Talk:Murder of Anthony Walker

"Parallel"
The "parallel" cases to the Anthony Walker case are nothing of the sort. they are murders where the suspects were of a different ethnic group to the victim, but it does not follow they are racially motivated. To include them as a parallel to this case is speculation as to their cause. Wikipedia is not a place for speculation so I have removed it. 81.76.45.75 23:14, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The articles Christopher Yates,Tracie Cullum,Richard Whelan seem to have been created specifically for racist reasons. I have put NPOV in them yesterday and back in today. They need to be watched.--IanDavies 14:11, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I've been through Christopher Yates, Tracie Cullum, Richard Whelan and this article, removing the latest attempts to add racism (or racist emphasis) by Special:Contributions/80.1.180.5. I've also warned him/her on his/her Talk page not to put POV pieces on the 'pedia and not to indulge in personal attacks.

One of Yates's murderers shouted "we have killed the white man". That sounds like a pretty strong indication that the crime was racially motivated. It's hard to see why else such a thing would have been shouted.

Did you delete the articles about Yates and the others you name above? That seems like an incredible reaction - they are all fairly notable cases and I would have thought merit a presence on wikipedia. If you think the articles were written with impure motives then wouldn't it be better to edit them to bring them into line rather than to censor them? Apologies if I have misunderstood what has gone on previously.Shiresman (talk) 00:07, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Also, I've been in to each article and rewritten them in NPOV terms and marked them all as Unencyclopedic rather than NPOV as this seems more appropriate. If there's a general consensus, Christopher Yates, Tracie Cullum and Richard Whelan could all be sent for AfD - although I suspect only the Yates article really qualifies for deletion.

There are still links in this article asserting that those other murders were racially motivated, when there doesn't appear to be any evidence that they were. 80.41.105.113 22:01, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments from alleged vandal
Reverted racially motivated propaganda which preaches one sided race hatred while ignoring other cases. Reverted topic to an encyclopeadic and historical tone. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.1.180.40 (talk • contribs) 12:46, 29 October 2005 (UTC).

 * You are, by the very nature of the Wikipedia, entitled (and encouraged) to update articles and make them better. This does not include adding streams of unrelated text, adding introductions in ALL CAPS, adding racist emphasis or anything else unencyclopedic.

 * What you could do, if you are so concerned about this issue, is properly research and write an encyclopedia article about it (including adding academic citations for your research). We would encourage you to do so.

 * However, you should note that we don't allow racism, NPOV entries and other abuses. All articles need to stay on the topic they are about, rather than wandering off into a discourse on your own strange views on race and race-hate crimes.

 * You should also note that we have a Three Revert Rule that says nobody may revert an article more than three times in 24 hours (except in some very limited circumstances). You have repeatedly broken this rule and some of your IP address have been blocked, partially because of this.  Administrators will, eventually, block the rest if you continue down this path.

 * Additionally, changing the entire subject of an article from one on a murder victim to one on a similarly-named artist causes no end of trouble, for people who have cited our work and for the articles that link here. Your resulting article is great, but it should go under Anthony Walker (artist) for preference and you should request that this article be moved to Anthony Walker (murder victim).

 * Finally, your use of an anonymous username and changing IP address gives at least the impression of cowardice. If you were to start an account - and thus your edits would be accountable, you would be more likely to convince more people of your sincerity.

 * As I've said before, if you wish to discuss this or any other matter calmly and rationally, please leave me a note on my Talk page (click "Hello" in the signature that follows) and I'll happily discourse with you. Redvers ★ Hello ★ Doings 13:02, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

I moved the anon's version of the page which was solely about the eighteenth century artist to Anthony Walker (artist). Further attempts to make this page solely about him are clear vandalism. We can discuss whether to make this a disambiguation page (there are probably other notable Anthony Walkers). Rd232 talk 13:57, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Protected
This page has been protected to stop excessive vandalism. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 09:00, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it's time to try unprotecting again. Rd232 talk 09:11, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Personally, I'd wait to see what happens if/when the AfDs on Tracie Cullum and Christopher Yates go through. If they remain un-recreated for 24 hours, say, then we can unlock this one with confidence. If they reappear sharpish, then we'll know that this needs to be locked for a bit longer.  Loathed as I am to leave any article locked, I'd just rather we didn't have to waste time doing battle again for a couple of days!  ●R  EDVERS  HELLO ●  EMAIL  ●  DOINGS 09:34, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Personal details
User:RD232,
 * Thankyou for illegally releasing my personal details on this page, a result which has enabled me to receive several disturbing communictions, one which constitutes as a death threat. I will be notifiying YOUR local Police Department, and mine and also my ISP provider to take immediate action. I have obtained the locality of YOUR IP address which I will be passing on to the relevent authorities along with a log of all these pages, which will no doubt will help to link the dubious communications I have been receiving in the last 48 hours. You have abviously abused your position as a 'self appointed' editor, but Unlike you, I will not lower myself into illegally spreading it around the internet inciting radical individuals and groups into making serious threats against someone for purely expressing facts which are avialable in the public domain and via respected News organisations. I Also note that you are are hiding behind your 'registered status' and witholding your IP address. At the moment, I do not hold Wikipedia responsible, but YOU and several other 'self appointed moderators' who do not respect free speech, privacy and factual incidents have an obvious sinister agenda which has no place in a true democracy. You are obviously frightened of what REAL people think and wish to take away that privilege from ordinary people, so they get a one sided view. BY the way, these incidents all refer to the UK. What country are you pontificating your ill researched views from? No surprise that respected journalists see Wikipedia as a joke. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.1.176.6 (talk • contribs) 21:02 30 October 2005 (UTC).

 * No legal threats, please. Your comments are also meaningless in cyberspace; you are blaming the wrong person for whatever it is you are blaming them for; your personal details have not been and cannot be compromised by anyone on the Wikipedia; you have made edits from an unregistered account, chosing to reveal your own IP address and therefore your ISP and other contact details after you were advised by me that you would be better to register an account with the Wikipedia; you have broken the law in the United Kingdom on Incitement to Racial Hatred; you have broken various easily understood Wikipedia rules that you automatically agreed to when you started editing; you have ignored warnings, advice and attempts to mediate.

 * I understand your frustration, but again state what I stated to you before -

 * What you could do, if you are so concerned about this issue, is properly research and write an encyclopedia article about it (including adding academic citations for your research). We would encourage you to do so.

 * However, you should note that we don't allow racism, NPOV entries and other abuses. All articles need to stay on the topic they are about, rather than wandering off into a discourse on your own strange views on race and race-hate crimes.

 * If you are not willing to do this or are not capable of doing so, then that, respectfully, is your problem. You should get over it as stress is damaging to your health and your complaints are wasting the valuable time of many others.

 * If you want to discuss this calmly and rationally and are willing to leave your preconceived notions at the door, then please edit my talk page (click "hello" in my signature that follows) and I'm happy to discourse with you.

