A French translation ???
Hello everybody! Are you sure there was a French translation of the show? I searched a bit on the Internet, and couldn't find anything related to a French "Aïda"... What are your sources? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.21.76.66 (talk) 00:27, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Casting
In looking over the list of featured actors and actresses, I was struck by how many Caucasian or European-American actors had played parts in the production. Has there never been any controversy over this fact? Given the issues that have attached to previous productions of Miss Saigon, West Side Story, Flower Drum Song, The King and I, etc., it would be surprising to me to learn there had been no notable complaints about roles of African characters (both sub-Saharan and otherwise) being portrayed by people whose heritage is entirely outside that region. If not, fine, but if so, we should include a paragraph about this aspect. Lawikitejana (talk) 13:41, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Changhe Z-10

The Changhe Z-10 (直-10, "helicopter-10") is a Chinese (developed together with Russian Kamov bureau) medium attack helicopter developed for the People's Liberation Army Ground Force. It is designed primarily for anti-tank warfare missions but has secondary air-to-air combat capability as well.

Initiated by chief designer Wu Ximing, the project had early Russian involvement with Kamov Design Bureau of Russia under a contract with the Chinese government, but the collaboration was abruptly stopped due to fundamental design philosophy disagreements. The Chinese designers and their customer, the PLA General Armaments Department, preferred a lighter-weight, more agile airframe with less emphasis on armor. The helicopter was further developed by Changhe Aircraft Industries Corporation (CAIC) and is locally manufactured.

Nicknames of characters in the Chinese classic novel Water Margin have been used to name Z-10 and its light-weight counterpart, the Harbin Z-19: Z-10 is called Fierce Thunderbolt (Pi Li Huo, 霹雳火), the nickname of Qin Ming, while Z-19 is called Black Whirlwind (Hei Xuan Feng, 黑旋风), the nickname of Li Kui.

In September 2016, the PLA announced that all of its army aviation units had been equipped with the Z-10.

Early exploration
In 1979, the Chinese military studied the problem of countering large armour formations. It concluded that the best conventional solution was to use attack helicopters. Eight Aérospatiale Gazelle armed with Euromissile HOT were procured for evaluation.

By the mid-1980s, the Chinese decided a dedicated attack helicopter was required. At the time, they used civilian helicopters converted for the military; these were no longer adequate in the attack role, and suitable only as scouts. Following this, China evaluated the Agusta A129 Mangusta, and in 1988 secured an agreement with the United States to purchase AH-1 Cobras and a license to produce BGM-71 TOW missiles; the latter was cancelled following the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre and the resulting arms embargo. The colour revolutions prevented the purchase of attack helicopters from Eastern Europe in 1990 and 1991; Bulgaria and Russia rejected Chinese offers to purchase the Mil Mi-24.

While attempting to import foreign designs failed, war games determined that attack helicopters had to be commanded by the army, rather than the air force. This led to the formation of the People's Liberation Army Ground Force Air Force (PLAGFAF), with an initial strength of 9 Harbin Z-9. The PLAGFAF conducted tactical experiments that would help define the future Z-10's requirements. Research also decided that anti-tank missiles like the BGM-71 TOW were inadequate, and favoured an analogue to the AGM-114 Hellfire. These findings ensured the Z-10 would be based around the new missile.

Medium helicopter program
The Gulf War highlighted the urgent need for attack helicopters, and revalidated the assessment that a purpose-built design was needed. At the time, the Chinese military depended on armed utility helicopters such as the Changhe Z-11 and Harbin Z-9. Also, it demonstrated that the new attack helicopter would need to be able to defend itself against other helicopters and aircraft. The military perceived that once the new attack helicopter entered service, the existing helicopters would be used as scouts.

The Attack Helicopter Developmental Work Team (武装直升机开发工作小组) was formed to develop a new medium helicopter design, as opposed to basing the new design on the light helicopters then in service. The 602nd and 608th Research Institutes started development of the 6-ton class China Medium Helicopter (CHM) program in 1994. A secret contract was signed with the Kamov Design Bureau of Russia to design and verify the helicopter airframe and propulsion.

The program was promoted as a civilian project, and was able to secure significant Western technical assistance, such as from Eurocopter (rotor installation design consultancy), Pratt & Whitney Canada (PT6C turboshaft engine), and Agusta Westland (transmission). The Chinese concentrated on areas where it could not obtain foreign help.

Attack helicopter program
Pratt & Whitney, alongside Hamilton Sundstrand divisions of the United Technologies Corporation, unlawfully transported and provided US military technology into this program. In an effort to maintain profits, they conspired to cover up these facts. They were found guilty of these charges in June 2012. Several of the charges were deferred adjudications.

In 1998, the 602nd Research Institute proposed to either separate the armed helicopter program from the medium helicopter program, or devote all resources to the armed helicopter program. The 602nd Research Institute called its proposed armed helicopter design the Z-10. As a result, most of the resources went to the Z-10, although the medium helicopter program continued with reduced priority; the medium helicopter could continue to develop technology used by both military and civilian aircraft.

The Z-10 program was called the Special Armed Project (专武工程), a short form for Special Use Armed Helicopter Project (专用武装直升机工程). Development was kept under stricter secrecy than the Chengdu J-10 fighter. Nearly ¥ 4 billion was initially invested and the Z-10 became one of the most important programs begun in the 9th 5-yr plan.

