi on the main page, could one of you get both the header include and my QUESTION graphic too? - Denny
== Patience, thanks ==
thanks everyone for your patience, during this mess. Sorry if I seemed to get pushy in pushing for general forward movement at any point. Just wanted to say it before all the pre-poll Talk stuff went into archive hell (as they should when we launch to clean slate this). - Denny
Does anyone here really think there is consensus for this sudden and huge reversal of direction?
That would be why we asked and put it out as an idea above. - Denny
Also, FWIW, we have about 70 people that have touched this page. If they don't speak up to say, "Don't do this," well, then what? Don't do it based on their silence? - Denny
Rednblue, please don't POINT, thanks. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk)
I'm curious. So what operational definition for consensus are you using?
== Help fixing edit conflict? ==
I'm sorry to have caused this mess, but apparently I accidentally deleted a comment by user Avraham during an edit conflict here. also a comment by Radiant!, but apparently the latter user added that comment back in. The comment by Avraham is still not in, I believe: "# First version; at least there is a representative range of choices.
==The poll has died. A structured discussion lives.==
The poll has died. A structured discussion lives. Discussion is how wikipedia got to where it is. The current project page of this talk page is now a structured discussion. That is entirely appropriate and can be of great value. I am all for it. 4.250.132.238 (WAS 4.250)
Well, a restritcted format discussion. To keep it from going to useless anarchy all threaded talk is being forced to this talk page, that will be blanked/archived right before the polling goes live. - Denny
I've lost track. Some people are saying we should start the poll now; others that we should start it in two days; others that we are having no poll. Does anyone know what the majority position is? SlimVirgin (talk)
To be honest, I don't think any one single point has EVER had majority. That's why I've been working under the, "If no one screams when I poke the page this way, it must be ok to do so," mode of thought. If no one gives a meaningful reason to not launch at 4/2/07 00:00 I say go for it then. - Denny
Which ignores the fact that all sensible people have been screaming silently about it since it was first suggested. SlimVirgin (talk)
I really don't wanna start any more steam this late, but y'all should have spoken up. ;) Moving on, lets get it done. - Denny
I would say: start the poll, and let those that want to participate do so. We just need to be vigilant for April 1st, that's all. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk)
I say we should go ahead with the poll or structured discussion as of now for seven days. How do we open it? SlimVirgin (talk)
Take down the notice to not vote yet, edit the Watchlist header (and keep random people from undoing it!) and then cross-post like mad. - Denny
I say go for it. Crum375
Open for business. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk)
So, did I do that right? Or was I supposed to have a header? Picaroon
I think we'll have problems on Apr. 1, but if others are willing to clean up the mess, then whatever. I don't know what the rush is to do this now instead of in 2 days. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ

55,705,516 | is a Japanese linguist specialising in the English language and the head of the Hachisuka clan since 1953.
== Biography ==
Masako's father was Masauji Hachisuka and her mother was Chiye Nagamine. Her paternal grandparents were Masaaki Hachisuka and Fudeko Tokugawa. She is the great-granddaughter of Tokugawa Yoshinobu. Her aunt was Toshiko Hachisuka.
Hachisuka studied in the United States from 24 August 1950 to 1 October 1954. She was engaged to William Patterson, but her mother dissolved that marriage by filing a lawsuit claiming that she was of noble ancestry. Since she has no children, including adopted children, she is the last head of the Hachisuka clan.
In 2004, Hachisuka donated historical materials related to her clan to Tokushima. The donated materials were exhibited at the Tokushima Castle Museum.