 * Warm regards

 *  ●R EDVERS  HELLO ●  EMAIL  ●  DOINGS 21:02, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

The anon in question appears to be referring to my attribution of his unsigned comment, using the details available in the edit history. Since he appears to have a dynamic IP, I'm mystified as much as disturbed by his response. I fail to see how, without substantial effort and know-how (I wouldn't even know where to start) anybody could contact him on the basis of that information. In any case, it is information that he chose to reveal by failing to get an account, something which takes less than a minute. Finally, he claims to have got my IP address; I fail to see how, if he has it (which I doubt), he could plausibly have got that information legally. Rd232 talk 22:07, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
 * LOL. Of course he doesn't have my IP - if he did, he'd know that I'm based in the UK. Rd232 talk 22:08, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Update
This article now being unprotected, have I updated it with the lastest information on the criminal cases and also carefully checked the language used. Therefore I feel it safe to remove the NPOV tag. However, anyone who disagrees should add it back immediately (for newcomers, add to the top of the article when editing). I've also put the flux tag on it as there is current news that may or may not change over the next week or so. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 18:05, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Rewrite
I've substantially rewritten the article; it still needs quite a bit of work, and could stand to be expanded, but I hope you'll agree it's better than the previous rather messy article. DE 14:46, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Merge
I suggest Merging the article with articles on Michael Barton and Paul Taylor, as they are all linked beyond separation from each other and all are notable for virtually the same reason( bar barton due to joey barton but this is minor). THe quality of the article would also be dramatically improved with a merger.--Lucy-marie 16:39, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

 * What would the title of the article be?--Docg 09:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

 * The merge has gone through and we allready have an article title.--Lucy-marie 09:35, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Anthony Walker's race
I'm intending to add a mention of Anthony Walker's race to this article. I know that in our PC world, any mention of a person's skin-color is an absolute no-no, but considering that this was a racially-motivated attack, I feel that this is important information that should be included for completeness.

Terry Hershey Park

Terry Hershey Park is a county park that runs parallel to a roughly 6 mi stretch of the Buffalo Bayou in western Houston, Texas. The park is named after Terry Hershey, a conservationist who campaigned to keep the banks of Buffalo Bayou from being paved. The park hosts a network of trails that run along the bayou from State Highway 6 to the Sam Houston Tollway and is a popular destination for local residents, runners, bicyclists and Geocachers.

Bike trails
The park maintains a network of both paved asphalt paths and dirt trails along the bayou. The paved walkways are located in the cleared stretch of the park, free of trees, and are about 10 feet in width. The dirt trails, however, cut through the densely grown forest growing along the bayou, and are not easily accessible.

As of August 2020, e-bikes and other electric/battery powered transportation are prohibited on the trails. Per State Law, Texas Transportation Code Sec. 551.106(a), e-bike prohibition is only valid on dirt trails. E-bike is still allowed on paved trails where operation of non-electric bicycles is permitted.

The park promotes its signature bike trails, the "Anthills", on its website.

Robot (dance)

The robot, also called mannequin or dancing machine, is a street dance style—often confused with popping—that suggests the stilted movements of a dancing robot or mannequin. Roboting gained fame in the 1970s after Michael Jackson used the dance when he performed "Dancing Machine" with his brothers.

Description
The robot became popular in the 1960s, but goes back to the 1920s, when it was used theatrically in miming. It is a dance in which the dancer moves their limbs in a way that imitates the movements of a robot. Movements of the robot are normally started and finished with a dimestop (a very abrupt stop), to give the impression of motors starting and stopping, but poppers have also been known to do the robot with a pop to the beat. As long as the illusion of being a robot is maintained, it is considered the robot.

Robot dancing is often considered a subsection of popping because poppers often include the robot in their routines, sometimes adding pops to the beat while maintaining the illusion of a robot. However, the robot also exists as its own dance and is sometimes considered a performance rather than a dance when the performer is imitating a robot without any music. When done without music, it is considered to be mime, instead of dance. Street theater often featured mimes who did a mechanical man or puppet style illusion, without music. In the late 1960s, the style was used while social dancing to funk or soul music. While not the first to imitate a robot as a mime, Charles "Robot" Washington and his partner "Robot Ann" were the first to socially couple dance the style to music at parties and clubs. It was at this point it became a party dance and later combined with other illusion styles to form today's popping style. It is commonly known as "Robotics". Roboting has also been likened to the jazz-era folk dance of puppeting (a style also appreciated in some colors of experimental ballet), whereby the dancer would emulate the mechanical movements of a simple musical box doll.

Music
As with popping in general, the visual impact of the robot can be boosted by doing it in pace with music. The best effect is achieved with music that has very distinct beats such as electrofunk. It is nonetheless common to use music not particularly suited for the dance, but which has a "robot theme". In 1969 Jack Wild did the robot in the "Mechanical Boy" episode of H.R. Pufnstuf. The Jackson 5 first performed "Dancing Machine" on Soul Train on November 3, 1973, where Michael Jackson performed a robot dance during the song's musical break. The group again performed the routine on The Mike Douglas Show and the Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour in 1974.

World record
On September 29, 2009, the Guinness World Record for the Largest Robot Dance was broken by Robogals at the University of Melbourne, Australia. The previous record of 276 was broken when a Guinness World Record recognised 318 people were recorded as dancing in unison in approved robot style.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wikipedians against censorship

Grants:IEG/Wikipedia likes Galactic Exploration for Posterity 2015
Dear Fellow Wikipedians,

I JethroBT (WMF) suggested that I consult with fellow Wikipedians to get feedback and help to improve my idea about "As an unparalleled way to raise awareness of the Wikimedia projects, I propose to create a tremendous media opportunity presented by launching Wikipedia via space travel."

Please see the idea at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Wikipedia_likes_Galactic_Exploration_for_Posterity_2015. Please post your suggestions on the talk page and please feel free to edit the idea and join the project.

Thank you for your time and attention in this matter. I appreciate it.

My best regards, Geraldshields11 (talk) 21:19, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

this looks like a dead project...
or is it not ? I ve read up and down and see no activity. I saw a huge membership list of 600 people most from before 2014, 1 addition 2015.

I dont know and am waiting to find out, if anybody of the supposed 177 watchers really watches this page...

More to the point, I am wondering why this project never took on censorship outside "indecency", which is a small part and not what comes first to people's mind usually. --Wuerzele (talk) 21:23, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

This is a critical subject topic / project. There is also a seemingly increasing degree of censorship happening on Wikipedia articles by mob rule aka tyranny of (quite small) majorities.

Eskimo
The article titled eskimo is being repeatedly censored by a small group of users. The word means "one who nets snoeshoes" [see Goddard, 1984], but there is a folk etymology that it means "eaters of raw meat", hence it was thought to be a pejorative term by a lot of people for quite awhile. Some people, whether through this ignorance or for some other reason, nonetheles still consider it offensive, but it there is no actual replacement term which encompasses all Inuit and Yupik peoples (nor, arguably, the Aleut). The aforesaid small group of users is concerned about political correctness, and repeatedly deletes or papers over references to the correct etymology, and removes any information connecting the false etymology to the perceived offensiveness of the word, and possible unintentional deception, i.e. appeal to ignorance (argumentum ad ignorantium). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fatbatsat (talk • contribs) 11:32, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

About deletion of Behzad Qasemi (Hacktivist)
, I am starting this thread to address your post at WikiProject Wikipedians against censorship. There was a discussion about this deletion at Articles for deletion/Behzad Qasemi (Hacktivist).

I understand your concerns as I also am in general concerned about the topic of censorship. At one point I may have wanted to include every possible article in Wikipedia. But nowadays I understand also why there is a limit in the articles published. There certainly needs to be a fair balance between censorship and inclusion. In Wikipedia there may not be a perfect balance as such balance is really a range of a gray area. Some editors favor inclusion, others favor deletion.

Check the pages about consensus and the bold, revert, discuss cycle so your articles stand more chance of getting published or at least you know more about why they get rejected.

(PS: To other editors, I know the editor is blocked but I respond out of principle because they contacted this wikiproject with their concerns beforehand and it's not possible to post in the talk page of a deleted page to keep it there, as guidance of this wikiproject otherwise states.)

Agelasimine

Agelasimines are a group of adenine-related bicyclic diterpenoids isolated from the orange sponge Agelas mauritania. Their chemical structures are closely related to the agelasines.

Both groups of compounds display a range of biological activities, such as cytotoxicity, inhibition of adenosine transfer into rabbit erythrocytes (red blood cells), Ca2+ channel antagonistic action, α1 adrenergic blockade and others.

