Talk:Betacam

Untitled
"All Betacam SX equipment is compatible with Betacam SP tapes." This is inaccurate; but I'm not sure enough about what IS accurate to make the correction. At the network-owned TV station where I work, some Betacam SX decks are marked analog/digital, and can play back both formats. Some are marked "digital," and can only play SX tapes. None of them can record on SP tapes. I don't know what the siutation is with cameras at all. Can someone update this? David Fell 12:52, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * I could be mistaken on this, as no facility I've ever worked in has realy acquired on SX, but I believe the tape formulations of SP and SX are the same, and that all SX gear can record an SX signal on SP tape. The ability to playback SP may not be present and the ability to record SP is very unlikely to be, but I believe SP and SX tapestock are interchangable. That is certainly what I recall from the Sony marketing stuff at the time Sycophant 22:21, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Sycophant is correct. To reinterate, SX machines can only make SX recordings, while some, but not all, can replay analogue SP recordings. The tape formulation used in an SX cassette is the same as that used in an SP cassette and SP cassettes can be used in SX machines to make SX format recordings. 83.104.249.240 15:35, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

"300 lines of horizontal resolution" i didn't change this because i'm not an expert, but shouldn't the number of lines determine the *vertical* resolution?
 * No. The vertical resolution of analog formats is predetermined by the TV system in use, so discussing it is pointless - it's always 480 or 576 scanlines/frame. Where formats differ is the amount of detail they store horizontally, which is a direct result of the amount of bandwidth available. (300*2)/0.7(Kell) = equivalent of 857 scanlines --Dtcdthingy 19:35, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * The Kell factor doesn't come into it. If an analog device recording in 4:3 has a horizontal resolution of 300 lines like early Betacam, that is most certainly not equivalent to 857 scanlines. 300 lines (note: video resolution is measured in lines, not line pairs, a distinction that becomes important later) means that the format has a resolution of 300 "pixels" in the horizontal area that is equally wide as the screen is tall. But, the screen is not square, so over the whole screen width, the equivalent "pixel resolution" would be 300*4/3, or 400 "pixels". This is a pretty good fit for NTSC, as NTSC's broadcast composite video bandwidth is only 4.2 MHz, resulting in a (very) theoretical maximum of 4.2 MHz * 2 * 53 microseconds/visible line = 445 "pixels" (the factor 2 comes for each cycle you can present a line pair, or 2 "pixels"). And yes, I know that analog video does not record pixels, but you can replace the word "pixel" with "vertical lines per picture width". You can read more about this at the Display_resolution page. 91.158.232.189 (talk) 02:16, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

"Some Digital Betacam equipment can gold standard of formats for standard-definition digital video"
 * Does this line make grammatical sense? What's it conveying? --Miyabisan 13:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

"Typically Digital Betacam found in a blue cassette container."
 * More grammatical oddities. --Miyabisan 13:15, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

"HDCAM, introduced in 1997, is a HD version of Digital Betacam."
 * I dispute this assertion. Given that Digital Betacam is the "gold standard of formats for standard definition" it would be much more appropriate to compare it with HDCAM SR, not with the markedly inferior HDCAM with its high compression ratio and 3:1:1 sub-sampling. HDCAM is the bronze standard in my book, with Panasonic's HD-D5 taking silver. 83.104.249.240 02:57, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Wholeheartedly agree with 83.104.249.240 - this is absolute pigswill, since the only technical similarity between the two is the cassette shell - they don't even use the word "Betacam" to describe HDCAM. I would tend to agree with 240's technical interpretation, but what's an HD version of what and how good they are is to an extent a matter of opinion and not encyclopedic. I'll edit the offending sentence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.85.175.101 (talk) 23:18, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Betacam not s video
I removed the line equating Betacam as an example of S-video. It is more properly component video recording, which is three channels, not two, recorded on tape as Compressed Time Division Multiplex, very very different from an s video recording or signal. --StevenBradford (talk) 02:55, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Deck models
The whole section on different deck models is off-topic and barely encyclopaedic. Does someone want to split it off into a separate article (eg History of Sony Betacam decks) or should it just be deleted outright? --Dtcdthingy 18:27, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Digital Betacam employs temporal compression
It most certainly does not! It uses intra-field compression only. The IBIB structure referred to actually applies to the Betacam SX format. I've removed the offending sentence. MegaPedant (talk) 02:46, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Linear audio head placement
common point between Betamax and Betacam is the placement of the stereo linear audio tracks.[citation needed] Easy thing to prove: Play a Betacam tape on a Betamax tape and you get slow sound. Play a Betamax tape on a Betacam player and you get fast sound. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.174.171.163 (talk) 11:01, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

CP?
"There was also the limitation, that high quality recording was only possible if the original component signals were available, as they would be in a cp." What does this mean? What is "cp" in this context? This sentence makes no sense to me. 91.158.232.189 (talk) 02:03, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Yes, this is confusing, it looks like a part of the sentence was lost at some point. I think I have clarified it.StevenBradford (talk) 09:06, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Cleveland Public Theatre

Cleveland Public Theatre is a theater and arts complex in Cleveland, Ohio, founded in 1981 by James Levin. It is located at 6415 Detroit Avenue on Cleveland's west side in the Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood.

Cleveland Public Theatre’s mission is to raise consciousness and nurture compassion through groundbreaking performances and life-changing education programs.

CPT develops new, adventurous work; and nurtures artists from Greater Cleveland and the Akron area — particularly those whose work is inventive, intelligent, and socially conscious. CPT’s acclaimed education programs engage youth and adults in creating new works that speak to contemporary issues, and empower participants to work for positive change in the community.

Each year CPT engages nearly 1,000 youth and adults in programs that enhance academic achievement and teach job skills, compassion, mindfulness, and community pride. Cleveland Act Now (CAN), the Student Theatre Enrichment Program (STEP), and the Y-Haven Theatre Project work with children in public housing, teens, and adults in recovery to create original productions that are performed in public parks, treatment centers, shelters, prisons, universities, and juvenile detention centers, and attended by 15,000 community members annually.

CPT produces new work by local artists across Greater Cleveland and the Akron area. Through four new play development programs, CPT serves local artists at every step of the creative process, from early ideas all the way to full productions. Between 2015 and 2020, CPT produced more than 26 world premieres, 21 of which were by local artists.

