SOFTWARE TRANSLATION :Matsudaira Katamori The source : The free encyclopedia ""UIKIPEDEIA" (Wikipedia)" Matsudaira Katamori (being the "DAIRAKATA" leakage, December 29th (February 15th in 1836) of 6 of Tenpo-1893 (1893) December 5th to wait for) is the latter period of Edo period, an Aizu-han master, defense status in Kyoto in Bakumatsu. The child, the mother of Mino Kunitaka 須藩 main Matsudaira justice 建 are a concubine. It is Matsudaira fixed Takashi and so on to the brother. The childhood name is 銈 Jinnojo. The government service is a Higo no Kami sword. The number is 祐堂, Yoshiyama. The Buddist name is a loyal deity. One of the Takasu 4 brothers

It grafts entering on the son of Matsudaira 容敬 at Aizu Matsudaira house in 1846 (Koka 3) and it grafts Aizu-han in 1852 (Kaei 5). Funnily out of Sakuradamon where Tairou Ii Naosuke was killed by Mito clan masterless samurai in 1860 (Manen origin), it opposes the Mito clan subduing. Hitotsubashi Yoshinobu who was made general succession by the support of the Imperial Court and Satsuma Domain after Ii assassination (Yoshinobu Tokugawa), Task "ZERARE", recommended as defense status in Kyoto of the establishment later by establishment's shogunate administration participation in 1862 (Bunkyu 2) when Fukui seigneur Matsudaira Yoshinaga who was made a governmental affair president job begins shogunate administration reform in Bunkyu It refuses oppositely but Saigo Tanomo of the vassal is installed in Keinaga's advice.

Katamori leads an Aizu-han soldier and goes up to the capital to Kyoto, and it has an audience of Emperor Komei and it negotiates with Imperial Court and takes on the guard against 14 brigadier army Tokugawa Iemochi that the use went up to the capital and the peace maintenance in Kyoto-shi in Shinsengumi troop of follower and so on. Himself fought with royalism school in union of Imperial Court and Shogunate school and moved to the influence exclusion by odd "DODE", Choshu-han in the gate of Imperial Palace in 1864 (Genji origin). Defense status in Kyoto, too, is abolished when the Emperor Komei dies in 1866 (Keio 2) and the conduct Shogunate Government of Edo disappears in Restoration of Imperial rule in 15 brigadier army Yoshinobu Tokugawa. The Aizu-han soldier, too, fights when Resolution of Imperial Rule is done and battle in Toba Fushimi originates in the crash with the soldier in Meiji new government, particularly Satsuma Domain and Choshu-han, but it follows when Yoshinobu who retreated to Osaka leaves the front and descends to Edo to the Shogunate warship with fixed Takashi. When Yoshinobu does allegiance to the new government, in the time of the former shogunate subjects such as Edo-jo, the allegiance school and the resistance school are opposed and the similar opposition happens in Aizu-han. Katamori returns home to Aizu, transfers a patrimony to Kitoku of the son and confines at home. Bloodless surrender in Edo-jo is done by Takamori Saigou's and Kaishuu Katsu's talk and the new government army advances on the Kinki district when it expels Shogitai in Ueno war and controls Edo. Katamori is regarded as being a leading figure in the Shogunate school and is regarded with hostility, and in Boshin War, he makes a new government army in the resistance as the center of Okuba 越列 feudal clan union and doing is besieged in Aizu war and appeals yielding to Kambee Sagawa according to being summonsed.

After that, it was left with Tottori feudal clan, and it was moved to Tokyo and it stayed, but legitimate son Kataharu (or "TAHIRO") was permitted for the cognomen to continue and it was made by noblewoman. Katamori was soon permitted to stay and in 1880 (Meiji 13), he became Nikko Tosho-gu chief priest of a Shinto shrine. It is installed and it is a death because of the ill in Tokyo Meguro in 1893 as Shozo. Age at death 58

The tomb is a Masauke hospital at the Matsudaira house in-hospital mausoleum in Fukushima Prefecture Aizuwakamatsu City, in Tokyo Shinjuku Ward in it.

Winter Hill transmitting station

The Winter Hill transmitting station is a broadcasting and telecommunications site on Winter Hill, at the south eastern boundary of the Borough of Chorley, Lancashire, England, and above Bolton. It is owned and operated by Arqiva.

Height
The original mast at Winter Hill was a 450 ft tower that came into service on 3 May 1956, and carried the programmes of Granada Television (weekdays) and ABC Weekend Television. In 1966 services were transferred to a new higher mast erected adjacent to the original tower. The main mast structure is 309.48 m tall and has a diameter of 2.75 m. During the period of parallel digital and analogue transmissions, the DTT antenna attached to the top of the mast brought the overall height to 315.4 m, however as part of the Digital Switchover plans, this antenna has now been removed, reducing its overall height to 309.48 m. It is one of the tallest structures in the United Kingdom, the tallest being Skelton mast; however, at 778.1 m above sea level, Winter Hill has the highest television transmitting antenna in the United Kingdom and is higher than Green Hill, the highest hill in Lancashire.

Construction
Unlike most masts, which are of a lattice design, Winter Hill mast is of a tubular construction. Five other masts in England share this design (Belmont, Bilsdale, Mendip, Waltham and the original ill-fated structure at Emley Moor).

Support wires, to hold the mast vertical, are pitched at 120° when viewed from above. These are connected at five heights, giving 15 supports in total. These wires have been strengthened, and 152 MT of dampening chains have been fitted by Arqiva (then NTL Broadcast) to reduce the oscillations caused by high winds that were a factor in the collapse of Emley Moor's original structure in 1969. During 2007 - 2009, the mast was strengthened to allow the installation of the new heavier digital transmission aerials. Its ropes weigh 85 tons, made by British Ropes, with steel from Steel, Peech and Tozer of Templeborough in southern Yorkshire. The column weighs 210 tons and has 375 segments, with steel from United Steel Companies at Scunthorpe in northern Lincolnshire.

Maintenance
An advantage of the tubular design is that engineers can ascend the inside of the mast and avoid adverse weather, which is a problem on frame structures. Maintaining the outside of the mast is typically performed using a bosun's chair.

The mast has always had a series of red aircraft warning lights but in October 2006 these lights were substantially brightened making the mast far more visible to passing aircraft. These lights can be maintained from the inside, as the lamps swing inwards for maintenance.

Eight external platforms encircle the mast along its height. These can be accessed from the inside of the mast, and are used to maintain the supporting wires, and the ILR antennas.

Coverage
The station's coverage includes approximately 6.3 million people. The coverage area is for mainly Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire and southern Cumbria along parts of Derbyshire, Staffordshire and North Yorkshire. Relay transmitters are needed around eastern Manchester, northern Lancashire and the Wirral peninsula. The transmitter also covers the North Wales coastal areas and although not the 'correct' television region, it is the preferred region for some in North Wales, mainly because it carries Channel 4 (as opposed to S4C, however since digital switchover Channel 4 is also available on all Welsh transmitters), Channel 5 and a much more powerful digital terrestrial output than the Welsh transmitters. The region's ITV franchisees, Granada Television (weekdays only until 1968) and ABC Weekend TV (launched in 1956), were on air much earlier than North Wales' franchisee, WWN (Teledu Cymru) which launched in 1962 (subsequently HTV Wales) giving viewers more choice than they would with the Welsh transmissions. ABC Television lost its franchise in 1968, when Granada Television commenced broadcasting seven days a week. Since the digital switchover, the Welsh transmitters are broadcasting DTT at a much higher power and Channel 4, and Channel 5 are now included in the line-up. However, because of the terrain and the rough landscapes of North Wales, many have likely stayed with Winter Hill, not least because small local relays only broadcast a limited range of multiplexes with a reduced number of channels.

