Donny Schmit

Donny Schmit (January 17, 1967 – January 19, 1996) was an American professional motocross racer. He competed in the  AMA Motocross Championships from 1986 to 1989 and, in the Motocross World Championships from 1990 to 1994. Schmit was notable for being a two-time motocross world champion, winning the 125cc title in 1990 and the 250cc championship in 1992.

Motorcycle racing career
Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Schmit started racing when his father bought him a Honda XR75. He signed with Kawasaki’s Team Green as an amateur. In 1986, Schmit turned pro, winning two AMA 125cc West Region Supercross races in his first season on the pro tour.

In 1987, Schmit signed with Suzuki, winning the AMA Motocross National in the 125cc division at Anderson, South Carolina. Schmit also won the 125 national at his home circuit in Millville and finished the year ranked fifth.

By 1988, Schmit was racing in the 250cc AMA Supercross division, but was injured and decided to stay with outdoor motocross. That season, Schmit had seven podium finishes in AMA 125 motocross, including a Millville victory, and finished runner-up to George Holland. He was AMA's Rookie of the Year. Schmit left Suzuki after 1988 and rode the AMA outdoor nationals as a privateer. He finished 1989 ranking fourth in the AMA 125 Motocross; he was the top-ranked non-factory rider. At the season's end, Team Bieffe Suzuki offered Schmit a sponsorship to ride in the Grand Prix world championships. Schmit was an immediate success, winning the 1990 125cc world championship.

In 1991, Schmit was injured at the Hungarian Grand Prix, causing him to miss much of the remaining season. In 1992, Schmit rode for Chesterfield Yamaha, and won his second world title, along with five 250 GP wins. He rode for Chesterfield Yamaha for two seasons, finishing third in 1993 and seventh in 1994. At the end of the 1994 season, Schmit retired from full-time racing.

In 1995, Schmit returned to the AMA Nationals at Millville, finishing fourth place for Honda of Troy. He also won the four-stroke Motocross Championship for CCM in San Bernardino, California.

Schmit died on January 19, 1996, from aplastic anemia, after his wife Carrie rushed him to the hospital with a severe headache. He had been awaiting a bone marrow transplant.

His 15 career victories in World Motocross Grand Prix were a record for an American rider. In 2002 Schmit was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame. A jump at his hometown track in Millville, Minnesota, "Holy Schmit" is named in his memory.

Land and hold short operations

Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO, pronounced "La-So") is an air traffic control procedure for aircraft landing and holding short of an intersecting runway or point on a runway, to balance airport capacity and system efficiency with safety.

Its use is voluntary: if a pilot denies LAHSO clearance the Air Traffic Controller must revector the aircraft to ensure adequate separation from other aircraft landing or departing an intersecting runway or crossing down field. Due to the inherent risk of simultaneous runway operations, a heightened level of situational awareness is necessary, and student pilots or pilots not familiar with LAHSO should not participate in the program.

Although used in the US, many countries do not permit LAHSO clearances, and some airlines' operating procedures do not allow their acceptance in countries that do permit them.

LAHSO was previously called SOIR (Simultaneous Operations on Intersecting Runways), and incorporates and expands all SOIR definitions.

Types
There are three main types, to land and hold on the runway:
 * Intersecting Runway: before the intersection with another runway that will have another aircraft taking off or landing.
 * Intersecting Taxiway: before the intersection with a taxiway that will have other aircraft taxiing for takeoff or parking.
 * Point on Runway: before a designated point. This is the newest type, used when safety precautions are needed due to hazards concerning other runways or taxiways, or hazards for a landing plane on its runway (ice, for instance).

Requirements
Non-air carrier aircraft: ceiling 1,000 feet and visibility 3 statute miles. Air carrier aircraft: ceiling 1,500 feet and visibility 5 statute miles, unless the landing runway is equipped with precision approach path indicator (PAPI) or visual approach slope indicator (VASI), in which case 1,000 feet ceiling and 3 statute miles visibility must be applicable. For configurations requiring a RLP (rejected landing procedure), the ceiling and visibility may differ.

Student pilots shall not receive a LAHSO from ATC.

Yaraka

Yaraka is a rural town and locality in the Longreach Region of Queensland, Australia. Until 2021, the town of Yaraka was part of the locality of Isisford.

Geography
Yaraka is in Central West Queensland, Australia. It was the terminus of a Yaraka branch railway line. It is located 220 km south of Longreach, 165 km west of Blackall and 100 km south of the town of Isisford.

The landscape is an open Mitchell grass downs country, which provides good grazing country. Grey Range is located near Yaraka and is characterised by rocky ridges, spinifex grass and mulga.

The locality has the following mountains:

 * Boundary Point (-24.8338°N, 144.3289°W) 402 m
 * Merry Peaks (-24.9222°N, 144.0817°W) 368 m
 * Mount Brookes (-24.8032°N, 144.0777°W) 379 m
 * Mount Margaret (-24.9597°N, 144.0937°W) 356 m
 * Mount Remarkable (-25.0121°N, 144.3064°W 320 m
 * Mount Slowcombe (-24.8425°N, 144.0577°W) 360 m
 * Sun Down Hill (-25.0441°N, 144.2584°W) 320 m

History
The first European to pass through the area was Edmund Kennedy in 1847. In 1860, graziers began to populate the area and farm sheep and cattle. In 1910, the Queensland Government authorised the building of the 2,060 km railway line in Western Queensland to support the pastoral industry. However, only a quarter of the line was built and Yaraka became the end of the Yaraka branch railway line.

Yaraka became a town when the Yaraka branch railway line from Emmet opened in April 1917. The station was called Yaraka by the Queensland Railway Department who said it was the Aboriginal name meaning "of white spear grass which grows in the district" or referring to button grass Eleusine aegyptica.

Yaraka State School opened on 5 March 1920. It was mothballed on 31 December 2008 and closed on 31 December 2009. It was at 11 Quilp Street (-24.8861°N, 144.0754°W). The school's website was archived.

