Ghiaurov monument in Velingrad Ghiaurov was born in the small mountain town of Velingrad in southern Bulgaria. As a child, he learned to play the violin, piano and clarinet. He began his musical studies at the Bulgarian State Conservatory in 1949. From 1950 until 1955, he studied at the Moscow Conservatory.

Ghiaurov's career was launched in 1955, when he won the Grand Prix at the International Vocal Competition in Paris and the First Prize and a gold medal at the Fifth World Youth Festival in Prague. Ghiaurov made his operatic debut in 1955 as Don Basilio in Rossini's The Barber of Seville in Sofia. He made his Italian operatic debut in 1957 in Teatro Comunale Bologna, before starting an international career with his rendition of Varlaam in the opera Boris Godunov at La Scala in 1959. 1962 marked Ghiaurov's Covent Garden debut as Padre Guardiano in Verdi's La forza del destino as well as his first appearance in Salzburg in Verdi's Requiem, conducted by Herbert von Karajan.[3]

Ghiaurov first shared a stage with Mirella Freni in 1961 in Genoa. She was Marguerite, he was Mephistopheles in Faust. Married in 1978, they lived in her hometown, Modena. They sang together frequently.

He made his US debut in Gounod's Faust in 1963 at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, and he went on to sing twelve roles with the company, including the title roles in Boris Godunov, Don Quichotte, and Mefistofele.

Ghiaurov made his Metropolitan Opera debut on 8 November 1965 as Mefistofele.[4] He sang a total of 81 performances in ten roles there, last appearing there on October 26, 1996, as Sparafucile in Rigoletto. During the course of his career, he also performed at Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre, the Vienna State Opera, Covent Garden, and Paris Opéra.

In the late 1970s Ghiaurov sang the title role in the first complete stereo recording of Massenet's opera Don Quichotte. He was recorded frequently, and his discography includes complete recordings of many of his great stage roles, including Don Giovanni, Don Basilio, Ramfis, Colline, Banco, Gounod's and Boito's Mephistos and Boris Godunov, among many others.

In October 2000, at the age of 71, he gave an acclaimed performance at the 1st Herbert von Karajan Memorial concert under the baton of James Allen Gähres in Ulm, where he sang opera arias and duets by Cilea, Tchaikovsky and Verdi, together with Mirella Freni.[5]

In Ghiaurov's obituary in Opera News, Martin Bernheimer remarked: "He commanded a remarkable vocal instrument, strikingly generous in size, warm in timbre, dark in color. He rolled out the resonant tone at his command with generosity, and with special ease at the burnished top."

Honour Ghiaurov Peak on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica is named after Nicolai Ghiaurov.

KHQA-TV

KHQA-TV (channel 7) is a television station licensed to Hannibal, Missouri, United States, serving the Quincy, Illinois–Hannibal, Missouri–Keokuk, Iowa market as an affiliate of CBS and ABC. The station is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, and maintains studios on South 36th Street in Quincy; its transmitter is located northeast of the city on Cannonball Road near I-172.

History
KHQA went on-the-air September 23, 1953. The station was originally owned by Lee Enterprises of Davenport, Iowa, along with the Hannibal Courier-Post and WTAD radio (AM 930 and FM 99.5, now WCOY). Despite the common ownership, Lee was unable to use the WTAD-TV calls because Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules of the time did not allow stations to share common base callsigns if they were licensed in different cities. While licensed to Hannibal (hence accounting for the "H" in its callsign, as well as its callsign beginning with a "K"), its studios have long been located across the Mississippi River in Quincy; the station signed on after the FCC allowed a station to base its main studio outside its city of license.

Channel 7 received its DuMont transmitters on July 27, 1953. They arrived on the same truck as the transmitters for future rival WGEM-TV (channel 10). The two stations' crews raced to be the first television station in the Tri-State. Ultimately, WGEM-TV won the race, signing on September 4, more than two weeks before channel 7.

KHQA has always been a primary CBS affiliate, although it had a secondary affiliation with DuMont between 1953 and 1956. The station shared a secondary ABC affiliation with WGEM-TV in the 1960s. KHQA also aired a number of UPN programs during late-night hours between 1995 and 2006. Lee sold the Courier-Post in 1969, but held onto its Quincy broadcasting cluster until December 1986 when the company sold KHQA to A. Richard Benedek, whose television holdings eventually became Benedek Broadcasting. The radio stations were sold to Eastern Broadcasting. At the time of the sale, KHQA was the smallest station in Lee's TV portfolio.

Benedek declared bankruptcy and sold most of its stations to Gray Television in 2002, but KHQA was sold to Chelsey Broadcasting; Gray would ultimately acquire Quincy Media, parent company of WGEM AM–FM–TV, in 2021. KHQA, WHOI in Peoria, and WEYI-TV in Saginaw, Michigan, became the first three stations owned by the newly formed Barrington Broadcasting in April 2004. In early 1998, KHQA left its longtime home in the Western Catholic Union building in downtown Quincy. The station moved into a new state-of-the-art facility located on South 36th Street. On August 28, 2007, KHQA announced that a new second digital subchannel would begin carrying ABC for the Tri-States, replacing sister station KTVO (which had been ABC's affiliate of record in the Quincy market). This was launched on September 30.

