HNoMS Trygg (1919)

HNoMS Trygg (trygg is Norwegian for safe, secure, dependable) was a torpedo boat of the Royal Norwegian Navy. Her hull was built in Moss and she was finished in Horten, with build number 109. Trygg had two sister ships: HNoMS Snøgg and HNoMS Stegg. Together the three vessels formed the Trygg class of torpedo boats.

Neutrality protection
At the outbreak of the Second World War, Trygg and other Norwegian warships were deployed along the Norwegian coastline to guard against neutrality violations by the warring parties. In one incident, the British submarine Triad suffered technical difficulties off the Norwegian coast, and was forced to enter Norwegian territorial waters near Bergen on 1 December 1939. After the submarine had been allowed to carry out rudimentary emergency repairs, Trygg escorted her out of Norwegian waters the next day.

Norwegian Campaign service
During the Norwegian Campaign Trygg was commanded by Lieutenant Frantz W. Munster and served in an air defence and escort role against the invading Germans outside Molde and Åndalsnes in April 1940 (Åndalsnes landings). After surviving numerous air attacks the ship was finally sunk at Åndalsnes 25 April 1940.

As the torpedo boat was anchored up in the harbour the Luftwaffe bombers first attacked and knocked out British AA positions ashore before turning their attention towards the small Norwegian warship. A total of sixteen bombs were dropped against Trygg, one hitting the stern of the ship and passing through without exploding. The damage the bomb caused on its way through Trygg was however too much for her to stay afloat. Although Munster beached his ship before the stern went under, the ship settled on her side and sank in shallow waters the next day.

German service as the Zick
The ship was salvaged by the Germans, renamed Zick, later renamed again to V.5506 Zick, and served as a Vorpostenboot on the coast of Norway until she was sunk by 21 de Havilland Mosquitos from 235 and 248 Squadrons RAF on 23 October 1944. She was escorting a three-ship convoy in Hjeltefjord near Bergen when the convoy came under attack by the rocket and autocannon firing Mosquitos.

All three cargo ships in the convoy suffered damage while Zick was blown apart, taking three Germans down with her. Before she was sunk Zick managed to slightly damage two of the attacking aircraft with her anti-aircraft armament.

Oseledets theorem

In mathematics, the multiplicative ergodic theorem, or Oseledets theorem provides the theoretical background for computation of Lyapunov exponents of a nonlinear dynamical system. It was proved by Valery Oseledets (also spelled "Oseledec") in 1965 and reported at the International Mathematical Congress in Moscow in 1966. A conceptually different proof of the multiplicative ergodic theorem was found by M. S. Raghunathan. The theorem has been extended to semisimple Lie groups by V. A. Kaimanovich and further generalized in the works of David Ruelle, Grigory Margulis, Anders Karlsson, and François Ledrappier.

Cocycles
The multiplicative ergodic theorem is stated in terms of matrix cocycles of a dynamical system. The theorem states conditions for the existence of the defining limits and describes the Lyapunov exponents. It does not address the rate of convergence.

A cocycle of an autonomous dynamical system X is a map C : X×T → Rn×n satisfying

 * $$C(x,0)=I_n {\rm~for~all~} x\in X$$

 * $$C(x,t+s)=C(x(t),s)\,C(x,t) {\rm~for~all~} x\in X {\rm~and~} t,s\in T$$

where X and T (with T = Z⁺ or T = R⁺) are the phase space and the time range, respectively, of the dynamical system, and In is the n-dimensional unit matrix. The dimension n of the matrices C is not related to the phase space X.

Examples

 * A prominent example of a cocycle is given by the matrix Jt in the theory of Lyapunov exponents. In this special case, the dimension n of the matrices is the same as the dimension of the manifold X.
 * For any cocycle C, the determinant det C(x, t) is a one-dimensional cocycle.

Statement of the theorem
Let μ be an ergodic invariant measure on X and C a cocycle of the dynamical system such that for each t ∈ T, the maps $$x \rightarrow \log\|C(x,t)\|$$ and $$x \rightarrow \log\|C(x,t)^{-1}\|$$ are L1-integrable with respect to μ. Then for μ-almost all x and each non-zero vector u ∈ Rn the limit

 * $$\lambda=\lim_{t\to\infty}{1\over t} \log{\|C(x,t)u\| \over \|u\|}$$

exists and assumes, depending on u but not on x, up to n different values. These are the Lyapunov exponents.

Further, if λ1 > ... > λm are the different limits then there are subspaces Rn = R1 ⊃ ... ⊃ Rm ⊃ Rm+1 = {0}, depending on x, such that the limit is λi for u ∈ Ri \ Ri+1 and i = 1, ..., m.

The values of the Lyapunov exponents are invariant with respect to a wide range of coordinate transformations. Suppose that g : X → X is a one-to-one map such that $$\partial g/\partial x$$ and its inverse exist; then the values of the Lyapunov exponents do not change.

Additive versus multiplicative ergodic theorems
Verbally, ergodicity means that time and space averages are equal, formally:
 * $$\lim_{t\to\infty}{1\over t} \int_0^t f(x(s))\,ds = {1\over \mu(X)} \int_X f(x)\,\mu(dx)$$

where the integrals and the limit exist. Space average (right hand side, μ is an ergodic measure on X) is the accumulation of f(x) values weighted by μ(dx). Since addition is commutative, the accumulation of the f(x)μ(dx) values may be done in arbitrary order. In contrast, the time average (left hand side) suggests a specific ordering of the f(x(s)) values along the trajectory.

Since matrix multiplication is, in general, not commutative, accumulation of multiplied cocycle values (and limits thereof) according to C(x(t0),tk) = C(x(tk−1),tk − tk−1) ... C(x(t0),t1 − t0) — for tk large and the steps ti − ti−1 small — makes sense only for a prescribed ordering. Thus, the time average may exist (and the theorem states that it actually exists), but there is no space average counterpart. In other words, the Oseledets theorem differs from additive ergodic theorems (such as G. D. Birkhoff's and J. von Neumann's) in that it guarantees the existence of the time average, but makes no claim about the space average.

Request for submitting dispute to a Mediation Committee
Look, I think we should really submit our difference of opinion to a Mediation Committee. It is clear at this point neither I can convince you, nor you can convince me, and it is useless to continue editing each other's updates. I obviously will accept any decision the Committee makes. What do you think? Copperchair 04:37, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, I really want this edit war to stop. I edit the article from a completist fan's point of view, but I do understand how you feel on the issue. I am a huge fan of the changes made to the movies, and feel that any change he makes is how the casting should be listed, because it was his change. Although I undersatnd that there is technically an official cast listing of names given at a film's initial release that typically is understood to be the most correct form of credits, whether it actually is or not. I think that both of our ideas are great categories for an encylopedic article, and should both be incorporated somehow nto the article, mine being an updated, complete list, and yours being a list of the official credits stated i the films' ending sequences. Submitting the issue to a Mediation Commitee will be fine with me. I, for one, am tired of the long-going dispute over the issue. Adamwankenobi 18 July 2005

The edit war has been stopped by protecting the page. Anyway, glad to have talked with you in a civilized way... Copperchair 00:15, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I LOVE the Special Editions, for two reasons: one being that those are the versions I watched at the movie theater and the ones I remember most (because I own the VHS), and the other being that Lucas said in 1997 that those were his "definitive vision" (he lied), and back then I beleived him.