The town prospered for the next twenty years and in the 1930s had a population of about 100. In 1932 a journalist toured this area and described the town in the following terms.

"Yaraka: This little place is the end of the line, and enjoys the privilege of seeing one train a week. It is situated well down the Barcoo, about one hundred miles from where the rivers meet, and becomes Cooper's Creek.

''No doubt people who live and work in isolated places such as this are entitled to more consideration than they receive. They certainly have courage and endurance above the average."''

On Saturday 19 March 1932, a strong gale of wind during a storm blew the Church of England off its blocks and three houses lost their roof.

In the 1950s, the Yaraka railway station became a major centre for the transportation of cattle. In November 1953 over 5,442 cattle were handled which was the largest number since the line opened in 1917. It was noted that this was unusual in these country yards and that Yaraka was unsurpassed in this respect.

The line was officially closed on 14 October 2005 and has been dismantled. These days however Yaraka has become known as one of Queensland's 'vanishing towns' and its population is declining. In 2009, the school closed due to low student numbers. In 2014, the school building was gifted to the local community. In 2016 the community reopened the school with the children enrolled at Longreach School of Distance Education but locally assisted by a governess employed by the families.

In 1998, as part of his 'Pass the Hat Around' tour, Lee Kernaghan performed before an audience of 3,000 people in Yaraka, in order to raise money for a defibrillator for the medical clinic and to help the school.

On 10 September 2021, a new locality called Yaraka was created around the town of Yaraka, the land being excised from the locality of Isisford to avoid confusion and restore historical connections.

Education
There are no schools in Yaraka nor nearby. The nearest primary school is Isisford State School in Isisford, 102 km to the north. The nearest secondary school is Blackall State School in Blackall, 162 km to the north-east. Distance education and boarding schools are the alternatives. The former Yaraka State School building at11 Quilp Street (-24.886°N, 144.0754°W) is available for children undertaking distance education to study together with the assistance of a governess.

Amenities
There is a hotel providing accommodation.

Occasional services are held at the Anglican church in Quilp Street (-24.8851°N, 144.0757°W).

Other amenities operated by the Longreach Regional Council include a community hall, showgrounds, swimming pool, tennis courts and golf course.

Attractions
Mount Slowcombe Lookout (-24.8427°N, 144.058°W) is off the Emmet Yaraka Road has been described as "an ideal place to enjoy the stunning outback sunset or the glorious colours of a sunrise". The view takes in the Yanyang Range (-24.9092°N, 144.0997°W), Mount Brookes at 379 m above sea level (-24.8036°N, 144.0781°W) and Fort Douglas at 321 m above sea level (-24.8975°N, 143.9989°W), all with ever changing colours, shadows and shades. There is a sealed road and electric barbeque and picnic area at the summit. Nearby waterholes offer an abundance of bird and wildlife.

Magee's Shanty is the historic site of the shanty immortalised in Banjo Paterson's poem "A Bush Christening", There is also the ruins of the Cobb & Co pub and the lonely grave of gold miner Richard Magoffin who perished in 1885.

Yaraka Opal Field encompasses the mines within and west of the Macedon Range including Harlequin and Mount Tighe. It is known for top patterns and various types of opal in as many as eight levels. Mines include Spur, Polykettle, Cockatoo and Pretty Gully.

Shaun Young

Shaun Young (born 13 June 1970) is an Australian Football administrator for Eastlake Football Club, Canberra, and former professional cricketer who played in a single Test match for Australia in 1997. He played for Tasmania in Australian domestic cricket.

Early life and career
Young was born at Burnie, Tasmania in 1970. He made his senior debut for Tasmania in October 1990, having played age group cricket for the state. He established himself as an all-rounder in the Tasmanian side, making his first-class cricket debut in the Sheffield Shield the following season and going on to play in over 100 Shield matches for the state side. He was considered "one of Tasmania's most reliable cricketers" who scored important runs and bowled "tight, competitive spells" for the state side.

Test cricketer
He had one season playing English county cricket, playing for Gloucestershire County Cricket Club during 1997. After making his highest score, 237 runs made against Derbyshire in July, he was called into the Australian touring side as a replacement after a series of bowling injuries and the return to Australia of Paul Reiffel for the birth of a child. Young had played for Young Australia during their tour of England in 1995 and was in England when a replacement was required. He played in a tour match against Kent alongside Shane Lee, another replacement who was called up from the Lancashire League, and was named in the side for the final Test of the 1997 Ashes series at The Oval.

Young went wicketless in the match and scored four runs in Australia's second innings, having been dismissed for a duck in their first innings. He played once for Australia A against the touring Pakistanis in 1996, but the Oval Test was his only appearance for the full Australian side.

Later career
After the 2001/02 Australian season Young was released by Tasmania and moved into Australian Football administration, becoming general manager of the Tasmanian Football League in 2010 after holding other roles within AFL Tasmania. He moved to become the general manager at Eastlake Football Club in Canberra in 2016. He played Lancashire League cricket for Bacup Cricket Club between 2001 and 2003, as well as making seven appearances for Bedfordshire County Cricket Club in the Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy during the same period.

Young's brother, Claye Young, also played for Tasmania.

Non-notable "secret society". BTW, I had to look up "hebdomadal" - it means "weekly".

 * Comment Thanks Sdedeo. If you are wondering why I'm trying to get you to give a valid reason for deleting this entry, please refer to the wiki guidelines on VfD.  You see, this isn't a vote, so my alleged "sock-puppeting" and your de-facto sock-puppeting (reposting what another user has said without adding any insight of your own) don't matter at all; it's all what is brought to the table.Octagon 17:10, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment. Thanks Sdedeo. I draw your attention to the definition of the word "alleged."  Basically, it means "described as but not proved,"  In other words, I did not admit to sock-puppeting, which would have been rediculous because I am quite a different person from whoever wrote this article. Give me a method, I will gladly prove it.  My frustration is with your inability to cite where this entry is in violation of wiki's generally accepted guidelines, and your inisitence to vote against it because you consider it not "notable."Octagon 17:30, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * The Phillipian newspaper exists, I'm just not sure about those individual articles. By any chance, does the gentleman with the sockpuppets have a copy he can scan so that we can see it?  That would go a long way to proving his argument.

