Talk:Pamela Joan Rogers

New Picture of Pam Rogers
I inserted a new picture of Pam. The old one was poorly cropped - somebody's nose was sticking out on the right side of the picture. David Cruise 04:21, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

SEXY!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.223.234.227 (talk) 03:05, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Sentence
Can they really restrict her right to give interviews? Seems something along those lines would be illegal. Hempeater 09:12, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * She's a criminal. A HOT criminal, but still, a criminal. Criminals have practically no rights. Donmega60645 16:08, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Heh, she's only a criminal because the law, written to protect girls in the first place, gets tangled up with the progressive views on sexual equality. The result is clearly ridiculous. Time to re-evaluate the initial assumptions?69.107.89.219 05:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.107.89.219 (talk) 05:08, 8 March 2007 (UTC).
 * If it was a part of her plea agreement (that is, her HOT plea agreement), then it would be a restriction she agreed to willingly. Pleas in such HOT cases frequently prohibit defendants from profiting from their notoriety (cf, the Carolina Pathers lesbian cheerleader bar fight). 75.22.194.152 19:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Criticism
Is the criticism section really relevant? It does not seem that a local DJ in another city and state pointing out that the rape would not be forcible constitutes real criticism. Also, based on the info. it appears this is a comedy oriented show so the "criticism" is probably not meant to be serious.66.72.215.225
 * I've removed it. The argument itself is more suited to the article on statutory rape.--Nonpareility 03:53, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually I envy the boy :)) --Brand спойт 17:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

No image
Article needs an image. --Margrave1206 23:53, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It appears there was one, and it was deleted because of uncertain copyright status. Perhaps find a fair use image and upload it.--Crossmr 17:56, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

 * If ever an article was SCREAMING for a picture... :P - AbstractClass 07:15, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Relationship???
I feel it is irresponsible journalism and grossly incorrect to say that this woman had a "3-month relationship with a teenage boy."

This is sexual battery, statutory rape, and sick!

If I as a 30 year-old man had manipulated a teenage student of mine into sexual immorality and sent her dirty text messages, graphic videos of myself dancing in a thong, ect. Would you call that a "relationship" or would I be a sexual predator?

THAT IS NOT A RELATIONSHIP!

Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.111.61.230 (talk) 06:21, 21 January 2007 (UTC).
 * When two people interact with each other in any way, that is a "relationship". Personal distaste for the basis of it does not change that fact. Though if you have a wording suggestion that is both accurate and non-judgemental, please feel welcome to change it. Danthemankhan 18:12, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, UNSIGNED user, I do also find your opinion to be too biased and unfair. A good and fair relationship is arbitrarily deemed by each and every individuals points of view. Age and gender of the persons involved in "relationships" seemed to be shaped by certain societies' stereotypical and/or ideal image of what the "relationships" should be deemed to be as "OK". I mean a man in his 20s has LEGALLY married to a woman advanced in her 60s in the UK. (And I can assure you the man has NOT been threatened or coerced by the elderly lady to enter a legal marriage). Whatever circumstances has caused these two to form a union is no-one elses' business or decisions for them to do so. (Maybe the man favours elderly women?) Now would you deem that granny as a "sexual predator" as well? Or would the relatively young husband be deemed as "the predator" instead?

Their marriage was once broadcasted either in the New Richard & Judy Show -Channel 4 or This Morning -ITV1

 * "This is sexual battery"

 * Well, No. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.0.66.253 (talk) 20:04, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

 * That didn't happen and is irrelevant. You're a teacher? WOW. I hope you're a preschool or kindergarten teacher. Have you as a teacher for anything above preschool could have a SERIOUS NEGATIVE IMPACT on a child's education.75.0.66.253 20:03, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia is not a discussion forum. Please keep comments on this page to how to improve the article. Thanks. Danthemankhan 23:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

It is irrelevant whether you and I or anyone in the world disapproves of this "relationship." It was a relationship, by the very definition of the word, which I will now list:

re·la·tion·ship [ri-ley-shuhn-ship] –noun 1. a connection, association, or involvement. 2. connection between persons by blood or marriage. 3. an emotional or other connection between people: the relationship between teachers and students. 4. a sexual involvement; affair.

Further, I find it absurd to bring affect into the application of definitions. I don't approve of what she did, but I have no right to say it wasn't a "relationship", as the usages of that word have already been decided by grammarians far more erudite and versed in the use of English language than any of us involved in this debate.

Further, while this article is a bit lean, I've checked out its facts and and they appear to be accurate. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON IT SHOULD BE DELETED OTHER THAN A MORAL ONE, AND IT IS NO INDIVIDUAL'S RIGHT TO SERVE AS THE ARBITER OF MORALITY HERE OTHER THAN THOSE WHO MODERATE WIKIPEDIA, AND THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT THEY DO NOT REMOVE CONTENT THAT IS FACTUALLY ACCURATE BUT MAY BE FOUND OFFENSIVE BY USERS.

Are you familiar with "freedom of speech." While Wiki has no responsibility to uphold it, you'll find that it respects the essence of that right. Not everything pleases me. Some things I find repugnant. I'm sure that there are those of you who find this article and the whole Pam Rogers story repugnant.

Get over it.

 * Legally, by definition, a minor cannot consent to sex with someone who has reached their majority. "Had sex with" may make sense. "Relationship" doesn't quite fit a continual rape situtation somehow IMO. Student7 15:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Noteworthiness
While the subject got a lot of publicity at the time because no one apparently realized how widespread the problem was of women teachers having sex (legal rape) with minor boys. Now nearly everyone who reads the papers (not the tv) knows that it is not unique. There are hundreds of cases annually. Mercifully, the incidents are no longer screamed nationwide. Why this poor woman should be the subject of a permanent article on her crime is beyond me and just too bad. Keeping it here is tabloid journalism. She is (unfortunately) not noteworthy at all. Student7 03:06, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, consensus appears clear that tabloid fame is notability as far as Wikipedia is concerned. I think that's a very unwise course for an encyclopedia to take, but I'm not going to spit into the wind any further. Dybryd 03:15, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia's general notability guideline is intended to establish a relatively objective criterion for notability that directly relates to whether sufficient coverage in third-party reliable sources exists to write an acceptable article on a subject. Based on the press coverage referenced in this article, the general notability guideline is clearly satisfied. Naturally, the Wikipedia community is often reluctant to declare subjects which are presumed to be notable per the general notability guideline to be non-notable anyway on the basis of a purely subjective assessment of their perceived importance. "this poor woman", as Student7 describes her, is in fact a convicted felon who arouses little sympathy with regard to claims of unwarranted publicity. John254 03:48, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree she is a convicted felon and had caused serious damage to her student{s). As have the hundreds of other women (and men) teachers (and from other professions) that don't have articles on them. Turner was pretty, and her issue arose on a "slow news day" along with about 5 others and became infamous, which they don't deserve individually or as a group. They not only are not noteworthy, but child abuse is, alas, very common, not only in schools, but elsewhere as well. Articles on each perpetrator might even fill Wikipedia's unlimited white space. Wikipedia should not be a police blotter, nor reflect the apparently limitless tabloid hunger of the public for scandal. Student7 11:53, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Notability for Wikipedia is not based on whether someone "deserves" to be famous, it is based on how their fame has been covered by reliable sources. —MJBurrage(T•C) 08:19, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm her age, but I wouldn't mind being raped by her at any age... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.185.120.60 (talk) 00:06, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Discovery + Age Jurisdictions
How did the "inappropriate" relationship came into light of other peoples' awareness? How did they actually get caught?