Publicly, the 602nd Research Institute was assigned as the chief designer to promote the illusion of it being a domestically developed attack helicopter, while Harbin Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation (HAMC) of China Aviation Industry Corporation II (AVIC II) was assigned as the primary manufacturer. Nearly four dozen other establishments participated in the program. In the summer of 1999, AVIC II began to use a CAMC Z-8 to test newly developed Z-10 sub-systems. In autumn of the same year, a Harbin Z-9 was added to the test aircraft inventory. These tests concentrated on sub-systems such as the fire-control systems, HOTAS controls, and navigation systems.

South African arms manufacturer Denel provided technical assistance to the project in the area of flight stability, based on experience from designing the Denel Rooivalk. The Chinese government intended to purchase a single Rooivalk for study purposes to further aid the Z-10's development, but this did not come to fruition.

New manufacturer
In 2000, the Chinese again attempted to obtain a Russian attack helicopter, but the deal for the Kamov Ka-50 fell apart just as the Mil Mi-28 deal several years earlier. The repeated failures in obtaining foreign attack helicopters reinforced feelings that China had no choice but to ignore foreign options and develop its own such aircraft, and work on the Z-10 accelerated. In the same year, HAMC transferred most of its production responsibilities to CAIC of AVIC II.

The official reason given was excessive workload; HAMC was busy producing the HC120 and Harbin Z-9, as well as other fixed-wing aircraft such as the Harbin Y-12, and thus was stretched to the limit. However, many speculated that HAMC was not performing well enough due to rigid and ineffective Soviet-style management practices, believed to have caused the company to go into debt.

Although HAMC was in the process of reform, which finally succeeded, the government and military were weary and impatient. The SH-5 factory had become very profitable after its successful restructuring and reform, but it had to get out of the aircraft manufacturing business for good, manufacturing pressurized tanks and other specialized containers. It was decided that the Z-10 program was too important to be run by HAMC, so a more stable contractor was sought and CAIC was selected. HAMC still retained responsibility for production of certain sub-systems and components, for which it could utilize experience gained from manufacturing parts for foreign helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft such as the Embraer ERJ 145 family.

In May 2002, the Z-10 tail rotor and some other components were tested on the ground by the 602nd Research Institute. In April 2003, a Z-10 prototype completed its maiden flight at Lumeng (吕蒙) airfield, the airfield having been assigned to CAIC for such use. According to Chinese sources, the initial test flights were concluded on December 17, 2003, whereas according to other sources they were completed nine months earlier, in March 2003. According to Jane's Information Group, a total of 3 prototypes had completed over 400 hours of test flights by this time.

By 2004, 3 more prototypes were built, for a total of 6, and a second stage of test flights were concluded on December 15, 2004. In one of the test flights, the future commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army Ground Force Air Force (PLAGAF), Song Xiangsheng (宋湘生), was on board the prototype. A third stage of intensive test flights followed, taking place during both day and night. By January 2006, weaponry and sensor tests, including firing of live ammunition, were taking place.

Prototypes and a small number of pre-production aircraft are in service with the Chinese military for evaluation. The design is undergoing continuous minor modifications and upgrades based on the feedback.

Amphibious role
In March 2014, the PLA released pictures of a Z-10 helicopter conducting deck trials with a People's Liberation Army Navy Type 072A-class landing ship. The purpose may be to qualify the helicopter on ships to provide air support for landing parties launched from the ship. Type 072A-class ships have a helipad but no hangar or support facilities for the aircraft on board. The Z-10 may also be qualified on the larger Type 071 amphibious transport dock.

Design

The Kamov design bureau was contracted to perform the development work under a secret contract. Kamov worked with the Chinese to establish base specifications, such as weight, speed, and payload capacity, after which they had full freedom to design the helicopter. Kamov designed, tested, and verified an early stage of helicopter design, after which it was provided to the Chinese team and was substantially modified. Although the earliest stage of the design was made in Russia, the prototype construction, flight testing, and further development was performed by the Chinese.

Flight instrumentation
There are two configurations of the flight instrumentation for Z-10, one developed from a similar foreign system (rumored to be French), and the other one indigenously-developed, and both configurations share the same holographic heads-up display. The difference in layout between the two configurations is that in one configuration, there are three color LCD multi-function displays (MFD), while in the other, these are replaced by two larger LCD MFDs. It's not clear which one originated from the foreign system and which is indigenously developed, but it's reported that the practice of having different configurations, thanks to the modular design, is for export purposes, to fit the potential customer countries’ pilots’ habits. However, in early 2018, it was revealed that the 2-piece MFD version was the one selected to enter service.

Electro-optics
One of the two primary fire control systems (FCS) is the electro-optical (optronics) system, which utilizes experience gained from earlier manufacturing of similar French and Israeli systems, combining the best of the two, but only hardware wise. The software is completely indigenously developed by China. The optronics FCS is manufactured by the 218th Factory of China North Industries Group Corp, later reformed as China North Industries Group Corporation Electro-Opticals Science & Technology Ltd. (中兵光电科技股份有限公司.)

Helmet-mounted targeting and night vision
In addition to the millimeter wave fire control radar and optronic FCS, the pilot of the Z-10 has another FCS, the helmet mounted sight (HMS) designed by the 613th Research Institute. The HMS is standard for the Z-10. The HMS is based on the earlier HMS used on the Z-9W, which was first shown at the 5th Zhuhai Airshow held in 2004. At the 7th Zhuhai Airshow held in 2008, the developer confirmed that the HMS is fully integrated into the FCS and the onboard navigational systems.