 * Comment. ] I just want to deal briefly with accusations of "sockpuppetry" (I just looked that phrase up and realized what you all were talking about. I am not a creation of the author of this article, nor have a posted on wikipedia before. sorry. I happen to know the author of this entry in the real world (god forbid), and was directed to this vote by him ("yo, I just wrote this wiki-entry, and people are trying to delete it"). I realize that there is no way to proves this, but I don't really care, you can choose to beleive me if you like. I am not deeply invested in wikipedia, nor am I well versed in meta-wiki terminology, but that does'nt necessarily invalidate my argument. I was pretty surprised to find that there were self-appointed wiki-censors, or self-styled guardians of the gates of knowledge who presume to know what others should and should not be able to read about on wikipedia. That's absurd. I understand that there has to be a certain level of quality control, but I think that once offensiveness, bias and errors have been eliminated from an entry, there's pretty much no reason to delete it. And I do not see anyone here arguing that this entry is plagued by any of those three things. Additionally, I doubt that this entry in particular is more frivolous than any number on wikipedia ("sock puppet," for example). I know that I learned some from reading it...nothing earth-shattering, but it was interesting enough for me to read the whole thing. Also, if, as opposed to asking people to vote (which is legit) the author was using sockpuppets, why would this vote be close at all?.[[User:GaelClichy|GaelClichy]
 * Comment: People asked to vote by the author are called meat puppets- they're real people, but they have the same effect as sockpuppets. The question is really about whether or not this particular entry can be independently verified (please, someone, anyone, put those scans on their user page and let us see them), and whether it is important enough to cover- because although we aren't a paer encyclopedia, our server space is finite.--Scimitar parley 19:58, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete to the user(s) supporting this page, being free of bias and errors are not the only qualifications an article must pass to be considered worthy of being on Wikipedia, it must also prove itself notable enough. I could write an article about the mailbox down my street and it would be verifiable, and free of bias/errors but it would be nowhere near worthy-enough to be on Wiki. This article is not notable enough, no one really knows about this except people who read The Phillipian which at most encompasses the Andover community. Secondly you criticize the VfD process for judging "what people should be allowed to see". Far from it, please feel free to host this information somewhere else on the internet and remember that anyone on Wikipedia (including yourself) is free to vote on VfD, however wiki also has certain standards to be met, notability being one. The reason we have people vote is because notability is highly subjective so the best way to determine what stays and what goes is the democratic process. And finally the reason you have been accused of sock puppetism is not because it was your first edit or because you supported the article but because of the manner in which you did both of those. I too made my de-lurking wiki "debut" the other day voting Keep on a VfD. I and my vote were accepted however because I made a case for why the article should stay. You on the other hand have really just argued that it is verifiable (not enough of a reason for the article to be kept) and have attacked not only other respected editors but the Wiki-process itself despite admitting you are new and have no real interest in Wikipedia. With that in mind please read our guidelines and join the community if youd like, but for now the article should be deleted. -ShadowStaller 02:46, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. First off, I want to apologize for not having read entirety of the wiikiipedia guidlines. I am a huge fan of wikipedia and well I really wished my first post/edit wouldn't have to be of this nature. So to those of you who are experienced here, please dont judge me by the number of posts/edits but instead by what I say.

I hope this helps the people who feel that this post is entirley nonsense. It is merley documenting a trend at the oldest secondary school newspaper in the United States. Not to mention it offers insight other than that of the TUB society, it adds to the schools history, explaining how there used to be societies at Phillips Academy, which where banned in 1950. The topic on secret societies has at Phillips Academy has also been thought to be interesting enough to merit their own chapter in "Youth from Every Quarter: A Bicentennial History of Phillips Academy, Andover" by Frederick S. Allis (Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0874511577/qid=1125030571/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/002-5077754-0876052?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 ) This all being said after reading everyones posts I am still confused as to what exactly constitutes a "notable" secret society. The dilema I am having is that since they are all secret none of us really know anything except for what they have led us to believe. For all we know, other secret societies that have been listed on wikipedia are just social clubs that like to call themselves secret societies. We really do not know anything else about them except for that they care to share with the pulblic eye. T.U.B. could be several decades old, or a what is left of a public society that went secret on the decision of Hedmaster John Kemper in 1950. Also, I have found this article to be more complete than some of the other societies pages that are on wikipedia. The point is we only know what they have let us find out.