Could she have escaped prison terms where she would had sex with the young man in a place where there is no jurisdiction (like on international waters) or in a country where the age limit's lowered as age 14? (like some countries in Europe) If that were the case, then none of the news coverage would have happened nor would wikipedia created this article in the first instance.

Will the US laws likely to lower the age limits on consensual sex and consuming alcohol?

88.105.23.242 (talk) 19:07, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

 * More germane: why is there an article on her in the first place? The reason is that relationships such as hers were unknown or unpublished up until a slow news day when her case along with several others came to the attention of the newshawks. So now she is enshrined forever in an encyclopedia for no particular reason. There are dozens of cases like hers in the US each year which go uncovered by Wikipedia, which is fine with me. This is not supposed to be a police blotter.

 * If she had taken the boy into international waters, she would have had the feds after her for kidnapping after she got back! Much, much worse than rape. And it is rape, of course, since there cannot be consensual sex between a minor and someone who has reached their majority. In the US, we don't like teachers of either sex raping students. Apparently that surprises you? In what country (besides Saudi Arabia of course) is rape legal?

 * Oh, by the way, it is still illegal, if not rape, after a student attains their majority in many states, since there is the implication of a tradeoff of marks/recommendation for sex. Student7 (talk) 21:42, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

dam she has a hot ass. if I were 16 again, I would so hit that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.134.164.46 (talk) 22:26, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your input. Editors take note. Still proud of your "encyclopedic" article? Student7 (talk) 01:06, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Tabloid news and not Wikipedia worthy
Similar items have been removed that had more merit than this. Wikipedia is supposed to be about world facts. I would like to cite the entry for Brian Peppers ( http://www.wikitruth.info/index.php?title=Brian_Peppers ) regarding someone on a sex offender registry for a technicality and became an Internet meme because of his physical deformities/handicap. Either this entry should be removed like the Brian Peppers entry, or the Brian Peppers entry and other items from Wikitruth.info should be re-added to Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.58.45 (talk) 04:18, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Currently fails Notability guidelines for stand-alone article
This is one of a series of four women-teachers-molesting-male-students that first came to the media's attention some years back during a slow news period. Stories provided hours of titillating material to a gullible public who was led to believe that these four were the only women teachers in the world who had ever done this. When it became apparent to the media (if not the public) that this was fairly common, the media moved on to other material and neglected the category entirely except for local reporting.

It currently fails as a standalone article. Because of the huge volume of media attention at the time, it must be retained as a "noteworthy" something or other. These four articles should be merged together under some non-WP:OR title. Something shorter than "Four American women teachers convicted of sex crimes against male students from nnnn-nnnn."

See criteria at WP:PERP. Turner fails these since the crime is far from exceptional, but rather common. See also discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(people).Student7 (talk) 21:37, 24 January 2011 (UTC) Student7 (talk) 21:37, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Update about Pamela Joan Rogers incarceration after 2015
According to the Tennessee department of corrections website Pamela was either never convicted of or was Convicted of but had her record expunged for the cell phone smuggling incident and is not in prison right now because the site says she has no active sentences. So somebody please change that.
 * There is nothing about any of this in the source cited. Sundayclose (talk) 00:58, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

- If anyone has a new source showing Pamela Rogers is not incarcerated; please present it here so we can discuss it and change the details of the article; if not please stop putting statements without references. There is sources in the article showing she returned to prison in 2015 but we don’t have a source saying she got out of prison. Also I admit the sources on her in the last few years are not abundant. SeriousHist (talk)

I have put a source here showing Pamela Rogers being returned to Prison in 2015 on cell phone case — Preceding unsigned comment added by SeriousHist (talk • contribs)
 * Hmmmm, that source does not state that Rogers was being returned to Prison in 2015. It says she was indicted by a May 28, 2015 grand jury for introduction of contraband into a state penal facility, and that she was taken into custody on a $50,000 bond.  Without further reliable secondary sources to ascertain what happened next, we can not substantiate anything other than the basic facts of the 2015 arrest and charges.  There is nothing to indicate whether she was convicted and sentenced to a new prison term, or if there was some other outcome (got the charges dropped before trial, or went to trial and was found not guilty, etc.)  As a result, the article here needs to be written to reflect only what is known, as opposed to speculating that Rogers is still incarcerated.  WP:BLPCRIME also needs to be taken into account, given that there is no evidence that a conviction was secured.  Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 15:47, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I've removed the unsourced content stating that she is still imprisoned from the article's body as well as from the lead. If new reliably secondary sources turn up indicating otherwise, it can be added back.  Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 20:30, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

I was able to find 3 important sources about Pamela Rogers after 2015 ; she is mentioned as being behind bars in July 2017 when her Brother Alvin was arrested. I added them to the article; the only challenge remaining is to know what happened after 2017 and to search for sources on other matters concerning her if they are available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SeriousHist (talk • contribs) 07:53, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Pamela Rogers Turner or Pamela Joan Rogers
The title of this article is "Pamela Rogers Turner", while the content consistently refers to her as "Pamela Joan Rogers". Which one is correct? Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 20:33, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

 * I moved the article to "Pamela Joan Rogers", as that it appears to be the correct name since her divorce in 2005. Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 18:04, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Possible evidence
There is a link to a pdf from the site linked to at the bottom of the Ubh page, containing some so-called possible evidence for Ubh's existence. However, not having a post-graduate degree of any kind, I can't get much more out of it. sjl 16:30, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

The idea appears to be that certain stones composed of biotite show evidence that a crystal of, say, a Ubh compound sat at their centre and the Ubh decayed, leaving definite signals of its decay energy in the form of a detectable ring (sphere?) of a certain radius - presumably an "average" of where its decay products ended up - from which decay energy can be calculated. The evidence is not conclusive and the article linked to says that other isotopes explain the phenomenon.

