Talk:Alexandra Feodorovna (Charlotte of Prussia)

Untitled
the article says: Nikolai (i.e, son of Charlotte of Prussia) married Charlotte of Prussia! It is either an error or a call for disambiguation/ renaming. mikka (t) 18:57, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Corrected it. Her son Nicholas married a princess of Oldenburg (who actually lived in Russia already in childhood) - a granddaughter of Nicholas I's sister Catherine. Someone had probably made an error, perhaps due to the fact that both Paul I and Nicholas I had by name and birth order an identical series of sons: Alexander, Constantin, Nicholas and Michael. Arrigo 21:08, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

IMO those parenthetical disambiguations are messy. As this "Alexandra Fedorovna (Charlotte of Prussia)" is already very close to Alexandra Fedorovna of Prussia, please move this to that heading. Unnecessary to use parentheses when one word, "Prussia", instead, makes the same. 217.140.193.123 16:52, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

I find the present title acceptable, and preferable to that suggested above by an anonymous user. Deb 17:53, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

 * The correct way for this title is "Charlotte of Prussia (Alexandra Fyodorovna)". Having her birth name in front and the name she accepted in Russia in parentheses. Popov 2000

Requested move
The disambig parenthesis make for a horrible title. I don't care what the exact title needs to be, as long as the parenthesis is done away with. --Apostrophe 19:09, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree that some change is necessary, but this is the wrong format: There is no concrete proposal to support, and I expect full and frank discussion of the two obvious ones. Therefore I take the liberty of changing to approval summary Septentrionalis 03:16, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Approval summary
''Please state which of the following options you can approve of, and an optional one sentence summary. Feel free to add additional choices.'' This is a summary, not a replacement, of the discussion which follows. Changes of approval as a result of discussion are welcome, but should be indicated by striking out approvals, rather than removing them.

Charlotte of Prussia

 * The naming conventions, as they stand, support this. Septentrionalis 03:16, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * As there were two Russian Empresses with the name Alexandra Fyodorovna (Feodorovna), I support this choice. Prsgoddess187 15:52, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Alexandra Fyodorovna

 * See below. Septentrionalis 03:16, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Alexandra Fyodorovna (Charlotte of Prussia)

 * support this name. There is nothing wrong with parentheses. See also, talk:Alexandra Fyodorovna of Hesse that should be moved to Alexandra Fyodorovna (Alix of Hesse). Similar parenthical dab is used at Patriarch Filaret. This is the best solution IMO. --Irpen 23:09, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * support this name. She is notable as Russian Emperess under the name of Alexandra Fyodorovna, and we need parenthesis to distinguish her from the other emperess. Obviously we need redirects and fors to make search for the article easier. abakharev 00:37, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Alexandra Fyodorovna of Prussia

 * I prefer this alternative. It conforms with the NC. Arrigo 17:28, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Other
This is all a huge mess. The current way cannot really stand. The problem with "Alexandra Fyodorovna" is that there were two in the history of Russia. "Alexandra of Prussia" is totally misleading. How about

 * '''Empress Alexandra of Russia (1798-1860) or
 * '''Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna (1798-1860) or
 * '''Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna of Russia (1798-1860)

or Alexandra Fyodorovna, Empress of Russia

could this be a solution? Gryffindor 10:38, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Discision
It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it to be moved. Ryan Norton T 01:26, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Discussion
This is a difficult case. Like Catherine the Great, the Empress was not, and is not, particularly notable under the name she had before she came to Russia. (How many articles on Prussian princesses do we have?) I am open to persuasion. Septentrionalis 03:16, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I vote for Alexandra Feodorovna (Nicholas I's wife), with no mention of Prussia at all. --Ghirlandajo 06:03, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

I wrote the article about Alexandra Feodorovna (Charlotte of Prussia). I worked really hard on it. There is little information about her and I had to read three books and search many more to do the research. I appreciate the interest you have in the article, but I am sadly surprised about you disliked for the order of the pictures. I looked for them, and uploaded them for the wikipedia. They were placed in cronological order. I amn open to hear your point of view, so please get in touch to my user page Miguelemejia. I chaged they way you set the picture because I found my original distribution, a better one.

I re-arranged the photos about a week ago, which looked far better.Miguelemejia changed them back for no apparent reason to the way they were arranged before, which looks horrible.

I appreciate the interest Mrlopez2681had in the article, but I am sadly surprised about his disliked for the order of the pictures. I looked for them, and uploaded them for the wikipedia.

I chaged they way Mrlopez2681 set the picture because I found my original distribution, a better one, being the author of the article I think I have a good saying on the matter. I find discouraging when, instead of expand or make real contributions to articles, people just seems to changed things closer to their personal liking. At the end is just subjectivity.

Miguelemejia

Miguelemejia

What is the deal
On Jan. 13 I added an infobox and did a copy-edit, as well as added a new photo which I put into a gallery with two others so the article wouldnt look cluttered. I didnt change the text but merely made it make sense - whoever wrote the text created some passages that sounded funny (for example - "Princess Charlotte with her whole family had to flee to East Prussia, where they look for the protection of Tsar Alexander I of Russia."

The changes I made to Miguelemejia's photo arrangement weren't based on my own "personal preferences", rather just trying to make the article look better a little better. For example, the middle photo of the Empress and her children had a line going through it due to the level 2 headline and its position on the left. I changed the headline to 1.1 to get rid of this line, and then went ahead and made all of the other headlines 1.1 so the article would look OK. But user Miguelemejia went back in and put the headlines back to level 2, and thus the ridiculous looking line came back in full force. I went ahead and re-positioned the photo to the right. Since the photo was now on the right, I lowered it a bit so that the article would look balanced. He said the photos were in chronological order, but there was really no way of knowing this. Interestingly, the user accused me of changing things for my own personal preference, even though he was going in and changing it back to his original edit, which was obviously his own preference.

User: Miguelemejia has repeatedly gone in for no good reason and changed these edits, as well as a few made by others. It seems to me that he or she is reverting back to his or her own edits simply because of some personal affection for them, and not taking into account other people's contributions.

Timing of Nicholas' affairs
The page on Nicholas (without listing sources) disagrees with the assertion that Nicholas had no mistresses until his wife's illness after twenty five years of marriage.

Talk:Kingery Highway

Untitled
I know that road-stub is trying to be added to this article... but aside from repeating information that's in the Kingery Expressway article about Robert Kingery... there's not much more to say about the Kingery Highway. ---Rob 18:59, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * There's plenty to be said about it (exact length, history, areas traversed, etc.), it's not just all that interesting. It may well remain a stub forever, but there's no reason not to properly label it. siafu 19:28, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, but stubs are meant to be completed. I'll supply what I can. It would just be weird to start seeing articles like Lake Street (DuPage County, Illinois) or Busse Highway, which is close to what this article is. ---Rob 01:01, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Weird maybe, but it wouldn't be so bad. We've already got articles like DeKoven Street (Chicago) and it's not paper, after all.  Maybe a mention of why it's named Kingery Highway, esp. since many if not most locals don't even know that it is and just refer to it as Route 83. siafu 01:10, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Warriors of Plasm

Warriors of Plasm was the flagship title of Jim Shooter's Defiant Comics comic book company.

