Signature Books

Signature Books is an American press specializing in subjects related to Utah, Mormonism, and Western Americana. The company was founded in 1980 by George D. Smith and Scott Kenney and is based in Salt Lake City, Utah. It is majority owned by the Smith-Pettit Foundation.

History
In the late 1970s, Scott Kenney decided there needed to be a Mormon-related press that didn't have ties to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Among those present at Signature Books's inception were George D. Smith and Scott Kenney, assisted by a board of directors composed of historians and business leaders: Eugene E. Campbell, Everett L. Cooley, David Lisonbee, D. Michael Quinn, Allen Dale Roberts, and Richard S. Van Wagoner; and an editorial board consisting of Lavina Fielding Anderson, Maureen Ursenbach Beecher, Davis Bitton, Orson Scott Card, and Jay Parry.

In 1980 Kenny and a few investors created Signature Books. In 1981 they published their first book, the satire Saintspeak by Orson Scott Card.

Several of Signature Books' publications have won awards from the Association for Mormon Letters, the John Whitmer Historical Association, the Mormon History Association, the Mountain West Center for Western Studies, and the Utah Center for the Book.

Present
Signature Books produces from eight to ten books a year, which deal with topics of western and Mormon history, fiction, essay, humor and art. Among these are the diaries of Mormon leaders such as Joseph Smith, William Clayton, Heber C. Kimball, Wilford Woodruff, L. John Nuttall, Anthon H. Lund, John Henry Smith, Rudger Clawson, B. H. Roberts and Reed Smoot. Signature has also published noted studies of well-known early Mormon theologians such as James E. Talmage, B. H. Roberts, Orson Pratt, Parley P. Pratt, Brigham Young, John Widtsoe, and award-winning biographies of significant early Mormons such as, Joseph Smith, Sidney Rigdon, Wilford Woodruff, John Taylor, as well as a biography of thirty three of the plural wives of Joseph Smith.

Controversy and criticism
A number of books produced by the publisher related to Mormon history have been considered controversial. Some authors view this as "quality liberal thinking on controversial LDS topics." Terryl Givens states that the publisher is "the main vehicle for publications that challenge the borders of Mormon orthodoxy."

Signature Books is sometimes at odds with the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies (FARMS), an organization of Mormon scholars and apologists which promotes orthodox Mormon historical scholarship. Author Simon Southerton referred to Signature Books as "a perennial thorn in the side of FARMS." One example was Signature Book's publication of Grant H. Palmer's book An Insider's View of Mormon Origins. The publication of this book immediately resulted in five negative book reviews by FARMS. Ron Priddis of Signature Books responded to these reviews by stating: "Is nothing beyond the reach of sarcasm by FARMS polemicists?"

At one point in early 1991, FARMS claims that Signature Books threatened a lawsuit over several reviews of its books that appeared in the Review on Books of the Book of Mormon. The item which initiated the lawsuit threat was a book review published by Stephen E. Robinson, on Signature-published The Word of God: Essays on Mormon Scripture, in which Robinson blasted, "Korihor's back, and this time he's got a printing press. In its continuing assault upon traditional Mormonism, Signature Books promotes with its recent and dubiously titled work, The Word of God, ...naturalistic assumptions...in dealing with Latter-day Saint belief." Signature Books asserts that several of the scholars who participated in New Approaches considered themselves active and participating members of the LDS faith. The FARMS reviewers, for their part, considered these authors to be opponents to the LDS tradition. Signature management made an inquiry with the FARMS management, holding that such inferences were insulting and could be considered libelous. Signature then requested a retraction.

Daniel C. Peterson, an LDS scholar and member of FARMS, published a response in various newspapers in Utah. In his response, he stated that "Signature Books and George D. Smith seem...to have a clear (if unadmitted) agenda, an agenda that is often hostile to centrally important beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints".

In 2004, Signature Books posted on its web site a speech given by John Hatch, in which Hatch said, "After reading the (FARMS) reviews myself, it appears to me, and is my opinion, that FARMS is interested in making Mormonism's past appear as normal as possible to readers by attacking history books that discuss complex or difficult aspects of the church's past. ... I am deeply troubled by what I see as continued efforts to attack honest scholarly work."

Bernard Nathanson

Bernard N. Nathanson (July 31, 1926 – February 21, 2011) was an American physician and co-founder in 1969 of the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws (NARAL), later renamed National Abortion Rights Action League. He was also the former director of New York City's Center for Reproductive and Sexual Health but later became an anti-abortion activist. He was the narrator for the controversial 1984 anti-abortion film The Silent Scream.

Early life and education
Nathanson was born in New York City from Jewish family. His father was an obstetrician/gynecologist, the same career that Nathanson held in his professional life. Nathanson earned his undergraduate degree at Cornell University, and in 1949 graduated with a medical degree from McGill University Faculty of Medicine in Montreal.

Career
Nathanson was licensed to practice medicine in New York state in 1952, and became board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology in 1960. He was for a time the director of the Center for Reproductive and Sexual Health (CRASH), then the largest free-standing abortion facility in the world. In 1974, Nathanson wrote: "I am deeply troubled by my own increasing certainty that I had in fact presided over 60,000 deaths." He also wrote that he performed an abortion on a woman whom he had impregnated.

Pro-abortion rights
Originally an abortion rights activist, Nathanson gained national attention as one of the founding members, along with Lawrence Lader, of the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws (later renamed the National Abortion Rights Action League, and now known as NARAL Pro-Choice America). He worked with Betty Friedan and others for the legalization of abortion in the United States. Their efforts essentially succeeded with the Roe v. Wade (1973) decision.

Anti-abortion
With the development of ultrasound in the 1970s, Nathanson had the chance to observe a real-time abortion. This led him to reconsider his views on abortion. He is often quoted as saying that abortion is "the most atrocious holocaust in the history of the United States". He wrote the book Aborting America in which he discussed what he called "the dishonest beginnings of the abortion movement". In 1983, Nathanson debated Henry Morgentaler for an hour on a Canadian national superstation.

In 1984, Nathanson directed and narrated a film titled The Silent Scream, in co-operation with the National Right to Life Committee, which contained the ultrasound video of a mid-term (12 weeks) abortion. His second documentary, Eclipse of Reason, dealt with late-term abortions. He stated that the numbers he once cited for Naral concerning the number of deaths linked to illegal abortions were "false figures". Referring to his previous work as an abortion provider and abortion rights activist, he wrote in his 1996 autobiography Hand of God: "I am one of those who helped usher in this barbaric age." Nathanson developed what he called the "vector theory of life", which states that from the moment of conception there exists "a self-directed force of life that, if not interrupted, will lead to the birth of a human baby."

Religious conversion
Nathanson grew up Jewish, and for more than ten years after he became anti-abortion, he described himself as an "atheist". In 1996, he converted to Catholicism through the efforts of the Reverend C. John McCloskey. In December 1996, Nathanson was baptized by John Cardinal O'Connor in a private Mass with a group of friends in New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral. He also received Confirmation and first Communion from the cardinal. When asked why he converted to Roman Catholicism, he stated that "no religion matches the special role for forgiveness that is afforded by the Catholic Church".