Digital
Winter Hill is the principal transmitter for the North West region (formerly Granada ITV region) and in 2009 it became the first in the UK to broadcast digital television in high definition.

Winter Hill's 700MHz clearance will end on 10 February 2020 when, somewhat surprisingly, Winter Hill will become an A group (excluding MUX 7 which are due to be switched off before the end of 2020 anyway). Because the A group is the opposite end of the band from Winter Hill's C/D, people with original C/D group aerials in poor signal areas may struggle to pick up the signal (see Winter Hill graph).

Only four of the 70 Winter Hill relays broadcast six digital multiplexes (Lancaster, Saddleworth, Pendle Forest and Storeton). All the others broadcast just the three public service multiplexes BBC A, BBC B and D3&4. Winter Hill also broadcasts a Manchester multiplex on Channel 27.

Present channels
These were moved around until February 2020 due to the 700MHz clearance.

Analogue
Analogue television transmissions from Winter Hill ceased officially during the early hours of 2 December 2009. Since then the site has carried only digital terrestrial television transmissions.

Digital television
The following is a list of the television relays served by Winter Hill, including UHF channels for each multiplex it carries. Only Lancaster, Pendle Forest, Saddleworth and Storeton carry all the main 6 multiplexes and have done so since 1998 when Winter Hill also started broadcasting these channels. Before 2009, the Cornholme, Lydgate, Todmorden, Walsden and Walsden South transmitters in West Yorkshire also relayed signals from Winter Hill, until this was changed to relay Emley Moor in 2009.

FM
† Relays the signal from Holme Moss to cover south and central Lancashire

DAB
† Broadcasts from a directional aerial to cover Greater Manchester.

† Broadcasts from a directional aerial to cover flintshire North Wales (Rhyl, Prestatyn, Llanrwst, Llandudno and surrounding areas). From Moel-y-Parc.

‡ Broadcasts from a directional aerial to cover central Lancashire (Wigan, Preston, Southport, Blackpool and surrounding areas).

Plane crash
On 27 February 1958, a Silver City Bristol 170 Freighter (G-AICS) travelling from the Isle of Man to Manchester crashed into Winter Hill (also known as Rivington Moor) several hundred yards away from the mast. Thirty-five people died and 7 were injured. The weather that night was so severe that none of the engineers working in the transmission centre were aware of the crash. Several feet of snow hampered rescue efforts, and a snowcat vehicle had to be diverted from the A6 to cut a path for emergency vehicles.

Winter weather advisory

A winter weather advisory (originally identified as a Traveler's Advisory until the 2002-03 climatological winter when officially renamed, and informally as such by some local television stations thereafter) is a hazardous weather statement issued by local Weather Forecast Offices (WFO) of the National Weather Service in the United States when one or more types of winter precipitation—snow, rain and snow mixed, freezing rain, sleet, graupel, etc.—presenting a hazard, but not expected to produce accumulations meeting storm warning criteria (usually below 4 in), are forecast within 36 hours of the expected onset of precipitation or are occurring in the advisory's coverage area.

Definition
In the United States, the criteria necessary to issue a Winter Weather Advisory is defined by each local NWS Weather Forecast Office, and is based on the climatological impact of frozen precipitation on travel and commerce within the specified region. For example, any measurable snow will constitute the advisory in Florida, while forecast accumulations of 3 to 5 in will merit issuance in New England. If other forms of wintry precipitation are expected, then a Winter Weather Advisory or Winter Storm Warning (the latter being issued for frozen precipitation events portending amounts significant enough to cause hazardous conditions for life, property, commerce and travel) can be issued, also depending on the amount and accumulation of precipitation that is expected.

Until the 2007-08 winter storm season, the product was originally designated to indicate hazardous travel conditions within the advisory area, while standalone advisories based on the expected/ongoing precipitation type (usually encompassing the same areas) were issued to indicate hazards to life, property and commerce through the duration of the winter weather event forecast to occur within a given region. Beginning in the winter of 2008-09, the National Weather Service restructured the Winter Weather Advisory into a general purpose product, expanding its application to supersede and utilizing the respective criterial definitions previously applied to four deprecated precipitation-specific products: Additional variants of the product were added by the National Weather Service on October 2, 2017 (implemented for the 2017-18 winter storm season), superseding two other precipitation-based advisory products: The generic Winter Weather Advisory terminology may be used on its own, typically to indicate moderate amounts of snow, sleet and freezing rain are expected in the alert area. However, the generic term may be used at the forecaster's discretion regardless of whether or not the condition applies.
 * Winter Weather Advisory for Snow (replaced the Snow Advisory) – issued for synoptic-scale snowfall events expected to produce accumulations of or greater than WFO-defined minimum criteria, either within a six-hour span or through the event duration as long as amounts are less than Winter Storm Warning criteria;
 * Winter Weather Advisory for Snow and Blowing Snow (replaced the Snow and Blowing Snow Advisory) – issued for snowfall events accompanied by sustained winds or frequent gusts of 25 to 34 mph that may occasionally reduce visibility to less than one mile for a span of at least three hours;
 * Winter Weather Advisory for Blowing Snow (replaced the Blowing Snow Advisory) – issued for snowfall events accompanied by winds less than 35 mph that may cause blowing and drifting of snow reducing visibilities to 1 mi or less;
 * Winter Weather Advisory for Sleet (replaced the Sleet Advisory) – issued for sleet events expected to cause ice accumulations capable of impairing vehicle and pedestrian travel;
 * Winter Weather Advisory for Snow, Sleet, and Freezing Rain (replaced the generic Winter Weather Advisory) – issued for some combination thereof of frozen precipitation types
 * Winter Weather Advisory for Freezing Rain (replaced the Freezing Rain Advisory) – issued for freezing rain or freezing drizzle events forecast to produce ice accretions of up to 1⁄4 in capable of causing significant travel impairments;
 * Winter Weather Advisory for Lake-effect Snow (replaced the Lake-effect Snow Advisory) – issued for lake-effect snow events forecast to produce moderate accumulations (generally 3 to 6 in) over adjacent land areas and marine zones

In Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada issues the similar Winter Weather Travel Advisory through regional Meteorological Service offices based in Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal and Dartmouth for specified municipalities and census subdivisions.

Nick Stahl

Nicolas Kent Stahl (December 5, 1979) is an American actor. Starting out as a child actor, he gained recognition for his performance in the 1993 film The Man Without a Face, directed by and co-starring Mel Gibson.

He later transitioned into his adult career with roles in the films Disturbing Behavior, The Thin Red Line, In the Bedroom, Bully, Sin City, and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in the role of John Connor, as well as on the HBO series Carnivàle in the role of Ben Hawkins. He also starred as Jason Riley on the AMC television series Fear the Walking Dead. In April 2023, he starred as Lucas on the Hulu television series Tiny Beautiful Things.

Early life
Stahl was born in Harlingen, Texas, the son of Donna Lynn (née Reed), a brokerage assistant, and William Kent Stahl, a businessman who abandoned his family before Nick was born. Stahl stated in a 2021 interview, "I don’t know my dad. I never met him." He was raised in Dallas along with his two sisters by his divorced mother, who struggled to make ends meet.

