John Saul's Blackstone Chronicles

John Saul's Blackstone Chronicles: An Adventure in Terror is a 1998 computer adventure game developed by Legend Entertainment and published by Red Orb Entertainment, a Mindscape subsidiary.

The game is based on serial novels that were written by John Saul, titled Blackstone Chronicles.

A sequel to the novels, the game takes place several years after the sixth book, and continues the story of Oliver Metcalf, his family, and the town of Blackstone.

Plot
The game starts with Oliver arriving at the Blackstone Asylum, which has been purchased and is being turned into a Museum of Psychiatric History. That doesn't sit well with Malcolm Metcalf, Oliver's father and last superintendent of the Asylum, who died some forty years before. All of the activity involved in transforming the Asylum has awakened its residents. For reasons not yet known to Oliver or the player, his father's spirit has taken his son, Joshua, and hidden him somewhere in the Asylum, apparently to coerce Oliver there.

Exploring the mansion, Oliver encounters several spirits of patients who are bound to the asylum by their possessions, including a teenage girl with hysterical pregnancy, a schizophrenic who believes she's English royalty, and a depressed woman who was treated with steam baths and hydrotherapy. Oliver discovers that his father psychologically tortured to suicide or allowed several of his patients to be killed under the guise of accidents during treatment. This is counterpointed by the sterile and rose-tinted explanations from the museum equipment for the same procedures or implements (lancets are described as an attempt to bring the bodies humours into balance, where the spirit of a patient with Alzheimer's disease declares they were used liberally so patients could not defend themselves). Disheartened by the failure of traditional medicine, Oliver's father gradually turned to more and more extreme methods, including totally dismembering and vivisecting an 8-year-old boy to cure his illness. Eventually his treatments turned to outright torture, as a punishment of undesirable behaviors to eventually remove them.

Over the course of the game, Oliver collects several personal items that influence him, causing him to nearly kill himself in several psychiatric methods (ECT, self-injecting neuro-toxins, locking himself in a steam box). His father Malcolm implies this is caused by the inherent evil contained within the items, although its heavily implied that Oliver developed these traps himself while under Malcolm's control, through a long, complicated sequence of post-hypnotic suggestions.

Oliver's father eventually reveals his plan. While Oliver has been trapped in the asylum and continued to refuse Malcolm's demands that Oliver take vengeance on Malcolm's enemies, Malcolm returned Joshua home, and instructs him to murder his mother with a straight razor, as a punishment of Oliver for his disobedience to his father and to make Joshua a monster with Malcolm's similar outlook. With the help of the spirits trapped in the asylum, Oliver destroys the artifacts of his father throughout the asylum, banishing his father's spirit.

Development
Production of Blackstone Chronicles' audiovisuals was outsourced to Presto Studios, creators of the Journeyman Project series.

Reception
The game received above-average reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. In Computer Gaming World, Allen Greenberg summarized, "Blackstone Chronicles is definitely a unique piece of work with a gripping storyline, wonderful graphics, and a most talented cast. It should not be missed." John Altman of Computer Games Strategy Plus considered the game "recommendable, if not rave-worthy." He found the graphics middling, and felt that the game's heavy reliance on written text bogged down the experience. However, he wrote that Blackstone Chronicles has "good atmosphere, well-integrated puzzles, and the occasional truly memorable scene."

Reviewing the game for PC Gamer US, T. Liam McDonald called it "the kind of narrative-driven, atmospheric adventure game we see too little of in these days of soulless Myst clones." While he disliked its visuals and lack of character interaction, he felt that Blackstone Chronicles offered "enough to recommend it to many adventure-starved gamers." Next Generation said, "Even with the horror setting, the game may not have emotional charge to hook most players. And the subject matter is very mature, ruling it out for younger kids. Still, it's a good story with enough spooky flavor to keep adventure fanatics entertained."

The game was a finalist for Computer Gaming World's 1998 "Best Adventure" award, which ultimately went to Grim Fandango and Sanitarium (tie). In 2011, Adventure Gamers named it the 43rd-best adventure game ever released.

Janet Langhart

Janet Leola Langhart Cohen (née Floyd; born December 22, 1941) is an American television journalist and anchor, and author. Beginning her career as a model, she started in television reporting the weather.

She serves as president and CEO of Langhart Communication. She is the spouse of former Defense Secretary William Cohen. She has written two memoirs, one with her husband. In June 2009, her one-act play Anne and Emmett, inspired by the lives of Anne Frank and Emmett Till, premiered at the United States Holocaust Museum.

Early life and education
She was born as Janet Leola Floyd in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1941. She and her mother Mary Floyd lived in an Indianapolis housing project; her mother worked as a maid and hospital ward secretary. Both her parents were African-American; they also had European and Native American ancestry. Her mother, Mary, and her father, Sewell Bridges, had formed a relationship at a young age but they never married. Bridges served in World War II and abandoned his family after the war. Her mother married a Baptist preacher, but they ultimately divorced. Janet and her brother and sister were raised by their mother.

In 1959, Janet Floyd earned her high school diploma from Crispus Attucks High School in Indianapolis. She was a member of the band and debate team. From 1960 until 1962, she attended Butler University. But after attending Butler for her freshman year, her scholarship money expired, and she was unable to continue; she then took some extension courses at Indiana University, before going to work full-time.

Marriages and family
Floyd married Melvin Anthony Langhart in 1968; but the marriage was brief, lasting only three months. Her second marriage was to Dr. Robert Kistner, a Harvard Medical School professor who specialized in the treatment of endometriosis. The two were married in 1978, and Langhart filed for divorce a decade later. She married Senator William Cohen in 1996.

Media career
In 1962, Langhart began her career in Chicago as a model, where she worked for Marshall Field's and the Ebony Fashion Fair. She won the title of Miss Chicagoland in 1967. At the age of 29, Langhart became the first black "weathergirl" for WBBM-TV in 1970, having previously been the "weather gal" at channel 26, WCIU. Around this time, she also began hosting an early morning interview program for women on WISH-TV in Indianapolis; it was called "Indy Today." Doing both shows made it necessary for her to commute between Indianapolis and Chicago.