Personal life and death
Nathanson married four times; his first three marriages ended in divorce. He died of cancer in New York on February 21, 2011, at the age of 84. He was survived by his fourth wife Christine Reisner-Nathanson whom he married in the church shortly after his 1996 baptism. He was also survived by his son Joseph, from his second marriage with wife Rosemary.

Salon of Berta Zuckerkandl

The Salon of Berta Zuckerkandl-Szeps  existed in Vienna from the end of the 19th century until 1938. It was located in her Viennese residence in the Palais Lieben-Auspitz on the Ringstraße.

The first salon of Berta Zuckerkandl was held in a mansion in the Nusswaldgasse in Döbling. Later it was held in the Palais Lieben-Auspitz at the Oppolzergasse 6 at the Ringstraße. The salon was formed in the tradition of Fanny von Arnstein's literary salons in the days of the Congress of Vienna.

Bertha Zuckerkandl's salon claimed such famous participants as Gustav Klimt, Gustav Mahler, Max Reinhardt, Arthur Schnitzler and Alma Mahler. She also supported such artists as Anton Kolig and from the so-called.

Her sister Sofie was married to Paul Clemenceau, the brother of the French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau, giving the salon connections to Parisian circles.

The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw

The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw is a 1958 Western comedy film directed by Raoul Walsh, starring Kenneth More and Jayne Mansfield. Mansfield's singing voice is dubbed by Connie Stevens. It was one of the first Westerns to be shot in Spain.

Plot
Jonathan Tibbs, son of a family of English gunsmiths, has no interest in the family business and prefers inventing gadgets, in particular a steam-powered horseless carriage. Threatened with disinheritance if he does not report for work, he discovers that the company is not doing very well, and concludes that someone must expand their sales.

He reads in his newspaper about the wide use of guns in the American West of the 1880s and decides to go there himself to sell firearms to the locals.

He ends up at the small lawless town of Fractured Jaw and inadvertently acquires a reputation for quickness on the draw, due to his wrist-mounted Derringer style weapon. He is innocently drawn into a range war between the "Box T" and "Lazy S" cattle outfits, both of whom claim sole water rights and, when he proves able to stand up to their hired gunmen, is appointed sheriff.

He endeavours to clean up the town using what skills he has and by multilateral diplomacy. He attracts the support of Miss Kate, a blonde bombshell hotel owner, who helps him to fight off the hired guns of both cattle ranches, who all want him dead.

Earning the respect of the local Indian tribe, he becomes a blood brother of theirs, under the name of 'Fleet Iron Hat'. When he and Kate are besieged by the gunmen of both outfits, they come to his rescue and help to arrest the men. The two ranch owners eventually offer a deal to maintain the peace and share the water rights.

With relative peace restored, Jonathan decides to remain in Fractured Jaw, becomes an American citizen and marries Kate.

Cast

 * Kenneth More as Jonathan Tibbs
 * Jayne Mansfield as Kate
 * Henry Hull as Major Masters
 * Bruce Cabot as Jack
 * Ronald Squire as Toynbee, Uncle Lucius' Solicitor
 * William Campbell as Keeno
 * Sid James as The Drunk
 * Reed De Rouen as Clayborne
 * Charles Irwin as Luke
 * Donald Stewart as The Drummer
 * Clancy Cooper as The Barber
 * Gordon Tanner as Bud Wilkins
 * Robert Morley as Uncle Lucius
 * David Horne as James, Uncle Lucius' Butler
 * Eynon Evans as Manager of Tibbs & Co.
 * Chief Jonas Applegarth as Running Deer
 * Deputy Chief Joe Buffalo as Red Wolf
 * Larry Taylor as Gun Guard

Production
The film was based on a short story by Jacob Hays published in the Canadian magazine Maclean's in June 1954. Prior to publication, the film rights were bought by 20th Century Fox in 1954 as a possible vehicle for Clifton Webb and Marilyn Monroe. That film was never made.

In March 1957, English producer Daniel Angel signed a deal with Fox to make at least three films in England. The first one would be Sheriff of Fractured Jaw to star Kenneth More. More had become popular in films such as Genevieve (1953) and The Admirable Crichton (1957). More, who had co-starred with American Betsy Drake in his previous movie, said, "I feel like I'm taking first steps towards Hollywood". Eight years previously, More had unsuccessfully auditioned for a role in Captain Horatio Hornblower directed by Walsh.

The female lead was Jayne Mansfield. Mansfield had been discovered playing in the Broadway comedy Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? in 1955, and she was signed to an exclusive contract with Fox in 1956 at a $2500-a-week salary. The studio intended to mold her as a successor to the temperamental Marilyn Monroe, and cast her in Monroe-type roles in The Girl Can't Help It (1956) and a 1957 film adaptation of her Broadway triumph. She was signed on the film in early 1958, not long after marrying her second husband, muscleman Mickey Hargitay.

Shooting
The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw started filming at Pinewood Studios in England, shooting the interiors and the prologue, which is set in London. The studio's massive inventory of sets, carriages, and period props made setting the film in the mid-1800s American West easily possible.

Angel said, "Kenneth More and Jayne Mansfield were a good team."

Then, the production moved to a remote location in the Spanish province of Aragon, the first time a Western film was made in the country. According to Variety, the Spanish section of the film only cost $200,000, including a Western village and Indian camp built twenty miles from Madrid.

Walsh called on several actors he had previously worked with to fill out the cast: Henry Hull and Bruce Cabot.

During production, Mansfield became pregnant with her second child and often missed filming days, delaying production, and upsetting Fox executives. The film was completed on time and on budget, however. It was released in the United Kingdom in December 1958, but it was not released in the United States until March 14, 1959.

It was the first of a three-picture deal between More and Angel and 20th. More earned 5% of the profits.

Reception
The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw received mixed reviews at the time of its release. It was considerably better received, both critically and financially, in England than in America. American critics gave negative reviews to Mansfield's musical performances in the film, claiming her voice was noticeably dubbed. In fact, her voice was dubbed by singer-actress Connie Stevens.

Variety said it was "not to be missed", adding, "Who ever greenlighted the starring combo of Jayne Mansfield and Kenneth More in 'The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw' has done themselves and filmgoers a good turn. These two effervescent personalities merge like bacon and eggs, and the result is a wave of yocks." Filmink said that More was "superbly cast as a British gun salesman and effectively teamed (if only via sheer contrast) with Jayne Mansfield."

Box office
The film was the tenth most-popular movie at the British box office in 1958. According to Kinematograph Weekly, the film performed "better than average" at the British box office in 1959. "It'll be a gold mine for us," said More, who had a percentage of the profits.

It made $1,924,875 in American theaters and $2,485,125 elsewhere.

More and Angel were meant to follow the film with Have Monocle Will Travel based on the adventures of an ex-British colonel but that film was not made.