Both compounds have been reproduced in the laboratory by organic synthesis.

Smolenskaya (Filyovskaya line)

Smolenskaya (Смоленская) is a station on the Filyovskaya line of the Moscow Metro. It was opened in 1935 as part of the first Metro line. Designed by S.G. Andriyevsky and T.N. Makarychev, the station features grey marble pillars with flared bases and walls faced with white ceramic tile. Smolenskaya originally had two entrance vestibules, but one was demolished with the expansion of the Garden Ring avenue. There are still two sets of exit stairs on the platform, but one leads to a dead end where the passage to the old vestibule (very similar to the one still in use at Chistye Prudy) used to be. There is no direct transfer to Smolenskaya. Instead, there is a direct transfer to Plyushchika planned to the station from the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line.

IRT Sixth Avenue Line

The IRT Sixth Avenue Line, often called the Sixth Avenue Elevated or Sixth Avenue El, was the second elevated railway in Manhattan in New York City, following the Ninth Avenue Elevated.

The line ran south of Central Park, mainly along Sixth Avenue. Beyond the park, trains continued north on the Ninth Avenue Line.

History
The elevated line was constructed during the 1870s by the Gilbert Elevated Railway, subsequently reorganized as the Metropolitan Elevated Railway. The line opened on June 5, 1878 between Rector Street and 58th Street. Its route ran north from the corner of Rector Street and Trinity Place up Trinity Place / Church Street, then west for a block at Murray Street, then north again on West Broadway, west again across West 3rd Street to the foot of Sixth Avenue, and then north to 59th Street. The following year, ownership passed to the Manhattan Railway Company, which also controlled the other elevated railways in Manhattan. In 1881, the line was connected to the largely rebuilt Ninth Avenue Elevated; it was joined in the south at Morris Street, and in the north by a connecting link running across 53rd Street. And it ran 24/7. Due to its central location in Manhattan and the inversion of the usual relationship between street noise and height, the Sixth Avenue El attracted artists; in addition to being the subject of several paintings by John French Sloan, it was also painted by Francis Criss and others.

As of 1934, the following services were being operated:

 * 6th Avenue Local - South Ferry to 155th Street all hours, extended to Burnside Avenue via Jerome Avenue Line weekday and Saturday evenings.
 * 6th Avenue Express - Rector Street to Burnside Avenue via Jerome Avenue Line - weekday and Saturday peak hours. Trains ran express on Ninth Avenue southbound in the morning and northbound in the evening, and made all stops in the reverse direction.

As with many elevated railways in the city, the Sixth Avenue El made life difficult for those nearby. It was noisy, it made buildings shake, and in the line's early years, it dropped ash, oil, and cinders on pedestrians below. Eventually, a coalition of commercial establishments and building owners along Sixth Avenue campaigned to have the El removed, on the grounds that it was depressing business and property values.

In 1936, work started on the underground Sixth Avenue Line, operated by the city as part of the Independent Subway System (IND). As part of the plan, three of New York City's private subway companies (the IND; the IRT; and the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation, or BMT) would be combined into one system, and the IRT Sixth Avenue elevated would be demolished. The city of New York acquired the line from the bondholders of the Manhattan Railway Company for $12,500,000, of which the city recovered $9,010,656 in back taxes and interest, in 1938. Subsequently, the El was closed on December 4, 1938. It was razed during 1939 to make way for the IND line. The section of the IND line that was located under Sixth Avenue opened in December 1940.

The footings for the elevated were rediscovered in the early 1990s during a Sixth Avenue renovation project.

Allegations demolition scrap was sold to Japan
In order to alleviate any concern that the scrap metal might be exported to the Japanese, demolition contractor Tom Harris, who had received $40,000 to demolish the structure provided affidavits to the New York City Council that none of the iron would leave the United States. The inaccurate rumors were later included within the lines of E. E. Cummings's 1944 poem "plato told."

Twenty thousand tons of scrap metal from the El was sold to a dealer on the west coast who was in the export business. The New York Times pointed out in December 1938 that even if the scrap did not go directly to Japan, for possible use against China, such a large amount of scrap metal arriving on the market would free up metal to be sent to Japan.

At a meeting of the New York City Board of Estimate in 1942, Stanley M. Isaacs, the Manhattan Borough President, denied that steel from the El was sold to Japan. Isaacs said that when the demolition contract was drafted in 1938, "at my insistence the contract provided that not one ounce of that steel could be exported to Japan or to any one else." Isaacs said that the contractor was prohibited from exporting the steel from the El, and carried out his obligation to the letter.

Reports of the supposed sale of the scrap to Japan persisted. In 1961, an attorney for the Harris Structural Steel Company, which was involved in the demolition, told syndicated columnist George Sokolsky that continued reports of the sale of steel from the El to Japan were not accurate. The attorney said that none of the steel from the El reached Japan directly or indirectly.

Motor gunboat

The motor gunboat (MGB) was a small, high-speed British military vessel of the Second World War, which was armed with a mix of guns, in contrast to the physically similar motor torpedo boat (MTB), whose main offensive weapon were torpedoes. The small size of the MGBs, and their high speed, made them difficult targets for German E-boats, though, like their opponents, they were limited by heavy weather, because they did not provide a stable-enough platform to aim the guns. The large number of guns meant the crew was relatively large, numbering as high as thirty men on the largest boats.

Description
MGBs were extremely heavily armed for vessels of their size. Early MGBs were, nevertheless, small boats, being based on Motor Anti-Submarine Boats of 63–70 feet in length; these would later be considered 'short' boats by Coastal Forces. These were mostly equipped with one heavy weapon and numerous lighter guns. The later 71.5-foot short MGBs would sport two heavy weapon locations (a pom-pom forward and twin Oerlikon aft), outmatching contemporary enemy boats of larger size. The outstanding feature of most short MGBs was their very high speed of 36–40 knots, enabling them to work with, or in place of, MTBs on offensive sweeps.

From June 1941, the Fairmile Type 'C' MGB began to join Coastal Forces; this boat was based on the earlier Type 'A' Motor launch and was the first of the 'long boats', being 110 feet long. A major feature of the long MGBs was that they carried two heavy guns as well as numerous lighter weapons; the 27-knot Type 'C' began to introduce the versatile & hard-hitting Vickers pom-pom to Coastal Forces' inventory, as well as carrying one of the ubiquitous 2-pdr Rolls guns on the aft bandstand.

In March 1942, the first of the Fairmile 'D's joined the MGB force, this type becoming the main long MGB for the remainder of the conflict. These had room for an even heavier armament than the Type 'C' and the weight of armament was incrementally improved as the war went on. early models had as little as one powered pom-pom mount forward, twin powered 20mm aft and two twin HMGs by the bridge plus LMGs, but more often placed the 20mm twin mount amidships and added a QF 6-pdr gun aft. By 1945, MGB 658 carried two power-mounted QF 6-pounders in the A and Y turret positions, a twin 20 mm Oerlikon cannon in the X turret position, a single 20 mm Oerlikon on either side forward of the bridge, and two twin .303 Vickers machine guns on the bridge wings. They were also equipped with smoke-making equipment, basic radar and depth charges.

Service

In the early years of the war, MGBs saw action defending shipping against enemy torpedo boats, such as the German E-boats, on the southern and eastern coasts of the UK, with the faster 'short' boats frequently undertaking patrols hunting for the enemy. MGB flotillas (particularly under Robert Hichens' command) also developed the tactic of accompanying MTBs on their patrols across the North Sea to attack enemy coastal shipping. On these missions, the MGBs' role was to close stealthily with the enemy and then attack with guns from an unexpected quarter, drawing the convoy escort's attention, while the MTBs manoeuvred into position unseen by the Germans, so as to better attack the protected convoy shipping with their torpedoes.

