Audrey Dalton

Audrey Dalton (born 21 January 1934) is an Irish-born former film and television actress who mostly worked in the United States during the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Biography
Dalton was born in Dublin, Ireland, the daughter of Alice Shannon and soldier and film producer Emmet Dalton, the third of their five children. Her father was a recipient of the Military Cross for his service in the British Army in World War I. During the Irish Civil War, he was a major general in the National Army.

She attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Dublin. After the family moved to London, she studied acting in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). She moved to the United States on 17 March 1952, for a part in The Girls of Pleasure Island. She took a break from acting in 1953 after the birth of her daughter, but returned in 1954, appearing in her first roles without using her British accent.

In 1977 she divorced James H. Brown, father of her four children, after 25 years of marriage, and in 1979 married Rod F. Simenz, an engineer.

Among her many television appearances were six episodes of Wagon Train between 1958 and 1964. In 1958, she was Ellen Curry, the recipient of a million-dollar check in a 1958 episode of The Millionaire. She made a guest appearance on Perry Mason in 1961 as Kate Eastman in "The Case of the Injured Innocent." In 1962 she appeared on Gunsmoke (S8:E18) in "The Renegades".

Laura Scudder

Laura Clough Scudder (July 19, 1881 – March 13, 1959) was an entrepreneur in Monterey Park, California, who made and sold potato chips and pioneered their packaging in sealed bags to extend freshness.

Biography
Born in 1881, in Philadelphia, as Laura Clough, she was a nursing student in Trenton, New Jersey. She worked as a nurse before moving to Ukiah in Northern California, after marrying Charles Scudder on July 4, 1908. She opened a restaurant across from the Mendocino County Courthouse, where lawyers encouraged her to study law.

While there, she became the first female attorney in Ukiah; however, she never practiced law. Clough moved south with her husband in 1920, to Monterey Park, California, where Charles ran a gas station (a garage and attached brick building at the northeast corner of Atlantic and Garvey) until he was disabled repairing a car. They rented the brick building to a barber who turned out to be a bootlegger, and Laura, who was a Republican and Episcopalian, kicked out the bootlegger. She took over the gas station and branched out into potato chips in 1926 and peanut butter in 1931. The Scudders lived in La Habra Heights. She tended a victory garden and wrote a newspaper column. They had four children.

Potato chips
In the early days, potato chips were distributed in bulk from barrels or glass display cases, or tins, which left chips at the bottom stale and crumbled. Laura Scudder started paying her workers to take home sheets of wax paper and iron them into the form of bags, which were filled with chips at her factory the next day. This innovation kept the chips fresh and crisp longer and, along with the invention of cellophane, allowed potato chips to become a mass market product. Other potato chip makers soon began to package their chips in bags.

Scudder also began putting dates on the bags, becoming the first company to show a freshness date on its food products and sold in twin packs to further reduce staleness and crumbling. This new standard of freshness was reflected in the marketing slogan, "Laura Scudder's Potato Chips, the Noisiest Chips in the World". The Laura Scudder Potato Chip Factory was at Garvey Avenue east of Atlantic Boulevard, Monterey Park, in the 1920s.

She expanded into peanut butter and mayonnaise in order to keep her workforce employed year round since potato chips tended to sell best during summertime. She published recipes to raise interest in her products and was noted for a chocolate cake recipe that used mayonnaise instead of eggs and butter. Ingredients like butter and fresh eggs were scarce during World War II due to rationing for civilians because of the effort to supply the needs of military personnel.

Laura Scudder Inc.
At one point, Scudder turned down a $9 million offer for the company because the buyer would not guarantee her employees' jobs. In 1957, she sold her firm to Signal Oil & Gas of Signal Hill, with a $6 million offer from a buyer who guaranteed job security for her workforce. The new company was called Laura Scudder Inc. At the time of the sale, the company had expanded into mayonnaise, and Laura Scudder brand potato chips held a greater than 50% share of the Californian market. She continued to run the company until her death in 1959.

Post-Laura
In 1987, Laura Scudder Inc. was sold to Borden, Inc. for $100 million. Annual sales for the chipmaker were $126 million in 1986. To avoid union issues, Borden closed all California plants of Laura Scudder Inc. only a year later. Borden's overall culture of mismanagement, incurrence of excessive debt to finance numerous acquisitions, and several restructurings in 1993, led Borden to sell what remained of Laura Scudder for less than $16.7 million. The buyer, G.F. Industries, Inc.'s Granny Goose subsidiary, was already in trouble, and was put up for sale in January 1995. In 2009, Snack Alliance, Inc. licensed from The Laura Scudder's Company, LLC the rights to produce and market potato chips under the Laura Scudder's brand.

According to The J.M. Smucker Company website, the Laura Scudder's Natural Peanut Butter business was acquired by Smucker's from BAMA Foods Inc. in December 1994. In 2009, Smucker's marketed the Laura Scudder's brand of natural peanut butter on the west coast. According to a March 31, 2010, announcement, Snack Alliance, Inc. was acquired by Shearers Foods Inc., a manufacturer of competing salty snacks in different regions of North America. At the same time (2010), it appeared the original Laura Scudder's brand was being actively marketed by a Californian company. These two companies have different packaging for their different Laura Scudder's products, and the Californian company appears to be marketing its products nationwide.

Legacy
John Scudder, Laura Scudder's grandson, created a television documentary called Laura to honor his grandmother. It was completed in 1989 but only broadcast in 2007, because one of her daughters did not want anything made about her. After she died, the documentary was shown on the southern California public television station KOCE.

Laura Scudder's Papers and the Women's Studies Scholarship is at Chapman University. Laura Scudder Program Series is at the Bruggemeyer Library, in Monterey Park. with donations from the Laura Scudder Foundation.

Ernest McGirr

Ernest Newburn McGirr, (March 7, 1887 – May 23, 1982) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Progressive Conservative from 1949 to 1953.

Early life, marriage and family
Born in Emerson, Manitoba, McGirr was educated in Morden and Winnipeg. McGirr married Elizabeth Stewart, of Griswold, near Oak Lake, in 1916. They had two daughters, Nora Elizabeth McGirr Roots Clawson (1917-1989), an editor who was married and later divorced from Peter Charles Roots, the father of her three children (Stephanie Roots Karsten [1947–present], Judith Roots Carver [1950–present], and David Henry Roots [1951–present] and then to Robert Marion Clawson; and Kathleen (who married first the Canadian historian Roger Graham and later the distinguished military man Leonard Birchall). McGirr was named a King's Counsel in 1933.

