Talk:Cochlea

Old stuff not in a section
I have just added a bit more detail, but unfortunately I seem to have messed up the links to the organ of corti page and cant get it right - can anyone help? Povmcdov 20:17, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

fixed it myself now, I didn't realise links were case sensitive! Povmcdov 19:22, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Have just added formatting and I intend to expand this article significantly - anybody else want to help? I will complet frequency discrimination within 12 hours hopefully, but feel free to add and edit (as always!) Povmcdov 20:28, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Is there any man made device which separates frequencies? The monochromator and the electronic filter look so totally different. --Arnero 12:38, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, the spectrum analyzer is a tool used in electronics to do so. And the Fast Fourier Transform (its a computer algorithm, but I guress it's a manmade device)--mcrema

The spectrum analyzer - according to its page - can only "hear" one frequency at a time. The Fourier Transform requires multiple, discrete steps, but there is only one cochlea and only this single mechanic channel connects the different frequency regions. It seems that no wave effects take place.

>> tuned to certain sound frequencies,

Mechanically or chemi-mechanically? --Arnero 16:27, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

 * In my experience a spectrum analyzer can measure energy over a wide range of frequencies. It only measures one frequency (actually one small frequency band) at any instant, but it sweeps across the specturm of interest very rapidly, so the eye cannot tell the difference.  Perhaps this is not true for all models.  The cochlea is often (qualitatively) compared to a specturm analyzer in hearing texts (if this is what you were getting at with your question), and it would be appropriate to make this comparison on the cochlea page.
 * Your observation of "no wave effects" leads some interesting (current) confusion. At first, the operation of the cochlea was thought to be resonance (by Helmholtz).  This position was re-evaluated (by Bekesy) and for many years the effect was thought to be the so-called "traveling wave".  Recently the resonance theory has resurfaced (Zwislocki) but you still see it described both ways.  For the purposes of a brief introduction such as this article, either description is probably fine.
 * A good "quick" review of place-theory can be found in the first few pages of this document
 * http://www.utdallas.edu/~loizou/cimplants/tutorial/
 * A more detailed but excellent review can be found here:

 * I can recommend others if you like.--mcrema 22 February 2006
 * PS. Clearly, another man made device which separates frequencies is the cochlear implant.

Moving content here
Unless there are any objections, there's some content at Inner ear which I think would better belong on the cochlea page. --Arcadian 00:59, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

The semicircular canals are part of the Inner Ear but not part of the cochlea.--mcrema 22 February 2006

Too technical?
I think the scientific terminology is a bit overused here. I (college undergrad, engineering) could read the article and just about understand it, but only with the mouse in one hand and Websters in the other, particularly of issue was the technically correct, but non-vernacular use of "superior" and "inferior". I might have a go myself tomorrow. Tiggythegreat (talk) 01:43, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it is too technical, but it isn't well explained. For instance the sentence "It makes 2.5 turns around its bony axis". Presumably the editor meant to say that the organ is spiral shaped, making 2.5 turns around its (bony) axis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk) 19:50, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

I clarified the first sentence based on the last poster's suggestion. Removing the Too Technical template since no one has really concurred; after reading the article, I don't see how it can't be understood by most people. Anyone who needs a general understanding of the cochlea's purpose will most likely not have a hard time understanding it, and anyone needing to know more details will more than likely already be able to understand the more technical language. Any objections, feel free to revert, since this is just my own perspective. AryconVyper (talk) 04:33, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Cochlear Microphonics?
Are cochlear microphonics present with bone conduction stimulus? Speculation osprey (talk) 18:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Misspelling
The main image of this article, Cochlea-crosssection.png, has the scala tympani misspelled as scala timpani. This image is also on the "scala tympani" main article. Can anyone fix this? Mmerlo (talk) 18:08, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Done. I used the closest font I could find, Helvetica. Dicklyon (talk) 04:06, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Contradiction between picture and text?
In the section "Comparative physiology", it is stated (last statement of the section) that "One unavoidable difference, however, is that while all hair cells are attached to a tectorial membrane in birds, only the outer hair cells are attached to the tectorial membrane in mammals.". However, in the picture "Cross section of the cochlea" (File:Cochlea-crosssection.png), the inner hair cells are also attached to the tectorial membrane. Is there a mistake in either the picture or in the text? Shengchao Li (talk) 19:46, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

How many turns?
Does the cochlea make 2.5 turns or 2.75 turns? The article asserts both. John Link (talk) 02:24, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
 * This book says 2.5 to 3 in humans. Dicklyon (talk) 04:45, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia articles fail to explain the basic workings of the human auditory system.
My frustration isn't just with Wikipedia articles. I have read dozens of Internet articles and watched numerous videos attempting to explain the human auditory system, and every one of them skips over a simple explanation of the path that sound waves take after they enter through the oval window of the cochlea. This "path," as I'm describing it, gets even more fuzzy once a tutorial starts talking about bending stereocilia, potassium ions, spiral ganglions, and neurotransmitters. The sequence of those particular events is easy enough to follow, but the big question of the path that the original sound information has taken is left out. The article on this Wikipedia page concerning the cochlea has been criticized for being too technical, but that, as I see it, is not the problem. The problem is, it's vague and subjective and leaves important basic questions unanswered.