Besides the original first issue (#1) of the comic (1993), there was also a zero issue (#0) of Warriors of Plasm which was released as an insert in Previews magazine, and as a trading card set that could be put together in a binder to be read as a comic. There was also a Warriors of Plasm graphic novel titled Home for the Holidays, published in between issues #5 and #6.

Legal battle
Originally called Plasm, the title was changed after Marvel Comics threatened Defiant Comics with a lawsuit over a similarly titled series, Plasmer.

Jim Shooter changed the name to Warriors of Plasm in an attempt to avoid any further legal issues with Marvel. However, Defiant Comics still wound up defending themselves in a court battle with Marvel over the name.

Defiant Comics won in court, but had spent over $300,000 in legal fees to defend itself. The loss of capital would help lead to Defiant's eventual collapse.

Publication history
Warriors of Plasm was published for a total of 13 issues from August 1993 to August 1994. Most of the books were written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by David Lapham. Shooter had discovered Lapham during his tenure as editor-in-chief of Valiant Comics.

The series also featured the talents of Len Wein, a former editor-in-chief at Marvel Comics, and Dave Cockrum, who helped co-create many of the "new" X-Men at Marvel Comics with Chris Claremont.

The final issue of Warriors of Plasm was one of only two books published by Defiant to carry the Schism storyline. Originally, Jim Shooter had planned to do a "crossover" including all of Defiant's titles and characters, but because of the failure of the company only Warriors of Plasm #13 and Dogs of War #5 ever saw publication.

Plot
Far from earth is a planet which is also a living organism: the Org of Plasm. The Org must constantly be fed. This is accomplished by conquering new planets. Lorca, the Supreme Acquisitor, leads this mission. Lorca soon sets his sights on Earth.

However, he devises an attempt to overthrow the rulers of Plasm. To do so he genetically modifies five humans. When his rebellion is thwarted, he sends them home. These humans gain superpowers and then set themselves in preparation to attempt to defend the Earth from the oncoming alien invasion from Plasm. The humans do not function well together, suffering leadership conflicts and the desire to regain their normal lives.

Characters
On Plasm, the main characters are:

 * Lorca – Lorca is the Supreme Acquisitor on the Org of Plasm. He seeks out other planets for the living Org of Plasm to consume.
 * Sueraceen – Sueraceen is the High Gore-Lord of Plasm, its chief military officer.
 * Ulnareah – Ulnareah is the Grand Inquisitor of Plasm. He serves under Lorca but has his ambitions set much higher.

The five genetically altered superheroes are all residents of New Jersey. They are:

 * Glory – a.k.a. "Mrs. J"; Louise Johnson, a married grandmother of two.
 * Preach – Reverend Martin Gilbert, the bishop of a New Jersey church.
 * Shooter – Elvis Mazerov, an ex-military officer.
 * Mouse – Rick Tietz, a large, shy auto-mechanic.
 * Nudge – Cookie Wazenegger, a quiet, polite girl who works at a cosmetics counter.

Everton Cemetery

Everton Cemetery, in Long Lane, Fazakerley, Liverpool, opened in July 1880.

History
The site for the cemetery was bought in 1876/7, and John Houlding's building company was contracted to develop the site with its three mortuary chapels, gatehouses, boundary walls and gates. Houlding, the founder of Liverpool F.C., was also the first Chairman of the Everton Burial Board. Everton Cemetery was officially opened on 16 July 1880.

Many of the headstones in Everton Cemetery date back much further than its opening. Whenever work was undertaken in the city, like widening of roads or dock gates, if this work cut into the city's graveyards, the bodies would be exhumed, and moved to Everton, along with their headstones. Sections of Everton Cemetery contain many of these graves, from the likes of St Anne's Church (1772-1871), Church of Our Lady and St. Nicholas, and St. George's, to name but a few.

On 31 August 1898, Liverpool's Necropolis Cemetery (Low Hill/Everton), was closed, due to an edict of the City Council, citing the unsanitary conditions spreading to surrounding neighbourhoods, plus the fact that the cemetery was nearing its full capacity of 80,000 burials. The old headstones were 'dropped' over the graves, and subsequently landscaped in the early 1910s, to make Grant Gardens a public park, which was opened by City Alderman J.R. Grant in 1914.

Headstones from 'active' private plots at the Necropolis were removed to Everton Cemetery, along with much older headstones and remains from church graveyards within the city boundaries, when public works, such as road-widening or improvements to the riverside docks were undertaken in the early 1900s, which cut into these old burial sites.

The majority of standing Necropolis Headstones at Everton Cemetery are in the centre of Section GEN6; however, there are a few of these headstones placed in other religious denomination sections of the cemetery. Older 'dropped' headstones and remains, from churches within the city, long gone, are buried in the outer boundary sections of Everton Cemetery (CE32-38).

The gates to the cemetery, the lodge and the chapel are all Grade II listed buildings.

War graves
Everton Cemetery is also described (by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission) as Liverpool (Everton) Cemetery.

In December 1914, Liverpool became one of the 21 Auxiliary Patrol Bases and, in February 1915, the base of the 10th Cruiser Squadron during the First World War. During the Second World War, Liverpool was the headquarters of Western Approaches Command and a manning depot for officers and men of the Merchant Navy who agreed to serve with the Royal Navy for the duration of the war.

Liverpool (Everton) Cemetery contains 55 First World War burials and 15 from the Second World War. There is a small Screen Wall memorial bearing the names of those whose graves are not marked by headstones. During the First World War, almost 700 American servicemen died in Liverpool's military hospitals and most of them were buried in Everton cemetery. Their remains were later removed in 1920 to the American military cemetery at Brookwood, or to the United States. There are 71 identified Commonwealth service war casualties buried at Everton.

Yagan's head
The head of Australian Aborigine warrior Yagan (c. 1795–1833), after being kept in Liverpool Museum, was buried in the cemetery in 1964 (General Section 16, grave number 296), in a box also containing a Peruvian mummy and a Maori's head that had also been kept by the museum.

After lobbying of British and Australian governments by Noongar tribal representatives, the head was exhumed in 1997 (despite a common grave of 22 infant children having been made over it in intervening years) for repatriation and reburial in Belhus, Western Australia.

Talk:CR Flamengo

'New glory' isn't a very tasteful title for a section that starts with discussion of a fatal fire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.94.60.95 (talk) 12:56, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Football honours
CR Flamengo was champion for the eighth time of the Brazilian Championship and not 7 as it is in the article.

CBF, the highest entity of Brazilian football and organizer of the League, recognizes Flamengo as 8 times champion of Brazil.