Navigational information can be displayed on the MFD, pilots can also fly the Z-10 in a 'hands-on' manner, including at night using HMS-compatible night vision goggles (NVG) similar to the French TopOwl HMS used on the Eurocopter Tiger. The Chinese HMS can control both air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, other unguided weapons, as well as providing navigational info.

Additionally, helmet mounted displays (HMDs) were developed for the Z-10, similar to the Honeywell M142 Integrated Helmet and Display Sighting System (IHADSS) used on the AH-64 Apache. The developer confirmed that the HMD is not standard as it is incompatible with the NVGs, the two cannot be simultaneously equipped. It is unclear whether the NVG is standard; however, the developer has claimed that the helmet and HMS are fully compatible with NVGs. Images released by official government sources have shown that the Z-10 uses binocular-form NVGs (as well as other helicopters in Chinese service).

In late 2018, the 2nd generation Chinese HMS designed for the Z-10 had been revealed, where a large single eye piece had replaced the two-piece binocular ones in the 1st generation HMS.

Cockpit
The stepped tandem cockpit houses two aviators – the gunner in the back and the pilot in the front – different from the conventional layout of most attack helicopters, confirmed by Chinese official news agency's video report.

The canopy of the cockpit is specially treated to prevent glare from the sun, and, as an additional option, a tanned version is also available for camouflage purposes, though this is not standard. The bullet-proof glass of the canopy may be as thick as 38 millimeters, and is able to withstand direct hits from shrapnel and rounds fired from machine guns up to .50 caliber size. Additional armor plates can be fitted for improved protection.

Powerplant and auxiliary power unit
The operation engine for the Z-10 is the domestic WZ-9, designed by the 602nd Research Institute. The previous claim of WZ-9 being a Chinese version of the MTR MTR390 proved to be false, because according to the publicized official Chinese governmental technical documents, VK-2500, TV3-117, and PT6 are all classified as third generation turboshaft engines, a category WZ-9 belongs to, while the MTR390 is classified as a fourth generation turboshaft engine.

The WZ-9 is the second least powerful engine out of the five tested for the Z-10, but enjoys the advantage of having no foreign-built components. Furthermore, since it is 100% built in China, there are no political issues that would affect the purchase of vital parts. The WZ-9 is in full production to power the Z-10.

Specifications for the WZ-9 turboshaft engine that is installed in Z-10 for mass production :
 * Power: 930 - 957 kW
 * Fuel consumption: 0.311 kg/(kW·h)
 * Pressure ratio: > 8
 * Inlet temperature: 1355 degrees Celsius
 * Power-to-weight ratio: 5.4

The WZ-9 has been updated with a new variant, the WZ-9G, with a higher thrust of 1200 kW.

Weaponry
Due to its modular design concept, the Z-10 can be armed with a wide variety of weaponry. The adaptation of the Chinese GJV289A standard, the Chinese equivalent of the MIL-STD-1553B databus architecture, enables weaponry of both Soviet and Western origin to be adopted by the Z-10. Offensive weaponry consists of machine guns, cannons, rockets, and missiles. The stub wings have two hardpoints each for a total of four, each hardpoint being able to carry up to 4 missiles, for a total of up to 16.

Cannon and machine guns
Internal armament consists of a gun mount installed on the chin of the aircraft. Two stub wings provide attachment points for external ordnance or gun pods. The guns are mounted either in the chain gun form, or in the turret. All guns on the Z-10 can be used either against ground targets or aerial targets, and can be directly aimed by pilots’ HMS.

Two types of autocannons are available for the Z-10, with the most common being a 23 mm PX-10A automatic chain gun indigenously developed by China. Another autocannon that can be mounted on the Z-10 is the Chinese reverse-engineered 25 mm M242 Bushmaster adopted for helicopter use. Originally mounted on the NVH-4 derivative of Type 85 AFV, the Chinese military modified the gun for aerial use.

Guided and unguided missiles

The air-to-surface missiles deployed by the Z-10 include the domestic HJ-8 and AKD-10 anti-tank missiles. The AKD-10 is similar in capability to the AGM-114 Hellfire and it has an anti-helicopter capability in addition to an anti-tank capability. The Z-10 can also fire BA-21 long-range anti-tank missiles, which can be fired from 11 miles away, and homing onto target with the data-linked millimeter wave radar.

The main air-to-air missile deployed by the Z-10 is the TY-90, a missile specifically designed for use by helicopters in aerial combat. The TY-90 is much heavier than the MANPAD missiles usually carried by helicopters, providing better lethality and range. The Chinese FN-6 and QW series missiles can also be deployed, as with other non-Chinese MANPADs. TY-90 and MANPADs are often carried in missile racks, with a total of 4 missiles carried per hardpoint.

When using larger air-to-air missiles such as the PL-9 or similar missiles such as AIM-9 Sidewinder, the total number is reduced to 2. The Z-10 fired its first air-to-air missile in mid-August 2013 during a live-fire drill and successfully intercepted low-altitude targets.

The Z-10 can be armed with a wide variety of unguided rockets, ranging from 20 mm to 130 mm caliber. The largest rockets tested were a type of 130 mm rocket that were carried on the hardpoints just as missiles are carried, while smaller caliber rockets were mounted in conventional rocket pods. The most frequently used rockets are those ranging from 57 mm to 90 mm and a total of 4 pods can be carried under the stub wings, one under each hardpoint. A family of guided 90 mm rockets produced by a subsidiary of Norinco, the Harbin Jiancheng Group (哈尔滨建成集团有限公司), was first revealed in the 9th Zhuhai Airshow held in November 2012, designated as Sky Arrow 90 (Tianjian 90 or Tian Jian 90, 90).

