Kim Chunsu

Kim Chunsu (November 25, 1922 – November 29, 2004) was one of the leading South Korean poets of the late twentieth century. He won numerous literary awards and was a professor of Korean Literature. His works have been translated into English, German and Spanish.

Biography
Kim was born in Chungmu (present-day Tongyeong) on November 25, 1922. He studied literature at Nihon University in Japan from 1940 to 1943, at which time he was expelled and jailed for speaking against the Japanese Empire. After his release seven months later, he returned to Korea and taught in middle and high schools. He began to publish poetry in 1946. He joined the faculty of Kyungpook National University in 1965, and became Dean of the Department of Literature at Yeungnam University in 1978. In 1981, he was elected to the National Assembly. Kim died on November 29, 2004.

Work
He made his debut with the publication of his poem “The Hothouse” in the eighth volume of Bamboo Shoots and release of his collection of poems, Clouds and Roses, the same year. After the introduction of his work in the late forties, however, Kim's career as a poet spanned almost four decades, and his writing evolved and transformed itself with the times. His work can be roughly divided into four periods. The first, which includes his works such as “A Flower” and “An Introductory Poem for a Flower”, focuses on the fundamental role of language and linguistics in attaining consciousness of any particular object's existence. The second period, which encompassed the late 1950s to the late 1960s, was filled with works that used description-oriented narrative images, imagery and aesthetic metaphor purely for imagery's sake. Word play, such as that in “Ballad Tone” (Tareongjo), was also prominent in Kim's works during these years.

The poem “The Heartbreak of Cheoyong” (Cheoyong danjang) signaled the beginning of the third period and a radical break with from his previous work. The poems of this period, rather than centering on the chimerical world of images that were the subject of his previous poetry, emphasized the other worldly, the plane beyond images. His fourth period of poetry, which encompasses his work 1970's until the early 1980s, was marked by Kim's musings and reflections on art and religion, into which he sought insight into their purpose for humanity and their relevance to the earthly life.

Kim won numerous awards including the second Korean Poets’ Association Prize, the seventh Asia Freedom Literature Prize, the Art Academy Prize, and the Culture Medal. In 2007, he was listed by the Korean Poets' Association among the ten most important modern Korean poets.

Talk:Detinue

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think detinue is a "remedy" as described in the current article. My understanding is that it is an older tort not too different from conversion. I'l take some time to look it up later but if anyone knows off hand, let me know. Thanks. --PullUpYourSocks 23:56, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm highly puzzled by the article, since "detinue" was one of the forms of action at common law and therefore not a remedy but more like a tort (though that classification is a newer one). Specific recovery was one of the possible remedies for detinue at common law, which involved the court ordering the detainor to return the detained property to its owner (or person able to assert a better right to it).

I'm fairly sure that there is no notion of intention. I am not sure how a bona fide purchase can have anything to do with it either since nemo dat quod non habet. This article looks very confused. Question: has "detinue" been adopted in the US to mean what this article says it means, or is this just an article written in error. Its hard to tell (my major complaint about law articles -- how can I tell?). Francis Davey 20:11, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Changes seem to have been made by someone called Steve H. Fish, who does not appear to claim any knowledge of law, so I suspect the just plain wrong. Care to rewrite it? Francis Davey 20:14, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I spent some time checking a few tort texts and honestly I have no idea where the current definition of detinue came from. Before I was willing to give some benefit of the doubt but I can't see any reason to now. Simply put, Detinue is the wrongful detention of goods. The rest of the stuff just doesn't make any sense. It needs a complete re-write. --PullUpYourSocks 20:41, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Elk image
What's the relevance of the picture of the Elk? There's just the picture of the animal with the caption 'Modern Canadian law still recognizes detinue' under it. -Depor23 (talk) 10:55, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think the picture should be removed, the other images are also largely irrelevant. Eiad77 (talk) 04:41, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

CKSY-FM

CKSY-FM (94.3 MHz) is a commercial radio station in Chatham-Kent, Ontario. Owned by Blackburn Radio, it broadcasts an adult contemporary format for Southwestern Ontario. CKSY is co-owned with classic rock station CKUE-FM and country station CFCO-AM-FM.

CKSY-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 50,000 watts. Its transmitter is on Fairview Line at Harwich Road in the Harwich section of Chatham.

History
CKSY signed on the air on July 1, 1986. It originally broadcast on 95.1 FM, which had previously been the frequency used by CBEE-FM, a rebroadcaster of CBC Radio One station CBE in Windsor, now at 88.1 FM. CKSY aired easy listening music branded as Cosy, which evolved into a soft adult contemporary format by the mid-1990s.

