A comment from a life-long friend of Milton and Pat.

I am objecting to the phrase "and his onetime wife and lifelong companion, the painter Pat Passlof." What is a "one-time wife"? Pat was Milton's wife and his life-long companion.

First Federal Basketball League

The First Federal Basketball League (Prva savezna košarkaška liga) was the highest tier level men's professional club basketball competition in the former country of SFR Yugoslavia. Founded in 1945, and folded in 1992 (1991–92 Winer Broker YUBA League), it was run by the Basketball Federation of Yugoslavia. With a total of 16 European-wide trophy winners and 11 finalists, the Yugoslav First Basketball League was one of the strongest European national domestic basketball leagues of all time.

Although each of the former Yugoslav countries now have their own national domestic leagues, the six nations also now take part in the ABA League (commonly known as the Adriatic League), which was founded in 2001; and which is, the closest basketball league in existence today, that is similar to the former Yugoslav First Federal Basketball League.

History
After the end of Second World War in Yugoslavia in 1945, there arose a need for athletic development in the fledgling nation. Post-WW2 Yugoslavia was (with the exception of major cities such as Belgrade, Ljubljana, Zagreb, and Sarajevo) for the most part lacking in competitive opportunities in sports. In response to this, 1945 and 1946 saw an explosion of new clubs and leagues for every sport, the basketball league being part of this phenomenon.

The very first competition under the newly formed Yugoslav Basketball League in 1945, drawing parallel to the Yugoslav First League (of football), was more or less a nationwide affirmation of unity. Instead of individual clubs competing in the usual fashion, there were only eight teams. Six representing each state within Yugoslavia, one representing the province of Vojvodina, and the last representing the Yugoslav People's Army.

Only in the 1970s did the basketball culture of Yugoslavia truly come to enjoy recognition as the top nation in basketball. Breaking away from the dominance of the Soviet Union, the Yugoslav league gave rise to stars that would go on to win multiple Basketball World Championships and European Basketball Championships. After a decade of dominance, the 1980s saw a disappointing slump of talent in the Yugoslav Basketball League.

Once again the world witnessed a sleeping giant come awake in the early 90s as Yugoslavia won two straight European Basketball Championships and a World Basketball Championship. This momentum was swiftly halted by the ethnic strife which broke out in 1991. Clubs from SR Slovenia and SR Croatia withdrew from the league so that the 1991–92 season, the competition's last, was contested without them. The country got divided into five successor republics, each founding their own basketball federations with the exception of Serbia and Montenegro, which retained the name Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the YUBA League.

Despite all these changes, the joint league of clubs from the former Yugoslavia proved to be a winning league format formula, so on 3 July 2001, the Adriatic League was founded. It features teams from all the former Yugoslav states, and it exists alongside scaled-down versions of the individual national domestic leagues of each of the former Yugoslav states.

Lloyd Shaw (educator)

Lloyd Shaw (1890-1958), also known as Dr. Lloyd "Pappy" Shaw, was an educator, and is generally credited with bringing about the broad revival of square dancing in America. He was superintendent, principal, teacher, and coach for Cheyenne Mountain Schools in Colorado Springs, Colorado from 1916-1951, and taught folk dancing.

Biography
Shaw was born in Denver, Colorado, but the family moved to Southern California when he was two years of age. His father was in the real estate business. The family returned to Denver when Shaw was nine years old, and then to Colorado Springs two years later. He graduated from Colorado College in 1913 and married poet Dorothy Stott Shaw. They had two children; daughter, Doli, and son, David.

He started teaching biology and sophomore English at Colorado Springs High School, and then became superintendent of the Broadmoor District's Cheyenne Mountain School on the outskirts of Colorado Springs.

During his time teaching folk dance he noticed that all the square dancing callers were getting old, and there was no new generation to take over. He also noticed a lack of continuity in the activity in different parts of the country. Shaw came up with a solution that he hoped would keep the activity from dying out.

Shaw traveled the country, and compiled instructions for traditional square dances from different callers all over the country. He documented them, and tried them out on the students he taught. He formed the Cheyenne Mountain Dancers, a high-school exhibition team, which toured the United States in the 1930s and 1940s, appearing in more than 50 major cities.

In 1949 the American Academy of Physical Education cited "the Lloyd Shaw Folk Dance Program as a noteworthy contribution to physical education."

He also wrote books and articles and conducted week-long summer classes for teachers and callers into the 1950s, where he not only taught the dances to other teachers, but taught them also the principles of teaching, and his vision of good dancing.

As the popularity of square dancing grew, square dance callers began extracting individual calls from these dances, and attempts at standardised lists were developed. These lists were later adopted by callers, and organisations such as Callerlab and later the American Callers Association formed to manage and promote a universal list and the type of dance leadership that Shaw envisioned.

Dr. Lloyd Shaw died of a stroke in 1958. The Lloyd Shaw Foundation was created in 1964 to preserve and promote his approach to square dancing.

Bible Study Fellowship

Bible Study Fellowship (also known as BSF) is an international Christian interdenominational or parachurch fellowship of lay people offering a system of structured bible study. It was founded in 1959 by Audrey Wetherell Johnson, a British evangelist to China.

History
BSF grew out of a program of structured Bible study that A. Wetherell Johnson, a missionary with China Inland Mission, agreed to run for a group of friends in California in 1952. "In 1958, Ms. Johnson accepted an invitation to go to San Francisco to conduct Bible classes for the revival converts of Billy Graham's neo-evangelical crusades." BSF began in 1959.

Upon Johnson's retirement, Rosemary Jensen became executive director (ED) and served for nearly twenty years. In 2000, she began serving as the head of the Rafiki Foundation International which has since moved from San Antonio, TX to Eustis, FL and Mrs. Jean Nystrand assumed the position of ED. In 2009, Susie Rowan took over as executive director. In 2021, Susie Rowan retired and Hollie Roberts was appointed by the board to be the new executive director.