CPT is home to Teatro Público de Cleveland, a local Latino theatre company launched in 2013, and Masrah Cleveland Al-Arabi, an Arabic-language theatre company launched in 2018.

CPT also holds several free community festivals every year. Station Hope, a jubilant community event celebrating Cleveland’s social justice history and exploring contemporary struggles for freedom and equity, is held at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Cleveland’s first authenticated Underground Railroad site. Día de Muertos, presented with Teatro Público de Cleveland and Día de Muertos Ohio, and WINTERTIDE at Gordon Square, presented in collaboration with the Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization, occur in the Gordon Square Arts District. Cleveland Public Theatre is one of the three anchors of the Gordon Square Arts District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Raymond Bobgan, named in 2009 as one of American Theatre magazine's 25 artists who will shape the future of American theatre, was appointed CPT Executive Artistic Director in 2006.

In 1994, CPT completed its first capital campaign to purchase the building at 6415 Detroit Avenue. CPT transformed the first floor used-appliance store into a small black box theatre and a scene shop. The third floor, once an apartment, became the theatre’s administrative offices. In 1995, CPT acquired the adjoining building which housed the remains of Cleveland’s oldest standing theatre. The Gordon Square Theatre was built in 1911 as a vaudeville theatre, and had been condemned by the city. Now the Gordon Square Theatre is an integral part of the CPT Campus and the Gordon Square Arts District. In December 2009, CPT completed purchase of the de-sanctified Orthodox Church properties adjacent to the theatre buildings.

Robroyston

Robroyston (Baile Raibeart Ruadh) is a suburb of Glasgow, Scotland, located around 3 mi northeast of the city centre.

To the north, it directly adjoins Auchinairn (part of Bishopbriggs) in the neighbouring East Dunbartonshire local authority area. The Glasgow neighbourhoods of Balornock and Barmulloch lie to the west, but these are largely separated from Robroyston by a nature reserve. Land to the east towards North Lanarkshire is open countryside, which has made the area a popular location for housing developments. Land to the south is also unoccupied, but is on the opposite side of the M80 motorway, Junction 2 of which directly serves the area.

William Wallace
It was in Robroyston that the Scottish leader William Wallace was turned over to English soldiers in 1305. At the site of Wallace's capture there stands a monument — there have also been proposals put forward for a visitor's centre in the area, at the site of the monument. On the monument there is a plaque in Latin, which reads "Dico tibi verum, libertas optimum rerum, nunquam servili sub nexu, vivito fili", which translates to 'I tell you the truth, the best of all things is freedom, never son, live under the bonds of slavery' which was taught to William Wallace in his boyhood.

Wallace's Well is located around 500 m from the monument.

Hospital
Robroyston Hospital was built as a municipal smallpox and tuberculosis hospital and opened in 1918. It was temporarily used as a military hospital in 1918–19. By 1925, 450 beds at Robroyston were devoted to tuberculosis patients, almost half of Glasgow's total complement. In 1945 a maternity unit was added. In 1948, Robroyston joined the National Health Service under the Board of Management for Glasgow Northern Hospitals. In 1974 it was placed in the Northern District of the Greater Glasgow Health Board. It closed in 1977.

Housing developments
A small housing community of mainly miners' rows formed the village of Robroyston c. 1929 to the east of the Barmulloch estates. The row houses were replaced in the 1930s by a development of cottage flats (comprising Zena Street, Earnock Street, Olive Street, Sheila Street, Winifred Street and Hilda Crescent). At that time an open cast mine and a brick works occupied the land to the north of the housing (nowadays this is Robroyston Park) and these homes were occupied mostly by workers. The larger Barmulloch housing estate was constructed during the 1950s and in turn this original Robroyston village became associated with its newer neighbour.

Throughout the 1990s, large-scale housing developments were undertaken to the north east of the original village on the site of Robroyston Hospital and on land that was commonly known as Robroyston Mains in this part of the outskirts of Glasgow. The houses in the initial phase were within four clusters: Brookfield, Briarcroft, Glendale and Louden Hill. This drastically increased the population of the suburb to some 8,300 people. As a result of the boom in population, the area became chronically deficient in infrastructure and provision of many local services, although this problem has been lessened somewhat by the construction of Asda, Lidl and Aldi superstores.

Robroyston is underdeveloped in terms of community facilities, but a newly opened primary school (Wallacewell Primary) with community access out of hours is nearby. The Church of Scotland has responded to the growing needs of this new community by establishing Robroyston Church behind Asda at Saughs Drive in the Glendale Estate. Robroyston Church runs both Girls' and Boys' Brigades and employs two youth workers to work with the local teenagers. The church building is also used by a number of other organisations including a parent and toddler group.

The development of the Nova Technology Park also looks to boost the local economy and jobs market. Currently, the area is dependent on neighbouring Bishopbriggs, however, a new development which will bring many new homes and leisure and health facilities, as well as a new train station, worth £300 million has been approved by Glasgow City Council, so this should address the lack of facilities in Robroyston.

Transport
Robroyston's proximity to the M80 motorway permits easy access to Glasgow city centre as well as direct commuter routes to Falkirk, Stirling and Edinburgh. Development is continuing at Robroyston, and demand is expected to be high for new properties at the Stewart Milne Campsie Meadows development (near the site of the local mansion, Robroyston House) Cala Homes Wallacefield and Dickie Homes Robroyston Estate which are situated close to the original modern Robroyston development and near the site of the Wallace Memorial.

Robroyston railway station opened in December 2019.

A pedestrian bridge is planned that will cross the M80 and link the north and south areas of Robroyston.

Shopping
In August 2007, the new Robroyston Retail Park opened for business. Currently B&M, The Food Warehouse, Lidl, Under a Pound and Pure Gym occupy the available units. There is also a McDonald's and Costa Coffee based in the grounds of the retail park.

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was KEEP

A Terrible Revenge
This is nothing but an advertisement for a booktitel of a "historian" known for very revisionist positions in Germany. Has nothing to do with NPOV, has nothing to do with serious enquiry of Prussian history. The information about this book belongs to some other place, f.e. "Ethnic policies at the end of World War II" or something like that. There you could discuss the book and name it among others, but not alone like this.

Therefore, I suggest to delete this article (which does not deserve the name). Jesusfreund 11:01, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep real book, is on Amazon (sales rank ~20,000) in an English translation. Without addressing the issue of whether the material in the book is morally or factually correct (which is not our purpose anyway) it's definitely a real book and would have an article.