Believe me, I would love to see positive evidence of Ubh. We have never studied elements in the periodic table where the g orbitals are being filled. Putting on my best Devil's Advocate hat, I would conjecture the following: 310-Ubh has a half-life that "we would like" but its decay products are so "hot" radioactively that its critical mass is ridiculously small (micrograms or less), because it ejects so many neutrons and odd nuclei in its own decay and the immediate chain below it that even if they fail to smash the rest of the Ubh they cloud the picture. At this level, spotting something that hardly decays in the lifespan of a typical experiment (due to its million-odd-year half-life) is impossible against a noisy background. This way, maybe we can all have what we really want! Meanwhile, I want to hear of spectral lines in supernovae and other high-energy cosmic phenomena matching nothing we know and I would ask for contributions from those observing these events. They might show Ubh, and we may have a fighting chance of duplicating the results on Earth with existing equipment. Spectroscopy can detect very small quantities of material. And, if we can know, we must know!

Looking for a name for something so annoying, "Tantalum" has been taken. "Damoclesium" might be appropriate as a name if it turns up - concentrating Ubh to look for it activates a natural mechanism to destroy it. Dajwilkinson (talk) 01:31, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

 * What happens when neutrons hit infissile uranium? It becomes neptunium or plutonium, which stick around for days, years, or aions. -lysdexia 22:54, 13 April 2008 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.233.202.125 (talk)

239U and 237U have half-lives of days or thereabouts as they decay to the 24,100-year 239Pu and 2-million-year or so 237Np, both fissile nuclei though they more usually alpha-decay. They are long-lived by our standards but not compared to the age of the Earth, hence we do not find them in appreciable quantities in nature. Fermi's point still stands on the matter of such things as Bob Lazar's claim for a really long-lived element 115: if it existed, we would have found it by now. Dajwilkinson (talk) 09:16, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily (yes, I'm aware how old this is). There is currently no known process by which superheavy nuclides like Ubh could be produced in nature: even the r-process should not be able to get this far, because before we get to mass number 300 we encounter a region of nuclides that are unstable enough that neutron capture is likely to lead to fission. So I wouldn't rule out the idea that a really long-lived element 126 is out there on this basis – although I admit that current theoretical predictions of the nuclear landscape in that region find it unlikely.

Assessment comment
Substituted at 09:31, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

In fiction
I am unsure why superheavy elements seem to have a missing section on what's been fictionalized about them. Since little is actually done experimentally, it should be fine to include even the outlandish fiction and outright pseudoscientific claims that have been done about these highly exotic elements. 2A02:2F0E:DC17:D900:5CEC:E00F:E7EC:E216 (talk) 10:34, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The question then becomes, what is and isn't worth mentioning; any individual fictional use would run afoul of Wikipedia's policy on due and undue weight. Additionally, plenty of fictional materials can be said to be superheavy elements, but may not have any similarities to the real things, and so such a description would probably be out of place / off-topic. For the same reasons, we also don't describe frictional references to common elements in their articles. The article dedicated to notable occurrences in fiction is List of fictional elements, materials, isotopes and subatomic particles. Complex / Rational  12:29, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Talk:History of science fiction films

Untitled
"Except for Star Trek and Star Wars films, the only films set off Earth that appeared in the first half of the 2000s were the poorly received Mission to Mars and Serenity, a continuation of Joss Whedon's tv series Firefly."

As I came to this, Serenity had not even been released, just under a month from hitting theatres - so how accurate is it to say that it's been poorly received? Since I haven't been following reports and updates of the film, I'm going to leave that to someone else to sort out. --Bacteria 12:42, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Many of the assertions made after the "1980s" section deserve to be looked at very critically. See: "Except for Star Trek and Star Wars films, the only films set off Earth that appeared in the first half of the 2000s were Serenity and the poorly received Mission to Mars and Red Planet."

Whoever wrote this section not only gave in to some pretty rampant speculation with no evidence cited (i.e. Star Trek: Nemesis' failure as a factor in the author's perceived overall failure of space sci-fi), but ignored several key films during the time period mentioned, many of which took place in part or in whole in space. Soderberg's Solaris remake, etc. While the author states that fantasy has taken over the role previously filled by sci-fi, that's only really true for huge-budget films, i.e. the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter type record-smashers. It could be argued that the first decade of the 21st century has so far seen science fiction moving from its blockbuster roots and getting smarter, leaner, and scrappier in smaller semi-independent productions now feasible with CGI special effects, such as Solaris or the recently-released Sunshine.

The article needs work.

Hamiltondaniel 07:33, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Fantasy Films Before the 1980s
I disagree with the respondent's rather incredible claim that there were almost no fantasy films before the 1980s that weren't horror. What about:- the various versions of The Thief of Bagdad (1924 and 1940), Disney's various ventures into feature-length animation, Ray Harryhausen's The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958) and The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1974), Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), Dr Dolittle (1967), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) to name but a handful of titles that immediately come to mind. Certainly the point made that there was a convergence between sf and fantasy in the 1980s is a pertinent one.

Titles
I notice a correspondent has recently specifically created an edit to list Star Wars as Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and 2010 as 2010: The Year We Make Contact. Star Wars was only retitled Episode IV: A New Hope in re-release, but not in the original version. Similarly 2010 is only known as 2010 on the screen title, the only place the subtitle The Year We Make Contact appears in on the film's poster. Maybe we could come to some sort of consensus on what the correct title should be could be reached? My feeling is that the title that appears on screen and the one that appears in the original release should be the official title. --203.118.131.65 10:31, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Article fails at the first hurdle
Unfortunately this article fails at the very first hurdle of even accurately understanding what Science Fiction is. ET is not a Science Fiction film, it's pure fantasy. So is Star Wars. Star Wars is a film essentially based on magic and spiritualism, not science. There is nothing scientific about "the Force". Just because it's based in space and has laser94.175.102.211 (talk) 22:07, 25 January 2023 (UTC) guns in it, doesn't make a film science fiction.

I don't think this is an appropriate template to use a NAVBOX for. A NAVBOX is something which is added to the bottom of an article to link between other related articles.

Prince of Wales's Division

The Prince of Wales's Division was a British Army command, training and administrative apparatus designated for all land force units in the West of England and Wales. It merged with the Scottish Division, to form the Scottish, Welsh and Irish Division; at the same time the Mercian Regiment joined with the King's Division.

