Tom Spurgeon

Thomas Martin Spurgeon (December 16, 1968 – November 13, 2019) was an American writer, historian, critic, and editor in the field of comics, notable for his five-year run as editor of The Comics Journal and his blog The Comics Reporter.

Early life
Spurgeon was born on December 16, 1968, in Muncie, Indiana. He was one of three sons of Sandra "Sunny" McFarren and Wiley W. Spurgeon Jr. His mother was a senior manager in the health care industry, and his father was the executive editor of the sister newspapers The Muncie Star and The Muncie Evening Press, a role that included curating the newspapers' comics pages.

Spurgeon was his class president in high school, and attended college at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, where he was a lineman on the football team, and graduated with a BA in History and Politics in 1991. He spent the next two years in Evanston, Illinois, studying at the Garrett–Evangelical Theological Seminary before leaving in 1993.

Career
Spurgeon was the managing editor, and later executive editor, of The Comics Journal, a comics trade magazine and critical journal published by Fantagraphics, from 1994 to 1999. Under his tenure, the magazine expanded the scope of its coverage to more regularly include European comics, introducing an English-language readership to the new wave of publishing from France led by the group of cartoonists centered around L'Association. As well, Spurgeon's Journal was notable for the coverage it gave to burgeoning scenes of American comics makers like the Fort Thunder collective.

After leaving The Comics Journal, Spurgeon wrote the comic strip Wildwood with his childhood friend Dan Wright. The strip, initially launched as Bobo's Progress, was syndicated by King Features from 1999 to 2002 and ran in about 80 newspapers.

With Jordan Raphael, Spurgeon co-wrote the biography Stan Lee and the Rise and Fall of the American Comic Book (Chicago Review Press, 2003). He was also the coauthor of The Romita Legacy (Dynamite, 2011).

In 2004, with site designer Jordan Raphael, Spurgeon launched The Comics Reporter.

Spurgeon co-authored a history of his former employer, Fantagraphics. Written with Jacob Covey, Comics as Art: We Told You So was initially scheduled for release in 2006. However, a defamation lawsuit launched by Harlan Ellison against Fantagraphics, claiming they had defamed him in the book, saw publication delayed. The book was released, with references to Ellison omitted, in 2017.

In 2014, Spurgeon became the Executive Director of Cartoon Crossroads Columbus, an annual free four-day celebration of cartooning and graphic novels in Columbus, Ohio.

Personal life
Spurgeon described himself as "a big, fat guy", standing at six feet three inches tall and weighing at times over 400 pounds. In 2011, he underwent emergency surgery that placed The Comics Reporter website on hiatus. He wrote an essay about the experience. A year later, he posted a second essay detailing his change in perspective, lifestyle modifications, and significant weight loss following his surgery. In it, he explains, "I wasn't sick because I was overweight. The weight was a factor in my recovery...My desire to lose weight greatly intensified because of the new health realities I faced."

Spurgeon died on November 13, 2019, at age 50, in Columbus, Ohio.

Awards
Spurgeon and The Comics Reporter won the Eisner Award for Best Comics-Related Periodical/Journalism in 2010, 2012, and 2013. The site was also awarded the UTNE Independent Press Award for arts and literature coverage in 2002. Spurgeon sat on the 2019 Ringo Awards Professional Jury.

Talk:Wine glass

Discussion
Needs article.

Be sure to explain the lack of thought about the design when you create it. Very prone to breaking at the stem and embedding itself within hands of innocent beings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.8.58.181 (talk • contribs) 05:12, 29 August 2005

What about History
i was hoping to find a little bit about the history and development of the wine glass here. that would probably be a good addition.

At the moment it seems a bit irrelevant as it just mentions about bubble trailing within glasses. This section needs expanding, Spuddddddd —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.125.1.220 (talk) 17:24, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Lead
Some wine glasses have lead in them. Should the implications, California law (which requires that the glass says it has lead) be discussed? -- Char leen mer ced  Talk  04:33, 4 March 2007 (UTC)Charleenmerced

I removed the citation tag from the line that says lead crystal is not a real crystal. Lead Crystal links to the wikipedia article on the subject, which says in the first line that it is a glass (not a crystal).Hithisishal (talk) 04:30, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Amount it holds
It would be nice if the amount of liquid (in fl oz & milliliters) a typical wine glass holds was somewhere in the article. 74.69.7.20 (talk) 22:42, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

"Proper" Use
I could be wrong, but perhaps the glass is held by the stem to keep the main part of the glass from being covered in smudges and fingerprints. Aurast (talk) 16:04, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Dubious -- the article's one citation is the ONLY cite on the ENTIRE INTERNET which states that it's a misconception that hand heat will warm the wine. Do a search, all other internet literature says that hand heat will warm the wine and affect the taste.  Someone has a vested interest in pretending that it's ok to hold the glass by the bowl.  68.101.143.168 (talk) 02:57, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Could be. Either way, something had to be changed to correct the inconsistency -- the article said that holding a glass by the stem has nothing to do with altering the temperature, but then it said exactly the opposite towards the beginning. I'm not sure which it is, so I changed the beginning sentence to reflect the commonly accepted reasoning, until some citations appear. --Axcelis555 (talk) 19:54, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Good edit, Axcelis. T om ea s y T C 22:13, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Article needs serious attention and description of the hazards and anxieties presented byt he use of the traditional wine glass, whose design is quite obsolete and clumsy. At least a reference to non-breakable material should be made and the anxiety imposed on drinkers using such vessels in crowded gatherings like corporate functions. Article must not be restricted to the narrow and selfish concerns of wine industry participants but should instead represent the broader view of the community. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.219.240.155 (talk) 03:21, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

--you hold it by the stem because your hands smell of whatever it is they smell at that moment, and that would alter the way you perceive the wine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.170.30.248 (talk) 16:19, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Why that glass?
The glass pictured at the beginning of the article is definitely not, I think, a suitable wine glass. If I should ever be invited somewhere and be offered wine in such a container I would certainly never accept an invitation there again. Why not get rid of it and replace the image by the red wine glass pictured further down in the article? Anyone who needs an explanation for this suggestion can just as well go lie under a bridge and gulp the stuff straight from the bottle -Dezwitser (talk) 16:48, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

 * I won't object if you move the red wine glass up to the top. I wouldn't have the reaction you describe if offered red wine in such a glass, but I'd probably wonder why it was being used to serve red wine. Sparkling wine seems more appropriate for that shape of glass.

 * I know some winemakers who swear by a re-usable jam jar (with a disc-shaped lid clamped down by a threaded ring, as shown in the picture) for use as a sample glass for tasting, experimentation and creating wine blends — and one I know drinks wine from the jar exclusively, claiming it's superior to the more traditional bowl-shaped glass. For certain strong-flavored California reds, I agree they work well, and we now have a collection of those jars at home for drinking wine — although you might decline a second invitation from me :). ~Amatulić (talk) 17:56, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Fixed. I also re-organized the article and added some citations. There is still a lot of OR. Ideally, the article should be about what reliable sources say, not OR. Talk to SageGreenRider 18:01, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Some issues with the article
Here are two issues with the article I just noticed: --Notcharliechaplin (talk) 08:43, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Wine glasses made of plastic (that resemble to stemmed glass type) are available these days yet are still referred to as wine GLASSes containing no glass. So we need to at least mention the existence of plastic stemmed wine glasses, not to be confused with clear plastic cups also used to served wines, among other beverages.
 * There is a lot of info on wines glass types and their supposed benefits for each wine type that lacks specific citations supporting it or leaves out what the benefits supposedly are. This can be fixed where needed by stating exactly what notable "wine aficionados/experts" claim they are, and indicating where if any such alleged benefits have scientific support. We also need to be careful not to imply anywhere that certain kinds of wine glasses only to by used for specific wine types if your a "proper" wine drinker. Even if, for example, wine snobs might look down upon a casual champagne drinker using a red or white wine glass to drink it from, it's not Wikipedias place to support or criticize this view, but rather simply to point how different types of wine glasses have been traditionally used. So no "Red Wine should only be served in red wine wineglass.", for example.