On the other hand, keep this article, whether you agree with the book or the author, it does no harm to have an article which discusses it in an NPOV manner.  RickK 01:06, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete not all books are notable, and this article does not establish notability. I'm not German Dsmdgold 02:13, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. The book is being discussed. It is reasonambe to have a summary. It is not an advertisment: the book is old and already known. We have Mein Kampf here after all. If there is a published critique of the book, you are welcome to descibe it. Mikkalai 23:11, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:King of the Jews

Untitled
The content previously contained in this article was already present in the INRI article. -Big_Iron 11:24, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Doubtful notability
I don't believe that the reference to the song by Big Black, or the Oxbow album, really belong in this disambiguation page. If neither the song or the album, (or in Oxbow's case, the band) are considered sufficicently notable to have their own wikipedia pages, I don't think they should be in this disambiguation page.

If anyone wants to find out about the song "Tiny, King of the Jews" by Big Black, then they can sensibly look at the Big Black article. Likewise anyone who wants to read about Oxbow's album should look at an article on Oxbow. Unless someone objects I'll go through with the edit in the next couple of days. Blibbka 12:06, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Okay, have gone through with the edit Blibbka 14:51, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I disagree with this. While it's true that someone who wants to read about Big Black's album should look at an article on Big Black, it's equally true that someone who wants to look at an article about, say, titles of Jesus, should go there.  The point of disambiguation pages is that they direct people who've got lost, either because they typed a vague or ambiguous term and pressed "Go", or because they clicked on a link that was added by someone who gave the link a vague or ambiguous name.
 * So I've readded Big Black, and added some more links (though not Oxbow, who don't have a Wikipedia article). If Riders in the Sky (album) is notable enough to have its tracks listed on a Wikipedia article, it's notable enough to mention the track here.  I've never heard of the album; it may not be notable at all: but that's for others, better informed than me, to decide; if they delete the article or its tracklistings, then it will be appropriate to remove the corresponding link from this disambiguation page.
 * I also removed the Category:Jews and Judaism-related controversies. I am unable to infer what such a controversy might be in this case from perusing the list of pages given here.  This relates to the general principle that disambiguation pages shouldn't have categories. If there is a controversy about the phrase "King of the Jews", that needs an article to describe what the controversy is, and a link from this disambig page to that article page.
 * See also Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) and #URL anchor notation for related info on linking to things that don't have their own article. jnestorius(talk) 23:07, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Vapi

Vapi (IAST: vāpī, ), is a city and Municipal Corporation in Valsad district in the state of Gujarat, India. It is situated near the banks of the Daman Ganga River, around 28 km south of the district headquarters in the city of Valsad, and it is surrounded by the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. It is believed that the city got its name from the old small stepwell situated near the Balitha area. The meaning of vapi (वापी) in sanskrit is a water reservoir or a water storage body.

The town originally belonged to the Kshatriya Jagirdar family Palande during The Great Maratha Empire. After independence from the British Crown, the Jagirdar system was abolished by the Indian government in 1951 and the community of Anavil Brahmin who formerly acted as tax farmers during the era of the Maratha Empire received the land. Vapi is one of the largest industrial areas in Gujarat in terms of small-scale industries, dominated by the chemical industry.

NH 48 bisects the city. The western part was the original location of the town, while the eastern part consists mainly of industry and newer residential areas. Mumbai is roughly 180 km to the south, and Surat is about 120 km to the north.

The Arabian Sea, at the delta of the Damanganga, is about 7 km to the west. The city has tropical weather and enjoys three distinct seasons: winter, summer and monsoon, with rainfall ranging from 100 inches to 120 inches per annum. The Dhobikhadi, Bhilkhadi, Kolak and Damanganga rivers flow through Vapi.

Surrounding locations include Daman, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Umargam, Sarigam, Bhilad, Udvada, Sanjan and Pardi.

Vapi shares its border with the union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu and Maharashtra.

The union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu as well as Sarigam, Bhilad, Umargam, and Pardi, only 12–40 km from Vapi, are good residential and commercial areas. Daman and Silvassa attract tourists from all over the world.

Transport
National Highway 48 passes through Vapi. It is connected to all major cities. It is the only place from which one can visit Daman and Silvassa. City bus service is available.

To cater to industry, the city hosts what is called a "floating population". The Vapi railway station on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad rail link of Western Railway has become the direct beneficiary in terms of revenues due to daily commuters. It is the only city connecting Daman district with Dadra and Nagar Haveli district.

A coast guard airport is running in Daman where private charters can operate with prior permissions. It will also be one of the stations in the Mumbai–Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor, otherwise known as the 'Bullet train project'.

Economy
Proximity to the larger cities of Mumbai, Surat, Vadodara, and Ahmedabad, coupled with liberal Government policy, has helped Vapi and surrounding areas attain their current level of industrial activity. The "Vapi Industrial Estate" was started by GIDC in 1967, and has spread to 11.4 square kilometres (4.4 sq mi) and houses over 1,400 industries, the majority of which are small-scale units (SSIs).

Chemical industries such as Aarti, Supreet Chemicals, and textile giants such as Alok industries, Welspun Terry Towels, Century Textiles, GHCL and Raymonds Limited have strong presences in Vapi and nearby areas. Bayer Vapi Pvt Ltd, United Phosphorus Ltd., Supreet Chemicals Pvt Ltd., Sarna Chemicals, Sangir Plastics, Kampun Polymers, Lathia Rubbers, Arti Industries Ltd., Themis Industries and Hubergroup India Pvt Ltd (formerly Micro Inks Limited), operate manufacturing plants in Vapi. Today, about 70% of the total industries in the township are chemical plants, mainly for chemical distillation and the production of pesticides, dyes, dye intermediaries and paints. Other major industries include kitchen appliances, paper, packaging, pharmaceuticals, plastics, rubber, textiles, wood, computer hardware and software, engineering workshops, glass, and food products. Another striking feature of Vapi is the Common Effluent Treatment Plant (or CETP). This is the largest of its kind in Asia and one of India's biggest effluent treatment plants in terms of capacity, treating the pollutants from these industries before the effluent is released into the river. The CETP is run by Vapi Waste and Effluent Management Company, promoted by the Vapi Industries Association. Vapi has the maximum number of Kraft paper & duplex board paper mills in India. The best quality paper producers are located in Vapi and to have more than 20 kraft paper mills within a distance of 20 km. Therefore, Vapi is also known as "paper hub". Even, V-Guard has its own manufacturing unit of Kitchen Appliances at Vapi. A lot of international retail and food and beverage brands have opened their doors to their customers at Vapi's award winning Galaxy High Street Shopping Mall

Demography
As per census of 2011 done by the Indian government, population of Vapi in 2011 was 163,630, of which male and female are 94,105 and 69,525 respectively. The average literacy rate is 89%. Gujarati and Hindi are the most common languages, although due to its need of workers in factories at all levels from labourers to executives, people from all states of India can be found here thriving.

