Mil Mi-10

The Mil Mi-10 (NATO reporting name Harke), given the product number izdeliye 60, is a Soviet military transport helicopter of flying crane configuration, developed from the Mi-6, entering service in 1963. While most versions had been retired by 2009, the short-legged Mi-10K was still in service as of 2014.

Design and development
The advent of the Mi-6 gave the Soviet Union the very useful ability to move and place large, bulky or heavy loads with precision. Limitations of the Mi-6 in the flying crane role included a weight to payload ratio and the inability of the crew to easily see the load and its intended final position. A Council of Ministers directive of 20 February 1958 tasked OKB-329 (OKB Mil) with the development of a dedicated flying crane helicopter for carrying bulky loads unable to be carried in the hold of an Mi-6.

The Mil OKB's response drew heavily on the Mi-6, utilising the dynamic components and 4100 kW Soloviev D-25V turboshaft engines, on a slim fuselage sitting on four tall strut braced undercarriage legs, with a wide track allowing the helicopter to taxi over loads, or for mobile loads to be moved underneath. The fuselage can carry 28 passengers inside the cabin as well as 3 tonnes of cargo loaded through a side door in the aft fuselage, by an integral boom and winch. Underslung loads can be attached directly to the fuselage by hydraulically operated clamps, or carried on a 8.5 x pallet lifted by the winch and braced by cables and/or struts to the undercarriage legs. The external sling system of the Mi-6, with a capacity of 8 tonnes could also be fitted under the centre fuselage.

The first prototype V-10 emerged with canted main undercarriage legs with single wheels on all four legs, as well as a retractable emergency escape chute extending below the cockpit and external auxiliary fuel tanks either side of the centre fuselage. As development progressed the main undercarriage legs were replaced with vertical units carrying twin wheels, twin nose undercarriage wheels after a period retaining the single wheels, an auxiliary power unit (APU) installed behind the cockpit on the starboard side and emergency escape slide cables for use when the pallet is carried.

The first prototype V-10 was completed in 1959 and was soon officially allocated the service designation Mi-10. The first flight took place on 15 June 1960 and flight testing continued successfully until in May 1960 the first prototype crashed during a precautionary landing resulting from loss of gearbox oil pressure, only the Navigator/ radio operator surviving. After joining the flight test programme the second prototype began a series of world record breaking altitude/payload flights for turbine powered helicopters. State acceptance trials were passed successfully in 1961, but production did not commence until 5 March 1964 at the Rostov-on-Don factory, with first flight of a production aircraft on 10 September 1964, leading to a total of forty of the long-legged Mi-10 helicopters built, from 1964 to 1969.

An early production Mil Mi-10 was exhibited in western Europe for the first time at the June 1965 Paris Air Show at Le Bourget Airport.

Mi-10K (short legged version)
The limitations of the Mi-10 in the slung load mission soon became obvious, chiefly, the loss of payload due to the heavy and complicated undercarriage, and more importantly the almost complete lack of oversight of the slung load, despite the inclusion of a CCTV (closed circuit television) system intended for observation of slung loads.

Foregoing the requirement to carry palleted or podded cargoes, Mil redesigned the Mi-10 with a much shorter, fixed, four-leg undercarriage and replaced the extendible escape chute with a gondola fitted with flying controls for a pilot to fly the aircraft during slung load operations. The remainder of the aircraft is essentially identical with the long-legged version. Seventeen of the new flying crane were produced as the Mi-10K, including two conversions from Mi-10s from 23 March 1974 to 1977.

Operational service
The operational service of the Mi-10 was of moderate success, being distributed mainly to units of the VVS (Voyenno-Vozdushnyye Sily, Soviet Air Force) which already operated the Mi-6. Operations with no load were found to be unstable, and the best procedure for take-off was found to be a rolling take-off, which usually also resulted in nose-wheel shimmy when lightly loaded. The main mission of the early Mi-10 virtually evaporated with the improvements in contemporary ballistic missiles; thus the majority of the long-legged variants were converted to Mi-10PP (or Mi-10P) airborne Electronic Counter-Measures helicopters, carrying a large ST-900 Step (Steppe) ECM pod under the fuselage mounted on a pallet.

Other Mi-10 long legged aircraft were converted to carry out a wide variety of missions but usually only as single prototypes. Of special note was the Mi-10R (R for recordnyy, record) record breaking helicopter, converted from a production machine, with the undercarriage of an Mi-6 fitted with fairings and spats, as well as a tail bumper to reduce the risk of damage to the rear fuselage on landing.

World records
The Mi-10R has held seven world records, none of which are still current, in the FAI E1 General class for rotorcraft powered by turbine engines.

Abane Ramdane

Abane Ramdane (June 10, 1920 – December 26, 1957) was an Algerian political activist and revolutionary. He played a key role in the organization of the independence struggle during the Algerian war. His influence was so great that he was known as "the architect of the revolution". He was also the architect of the Soummam conference Bejaia in 1956 and was very close to Frantz Fanon.

In the spring of 1957, rifts developed between Ramdane and other major figureheads in the National Liberation Front (FLN). At the time, there was an internal struggle between the military and civil factions in the FLN, and Ramdane was accused of creating a "cult of personality".

On December 24, 1957, Ramdane was instructed to travel to Tétouan, Morocco with Krim Belkacem and Mahmoud Cherif to meet with King Mohammed V. They arrived on December 26. Once in the country, Abdelhafid Boussouf picked them up in a car. While the exact nature of Ramdane's death is unknown, with contesting stories told by those involved, Ramdane was killed. He was "super-political" and his murder was disturbing to many FLN members including President and member of Oujda Group, Houari Boumediene who, according to the 1977 book by Alistair Horne, A Savage War of Peace: Algeria 1954-1962, kept the assassins out of his future Algerian government.

A few years after independence, he was reburied in his native village of Azouza in Tizi Ouzou Province.

