Ichigo Kurosaki

Ichigo Kurosaki (黒崎 一護) is a fictional character in the Bleach manga series and its adaptations created by author Tite Kubo. He is the main protagonist of the series, who receives Soul Reaper powers after meeting Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper assigned to patrol around the fictional city of Karakura Town. These powers come at the cost of her own, and as a result, he concedes to work as her stand-in, fighting to protect people from evil spirits called Hollows and sending good spirits, wholes, to a dimension known as the Soul Society. Ichigo appears in other media after the manga series, including the anime television series, four anime films, two original video animations, rock musicals, several video games, light novels and the 2018 live-action film.

Kubo said that Ichigo was created to replace Rukia as the protagonist of the series, because he felt she was unsuited for the role. In the anime series adaptation, Ichigo is voiced by Masakazu Morita in Japanese. In the English dubbing, he is voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch. In the live-action film, he is played by Sota Fukushi.

His character has been well received among both readers and reviewers. Ichigo is often featured in Weekly Shōnen Jump character popularity polls. He was consistently ranked as the most popular character in Bleach. The 2007 Japanese Newtype magazine polls ranked Ichigo as one of the top 100 most-loved anime characters. Reviewers of the series have praised his personality, though some consider him to be a stereotypical anti-hero. Merchandise based on Ichigo's likeness has been released, including toys, clothing and action figures. However, critics disliked his anticlimactic fights in the series' latter half due to his lack of memorable scenes at these points.

Creation and conception
When drawing the manga series, Kubo commented that Rukia, the first Bleach character he introduced, was originally intended to be the protagonist. Through subsequent development of the series, however, Kubo decided to make her a valued ally and instead introduced Ichigo as the central character of the manga series. Initial design sketches show Ichigo wearing glasses, and having dark hair and softer eyes. When designing Rukia, however, Kubo modified Ichigo's appearance to contrast with hers, giving Ichigo orange hair, a trademark scowl, and removing the glasses. During the series' first chapter, Ichigo's wristwatch was based on one Kubo himself wore at the time. In later chapters, his wristwatch was based on Naoto Fukasawa's W11K cellphone. According to Kubo, Ichigo, along with Orihime Inoue, are the most arduous characters to sketch. While illustrating one of Ichigo's scenes, Kubo found it awkward to draw him with a cheerful smile.

Kubo has stated that Ichigo's greatest strength is his considerate and thoughtful nature. He always thinks about other's needs. However, he noted it as his greatest weakness, since worrying about his friends tends to put him in danger. When asked in an interview if he had any plans to focus on the love triangle between Ichigo, Orihime and Rukia, Kubo chose neither to confirm nor deny it as he did not want to focus on romance. Kubo attributes Ichigo's popularity among readers to the fact that he "looks cool". He also mentioned that as people read more about him they will discover that he is a warm and kind-hearted person.

Following over fifty volumes of the manga's released, Kubo believes that Ichigo was the most developed character. He said that Ichigo leads the story and introduces readers to the events in it. When the Arrancar arc ended, Kubo rebooted the series which resulted in Ichigo losing his Soul Reaper powers. In the same way Ichigo became a Soul Reaper during the series' first chapter; he starts searching for methods to recover his original powers. During the story arc, Ichigo wears a new outfit after developing his Fullbring powers. Kubo wanted to bring the readers a feeling of uneasiness when creating this design as it resembles more of a tokusatsu character rather than his kimono counterpart from the Soul Reaper form to the point it would fit Ginjou Shinjo better. As a result, Kubo noted that readers were relieved reobtained his Soul Reaper as he once again wore a kimono despite being sightly different from the original one.

Ichigo is voiced by Morita as a teenager and Yuki Matsuoka as a child for the Japanese anime. Morita said that Ichigo was one of his favorite characters he ever played alongside Tidus in Final Fantasy X. Johnny Yong Bosch voiced him as a teenager and Mona Marshall as a child for the English dub. While describing Ichigo as one of his best roles, Morita notes that voicing him can be at times difficult. Bosch has enjoyed voicing Ichigo's character due to his personal interest in the character's morals. However, he experienced difficulty voicing him in some scenes where Ichigo shouts for a long time.

Sota Fukushi played Ichigo in the live-action adaptation of the series with the storyline's first arc, with Bosch reprising his role in the English dub.

In Bleach
Ichigo is one of the students attending Karakura High School and having the ability to see ghosts. He meets a Soul Reaper named Rukia Kuchiki from a secret organization called the Soul Society, who are in charge of sending souls to the afterlife. At the same time, Ichigo's family is attacked by a Hollow, a deceased spirit becoming a warped soul-eating monster which Soul Reapers deal with. After being wounded in an attempt to save Ichigo from a Hollow attack, Rukia transfers her Soul Reaper powers to him so he can save his family. In the following months, Ichigo acts in Rukia's place as the Soul Reaper in protecting Karakura Town from Hollows as their friendship continues to grow. Ichigo's past is also revealed as he faces the Grand Fisher, a hollow who killed his mother when he was nine years old. In time, the Soul Society sends two high-seated officers to take Rukia back for committing the crime of transferring her Soul Reaper powers to a human. In training with Kisuke Urahara in order to rescue Rukia, Ichigo obtains his own Soul Reaper powers and learns the name of his Zanpakutō,. He takes his friends with him to the Soul Society: Sado “Chad” Yasutora, Orihime Inoue, and Uryū Ishida. Ichigo is confronted by members of Gotei 13, the main military force in the Soul Society. As he approaches the prison where she is being held captive, Ichigo does battle with, faces and defeats other Soul Reapers, including Renji Abarai, Kenpachi Zaraki, and Byakuya Kuchiki, who adopted Rukia as his sister. For his match against Byakuya, Ichigo learns his Bankai,, which highly increases his speed. After a long fight, he defeats Byakuya, who confesses why he tried to kill his sister. Captain Sōsuke Aizen, who faked his death prior, have been behind Rukia's sentencing and the chaos that plagued the Soul Society. He leaves the Soul Society and flees to the realm of Hollows, Hueco Mundo.

In time, Aizen targets Karakura Town with an army of Arrancars, Hollows that assumed human form with Soul Reaper powers, after subjecting them to the Hōgyoku. In order to defeat the Arrancars and to control his Hollow powers, Ichigo begins to train with the group of Soul Reaper outcasts known as the Vizard. During the invasion of Karakura Town, Ichigo's friend Orihime Inoue has been abducted by Ulquiorra Cifer, one of Aizen's strongest Arrancars: The Espadas. Ichigo and his friends independently head to Hueco Mundo to find Orihime. After defeating the Espada Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, Ichigo manages to save Orihime and defeat Ulquiorra. Soon after, Ichigo returns from Hueco Mundo to Karakura Town, and confront Aizen. During the battle interim, Ichigo learns a technique called the that weakens and defeats Aizen, allowing Urahara to seal him within a kidō barrier, at the cost of Ichigo's power.

Seventeen months later, Ichigo becomes a senior in high school. The start of the Lost Agent arc describes his life after losing his power. One day, he meets Kūgo Ginjō, a Fullbringer from the group Xcution. Ginjo offers to replenish Ichigo's Soul Reaper powers in return for helping him and his group to become ordinary humans. With their help, Ichigo unlocks his own Fullbring powers through his Substitute Soul Reaper Badge. However, Ichigo later learns that Ginjo and his ally Shūkurō Tsukishima, a Fullbringer with ability to change people's memories, used him to take Fullbring powers for Xcution's use. Rukia transfers the Reiatsu of the Gotei 13's senior officers and other Soul Reapers through a special sword and restores Ichigo's Soul Reaper powers. Ichigo fights Ginjo with his improved Shinigami powers and during their duel, it is revealed that Ginjo was the first Substitute Soul Reaper. Despite learning the truth, Ichigo resolves to protect everyone and help other Soul Reapers defeat Ginjo. Though learning from Ginjō that the Soul Society monitor and limit their powers, Ichigo promises the Soul Reapers to continue fighting by their side.