The first and most elementary question is: what path do the sound waves take to reach the basilar membrane? Nobody answers that question. I have searched the various online encyclopedias, medical websites, university publications, scientific papers, etc., and they all skip over the question and only offer a vague, generic explanation, such as "sound waves entering the cochlea cause the basilar membrane to vibrate." It should be obvious that isn't an adequate explanation. The only source I have found that attempts to answer the question is a YouTube video titled Auditory Transduction (2002).[1] According to that video, sound waves traveling on an upward course through the scala vestibuli cause Reissner's membrane to vibrate, and that causes vibrations in the endolymph fluid of the cochlear duct (scala media), and that, in turn, causes the basilar membrane to vibrate. In that description, the sound vibrations are coming from "above," relatively speaking. But if you look up Reissner's membrane as a separate subject on Wikipedia or anywhere else, it says nothing about sound waves passing through Reissner's membrane into the cochlear duct and impacting the basilar membrane. The articles just say that Reissner's membrane serves to separate the fluids of the cochlear duct from fluid in the scala vestibuli. Even so, that explanation seems more reasonable than the alternative, which would be for sound waves to ascend upward through the scala vestibuli to the apex, then descend down though the scala tympani before impacting the underside of the basilar membrane. There are a couple of difficulties with that possibility. For one thing, there is a membrane at the apex of the cochlea called the helicotrema. It's not clear the degree that the helicotrema is porous. Does it allow the free flow of fluid? The other thing is, I have read that fluids in the scala vestibuli and scala tympani are somewhat different (not to be confused with the endolymph of the cochlear duct, which is potassium-rich). If the fluids are at all different, that would seem to indicate that there is not a continuous, unimpeded flow between the scala vestibuli and the scala tympany and that the helicoteama is something of a barrier. In the scenario described in the video I mentioned, sound waves entering at Reissner's membrane pass through the cochlear duct and end up in the scala tympany, where they continue their journey to the round window.

In addition to questions about the "mechanical path" that sound waves take to reach the basilar membrane, there are questions about the "transduction path" -- i.e., how mechanical energy gets transformed, or transduced, into nerve impulses. This gets skipped over in most of the articles I have read on the Internet. What the articles do explain is this: Movement in the basilar membrane causes stereocilia hairs to rub against the underside of the tectorial membrane, which bend the stereocilia and open up channels that allow an influx of positively charged potassium ions to enter hair cells. What is confusing about that, first of all, is that there seem to be two sensory devices: the basilar membrane, and also the stereocilia. Are they tuned to the same frequency?

What puzzles me is how mechanical information about a particular sound, once it is received by the basilar membrane or stereocilia hair, makes its way to the auditory nerve. Do potassium ions carry the sound waves deeper into the hair cell? From what I understand, a depolarization effect opens up channels in the hair cell wall, which allows sodium ions to enter. And that triggers the release of neurotransmitters. Do the neurotransmitters take up information about the sound waves? Where exactly are the neurotransmitters getting sound information from? There must be a number of players, like runners in a race passing a baton one to the other.

The path that mechanical ("sound") information takes becomes an electrical path and finally a neurological path. But it's certainly one, continuous path. What seems to be missing in all the explanations is a map of the course that the sound vibrations take with no segments left to the imagination. If there is an explanation in the Wikipedia articles that I have missed, I would be appreciative if someone would guide me in that direction. Otherwise, I would hope that someone who has the answers (and isn't just guessing) would update the Wikipedia articles in question and provide some references to materials that I can study to further my knowledge.

Suggestions for rewrite
While I appreciate the effort that has gone into writing this article, it did not really tell me in any detail what I expected to learn: what does the cochlea do and how does its parts "work together" to achieve this (and does it really do Fourrier transforms?). I believe this article would be more informative and easier to understand if it began with a large-scale overview of the functioning of, and interplay between, the different parts of the cochlea. The items in the list already provided under the heading "Structure" could be expanded to explain what each part does in relation to the others. The information contained in the section on "Function" should be presented before all the "anatomical" detail, and the overall introduction to the article should focus on what the coclea does rather than its structure.