Kenneth Feinberg

Kenneth Roy Feinberg (born October 23, 1945) is an American attorney specializing in mediation and alternative dispute resolution. He served as the Chief of Staff to Senator Ted Kennedy, Special Master of the U.S. government's September 11th Victim Compensation Fund and the Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation. Additionally, Feinberg served as the government-appointed administrator of the BP Deepwater Horizon Disaster Victim Compensation Fund. Feinberg was also appointed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to administer the One Fund—the victim assistance fund established in the wake of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. Feinberg was also retained by General Motors to assist in their recall response and by Volkswagen to oversee their U.S. compensation of VW diesel owners affected by the Volkswagen emissions scandal. Feinberg was hired by The Boeing Company in July 2019, to oversee distribution of $50 million to support 737 MAX crash victim families. Feinberg is also an adjunct professor at the Columbia University School of Law, University of Pennsylvania Law School, Georgetown University Law Center, New York University School of Law, the University of Virginia School of Law and at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.

Life and career
Feinberg was born to a Jewish family in Brockton, Massachusetts. He received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst in 1967 and a J.D. degree from the New York University School of Law in 1970. He worked for five years as an administrative assistant and chief of staff for U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy and as a prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney General. Before founding his own firm The Feinberg Group (now the Law Offices of Kenneth Feinberg) in 1993, he was a founding partner at the Washington office of Kaye Scholer LLP.

Feinberg has served as Court-Appointed Special Settlement Master in cases including Agent Orange product liability litigation, Asbestos Personal Injury Litigation and DES Cases. Feinberg was also one of three arbitrators who determined the fair market value of the Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination and was one of two arbitrators who determined the allocation of legal fees in the Holocaust slave labor litigation. He is a former Lecturer-in-Law at a number of U.S. law schools.

Feinberg was the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation.

September 11 Victim Compensation Fund
Appointed by Attorney General John Ashcroft to be Special Master of the fund, Feinberg worked for 33 months entirely pro bono. He developed the regulations governing the administration of the fund and administered all aspects of the program, including evaluating applications, determining appropriate compensation and disseminating awards.

History of participation
Early in the process he was described as aloof and arrogant. Feinberg was subjected to some very public criticism at meetings, in the media and on Web sites. "I underestimated the emotion of this at the beginning", Feinberg has said. "I didn't fully appreciate how soon this program had been established after 9/11, so there was a certain degree of unanticipated anger directed at me that I should have been more attuned to."

It was up to Feinberg to make the decisions on how much each family of a 9/11 victim would receive. "It's a brutal, sort of cold, thing to do. Anybody who looks at this program and expects that by cutting a U.S. Treasury check, you are going to make 9/11 families happy, is vastly misunderstanding what's going on with this program," said Feinberg. "There is not one family member I've met who wouldn't gladly give back the check, or, in many cases, their own lives to have that loved one back. 'Happy' never enters into this equation."

Feinberg was able to change the mind of some of his harshest critics. Charles Wolf, whose wife died in the north tower, renamed his highly critical Web site called "Fix the Fund" to "The Fund is Fixed!" At first he called Feinberg "patronizing, manipulative and at times, even cruel." He later remarked, "To have one of your sharpest critics follow through on a promise and not only join the program he was criticizing, but promote it to his peers, says a lot about you and the way you have adjusted both the program and your attitude...Today, I have complete faith in you."

In 2005 his book, titled What is Life Worth?: The Unprecedented Effort to Compensate the Victims of 9/11 was published.

Feinberg wrote that a widow of one firefighter cursed him, saying "I spit on you, and your children," for being unfair in his compensation awards.

The eight-part Feinberg plan
In his book titled What is Life Worth?, Feinberg described the eight-part plan which was applied to approaching the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund.

 * 1) Identifying someone with sufficient and exceptionally broad experience in mass tort action mediation, litigation, and settlement, which Feinberg possessed through his previous personal experience as a political activist and his work in the Agent Orange compensation settlement.
 * 2) To support and follow the law regarding the proportional compensation of victims based on estimated losses from future earnings, by hiring a full staff of accountants and attorneys to track and service each claim individually.
 * 3) Accumulate all the reports and applications, along with counter-claims to gauge and initiate the direct compensation process.
 * 4) The value of informed discretion in compensating claimants under the formula of keeping compensation under the rule of thumb that 85% of the money should not go to 15% of the 'richest' claimant families, by narrowing the gap between the largest and the smallest compensations paid to claimants.
 * 5) With a mind to the future, the process of the program should be maintained and serviced as a precedent for future courts to use in future compensation cases as needed. The actions taken should be uniform in their approach.
 * 6) There would be "no substitute for hard work and legal craftsmanship" of rigorous intellectual honesty.
 * 7) The support of Senator Edward Kennedy would be recognized throughout the process.
 * 8) Lawsuits were to be discouraged as contrary to the spirit of the law establishing the compensation fund.

Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund
On July 5, 2007, a Virginia Tech press release said that Feinberg would work pro bono as the chief administrator to the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund (HSMF). The HSMF was set up by the Virginia Tech Foundation in the aftermath of the April 16, 2007, shooting attacks on the Virginia Tech campus.

Special Master for Executive Compensation
On June 10, 2009, Feinberg was appointed by the U.S. Treasury Department to oversee the compensation of top executives at companies which have received federal bailout assistance. As part of his policies, he has suggested to many bank executives that they emphasize long-term stock compensation rather than cash payments.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, in a statement about Feinberg's rulings on executive pay, said, "We all share an interest in seeing these companies return taxpayer dollars as soon as possible, and Ken today has helped bring that day a little bit closer."

BP oil spill fund
On June 16, 2010, it was reported that Feinberg was to run a $20 billion fund to pay claims for the BP oil spill. President Obama said that the $20 billion from BP "will not be controlled by either BP or by the government. It will be put in an escrow account administered by an impartial, independent third party." Obama said he and BP's chairman, Carl-Henric Svanberg, agreed on having Feinberg administer the fund. Feinberg was also selected by Obama to oversee the compensation of top executives at bailed out banks.

BP is agreed to pay Feinberg's six-lawyer Washington, D.C., firm, Feinberg Rozen, a flat fee of $1,250,000 a month for labor and overhead costs, but the full details of compensation are unknown. Feinberg has come under harsh criticism from public interest groups for refusing to disclose the amount of his compensation or the details of his arrangement with the company.