Strategic implications
In June 2012, the United States charged United Technologies and two of its subsidiaries, Pratt & Whitney Canada and Hamilton Sundstrand, of selling engine control software to China which aided in the development of the Changhe Z-10. While the Chinese defense ministry denied that China bought or used the software, Pratt & Whitney Canada and Hamilton Sundstrand agreed to pay more than $75 million to the U.S. government to settle the charges.

Orders and exports
The Z-10 was one of the contenders to replace Pakistan's Bell AH-1F Cobra attack helicopters. Three Z-10s were acquired for trials in 2015 and rejected due to the inadequate WZ-9 engine, Pakistan then chose Turkey's AH-1Z; however, contracts to acquire the AH-1Z and then the TAI/AgustaWestland T129 ATAK (which uses the American LHTEC CTS800–4A engine) fell through because of worsening relations with the United States. In January 2022, negotiations to acquire the Z-10ME were underway; the Z-10ME had been identified as a fallback option by February 2020. Pakistan became officially a user of WZ-10 in 2022.

Variants

 * Z-10 Prototype: Prototype for basic tests. Not all had the same layout in that some had a fenestron configuration while others had a traditional tail rotor configuration; some had a chin gun turret while others had a chain gun; some had nose-mounted electro-optical systems while others had mast-mounted electro-optical systems.
 * Z-10H: Pre-production series powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6C-76 turboshaft engine.
 * Z-10: Equipped with the domestic Chinese WZ-9 engine, the Standard Z-10 initially launched without external armor panels due to the limitations of the engine. This model established the baseline for the Z-10 series' capabilities.
 * Z-10 Upgraded Variant: In 2018, older batches began to be upgraded alongside newly manufactured models with more powerful WZ-9C engines, facilitating key upgrades: new data-link enabled missiles, ceramic/graphene armor (on the engine covering and below the cockpit windows), MAWS, IRCM, and upward-facing exhaust nozzles (to lower infrared visibility). It also introduces an advanced IFF system and an enhanced BeiDou navigation system antenna, streamlining its operational capabilities.

Talk:USS Doran (DD-634)

On 9 October 1945,the USS DORAN operating as a mine sweeper rescued 15 Army Air Corp men who ditched their C47 and were able to put out 3 life rafts and make their way to the Doran and use the rope ladder to come aboard.This was made even more difficult by Typhoon Louise which was at its peak. The above information should be inserted in the last paragraph of the article right after "and reached okinawa 7 October". The Doran should have been credited with this rescue.I have no confidence that this will happen.At this point in time it cant be verified.The question is,why this event is not in the Dorans records? How often does any ship save 15 lives? Without the Doran there would not be any survivers in the five man life rafts that would be on their own during a typhoon. Octber 9,2005 will be a 60 year anniversary for me. When the Doran crew members put us ashore the next day,we were met by another flight crew who told us that we were reported missing. Typhoon Louise really wasted Okinawa.There was wreckage throughout.

Good Men, Good Women

Good Men, Good Women is a 1995 Taiwanese film directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, starring Annie Yi, Lim Giong, and Jack Kao. It is the last installment in the trilogy that began with A City of Sadness (1989) and continued with The Puppetmaster (1993). Like its predecessors, it deals with the complicated issues of Taiwanese history and national identity.

Plot
The film depicts the real-life story of Chiang Bi-yu (Annie Yi). In the 1940s, she and her newlywed husband, Chung Hao-tung (Lim Giong), head to mainland China to join the anti-Japanese resistance. During the war, she is forced to give her baby up for adoption. After the war they return to Taiwan, as Chung is to distribute a communist paper called The Enlightenment. However, as the Korean War deepens, Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang government intensifies the White Terror and Chung is executed.

The film consists of three intermingling storylines and scattered throughout the film are interludes of an actress (also played by Yi) who prepares for the role of Chiang Bi-yu, and also confronts her deceased boyfriend's past.

Lloyd Center

Lloyd Center is a shopping mall in the Lloyd District of Portland, Oregon, United States, just northeast of downtown. It is owned by the Urban Renaissance Group and KKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc. The mall features three floors of shopping, with the third level serving mostly as professional office spaces, a food court, and U.S. Education Corporation's Carrington College. Lloyd Center also includes the Lloyd Center Ice Skating Rink, which has become the main draw for the mall. There are currently no anchors in the mall. There are vacant anchor spaces left by Macy's, Marshalls, Nordstrom, and Sears. Junior anchors include Barnes & Noble and Ross Dress for Less.

History
Ideas for Lloyd Center were conceived as early as 1923. The mall was named after southern Californian oil company executive Ralph B. Lloyd (1875–1953) who wished to build an area of self-sufficiency that included stores and residential locations. However, the mall wasn't built until 37 years later, due to major events such as the Great Depression and World War II, as well as Portland's conservative anti-development attitude.

1960–1988
The mall opened August 1, 1960 in a 100-store, open-air configuration. At the time, it was the largest shopping center in the Pacific Northwest and claimed to be the largest in the country. In 1960, Lloyd Center was located very close to the downtown retail core and was the first major retail development to seriously challenge it, aimed almost exclusively at commuters utilizing Portland's then-growing freeway system, especially the adjacent Banfield Expressway.