29,434,211 | Zoël Amberg (born 25 September 1992 in Stans) is a professional racing driver from Switzerland.
==Career==
===Karting===
Amberg began karting in 2004 and raced primarily in his native Switzerland for the majority of his career, working his way up from the junior ranks to progress through to the KF3 and KF2 categories by 2008, when he became a works driver for the Birel Motorsport team.
===Formula Renault 2.0===
In 2009, Amberg graduated to single–seaters, racing in both the Italian Formula Renault 2.0 and Swiss Formula Renault 2.0 championships for Jenzer Motorsport. Two race victories at the final round of the season in Imola saw him finish fourth in the Italian series, whilst in the Swiss Formula Renault 2.0 championship he finished fifth overall after scoring points in all but one of the 12 races. During the year he also contested a single round of the Formula Renault 2.0 West European Cup at Barcelona.
Amberg remained in Swiss Formula Renault 2.0 for a second season in 2010, when the series became known as the Formula Renault 2.0 Middle European Championship. He won the title in dominant fashion, finishing on the podium in all ten races he competed in, winning six of them.
===Formula Abarth===
Also in 2010, Amberg contested a full season in the newly launched Formula Abarth series in Italy. He took a single victory at the opening round of the season in Misano and a further eight points–scoring positions to finish seventh in the championship.
===GP3 Series===
In October 2010, Amberg made his debut in a GP3 Series car, taking part in the two post–season tests at Estoril and Jerez with Jenzer Motorsport, and in March 2011 it was announced that he had signed to race for ATECH CRS GP in the 2011 season, joining British Formula Renault 2.0 graduates Marlon Stöckinger and Nick Yelloly. He failed to score a point in the sixteen races he entered, taking a best race result of tenth at the sprint race in Barcelona.
===Formula Three===
In October 2011, Amberg joined De Villota Motorsport to contest the final three rounds of the European F3 Open season. Despite only taking part in six races, he finished eighth in the championship, taking four podium positions including a win at the final round in Barcelona.
===Formula Renault 3.5 Series===
In October 2010, Amberg made his debut at the wheel of a Formula Renault 3.5 Series car, testing for new team BVM–Target at Motorland Aragón. After testing extensively for Pons Racing during the latter part of 2011, it was confirmed in December 2011 that Amberg had signed a two–year contract with the team, beginning with the 2012 season. He will be joined by Formula Three graduate Yann Cunha.

BLP article for Science Fiction author and the trilogy he is asserted to have written. The problem here is that while there are sources offered in the articles, there seem to be none online that actually mention the author or his works or the publisher. For example, there is no Amazon listing and there are no ISBNs issued. This would seem to go beyond just lack of notability.There are no mentions whatsoever online, barring the articles. Not even the most humble online fanzine seems to have heard of either the author or works. The publisher mentioned "Micellaneous Books" does not seem to exist either with that spelling or using the spelling "Miscellaneous". The sources offered don't have links and while of course that in itself is not a problem, it is hard to find any existing publication or award-giving body by the names given. There have been magazines called "Science Fiction Monthly" but none seem to be extant. The one non-Wikipedia webpage suggested by Google that seems to have once had "Eric Banner" and "The Martian-Earth Wars" on the same page is on a social-networking site which has been changed since Google indexed it; however, the Google summary does bring up a rather funny comment: "Search "The Martian-Earth Wars" on wikipedia.(Its complete bollocks. I just made it up for fun)." I quite agree. | 358,212,653 | 2010-04-25T14:40:47 | Articles for deletion/Eric Banner | 2,018 |

These fish include blue marlin, black marlin, striped marlin, swordfish, and sailfish. Other fish that can be caught include dorado, barracuda, tuna, and sharks.
As the player fights fish, there may be several events that occur that the player must respond to, such as a smoking reel or a marlin attempting to cut the line on the propeller. Other events are static, such as the fish biting off the line or the fish becoming exhausted. Each of these events changes the dynamics of the fight, such as changing how much line the fish has or how tired the fish is.
There are three attributes that the player can increase as they fight more and more fish. These are Muscle Power (ability to pull in heavier fish), Body Strength (ability to fight a fish longer and with more power), and Skill (ability to respond to events properly).
==Password system==
The Blue Marlin features a password system to save the player's progress. A password is generated at the end of every tournament round, and after the tournament is completed (with the player victorious). If the player uses this password to begin a new tournament, they can start over with all of their attributes from their previous game.
==Reception==
Allgame gave this video game a score of 4 stars out of 5 in their overview. Entertainment Weekly gave the game a C- and wrote that "NES' The Blue Marlin is a fishing game in which you sit for long stretches in front of the television set, reel in the occasional fish, then sit again for long stretches in front of the television set. As if this weren't deadly enough, while you're perched in your video dinghy you're treated to an incessant, looped soundtrack of Japanese pseudo-jazz nonsense, the apotheosis of every tonal cliché in the history of video-game music."