Sources:

LuanCastle (talk) 16:45, 2 March 2021 (UTC).
 * The STF has already stated that the champion of the 1987 Brazilian championship was the Sport. What Flamengo won that year was the Copa União. Some sites report that the CBF website cited that it would be "eighth" in the club's history, but I didn't find such news on the official CBF website. Recently, CBF stated that it recognized Flamengo as the 1987 champion "a título de opinião". Flamengo has yet to open any discussions at FIFA regarding the imbroglio; if it opened, there is still no official manifestation of the maximum entity of football (soccer). ✍A.WagnerC (talk) 21:25, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Flamengo Rowing Club
I'm torn, since there are not a lot of sources using the term "Flamengo Rowing Club", but it seems like that should be the name on the English Wikipedia, as that is the wp:commonname in English. It doesn't seem likely that English sources would use "Clube de Regatas do Flamengo" in place of "Flamengo Rowing Club", as the latter is a direct translation into... English. Before I send to a WP:RM, I want to see if there is consensus so that I just move it without a formal discussion. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 18:03, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Just another bump, two weeks in, to remind others that this is on the table and I'm likely to move the article to the WP:COMMONNAME used in English. Discussion beforehand is welcomed. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 11:07, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * It's been a month, no arguments or comments, so I'm going to just move the article as there appears to be zero contention to it. I will leave this name as a redirect, of course.  Dennis Brown - 2¢ 17:06, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Belief bias

Belief bias is the tendency to judge the strength of arguments based on the plausibility of their conclusion rather than how strongly they justify that conclusion. A person is more likely to accept an argument that supports a conclusion that aligns with their values, beliefs and prior knowledge, while rejecting counter arguments to the conclusion. Belief bias is an extremely common and therefore significant form of error; we can easily be blinded by our beliefs and reach the wrong conclusion. Belief bias has been found to influence various reasoning tasks, including conditional reasoning, relation reasoning and transitive reasoning.

Syllogisms
A syllogism is a kind of logical argument in which one proposition (the conclusion) is inferred from two or more others (the premises) of a specific form. The classical example of a valid syllogism is:

 * All humans are mortal. (major premise)
 * Socrates is human. (minor premise)
 * Therefore, Socrates is mortal. (conclusion)

An example of an invalid syllogism is:

 * All teenage girls are ambitious.
 * Teenage girls study hard.
 * Therefore, girls study hard because they are ambitious.

Typically, a majority of test subjects in studies incorrectly identify this syllogism as one in which the conclusion follows from the premises. It might be true in the real world that a) girls study and b) this is because they are ambitious. However, this argument is a fallacy, because the conclusion is not supported by its premises. The validity of an argument is independent from the truth of its conclusion: there are valid arguments for false conclusions and invalid arguments for true conclusions. Hence, it is an error to judge the validity of an argument from the plausibility of its conclusion. This is the reasoning error known as belief bias.

When a person gives a response that is determined by the believability of the conclusion rather than logical validity, this is referred to as belief bias only when a syllogism is used. This phenomenon is so closely related to syllogistic reasoning that, when it does occur, in areas such as Wason's selection task or the THOG problem, it is called "memory cueing" or the "effects of content".

Dual-process theory of belief bias
Many researchers in thinking and reasoning have provided evidence for a dual-process cognitive approach to reasoning, judgment and decision making. They argue that these two mental processes (system 1 and system 2) engage in a constant battle for control over our brain to reason and make decisions. System 1 can be described as an automatic response system characterised by "unconscious", "intuitive" and "rapid" evaluation; whereas system 2 is said to be a controlled response system, characterised by “conscious”, “analytic” and “slow” evaluation; some researchers even claimed to have found a link between general intelligence and the effectiveness of decision making.

The dual-process cognitive theory is different from the two minds hypothesis. Research done by Jonathan St B. T. Evans in 2007 provided evidence for the view that System 1, which serves as a quick heuristic processor, fights for control over System 2's slower analytical approach. In the experiment, participants were asked to evaluate syllogisms that have valid arguments with unconvincing conclusions; valid arguments with convincing conclusions; invalid arguments with unconvincing conclusions; invalid arguments with convincing conclusions. The results show that when the conclusion is believable, people blindly accept invalid conclusions more so than invalid arguments are accepted.

Time
Various studies have proved that the time period for which a subject is allowed to think when evaluating arguments is related to the tendency for belief bias to take place. In a study done by Evans and Holmes in 2005, they recruited two different groups of people to answer a series of reasoning questions. One group of people were given only two seconds to answer the questions; whereas the other group of people were allowed to use as much time as they would like to answer the questions. The result obtained was that a higher percentage of incorrect answers were found in the time pressured group than the other; they concluded that this was a result of a shift in logical to belief-biased way of thinking.

Nature of content
The nature of the content presented can also affect belief bias of an individual as shown by a study done by Goel & Vartanian in 2011. In their experiment, 34 participants were presented with a syllogism upon each trial. Each trial were either neutral or carried some degree of negative content. Negative content involved in the experiment were politically incorrect social norm violations, such as the statement “Some wars are not unjustified, Some wars involve raping of women, therefore, Some raping of women is not unjustified”. For syllogisms where the content was neutral, the results were consistent with studies of belief bias; however, for syllogisms with negative emotional content, participants were more likely to reason logically on invalid syllogisms with believable conclusions instead of automatically judging them to be valid. In other words, the effect of belief bias is reduced when the content presented is of negative emotion. According to Goel and Vartanian, this is because negative emotions prompts us to reason in more careful and in more detail. This argument was supported by the observation that for questions with negative emotions, the reaction time taken was significantly longer than that of questions that a neutral.

Instructions given
In an experiment done by Evans, Newstead, Allen & Pollard in 1994, where subjects were given detailed instructions which lack specific reference to the notion of logical necessity when answering questions, it was shown that a larger proportion of answers actually rejected invalid arguments with convincing conclusions as opposed to when no further instructions were given when the subjects were asked to answer the questions. The results of the experiments reflects that when elaborated instructions were given to subjects to reason logically, the effects of belief bias is decreased.

Research
In a series of experiments by Evans, Barston and Pollard (1983), participants were presented with evaluation task paradigms, containing two premises and a conclusion. The participants were asked to make an evaluation of logical validity. The subjects, however, exhibited a belief bias, evidenced by their tendency to reject valid arguments with unbelievable conclusions, and endorse invalid arguments with believable conclusions. Instead of following directions and assessing logical validity, the subjects based their assessments on personal beliefs.

Consequently, these results demonstrated a greater acceptance of more believable (80%), than unbelievable (33%) conclusions. Participants also illustrated evidence of logical competences and the results determined an increase in acceptance of valid (73%) than invalid (41%). Additionally, there's a small difference between believable and valid (89%) in comparison to unbelievable and invalid (56%) (Evans, Barston & Pollard, 1983; Morley, Evans & Handley, 2004).

It has been argued that using more realistic content in syllogisms can facilitate more normative performance from participants. It has been suggested that the use of more abstract, artificial content will also have a biasing effect on performance. Therefore, more research is required to fully understand how and why belief bias occurs and if there are certain mechanisms that are responsible for such things. There is also evidence of clear individual differences in normative responding that are predicted by the response times of participants.