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi 2004 DVD Non-Credited roles question
Did Boba Fett actually talk in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi?! When was that? Thank you. Copperchair 03:13, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Boba Fett didn't actually talk, as in say any words. He made, basically two sounds. The first, which was added to the 2004 DVD, was of him laughing in Jabba's palace, made to sound dimilar to how he did in Attack of the Clones. I don't know who did this voice, whtether or not it was Temeura Morrison or Daniel Logan, or if it was computer generated. The second sound was when he screamed when his jet pack was ignited by Han and he fell in the Sarlaac and succombed to his lame death scene. And Morrison didn't voice him, the scream sounded the same as in the other editions, so we can remove that Morrison voiced Fett in Return of the Jedi. I don't know who did the scream but I'm sure its on the internet somewhere. By the way, we need to figure out something similar for the episode 3 article, so it can be unprotected as well. Adamwankenobi 21 July 2005

That's what I thought. I already removed it. Copperchair 03:55, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Signing on Talk pages
Adam, do you know how to sign your name on Talk pages? It hasn't been an issue on The Star Wars Holiday Special, since I knew who I was communicating with. But in situations with more than two editors, it's always a good idea to put your name after your comments. You do it by writing four tildes ( ~ ) in a row. BrianSmithson 13:46, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Adam, do you understand why vandalism is not good for an encyclopedia? Really? When I read your user page, the e-mail you sent me in July, and go through your contributions--including all the anonymous ones--I'm honestly baffled. You seem to think that your vandalism is all in good fun, and you can just casually change from a vandal into a good editor and back again without consequence.

Re: SuperShadow
Ok, saw the article. It's quite odd that he looks like some innocent 12-year-old stuck in a 20-something's body, instead of someone evil-looking like this convicted child molester. You'd think the "dark energies" streaming through him every time he lies would (gradually) make him as deformed as Couey was, much like how the dark energies defaced Palpatine!

During the time that I've studied his website, he does seem to give different answers to the same questions asked by different submitters. I thought there was indeed something fishy. Looks like all evidence points to this!

I guess if he's going to lie, he should at least keep a good memory! I want my untold amount of time I spent submitting questions to him, back!

So with SuperShadow thrown out the window, who do you think is going to direct the TV Series after Lucas?

PS: Who is the guy in that tanscale photo that Supershadow purports he is?

Rv on ROTS article
This is just a friendly note not to take the revert too badly--edit summaries I use a lot for communication in resolving disagreements when it seems too trivial to take to a talk page. Anyway, I don't think it makes sense to list "Emperor Palpatine" as an alternative name for Chancellor Palpatine because it's a change of title, not of name. It's like having Admiral Needa as an alternative name for Captain Needa in ESB. — Phil Welch 06:18, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Naming Mistake.
Everything looks fine. Only the DVD of Episode II has no significant changes, and we don't know yet if the Episode III DVD will have changes, so I removed the specification before the Plot summary. By the way, regarding your adding of the "suited Darth Vader", I think it's a good one, so I urge you to look at the article for "Darth Vader", because there he is referred to as Anakin until he wears the suit, which was the object of a dispute between me and Phil.

What a film is
A film needs certain things to truly exist. It does not need a soundtrack. It does not need a book. It does not need a game. It doesn't even need a plot. It does however need to be filmed on with a camera that records motion. Since Shadows of the Empire was never filmed, it is not a movie.

Pac Man has a game, a book, a toyline, a soundtrack and a TV show, but that does not make it a feature film.

Please consider this before adding Shadows to the films category. - Dr Haggis - Talk 04:06, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

I don't know of any rumors about the Imperial stuff I said (which is why I asked). But I do think it is possible, as the series will take place before ROTS and ANH.

A revolation is that Wikipedia is NOT your personal plaything. I'm looking at your talk page, and you have done one of the biggest offenses on Wikipedia - sockpuppetry. And now, you revert edits without even considering that, perhaps, the article DOES need cleaning up. I've been here for almost a year, and you've been here for only about one month and ten days. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:47, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

I also see you're sixteen years old. That would explain it. Oh well, at least school will help keep you from burdening Wikipedia anymore. I'm trying to help Empire Strikes Back, and you put that shit back on.

When did I say this is my article? Am I the one reverting quality edits because I don't want people outside of my community involved? Or am I the guy who said: "Wikipedia is what I want it to be, not what others want it to be."? - A Link to the Past (talk) 02:08, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

 * It's true I have done sock puppetry. It was an enjoyable experience. But if you noticed, I am also a frequent useful contributor to the star wars articles. I've never vandalized them because I have respect for them. George W. Bush, on the other hand, I do not, nor his page, which is why I used a string of sock puppets to vandalize it.

Uh, what? I've gotten three articles featured, and how many have you gotten featured? None? *thumbs up* Excuse my childishness; Back the actual point, you yourself admitted it needed a rewrite, but you wanted your friend to do it. If it's so bad of an edit, you wouldn't have claimed that it was an appropriate edit now, would you? - A Link to the Past (talk) 02:18, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

I repeat, Wikipedia is not your own personal play thing. If you want to make the perfect article that goes against reasonability of Wikipedia, there's a place more willing to accept it. - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:00, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

What do you mean?
The sock puppet string was back in June. Oh, they took care of it, quite well. I'm done, as they threatened me with a year-long ban. They are VERY aware of what I have done. I caused them to rethink their policies on vandalism. What is your concern with it, by the way? Adamwankenobi 02:18, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Hold Your Colour

Hold Your Colour is the debut studio album by the Australian drum and bass band Pendulum, released on 25 July 2005 and later reissued in 2007 by Breakbeat Kaos. The album was mastered by Stuart Hawkes at Metropolis in London. The album features collaborations with artists such as the DJs Fresh and TC, the MCs $pyda and Fats, vocalists from bands Freestylers and Halogen, and guitarists from bands Karnivool and Concord Dawn, together with Peredur ap Gwynedd.

Release
Five singles were produced from the album, including "Slam" / "Out Here", the first single by Pendulum to reach the top 40 in the UK Singles Chart. In addition, a non-album single, "Blood Sugar" / "Axle Grinder", released on 18 June 2007, later replaced "Another Planet" and "Still Grey" on the reissue of Hold Your Colour due to its popularity.

Otherwise, the LP was released as a triple 12", and features, together with "Hold Your Colour", all the tracks that did not appear on any single. A promotional LP contained also "Slam" / "Out Here".

The album cover inspired the single cover for the later Pendulum release "Witchcraft".

Reception
The album received very positive critical attention in both Australia and the United Kingdom, becoming one of the best-selling drum and bass albums of all time, along with New Forms by Roni Size. 225,000 copies of Hold Your Colour were sold in the UK. On 25 May 2008, it entered the top 40 of the UK Albums Chart for the first time, peaking at number 29 on 16 August.

"Slam" was featured in the soundtrack for the video game MotorStorm on the PlayStation 3 console, and the Bipolar mix of "Hold your Colour" was featured on "FIFA Street 2", Dance Dance Revolution Universe on the Xbox 360 console and on the premiere episode of Sky1's Gladiators. It has also been picked up by the relaunched Nine's Wide World of Sports as an outro to the show and as a precursor to advertising breaks. The track "Tarantula" was featured in the Australian television drama series Underbelly, in an episode of the UK series Skins and CSI: Miami, and in the soundtrack for the video game MotorStorm: Pacific Rift.

Reissue
In the 2007 reissue, "Blood Sugar" and "Axle Grinder" took the place of "Another Planet" and "Still Grey". The reissue also contains gaps of silence at the end of each track. "Plasticworld" is also written as "Plastic World"

Mel Welles

Mel Welles (February 17, 1924 – August 19, 2005) was an American film actor and director. His best-remembered role may be that of hapless flower shop owner Gravis Mushnick in the 1960 low-budget Roger Corman dark comedy, The Little Shop of Horrors.

Life and career
Welles was born Ira W. Meltcher in the Bronx, New York City, son of Max and Sally Grichewsky Meltcher. He was raised in Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania and graduated from Mt. Carmel High School, in 1940. He went on to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from Penn State University, a Master of Arts degree from West Virginia University, and a Ph.D. in psychology from Columbia University.

Welles held a number of jobs during his lifetime; at one time or another he worked as a clinical psychologist, radio DJ, television actor, writer and film director. He did some stage work before traveling to Hollywood, where in 1953 he appeared in his first film, Appointment in Honduras. His favorite role (The Little Shop of Horrors) was also his last in the U.S. for many years.