While patrolling Karakura Town, Ichigo is informed about the invasion of Hueco Mundo by Wandenreich, a group of Quincies. He goes to Hueco Mundo with his friends to liberate it from one of the Wandenreich's high-ranked officers Quilge Opie. Later, Ichigo finds out that the Quincies are attacking the Soul Society. Arriving just after Captain Commander Yamamoto's death, Ichigo encounters the Wandenreich's leader Yhwach. During the fight against Yhwach that ends with a draw, Ichigo's Zanpakutō is shattered and Yhwach leaves the Soul Society. Ichigo returns to the World of the Living, where he learns the truth that his mother was a pure-blood Quincy who was on a verge of hollowification after she was infected by White, Aizen's experimental Hollow. She was saved by Isshin at the cost of his Soul Reaper powers. Ichigo later learns that entity he believed to be Zangetsu is actually the embodiment of his Quincy powers while his inner Hollow is the True Zangetsu. Despite this, Ichigo still accept him as he gains his reforged true Zanpakutō in its new split true Shikai form. During the second invasion by the Wandenreich, Ichigo and his friends confront Yhwach at the Soul King's Palace. Ichigo gets overwhelmed, but Tsukishima and Orihime's combined efforts fixed his broken true Tensa Zangetsu. Together with Uryū, Renji and Aizen, Ichigo defeats Yhwach.

As revealed in the light novel Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World, Ichigo was a potential heir of the Soul King due to the nature of his origins and was spared the burden when a new Soul King was created from Yhwach's remains. The manga's epilogue, taking place ten years after Yhwach's defeat, Ichigo and Orihime had a son named Kazui, who destroys the remnants of Yhwach's power.

In other media
Ichigo appears in four films for the series, including Memories of Nobody, The DiamondDust Rebellion, Fade to Black and Hell Verse. He also appears in both of the original video animations; fighting against a Hollow called the Grand Fisher in the first one and combating the rogue Soul Reaper Baishin in the second. In the Bleach video games, Ichigo is a playable character, including the Heat the Soul and Blade Battlers series. In some games, his Hollow form and Bankai state are available as separate characters. In Rock Musical Bleach, a musical based on the Bleach series, Ichigo is played by Tatsuya Isaka. His character is featured in two volumes from the Bleach Beat Collection CD soundtrack series which features themes composed by his Japanese voice actor, Masakazu Morita. These include the first of them, in which he is the only character and the fourth season's fourth volume along with Rukia. Ichigo also appears in the first volume of Bleach Breathless Collection CD soundtrack series together with the embodiment of his Quincy powers that posed as the Zanpakutō spirit Zangetsu.

Ichigo is a playable character Jump Force.

Popularity
Amongst the Bleach reader base, Ichigo has been always highly ranked in the Weekly Shōnen Jump popularity polls for the series. He has usually taken first place, though in early 2008 he dropped to third. His sword, Zangetsu, also ranked third in the Zanpakutō popularity polls. In the 2007 Japanese Newtype magazine poll, Ichigo was ranked one of the best male anime characters. In the Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation (SPJA), Ichigo was elected for the best anime male character in 2008. The Japanese music distributor Recochoku has made two annual survey of which anime characters that people would like to marry. Ichigo ranked tenth in the category "The Character I Want to Be My Groom" from the 2008 survey and eight in the 2009 poll. Wizard Entertainment considered Ichigo the best hero from 2007, commenting that he does not try to be a typical hero but he fights in order to protect his friends. He was also 20th in IGN's "Top 25 Anime Characters of All Time" with comments focused on his design and personality. Ichigo has also appeared twice in the Anime Grand Prix polls, ranking as one of the most popular male anime characters. At the first Seiyu Awards in March 2007, Masakazu Morita won in the category "Best Rookie Actor" for his role as Ichigo Kurosaki. Ichigo's voice actor in the English adaptation, Johnny Yong Bosch, has also been praised for his voice work on Ichigo's character by Anime News Network (ANN), which favorably compared Bosch and Morita's work. Various merchandise based on Ichigo's appearance has been created, including action figures, plush toys and key-chains. Since the series was released, replica models of Ichigo's Zanpakutō and Bankai have been produced for purchase by collectors and fans.

Critical response
Several publications for manga, anime, video games, and other related media have provided praise and criticism on Ichigo's character. ANN's Melissa Harper commented that Ichigo's initial rebellious actions make him almost a stereotypical anti-hero, but note that he is soon revealed to be a more complex character with a sad past. Los Angeles Times's Charles Solomon comments Ichigo's character has little in common with protagonists from other series due to his bad temper and how he tends to fight. However, he added that readers from the series still "love" Ichigo. The way Ichigo becomes a Soul Reaper was found to be relatively common by Carlos Alexandre. He noted that Ichigo's character of a "tough guy with a heart of gold" had already been done in several series. Charles White from IGN praised Ichigo's climactic fight against Byakuya Kuchiki as one of the best fights in the Bleach series, and later Ramsey Isler gave additional praise to both the design and voice acting for Ichigo's inner Hollow.

Ichigo's development during the Rescue arc in which he sets to save Rukia Kuchiki from being executed have been praised by ANN's Theron Martin. He praised the scenes in which Ichigo manages to stop Rukia's execution and his subsequent demonstration of his Bankai as one of the "eminently satisfying landmark moments in the series". Wired News's Corrina Lawson stated that she liked Ichigo's strong sense of responsibility, and commented it was one of the reasons of the series' popularity. However, the early dynamic between Ichigo and Rukia was the subject of criticism as Film School Rejects was disappointed that the latter was reduced from a strong Soul Reaper into a weak supporting character as the former becomes the lead character with her powers. Anime News Network criticized the handling of how Ichigo faced off his biggest nemesis in the following arcs, Aizen and Ginjou. While the former was seen as anticlimactic and might have given the series a proper ending, the latter instead made no impact to his character despite their misrelationship caused by Ginjou's plans. Similarly, for the final fight in the manga between Ichigo and his allies against Yhwach for lacking any entertainment, giving a rushed feeling due to all characters assisting him briefly and how Ichigo became able to wield powers of every type of character in the process.

During the serialization of the manga, Tite Kubo said he received a letter from a reader who decided to name his son "Ichigo". This brought joy as well as fear to the manga artist due to how his work influenced other people. While feeling that he also made a good manga during this comment, Kubo decided to work more on the character in hopes that once the real Ichigo grows up, he would feel proud with his name.

Hello:

I really liked the idea about breaking up my paper into sections! I believe it will make the content more accessible.

I also liked the additional information you provided for me.

You had suggested that I should make internal links for some of the common terms, but I was not really sure what you meant. For example, the words pigment, resin, and wax are used in several of my sources. I looked at some of our other peers pages and I did observe them making internal links. This is why I choose not to.

I really appreciate your help!

Good luck to you on your paper!

GM soy?
Are there any figures for what proportion of soy inks are derived from gm-soy sources? according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soybean#Genetic_Modification in 2006 89% of US produced soy beans for the commercial market are genetically modified. - This is important and controversial as it raises questions about how 'environmentally friendly' soy ink actually is...

What is not "environmentally friendly" about regular ink?
Nhtahoe (talk) 23:17, 19 March 2008 (UTC) On this page, it states soy ink "is more environmentally friendly" but the specifics are rather lacking. Does anyone have a resource, study, etc. that goes into some detail about the environmental impacts of regular ink?

