List of bus routes in Perth

Buses in Perth, Western Australia, are operated under the brand Transperth. The Public Transport Authority of the Government of Western Australia tenders the provision of bus routes in Perth to private operators; privatisation of Transperth services began in 1993 and was completed in July 1998. Path Transit, Swan Transit and Transdev WA currently operate services.

Bus operations
, all routes operated under Transperth are serviced by accessible buses. Typical Perth bus routes operate every 10–20 minutes in peak times, and every 30–60 minutes off peak on weekdays. Services generally finish before midnight, though many routes finish earlier, between 6:00 pm and 11:00 pm. Weekend services are approximately half weekday levels. Major routes are more frequent, operating every 10–15 minutes off peak on weekdays, and every 15–30 minutes on weekends and evenings.

Most bus routes terminate in Perth, at Elizabeth Quay, Perth Busport, in East Perth, and at suburban bus stations or railway stations. Some services in older areas terminate by looping on suburban streets.

Zero fare routes
CAT routes are zero fare, circular services which operate in the central business districts of Perth and major regional centre Joondalup. They operate every 5–15 minutes on weekdays, and every 15 minutes on weekends except for Joondalup CAT routes. Similar circular services also operate in the Midland and Rockingham central business districts, although the Rockingham service charges a fare.

CircleRoute
The CircleRoute is a circular service which operates in inner suburbs of Perth. Numbered 998 clockwise and 999 anticlockwise, it connects major hospitals, universities, schools, shopping centres, and all urban rail lines.

High frequency routes
Some routes numbered in the 900s are high frequency routes. High frequency bus services operate at minimum every 15 minutes between 7am and 7pm on weekdays, 8am and 7pm on Saturdays, and 9am and 7pm on Sundays. Since 2014, several high frequency routes have been introduced, and other routes have been renumbered to the 900s to indicate high frequency.

Route 950 operates between Morley, Elizabeth Quay, University of Western Australia and Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre. It is the highest frequency bus route in Perth, operating up to every minute in peak times, every 7–8 minutes off peak on weekdays, and up to every 10 minutes on weekends. When introducing the route, the Public Transport Authority marketed it as the Superbus.

Route 960 operates between Mirrabooka, Edith Cowan University, Mount Lawley, Perth Busport, Victoria Park Bus Transfer station, and Curtin University. It is the second-highest frequency bus route in Perth, operating up to 5–10 minutes in peak times, every 10–20 minutes off peak on weekdays, and every 15–30 minutes on weekends. The route was intended to replicate the success of Route 950.

Timetables
Timetables were, between 1999 and 2016, colour coded to indicate which area of the Perth metropolitan area they serve: green for the northern area, red for the eastern area, yellow for the south eastern area, orange for the southern area, and blue for the western area. Timetables for CAT services are silver, and timetables for high frequency services are aqua.

Currently, they are coded based on the type of service they run: normal services are white with green details, high frequency services are aqua with white details, and CAT services are silver with black details.

Special services
Transperth operates bus routes servicing special events such as sport matches and concerts. These may include regular bus services, which may operate with larger capacity buses or with additional trips, or special routes for the events. For example, nib Stadium is serviced by regular Beaufort Street and Lord Street routes, while Subiaco Oval had special events routes (now no longer running, due to the closure of the oval). Ten special events routes have been introduced to service the new Perth Stadium. Special event service routes are numbered in the 600s.

Crown Perth operates a "Crown Bus" service from various metropolitan destinations to the Burswood casino complex. Most routes depart from or pass through bus stations, with a morning trip to the casino and a return trip in the afternoon. These routes are also numbered in the 600s, and appear on Transperth station maps and bus stands.

Various "School Special" services are numbered in the 700s. Other school services operate as variations of standard Transperth services.

Train and ferry replacement bus services are numbered in the 900s, and operate when those services are interrupted. When only part of a train line is closed, the replacement buses will operate between the nearest open stations. As of October 2016, buses replacing Perth Station services depart from Perth Busport; previously, they departed from Roe Street bus station. Private operators such as Buswest may be used if there are insufficient Transperth-branded buses available, such as when unscheduled disruptions occur during peak periods.

Renumbered and withdrawn bus routes
The following bus routes underwent route renumbering or service withdrawal since 2011:

Previous Page: Render Settings -- Back to Index

When you render a scene in Blender, by default there will open a small window showing your image. If you want to publish your picture, you may want to render it a bit bigger. To do this, you have to open the Scene context (F10) and locate the Format sub-context (usually on the right).

You will see some settings there. Let's go through their meanings:
 * SizeX: This parameter sets the width of the image in pixels.
 * SizeY: This parameter sets the height of the image in pixels.
 * AspX, AspY: These parameters specify the aspect ratio of the pixels. By default, this is 100:100, because a pixel on a computer screen has equal width and height. These settings can be used for screens whose pixels don't have equal width and height. For example, on a PAL system one pixel's width/height ratio is 54:51, which you can select there easily. Notice that these parameters don't change the size of the image.

There is one more thing changing the render size: In the Render sub-context (usually in the middle) there are 4 buttons: 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%. If you have chosen SizeX = 640, SizeY = 480 and you clicked 50%, your image will be 320 pixels wide and 240 pixels high.

WARNING: I have encountered some crashes when I changed those parameters. If you have problems too, locate the Output sub-context (usually on the left) and select the option DispView instead of DispWin. This renders the image "into" Blender instead of making a new window.

Finnish/Introduction

^^Contents^^ | Introduction | Alphabet>>

Overview
Finnish (suomi in Finnish) is a language belonging to the Finnic branch of the Finno-Ugric branch of the Uralic language family. It is not an Indo-European language. Its closest linguistic relatives are the Estonian, Karelian, and Sámi languages. It is also somewhat distantly related to Hungarian and several minor languages spoken in northern Russia.