On February 28, 2013, Barrington announced that it would exit from broadcasting and sell off its entire group, including KHQA-TV, to Sinclair Broadcast Group. The sale was completed on November 25.

On February 26, 2020, it was revealed that KHQA would undergo the same transition as Sinclair sister stations WNWO-TV in Toledo, Ohio, and WOLF-TV in Scranton, Pennsylvania, having their newscasts hubbed by another station. News management, production, and anchors would be moved to WICD in Champaign, Illinois. Weather and some reporters would be allowed to stay local, with an unspecified number of other employees allowed to move to Champaign. These changes went into effect later in the year.

Subchannels
The station's signal is multiplexed:

Before KHQA-DT2 started, sister station KTVO in Kirksville, Missouri had served as the default analog ABC affiliate for the area. KTVO launched a CBS-affiliated second digital subchannel on May 15, 2010 effectively marking the network's return to that station after a 36-year absence. KHQA-DT1 was eventually upgraded from 720p into 1080i.

Analog-to-digital conversion
KHQA-TV shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 7, on June 12, 2009, the official date on which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 29 to VHF channel 7.

Puerto Pollensa (song)

"Puerto Pollensa" is a song written by Argentine singer-songwriter and actress Marilina Ross, first recorded and popularized by singer Sandra Mihanovich, who released it as a single in 1981 and later included it in her album of the same name, released in June 1982 on MICSA, a subsidiary of label Microfón. The lyrics of the song are autobiographical and tell a love affair that Marilina Ross had on the beaches of Puerto Pollensa, a town north of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands.

The ban on music in English imposed by the dictatorship during the Falklands War in 1982 greatly benefited the careers of Argentine popular musicians, among them Mihanovich and Ross. "Puerto Pollensa" received a lot of radio airplay and was a commercial success, reaching number one on Cashbox's Argentine single's chart in July 1982. This context also allowed Ross to sign a record deal with Discos CBS and release the album Soles that year, which included her own rendition of "Puerto Pollensa". Nevertheless, the dictatorship still prevented her from promoting the album on television or on public radio.

"Puerto Pollensa" is regarded as a quintessential gay anthem in Argentina and an icon of 1980s lesbian culture.

Background
Marilina Ross began her career as an actress in the 1960s and by 1975 was at her peak of popularity, thanks to her roles in Lautaro Murúa's acclaimed film La Raulito and the Alberto Migré-penned telenovela Piel naranja. The year before, she had made her debut as a recording artist with the album Estados de ánimo, fulfilling the "dream of her life". In 1976, a coup d'état installed the last civil-military dictatorship in Argentina, inaugurating a period of state terrorism known as the Dirty War. Due to her Peronist activism, Ross received death threats and was prohibited from continuing to work, so she had to leave the country at the height of her career. She went into exile in Spain, where she had several job offers due to the box office success of La Raulito. The estrangement from her loved ones and her country was very distressing for Ross, who defined the time in exile as the worst stage of her life.

In July 1980, Ross' friend and fellow actor Luis Politti died, who was also exiled in Madrid. According to her, he died of sadness, and she felt that she would be the next to die if she did not return to Argentina. Ross composed "Puerto Pollensa" just before returning to her home country, referring to a love affair she had in the town of the same name located north of Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands. She recorded it with her guitar on a cassette tape and gave it to her significant other, intended to be a personal gift and a "snapshot" of the moment they lived together. The recipient of the song is rumored to be the feminist writer Susana Torres Molina. Ross has said that the new love she found in Puerto Pollensa made her "climb out of the hole", and led her to return to Argentina, despite the fact that the dictatorship that had threatened her was still in power.

Ross and singer Sandra Mihanovich met in late 1980 through their mutual friend Alejandro Doria, who invited the latter to a party at Emilio Alfaro's house to welcome Ross back to the country. Ross and Alfaro had divorced years ago, but they were still friends and he hosted her as soon as she returned from exile. During the gathering, she performed the recently written "Puerto Pollensa" on her guitar for the guests and, upon hearing it, Mihanovich immediately asked her permission to record it. Ross initially flatly refused, as it was an intimate gift she had never thought to release, but agreed when she insisted. Ross told Página/12 in 2013: "The Sandra thing was key. And I was not even completely convinced by the song. I said: 'Oh, that chorus... how square it is!' I changed it, put other music on it, turned it over. It seemed to me that the music was very obvious, low quality, no? In the end it beat me, I couldn't change it and I left it as it was." Mihanovich was part of a new wave of musical acts that performed in a circuit of small bars centered in Buenos Aires, including Celeste Carballo, Horacio Fontova, Alejandro Lerner, La Torre and Rubén Rada. Since 1980, Mihanovich was a house act in Shams, a tea house turned pub in Belgrano that became an iconic venue of the 1980s.

Composition
"Puerto Pollensa" is a love song that tells the story of two people that overcome the fear that prevented them from being together.

