Chinese kin

A Chinese kin, lineage or sometimes rendered as clan, is a patrilineal and patrilocal group of related Chinese people with a common surname sharing a common ancestor and, in many cases, an ancestral home.

Description
Chinese kinship tend to be strong in southern China, reinforced by ties to an ancestral village, common property, and often a common spoken Chinese dialect unintelligible to people outside the village. Kinship structures tend to be weaker in northern China, with clan members that do not usually reside in the same village nor share property.

Zupu—the genealogy book
A zupu is a Chinese kin register or genealogy book, which contains stories of the kin's origins, male lineage and illustrious members. The register is usually updated regularly by the eldest person in the extended family, who hands on this responsibility to the next generation. The "updating" of one's zupu is a very important task in Chinese tradition, and can be traced back thousands of years. After several generations, the local clan lineage will often publish a compendium of these zupus. The overwhelming majority of zupus remain in private hands, though a large number may be found in the Peking University, Shanghai Library, Cornell University and Tōyō Bunko.

Chinese lineage associations
Chinese lineage associations, also kinship or ancestral associations ( or ), are a type of social relationship institutions found in Han Chinese ethnic groups and the fundamental unit of Chinese ancestral religion. They gather people who share the same surname belonging to the same kin, who often have the same geographical origin (ancestral home), and therefore the same patron deities. They are not seen as distinct from the Chinese kin itself, but rather as its corporate form. These institutions and their corporeal manifestations are also known as lineage churches or kinship churches, or, mostly on the scholarly level, as Confucian churches, although this term has principally other different meanings.

Chinese kinship associations are the corporate forms of kins and the fundamental unit of Chinese ancestral religion. They provide guanxi (social network) to members and they build and manage ancestral shrines or temples dedicated to the worship of the progenitors of the kins as their congregational centers, where they perform rites of unity.

A lineage is a corporation, in the sense that members feel to belong to the same body, are highly conscious of their group identity, and derive benefits from jointly owned property and shared resources. Benefit derives from the surplus income of ancestral shrines and homes, which is reinvested by the managers or shared out in yearly dividends. Benefit of belonging to a lineage can also be measured in terms of protection and patronage. Ancestral temples also support local schools and engage in charitable work.

Different lineages may develop through the opposite processes of fusion and segmentation. They can also be dispersed and fragmented into "multi-lineage areas" or concentrated in one place, or "single-lineage area".

Ancestral shrine

Ancestral temples or shrines are the congregation places of lineage associations, by whom they are built and managed. These temples are devoted to the worship of the progenitors of a certain kin, where the kin members meet and perform rites of unity and banquets.

Consort kinship
In Imperial times, a consort kin was a kin with special status due to its connection with an emperor. Throughout Chinese history, consort kins have exercised great power at various times. There have been several usurpations of power by consorts, the most notable being the Han dynasty's Empress Dowager Lü, the Tang dynasty's Empress Wu , and the Qing dynasty's Empress Dowager Cixi. The Han dynasty usurper Wang Mang was a nephew of the Grand Empress Dowager Wang.

Qing period
During the Qing dynasty, the imperial government encouraged Chinese kins to take up some quasi-governmental functions such as those involving social welfare and primary education.

Dawson Creek

Dawson Creek is a city in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. The municipality of 24.37 km2 had a population of 12,978 in 2016. Dawson Creek derives its name from the creek of the same name that runs through the community. The creek was named after George Mercer Dawson by a member of his land survey team when they passed through the area in August 1879. Once a small farming community, Dawson Creek became a regional centre after the western terminus of the Northern Alberta Railways was extended there in 1932. The community grew rapidly in 1942 as the US Army used the rail terminus as a transshipment point during construction of the Alaska Highway. In the 1950s, the city was connected to the interior of British Columbia via a highway and a railway through the Rocky Mountains. Since the 1960s, growth has slowed, but the area population has increased.

Dawson Creek is located in the dry and windy prairie land of the Peace River Country. As the seat of the Peace River Regional District and a service centre for the rural areas south of the Peace River, the city has been called the "Capital of the Peace". It is also known as the "Mile 0 City", referring to its location at the southern end of the Alaska Highway. It also has a heritage interpretation village, an art gallery, and a museum. Annual events include a fall fair and rodeo.

History
Dawson Creek is named after the watercourse of the same name, itself named after George Mercer Dawson who led a surveying team through the area in August 1879; a member of the team labelled the creek with Dawson's name. The community that formed by the creek was one of many farming communities established by European-Canadian settlers moving west through the Peace River Country. When the Canadian government began issuing homestead grants to settlers under the Dominion Lands Act in 1912, the pace of migration increased. With the opening of a few stores and hotels in 1919 and the incorporation of the Dawson Creek Co-operative Union on May 28, 1921, Dawson Creek became a dominant business centre in the area. After much speculation by land owners and investors, the Northern Alberta Railways built its western terminus 3 km (2 mi) from Dawson Creek. The golden spike was driven on December 29, 1930, and the first passenger train arrived on January 15, 1931. The arrival of the railway and the construction of grain elevators attracted more settlers and business to the settlement. The need to provide services for the rapidly growing community led Dawson Creek to incorporate as a village in May 1936. A small wave of refugees from the Sudetenland settled in the area in 1939 as World War II was beginning. The community exceeded 500 people in 1941.

