William Hawrelak

William Hawrelak (October 4, 1915 – November 7, 1975) was a politician in Alberta, Canada, the longest-serving mayor in Edmonton's history, and a candidate for election to the House of Commons of Canada.

Early life
Hawrelak was born in Wasel, Alberta to Ukrainian immigrants Wasel/William and Anastasia Hawrelak (the family's ancestral name was Гавриляк (Havryliak)). (Wasel was named after William's father.) He married Pearl Shandro (daughter of Alberta MLA Andrew Shandro, after whom Hawrelak's home district was named) the pair had three daughters.

In 1945, Hawrelak moved to Edmonton and purchased the Prairie Rose Manufacturing Co., which made soft drinks. He served as president of the Alberta Farmer's Union and of the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues before entering politics.

Early career in municipal politics
Hawrelak's first attempt at political office took place in the 1948 municipal election, in which he ran for Edmonton City Council and was defeated, finishing seventh of twelve candidates for alderman. He was more successful in the next election, winning the last available aldermanic position by finishing sixth of nine candidates after being backed by the Citizens' Committee, a municipal political party dominated by English Canadian businessmen.

In 1951, he took over as mayor on an interim basis when Sidney Parsons had to leave the position for health reasons. In that year's election, he won the position more permanently by winning more than sixty-five percent of the vote and defeating the returned Parsons and one other candidate.

First stint as mayor
Hawrelak initially saw considerable political success: his re-election bids in the 1953 and 1955 elections were unopposed, and in the 1957 election he easily dispatched his two challengers, both former aldermen, winning more than sixty-five percent of the vote.

Hawrelak presided over a time of prosperity resulting, in part, from the discovery of oil near Edmonton in 1947. The city was able to provide a variety of new facilities, including a main branch for the Edmonton Public Library, a new city hall, the Riverside Golf Course, the Valley Zoo, Fort Edmonton Park, the Groat Bridge, the Royal Alexandra Hospital, the Queen Elizabeth Planetarium, Borden Park, Coronation Park, Mayfair Park, and the Edmonton portion of the Yellowhead Trail (Highway 16).

In 1958, Ed Leger - who later joined the city council as the longest-serving alderman in Edmonton's history (1959–1986, except for a two year period after an unsuccessful run for mayor in 1961), later surpassed by Ron Hayter - presented a petition to city council that called for an investigation into the city administration. Leger alleged that Hawrelak had used his position to financially benefit himself, his family, and his associates.

An ensuing inquiry by Justice Marshall Porter found Hawrelak guilty of "gross misconduct" - including, in some cases, attempts to influence rezoning of land he owned - in six different land transactions. Hawrelak resigned September 9, 1959, but continued to deny any wrongdoing.

Return to office and second stint
The city sued Hawrelak, and he ultimately paid $100,000 plus $4,000 in legal fees to settle the lawsuit; this settlement also made him eligible to again seek elected municipal office, which he did in the 1963 election. In an election that has been called the dirtiest in Edmonton's history, he narrowly defeated alderman Stanley A. Milner. His victory was marred by a riot that erupted when a group of students marching to city hall to protest Hawrelak's re-election victory were met by a mob loyal to the mayor, leading the Edmonton Journal - which was regularly critical of Hawrelak - to speculate that the mob was organized by the same people who "toured meetings during the recent election campaign with the sole purpose of preventing anti-Hawrelak candidates from speaking".

Hawrelak was re-elected in the 1964 election, defeating incumbent alderman and former Member of Parliament George Prudham, but his second stint as mayor also ended prematurely: on March 11, 1965, Chief Justice C.C. McLaurin of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta disqualified Hawrelak from his position after ruling that he had violated the City Act through his involvement with Sun Alta Builder's Ltd., of which he owned forty percent and which had bought land from the city while he was in office. Again Hawrelak denied wrongdoing, and appealed the decision up to the Supreme Court of Canada, which upheld it (he did win a partial victory in March 1975 when the same court reversed a ruling of a lower court that ordered that he return $80,117 in profits from the dealings to the city; the Supreme Court of Canada found that there were no profits to be returned).

Out of office and federal politics

Hawrelak ran for mayor in the 1966 election, but was defeated by Vincent Dantzer, the man city council had chosen to replace him as mayor. This was the only mayoral defeat Hawrelak suffered in his career. After this defeat, he declared himself done with city politics. He turned his attention instead to the federal scene.

In the 1957 federal election, Hawrelak, still mayor and before his political troubles had started, had run as the Liberal Party of Canada candidate in Edmonton East. He had come within three hundred votes of unseating incumbent Social Credit Party of Canada MP Ambrose Holowach, but had not hitherto made any subsequent bids for federal election. This changed with the 1968 federal election. Hawrelak ran in Edmonton Centre. Denied the Liberal nomination, he ran instead as an "Independent Liberal". He finished third, behind Progressive Conservative Steve Paproski and official Liberal Donald Gray. He may have had some impact after all, however: the gap between the Conservative Paproski and the Liberal Gray was fewer than two hundred votes, while the independent Liberal Hawrelak won more than seven thousand.

Third stint and death
Reversing himself, Hawrelak ran for mayor again in the 1974 election against incumbent Ivor Dent, future mayor Cec Purves, alderman David Ward, and three other candidates. Even in this crowded field, Hawrelak won more than forty-nine percent of the vote in his return to office. His last term was marked by a similar style of governance to his previous terms: he was accused of stacking city boards and commissions with his friends, he appointed a disbarred lawyer as his executive assistant, and allowed property taxes into his holdings to fall in arrears (which he characterized as an oversight). However, he also faced new opposition: the council on which he served included a number of urban reformers as well as his old nemesis, alderman Ed Leger. Hawrelak couldn't maintain the tight control to which he was accustomed.

Thirteen months after his election, on November 7, 1975, William Hawrelak died of a heart attack. More than ten thousand people came to pay their respects as his body lay in city council chambers.

Legacy
In 1982, Mayfair Park was renamed William Hawrelak Park, in honour of Hawrelak and a legacy of his time as mayor, which included the period when Mayfair Park was created.

Illinois Route 159

Illinois Route 159 is a north–south state route in southwestern Illinois. Its southern terminus is at Illinois Route 3 and Illinois Route 154 in Red Bud and its northern terminus at Illinois Route 16 in Royal Lakes. This is a distance of 64.90 mi.

Route description
Illinois 159 is a major north–south artery through the eastern portion of the metropolitan St. Louis, Missouri area. Illinois 159 overlaps Illinois Route 143 in Edwardsville.

Widening of a stretch of Illinois 159 to five lanes took place around 2006; the highway is now five lanes from Fairview Heights to Edwardsville, with the exception of downtown Collinsville, where a similar widening project was completed in 2012.

History
SBI Route 159 ran from Red Bud to Alton. In 1964, the Edwardsville to Alton segment was changed to Illinois Route 143, and Illinois 159 was run north through Edwardsville to Royal Lakes, replacing Illinois Route 112. This created an unusual 3 way multiplex in downtown Edwardsville where you went north on 157, south on 159, and east on 143 for 2 blocks. This multiplex was not signed, however. In 2003 Illinois 159 was rerouted through Edwardsville, which eliminated that multiplex.

An Alternate Illinois Route 159 was proposed by Edwardsville on the old Illinois 159 alignment on Troy Road, but was never implemented.