45,551 | Alghero (), also known as L'Alguer (; S'Alighèra; La Liéra), is a town of about 44,000 inhabitants in the Italian insular province of Sassari in northwestern Sardinia, next to the Mediterranean Sea. Part of its population descends from Catalan conquerors from the end of the Middle Ages, when Sardinia was part of the Crown of Aragon. Hence, the Catalan language is co-official (a unique situation in Italy) and known as the Alguerès dialect. The name Alghero comes from Aleguerium, which is a mediaeval Latin word meaning 'stagnation of algae' (Posidonia oceanica) .
Alghero is the third university center in the island, coming after Cagliari and Sassari. It hosts the headquarters of the Università degli Studi di Sassari’s Architecture and Design department. In 2012 it was the 10th most visited city by tourists in Italy.
== History ==
For ecclesiastical history, see Roman Catholic Diocese of Alghero-Bosa
The area of today's Alghero has been settled since pre-historic times. The Ozieri culture was present here in the 4th millennium BC (Necropolis of Anghelu Ruju), while the Nuraghe civilization settled in the area around 1,500 BC.
The Phoenicians had arrived by the 8th century BC and the metalworking town of Sant'Imbenia, with a mixed Phoenician and Nuragic population, engaged in trade with the Etruscans on the Italian mainland.
Due to its strategic position on the Mediterranean Sea, Alghero had been developed into a fortified port town by 1102, built by the Genoese Doria family. The Dorias ruled Alghero for centuries, apart from a brief period under the rule of Pisa between 1283–84. Alghero's population later grew because of the arrival of Catalan colonists. In the early 16th century Alghero received papal recognition as a bishopric and the status of King's City (ciutat de l'Alguer) and developed economically.
Historically, the city was founded in the early twelfth century between 1102 and 1112, when the noble Doria family of Genoa was allowed to build the first historical nucleus into an empty section of the coast of the parish of Nulauro in Judicature of Torres (Sassari).
For two centuries remained in the orbit of the Maritime Republics, first and foremost the Genoese apart from 1283-1284 when the Pisans were able to control it for a year. It is plausible that at this time the town shared, given its commercial and multi-ethnic nature, a language similar to the nascent Sassarese.
The village was conquered by force by the Crown of Aragon, at the behest of King Pere IV of Aragon (r. 1336-1387), who later actively promoted colonisation of the town and the surrounding area, sending numerous families from different counties and provinces of the then Crown of Aragon, including Valencia, Majorca, Catalonia and Aragon. These were granted enticing privileges, and in fact replaced the original population some of whom were sent to the Iberian Peninsula and Majorca as slaves. The dialects these families spoke in Alghero, were all very similar and derived from the same linguistic family. Over time it settled on its current form of Catalan, despite the subsequent decline of the Crown of Aragon. Alghero today is struggling to retain the use of Catalan, which is a linguistic island and only 10-15% of its inhabitants speak it in its Alghero variant. The language is recognized by both the Italian Republic and Sardinia as a minority language. Nowadays it is poorly spoken by young people. The city is trying for some time to protect this dialect, through education programmes and official use within the local authority. The citizens currently residing in Alghero however, are mostly from the surrounding territories and prefer either the Italian language or Sardinian and Sassarese. Alghero still maintains a small representation at the Generalitat de Catalunya (the autonomous government of Catalonia), without actually having any institutional power in the territory apart from providing assistance to the preservation of Catalan culture.
The city, one of the principal of Sardinia and the fifth most populated region, is one of the gateways to the Island thanks to the nearby airport. It is the capital of the Riviera del Corallo, whose name derives from the fact that its waters provide an abundant supply of precious red coral of the finest quality. Historically the processing and sale of the material has been of great importance to the economy and a branch of coral is inserted in the emblem of the city.
The Aragonese were followed by the Spanish Habsburgs, who ruled until 1702 and continued expanding the town.
In 1720 Alghero, along with the rest of Sardinia, was handed over to the Piedmont-based House of Savoy. In 1821 a famine led to a revolt by the population, which was bloodily suppressed. At the end of the same century Alghero was de-militarised.
During the Fascist era, part of the surrounding marshes were reclaimed and the suburbs of Fertilia and S.M. La Palma were founded. During World War II (1943) Alghero was bombed, and its historical centre suffered heavy damage. The presence of malaria in the countryside was finally overcome in the 1950s.
Since then, Alghero has become a popular tourist resort.
