Smoking in Uruguay | short description |
150px|right
150px|right
Smoking in Uruguay in enclosed public spaces became illegal on 1 March 2006. On that date, bars, restaurants or offices where people are caught smoking began facing fines of more than $1,100 or a three-day closure. Uruguay was the first country in Latin America to ban smoking in enclosed public spaces.
Anti-smoking groups estimate that as many as a third of Uruguay's 3.4 million people smoke. Uruguayan President Tabaré Vázquez, an oncologist, has cited reports suggesting about seven people die each day in Uruguay from smoking-related causes including lung cancer, emphysema and other illnesses.Public smoking ban takes effect in Uruguay 2 March 2006 tobaccofree.org
To help promote the plan, president Vazquez launched a campaign called "A Million Thanks," which is a reference to the number of Uruguayan smokers. So far, the campaign seems to have won these people over, as an opinion poll conducted by the Ministry of Public Health states that close to 70% of the country's smokers support the legislation.Uruguay implements smoking ban Dominion Paper
The president was the impetus behind the government-decreed measure, which is among the world’s toughest and is similar to bans already in place in Ireland, Sweden, and Norway.Uruguay smoking ban toughest in Latin America 2 March 2006 hispanictips.com |
Smoking in Uruguay | History | History
The history of tobacco companies in Uruguay begins with the creation of the Compañía Industrial de Tabacos Monte Paz S.A., founded in 1880. Represented the brands: Nevada, Coronado and California, among others.
In 1945 the company Abal Hermanos S.A. appeared as representative of the brands: Marlboro, Benson & Hedges, Silver Mint, Philip Morris, Casino, Next and L&M. The British American Tobacco (BAT) was selling tobacco as well as cigarettes. He retired from Uruguay on 21 April 2010, when he represented brands: Kent, Kool, Lucky Strike and Pall Mall. |

Seems like an advertisement. Makes vague claims of notability, but they come down to what I believe are self-published books and having his own medical practice. Unless there's more evidence of notability than the article's vague assertions, I don't think he's really notable. Adam Cuerden talk 17:42, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete, absolutely no neutral non-trivial second party sources shown. One of the books mentioned does not mention Sankaran in any meaningful context. No opinion about the other references AlfPhotoman 23:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Strong keep In the field of homeopathy, Sankaran is one of the most widely-quoted and respected living homeopaths in the world (probably second only to Vithoulkas who is much older) and his research is considered ground-breaking, so I'm stunned that the article is proposed for deletion. He appears at sold-out lectures around the world. His software is widely used by homeopaths. His books are prominently featured at homeopathic suppliers. If we're going to have ANY articles about homeopathic practitioners Sankaran should be there. This AFD has been proposed by someone who obviously has zero knowledge or interest in this field. Here's an accurate bio . I also note that the article doesn't mention the dozens of articles which Sankaran has published in homeopathic journals. An incomplete list is found here Radar, probably the largest and most professional homeopathic software program, relies heavily on Sankaran's work . --Lee Hunter 15:54, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Keep. A Google search indicates that he is notable. The article could do with some good references, though. utcursch | talk 13:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete. Not notable. Most references are vanity publications and publicity links. Notability is not based on number of links. Adding to wikipedia would only help in establishing this kind of notability. Shyamal 03:46, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
This could be a keep had the subject not been aliveShyamal 07:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
The issue of self-published books is a complete red-herring. His books are widely distributed and available anywhere that professional literature on homeopathy is sold. They've also been incorporated into the main commercial homeopathic databases and they've been reviewed and discussed in journals in his field. I don't understand why you think being dead makes one a better candidate for notability. I've done some cleanup of this article and added links to more journal reviews. --Lee Hunter 12:37, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Important note I've just discovered that the link to "Sankaran's clinic" that has been in the article since last August was inserted by someone who fraudulently poses as Sankaran. Now I understand why people would think Sankaran is just some guy with a clinic in Bombay. I've replaced that link with the correct URL for Sankaran's site. --Lee Hunter 14:11, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Gila Pueblo Archaeological Foundation | Short description | right|thumb|Gila Pueblo logo
The Gila Pueblo Archaeological Foundation was a research organization dedicated to conducting archaeological research in the American Southwest and surrounding areas. It was founded in 1928 in Globe, Arizona, by Harold S. Gladwin and his wife, Winifred (McCurdy) Gladwin.Haury, Emil W. (1992) Emil Haury's Prehistory of the American Southwest: Edited by J. Jefferson Reid and David E. Doyel, Tucson & London: The University of Arizona Press The foundation ceased operations in 1950. |
Gila Pueblo Archaeological Foundation | Beginning | Beginning
Harold S. Gladwin was a former New York City stockbroker who eventually left his position and moved to Santa Barbara, California. In Santa Barbara, he met his future wife, Winifred, and William North Duane, who introduced Gladwin to his cousin, the archaeologist A.V. Kidder. Gladwin spent two field seasons with Kidder in northern Arizona, during which his passion and curiosity for the Southwest grew. This experience ultimately inspired him to establish the Gila Pueblo Archaeological Foundation.Emil Walter Haury, May 2, 1904 – December 5, 1992 | By Raymond Harris Thompson, Caleb Vance Haynes, Jr., and James Jefferson Reid | Biographical Memoirs |
Gila Pueblo Archaeological Foundation | Research | Research
With Harold S. Gladwin's backing and funding, the Gila Pueblo Archaeological Foundation was able to conduct extensive excavations and research throughout the American Southwest. One of the most significant contributions made by the foundation was the definition of the Hohokam culture, a task in which the young archaeologist Emil Haury played a key role. In 1930, Haury became the assistant director of Gila Pueblo. Another major accomplishment of the foundation was the identification and definition of the Cochise culture.Sayles, E.B., and Ernst Antevs (1941) The Cochise Culture, Medallion Papers: Gila Pueblo, Globe, Arizona
In 1950, Gila Pueblo ceased operations and donated its collection to the Arizona State Museum, located on the University of Arizona campus. The collection was unveiled in 1951 during the inauguration of University of Arizona President Richard A. Harvill. The records of the foundation are held by the Arizona State Museum Library & Archives, with the finding aid available on Arizona Archives Online. The building that housed the foundation, now part of Eastern Arizona College, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. |

