Christian Rock Hard

"Christian Rock Hard" is the ninth episode of the seventh season and the 105th overall episode of the American animated series South Park. It originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on October 29, 2003.

In the episode, the kids start a rock band, but concerned with the fact that people will potentially download their music from the Internet illegally, they refuse to play. Meanwhile, Eric Cartman starts his own Christian rock band, called Faith + 1.

The episode satirizes famous artists who have spoken out against copyright infringement, such as Metallica, and also serves as a commentary on how most musicians do what they do mainly for profit gains. Christian rock music is also parodied as being identical to love songs, except for referencing Jesus in their lyrics.

Plot
Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Kenny McCormick and Eric Cartman form a band called Moop, but disagree on what direction they should take, as they all like different types of music. Cartman, suggesting that the band should play Christian rock, bases his reasoning on the easy success that the genre has, referring to the success of the Christian rock band Creed as his pitch. However, Kyle disputes this, saying that Christian rock is a terrible idea. The disagreement becomes so heated that Cartman leaves, but not before betting he will have a platinum-selling Christian rock album before Kyle's band does. Seeking inspiration, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny illegally download music from the Internet. They are immediately arrested by the FBI and are told of the serious consequences of illegal downloading, namely forcing musicians like Lars Ulrich (drummer of metal band Metallica), Britney Spears, and Master P to lose so much income from music piracy that they must either downgrade their extremely lavish purchases to very-slightly less lavish ones or save up until they can afford all of what they want. As a result, Moop decides to go on strike until fans stop downloading illegally and are joined by a large number of musicians, including Britney Spears, Ozzy Osbourne, Missy Elliott, Master P, Blink-182, Metallica, Alanis Morissette, Meat Loaf, Rancid, and even Skyler's band, the Lords of the Underworld.

Meanwhile, Cartman enlists Butters Stotch and Tolkien Black to form his new band. Realizing that Christian rock is a perennial top seller, Cartman decides that his band, which he has christened Faith + 1, will join the Christian music racket. Cartman builds the band's repertoire by simply taking vague, generic pop love ballads and changing references like "baby" to "Jesus". While effective, the band eventually comes under some scrutiny when one of the songs involves more passionate and sexual lyrics involving Christ. Cartman manages to manipulate his way out, and the band builds a considerable following.

Before long, Faith + 1 celebrates the sale of its millionth album. By this time, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny decide that the satisfaction of having fans should be more critical to musicians than fighting against the fans who make them famous and go to see their concerts. They decide that touring still brings in revenue and call off their strike. However, the other musicians do not follow suit, because, according to Britney Spears, "we're just about the money."

Cartman has spent all the money made from their album on a lavish, extravagant awards ceremony to celebrate Faith + 1's success and specifically to insult Kyle for losing the bet to Cartman. However, Cartman's jubilation is short-lived. As it turns out, Cartman is told that Christian record companies only hand out gold, frankincense and myrrh records, so Faith + 1, as Christian artists, will never have a platinum album (which is not true in real life), meaning that Kyle technically did not lose the bet and never will. Cartman, enraged at this turn of events, destroys the band's Myrrh album award, screaming "Goddammit!" and "Fuck Jesus!" This blasphemy causes the horrified fans to scream and flee.

When Tolkien angrily chastises Cartman for driving away their fans, Cartman insults him by calling him a "black asshole." In response, Tolkien assaults Cartman on the stage before walking away. Believing that Cartman got what he deserved, Stan, Kenny, and Kyle also leave. As Cartman lies moaning in pain on the stage, Butters approaches him meekly. He then farts in Cartman's face, gives him the finger, and says, "Fuck you, Eric," before walking away himself, leaving Cartman all alone to recover from his pain and humiliation.

Home media
"Christian Rock hard", along with the fourteen other episodes from The complete seventh Season, was released on a three-disc DVD-set in the United States on March 21, 2006. The sets included brief audio commentaries by Parker and Stone for each episode. IGN gave the season an 8/10.

The episode is also included in the 2005 DVD South Park: The Passion of the Jew, alongside the titular episode and "Red Hot Catholic Love".

Hydralazine

Hydralazine, sold under the brand name Apresoline among others, is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. This includes high blood pressure in pregnancy and very high blood pressure resulting in symptoms. It has been found to be particularly useful in heart failure, together with isosorbide dinitrate, for treatment of people of African descent. It is given by mouth or by injection into a vein. Effects usually begin around 15 minutes and last up to six hours.

Common side effects include headache and fast heart rate. It is not recommended in people with coronary artery disease or in those with rheumatic heart disease that affects the mitral valve. In those with kidney disease a low dose is recommended. Hydralazine is in the vasodilator family of medications, so it is believed to work by causing the dilation of blood vessels.

Hydralazine was discovered while scientists at Ciba were looking for a treatment for malaria. It was patented in 1949. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. In 2021, it was the 106th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 6million prescriptions.

Medical use
Hydralazine is not used as a primary drug for treating hypertension because it elicits a reflex sympathetic stimulation of the heart (the baroreceptor reflex). The sympathetic stimulation may increase heart rate and cardiac output, and in people with coronary artery disease may cause angina pectoris or myocardial infarction. Hydralazine may also increase plasma renin concentration, resulting in fluid retention. To prevent these undesirable side effects, hydralazine is usually prescribed in combination with a beta blocker (e.g., propranolol) and a diuretic. Beta-blockers licensed to treat heart failure in the UK include bisoprolol, carvedilol, and nebivolol.

Hydralazine is used to treat severe hypertension, but is not a first-line therapy for essential hypertension. Hydralazine is often used to treat hypertension in pregnancy, though, with either labetalol and/or methyldopa.

Hydralazine is commonly used in combination with isosorbide dinitrate for the treatment of congestive heart failure in black populations. This preparation, isosorbide dinitrate/hydralazine, was the first race-based prescription drug.

It should not be used in people who have tachycardia, heart failure, constrictive pericarditis, lupus, a dissecting aortic aneurysm, or porphyria.

Adverse effects
Prolonged treatment may cause a syndrome similar to lupus, which can become fatal if the symptoms are not noticed and drug treatment stopped. Hydralazine is within the top three drugs that is known to induce systemic lupus and this adverse drug event is dose dependent yet significant.

Very common (>10% frequency) side effects include headache, tachycardia, and palpitations.

Common (1–10% frequency) side effects include flushing, hypotension, anginal symptoms, aching or swelling joints, muscle aches,  positive tests for atrial natriuretic peptide, stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, and swelling (sodium and water retention).

Interactions
It may potentiate the antihypertensive effects of:

 * Vasodilators
 * Calcium antagonists
 * ACE inhibitors
 * Diuretics
 * Antihypertensives
 * Tricyclic antidepressants
 * Major tranquillisers
 * Ethanol (alcohol)
 * Diazoxide

Drugs subject to a strong first-pass effect such as beta blockers may increase the bioavailability of hydralazine. The heart rate-accelerating effects of epinephrine (adrenaline) are increased by hydralazine, and coadministration may lead to toxicity.