In the early 1960s, he left the United States initially to make a film in Germany. After the producer was arrested he travelled to Rome to act, produce and direct mostly uncredited primarily in Europe several film productions including the cult horror films Maneater of Hydra (1967) and Lady Frankenstein (1971). His fluency in five languages proved to be most helpful where he started a dubbing company that by his own estimate dubbed over 800 European made films. He also served as a film consultant. Later, he returned to the U.S., appearing in a number of films, doing voice work, and teaching voice acting.

Probably his most widely seen work in the late 1970s was his English adaptation of the Japanese television show, Spectreman which was seen on UHF and cable across the United States. While he shares writing credit with two other people, it's clear that most of the English voice work, and the offbeat humor, is his. Reportedly, Welles also wrote gag material for Lord Buckley at some point in his career.

In 1998, Welles took to the stage in a community theater production of Little Shop of Horrors as Mushnik, the role he created in the original Roger Corman film. Welles had never performed in the musical and was happy to be asked to do the role, which he described as a "mitzvah" for Scotts Valley Performing Arts. Jonathan Haze, who played Seymour in the original film, attended the opening, and Welles also received a visit from Martin P. Robinson, the designer of the Audrey II plant puppets used in the off-Broadway production (Robinson is also famous for his puppetry on Sesame Street).

Arguably his most remembered piece is the beat poem he wrote for the classic film High School Confidential (1958). Famously delivered by Phillipa Fallon, Dragsville, has become a classic piece of literary and cinema history.

Welles was working on a horror screenplay, tentatively titled House of a Hundred Horrors, at the time of his death on August 19, 2005, at the age of 81.

Edward N. Zalta

Edward Nouri Zalta (born March 16, 1952) is an American philosopher who is a senior research scholar at the Center for the Study of Language and Information at Stanford University. He received his BA from Rice University in 1975 and his PhD from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1981, both in philosophy. Zalta has taught courses at Stanford University, Rice University, the University of Salzburg, and the University of Auckland. Zalta is also the Principal Editor of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

Research
Zalta's most notable philosophical position is descended from the positions of Alexius Meinong and Ernst Mally, who suggested that there are many non-existent objects. On Zalta's account, some objects (the ordinary concrete ones around us, like tables and chairs) exemplify properties, while others (abstract objects like numbers, and what others would call "non-existent objects", like the round square, and the mountain made entirely of gold) merely encode them. While the objects that exemplify properties are discovered through traditional empirical means, a simple set of axioms allows us to know about objects that encode properties. For every set of properties, there is exactly one object that encodes exactly that set of properties and no others. This allows for a formalized ontology.

Talk:Jim Gerlach

Question
Who keeps changing this entry to Lois Murphy?

 * Don't know - someone who's very confused (and I'm a Murphy supporter). Changing it back. jesup 04:30, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

NPOV - district shape
The bit about the district being shaped for Gerlach to win may be true, but needs a citation or something.

 * The first external link is a citation for that. jesup 18:26, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Partisan claims removed| --66.218.18.121 03:48, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Removing partisan edit. As per Using Talk pages, Wikipedia is not a soapbox, and talk pages are not for partisan point-making (in any direction) - they're for discussion of the content of the main page.  jesup 04:30, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

partisan edits
71.225.69.95 has made and now re-made partisan edits. Also, the list of endorsements he's been adding is cut-and-pasted from Gerlach's campaign website, and so is also a copyright violation. A survey of other active politician wiki pages show that lists of endorsements are generally not considered appropriate for biography pages. (See Ed Rendell Lynn Swann, etc.) There are also issues with his/her current edits technically (lost link to notable races). Bio pages need to be fact-based, and avoid becoming campaign website stand-ins. jesup 11:58, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Some additional comments: I suspect the user making these edits is a newcomer to Wikipedia and NPOV/etc; the only older edit from that IP was probably from someone who was handed that address in the past by DHCP. After their first edit, I tried to incorporate as much as possible of their edit while still keeping to NPOV and normal bio guidelines, and I'm open to properly sourced and written changes (though I believe a list of all endorsements is probably not appropriate, that doesn't mean all ways of discussing endorsements are inappropriate).  After their botched attempt to undo my edits, I just reverted it.  jesup 13:09, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The anonuser has redone part of their edit (though not the copyvio portion of it). They have not answered the objections above here or on their talk page.  I'm considering reverting their edit again, but I wish to avoid an edit war on this.  I should note that the text on Delay in question is factual and appropriately referenced, has been here without change for many months, and includes Gerlach's response to the issue (also referenced).  In response to their first edit, when reverting it I did try to retain what I could, and moved this into a subheading on fundraising along with the fundraising summary link.  jesup 04:11, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Eliminating Partisan entry re: fundraising
Jessup keeps adding a Partisan statement about Fundraising which criticizes James Gerlach’s fundraising. This statement is lifted straight from the television add of his opponent in the 2006 Congressional race. As such it is partisan and contrary to Wikipedia’s goal of keeping such bio pages as neutral and unbiased as possible.

 * First, you should sign your messages on Talk pages with four tilde's (look down and you'll see "Sign your name"). Thanks for finally discussing the issue (after at least 3 requests), though I notice you reverted the page again.  I also notice you have not made any edit summaries on any of your edits of the page; when editing a page (and especially when reverting a page) you are supposed to comment on your edit.  Disputed edits/reverts should be discussed here (on the talk page).   You've removed the fundraising/DeLay information 4 times without comment in the last 2 days.  Along the way, in the first three reverts you apparently violated the Three-Revert Rule, and the other edits you added twice were Copyright Violations (cut and pasted from Gerlach's campaign page) and also (as mentioned above) probably not appropriate or normal for a politician's bio page.   As for the information you've removed 4 times:  that information on DeLay and ARMPAC has been here since last December; the only significant change is that Gerlach's response (that he'd return it if DeLay is convicted) was added and cited.  Note that the money was actually from ARMPAC, not DeLay himself, and ARMPAC this summer paid a large fine over the issue and disbanded.  The information was certainly not taken from any ad; it long predates the ad currently being run.  It's confirmed, cited, verifiable information, with statements on the issue from both sides, presented in an NPOV manner.  There's no mention of his giving money to DeLay's defense fund, though that would be a reasonable possibility here (which I considered), nor that most other active ARMPAC recipients have returned the money.  I monitor this page, and if you look back on my editing record, I try to avoid partisan edits from either side (and have reverted pro-Murphy partisan edits on several occasions).   I suggest reading more on Wikipedia editing policies and experiment more and see how disputes are handled.  At this point, I'm leaning to re-add the DeLay text tomorrow and if need be call in dispute resolution.  Lastly, it's "Jesup".  :-) --- jesup 01:24, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Ok, after a cooling-off time, re-added the Fundraising section. If you want to remove it, please justify it here first (perhaps in a new 'Fundraising' section).  If it's deleted without discussion for a 5th time, I plan to start Dispute Resolution.  A better choice if people feel it's too controversial would be to create a campaign page, similar to PA-7 (Pennsylvania 7th congressional district election, 2006).  That might be a good idea anyways.

Jesup stop your Partisan entries
Jesup should know that the Fundraising entry is pure partisan rhetoric that is taken straight from the attack ads of Congressman Gerlach's opponent. I suspect that Jesup is someone working for Lois Murphy's campaign. There is no other reasonable explanation for why Jesup is so adamant about including negative attack ad info on what is supposed to be a neutral non-partisan page. Hopefully, Jesup will stop engaging in such attacks and leave the Gerlach Bio Page be.