Casterton College | Use dmy dates | Casterton College, Rutland (previously Casterton Business and Enterprise College (CBEC) and Casterton Community College) is one of three secondary schools in the county of Rutland, England.
Located in the village of Great Casterton, the school provides education for eleven- to sixteen-year-olds, as well as a Childcare Centre for the under fives and an adult education programme. It opened as Great Casterton Secondary Modern School in 1939. |
Casterton College | Geography | Geography
The catchment area is the eastern part of Rutland including Cottesmore, Empingham and Ketton but the college attracts many of its students from Stamford, across the Lincolnshire boundary. |
Casterton College | History | History
In December 1986, the school was given a drinks licence by Rutland magistrates.
In 1988, plans submitted for new modern languages classrooms and a science laboratory, to cost around £120,000.Peterborough Standard Thursday 16 June 1988, page 98
An Ofsted 14-strong team investigated the school in January 1994, and the report said that the school was 'well-managed and operating with clear policies'. Improvements were urged by Ofsted, according to the report. The second Ofsted inspection was in March 1998.
In the November 1993 speech day, prizes were handed out by the Chairman of Leicestershire County Council, Duncan Lucas.Rutland Times Friday 27 May 1994, page 17
In November 1995 the principal wanted the school to be grant-maintained, given parental support in December 1995. There were now 750 at the school.Rutland Times Friday 24 November 1995, page 12 |
Casterton College | Independent Rutland | Independent Rutland
From April 1997 the school was part of an independent Rutland unitary authority. The Millennium Block was opened on Wednesday 25 August 1999, with nine new classrooms.Rutland Times Friday 27 August 1999, page 3
In November 1999, the prizes were handed out at the speech day by Gp Capt David Walker, the station commander of RAF Cottesmore.Rutland Times Friday 26 November 1999, page 5 |
Casterton College | Academy | Academy
Prior to academy conversion, the school had been rated as ‘outstanding’ in 2010. In December 2014, Ofsted rated the college as ‘requires improvement’ in all areas (teaching, behaviour, leadership and achievement). The then principal Victoria Crosher defended the fall in rating as partly due to changes in the "C" boundary at GCSE.
With the withdrawal of the Tresham Institute from providing post-16 education in Rutland, CBEC in 2010 took over responsibility for Rutland College which was renamed Rutland County College. In 2015 it consulted on moving its entire sixth form from Oakham to its Casterton site. However, in March 2017, the college announced that the sixth form would be closing as not enough students showed interest to study there.
Casterton College is joined with Ryhall Primary School and also with Casterton Childcare Centre. This means that the total group of education ranges from nursery to 16: Casterton Childcare Centre, Ryhall Primary School, Casterton College. |

Air traffic service | Short description | In aviation, an air traffic service (ATS) is a service which regulates and assists aircraft in real-time to ensure their safe operations. In particular, ATS is to:
prevent collisions between aircraft; provide advice of the safe and efficient conduct of flights;
conduct and maintain an orderly flow of air traffic;
notify concerned organizations of and assist in search and rescue operations.
The ATS further provides four services:
air traffic control services, which is to prevent collisions in controlled airspace by instructing pilots where to fly;
air traffic advisory service, used in uncontrolled airspace to prevent collisions by advising pilots of other aircraft or hazards;
flight information service, which provides information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flights;
alerting service, which provides services to all known aircraft.
An ATS route is a designated route for channeling the flow of traffic as necessary for the provision of air traffic services. This include jet routes, area navigation routes (RNAV), and arrival and departure route. Routes may be defined with a designator; a path to and from significant points; distance between significant points; reporting requirements; and the lowest safe altitude. |

Recently European ATS service providers are facing a greater change on the European market, with the introduction of Single European Sky, that divides Europe into "functional airspace blocks" – which is replacing the old, national airspace blocks. |

