 * Delete. Hi. I've just removed the speedy tag from this page. I hope you do not mind. If any of you have been following developments on the VfD page, the "undelete" process at VfU, and related pages at AN/I, you will know that there has been a great deal of controversy recently over the SD process. There are editors who monitor deletions and undelete articles that have been speedied, if in their opinion the article did not meet any SD criterion. This has happened even in cases where the most obvious hoaxes and similar nonsense were the subjects of the articles; i.e., you cannot count on common sense prevailing over a concern for "process." This has also occured the other way around: undeleted articles get re-deleted, then undeleted, and so on and so forth until all that is left is an unnecessarily acrimonious atmosphere and a bad taste in the mouth for all concerned. So we should all be careful with SD; if we're not, you can bet the house that the article will be dragged out far longer than it would with a normal VfD process. If you are going to speedy, make sure you know the criteria listed in WP:CSD. There are 8 General criteria, 7 Article criteria, 4 Redirect, and 3 each for Images, Categories, and User pages. I cannot see that Anything in G1-8 or A1-7 applies. The editor who SD tagged gave the reason that it is patent nonsense. But it is not. There is a page that explains patent nonsense, WP:PN; there are two criteria both of which are unmet by Fuck Hole.— Encephalon | ζ  13:09:24, 2005-08-19 (UTC)Note: there was a suggestion that this was a personal attack (on Boortz). It might qualify for A6 if so, but there is also a suggestion that the content of the article is true, ie. that Boortz actually believes this and has written it. I am not knowledgeable enough about this to know; Wiffle0rz, can you provide evidence that the claim is true? If it isn't there is a good case for A6. Of course, bottom line, Alf is absolutely right even if true and verifiable, this should go into the Boortz article.— Encephalon  | ζ
 * Delete and redirect to Glory hole. Pburka 13:13, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete - Article borders on libel unless documented. Otherwise, Merge with Neal Boortz if such an opinion is documented.  PlainSight 14:28, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Update. I have placed the speedy tag on the article for contravention of CSD A6. User:Wiffle0rz has not responded to a request to document the claim. His actions, as documented in his appaling edit history, make it very likely that his claim is completely bogus. I searched google for any reference to +"Boortz" +"Fuck hole", and there are no applicable returns.— Encephalon |  ζ   15:30:13, 2005-08-20 (UTC)

Ark Angel

Ark Angel is the sixth book in the Alex Rider series written by British author Anthony Horowitz. The novel is a spy thriller which follows the attempt by the title character, Alex Rider, to stop the space hotel Ark Angel from destroying The Pentagon.

The book was released in the United Kingdom on 1 April 2005 and in the United States on 20 April 2006. Initial reviews of the book were positive.

Plot
Former SAS member Max Webber gives a speech criticizing Force Three, an eco-terrorist organization. His phone later explodes, killing him.

Meanwhile, Alex Rider is recovering in a hospital after being shot. He meets Paul Drevin, the son of Russian billionaire Nikolei Drevin. One night, four men break into the hospital and attempt to kidnap Paul, but Alex overpowers them. However, he is captured by Kaspar, the leader, and imprisoned in an abandoned building where the men reveal themselves as members of Force Three. The men set fire to the building after realizing that Alex deliberately foiled their plan. Alex escapes from the fire and returns to the hospital, where he is debriefed by John Crawley, MI6 Chief of Staff, and later discharged. Back home, Nikolei Drevin convinces Alex to stay with him for two weeks as thanks for preventing his son's kidnapping.

At a hotel, Drevin holds a press conference about his space project, Ark Angel, which will be the first-ever space hotel. Alex is treated well by Drevin, but starts suspecting him after realizing that Paul had been given no protection before the Force Three attack, despite claims of always being "a target". Investigating, Alex discovers that Drevin owns the building where Alex was interrogated by Force Three. The following day, Alex participates in a race on Drevin’s private go-kart track; Alex beats Drevin when the latter attempts to cheat, revealing his hatred of losing. Later, Alex watches a soccer match at Stamford Bridge with the home team, Chelsea, up against a team owned by Drevin, Stratford East, which loses. Alex encounters Force Three members giving a medal to the team captain who missed the final penalty. Alex is captured by one of the Force Three men, but manages to get away. Alex tells Tamara Knight about Force Three, but the soccer player is killed when the medal, made of caesium, catches fire in the shower.

Drevin, Tamara, Alex and Paul fly to New York City, but Alex is apprehended at the airport by an immigration official who claims that his passport has expired. This is actually a ruse by the CIA to bring Alex to Joe Byrne, the CIA's director. The CIA have investigated Drevin's wealth and found it to be attained through underworld contacts; they plan to arrest him for money laundering. Worried that Drevin will slip away, Byrne assigns Alex to report to him if he sees anything unusual at Flamingo Bay, Drevin's private island, from where Ark Angel rockets are launched. On Flamingo Bay, Alex intercepts a phone call from Drevin, who will be meeting someone the following night. Later, however, Drevin finds out about Alex's true identity from the security chief, Magnus Payne, and decides to have him killed by sending him to dive into a shipwreck, in which he is locked in. Right when Alex is about to run out of air, Tamara saves him, revealing that she has been Joe Byrne's inside man all along. The two go undercover to investigate Drevin, and see him meeting with Force Three, but are caught when Tamara accidentally sets off an alarm.

Alex is brought to Drevin, who intends to destroy Ark Angel with a bomb and send the wreckage crashing down on the Pentagon in Washington D.C. As the project has gone over budget and Drevin stands to lose money if he continues to finance it, he plans to recoup his losses with an insurance payout from the station's destruction, while at the same time destroying the CIA's evidence of his criminal activities. Force Three are actually hired hands, formed to act as scapegoats for Ark Angel's destruction. Payne kills them all, and reveals himself to be Kaspar, the leader of Force Three, with a tattoo of a globe on his head. Alex and Tamara are imprisoned, but Alex escapes and meets the CIA team stationed in Barbados, but the Atlas rocket with the bomb launches off to Ark Angel. The CIA team storm Flamingo Island and Drevin attempts to shoot Alex in the chaos, but Paul gets hit instead. Drevin leaves Paul and tries to escape, but his plane crashes, killing him.

As there is no way to stop the bomb on the ground, Alex travels to Ark Angel in a second Soyuz-Frigat rocket to deal with it manually. He encounters Kaspar aboard Ark Angel but overpowers him using the effects of zero-gravity and the sun, and Kaspar is stabbed to death by his own knife. Alex then moves the bomb away so that the wreckage from the detonation will simply break up and disintegrate during atmospheric reentry. Ark Angel explodes and Alex falls back to Earth, landing a hundred miles off the coast of Australia.

Characters

 * Alex Rider

 * Paul Drevin
 * Nikolei Drevin
 * Kaspar
 * Tamara Knight
 * Joe Byrne

Reception
Philip Ardagh at The Guardian gave Ark Angel a positive review, stating "It's perfectly pitched at its readership. Ark Angel reads the way a children's thriller should read" and "This is a welcome new addition [to the series]."

