Talk:Directorate-General

Collaboration suggestions
It is a bit typical that I will be unavailable for the next week or so now when the DGs have become the collaboration project. I will try to participate, but I cannot promise anything. As for the tasks that I had imagined, they would be something like this:
 * 1) Create stubs for all the DGs in line with Directorate-General of the Joint Research Centre, i.e.
 * 2) *Mission
 * 3) *Structure - including staff and management (commissioner and Director General).
 * 4) *Resources
 * 5) Create and expand the collective articles for EU General Services, Internal Services, and External Relations. This is a bit troublesome since their structure and purpose are not clear.  The naming standard for these articles is not set either (as opposed to the DGs).
 * 6) Expand the individual DG articles. I do not think that we have to be very detailed when writing the individual DG articles. The DGs change from year to year and, for instance, structure on a Directorate level change quite frequently and thus probably does not need to be listed as in the DG Infso article. Heads of Unit are obviously not of interest either and Jesús Villasante should probably be deleted.

Remember that some articles might already exist and only have to be linked in on the collective articles, e.g.DG Translation

There is an old discussion about article naming etc. on the EU Wikiproject talkpage. --Drdan 10:13, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Role of Commissioner vs Director-General
I do not think that all DGs are headed by its own Commissioner, e.g. JRC which shares Comissioner with DG Research. What is the division of responsibility between the Director General and the Commissioner in the cases where both exists? --Drdan 13:44, 14 October 2005 (UTC) (Moved from top of page to this section) --LiniShu 03:13, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I'd also be interested in the answer to this question. For starters, I'm going to state what may be obvious to all of you Europeans, but is a new understanding to a non-European like me:
 * The Commissioners are the 27 (currently) Commissioners of the European Commission, one from each member state of the European Union, appointed by the member states in agreement with the President of the European Commission. The Commission is divided into departments known as Directorates-General (DG) that can be likened to government ministries. Each Directorate-General is supervised by a senior civil servant known as the Director-General, who reports directly to the Commissioner or Commissioners responsible for that policy area.  (This all comes directly from the European Commission article.)  So, we know from the above that the Director-Generals report to the Commissioners, but not much yet about division of responsibility.  Also, I am curious about how the Director-Generals obtain their posts.  Thanks to anyone who can explain more --LiniShu 03:27, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Good work Linishu! We needed someone to kickstart things! As for the Commissioner/Directorate General question:  Officially the Director Generals and other senior civil servants are hired on a meritocratic basis, but there is a semi-official quota per country that also has an effect on the selection.  The process is different from regular civil servants that have to go through a filtering process called the "concours" arranged by the European Personel Selection Office (EPSO) - BTW this years concours had 55.000 applicants to 300 civil servant positions . "Senior management & advisory functions"  (unit head and up) are selected by a panel of "experts and politicians".  I have not been able to find the exact rules for their selection.  As for the division of responsibility according to Understanding the European Union: A Concise Introduction (John McCormick, 2005, ISBN 1403944512) the Director Generals are responsble for running the DGs according to the policy set-up by the Commissioner and Parliament... but I am not sure how to interpret this.  --Drdan 10:41, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Naming Conventions
I'd like to revisit the area of naming conventions, on a different topic, though, than the original discussion on EU Wikiproject talkpage. Directorate-General and Director-General are generic terms. They are also used by other political jurisdictions in addition to the European Commission. I did find a draft proposal Naming conventions (government departments and ministers) described as "under consideration", that might apply.

In an attempt to be more precise, I've named the article about the DG-Agriculture, that I created today, Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development (European Commission). The names of the other articles created so far, are: giving us three alternative forms, so far, thus: I'm calling for some discussion leading to a consensus of which naming convention we should use. If we go with something different than my decision for the agriculture article, then I'll take responsibility for moving the article and fixing any links to it. Thanks, in advance, all, for your opinions! --LiniShu 04:40, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Directorate-General
 * Directorate-General for Information Society and Media
 * Directorate-General of the Joint Research Centre
 * Directorate-General for Research
 * Directorate-General for Translation of the European Commission
 * , no jurisdiction specified
 *  of the European Commission
 *  (European Commission)

 * Ooops! I just created a couple of articles without first checking your post here.  I think that the suggestion to add (European Commission) is good.  Before reading this I renamed the articles for General Services from EU General Services to General Services in the European Commission, and the eqvivalent for the Internal Services.  I suppose that that is in line with your suggestion.  The (European Commission) still has to be added to the existing articles.  --Drdan 10:20, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

 * That proposal to pre-disambiguate by putting (European Commission) in brackets makes a good argument. I agree that we should follow the suggestions it makes. I suggest we don't disambiguate anything with "Euro" in it, however. Talrias (t | e | c) 12:44, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Structure in template
Another question with regards to the naming standard. Since there are just too many DGs to list them all and since the official website list the DGs in a hierarchical way, I decided to do the same when I created the template. I have however now realised that this probably was not a good idea. The DGs currently collected by the External Relations page are just as relevant as the DGs listed directly on the template. The Services DGs on the other hand are not particularly relevant for the broader audience. Consequently, I am considering to redo the template using the three-group structure internal/external/services. This would add another five DGs to the template. Any thoughts? --Drdan 10:20, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

To do list created
I've made a novice attempt :) at a to do list for the EU DG articles, at WikiProject European Union/DG to do. For those of us who like checking off items on a list, there is an area to keep track of articles to be created/ articles already created for the DGs.  Please feel free to refine it.  --LiniShu 05:13, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Directorate General of the European Court of Justice
a previous deleted Directorate General page contained "Directorate General of the European Court of Justice". Alinor (talk) 09:40, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Change to disambiguation page?
This page begins with a sort-of disambiguation section, signposting to four different types of Directorate-General. It then includes an overview of the EU Commission DGs, which is also given at European Civil Service.

I'm not sure there's much value in having an article about Directorates-General as a concept in the abstract (whatever there is to say about them could probably go under Ministry (government department) or Departmentalization). So I would propose changing this article into a disambiguation page. Charlie A. (talk) 13:44, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Jacquie Durrell

Jacqueline Sonia Durrell (née Wolfenden; born 17 November 1929 in Manchester, United Kingdom) is a British author. Born Jacquie Wolfenden, she married naturalist Gerald Durrell and worked alongside him for many years. She assisted him on several of his animal collecting expeditions, and with Jersey Zoo that he founded. The Durrells divorced in 1979.

Marriage to Gerald Durrell
She was born Jacqueline Sonia Wolfenden. Jacquie was 19 when she met Gerald Durrell, during his first stay in her father's hotel in Manchester after an animal-collecting expedition. The two began dating, although initially Jacquie claimed that she was very reluctant to become Durrell's girlfriend. Jacquie's father did not approve of her relationship with Durrell, and was completely antipathetic towards the idea of the couple's marriage, chiefly because he considered that Durrell had no money and apparently no career prospects. Jacquie could not marry without her parents' permission until she was 21, so after her 21st birthday, she and Durrell eloped and married in Bournemouth on 26 February 1951. Gerald Durrell's mother, sister Margaret Durrell and brother Leslie Durrell helped to organise and attended the wedding and subsequent party. In marrying Durrell, Jacquie gave up her potential career as an opera singer for which she had been in training since the age of 17. She also gave up her relationship with her father – after her elopement, she never spoke to any of her relatives again.

After their marriage, lack of money prevented Jacquie and Gerald from renting a place of their own, and so they lived in a cramped bedsitter in the Bournemouth guest house owned and run by Durrell's sister Margaret Durrell, who offered them the place rent-free. Despite her initial trepidation, Jacquie was completely accepted by and liked all members of the Durrell family, including famous author Lawrence Durrell, a meeting with whom she describes in Beasts in My Bed.