According to 2011 census, Hinduism is majority religion in Vapi city with 77.37% followers. Islam is second most popular religion with approximately 18.37% following it. Christianity is followed by 0.62%, Jainism by 3.11%, Sikhism by 0.15% and Buddhism by 0.15%. Around 0.05% stated 'other religion', approximately 0.20% stated 'no particular religion'.

Haïti Trans Air

Haïti Trans Air was an airline based in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, which was operational from 1986 to 1995.

History
Haïti Trans Air began operations in 1987 with a single Boeing 727-247 with flights mainly to Miami. A second Boeing 727 was received in 1988 configured in a combi layout. The airline expanded operations to include San Juan and Kingston, Jamaica. In December 1990 a Boeing 737-222 was added for a brief period of time, then in 1992 a Douglas DC-8-61 was added to the fleet and operations expanded with multiple daily flights to Miami and San Juan. Due to the political instability in the island, the tourist traffic almost disappeared and Haïti Trans Air found itself not being able to meet its obligations. Flight schedules were scaled back and one of the Boeing 727s was taken out of service because the airline could not afford to keep it flying. In March 1995 the situation could not be sustained anymore and Haïti Trans Air went out of business.

Fleet

 * 2 Boeing 727-247
 * 1 Boeing 737-222
 * 1 Douglas DC-8-61

Talk:Daniel McFarlan Moore

Vfd
On 21 Feb 2005, this article was nominated for deletion. The result was keep. See Votes for deletion/Daniel McFarlan Moore for a record of the discussion. —Korath (Talk) 11:29, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)

more info
Here is a slightly revised biography of Moore that was published while he was still alive, in a directory of prominent citizens of New Jersey, where he lived: DANIEL MCFARLAN MOORE is an electrical engineer and inventor. He was born at Northumberland, Pa., on February 27, 1869; son of the Rev. Alexander Davis and Maria Louisa (Douglas) Moore. He married Mary Alice Elliott, of New York City, on June 5, 1895. They had three children: Dorothy Mae, born 1900; Elliott McFarlan, born 1902; Beatrice Jean, born 1912.

D. McFarlan Moore’s earliest paternal ancestors settled on the eastern shore of Maryland before the Revolutionary War. Moore's great-grandfather was captain of one of the guns, and Moore's grandfather was a “powder monkey” at the storming of Fort McHenry, where the Star Spangled Banner was written. “The powder monkey” later became the editor of the old “National Intelligencer,” of Washington, D. C., and was closely associated with the early history of the United States. He was a Grand Sire of the Odd Fellows. His son, the Rev. Alexander Davis Moore, the inventor’s father, was a minister of the Presbyterian Church, and the Pastor of the Bethlehem Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia; he died in 1910. An uncle, Col. William G. Moore, was the Private Secretary of President Andrew Johnson. Among Moore's maternal ancestors were Sir Arthur Johns and the Earl of Gray. His great great grandfather was Col. Archibald Orme, a member of Gen. Washington’s staff.

Mr. Moore was educated in the public schools of Pennsylvania, the Moravian Parochial School, Ulrich’s Preparatory School and Lehigh University. He entered immediately into the employ of the United Edison Manufacturing Company, and for four years was in close touch with many of the largest early electric light installations on both land and sea. He also had charge of the installation and trial cruise of the first war vessel to be steered by electricity. He told of his experiences in an article published in Frank Leslie’s Magazine in 1893. In 1894, he left Edison's employ to organize the Moore Electrical Company and later the Moore Light Company, and was Vice President and General Manager of both companies for eighteen years, at the end of which time the Moore Light interests were absorbed by the General Electric Company.

Mr. Moore early developed an absorbing interest in inventions. His first patent was granted to him in 1893, and since that time more than 100 additional inventions have been patented in the United States. For many years he pursued the production of electric light by the flow of electricity through various gases, not through solid wires as is the case with the ordinary incandescent electric lamp.

Mr. Moore is widely known because of his having exhibited the Moore Light in its various stages of development at many electrical shows, and of his numerous scientific lectures in various parts of the country before such bodies as the Brooklyn Institute of Arts & Sciences, National Electric Light Association, American Electro-Chemical Society, Johns Hopkins University, and Columbia University. Moore Light Companies were organized in France, Switzerland and Russia.

In 1893, Mr. Moore contributed to the transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, a paper on “A New Method for the Control of Electric Energy,” and in 1894, “Cassier’s Magazine,” published his article entitled: “The Light of the Future,” which was the first attempt to treat this subject in a concrete manner. and attracted wide attention. His paper in 1896, before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers on “Recent Developments in Vacuum Tube Lighting,” excited much comment, so that a few months later, the “Moore Light” became the object of principal interest to thousands at New York’s first Great Electrical Show at the Grand Central Palace. During the Electrical Show at Madison Square Garden in 1898 the “Moore Chapel,” lighted with vacuum tubes aroused interest, as did somewhat similar exhibitions in Boston, Philadelphia, and elsewhere. Later the long glass tubes of the Moore Light came into general commercial use.

Among the modified forms of the Moore Light exhibited at the Electrical Show in New York in 1916, were, a unit provided with Neon gas, and another using carbon dioxide gas, the color of the light of which is exactly the same as that of the best quality of daylight and it is therefore used as the standard of color values throughout the world, and is particularly valuable to the textile industry. In 1910, he was awarded by the City of Philadelphia. through the Franklin Institute, the John Scott medal, and in 1912, Sir William Ramsay presented Mr. Moore, in recognition of his work, with a very valuable bottle of Neon gas, the element which Ramsay discovered.

Mr. Moore was a member of a score of organizations and is a public spirited citizen. He was a Fellow of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, member and past Chairman of the Illuminating Engineering Society, the New York Electrical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He is a member of the Society of the War of 1812 and was Vice President of Orange Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution.