Langhart became a well-known black television journalist at numerous stations. She joined Boston's WCVB-TV for the first time in September 1973, where she co-hosted the morning program Good Day! (originally titled Good Morning!). She would leave and return several times between 1973 and 1987. By 1976, Good Day was being syndicated to 75 television stations across the United States. She became known for her interviews with celebrities and news-makers. Among the famous people with whom she spoke were contralto Marian Anderson, jazz star Louis Armstrong, and popular singer Tony Bennett, as well as Rosa Parks and David Duke. She became friends with comedian Dick Gregory, Muhammad Ali and F. Lee Bailey, and she has said her mentors include civil rights leaders Melnea Cass and Martin Luther King Jr.

She was hired by NBC in mid-1978, and relocated to New York to host a daily talk and interview show called People to People. But the new show was soon renamed America Alive, and Langhart became a roving correspondent and co-host, along with Bruce Jenner and Pat Mitchell, rather than doing her own program. A few critics thought the program had potential, but most of the critics thought it was unwatchable; one called it "superficial" and "tacky", and another said it was a "dud" that deserved to "get the gong." Viewers did not embrace the show either, resulting in America Alive getting canceled after only six months. After that, Langhart worked on a television show at WOR-TV in New York City called 9 Broadcast Plaza alongside Richard Bey. She returned to Boston television, producing some special programming for WNEV-TV (channel 7). She then briefly rejoined WCVB-TV (Channel 5), making some appearances on Good Day. In 1989, she began doing segments for Entertainment Tonight and by early 1990, the show named her its New York correspondent. But Langhart was later fired from Entertainment Tonight, which she believed was because she asked Arnold Schwarzenegger, about his father Gustav Schwarzenegger's Nazi background, apparently violating an agreement he had with producers. "I was terminated by The Terminator", she remarked. Later, she was a commentator on Black Entertainment Television (BET). She has also worked as a correspondent for the Boston Herald, and the Boston Globe. She has been a spokeswoman for U.S. News & World Report and Avon Cosmetics. Politically, she says she identifies as a liberal Democrat.

Marriage to Cohen and Pentagon life
Langhart met William Cohen during a long-distance interview when she was based in Boston and he was a Congressman from Maine. They did not meet in person until she worked for BET in Washington, D.C.; Andrew Young set up an interview for her with Cohen. They remained friends. They began dating after each divorced. The couple married in the United States Capitol on Valentine's Day 1996. Cohen, a moderate Republican, was appointed by President Bill Clinton as his Secretary of Defense.

When William Cohen became Secretary of Defense, Langhart-Cohen became known as "First Lady of the Pentagon." She had a visible public role while Cohen was in office. She spurred several initiatives to support the morale and well-being of military and civilian employees of the Defense Department, including the Military Family Forum, the Pentagon Pops concert series, the Secretary of Defense Annual Holiday Tour (an entertainment revue), and her series of interviews on Pentagon TV, Special Assignment. She was given a volunteer position as "First Lady of the USO" and helped recruit celebrities and civilians to work with the United Service Organizations.

In 1999, Langhart-Cohen founded the Citizen Patriot Organization (CPO), a non-profit dedicated to recognizing "those who serve, protect, and defend the United States of America". The group periodically presents a CPO Award. The award has been given to Jack Valenti and John McCain. The group has also organized events including a Homeland Defense Tour. This brought appreciation events to first responders at the September 11 attacks sites and other domestic locations, and a Citizen Patriot tour to military locations overseas.

Writing
Langhart is the author of a memoir, My Life in Two Americas; From Rage to Reason (2004). She and her husband William together wrote a joint memoir, Love in Black and White (2007). It explores race, religion, and the bonds that Langhart and Cohen share through similar life circumstances and backgrounds.

Langhart wrote Anne and Emmett, a one-act play that imagines a conversation between Anne Frank, a German Jew who died in a Nazi concentration camp, and Emmett Till, an African American from Chicago who was lynched in a small town in the Mississippi Delta. They were both young teenagers at their deaths. It premiered in 2009.

Holocaust Museum shooting
On the afternoon of June 10, 2009, Langhart was on her way to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for the premiere of her play, Anne and Emmett. It was to be presented in honor of the 80th anniversary of Anne Frank's birth. Her husband William Cohen was waiting for her at the museum.

The premiere was cancelled after 88-year-old James Wenneker von Brunn fatally shot a security guard. Langhart and her husband appeared on CNN that afternoon to describe what they had seen.

Talk:Morarji Desai

Traitor
R&AW grew stronger till Mrs Gandhi didn't loose elections after emergency. This was Indian Prime minister Morarji's who shared R&AW's superb officials names list with other foreign intelligence agencies and got them eliminated. After emergency, Mrs Gandhi came to power but by then ISI & NATO's agencies succeeded damaging R&AW considerably. Our agency miserably failed in Sri Lanka & Punjab. Many unsung heroes of R&AW died in line of duty. Morarji Desai was given "Nishaan- E-Pakistan" after he lost elections for his obedient role destroying R&AW. India doesn't have any policy for dealing with political treason. Prashanna01 (talk) 19:21, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

He did not resign from Congress
On 12 November 1969, Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi was expelled from the Congress party for helping candidate opposing the official nominee of the Congress party. Indira Gandhi then organized her own faction of the Congress party called Congress(R) while Moraraji Desai and K. Kamaraj remained in the original Congress now termed Congress (O). It is incorrect to say that Morarji Desai had resigned from Congress. See Indian National Congress (Organisation) Malaiya (talk) 06:02, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Paid informer to the CIA
In his book The Price of Power, Seymour Hersh claims that Morarji Desai was paid $20,000 a year for leaking the details of the cabinet meetings of Indra Gandhi, see pages 450-477, Kindle Edition. Is anybody going to write about that? Surjit Singh (talk) 19:35, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

In a Premier League season, each team plays each opponent twice, once "home" and once "away" (in actuality, the designation of home and away is purely arbitrary as most of the clubs do not have their own grounds), for a total of 22 games. Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. The club with the most points is crowned champions. If two teams are level on points at the end of the season (to decide champions, for relegation or for UEFA competitions), there will be a play-off to decide the finishing order of the teams. If three or more teams are tied on points (to decide champions, for relegation or for UEFA competitions), teams are ranked by Head-to-head points and the best two teams will play a play-off. The four lowest placed teams are relegated into the Challenge League

European qualification
Clubs finishing the season in the top positions of the Premier League are granted qualification to compete in one of UEFA's European competitions. This is determined by Malta's position in the UEFA coefficient ranking system.