Mechanism of action
Hydralazine is a direct-acting smooth muscle relaxant and acts as a vasodilator primarily in resistance arterioles, also known as the smooth muscle of the arterial bed. The molecular mechanism involves inhibition of inositol trisphosphate-induced Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in arterial smooth muscle cells. By relaxing vascular smooth muscle, vasodilators act to decrease peripheral resistance, thereby lowering blood pressure and decreasing afterload.

Metabolic products include the N-acetyl derivative, pyruvic acid hydrazone, and acetone hydrazone, each of which may also contribute to reducing blood pressure.

Chemistry
Hydralazine belongs to the hydrazinophthalazine class of drugs.

History
The antihypertensive activity of hydralazine was discovered by scientists at Ciba, who were trying to discover drugs to treat malaria; it was initially called C-5968 and 1-hydrazinophthalazine; Ciba's patent application was filed in 1945 and issued in 1949,  and the first scientific publications of its blood pressure-lowering activities appeared in 1950. It was approved by the FDA in 1953.

It was one of the first antihypertensive medications that could be taken by mouth.

Research
Hydralazine has also been studied as a treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome in its capacity as a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor.

Joseph Firth

Joseph "Pentland" Firth (25 March 1859 – 13 April 1931) was a New Zealand educationalist and teacher. He was the headmaster of Wellington College from 1892 to 1920. He was born and died in Wellington.

Early life and family
Born in Wellington on 25 March 1859, Firth was the son of Aaron Firth, a stonemason, and Ann Firth (née Priestnell). The family moved to Cobden on the South Island's West Coast during the West Coast Gold Rush of 1864 to 1867.

On 8 May 1889, Firth married Janet McRae at the Church of St Michael and All Angels, Christchurch. The couple did not have any children.

Education and teaching career
Firth won a scholarship to Nelson College, and was a pupil there from 1873 to 1875. He taught there as a pupil-teacher until 1881, when he went to Wellington College as a junior master. In 1886, he took up a post at Christ's College, Christchurch, and began studying for his BA at Canterbury College, graduating in 1889. He was asked to become headmaster of Wellington College in 1892.

Among the boys at Wellington College he gained the nickname "Pentland" from his teaching about the troubles the Spanish Armada encountered around Pentland Firth in the north of Scotland. Thereafter he signed his name "J.P. Firth".

Cricket
Firth played six first-class cricket matches between 1880 and 1886, five for Wellington and one for Nelson. By far the best performance of his career came for Wellington against Hawke's Bay in February 1884, when he ran through the second innings with figures of 8 for 13. Captaining Wellington against Nelson in March 1885, he opened both batting and bowling, taking 3 for 27 and 2 for 19 and making 20 and 54, the highest score in the match. In the second innings he and William Salmon put on 100 for the first wicket, the first century stand made by Wellington batsmen for any wicket.

International Olympic Committee
Firth was the representative from New Zealand on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) from 1923 to 1927; his appointment by the IOC was delayed as he was quoted in a local newspaper that he was the delegate from New Zealand before he went (representatives are appointed by the IOC itself, not by the national Olympic committee).

Honours
In the 1922 King's Birthday Honours, Firth was appointed a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George, for public services.

Death
Firth suffered from Parkinson's disease, and he died in Wellington on 13 April 1931.

Oil in place

Oil in place (OIP) (not to be confused with original oil-in-place (OOIP)) is a specialist term in petroleum geology that refers to the total oil content of an oil reservoir. As this quantity cannot be measured directly, it has to be estimated from other parameters measured prior to drilling or after production has begun.

Prior to oil production from a new reservoir, volumetric methods are used to estimate oil-in-place. A series of test drills are used to map the rock conditions at and around the drilling site and to estimate the size of the oil-bearing rock field. The oil in place is calculated as the product of the volume of porous oil-bearing rock, the porosity of the rock, and its saturation. Correction factors have to be applied for the difference between the volume of the same mass of oil in the reservoir to its volume when brought to the surface, which is caused by the different physical conditions (temperature, pressure) there.

Oil-in-place is also known as stock tank original oil-in-place (STOOIP) or stock tank oil-initially-in-place (STOIIP), referring to the oil in place before the commencement of production. In this case, stock tank barrels refers to the volume of oil after production, at surface pressure and temperature (as opposed to reservoir conditions).

After production has begun, the change in reservoir pressure over time and the history of production from that reservoir can be used to estimate the total oil-in-place using the materials balance method. Alternatively, the production history can be fitted to a curve to estimate future oil production (decline curve method).

The analogous term original gas-in-place (OGIP) is used to refer to the total natural gas in a reservoir. Furthermore, there is a term called Hydrocarbons Initially in Place (HCIIP) that is used for either oil or gas. Similar to OIP, HCIIP is calculated using measures of the total reservoirs volume correcting for the non reservoir rock, the porosity and the water saturation in this pore space. Lastly the volume at reservoir conditions (high pressures and temperatures) is converted to the associated volume at surface conditions.

Oil in place must not be confused with oil reserves, that are the technically and economically recoverable portion of oil volume in the reservoir. Current recovery factors for oil fields around the world typically range between 10 and 60 percent; some are over 80 percent. The wide variance is due largely to the diversity of fluid and reservoir characteristics for different deposits.

Destroy the Machines

Destroy the Machines is the debut studio album by American metalcore band Earth Crisis, it was released in 1995. It is widely considered a landmark release in metalcore.

Music and lyrics
Earth Crisis recorded Destroy the Machines in the studio of progressive thrash metal band Believer in Pennsylvania, being introduced to them by friend Jim Winters of Conviction, who also toured with Earth Crisis. Guitarist Scott Crouse, who admired Believer, was inspired by them to practice arduously and improve his technique. On the album, the band determined to make the songs sound like "somebody continuously hitting something with a hammer", picturing every song as "pounding, pounding, [and] pounding." MetalSucks described Destroy the Machines as a "hardcore take on the Pantera/Exhorder/Prong school of late 80s-early 90s power groove thrash".

Commenting on the lyrics, Allmusic stated that "[they] burn with resentment directed at those who (in the estimation of vocalist Karl Buechner) bring contamination and death to the earth and the defenseless creatures that reside on it." The overall theme is an approaching ecological apocalypse, the destruction of defenseless creatures, self-destruction, and a means of liberation which is proposed as being veganism and straight edge. By the time of the tour in 1995, Buechner was personally taking care of twelve rescued animals from Syracuse Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, where he volunteered.

Legacy
In April 2018, NME named Destroy the Machines one of the fifteen best hardcore punk albums of all time. Kerrang! placed it among "The 21 Best U.S. Metalcore Albums of All Time." In 2017, Loudwire ranked Destroy the Machines 7th on its list of the best metalcore albums of all time. Dan Gump of Life Sentence Records named it the most representative album of the 1990s.

The Duch band Born from Pain and the Argentinian band Nueva Ética ("New Ethic" in Spanish) are named after songs from the album. In March 2015, celebrating the release of The Discipline EP which re-released songs from Destroy the Machines, several musicians and animal right activists paid tribute to it, including Davey Havok of AFI, Andy Hurley of Fall Out Boy, Peter Daniel Young and Toby Morse of H2O.