Johnstown–Cambria County Airport

John Murtha Johnstown–Cambria County Airport is a civil-military airport three miles (5 km) northeast of Johnstown, in Cambria County, Pennsylvania. It is owned by Johnstown–Cambria County Airport Authority and is named after the late Congressman John Murtha. It sees one airline, subsidized by the Essential Air Service.

The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a non-primary commercial service airport (between 2,500 and 10,000 enplanements per year).

Johnstown–Cambria County Airport is home to several military units. The airport houses the Pennsylvania Army National Guard's 1-104th Attack Reconnaissance Battalion (Company's HHC, A, C, D, and E) and Det 1, Company C, 2-104 General Support Aviation Battalion (Air Ambulance). It also houses the 258th Air Traffic Control Squadron (258 ATCS) of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, and Marine Wing Support Squadron 471 (MWSS-471), Detachment A of the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing (4th MAW) of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. The aerial military units fly helicopters rather than fixed-wing aircraft.

Currently, the airport is served by United Express CRJ-200 aircraft operated by SkyWest to Washington Dulles and Chicago O’Hare.

History
The airport opened in 1948 as Johnstown Municipal Airport, Its first passenger airline flights were TWA DC-3s in 1948; All American Airways replaced TWA in 1949 and successor Allegheny Airlines was replaced by Allegheny Commuter in 1970. US Airways served the airport in the 1990s and 2000s with flights to Pittsburgh International Airport.

Traffic through the airport peaked in 2004 when US Airways flew 21,000 passengers through Johnstown. However, the recession led the weakened US Airways to drop service to Johnstown in 2009, and traffic dropped to near zero. The airport was the subject of controversy in the 2000s when reports showed Democratic Congressman John Murtha had steered $150 million in federal taxpayer dollars to the airport in the 2000s, despite decreasing traffic.

Since US Airways stopped service in 2009, Johnstown has been served by airlines using Essential Air Service funding to connect Johnstown to larger airports. The first was Colgan Air operating flights for United Airlines's United Express service to Washington-Dulles and Altoona. Colgan went bankrupt in 2012, so the EAS contract was picked up by Silver Airways, which flew from Johnstown to Dulles and DuBois. The city complained about Silver Airways's high prices and delays and requested that the EAS contract be awarded to Southern Airways Express. Southern's service began in November 2016 to Pittsburgh and Dulles (later switched to Baltimore-Washington). Southern's service was plagued by pilot and aircraft shortages, and the airport authority recommended the federal Department of Transportation award the contract to Boutique Air, which began service in to Pittsburgh and Baltimore-Washington in November 2018.

In 2020, the EAS contract was awarded to SkyWest Airlines to bring back jet service to Johnstown as United Express with flights to Chicago-O'Hare and Washington-Dulles. In 2022, SkyWest informed the U.S. Department of Transportation they would be leaving the Johnstown market, but when the DOT opened the contract for bids, SkyWest re-entered the competition along with three other carriers.

Finances
It has only two scheduled flights and little other activity, but as of January 2016, the airport had received almost $200 million in federal subsidies. That funding has not been used to subsidize the facility's operations, including the terminal; it has instead been used to construct a concrete reinforced runway for military purposes and to build military installations near the airport. The airport is in the bottom 28% of all facilities receiving EAS funding. In 2004, an $8 million air traffic radar system was installed at the airport; it is operated by the Pennsylvania Air National Guard.

Facilities
The airport covers 650 acres (263 ha) at an elevation of 2,284 feet (696 m). It has two asphalt runways: 15/33 is 7,004 by 150 feet (2,135 x 46 m) and 5/23 is 4,387 by 100 feet (1,337 x 30 m).

In the year ending December 31, 2022 the airport had 24,880 aircraft operations, average 68 per day: 68% general aviation, 25% military, and 7% airline. 49 aircraft were then based at the airport: 21 single-engine, 4 multi-engine, 4 jet, and 20 military.

Genoese dialect

Genoese, locally called zeneise or zeneize, is the prestige dialect of Ligurian, spoken in and around the Italian city of Genoa, the capital of Liguria.

A majority of remaining speakers of Genoese are elderly. Several associations are dedicated to keeping the dialect alive, examples of which are A Compagna in Genoa and O Castello in Chiavari.

Written literature has been produced in Genoese since the 13th century, and the orthography has evolved in-step with the language. There are currently two spelling systems in common use, with varying degrees of standardisation. One, proposed in 2008 by the cultural association A Compagna, attempts to closely match in writing the pronunciation of the now-extinct variant of Genoese which used to be spoken in the Portoria neighbourhood of Genoa. Another spelling system was proposed by a group of writers, journalists and academics by standardising the traditional orthography of 19th- and 20th-century Genoese newspapers. This is the spelling used, amongst others, by the academic world as well as by Il Secolo XIX, the largest print newspaper in the region.

Genoese has had an influence on the Llanito vernacular of Gibraltar.

Phonology
Genoese phonology includes a number of similarities with French, one being the heavily nasalized vowels before nasal consonants (in VN(C) sequences), also occurring when Genoese speakers speak standard Italian. There used to be an alveolar approximant (English-like) opposed to an alveolar trill  (using the 18th century spelling: caro  "dear" vs. carro  "cart"), but it is no longer heard in the city. It may still survive in some rural areas of Liguria, such as Calizzano and Sassello. By far the most widespread type of today is the alveolar tap  (very similar, or identical, to unstressed Standard Italian ). There are several distinctive local accents of Genoese: those of Nervi, Quinto and Quarto to the east of Genoa, Voltri, Prà, Pegli and Sestri to the west. There are also accents of the central Polcevera Valley and Bisagno.

Genoese has eight vowels, twenty consonants, and three semivowels.

 * Vowels

 * as in barba ("uncle"; "beard")
 * as in tésta ("head")
 * as in ægoa ("water")
 * as in bibin ("turkey")
 * as in cöse ("what?")
 * as in anchêu ("today")
 * as in comme ("how?")
 * as in fugassa (focaccia, a kind of Italian bread)

Orthography

 * ^ is a circumflex accent placed above a vowel and doubles its length.
 * ao is read as the Italian “au” or the genovese “ou” or a long Italian “o”.
 * è is read as a brief open e. The symbol æ, made up of vowels a ed e, is read as an open long "e"; in groups ænn-a and æn it is read as an open short “e”.
 * e and é are read as a closed short “e”; ê is read as a long closed “e”.
 * eu is read as if it were read in French: in eu and éu the sound is short in êu the sound is long.
 * j is used infrequently and indicates that i should be heard in words such as: gjêmo (giriamo), mangjâ (mangerà), cacjæ (getterei), lascjâ (lascerà), socjêtæ (società).
 * o, ó and ô are read as an Italian u like in the word muso; the length of ô is double the length of o and ó.
 * ò and ö are read as o in Italian like in the word cosa; the length of ö is double ò.
 * u is read as a French u with the exception in groups qu, òu and ou where the u is read as the u in the Italian word guida.
 * ç always has a voiceless sound like s in the Italian word sacco.
 * Word-final n and groups nn-, n- (written with a hyphen) indicate a velar n (, such as the n in the Italian word vengo) and are therefore pronounced nasally. The same goes for when n precedes a consonant (including b and p).
 * s followed by a vowel, s followed by a voiceless consonant, and s between vowels is always a voiceless, sound like the s in the Italian word sacco. s followed by a voiced consonant becomes voiced , as in Italian.
 * scc is pronounced, like sc of the Italian word scena followed sonorously by c of the Italian word cilindro.
 * x is read like the French j (e.g. jambon, jeton, joli).
 * z, even when it is doubled as zz, is always pronounced as the s in the Italian word rosa.