 * The content of this article is still of pretty poor quality. Parts of the the section on production seem quite biased and reads like an advertisement for soya based inks. It's also poorly interpreting and using case studies as references to then make generalized claims. Infact I think the '85% reduction' in coverage using soya instead of water on labels appears as if they just changed their design to use less ink and has nothing to do with the type of ink. Not to mention the writing style is poor. And at least two of the references links are broken. Devon (talk) 07:59, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Court allegations-Personal life
Apparently, McClurg is under court ordered conservatorship due to dementia and there has been additional court filings alleging serious matters. I also notice the article doesn't have a Personal life section. Not sure if the allegations should be in the article but health related items, life, marriages, children, etc, maybe? Major outlets are picking up the court proceedings so might be able to get some personal life info from reliable sources. I'm not up to doing it at this time but another editor might think about it. TMZ article: 'FERRIS BUELLER' STAR EDIE MCCLURG ALLEGEDLY ELDER ABUSE VICTIM ...Caregiver Allegedly Sexually Assaulted P37307 (talk) 06:11, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Date of birth
Some sites have 1945 listed as her birth year and some have 1951. It's more likely it's the former. Because her high school yearbooks are on classmates.com and she's listed and pictured as having attended Bishop Lillis High School from 1958 to 1962. Which is the same school her brother Bob(who is also pictured) attended. Plus she got her BA from The University Of Missouri Kansas City in 1967.

https://www.classmates.com/siteui/people/edie-mcclurg/100175461

https://info.umkc.edu/news/they-have-touched-our-lives/

So unless she's some sort of child prodigy, it's very unlikely she graduated high school at 10 or 11 and then graduated from a university at 16 or 17. A lot of websites do have 1951, but that's because they're getting it from other websites. A lot of sites these days tend to web scrape without doing any fact checking. Kcj5062 (talk) 03:55, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

 * For what it's worth, NBC News' The Today Show in August 2022 had her age at 77 years old based on court documents they obtained. [NBC Link 1 ] P37307 (talk) 05:18, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I would say that's sufficient source to add to the article right now. (Also, being 77 in 2022 would put her birth around 1945, and would also make the dates of her education match up.) Sunshineisles2 (talk) 20:35, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Missouri Birth registers as well as various current public records all list her birth as July 23, 1945, and she is listed in the 1950 U.S. Census in April 1950 as age 4, so this also confirms 1945 as her year of birth. I fully realize this is considered original research, so I'm not adding it or requesting the specific date to be added; I just wanted to confirm the 1945 year that some sites give. Kman543210 (talk) 02:19, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Kman543210, do you have a link or cite to any of this, esp the exact age so this can be settled once and for all. The tabloids have made such a mess creating and spreading the wrong year of birth, imo. Unfortunately, I have looked for the eldercare abuse probate court records that The Today Show relied on in my comment above and they aren't public, as far as I can tell, which would settle it. Even a cite for the Census you mention could be used for the 1944/1945 year of birth cite. P37307 (talk) 03:36, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, the Missouri Birth Registry I'm accessing is Ancestry.com as well as the public records I found, and I believe this is considered original research because I looked it up (not certain about what Wikipedia considers reliable secondary sources to be honest). I did find this exact birth date on several fan sites as well as the biography blurb on Amazon Prime for McClurg's entry. For what it's worth, I do trust the accuracy of the date, but again, I don't know where the date can be found in a source that's acceptable for Wikipedia. Kman543210 (talk) 06:29, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * So I just did a web search for Edie McClurg July 23, 1945, and a ton of sites came up giving that as her birth date. I can't tell you which ones would qualify as reliable sources, but there was an official news website, FOX Broadcasting affiliate, that printed this: "Born: Kansas City, Missouri, USA (7/23/1945)" (https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/famous-actresses-from-missouri-2/) Kman543210 (talk) 06:40, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Median cubital vein

In human anatomy, the median cubital vein (or median basilic vein) is a superficial vein of the arm on the anterior aspect of the elbow. It classically connects the cephalic vein and the basilic vein.

It is routinely used for venipuncture (taking blood) and as a site for an intravenous cannula. This is due to its particularly wide lumen, and its tendency to remain stationary upon needle insertion.

Structure
The median cubital vein is a superficial vein of the arm. It lies on the anterior aspect of the elbow, in the cubital fossa superficial to the bicipital aponeurosis. It bridges the cephalic vein and the basilic vein.

The median cubital vein receives a number of tributaries from the anterior forearm. The median antebrachial vein may or may not drain into the median cubital vein.

The median cubital vein issues a branch - the deep median vein - which pierces the fascial roof of the cubital fossa to join the brachial veins.

Variations
The arrangement of the basilic, cephalic, median cubital, and median antebrachial veins exhibits a wide range of variations. Classically, the median cubital vein bridges the cephalic and basilic veins across the midline to form a H-pattern. However, in many cases, the median cubial vein is absent, instead replaced by a dominant median antebrachial vein that splits into intermediate cephalic and basilic veins to drain in the cephalic and basilic veins, respectively, forming a M-pattern. A number of other patterns exist, including ones where no anastomosis occurs between the basilic and cephalic veins, and ones where the median cubital vein is doubled. When the median cubital vein is large, it transfers most or all blood from the cephalic vein to the basilic vein, so that the cephalic vein is either significantly diminished or altogether absent.

Clinical significance
The median cubital vein becomes prominent when pressure is applied to upstream veins as venous blood builds up.

The median cubital vein is routinely used for venipuncture (taking blood) and as a site for an intravenous cannula. This is due to its particularly wide lumen, and its tendency to remain stationary upon needle insertion. It becomes prominent when pressure is applied upstream, which makes needle insertion easier. Such pressure is created using a tourniquet.

Jeff Danziger

Jeff Danziger (born 1943 in New York, New York) is a syndicated political cartoonist and author.

Danziger was listed on Bernard Goldberg's list of "100 People Who Are Screwing Up Americahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_People_Who_Are_Screwing_Up_America." Danziger described the listing as "an honor."

Biography
Danziger served in the United States Army from 1967 until 1971. An intelligence officer and linguist during the Vietnam War, he was awarded the Bronze Star and Air Medal in 1970. In 1971 he began teaching English at Union 32 High School in East Montpelier, Vermont, where he taught specialized classes in journalism and expository writing at an advanced level, and worked for the Christian Science Monitor between 1987 and 1997. As of 2009, he has been published by the Los Angeles Times Syndicate. He now lives in New York City.

Work
Danziger lampooned the George W. Bush administration in many of his cartoons, some of which are collected in the anthologies Wreckage Begins with 'W' and Blood, Debt and Fears. In an interview with The Comics Journal, Danziger said, "Keep in mind that I agree with a great many things that the Republicans have been traditionally for. I am in favor of a solid economy. I am in favor of a strong dollar. I am in favor of looking after troops. I am in favor of maintaining a strong army, and I am in favor of the ability to go into business and make a profit and not pay taxes for silly purposes."

In addition to his editorial cartoons, he also created the comic strip McGonigle of the Chronicle (distributed by the Field Newspaper Syndicate), which ran from 1983 to 1985 in newspapers across the country, and a weekly series, The Teeds: Tales of Agriculture for the Young and Old that continues to run in Vermont newspapers. He also created the short-lived syndicated comic strip Stitches, about a doctor's office, that was syndicated by the Washington Post Writers Group from 1997 to 1998.

Autobiography
Danziger wrote a factual but comical autobiography of his years(1967-1971) serving in the United States Army during the Vietnam War (Bronze Star and Air Medal). Lieutenant Dangerous was published by Steerforth Press in 2021. Tim O'Brien, author of The Things They Carried characterized the book as "funny, biting, thoughtful, and wholly original". Numerous other authors of highly regarded books on the VietNam War were similarly laudatory.

Controversial cartoons
In 2005, when Condoleezza Rice was nominated to be U.S. Secretary of State, Danziger drew cartoon that was critical of Rice where he used racial stereotypes concerning the look and speech of African Americans. Danziger was criticized by the National Black Republican Association who stated that Danziger "depicted Dr. Rice as an ignorant, barefoot "mammy," reminiscent of the stereotyped black woman in the movie Gone with the Wind who remarked: "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies.'"

In October 2005, Danziger published a cartoon in the Rutland Herald depicting a scientist unearthing a roulette wheel at an Abenaki archaeological site. Examining the artwork carefully, one finds in very small print "Sweat Lodge Casino." The portrayal of Indians as casino operators outraged Native Americans across the country and highlighted a larger part of Indian portrayal in the media. The Barre Montpelier Times Argus wrote: "Publishers of newspapers think it's okay to mock and offend Indians; they say, 'How could this possibly be racist, we're only kidding.' The institution of media is in denial about promoting racism. In fact, they don't even notice."

