GE 44-ton switcher

The GE 44-ton switcher is a four-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Electric between 1940 and 1956. It was designed for industrial and light switching duties, often replacing steam locomotives that had previously been assigned these chores.

This locomotive's specific 44-short ton weight was directly related to one of the efficiencies the new diesel locomotives offered compared to their steam counterparts: reduced labor intensity. In the 1940s, the steam to diesel transition was in its infancy in North America, and railroad unions were trying to protect the locomotive fireman jobs that were redundant with diesel units. One measure taken to this end was the 1937 so-called "90,000 Pound Rule," a stipulation that locomotives weighing 90000 lb – 45 short tons – or more required a fireman in addition to an engineer on common carrier railroads. Industrial and military railroads had no such stipulation. The 44-ton locomotive was designed to abrogate this requirement. Other manufacturers like Davenport and Whitcomb also built 44-ton switchers for this reason.

GE built 276 of this locomotive for U. S. railroads and industrial concerns, four were exported to Australia in 1944, 10 were exported to Canada, 10 were exported to Cuba, one was exported to the Dominican Republic, five were exported to France, three were exported to India, six were exported to Mexico, five were exported to Saudi Arabia, one was exported to Sweden, two were exported to Trinidad, 10 were exported to Uruguay, and 57 were built for the United States Armed Forces. Many remain, in service and in museums.

Prime mover options
The locomotives were available with a choice of prime movers. Most were built with a pair of Caterpillar's D17000 V8 180 hp engines, but three other engine types were used. Nine were built with a pair of Hercules DFXD engines; two were sold to Chattanooga Traction and seven were sold to Missouri Pacific Railroad and its subsidiaries. Ten were built with a pair of the slightly more powerful Buda 6DH1742, rated at 200 hp each. The last four locomotives built had Caterpillar D342 engines, of which three were sold to Canadian National Railway and one to the Dansville and Mount Morris Railroad.

Military version
During the Second World War, GE produced a "Drop Cab" variant of the 44-ton locomotives for the US Armed Forces. These appeared similar to the standard 44-ton but had a lower cab for European clearances, and large boxes next to the cab, on the front right, and back left running boards, housing the air compressors (housed under the cab on standard versions). Most of these military variants were ballasted to an actual weight of 45 tons. A total of 91 Military 45-ton Drop Cabs were built with 31 of those sold to the Indian Railways. Additional narrow gauge drop cabs were built to a 47-ton rating for the military and export.

Twelve Drop Cab 45-ton locomotives were bought by the Portuguese Railway (CP - Caminhos de Ferro Portugueses) in 1949, with the Iberian broad gauge of. Numbered 1101 to 1112, after some initial use as light road engines, they spent most of their lives as switchers at the southern region main stations. The series is withdrawn but one example is preserved (No. 1104) at the National Railroad Museum (Fundação Museu Nacional Ferroviário Armando Ginestal Machado) at Entroncamento.

Australia
Forty-seven locomotives were bought by the US Military, and four of them were exported to Australia. All saw service on the New South Wales Government Railways as the 79 class, before two of them were sold to Commonwealth Railways, becoming the DE class.

United States

 * Arcade and Attica Railroad in Arcade, NY shifted all operations to diesel in 1941 with the purchase of 44ton No 110. Six years later a wreck forced them to send the engine back to Erie for repairs. At that time they purchased a second engine (ARA No 111) and scrapped their last remaining backup steam engine. ARA 110 today is a static display while ARA 111 remains operational for freight duties as a backup locomotive, occasionally hauling the railroad's excursion trains (often triple-headed with the railroad's other two GE centercab switchers for their annual WWII weekend, #112 and #113). Freight duties are currently handled in tandem by 65-ton #112 (1945 b/n 27886, U.S. Navy, acquired 1988) and 80-ton #113 (1959 b/n 33489, ConEdison, acquired 2014). The railroad acquired an ALCO RS-3m in 2023 to replace their center cab locomotives.