Tongue twisters

 * Mi sò asæ s'a sâ a sä asæ pe sâ a säsissa. = I don't have a clue whether the salt is going to be enough to salt the sausage.
 * Sciâ scîe scignôa, sciando Sciâ xêua in scî scî. = Ski, madam, skying you fly on skis.
 * A-o mêu nêuo gh'é nêue nâe nêue; a ciù nêua de nêue nâe nêue a n'êu anâ. = At the new pier there are nine new ships; the newest of the nine new ships doesn't want to go.
 * Gi'àngiai g'han gi'oggi gi'uegge gi'unge cume gi'atri? = Do angels have eyes, ears, and (finger)nails like everyone else? (variant of the Cogorno comune)

Expressions

 * Son zeneize, rîzo ræo, strénzo i dénti e parlo ciæo. = "I'm Genoese, I seldom laugh, I grind my teeth, and I say what I mean" (literally, "speak clearly").
 * The child complains: Ò famme. = I'm hungry. The mother answers: Gràttite e zenogge e fatte e lasagne. = Scratch your knees and make lasagna.
 * Chi vêu vîve da bon crestiàn, da-i begghìn o stagghe lontàn. = "If you want to live as a good Christian, stay away from those who pretend to be devout" (a traditional warning to beware of fanatics and hypocrites).
 * Sciusciâ e sciorbî no se peu. = You can't have or do two contradicting things at the same time (literally, "you can't inhale and exhale").
 * Belìn! = Wow! or Damn! (very informal) (literally the word means "penis", but it lost its obscene meaning and is currently used as an intensifier in a lot of different expressions, acting almost as an equivalent of the English "Fuck!" or "Fuck it!").

Songs
One of the most famous folk songs written in the Genoese dialect is called Ma se ghe penso (or Ma se ghe pensu) written by Mario Cappello.

Towards the end of the 20th century, artist Fabrizio De André wrote an entire album called Crêuza de mä in the Genoese dialect.

Norwegian Folktales

Norwegian Folktales (Norske folkeeventyr) is a collection of Norwegian folktales and legends by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe. It is also known as Asbjørnsen and Moe, after the collectors.

Asbjørnsen and Moe
Asbjørnsen, a teacher, and Moe, a minister, had been friends for about 15 years when in 1841 they published the first volume of folktales – the collection of which had been an interest of both for some years. The work's popularity is partly attributable to Norway's newly won partial independence, and the wave of nationalism that swept the country in the 19th century; and the Norwegian written language they contributed to developing (i.e., what would become Bokmål). The language of their publication of the fairy tales struck a balance in that, while it did not preserve their original dialect form in its entirety, it did import certain non-Danish features from it (dialect words and certain syntactic constructions).

Asbjørnsen and Moe were inspired by the German folktale collectors, the Brothers Grimm, not merely to emulate their methodology, but drawing encouragement by it, their endeavor was a work of national importance, especially as the Grimms openly gave high praise for the Norske folkeeventyr. Asbjørnsen and Moe applied the principles espoused by the Grimms, for instance, using a simple linguistic style in place of dialects, while maintaining the original form of the stories. Moreover, Asbjørnsen and Moe did not publish collected folktales in the raw, but created "retold" versions, seeking to reconstruct the lost Urform of the tales—although the alterations performed were not as drastic as the Grimms sometimes allowed license for themselves. The Norwegian pair also collected tales from the field themselves, in contrast to the Grimms.

Publications
The original series, entitled Norske Folkeeventyr went into publication piecemeal. It first appeared a slim pamphlet (1841) offering a selection of a few tales, without a title page, the editor's names or table of contents. This was sufficiently well-received, and championed by P. A. Munch in a German newspaper. It led to the appearance of a reprint of the first volume in 1843 and the second volume in 1844 as proper hardcovers. The second edition appeared in 1852. Another series dubbed the "New Collection" appeared later (Norske Folke-Eventyr. Ny Samling 1871). The tales are numbered, the original collection containing 58 tales, increased to 60 tales in later editions. The new collection held 50 tales.

Asbjørnsen as a solo project collected and published Norske Huldre-Eventyr og Folkesagn I-II (1845–48), which also was expanded by a "second collection," (Norske huldre-eventyr og folkesagn: anden samling 1866).

Illustrators
The first fully illustrated edition of the book was the 1879 edition of Asbjørnsen's Norske folke- og huldre-eventyr, which featured the artworks of several artists: Peter Nicolai Arbo (1831−1892), Hans Gude (1825−1903),, Eilif Peterssen (1852−1928), August Schneider (1842−1873), Otto Sinding (1842−1909), Adolph Tidemand (1814−1876), and Erik Werenskiold (1855−1938).

In later editions, Werenskiold and Theodor Kittelsen became prominent illustrators. Kittelsen was an unknown artist when he began collaborating on the project on the recommendation of his friend Werenskiold.

Translation into English
The tales were first translated into English by Sir George Webbe Dasent. He translated all but a few of the tales from the two series of Norske Folkeeventyr. Dasent's Popular Tales from the Norse (1859), contains all 58 tales from the initial edition of the original collection. Dasent's Tales from the Fjeld: A Second Series of Popular Tales (1874) covers the two tales added to later editions of the original collection and 45 of the tales from the new collection.

Asbjørnsen and Moe evidently approved of Dasent's translations: "In France and England collections have appeared in which our tales have not only been correctly and faultlessly translated, but even rendered with exemplary truth and care nay, with thorough mastery. The English translation, by George Webbe Dasent, is the best and happiest rendering of our tales that has appeared." The latest translation into English is by Tiina Nunnally in 2019.

H. L. Braekstad, Round the Yule Log: Norwegian Folk and Fairy Tales (1881) includes tales from the Norske Huldre-Eventyr. An abridged translation of Stroebe's Nordische Volksmärchen (1922), rendered into English by Martens, provides additional tales from the various collections, and complements the above translations to some extent. Carl Norman's Norwegian Folktales (1960) is a selection that includes some of the tales from the Ny Samling omitted by Dasent.

The Vüze

The Vüze, formerly known as Fenwick Place and Fenwick Tower, is a residential apartment building in the south end of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. At 106 metres and 33 storeys in height, it was the tallest building in Atlantic Canada from its construction in 1971 until 2023.

Construction
The building was completed in 1971 and was officially named Fenwick Place, though most Halifax-area residents referred to it as Fenwick Tower. It occupies a property between Fenwick Street and South Street; it takes its name from Fenwick Street, which in turn honours Sir William Fenwick Williams, former Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia.