Quebec Autoroute 40

Autoroute 40, officially known as Autoroute Félix-Leclerc outside Montreal and Metropolitan Autoroute/Autoroute Métropolitaine within Montreal, is an Autoroute on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River in the Canadian province of Quebec. It is one of the two major connections between Montreal and Quebec City, the other being Autoroute 20 on the south shore of the St. Lawrence. Autoroute 40 is currently 347 km long. Between the Ontario–Quebec boundary and the interchange with Autoroute 25, the route is signed as part of the Trans-Canada Highway.

Route description
The western terminus of Autoroute 40 is located at the Ontario–Quebec border, where it continues as Highway 417 towards Ottawa; the eastern terminus is in Boischatel, where it transitions into Route 138 at the end of the freeway.

The portion of Autoroute 40 from the Ontario border to Autoroute 25 is part of the Trans-Canada Highway. The Metropolitan Autoroute portion in Montreal is the busiest highway in Quebec, the busiest section of the Trans-Canada Highway, as well as the second busiest highway section overall in Canada after Highway 401 in Toronto.

History
Two sections of Autoroute 40 were not part of the original plans: The original intention was to bypass Trois-Rivières to the north (the existing A-40 through downtown would have been Autoroute 755 and the concurrency with Autoroute 55 would have been simply A-55). In addition, a different route was originally planned around Quebec City south of Jean Lesage International Airport (the existing 12 km segment of Autoroute 40 between Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures and Autoroute 73 would have been the western end of Autoroute 440, thus explaining the exit numbering starting at 12). While the right-of-ways of both bypasses still exist and may still be developed in the future as congestion increases, there are no immediate plans to renew construction.

A 25 km stretch of the highway in Pointe-Claire, from roughly St. John's Boulevard, near Fairview Pointe-Claire Shopping Centre, to the turnaround loop, Senneville Road was used during the 1976 Summer Olympics for the men's road team time trial cycling race. In 1997, the highway (apart from the portion served by the Metropolitan Autoroute) was renamed Autoroute Félix-Leclerc after the late Quebec artist and political activist Félix Leclerc.

Prior to 1997, Autoroute 40 east of Montreal had four different names, the first section was named Autoroute de la Rive-Nord (North Shore Autoroute) between Montréal and Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures (km 87 to 196, 209 to 296). A segment in Trois-Rivières east of Autoroute 55 that was named Autoroute de Francheville (Francheville Autoroute) (km 196 to 207). Between Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures and Autoroute 73 in Quebec City (km 296 to 307) it was called Autoroute Charest. Finally, between the junction of Autoroute 73 and Autoroute 573 and its eastern end at Route 138 it was known as Autoroute de la Capitale, a name that is still commonly used by Quebec City residents.

Montel space

In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, a Montel space, named after Paul Montel, is any topological vector space (TVS) in which an analog of Montel's theorem holds. Specifically, a Montel space is a barrelled topological vector space in which every closed and bounded subset is compact.

Definition
A topological vector space (TVS) has the Heine–Borel theorem if every closed and bounded subset is compact. A  is a barrelled topological vector space with the Heine–Borel property. Equivalently, it is an infrabarrelled semi-Montel space where a Hausdorff locally convex topological vector space is called a ' or ' if every bounded subset is relatively compact. A subset of a TVS is compact if and only if it is complete and totally bounded. A  is a Fréchet space that is also a Montel space.

Characterizations
A separable Fréchet space is a Montel space if and only if each weak-* convergent sequence in its continuous dual is strongly convergent.

A Fréchet space $$X$$ is a Montel space if and only if every bounded continuous function $$X \to c_0$$ sends closed bounded absolutely convex subsets of $$X$$ to relatively compact subsets of $$c_0.$$ Moreover, if $$C^b(X)$$ denotes the vector space of all bounded continuous functions on a Fréchet space $$X,$$ then $$X$$ is Montel if and only if every sequence in $$C^b(X)$$ that converges to zero in the compact-open topology also converges uniformly to zero on all closed bounded absolutely convex subsets of $$X.$$

Sufficient conditions
Semi-Montel spaces

A closed vector subspace of a semi-Montel space is again a semi-Montel space. The locally convex direct sum of any family of semi-Montel spaces is again a semi-Montel space. The inverse limit of an inverse system consisting of semi-Montel spaces is again a semi-Montel space. The Cartesian product of any family of semi-Montel spaces (resp. Montel spaces) is again a semi-Montel space (resp. a Montel space).

