Talk:2003 Ottawa municipal election

Merger from Donna Upson
I've copied two references from the article and added them to the existing text on Upson. I also removed the sentence mentioning "wanted on charges" - if we can't provide the resolution, I think it's best to not mention the allegation either. Beyond that (and removing the wikilink around Donna Upson, since presumably it will now just redirect here), I'm not sure what else needs to be transferred. Franamax (talk) 19:31, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

ah - I missed this when I was doing a full-page merge - can we look at the section I added and see what needs to be deleted, altered. Also the references don't seem to be working right - can someone have a go at fixing it? thanks --Killerofcruft (talk) 19:50, 20 June 2008 (UTC) Insert non-formatted text here

 * It was a bad decision in the AfD to Merge that article here, made without consensus. It's a footnote to the election, and reliably-sourced detail about Upson does not belong here, it violates WP:UNDUE. I'm suggesting waiting to see if the Merge will stick. There has been no discussion of the specific reason for not merging given in Talk for the Upson article. A Merge decision in an AfD isn't binding on editors as to details, or ever, for that matter. But if someone disagrees, we can deal with it at DRV, which, I believe, is almost certain to reverse the AfD to either "No Consensus," most likely, or "Keep," since there are stronger arguments for keep than were made in the AfD. (I ran into an edit conflict withe the closer, so I put that comment in Talk for Upson.) --Abd (talk) 19:55, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

 * On second thought, I have no personal objection to the extra detail being here pending resolution. Contrary to the statement at the top of this page, there was no consensus for Merge, clearly, there was a decision by the closer to Merge, possibly based on a few comments, including my own -- which opinion I later reversed. I have reverted the merge at the Upson article; if that is reverted, I'd plan to take the AfD result to WP:DRV because I believe that the decision, on review, was clearly incorrect, for reasons described above. There is RS detail in the Upson article that isn't appropriate here, so the obvious solution is to keep the Upson article, which violates no guidelines at all, and only have a brief note here, instead of the gory details (I'd say there was already too much here). (One of the things that has happened is that a lot of reliable source on this has disappeared due to newspapers not maintaining public archives indefinitely. The newspapers still exist and could still be used for RS, but that would take time. I found comment from National Socialist sources about the jail time Upson served, and there is probably RS for this off the Internet. It's clear that she was wanted, that's from RS. --Abd (talk) 20:05, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

 * As to a renomination for deletion, that's quite unlikely to succeed. The note about renomination above is silly, it has nothing to do with editorial decisions on this page. If editors here want the content here, fine, and if they don't, they are free to not allow it. The Upson affair is minor as to this election; it created a notable flap so it deserves a sentence. Not more. It takes more than a sentence to express what is notable and sourced about Upson. Some who commented in the AfD seemed to think that the sole cause of Upson's notice by media was the election; that's not true, there is major media notice from 2000 and 2001, before the 2003 election.-Abd (talk) 20:09, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I went ahead and merged the text to conform with the rest of the article. Suttungr (talk) 00:34, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I moved your work down to a new section, "Controversy", so as to avoid the WP:UNDUE thing. I'll reiterate here that I'm very uncomfortable with noting "arrest" and "wanted" - if we can't show the conviction or acquittal after five years, why do we have this material? No matter how repugnant her views, this is a living person. Franamax (talk) 00:53, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * For the sake of article continuity, this text belongs at the top of article, not buried below the election results. As for her arrest information, it was part of the redirected article and is a matter of public record. You can't dispute that. Suttungr (talk) 00:58, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I wasn't happy about sticking it way down there, your placement is better. I'm not arguing about the facts on record as to charges. What I'm saying is that we can't leave it at "she was charged with" when it happened five years ago. We need to find the further reference as to whether she was found guilty or innocent. Five years ago, that was current information - now it's an open allegation and it needs closure one way or the other. Franamax (talk) 01:12, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, I reworded the text to conform to the available references. I couldn't find anything on whether her appeal was successful. Suttungr (talk) 01:33, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Donna Upson article restored per AfD closing admin.
See Talk:Donna Upson. The upshot of this is that difficulties with the Upson article can be dealt with there. It seems that some working on this election article haven't reviewed the sources. Upson did a year in jail, it appears. See User:Abd/Donna Upson for what I dug up with a few hours searching. It is not necessary to use the possibly biased sources, there is plenty of neutral RS. It's just that you won't find it with Google, especially if you are googling only "Donna Upson." "Donna Marie Upson" finds different sources.

Please, those who are working on this article with reference to Upson, make this article what it should be on its own, and link to the Upson article for detail beyond what is appropriate here. If, after this is done, we don't have consensus and any editor still thinks the Upson article should be deleted, AfD remains a possibility. What really happened is that there wasn't consensus in the AfD, and many !voted without being aware of just how much RS exists that has nothing to do with the Ottawa election. (That's why Merge wasn't a proper outcome, at least not without an attempt to reach consensus here in the Ottawa election article.)

Yes, some of the sourced material which has been put in and taken out is questionable. But I don't think it's necessary, the important facts are available from RS. Upson was indeed known in some circles as "Baby Hitler," according to CBC, and you could even tell from the reference, it's in the title of the article. My suggestion for here: focus on what happened in the election, what was in the Ottawa media and the national media about the election and Upson's candidacy. There was a lot of flap, indeed, far more than an ordinary "failed candidate." It seems the Klan thought of her vote count as a huge victory.... But I don't have RS for that. Yet. --Abd (talk) 17:26, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Ship's crest
Is "crest" the usual terminology for the badge/coat of arms in the USN? Heraldicly it's of course not correct, as is especially clear here when the article ends up talking about the (heraldic) crest as part of the coat of arms as part of... the ship's crest. If it's the predominant usage in practice though, we're probably stuck with it. If not, wouldn't it be much clearer to say "badge", or something? Alai 16:49, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Damage to Starboard would indicate that the Destroyer did cross the Boxcarriers course from the left and thus was in a "give way" position.

 * Damage to starboard can also be done by an overtaking vessel approaching from the starboard quarter and thus the Cargo could be the give way vessel. The difference between a Crossing and an Overtaking situation is a matter of whether the other vessel is approaching at 22.5 degree abaft the beam, or less. This is a matter of investigation to determine and damage to Fitzgerald's starboard side does NOT in itself confirm that it was the Give Way vessel. Way too much speculation on the behalf of idjits who only think they know what they are talking about because they took a few seconds to look something up on the internet without real understanding of the matter.

Hi, all. The June 17 collision has its own Wikipedia article; if you're inclined to add info to the ship's page, consider making the edits to the collision page instead. PRRfan (talk) 17:21, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Reliable Details on the Collision
I left Youtube comment sections and came here looking for solid information on the collision and how/why it might have happened, only to find that it's "under investigation". There are allegations of a cover-up being thrown around. Given that this collision is the primary reason why anyone would consider the ship to be noteworthy, the most important aspect of the collision is either why/how it happened, and/or why the US Government might be interested in withholding this information from the public. Terrorist attack? Incompetent or mentally unbalanced Commanding Officer? Failed technology (RADAR, or whatever).