Wollaston, West Midlands

Wollaston is a village on the outskirts of Stourbridge in the West Midlands, England. It is located in the south of the Dudley Metropolitan Borough, one mile west of Stourbridge town centre.

Etymology
The name Wollaston is taken to originate from the personal name Wulflāf and farm. Documents show various forms of the name, including Woolweston in 1708.

History
Unlike namesakes Wollaston, Northamptonshire and Wollaston, Shropshire, this Wollaston is not listed in the Domesday Survey of 1086.

A map from 1782 shows Wollaston Hall and a cluster of cottages where today Vicarage Road meets High Street. By 1827 this oldest part of the village included a windmill and the Barley Mow Inn; in addition there was a watermill on the Stour and a few cottages around the Gate Hangs Well Inn where High Park Avenue meets the Bridgnorth Road.

Until 1974 when the West Midlands Metropolitan County was created, Wollaston was in Worcestershire.

Wollaston Hall
Wollaston Hall was a 17th-century mansion which stood in the village until 1926. Victoria County History of 1913 describes the front elevation of "five gables filled with ornamental half-timbering disposed in quatrefoil panels". The Hall was later disassembled and shipped to North America, although nobody has been able to determine what happened to it. Panelling and a fireplace from the Hall are in the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan. The Wollastone Hall site was redeveloped for housing in the 1930s.

Birthplace of steam locomotive
The Stourbridge Lion, built in Wollaston, was the first steam locomotive to run on a commercial line in the United States. Built by Foster, Rastrick and Company in Wollaston, the Stourbridge Lion's historic first run took place on 8 August 1829. The locomotive is now on view at the B&O Railroad museum, Baltimore MD, on loan from the Smithsonian Institution, Washington.

The foundry in Lowndes Road where the Stourbridge Lion was built, was under threat of demolition until work started in 2013/2014 to form the multimillion-pound Lion Health Centre.

Wollaston village school
Wollastone New Schools next to St James' Church opened on 28 February 1859. G Bidlake of Wolverhampton was architect. The buildings initially housed a mixed infants school and a separate school for older boys. A Girls' School had opened by 1861. Edward Hackwood, the first headmaster of the Boys' School held the position for 40 years. Joe Pearson, who had previously played football for Aston Villa and was a member of the club's 1905 FA Cup winning team was appointed headmaster in September 1919. The schools had capacity for 534 children in 1926. Pearson retired as headmaster in April 1946; he was also Mayor of Stourbridge for two years from November 1941. The school was extended in 1959 with the building of a hall, two classrooms, offices and a lavatory block and became a Junior School after the Infants were transferred to Meadow Park Infants' School. Wollaston School closed in 1984; the original buildings have been converted for use as offices.

Historical population
Population of Wollaston township/parish taken from national censuses.

Wollaston Farm
The land of Wollastone Farm began to be developed for housing in the early 1950s. The almost circular Kingsway is the main road; roads off were named after English counties. The Wollaston Free Church building on Somerset Drive started out as the clubhouse of Stourbridge Rugby Club. It was first used for worship in 1967; a foyer, heightened roof and illuminated spire have since been added.

Wollaston Illuminations
The "Wollaston Illuminations" in Leonard Road were an annual Christmas lights display which attracted people from all over the Black Country to raise money for a chosen charity. Johnny Briggs, who played Mike Baldwin in the ITV soap Coronation Street and who lived in Stourbridge, switched on the lights several times over the years. In 2006, residents of Leonard Road decided to cancel the illuminations as a protest to food and drink vendors 'cashing in' on the fundraising event.

Present
Wollaston's main thoroughfare is Bridgnorth Road (A458), which is home to a few pubs, restaurants and shops. The Unicorn Inn is a Bathams pub which was built in 1859.

In 2014, Lion Health medical centre opened in the renovated former foundry of Foster, Rastrick and Company, a Grade II listed building. The next phase of regeneration on the foundry site will create parkland next to Stourbridge Canal with a "heritage and community hub" named Riverside House.

Governance
Wollaston is part of the Wollaston and Stourbridge Town ward for elections to Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council. For elections to the House of Commons it is part of Stourbridge constituency.

Public services were the responsibility of the Vestry Committee from the formation of the parish in 1860 until the Local Government Act, 1894 curtailed its powers. The Vestry Committee, among other functions, installed streetlamps, named new roads and renamed existing ones, provided number plates for houses and street name signage, and was responsible for road maintenance. Wollaston chose to become part of Stourbridge Urban District rather than becoming a separate civil parish and in December 1894 elected three of twenty one councillors to serve on the new urban district council. Wollaston also elected one councillor to Worcestershire County Council.

Education
Wollaston has two primary schools – The Ridge Primary School, which opened in 1968 and St James's C of E Primary, a merger in 1984 of the village school with Meadow Park Infants' School.

Ridgewood High School is on the site of High Park School, which opened in 1958. High Park merged with Longlands School in 1990 to form Ridgewood.

Religious sites
Authorisation for the creation of the new parish of Wollaston was given by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners on 10 November 1859. Prior to this Wollaston was part of the ancient parish of Oldswinford. St James' Church was formally opened on 15 April 1960 on land donated by William Orme Foster of John Bradley & Co iron works and Member of Parliament for South Staffordshire. The church is of blue brick and bath stone and The Builder describes the style as fourteenth century Gothic. The architect was G Bidlake of Wolverhampton. The church and its surrounding railings and gatepiers together with the vicarage are Grade II listed. A vestry was added in October 1935 and the church hall was opened in June 1995.

Transport
The Stourbridge Canal skirts around the village linking the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal with the Dudley No. 1 Canal, this places Wollaston on the Stourport Ring.

The nearest train station is Stourbridge Town.

The Stourbridge to Bridgnorth A458 road runs through the village. The route was turnpiked from 1816 until 1877.

Between 1901 and 1930, Wollaston was served by an electric tramway, the Kinver Light Railway. Following the tramway's closure Midland Red buses served the village, followed by West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive by 1976 and West Midlands Travel from 1986. The main bus services are National Express West Midlands service 7 and 8 which connects Wollaston to Stourbridge, Dudley and the Merry Hill Shopping Centre. The 8 service continues to Wolverhampton but it is quicker to change on to service 16 at Stourbridge Interchange. Diamond Bus service 25 also serves the area. Select Bus Service's 242 serves the village every hour, providing another service to Stourbridge and a service to Kinver.

Public houses
Wollaston has had fifteen public houses over the years. The oldest extant is The Gate Hangs Well on High Park Avenue which is shown on a map from 1827. The Barley Mow, High Street is shown on the same map but its rebuilt premises have been converted into a Sainsbury's Local. The Forester's Arms and The Plough both on Bridgnorth Road at the western edge of the village are recorded in trade directories of 1852 and 1851 respectively. The Unicorn also on Bridgnorth Road is listed in a 1865 trade directory and is currently owned by local brewer, Bathams.