History
The Prince of Wales's Division was formed in 1968 with the union of the Mercian Brigade, Welsh Brigade and Wessex Brigade. The depot was established at Whittington Barracks in Staffordshire.

Under the restructuring announced in 2004, the Prince of Wales's Division lost the remaining Westcountry infantry regiments and was reorganised into two large regiments:
 * Royal Welsh - formed on 1 March 2006 by amalgamation of the 1st Battalion, Royal Welch Fusiliers, 1st Battalion, Royal Regiment of Wales (24th/41st Foot) and the Royal Welsh Regiment.
 * Mercian Regiment - formed on 1 September 2007 by amalgamation of the 1st Battalion, 22nd (Cheshire) Regiment, 1st Battalion, Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment (29th/45th Foot), 1st Battalion, Staffordshire Regiment (The Prince of Wales's) and the West Midlands Regiment. In 2014 the Royal Irish Regiment joined the division. The Division comprised the following infantry battalions:
 * Regular Army Units
 * 1st (Cheshire) Battalion, The Mercian Regiment
 * 2nd (Worcestershire and Sherwood) Battalion, The Mercian Regiment
 * 1st (Royal Welsh Fusiliers) Battalion, the Royal Welsh
 * 1st Battalion, the Royal Irish Regiment
 * Army Reserve Units
 * 4th Battalion, the Mercian Regiment
 * 3rd Battalion, the Royal Welsh
 * 2nd Battalion, the Royal Irish Regiment

The Division maintained a regular army band, The Band of The Prince of Wales Division through the amalgamation of the two former divisional bands, the Clive Band and the Lucknow Band.

Under the Army 2020 reorganisation, the 3rd Battalion, Mercian Regiment (Staffords) and the 2nd Battalion, Royal Welsh (Royal Regiment of Wales) will both be disbanded, while the Royal Irish Regiment (27th (Inniskilling), 83rd, 87th and Ulster Defence Regiment) will be transferred to the administration of the Prince of Wales' Division.

In December 2016, the government announced changes to the administrative structure of the infantry as part of the continuing reorganization of the Army under "Army 2020". This saw the Mercian Regiment being moved to the King's Division, with the Royal Regiment of Scotland (which encompassed the entirety of the Scottish Division) transferred to a single administrative formation with the Royal Welsh and the Royal Irish Regiment. This new administrative formation became known as the Scottish, Welsh and Irish Division.

Past Units
Past units include:
 * 1st Battalion, The 22nd (Cheshire) Regiment - (1688-2007)
 * 1st Battalion, The Royal Welch Fusiliers - (1689-2006)
 * 1st Battalion, The South Wales Borderers - (1689-1969)
 * 1st Battalion, The Gloucestershire Regiment - (1881-1994)
 * 1st Battalion, The Worcestershire Regiment - (1881-1970)
 * 1st Battalion, The Royal Hampshire Regiment - (1881-1992)
 * 1st Battalion, The Welch Regiment - (1881-1969)
 * 1st Battalion, The Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment) - (1881-1970)

Statistical murder

When a business or regulator uses limited funds to take an action that saves a limited number of lives, instead of an alternative action that would save more lives, this decision is sometimes called statistical murder. This phrase is currently primarily a term of political advocacy, used to draw attention to unwise decision making that either is not the most effective available or is potentially even harmful.

This phrase is a diffuse neologism. The phrase originated in the early 1990s with Professor John D. Graham, a tenured professor of policy and decision sciences at Harvard University's school of Public Health and director of the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis.  This phrase appears in the Congressional Record in February, 1995 where he is quoted thus "John Graham, a Harvard professor, who said, 'Sound science means saving the most lives and achieving the most ecological protection with our scarce budgets. Without sound science, we are engaging in a form of "statistical murder," where we squander our resources on phantom risks when our families continue to be endangered by real risks." In 2001 he was appointed the head of the U.S. Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in the Office of Management and Budget by George W. Bush, making him the top regulator for the United States. Because the analysis underlying the term was controversial among those interested in U.S. government policy, the senate confirmation process for nomination made the term more widely known.

To show that something is statistical murder requires that a comparative risk analysis be done on the available alternatives. This is akin to a cost-benefit analysis but does not entail the translation of lives and health into dollars. However, if other types of benefits are to also be evaluated, the comparative risk analysis approach may not viable, so a cost-benefit analysis must be done.

Additionally, the concept implies that the inefficiently spent resources could in fact be transferred to a more effective alternative. This requires that regulators and policy makers with budgetary authority at least allow such transfers and preferably use cost-benefit analysis to plan the budgeting. This was not the practice at the time the phrase was coined, and has not yet become standard practice in the U.S.

Criticism of concept
Some people object to the required analysis because they believe it is always wrong to put a financial value on human life. They would have no objection to a risk assessment because it only measures lives lost. However, with this limitation it also cannot value any effects other than the number of human lives lost - including non-fatal human diseases, effects on non-human species, and effects on human activities and enjoyment.

It is quite possible to make errors in the statistics used to do the analysis, and in 2002 Richard Parker, a law professor at the University of Connecticut, argued that all the widely published studies suffered from unacceptable flaws.

An alternative view, taken by some policy analysts, is that it is not sufficient to look solely at outcomes, but also at feelings. If a risk is perceived to be significant, but is in fact insignificant, it may nonetheless be appropriate to respond in some way to that risk. Proponents of this view suggest using an expected utility calculation instead.