Citation needed flag concerning tongue map
The article linked for tongue map provides the overview as well as refutation mentioned, is the [citation necessary] flag thus really needed? Ekqlea (talk) 12:37, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Tongue map says nothing about wine or the shape of wine glasses? And what about olfaction? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:44, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Concerning the [dubious-discuss] flag in the shapes section
I think it is important to distinguish between taste and flavour. The tongue does indeed perceive the basic tastes (such as sweet, salty, bitter, umami, etc), as well as mouth feel (e.g. adstringency). However flavours/aromas beyond taste such as fruitiness, “coffee”, “chocolate”, etc is indeed an olfactory function. Ekqlea (talk) 12:42, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

The Mall link
I'm confused as to why "The Mall" link text links to DC... isn't that the wrong way 'round? Or at any rate, it'd be a good idea to make it more transparent why the given text links to the given article... Alai 05:12, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

SUA - really?
Is there really SUA over Manhattan and Hollywood? I don't have the relevant charts but I checked online and couldn't see any. There may be TFRs popping up in those places, but a TFR isn't a SUA. Other well-known examples of P are Crawford and Kennebunkport. There are plenty of R's and MOAs around well-known installations, particularly military - can't we use those as an example? David Brooks 05:28, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I corrected the SUA definition but qualified my description as being just for the US - can someone who knows other jurisdictions can retouch as appropriate. The AIM also recognizes "Other Airspace Areas" - if we go an and talk about those, it needs to be made more clear that all SUA and OAA is also either Controlled or Uncontrolled. David Brooks 15:32, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I think that the big problem was that there are really only two top level types of airspace: controlled or uncontrolled. Prohibited Areas, Restricted Areas and all manner of other SUA is a different concept to this.  I've changed the article to reflect this, removing the definition of SUA (which is almost and article in its own right) and removed some assertions based on the US way of doing things that are incorrect from an international perspective.BaseTurnComplete 14:57, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone know the vertical limit of airspace? I.e how high do satellites need to be to avoid a violation of airspace?

Good question. I think the Karman line is what everyone just "goes with" and nobody makes a fuss about it, but there's no international agreement I can find. Could make things interesting in the future. FireLordAang (talk) 05:13, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Removed Reqdiagram tag
Added a diagram to the main page of some special designations of airspace and removed tag.

Image
The image is somewhat unclear. It would be helpful to add a caption explaining what each class is.--160.39.206.248 (talk) 19:56, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation needed
Hi,

I added important information about the different airspace. My source is the FAA, in other words U.S. regulations. Although most countries use the same airspace rules and types I find it necessary to, somehow, disambiguate the topic stating something like: "the following airspace designation and rules are from the U.S. However, most countries have adapted this nomenclature making it somewhat universal".

Croston railway station

Croston railway station serves the small village of Croston, near Chorley in Lancashire, England; the station is on the Ormskirk Branch Line 7 mi south west of Preston. It is unstaffed and the old station buildings are now privately occupied.

The station was built & opened by the Liverpool, Ormskirk and Preston Railway (later taken over by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway) along with the line in April 1849. "Line" is the suitable word here, as along the way are clear signs of the former double track trunk route from Preston to Liverpool Exchange, which was severely rationalised (including the reduction to single line working) in 1970.

The line once carried numerous express trains to Glasgow Central Edinburgh, Blackpool North and the Lake District, though Croston was usually served only by local stopping services from Liverpool to Preston and Blackburn.

Trains connect at Ormskirk with Merseyrail services to Liverpool Central. Croston enjoys bus connections to nearby Leyland, Chorley, Southport, and Preston. It is on the B5247 into Bretherton.

The single platform still in use has a shelter & digital information screen, but has no ticket vending facilities. Step-free access is available for disabled travellers.

Services
Monday to Saturdays sees an hourly service operate each way to Preston and Ormskirk. There is no Sunday service.

KQV

KQV (1410 AM) is a non-commercial radio station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and covering the Greater Pittsburgh Region. Owned by Broadcast Educational Communications, the station simulcasts WKGO (88.1 FM) in Murrysville and airs an easy listening radio format. KQV is one of the oldest radio stations in North America.

The studios and transmitter are located on Lincoln Highway in North Versailles Township. KQV transmits 5,000 watts by day, but to avoid interfering with other stations on 1410 AM, it reduces power at night to 75 watts. It uses a non-directional antenna at all times.

Overview
Historically, KQV is recognized as one of the oldest radio stations in North America. Due to a complicated early history, the exact date of its founding has been variously stated as either November 19, 1919 (as an experimental station), in the fall of 1921, or on January 9, 1922, the last officially recognized by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

KQV is perhaps best recognized for two distinct eras: as a Top 40 station from 1958 to 1975, the majority of that time owned by the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), and as an all-news radio station from 1975 until the station suspended operations on December 31, 2017.

Experimental broadcasts
The FCC has traditionally listed KQV's establishment date as January 9, 1922. However, station management has generally traced its history to experimental broadcasts beginning on November 19, 1919, although documentation for this earlier period is limited. In addition, station co-founder F. C. Potts maintained that the station should be considered to be founded in late 1921, when the first license with the KQV call sign was issued. KQV's original owner was the Doubleday-Hill Electric Company, located at 719-721 Liberty Street in Pittsburgh. Doubleday-Hill was a well established seller of electrical equipment, whose offerings included radio equipment (then also called "wireless").

Applying for an amateur license
During World War I, the U.S. government had prohibited the operation of radio transmitters by civilians, and the ban wasn't lifted until October 1, 1919. Shortly thereafter, Doubleday-Hill's radio department manager, Florenz C. Potts, announced that the company was in the process of installing a De Forest radiotelephone transmitter, to be used for communication with a second station to be located at the company's branch store in Washington, D.C. A month later, in late November, Potts reported that the company had been unable to obtain the commercial license needed to operate the business plan. However, "a special amateur license has been applied for, to cover the wireless telephone demonstration station which the company has ordered installed and which is expected to be opened in the near future."

In late January 1920, it was announced that "The latest type of radiophone, developed and produced in the laboratory of Dr. Lee de Forest at New York, has just been installed in the downtown store of the Doubleday-Hill Electric Company. Arrangements have been made by this company with a local music store to furnish the latest phonograph records weekly for use in connection with wireless concerts to be given on a regular schedule. This schedule has not been definitely fixed, but will be announced in a short time. The fact that different records will be played for each concert should add greatly to the enjoyment derived therefrom by the radio amateurs of this locality. The phone will also be used by this company to announced new development in radio and other items of general interest to wireless amateurs."

Airing phonograph records
A week later, it was reported that "On last Tuesday evening (January 27, 1920), the Doubleday-Hill Electric Company made a preliminary test of their new radiophone equipment, by rendering a short concert of about 15 selections, including many popular numbers, as well as operatic and classical pieces." Two weeks later saw the announcement that "The radiophone musical concerts promised the local amateurs by Doubleday-Hill Co. will start this week and be given regularly hereafter on a schedule which is, for the present, Tuesday and Thursday evening, from 7 to 10 p. m. All the latest popular music will be played and records changed for each concert. Messrs. Williams and Devinney will operate the radiophone for these concerts."

