Pine Point Mine

The Pine Point Mine is located on the south shore of Great Slave Lake between Hay River to the west and Fort Resolution to the east, in the Northwest Territories of Canada. It produced lead and zinc ores from a Mississippi Valley Type deposit between 1964 and 1988. Most of the mining was done by open-pit methods. The town of Pine Point was built by the mining company, Cominco, and when the mine closed the town was abandoned and demolished.

History
The Pine Point ore deposit was discovered in the late 19th century by fur traders at Fort Resolution who learned of the lead ores from the First Nations. A minor staking rush occurred in 1898 when Klondike prospectors heard rumours of silver at the location. There was no silver to be found, and although the lead ore was very rich, it was not feasible to mine the isolated deposit without good transportation to the south.

The first major exploration work was done in 1928–1930 when several short shafts were sunk and a churn drill was brought to the area to drill into the rich ores. That work was halted by the Great Depression. Geological investigation by Cominco after World War II led to new theories of how the ore deposits were hosted, and by 1955 an extensive exploration program had outlined several thousand tons of ore along a 20 km belt.

The Government of Canada built the Great Slave Railway from Grimshaw, Alberta to the mine; construction started in 1962 and was completed in 1964, at which time it was made part of the then-Crown Corporation, the Canadian National Railway (CN Rail}. The railway line was sold by CN Rail to become a short line named the Mackenzie Northern Railway, but was later reacquired by CN Rail.

Official production at the mine commenced in 1965. Cominco built its own townsite which became known as Pine Point. It became a territorial settlement with private businesses, and boasted a population of nearly 2,000 at its peak. When the mine closed in 1988, the single-industry town was forced to close, and the rail spur was removed.

The mine produced and shipped 10,785,000 tons of lead and zinc concentrates / high-grade ores after mining and milling 69,416,000 tons of ore material. Contained metal was approximately 2 million tons of lead and 7 million tons of zinc.

Development since 2000
In the 2000s, Tamerlane Ventures Inc. purchased the mine in the hopes of restarting the operations. The effort failed due to low metal prices at the time and the company filed for bankruptcy. Darnley Bay Resources Ltd. purchased the project for $8 million in December 2016 and hired about 20 staff in neighbouring communities for exploratory drilling and line cutting. The company is expected to invest $154 million into the mine and would employ 320 workers at full capacity. The company highlighted cost savings from the nearby highway and railroad constructed previously for the mine in 1980s as well as the electricity generated from the hydroelectric project from Taltson River.

The mine was acquired by Osisko Metals in December 2017 and further exploration is underway to delineate potential for further development. The Pine Point Project is now owned by Pine Point Mining, a joint venture between Osisko Metals and Appian Natural Resources, that was formed in 2023.

Geology
The Pine Point deposit is a carbonate-hosted lead-zinc ore deposits (Mississippi Valley Type deposit)]]. It consists of a series of more than 80 bodies of lead-zinc mineralization distributed along a trend about 65 km long by about 24 km wide. The ore is localized in solution-collapse (karst) structures where sulfide minerals preferentially replaced some of the carbonate host rocks, dolomite and limestone), of the Presqu'ile Formation. Minerals present include galena, sphalerite, marcasite, pyrite, dolomite, calcite, sulphur and bitumen. The sulfide minerals were probably deposited by hydrothermal fluids that rose along an underlying shear zone.

Huchi
Delete. I have removed wrong information, and what remains is a useless explanation on an Ainu word. Huci is the correct Ainu Romanization, not huchi. - TAKASUGI Shinji 01:21, 2005 Apr 12 (UTC)
 * TRANSWIKI to Wiktionary. 132.205.95.62 02:17, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Even if the Mount Fuji etymology is definitely academically wrong, it seems to have some currency, and this should be explained in the article. More important, as Huchi is a major Ainu deity (a fire goddess) as well as just the word for fire, it has the potential to become a real article if anyone can research the topic a bit more.--Pharos 03:28, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * It's neither the word for fire nor the name of fire god. It just means grandmother.  See Talk:Mount Fuji. - TAKASUGI Shinji 09:56, 2005 Apr 12 (UTC)
 * I just transwikied to wiktionary, (Wiktionary:Transwiki:Huchi), as it is only info about word now. I would recommend simply redirecting to Ainu, as the "Religion" section already has a sentence about Huchi. But if it can be made substantial enough to stand on its own, (a god should have that potential) that's good too, but it is obscure. (~200k ppl.) --Dmcdevit 03:54, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * That is, if it really does mean a fire god. --Dmcdevit 16:55, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. From Shinji's statement, it seems that the god in question was named Ape-huci-kamuy, not "Huchi", which would at most be a redirect. - Mustafaa 06:53, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Pine Point, Northwest Territories

Pine Point is an abandoned locality that formerly held town status near the south shore of Great Slave Lake between the towns of Hay River and Fort Resolution in the Northwest Territories of Canada. It was built to serve the work force at the Pine Point Mine, an open-pit mine that produced lead and zinc ores. The town's population peaked at 1,915 in 1976, but was abandoned and deconstructed in 1988 after the mine closed in 1987.

History
Construction of both the Pine Point mine and the community commenced in 1962. Pine Point incorporated as a town on April 1, 1974.

The mine was closed in 1987, forcing the single-industry town to close in 1988. Mike Lenton was the town's last mayor. Pine Point houses were sold cheaply, and many of the buildings were then moved to Fort Resolution (including the ice arena), Hay River and northern Alberta while the remaining buildings were demolished. The Town of Pine Point was absorbed into Unorganized Fort Smith on January 1, 1996. Today the site is completely abandoned, although there is still evidence of the street layout.

Pine Point is the subject of Welcome to Pine Point, a 2011 web documentary created by Michael Simons and Paul Shoebridge and produced by the National Film Board of Canada. The web documentary includes audiovisual material and mementos compiled by former resident Richard Cloutier for his own website, Pine Point Revisited.

The song "Pine Point" by the Toronto, Ontario band PUP, is a non-fictional story about the town.

Demographics
As an unincorporated place, Pine Point's population was first recorded by Statistics Canada as 459 in 1966, an increase from a 1961 population of only 1. It then grew to a population of 1,225 in the 1971 census. By 1976, Pine Point held town status and reached a peak population of 1,915. The town's population slightly declined to 1,861 by 1981 and then declined further to 1,558 by 1986. The population exodus that followed closure of the mine left a population of only 9 in 1991.

Education
Pine Point had two schools – Galena Heights Elementary School (grades K-6) and Matonabbee School (grades 7-12). Matonabbee School burned down on February 1, 1980, after which was replaced by a new building in the same location. The last graduating class was in 1988 after the mine's closure.

Places of worship

 * Anglican Church, the name of which is not known
 * Catholic Church, St. John the Baptist
 * Pine Point Pentecostal Church

Transportation
Pine Point was along the Fort Resolution Highway, and the Mackenzie Northern Railway, which was owned by the Canadian National Railway. Ore concentrates from the mine were moved south by the railroad. The town also had a small airport.