The sixty year old international organization was forced by the COVID19 pandemic to shift its thousands of Bible study meetings online which had just begun to shift towards technology in its marketing and study materials distribution.

Countries
According to the organization's Form 990 for the year ending August 31, 2006, BSF has offices in the US, Australia, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Kenya, and Singapore, and has a financial interest in the following 35 countries:

 * Australia
 * Belize
 * Bermuda
 * Brazil
 * Canada
 * China
 * Ecuador
 * United Kingdom
 * France
 * Ghana
 * Hong Kong
 * Hungary (Class closed in May 2007)

 * India
 * Indonesia
 * Israel
 * Japan
 * Kenya
 * Madagascar
 * Malaysia
 * Myanmar
 * Netherlands
 * New Zealand
 * Nigeria
 * Peru

 * Philippines
 * Singapore
 * South Africa
 * South Korea
 * Switzerland
 * Taiwan
 * Tanzania
 * Thailand
 * USA
 * Uganda
 * Vietnam
 * Zimbabwe

Doctrinal positions and practices
BSF has a statement of faith to which all leaders must agree. It emphasizes salvation by grace through faith (Eph 2:8) while encouraging a holy (sanctified) lifestyle.

Any BSF participant who agrees to the BSF Statement of Faith, when that statement is not in conflict with the church they are a member of, can be called into leadership positions in BSF. BSF is careful not to call someone into leadership where the profession of their faith as a member of their church would be conflict with the BSF Statement of Faith.

Talk:Berdan rifle

Cross-reference
I don't see why it would be necessery to cross-reference Berdan rifle and Berdan Sharps rifle. They are related only through Hiram Berdan, and both accessable from that page. I might be wrong, but IMHO this calls for something more than "see also", at least something like "Berdan rifle is built upon Berdan Sharps rifle" (of course, if it's true). So far it looks like Hiram Berdan invented a whole bunch of staff. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyberodin  (talk • contribs) 06:14, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Shouldn't the place of origin should be the United States? It was invented there but it served with the Russian Army. It was NOT invented in Russia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.204.180.219 (talk) 04:42, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I understand that the Berdan was introduced into Russia because it was the weapon used by the American Expeditionary Force in Siberia 1918-1920. JohnBuerer (talk) 01:18, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The Berdan was introduced in 1870. Toddy1 (talk) 08:37, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Inaccuracies in the article
There are many inaccuracies in the article that should be corrected. Let me point at several of them so that someone could fix it.

The Berdan rifle (Vintovka Berdana in Russian) is a Russian rifle created by famous American firearms expert and inventor Hiram Berdan in 1868. - 95.79.213.197 (talk) 13:04, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It was invented in 1867. But a few rifles wee made for the Russians using the trap door principle of Berdan.  This was close to the Allin trap door, and soon abandoned.  The Russians mentioned below were at that time had reduced the Berdan .58 to .45, and they would reduce it further.  They eventually settled on the .42, but also some were made in .41.  Berdan in March 1867 decided to put the bolt in, as mentioned below, and the Russians Gorloff and Hennius worked with him to improve it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hpyglf  (talk • contribs) 01:53, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Actually there were *two* *absolutely* *separate* Russian Berdan rifles - Berdan #1 and Berdan #2 (note - NOT "I" of "II"), only the cartridge was the same. I think that should be mentioned in the very first lines of the article.

The #1 rifle was heavily modified by Russian military engeniers Gorloff and Goonius who worked at Colt factory before production started, for example AFAIK original design employed rotating hammer, while serial model had straight-pull hammer, so essentially it was a Berdan-Gorloff-Goonius rifle.- 95.79.213.197 (talk) 13:04, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I don't know who Goonius is, but Hennius was the fellow working with Gorloff. The actually preferred the Peabody, but were convinced to go with Berdan.  Berdan had the idea to put a bot in his rifle (not make a bolt rifle) in March 1867 after competion of the trials in NY. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hpyglf  (talk • contribs) 01:53, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Widely used in Russia as a hunting weapon, sporting variants, including shotguns, were produced until the mid-1930s.

That is not correct, or at least inaccurate. Hunting and sporting variations were being CONVERTED from worn out military rifles NOT produced in common sence of this word.

The first version, manufactured by Colt in the USA, is known as the model of 1868, or Berdan I. It is a hammerless "trapdoor" breechblock design, and was manufactured in limited numbers (the contract stipulated 30,000) as a full length infantry rifle.- 95.79.213.197 (talk) 13:04, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * This 30,000 orde was not for the trap door, but the Russian I. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hpyglf (talk • contribs) 01:53, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Berdan #1 was NEVER adopted as an infantry rifle. It was adopted as SHARPSHOOTER's rifle ("strelkovaya vintovka obr. 1868")

These firearms can be found as ornately engraved, well fit and finished custom sporting rifles, intended for the Russian ruling class

That is very very unlikely and strongly needs a source. AFAIK "Russian rooling class" had enough money to purchase something more then a converted worn out military rifle with a fancy finish. - 95.79.213.197 (talk) 13:04, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Elevation of trajectory at 500 Y
In section Comparison with contemporary rifles the column of height of trajectory at 500 yd lists heights from about 2000 to close to 3000 m. Since values in next columns are about 15 m 1000 yd, about 50 m at 1500 yd, and about 100 m at 2000 yd, which fits to graphic representation of the curve of a shotč the first column values are far from fit to it. It is the same type of discrepancy for every rifle listed in the table in that column, so there is something wrong either with the values or the definition of the column of the Height of trajectory at 500 yd (and the table seems to be included by template from elsewhere, so the problem is probably there).
