Redan High School

Redan High School is a public secondary school of the DeKalb County School District located in Redan, Georgia.

Redan was established in 1976 by the DeKalb County School District. The school's mascot is the Raider. Both Redan High School and its "twin," Stone Mountain High School, were built without any main windows on their exteriors (except for in the main common area). The windowless construction was for energy-saving purposes during the "energy crunch" of the mid-to-late 1970s.

As part of the DeKalb County School District, the school is accredited through AdvancED through 2022.

Campus
The school is in Redan, a census-designated place in unincorporated DeKalb County, Georgia, United States. The school is south of the city of Stone Mountain and has a Stone Mountain mailing address.

Marching band
The Redan High School "Blue Thunder" Marching Band is one of the largest high school marching bands in the state of Georgia and in the southeast. The band has won the national VH1 Save the Music Battle of the Bands twice, the only high school band invited to perform in this competition to do so.

The band performs consistently highly in both marching band and concert band competitions, and was considered for inclusion in the inaugural parade of President Barack Obama in January 2009.

The band was featured in the blockbuster movie Drumline and the Disneyland Christmas parade, and shot a live commercial while performing at the Atlanta Football Classic. The band has recorded live commercials for several Fortune 500 companies and featured on releases by a number of recording artists. In November 2009, the Marching Blue Thunder was asked to perform in the movie Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming, released in 2010.

The band has performed for many college and university halftime shows, including the Florida A&M Homecoming Celebration, Jackson State University, Bethune-Cookman University, Norfolk State University, and Tennessee State University, as well as major international events including the Chinese Festival in Beijing, China.

Among traditional marching bands, the Marching Blue Thunder is currently ranked number two in the United States and in the Southeast, number one in the South, and the number one ranked "High Stepping" high school marching band in Georgia. The band earns thousands of dollars annually in scholarship and tuition funds.

Athletics
The Redan baseball program has a history of producing competitive athletes who reach elite levels of play.

In 1979, Kevin Butler set a high school record with a 59-yard field goal while playing for the Redan Raiders, the same year the team won the AAA State Championship.

In 2013, the Raiders baseball team won the 4A State Championship, becoming the first all-African American team to win a baseball state championship in the state of Georgia.

The school’s Lady Raiders basketball team won the 5A State Championship in both 2009 and 2014..

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/French ensigns

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was KEEP. Linuxbeak | Talk 18:44, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

French_ensigns
the basic concept is based on flawed research, namely, that there exist a certain number of plain flag with the french flag in canton used to design colonial flag. some french posession do have a tricolore in canton but these are either pre-existing flag to which a tricolore was added or flags that were created in toto. --Marc pasquin 01:38, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete - the article is more about British Ensigns than French. Several French ensigns are illustrated and there is a claim that they are used by French Overseas Territories but no actual example is given (ie which territories). Given that AVD has a history of misusing sources (Ground Zero has looked up AVD's sources in the past only to find that they don't say what he claims they say) we should probably delete this. Homey 02:48, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Okay, there are problems with factual accuracy on the page. But that just means the article needs to be revised. It's not grounds for deletion. Justin Bacon 03:21, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - all these flags are referenced (in the 10 references listed on the article page), and I shall cite each one on the discussion page. As per HOTRs statement that I misuse references, I would suggest that HOTR use his words carefully.  If I have to obey the No Personal Attack Rule then so does HOTR.  Please visit the French ensigns discussion page, were ALL the Flags will be referenced.  ArmchairVexillologistDon 04:37, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Saying you've been found to have misused sources in the past is not a "personal attack", it's criticism. You'd do well to learn the difference. Homey 07:42, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Misusing references? Please cite specific cases of me doing that.

 * HOTR, you would also do well to attempt to keep a civil tone.

 * ArmchairVexillologistDon 15:31, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge - Being told that using sources that are not correct is not a personal attack. That means that either you need to find the correct sources or just remove the non-factual information. Remember, me and Marc, David and Grutness are vexillologists, if you need information (or perhaps drawings) of flags, just let us know. But since, from reading this, I still personally believe that this article is nothing but original research. I strong suggest merging to Flag of France and perhaps have a gallery of various French ensign (which I could draw easily). Zach (Sound Off) 15:09, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Next up, Zach, I have studied Flags as well, and I quite capable of arguing that permise that the French ensigns is a valid article, and deserving of its own page.

 * ArmchairVexillologistDon 15:25, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

*Merge/Redirect with Flag of France. Given that these are variations of the French Flag and that the objection seems to be over whether these are truly "ensigns", it may make sense to move whatever pertinent info exists in the article to the Flag of France article. Homey 07:42, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article does provide sourcing although there is some discussion on the article's talk page about the accuracy of the contents. That is the proper place to discuss any problems with the current contents of the article not in AfD. Capitalistroadster 05:13, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * HOTR, I see you have changed your vote from Delete to Merge.  It is nice to see that you conceed that the French ensigns article I created has some value on Wikipedia. However, as for Merging the article with another Flag of France article, I would strongly disagree with that suggestion.  The French ensigns article touches on a subject that is not generally known in Vexillology, and it provides a compact, specialised article to highlight these French Flags, which are commonly overlooked, and un-emphasised.  I submit to you that the French ensigns article is quite appropriate, and educational in its present location (i.e., with its own separate article).  ArmchairVexillologistDon 20:55, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge/Redirect with Flag of France for correct material and Delete for fictional material. Original research based on a flawed premise and a fundamental misunderstanding of vexillology. David Newton 12:09, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * A fundamental misunderstanding of Vexillology? What precisely are you refering to?