Notable people

 * Everett Klippert, last Canadian sent to jail for being gay
 * Geoff Sanderson, professional ice hockey player

Talk:Inglourious Basterds

final paragraph under 'development'
paragraph beginning with "the film's title was inspired by the english-language title of director Enzo" has some rough bits, specifically "the Germans di not want a word" and then some incorrect(?) reference inserts. I am not good enough at wikipedia to edit this myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.65.5.186 (talk) 09:40, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

"Nazis" vs "German soldiers"
Dear, Samurai Kung fu Cowboy do you carefully watched the movie? I do not agree that there were some "Nazis" in that scene, there is no reliable source about this and even internal dialogues contradict this statement. In that scene there were ordinary soldiers from the Wehrmacht about whose political preferences absolutely nothing was known, with the same success they could be called "communists" or "liberal-democrats", for example. This scene is the nearly same of the scene from the first chapter. In it, the allies commit war crimes against innocent people from among the prisoners of war, who were labeled "Nazis", by analogy with how Hans Landa from the first scene called the Jews "rats" in order to get the moral right to "hunt" and kill them. This is the opinion of many reviewers of this film and nearly all who ever watched that film because it's so obvious. This film is a product of a postmodern deconstructive experiment satire on American films of the past where there is a "good" attractive-hero side and a nasty-"bad" villainous side (plus a bunch of references to westerns). Not surprisingly, according to the script here, the most charismatic, educated and intelligent character here is the Nazi Hans Landa, and the most unpleasant, cruel and ridiculous are the "Basterds" led by the character of Brad Pitt. Therefore, there is no point in the vague term "Nazis" that draws in the reader's imagination the SS or Gestapo who only do what they commit war crimes and at least in some part "deserved" the fate of the participants in the scene. HernánCortés1518 (talk) 21:25, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Honestly, you seem like a Nazi sympathizer who's trying to defend them. Tarantino's intentions were nuanced for sure but never intended to sympathize for the Nazis. And regardless of our interpretation the plot and characters in the film are straight forward and they are Nazis. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 22:16, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

 * If I wanted to "defend the Nazis", I would not insist that being German in Germany in 1933-1945 and serving in its armed forces isn't enough reason to be considered a Nazi, especially since none of the savagely killed German soldiers in a particular scene was not named as such. I would then simply agree with you that all Germans are Nazis, because these "Nazis" in this film are portrayed as victims, along with the Jews. Tarantino doesn't really empathize with the Nazis, just as he obviously doesn't empathize with those who dehumanize innocent people by calling them "Nazis". But we are trying to improve the article without discussing the identity of the editors, so I think a third opinion is needed here, since you are so uncompromisingly defending non-neutral language, refusing to seek compromise and getting personal. HernánCortés1518 (talk) 12:51, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

 * You are talking about an analysis of the film. Not a plot synopsis. And you are welcome to argue whatever you want but personal analysis and original research are not used in a plot synopsis or anywhere on a Wikipedia page. Honestly the language is neutral. The German soldiers who fought in WWII are referred to commonly as Nazi soldiers and fought for the Nazi party and to further their cause. However, even if that was not the case it is how they were referred to and portrayed as in the film. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 20:43, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Also, in order to change anything from a common term like Nazi or Nazi soldier especially when it's the language used in the film is going to take more than one more opinion. It would take consensus most likely from quite a number of editors and seasoned editors. Personal? To refer to Nazi soldiers as Nazis in a plot synopsis of a film in which they are referred to as Nazis? Or personal to want to change that in to something else based on a personal analysis? Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 20:47, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

 * I'd also like to say I was overboard in calling you a Nazi sympathizer. However, arguing for and changing Nazi in a WWII film seemed odd. German soldiers in WWII were Nazi soldiers and honestly this film's synopsis seems odd. And I definitely believe Tarantino isn't making the German soldiers out to not be Nazis. I do not agree with your analysis. But again, neither of our analyses matter right now. All that matters is common language and more importantly how they are referred to in the film. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 20:54, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

 * From my perspective: as a person who understands different languages, I briefly compared the versions of this article with some other versions of the article in other languages and saw that only the English version of Wikipedia characterizes the German soldiers in this scene as "Nazis", which is why I initially wondered if the English was correct version reflects the scenario. I wouldn't mind the wording "Nazis" if it was indicated by the cited reliable sources with links to the script or something like that, which would refer to the particular scene we are discussing. But this is not observed here, so "my" wording, taking into account all of the above, seems to me more neutral and appropriate.
 * Also, in my opinion, it is too categorical (to put it mildly) to consider that all people who fell into the mandatory army under the threat of death were obliged to share the ideology of their government, which sent them against their will to slaughter in agressive old-fashioned imperialist war (given the total losses of the Germans in the war, more of which are only Soviet and Chinese military losses), not to mention the fact that they did not know about the genocide, and most Germans denied the crimes of Nazism for another 10-15 years after the war and considered this is Allied anti-German slander.
 * And finally, in the opening dialogue of Chapter 2, the leader of the Basterds explains to his subordinates that they are fighting mainly "regime puppets", nothing more. But he "doesn't care because they wear Nazi uniforms." This is the only scene in the film where Wehrmacht soldiers are called "Nazis". Further, he says that terror is required and they need to be "brutally killed", and their bodies "trampled and dismembered" for the sake of "the horror of the Germans. This confirms my original comment at the very beginning, as well as Tarantino's interview where he calls SS-man Hans Landa the "hero of the film" (in French). HernánCortés1518 (talk) 00:26, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Please indent your comments per preferred Wikipedia formatting rather than bulleting your comments. We don't use citations in plot synopses. Other Wikipedias aren't relevant as they have different standards. But they are referred to as Nazis in the film which is our source. We don't cite it as it is readily available for anyone to watch including you. You can watch the film and see that the Basterds readily refer to them as Nazis and that they are about instilling fear in and "scalping Nazis." Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 00:47, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

 * At this point it is safe to say you are arguing that the plot synopsis of this film's article should reflect sympathies for Nazi soldiers and assume that they were both ignorant of the atrocities and didn't believe in Nazism regardless of the fact that they are Nazi soldiers. You are then also assuming that these fictional characters referred to as Nazis are not so based on the fact that historically speaking some Nazi soldiers did not believe in Nazism but fought for it anyway. That is not universally historically accurate. It would depend on the individual soldier although they were still fighting for that cause. However, this film isn't even historical. It exists in its own fictional universe and in this universe, regardless of history, these soldiers are referred to as Nazis. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 00:54, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Source for Landa Recognizing Shoshanna
The article’s subheading, “Explanatory Notes,” states as fact that Landa is aware that Mimieux is Shoshanna in disguise. The only source cited for this information is an article on ScreenRant. This site and this article are not any sort of authoritative sources, and I don’t believe that this sort of conjecture belongs on the Wikipedia article. Pitfoolery (talk) 17:39, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Plot has a 1955 connection to Walt Disney
The Air Force Historical Research Agency has a 1955 reply from (the legendary) Albert F. Simpson to a letter written by Walt Disney employee Robert Sunderland seeking information on "a G.I. lieutenant" who took "12 Indians" into D-Day "who assumed the traditional methods of fighting used by the American Indians." I'm not sure where to place a reference to it...? Rob Rosenberger (talk) 04:06, 6 July 2024 (UTC) Rob Rosenberger (talk) 04:06, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Thalamic stimulator

A thalamic stimulator is a medical device that can suppress tremors, such as those caused by Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. It was approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on August 4, 1997. Installation is invasive, so it is typically only used when the tremors are incapacitating, and medication is ineffective. Typically, one or more electrodes are implanted in the brain, with subcutaneous leads to a neurostimulator, which may also be implanted. The electrodes stimulate the area of the thalamus, specifically the part of the brain that controls movement and muscle function.

It is notable that the presence of thalamic stimulators significantly changes ECG patterns, and prevents the use of MRI. It is sometimes regarded as a better alternative to pallidotomy or thalamotomy because it is non-permanent. For optimal installation, the patient is awake during the procedure, and talks to the surgeon to find the best placement. Once in place, the device can be activated and deactivated, for improved effectiveness during the day.

Risks arising from the operation are infection, stroke and dysarthria.

A fictional treatment of the device, out decades before the device itself, can be found in the novel The Terminal Man.

Jeannie (TV series)

Jeannie is an American animated television series that originally aired for a 16-episode season on CBS from September 8 to December 22, 1973. It was produced by Hanna-Barbera in association with Screen Gems, and its founders William Hanna and Joseph Barbera are the executive producers. Despite being a spin-off of sorts of the television sitcom I Dream of Jeannie, Jeannie has little in common with its parent show. In this version, the title character is rescued on the beaches of southern California by a high school student, Corey Anders. Jeannie is accompanied by genie-in-training Babu, and they become companions to Corey and his best friend, Henry Glopp, both of whom also help Jeannie and Babu adjust to their new home as well as life in Los Angeles. The series was marketed towards a younger demographic than I Dream of Jeannie.