Although never explicitly, the lyrics subtly refer to a romantic encounter between two women, with some of the clues including the lyrics "Me nació este amor, sin que me diera cuenta yo/Tal vez el miedo no dejó que apareciera" (English: "This love was born without me realizing it/Maybe fear didn't let it appear") and the metaphor of a "seed that cannot see the light" (Spanish: "una semilla que no puede ver la luz"). What is commonly interpreted as the confirmation comes at the end of the song, with the oft-cited lyrics: "Y sin dormir nos fuimos a la playa y nos besamos descaradamente/Alucinando al gordito de gafas que fue corriendo a cambiarse los lentes" (English: "And without sleep we went to the beach and shamelessly kissed each other/Astounding the chubby guy that ran to change his glasses").

Ross has said that the lyrics in part refer to how she felt when assuming her sexual orientation, with lyrics that speak of "fear" and "panic", as well as the need to leave that behind. She explained: "At that time I was very consubstantial with the internal change. I thought the revolution had to go through your own head."

Release and reception
"Puerto Pollensa" was first released as a 7-inch single by Sandra Mihanovich in late 1981 on MICSA, a subsidiary of label Microfón, along with the Alejandro Lerner-penned song "Simple" as its B-side. To avoid censorship, Marilina Ross was credited under her legal name María Celina Parrondo. "Puerto Pollensa" was included as the title track of Mihanovich's second studio album, released in June 1982.

The outbreak of the Falklands War on April 2, 1982 led the military government to ban music in English on radio stations, which made local Spanish-language music, especially the previously censored Argentine rock (known locally as rock nacional), expand to unprecedented limits. Mihanovich is said to have been "at the right time with the right record", releasing the album a week before the war ended.

"Puerto Pollensa" was a commercial success. In July 1982, it topped the Argentine singles chart reported by Prensario for Cashbox magazine. The Puerto Pollensa album had a lot of airplay on Argentine radio during 1982 and at the end of that year Mihanovich gave two massive concerts at the iconic Estadio Obras Sanitarias, becoming the first woman to perform in the venue known as "the cathedral of national rock".

Mihanovich has included live versions of the song on various albums, including Sandra en Shams (1985), Sandra en vivo (1998), and Creciendo: En vivo en el Ópera (2007).

Marilina Ross version
The success of Ross' live performances, as well as the good reception of Mihanovich's version of "Puerto Pollensa", were attractive to record companies eager for new materials. The outbreak of war and consequent ban on music in English also fueled her musical career, allowing her to get a record deal. She recalled in 2011: "The Falklands War came, music was banned in English, and there I went from being prohibited to having three record labels vying for my presence. So I finally could choose between three labels to be able to record my songs! Thanks to a war, how terrible."

Her studio album Soles was released in November 1982 on Discos CBS and included her own version of "Puerto Pollensa", considered one of the highlights of the record. The album was produced by the songwriting duo Piero-José, formed by musicians Piero de Benedictis and José Tcherkaski. Ross presented Soles with three concerts held on November 26, 27 and 28 at the Teatro Odeón, a show in which she combined music with monologues, jointly written with Susana Torres Molina. Since the name Marilina Ross was technically still banned, the songs could only be played on private radio stations—Continental, Rivadavia or del Plata—and she was prevented from promoting Soles on television. To promote Soles, Discos CBS released "Puerto Pollensa" as a promotional single in Spain in 1984, with "Como mis padres" as its B-side.

Legacy
Considered the first Argentine popular song to thematize love between women, "Puerto Pollensa" became an enduring gay anthem, especially among the lesbian community, released at a time when the secrecy of non-heterosexual relationships was a source of shared codes and interpretations of cultural products. Journalist and activist Marta Dillon wrote in 2010 that "thirty years later lesbians of all ages continue singing the entire lyrics by heart".

The song had an important role in the process of visibility of homosexuality that took place in Argentina after the return to democratic rule in 1983.

Mihanovich has said that the song "served to make women love each other more".

Advertisements in the 1990s activist periodical La Hora Lésbica show the existence of lesbian bars named after the song in Buenos Aires.

Despite becoming icons of the burgeoning gay culture of 1980s Argentina, both Mihanovich and Ross refused to speak publicly about their non-heterosexuality for decades, although this was considered an open secret.

Nevertheless, Mihanovich has said on several occasions that she does not consider herself an LGBT activist. She told La Capital in 2019: "I have had the fortune to say what I thought, what I felt, I had the consistent attitude for many years, like more or less everything I could say I could do, I have not been a great activist, I do not feel like an activist. I do feel that I was choosing songs and saying things that I felt and that this coincided with the feelings of many others. So I opened doors for me and opened doors for others as well. What more can one ask for."

"Puerto Pollensa" is regarded as a classic. The Argentine edition of Rolling Stone and MTV ranked the song 83rd on their 2002 list of the "100 Hits of Argentine Rock".

In 2019, Chilean musician Javiera Mena mentioned Sandra Mihanovich and the song "Puerto Pollensa" when asked about her "lesbian role models in music".