 * ArmchairVexillologistDon 15:36, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep Sorry Marc, but you're incorrect. There are a number of flags that have used the tricolor canton. Togo has, Wallis & Futuna has and Morocco has, to name just three off the top of my head. A quick glance at some of the pages on the Flags of the World website (many of which I had a hand in writing, I venture to add) will show that what Don is saying is basically correct, though some of the things said on the page do need their accuracy checked. The use of the word "ensign" is also a little wayward, to say the least - these are colonial flags, not ensigns (ensigns are flown from ships, not used on land). (BTW Don, are you on the fotw mailing list?) Grutness...  wha?  12:21, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay - Marc's explained to me a bit more clearly what his beef is with the page, and I understand now. That there are flags like this in general is accepted, but their direct relation to British ones is questionable, especially given their usage. Also, some of the 'templates for flags" shown on the page in question never existed as flags in themselves. Many countries have used or do use flag designs similar to those probably first used by the British navy, either deliberately or coincidentally - and that is worthy of a Wikipedia article. The current article, though, is not that article. This needs a thorough rewrite, a split and a move to titles like Similarities in European colonial flag designs and Similarities in European naval ensign designs (or possibly something a bit more catchy). Grutness...  wha?  12:43, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * There is no parallel -- none -- in the use of British and French ensigns. The British have a system: red for merchant vessels, blue for government, white for naval (I have somewhat oversimplified) that France never had. Please act along the lines of Marc Pasquin's and James Dignan's ("Grutness") arguments. The parent article is just plain wrong; I don't know where the author got his information. ASKirsch
 * Is everyone from FOTW on Wikipedia? Where's Antonio, Andre and Ron? :) Grutness...  wha?  10:06, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep and cleanup, in the sense that the French Ensign is worthy of an article. Much of the page belongs elsewhere, if at all, but that is an issue for talk pages, not AfD. JPD 09:09, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I want to comment on two issues, espeically since my name came up with regard to one of them. In a previous debate on AVD's contention that the Canadian flag was based on what he calls the "republican tricolour", AVD provided a list of references to support his argument. (This was on an article he wrote entitled "French Republican Tricolour form of Canadian Maple Leaf Flag", which was deleted.) Most of them were for books published decades before the maple leaf flag was introduced in 1965. I looked into a recent book to which he referred, and could find nothing to support AVD's claim. Part of the problem was that instead of providing the page number to support his claim, which is what would normally be done, he provided the number of the page from which he took the publisher's information, which is not useful in any way to someone trying to verify the references. And he never provided the pagge number to support his claim at any time later. The other issue is his statement, "If I have to obey the 'No Personal Attack Rule' then so does HOTR." When has AVD ever obeyed the NPA rule? Several editors have pointed out his violations, and he has never withdrawn the attacks (as far as I know). There is currently an RfC about his personal attacks, and he made a personal attack against me on the RfC page, which he has not withdrawn or apologized for. Because of his behaviour, it is hard to known whether this article has been written in good faith based on the references cited, or if it is original research. His past behaviour suggests the latter. Ground Zero | t 15:39, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Ground Zero, you are misrepresenting our conversion. The conversion is also recorded on my talkpage.

 * ArmchairVexillologistDon talkpage

 * Back to the Flag (section on my talkpage)

 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:ArmchairVexillologistDon

 * Well, I can spend alot of time and effort to clarify and refute your "characterization" of my use o references, and the ideas and points that I was trying to convey to you. However, at the moment I am too angry at you to do so.  So I shall "step away from the computer".

 * Additional note: I mentioned to an Administrated that the article I started French ensigns, was challenged within one hour of me being indefinitely banned.  He stated that he was not aware of this, and he had nothing to do with it.  Next I asked him permission to defend the French ensigns article, and the Administrator granted me permission to so, with the warning that I was absolutely not to engage in personaly attacks.  So far I have kept my end of the agreement.

 * I will say this, the string of co-incedences that occurs around this French ensigns article is astounding, to say the least. I have one bright spot in this regard so far, a fellow Vexillologist Mysha (from the Dutch Wikipedia) he helped me immeasurabley in improving the French ensigns article.  Thanks again Mysha, and it was very nice to make your acquaintance indeed (I learned "light a candle" from you Mysha.  Thanks).  ArmchairVexillologistDon 18:52, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I stand corrected with reference to the Archibald book. You did provide page references after I requested them, so I will withdraw the remark that I made above. The rest of our discussion shows, however, that the book does not support your claim that the Canadian flag is based on the republican tricolour. You have drawn, on your own, the conclusion that the remote similiarity of the Canadian flags to the flags of other countries, some of which are republics, is basis enough to draw your conclusion that the design of the maple leaf flag was chosen to promote republicanism by undermining royal and British connections and symbolism. In this case, the reference that you provided did not support your claim, but rather showed that what you were writing was original research.
 * As far as the "coincidences", it is not uncommon for editors to watch the contributions of editors who in the past have violated Wikipedia policies. As you know, the "French Republican Tricolour form of Canadian Maple Leaf Flag" was deleted for being a POV fork of what you were trying to include in the Flag of Canada article, which is not permitted. So you should not be surprised if your contributions are being monitored. This is one of the ways that Wikipedia policies can be maintained. Of course, if you are not violating Wikipedia policies, then you should not be concerned that others are watching your work. Ground Zero | t 19:11, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment. Also note that along with the RfC, the RfA has been requested to be reopended. Zhatt  17:13, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep The article as it stands at this moment is acceptable. Homey 14:42, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I hesitate to enter the conversation here, seeing all the intensity in the conversation above.  This is my first encounter of this article and it appears lucid and well written.  If factual accuracy is a concern, perhaps expert opinions or fact checking by peer reviewers would be reasonable.--Gaff talk 17:28, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Update
As it stand now (and as long as it stays that way), I have no problem with the page French Ensigns and unless there are objections, I will withdraw its candidacy for deletion.

 However , while that page is now more correct, most of the problems I originaly had with the page have been transfered to a new one. (see its talk page Talk:French_colonial_flags),

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Ruisseau de la Brasserie

Ruisseau de la Brasserie (Also known in English as: Brewery Creek) is a small creek that forms the northern and western shores of Île Hull. It circles the downtown of the Hull sector, of Gatineau, Quebec. It runs from the Ottawa River just west of downtown Hull. Running west of Montcalm Street it turns east north of the highway, running up to Jacques Cartier Park where it rejoins the Ottawa River. In the 1980s the area was refurbished by the National Capital Commission. The former water works on a small island in the creek became the Théâtre de l'Île and the Montcalm Street Bridge was replaced by the ornate Tour Eiffel Bridge. Its pollution removed, it has become a popular location for birders.

History
Not long after Wright's Town, Lower Canada was founded by Philemon Wright in 1800, a large brewery was built and began operations in 1813 on the banks of this creek. It was located at the southeast corner of Columbia Farm that itself, had been cleared in 1811 and completed in 1823. Columbia Farm was first managed by Philemon Jr., and by 1823 it was managed by Thomas Brigham, who had married Philemon's daughter Abigail. The farm was bequeathed to Thomas and Abigail in 1839, at Philemon's death.

The Brewery was the second, major (long-operating) brewery in Lower Canada, the first having been built by John Molson in Montreal - Molson was a friend and associate and Philemon was the first to have sold hops to John Molson in 1796.

In 1822, the Wright Brewery became a rum distillery as well. By 1828, 2 distilleries and 1 Brewery were operating in the Township of Hull and another distillery was operating just across the Gatineau River, at Tiberius Wright's Gatenoe Falls Farm in the Township of Templeton.

The creek has had more than one name in its history, being called Brewery Creek, Brigham Creek and ruisseau de la Brasserie.