The song "Forced March" was covered by Between the Buried and Me on their 2006 album The Anatomy Of. "Born from Pain" was covered by Eighteen Visions on their covers album 1996 (2021). "The Wrath of Sanity" was covered by First Blood on their 2012 album FBI Vol. 1. "The Wrath of Sanity" is quoted in the songs "No Contest" (2005) by Gather and "Rules of Conviction" (2017) by First Blood and Jesse Barnett, the latter of which was dedicated to Earth Crisis and Path of Resistance. Maroon quotes Destroy the Machines in their 2006 song "24HourHate".

An increase of animal rights activism corresponded with the rise of vegan straight edge bands during the 1990s, a phenomenon which activist Peter Daniel Young attributes largely to Destroy the Machines.

1972–73 WHA season

The 1972–73 WHA season was the first season of the World Hockey Association (WHA). Twelve teams played 78 games each. The league was officially incorporated in June of 1971 by Gary Davidson and Dennis A. Murphy and promised to ice twelve teams in various markets around Canada and the United States. The league championship trophy, the Avco World Trophy, was donated by AVCO Financial Services Corporation along with $500,000. The New England Whalers won the first Avco World Trophy.

1972 General Player Draft
The WHA's inaugural player draft was held in Anaheim, California on February 12 and 13, 1972. All 12 WHA franchises took part in the draft. There were no drafting constraints, and the WHA teams selected players from all levels of play, including established National Hockey League players, minor leaguers, college, junior players, Europeans, and even retired players. The first player selected in the general draft was United States men's national ice hockey team member Henry Boucha, taken by the Minnesota Fighting Saints (who also selected the Governor of Minnesota, Wendell Anderson, with a late pick). After 70 rounds the Winnipeg Jets selected Soviet premier Alexei Kosygin and then stopped participating in the draft, while the other teams continued making selections. This process continued, with teams arbitrarily dropping out from the draft, while others kept going, until attrition finally ended the process. The final two teams participating in this draft were the Dayton Aeros and the Los Angeles Sharks. In all, just under 1100 selections were made by the 12 teams, who could now focus their efforts on signing players for the first season of play.

Regular season summary
The first WHA games, on October 11, 1972, were won by the Alberta Oilers 7–4 over the Ottawa Nationals and the Cleveland Crusaders 2–0 over the Quebec Nordiques.

The WHA was split into two divisions, the Eastern Division and the Western Division. Each division sported six teams. The New England Whalers led the Eastern Division and had the best record in the league. The other playoff qualifiers in the East were Cleveland, Philadelphia, and Ottawa. The Winnipeg Jets led the Western Division and had the second best record in the league. Behind Winnipeg, the West had a thrilling race with four teams fighting for three playoff spots, trading second through fifth place all season. Houston won three of its last four games to finish second with 82 points. With two games remaining, Minnesota had 79 points, Alberta had 77, and Los Angeles had 76. Los Angeles won their last two games to finish third, while Minnesota and Alberta both lost their next to last game of the season, setting up a final game showdown in Minnesota against each other with Minnesota two points ahead of Alberta. Alberta won the game 5-3, so both teams finished with identical records. The league now faced a dilemma. The first standings tiebreaker was number of wins, and the teams both had 38. The second tiebreaker was head-to-head record and the teams split their eight games with four wins apiece. The league by-laws did not specify further tiebreakers. In the NHL, the next two tie breakers were goal differential and goals scored, both of which favored Alberta. But because the WHA by-laws did not specify additional tiebreakers, the league Board of Governors met to decide how to break the tie. They ultimately decided on a 1-game playoff at a neutral site. The Alberta Oilers missed the playoffs, despite having a superior goal-differential to the Minnesota Fighting Saints, because they lost the neutral-site, tie-breaking game against the Saints in Calgary by a score of 4-2.

All-star game
The WHA held its first all-star game on January 6, 1973, in Quebec City. The attendance of 5,435 was lower than expected, perhaps because it was locally televised and Quebec City was hit by a major snow storm. The East defeated the West 6–2. Wayne Carleton of the Ottawa Nationals was named the game MVP.

During the all-star break, the WHA Players' Association was officially formed, with Curt Leichner of Portland as general counsel and Bill Hicke of the Alberta Oilers as president.

Playoff summary
Compared to the thrilling race in the West Division, the playoffs were unexciting in that the team with the better record won every series and only one series went beyond 5 games. That was the West semifinal between Houston and Los Angeles. After getting blown out in game one in Houston by a score of 7–2, Los Angeles rallied to win game two 4–2 and even the series. The Sharks then won a thrilling game three in L.A. 3–2. Game 4 was the turning point of the series. The teams headed into overtime tied at 2; a Houston goal would even the series while a Los Angeles goal would give the Sharks a commanding 3–1 series lead. The Aeros scored in overtime to even the series, then won game 5 in Houston, 63. Game six in L.A. was another thriller, with Houston scoring in the final minutes to win the game 3–2 and win the series.

Avco World Trophy finals
New England Whalers defeated the Winnipeg Jets, 4 games to 1. The Whalers defeated the Jets 9–6 in the deciding game in Boston on May 6, 1973, with Larry Pleau scoring a hat trick. Upon their win, The Avco World Trophy had not yet been completed. As a result, the Whalers skated their victory lap with their divisional trophy.

Debuts
The following is a list of players of note who played their first major professional game in 1972–73 (listed with their first team, asterisk(*) marks debut in playoffs):

 * Mike Antonovich, Minnesota Fighting Saints

Ylva Johansson

Ylva Julia Margareta Johansson (born 13 February 1964) is a Swedish politician who has been serving as European Commissioner for Home Affairs and Swedens European Commissioner in the von der Leyen Commission since 1 December 2019.

Johansson was previously Minister for Schools from 1994 to 1998, Minister for Welfare and Elderly Healthcare from 2004 to 2006 and Minister for Employment from 2014 to 2019 in the Government of Sweden. She was Member of Parliament representing Stockholm Municipality, from 1988 to 1991 for the Left Party – Communists and from 2006 to 2019 for the Social Democrats.

Education and early career
Johansson studied at Lund University and the Stockholm Institute of Education between 1983–88 and 1991–92 respectively, and holds a Master of Science degree in education. Upon graduating, she worked as a math, physics, and chemistry teacher.

Early beginnings
In the 1988 general elections Johansson was elected as a member of the Riksdag for the Left Party – Communists (VPK). She later left the party and joined the Social Democrats.

From 1992 to 1994 Johansson worked as a teacher, until Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson made her Minister for Schools in his government. In 1998, she and the then Minister for Finance Erik Åsbrink announced their wish to "publicly confirm that we are in love" and their intention to separate from their respective partners. Soon afterwards, Johansson left the government. The following years, she worked in the private sector.

In 2004, Prime Minister Göran Persson appointed Johansson to the government in a new position, as Minister for Health and Elderly Care, succeeding Lars Engqvist.

Minister for Employment, 2014–2019
From 2014, Johansson served as Minister for Employment in the government of Prime Minister Stefan Löfven. During her time in office, she worked to tighten labor immigration laws.