The original anchor stores were Meier & Frank at the center, Best's and Nordstrom's Shoes anchoring the west end, J. C. Penney and Woolworth anchoring the east, and J. J. Newberry the north. The Newberry store was the national chain's largest at the time of its opening. The Seattle-based Nordstrom's Shoes chain acquired Best's apparel in 1963 and rebranded all locations as Nordstrom Best in 1967. The Nordstrom nameplate was adopted in 1973.

As of 1971, Lloyd Center's five largest stores were, from largest to smallest, Meier & Frank (314,000 square feet), Newberry's (100,000 sq. ft.), Penney's (97,370 sq. ft.), F. W. Woolworth (62,734 sq. ft.) and Nordstom Best (52,891 sq. ft.).

The first significant expansion to the mall since its opening in 1960 was made in fall 1972, adding six stores. The 75,000 ft2 expansion included the addition of a 50,000 ft2 Lipman's store. In 1973, the JCPenney store was remodeled and expanded to 144,000 ft2.

Frederick & Nelson acquired the Lipman's chain in 1979, and the Lloyd Center Lipman's store was renamed Frederick & Nelson. The store subsequently went through a dizzying succession of owners, nameplates and locations within the mall. It appears that, in 1988, Nordstrom moved into the old Lipmans/Frederick and Nelson building. The Lipmans name was apparently reinstated at a new location in the north end of the mall in 1987, only to be replaced by that of Spokane-based The Crescent later in the same year. In March 1988, the store was acquired by Bellevue, Washington-based Lamonts.

1988–2021: renovation and new look, foreclosure
By 1987, the mall was aging and enclosed malls were becoming the norm across the United States. Between 1988 and 1991 the mall was gradually renovated. Nordstrom ended up demolishing the Lipmans store and opening an entirely new location on its space in August 1990. The former Nordstrom spaces had been gutted and refitted as inline stores, followed by a mall-wide renovation around late 1990-early 1991 which fully enclosed the mall and added a food court. The remodeled shopping hub was rededicated in August 1991.

Glimcher Realty Trust bought the center in 1998 for $167 million.

JCPenney closed in June 1998 and was replaced by Sears in November 1999. The Newberry's store, the last in Oregon, closed in 2001, when the entire chain went out of business. Macy's replaced Meier & Frank in 2006.

Glimcher Realty Trust sold 60% of the center to Blackstone Real Estate Partners in 2010 after a deal to sell the entire mall fell through the year before. Lloyd Center was sold by Glimcher to Cypress Equities Real Estate Investment Management in June 2013.

In February 2014, it was announced that Nordstrom would be closing its Lloyd Center store effective January 10, 2015.

An 18-month, $50 million renovation began in March 2015, alongside the closure of the Regal 8 cinema. Entrances to the mall will be made more pedestrian-friendly and the central space will be reconfigured with a spiral staircase. The changes are partially in response to the increasing population of the Lloyd District from newly constructed apartment buildings.

In August 2016, Sears sold its 143,000 ft2 space to the mall's owners, who were reported to be planning a major remodeling of its upper floors, demolishing the fourth floor and expanding the third floor. On January 4, 2018, Sears announced that its Lloyd Center store would be closing in early April 2018 as part of a plan to close 103 stores nationwide.

In January 2019, it was reported that Marshalls would be closing later that month.

On November 17, 2020, Macy's announced it would be closing in January 2021. After the closure of Macy's, no traditional anchor stores remain in the mall.

On January 12, 2021, Old Navy announced that the Lloyd Center store would permanently close by the end of January. After the Old Navy closure, the first floor of the mall from the former Sears and the former Marshalls to the former Payless Shoe Source would be completely empty with vacant storefronts.

On August 6, 2021, a two-alarm fire started in the mall's basement, damaging the mall's electrical system. The mall was closed for over three weeks while repairs were made.

On November 1, 2021, it was reported by local media that KKR Real Estate Finance Trust would be foreclosing on Lloyd Center by the end of the year due to payments on its $110 million debt loan not having been made since October 2020. It was stated that a comprehensive redevelopment of the site was to be considered.

2021-Present: redevelopment
In a press release on December 20, 2021, Seattle-based real estate company Urban Renaissance Group announced themselves as the new owner-operators of Lloyd center and expressed intentions to listen to "existing tenants, neighbors, the broader community and City officials."

The managing director of Urban Renaissance Group, Tim Kilbane, said that while store owners will not be seeing major changes to the mall for two years, they are unable to sign five-year leases due to uncertainty about future plans.

Several small, art-focused local businesses relocated into the mall in 2022, citing lower rent and greater influence over the future of the location.

In September 2023, Urban Renaissance Group announced a plan for the mall that would add 5000 residences into the space while keeping the local landmark ice rink but did not include a cost estimate, nor any announcement of closure for building. A potential method of paying for the plan mentioned was tax increment financing.

The mall continues to host community events in 2024, several of which are various local entertainment events that are smaller and more unique to the area such as Portland's secret roller disco several times in the empty Marshall's, a local theater company hosting productions in what was a Victoria's Secret, and a performance art piece in the dry fountain sculpture Capitalism. Bigger organizations such Live Nation in 2018 and Anschutz Entertainment Group in 2024 have made plans to develop a larger music events space.

Lloyd Center Ice Rink
Opening in 1960, the Lloyd Center Ice Rink was the world's first shopping center rink. The open-air rink was widely popular, drawing more than a million visitors in its first two years, and remains the mall's biggest attraction. The Ice Rink has attracted a few notable guests over the years. Actor Jim Backus, the voice of Mr. Magoo, once did a couple's routine with a bear. Robert F. Kennedy and his wife Ethel, circled Lloyd's ice just a month before his assassination in June, 1968. Former Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding, at age 3, first learned to skate at the Lloyd Center rink.