Career
His first professional castings were small roles in Stranger at My Door (1991) and Woman With a Past (1992), although he had been acting in children's plays since he was four years old. The 1993 film The Man Without a Face, co-starring Mel Gibson, helped boost his career at the age of 13. The following year, he had a supporting role in the ensemble film Safe Passage. In 1996, he played the role of Puck in Benjamin Britten's opera A Midsummer Night's Dream at The Metropolitan Opera in New York. In 1998 he played a doomed young soldier during the World War II Pacific War in The Thin Red Line. He scored critical and box office success again with his role in the 2001 movie In the Bedroom, which starred Sissy Spacek and Tom Wilkinson as his parents. He scored another box office hit in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) as John Connor (replacing Edward Furlong from Terminator 2: Judgment Day), co-starring with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Claire Danes. In 2003, he starred in the HBO series Carnivàle, which drew a loyal audience as well as rave reviews. The show lasted two seasons, ending in 2006.

Stahl has played two villains to good reviews: Bobby Kent in the film Bully (2001) and Roark Jr./Yellow Bastard in Sin City (2005). Stahl did not reprise his role as John Connor in Terminator Salvation with Christian Bale taking over instead. Stahl noted the film's concept as "a jump to the future, so [John Connor] will be quite a bit older." Other roles included How to Rob a Bank (2007), Sleepwalking (2008), and Quid Pro Quo (2008).

In 2010, Stahl starred as Max Matheson in Mirrors 2, the sequel to Mirrors, directed by Victor Garcia and penned by Matt Venne. Among his more recent films are On the Inside (2010) and Afghan Luke (2011), and Away from Here (2014).

In 2019, Stahl portrayed serial killer Glen Edward Rogers in The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson. Filming commenced over the summer in 2018 and the film was released in the UK on December 9, 2019.

Also in 2019, Stahl appeared in The Lumineers’ short film, III, which is based on their album of the same name. Stahl played the character Jimmy Sparks, who is a father and gambling addict.

In November 2021, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Stahl would star alongside Sean Bean and Famke Janssen in the film Knights of the Zodiac, a live-action adaptation of the Saint Seiya manga series. The film will be released on May 12, 2023.

In April 2023, he appeared in a recurring role as Lucas on the Hulu television series Tiny Beautiful Things, opposite Kathryn Hahn.

In May 2024, Stahl starred in suspense horror film, What You Wish For, written and directed by Nicholas Tomnay and distributed by Magnolia Pictures.

Personal life
Stahl married actress Rose Murphy in June 2009. They have a daughter, Marlo, born in 2010. They separated in 2012. They finalized their divorce in 2019.

In May 2012, Stahl's wife reported him missing. It was later reported that Stahl had checked into rehab. On December 27, 2012, Stahl was arrested at an adult film store in Hollywood, California, on suspicion of committing a lewd act. No charges were filed due to insufficient evidence. On June 28, 2013, Stahl was arrested in Hollywood for alleged possession of methamphetamine.

In a 2017 interview at the Dallas Comic Show, Stahl stated he had moved to Texas and was taking a leave of absence from acting to concentrate on family and sobriety. Stahl returned to acting in 2019 when filming of The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson began.

SS Morro Castle (1930)

SS Morro Castle was an American ocean liner that caught fire and ran aground on the morning of September 8, 1934, en route from Havana, Cuba, to New York City, United States, with the loss of 137 passengers and crew.

On the previous evening, Morro Castle's captain, Robert Willmott, had died suddenly, and his place was taken by Chief Officer William Warms as a strong northeast wind was developing under heavy cloud. At 2:50am, a fire was detected in a storage locker which burned through electrical cables, engulfed the ship in flames, and plunged it into darkness. Response by crew, Coast Guard, and rescue vessels was notably slow and inefficient, with empty capacity in the lifeboats. The decks were too hot to stand on, smoke made breathing difficult, and passengers were forced to leap into ocean swells where swimming was impossible. By mid-afternoon Morro Castle was abandoned and the survivors were landed on the shores of New Jersey by an assortment of craft.

The cause of the fire was never established, though an overheated funnel and certain points of cabin design and electrical circuitry were noted. A theory of arson by a crew member has attracted support over the years, albeit without any concrete evidence. The high casualties are chiefly blamed on the crew's incompetent handling of the emergency.

Building
On May 22, 1928, the United States Congress passed the Merchant Marine Act of 1928, creating a $250 million construction fund to be lent to U.S. shipping companies to replace old and outdated ships with new ones. Each of these loans, which could subsidize as much as 75% of the cost of the ship, was to be paid back over 20 years at low interest rates.

One company that availed itself of this opportunity was the New York and Cuba Mail Steam Ship Company, better known as the Ward Line, which had been carrying passengers, cargo and mail to and from Cuba since the mid-19th century. Naval architects were hired by the line to design a pair of passenger liners to be named Morro Castle, after the stone fortress and lighthouse in Havana, and Oriente, after Oriente Province in Cuba.

At the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, work was begun on Morro Castle in January 1929. In March 1930 the ship was christened, followed in May by her sister ship Oriente. Each ship was 508 ft long, measured and had turbo-electric transmission, with General Electric twin turbo generators supplying current to propulsion motors on twin propeller shafts. Each ship was luxuriously finished to accommodate 489 passengers in first and tourist class and 240 officers and crew. In a growing age of passenger ships having cruiser sterns, Morro Castle and Oriente were built with classic counter sterns.

As built, Morro Castle was equipped with direction finding and submarine signalling equipment. Submarine signalling was becoming obsolete as a form of communication, so by 1934 it had been removed. By that year echo sounding equipment and a gyrocompass had been installed on the ship.

Career
Morro Castle began her maiden voyage on August 23, 1930. She lived up to expectations by completing the maiden 1,100+ mile southbound trip in just under 59 hours, and the return trip took only 58 hours. Over the next four years, Morro Castle and Oriente were luxury ship workhorses, rarely out of service and, despite the worsening of the Great Depression, able to maintain a steady clientele. Their success was in part due to Prohibition, as such trips provided a relatively affordable and (more importantly) legal means of enjoying a non-stop drinking party. Their reasonable rates also attracted Cuban and American businessmen and older couples, making the ships a microcosm of America.

Impending nor'easter
The final voyage of Morro Castle began in Havana on September 5, 1934. On the afternoon of the 6th, as the ship paralleled the southeastern coast of the United States, it began to encounter increasing clouds and wind. By the morning of the 7th, the clouds had thickened and the winds had shifted to easterly, the first indication of a developing nor'easter. Throughout that day, the winds increased and intermittent rains began, causing many to retire early to their berths.

Captain's death
Early that evening, Captain Robert Rennison Willmott had his dinner delivered to his quarters. Shortly thereafter, he complained of stomach trouble and, not long after that, died of an apparent heart attack. Command of the ship passed to the Chief Officer, William Warms, who was eating dinner with his fiancee Mary Hoerter and best friend Samuel Hicks at the time. During the overnight hours, the winds increased to over 30 miles per hour as the Morro Castle plodded its way up the eastern seaboard.

Fire
At around 2:50 a.m. on September 8, while the ship was sailing around eight nautical miles off Long Beach Island, a fire was detected in a storage locker within the First Class Writing Room on B Deck. Within the next 30 minutes, the Morro Castle became engulfed in flames. As the fire grew in intensity, Acting Captain Warms attempted to beach the ship, but the growing need to launch lifeboats and abandon ship forced him to give up his plan.

Within 20 minutes of the fire's discovery (at about 3:10), the fire had burned through the ship's main electrical cables, plunging the Morro Castle into darkness. As all power was lost, the radio stopped working, so only a single SOS signal was sent. At about the same time, the wheelhouse lost the ability to steer the ship, as those hydraulic lines were severed by the fire as well.