Julie McWhirter replaces Barbara Eden in the lead role. In his first voice-acting job, Mark Hamill plays Corey Anders, and also sings the theme music. Babu is voiced by Joe Besser, who had a successful voice-acting career at the time. Jeannie was shown as part of CBS's Saturday-morning cartoon programming block, and episodes aired between 1973 and 1975. The show was also included on the wheel series Fred Flintstone and Friends, and had crossovers with the Scooby-Doo franchise. Though a few retrospective reviews of Jeannie have been negative, it has gained popularity after Warner Bros. bought Hanna-Barbera and its properties in 1996 as it was one of the few series not to be owned by them (as Sony currently holds the rights, along with the rest of the Jeannie franchise). It remains popular with the public and industry professionals, and has been recently distributed via two streaming services: Crackle and CTV Throwback. An episode can also be viewed at the UCLA Film & Television Archive.

Premise and characters
In Jeannie, high school student Corey Anders discovers Jeannie's bottle while surfing and draws the title character out of it. Corey becomes the master to Jeannie and her apprentice Babu. Portrayed as a 16-year-old, Jeannie is shown as training the "junior genie" Babu, who frequently causes trouble due to his inexperience with magic., Babu is characterized as having a habit of "popping in at the most inopportune times". The pair become close "friends and protectors" to Corey, who is Jeannie's love interest.

Episodes typically focus on Corey's attempts to hide Jeannie and Babu's true identities as he attends Center City High School and Jeannie's difficulties with adjusting to life in 1970s California.  Corey's storylines also include his friend Henry Glopp; other than Corey, Henry is the only other person aware of Jeannie's identity as a genie. Other supporting characters include Corey's mom Mrs. Anders, a frenemy named S. Melvin Farthinggale, the Master of all Genies known as the Great Hadji, and Debbie. S. Melvin is portrayed as a "snobbish snoop", who frequently sneaks around the Anders' home due to his suspicions about Jeannie and Babu.

Jeannie is an animated spin-off of the live-action television sitcom I Dream of Jeannie, although it has a substantially different plot than its parent show. In this version, Corey replaces astronaut Major Tony Nelson. While I Dream of Jeannie was a family show, it focused on '60s-style relationships (especially in its first season), the NASA moon project and broad slapstick. The humor used for the animated Jeannie, more focused toward teenagers and children, is of the Archie comics nature, with themes of dating, school events and friendship. Like the original series, Jeannie is emotionally attached to her assumed boyfriend and becomes jealous in the face of competition, a staple of teen-age comics and sitcoms. Unlike the original series, Jeannie is depicted as younger and with red hair instead of blonde; she activates her magic by shaking her ponytail rather than blinking her eyes.

Production
Jeannie was a Hanna-Barbera production, with the company's founders William Hanna and Joseph Barbera serving as the show's executive producers. Charles August Nichols was the director, and Iwao Takamoto was the producer. I Dream of Jeannie creator Sidney Sheldon is not included in the credits for Jeannie, which The A.V. Club's Will Harris attributes to the extreme differences between the two shows. Hanna-Barbera had created Jeannie as a way to appeal to a younger demographic. The musical director was Hoyt Curtin and music supervisor was Paul DeKorte. Jeannie was a co-production between Hanna-Barbera and Columbia Pictures, as Columbia's Screen Gems television division was the owner of I Dream of Jeannie. Hanna-Barbera had a long association with Columbia and Screen Gems as they distributed their earlier shows, including The Flintstones and The Jetsons. However, the rights to all Hanna-Barbera properties were transferred to Warner Bros. after the studio purchased the company in 1996. Hanna-Barbera did not, however, animate the titles for the original I Dream of Jeannie—that was DePatie-Freleng—but they did animate a variety of opening titles (including both Darrins) for Screen Gems' Bewitched.

Barbara Eden was replaced by Julie McWhirter as the voice of Jeannie. Mark Hamill provides the voice for Corey Anders, in his first voice-acting job. Along with voicing the character, he sings the theme music. Hamill would not become well known as a voice actor until his role as the Joker in the television show Batman: The Animated Series.

Bob Hastings and Joe Besser portray Henry Glopp and Babu, respectively. Besser was a successful voice actor during the 1970s and 1980s; along with Jeannie, he also voiced regular characters in the television programs The Houndcats and Yogi's Space Race. He had previously appeared in an I Dream of Jeannie episode, alongside the members of The Three Stooges. Debbie, Mark, and Mrs. Anders are played by Arlene Golonka, Michael Bell, and Janet Waldo, respectively. Mrs. Anders is voiced by Ginny Tyler in episode 11 ("The Blind Date") and Janet Waldo in episode 16 ("The Wish"). John Stephenson and Tommy Cook voice Great Hadji and S. Melvin Farthinghill (a.k.a "Smellvin) respectively. Sherry Alberoni, Julie Bennett, Don Messick, and Ginny Tyler provide additional voice-acting for the series.

Broadcast history and release
Jeannie aired on CBS with its 16 30-minute episodes initially broadcast in 1973. CBS continued to run episodes until August 1975 as part of its Saturday-morning cartoon programming block. The episode "The Decathlon" is available for viewing at the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Jeannie was made available digitally by CTV Television Network through their streaming service CTV Throwback, as well as on Sony and Columbia's streaming service Crackle.

Jeannie was shown as part of the wheel series Fred Flintstone and Friends, which had Fred Flintstone host excerpts taken from Hanna-Barbera programs. It also had several crossovers with the Scooby-Doo franchise.  Babu appears in the television show Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics, in which he participates on the "Scooby Doobies" team.   Babu, Jeannie, Corey, and Henry return for The New Scooby-Doo Movies episode "Mystery in Persia", also known "Scooby-Doo Meets Jeannie".   Jeannie helps to trap the genie Jadal the Evil inside a bottle and uncover that Adbullah is his master.

Zuzgen

Zuzgen (Swiss German: ) is a municipality in the Rheinfelden District of canton Aargau in Switzerland. It is located in the West of the Fricktal region, around three kilometers southwest of the border with Germany, and has a border with Canton Basel-Landschaft.

Geography
The village lies in the mid-reaches of the Möhlin valley (Möhlintal) through which flows the Möhlinbach in a northwesterly direction towards the Rhine. The flat valley floor alongside the Möhlinbach is, on average, close to 200 meters wide and is bordered on both sides by the hills of the Tabel Jura (Tafeljura) which have very steep lower slopes leading to flat upper plateau's that are intensively farmed.

In the North the almost circular Chriesiberg (558m) is found and in the East lies the Lohnberg (581 m) with a hamlet of the same name. This flat plateau is around one kilometer wide and stretches for over four kilometers to the southwest (known as the Wabrig plateau above Hellikon and the Hersberg above Wegenstetten). The two-kilometer-long Reckental stretches to the south of the village. To the west lies a further plateau where the hamlet of Erfleten is found.

Zuzgen has an area,, of 8.39 km2. Of this area, 4.97 km2 or 59.2% is used for agricultural purposes, while 2.89 km2 or 34.4% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.45 km2 or 5.4% is settled (buildings or roads), 0.01 km2 or 0.1% is either rivers or lakes.

Of the built-up area, housing and buildings made up 3.2% and transportation infrastructure made up 1.7%. Out of the forested land, 33.0% of the total land area is heavily forested and 1.4% is covered with orchards or small clusters of trees. Of the agricultural land, 29.4% is used for growing crops and 26.5% is pastures, while 3.3% is used for orchards or vine crops. All the water in the municipality is flowing water.

The highest point is found on the southern border of the municipality (637 m) and the lowest at the Möhlinbach (360 m).