Jacquie, together with Lawrence Durrell, encouraged Gerald to write books about his animal-collecting expeditions, in order to make money to fund both their everyday lives and new expeditions. In Gerald Durrell's autobiographical books, Jacquie is typically portrayed as a supportive spouse, who is not squeamish with or perturbed by animals.

Jacquie also helped run Jersey Zoo and found the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust (now the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust), though she never held any official post. She was also the central figure in organising one of the expeditions to Argentina, her role in which is described in Gerald Durrell's The Whispering Land. Jacquie was popular with the Jersey Zoo staff and affectionately known as "Mrs. D". Despite her support for her husband's work, she was occasionally overwhelmed by Durrell's total devotion to it, and felt that the zoo took over their lives and left them with no free space to develop their own relationship.

Jacquie featured in three TV series presented by Gerald Durrell: To Bafut With Beagles, BBC (1958), Look (Argentinian Expedition), single episode of series, BBC (1961) and Two in the Bush, BBC (1963).

She separated from and divorced Gerald Durrell in 1979, citing his increasing work pressure, and associated alcoholism.

Books
Jacquie Durrell is the author of two autobiographical accounts concerning her life with Gerald Durrell, Beasts in My Bed (footnotes by Gerald Durrell) (Collins, 1967), and Intimate Relations (Collins, 1976). Both of her books are written in the same humorous, light-hearted tone as her husband's own accounts. They have a dry wit and humour, and Beasts in My Bed also features (often deliberately contradictory) footnotes by Gerald Durrell. Her books have been translated into several languages, including Russian, Dutch, Hungarian and Latvian.

Jacquie Durrell went on a number of animal collecting expeditions with Gerald Durrell and, in addition to describing these in her own books, her participation is featured in a number of Durrell's books, including:
 * Argentina (1954, 1958) (The Drunken Forest, The Whispering Land)
 * Cameroon (1957) (A Zoo in My Luggage – an account of her meeting with the Fon of Bafut Achirimbi II is described here)
 * New Zealand-Australia-Malaysia (1961) (Two in the Bush)
 * Mexico (1966) (Catch Me a Colobus)

Talk:EMD SD45T-2

Untitled
The production total of the SD45T-2 locomotive was 247, not 248. The SP 9220 was wrecked in Tucson, AZ in January 1973 and rebuilt with the same frame number by the Sacramento General Shops as the SP 9314. That is why you have the anomaly of 248 number slots, but only 247 frame numbers. The SP 9314 is the sole occupant of SP Class EF636-11 and was redelivered to the Southern Pacific in April 1974.

Paniliakos F.C.

Paniliakos Football Club (Πανηλειακός Α.Ο. Πύργου) is a Greek association football club based in Pyrgos, Elis, Greece. It plays its home matches at the Pyrgos Stadium.

Paniliakos was the team of Serbia and Montenegro international Predrag Đorđević, before moving to Olympiacos, Greece international Stelios Giannakopoulos, and of Vassilis Lakis, also a Greece international.

Early years
The football at Pyrgos began to spread, in particular, in the early 20th century. Initially, it was embraced by popular mass and gradually gaining more and more people. Pittsburghs with improvised balls in each neighborhood were, with time passing, into the new sport and they loved football. One of the first football matches in Pyrgos was the struggle of a group of Pyrgians against a group of English workers who lived in the port of Katakolo. The history of football in the form of clubs in Pyrgos begins during the interwar period. One of the first teams of the city (along with Ermis Pyrgos) was Iraklis Pyrgos, who had been unofficially founded in 1918 and gained an official statute in 1923. He had fought with claims in the championship of the FCA Patras, since Elis did not have her own football league, having even claimed the title in some cases (in 1931 she had quite a strong team finishing, finally, as 2nd). Heracles was based in the area of the old hospital, while the chairman of the team was the factory-owner Karavasilis. The colors of Hercules were blue and white. One of the most powerful Pyrgos teams, as well as one of the teams that later created Panileo, was the National Tower. The National was founded in 1927, but after a while, the club was inactive and re-established in 1938. He also fought at the National Technical University of Athens Patron. The Ethnikos team was particularly popular in the working class, as it was basically a group of the people, and many times he did not have a chairman, or his position was of no particular importance. Of course, the chairman of the team was also the founder of Paniliakos, Nikos Lampaounas. The National was fighting in the area where the National Stadium is currently located, and he also had, at times, a quite credible team. The colors of the team were green and white. The third team of Pyrgos, with the association of which Paniliakos was created with the two above, was AEK. Pyrgos, which was created in 1929 by G. Pavlidis. The AEK. it re-opened after the end of the war in 1944. Its colors, of course, were yellow and black and had its headquarters in the area of Chalikiatika. She also played in the championship of the FCA Patras. From AEK Pyrgos' great players, who later starred in Paniliakos, such as Theodoros Theocharopoulos and Michalis Kladidianos. In 1956–57, the three Pyrgos teams had a very bad year finishing last in the Regional Championship of the FCA Patras. Thus, the big decision was taken that would change the history of football in Pyrgos and Elis, in general, for the creation of a unified club in the city.

Formation
In 1957, Iraklis Pyrgos, Ethnikos Pyrgos and AEK Pyrgos they will unite and make Paniliakos (although the official year of the team is founded in 1958), choosing as the colors of the new club the red and the white. Paniliakos was the team that was to become the most powerful of Elis. The choice of the name wanted to show the representation of the general region of Elis by the club. The following year, Paniliakos and Apollon Pyrgos (players of Apollon) were to be included. From 1958 until 1965, Paniliakos would compete in the championship of the Hellenic Football Championship of Patras, just like the previous groups of Pyrgos (had lost the rise to the Second National since the Thyella Patras in 1963). In the year 1965–66, the 3rd National category will be established and Paniliakos will participate in it. In the 1970–71 season with AEK's old ace, Kostas Nestoridis, on the bench will win the 2nd National Division (preceded by the 1969–70 and the 1964–65 in Olympiacos Patras). 1971–72 will be the first time the team will take part in the 2nd National Championship. From there on, Paniliakos would move between the 2nd and 3rd National. The 1982–83 season will be the last year for Paniliakos in the 2nd National, as in 1983 he will be relegated after a bad year to 3rd National where he will stay until the 1986–87 season. From then on, there will be the "stone" years of the team, since 1987–88, the Paniliakos competitor with many problems (mainly administrative) will be demoted by the 4th National. Thus, the 1988–89 season will find Paniliakos in the history of the competitor in the 1st class of the National Technical University of Athens Elis. However, where everything seemed ominous for the future of the club, after the instigation of some of his close friends, the Elder businessman, Sakis Stavropoulos, will take over the leadership of the club and the team will find in his face the president who had not never. So, in the 1988–89 season, Paniliakos will make a walk and win the rally in Delta Ethniki, meeting only resistance from the fellow citizen. Tower '79 and gradually starting his journey towards the return. During the 1989–90 season, Paniliakos will compete in Delta Ethniki and will win the championship with Juan Ramón Rocha as a coach-coach, in a year when the Tower team scored a record number of tickets. In the season 1993–94, Paniliakos will finish first in the 3rd National Division breaking all records with 24 wins and only 4 defeats, and completed the league with 91 goals active against just 25 goals pass, thus, the ticket for the 2nd National. In the period 1994–95, Paniliakos will return (after 11 years absence) to the 2nd National. With his roster as a landmark player for Greek football, such as Predrag Đorđević, Zoran Slišković and Stelios Giannakopoulos, will finish first in the league and will become the first and only team to date in Elis that will have played in A National.