Talk:Aircraft maintenance technician

Merge with Aircraft Maintenance Engineer?
There's a significant overlap in scope between Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, supposed to be a generic world-wide tradesperson, and Aircraft maintenance technician, which is the same thing but focused on the United States. I'm not sure if merge is the best solution, but the pages do need some title and content reshuffling. Since an aircraft maintenance technician and engineer are broadly understood to refer to the same occupation, one solution is to move Aircraft Maintenance Engineer to Aircraft maintenance engineer (currently a DAB page), turn it into a WP:CONCEPTDAB, redirect Aircraft maintenance technician to it, and then let Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (Canada) and Aircraft Maintenance Technician (United States) (this one) to be its country-specific subarticles. P.S. I have no opinion on proper casing of the later two. No such user (talk) 09:17, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. There is now a related discussion at Talk:Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 13:35, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose merge, agree with other bits. Firstly, the idea of an aircraft maintenance technician (lower case) is a general one, while the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer or Licensed AME (L-AME) (capitalised) is a professional qualification. Secondly, their roles and responsibilities differ in that the AMT can in general only carry out maintenance work, while the AME is qualified to inspect the work and to certify on behalf of the government that the aircraft is flightworthy (to over-simplify, the technician carries the spanner, the engineer carries the rubber stamp). Secondly, the US situation is somewhat different from the rest of the world. This is because it arose historically in a different context. I agree with renaming this article to focus on the US qualification. Setting out the detail commonalities and differences between them in a single article would make it turgid and unreadable. Thirdly, there has been a good deal of political infighting over these roles in recent years and the OP's assertion that "Since an aircraft maintenance technician and engineer are broadly understood to refer to the same occupation" is one polar PoV which has arisen over the years, and is strongly opposed by others. With some inside knowledge, I can say that that this issue is now coming to a head, especially in Canada where the AMEs have a professional association, AMEC/TEAC (TEAC being the French-language version) to press their case. There are going to be significant developments in the near future. Adding that lot to a single article as it surfaces in reliable sources would compound the unreadable tangle. Perhaps the redirect left behind by the above suggestion could be re-purposed to document the broad history and controversy, or perhaps that would fit in the parent Aircraft maintenance article. If the AME article is to have anything merged in, it is more likely to be its Canada-specific child article. But I would hesitate to do anything drastic until the current developments surface and we can document it all here properly. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 10:46, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * FWIW, an informative document in the above-mentioned controversy is Steve Chamberlain's 2022 presentation to Canada's WAMEA; a copy is available on the Internet Archive. (However I am not sure that it passes our reliability criteria, so I have not used its information in any articles. Perhaps third parties will publish endorsements in due course.) — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 12:39, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Improve Article Photo
I would like to address that the photo shown in this article should be replaced with a different photo. My reasoning is merely opinion.

Though the photo depicts aircraft line maintenance, I feel that it's a misrepresentation of safe and thorough aircraft maintenance due to the fact the nose landing gear wheels are being replaced at the same time could turn fatal as the jack could fail and the nose of the aircraft could violently fall. Though I have not read the maintenance manual for this aircraft type, most aircraft maintenance manuals will have in bold red lettering not to remove both tires off the axle and only remove one wheel at a time. It doesn't matter if it's partial jacking or full jacking. I feel that showcasing a wheel change with no tires left on the gear is an embarrassment to the industry. I understand the context of this photo is simply an innocent photo of mechanics uploaded to Wikipedia to help the reader understand the topic. 73.102.74.197 (talk) 14:34, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I have removed it, unless and until a better one comes along. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 15:05, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Actor/Archive 1

How about Actors/Actors and Actresses?

Also, I still see some girls here on the boys pages.

In case you haven't noticed, women refer to themselves now as actors... I hope the page editor who deleted all the women, except Judith Dench, Ellen Burstein, Blythe Danner, and Sophia Loren and further messed up the alphabetizing will correct it. You might notice also that Sidney Poitier is a man, or so I always thought.

 * A female who acts is an actress. Thus, when Hilary Swank won an Academy Award, it was for Best Actress, not Best Actor Who Is Female.  Please see George Orwell's Politics and the English Language for more on manipulating thought by abusing language.

 * Great essay, this, but doesn't have enough detail about the ways political hacks abuse language. That is a fascinating topic.  I'm also not quite sure that it's the best way to describe the resistance to "actress."

Re: "actress"...yet another perfectly useful word forever tarred with the brush of political incorrectness. Female actpersons might refer to themselves as actors, but there are still many people who refer to them (quite respectfully) as actresses. It's what they are, isn't it? -- AnonymousCoward (ducking)

Linguistically speaking, what is common usage IS correct. These females who act are, as a group, whatever the plurality of AME speakers call them, be it actors or actresses. THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE!!!(Answer to A.C.) Since there is a dispute here, started by me, I will cede to the older nomenclature and possibly the majority opinion. I have created actresses. Wait til next year though...:-).

I thought about this when I created the two pages, believe me. I thought about it, too, when I created separate pages for Male Tennis Professionals and Female Tennis Professionals. In both cases, I was guided by the highest professional awards. In tennis, women play in a separate league from men. In acting, the Academy Awards (and, I believe, all the other major awards) are granted separately to male and female performers.

In both cases, there is a good reason for the distinction. If men and women played in the same tennis league, it would be extremely unfair. That's a biological fact, as far as I know. Maybe in the future, it will not be true, but for today, it is true.

In acting, it is generally, but of course not universally, the case that parts played by women and parts played by men are inherently different. It might be possible to remake, say, The Godfather, with Michelle Pfeiffer playing the role previously played by Marlon Brando, but... --Jimbo Wales

The question seems to me, whether their is a difference in the activity called acting for men and women. I don't see any. Remember, in Shakespeare's time all roles were played by men. Why are "the parts played by men and those by women inherently different," by the way?

I would answer this by saying that the problem was sexism in Shakespeare's time, not in our own. The role of Lady Macbeth is best portrayed by a woman, I think. A film detailing the life of Mother Theresa, starring Sylvester Stallone in the central role, would be a farce, would it not?

Remember that I said, "generally, but by no means universally".

Perhaps in the future, the methods of makeup will have advanced to a sufficient stage that Sean Connery could play a convincing Princess Diana, but for now, gender is relevant to the roles, and it is not sexism to note this fact. --Jimbo Wales

And I suppose having Elizabeth Taylor playing Mother Theresa or Oprah Winfrey playing Princess Diana would be good casting? Notice you are choosing characters who HAVE lived and of whom we already have a visual image. Remember that Mary Martin played Peter Pan?

Is this stealing your last word, if I only agree with what you've said? It occurred to me late last night (Wikipedia is keeping me up at night!) that you are absolutely right when you say that there isn't a difference in the activity of acting between men and women. And you are of course right too, in pointing out that just as some men are not right for some parts as women, some women are equally not right for some parts as women.

Of course, this perhaps doesn't remove the need for the distinction. We agree that personal physical characteristics can play a major role in how a performer is perceived in a part. And so we might conclude that, in general, gender is or at least tends to be a highly important characteristic for classifying performers. So we might leave the distinction as is.

The big difference between my tennis example, and acting, is that in tennis it really is true that the top tennis players would all be men, if all were to play in the same league. In order to have sensible competition, segregation is probably necessary. But why do we have separate awards for best actor and best actress? Even if men and women naturally tend to play different parts, there seems to be no reason why we should consider it difficult at all to decide if Julia Roberts or Al Pacino is the better performer in a given year.

I guess we will have to agree to agree!!!

If we were making a page listing famous philosophers, or famous scientists, I do not think that a separate listing would be a good thing at all. Unless, of course, someone wanted to make a page highlighting famous female scientists of the past, when they were more rare, or something like that.