Parlor guitar

Parlor or parlour guitar usually refers to a type of acoustic guitar smaller than a Size No.0 Concert Guitar by C. F. Martin & Company. Mottola's Cyclopedic Dictionary of Lutherie Terms describes the term as referring to "any guitar that is narrower than current standards."

Overview
The popularity of these guitars peaked from the late 19th century until the 1950s. Many blues and folk musicians have used smaller-bodied guitars, which were often more affordable, mass production models.

Parlor guitar has also come to denote a style of American guitar music from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Noted composers include William Foden, Winslow Hayden, William Bateman, Justin Holland, and Wilhelm Bischoff. The music for the guitar includes a variety of dance forms (waltz, schottische, polka), instrumental arrangements of popular songs, guitar arrangements of then popular classical music, operatic arrangements and music from European guitar composers (Sor, Giuliani, Carcassi, Coste and Mertz). In the 1860, Henry Worrall composed two influential pieces for parlor guitar, "The Siege of Sebastopol" (sometimes spelled Sevastopol) and "Spanish Fandango."

MBus (SPARC)

MBus is a computer bus designed and implemented by Sun Microsystems for communication between high speed computer system components, such as the central processing unit, motherboard and main memory. SBus is used in the same machines to connect add-on cards to the motherboard.

MBus was first used in Sun's first multiprocessor SPARC-based system, the SPARCserver 600MP series (launched in 1991), and later found use in the SPARCstation 10 and SPARCstation 20 workstations. The bus permits the integration of several microprocessors on a single motherboard, in a multiprocessing configuration with up to eight CPUs packaged in detachable MBus modules. In practice, the number of processors per MBus is limited to four. Single processor systems were also sold that use the MBus protocol internally, but with the CPUs permanently attached to the motherboard to lower manufacturing costs.

MBus specifies a 64-bit datapath, which uses 36-bit physical addressing, giving an address space of 64 GB. The transfer rate is 80 MB/s sustained (320 MB/s peak) at 40 MHz, or 100 MB/s (400 MB/s peak) at 50 MHz. Bus controlling is done by an arbiter. Interrupt, reset, and timeout logic are also specified.

Related buses
Several related buses were also developed:

XBus
XBus is a packet-switched bus used in the SPARCserver 1000, SPARCcenter 2000 and Cray CS6400. This corresponds to the circuit-switched MBus, with identical electrical characteristics and physical form factor but an incompatible signalling protocol.

KBus
KBus is a high-speed interconnection system for linking multiple MBuses, used in Solbourne Computer Series 6 and Series 7 computer systems.

History
The MBus standard was cooperatively developed by Sun and Ross Technology and released in 1991.

Manufacturers who produced computer systems using the MBus included Sun, Ross Technology, Hyundai/Axil, Fujitsu, Solbourne Computer, Tatung, GCS, Auspex, ITRI, ICL, Cray, Amdahl, Themis, DTK and Kamstrup.

Charles L. Harness

Charles Leonard Harness (December 29, 1915 – September 20, 2005) was an American science fiction writer.

Biography
He was born in Colorado City, Texas, and grew up just outside it, then later in Fort Worth. He earned degrees in chemistry and law from George Washington University and worked as a patent attorney in Connecticut and Washington, D.C., from 1947 to 1981. Several of Harness' works draw on his background as a lawyer.

Harness died in 2005, at the age of 89, in North Newton, Kansas.

Writing career
Harness' first story, "Time Trap" (1948), shows many of his recurring themes, among them art, time travel, and a hero undergoing a quasi-transcendental experience.

His first novel was his most famous, Flight into Yesterday. It was first published as a novella in the May 1949 issue of Startling Stories (pp. 9–79), was expanded as a full-length novel (Bouregy & Curl, 1953), and was renamed Paradox Men by Donald Wollheim for reprint as the first half of Ace Double #D-118 in 1955. Much later Harness thanked Wollheim for the title that "turned out to be irresistible". The "science-fiction classic" is both "a tale dominated by space-opera extravagances" and "a severely articulate narrative analysis of the implications of Arnold J. Toynbee's A Study of History." Boucher and McComas described it as "fine swashbuckling adventure ... so infinitely intricate that you may never quite understand what it's about." P. Schuyler Miller described it as "action-entertainment, fast-paced enough that you don't stop to bother with inconsistencies or improbabilities."

In his introduction in the 1967 Four Square paperback reprint of the novel, Brian Aldiss terms it a major example of the "Widescreen Baroque" style in science fiction, and John Clute terms it "the kind of tale which transforms traditional space opera into an arena where a vast array of characters can act their hearts out, where anything can be said with a wink or dead seriously, and any kind of story be told." In Trillion Year Spree, Aldiss and Wingrove report the novel "plays high, wide, and handsome with space and time, buzzes around the solar system like a demented hornet, [and] is witty, profound, and trivial all in one breath." The Paradox Men features the concept of force fields which protect people against high-velocity weapons like guns but not against knives or swords, an idea later used in Frank Herbert's Dune (1965).

In 1953, Harness also published his most famous single story, "The Rose", which first appeared in the British magazine Authentic Science Fiction, then as the main novella in a UK mass-market paperback collection assembled and introduced by Michael Moorcock. The story did not appear in the United States until 1969.

Other Harness' stories include "An Ornament to his Profession", "The Alchemist" and "Stalemate in Space". His story "The New Reality" has been called "SF's best Adam & Eve story" by Brian Stableford. His novel Redworld is one of the very few science fiction novels in which all characters are aliens.

Harness's ideas influenced numerous writers and he continued to publish until 2001, being nominated for multiple Hugo and Nebula awards. In 2004 he was named Author Emeritus by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.

Santa Cruz River (Arizona)

The Santa Cruz River (Río Santa Cruz "Holy Cross River") is a left tributary of the Gila River in Southern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico. It is approximately 184 mi long.

Course
The Santa Cruz has its headwaters in the high intermontane grasslands of the San Rafael Valley to the southeast of Patagonia, Arizona, between the Canelo Hills to the east and the Patagonia Mountains to the west, just north of the international border. It flows southward into Mexico past Santa Cruz, Sonora and turns westward around the south end of the Sierra San Antonio near Miguel Hidalgo (San Lázaro), thence north-northwest to reenter the United States just to the east of Nogales and southwest of Kino Springs. It then continues northward from the international border past the Tumacacori National Historical Park, Tubac, Green Valley, Sahuarita, San Xavier del Bac, Tucson, Marana, and Picacho Peak State Park to the Santa Cruz Flats just to the south of Casa Grande and the Gila River. Before the development of agriculture in the Santa Cruz Flats, the river's course went right through the flats. As development started, the Greene Canal was formed to divert the Santa Cruz River to the Greene Wash to maximize agriculture in the area. Because of this diversion, the original Santa Cruz River riverbed was destroyed. From the Greene Canal, the Greene Wash empties into the Santa Rosa Wash which empties into the original Santa Cruz River riverbed. This riverbed is followed all the way until it terminates at the Gila River. Between Nogales and Tucson the river valley is flanked by the San Cayetano and Santa Rita Mountains on the east and the Atascosa, Tumacacori, and Sierrita Mountains on the west.