Talk:Madhan

Moving this page
This came up on the AfD... Apparently, the Tamil 'dh' and 'th' are written the same way, so in English this name could be written as either Mathan or Madhan (or even Madan, which is the name the article currently leads with and the one used in the site linked at the bottom.)  Of these three, it's plain that "Mathan" is the worst choice... Unlike the other two, it turns up almost no Google results related to him no matter what you do with it, which was part of the reason he was put up for AfD in the first place. Madan, incidently, can refer to several different things, and there's already a disambig page there (I already added this article to it.) So. Should this article be moved to Madhan, to Madan (writer), or should it stay here? --Aquillion 01:41, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, 'Mathan' is not the best way to write the name in English, 'Madan' or 'Madhan' would be okay. As Madan is already a dab page, and as it can refer to different things I rename (move) this page from 'Mathan' to 'Madhan'. -śrīni 06:50, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

DABing
, why are you restoring this article? The contents are identical to Madhan (actor). Argento Surfer (talk) 14:38, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
 * This is quite a mess. Madhan (actor) is a recently created page. The edit history of this page is much longer and has been about the actor for most of its existence. The edit history should not be overwritten by simply converting this page into a disambiguation. If appropriate, a history merge can be requested. But in principle, this may be a WP:TWODAB situation in that disambiguation be accomplished by adding a hatnote linking to Madhan (writer) on the actor's page at Madhan. Or if the two are relatively equal in notability, then it may be appropriate to properly move the actor's page to Madhan (actor) and have a disambiguation page at Madhan. older ≠ wiser 15:14, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Madhan (writer) is also a recent creation by Wikieditorchoice. Argento Surfer (talk) 15:29, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
 * It is not actually the case that this page [...] has been about the actor for most of its existence - I have checked the edit history pretty thoroughly and this has been an article about the writer and cartoonist Madhan since 2005 up until 22 August this year. That's when Wikieditorchoice overwrote the contents with text about the actor, and then cut and pasted the previous contents of the article into a new article, Madhan (writer). This has been obfuscated by the activities of two other editors who are also named in the SPI linked below. As you say, Madhan (actor) is recently created, and from what I can see, there has been no article about the actor until two or three days ago. I think this is a case of a person creating an article (probably an autobio) and then trying to get all the uses of the name to refer to that article, for marketing purposes. It's been done before to other articles. :-( As a side note, Wikieditorchoice has already been blocked for disruption. --bonadea contributions talk 09:19, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Yes, sure and writer is not Madhan he is madan Chennaiboys (talk) 18:12, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

anybody can change the heading of this page to madhan (actor)very notable — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chennaiboys (talk • contribs) 04:06, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

how madhan refers to madan writer — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chennaiboys (talk • contribs) 14:30, August 23, 2017 (UTC)

he is called as madan or mathan not madhan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chennaiboys (talk • contribs) 14:31, August 23, 2017 (UTC)

 * - yep, quite a mess, made even more so by the several new accounts creating pages about the actor and the writer and asking other editors to move them around - it looks like a marketing effort for the actor. Madan (writer) was created by one of these new editors as a copy of an older version of this page, but that was apparently also a copyvio from Goodreads. I suspect that the Goodreads text may have been copied from Wikipedia, given that this is an old article, but then again, it was not written like an encyclopedia article so I don't know what is the appropriate thing to do at this point. Except open a SPI, perhaps. --bonadea contributions talk 14:38, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
 * SPI opened. --bonadea contributions talk 14:58, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

What to do now?
What would be the best way to proceed with this? I am not sure whether Madhan (actor) is in fact about a notable subject, I doubt it would survive an AfD, but I could of course be wrong about that. If it is kept, the dab page makes sense, but what about the pre-August 22 page history of Madhan? That needs to be at Madhan (writer). I thought it would be possible to merge part of the page history, but apparently that's not an option. On the other hand, if the article about the actor should be deleted, should we just restore this article to the original version of the page about the writer? Madhan (writer) has been cleaned up, mostly by, and what about that editing history? Not to mention the copyvio issue, mentioned in the section above. --bonadea contributions talk 09:19, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Just for the record, in hindsight I doubt the text I removed from Madhan (writer) was actually a copyvio. Seeing as goodreads.com is user-edited, someone may have copied it from Wikipedia (I didn't realize Madhan (writer) was copied from Madhan at the time). That's not to say it should necessarily be restored, however. Simplexity22 (talk) 10:34, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

 * At 21:41, 23 August 2017 (UTC) I rejected a request to history-merge Madhan (writer) to Madhan, because of WP:Parallel histories, and because page Madhan had been in a long WP:edit war between an article about the writer and a 2-member disambig page, and it could not be tidily history-split between these 2 topics. I suggested leaving Madhan as a disambiguation page until the matter can be discussed.Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:23, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Splitting and merging history for the writer was straightforward. The history of this and the actor article overlap and I left it as is. older ≠ wiser 15:10, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Humane Slaughter Act

The Humane Slaughter Act, or the Humane Methods of Livestock Slaughter Act (P.L. 85-765; 7 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.), is a United States federal law designed to decrease suffering of livestock during slaughter. It was approved on August 27, 1958. The most notable of these requirements is the need to have an animal completely sedated and insensible to pain. This is to minimize the suffering to the point where the animal feels nothing at all, instead blacking out and never waking. This differs from animal to animal as size increases and decreases. Larger animals such as bovines require a stronger method than chickens, for example. Bovines require electronarcosis or something equally potent, though electronarcosis remains a standard. The bovine would have a device placed on their head that, once activated, sends an electric charge that efficiently and safely stuns them. Chickens, on the other hand, require much less current to be efficiently sedated and are given a run under electrically charged water. To ensure that these guidelines are met, the Food Safety and Inspection Service inspectors at slaughtering plants are responsible for overseeing compliance, and have the authority to stop slaughter lines and order plant employees to take corrective actions. Although more than 168 million chickens (excluding broilers) and around 9 billion broiler chickens are killed for food in the United States yearly, the Humane Slaughter Act specifically mentions only cattle, calves, horses, mules, sheep and swine.

Due to several reports of alleged non-compliance with these regulations and safety protocols, originating in the early 2000s, specifically late 2002, FSIS assigned additional veterinarians to its district offices specifically to monitor slaughter and handling procedures and to report to their headquarters about any issues of compliance. This has been the case ever since, as Congress passed a bill in 2002, The 2002 farm bill, that requires a compliance report to be submitted annually. In 2003, the initiative increased further as, in the FY in 2003, Congress voted in another $5 million operation to the FSIS effort and increased the amount of compliance inspectors by 50. Language in the FY 2004 consolidated appropriations act directs FSIS to continue fulfilling that mandate, and the FY2005 budget request calls for another $5 million to be allocated for enforcement activities. Despite these requirements in place, reports from January 2004 GAO have noted that there is still alleged non-compliance. These were narrowed down to select states that issues of non-compliance still allegedly persist (GAO-04-247). Earlier concerns about humane treatment of non-ambulatory (downer) cattle at slaughter houses became irrelevant when FSIS issued regulations in January 2004 (69 FR 1892) prohibiting them from being slaughtered and inspected for use as human food.