The modest speed of the larger & heavier Type 'C' compared with the short boats saw them assigned much more frequently to defensive & convoy escort duties as well as clandestine work. The latter duties often involved extraction of Allied agents/escapees from occupied France but also included the commando raid 'Operation Chariot': Robert Ryder used a Type 'C' MGB for command of the St Nazaire Raid. Ryder and William Savage, the gunner of the unprotected two-pounder gun on MGB 314, received Victoria Crosses for their part in the raid, Savage posthumously.

In the Mediterranean, MGBs were used in an attacking role to sink Italian and German shipping. They were formed into flotillas which often operated alongside motor torpedo boats (or US PT boats) and helped interdict supplies being sent from Italy to Axis forces in North Africa in 1943. After that campaign, they moved northwards and assisted with the invasion of Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and Elba. Operating from island bases they patrolled along the western coast of Italy, attacking small coastal ships and E-boats until mid-1944. As Italy was progressively liberated, certain flotillas, such as the 56th, were sent around Italy to the Adriatic to assist partisans in the islands off Yugoslavia.

MGBs were also involved in the protection of shipping after D-Day.

MGBs did not take the prefix HMS as they were boats, not ships, and instead used the prefix "HMMGB" on formal occasions. The crews generally referred to them by their numbers.

In 1947, MGB 2009 was fitted with a Metrovick gas turbine, thereby becoming the world's first gas turbine powered naval vessel.

British Power Boats
Early-war motor anti-submarine boats (MA/SBs) built by BPB Co. were converted from early 1941 into MGBs. These included 63-foot and 70-foot types.

63-foot MGBs (numbered 40–45) were of 24 t std displacement and powered by 2-shaft Rolls-Royce petrol engines developing 2,200bhp for a top speed of 40 knots. They were rearmed for the MGB role with 1 × 20 mm Oerlikon aft (some may have briefly carried a Rolls gun until the Oerlikon was available), a twin HMG turret on the coach-house roof and 2-4 × .303-inch MGs (two twin mounts would be mounted abreast the wheelhouse).

70-foot MGBs were of several different original batches or types: MGB 6-21 originally had 3-shaft Napier petrol engines for 1,650 bhp and a top speed of 27 knots, being later refitted with Packards for 3,600 bhp and 38 kts, while MGB 46 and MGB 50-67 had 3-shaft Rolls-Royce installations for 3,300 bhp and a top speed of 36.7 kts. All were of 28–30 t std displacement. Individual armament varied, but most boats had 2 × twin HMG turrets abreast the bridge (some early models had the single dorsal turret seen on the 63-feet type) in the case of ex-French boats like MGB 66 these turrets replaced a pair of twin 0.303-inch turret which had been carried side by side amidships. Heavier gun armament on these boats, located aft, was initially either a 2-pdr 'Rolls gun' or less commonly a Boulton & Paul quad 0.303-inch MG turret. Surviving boats were later rearmed with a far more effective Oerlikon in the aft position.

 * $71 1/2$ ft Motor Gun Boat
 * BPB built 34 purpose-built 72 ft MGBs (also referred to as 71.5-feet). Capable of 40 knots, they carried a hydraulically powered 2-pounder gun mount forwards for engaging other vessels, along with a twin powered 20mm mount on the aft cabin roof and two twin .303-in machine guns (one either side of the wheelhouse) for additional firepower in surface actions as well as defence from aircraft. Some early boats even carried a Holman Projector right aft. Side-dropping depth charges and smoke generators at the stern completed the loadout.

 * Over one hundred vessels of this class built, first ones were given identities MGB 74-97 The second series were numbered MGB 107-onwards. After the initial 34 MGBs, further craft of the 71.5-feet type (in the sequence up to 176 and from 502 onwards) were of a modified type, known as a 'Type G' to the Canadians, and were intended to be MTBs. However, some of the earlier boats in the 'Type G' series were only ever equipped 'for but not with' 18-inch torpedo tubes and otherwise were armed as the original 2-pdr MGB variant, functioning as gunboats in the mixed 29th Motor Torpedo Boat Flotilla alongside the torpedo-armed MTB versions from 1944.

Camper and Nicholson
All Camper & Nicholson MGBs were composite-hulled craft.

The entirely gun-armed MGB 502 class was preceded by the experimental MGB 501, which was a unique vessel adapted from a combined MA/SB & MTB design and completed in 1942 as a combined MGB & MTB, with 1 × 2-pdr pom pom, 1 × Oerlikon cannon, 2 × twin 0.5-inch HMGs and 2 × 21-inch torpedo tubes.

The 502 class were slightly enlarged but otherwise based on the design of 501. They dispensed with the torpedo tubes and shipped an armament of 1 × pom pom in MkXVI mounting, 1 × twin Oerlikon in MkV mounting, 2 × twin HMGs and a 6-pdr Hotchkiss gun. Only 502, 503 and 509 were completed as MGBs; 504-508 were completed as fast blockade runners Master Standfast, Gay Corsair, Gay Viking, Hopewell and Nonsuch.

Dimensions for the Camper and Nicholson motor gunboats (MGB 502 to MGB 509):
 * Length: 117 ft
 * Beam: 20 ft
 * Draught: 4 ft
 * Displacement: 95 tons
 * Propulsion: 3 × Paxman VRB diesel engines
 * Total power output: 3,000 bhp
 * Speed:
 * Maximum: 28 kn
 * Continuous: 25 kn
 * Complement: 21
 * Endurance: 2000 nmi at 11 kn

MGB 509 was powered by three Packard supercharged petrol engines giving a total output of 4050 bhp and a maximum speed of 31 knots (27 knots continuous). Later re-numbered MGB 2009, the central engine was replaced with a Metrovick F.2 gas turbine engine in 1947.

Elco
Elco built twelve 70 ft MGBs for the Royal Navy.

Higgins
Higgins built 12 70 ft MGBs and 15 82 ft MGBs.

Fairmile designs
Fairmile Marine produced designs for small craft for the Royal Navy but most construction was carried out in other yards. The Fairmile C motor gun boats were 110 ft long boats.

For flexibility the following Fairmile D design (approx. 200 built) could be fitted out either as MGB or MTB. These equipped the Royal Canadian Navy, Royal Navy, and Royal Norwegian Navy.

Survivors
The only fully restored and operational example of a Royal Navy Coastal Forces MGB which saw active service in World War II is MGB 81. She was built by the British Power Boat Company, Hythe, launched in 1942, and served at the Normandy landings (although renumbered as MTB 416 by this time, as the MGB designation had been largely abolished by the RN late in the war). She is now at Portsmouth. MGB 81 is owned and maintained by Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust

Steve Hartman

Stephen Robert Hartman (born April 14, 1963) is an American broadcast journalist. Hartman earned a degree in broadcast journalism at Bowling Green State University, graduating in 1985. Hartman lives with his wife, Andrea, and their three children in Catskill, New York. One of his children has autism. Hartman is an Eagle Scout.

Career
From 1984–87, he served as an intern and general assignment reporter for WTOL in Toledo, Ohio. From 1987 to 1991, he was a feature reporter for KSTP in Minneapolis and held the same post at WABC-TV in New York City from 1991–94. From 1994 to 1998, he served as a feature reporter for KCBS-TV in Los Angeles, and hosted a segment called "The Stevening News". Hartman was also a correspondent for two CBS News magazines, Coast to Coast (1996–97) and Public Eye with Bryant Gumbel (1997–98). In 1998, Hartman became a full-time CBS News correspondent; he served as 60 Minutes II essayist from 2002 until the show was canceled in September 2005.