A 1989 study by Markovits and Nantel gave participants four reasoning tasks. The results indicated “a significant belief-bias effect” that existed “independently of the subjects' abstract reasoning ability.”

A 2010 study by Donna Torrens examined differences in belief bias among individuals. Torrens found that “the extent of an individual's belief bias effect was unrelated to a number of measures of reasoning competence” but was, instead, related to that person's ability “to generate alternative representations of premises: the more alternatives a person generated, the less likely they were to show a belief bias effect."

In a 2010 study, Chad Dube and Caren M. Rotello of the University of Massachusetts and Evan Heit of the University of California, Merced, showed that “the belief bias effect is simply a response bias effect.”

In a 2012 study, Adrian P. Banks of the University of Surrey explained that “belief bias is caused by the believability of a conclusion in working memory which influences its activation level, determining its likelihood of retrieval and therefore its effect on the reasoning process.”

Michelle Colleen and Elizabeth Hilscher of the University of Toronto showed in 2014 that belief bias can be affected by the difficulty level and placement of the syllogism in question.

John Elton

John Elton (d. 1751) was an English sea captain, shipbuilder and merchant best known for inventing Elton's quadrant and serving the shah of Iran, Nader Shah.

Life
John Elton was the inventor of Elton's quadrant who patented his design in 1728 and published details of the instrument in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in 1732. He was sent by the Russian government in 1735 to assist in the Orenburg expedition in the rank of a sea captain. During this mission he was sent to explore Lake Aral, but was hindered by the Tartars from reaching the lake. He then employed himself in surveying the south-eastern frontier of Russia, particularly part of the basins of the Kama, Volga, and Jaik.

Returning to Saint Petersburg in January 1738, he took umbrage at not obtaining promotion and quit the Russian service. In the same year he proposed to some of the British factors at St. Petersburg to carry on a trade through Russia into Iran and central Asia by way of the Caspian Sea. Associating himself with Mungo Graeme, a young Scot, he obtained credit for a small cargo of goods suitable for Khiva and Bokhara. They left Moscow on 19 March 1738-9, and, proceeding down the Volga from Nijni Novgorod to Astrakhan, embarked on the Caspian for Karagansk. At Karagansk they received such unpromising accounts of the state of the steppe that they resolved to continue their voyage to Rasht in Iran.

Elton was successful in finding a good market and in obtaining a decree from the shah granting them liberty to trade throughout Iran, and extraordinary privileges. He persuaded the Russia Company to take up his scheme, and in 1741 an Act of Parliament sanctioning the trade was passed. In 1742 two ships were built on the Caspian, and Elton was placed in command of the first completed. These vessels carried the English flag, which, however, Anthony Jenkinson claimed to have first displayed on the Caspian about 1558. The apprehensions of the Russian court were, however, excited by the intelligence that Elton was building ships on the Caspian, after the European fashion, for the Iranian sovereign, Nader Shah.

On receipt of the intelligence the Russia Company despatched Jonas Hanway to make inquiry concerning Elton's proceedings. Hanway arrived at Rasht on 3 December 1743 and found Elton earnestly pressing forward the construction of Iranian vessels. The Russian court, indignant at Elton's action, refused to countenance the Caspian trade and ruined the expectations of the Russia Company. In the meanwhile Elton had constructed a ship of twenty guns for Nader Shah, of which he was placed in command. He was appointed admiral of the Caspian, and received orders to oblige all Russian vessels on those waters to salute his flag. During his service to Nader, he also twice transported supplies to Baku, and surveyed the southern coast of Dagestan as a preparation for another episode in his Dagestan campaign.

The Russia Company, in October 1744, vainly ordered him to return to England, Elton replying by the transmission of a decree from Nader Shah, dated 19 November 1745, forbidding him to quit Iran. Offers of a pension from the Russia Company and a post in the navy from the British government were equally ineffectual. Disregarding the injury which he was inflicting on the Russia Company, he maintained that a British subject may with loyalty take service with any foreign potentate on friendly terms with Britain, and that he was under no obligations to Russia. On the death of Nader in 1747 he narrowly escaped assassination, but found protection from several of the Iranian princes. Finally, however, in April 1751, he espoused the cause of Mohammad Hasan Khan Qajar, and was besieged in his house at Gilan by the rival faction. He was subsequently taken prisoner by the governor of Gilan, Hajj Jamal Fumani, for his unwillingness to protect Rasht against the advancing Qajars. He was later shot dead. A great part of Elton's diary during his first expedition to Iran in 1739 is printed in Jonas Hanway's Historical Account of the British Trade over the Caspian Sea (1754). Lake Elton in south-eastern Russia is probably named after him.

Talk:Lava dome

Merge w/Volcanic dome
In using the random article feature (my preferred method of perusing Wikipedia), I discovered the above article and figured there had to be something similar in existence, like this article. I didn't do the "merge to" or "merge from" thing, mainly because I don't know whkich terminology is technically more correct. However, this article is a little more polished, while volcanic dome is still an orphan (didn't see much point in fixing that). StopTheFiling 19:02, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Note that the volcanic dome article does not exists any longer and was mergwed into lava dome. Dentren |  Ta lk  13:36, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Merge with Lava dome
Volcanic dome redirects as espected to Lava dome because they are essentially the same thing. A cryptodome is slighly different because it is hidden lava dome but as the article is just a stub and the lava dome article is not too big i propose to merge cryptodome into lavadome. Dentren |  Ta lk  13:35, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Two causes for s
The article says a is a "roughly circular mound-shaped protrusion resulting from the slow extrusion of viscous lava from a volcano". But can't a form when lava is under pressure and forces the rock above it into a dome (like if someone is lying under a blanket and gets up)? --The High Fin Sperm Whale (talk) 00:48, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * What you are mentioning is likely a cryptodome and is descibred in the asrticle. Dentren |  Ta lk  19:12, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Mount Hood lava dome?
In the list of lava domes section, it states that a lava dome on Mount Hood last erupted in 1907. This is odd, as the GVP states that it last erupted in 1866 and none of its historical eruptions have produced lava domes. Can the person who made this edit explain? -- Guan long   wucaii  08:22, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Dont trust GVP I have seen it give wrong dates several times. Despite of the date of eruption the Mount Hood article statres that it has lava domes on the top. Dentren  |  Ta lk  15:32, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, the 1907 eruption of Mount Hood is on the GVP website. The Eruptive History section on the Mount Hood page states that the 1907 eruption is uncertain and occurred at Crater Rock on Hood's southwestern flank, which is a lava dome. Another uncertain eruption occurred in 1869 with no details given. The last positive eruption in the eruptive history page is the 1866 eruption. Thus, I would consider removing Hood from the lava dome list unless there is clear proff an eruption at Hood occurred or produced a lava dome. BT (talk) 20:25, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * So I remove it? -- Guan long   wucaii  12:42, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Taunton High School

Taunton High School (often abbreviated THS) is located within a large, three-floor, interconnected, multi-block complex in the eastern section of Taunton, Massachusetts, United States. It is an urban public high school with an estimated average student enrollment of 3,000 students. It offers many student-oriented services, specialty academic programs, extra-curricular clubs, various after-school programs and a wide array of scholastic sports. Taunton High School is one of the largest high schools in New England, and is the 4th largest in Massachusetts, behind Brockton, Lowell, and New Bedford.