Content of the Humane Slaughter Act
"7 U.S.C.A. § 1902. Humane

No method of slaughtering or handling in connection with slaughtering shall be deemed to comply with the public policy of the United States unless it is humane. Either of the following two methods of slaughtering and handling are hereby found to be humane:

(a) in the case of cattle, calves, horses, mules, sheep, swine, and other livestock, all animals are rendered insensible to pain by a single blow or gunshot or an electrical, chemical or other means that is rapid and effective, before being shackled, hoisted, thrown, cast, or cut; or

(b) by slaughtering in accordance with the ritual requirements of the Jewish faith or any other religious faith that prescribes a method of slaughter whereby the animal suffers loss of consciousness by anemia of the brain caused by the simultaneous and instantaneous severance of the carotid arteries with a sharp instrument and handling in connection with such slaughtering."

According to the law, animals should be stunned into unconsciousness prior to their slaughter to ensure a death with less suffering than in killing methods used earlier. The most common methods are electrocution and CO2 stunning for swine and captive bolt stunning for cattle, sheep, and goats. Of these methods of electrocution, electronarcosis has been widely acclaimed as the safest, most humane and most reliable as well as the surest way to stun the animal and render them insensitive to pain. Organizations such as the Egyptian Fatwa Committee have mutually agreed to this method when keeping the standards of halal a concern. Electronarcosis does not infringe on these standards for halal. Frequent on-site monitoring is necessary, as is the employment of skilled and well-trained personnel. An animal is considered properly stunned when there is no "righting reflex"; that is, the animal must not try to stand up and right themself. Only then can they be considered fully unconscious. They can then proceed down the line, where workers in slaughterhouses can begin the slaughtering of the specified livestock humanely.

For religious sects to proceed in the slaughtering of animals under specifically related rituals, they must fall within compliance of the previously mentioned criterion. No religion is exempt. Many religions find these regulations to fall within their own guidelines as appropriate. The two most common religious slaughter methods in the United States are the method of kosher, of the Jewish faith and the method of halal, of the Muslim faith. While all require that the animal be killed through ritual slaughter, proponents of certain religious-based slaughter methods claim that the severing of the animal's carotid arteries, jugular veins and vagus nerve renders the animal unconscious as effectively as most other methods. In 2018, Grandin stated that kosher slaughter, no matter how well it's done, is not instantaneous, whereas stunning properly with a captive bolt is instantaneous.

1958
The first version of the HMSLA was passed in 1958. Public demand for the act was so great that when asked at a press conference whether he would sign it, President Dwight D. Eisenhower stated, "If I went by mail, I'd think no one was interested in anything but humane slaughter." Senator Hubert H. Humphrey was the author of the first humane slaughter bill introduced in the US Congress and chief Senate sponsor of the Federal Humane Slaughter Act, which passed in 1958. National organizations like the Animal Welfare Institute and The Humane Society of the United States supported its passage.

1978
In 1979, the HMSLA was updated and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspectors were given the authority to stop the slaughtering line when cruelty was observed. Officially, slaughtering was not to continue until said cruelty, whether as a result of equipment or of abuses by personnel, was corrected. However, the USDA eventually stopped authorizing USDA inspectors to stop the line, since doing so incurs considerable cost of time for the industry.

2002
On May 13, 2002, President George W. Bush signed the Farm Bill (Public Law 107-171) into law which contains an amendment (section 10305) stating that it was "the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Agriculture should fully enforce" the Humane Slaughter Act.

When introducing the Resolution on the Senate floor, Senator Peter Fitzgerald said:

"On April 10, 2001, the Washington Post printed a front page story entitled "They Die Piece by Piece." This graphic article asserted that the United States Department of Agriculture was not appropriately enforcing the Humane Slaughter Act. In response, I am introducing this resolution that encourages the Secretary of Agriculture to fully enforce current law including the Humane Slaughter Act of 1958, as amended by the Federal Meat Inspection Act in 1978.

The Humane Slaughter Act requires that animals be rendered insensible to pain before they are slaughtered. However, there are continual reports of alleged non-compliance. For example, the Washington Post has reported that "enforcement records, interviews, videos and worker affidavits describe repeated violations of the Humane Slaughter Act" and "the government took no action against a Texas beef company that was cited 22 times in 1998 for violations that include chopping hooves off live cattle."

Amendments to 1958 Act
U.S. Congressional amendments and legislative authority pertaining to the Humane Slaughter Act of 1958.

Exclusionary policies
The HMSLA is criticized by animal rights advocates and the Humane Society of the United States for only including cattle, pigs, and sheep but not poultry, fish, rabbits or other animals routinely slaughtered for food. After a 2004 PETA undercover investigation that publicized abuse of chickens by employees of a West Virginia Pilgrim's Pride slaughterhouse that supplied chickens to KFC, PETA was joined by the Humane Society in calling for the Humane Slaughter Act to be expanded to include birds.

Pain disorder

Pain disorder is chronic pain experienced by a patient in one or more areas, and is thought to be caused by psychological stress. The pain is often so severe that it disables the patient from proper functioning. Duration may be as short as a few days or as long as many years. The disorder may begin at any age, and occurs more frequently in girls than boys. This disorder often occurs after an accident, during an illness that has caused pain, or after withdrawing from use during drug addiction, which then takes on a 'life' of its own.

Signs and symptoms
Common side effects or comorbidities of pain disorder include: depression; anxiety; inactivity; disability; sleep disturbance; fatigue; and disruption of social relationships. Pain conditions are generally considered "acute" if they last less than six months, and "chronic" if they last six or more months. The neurological or physiological basis for chronic pain disorders is currently unknown; they are not explained by, for example, clinically obtainable evidence of disease or of damage to the painful areas.

In many cases, pain levels can vary depending on circumstances, and can often be moderated to some extent by activity and mood. For example, pain symptoms may become more intense when focused on, and less intense when the person is engaged in enjoyable activities. The same can be said about excessive worry. A minor physical symptom can be aggravated or become more harmful and threatening if the affected person engages in a constant body and symptom appraisal, which can lead to stress and maladaptive behavior when coping with the physical symptom.