The Open-air Ice Rink was covered when the mall went from an open-air configuration to an atrium roof design in the 1990s. The rink was reduced in size in 2016 from a standard rectangular rink design to a smaller oval shape. The redesign moved the rink to a more central location, and opened it up to be visible from all levels of the mall. The renovations to the food court are supposed to make watching the skaters easier, which supposedly will keep people inside shopping longer. Despite allowing for more natural light, the renovations were met with controversy by some locals, as the size was less than 4/5ths of what it was and some skaters took issue with the oval shape.

Public transit
Lloyd Center is accessible by TriMet's MAX light rail service, which stops one block south of the mall, at the Lloyd Center/Northeast 11th Avenue station. The area is also served by several bus stops around the mall facility. The Portland Streetcar's A Loop has a stop two blocks west of the Lloyd Center, at NE 7th & Halsey. C-Tran serves Lloyd Center with its commuter express route 157 from 99th Street Transit Center in Vancouver.

Court cases
Lloyd Center has played a role in the history of freedom of speech in the United States, especially with regard to the scope of free speech within private shopping centers. Lloyd Center was the defendant in the landmark cases of Lloyd Corp. v. Tanner,, a decision of the U.S. Supreme Court involving First Amendment rights and private property, and Lloyd Corp. v. Whiffen, 307 Or. 674, 773 P.2d 1293 (1989), a decision of the Oregon Supreme Court.

America This Morning

America This Morning is an American early morning news program, broadcast on ABC on weekday mornings. The newscast is anchored by Andrew Dymburt and Rhiannon Ally, who also serve as anchors of ABC's overnight news program World News Now. One of the two early morning news programs to use a two-anchor format, alongside NBC's Early Today (CBS News Mornings maintains a solo anchor), it usually airs following World News Now. It features national and international news headlines, live reports from Washington, D.C., national weather and airport impact forecasts, a short SportsCenter update from the late night Los Angeles-based anchors of the ESPN show to account for West Coast scores, and a regular business news segment called "America's Money".

The program is broadcast live at 3:30 a.m. Eastern Time Zone following World News Now (airing in the early timeslot to accommodate ABC stations that start their morning local newscasts at 4:00 a.m.). ABC-owned WPVI-TV was one of the first stations to air local news starting at 4:00 a.m. beginning in September 2018. The show is transmitted in a continuous half-hour tape delayed loop until 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, when Good Morning America begins in the Pacific Time Zone (after 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time, any live breaking news requiring network-level coverage is under the purview of GMA with some allowance to start earlier). The program usually airs as a lead-in to local morning newscasts on most ABC stations, although in the few markets where a morning newscast is not produced by the ABC station, it may air in a two- to three-hour loop immediately before the start of GMA.

History
The program originally debuted under the title ABC News This Morning on July 5, 1982. In early 1983, the program was retitled ABC World News This Morning. The program aired live at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time for 60 minutes immediately prior to Good Morning America and was repeated on tape delay for western time zones. It was initially anchored by Steve Bell and Kathleen Sullivan at the network's Washington, D.C. newsroom-studio (as was most ABC News programming at the time). Production of the program was moved to ABC's headquarters in the Lincoln Square, Manhattan district of New York City on July 11, 1988, when Forrest Sawyer and Paula Zahn debuted as co-anchors.

In mid-1992, production of World News This Morning was combined with that of the network's then recently launched overnight news program World News Now, with the same anchor team appearing on both programs. Initially, some elements from World News Now were brought over to World News This Morning including the "Morning Papers" segment and that program's Yanni-composed theme music (played over the original World News This Morning opening graphics) as well as the laid-back attitude.

At some point in 1993, the original Score Productions-composed theme was brought back and most elements from World News Now brought over to World News This Morning were dropped as the program was reformatted to again became more serious in tone. As local stations expanded their morning newscasts, World News This Morning was first shortened into two separate 30-minute newscasts and later to the current, single, 30-minute newscast (which, if an affiliate does not provide a morning news program of its own, can be repeated back-to-back between 4:00 and 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time). From the cable network's launch in 1996 until almost all original programming was discontinued due to cost-cutting measures made by ESPN on June 13, 2013, the program's sports update was provided by the overnight anchors of ESPNews, and later on, the Highlight Express; later that year, production of the sports segments was turned over to the Los Angeles-based production and anchor staff for the overnight editions of ESPN's SportsCenter.

The news program celebrated its 20th anniversary during the summer of 2002. On November 13, 2006, the program's title was changed again to America This Morning; with the rebranding, the orchestral theme from Score Productions that had been used since the program's launch (outside of the short period when it was replaced by World News Now's original theme music) was retired permanently, and replaced with a modernized theme. With the rebranding, the program also began to align itself with the branding and on-air presentation of Good Morning America, although it has otherwise remained under the auspices of the World News Now staff. On September 22, 2009, America This Morning and World News Now began broadcasting in high definition; America This Morning, in effect, became the second early morning network newscast to broadcast in HD, after NBC's Early Today.

On August 30, 2010, ABC moved its live broadcast of the program to 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time Zone (like its competitors Early Today and the CBS Morning News had already done) to accommodate affiliates that choose to start their morning local newscasts at 4:30 a.m. ET. Some ABC stations (Such as WTVC in Chattanooga, Tennessee and WBND-LD in South Bend, Indiana) were forced to pre-empt the program when they implemented it less than two months earlier.