It's operational security and standard procedure. They tend not to disclose exactly how to create the maximum amount of damage to and the structural weaknesses of military equipment. There are various anecdotal accounts, assumptions, fabrications regarding this topic. We're unlikely to see much information. as for a, "terrorist attack," its doubtful. Military vehicles turn off their transponders sometimes. Failed technology appears to be a possibility. There are reports that the fancy navigation system constantly blared a collision warning and so it was disabled. Incompetent? perhaps. The US navy reshuffled their leadership, retiring a few admirals and firing some as a result of the inquiry into how the collision happened. The officer at the helm was recently promoted, relatively inexperienced and the executive officer allowed them to pilot the ship without assistance at night. They crossed the bow of the freighter, essentially the same as stepping into a highway without looking. The captain of the Crystal shared some blame apparently with a significant ~36 million dollar insurance payout to the DoD out of the ~$500m total it cost to repair.

These things happen sometimes, like the Waterfall rail accident. people just set and forget, trusting the automatic navigation systems too much when experienced operators are needed to ensure all procedures are followed correctly. Who would have thought driving a 9000 ton boat would be difficult? 49.198.7.235 (talk) 04:01, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Source 20
The material of source 20 end with the following statement:

"It was also evident from this review that the entire Fitzgerald crew demonstrated real toughness that night. Following the collision these Sailors responded with urgency, determination and creativity to save their ship. Their rigorous damage control efforts and dauntless fighting in the immediate wake of the accident prevented further loss of life."

I believe that it would balance the report about the "mishap" if those were included and not just the demotion/relief of duty. That source also mentions relief of duty of various other people on board of that ship, not just the top brass. So maybe it would be correct to include that as well ?

Bell's spaceship paradox

Bell's spaceship paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity. It was first described by E. Dewan and M. Beran in 1959 but became more widely known after John Stewart Bell elaborated the idea further in 1976. A delicate thread hangs between two spaceships headed in the same direction. They start accelerating simultaneously and equally as measured in the inertial frame S, thus having the same velocity at all times as viewed from S. Therefore, they are all subject to the same Lorentz contraction, so the entire assembly seems to be equally contracted in the S frame with respect to the length at the start. At first sight, it might appear that the thread will not break during acceleration.

This argument, however, is incorrect as shown by Dewan and Beran, and later Bell. The distance between the spaceships does not undergo Lorentz contraction with respect to the distance at the start, because in S, it is effectively defined to remain the same, due to the equal and simultaneous acceleration of both spaceships in S. It also turns out that the rest length between the two has increased in the frames in which they are momentarily at rest (S′), because the accelerations of the spaceships are not simultaneous here due to relativity of simultaneity. The thread, on the other hand, being a physical object held together by electrostatic forces, maintains the same rest length. Thus, in frame S, it must be Lorentz contracted, which result can also be derived when the electromagnetic fields of bodies in motion are considered. So, calculations made in both frames show that the thread will break; in S′ due to the non-simultaneous acceleration and the increasing distance between the spaceships, and in S due to length contraction of the thread.

In the following, the rest length or proper length of an object is its length measured in the object's rest frame. (This length corresponds to the proper distance between two events in the special case, when these events are measured simultaneously at the endpoints in the object's rest frame. )

Dewan and Beran
Dewan and Beran stated the thought experiment by writing:
 * "Consider two identically constructed rockets at rest in an inertial frame S. Let them face the same direction and be situated one behind the other. If we suppose that at a prearranged time both rockets are simultaneously (with respect to S) fired up, then their velocities with respect to S are always equal throughout the remainder of the experiment (even though they are functions of time). This means, by definition, that with respect to S the distance between the two rockets does not change even when they speed up to relativistic velocities."

Then this setup is repeated again, but this time the back of the first rocket is connected with the front of the second rocket by a silk thread. They concluded:
 * "According to the special theory the thread must contract with respect to S because it has a velocity with respect to S. However, since the rockets maintain a constant distance apart with respect to S, the thread (which we have assumed to be taut at the start) cannot contract: therefore a stress must form until for high enough velocities the thread finally reaches its elastic limit and breaks."

Dewan and Beran also discussed the result from the viewpoint of inertial frames momentarily comoving with the first rocket, by applying a Lorentz transformation:
 * "Since $$\scriptstyle t'=(t-vx/c^{2})/\sqrt{1-v^{2}/c^{2}}$$, (..) each frame used here has a different synchronization scheme because of the $$vx/c^{2}$$ factor. It can be shown that as $$v$$ increases, the front rocket will not only appear to be a larger distance from the back rocket with respect to an instantaneous inertial frame, but also to have started at an earlier time."

They concluded:

 * "One may conclude that whenever a body is constrained to move in such a way that all parts of it have the same acceleration with respect to an inertial frame (or, alternatively, in such a way that with respect to an inertial frame its dimensions are fixed, and there is no rotation), then such a body must in general experience relativistic stresses."

Then they discussed the objection, that there should be no difference between a) the distance between two ends of a connected rod, and b) the distance between two unconnected objects which move with the same velocity with respect to an inertial frame. Dewan and Beran removed those objections by arguing:
 * Since the rockets are constructed exactly the same way, and starting at the same moment in S with the same acceleration, they must have the same velocity all of the time in S. Thus, they are traveling the same distances in S, so their mutual distance cannot change in this frame. Otherwise, if the distance were to contract in S, then this would imply different velocities of the rockets in this frame as well, which contradicts the initial assumption of equal construction and acceleration.
 * They also argued that there indeed is a difference between a) and b): Case a) is the ordinary case of length contraction, based on the concept of the rod's rest length l0 in S0, which always stays the same as long as the rod can be seen as rigid. Under those circumstances, the rod is contracted in S. But the distance cannot be seen as rigid in case b) because it is increasing due to unequal accelerations in S0, and the rockets would have to exchange information with each other and adjust their velocities in order to compensate for this – all of those complications don't arise in case a).

Bell
In Bell's version of the thought experiment, three spaceships A, B and C are initially at rest in a common inertial reference frame, B and C being equidistant to A. Then, a signal is sent from A to reach B and C simultaneously, causing B and C starting to accelerate in the vertical direction (having been pre-programmed with identical acceleration profiles), while A stays at rest in its original reference frame. According to Bell, this implies that B and C (as seen in A's rest frame) "will have at every moment the same velocity, and so remain displaced one from the other by a fixed distance." Now, if a fragile thread is tied between B and C, it's not long enough anymore due to length contractions, thus it will break. He concluded that "the artificial prevention of the natural contraction imposes intolerable stress".

