Talk:HNoMS Uredd (P41)

Untitled
Was the class really called ULA? I thought the only Ula-class was produced from the 1970s and onwards. There is one Ula-class submarine called Uredd, and this is still in operation. But I think the name Uredd is a traditional Norwegian submarine nameInge 01:32, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * aha, you're right - my apologies - see, this is what happens when Canadians write about Norwegian ships :) Sherurcij 02:59, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * It isn't easy to keep up with all the ships with the same name:) But tradition is important in the navy. I noticed the same problem in an article about HNoMS Valkyrien (1994-present) and it led to HNoMS Valkyrien. I did my service in the Royal Norwegian Navy and most of your info was unknown to me so I am impressed :) Inge 19:03, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Someting about the Uredd on RNON web pageInge 01:07, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

A couple of small corrections. The submarine P-41 was named Uredd (norwegian for fearless) and NOT HNoMS Uredd. The "HNoMS" was not used on norwegian warships and submarines before after the second world war. Uredd was not a U-class submarine as this class was first used as a term for the norwegian submarines in service aquired from the UK after the war. Norway operated 5 U-class submarines (Utstein, UIa, Utvær, Uthaug and Utsira) after the war. In addition was three K-class submarines (german VIIC submanrines from the war) operated. They were releaved by the german-produced Kobben-class (type-207) in the mid-60. Compared with the U-class boats, Uredd was a bit smaller, but quite similiar in design.

Betsey Wright

Betsey Ross Wright (born July 4, 1943) is an American lobbyist, activist, and political consultant who worked more than a decade for Bill Clinton in Arkansas. She served as chief of staff to Governor Clinton for seven years. As deputy chair of the 1992 Clinton presidential campaign, Wright established the rapid response system that was responsible for defending Clinton's record in Arkansas and promptly answering all personal attacks on the candidate. During the 1992 campaign, Wright coined the term "bimbo eruptions" to describe rumors alleging extramarital affairs by Clinton. In the 1990s, Wright was an executive for the Wexler Group, a lobbying firm in Washington, D.C. She currently resides in Rogers, Arkansas.

Early life
Wright was born July 4, 1943, in Alpine, Texas. She attended Alpine High School and received her higher education at the University of Texas at Austin, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts. Wright served as President of the Texas Young Democrats from 1968-1969.

Career
Wright worked for George McGovern's unsuccessful 1972 presidential campaign. It was during this campaign when she met Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham. Wright became close friends with Rodham, a woman she thought had the potential to become a U.S. senator or America's first female president. In 1973, Wright moved to Washington, D.C. and began working for the National Women's Political Caucus, hoping the job would further Rodham's political viability. During Clinton's unsuccessful run for the House of Representatives in 1974, Wright commuted on the weekends to Arkansas to assist his campaign.

During the late 1970s, Wright founded and served as executive director of the now-defunct National Women's Education Fund, an organization based in Washington, D.C. which raised funds for women candidates. While there, she designed, organized and conducted training programs throughout the country for women candidates, campaign managers, and officeholders. in 1977, Wright became an associate of the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press (WIFP).

In 1980, ten days after his defeat for re-election as governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton asked Wright to come to Little Rock and help organize the campaign's records and files. Bringing only her suitcase, Wright traveled to Little Rock and began formulating Clinton's political comeback. She organized and ran Clinton's successful 1982 gubernatorial campaign, as well as his re-election campaigns in 1984 and 1986. The New York Times credited Wright as being "an architect of [Clinton's] rise to power in Arkansas." In 1982, Wright was appointed as chief of staff to Governor Clinton. Her duties included managing public support for Clinton's controversial education reforms. Wright resigned from her position in 1989, citing exhaustion.

In 1990, Wright was elected chair of the Democratic Party of Arkansas and was hired as its executive director. While serving as a fellow at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government in 1992, Wright led a seminar entitled "High Tech Politics". She resigned to return to Arkansas and assist Clinton during his run for the presidency. Wright served as deputy chair of the Clinton campaign during the 1992 election, but did not work for the Clinton administration.

On the eve of the 1992 election, Anne Wexler offered Wright a position as executive vice president of the Wexler Group, a lobbying firm whose parent company is the WPP Group. As a lobbyist, Wright's clients included American Airlines, the American Dietetic Association, the American Forest & Paper Association, and ARCO, among others.

Advocacy
Wright is a supporter of the feminist movement, a prisoners' rights advocate, and strongly opposes capital punishment. She often visits inmates on Arkansas' death row at the Varner Unit, a high-security prison located near Grady.