In the 2013 Social Democrat party congress, the goal was set that Sweden should have the lowest rate of unemployment in the EU. While the Social Democrats and Green Party were in power, unemployment decreased more in other EU countries than Sweden and by 2019, Sweden's place in the unemployment ranking slipped to 18 with an unemployment rate of 6.2%, where the first spot was occupied by Czech Republic at 1.7%.

Member of the European Commission, 2019–present
Following the 2019 European elections, Löfven nominated Johansson as Sweden's candidate for the post of European Commissioner.

During a question & answer session in October 2019 in the European Parliament, Johansson was asked on whether Swedish policy on gang crime and migration would be exported to the EU level. Johansson responded that she was "proud that Sweden received so many refugees".

In early March 2020, Johansson was appointed by President Ursula von der Leyen to serve on a special task force to coordinate the European Union's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In September 2023, more than 120 boats carrying around 7,000 migrants from Africa arrived on the Italian island of Lampedusa in the span of 24 hours. Johansson said that "We are seeing a really challenging situation in Lampedusa. This is a European matter that needs a European response."

Political positions
Johansson has been described as the "left wing of the Social Democrats".

In a September 2020 EU debate on the new migration pact she said "we have a lot of migration to the European Union, and we need that" because of the ageing of Europe, while also noting that "those that are not eligible to stay, they have to leave; not everybody that has a right to apply for asylum has the right to stay in the European Union".

In 2024 Fabrice Leggeri recalled back when he was director of Frontex and requested funding, Johansson asked why he needed uniforms and guns - since the refugees eventually came because of "love".

Surveillance of private chat communication
In May 2022, Johansson proposed an EU "Child Sexual Abuse Regulation" introducing an obligation for companies to monitor all private chat communication, including pictures, for possible hints at child abuse and report any findings to the authorities. The proposed legislation faced widespread criticism and was described as introducing mass surveillance. The scientific service of the German Bundestag evaluated the proposal and concluded it was illegal due to necessitating blanket surveillance of private communication, the impossibility to differentiate legal and illegal communication and harmful effects on communication by and between children. Johansson defended her proposal to scan all electronic chats as not introducing surveillance, which was - among other claims - described as untrue or at least misleading. Research by several newspapers led to allegations of questionable connections between Johansson and her staff and companies that would benefit financially from her proposal, including Thorn and WeProtect. Johansson rejected the accusations as being untrue, true but not illegal and as not even being accusations. Her claim to have given data protection organizations the same access as to the backers of her proposal was rejected as untrue by several organizations and members of the EU parliament. Johansson reacted to growing rejection of her proposal by ordering commercial advertisement on Twitter paid for with EU funds. The advertisement was criticized as being misleading and illegal according to the EU's rules for targeted advertisement.

Personal life
Johansson has two children with her former husband Bo Hammar and a son with Erik Åsbrink. She is an honorary member of the Swedish football club Hammarby IF.

Mexican Imperial Orders

There were three Imperial Orders of the Mexican Empire, which were Orders of chivalry created to reward Heads of state and prominent people during the two periods of the Mexican Empire—the Imperial Order of Guadalupe (Orden Imperial de Guadalupe), the Imperial Order of the Mexican Eagle (Spanish: Orden Imperial del Águila Mexicana), and the Imperial Order of Saint Charles (Spanish: Imperial Orden de San Carlos).

Imperial Order of Guadalupe

 * Imperial Order of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Mexico) - ribbon bar.gif The Order of Guadalupe (originally: "National Order of Our Lady of Guadalupe") was established by Emperor Agustín I of Mexico in the autumn of 1821, although its statutes would not be published until February 1822. It was originally divided into two classes: Grand Cross and Numerary Member. After the death of the Agustin I, the Order fell out of use and remained inactive for 30 years until Antonio López de Santa Anna convinced Pope Pius IX to recognize it in 1854. It fell into disuse again in August of that same year after the successful Ayutla Revolution and the ousting of Santa Anna from government. The third and last period of the Order began on June 30, 1863, before the arrival of Maximilian I of Mexico, by decree of the Provisional Imperial Government.

Emperor Maximilian I modified the statutes of the Order for the last time on April 10, 1865, renaming the order "Imperial" (instead of "National") and divided it into four ranks, each with civilian and military divisions:
 * Grand Cross, limited to 30 recipients.
 * Grand Officer, limited to 100 recipients.
 * Commander, limited to 200 recipients.
 * Knight, limited to 500 recipients.

 * Grand Crosses
 * François Achille Bazaine
 * Carlota of Mexico
 * Frederick III, German Emperor
 * Gabino Gaínza
 * Alexander Gorchakov
 * Alexander von Humboldt
 * Isabella II of Spain
 * Salvador de Iturbide y Marzán
 * Agustín Jerónimo de Iturbide y Huarte
 * Kamehameha V
 * Leopold I of Belgium
 * Richard von Metternich
 * Napoleon III
 * Napoléon, Prince Imperial
 * Queen Victoria
 * Grand Officers
 * Commanders
 * Louis Antoine Debrauz de Saldapenna
 * Ludwig von Fautz
 * Knights
 * Luigi Calori
 * Vicente Filísola
 * Unknown Classes
 * Vicente Guerrero
 * Agustín de Iturbide
 * Gustave Léon Niox
 * Wilhelm von Tegetthoff

Imperial Order of the Mexican Eagle

 * Imperial Order of the Mexican Eagle - ribbon bar.jpg The Imperial Order of the Mexican Eagle was created by Maximilian I on January 1, 1865. It consisted of two classes: the Superior Class only available to Heads of State, awarded a Grand Cross with Collar; and the Ordinary Class, consisting of the following ranks:
 * Grand Cross
 * Grand Officer
 * Commander
 * Officer
 * Knight

The award survives partially (in name at least) in the modern Mexican Order of the Aztec Eagle.

Imperial Order of Saint Charles

 * Imperial Order of Saint Charles (Mexico) - ribbon bar.gif The Imperial Order of Saint Charles was created by Maximilian I on April 10, 1866. It was awarded exclusively to women who excelled in the service of their community. The Order honoured Saint Charles Borromeo, Patron Saint of Empress Carlota, sovereign of the Order. It was divided into two classes: the Grand Cross, awarded to only 24 Ladies; and the Cross, without any limit upon the number of women who might receive it.

Grand Crosses
Some Ladies Grand Cross of the Order of Saint Charles include:
 * Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom
 * Elizabeth of Bavaria, Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary (Sissi), consort of Franz Joseph I of Austria, Charlotte's sister-in-law

Slipback

Slipback is a radio audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who, produced by the BBC and first broadcast in six episodes on BBC Radio 4 from 25 July to 8 August 1985, as part of a children's magazine show called Pirate Radio Four. It was later released on cassette and CD, most recently by BBC Audio and free with the 27 April 2010 edition of The Daily Telegraph newspaper via WHSmith.

Synopsis
The Sixth Doctor and Peri arrive on a mysterious space liner, where intergalactic policemen are investigating art thefts, a computer is suffering from a split personality and the Captain's disease threatens every living thing on the ship…

Production
Slipback was broadcast on BBC Radio 4, four months after the final episode of Doctor Who's twenty-second season, during the programme's enforced hiatus, the next season not airing for another a year and a half. It was the first Doctor Who serial produced as a radio play (an earlier audio production, The Pescatons, was released as a story record). No further radio productions were mounted until the mid-1990s when Jon Pertwee reprised his role as the Third Doctor in two productions, The Paradise of Death and The Ghosts of N-Space.