Dan

 * As mentioned before, you can sign your edits with four tildes (~). The first part of "Fundraising" was a link to a non-partisan political financial reporting site.  The statement about sources is true, though I'd entertain removing it if you were to discuss the issue.  The second part (if you read the discussion above) is not taken from any ad.  As the history here shows, the text about DeLay predates any ads about the subject by at least six or seven months.  It's factual, includes the response, with citations, and has 'baked' here for close to 10 months.  If you read the information above, you will see that I disclosed months ago (when deleting pro-Murphy vandalism) that I'm a supporter of Murphy.  I monitor and occasionally work to expand both the Murphy page and this page, and I try to do so in a NPOV manner.  I've deleted vandalism, biased (anti-Gerlach and pro-Gerlach) information here on multiple occasions. I do think it may make sense to create a 6th-District Campaign race for information like this, though the fact that he took money from DeLay's PAC extends back to his first federal race, and he was one of the largest recipients, and one of the few not to return/donate it. I asked multiple times for you to discuss things here before repeating your deletes, and you have for the 5th time deleted it without discussion first.  I'm going to ask for dispute resolution to try to resolve this.  jesup 02:29, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Note: 71.225.68.43 and 71.225.69.95 (aka 'Dan') are apparently the same user given their comments (Comcast DHCP address). jesup 02:33, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Jesup False Copyright Claim
Jesup has falsely accused me twice of a copyright violation. According to Jesup, I took a statement concerning endorsements from a Gerlach Webpage and added it to the Gerlach Wikipedia Bio. Jesup has no basis for this erroneous claim. The statement in question was: "Numerous fire fighter, law enforcement, humanitarian and labor organizations have endorsed Congressman Jime Gerlach in 2006. Among the groups that have publicly announced their support for Jim Gerlach are: ....[names of various labor groups, etc.]." This statement is my own work product and I defy Jesup to find that statement on any Gerlach Webpage.

In addition to making up copyright violation claims, Jesup also feigns false piety by claiming that endorsements have no place on a Bio page because, Bio pages are supposed to be non-partisan and neutral. Jesup, however, has no problem repeatedly adding a negative statement on the Gerlach Bio Page concerning Fundraising. This Fundraising statement is based on a claim that appears in attack ads aired by Congressman Gerlach's opponent.

I fail to see how listing the names of groups that have come out and publicly endorsed a candidate can be deemed partian and inappropriate for a Bio page, but making a negative statement about one of the candidate's fundraising sources is not. Jesup can't have it both ways.

So if Jesup truly seeks to achieve the spirit of non-partisan objectivity on this Bio Page, then Jesup should leave out the partisan fundraising statements.

Dan

 * Dan
 * The copyvio portion of your edit was the cut-and-pasted list of groups, not the statement that preceded it. I compared it to the list on Gerlach's campaign page, and it was identical to Gerlach's endorsement list (including the order and wording).  Note: since then several more endorsements have been added.  If you didn't cut-and-paste it, I'm sorry, but it seems unlikely the exact wording and order would occur otherwise.  (Where did you get the list from if not there?) Before deleting the list of endorsements, I surveyed other politician's bio pages; I couldn't find any that list endorsements, even far more extensive and higher profile.  That isn't to say they might not exist, but they probably don't belong in a bio.  You could make an argument for including them (for both sides) on a Campaign page, which I'm considering creating (similar to how one was created for the 7th district (Weldon-Sestak)). The second time I deleted it you had messed up the page (broken formatting, etc), and you had refused (or didn't know how to) discuss the issue.  jesup 02:29, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Third opinion
Hi!

I hail from WP:3O. I noticed you're having a bit of a dispute.

I took a look at the article history and the section in question (fundraising), which was removed again today. The fundraising section appears to be well-sourced and is about a notable event in Mr. Gerlach's 2006 campaign. Therefore, I would point Dan to several policies:

 * WP:NPOV - all sides of an issue or person must be described in relevant articles, even if they're unflattering: hence the reason Mel Gibson's article has a section about his drunk driving.
 * WP:V - everything in an article must be verifiable by WP:RS. If a section is verifiable and relevant as well as important to the article, it should not be removed.  This constitutes vandalism and "POV-pushing."

If you believe that the sources used in the fundraising section of the article are not reliable, please leave me a message here or on my talk page and I'll take a closer look. My first and second impressions, however, are that they are in fact reliable. If they are not (as a neutral third party, I will investigate any concerns), they can be replaced by more reliable sources. In this case, the task of finding more reliable sources will be Jesup's responsibility.  Srose  (talk)  15:55, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks. I am trying very hard to be considerate to Dan, who is a new editor here it appears.  I will be restoring the fundraising section for now.  Dan, if you still object, please discuss this with  Srose  (talk)  and if you think there's still a case for removal, rewording or refining the citations, please make it here and we'll discuss it.  I may still look to create a 6th District Campaign page, in which case it would move there.  jesup 18:04, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Jessup - I would encourage you to create an election article. See Category:United States House of Representatives elections by state for a list of others, you may want to pick a good one as a template. More on topic (re: PAC contributions), what I, as a reader, would want to know is this: what does the assertion that The majority (53%) of Gerlach's fundraising has come from PACs mean? Is that a lot, or a little? What proportion does his opponent have? I.e., context. (In fact, one might argue that without context, it is POV, despite been factual). Good luck. -- Sholom 18:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I'll probably look at the 7th, thanks. As for PACs, you have a good point - more context would help.  (Note that there is some context already, in that the DeLay thing is also related to PACs, but that's not strong enough a connection).  I edited it to provide a bit more context and a neutralizing comment on incumbents (for which I need to dig up a reference (I've seen it before), which may well also be on opensecrets).  (Note how Sholom presented an issue of possible POV here and got it addressed.) jesup 19:47, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Jesup: Get Thee to a Wikipedia Campaign Page
Your Fundraising Section is really going too far in violating the neutrality requirements of what is supposed to be an unbiased, non-partisan Bio Page. I have tried to get you to keep this Murphy campaign rhetoric off this page for 2 weeks now, but for some reason you refuse to do so.

 * You would have had a far stronger argument had you in fact started by saying that you thought it was biased and given reasons, as opposed to deleting the information 5 times in a row (including a three-revert violation). And now a 6th deletion.  jesup 04:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

You keep saying that perhaps you should place this info on a Lois Murphy Wikipedia campaign page. I am in complete agreement with that notion and wish you would go ahead and do so and leave this Bio Page alone, because your Fundraising Section is partisan on several levels:

 * I have not suggested creating a "Lois Murphy Campaign page". I have suggested creating a 6th District Campaign page.  jesup 04:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

(1)	False Information: You claim that Gerlach received $30,000 from ARMPAC for the 2006 Election. If you www.opensecrets.org/races/summary.asp?id=PA06&cycle=2006 you will see that he received $10,000 not $30,000 from ARMPAC.

 * I wasn't (I think) the one added the 2006 Election heading over that; I know for sure it wasn't there when the original text was added. The text did (does?) say "In his campaigns", meaning in multiple campaigns.  He has taken $10000 for 2006, $10000 for 2004, and $10000 for (I think) 2002.  That sentence long predated the 2006 Campaign heading; it could be modified to break out the amounts.  The money is an issue in the 2006 campaign. jesup 04:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

(2)	Opposing Party Campaign Rhetoric: You include a sentence stating that “Lois Murphy and other Democrats have called on Gerlach to return the money.”  Murphy’s demand that the money be returned is a campaign stunt for her attack ads. Including Murphy’s demand in the Bio Page of her opponent constitutes injecting her campaign rhetoric into what is supposed to be a nonpartisan Bio.