The league winner qualifies for the first qualifying round for the UEFA Champions League. The second- and third-placed teams qualify for the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League. An additional Europa Conference League place is available through the country's domestic cup competition, the FA Trophy. If the winner of the FA Trophy qualifies for Europe through their league position, the fourth-placed team in the league qualifies for the UEFA Europa Conference League's first qualifying round.

League committees
The Premier Division Standing Committee (PDSC) is a body composed of the Premier League club presidents who represent their club on a board. These do not have executive powers but are a formal body that has official influence with regards to rules, regulations and issues that relate to the league. From time to time the committee makes proposals to the respective and MFA bodies for approval.

Seasons in Maltese Premier League
37 teams have taken part in the Maltese Premier League since the 1945-46 season (i.e. the season that introduced promotion and relegation, and during which the MFA changed the rules of the clubs that every locality they have to represent one club) until the 2024-25 season. Hibernians F.C. is the only team that has played Maltese Premier League football every season. Teams in bold participate in the 2024-25 season.

Qichun County

Qichun County is a county of eastern Hubei province, People's Republic of China. It is under the administration of Huanggang City.

Qichun County has been a major historical center of traditional Chinese medicine. It is known in China as the "Professor County", due to the high amount of professors and other academic experts hailing from the county.

Toponymy
Qichun County is named after the abundant qicai, a variety of Chinese celery, in the area.

History
The area of present-day Qichun County has been inhabited since the Neolithic age.

In 224 BCE, Qin forces pursued the beaten and retreating Chu forces to Qinan (蕲南; northwest of present-day Qichun in Hubei) and general Xiang Yan, grandfather of future hegemonic king Xiang Yu, was either killed in the action or committed suicide following his defeat.

Qichun County was first established during the Western Han, possibly as early as 201 BCE. Due to its strategic location, in history Qichun was referred to as “The Key Point of Jingchu” (Jingchu is another name of the ancient state of Chu and the region belonged to it).

Three Kingdoms period
During the Three Kingdoms period, Qichun was made a commandery. In the summer of 223 CE, Eastern Wu general He Qi attacked and eliminated an outpost of Cao Wei in the new commandery territory of Qichun, on the southern slopes of the Dabie Shan mountains. But for the next twelve months the northern front remained quiet. The Grand Administrator of Qichun was Jin Zong, a former officer of Sun Quan who had deserted and joined Cao Wei. It appears he was given the commandery appointment at this time, in the hill country of the Dabie Shan on the border region between Lujiang and Jiangxia, so that he could disturb the communications routes along the Yangtze and across that river to the south.

There is evidence that the Qichun commandery had been established a few years earlier, evidently on the basis of the county of that name in Jiangxia Commandery of Later Han, but the territory had been abandoned by Cao Cao at the time of his withdrawal in 213 CE. From this time, after the defeat of Jin Zong's infiltration, the territory was held by Wu. One of the subordinate commanders in He Qi's attack on Qichun was Mi Fang, the erstwhile officer of Guan Yu who had surrendered Jiangling to Lü Meng in 219 AD. Qichun also was evidently a proving ground for renegades.

Later history
During the Southern and Northern dynasties, the area became administered under the. During the Tang dynasty, the area was reorganized as a fu. Qichun would later be reverted to a county.

During the Song dynasty, Qichun County was home to an extraordinarily large market for traditional Chinese medicine, which poet Lu You described as 40 li long.

Prince Jing's Mansion was constructed in Qichun County during the Ming dynasty.

The local herb wholesale market is the third largest in China, with more than 800 million yuan (US$100 million, as of 2006) of annual trading volume.

There is only one hotel of any significance in Qichun. But it is a new hotel, built around 2001.

Social welfare
Qichun County has its own Social Welfare Institute (SWI) to accommodate elderly people, handicapped persons, the homeless, and orphans. The Social Welfare Institute constructed a new building in 2004, designed mainly for the elderly and handicapped children and adults. Children which are abandoned or orphaned, and are awaiting adoption either domestically or internationally, are placed with local foster families. But they visit the SWI weekly for medical checks and group playtime activities. About 400 orphans have been adopted internationally from Qichun County SWI. These children now live with families all over the world: in Canada and the US, in Australasia, and in most countries of Western Europe.

Notable people
Qichun County was a historical center for education and traditional Chinese medicine, as well as an economic and cultural center within eastern Hubei. The county has produced many important historical figures in this field, including herbalist Li Shizhen. Other notable figures from Qichun County during dynastic China include the following:

 * Gu Jingxing (1621–1687), a prolific author of hundreds of books, and an Imperial scholar from a long hereditary line of scholars going back several generations of the Gu family.
 * , a Song dynasty writer.
 * , a famous warrior from the Ming dynasty.

More-recent famous people from Qichun include:
 * Wu Shu (writer and Communist revolutionary, 1902–1985);
 * Hu Feng (literary theorist, 1902–1985);
 * Huang Kan (Professor, newspaper founder, 1886–1935);
 * Zhan Dabei (KMT leftist, 1887–1927);
 * (1879–1930, author and Minister of Internal Affairs in the revolutionary government of Sun Yatsen);
 * Dong Yuhua (leader of student movement and military commander, 1907–1939);

Talk:Will Scarlet

[Untitled]
I have redirected the entry Will_Scarlett to this page. --Avery W. Krouse 07:23, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

Whoever wrote the current entry (current as of Nov. 22, 2005 - anyway) seems to be working from an uncredited, specific version. The story as presented has much in common with the version in Pyle's novel and the ballad Robin Hood and Will Scarlet (also known as Robin Hood Newly Reviv'd). But in those stories, Will's real name is "Young Gamwell" or "Will Gamwell" (in Pyle).

There are many variant versions to Will's last name in the early ballads: Scarlet, Scarlock, Scathelock. While presumably they originally were the same character, this is no longer always the case. For example, in Howard Pyle's novel Scathelocke exists as a separate character from Scarlet. The same is true in Anthony Munday's Elizabethan play The Downfall of Robert, Earl of Huntington where the two Wills are half-brothers.

Robin of Sherwood makes Scathelock Will Scarlet's real name, however.

Traditionally
Traditionally -- that is, in the traditional ballads -- most of Robin Hood's band are not detailed enough so you can tell their ages -- nor is Will Scarlet made younger than most of them. Nor is red silk traditional.