I am an alumni from Phillips Academy and I can tell you that most students would be interested in the information on the T.U.B. society, hence the reason the highly awared newspaper chose to write about it. I don't see the harm in keeping it as it is merely collecting the information that students have come across over various years on this society. Whether you find it notable or not is up to you, but I believe that a society that supposedly exists in a school that has been around since 1778, has been written about over three times in the past five years by the nations oldest secondary school newspaper, and is against the institutions rules has more than enough reasons to be documented by the wikipedia. 200.106.189.82 04:59, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. The main problem as I see it is that TUB is a very young group (according to the Phillipean headline, "In Violation of School Policy, PA Group Forms Secret Society", 2000.) That students did something that broke a school's rules is not notable, even if the students attend a private school. In general, the criteria for secret societies should be a combination of longevity and notable members -- as of yet, the oldest members of this society have just graduated college. Sdedeo 19:14, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Although this society does not have any notable alumni as of yet, societies at Andover have produced such notable characters as Henry Stimson and Preston, George and George W. Bush. Maybe not popular, but notable nonetheless.  Although just any society at any school may not be deserving of wiki fame, a society in the tradition of long lasting secret brotherhoods (it was an AUV alumni that allegedly co-founded the Skull and Bones), and at a school that has matriculated Samuel Morse, Oliver Wendell Holmes, two presidents, two nephews of George Washington, and half of the Kennedy family arguably deserves a slice, albeit thin, of this presumably free exchange of information.Octagon 19:44, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Sdedeo, I would like to point out that the first encounter with the society was in 2000, this by no means confirms that this was the date the society was started. For all we know it could date back a couple of decades. Also, keep in mind that this is under the heading of secret societies, organizations which usually keep their membership and most other information private. This means that even if it did have notable members, we would not know about them. Therefore your standard of "a combination of longevity and notable members" is completley based on something that we do not know. This means your standard requires a secret society to make public their membership and their date of founding, two things most societies will not do. The author obviously chose to write only on the fact that he could reference from the school newspaper because it is the nature of the wikipedia to contain information that can be confirmed. I can tell you for a fact that the author left out the rumors that exist about this society, such as the story that they have members in the administration, they run all the clubs on campus, have society cars and a society house near by in Lawrence, MA. Basically, the point of the article is to start building information on this society which is not just rumor, which last time I checked was perfectly all right in the wikipedia. I don't mean to be petty or insulting but it is begining to seem that you are trying to try and remove this article for personal reasons rather than to keep the wikipedia free of unworthy information, because clearly this article has been written for the purpose to collect fact checked information that would otherwise be lost to an ill managed archvie of The Phillipian.
 * Keep. References have been supplied as requested. It has, at least caused two brouhahas now. Alf 08:55, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. See Samdupont & Alf. Also, note- to claim that non-notability to a select audience is a basis for deletion rather than non-notability to the audience as a whole is unfair to those who do in fact find an article about a secret society notable, i.e. just because you don't care doesn't mean someone else doesn't. Phillips Academy is a school with enrollment of over 1100 students, and hundreds of faculty and staff. The references have been verified. Wikipedia is now a credible reference that consolidates the available information about something that pertains to at least 1500 people who are affiliated with the school at this moment, not to mention the hundreds that have passed through at least since its the year that it is supposed to have been founded. Obviously this is something notable to them, as they had multiple articles in their school newspaper. Will we deny them? Perhaps these people will have information to add. Wikipedia employs the same philosophy under its policy on stubs; not much information now, but with potential. (Unsigned vote by, first edit)

Nottage

Nottage (Notais) is a small village part of Porthcawl in Bridgend County Borough, Wales. It is also the name of an electoral ward to the town and county councils.

History
The original ancient village of Nottage, built in a defensive position from the outset, was sited on a small hill near an inlet leading to the sea. The location is speculated to have been chosen to reduce the risks of attacks by Vikings. Artifacts found in and near Nottage hint the presence in the area of the Beaker culture, Celts and Romans.

In the 12th century, William Fitz Robert, 2nd Earl of Gloucester gave 'New Town in Margam' to his supporter Richard of Cardiff. Nottage lay just outside it. Already the location of a Celtic church, Norman influence grew in the area, and the Parish of Newton-Nottage was formed in around 1300. Nottage Court (also known as 'The Grange' and 'Noche Court', later 'Ty Mawr') were administered by Margam Abbey. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it was sold to the Lougher family in 1545 and rebuilt in around 1570, though parts of the pre-1570 structure remain, despite another extensive renovation in 1855.

The ancient church of Nottage was located beside the present Rose and Crown pub. A manorial survey of 1630 shows that there was already a church in the village which was associated with Saint David (though the present church dates only from the 1940s). Nottage became the site of some of the earliest Nonconformist activity in Wales. John Myles had preached there in 1657. After the Royal Declaration of Indulgence in 1672, Walter Cradock and Howell Thomas were authorised to preach there. Methodist and Baptist presences in Nottage were formalised in 1743 and 1789 respectively.

In 1849, A Topographical Dictionary of Wales recorded that Nottage had a population of 467. It had risen to 1,082 by 1861 as recorded in the original Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales, which described Nottage as 'a decayed watering-place'.

Nottage was formerly served by Nottage Halt railway station on the Porthcawl branch-line, which closed in 1965.

West Park Primary School was opened in 1971.

Facilities
Nottage has a convenience store, a hair salon named salon Amici, a primary school and a few public houses and bed and breakfast establishments. The village is the location of the Royal Porthcawl Golf Club, founded in 1891.

There are two places of worship in Nottage:
 * St David's, operated by the Church in Wales.
 * Nottage General Baptist & Unitarian Church, shared by Unitarians and Baptists.

Governance
Nottage is an electoral ward to Porthcawl Town Council, electing four of the 19 town councillors.

The electoral ward has also elected a county councillor to Bridgend County Borough Council since 1999. The ward has generally elected a Liberal Democrat councillor with the exception of the 2004 council elections.

Prostitution in Russia

Prostitution is illegal in Russia. The punishment for engagement in prostitution is a fine from 1500 up to 2000 rubles. Moreover, organizing prostitution is punishable by a prison term. Prostitution remains a very serious social issue in Russia.

Historical overview

Prostitution in Russia became common after Peter the Great's military reforms that created a sizable class of unmarried men who were serving in the military. These soldiers started generating a demand for prostitution. Monarchs who followed Peter I had different approaches to prostitution, ranging from complete abolition to decriminalization.

From 6 October 1843, prostitution was legal in the Russian Empire and prostitutes were issued a special "yellow ticket" ID cards. Numerous brothels existed in most cities, ranging greatly in class and price. Customers included diverse groups ranging from the aristocracy to the working class. Legally, only women were allowed to own brothels. However, illegal street prostitution was still dominated by male pimps. The term kot (кот, tomcat) was used for a male pimp, while a female pimp was referred to as a bandersha (бандерша).

Following the opening of Japan, Vladivostok would become the focus of settlement for Japanese emigrating to Russia. A branch of the Japanese Imperial Commercial Agency (日本貿易事務官) was opened there in 1876. Their numbers grew to 80 people in 1877 and 392 in 1890; women outnumbered men by a factor of 3:2, and many worked as prostitutes (Karayuki-san). However, their community remained small compared to the more numerous Chinese and Korean communities; an 1897 Russian government survey showed 42,823 Chinese, 26,100 Koreans, but only 2,291 Japanese in the whole of the Primorye area. A large portion of the migration came from villages in northern Kyūshū.