Neighbouring villages in Canton Aargau are Zeiningen to the Northwest, Mumpf to the North, Obermumpf to the Northeast, and Hellikon to the Southeast. To the Southwest the municipality borders Buus in Canton Baselland.

History
The area around Zuzgen is known to be settled in Roman times; coins and the remains of a wall provide evidence. The Alemanni (an alliance of Germanic tribes) left their mark with well-preserved graves. The first documented mention of Zuzchon dates from 10 June 1288 in a charter of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta command in Rheinfelden. The village name may have its origins from an Alamanni tribal leader called Zuzo. An important early landowner was the monastery of Bad Säckingen.

The first known rulers were Habsburgers. After the Waldshut war of 1468 the whole Fricktal was pledged to the Duchy of Burgundy. The Burgundians were crushingly defeated by the Old Swiss Confederacy during the Burgundian Wars meaning that Hellikon was restored to Austrian (Habsburg) authority by 1477. Following the country reforms of the Austrian King Maximilian I., Hellikon fell under the authority of "Further Austria" in 1491. The Möhlinbach territory (including Hellikon) came under the administration of the Kameralherrschaft Rheinfelden.

During the 17th century, there was very little time when peace prevailed. During the Rappenkrieg, a peasant uprising that lasted from 1612 until 1614, and the Thirty Years' War (1633–38) the village's economic development went into decline. Also during the Pfälzer-Erbfolge Wars (1688–97) foreign troops passed through the region.

As a result of the Treaty of Campo Formio in 1797, the Fricktal became a French protectorate, forming the front line between the French Revolutionary and the Austrian troops in the War of the Second Coalition. On 20 February 1802, Rheinfelden was made a district capital of the newly created Canton of Fricktal, (Principality of Frickgau), joining the Helvetic Republic in August. On 19 February 1803, Canton Fricktal, including Zuzgen, was absorbed into Canton Aargau.

On 2 July 1801, a large fire destroyed almost all the houses in the village. Additionally epidemics and crop failures followed, forcing many inhabitants away. Other than farming there were few employment opportunities (for instance a small thread mill). For decades the population remained stable or slightly dropped. At the beginning of the 1980s strong building activity started, and ever more people moved from Basel and its suburbs into the village. The population has since grown by over 50%.

Notable sights
At the upper entry to the village two churches stand opposite one another, the Christ Catholic St. Georg in Barock style and the Roman Catholic St. Georg in Neogothic style.

Flag
The blazon of the municipal coat of arms is Azure five Pine Trees Vert issuant from three Mounts of the same the middle one being lower and in chief a Mullet Or or "Over blue, three green hills with five green trees under a yellow six pointed start". The flag with five trees was officially adopted in 1872, although no colours were documented. The green-blue combination was introduced in 1945. The heraldry is an inappropriate choice because the colours neutralise each other and the flag cannot be seen when flown form a distance. A proposed revision to add a gold shield and red start was rejected in 2002.

Anne-Marie David

Anne-Marie David (born 23 May 1952) is a French singer. She has represented both Luxembourg and France at the Eurovision Song Contest, winning in 1973 and placing third in 1979.

Career
David was born and raised in Casablanca, French Protectorate in Morocco, and in Strasbourg. During middle school, she moved with her family to Arles. She started her musical career at age 18 in Paris when she became involved with musical theatre. In 1972, she was cast in the role of Mary Magdalene in the French production of Jesus Christ Superstar. 1972 also saw her submit the song "Un peu romantique" to the French selection committee for the Eurovision Song Contest. It made the final shortlist of ten songs.

In 1973, she was selected to represent Luxembourg as the Grand Duchy sought to repeat its previous year's triumph on home soil in the Eurovision Song Contest. She thus joined the long list of non-native performers to have represented the country in the contest, which also includes France Gall (the 1965 winner) and Vicky Leandros (the 1972 winner). The 1973 contest crystallised into a three-way battle between songs that have since established themselves as Eurovision classics: David's "Tu te reconnaîtras", the Spanish entry "Eres tú", and the United Kingdom's "Power to All Our Friends", performed by Cliff Richard. Ultimately six points separated the third place from David, securing the second successive triumph for Luxembourg.

After the contest, she started touring the world. She lived in Turkey for a while, recorded two singles in Turkish and one album and received several awards in the country. She returned to Eurovision in the 1979 contest held in Jerusalem, this time representing her native France with the song "Je suis l'enfant soleil". Once again it was a tight three-way finish, with the Israeli entry "Hallelujah" edging to a home victory leaving David in third place. She started to tour France in the 1980s.

Between 1982 and 1983, she continued her musical career in Norway. In 1987, she retired from music but returned in 2003. In 2005, she sang at the festival for the 50th anniversary of the Eurovision Song Contest, staged in Copenhagen, where she performed the 1972 Eurovision winner "Après toi". She attended the live music show of Turkish Radio Television (TRT) before the 2009 Eurovision Final was aired live, with Johnny Logan (1980, 1987 ESC winner). According to ESCRadio.com, in 2011, David released a new revamped version of her 1973 winning song, aptly named "Tu Te Reconnaîtras (Encore Une Fois)". Together with the German pop artist Mave O'Rick she released her comeback single "International" in late 2015, being recommended by Song Contest Consulting as a nomination for Austria, (Germany) and San Marino for the Eurovision Song Contest 2016.

In 2017, after a chance meeting in Austria, Anne Marie David, visited Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk and through eXplore Bury St Edmunds founder James Sheen, discovered the story of the first patron saint of the English, King Edmund. She became very interested in the story of King Edmund, she began work, alongside the composer Jean Musy, to create an Oratorio musical based on the legend of this King who became a Saint. The Oratorio was initially performed in Boulogne-sur-mer and then again in Amboise, France. After delays through the lockdown years of covid, work resumed and took on a greater pace in 2023, planning the full English version, to be performed in the hometown of the Saint, for November 2024 at St Marys Church.

Is a flash flood due to accumulation? - Lasaraleen

"More people die yearly in floods (127 on average) than by lightning (73), tornadoes (65), or hurricanes (16)." Is this just a U.S. figure? If so it should be labeled as such. It seems mighty low for worldwide. - Ace of Sevens

 * Who said it was? I don't think it makes a lot of sense to have a section for each country, though.  I'll update the article. -- Moondigger 15:15, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

How Long does it take?
Thank you to whomever changed the caption to remove the reference to millions of years to carve Antelope Canyon. My take is that it is in the time range of 10,000 years, but I don't REALLY have a source that is quite so specific. So, thank you for making it unspecified, which I think is fairest. Ratagonia 06:14, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not a matter of "fair." It's a matter of accuracy, and "millions of years" is correct.  I'm changing it back. -- Moondigger 16:47, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

You have a source? Please state it. A source for circa 10,000 years: Ranney, Wayne. Carving the Grand Canyon.Grand Canyon Association, 2005. Grand Canyon AZ. ISBN: 0-938216-82-1  Ratagonia 06:54, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

 * 1. The caption refers to Antelope Canyon, a slot canyon near Page, Arizona -- not the Grand Canyon, which is what your reference addresses.
 * 2. Taking up your reference anyway -- most geological references I have read indicate the Grand Canyon formed over the course of millions of years. The idea that it was "carved" in 10,000 years is generally supported only by young-earth creationist literature.  I do not know if Wayne Ranney is a YEC, and will not waste the time doing the research. However I will say that his theory is at odds with the vast majority of geological literature about canyon formation.
 * 3. My Antelope Canyon-specific source is the Navajo tour guide who explained the history of the canyon when I toured there in 2005.
 * 4. A simple google search turns up a few references indicating "millions of years" as a rough estimate of the time it takes for slot canyon formation. Even if such references were off by an order of magnitude (hypothetically speaking -- there's no credible evidence that it's off), it would still be "hundreds of thousands" of years, not "10,000."
 * 5. The Wikipedia article for "slot canyon" specifies an even longer estimate of "100-200 million years" for slot canyon formation. That estimate was not written by me.
 * Comment: Per #4, if this estimate (100-200 million years) is off by two orders of magnitude, the caption would still be accurate as "millions of years," -- it would have to be off by three orders of magnitude before we would be forced to change the caption to "hundreds of thousands" of years.
 * -- Moondigger 15:36, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Please see WP:RS. If you can come up with a reliable source, please do so.  So far - none.  I also cannot find a source that indicates on the order of 100,000 years, so will not put that in either.  But:

 * If you'd like, we can discuss it, but this falls into the realm of original research, rather than a citable source. Mr. Ranney is a staff geologist with the GCNHA, not a Young Earth Conjecturist.  Your Antelope Canyon tour guide is not a citable source.  The Wikipedia article on slot canyons is not a citable source.