A February 29 report further stated that "On Sunday evening, February 22, and Tuesday evening, February 24, wireless concerts were given by Doubleday-Hill Electric Company, using the DeForest radiophone, which was operated by Messrs. Williams and Devinney at the station of B. P. Williams, Orleans street, North Side. Reports were received from Washington, Vandergrift and other outlying towns that the music was being heard clearly, Mr. Williams states. A few days prior to this a test was made by these radio men for the Doubleday-Hill company, transmitting the voice and music to a station in Butler, Pa., very successfully."

Early call sign 8ZAE
KQV employees have generally traced the station's history back to Doubleday-Hill's initial 1919 activities, and a September 1934 newspaper article reported that the staff was in the process of preparing a celebration of the station's fifteenth birthday. (Many later recountings give a specific debut date of November 19, 1919.) Most accounts of Doubleday-Hill's earliest activities say that the initial broadcasts were transmitted using a Special Amateur station authorization, 8ZAE, issued to Burton P. Williams, a company employee living in Pittsburgh. (Contemporary information about licensed stations suggests that 8ZAE didn't receive its first license until late 1921, although it also reports that Williams previously held a license for a standard amateur station, 8EN.)

In late 1920, the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company in East Pittsburgh launched an ambitious broadcasting service, and its efforts soon overshadowed Doubleday-Hill's earlier broadcasts. Westinghouse's first station debuted on November 2, 1920, as 8ZZ, soon becoming KDKA. In 1946, a KDKA promotional pamphlet claimed that it had conducted "the world's first regularly scheduled broadcast." KQV, and a number of other stations, such as WWJ Detroit and KCBS San Francisco, countered that they had broadcasting histories that predated KDKA. Based on their heritages, both KQV and KDKA have claimed to being the oldest broadcasting station in Pennsylvania. (A local Westinghouse engineer, Frank Conrad in nearby Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, preceded both efforts, conducting a series of semi-regular entertainment broadcasts at his experimental station, 8XK, from his home's garage. They began on October 17, 1919.  He suspended his broadcasts shortly after KDKA debuted.)

Becoming KQV
In September 1921, it was announced that Doubleday-Hill was planning to install a high-powered station, which again was planned to be used primarily for two-way communication with a second proposed station located at its Washington, D.C. store. In addition, it was stated that the new station would "be used to give entertaining programs for amateur reception on certain evenings of each week". In October 1921 this new station was issued a Limited Commercial license, transmitting on 200 and 425 meters (1500 and 706 kHz), with the call letters KQV. KQV's call sign was randomly assigned, by later tradition it was said to stand for "King of the Quaker Valley," although from 1925 to 1931 the station's slogan was "The Smoky City Station."

KQV's initial license in the fall of 1921 was the first one issued in the name of Doubleday-Hill, and the first to receive the KQV call letters. Moreover, in the same September 1934 newspaper article in which the KQV staff dated the station's founding to the predecessor 1919 activities, F. C. Potts was quoted as stating that in his opinion KQV's founding shouldn't be considered to have occurred until two years later, when the first KQV license was issued, endorsing an earlier slogan that the station was "On the Air since 1921."

Unusual call sign
Beginning in 1912 the normal practice had been to issue call letters starting with "K" only to land stations located in the western United States. It is unclear why KQV was not assigned a call sign starting with "W," which was the standard practice for stations located in the east.

For the first half century of radio, KQV; KDKA; KFIZ in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin; and KYW, first in Chicago and now in Philadelphia, have been the only AM radio stations, still broadcasting to this day, with K call signs in eastern states. (In recent years, a handful of other K call signs have gone on the air in the east. Most are non-commercial FM stations whose construction permits were granted in the west but later were relocated to the east.)

KQV's early years
From 1912 to 1927, the Department of Commerce regulated U.S. radio, and initially there were no specific restrictions on stations wanting to engage in broadcasting entertainment to the general public. The first formal standards were adopted effective December 1, 1921, which specified that broadcasting stations had to hold a "Limited Commercial License" that also authorized operation on the "entertainment" wavelength of 360 meters (833 kHz) or the "market and weather reports" wavelength of 485 meters (619 kHz). At the time this regulation was adopted, a small number of stations already met the new requirements. This did not include KQV, which although it held a Limited Commercial License, wasn't authorized to transmit on either of the broadcasting wavelengths. On January 9, 1922, Doubleday-Hill was issued a new Limited Commercial License for KQV, which now included an authorization to transmit on the 360-meter entertainment wavelength. For this reason FCC records generally list January 9, 1922, as KQV's "Date First Licensed". KQV's original studio and transmitter were located on the ninth floor of the Doubleday-Hill building, with a transmitting antenna that stretched across the street. G. Brown Hill, a company vice president, was initially responsible for the station's development. At its start, its primary purpose was to promote the sale of radio receivers, and KQV remained commercial-free until 1925. On November 11, 1928, a major reallocation resulting from the Federal Radio Commission's General Order 40 assigned KQV to a "regional" frequency, 1380 kHz. In 1932 the station was sold to H. J. Brennan, and the studios moved to the Chamber of Commerce building. On March 29, 1941, under the provisions of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement, all the stations on 1380 kHz were shifted to 1410 kHz, which has been KQV's frequency ever since.

In 1944, the station was sold to Allegheny Broadcasting. The sale was necessary because both KQV and WJAS were under common ownership, and the FCC no longer permitted multiple AM station ownership within a community. A 1947 station advertisement, promoting its power increase to 5,000 watts, described KQV as "Pittsburgh's Aggressive Station".

"The Groovy QV"
In 1957, the station was once again sold, this time to American Broadcasting-Paramount Theatres, then the corporate parent of ABC Radio. During the late 1950s, 1960s and 1970s KQV was quite successful as a Top 40 station, with Count John K. Chapel a popular radio personality during most of this period. Known over the years as "Colorful KQV," "Audio 14," "Groovy QV," and "The Big 14," KQV debuted its Top 40 format on January 13, 1958, and is remembered for its high-profile, high-energy personalities, such as Robert Wolfson a.k.a. Bob Wilson, Chuck Brinkman, Hal Murray, Dave Scott, Steve Rizen, Dex Allen, Jim Quinn, future game show announcer Rod Roddy, and their large-scale promotion of a Beatles concert at Pittsburgh's Civic Arena in 1964. During this time, KQV broadcast from its showcase studios on the ground floor of the Chamber of Commerce Building ("on the corner of Walk and Don't Walk," as the DJs would say) in downtown Pittsburgh, where the disk jockeys could be watched through a large window.

The station was dominant among young listeners throughout the 1960s, and was a major force introducing Pittsburgh to new music and artists such as Sonny & Cher, the Rolling Stones, the Supremes, the Beach Boys, the Dave Clark Five and others. KQV ratings began to slowly decline after 1970, with the advent of competition from WJAS and the rise of FM radio (including its then-sister station 102.5 WDVE, which had begun operation in 1948 as KQV-FM). One of KQV's Top 40 personalities in the 1970s, with the on-air name of "Jeff Christie," later became famous as a talk show host under his real name, Rush Limbaugh.

In 1974, another upstart competitor — AM station "13Q" WKTQ, the former (and current) WJAS — also made serious inroads competing against KQV, which briefly turned to the "14K" brand. At the end of the year, ABC Radio sold both KQV and WDVE to Cincinnati-based Taft Broadcasting. Taft made another attempt at Top 40 on KQV, this time with a far more radical presentation, with Joey Reynolds as program director, before dropping the format altogether. Its final night as a Top 40 station was October 14, 1975, with Neil Diamond's "Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show" played as the final song.