Talk:Viva Rapid Transit

Name Poll
Well, I guess just put your username beside the Title that you think is appropriate for this article. The deadline for the poll is 2005 Nov 07. (See below for some discussions regarding the the name change.)

Viva York -

Viva (BRT) -

YRT Viva -

Viva (bus rapid transit) - The Manual of Style discourages the use of initialisms in article titles. Ground Zero | t 18:54, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with Phil Hong that because "Viva" tells you nothing about what it is (as opposed to Toronto Transit Commission, e.g.), so adding "bus rapid transit" would help. Naming conventions indicates that Wikipedia style is to:
 * use lowercase second and subsequent words in titles: Do not capitalize second and subsequent words unless the title is a proper noun (such as a name) or is otherwise almost always capitalized (for example: John Wayne, but not Computer Game); and
 * spell-out phrases rather than use acronyms: Avoid the use of acronyms in page naming unless the term you are naming is almost exclusively known only by its acronym and is widely known and used in that form (laser, radar, and scuba are good examples).
 * So "Viva (BRT)", "YRT Viva" and "Viva (Bus Rapid Transit)" are not consistent with the Wikipedia naming conventions. Ground Zero | t 14:30, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * This is what I find acceptable: First preference "Viva (bus rapid transit)", second "Viva (York Region)". It's a service, like a subway/metro, and it's best served with a title that tells you directly what it is. "Viva York" misleads people to think that, since both words are capitalised, that it's the official name. and YRT Viva doesn't cut it either, because it misleads people to think that Viva is a subsidiary of the YRT, like RBC and RBC Centura. User:Phil-hong
 * I agree with you, Phil: first choice "Viva (bus rapid transit)", second "Viva (York Region)". Ground Zero | t 04:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

 * In response to Phil-hong, regarding the comment "YRT Viva doesn't cut it either, because it misleads people to think that Viva is a subsidiary of the YRT, like RBC and RBC Centura". I have to disagree, just to make things clear, YRT is the public agency that administer public transport in York Region, this agency administer 2 transport system: the regular YRT bus service and the Viva rapid bus service. The public controls all the assets, including vehicles and terminals, as well as control of public policy, including determination of the fares. Even though as you've said Viva is not a subsidiary of YRT (at least in the sense of regular YRT bus service, if that's what you meant), the Viva system works under the YRT umbrella organizational structure. Regardless, in consideration of all your responses and comments posted here (Thank you so much) and for the purpose of the article, I have decided to change my vote to "Viva (bus rapid transit)".--AmosNider 00:31, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Footnote: York Region Transit indeed is a public agency (most public transport agencies are in Canada), but Viva itself is run by a Public Private Partnership, so though technically there are staff from the Region working at Viva, in theory, it is separate from the YRT itself as the York Region Rapid Transit Corporation. Can't get any more precise than that. I know. I've followed the subject since '02. User:Phil-hong

 * I'd say keep it as it is - this communicates the name as well as anything. If it must be changed, I'd say Viva (York Region). David Arthur 01:49, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Result of the Name Poll: From the discussion, there is a clear concensus that a more apporiate name for this article is needed. The name of the article should be named simply as Viva (which is the only name of the BRT system), but since there are other subjects on Wikipedia that also use the name Viva, therefore (bus rapid transit) will need to be added to the title to differentiate from other subjects. Thus, the title of this article is Viva (bus rapid transit). Thank you for all your comments, suggestions and reasoning. --AmosNider 09:26, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry to weigh in rather late regarding this. We should try to name (and categorise) all Canadian RT articles in a consistent manner, except where there may be ambiguity.  We should also not try to split too many hairs: what will online users understand and intuit?  Viva (York Region) makes sense, but is this incompatible with Montreal Metro, Toronto Subway and RT, or Ottawa O-Train?  If so, I'd suggest naming the article Viva (York rapid transit), keeping it as is, Viva York rapid transit, York Viva (given examples cited), or variant.  Thoughts?  Thanks!

along with Warden Avenue
Oh, oh, now we've done it!! We're in wiki's bad books........ Maybe this will get deleted along with Warden Avenue..... And York Region Transit...... Maybe all my postings will be verboten!! Bacl-presby September 27, 2005.

Tagged
I have to ask the question once again;

Why has this page been tagged? How does this NOT "shape up" to Wikipedia's Style Guide??

There will undoubtably be some changes made in the following week, as changes happen to the subject matter this weekend.

So, what will constitute this message to be deleted?? (or do I just remove the tag myself?)

Bacl-presby 23:14, 12 October 2005 (UTC)Bacl-presby.

What about now; attempts have been made to clean it up; can the designation be pulled??

Suggested changes and upgrade
First, I would like to thank David Arthur for making the beautiful route map.

There are definitely room for upgrades to make the page look more organized and clean.

Can somebody please take a nicer picture of the Finch Terminal. Some more pics of the buses and stations would be nice (better take them while they are new before the winter). All photographs with a consistent width and height place on the right would look nice. I also suggest that we start a Viva York page at the Wikicommons and dump all our Viva photographs there. See example: MTR

Can someone please confirm the fact regarding 4286847 Canada Incorporated?

Operations: If nobody can find out and confirm the President and Chair of VIVA then we should probably clear that area, rather than leaving it N/A. The Connex part can stay. More details about the organization and operation of VIVA can be added there.

Fares: Maybe we can put the ticket prices in a table or something. A photograph or two would be nice. Someone can add a few sentences or so if they know anything about the GTA Smart Fare Card that they are planning on over the next several years.

See also: The non-existent transit system should be taken away (Aurora, Markham, Newmarket, RH & Vaughan Transit), they are distracting. Let the York Region Transit page take care of them.

If people agree to these changes, then we can start upgrading our Viva York page. Please add to the suggestions if you have any. Thanks I can do some of the changes when I find the time later. User:AmosNider 2005 Oct 24

 * User:Phil-hong 2005 Oct 30: I don't even think Viva has a President! They don't usually publicise about things like this, and since we can't seem to know who the management structure is I'm just knocking that part out.
 * User:cncxbox 2006 May 07: I can confirm that VIVA's operator is 4286847 Canada Incorporated. I don't know why the company's name is a string of numbers.
 * When someone registers a compay, they must pay to have a corproate name search done in order to avoid using a name that is already in use. This charge can be avoided by registering the company under a number instead of a name. So it is officially 4286847 Canada Incorporated, but operates as "Viva". This is not uncommon in the corporate world. Ground Zero | t 12:37, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Vivayork?!?
-VIVAyork came from the URL for the viva website, www.vivayork.com
 * Well, I do agree that some companies do use their names as the URL (ie Yahoo, yahoo.com), but I assume that Viva itself was a little too late to claim ex "viva.com" or "viva.ca". It would have been best if the Viva corporates did buy viva.ca because it would be consistant with branding, but they probably couldn't. User:Phil-hong 2005 Dec 31

To be honest with you, I agree to whoever stuck that clean-up tag on the top of the Viva page.