Writing
The story was written by series script writer Eric Saward, whose writing credits include The Visitation, Earthshock, Resurrection of the Daleks and Revelation of the Daleks.

Cast note
Valentine Dyall played the Black Guardian in the television series. Dyall died on 24 June 1985, just 14 days after Slipback was recorded, and a month before Slipback aired.

In print
A novelisation by Eric Saward was published by Target Books in April 1986, the first novelisation of a non-televised Doctor Who story. Saward's novelisation expands on the radio play greatly, with an extensive prologue running about a third of the book before the Doctor appears and the adaptation of the radio play storyline begins.

Audio releases
Slipback was released on 7 November 1988 on a double audio cassette along with the 1978 LP version of Genesis of the Daleks. It was subsequently released as a standalone CD on 8 January 2001.

Television in Slovenia

The following is a list of television stations in Slovenia. The channels are being broadcast in Slovenia and are sorted by regions of coverage and type of content the channels broadcast. The list does not contain internet-only television stations.

Analog television
Television in Slovenia was first introduced in 1958. The first TV station in Slovenia was JRT TV Ljubljana 1 (now RTV Slovenija - TV Slovenija 1) in 1958. In 1970 JRT TV Ljubljana 2 (now TV Slovenija 2) was launched and TV Slovenija 3 in 2008. Colour television broadcasts began in 1976.

The first private TV station Kanal A was launched in May 1991, just about a month before the country's independence from Yugoslavia. The second private channel POP TV was launched by the company PRO PLUS d.o.o. in December 1995. TV3 was also launched in 1995, and was originally owned by the Roman Catholic Church. It had a poor viewership until Ivan Ćaleta, a businessman from Croatia, purchased 75% ownership of the channel in 2003, and started to offer more popular programming. Kanal A became the sister channel of POP TV in 2001, when Pro Plus took over the channel. TV3 became the new player on the market, when Swedish company MTG bought it in 2006. On 29 February 2012, it ceased broadcasting due to uncompetitive environment and unresponsiveness of Slovenian authorities.

Slovenia used the analogue PAL standard until December 1, 2010 when analog broadcasting ceased and was replaced with DVB-T.

DVB-T
Experimental DVB-T broadcasts began in 2001 using the MPEG-2 standard. In 2007 the Slovenian government decided to test DVB-T transmission in Ljubljana using the MPEG-4 standard, following the approval of the APEK (Agency for Post and Telecommunications Republic of Slovenia), now AKOS (Agency for Communication Networks and Services).

After that Radiotelevizija Slovenija had to determine which transmitter would be used for the 3-month test. They settled on the transmitters made by a Slovene company, Elti, who produces analog and digital TV transmitters. After the test, the RTV SLO decided to expand transmissions to TV SLO 2. In 2008, the RTV SLO launched a new channel: TV SLO 3 (a public affairs channel) to its digital offering. High-definition broadcast with AC-3 was experimented during the Beijing 2008 olympic games. The 2010 Winter Olympic Games were also broadcast in HD.

Currently, there are two multiplexes operating, Mux A and Mux C.

Mux A
The operator is Radiotelevizija Slovenija. Mux A is intended for public programs.

Channels

 * TV SLO 1 HD
 * TV SLO 2 HD
 * TV SLO 3 HD
 * TV Maribor
 * TV Koper - Capodistria
 * Vaš kanal (in Lower Carniola, Upper Carniola, Central Slovenia, Lower Sava Valley and Central Sava Valley)

Mux C
Started on October 14, 2013. The operator is Radiotelevizija Slovenija. Mux C is intended for commercial programs. In January 2022, pay-TV channels, offered by the operator Innet TV were added.

Hey Joshua,

Welcome to Wikipedia! Here are some links that I find useful/interesting:

 * List of WikiProjects - this is a great page to give you an idea of how to plug into a broader project. I find I'm much more motivated to contribute if I'm involved with a whole group of people working towards a specific goal. WikiProject Stub sorting and [] are to projects that I've contributed to that have reached their goals and/or made significant gains.
 * Village pump - a good way to get a sense of community life on wikipedia.
 * wikilove - page that attempts to sum up and define what motivates wikipedia users and brings them all together. Best line: "We love accumulating, ordering, structuring, and making freely available what knowledge we have in the form." Wikilove compltely caught me by surpise last year when I started contributing, but I've quickly become an enthusiast, if not an addict.
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense - a page of what not to post to wikipedia articles. Some are funny, some are not. The best ones have been turned into uncyclopedia.
 * [Wikistats for wikipedia] - fascinating statistics which chart the run away growth of wikipedia, both in usage and participation in editing. This chart is pretty amazing too.

Well, that's enough to get you started. I hope you have as much fun here as I do. mennonot 12:57, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Chevrolet Equinox

Available Engines
In this article, the current (2017 to present) 3rd Generation Equinox is reported herein NOT to be available with a V6 engine; this is incorrect. The 2017's were indeed available with GM's High Feature 301 HP LFX 3.6L V6 engine. The V6 engine option was dropped only for the 2018 & 2019 model years. The following sentence should therefore be removed, and the 3.6L added as an available engine option: "The 3.6L V6 engine option did not carry on to the third generation." Perhaps replace with "The 3.6L v6 engine option did not carry on to the 2018 and later models."

However, the issue may actually be that the "Third Generation" Equinox actually runs from 2018 - Present, (not 2017 - Present, as currently listed). In fact, the 2nd Generation Equinox is listed in this very same article as running from 2010 - 2017, inclusive. Most other sources site the 3rd generation as beginning in 2018, not 2017. So perhaps just change this section to read "Third Generation (2018 - Present)", and all would be good. For reference, see the Wikipedia Article, GM High Feature Engine, LFX section, Applications, 2013-2017 Equinox.--Nitrorat (talk) 01:43, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Explaination of edits
I changed the Simialar category to a more accurat list of vehicles. Bok269 22:12, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Predecessor
The Equinox has been called the successor to the Tracker. Should it say both in the info box? Bok269 22:15, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

 * The Equinox is a mid-size SUV, and it is larger than both Blazer & Tracker, the SUV's predecessors. The TrailBlazer, introduced in 1999 was actually Chevrolet's add for an SUV and slot between the Tahoe and Blazer.  The Equinox isn't a proper replacement for the Tracker, but it's a proper replacement for the S-10 Blazer. GM is looking for a proper Tracker replacement on the Sub-Theta platform. -- Bull-Doser 02:40, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * You got several things wrong. First off, the TrailBlazer appeared in 2002, not 1999. Second, the TrailBlazer was made to replace the Blazer (just look at the name), and the Equinox is considered a replacement for the Tracker as the Equinox is similar in size to the Tracker and appeared shortly after the Tracker was discontinued. --ApolloBoy 03:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The Equinox is much bigger than the Tracker, but is definitely the closest Chevrolet to its replacement. IFCAR 13:25, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