Career
McGirr joined a law firm in Dauphin in 1914 and was made a partner in 1916. McGirr first ran for the Manitoba legislature as a Conservative in the 1932 provincial election, but lost to Liberal-Progressive candidate Robert Hawkins by 265 votes in the Dauphin constituency. He lost to Hawkins again, by a greater margin, in the 1936 election.

He was elected to the legislature on his third attempt, in the provincial election of 1949. The Liberal-Progressives and Progressive Conservatives had previously formed a coalition government in Manitoba, and with support from the Liberal-Progressives, McGirr easily defeated an opponent from Cooperative Commonwealth Federation to take the Dauphin constituency.

The Progressive Conservatives left the coalition government in 1950, and McGirr moved to the opposition benches with his party. He was defeated in the 1953 provincial election, placing third against William Bullmore of the Social Credit League. He acted as the Dauphin town solicitor for 50 years prior to his retirement, served on the board of United College in Winnipeg, and was a Bencher (1952–1968) and Life Bencher (1968–1982) of the Law Society of Manitoba.

Death
McGirr died in Dauphin at the age of 95.

Can people give examples of how training zones are applied in real sports and the like? [[User: This paragraph seems misleading to me, as it makes people think that by doing a low-intensity exercise they will burn more fat than by doing medium/high-intensity activities... Calories burnt in the unit of time is what matters. Low-intensity training is useless, as you will burn less calories and even if you burn 80% fats, food will replace them.

{I agree with the above paragraph that Calories burnt per unit of time would be an important addition. I dissagree with his statement that Low-intensity training is useless. I have done both and found low intensity more successfull at losing weight, and higher intensity better at increasing fitness and endurance. RWP} The person above that said he/she lost more weight with low intensity is completely wrong. as stated above, what matters is the calories more minute, therefore, the higher the intensity the more calories expended, the more weight is lost! [Actually, the person above could be right if they trained at low intensity for a longer period of time. This can use up enough calories and has the advantage of lower injury rates.]

 * Although I agree that what matters is total calories burned, some authors claim that low intensity exercise burns a higher fat-to-carbohydrates ratio than high intensity. In addition, they claim that if exercise lasts more than some amount of time (claims of how much time vary), the fat-to-carbohydrate ratio of calories burned increases.  Sorry, but someone else has the book I got this from, so I don't have a citation.  206.53.196.105 (talk) 20:10, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Both low intensity and high intensity are important for training adaptation. Low intensity promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, while high intensity affects mainly to the capability of those mitochondria to use oxygen as a fuel. They are both complementary, and if we are looking for a long-term adaptation, they have to be both taken into account.

Could a definition of Resting Heart Rate please be added? Specifically, I am wondering if this is the minimum rate when waking up, or the rate sitting quietly, or laying down quietly. Thank you.

[Resting heart rate in this context is usually defined as morning wake up heart rate.]

In the section on MHR, there is written ``Swimming - 14 beats lower'' ... because the body is partially supported. I believe this is NOT true for swimming. In swimming you do use all your body, that's not the same as cycling or rowing. I believe the cause is the ,,mamals diving reflex'' instead. Human's heart rate slows down each time we get into the water in order to save oxygen when we dive under the water. I'm not a medician, so please check this with someone experienced before making a correction, but the difference (2/3 rowing, 5/6 cycling and 14(!) swimming) seems enourmous to me and I know about the mammals diving reflex, so I suspect this is related. User:hhanke

 * This information came from . To quote:
 * Londeree and Moeschberger also looked at other variables to see if these had an effect on MHR. They found that neither sex nor race makes a difference. However, MHR does vary with activity and fitness level. Studies have shown that MHR on a treadmill is consistently 5 to 6 beats higher than on a bicycle ergometer and 2 to 3 beats higher than on a rowing ergometer. Heart rates while swimming are significantly lower still, around 14bpm, than for treadmill running. Running and Versaclimber [4] show similar MHR. Londeree and Moeschberger also found fitness levels lead to a variation in MHR.
 * Johnteslade 07:36, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * This looks like a mistake in the source. "5 to 6 beats higher," "2 to 3 beats higher," "significantly higher still" would make more sense, grammatically and physiologically.  This "fact" shouldn't be used unless it's confirmed by another independent source.
 * 67.168.216.176 03:04, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The source says "HMR on a treadmill is consistently 5 to 6 beats higher than on a bicycle ergometer [...] Heart rates while swiming are significantly lower still, around 14bpm" The trick here is that "5 to 6 beats higher" refers to the bicycle, while "significantly lower" refers to the treadmill. To sum it up, treadmill = 5 to 6 beats higher than cycling, swiming = 14 bpm lower than treadmill. There is no mistake or inconsistancy, but a backup source wouldn't hurt.
 * Knuthove 14:13, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

That the training zones are divided at 10% intervals makes it look like they are based on estimates, or gut feelings. I wonder if there are studies to support this division of zones? 206.53.196.105 (talk) 20:18, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Reaction
Hi, I'm a belgium medical student.

Quote from above: "Can people give examples of how training zones are applied in real sports and the like? [[User: This paragraph seems misleading to me, as it makes people think that by doing a low-intensity exercise they will burn more fat than by doing medium/high-intensity activities...

 * As a cyclist, I would note that sustained high intensity exercise is only possible with sufficient carbohydrate intake. Any long distance cyclist or marathon runner can tell you about the experience of "bonking" or "hitting the wall" when the body runs out of carbs and starts burning through fat reserves.  If you want to sustain or regain high-intensity performance you need to eat rather than processing fat, which is at odds with the goal of weight loss. -- Bdentremont (talk) 18:56, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

End quote You will always burn more calories when you train the same endurance exercise with a higher intensity. For example: when you run 20 kilometers with a speed 15 km/hour you'll burn more calorie then when you run the same 20 kilometers with a speed of 12 km/hour. The misunderstanding among many people is that you'll burn more calories with the lower intensity because they heard that you'll burn more fat, they don't realize though that you'll burn much more glycogen what overcompensates the smaller amount of fatburning.

The best method for training is a good variation, both on the short term as well as on the long term. When you train with a lower intensity your body adapts in a different way from when you train with a high intensity. Variation is the keyword when you want to become a good endurance athlete. The faster and longer you can run the more weight you'll lose on the long term. The big but is that beginners are usually not ready for higher intensity training, their body ain't adapted to it. Most people who start with running train in the wrong way; always the same round, always the same intensity, usually the intensity is too high (they feel ashamed when they run with the correct intensity). The result is overtraining (been there, had it, it sucks big time).