First of all, where did the heck did the name Vivayork come about? Never heard of it at the public information meetings, the identity ceremony or in the media. Can't we just rename this page "Viva (BRT)" or something as it's actually named, and put an disambig link for whatever's in the article "Viva" right now?

Second of all, whoever renamed this article from Vivayork should be applauded. However, whatabout the improperly named "Vivayork"+ articles, such as Vivayork Monthly Pass? The official name for the combined YRT/Viva system is called "1system", as it is on the logo and most of the Viva RTVs and the stations and the terminal signs.

We need to stop imagining "innovative" but silly names and rename the articles properly. Let me know otherwise if the signs and livery on Viva RTVs are renamed "Vivayork" and the 1system logo reflects the silly name. User:Phil-hong 2005 Oct 26

 * User:AmosNider 2005 Oct 27: I totally agree with User:Phil-hong on the name thing, the name "Viva York" is just so non official. There was a time earlier that this article was named "YRT Viva" which I think was appropriate and also ties its relationship with YRT, because no matter how you cut it, Viva will always be under the YRT system. "Viva (BRT)" describe it nicely too.
 * Can we come to a consensus (a vote or something) over the next 7 days regarding the name of this article. Thanks.

The question behind viva's operator.
By the way: The operator name is usually printed on each and every YRT and viva vehicle. So that question behind viva's operator can be found by just boarding a viva RTV. Which I already have. And it's the same as what the page reads.

As well, York Region Rapid Transit Corporation is printed at the official viva website. Just to let you know. User:Phil-hong 2005 Oct 26

YRT and Viva different categories?
I'm still a little itty bitty confused about why Viva and YRT constitute different categories. Don't both operate in York Region? In transit material they show themselves as one system, not Viva producing maps for themselves and the YRT producing their own maps (actually both systems collaborate on that one). So why are we Wikipedians separating the two when they don't act separately outside of human resources and corporation organisation? User:Phil-hong 2005 Oct 30

 * It's like the separation between the TTC's buses, streetcars, and trains; in this case, Viva is still a bus service, but it's based on a different paradigm, and I think it would get overly dense if we merged it together with the main YRT page. David Arthur 01:49, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I think the question was not about articles, but about categories. Viva is a distinct part of the system, and there is enough info about it to warant a separate article, but there isn't an over-abundance of articles in Category:York Region Transit or in Category:VivaYork, so there is no need to separate the categories, in my opinion. If others agree, I will move the YorkViva category articles to the York Region Transit category. This would also address the problem of "VivaYork" being a confusing category name since it is not used anywhere by as this category name. Ground Zero | t 15:56, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree with GZ: there's enough information about YRT and Viva (with the latter being part of the former) to necessitate separate articles; even if the Viva article were currently sparse (and it's not), it's perfunctory.

 * In terms of categories: I think we need to think about mass transit systems in the GTA, Ontario, Canada, and worldwide, and build categories with this sorta structure in mind. Nix Category:VivaYork for now.

 * Ditto for naming of articles. I hope this helps!  E Pluribus Anthony 14:52, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi...I've been off-line for a while, but I'll do some thinking about the above content (any luck getting Warden Avenue back up?)--good input so far! Bacl-presby 01:00, 1 November 2005 (UTC)User:Bacl-presby

A week has passed, and I hope I've made it before the deadline; if nothing else, group everything that is York Region Transit (YRT, VIVA, predecessors) and put into a concise article with links to the other sites... How's that?? Bacl-presby 23:52, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Viva station articles
Should there be separate articles for individual Viva staions, or should they be grouped into one omnibus article called "Viva stations" (or something else)?
 * At this time, I don't think there should be separate articles for each individual Viva stations. Even for Bernard station, it's just a back wall of a shopping plaza! Just take some photographs and organize it into galleries inside the Wikimedia Commons under Viva and write a few notes about it. --AmosNider 12:25, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

If they are to remain as separate articles, they will have to be renamed from, e.g., Clark (VIVA) to "Clark (Viva station)" or something like that. Viva is not an initialism, so it should not be all in caps. Ground Zero | t 16:09, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Hello! A similar challenge has arisen with the various stations in the TTC subway/RT network.  Perhaps a starting point would be to expand on appropriate stations within each of the YRT line articles, like a paragraph for each (if warranted)?  I don't think there's currently a need for articles for each YRT station, but maybe later.  E Pluribus Anthony 14:59, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

YRT and VIVA relationship
They are both owned by York Region.

YRT is 100% Maintained by Public Funds. VIVA was bulit and is maintained by a public-private consortium, York Rapid Transit Corporation.

here is a link to a Zoning Notice from the Town of Markham which cites "York Rapid Transit Corporation", not "York Region". http://www.markham.ca/markham/resources/pm_050322_yrt.pdf

the operation of VIVA is contracted out to Connex Transportation. YRT is run by Miller Transit, Laidlaw, and Can-Ar Coach.

York Region does maintain full control over fares and services, and they have decided to combine fares with YRT.

So as they act as one single service, they are two seperate systems.

YRT's website is http://www.yrt.ca and YRTP's website is http://www.vivayork.com

 * Thanks. Then, should it not be "maintained by York Rapid Transit Corporation, within which YRT operates" ... something or another?  And still, the relationship with YRT is non in the lead of the article: it is very odd that there is no mention of YRT there now. E Pluribus Anthony 14:29, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

The Phases and Proposed Extensions sections
What does ‘Scarborough RT-Style transitways (Other Lines)’ mean? Is York Region really considering elevated railways on major streets, or did someone misunderstand the meaning of the word ‘transitway’, which YRT have used to mean reserved lanes in the centre of the street? Also, what is the source for the items in the ‘Proposed Extensions’ section? Some make sense, but the Viva Blue extension to Eglinton seems a bit odd, and doesn't resemble anything I’ve seen on official sites. David Arthur
 * Any cited sources of this section? To be honest with you, I agree with David Arthur that the extension DOES look a little odd, and then the Viva "Red" line sounds a little confusing. It seems that the idea of transitways will be phased in sometime soon but I didn't hear about an exact date until I read this section. Where is all of this info from? User: Phil-hong, 1 Jan 2006

 * I have copies of the YRTP official plans, these are somebodies fantasys, not real plans. I think we should remove the full section, as the only credible expantion is the one to Cornell.. User: CorSter, 2 Jan 2006.