Upon entering the war, the United States decided to build a transportation corridor to connect the US mainland to Alaska. In 1942, thousands of US Army personnel, engineers, and contractors poured into the city – the terminal of rail transport – to construct the Alaska Highway. The highway was completed in less than a year; even after the workers involved in its construction departed, population and economic growth continued. In February 1943, a major fire and explosion in a livery barn, packed with road-building supplies including dynamite, caused serious damage to the center of town; five people were killed and 150 injured. Dawson Creek became a RCAF station during WWII, in September 1944. The station disbanded in March 1946.

By 1951, Dawson Creek had more than 3,500 residents. In 1952, the John Hart Highway linked the town to the rest of the British Columbia Interior and Lower Mainland through the Rocky Mountains; a new southbound route, known locally as Tupper Highway, made the town a crossroads with neighbouring Alberta. The next year, western Canada's largest propane gas plant was built and federal government offices were established in town. In 1958, the extension of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway to the Peace from Prince George was completed, and the village was re-incorporated as a city. Between 1951 and 1961, the population of Dawson Creek more than tripled. The RCAF center reemerged on October 1, 1956, and was declared functional in 1958. It was disbanded a final time in March 1964.

Growth slowed in the 1960s, with the population reaching its all-time high in 1966, but area population increased. In the 1970s, the provincial government moved its regional offices from Pouce Coupe to the city, Northern Lights College opened a Dawson Creek campus, and the Dawson Creek Mall was constructed. Several modern grain elevators were built, and the town's five wooden grain elevators, nicknamed "Elevator Row", were taken out of service. Only one of the historic elevators remains, converted to an art gallery. Since the 1970s, with the nearby town of Fort St. John attracting much of the area's industrial development and Grande Prairie becoming a commercial hub, the town's population and economy have not significantly increased.

Since 1992, the city has undergone several boundary expansions. One expansion incorporated undeveloped land in the southeast for an industrial park and a Louisiana-Pacific Canada veneer factory. The city extended sewer and water lines to the location; however, the area was not developed and with the factory only half-built, L-P Canada abandoned its plans. A business making manufactured homes bought the factory and completed its development in 2005. Another expansion incorporated the existing oriented strand board factory in the northwest corner of the city, while further incorporations have included undeveloped land to the south and north.

Demographics
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Dawson Creek had a population of 12,323 living in 5,405 of its 6,189 total private dwellings, a change of NaN% from its 2016 population of 12,178. With a land area of 26.72 km2, it had a population density of in 2021.

The 1941 census, the first to include Dawson Creek as a defined subdivision, counted 518 residents. Its growth spurred by the construction of the Alaska Highway, the town recorded a sevenfold increase to 3,589 residents in the 1951 census. Within five years, the population more than doubled to 7,531. New transport links with southern British Columbia and Alberta spurred continued growth into the next decade.

The population peaked in 1966 at 12,392, then declined throughout the 1970s, rising again briefly during the construction of the nearby town of Tumbler Ridge in the early 1980s. Dawson Creek's population has remained relatively stable since then. Between 2005 and 2009, the population rose from 10,869 to 11,514, per provincial estimates.

According to the 2016 Canadian census, there was an average household size of 2.3 persons, similar to the provincial average of 2.4 persons. One-person households made up 32% of total households, slightly above the 29% average provincewide, leaving the average family size to be 2.9 persons.

The median age decreased from 38.8 years in 2001 to 34.4 in 2016 with 53% of those over 15 years of age being married (or common law), lower than the 58% provincial average. Only 46% of residents over 15 years old had a post-secondary certificate (including degree, diploma and trades certificate), compared to the provincewide rate of 55%. Among those aged 25–64, 17% did not have a high school certificate or equivalent, higher than the 10% provincewide rate.

As of the 2016 Canadian census, nearly 16% of the city's population belong to an Aboriginal group (Métis or First Nations) with an additional 10% belonging to a Visible minority group (primarily Filipino and South Asian).

Religion
According to the 2021 census, religious groups in Dawson Creek included:
 * Irreligion (7,170 persons or 59.4%)
 * Christianity (4,385 persons or 36.3%)
 * Sikhism (205 persons or 1.7%)

 * Indigenous Spirituality (10 persons or 0.1%)

Geography
At the foot of Bear Mountain ridge, the city developed around the Dawson Creek watercourse which flows eastward into the Pouce Coupe River. The city is located on the Pouce Coupe Prairie in the southwestern part of the Peace River Country, 72 km southeast of Fort St. John, and 134 km northwest of Grande Prairie, Alberta. According to the Canada Land Inventory, the city is on soil that has moderate limitations, due to an adverse climate, that restrict the range of crops or require moderate conservation practices. The land is flat, but slopes upwards in the northeastern corner elevating a residential area over the rest of the city.