Talk:Leopoldstadt/Archive 1

Well,maybe it's still held,but first it is not popular and actually this don't fit in this article. So removed. --ThomasK 05:57, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

 * Hi, Thomas. The fact that you removed, on the Leopoldstadt page, the same image twice shows a certain amount of stubbornness and lack of co-operation which is a bad thing here at Wikipedia. If you had a better picture to replace the old, we could discuss it. But just removing an image and giving at first an incorrect reason ("no longer held") is a bit too much. Your second reason—that the image doesn't fit in with the article and that the festival in question is "not popular"—is highly debatable and should not automatically lead to its removal.

 * I'm certainly not embarking on an edit war about a photograph although, to be quite honest, I hate seeing uncooperative people like you have their way.  13:27, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

And I hate people like you,which wrote this stuff. This is uncooperative. First reason was wrong,ok. But the second is still justified. So look on the other article, e.g districts. There is no event like this. Only the argument,that you went always to this event is no reason why you post this here. I advise (because I have no image of GNU licence for it) for e.g to post a image of the Riesenrad,which is in the second district.

--ThomasK 14:38, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

 * Wow, I've clearly made friends with one more Wikipedian. Yeah, an image of the Riesenrad would clearly set Wikipedia apart from all the holiday brochures and pictorial histories of Vienna—maybe with a Fiaker in the foreground?

 * By the way, claiming that an assertion is justified is no justification itself. All the best,  15:05, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

It was an example,anyway it is not only for holiday brochures. Please don't be stupid. Apparent, there is no way to discuss this with you as usual. If you want still this photo in the article,do it.

I finish this debate now.

--ThomasK 15:42, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

"Wurstlprater"
I am removing a wrong etymology from the article. First of all, the large amusement park in Leopoldstadt is called Wurstlprater, not Würstlprater (i e no umlaut). Secondly, although Wurst is the German word for sausage, the Wurstlprater is named after Hanswurst—see the explanation below from the now defunct aeiou Encyclopedia.  16:12, May 2, 2005 (UTC)

Hanswurst, buffoonish character of popular theatre and touring companies. Based on the harlequin and pickle-herring figures, J. Stranitzky created the character of the "Wienerischer Hans Wurst" around 1710, further developed by G. Prehauser and J. F. von Kurz ("Bernardon"); J. J. La Roche created the "Kasperl", A. Hasenhut the "Thaddädl", A. Bäuerle the umbrella-maker "Staberl". The fight of J. v. Sonnenfels against extempore comedy and burlesque Hanswurst plays led to the introduction of censorship by Maria Theresia, but the Hanswurst characters remained popular with Viennese audiences until the 19th century (F. Raimund, J. Nestroy).

CFRM-FM

CFRM-FM is a Canadian radio station that broadcasts at 100.7 FM in Little Current, Ontario, serving Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands. The station, a community radio outlet owned by Manitoulin Radio Communication, broadcasts a adult hits format branded as Hits 100.

History
The station originally began operating in 2001 on 101.1 FM, as Manitoulin's first local community radio station with a rock format including a mix of various formats such as oldies, classic hits, retro music with some current music branded as Rock'n the Rock. One of CFRM's mottos were "rock'n the rock" and "when the lights go out we stay on the air because we're powered by rock and roll". CFRM received approval from the CRTC to increase its power from 1.4 watts to 5 watts on July 12, 2002 and received approval again on September 20, 2005 to increase power from 5 watts to 45 watts.

On October 23, 2006, CFRM changes formats to its current country music format. On March 19, 2007, CFRM moved to 100.7 with 1,830 watts. After the move in 2007, the station became 100.7 The Island.

In 2008, Manitoulin Radio Communication Inc. (Manitoulin Radio) applied to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to add a low-power FM transmitter in Sudbury to rebroadcast the programming of CFRM-FM Little Current. The new transmitter in Sudbury would operate at 107.1 MHz (channel 296LP) with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 50 watts. Citing that this "would allow Sudbury residents who own property on Manitoulin Island to stay connected by providing them with important information relating to local weather, marine and road reports and events specific to Manitoulin." That application was denied by the CRTC on April 29, 2008.

On January 20, 2009, the station applied to change its authorized transmission contours by increasing the average effective radiated power from 1,830 watts to 27,500 watts, by decreasing the effective antenna height above average terrain from 164.5 metres to 155 metres. This would change the station's transmitter class from A to B. This application to change the ERP received approval on March 19, 2009.

In 2010, 100.7 The Island FM won Radio Station of the Year in a Secondary Market at the Canadian Country Music Association Awards.

Expanding horizons
In 2014, Craig Timmermans filed an application with the CRTC to add a second sister station at 103.1 FM. If the new station is approved as requested, it will take over CFRM's current country format, while CFRM will reformat as a pop and dance station. The new station was approved on April 1, 2015, as CHAW-FM, with 100.7 becoming Glow 100.

On April 1, 2016 at 12:00 PM, the country station moved to CHAW-FM and CFRM become Glow 100 with a top 40/dance format. The first song to be played on "Glow" was "Cake by the Ocean" by DNCE.

In June 2019, the station was rebranded as Hits 100. The station later switched to a adult hits variety format playing a mix of rock, pop, top 40, hot ac, soft ac, dance, R&B and more with its slogan 80s, 90s and Everything, which also plays some current top 40 hits.

Station owners Craig and Kelly "KT" Timmermans are also producers of the Manitoulin Country Fest, a local country music festival staged each August.

In 2020, it was announced that both CFRM-FM and CHAW-FM would move into their new studios at 1 Radio Rd, Off of Habour View Rd, PO Box 871 Little Current, Ontario P0P 1K0.

Going green
CFRM has implemented a plan to become an environmentally friendly radio station. The project to go "green" consists of three phases:

 * Phase I - Installing a wind turbine with grid tie at the tower site to help power the transmitter plant. This project was completed mid June 2008.
 * Phase II - Installing a vertical wind turbine at CFRM's studios in Little Current. This project will be completed by October 2008.
 * Phase III - Installing multiple wind turbines at the tower site, effectively creating a small wind farm which would also put excess power onto the grid.

More recently, the station has pursued further environmental initiatives. As of 2014, the station's daytime studio operations are powered entirely by a diesel electric generator running on used fryer oil recycled from local restaurants. In early 2015, the station also added a bidirectional electricity meter, so that unused power from the generator can be contributed back into the electrical grid.

During its history as a low-power experimental station, CFRM served a testbed for technologies, such as Ibiquity's IBOC digital radio system, which are rarely used elsewhere in Canada.