 * I know that the Cornell extension's on hold for the moment because of Markham-Stoufville Hospital's concerns. It stated looking suspicious when the so-called "Viva Red" line would like up Downsview, Finch and Sheppard stations. Problem? Viva doesn't serve the Toronto area, it serves York Region. So I agree. Strike out the possible extensions section until we have a credible outside source (i.e. regional plans, stuff from the York Region Rapid Transit Corporation). User: Phil-hong, 3 Jan 2006

Really BRT?
I was under the impression that bus rapid transit systems operated on exclusive rights of way, as in Ottawa or Pittsburgh. Until Viva develops separate transitways, is it really anything more than a few express bus lines? -- Mwalcoff 03:36, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That's all it is at the moment, but it's in early phases of an overall transit strategy. They have publicized plans for dedicated transitway/lanes along Yonge St. and parts of Highway 7.  PKT 12:35, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, but until then, should the article title be Viva (bus rapid transit) or Viva (bus system)? -- Mwalcoff 01:06, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I changed many of the "bus rapid transit" references to "quality express bus" since this more accurately fits the definition. Since Viva does not fit a key component of bus rapid transit: exclusive lanes. Maybe when some of the lines start running in dedicated corridors we can go back and change all of those references to "bus rapid transit", but for the moment, I think it's unreasonable to call Viva something it is not. Viva Orange will be rerouted to the York University Busway on March 1st, and the first Viva rapidways are scheduled to open in less than a year, so the change is only temporary anyway.

Markham-Stouffville Hospital
The article now says that the Purple route has been extended eastwards, but the map on yrt.ca still shows those stops as ‘future’. Can someone provide confirmation that service has indeed begun? David Arthur (talk) 15:04, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi David - this link makes it look pretty official. PKT (talk) 15:24, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * In addition, Viva Purple buses eastbound now display 'Markham-Stouffville Hospital'. I have updated the various articles that are affected by the extension opening. - Enzo Aquarius (talk) 18:03, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Please note that Markham Stouffville Hospital is the correct name for the hospital. It does not have a dash and neither does the Vivastation. Don't believe everything you read in Wikipedia - check their web site . Should someone move Markham-Stouffville Hospital to Markham Stouffville Hospital which already exists as a redirect page? The redirect page has many more links than the main page. I don't know the proceedure for this. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 23:33, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The procedure is to use the 'Move' tab (at the top of every page, between 'History' and 'Watch'). I have taken care of this. PKT (talk) 15:27, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Other Vivastations
I have restored a record for each of the "missing" Vivastations, gathered together on one page. Navigation was broken in the infoboxes and the Template:VIVA Stations. Because I have retained the same naming convention you can repair any broken links you find by simply prefixing the old name with Other Vivastations#. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 17:19, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

And another thing
There is no need to maintain the same information about YRT Vivastations and Terminals in several places. For example the article for Richmond Hill Centre (YRT) has all the information in one place (and more), that is also broken into three tables at Viva Blue, Viva Purple and Viva Pink which are all redundant. And then there's the orphaned List of York Region Transit/VIVA stations which repeats the same tables for all 5 lines. Why? The Template:VIVA Stations does a vey good job of listing the routes and if an existing or proposed station does not justify the creation of its own page an entry can now be added to Other Vivastations. I advocate eliminating all those tables, using the appended template to navigate, only retaining the brief history of each line, and the immediately deletion of the so called list. -Secondarywaltz (talk) 19:04, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Vivayork.png
Image:Vivayork.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

BetacommandBot (talk) 03:04, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Phase confusion
The third paragraph of the article uses "phase" to describe the initial rollout of the system, and describes the current phase as being phase 4. Later, the article talks about "phase" to describe the initial implementation, the movement of buses to dedicated ROWs, and the replacement of buses with LRT. These two uses of "phase" contradict each other. One needs to be renamed, but I'm not sure which. Is there an official definition of "phase" in the context of Viva? 216.220.43.110 (talk) 16:12, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

YRT / VIVA Fares combine
Since YRT and VIVA fares are identical by means of same fares, rules and ticket agents, maybe we should consider creating a new article that links the two sections. York Region Transit \ VIVA (fares)? There is quite a lot of repetition among the two YRT and VIVA fare articles. --Eddiet19 (talk) 15:16, 1 October 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eddiet19 (talk • contribs) 15:14, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't open a new article - I think it would be quickly deleted. A better alternative is to have the YRT article contain all of the subject matter about fares, and the VIVA article could cross-link to the section with York Region Transit. But your point is well taken;  they are in fact on one fare structure and trying to maintain that information in both places is awkward.  PK  T  16:45, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Lectisternium

The lectisternium was an ancient Roman propitiatory ceremony, consisting of a meal offered to gods and goddesses. The word derives from lectum sternere, "to spread (or "drape") a couch." The deities were represented by their busts or statues, or by portable figures of wood, with heads of bronze, wax or marble. It has also been suggested that the divine images were bundles of sacred herbs tied together in the form of a head, covered by a waxen mask so as to resemble a kind of bust, rather like the straw figures called Argei. A couch (lectus) was prepared by draping it with fabric. The figures or sacred objects pertaining to the deity (such as the wreath awarded in a triumph) were laid upon it. Each couch held a pair of deities, sometimes male with female equivalent. If the image was anthropomorphic, the left arms were rested on a cushion (pulvinus) in the attitude of reclining to eat. The couches (pulvinar) were set out in the open street, or a temple forecourt, or in the case of ludi, in the pulvinar or viewing box, and a meal was served on a table before the couch.

History
Livy says that the ceremony took place "for the first time" in Rome in the year 399 BC, after a pestilence had caused the Sibylline Books to be consulted by the duumviri sacris faciundis, the two (later 10, and later 15) priestly officials who maintained the archive. Three couches were prepared for three pairs of gods—Apollo and Latona, Hercules and Diana, Mercury and Neptune. The feast lasted for eight (or seven) days, and was also celebrated by private individuals. The citizens kept open house, quarrels were forgotten, debtors and prisoners were released, and everything done to banish sorrow.

Similar honors were paid to other divinities in subsequent times: Fortuna, Saturnus, Juno Regina of the Aventine, the three Capitoline deities (Jupiter, Juno, Minerva). In 217 BC, after the Roman defeat at Lake Trasimene, a lectisternium was held for three days to six pairs of gods, corresponding to the Twelve Olympians of ancient Greek religion: Jupiter, Juno, Neptune, Minerva, Mars, Venus, Apollo, Diana, Vulcan, Vesta, Mercury, Ceres.

In 205 BC, alarmed by unfavorable prodigies, the Romans were ordered to fetch the Great Mother of the gods from Pessinus in Phrygia; in the following year the image was brought to Rome, and a lectisternium held. In later times, the lectisternium became a constant or even daily occurrence, celebrated in the different temples. Occasionally the "Draping of Couches" was part of Roman Triumph celebrations. Aulus Hirtius reports that Julius Caesar was greeted with "draped dining couches" following his victory in Gaul, in anticipation of a forthcoming triumph. Such celebrations must be distinguished from those which were ordered, like the earlier lectisternia, by the Sibylline Books in special emergencies.

In the Imperial era, chairs were substituted for couches in the case of goddesses, and the lectisternium in their case became a sellisternium. This was in accordance with Roman custom, since in the earliest times all the members of a family sat at meals, and in later times at least the women and children. This is a point of distinction between the original practice at the lectisternium and the epulum Jovis, the goddesses at the latter being provided with chairs, whereas in the lectisternium they reclined.

In Christian times the word was used for a feast in memory of the dead.