Ambrosius Hubrecht | short description | Ambrosius Arnold Willem Hubrecht (2 March 1853, in Rotterdam – 21 March 1915, in Utrecht) was a Dutch zoologist. Among his prominent contributions was the evolution of placental mammals.
Hubrecht studied zoology at Utrecht University with Harting and Donders, for periods joining Selenka in Leiden and later Erlangen, and Gegenbauer in Heidelberg. He graduated magna cum laude with Harting in 1874 with a study on nemertine worms. In 1875–1882 he worked at the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie in Leiden, where he was the curator of ichthyology and herpetology,Beolens, Bo; Watkins, Michael; Grayson, Michael (2011). The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. . (Hubrecht, p. 127). and in 1882 became professor at Utrecht. In 1890–1891 he traveled in Java, Sumatra, and Borneo, where he made embryological studies, notably on the tarsier. He visited the United States in 1896 and 1907. Honorary degrees were conferred on him by Princeton University, the University of St Andrews, the University of Dublin, the University of Glasgow (LL.D 1901), and the University of Giessen.
Hubrecht´s most important work was in embryology and placentation of the mammals. In papers in the Quarterly Journal of Microscopial Science in 1883 and 1887 he put forth the theory—also held by Sir E. Ray Lankester—that the vertebrates originated in a Nemertine form, basing this on his discovery in the Nemertines of a continuous nerve sheath. The Descent of the Primates (1897) is the title under which were published his lectures at the sesquicentennial celebration at Princeton.
In 1883 he became member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Hubrecht founded the Institut Internationale d'Embryologie, today known as the International Society of Developmental Biologists. |

John Paul Jones (athlete) | short description | John Paul Jones (October 15, 1890 – January 5, 1970) was an American track athlete who set several world records in the mile, including the first mile record to be ratified by the International Association of Athletics Federations in 1913. |
John Paul Jones (athlete) | Biography | Biography
Jones entered Cornell University in 1909, majoring in mechanical engineering. He showed little initial promise in track, not making the team until his last year and not impressing until his last race. An extremely popular and handsome man, Jones worked long hours on his studies, played basketball and tennis in the summer and ran as a pastime. As a senior, he was selected for membership in the Quill and Dagger society.
But he worked and trained hard as a runner and had the most successful coach of the era, Jack Moakley. Initially a cross country runner, he easily won the freshman intercollegiate championships and, in the fall of his second year, won the IC4A cross country championship.
On May 27, 1911, Jones ran in the IC4A championships at the Soldiers Field Soccer Stadium in Allston, Massachusetts in front of 12,000 spectators. Entered in the mile, Boyle of Penn State led at the quarter in 59 followed by his teammate Wilton Paull. Jones hung back in fifth place. Hanavan of Michigan State led at the half-mile mark with a 2:08, with Paull in second and Jones in third. Paull grabbed the lead at 1,000 yards, but Hanavan regained it for a lap. Then, Jones lengthened his stride and passed Paull and Hanavan, winning by 10 yards. His time: 4:15, a new amateur world record, finally surpassing Thomas Conneff's 4:15 set 16 years earlier. However, the time was inferior to the professional record of 4:12 set by Walter George in 1886.
Jones was not done for the day. He additionally ran and won the 880 yards to give Cornell the IC4A championship.
He spent the summer playing baseball and tennis, won the IC4A cross country championship again in the fall, then tied for first in the mile with a 4:20 at the 1912 IC4A. He won the 880 in a collegiate record time of 1:53. |

He had no desire to compete in the Olympics but was talked into it and made the ship shortly before it departed for Stockholm.
The 1912 Olympic 1500 metre competition featured the greatest field of mile/1500 m runners ever assembled to that point. Besides Jones, the 1908 Olympic champion Mel Sheppard was entered, as was the speedy Arnold Jackson of Britain, and the promising miler Norman Taber from Providence, Rhode Island. Additionally, American Abel Kiviat, who held the world record in the 1500 m, was in the field.
Jones was not as prepared as he could have been as he could not train on the ship across the Atlantic, so Kiviat, who had set his 1500 m record of 3:55 only on 26 May of that year, barely missing Jones' mile record in the process, was favored.
In the end, Jackson prevailed in the final, held July 10, with Kiviat and Taber so close an official camera needed to be consulted to determine who won silver. Jones finished fourth. He also participated in the 800 metres event but was eliminated in the first round. At the same Olympics, he competed in the baseball event, which was held as demonstration sport.
Jones, out of the medals, won his third IC4A cross country championship that fall, then ran an indoor mile in 4:19 early in 1913 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. |

On 31 May, Jones ran again in the IC4A championships in Cambridge and was up against Olympic 1,500 m silver medalist Taber in the mile.
Taber led in the first three quarters, in 61.6, 2:09.3 and 3:16.1. But Jones launched into his drive as the bell for the final lap sounded, and Taber couldn't respond. He crossed the finish line in 4:14, a new world amateur record and the first mile record to be recognized by the new governing body of track and field, the IAAF, known then as the International Amateur Athletics Federation.
Jones subsequently lost his next race, the 880 yd, which proved to be his final race. He graduated from college and retired from the sport. |