Cause
There are several theories regarding the causes of pain disorder.
 * Psychodynamic theory: unconscious conflicts or desires are converted into somatic symptom to protect the person from conscious awareness of it
 * Emotions and communication: children show distress in what may be the only way they can, physical symptoms, when they lack the ability to speak or express their thoughts in any way
 * Social influences: where psychological disorders are frowned upon, whether in families or cultures, distress may be expressed in physical terms
 * Learning theory: children learn to imitate a family member or pick up on possible gains of being "sick"
 * Family systems theory: a child's role in a family may be the sick one as part of the family dynamics. Reasons why fall under four possibilities: enmeshment, overprotection, rigidity or lack of conflict resolution
 * Trauma and abuse: this includes physical, psychological, or both combined with somatization. It is a common combination. People who have a history of physical or sexual abuse are more likely to have this disorder. However, not every person with pain disorder has a history of abuse. Early intervention when pain first occurs or begins to become chronic offers the best opportunity for prevention of pain disorder.

Diagnosis
The DSM-IV-TR specifies three coded subdiagnoses: pain disorder associated with psychological factors, pain disorder associated with both psychological factors and a general medical condition and pain disorder associated with a general medical condition (although the latter subtype is not considered a mental disorder and is coded separately within the DSM-IV-TR). Conditions such as dyspareunia, somatization disorder, conversion disorder, or mood disorders can eliminate pain disorder as a diagnosis. Diagnosis depends on the ability of physicians to explain the symptoms and on psychological influences.

There are, however, authors who propose that the diagnosis for unexplained pain should be adjustment disorder because it does not pathologize individuals with this medical condition. This is proposed to avoid the stigma of such illness classification.

Treatment
The prognosis is worse when there are more areas of pain reported. Treatment may include psychotherapy (with cognitive-behavioral therapy or operant conditioning), medication (often with antidepressants but also with pain medications ), and sleep therapy.

According to a study performed at the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami, antidepressants have an analgesic effect on patients with pain disorder. In a randomized, placebo-controlled antidepressant treatment study, researchers found that "antidepressants decreased pain intensity in patients with psychogenic pain or somatoform pain disorder significantly more than placebo". Prescription and nonprescription pain medications do not help and can actually hurt if the patient experiences side effects or develops an addiction. Instead, antidepressants and talk therapy are recommended. CBT helps patients learn what worsens the pain, how to cope, and how to function in their life while handling the pain. Antidepressants work against the pain and worry. Unfortunately, many people do not believe the pain "is all in their head," so they refuse such treatments. Other techniques used in the management of chronic pain may also be of use; these include massage, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, trigger point injections, surgical ablation, and non-interventional therapies such as meditation, yoga, and music and art therapy.

There are also interventions known as pain control programs that involve the removal of patients from their usual settings to a clinic or facility that provides inpatient or outpatient treatments. These include multidisciplinary or multimodal approaches, which use combinations of cognitive, behavior, and group therapies.

Before treating a patient, a psychologist must learn as many facts as possible about the patient and the situation. A history of physical symptoms and a psychosocial history help narrow down possible correlations and causes. Psychosocial history covers the family history of disorders and worries about illnesses, chronically ill parents, stress and negative life events, problems with family functioning, and school difficulties (academic and social). These indicators may reveal whether there is a connection between stress-inducing events and an onset or increase in pain, and the removal in one leading to the removal in the other. They also may show if the patient gains something from being ill and how their reported pain matches medical records. Physicians may refer a patient to a psychologist after conducting medical evaluations, learning about any psychosocial problems in the family, discussing possible connections of pain with stress, and assuring the patient that the treatment will be a combination between medical and psychological care. Psychologists must then do their best to find a way to measure the pain, perhaps by asking the patient to put it on a number scale. Pain questionnaires, screening instruments, interviews, and inventories may be conducted to discover the possibility of somatoform disorders. Projective tests may also be used.

Epidemiology
Ethnicities show differences in how they express their discomfort and on how acceptable shows of pain and its tolerance are. Most obvious in adolescence, females tend to have this disorder more than males, and females reach out more. More unexplainable pains occur as people get older. Typically, younger children complain of only one symptom, commonly abdominal pains or headaches. The older they get, the more varied the pain location as well as more locations and increasing frequency.

Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-10-10/ArbCom election

Hi,

If it's of any help, for further information on some of my more mentioned criticisms from March 2004, see, , , and. While I was around 7 points from winning in the last election in December, these links feature the two runner-ups in that election alluding to my statements and touching on the same line of criticism. 172 | Talk 01:43, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

I think this is one of the poorer Signpost articles I've read recently. The arbitration committee has been much criticised over the years. However, this article misses a great deal of the issues, instead giving half its time to Everyking and Ril's whingeing about a decision which was pretty much universally praised/accepted by everyone else. Ambi 12:36, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Which issues do you think I missed? Thanks for the input. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 22:19, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

 * In the early days, it focused around the fact that they were so slow and were perceived as being relatively toothless. After the changing of the guard in January, there was a period where we were copping some flak for making decisions too quickly, and then as people burned out, we were again being criticised for being very much too slow. There's also been criticism of being involved in cases between good editors (the Jguk debacle comes to mind). But when the focus is instead on whingeing from all of two users who've got axes to grind after themselves being sanctioned (in decisions that were widely supported by the community), then it just comes across as bad journalism. Ambi 04:32, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I am inclined to agree - I think it's particularly odd that Mirv's criticisms about the arbcom aren't mentioned anywhere in the article. If you want someone making arguments similar to EK and Ril that is unsanctioned, did well in the last arbcom election, and has been very vocal, I'd turn to him. Snowspinner 22:13, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I have to laugh. Here's Ambi complaining that you noted that the cabal chose the temporary arbcom members and some complained. Hmmm. I don't believe there was "universal" praise for Jimbo's decision. There was some of the usual kissing up to Jimbo but some unhappiness at the notion that the cabal's choice is preferable to the community's choice. Grace Note 01:05, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Wow. Three sanctioned users. Still doesn't equal "the community". Ambi 01:20, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Signpost appreciates all of your input, and we'll strive to improve our quality in the future. We are dedicated to reporting a fair and balanced story, and we will continue to do so. While the article was indubitably lacking in some aspects in retrospective, I will stand by the article including opinions from -Ril- and others. I see no reason why we should exclude their opinions, even if some consider it "whining" — it is a valid criticism (and when I say valid, I don't mean that I support - or not support - their opinions) that adds to the article. In the future, we will try and improve our articles. Thank you for your feedback, and please continue giving us your valued opinions. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 20:41, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

 * That you mention their opinion is not my beef. That you refer to it as being held by "many" and go into more detail about it than other is patently misleading. Upon reading this article, one would assume that there'd been widespread controversy about this - not the complaints of two or three users with a grudge after themselves being sanctioned. Ambi 06:24, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Whoops, "some" would probably have been a better term to use, and I apologize. Also, I've already said that I probably could have expanded some of the earlier criticisms, but I didn't intentionally try to do any of this. I guess the point is kind of moot now, but thanks for the input. :-) Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk | WS 19:31, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Rosemarkie

Rosemarkie (Rossmartnie, from Ros Mhaircnidh meaning "promontory of the horse stream") is a village on the south coast of the Black Isle peninsula in Ross-shire (Ross and Cromarty), northern Scotland.