At the time the building was being built, the developer boldly touted it as the largest residential project east of Toronto. Once financial problems set in, the goal seemed unreachable and Fenwick Place was sold off to Dalhousie University for $5.25 million CAD as a student residence. Initial plans for the building featured the inclusion of a swimming pool on the top two floors. However, after taking over the project, Dalhousie decided that the cost of installing repeater pumps throughout the building to pump the water to the top would be prohibitively expensive, and scrapped the idea of the pool before construction reached that phase. During construction, Hurricane Beth filled the elevator shafts with seventeen feet of water. In 1971, when the first residents began to move in, complaints were made of apartments missing heat, windows, and other furnishings or amenities.

Hurricane Juan
On the night of September 28, 2003, Hurricane Juan hit Halifax, forcing all residents to the building's basement overnight. Windows in several apartments shattered and the contents of some of these apartments were blown out onto the ground below. Residents were evacuated from approximately one week up to 8 weeks, depending on the damage and repair time to their individual apartments. Unlike most private landlords and other universities in the area, Dalhousie paid for all displaced students and families to be housed in hotels until the green light was given to return.

Sale
In 2008, the university hired a firm to move towards the sale of the building. Spokespeople downplayed the possibility that the building might be demolished, citing the rarity of a building this tall in Halifax coupled with the difficulty in building a new one. They also suggested a refurbishment would be much more likely, and that a sale would take some time to go through, given the size and complexity of the project.

In 2009 Templeton Properties purchased Fenwick Place from Dalhousie University and has begun the refurbishment of the apartments. After purchasing Fenwick Place in 2009, Templeton Properties officially changed the name to Fenwick Tower to reflect the name that was commonly used. The name was later changed to The Vüze, and a purple sign displaying the new name was added to the side of the building.

Elevators
There are four elevators in the building. One is an express elevator, permitting access to only the basement, lobby, and uppermost floors. Another features doors on either end of the cabin, and is often used as a service elevator. The two remaining lifts are local elevators servicing all floors.

Floors
The Vüze consists of 33 storeys, also containing an east-facing webcam run by the Chebucto Community Net. During the Dalhousie period of ownership, the 32nd and 33rd floors were used for international exchange students, as well as hearing and speech clinics associated with the School of Human Communication Disorders, which also occupied the "PR" floor (the first underground floor). The 31st storey, which lacks direct elevator access, contains mechanical rooms. The 30th floor contains storage areas that jut down to the floor below in some places. Under the management of Tempelton Properties two additional floors were added, raising the height to a total of 120 metres.

There is an unmarked floor between the 15th and 16th floors that contains boilers and other maintenance equipment. There is no direct elevator access to this floor. Like many buildings, there is no official or marked 13th floor. Hence, the only floors whose marked number does not match the actual storey of the building are the 14th and 15th floors. They are actually the 13th and 14th storeys, respectively.

The main floor consists of the reception area, offices, the main foyer, and the entrance to Fenwick Street. Following the conversion of the property to rental apartments, an on-site fitness centre was added to the floor. The basement contains the aforementioned "PR" level, as well as three parking levels; "P1" (nearest to ground), "P2", and "P3".

Lancaster Airport (Pennsylvania)

Lancaster Airport is a public use airport four nautical miles (5 mi, 7 km) north of the central business district of Lancaster, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is owned by the Lancaster Airport Authority. It is served by one commuter airline subsidized by the Essential Air Service program and one charter airline.

The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2021–2025 categorized it as a general aviation airport based on enplanements in 2008 (less than 2,500 per year); however, it qualifies as a non-primary commercial service airport based on yearly enplanements in later years.

History
The Lancaster Airport was formed over 75 years ago as a private airport. In 1933 the Lancaster Joint Aviation Committee was formed and the decision was made to operate a municipal airport. Using war relief funds and knowing that the airport would benefit local unemployed constructors, the Lancaster Joint Aviation Committee moved forward on modernizing the airport. They purchased 180 acres of farmland in southern Lititz and constructed the airport.

In 1936 Lancaster became the second airport in Pennsylvania to two hard surface runways, and was certified for both night and daytime operations.

After World War II the airport was becoming obsolete, so using government funds the airport was expanded and modernized, with 22% of the funds needed for the update being raised by the community.

On June 18, 1949 the airport was dedicated after upgrades were completed.

Over the years the airport continued to improve; the terminal was renovated and expanded in the mid-1990s. Most recently, runway 8/26 was expanded in length, bringing it to 6,934 feet long and 150 feet wide.

Facilities and aircraft
Lancaster Airport covers an area of 850 acres (344 ha) at an elevation of 403 feet (123 m) above mean sea level. It has two asphalt paved runways: 8/26 is 6,933 by 150 feet (2,113 x 46 m) and 13/31 is 4,102 by 100 feet (1,250 x 30 m).

For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2020, the airport had 73,087 aircraft operations, an average of 200 per day: 91% general aviation, 6% air taxi and 3% military. In April 2022, there were 120 aircraft based at this airport: 99 single-engine, 9 multi-engine, 6 jet, 5 helicopter and 1 glider.

In addition to hosting general aviation aircraft, Lancaster Airport is host to a variety of businesses: flight schools, planes for charter, aircraft rides, helicopter rides, hot air balloon rides, aircraft maintenance shops, a restaurant and a gift shop. It serves the pilots who call Lancaster their home airport and the community.

We find that Lancaster is within 175 miles of a large or medium hub, Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), a large hub, and, thus, is subject to the 10-enplanement statutory criterion. We also find that during fiscal year 2013, Lancaster generated a total of 3,943 passengers (inbound plus outbound). Consistent with the methodology described above, that results in an average of 6.3 enplanements per day, below the 10-enplanement statutory criterion necessary to remain eligible in the EAS program.

Vera Komissarzhevskaya

Vera Fyodorovna Komissarzhevskaya (Ве́ра Фёдоровна Комиссарже́вская; 8 November 1864 – 23 February 1910) was one of the most celebrated actresses and theatre managers of the late Russian Empire. She made her professional debut in 1893, after having acted as an amateur at Constantin Stanislavsky's Society of Art and Literature. She is probably best known today for originating the role of Nina in the ill-fated premiere of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull, at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg in 1896. Though the production was deemed an utter failure, Komissarzhevskaya's performance was highly praised.

Later in her career, Komissarzhevskaya became notable for her patronage of the up-and-coming theatre artist, Vsevolod Meyerhold. Following Meyerhold's unsuccessful attempts to stage symbolist plays at Stanislavsky's Moscow Art Theatre, Komissarzhevskaya invited him to try his experiments at her new Dramatic Theatre. During their short-lived collaboration, the two managed to develop Meyerhold's symbolist aesthetic and Komissarzhevskaya herself starred in two of the most critically and commercially successful productions.