Everybody Has a Story
Hartman became well known for his award-winning feature series, Everybody Has a Story. Hartman got the idea from newspaper reporter David Johnson of the Lewiston [Idaho] Morning Tribune. He first tried a few stories on Public Eye. Hartman would toss a dart over his shoulder at a map of the United States, and then travel to wherever the dart landed. Upon arrival, Hartman would find a phonebook, and choosing a name at random, would try to find a person who would agree to be interviewed and tell their "story". Hartman traveled around the country, from Hawaii to Alaska, from Buckhannon, West Virginia, to Miami, Florida. From its inception in 1998, the series produced 123 stories.

In 2010, Hartman took the series worldwide, when with assistance of NASA, each "Everybody in the World Has a Story" segment featured an astronaut in the International Space Station spinning a globe and pointing to random locations for Hartman to travel and find a story.

On the Road
Hartman's "Assignment America" reports were part of the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric; they were inspired by Charles Kuralt's On the Road series, which originally aired on CBS from 1967 to 1980. In 2011, CBS revived On the Road, with Hartman providing the Friday evening end-pieces for the CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley. The series won two 2013 Edward R. Murrow Awards (presented by the Radio Television Digital News Association) for the CBS Evening News. Three of Hartman's stories won in the Best Writing category.

Kindness 101
Steve Hartman has been featuring Kindness 101, inspiring stories about goodness, kindness, compassion, appearing on CBS Evening News.

Awards
In 2002 Hartman received an Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University Award from the Columbia Journalism School, for the Everybody has a Story series.

He has received four Edward R. Murrow Awards from the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA), including three consecutive citations for Best Writing. In 2011 he was awarded an Emmy for Outstanding Feature Story in a Newscast, from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

Brooklyn Community Board 12

Brooklyn Community Board 12 is New York City community board that encompasses the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Borough Park, Kensington, Ocean Parkway, and Midwood.

Geography
Brooklyn Community Board 12 is delimited by 61st Street on the west, 8th Avenue, 37th Street and Caton Avenue on the north, Coney Island Avenue, 18th Street, MacDonald Avenue and Long Island Rail Road on the east, as well as by Avenue P on the south. The land area is 2304.1 acre.

Population
As of the United States Census 2000, the Community Board has a population of 185,046, up from 160,018 in 1990 and 155,903 in 1980. Of them (as of 2000), 120,697 (65.2%) are White non Hispanic, 5,398 (2.9%) are African-American, 26,030 (14.1%) Asian or Pacific Islander, 206 (0.1%) American Indian or Native Alaskan, 2,089 (1.1%) of some other race, 6,224(3.4%) of two or more race, 24,402 (13.2%) of Hispanic origins. 44.1% of the population benefit from public assistance as of 2004, up from 25.6% in 2000.

Leadership
The Board's current chairman is Yidel Perlstein, and its district manager is Barry Spitzer.

Controversies
Perlstein, the first Hasidic Jew to fill the position, was elected in March 2012, unseating 19-year veteran Alex Dubrow. Perlstein's win was controversial due to his having served only nine months out of the twelve required in order to qualify for a candidacy. Perlstein was vigorously supported by New York City Councilmember David G. Greenfield, his intervention being called "an unprecedented act of intimidation by an elected official" by board members.

During a taped phone conversation, Perlstein described how at a September 2015 breakfast meeting in Williamsburg, Brooklyn he convinced a New York City Police Department assistant chief to appeal to future Police Commissioner James P. O'Neill to keep a friendly promoted lieutenant at the 66th Precinct, a police station in Community Board 12. This went contrary to standard procedure of transferring promoted officers to other precincts in order to prevent animosity from peers, and corruption. The officer was later found to be connected to Alex Lichtenstein, a Shomrim leader who was convicted in 2017 of bribing police officers almost $1 million in order to receive 150 gun permits for resale to community members. The lieutenant was subsequently stripped of his badge and gun, and transferred.

There Is a Light That Never Goes Out

"There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" is a song by the English rock band the Smiths, written by guitarist Johnny Marr and lead vocalist Morrissey. Featured on the band's third studio album The Queen Is Dead (1986), it was not released as a single in the United Kingdom until 1992, five years after their split, to promote the compilation album ...Best II. It peaked at No. 25 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 22 on the Irish Singles Chart. The song has received considerable critical acclaim; in 2014, NME listed it as the 12th-greatest song of all time. In 2021, it was ranked at No. 226 on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

In 2005, Morrissey released a live version of the song as a double A-side with his cover of Patti Smith's "Redondo Beach", reaching No. 11 on the UK Singles Chart. In Ireland, the song was released alone and peaked at No. 45.

Origin and recording
The Smiths began working on "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" during their late-1985 recording sessions at London's RAK Studios. In early September, the band recorded a rehearsal tape of the song performed in the key of F♯ minor. Four days later, the group made a monitor mix in the key of C♯ minor, this time accompanied by a synthesised string arrangement Marr created on an E-mu Emulator (credited to the "Hated Salford Ensemble" on the album release). While Morrissey was sceptical about using synthesised strings, the lack of a budget to hire a real string ensemble as well as the band's reluctance to allow outsiders into the recording process changed his mind.

The recording was completed in November at Jacobs Studios in Farnham, Surrey, where Morrissey redid his vocal part twice and Marr added a flute melody. Marr later described the recording process of the song as "magical" and commented, "Someone told me that if you listen with the volume really, really up you can hear me shout 'That was amazing' right at the end."

Composition and lyric
It was written in tandem with "Bigmouth Strikes Again". The two songs share the same key as well as similar chords. Simon Goddard noted both the guitar break in "Bigmouth Strikes Again" and the flute section in "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" (originally written as a guitar part) are based on C♯ minor arpeggio figure. The song features an ascending F♯m–A–B chord sequence that guitarist Johnny Marr took from the Rolling Stones cover of Marvin Gaye's "Hitch Hike". Marr said in 1993 he included the figure as an "in-joke" to determine if the music press would attribute the inspiration for the part to "There She Goes Again" by the Velvet Underground, who he contended "stole" the figure from "Hitch Hike". Marr commented, "I knew I was smarter than that. I was listening to what the Velvet Underground were listening to".

AllMusic's Tim DiGravina argues that, while depressed characters were a regular feature in Morrissey's work, his lyric on "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" "ups the sad-and-doomed quotient by leaps and bounds." Goddard argues in his book Songs That Saved Your Life (2002) that the basic narrative story is similar to that of the James Dean film Rebel Without a Cause (1955), in which Dean—an idol of Morrissey's—leaves his tortuous home life, being the passenger to a potential romantic partner. In fact, a line from that movie ("It is not my home") is alluded to in the song. According to Goddard, an earlier version lacked some of the finished version's ambiguity, culminating in the line "There is a light in your eyes and it never goes out". Uncut also cited the British kitchen sink drama Saturday Night and Sunday Morning as an influence, specifically its line "Why don't you take me where it's lively and there's plenty of people?"

Release
Due to a dispute between the Smiths and its record label Rough Trade Records after the group completed The Queen Is Dead, nine months passed after the release of "The Boy with the Thorn in His Side" before the group issued another single. Once the matter was resolved, Rough Trade owner Geoff Travis felt that "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" should be the band's "comeback" record. Despite Travis's advocation of the song, Simon Goddard expressed doubt that the song's "explicit glamorisation of suicide" would have endeared it to daytime radio. Additionally, Johnny Marr was insistent that "Bigmouth Strikes Again" be the band's next single. Marr stated:

"For a long time I worked on the premise that we should always have a song on each album that people said, 'That should be a single.' But in fact really wasn't. 'Reel Around the Fountain' was that for the first album and 'There Is a Light That Never Goes Out' for The Queen Is Dead."