Recent years
The Pyrgos team will immediately gain the appreciation of the audience thanks to the beautiful and passionate football that will be presented, while the world of Pyrgos and Elis, in general, will stand beside it by flooding the National Stadium Pyrgos. The 1996–97 season will undoubtedly be the best year for Paniliakos after finishing in 7th with 13 wins and in the first round the team will be placed in the top positions of the table. Paniliakos' presence in Ethniki will continue until 2000–01, when the team, after 6 years of continuous presence and amazing performances, wins historical victories against all major Greek football teams, will return to the 2nd National a notorious barrage with Panachaiki where Paniliakos witnessed an inexplicable arbitration, which left no room for doubt as to which team would be devalued. In the 2 nd National, Paniliakos would stay for 2 years as in 2003–04, Paniliakos would return to the 1st National. Unfortunately, this time, the presence of the team in the "big lounges" would only last for one year, after the end of the season he would find Paniliakos in the penultimate position of the scoring and with the offensive offensive for every Pyrgos fan- follower of the team, last match with Panathinaikos, who would finalize the downgrading of the team to the 2nd National. A fight, which was banned from entering the fans and fans of Panileiakos by the team administration. After 2004, the team's progress was declining, facing huge economic problems and reaching the demo to the 4th National. In the 2009–10 season, Paniliakos will finish 1st in the 6th Group of the 4th National Team, thus climbing to the 3rd National and filling again with hopes for the future fans-fans, who continued to be next to it and support their favorite team. In 2012–13, Paniliakos will win the rally in the 2nd National Championship, after the restructuring of the championships. In the next few years, they will find the team of various executives who will try to exploit their involvement in their management team for their benefit and lead Paniliakos to the most black side of his story, as in the middle of the 2014 season / 15 will be forced to withdraw from the 2nd National Championship, while in the 2015–16 season the team will not be able to go down to the Third National Championship, remaining inactive and relegated to A1 FCA Elis. However, this year, Paniliakos will find a new administration, consisting of a group of important businessmen in the city, aiming at the immediate return of the team to the National categories, as well as the joy and optimism of the team returning to the group's friends of the Tower.

Bagimonds Roll

Bagimonds Roll was a roll used for taxation in Scotland. In 1274 the council of Lyons imposed a tax of a tenth part of all church revenues during the six following years for the relief of the Holy Land. In Scotland, Pope Gregory X, entrusted the collection of this tax to Master Boiamund (better known as Bagimund) de Vitia, a canon of Asti, whose roll of valuation formed the basis of ecclesiastical taxation for some centuries.

Boiamund proposed to assess the tax, not according to the old conventional valuation but on the true value of the benefices at the time of assessment. The clergy of Scotland objected to this innovation, and, having held a council at Perth in August 1275, prevailed upon Boiamund to return to Rome for the purpose of persuading the pope to accept the older method of taxation. The pope insisted upon the tax being collected according to the true value, and Boiamund returned to Scotland to superintend its collection.

A fragment of Bagimond's Roll in something very like its original form is preserved at Durham, and has been printed by James Raine in his Priory of Coldingham (Publications of the Surtees Society, vol. xii.). It gives the real values in one column and tenth parts in another column of each of the benefices in the archdeaconry of Lothian: The actual taxation to which this fragment refers was not the tenth collected by Boiamund but the tenth of all ecclesiastical property in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland granted by Pope Nicholas IV to Edward I of England in the year 1288. The fragment should therefore be regarded as supplementary to the Taxatio Ecclesiastics Angliae et Walliae printed by the Record Commissioners in 1802. Although no contemporary copy of Bagimond's Roll is known to exist, at least three documents give particulars of the taxation of the Church of Scotland in the 16th century, which are based upon the original roll.

FC Pistoiese SSD

Football Club Pistoiese SSD, commonly known as Pistoiese, is an Italian association football club, based in Pistoia, Tuscany. Currently, Pistoiese plays in Serie D. Originally founded on 21 April 1921, the club has also played Serie A on a number of occasions, most recently in 1980, and is also nicknamed Olandesina (the little Hollander) due to its usage of orange as official colours.

History
Since its inception la società arancione (Orange Society) founded on April 21, 1921, has been characterized by its European inclinations, being the city historically a crossroads of historical-religious paths to and from the geographical areas of the Old Continent.

It is no coincidence that among the protagonists of the birth of l’Arancione you will find the Hungarians Árpád Hajós and János Nehadoma, with the jersey inspired by that of Holland, which, like the city of Pistoia, boasts a strong floriculture.

In 1927, Pistoiese won their first major honours, the Arpinati Cup. After winning minor regional championships, they were elected to play in the National Division in 1928.

Between 1929 and 1936 they participated in the campionato cadetto finishing first on a couple of occasions. US Pistoiese played their last championship in 1939–40.

Pistoiese Sports Union
Competitive football resumed in 1945 when a group of fans re-founded the team as Pistoiese Sports Union and was admitted to the Serie C. The following were characterized by a series of ups and downs between Serie C, Serie D, and the Promozione Championship, with a brief period in Serie B immediately after the Second World War, in which a third-place position was reached.

From 1946 to 1956–57, the team fluctuated between the leagues until Vannino Vannucci rose to the presidency in 1956–57, and Pistoiese became a "Jewel in the Nile" at a cost of 100 million lire.

In the 1958–59 championship, Pistoiese went 21 consecutive games without defeat, in this time amassing 36 points from a possible 42 (2 points for a win) and scoring 45 goals. Most memorable is the match against Empoli, a local rival and competitor for the promotion. The Arancione won 6–0. The final standing that season read 77 goals scored and 24 conceded. After eight years, they had again reached Serie C.

In the 1960s, the team participated for ten consecutive seasons in Serie C.

U.S. Pistoiese
Pistoiese achieved prominence by rising to Serie B in the late 1970s with promotion to Serie A following in 1980. Under the presidency of Marcello Melani, who chose veterans like Marcello Lippi and Mario Frustalupi and promising young talents such as Paolo Benedetti, Pistoiese reached Serie A in just 6 years and made a reasonable start, reaching as high as 6th after a win at Fiorentina in Round 13. But a dismal freefall resulted in a last-place finish and relegation. Since 1980, the club has only managed two stretches in Serie B (1995–96 and 1999–2002). Melani left his post in 1980, followed by Lippi in 1981.

A.C. Nuova Pistoiese 1988
In the 2005–06 Serie C1/B campaign, Pistoiese battled against relegation from Serie C1 with goals proving hard to come by, yet having one of the best defensive records in the division. An excellent end to the season brought the team to a 9th-place finish in Group A, which was three points ahead of the relegation playoff. Pistoiese finished 14th in Group B in the 2007–08 season and competed in a relegation play-off against Sangiovannese. They won by 4–0 aggregate and remained in Lega Pro Prima Divisione (former Serie C1).

The Tuscan club started the 2008–09 season with Roberto Miggiano as head coach. Still, disappointing results and a last-place position in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione table led the club to replace him with Salvatore Polverino later in October. However, results did not improve under new boss Polverino, prompting him to tender his resignation in February 2009. He was replaced by former Juventus star Moreno Torricelli in his first stint as a professional head coach; under Torricelli's reign, Pistoiese managed to improve results and escape immediate relegation, ending in 16th place. Nevertheless, Pistoiese lost a play-off against Foligno and was relegated to Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.

In the summer of 2009, Pistoiese was not permitted enrollment in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione due to inadequate finances.

Unione Sportiva Pistoiese 1921
On 13 August 2009 Unione Sportiva Pistoiese 1921 was created by Pistoia's mayor, Berti. The club was admitted to Tuscany's Eccellenza league and had an excellent inaugural year. It reached the play-off for promotion, but it eventually lost to Mosciano.

In the 2010–11 season, it won Eccellenza Tuscany Group A and was thus promoted to Serie D. Pistoiese reacquired professional status after winning the Girone E of the 2013–14 Serie D, therefore ensuring a spot in the 2014–15 Lega Pro. In the following season, it reached the national play-offs for Serie B.

In January 2021, the club was acquired by German entrepreneur Stefan Lehmann, the first foreign owner in Pistoiese history. Despite the new owner, the team was relegated to Serie D after losing the tie against Imolese. In the following season (2022-23) Pistoiese fails to reach the first position (arriving second), thus not returning to Serie C.