Altogether about six million people speak Finnish. It is spoken in Finland as an official language, as a minority language in Sweden (mainly in Northern Sweden and Stockholm), in the Russian Federation (in the Republic of Karelia and the province of Leningrad), in northern Norway (Finnmark) and in Finnish immigrant communities in the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada.

Language structure
The language is structured mostly in the fashion of Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) like in English, but it also might go Object-Subject-Verb, Verb-Subject-Object or Object-Verb-Subject, as the word order is very flexible in Finnish. However its little quirks like the fashion of the prepositions (in Finnish, they are actually postpositions), vowel harmony and the absence of articles and sometimes pronouns, make it seem like a mishmash of consonants and vowels. For example the phrase “I am in the car” changes to “(I) am car|in”, “olen autossa”.

Differences between spoken and written Finnish
There is a significant difference between formal written Finnish and colloquial spoken Finnish. Most Finns, especially the younger generation, speak the language in an informal way, and while the differences between colloquial Finnish and formal Finnish aren't enormous, it can be difficult to develop a natural conversational style purely based on literary study. In practice, you will be understood without difficulty, but one should not expect the conversation of native speakers to match the precise grammatical fashion in which the language is taught. See also the slang and accents of Finnish.

Borrowed words
Finnish, like most languages, has "borrowed" words from other languages. However, many have been altered in the process of nativization to the extent that they may not even be recognizable. Finnish grammar does not allow words to end in any consonants other than a single 's', 'n', 't', 'l' or 'r', so in borrowing, a vowel is often added, e.g. vokaali. In addition, if the preceding consonant is geminate, it is borrowed as such, e.g. konsonantti.

Also, Finnish does not differentiate voiced-unvoiced pairs like 'b' and 'p', or 'g' and 'k', although newer loans preserve the spelling, if not the pronunciation. Foreign spelling idiosyncrasies such as the letter 'c' are rarely used. Consonant clusters are usually removed in older loans. For example, strand → ranta. Phonemic long vowels may be added, e.g. laki < lag (Swedish, cf. English "law"), but laaki < slag (Swedish, cf. English "slay").

Examples:

 * baari, pubi – bar, pub
 * bussi – bus (the proper word is linja-auto)
 * dieetti – diet
 * elefantti – elephant (though the more Finnish, but equally used word is norsu)
 * euro – euro (currency used in Finland)
 * pankki – bank
 * paperi – paper
 * posti – post office
 * radio – radio
 * sekki (or shekki) – cheque
 * shampoo (or sampoo) – shampoo
 * tee – tea
 * televisio – television
 * turisti – tourist (although turisti is an international word, the more local word being matkailija)

False friends
Some of the false friends can be similar to Swedish, an example is appelsiini that is similar to the Norwegian and Swedish appelsin meaning orange (think of it as an apple from China). There aren't many false friends in Finnish, but beware, because there are a few!

 * ale – sale, not "ale"
 * appelsiini – orange, not "apple"
 * dokumentti – both documentary and document
 * greippi – grapefruit, not "grape"
 * kinkkinen – tricky, not "kinky"
 * kudos - tissue (as in muscle tissue), not "kudos"
 * he – they, not "he"
 * me – we, not "me"
 * motoristi – motocyclist, not "motorist"
 * viina – liquor, not "wine"
 * likööri - liqueur, not "liquor"

Exercise Number One
Figure out what these Finnish words are in English. You will find the answers at the back of the book.

 * 1) historia
 * 2) projekti
 * 3) lista
 * 4) faksi
 * 5) galleria
 * 6) linkki
 * 7) skandaali
 * 8) kopio
 * 9) idiootti
 * 10) klassikko

Exercise Number Two
These are more difficult. Many of them are loans from languages other than English but they still bear some similarity to their English translations.

 * 1) lamppu
 * 2) lasi
 * 3) pommi
 * 4) tikku
 * 5) tuhat
 * 6) naula
 * 7) mies
 * 8) kortti
 * 9) valkoinen
 * 10) torstai

Added a Project, Any Requests
I added the project, I can add more stuff. I am looking for my lecture notes I gave to prep students on the project I post. Also, as a side note I'm new to the Wiki thing so any comments are welcome for sure. Mundhenk 23:46, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I am going to add more to the lesson. I think I'm a little beat for the evening. Mundhenk 04:42, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I've been thinking about dividing this up into sub-topics and getting some people I know to contribute. I might break it into I'm really really fishing for comments here. Let me know.
 * 1) Hopfield networks
 * 2) Hebian Learning
 * 3) Graphical Models (maybe its own field?)
 * 4) Feedforward models (what's here already)
 * 5) Biological Models (specific types such as Dominy-Arbib Model of grasping)
 * 6) Boltzmann machines
 * 7) Statistics and Neural Networks

Mundhenk 08:58, 6 March 2007 (UTC) I'm playing around with a sub-departmental logo. This is my first idea. Mundhenk 22:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC) This is my second idea. Mundhenk 22:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

possible project
I'm thinking that it would be fun to have a learning project designed around the goal of making a bot that uses a "neural network"-based approach to make a "more intelligent" bot than usual. I think this page --> Writing a simple greeting bot for MediaWiki could usefully be extended in an effort to make more than a simple greeting bot. For example, an "intelligent" bot could take clues from userboxes and other information on user pages and edits that are made in order to suggest pages and activities that might be of interest to individual Wikiversity participants. --JWSchmidt 00:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

General comments

 * It would be better if "college students" were a different colour in the figures
 * I can't quite figure out what all the letters are supposed to mean in those formulae - it would be much better if they were defined!
 * The exercise needs to be modified to explain where to get NSL from (http://nsl.usc.edu/) and maybe how to install it and load a file.