, your deletion makes no sense. You keep saying "this article is about an airport in Texas; you've added a photo of New Mexico" First off, it is NOT about an airport, it is about an air force base, which is very, very different. Trust me, I have over 20 years experience as a dependent then an airman myself. Next, the section is "Modern Era" and this plane represents the most advanced plane and the primary mission of that air force base. There is no way to be more topical than this. Finally, it doesn't matter that the plane is over New Mexico. The mission of Dyess isn't to fly planes over Texas, it is to fly them all over the world. Most of the time when a B-1B is flying, it is over someplace besides Abilene, Texas. It can NOT drop a Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile over Abilene, it would hit Wylie or Potosi or Phantom. There is no missle range in TYler country.... The White Sands range is the closest range to Dyess, so of course it is there. The photo is of the plane (Dyess's mission), not of New Mexico. So yes, I expect to add it back unless someone has a better idea. I'm open minded, but this "New Mexico" argument doesn't hold water if you know anything about this topic. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER  16:46, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I see your point, and I'm curious to read the input of others. This article is about an Air Force base in Texas.  The article even lists the coordinates of the base, as well as the city it's located in.  There are squadrons who fly out of this base, and each squadron has its own article.  If you have a photo of one of these squadrons at Dyess Air Force Base, then it would be a great addition to this article.  If you have a photo of one of these squadrons in action 500 miles away from the base, it doesn't make much sense adding it to this article.  Instead, add it to the article about that squadron.  Let me use an analogy.  United Airlines has a hub at O'Hare.  So, if you have a great picture of a United Airlines plane at one of the gates at O'Hare, add it to the O'Hare article.  If you have a great picture of a United Airlines plane flying over Virginia, it doesn't really make Wiki-sense adding it to the O'Hare article, does it?  Instead, add it to the United Airlines article.  I'm not saying don't add these great pictures of these amazing planes and soldiers, I'm just saying, don't add a picture of a plane flying over New Mexico to an article about a place in Texas.  Furthermore, you should note that I personally have over 20 years experience dealing with people who begin their arguments with statements like "I have over 20 years experience" (and thus you should defer to my incredible wisdom bla bla bla).  Magnolia677 (talk) 17:22, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * If we were talking about an airport, then yes, I completely agree. When you talk about a military base, primarily you speak of it's mission, not its tarmac. Dyess primary goal isn't to be an airport.  As a matter of fact, in wartime, they won't use the flightline at Dyess at all, they will move the planes to the theater.  It's mission is to fly F-1B planes, drop bombs on enemies, break stuff and kill people, which is the role of the military.  The photo shows a B-1B dropping a bomb, ie: rehearsing it's mission.  It can't do that near Abilene.  I was born at Dyess and lived in Abilene, so I'm familiar, but it is true of any military aircraft.  They only do dummy bomb runs at a few special facilities where the government owns insane amounts of land, because it is very, very easy for a bomb to go dozens of miles off target.  You do that outside of a special bomb range, you can kill civilians.  You will never see a bomber dropping a bomb near its home base, unless maybe you are talking about Edwards or Area 51, both of which are in the middle of the desert.   That is my point.  Doing practice runs far away from home is not unusual, and is in fact the only way you will be able to photograph a bomb being dropped.Dennis Brown | 2¢ |  WER  17:44, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * This article makes use of "infobox military structure" and "infobox airport". Is there some Wiki guideline that states that articles about military structures and military airports are intended to discuss the mission of the squadrons who use the facility, and post pictures taken hundreds of miles from the structure or airport?  If there is, then why does each squadron have its own article?  What about Yeager Airport, which is a shared civil/military airport?  On that article, each squadron has its own article.  While you certainly have expertise on this topic, I'd be curious to hear the input of others.  Magnolia677 (talk) 18:13, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I want to hear others as well. I am not an expert, I'm just very familiar, so I won't say "I know" as much as "I'm pretty sure" I do want to make it clear, Air Force bases never use "airport", it is always about the flight line. Yeager Airport?  That might be different, I don't know enough about it, I'm just talking pure military bases and the fact that you can't have a photo of a bomber dropping over Abilene itself.  (Thank god, I still have lots of friends there ;) You might drop a line at one of the military history wikiprojects as well, they would be more likely "experts".  I'm fine with whatever the consensus is, even if I'm on the other side.  Dennis Brown | 2¢ |  WER  20:01, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Jack Ruby correction
This article states that Jack Ruby was "convicted of the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald." This is technically true but incomplete. His conviction was later reversed, with a new trial ordered; but he died before that trial took place. Therefore at the time of his death he legally stood UNconvicted of that crime and was, in the eyes of the law, presumed innocent. For the sake of accuracy and completeness, I would like to add a *very brief* addition to the article to indicate this.

Several sources including Army ones as well as local media have used "Pope Field" as the new name. (But Pope Field already refers to another airfield at Wikipedia.) The source cited in the nomination says, "When the property transfer for BRAC is complete in March 2011, Pope Air Force Base will officially become Pope Army Airfield. However, a local agreement with the Army will allow the Air Force to shorten it to Pope Field, which will hearken back to its pre World War II roots."  —  AjaxSmack   00:56, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