Bell reported that he encountered much skepticism from "a distinguished experimentalist" when he presented the paradox. To attempt to resolve the dispute, an informal and non-systematic survey of opinion at CERN was held. According to Bell, there was "clear consensus" which asserted, incorrectly, that the string would not break. Bell goes on to add,
 * "Of course, many people who get the wrong answer at first get the right answer on further reflection. Usually they feel obliged to work out how things look to observers B or C. They find that B, for example, sees C drifting further and further behind, so that a given piece of thread can no longer span the distance. It is only after working this out, and perhaps only with a residual feeling of unease, that such people finally accept a conclusion which is perfectly trivial in terms of A's account of things, including the Fitzgerald contraction."

Importance of length contraction
In general, it was concluded by Dewan & Beran and Bell, that relativistic stresses arise when all parts of an object are accelerated the same way with respect to an inertial frame, and that length contraction has real physical consequences. For instance, Bell argued that the length contraction of objects as well as the lack of length contraction between objects in frame S can be explained using relativistic electromagnetism. The distorted electromagnetic intermolecular fields cause moving objects to contract, or to become stressed if hindered from doing so. In contrast, no such forces act on the space between objects. (Generally, Richard Feynman demonstrated how the Lorentz transformation can be derived from the case of the potential of a charge moving with constant velocity (as represented by the Liénard–Wiechert potential). As to the historical aspect, Feynman alluded to the circumstance that Hendrik Lorentz arrived essentially the same way at the Lorentz transformation, see also History of Lorentz transformations.)

However, Petkov (2009) and Franklin (2009) interpret this paradox differently. They agreed with the result that the string will break due to unequal accelerations in the rocket frames, which causes the rest length between them to increase (see the Minkowski diagram in the analysis section). However, they denied the idea that those stresses are caused by length contraction in S. This is because, in their opinion, length contraction has no "physical reality", but is merely the result of a Lorentz transformation, i.e. a rotation in four-dimensional space which by itself can never cause any stress at all. Thus the occurrence of such stresses in all reference frames including S and the breaking of the string is supposed to be the effect of relativistic acceleration alone.

Discussions and publications
Paul Nawrocki (1962) gives three arguments why the string should not break, while Edmond Dewan (1963) showed in a reply that his original analysis still remains valid. Many years later and after Bell's book, Matsuda and Kinoshita reported receiving much criticism after publishing an article on their independently rediscovered version of the paradox in a Japanese journal. Matsuda and Kinoshita do not cite specific papers, however, stating only that these objections were written in Japanese.

However, in most publications it is agreed that the string will break, with some reformulations, modifications and different scenarios, such as by Evett & Wangsness (1960), Dewan (1963), Romain (1963), Evett (1972), Gershtein & Logunov (1998), Tartaglia & Ruggiero (2003), Cornwell (2005), Flores (2005), Semay (2006), Styer (2007), Freund (2008), Redzic (2008), Peregoudov (2009), Redžić (2009), Gu (2009), Petkov (2009), Franklin (2009), Miller (2010), Fernflores (2011), Kassner (2012), Natario (2014), Lewis, Barnes & Sticka (2018), Bokor (2018). A similar problem was also discussed in relation to angular accelerations: Grøn (1979), MacGregor (1981), Grøn (1982, 2003).

Immediate acceleration
Similarly, in the case of Bell's spaceship paradox the relation between the initial rest length $$L$$ between the ships (identical to the moving length in S after acceleration) and the new rest length $$L'$$ in S′ after acceleration, is:

 * $$L'=\gamma L$$.

This length increase can be calculated in different ways. For instance, if the acceleration is finished the ships will constantly remain at the same location in the final rest frame S′, so it's only necessary to compute the distance between the x-coordinates transformed from S to S′. If $$x_{A}$$ and $$x_{B}=x_{A}+L$$ are the ships' positions in S, the positions in their new rest frame S′ are:

 * $$\begin{align}

x'_{A}& = \gamma\left(x_{A}-vt\right)\\ x'_{B}& = \gamma\left(x_{A}+L-vt\right)\\ L'& = x'_{B}-x'_{A}\\ & =\gamma L \end{align}$$

Another method was shown by Dewan (1963) who demonstrated the importance of relativity of simultaneity. The perspective of frame S′ is described, in which both ships will be at rest after the acceleration is finished. The ships are accelerating simultaneously at $$t_A = t_B$$ in S (assuming acceleration in infinitesimal small time), though B is accelerating and stopping in S′ before A due to relativity of simultaneity, with the time difference:

 * $$\begin{align}

\Delta t' & = t'_{B}-t'_{A}=\gamma\left(t_{B}-\frac{vx_{B}}{c^{2}}\right)-\gamma\left(t_{A}-\frac{vx_{A}}{c^{2}}\right)\\ & = \frac{\gamma vL}{c^{2}} \end{align} $$

Since the ships are moving with the same velocity in S′ before acceleration, the initial rest length $$L$$ in S is shortened in S′ by $$L'_{old}=L/\gamma$$ due to length contraction. From the frame of S′, B starts accelerating before A and also stops accelerating before A. Due to this B will always have higher velocity than A up until the moment A is finished accelerating too, and both of them are at rest with respect to S′. The distance between B and A keeps on increasing till A stops accelerating. Although A's acceleration timeline is delayed by an offset of $$\Delta t'$$, both A and B cover the same distance in their respective accelerations. But B's timeline contains acceleration and also being at rest in S` for $$\Delta t'$$ till A stops accelerating. Hence the extra distance covered by B during the entire course can be calculated by measuring the distance traveled by B during this phase. Dewan arrived at the relation (in different notation):

 * $$\begin{align}

L'& = L'_{old}+v\Delta t'=\frac{L}{\gamma}+\frac{\gamma v^{2}L}{c^{2}}\\ & = \gamma L \end{align} $$

It was also noted by several authors that the constant length in S and the increased length in S′ is consistent with the length contraction formula $$L=L'/\gamma$$, because the initial rest length $$L$$ is increased by $$\gamma$$ in S′, which is contracted in S by the same factor, so it stays the same in S:

 * $$L_{contr.}=L'/\gamma=\gamma L/\gamma=L$$

Summarizing: While the rest distance between the ships increases to $$\gamma L$$ in S′, the relativity principle requires that the string (whose physical constitution is unaltered) maintains its rest length $$L$$ in its new rest system S′. Therefore, it breaks in S′ due to the increasing distance between the ships. As explained above, the same is also obtained by only considering the start frame S using length contraction of the string (or the contraction of its moving molecular fields) while the distance between the ships stays the same due to equal acceleration.