In April 2024, after another takeover and the arrest of new owner Maurizio De Simone, Pistoiese failed to show up for the following two league games, thus forcing the football league to exclude the club from the Serie D.

FC Pistoiese (2024–current)
Following the exclusion of the old Pistoiese, a new ownership led by entrepreneur Sergio Iorio founded a new club and successively acquired the naming rights of the original Pistoiese at a blind auction. The club successively acquired the sports rights of Aglianese, this way ensuring themselves a place in the 2024–25 Serie D season, and announcing Massimo Taibi as their new sporting director.

The team's colors are orange and blue.

Talk:EMD SD40T-2

Only the Southern Pacific and Cotton Belt SD40T-2s were built with the 4400 gallon fuel tank. The Rio Grande units had the shorter 4000 gallon fuel tank. Cotton Belt owned 10 SD40T-2s. SSW9389 22:01, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Union Pacific never had all of these
http://utahrails.net/up-diesel-roster/up-diesel-roster-53.php

Only 231 of Southern Pacific's/Cotton Belt's 239 SD40T-2's and 69 of Rio Grande's 73 units were present at merger. Thus, the Union Pacific never had the entire fleet. So 12 units didn't make it to Union Pacific.

And I'm skeptical if all 312 were ever on the roster together when Rio Grande and Southern Pacific first merged like the article claims. It's quite likely that several of these that didn't survive to the Union Pacific acquisition were already gone before these two lines merged. Two Rio Grande units were retired in 1989 for the first from that fleet to go but I don't know if it was before or after May 1st when the operating departments of both lines became one (Although Rio Grande Industries bought Southern Pacific in 1988 so maybe that's the date we should be using even though they operated separately until the following year).

It seems likely that at least one of those 8 Southern Pacific units that Union Pacific didn't get had been retired prior to 1988/1989 although I lack that data. So it's very likely that the entire group was never together.

http://utahrails.net/drgw/rg-loco-chron.php — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.79.199.62 (talk) 04:05, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Edited the erroneous claim that Southern Pacific or Union Pacific ever held title to all surviving SD40T-2's.
Southern Pacific SD40T-2 #8507 was wrecked and retired in the mid 1980's, sold, repaired and entered lease service for Helm. Later they sold her and she moved to Southwestern Portland Cement's operation in Victorville California (January 1995 issue of Trains Magazine).

https://donsdepot.donrossgroup.net/dr1296.htm

Further, Don Strack states that D&RGW 5402 was wrecked on Tennessee Pass in 1989, sold to National Railway Equipment in 1991, and had wreck repairs completed in 1993. Leased to Canadian Pacific that year and then sold in June 1994 to CPR. The other three retired Rio Grande examples that didn't survive to the UP merger were scrapped after derailment damage.

September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows

September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, also known as 9/11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows or simply Peaceful Tomorrows, is an anti-war organization for survivors of the September 11, 2001 attacks and friends and family members of the victims.

It aims to develop and advocate nonviolent options and actions in the pursuit of justice, in the hope that this will help break what the members see as the cycles of violence engendered by war and terrorism.

Peaceful Tomorrows was launched on February 14, 2002, at a press conference at the United Nations headquarters by Colleen Kelly and other members of families that had lost members in the 9/11 attacks who did not want their grief to justify attacks such as the American bombing campaign in Afghanistan, and to ensure that these actions would not be done in their names and the names of their loved ones.

The International Network for Peace
The International Network for Peace is a project that grew out of Peaceful Tomorrows’ groundbreaking international conference "Civilian Casualties, Civilian Solutions" which took place on September 11, 2006, the five-year anniversary of 9/11.

In the weeks following, September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows brought conference participants to speak at several public events at American universities.

Acacia papyrocarpa

Acacia papyrocarpa, commonly known as western myall, is a tree in the family Fabaceae native to arid areas of central and western Australia.

Description
Western myall typically grows as a shrub or an upright tree to a height of 2 to 8 m but can grow as tall as 10 m. It has fissured grey coloured bark and a dense spreading to rounded crown. It has pendulous and hairy branchlets. Like most Acacia species, it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. These are greyish-green in colour, straight and flat, between 4 and 12 cm in length and 1 to 2 mm wide. The hairy phyllodes are acuminate with a fine curved and innocuous point that is not rigid and have many closely parallel indistinct nerves. It blooms between August and November producing rudimentary inflorescences. The flowers are yellow, and held in spherical clusters that are about 5 mm in diameter and contain 20 to 25 golden flowers. After flowering thin and flat seed pods form that have a length of about 11 cm and a width of 4 to 10 mm that are flat with a narrowly oblong shape. The subnitid dark brown seeds inside the pods have a broadly elliptic to ovate shape with a length of 4.5 to 5 mm.

Taxonomy
The species was first formally described by the botanist George Bentham in 1864 as part of the work Flora Australiensis. It was reclassified as Racosperma papyrocarpum by Leslie Pedley in 2003 then transferred back to genus Acacia in 2006. The only other synonyms are Acacia sowdeni and Acacia sowdenii.

Distribution
It is endemic to arid parts of central Australia, it occurs on limestone plains in southern Australia from Paynes Find in Western Australia eastwards into South Australia. There is also an anomalous specimen at Cooper Creek in Queensland. A weeping form of the species that grows at Roxby Downs, South Australia bears the common name water myall. It is commonly situated on low limestone rises, saline or clay flats where it grows in calcareous sandy loam or clay soils.

Bahut

A bahut is a portable chest, with a rounded lid covered in leather, garnished with nails, once used for the transport of clothes or other personal luggage, it was, in short, the original portmanteau. This ancient receptacle, of which mention is made as early as the 14th century—its traditional form is still preserved in many varieties of the travelling trunk—sometimes had its leather covering richly ornamented, and occasionally its interior was divided into compartments; but whatever the details of its construction it was always readily portable.

Towards the end of the 17th century the name fell into disuse, and was replaced by coffer, which probably accounts for its misuse by the French romantic writers of the early 19th century. They applied it to almost any antique sideboard, cupboard or wardrobe, and its use became hopelessly confused.

In architecture, this term is also used for a dwarf-wall of plain masonry, carrying the roof of a cathedral or church and masked or hidden behind the balustrade.

According to the Shorter Oxford Dictionary (3rd edition revised) "bahut" also means "a dress for masquerading".

Talk:Trisma

I would question whether this article is at the right name, whether it is accurate, and whether it ought to be merged elsewhere. Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary knoweth not trisma under that spelling; it does give trismus as a synonym for ankylostoma or lockjaw. It also mentions mouth infections and encephalitis as potential causes, as well as tetanus. I'm not a doctor and don't even play one on TV, but I though I'd ask. Smerdis of Tlön 13:55, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

 * The word 'trisma' is the feminine form of 'trismus' (see: Latin declension). Whether there is an actual difference in the medical definitions of the terms, I don't know. I suspect its just a grammatical error. 65.94.202.247 00:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

seems good to me
although i haven't yet seen this word in a reliable medical dictionary or whatever, googling "trisma" indicates that it is jaw clenching (as opposed to bruxism, teeth grinding, and trismus, lock jaw, which are definitely medical terms). one thing i'd like to add: i personally get trisma/jaw clenching when i take too much adderall (mixed amphetamine salts). I mean like one pill i dont get it, 2 pills i do, its just that tiny bit more that brings on this side effect. someone should find find a reference (an accepted medical organization/book/journal article) that can confirm that this is the right terminology
 * i'm almost certain trisma is the plural of trismus. I.e. these patients suffer multiple trisma. 15:43, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

couldn't find the term in pubmed
A quick search through pubmed only turned up 4 articles that contain the word trisma in their abstract - either it is an incorrect term or it is used very very rarely in medical literature.

Michitarō Komatsubara

Michitarō Komatsubara (小松原 道太郎) was a general in the Imperial Japanese Army, during the Nomonhan Incident.