One of the beautiful things about a wiki is, of course, that someone can create a page of 'Acting Professionals' that lists all of them, male or female, on the same page, or in alphabetical order, like 'Acting Professionals/A', etc. --Jimbo Wales

?<-MyBox

-

I think differentiation between actresses and actors isn't a derogatory, sexist, or generally bad thing. Take, for example, a member of the US Congress. We universally call a male member a "Congressman". However, what can we call women? "Congressperson" is not a commonly used word. "Congressman" would obviously be sexist (and I say this with the utmost seriousness). So, we use "Congresswoman". Is that degrading? No. I doubt any female member of Congress would prefer "Congressman" or the unused word "Congressperson"? And by unused, I mean, how many times have you heard the media say "Congressperson Dianne Feinstein" rather than "Congresswoman Dianne Feinstein"?

So, what's wrong with calling female theatre or movie performers "actresses"? I think many females I know would prefer themselves being called with an obvious feminine term rather than a generally masculine term. This is more prevalent in foreign languages, such as French, where une actrice and un acteur have specific genders, and it would be rather weird say "elle est un acteur", which literally means "she is an actor (masculine)". ugen64 01:06, Dec 8, 2003 (UTC)

 * Oh, and can someone delete the huge, long, list of acting professionals at the bottom that is annoying and rather unnecessary? ugen64 01:06, Dec 8, 2003 (UTC)

Why the need to differentiate? The term "actor" does not carry the kind of gender specificity as does "congressman" or "congresswoman," at least in English. Calling a female actor an "actress" gives me the same shivers as calling a female poet a "poetess." Ugh. Plus, the corresponding plural form, "actors and actresses," takes twice as long to say and write. So much more efficient and non-discriminatory to accept the convention that an actor is a person who acts and a group of people who act are "actors."

(Just an actor's two cents. Thanks for letting me participate.) -

The names have a purpose! We can look at the list and immediately see if they have been written on or not. This way we can choose to write on them, or leave them alone. (I got to this page by looking for information on Scott Bairstow, from Party of Five, who got into legal trouble this week for, ahem, difficulties with a 12-year-old girl.) Anyway-- I found this list from my search, and found from the list that Wikipedia didn't really have anything either. Sometimes (like in the case of Tom Mix or Victoria Principal) I will create the document if I know something about the person.

I thought about just spacing the list so that the names didn't take up so much vertical space, then I just got tired of it. Maybe someone else can take up this chore...

An automated Wikipedia link suggester has some possible wiki link suggestions for the Actor article, and they have been placed on this page for your convenience.

Is this really true?
During the Rennaissance, and for much of the subsequent century, deceased actors were buried at a crossroads, with a bowl and, in some cases, a stake through the heart, in much the same manner as a Vampire. They were also often distrusted because of their apparent supernatural ability to take on the persona of another individual.

Can someone post an independent source on this? I'm asking this because a lot of dubious editing has been going on from 62.252.64.18 (talk · contributions). I hope I'm just paranoid, but still... Shinobu 02:05, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sethus Calvisius

Sethus Calvisius or Setho Calvisio, originally Seth Kalwitz (21 February 1556 – 24 November 1615), was a German music theorist, composer, chronologer, astronomer, and teacher of the late Renaissance.

Biography
He was born into a peasant family at Gorsleben in present-day Thuringia. By the exercise of his musical talents he earned money enough for the start, at Helmstedt, of a university career, which the aid of a wealthy patron enabled him to continue at Leipzig. He became director of the music-school at Pforta in 1572. In 1594 he was transferred to Leipzig in the same post, including directing the Thomanerchor at the Thomaskirche. He retained this post until his death in Leipzig, despite the offers successively made to him of mathematical professorships at Frankfurt and Wittenberg.

Calvisius was also a significant astronomer: in his Opus Chronologicum (Leipzig, 1605, 7th ed. 1685) he expounded a system based on the records of nearly 300 eclipses. An ingenious, though ineffective, proposal for the reform of the calendar was put forward in his Elenchus Calendarii Gregoriani (Frankfurt, 1612); and he published a book on music, Melodiae condendae ratio (Erfurt, 1592). He composed choral pieces including Unser Leben währet siebzig Jahr.

Abay Tsehaye

Abay "Amha" Tsehaye (ኣባይ ኣምሓ ፀሓየ; 29 April 1953 – 13 January 2021) was an Ethiopian politician and a prominent personality in the Ethiopian political discourse. He was active in the political scene from the early 1960s up to late 2018, initially as one of the founding members of the TPLF (from inception to 1990), followed by important positions from 1990 to 2018 within the EPRDF, which led the Ethiopian government, after which he retired and moved to live in Axum and Mekelle in Tigray.

Life
Abay was born on 29 April 1953, in Axum, Tigray. He attended high school in Mekelle, the capital city of Tigray, which had modern schools at the time. He attended college-level education at the Addis Ababa University (AAU) (then called Haile Selassie I University). Aside from his academic work, he had an eye on activism, stemming from the difficulties he encountered as a Tigrayan.

Abay was a student activist while enrolled in Haile Selassie I University in the early 1970s as a member of the Tigrayan University Students' Association. He was always passionate when talking about the systemic injustices imposed by the Ethiopian state on the people of Tigray. He was one of many Tigrayans attending AAU who took up the cause of disenfranchised people and particularly Tigrayans.

Abay discovered that Ethiopians are not free if they cannot overcome the feudal state and the unjust arrangement which had them in a bind. He became a founding member of the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) with approximately 12 students. Abay was selected to be one of the first TPLF members to be given military training by the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) and he arrived in Asmara in January 1975 after changing his name from "Amha" to Abay.

With Meles Zenawi and Sibhat Nega, Abay was one of the founders of the TPLF in July 1985. Following the end of the Ethiopian Civil War and the fall of the Dergue Regime, Abay became Minister of Federal Affairs in 2001. Abay was also an executive member of the Central Committee of the TPLF for a large part of his political career.

Death
According to the Ethiopian government, Abay went missing in action in the ongoing Tigray War by the Ethiopian National Defence Forces under the command of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on 13 January 2021.

Two other Tigray People's Liberation Front officials were killed with him. The Ethiopian government alleged that the group refused to surrender. The other two veteran Tigrayans killed are Asmelash Woldeselassie, who was blind and with amputated left arm, and Seyoum Mesfin, Ethiopia's Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1991 until September 2010. Five further officials were captured.

Abay Tsahaye had heart surgery before the war. Their families and the TPLF have since said the three were taken from their homes in Mekelle and executed by the Eritrean and Ethiopian military. The pictures published by Ethiopian authorities indicate a point-blank execution of the former ministers and MPs.