Cut off by the fire amidships, passengers tended to move toward the stern. Most crew members, on the other hand, moved to the forecastle. In many places, the deck boards were hot to the touch, and breathing was difficult in the thick smoke. As conditions grew steadily worse, the decision became either "jump or burn" for many passengers. However, jumping into the water was problematic, as high winds churned up great waves that made swimming extremely difficult.

On the decks of the burning ship, the crew and passengers exhibited the full range of reactions to the disaster at hand. Some crew members were incredibly brave as they tried to fight the fire. Others tossed deck chairs and life rings overboard to provide persons in the water with makeshift flotation devices.

Only six of the ship's twelve lifeboats were launched: boats 1, 3, 5, 9, and 11 on the starboard side, and boat 10 on the port side. Although the combined capacity of these boats was 408, they carried only 85 people, most of them crew members. Many passengers died for lack of knowledge of how to use the life preservers. As they hit the water, life preservers knocked many persons unconscious, leading to subsequent death by drowning, or broke victims' necks from the impact, killing them instantly.

Rescue efforts at sea
The rescuers were slow to react. The first rescue ship to arrive on the scene was Andrea F. Luckenbach. Two other ships—Monarch of Bermuda and City of Savannah—were slow in taking action after receiving the SOS but eventually did arrive on the scene. The fourth ship to participate in the rescue operations was SS President Cleveland (1921), which launched a motor boat that made a cursory circuit around the Morro Castle and, upon seeing nobody in the water along her route, retrieved her motor boat and left the scene.

The Coast Guard vessels USCGC Tampa (WPG-48) and USCGC Cahoone (WSC-131) positioned themselves too far away to see the victims in the water and rendered little assistance. The Coast Guard's aerial station at Cape May, New Jersey, failed to send their float planes until local radio stations started reporting that dead bodies were washing ashore on the New Jersey beaches, from Point Pleasant Beach to Spring Lake.

In time, additional small boats arrived on the scene. The large ocean swells presented a major problem, making it very difficult to see people in the water. A plane piloted by Harry Moore, Governor of New Jersey and Commander of the New Jersey Guard, helped boats to find survivors and bodies by dipping its wings and dropping markers.

Recovery efforts on shore
As telephone calls and radio stations spread news of the disaster along the New Jersey coast, local citizens assembled on the coastline to assist the injured, retrieve the dead, and try to unite families that had been scattered among different rescue boats that landed on the New Jersey beaches.

By mid-morning, the ship was totally abandoned and its burning hull drifted ashore, coming to a stop late that afternoon in shallow water off Asbury Park, New Jersey, at almost the exact spot where the New Era had wrecked in 1854. The fires continued to smoulder for the next two days and, in the end, 135 passengers and crew (out of a total of 549) were lost.

The ship was declared a total loss, and its charred hulk was finally towed away from the Asbury Park shoreline on March 14, 1935. According to one account, it later started settling by the stern and sank while being towed and had to be refloated. (Other accounts have it that the ship was towed without any issues). Regardless, it was towed to Gravesend Bay and then to Baltimore on March 29, 1935, where it was scrapped.

In the intervening months, because of its proximity to the boardwalk and the Asbury Park Convention Hall pier, from which it was possible to wade out and touch the wreck with one's hands, the wreck was treated as a destination for sightseeing trips, complete with stamped penny souvenirs and postcards for sale.

Factors contributing to the fire
The design of the ship, the materials used in her construction, and questionable crew practices and mistakes escalated the on-board fire to a roaring inferno that would eventually destroy the ship.

Construction materials
As far as the materials used in her construction were concerned, the elegant but highly flammable decor of the ship—veneered wooden surfaces and glued ply paneling—helped the fire to spread quickly.

Ship's structure and lack of safety features
The structure of the ship also created a number of problems. Although the ship had fire doors, there existed a wood-lined, six-inch opening between the wooden ceilings and the steel bulkheads. This provided the fire with a flammable pathway that bypassed the fire doors, enabling it to spread.

Whereas the ship had electric sensors that could detect fires in any of the ship's staterooms, crew quarters, offices, cargo holds and engine room, there were no such detectors in the ship's lounges, dance hall, writing room, library, tea room, or dining room.

Although there were 42 water hydrants on board, the system was designed with the assumption that no more than six would ever have to be used at any one time. When the emergency aboard the Morro Castle occurred, the crew opened virtually all working hydrants, dropping the water pressure to unusable levels everywhere.

The ship's Lyle gun, which is designed to fire a line to another ship to facilitate passenger evacuation in an emergency, was stored over the Morro Castle's writing room, which is where the fire originated. The Lyle gun exploded just before 3 a.m., further spreading the fire and breaking windows, thereby allowing the near gale force winds to enter the ship and fan the flames.

Finally, fire alarms on the ship produced a "muffled, scarcely audible ring", according to passengers.

Crew practices and deficiencies
Crew practices and deficiencies added to the severity of the on-board fire. According to surviving crewmen, painting the ship had been a common practice to keep it looking new and to keep crewmen busy. Unfortunately, the thick layers of paint that resulted from this practice made the ship more flammable and strips of paint broke off during the fire, helping to spread the flames. The storage locker in which the fire started held blankets that had been dry cleaned using 1930s technology, which utilized flammable dry cleaning fluids (although it is unlikely that significant amounts of the fluid would remain).

Although the ship had fire doors, their automatic trip wires (designed to close when a certain temperature was reached) had been disconnected. None of the crew thought to operate them manually at the time of the fire. That said, it is unlikely that that would have made much difference, as the six-inch opening between the wooden ceilings and the steel bulkheads would have allowed the flames to spread even if the fire doors had closed.

Many of the hose stations on the promenade deck had been recently deactivated in response to an incident about a month before, when a passenger slipped on a deck moistened by a leaking hose station and sued the passenger line.

Although regulations required that fire drills be held on each voyage, only the crew members participated. Passengers were not required to attend.

For quite some time after the fire was discovered, the ship continued on its course and speed—pointed directly into the wind. This no doubt helped to fan the fire.

In an attempt to reach passengers in some suites, crewmen broke windows on several decks, allowing the high winds to enter the ship and hasten the fire's fury.

Because the wireless operators could not get a definitive answer from the captain, the SOS was not ordered until 3:18 and was not sent until 3:23. Within five minutes, the intense heat of the fire began to distort her signal. Shortly thereafter, emergency generators failed and transmissions ceased.

Inquiries
In the inquiries that followed the disaster, there were criticisms of the response of the First Officer's handling of the ship, the crew's response to the fire, and the delay in calling for assistance.

The inquiries concluded that there was no organized effort by the officers to fight and control the fire or close the fire doors. Additionally, the crew made no effort to take their regular fire stations. More damning was the conclusion that, with a few notable exceptions, the crew made no effort to direct passengers to safe pathways to the boat deck. For many passengers, the only course of action was to lower themselves into the water or jump overboard. The few lifeboats that were launched carried primarily crew, and no efforts were made by these boats to maneuver toward the ship's stern to pick up additional people.

The newly promoted Captain Warms never left the bridge to determine the extent of damage and maintained the ship's bearing and full speed for some distance after the fire was known. As systems failed throughout the ship because of power loss, no effort was made to use the emergency steering gear or emergency lighting.

Warms, Chief Engineer Eban Abbott, and Ward Line vice-president Henry Cabaud were eventually indicted on various charges relating to the incident, including willful negligence; all three were convicted and sent to jail. However, an appeals court later overturned Warms' and Abbott's convictions, deciding that a fair amount of the blame could be attributed to the dead Captain Willmott.