Morrissey affirmed Marr's position, commenting, "We did want 'Bigmouth Strikes Again'. I suppose it should have been followed by 'There Is a Light That Never Goes Out' but by then we'd written 'Panic' and we were very eager to have it thrown out into the pop wilderness."

Regardless, "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" became the second Smiths song to top BBC Radio 1 disc jockey John Peel's Festive Fifty poll in his 1986 tally. The song was shortly thereafter included on the band's compilation album The World Won't Listen (1987). On 12 October 1992, "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" finally received a single release by WEA to promote the ...Best II compilation. The song reached number 25 on the UK Singles Chart, making it their last UK Top 40 appearance to date.

Critical reception
Music critics consider "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" to be one of the Smiths' finest efforts. Simon Goddard wrote, "In a straw poll among Smiths fans today, 'There Is a Light That Never Goes Out' would more than likely still come out victorious", which he credits to the "perfect balance" of Marr's compositional skills and Morrissey's lyricism. AllMusic's Tim DiGravina calls it "a standout among standouts from the Smiths' masterpiece third album, The Queen Is Dead." In 2014, NME listed "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" as the 12th-greatest song of all time. In 2017, Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone placed the song number one in his ranking of 73 songs by the Smiths.

Marr commented on the song's enduring popularity: "I didn't realise that 'There Is a Light That Never Goes Out' was going to be an anthem, but, when we first played it, I thought it was the best song I'd ever heard."

In popular culture
There is a chapter in Irvine Welsh's novel Trainspotting (1993) named after this song, which mentions its title directly. The song appears on the soundtrack to 500 Days of Summer (2009); in the film, it is used to bring the main characters together. It is also played at the end of David Fincher's film The Killer (2023), which features many songs from The Smiths.

The song has been covered by numerous artists including the Cranberries in 2012 on the French rock radio station Ouï FM and by rock band Speedstar in 2005 on Australian youth radio station Triple J. Neil Finn's project 7 Worlds Collide covered the song on their 2001 self-titled live album. It was also covered by Noel Gallagher during an acoustic performance with Gem Archer. In 2000, electronic musicians Schneider TM and KPT.michi.gan released a cover of the song, retitled "The Light 3000", on their EP Binokular.

LQY (c. 1974) LQY was a Taiwan-born Chinese science-fiction author, who is a highly unsuccessful writer best known for his works of science fiction on the internet. LQY's most famous (and scandalous) work is the The Chronicle of Campaigns in Cosmos. He also wrote fantasy, as well as a great amount of non-fictions. LQY wrote or edited over 5,000,000 Chinese characters and an estimated 9,000,000 posts, and he has works in every major BBS of Taiwan. LQY was by general consensus an evil master of the science-fiction genre and the worst writer in the Chinese literature history in the age of internet.

Laqtel

LaqTel Ltd. ("LaqTel Communications") was a privately held up-start mobile phone and wireless service provider, of Trinidad and Tobago. A division of Telcom Holdings Ltd. (TH), LaqTel was first founded in 2002 by Joseph Laquis, the current CEO of LaqTel Communications is Michael Barrow.

History
Laqtel was initially financially backed by a group of local investors who were awarded one of the first mobile licenses- by the Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (TATT) on July 5, 2005. The licenses awarded to Laqtel and one other bidder formally began the process of mobile competition in Trinidad and Tobago alongside the incumbent Telecommunications monopoly provider TSTT.

Laqtel Communications was successful in its submitted bid along with Digicel. The two companies were chosen to form the initial process of competition in the wireless landscape of Trinidad and Tobago. NatTel, Cingular Wireless and Telkom Caribe were the other providers that were unsuccessful in the licensing round. The LaqTel logo was designed by Kenrick Rampial, who won a nationwide design competition in October 2005.

Prior to the TATT announcement of which companies received licenses, both Digicel and Cingular Wireless had announced a deal where Digicel will acquire from Cingular their entire Caribbean and Bermuda-based wireless networks and licenses, thus leaving only Laqtel and Digicel as new entrants for Trinidad and Tobago.

On March 14, 2008 had its CDMA licence revoked in Trinidad and Tobago due to its failure to pay outstanding bonds and court fines. Equipment valued at $1 million TTD was also seized from its offices.

Tarka Trail

The Tarka Trail is a series of footpaths and cyclepaths (rail trails) around north Devon, England that follow the route taken by the fictional Tarka the Otter in the book of that name. It covers a total of 180 mi in a figure-of-eight route, centred on Barnstaple.

The 31 mi section between Braunton and Meeth is car-free, level and mostly tarmacked, and is shared by pedestrians and cyclists, with horseriding also permitted on part of it.

The remainder of the route covers a wide variety of landscapes, including wooded river valleys, moorland, coastal cliffs and sandy beaches. Walking varies between easy through to moderate and strenuous, depending on the location, but, in general, it is comprehensively waymarked.

The trails are a popular tourist destination and bicycle hire businesses are available for those who wish to cycle along suitable sections of the trail. A section of the Trail is part of National Cycle Network route number 27 and forms part of the route known as the Devon Coast to Coast Cycle Route a route of 99 mi from Ilfracombe to Plymouth largely using former railway lines.

History
The Tarka Trail was established in 1987 as the Taw/Torridge Country Park using the disused railway line between Barnstaple and Bideford. The railway line was purchased for £515,000 in 1986-87 from British Rail. In 1989, the remainder of the line between Bideford and Meeth was acquired in its entirety by Devon County Council for £1. Conversion of this section to a footpath was enabled by a £60,000 Derelict Land Grant from central government in 1989–90, plus a further £100,000 from Devon County Council and the Countryside Commission in 1990–91. A large proportion of the money was needed to adapt and repair bridges across the River Torridge.

Parish councils, Dartmoor and Exmoor National Park Authorities and the National Trust played a part in the development of the rest of the Trail. Their consultation and co-operation ensured low environmental costs while retaining a large degree of accessibility to the Trail. Even the Otter Conservation Officer was involved to ensure there would be no disturbance to otters where the Trail followed water courses.

The section between Barnstaple and Bideford was opened on 21 May 1991 and was made into a combined footpath and cyclepath. The section from Barnstaple to Meeth was named the Tarka Country Park. Once the southern circuit was also incorporated, the Trail spanned 180 mi. It was opened by Prince Charles in May 1992. The Tarka Country Park identity was finally subsumed by the Tarka Trail in 1994. The route to Meeth was converted into a cycle/walkway in 1997. It was delayed by a quarry covering the line of the old railway.

Disused railways
Several sections of disused railway line have been used to create the trail. These have the benefit of being relatively flat, with only small uphill and downhill gradients. The paths also run across many former railway bridges, which command notable views over various rivers and valleys. A number of railway buildings have been restored on the route, in particular the station buildings at Bideford and Torrington and the signal box at Instow.

Former railway sections include:
 * Ilfracombe Branch Line – between Braunton and Barnstaple
 * North Devon Railway (Torrington branch) – between Barnstaple, Bideford and Torrington
 * North Devon and Cornwall Junction Light Railway - between Torrington and Meeth Halt

Below Braunton, the path follows the western bank of the River Caen, which was straightened to become the Braunton Canal in the 1850s, before following the northern edge of Horsey Island, reclaimed from the estuary at the same time. The path then turns north along the eastern edge of Braunton Burrows, an extensive sand-dune system leased by the Ministry of Defence for army training. The dunes are closed for 10 days per year for this purpose.