In the Russian Far East, east of Lake Baikal, Japanese prostitutes and merchants made up the majority of the Japanese community in the region after the 1860s. Japanese nationalist groups like the Black Ocean Society (Genyōsha) and Amur River Society-(Kokuryūkai), glorified and applauded the 'Amazon army' of Japanese prostitutes in the Russian Far East and Manchuria and enrolled them as members. Certain missions and intelligence gathering were performed around Vladivostok and Irkutsk by Japanese prostitutes.

Before 1917 there were said to be between 25,000 and 30,000 prostitutes in Moscow. Prophylactoriums, medical treatment centres, were established in 1925 to treat alcoholics and prostitutes. By 1929 there were five in Moscow. The prophylactorium board in Moscow estimated that there were 3000 prostitutes in Moscow in 1928. Handicraft cooperatives were established to provide alternative employment for them. According to secret research carried out in the late 1920s, almost 60% of urban Soviet men were using the services of prostitutes. There was also a separate category of prostitutes, the ‘intergirls’ who worked in hotels for foreign tourists and accepted payment only in foreign currencies. Women who worked in ordinary hotels and at stations often had protection from the local police, but those in the luxury hotels were under the wing of the KGB.

Prostitution has been illegal in Russia since the establishment of the Soviet Union. However, during the post-Soviet years, this industry experienced significant growth.

According to Russian president Vladimir Putin, Russian prostitutes are "undoubtedly the best in the world".

"Tochka"
"Tochka" (то́чка) is a popular euphemism for an outdoor market for prostitutes in Moscow and other large Russian cities, a word can be literally translated as a 'point' or 'location' of sale where services can be bought. (The word "tochka" may also be used in many other contexts. Its usage is originated from the notion "a point on the map". Initially it was used in military and geologist slang to denote, e.g., a military or geologist base or other specific location. Over time its usages was expanded. For example, in alcoholics' parlance, a "tochka" is a place where vodka is sold.)

Moscow city government actions
Starting from the late 1990s, the Moscow city government made many noticeable attempts to eliminate prostitution in Russia and there is serious jail time for prostitution to eliminate these markets, other than to eliminate some of the more obvious points along Tverskaya, Moscow's main avenue. Tochkas are controlled by organized criminal gangs that bribe local police departments in order to remain in business. Instead, the city police randomly checked the documents of women traveling alone after dark. For this reason, prostitutes often carried a hundred rubles with which to bribe the police.

Child prostitution, foreign prostitutes, and the trafficking of women
Russia is a major source of women trafficked globally for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Russia is also a significant destination and transit country for persons trafficked for sexual and labor exploitation from regional and neighboring countries into Russia, and on to Europe, Asia and North America. In Tel Aviv the number of brothels skyrocketed from 30 to 150 between 1996 and 2001—largely because of an influx of Russian prostitutes into Israel.

The International Labor Organization estimates that 20 percent of the five million illegal immigrants in Russia are victims of forced labor, which is a form of trafficking. There were reports of trafficking of children and of child sex tourism in Russia. The Russian government has made some effort to combat trafficking but has also been criticized for not complying with the minimum standards for eliminating it. The United States Department of State Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons ranks Russia as a 'Tier 3' country.

A large case of forced prostitution and mass murder was uncovered in 2007 near the industrial town of Nizhny Tagil. A gang of pimps had abducted girls and forced them to work as prostitutes in their brothel, killing the ones who refused. A mass grave with up to 30 victims was found. (See: Nizhny Tagil mass murder (2002–2007).)

Three prostitutes from China were arrested in Moscow in January 2009. In 2011, a brothel in Moscow with Chinese and Vietnamese prostitutes which served only Chinese citizens as clients was uncovered, it advertised to its Chinese clients via coded messages in a Chinese language newspaper but was uncovered by the police.

Human smugglers coerced Vietnamese women to work in brothels in Moscow. Mostly other Vietnamese people patronize them. In one incident the smugglers seized the Vietnamese women's travel papers and tricked them by telling them that a textile factory was going to hire them. The manager of the Vietnamese brothel may have been on friendly terms with Vietnamese Embassy staff since the managers caught a brothel runaway after Vietnamese Embassy was contacted by her. The Russian police could not manage to stop the prostitution because one of the managers of the Vietnamese brothel was a family member of the Vietnamese embassy staff employee. The number of involuntary Vietnamese prostitutes numbers in the thousands. Russia-based brothels are destinations via China for Vietnamese girls who were forced into the sex trade by human smugglers.

A Vietnamese American woman, Hui Danh, sought help to extract from the Moscow Brothel her younger sister Huynh Thi Be-Huong. The effort by Hui Danh was successful in having the brothel release those specific 15 Vietnamese women. A teenager who was only aged 16 was among the 15 forced prostitutes.

The Vietnamese woman who ran the brothel was Thuy An and she was family to the Vietnamese embassy employee Nguyen Dong Trieu. The forced prostitutes were hit by their female manager Thuy An.

Three Vietnamese women returned to the city of Ho Chi Minh after they were tricked into going to Russia for prostitution by another woman.

Vietnamese women were tricked into prostitution in Russia by a Vietnamese woman named Le Thi Tham.

Sretensky Monastery's grounds had prostitutes working in its vicinity.

User:Feyandstrange

A former professional geek and would-be author, now disabled (but still a hopeful author, just a lot slower).

Areas of some lay expertise include:

 * Archeology (father is an assistant professor of archeology)
 * neurological learning disabilities and related syndromes (such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, Tourette's, and so on); research pursuant to my teenage diagnosis of ADD.
 * "Ailments of unknown etiology" and other "wastebasket diagnosis" diseases and syndromes, particularly relating to fatigue and dizziness.
 * Bisexuality and publishing - I am a former staff editor of the former international bisexual magazine Anything That Moves.