Logos Foundation (Australia)

The Logos Foundation was an influential and controversial Christian ministry that flourished in Australia in the 1970s and 1980s under the leadership of Howard Carter, originally a Baptist pastor from Auckland, New Zealand. Logos Foundation was initially a trans-denominational charismatic teaching ministry, primarily Protestant but with some ties to Catholic lay groups and individuals.

The Logos Foundation was Reconstructionist, Restorationist, and Dominionistic company in its theology and works.

Early history
The ministry was established by Paul Collins c. 1966 in New Zealand as a trans-denominational teaching ministry serving the Charismatic Renewal through publishing the Logos Magazine. Paul Collins moved it to Sydney, Australia around 1969, where it also facilitated large trans-denominational renewal conferences in venues such as Sydney Town Hall and the Wentworth Hotel. It was transferred to Howard Carter's leadership, relocating to Hazelbrook, in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales for a few years, and in the mid-1970s to Blackheath, in the upper Blue Mountains. During these years, the teaching ministry attracted like-minded fellowships and home groups into loose association with it.

Publishing became a significant operation, distributing charismatic Christian-themed and restorationist teachings focused on Christian maturity and Christ's pre-eminence in short books and the monthly Logos/Restore Magazine (associated with New Wine Magazine, USA). It held annual weeklong conferences of over 1,000 registrants, featuring international charismatic speakers, including Derek Prince, Ern Baxter, Don Basham, Charles Simpson, Bob Mumford, Kevin Conner (Australia), Peter Morrow (New Zealand) and others.

A Bible College was also established nearby at Westwood Lodge, Mount Victoria. At the main site in Blackheath, a Christian K–12 school, Mountains Christian Academy was established, which was a forerunner of more widespread Christian independent schools and home schooling as a hallmark of the movement. It carried over the Old Covenant practice of tithing (to the local church) and expected regular sacrificial giving beyond this.

Theologically it taught orthodox core Christian beliefs, however, in matters of opinion Logos teaching was presented as authoritative, and alternative views were discouraged. Those who questioned this teaching tended to leave the movement. Over time, a strong cult-like culture of group conformity developed and those who dared to question were quickly brought into line by other members with automated responses shrouded in spiritualized parlance. In some instances, the leadership engaged in bullying-type behavior to enforce unquestioning compliance. The group viewed itself as separate from "the world" and any alternative views and even other expressions, denominations or interpretations of Christianity were regarded at best as suspect but mostly as false.

From the mid-1970s a hierarchical ecclesiology was adopted in the form of the Shepherding Movement's whole-of-life discipleship of members by personal pastors (usually their "cell group" leader), who in turn were accountable to their personal pastors. Followers were informed that even their leader, Howard Carter, related as a disciple to the apostolic group in Christian Growth Ministries of Bob Mumford, Charles Simpson, Ern Baxter, Derek Prince, and Don Basham, in Ft Lauderdale, USA (whose network was estimated to have approx. 150,000 people involved at its peak c.1985). Howard Carter's primary pastoral relationship was with Ern Baxter, a pioneer of the Healing Revival of the 1950s and the Charismatic Renewal of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Written covenants of submission to the individual church pastors were encouraged for the members of one representative church, Christian Faith Centre (Sydney), and were said to be common practice throughout the movement at the time.

In 1980 the Logos movement churches adopted the name "Australian Fellowship of Covenant Communities" (AFoCC) and were led through an eschatological shift in the early 1980s from the pre-millennialism of many Pentecostals (described as a theology of defeat) to the post-millennialism of the Presbyterian Reconstructionist theonomists (described as a theology of victory). Some senior leaders, like Pastor David Jackson of the Christian Faith Centre in Sydney, left the movement when it changed to a more open theological-political paradigm. In the mid-1980s AFoCC rebranded yet again as the Covenant Evangelical Church (not associated with the Evangelical Covenant Church in the USA). The Logos Foundation brand name continued as the educational, commercial, and political arm of the Covenant Evangelical Church.

It moved for the final time in 1987 to Toowoomba, Queensland, where there were already associated fellowships and a demographic environment highly conducive to the growth of extreme right-wing religio-political movements. This fertile ground saw the movement peak in a short time, reaching a local support base of upwards of 2,000 people, supplemented by a large mail-order support base.

The 1980s move to Queensland
The move to Toowoomba involved much preparation, including members selling homes and other assets in New South Wales and the Logos Foundation acquiring many homes, businesses and commercial properties in Toowoomba and the Darling Downs.

In the process of relocating the organisation and most of its members, it absorbed a number of other small Christian Churches in Toowoomba. Some of these were house churches/groups more or less affiliated with Carter's other organisations. Carter and some of his followers attempted to make links with Queensland Premier Johannes Bjelke-Petersen, a known Christian conservative, in order to further their goals.

Carter continued to lead the shift in eschatology to post-millennialism and prominently religio-political in nature. More of his leadership team left the movement as Carter's style became more authoritarian and cultish. Colin Shaw was a key member at this time, who believed that Pastor Howard Carter was an "anointed man of God", going on to lead Logos outreach and ministry activities in Quezon City, Philippines. Logos used this Filipino church, the Christian Renewal Centre (a moderate Pentecostal/Charismatic church) as their base to advance and promote the teachings of the Shepherding Movement. With local assistance in the Philippines, Colin Shaw coordinated and sponsored under the Christian Renewal Center's name, conferences featuring Carter. Many poorly educated and sincere Filipino pastors and locals, usually from small churches were influenced to support the wider Logos movement and to tithe from their limited funds into it. However, soon after the revelation of Howard Carter's scandalous immorality and corrupt lifestyle broke, the Filipino wing of Logos dissolved and dispersed back into established local churches. Colin Shaw abandoned the Shepherding movement and engaged in soul searching and self-exile for a time, fuelled by severe guilt over the way these Filipino Christians living in poverty were manipulated.

In 1989 Logos controversially involved itself in the Queensland State election, running a campaign of surveys and full-page newspaper advertisements promoting the line that candidates' adherence to Christian principles and biblical ethics was more important than the widespread corruption in the Queensland government that had been revealed by the Fitzgerald Inquiry. Published advertisements in the Courier-Mail at the time promoted strongly conservative positions in opposition to pornography, homosexuality and abortion, and a return to the death penalty. Some supporters controversially advocated Old Testament laws and penalties. This action backfired sensationally, with many mainstream Churches, community leaders and religious organisations distancing themselves from the Logos Foundation after making public statements denouncing them. At times the death penalty for homosexuals was advocated, in accordance with Old Testament Law. The Sydney Morning Herald later described part of this campaign when they published, "Homosexuality and censorship should determine your vote, the electorate was told; corruption was not the major concern." The same article quoted Carter from a letter he had written to supporters at the time, "The greenies, the gays and the greedy are marching. Now the Christians, the conservatives and the concerned must march also". These views were not new. An earlier article published in the Herald quoted a Logos spokesman in reference to the call for the death penalty for homosexuals in order to rid Queensland of such people, who stated "the fact a law is on the statutes is the best safeguard for society".

Although similar behaviours existed prior, these last years in Queensland saw Logos Foundation develop cult-like tendencies. This authoritarian environment degenerated into a perverse and unbiblical abuse of power. Obedience and unhealthy submission to leaders was cultish in many ways and the concept of submission for the purpose of 'spiritual covering' became a dominant theme in their teaching. This notion of spiritual covering soon perverted into a system of overt abuse of power over people's lives, and occurred despite opposition to the Shepherding movement from respected evangelical and Pentecostal leaders in the United States beginning as early as 1975. However, in Australia, through the Logos Foundation and Covenant Evangelical Church, this movement flourished well beyond the time that it had effectively entered a period of decline in North America. Followers in Australia, were quarantined by Carter from the truth of what had begun to play out in the U.S.A.