Overall, a nice tutorial, though - better than the notes our lecturers gave us, definitely!

 * Hello, thank you very much for your feedback.
 * Colors: What color would you propose then ? Perhaps even the images could be made completely new (and also involve more things like different shapes, ...) ?
 * Image:Neural-Network-Example-4.jpg
 * Image:Neural-Network-Example-5.jpg
 * letters: seems this User:Mundhenk made much contribution - he has listed emails on his user page. I will contact him and he or someone else may add the info on that page.
 * NSL: I think it is listed here (link + download link). About how to install I found this link. All in all your feedback suggests this should be presented perhaps at begin somewhere ?
 * Thanks again for your input, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) PS: Tag a learning project with completion status !! 16:59, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback. Let me look it over and see if I can integrate the comments Mundhenk 03:48, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Chaetodon hoefleri

Chaetodon hoefleri, the four-banded butterflyfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a butterflyfish from the family Chaetodontidae. It is native to the tropical eastern Atlantic and has been recorded in the Mediterranean.

Description
Chaetodon hoefleri has a rounded body shape with a short snout and rounded median fins. The head and body are largely yellowish in colour with copper tints. The body is marked with four vertical bars, the first bar is blackish and starts to the front of the first dorsal fin spine runs across the eye to the lower part of the back of the head. The second is dark brown in colour and starts between the third to fifth dorsal fin spines across the rear angle of the bill cover and base of the pectoral fins to the pelvic fins. The third bar is darker brown and runs from the last dorsal fin spines down towards the base of the anal fin at a slightly oblique angle, with an obvious black spot in its uppermost part. The fourth bar is darker than the others and could be described as blackish runs over the caudal peduncle. A black stripe runs between the eyes to the end of the short snout. The remainder of the upper part of head and the snout is orange. Every scale on the body has an orange horizontal stripe. The median fin spines and rays and the pelvic fin rays are yellowish to orange in colour. The soft rayed parts of the dorsal and anal fins usually have a white stripe on the inside of this. The pectoral fins are hyaline as is the caudal fin but this an orange crescent shaped crossbar in its centre. The dorsal fin contains 11 spines and 21-24 soft rays while the anal fin has 3 spines and 16-17 soft rays. This species attains a maximum total length of 27 cm, although 17 cm is more common.

Distribution
Chaetodon hoefleri occurs in the tropical eastern Atlantic Ocean from Cap Blanc and Levrier Bay in Mauritania) south as far as the mouth of the Congo. It is also occurs around the Canary Islands. There have been a number of records in the western Mediterranean Sea.

Habitat and biology
Chaetodon hoefleri is a coastal species which has a preference for hard or rocky substrates. However, it has also been caught by trawlers over sand or mud substrates. It is a solitary fish, although it is often encountered in pairs as adults, although juveniles may be more gregarious when. They feed on benthic invertebrates. This is an oviparous species which forms pairs when breeding. It is found at depths of 20 to 100 m.

Taxonomy and etymology
Chaetodon hoefleri was first formally described in 1881 by the Austrian ichthyologist Franz Steindachner (1834-1913) with its type locality given as Gorée in Senegal. The specific name honours the Steindachner's “dear friend” W. Höfler, who provided the type and who was supplied him with fish specimens from Africa.

Utilisation
Chaetodon hoefleri is rare in the aquarium trade.

General
While the hardware has a typical microcontroller architecture, with several pins dedicated to I/O, the instruction set is typical of a minicomputer and resembles that of the PDP-11

In around 1982 Signetics released the N8X305, the successor to the 8X300. It was functionally compatible but increased the general purpose registers to 13 from 8 among some other instruction improvements that greatly improved upon the data handling deficiencies of the 8X300. Processor speed was also boosted to 10MHz. (200ns instruction time vs 250ns for the 8X300) The N8X305 also used the same pin-out as the 8X300 and the same 50pin DIP package (as well as adding a 68pin PLCC).

IDA 2650
In 1980 Philips Semiconductor asked a small local computer company (Instrument Design Agency) to design, manufacture, and market a PLC20 development system based on the 2650 microprocessor. This system contained two 8 inch floppy disk units and a 2650 computer system in a eurocard format rack. The software consisted of a disk operating system, text editor, PLC20 assembler and a utility to upload the generated binary code. This system was sold all over Europe to industries that were using the PLC20

Architecture
The 2650 was supplied in a 40 pin plastic or ceramic DIL enclosure. An external single phase clock signal and a single 5V supply were needed.

The 2650 was designed to be easy to interface: a complete microcomputer required only a few standard external components, rather than a specific 'chipset'. To this end, all inputs and outputs were TTL compatible, and the control signals were designed to make interfacing to standard components simple - a minimal computer system (an intelligent typewriter controller ) required only 5 standard TTL I.C.'s beside the 2650 itself.

The 2650 had many unusual features when compared to other microprocessors of the time:

 * It was a fully static NMOS 8-bit microprocessor. The static nature was unusual for the time, and meant that the processor could be halted simply by stopping the clock signal. Programmers made grateful use of this feature to "single step' through a program using a push-button switch to generate the clock pulses.
 * Unique was the 8-level 15-bit wide stack for the subroutine and interrupt return addresses which was integrated into the processor. The stack pointer used 3 bits of the upper status register. This meant subroutines and interrupts could only be nested 8 levels deep.
 * The processor had only 13 real address lines, a further 2 address lines were connected to a 2-bit 'page register', resulting in a 32 kb address space. The page register was set when an absolute (direct) branch instruction-which used a full 15-bit address, was executed. All logical and arithmetic instructions used a 13-bit address augmented by the contents of the page register, thereby limiting their scope to an 8 kb page. These 2 upper address lines were also used (multiplexed) to select the appropriate I/O port during I/O operations (Control port, Data port or Extended port).