"All-News, All the Time"
The next morning, October 15, 1975, KQV switched to an all-news format, carrying NBC Radio's 24-hour News and Information Service. Even though NBC cancelled this service two years later, KQV continued as an all-news station using local anchors and reporters.

In 1982, Taft executives told KQV's general manager, Robert W. Dickey Sr. (no relation to the Dickey family that founded the Cumulus Media conglomerate), that it intended to sell the station. Hoping to avoid a potential format change that often results from an ownership shift, Dickey decided to make a bid to buy the station. He received financial backing from newspaper publisher Richard Mellon Scaife and together they formed Calvary, Inc., purchasing the station from Taft that same year. KQV was the sole radio station owned by Calvary.

KQV remained an all-news station from 1975 until its sign-off at the end of 2017. After the end of the NBC News and Information Service in 1977, it affiliated with CBS Radio News and later with ABC News Radio. For a time, it used the audio from CNN Headline News late nights and weekends, and later aired some syndicated talk shows nights and weekends. Steve Lohle was a fixture as KQV's afternoon news anchor for 34 years, until his death on June 20, 2008, of an apparent heart attack. Retired weekend anchor Bob Sprague also died of an apparent heart attack, in July 2010. He had anchored weekends for more than 25 years until his retirement.

Robert W. Dickey Sr. died on December 24, 2011. His estate remained a partner in the station's ownership, with Robert W. Dickey Jr. succeeding his father as general manager. On May 14, 2013, it was announced that Richard Mellon Scaife was selling his shares in KQV to the Dickey family, giving the Dickeys full ownership. Scaife died a year later. Dickey Jr.'s sister and station co-owner, Cheryl Scott, died in November 2017 at age 65. The loss of these KQV executives took a toll on the station remaining financially viable.

2017 suspension of broadcasting
On December 15, 2017, Robert Dickey Jr. announced that KQV would suspend broadcasting on December 31, 2017. In a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette interview Dickey cited his sister's death as the primary reason for the pending shutdown, also noting that all-news radio was becoming too expensive to support in an industry where advertising revenues were declining. He also stated that he did not want to change KQV's format because all-news was the only one he knew or wanted to air on the station. No on-air mentions of KQV's suspension were planned until its sign-off day, although in the interim he remained open to offers to buy the station.

At the time of this announcement, KQV was broadcasting the all-news format, first adopted in 1975, each weekday, consisting of news, sports, traffic, business reports and weather, from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. The programming was similar to that of other traditional all-news stations, featuring "Traffic and Weather on the Eights," sports at :15 and :45 past each hour, and business news at :20 and :50 past. Primary weekday anchors were P.J. Maloney, Joe Fenn, Bruce Sakalik, and Dan Weinberg. In 2011, the station had re-affiliated with ABC News Radio for the first time since its days as an ABC Radio owned-and-operated station, carrying its top-of-the-hour newscasts.

During evenings, the station broadcast syndicated conservative talk radio host Lars Larson, When Radio Was (a series featuring classic radio programs such as Suspense and The Jack Benny Show) and Red Eye Radio from Westwood One. A weekly radio series, known as "Imagination Theater", was broadcast on Sundays. The station also carried public affairs programs such as Pittsburgh Profiles and Pittsburgh Global Press Conference, in addition to live sporting events, including NFL football, Penn State University football, and WPIAL football and basketball, as well as the Triple Crown and Masters updates.

KQV suspended operations on December 31, 2017. Dickey Jr. issued a personal on-air farewell following the station's usual programming, thanking the listeners for their continued support and wishing them a final farewell, before the signal went dark. At the time it went silent, KQV was operating with 5,000 watts, with different directional patterns for day and night, from a five-tower transmitter site in Ross Township. Since 1993, the main studio had been located in Pittsburgh's Centre City Tower.

Return
Because the owners did not turn in KQV's license for cancellation, the station was permitted to resume operations by Calvary or a new owner. However, station licenses are subject to automatic cancellation pursuant to the Telecommunications Act of 1996 if a station remains off-the-air continuously for one calendar year, although any resumption of broadcasting, even temporarily for a single day, resets the start of the one-year deadline period. Even though Dickey did not actively solicit buyers, press reports of the station's situation drew a number of interested potential buyers, although the Ross Township transmitter site and tower were not included because the land on which KQV's towers had been located was slated for sale as developmental real estate.

Longtime Pittsburgh broadcaster Chris Lash gave serious consideration to buying KQV before deciding instead to invest in a station near Buffalo, New York, in a similar situation, WSPQ. On January 30, 2018, Calvary sold KQV's license and equipment for $55,000 to Broadcast Communications Inc., headed by Robert and Ashley Stevens, owners of Pittsburgh-area stations WKVE, WKFB, WKHB, WKHB-FM, WEDO, and WANB. The Stevens' plan included resuming KQV's broadcasts from WEDO's transmitter site in North Versailles, Pennsylvania. The agreement also included a stipulation that one of the parties was to file for an FM translator. Calvary applied on January 31, but the application was dismissed due to missing paperwork.

On February 5, Broadcast Communications applied for permission to make the transmitter move to WEDO's existing transmitter site. Broadcast Communications' acquisition of the station was consummated on May 19, 2018. A second application was later filed to assign the station to a nonprofit subsidiary, Broadcast Educational Communications, Inc., which would modify KQV's license to non-commercial status. That transaction was consummated on September 24, 2018.

KQV briefly signed back on from May 12, 2018 to June 4, resetting the one-year counter on its license expiration, but still needed to find a permanent broadcasting site. The station held a remain-silent Special Temporary Authority (STA) while it awaited the necessary equipment for the WEDO diplex. The station again temporarily signed on in January 2019. A Special Temporary Authority request filed in October of that year listed a scheduled permanent return date of November 2019.

KQV ultimately returned to the air December 19, 2019, simulcasting easy listening station WKGO. The transmitter relocation to diplex with WEDO's tower resulted in a switch to a non-directional antenna, which required a nighttime power reduction to 75 watts, thus a downgrade from Class B to Class D.

Mount Pleasant Radio Observatory

The Mount Pleasant Radio Observatory is a radio astronomy based observatory owned and operated by University of Tasmania, located 20 km east of Hobart in Cambridge, Tasmania. It is home to three radio astronomy antennas and the Grote Reber Museum.

Equipment
The observatory has two active radio telescopes: the Mount Pleasant 26 m antenna and a 12 m AuScope VLBI Antenna. The Observatory is linked to the University of Tasmania's Hobart campus with a 25 km fibre optic cable, installed in 2007.

The 14 m Vela telescope that was constructed in 1981 as a dedicated instrument for observation of the Vela Pulsar has been decommissioned since 2006 and is in the process of being refurbished. The telescope used to track the pulsar 18 hours a day, nearly continuously for over 20 years.

The 26 m Radio dish came from the Orroral Valley Tracking Station, ACT, where it was used as a satellite tracker within the Spacecraft Tracking and Data Acquisition Network and then for support to NASA crewed missions. The 26 m telescope is used in Australia's very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) network.

Other Telescopes
The University of Tasmania also operates three other radio astronomy antennas: the 30 m Ceduna Radio Observatory (SA) and two additional AuScope 12 m antennas at Katherine (NT) and Yaragadee (WA).

The University also owns and operates the Bisdee Tier Optical Astronomy Observatory. The Canopus Hill Observatory is closed.