On December 6, 2010, the Center for Justice & Democracy (CJ&D) sent a letter to Robert Dudley, the CEO of BP, concerning "serious new issues raised about the lack of transparency and potential conflicts of interest related to the administration of the Gulf Coast Claims Facility." In the letter, CJ&D pointed out actions taken by Feinberg in the administration of the compensation fund that point to serious conflicts of interest:

"Mr. Feinberg, employed by BP, has decided on his own authority that all claims recipients must release all companies who caused this disaster from any and all legal responsibility, no matter how grossly negligent they were. This sweeping release, which assigns victims' claims to BP, benefits only one actor: BP – the company that happens to pay Mr. Feinberg's salary."

In January 2011, Judge Barbier, the federal judge over the oil spill litigation, after hearing evidence and arguments of the attorneys, ruled that Kenneth Feinberg was not independent of BP and could no longer claim to be so. Feinberg had been telling victims he was their lawyer and did not answer to BP.

The letter also criticized Feinberg's lack of transparency in the matter of compensation:

"Despite repeated calls for the release of documents establishing the formal relationship between BP and Feinberg Rozen, as well as its subcontractors who are reviewing and adjudicating claims, almost nothing has been publicly released. And now we learn, as reported by Reuters on November 22, 2010, that BP and Feinberg Rozen consider their arrangement 'verbal,' i.e., they have not committed to writing the firm's compensation arrangement so there can be no public examination of it. Is the public to believe that there is no paper evidence at all documenting a $10 million per year financial arrangement between BP and Feinberg Rozen? What about the contracts between BP, Feinberg Rozen and the subcontractors who are advising and adjudicating claims and also being paid directly by BP? Surely these contracts must be in writing and released. This failure to release the terms of all these financial arrangements under circumstances of tremendous historic and public significance is simply unacceptable."

Penn State settlement
On September 12, 2012, Feinberg was hired by Penn State University to aid in the settlement of dozens of personal injury claims against the institution stemming from the sex abuse scandal involving Jerry Sandusky. Four months later, Feinberg said that he expected settlement discussions with 28 people to yield results within a matter of weeks.

Aurora victim relief fund
Feinberg oversaw the disbursement of donations to the injured victims and families of the deceased in the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shooting that left 12 people dead and 70 others wounded.

The Newtown-Sandy Hook Community Foundation
In June 2013, Newtown-Sandy Hook Community Foundation was given permission from the Connecticut Attorney General to distribute $7.7 million from the fund. A committee of three, headed by a retired U.S. District Court judge, was being advised by Kenneth Feinberg.

General Motors car recall
On April 1, 2014, General Motors announced it had retained Feinberg to handle part of its response to a widely reported product safety recall. GM said Feinberg would serve as a consultant "to explore and evaluate options in its response to families of accident victims whose vehicles are being recalled for possible ignition switch defects."

Special Master to Oversee Treasury Implementation of Multiemployer Pension Reform Act Regulations
The U.S. Department of the Treasury released proposed and temporary regulations to implement the Kline-Miller Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014, as required by Congress. In Kline-Miller, Congress established a new process for multiemployer pension plans to propose a temporary or permanent reduction of pension benefits if the plan is projected to run out of money. As part of Treasury's commitment to ensuring an open and fair process, Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew appointed Kenneth Feinberg as a Special Master to help provide a dedicated, impartial and informed review of applications proposing to reduce pension benefits. Feinberg will oversee Treasury's implementation of Kline-Miller, including the review of applications to determine whether they meet the requirements set by Congress. He will also ensure that affected stakeholders have a single point of contact dedicated to this process.

Volkswagen emission scandal
In February 2016, it was announced that Feinberg would be heading up the compensation fund for Volkswagen. This fund will be established to compensate the roughly 600,000 U.S. owners of diesel vehicles whose emissions are over the legal limit.

Terrorism compensation fund
In March 2016, the United States Department of Justice appointed Feinberg to oversee the Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund.

In re Foreign Exchange and Benchmark Rates Antitrust Litigation
As a mediator, Kenneth Feinberg served as a mediator to help resolve price-fixing antitrust claims brought against a group of financial institutions. Working as the agreed-upon neutral, he helped secure comprehensive settlements in the billions of dollars, and thereafter helped to design and administer a compensation program to distribute settlement proceeds to eligible claimants.

Archdiocese of New York Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program
In 2016, the Archdiocese of New York established the Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program run by Kenneth Feinberg. This Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program (the "IRCP") follows in the wake of initiatives already implemented by the Archdiocese of New York (the "Archdiocese") to address the problem of sexual abuse of minors alleged against clergy of the Archdiocese. The IRCP is a new program designed to compensate eligible victims of abuse. During past years, the Archdiocese has received various individual complaints alleging sexual abuse by clergy of the Archdiocese. This Protocol outlines the eligibility criteria requirements and the process for these individuals to submit and resolve claims alleging such sexual abuse. This Protocol governs only those individual claims previously submitted to the Archdiocese and will be considered Phase I of a two-phase Program.

United Methodist Church
In 2019, Feinberg worked pro bono to mediate the impasse between representatives of factions within the United Methodist Church regarding its position on homosexuality. Consequently on January 3, 2020, the parties unanimously agreed to present a plan to the 2020 General Conference to spin off one or more traditionalist denominations and allow churches and denominations to leave or remain, while dividing church assets.

Roundup Product Litigation
In 2021, Feinberg was appointed as the Special Master in the Roundup Product Multi-District Litigation by the United States District Court, Northern California District. Feinberg is once again determining the value of a person's life to help Bayer settle thousands of law suits.

Personal life
Feinberg and his wife, Diane ("Dede") Shaff, have three children and four grandchildren.

He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters and gave the commencement address at Saint Anselm College in 2023.

Mil Mi-6

The Mil Mi-6 (NATO reporting name Hook), given the article number izdeliye 50 and company designation V-6, is a Soviet/Russian heavy transport helicopter that was designed by the Mil design bureau. It was built in large numbers for both military and civil use and was the largest helicopter in production until the Mil Mi-26 was put in production in 1980.