Usage in media and cover versions
"Puerto Pollensa" was featured in the 2002 hit television series Los simuladores as a favorite song of Martín Seefeld, a main character played by Gabriel David Medina.

Italian singer Iva Zanicchi covered "Puerto Pollensa" and included it as the closing track of her 1982 Spanish-language album Yo, por amarte. It was also recorded under the title "Renació este amor" by Puerto Rican singer Sophy in 1983, as part of her album Compárame. In 2017, the Argentine duo Ibiza Pareo released a cover version of the song.

Misleading text
The article currently says

 * Buchla created the Buchla Series 500, the first digitally controlled analog synthesizer, in 1971. Shortly after, the Buchla Series 300 was released, which combined the Series 200 with microprocessors. The Music Easel, a small, portable, all-in-one synthesizer was released in 1972.

Unfortunately, this implies that the 300 came somewhere in the 1971-1972 range, which is far from correct. The 300 was sold specifically as an S-100 bus microcomputer with interfaces for controlling 200-series modules, and as the S-100 bus article explains, the antecedent Altair bus wasn't used by third parties until 1975 and the "S-100" name wasn't coined until late 1976.

And the Series 500, while technically capable of "digital control," was really designed for what we'd call "discrete control" these days, with limited support for configuration, timing, and start/stop signals, not the kind of computer-driven synthesis that the 300/200 combination delivered. If you look at it, you'll see that all the synthesis in the 500 is still traditional analog in nature.

I'd be really happy if a subject-matter expert with access to original documents, etc. would take this article under his or her wing and improve this text. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:27, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

User:Gmanius

Good time-of-day to you, fellow wikian. I'm Gareth.

I've joined the wikiworld to contribute to the school of economics. I earned a Batchelor of Commerce and Administration with economics and public policy majors from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. However I continue to work in the fast moving consumer goods market (also known as supermarkets!) and am three quarters through a National Diploma of Small Business Administration. Until I change career, it looks like this will be the best way to keep my skills at least somewhat fresh.

As a completely new user I'm bound to screw at least a few things up. Please be nice to me and I promise to learn... fast!

Talk:Death squads in El Salvador

Requested move 23 September 2020

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Right-wing paramilitarism in El Salvador → Death squads in El Salvador – These are far more commonly referred to as "death squads". Very few sources use the specific phrase "right-wing paramilitarism", but hundreds of books, including many that are currently in the references column, call them "death squads".

 * Oppose. Titling these groups as "death squads" seems to go against WP:NPOV. We shouldn't be picking sides in conflicts such as this. Rreagan007 (talk) 16:28, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * What makes death squads a POV term? It is defined in reliable sources as "Death squads are clandestine and usually irregular organizations, often paramilitary in nature, which carry out extrajudicial executions and other violent acts (torture, rape, arson, bombing, etc.) against clearly defined individuals or groups of people. Murder is their primary or even sole activity." Seems to fit the phenomena described in this article. (t · c)  buidhe  02:00, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Typography

Introduction
Broadly typography consists of the choice and application of: Typography can be broadly divided into:
 * /Fonts/, the software used to generate typefaces.
 * /Typefaces/, their style size and weight.
 * /Spacing/ of these letterforms, in words, paragraphs and lines.
 * /Arrangement/ of these blocks of information appropriately for the media on which they are to be distributed and read.
 * Display typography which aims to communicate visually as well as literally. It is often allusive and evocative in its visual form as well as the strict meaning of the language used. The history and associations of particular letterforms are carefully chosen to reinforce the message. Letter forms can be considered to be comparable to different ‘tones of voice’ or the full range of dramatic forms of speech.
 * Examples include: Advertising Hoardings, Posters, Book Jackets.
 * Text typography is primarily for continuous reading. It aims to unobtrusively convey the intentions of the author with as little informational ‘noise’ as possible. Letterforms or typefaces for continuous reading tend to be relatively conservative and displayed in a range of layout conventions appropriate to their use, to aid readability. There is often a complex hierarchy of information design to ensure that the relative importance of elements and optimal flow of information is implicit in the design.
 * Examples include: Book and magazine design. Fiction and non-fiction texts.
 * Website design is currently an interesting mixture of the two approaches, with the addition of new means of user interaction and animation.
 * Typography also includes the highly specialised field of type design but excludes the autographic craft traditions of lettering and calligraphy which are usually not considered part of this discipline unless they result in a full font or reusable typeface.