This vectored interrupt is also reminiscent of the PDP-11 minicomputer
 * Although the 2650 had only one interrupt input, this was a 'vectored' interrupt-the interrupting device needed to put a zero-relative displacement on the data bus, that would be used as the operand of a ZBSR (zero branch to subroutine relative) instruction to branch to the specified interrupt routine. Therefore, using indirect addressing, a maximum of 30 interrupt vectors could be stored in the first 64 bytes of memory. (The first three bytes were needed to hold an unconditional branch to the 'reset' routine). Theoretically, negative displacements could be used to access interrupt routines in the last page of memory.

Besides the 3-bit stack pointer,the upper status register also contained:
 * Also unusual were the two status registers, which could be set, tested and cleared under program control.
 * Interrupt inhibit bit
 * Flag bit that drives the FLAG output pin
 * Sense bit that follows the state of the SENSE input pin.
 * Bits 3 and 4 unused in the 2650A, and user programmable in the 2650B

The lower status register contained the following bits: Of the 7 8-bit general purpose registers, register R0 was always available, the other 6 registers were divided into 2 banks of 3, and the bank could be switched by setting or clearing the 'Bank Select' bit in the lower status register.
 * CC0 and CC1. Condition code bits that reflect the contents of a register (zero, positive or negative), or the result of a compare instruction.
 * IDC. Intermediate Carry
 * RS. Select register bank A or B
 * WC. With or without Carry
 * 0. Overflow
 * COM. Logical or Arithmetic Compare - If arithmetic compare is chosen, the MSB of the data is considered to be a SIGN-bit.
 * Carry.

Football (soccer)

The game of football (also known as soccer in some parts of the world) was invented in the late 19th century in the United Kingdom. Ever since, it has spread around the world and is now officialy the most popular sport in the world, and has evolved into a major part of daily life. Football is a very simple sport. However, to become proficient at football, fitness and practice are necessary.

Positions

 * Goalkeeper

 * The goalkeeper stands in the goal, and is allowed to use his hands to catch the ball but only within the goalkeeper's box. The ball is shot at the goal by the other team's forward when they get the chance. If it goes past him and enters the goal, a goal is conceded. Goalkeepers can dive for the ball, grab it, or kick it.

 * Defenders

 * Defenders are often placed near the goal, as they are on the pitch, they can move around anyway, but should stop the other teams forwards from approaching the goal by tackling them. They can then run for the goal with the ball, or pass it with their foot to another player.

 * Mid-fielders do not only stay midfield, but rather generally run 18yd box to 18yd box, for a mixture of attack and defense. They often shoot at the goal and score, but can defend and keep the ball in one teams hands. The Mid-fielder job consists of a lot of running.

 * Forwards

 * Designed to score, the forwards attempt to score into the other players net which the goalkeeper attempts to catch. If the opponent misses and the forward scores, they score a goal. Any player, though, even a goalkeeper, is allowed to score a goal.

Learning to play the game
The game is played on a large field, which has two goals equally apart and positioned. On each half is a team. There is also the sidelines, which go around the perimeter pitch. If the ball goes out of the line on the sides of the pitch, the opposing team that did not knock it out gets a throw in. If it happens on the goal-lines (the line next to the goal), it changes. If the team that defends that side got it out, the opponents get a corner kick where the kick it from a corner. If the team that was attacking that side gets it out, the defenders get a goal kick, where they can kick from the goal.

 * 1. Getting started
 * To start playing soccer, you should train for a few weeks before playing. Start by getting a ball and start trying to run with it. This is called dribbling, you use your feet to move the ball as you move. To stop the ball, place your foot on the top. Use whatever foot you feel comfortable with to dribble it. A simple way to dribble it is tap it lightly and jog slowly keeping yourself aware. Keep doing this for a while to start learning, to properly kick a ball.

 * 2. Passing
 * Passing is the art of kicking a ball so you give it to another player on your team. You pass a ball by tapping it lightly with the inside of your foot and it should go in the aimed direction. Keep practicing in speed and accuracy for a while. Try doing this with a partner to make it more efficient.

 * 3. Shooting
 * To shoot a ball, you kick it full force. When you kick it full force, it should speed on the ground in one direction. Do this for a while. Then learn how to evaluate it with your foot. Elevate it by shoving your foot under it while you kick. To maintain a ball's height, when you elevate it, place your knee slightly downwards as you kick it, and its height will be stunted.

 * 4. Heading a ball
 * Football players can use their heads to play football. To either pass or shoot at the goal, if a ball comes at your face, you should tap it in the appropriate direction with your head, this is heading a ball. Use it only to shoot when right next to a goal. Use it to pass anywhere else on the field.

 * 5. Tackling
 * To get the ball off the opposing team you can intercept passes, but another and more difficult way, is tackling. You tackle a player when they are dribbling the ball, by kicking it out of their dribble. It is not that easy, as they can revert direction and keep the ball out of your way. Be careful when tackling as if you hit the player, it will be classed as a foul, which then may result in a yellow or red card. Yellow is a warning, red sends you off. If a foul is committed in the box around the goal of your team. It is classed as a penalty, where the other team get a free shot right up at the goal. You can slide tackle other players, by sliding onto the ground with your foot forwards to get the ball off them. More about tackling can be for the Defending position.