Other connections
The movement had ties to a number of other groups including World MAP (Ralph Mahoney), California; Christian Growth Ministries, Fort Lauderdale; and Rousas Rushdoony, the father of Christian Reconstructionism in the United States. Activities included printing, publishing, conferencing, home schooling, Christian music resources and ministry training. A large mail order business operated. Logos Foundation (Australia) and these other organizations at times issued both theological qualifications and other apparently academic degrees, masters degrees and doctorates following no formal process of recognised study or rigour, often under a range of dubious names that included the word 'University'. Carter conferred on himself a Master of Arts degree in 1987 which was apparently issued by the Pacific College Theological, a non-existent institution. Visiting preachers from the United States were frequently gifted such qualification awards by Carter including a PhD purportedly issued by the non-existent University of Oceania Sancto Spiritus (University of Oceania & the holy spirit). The recipient thereafter used the title of Doctor in his itinerant preaching and revival ministry throughout North America.

Demise, dissolution and ongoing influence today
The Shepherding movement worldwide descended into a cultish organization characterized by manipulative relationships, abuse of power and dubious financial arrangements. It had been an attempt by mostly sincere people initially, to free Christianity of the entrenched reductions of traditional and consumerist religion. However, with its emphasis on authority and submissive accountability, the movement was open to abuse. This, combined with spiritual hunger, an early measure of success and growth, mixed motives, and the inexperience of new leaders, all coalesced to form a dangerous and volatile mix. Howard Carter played these factors skillfully to entrench his own position. His frequent claims of 'personal revelations from God' were elevated by his followers as not only on a par with scripture but in practice regarded as beyond question over and above. The increased use of this practice in the final years of Logos, effectively heralded its shift from being simply a fundamentalist Christian renewal movement and into the overt traits of a cult.

The Logos Foundation and Covenant Evangelical Church did not survive long the scandal of Howard Carter's standing down and public exposure of adultery in 1990. Hey (2010) has stated in his thesis, "Suggested reasons for Carter's failure have included insecurity, an inability to open up to others, arrogance and over confidence in his own ability". Like many modern evangelists and mega-church leaders, he was placed on a pedestal by the movement's followers. This environment where the leader was not subject to true accountability, allowed his deception and double life to flourish unknown for many years. In the years immediately prior to this scandal, those who dared to question were quickly corrected by the group or even disciplined, thus reinforcing a very unhealthy environment. When the scandal of Carter's immorality was revealed, full details of the lavish lifestyle to which he had become accustomed were also exposed. Carter's frequent travel to North America was lavish and extravagant, utilizing first class flights and five-star hotels. The full financial affairs of the organization prior to the collapse were highly secretive. Most members had been unaware of how vast sums of money involved in the Logos operation were being channelled nor were they aware of how the leaders' access to these funds was being managed.

The remaining members started a new church, Toowoomba City Church, under the leadership of former Logos leader Ian Shelton. Ian's son Lyle Shelton (lobbyist) eventually became the managing director of the Australian Christian Lobby, a political lobby group that seeks to promote "Christian Values" and continues to push the same views as Logos regarding sexuality, abortion and religious freedom.

A significant number of quite senior ex-Logos members found acceptance in the now defunct Rangeville Uniting Church. Part of the congregation of the Rangeville Uniting Church left the Uniting Church in 1997 to form the Range Christian Fellowship in Blake Street Toowoomba, including a number of ex-Logos members.

Getter Robo G

Getter Robo G (ゲッターロボG), known as Starvengers in the United States, is a super robot anime series by Toei Animation based on Hundred Demons Empire arc of Getter Robo manga by Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa. This direct sequel to Getter Robo was broadcast on Fuji TV from May 15, 1975, to March 25, 1976, with a total of 39 episodes (some episodes were rebroadcast, erroneously giving the impression that there were 43 episodes).

Mattel's popular Shogun Warriors toy collection included Getter Robo G's robot formations in that toy line: Getter Dragon (Dragun), Getter Liger (Raider), and Getter Poseidon (Poseidon). As a result of the popularity of these toys in the US, Jim Terry included this series in his Force Five anime lineup under the title of Starvengers. Some Starvengers episodes were re-dubbed and released by FB Productions under the Robo Formers title. The original Getter Robo series, however, has yet to appear in the US (although the Shin Getter Robo OVAs have appeared). In the UK, Starvengers episodes were released on video by Krypton Force under the name Formators.

Plot
After the final defeat of the Dinosaur Empire and the death of Musashi Tomoe in the original Getter Robo series, Dr. Saotome (Dr. Copernicus in Starvengers), creator of Getter Robo, fears that the peace the Getter Robo team has won will be short lived and that even greater enemies will appear. Dr. Saotome's fears are justified when the Hundred Demon Empire (Hyakki Teikoku, also known as the Pandemonium Empire in Starvengers) appears. Composed of horned, devil-like alien humanoids and possessing a technology advanced enough to build giant demonic robots, this militaristic organization intends to steal Saotome's Getter Generator to fulfill their own goals of world domination.

However, Dr. Saotome is prepared with the creation of an even more powerful Getter Robo, Getter Robo G and a new Getter Robo base. Also, with Musashi dead, Dr. Saotome needs a third pilot, which he finds in baseball player Benkei Kuruma.

Getter Machines
Like its predecessor, Getter Robo G is composed of three jet-like vehicles piloted by one of the three pilots. Dragon is the red jet, controlled by the pilot of Getter Dragon. Liger, the blue jet, is used by Getter Liger's pilot. Getter Poseidon's operator uses Poseidon, the yellow machine. All three are armed with missiles but are generally very weak and never used in combat unless absolutely necessary. They also appear when the pilots use the Open Get (Break Formation in the English version) verbal command to break up the current form, so that they can change into another, or so they can dodge an enemy's attack.

 * Getter Dragon (formed from Dragon+Liger+Poseidon) - English Version - Star Dragon - piloted by Ryoma Nagare, English version - Homer Winthrow
 * Getter Liger (formed from Liger+Poseidon+Dragon) - English version - Star Arrow - piloted by Hayato Jin, but piloted by Michiru when Hayato is captured near the end. English version - Paladin Spencer
 * Getter Poseidon (formed from Poseidon+Dragon+Liger) - English version - Star Poseidon - piloted by Benkei Kuruma, English version - Elmer O. Fossil aka "Foul Tip"

Mecha Oni
Mecha Oni are the monsters of the week that appear much like the mechasauruses in the first series. It is stated and proven in a few episodes that destroying their horns will critically weaken, if not destroy, a Mecha Oni. Most Mecha Oni take up the likeness of their pilots, primarily in the head, with a few exceptions.

Basilic vein

The basilic vein is a large superficial vein of the upper limb that helps drain parts of the hand and forearm. It originates on the medial (ulnar) side of the dorsal venous network of the hand and travels up the base of the forearm, where its course is generally visible through the skin as it travels in the subcutaneous fat and fascia lying superficial to the muscles. The basilic vein terminates by uniting with the brachial veins to form the axillary vein.

Course
As it ascends the medial side of the biceps in the arm proper (between the elbow and shoulder), the basilic vein normally perforates the brachial fascia (deep fascia) superior to the medial epicondyle, or even as high as mid-arm.

Tributaries and anastomoses
Near the region anterior to the cubital fossa (in the bend of the elbow joint), the basilic vein usually communicates with the cephalic vein (the other large superficial vein of the upper extremity) via the median cubital vein. The layout of superficial veins in the forearm is highly variable from person to person, and there is a profuse network of unnamed superficial veins that the basilic vein communicates with.

Around the inferior border of the teres major muscle and just proximal to the basilic vein's termination, the anterior and posterior circumflex humeral veins drain into it.

Venipuncture
Along with other superficial veins in the forearm, the basilic vein is an acceptable site for venipuncture. Nevertheless, IV nurses sometimes refer to the basilic vein as the "virgin vein", since with the arm typically supinated during phlebotomy the basilic vein below the elbow becomes awkward to access, and is therefore infrequently used.

Venous grafts
Vascular surgeons sometimes utilize the basilic vein to create an AV (arteriovenous) fistula or AV graft for hemodialysis access in patients with kidney failure.