Suggested Readings
Some suggested current readings would include:
 * HELLER, Steven [2004] The Education of a Typographer, Allworth Press
 * LUPTON, Ellen [2004] Thinking with Type, Princeton
 * BAINES, Phil & HASLAM Andrew [2002] Type & Typography, Laurence King
 * JURY, David [2004] About Face

Sample Classes
Some seminal classics include:
 * MORISON, Stanley[] First Principles of Typography, Cambridge UP
 * SIMON, Oliver[] An Introduction to Typography, Faber
 * BRINGHURST, Robert [1992] the Elements of Typographic Style, Hartley & Marks
 * TRACY, Walter [1986] Letters of Credit, Gordon Fraser
 * TSCHICHOLD, Jan [] The New Typography
 * TSCHICHOLD, Jan [] Asymetric Typography, Faber
 * TSCHICHOLD, Jan [] The Form of the Book, Lund Humphries

Talk:Microeconomics/Indifference Curves and Budget Lines

I understand the contents of this page all right, but I'm a graduate of economics... I've tried to simplify the material for starting students but retain the awesome technical detail. Gmanius 06:31, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

There are some suggestions I want to make. First, I think it is very hard to understand concept of indifference curves and budget lines without graph, visual would be a good help there and I wish there is a tool to make graph on this editing page ( If there is please let me know). Secondly, should mathematical equation be put into this page to make it easier for people to understand the concept of IC and Budget line? I'm only doing undergraduate degree in economic and have limited knowledge about vector but I think equation like y=m1p1 + m2p2 should make it easier for people to understand or maybe put Cobb-Douglas utility function in. singhapan

Portuguese/Contents/Possessive Pronouns and adjectives

Gender
The gender in these words is of the object possessed, not the possessor (as in English). For example

Confusion
Unfortunately, confusion can arise with the forms seu, sua, seus and suas. This is because they can mean his, her, your and their. We therefore use the following forms frequently.

Note: The gender of these words refers, unlike the words above, to the possessor, not the object(s) possessed.

Puzzles/Easy Sequence 3/Solution

a). The ascending powers of 2 are added to the previous number.

We start with 1 and add 2^0 to get 2, then add 2^2 (4) to get 6, plus 2^3 (8) equals 14, + 2^4=30, + 2^5=62

1, 2, 4, 6, 14, 30, . ..

b). The sequence in question is 1, 2, 6, 14, ... (without the 4). We can describe this sequence as follows:         X(1):= 1           X(2):= 2           X(n)= 2*[X(n-2) + X(n-1)] - 2*(n-3)  (for n > 2)

User:Alphius/List of adult animated television series

This is a list of adult animated television series (including web television series); that is, animated programs originally targeted towards audiences aged 13 and over in mind.

Mature animation is comparatively rare in North America and Europe, as animated series are culturally expected to be created for children. This list does not include Japanese, Chinese, or Korean series, as mature animation is much more common in these regions.

WELCOME TO K H SCIENZA

I am immensely glad to invite you all here ,

Though science and innovation is moving advanced and in a fast moving world. Science is a systematic enterprise that builds knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.

Science is not a subject it is the mean to understand its concepts and its outcomes. Science is based on research, which is commonly conducted in academic and research institutions as well as in government agencies and companies.

Technology is the sum of techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation. Technology can be the knowledge of techniques, processes, and the like, or it can be embedded in machines to allow for operation without detailed knowledge of their workings. Systems applying technology by taking an input, changing it according to the system's use, and then producing an outcome are referred to as technology systems or technological systems.

Technology has helped more develop and more advanced economies (including global economy) and has allowed the rise of a leisure class. Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products known as pollution and deplete natural resources to the detriment of Earth's environment. Innovations have always influenced the values of a society and raised new questions in the ethics of technology.

Actually this K H SCIENZA is the YouTube channel which was developed on 17th May 2020. The purpose of creating this YouTube channel is to make some interest on science to those people who see my YouTube channel. In my channel am posting some science projects and tech videos which will be useful for others who see my channel.

The science projects which am posting will/may be useful for students / my college students and some other colleagues also. I am too interested in doing such projects and its my hobby too. If this channel hits more subscribers and everyone is interested in my videos please contact me personally nor tell in comment session so am damn sure i will post the videos that you asked me.

A project is an individual or collaborative enterprise that is carefully planned and researched about by students. At schools, educational institutes and universities, a project is a research assignment - given to a student.

which generally requires a larger amount of potential and effort and more independent work than that involved in a normal essay assignment. It requires students to undertake their own fact-finding and analysis, either from library/internet research or from gathering data empirically.

THANKYOU

Tripsta S.A.

Tripsta S.A. is the parent company of tripsta, airtickets and travelplanet24, online travel agencies that provide transportation services—including airlines, ferry and train - through their websites.

Tripsta S.A. operates in over 45 countries and territories and in over 34 languages.

History
Tripsta S.A. was founded in 2005, originally under the brand name travelplanet24, by Philipp Brinkmann (CEO) and Kristof Keim (CCO) in Athens, Greece. In 2010, Tripsta S.A. was formed in response to European expansion.

By 2010, Tripsta S.A. entered its first foreign market (Poland) and by 2015 expanded to forty-five additional markets.

In 2014, the company received 3.5 million EUR in funding for growth from the European Investment Fund.

As of 2017, the company serves over one million customers and has gross bookings exceeding .5bn EUR.

Tripsta S.A. maintains its headquarters in Athens, Greece and has a remote office in Bucharest, Romania.