Kacha (sage)

Kacha (कच) is a sage featured in Hindu mythology. He is the son of Brihaspati and Tara. The narrative of Kacha is mentioned in the Mahābhārata, the Matsya Purana and the Agni Purana. He is known for learning Mṛtasañjīvanī vidyā mantra (a hymn for reviving the dead) from his guru Shukra. However, is unable to revive devas due to the curse of Shukra's daughter, Devayani.

Legend
Kacha is described to be the handsome son of Brihaspati. He is sent by the devas to Shukra's ashrama (spiritual hermitage) to learn about the Mṛtasañjīvanī vidyā mantra, the knowledge that allows one to restore life after death. Shukra accepts him as his disciple, and the latter accepts the task of offering him a thousand years of service. Devayani is infatuated by the youth, and the two become an inseparable couple. The asuras, however, are suspicious of Kacha's intentions, guessing correctly that he wished to know the secret of the life-restoring mantra. They murder him on two different occasions: They kill him when he is deep within the forest and feed him to the wolves, and pound his body to paste, mixing it with seawater. On both occasions, upon the insistent pleas of his daughter, Kacha is restored to life with the knowledge of the Sañjīvanī by Shukra. In their third attempt, the asuras burn the body of Kacha, mix it with ashes and wine, offer it to Shukra to drink. When dusk falls, and Shukra observes that his disciple has not yet arrived, he deduces that the latter is in his belly. Finding himself in a dilemma, the acharya teaches Kacha the Mṛtasañjīvanī mantra, and when the disciple bursts out of Shukra's belly, killing him, he revives his acharya by chanting the mantra. His objective achieved, he stays under the tutelage of Shukra until his education is completed.

His education complete, Kacha takes his leave from Devayani and her father, and starts to journey back to Devaloka. Devayani follows him for a long distance, and requests that he marry her. Kacha reveals to her that Shukra had told him that since he had emerged from the acharya's belly, he is deemed to be his son, and that made Devayani his sister. Furious at his rejection, Devayani curses him that he would be unable to employ the art of the life-reviving mantra himself. Kacha, in turn, curses her that none of the sons of sages would marry her. After the incident, they parted ways, and never met again.

Queen's Division

The Queen's Division is a British Army training and administrative apparatus for infantry regiments from the East & South of England, and Gibraltar.

Formation
The Queen's Division was formed in 1968 with the regimentation of the Home Counties Brigade, Fusilier Brigade and East Anglian Brigade, followed by the union of the new regiments. The depot was established at Bassingbourn Barracks in Cambridgeshire.

Cold War
During the Cold War, the Queen's Division saw a massive expansion. Below the list of units belonging to the division with disbandment dates or transfer dates where needed:

Following the reorganisation of the TA in 1999, the Queen's Division was reduced to just six regular battalions (two in each regiment) and just three TA battalions (one in each).

Modern day
Because the Queen's Division already contained large regiments from the previous round of amalgamations in the 1960s, it was the only one of the five line infantry divisions to be unaffected by the restructuring announced in 2004.
 * Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (Queen's and Royal Hampshire) (PWRR)
 * Royal Regiment of Fusiliers (RRF)
 * Royal Anglian Regiment (R ANGLIAN)

However, in 2022 the infantry was reorganised, which saw two regiments from the north of England attached. The Queen's Division therefore now comprises the following infantry battalions:

 * Regular Army Units
 * 1st Battalion, The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (Queen's and Royal Hampshire)
 * 1st Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers
 * 1st Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border)
 * 1st Battalion, The Mercian Regiment (Cheshire, Worcesters and Foresters, and Staffords)
 * 1st and 2nd Battalions, The Royal Anglian Regiment
 * 3rd Battalion The Rangers
 * Royal Gibraltar Regiment
 * Army Reserve Units
 * 3rd Battalion, The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (Queen's and Royal Hampshire)
 * 4th Battalion, The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (Queen's and Royal Hampshire)
 * 5th Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers
 * 4th Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's, Lancashire and Border)
 * 4th Battalion, The Mercian Regiment (Cheshire, Worcesters and Foresters, and Staffords)
 * 3rd Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment

The current Colonel Commandant is Lieutenant General Douglas Chalmers.

Bands
Before the formation of the Corps of Army Music in 1994, each battalion of the Queen's Division, except for the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers maintained a band. These included the following:

Regular Army

 * Band of the 1st Battalion, Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (formed by amalgamation of the 1 and 2 QUEENS bands)
 * Band of the 2nd Battalion, Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (formed by redesignation of R HAMPS band (Note: 3 QUEENS didn't have a band following reductions in 1984) )
 * Duke of Kent's Band of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers
 * Saint George's Band of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers
 * Band of the 1st Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment
 * Band of the 2nd Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment
 * Band of the 3rd Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment

Territorial Army

 * Kohima Band of the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment – 5 PWRR (formed by redesignation of the Band of the Queen's Regiment – overseen by 5 QUEENS )
 * Warwickshire Band of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers – 5 RF
 * Northumbria Band of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers – 6 RF
 * Band of the Royal Anglian Regiment – 5 R ANGLIAN

Following the reductions, all above bands were reduced to the Normandy Band of the Queen's Division (Bands of the RRF) and the Minden Band of the Queen's Division (Bands of the PWRR and R ANGLIANs ).

Following reductions to the Corps of Army Music, the Band of the Queen's Division was formed through amalgamation of the two former bands in 2007, but later disbanded in 2018. CAMUS was reorganised in 2019 with the band reforming, itself now part of British Army Band Catterick.

In addition, since 1992 the Royal Gibraltar Regiment maintains a Band and Corps of Drums.

Victoriana

Victoriana is a term used to refer to material culture related to the Victorian period (1837–1901). It often refers to decorative objects, but can also describe a variety of artifacts from the era including graphic design, publications, photography, machinery, architecture, fashion, and Victorian collections of natural specimens. The term can also refer to Victorian-inspired designs, nostalgic representations, or references to Victorian-era aesthetics or culture appropriated for use in new contexts

The term "Victoriana" was coined in 1918, just before a wave of interest in Victorian objects and artifacts began in the 1920s. Another increased period of collecting of Victoriana emerged in the 1950s. In 1951, the Festival of Britain commemorated the centenary of the Victorian era's first world's fair, the 1851 Great Exhibition held at the Crystal Palace.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the eclectic character of Victorian era wood type inspired graphic designers like Seymour Chwast and Push Pin Studios. Items such as Stevengraphs were popular collectable items during the revival of interest in Victoriana in the 1960s and 1970s.