In the inquiry that followed the disaster, Chief Radio Operator George White Rogers was made out to be a hero because, having been unable to get a clear order from the bridge, he sent a distress call of his own accord amidst life-threatening conditions. Later, however, suspicion was directed at Rogers when he was convicted of attempting to murder his police colleague with an incendiary device. Additionally, his crippled victim, Vincent "Bud" Doyle, spent the better part of his life attempting to prove that Rogers had set the Morro Castle fire. In 1954, Rogers was convicted of murdering a neighboring couple for money, and he died three and a half years later in prison.

Liability claims
The New York Times reported the end of the inquiry on March 27, 1937, with an order by Federal Judge John C. Knox affixing liability at $890,000, an average of $2,225 per victim. About half the claims were for deaths. The order reportedly included agreement by 95% of the claimants. The order also barred further claims against the steamship company and its subsidiary, the Agwi Navigation Company, operators of the vessel. Several months' work remained in deciding each claim individually by the lawyer members of the Morro Castle Committee. Damages were fixed under the Death on the High Seas Act.

Causes
Officially, the fire's cause was never determined. In the mid-1980s, HBO television aired a dramatization of the fire in an episode of their Catastrophe series, titled "The Mystery of the Morro Castle". The dramatization starred John Goodman as Radio Officer George Rogers and blamed Rogers for causing the fire. In 2002, the A&E television network made a documentary about the incident. Both the HBO dramatization and the A&E documentary reawakened speculation that the fire was actually arson committed by a crew member. Other theories included a short circuit in the wiring that passed through the rear of the locker, the spontaneous combustion of chemically treated blankets in the locker, or an overheating of the ship's one functioning funnel, situated just aft of the locker.

William McFee, a well-known writer of sea stories who had served as an engineer on oil-fired steamers, wrote in 1949 that "if the burners were neglected... [the] long uptakes which lead from the furnaces to the funnel would become dangerously overheated", as he once found on another ship, whose "funnel was glowing red-hot just above the uptakes". The Morro Castle's funnel was clad in flammable material where it passed through the passenger quarters, and several people had noticed smoke as early as midnight. The ship was making 19 knots against a 20-knot headwind and simply overheated, according to McFee, but the high loss of life was caused by the crew's incompetent handling of the emergency.

Furthermore, Cuban writer Renée Méndez Capote was aboard when the tragedy happened, en route to New York City where she would travel to Paris to take over administration of the Cuban Consulate there. Trapped in her cabin as the ship became engulfed in flames, she was found by crew members. Because of her corpulence, she had to be removed through a hatch. American steward Carol Prior gave her his flotation device, thereby saving her life. Upon her arrival in New York City, she was interviewed by the American press. Because she expressed sympathy with the Cuban communist party, she was accused of being a "communist agitator" and the author of the fire that destroyed the ship. Capote later declared, “That fire is—undoubtedly—the worst memory I've ever had."

Burials
Some victims of the fire are buried in the Mount Prospect Cemetery in Neptune, New Jersey, along the coast.

Call sign
The Morro Castle's radio call sign, KGOV, is still registered to the ship by the FCC nearly 90 years after her demise, and is therefore unavailable for use by broadcast stations.

Memorial
On September 8, 2009, the first and only memorial to the victims, rescuers, and survivors of the Morro Castle disaster was dedicated on the south side of Convention Hall in Asbury Park, very near the spot where the burned-out hull of the ship finally came aground. The day marked the 75th anniversary of the disaster.

The Morro Castle ship's bell is now at SUNY Maritime's Fort Schuyler.

Anchor
In September 2023, the Morro Castle's 5-ton Baldt anchor was recovered from the water in Point Pleasant Beach in New Jersey.

In film and television
Despite the tragedy and mystery of the Morro Castle disaster, no film for theatrical distribution nor even a television movie was made of the story, excepting the aforementioned HBO dramatization and A&E documentary. Shortly after he was hired by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer following his emigration from Germany to the United States in 1934, Fritz Lang collaborated with Hollywood scriptwriter Oliver H. P. Garrett on a screenplay about the disaster entitled Hell Afloat, but it was never filmed. However, there have been references to it:
 * Movietone News Reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI0wWSEe3t0
 * A fire aboard a ship making the New York-Cuba run, an evident allusion to the Morro Castle, is shown in the film Exclusive Story (1936).
 * At the end of the Spencer Tracy film Dante's Inferno (1935), a gambling cruise ship (resembling the Morro Castle) is completely ablaze.
 * In the film Boy Meets Girl (1938), James Cagney (in dictating a letter to Pat O'Brien regarding what a third person is supposed to be saying to his missing wife) says, "I did not go down on the Morro Castle!"
 * In the early moments of the film, Doomed to Die (1940, one of six Monogram releases featuring the fictional Mr. Wong), film footage of the burning Morro Castle is shown, although for the film's plot it is referred as the Wentworth Castle.
 * An exploitative mention is also made in the detective film The Man Who Wouldn't Die (1942): one suspect was assumed to have perished on this ship but survived, unbeknownst to another.
 * The movie Minstrel Man (1944) features the fire and sinking of the Morro Castle.
 * In the film The World Was His Jury (1958), Edmond O'Brien portrays an attorney defending a ship's first officer on trial for negligence after the ocean liner he has taken command of (following the sudden death of the original captain during the voyage) burns to a hulk off NY/NJ, killing a great many passengers. Most of the case's points closely mirror those of the Morro Castle.
 * Newsreel footage of the disaster opens The Untouchables TV episode "The Underground Court", in which a fictitious character in the episode is an apparent survivor of the tragedy.
 * The sinking was featured in an episode of Mysteries at the Museum (2013).

In music

 * The first artists to remember the tragedy of the Morro Castle were the members of the Trio Matamoros of Santiago de Cuba, with the song "El desastre del Morro Castle" (1934).
 * The Morro Castle disaster occurred when the musical Anything Goes, a comedy set aboard an ocean liner, was about to open. Under the circumstances, the producers decided that going ahead would be in bad taste, and cancelled the opening. The musical was then subjected to several rewrites before finally opening later in 1934.
 * In 1970, the West Coast music critic Philip Elwood described the early Bruce Springsteen-led, and Asbury Park-based, Steel Mill as "the first big thing that's happened to Asbury Park since the good ship Morro Castle burned to the waterline of that Jersey beach in '34".

In literature

 * The ship is referenced in Samuel Beckett's novel Murphy, published in 1938.
 * The ship provided inspiration for William Burroughs' "Twilight's Last Gleamings", a version of which was published in his Nova Express.
 * The ship is referenced in William H. Gass’s novel The Tunnel.
 * The ship is the main focal point in Chanel Cleeton’s novel The Cuban Heiress.
 * The ship disaster is covered in the article "Pleasure Cruise for 137 Corpses" "Sheldon Lord" (Lawrence Block) published in REAL MEN November 1958.

Atom Heart Mother (suite)

"Atom Heart Mother" is a six-part suite by the progressive rock band Pink Floyd, composed by all members of the band and Ron Geesin. It appeared on the Atom Heart Mother album in 1970, taking up the first side of the original vinyl record. At 23:38, it is Pink Floyd's longest uncut studio piece. Pink Floyd performed it live between 1970 and 1972, occasionally with a brass section and choir in 1970–71.

Recording and composition
Recording began with the drum and bass parts, recorded in one take for the entire suite, resulting in an inconsistent tempo throughout the song. Roger Waters and Nick Mason had to play for twenty-three minutes straight.

When Roger Waters heard David Gilmour playing the guitar parts for this track, he said that he thought it sounded like the theme song from the western film The Magnificent Seven.

The track was one of only two Pink Floyd compositions credited as being co-written by someone outside the band prior to 1987 (not counting Clare Torry's contribution to "The Great Gig in the Sky", for which she was retroactively credited, following a settlement with Pink Floyd). The other song is "The Trial", from the 1979 album The Wall, co-written by Roger Waters and producer Bob Ezrin.