While visiting a death row inmate in 2005, Wright was accused of trying to smuggle money into the prison. After the incident, Wright lost visitation privileges for six months. In August 2009, the Arkansas State's Attorney's office filed 51 felony charges against Wright, accusing her of attempting to smuggle a knife, tweezers, a boxcutter, and 48 tattoo needles into the Varner Unit on May 22. During an interview with the Associated Press, Wright denied any wrongdoing, saying that the needles were in a bag of chips that she got from a prison vending machine. In April 2010, Wright agreed in a plea bargain to plead no contest to two misdemeanors; in exchange, 48 felony counts were dropped. She was sentenced to one year of probation and a $2000 fine.

Film
Wright appeared in the 1993 documentary film The War Room, a behind the scenes look at Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. Wright also appeared in the 2004 documentary The Hunting of the President: The Ten-Year Campaign to Destroy Bill Clinton, a film adaption of the book written by Joe Conason and Gene Lyons, and the 2012 American Experience documentary Clinton.

Cultural depictions
The character of Libby Holden in Joe Klein's 1996 novel Primary Colors is loosely based on Wright. In the 1998 film adaptation, Holden's character was portrayed by Kathy Bates, a role which earned Bates an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

Move to Meteor Mobile Communications?

 * Agree, is it neccessary to hold a vote if not controversial? Djegan 19:23, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * No, but you have to get an admin to move the article when the target exists (which it does). --Kiand 19:30, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Understood. Djegan 19:33, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 11:48, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I've just moved it to Meteor (mobile network) due to WP:NC of " use the most common name of a person or thing that does not conflict with the names of other people or things.". In this case its most common name is Meteor, and disambiguating through paretheses gives it a shorter name. I just went ahead and did it due to it seeming quite clear-cut, but if anyone has a major problem with it, feel free to move it back. I also changed all links with AWB but, again, I'll change them back if there's any major objections. It's fine to use the full company name for something like Orange SA but I think it really seems innappropriate wehere it gives it a LONGER name. - Рэд хот (t • c • e) 14:25, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, just browsing through this page and had a quick thought. I may be wrong, but I thought Western Wireless had bought out the minority shareholders stake? AFAIK they own 100% of Meteor now, but it's worth checking out.

According to here its a wholly owned subsidary of Western Wireless now. But for how much longer...--Rdd 00:20, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

UMTS
In the article it says Meteor DID not apply for a UMTS license. Have they applied now?, because it seems to give the impression that they didn't, at first, but have now. - Gerbon689

Okay, the story is that in 2001 the Director of Telecommunications Regulation (now Comreg) held a competition for four UMTS licences. Vodafone, O2, and 3 applied for and got three of the licences. Meteor being at that point a start-up and not having the money to develop a UMTS network did not apply. The fourth licence remainded dormont until just a month ago when an expression of interest for the fourth licence (licence "B" 3) was recieved by ComReg. This is widely believed to have been from Eircom Group plc. ComReg have hence reactivated their procedures and called for further expressions of interest in the licence, which may or may not lead to the fourth licence being issued. The deadline for this was last Friday, we don't know if Meteor have expressed an interest yet. Formal applications for the licence have yet to be called (proposed date: 22nd July) and the deadline for reciept will be 9th September.

Short version: Meteor did not apply in 2001. They might have a chance now.--Rdd 22:19, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Well if it was Eircom, it will probably be used by Meteor since it seems very likely that Meteor will be bought by Eircom.

Yeh Meteor didnt apply in 2001 when Eircell (now Vodafone Ireland) and Digifone (now O2-IRL) did. Meteor, Eircom, Smart Mobile and Denis O'Brien where the bidders for the 4th 3G license issued by ComReg in 2005. The three remaining bidders were Eircom, Smart Telecom and Meteor. Then Eircom took over Meteor and it was thought that they would definately get the license however Smart Telecom won it. In 2006 Comreg removed the license off Smart Telecom due to their failure to pay a guarantee bond on it and it was given to Eircom (who thus owned Meteor) So thats how they have the license. (Ro2000 16:46, 18 July 2007 (UTC))

Orange Legal Action
Does anyone know, on what grounds Orange took legal action against the decision to award the license to Meteor? - Gerbon689
 * Their website had details in 2000 when the challenge happened but the news archive doesn't go back beyond 2002 now - which is odd as they started in 2001... --Kiand 02:35, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeh i think the reason why Orange took action against the Meteor Consortium being awarded the license was because at the time it was an Irish-American led consortium and Orange at that time owned by Hutchinson Whampoa, thought that Comregs Predecessor was being biased in awarding the 3rd GSM license to an Irish-American company over a UK based company.