Constant proper acceleration
Instead of instantaneous changes of direction, special relativity also allows to describe the more realistic scenario of constant proper acceleration, i.e. the acceleration indicated by a comoving accelerometer. This leads to hyperbolic motion, in which the observer continuously changes momentary inertial frames

 * $$\begin{align}x & =\frac{c^{2}}{\alpha}\left(\sqrt{1+\left(\frac{\alpha t}{c}\right)^{2}}-1\right)=\frac{c^{2}}{\alpha}\left(\cosh\frac{\alpha\tau}{c}-1\right)\\

c\tau & =\frac{c^{2}}{\alpha}\operatorname{asinh}\frac{\alpha t}{c},\quad ct=\frac{c^{2}}{\alpha}\sinh\frac{\alpha\tau}{c} \end{align}$$

where $$t$$ is the coordinate time in the external inertial frame, and $$\tau$$ the proper time in the momentary frame, and the momentary velocity is given by

 * $$v=\frac{\alpha t}{\sqrt{1+\left(\frac{\alpha t}{c}\right)^{2}}}=c\tanh\frac{\alpha\tau}{c}$$

The mathematical treatment of this paradox is similar to the treatment of Born rigid motion. However, rather than ask about the separation of spaceships with the same acceleration in an inertial frame, the problem of Born rigid motion asks, "What acceleration profile is required by the second spaceship so that the distance between the spaceships remains constant in their proper frame?" In order for the two spaceships, initially at rest in an inertial frame, to maintain a constant proper distance, the lead spaceship must have a lower proper acceleration.

This Born rigid frame can be described by using Rindler coordinates (Kottler-Møller coordinates)

 * $$\begin{align}ct & =\left(x'+\frac{c^{2}}{\alpha}\right)\sinh\frac{\alpha t'}{c}, & y & =y',\\

x & =\left(x'+\frac{c^{2}}{\alpha}\right)\cosh\frac{\alpha t'}{c}-\frac{c^{2}}{\alpha}, & z & =z'. \end{align}\ (t'=\tau)$$

The condition of Born rigidity requires that the proper acceleration of the spaceships differs by

 * $$\alpha_{2}=\frac{\alpha_{1}}{1+\frac{\alpha_{1}L'}{c^{2}}}$$

and the length $$L'=x_{2}^{\prime}-x_{1}^{\prime}$$ measured in the Rindler frame (or momentary inertial frame) by one of the observers is Lorentz contracted to $$L=x_{2}-x_{1}$$ in the external inertial frame by

 * $$L=\frac{L'}{\cosh\frac{\alpha t'}{c}}=L'\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}$$

which is the same result as above. Consequently, in the case of Born rigidity, the constancy of length L' in the momentary frame implies that L in the external frame decreases constantly, the thread doesn't break. However, in the case of Bell's spaceship paradox the condition of Born rigidity is broken, because the constancy of length L in the external frame implies that L' in the momentary frame increases, the thread breaks (in addition, the expression for the distance increase between two observers having the same proper acceleration becomes also more complicated in the momentary frame ).

Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team

The Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART) is the elite unit of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) that specialises in complex incidents such as technical rescue, urban search and rescue, water rescue operations and prolonged firefighting.

History
DART was formed in May 1990. Prior to its formation, there were several elite units such as the Rescue Squad and MRT Task Force that were established by SCDF's predecessor, Singapore Fire Service (SFS). Upon the merger of the then-Singapore Civil Defence Force and SFS, DART was established as the new SCDF's elite rescue team. The first batch of DART consisted of an amalgamation of rescuers who were previously qualified for both elite units.

Its first commander was LTC Poon Siow Hai. In the initial phase, DART participated in several aid missions overseas to gather experience and learn from other countries.

SCDF's DART is the first in the Asia-Pacific region to be classified as a Heavy Urban Search And Rescue (USAR) Team by the International Search and Rescue Advisory Group (INSARAG) in 2008. This Heavy USAR Team classification is the highest level of recognition that can be accorded to USAR Teams by the United Nations. This seal of approval allows disaster affected countries to regard SCDF's USAR capabilities favourably when prioritising acceptance of international response support.

Operations
Common day-to-day operations for DART include deploying for suicide rescue, water mishaps and height rescue missions. Notable local large-scaled operations include the Nicoll Highway collapse, where DART was deployed for a 4-day rescue operation.

DART operates on a dual base system, with DART Eastern Base located in Kallang Fire Station, and DART Western Base located in Jurong Fire Station.

Operation Lionheart
SCDF maintains a dedicated 79-man standby contingent round-the-clock codenamed Operation Lionheart where its core function is to provide urban search and rescue and/or humanitarian relief assistance to countries afflicted by major disasters. The contingent primarily comprises rescuers from DART, with other SCDF frontline units providing additional manpower support.

Several notable Operation Lionheart overseas missions include the 1993 Highland Towers collapse in Malaysia, the 1999 Jiji earthquake in Taiwan, the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake in Indonesia, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake in Pakistan, the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China, the 2011 Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand, and the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake.

SCDF Search Platoon (K9 unit)
Part of the DART unit, the Search Platoon (K-9 unit) of the SCDF trains and deploys dogs for Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) operations as well as for Fire Investigation (FI).

SCDF's FI Unit will activate the FI dogs when they are needed at the fire ground. When activated, FI dogs are deployed to search for any presence of fire accelerants. The dogs are trained to be familiar with the scent of various accelerants such as diesel, petrol, turpentine, kerosene and thinner. While USAR dogs are trained and deployed for height and depth rescue both locally and overseas. As many of the dogs were purchased from the United Kingdom, they would be given some time to adapt to the local tropical climate while getting trained in agility and obedience. Thereafter, the dogs are required to undergo urban search and rescue training where they will be exposed to various scenarios at the obstacle courses and mazes under different weather conditions and at varying difficulty levels.

The SCDF Search Platoon currently shares the same base as its counterparts from the Police K-9 Unit (Singapore) at No. 2 Mowbray Road.

Selection and training
The first DART training curriculum was derived from a combination of training methodologies inherited from the SFS and earlier Civil Defence Force. Studies were conducted on international special rescue forces' search and rescue training, in which several useful and relevant learning components were then later incorporated. Other than theoretical and psychomotor trainings, DART also focuses on inculcating mental and character resilience in its trainees. It is not only crucial for the DART members to be physically fit but also to be able to remain calm yet tough under extreme conditions.

Candidates must first pass a 30-hour selection test. Test components include a 7-kilometre run, 18-kilometre casualty evacuation, and confidence tests in the water, at height, and in confined spaces. The test is highly selective; in 2018, only seven out of fifteen candidates passed selection. After passing selection, the candidates then undergo a ten-week training course including a 36-hour mission before graduating as DART specialists.

Appliances
DART utilises custom-made appliances such as the DART Rescue Vehicle for deployments.

DART Rescue Vehicle (DRV)
The DART Rescue Vehicle (DRV) has ingeniously integrated the Heavy Rescue Tender and Special Rescue Tender into a single platform. With its flexible modular concept of deployment, the DRV can be easily configured to respond to complex missions involving either height, collapsed structure or underwater rescue operations. It can also double up as a carrier for highly specialised equipment such as the Heli-bucket and Skid Loader. One of its unique, purpose-built features is a compartment to enable our elite DART rescuers to gear up and even discuss rescue strategies while on transit to the incident location.