Gladwyne, Pennsylvania

Gladwyne is a suburban community in Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States along the historic Philadelphia Main Line. In 2018, Gladwyne was ranked the sixth richest ZIP Code (using 2015 IRS data) in the country in a study by Bloomberg BusinessWeek. The population was 4,096 at the 2020 US census. As Gladwyne is neither an incorporated area nor a census-designated place, all data are for the ZIP Code 19035, with which the community is coterminous.

There are four churches, a synagogue, a library, two schools, the Gladwyne fire company, the Gladwyne Civic Association, the Stony Lane Swim Club, playgrounds, parks, businesses, and retail shops within the confines of Gladwyne. The historic Guard House Inn is also located within Gladwyne. The village is also home to the Philadelphia Country Club on its periphery, Merion Cricket Club, and to The Courts, a private tennis club. Because the town was early to preserve space and has received many donations of land, developers have not subdivided the area into more typical suburban developments, so the area retains a mixture of farm, colonial town, and late 19th/early 20th housing uncharacteristic of other Main Line communities.

Banker James Crosby Brown of Brown Brothers & Co. built a 185 acre estate that later was divided into non-divisible (deed-restricted) lots of three to 17 acre, an early act of (partial) preservation that set an important precedent for future acts by both individuals and the township. The Lower Merion Conservancy plays a significant role in protecting the local heritage and maintains its office in Gladwyne's Rolling Hill Park.

History
Like the rest of the region, Gladwyne, known until 1891 as "Merion Square", originally was settled by Welsh Quakers beginning in 1682. It was given its new name to lessen confusion with the many "Merions" in the area, including the town of Merion, Lower Merion Township, and Upper Merion Township, and in imitation of the Welsh names of adjoining towns, although its new name was meaningless in Welsh. Twenty-four mills operated along Mill Creek through the beginning of the twentieth century, and the major road through residential Gladwyne runs along the banks of the creek. After the American Civil War and following construction of the Pennsylvania Railroad's Main Line west from Center City, wealthy Philadelphians located many of their summer homes there.

The development of the Schuylkill Expressway (I-76) in the 1960s and the subsequent development of King of Prussia as a major business center increased Gladwyne's appeal, as it was the Main Line town situated closest to the Expressway and midway between King of Prussia and Center City Philadelphia. The Gladwyne Elementary School was built in 1958 to accommodate the children of these new residents and the Gladwyne Free Library (part of the Lower Merion Library System) was renovated and expanded as well. Yet the core of the village, built originally at the convergence of Youngsford and Righter's Mill Roads during the latter part of the eighteenth century, remained essentially the same, allowing Gladwyne to retain all of its original historic character and at the same time enjoy the conveniences of modern suburban living, such as a centrally located supermarket with ample parking, pharmacy, tavern, and restaurants.

The Gladwyne Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the community has a total area of 4.9 square miles (12.8 km2), all land. It is primarily rolling hills in topography.

Demographics
As of the census of 2000, there were 4,050 people, 1,476 households, and 1,057 families residing in the community. The population density was 820.0 PD/sqmi.

The racial makeup of the village was 97.22% Caucasian, 2.34% Asian, 0.77% African American, 0.32% from other races, and 0.69% from two or more races. 1.09% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

There were 1,476 households, out of which 32.2% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 67.3% were married couples living together, 4.9% had a female householder with no husband present, and 26.4% were non-families. 22.8% of all households were made up of individuals, and 16.9% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.53 and the average family size was 3.98.

In the community, the population was spread out, with 22.8% under the age of 18, 2.0% from 18 to 24, 18.9% from 25 to 44, 28.1% from 45 to 64, and 28.2% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 48.8 years. For every 100 females, there were 84.1 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 80.6 males.

The median income for a household in the community was $250,001, and the median income for a family was $407,517. Males had a median income of $100,000+ versus $51,103 for females.

DuBois Regional Airport

DuBois Regional Airport, formerly DuBois–Jefferson County Airport, is in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, eight miles northwest of DuBois, a city in Clearfield County. The airport is in Washington Township. It is owned and operated by the Clearfield-Jefferson Counties Regional Airport Authority, based at the airport. It has scheduled service on one airline, Southern Airways Express, subsidized by the Essential Air Service program.

The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2021–2025 categorized it as a non-primary commercial service airport. DuBois Regional is a refueling stop for many aircraft due to its proximity to Interstate 80 and several air routes, as well as its on-field restaurant.

History
In the early 1950s the City of DuBois created a Municipal Airport Authority which looked into expanding DuBois City Airport, in the Oklahoma section east of the city. They determined that site was unsuitable for expansion and joined with Jefferson County to procure the present site, 6 mi northwest of DuBois. The first flight was made on June 1, 1960 by Allegheny Airlines (Allegheny Commuter replaced Allegheny in 1969). The runway was 4700 feet; in the 1960s and 1970s radio navigational aids were added, including a non-directional beacon, and finally an Instrument Landing System (ILS) for runway 25.

Brockway Glass Corporation, headquartered in nearby Brockway, built a hangar for their aircraft (and later a commuter airline service), and Fixed-Base Operator Beechwoods Flying Service built general aviation "T hangars", fuel pumps and maintenance hangars. The FAA opened a Flight Service Station in 1963 to provide weather and advisory service to pilots; the area is noted for rapidly changing and severe weather. In the 1970s the FAA built a regional radio navigational maintenance facility on the field.

In 1988 Brockway Glass was taken over by Owens-Illinois and its assets were liquidated, including the Crown Airways commuter airline. The Flight Service Station closed in 1990 during FSS consolidation, and its functions were assumed by the Altoona FSS.

Since 1991 the airport complex has continued to expand and renovate facilities. It was designated a Foreign Trade Zone in 2001. A better access road, part of Pennsylvania Route 830, was completed in 2007.

Facilities
The airport covers 399 acres (161 ha) at an elevation of 1,817 feet (554 m) above sea level. Its single runway, 7/25, is 5,503 by 100 feet (1,677 x 30 m).

In the year ending April 19, 2021, the airport had 6,539 aircraft operations, an average of 18 per day: 67% air taxi, 32% general aviation and less than 1% military. In April 2022, there were 10 aircraft based at this airport: 9 single-engine and 1 multi-engine.