There are certain other minor areas of research I pursue from time to time (from carbon nanotubes to Hmong textiles) in pursuit of book material or just more knowledge.

I am also incapable of resisting the urge to correct spelling mistakes, let alone factual errors, and determined it was time to launch an accreditable account with Wiki for that purpose.

I'm beginning to think we need a "Disability project", as many of the disability-related sites on Wikipedia could use rather a bit of cleanup and organization. I'm not sure how to start such a thing, nor do I have the energy to pursue it right now - or to be honest, I'd probably lose my temper at someone if I did try it. However, you can vote for it as a project, or even volunteer, |over here in the new projects list.

He therefore become known more as an economical bowler in one-day cricket, although he was selected for two Tests throughout his career and was very successful for Queensland in the first-class arena. He is best remembered however for taking one of the greatest catches ever seen in the game of cricket whilst playing for Queensland in the summer of 1997–98.

He played grade cricket for the Wynnum-Manly Cricket Club in Brisbane, and premier cricket for Northcote, Heidelberg Cricket Club, North Melbourne and Melbourne in Melbourne, over a long career which spanned twenty-six years from 1985–86 to 2010–11.

Kard

A kard is the equivalent in the Persian language for knife.

In the specialist jargon, Kard is considered a type of knife found in the Persianate societies like Persia, Turkey, Armenia and all the way to India. Mostly used in the 18th century and before, it has a straight single edged blade and is usually no longer than 41 cm in length. It has no guard, and usually the handle was bone, ivory, or horn. It was mostly a stabbing weapon, and commonly the point would be reinforced to penetrate chain mail. A major characteristic of a kard is that the hilt is only partially covered by the sheath.

Ishtakhaba

Ishtakhaba (Dakota: Ištáȟba), also known as Chief Sleepy Eyes, was a Native American chief of the Sisseton Dakota tribe. He became chief sometime between 1822 and 1825, receiving a commission from the Bureau of Indian Affairs as chief in 1824, and remained chief until his death in 1860. His band, known as the Swan Lake or Little Rock Band, hunted "in southwestern Minnesota and southeastern Dakota ... between Swan Lake and Coteau des Prairies," until forced to move to reservation land near the Minnesota River in the wake of the 1857 Spirit Lake Massacre.

Ishtabkhaba tried to promote peace with whites in and around the state of Minnesota. He was a signer of at least four treaties with the United States government, including the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux, and met with President James Monroe in Washington, D.C. in 1824. Chief Sleepy Eyes was known for his friendships with "explorers, traders, missionaries and government officials". However, his nephew, who also bore the name "Sleepy Eyes," was involved in the 1862 Sioux Uprising.

Legacy
According to Warren Upham, "'Sleepy Eyes died in Roberts County, South Dakota, but many years after his death his remains were disinterred and relocated to Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, where they were buried under a monument erected by the citizens.'" The monument, close to the railway station, bears this inscription beneath the portrait of the chief in bas-relief sculpture: 'Ish-tak-ha-ba, Sleepy Eye, Always a Friend of the Whites. Died 1860.'"

In 1852, Sleepy Eye helped select the site which became today's Mankato, Minnesota. He advised traders not to build in low lying land near the Minnesota River, because it flooded, and suggested "the bluff" of Mankato's "present day Front Street" for a trading post instead.

A historical marker has been erected near the site which served as his main village between 1857-1859, at Sleepy Eye Lake "(then called Pretty Water By The Big Trees, Minnewashte Chanhatonka)."

His ceremonial pipe was returned to the city of Sleepy Eye by his "fourth great-granddaughter" in 2011.

Tilman Hausherr is a German citizen living in Berlin, Germany. Hausherr is well known among critics of Scientology for his frequent Usenet posts and for maintaining a website critical of Scientology. Hausherr is also the author of a software utility, Xenu's Link Sleuth, which was praised in a 2002 PC Magazine article covering 70 web builder utilities.

Coined "Sporgery"
Hausherr is credited with coining the term "Sporgery" in the Usenet newsgroup alt.religion.scientology, to which he is a regular contributor. "Sporgery" refers to internet attacks that not only spam a forum with offensive posts but also misrepresent regular users by forging their names to the spam posts. The term is a blending of the words "spam" and "forgery".

Website
Hausherr's website contains a large section critical of Scientology, including the "Scientology celebrities FAQ", as well as the "FAQ: Scientology in Germany" (2001). He has also contributed updates on the activities of the Church of Scientology to the magazine Berliner Dialog, published until 2005 by the non-profit organization Dialog Zentrum Berlin e.V. Hausherr was quoted in Religion Online as stating on his Web site: "Scientology is evil; its techniques evil; its practice a serious threat to the community, medically, morally and socially."

In 1998, attorneys representing the Church of Scientology sent a letter to Hausherr, telling him to remove altered Scientology images from his Web site. Hausherr had parodied copyright-protected images belonging to the Church including changing the Scientology "S" to a dollar sign, as well as elongating the nose of the president of the organization, an image intended to evoke comparison to Pinocchio. In the course of the dispute Compuserve, which was hosting the pages and altered images, blocked his website for terms of service violations. Hausherr defended his site, saying "It's just a page making fun of Scientology--it's a form of art. Parodies are allowed under German and U.S. law."

Prince-primate

Prince-primate (German: Fürstprimas, Hungarian: hercegprímás) is a rare princely title held by individual (prince-) archbishops of specific sees in a presiding capacity in an august assembly of mainly secular princes, notably the following:

Germany - Confederation of the Rhine
The Rheinbund or 'Confederation of the Rhine' was founded in 1806, when several German states seceded from the Holy Roman Empire and allied themselves with Emperor Napoleon of France, who assumed the position of the Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine. Its highest office was held by Karl Theodor von Dalberg, first Archbishop of Mainz and then of Regensburg. He had been the first among the princes of the Holy Roman Empire and styled its Archchancellor, and as such was given the first rank among the princes of the new Confederation and the title of Fürstprimas, 'Prince Primate'. As such he presided over the College of Kings and the Diet of the Confederation, a senate-like assembly which never actually assembled.