 * But do others continue to use the old name? Or do they use the name Pope Field? The existing article at Pope Field can of course be moved too, or other disambiguators used. Lots of possibilities. Let's try to get the right one in terms of WP:AT. Andrewa (talk) 11:45, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Strongly Support per WP:COMMONNAME. I created a DAB page earlier today at Pope Field, not knowing about this discussion. Pope Field is the historical name for the airfield, and Pope Army Airfield seems to be the term that the Army and media have picked up on and will use. This is the common name that is used today, and will continue to be in the future. Pope Air Force Base as it stands is confusing to readers, because the title says it is an Air Force Base, when that is clearly no longer the case. Ng.j (talk) 01:21, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

New lede
Proposed for the new lede:

Pope Army Airfield, commonly Pope Field, is an airfield at Fort Bragg, located 12 miles (19 km) northwest of the central business district of Fayetteville, in Cumberland County, North Carolina, United States. It was formerly Pope Air Force Base, but was absorbed into Fort Bragg on March 1, 2011 in accordance with the 2005 Defense Base Closure and Realignment (BRAC) Commission's directive.

Requested move 2

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: both page moved. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

– This article was previously moved from Pope Air Force Base to Pope Army Airfield with a nomination citing an article from 2010 at http://www.paraglideonline.net/112410_Flightline4.html which used the name "Pope Army Airfield". However, this article now contains three more recent references (U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, and Fayetteville Observer) all of which state the name changed from "Pope Air Force Base" to "Pope Field" on March 1, 2011. Therefore, I believe "Pope Field" meets the criteria at WP:COMMONNAME while "Pope Army Airfield" does not. In addition, the U.S. Air Force website at http://www.pope.af.mil refers to this facility as "Pope Field". I propose that the disambiguation page at Pope Field be moved to Pope Field (disambiguation), followed by moving Pope Army Airfield to Pope Field. Zyxw (talk) 05:30, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Pope Army Airfield → Pope Field
 * Pope Field → Pope Field (disambiguation)

 * Support Looking at a broad google books search, it looks like people kept referring to the field as "Pope Field" in spite of the name changes. --Enric Naval (talk) 12:02, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Pontificia Universidad Javeriana

The Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (English: Xavierian Pontifical University) is a private university in Colombia founded in 1623. It is one of the oldest and most traditional Colombian universities, directed by the Society of Jesus, with its main facilities in Bogotá and a second campus in Cali. "La Javeriana", as it is known by its students, has traditionally educated the Colombian upper class. It is one of the 33 universities entrusted to the Society of Jesus in Latin America and one of 167 around the world.

The Bogotá campus has 18 schools comprising 61 departments and 242 academic programs catering to areas of knowledge, giving the university its multidisciplinary nature. It has 45 buildings in 445 acre. The Pance, Cali campus offers 18 schools in four faculties. Its Law School recently received a high-quality accreditation by Resolution 6808 on 6 August 2010, from the Ministry of National Education. The campus in Cali has sectional divisions of the Bolsa de Valores de Colombia (BVC), Temple University's Fox School of Business, and others.1623. The university is one of the twelve universities in Colombia having a high-quality institutional accreditation, granted to it for eight years by Resolution 1320, 12 June 2003, of the Ministry of National Education.

The university has 21 undergraduate programs with high-quality accreditation, and eight programs in advanced stages of the accreditation process. In graduate programs, quality is acknowledged through the Qualified Registries. The university has over 87 graduate programs. According to the QS World University Rankings in 2023, the university was ranked #382 globally, #18 in Latin America, and #3 in Colombia.

History
The College of the Society of Jesus was established in Santafé de Bogotá in 1604 as part of the San Bartolome School and Cloister. In 1623, the Audience and the Archbishop recognized the academic degrees conferred by the college. The students at that time received their degree, including Pedro Claver. That is the origin of what was known as the University and Academy of Saint Francis Xavier. In 1767, the Jesuits were expelled from the Spanish colonies, which closed the first stage of Universidad Javeriana's history.

Then 163 years after the university closed, an act of restoration was signed. In 1937, the School of Economics and Legal Sciences was founded, with the others following. In 1970, after multiple petitions from the community of Pance, Cali, the university started a program in that city. The Universidad Javeriana in Cali took the name of "Cali Branch", offering degrees in business, engineering, and psychology.

Main Campus in Bogotá
The university's main campus has a total area of 445 acres (180ha) and approximately 202,988 spared meters of construction. Inside, there are a total of 45 buildings, 18 cafeterias, 1 university bookstore, a hospital, 1 parking block building with 1200 parking spaces, and 1 travel agency. The main campus is located inside the locality of Chapinero in eastern Bogotá since 1940. This campus borders important city landmarks such as the Parque Nacional Enrique Olaya Herrera to the south, the emblematic Carrera Séptima (seventh street) on the west end, the Eastern Hills (Bogotá) and the traditional Chapinero Block to the north. Today this university maintains its open campus environment that allows pedestrians to walk on the interior. A brief history of some of the university's most emblematic buildings: Most Buildings are named after previous presidents or deceased Jesuit Faculty members who were important members of the academic community.