DART Amphibious Vehicle (DAV)
The DART Amphibious Vehicle (DAV) enhances SCDF's response to fire and rescue incidents in Singapore's inland and coastal waters. Operated by a four-men crew, the DAV is able to achieve speeds of up to 100 km/h on land and up to 25 knots in water via its twin water jet propulsion system. It is able to enter directly into water bodies and swiftly transits from land to water mode in just 15 seconds using hydraulic wheel-retracting technology.

DART Utility Vehicle (DUV)
The DART Utility Vehicle (DUV) is a 5-Tonner which is deployed as a troop and equipment carrier.

DART Rescue Dog Tender (RDT)
The RDT is used by SCDF Search Platoon to deploy USAR Dogs and Fire Investigation Dogs.

Heli-bucket
The heli-bucket is a water dispenser slung underneath a helicopter to collect water from any open source, such as a reservoir or sea. The water in the bucket will then be discharged at the base of the bucket, when the release button is activated. The heli-bucket was acquired by the SCDF to enhance its ground firefighting capability for large bush fires and fires that are in remote forested areas. It has since been deployed by DART to assist the Thailand authorities in fighting a forest fire in Chiang Mai in March 2015 and Indonesian authorities in aerial haze firefighting operations in October 2015.

Rigid inflatable boat
The Rigid inflatable boat is a lightweight but high-performance and high capacity boat constructed with a rigid hull bottom joined to side-forming air tubes that are inflated with air to a high pressure so as to give the sides resilient rigidity along the boat's topsides. DART utilises the Rigid inflatable boat for water rescue operations along the coastal areas of Singapore.

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved as requested Fences  &  Windows  22:32, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Beechwood Cemetery (Ottawa, Ontario) → Beechwood Cemetery Beechwood Cemetery → Beechwood Cemetery (disambiguation) The Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa is Canada's national cemetery. It is also a National Historic Site of Canada, has been designated as the National Military Cemetery of the Canadian Forces and inspired a well-known poem. It is clearly the primary topic, as compared to the other Beechwood(s) cemeteries. A Google search shows the vast majority of links pertain to the cemetery in Ottawa, with a smattering of links pertaining to the cemeteries in just outside Toronto (in Concord) and in Durham, North Carolina. The article on the Ottawa cemetery should be at the plain title (it was at the plain title until about 7 months ago when it was moved without discussion), with a hatnote pointing to the disambiguation page (I am not even sure that the other Beechwood cemeteries meet WP:N). Skeezix1000 (talk) 16:42, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Oppose There are tens of Beechwood Cemeteries allover the world. --Foroa (talk) 19:34, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * That's not really the point. The proposed moving back of the article is based on the naming guideline at WP:PRIME, not on the basis that there are no other cemeteries named Beechwood.  Assuming any of those other cemeteries could meet the minimum requirements at WP:N to have their own Wikipedia article (and that is a big if - the one article at Beechwood Cemetery (Durham, North Carolina) is still a stub, so it's hard to know), the issue at hand is whether any of them are as significant as the cemetery in Ottawa such that the Ottawa facility is not the primary topic.  --Skeezix1000 (talk) 20:53, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, i think the rule of thumb is that more than half of all readers have to be looking for one article, not just for it to be the most popular article out of many. I think u meant that this further standard will continue to be met. --doncram (talk) 21:36, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think that there is any such rule of thumb. Article traffic is listed as just one of several tools which may assist in determining primary topic, and none of which are determinative factors. Having said that, I would suspect that more than half the traffic would continue to be to the Ottawa article. -Skeezix1000 (talk) 00:33, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

 * 2) How many pageviews would go to many other Beechwood Cemetery articles, if those were created too. Not sure the Ottawa one would still get more than half of total.
 * 3) There are is at least one other Beechwood Cemetery in Ontario, at Concord/Vaughan in Toronto area.
 * 4) I don't oppose a finding either way about whether the Ottawa one is regarded currently as wp:PRIMARYUSAGE, but if PRIMARYUSAGE is determined then the Ottawa one should show a hatnote to the disambiguation page, rather than a hatnote pointing to the admittedly less important one in North Carolina. Other Beechwood Cemeteries will get added to Wikipedia over time and join the dab page, just set it right now, for good. --doncram (talk) 18:57, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Hi, Doncram. To answer you questions in the same order: (1)You're right.  The discussion and links were created automatically, as you suggested, so it didn't even occur to me.  I will add a note manually to that talk page.  Thanks for the heads up. (2)There is no answer to that question.  I suspect that since Wikipedia now has 3,300,000+ articles, but still no articles on those cemeteries, I suspect very few pageviews.  But that's just a guess. (3) The cemetery in Concord is mentioned above where the page move is proposed. (4)Agreed.  That was always my understanding about how it would work - that way the hatnote need not be updated if new articles ever do appear. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 21:00, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I answered the question about the note on the talk page for the current disambiguation page. A bot did add a note over there about this discussion, but the talk page was still redirected to the talk page for the article on the Ottawa cemetery, so the bot's note would not appear.  I deleted the redirect, and it's fine now. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 21:06, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Stuff removed from History of Ottawa article
The area soon was booming, based almost exclusively upon the Ottawa Valley timber trade.

Richmond Road, Ottawa's first thoroughfare.

Richmond Landing was a small settlement started in 1809 by Jehiel Collins with his family. The "Jehiel Collins' store" was located just south of Victoria Island east of the present-day Portage Bridge in present day Lebreton Flats.

The area that would later be known as Bytown had an early small settlement, named Richmond Landing, which would have a road to Richmond, a store and a tavern. Richmond Landing originated with Jehiel Collins who in 1809 built a log cabin and store on the south shore of the Ottawa River, near the Chaudière Falls area. Collins is credited as the first settler of what would become Bytown. In 1818, the landing saw some settlement. Several English regiments were offered land to build a settlement at Richmond, and their families stayed at Richmond Landing. The soldiers hacked their way through the forests, carving out what would become the 30 km long Richmond Road, Ottawa's first thoroughfare.

John MacTaggart describes the project in the following way: "We have laid out two villages, and all the lots are taken up; it surprises me to see the anxiety the people have to become citizens here."

The Union Bridge was completed in 1828, spanning the Ottawa River near Bytown's Chaudière Falls, and named because it linked Upper and Lower Canada. In 1827, Sappers Bridge connecting the Upper Town (west of the canal) and Lower Town (east of the canal) was built over the Rideau Canal. Sappers Bridge joined Rideau Street (east of the canal), to a wagon trail (on its west side) that winded its way to where it met Wellington and Bank. The land east of Bank Street had been acquired from Nicholas Sparks by the military, who returned it to him in late 1849, where he commenced its development. Thereafter, Sappers Bridge became connected directly to Sparks Street.. Sappers Bridge lasted nearly a century when it was replaced by today's Plaza Bridge. Two large chunks of it sit at the site of Colonel By's house in Major's Hill Park today.