USS Zeilin (DD-313)

USS Zeilin (DD-313) was a Clemson-class destroyer in service with the United States Navy from 1920 to 1930. She was scrapped in 1930.

Description
The Clemson class was a repeat of the preceding Wickes-class destroyer although more fuel capacity was added. The ships displaced 1290 LT at standard load and 1389 LT at deep load. They had an overall length of 314 ft, a beam of 30 ft and a draught of 10 ft. They had a crew of 6 officers and 108 enlisted men.

Performance differed radically between the ships of the class, often due to poor workmanship. The Clemson class was powered by two steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by four water-tube boilers. The turbines were designed to produce a total of 27000 shp intended to reach a speed of 35 kn. The ships carried a maximum of 371 LT of fuel oil which was intended gave them a range of 2500 nmi at 20 kn.

The ships were armed with four 4-inch (102 mm) guns in single mounts and were fitted with two 1-pounder guns for anti-aircraft defense. In many ships a shortage of 1-pounders caused them to be replaced by 3-inch (76 mm) guns. Their primary weapon, though, was their torpedo battery of a dozen 21 inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes in four triple mounts. They also carried a pair of depth charge rails. A "Y-gun" depth charge thrower was added to many ships.

Construction and career
Zeilin, named for Jacob Zeilin, was laid down on 20 February 1919 at the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation yard in San Francisco, California; launched on 28 May 1919; sponsored by Mrs. William P. Lindley; and commissioned on 10 December 1920 at the Mare Island Navy Yard.

Following shakedown, Zeilin reported for duty with Division 33, Squadron 11, Destroyers, Battle Force, based at San Diego, California. For the next nine years, she operated out of that port, conducting maneuvers with the fleet and training with independent ships. On July 27, 1923, she suffered serious damage in a collision in fog in Puget Sound with transport USS Henderson (AP-1), bringing President Harding to Seattle. After repairs, she resumed duty with the Battle Force Destroyers.

On 22 January 1930, Zeilin was decommissioned at San Diego. Her name was struck from the Navy list on 8 July 1930, and she was subsequently scrapped by the Navy.

Short footage of her in action appears in the opening sequence of the 1935 film Miss Pacific Fleet.

Hadraniel

Hadraniel (or Hadrianiel among other variant spellings), whose name means "majesty [or greatness] of God", is an angel in Jewish Angelology assigned as gatekeeper at the second gate in heaven. He is supposed to be more than sixty myriads of parasangs (approximately 2.1 e6mi) tall and a daunting figure to face.

When Moses arrived in heaven to get the Torah from God, it was said that he was speechless with awe at the sight of Hadraniel. Hadraniel did not think Moses should have the Torah, and made him weep in fear, which caused God to appear and reprimand Hadraniel for causing problems. Hadraniel quickly decided to behave and acted as a guide for Moses. This was a great help, for (according to Zoharic legend) "when Hadraniel proclaims the will of the Lord, his voice penetrates through 200,000 firmaments." Also, according to the Revelation of Moses, "with every word from his (Hadraniel's) mouth go forth 12,000 flashes of lightning."

In Gnosticism Hadraniel is only one of seven subordinates to Jehuel, prince of fire (King, p. 15). In the Zohar (55b), Hadraniel speaks to Adam about Adam's possession of the Book of the Angel Raziel, which was said to contain secret information that not even the angels knew.

Brachial veins

In human anatomy, the brachial veins are venae comitantes of the brachial artery in the arm proper. Because they are deep to muscle, they are considered deep veins. Their course is that of the brachial artery (in reverse): they begin where radial veins and ulnar veins join (corresponding to the bifurcation of the brachial artery). They end at the inferior border of the teres major muscle. At this point, the brachial veins join the basilic vein to form the axillary vein.

The brachial veins also have small tributaries that drain the muscles of the upper arm, such as biceps brachii muscle and triceps brachii muscle.

Hoping the original notes were from friends or family of Mr. Dailey who still have access to the original research, if such research was done to support the "unsubstantiated statements" when they were originally entered.

The "unsubstantiated statements" were:

 * The 1920 census and Dailey's official enlistment record shows that he was born December 14, 1915, not 1913 as is sometimes reported.
 * Both the 1920 for New York City and 1930 Census for Nassau Co, New York list him as Daniel J Dailey, son of Daniel J & Helen Dailey - not James J Dailey as sometimes reported. His sister Irene also appears in the same 1930 census.
 * Dailey enlisted in the Army shortly after Pearl Harbor and attended Signal Corps Officer Candidate School at Fort Monmouth, NJ starting in September 1942. He was commissioned on Dec 12, 1942 and served until late 1946, when he was discharged as a captain.

Hope the original editors might see this and complete their work. Thanks. Jmg38 (talk) 06:07, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

Queen of Outer Space

Queen of Outer Space is a 1958 American science fiction film shot in DeLuxe Color and CinemaScope. Produced by Ben Schwalb and directed by Edward Bernds, it stars Zsa Zsa Gabor, Eric Fleming, and Laurie Mitchell. The screenplay by Charles Beaumont, about a revolt against a cruel Venusian queen, is based on an idea supplied by Ben Hecht and originally titled Queen of the Universe. Upon its release, the film was promoted by Allied Artists and distributed to some locations as a double feature with Frankenstein 1970 starring Boris Karloff.

Plot
In the year 1985, Captain Patterson (Eric Fleming) and his spaceship crew (Dave Willock, Patrick Waltz, and Paul Birch) take their rocketship to an Earth space station. En route, the space station is destroyed by an interstellar energy beam, which also damages their rocketship. The crewmen crash land on Venus and are quickly captured. They learn the planet is under the dictatorship of the cruel Queen Yllana (Laurie Mitchell), a masked woman who has most men killed, keeping only male mathematicians and scientists on a prison colony moon orbiting Venus. In the queen's palace, the astronauts are aided by a beautiful courtier named Talleah (Zsa Zsa Gabor) and her Venusian friends (Lisa Davis, Barbara Darrow, and Marilyn Buferd). The women long for the love and attention of men again and plot to overthrow the evil queen to reestablish the "old order".

Once Patterson is alone with the masked queen in her bedchamber, he has the opportunity to remove the mask, revealing her horribly disfigured face. This was caused by radiation burns received during a war between Venus and the men of another planet "10 Earth years ago". Later, in a fury, the queen decides she must destroy Earth in order to protect her world and preserve her power. In the presence of her armed guards, Talleah and the crewmen can only watch as she aims the energy-beam "disintegrator" at Earth. Just after Yllana activates the weapon, Talleah's allies arrive and a struggle begins. The disintegrator immediately begins to malfunction and finally explodes, killing Queen Yllana.

Talleah becomes the new leader of Venus. At a subsequent ceremony, she announces that Patterson's rocketship has been repaired and that he and his crew can now return to Earth. Talleah's technicians have also repaired the "electronic televiewer", which allows space command on Earth to contact Patterson. Command orders him not to attempt a return but to remain on Venus for at least a year, until an Earth relief expedition can arrive. Although the crew could return home in their repaired spaceship, they are elated to follow orders and stay. They begin celebrating with the Venusians in a flurry of hugs and passionate kisses.

Cast

 * Zsa Zsa Gabor as Talleah
 * Eric Fleming as Captain Neal Patterson
 * Dave Willock as Lt. Mike Cruze
 * Laurie Mitchell as Queen Yllana
 * Lisa Davis as Motiya
 * Paul Birch as Professor Konrad
 * Patrick Waltz as Lt. Larry Turner

 * Marilyn Buferd as Odeena
 * Mary Ford as Venusian
 * Marya Stevens as Venusian
 * Laura Mason as Venusian
 * Lynn Cartwright as Venusian
 * Kathy Marlowe as Venusian
 * Coleen Drake as Venusian

Cast notes: Also included in the cast are Guy Prescott as Colonel Ramsey (uncredited), Gerry Gaylor as the base commander, Ralph Gamble as the officer in the anteroom (uncredited), and Joi Lansing as an astronaut's girlfriend (uncredited). The Venusians are played by Tania Velia, Norma Young, Marjorie Durant, Brandy Bryan, Ruth Lewis, June McCall, and Marilyn Buferd, who was a former Miss America (1946). This was Buferd's final role in her decade-plus film career.