Attempted film use
Stanley Kubrick wanted to use this track for his film A Clockwork Orange; however, the band refused permission. Kubrick did, however, include the album cover in the film. It can be seen on a shelf in the music shop scene. Years later, Kubrick refused Roger Waters permission to use audio samples from his film 2001: A Space Odyssey on Waters' solo album Amused to Death.

Live
The band were initially enthusiastic about performing the suite. An early performance was taped for the San Francisco television station KQED, featuring just the band, on 28 April 1970. Two major performances were at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music on 27 June and the "Blackhill's Garden Party" in Hyde Park, London on 18 July, convened by the band's erstwhile management partnership, Blackhill Enterprises. On both occasions the band were accompanied by the John Alldis Choir and the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble. Later, the band took a full brass section and choir on tour just for the purpose of performing this piece. However, this caused the tour to lose money, and the band found problems with the hired musicians, which changed from gig to gig as they simply took who was available, which, combined with lack of rehearsal and problems miking up the whole ensemble, made a full live performance more problematic. Reflecting on this, Gilmour said "some of the brass players have been really hopeless". According to Mason, the band arrived at one gig in Aachen, Germany, only to discover they had left the sheet music behind, forcing tour manager Tony Howard to go back to London and get it.

A later arrangement without brass or choir, and pared down from 25 minutes to fifteen by omitting the "collage" sections and closing reprise of the main theme, remained in their live repertoire into 1972. The first live performance of the Dark Side of the Moon suite in Brighton was abandoned partway through; after a break, the band played Atom Heart Mother instead. Pink Floyd's last live performance of the suite took place on 22 May 1972 at the Olympisch Stadion, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The number was performed live on 14 and 15 June 2008 by The Canticum Choir, conducted by Mark Forkgen, with the Royal College of Music on brass, Caroline Dale on cello, Ron Geesin on piano, Andrea Beghi on drums, Nadir Morelli on bass, Federico Maremmi on guitar and Emanuele Borgi on the Hammond organ. David Gilmour joined the ensemble on the second night at Cadogan Hall playing his black Stratocaster for most of the track and lap steel guitar for the slide parts. The suite had been previously performed by a number of ensembles including the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris (CNSMDP) in March 2003 and the Seamus Band on 14 October 2005. Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets performed a section of the track on their 2018, 2019 and 2022 tours.

Sections
Father's Shout (0:00–2:50) (Gilmour, Geesin)

This section opens with a low Hammond organ note and a brass section. The band then enters with the brass continuing, before the music calms down. Being reprised several times, this part may be seen as the main theme of the piece. This section, as well as the next two sections, are in the key of E minor.

Breast Milky (2:50–5:23) (Wright, Gilmour, Geesin, Mason)

A cello solo begins, accompanied by bass guitar and organ, with drums joining later. This is followed by a double-tracked slide guitar solo. The choir joins in at the end of this section.

Mother Fore (5:23–10:13) (Gilmour, Wright, Geesin)

Picking up directly after the last note of the guitar solo, the organ (with quiet bass and drums) takes over for a five-minute ostinato sequence, playing chords based on E-minor, gradually joined by soprano voices and then a choir. The voices deliver a crescendo, then die down.

Funky Dung (10:13–15:28) (Wright, Waters, Gilmour)

Introduced by a key change from E minor to G minor, this section features a simple band jam session. It contains a second, much bluesier guitar solo. With the introduction of a sustained note on a Farfisa organ, and grand piano, this section changes into a chanting section by the choir. The song then changes key back to E minor, building to a reprise of the main theme from "Father's Shout".

Mind Your Throats Please (15:28–19:12) (Wright, Gilmour, Mason, Waters)

This is the "noise" piece in the song, divided into two parts:

Part one (15:28–17:42) is composed mainly of electronic noises. It is the only section on this album to feature the Mellotron; Wright uses the "3 Violins", "Brass" and "Flute" registration in order to create the dissonant chord clusters throughout this sound collage. A distorted voice says "Here is a loud announcement!" about 10 seconds before the next part starts. This section ends with a sound effect from the EMI archive of a steam train passing.

Part two (17:42–19:12) uses various instruments fading in and out, many of which are recognizable from earlier in the suite, and also features a Leslie speaker used on a piano, an effect that is used again in "Echoes". The same brass part that opens the song is heard over this section, culminating with Nick Mason's distorted voice shouting, "Silence in the studio!".

Remergence (19:12–23:44) (Gilmour, Geesin, Wright)

This part begins with a reprise of the "Father's Shout" main theme, which then quietens into an abridged reprise of the cello solo, followed by a double layered guitar section reminiscent of the first slide solo. This leads into a final reprise of the "Father's Shout" theme with the entire brass section and choir, ending with a long resolve to E major from the choir and brass.

Alternative section divisions

Vinyl and most CD editions of the album do not split the suite into physical tracks, and the matching of titles to sections as shown above is not universally accepted. One of the CD editions on EMI has different track divisions as shown below, but this has not been proven to be officially sanctioned, and other divisions have been proposed as well.

 * 1) Father's Shout (00:00–05:20)
 * 2) Breast Milky (5:21–10:09)
 * 3) Mother Fore (10:10–15:26)
 * 4) Funky Dung (15:27–17:44)
 * 5) Mind Your Throats Please (17:45–19:49)
 * 6) Remergence (19:49–23:39)

Working titles
The working title for this piece changed a few times during the composing and recording process. When the first main theme was composed, David Gilmour called it "Theme from an Imaginary Western". The first working title for the six-part piece was "Epic", written in Ron Geesin's handwriting at the top of his original score. The work was introduced at the 27–28 June 1970 Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music as "The Amazing Pudding".

In July 1970 Ron Geesin pointed Roger Waters to the 16 July 1970 edition of the Evening Standard and told him that he would find the song title in the newspaper. Waters saw an article, on page 9, about a woman who had been fitted with a plutonium-powered pacemaker. The headline was "".

An edited version of this song was considered for the album Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd, but did not make the final track listing.

Reception
While the band themselves have expressed negative opinions of the album, Irving Tan of Sputnik Music enjoyed the track. Tan described the suite as "an incredibly focused and well-written piece of lounge music – despite the band's claims to the contrary". Paul Stump, in his book The Music's All that Matters: A History of Progressive Rock, described the orchestration as "serviceable if not exemplary" and commended Pink Floyd's willingness to present key themes through solo orchestral instruments, but criticized elements such as Wright's reliance on repeated triplets for the chordal accompaniment and found the song as a whole showed a calculated and conventional approach to music which contrasted with the "haphazard innovation of new forms and voices" which Pink Floyd exhibited in their Syd Barrett-led era.

In 2011, PopMatters ranked "Atom Heart Mother" as the 25th greatest progressive rock song of all time.

Blowing snow advisory

A blowing snow advisory was issued by the National Weather Service of the United States when wind driven snow reduces surface visibility and possibly hampers traveling. Blowing snow may be falling snow, or snow that has already accumulated but is picked up and blown by strong winds. This advisory was discontinued beginning with the 2008–09 winter storm season, replaced by the winter weather advisory for snow and blowing snow. However, if the storm is judged to be dangerous by local forecasters, a winter storm warning for heavy snow and blowing snow may be issued.

A similar bulletin is issued by Environment Canada's Meteorological Service of Canada but as a warning.

Example of a snow and blowing snow advisory

Sligo–Leitrim (Dáil constituency)

Sligo–Leitrim is a parliamentary constituency that has been represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas, from the 2016 general election. The constituency elects 4 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV). Another constituency of the same name existed from 1948 to 2007.