Suspension of operations
Tripsta S.A. suspended operations, in particular issuance of new travel tickets in June 2018 due to a failure of its new business plan and subsequent inability to repay debts of up to 70 million euros to IATA and its members. As a result of this airtickets.gr converted its operation into a metasearch engine and travelplanet24 was restricted into selling solely ferry tickets. Additionally it aimed to close down their office in Romania affecting around 100 employees. Tripsta blamed partner Travelport for this outcome and initiated legal actions against it, with Travelport denying the accusations. Airtickets.gr founder Dimitris Kontogeorgos publicly blamed Tripsta for failing to protect the reputation of airtickets.gr, as he claimed that Tripsta allowed its financial problems to be linked to airtickets.gr.

Brands

 * Travelplanet24 (Operates solely in the Greek market)
 * airtickets (Operates in 17 counties)
 * NL Group (Operates in 4 counties)
 * Tripsta (Operates in 46 counties)

Acquisitions
In March 2015, Tripsta S.A. acquired and integrated its competitor airtickets®. The acquisition made Tripsta S.A. the largest ecommerce company in the country. It also consolidated the technology and customer base of the two companies, presenting a wide-reaching transportation offer.

Consuelo Araújo

Consuelo Inés Araújo Noguera (1 August 1940 – 30 September 2001), also known as "La Cacica", was a Colombian politician, writer and self-taught journalist. Her nickname was given by a fellow journalist colleague for her tenacity and determination to achieve goals and leadership.

Her most notable achievement was the creation of one of the most important cultural and musical events of Colombia, the Vallenato Legend Festival, which promoted her beloved Vallenato music.

She was kidnapped by the FARC on 24 September 2001 on the outskirts of Valledupar and was killed six days later by this guerrilla group to prevent her from being rescued by the Colombian Army on 30 September 2001 during a heavy military operation.

Early life
She was the youngest of nine siblings. Her father, Santander Araújo, was a respected politician, militant and regional leader of the Liberal Party around Valledupar, whose firm character largely influenced his daughter.

She went to a government public nursery school and subsequently attended Escuela Tercera para Niñas. She then transferred to the Colegio Nariño Middle School and later to the Nuestra Señora del Carmen. She attended high school at the Colegio de la Sagrada Familia.

At the age of fifteen, she dropped out of high school and started to work as a bank teller to help pay for the schooling of three of her older brothers. During this period she also spent her spare time reading and self-educating.

Journalist, writer and politician
Largely self-educated, she was committed to becoming a freelance journalist and writer. She started as a writer for a national newspaper El Espectador, also writing a column called "La Carta Vallenata" (The Vallenata letter), published for 22 years in the same newspaper. She also collaborated with RCN Radio and RCN TV networks, and El Heraldo, a Barranquilla newspaper between 1988 and 1989. Between 1984 and 1985 she worked as a reporter in Valledupar for the Noticiero del Medio Día, a national news show. She also worked as a radio host for her own show La Cacica Contesta on Radio Guatapuri, a radio station in Valledupar owned by her family.

Always a defender of the unprotected and poor, she was a harsh critic of local governments' and politicians' abuses of power and advocated women empowerment, but most of all she was devoted to the local customs and culture of Valledupar. This devotion for people pushed her to run for the governorship of the Department of Cesar, which she lost; she later became Minister of Culture for the Colombian government during Conservative president Andrés Pastrana's term.

The Vallenato Legend Festival
In 1968, with the help of former Liberal president of Colombia and then acting first governor of the Cesar Department; Alfonso López Michelsen and Vallenato composer Rafael Escalona, she founded the Vallenato Legend Festival, a festival whose primary purpose was to celebrate a religious legend about a miracle by Virgin Mary during the colonial times over a fight between Spanish settlers and Indians; but the people focused more on the music, which ended up overshadowing the other events. Thus the main purpose of the festival changed, becoming a vehicle for showing and exalting local customs and culture, including the dances, music, arts and crafts, and the whole diversity of people from the region.

Abduction and assassination
On 24 September 2001, Araújo was kidnapped by the FARC on the outskirts of Valledupar and was killed six days later. Her body was found with two shots in the head and with gunpowder burns, indicating that the shots were probably fired at close distance by her kidnappers. Her family, the Colombian government, and the OAS condemned the FARC as the party responsible for the murder. The FARC blamed the Army for provoking the situation that led to her death.

Family
Consuelo Araújo was first married to Hernando Molina Céspedes and had five children, Hernando César, María Mercedes, Rodolfo Augusto, Ricardo Mario and Andrés Alfredo. She later divorced and married Edgardo Maya, Colombia's Inspector General of Colombia as for 2007, with whom she had the last of her children, named Edgardo José, born in 1980. She was the aunt of politicians Álvaro Araújo, former Senator of Colombia, and María Consuelo Araújo, former Minister of Culture (2002–2006) and former Foreign Relations Minister (2006–2007).

I believe the children are our future. That being said, I have no children, so I'll settle for the dogs.

I'm relatively new to Wikipedia... which seems bizarre to say because I was very active with it in its infancy, but then life and career pulled me away and I've since lost my log-in information. Now, I feel like a complete newbie, so much has changed, but I'm excited to learn all over again.