On May 4, 2002, CKSY switched frequencies with sister station CKUE, relocating to its current frequency of 94.3 FM. In 2005, CKSY and CKUE were acquired by Blackburn Radio.

By 2010, the station had dropped much of its older-skewing and softer titles from its playlist. It adopted a brighter, more contemporary music mix, while remaining within the boundaries of the AC format. In 2014, sister station CKUE-FM discontinued its active rock sound for a soft AC format. It later shifted to a classic rock format as Cool FM.

Omar Khadr's surrender
You changed the Omar Khadr article so that it now reads he pretended to surrender before throwing the grenade that mortally wounded Christopher Speer. This directly contradicts the only detailed account of the skirmish I have come across. Can I ask what you based your revision on? -- Geo Swan 05:59, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

 * See the eighth last paragraph of The Good son:

 * "When the backup troops arrived and Pashtu translators began to negotiate with the men inside the compound, they responded with grenades and bullets. Sgt. Morris was wounded in one eye by a grenade and was evacuated by helicopter, but the battle went on for more than four hours, with the five men refusing to give up even as they were being bombed from overhead. When the shooting stopped, Sgt. Speer and four other Special Forces soldiers were ordered to clear the compound -- collect arms and intelligence. When Sgt. Speer and his fellow soldiers entered the bombed-out compound, they weren't expecting to find anyone alive and were caught off guard when Omar, who was wounded from the bombing, and hiding between two mud-brick buildings, threw a grenade at the passing soldiers."

 * Do you feel that should be described as "pretending to surrender". --  Geo Swan 06:17, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Oh? What is that name of the book?  Who is it by?  Do you think you can recommend it?  Did it devote more than a couple of paragraphs to the skirmish?

 * Do you want a couple more days to look for other reliable, accounts? --  Geo Swan 00:00, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

The book is called Task force Dagger, if you like watching Fox news you will probably like it, if you don't get sucked in by all the neo-con media you probably won't. I may have to find something more tangible, give me a couple of days & I will have a look. :) (Khan 03:27, 9 November 2005 (UTC))

"trying to get a rise out of you for shits & giggles" is a quote from the Austin Powers movie which I sent to an Austin Powers fan who would understand the joke, it was not sent to you so I have no idea why you are replying to it or why you read other peoples messages. And I asked you to show why "this is not an isolated incident" but you ignored my request, because you just made it up & can not provide any proof. We dont accept this sort of behavior on Wikipedia, please think first & do your research before being so rude. What happened to assume good faith? (Khan)

 * If you read my link carefully you will realise that this is not a very exact science, it is VERY hard to confirm what spices it is that attacked or killed anyone, my reference link is the most authoritative source for shark attacks, but it is also very conservative, if there is a unknow killer that is most likely a Bronze Whaler my source will not state Bronze Whaler. When you changed the article last, I tried to search for a page that confirmed what you said, but all I found was lots of pages that said that a bronze whaler or some other species was a suspect, but not one sinlge article that confirmed that a Bronze Whaler was the killer, so then I asked for help and got this link.

I'll be working on them too as I can, but could you browse through the articles when you get a chance, check my work, and add anything that seems to be missing?

Posterior tibial artery

The posterior tibial artery of the lower limb is an artery that carries blood to the posterior compartment of the leg and plantar surface of the foot. It branches from the popliteal artery via the tibial-fibular trunk.

Structure
The posterior tibial artery arises from the popliteal artery in the popliteal fossa. It is accompanied by a deep vein, the posterior tibial vein, along its course. It passes just posterior to the medial malleolus of the tibia, but anterior to the Achilles tendon. It passes into the foot deep to the flexor retinaculum of the foot. It runs through the tarsal tunnel.

Branches
The posterior tibial artery gives rise to:

 * medial plantar artery.
 * lateral plantar artery.
 * fibular artery, which is said to rise from the bifurcation of the tibial-fibular trunk and the posterior tibial artery.
 * calcaneal branch to the medial aspect of the calcaneus.

Function
The posterior tibial artery supplies oxygenated blood to the posterior compartment of the leg and the plantar surface of the foot.

Palpation of the posterior tibial artery pulse
The posterior tibial artery pulse can be readily palpated halfway between the posterior border of the medial malleolus and the Achilles tendon. It is often examined by clinicians when assessing a patient for peripheral vascular disease. It is very rarely absent in young and healthy individuals. In a study of 547 healthy individuals, only one person did not have a palpable posterior tibial artery. It is easily palpated over Pimenta's Point.

Nerve block
The posterior tibial artery is used as a landmark for the tibial nerve as both structures enter the foot. Local anaesthetic is injected either side of the artery distal to the flexor retinaculum of the foot, close to the calcaneus.