 * 1951: The university begins its modern development with the construction of the Edificio Emilio Arango, S.J., today this building is home to the university's central government and administration.
 * 1955: Hospital Universitario San Ignacio is built, home to the school of Medicine.
 * 1954: The inauguration of the Edificio Félix Restrepo, S.J. alongside the programs of Bacteriology, Art and Decorations, Law, Nursing, Commerce, and Philosophy.

Alongside this building there is also the Javeriana Centre for Sport Education (Gym, Sports and Training Facilities) and the Manuel Briceño, S.J. Building for The School of Psychology, The School of Social Sciences, and The School of Philosophy.

This plan includes the construction of the new Comparative Biology Building (2009), the Faculty of Arts Building (2014), the Jorge Hoyos, S.J. Building (now nicknamed "The Arc" for its peculiar architectural design) which opened in 2016, The ATICO Center (2009), one of the most technologically advanced buildings in Latin America for the Arts and Communication Studies (Atico is an acronym in Spanish for "High Technology, information, and computing").

The School of Engineering Laboratory Building (the tallest building on campus with a total of 15 floors) that opened its doors in 2020, the new Science Labs Building, and the Continuing Studies off-campus Building in the northern part of the city which is still under construction. The master plan also includes the construction of a new and more modern Hospital, an auditorium capable of holding ceremonies with up to 1,800 people at once, the new School of Architecture and Design Building, and an expansion to the gym facilities to include an on-campus pool.

Cali Branch
On 6 October 1970, responding to requests from the local community and the efforts of a group of practicing accountants who aspired to obtain the university degree, a Program of Public Accounting began in Cali. This was the origin of the Cali branch of the Javeriana University. On 20 November 1978, the board proposed the name Cali Branch, with headquarters in the capital under the same organization and higher authorities. The board of regents, at the request of the board, adopted the name Cali Branch.

The campus of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali is located in the south of the city, in Pance, at the foot of the Farallones de Cali, part of the Cordillera Occidental, in a totally rural environment where vegetation and fauna abound. The campus consists of nine buildings (Las Palmas, Guayacanes, classrooms block, administration, Saman, Almendros, continuing education, Las Acacias and Cedro Rosado). The campus features multiple cafés and restaurants, the Javeriana Shop, a large parking lot surrounding the entire campus, a branch of Corpbanca, a center of the Colombia Stock Exchange, and an MBA extension of Temple University Fox School of Business and Management.

The campus includes Alfonso Borrero Cabal auditorium; Central Library, one of the most complete in the Colombian Southwest; Loyola Sports Center; the office of entrepreneurship "Campus Nova", which fosters entrepreneurial talent within the university; and the Javeriano Writing Center, highly regarded for helping students develop writing skills.

The university has 35 research groups attached to the government Administrative Department of Science, Technology and Innovation; and a station, Javeriana Stereo FM 107.5 with a wide audience in the Colombian Southwest. It offers students opportunities in more than 87 countries and boasts 120 academic cooperation agreements with universities abroad.

Currently, the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali offers 19 undergraduate programs of which eight have received quality accreditation by the Ministry of Education (Civil Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering and Computer Science, Business Administration, Accounting law and Psychology). It is well known for its Law and International Business degrees. The law degree from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali is prestigious in Cali and the Colombian Suroccidente, profiting from one of the most complete moot courts for student practice. The Cali branch of the Faculty of Health Sciences inaugurated the Moot Hospital which has high-tech teams and a superior infrastructure for student interns.

In March 2012, the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali received the Institutional Accreditation of High Quality from the Ministry of Education for eight years, placing it among the more competitive private universities in the country.

NPOV
This is really written in an extremely fan boyish manner. I respect the work of Mr. Wiggles, but this does need to be more nuetral.

It says right before the appendices: -- Written by manager Robbin Dunn, that is a pretty good explanation for the NPOV problem and shows that Mr. Dunn isn't completely familiar with wikipedia either... Arru 00:02, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to try clean this up, section by section using the current text as basis. Arru 14:18, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

…and done! I still think there's too much trivia and namedropping, Wiggles is mainly known as a funk style dancer and that's what should be the focus of the article. And perhaps some more on his role in RSC. Anyhow, I kept the NPOV sign hanging, someone else should give it a look too. Arru 15:12, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Unnatural Selection (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

"Unnatural Selection" is the seventh episode of the second season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, the 33rd episode overall. It was first broadcast on January 30, 1989. It was written by John Mason and Mike Gray, and directed by Paul Lynch.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the Starfleet crew of the Federation starship Enterprise-D. In this episode, the Enterprise encounters a Starfleet supply ship where everyone has died from rapid aging. They must find the cause before scientists on a research colony suffer the same fate.