 * For the two terms I was a geophysics major, this was the kind of things we figured out. What is the erosion rate in antelope canyon?  How deep is it?  How big is it?  For it to be millions of years old, the erosion rate would have to be laughably small.  It is a small feature.  There may have been canyons like it in the area 1 million years ago, but it is implausible that the feature we call Antelope Canyon today was at all similar to what it is today.

 * 190 million years ago, this area (the Colorado Plateau) was a vast basin west of a very high mountain range, slowly filling with sand which became the Navajo Sandstone. After that, the Navajo was buried by more sediments, pushed down into the earth and cooked, etc. etc.  While geological changes take place over vast times, even on a geologic timescale, hundreds of millions of years is a long time.  Small (100's of meters) features like Antelope Canyon and other slot canyons are transitory features.  Etc. Ratagonia 00:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm fine with not stating any estimated timeframe, given the lack of citable sources. I do object to very short estimates such as 10,000 or 100,000 years, especially when the source you cited doesn't address Antelope Canyon in the first place.  As I said before, I do not know or care if Wayne Ranney is a YEC; his 10,000 year estimate  for the formation of the Grand Canyon is orders of magnitude shorter than any other citable reference I have found, and only matches within a single order of magnitude the theories of Young Earthers. -- Moondigger 22:14, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

 * One more comment, though. "Millions of years" is not an unreasonable estimate. It covers the entire range from one million to one billion years, and at least gives an idea that such formations are not built in a very short timeframe.  Ten thousand years is laughably short on a geologic timescale, especially since the primary weathering agents in Antelope Canyon are water and water-driven sand.  Rainfall is scarce in that area of Arizona and Utah and has been scarce for geologically long periods of time.  One could reasonably argue that the Grand Canyon formed faster than Antelope Canyon because it had the Colorado River to act as a constant weathering agent, whereas Antelope Canyon gets enough rainfall to cause a flood only very rarely. - Moondigger 22:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Flash flood velocity
I think the article needs a brief discussion of the speed at which flash floods can move. I'm having trouble finding anything solid; the only source I've found so far gives "about 67 mph" as a top speed. Anything described as "about" that isn't rounded to the nearest 5 mph seems suspect to me, and since it's the only source I've found, I'm not willing to use it in the article. Does anyone have a good source on this? Dismalscholar (talk) 16:56, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

 * First of all, there is no meaningful way to generalize the speed of a flash flood. Even if there were, it would be misleading.  Speed is dependent on the slope of the ground, amount of water, type of debris in the water, ability for water to spread out or be concentrated, type of vegetation, texture of surface, etc., etc.  —EncMstr (talk) 17:42, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I timed the front of a flash flood down a 20 mile stretch of the Fremont River in Utah, it moved at 12mph. I think it very much depends on the volume of water and the topography of the river, similar floods seen in the smaller streams above the Fremont have clearly been moving much faster at that point. Bob Palin (talk) 18:36, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Concur. Ratagonia (talk) 20:32, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

A flash flood is a very sudden unexpected flood. The mention of 6 hours of rain being classed as a flash flood would incorporate nearly every flood event I have ever heard of. The original meaning of a flash flood was for something like a dam wall bursting or a wall of water flowing down a river to a location that has not had rain. The resuling wall of water will cause flash flooding downstream. I would reduce this time from hours to seconds. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whatdoctor (talk • contribs) 22:37, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I live in Dublin, OH, and the Dublin Platypus Day Flood of 2011 (yeah, I know you've never heard of it) took 5 days to reach its crest. A flash flood reaches its crest within 6 hour of the triggering event. Also, Flash flooding is not always on/in/near any stream of flowing water. Flash floods can be areal, river, any number of coastal/lakeshore kinds, storm drain backup, levee failure, or other. --Bowser the Storm Tracker  Chat Me Up 00:35, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

We already have a list article, List of flash floods, which is almost identical with the list of flash floods here. Looking at WP:CSC, my take is that we should keep only the list article (which we could link to with a See also at the top of the impact section) and the list should be restricted to flash floods sufficiently notable that they have, or should have, their own Wikipedia article.

Churn drill

The churn drill is a large drilling machine that bores large diameter holes in the ground. In mining, they were used to drill into the soft carbonate rocks of lead and zinc hosted regions to extract bulk samples of the ore. Churn drills are also called percussion drills, as they function by lifting and dropping a heavy chisel-like bit which breaks the rock as it falls. Churn drills are most effective in soft- to medium-density rock of relative shallow depth (10–50 metres).

History
Churn drills were invented as early as 221 BC in Qin dynasty China, capable of reaching a depth of 1500 m. Churn drills in ancient China were built of wood and labor-intensive, but were able to go through solid rock. The churn drill was transmitted to Europe during the 12th century. A churn drill using steam power, based on "the ancient Chinese method of lifting and dropping a rod tipped with a bit," was first built in 1835 by Isaac Singer in the United States, according to The History of Grinding. In America, they were common in the Tri-State district areas during the lead and zinc mining in Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas.

There is an example of one of these machines at the Northern Life Museum in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Canada. It was used in 1929–1930 at the Pine Point lead and zinc mine in the Northwest Territories.

Early life
Cavada was born on 24 February 1940 in Épinal, Lorraine, to Spanish parents who disappeared during World War II. He was raised by five different foster parents. His grandson is named Robin after Yitzhak Rabin, the assassinated Israeli prime minister.

Political career
Cavada was a member of the former Union for French Democracy, which was part of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, and a deputy for the south-west of France. He chaired the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs and was a substitute for the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs.

In addition to his committee assignments, Cavada was a member of the Parliament's delegation to the EU–Romania Joint Parliamentary Committee, from 2004 to 2009. He was also a member of the European Parliament's Advisory Committee on the Conduct of Members from 2014 until 2019.

After the creation of the MoDem as a replacement of the Union for French Democracy, he created his own party Civic Alliance for Democracy in Europe. For the 2009 European Parliament election, he was the third member of the list of the presidential majority (UMP/NC/LGM), under the New Centre label. He was a member of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Group.

In 2015 Cavada introduced a proposal to restrict the freedom of panorama in all EU countries indicating that this would  limit the impact of "American monopolies such as Facebook and also Wikimedia" and serve to protect "a sector of European culture and creativity". The proposal was rejected by the European Parliament.

Speed Buggy

Speed Buggy is an American animated television series, produced by Hanna-Barbera, which originally aired for one season on CBS from September 8, 1973, to December 22, 1973. With the voices of Mel Blanc, Michael Bell, Arlene Golonka, and Phil Luther Jr., the show follows an orange anthropomorphic dune buggy who alongside teenagers Debbie, Mark, and Tinker, solves mysteries while participating in racing competitions around the world. The series was produced by Iwao Takamoto, executive produced by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, and directed by Charles A. Nichols.

The series was originally developed under the working titles Speed Bug and Speed Buggs before Speed Buggy was settled on. Takamoto was less involved with the series due to the trust he had in storyboard and animation artist Bob Singer. The concept for the show was inspired by the 1968 Walt Disney Pictures film The Love Bug and the Speed Racer anime franchise. Several of the storylines originated on another Hanna-Barbera series, Josie and the Pussycats.