Life and work
Komissarzhevskaya was born in Saint Petersburg, into a wealthy and distinguished family. Her father was the celebrated Russian opera singer Fyodor Komissarzhevsky, a leading tenor at the Mariinsky Theatre, and her mother, Mariya Nikolaevna Shulgina, was the daughter of General Nikolai Shulgin, a war hero and officer in the Preobrazhensky regiment. Komissarzhevskaya had a close relationship with her father, and she frequently corresponded with Komissarzhevsky. Towards the end of his life, he wrote to Mariya Nikolaevna, saying:

Vera!? To say that she is often in my thoughts... would be an understatement, for never a moment passes without my thinking of her! My whole being rests on my feelings and my thoughts about her. She is to my spirit what air is to physical existence! Human being, friend, daughter, sister, family — everything is concentrated in her alone...

This commitment to his daughter's life and work was a testament to her favor, as her half-brother was Theodore Komisarjevsky, a famous theatrical director in his own right. Fyodor actually educated both Vera and Theodore in the art of acting from an early age. Fyodor was a respected acting teacher with many other successful students, such as Konstantin Stanislavsky.

At the age of 19, Komissarzhevskaya married the painter Count Vladimir Leonidovich Muravyov, but preferred to keep her stage name even after the marriage. Some years later, she was broken-hearted to discover that her sister was pregnant with Muravyov's child, and she left him, throwing herself into her acting career. In 1891, she played the role of Betsy in the first Russian production of Leo Tolstoy's The Fruits of Enlightenment under the direction of Stanislavsky. In 1896, she began working at Saint Petersburg's Alexandrinsky Theatre, performing in roles such as Rosy in Battle of the Butterflies by Hermann Sudermann and as Larisa in Alexander Ostrovsky's Without a Dowry. Perhaps her greatest triumph at the Alexandrinsky however, was the role of Nina Zarechnaya in the premiere of Chekhov's The Seagull (1897). The production was initially unsuccessful, with Komissarzhevskaya being heckled by the audience so extremely, that she lost her voice during opening night of the production. However, the rest of the run proved successful, and The Seagull made Komissarzhevskaya a star.

Komissarzhevskaya was not alone in embracing new ideas for she lived during a time of transition. And like the changing times in which she lived, her performance of self changed greatly and frequently during her lifetime. Reacting consciously and subconsciously to a variety of factors in her history and personal makeup, she changed her persona, her perceivable self to optimize her chances of success in life.

In 1904, Komissarzhevskaya founded her own theatre in Saint Petersburg, where she appeared in productions of Chekhov's Ivanov and Uncle Vanya, and as Desdemona in William Shakespeare's Othello, Ophelia in Hamlet, and Nora in Ibsen's A Doll's House.

Komissarzhevskaya shared prominence with renowned actress Marriia Ermolova and Marriaa Savina, and although a much less flamboyant personage than colleague theatre entrepreneur Lidiia Iavorskaia, Kommissarchevskias Dramatic Theatres (1904-09) were acclaimed as St Petersburg's practical and theoretical cousin to Konstantin Stalnivisky's Moscow Arts Theatre.

Tiring of the nineteenth-century theatre's routine scenarios and the dominant naturalistic trends of the time, however, Komissarzhevskaya boldly extended an invitation to the young director Vsevolod Meyerhold. Though they found some success with Komissarzhevskaya starring in the title roles of Ibsen's Hedda Gabler and Maeterlink's Sister Beatrice, the collaboration proved unfruitful. Meyerhold failed to create a role that catered to Komissarzhevskaya's acting style, a mixture of intense emotional sensitivity with high theatrical seriousness. She dismissed him after just one year, and spent the remainder of her career touring old productions in the United States and Europe, an attempt to raise enough money to pay for the enormous debt she had amassed.

""I am always searching for the new form, the new dramatic idea and the new inspiration.""

Even after her exit from Russia, Komissarzhevskaya's fame was such that when she died of smallpox in 1910, her funeral was attended by vast crowds of mourners, and even occasioned some poignant lyrics from the Russian poet Alexander Blok. One of the major theatres of St. Petersburg still bears her name and, in 1980 there was even a biographical film made about the actress' life and career called, Ya - aktrisa ("I am an actress"), starring Natalia Saiko.

Reactions to Komissarzhevskaya's death demonstrate the social importance of ideas of sincere emotion and authentic selfhood as part of a larger search for transcendent individuals in the late imperial public sphere.

Her unexpected death in 1910 became a major public event and media sensation, prompting an enormous outpouring of mourning throughout the Russian Empire and extensive commentary in the press that demonstrated her significant social resonance and place in debates on pressing concerns animating late imperial Russia.

Talk:Emanuele Filiberto, Prince of Venice

Is it really appropiate to refer to this kid so glowingly as His Royal Highness? His family has no claim to the Italian throne. Indeed, his father has even formally renounced it.

Isn't his middle name Reza?

Because there was previously an Emmanuel Filiberto Duke of Savoy late in the sixteenth century, as pretender he may take the name Emmanuel Filiberto II.

Thomas Starzl

Thomas Earl Starzl (March 11, 1926 – March 4, 2017) was an American physician, researcher, and expert on organ transplants. He performed the first human liver transplants, and has often been referred to as "the father of modern transplantation." A documentary, entitled "Burden of Genius," covering the medical and scientific advances spearheaded by Starzl himself, was released to the public in 2017 in a series of screenings. Dr. Starzl also penned his autobiography, "The Puzzle People: Memoirs Of A Transplant Surgeon," which was published in 1992.

Early years
Starzl was born on March 11, 1926, in Le Mars, Iowa, the son of newspaper editor and science fiction writer Roman Frederick Starzl and Anna Laura Fitzgerald who was a teacher and a nurse. He was the second of four siblings. Originally intending to become a priest in his teenage years, Starzl changed his plans drastically when his mother died from breast cancer in 1947.

Education
He attended Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology. Starzl attended Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago, where in 1950 he received a Master of Science degree in anatomy and in 1952 earned both a Ph.D. in neurophysiology and an M.D. with distinction. While attending medical school, he established a long friendship with Professor Loyal Davis, MD, a neurosurgeon (whose wife Edith Luckett Davis' daughter from her first marriage was Nancy Reagan ).

Starzl spent an extra year at medical school, using the additional time to complete a doctorate in neurophysiology, in 1952. He wrote a seminal paper describing a technique to record the electrical responses of deep brain structures to sensory stimuli such as a flash of light or a loud sound. The paper is highly cited, having been referenced in 384 articles by January 2019.

In 1959, he gained a Markle scholarship.

After obtaining his medical degree, Starzl trained in surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. At both places, he conducted lab and animal research, showing a keen interest in liver biology.

Career
Starzl was a surgeon and researcher in the then nascent field of organ transplantation at the University of Colorado from 1962 until his move to the University of Pittsburgh in 1981.

The Institute for Scientific Information released information in 1999 that documented that his work had been cited more than any other researcher in the world. Between 1981 and June 1998, he was cited 26,456 times.

His autobiographical memoir, The Puzzle People, was named by The Wall Street Journal as the third best book on doctors' lives and was written in three months.