Phil Hergesheimer

Philip "Nip" Hergesheimer (July 9, 1914 — March 6, 2004) was a Canadian professional ice hockey right winger who played in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Chicago Black Hawks and Boston Bruins between 1939 and 1942. A native of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Hergesheimer was the brother of fellow NHL player Wally Hergesheimer. The rest of Phil's career, which lasted between 1934 and 1955, was spent in various minor leagues.

Playing career
Among the minor league teams he played for were the Winnipeg Falcons, Boston Cubs, London Tecumsehs, Minneapolis Millers, Cleveland Barons, Ottawa Commandos, St. John's Navy, Philadelphia Rockets, (also Head Coach), Cincinnati Mohawks, Kelowna Packers, and Kamloop Elks. He played four seasons with the Chicago Black Hawks of the NHL.

Hergesheimer was a five-star American Hockey League All-Star Game Champion, and the winner of the Calder Cup Trophy in 1946. By 1951 his career had totaled 288 goals and 265 assists for 553 points in 548 games. He retired in 1955 as the second-leading goal scorer of his era, and today still ranks 20th on the league's all-time list. On March 6, 2004, Hergesheimer died in Kelowna, British Columbia, shortly before he was inducted into the Cincinnati Hockey Hall of Fame. He was pre-deceased by his wife of 66 years, Mary.

Talk:David Helvarg

On 1 Apr 2005, this article was nominated for deletion. The result was keep. See Votes for deletion/David Helvarg for a record of the discussion. —Korath (Talk) 11:33, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)

 * Agreed this guy is notable enough to keep, but do we really need to list every freakin' article he ever published? -- Dcfleck 15:30, 2005 Apr 9 (UTC)

 * I've taken a look at this page at the personal request of Theo, and have some suggestions, below, relevant to Dcfleck's concern. I've now edited the article rather boldly, please take a look and see what you think! I haven't changed the lists as such. Pasting here what I wrote on Theo's talk page:

-- Pasted-in comments from Theo's talk page, by Bishonen.

Nice article! The order in which things are told isn't easy for the reader to follow or predict, though. I believe that a very short summary, with the salient points only (e. g., nevermind whose guest he went to Antarctica as), should be followed by a chronological account, so that you avoid leaving him in the middle, at the point where he finishes college. I have so edited, just put it back as it was if you don't like it! Also, before you start laughing derisively, please bear in mind that I did it rather hastily—probably, to fit the new structure better, I should have changed more sentences around as well, and my headings are downright silly... oh, well, it's a start, and something for you to think about.

I'm reluctant to suggest removing info, but the lists are very long, and a lot of ephemeral-looking writings are included in them (the complete (?) list of newpaper articles right back to 1973 frankly looks like Ashlee Simpson country to me). Maybe these full lists would be useful to someone, so don't be in a hurry to shorten them, but you could go to other articles on people in the same category to compare...hang on..why is the cat "United States journalists" redlinked when you need it...? OK, got it: the true cat is "American journalists". Now then: 206 articles on American journalists...hmm. You have a better chance of knowing who more of these people are than me, you do it. Look at some of them that would be similar to your guy in importance and amount of output, and get a sense of what looks reasonable in the way of listing his stuff.

Definitely not all the awards! Select the important ones for a few sentences of prose, lose the list.

The reverse chronological order in the lists looks more like a newspaper article or indeed a website (which I suppose is where the material comes from) than an encyclopedia article, I'd turn that round if I were you.

A detail: not enough info on Feeling the Heat, compare the surely more minor pieces under the heading "Articles". Moreover, H's contributions to Feeling the Heat are articles. If you can find out what exactly his contributions to it were, I suggest you list those separately in the article section instead, with some of those full a-chapter-in-an-anthology type references. (Or just give me the relevant chapter titles and I'll do it.)

There are some excess wikilinks IMO—reading this would not be the moment I'd feel curious to read (our no doubt huge) articles on United States, New York City, or Nazi Germany! Associated Press or El Salvador OTOH, OK, that could make sense.

I have edited to reflect some of these concerns, and removed some magazine-type over-cute or admiring bits (young David should not get to splash around on Long Island! curse the little tyke!), but have left most of the above points intact for you to consider. --Bishonen|Talk 15:57, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

End of pasted-in text.

Refactoring
Thanks to Bishonen for all that help. I have refactored the Awards list into text. The list of articles still defeats me: it is hard to tell which are notable. I guess that I will comment out some chunks brutally. None of the lists came from web-sites; I asked Helvarg for the information (the upside of years of journalism is learning to seek primary sources and then verify what they say; the downside is phrases like "splashing around Long Island"). The reverse chronological order for television productions and journalism is a convention used elsewhere on Wikipedia for theatrical and other media biographies.

So, things left to do are:
 * 1) Comment out excess articles.
 * 2) Research Feeling the Heat.
 * --Theo (Talk) 21:55, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Both done. --Theo (Talk) 21:01, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Suggestions and questions
I think this looks good overall. Something you might consider is adding a little more personal flavor, maybe a quote from something he wrote, or judges' or reviewers comments. What makes his work distinctive from others' covering the same topics?

About listing this much of his work: Maybe a tighter format would help (for instance, listing all the 1982 TV work in one graf). And I would go in chronological order, not reverse.

A few questions: When was he born? He went to Ireland before he graduated? Is the "Central American conflict" just one conflict? I expect you mean "video news release" by "VNR"; but I hate to assume, and some people won't know the acronym. Maurreen 02:16, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think that I have addressed all these points with the changes I made today. Thanks for all your help. --Theo (Talk) 23:34, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think there's some duplication of information between this article and Wise use - would it be a good idea to cut down on the amount of information about the "Wise Use" movement, as compared to Helvarg's writing about them? -- Dcfleck 12:51, 2005 Apr 16 (UTC)

 * Which bits do you consider superfluous? I am way too close to the article to make that kind of call. --Theo  (Talk) 17:49, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I've taken your list and interspersed my own bullet points, as well as including a rewritten paragraph below. -- Dcfleck 13:03, 2005 Apr 17 (UTC)

 * Thank you for that suggestion. I checked the Wise Use article and the  key change that has flowed from it was my adoption of the conservationsts' POV description of it.  I have now fixed that.  As for saying less about Wise Use, I am not sure what could be eliminated without diminishing the information about Helvarg's book. Specifically, I say (with my opinions on why each bit earns its place):