Talk:James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire

Untitled
The box art is shown for the PS2 when it is also available for the xbox, please replace it with a transparent logo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zachary8222 (talk • contribs) 00:25, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Weapons
Weapons list amended to include the actual weapons, on which the weapons in the game are based. The AUF developers were fairly clever in naming the firearms and the ficticious names of the manufacturing companies, and this is a way to recognise this.

Move to 007: Agent Under Fire
I would like to suggest a move to 007: Agent Under Fire as that seems to be the official title. We can also drop the (video game) bit as there's no article at that link. Suggestions or opinions?--analoguedragon 20:09, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Likewise with Nightfire, I'm pretty sure the actual title is "James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire", although I've also see "James Bond 007 in... Agent Under Fire''". K1Bond007 21:07, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * On the spine of the PS2 box it says "James Bond 007 in... Agent Under Fire".--Codenamecuckoo 08:10, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

(video game) please droop it it is just to ugly to see it after the game name. The Tramp

Spoiler
I'm going to add a spoiler warning. As I did with Nightfire.--Codenamecuckoo 18:36, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

TWINE Remake
I added in the trivia that AUF was originally going to be TWINE for the PS2. Can anyone back me up here apart from this news archive?--Codenamecuckoo 20:36, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
 * This is true, except it would not have been a remake - it would have been substantially different to either the PS1 or N64 versions.
 * Yes, it is true. There is an old issue of Next Generation magazine with TWINE on the cover where they talk about the PS2 version.  The PS2 SKU was being developed internally at EA Redwood Shores, the N64 was developed at Eurocom, and I believe the PS1 was developed by Black Box. Lgascoig 17:43, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Q slick
In response to the addition of the disputed tag. There is a Q-Slick. See. Look under "Bond moves." K1Bond007 22:00, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Speed Records?
Should World Records be included in this article? This website has full charts of all AUF records. Should they be added?

Engine
Wasn't the engine for this game Quake 3? I remember the multiplayer bots climbing stairs backwards (while shooting) from one James Bond game, and thought it incredibly (and saddly) Quake-like. I'm not sure if it's this one, though.

 * Yes it was originally Quake 3, but modified by Ritual Entertainment for the game Heavy Metal FAKK2. It's an early build of that game.  Obviously PS2 and PC (GL) are different platforms so not a lot of the actual Q3 architecture remained intact, mostly the build pipe/high level rendering/lighting and high level rendering runtime.

 * I wrote the bot behaviors for AUF on Gamecube and Xbox and they used zero code from Quake 3. My personal favorite is the Q-Claw behavior.  Lgascoig 17:40, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Unsourced Trivia
No one likes trivial minutiae better than I, but the Trivia section for this article does not cite any of its sources. If sources aren't provided, that gives people carte blanche to delete the entire section. SpinyMcSpleen 06:13, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikify tag still relevant?
I see this article has been flagged for wikification. However, from the [Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikify#Wikification|wikify project guidelines] I do not see anything in the article that warrants this tag? Perhaps I am missing something? 78.105.230.89 (talk) 00:45, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Consider adding a section on PS2 homebrew
It's possible to hack into the PS2 via the first level, and is a large part of why it's still bought nowadays. Herg-derg-editor (talk) 20:30, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Football in Malta

Football in Malta is run by the Malta Football Association and was introduced to Malta during British rule in the mid-19th century. The sport at the time was new to England, and was used as a means of entertainment for the soldiers stationed in Malta at the various barracks around Malta at the time. In 1863 a football association was formed which governed rules and regulations for this quickly changing sport, which was still in amateur competition stage and played in an un-scheduled format until 1909 when a league format was introduced.

The association runs the men's national football team, the women's national team, as well as administering the semi-professional Maltese Premier League, Maltese Women's League and the respective cups for club sides.

History
The first Maltese championship in the 1909-1910 season was won by Floriana. The league regularly changed in numbers as teams changed administrators, dropped out of the league, and new teams re-entered. Up until the season of 1939-1940 this first league remained the only league in Maltese football, and was called the Maltese division one. Sliema Wanderers and Floriana dominated, winning all but four championships up to 1940. The Maltese football league trophy was implemented in the 1935 season which Sliema Wanderers and Floriana continued to dominate up to the Second World War between them.

Unfortunately due to the Second World War, the league had to break-off since many Maltese players were drafted in to the defence of the island during the early 1940s when the Maltese archipelago were heavily involved in the North Africa conflict due to its strategic position in the Mediterranean Sea.

Normal league activity resumed in the 1945, after the end of the war with the league format of four teams joining including Sliema Wanderers and Floriana. The Maltese football association league format soon changed however, to a multiple tier format as from the 1946 season. The passing of the North Africa conflict saw the Maltese football associations largest interest with fifteen clubs registering to join the Maltese FA in the 1940s, doubling the size of the number of registered clubs within ten years. Many of today's familiar names joined the league including Valletta and Hibernians.

Interest in the Maltese league continued throughout the 1950s, 1960's and 1970s with fifteen more clubs joining the league including Birkirkara FC in 1950. It was however Hibernians and Valletta who put together a good challenge to Sliema Wanderers and Floriana, winning eight championships between them, and three league trophies.

The 1980s saw the monopolization of Sliema Wanderers and Floriana finally come to an end with four clubs taking most of the honours in this decade. The inauguration of the new national stadium, Ta' Qali could have been a reason for this, with a large re-structuring of the Maltese league program to coincide with Maltese football's new impressive home. Hibernians F.C. went on to win the Maltese league championship in 1981 and 1982, Rabat Ajax (formed 1930) won in 1985, and 1986, however the real surprise came from one of Malta's oldest clubs, Ħamrun Spartans who won the league three times in 1983, 1987 and 1988, and won a five league trophies. Floriana did win the league trophy in 1981, but were relegated to Malta's second league in the 1985 season.

The last decades of the century saw the league format expand to its fourth tier, now with fifty clubs registered in the league. A diverse range of clubs now sharing the trophies in the Maltese league's top tier to contribute to an entertaining and high quality semi-professional football league. Valletta enjoyed a golden age in the 1990s winning five championships and four league cups. A re-juvenated Floriana won the championship in 1993, as well as two league cups, and Sliema Wanderers, Ħamrun Spartans and Hibernians also picked up notable honours. 1995 also saw the start of the Maltese Women's League, intiially at only 5-a-side, though rapidly expanding to full 11-a-side in the start of the millennium. A second division was also briefly active, though the small number of teams involved meant that it was not maintained. It would return for several seasons across 2008-17, however. Hibernians F.C. were the main force in the early days of the league, winnign 8 titles in a row from 1998 onwards.