Starzl's most notable accomplishments include:
 * Performing the first human liver transplant in 1963, and the first successful human liver transplant in 1967, both at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center.
 * Establishing the clinical utility of ciclosporin (cyclosporine) in 1982, and tacrolimus in 1991, both leading to FDA approval;
 * Development of multiple technical advances in organ preservation, procurement and transplant;
 * Delineating the indications and limitations of abdominal organ transplantation;
 * Defining the underlying basis for organ transplantation as a treatment of inherited metabolic diseases (thus providing the rationale for current-day gene therapy efforts), specifically for familial hypercholesterolemia, as in the case of Stormie Jones;
 * Recognizing the causative role of immunosuppression in the development of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease and other opportunistic infections and the utility of reversing the immunosuppressed state as the principal treatment;
 * Performing the first simultaneous heart and liver transplant on six-year-old Stormie Jones at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh in 1984;
 * Proposing microchimerism in organ transplant tolerance.

Arnold Palmer Regional Airport

Arnold Palmer Regional Airport is in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, United States, two miles (3 km) southwest of Latrobe and about 33 mi southeast of Pittsburgh. It was formerly Westmoreland County Airport; it was renamed in September 1999 for Arnold Palmer as part of his 70th birthday celebration. Palmer learned to fly at the airport, and the dedication ceremony included Governor Tom Ridge and a flyover of three A-10s of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021 categorized it as a non-hub primary commercial service facility.

Passenger traffic at the airport has significantly grown since Spirit Airlines began serving the airport in 2011, jumping from roughly 10,000 passengers in 2010 to 310,000 passengers in 2019, a 3000% increase. Spirit Airlines is the only commercial passenger carrier and currently flies two nonstop routes to one city in Florida and one city in South Carolina from the airport.

History
The airport was served by Northwest Airlink, as a reliever for Pittsburgh International Airport on the other side of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The airport had regional service by US Airways to Pittsburgh International Airport, until the company's bankruptcy. Northwest/Delta ended its service to Detroit on July 31, 2009.

Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 18,946 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, 15,482 in 2009 and 6,978 in 2010.

In February 2011 Spirit Airlines launched seasonal service to Fort Lauderdale and Myrtle Beach; in January 2012 Spirit announced they would start service to Orlando on May 17. The airline currently serves the airport year-round. Spirit now serves five cities from Arnold Palmer Regional Airport, and increased passenger traffic from 6,978 in 2010 to 355,910 in 2015. Southern Airways Express has expressed interest in a Latrobe-to-Pittsburgh route but no start date has been announced.

In January 2020, airport officials announced a $13 million project using federal grant money to widen the main runway to accommodate any size plane.

On September 3, 2020, President Donald Trump held a rally at the airport as part of his reelection campaign for the 2020 United States presidential election.

Facilities
The airport covers 945 acres (382 ha) at an elevation of 1,199 feet (365 m). It has one active asphalt runway: 6/24 is 8,222 by 100 feet (2,506 x 30 m). Runway 3/21 is closed indefinitely; it was 3,609 by 75 feet (1,100 x 23 m). Runway 6/24 was formerly 5/23.

In the year ending December 31, 2021 the airport had 38,822 aircraft operations, average 106 per day: 80% general aviation, 13% air taxi, 5% airline, and 2% military. At that time, 138 aircraft were based at the airport: 91 single-engine, 11 multi-engine, 31 jet, and 5 helicopter.

The airport has a terminal building with one baggage claim. Long-term and overnight parking is free in lots B, C, D and E. Short-term parking is also available in lot A for a daily maximum of $10. Fixed-base operators (FBOs) on the field include L.J. Aviation and Vee Neal Aviation.

Future
Plans are underway to expand the airport's terminal building, which will double the size of the existing terminal to about 90,000 square feet. The proposed expansion would increase passenger space, offer more space for restaurants and services as well as a second security checkpoint. The expansion is estimated at $23 million.

User:John Z/drafts/blogs

The policy on blogs is unnecessarily restrictive and should be changed. For instance, in the area of Middle East Studies, there are many valuable and highly informative blogs by recognized academic authorities in their fields - e.g. Abu Aardvark, Helena Cobban, Juan Cole, and Martin Kramer and Daniel Pipes. Cole's blog was in fact what brought him to public prominence as a talking head on TV, editorial writer, etc, after unsuccessful attempts to gain attention earlier. Cobban, for instance had an article on Hezbollah in the Boston Review, which did not print the footnotes, which can only be gotten at her blog site - so eliminating blogs would decrease the scholarly quality of a reference.

I propose that if a blog is done by a recognized authority, if the material is of a type that could be published elsewhere, if the blog has been referred to as a source by other reputable (print) sources, etc.

Talk:Mo Mowlam

Image
The notice on the image page implies that this may not be fair use for an article about the author. I suggest we find a better picture for the top of the article - and stick the book cover further down with a para about the book. We can easily write a para on the book as it was controversial. Secretlondon 09:28, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * It's fair use as long as it's used to illustrate the book -- for that reason I captioned the image 'Mo Mowlam's memoirs' rather than 'Mo Mowlam, appearing on the cover of her memoirs' or something similar, and added a note about the book further down the article. However, I agree that a more licensable image would be a better substitute -- in any case the covers of books are hardly ideal. --Ngb 09:33, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I've got a better one - and moved the book cover further down. Secretlondon 09:46, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * You've made no case for fair use on the image description page. What is your rationale? --Ngb 09:50, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * done. Secretlondon 10:46, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Great. That solves that problem, then. :) --Ngb 10:57, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Was her fight against a brain tumour actually "successful" as suggested in the pre-amble? I'm not sure dying is usually the result of a successful fight against cancer. Admittedly, the tumour didn't lead directly to her death, but she would not have died had she not had the tumour. C P Martin, Nottingham 26/04/2006

Sidelining
One of the claims for her sidelining was that she was too ready to accommodate and give in to the demands of the IRA, but sacking her was difficult because of her popularity. 00:59, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Bias
Let me start by saying that I don't like Mowlam. However, I hope I can be objective. Parts of the page read like a eulogy to this woman. Specific examples are required.

"She was successful in helping to restore an IRA ceasefire, and including Sinn Féin in the multi-party talks. She also paid an unprecedented - and potentially dangerous - visit to loyalist prisoners in the Maze prison in an attempt to get the loyalists to sign up to the peace process, meeting convicted murderers face-to-face, and unaccompanied".

The sentence implies that including Sinn Fein/IRA in talks was successful. I disagree, and it is POV at best. Quite how would the trip to the Maze have been dangerous? It was a prison. I imagine the NIO would have screened the place for weapons and the like. Also, I think you would need a credible citation to even suggest that she was alone with these men. She would have an interest in saying this, so it should be proven.

In light of events in recent days, I think we should include her quote about Michael Stone being "an unsung hero of the peace process". I will find a citation and include it soon.

The reasons for her removing the wig in meeting is not relevant, not interesting and doubtful in any case. I suggest it is removed.

I will happily debate any of these points. If there are no objections then I will make the changes before the week is out. Quality control 05:17, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't know about the rest, but I certainly found the wig sentence interesting. Dmn € Դմն 08:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I have made a few changes to the page, as promised. I balanced the introduced. It read like something from a fanclub. Mowlam may well have been popular in arts of the Labour Party, but she was also hated by most people in Northern Ireland. It is fair to have both points of view.