The city is in the British Columbia Peace Lowland ecosection of the Canadian Boreal Plains ecozone on the continental Interior Platform. Located in the Cordillera Climatic Region, it lies at the southern end of a subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc). In the summer, the city is often dusty and arid; temperatures during the day are warm, but cool at night, typically falling below 10 °C. Highs reaching 30 °C occur only twice per year on average. Heavy rain showers are sporadic, lasting only a few minutes. In the winter, the city can get bitterly cold and dry, with 17 to 18 days of -30 °C lows per year. It is subject to very strong winds year round. Unlike most of the province, the city and its region use Mountain Standard Time (UTC−07:00) all year round, since the area already has long daylight hours in the summer and short daylight hours in the winter. In other words, residents of the region never change their clocks – Pacific Daylight Time is used during the spring, summer and early fall, and Mountain Standard Time during the late fall and winter.

Climate
Dawson Creek has a subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc), bordering on a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) due to its short summers. Summers are generally warm and rainy with cool nights and low humidity. Winters are very cold, some of the coldest in British Columbia with moderate snowfall. Winter is the longest season, lasting from the end of October to the beginning of April. Summer is typically 2 to 3 months, from June through August. Spring and Autumn are usually short seasons, lasting one to two months in length. A freeze has been recorded for every month of the year including all the summer months. Precipitation peaks during July, likely due to thunderstorm activity.

Economy
The economy of Dawson Creek is based on four major industries: agriculture, retail, tourism, and oil and gas. Agriculture has historically been the most important industry to Dawson Creek, as the city is the regional transshipment point for agricultural commodities. The city is surrounded by the Agricultural Land Reserve, where the soil can support livestock and produces consistently good yields of quality grain and grass crops, such as canola, hay, oats, alfalfa, wheat, and sweet clover. The service and retail sector caters to the city's inhabitants, smaller nearby towns, and rural communities. However, there is significant retail leakage to Grande Prairie, the closest major Alberta city, where there is no provincial tax on retail purchases, while British Columbia charges 7%. In 2006, the BC government rejected a proposal to lower the sales tax in the province's border communities to 4%. The problem of leakage has been exacerbated in recent years by the introduction of large-format retail stores into the small city. Residents still cross the border for high-priced items but now also purchase medium- and low-priced items from foreign-owned large-format chain stores.

Dawson Creek has a large tourism industry as Mile "0" of the Alaska Highway. Thousands of people drive on the highway every year, starting in Dawson Creek and ending in Fairbanks, Alaska. The trek is often made with recreational vehicles, sometimes in convoys which gather in the city. In the winter, the hospitality industry caters to workers from the oil patches. Discoveries south of Dawson Creek and higher energy prices have spurred oil and gas activities, which have in turn driven the nearby Fort St. John economy to spill over to the Dawson Creek economy. British Columbia's first wind farm, Bear Mountain Wind Park, was constructed southwest of the city in 2009.

Transportation and infrastructure
Dawson Creek's road network was laid out in the mid-20th century as the town rapidly expanded. The city maintains 88 km (55 mi) of paved and 11 km (7 mi) of unpaved roads. The primary roads generally follow a grid pattern around large blocks of land. Because the grid contains many internal intersections with stop signs, traffic is forced onto two arterial roads: 8 Street going north–south and Alaska Avenue going southeast–northwest. These two roads meet at a traffic circle where a metal statue marks the beginning of the Alaska Highway, and the Mile Zero Post is now located. Officially designated British Columbia Highway 97, it runs north from Dawson Creek to Fort St. John and the Yukon – where it becomes Highway 1 – before reaching Alaska. The other highways emanating from Dawson Creek are the John Hart Highway, also 97 (southwest to Chetwynd and Prince George), Highway 2 (south to Grande Prairie and southern Alberta), and Highway 49 (east to Peace River and northern Alberta). A road with few intersections along the southern and western borders of the city, incorporating a stretch of Highway 2, is designated as a "dangerous goods route" for heavy trucks so that they can avoid traveling through the city. However, Highway 49 has no direct access to such a ring road, so many trucks bound to or from the east use the city arterials, slowing traffic and damaging roads.

Dawson Creek is a regional node for air and rail services. The Dawson Creek Airport, which services commercial flights by Central Mountain Air, was built in 1963; its 1,524 m (5,000 ft) runway was paved in 1966. There are larger airports in Fort St. John and Grande Prairie that maintain more comprehensive flight schedules. Passenger rail service was available in Dawson Creek between 1931 and 1974. Service began when the Northern Alberta Railways (NAR) built its northwest terminus in the town and was extended in 1958 to Vancouver with a rail line through the Rocky Mountains. Passenger rail service ended as commodity shipments of grains, oil and gas by-products, and forestry products became more important in the resource-based economy.