Montel spaces

The strong dual of a Montel space is Montel. A barrelled quasi-complete nuclear space is a Montel space. Every product and locally convex direct sum of a family of Montel spaces is a Montel space. The strict inductive limit of a sequence of Montel spaces is a Montel space. In contrast, closed subspaces and separated quotients of Montel spaces are in general not even reflexive. Every Fréchet Schwartz space is a Montel space.

Properties
Montel spaces are paracompact and normal. Semi-Montel spaces are quasi-complete and semi-reflexive while Montel spaces are reflexive.

No infinite-dimensional Banach space is a Montel space. This is because a Banach space cannot satisfy the Heine–Borel property: the closed unit ball is closed and bounded, but not compact. Fréchet Montel spaces are separable and have a bornological strong dual. A metrizable Montel space is separable.

Fréchet–Montel spaces are distinguished spaces.

Examples
In classical complex analysis, Montel's theorem asserts that the space of holomorphic functions on an open connected subset of the complex numbers has this property.

Many Montel spaces of contemporary interest arise as spaces of test functions for a space of distributions. The space $$C^{\infty}(\Omega)$$ of smooth functions on an open set $$\Omega$$ in $$\R^n$$ is a Montel space equipped with the topology induced by the family of seminorms $$\|f\|_{K,n} = \sup_{|\alpha| \leq n}\sup_{x \in K}\left|\partial^\alpha f(x)\right|$$ for $$n = 1, 2, \ldots$$ and $$K$$ ranges over compact subsets of $$\Omega,$$ and $$\alpha$$ is a multi-index. Similarly, the space of compactly supported functions in an open set with the final topology of the family of inclusions $$\scriptstyle{C^\infty_0(K)\subset C^\infty_0(\Omega)}$$ as $$K$$ ranges over all compact subsets of $$\Omega.$$ The Schwartz space is also a Montel space.

Counter-examples
Every infinite-dimensional normed space is a barrelled space that is a Montel space. In particular, every infinite-dimensional Banach space is not a Montel space. There exist Montel spaces that are not separable and there exist Montel spaces that are not complete. There exist Montel spaces having closed vector subspaces that are Montel spaces.

Unified Team at the 1992 Summer Olympics

The Unified Team at the 1992 Summer Olympics (Объединенная команда на Летних Олимпийских играх 1992) in Barcelona, Spain, was a joint team consisting of twelve of the fifteen former Soviet republics that chose to compete together, the states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania competed separately. The team has been informally called the Commonwealth of Independent States team, though Georgia was not yet a member of the CIS when it competed as part of the Unified Team. Selected athletes from the Baltic states also competed on the Unified Team. It competed under the IOC country code EUN (from the French Équipe unifiée). A total of 475 competitors, 310 men and 165 women, took part in 234 events in 27 sports.

The team finished first in the medal rankings, edging its old rival the USA 45 to 37 in gold medals, and 112 to 108 in total medals.

The Unified Team's only other appearance was at the 1992 Winter Olympics.

Nova Chemicals

NOVA Chemicals Corporation is a Canadian petrochemical company that has been in operation since 1954. NOVA was formed as provincial crown corporation called the Alberta Gas Trunk Line Company Limited to manage Alberta's natural gas collection system. During the 1970s, the company diversified into petroleum exploration and production, manufacturing, and petrochemicals. In 1980 the AGTL was renamed NOVA, An Alberta Corporation. After a decade of financial struggles, in 1998 NOVA sold its petroleum and pipeline business to TransCanada Pipelines and continued as solely a petrochemicals operation. The gas collection system run by TransCanada is now called the NOVA Gas Transmission Line.

NOVA Chemicals' products are used in a wide variety of applications, including food and electronics packaging, industrial materials, appliances and a variety of consumer goods. The company operates two business units and holds a 50% interest in a major joint venture with INEOS, called INEOS NOVA.

Company history
In 1954, the Alberta legislature under Ernest Manning passed the Alberta Gas Trunk Line Company Act, creating the Alberta Gas Trunk Line Company (AGTL) Crown Corporation, with a monopoly on natural gas transportation (pipelines) within the province. Construction began in 1956 and gas began flowing in 1957. In the 1970s, AGTL expanded into the chemicals industry. The company was privatized in 1961 and was renamed NOVA, An Alberta Corporation in 1980, and again, to Nova Corporation of Alberta in 1986. By 1989 was considered a "petrochemical and pipeline giant."