Origins
Offerings of food were made to the gods in very early Roman times on such occasions as the ceremony of confarreatio, and the epulum Jovis (often conflated with the lectisternium). The lectisternia, however, are likely of Greek origin. The Greek theoxenia (Θεοξένια) is similar, except that the gods played the part of host. The gods associated with it were either previously unknown to Roman religion, though often concealed under Roman names, or were provided with a new cult. Thus Hercules was not worshipped as at the Ara Maxima, where, according to Servius and Cornelius Balbus a lectisternium was forbidden. The Sibylline Books, which decided whether a lectisternium was to be held or not, were of Greek origin; the custom of reclining at meals was Greek.

Some, however, assign an Etruscan origin to the ceremony, the Sibylline Books themselves being looked upon as old Italian "black books." It may be that as the lectisternia became an almost everyday occurrence in Rome, people forgot their foreign origin and the circumstances in which they were first introduced, and then the word pulvinar with its associations was transferred to times in which it had no existence.

Narrowing the scope
This is sort of a weird article in that it's an article on "proton and neutron" when there are already very nice articles on proton and neutron. In my view it doesn't make sense to go on about particle-physics details of the proton or neutron, because anyone interested in that should be reading proton or neutron. For example, the relationship between proton decay and grand unified theories is neat, but shouldn't be in this article, it should be in proton. I deleted it except for a little parenthetical. I tried to make the article more restricted in scope: The proton and neutron together, as a pair, and as the building block of nuclei, plus their very basic properties that are relevant for nuclear physics. The QCD section seems OK, but I'm surprised that these models don't apply equally well to all baryons, not just the two nucleons. --Steve (talk) 05:23, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Apparently, an accurate illustration of the insides of a proton and neutron is complex, and the two are nearly identical.
 * Here you can see an image of proton and neutron compared
 * http://profmattstrassler.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/nucleons31.png
 * Seems like a good illustration to add to this article. I am asking Prof Matt Strassler for permission to use his illustration. Dc3 (talk) 19:26, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Historical Significance
Is this not an article primarily of historical significance? Was the name "nucleon" not coined prior to the discovery of the composite nature of protons and neutrons? The article should be retained, but annotated as primarily of historical significance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.204.163.5 (talk) 11:49, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

 * The name "proton" was also coined prior to the discovery of the composite nature of protons. Should the article on proton not discuss the modern understanding of protons? Most things are named before they're understood well. I don't see why that matters, as long as the name is still used.

 * I agree with you that there should be discussion of history and significance in the article. If you can write this section, feel free. I don't know much about the topic, or I'd do it myself. But the history should be in addition to a thorough discussion of the nature of nucleons as correctly understood today, IMO. --Steve (talk) 13:38, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

 * The term Nucleon is still widely used, so this article definitifely has a contemporary significance. In many quark models and QCD calculations one often does not distinguish between the up and down quarks, thus the nucleon really is a seen as a particle itself with its two different appearences as proton and neutron -> Isospin symmetry. But I also agree that a historical part in addition would be nice.User:RolteVolte 25 August 2010 —Preceding undated comment added 16:01, 25 August 2010 (UTC).

Fermions
The statement "The proton and neutron are both baryons and both fermions." does not seem right. Protons and neutrons are composed of fermions but they are not themselves fermions. ShelbyBell (talk) 13:38, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

 * According to Fermion, protons and neutrons can be both (a) fermions and (b) be composed of fermions. The definition is given as: "A fermion (named after Enrico Fermi) is any particle which obeys the Fermi–Dirac statistics (and follows the Pauli exclusion principle). Fermions contrast with bosons which obey Bose–Einstein statistics."--TraceyR (talk) 15:57, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Strange values in table for rest mass
The rest mass in MeV/c² of the antineutron in the table seems suspicious, since the text suggests that it should be the same as the neutron's rest mass and the rest mass in u is the same. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.62.236.144 (talk) 09:51, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Intro
"...a nucleon is one of the particles that make up the atomic nucleus." This is oddly phrased, as it implies there are other partices that make up the atomic nucleus besides nucleons. --Ivi104 (talk) 09:12, 8 November 2016 (UTC) Electrons do have mass, and could affect the mass of an atom if there are enough109.170.193.238 (talk) 10:51, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

And recall that sea quark interactions, which are part and parcel of QCD, contribute to the overall structure of a nucleus. A nucleus is not just a bunch of marbles in a bag. Qwerty123uiop (talk) 12:37, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Figure and table headings
The caption for the first figure is mistaken. Nucleons do not "dissociate into quarks" inside nuclei. Who on earth wrote that?

Also, the table of properties lists "Rest Mass" of particles. There is no mass but rest mass in modern physics understanding. OK, there is also "invariant mass" if you consider systems of particles. In any case, calling something a "rest mass" implies that there is another type. There is not.

I plan to adjust these details soon. Qwerty123uiop (talk) 22:57, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

nucleon magnetic moments
I have beefed up the paragraph on the nucleon magnetic moments, partly to reflect the new merged article nucleon magnetic moment. As a former particle physics student, I have marveled at how little attention these magnetic moments have received, historically (at least in my aged education). I surmise that particle physics wore blinders about that topic, because of the decades that went by where these odd magnetic moments defied explanation. Witness the kamikaze runs that those such as S. Drell took at the issue attempting explanations by meson physics in the 1960s (see the aforementioned article). Its a curious history, IMO. Anyways, I emphasize the nucleon magnetic moments. Bdushaw (talk) 08:05, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Elaine Miles

Elaine Miles is a Native American actress best known for her role as Marilyn Whirlwind in the television series Northern Exposure. She's an enrolled citizen of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.

Early life
Elaine Miles was born in Pendleton, Oregon, on April 7, 1960. She is a citizen of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation with Cayuse/Nez Perce ancestry. She lived on the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Eastern Oregon until age three. Her family then moved to Renton, Washington, where her father was a Boeing machinist.

She learned skills and Indigenous art techniques skills in her youth, such as storytelling, beading, pottery and weaving, and she is a prize-winning powwow dancer.

Career
Miles was offered the role of Marilyn Whirlwind when she was spotted in the waiting room at an audition. This came as a surprise as she had not come with any intent to audition—she was only there to give her mother, Armenia Miles, a ride. She had no previous acting experience. She gained respect in the American Indian community, not only for portraying a Tlingit woman, but for her efforts to make sure the character was a culturally accurate representation. Miles was named Native American Woman of the Year in 1993, and America's Celebrity Indian of the Year in 1995.

In 1995, Miles was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award as part of the Northern Exposure cast in the category, Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.

Since Northern Exposure, Miles has done tours with her dancing and stand-up comedy, has emceed at numerous powwows, and had roles in independent films such as Smoke Signals, Skins and The Business of Fancydancing. With fellow comedian Drew LaCapa (Apache), she has made an exercise video ("RezRobics") addressing diabetes rates among Native Americans. The video mixes powwow dancing, martial arts, and aerobics moves with nutritional advice. In contrast to the usual FBI warning, the creators encourage people to copy the video freely and distribute it among friends and relatives in Indian Country.