The city draws its water supply from the Kiskatinaw River, 18 km (11 mi) west of town. Before reaching the city, the water is pumped through a settling pond, two storage ponds, and a treatment plant where it is flocculated, filtered, and chlorinated. The city also provides drinking water for Pouce Coupe and rural residents. Sewage is processed by a lagoon system east of town and released into the Pouce Coupe River.

Education
Dawson Creek is located in School District 59 Peace River South which maintains four elementary schools (Tremblay, Frank Ross, Crescent Park, and Canalta elementary schools), and one high school (Dawson Creek Secondary School).

Mountain Christian School, and Ron Pettigrew Christian School are K-12 private schools located in the city. There is also Notre Dame which is a K-7 Catholic school.

Established in 1975, Northern Lights College has a campus in Dawson Creek that houses its Regional Administration and two Centres of Excellence. At Northern Lights College, students can earn a one-year certificate, a two-year diploma or associate degree, or complete upgrading courses to get their high school diploma.

Culture and recreation
The cultural identity of Dawson Creek rests on its designation as Mile "0" of the Alaska Highway. The Mile "0" post, depicted in the city flag, was located the traffic circle a few blocks to the northeast, but has been relocated to in the historic downtown area, one block south of the Northern Alberta Railways Park. The four-acre (1.6 ha), mostly paved NAR Park is the gathering point for travelers. The park includes the Dawson Creek Art Gallery, which exhibits work by local artists and craftsmen. The Station Museum, connected to the art gallery, displays artifacts and exhibits associated with the construction of the NAR railway and the Alaska Highway. Other parks in Dawson Creek include the Mile Zero Rotary Park and the Walter Wright Pioneer Village. Annual events in the city include the Dawson Creek Art Gallery auction, the Dawson Creek Spring Rodeo, and the Peace Country Blue Grass Festival. The largest event, held annually since 1953, is the Dawson Creek Fall Fair & Exhibition — a five-day professional rodeo, with a parade, fairgrounds, and exhibitions.

City recreation facilities include two ice hockey arenas, a curling rink, an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor ice rink, and a speed skating oval. The South Peace Community Multiplex, a new facility completed in 2010, boasts a pool, indoor rodeo grounds and ice rink. Voters approved building the Multiplex in a 2004 referendum which projected its cost at C$21.6 million. The project became controversial when construction began and the cost projection was raised to $35 million. The facility is located close to the city's exhibition grounds, away from residential uses. It features an indoor rodeo arena and a 4,000-seat convention centre/ice arena with skyboxes. Nearby Bear Mountain, located south of the city, provides over 20 km (12 mi) of snowshoeing and cross-country skiing trails, as well as areas for downhill skiing and about 500 km (300 mi) of trails for snowmobiles, mountain bikes, and all-terrain vehicles. The city was once home to a North American Hockey League team, the Dawson Creek Rage, beginning in the 2010–11 season until it ceased operations in 2012 due to financial difficulties.

Media
Dawson Creek is served by several regional newspapers. The Dawson Creek Daily News (formerly Peace River Block Daily News) and Fort St. John's Alaska Highway News, both part of the Glacier Ventures chain of local papers, are daily available in the city. The Vault Magazine is a free alternative newspaper available in the city bi-weekly. The Northeast News, a free weekly published in Fort St. John, has a sub-office in Dawson Creek. The only radio station broadcasting from the city is 890 CJDC AM, which first went on air in 1947. Originating in Chetwynd, 94.5 Peace FM (CHET) is rebroadcast in Dawson Creek on CHAD-FM 104.1. The Fort St. John stations 95.1 Energy FM (CHRX), 101.5 The Bear FM (CKNL), and 101.1 The Moose FM (CKFU) also reach the city. Also available locally is CBKQ-FM 89.7, repeating CBC Radio One station CBYG-FM from Prince George; and CBUF-FM-7 93.7 FM, repeating Première Chaîne station CBUF-FM from Vancouver.

CJDC-TV, a long-time affiliate of CBC Television before moving to a CTV 2 affiliation in 2016, has been broadcasting from Dawson Creek since 1959. A local community group, the Cable 10 Society, operates a community television station. Dawson Creek is also served by local repeater CFSN-TV channel 8, owned locally by Dawson Creek Hypervista Communications and repeating CTV station CFRN-DT Edmonton in analogue. As of 2016, CBC Television service in the area is maintained only through pay television means.

Government and politics
The City of Dawson Creek has a council-manager form of municipal government. A six-member council, along with one mayor, is elected at-large every four years. Current mayor Darcy Dober assumed the position following an election win over Council member Shaely Wilber in October 2022. Previous mayors of the city have included Dale Bumstead (2013–2023), Mike Bernier (2008–2013), Calvin Kruk (2005–08), Wayne Dahlen (2001–05), Blair Lekstrom (1997–2001), Bill Kusk (1994–96) and Robert Trail (1967–75, 1982–93). The city government administers infrastructure and services such as the provision of drinking water, sewage and garbage collection, fire protection, recreational facilities (including parks, trails and arenas), roadway maintenance, snow removal, library services, street lighting, public transportation, and the airport. The city also partially funds a 22-officer Royal Canadian Mounted Police municipal detachment. For creating its Community Energy Plan, which involved the installation of low-voltage street lights and solar-powered hot water heaters, the city was awarded the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' 2007 Sustainable Community Award. City council appoints one person, usually the mayor, to serve as a board director with the Peace River Regional District. Concurrent with municipal elections, residents also elect two school board trustees to School District 59 which consists of seven trustees.