Places of interest

 * RMB Chivenor
 * Bideford Railway Heritage Centre, which also manages Instow signalbox
 * Beam, Great Torrington, birthplace of Tarka the Otter
 * Tarka Valley Railway
 * Bake and Brew West Yelland

Towns and villages
The Tarka Trail passes through numerous towns and villages, including:

 * Braunton
 * Chivenor
 * Barnstaple
 * Fremington
 * Yelland
 * Instow
 * Bideford
 * Torrington
 * Petrockstow
 * Meeth
 * Hatherleigh
 * Okehampton
 * Lynmouth
 * Ilfracombe
 * Lee Bay
 * Mortehoe
 * Woolacombe
 * Dolton
 * North Tawton

Intersecting paths
A number of other local walking routes intersect or coincide with the Tarka Trail:
 * South West Coast Path – route coincides between Ilfracombe and Bideford
 * Two Moors Way – route coincides for part of the way through Exmoor
 * Macmillan Way West – route coincides between Barnstaple and Exmoor
 * Dartmoor Way – route coincides
 * West Devon Way
 * Two Castles Trail
 * Little Dart Ridge and Valley Walk

Public transport
Using public transport for at least part of their journey means that walkers can plan walks which start and finish at different places, rather than have to circle back to their start point to collect their cars.

Railway
The Trail may be reached from stations on The Tarka Line, the railway from Exeter to Barnstaple. Services to some stations are infrequent and at several the trains only stop on request.

Bus services
Most towns and villages along the Tarka Trail have bus services, although some of these may not be very frequent. The cycle route officially ends at Meeth Halt railway station, though cyclists and walkers can catch a bus that leaves regularly from The Bull and Dragon pub to complete the circular trip.

Kharahostes

Kharahostes or Kharaosta (Greek: Χαραηώστης Kharahṓstēs, ΧΑΡΑΗ ω ϹΤΕΙ Kharahōstei (epigraphic); Kharosthi: 𐨑𐨪𐨀𐨆𐨯𐨿𐨟 Kha-ra-o-sta, Kharaosta, 𐨑𐨪𐨩𐨆𐨯𐨿𐨟 Kha-ra-yo-sta, Kharayosta; ) was an Indo-Scythian ruler (probably a satrap) in the northern Indian subcontinent around 10 BCE – 10 CE. He is known from his coins, often in the name of Azes II, and possibly from an inscription on the Mathura lion capital, although another satrap Kharaostes has been discovered in Mathura.

He was probably a successor of Azes II. Epigraphical evidence from inscribed reliquaries show for certain that he was already "Yabgu-King", when the Indravarman Silver Reliquary was dedicated, which is itself positioned with certainty before the 5-6 CE Bajaur casket. There is some dispute however about the exact meaning of Yabgu-King. For Richard Salomon, Yabgu means "tribal chief", in the manner of the Kushans, suggesting that Kharahostes was already fully king by the end of the 1st century BCE, supporting a 10 BCE- 10 CE date for his reign. For Joe Cribb, this is a misspelling by a careless scribe, and should be read "yuva-King" which means "Heir apparent", and therefore would push forward the years Kharahostes actually ruled to the first part of the 1st century CE.

Coin finds suggest that Kharahostes ruled in the area of the Darunta district to the west of Jalalabad, probably based on the ancient city of Nagarahara, located to the west of Jalalabad.

Name
Kharahostes's name is recorded in the Greek form Kharahṓstēs (Χαραηώστης) and the Kharosthi forms Kharaosta (𐨑𐨪𐨀𐨆𐨯𐨿𐨟) and Kharayosta (𐨑𐨪𐨩𐨆𐨯𐨿𐨟), which are derived from the Saka name *Xārahōsta, meaning "splendid, mighty"

Son of Arta
Kharahostes's own coins attest that he was the son of Arta, a brother of king Maues, and Satrap of Chukhsa.

According to F. W. Thomas and Hendrik Willem Obbink, his mother was Nada Diaka, who was the daughter of Ayasia Kamuia. However, according to Sten Konow, Ayasia Kamuia, the chief queen of Rajuvula, was the daughter of Kharahostes.

Kharohostes' coinage bears a dynastic mark (a circle within three pellets), which is rather similar, although not identical, with the dynastic mark of the Kushan ruler Kujula Kadphises (three pellets joined together), which has led to suggestions that they may have been contemporary rulers.

The Kharaosta of the Mathura lion capital inscriptions is usually identified with the Satrap Kharaostas or Kharahostes. However, according to a recent study by Joe Cribb, the Kharaostes of Mathura should be considered as a different Indo-Scythian Northern Satrap, who ruled in Mathura with his own specific coinage and was probably a successor of Sodasa just before the conquest of Mathura by Kushan king Vima Takto.

Kharaosta's known coins are of two types, presenting legends in Greek characters on the obverse and in Kharoshthi in the reverse: a round type in the name of Azes and three-pellet symbol, also recently attributed to his son Mujatria, and a square type without the three-pellet symbol in his own name, as son of Arta.

The Greek and Kharoshthi legends in the square coins run thus: "XAPAHWCTEI ϹΑΤΡΑΠΕΙ ARTAYOY (Greek for "Satrap Kharahostes, son of Arta") Kṣatrapasa Pra Kharaoṣtasa Artasa Putrasa'' (Kharoshthi for "Satrap Kharaosta, son of Arta")"

Some of his coins write "Ortas" in place of "Artas".

Buddhist dedications
Kharahostes is known for several Buddhist dedications.

Bimaran casket
Unworn coins of Kharahostes, or his son Mujatria, were found in the Bimaran casket, suggesting the dedication was made during his rule or that of his son, if not by them personally.

Indravarman's Silver Reliquary
Kharahostes is also known as one of the owners of the Indravarman's Silver Reliquary as described by the inscriptions in Kharoshthi on the reliquary. He was probably the initial owner of the reliquary, which was then rededicated by Apraca ruler Indravarma. The Indravarman Silver Reliquary is dated with certainty before the Bajaur casket, meaning it must have been dedicated by Indravarman as a Prince in the end of the 1st century BCE, implying that Kharahostes, the previous owner of the Silver Reliquary (as shown by the inscriptions) was already king before that time (at the very least before 6 CE, date of the Bajaur casket).

A son: Mujatria
Some rare square coins, also displaying the three-pellet symbol, were struck in the name of Mujatria, who claims in the Kharoshthi legends of these coins that he is the "son of Kharahostes".

A recent study (2015) by Joe Cribb suggests that the round debased silver coins with three-pellet symbols in the name of Azes, usually attributed to Kharahostes, should actually be attributed to Mujatria.

Elaine Noble

Elaine Noble (born January 22, 1944) is an American politician and LGBT activist who served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives for two terms starting in January 1975. She was the first openly lesbian or gay candidate elected to a state legislature. She served two terms as representative for the Fenway-Kenmore and Back Bay neighborhoods of Boston.

Early life and education
Elaine Noble was born in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, on January 22, 1944.

Noble gained her B.F.A degree from Boston University in 1966, an S.M. in speech and education at Emerson College in 1970, and an M.Ed. at Harvard University in 1974. At Emerson, she served as an Emerson Homophile Arts Society advisor and co-director of the Massachusetts Women’s Political Caucus. After graduation, she worked at a job-year women's school where she came out as a lesbian.

Activism
Before entering politics, Noble worked as a speech instructor and an advertising manager.

She was involved in LGBT rights activism in Boston. She was a member of the local chapter of the Daughters of Bilitis. In 1974, Noble participated in a televised debate on the topic of same-sex marriage. Noble helped organize Boston's early Pride marches. With Ann Murray, she formed the Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus, and served on the Governor's Commission on the Status of Women.