The episode received a 1989 Emmy award nomination for hair styling.

Plot
The Federation starship Enterprise, under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), receives a distress call from the USS Lantree and finds it adrift. The Enterprise taps into the Lantree's viewer and finds that the crew appear to have died from old age, even though many were as young as the Enterprise crew. The only evidence of any medical problems was a harmless case of Thelusian flu in one of the ship's officers. They discover that the Lantree's last port-of-call was the Darwin Genetic Research Station on Gagarin IV. Captain Picard orders a quarantine warning broadcast to be set on the Lantree and orders the Enterprise to Gagarin IV. As they near the planet, they receive another distress call from the station's researchers, all of whom have started a rapid onset of geriatric phenomena they believe is tied to the Lantree.

When the Enterprise arrives in orbit, the research team's leader pleads to have the station's genetically engineered children brought aboard, asserting that they are safe, as they have been in isolation from the rest of the station. Picard is concerned with exposing the Enterprise to the same phenomenon that is affecting the station but allows his Chief Medical Officer Dr. Pulaski (Diana Muldaur) to have one of the children beamed aboard encased in styrolite, which shields the rest of the ship from possible contamination. The child, a male teenager, is brought to sick bay and Dr. Pulaski is fascinated by him, describing him as the "next step in human evolution". She convinces Picard to allow her to take a shuttle away from the Enterprise, so that she can examine the child outside of the styrolite without exposing the rest of the crew and recruits Commander Data (Brent Spiner) as pilot, who as an android is immune to infection. When she removes the protective material, the boy awakens and telepathically communicates with her. She is suddenly struck by joint pain and recognizes that she must be experiencing with the same condition as the Lantree and station crew, so instead of returning to the Enterprise she orders Data to pilot the shuttle to the research station.

Dr. Pulaski continues to investigate the cause of the syndrome at the station. She learns that the children have been genetically engineered with highly aggressive immune systems that fight pathogens by genetically altering them – not just inside the children's bodies, but also in the environment outside of their bodies. Recalling the Lantree officer with Thelusian flu, Dr. Pulaski postulates that the children's immune systems' reaction to the virus has created airborne antibodies that are attacking all living things, and this manifests as altering the DNA of normal humanoids to cause them to age rapidly and die.

With this information, the crew of the Enterprise determine that the transporters may be able to remove the antibodies and re-code an infected individual's DNA to normal - but only with a previous bio-pattern of that individual, which at first they do not have for Dr. Pulaski due to her avoidance of transporter technology. The crew solves this by finding samples of Pulaski's hair in her quarters and using that DNA as a template to restore her to full health. The Enterprise then uses the same procedure to restore the station's staff, noting that the children will never be able to live with other humans, and then returns to the contaminated Lantree to destroy the ill-fated vessel.

Production
Special Effects works was done by Image G. The USS Lantree shown in this episode was a redress of the USS Reliant model that was used for the 1982 feature film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Hair styling was done by Richard Sabre.

Reception
Zack Handlen of The A.V. Club gave it a grade B+. Keith R.A. DeCandido of Tor.com rated the episode 3 out of 10.

Den of Geek's James Hunt wrote: "There are bits of this which are interesting – the mystery of what caused the disease, the exploration of the character work between Picard and Pulaski" but was critical of the ending and recommended viewers skip the episode.

References and accuracy
The section on the 4411th CCTG cites Ravenstein. He does not mention the group. Moreover, the group was not inactivated in 1963, it continued at Shaw until 1969 (see Mueller, p. 532). In addition the resources of the 837th Air Division (also mentioned in this section) did not transfer to the 363d Wing, but were used primarily to form the USAF Tactical Air Reconnaissance Center, which activated the same day the 837th inactivated. (again, see Mueller, p. 533).

References to Manning, Martin, Mueller, Ravenstein, Rogers, Shaw lack page numbers.

Reference to Baugher is to a dead link. This also appears to be referenced more than one way. (see comment on Shaw AFB site below. Cannot verify because of dead link).

References are in a peculiar format. There appears to be an attempt to link some, but the links are not correct. Use of the cite book and cite web templates could help in this area.

1965 Accident?
A list of industrial disasters elsewhere on Wikipedia contains the following:

"August 9, 1965: Little Rock AFB in Searcy, Arkansas. 53 contract workers were killed during a fire at a Titan missile silo. The cause of the fire was determined to be a welding rod damaging a hydraulic hose allowing hydraulic vapors to leak and spread throughout the silo, which were then ignited by an open flame source."