 * The sentence is factually true; in fact, modifying it to remove the mention of Murphy or Democrats would be deceptive and incorrectly indicate that the calls for return of the money were coming from non-partisan sources.  As the 3rd Opinion here indicated, it's supported by WP:RS (Reliable Sources) and is relevant.  jesup 04:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

(3)	Relevance: James Gerlach has raised $2,865,469 for his 2006 Race. This money comes from multiple sources. Yet, for some reason, you feel it necessary to place an entire section in Gerlach’s Bio about a single $10,000 contribution. This contribution equates to ONE THIRD OF 1% of what Gerlach has raised. How is such a miniscule contribution relevant information? Its not. The only reason why you would include it is to try to tarnish Jim Gerlach

 * It's relevant because it's an issue in the campaign. It was sufficiently newsworthy that it was mentioned in multiple news sources and major-city newspapers after DeLay was indicted.  This is supported by the fact that Gerlach's response merited mention in newspapers.  That pretty much covers the requirement for it to be a "noteworthy" fact.  I surveyed all the other ARMPAC recipients who have wikipedia pages (that I could find).  Roughly 80% of them mention the ARMPAC donation, often in more detail, even if there is a campaign page for their next race.  jesup 04:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

(4)	False Perceptions: Your Fundraising Statement creates the false perception that: (a) Jim Gerlach is somehow involved in the charges that have been leveled against Tom Delay; (b) that Jim Gerlach is somehow required to return the contribution from ARMPAC; and, (c) that Jim Gerlach violated the law by receiving the ARMPAC contribution.

 * The money came from a PAC that apparently obtained its money through illegal donations, and a number of people associated with it have been indicted and/or pled guilty of money laundering. That severely taints any money received.  Gerlach has not broken the law (unless he knew the money was obtained illegally, and there's no indication he did), but the "normal" thing to do is to return/donate it.  He recognizes that apparently, in that he said he'd return it if DeLay was found guilty, which also validates this as an issue.  However, the money did not come from DeLay directly - it came from his PAC, which in response to the investigation paid a 6-figure fine and disbanded.  Whether DeLay himself conspired to launder the money or whether subordinates did it on their own is a separate issue.  jesup 04:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Your recent addition of a section comparing the percentage of PAC contributions received by Gerlach and Murphy is only further partisan electioneering on your part.

With only 3 weeks until the Election, I ask that you please stop adding this Partisan nonsense to Congressman Gerlach’s Bio Page.

If you want it to appear on Wikipedia, then create a campaign page for Lois Murphy and put it there.

 * If you believe the correct thing is to create a biased campaign page, you really don't understand WP:NPOV. Biased POV pages (in any direction) are what websites are for, not Wikipedia.  jesup 04:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Jesup, so you finally admit that the Fundraising Entry is Biased and does not belong on Wikipedia. Since we appear to be in agreement, I ask that you stop adding it to the Gerlach Bio Page.

Thanks

Dan

Dan

 * Did you discuss this issue with Srose?
 * I see you reverted the text for the 6th time, in opposition of the WP:3O opinion.
 * In any case, it probably does make sense to create a district campaign page like the 7th has, as I'd said. I'm working on it.
 * I do suggest you check out various other politician's wiki pages though. Check out DeLay's.  Or Mike DeWine's.  Or Geoff Davis (another ARMPAC recipient).  Politician bios are not criticism-free zones; politics makes that impossible.  Criticism is often presented, though (as here) it often includes their side of the story.  I again note that roughly 80% of ARMPAC recipient bios note calls from Democrats for them to return/donate the money.  jesup 04:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Jesup: Doesn't it strike you a bit odd that 80% of all ARMPAC recipient Bios contain statements from Democrats calling for them to return/donate the money? This indicates a concerted Partisan effort on the part of the Democrats to inject their campaign rhetoric into the Bio pages of their Congressional opponents. As for your "Bios are not criticism-free" argument, I take it you would have no problem with someone adding a Section to the Lois Murphy Bio Page entitled "Positions on Issues", along with a statement saying that "Gerlach and many Republicans have criticized Murphy for her opposition to a Bill that included funding to purchase Body Armor for our troops." I would not include such a Section in her Bio because I at least can recognize when something is partisan and thus not appropriate for inclusion in a Bio Page. You, however, are somehow incapable of understanding this.

Dan

 * Sigh. My pointing it out was not to show there's some deep, democratic conspiracy to put things on Wiki bios.  My point was:
 * a) Calls to return the money have been made (by Democrats) in most if not all races affected.
 * b) Since there are MANY editors overseeing those pages, the assumption is that the editors feel it is noteworthy and properly sourced (like this page until you started removing it repeatedly). I should note that like this page, many have some sort of response to the request.  Also, most have had those entries since shortly after DeLay was indicted.
 * c) Criticism is ok on all politician bio pages, including Murphy's, but it must be properly sourced and NPOV. Including that on the Lois Murphy page would be reasonable, but it would need to be NPOV, and thus would have to include an objective analysis of the issue and/or response.  In this case, the body armor ad by the NRCC was pulled by Comcast for being deceptive; Murphy was criticising Gerlach for voting for a bill that authorized drilling in ANWR after he had said he would protect it.
 * d) If you think this page is critical of Gerlach, go read Curt Weldon's bio, or Tom DeLay's, or most other congresspeople.
 * jesup 06:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi again, Dan. From what I can gather, the only change you seem to want is the specification that yes, Gerlach has received $30,000, but only $10,000 of that is in this campaign.  Noteworthy criticism has its place on the articles of any living person, whether it be Stephen King, George Bush or Saddam Hussein.  If you can include NPOV, properly sourced criticism in Murphy's article, you are encouraged to do so.  There is no conspiracy on Wikipedia.  This encyclopedia is edited by hundreds of thousands of people from countries as diverse as Japan, Estonia, the US and Iraq.  It'd be pretty hard to get all of those people to agree to make a certain party look horrible.  I again invite you to leave a message on my talk page if I can be of further service.  Srose   (talk)  17:59, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Srose: You seem to ignore my other points, beyond the fact that the sum was $10k v. $30k. We don't even need to discuss your statement that "note worthy criticism has its place on articles" because singling out a contribution that represents ONE THIRD OF ONE PERCENT of a candidiate's campaign funding is focusing on something that is not noteworthy at all. The only reason why the Democrats keep trying to highlight that insignificant fundraising source is to try to inject inappropriate partisan campaign rhetoric into what is supposed to be an impartial Bio page.

Dan

 * I must correct you, Dan. If Lois Murphy is making a public issue out of the $10,000, as she quite clearly is, it is a noteworthy issue.  As Jesup has told you multiple times, this $10,000 is a big issue in the campaign and has been noted by major news networks.  Additionally, I did in fact read through all of your messages.  Some of them are rather off-base.  Accusing Jesup of political motives is not helpful in this debate.  Telling Jesup to create a biased article for his information is completely against Wikipedia policy.  Additionally, it doesn't matter if it's 2 weeks until election time: Wikipedia presents a balanced picture of every candidate, which includes the positive and the negative.  That is why many politicians have edited their entries or their friends' entries on this encyclopedia.  It doesn't work: we have policy in place to preserve neutrality.  I realize that you do not like the negative aspects of Jim's biography.  However, they must be there, if this is to be a fair and balanced article.  I will reiterate: the $10,000 scandal attracted considerable press attention.  Therefore, it is noteworthy.
 * I would also like to point out that you need to sign your name with four tildes (~ is a tilde) rather than signing your first name. That way, things are timestamped and editors do not have to go through the article history to see when you made a comment.  If you want to use your name as your signature, please get an account (click on the words Log in/Register in the top right corner of this screen).
 * If you cannot work to a resolution or disagree with my outside opinion, you must progress to the next stage of dispute resolution: either the mediation cabal or a Request for Comment.  Srose  (talk)  17:49, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

2006 Campaign page created
As you can see, the campaign page has been created (I was getting sleepy by the end, and John Broughton has added some helpful edits, both here and on the Murphy page). I'll be continuing to update stuff here in the aftermath of the split. Note that there will still be a 2006 Campaign heading and a brief description of the campaign there. I will probably re-add the information on DeLay, but probably not under the 2006 Campaign section - I'll probably create a separate section (as it is in many but not all other ARMPAC beneficiaries). jesup 21:01, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Well?
Did he win? Last I looked it was extremely close. --71.224.19.29 17:05, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Early career
I dispute the factual basis of Gerlach's early career because I interned for him back in 1992 while I was in high school, and I distinctly remember that he worked for Lamb, Windle, McErlane in West Chester, Pa., prior to his 1990 election against fmr. State Rep. Sam Morris.--FidesetRatio 22:14, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, find a WP:RS that states so and make the edit. You could just make the edit if you're pretty sure it's independently verifiable, but if challenged you'll need to back it up.  Note that the current early career isn't .  There are actually better ways to cite paper articles with, but I don't know them off-the-cuff.  jesup 23:01, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oops - include the article title as well, and source (microfilm). jesup 23:02, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If you wouldn't mind, I have the citation posted on the main page, could you reformat the Mike Rellahan article for me so it is Wikified.