NOVA Corporation of Alberta was renamed Nova Corporation in 1994. In 1998, NOVA Corporation split in two, with its pipeline business (with $11 billion in annual sales) merging with TransCanada Pipelines and its chemicals business ($2.4 billion sales) becoming a publicly traded company, NOVA Chemicals. Shortly after the split, then-CEO Jeffrey Lipton moved NOVA Chemicals' head office from Calgary to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. While this move was made in order to be closer to US customers, the benefits of the move never materialized. It was also seen as a snub to the province of Alberta, as Premier Ed Stelmach refused to grant NOVA Chemicals a bailout in 2009 due to the financial meltdown and recession, as well as the company's heavy debt load.

On July 6, 2009, the International Petroleum Investment Company (since 2016 IPIC merged with Mubadala), which is wholly owned by the government of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, completed the 100% purchase of NOVA Chemicals, and transferred its place of incorporation to the Province of New Brunswick.

In the United States, NOVA Chemicals has focused recent expansion in the Gulf Coast area. This includes acquiring an olefins plant that produces roughly 1.95 billion pounds of ethylene annually in Geismar, Louisiana, which was purchased from Williams Partners. In December 2022, the company completed construction of a new polyethylene plant in St. Clair Township.

In June 2024, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provided a Letter of Non Objection confirming the capability of NOVA Chemicals's mechanical recycling process in Connersville.

Acquisitions
In the 1980s, NOVA had controlling ownership of Calgary-based Husky Oil. NOVA sold the last of its stake in Husky in 1991. In 1988, NOVA acquired, Polysar Energy & Chemical Corporation (formerly Aquitaine Company of Canada Ltd.) from the Canadian Development Corporation.

The Olefins/Polyolefins
The Olefins/Polyolefins business unit produces and sells ethylene, PE resins and co-products from its two manufacturing centers located in Alberta and Ontario, Canada. The business is built on its feedstock cost advantage in Alberta, world-scale and energy-efficient manufacturing facilities and proprietary Advanced SCLAIRTECH and gas-phase polyethylene technology.

The Olefins/Polyolefins business unit contains three reporting segments:
 * Joffre Olefins, which produces and sells ethylene and co-products and includes the Joffre, Alberta, site's three ethylene crackers.
 * Corunna Olefins, which produces and sells ethylene and co-products and includes the Corunna, Ontario, ethylene flexi-cracker.
 * Polyethylene, which produces and sells PE and includes both the Alberta and Ontario based PE assets. In addition, the Polyethylene segment licenses its proprietary process technology and catalysts.

USS Patriot (MCM-7)

USS Patriot (MCM-7), is an Avenger-class mine countermeasures ship of the United States Navy, and is the third Navy ship of that name. The hulls of the Avenger-class ships are constructed of wood with an external coat of fiberglass.

Patriot was laid down on 31 March 1987 by Marinette Marine in Marinette, Wisconsin; launched on 15 May 1990; and commissioned on 13 December 1991 in Charleston, South Carolina. Commander Michael J. O'Moore, a native of Brooklyn, New York, was the commissioning Commanding Officer. Patriot was originally homeported at NS Charleston until 1993, when she transferred to NS Ingleside, Texas.

History
In 1994 Patriot was called to serve in the Pacific, and since then has served as one of four forward-deployed MCMs in 7th Fleet's Amphibious Ready Group. Patriot is operationally assigned to MCMDiv 11, CTF 76, ComSeventhFlt, CinCPacFlt, and USCinCPac. Her administrative chain of command is CoMCMDiv 11, CoMCMRon 1, CoMineWarCom (NAS Corpus Christi, TX) recently merged with Naval Anti-Submarine Warfare Command into NMAWC (Naval Mine and Anti-Submarine Warfare Command), and ComNavSurfLant. Although Patriot was permanently assigned to Sasebo, Japan, her crew served on a rotational basis from Ingleside, Texas. Each rotation lasted approximately 6 months. In 1996 the crew assignments were changed to permanent overseas assignments.

Patriot and her sister ship Guardian were scheduled for a port visit to Hong Kong in the first week of August 1997. As preparations were completed, the Navy hierarchy realized that it would be the first US Navy port visit to the island after the handover to PRC control on 1 July 1997. Plans were quickly completed for USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19) to lead the port visit, and hold receptions for military and diplomatic dignitaries. Patriot and Guardian accompanied the flagship pierside.

In March 2003 the major event was TSTA3/FEP. This Tailored Ship's Training Availability (TSTA3)/ Final Exercise Problem (FEP) initially designed to be a training assist visit to assess readiness, was turned into a graded scenario to prove her battle readiness. This advanced stage of training is designed to improve ships operations and give Patriot an opportunity to prove she is ready to perform her primary and secondary missions with utmost efficiency and skill.