The main section of the building is divided into four different "houses" in which different classes are held, along with an associate headmaster's office in each, and the main headmaster's office in the middle. One of the houses in the main building complex once contained a public middle school, John F. Parker Middle School, until 2009 where, during a total renovation of the entire school, a fifth, exterior wing was added to the front of the school to house the displaced middle school students. Adjacent to school is the fine arts house, Robert H. Park Auditorium, which currently holds seating capacities up to 1,500 people, and beneath that the music rooms, dressing rooms, and storage. The school also shares a two-leveled gymnasium with Parker Middle School, where most of the indoor sports teams perform and a "pep rally" is held in the fall. The school's field house is one of the largest gymnasiums in New England, capable of holding both indoor track meets and basketball tournaments.

History
The requirement for High School level classes in Taunton was established in 1838. The City of Taunton, at that time, did not have a central building in which to hold high school level classes. The local school officials decided to hold high school classes in a neighborhood schoolhouse and rotate each semester to a different location. The first organization of a high school class was held in the District #11 Schoolhouse that later became known as the Woodward School at 52 Worcester Street. The rotation system continued for two years and the state of Massachusetts decided to discontinue the requirement for cities and towns to offer high school classes. From 1840 to 1848, there were no high school classes offered in Taunton. In 1849, Massachusetts, once again, required cities and towns to establish high school classes. The leaders of Taunton decided to hold high school classes in the basement of a church on Spring Street known as the Winslow Church. The classes continued at that location until local officials expanded the interior of the City Hall. The high School classes were moved to the second floor of Taunton City Hall in the mid-1850s and remained there until 1885 when a new High School was built on Washington Street on the site of a popular picnic grounds called 'King's Grove'. The Taunton High School on Washington Street received numerous additions as well as a face lift over the years. The building was in need of replacement and city officials purchased the Baylies estate on Williams Street to construct a new and current Taunton High School complex in 1975.

2011 Renovation
In 2011 Taunton High School completed a three year, $93 million renovation by The Design Partnership of Cambridge. The John F. Parker Middle School was removed from the High School and a new wing was constructed that houses the operations of the John F. Parker Middle School.

Gerald D. Jennings

Gerald David "Jerry" Jennings (born July 31, 1948) is an American former politician from the state of New York who was the 74th mayor of Albany. A Democrat, Jennings won five terms as mayor of Albany and served in that capacity for 20 years. At the time of his retirement in 2013, Jennings was the second longest tenured mayor in the city's history.

Background and early career
Born in North Albany, Gerald "Jerry" Jennings began his career in the Albany City School District after graduating with a bachelor's degree from SUNY Brockport in 1970 and a Master of Science degree from the University at Albany in 1976.

Jennings served for 13 years on the Albany Common Council representing the 11th Ward.

Mayor of Albany
Jennings won an upset in the 1993 Democratic mayoral primary—the real contest in this heavily Democratic city—over Harold Joyce, who had the Democratic Party’s formal endorsement and had only recently been its chairman. He went on to win the general election, becoming the 74th mayor of Albany. Jennings was re-elected four times and retired as mayor at the end of 2013.

In a break from his party, Jennings endorsed George Pataki, a Republican, in the 2002 New York gubernatorial race. The mayor has also supported now-former U.S. Representative John E. Sweeney (R-Clifton Park). Jennings has been a strong proponent of the plan to build a convention center in downtown Albany. He hosted a call-in radio show on WGDJ every Friday from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.

In 2006, Jennings was voted out of his position on the New York State Democratic Committee by state Assemblyman John McEneny. The mayor had served on the committee since 2002. This race was a rematch of the 1997 primary, when McEneny unsuccessfully challenged Jennings for the Democratic mayoral nomination.

The Albany Times Union reported on November 25, 2008 that Jennings would seek re-election for a fifth term in 2009. The story noted that "Safety in the city, with its youth violence and gun crimes, continues to mar Jennings' leadership and Albany's image." Jennings's opponent for the Democratic primary, Albany Common Council member Corey Ellis, announced his candidacy on March 2, 2009. (Common Council President Shawn Morris was originally also a candidate, but she dropped out over the summer.) Jennings won the primary, held on September 15, 2009, and went on to defeat Republican Nathan Lebron on November 3 in the general election.

Illegal guns
Jennings served as a member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition, a bi-partisan group with a stated goal of "making the public safer by getting illegal guns off the streets." The Coalition was co-chaired by former Boston mayor Tom Menino and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Beginning in 2002, the Albany Police Department endured a scandal regarding illicitly purchased machine guns.

Parking ticket scandal
In November 2008, local media reported that for 15 years the Albany Police Department has engaged in an unapproved effort to avoid parking fines. It was alleged that an unofficial, secret system resulted in "zero fine" tickets being issued to an unknown number of local drivers who either had special windshield decals or were on VIP lists. Both the New York State Comptroller's Office and the Albany Common Council investigated the practice, and the Albany Times Union made a request under the Freedom of Information Law to obtain more information about it. New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli's audit faulted the city for "lax oversight that allowed at least two informal systems for skirting parking fines to flourish." In November 2009, Jennings denied that he knew of any abuses in regard to parking tickets, and also directed that the issuance of no-fine tickets be ceased.

WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain

'WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain  (known as Exciting Pro Wrestling 5' in Japan) is a professional wrestling video game developed by Yuke's and published by THQ for PlayStation 2 in North America on October 27, 2003. It is the sequel to WWE SmackDown! Shut Your Mouth, the fifth and last game in the WWE SmackDown! series based on World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

Here Comes the Pain received positive reviews. The game would be succeeded by WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw in 2004.

Gameplay
The games introduced a more advanced and extensive grappling system, while still retaining the series' fast gameplay.

Alongside a new grappling system, body damage displays and submission meters (for both the person applying the move and the person breaking out of the move), as well as the ability to break the submission hold when grabbing the ropes, and individual character attributes that consisted of statistics (such as strength, endurance, and speed) were all introduced to the series for the first time. Here Comes the Pain also marks the first time the Elimination Chamber and the Bra and Panties Match would be featured in a wrestling game.

Alongside a playable roster of over 50 Superstars who were active members of the WWE roster at the time of the game's release, legends were introduced for the first time in the series, which included wrestlers such as Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, as well as former iterations of current wrestlers, such as The Undertaker with his original "Deadman" gimmick. It also marks the final time that The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin would appear in a WWE game as non-legends, and is the first WWE game to feature future mainstays John Cena, "The Animal" Batista, and Rey Mysterio as playable characters. It is also the first game to depict Kane without his mask.