As of September 10, 2018, many of ABC's owned and operated stations have begun their morning newscasts at 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time Zone, initially pre-empting America This Morning in these regions before ATM later began broadcasting live at 3:30 a.m. Eastern Time to accommodate.

Rio, West Virginia

Rio (pronounced RYE-O) is an unincorporated community in southern Hampshire County in the U.S. state of West Virginia. Rio is located just north of the Hardy County line at the crossroads of Augusta-Ford Hill Road (West Virginia Secondary Route 53) and Delray Road (West Virginia Route 29) in the North River Valley. According to the 2000 census, the Rio community has a population of 154.

The community most likely was named for the nearby North River, rio meaning "river" in Spanish.

According to the official Hampshire County history book, Rio was originally going to be named Oxford, but a hamlet in Doddridge County already carried the name. residents were then going to name the village Richardson, but that name didn't stick either. Ultimately, they decided to name the town after an indigenous landmark to the valley, so they named the town Rio, the Spanish word for river, after North River that runs through the center of town. The Spanish word is pronounced "Ree-Oh," but in the town of Rio, locals and others culturally pronounce the town name as "Rye-Oh." (Hampshire County, West Virginia, 1754-2004, published by the Hampshire County 250th Anniversary Committee)

Sitting in North River around Rio is a well-known landmark—The Rio Turtle (also sometimes called Turtle Rock). The rock formation is shaped like a turtle and various residents, over decades, have painted the Rio Turtle to resemble its name, often with a traditional green shell. The Rio Turtle is among the town's most famous natural landmarks.

I have NEVER seen her on Letterman (John Tesh, sure), Today, The View, you name it... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 17.255.252.10 (talk) 05:53, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Birthplace
The reference cited for Ms. Hart's birthplace is given as Madison, SD not Sioux Falls, SD. I find contrary information on the Internet but as the cited source was contrary to what was posted, I changed it to Madison, SD. 97.114.245.34 (talk) 03:50, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Record holder?
This would need a citation, but with her 29 years (so far) as ET host, which will be 30 once she leaves in 2011, does that not make her the longest-serving female host of an entertainment - or, for that matter, news - program? I can't think of anyone with a longer tenure than her, and only a few male hosts (Johnny Carson being one) with a similar track record. Barbara Walters has been around since the 50s, but she's hosted a million different shows, not just the one. 68.146.81.123 (talk) 17:22, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Summernats

Summernats (a portmanteau of "Summer" and "National"), is an annual car festival held in Canberra, Australia since 1987, except 2021. Summernats, which is usually held at the start of the year, is the best known specialist car enthusiast festival in Australia, and an event which attracts many tourists to Canberra, bringing in excess of $20 million in economic benefit to the ACT economy. It has increasingly been promoted as an event for families.

The Summernats spectator attendance record was set in 2017, with 119,184 attendees. Summernats is held over a four-day period, with many events, with prizes in competitions such as for burnouts, parades of cars around the track, fireworks at night and two outdoor concerts held on Friday and Saturday nights. The festival features many vehicles with airbrushed artwork, and restored and modified cars.

History
The first Summernats was held on 31 December 1987.

Promotion and partnerships
Between 1987 and 2009, Summernats' promoter and organiser was Chic Henry. Henry sold Summernats in 2009 to a new company called Summernats Pty Ltd. The naming rights sponsor of Summernats is Street Machine magazine, and the presenting sponsor is Rare Spares.

The ACT Government has expressed its strong support of Summernats, praising the significant benefit it brings to Canberra's economy.

The Summernats spectator attendance record was set in 2017 with 119,184 attendees.

Venue
Summernats is held at Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC), corner of Flemington Road and Federal Highway, Lyneham. In 2022, during Summernats 34, the burnout pad grandstand was officially named in honour of Summernats founder Chic Henry.

2021 COVID-19 impact
Summernats 34, which was due to take place in January 2021, is delayed until January 2022 due to EPIC being used by ACT Health as a COVID-19 testing facility until at least the end of November 2021. A new, reduced capacity, 5,000 maximum versus the usual ~100,000 attendance, "Summernats Rev Rock ‘n’ Roll" festival was planned to run over the 5–7 March 2021 Canberra Day long weekend to tide fans of the car festival over. However on 13 January 2021, this new event was also cancelled.

Controversy
A crash at Summernats 2006 injured a number of people (various sources indicating four, five or six ).

Street cruises were stopped after the 2005 Summernats, following crowd control issues, however thanks to the support of the ACT Government and several years of exemplary crowd and entrant behaviour the City Cruise was re-introduced in 2014. The City Cruise is the first driving event at each Summernats and was limited to 300 entrant vehicles, however this was recently raised to 400. However Summernats spokesman Chic Henry was quoted as saying "The situation could be compared to so many other situations in life where people may have been having a bit too much fun, maybe having a bit too much alcohol."

Sexual harassment of women
In 2008 and 2011 mobs of men allegedly sexually harassed female patrons. In 2017 the promoters adopted a zero tolerance policy to harassment. The festival has experienced frequent complaints and allegations of sexual harassment and other violence towards women by participants, including having a history of women being shouted at to 'take your top off', and men holding placards that read "tits out for the boys".

In 2008, a mob of up to 400 men was observed by journalists surrounding and harassing women, leading Australian Federal Sex Discrimination Commissioner Elizabeth Broderick to comment that such conduct fosters an environment that may lead to rape. Security staff were described as "powerless" to stop the mob, although event organiser Chic Henry stated that he was happy with the performance of security.