Patriot executed her deployment phase during the 2003 calendar year. Along with conducting MINEX, she participated in Exercise Foal Eagle 2003, a combined naval exercise with the Republic of Korea. Patriot successfully accomplished 100 percent mine-warfare tasking during the integrated exercise. Patriot conducted a WESTPAC Deployment during the months of May and June conducting port visits in Okinawa, Fukuoka, JA, Pusan, ROK, Inchon, ROK, and Kagoshima, JA. Patriot also took part in the 50th Anniversary of the Korean War with a port visit to Pusan, South Korea.

Patriot routinely participates in a combined Mine Warfare training exercises with the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force as part of an annual MINEX and EODEX. MINEX/EODEX is a joint mine countermeasures (MCM) exercise designed to foster US Navy and Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) interoperability through the use of the MCM Triad, surface MCM (SMCM) air MCM (AMCM) and Explosive Ordnance disposal (EOD) teams.

In 2005, Patriot conducted a Selected Maintenance Availability during which the ship was refitted with the most recent equipment upgrades and shipboard alterations. The maintenance period allowed the ship to re-train personnel and in preparations for the ship's Basic Training Phase and Interdeployment Training Cycle.

On 16 February 2007, Patriot was awarded the 2006 Battle "E" award.

In late November 2007, Patriot and sister minesweeper USS Guardian (MCM-5) sought refueling and refuge from an approaching storm in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour, but were denied entry without explanation by the People's Republic of China. Both ships were eventually refueled at sea and returned safely to their home ports in Japan.

In June 2011, six crew members were given nonjudicial punishment and recommended for discharge from the Navy. The discipline was the result of a hazing incident which took place during the preceding Memorial Day weekend.

Fred Swanton

Fred Wilder Swanton (1862–1940) was an American entrepreneur and real estate developer who served as mayor of Santa Cruz, California from 1927 until 1933. He promoted the expansion of Santa Cruz as a beach resort city. The seaside resort he established in 1904 remains today as the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

Life
Fred Swanton was born April 11, 1862, in Brooklyn, New York. His father was Albion Paris Swanton (1826–1911) who traveled to California in 1864, and was then followed by his wife Emily (Parshley) Swanton with Fred in 1866. After living briefly in Pescadero, California, they settled in Santa Cruz, California, in 1867. Swanton attended public schools and then graduated from Heald Business College in 1881.

He worked as a bookkeeper at various lumber companies in California until 1883, when he and his mother traveled east to visit relatives. He returned with the patent license for the telephone, which he sold through most of California. On December 25, 1884, he married Stanley Hall in Santa Cruz. He operated a hotel called the Swanton House with his father and ran Knight's Opera House theater. The hotel was the tallest building in the city when it was built. It burned down on May 30, 1887, and he started a livery business called Bonner Stables, and then a store called the Palace of Pharmacy, and briefly owned a billboard business. In October 1889 he sold those businesses, and with Dr. H. H. Clark started the first electric company in the area. He developed the Santa Cruz Electric Railway which ran cars from the beach to Santa Cruz and the Santa Cruz-Capitola Railroad to the new resort of Capitola, California, to the south. In 1900 he invested in the Klondike Gold Rush, but by then the profits had been made. He also dabbled in oil fields and a chromite mine.

"Coney Island of the west"
Since 1865 the first of several bath houses operated on the Santa Cruz beach, and in 1868 a small boardwalk was built. Swanton envisioned developing the area into a resort similar to Atlantic City, New Jersey, or Coney Island near his native Brooklyn. In October 1903 he held a meeting at the courthouse and predicted shares in his enterprise would return up to 25%. On October 29, 1903, the Santa Cruz Beach, Cottage, and Tent City Corporation was formed, and over US$100,000 was raised. Swanson was Director-General (although personally invested only $250). He traveled throughout the state selling shares, eventually raising $1.5million. Existing bath houses were purchased with stock shares, and a tent city was constructed on land leased from the Southern Pacific Railroad. In April 1904 the city granted an exclusive franchise for the beach to the company. Although some residents protested because the city had paid for many improvements such as extending roads, mayor David C. Clark (supported by Swanton in his election campaign) broke a tie in the city council to award the contract.

In the summer of 1904 the Neptune Casino (named after one of the original bath houses) was built, designed by architect Edward L. Van Cleeck. The Casino had a style similar to the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, England (the New Brighton State Beach lies a few miles to the south). The two story building with 245 ft of beach front, was painted bright colors, and included dining rooms, a ballroom, and theater. A third floor rotunda was used as an observatory with views of the ocean. A "pleasure pier" 400 ft long built over intake pipes for the baths (called the Plunge) was lit by electric lights. An opening ceremony was held June 11, 1904.