 * 1) Helvarg "characterizes [it] as a network of anti-environmentalist groups."
 * 2) *No problem... -- Dcfleck 13:03, 2005 Apr 17 (UTC)
 * 3) "Wise Use aims to facilitate extensive use of natural resources and to eliminate the National Park Service." The first clause tells the reader what Wise Use represents. The second cites a specific goal of Wise Use that indicates that they have specific policies thhat are not simply conceptual.
 * 4) *What is the source for the Park Service claim? It's not in the Wise use article. If it's true, it should be added. -- Dcfleck 13:03, 2005 Apr 17 (UTC)
 * 5) **The source was my misreading of the twenty-five-point Wise Use Agenda; They actually advocate privatization, rather than elimination. I interpreted this to amount to elimination because I see Federal ownership as being one of the fundamental features of the NPS. That is my POV, however, so I have changed the article to be more precise. --Theo (Talk) 16:11, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 6) "The first edition explored the origins of the organization under Ronald Reagan and its covert support by George Bush Senior's administration." This is more about the scope of the book than it is about Wise Use.
 * 7) *It also seems to imply that Reagan had something to do with starting it. Again, this is contra what the Wise use article says. -- Dcfleck 13:03, 2005 Apr 17 (UTC)
 * 8) **Good point. The reference to Reagan is misleading. I have made the appropriate change to the article. --Theo (Talk) 16:22, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 9) "Helvarg identified its funding and the multinational corporations and other powerful figures with which it was associated." Scope again.
 * 10) *No problem here. -- Dcfleck 13:03, 2005 Apr 17 (UTC)
 * 11) "He catalogued the movement's use of violence against environmental activists and the ineffective response of law-enforcement agencies." Scope again; and probably the heart of the book, in terms of its effect.
 * 12) *Cataloged or claimed to catalog? Again, not in the Wise use entry. It also seems to imply that violence is standard operating procedure for the Wise Use movement, while my impressions are that it primarily relies on legal challenges.  On further thought, it's not the duplication of information that bothers me; it's that much of this section seems to contradict the Wise use article. There's a discrepancy somewhere (I'm not asserting it's here, just that these two pieces ought to fit, and they don't). -- Dcfleck 13:03, 2005 Apr 17 (UTC)
 * 13) **You are tight. It is POV to accept Helvarg's claims. I will rephrase this. --Theo  (Talk) 16:22, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * 14) "Helvarg had accused Wise Use of astroturfing" is scope again.
 * 15) *Yes, this is fine. -- Dcfleck 13:03, 2005 Apr 17 (UTC)

 * Here's how I'd do a quick edit on this section:"His book The War Against the Greens (1994) describes organized opposition to the environmental movement in the United States. Helvarg investigated the Wise Use movement, which he characterizes as a network of anti-environmentalist groups. Wise Use aims to facilitate extensive use of public and private natural resources in the U.S. The first edition explored the origins of the organization. Helvarg accused Wise Use of astroturfing; he identified its funding and the multinational corporations and other powerful figures with which it was associated. He catalogued the violence fringe elements of the movement used against environmental activists and the ineffective response of law-enforcement agencies. A revised edition published in 2004 was extended to cover the early years of George W. Bush's administration."...and I'd leave out the reviews altogether, I think. Again, it's the apparent disconnect between this section and the Wise use article that troubles me most. -- Dcfleck 13:03, 2005 Apr 17 (UTC)

 * The reviews were added in responses to Maurreen's suggestion that they would indicate how the books were recwived when they were published. They demosntrate the two opposed POVs that the book divides. --Theo (Talk) 21:33, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

"puts the case"
Is "puts the case" similar to "makes the case"? If so, I think "a case" would be more neutral and less definitive. Maurreen 04:55, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

A straw poll of my colleagues reveals almost even division between "puts the case" meaning "proposes" and "makes the case". I meant it in the former sense but we are all in agreement with you, Maurreen, that "puts a case" is more effective phrasing. I have changed it. --Theo (Talk) 10:22, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Civil warfare were

 * The civil warfare known as "The Troubles" were at their height, and Helvarg submitted reports on the conflict to the Liberation News Service.

is grammatically wrong, this is a problem since "Troubles" is plural, but the actual subject "Civil warfare" is singular. It is also peculiar to call the early 70s the height of the troubles, this was a particularily sanguine period and it is the phase of the Troubles that involved the most street-level conflict, but it shouldn't be picked out as the height. I have tried to come up with a better sentence but I'm blocked. Notjim 8 July 2005 09:17 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I have fixed it. —Theo (Talk) 8 July 2005 09:52 (UTC)
 * Great. Notjim 8 July 2005 10:59 (UTC)

Violence on the part of environmentalists
I don't see what the big deal with my statement is. Environmentalists are destroying private property as part of their crusade. Why is this fact being removed? --141.154.204.228 8 July 2005 16:36 (UTC)

Edit conflicted instertion (I will respond to 141.154.204.228's question in a separate posting): 141.154.204.228 has repeatedly inserted the statement: This position has been the catalyst behind many acts of private property destruction by militant environmentalists. into the lead with the following edit summaries: "Why revert a fact? That is silly" and "It is a neutral statement, even if you find the idea of private property rights unpopular. Reverting..." With three reverts in less than half an hour, I feel that it is time to discuss this more fully.

The postion to which this insertion refers is Helvarg's "case that violent organized resistance is being orchestrated against the environmental movement". The article carefully makes no claims about the validity of Helvarg's claims and we have been careful to source each assertion. I do not know if "violent organized resistance" catalysed "many acts" of destruction by militant environmentalists. We would need a source for this assertion but even then, I can see no basis for including this in the lead paragraph of this biography unless Helvarg's acts or writings were the trigger. Essentially, I find the statement to be POV because of its placement. To me, it implies, without substantiation, that Helvarg has been party to the justification of militant environmentalist violence. If the bald statement can be substantiated then it deserves a place in the Environmental movement. If the implications about Helvarg can be established then I agree that this is one of the most important things about him, but nothing like that came out of my research. —Theo (Talk) 8 July 2005 16:39 (UTC)

I think that my previous post addresses 141.154.204.228's question. The destruction of property by environmentalists is only relevant to this article if it can be verified that Helvarg had some comnnection to that violence. The problem with the statement is its place. There are many things that we can say about the environmental movement just as there is much that we can say about Wise Use but I consider those details to belong in their own articles. —Theo (Talk) 8 July 2005 16:44 (UTC)