Grote Reber Museum
There is also a museum on site dedicated to the life and works of Grote Reber. It contains some of his ashes and a state of the art 3D theatre. It also discusses the major role Tasmania plays in radiophysics The museum hosts about 5000 visitors annually and runs several Open Days each year. University of Tasmania students also act as tour guides as part of their studies.

Spanish ship Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad

Nuestra Señora de la Santísima Trinidad, nicknamed La Real, was a Spanish first-rate ship of the line and was the largest warship in the world when launched. She originally had 112 guns; this was increased in 1795–96 to 130 guns by closing in the spar deck between the quarterdeck and forecastle, and to 136 guns around 1802 (plus 4 small guns on the poop), thus creating what was in effect a continuous fourth gundeck although the extra guns added were actually relatively small. She was the heaviest-armed ship in the world when rebuilt, and bore the most guns of any ship of the line outfitted in the Age of Sail.

Design and construction
She was built at Havana, Cuba, to a design by Irish naval architect Matthew Mullan (domiciled in Spain under the name Mateo Mullán), originally intended as a ship of 112 guns. He died on 25 November 1767, and the construction of the ship was continued by his son, Ignacio Mullán. The ship was launched in March 1769 and completed in August 1769 as a 116-gun three-decker. She was considerably larger than her British contemporary HMS Victory and somewhat bigger than the French FRENCH SHIP Bretagne.

There is no complete plan of the ship in existence, but there are of the 112-gun ship from 1765, from which the original dimensions of the ship may be found. Here, the units of length are the Spanish Burgos foot (27.86 cm) and the SI metre (100 cm), respectively: length = 213$2/3$ (59.53); keel = 182$5/12$ (50.82); beam = 57$3/4$ (16.09); draught = 28$11/12$ (8.06).

She was reputed to be the largest warship in the world, for which she was nicknamed El Escorial de los mares by the Spanish, until surpassed in sheer size by the new type French 120-gun ships such as FRENCH SHIP Océan and FRENCH SHIP Orient. In 1795, her forecastle was joined to her quarterdeck to create a fourth deck containing a battery of eight pounder guns, giving her a total of 130 guns. Her armament seems to have been quickly reduced to 130 from 136 guns, but she still carried more guns than any other ship of her time.

The weight of the additional guns, so high above her waterline, made her poor sailing qualities even worse, leading to her other nickname El Ponderoso. Some naval officers suggested that she should be restricted to defending the Bay of Cádiz.

Santísima Trinidad remains notable as one of the few four-decker ships of the line ever built. The U.S. Navy constructed the four-deck, 136-gun USS Pennsylvania (1837) and the French Navy, the 120-gun FRENCH SHIP Valmy (both with similar flush deck arrangement). The Royal Navy planned – but did not build – the 170-gun four-decker HMS Duke of Kent.

Service
In July 1779, Spain declared war on Great Britain, joining France in support of the American colonists in the American War of Independence. Santísima Trinidad became the flagship of the Spanish fleet, taking part in the Franco-Spanish operations in the English Channel in the late summer of that year.

On 12 August 1780 she took part in the capture of 55 merchant ships from a convoy of 63, escorted by the ship of the line HMS Ramillies (1763) and three frigates. In 1782 she was incorporated into the Mediterranean Squadron, participating in the Great Siege of Gibraltar and she fought in the brief and indecisive Battle of Cape Spartel. In 1795, she was modified by the addition of extra 8-pounder guns on a new deck between her forecastle and quarterdeck.

In 1797, she was the flagship of Teniente General José de Córdoba y Ramos, the Spanish commander, at Battle of Cape St Vincent on 14 February 1797, where she was badly damaged and nearly captured by the British fleet. She was first in action with the British ship HMS Captain (1787) (74), commanded by Commodore Nelson, and HMS Culloden (1776) (74). She was then attacked by the HMS Blenheim (1761) (90), HMS Orion (1787) (74), HMS Irresistible (1782) (74) and HMS Excellent (1787) (74). By now she was severely damaged, having lost all her masts and with half of her crew killed or wounded. She struck her colours, but the British failed to take possession and she was saved by the Infante don Pelayo (74) and SPANISH SHIP Principe de Asturias (112).

Several days later, Santísima Trinidad was spotted, still damaged, making her way back to Spain, and engaged by the 32-gun frigate HMS Terpsichore (1785) under Captain Richard Bowen, but she escaped. She eventually returned to Cadiz for repairs.

Eight years later, commanded by Francisco Javier Uriarte and the flagship of Rear Admiral Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros, she took part in the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805 as part of the combined Franco-Spanish fleet. Due to her great bulk, her helm was unresponsive in the light winds on the day, contributing to her ineffective service in the combined fleet's cause. Her great size and position immediately ahead of the fleet flagship FRENCH SHIP Bucentaure made her a target for the British fleet, and she came under concentrated attack by several ships, even though it managed to engage seven enemy vessels and inflict impressive casualties to the British flagship. She lost her mast and eventually surrendered with 200 dead and a hundred wounded to the HMS Neptune (1797), a 98-gun second rate commanded by Captain Thomas Fremantle. She was taken in tow by the 98-gun second rate HMS Prince (1788), but was eventually scuttled by her British captors northwest of Cádiz.

It is possible that her wreck was found by coincidence during testing of a new sidescan sonar of the Spanish Navy, in 2009. An earlier attempt to find her wreck was inconclusive as lack of visual evidence could not confirm the identity of the ships found.

Replicas
A full-size representation of the Santísima Trinidad could be seen in the harbour of Alicante, in Spain. It worked as a restaurant, but has been closed. To allow regeneration works to the marina area, where the ship's mooring has now become an extended boardwalk, the replica was towed outside of the harbour and left moored on the seaward side of the breakwater. Here, close to the Panoramis centre, the ship gradually became a rotting hulk, with most of the masts and rigging collapsed onto the main deck. As of summer 2024, the vessel has completely vanished. There are unsubstantiated rumours of its being towed to Cape Verde.

A non-profit non-governmental Canadian association, the Friends of Santísima Trinidad, assisted the Office of the Historian of the City of Havana, Cuba with the construction of a new 1:25 four-metre-long scale model of La Santísima Trinidad. Interior construction details are exposed on one side of the vessel, and visitors are able to use a computer interface and touch screen to take a virtual tour of the ship in Spanish, English, and French. The model is displayed in the Naval Museum of La Habana, opened in June 2008 at Castillo de la Real Fuerza, the oldest building in Cuba and the oldest stone fortress in the New World.

Rufford railway station

Rufford railway station, opened on 2 April 1849, serves the village of Rufford in Lancashire, England. The station is (9½ miles) south west of Preston on the Preston-Ormskirk branch service. The line was formerly the Liverpool, Ormskirk and Preston Railway, which was quickly merged into the East Lancashire Railway on 3 August 1846; this in turn was merged into the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in May 1859.

The level crossing runs across the B5246, the aptly named "Station Road". This is supervised from the nearby signal box, which also controls the only passing loop on the otherwise single track branch line.

History
Direct trains to Liverpool via Ormskirk (and also to Blackburn and East Lancashire) were withdrawn from Rufford station in October 1969, though Liverpool trains continued to run through non-stop until May of the following year. From July 1970, Rufford became the only passing point on the truncated Preston-Ormskirk branch line after the Midge Hall to Ormskirk section was singled. Over that same summer the station was rebuilt, with its wooden platforms and substantial station building demolished and replaced with more functional and basic facilities.