Bay????????
Joseph Bouchette in the summer of 1828 wrote: "The streets are laid out with much regularity, and of a liberal width that will hereafter contribute to the convenience, salubrity and elegance of the place. The number of houses now built is about 150, most of which are constructed of wood; frequently in a style of neatness and taste that reflects great credit upon the Inhabitants. On the elevated banks of the Bay, the Hospital, an extensive stone building, and three Barracks stand conspicuous; nearly on a level with them, and on the eastern side of the Bay, is the residence of Colonel By, Command Royal Engineer at that Station."

What does Bay mean? I think it has a specific name. Komitsuki (talk) 05:08, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Abercrombie River

Abercrombie River, a perennial river that is part of the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the central west of New South Wales, Australia.

Course
The river rises to the east of the village of Mount Werong and generally flows westward towards its confluence with the Lachlan River at Wyangala Dam near Cowra. The river flows through freehold land as well as the Abercrombie River National Park, and provides habitat for platypus and rakali, dropping 758 m over its course of 130 km.

The Abercrombie River is the furthest east of the inland flowing rivers.

History

The original inhabitants of the land alongside the river were Australian Aborigines of the Wiradjuri or Gundungara clans, which may have used the river as a trading route.

The first European to discover the watercourse was explorer Charles Throsby on 5 May 1819, during an expedition from Sydney to the central west of New South Wales. The river was named by Commissioner John Thomas Bigge on 22 October 1820.

Alluvial gold was discovered in and along the river in 1851, inspiring a minor gold rush hampered by the ruggedness of the terrain and the periodic depths of the waterway. Early miners recovered up to 3 oz of gold a day along the river, and by 1862 between forty and fifty mining parties were at work at Milburne Creek, a minor tributary of the Abercrombie.

The Goulburn-Oberon Road crosses the Abercrombie River in the steep-sided Abercrombie Gorge.

Tensor–vector–scalar gravity

Tensor–vector–scalar gravity (TeVeS), developed by Jacob Bekenstein in 2004, is a relativistic generalization of Mordehai Milgrom's Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) paradigm.

The main features of TeVeS can be summarized as follows:
 * As it is derived from the action principle, TeVeS respects conservation laws;
 * In the weak-field approximation of the spherically symmetric, static solution, TeVeS reproduces the MOND acceleration formula;
 * TeVeS avoids the problems of earlier attempts to generalize MOND, such as superluminal propagation;
 * As it is a relativistic theory it can accommodate gravitational lensing.

The theory is based on the following ingredients:
 * A unit vector field;
 * A dynamical scalar field;
 * A nondynamical scalar field;
 * A matter Lagrangian constructed using an alternate metric;
 * An arbitrary dimensionless function.

These components are combined into a relativistic Lagrangian density, which forms the basis of TeVeS theory.

Details
MOND is a phenomenological modification of the Newtonian acceleration law. In Newtonian gravity theory, the gravitational acceleration in the spherically symmetric, static field of a point mass $$M$$ at distance $$r$$ from the source can be written as

 * $$a = -\frac{GM}{r^2},$$

where $$G$$ is Newton's constant of gravitation. The corresponding force acting on a test mass $$m$$ is

 * $$F=ma.$$

To account for the anomalous rotation curves of spiral galaxies, Milgrom proposed a modification of this force law in the form

 * $$ F=\mu \left (\frac{a}{a_0} \right )ma,$$

where $$\mu(x)$$ is an arbitrary function subject to the following conditions:

 * $$\mu(x)= \begin{cases} 1 & |x|\gg 1 \\ x & |x|\ll 1 \end{cases} $$

In this form, MOND is not a complete theory: for instance, it violates the law of momentum conservation.

However, such conservation laws are automatically satisfied for physical theories that are derived using an action principle. This led Bekenstein to a first, nonrelativistic generalization of MOND. This theory, called AQUAL (for A QUAdratic Lagrangian) is based on the Lagrangian

 * $${\mathcal L}=-\frac{a_0^2}{8\pi G}f\left(\frac{|\nabla\Phi|^2}{a_0^2}\right)-\rho\Phi,$$

where $$\Phi$$ is the Newtonian gravitational potential, $$\rho$$ is the mass density, and $$f(y)$$ is a dimensionless function.

In the case of a spherically symmetric, static gravitational field, this Lagrangian reproduces the MOND acceleration law after the substitutions $$a=-\nabla\Phi$$ and $$\mu(\sqrt{y})=df(y)/dy$$ are made.

Bekenstein further found that AQUAL can be obtained as the nonrelativistic limit of a relativistic field theory. This theory is written in terms of a Lagrangian that contains, in addition to the Einstein–Hilbert action for the metric field $$g_{\mu\nu}$$, terms pertaining to a unit vector field $$u^\alpha$$ and two scalar fields $$\sigma$$ and $$\phi$$, of which only $$\phi$$ is dynamical. The TeVeS action, therefore, can be written as

 * $$S_\mathrm{TeVeS}=\int\left({\mathcal L}_g+{\mathcal L}_s+{\mathcal L}_v\right)d^4x.$$

The terms in this action include the Einstein–Hilbert Lagrangian (using a metric signature $$[+,-,-,-]$$ and setting the speed of light, $$c=1$$):

 * $${\mathcal L}_g=-\frac{1}{16\pi G}R\sqrt{-g},$$

where $$R$$ is the Ricci scalar and $$g$$ is the determinant of the metric tensor.

The scalar field Lagrangian is

 * $${\mathcal L}_s=-\frac{1}{2}\left[\sigma^2h^{\alpha\beta}\partial_\alpha\phi\partial_\beta\phi+\frac{1}{2}\frac{G}{l^2}\sigma^4F \left (kG\sigma^2 \right)\right]\sqrt{-g},$$

where $$h^{\alpha\beta}=g^{\alpha\beta}-u^\alpha u^\beta, l$$ is a constant length, $$ k$$ is the dimensionless parameter and $$F$$ an unspecified dimensionless function; while the vector field Lagrangian is

 * $${\mathcal L}_v=-\frac{K}{32\pi G}\left[g^{\alpha\beta}g^{\mu\nu} \left (B_{\alpha\mu}B_{\beta\nu} \right )+2\frac{\lambda}{K} \left (g^{\mu\nu}u_\mu u_\nu-1 \right )\right]\sqrt{-g}$$

where $$B_{\alpha\beta}=\partial_\alpha u_\beta-\partial_\beta u_\alpha,$$ while $$K$$ is a dimensionless parameter. $$k$$ and $$K$$ are respectively called the scalar and vector coupling constants of the theory. The consistency between the Gravitoelectromagnetism of the TeVeS theory and that predicted and measured by the Gravity Probe B leads to $$K=\frac{k}{2\pi}$$, and requiring consistency between the near horizon geometry of a black hole in TeVeS and that of the Einstein theory, as observed by the Event Horizon Telescope leads to  $$K=-30 + \frac{72 \pi}{k}.$$ So the coupling constants read:

 * $$K= 3(\pm\sqrt{29}-5), \qquad k = 6\pi (\pm \sqrt{29}-5)$$

The function $$F$$ in TeVeS is unspecified.