Geography
Rosemarkie lies a quarter of a mile east of the town of Fortrose. The pair make up the Royal Burgh Of Fortrose and Rosemarkie, situated either side of the Chanonry Ness promontory, about 12 mi north-east of Inverness. Close to the village the Markie Burn has its mouth in the Moray Firth. The stream runs into the Fairy Glen, a small and steep-sided valley established as a RSPB nature reserve.

Rosemarkie fronts on a wide, picturesque bay, with views of Fort George and the Moray coastline across the Moray Firth. It has one of the finest beaches on the Moray Firth Coast Line. At the southern end of the beach is Chanonry Point, reputed to be the best location on the United Kingdom mainland from which to see dolphins.

The village is linked to Inverness by broadly hourly bus services, which are provided by Stagecoach Group.

Pictish stones
Rosemarkie is probably best known for its collection of finely carved Pictish stones, which is one of the largest in Scotland at a single site. These 8th-9th-century sculptures, found in and around the town's churchyard, are displayed in the Groam House Museum, a converted 18th-century town-house on the High Street. The house is open in summer and charges a small entrance fee. These carved stones are evidence for a major early monastery at Rosemarkie, founded by, or associated with, Saint Moluag (d. 592) and Boniface, otherwise known as Curetán (fl. early 8th century). The sculptures include cross-slabs, shrine fragments and architectural pieces. One small fragment of a stone from Rosemarkie is in the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.

Notable people

 * Vince Jack (1933–2006), footballer

Starfire (board wargame)

Starfire is a board wargame (a "4X", eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate) simulating space warfare and empire building in the 23rd century, created by Stephen V. Cole in 1979.

Editions
The Starfire game is currently published by the Starfire Design Studio (SDS), but was formerly published by Task Force Games. There are six editions of the Starfire game.

1st edition Starfire
The first edition consisted of three products: Starfire (1979), Starfire II (1980), and Starfire III: Empires (1981); the first by Stephen V. Cole; the second by Barry A Jacobs, and the last one by the notable military science fiction writer David Weber. Later versions combined the first two into Tactical Starfire, and the third was largely rewritten as Strategic Starfire.

The original Starfire consisted of 10 two-player combat scenarios – designed to be played sequentially that involved maneuvering fleets of spaceships with different technologies, one of them human and the other "Khanate". The game also could be adapted for three players so that the humans and the Khanate encounter a third mysterious and even more technologically advanced race, the Ophiuchi.

Starfire II kept many of the same rules, but introduced the concept of small carrier-based fighters. (Reviewer Tony Watson likened Starfire to the battleship- and cruiser-based Battle of the Atlantic during World War II, while Starfire II was similar to the aircraft carrier battles of the Pacific.)

2nd edition Starfire (1984)
Starfire, 2nd Edition (or sometimes known as Boxed Starfire since the first edition products were packaged in resealable plastic baggies) is a game of sublight space combat on the small-fleet scale. Speed of play is often touted as an advantage of the system; it does have a major advantage in fleet handling over Star Fleet Battles (Steve Cole's other starship wargame at the time), but there are many other games around of similar handling time to Starfire.

Starfire, 2nd Edition is based on the original version of Starfire, and on its sequel Starfire II. The rules booklet is divided into "modules". Module A is an introduction to the game series. Module B is titled Starfire and replaces 1st. edition Starfire. Module C is titled "Strikefighter" and replaces Starfire II". The 2nd edition product line continued with Starfire New Empires (1985), the first strategic-level game in the 2nd edition series, and The Gorm-Khanate War (1986) which was a campaign game using Starfire New Empires for the strategic part of the campaign, and Starfire, 2nd Edition for the tactical battles.

Starfire New Empires is a game of building a space empire, inspired by the original Starfire III: Empires. Players must decide what to invest their income in (colonization, R&D, trade, military, exploration, etc.) to determine both the nature of their empires and their ability to survive and conquer.

3rd edition: Imperial Starfire
The 3rd Edition of Starfire is a boxed version called Starfire (i.e. Tactical Starfire) while the Strategic Component is called Imperial Starfire. These, along with Stars at War and Crusade were written by David Weber and produced by Task Force Games. TFG also produced Sky Marshal #1, Alkelda Dawn, and First Contact.

Thereafter, the Starfire rights were sold to Starfire Design Studio (SDS). SDS updated the Tactical Rules with the 3rd Edition Revised manual (3rdR). Sky Marshall No. 2 updated the Imperial Starfire rules making them more usable. SDS also released Interstellar War #4: Arachnids (ISW-4) (electronic only), which was written by David Weber and sold to SDS in a preliminary form by TFG; Insurrection (electronic only) is based on the book of the same name by David Weber and Steve White; and Shipyard is a computer program to speed the designing of ships. Admiral's Challenge is a small scale strategic game (actually more of an operational level game) that uses the tactical rules to resolve battles.

There was also a freeware 'campaign assistant' named Starfire Assistant, by a player in England. It started out with approval from the SDS but due to changes and additions not supported by the core rules it fell out of favor. It automated most of the record-keeping of the campaign game, leaving only actual combat needing maps and counters. It also allowed PBEM, or play-by-email, campaigns.

4th edition: Galactic Starfire
The 4th edition of Starfire is called Galactic Starfire. This edition combines all the rules (Tactical and Strategic) back into a single rulebook, and replaces the earlier system of Technology Levels with Tech Trees. It is one of the few printed products released by the Starfire Design Studio. Elite (PDF) is a supplement to Galactic Starfire.

5th edition: ULTRA Starfire
The 5th edition of Starfire is called ULTRA Starfire. It is a single complete PDF manual of roughly 375 pages. The manual is one of the most integrated rulebooks in the gaming industry with every reference hotlinked to the referenced rule. This rulebook was updated directly and an entirely new set of integrated rules sent to the owners quarterly.

The Ultra edition includes 50 levels of technologies and rules covering Tactical Combat, Ship Design, Squadrons and Carriers, Galaxy Creation (e.g. the map), Empire Building, Surveying, Intelligence Gathering, R&D, Political Treaties and Alliances, Non-Player Races (NPR), and NPR governments (so that each NPR acts differently). Likewise, optional Technologies, Galactic Oddities, Random Events, and finally a set of rules for the creation of races that can live on gas giants, hot planets, cold planets and in the vacuum of space.