About the maximum heart rate. To my knowledge the biggest factor which decides the maximum heart rate, espcecially for younger people, is the genes. It looks like the maximum heart rate decreases slower among endurance athletes. I don't know though whether their maximum heart rate decreases slower because they are endurance athletes or whether they are endurance athletes because their maximum heart rate decreases slower. If anyone can tell... In past scientists used the formula 220-age + or - 15. The variation can be quite high.

The resting heart rate decreases parallel with the increasement of a persons endurance capacity. That's a well known fact which is very logical because the heart(muscle) gets stronger thanx to the exercise. Excellent endurance athletes have a resting heart rate between 30-40 (little under 30 is even possible), excellent tennissers and footballplayers have often a resting heartrate between 50 and 60, just like many non-excelling endurance sporters. I don't know about any correlation between age and resting heart rate besides the obvious fact that older people don't exercise as much as younger people. Of course the heart rate can be influenced by pathology, older people more often suffer from that.

When it is hot the heart rate can raise because your bodies superficial veing open (sphincters open the connection between the deeper and the more superficial veins). This is what causes the higher heart rate. When more blood flows through the superficial veins your body kan release more heat (a big part of blood is water). There is quite a big difference between indiviuals sensitivity to heat. I personally already get 10 beats more/minute when the temperatur gets close to 25 degrees celcius.

The part about the recovery heart rate doesn't make sense. It's not about the absolute heart rate, it's the heart rate percentage of the maximum heartrate which is important. Since the maximum heartrate differs so mucht it's a very bad habit to talk about exact heart rates with regard to exercise.

 * (Again, I don't have a citation.) I read that "fat is burned in the flame of carbohydrates."  So, even though an ultra marathoner supposedly burns mostly fat, he/she can't continue to perform when carbs are depleted. 206.53.196.105 (talk) 20:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Resting HR decreases with age?
Does anybody have any sources on this? I used to work on a geriatrics ward, and the resting pulse rates were anything from 40 to 120... admittedly they were PRs not HRs, but I wouldn't expect there to be such a huge difference between the two; and if there is a difference then PR must be less than HR. I'm willing to accept that I could have just worked on a freakish ward, but I would like to see some sources for the info!!! I know that the HR decreases from neonate until the end of adolescence, but I haven't seen any specific research about where it goes after that...--John24601 21:21, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * If someone were to find a source for this data, would you please expand the number of years covered. I can't imagine that a 14 year-old is expected to have the same resting heart rate as someone in their 80's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.53.70.145 (talk) 02:33, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Section 3 Recovery heart rate Doesnt quite make sense, someone needs to check this. I posted here a reference to another study which puts at risk figure at 12 bpm not 30bpm a big difference

''This is the heart rate measured at a fixed (or reference) period after ceasing activity; typically measured over a 1 minute period.

For death, it has been hypothesized* that a delayed fall in the heart rate after exercise might be an important prognostic marker. Less than 30 bpm reduction at one minute after stopping hard exercise was a predictor of heart attack. More than 50 bpm reduction showed reduced risk of heart attack.'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate

=
======

The person who led the research team was Dr Michael Lauer, a cardiologist at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. Michael Lauer: Well typically we will exercise people for about 8-12 minutes, that's how long it usually takes to get somebody going very quickly and getting them to the point of maximal exhaustion. Let's say for a typical 50-year-old man, you'd expect the heart rate to rise from about 70 at rest to about 170 at peak exercise. And then what we'd like to see is the heart rate fall by at least 20 beats per minute during that first minute after exercise.

Norman Swan: I think in the paper you defined the heart beat reduction as 12 beats per minute or less.

Michael Lauer: Twelve beats a minute, that's correct.

(........They were the ones who were at really high risk for subsequent death.)

FORT DUDAK: I would like to see the abnormal rate of =<12 BPM in the paragraph about Recovery Heart Rate. The statement currently reads a risk of death from heart attack at =<30 BMP. Looking at the actual study, there is a chart of increasing risk from abt 25 BPM and less, so I gather that's where the current summary of less than 30 BPM comes from. But the study authors picked =<12 so that should be in the paragraph about the study. http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/341/18/1351/F1 Fortdudak (talk) 23:58, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Measuring HRmax
 Maximum heart rate should be defined before it's formulas are shown.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.210.49.150 (talk) 16:57, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

The article gives Edward's formula as

 * For males: 210 - 1/2 your age - 1% of total body weight + 4 = HRmax

 * For females: 210 - 1/2 your age - 1% of total body weight + 0 = HRmax

But the Heartzones website gives

 * For males: 210 - 1/2 your age - 5% of total body weight + 4 = HRmax

 * For females: 210 - 1/2 your age - 5% of total body weight + 0 = HRmax

and makes it clear that weight is in pounds.

MHR revisited
The maximal heart rate is lower for cycling and swimming as stated above. This is due to the number, size, and resistance(or power) of the muscle groups involved. Treadmill is higher because there is high resistance and large muscle groups. Swimming is lowest because although more muscle groups are involved, the resistance that each meets is significantly less than cycling or running (especially uphill). It is my opinion that the target zone does not need to change in exercise on a bicycle or whilst swimming, since it is cardiac specific and not exercise specific. The MHR is calculated whilst running uphill or on a treadmill with incline (after attaining 80-90% MHR on level or slight incline) in order to use the 'target zone' formulae. Unfit people are unlikely to attain their MHR on first attempt at these tests (it takes a degree of stamina to keep running anaerobically up a hill at 100%MHR, typically for 2 minutes at the end of the test, which follows several minutes of 85%MHR) Zeitnot 19:29, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Could someone Please Please find the citation to "People who have participated in sports and athletic activities in early years will have a higher MHR than those less active as children". I have been trying to get information like this for a long time. I was a former top x-c skier from ages 5 to 19. Now at 37, while -not- trying to relive the glory days, but be competitive in x-c mountain biking and x-c skiing I regularly see 198-201 peak heart rate (mostly while climbing up steep hills, sprints, etc...). Also if I take the standard age based system by training zone at 70% would be 128 bpm. At 128 I feel like I am not doing anything. 140 bpm feels much more like 70%.

Target Heart Rate

Body temp & heart rate
change of 10 beats per minute in heart rate corresponds to the change of one degree Celsius in body temperature sounds like total hogwash to me. When I exercise, I can easily raise my heart rate by 100 beats per minute which according to this would give a a tempurature of 47C which according to Thermoregulation should result in my certain death.--JBellis 18:31, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Is it perhaps that cause and effect are reversed in the above paragraph? Is the article perhaps saying that an increase in body temperature of 1 degree Celsius would cause an incease in heart rate of 10 bpm assuming that all other factors remain the same. Steve F.