After a profitable first year, the pier was extended in 1905, and Swanton planned further expansion. The Neptune Casino survived the April 1906 San Francisco earthquake, but burned down on June 22, 1906 from a kitchen fire. A large tent was erected and the Republican Party of California held their convention there in the summer. Swanton sold his electric company and trolley business to free up capital, and again raised more money to rebuild. Architect William Henry Weeks was hired to design an even larger complex which opened by June 15, 1907.

In 1908, the first "thrill ride" opened, a miniature railway designed by LaMarcus Adna Thompson. In 1911, a carousel commissioned from Charles I. D. Looff was installed with an 1894 band organ from Andreas Ruth & Sohn. Swanton developed the Casa Del Rey Hotel across the street from the Casino in 1911. By 1912, a business downturn caused by the Panic of 1910–1911 wiped out the original stockholders. For the third time Swanton convinced investors to raise funds for the enterprise. By 1915 the Santa Cruz Seaside Company took over with Swanton again becoming an investor.

Show business and politics
Swanton tried to convince Hollywood movie producers to film in Santa Cruz. The silent film A Romance of the Redwoods was filmed in the area by Cecil B. DeMille. Edward Ferguson and W.D. Dalton (under the name "Fer Dal") and Theodore Wharton established studios briefly, but interest waned during World War I.

In 1914 Swanton acted as agent of actress ZaSu Pitts, and staged a benefit performance at the Opera House to finance the start of her film career. He became so well known the city was sometimes called Swanticruz or Swanta Cruz. He became president of the Combined Amusement Company to build exhibits for the amusement park called the Zone at the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. In 1924 he obtained the Miss America franchise for the state and started the Miss California beauty pageant, which was held in Santa Cruz until 1985. The first "Miss Santa Cruz", Fay Lanphier won the first two contests and became Miss America in 1925. Swanton was elected mayor of Santa Cruz on July 4, 1927, and was reelected for two more terms until 1933, when Roy Hammond took the office.

Prohibition reduced profits, and the Neptune Casino had its name changed to "Cocoanut Grove". Business declined and his plans for real estate development fell through during the Great Depression.

Death
Swanton died in Santa Cruz on September 3, 1940. He was described as a cross between P. T. Barnum and California Senator Samuel M. Shortridge, or the "P. T. Barnum of Santa Cruz".

Legacy
The resort is still owned by the private Santa Cruz Seaside Company. The amusement park is known as the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, which is a California Historical Landmark. and National Historic Landmark.

The community of Swanton and Swanton Road, 14 mi to the north of Santa Cruz were named after him, site of the Swanton Pacific Ranch where his hydro-electric power generators were built. The site of his failed subdivision (at his namesake Swanton Boulevard, 36.95222°N, -122.05417°W) is now Natural Bridges State Beach, originally called Swanton Beach State Park.

Henry Gregg (27 October 1932 – 16 February 2020) was a Northern Irish professional footballer and manager. A goalkeeper, he played for Manchester United during the reign of Sir Matt Busby, with a total of 247 appearances for the club. He was a survivor of the Munich air disaster in 1958. Gregg also played for Doncaster Rovers and Stoke City, as well as making 25 appearances for the Northern Ireland national team between 1954 and 1963, including at the 1958 FIFA World Cup. He later went into management with Carlisle United, Crewe Alexandra, Shrewsbury Town and Swansea City.

Club career
Gregg was born in Tobermore, County Londonderry to William and Isobel Gregg, who soon after moved to Coleraine. While working as an apprentice joiner, he started his football career with Windsor Park Swifts, the reserve team of Linfield, before signing for his local club, Coleraine. At the age of 18, he earned a move across the Irish Sea to Doncaster Rovers. In December 1957, he transferred to Manchester United for £23,500, at the time a world-record fee for a goalkeeper.

He is sometimes referred to as "The Hero of Munich" for his actions in the aftermath of the Munich air disaster, pulling his teammates – including Bobby Charlton, Jackie Blanchflower and Dennis Viollet – from the burning plane. Among others he helped were Vera Lukić, the pregnant wife of a Yugoslav diplomat and her two-year-old daughter, Vesna, as well as his badly injured manager, Matt Busby. George Best, who used to clean Gregg's boots, said, "Bravery is one thing but what Harry did was about more than bravery. It was about goodness."