(Ro2000 16:57, 18 July 2007 (UTC))

Neutrality
I placed a neutrality warning on this article. I don't believe it was written by an objective contributor. Have a look through it, particularly the Rapid Growth section - it looks like it was written by someone in the marketing department of Meteor. Some of you might disagree, but I think it's quite self-promotional. Damndirtyape 08:32, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

It was actually me who wrote that part of the artical entitled "Rapid Growth" As you may be able to see from my IP address i am from Northern Ireland and have nothing to do what-so-ever with the Meteor Mobile phone company. I am doing a telecommunciations course and am interested overall in the industry wheather it be in Ireland mainland Europe or the USA, and as such, have contributed to articles on other mobile network companies also. I apologise if it may seem that it was impartial, i was just highlighting a fact, due to my studying of the industry that the irish cellular market is moving into exciting times from a duopoly into a maturely competitive market with the introduction of Meteor, 3 Ireland, and soon to be Tesco Mobile Ireland. (Ro2000 16:39, 18 July 2007 (UTC))

Fair enough. I do think it could be more objective though. You're onto a good point there (the one you just mentioned), but maybe you should consider generalising it to include 3 Ireland to explain diversity and maturity in the Irish market. I would also avoid using superlatives and the like. Apologies for thinking you were Meteor, though. Damndirtyape 09:18, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

 * That is ok. The only reason that 3 Ireland is not mentioned in this article is due to the fact that their growth at present is somewhat slower than Meteors, (~1.7% of the market are 3 Ireland customers) to fully mention it in a more relevant mannor, perhaps this should maybe be mentioned in the [| Communications in Ireland] article, and the 3 Ireland artical which ive put in already.
 * --Ro2000 14:46, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I disagree that this section is biased, the first bigger paragraph is fine, and completely based on fact. However I would recommend deleting the second smaller paragraph which lists some of the offers Meteor have. It is a bit too specific. ** User:Nick,Limerick, not registered!

I agree that the second paragragh is 100% dodge. It is advertising the services that Meteor provide and show you how to avail of their offers. Hardly adding to article. Also, using words like "innovative" shows the articles objectivity. I understand Ro2000 that you do not work for Meteor, but your admiration for them shows somewhat in the article. Cormac
 * Thanks for the critique Cormac, this has been noted and I have edited it to remove it. I agree that it has looked dodgy and I only added that because I wanted to highlight a point that Irish networks in the south of Ireland can be as cheap to use as northern (UK owned) networks and not just dominated by the big two players. That is why i have also been editing 3 Ireland's entry due to very competitive services being introduced, and will do so to Eircell-Vodafone and O2 Ireland, as they are beginning to offer more competitive services and pricing to customers.

Charleston, New Zealand

Charleston is a village in the South Island of New Zealand located 30 km south of Westport. It was founded as a goldmining town after a major goldrush in 1867, and is now an adventure tourist village noted for its extensive limestone caves and caving experiences. Guided tours of the nearby Metro Cave / Te Ananui Cave are operated out of Charleston and travel up the Waitakere / Nile River valley.

History
Charleston's origins owe much to gold prospector William Fox. He was born in Ireland in about 1826 and as a young man became a sailor, then a gold prospector.

In 1862 Bill Fox's prospecting activities in the Arrow district excited intense interest. In 1864, Fox travelled to the West Coast. He prospected widely for gold and first discovered it at Fox Creek, a tributary of the Arahura River behind Hokitika, in January 1865.

According to local historian Les Wright, in July 1866 Fox organised a prospecting voyage to what was later named Fox River but didn't find gold there. He led the party on 20 km north to where Charleston would later be, but although they found gold in the sand there, it was too fine to save. So Fox went south to Ōkārito to find out how the miners there were extracting it from fine sand.

In August 1866, while Fox was away, took the credit for the Pakihi ('Parkeese') field which later became known as the Charleston field. At first, goods going to 'Parkeese' were landed at Woodpecker Bay, south of Fox River, and humped about 20 km north to the goldfield. Then Capt Charles Bonner managed to squeeze the ketch 'Constant' into a tiny bay near 'Parkeese' and the town that formed around this new landing spot, Constant Bay, was named Charleston, probably in his honour. Reed (2002) indicates that the community was originally known as 'Charlie's Town', and then 'Charles Town', before settling on the current name. Unlike its more famous American namesake, the town's name is generally pronounced with three syllables.