 * Just tell us, Theo, how you would feel if your house was burned down or your car was trashed by some whacko environmentalists? Or are you one yourself? --141.154.204.228 8 July 2005 16:49 (UTC)

 * My hypothetical emotional response to the destruction of my home or car is no more pertinent to Helvarg's biography than is my political affiliation. I think that you are implying that my stance is bigotted.  If that is what you mean, then be very clear that I do not appreciate the insinuation. It may help you to know that I wrote this article because someone had proposed its stub for deletion  on the grounds of non-notability and I started from a simple check of the facts before voting. —Theo  (Talk) 8 July 2005 17:26 (UTC)

 * Non-answer. Try again. --141.154.204.228 8 July 2005 18:01 (UTC)

 * Actually, a very good answer, at least in its first sentence. Getting back to Theo's point, the article is about Helvarg, and the proposed inclusion, in Theo's words above, "implies, without substantiation, that Helvarg has been party to the justification of militant environmentalist violence."  If this is true and can be substantiated, then it should be in the article.  If it is not true or cannot be substantiated, it should not.  Both Theo's and 141.154.204.228's personal views and history are irrelevant to that point.  JHCC (talk) 8 July 2005 19:55 (UTC)

Proposal to remove date-autoformatting
Dear fellow contributors

MOSNUM no longer encourages date autoformatting, having evolved over the past year or so from the mandatory to the optional after much discussion there and elsewhere of the disadvantages of the system. Related to this, MOSNUM prescribes rules for the raw formatting, irrespective of whether or not dates are autoformatted. MOSLINK and CONTEXT are consistent with this.

There are at least six disadvantages in using date-autoformatting, which I've capped here:

Removal has generally been met with positive responses by editors. I'm seeking feedback about this proposal to remove it from the main text (using a script) in about a week's time on a trial basis/ The original input formatting would be seen by all WPians, not just the huge number of visitors; it would be plain, unobtrusive text, which would give greater prominence to the high-value links.

Landbund

 * "Landbund" may also refer to the Agricultural League, a former political party of Germany.

The Landbund (Rural Federation) was an Austrian political party during the period of the First Republic (1918–1934).

History
The Landbund was founded in 1919 as Deutschösterreichische Bauernpartei ("Party of German-Austrian Farmers") and represented liberal and Protestant farmers in Styria, Carinthia and Upper Austria. It endorsed a union of Austria with Germany and opposed Marxism, Austrofascism and the Heimwehr. In the 1920 parliamentary elections it was part of a German National coalition alongside the Greater German People's Party, and won seven seats.

It took part in coalition governments between 1927 and 1933 when the Vice Chancellor and the Minister of the Interior came from its ranks. From 1930 onwards, it allied with the Greater German People's Party (Großdeutsche Volkspartei) to create a common list for elections under the name Nationaler Wirtschaftsblock (National Economic Block), which was dissolved in 1934.

Leading politicians

 * Karl Hartleb (Vice Chancellor 1927–1930)
 * Vinzenz Schumy (Governor of Carinthia 1923–1927)
 * Franz Winkler (Vice Chancellor 1932/33)

Legacy
After World War II, when a provisional Austrian government was created in 1945, the Landbund was originally supposed to nominate a member. However, the group was not recreated in the Second Republic. Most former Landbund supporters, who opposed Socialism and also the Catholicism of both the Christian Social Party during the First Republic and the Austrian People's Party during the Second Republic, found a new political home in the Verband der Unabhängigen and later in the Freedom Party of Austria, which is most strongly rooted in the same areas where the Landbund had been an important political force.

Federal Unemployment Tax Act

The Federal Unemployment Tax Act (or FUTA, ) is a United States federal law that imposes a federal employer tax used to help fund state workforce agencies. Employers report this tax by filing Internal Revenue Service Form 940 annually. In some cases, employers are required to pay the tax in installments during the tax year.

FUTA covers a federal share of unemployment insurance (UI) and job service program administration costs in every state. In addition, FUTA pays one-half the cost of extended unemployment benefits during periods of high unemployment. It also provides a fund that states can borrow from when necessary to pay benefits.

Legal basis
The legality of FUTA has been affirmed in the 1937 Supreme Court case Steward Machine Co. v. Davis.

Amount of tax
Until June 30, 2011, the Federal Unemployment Tax Act imposed a tax of 6.2%, which was composed of a permanent rate of 6.0% and a temporary rate of 0.2%, which was passed by Congress in 1976. The temporary rate was extended many times, but it expired on June 30, 2011.

Consequently, for the years until 2010 and the first six months of 2011, the FUTA imposed a 6.2% tax (before credits) on the first $7,000 of gross earnings of each worker per year. Once the worker's earnings reach $7,000 during a given year, the employer no longer pays any FUTA for that year with respect to that worker. Certain credits are allowed with respect to state unemployment taxes paid that may reduce the effective FUTA rate to 0.8%.

Effective July 1, 2011, the rate decreased to 6.0%. That rate may be reduced by an amount up to 5.4% through credits for contributions to state unemployment programs under sections 3302(a) and 3302(b), resulting in a minimum effective rate on and after July 1, 2011 of 0.6% (6.0–5.4%).

Credit reduction
The credit against the federal tax may be reduced if the state has an outstanding advance (commonly called a "loan"). When states lack the funds to pay unemployment insurance, they may obtain loans from the federal government. To ensure that these loans are repaid and in accordance with Title XII of the Social Security Act, the federal government is entitled to recover them by reducing the FUTA credit it gives to employers, which is the equivalent of an overall increase in the FUTA tax. When a state has an outstanding loan balance on January 1 for two consecutive years, and the full amount of the loan is not repaid by November 10 of the second year, the FUTA credit will be reduced until the loan is repaid. That process is commonly called FUTA credit reduction and was designed as an involuntary repayment mechanism. The reduction schedule is 0.3% for the first year and an additional 0.3% for each succeeding year until the loan is repaid. From the third year onward, there may be additional reduction(s) in the FUTA tax credit (commonly dubbed "add-ons"). For example, for taxable years 2012 and 2013, the Virgin Islands had a 2.7% "add-on" when its tax rate on total wages was below a national minimum. For taxable year 2014, Connecticut had a "BCR add-on" when its tax rate on the taxable portion of covered wages in the previous calendar year was less than the 5-year benefit–cost ratio applicable for the taxable year.