Hydrography
Most of the Santa Cruz River is usually a dry riverbed, unless the area receives significant rainfall. This was not always the case, but a combination of human errors and natural catastrophes in the late nineteenth century led to the decline of the Santa Cruz. Prior to this, water flowed perennially in a number of places, including along nine stretches in the Tucson area, and the river's banks were lined with cottonwood and mesquite bosques. Although there is some disagreement among historians and hydrologists as to what the biggest causes of the river's decline were, contributing human factors included overgrazing, excessive pumping of groundwater for agricultural irrigation and industry, and the construction of dams and ditches. In the mid-20th century, the river's stretch through Tucson dried up completely.

The city of Nogales, Sonora, has been releasing treated sewage into the Santa Cruz River since 1951. This has resulted in the revival of approximately 9 mi of riverbank within and north of the city of Nogales, Arizona.

In recent years, due to water conservation efforts and restoration projects, perennial flows have returned to a few parts of the Santa Cruz River in greater Tucson. In June 2019, the city of Tucson began releasing treated wastewater daily into the Santa Cruz River bed near West Silverlake Road as part of the Santa Cruz River Heritage Project. This has resulted in renewed perennial flow in an approximately 1 mi stretch near downtown Tucson. Further upstream, perennial flows returned to a half-mile stretch of the river through the San Xavier Indian Reservation of the Tohono Oʼodham Nation in 2019 as a result of reduced ground water pumping due to greater availability of water from the Central Arizona Project. This has led to the revival of vegetated riparian zones along the river, including areas of cottonwood shoots and seep-willow. Further downstream at the Roger Road Waste Water Treatment Plant has been releasing treated wastewater, which extends the perennial flow of the river for approximately 46 mi.

Recreation
The Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail parallels much of the Santa Cruz. In Marana, there are approximately ten paved miles of multi-use recreational path along the Santa Cruz, located on Tangerine Road and through the Gladden Farms community park.

This article cited as a source (HuffPost) -SV|t 01:32, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Spartan Intervention
Under Spartan Intervention, it is said there were 700 'marines' employed, with 'marines' linking to Marine Corps, a lemma about modern marine corps. Can someone explain to me what these Spartan 'marines' were?

-Probably Helots, indentured Spartan foot soldiers.

Fleet Size
what reference was used for the size of the fleet in the sicilian expedition? According to plutarch in his parallel lives, he states that they set sail for sicily with "140 galleys, 5,100 men at arms, and about 1300 archers, slingers, and light armed men." currently the article says pretty much the same, but the numbers are a little differentDmcheatw 02:55, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I think I added that, so if I did, I got it from Thucydides (possibly by adding up various numbers). Adam Bishop 03:06, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Alcibiades
There are two instances of the Athenians sending a ship to arrest Alcibiades. The first in the "Athenian Landing" section: "...where an Athenian ship arrived to inform Alcibiades that he was under arrest, not only for the destruction of the hermai, but also for supposedly profaning the Eleusinian Mysteries. Alcibiades agreed to return, but on the way back his ship escaped to the Peloponnese, where he eventually sought refuge in Sparta;"

The second in the "Winter of 415/Spring of 414 BC" section: "Around this time a ship arrived from Athens with the job of summoning Alcibiades back to Athens, where he was to stand trial for the desecration of the Hermae. Though Alcibiades boarded the ship under escort, he jumped ship at the first possible moment and slowly made his way to Sparta."

This is somewhat confusing as the reader sees the same information twice. 131.225.232.49 20:07, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Campaign/Battle template
I think this needs one at the top just for reference, it would include the involved states, commanders, troop numbers and casualties. The troop numbers would be listed as from what they started as from the beginning of the expedition (inline with Thucydides), and will also list that they were reinforced here and there on both sides, and for casualties I will list those given by Thucydides and add them up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.179.240.177 (talk) 09:42, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I have just changed the numbers for the size of the original expedition and its reinforcements to support Thucydides's estimates. For the original expedition Thucydides first says, "After this the Athenians weighed from Corcyra, and proceeded to cross to Sicily with an armament now consisting of one hundred and thirty-four galleys in all (besides two Rhodian fifty-oars), of which one hundred were Athenian vessels--sixty men-of-war, and forty troopships--and the remainder from Chios and the other allies; five thousand and one hundred heavy infantry in all, that is to say, fifteen hundred Athenian citizens from the rolls at Athens and seven hundred Thetes shipped as marines, and the rest allied troops, some of them Athenian subjects, and besides these five hundred Argives, and two hundred and fifty Mantineans serving for hire; four hundred and eighty archers in all, eighty of whom were Cretans, seven hundred slingers from Rhodes, one hundred and twenty light-armed exiles from Megara, and one horse-transport carrying thirty horses." Then for the reinforcements he says, "In the meantime, while the Syracusans were preparing for a second attack upon both elements, Demosthenes and Eurymedon arrived with the succours from Athens, consisting of about seventy-three ships, including the foreigners; nearly five thousand heavy infantry, Athenian and allied; a large number of darters, Hellenic and barbarian, and slingers and archers and everything else upon a corresponding scale." (123Boomer (talk) 17:36, 1 January 2010 (UTC))

Work underway
I'm doing some section-by-section rewriting of this over in my sandbox. I'm aiming towards a total rewrite of the article, but I'll be working one section at a time and incorporating new sections into this version as soon as they're ready. --RobthTalk 17:11, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Corinthian commander?
The article names the commander of the Corinthian naval contingent as Erasinides, providing no source for this. However, in A War Like No Other, Victor Davis Hanson states the Corinthian commander was Gongylus. ("The Athenians let a Corinthian naval squadron under the Corinthian admiral Gongylus sail into the harbor at Syracuse." pg 213) Is there any source for the Erasinides claim? If not, it seems to me that Gongylus should be credited with leading the Corinthian fleet. SpudHawg948 (talk) 21:53, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Nicias and Demosthenes
Shouldn't it be noted, that they were executed and not just captured? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Melaneas (talk • contribs) 09:49, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I've added that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Uncle of History (talk • contribs) 22:51, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Nicias/Nikias
I haven't done an extensive survey, but my impression is that Nikias is the standard spelling in most modern texts. The Latin form Nicias seems rather old fashioned now. Was there some reason it was chosen for use here? The Uncle of History (talk) 22:54, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Update: looking at some more books it seems that Nicias is more common, though Nikias is also found in some standard books. The Uncle of History (talk) 13:57, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Alamo Scouts

The Alamo Scouts (U.S. 6th Army Special Reconnaissance Unit) was a reconnaissance unit of the Sixth United States Army in the Pacific Theater of Operations during World War II. The unit is best known for its role in liberating American prisoners of war (POWs) from the Japanese Cabanatuan POW camp near Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija, Philippines in January 1945.

Origins
The Scouts were organized on Fergusson Island, New Guinea, on 28 November 1943. Their purpose was to conduct reconnaissance and raider work in the Southwest Pacific Theater. The scouts often operated deep behind Japanese lines. They were under the personal command of Lieutenant General Walter Krueger, Commanding General of the U.S. Sixth Army. General Krueger wanted a unit that could provide timely vital intelligence on the enemy's troop numbers, unit types, and locations to the Sixth Army. General Krueger had previously received faulty intelligence reports from other sources outside of Sixth Army.