Speed Buggy lasted for one season with a total of sixteen episodes. Despite its short run, it was broadcast on the Big Three television networks years after its original run as the channels had purchased syndication rights. It was speculated that the series acquired a fan base due to its frequent rotation on American television, often replacing quickly-cancelled new cartoons. Critical response to Speed Buggy was generally positive; some critics enjoyed its shared themes with Josie & the Pussycats and Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, while others found it unmemorable and overly repetitive. It has since been released on DVD as part of Warner Bros.' Archive Collection on a four disc set.

Premise
Set in an assortment of locations around the world, the series follows three teenagers (Mark, Debbie, and Tinker) and a talking dune buggy as they partake in various adventures. Speed Buggy, the dune buggy, was designed by Tinker and participates in racing competitions in order to collect winner's trophies. During their travels, the crew often defeats villains and crooks in order to save the world, such as diamond thieves, car-obsessed doctors, and evil pirates. Known as the "Speed Buggs", the group of three teenagers is able to activate Speed Buggy through the use of a portable walkie-talkie. Several episodes in the series feature reworked versions of storylines from Hanna-Barbera's Josie and the Pussycats.

Characters
The series features the following four main characters throughout its run:

 * Speed Buggy (voiced by Mel Blanc) - An orange dune buggy nicknamed "Speedy" who has the ability to talk and solve mysteries. His headlights and front grille serve as his eyes and mouth, respectively. He served as the "wacky hero" of the series with St. Bernard-like qualities. Blanc's frequent work as a voice actor with Hanna-Barbera landed him the position. His voice was similar to the Maxwell automobile he portrayed on the radio series The Jack Benny Program.
 * Mark (voiced by Michael Bell) - A teenager and the designated "brain" of the group. Mark was one of Bell's first voice roles, with his only other credits at the time being for The Houndcats and The New Scooby-Doo Movies, as well as the Artful Dodger in Oliver and the Artful Dodger, the only two-part episode of The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie.
 * Debbie (voiced by Arlene Golonka) - The beautiful teenage girl and leader of the group. Marking Golonka's first role as a voice actress, she had only previously acted on various series such as The Andy Griffith Show and Mayberry R.F.D..
 * Tinker (voiced by Phil Luther Jr.) - A Southern-drawling teenage mechanic who is Speed Buggy's designated driver and best friend.

Production and creation
Speed Buggy was developed with the working titles Speed Bug and Speed Buggs. The show's concept was partly inspired by the 1968 Walt Disney Pictures film The Love Bug and the Japanese Speed Racer franchise. It was hinted by author David Hofstede that the "Chugga-Boom" vehicle in Hanna-Barbera's The Perils of Penelope Pitstop served as a prototype for the vehicle in Speed Buggy. Executive produced by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera's Hanna-Barbera Productions, Charles A. Nichols served as the director and Art Scott was the associate producer. Iwao Takamoto, the main producer, expressed in his posthumous 2009 autobiography that the creation of Speed Buggy occurred due to the success of his other productions Josie & the Pussycats and Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!. He wrote that his participation in the series was partly because he enjoyed getting "[his] hands on a show whenever [he] felt it was necessary"; however, he was ultimately less involved with the show due to his trust with Bob Singer, an animation artist for Hanna-Barbera productions at the time.

Jack Mendelshon and Chuck Menville were the two head writers for the episodes. Several other writers contributed to the series, including Lars Bourne, Len Janson, Joel Kane, Jack Kaplan, Woody Kling, Norman Maurer, and Larry Rhine. The main title theme for Speed Buggy was copyrighted in November 1975; it was composed by Hoyt Curtin under the supervision of Paul DeKorte. Besides the leading roles, other voice actors involved with the series include Mike Road, Hal Smith, John Stephenson, and Janet Waldo.

Broadcast history
Speed Buggy was broadcast on CBS as part of their Saturday morning children's lineup between September 8 and December 22, 1973. Before being cancelled, it continued to air regularly until August 31, 1974. After its original run, CBS included reruns of Speed Buggy in their children-oriented television blocks; it was broadcast from February 4, 1978, to September 2, 1978, and September 18, 1982, to January 29, 1983. It also played on both ABC and NBC, when they acquired syndication rights for the series. ABC aired it at noon (EST) from September 6, 1975, to September 4, 1976. When NBC abruptly canceled McDuff, the Talking Dog on November 20, 1976, Speed Buggy aired in reruns from November 27, 1976, to September 1977. According to The A.V. Club's Will Harris, the series was successful and had a large fan base because it aired on all three major television networks in the 1970s.

During the 1980s, the series was rerun as part of the USA Network's USA Cartoon Express block, and Cartoon Network has broadcast Speed Buggy on several occasions since its initial launch in 1992. As part of a Valentine's Day event in February 2007, sister channel Boomerang aired the program alongside other cartoons such as Tom and Jerry, The Jetsons, and Dexter's Laboratory. The episode "Speed Buggy Went That-a-Way" was featured on the Warner Bros. Presents DVD compilation Saturday Morning Cartoons – 1970's Volume 1 and released on May 26, 2009. As part of the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's Archive Collection, the complete Speed Buggy series was made available on DVD as a four-disc set.

Critical response
In retrospective reviews, critics saw the series as similar to the Scooby-Doo franchise. Aubrey Sitterson of Geek.com included Speed Buggy on their unranked list of "favorite Scooby-Doo knockoffs". He noted similarities between Speedy and Scooby-Doo's "Mystery Machine", and joked that Tinker is "basically just Shaggy in a jumpsuit". However, he hinted that Speed Buggy's success could have been derived from its shared storylines as seen on Josie & the Pussycats. Similarly, Harris from The A.V. Club agreed and wrote that the main difference between the two shows was that Speed Buggy "substitut[ed] racing for rock 'n' roll". He also claimed that the main character "confirm[ed] that sidekicks don't always have to be animals". Speed Buggy and the Scooby-Doo gang would be featured in a crossover episode ("The Weird Winds of Winona") in the second installment of the Scooby-Doo franchise, The New Scooby-Doo Movies (1972-1973).

Several comparisons were made between the show and other works created by Hanna-Barbera. David Mansour, author of From Abba to Zoom: A Pop Culture Encyclopedia of the Late 20th Century, wrote in his book that Speed Buggy shared several characteristics with Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!. He speculated that Mark was the "Freddy-esque handsome brain", Debbie was the "Daphne-esque pretty girlfriend", and Tinker was the "Shaggy-esque mechanic and driver". Furthermore, he considered Speed Buggy to be one of the most "famous dune buggies of pop culture" alongside the buggies in The Funky Phantom, The Banana Splits, and the Big Jim toy line. In a retrospective view of older cartoons, the staff at MeTV included the show on their list of "15 Forgotten Cartoons from the Early 1970s You Used to Love". On a more negative note, author David Perlmutter found Hanna-Barbera's use of "humanized automobiles" to be too predictable and repetitive.

Legacy
Speed Buggy would not be the last time Hanna-Barbera incorporated automobiles into animation. Both Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch and Wonder Wheels also featured cars that were able to talk and act like humans. Perlmutter grouped the three shows together, calling them a "trilogy". Wonderbug, an occasional live-action segment on ABC's The Krofft Supershow (1976-1978), featured three teenagers and a talking dune buggy and often drew comparisons to Speed Buggy and The Love Bug. Also compared to the show was Adult Swim's Mike Tyson Mysteries, with Rolling Stone's James Montgomery calling it an ode to classic cartoons like Speed Buggy, Scooby-Doo, and Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels.

The characters in Speed Buggy would also be featured in a 1973 Milton Bradley board game, where players would race Speed Buggy and other buggies in a fictionalized version of Baja California. Speed Buggy would also make cameo appearances in later cartoons, including Johnny Bravo, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Invader Zim, the 2020 Animaniacs series, South Park, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, and Futurama.