Thanks.--FidesetRatio 01:06, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The Jim Gerlach I knew 15 years ago was a staunch environmentalist whose thinking impressed upon my 17-year-old brain. His stance for preserving open space in Chester County is under-recognized now that he's a congressman. I knew him better when he was a state legislator, but I really haven't talked to him much in several years.--FidesetRatio 22:55, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * In the televised debate, Lois Murphy praised his work in the PA Senate on Open Space; one of the few questions where they did (of course, most questions were oriented at things that were campaign issues). Of course, no one saw it... jesup 23:01, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If it wasn't for Jim Gerlach's work Pennsylvania municipalities would have a much harder time preserving open space because his work made it easier for townships to work together. I'm not saying this as a partisan, but as someone who works closely with Chester County municipalities. I have serious differences with my old acquaintance.--FidesetRatio 00:46, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Gerlach's opposition to eminent domain
The anonymous editor's addition of uncited material about eminent domain in Ardmore clearly had a marginal impact on the election, considering Murphy trounced Gerlach in the Montgomery County portion of the district. Eminent domain in Ardmore had no impact in Chester, Berks or Lehigh counties. Additionally, mentioning that Jim Gerlach loosened his tie at an event is irrelevant. --FidesetRatio 21:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed (you beat me to adding a comment). That issue could end up in there if he's made it a significant position, backed up by WP:RS.  As for the election, I haven't seen a WP:RS that said it was a major factor.  Eminent domain is an issue in Ardmore from what I know, but I'm don't think it reaches a level for inclusion in a bio.  If it was significant in the campaign, it should go there, probably not in the bio, unless he does something significant about it at the federal level (which means more than just introduce a bill).  As for tie-loosening... not appropriate, I agree.  :-)  jesup 21:26, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It's about as relevant as including Gerlach's arguing with me over how great the first George Bush was or how the Penguins would beat the Chicago Blackhawks in the 1992 Stanley Cup. LOL--FidesetRatio 21:54, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

2006 campaign page name
Note that John changed the name of the 2006 campaign page to be lower-case to match all the other 2006 campaign pages. So currently the Main article link hits a redirect. jesup 05:47, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Updating Page
Deleted outdated material. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.225.108.129 (talk) 02:41, 2 April 2007 (UTC).

No Military Service
I removed a edit that stated "His biographies show no record of military service." Is his military service, or lack thereof in dispute? If it is, we need a reference. If not, I don't see the purpose of this oddly worded line. It is like saying, "his biographies show no record of spousal abuse", or "his biographies show no record of his conversion to Buddhism". There is no record because the thing didn't happen, and wouldn't necessarily be expected to happen. Npeters22 (talk) 18:13, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

AGM-78 Standard ARM

The AGM-78 Standard ARM or STARM was an anti-radiation missile developed by General Dynamics, United States. It was built on the airframe of the RIM-66 Standard surface-to-air missile, resulting in a very large weapon with considerable range, allowing it to attack targets as much as 50 miles away.

Overview
Originally developed for the US Navy during the late 1960s, the AGM-78 was created in large part because of the limitations of the AGM-45 Shrike, which suffered from a small warhead, limited range and a poor guidance system. General Dynamics was asked to create an air-launched ARM by modifying the RIM-66 SM-1 surface-to-air missile. This use of an "off the shelf" design greatly reduced development costs, and trials of the new weapon began in 1967 after only a year of development. The first operational missiles were issued in early 1968.

The AGM-78 was known as the STARM by the U.S. Navy, an abbreviation of Standard ARM. The first version of the missile, the AGM-78A-1 or STARM Mod 0, was little more than an air-launched RIM-66 with the Shrike's anti radar seeker head attached to the front. An Aerojet Mark 27 MOD 4 dual-thrust solid-rocket-powered the missile, which was fitted with a blast-fragmentation warhead. Although more capable, the AGM-78 was much more expensive than the AGM-45 Shrike which continued in service for some time. The new missile was carried by the F-105F/G and the A-6B/E.

Variants

An inert training version of the AGM-78A was built as ATM-78A. Of equal size, mass and shape, the missile lacked a seeker head, warhead, or propulsion systems and was essentially just a dead weight.

An A-2 model introduced a bomb damage assessment (BDA) capability and an SDU-6/B phosphorus target marker flare to facilitate targeting of the site for follow-up attacks.

In 1969 an improved model called the AGM-78B was produced. This featured a broadband seeker which allowed the missile to be used against a much wider variety of targets without having to select the seeker before the mission. A simple memory circuit was also included, allowing the missile to attack a target once it locked on, even if the radar was shut down. Previous ARMs would veer off course and miss when they lost a target, and as a result flipping the radar on and off had become a standard tactic for missile batteries.

Some early AGM-78A-1s were updated with the new memory circuit and seeker. These missiles were designated as the AGM-78A-4. The AGM-78B was the most important version of the missile, and was widely used by the Air Force's F-4G Phantom II Wild Weasel aircraft.

A training version of the AGM-78B was created, and was known as the ATM-78B.

In the early 1970s the AGM-78C was produced. A US Air Force project, the C model was primarily intended to be more reliable and cheaper to build. It had a SDU-29/B white phosphorus target marker. Some older missiles were upgraded to the AGM-78C standard. As before, an ATM-78C training missile was produced.

Between 1973 and 1976 the AGM-78D was produced, introducing a new motor. A follow-up missile, the AGM-78D-2, had an active optical fuze, still greater reliability, and a new 100 kg blast-fragmentation warhead. The ATM-78D training missile followed.

The RGM-66D shipborne anti-radiation missile used the basic AGM-78 airframe along with features of the RIM-66 and AIM-97 Seekbat air-to-air missile.

Including all versions, over 3,000 AGM-78 missiles were built. Production stopped in the late 1970s, but the missile continued in service for almost a decade before the last examples were replaced by the AGM-88 HARM in the late 1980s.

Talk:Watergate Seven

Charges vs. Convictions
Someone much more knowledgeable about Watergate than I should weigh in here, but Kenneth Parkinson was the only member of the Watergate Seven to be ACQUITTED. He did not therefore serve any prison time, nor was he subject to any fines. Given this rather glaring factual inaccuracy, there may well be other factual inaccuracies in this article as well. But given that I'm not a scholar of Watergate, I will not make this change.
 * While I would not go so far as to say that this is a factual inaccuracy, it does not seem to be useful to report the maximum penalty that the individuals could have faced if convicted and sentenced. It would seem more relevant to explain the disposition of the case, including the quashing of Mardian's conviction on appeal and the dropping of charges against Strachan. Dpv 12:28, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Colson's charge
It's an interesting detail that Colson's charge actually was created by Colson and his lawyers because while he considered himself innocent of the charges filed against him, he came to the conclusion that in attempting to smear Ellsberg in the build-up to a trial, he had done something that, if not actually illegal, should be illegal. I will look up the pages from Born Again, his account of Watergate and his religious conversion, but also try to find sources not written by Colson.Lawikitejana (talk) 17:43, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Pleaded, pled, or plead
It used to be that Chuck Colson, "pleaded" guilty, but now it seems he "plead". A quick Google around suggests that in order of preference and frequency of use, the ranking (most to least) for the past participle of the verb "to plead" is: pleaded, pled, plead. That suggests the most recent change should be reverted, or at least changed to "pled". The "plead" form is least accepted, and is regarded as simply an error by many. Personally I don't care, but I did the googling work so I thought I'd write it up :-) 2605:6000:F343:F300:A58E:392C:FF0B:A840 (talk) 15:11, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Kenneth Parkinson
OK folks, which is it? Conflicting information in this entry, and I don't know why or which is right. Or are both statements right and the word "Although" does not belong here? Or maybe that whole sentence doesn't belong here? "Kennety Parkinson - counsel for the Committee to Re-elect the President; faced 10 years in prison and $10,000 in fines. He was acquitted at trial. Although Parkinson was a lawyer, G. Gordon Liddy was in fact counsel for the Committee to Re-elect the President." Jeisenberg (talk) 17:24, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Spellbound Dizzy

Spellbound Dizzy or Dizzy 5 is an adventure video game, featuring the character Dizzy, released in November 1991 by Codemasters. The series was originally developed by the Oliver twins but they had little involvement with this title other than executive sign-off, leaving Big Red Software to redesign the graphics engine and design the game and puzzles.