Krueger sought to create an all volunteer elite unit consisting of small teams which could operate deep behind enemy lines. Their primary mission was to gather intelligence for the Sixth Army. The Alamo Scouts were so-named because Alamo Force was the name given to Krueger's command (and Sixth Army in particular) by General Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Allied Commander of the SouthWest Pacific. (MacArthur deliberately created Alamo Force to give himself direct control of US Army units, as a parallel structure to the official Allied Ground Forces command, under Australian General Sir Thomas Blamey.) In addition, Krueger had personal links to San Antonio, Texas, location of the Alamo Mission and a personal interest in the Battle of the Alamo.

The Alamo Scouts were an ad hoc unit and had no table of organization & equipment (TO&E).

Accomplishments
In the Scouts' two years of operation they were credited with liberating 197 Allied prisoners in New Guinea.

During the New Guinea Campaign, Alamo Scout missions normally lasted from one to three days and were mostly reconnaissance and intelligence gathering in nature, but as the Allies advanced into the Philippines the unit's mission expanded dramatically, with some missions lasting two months or longer. Furthermore, the unit assumed a central role in organizing large-scale guerrilla operations, establishing road watch stations, attempting to locate and capture or kill Japanese flag officers, and performing direct action missions, such as the Cabanatuan POW Camp liberation. In January 1945 the scouts were teamed with elements of the 6th Ranger Battalion and Filipino guerrilla units to liberate 513 POWs in a daring night attack. The scouts provided reconnaissance and tactical support for the 6th Ranger Battalion during the raid of the Cabanatuan Prison Camp. The Scouts performed advance reconnaissance of the POW camp prior to the 6th Rangers' Raid on the camp. Prior to the raid, two of the scouts dressed themselves as local Filipino rice farm workers. These two scouts then set up a covert observation post inside a shack in the rice fields that surrounded the POW camp. This hidden observation post was located within a few hundred yards of Japanese Army guard posts at the camp's fence line. The scouts were never discovered by the Japanese during this reconnaissance. The Scouts were credited with the capture of 84 Japanese prisoners of war, and only two Scouts were wounded in the mission.

While not on missions, Alamo Scout teams were assigned as bodyguards for General Krueger and had specific instructions to kill the general if capture was imminent.

Near the end of the war Alamo Scout teams were preparing for the invasion of Japan, where they were slated to conduct pre-invasion reconnaissance of Kyushu as part of Operation Downfall, but the war ended.

The Alamo Scouts performed 110 known missions behind enemy lines, mainly in New Guinea and the Philippines, without losing a single man.

The unit was disbanded at Kyoto, Japan, in November 1945.

Legacy
In 1988, the soldiers of the Alamo Scouts were awarded the Special Forces Tab in recognition for their services in World War II, including them in the lineage of the current United States Army Special Forces.

The Raid at Cabanatuan, carried out by a combined team of Alamo Scouts, Rangers and Filipino guerrillas, has been depicted in feature films. Edward Dmytryk's 1945 film Back to Bataan opens by retelling the story of the raid on the Cabanatuan POW camp, including real life film of the POW survivors. The 2005 John Dahl film The Great Raid, based on the books The Great Raid on Cabanatuan and Ghost Soldiers, focused on the raid.

In 1950, the Philippine Army named their special forces unit the Scout Ranger Regiment in honor of the Alamo Scouts and the US Army Rangers.

Boy Scouts of America
Former Alamo Scout Sergeant Major Kittleson founded the Alamo Scouts, a local Exploring Scouting (Now Venturing) unit, in his hometown area Toeterville, Iowa in 1981, after retiring in 1978 from the military. The organization offers a military style training environment for local youth. It was disbanded in 2021

Troop 253 in East Grand Rapids, Michigan has an Alamo Scouts patrol, named in honor of the original unit. Its patrol motto is "Remember!" and the patrol patch was adapted from the World War II unit logo.

Tucson Gem & Mineral Show

The Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase are gem and mineral shows that take place annually in late January and February at multiple locations across the city of Tucson, Arizona. Most of the shows are open to the public, except for certain trade shows which require registration with a business license.

The key event of the Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase is the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show produced by the Tucson Gem and Mineral Society. This show has been held annually since 1955 and now occupies 181000 sqft of the Tucson Convention Center. Many museums and universities, including the Smithsonian Institution and the Sorbonne, have displayed at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.

The first Tucson Gem and Mineral Show was held in an elementary school in 1955 and shortly thereafter moved to a Quonset hut at the Tucson Fair Grounds. In 1973, it moved into the Tucson Community Center, first occupying the North Exhibit Hall, then expanding into the Arena and upper Arena concourse. After the completion of the new facility in 1990, which is now called the Tucson Convention Center, the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show now occupies the Arena, Exhibition Halls A-B-C, Galleria and Ballrooms. Katherine Rambo estimates that between 1996 and 2010 there was an average of about thirteen hundred total dealers from forty-nine states and thirty-two countries in attendance, annually. The 2021 show was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase is one of the single highest revenue-producing events for the Tucson economy. The estimated economic impact in 2019 was $131.4 million,according to Jane Roxbury, director of gem show services for Visit Tucson.

The 2021 showcase was pushed back from the typical dates to April due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While some of the shows were present, the main show at the Tucson Convention Center and some of the other shows were cancelled.

Wang Guowei

Wang Guowei (2 December 1877 – 2 June 1927) or Wang Kuo-wei, courtesy name Jing'an (靜安) or Boyu (伯隅), was a Chinese historian and poet. A versatile scholar, he made important contributions to the studies of ancient history, epigraphy, philology, vernacular literature and literary theory.

Biography
A native of Haining, Zhejiang, he went to Shanghai to work as a proofreader for a newspaper, after failing to pass the Imperial Examination in his hometown, at the age of 22. There he studied in the Dongwen Xueshe (東文學社), a Japanese language teaching school, and became a protégé of Luo Zhenyu. Sponsored by Luo, he left for Japan in 1901, studying natural sciences in Tokyo. Back in China one year later, he began to teach in different colleges, and devoted himself to the study of German idealism. He fled to Japan with Luo when the Xinhai Revolution took place in 1911. He returned to China in 1916, but remained loyal to the overthrown Manchu emperor. In 1924, he was appointed professor by the Tsinghua University, where he was known as one of the "Four Great Tutors," along with the prominent Chinese scholars Liang Qichao, Chen Yinke, and Y. R. Chao.

In 1927, Wang drowned himself in Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace before the National Revolutionary Army entered Beijing during the Northern Expedition.

Chen Yinque's epitaph read: "The suicide of Wang was because he worried about losing the independent spirit and free thought he long cherished in his academic pursuit."

Legacy
Wang focused on the studies of Chinese vernacular literature during the early year of his career. When he became convinced that Schopenhauer's metaphysics were not believable, he turned for solace to critical and philological studies of the novel Dream of the Red Chamber, as well as writing a concise history of the theaters of the Song and Yuan dynasties. Although its conclusions are controversial, his article "On A Dream of the Red Chamber" has been called "a monumental development in the history of modern Chinese criticism." Later he changed his academic direction, focusing on philology and ancient history. His works on ancient history and philology are collected in Guantang Jilin (觀堂集林). In these areas, Wang is remembered for his contributions to the study of oracle bone script and the history of the Shang dynasty. In 1917, Wang published a scholarly article entitled Study of the Ancestral Kings and Nobility Appearing in the Yin Oracular Inscriptions (《殷卜辭中所見先公先王考》) in which Wang identified 31 kings and ancestors of the Shang royal lineage as the recipients of sacrifices that were recorded in the Yinxu oracle bone inscriptions. Wang was able to basically confirm the king list compiled by Sima Qian over a millennium later in the "Basic Annals of Yin" of the Records of the Grand Historian (《史記·殷本紀》) while making several corrections to it.