TeVeS also introduces a "physical metric" in the form

 * $${\hat g}^{\mu\nu}=e^{2\phi}g^{\mu\nu}-2u^\alpha u^\beta\sinh(2\phi).$$

The action of ordinary matter is defined using the physical metric:

 * $$S_m=\int{\mathcal L} \left ({\hat g}_{\mu\nu},f^\alpha,f^\alpha_{|\mu},\ldots \right)\sqrt{-{\hat g}}d^4x,$$

where covariant derivatives with respect to $${\hat g}_{\mu\nu}$$ are denoted by $$|.$$

TeVeS solves problems associated with earlier attempts to generalize MOND, such as superluminal propagation. In his paper, Bekenstein also investigated the consequences of TeVeS in relation to gravitational lensing and cosmology.

Problems and criticisms
In addition to its ability to account for the flat rotation curves of galaxies (which is what MOND was originally designed to address), TeVeS is claimed to be consistent with a range of other phenomena, such as gravitational lensing and cosmological observations. However, Seifert shows that with Bekenstein's proposed parameters, a TeVeS star is highly unstable, on the scale of approximately 106 seconds (two weeks). The ability of the theory to simultaneously account for galactic dynamics and lensing is also challenged. A possible resolution may be in the form of massive (around 2eV) neutrinos.

A study in August 2006 reported an observation of a pair of colliding galaxy clusters, the Bullet Cluster, whose behavior, it was reported, was not compatible with any current modified gravity theory.

A quantity $$E_G$$ probing general relativity (GR) on large scales (a hundred billion times the size of the solar system) for the first time has been measured with data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to be $$E_G=0.392\pm{0.065}$$ (~16%) consistent with GR, GR plus Lambda CDM and the extended form of GR known as $f(R)$ theory, but ruling out a particular TeVeS model predicting $$E_G=0.22$$. This estimate should improve to ~1% with the next generation of sky surveys and may put tighter constraints on the parameter space of all modified gravity theories.

TeVeS appears inconsistent with recent measurements made by LIGO of gravitational waves.

Everything's Eventual (album)

Everything's Eventual is the debut and only studio album by Canadian duo Appleton, made up of sisters Natalie and Nicole Appleton. It was released on February 24, 2003, through Polydor Records. Three singles were released from the album: "Fantasy", "Don't Worry" and "Everything Eventually".

"We created the album ourselves off our own backs so there was no need to change any elements when we signed our new deal. It has just been mixed since we signed to Polydor," the duo said. "We love our All Saints fans and hope we can also attract new fans as our music has developed. We've been enjoying playing around with new ideas in the studio with no limits and it’s a new beginning for us."

The album is named after the Stephen King short story collection Everything's Eventual, since Natalie Appleton is a great admirer of him. The album was initially to be named Aloud but the name was changed to avoid any association with then labelmates winners Girls Aloud. The album and singles performed reasonably well on the UK charts; however the label thought that 70,000 copies sold was too little for their contract, and this eventually led to Appleton being dropped by Polydor.

Demon Music Group released the first-ever 12-inch vinyl versions of the album on 17 June 2023, to celebrate 20 years since its first release. Purple- and white-coloured versions were pressed with original album art, lyrics and photographs.

Omicron Aquilae

Omicron Aquilae (ο Aql, ο Aquilae) is the Bayer designation for a double star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. The brighter component has an apparent visual magnitude of +5.11, which means it is faintly visible to the naked eye in dark suburban skies. The annual parallax shift of this star is 52.11 mas, which is equivalent to a physical distance of 62.6 ly from Earth.

The primary component, Omicron Aquilae A, is an F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F8 V. It has about 125% of the mass of the Sun and 152% of the Sun's radius. With an age of roughly 3.3 billion years, it appears to spinning at a leisurely rate with a projected rotational velocity of 3 km/s. The outer atmosphere has an effective temperature of 6,090 K, giving it the yellowish-white hue of an F-type star.

In 1998, Omicron Aquilae was one of nine stars identified as experiencing a superflare. The first flare observed from Omicron Aquilae was in 1979, with a magnitude increase of 0.07 and a duration of less than five days. The second occurred in 1980, with a magnitude change of 0.09 and a duration of fifteen days. The energy released during the second flare is estimated as 9 × 1037 erg.

There is a magnitude 12.67 common proper motion companion located at an angular separation of 22.5 arcseconds along a position angle of 221°. Based upon its matching parallax value, this corresponds to a projected separation of 431 astronomical units. (Hence, the companion is located at this separation or greater.) Designated component C, this is a small red dwarf star with a stellar classification of M3 V. Component B is an optical companion that appears near the primary only through a chance alignment.

A ton of edits made recently are factually incorrect, and are unsourced.

Image needs replacement
Hello all...

An image used in the article, specifically Image:Algonquin-name.jpg and also Image:Algonquin-sign.jpg, has a little bit of a licensing issue. The image was uploaded back when the rules around image uploading were less restrictive. It is presumed that the uploader was willing to license the picture under the GFDL license but was not clear in that regard. As such, the image, while not at risk of deletion, is likely not clearly licensed to allow for free use in any future use of this article. If anyone has an image that can replace this, or can go take one and upload it, it would be best.

It is a common belief that not all of the casualties were removed from the collapse and that there are bodies still inside the bridge. Can anyone verify this?

Yeshiva Torah Vodaas

Yeshiva Torah Vodaas is a yeshiva in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.

History
The yeshiva was conceived in 1917 and formally opened in 1918, by Binyomin Wilhelm and Louis Dershowitz, to provide a yeshiva education to the children of families then moving from the Lower East Side to the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. The two friends and Rabbi Zev Gold of the local Congregation Beth Jacob Anshe Sholom formed a board and established the yeshiva on Keap Street in Williamsburg as an elementary school. The yeshiva later moved to a new building at 206 Wilson Street and remained there until 1967, while he elementary school remained at 206 Wilson St. until 1974 when it moved to East 9th Street in Brooklyn. The school was named after a yeshiva founded in Lida in 1905 by Rabbi Yitzchak Yaacov Reines, which combined secular studies with Jewish studies and traditional Talmud study. During this period the yeshiva was modeled after those in Europe, with religious studies taught in Yiddish and Talmud taught in the style of the European yeshivas.

Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz headed the yeshiva from 1922 to 1948. A mesivta (yeshiva high school) was opened in 1926 and later a yeshiva gedola. Rabbi Dovid Leibovitz, a torah scholar from Europe, headed the yeshiva's beit midrash (study hall) from 1929 but left after four years to start his own yeshiva (Yeshivas Chofetz Chaim) after personal conflicts with Mendlowitz. Two years later, in 1935, Rabbi Shlomo Heiman became rosh yeshiva (head of the yeshiva), a position he held until his death in 1944.

After Mendlowitz died in 1948 rabbis Yaakov Kamenetzky and Refael Reuvain Grozovsky became roshei yeshiva.

The yeshiva has since expanded to include a beit midrash in Monsey, an elementary school division in nearby Marine Park, and two summer camps. The student body from nursery to postgraduate kollel, numbered nearly 2,000 students in 2012.