For representation in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Dawson Creek is situated in the Peace River South provincial electoral district and is represented by Mike Bernier of the British Columbia Liberal Party. Bernier has been the Member of the Legislative Assembly since 2013 provincial election and prior to that served as mayor of Dawson Creek between 2008 and 2013. His predecessor, Blair Lekstrom, also served as mayor of Dawson Creek between 1996 and 2001 before being elected as the MLA. Before Bernier and Lekstrom, Peace River South was represented by Dawson Creek resident Jack Weisgerber. Weisgerber was first elected in 1986 as a member of the Social Credit Party and served as the province's Minister of Native Affairs for three years. While the Social Credit Party lost power in 1991, Weisgerber was re-elected and served as interim party leader. He joined the Reform Party of British Columbia in 1994 and won re-election in 1996 as party leader, even though Dawson Creek polls put him in third place behind the BC Liberal Party and New Democratic Party candidates.

Federally, Dawson Creek is in the Prince George—Peace River—Northern Rockies riding, represented in the House of Commons of Canada by Conservative Party Member of Parliament Bob Zimmer. Before Zimmer, who was elected in May 2011, the riding was represented by Jay Hill since 1993. The riding was represented by Frank Oberle of the Progressive Conservative Party from 1972 to 1993. Oberle served as Canada's Minister of Science and Technology in 1985 and Minister of Forestry in 1989.

Dhalsim's glitch?
Dhalsim's "disappear" glitch in SF2:WW. Why was this removed? Too technical? I've had many people ask me how to do this move over the Kaillera server, it's far more interesting than his super moves in subsequent games - all of which are listed in the instruction manuals anyway. You stated: "(overtechnical, removed. Sim doesn't have a glitch section like Guile does)" When the reason he doesn't have a Glitch section is because not many people know of his glitches. I know of 1 glitch (the one you removed) and I'm sure a section can be added if any more are discovered. As I said before, many people are interested in learning this trick, even if you are not. I was under the impression that Wiki' was a place for everyone to enjoy, not just a select few.

Lock
There have recently been edits to his page that fall under "vandalism", I propose we lock it.

Curry
"According to the English language Street Fighter II manual, eating spicy Indian curry gave Dhalsim the ability of fire breathing, but this was rewritten to being a gift from Agni, the Indian god of fire."

I looked through all the SNES SF2 manuals and I didn't find this anywhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.40.11.120 (talk) 06:20, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I think that factoid actually came from the GamePro Strategy Guide, though I can't say it with certainty. JuJube (talk) 06:27, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Vegetarianism
Yesterday I tried to place the Dhalsim article in the Fictional Vegetarians category. My entry was deleted.

I choose to argue against this decision, as there are two bases for categorizing Dhalsim as a vegetarian. 1. Meat is listed as one of his dislikes. 2. In the character basis section of the article, it is stated that vegetarianism is one of the tenets that he lives by.

It is with this in mind that I believe Dhalsim should be categorized as a fictional vegetarian. I ask anyone who believes otherwise to speak up and explain why they believe the way they do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Afrikanpygmy (talk • contribs) 05:09, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Now that I look back on it, I'm not really sure. There's nothing in the plot guide indicating he lives by vegetarianism, and he likes curry, a dish which generally includes meat, although there are vegetarian versions.  I think I'd need to see something that specifically says he's a vegetarian which Capcom espouses before I add it, but I'm not as opposed as I was before. JuJube (talk) 05:39, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Regarding the likes/dislikes big, you have to remember even though Zangief is listed as having pretty women as a dislike, it's still up in the air if he's gay or not. So disliking something doesn't always equate to an extreme. Not saying you're wrong of course, just you'd be better off with a better cited point.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 07:24, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Abilities
I suggest we have an abilities section, as I believe this removal guarantees the removal of the categories. So, how about it? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:11, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah I kinda think that does need to go somewhere. JuJube (talk) 17:37, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * JuJube, can you bring it back as an abilities section? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 20:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks man. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 23:59, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Images
I don't agree with this edit. The one where he hovers demonstrates an ability, it goes in the ability section. The other is better off as a lead image since it is a clearer representation of the character. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:01, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Yoga teleport
IIRC, on the Super NES (this probably holds for other platforms), the Yoga Teleport was available in SF2 Turbo/Hyper fighting but not in SF2, so I think we should add it to the article because the current phrasing lets think that this move was available in all versions. Apokrif (talk) 15:30, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Max Brand

Frederick Schiller Faust (May 29, 1892 – May 12, 1944) was an American writer known primarily for his Western stories using the pseudonym Max Brand. As Max Brand, he also created the popular fictional character of young medical intern Dr. James Kildare for a series of pulp fiction stories. His Kildare character was subsequently featured over several decades in other media, including a series of American theatrical movies by Paramount Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), a radio series, two television series, and comics. Faust's other pseudonyms include George Owen Baxter, Evan Evans, Peter Dawson, David Manning, John Frederick, Peter Henry Morland, George Challis, and Frederick Frost. He also wrote under his real name. As George Challis, Faust wrote the "Tizzo the Firebrand" series for Argosy magazine. The Tizzo saga was a series of historical swashbuckler stories, featuring the titular warrior, set in Renaissance Italy.