At present there are a number of clubs with the resources and capability of winning the men's championship trophy, which is now called the Maltese Premier League trophy. Birkirkara FC are the notable new force in the Maltese league, after winning their first championship in the year 2000, and the team from Malta's largest town has regularly picked up honours since propelling itself into the history books. Other teams to have made relative impact were Żurrieq in the 1980s and Valletta in the late 1990s. Birkirkara FC have also made a name for themselves in the women's league, winning a number of titles and wresting dominance from Hibernians F.C. However, by the 2019/20 season, Hibernians F.C. were spent and quickly fell out of the title races, leaving Birkirkara FC unbeaten champions across the next 4 seasons!

Early league format
The first Malta Football Association Premier League (1st Division) 1909-1910:

The fourth season of the women's league, 1998-1999:

Current system
Currently the Maltese men's national and official system consists of 53 teams within 3 tiers. These are the Maltese Premier League, the Maltese Challenge League, and the Maltese National Amateur League. The FA Trophy is a knockout competition for all clubs taking part in league competitions in Malta and Gozo; the winners play the Premier League champions in the Maltese Super Cup.

A similar structure follows for the women's temas, albeit smaller in scale. The Maltese Women's League is the only league currently in place, with a similar knockout tournament coming with the Maltese Women's Cup.

Other competitions
Other football competitions run in Malta include:

 * the Youth League - Commonly known as the Minors' League
 * the Youth Leagues (not to be confused with the previous one) - organised by the Youth FA for boys aged up to 17 (an U20 women's league was trialled unsuccessfully)

Viewership and attendances
In the latest decades, particularly the 1990s the Maltese leagues have not had high attendances except for particular derby matches or league deciders. This has often been attributed to various reasons, including the higher quality of foreign leagues (especially the Italian Serie A and the English Premier League), slow-paced football, low interest, relatively unknown players, lack of professionalism and perceived corruption. This has improved since the promotion of Qormi to the top tier, a team which has had a strong following ever since getting promoted. A phenomenon also occurred in the lowest tier, where Zejtun Corinthians and Naxxar Lions, two sides from relatively large localities, started to push for promotion from the Maltese Third Division during season 2009-10. This ended up in a rivalry between the two teams who boasted stronger squads when compared to the other Third Division teams, thus attracting larger crowds than usual. However attendances remain relatively low in numbers. It is important to note that very few statistics are available.

English and Italian rivalries
Most Maltese people prefer to watch English and Italian leagues. This traces its beginning to the nation's political past, where in the 1930s a hot political issue was the Language Question, i.e. whether Malta had to adopt either Italian or English as an official language. This created pro-British and pro-Italian factions within the Maltese, virtually splitting the population in two. This rivalry now remains subtly in the nation's main political parties, but also in football, where as said before Maltese prefer foreign leagues to the Maltese one. During World Cups Maltese generally side with either the English or the Italians. Popular foreign clubs are mainly Manchester United, Liverpool, Juventus, Milan and Inter. Popular national teams apart from their own are mainly England and Italy, with Brazil in the third place, followed by Germany and the Netherlands to a lesser extent. These foreign fandoms generally divert attention from Maltese football to the detriment of the Maltese leagues and the Malta national football team.

 * This is certainly not an ad. However, in England the product is known as Ovaltine (see http://zeus.ia.net/~gheller/ovalgon/ovaltine.htm for an explanation and also the song "Who Put the Benzedrine in Mrs Murphy's Ovaltine?"), so it might be a good idea to have a redirect to or from Ovaltine. --KF 13:27, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Ovaltine
Can anyone check whether this product is available in the US, too? It is known as Ovaltine in the UK, so maybe it should be moved.... -- Kokiri 17:10, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Oh, maybe... can somebody find out where this product is available in general (and then add it to the article)? -- Kokiri 17:12, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I think the article should mention the movie "A Christmans Story" which (re)popularized Ovaltine in the US.

O(vom)altine
I moved this from Ovomaltine. I think this is justified because it is known as Ovaltine in the UK, US, and Australia. It is the brand used in English-speaking countries as well as Asia. Dforest 8 July 2005 04:12 (UTC)

 * Well, I think in the future this article will be moved back and forth at regular intervals. Lots of arguments can be found for either name. This is just like Crusade, Crusades, The Crusades etc. etc. Personally, I believe that as long as there is no need for disambiguation, the content is much more important. If you can't find an article at once, that's what redirects are for.  17:39, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

The editors of this page are seeking more input and efforts into this article before it's submitted to FAC. De ryc k C.  07:35, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Some of the section headings need to be translated into better English (e.g. Way to Northern Expedition and Death); they should also use lower case initial letters after the first word. The hotel explanation for his Japanese name is intriguing, but isn't a connection with his birthplace more likely? Mark1 07:53, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Mark, you may have inverted the logical pattern. Sun's birthplace's current name Zhongshan was named AFTER Sun, therefore it's impossible to say that his Japanese name came from his birthplace. De ryc  k C.  11:58, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Geographically, it has a trapezoidal shape, bordered by Olteniței Road to the north and Turnu Măgurele Street to the south. Built during the 1960s, it is a typical Communist-era working class district, lacking any major green spaces or cultural attractions. It has a population of roughly 110,000.

Etymology
It is believed that the name comes from the hussars of Miklós Bercsényi, who were first mentioned after the suppression of the Hungarian Kuruc War led by Francis II Rákóczi (at beginning of the 18th century). They settled in the neighborhood of Bucharest. Another theory claims that the name comes from an archaic Romanian word for tax collector.

History
Before the 1960s, Berceni was situated outside of Bucharest, in a very sparsely populated area where only a few rural properties were located, with the nearest landmarks being the long-gone Văcărești Monastery, and starting from the latter half of the 19th century, the Bellu Cemetery. In the interwar period, the Alexandru Obregia hospital was opened.

On 5 April 1964, the Scînteia newspaper announced plans for a new housing estate, being built specifically for the workers at the IMGB plant located nearby, which opened in 1963. Construction works began the same year, which brought many Lipovan Russians from the Dobruja region of Romania, who worked with excavating and laying foundations for the buildings. The first dwellers moved in 1965 when the first apartment buildings (4 to 9 storeys high) were completed, although the housing estate had its shortcomings: the local market was not ready on time, so trucks with food supplies would come in the mornings for the residents. On the other hand, the Lipovans found multiple graves on the construction site of a school.