The game is the fifth in the Dizzy series, excluding arcade spin-offs such as Kwik Snax and had the largest map of any Dizzy game to date with 108 screens. Consequently, it is by far longer and more difficult than any other game in the series. The gameplay is also complicated by the fact that Dizzy loses health when falling from heights (a feature which was removed from subsequent games). This level of difficulty made many players cheat by using patches giving Dizzy unlimited lives.

The game also presents slightly different user interface, graphics and concepts that never occurred earlier or later in the series: an inventory with items icons, separated collection (stars) and healing (apples) items (in other games they are always '2 in 1'), hidden passages and dynamic animated set pieces (the travel tunnels, the mining cart, etc.) There are additional animations and abilities, such as swimming and eating.

The Spectrum version of the game, like all the titles since Dizzy 3, has both 48k and 128k versions packaged. The 128k version features richer graphics and animation, extended dialogue and a background music track.

Spellbound Dizzy Lite
The release of the Commodore 64 version of Dizzy's Excellent Adventures (a compilation featuring five games) comes with a significantly reduced version of the game, with many bugs. The complete version of the game was later released for the computer. The release for other platforms is the same in both releases.

Reception
The ZX Spectrum version was voted number 18 in the Your Sinclair Readers' Top 100 Games of All Time.

"Next Best Superstar" was released as the album's lead single on 4 April 2005. The song peaked at number ten on the UK Singles Chart and reached the top forty of the majority of all charts it appeared on, also becoming a top ten hit in Belgium, Italy and Scotland. An accompanying music video was Norwegian director by Ray Kay.

Music video
The video was directed by Ray Kay in January 2005. The video begins with Melanie C getting ready for her performance. After having done make-up, she starts performing by herself. After the performance, she gets her make-up done again and starts performing again, this time with her band. The video premiered on CD:UK on 26 February 2005.

Air Route Surveillance Radar

The Air Route Surveillance Radar is a long-range radar system. It is used by the United States Air Force and the Federal Aviation Administration to control airspace within and around the borders of the United States.

The ARSR-4 is the FAA's most recent (late 1980s, early 1990s) addition to the "Long Range" series of radars. It is a solid state Westinghouse system with a 250 nmi range. The ARSR-4 features a "look down" capability that enables the radar to detect aircraft attempting to elude detection by flying at low altitudes, advanced clutter reduction via hardware and software post-processing, and enhanced poor-weather object detection. A beacon system, the ATCBI-6M (a monopulse system), is installed along with each ARSR-4. However, since the ARSR-4 has 3D capabilities, it can determine altitude independently of its associated beacon (albeit less accurately).

ARSR-4 systems are installed along the borders and coastal areas of the contiguous United States, Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba, the municipality of Yigo on Guam, and a training site at the FAA's Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City. They are generally unmanned, and are equipped with remote monitoring of both the radar data and the status of the radar's health and environment. It has expanded to additional sites throughout the entire contiguous US (or CONUS).

History
Raytheon introduced ARSR-1 in 1958 operating in the L-band. At that time it had a maximum range of 200 mi. ARSR-2 was developed in the 1960s, also with a 200-mile range. From a user perspective, the ARSR-1 and ARSR-2 function nearly identically. Components that had proved troublesome in the ARSR-1 were redesigned in order to improve reliability. Existing ARSR-1 systems were retrofitted with the more reliable ARSR-2 components. All ARSR-1/2 systems have been upgraded with modern Common ARSR systems (CARSR).

Vacuum tubes were still in use nationwide prior to the upgrade.

All ARSR-1/2s were replaced by Common ARSR by the end of 2015. CARSR has a 200 nmi range, and shares transmitter components and software with the FAA's new airport surveillance radar, the ASR-11. Like the ASR-11, CARSR is completely solid state.

Westinghouse built ARSR-3. ARSR-3 and 3D search radar were used by the FAA in the Joint Surveillance System (JSS). The radar operated in the L-band at 1250 to 1350 MHz and detected targets at distances beyond 240 mi. The D model had height-finder capability.

Westinghouse also built ARSR-4 3-D air surveillance radar in the 1990s for the JSS. By the late 1990s, this radar had replaced most of the 1960s-vintage AN/FPS-20 variant search radars and a number of ARSR-3 search radars under the "FAA/Air Force Radar Replacement" (FARR) program.

List of South African flags

This article lists the flags of the various colonies and states that have existed in South Africa since 1652, as well as other flags pertaining to South Africa, including governmental, military, police and provincial flags.

Overview
The following flags have been used as the national flag of the Union of South Africa and the Republic of South Africa:

Historical flags (1652–1928)

 * Many flags were used in South Africa prior to political unification in 1910.
 * The original Dutch East India Company colony at the Cape of Good Hope (1652–1795) flew the Dutch flag, with the VOC logo in the centre. This flag was also flown during the period of Batavian Republic rule (1803–06).
 * The Boer Republics, i.e. the Orange Free State (1854–1902), the South African Republic (1857–1902), Stellaland (1882–85), Goshen (1883–85), the Nieuwe Republiek (1884–88), and the Klein Vrystaat (1886–1891) had their own flags. Several derived from the Dutch flag.
 * The British colonies that existed in the 19th century flew the British flags, and from the early 1870s some, i.e. Natal, Cape Colony, and later the Orange River Colony and the Transvaal, added their own colonial flag badges.
 * The Union of South Africa, formed in 1910, initially used a red ensign defaced with a badge depicting the Union coat of arms. The first South African national flag, introduced in 1928, superseded it.

National flags (1928–1994)

 * The Hertzog administration introduced the flag after several years of political controversy. Approved by Parliament in 1927, it was first hoisted on 31 May 1928.
 * The flag reflected the Union's predecessors. The basis was the Prince's Flag (royal tricolour) of the Netherlands, with the addition of a Union Jack to represent the Cape and Natal, the former Orange Free state flag, and the former South African Republic flag.
 * Until 1957, the flag was flown subordinate to the British Union Jack.
 * The flag remained unchanged when South Africa became a republic on 31 May 1961.

Homeland flags (1966–1994)

 * Nine of the ten Black 'homelands' which were created inside South African Federation under the apartheid system, had their own flags, i.e. Transkei (1966–94), Bophuthatswana (1973–94), Ciskei (1973–94), Gazankulu (1973–94), Venda (1973–94), Lebowa (1974–94), QwaQwa (1975–94), KwaZulu (1977–94), and KwaNdebele (1982–94). KaNgwane was the only homeland that never adopted its own distinctive flag, instead using the national flag of South Africa.
 * All these flags became obsolete when South Africa reincorporated the homelands on 27 April 1994.