Biography
A native of Yokohama in Kanagawa Prefecture, where his father was a naval engineer, Komatsubara graduated from the 18th class of the Imperial Japanese Army Academy in 1905. He served as a military attaché to Russia from 1909–1910, and became fluent in the Russian language. After his return to Japan, he was assigned to a number of staff positions within the Imperial Japanese Army General Staff and Supreme War Council (Japan). In 1914, he was part of the World War I Japanese Expeditionary Force at the Battle of Tsingtao.

On Komatsubara's return to Japan in 1915, he graduated from the 27th class of the Army Staff College and was assigned as commander of the IJA 34th Infantry Regiment.

From 1919, Komatsubara was assigned to the Soviet Branch of the 4th Section (European & American Military Intelligence), 2nd Bureau, of the Army General Staff. After spending 1926–1927 as an instructor at the War College, he returned to Moscow again as a military attache from 1927–1929.

After Komatsubara returned again to Japan, he became commander of the IJA 57th Infantry Regiment from 1930–1932. Two years later, he became Chief of the Harbin Special Agency in Manchukuo. He was promoted to major general in 1934 and returned to Japan to take command of the IJA 8th Infantry Brigade. Subsequently, from 1936–1937, he was commander of the 1st Imperial Guards Brigade.

Promoted to lieutenant general in 1936, he was reassigned to Manchukuo as commander of the IJA 23rd Division, and served on the staff of the Kwantung Army. He retired from the army on 31 January 1940, after more than 35 years of military service. While in retirement he joined the National Policy Research Association attending meetings, and sharing his knowledge and experience of both the Russians and the Battle of Khalkhin Gol (Nomonhan). Although General Komatsubara had an air of gentleness about him, he carried a sense of gloom. He was admitted to the Tokyo University hospital, where he was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Transferred to the army medical school, the general died on 6 October 1940 at age 55, less than eight months after retiring from the army.

The Hidden Hand (band)

The Hidden Hand was an American stoner rock and doom metal band from Maryland, formed in 2002 and dissolved in 2007.

Biography
The Hidden Hand was a trio formed by Scott "Wino" Weinrich (guitar and vocals) and Bruce Falkinburg (bass and vocals) and included 3 different drummers. Weinrich had previously been a member of such bands as The Obsessed, Saint Vitus, Spirit Caravan and Place of Skulls. Falkinburg was a professional recording engineer and his Phase Studios has been the commission site of works by Clutch, Sixty Watt Shaman and Stinking Lizaveta. The Hidden Hand released their debut 7" single De-Sensitized in late 2002 and was quickly followed by their first album, Divine Propaganda in 2003. A split LP/CD with Washington, D.C. band Wooly Mammoth followed. The release coincided with their appearance at the Emissions from the Monolith festival. Their second full-length album: Mother Teacher Destroyer was released on Southern Lord Records in 2004. After the release of that second LP original drummer Dave Hennessy left the band to focus more time on his own band: Ostinato. He was replaced by Evan Tanner. Tanner left the band in 2006 after the recording of their latest effort, The Resurrection of Whiskey Foote. He in turn was replaced by Matt Moulis, who has played in DC area bands Medic and Bison.

The band's output is a slight departure in style for Weinrich. Its psychedelic music influences are evident and it deals lyrically with politics, history and spirituality. In contrast to his previous bands, he has said: "The Hidden Hand is political."

Hidden Hand split up in August 2007.

Hugo Ibarra

Hugo Benjamín "Negro" Ibarra (born 1 April 1974), is an Argentine football manager and former player who played as a right back. He last managed Boca Juniors.

With 324 matches played, 10 goals scored and 15 titles won with Boca Juniors, Ibarra is considered the best right back in the history of the club.

Playing career
Born in Pirané Department, northern province of Formosa, Ibarra went to Santa Fe Province to start playing in Colón. It was a second division team when he started playing professionally in 1993, but two years later the team got promoted to first division. His performance called Boca Juniors' attention, and he was transferred to the club he would late refer to as "my home".

After three successful seasons in Boca, Ibarra moved to Europe. Because he did not have a European passport, Ibarra was loaned back to Boca Juniors after playing his first season in Portuguese FC Porto. Porto loaned him to French Monaco FC a year later, and then to Spanish RCD Espanyol.

Ibarra played six matches for Argentina national football team, including Copa América 1999. While in Monaco, the team reached UEFA Champions League finals, beating in its way such teams as Real Madrid and Chelsea, to later lose 3–0 to his former club Porto, club that owned him at that moment.

In July 2005, after some difficult negotiations due to the economic crisis in Argentina, Hugo Ibarra went back to Boca Juniors, his last team. On 18 April 2007, he got back to Argentina national football team, as Argentina's captain, to play a friendly match against Chile.

In September 2010, he announced his retirement from professional football.

Coaching career
At the end of 2011, Ibarra was hired in a youth coordinator role at Boca Juniors' youth academy. From the 2015 season, Ibarra became assistant coach of Boca's reserve team under manager Rolando Schiavi.

In 2021, he began in a new role where he would be the nexus between amateur football and the Football Council in Boca Juniors. On 17 August 2021, Boca's reserve team manager, Sebastián Battaglia, was appointed first-team manager on an interim basis, while Ibarra and Mauricio Serna took charge of the reserve team, also on an interim basis.

Ibarra was named interim manager of Boca in July 2022, after Battaglia was sacked. On 29 November, he was confirmed as manager for the upcoming season. On 28 March 2023, he was sacked by the club.

Al-Baladhuri

ʾAḥmad ibn Yaḥyā ibn Jābir al-Balādhurī (أحمد بن يحيى بن جابر البلاذري) was a 9th-century Muslim historian. One of the eminent Middle Eastern historians of his age, he spent most of his life in Baghdad and enjoyed great influence at the court of the caliph al-Mutawakkil. He travelled in Syria and Iraq, compiling information for his major works.

His full name was Ahmad Bin Yahya Bin Jabir Al-Baladhuri (أحمد بن يحيى بن جابر البلاذري), Balazry Ahmad Bin Yahya Bin Jabir Abul Hasan or Abi al-Hassan Baladhuri.

Biography
Al Baladhuri's ethnicity has been described as Persian by his contemporaries including Ibn Nadim, but some scholars have surmised that he was of Arab descent solely since he spent most of his life in Baghdad. This is problematic since many Persians are known to have not only resided, but also gained considerable influence in Baghdad. Also, it is known that Baladhuri was a Persian speaker who translated Persian works to Arabic. Nonetheless, his sympathies seem to have been strongly with the Arabs, for Masudi refers to one of his works in which he rejects Baladhuri's condemnation of non-Arab nationalism Shu'ubiyya. He is certainly not the first Persian scholar to have sympathies with the Arabs, scholars of the same era such as Ibn Qutayba were also vocal opponents of Shu'ubiyaa.

He lived at the court of the caliphs al-Mutawakkil and Al-Musta'in and was tutor to the son of al-Mutazz. He died in 892 as the result of a drug called baladhur (hence his name). (Baladhur is Semecarpus anacardium, known as the "marking nut"; medieval Arabic and Jewish writers describe it as a memory-enhancer).

Works
His chief extant work a condensation of a longer history, Kitab Futuh al-Buldan (فتوح البلدان), "Book of the Conquests of Lands", translated by Phillip Hitti (1916) and Francis Clark Murgotten (1924) in The Origins of the Islamic State, tells of the wars and conquests of the Arabs from the 7th century, and the terms made with the residents of the conquered territories. It covers the conquests of lands from Arabia west to Egypt, North Africa, and Spain and east to Iraq, Iran, and Sind.

His history, in turn, was much used by later writers. Ansab al-Ashraf (أنساب الأشراف, “Lineage of the Nobles”), also extant, is a biographical work in genealogical order devoted to the Arab aristocracy, from Muhammad and his contemporaries to the Umayyad and Abbāsid caliphs. It contains histories of the reigns of rulers.