Based on their loan status on November 10, 2016, California and the Virgin Islands are the only two jurisdictions that received reduced FUTA credit for taxable year 2016. Employers in these states will pay extra FUTA taxes that are effective retroactively to January 1, 2016.

Below is a list of FUTA state credit reductions for taxable year 2009 through 2016, and their respective reduction amounts (in %):

FUTA and general taxes comparison table
The major taxes that employers have to pay include FUTA, SUTA, Sales Tax, Medicare, and Social Security.

Businesses also pay many other taxes, such as state franchise taxes, business inventory taxes, property taxes, state income tax, federal income tax, etc.

Exempt wages
The following wages are exempt from Federal Unemployment Tax Act payments:

 * 1) Wages for services performed outside the United States.
 * 2) Wages paid to a deceased employee or a deceased employee's estate in any year after the year of the employee's death.
 * 3) Wages paid by a parent to a child under age 21, paid by a child to a parent, or paid by one spouse to the other spouse.
 * 4) Wages paid by a foreign government or international organization.
 * 5) Wages paid by a state or local government or by the United States federal government.
 * 6) Wages paid by a hospital to interns.
 * 7) Wages paid to newspaper carriers under age 18.
 * 8) Wages paid by a school to a student of the school.
 * 9) Wages paid by an organized seasonal camp to a full-time student who worked fewer than 13 calendar weeks during the calendar year.
 * 10) Wages paid by 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.

I had it for the Mega Drive/Genesis and noticed nothing wrong with the hit detection when I played it back in the day. And I certainly haven't heard it being "notorious for being extremely frustrating for the player," until I read the wikipedia article. I've also never seen it in a "worst video games of all time" list. Also, the review cited is from 2003, and is hardly an accurate reflection of the game from a trusted review site. It was probably reviewed on some dodgy emulator. St4rdog 14:11, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Said review has since been removed. The game has appeared on a couple recent "worst video games" lists, though; GameTrailer's Top 10 Best and Worst Games of All Time is the most famous example. Judging by the comments I've heard about it, it's the ludicrous licensing idea that's the problem, not the actual gameplay or graphics.--Martin IIIa (talk) 05:08, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes; the website shaq-fu.com seeks to destroy all copies of the game. This website in fact represents a large part of Shaq-fu's cultural legacy - a meme, a joke, rather than a lasting contribution to art or entertainment. Failure to mention the site is an omission and leaves the article fair and balanced enough to be uninformative.

 * The website may represent a part of Shaq Fu's legacy, but that doesn't make it a significant part of it. It's just a lone joke website, one of millions found on the web. A reliable reference stating that Shaq Fu is a popular subject for internet jokes might be considered notable; a mentioning of shaq fu dot com - an individual website with no factual information on it - would be nothing more than spam.--Martin IIIa (talk) 04:51, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Leo Labine

Leonard Gerald "Leo The Lion" Labine (July 22, 1931 – February 25, 2005) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player. A native of Haileybury, Ontario, Labine played for teams in the NHL, WHL, EPHL, and the AHL. At 5'10", and 178 lbs, Labine had a long and varied career.

Biography

Leo Labine began his career as a featured member of the Memorial Cup winning Barrie Flyers, the Boston Bruins OHA affiliate. After a brief spell with the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League, Labine joined the Bruins near the conclusion of the 1951–52 season and with his rugged, spectacular style, he quickly established himself as a regular.

In 1955 Labine won the Elizabeth C. Dufresne Trophy, given to the Boston Bruins player voted most outstanding during home games. Labine also led the Bruins in scoring for the 1954–55 season. His best campaigns in Boston were spent on Boston's top power unit with his long-time partner Real Chevrefils and smooth, crafty centre Don McKenney. His fiery, aggressive style fit in well with the Boston Bruins of the 1950s. Labine was traded to the Detroit Red Wings in 1961.

Labine, who retired from hockey in 1967, was also a member of the WHL All-Star Team in 1964, and participated in the NHL All-Star Games of 1955 and 1956. Labine played in a total of 643 NHL games, had 128 goals, and 321 points.

Labine died of cancer at the North Bay General Hospital in North Bay, Ontario, on February 25, 2005, at the age of seventy-three. He is buried in St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in North Bay.

Federation of Independents

The Federation of Independents (Verband der Unabhängigen, VdU) was a German nationalist and national-liberal political party in Austria active from 1949 to 1955. It was the predecessor of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ).

Formation
The party was officially founded on 25 March 1949 by Herbert Kraus and Viktor Reimann. The party's formation had been encouraged by the Socialist Party of Austria (SPÖ), which sought to split the right-wing vote in the 1949 legislative election in order to weaken the conservative People's Party (ÖVP) and gain a parliamentary majority. On the next day the constituent assembly was held at Salzburg, then in the US occupation zone. Herbert Kraus was elected Chairman (Bundesobmann), while Viktor Reimann, Josef Karoly, Karl Hartleb and Karl Winkler were appointed Vice-Chairmen (Bundesobmann-Stellvertreter). Kraus was party leader until 1952.

VdU saw itself as representing the interests of former members of the Nazi Party, expellees from Central and Eastern Europe, returning prisoners of war and other discontent portions of the Austrian population. Although close to the ÖVP, the party also advocated liberal individualism, and did not concern itself much with the "Catholic question." VdU supported the abolition of denazification laws limiting the political activities of former Nazis.

Electoral success and decline
In the 1949 legislative election the VdU obtained 11.7% of the vote and won 16 seats in the National Council. The SPÖ's strategy of creating a split in the non-Socialist vote failed, with both the SPÖ and the ÖVP losing equally to the VdU. The party drew most of its support in areas where in pre-war times the rural Landbund had been rooted and in cities with a high percentage of former Nazis. At the 1953 legislative election, its share of the vote fell slightly to 10.9% and 14 seats in the National Council.

Beginning soon after its foundation, the party saw the start of heavy internal strife between the more liberal approach of the founders Kraus and Reimann and the German nationalist faction centering on the former Luftwaffe General Gordon Gollob. This led to the collapse of the party, which was absorbed by the newly founded Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) of Anton Reinthaller in 1956.

Notable members

 * Gordon Gollob
 * Friedrich Peter
 * Lothar Rendulic