Restructuring this article -- lots of info
I just added the restructuring template for this article because, after reading it over, there is a lot of information that is not very well organized. Things like max heart rate, training heart rate, and resting heart rate, for example, could all be organized under an umbrella topic section (cardiovascular health?) and, after a brief definition, could be described in relation to each other towards edification for someone who is not very familiar with any of the seperate topics.

MRHR
I removed this section: ''A more reliable MHR (Maximum Heart Rate) calculation is based on the MRHR (Morning Resting Heart Rate) and your age. MRHR is an average of 3 or more samples of your HR at the moment you wake up from a normal sleep cycle. MRHR is used to calculate MHR. Polar has a free web service that will calculate your MHR based on your MRHR and your age .'' because:
 * it doesn't make sense without using the polar website
 * using that calculator on the polar website simply calculates MHR = 220-age which is described elsewhere. The MRHR is used for calculating training zones but I think that it needs further reference.--JBellis 20:40, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Possible copyvio
The section on training heart rates seems to be a paraphrase of other websites, changing "calories" to "food energy" (a weird way to phrase it), possibly to avoid being able to catch it by Googling for those phrases.

Anyone got permission or should I list it as a copyvio? --Frank Lofaro Jr. 16:55, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Cardiac Pacemakers
In the "Control of Heart Rate" section, the article says:

"The heart contains two cardiac pacemakers that spontaneously cause the heart to beat."

Now, I am aware of at least four different kinds of pacemakers, and all myocardial muscle tissue demonstrates automaticity, which means that in theory there are thousands, possibly tens of thousands of potential pacemakers in the heart. Of the four "kinds," there is the Sino-Atrial (SA) node, which is the normal pacemaker; ectopic Atrial pacemakers (usually, one of which fires escape beats faster than the others, and becomes the dominant pacemaker when not overdrive-suppressed by the SA node); the AV node (again, when not overdrive-suppressed by the SA node or an ectopic Atrial pacemaker); and ectopic Ventricular pacemakers (like the Atrial pacemakers, one will normally be slightly more irritable, or fire earlier, than other possible pacemakers unless overdrive-suppressed by the SA, ectopic Atrial, or AV node pacemakers).

I want to edit this section, but before I do I am hoping someone can defend the quoted text (I might learn something!). If not, I will edit it within the next few days. Aramis1250 03:49, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

possible error in formula?

Inconsistencies about normal heart rate

Removed "dubious" tag
I've removed the dubious tag from the statement: "The pulse rate (which in most people is identical to the heart rate) can be measured at any point on the body where an artery's pulsation is transmitted to the surface - often as it is compressed against an underlying structure like bone." I'm not sure what fact the original tagger considered questionable - all three statements seem fairly straightforward (pulse rate usually = HR, multiple sampling points, compression => ability to palpate). -- MarcoTolo (talk) 19:29, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Maximum heart rate
Half of the opening paragraph in the "Maximum heart rate" is about resting heart rate. IMO, this indicates that some restructuring is warranted.

Heart rates of non-humans
Even if this article is going to focus on humans, I think it would be very interesting and relevant to add a paragraph with a selection of different species and their average resting and active heart rates. For example, what is the heart rate of a typical hummingbird when resting or feeding? How about an elephant or a whale? Or other close relatives like the Chimpanzee or Bonobo? Not only is this information interesting in its own right but it provides a reference point and meaningful context that gives an idea of where human metabolism fits on the spectrum of other animals.

Recovery Heart Rate Correct?
30bpm reduction at one minute seems high given some other random webpages I've looked at. The referenced article itself states the measured median value for the 2,428 participants was 17bpm, with a range from the 25th to the 75th percentile of 12 to 23 beats per minute... So...  Yea. Seems a bit off (perhaps the intention was recovery rate over TWO minutes?).

Also, my apologies for not making the edit myself, as I'm not particularly familiar with editing articles, but the referenced article is available online: http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/341/18/1351  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.35.47.203 (talk) 16:17, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

I agree with this. The description of figure 1 in the referenced article says that heart rate recovery below 10 to 15 beats per minute increases risk of death, and that heart rate recovery above 15 to 20 beats per minute were not associated with further improvements in prognosis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.215.25.217 (talk) 15:36, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

It may be high for couch potatoes, but for people who work out regularly, it should be normal. Yesterday, after 35 minutes of fast running, my heart rate dropped from 162 bpm to 120 bpm in one minute. I've also measured a drop from 160 bpm to 120 in 40 seconds when having to stop to tie my shoe laces after just ten minutes of running, so 60 bpm/minute is a more accurate figure. Obviously, the whole point of exercising is that after the exercise the body is not in the same state as it was before, so recovery after a full exercise will be slower. Count Iblis (talk) 16:22, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

This whole paragraph is completely false
«These figures are very much averages, and depend greatly on individual physiology and fitness. For example an endurance runner's rates will typically be lower due to the increased size of the heart required to support the exercise, while a sprinter's rates will be higher due to the improved response time and short duration., etc. may each have predicted heart rates of 180 (= 220-Age), but these two people could have actual Max HR 20 beats apart (e.g. 170-190).»

This is utter nonsense. Working out has absolutely no impact on HRmax whatsoever. It is based solely on genetics and age.

Read any and every study, they are completely non-related. For instance, Hoff & Helgerud has published excellent articles on this very subject.

I suggest deleting it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Balls927583 (talk • contribs) 18:35, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Karvonen's Formula
I'd like to point out that there is no science at all behind this formula. It's completely arbitrary. Karvonen has said so himself in a later interview (I've seen the transcribed interview on the net but can't find it now). It can't work. Main reason is that the blood volume pumped isn't increasing linearly until a certain heart rate, well above resting heart rate. Also, Karvonen's formula says that the higher span you gain the softer you should train, and vice versa!

ECG
"A more precise method of determining pulse involves the use of an electrocardiograph, or ECG"

this is incorrect - an ECG shows the electrical activity of the heart and not necessarily the pulse rate - for example as seen in electromechanical dissociation —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.148.86.136 (talk) 17:08, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

I made minor changes; the reference has this: 'In univariate analyses, a low value for the recovery of heart rate was strongly predictive of death (relative risk, 4.0; 95 percent confidence interval, 3.0 to 5.2; P<0.001). After adjustments were made for age, sex, the use or nonuse of medications, the presence or absence of myocardial perfusion defects on thallium scintigraphy, standard cardiac risk factors, the resting heart rate, the change in heart rate during exercise, and workload achieved, a low value for heart-rate recovery remained predictive of death (adjusted relative risk, 2.0; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.5 to 2.7; P<0.001)."