Talk:Soviet democracy

Poor sourcing
Anything sourced to www.marxists.org or similar websites should be removed from this article. My very best wishes (talk) 15:48, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment (courtesy ): This article is in horrible shape from top to bottom, sourcing, bias, OR, conflation, and lack of focus. WP:TNT is an option, but probably needs an RfC to clarify consensus. Some are trying to turn this into an academic article lay readers will not understand, others are trying to turn it into a propaganda piece lay readers will be mislead by. One thing is certain, readers are not going come here expecting theory or philosophy, they are going to come here looking for an article about an aspect of government in the Soviet Union. There are two articles here that are fighting with each other, one Democracy in the Soviet Union, the other Democracy in Council Communism  // Timothy ::  talk  21:45, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Proposal
For sources I propose that the participants in the split/rewrite agree that:
 * 1) Create two new articles: Democracy in the Soviet Union and Democracy in Council Communism (or whatever names seem best).
 * 2) Turn this article title into a DAB that briefly differentiates each.
 * Primary sources are not used, except sparingly in quotes to support secodary sources. When primary sources are used, those with academic English language sources are preferred when possible, otherwise the original language version should be used. This will help with OR/SYNTH.
 * Secondary sources should be from mainstream peer reviewed academic journals and books published by academic presses, preferably post World War II unless an earlier source is more beneficial, and independent of the subject. This will help with IS RS.
 * Create an article Bibliography of Communism containing English language books and journal articles where the criteria for inclusion is specifically that the items are post World War II mainstream IS RS based on the above. I think this will be a valuable resource for editors in other articles. It can include a selection of important primary sources. I already have been working on this off wiki already.
 * Obviously the above would be simply a gentleperson's agreement and could be waived in special circumstances based on consensus.

 * The goal would be two feature articles and one featured list.
 * A moderator to resolve disputes would be helpful and keep everyone at their best, I think would be a good choice.
 * There are plenty of reasons why this may not work, but there are a lot of reasons why it could. I'm completely open to suggestions on alternatives.

 // Timothy ::  talk  21:45, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree that the page is actually misleading and do not object to any significant reworking, even such splitting with renaming. I also agree that readers are going to come here looking for an article about an aspect of government in the Soviet Union. Speaking of which, as Robert Conquest said, this government represented "a set of phantom institutions and arrangements which put a human face on the hideous realities: a model constitution adopted in a worst period of terror and guaranteeing human rights, elections in which there was only one candidate, and in which 99 percent voted; a parliament at which no hand was ever raised in opposition or abstention." This is probably one of the most precise summaries I have seen. My very best wishes (talk) 02:12, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm going to oppose this proposal on the grounds that separating the theory of a workers democracy from the history of how that system was implemented makes no sense. There are already way too many overlapping articles about workers' councils and soviets and the ideas surrounding them. The proposed *democracy in council communism* would have to include historical information about the Soviet Union anyway, due to the power that workers' councils had in the Russian revolution. Both articles would have no real scope. Flameoguy (talk) 01:33, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

 * , I understand that you really like Conquest but he is not the be-all and end-all. In addition, the work you mentioned is not really about Soviet democracy but how evil the French Revolution, Khmer Rouge, communism, fascism, Bolshevism and Nazism really are/were. We need academic books and peer-reviewed articles whose main topic is soviet democracy. We need much more than just a quote or a passing mention in a book, whose main topic is not really this one. Davide King (talk) 02:30, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh no, this is an academic book by probably the most famous historian of the Soviet Union. Are you saying you disagree with his summary? My very best wishes (talk) 02:38, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Here is another book. It tells the same, just uses more simple language. It tells the first genuine democratization (not even a democracy) in the USSR had happen under Gorbachev. My very best wishes (talk) 03:05, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * That one would also be great, but the content is mostly inaccessible. My very best wishes (talk) 03:07, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I do not disagree but we need books and peer-reviewed journals whose main topic is soviet democracy. What is the expertness of Bullock and Coleman? I get results from a Dr. Bullock and from the football player Coleman. The first one would be better served at Soviet Empire since that is the main topic while the other can be used here. Google Scholar can help us find books specifically about Soviet democracy. Apparently, Arendt advocated council democracy (see "Hannah Arendt's Argument for Council Democracy" and "Hannah Arendt's Argument for Council Democracy" in Hannah Arendt: Critical Essays), so we must clearly distinguish between the two. Davide King (talk) 04:07, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * , these are very good proposal and very fair solutions, thank you. Other possible names could be Council democracy (the theory) and Soviet democracy (as practised in the Soviet Union), which the current article seems to conflate or treat as the same thing. Other solutions could be Soviet democracy (the theory) and Soviet democracy (form of government) or Soviet democracy (political system) (as practised in the Soviet Union), or even Democracy in the Soviet Union, where we discuss the form of goverment/political system and its democratic lack thereof. Davide King (talk) 02:23, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Note also that we have page People's democracy (Marxism–Leninism). But the page is incorrect saying this is only a theoretical concept. Actually, the term was applied to Soviet satellite states in Eastern Europe . My very best wishes (talk) 03:15, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * We have also page Demokratizatsiya (Soviet Union). Basically, there was no any democracy in the USSR in the normal sense, i.e. as a form of government in which the people have the authority to choose their government and legislators. This started happening only during the end of perestroika. My very best wishes (talk) 03:39, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Reponse: I think these are positive responses, so I will go ahead and tag the page for a split and point to this discussion.
 * I am going to publish a Bibliography of Communism article with a limited number of entries and we can propose additions on the talk page, as well as discuss the lead and format. The more sources we can bring to the table for agreement on, the less fuss about IS RS will happen down the road. Since the Bibliography will be built from an open group discussion/consensus, it will be a resource for the community and especially AN/RS. Some authors we may just be able to add in as a whole, such as Conquest and Fitzpatrick, same with some journals. I think we all agree Oxford journals would be an IS RS.
 * I think should facilitate the rewriting of an article on Democracy in Council Communism or (some form of this name). Personally I would avoid the word Soviet in the title (it can be explained and included in the article) for clarity per WP:NAMINGCRITERIA, but I will defer to you and others.
 * I think should facilitate the rewriting of an article on Democracy in the Soviet Union (or some form of that name, but making it clear that it is about the Soviet Union per WP:NAMINGCRITERIA). Democracy during the Russian Revolution would be a good companion.
 * I think Demokratizatsiya (Soviet Union) /should be /will be an important part of Democracy in the Soviet Union and will become redundant and should be redirected at the right time. I don't think any of the content is worth saving, it too OR/SYNTH, reads like a baseball game pregame and play by play, and isunsourced, the Democracy in the Soviet Union will be much better.
 * I think People's democracy (Marxism–Leninism) can wait but should eventually be deleted. The AT is very disputable. On a historical level, it combines too much, obsures important individual detail. On a theory level it is just a partially written mess. I think we should have an articles for each nation and about the theory, maybe People's democracy (communism) and Government of the Polish People's Republic (etc). Our experience with this article and the Bibliography we develop will help with this.
 * Thanks again for the positive feedback, please give more. I don't want to seem like I'm controling the conversation, just want to facilitate it, so stop/slow/redirect me as you wish. I look forward to your replies. I geninuely hope we get 3 FA/L articles, maybe more.  // Timothy ::  talk  04:29, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, I would be happy to write Democracy during the Russian Revolution Article, as this is an area I've read a lot on, although that ought to go up to the first soviet union, and essentially will end where Democracy in the Soviet Union picks up, suggesting that they should really be two halves of the same article under two major headings, either way I the earlier area is one I've studied in quiet some depth. Z.Dearg (talk) 19:19, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Definition
Under the definition topic, there is no definition given, unlike in the introduction. It deals with the political system of the post-WWII USSR, which wasn't a Soviet democracy according to the introduction, since it didn't know a recall system, nor an imperative mandate, nor the basic organisation of voters. With the 1936 constitution, any remaining elements (de facto already abolished via the monopoly of power of the party and the GPU) got abolished, and replaced by a caricature of Western parliaments (to paraphrase Trotsky). The content of the chapter also seems biased and uncritical, since just not getting shot for expressing criticism is not per se democracy, the party leaders in many Eastern bloc countries loved to see themselves as the good leaders who care about their people. That's however not a Soviet democracy as outlined in the article, but what 19th century monarchs did. Socius sociologicus (talk) 11:30, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