==Geography==
===Location===
Alghero is located in the northwestern coast of Sardinia, along the bay named after the city. In the north of the urban area there is the Nurra plain, to the NW the karstic systems of Capo Caccia, Punta Giglio and Monte Doglia. The south is built mainly by mountains and the plateaus of Villanova Monteleone and Bosa.
===Climate===
The climate at Alghero is mild due to the presence of the sea, which attenuates the temperatures especially during the summer. Summers are warm like in most part of the Mediterranean. Winters are also tempered, with the thermometers showing negative Celsius temperatures just a few days per year.
== Language and culture ==
A dialect of Catalan is spoken in Alghero, introduced when Catalans settled in the town. Catalan was replaced as the official language of the Island by Spanish in the 17th century, then by Italian. The most recent linguistic research showed that 24.1% of the people have Algherese Catalan as a mother tongue, which is habitually spoken by 18.5% and taught to the children by 8% of the population, whereas 88.2% have some understanding of the language. Since 1997 Catalan has had official recognition and national and regional laws grant its right to be used in the city. Currently, there has been a revival of the arts in Algherese Catalan, with singers such as Franca Masu performing original compositions in the language.
Following a rural exodus from the surrounding villages towards the city, much of the population speaks or has some proficiency in Sardinian, in addition to Italian and Catalan. Historically, the spread of Catalan was limited to the city and part of the coast, as the surrounding countryside has always been populated by Sardinian-speaking people.
Moreover, the ancient part of Alghero shows many characteristics of Catalan medieval architecture. The ‘algueresos’ (Alghero inhabitants) usually refer to their city as ‘Barceloneta’ – 'little Barcelona' – because of their ancestry and fraternity with the Catalan capital.
The cuisine is a blending of Catalan cuisine and Sardinian cuisine.
== Main sights==
The many historical dominances occurred in Alghero have created a rich variety of monuments, buildings and sights. Back from the Neolithic period from which many settlements remain, up to nowadays, in the last decades Alghero has become a touristic main point not only because of its coast and natural beauties but also because of a fairly well preserved patrimony.
===Archeological sites===
Several archeological sites out of the urban area: the Anghelu Ruju necropolis, the Santu Pedru hill, the Villa Romana of Santa Imbenia or even the Purissima. Many nuraghi in some other points as Palmavera are also well preserved and open to visit.
===Ramparts===
The first ramparts system looks back to the 13th century and was imported from the Genovese system. In 1354 the city was occupied by Catalans, who restored and expanded the defensive system, back then in bad condition. Some features from the old walls were respected, but Ferdinand the Catholic, who wanted to grant more protection to the city, built the majority of them in the 16th Century. Along the walls 7 towers and 3 forts are found.
===Religious architecture===
Alghero Cathedral (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Immacolata di Alghero) is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Alghero-Bosa (initially bishopric of Alghero). Construction started in 1570, and although it was opened in 1593, it was not until 1730 until it was finished and consecrated. The original church was in the Catalan-Gothic style, as can be seen in the five chapels of the presbytery, which also include the base of the bell tower. The nave and the two aisles are of late Renaissance style. In the 20th century a Neo-Classical narthex was added to the façade, radically altering its appearance.
The church of St. Francis (1360, rebuilt in the late 16th century). Original Catalan-Gothic parts can be seen over the high altar, the presbytery chapels and the San Sacramento Chapel. The bell tower is from the first half of the 16th century.
The church of St. Michael.
The Madonna del Santo Rosario.
===Others===
The Torre del Portal, built at the expense of the Jewish community in Alghero in 1360, and the Tower dell'Esperò Reial (16th century).
Palazzo D'Albis (16th century), a typical example of the Aragonese architecture of the 16th century. In October 1541 it housed the Emperor Charles V.
Neptune's Grotto, a large cave discovered in the 19th century.
Palazzo Carcassona
The coral of Alghero is known as among the finest in the Mediterranean and the world for the particular reputation of quantity, quality, compression and the ruby red color, much to remember one of the most important economic aspects of the territory, also called the Riviera del Corallo, and have in his coat of arms a branch of the precious red coral on a foundation of rock.
==Territory==
Another of Alghero features is its landscape. It has several beaches, bays and natural parks on the shoreline. Capo Caccia promontory and its lighthouse are landmarks.