Philosophy
"Torah im Derech Eretz" historically influenced the yeshiva's philosophy, but today it is strongly influenced by the Haredi philosophy. However, Torah Vodaath is one of the many major haredi yeshivas that allow its students to attend college while studying at the yeshiva. The great majority of the yeshiva's graduates go on to work in fields that are not related to the Torah education that they received in yeshiva.

Roshei Yeshiva
The three roshei yeshiva as of 2018 were rabbis Yisroel Reisman, Yosef Savitsky, and Yitzchok Lichtenstein.

The previous roshei yeshiva include rabbis Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz, Yisroel Belsky, Avraham Yaakov Pam, Shlomo Heiman, Dovid Leibowitz, Yaakov Kamenetsky, Shachne Zohn, Zelik Epstein, Gedalia Schorr, Elya Chazan, Reuvain Fein, Simcha Sheps, Moshe Rosen (Nezer HaKodesh), and Reuvain Grozovsky.

Wikiethics
Hi,

We started a proposal Wikiethics to state the existing policies coherently and make suggestions on improving the editorial standards in Wiki. I thought you might be interested in contributing to that proposal.

Unfortunately, a pro-porn and pro-offense lobby is trying to make this proposal a failure. They unilaterally started an approval poll although almost no one including me believe that it is time for a vote, simply because the policy is not ready. It is not even written completely.

Editors who thinks that it needs to be improved rather than killed by an unfair poll at the beginning of the proposal, started another poll ('Do we really need a poll at this stage?') at the same time. The poll is vandalized for a while but it is stable now. A NO vote on this ('Do we really need a poll now?') poll will strengthen the position of the editors who are willing to improve the policy further.

If you have concerns about the ethics and editorial standards in Wiki, please visit the page Wikiethics with your suggestions on the policy. We have two subpages: Arguments and Sections. You might want to consider reviewing these pages as well...

Thanks in advance. Resid Gulerdem 21:12, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Pretoria Bridge

Pretoria Avenue
'The bridge shares its name with Pretoria Avenue, of which it is a continuation.' This is incorrect. Although it is close to Pretoria Avenue, the connection is indirect. The bridge is actually a continuation of Hawthorne Avenue directly to the east of the bridge. Grandma Roses (talk) 11:58, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Controversy
Though the facts over the recent history of this bridge are well-documented and referenced, there has been an active campaign to remove references to past history as it relates to future of this bridge for local transit from this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.88.53.144 (talk) 13:13, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Rename
I suggest this page be renamed Prince of Wales Railway Bridge (Ottawa), as I believe there are plans to build another bridge across the Rideau River at the end of Prince of Wales Drive. --RealGrouchy 19:40, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't that bridge be in Ottawa as well? -- Earl Andrew - talk 04:19, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I think he's advocating more for the addition of 'Railway' than of 'Ottawa', to differentiate. Do we know for certain that this Prince of Wales Drive bridge will be named for the road? Radagast 00:37, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Some bridges end up being called by the name of the road that passes over them as often as by their official names (e.g. the Bloor Viaduct). —Eric S. Smith 17:58, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Spur
The article states "Trains of the Quebec Gatineau Railway have still used the Gatineau side as a spur, to manoeuvre into the E.B. Eddy/Domtar plant on Lemieux Island." While there is a set of tracks leading into the area, the split is closer to the Ottawa side meaning that trains would have to go all the way to the Ottawa bridge and then reverse direction to use the tracks. Even so, the tracks encounter a fence which is also blocked by storage sheds. The tracks are also overgrown so they're no longer used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skootles (talk • contribs) 20:49, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

MOOSE iniitiative
There is a private sector initiative to build an extensive commuter rail system in Ottawa-Gatineau, and the Prince of Wales bridge is a key element of the plan.

See below one article relating to the bridge as it relates to this initiative.

Double Fudge

Double Fudge is a 2002 children's novel by Judy Blume and the fifth and final entry in the Fudge series. The Hatcher family goes to Washington, D.C. where they spend time with their extended family, and Fudge finds out that his cousin is also named Farley Drexel Hatcher. His interest in money is a common theme throughout the story.

Plot
In this latest installment of the Fudge series, Fudge is still five years old and takes up an obsessive and greedy love for money, driving his twelve-year-old brother, Peter, insane, and after some talking with his family, they decide to take him to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington, D.C. for a long weekend to show how it is made, hoping that his obsession would stop there. That plan doesn't work, and instead, they meet up with their long-lost cousins, the Howie Hatchers. There is Howie, a park ranger who resides in Hawaii and is traveling the country, his pregnant wife, Eudora, their perfect, slightly overindulged twelve-year-old identical twin daughters, Flora and Fauna, who are sometimes nicknamed the "Natural Beauties" and the "Heavenly Hatchers", and last but not least, three-year-old Farley Drexel Hatcher, which is also Fudge's real name. Peter dubs him "Mini", and the nickname sticks. The Hatchers are forced when the Howie Hatchers invite themselves to move in with them for weeks in their Upper West Side apartment.

Peter is also having a rough time throughout the story because his best friend, Jimmy Fargo, has left the Upper West Side and moved "far off" to SoHo on the other side of Manhattan, although they still get to go to the same school, where they're both in the seventh grade, while Fudge is in *Mixed* group, along with his new friend, Melissa Beth Miller. Near the end of the story, in a semi-homage to the ending of the first novel, Mini swallows Fudge's baby tooth that just fell out, making him furious at him because he was planning to get a dollar for it from the tooth fairy. After the Howie Hatchers leave with Mini for good, Fudge throws a temper tantrum over what Mini did, saying he hated him. Then Peter tells him that he felt the same way when Fudge swallowed his pet turtle, Dribble, in Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. Genuinely surprised at this news, Fudge thinks about this and finally realizes that he hasn't been a very good brother to him.

Reception
Publishers Weekly gave the book a positive review, stating that fans of the previous books in the series will welcome it, and describing it as a cheerful read. Conversely, Kirkus Reviews gave it a negative review, describing it as being too busy and "surprisingly unfunny".

The first, top, photo is that of "Deschâtelets Residence" not of St. Paul University.

This Residence, formerly St. Joseph's Scholasticate, is owned and operated by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. In addition to being an Oblate community, room and board in the house are reserved for priests, religious men and women, and students who want to live in a religious house during their studies in Ottawa.

P.R. department, anyone?
I've reverted a complete re-write of the main body of the article which sounds suspiciously like it came from the university's public affairs department (or equivalent). Wikipedia is intended to be a general interest encyclopedia. The previous edit had more factual information, links to other articles and was in the third person. Editors are welcome to correct or clarify any factual errors, but kindly do not completely remove the previous contributions. -Dhodges 18:31, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Problem priests
I read that there were allegations that Saint Paul University was a sort of revolving door for problem priests. Perhaps this could be included in the article if more relevant sources were found. ADM (talk) 10:41, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