Design and development
The Mi-6 resulted from a joint civil-military requirement for a very large vertical-lift aircraft, which could be used to add mobility in military operations as well as assist in the exploration and development of the expansive central and eastern regions of the USSR. Flown for the first time on 5 June 1957, the Mi-6 was the first Soviet turboshaft-powered production helicopter.

The R-7 gearbox and rotor head developed for the project have a combined weight of 3200 kg, which is greater than the two turboshaft engines.

Variable-incidence winglets were first mounted on the craft's sides in 1960 to the 30 pre-series units. These wings provide approximately 20% of the lift required during cruise flight.

The Mi-6 was by far the world's largest helicopter when it was designed in 1954–56; with a maximum load capacity of 12,000 kg. It was also the world's fastest helicopter; with a top speed of 300 km/h. In its early days, the Mi-6 set many world records, including one for sheer circuit speed at 340 km/h (211 mph). , the Mi-6 still holds the FAI record of fastest 5-tonne lift over 1,000 km, in which it flew 284 km/h in 1962.

From 1959 to 1972 at least 500 units were built for various general-transport, utility, firefighting and flying-crane duties, the last two sub-types not being fitted with the large fixed wings, which in other versions bear part of the lift in cruising flight and thus enable higher speeds to be attained. The twin nose wheels and large low-pressure main wheels do not retract.

Normally flown by a crew of five or more, the Mi-6 seats 65 armed troops and can alternatively carry 41 stretcher (litter) patients and two attendants, or a wide range of bulky loads, including vehicles, loaded through rear clamshell doors. In exercises, fleets of these aircraft have airlifted many kinds of weapons, including FROG-7 rockets on their PT-76 tracked chassis, as well as large radars and heavy artillery. All Soviet armoured personnel carriers, armoured cars and light mechanised infantry combat vehicles can be carried.

The Mi-6 was finally retired in October 2002 with its Type Certificate Revoke by The CIS Interstate Aviation Committee after the crash of RA-21074 in the Taimyr Peninsula. There have also been reports that the wooden tail rotor blades have reached the end of their service life.

Mi-26 isn't a variant of Mi-6
Well, its obvious that Mi-26 is a really new helicopter, not a Mi-6 variant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.9.33.238 (talk) 13:54, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

ASW Helicopter
Is there a variant of it being an ASW helicopter as it certainly looks like one? 68.202.26.86 (talk) 09:08, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Variants; Mi-20?
I seem to remember that back in the early 1990's, one of the variants was also thought being called the Mi-20 with the military. Not sure any more which one, but I think this was the Mi-6VKP. Anybody out there who can confirm or deny? --Antheii (talk) 14:06, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Krim Belkacem

Krim Belkacem (عبد الكريم بلقاسم or كريم بلقاسم) (September 14, 1922, Aït Yahia Moussa, Tizi Ouzou Province – October 18, 1970) was the historic leader of the National Liberation Front during the Algerian War. As vice-president of the GPRA, he was the sole signatory of the Évian Accords on the Algerian side. After the 1965 coup d'état, he went into exile and was assassinated in Germany in 1970.

Biography
Krim was born in the village of Aït Yahia Moussa (now in Tizi Ouzou Province) in the Kabylie region of Algeria. During the Second World War, he joined the French Army, and was promoted corporal in the First Algerian Sharpshooter Regiment, reputedly becoming an excellent shot. Demobilized on October 4, 1945, he returned to his home village, where he took up a bureaucratic post. Krim joined the underground Algerian People's Party at the beginning of 1946, setting up clandestine cells in 12 villages around Draa el-Mizan. Accused of the murder of a forest warden in 1947, he was hunted and he joined the maquis under the Pseudonym of Si Rabah with Moh Nachid, Mohand Talah and Messaoud Ben Arab. Twice sentenced to death by French tribunals in 1947 and 1950, he became the Kabylie responsible of the PPA-MTLD paramilitary organization founded in February 1947 by Messali Hadj, the Organisation spéciale, at the head of 22 members of the resistance (maquisards).

During the Algerian War of Independence, Krim was chief of the FLN's 3rd Wilaya, Kabylie and its surrounding area. After his important role at the Soummam Congress—in which the FLN formalized its revolutionary program—Krim became one of the most important and powerful of all the FLN chiefs. He was the first to be Minister of Defense, then Foreign Minister, in the provisional Government of the Algerian republic (GPRA) in 1958, and Vice President of Algeria. Later he was the principal Algerian negotiator of the agreements of Évian in March 1962. Belkacem was in opposition to the creation of the Political Bureau of the FLN in July 1962 by Ahmed Ben Bella, Houari Boumédiène, and Mohamed Khider.

Political views and assassination
After the coup d'état of June 19, 1965, he returned to the opposition. Accused of having organized an attack against Boumediene in April 1967, manipulated and betrayed by part of his entourage, he was sentenced to death in absentia.

According to his daughter Karima, in an interview with El Moudjahid on March 25, 1998, Belkacem definitively gave up politics and went into exile in August 1967: "On August 4, 1967," she says, "he and the family hastily packed some effects into the family Volkswagen and drove all night to Morocco. The next day, he was sentenced in absentia." On October 17, 1967, he created with friends including Slimane Amirat, Colonels Amar Ouamrane and Mohand Oulhadj, the Movement for the Defense of the Algerian Revolution (MDRA), an underground party intended to fight against the Boumediene regime.

Two years later, on October 18, 1970, he was found strangled with his tie in a room at the Inter-Continental Hotel in Frankfurt, presumably by Algerian military security agents.