I continue to believe that Wikipedia is one of the crown achievements to come out of the internet age, and I promise to do my best not to muck it up!

Cookbook talk:Midwestern Chicken Wings

Yes, there is a new, free, non copyrighted cookbook that came in the mail recently. It has the same recipe.

I said to my mom "isnt this your recipe?", and she agreed it was the same, but said "Josh, its not a unique family recipe. Its just chicken wings"

But damn it, it's the best thing she cooks...

It is what we call "generic" or traditional much like British Blues. You know Clapton. Page, Beck, and others imported the likes of Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters to learn their guitar riffs and record their versions... What connection relates to this recipe, simple. Early Brits Band which some of later great guitarist, was named the yard birds. Slang for chicken!

 * Double check that the compiler, interpreter, or simulator you are using supports your PLC by exact model number. There is a lot of variation in ladder logic and various PLC compilers/interpreters even when they claim to be using standard languages.  Be sure to test your code on the PLC itself early and often, even if the engineering lab is inconvenient, it will reduce painful surprises later.  Cheers!  Mirwin 10:26, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

does anyone know this symbol?
I was wondering if anybody knows of a symbol that looks almost exactly like the Anarchism symbol (the capital A inside a circle, for those who don't know), but with a capital E instead of a capital A.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Staff needed to run a wiki?
After reading through intro stuff on how/why wikis are good, I would like to know what kind of technical skill and content maintenance resources are required to keep a very large wiki running?

I have only intorductory knowledge, about an hour experience, and am being asked to start up a brand new wiki; so I would like to know what are we getting ourselves into, and are we going to have the necessary resources (people/hardware/software) to make it successful?

Thanks, Gyatri Devi

(this probably goes in Colloquium, but I couldn't figure out how to get a question on my own page, it kept adding to the bottom of the previous bottom page.)

 * You might wish to consult the technical developers on the wikimedia mailing list maintained for non Wikimedia Foundation users of the wikimedia software . Most, maybe all, of us here are strictly site users of the software.  It was set up for us by the Wikimedia Foundation's server administrators.   You might also wish to consider www.wikia.com or www.xwiki.com, both provide free wiki space to groups who qualify.  Both probably (xwiki certainly does) provide corporate consulting if you are setting up a company internal site.  Mirwin 07:17, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Do you need to host the wiki as well as set it up? If so, you will need working knowledge of things like MySQL, Apache and (some) PHP. If not, you can get a web-hosting company to set up a wiki for you - and then you can maintain it pretty simply. I have a wiki hosted by Siteground - it works for me - but you might as well look around for what suits you and your needs best. Cormaggio beep 16:36, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree with Cormaggio, Siteground is nice because they actually set up a wiki for you. However, they don't necessarily set up the latest version of mediawiki, and it is still needed to do any special configuration such as additional extensions, etc. (I am a former Siteground customer). If there is more technical expertise available, I like Site5 for hosting. Those guys are inexpensive, and you can get a bash shell to run php and mysql at the command line, as well as SVN for fairly painfree updating. If this doesn't make sense, then go with Siteground and use their support people. --jeffmcneill 03:58, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Kindly advise me.

Mainly they just need practice. The more one-on-one time you can give them, the better. I would read a passage from a book and ask them some probing questions. Let's say the book was "Jack and the Beanstalk", you might ask "Why did Jack buy the beans ?" (Answer: "He thought they were magic beans that would...") and "Why did his mother toss them out the window ?" (Answer: "She didn't believe that they were magic."). As for spelling, I'd give them 10 words each day to learn, and use flash cards to help to learn them. They should also get a reward, like gold stars, for learning them all. Also, have they been checked for learning disabilities ? StuRat 17:53, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Sihigali

Sihigali is a 2010 Indian Kannada-language drama film directed and written by Lekhan. The film stars Sriimurali and Sherin with Thulasi Shivamani and Sharan in supporting roles.

Cast

 * Sriimurali as Dharani
 * Sherin as Jeevi
 * Thulasi Shivamani
 * Sharan
 * Achyuth Kumar

Production
Debutant director Lekhan opted to make his first film and chose to focus on the mother-son relationship. Actress Sherin made a comeback after a brief absence from acting through the project, and shot for forty days.

Critical response
Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana of Rediff.com scored the film at 1 out of 5 stars and says "Dialogues, especially those between the just smitten Dharni and Jeevi, are too poetic to digest. Sharan, who plays Murali's friend, also fails to impress. Stale jokes find a place in the film and there is nothing even Sharan can do to make them sound funny. Sihigalli is sure to give you a headache. Give it a miss". BSS from Deccan Herald wrote "Normal situations tend to turn syrupy while those that need to be tightened are cut a huge slack. Neither Niranjan Babu’s camerawork nor the music can make this “gaali”, a “sihigaali”. A prodigal waste". A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "Leykkhan messes with the film and the producer’s money big time. If you don’t want to do the same with your time, keep a safe distance from Sihigaali. It is a gasbag and smells bad". Sify.com wrote "Lekhan's brainless narrative fails to bring even decent performance from talented artists like Sri Murali, Thualsi Shivamani and Sharan. Shirin is wasted. However Murali shines in a few action sequences. It is better to avoid 'Sihi Gaali' ".