During his term as prince-primate, Dalberg was Archbishop of Regensburg (in Bavaria) and at first Fürst (ruling prince) of Aschaffenburg. From September 19, 1806, his territories included the former Reichsstadt and on February 16, 1810, Dalberg was promoted to the strictly secular rank of Grand Duke of Frankfurt, in chief of another former Reichsstadt (on the lower Main, enclaved in the Electorate of Mainz, now in Hessen). At the same time, Napoleon appointed his stepson Eugène de Beauharnais — excluded from the French imperial succession — as heir to the Grand Duchy.

On the eve of the collapse of the First French Empire, Dalberg resigned his secular positions and Beauharnais succeeded him as Grand Duke, though this had no practical effect, as the dissolution of the Confederation (carved up into a revised set of monarchies) also rendered the position moot.

Hungary
In virtue of his dignity as primate of the Habsburg dynasty's apostolic Kingdom of Hungary, the Archbishop of Esztergom enjoyed extraordinary privileges, resulting in his being titled prince primate.

The primate was entitled to hold national synods, was Legatus Natus of the Holy Roman Church, and therefore had the right, inside of his legation (territory where he represented the Pope), to have the cross carried before him, dealt directly with Rome and had the right of visitation in the episcopal sees and the religious houses in Hungary, except the exempt Archabbey of Pannonhalma (S. Martinus in Monte Pannoniæ).

Since 1715, the primate had also been a Reichsfürst, a ruling prince of the Holy Roman Empire, entitled Prince Primate. He was the chief and privy chancellor of the Hungarian kingdom, and thus keeper of the great seal. Formerly he was also a member of the supreme court, and still earlier governor, viceroy and főispán ('hereditary' lord-lieutenant) of Esztergom county. To the primate also belonged the right (delegated regalia) to superintend the royal mint at Kremnica (Kremnitz, Körmöcbánya), for which he received a significant sum from its seigniorage revenues, called jus piseti ('right of'). By ancient custom, he had the right to crown the King of Hungary and anoint the queen. By a gift of archiepiscopal property he was at one time able to confer nobility (Prädialadel), another rarely delegated princely prerogative (usually only knighting was allowed to non-sovereign nobility). Another privilege was his right to take an oath before a court of justice through his deputy, and not personally.

The primate was also chief priest and chancellor of the Hungarian national Order of St. Stephen, established in 1764. As first banneret (baro regni) of Hungary, he was a Magnate, i.e. member of the Upper House.

Mercury Interactive

Mercury Interactive Corporation was an Israeli company acquired by the HP Software Division. Mercury offered software for application management, application delivery, change and configuration management, service-oriented architecture, change request, quality assurance, and IT governance.

History
In 1989, Zvi Schpizer, Ilan Kinriech and Arye Finegold founded Mercury Interactive Corporation. The company was based in California and had offices located around the world. It also had a large R&D facility in Yehud, Israel.

On 25 July 2006, Hewlett-Packard announced it would pay approximately $4.5 billion to acquire Mercury Interactive. In November, Mercury Interactive formally became part of HP. The Mercury Interactive products are now sold by HP Software Division.

Mercury Interactive legacy products were integrated and sold as part of the HP IT Management Software portfolio from the HP Software Division.

Most of the Mercury Interactive software assets were apportioned to Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) when HP split into two companies. In September 2017, HPE completed the sale of most of its software assets, including the legacy Mercury Interactive products to UK-based Micro Focus.

In 2023, Canadian software company OpenText acquired Micro Focus, including Mercury Interactive products.

Acquisitions
From 2000 until its HP acquisition in 2006, Mercury purchased several software companies:

 * Conduct Software Technologies, Inc., acquired by Mercury Interactive in a share-swap deal worth about $50M, was a privately held software company founded in 1996 by Sharon Azulai, David Barzilai, and Ran Levy. The company provided network topology visualization products, to pinpoint bottlenecks and isolate the location of network problems both across the network and across the system infrastructure. Its main product was SiteRunner, which used multi-agent technology to pinpoint bottlenecks. As part of Mercury, Conduct alumni started a new project, nicknamed Falcon and later called Prism, that switched focus to monitoring web server traffic.
 * Freshwater Software was a software vendor of a web server monitoring and administration tool called SiteScope. Mercury Interactive acquired Freshwater Software in 2001.  The product is now called HP SiteScope software.
 * Performant Inc. was a software vendor of J2EE diagnostic tools. Mercury Interactive acquired Performant in 2003 for $22.5M.
 * Kintana Inc. was a software vendor of IT governance products. Mercury Interactive acquired Kintana in June 2003 for $225M.  Kintana products are now called HP Project and Portfolio Management software.
 * Appilog was a software vendor of auto-discovery and application mapping software. Appilog products mapped the relationships among applications and their underlying infrastructure. Mercury Interactive acquired Appilog for $49M in 2004.  Appilog products are now part of HP Universal CMDB software, an HP Business Service Management offering.
 * BeatBox Technologies (formerly named "ClickCadence LLC") was a software vendor of real user behavior tracking products. Mercury Interactive acquired BeatBox in 2005 for approximately $14 million in cash, "to extend the real user monitoring capabilities of its BTO software and to enhance its performance lifecycle offerings.". BeatBox was incorporated into Mercury's Real User Monitor (RUM) product, which is now part of HP Business Availability Center.
 * Systinet (formerly named IdooX) was a software vendor of registry and enablement products for standard service-oriented architecture (SOA). Mercury Interactive acquired Systinet in 2006 for $105M.  Systinet products are now called HP SOA Systinet software.

Corporate malfeasance
From 4 January 2006 until its acquisition by Hewlett-Packard, Mercury Interactive was traded via the Pink Sheets as a result of being delisted from the NASDAQ due to noncompliance with filing requirements. On 3 January 2006, Mercury missed a second deadline for restating its financials, leading to the delisting.