In 2018, an updated version of Speed Buggy appeared in the DC comic book The Flash/Speed Buggy Special.

The characters make a brief cameo at the end of the second episode of Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, which also is a crossover with The Funky Phantom.

Speed Buggy and Tinker both appear in the HBO Max original series Jellystone! with Tinker voiced by Dana Snyder.

The characters appeared in the 2021 CW special Scooby-Doo, Where Are You Now!

Goober and the Ghost Chasers

Goober and the Ghost Chasers is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions, broadcast on ABC from September 8 to December 22, 1973. A total of 16 half-hour episodes of Goober and the Ghost Chasers were produced. It was later serialized as part of the syndicated weekday series Fred Flintstone and Friends during 1977–78. On cable, it was shown as part of USA Cartoon Express and on Boomerang starting in 2000.

Like many animated television programs created by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, the show contained a laugh track created by the studio. Cartoon Network and Boomerang airings of the show have the track muted.

The Ghost Chasers appeared in the third season of Jellystone! However, they turned out to be members of the Really Rottens in disguises except for Goober.

Plot
Similar to Hanna-Barbera's earlier series Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, Goober and the Ghost Chasers centers on three teenagers—Ted, Gilly and Tina—solving mysteries with their companion Goober, a spindly, green-colored Saluki who can involuntarily become invisible. Writing for the Ghost Chasers Magazine, the group travel to various places and use equipment from their Apparition Kit to determine whether or not the ghost is real. Eventually, the group comes across the real ghost, which would help in defeating the fake ghosts; in some instances, the impostors are not actually criminals. Compared to Scooby-Doo, Goober can speak more clearly, but his dialogue is not understood by other characters; Goober's lines are mainly fourth wall-breaking retorts.

Guest appearances
The Partridge children, characters from The Partridge Family, made semi-regular appearances in the series, featuring in eight episodes; their respective voice actors reprised their roles. Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Gray each appeared once.

Cast

 * Paul Winchell as Goober
 * Jerry Dexter as Ted
 * Jo Ann Harris as Tina
 * Ronnie Schell as Gilly

Additional

 * Danny Bonaduce as Danny Partridge
 * Suzanne Crough as Tracy Partridge
 * Susan Dey as Laurie Partridge
 * Brian Forster as Chris Partridge
 * Wilt Chamberlain as himself
 * Michael Gray as himself

Merchandising
In 1974, King Seeley released a metal lunchbox and thermos featuring Goober, which shared space with another Hanna-Barbera series, Inch High, Private Eye.

Goober was featured in a magic trading card set that was offered free inside Wonder Bread packages in 1974.

Home media
In 1986 and 1988, two videocassette editions of the series were released. Goober and the Ghost Chasers, a 45-minute cassette containing the first two episodes guest-starring The Partridge Kids ("Brush Up Your Shakespeare" and "Assignment: The Ahab Apparition"), was released by Worldvision Home Video on October 21, 1986, and Goober and the Ghost Chasers: The Chase Is On!, an 81-minute cassette containing four episodes ("The Singing Ghost", "Aloha Ghost", "Mummy Knows Best" and "The Haunted Wax Museum"), was released by Hanna-Barbera Home Video on September 29, 1988.

The Goober and the Ghost Chasers' premiere episode, "Assignment: The Ahab Apparition", was included on the DVD compilation Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1970s – Volume 1 released by Warner Home Video on May 26, 2009.

On October 26, 2010, Warner Archive released Goober and the Ghost Chasers: The Complete Series on DVD in region 1 as part of their Hanna–Barbera Classics Collection. This is a Manufacture-on-Demand (MOD) release, available exclusively through Warner's online store and Amazon.com.

Galley division

In arithmetic, the galley method, also known as the batello or the scratch method, was the most widely used method of division in use prior to 1600. The names galea and batello refer to a boat which the outline of the work was thought to resemble.

An earlier version of this method was used as early as 825 by Al-Khwarizmi. The galley method is thought to be of Arab origin and is most effective when used on a sand abacus. However, Lam Lay Yong's research pointed out that the galley method of division originated in the 1st century AD in ancient China.

The galley method writes fewer figures than long division, and results in interesting shapes and pictures as it expands both above and below the initial lines. It was the preferred method of division for seventeen centuries, far longer than long division's four centuries. Examples of the galley method appear in the 1702 British-American cyphering book written by Thomas Prust (or Priest).

How it works
Set up the problem by writing the dividend and then a bar. The quotient will be written after the bar. Steps:
 * (a1) Write the divisor below the dividend. Align the divisor so that its leftmost digit is directly below the dividend's leftmost digit (if the divisor is 594, for instance, it would be written an additional space to the right, so that the "5" would appear below the "6", as shown in the illustration).
 * (a2) Dividing 652 by 594 yields the quotient 1 which is written to the right of the bar.

Now multiply each digit of the divisor by the new digit of the quotient and subtract the result from the left-hand segment of the dividend. Where the subtrahend and the dividend segment differ, cross out the dividend digit and write if necessary the difference (remainder) in the next vertical empty space. Cross out the divisor digit used.
 * (b) Compute 6 − 5×1 = 1. Cross out the 6 of the dividend and above it write a 1. Cross out the 5 of the divisor. The resulting dividend is now read off as the topmost un-crossed digits: 15284.
 * (c) Using the left-hand segment of the resulting dividend we get 15 − 9×1 = 6. Cross out the 1 and 5 and write 6 above. Cross out the 9. The resulting dividend is 6284.
 * (d) Compute 62 − 4×1 = 58. Cross out the 6 and 2 and write 5 and 8 above. Cross out the 4. The resulting dividend is 5884.
 * (e) Write the divisor one step to the right of where it was originally written using empty spaces below existing crossed out digits.
 * (f1) Dividing 588 by 594 yields 0 which is written as the new digit of the quotient.
 * (f2) As 0 times any digit of the divisor is 0, the dividend will remain unchanged. We therefore can cross out all the digits of the divisor.
 * (f3) We write the divisor again one space to the right
 * (omitted) Dividing 5884 by 594 yields 9 which is written as the new digit of the quotient. 58 − 5×9 = 13 so cross out the 5 and 8 and above them write 1 and 3. Cross out the 5 of the divisor. The resulting dividend is now 1384. 138 − 9×9 = 57. Cross out 1,3, and 8 of the dividend and write 5 and 7 above. Cross out the 9 of the divisor. The resulting dividend is 574. 574 − 4×9 = 538. Cross out the 7 and 4 of the dividend and write 3 and 8 above them. Cross out the 4 of the divisor. The resulting dividend is 538. The process is done, the quotient is 109 and the remainder is 538.

Other versions
The above is called the cross-out version and is the most common. An erasure version exists for situations where erasure is acceptable and there is not need to keep track of the intermediate steps. This is the method used with a sand abacus. Finally, there is a printers' method that uses neither erasure or crossouts. Only the top digit in each column of the dividend is active with a zero used to denote an entirely inactive column.

Modern usage
Galley division was the favorite method of division with arithmeticians through the 18th century and it is thought that it fell out of use due to the lack of cancelled types in printing. It is still taught in the Moorish schools of North Africa and other parts of the Middle East.

Origin

Lam Lay Yong, mathematics professor of National University of Singapore, traced the origin of the galley method to the Sunzi Suanjing written about 400AD. The division described by Al-Khwarizmi in 825 was identical to the Sunzi algorithm for division.

Nursing theory

Nursing theory is defined as "a creative and conscientious structuring of ideas that project a tentative, purposeful, and systematic view of phenomena". Through systematic inquiry, whether in nursing research or practice, nurses are able to develop knowledge relevant to improving the care of patients. Theory refers to "a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation".

Importance
In the early part of nursing's history, there was little formal nursing knowledge. As nursing education developed, the need to categorize knowledge led to development of nursing theory to help nurses evaluate increasingly complex client care situations.