Police Operations Tactical Unit

The Unidad Táctica de Operaciones Policiales (UTOP; Police Operations Tactical Unit) is the riot control unit of Bolivia's National Police. The unit was founded in 1976 as the Grupo Especializado de Seguridad (GES; Specialized Security Group). The unit has been involved in confronting numerous protests and civil disturbances, and provides security around the principal government buildings in La Paz, Bolivia's seat of government.

Initially, the GES was based in the La Paz's wealthy Zona Sur, in a site currently occupied by the command center of Police District 4. Its current headquarters is in La Paz, on Junin Street just northeast of the Plaza Murillo between Indaburo and Ingavi.

GES troops engaged in mutinies during times of social protest in April 2000 and February 2003. UTOP troops have also led police mutinies in June 2012, November 2013, and July 2014.

History
The Grupo Especializado de Seguridad was created in 1976.

During the late 1980s, the GES temporarily assumed counterterrorist functions. In March 1987, French police advisers and Bolivian experts began giving a three-month antiterrorism course — consisting of technical and psychological training — to 400 GES members. The purpose of the training was to form a special group for responding to hostage-taking incidents. That June the Bolivian police announced officially the creation of a 22-member antiterrorist command, the Multi-purpose Intervention Brigade (Brigada de Intervention Polivalente — BIP), responsible for solving cases of "uncommon violence," such as kidnapping, hostage taking, and antigoverment uprisings. The government of President Paz Zamora gave responsibility for anti-terrorist actions to the Special Elite Antiterrorist Force (Fuerza Especial Antiterrorista de Elite — FEAE).

In April 2000, President Hugo Banzer declared a state of siege in response to the Cochabamba Water War and a general strike by the CSUTCB Peasant Confederation. GES troops refused to participate in policing during the crisis and the government agreed to increases in salary for the police.

Amid protests in February 2003 over a proposed tax on salaries and wages, GES troops mutinied on February 11 and left the city center of La Paz unpoliced. The military was mobilized to the central Plaza Murillo, where they exchanged fire with the GES.

As of 2003, the GES had 21 officers and 235 troops.

In 2013, the government announced the creation of an UTOP unit for El Alto, to consist of 200 troops headquartered in the Huayna Potosí district.

Constantin Piron

Constantin Piron (1932, Paris - 9 May 2012, Lausanne) was a Belgian physicist who worked for most of his career in Switzerland. In 1963 Piron earned his doctor of science degree from the University of Lausanne under the direction of Ernst Stueckelberg and Josef-Maria Jauch with a thesis on quantum logic, "Axiomatique quantique". He developed Jauch's methods (called the Geneva approach) for the foundations of quantum mechanics.

Piron's Theorem (1964) is a famous representation theorem for quantum lattices.

He was appointed assistant professor in the physics department of the University of Geneva in 1969 and professor ordinarius in 1974. He retired in 2000.

Maurice Grosser

Maurice Grosser (October 23, 1903 – December 22, 1986) was an American painter, art critic, and writer.

Biography
Maurice Grosser was born on October 23, 1903, in Huntsville, Alabama.

Grosser attended Harvard University where he studied mathematics, graduating with honors in 1924. While at university, a friend brought Grosser to a life painting class at the Boston Architectural School. From then on he continued life drawing there and at the South Boston Art School. While at Harvard, Grosser also took painting classes from Denman Ross. While still a student, Grosser's paintings were displayed at the Fogg Art Museum. Grosser was awarded Harvard's Sheldon Fellowship which allowed him to study painting in France.

He designed the scenario for two operas by Virgil Thomson: Four Saints in Three Acts (1934) and The Mother of Us All (1947). In 1985 he created 18 Portraits, and each lithograph was accompanied by a musical portrait composed by Thomson.

Grosser wrote four books on painting and art criticism: Painting in Public/Painting in Our Time (Alfred A. Knoff, 1948/Chater Books, 1964), The Painter's Eye (Rinehart and Co., 1951), Critic's Eye (The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc., 1962), and Painter's Progress (Clarkson N. Potter, Inc., 1971). At the time of his death, Grosser was writing a memoir entitled Visiting Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas which was posthumously published in The Company They Kept: Writers on Unforgettable Friendships (New York Review Books, 2006).

From 1956 to 1967 he served as art critic for The Nation.

From 1969-1970 he was a Visiting Professor of Art at the University of Ife, Nigeria.

Grosser died on December 22, 1986, in Manhattan and his ashes are interred at Maple Hill Cemetery, Huntsville.

Relationship with Virgil Thomson
Maurice and Virgil met in 1920 while both were attending meetings of The Liberal Club at Harvard but the intimate relationship between the two would not fully blossom until they met by chance in 1925 at Les Deux Magots, a café in Paris. The pair would continue their relationship as lovers and then as best friends for the rest of their lives.