Additional updates were also made to Season Mode, with decisions being made on a new menu screen in the locker room, while players could enter the General Manager's room to ask for title shots and brand switches, as well as having the opportunity to talk to various wrestlers appear backstage. There are multiple titles to go after depending on if the players go to SmackDown! or Raw.

Development
Early beta versions of the game featured Jeff Hardy, Hulk Hogan (along with his alter-ego Mr. America and his 1980s appearance) and The Ultimate Warrior. However, Hogan and Hardy were removed from the game when they left WWE, and Warrior was ultimately omitted due to legal issues. Data for other omitted wrestlers, including Al Snow, Spike Dudley, Billy Kidman, Billy Gunn, William Regal, Bradshaw, Molly Holly and 3-Minute Warning remains on the final disc, with none of them having any finished character models. The concept of having multiple versions of Hogan in one game was finally realized with his inclusion in the release of WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006.

Reception
''WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain'' received a "Platinum" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), indicating sales of at least 300,000 copies in the United Kingdom.

The game received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic.

IGN praised gameplay mechanics, graphics, career mode, and create-a-character feature, and called it one of the best games in the wrestler genre. GameSpot was also positive despite saying that it lacks an innovation. Eurogamer said that the game has a "superb" blend of traditional and wrestling-specific fight mechanics. GMR commended the game's submission moves due to its logical location-based damage system and said that the wrestlers are accurately presented.

Other reviews were more mixed. Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine commented that the game tried to accommodate both sides by combining quick action with the technical elements of wrestling, but that it almost succeeds in it. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 29 out of 40.

Talk:List of geological features on Mimas

Comment
There have been questions on what to use as an adjective for Mimas. Related pages have gone through various incarnations, such as "Hershel (crater on Mimas)" vs. "Hershel (Mimantean crater)". None are established in English. Ad hoc proposals have included Mimian and Mimasian. However, the Greek root is mimant-, suggesting Mimantean. This would parallel the accepted Atlantean for Atlas. See Mimas Talk for discussion. --kwami 19:05, 2005 July 20 (UTC)

Jack Du Brul

Jack Du Brul (born October 15, 1968 in Burlington, Vermont) is an American author who writes techno-thriller novels.

Early life
Du Brul remained in Vermont throughout his childhood. He attended the Westminster School in Connecticut for grades 9 through 12. After college he moved to Florida, where he wrote his first book. He currently lives in Virginia.

Career
Du Brul's novels focus on his character, Dr. Philip Mercer, a successful mining engineer and geologist, who gets involved in various threats to the world. He has written eight Phillip Mercer books in the series, beginning with Vulcan's Forge.

Later, Du Brul co-authored the Oregon Files novels with Clive Cussler, taking over from Craig Dirgo with the third novel. The latest novel, Mirage, was a New York Times bestseller and his last novel in the series. But more recently took on co-authoring the Isaac Bell novels with The Titanic Secret, the 11th.

Ethnos360

Ethnos360, formerly known as New Tribes Mission (NTM), is an international, theologically evangelical Christian mission organization based in Sanford, Florida, United States. Ethnos360 has approximately 2,300 missionaries in more than 20 nations.

Ethnos360 sends missionaries from local churches around the world to Latin America, West Africa, Southeast Asia and the Arctic. Countries include Brazil, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Colombia, Greenland, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mexico, Mozambique, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Philippines, Senegal, Tanzania, Thailand and formerly Venezuela. New Tribes Mission is also a member of the Forum of Bible Agencies International.

Focus and beliefs
The mission's focus is on groups where no translation of the Bible exists. When such a group is identified, Ethnos360 first attempts to make contact and establish a relationship. Then, missionaries are sent to learn the language and the culture of the native people, while further developing relationships and providing humanitarian aid. The missionaries translate biblical literature into the indigenous language, as well as teach natives how to read and write in their own language. The professed goal, however, is to establish fully functioning churches that operate independently of missionaries, which "in turn reach out to their own people and to neighboring tribes".

The core belief of Ethnos360 is "sola scriptura", accompanied by a historical-grammatical hermeneutic in interpreting the scriptures. This emphasis on "word by word inspiration" leads to literal belief "in the fall of man resulting in his complete and universal separation from God and his need of salvation". Those who die unsaved go to "unending punishment" (hence the mandate to evangelize those without access to the gospel). Additionally, Ethnos360 is a classically dispensational organization, subscribing to the "imminent... pretribulation and pre-millennial return" of Jesus Christ to earth.

Founding
NTM was founded by Paul Fleming, from Los Angeles, in 1942. In the 1930s Fleming had worked as a missionary in the British colony of Malaya. Initially, NTM was based in a former nightclub in Chicago.

In 1943 NTM started publishing its magazine Brown Gold. In 1944/45, NTM moved headquarters to Chico, California. Shortly thereafter it established a "boot camp" (missionary training facility) at Fouts Springs, California.

Early activity expansion and associated personnel deaths
The organization sent out its first group in November 1942 to Bolivia. On January 12, 1944, the startling news came back that five of the men were missing. These five men had been killed, however the facts were not revealed until years later. New Tribes first five missionaries were killed by the Ayoreo Indians in Bolivia. According to Time magazine, five NTM missionaries were killed by aboriginal Bolivians in 1943.

In June 1950 the first plane bought by NTM crashed in Venezuela, killing all 15 people on board. The second plane bought by NTM crashed in November the same year at Mount Moran in Grand Teton National Park while on its way to bring missionaries abroad, killing all 21 aboard, including spouses, several children and founder Paul Fleming.

In July 1953, 14 NTM members serving as volunteer firefighters died in what became known as the Rattlesnake Fire about 25 mi north of Fouts Springs, California in the Mendocino National Forest.

Personnel deaths by guerrillas in Colombia and the Philippines
In the late 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, a number of New Tribes Mission personnel have been killed by guerrillas in different parts of the world.

 * In 1993 members of the FARC guerrilla movement abducted three New Tribes Mission missionaries from a village in Panama and brought them to Colombia where they were killed in 1996.
 * In 1994 two other missionaries were killed after being taken at gunpoint from an NTM school in Colombia.
 * In May 2001 Abu Sayyaf rebels in the Philippines kidnapped a NTM pilot, Martin Burnham, and his wife, Gracia, as they celebrated a wedding anniversary. In June 2002, during a rescue attempt by government troops, Martin Burnham was killed and Gracia Burnham received non-fatal gunshot wounds to the leg.

Training program
Ethnos360 requires all candidates to complete a training program. The training program can take up to four years to complete. In the US, this training culminates in an unaccredited bachelor's degree. Major Bible colleges such as Moody Bible Institute and Columbia International University recognize credits and degrees from Ethnos360.