Until the late 1980s, peak-hour trains on the Preston-Ormskirk line continued to cross at Rufford station. Thereafter the timetable was further reduced, leaving the branch line to be operated by a single DMU running essentially along a long siding. Rufford's Victorian signal box was demolished in October 1988 and replaced with a portakabin like structure on the site of the former station building.

Over the past twenty five years, changes in the station's layout and traction have been minimal. The portakabin signal box was due to close, along with that at Midge Hall, in 2017. However as of summer 2023 this has yet to happen. Network Rail plans to automate the crossing here, remove the loop and raise the line speed to 75 mph to allow a more frequent timetable to operate. The crossings trackbed was dug up and re-laid in 2018 in preparation for the automation of the crossing but this has of yet (Summer 2023) to be carried out.

Service
On Mondays to Saturdays there is a service westbound to Ormskirk to connect with the Merseyrail service to Liverpool Central and eastbound to Preston every hour. This is an improvement on the former irregular frequency (twelve per day each way) operated under previous timetables.

There is no Sunday service. A normal service operates on Bank holidays.

Florent Vollant

Florent Vollant (born August 10, 1959 in Labrador) is a Canadian singer-songwriter. An Innu from Maliotenam, Quebec, he was half of the popular folk music duo Kashtin, one of the most significant musical groups in First Nations history. He has subsequently released four solo albums.

In 1997, Vollant built his own recording studio – Makusham – on the reserve which is used by musicians inside and outside the community. His solo album Puamuna, which means 'dreams' in Innu, was the first time Vollant recorded a full album in his own studio. His Innu-language album of Christmas songs, Nipaiamianan, earned him an apostolic blessing from Pope John Paul II, as well as the Juno Award for Aboriginal Recording of the Year in 2001.

In 2020, he served as executive producer of Call Me Human (Je m'appelle humain), Kim O'Bomsawin's documentary film about Innu poet Joséphine Bacon. In 2023 he served as an executive producer on O'Bomsawin's documentary television series Telling Our Story.

He is also a mentor to Nikamu Mamuitun, a collective of emerging First Nations musicians including Marcie Michaud-Gagnon, Joëlle St-Pierre, Kanen, Chloé Lacasse, Scott-Pien Picard, Matiu, Cédrik St-Onge and Ivan Boivin.

He won the Félix Award for Indigenous Artist of the Year at the 41st Félix Awards in 2019.

Pancreatic pseudocyst

A pancreatic pseudocyst is a circumscribed collection of fluid rich in pancreatic enzymes, blood, and non-necrotic tissue, typically located in the lesser sac of the abdomen. Pancreatic pseudocysts are usually complications of pancreatitis, although in children they frequently occur following abdominal trauma. Pancreatic pseudocysts account for approximately 75% of all pancreatic masses.

Signs and symptoms
Signs and symptoms of pancreatic pseudocyst include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting and lack of appetite.

Complications
Complications of pancreatic pseudocysts include infection, hemorrhage, obstruction and rupture. For obstruction, it can cause compression in the GI tract from the stomach to colon, compression in urinary system, biliary system, and arteriovenous system.

Causes
Pancreatic pseudocyst can occur due to a variety of reasons, among them pancreatitis (chronic), pancreatic neoplasm and/or pancreatic trauma.

Pathophysiology
Pancreatic pseudocysts are sometimes called false cysts because they do not have an epithelial lining. The wall of the pseudocyst is vascular and fibrotic, encapsulated in the area around the pancreas. Pancreatitis or abdominal trauma can cause its formation. Treatment usually depends on the mechanism that brought about the pseudocyst. Pseudocysts take up to 6 weeks to completely form.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocyst can be based on cyst fluid analysis:
 * Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA-125 (low in pseudocysts and elevated in tumors);
 * Fluid viscosity (low in pseudocysts and elevated in tumors);
 * Amylase (usually high in pseudocysts and low in tumors)

The most useful imaging tools are:
 * Ultrasonography – the role of ultrasonography in imaging the pancreas is limited by patient habitus, operator experience and the fact that the pancreas lies behind the stomach (and so a gas-filled stomach will obscure the pancreas).
 * Computerized tomography – this is the gold standard for initial assessment and follow-up.
 * Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) – to establish the relationship of the pseudocyst to the pancreatic ducts, though not routinely used

Treatment
Pancreatic pseudocyst treatment should be aimed at avoiding any complication (1 in 10 cases become infected). They also tend to rupture, and have shown that larger cysts have a higher likelihood to become more symptomatic, even needing surgery. If no signs of infection are present, initial treatment may include conservative measures such as bowel rest (NPO), parenteral nutrition (TPN), and observation. If symptoms do not improve, then endoscopic drainage may be necessary. The majority of pseudocysts can be treated endoscopically; surgical intervention is rarely necessary.

In the event of surgery:
 * Cystogastrostomy: In this surgical procedure a connection is created between the back wall of the stomach and the cyst such that the cyst drains into the stomach.
 * Cystojejunostomy: In this procedure a connection is created between the cyst and the small intestine so that the cyst fluid directly into the small intestine.
 * Cystoduodenostomy: In this procedure a connection is created between the duodenum (the first part of the intestine) and the cyst to allow drainage of the cyst content into duodenum. The type of surgical procedure depends on the location of the cyst. For pseudocysts that occur in the head of the pancreas a cystoduodenostomy is usually performed.

Massachusetts Route 118

Route 118 is a 16.88 mi north-south state highway in Bristol County, Massachusetts. Its southern terminus is at U.S. Route 6 (US 6) in Swansea and its northern terminus is at Route 123 in Attleboro. Along the way it intersects US 44 in Rehoboth.

Route description
Route 118 begins at U.S. Route 6 just east of I-195's Exit 3. The route, which begins as Swansea Mall Drive, passes Swansea Mall and the Swansea Crossing shopping center before crossing Wood Street and turning into Oak Street. At the end of Oak Street, Route 118 turns onto Locust Street briefly before turning onto Plain Street and entering Rehoboth.

In Rehoboth, the route heads northward, turning shortly westward along Brook Street before turning north on Moulton Street, which turns into Bay State Road near the town center before crossing U.S. Route 44. Route 118 then becomes Anawan Street, passing northward until it meets Tremont Street in North Rehoboth. The route then turns westward before bearing northwestward on Park Street into Attleboro. Park Street passes through Briggs Corner and passing the Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette, known for its massive display of Christmas lights. The route then splits between Park Street (Southbound) and Emory Street (Northbound). The southbound side passes Sturdy Memorial Hospital and the City Hall before both streets end at Route 123, just east of the main rail route between Boston and Providence.

Neurological Institute of New York

The Neurological Institute of New York, is an American hospital research center located at 710 West 168th Street at the corner of Fort Washington Avenue in the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital / Columbia University Medical Center in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.

History
The institute was founded in 1909 by Joseph Collins, Charles Elsberg (Columbia University P&S neurosurgery chair from 1909 to 1937), Joseph Fraenkel, and Pearce Bailey, as the first hospital and research center in the western hemisphere devoted solely to neurological disorders. From 1910 to 1911, Barbara Spofford Morgan directed the psychological clinic.

The Neurological Institute began teaching medical students at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1921, became affiliated with Presbyterian Hospital – now NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital – in 1925, and merged with it in 1943. It consists of a department of academic neurology and a department of neurological surgery.

The Chair of the Department of Neurology at Columbia College of Physicians & Surgeons is simultaneously the Neurologist-in-Chief of NewYork-Presbyterian / Columbia.

John Muir National Historic Site

The John Muir National Historic Site is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, in Martinez, Contra Costa County, California. It preserves the 14-room Italianate Victorian mansion where the naturalist and writer John Muir lived, as well as a nearby 325-acre (132 ha) tract of native oak woodlands and grasslands historically owned by the Muir family. The main site is on the edge of town, in the shadow of State Route 4, also known as the "John Muir Parkway."