 * I agree. I think this article could benefit from having more information about more authentic examples such as Makhnovshchina. Charles Essie (talk) 21:00, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Unclear terms
Definition section lacks clarity as to when it is referring to the general concept of soviet democracy vs. when it is referring to the specific implementation of that concept within the former USSR. 24.25.214.58 (talk) 19:30, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

 * I think this article should discuss both in detail as well as other cases such as the Hungarian Soviet Republic and the Makhnovshchina. Charles Essie (talk) 21:40, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Involvement of the British in the incident in Baku
The following sentence seems to be partially at odds with the "26 Baku Commissars" article: "In one incident in Baku, the British military, once invited in, proceeded to execute members of the Bolshevik Party who had peacefully stood down from the Soviet when they failed to win the elections."

Unless I overlooked or misread something, the "26 Baku Commissars" article gives me the impression that the British military likely had a less direct role in the executions than the quoted sentence states. ZFT (talk) 00:06, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

The quoted sentence is also present in several other Wikipedia articles. ZFT (talk) 00:13, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Enterprise software

Enterprise software, also known as enterprise application software (EAS), is computer software used to satisfy the needs of an organization rather than its individual users. Enterprise software is an integral part of a computer-based information system, handling a number of business operations, for example to enhance business and management reporting tasks, or support production operations and back office functions. Enterprise systems must process information at a relatively high speed.

Services provided by enterprise software are typically business-oriented tools. As companies and other organizations have similar departments and systems, enterprise software is often available as a suite of customizable programs. Function-specific enterprise software uses include database management, customer relationship management, supply chain management and business process management.

Definitions and industry
The term enterprise software is used in industry, and business research publications, but is not common in computer science. The term was widely popularized in the early 1990s by major software vendors in conjunction with licensing deals with the show Star Trek In academic literature no coherent definition can be found. The computer historian Martin Campbell-Kelly contemplated in 2003 that the growth of the corporate software industry is not well understood. Enterprise application software (EAS) is recognized among academics as enterprise software components and modules which support only a particular business function. These EAS software components and modules can interoperate, so that cross-functional or inter-organizational enterprise systems can be built up. In this context the industry may speak of middleware. Software that is primarily sold to consumers, is not called enterprise software.

According to Martin Fowler, "Enterprise applications are about the display, manipulation, and storage of large amounts of often complex data and the support or automation of business processes with that data."

Enterprise application software performs business functions such as order processing, procurement, production scheduling, customer information management, energy management, and accounting.

Enterprise systems
Enterprise systems (ES) are large-scale enterprise software packages which support a range of business processes, information flows, reporting, and data analytics in complex organizations. While ES are generally packaged enterprise application software (PEAS) systems, they can also be bespoke, custom-developed systems created to support a specific organization's needs. Types of enterprise system include:
 * enterprise resources planning (ERP) systems,
 * enterprise planning systems, and
 * customer relationship management software.

Although data warehousing or business intelligence systems are enterprise-wide packaged application software often sold by ES vendors, since they do not directly support execution of business processes, they are often excluded from the term.

Enterprise systems are built on software platforms, such as SAP's NetWeaver and Oracle's Fusion, and databases.

From a hardware perspective, enterprise systems are the servers, storage and associated software that large businesses use as the foundation for their IT infrastructure. These systems are designed to manage large volumes of critical data and thus are typically designed to provide high levels of transaction performance and data security.

The "seemingly boundless complexity" of enterprise systems has been criticised, and arguments maintained for deploying discrete systems for specific business tasks. Cynthia Rettig, an American businesswoman, has argued that "the concept of a single monolithic system [has] failed for many companies".

Types
Enterprise software can be categorized by business function. Each type of enterprise application can be considered a "system" due to the integration with a firm's business processes. Categories of enterprise software may overlap due to this systemic interpretation. For example, IBM's Business Intelligence platform (Cognos), integrates with a predictive analytics platform (SPSS) and can obtain records from its database packages (Infosphere, DB2).

Certain industry-standard product categories have emerged, and these are shown below:

 * Business Intelligence (BI)
 * Business Process Management (BPM)
 * Content Management System (CMS)
 * Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
 * DataBase Management System (DBMS) - such as Master Data Management (MDM) and Data Warehousing (DW, DWH or EDW)
 * Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
 * Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)
 * Human Resource Management (HRM)
 * Knowledge Management (KM)
 * Low-code Development Platforms (LCDP)
 * Product Data Management (PDM)
 * Product Information Management (PIM)
 * Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
 * Supply Chain Management (SCM)
 * Software Configuration Management (SCM) - such as Version Control System (VCS)
 * Networking and Information Security
 * Intrusion Detection Prevention (IDS) - and by extension Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
 * Software Defined Networking (SDN) - including SD-WAN
 * Security Information Event Management (SIEM) - which can combine Security Information Management (SIM) and Security Event Management (SEM).

Other types of software which do not fit into well-known standard categories, including backup software, billing management, and accounting software. Enterprise contract management software is used to bring all of an organisation's contractual commitments into a single system for holistic management and to avoid the variability and inefficiency inherent in manual contracting processes.

Unyanyembe

Unyanyembe is a town in Tanzania (formerly German East Africa) near Mwadui Airport in Shinyanga Region. It was one of the locations visited by Henry Morton Stanley during his search for Dr Livingstone. In the 19th-century it was the headquarters of a kingdom that controlled Tabora as well as other areas. (David Livingstone was there in 1872, and borrowed a pocket chronometer, witness the document at the right.)

Kingdom of Unyanyembe
Unyanyembe was a 19th-century kingdom where the main ethnic group was known as the Nyamwezi, although many other ethnic groups were present as well.

Ifundikila (reigned 1840–1858) was a king of Unyanyembe who oversaw major cooperation with a large Arab-Swahili commercial class in his kingdom. The two main bases of this population were Tabora and Kwihara. According to descriptions left by Sir Richard Burton this population had large gardens, large numbers of slaves and concubines, and in some cases controlled private armies sometimes numbering up to 300 people.

One of the most prominent Arabs, Mohammad ibn Juma, married one of Ifundikila's daughters. However it needs to be kept in mind that the Arabs and Swahili's were a foreign commercial class, they did not exercise political control in the kingdom.