Talk:Sviatopolk II of Kiev

Untitled
Where was it recently demonstrated that Svyatopolk was illegitimate? I think that this reference should be added as a footnote or in a section titled "References" at the end of the article. --Theo (Talk) 10:40, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * There is a medieval iluminated manuscript known as "Gertrude Psalter" (also Egbert Psalter or Trier Psalter). It was originally created in late 10th century for archbishop Egbert of Trier, then in the 11th century it passed to Gertrude, wife of Iziaslav of Kiev. She included her prayer book as part of the codex, and in it she prays six times for Yaropolk, "unicus filius meus" (my only son). Gertrude is the only known wife of Iziaslav, and we have it on her own authority that Sviatopolk was not her son. It's also a good bet that Sviatopolk was older than Yaropolk, as he first becomes active politically in 1069, whereas Yaropolk doesn't become active until 1071. Missi 13:56, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Why did the Kievan citizens rebel "against the Jewish merchants and Varangian officials who speculated in grain and salt" when Svyatopolk died? Did his death trigger the rebellion? What prevented the rebellion before his death? --Theo (Talk) 11:43, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

September 11th Victim Compensation Fund

The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, commonly known as the VCF, was a U.S. government fund that was created by an Act of Congress shortly after the September 11 attacks in 2001. The purpose of the fund was to compensate the victims of the attacks and their families with the quid pro quo of their agreement not to file lawsuits against the airline corporations involved, such as American Airlines and United Airlines. The VCF functions similar to the Social Security Administration, in that part of the annual U.S. federal budget is set aside for the specific purpose of paying out victims, although this process is heavily regulated. Medical treatments for several respiratory diseases, including asthma and sleep apnea, as well as for all forms of cancer, are covered by the VCF.

Kenneth Feinberg was appointed by Attorney General John Ashcroft to be special master of the fund. He developed the regulations governing the administration of the fund and administered all aspects of the program. Legislation authorizes the fund to disburse a maximum of $7.375 billion, including operational and administrative costs, of U.S. government funds.

In the United States
The fund was formally established by an Act of Congress in the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act (49 USC 40101).

Feinberg was responsible for making the decisions on how much each family of a victim would receive. Feinberg had to estimate how much each victim would have earned in a full lifetime. If a family accepted the offer, it was not possible to appeal. Families unhappy with the offer were able to appeal in a nonadversarial, informal hearing to present their case however they wanted. Feinberg personally presided over more than 900 of the 1,600 hearings. At the end of the process $7 billion was awarded to 97% of the families. A non-negotiable clause in the acceptance papers for the settlements was that the families were to never file suit against the airlines for any lack of security or otherwise unsafe procedures.

A stumbling block to settlements was the fact that many of the World Trade Center victims were highly compensated financial professionals. Families of these victims felt the compensation offers were too low, and, had a court considered their case on an individual basis, they would have been awarded much higher amounts. This concern had to be balanced against the time, complications, and risks of pursuing an individual case, and the real possibility that the airlines and their insurers could be bankrupted before being able to pay the claim.

This is a separate fund from the similarly named September 11th Fund, and from the World Trade Center Captive Insurance Company.

The eight-part Feinberg plan
In his book titled What is Life Worth?, Feinberg described the eight-part plan which was applied to approaching the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (see Publications section below).

(i) Identify someone with sufficient and exceptionally broad experience in mass tort action mediation, litigation, and settlement, which Feinberg possessed through his previous personal experience as a political activist and his work in the Agent Orange compensation settlement.

(ii) To support and follow the unprecedented law of Congress for the proportional compensation of victims based on estimated loss from future earnings as a key legislated criterion. Hire a full staff of accountants and attorneys to track and service each claim individually.

(iii) Accumulate all the reports and applications, along with counter-claims to gauge and initiate the direct compensation process. How the compensation fund worked was in detail substantially different from the Agent Orange mass tort litigation case.

(iv) The place of informed discretion in compensating claimants under the formula of keeping the domain of compensation (p47 of Feinberg's book) under the rule of thumb that 85% of the money should not go to 15% of the 'richest' claimant families, under the principle of "narrow the gap" between the largest and the smallest compensations paid to claimants.

(v) With a mind to the future, the process of the program should be maintained and serviced as a precedent for future courts to defend in future compensation cases as needed. The actions taken should be uniform in their approach.

(vi) There would be "no substitute for hard work and legal craftsmanship" of rigorous intellectual honesty.

(vii) The support of Edward Kennedy would be recognized throughout the process whom Feinberg knew since 1975 (p7-8).

(viii) Lawsuits were to be discouraged as contrary to the spirit of an enacted Law of Congress legislated to expedite the claim process of victims of September 11th.

Additional compensation
Despite the disputed claim of the 9/11 Commission Report that the Saudi Arabian government was not involved in the attacks, some 9/11 families sued the Saudi Arabian government in 2016 seeking additional restitution. The lawsuit accuses the Saudis of wrongful death.

In February 2022, the Joe Biden administration allowed a $3.5 billion fund from the government of Afghanistan to be used by the victims of the 9/11 attacks. However, in February 2023 U.S. District Judge George Daniels decided that the money could not be used for them, as it would recognize the Taliban as the rulers of the Afghanistan government.

Mil Mi-4

The Mil Mi-4 (USAF/DoD reporting name "Type 36", NATO reporting name "Hound") is a Soviet transport helicopter that served in both military and civilian roles.

Design and development
The Mi-4 was designed in response to the American H-19 Chickasaw and the deployment of U.S. helicopters during the Korean War. While the Mi-4 strongly resembles the H-19 Chickasaw in general layout, including the innovative engine position in front of the cockpit, it is a larger helicopter, able to lift more weight and built in larger numbers. The first model entered service in 1953. The helicopter was first displayed to the outside world in 1952 at the Soviet Aviation Day in Tushino Airfield.

Operational history
The Mi-4 transport helicopter laid the groundwork of Soviet Army Aviation. It was widely used both in the armed forces and in Soviet civil aviation, and for several decades remained the main type of helicopter in the inventory of the Soviet Armed Forces and of the Civil Air Fleet. The Mi-4 went out of service with the development of the Mi-8. It is no longer used by the Russian Air Force, though it remained in service in some countries as a utility helicopter or as a military transport a while longer. Albania was thought to be the final country using the helicopter, and by 2005 all were out of service. The Mi-4 played a very important role in the Bangladesh liberation war of 1971. The Mi-4 was the workhorse of the Indian Air Force covering the medium lift role at the time. A highly successful heli-borne operation, the Meghna Heli Bridge, using Mi-4s helped the Indian Army's 57 Mountain Division clear the Meghna River. The helilift of a battalion of Indian troops to the outskirts of Sylhet was the first heli-borne operation of the Indian army.