Mansion
The mansion was built in 1883 by Dr. John Strentzel, Muir's father-in-law, with whom Muir went into partnership, managing his 2600 acre fruit ranch. Muir and his wife, Louisa, moved into the house in 1890, and he lived there until his death in 1914.

Alhambra Trestle
In 1897, for the sum of $10, Muir and Louisa ceded a right of way to the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad. The document describes the land upon which the Alhambra Trestle is located. The railway was completed in 1900 and used by the Muirs to ship their fruit.

Preservationist
While living here, Muir realized many of his greatest accomplishments, co-founding and serving as the first president of the Sierra Club, in the wake of his battle to prevent Yosemite National Park's Hetch Hetchy Valley from being dammed, playing a prominent role in the creation of several national parks, writing hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles and several books expounding on the virtues of conservation and the natural world, and laying the foundations for the creation of the National Park Service in 1916.

The home contains Muir's "scribble den," as he called his study, and his original desk, where he wrote about many of the ideas that are the bedrock of the modern conservation movement.

Archive and Landmark
The Muir house was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1960.

It became a National Historic Site in 1964, is California Historical Landmark #312 and a National Historic Landmark, and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1988 nearby Mount Wanda Nature Preserve (named for one of John Muir's two daughters) was added to the Historic Site.

The John Muir National Historic Site offers a biographical film, tours of the house and nature walks on Mount Wanda.

The site includes the Vicente Martínez Adobe.

Do not falsify sources
It is not permissible to change facts, in the lead section or anywhere else, that are cited to specific sources, and make them say something different from what those sources say.

If you think one of the sources is wrong, then open a talk page discussion and provide better sources. If you have additional facts to add, then add them with new sources, without making it look like they came from sources already cited. The changes I reverted here were outright source falsification, and there may be more of them.

"Meyers Manx is the (uncredited) inspiration for the VW I.D. Buggy that debuted in Geneva"
Per WSJ car columnist Dan Neill, https://www.wsj.com/articles/geneva-auto-show-legends-are-being-reborn-as-evs-11551984455, March 7, 2019

 * The Meyers Manx is the (uncredited) inspiration for the VW I.D. Buggy that debuted in Geneva this week. Like the Manx, which was built atop the air-cooled, rear-engine chassis of a VW Beetle, the I.D. Buggy’s composite body snap-fits on VW’s modular electric drive matrix, also known as the MEB platform. “Size, battery and drive are all scalable,” said Frank Welsch, board member in charge of technical development, VW brand. “This makes it possible for us to configure them differently in various models for different segments. The I.D. Buggy is a fascinating demonstration of this.”

 * I should note Mr. Meyers is still very much with us. Hi Bruce. Greetings from Geneva.

Lysanias

Lysanias was the ruler of a small realm on the western slopes of Mount Hermon, mentioned by the Jewish historian Josephus and in coins from c. 40 BC. There is also mention of a Lysanias in Luke's Gospel.

Lysanias in Josephus
Lysanias was the ruler of a tetrarchy, centered on the town of Abila. This has been referred to by various names including Abilene, Chalcis and Iturea, from about 40-36 BC. Josephus is our main source for his life.

The father of Lysanias was Ptolemy, son of Mennaeus, who ruled the tetrarchy before him. Ptolemy was married to Alexandra, one of the sisters of Antigonus, and he helped his brother-in-law during the latter's successful attempt to claim the throne of Judea in 40 BC with the military support of the Parthians. Ptolemy had previously supported Antigonus's unsuccessful attempt to take the throne of Judea in 42 BC.

Josephus says in The Jewish War that Lysanias offered the Parthian satrap Barzapharnes a thousand talents and 500 women to bring Antigonus back and raise him to the throne, after deposing Hyrcanus though in his later work, the Jewish Antiquities, he says the offer was made by Antigonus. In 33 BC Lysanias was put to death by Mark Antony for his Parthian sympathies, at the instigation of Cleopatra, who had eyes on his territories.

Coins from his reign indicate that he was "tetrarch and high priest". The same description can be found on the coins of his father, Ptolemy son of Mennaeus and on those of his son Zenodorus who held the territory in 23–20 BC.

Lysanias in Luke
Luke 3:1 mentions a Lysanias (Λυσανίας) as tetrarch of Abilene in the time of John the Baptist.

According to Josephus the emperor Claudius in 42 AD confirmed Agrippa I in the possession of Abila of Lysanias already bestowed upon him by Caligula, elsewhere described as Abila, which had formed the tetrarchy of Lysanias:

 * "He added to it the kingdom of Lysanias, and that province of Abilene"

Archaeological Lysanias
Two inscriptions have been ascribed to Lysanias. The name is conjectural in the latter case.

The first, a temple inscription found at Abila, named Lysanias as the Tetrarch of the locality.

The temple inscription reads:

It has been thought that the reference to August lords as a joint title was given only to the emperor Tiberius (adopted son of Augustus) and his mother Livia (widow of Augustus). If this analysis is correct, this reference would establish the date of the inscription to between 14 AD (when Tiberius began to reign) and 29 AD (when Livia died), and thus could not be reasonably interpreted as referring to the ruler executed by Mark Antony in 36 BC. However, Livia received suitable honors while Augustus was still alive, such as "Benefactor Goddess" (Θεα Εύεργέτις) at a temple at Thassos, so there would be no clear reason that "August Lords" could not be Augustus and Livia.

Possible identity of the two figures
The reference to Lysanias in Luke 3:1, dated to the fifteenth year of Tiberius, has caused some debate over whether this Lysanias is the same person son of Ptolemy, or some different person.

Some say that the Lysanias whose tetrarchy was given to Agrippa cannot be the Lysanias executed by Antony, since his paternal inheritance, even allowing for some curtailment by Pompey, must have been of far greater extent. Therefore, the Lysanias in Luke (28–29) is a younger Lysanias, tetrarch of Abilene only, one of the districts into which the original kingdom was split up after the death of Lysanias I. This younger Lysanias may have been a son of the latter, and identical with, or the father of, the Claudian Lysanias.

But Josephus does not refer to a second Lysanias. It is therefore suggested by others that he really does refer to the original Lysanias, even though the latter died decades earlier. In The Jewish War Josephus refers to the realm as being "called the kingdom of Lysanias", while Ptolemy writing c. 120 in his Geography Bk 5 refers to Abila as "called of Lysanias"

The explanation given by M. Krenkel (Josephus und Lucas, Leipzig, 1894, p. 97) is that Josephus does not mean to imply that Abila was the only possession of Lysanias, and that he calls it the tetrarchy or kingdom of Lysanias because it was the last remnant of the domain of Lysanias which remained under direct Roman administration until the time of Agrippa.

Burscough Junction railway station

Burscough Junction pronounced (Burs/co Junction) is one of two railway stations serving the town of Burscough in Lancashire, England. It is sited on the Ormskirk Branch Line, 2+1/2 mi north of Ormskirk and is served by Northern Trains. The station was the scene of the Burscough Junction rail accident in 1880.

Service
The line sees a Monday–Saturday service of approximately every hour each way (since the May 2018 timetable change), with northbound services running through to Blackpool South (though not advertised as such in the timetable). There is no Sunday service.

History
The station opened in April 1849, and enjoyed a regular service to numerous destinations, including Preston, Blackburn, Southport and Liverpool.