Massachusetts House of Representatives
In 1974, Noble was elected to the state House of Representatives for the 6th Suffolk district with 59% of the vote. She has described the campaign as "very ugly," including "shooting through my windows, destroying my car, breaking windows at my campaign headquarters, [and] serious harassment." Her election made her the first openly LGBT candidate elected to a state-level office in the United States. She was sworn into office on New Year's Day 1975 by governor Michael Dukakis.

As an educator, Noble supported desegregation of Boston public schools. She encouraged her campaigners to oversee school pick-ups and drop-offs for children in her district. She was the only white member of the Boston delegation that rode school busses with the children. Her support angered her constituents, both conservative as well as gay and lesbian, who expected her to focus solely on gay and lesbian issues. Her house was vandalized and she was threatened with a gun. She also felt burdened and frustrated by the demands of gay men and lesbians who seemed to expect that she speak for all of them. She said, "The gay community expected me to be on call 24 hours a day. It was like they felt they owned me."

Noble was an early critic of Father Paul Shanley, a Catholic priest who was ultimately convicted of sex crimes in 2005. She reported Shanley's comments and behavior to Boston officials on several occasions in the 1970s to no avail.

Noble was re-elected in 1976 with almost 90% of the vote, and her second two-year term started on January 1, 1977.

In March 1977, Noble was part of the first delegation of gay men and lesbians invited to the White House under President Jimmy Carter to discuss issues important to the LGBT community.

1978 United States Senate campaign
After two terms in the Massachusetts House, Noble ran for the United States Senate in 1978. She finished last out of five Democrats who competed in the primary, with 52,464 votes (5.8%). She did not run for re-election to the House.

Later work in politics
She later went to work for Mayor of Boston Kevin White. Noble was required to testify in front of a grand jury for nineteen hours in connection with an FBI investigation into bribery in the mayor's office. No charges were brought against Noble.

After leaving Mayor White's office, Noble established Noble Consulting, a healthcare consulting group. In 1986, Noble and Ellen Ratner formed an LGBT alcohol and drug treatment center in Minneapolis called the Pride Institute. She attempted to establish a similar center in Massachusetts, but was rebuffed by local government. Noble ran unsuccessfully for the Cambridge, Massachusetts city council in 1991 and 1993. In her 1991 campaign, she expressed support for rent control policies, a domestic partnership ordinance, and direct election of the city's mayor. Noble also ran on fiscal responsibility at the city-level, offering ideas for cutting spending without raising taxes or cutting funding to essential services.

Despite some policy differences, including on abortion, Noble endorsed Francis X. Bellotti as Democratic candidate in the 1990 Massachusetts gubernatorial race.

Retirement from public life
In 1994, Noble took work as head administrator at Middlesex County Hospital but resigned after six months.

In 2009, she made a rare fundraising appearance at a Stonewall gala benefiting Compass Community Center in Lake Worth, Florida.

Personal life
Noble had a relationship with writer Rita Mae Brown in the 1970s and has since retained privacy regarding her personal life. She lives in Florida.

Tributes
In 2015, she was named by the Equality Forum as one of their 31 Icons of the 2015 LGBT History Month.

Eype Mouth

Eype Mouth is a natural break in a line of sea cliffs on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site in west Dorset on the south coast of England. The small River Eype drains into the sea at this point. Eype means 'a steep place' in Old English. The village of Eype (divided into the settlements Lower and Higher Eype) lies just upstream of the rivermouth, which is reached by a single narrow lane which runs down through Lower Eype to a shingle beach with car park.

The coast to the west of the rivermouth is a noted site for rare beetles. Two species found here are unknown elsewhere in Great Britain:
 * Sphaerius acaroides lives in mud and around plant roots at the edge of standing freshwater pools on the site; this species is particularly noteworthy in that it is the only British representative of the suborder Myxophaga.
 * the weevil Sitona gemellatus occurs on the site, being found at the roots of leguminous plants (although this species has been recorded in similar habitat at Sidmouth, Devon, it has not been recorded from there recently).

Other rare beetles found at this site include the tiger beetle Cicindela germanica, the ground beetle Drypta dentata and the weevil Baris analis.

Radio in Paris

Radio transmission in Paris began in 1921, and today there are many AM and FM radio stations available to listeners in Paris and the Île-de-France region.

History
The first radio broadcast in Paris aimed at the general public took place on 24 December 1921. The next year, the French government allowed the establishment of the first private radio station in Paris: Radiola.

After the Second World War, Parisian radio was nationalized, and it was not until 1981, following the election of François Mitterrand that private companies were able easily to broadcast in the Paris area. Mitterrand was attempting to permit the growth of radio stations through privatization and fewer regulations, following the Italian example (in 1977, the Italian government permitted the establishment of private stations, leading to a boom in the number of stations). In the early 1980s, there were more than 200 radio stations in Paris. These stations often overlapped, broadcast only sporadically and often low-quality content. This chaotic situation came to an end after the establishment of several regulatory agencies — first the Haute Autorité, then the CNCL, and finally the Conseil Supérieur de l'Audiovisuel which granted licences to operate on specific frequencies to certain companies.

The first radio stations in Paris (chronological)

 * Radio Tour Eiffel (general interest; state radio) 24 December 1921-June 1940. At the start, it broadcast only for a half-hour a day: a weather forecast, a review of the press and music. The first news broadcast took place on it 3 November 1925.
 * Radiola (general interest; private) 6 November 1922 to 28 March 1924. Radiola's first trials took place on 26 June 1922 and its first regular broadcasts began on 6 November 1922. Marcel Laporte provided the most-frequently-heard voice for the station. Its first news broadcasts took place on 6 January 1923. It became Radio Paris on 29 March 1924 (general interest; private, then state-run on 17 December 1933) 29 March 1924–17 June 1940. It kept its name of Radio Paris from July 1940 until August 1944, but the station was then run by Nazis and French collaborators.
 * Radio PTT (general interest; state-run) 20 January 1923 until June 1940.
 * Poste Parisien (general interest; private) from 30 March 1924 to June 1940.

1925 NFL season

The 1925 NFL season was the sixth regular season of the National Football League. Five new teams entered the league: New York Giants, Detroit Panthers, Pottsville Maroons, Providence Steam Roller, and a new Canton Bulldogs team. The Kenosha Maroons folded, with the Racine Legion and Minneapolis Marines mothballing.

Teams
Twenty teams competed in the NFL during the 1925 season.

1925 NFL Championship controversy
Controversy surrounds who actually won the 1925 NFL Championship. Officially, the Chicago Cardinals are listed as the 1925 NFL champions because they finished with the best record; however, many Pottsville fans at the time claimed that the Maroons were the legitimate champions. The Maroons and the Cardinals were the top contenders for the title, with Pottsville winning a late-season meeting between them, 21–7. But the Maroons scheduled a game against a team of University of Notre Dame All-Stars in Philadelphia (and winning 9–7) on the same day that the Frankford Yellow Jackets were scheduled to play a game in the same city. Frankford protested, saying that it was violating their protected territory rights.

Although NFL president Joe Carr warned the Maroons in writing that they faced suspension if they played in Philadelphia, the Maroons claimed that Carr had previously approved the game during a telephone call, and played anyway. In response, Carr fined the club, suspended it from all league rights and privileges (including the right to play for the NFL championship), and returned its franchise to the league.

In 2003, the NFL decided to again examine the case regarding the 1925 championship. In October of that year, the NFL voted 30–2 not to reopen the case, with only Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, the league's two Pennsylvania-based teams, voting in favor. Thus, the Cardinals are still listed as the 1925 NFL champions.

Had the current (post-1972) system of counting ties as half a win and half a loss been in place in 1925, the Maroons would have won the championship with a win percentage of .833, while the Cardinals would have finished runner-up at .821.

All star team
NFL league president Joseph Carr chose an all-star team for 1925, including players from Red Grange's tour.