Three top executives resigned in November 2005 after a special committee at the company found that they benefited from a program to favorably price option grants. The committee found that, beginning in 1995, there were 49 instances in which the stated date of a stock option grant was different from the date on which the option appeared to have been granted. In almost every case, the price on the actual date was higher than the price on the stated grant date. A former Chief Financial Officer, Sharlene Abrams, later associated with the financial misreporting, had resigned previously in November 2001.

The Chief Executive Officer, Amnon Landan, also was found to have misreported personal stock option exercise dates to increase his profit on transactions three times between 1998 and 2001. In addition, a $1 million loan to Landan in 1999—which was repaid—did not appear to have been approved in advance by the Board of Directors and was referred to in some of the company's public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but was not clearly disclosed. In 2007, the SEC filed civil fraud charges against Landan, Smith, Skaer and Abrams. Without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations, Mercury Interactive agreed to pay a $28 million civil penalty to settle the Commission's charges in 2007.

The SEC settled charges against Sharlene Abrams in March 2009. Abrams agreed to pay $2,287,914 in disgorgement, of which $1,498,822 represented the "in-the-money" benefit from her exercise of backdated option grants, and a $425,000 civil penalty. In September 2009, a federal judge dismissed all charges brought by the SEC against Susan Skaer, who now goes by the name Susan Skaer Tanner.

Gavin Ron Robertson (born 28 May 1966) is an Australian former cricketer. He was a right-handed offbreak bowler and a lower-order batsman.

Career
Robertson made his debut for the New South Wales Blues in 1987. Two seasons later he moved to Tasmania in search of more playing time. He moved back to New South Wales after 2 seasons with the Tigers and was part of the successful 1992–93 Sheffield Shield-winning team. He retired in 2000.

Robertson made his Test debut for Australia in March 1998 against India in Chennai. He claimed 5 wickets in total. In Australia's first innings, by scoring 57, he shared a 96 runs partnership with Ian Healy for the 9th wicket to help the Australians for taking first innings lead. However, a Sachin Tendulkar century helped the Indians to post a match winning total in the second Innings.

Robertson currently hosts Talkin Sport on 2SM. He is also a regular panelist of Fox Sports program Bill & Boz.

Personal life
Robertson is a member of the band Six & Out with four former New South Wales teammates. He plays the drums and supplies backing vocals.

Thanks for any help you guys can provide! I'm sure there's some certified pilots out there that have to know more than me, the lowly googler! KVidell 07:32, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * Are there any examples of an airport that utilizes LAHSO on a regular basis? CoolGuy 01:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Removed some nonsense
I found these gems:

 * A LAHSO usually means a very abrupt stop for the aircraft on the short end of the procedure:

 * A pilot will have to take special precautions during their landing routine, make full use of the available runway (Executing the initial touch-down in the threshold), and braking at full capacity.

Both are absolute nonsense. I can't imagine anybody who wrote that is any sort of pilot at all. A LAHSO landing in ANY aircraft should be a NORMAL landing without any "very abrupt" maneuvers, much less trying to put the aircraft down sooner on the runway than normal (especially for heavy aircraft this is absolutely ridiculous as it would compromise safety immensely) that fits comfortably in the ALD. If not, the LAHSO clearance should not be accepted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.9.166.7 (talk) 05:23, February 22, 2008 (UTC)

 * His resume says the same. He founded the department before leaving IBM. https://www.cs.unc.edu/~brooks/FPB_BIO.CV.04.2007.pdf 71.212.138.93 (talk) 00:55, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Looks like most references to Brooks Christian ethos often outlined in his work (humility, servant leadership) have been scrubbed by the Wikipedia rabbinical council. A shame because it illustrates so many important ideas in his essays. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.136.106.87 (talk) 00:22, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Death
It looks like his death has been announced on Twitter.. Once it's reflected in a WP:RS the article can be updated. Park3r (talk) 03:35, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Fred Brooks → Frederick Brooks – Although the computer scientist was addressed as "Fred" in interviews, his public name and his was "Frederick Brooks", "Frederick P. Brooks" or "Frederick P. Brooks Jr." His entry contains 33 inline cites, virtually all of which refer to him by his full name, not as "Fred Brooks". If consensus would prefer the longer forms: Fred Brooks → Frederick P. Brooks or Fred Brooks → Frederick P. Brooks Jr., I would also support those alternatives. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:07, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Don't move I had a 45-year career as a computer engineer and now teach the history of computing. Except on book covers and formal citations, Fred Brooks is universally referred to as Fred Brooks. WP:COMMONNAME. EEng 07:53, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Don't move - As said, Fred Brooks is by far the most WP:COMMONNAME for Fred Brooks. Similarly, Ken Thompson is not titled Kenneth Thompson, and Raj Reddy is not titled Dabbala Rajagopal Reddy.- Fuzheado | Talk 01:52, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Not to mention Reddy Kilowatt. Reddy Kilowatt US patent picture 1933.jpg. EEng 02:59, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Any potential move arguments for Ken Thompson and Raj Reddy would not be analogous to those submitted for the move of Fred Brooks to Frederick Brooks, Frederick P. Brooks or Frederick P. Brooks Jr. There are 32 inline cites contained at the bottom of the Ken Thompson entry and nearly all of them refer to him as "Ken", not as "Kenneth".
 * As for Raj Reddy, there are 69 inline cites below his entry and, again, nearly of those refer to him as "Raj", not as "Dabbala Rajagopal". On the other hand, as pointed out in the nomination, virtually all inline cites refer to "Frederick", not "Fred", and furthermore, "Frederick" appears as pen name on all his work, not simply book covers and on nearly all citations, not simply formal ones. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:22, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I think that the question may be less what name Brooks published under, and more how he is referred to in secondary sources. I see lots of sources that refer to him as Fred Brooks; a smaller (but not inconsiderable) number that refer to him as Frederick or Frederick P. Brooks.