The first phase of the training consists of basic Bible education. This phase lasts two years. In the US, this training takes place at the Ethnos360 Bible Institute, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, formerly called New Tribes Bible Institute. This portion of the training program is often waived for candidates possessing previous Bible training from accredited Bible colleges.

The second phase of the program involves extensive study in cross-cultural communication, church planting, and linguistic analysis. It also lasts two years as candidates study advanced linguistic techniques, learning how to alphabetize unwritten languages and translate the Bible. Formerly called "Boot Camp" this phase also emphasizes basic living skills necessary for survival in undeveloped areas of the world (e.g. constructing and cooking from clay stoves, building jungle shelters, etc.). In the US, this takes place at the Ethnos360 Missionary Training Center in Camdenton, Missouri.

An NTM Canadian training center exists in Durham, Ontario. Similar training programs exist in other countries, including Brazil, Germany, Mexico and United Kingdom.

Aviation program
Ethnos360 operates an aviation program known as Ethnos360 Aviation, with the purpose of reaching more rural areas. Pilots are trained at a facility in McNeal, Arizona. It is required that they have at least 300 hours of pilot-in-command (PIC) experience, a commercial pilot certificate, and mechanic certification. Ethnos360 Aviation also flies and operates in the United States, Brazil, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and the Asia Pacific region. Fixed-wing aircraft, such as the Quest Kodiak, and helicopters, like the Robinson R66, are flown. In January 2020, Ethnos360 raised $2 million to purchase a Robinson R66 helicopter for use in Brazil.

Evangelistic approach
New Tribes Mission's strategy for "church planting" starts with language acquisition. NTM believes that individuals should have access to the Bible and its teachings in their native languages and refuses to teach in English or local trade languages. Several unwritten languages on the verge of extinction have been given new leases of life, because of missionary efforts to reduce them to writing and to teach their speakers in literacy.

After becoming proficient in the local languages, NTM missionaries initiate in-depth Bible studies with interested parties. Rather than distributing tracts or showing the "Jesus" film (popular methods among many organizations), NTM focuses on teaching through the Scriptures chronologically. Missionaries begin with the Genesis account of creation and follow the storyline of the Bible through to the story of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the New Testament. This approach is necessary because most of the cultures in which they work have no exposure to any biblical teaching whatsoever, and therefore require solid grounding on the foundational principles of the Old Testament before they can be introduced to the New Testament Gospel.

This chronological curriculum consists of 50 lessons and is called "Building on Firm Foundations". It was written by Trevor McIlwain and Nancy Everson and originally published in 1985.

Recognition
Ethnos360 is listed by Ministry Watch on the Shining Lights 'Top 30' Exemplary Ministries. MinistryWatch.com, in response to requests for a list of Christian ministries that are among the best to which donors can give with confidence, has released a "Top 30" list of ministries as the latest MinistryWatch.com Shining Light profile. Ethnos360 is one of those Top 30 Shining Lights.

Criticism of cultural change
Critics contend that the New Tribes Mission and other evangelist groups "hunt down primitive Indians and destroy their culture in the name of converting them to Christianity". Paul Gifford, Professor of Religion at the University of London, accused NTM of changing indigenous cultures and representing US foreign policy interests in countries where they were active. Due to such claims, in 1989, NTM was investigated, and subsequently cleared, of any wrongdoing by the all-party Parliamentary Human Rights Committee in Britain. However, a letter of protest signed by Bishop Trevor Huddleston, Lord Avebury, Chairman of the Parliamentary Human Rights Group; Rabbi Richard Rosen; and Survival International President Robin Hanbury-Tenison, called on the Mission to halt its controversial activities and respect tribal religion and culture. According to Stephen Corry, Director of Survival International, some missionaries do an enormous amount of work to help indigenous peoples and defend their rights, while others do great harm. He says he is not anti-missionary and that he himself and his organization have worked together with countless missionaries. He recalls how a senior member of a very large mission organisation personally told him that their critiques published in the 1970s had stimulated change for the better within his organisation.

Deaths of members of the Ayoreo Totobiegosode tribe
In 1986, indigenous Paraguayans of the Ayoreo Totobiegosode tribe were allegedly forced into trucks by another tribal group, driven to a camp set up by NTM, and subsequently endured years of unpaid servitude, leading to numerous deaths from diseases introduced by the missionaries. In 1987, the director of the mission, Fred Sammons, responded to these allegations, claiming that "The Indians live in fear, in fear of evil spirits and in fear of violent death because it's in their culture to kill. But when they come with us, they accept a new way of life... We never force our religion on anyone." Sammons also wrote "There are people who like to say that the Ayoreos are happy living in the jungle... Yet if you ask anyone who has had a taste of civilization if he wants to go back and live like he used to, the answer is always a very positive 'No'." Former Paraguayan minister of culture Ticio Escobar, claimed that Ayoreos who were brought out of their isolation exhibited "all of the side effects of losing one's cultural identity: alcoholism, social disorganisation, apathy, violence, suicide, prostitution, and marginalization".

Nukak de-isolation
In 1981, in what is now the Río Puré National Park in Colombia, NTM missionaries interacted with the previously uncontacted Nukak people. Gift-giving led the Nukak to seek contact with settlers nearby. Combined with encroachment from guerrilla groups and coca growers, these later interactions with the outside world resulted in cultural instability and disease. Many members of the tribe now receive government subsidies in San José del Guaviare.

Political controversy in Venezuela
In October 2005, the BBC reported that Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez had announced his intention to expel New Tribes Mission from Venezuela. He accused NTM of imperialism, collaboration with the CIA, violation of Venezuela's national sovereignty, and illegally flying into and out of the country. He also attacked the group for living in lavish encampments they had constructed next to poverty-stricken villages.

Responding to the allegations, NTM said, "Any kind of air travel we do, we always do within the guidelines of what the government allows. We always file reports." With respect to "luxury" living, they "live in homes that make it possible for them to continue the work that they do. The homes that they live in are very simple."

On November 3, 2005, hundreds of Venezuelan indigenous people marched in Puerto Ayacucho protesting against the expulsion of NTM by the Venezuelan government. Although the Venezuelan constitution recognized their collective ownership of ancestral lands in 1999, "poverty remains acute among many Indian communities and many protesters said the missionaries were the only people who have tangibly improved their lives."

Sexual abuse
A 2010 report by G.R.A.C.E.(Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment), an organization dedicated to helping Christian organizations deal with abuse, documented reports of sexual, physical, emotional abuse at the Fanda boarding school operated by NTM for the children of NTM workers in the country of Senegal during the 1980s and 1990s.