A serious railway accident occurred near the station in 1880 (for full details see Burscough Junction rail accident). After the locomotive swapped ends of the train at Burscough Junction it should have swapped line on departure for Liverpool, but the points had not been set to swap tracks, and so it proceeded straight on and it met the express from Liverpool, head on, at some distance down the line.

From the autumn of 1968, stopping express services to Scotland and the Lake District were withdrawn. In October of the following year, through trains to Blackburn also ceased and the remaining Blackpool to Liverpool stopping service was cut back to Ormskirk, leaving only local services and a few non-stop expresses; the line was severed entirely at Ormskirk from 4 May 1970. Singling followed at the end of June 1970. Unlike the other stations at Croston and Rufford, Burscough Junction retained its station buildings for a few years. These were demolished at the end of 1973, and replaced with the current, extremely basic, arrangement.

Interchange
The other station in Burscough is Burscough Bridge, and is only ten minutes away by foot. The name "Junction" is an anachronism: similar to Dalston Junction in London, the station no longer serves such a purpose.

Facilities
Only one platform remains in use, with basic shelters and a long-line public address system. There are ticket machines which require card, so passengers paying cash will need to pay on the train. The platform is fully DDA-compliant, with step free access from the main entrance on Station Lane.

Burscough Curves
During the rail restructuring of the 1960s and 1970s, the "Burscough Curves", which formed a link between the Ormskirk-Preston and Southport-Wigan lines were removed, although the formation survives. The North Curve was taken out of use and severed in July 1969, being lifted in 1973: it was last used for a Saturdays only empty train from Blackpool to Southport. The South Curve was singled in 1970, but remained in use to serve the extensive sidings at the MOD depot located just to the north of Burscough Junction station. It saw its last train in 1982.

The passenger service from Ormskirk to Burscough Junction and on to Southport, which used the southern curve, was withdrawn in 1962 as can be seen from the British Rail London Midland Region Timetable of that year.

Pressure from local transport groups, West Lancashire Borough Council and former Southport MP John Pugh has not so far persuaded Network Rail to reinstate the curves. Various schemes have been proposed, including the full electrification of the line from Southport via Burscough to Ormskirk using the same third rail system as Merseyrail. This proposal would allow users of the Ormskirk branch of Merseyrail's Northern Line to reach Southport without having to travel via Sandhills.

In June 2009, the Association of Train Operating Companies, in its Connecting Communities: Expanding Access to the Rail Network report, called for funding for the reopening of this line as part of a £500m scheme to open 33 stations on 14 lines closed in the Beeching Axe, including seven new parkway stations. The uses of the curves in a new service pattern has been identified by Network Rail, if electrified along with the through lines.

Additionally, Network Rail has identified electrification of Wigan to Southport, together with the Ormskirk to Preston Line and the Burscough Curves as a possible source of new services.

Battery trains as enabler to open the curves
The New Merseyrail Fleet A Platform For Future Innovations document, mentions regarding Ormskirk-Preston enhancements, that there is the potential to use battery powered Merseyrail units that may improve the business case for opening the curves. The document states there will be a review after the Merseyrail units have been tested for battery operation in 2020.

MP unification
In March 2020, the MPs for Southport, South Ribble, West Lancs and Preston (Damien Moore, Katherine Fletcher, Rosie Cooper and Sir Mark Hendrick) along with Lancashire County Council leader Geoff Driver united in a bid to pressure Network Rail and the Government to reinstate the curves.

In March 2021 the council made a formal application to the Department for Transport for funding to reopen the curves.

In November 2021 it was announced that the bid for £50,000 to fund a feasibility study was rejected by the Department for Transport.

Through-trains
There is now no physical connection between the electric Merseyrail line at Ormskirk, and the Ormskirk-Preston line; passengers travelling from Liverpool must change to a diesel train at Ormskirk to continue to Preston. With someone of the new Class 777 Merseyrail fleet being able to work solely on battery power, this does make through services once again possible in theory.

Intro
I joined Wikipedia Sunday, August 28, 2005. I actualy had only found out the other day. While I had heard of its existance, I had no idea what it was. Now I do and I love it.

Me and Politics
I am a heavy liberal  democrat. Although I am not entirly anti-corporat, I believe in stronger consumer protection laws.

I think political awarness is a very important topic seeing as most people are more intresteted in what celebrity maried who rather than who's crashing our country. This year I plan to write for the school newspaper by doing several articles on political awareness, and how the student body views politics. I'm thinking that follow-up after follow-up of different subjects about general politics could last all year. I am hoping that when not doing political awareness articles they allow me to do stories like John Roberts' controversy or even local news. Posting the results on an article here is very likely.

Adlington railway station (Lancashire)

Adlington railway station serves the town of Adlington in Lancashire, England. It is a two-platform station on the Bolton - Chorley - Preston line, forming part of the Northern service link between Preston and Manchester via Bolton and Chorley.

Until 1960, Adlington was also served by a station named White Bear (on the Lancashire Union Railway).

History
On 15 June 1837, by an act of Parliament, the Bolton and Preston Railway Company constructed a link with the Manchester line, comprising nine and a half miles of railway to a temporary terminus at Rawlinson Lane. By December 1841, the line had reached Chorley and Adlington station opened to take over from Rawlinson Bridge.

The line would pass into the hands of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

When Sectorisation was introduced, the station was served by Regional Railways until the Privatisation of British Rail.

Facilities
The station has a staffed ticket office, open from the start of service until 13:10 Mondays to Saturdays. A ticket vending machine is in place for the purchase of tickets or promise-to-pay coupons when the ticket office is closed and for the collection of pre-paid tickets. A waiting room is available in the main building when the booking office is open, and there are shelters on each platform. Train running information is provided by timetable posters and telephone, as well as newly installed electronic displays in the waiting shelters on both platforms. There is step-free access to both platforms; however, there is no tactile paving on the northbound platform. Platform 2, for services towards Manchester, can only be accessed by a steep ramp, which is not suitable for wheelchairs. The nearest station with full tactile paving and full step-free access is Blackrod. Mobility scooters cannot be taken on board trains from Adlington; however, they can be taken on board when traveling to/from the next station at Blackrod.

Services
During off-peak hours, one train per hour calls at this station throughout the day, seven days a week, on the route between Blackpool North and Manchester Airport, operated by Northern Trains.

Saturday and Sunday services were replaced by buses most weekends from May 2015 until November 2018 due to late-running electrification work on the route. Weekend services resumed on Sunday 11 November 2018 after the completion of the electrification engineering work.

Until December 2021, Adlington was served by a two-hourly train service between Preston and Manchester Victoria, but this was withdrawn due to a shortage of train crew, to improve reliability on the route, and engineering works, and replaced by a shuttle bus service between Chorley and Blackrod, receiving only a peak-only train service. Since May 2022, it has received an hourly service between Blackpool North and Manchester Airport, which increases to half-hourly during peak times.

Since 2019, all train services have been provided by electric multiple units.

The majority of services on the Manchester - Blackpool route are operated by six-carriage (3+3) units, and until mid-2023, only the front four coaches could fit on the platforms. The platforms were extended, and now all carriages fit on the platform; however, as of November 2023, there are issues with the ASDO system, and the doors in the sixth coach will not open.

Renovation and Electrification
It was announced by the Department for Transport in December 2009 that the line between Preston and Manchester, on which the station is situated, would be electrified, enabling a reduction in journey times to Manchester by up to ten minutes. There have been many delays, but completion was in December 2018 when test trains (Virgin Pendolino) finally ran between Preston and Manchester.

Electric service commenced on 11 February 2019, utilizing Class 319 electric multiple units.