The next king of Unyanyembe was Mnywasela. He was able to come to power in large part due to support of the Swahilis and Arabs. He expelled his main rival for the throne, Mkasiwa from the kingdom. After a few years the people of Unyanyembe tried of Mnywasela's rule, and a faction worked to return Mkasiwa from his exile in the Kingdom of Ulyankhulu. 1860 saw this struggle escalate to the point that Mnywasela was driven from power and Mkasiwa made the new ruler. The next four years saw persistent fighting as Mnywasela tried to regain power, but Mksaiwa was able to retain his power. In 1875 Mkasiwa was succeeded as king by Isike.

From 1871 to 1884 Unyanyembe was involved in a war with Urambo. This was fought because Urambo's ruler, Mirambo, had extended his power to control the main routes of trade between Unyanyembe and the Swahili coast, and both the Arab-Swahili merchants and the Nyamwezi objected to his transit fees. During this war the Barghash the Sultan of Zanzibar sent a force of 3,000 to fight on the side of Unanyembe. Prior to the war he had also appointed a consul of Zanzibar to be based in Tabora.

Unyanyembe also had a large population of the Tutsi in the 19th century. Although they came primarily as herdsmen, many were recruited into the army for the war against Urambo

McAlpine Locks and Dam

The McAlpine Locks and Dam are a set of locks and a hydroelectric dam at the Falls of the Ohio River at Louisville, Kentucky. They are located at mile point 606.8, and control a 72.9 mi long navigation pool. The locks and their associated canal were the first major engineering project on the Ohio River, completed in 1830 as the Louisville and Portland Canal, designed to allow shipping traffic to navigate through the Falls of the Ohio.

History
From 1925 to 1927, the dam for generating hydroelectric power was added, and the locks were expanded, first by a private company and then by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The hydroelectric plant at the time was the seventh largest hydroelectric plant in the United States.

The system was renamed the McAlpine Locks and Dam in 1960 in honor of William McAlpine, who was the only civilian to have ever served as district engineer for the Corps of Louisville. At present, the normal pool elevation is 420 ft above sea level and the drainage area above the dam is 91,170 square miles (236,000 km2). The average daily flow at McAlpine is 118,000 cubic feet per second (3,340 m3/s). The lock chambers are located at the dam on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River and are capable of a normal lift of 37 ft between the McAlpine pool upstream and the Cannelton pool downstream. The hydroelectric plant consists of eight turbine units with a net power generation capacity of 80,000 kilowatts.

In October 2003, McAlpine was designated a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

The McAlpine locks underwent a 10-year, $278 million expansion project scheduled to be completed in 2008, but was completed in early 2009.

Ownership
The hydroelectric plant is owned and operated by Louisville Gas & Electric, a subsidiary of PPL Corporation while the locks are operated by the Army Corps of Engineers.

This is the fourth time today where I had to ask, what's this doing on VfD?  Honestly, when I first came here, I thought the articles on VfD made Wikipedia look bad.

Aldruda Frangipane

Aldruda Frangipane, Countess of Bertinoro, (after 1120 – after October 1173) was a twelfth-century Roman noblewoman and military leader.

Aldruda is believed to have belonged to the Frangipane family of Rome. She was probably born soon after 1120, but there is no record of her until 1142, when Gualtiero, the archbishop of Ravenna, declared that he was willing to renew the investiture of the castle of Bertinoro to Rainerio di Cavalcaconte on condition that he marry a Frangipane. The marriage probably took place in 1142.

In a document dated 29 December 1153, Pope Celestino II granted rights in the feud of Bertinoro to Pietro degli Onesti, tutor to the children of Rainerio – who by then had died – and "Boltruda", presumed to be Aldruda; among the witnesses to the document are Oddone and Cencio Frangipane. According to this document, at this time Aldruda had a young son, Cavalcaconte, and was expecting another.

Aldruda appears with her sons Cavalcaconte and Rainerio in two deeds of donation dated 31 July 1152 and June 1153. She continued to govern Bertinoro even after Cavalcaconte reached the age of majority, maintaining a court of some magnificence. Cavalcaconte died in Venice in 1177; after 1153 nothing more is known of Rainerio.

In October 1173 Aldruda led the forces of Bertinoro in the army that relieved the city of Ancona, under siege by troops of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa under archbishop Christian of Mainz.

In a panegyric to the Byzantine emperor Manuel Komnenos written in 1174, the archbishop Eustathios of Thessaloniki praises the people of Ancona, describing the events of the siege and the part played by Aldruda. Her participation in the relief of the siege is described by Boncompagno da Signa in his Liber de Obsidione Ancone of 1201.

There is no further document of her life after the siege.

Unearned increment

Unearned increment is an increase in the value of land or any property without expenditure of any kind on the part of the proprietor; it is an early statement of the notion of unearned income. It was coined by John Stuart Mill, who proposed taxing it so that it benefits every member of a society.

History
Mill's concept was refined and developed by nineteenth-century economist Henry George in his book Progress and Poverty (1879). George argued that the value of land increased as population growth expanded the division of labor. A landowner's exclusive claim to their land granted them the ability to collect the excess productivity as economic rent. Thorstein Veblen further developed the concept, pointing out that the value of a piece of land was also dependent on current technological capabilities.

Veblen thought the unearned increment increased as the industrial arts advanced, so the argument could be extended from land to capital goods. Focusing on the role of technical knowledge in the creation and operation of capital, Veblen argues the unearned increment in the case of capital is in the monopolization of the community's knowledge. As industrial methods advance and the unit of industrial equipment grows larger, it becomes feasible to monopolize the required materials for earning a living, effectively monopolizing a portion of the community's knowledge.

For both George and Veblen, the unearned increment emerges from the actions of an individual with the ability to exclusively use a community asset in order to generate profit. The profit takes the form of an unearned increment because the individual reaping the profit didn't create the land (or knowledge) used to do so. Both thinkers also argued that such monopolization of the community's resources would lead to the creation of economic slavery.

William Short (Alberta politician)

William Short (January 11, 1866 – January 27, 1926) was a politician in Alberta, Canada and a two time mayor of Edmonton.

Biography
Short was born July 11, 1866, near Elora, Canada West and studied law at the University of Toronto before coming to Alberta in 1889. He articled to James Alexander Lougheed from 1891 until 1894, when he was called to the provincial bar. That year, he moved to Edmonton and opened a law practice before partnering with Charles Cross in 1900 to form Short & Cross (which still exists today under the name Duncan Craig LLP). He married Henrietta McMaster on February 7, 1900; the pair had one son and one daughter.

In 1899, Short was elected to sit as a public school trustee, which he did until he was acclaimed as mayor during the 1901 election. He faced no opposition to his re-election bid in 1902, and defeated his former school board colleague H. C. Taylor in the 1903 election to retain the title. This allowed him to be mayor when Edmonton's status changed from town to city in 1904, and to author the city charter. He did not seek another term in the 1904 election. During this first stint as mayor, Short oversaw the extension of the railroad to the north side of the North Saskatchewan River in 1902 (an event which occasioned the proclamation of a civic holiday by Mayor Short).

He returned to the mayoralty in December 1912 by defeating two candidates, including future mayor Joseph Clarke. His re-election bid in 1913 was foiled by William McNamara, making him the first mayor in Edmonton's history to lose a re-election bid. After this defeat, Short did not return to politics. William Short was active with the Masons, the Edmonton Board of Trade, and the Conservative Party of Alberta. He was also an enthusiastic motorist and owned one of Edmonton's first automobiles. He died January 27, 1926.