The section on "children" says that when doing exercise, heart-rates for children can be up to 200. This claim is not supported by the reference given (as far as I can see anyway) and is contradicted by several other sources we're listing.

Balance required
The article treats each formula for HRmax equally but the result imo is a distortion of the facts.

The study cited in the article as "Another "tweak" to the traditional formula " seems to me to be the defining study on the subject: "Age-predicted maximal heart rate revisited" by Tanaka H, Monahan KD, Seals DR, published in Journal of the American College of Cardiology. This paper was the result of BOTH a meta-analysis (of 351 prior studies involving 492 groups and 18,712 subjects) AND a laboratory study (of 514 healthy subjects). The conclusions were unequivocal. The laboraty study verified precisely the statistical predictions.

To achieve the balance required of the article it should imo distinguish more clearly between those formulae that have effectively been plucked from the air (and often derided by their own authors) and those, primarily imo the paper quoted above, which are based on subtstantive research and analysis.

Could be made much more useful to non-mathematically inclined athletes simply wishing to quickly figure their personal maximum rate (e.g., runners who may not handy with calculating "exp") if an example or two were supplied perhaps two, one each for 40 and 60 years of age, or just a single example for 50 years of age.

Inconsistent definition of normal range vs brady-/tachycardia?
In the second paragraph normal heart rate is defined as 50-90BPM, after which the AHS is mentioned as taking a different stance with 60-100BPM as a range. In the sentence after that though, the AHS values of 60 and 100 seem to be used to define brady- and tachycardia with references to the AHS page for tachycardia. This seems like it should be 50 and 90 as well or should have other references. Can someone who knows more about this take a look?

Disputed statement
Several studies, as well as expert consensus, indicate that the normal resting adult human heart rate is probably a range between 50 and 90 bpm,
 * I dispute the above statement and have moved it here. I say this for the following reasons:
 * The HR provided in "Electrocardiographic reference ranges derived from 79,743 ambulatory subjects" states "The following were the reference ranges for this subgroup, determined using the 2nd and 98th percentiles: heart rate, 48 to 98 beats/min", so that does not support the statement above.
 * The other sources are not reliable or not suitable for use in this context:
 * "Survey of selected cardiologists for an operational definition of normal sinus heart rate" is too old (1993), a primary study (WP:MEDRS), and should not be used to challenge a consensus statement by the AHA (WP:UNDUE)
 * "Influence of heart rate on mortality after acute myocardial infarction" is not an analysis of the normal heart rate but an analysis of people who have AMI and their mortality. Also a primary source, and from 1990
 * "Relation of resting heart rate to risk for all-cause mortality by gender after considering exercise capacity (the Henry Ford exercise testing project)" same applies to above. Primary source and not a record of what the overall heart rate of the population is.

I have therefore removed this statement from the article. Please provide further reliable sources (WP:MEDRS) if you wish to discuss this further. --Tom (LT) (talk) 23:49, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Pulse rate or heart rate?
I just wanted to point out that this article begins with "Heart rate (or pulse rate)", however "pulse rate" redirects to the page "pulse".

 * I don't think there is a contradiction, just sloppy terminology. Based on Pulse:
 * Pulse rate is measured by fingertips palpating the carotid artery or other artery
 * (Auditory) heart rate is measured by listening to the heart beat by auscultation, traditionally using a stethoscope
 * Actual heart rate is measured by precise sensors of the heart muscle, e.g. EKG
 * There is a note above in the physiology section that "The heart rate may be greater or lesser than the pulse rate depending upon physiologic demand." For example this study has some numbers. In practice what people generally mean is the inter-beat interval and that study notes it is consistent between pulse and heart measurements for the most part. So then there are sources like that say pulse rate is also known as heart rate.
 * I think I would change the pulse rate redirect to point to Pulse, add a discussion there about the differences between heart rate and pulse rate (e.g. citing the study I linked), change the "Main page" hatnote to a "Further information", and change the footnote here from a ref to a note that they are not exactly the same and a link to Pulse. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 23:20, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. I agree that my use before of the word "contradiction" was not the most appropriate word to explain what I meant. My point was just that there is a redirect that links to an article while another article says that the name of the other article is a synonym for that article. Sorry for the confusing language. Two articles obviously can't have the same name, which is in essence what is happening here.
 * I have no objections necessarily to changing the pulse rate redirect to point to Pulse. But that still leaves the problem that the heart rate article lists "pulse rate" as a synonymous term for "heart rate". Whether or not they are, indeed, exactly the same thing or not is not completely relevant to the issue I was initially trying to bring up.
 * My issue is that it could cause confusion to readers, especially if they only read the intro or first few bits of an article to see that two separate articles have essentially the same names (one as a redirect, and the other as a synonym for the primary title of the article.) If they are distinct concepts, then they shouldn't be written as though they are synonyms, and if they are synonyms, then why should they even have two articles instead of just one article? I would personally certainly say that they are not exactly synonyms, but would agree with the three points you listed (measured by fingertips; auditory; and EKG or other equipment). "Pulse rate" is more a technique, and "heart rate" the actual thing being measured or estimated--thus not fully synonymous. They may be used sometimes as synonyms, which is probably not best practice, but Wikipedia should state facts as they are and not as they should be,
 * thus something like "the term 'heart rate' is sometimes used to mean 'pulse rate', but the two are more precisely used as distinct terms... [elaboration and citation(s) here]"
 * The last sentence of the first paragraph of the Heart rate article even says "It is usually equal or close to the pulse measured at any peripheral point." which contradicts the beginning of the paragraph as it implies that "heart rate" and "pulse rate" are not exact synonyms.
 * I hope I'm making sense, sorry, a bit difficult to explain and I'm very sleep deprived at the moment.Vontheri (talk) 23:24, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, the last sentence is right, I think, they aren't synonyms but are generally equal. So I have modified this and Pulse accordingly. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 01:10, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Looks good; thanks for the work. Vontheri (talk) 23:37, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Edisonade

Edisonade is a genre of fictional stories about a brilliant young inventor and his inventions, many of which would now be classified as science fiction. This subgenre started in the Victorian and Edwardian eras and had its apex of popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Other related terms for fiction of this type include scientific romances. The term was introduced in 1993 by John Clute in his and Peter Nicholls' The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. It is an eponym, named after famous inventor Thomas Edison, formed in the same way the term "Robinsonade" was formed from Robinson Crusoe.