DoD's only C-130 training base?
The claim "Little Rock AFB is the only C-130 training base for the Department of Defense" appears to be in disagreement with the article Berry Field Air National Guard Base which claims "Berry Field and the 118 AW currently operate the C-130 International Training Center, an AETC activity in support of DoD Foreign Military Sales" and the article Rosecrans Air National Guard Base which claims "The AATTC is a tenant activity at [Rosecrans ANGB] that provides current academic and combat flying tactics and training to C-130 airlift air crews".

Base status, 2016
This base has been on the closure list since at least 2005, yet I can find no evidence that it has actually been closed. In fact, air tanker operations have been transferred from another base to Altus AFB ca. 2013. Can anyone provide an updte on the status of AFB? Bruin2 (talk) 15:52, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Altus was not on the closure list at all. It was placed on the 2005 BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) list. Not every facility on the list is there to be closed. Most of the facilities on the list are there because they are being realigned. That is what happened to Altus. The complete 2005 BRAC report can be found here. The report shows that the base lost 16 military and 10 indirect jobs. It says "Establish a MAF LSC at Scott Air Force Base by realigning RSS positions from Hurlburt Field and Sembach (non-BRAC programmatic) and LRS positions from Little Rock Air Force Base and Altus Air Force Base." Those 16 positions that it lists were Logistics Readiness Squadron positions that moved to Scott AFB Illinois. -- GB fan 23:59, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Tirat Carmel

28 August 2005
I have edited the article and made the following corrections: 1. Matam is municipally a part of Haifa and therefore I removed the reference to it in this article. 2. I added a reference to the Palestinian Arab village of Tira, on whose site the modern town was founded. 3. Corrections of style in English.

The village of Tira has no relation to Tirat Carmel whatsoever. It is located in a comletely different region in israel (Central Israel, compared to Tirat Carmel's Northern location). Also, MATAM is considered a part of Tirat Carmel, not Haifa. I have therefore changed it back.

I Disagree With the Original Article Reversion
I disagree with your reverting to the previous form of the article on Tirat Carmel:

1. Matam is not part of Tirat Carmel. You must consider that the Matam park was developed originally by The 'Hevra Calcalit LeHayfa' before being sold to the current owner GavYam. It is located within the municipal boundaries of Haifa. Perhaps you are confounding this with the Tirat Carmel Industrial Zone located at the northern entrance to the town, which has it's own share of Hi-tech firms, notably GE Medical Systems.

2. There was more than one Palestinian Arab village by the name of Tira. You must be referring to the Arab-Israeli town of Tira in the Triangle near central Israel. However, the site of modern Tirat Carmel was occupied by another Palestinian Arab village named Tira, whence Tirat Carmel received it's name. Some reminders of the Arab village remain, such as the building used today by the Tirat Carmel police.

3. When you write that "With the establishment of the State of Israel, the city finally came under Jewish control", I fear you are making a political value judgement. Such biases have no place in the Wikipedia which must strive to be as objective as possible. Please, let us describe only the facts. We cannot seem to be representing one or the other side to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. We can only strive to record all verifiable facts.

I am awaiting your response, so that we may reach a resolution. Please note that if you wish we can communicate in Hebrew, perhaps by email. --RCSB 17:58, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Merged Tirat Karmel with Tirat Carmel
1. Mount Carmel is written with a 'C', and therefore Tirat Carmel and not Tirat Karmel. Also, the official website of Tirat Carmel Municipality is: http://www.tirat-carmel.muni.il. That is, again with a 'c'

2. I have added an external link which validates my claim that Tirat Carmel was developed on the site of the Palestinian-Arab village of al-Tira.

3. MATAM is not in Tirat Carmel. It is muniicpally a part of Haifa. For proof follow the following external link: http://www.gav-yam.co.il/GavYam/site/matam/eng/about_us/main.asp RCSB 17:59, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

List of most expensive photographs

This is a list of the 30 highest prices paid for photographs (in US dollars unless otherwise stated). All prices include the buyer's premium, which is the auction house fee for handling the work.

Disputed claim

 * 1) In December 2014, Peter Lik reportedly sold a photograph titled Phantom to an anonymous bidder for $6.5 million, making it potentially the third highest price paid for a photograph.   Lik's claim has been greeted with much scepticism. Claims of the sale have never been proven, and the buyer has not come forward, though a lawyer claiming to represent the buyer claims that the deal was real.

A global view? Or a topic only affecting the US?
When reading through the article, it does seem that the topic (and the discussion around it) is very much focused solely on the United States. It would be good if the lead paragraph could explain why the topic is an issue only affecting the US. It does explain that CRT "began in the United States in the post–civil rights era", but not why it's remained an issue that only appears to be controversial/discussed in the US. (Is CRT the cause for much debate in other countries? Or is there a distinct difference between anglophone countries and non-anglophone countries?)