 * 6. Assisting
 * A lot of players in football don't score goals. But they, assist other players to score goals. By getting to the appropiate position, passing it, then they can shoot it in at a perfect point. This is often used when one player is obstructed by too many opposing defenders.

 * 7. Dribbling
 * Dribbling is the art in football of tapping the ball lightly while moving with the ball. This technique is usually done by forwards, who try to score the goal in. Players also do different, special tricks while dribbling, which are moves such as the Bicycle Kick, Nut meg, and different other special skills. There are also different tricks done while dribbling which can physically or mentally trick the player. Many great known players are really called for there dribbling, such as Leo Messi and Diego Maradona.[1][2]

Playing the game
After spending a few weeks learning these basic skills, get into a game. Use a large area of land, set up some goal posts, and get 11 players on each team or 5. 11 is recommended. Use different colored strips for each team. Each team also needs one captain, which is normally the most experienced and skilled player, a player of any position can be the captain

Each team has a formation, where they should be mostly positioned when playing - they are free to move around, though. When playing the 5-a-side version of the game, all players of one team except the goalkeeper should be in the other players half when a player of their team scores. The ref should kick off by a some kind of a draw, like a coin toss.

He will then place the ball in the middle and let the team which has kick off get the first move. The game should go on for 90 minutes. When it gets to 45 minutes. It becomes half time, and the players can rest for 15 minutes which doesn't count onto the game time, for the second half of the game for another 45 minutes. At 90 minutes, which ever teams scored the most goals win. If it's the same number it goes into a draw.

Hail to the Sunrise

Hail to the Sunrise is the name of a monument in Charlemont, Massachusetts, United States. The monument features a prominent statue of a Mohawk warrior and the Max Eninger Memorial Pool. Completed in 1932 by the Improved Order of Red Men, it is a major feature of Mohawk Park, a roadside park located beside Massachusetts Route 2, the Mohawk Trail.

Sculpture
The bronze statue depicts a Native American man in traditional wardrobe looking eastward with his arms extended. He faces the direction of the rising sun and is said to be greeting the Great Spirit. The casting stands upon a large boulder. A tablet in the shape of an arrowhead at the base of the statue reads: "Hail to the Sunrise - In Memory of the Mohawk Indian."

The pool is lined with 100 inscribed stones from various tribes and councils of the Red Men (the oldest fraternal organization to be granted a charter by Congress) and Degree of Pocahontas, the women's auxiliary, from throughout the United States. Stones of past and present members of the organization line the walkway around the pool.

History
The Red Men are a fraternal organization who, despite their name, consisted of only white members at the time. The statue they commissioned was created by sculptor Joseph Pollia and revealed on October 1, 1932. More than 2,000 people attended the ceremony. The monument honors the peoples of the five Mohawk Nations that inhabited western Massachusetts and New York State. The Mohawks that traveled this trail were said to be friendly to white settlers according to the plaque. However, this area was historically inhabited by the Mohicans, rather than the Mohawk.

Today the monument serves as a reminder of the area's Native American heritage. The grounds are open to the public and many travelers find this to be a welcoming stop along the scenic highway. The park also serves as the site of an annual parade and ceremony hosted by the Red men.

Artillerie-Inrichtingen was a Dutch State-Owned artillery, small arms, and munitions company which also produced machine tools originally founded in 1679 in Delft, Netherlands. The company was split in 1973 with its defense related businesses becoming Eurometaal and its civilian manufacturing becoming Hembrug Machine Tools. During its years of operation as Artillerie Inrichtingen, the company manufactured armaments and an array of other industrial outputs for the Dutch Army and the Royal Dutch East Indies Army (KNIL).

History
The tribulations of the year 1672 emphasized the neglected state in which the army of the Republic of the Seven Provinces found itself. Therefore, in 1677, Willem III of Orange founded the corps artillery. In 1679 the State Prosecution Company in Delft was established. It was not the only one in the Netherlands. For example, the Grof Geschut Gieterij in 's-Gravenhage and the Geweerfabriek in Culemborg were also known. With the creation of United Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815 following the Napoleonic Wars and the period of French Occupation, there was a need for a strong army in order to provide a buffer against France. The artillery was improved under the direction of Prince Frederik. Arms production was reorganized and came under military leadership.

The Delft Company
In the period of peace between Waterloo in 1815 and the Belgian Revolution of 1830, the Delft company developed rapidly. By 1813, the company was already utilizing steam power and producing artillery, field guns, small arms and military vehicles. Other products were manufactured in facilities located in Liège, but this ended after 1830 when the Belgian Revolution geographically split off these facilities, leaving the company's production entirely in Delft. Again, a reorganization was undertaken and non-core tasks such as woodworking were rejected. The company focused its efforts on metalworking under the leadership of Colonel Ultich Huguenin (1755-1833). The company began to manufacture small arms and ammunition as well, while continuing to produce machinery and precision instruments. Because it was also a mining plant, lathes were required for the machining of artillery munitions and the like. Their manufacture of precision instruments required custom machines and, by 1836, the company was producing lathes for their own use. By about 1850 there were 500 people in the company. The quality of production was high.

In 1860 a pyrotechnic plant was set up for the manufacture of explosives. About 1880, the company consisted of a logistics center, a pyrotechnic school, a foundry, a workshop, a saddlery, a woodworking center, a gun shop, and a pattern factory. In 1884, the company introduced a small foundry for cast steel, which was the first industrial scale steel production in the Netherlands. With this addition, the company began using cast steel for the production of war materiels which were previously manufactured from cast iron or wrought iron.