1948–2007
The Sligo–Leitrim constituency was created under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947, and first used at the 1948 general election. It replaced the two previous constituencies of Sligo and Leitrim, which had been created at the 1937 general election to replace the 1923–1937 Leitrim–Sligo constituency.

The constituency was abolished at the 2007 general election, and replaced by two new constituencies: Roscommon–South Leitrim and Sligo–North Leitrim.

2016 onwards
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 general election. The change was implemented by the Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2013, following a recommendation of the Constituency Commission its 2012 report. It replaced the constituencies of Roscommon–South Leitrim and Sligo–North Leitrim, and comprises all of County Sligo; all of County Leitrim; nine electoral divisions of southern County Donegal, and thirty-six electoral divisions of western County Cavan.

This change proved controversial, and created an unusual cross-province constituency, incorporating all or parts of four counties. Some Cavan and Donegal voters felt unrepresented. One man shared a picture online of his spoiled ballot in the 2016 election, which read "I LIVE IN CAVAN!" Local newspaper The Anglo-Celt reported that several people had similarly spoiled their ballots, using the column of boxes to spell out the same message.

At the 2020 general election, the electoral divisions in County Cavan were transferred to the Cavan–Monaghan constituency, and parts of County Roscommon were added to Sligo–Leitrim instead. The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:

Future
In the Constituency Review Report 2023, the Electoral Commission recommended that the electoral divisions of Roscommon in the constituency should be transferred to the Roscommon–Galway constituency, while keeping the nine electoral divisions of southern Donegal.

For the next general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:

1961 by-election
Following the death of Fianna Fáil TD Stephen Flynn on 24 November 1960, a by-election was held on 1 March 1961.

Training (meteorology)

In meteorology, training denotes repeated areas of rain, typically associated with thunderstorms, that move over the same region in a relatively short period. Training thunderstorms are capable of producing excessive rainfall totals, often causing flash flooding. The name training is derived from how a train and its cars travel along a track (moving along a single path), without the track moving.

Formation
Showers and thunderstorms along thunderstorm trains usually develop in one area of stationary instability, and are advanced along a single path by prevailing winds. Additional showers and storms can also develop when the gust front from a storm collides with warmer air outside of the storm. The exact process repeats in the new storms until overall conditions in the surrounding atmosphere become too stable to support thunderstorm activity. Showers and storms can also develop along stationary fronts, and winds move them down the front. The showers that often accompany thunderstorms are usually thunderstorms that are not entirely developed.

Hazards
A series of storms continually moving over the same area, dumping heavy rains, can cause flash flooding. Each storm usually produces heavy rain, and after a significant amount of rain falls from the storms which have moved over the same area, flooding occurs.

Thunderstorm training
Thunderstorm training is used to refer specifically to training occurring with thunderstorms. It forms when storms tend to back build. This type of training can quickly cause flash flooding, especially if the thunderstorms are strong.

Talk:Texas Medication Algorithm Project

Info on TMAP
TMAP was a way for several pharmaceutical companies, primarily Janssen (of Johnson & Johnson) to increase sales for expensive, on-patent drugs (atypical antipsychotics) by developing guidelines for prescribing. Google "TMAP Janssen Risperdal Texas" to find articles in a variety of publications, from Forbes to pharma-focused outlets.

Here are some in the popular press:

Making Drugs, Shaping the Rules in The New York Times article

State Settles Largest Ever Medicaid Fraud in the Texas Tribune article

Here is a court filing: pdf

Also, I would not say TMAP is a controversy, as one of my fellow editors did. Janssen was caught engaging in fraud, tried in court, and settled for -- I think -- $158 million. The sad part is that a lot of Medicaid children were given drugs that Janssen claimed were in their best interest, but were not.Sunandmoonandstars (talk) 17:11, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Untitled
I'm just a user. I'm doing some research and wanted to know about the Texas Medication Algorithm Project. This entry does not inform the reader about what it is. I am to believe it is a screening for mental health disorders. A screening would have specific screening questions and screen for specific mental health disorders. This entry does not provide that basic information but talks more about controversy. I still don't know anything about the actual screening tool or what they are screening for. Thanks. User:mimlandry

Large POV chop
After going over this, the final two thirds of this article simply had to be discarded: it simply made too may charged allegations without any evidence (at the moment). If the original author can find some primary or secondary sources to cite regarding this controversy, we can add a "controversy" section later. – ClockworkSoul 22:13, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * The bias is now in the external links and see-alsos. How about removing all that inflammatory stuff from there? JFW | T@lk  1 July 2005 13:28 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I've posted an NPOV template for now. In a way, it's even more POV now that the article doesn't explicitly mention a controversy, yet piles on a load of See also and External links that point to a controversy. Surely there is a way to discuss the controversy from an NPOV standpoint. I did remove one of the links under "See also," as it was a link to a search on an external web site and didn't pertain directly to this particular topic, but rather to a laundry list of claims of pharmaceutical overstepping. Lawikitejana 06:48, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Evidence for incomplete study design?
I have a natural and adverse reaction to corporate conspiracy types, but lots of evidence exists for sub-optimal planning by drug companies (witness Vioxx). The healing arts have a long way to go before they become the healing sciences, but I am interested if analyses exist that point to shortcomings in the TMAP initiative.

patients or screening, and age range
"The Texas Medication Algorithm Project (TMAP) is a controversial corporate-sponsored set of psychiatric management guidelines designed to enable doctors to systematically screen and treat patients for diagnosed mental disorders within Texas' publicly-funded mental health care system. TMAP was initiated in the fall of 1997 to provide more uniform early intervention screening and treatment for Texas children."

It isn't clear to me whether this is screening, in which case it is of children, or whether it is management of patients, who may be general or paediatric. Clarify please. Midgley 21:59, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Children? - first page of main reference -
" an algorithm-driven treatment philosophy for major adult psychiatric disorders treated in the Texas public mental health sector. ".

The article very firmly says children. Where does that come from, please? Midgley 22:08, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Article about some other project?
A high proportion of the article as it was simply did not appear in the references - the first one is actually about it and includes the algorithms. Which I read. These algorithms are much less exciting than some people would like them to be - they are suggestions by senior doctors on the order in whcih to use certain drugs in certain conditions. There is an explicit note that entry may be at any level - IE th etreating doctor has their usual clinical discretion. As for the drugs and the comapnies, I'd find that a more convincing indication of something wrong if someone had indicated an alternative drug for each one chosen and in each condition, and suggested that that was better - in the opinion of the doctors writing the guidelines.

As evidence based medicine the level of evidence used - expert opinion - is the lowest rank. Above that are trial-based conclusions. However when you first start writing guidelines, setting out what your local experts do is a very good first step. you can then consider whether there is a large range of opinion, and start to test opinions against objective evidence and move up the hierarchy. As written that was a hogepodge of conspiracy theory, allegations of financial malfeasance, lists of participants in inverted order (the commissioning public body that runs the public services surely goes first, having initiated the project, and those that contribute to its funding later). FWIW, they look like useful aides-memoire, and are not that different from the Maudsley guidelines which are widely used or at least known in the UK. Midgley 00:50, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

where is the reference giving this?
"The pharmaceutical companies who funded the development of TMAP include Janssen Pharmaceutica, Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Novartis, Janssen-Ortho-McNeil, GlaxoSmithKline, Abbott Laboratories, Bristol Myers Squibb, Wyeth-Ayerst and Forrest Laboratories. "  Note the list of supporters provided in one of the references given, in article now. an we expect this article to be duplicated 49 times for the US states, then once for each country of the UK and so on, and if not, why not? Folding it into a single article on Medication Guidelines, or possibly algorithms, would be more sensible than reduplicating it, and apart from this being the first in the US, there is nothing that makes it out to be in any way unusual or different from others. Several of the references do not look like WP:RS, and overall there are more references than so simple an article really benefits from. Midgley 00:22, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Satel link
What is the link? I can't see anything about it in the article which is linked to. Midgley 23:43, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Kylie Minogue

Kylie Minogue

 * Previous nominations (failed): April 2004, June 2004, July 2004

Joint self-nomination by users and. Because this is by now the fourth nomination, I'll be describing the changes made in a bit more detail than is usually the case with FAC entries. I hope people don't mind.