History
Usually first published in cheaply printed dime novels, most such stories were written to appeal to young boys. The edisonade formula was an outgrowth of the fascination with engineering and technology that arose near the end of the 1800s, and a derivative of the existing Robinsonade formula.

Clute defines the word in his book:

"As used here the term 'edisonade'—derived from Thomas Alva Edison (1847–1931) in the same way that 'Robinsonade' is derived from Robinson Crusoe—can be understood to describe any story which features a young US male inventor hero who uses his ingenuity to extricate himself from tight spots and who, by so doing, saves himself from foreign oppressors."

and he defines it again in a column referring to "The Plutonian Terror" by Jack Williamson written in 1933:

"It is an Edisonade, a paradigm kind of science fiction in which a brave young inventor creates a tool or a weapon (or both) that enables him to save the girl and his nation (America) and the world from some menace, whether it be foreigners or evil scientists or aliens; and gets the girl; and gets rich."

One frequent theme in edisonades was the exploration of little-known, "untamed" parts of the world. To that degree, the stories reflected the contemporaneous era of large-scale colonization and exploration.

Examples

 * The earliest example of the genre as expressed in young adult fiction is considered to be "The Steam Man of the Prairies" by Edward S. Ellis (1868), featuring fictional inventor Johnny Brainerd.
 * The Frank Reade series first appeared in 1876, written by Harold Cohen (1854–1927) under the pseudonyms Harry Enton and "Noname." The first was "Frank Reade and His Steam Man of the Plains". After four titles, the series was continued as the adventures of Frank Reade, Jr., written by ultra-prolific boys' fiction author Luis Senarens as "Noname".
 * In Auguste Villiers de l'Isle-Adam's 1886 novel The Future Eve Thomas Edison is tasked with the construction of a female android.
 * A series of stories featuring "Tom Edison, Jr." by Philip Reade were published between 1891 and 1892. The story "Tom Edison's Electric Mule, or, The Snorting Wonder of the Plains" (1892) is a parody of the earlier Frank Reade series.
 * The Jack Wright series was created and written by Luis Senarens. The character first appeared in 1891, and was the subject of 121 stories.
 * Thomas Edison himself was the main character in Edison's Conquest of Mars by Garrett P. Serviss (1898), a sequel to Fighters from Mars (in the form of a revenge fantasy) an unauthorized and altered adaptation of Wells's The War of the Worlds. Another real and famous inventor to appear in one of the stories was Nikola Tesla in To Mars With Tesla; or, the Mystery of the Hidden World.
 * Five stories about the edisonade character named Electric Bob were published in 1893, written by Robert T. Toombs, which added a touch of wittiness and oddity to the genre.
 * The original Tom Swift series of juvenile books are a continuation of the genre in the juveniles that followed dime novels.
 * The Skylark of Space, considered to be the first space opera, begins as an edisonade before transitioning to the novel genre.
 * A Pause in Space-Time by science fiction author Laurence Dahners is a modern edisonade about an impoverished but mathematically brilliant college student who invents a way to stop time in small, portable bits of space.

Alexander Alexandrovich Volkov (politician)

Alexander Alexandrovich Volkov (Udmurt and Алекса́ндр Алекса́ндрович Во́лков; 25 December 1951 – 20 May 2017) was the President of the Udmurt Republic. As President, Volkov was the highest official in the Udmurt Republic, the head of the republic's highest executive body, and leader of its two million citizens. Volkov took office November 3, 2000, for a five-year term after the first presidential elections in the Udmurt Republic took place on October 15, 2000. Prior to the elections, Volkov was the speaker of the Udmurtia Republican Legislature.

Personal life
Born into a worker's large family, Alexander Volkov graduated from a technical school and then worked as a foreman, chief engineer, and head of a construction department while studying at the Polytechnic Institute.

Volkov was an experienced and flexible regional politician whose 2000 election as President of the Udmurt Republic was "not exactly a birthday present for the Kremlin," according to political  consultant Igor Mintoussov.

The danger of terrorism was the main concern of many among Volkov's constituents, especially for the 600,000 residents of Izhevsk, where Volkov occupied a palace and where Russia's oldest armaments factory is located, about 1,300 km east of Moscow. Surrounding rural regions are relatively impoverished and were said to turn to Volkov and the Udmurtia Legislature for support.

Along with Udmurt technical experts, Volkov negotiated with Gazprom, Russia's largest natural gas extractor, in collaborative efforts to develop the region's gas supply system and establishing a centralized gas distribution company.

In President Volkov's most recent State of the Union address, he expressed appreciation that religious and interconfessional relations were stable last year, noting reconstruction began last year on the Saint Mikhail Cathedral, and that "this event is extremely outstanding." Volkov also stressed, "The growth of investment into economics of the Republic was and is the main task of the Government."

Volkov died on 20 May 2017 in Germany, where he was being treated at a clinic.

Public image
There was a long-running conflict between Volkov and Zolotoya Provintsiya since his tenure as the parliamentary speaker of Udmurtia. Volkov was named 'Man of the Year' in a contest initially billed as 'Sex Symbol of the Year'. The next day, the publication hit the newsstands with a collage featuring the body of Michelangelo's David fitted with Volkov's head. Volkov found the image insulting and initiated a challenge that made its way to the Republican Constitutional Court. Zolotaya Provintsiya was charged with pornography, libel and invasion of privacy.

Honours and awards

 * Order of Merit for the Fatherland 3rd class
 * Order of Merit for the Fatherland 4th class
 * Order of Friendship
 * Medal "In Commemoration of the 850th Anniversary of Moscow"
 * Medal "In Commemoration of the 300th Anniversary of Saint Petersburg"
 * Honoured Builder of the Russian Federation
 * Honoured Engineer of the Russian Federation

Personal life
Volkov was married to Nina Volkova and has two children. Volkov is also the grandfather of four children. His son, Andrey, is a notable alumni from the Izhevsk State Technical University, and his daughter, Vera is an attorney. His hobbies were football, fishing, skiing, tennis, and spending some time helping out in the garden. Volkov was notably a very experienced musician, as he could play the accordion. When on holiday, Volkov usually went to Bryansk to meet his family. Volkov was fluent in Russian and could speak some English.

Éclair

An éclair ( or , ; lit. 'lightning') is a pastry made with choux dough filled with a cream and topped with a flavored icing. The dough, which is the same as that used for profiterole, is typically piped into an oblong shape with a pastry bag and baked until it is crisp and hollow inside. Once cool, the pastry is filled with custard (crème pâtissière), whipped cream or chiboust cream, then iced with fondant icing. Other fillings include pistachio- and rum-flavoured custard, fruit-flavoured fillings, or chestnut purée. The icing is sometimes caramel, in which case the dessert may be called a bâton de Jacob (lit. 'Jacob's staff'). A similar pastry in a round rather than oblong shape is called a religieuse.