MPG Claims
I've been noticing that certain users have been vandalizing this page by listing false MPG listings (much lower than EPA ratings.) The EPA Ratings which can be found at http://www.epa.gov are as follows. I will put this information here as quick reference if this page gets defaced again:

2005-2007 Chevrolet Equinox (1st Generation) 3.4L V6 (LNJ) FWD - 19 city US / 25 hwy US 3.4L V6 (LNJ) AWD - 19 city US / 25 hwy US

2008-2009 Chevrolet Equinox (1st Generation) 3.4L V6 (LNJ) FWD - 17 city US / 24 hwy US 3.4L V6 (LNJ) AWD - 17 city US / 24 hwy US 3.6L V6 (LY7) FWD - 16 city US / 24 hwy US

2010-present Chevrolet Equinox (2nd Generation) 2.4L I4 (SIDI) FWD - 22 city US / 32 hwy US 2.4L I4 (SIDI) AWD - 20 city US / 29 hwy US 3.0L V6 (SIDI) FWD - 17 city US / 27 hwy US 3.0L V6 (SIDI) AWD - 16 city US / 24 hwy US —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pairwatcher (talk • contribs) 07:50, September 23, 2009

 * You had the highway figures before "(city)" for each engine; I've corrected that and put in both figures. Also, the EPA site now shoes the V6 FWD mileage at 17/25 rather than 17/27. --Vossanova o< 15:03, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

 * The fuel consumption converter in the 2010 section was set to display the long-obsolete "Imperial mpg" in addition to the weird Canadian "L/100km" which nobody uses. I adjusted to converter to display real-world units (mpg-US and km/L).Santamoly (talk) 06:20, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Questionable EPA ratings
I added a section quoting several road tests which have shown a discrepancy between the EPA ratings and realistic user mileage. I cited three articles from major auto news outlets, so if anyone thinks this is too controversial for Wikipedia please note why before editing. Bdc101 (talk) 17:41, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it's okay as long as the references are there. You are simply pointing out that other sources have achieved certain test results, and not making any claims of your own (e.g. "The Equinox is not a fuel efficient vehicle").  I did fix up the references and section formatting. --Vossanova o< 17:55, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Awesome. Thanks for cleaning up the references, I'll make sure to use footnotes next time. Bdc101 (talk) 18:13, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

2013 refresh

In 2013, the Equinox undergoes the LTZ features resumed—the 2013 refresh was changed. LT and LTZ trim levels have the High Feature LFX engine. The LS and LTZ now have fog lights resumed on LT and LTZ. The key to the interior was the optional MyLink reversed with technology. The backup camera, last year will be revised to have full-capacity directions for safety.

This refresh will only affect models branded starting the 2014 model year. Hence, the facelifted 2014 Equinoxes will reach the market in late 2013.

Merger proposal
I propose that Pontiac Torrent be merged into First Generation Chevrolet Equinox because the Pontiac Torrent is nothing more than a rebadged first generation Chevrolet Equinox. VX1NG (talk) 12:15, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

 * I respectfully disagree. They may be "Badge Engineered", but they are still two different models from two different brands.  Merging all of the badge engineered vehicles would create quite a mess, since you have multiple generations with different badge engineered offspring.  In the case of the Equinox, you would have to merge the Pontiac Torrent for the first gen and then merge the GMC Terrain for the second gen.  Not to mention the gray-area of similar platform-mates, such as the Suzuki XL7 in the first gen.  It would be nearly impossible to draw a consistent line as to what should and should not be merged...and this would have to go back to the 1960s for GM vehicles.  This would just add unnecessary confusion across the board.
 * Abright52 (talk) 02:33, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Abright52, Please do not take this as an attack, I am just trying to fully explain my argument for merging the two. With that said, the common accepted definition of badge engineering is vehicles that share the same body structure but differ in names, fascias, and available options. With that definition in mind the GMC Terrain and the second generation XL7 would not be merged with the Chevrolet Equinox because those would be example of platform sharing which is not the same as badge engineering. The idea behind merging of badge engineered vehicles is to cut down on unnecessary redundancy. Regards, VX1NG (talk) 18:55, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Also disagree with the merger request. "Badge-engineering" has been common, and all models are not merged together. There can be a fine line between definitions of badge-engineered and platform sharing, and the two listed above would be have fuzzy differences. Scoty6776 (talk) 13:28, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Merger proposal, June 2018
I see that this was brought up before. This should be a no-brainer. Jgera5 (talk) 22:08, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

How about we not merge two different cars on to one thread ya fucking twatwaffle

 * +1 For merging > First generation (2005–2009), They share same dimensions, engines, transmissions and most likely parts. The Torrent was essentially a spin-off of the latter - why not merge both? There are also no citations on the Pontiac Torrent article. No need for arguments, but it is a bit old now... — Preceding unsigned comment added by NiceCandy23 (talk • contribs) 15:57, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

NPOV?
Wikipedia core content policies regarding NPOV states:

"Articles that are written like advertising would fall in this ["POV" problem...biased article...written from a single perspective] category."

I was jolted when I read this article because its tone and balance for information seemed very different from a typical Wikipedia article.

Does anyone think that this does not sound like "advertising"? :

"The Equinox is the first crossover SUV from Chevrolet, marketed by GM as a compact SUV. Riding on GM's Theta platform, the unibody Equinox is mechanically similar to the GMC Terrain, Saturn Vue, Pontiac Torrent, and the 2007 Suzuki XL7. However, the Equinox and the Torrent are larger than the Vue, riding on a 112.5 in (2,858 mm) wheelbase, 5.9 in (150 mm) longer than the Saturn. Front-wheel drive is standard, with optional all-wheel drive. The Equinox is not designed for serious off-roading unlike the truck-based Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevrolet TrailBlazer. For the 2006 model year, GM updated the Equinox for the first time, as GM badges were added on the front doors."

Is "unibody" in your dictionary, or is this just a catchy-sounding made-up word used by advertising types that sounds cool, but no one actually knows what it means?
 * Any well-informed car buyer would know about 'unibody'. 66.81.244.74 (talk) 21:06, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

There are a lot of other catchy-sounding words, even if they are real words, unlike "unibody."

While this is just one example of the frequently glowing and flowery language used throughout the article, there does not appear to be any place given to criticisms and shortcomings of this vehicle at all aside from some squibbing about the gas mileage. Unless this is a perfect vehicle, I would expect to see some criticisms balancing the enthusiastic tone of the article.

This may require discussion, but I would definitely think this article needs a POV-check template soon. Please let me know if anyone objects to this, and please explain to me if this is really a balanced, NPOV article. Thanks!

Ryvr (talk) 18:22, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

 * It may also be noteworthy that the brands "Saturn" and "Pontiac" repeatedly mentioned throughout the article are owned by the same corporation, General Motors, which owns the Chevrolet Equinox brand which is the subject of this article. The article consistently compares this automobile model to other models made by the same corporation. This sounds more like a General Motors sales showroom than an encyclopedic article to me.

 * I am going to proceed with adding the request for POV review.