His discussions of the rise and fall of powerful dynasties provide a political moral. His commentaries on methodology are sparse, other than assertions of accuracy.

John Say

Sir John Say (1415 – 12 April 1478) was an English courtier, MP and Speaker of the House of Commons.

He was the son of John Say (born before 1445) and his wife Maud. His brother, [Master] William Say, was Dean of the Chapel Royal, Master of the Hospital of St Anthony, London and Dean of St Paul's. Sir John owned land at Baas, Broxbourne, Little Berkhamsted and Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, and Lawford, Essex

Sir John Say trained as a lawyer and became a King's Serjeant, Coroner of the Marshalsea, Yeoman of the Chamber and Crown, Keeper of Westminster Palace, Squire of the Body and Privy Councillor.

In 1447 he entered Parliament as MP for Cambridge and was then in 1449 elected Knight of the Shire for Cambridgeshire, when he was also elected Speaker of the House of Commons. In June 1449 he was made Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and in 1449 was appointed sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk. By 1450, he was out of favor and in 1451 the Commons demanded his banishment from the court. However, he was pardoned in 1452.

From 1453 to 1478 he represented Hertfordshire in several Parliaments and was chosen to serve as speaker from 1463 to 1465 and again 1467 to 1468. In 1455 (until 1478 in three terms under Henry Bourchier, 1st Viscount Bourchier, 1st Earl of Essex) he held the post of under-Treasurer of the Exchequer and from 1476 that of Keeper of the Great Wardrobe.

He was made Knight of the Bath in 1465.

He died on 12 April 1478.

Marriage
He married (1st) about 11 Nov. 1446 (grant of the king) Elizabeth, widow of Sir Frederick Tilney of Ashwellthorpe, Norfolk, and daughter of Sir Laurence or Lawrence Cheney (or Cheyne), Esq. (c. 1396 - 1461), of Fen Ditton, Fen Drayton, and Long Stanton, Cambridgeshire, Eaton (in Eaton Socon) and Pavenham, Bedfordshire, Irchester, Northamptonshire, etc., Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, 1429–30, 1435–6, Knight of the Shire for Cambridgeshire, 1431, 1432, 1435, 1442, by Elizabeth, daughter of John Cokayne, of Berwardecote, Brunaldeston, and Hatton, Derbyshire, Chief Baron of the Exchequer, 1401, Justice of the Common Pleas, 1405–29, Chief Steward of the Duchy of Lancaster (Northern parts). His wife, Elizabeth, died 2 September 1473. The couple had issue, including:
 * Anne Say, who married Sir Henry Wentworth of Nettlestead, de jure 4th Baron Despenser.
 * Mary Say
 * Elizabeth Saye

Say married (2nd) before 9 Oct. 1474 Agnes Danvers, widow successively of John Fray, Knt., Chief Baron of Exchequer, and John Wenlock, K.G., Lord Wenlock, Speaker of the House of Commons, Chief Butler of England, Chamberlain of the Duchy of Lancaster, joint Treasurer of Ireland, Lieutenant of Calais, and daughter of John Danvers, Knt., Ipswell and Colthorpe, Oxfordshire.

Death
Sir John and Lady Elizabeth Say are buried together at Broxbourne, Hertfordshire. Say had contracted the mason Robert Stowell to extend the south aisle of St Augustine's Church and prepare a tomb in June 1476.

They were survived by seven of their eight children (three sons and four daughters). Sir John Say was an ancestor of Jane Seymour, third wife of King Henry VIII. He was succeeded by his son William, who also became an MP and Sheriff for Hertfordshire.

Quite a vague article
It mentions an "Investors in People framework" but doesn't even outline what that is. The article doesn't give a very clear idea of what this organisation does or why it is useful. Equinox (talk) 12:11, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Adding to the page
For a company that has been around for over 25 years and was reported to have over one third of the UK workforce working for recognised Investors in People companies, there really isn't a lot of information on this page. I have added examples of historic and current research and some insight into the numbers of organisations that have been recognised over the years. I will look to see if there are any more current figures than 2002(!), but this still gives a base for comparison. I'll return with more when (and if) I am able to find any more decent references.

Squaw

The English word squaw is an ethnic and sexual slur,  historically used for Indigenous North American women. Contemporary use of the term, especially by non-Natives, is considered derogatory, misogynist, and racist.

While squaw (or a close variant) is found in several Eastern and Central Algonquian languages, primarily spoken in the northeastern United States and in eastern and central Canada, these languages only make up a small minority of the Indigenous languages of North America. The word "squaw" is not used among Native American, First Nations, Inuit, or Métis peoples. Even in Algonquian, the words used are not the English-language word.

Status
The term squaw is considered offensive by Indigenous peoples in America and Canada due to its use for hundreds of years in a derogatory context that demeans Native American women. This has ranged from condescending images (e.g., picture postcards depicting "Indian squaw and papoose") to racialized epithets. Alma Garcia has written, "It treats non-white women as if they were second-class citizens or exotic objects."

Newer editions of dictionaries such as American Heritage, Merriam-Webster online dictionaries, and the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary now list squaw as "offensive", "often offensive", and "usually disparaging".

While some have studied the elements of Algonquian words that might be related to the word, the consensus among Native women, and Native people in general, is that—no matter the linguistic origins—the word is too offensive,   and that any "reclamation" efforts would only apply to the small percentage of Native women from the Algonquian-language groups, and not to the vast majority of Native women who feel degraded by the term. Indigenous women who have addressed the history and depth of this word state that this degrading usage is now too long, and too painful, for it to ever take on a positive meaning among Indigenous women or Indigenous communities as a whole.

Feminist and anti-racist groups have also worked to educate and encourage the disuse of the term in normal discourse. When asked why "it never used to bother Indian women to be called squaw," and "why now?" an American Indian Movement group responded in 2006:

"Were American Indian women or people ever asked? Have you ever asked an American Indian woman, man, or child how they feel about [the 's' word]? (... it has always been used to insult American Indian women.)

Through communication and education American Indian people have come to understand the derogatory meaning of the word. American Indian women claim the right to define ourselves as women and we reject the offensive term squaw."

In 2015, Jodi Lynn Maracle (Mohawk) and Agnes Williams (Seneca) petitioned the Buffalo Common Council to change the name of Squaw Island to Deyowenoguhdoh. Seneca Nation President Maurice John Sr., and Chief G. Ava Hill of the Six Nations of the Grand River wrote letters petitioning for the name change as well, with Chief Hill writing,

"The continued use and acceptance of the word 'Squaw' only perpetuates the idea that indigenous women and culture can be deemed as impure, sexually perverse, barbaric and dirty ... Please do eliminate the slur 'Squaw' from your community."

The Buffalo Common Council then voted unanimously to change the name to Unity Island.

In November 2021, the United States Department of the Interior, headed by Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, declared squaw to be a derogatory and racist term and began formally removing the term from use on the federal level.

History
Eastern and Central Algonquian morphemes (smallest units of meaning) meaning "woman" (mostly found as components in longer words) include: Massachusett squàw ("woman"), Abenaki -skwa ("female, wife"), Mohegan-Pequot sqá, Cree iskwew / ᐃᐢᑫᐧᐤ (iskeyw, "woman"), Ojibwe ikwe ("woman"). Variants in other related languages are: esqua, sqeh, skwe, que, kwa, exkwew, xkwe. These are all derived from Proto-Algonquian *eθkwe·wa ("(young) woman"). According to linguist Ives Goddard, the notion that the word originally referred to a woman’s vagina is inaccurate.

In the first published report of Indigenous American languages in English, A Key into the Language of America, written in 1643, Puritan Minister Roger Williams wrote his impressions of the Narragansett language. Williams noted morphemes that he considered to be related to "squaw" and provided the definitions he felt fit them, as a learner, including: squaw ("woman"), squawsuck ("women"), keegsquaw ("virgin or maid"), segousquaw ("widower"), and squausnit ("woman's god"). In most colonial texts squaw was used as a general word for Indigenous women.