Etymology
The word comes from the French éclair, meaning 'flash of lightning', so named because it is eaten quickly (in a flash); however some believe that the name is due to the glistening of the frosting resembling lightning.

History
The éclair originated during the nineteenth century in Lyon, France where it was called pain à la Duchesse ('Duchess-style bread') or petite duchesse ('little duchess') until 1850. The word is first attested both in English and in French in the 1860s.

North America
Dunkin' Donuts markets Long John doughnuts as eclairs in the United States. National Eclair Day is celebrated on June 22 in the U.S.

Several users have expressed an interest in having a meetup in Newark in the near future. Would you and/or User:Insaneindian be interested? Raul654 06:33, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I assume we're talking about Newark, not Newark. I might be able to come, but it will depend on when it is.  Don't make a decision based on me because I might not make it.  InsaneIndian is not in homeroom today, but I'll ask him later in class.  I was contacted by a reporter of the Community News (Hockessin, Greenville, etc.) through Wikipedia and he wants to interview me about Wikipedians in Delaware.  I assume you were contacted also Mark?  If you want to invite him to the meetup, I can get you his contact info. -- ʀ6ʍ  ɑ  ʏ89  12:58, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

AWB
Hi there. This is just a friendly notice to be careful when using AWB. This edit is the one I am referring to. The American President automatically redirects to The American President (film) so it wasn't really needed. Normally I wouldn't notice, but when you submitted it, you submitted it as The American President (film) instead of The American President. Happy editing! --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 00:59, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I am changing current double redirects and that's when I came across that change.  I'll fix the problem.  Eventually, The American President will not redirect to The American President (film) but to President of the United States. -- ʀ6ʍ  ɑ  ʏ89  01:04, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Page
Hi, nice page design, unfortunately it doesn't work for 800x600 users :( Is there any way to code the curves instead of using an image? Arniep 01:22, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately the code cannot adopt curves like that. Primarily because only good browser's (Firefox for instance) can display that code.  Also, wikipedia does not permit CSS code unless each user implements it himself.  What I will do is shrink the design to make it fit in 800x600.  I plan to change the color anyway (i hate the orange), so I will do it at that time. Thanks for your input.-- ʀ6ʍ  ɑ  ʏ89  01:28, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

 * This user page has some curves, but no shading. Arniep 02:15, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yea, because it uses "-moz-border-radius:20px;" but try it in IE. Also, if I used these browser methods, I couldn't pull off the shadow effect. -- ʀ6ʍ  ɑ  ʏ89  02:28, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Sexual Victimization of Native American Women
You voted to keep this article. It is still a very bad article. Since you obviously thought that it has merit, maybe you would be interested in bringing it in line with Wikipedia policy.

Editing of Cab Page
A friend and I, both students at Cab, have been working on the article this afternoon. We threw in a section on nicknames and student culture, based on the decision that they are acceptable on WP because they are part of the culture. If you do not agree, please let me know so we can dialogue and decide what is best for Wikipedia. I have found nothing to dissuade me in WP: NOT, but perhaps your obviously greater familiarity with WP can shed some light on my perceptions? I look forward to hearing from you. -Jim, 11th Grade, Cab Calloway School
 * Hello Jim. It's nice to meet you, I am a senior at Charter.  The reason that that information is not relevant on WP is because, though it is part of Cab culture, it would not be useful to anyone that does not attend your school (or otherwise know your teachers).  Think of a real encyclopedia.  You would never find info like this in it; the cultural portion of an article should be about how an organization's members relate to members of other organizations.  If there is a tradition in Cab theater that somehow carries out into its performances (which are seen be people across Delaware, not just students and parents), then that may be relevant.  But the nicknames of a teacher or technical instrument are not.  I hope this makes sense to you.  I know how frustrating it can be to put a lot of work into writing something only to have it deleted, but I hope that this experience does not turn you off from editing more articles in the future.  By the way, if you want to read some school articles that are excellently written, see Stuy, TJHSST or Charter School of Wilmington (only excellent by my opinions, not by consensus). -- ʀ6ʍ  ɑ  ʏ89  02:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Concerning Linux...
''If you have [a Linux distro] that you think I will be able to not be disgusted by, please contact me. Basically I'm looking for one the is a perfect substitute for Windows without the bugs and the price.''

You might want to check out the article named Linux is not Windows to find out why you didn't find such a Linux, and uh, I see you haven't tried Linspire yet, which is the most Windows-stribing Linux out there, so you might want to try that as it may be the only one that even closly qualifies for such a requirement.

Personally, I prefer Gentoo, but then again, my requirement for a good OS is not "One that works like Windows". :)

DarkPhoenix 19:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

I have never heard of either and I certainly meant no harm.  Thank you for pointing this out to me; I'm going to check the other school's article to make sure I didn't move this article's text over there.  -- ʀ6ʍ  ɑ  ʏ89  01:25, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I was just wondering how Stub catagorazation would even be a paragraph long? I really don't understand. Thanks! Wiki e Zach 22:44, 20 January 2006 (UTC) Thanks for explaining, just curious. Wiki e Zach 03:11, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I was going to write a little about the importance of effective sorting and how it allows for people to navigate more easily. Then a little about what was done with Category:US school stubs and how it'll help people navigate WP better.  Then something about WP:WSS and how people can get involved.  Finally, ask for some help on current projects that need help.  And that's pretty much it.  If other people have similar stories, they could write articles for future weeks on something that has been done to improve organization on WP and how people can get involved with that project.  I thought it might give some more body to WP:SIGN in addition to the generic Admin/Beauracrat/Arbitration/Steward-centric news.  Perhaps it's not such a great idea, but I thought I would throw it out.  Please post your response on my talk page.  Thanks. -- ʀ6ʍ  ɑ  ʏ89  03:09, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * If you'd like to write an article, go ahead; otherwise, I can give it a short mention in our News and Notes feature. If you do decide to write it, make sure to write it in a NPOV way, and use the third-person (not "we", "the project").  Thanks!  Ral315 (talk) 21:35, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Schools

 * As this is entirely large goal, it will certainly take some time, as you surely know. But it certainly makes a ton of sense, as having every US school stub categorized when each state already has a category for non-stubs doesn't make any sense. --Pepsidrinka 04:59, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Before creating any new stub template and categories, the usual procedure on the Wikipedia is to propose them on the proposal page of the Stub-sorting WikiProject. There are some general criteria for the creation of stub templates and stub categories that are used to make sure that the stub templates will be useful. Some of your creations definitely meet those criteria (e.g. California school stubs, but some do not (e.g. Delaware school stubs). The stub templates and categories that you've recently created are being discussed at WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Discoveries. Blank Verse 02:32, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, I was under the impression that it had already been discussed. Updates.