Production
The Three Stooges and the Bowery Boys director Edward Bernds recalled that, after producer Walter Wanger was released from prison for shooting agent Jennings Lang in the groin for having an affair with his wife Joan Bennett, Wanger could only find work at the low-rent Allied Artists (formerly Monogram Pictures). In 1952, Wanger brought a ten-page idea for a screenplay by Ben Hecht called Queen of the Universe that was a satirical look at a planet run by women. Several years later, with the idea of science fiction films being more common, Allied Artists revived the project with Wanger replaced on the film by Ben Schwalb, who was then producing the Bowery Boys films. Screenwriter Charles Beaumont did not think there was much in the Hecht screenplay, but Schwalb suggested spoofing the idea and had former Three Stooges screenwriter Ellwood Ullman touch up Beaumont's screenplay. Allied Artists retitled the film Queen of Outer Space as they thought the original title sounded more like a beauty pageant.

The central plot of a planet ruled by women was recycled from other science fiction features of the era, including Abbott and Costello Go to Mars (1953), Cat-Women of the Moon (1953), and Britain's Fire Maidens from Outer Space (1955). Queen of Outer Space also recycled many props, costumes, and other elements used in earlier films of the 1950s, most prominently the C-57D crewmen's uniforms, rayguns, and Altaira's wardrobe from Forbidden Planet (1956); models, sets, and special effects from Bernds' World Without End (1956); stock footage of an Atlas missile taking off; and a model rocketship built for Flight to Mars (1951). The model was also used by the Bowery Boys in Paris Playboys (1954), which was co-written by Bernds and Ullman. It is noteworthy, too, that the queen's guards wore uniforms that foreshadow (and may have even influenced) those worn on the later Star Trek television series, coming in the same three Starfleet colors; red, blue, and gold.

In her 1991 autobiography One Lifetime is Not Enough, Gabor recounts a memorable line of her dialogue in the film and cites the production costs for creating the highly tailored fashions worn by her character:"I made Queen of Outer Space, which was destined to become a classic. Written by Ben Hecht (of Front Page fame), Queen was one of the last films he wrote....I play [Talleah], a scientist who is against all of Queen [Yllana's] cruelties and wants to see her banished. The highpoint comes when I declare, 'I hate that queen', a line that even to this day causes a great deal of mirth among many of my gay friends. I liked Ben Hecht and adored my costumes, designed by Edith Head and costing a staggering $15,000 apiece."

Reception
In 1958, the film received generally positive reviews from critics in major newspapers and in trade publications. Most reviewers, including Charles Stinson of the Los Angeles Times, approached the film in their assessments as an amusing, mildly erotic parody or spoof, not as a true science fiction offering or even a faintly serious space adventure. In his November 13 review, Stinson characterizes the feature as "cheery frivolity" with "well-constructed cheesecake", all of which is visually punctuated by "luscious DeLuxe color". He even compliments Gabor's performance:"Fortunately, Allied Artists' 'Queen of Outer Space'...is not science fiction. Because if it were, it would be horrid. However...it is an elaborate parody of science fiction and, as such, it is quite good, indeed....Naturally, the one and only Zsa Zsa Gabor is the principal attraction. She comes through superbly, demonstrating a nice touch for light, dotty comedy, as, with hair gone moon-platinum, she floats about gauzily, tongue in cheek, flirting outrageously, satirizing herself and sighing deeply over the fact 'zat de qveen vil destroy ze planet Earss unless ve stop her, Capt. Patterson'. Zsa Zsa saves, of course." Marjory Adams, writing for The Boston Globe, also recognized the Gabor vehicle as a "merry spoof of science fiction" that no one either on the screen or in theater audiences takes seriously, especially with regard to the actors' lines. "The dialogue", notes Adams, "is of the sort which might be written by a high school freshman", adding "the only unexpected twist is [Zsa Zsa] isn't the queen". Variety, for decades a leading trade publication in covering the United States' entertainment industry, simply deemed Queen of Outer Space as "a good-natured attempt to put some honest sex into science-fiction".

In Canada in 1958, Mike Helleur, a reviewer for Toronto's The Globe and Mail, compares the film's portrayal of life on Venus to "living backstage at the Folies Bergère", complete with light entertainment and rather scantily clad young women, who in this case take a "slapstick romp" through a Venusian queen's palace. One of several oddities that Helleur notices in the film is Gabor's singular identity among all the planet's inhabitants met by the Earthlings: "She is...the only girl in Outer Space with a Hungarian accent".

As of 2019, Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an approval rating of 18% based on reviews from 11 critics.

"Morally objectionable"
The trade publication Motion Picture Daily reported in 1958 that the National Legion of Decency objected to the content of Queen of Outer Space. In its October 3 issue, less than a month after the film's release, the magazine provides a few examples of the Legion's classification system for judging a Hollywood production's level of "decency":"Two pictures were placed in Class B, as morally objectionable in part for all by the Legion of Decency, which reviewed seven films this week. In the B category are 'Man of the West' and 'Queen of Outer Space.' Objection to the first was explained thusly, 'the highly moral nature of this story is substantially marred by excessive brutality and unnecessary suggestiveness.' Of 'Queen,' the group said it contains 'suggestive costuming.'"

Kfar Darom

Kfar Darom (כְּפַר דָּרוֹם, lit. South Village) was a kibbutz and an Israeli settlement within the Gush Katif bloc in the Gaza Strip.

History
Kfar Darom was founded on 250 dunams of land (about 25 hectares or 60 acres) purchased in 1930 by Tuvia Miller for a fruit orchard on the site of an ancient Jewish settlement of the same name mentioned in the Talmud. Following the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine, Miller sold his land to the Jewish National Fund in 1946. A community was established on the land at the close of Yom Kippur on 5 and 6 October 1946, by Hapoel HaMizrachi's kibbutz movement as part of the 11 points in the Negev settlement plan. The community was named after a Talmudic-period village of the same name that was located near the site.

In the summer of 1948, after numerous battles, the community was abandoned following a three-month siege by the Egyptian Army during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. Following Israel's victory in the Six-Day War in 1967, and its subsequent occupation of the Gaza Strip, a Nahal military outpost was established at the site in 1970. In 1989, this was converted to a civilian community by the Israeli national unity government of Shimon Peres (Alignment) and Yitzhak Shamir (Likud).

The village also had an elementary school, a kollel for religious (adult married men) students and the "Torah and Land" Institute, for research into religious laws relating to agriculture in Israel. The visitor center contained the Garden of Commandments Museum, which illustrated commandments relating to the Land of Israel.

Disengagement
At the point of the disengagement plan in 2005, there were about sixty families, totaling about 330 people, who earned their living from the free working professions, agriculture, and a central packing center for the vegetables produced by the Gaza settler communities.

Metro Newspapers

Metro Newspapers, now known as Weeklys, is an American newspaper company based in San Jose, California.

It publishes five free alternative weekly newspapers in Northern California: Metro Silicon Valley, Good Times, the Pacific Sun, East Bay Express and the North Bay Bohemian; and ten community newspapers: the Gilroy Dispatch', Healdsburg Tribune, the Hollister Free Lance, the King City Rustler, the Los Gatan, the Morgan Hill Times, Salinas Valley Tribune, Aptos Life, The Pajaronian and Press Banner.

Together, the publications reach a weekly audience of about half a million people, according to The Media Audit. Weeklys also operates digital publishing businesses.

The alt weeklies are free-distribution, tabloid-sized newspapers emphasizing news and analysis, local coverage and in-depth coverage of arts, culture and entertainment. The Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Hollister, Watsonville, Salinas Valley and King City community newspapers are larger format broadsheet publications that are home delivered.