The Massachusett Bible was printed in the Massachusett language in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1663. It used the word squa in Mark 10:6 as a translation for "female". It used the plural form squaog in 1 Timothy 5:2 and 5:14 for "younger women".

A will written in the Massachusett language by a native preacher from Martha's Vineyard uses the word squa to refer to his unmarried daughters. In the Massachusett language, squa was an ancient and thoroughly decent word.

One of the earliest appearances of the term in English in print is "the squa sachim, or Massachusetts [sic] queen" in the colonial booklet Mourt's Relation (1622), one of the first chronicles of the Plymouth Colony written by European colonists, including the story of the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving. The sachem or sachim is the elected chief of a Massachusett tribe, and the booklet used Pidgin Massachusett to call the chief's wife the "squa sachim".

Records accompanying sketches by Alfred Jacob Miller document mid-19th century usage of the term in the United States. Miller wrote notes in 1858-1860 for each picture, many of which included Indigenous women. These were published in the 1951 catalog of a Miller exhibition. For Indian Girl reposing, Miller wrote, "Before they are 16 years of age, these girls may be said to have their heyday, and even then if they become the wives or mates of Trappers, are comparatively happy, for they generally indulge them to their hearts' content; should they become however the squaws of Indians, their lives are subjected to the caprices of a tyrant too often, whose ill treatment is the rule and kindness their exception. Nothing so strikingly distinguishes civilized from savage life as the treatment of women.  It is in every particular in favor of the former." For "Bourgeois" Walker, & his Squaw, Miller describes his depiction of the fur trader made in 1858 thusly:

"'The sketch exhibits a certain etiquette. The Squaw's station in travelling is at a considerable distance in the rear of her liege lord, and never at the side of him. [Walker] had the kindness to present the writer a dozen pair of moccasins worked by this squaw - richly embroidered on the instep with colored porcupine quills.'"

Edgar Allan Poe uses the word in his 1838 novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket.

The 1887 Canadian novel An Algonquin Maiden uses the term squaw four times; twice as "squaw-snake" to refer to a female snake, and twice to refer to a woman from an Algonquin tribe.

Colville / Okanagan author Mourning Dove, in her 1927 novel, Cogewea, the Half-Blood had one of her characters say,

"If I was to marry a white man and he would dare call me a 'squaw'—as an epithet with the sarcasm that we know so well—I believe that I would feel like killing him."

E. B. White's 1961 story "The Years of Wonder", derived from his 1923 journal of a shipboard trip to Alaska, included, "Mr. Hubbard ... saw that Siberia was represented by a couple of dozen furry Eskimos and one squaw man; they came aboard from a skin boat as soon as the Buford dropped her hook."

Science fiction author Isaac Asimov, in his novel Pebble in the Sky (1950), wrote that science-fictional natives of other planets would use slurs against natives of Earth, such as, "Earthie-squaw".

LaDonna Harris, a Comanche social activist who spoke about empowering Native American schoolchildren in the 1960s at Ponca City, Oklahoma, recounted:

"We tried to find out what the children found painful about school [causing a very high dropout rate]. (...) The children said that they felt humiliated almost every day by teachers calling them 'squaws' and using all those other old horrible terms."

As a word referring to a woman, it was sometimes used to denigrate men, as in "squaw man," meaning either "a man who does woman's work" or "a white man married to an Indian woman and living with her people".

Sexual references

An early comment in which squaw appears to have a sexual meaning is from the Canadian writer E. Pauline Johnson, who was of Mohawk heritage, but spent little time in that culture as an adult. She wrote about the title character in An Algonquin Maiden by G. Mercer Adam and A. Ethelwyn Wetherald:

"Poor little Wanda! not only is she non-descript and ill-starred, but as usual the authors take away her love, her life, and last and most terrible of all, reputation; for they permit a crowd of men-friends of the hero to call her a 'squaw' and neither hero nor authors deny that she is a squaw. It is almost too sad when so much prejudice exists against the Indians, that any one should write up an Indian heroine with such glaring accusations against her virtue, and no contradictory statements from either writer, hero or circumstance."

Statements that squaw came from a word meaning "female genitals" gained currency in the 1970s, but have since been found to be inaccurate.

Efforts to rename placenames and terms
In November 2021, the U.S. Department of the Interior declared squaw to be a derogatory term and began formally removing the term from use on the federal level, with Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo) announcing the creation of a committee and process to review and replace derogatory names of geographic features. In a press release, Secretary Haaland announced, "Racist terms have no place in our vernacular or on our federal lands. Our nation’s lands and waters should be places to celebrate the outdoors and our shared cultural heritage – not to perpetuate the legacies of oppression. Today’s actions will accelerate an important process to reconcile derogatory place names and mark a significant step in honoring the ancestors who have stewarded our lands since time immemorial."

This follows decades of work by Indigenous activists, both locally and in more general educational efforts, to rename the locations across North America that have contained the word, as well as to eliminate the word from the lexicon in general. The work follows previous actions by the Board on Geographic Names which recognized place names containing words that were widely recognized as being pejorative or derogatory for Black and Japanese people.