Death
During early 1944, when Faust, Frank Gruber, and fellow author Steve Fisher were working at Warner Brothers, they often had idle conversations during afternoons, along with a Colonel Nee, who was a technical advisor sent from Washington, D.C. One day, charged with whiskey, Faust talked of getting assigned to a company of foot soldiers so he could experience the war and later write a war novel. Colonel Nee said he could fix it for him and some weeks later he did, getting Faust an assignment for Harper's Magazine as a war correspondent in Italy. While traveling with American soldiers fighting in Italy in 1944, Faust was wounded mortally by shrapnel.

Riding boot

A riding boot is a boot made to be used for horse riding. The classic boot comes high enough up the leg to prevent the leathers of the saddle from pinching the leg of the rider, has a sturdy toe to protect the rider's foot when on the ground and has a distinct heel to prevent the foot from sliding through the stirrup. The sole is smooth or lightly textured to avoid being caught on the tread of the stirrup in the event of a fall.

The modern riding boot is relatively low-heeled, with a heel of less than one inch, though historically a higher heel was common, as it has always been critically important for riding boots to prevent the foot from slipping through the stirrup. Today, only some styles of cowboy boot retain a higher heel than other modern riding boots.

English riding designs
For the riding disciplines that fall into the category of English riding, there are a number of different styles of riding boots, intended for different styles of riding, from horse shows, to pleasure riding. Tall boots, which end just below the knee of the rider, include field, dress, and hunt boots. These are standard show apparel, worn by all competitors in the hunter/jumper and dressage disciplines. A lower paddock boot that stops just above the ankle, is worn by children, by some show competitors in the UK, Australia, and by those that show Saddle seat.

Field boots: so called because they were traditionally worn by officers ranked "field grade" or higher, have lacing at the vamp, which allows for some give so the rider is more comfortable riding with the highly flexed ankle that develops from the shorter stirrup length required for work over fences. Therefore, field boots are preferred in all jumping disciplines, including Hunt seat equitation, show jumping, fox hunting, and both jumping phases in eventing. They are also worn by police officers riding motorcycles or on mounted patrols, and by some police agencies as part of their "Class A" uniform or with ceremonial mounted units. The majority of field boots are black, although brown-colored boots may also be purchased.

Dress boots: do not have lacing at the ankle, and are generally stiffer. They are worn by dressage riders, eventers in the dressage phase, and at formal fox hunts. They are also worn by riders of show jumpers. Dress boots are traditionally black in color. A recent fad is dress boots for dressage that are cut to go extra high on the outside of the knee.

Hunt boots, or Top boots: like the dress boot, except it has a "cuff" at the top. The boot is usually black, with a tan cuff (traditional for male riders). It is appropriate for fox hunting.

Paddock boots, also known as Jodhpur boots, are short boots that come just above the ankle, used most often for pleasure riding and everyday use. They are also required for Saddle seat style riding and are frequently worn by children when showing in hunt seat disciplines because they are less costly for rapidly growing children than are tall boots. They are sometimes combined with half chaps, a type of gaiter also known as chapettes, for added protection or to give the visual impression of a tall boot. The lace-up style is primarily seen in hunt seat riding, whereas the elastic-sided Chelsea boot design is seen in both hunt seat and saddle seat disciplines. The elastic side boot is also commonly used in Australia as a riding boot and dress boot. They are part of the required attire in Australian Stock Horse turnout competitions and for Pony Club riding. Heavier versions, such as Blundstone boots, are made for general work and gardening but are not suitable for riding owing to their heavy, deep-grooved soles.

Field boots (and many paddock boots) have an extra layer of leather on the toe, called a toe cap. All styles have somewhat tapered, round toes. Current styles include zip-on boots, with a zipper running down the back of the calf of a tall boot or the front of a paddock boot, making them easier to put on and remove without aid of boot hooks or a boot jack.

Brown tall boots (field or dress) were somewhat more common before World War II, when the English riding habit lost popularity outside of formal and/or horse show events. The U.S. Army, whose officers had worn high brown boots in World War I, abandoned the practice by the late 1930s. For a time, some show sanctioning organizations did not allow brown boots, considering them to be casual attire, although the rule has been relaxed somewhat.