Alternative Weeklies
The Pacific Sun is the longest published alternative weekly in the United States. https://pacificsun.com/alt-together-now/

The Metro weekly began celebrating its 25th year starting in March 2009, making it the most established free weekly in the South Bay Area of Northern California. Metro Silicon Valley was one of the first newspapers to publish Matt Groening's Life in Hell, long before he created The Simpsons, and Rob Brezsny's Real Astrology.

Good Times, founded in 1975, won the top award in the California Journalism Awards two years in a row and is the largest circulation newspaper in Santa Cruz County, California.

The company has a number of notable alumni, including British television journalist Louis Theroux, New York Times opinion writer Michelle Goldberg, News Director of Vice News Michael Learmonth, typographer Conor Mangat and film producer Zack Stentz

Community Weeklies
The company first began publishing community newspapers in 1990 with the purchase of the Los Gatos Weekly and Los Gatos Times-Observer, to form the Los Gatos Weekly-Times. During the 1990s the Silicon Valley Community Newspaper group expanded to include Saratoga News, Campbell Reporter, Cupertino Courier, Sunnyvale Sun and the Willow Glen Resident. It was sold to a company executive on Dec. 17, 2001.

Thirteen years later, when Weeklys, then known as Metro Newspapers, acquired Santa Cruz's Good Times on March 31, 2014, it also purchased the seller's Gilroy, Morgan Hill and Hollister newspapers and re-entered the community publishing arena. It later acquired long established titles in Watsonville, Scotts Valley, the Salinas Valley and Healdsburg, and opened a publication in Los Gatos. The Healdsburg rescue attracted national interest after the purchase occurred within days of the 157-year-old publication's shutdown by a nonprofit owner. "We are surprised, gratified and a little astonished," said Nancy Dobbs, president of the board of directors of Sonoma County Local News Initiative, which sold the newspaper's assets to Weeklys.

History
In 1984 Dan Pulcrano put together a group of local Silicon Valley and entertainment industry investors and recruited LA Weekly executive David Cohen as co-publisher to launch Metro. From on initial circulation of 40,000 it grew to approximately 100,000.

In 1990, Metro acquired Los Gatos Weekly, a newspaper Pulcrano had founded eight years earlier, and the Chicago Tribune-owned Los Gatos Times-Observer. The two were merged to become Los Gatos Weekly-Times. The acquisition was the beginning of Metro's expansion into community journalism.

A second alt weekly, Metro Santa Cruz, began publishing in 1994. The same year, Metro Newspapers purchased the Sonoma County Independent, which, in October 2000, expanded its distribution to cover Napa and Marin counties and is now published under the North Bay Bohemian flag.

In March 2009, on the publication's 15th anniversary, Metro Santa Cruz was renamed Santa Cruz Weekly. In March 2014, Metro Newspapers acquired Good Times, the Gilroy Dispatch, the Hollister Free Lance and the Morgan Hill Times, and merged Good Times and the Santa Cruz Weekly.

In 2015, Metro acquired the Pacific Sun; the Bohemian ceased distribution in Marin County and increased its Sonoma County and Napa County distribution.

In 2020, the company introduced the Weeklys brand, acquired the East Bay Express, launched East Bay magazine and acquired the Scotts Valley-based Press Banner.

In 2021, Weeklys acquired LunaGraphica Inc, a Silicon Valley design firm, which now operates as Metro.Agency. Cindy Couling, President of LunaGraphica, became the Director of Creative Services for Weeklys and Metro.Agency.

In 2022, an affiliate of Weeklys acquired Bay Area Parent from Dominion Enterprises.

The company is operated by its founder and longtime executive editor, Dan Pulcrano.

Silicon Valley Community Newspapers
Metro developed a group of weekly community newspapers, including the Los Gatos Weekly-Times, Saratoga News, Campbell Reporter, Willow Glen Resident and Sunnyvale Sun. Under Metro's ownership, the group won numerous awards, including the California Newspaper Publishers Association's "General Excellence" award in its Better Newspapers Contest. On December 17, 2001, Cohen, a co-founder of Metro, bought the group, which at the time included six publications and left to run Silicon Valley Community Newspapers as an independent company. Cohen sold it three years later to Knight Ridder which sold the group to McClatchy Corp. McClatchy immediately resold SVCN to Dean Singleton's MediaNews Group. In 2014, Bay Area News Group marketing director Erika Brown announced that the newspapers would be distributed to subscribers of the Mercury News, rather than generally to homes in the community.

Early online player
Metro was an early participant in the online publishing revolution, in 1993 launching the Livewire online service, one of the first online efforts by a non-daily newspaper publisher. The service offered free email accounts, online commerce, chats, posting forums, and online articles.

Virtual Valley, a similar service with an emphasis on covering Silicon Valley communities, was launched the following year and helped put the city governments of San Jose, Milpitas and Los Gatos online. Also in 1994, Metro established Boulevards, a network of web sites, each covering a major U.S. metropolitan area, that pre-dated Citysearch and Microsoft's short-lived "Sidewalk" service.

In 1995, Metro launched the online version of the newspaper on the web under the brand Metroactive that included several of its newspapers papers and later included a downloadable edition in PDF format.

Awards
Metroactive has received several awards for its work, including:
 * Six papers in the Metro Newspapers group were honored for writing, editing and design at the California Newspaper Publishers Association Better Newspapers Awards, July 1997.
 * Three papers in the Metro Newspapers group won at the National Newspaper Association's 1995 contest, announced September 1996.
 * Five papers in the Metro Newspapers group were honored for writing, editing and design at the California Newspaper Publishers Association Better Newspapers Awards, July 1996.
 * Metro Silicon Valley won two awards at the California Newspaper Publishers Association Better Newspapers Awards, October 2008.

Talk:NASA Astronaut Group 2

Unluckiest group?
Can anyone verify the statement that four of the nine died in training accidents? It doesn't seem to match up. - JM

The following text has been deleted, since it is incorrect; of Group 2, only Elliott See died in a training accident. White died in the Apollo 1 fire; Pete Conrad died a few years back following a motorcycle accident. The other six are, at the time of this writing (27.7.05) still alive. I believe the reference is to Astronaut Group 3. In any case, references to "luck" or the lack thereof seem out of place in this type of article. - RandomCritic - The Next Nine was a notoriously unlucky group, as four of the nine recruits died in training accidents. -

Thanks for the fix, RandomCritic. - JM

Merge
There has been no comments on whether or not to merge these pages, so unless someone has some objection I will redirect the New Nine article to this one. JM 23:11, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Yes re-direct. I never heard use of the 'New Nine' tag for Group 2 any way.

There is some evidence referenced in A. Smith's 'Moondust' and depicted in the series 'From the Earth to the Moon' that the reason group 2 stands out by comparison to group 1 was that a number of the group had passed on the first NASA call as they did not want to be just 'spam in the can' so arguably this group really was 'the best of the best'.

 * I have merged the topics, but the format (by which I mean appearance) of the page isn't very easy to read (for me at least). Can anyone suggest a better way to organize the information? -Jokermage 19:25, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Best class opinion?
There is a quote by Michael Collins in his book that this was, in his opinion, the best astronaut class, better than the original 7 or the ones that followed (including his own class, the third picked). Worth including?DrBear (talk) 15:00, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * For the record, this is now included.  Kees08  (Talk)   08:15, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

First to exchange crews?
I removed: "Commander, first mission to dock two manned spacecraft in Earth orbit and exchange crews. " from Jim McDivitt. Soyuz 4 and Soyuz 5 did it a couple of months earlier. Might could say something else, such as commanded the first mission to test the Lunar Module. Bubba73 (talk), 02:29, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, they were docked, but did an EVA to transfer to the other spacecraft. Apollo 9 was the first to do it without going outside.  Perhaps it could be phrased that way??  Bubba73 (talk), 02:36, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Astronaut Chart
The chart linked on this page (and other pages) is the most convoluted thing I've ever seen. A chart should be easy to understand and you shouldn't put every tiny piece of information you can think of in it. It clutters it up and makes people not want to use it at all. The small preview pic will dissuade people from wanting to find out more except as a curiosity: "Why would someone make a chart like this, I've got to check this out". 72.177.54.190 (talk) 05:22, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