We have been working to fix all previous objections. These were:

 * Use of images under copyright: replaced all images with either screenshots or book and album covers, all correctly tagged as such and sourced.
 * Unwieldy discography tables: moved to separate discography articles.
 * "It reads like a musical hagiography. Wikipedia is not a fanzine" (great quote by David Gerard): culled extreme praise and added documented criticism.

Further changes include:

 * A shift in focus: less album review stuff and more information about her background, motivation and influences. In general, the article is now more about Kylie herself, and less about what other people think of her.
 * Expanded "Image and celebrity status" section.
 * New images, replacing the redundant album covers. The new images now add context to the article, for instance by providing comparisons between the music videos and the works that inspired them.
 * Added music samples of selected singles.
 * Rewrite of the intro section to provide a better overview of the article.
 * Culling of nonessential trivia.
 * In-line citations of quotes and facts.
 * Recompiled "References" section, per Manual of Style.
 * General fact checking, copyedit, grammar and punctuation fixes.

We believe the new version provides a more extensive and balanced overview of Kylie's life and work, while still maintaining a neutral point of view. --Plek 22:14, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Support - Earl Andrew 23:39, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

P. C. Chang

Peng Chun Chang, commonly known as P. C. Chang (1892–1957), was a Chinese academic, philosopher, playwright, human rights activist, and diplomat. He was born in Tianjin, China, and died at his home in Nutley, New Jersey.

Biography
Born in Tianjin, China in April 1892, he was the younger brother of Chang Po-ling, the founder of Nankai University. Peng Chun earned his Bachelor of Arts at Clark University, Worcester, Massachusetts in 1913, and a PhD from Columbia University, where he studied with the eminent philosopher and educator, John Dewey. During his time as a student, Chang studied literature and theater. He produced multiple plays, including the original version of Hua Mulan. After graduating, he returned to China and became a professor teaching and performing theater at Nankai University in Tianjin, where he also taught philosophy and became a notable scholar of Chinese traditional drama. Many of his students became famous playwrights. He became a member of the circle of Mei Lanfang, foremost interpreter of Peking Opera. In 1930, he directed a tour of Chinese Classical Theater to North America, and in 1935 to the Soviet Union.

After the invasion of China by Japan in 1937, Chang joined the anti-Japanese resistance at Nankai. When the Japanese arrived there, he fled by disguising himself as a woman. He was engaged by the Chinese government to assist in promoting awareness in Europe and America of the Nanking Massacre. Chang later taught at the University of Chicago.

Chang became a full-time diplomat in 1942, serving as China's representative in Turkey. He was an enthusiastic promoter of Chinese culture. While in Turkey he delivered lectures on the reciprocal influences and commonalities between the Islamic and Chinese cultures, and on the relationship between Confucianism and Islam. Following the war, Chang was a Chinese representative to the conference which produced the Universal Declaration on Human Rights. Chang resigned from the UN in 1952 because of a worsening heart condition and died in 1957.

Philosophy and activities on human rights
Chang has been described as a renaissance man. He was a playwright, musician, diplomat; a lover of traditional Chinese literature and music and someone who knew both Western and Islamic culture. His philosophy was strongly based on the teachings of Confucius. At the first meeting of United Nations Economic and Social Council he quoted Mencius stating that ECOSOC's highest aim should be to "subdue people with goodness." He also argued that many influential western thinkers on rights were guided by Chinese ideas. "In the 18th century, when progressive ideas with respect to human rights had been first put forward in Europe, translations of Chinese philosophers had been known to, and had inspired, such thinkers as Voltaire, Quesnay and Diderot in their humanistic revolt against feudalism," he told the UN General Assembly in 1948.

On the Universal Declaration of Human Rights drafting committee, he served both as an effective Asian delegate and also as a mediator when the negotiations reached a stalemate. He served as Vice-Chairman of the original UN Commission on Human Rights, meaning he was next in position to the chairman Eleanor Roosevelt, and was also the Republic of China delegate to its committee, playing a pivotal role in the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948.

Fellow delegate Charles Malik, the Lebanese philosopher-diplomat, who was the mere rapporteur compared to Vice-Chairman Chang, did not share the same ideals of universal human rights, which to him was more Western than universal, and instead he heatedly debated what they were and how they could be described in an international document. Another member of the committee confided to his diary that Chang and Malik "hate[d] each other." Yet by most accounts, Chang and Malik were the philosophical leaders of the deliberations. Malik argued for conservative Christian views, while Chang argued that the modern world should pay heed to international views, and frequently brought up Chinese philosophers such as Mencius not because they were Chinese, but because their ideas had universal validity. In a speech, Malik stated that there were too many people to thank, but singled out Chang, who was considered a renaissance man for his work in directing plays, diplomacy, philosophy, and other intellectual pursuits, and acknowledged Chang's ideas as the philosophical backbone of the declaration.

Winter storm watch

A winter storm watch is issued by the National Weather Service of the United States when there is a possibility of heavy snow or potential of significant ice accumulations, without meeting a specific other winter criteria. The watch is typically issued 12 to 48 hours before the storm's expected arrival in the given area. The criteria for this watch can vary from place to place, which is true with other winter weather warning and advisories.

As the event of the storm draws nearer in time and confidence in the occurrence of significant winter weather conditions and accumulation is increased, the weather watch will be upgraded to a winter storm warning or blizzard warning, depending on whether blizzard conditions will be met. If there is considerable confidence in significant ice accumulations with little to no snow, the watch will be upgraded to an ice storm warning. When confidence increases in the occurrence of winter like conditions that are not expected to reach warning or other winter criteria, a winter weather advisory will be issued instead. A watch could be discontinued altogether if neither warning nor advisory-level conditions are expected to be met and when the possibility of a winter storms fade. Generally, a watch is not issued when only advisory-level conditions are expected. Watches generally go into effect when the chance of meeting warning criteria ranges from 50% to 80% of snow.

...SNOW AND BLOWING EXPECTED THURSDAY WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ALSO ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA

Rain, snow, and possibly some freezing rainwill develop late tonight, mostly across southern and eastern Minnesota into western Wisconsin. A cold front will pass through Thursday morning with temperatures falling from the low to mid 30s to the teens in the afternoon. Precipitation will become widespread and turn to snow quickly early Thursday morning following the cold front. Snow will end from west to east in the afternoon and early evening. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches are expected across south central Minnesota into west central Wisconsin, with the highest totals of around 6 inches along and east of a line from Eau Claire to Ladysmith.

In addition to the snow, strong northwest winds with gusts of 35 to 45 mph are expected Thursday through early Thursday evening. There is some potential for blizzard conditions across south central Minnesota where the strongest gusts are likely to occur. Much of this risk will depend on how much snow falls.

A Winter Storm Watch is in effect Thursday through Thursday evening south and east of a line from St. James, to Mankato, Red Wing, Eau Claire, and Ladysmith.