 * Since I really don't know how to do so, could you finish creating the templates and stubs for the remaining states. Or perhaps if you don't want to do the rest, do some of the more populous states first, aka New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virgina, etc.

CS Maps

 * Your format for the CS maps was a great idea and a great way to present the information. If you need help with anything, just tell me.  For the overview map image, I'm using the images in the cstrike/overview folder (I think that's where they are).  You'll have to convert them to .jpgs though, since they're usually in .bmp, and be sure to select "Game Screenshot" in the licensing list on the Special:Upload page.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask.  Thanks! Varco 23:05, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

 * About the CS Nation Screenshots, the best thing to do would be to contact them and ask about their policy on using them. For the screenshots I put up, I took them from the official Counter-Strike website, which said they could be used as long as they were credited.  I couldn't find any information on this at CSN, but they do have a contact page.  Varco 00:12, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

 * There's a discussion on Talk:Fy iceworld regarding the format of the CS articles. Have a look when you get a chance.  --Varco 14:08, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Need your help
Editor's contributions singled out for his faith, please help keep this notable article--172.159.25.124 16:44, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, right now they have to be updated with, but I know that there are some javascript files around user space that do that for you. I'll find out and get back to you about it. Tito xd (?!? - help us) 23:56, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * GraemeL's Monobook has a function similar to that, so you might want to ask him about it. Tito xd (?!? - help us) 00:03, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

'This type of censorship makes me sick' Vote to keep, show these hypocrites what's what, tolerance? ha, only when it's good for them--Diatrobica;l 23:10, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello
Hey, man. Jasonglchu 15:11, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I was poking around the CSW article and noticed you and Austin. Yeah, Pellegrini is one of the big dogs around here; he was interviewed by Wired for their article.  Anyways, see you. jglc | t | c 17:48, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Pedro Armendáriz

Pedro Gregorio Armendáriz Hastings (May 9, 1912 – June 18, 1963) was a Mexican-American film actor who made films in both Mexico and the United States. With Dolores del Río and María Félix, he was one of the best-known Latin American movie stars of the 1940s and 1950s.

Early life
Armendáriz was born in Mexico City, to Pedro Armendáriz García Conde, a Mexican father and Adela Hastings, an American mother. He was also the cousin of actress Gloria Marín. Armendáriz and his younger brother Francisco lived with their uncle Henry Hastings Senior in Laredo, Texas, after their mother died. He later studied in California, attending the California Polytechnic State University from September 1928 to May 1932. At Cal Poly, he studied mechanics and in May 1931 graduated from the academic course of the school. He remained an additional year as a freshman in the Junior College division, but in 1932 returned to Mexico after the end of the school year. While at Cal Poly, Armendáriz was active in student activities, including editing the student newspaper and the student yearbook and acting in several student dramatic productions.

Career
When Armendáriz finished his studies, he moved to Mexico, where he worked for the railroad, as a tour guide, and as a journalist for the bilingual magazine México Real. He was discovered by film director Miguel Zacarías when Armendáriz recited a soliloquy from Hamlet to an American tourist. His meeting with the director Emilio Fernández was providential, whereupon the actor and director began working in numerous films: Soy puro mexicano (1942), Flor silvestre (1942) and specially María Candelaria (1943) were the first films of intense common path. Under the guidance of Emilio Fernández, Pedro Armendáriz developed the film personality traits of strong nationalist; often, he played tough and manly men, indigenous, peasants and revolutionaries. Amendáriz repeatedly portrayed Pancho Villa and played opposite actresses such as Dolores del Río and María Félix.

With Dolores del Río, Amendáriz formed one of the most legendary couples of the Mexican cinema. María Candelaria provided Armendáriz with international visibility. The film was awarded the Palme d'Or at the 1946 Cannes Film Festival. Other prominent titles where Armendáriz appeared with Dolores del Río were Las Abandonadas (1944), Bugambilia (1944) and La Malquerida (1949). Maria Felix was his other partner in such films as Enamorada (1946) or Maclovia (1948).

In the late 40s, he made the jump to Hollywood by the hand of John Ford. Armendáriz was a favorite of Ford, appearing in three of his films: The Fugitive (1947), Fort Apache and 3 Godfathers (both 1948).

Besides his career in the Mexican cinema, Armendáriz made a remarkable career in Hollywood and Europe. His other prominent films in Hollywood were: We Were Strangers (1949, directed by John Huston), The Torch (1950), Border River (1954), The Conqueror (1956) and Diane (1956), among others. In Europe, highlighted his participation in the film Lucrèce Borgia (1953), filmed in France. In Mexico, his participation highlighted such notable films such as El Bruto (1953, directed by Luis Buñuel), La Cucaracha (1959) and La Bandida (1962).

Armendáriz's last appearance was in the second James Bond film, From Russia with Love (1963), as Bond's ally, Kerim Bey. Armendáriz was terminally ill with cancer during the filming of From Russia with Love, and towards the end of shooting he was too ill to perform his part; his final scenes were performed by his double, director Terence Young. Armendáriz died four months before the release of the film.

Personal life
Armendáriz was married to actress Carmelita Bohr (née Pardo) by whom he had one son and one daughter. His son Pedro Armendariz Bohr (April 6, 1940 – December 26, 2011), also became an actor and appeared in the James Bond film Licence to Kill (1989). His daughter, TV producer Carmen Armendáriz Bohr(b. 1946, Mexico City), was married and then divorced Michel Pierson Cuadra, a Nicaraguan national.

Illness and death
In 1956, Armendáriz had a role in The Conqueror, produced by Howard Hughes. It was filmed in the state of Utah at the time when the US government was conducting atmospheric nuclear testing in neighboring Nevada. Within 25 years, 91 of the 220 people involved in the production (41%) developed cancer, 46 of whom died of cancer or complications related to it.

Armendáriz began to suffer pain in his hips; years later it was discovered that he had neck cancer. He learned his condition was terminal while at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, and, reportedly, endured great pain to film From Russia with Love in order to assure his family financial resources.

On June 18, 1963, Armendáriz died by suicide by shooting himself in the chest with a gun he had smuggled into the hospital. He was 51 years old. He is buried in the Panteón Jardín cemetery in Mexico City, Mexico.