In 2011, another mob was alleged to have occurred.

In 2017, Summernats announced its zero-tolerance approach to sexual harassment.

Talk:Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 5th Marquess of Salisbury

Untitled
Having just linked here from the article on Winston Churchill, I wonder if a "Lord Salisbury" link, or disambiguation page, might be useful.

Parliamentary Secretary
The article says he was "Parliamentary Secretary to the Lord Privy Seal" in 1934. Does this mean he was a Parliamentary Under-Secretary, i.e. a junior minister in the Lord Privy Seal's department? Or a Parliamentary Private Secretary, i.e. not a minister at all but an MP acting as assistant to the minister? The latter is normally the first rung on the promotion ladder, and in the 1931-5 Parliament there would of course have been huge numbers of Tory MPs after jobs.Paulturtle (talk) 20:25, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Tooltip glitch: two consecutive commas
I don't know if this an already-known issue, but I see that when, in any other article that links to this one, I hover over that article's wikilink to here, the tooltip that pops up has two consecutive commas.

The article itself shows post-nominal letters after the first comma in question.

I have no objection to the tooltip mechanism automatically excluding post-nominal letters; I understand the need for brevity in tooltips. However, the mechanism is glitching in this case and needs to be fixed. Is perhaps the superscripted number for a footnote after the FRS causing the problem?

I initially put this up to be speedied considering the amount of nonsense that was previously on the article, however, given that the article has been around for quite some time, I decided it's probably best that it go to VFD.

Wiltja

Wiltjas are shelters made by the Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara and other Aboriginal Australian peoples. They are temporary dwellings, and are abandoned and rebuilt rather than maintained. Open and semi-circular, wiltjas are meant primarily as a defence against the heat of the sun, and are not an effective shelter from rain.

Pioneer Place

Pioneer Place is an upscale, urban shopping mall in downtown Portland, Oregon. It consists of four blocks of retail, dining, parking, and an office tower named Pioneer Tower. The mall itself is spread out between four buildings, interconnected by skywalks or underground mall sections. The footprint of the entire complex consists of four full city blocks, bisected by SW Yamhill and Fourth, bounded north-south by SW Morrison and Taylor Streets and east-west by SW Third and Fifth Avenues. In 2014, Pioneer Place was the third-highest selling mall in the United States based on sales per square foot, sitting just behind Bal Harbour Shops and The Grove at Farmers Market.

History

Pioneer Place I began construction in 1988 and opened in 1990. Buildings demolished to clear the site for the mall included the Corbett Building, an office building constructed in 1907.

The development was built in two phases, the names of which are reflected in the names of the two main mall buildings. Pioneer Place I, or The "Atrium Shops"/Zone A, opened in 1990 and was developed with assistance from the Portland Development Commission. Pioneer Place II, or The "Rotunda Shops"/Zone B, is located across Fourth Avenue to the east. Construction on Pioneer Place II began in 1998, and at the time was to add 150000 ft2 at a cost of around $60 million.

Saks Fifth Avenue closed its store at the mall in 2010, with H&M taking over the portion that had been Saks men's store later that year. The remaining parts of the Saks footprint was demolished in 2012 to make way for a new Apple Store and a Yard House restaurant.

In 2016, Pioneer Place started their renovations, and completed the renovation in 2018.

In February 2017, shared workspaces provider WeWork signed a lease to take 30,000 sqft of space, one of their first leases in a mall.

Amenities

The center has 356154 ft2 of space and 66 stores. Pioneer Place I and II contain four levels, including a basement level. The top floor of Pioneer Place II houses a Regal Cinemas theater.

Cascades, the food court, is located underground below Pioneer Tower/Zone C, which also connects to a parking garage. That parking garage, located to the south, also contains retail space, home to Tiffany & Co. The northern lower above-ground levels of the block with Pioneer Tower housed Saks Fifth Avenue.

Public transit
Pioneer Place I faces the Fifth Avenue section of the Portland Transit Mall, served by several TriMet bus routes and MAX Light Rail. It is served by all five lines of the MAX system, with its Fifth Avenue side being across the street from the Pioneer Place/5th Avenue station (southbound service), and with the Pioneer Courthouse/6th Avenue station (northbound service) and "Pioneer Square" stations (eastbound and westbound service) being only one block away. Pioneer Place II is similarly only one block away from the Third Avenue station. Since its opening in 1990, building I had been flanked by directly adjacent MAX stations on Morrison and Yamhill Streets. The two stations were closed in 2020 in order to reduce travel time for MAX riders through downtown and to the close proximity of other stations on the same MAX lines.

Pressure piling

Pressure piling describes phenomena related to combustion of gases in a tube or long vessel. When a flame front propagates along a tube, the unburned gases ahead of the front are compressed, and hence heated. The amount of compression varies depending on the geometry and can range from twice to eight times the initial pressure. Where multiple vessels are connected by piping, ignition of gases in one vessel and pressure piling may result in a deflagration to detonation transition and very large explosion pressure.

In electrical equipment in hazardous areas, if two electrical enclosures are connected by a conduit, an explosion of a gas in one of the compartments travels through the conduit into the next enclosure. The pressure of the 'primary' explosion together with the pressure from the 'secondary' explosion in the other compartment produces one huge explosion that the equipment cannot handle. Heat, arcs or sparks escape from the equipment and ignite any gas or vapour that may be around.

Operators avoid this by not using conduits to join classified equipment together and by using barrier glands on cables going into the enclosure. This ensures that compartments remain separate at all times.