6th edition: Solar Starfire
The 6th edition of Starfire is called Solar Starfire and was released in 2012 in both PDF and CD formats, and is being actively expanded on, as ULTRA was. There is an active forum for fans of the game. A new campaign setting is being developed for Solar Starfire.

Gameplay
The game involves maneuvering ships into optimum range for their own weapon systems to destroy enemy ships. This is not always easy, as each ship's movement is limited by its speed and ability to turn, and the impulse based movement system that has players moving almost simultaneously. Each ship also has its own unique assortment of systems, including shields, armor and weapons, which are destroyed by enemy fire in a specific order, so part of the strategy involves choosing which enemy ships to target based on which enemy systems a player wishes to destroy. Some weapons have a better chance to hit and inflict different damage at different ranges, and some weapons have the ability to bypass shields and/or armor. When point-based and campaign ship creation is allowed, a new layer of strategy is added, not just in which systems one chooses to put on one's ships but also the order in which they are arrayed and thus destroyed under fire.

Some elements of the game are similar to that of Star Fleet Battles, which was also created by Task Force Games in 1979, including the impulse based movement system and a ship sheet with shields, armor and weapons that are destroyed in a specific order. Starfire is a much faster-player game designed for far bigger fleet combats, not including such elements as ship speeds that carry over from turn to turn and weapon and shield facings which are included in SFB. It also lacks the concept of defining speeds over shorter intervals than one turn, and this eases the elimination of advance plotting of movement.

Books
There have been six novels published based on the Starfire universe, written by Steve White. Between 1990 and 2002, David Weber and Steve White co-authored a tetralogy of science fiction novels set in the game universe. They are, in publication order, Insurrection (1990), Crusade (1992), In Death Ground (1997), The Shiva Option (2002). The Shiva Option made the New York Times bestseller list. "Crusade" and "In Death Ground" was later published as an omnibus edition The Stars at War (2004). "The Shiva Option" and "Insurrection" was later published as an omnibus edition The Stars at War II (2005). A follow-up novel, Exodus, co-written by Steve White and Shirley Meier was released in December 2006. The latest novels, Extremis and Imperative, were co-written by Steven White and Charles E. Gannon and published in May 2011 and March 2016.

Besides these professionally written novels, numerous Web sites contain fan fiction written by Starfire players.

In chronological order of events within the books:
 * 1) Crusade
 * 2) In Death Ground
 * 3) The Shiva Option
 * 4) Insurrection
 * 5) Exodus

Video game
Task Force Games developed a 16K computer version of Starfire.

Reception
In the September 1979 edition of Dragon, Tim Kask found the original Starfire "a lot of fun to play. The mechanics are simple and the movement system keeps both players constantly involved, as does the combat resolution. It moves fast and plays with a high excitement level." Kask noted the ability of the game to be adapted to other strategic "outer space" games, and concluded, "The simplicity of the mechanics make this an outstanding game; its many other possibilities make it a must for anyone that enjoys science fiction boardgames."

Gordon Paterson reviewed Starfire for White Dwarf No. 19, giving it an overall rating of 8 out of 10, and stated that "I am impressed by the thought that has been put into this design. For a small, inexpensive game it has enormous potential and is good value for money."

In the August 1980 issue of The Space Gamer (Issue No. 30), Steve Winter commented on the simplicity of the original Starfire, saying, "If you're looking for detail and realism, you won't find it here. If you enjoy maneuvering massive fleets into high-technology slaughter and don't mind an extremely simplistic treatment of space combat, you'll like Starfire.".

In the October 1980 issue of Fantastic, game designer Greg Costikyan wrote "Though not terribly imaginative, it is not a bad game."

In the March 1981 issue of Dragon, Tony Watson was effusive in his praise of Starfire and Starfire II. "In my opinion, the Stafire system is a real winner. The scenarios provided are interesting and moreover, the game has some very real possibilities. The versatility of the ship systems and the options for ship design can allow the players to use Starfire as a tactical module for many strategic spacegames or as the basis for player-designed campaign games. Priced at $3.95 each, the games are a real bargain; it would be difficult to find a better gaming investment."

In the May 1981 edition of Ares Magazine (Issue #8), Steve List reviewed both Starfire and Starfire II, and thought that both games used "an excellent and playable system with a lot of enjoyment potential." The only fault Goldberg found was the scale of the combat, which was a half a light-second per hex, making the weapons "unbelievably effective." Goldberg commented that the game mechanics "seemed more suited to sea-going than space-faring ships, and the putative scale is ludicrous." He also disagreed with the concept of small fighters firing missiles, calling it "an overwhelming capability." However, Goldberg concluded with a strong recommendation for both games, saying, "a nice, fast, playable and non-taxing recreation at a low price."

In Issue 29 of Phoenix, Paul King liked the game, saying, "[The] Designer's Notes [...] state that the game is designed primarily to be fast and simple, but at the same time allows large fleet games. I am pleased to say that he [designer Stephen Cole] has succeeded, for the game is just that — fast, furious and fun." Four issues later, Brian Collman also reviewed the game for Phoenix, and found the section of rules pertaining to ship design to be "one of the most desirable aspects of the game." He thought the game overall was excellent, noting that "Players have numerous decisions to make, and even more if allowed to design their own ships." He did warn players that the emphasis of this game was to have fun, and "If you are looking for a serious simulation of future space combat (a possibly meaningless quest) this game won't satisfy."

Mark Moseley

Mark DeWayne Moseley (born March 12, 1948) is an American former professional football player who was a placekicker in the National Football League (NFL) for 16 seasons. He played for Philadelphia Eagles (1970), the Houston Oilers (1971–72), the Washington Redskins (1974–86), and the Cleveland Browns (1986). A native of Livingston, Texas, Moseley played quarterback at Texas A&M University and Stephen F. Austin State University before switching to kicker for his senior season at Stephen F. Austin.

Selected by the Eagles in the 14th round of the 1970 NFL Draft, he played one season with them and then two seasons with the Houston Oilers. He was out of football in 1973 before signing with the Washington Redskins in 1974, with whom he played until 1986. He won the NFL Most Valuable Player Award during the strike-shortened 1982 season. He is the only pure special teams player to win the Sporting News’ NFL MVP award and is one of only three non-offensive MVPs.

Moseley was released by the Redskins in 1986 and retired that year after a few games with the Cleveland Browns.

Early life and education
Moseley grew up in Livingston, Texas, and played football at Livingston High School. After high school, he attended Texas A&M University from 1965 to 1966 and Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA) from 1967 to 1969. He played quarterback while at both schools until his senior season at SFA when he made the switch to placekicker. In that season, he set Lone Star Conference records for most points in a game and most field goals in a season.