 * I could cite additional specific examples, but I believe that almost every sentence in the article chooses marketing-oriented adjectives over encyclopedic adjectives, uses automotive sales jargon, or favorably mentions only other products by the same company. This is a pervasive issue, so for additional examples, just look at any sentence in the article, and the lack of any criticism or reasons why someone might choose not to purchase this vehicle. I would think it would also be helpful if products from different companies were used in some of the comparisons. If you read this article, you might think that the only product that beats a GM product is a GM product.

Robert Havard

Dr. Robert Emlyn Havard (1901–1985) was the physician of C. S. Lewis, his wife Joy Gresham, and J.R.R. Tolkien. Havard has also been credited as a "skilled and prolific writer".

Interactions with other writer
In addition to his medical research papers, Havard authored an appendix for C. S. Lewis's The Problem of Pain as well as a description of Lewis included in Remembering C. S. Lewis: Recollections of Those Who Knew Him and one of J. R. R. Tolkien included in Mythlore.

Lewis invited Havard to join the Oxford-based Inklings because of the literary interests he shared with that group. Like Tolkien, he was a Roman Catholic. Havard was sometimes referred to by the Inklings as the "Useless Quack," mainly because Warren Lewis once called him so upon being irritated by his tardiness, and his brother, Jack, thought it quite amusing at the time and caused the nickname to continue. The abbreviation "U.Q." was thereafter a common reference to Havard.

Hugo Dyson once called him "Humphrey" when he could not remember his name. After that, Havard was quite frequently known as "Dr. Humphrey Havard," to the extent that when Douglas Gresham came to know him years later and became his patient, it was some time before he discovered Robert Havard's actual name was not really Humphrey.

Adrabaecampi and Parmaecampi

The Adrabaecampi (Ἀδραβαίκαμποι) and Parmaecampi (Παρμαίκαμποι, Parmaikampoi) were two divisions of the Kampoi (Κάμποι), a tribe of greater Germany who, according to Ptolemy, dwelled on the north bank of the Danube south of the Gabreta Forest after the Marcomanni and Sudini.

They were located, per Ptolemy, immediately north of the Danube and south of Bohemia, i.e. in the immediate vicinity of the Roman imperial border. The name Kampoi is traced back to the Celtic river name Kamp (from Celtic *cambo, "curved"). The Chamb, which flows into the Regen near Cham, and the Kamp in Lower Austria are considered tributaries of the Danube that flow on the left side. The Kambaioi, an Illyrian people, have a related name. The derivation of the names of the Kampoi tribes from Latin campi (fields) is implausible, as no good sense can be made of the prefixes adrabae and parmae. The second hase been linked to Gallo-Latin parma, round shield.

The names have been treated as corruptions of Latin Altera Camba and Prima Camba, referring to two rivers or tributaries. Accordingly, the Parmaikampoi would be the people or tribal group located on the first river named Kamp and the Adrabaikampoi would be located on the second river of the name. In any case, the Adrabaikampoi cannot be located far from Kamp in Lower Austria, as they are the next people to settle south of the Gabreta Forest (Bohemian Forest).

David M. Satterfield

David Michael Satterfield (born December 18, 1954) is an American diplomat and ambassador, who has served extensively in the Middle East, including the Persian Gulf area, Lebanon, and Iraq. He later served as a senior advisor on Iraq for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and was director general of the Multinational Force and Observers, the peacekeeping force for the Sinai Peninsula from June 2009 until August 2017. He was chargé d'affaires to Egypt from August 2013 to January 2014 and was subsequently Special Advisor to the Secretary of State for Libya. From September 2017 to June 2019 he served as the acting assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs, and was confirmed as U.S. ambassador to Turkey on June 27, 2019.

On February 15, 2019, President Donald Trump announced his intention to appoint Satterfield as the next United States Ambassador to Turkey, succeeding John Bass. On May 17, 2019, U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley placed a hold on Satterfield over a dispute with the State Department regarding a new terrorism bill. On June 27, 2019, Satterfield was confirmed by the Senate.

In January 2022, David Satterfield became the new U.S. envoy for the Horn of Africa, a position he held until June 2022. On May 31, Rice University announced that Satterfield would become the new director of Rice University's James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy, succeeding Edward Djerejian.

During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, Satterfield served as the inaugural Special Envoy for Middle East Humanitarian Issues from October 2023 to April 2024.

Biography
Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Satterfield graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park, with a bachelor of arts in 1976.

He entered the Foreign Service in 1980, and has served overseas in Jeddah, Tunis, Beirut, Algiers, Damascus, and Baghdad. Director of the Department of State executive secretariat staff from 1990 to 1993, Satterfield served on the National Security Council staff from 1993 to 1996 as director for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs. He held the position of director of the Department of State’s Office of Israel and Arab-Israeli Affairs from 1996 to 1998, and was the ambassador to Lebanon from September 1998 to June 2001.

The United States Senate confirmed Satterfield to succeed Edward William Gnehm Jr. as ambassador to Jordan, but shortly thereafter (on June 1, 2004) the secretary of state designated him principal deputy assistant secretary for Near Eastern Affairs (having served for the previous three years as NEA deputy assistant secretary), and in May 2005 he was sent to Iraq as deputy chief of mission with rank of ambassador. As a result, he never assumed his post in Jordan. On May 19, 2006, the Department of State announced Satterfield’s appointment as coordinator for Iraq and senior adviser to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

In May 2009, Satterfield retired with the rank of career minister from his nearly thirty-year career in the Foreign Service. Upon nomination by the U.S. government, he was then appointed director general of the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO), an independent international organization, by the Arab Republic of Egypt and State of Israel, and assumed office on July 1, 2009. The MFO, whose mission is the implementation of the security provisions of the Egyptian-Israeli Treaty of Peace, is headquartered in Rome, with peacekeeping responsibilities in the Sinai. The director general is responsible for exercising his authority through his staff at the headquarters in Rome, the force commander and his staff in the Sinai, and the director general’s representatives and their staffs in Cairo and Tel Aviv. Satterfield returned to the Foreign Service and served as chief of mission in Cairo from August 2013 to January 2014 and was special advisor to the secretary of state for Libya from May to September 2014. On September 5, 2017, he returned to active duty as a senior foreign service officer and was appointed to serve as assistant secretary of state (acting) for Near Eastern Affairs.

On 10 January 2022, Satterfield was appointed U.S. special envoy for the Horn of Africa, replacing Jeffrey Feltman. Satterfield was replaced by Mike Hammer in June 2022; Satterfield left U.S. Government service on June 30, 2022.

Since July 1, 2022 Satterfield has been Director of Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Affairs, located on the Rice University campus in Houston.

In the aftermath of the October 7 attacks in Israel, Satterfield was appointed by President Biden on 15 October 2023 to the newly-created position of Special Envoy for Middle East Humanitarian Issues to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. On 25 April 2024, Satterfield was replaced by Lise Grande.

Personal life
Satterfield speaks Arabic, French, and Italian.