The part about her apparently being stalked by Ted Bundy sounds like a tall tale. Mowlam never provided any proof, and the there was no citation. Unfounded hearsay like this has no place in an encyclopedia.

In light of the events of recent days, it seems fair that we mention her appraisal of the two fallen "heroes of the peace process". It seems unreasonable to salute her as brave, without recognising the risk and ultimate failure of these visits. Mowlam said the words, and they are notable, so they should be included.

The part about her use of illegal drugs was portrayed as a flippant joke. I doubt her actions helped the Government's campaign against drugs. This was after all her job, and it seems reasonable to make a comment on her success in the post.

The comment about the wig was bizarre. Whether she wore it in meeting is irrelevant to any substantive issue. The writer of this section was attemtping to "Dianafy" the page with constant sentimental irrelevant rubbish. This was a deliberate attempt to humanise the woman, and had no place in an encyclopedia.

Am happy to discuss any of these changes. I hope I have expalined my reasons for making the edits I did. Quality control 01:51, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

The above comment about Ted Bundy breaking into her apartment is ambiguous. Does it mean that others have attributed this belief to Mowlam, or that she (Mowlam) believed that it was Ted Bundy. Certainly, she often stated that it was Bundy. Djg67 (talk) 15:44, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Mow33.jpg
Image:Mow33.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Cause of death
This article previously stated that Dr. Mowlam died of "bronchopneumonia and astrocitoma [sic.] of the brain." As the rest of the article did not seem to support her astrocytoma as the cause of death, I did a bit of research. There was no cause of death apparent in any easily accessible news sources, so until someone provides a reference for the bronchopneumonia claim, I have removed all cause of death information. (N.B. I expect the astrocytoma claim is completely false, as her cancer did not seem to directly cause her death.) --Zach425 talk / contribs 02:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Someone (82.38.18.89) recently added the cause of death back into the article. Please discuss here first, providing a citation.  Due to the questionable direct contribution of "astrocitoma [sic.]" to her death, as stated above, it is especially important to have a citation before adding this information to the article. --Zach425 talk / contribs 12:20, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It was revealed earlier this month that what we were told before was a lie. The story was that the tumour was benign and she died of injuries sustained in a fall. Now we know her tumour was malignant, it caused her death, and the fall never actually happened. Astrocytoma is a type of brain cancer; if anyone can prove that was the type, please present that evidence. Pneumonia is common in people with advanced cancer, and often contributes to deaths from cancer. A copy of her death certificate would state her cause of death.

Cause of death (also discussed further up)
From :

 * There has been recent publicity regarding Mo Mowlam when she was Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and allegedly lied regarding the benign or malignant nature of her brain tumour. Her doctor thought that this tumour could contribute to her behavioural disturbance and poor judgement: ‘But there was nothing I could do. I was her doctor. I was responsible for her care, even if she would not let me keep records in a proper place or write to her GP. I told her to tell [the British Prime Minister Tony] Blair but she didn't, she lied… I was trapped… She was also my patient and I owed her confidentiality’. Reference Merrick[19] On this issue there is frank opposition to Owen's concept of the doctors’ responsibility to their own country. Reference Aaronovitch[20]

Sigma Tau Delta

Sigma Tau Delta (ΣΤΔ) is a US-based, international honor society for students of English at four-year colleges and universities who are within the top 30% of their class and have a 3.5 GPA or higher. It presently has over 770 chapters in the United States and abroad. The organization inducts over 7500 new members annually, and is the largest honors organization in its field and one of the largest members of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS).

Sigma Tau Delta's central purpose is to confer distinction for high achievement in English language, literature, and writing, and the organization is dedicated to fostering literacy and all aspects of the discipline of English. The Society offers its members tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships, internships, grants, and awards, as well as publication opportunities in its journals The Rectangle and The Sigma Tau Delta Review. Annually the Society provides an international convention, where over 1,000 students and faculty participate in scholarly and creative paper presentations, workshops, and roundtables, and hear featured speakers such as Ursula K. Le Guin, Neil Gaiman, and Poets Laureate Kay Ryan and Natasha Trethewey.

Sigma Tau Delta also sponsors the National English Honor Society (NEHS), currently with over 600 chapters, which serves students and faculty in high schools throughout the U.S. and abroad.

The Society's central office is located at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois.

History
Sigma Tau Delta was founded on 1922-12-12 as the English Club of Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell, South Dakota. A group of professors developed a national constitution and ritual in preparation for expansion as a national organization, with Fadner contributing the Ritual and Owen the original constitution. The nascent Society adopted its current name in 1924-05, soon holding its first convention on 1925-04-03 - 1925-04-04. At this first convention the first twelve chapters were installed, the insignia and regalia was formally adopted, and the Society's publication, The Rectangle was established.

Founders

 * Prof. Judson Quincy Owen (Dakota Wesleyan)
 * Prof. Frederic Fadner (Lombard College)
 * Prof. P.C. Sommerville (Dakota Wesleyan)

The society has grown swiftly through its first hundred years, having established over 850 chapters. It is one of the largest member organizations of the ACHS.

Literary honor society Lambda Iota Tau went dormant in 2016-2017, with many members joining Sigma Tau Delta.

Organization
Sigma Tau Delta is divided into six regions: Eastern, Far Western, High Plains, Midwestern, Southern, and Southwestern. Each region has three elected regional officials: a Regent, a Student Representative, and an Associate Student Representative.

The Regents are voting members of the Board of Directors, which also includes the society President, Immediate Past President, Vice-President/President-Elect, Historian, Treasurer, and two Student Advisors.

Serving the Board of Directors in a non-voting capacity are the Executive Director, Director of Communications and Chapter Development, Editor of Publications, Student Representatives, Alumni Representative, Web Facilitators, Business Manager, Project Coordinator, and NEHS Director.

Membership
Student membership is available to students currently enrolled in four-year colleges and universities that have active chapters; applications are submitted through the student's local chapter. Candidates for undergraduate membership must have completed at least three semesters or five quarters of college work and a minimum of two college courses in English language or literature beyond the usual requirements in freshman English. They must also have a minimum of a B or equivalent grade point average in English and must rank at least in the highest 35 percent of their class in general scholarship. (Local chapters may raise, but not lower, these criteria.) Candidates for graduate membership must be enrolled in a graduate program in English or one of its specializations, have completed six semester hours of graduate work or the equivalent, and have a minimum grade point average of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale.

Conventions
The Society organizes a convention every year in March, at which members present original fiction, poetry, critical essays, and personal non-fiction. Workshops and roundtable discussions are presented by members and guest experts. Attendees also hear keynote presentations and readings and attend workshops, Q&A sessions, and book signings by featured speakers such as Ursula K. Le Guin, Neil Gaiman, and Poets Laureate Kay Ryan and Natasha Trethewey.