It would also be good if the article could signpost other articles dealing with perspectives in other regions.

DrFrench (talk) 14:02, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

 * It could be because CRT was developed in the U.S. to explain why African Americans remained disadvantaged even after American law had ended segregation. I don't think the article has to explain why an American school of study designed to address an American problem doesn't have the same influence outside the U.S. TFD (talk) 16:49, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * (I think your summary explains it better than the article's opening paragraph!) It might be worthwhile to make it explicit in the opening paragraph that CRT is a US-specific school of study adressing a US-specific problem. As someone from the UK, I know very little about the topic. DrFrench (talk) 18:25, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I think that because the article focuses on a subject that was started in the United States and continues to be adapted, discussed, and brought up in academic and political settings in the United States only. I haven't been able to find anything (either in Google Scholar, through my university's library services, or through reputable new sources online) directing me to believe that this is an international issue.
 * I think this article should be edited in its first paragraph to clarify that this is a uniquely American theorem, and any edits that you would recommend about systemic racism for other countries should be added to the main Racism article or that country's specific racism article (or appropriate section about that country/country's politics/country's ideals). I also think that when that happens, the banner complaining about it not including a "worldwide view" on the subject should be removed.
 * If anyone finds anything suggesting that this isn't just about the United States, please make any and all appropriate expansion to this article. Jwilli39 (talk) 04:44, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Also, sorry about butchering that first paragraph. Forgot to proofread it before posting. Whoops! Jwilli39 (talk) 04:45, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Outside the US but definitely within the Anglosphere, the British Government (Conservatives) has debated Critical Race Theory and come out against it and there is a British political party who have pledged to ban the teaching of Critical Race Theory in schools. (It isn't taught in schools, of course). MartinPoulter (talk) 16:24, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey, are you sure vis-a-vis the british conservatives debating it this isn't just a case of reactionaries internationally following American reactionaries in Teutonic lockstep? It's happened before where Trump or some other prominent American on the right brings up an issue, or amplifies one, and then is brought up much more internationally. I'd have to see it being brought up as serious policy, to say it truly exists outside the States. AxderWraith Crimson (talk) 23:41, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Agree with the last editor. It's just a case of British right-wingers copying U.S. right-wing talking points. TFD (talk) 06:18, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @DrFrench I found the article confusing as well because when it talks about CRT in general it often mentions the US 110.175.32.209 (talk) 16:08, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The gimmick with CRT as an academic paradigm is that when it was originally created, it was not originally calibrated to discuss situations in either non-Western or non-American contexts (for example, to my knowledge, there have never been any academic studies using the lens of CRT to discuss systemic racism in Mainland China even though China has over 56 non-Chinese minority ethnic groups, and also despite the fact that this region should in theory should be a fertile setting for discussing inter-ethnic economic disparity in a non-Western context).
 * Put another way, trying to discuss how the CRT paradigm is applied in non-Western contexts is essentially not much different from trying to apply the philosophy of Ambedkarism to situations that don't involve the indigenous culture of India. Because of this situational oddity, even extremely balanced and well-intentioned attempts to discuss CRT in "a global context" will almost always result in a near-exclusive focus on the US and other Anglo-American countries. Because of this, it's kind of pointless to fault the article for not featuring a level of "global coverage" that has likely never existed. 136.36.123.146 (talk) 06:12, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

edit request
The first sentence literally has too many commas: the one before shape and the one after shaped by are grammatically incorrect, implying the necessary verbs are a parenthetical phrase (almost immediately after the grammatically correct use of commas around an actual parenthetical phrase, social and political). Combined with how often the word and appears in the sentence, the text is easy to misinterpret as a (nonsensical) list.

Please change

Riventree (talk) 01:41, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

 * You have misread the article, which states that 1960s civil rights laws were subsequently eroded, leading to re-segregation. MrOllie (talk) 03:00, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
 * This is still factually incorrect. In some cases limited resegregation was attempted, primarily in some southern states, but the overall trend in the US was firmly towards resegregation.  Your reply implies that re-segregation was re-introduced everywhere, which is patently false.  Please correct the original comment to clarify this reality. 187.237.117.227 (talk) 15:02, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @MrOllie I think a slight re-wording is warranted, to include the below and maybe to say it's a de factio segregation based on location. What are your thoughts?
 * from the segregation article
 * "Racial segregation has either increased or stayed constant since 1990, depending on which definition of segregation is used. In general, definitions based on the amount of interaction between black and white students show increased racial segregation, while definitions based on the proportion of black and white students in different schools show racial segregation remaining approximately constant." 194.223.37.69 (talk) 10:48, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Shifting the time frame to 1990 would be highly misleading, since much of the re-segregation happened prior. Suggesting that this is 'de facto segregation based on location' would also be misleading, since the locations didn't end up segregated by coincidence - it was the chief workaround governments employed to try to get around Brown v. Board of Education. The Color of Law is a book on this subject you might consider picking up, it explains what happened with regard to this topic in great detail.