Professional career
Moseley was selected 346th overall in the 14th round of the 1970 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. He was released by the Eagles in 1971 and signed by the Houston Oilers only to be released again in 1972. He spent two years out of the NFL and moved back to Livingston, Texas, where he installed septic systems and coached high school sports. During this period, he sent letters to two dozen NFL teams and routinely practiced kicking with his children returning his kicks. In 1974, the Washington Redskins signed him as a free agent.

With the retirement of the Minnesota Vikings' Rick Danmeier in 1982, Moseley became the sole full-time straight on placekicker in the National Football League; there has only been one other (Dirk Borgognone, who played two games in 1995) since then. In the 1960s, the "soccer-style" of kicking (wherein the kicker approaches the ball at an angle and kicks it with the instep) was introduced by the Hungarian brothers Pete and Charlie Gogolak, and it is now universal in the NFL and other levels.

In the strike-shortened 1982 season, Moseley converted 23 straight field goals from 1981–82, (a record at the time), made a league-leading 20 of 21 field goals, a then-record 95.2 success rate, and was responsible for 76 points. He became the first placekicker to ever win the Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player; (Hall of Famer Lou Groza would win the Sporting News NFL Player of the Year Award in 1954 as a placekicker and offensive tackle, followed by George Blanda winning the same as a kicker and quarterback in 1970.) Moseley had a much rougher time in the postseason, missing four field goals in Washington's two postseason games. But in the Washington Redskins' 27–17 victory in Super Bowl XVII over the Miami Dolphins, Moseley kicked two field goals and was successful on all three of his extra point attempts. During the following season, he led the NFL in scoring with 161 points. He also kicked the game-winning field goal in Washington's 24-21 win over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game, despite missing four prior attempts in the game.

In 1986, the 38-year-old Moseley was released by the Washington Redskins mid-season. He remains their all-time leading scorer with 1,207 points. He signed with the Cleveland Browns and retired at the end of the season, helping them win their divisional playoff game against the New York Jets with a game-winning field goal in double overtime despite missing two field goals in regulation and another in the first overtime period.

In his career, Moseley was successful on 300 out of 457 field-goal attempts (65%), successful on 482 out of 512 extra points attempts (94%), and scored a total of 1,382 points. He led the NFL in field goals made four times.

Personal life
Moseley owned two restaurants in Virginia and later became the director of franchising for Five Guys Enterprises. He has five children and 13 grandchildren. Moseley's younger sister, Pamela Moseley Carpenter, was murdered by Johnny Paul Penry in 1979. After the killing, Moseley was extremely critical of the criminal justice system's treatment of Penry, who was released after serving two years of a five-year sentence for rape months before the murder took place. Moseley said he supported giving Penry the death penalty.

Dark Science Empire Desdark
From the time when iron was discovered in ancient Turkey, the Dark Science Empire Desdark (暗黒科学帝国デスダーク) have existed to move the world in the shadows. United by Führer Taboo, they are based from the Dark Giant Castle Destopia (暗黒巨大城デストピア) that launches giant robots from its gate. It is usually underwater, but it can fly. When in flight, its high-power propulsion winds wreak destructive chaos underneath.
 * Führer Taboo (総統タブー): A one-eyed 'super gene' product of genetic engineering that hides behind a translucent wall. He is merciless and unforgiving and seeks to reform the Earth in his image. During the final episode, Goggle Red attacked him in one on one battle thrusting him thus revealing the monster he really was in the process behind his translucent wall. When the Destopia was destroyed, he finally appeared in giant form hoping to destroy the Goggle-V. He was ultimately destroyed by the Goggle Robo with the eye-poking Earth Sword Electron Galaxy Missile when the default final attack did not work on him.
 * Grand Marshal Desmark (デスマルク大元帥): A Pharaoh-like commander brought back to life by Taboo. He executed both Iguana and Zazoriya to reorganize Desdark as Führer Taboo ordered him to. He was the last to be destroyed before the emergence of Führer Taboo with Goggle Golden Spear.

However Mazurka was able to counter and the base exploded along with him.  However he was found alive and nursed back to health by the Goggle-V team until he was well to fight with them again. He showed no gratitude to the enemy by revealing the location of their new hiding place to Desmark, however with the excuse of paying his debt to the Goggle V for saving him, he protects them from Bear Moozoo. He piloted the last of the Kongs, Bear Kong before his death after the defeat of Bear Mozoo which he threatened Desmark in the process to use the robot.
 * Mazurka (マズルカ): The first female field commander introduced. Armed with Dark Sword Black Thunder sword. Serves Desdark faithfully and with extreme fierceness against those who oppose Desdark. She dies when showered with the powerful Hightron energy that makes her invisible and intangible while draining her life force considerably. She was expected to die from the process and the necklace given to her by Desdark would explode for in reality it was a bomb. She took the control from Desgiller and set the bomb to try to destroy Desgiller, but failed.
 * Dr. Zazoriya (ザゾリヤ博士): A Desdark Scientist dressed as a scorpion-woman who builds mecha-motif robots. An occasional rival of Doctor Iguana. She was put to death by Desmark.

 * In the Philippines, Goggle V was aired on RPN from 1998 with a Filipino dub.
 * In Italy, the series was broadcast in Italia 7 in the mid-1980s with an Italian dub and re-broadcast during the Power Rangers' boom in the country. This along with Denshi Sentai Denjiman were the only two Sentai shows to be broadcast with Italian dubs in the country.
 * In Brazil, the series made its debut on Rede Bandeirantes in March 1990, licensed by Oro Filmes, following the success of Dengeki Sentai Changeman and Choushinsei Flashman in the previous decade. It also aired on Rede Record in 1993 and also TV Guaíba (now RecordTV RS). It aired as "Goggle Five - Os Guerreiros do Espaço" (Dai Sentai was dubbed as "Gigantes Guerreiros", literally, "Giant Warriors"), acquired from the Italian version as they have decided to go backwards and dub an older Sentai series to compete. But it didn't reach anywhere near the same popularity as what Changeman and Flashman previously had there. This was the third Sentai series to air in the region, followed by Hikari Sentai Maskman.
 * The series was popular in Indonesia during the mid-1980s. It was the very first Super Sentai series to be aired in the region and was shown with an Indonesian dub.

 * The series aired in South Korea with a Korean dub in 1995 under Earth Task Force Goggle V. (지구특공대 가글파이브) This was after they aired a Korean dub of the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in 1994 as: The Invincible Power Rangers. (무적 파워레인저) and decided to go back to dubbing Sentai seasons. The reason why only the first season was dubbed due to the belief that the attention span of Korean kids was too short to keep up with a multiseason show. As of the Korean dub of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, it was officially renamed Power Rangers Goggle V. (파워레인저 라이브맨) This entry is the oldest work to receive a Korean dub.