The Hembrug Company
In 1887 the company was renamed Artillerie Inrichtingen (A.I.). [1] From this point, all production was no longer centered in Delft because the Hague Grove Geschut Gieterij was also included in the company. As the company's existing facilities had no space left to expand, a new site was sought. However, this search was limited to the territory within the defenses of The Stelling van Amsterdam. [1] The company chose a new base of operations near Zaandam, where there were already some naval pilots[translation from Dutch article needed].

In 1899, Artillerie Inrichtingen moved to the Hemelveld on the Noordzeekanaal near Zaandam. The Hague shuttles were closed in 1904 and the services moved to Zaandam. In 1907, a gangway bridge was opened over the canal called Hembrug. Eventually the name of the bridge would pass on the company.

In 1912, Artillerie Inrichtingen was re-designated as a state-owned company, and was thereby withdrawn from the direct military authority. At this time, the company employed some 1200 people, including many soldiers. Most of its production was then going to the Dutch East Indies to suppress rebellions of the indigenous peoples, such as those the Aceh Wars.

After the outbreak of the First World War, production and staff increased quickly, reaching a height of 8500 people in 1917. Arms production increased by the large orders for the Dutch army. After the end of the war, the country entered a period of disarmament with the establishment of of the League of Nations. The number of employees fell to less than 2000 in 1921 and closure of the company was considered. As an alternative, automobiles were assembled and converted. The company also employed 200 drivers delivered mail, until this function was transferred to the "Mailies" of the Dutch National Postal Service in 1930.

In 1928, the organizational form of the company was changed to that of a public limited company which allowed for greater freedom of business management. The largest customer was still the KNIL, and the number of employees slowly recovered, before later falling back to 1200 in 1932 during the Depression, despite an increasing demand for the company's civilian production, including lathes. The German re-armament of the 1930s also led to increases in production. In 1940, a plan was put in place to deny the NAZIs use of Artillerie Inrichtingen's facilities, but this plan was not implemented before The Invasion.

World War II
During the German occupation of the Netherlands, Frans den Hollander remained Director of Artillerie Inrichtingen, but he had contact with the Dutch government in exile. The NAZIs demanded immediate reopening of the factories following the surrender of the Netherlands, but Den Hollander and his superiors, Dutch Commander-in-chief Henri Winkelman and Secretary-General Cornelis Ringeling refused this initially, and succeeded in delaying the resumption of production for about a month. On June 20, 1940 production resumed. The Nazis kept the plants working during the war, but the workforce fell sharply. The company also tried to make as many civilian products as possible. This could be because the machine factory was sold in 1941. The Delft factory was also dismantled in secret in 1941. ''In 1944 the factory was even closed, which emptied the occupier factory and land.[translation from Dutch article needed here]

Post War
After the Liberation in 1945, the company was restarted. The company, with the support of the Marshall Plan, produced agricultural tools such as seed and weeding machines and potato sorting machines for the post-war mechanization of Dutch agriculture. Thanks to the war in Dutch-India and The Cold War, there also remained a high demand for the company's ammunition and weapons production. It was during this time that the company became involved in the manufacture of AR-10 Battle Rifles for the Dutch, Portuguese, and Sudanesearmies. This iconic rifle is the predecessor or the M16/M4/AR-15 series rifles, one of the worlds most prolific Assault Rifle designs. The AR-10 was adopted by the Portuguese Paratroopers and came to be an iconic symbol of the Angolan War of Independance and the broader Portuguese Colonial Wars. The company also continued its long-standing production of lathes which led to numerous innovations. With the introduction of CNC Machining, the company's lathe making arm specialized in precision lathes from 1969 and went on to eventually become the Mikroturn division of Hembrug Machine Tools.

1973 Split
In 1973 the Dutch government divided the company into two independent parts: Eurometaal, and Hembrug Machine Tools. Eurometaal took the company's military production facilities including those for arms and armaments, while Hembrug took the precision tool manufacturing. In 1983, the privatization of Hembrug followed the company moving to the Figeeweg in the Waarderpolder in Haarlem. Hembrug went on to develop ultra-precision lathes. Eurometaal also sought to target the civil market and manufactured parts for cars, forklifts, milking robots, high-precision precision tools, light commercials, sailboats, and durable locks. It also developed a press for the production of coins for the Dutch Mint, which struck guldens and later euro coins. A unique technical event was the acquisition of a 3000-ton soil pump, which was the largest in Europe in terms of capacity and stroke length.

Acquisition and repatriation
Eurometaal was eventually taken over by the German Rheinmetall and stopped production in 2003. The Eurometaal subsidiary at Bergen op Zoom, called Franerex, was also closed in 2003. Companies in Eurometaal Holding including Intergas at Coevorden and the German Heidel, which worked for the automotive industry, were rejected for a social plan for the last 200 employees. In the old mansion workshop at Zaandam, the Tetrix training center was established in the old Artillerie Inrichtingen masonry pattern factory, founded in 1939. They left the site in 2012.

Present
The company Hembrug in Haarlem still makes precision lathes. There are still a large number of industrial manufacturing plants in the Hembrug area, and the area is considered as an important industrial monument. On the site, the Hembrug Museum is furnished to provide information about the past, present and future of its activities.

The AR-10 Battle Rifle
On July 4, 1957, Fairchild ArmaLite sold a five-year manufacturing license for the AR-10 to Artillerie Inrichtingen. The AR-10 was invented by Eugene Stoner in 1955 as a late entrant to the United States Army's Light Rifle Trials to replace the M1 Garand in US service. It was a revolutionary design in many ways, but lost the competetion. It had however caught the interest of Foreign militaries which led to Armalite's deal with Artillerie Inrichtingen whose large factory and production facilities were felt could produce the ArmaLite rifle in the large quantities Fairchild anticipated would be needed to fulfill expected orders.