Edit Request
The topic of critical races has been used to describe problems in asynchronous logic design leading to nondeterministic outputs. Typically tought in automata theory.The fields affected are both computer science and electrical engineering. Please add a note. Critical races, in that context are not theory, but observable  fact.

 * @Gaither In computing and digital electronics, I think  it's referred to as a race condition, rather than race theory. 194.223.37.69 (talk) 10:42, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Winston's War

Winston's War is a 2002 novel by Michael Dobbs that presents a fictional account of the struggle of Winston Churchill to combat the appeasement policies of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.

Plot summary
The story starts with Chamberlain's 1938 triumphant return to 10 Downing Street, a public hero after the signing of the Munich Agreement with Adolf Hitler, declaring "peace in our time." The story ends with the fall of the Chamberlain Government, and the appointment of Churchill as Prime Minister.

Churchill, relegated to the periphery of British politics by the late 1930s, lashes out against appeasement despite having almost no support from fellow parliamentarians or the British press. The novel includes many of the momentous historical personages of the day: Chamberlain, the ailing and pacifist Prime Minister; Churchill, the political outcast, whose pugnacity created opprobrium in the public eye; Joseph Kennedy, the U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James's; Guy Burgess, an alcoholic BBC journalist of later Cold War infamy; the machiavellian newspaper mogul Max Aitken (Lord Beaverbrook), and the stuttering and insecure King George VI, who personally detests Churchill and tries to persuade his good friend, Lord Halifax, to take the reins of leadership.

Winston's War is the first in a series of novels by Dobbs about Churchill's wartime leadership. The sequel Never Surrender continues the storyline over the first few weeks of Churchill's premiership.

Ogden–Hinckley Airport

Ogden-Hinckley Airport is a public airport four miles southwest of Ogden, in Weber County, Utah. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2019–2023 categorized it as a commercial service–primary nonhub airport. Formerly Ogden Municipal Airport, it is billed as Utah's busiest municipal airport for private planes.

The airport has an FAA control tower with radar approach service by Salt Lake City TRACON.

History
During World War II, the airfield was used by the United States Army Air Forces.

Commercial service began when Western Airlines arrived in 1944, operating a route between Los Angeles and Great Falls, Montana. Ogden was one of many stops on the route falling between Salt Lake City and Pocatello, Idaho. United Airlines began serving Ogden in 1946 as one of many stops on a transcontinental route between San Francisco and New York. Both carriers pulled out in 1959. West Coast Airlines replaced them until it pulled out in 1961. In 1964, Thunderbird Airlines began air-taxi flights to Salt Lake City. The carrier changed names to Key Airlines in 1969 and again to Sun Valley Key in 1972. All service ended by 1976, and Ogden saw no other service for the next 36 years.

Service at the airport resumed in 2012, with Allegiant Air launching service to Phoenix–Mesa Gateway Airport in September 2012. Nearly a decade later, Avelo Airlines announced it would begin service from Ogden to Los Angeles’ Hollywood Burbank Airport on May 4, 2021. Both airlines ended their service at the airport in 2022, with Allegiant Air citing a shortage of pilots as a main reason, and Avelo stating that the high price of fuel was a major factor in their decision to leave Ogden. The two airlines departing allowed the city to accelerate the previously scheduled renovation work, including constructing a new control tower and expanding the airport several thousand square feet. Service resumed again on February 21, 2024, with Breeze Airways beginning service to Santa Ana's John Wayne Airport.

Facilities
Ogden-Hinckley Airport covers 721 acres (291 ha) at an elevation of 4,473 ft. It has two asphalt runways: 3/21 is 8,103 by; 17/35 is 5,195 by. Note: Runway 7/25 was decommissioned by the FAA at the request of OGD in 2016.

In 2022 the airport had 108,023 aircraft operations, average 296 per day: 96.1% general aviation, less than 1% military, and 3.6% airline / air taxi. 308 aircraft were then based at the airport: 80% single-engine, 10% multi-engine, 3% helicopter, 7% jet.

Accidents and incidents

 * On December 18, 1953, a United States Air Force B-29 Superfortress intending to land at Hill Air Force Base landed at Ogden Municipal Airport by mistake. One of the eight crew was killed when the aircraft crashed and caught fire.
 * On January 16, 2020, a twin-engine Cessna approaching the airport clipped a house and crashed, killing the pilot.