 * In 1988 the E.B. Campbell Dam on the Saskatchewan River was officially renamed; formerly it had been the Squaw Rapids Dam.
 * Ioway Creek (formerly Squaw Creek), a 41-mile-long tributary of the S. Skunk River in central Iowa, known for its flooding and flash flooding of several highly developed portions of the eastern and southeastern portions of the Iowa State University campus in the city of Ames, was officially renamed by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names on February 11, 2021.
 * The Montana Legislature created an advisory group in 1999 to replace the word squaw in local place names and required any replacement of a sign to bear the new name.
 * The Maine Indian Tribal-State Commission and the Maine Legislature collaborated in 2000 to pass a law eliminating the words squaw and squa from all of the state's waterways, islands, and mountains. Some of those sites have been renamed with the word moose; others, in a nod to Wabanaki language-recovery efforts, are now being given new place-appropriate names in the Penobscot and Passamaquoddy languages. Twenty years after the law's passage, the owner of Big Squaw Mountain Resort near Greenville, Maine refused to consider changing the resort's name, even though its namesake was changed to Big Moose Mountain following the passage of the statewide law.
 * The American Ornithologists' Union changed the official American English name of the long-tailed duck, (Clangula hyemalis) from oldsquaw to the long-standing British name, because of wildlife biologists' concerns about cooperation with Native Americans involved in conservation efforts, as well as for standardization.
 * Piestewa Peak in Phoenix, Arizona, replaced the name Squaw Peak in 2003; the new name honors Iraq War casualty PFC Lori Piestewa (Hopi), the first Native American woman to die in combat for the U.S.
 * Members of Coeur d'Alene Tribe in Idaho called for the removal of the word squaw from the names of 13 locations in that state in October 2006. Many tribal members reportedly believe the "woman's genitals" etymology.
 * The British Columbian portion of a tributary of the Tatshenshini River was officially renamed Dollis Creek by the BC Geographical Names Office on January 15, 2008. The name Squaw Creek had been previously rescinded on December 8, 2000.
 * Frog Woman Rock was the name chosen to honor the cultural heritage of the Pomo peoples of the region between Hopland and Cloverdale in the Russian River canyon. The State Office of Historic Preservation updated the name of the California Historical Landmark, formerly called Squaw Rock, in 2011.
 * In 2015, Unity Island (Deyowenoguhdoh in the Seneca language) was officially adopted as the name for the island formerly called Squaw Island. The Buffalo Common Council voted in the name change came after being petitioned by members of the Seneca Nation of New York.
 * An application was made to the Nova Scotia Geographic Information Service in late 2016 to rename Squaw Island, Cape Negro, Cape Negro Island and Negro Harbour in Shelburne County.
 * In 2017, The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service renamed the Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge in Missouri to Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge in 2017.
 * The city of Provo, Utah, announced in October 2017 that it would be working alongside a local citizens' initiative to consider renaming Squaw Peak, though final authority for placenames rests with state and federal officials.
 * Squaw Ridge in Sierra Nevada was formally renamed Hungalelti Ridge in September 2018, after a proposal by the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California.
 * Saskatchewan's Killsquaw Lake — the site of a 19th century massacre of a group of Cree women — was renamed Kikiskitotawânawak Iskêwak on November 20, 2018. The new name means "we honour the women" in Cree. The renaming effort was led by Indigenous lawyer Kellie Wuttunee in consultation with Cree elders and community leaders. "To properly respect and honour First Nations women, we can no longer have degrading geographic names in Saskatchewan. ... Even if unintentional, the previous name was harmful. By changing the name, we are giving a voice to the ones who are silenced," said Wuttunee, who has worked on missing and murdered Indigenous women cases. "Names are powerful. They inform our identity."
 * After similar rumours over the years, on August 20, 2020 it was reported that Squaw's Tit near Canmore, Alberta would be renamed to avoid racist and misogynistic naming. Talks with the Stoney Nakoda community to find a culturally appropriate name and a request to support the initiative were brought to the Municipal District of Bighorn in September 2020. on September 29, 2020 the peak was officially renamed to Anûkathâ Îpa, meaning 'Bald Eagle Peak' in the Stoney Nakoda language.
 * In 2020, Squaw Valley Academy changed its name to Lake Tahoe Preparatory School.
 * Palisades Tahoe was the new name of Squaw Valley Ski Resort as of September 13, 2021. The decision was announced after consulting with the local Washoe Tribe and extensive research into the etymology and history of the term squaw.
 * Serenity Mountain Retreat was the new name of the Squaw Mountain Ranch nudist resort as of December 2021.
 * Orange Cove is an agricultural community located along the eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, incorporated in 1948 and has a population of 9,078. On January 27, 2021 the City Council deferred a proposal seeking to change the name of the Squaw Valley area of Fresno County to "Nim Valley", to allow the city to seek more community input.
 * Yokuts Valley, California, became the official name of the basin formerly named "Squaw Valley". It had been part of long process of community debate from 2020 into early 2023.
 * The United States Department of the Interior announced in 2022 that it would rename 660 mountains, rivers, and other locations "to remove derogatory terms whose expiration dates are long overdue," including the word "squaw." In September 2022, a list of approved names was published by the United States Geological Survey replacing 643 placenames containing "squaw".
 * On September 23, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom of California signed a law directing state and local authorities to remove "squaw" from almost 100 geographic features and place names throughout the state. California State Parks and the California Department of Transportation announced reviews of markers and place names to be renamed or rescinded.
 * In January 2023, Squaw Gap in North Dakota became Homesteaders Gap.
 * Squaw Cap in New Brunswick was renamed Evergreen in January 2024, along with the nearby mountain of the same name.

The term persists in the officially sanctioned names of several places in the U.S., as well as certain businesses, such as Squaw Lake (Minnesota), Squaw Grove Township (DeKalb County, Illinois), Squaw Township (Iowa), Squaw Canyon Oil Field, Squaw Creek Southern Railroad, and Squaw Peak Inn.

The first EMD SD45 Demonstrator #4351 was built in December 1965, not February 1965. See A. J. Kristopans EMD Serial Number Home Page http://community-1.webtv.net/ajkristopans/40SERIES/. The first EMD production SD45 was Great Northern #400 "Hustle Muscle" in May 1966. EMD Demonstrators #4352 and #4353 were built in January 1966. --207.69.139.144 12:51, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

I think that comment about crankshaft problems is wrong. I don't want to edit the article unless and until I can find the source but in general I believe the problems were with the part of the frames that hold the crankshaft main bearings which were too weak. That area was reworked by EMD on existing blocks (cycled back through the factory) and eventually the design was changed entirely. I don't recall anyone ever saying the cranks themselves were bad but then again I don't know Filmteknik (talk) 22:02, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Southern 3120
According to the ICC accident report this SD45 was destroyed at Leadville Jct. TN in a rear end collision on October 26, 1969. Southern train 3rd #120 hit the caboose of train 2nd #120. The caboose rode over the frame of the 3120 and cleaned everything off back to the alternator and most of the long hood, see the photo in the ICC train wreck database for Southern, 2nd 1969 wreck. A J Kristopans has this first unit traded in to EMD and rebuilt on repair order #8084. It was released on the same serial number 33597 in April 1970 as Southern 3120. Is this the 1261st SD45? --SSW9389 (talk) 15:45, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Merge of EMD SD45R
Ignoring all the IP socking for a moment, would we be better merging EMD SD45R to a section in this article anyway? Which would give the better and more readable articles? Andy Dingley (talk) 13:43, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Battle of Argentovaria

The Battle of Argentovaria or Battle of Argentaria was fought in May 378 between the Western Roman Empire and the invading army of the Lentienses, a branch of the Alemanni, at Argentovaria (near Colmar, France). The Alemanni were overwhelmed by the Roman legionaries, though stood their ground bravely. Only 9,000 escaped from the field and Priarius, king of the Lentienses, was slain during the battle. The Lentienses disappear from the historical record following this defeat.

Emperor Gratian, who had given the command of the army for the battle to Nannienus and Mallobaudes, gained the title of Alemannicus Maximus.

Exhaust mixer

In aviation, an exhaust mixer is a feature of many turbofan engines, where slower, colder bypass air is mixed with faster, hotter core exhaust gases, before exhausting to atmospheric pressure through a common (mixed flow) propelling nozzle.

Benefits
The mixer reduces the velocity of the core exiting air, and consequently, reducing the amount of noise produced. Additionally, the temperature of the exhaust is reduced, contributing to the overall reduction of the thermal signature of the aircraft. This attribute is critical in military aircraft where thermal detection or heat-seeking weapons are used.

Ideally, a mixer is also a performance benefit to increasing thrust. The exhaust thrust from a jet engine is equal to exhaust mass flow times exhaust velocity, i.e., Thrust = ṁv, while the energy to make that thrust is given by Energy = 1/2mv2. A mixer helps reduce the fastest exhaust velocities from the core of the engine, while making the average exhaust velocity faster, producing more thrust with the same energy.

Mixer types

 * Annular - bypass and core streams are brought together co-annularly, mixing being achieved by the shearing effect at the stream interface
 * Forced - hot and cold chutes, intertwined, force the two streams to mix

Mixing efficiency is defined in a number of ways, but simply, compares the actual thrust gain (due to mixing) to that of the ideal case. Annular mixers have a low pressure loss, but a low mixing efficiency. Forced mixers can have a high mixing efficiency, but this is offset by a high pressure loss.

Mixers are extremely common on military turbofans, since long coaxial exhaust pipes (i.e. hot and cold) are avoided. Afterburning, with the associated variable area nozzle, is also easier to accommodate.

Some high bypass ratio (e.g. civil) turbofans now feature a mixer, the advantage being a small thrust gain, which improves specific fuel consumption. Although the mixing process is not thorough, there is a jet noise benefit as well.

Talk:Covenant Party (Northern Mariana Islands)

early discussion
Is it just me or does this political party sound like something directly out of a certain popular first person shooter video game? This has got to be a joke. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.104.132.133 (talk • contribs).
 * No, Anon. This party isn't a joke. Their candidate for Governor is pretty dammed close to being elected Governor. - Hoshie | 10:55, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

What video game is he referring to? Dermo69

Does anyone know a new URL? If so please add it, it's a spam site now. --Anthonysenn 06:14, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Is the Covenant Party still in existence?
The Covenant did not have a candidate in the 2014 elections and they currently do not hold any seats in the legislature. Do they still exist? --1990'sguy (talk) 21:35, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