A.I. officials meanwhile discovered a number of manufacturing and production issues in the "Hollywood" (Armalite) version of the AR-10, all of which had to be resolved before large-scale production could commence. In addition to designing and building tooling for the rifle, the design had to be converted to metric dimensions and subcontractors had to be found to supply materials or manufacture component parts. ArmaLite also continued to send A.I. product improvement requests.

AR-10 production was limited, though Guatemala, Burma, Italy, Cuba, Sudan and Portugal all purchased AR-10 rifles for limited issue to their military forces. Sudanese AR-10s were employed in frequent clashes with guerrilla forces and conflicts with neighboring countries, and a few captured rifles eventually turned up in unofficial service with various African and colonial armies, police, and guerrilla forces. The AR-10 remained in service with Sudanese Special Forces until 1985. The final Artillerie Inrichtingen design is known as the Portuguese model AR-10. This final version incorporated all that had been learned to date about the AR-10, including infantry service rifle and field test reports. It is believed that approximately 4,000-5,000 Portuguese variants were produced; nearly all of them were sold to the Portuguese National Defense Ministry by the Brussels-based arms dealer SIDEM International in 1960. The AR-10 was officially adopted by the Portuguese Paratrooper Battalions (Caçadores páraquedistas), and the rifle saw considerable combat service in Portugal's counter-insurgency campaigns in Angola and Mozambique.

In U.S. Army tests at Aberdeen Proving Ground in November 1960, and later in Portuguese service, the AR-10 gained a reputation for accuracy and reliability

Additional sales of the AR-10 rifle were stymied after the Netherlands embargoed further shipments of the rifle to Portugal. The A.I. produced Portuguese AR-10s continued in service with a few Portuguese airborne units, and was in use as late as 1975 in the Portuguese Timor (East Timor) decolonization emergency.

Fairchild-ArmaLite was dissatisfied with the delays in setting up the tooling and production at A.I. for the AR-10, and made it clear that they would not be renewing A.I.'s license to produce the rifle.[2] By 1960, hampered by Dutch export restrictions and discouraged by the lack of arms sales to major national purchasers, Artillerie Inrichtingen decided to exit the small arms production business altogether, and ceased all production of the AR-10 under its license from Fairchild-ArmaLite. By that time, fewer than 10,000 AR-10s had been produced, mostly military select-fire rifles, with a few semi-automatic only rifles produced for civilian use. All A.I. AR-10 parts inventories, tooling, and prototypes were either sold or scrapped; the barrel tooling was sold to Israel sometime in the early 1960s. All AR-10 production records, design drawings, manuals, literature, and other publications then in inventory were discarded.

Gilmore Girls
Why isn't Gilmore Girls mentioned in the list of shows that Zee Cafe airs? I think it should be mentioned, cause it's a very popular show all around the world.

Neutral point of view
I know nothing about Indian television, but the sections about competition, ratings and especially "future" seem a bit opinionated to me. If these are widespread opinions, they should be cited (perhaps with a reference from a cultural commentator or Indian TV critic?); otherwise, they should be deleted. Please see WP:NPOV; articles should reflect facts and notable, cited opinions. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 05:54, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree. I think the future and competition sections should be deleted and the ratings section should remain only if it is rephrased and cites references for the information.

RE:Neutral point of view
I agree with you, but i feel "parsi90" the creator of this page should have a "say" before it's deleted/modified to suit the content. I'm adding "Gilmore Girls" to the list.

Program list
I invite and  to discuss their concerns here. I take no position on including this content or not, but there is a difference between a list of programs airing on a TV station and a programming guide for said station(featuring a list of times various programs are on). Also, NOTTVGUIDE does state that "historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable", although a list of current programs aired doesn't necessarily seem "historic" in nature. 331dot (talk) 10:30, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment The page that is being removed is not "a programming guide schedule" but a simple list of former and current programming. Ive stated by opinion below. Thanks. JayB91 (talk) 10:40, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