David Brooks, a dorm parent at the Fanda Boarding School (Senegal) in the mid-1980s, sexually molested multiple girls, including Kari Mikitson and Bonnie Cheshire. He was identified as the school's most prolific perpetrator of sexual abuse, preying on one girl alone more than 50 times. Kari and Bonnie started, in 2009, a blog with the mission to create a network for abuse survivors and pressure New Tribes into addressing the allegations. On the blog, many people who had attended New Tribes boarding schools around the world detailed their own stories of sexual abuse, including reports from additional countries. As more stories emerged, New Tribes Mission requested Mikitson to come to its headquarters in Sanford, Florida, for a face-to-face meeting with board members. Kari requested a G.R.A.C.E. investigation. The report identified seven alleged perpetrators by name and outlined the acts the perpetrators carried out. Additionally, the report mentioned David Brooks telling the abused, "He told these children not to tell, because bad things would happen and no one would believe them." According to 1992 New Tribe field committee notes obtained by the Grace investigators, the group did have a policy on child sexual abuse that expressly stated allegations should not be reported to police and outlined guidelines for different kinds of acts:

"If it is a homosexual act with a child, the person will be dismissed immediately and may never be considered for membership in the mission again. If it is a heterosexual act the person will be dismissed immediately but could be considered for ministry again in the future depending on the case. If it occurs in the field, it is not necessary to report it to the Senegalese or U.S. authorities. It must be investigated as not doing so could be ruinous for the mission."

However even if New Tribes Mission were to report the perpetrators, there was little that law enforcement could do. It was not until Congress passed the Protect Act in 2003 that the U.S. government could prosecute Americans for sex crimes committed overseas without going through the onerous and often impossible task of proving the suspect had traveled to that country for the purpose of abusing kids.

 * A part-time instructor with New Tribes Mission was charged in 2006 with molesting two boys.
 * A youth pastor faced charges of possessing images of child abuse in 2008.
 * A woman sued New Tribes in 2011, alleging that she had been raped by a worker associated with the group.
 * A missionary was arrested at Orlando International Airport on June 4, 2013. Warren Scott Kennell admitted to molesting four children in Brazil, authorities told WESH-TV, and two images of child abuse were found on his computer. In July 2014, he was sentenced to 58 years in prison for the sexual abuse of several Katukina girls, and for the possession of more than 940 images of child abuse on his hard drive.

Étienne Léopold Trouvelot

Étienne Léopold Trouvelot (December 26, 1827 – April 22, 1895) was a French artist, astronomer and amateur entomologist. He is noted for the import and release of the spongy moth into North America. The spread of the moths as an invasive species has resulted in the destruction of millions of hardwood trees throughout the eastern United States.

Biography
Trouvelot was born at Aisne, France. During his early years he was apparently involved in politics and had republican leanings. Following a coup d'état by Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte in 1851, he fled with his family to the United States. They settled in the town of Medford, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, at the address of 27 Myrtle St. There he supported himself and his family as an artist and astronomer.

Trouvelot had an interest as an amateur entomologist. In the U.S., silk-producing moths were being killed off by various diseases. Trouvelot was very interested in Lepidoptera larvae including native North American silk moths which he believed could potentially be used for silk production. For reasons that remain unknown, Trouvelot brought some spongy moth egg masses from Europe in the mid-1860s and was raising spongy moth larvae in the forest behind his house. Unfortunately, some of the larvae escaped into the nearby woods. There are conflicting reports on the resulting actions. One states that despite issuing oral and written warnings of possible consequences, no officials were willing to assist in searching out and destroying the moths. The other notes that he was aware of the risk and there is no direct evidence that he contacted government officials.

Shortly following this incident, Trouvelot lost interest in entomology and turned again to astronomy. In this field he could put his skills as an artist to good use by illustrating his observations. His interest in astronomy was apparently aroused in 1870 when he witnessed several auroras.

When Joseph Winlock, the director of Harvard College Observatory, saw the quality of his illustrations, he invited Trouvelot to join the staff there in 1872. In 1875, he was invited to use the U. S. Naval Observatory to use the 26-inch refractor for a year. During the course of his life he produced about 7,000 quality astronomical illustrations. Fifteen of his most superb pastel illustrations were published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1881. He was particularly interested in the Sun, and discovered "veiled spots" in 1875. He was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1877.

Besides his illustrations, he published about 50 scientific papers.

By 1882, Trouvelot had returned to France and joined the Meudon Observatory where he worked with photography and became engaged in a bitter rivalry with his boss, the astronomer Jules Janssen. This was a few years before the magnitude of the problem caused by his spongy moth release became apparent to the local government of Massachusetts. He died in Meudon, France. The spongy moth was considered a serious pest and attempts were underway to eradicate it (ultimately these were unsuccessful). To this date, the spongy moth continues to expand its range in the United States, and together with other foliage-eating pests, cause an estimated $868 million in annual damages.

Awards and honors

 * Valz Prize by the French Academy of Sciences
 * The crater Trouvelot on the Moon is named after him.
 * The crater Trouvelot on Mars is named after him.

Stone Bridge (Rhode Island)

The Stone Bridge was a bascule bridge that carried Rhode Island Route 138 over the Sakonnet River between Portsmouth and Tiverton. The span was built in 1907, replacing an earlier wooden bridge. It was severely damaged by Hurricane Carol in 1954, and replaced in 1956 by the Sakonnet River Bridge.

History
A ferry between Portsmouth and Tiverton – probably the first regular ferry in Rhode Island – began operating in 1640. It was variously known as Howland's Ferry (after the family that ran it from around 1703 to 1776), Pocasset Ferry, Sanford's Ferry and Wanton's Ferry. A privately-owned wooden toll bridge was built in 1795. After it was destroyed several times by storms, a stone causeway with a wooden draw span was built in 1810. The towns of Tiverton and Portsmouth purchased the bridge in 1871 and conveyed it to the state.

The Newport Street Railway opened in 1898 between Newport and Fall River, Massachusetts. The heavy streetcars necessitated replacement of the wooden draw span. A double-leaf steel rolling lift bridge opened in 1907.

The bridge was severely damaged by Hurricane Carol in 1954, and replaced in 1956 by the Sakonnet River Bridge, which was under construction at the time of the hurricane, located 0.8 miles to the north. The span was closed to marine traffic after the hurricane. After inspection, it was decided to close the bridge to bus and truck traffic on January 13, 1955. It was then closed to all vehicles on January 18, 1955. Pedestrians were allowed to walk across. Repairs were made and the bridge reopened to all traffic on March 3, 1955. It remained in service until the opening of the Sakonnet River Bridge in 1956.

The remaining approaches serve as breakwaters and fishing piers.

Krishak Sramik Janata League

The Krishak Sramik Janata League (কৃষক শ্রমিক জনতা লীগ) is a political party in Bangladesh formed by Bangabir Kader Siddiqui, a renowned war hero who led the Kaderia Bahini during the Bangladesh's Liberation War of 1971, after he left Awami League in 1999. Although, the party adopted the Mujibist ideology, which is the ideology of Awami League, the party of Sheikh Mujib. The district of Tangail, which was headquarters of the Kaderia Bahini, is known as the "stronghold" of the party.

Most of the members of the party are Mujibists and ideologized by the Bangladesh Liberation War. The general secretary of the party is Habibur Rahman Talukdar, who got the Bir Protik award for his contributions in the liberation war. Kader Siddique is still the president of the party.