== Transport and infrastructures ==

==Speedy deletion nomination of Taubman Institute==
A tag has been placed on Taubman Institute requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

I presume that the English language stole it from the Germans prior to the spelling reform; that means that "thalweg" is no more a misspelling than any of the numerous English words we got from the French before they changed THEIR spelling. Moreover, even if it had been mangled on the way over, the mangled English spelling would STILL be correct
For instance, the English word "sergeant" (stolen from the French) didn't somehow become misspelled when the French decided later that they wanted to spell it "sergent" instead.
Feel free to disagree, but I think a dialog at this stage might benefit people wishing to edit on this point. If I am misinterpreting the insertion of "misspelled" I would also like to know. 24.118.231.95
We'd better check the usage in modern publications before the article is renamed, but the spelling Talweg reflects the correct pronounciation and thus makes more sense.
==another meaning?==
I linked this on Pemberton Pass because I've heard that pass described as a thalweg' but the definitions I see here don't quite fit with waht I thought it meant, i.e. as a physiographic "shape"; not thte line of a valley bottom, but a deep "valley-way" through the mountains; "a valley that is/forms a road/route", I think usually in terms of a sequence of two or more drainages (as is the case at Pemberton Pass); the Rocky Mountain Trench perhaps might qualify, but Eagle Pass definitely fits the same mold. Anyway I'm sorry I don't have a citation for this, I'm surprised it's not in OED, which is hteo nly link here; I'll keep my eyes open. I'll also dig up a representative picture or sample topo map for Pemberton Pass as maybe there's a beter term to describe the valley's shape/style/type....Skookum1 (talk)
== Deleted pronounciation ==
The (correct) pronounciation is given in IPA nomenclature already, and with German as my mother tongue I have a hard time seeing how "Talweg is pronounced in German as talvay . Weg in German is pronounced vay" (inserted by an IP address from Connecticut) could be understood in any way to give the right information. Seattle Jörg (talk)
== "instream", "esteem" ==
This sentence
In concurrence with the placement of boulders along a thalweg, the placement of boulders along an instream to form man-made sills also helps to slow the sedimentary erosion and deposit of running water sources, while keeping the esteem (fishing, local wildlife, and recreation) and natural resources of the running water source intact.
uses "instream" as a noun, but there's no support or definition for that in the article that it links to. And this use of "esteem" is totally unclear.

27,094,842 | The Union Block is a historic business building on Public Square in downtown Lima, Ohio, United States. Built in 1878, it is a three-story brick building with a modified rectangular floor plan and a sloping roofline.
From Lima's earliest years, the Union Block's site on the southeastern corner of today's Public Square was a leading commercial site. Preceding it was Lima's first hotel, built by the second white man to settle in Lima. The Union Block was constructed during a booming period in Lima's history. As the influence of railroading in Lima expanded during the 1870s, the city itself grew significantly; the Union Block was one of several major commercial buildings erected on Public Square during this period.
The block's architecture is an example of a commercial variant of the Victorian style. Among its most prominent exterior details are ornate lintels and stone trim, while the interior features iron posts on the first floor and a staircase of cast iron. Each bay features a cluster of windows, most of which are composed of two or three windows.
In 1982, the Union Block was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its well-preserved architecture. Sixteen other Lima buildings were listed on the National Register at the same time; all were part of the Lima Multiple Resource Area, a collection of architecturally-significant buildings in and around the city's downtown. Two other buildings on Public Square were included in this collection: the Neal Clothing Building, completed before the Civil War, and the early 20th-century First National Bank and Trust Building.