What is the point in removing Programme Listing? NOTTVGUIDE is being misused to remove programme listing; it refers not making the page look like "TV Schedule". Former and current programming is hardly representative of TV schedule. List of programs broadcast by ABC Television, List of programmes broadcast by TVNZ, List of programs broadcast by NBC, List of programs broadcast by American Broadcasting Company are prime example of current and former programming list on Wikipedia; Infact the entire Wikipedia almost all channel page has Programming listing Either written into channel page or created as an individual page. I see no point that this particular channel page, that too so well referenced has been singled out? JayB91 (talk) 10:36, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * @JayB91 has attempted to undo the list removal on the basis of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Most of the programming guides on other television articles should be removed as well. In general these lists are indiscriminate and poorly sourced. The one exception to this is original programming, which does allow for some of these lists to exit - theses are almost always separate to the parent article. For this article there is no evidence that any of the shows being original to this network. Ajf773 (talk) 17:56, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Poorly sourced? The list you removed most of them were heavily sourced by reputable publications. Infact removing the list the page has become from a very well referenced to stub category page. How in world is that a constructive edit? You think if there should be another programming page for the particular channel then I will create one. On basis of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS; I will just say that on entire Wikipedia almost every channel page has a programming section and most of non-originals are listed under "Acquired programming" section. You said "Most of the programming listing on other television articles should be removed as well." Should we change the way we generally write Wikipedia now? JayB91 (talk) 21:54, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * There were some sources, including facebook posts and blog links which are considered self-published and unreliable - therefore not reputable. Majority of the list was still unsourced, however that is not the point as sourced content does not automatically mean it belongs. The lists are of indiscriminate nature of which is not encyclopdic. WP:NOTTVGUIDE is also relevant, it is not limited to schedules. We should not have Acquired programming sections, Wikipedia is not a television fansite. I don't have time to cleanup every single network article, yours were targeted due to some other edits you tried to undo of mine. Ajf773 (talk) 23:08, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * "We should not have Acquired programming sections" Its your opinion not of Wikipedia's general consensus. " I don't have time to cleanup every single network article" Why target particularity this one?. Yes it has some official Facebook links but it also has many links from Times Of India, Daily News and Analysis which are hardly "blog links which are considered self-published and unreliable". Also we don't particlualry source every single programming on Wikipedia; otherwise the page will become one huge gigantic balloon of references which will be twice the size of page content. Fansite details means cruff trivial content which has no relation with the channel page in general; Programming section is NOT "fansite nonsense"; every Wikipedia channel page in general uses them. I strongly suggest you let the programming section be there with "Acquired tags" and remove the the few so called Facebook links but dont just blindly remove the entire section calling it WP:NOTTVGUIDE. JayB91 (talk) 20:45, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Again WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. We don't make the assumption that it is okay to add content to one particle because it exists on a similar article. There is no rules against excessive use of references, in fact it is strongly encouraged, due to the fact unreferenced content may be challenged and removed. Programming sections are fine so long as individual programme demostrate an level of important to the particular broadcaster (such as original programming) ... standalone lists of programmes (including acquire) generally are not. Ajf773 (talk) 23:16, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Indian Conference-Abstracting Database (ICon-AD)

ICon-AD is a growing database of abstracts of papers presented at conferences held in India. The ICon-AD was conceived keeping the status of Indian conferences and publication trends in mind. It is observed that not all conference organizers publish the conference proceedings during the conference or post-conference. But publishing conference papers holds importance because conferences always focus on the ongoing or futuristic trends of a particular domain.In this view, the ICon-AD was launched as to bring the abstracts of each paper presented at conferences on one platform. It aims to archive all the abstracts of the papers received from the conference organizers. The beta version of the project launched in January, 2014, has archived 1220 abstracts of 1597 authors (till 1st Feb. 2015). The pilot study on the project highlights processes related to archival and dissemination of conference abstracts, facts, figures, utilities, processes involved and limitations and opportunities for ICon-AD.

Project Launch

ICon-AD is one of the not-for-profit initiatives of Library and Information Centre of Nagindas Khandwala College (NKC), Mumbai (affiliated to University of Mumbai). The Library has been promoting open access movement especially among the teaching fraternity and research scholars. The ICon-AD and short-term certificate course (COIST) for research scholars (www.cosit.weebly.com) are its lead initiatives to propagate the same.

The ICon-AD comprises abstracts of papers presented at various conferences organised by Indian colleges, universities, corporate firms, government agencies etc. It aims to archive all the abstracts received by Indian organisers of conferences. It also acts as a connecting platform between organizing institutes, authors and readers.As the database is a beta version, efforts are being made to make it a full-pledge abstracting database of conference abstracts.

Features and Utilities

 * ICon-AD is a single-window for abstracts submitted to the Indian organisers of conferences.
 * Readers can read, refer, cite, share link and download hundreds of abstracts.
 * It acts as an institutional repository of the conference organsiers to share, archive and access their old conference abstracts. Also, it can be one of the best practices of the contributing institute and the same may be appreciated by UGC-NAAC or AICTE or similar/any regulatory body.
 * The database acts as a link between reader and author of the abstracts and connects them for further sharing of information or intellectual discussion.
 * The themes/sub themes of the abstracts enhance the popularity of the organizer/s, authors and their theme of the papers.The authors and their abstracts may receive citations (in view of the above point (d)).

ICon-AD Portal

An official portal of ICon-AD was launched in January, 2014. The portal links the ICon-AD database (see Figure-1). The portal comprises the features of the database, guidelines for contributor of abstracts, frequently asked questions, list of conference organizers and Project Volunteers who helped share the abstracts of their institutes, contact details of the host, brochures of the project and application form to join the database.

Guidelines for Contributors

The host has set certain guidelines for its contributors for submission of abstracts. (i) ICon-AD allows conference organizers to share the (conference) abstracts of any domain. Before submitting the abstracts, the contributor needs to ensure that each abstract contains the title of the paper followed by name of the author/s, their affiliation, employer details, e-mail ID, body of abstract followed by at least three keywords. (ii) The word limit of each abstract should be 300-400 words. (iii) After verifying these, the submitter needs to add all the conference abstracts in a single MS-Word file and send the same by e-mail or in the form of CD-ROM.Hard copy (printed) of the abstracts is not acceptable.(iv) Along with the abstracts, submission of duly filled-in Permission to Archive Abstracts (PAA) is a must.The organizer may also send the copy of a conference brochure/pamphlet/proceeding along with the abstracts and PAA.

Project Volunteers

The person associated with the organizer of the conference, as a faculty or administrator or researcher, can become the ICon-AD Project Volunteer. He/she need to coordinate with the institute and host (ICon-AD team)and share the old conference abstracts. The name and affiliation of such Volunteer is added on the ICon-AD’ sportal (see Figure-1). The Volunteer also gets Certificate (of appreciation) from ICon-AD team for sharing the abstracts and thus propagating the open access movement indirectly. A registered Volunteer is also expected to create awareness about the utilities of the project among their colleagues and peers. The Volunteer may also help in getting the abstract of any conference/s organised by other academic institutes by orienting them to the features and utilities of the project.