Much like the UH-1 Huey, after it was gradually phased out of military service, it was used in various domestic roles: search and rescue, firefighting, polar expeditioning, construction site cargo helicopter, commercial flights and many others.

An official video of a North Korean Air Force combat flying skills competition released in 2014 shows that the Mi-4 is still in limited service in North Korea.

Colonel Amirouche

Amirouche Aït Hamouda (عميروش آيت حمودة), commonly known as Colonel Amirouche, was an Algerian military leader during the Algerian War. He organizied the irregular military of the Wilaya III and is considered a national hero in Algeria.

He was killed during combat against French troops on 29 March 1959. This event was much publicized, as Amirouche was considered to be a great threat to the French in Algeria.

Biography
He was born on 31 October 1926 in Tassaft Ouguemoun, a small town in the Djurdjura. Orphan, he was the son of Amirouche Aït Hamouda and Fatima Aït Mendes Bent Ramdane. When his father died, he inherited his first name, as tradition required. A year after his birth, his widowed mother took two of her children, Boussad, the eldest, and himself; she left her husband's village to join the hamlet from which she came, Ighil Bwammas, a short distance away. The family of the maternal uncles being itself very poor, the young Amirouche had to learn from an early age to make himself useful in order to survive and, if necessary, to help his mother and his brother, who was three years older than him. In the region, it is customary for boys whose parents have died or are particularly poor to serve in the homes of wealthier families, where they are fed in exchange for assistance bordering on servitude. In this way, people may spend their lives in a form of perpetual servitude, with no guarantee other than that they will be given their daily rations. This status is called 'acrik', which is equivalent to that of the serf in medieval Europe. This was the fate of Amirouche Aït Hamouda from his early childhood. However, he succeeded in getting an education while carrying out his numerous and arduous tasks. These few years at school were decisive in his life: he learned to read and write and developed a capacity for listening that enabled him to satisfy his curious mind all his life.

Amirouche gets involved in politics. He approves of the nationalist leader of the town, Dr Ahmed Francis, who denounces - it is the time of Marcel-Edmond Naegelen's proconsulate - the rigged elections. However, the options he took were more radical than those of the UDMA leader. Not satisfied with joining the MTLD and leaving Relizane to go and work in Algiers as a permanent employee at the headquarters of this movement, place de Chartres, he joined the Special Organisation (abbreviated O.S). When the repression fell on the Special Organisation of the MTLD, in 1950-1951, Amirouche was imprisoned. Released, but forbidden to stay in Algiers, he returned, on his release from prison, to Relizane, but he went to spend Sundays in the capital clandestinely.

Although he was very anti-communist, he often went to visit friends of the PCA newspaper Alger républicain. At that time, according to sources, he seems to have become close to the Association of Algerian Muslim Ulemas.

According to his wartime companion, Cheikh Tahar Ali Aldjet, he had the project of opening zaouias (religious buildings) in Wilaya III with the aim of promoting Arabic and Islam among the population but also to Algerian expatriates. According to his other wartime companion, Salah Mekacher, he also attached great importance to the Arabic language.

The remains of the colonel and his wartime companion Ahmed Ben Abderrazak Hamouda, commonly called Colonel Si El Haouès, were dug up and stored in a barracks in Algiers. An investigation was opened by Chadli Bendjedid in 1981. The investigation made it possible to find their bodies which were recovered by his son and buried in El Alia Cemetery.

Copied from American helicopter?
AFAIK - it was copyed from helicopter that came to USSR as a gift from US President during Chrushev visit to this country. Can this be confirmed or smth?--Oleg Str (talk) 08:59, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No, it wasn't, as the Soviet Union never received such a gift. This helicopter is superficially similar to the H-19 (mostly because of the cockpit stepped-up above the engine compartment), as is noted in the article, but the mechanics are completely different, as are the size and technical characteristics; they are merely two different helicopters of a similar design.

North Shore, Victoria

North Shore is an industrial and residential suburb of Geelong, Victoria, Australia. The suburb overlooks Corio Bay. A small residential area is east of the North Shore railway station with a few neighbourhood shops. The suburb is bounded by the Melbourne to Warrnambool railway line to the west, St Georges Road to the north, Corio Bay to the east, and Cowies Creek to the south.

History
area was subdivided as a residential area and bayside retreat. An esplanade and linear park were laid out and planted with trees, the remaining fragment now being Moorpanyal Park. A small jetty was constructed and 10 years later North Shore was a small holiday resort.

The Post Office opened on 27 August 1898. It was known as Corio from 1908 until 1913, before reverting to North Shore.

Some references say a railway station was first opened at North Shore on 15 April 1895, but an 1857 map shows a station named Cowie's Creek where the current station is sited, which by the 1880s was called North Shore. In 1909, the station was briefly renamed Corio, reverting to North Shore in 1913. In the 1920s various other names, related to the industrial expansion in the area, were suggested for the station, including Jelbart, Pivot and Ford. In 1930, the Minister for Railways announced that the station's name would change to Pivot, but that never happened.

Industrialisation in the North Shore area commenced in 1899, when a meat freezing works was opened. The mouth of Cowies Creek was excavated to become Corio Quay from 1909, with the creation of Lascelles Wharf to the north in later years.

In 1925 the Ford factory and the Phosphate Co-Operative Company of Australia's "Pivot" phosphate works were opened, and in 1929 the Corio Distillery opened. International Harvester opened its plant near Ford in 1939.

During the 1920s there were several land subdivisions in the North Shore area. One of them was "Fordtown", no doubt trying to cash in on the coming of the Ford works, and the name was well enough accepted to appear on a 1923 Army Survey map. A small residential area gradually developed between the International Harvester plant and the Pivot works.