Recent international conventions have been held in St. Louis, MO (2010), Pittsburgh, PA (2011), New Orleans, LA (2012), Portland, OR (2013), Savannah, GA (2014), Albuquerque, NM (2015), Minneapolis, MN (2016), Louisville, KY (2017), Cincinnati, OH (2018), and St. Louis, MO (2019). At the 2013 Convention in Portland, nearly 550 papers were presented and over $10,000 was awarded for student works presented at the convention. Another $60,000+ was awarded for various other scholarships and writing awards. This year's convention location is Las Vegas, NV (March 25-March 28, 2020).

National English Honor Society (NEHS)
The National English Honor Society (NEHS) is sponsored by Sigma Tau Delta. The National English Honor Society is the honor society for secondary school students excelling in the study of English Language & Literature, Creative Writing, Drama & Theater, Film & Media Studies, and Student Journalism.

NEHS works with over 80,000 students worldwide each year, making it one of the largest secondary school honor societies in the world. It has a network of over 1,200 schools and 1,600 educators on six continents. NEHS is affiliated with Sigma Tau Delta (the four-year university English honor society) and Sigma Kappa Delta (the two-year college English honor society).

NEHS awards over $70,000 USD in scholarships annually.

Sestroretsk

Sestroretsk (Сестроре́цк; Siestarjoki; Systerbäck) is a municipal town in Kurortny District of the federal city of St. Petersburg, Russia, located on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, the Sestra River and the Sestroretskiy Lake 34 km northwest of St. Petersburg. Population:   30,500 (1975).

Munitions factory
Sestroretsk was founded by Peter the Great in 1714 due to the construction of a munitions factory (today's Sestroretsk Toolmaking Factory).

Healthcare
The town is known as a balneologic and climatic resort. A large hospital and rehabilitation center is situated within the boundaries of the town. It is the City hospital No. 40 of Saint Petersburg.

Political history
In 1812, the town was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Finland, along with Old Finland. In 1864, the town was transferred to Russia in exchange for a promise of compensation, supposedly in the form of access to the Arctic Ocean at Petsamo.

The representative body of local self-government - the municipal council - has been operating since 28 September 1997. In the elections on 14 September 2014, the 5th convocation was elected (10 deputies: 9 from United Russia; 1 self-nominated).

Railway stations

 * Sestroretsk railway station
 * Sestroretsk railway station (1871–1924)
 * Kurort railway station for the sanatorium

Electric railway
In 1875, Fyodor Pirotsky experimented with electrically powered railway cars on the Miller's line railway. The electricity was transferred over a distance of approximately one kilometer. Although the experiment did not last, this was the first use of electricity to power any railway in the world. Another local railway line of historical interest is the Sestroretsk spur line.

Vodoslivnyy canal
The Vodoslivnyy canal runs across the town from east to west and connects the Sestroretskiy Lake with the Gulf of Finland (Baltic Sea).

Sister cities
The following cities are twinned with Sestroretsk:
 * 🇫🇮 Äänekoski, Finland

Talk:Batman (TV series)

connections
Abbythecat (talk) 03:32, 31 January 2015 (UTC)Ever wonder how many TV shows connect to BATMAN? I can't count them all. But I'll start, and if some people add to the list, it might qualify for the article page. OK, BATMAN connects to GREEN HORNET (which MAY connect to LONE RANGER); because Batman meets Jose Jimenez, that connects it to THE BILL DANA SHOW, THE DANNY THOMAS HOUR, MAKE ROOM FOR DADDY, and, through these, MAKE ROOM FOR GRANDADDY, ANDY GRIFFITH, GOMER PYLE, MAYBERRY RFD, JOEY BISHOP, DESILU PLAYHOUSE (as Jose met Danny who met Lucy), and the DESILU spin-offs, TWILIGHT ZONE and UNTOUCHABLES. Through ZONE comes EARLY EDITION, which brings in MARTIAL LAW and WALKER, TEXAS RANGER. Now, Jose met Danny, who met Buddy, so we then go to DICK VAN DYKE, and Rob was on DIAGNOSIS: MURDER, so that brings in JAKE AND THE FAT MAN, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, MANNIX, PROMISED LAND, TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL, and MATLOCK. And Buddy's boss was on MAD ABOUT YOU. Lucy met SUPERMAN, so ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN counts. That's about 27 shows so far. And this isn't counting variety shows, cartoons, or the "nameless window cameos" (Lurch, Klink, Sam Stone from FELONY SQUAD). I know there are more. Anyone?

This is what I'm talking about: https://www.thewrap.com/fox-disney-shareholders-vote-approve-merger/ I think the rights to the 1960s TV series Batman should now belong to Warner Bros. Television Distribution. AdamDeanHall (talk) 13:22, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

The New Batman Adventures reprisal
It's been a while since I saw it, but didn't West and Ward reunite to voice Batman and Robin in the first segment of the TNBA episode "Legends of the Dark Knight" which paid homage to the 66 TV series? Spartan198 (talk) 15:41, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Burt Ward memories
Quote from Burt Ward on Fox 411, telling of meeting Julie Newmar (Catwoman): “[She was] very tall,” he recalled. “Oh my gosh. I think she was 6’3”. Adam was 6’5”. And they put three-inch heels on him to make him bigger. I’m only 5’8” and they took off the heels of my shoes. And Alan Napier, our butler Alfred, was [6’6”]. So there were all these giant people around and I’m the… short guy. In comparison to Julie, to Adam, I was tiny!” He goes on to say that while Adam West had a stuntman, the man they got for him looked nothing like him so he ended up doing his own stunts, with many visits to the doctor.(185.181.236.222 (talk) 19:55, 31 October 2018 (UTC))

Retconned Names
The television show did not use most of the names we now associate with the characters as they were not in use then. For example, the butler was only ever called "Alfred." His surname "Pennyworth" was not introduced in the comics until 1969, one year after the show left the air. Commissioned Gordon was not known by the first name "James" on the program. Chief O'Hara had no first name, and The Riddler, Penguin and Joker, etc., were only know by those names. I have edited back and forth with a few people who want these pages to show those names. I'm of the opinion we should only use "on-screen" information for articles about this program and its characters. But... I'm no longer willing to engage in reversions, so... :) Sir Rhosis (talk) 20:36, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Vigilante
The article describes Batman as a "vigilante",which may be true in the comics, but in this series Batman & Robin are duly deputised officers of the law. I propose changing the word "vigilante" to "crime fighter". RJ4 (talk) 05:43, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

+1 for this. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 06:12, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Other Recurring Elements
This section is basically a list of trivia such as you'd find on the Trivia tab of an IMDB entry. This article was one of my first edits before I registered this username and I farmed out some of the details to other sections, but left the unsorted catchall stuff and added the "excessive detail" tag. I'd just as soon delete the whole thing as it doesn't add anything substantive to the article. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 06:14, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Comic Story Adaptations
This section is a laundry list of various episodes which happen to have something in common w/ storylines from the comics. I see lots of vague terms like "uses elements from" and "inspired by." Can anyone find any direct evidence of the writers mining the comics for story fodder? If not, this whole list is pure speculation based on nothing more than "Hey, this kinda reminds me of..."

Removing this now. Couldn't find any source for this claim. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 02:55, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