Cowboy boots

For western riding and showing, western riders wear cowboy boots, with either the high "cowboy" or "riding" heel; the intermediate, somewhat lower "walking" heel; or the low, "roper" style heel that is similar to that of English boots. The uppers may vary in height. The lowest is the "roper" style that stops just a bit above the ankle, about an inch or so higher than the English paddock boot. The most classic length is the mid-calf height that keeps the fenders of a western saddle from chafing the ankle and calf of the rider. The tallest cowboy boots are seldom seen outside of fashion venues, but have an upper that reaches nearly to the knee, are usually extensively decorated, but in the modern day are seldom used for actual horse riding. For pleasure riding, lace-up or zip-up boots similar to English paddock boots, have become popular in recent years, though the classic pull-on boot still is common. Cowboy boots are traditionally made of smooth cowhide, though occasionally a boot style may be of a suede or "roughout" look. However, the uppers of more expensive designs may be made of leather obtained from somewhat exotic creatures, including alligator, ostrich and snakeskin.

Materials

Traditionally, English riding boots are made of smooth leather, usually cowhide, or occasionally pigskin, and most show boots remain thus due to the classic look. However, synthetic leather, vinyl and other materials are becoming more common. Quality of leather varies, with softer, finer-quality increasing the value of the boot. For formal wear, patent leather is occasionally seen, particularly in jodhpur boots designed for saddle seat horse show classes held after 6:00 pm, when formal attire may be worn in certain types of competition.

For casual riding, riders often wear well-worn show boots, but also may take advantage of new boot designs modeled after the athletic shoe or hiking boot that have been created, using space age synthetics and breathable materials to create what essentially is a "tennis shoe with a heel."

Talk:Gloria Stivic

October 2008
The infobox says Gloria worked part-time at a department store, but the main text says full-time. Which is correct, if either? Also, what does "She is the only character to appear on three related shows of All in the Family" mean? Joey appeared not only on All in the Family itself, but also on Archie Bunker's Place, Gloria, and 704 Hauser. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:50, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * With respect to Gloria's work, I suggest: "Gloria worked at Crestlor's department store, during a period." This is the reality as she did not work during the first season, she worked at the store later, she stopped after she gave birth to Joey and did not return before their move to California. --Jazzeur (talk) 00:11, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Liquid cooling

Liquid cooling refers to cooling by means of the convection or circulation of a liquid.

Examples of liquid cooling technologies include:

 * Cooling by convection or circulation of coolant, including water cooling
 * Liquid cooling and ventilation garments, worn by astronauts
 * Liquid metal cooled reactors
 * Radiators (engine cooling)
 * Cooling towers

Computing
In computing and electronics, liquid cooling involves the technology that uses a special water block to conduct heat away from the processor as well as the chipset. This method can also be used in combination with other traditional cooling methods such as those that use air. The application to microelectronics is either indirect or direct. The former pertains to the category that utilizes cold plate cooling, which uses water as coolant while, in the latter (also referred to as liquid immersion cooling), the surface of the chips comes in contact with the liquid since there is no wall separating the heat source from the coolant. This immersion cooling also offer a higher transfer coefficient, although this depends on the specific coolant used and mode of convective heat transfer. One of the main benefits achieved is the reduction of noise and it is also more efficient. Some of the drawbacks include the risk entailed with the close proximity of liquid to electronics as well as its cost. Liquid cooling systems are more expensive than fan sets, which require less components such as reservoir, pump, water blocks, hose, and radiator.

HVAC
Liquid cooling is also used to remove heat from large buildings by using chillers which transfer the coolant from the evaporator to air handling units, chilled beams and fan coil units inside the building, and to the cooling towers from the condenser if the condenser is liquid-cooled. Some buildings are directly cooled by the cooling towers using plate heat exchangers transferring the heat from the chiller condenser loop to the evaporator loop. Convective heat transfer is used to cool the coolant if the building uses dry or closed-circuit cooling towers.

Liquid cooling garments
Liquid Cooling Garments (LCG) are used to decrease the wearer’s bodily temperature and keep them comfortable. Generally, an LCG uses a series of coolant-filled tubes and a refrigeration unit and a pump to move the coolant throughout the system. These parts are usually encased inside of a normal garment, usually a vest. Since the coolant is so close to human skin, water tends to be the preferred coolant, as it is both safe for skin contact and effective at transferring heat. Due to their portable and versatile nature, LCGs have been proposed as a solution to overheating in areas where a standard air conditioning system would not be feasible or where the cooling would need to be under protective gear.

The current revision works well. - Mihnea Tudoreanu

The need for kitchens
I took this out: "It seems he also intended the refectories to eliminate the need for kitchens in personal apartments." We all know that Ceausescu was nuts, but to include this assertion here, we need a citation. Dmaftei 16:46, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Rahova
This says "A fourth mall in a hunger circus is curently being built in Rahova." Was there more than one of these in Rahova? Because there is certainly one there (along the tram line of the 8, 11, and 12) that is simply sitting as an insta-ruin. - Jmabel | Talk 13:51, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I've added a picture to the article of the insta-ruin in Rahova. Is this the one someone claims is being turned into a mall? Or is there another? - Jmabel | Talk 23:56, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

"Sfânta Vineri"
"Sfânta Vineri" Street is translated here as "Saint Friday Street". I believe this would be Saint Paraskevi. - Jmabel | Talk 06:16, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

 * You made a good point, since "Sf. Vineri" and "Sf. Paraschiva" (I'm using Romanian notation) are quite intricated. The story deserves some details.