Nursing theories give a plan for reflection in which to examine a certain direction in where the plan needs to head. As new situations are encountered, this framework provides an arrangement for management, investigation and decision-making. Nursing theories also administer a structure for communicating with other nurses and with other representatives and members of the health care team. Nursing theories assist the development of nursing in formulating beliefs, values and goals. They help to define the different particular contribution of nursing with the care of clients. Nursing theory guides research and practice.

Borrowed and shared theories
Not all theories in nursing are unique nursing theories; many are borrowed or shared with other disciplines. Theories developed by Neuman, Watson, Parse, Orlando and Peplau are considered unique nursing theories. Theories and concepts that originated in related sciences have been borrowed by nurses to explain and explore phenomena specific to nursing.

Grand nursing theories
Grand nursing theories have the broadest scope and present general concepts and propositions. Theories at this level may both reflect and provide insights useful for practice but are not designed for empirical testing. This limits the use of grand nursing theories for directing, explaining, and predicting nursing in particular situations. However, these theories may contain concepts that can lend themselves to empirical testing. Theories at this level are intended to be pertinent to all instances of nursing. Grand theories consist of conceptual frameworks defining broad perspectives for practice and ways of looking at nursing phenomena based on the perspectives.

Mid-range nursing theories
Middle-range nursing theories are narrower in scope than grand nursing theories and offer an effective bridge between grand nursing theories and nursing practice. They present concepts and a lower level of abstraction and guide theory-based research and nursing practice strategies. One of the hallmarks of mid-range theory compared to grand theories is that mid-range theories are more tangible and verifiable through testing. The functions of middle-range theories includes to describe, explain, or predict phenomenon. Middle-range theories are simple, straightforward, general, and consider a limited number of variables and limited aspect of reality.

Nursing practice theories
Nursing practice theories have the most limited scope and level of abstraction and are developed for use within a specific range of nursing situations. Nursing practice theories provide frameworks for nursing interventions, and predict outcomes and the impact of nursing practice. The capacity of these theories is limited, and analyzes a narrow aspect of a phenomenon. Nursing practice theories are usually defined to an exact community or discipline.

Nursing models
Nursing models are usually described as a representation of reality or a more simple way of organising a complex phenomenon. The nursing model is a consolidation of both concepts and the assumption that combine them into a meaningful arrangement. A model is a way of presenting a situation in such a way that it shows the logical terms in order to showcase the structure of the original idea. The term nursing model cannot be used interchangeably with nursing theory.

Components of nursing modeling
There are three main key components to a nursing model:

 * Statement of goal that the nurse is trying to achieve
 * Set of beliefs and values
 * Awareness, skills and knowledge the nurse needs to practice.

The first important step in development of ideas about nursing is to establish the body approach essential to nursing, then to analyse the beliefs and values around those.

Common concepts of nursing modeling: a metaparadigm
A metaparadigm contains philosophical worldviews and concepts that are unique to a discipline and defines boundaries that separate it from other disciplines. A metaparadigm is intended to help guide others to conduct research and utilize the concepts for academia within that discipline. The nursing metaparadigm consist of four main concepts: person, health, environment, and nursing.

 * The person (Patient)
 * The environment
 * Health
 * Nursing (Goals, Roles Functions)

Each theory is regularly defined and described by a nursing theorist. The main focal point of nursing out of the four various common concepts is the person (patient).

Notable nursing theorists and theories

 * Anne Casey: Casey's model of nursing
 * Betty Neuman: Neuman systems model
 * Callista Roy: Adaptation model of nursing
 * Carl O. Helvie: Helvie energy theory of nursing and health
 * Dorothea Orem: Self-care deficit nursing theory
 * Faye Abdellah: Patient-centered approach to Nursing
 * Helen Erickson
 * Hildegard Peplau: Theory of interpersonal relations
 * Imogene King
 * Isabel Hampton Robb
 * Kari Martinsen Adequate care must involve both objective observation and perceptive response.
 * Katharine Kolcaba: Theory of Comfort
 * Madeleine Leininger
 * Katie Love: Empowered Holistic Nursing Education
 * Marie Manthey: Primary Nursing
 * Martha E. Rogers: Science of unitary human beings
 * Ramona T Mercer: Maternal role attainment theory
 * Virginia Henderson: Henderson's need theory
 * Jean Watson
 * Nancy Roper, Winifred W. Logan, and Alison J. Tierney: Roper-Logan-Tierney model of nursing
 * Phil Barker: Tidal Model
 * Fundamentals of Care (FoC)

Purposely omitted from this list is Florence Nightingale. Nightingale never actually formulated a theory of nursing science but was posthumously accredited with formulating some by others who categorized her personal journaling and communications into a theoretical framework.

Also not included are the many nurses who improved on these theorists' ideas without developing their own theoretical vision.

Inch High, Private Eye

Inch High, Private Eye is an American animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and broadcast on NBC from September 8 to December 1, 1973.

The character was modeled after Maxwell Smart, the main character of the 1965–1970 comedy Get Smart, and Lennie Weinrib's performance as Inch High is an imitation of Don Adams' character.

Plot
The titular character of Inch High Private Eye is a miniature detective (literally one inch high), who attained his diminutive stature by way of a secret shrinking potion. Inch often enlists the help of his niece Lori (sometimes written "Laurie"), her muscle-bound sweetheart Gator, and their dog Braveheart to help solve mysteries. Their primary mode of transportation is the Hushmobile, a streamlined car that makes virtually no noise while being driven, making it perfect for following criminals unnoticed.

Inch works for The Finkerton Detective Agency (a wordplay lampoon of The Pinkerton Detective Agency), where the boss Mr. Finkerton constantly dreams of the day that he will fire him.

Unlike most Hanna-Barbera mystery solving cartoons, which feature teen sleuths, the characters in this show are all adults.

Voice cast

 * Leonard Weinrib - Inch High
 * Kathy Gori - Lori
 * Bob Luttrell - Gator
 * Don Messick - Braveheart
 * John Stephenson - Mr. Finkerton
 * Jean Vander Pyl - Mrs. Finkerton

Additional voices

 * Jamie Farr
 * Ted Knight
 * Alan Oppenheimer
 * Vic Perrin
 * Janet Waldo

Other appearances

 * Inch High appears in a Cartoon Network commercial, where he teams up with Batman to fight crime, only to be crushed when running to the Batmobile.
 * Inch High was also featured in an episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, in which he sues his Mr. Finkerton for wrongful dismissal as Mr. Finkerton claims that he is too short to be a P.I. Inch was voiced by Maurice LaMarche while Mr. Finkerton was voiced by Chris Edgerly.
 * Inch High appears in Jellystone! voiced by Fajer Al-Kaisi. In the episode "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Rat Rat Race", Inch High was a patron of Morocco Mole's sauna-themed restaurant "Saunas, Sweat & Sandwiches" where he demanded that Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har Har turn down their only comedy album which he insulted as being bad. They throw him in their chest with the comedy album where they misplaced the chest when Morocco Mole called the police on them for causing a disturbance. When the chest is opened later upon being found by Yogi Bear, Boo-Boo Bear, Cindy Bear, Jabberjaw, Loopy De Loop, Augie Doggie, Shag Rugg, and Yakky Doodle, Inch High was found in the chest as Lippy and Hardy recall about the events. After Inch High asks for someone to call his family, Hardy Har Har shuts the chest on him. In "The Box Thief", Inch High was seen in the unboxing videos of Jabberjaw and Mayor Huckleberry Hound. When it comes to the latter's video, he put Inch High back in the box.
 * Inch High makes a voice-only cameo in the Velma episode "Velma Makes a List".

Home media
On April 24, 2012, Warner Archive released Inch High Private Eye: The Complete Series on DVD in region 1 as part of their Hanna–Barbera Classics Collection. This manufacture-on-demand (MOD) release was made available exclusively through Warner's online store and Amazon.com.