In November 1866 Fox made a rich strike at Brighton (now Tiromoana), about 10 miles south of Charleston, and in May 1867 a strike near Charleston itself precipitated the last real 'rush' on the West Coast. Brighton was a much bigger town at the start, but Charleston lasted longer and the two have been confused in places. In 1867 Brighton and its environs had 53 hotels while Charleston had 37. However, in 1975-79 remains of around 99 hotels where found by old bottle collectors in the Charleston area which have been documented, with the European hotel the last surviving hotel which was pulled down after the 100 year festivities around 1968. Hannahs shoe shop chain had the very first shop in Charleston in 1867. Marys hotel at the south end of the nine mile beach to the north of Charleston being said to be gateway to Charleston which was also pulled down around 1970. Open cast Coal mines replaced gold mining in Charleston with the Mowarts mine and latter the McGlockland mine which supplied coal to nearby Westport, Gold was still mined on the south end of the nine mile beach up till the late 1970s. In 1990s the seals from Cape Foulwind near Westport moved south to the Charleston coast and made camp at the mouth of the Bromielaw creek about 2 km south of Constant bay. Three ship wrecks have been located around the mouths of both Constant bay and its neighbour Joyce bay which are believed to be from the gold rush times. Charleston was the site for the first cement buildings in New Zealand; a Butter factory and a small house which still stands around 3 km south of Charleston next to Cake hill. The Waitakere / Nile river still has the Cement walls on the river of the old swing bridge which was the main road through the coast in 1899. Charleston is littered with old gold workings and one should watch for old mining shafts which are hidden throughout the area. Charleston has got coal, clay, and sandstone deposits which all have been mined over the years. Wellington's post master got a promotion to the Charleston Post office in 1867 which was a big step up in his career at the time. The Charleston school was moved to the Westport south school and the old school teacher's house (which still stands) was also the Charleston Police station and Charleston jail beforehand.

The population of Charleston during the goldrush is often exaggerated with 30,000 or even 100,000 being mentioned. At the peak of the gold rush, the population of the entire West Coast is believed to have been only 35,000. The early 1867 census, at the peak of the Charleston rush, showed 5,000 on the entire Charleston field and 6,000 on the Brighton field ten miles to the south.

Geography
The Waitakere or Nile River emerges just north of Charleston from an area rich in limestone cliffs and caves. Cave and rafting tours operate from Charleston into the Nile River valley, including a short bush tram track for part of the transport. The Fox River 30 km south of Charleston is named after William Fox.

Juan Pistarini

Juan Pistarini (23 December 1882 – 29 May 1956) was an Argentine general and politician.

Biography
Pistarini was born in the town of Victorica, La Pampa Province. He graduated from the National Military College with a degree in civil engineering, was promoted as army major by 1921, and became a close associate of the War Minister, General Agustín Justo. Justo was elected president in 1932, and appointed Pistarini Minister of Public Works in 1935. Pistarini's his first important initiative as minister was the proposed construction of a new international airport outside Buenos Aires. He was promoted to the rank of general in 1937 and, between then and 1940, was stationed in Germany and Italy. Appointed Director of Army Engineers upon his return, Pistarini recommended German contractors for public works in Argentina and was open regarding his Nazi and Fascist sympathies. His role in the 1943 coup d'état resulted in his appointment as director of the Campo de Mayo army training base. He was returned to the post of Minister of Public Works in March 1944 and served a brief, concurrent term as vice president following the populist Juan Perón's dismissal. Pistarini was retained as Public Works Minister by Perón when the latter was elected president in 1946, in which capacity he administered Perón's ambitious public works agenda. He oversaw and helped plan the construction or development of modern barracks, Argentina's first expressways, numerous public vacation resorts, 11,000 schools, water treatment plants, a modern merchant marine, 650,000 housing units and the planting of two million trees, the nation's first international airport, among other works. He also marshaled the dormant National Mortgage Bank to extend subsidized loans to new homeowners, often at interest rates well below inflation.

Ill health led to his retirement in June 1952 and following Perón's September 1955 overthrow, he had his property seized, was stripped of rank and imprisoned in Ushuaia. The sub-Antarctic climate in Ushuaia led to a worsening in Pistarini's health, and he was returned to Buenos Aires, where he died at a military hospital in 1956.

The Ministro Pistarini International Airport, opened in 1949 in Ezeiza, was named in his honor in 1985.

Antiseptic lavage

Antiseptic lavage is a means of washing, especially of a hollow organ, such as the stomach or lower bowel, with repeated injections of warm water mixed with an antiseptic or antifungal solution. Antiseptic lavages are commonly used as a treatment to pericoronitis of wisdom teeth.

Applying antibacterial solutions to wash out wounds may reduce infection rates compared with non-antibacterial products. Pumping the washing solution into the wound may reduce infections compared with other methods of washing out.