Sporting flags (1992–1994)
As a result of the sporting boycott of South Africa over its policy of apartheid, South Africa did not participate in the Olympic Games between 1964 and 1988. The country was re-admitted to the Olympic movement in 1991. As a result of a dispute over what flag and national anthem to use following readmission, the team participated in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games under the National Olympic Committee flag. The flag consisted of a white field charged with grey diamond, which represented the countries mineral wealth, three cascading bands of blue, red and green, which represented the sea, the land and agriculture respectively and the Olympic rings. This flag was also used to represent the South African team at the 1992 Summer Paralympics. Team uniforms included the emblem of Olympic Committee of South Africa, which depicted Olympic rings surrounded by olive branches, with the name of the country above. The team would use Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" as its victory anthem at these games. At the 1994 Winter Games, South Africa participated under the flag of its Olympic committee.

National flag (1994–present)

 * South Africa was reconstituted as a unitary democratic state, with equal rights for men and women of all races in 1994. The old flag's long association with the apartheid era made it unacceptable for the new dispensation, and the State Herald, Frederick Brownell therefore designed a new flag. Approved by the Transitional Executive Council (TEC) on 20 March 1994, and officially authorised by state president F. W. de Klerk on 20 April 1994, it was officially hoisted a week later, on 27 April 1994.
 * The new flag was intended as an interim measure, but it proved so popular that when the final Constitution was prepared in 1996, it became the permanent flag.

1910–1994
Between 1910 and 1994, South Africa was divided into four provinces, Cape Province, Natal, Orange Free State and Transvaal. These provinces had their own coat of arms but not their own flags.

1994–present
In April 1994, South Africa was divided into nine provinces. Each province was granted a coat of arms, in most cases designed by State Herald Frederick Brownell. Currently only one province, Mpumalanga, has adopted an official provincial flag, doing so in February 1996. The other eight provinces can be represented by white banners charged with their coats of arms.

Flags from the 1925/1926 Public Flag Competition
The government of South Africa opened a competition open to the public. While the "Walker Flag" had some support, ultimately none of the designs were chosen.

Flags from the 1927 Flag Commission
In 1927, the government set up a flag commission, which came up with three designs, the "Cross Flags". Due to the opposition insisting on the Union Jack being featured, the commission created three more designs at the Flag Conference in April and May of 1927.

Flags put forward in 1927 by SAP, Government, and Senate
In June of 1927, the South African Party proposed a flag with four elements divided by a white cross, and the government proposed a version with a shield defacing the Prinsenvlag. The Senate then combined elements from both into a third proposal. Finally, in October of 1927, a compromise was reached and the Flag of South Africa (1928–1994) was introduced.

Flags proposed in the 1960s
In the 1960s, there was pressure to change the flag, particularly from Afrikaners who resented the fact that the Union Flag was a part of the flag. The then prime minister, Dr Hendrik Verwoerd, had his assistant secretary, HC Blatt, design a "clean" flag, comprising three vertical stripes of orange, white, and blue, with a leaping springbok over a wreath of six proteas in the centre, designed, but he was assassinated before he could introduce it, and the project died with him in 1966.

1992 Contest by the "Natal Witness"
The Natal Witness newspaper held a competition for a new flag design, which was won by Lalsingh Ramlukan with a design featuring four cupped hands and a blue dove.

Designs shortlisted by the Commission on National Symbols
The Commission on National Symbols proposed six designs in October 1993.

Designs Proposed Graphic design studios
A group of professional graphic design studios proposed several flag designs in November 1993.

Designs shortlisted by the Joint Technical Working Committee
The Joint Technical Working Committee shortlisted 5 designs in February 1994. A further design was proposed also by the African National Congress (ANC) based on a design shortlisted in October 1993. Proposal 4, designed by State Herald Frederick Brownell, was submitted to the Transitional Executive Council and approved as the final choice for the new flag.

Lower Bostraze and Leswidden SSSI

Lower Bostraze And Leswidden SSSI is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest, located on the Penwith Peninsula, Cornwall, England, a little to the east of St Just, approximately 8 km west of Penzance.

Geography
There are two discrete parts of this site – Lower Bostraze China Clay Works and Leswidden Block Works; together they are 23,000 m2 in size. Lower Bostraze is located at, and Leswidden at. The site was notified as an SSSI in 1996. The site lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Penwith Heritage Coast and is partly within the West Penwith Environmentally Sensitive Area. The site has also been designated a Special Area of Conservation.

Both parts of the site are underlain by the Land's End granite, part of the Cornubian batholith. Zones within the granite, altered by kaolinisation, have been extensively worked for china clay until recent years. China clay was discovered in the Balleswidden sett in 1880 and both areas are located within disused china clay workings, consisting of pits, benches, spoil tips and granitic debris with sparse vegetation cover.

Wildlife and ecology
The site's SSSI status is due to the presence of important populations of a very rare liverwort, the Western Rustwort (Marsupella profunda). This species is rare in a British context (it is known from only two other locations in the UK: St Austell Clay Pits and Tregonning Hill, both within Cornwall). However, it is also internationally rare, being known only from Portugal, the Canary Islands, the Azores and Madeira; throughout this range it is a rare species. At Lower Bostraze and Leswidden, Western Rustwort is generally found growing on micaceous or clay waste substrates which are flat or gently sloping. Some patches occur on granitic rocks, usually where these are soft or crumbling. It appears to be a pioneer species, the largest populations being found on surfaces showing the early stages of colonisation by other bryophytes and by vascular plants.

The conservation charity Plantlife designated the St Just Moors, part of this SSSI, an Important Plant Area for the occurrence of Western Rustwort and the green algae desmids.

History
The china clay works at Leswidden started in 1886 or 1887 and were suspended in April, 1887 due to problems with water supply.

Toponymy
The meaning of Bostraze is "dwelling in a flat-bottomed valley". There is a place called Bostrase in the parish of St Hilary (with the same meaning). The meaning of Leswidden is "white / fair ruin".

Kingston Park

Kingston Park is a suburb of Newcastle upon Tyne, about 4 mi north west of the city centre.

It is home to several large retailers, the largest being one of Tesco's flagship stores—at 11,055 square metres (119,000 sq ft) which was also the largest supermarket in the United Kingdom for one period of time. Kingston Park is served by Kingston Park station on the Tyne and Wear Metro.

History
The area was largely built between the end of the 1970s and beginning of the 1980s. Its Metro station was not part of the original system, the area not having the required population density when the network was first planned. In the 2010s, the Newcastle Great Park development began to extend north from Kingston Park, with the Greenside Estate being located immediately north of Kingston Park Road.

The residential areas were originally named Kingston Park, Kenton Bank Foot, Tudor Grange and Ouseburn Park, although over time all of these have come to be known collectively as Kingston Park. Most of the housing to the south of Kingston Park Metro station was built by developers such as Leech and originally sold on a leasehold basis.

Some of the housing to the north of the station was built as council owned rented properties, although many were bought by tenants under the Government's right-to-buy scheme. Further housing development is planned on the fringes of Kingston Park at Kenton Bank Foot and Callerton, in areas once part of the Green Belt.

Shopping and business
Kingston Retail Park has a number of shops and the area has a Tesco store. The Airport Industrial Estate is also located in Kingston Park.

Kingston Park stadium
The area houses the Kingston Park Stadium, which is home to the Newcastle Falcons rugby union team, and also hosts the home football fixtures of Newcastle United's reserve team. The Falcons, then known as Newcastle Gosforth, moved into Kingston Park Stadium in 1990; prior to this, the site had been the Newcastle Chronicle and Journal Sports Ground.

Transport
Kingston Park also has a Tyne and Wear Metro station, with direct services to Newcastle Airport, Newcastle City Centre, Gateshead and Sunderland. It was opened on 15 September 1985, four years after the Metro line had begun service.

Schools
Kingston Park Primary School is based in Kingston Park. There are about 350 pupils from Nursery to Year 6. The majority of Year 6 pupils go up to Kenton School.

Youth groups
There are several youth groups in and around the area of Kingston Park. One such group is 733 (Newcastle Airport) Squadron of the Air Training Corps (ATC).

Health care
Kingston Park has medical practices, including The Park Medical Group, and dentists, including Kingston Park Advanced Dentistry.