Gregg played in United's first match after the disaster, a FA Cup fifth round tie with Sheffield Wednesday. United won 3–0 and went on to reach the 1958 FA Cup Final, which they lost 2–0 to Bolton Wanderers. The second goal in the final was scored in controversial fashion as Nat Lofthouse barged Gregg, and the ball with him, into the goal. United finished ninth in the league that season, as their league form declined after losing so many players in the Munich tragedy.

He was unable to earn a winners' medal with United, despite playing for the club during a successful period. He was ruled out of the 1963 FA Cup Final victory due to a shoulder injury, and a succession of injuries meant that he could not play enough games to qualify for a league championship medal in the 1964–65 season, and he was sold during the first half of their title-winning campaign in 1966–67. During his United career, Gregg kept 48 clean sheets in 247 appearances.

Gregg was transferred to Stoke City in December 1966. He played twice for Stoke, with mixed success; in his first match, he conceded four against Leicester City as Stoke lost 4–2, and then kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 victory over Blackpool. He retired at the end of the 1966–67 season.

International career
Gregg won 25 caps for the Northern Ireland national team. He made his international debut in March 1954, playing against Wales. Gregg featured as Northern Ireland won 3–2 against England at Wembley in November 1957, and helped them qualify for the 1958 FIFA World Cup. He was voted the best goalkeeper of the tournament, in which Northern Ireland reached the quarter-finals.

Coaching career
In 1968, Gregg was appointed manager of Shrewsbury Town. In November 1972, he became manager of Swansea City, resigning in February 1975 to join Crewe Alexandra where he remained until 1978. He then had a spell as goalkeeper coach with his old team Manchester United at the invitation of Dave Sexton, where he stayed until Sexton left in 1981.

His next club was Swindon Town, as assistant manager to Lou Macari. Macari used a direct style of play, which Gregg disapproved of, and they were both sacked by Swindon in April 1985 after the disagreement between the pair became public. Macari was reinstated after a fan protest, and went on to lead Swindon to the Fourth Division title in 1986. Gregg then joined Carlisle United, initially working for manager Bob Stokoe. During the 1986–87 season Gregg succeeded Stokoe as Carlisle manager, but he was unable to prevent them from suffering relegation to the Fourth Division. Gregg left Carlisle during the autumn of 1987.

Television appearances and portrayals
Gregg appeared in a number of television programmes about Manchester United and the Munich air disaster, including Munich: End of a Dream – a 1998 documentary that marked the 40th anniversary of the crash.

On the 50th anniversary of the air crash he appeared in the documentary One Life: Munich Air Disaster, broadcast 6 February 2008 on the BBC, in which he returned to the scene of the crash and the hospital for the first time and also met Zoran Lukić, the son of Mrs Vera Lukić, a Serbian woman (the wife of a Yugoslav diplomat) who was pregnant with Zoran at the time of the disaster. It was Gregg who had saved Mrs Lukić (and her unborn son) from the wreckage, as well as Vera's baby daughter Vesna.

Gregg made an emotional account of the disaster on a TV programme entitled Munich Air Disaster: I Was There on the National Geographic Channel.

Gregg expressed disappointment at never having been able to meet Mr Lukić, who had died in 2007.

Gregg was portrayed by actor Ben Peel in a 2011 BBC film, United, which was centred around the Munich air disaster.

Personal life
Gregg married his first wife, Mavis Markham, at St James's Church, Doncaster, in 1957, while still a Doncaster Rovers player. Their first child, Linda, was born later that year. A second daughter, Karen, was born a year later. Mavis died of cancer in 1961. On 2 July 1965, Gregg married Carolyn Maunders at St Mary's Parish Church, Rostherne. They had four children: Julie, Jane, Suzanne and John-Henry. He suffered a further tragedy on 24 April 2009, when his daughter Karen died of cancer at the age of 50. Gregg's uncle was the grandfather of fellow footballer Steve Lomas, who played for clubs including Manchester City and West Ham United, and managed the likes of St Johnstone and Millwall.

Gregg once owned the Windsor Hotel in the town of Portstewart, on the north coast of County Londonderry.

Gregg played for an under-18 team from Coleraine in a Ramelton Cup match during the 1950s. In May 2011, Gregg – then aged 78 – agreed to go back to Ramelton (in County Donegal) where he spent an evening, alongside Jobby Crossan, with local people in Ramelton Community Hall.

Gregg celebrated his time at Old Trafford on 15 May 2012 with a testimonial organised by John White and John Dempsey from the George Best Carryduff Manchester United SC. The testimonial featured Manchester United playing an Irish League Select XI managed by Martin O'Neill and David Jeffrey. The match ended 4–1 to Manchester United.

Gregg died on 16 February 2020, aged 87, after several weeks of illness, at the Causeway Hospital in Coleraine, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