In the post-war years the Shell Oil Company refinery began production in 1956 at the northern end of North Shore. Other industries established at that time included Coca-Cola Bottlers, Pilkington Glass and Ryland Brothers (later BHP) wire and wire products factory.

The suburb has an Australian Rules football team competing in the Geelong Football League.

Mil Mi-1

The Mil Mi-1 (USAF/DoD reporting name "Type 32", NATO reporting name "Hare" ) was a Soviet three- or four-seat light utility helicopter. It was the first Soviet helicopter to enter serial production. It is powered by one 575 hp Ivchenko AI-26V radial piston engine. It entered service in 1950 and was first seen on the 1951 Soviet Aviation Day, Tushino and was produced for 16 years. More than 1,000 were built in the USSR and 1,594 in Poland, as SM-1.

Development
Mikhail Mil began work on rotary-winged aircraft before 1930, but the Mi-1, his first production helicopter, was begun in 1946, under a designation EG-1. In 1947 Mil became a head of OKB-4 design bureau in Tushino, and works were intensified. A final design was named GM-1 (for Gyelikopter Mila, Mil's Helicopter). Soviet engineers tried to create a completely original design. So, they made a rotor hub with spaced vertical and horizontal hinges. This design increased the efficiency of helicopter control and was much simpler than that used on American helicopters. The prototype completed first free flight on 20 September 1948 (pilot Mikhail Baikalov). In 1949 it underwent official state trials. Despite crashes of two prototypes, the design was an overall success, and after further work, was ordered for a production, under a new designation Mi-1, for Mil initials. The production was initially limited — the first series of only 15 machines was ordered on 21 February 1950, in factory No.3 in Moscow. Only after presentation to Joseph Stalin in 1951, the authorities decided to increase production. In 1952–1953, 30 Mi-1 were manufactured in Kazan, and from 1954 a mass production started in Orenburg and from 1956 in Rostov (current Rostvertol). The design was a subject of further improvements during production, mostly increasing reliability (especially as rotor technology was changing). Period between repair increased to 300 hours in Mi-1T (hence a letter T for trekhsotchasovoi, 300-hour), 600 in Mi-1A, then to 1,000 and 3,000 hours by the end of production. All early variants seated the pilot in front and two passengers behind him, in a common cabin. The first production variant was Mi-1, quickly replaced by improved Mi-1T, that carried extra operational equipment including full radio and blind-flying instruments, and had more reliable engine AI-26V. The next basic variant was the Mi-1A of 1957, with further increased reliability and provisions for one 160 L external fuel tank.

A new major variant, Mi-1M in 1957 introduced an enlarged cabin and the more powerful AI-26VF engine, which allowed the accommodation of three passengers on a bench behind the pilot. Cabin height increased from 1.22 to 1.26 m and width from 1.01 to 1.2 m. A noticeable difference was horizontal bottom windows line instead of slanted, with bigger rear side windows, and a less pointed fuselage nose. It could also be fitted with two external side capsules for the injured or mail. There were trials of an armed anti-tank variant Mi-1MU carried in 1961, being the first Soviet attack helicopter, but it did not enter production due to having a small payload and the cessation of production of the basic variant.

Well over 1,000 of all variants were built in the USSR, including a proportion of dual-control trainers (with U suffix): Mi-1U, TU, AU, MU, with the instructor seated behind a trainee. 15 were produced in Moscow in 1950, 30 in Kazan in 1952–1953, 597 in Orenburg in 1954–1958 and 370 in Rostov in 1956–1960. In 1956, license-production of the four-seat model began in Poland, at WSK PZL-Świdnik, where 1,594 were built until 1965, under the designation SM-1. Several new versions were developed at Świdnik, including the SM-2 five-seater, with a new fuselage.

Several international records in its class were broken with the Mi-1 or SM-2.

Talk:Dave Gahan

Stalwarts
What the hell are Stalwarts?

POV
This is not NPOV. You need to start the article with what is notable, not with an emotion-tainted background. Also, that is the worst picture possible for him. I've just got to find a better one. Anything will do, actually.

Depeche Mode tour
Dave Gahan is currently preparing for his worldwide Depeche Mode tour with Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher for their upcoming new album titled "Playing the Angel" which is due for release in October 2005. For information on the album and tour visit www.depechemode.com

Please update
Alright. The man has had flaws in his life, but please for the love of God, update it with some added cheer. Perhaps you could put that he's sold millions of records and is an amazing, sexy, solo artist with loads of talent? 7 August 2005-Cheryl [] []

Christian
My family have never converted to any other religion other than remaining within the Christian faiths. My brother did become a Greek Orthodox to enable him to be married to his wife within the Greek Church. philipgahan

jewish/not jewish
Gahan is an IRISH NAME, from county Wexford and Wicklow. His birth name is also an old English name. Our family back ground on mothers side is east coast English counties (Essex, Herts, Suffolk, Norfolk, Lincs) going back to 1700s. On Dave's "birth fathers" side, its also East London, Essex, Herts, and other east coast English counties. There is no history of any one being of jewish faith or jewish genetics being in any part of our family. philipgahan —Preceding undated comment added 23:58, 14 January 2012 (UTC).

A suggestion for future authors of DM-related articles...
Please avoid using language like "received a mixed reception from fans" or "fans seemed to take to the new sound." Unless you have done a survey or can back up what you are saying, stick with the facts. As an actual fan of Depeche Mode and an active participant on various message boards and fan group, I can say for certain that fans are diverse in their opinions and there is seldom consensus.

David Gahan's Salvation Army mother and Christian Methodist father
In an earlier version of this article, it was mentioned that David Gahan was half Jewish, and that his Father was the Jewish parent (his biological parent). Why was it removed??? Because it was totally untrue!!!

It also said he practiced and observed many traditions of both Christianity and Judaism.

It was removed because it was inaccurate. Dave was raised within the Salvation Army Christian movement and only changed demnomination when he married Jennifer, and converted to Greek Orthodox to enable her to have a Church wedding. His birth father was a Christian and not Jewish.