 * The present "Sfânta Vineri" Street got its name from the "Sfânta Vineri" Church (its full name was "Sfânta Vineri-Herasca").

 * Its exact location was at the cross-way of "Calea Cǎlǎraşilor" with "Sfânta Vineri" Street. The Coral Temple is just across the street, on the other side of "Calea Cǎlǎraşilor". (Actually,  between the Coral Temple and "Calea Cǎlǎraşilor" there was a 19th century building, presumably an inn. After razing it, they built another awful apartment block, just as they did across tge street, on the ruins of the former "Sfânta Vineri" church.)

 * The "Sfânta Vineri" Church was the most popular church in Bucharest and its metropolitan area. Living for years in the proximity of that church, I always was impressed by the crowds of believers attending there. The main reason for this was the presence of a sanctified icon of the Saint Paraschiva.

 * Adoring the icon of Saint Paraschiva in a church called Saint Friday points out to two layers of religious faith functioning in a synchretic way:

 * - a relatively recent one, devoted to a "main-stream" orthodox saint - the Paraschiva
 * - a much older stratum of faith, dedicated to the latin deity "Venera" which became the Romanian Saint "Vineri".

 * In the traditional, rural Romanian society, the Saint Friday ("Sfânta Vineri") was a very powerfull and important saint, responsible, among other things, for family and love matters, just as its latin mother Venera. For instance, in the Romanian fairy-tales Sfânta Vineri is a common and strong presence, testing mortals and rewarding/punishing them, according to their deeds.

 * It is known that the Christian Church recuperated pagan deities in its favor (actually, every new religion builds on the ruins of the old ones): many Christian saints absorbed traits and competencies of their pagan predecessors. However, the Sfânta Vineri cult impresses with its direct pagan filliation and its unbowed vitality.

 * Besides, one of the most important cemeteries in Bucharest is the "Sfânta Vineri cemetery", located on the Calea Griviţei.

 * It seems that the existence of a church devoted to Saint Friday has a quite long tradition (for Romanian conditions, at least), dating from the 14-15th century. Bringing into that church an icon of the popular Saint Paraschiva, was like a second attempt to recuperate the good old Venera, this time for the benefit of the BOR (Romanian Orthodox Church).

 * Yet, I don't think that the Romanian Orthodox hierarchy was too sympathetic to this pagan-christian synchretic cult of Saint Paraschiva in the Saint Friday church. Fact is, the church has been torn down under highly dramatic circumstances, of which I was a witness and actor, in the late 1987.

 * Perhaps, an article to witness about the church, its cult and tragic end, would not be inappropriate.

 * Anyway, a new Sfânta Vineri Church is emerging in the Bucharest's southern district of Berceni.

 * Some main churches of Bucharest listed here:

 * Sorry for being to long.
 * --Vintila Barbu 18:17, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Hmm. We have nothing on Saint Friday. But we are often weak on Orthodox saints. Think you could start something? And the church would also probably be worth an article. - Jmabel | Talk 06:13, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

You know how the French say: "Promising is noble, keeping is bourgeois" (!!) (Promettre c'est noble, tenir c'est bourgeois") I'll try anyway. --Vintila Barbu 14:06, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Guánica Bay

This page is an archive of the discussion surrounding the proposed deletion of the page entitled Guánica Bay.

This page is kept as an historic record.

The result of the debate was to delete the article.

In Spanish and, offhand, it looks like near-drivel. I was half inclined to speedy-delete, but there is enough here that there might be something substantive in it that belongs somewhere in Wikipedia (although this certainly does not have the makings of an article). -- Jmabel 07:03, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. This belongs on the Spanish Wikipedia, which is where it should move. 66.245.24.217 14:13, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, do not move to Spanish WP. It appears to be about family history and disputed property ownership, although I'm not entirely sure -- could be I don't understand Spanish well enough, or could be it's just incomprehensible. Be that as it may, it is certainly a personal essay. There is a Guánica Bay in Puerto Rico -- delete this and wait for someone to write about that locale. Wile E. Heresiarch 14:50, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
 * I speak Spanish, and I can say that the article is gibberish. Delete. Chameleon 20:50, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Well, delete then. --Wyllium 22:41, 2004 May 27 (UTC)
 * Grimaldi? Sounds like the Monaco royalty to me. My modest Spanish skills cannot determine whether to move it to the spanish wiki but in any case it doesn't belong here. Delete. Rdsmith4 02:05, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * This is pure and unadulterated nonsense. Trust me: I am a native Spanish speaker. Delete fast. Delete furiously. Sir Paul 17:13, Jun 1, 2004 (UTC)

This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue or the deletion should be placed on other relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.