Andrew E. K. Benham

Andrew Ellicott Kennedy Benham (April 10, 1832 – August 11, 1905) was an American rear admiral. In his early career, he served in China, the Pacific and Paraguay. During the American Civil War, he took part in the capture of Port Royal, South Carolina, and patrolled the Texas coast as part of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron.

Early life
Andrew Ellicott Kennedy Benham was born on April 10, 1832, in Staten Island, New York, near New Dorp. He was the son of Navy Commander Timothy Green Benham and Juliet Lockman.

Early career
Benham was appointed a midshipman on November 24, 1847, and served in the East Indies Squadron on board the sloop-of-war USS Plymouth (1844) in 1847 and 1848 and on board the brig USS Dolphin (1836) in 1849 and 1850. In the latter warship, he participated in the capture of a pirate Chinese junk near Macau, China. During this action, he received a pike wound in the thigh. After another tour of duty in Plymouth followed by one in the frigate USS Saranac (1848), Benham attended the U.S. Naval Academy and graduated in 1853.

Paraguay expedition
On June 10, 1853, he was promoted to passed midshipman. From mid-1853 to early 1857, he served in the sloop of war USS St. Mary's (1844) with the Pacific Squadron. On September 16, 1855, while still in St. Mary's, Benham was commissioned a lieutenant. He next served a tour of duty with the United States Coast Survey late in 1857 and early in 1858. Later that year, he was transferred to the steamer Western Port (renamed Wyandotte) assigned to the expedition sent to Paraguay to extract an apology for shooting at the gunboat USS Water Witch (1851). In 1860, he moved to the steamer USS Crusader (1858) in the Home Squadron.

American Civil War
In October 1861, Benham joined the steamer USS Bienville in the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron and, in her, participated in the Battle of Port Royal, on November 7, 1861. Benham was promoted to lieutenant commander on July 16, 1862. Following brief service on the sloop USS Sacramento (1862) as a part of the blockade, in September 1863, he assumed command of the gunboat Penobscot and served in her through July 1865, patrolling the Texas coast as part of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron.

Post-Civil War
After the war, he served at the New York Navy Yard from 1866 to 1870, but for a stint of duty in USS Susquehanna (1850) in 1867. During this time, he was promoted to commander. Following duty as a lighthouse inspector in 1870 and 1871, Benham commanded first Canonicus and then USS Saugus (1863), both on the North Atlantic Station and returned to lighthouse inspecting in 1874. He was promoted to captain in March 1875. After commanding USS Richmond (1860) on the Asiatic Station between 1878 and 1881, he went to the Portsmouth Navy Yard. The years 1885 and 1886 brought him his third tour of duty as lighthouse inspector. During this period, he was promoted to commodore. Following a tour of duty at League Island, Pennsylvania, in 1888, he became commandant of the Mare Island Navy Yard in 1889. In February 1890, he was promoted to rear admiral.

In 1892, Benham went to Spain on the USS Newark in commemoration of the 400th Anniversary of Columbus' sailing. He was known for breaking the blockade of the Port of Rio de Janeiro during the Revolta de Armada in 1893. He participated in the investigation against Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley after the Battle of Santiago. Benham commanded the North Atlantic Station from June 30, 1893 to January 1894 and commanded the South Atlantic Station from January 12 to April 10, 1894, when he was placed on the retired list. He afterward served as prize commissioner for the Georgia district from July 1898 to February 6, 1899, and was a member of the Board of Awards.

Personal life
He married Emma Hester Seaman (1833–1924), the daughter of Henry John Seaman (1805–1861) and Katherine Sarah (née Seaman) Seaman (1813–1896). They had three children: a daughter who died in infancy c. 1866; Henry Kennedy Benham born in 1867 and who died of appendicitis in 1904; and Edith Wallace Benham (1874–1962), who married James Meredith Helm and served for 25 years as the Social Secretary for the White House under Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Harry Truman.

After retiring, Benham lived at 1315 20th Street NW in Washington, D.C. In April 1897, his house on Fresh Kill Road in Staten Island burned down. Benham died on August 11, 1905, at his summer home in Mahopac, New York. He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Namesakes
Three U.S. Navy ships have subsequently been named in his honor:
 * USS Benham (DD-49), an Aylwin-class destroyer launched in 1913.
 * USS Benham (DD-397), the lead destroyer of the Benham-class destroyer, which sank in battle in 1942.
 * USS Benham (DD-796), a Fletcher-class destroyer which operated during World War II.
 * Benham Rise in the Philippine Sea west of Luzon was named after him.

J. Earl McEwen

Joseph Earl McEwen (January 22, 1911 – November 6, 2004) was a politician in Ontario, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1975 to 1985.

Background
McEwen was born at Sharbot Lake, Ontario, and educated in Trenton. He was an active freemason. He owned a grocery store and decided to enter politics after the municipal government of Kingston denied him permission to salt the street in front of his business. He served as reeve of the community for sixteen years, and was warden of Frontenac County as well as president of the local Progressive Conservative association.

Politics
He ran for the House of Commons of Canada in the federal elections of 1963 and 1965, as a candidate of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada in Kingston. He lost on both occasions to Liberal candidate Edgar Benson.

McEwen first campaigned for the Ontario legislature in the 1971 provincial election. After losing the Progressive Conservative nomination in Frontenac—Addington to W.J. Nuttall, he entered the contest as an independent candidate and finished a credible third. McEwen subsequently joined the Ontario Liberal Party, and defeated Nuttall by 1,415 votes under his new party's banner in the 1975 election.

He was re-elected by 940 votes in the 1977 election, and by 340 votes in the 1981 election. He crossed the floor to join the Progressive Conservative Party in 1984, complaining that the Liberal Party was going nowhere under David Peterson's leadership. McEwen had been known in the Liberal caucus as a difficult figure, and rarely attended meetings. Some believe he wanted to ensure his own re-election by changing sides. The Progressive Conservatives had planned to nominate Sally Barnes, a prominent aide to Premier William Davis, to challenge him in the next election.

Despite languishing in the polls throughout 1984, the Liberals made significant gains in the 1985 provincial election and formed a minority government with outside support from the New Democratic Party. McEwen lost the Frontenac—Addington constituency to Liberal candidate Larry South by 2,387 votes.

Later life
McEwen died in 2004 at age 93, and the legislature paid tribute to him on December 14 of that year. He was predeceased by his wife and his son Robert and is survived by three granddaughters and seven great-grandchildren. Bob Runciman described him as a larger-than-life figure in the political culture of eastern Ontario. During his career as a politician, McEwen was known for touring his constituency in a two-door Lincoln, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and smoking a prominent cigar. He often complained that little real work was done in the assembly, and said that he preferred to spend time in his community. There is currently a J. Earl McEwen Fire Hall in Kingston, and another building was named in his honour in 2005.