 * Somebody with IP various addresses beginning "76" keeps claiming that his family and/or father were Jewish. I have nothing against that if it were true, but this user does not provide any reference or cite for this info. Can we please confirm that he was or was not Jewish? best, Sunil060902 (talk) 11:31, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

As stated before the jewish rumour is totally untrue. Im Dave's brother. Dave and my other brother and sister were raised in the Salvation Army. Dave only changed religion when he married his Greek Orthodox wife Jennifer. There has been no other change to his religion. Phil Gahan www.myspace.com/philgahan

 * Also, see Dave's brother Phil's comments above! best, Sunil060902 (talk) 10:19, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Pointless Dave Gahan rants
It was pointless to post "Dave Gahan's Father Is Jewish"! Who the hell cares if Dave Gahan's father is Jewish? Does it really matter as long as he continues to make great music and to continue his solo career. I don't care if he's Greek Orthodox or if decides tomorrow to become a Buddhist. I could see him as a Buddhist but that is my opinion. Religion is a very personal choice.

Btw, Phil Gahan really seems like a terrific brother for Dave to have. There is alot to be said about him defending his brother on Wikipedia and all over the internet. Fans write stupid garbarge about Dave Gahan all the time. Especially this insane wikipedia rumor about him having AIDS? What kind of reject are you to accuse someone you do not know personally of having AIDS? That isn't even something you should poke a bit of fun at! Are you jealous because your former boyfriend/girlfriend had an obsession with Dave Gahan? They probably left your sorry ass.

I think that Mr. Gahan is more well known as "Dave Gahan" by the general public. Shouldn't the article title reflect this (c.f. Bill Clinton; see Naming conventions (common names) and google results)? Acegikmo1 18:16, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment from David Gahan's brother concerning developments of May 2009
As there are some false stories appearing here i just want to assure you Dave isnt back on any sort of drugs whatsover, nor has he returned to alcohol. He also has not had a row with, his wife Jennifer, who is constantly by his side at this time. There is a genuine medical reason Dave isn't able to perform at the moment. Please do not ask me to divulge any further information as I will not respond to those requests.

And please dont believe the crap being printed on fan forums, i remind you these are not official forums and any offical information will be delivered either on the DM website www.depechemode.com or from the offices of the band's management or publicist. Tour staff do not KNOW any information regarding his health.

For further show information please consult the DM website www.depechemode.com for further announcements.

Please be assured that Dave is very disappointed to let you, his DM fans down, and to keep hold of your tickets for any refunds or should the shows be rescheduled, they will allow you entry to the venues.

Please respect Dave's and our family's privacy at this time. He will be back performing at a venue near you very soon.

Thanks for your understanding.

Respect always, Phil Philipgahan —Preceding undated comment added 22:32, 19 May 2009 (UTC).

Infobox: Origin
Gahan was born in Epping, but grew up in Basildon, where he formed DM. Therefore I believe that Basildon should be in the infobox next to origin. I changed it accordingly, but it was reverted on the basis that origin should be where he was born. Can anyone clarify the infobox rules for the stated origin of a musician? Best name (talk) 13:15, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi! Sorry for the rush to revert but I think origin should mean just that - birthplace. For example my origin is India, even though I grew up in England since 1976! best, Sunil060902 (talk) 13:17, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Birth surname?
So, since Dave's mother would not marry Jack Gahan until two years after his birth, his birth surname could not have been Gahan. Does anyone know what Dave's biological father, Len's surname was? That would be Dave's birth surname... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.134.39.35 (talk) 17:08, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Under UK law, Dave's pre-adoption identity would be protected under the Data Protection Act without his express consent for it to be revealed. - Preceding comment added by 69.134.39.35 (talk) 21:51, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Erm he wasn't adopted - his biological mother was there all the time! best, Sunil060902 (talk) 10:28, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

A search on Ancestry.co.uk will reveal Dave's birth name. If you're a paid-up member of Ancestry the information is freely available. Okay, you have to do a little cross-referencing with the names of biological mother and father and their marriages, and add in the names of the siblings, but I cracked it in under half an hour. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.150.66 (talk) 09:07, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

 * No mention of the name "Callcott" anywhere in the new Dave Gahan biography. Real dad referred to as just "Len". best, Sunil060902 (talk) 17:47, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I've always thought that the way editors of this article came up with the name "Callcott" was OR-ish and unreliable. Sadly, now it's gone from here all over the Internet. Garik 11 (talk) 10:18, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Sadly that editor was me :( Should have known better than to trust an anonymous IP! But I added "Citation needed" tags in the last few days. Jonathan Miller's book "Stripped" makes the glaring error of referring to Len as "Len Gahan", both in the text and the index! best, Sunil060902 (talk) 14:47, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

No help from Simon Spence's new DM biography either; Dave's biological father referred to simply as Len (Ch. 4, p. 88). Haven't finished the book yet, but I doubt that Spence reveals more than that. --Sk4170 (talk) 16:35, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

That would be because its not an official biography and the Gahan family did not assist in the writing of the book. Phil Philipgahan —Preceding undated comment added 07:38, 13 January 2012 (UTC).

Criminal record?
The article contains this sentence: "He was told by his probation officer to be honest with the interviewer, and as a result, he admitted his criminal record..." but there's no mention before that of the subject being convicted of a crime. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdz (talk • contribs) 03:08, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Malaysian descent ?
i am a fan of the band since 1997 when i was in the fifth grade school boy but now i have found out that DAVE is of Malaysian descent

is that true ?

He had said this many times before

even on ETHNICELEBS which is very accurate it is told that he has this descent

Three or four encounters with death
The section "Health" mentions Gahan almost died four times. However, the description only describes three (1993, 1995, 1996). In the latter part, no near-death experiences are mentioned. (A gastroenteritis, although not so nice, is not that deadly) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.155.126.249 (talk) 16:28, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Removal of Birth date
Why was his DoB removed? Wasn't Dave Gahan born? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.244.102.138 (talk) 08:28, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Removed it because of WP:BLPPRIMARY. @Theshape78, find a non primary source with the date and then you can change it. Philipnelson99 (talk) 22:02, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