In the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher, then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, promoted an interest in Victoriana by emphasizing "Victorian family values" as part of a roadmap to cultural, moral, and economic improvement.

Popular culture
In science fiction circles (especially in genres like steampunk), Victoriana is used loosely to describe mock-Victorian worlds, where visual references to the machinery of the Industrial Revolution are incorporated into urban, romanticized pastiches with fantastic creatures and imagined mechanical contraptions.

DECsystem

DECsystem was a line of server computers from Digital Equipment Corporation. They were based on MIPS architecture processors and ran DEC's version of the UNIX operating system, called ULTRIX. They ranged in size from workstation-style desktop enclosures to large pedestal cabinets.

The DECSYSTEM name was also used for later models of the PDP-10, namely the DECSYSTEM-10 and DECSYSTEM-20 series.

DECsystem 3100
Identical to the DECstation 3100, but was intended to be used as a multiuser system. It was announced in early May 1989 at the UniForum exhibition in San Francisco. It was shipped in June 1989. Code name PMAX.

DECsystem 5000 Series
Rebranded Personal DECstation 5000 Series without any graphics. Code name MAXINE.

DECsystem 5000 Model 100 Series
Rebranded DECstation 5000 Model 100 Series without any graphics. Codename 3MIN.

DECsystem 5000 Model 200 Series
Rebranded DECstation 5000 Model 200 Series without any graphics. Code name 3MAX. (5000/260 3MAX+).

DECsystem 5100
A desktop uniprocessor entry-level server. It replaced the DECsystem 3100. Code name MIPSMATE.

DECsystem 5400
A pedestal uniprocessor system based on the Q-Bus. It shared many hardware options with the 3x00-series MAYFAIR VAXes, including TK70 tape drive, MS650-BA memory and DSSI disk drives. SCSI was not available except with third party add in hardware. The unit shipped with a MicroVAX diagnostic processor, which would run similar ROM diagnostics to the MicroVAX series, as well as boot the tape based MicroVAX Diagnostic TK70 tape. Once the console transferred control of the computer to the MIPS processor the MicroVAX sat essentially unused until the next boot. Code name MIPSFAIR.

DECsystem 5500
A pedestal uniprocessor system based on the Q-Bus. It replaced the DECsystem 5400. The 5500 came with native SCSI support, as well as support for DSSI disk drives. Code name MIPSFAIR-2.

The DECsystem 5500 is shipped in a BA430 enclosure, which provides a 12-slot backplane and room for four mass storage devices. The base system contains the following:

* A KN220-AA module set. This consists of a KN220 I/O module in slot 1 and a KN220 CPU module in slot 2. The CPU module contains: o 30 MHz R3000 CPU with R3010 FPU. o 512 KB of Prestoserve (NFS accelerator) battery-backed RAM. The I/O module contains: o Q22-bus interface o SGEC Second Generation Ethernet Controller o DSSI Digital Storage System Interconnect port o SII-based SCSI port. * From 1 to 4 MS220-AA 32 MB memory modules, installed in slots 3 through 7.

DECsystem 5800 Series
The DECsystem 5800 Series are high-end multiprocessor systems. The series comprised the DECsystem 5810, 5820, 5830, and 5840, with the third digit referring to the number of processors. These systems can be considered to be the MIPS/RISC alternatives of the VAX 6000 operating the XMI and BI bus. The 5810 and 5820, using 25 MHz R3000 microprocessors and R3010 floating-point coprocessors, were introduced on 11 July 1989. Code name ISIS.

DECsystem 5900 and DECsystem 5900/260
The DECsystem 5900 and DECsystem 5900/260 are rack-mounted DECstation 5000 Model 240 and DECstation Model 260 workstations, respectively, positioned as mid-range servers by Digital. The DECsystem 5900 was introduced in early December 1991. Both models were discontinued on 28 January 1994. Their intended replacement was the DEC 3000 Model 800S AXP packaged in a similar rack-mountable enclosure.

The DECstation system module is repackaged in a CPU drawer, which is mounted in a rack with a mounting kit which permits the drawer to be slid in and out. The CPU module also contained an integrated TURBOchannel Extender, the power supply and a blower, which cooled the system. However, as the system module that these systems use does not feature multiprocessing capabilities, the presence of two CPU drawers in a rack simply meant that there were two separate systems. The mass storage drawers, in such a case, would be divided between the CPU drawers, with a minimum of one per a CPU drawer.

There are two models of mass storage drawers. One model may contain one to four 5.25-inch full-height non-removable, one 5.25-inch full-height removable or non-removable and two 5.25-inch half-height removable devices. The other model may contain one to five 5.25-inch full-height non-removable, one 5.25-inch removable and two 5.25-inch half-height removable devices. In both models, a 400 W power supply is located at the rear of the drawer.

The H9A00 enclosure, a 19-inch rack, contains a minimum of one CPU drawer and one mass storage drawer. A power controller at the bottom of the enclosure distributed power to the CPU and mass storage drawers. The rack can contain a maximum of two CPU drawers and four mass storage drawers.

The DECsystem 5900 has a width of 61 cm, a height of 170 cm, a depth of 86.4 cm and a weight of 265 to 485 kg depending on the configuration.

2005 Italian regional elections

The Italian regional elections of 3–4 April 2005 were a major victory (11-2) for the centre-left The Union coalition, led by Romano Prodi. The centre-right coalition, governing in the national government, was defeated in all the regions it held, except for its strongholds in Lombardy and Veneto, whose population is anyway a fourth of Italian population. The elections resulted in the national government, led by Silvio Berlusconi, to acknowledge defeat and open a crisis, which resulted in the formation of Berlusconi III Cabinet, with some ministers being substituted.

Due to a series of bureaucratic issues involving the presentation of the list of Social Alternative in Basilicata, the election there would have been held two weeks later. There, the victory of the centre-left coalition brought the tally to 12-2.

The fact that the centre-left was particularly strong in small regions led to the even result of the 2006 general election.

In the latter, he was part of the breakaway on the fifteenth stage with three other riders, and was still clear with Simon Gerrans and Egoi Martínez heading into the final kilometre of the stage, an uphill finish to Prato Nevoso in Italy. He was out-sprinted by Gerrans and Martínez, sitting up for a third-place stage finish. He took a further third-place Grand Tour stage finish at the following year's Giro d'Italia, this time as part of a 25-rider breakaway; he was out-sprinted by Michele Scarponi and Félix Cárdenas at the finish in Benevento.

In October 2015 the UCI Continental team, then named , announced that Pate would join them for the 2016 season after four years with , reuniting him with former Prime Alliance teammate and Optum performance director Jonas Carney.