The construction of the 4-storey apartment blocks was done much faster due to the type of the buildings using prefabricated panels, in one of the first large-scale uses of prefabs in apartment blocks. The 9-storey apartment blocks used the more traditional construction methods. 5,500 apartments were planned to be built in the first stage: the goal was achieved in 1968, but construction works were completed by around 1976. The buildings closer to Piața Sudului were also built at the same time.

The western half of Berceni (located closer to the Giurgiului housing estate) began to be constructed starting from 1971 using more austere 4-storey and 10-storey apartment blocks, being exclusively built with prefabricated panels, the construction of which was completed by 1981. The second stage had fewer green spaces and more buildings that were built closer to each other. A group of small houses was left undemolished, and it still exists today, because, according to the institute that planned this housing estate, it gave the area "a special characteristic".

Berceni also benefitted from a large shopping center (BIG Berceni) which opened in February 1975, various schools and multiple trolleybus routes that opened in the late 1960s. The M2 line of the Bucharest Metro began operating in the vicinity of the neighborhood starting from 24 January 1986, serving the Piața Sudului and Apărătorii Patriei areas, along with the IMGB industrial area; however this led to the trolleybus network of Berceni being isolated from the rest of the trolleybus network of Bucharest in 1987, in an attempt to re-engineer the ground transportation in the city by building district-based networks.

In the last stage, multiple apartment blocks were built nearby from 1982 to 1990 in various areas of the housing estate, especially on the Olteniței Avenue and Constantin Brâncoveanu Avenue. In the 1980s it was the largest working class housing estate in Southern Bucharest, being one of the main four large scale housing estates built in the 1960s.

After the Romanian Revolution of 1989, the housing estate became infamous for its high crime rates, although this issue has been less common in the last decade. Starting from 2016, a program was launched to rebuild the roads and renovate multiple apartment buildings.

Other
There is also a village of Berceni, which is situated to the south and is outside Bucharest city limits.

Xu Pingjun

Xu Pingjun (89? BC – 1 March 71 BC ), formally Empress Gong'ai (恭哀皇后; literally, the Respectful and Lamentable Empress) and sometimes (but not at all times) Empress Xiaoxuan (孝宣皇后), was an empress of the Chinese Western Han dynasty. She was the first wife of Emperor Xuan. She was murdered by poisoning by Huo Guang's wife Xian (顯). She was also the mother of Emperor Yuan.

Family background
Xu Pingjun was born into a family that had some minor privileges but had also suffered under the reign of Emperor Wu. It is not known exactly when she was born, but probably circa 89 BC. Her father Xu Guanghan (許廣漢) was an assistant to the Prince of Changyi when young, and later became an imperial attendant. Later, while accompanying Emperor Wu on a trip, he accidentally took the saddle of another attendant and was charged with theft; his sentence was castration. After castration, he became a eunuch at court, and served as a minor official.

Marriage to then-commoner Liu Bingyi
Xu Pingjun's future husband Liu Bingyi was the only surviving descendant of Liu Ju, Emperor Wu's crown prince who was forced into a failed rebellion in 91 BC when he was still an infant. He was spared, but was made a commoner and, as an orphan, he had to survive on the largess of others, including his grandfather's old subordinate Zhang He (張賀), who was also castrated by Emperor Wu as punishment for having been Crown Prince Ju's subordinate, and who became a chief eunuch.

Around 76 BC, Zhang wanted to marry his granddaughter to Bingyi, but his brother Zhang Anshi (張安世), then an important official, opposed this, fearing that it would bring trouble. Zhang, instead, invited Xu Guanghan, a subordinate to him, to dinner and persuaded him to marry his daughter, Pingjun. When Xu's wife heard this, she became extremely angry and refused, but because Zhang was Xu's superior, Xu did not dare to renege on the promise, and Bingyi and Pingjun were married, in a ceremony entirely paid by Zhang (because Bingyi could not afford to). Zhang also paid the bride price. After their marriage, Bingyi depended on his wife's family for support. In 75 BC, Pingjun bore him a son, Liu Shi.

As empress
In 75 BC, an unexpected development occurred. After the death of Bingyi's granduncle, Emperor Zhao, the regent Huo Guang, having been dissatisfied with his initial selection of Prince He of Changyi as the new Emperor, deposed Prince He and offered the throne to the commoner Bingyi instead. Bingyi accepted and took the throne as Emperor Xuan.

After her husband became emperor, Pingjun was initially created an imperial consort. When it came time to create an empress, the officials largely wanted Emperor Xuan to marry Huo Guang's daughter Huo Chengjun and create her empress. Emperor Xuan did not explicitly reject this proposal, but issued an order to seek out the sword that he owned as a commoner. Getting the hint, the officials recommended Consort Xu as empress, and she was created as such on 31 December 74 BC. He initially wanted to create his father-in-law Xu Guanghan a marquess, but Huo opposed this, reasoning a eunuch who had suffered castration as a punishment should not be made a marquess. Instead, Xu was given the title of Lord of Changcheng (昌成君).

As empress, Empress Xu was known for her humility and thriftiness. She was also known for devotion to Grand Empress Dowager Shangguan, often meeting her for meals.

Death
Huo Guang's wife, Lady Xian, would not be denied her wish of making her daughter an empress. In 71 BC, Empress Xu was pregnant when Lady Xian came up with a plot. She bribed Empress Xu's female physician Chunyu Yan (淳于衍), under guise of giving Empress Xu medicine after she gave birth, to poison her. Chunyu did so (with aconitum), and Empress Xu died shortly after she gave birth. Her doctors were initially arrested to investigate whether they cared for the empress properly. Lady Xian, alarmed, informed Huo Guang what had actually happened, and Huo, not having the heart to turn in his wife, instead signed Chunyu's release. (It is not known what happened to Empress Xu's newborn child, but since Chinese historical sources at that time did not pay much attention to children who die young, presumably the child died early.)

Empress Xu was buried with full imperial honours near, but not with, her husband, whose third wife Empress Wang was later buried with him. Her son Prince Shi would later become crown prince and later Emperor Yuan after surviving attempts on his life by Empress Xu's successor, Empress Huo. The Huo clan would be destroyed in 66 BC.