Ambassador Satterfield is the recipient of the:
 * Presidential Distinguished Executive Rank Award;
 * Presidential Meritorious Executive Rank Award;
 * The Secretary of State's Distinguished Service Award (for Iraq service);
 * Department of State Distinguished Honor Award;
 * Four Department of State Superior Honor Awards, notably for his work on the Middle East peace process;

agree
agree with JButler, film style and film theory are separate categories, not sure how to fix this problem. Article also has no signs of drawing attention to the intense debates that have existed in film theory, the academic founding of film studies (as a result of film theories significance and acceptance into the academies?), and more recent developments in film theory, ie David Bordwell's classical Hollywood cinema, formalist and cognitive film theories (possibly separate articles that can be linked to this page?).

--Jwmcglone 15:32, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

I would divide the theoretical discussion into continental and analytical traditions. The attention to the theoretical basis would solve much around these issues. For example, cognitive film theorists (e.g. Bordwell, Grodal) are working in analytical tradition whereas gaze and apparatus theorists are continentally inclined.

Elements of style in a movie
(Note : this suggestion has also been posted on Film theory. Actually, I don't know where this request fits best).

It would be cool to provide an (almost) exhaustive list of what can be discussed in a movie, as well as examples of typical movies of such styles. Comment: there can't be an exhaustive list of this kind because there have been more than 90 years filled with writing on cinema and films.

Example :
 * Rythm : alternance of quiet and active times (or whatever :-). Example of a movie with a remarkable rythm : The big sleep
 * Field depth (DoF) : See main article field depth. Example of a movie with low field depth : whatever. Example of notable field depth effects : whatever

This is the thrust of what I'd like to accomplish with a new website I just set up - wikifilmschool.com, if anybody is interested in participating. HamillianActor 00:15, 19 June 2006 (UTC) GAGA IS THE BEST

Don't know how active this area is, but coming from a theatre background I'm surprised to find that this page doesn't lay out broad areas of inquiry - iconography, genre criticism, cinematography, editing and montage theory, etc. Deeply immersed in theatre articles, so can't do it myself, unfortunately. Anyone able to flesh that out a little? DionysosProteus 16:32, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Is Siegfried Kracauer a realist or formalist?
It seems to me that the quote "Siegfried Kracauer. These individuals emphasized how film differed from reality," on this page directly contradicts the quote on the Kracauer wikipage: "In 1960, he released Theory of Film: The Redemption of Physical Reality, which argued that realism is the most important function of cinema."

Shouldn't Kracauer be considered a realist instead of a formalist? I not familiar with the works of Kracauer so I can't be sure about this. Can anybody shed light on the subject? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.219.172.194 (talk) 10:28, 29 April 2007 (UTC).

 * i see no contradiction. emphasizing on how film differs from reality is one of the issues realism theory should deal with. capi (talk) 14:45, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Contemporary film theory informed by psychoanalysis
Contemporary film theory informed by psychoanalysis didn't stop with Mulvey. It seems that each time a theorist is added to the page after Malvey, he (or she) is immediately deleted, even though Mulvey made her major contribution some 30 years ago. In the last twenty years, both Slavoj Žižek and Bracha Ettinger had become important influences in film theory. With Žižek, the male "phallic" gaze is emphasized, and with Ettinger a feminine gaze ("the matrixial gaze"), which is different to Mulvey's and Žižek's "male" gazes, is opened. I suggest that the addition of these two major theorists will stay and not be deleted. They have reached notablity and are important for students in the field.

Criticism Section
I think the criticism section needs a lot of work. It seems to consist of one filmmaker ridiculing the terminology. Can anyone find some more thorough critiques of film theory? David Delony (talk) 01:28, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

 * I agree. The main problem with Weddle's criticism is that he mistakes film theory for filmmaking.  These are two wildly different programs:  film theory deals with academic dissection of film, and filmmaking deals with the processes of making film.  Weddle uses both interchangeably and uses his own profession to discredit an academic program that he really has no understanding of.  Nor does his article really go into reasonable depth.  Like literary theory, film theory also takes into consideration that the person/people making the film are also exposing more about their mentality subconsciously through making the film than they do intentionally, making Weddle's complaints about film theory 'not preparing my daughter for a career in film' very misguided.

 * In short, Weddle's article doesn't really have anything to do with film theory. It has to do with his wild misunderstandings of film theory without any real proof towards the discipline.  The only arguments he provides are ad hoc statements towards the University of California at Santa Barbara, not with anything even remotely related to film theory as a practice.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zbu (talk • contribs) 18:01, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Authors and theorists that should be mentioned:
I want to preface this by saying that I don't really understand wikipedia, its rules and regulations and that I simply wanted to contribute a comment on a few omissions of what I have studied myself at different educational institutions about the theory of film.

The following authors, who are not in this article, are definetely relevant to film theory: — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sakaa (talk • contribs) 16:40, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Vachel Lindsay
 * Hugo Munsterberg
 * Jean Mitry

Major overhaul: Irrelevant material
The sections on "Post-war film", "Film Noir" (which is mostly about the French New Wave), "Italian neorealism", and "Japanese Formalism" are about national film movements, not theories. And the section labeled "Genre films" is actually about post-WW I German films. Consequently, I have removed these sections.
 * I see now that these sections were added by a new Wikipedia editor. I'll add info to his/her talk page to try to mentor his/her Wikipedia editing.--Jeremy Butler (talk) 12:56, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Name dispute
This category should be Computer Systems Architect--Gorgonzilla 13:06, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Merge with pioneers?
Should this category be merged with Category:Computer pioneers? That category is much better populated with the same type of people. Dyl 17:51, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Nope, I don't think such a merge would be correct, as the computer pioneers also, importantly, include people who has made early seminal contributions in theoretical fields of computing (as well as computer design as such, which is the inclusion criterium of the present, narrower, category). --Wernher 23:22, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

AIM-82

The AIM-82 was a missile planned by the US Air Force but cancelled before any prototypes were built. It was designed as a much more maneuverable replacement for the AIM-9 Sidewinder to give it better performance against enemy fighter aircraft in close combat. Development was cancelled in favor of joining the US Navy's similar project, the AIM-95.

Overview
In 1969 the USAF was developing the F-15 Eagle fighter. Planned as the ultimate air superiority aircraft, the F-15 was intended to be as perfect as possible in every respect. Rather than rely on the existing AIM-9 Sidewinder, it was decided to develop an entirely new short-range air-to-air missile to equip the aircraft. The AIM-82 was to be an infrared-guided, all-aspect missile, capable of locking onto the target from any angle; Sidewinders of this period could only achieve a target lock if fired from almost directly behind the target where the heat of the engines provided a large infrared signature to the missile's seeker head.

In 1970 a development contract was awarded to General Dynamics, Hughes Aircraft and Philco-Ford. Proposals were submitted later that year, but in that September the AIM-82 was canceled. The main reason was the existence of the United States Navy AIM-95 Agile program, which was developing a new short-range air-to-air missile for the F-14 Tomcat. Inter-service rivalry aside, there seemed little point in developing two missiles to perform essentially identical roles, so development on the AIM-95 was authorized. Eventually, the AIM-95 was also canceled and the AIM-9 was updated to remain in service—and indeed remains in service to this day.

Specifications
The AIM-82 was canceled at a stage where the basic design had not been selected; as a result, no specifications exist for the proposed missile.