William Short Road in Edmonton is named in his honour.

Al Milgrom

Allen L. Milgrom (born March 6, 1950) is an American comic book writer, penciller, inker and editor, primarily for Marvel Comics. He is known for his 10-year run as editor of Marvel Fanfare; his long involvement as writer, penciler, and inker on Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man; his four-year tenure as West Coast Avengers penciller; and his long stint as the inker of X-Factor. He often inks Jim Starlin's work. Milgrom is the co-creator of DC superhero Firestorm.

Early life
Al Milgrom grew up in Detroit, Michigan and graduated from the University of Michigan in 1972.

Career
Milgrom started his comics career in 1972 as an assistant for inker Murphy Anderson. During that period, Milgrom contributed to Charlton Comics' Many Ghosts of Doctor Graves, Star*Reach, and comics published by Warren Publishing and Atlas/Seaboard, before joining with Marvel. Milgrom also worked as a "Crusty Bunker" for Neal Adams' Continuity Associates in 1977.

At one point Milgrom lived in the same Queens apartment building as artists Walter Simonson, Howard Chaykin, and Bernie Wrightson. Simonson recalls, "We'd get together at 3 a.m. They'd come up and we'd have popcorn and sit around and talk about whatever a 26, 27 and 20-year-old guys talk about. Our art, TV, you name it. I pretty much knew at the time, 'These are the good ole days.'"

Milgrom came to prominence as a penciller on Captain Marvel from 1975 to 1977. He penciled the Guardians of the Galaxy feature in Marvel Presents, which was written by Steve Gerber and Roger Stern. Milgrom worked as editor at DC Comics from 1977 to 1978. While at DC, he co-created Ronnie Raymond, the original Firestorm, with writer Gerry Conway.

Milgrom was an editor for Marvel Comics beginning in 1979, and editing Marvel Fanfare for its full ten-year run (#1–60, March 1982–January 1992). As editor of The Incredible Hulk, he designed the costumes of the U-Foes. He drew The Avengers (1983–85), The West Coast Avengers (1985–88), Kitty Pryde and Wolverine (1984–85), Secret Wars II (1985–86) and wrote the Mephisto limited series (1987).

Milgrom wrote and drew The Spectacular Spider-Man #90–100 (1984–85), and The Incredible Hulk (1986–87). In 1991, he wrote a story arc for The Amazing Spider-Man and collaborated with Danny Fingeroth on The Deadly Foes of Spider-Man limited series.

Milgrom has been a prolific inker, working on most of Marvel's line. He served an eight-year stint as the inker of X-Factor in 1989–1997. He inked Ron Frenz on Thor in 1991–1993 and Thunderstrike from 1994 to 1995. Other series he has worked on include Captain America, Generation X, The Micronauts, and the Uncanny X-Men. Milgrom inked the limited series A-Next, J2, Marvel: The Lost Generation, and Thanos. Beginning in 1996, Milgrom completed his artistic journey on The Spectacular Spider-Man by inking the title until its cancellation in 1998.

In 2001 Milgrom was fired from his Marvel staff job when it was discovered he had added hidden slanderous comments against then Editor-in-Chief Bob Harras in the background of a page in the comic book Universe X Special: Spidey. Milgrom went on to freelance for Marvel, mostly inking Jim Starlin's work. He also started to work for Archie Comics on a regular basis, inking a variety of titles. Beginning in the early 2000s, Al Milgrom freelanced for DC again, providing inks for titles like Mystery in Space (vol. 2), Ambush Bug: Year None and Strange Adventures (vol. 3).

Awards
In 2009, Cleburne: A Graphic Novel, written and pencilled by Justin S. Murphy and inked by Al Milgrom, was nominated for the Independent Book Publishers Association's Benjamin Franklin Awards. In 2016, Milgrom was nominated and tied for runner-up for the Inkwell Awards Special Recognition Award. In 2017, he was awarded an Inkwell Awards Special Recognition Award.

Personal life
Milgrom married Judy Lewin (also from Detroit) in early 1979. They have a daughter, Rachel, and two sons, Ben and Josh.

In fiction
In the film Ant-Man, Scott Lang and his crew stay at the Milgrom Hotel, an homage to Al Milgrom.

Talk:René Lévesque Boulevard

Article name (2005)

 * The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

Pick a name. This is what redirects are for. - Montréalais 01:47, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

 * No, the redirects are there so you can type in "Rene Levesque Boulevard" or "Dorchester Boulevard" and still come here, to the right page. Larineso 02:34, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

 * And, by the way, the French version of this article is called
 * "boulevard René Lévesque (Dorchester)".
 * I didn't create it. -Larineso 02:35, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

How is this "the right page?" Some people call it "boul. René-Lévesque"; some people call it "René Lévesque Boulevard"; some people call it "Dorchester Boulevard." Nobody, but nobody, calls it "René Lévesque (Dorchester) Boulevard." It would be like calling the article on Berri-UQAM (Montreal Metro) "Berri-UQAM (Berri-de Montigny) (Montreal Metro)".

I suggest the article be at René Lévesque Boulevard (if I had my druthers it would be at Boulevard René-Lévesque, though I'd never hear the end of it), with Dorchester Boulevard and the rest as redirects. Regardless of our dispute about official vs. anglicized names, I'm quite sure we can agree it's preferable to have an article title that someone uses. - Montréalais 03:44, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Montrealais, generally, I agree with you, which you can see at Talk:Saint Jacques Street, but this is different. The street has two names- in Montreal it is Rene Levesque (sorry, too lazy for accents), but in Westmount it is still called Dorchester. The Westmount stretch is also an important part of the street, so we can't just ignore it. Also, people can type in Rene Levesque or whatever, as there are many redirects.--Larineso 00:59, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

The name of this article, as it stands, is nonsensical. It should be René Lévesque Boulevard (or Boulevard René-Lévesque), but not some sort of hybrid of the English and French. If Dorchester Boulevard in Westmount is indeed an important subject, then let it be the subject of an article, with a link to René Lévesque Boulevard (or Boulevard René-Lévesque) as appropriate. — Grstain 06:14, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree with the comments against the name of this article: René Lévesque (Dorchester) Boulevard. It makes no sense, does not reflect the name of the street. I just came from the article on St. Catherine Street. Will that article soon be Sainte-Catherine (Saint Catherine) Street too?

 * If you want to use the English term for street, avenue, boulevard, etc., then so be it. But let's not have this bastardized mish-mash! 'Nuff said. - Grammarian 17:12, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

 * Agreed. Both names are used in English, it might as well just be Rene Levesuqe Boulvard then- less confusing. Larineso 23:49, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Since we've reached a consensus, I've gone ahead and moved it. - Montréalais 06:46, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Prime
``One of the street's prime addresses is 1250 René-Lévesque.'' No, 1250 is not prime. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.65.164.173 (talk) 02:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Non notable element of fiction. Unlike Put-Outer, it might not even be notable enough for a merge. Circeus 01:47, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Why's that not enough? I learned when I read it.  Merge CanadianCaesar 02:06, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge A prop that gets 1,300 hits on Google probably deserves a (shallow) nod. I see no need for an article on the (fancruft) topic, though. -Harmil 02:20, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
