Talk:Kaname Tōsen

Phrase
"However, it is later revealed that this phrase is another way to say "take the path that Tōsen himself chooses", since his eyes cannot see blood and therefore they only "see blood" when he is personally unhappy."

I don't think that this is particularily true. Tousen truly believes that the path of least bloodshed is going with Aizen, and though some may view this as being greedy or unhappy, the story never implies this. Through all his actions he has been acting in the best interests of peace, not himself. If he didn't have his background detailed then I would probably agree with you, however, his mentor taught him always to take the path of least bloodshed and to deliver justice wherever he could. He may even be following Aizen just to kill him later, this would be the path of the absolute LEAST bloodshed, right? (As opposed to having a massive war between Hollows, SS, Vizards and so forth).

So in summary it was never revealed or implied that Tousen was that vapid, and I think that sentence should be reworded or removed.

This part:

since his eyes cannot see blood and therefore they only "see blood" when he is personally unhappy.

may be problematic, so feel free to re-word/remove it, but the previous sentence is not my opinion. It's taken from ch. 178 p. 12 (I think 13 in the scanlation). He says 'Whatever path I walk (choose) is the path to justice'. -- Ynhockey 05:02, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * "Whatever path I walk is the path to justice" Is synonymous with the statement "I will always walk the path to justice, whatever I do." It's just an issue of how you intone your words. I'm pretty sure the Tousen does indeed think the path he has chosen is the least bloody, as he probably believes it will lead to an ultimate peace and union between Hollows and Shinigami. --Tjstrf 07:05, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Just curious, where does it say:
This, "She was soon accepted by the Academy; however, her husband killed her because she scolded him for killing a comrade over a petty argument." ? I don't remember where that was in the manga.

Administrator Tōsen
In Chapter 240 Page 11, Luppi refers to Tōsen as Administrator Tōsen. The title may not fit exactly due to translation but administrator is probably the best translation for the word.Gdo01 18:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Enhanced Powers
Anybody else find it weird that Tousen lost to Kenpachi who was defeated by Ichigo. Yet after the hougyoku arc he was able to destroy Grimmjaw's arm while Ichigo was having trouble damaging Grimmjaw even with his hollow powers and the black getsuga tensho. I know Ichigo did some damage to him but no where near did he have as much an easy time on it. Tousen easily destroyed his arm before he could even react while Ichigo who has his speed enhanced still couldn't match Grimmjaw on even terms. Has Tousen gone through some amazing power boost, or gotten hollow powers of his own. If someone doesn't reply or object soon I'm going to include this developement in the article - Noman953

 * There are a lot of plausible explanations about Tōsen's power, and speculation about it should not go into the article. For instance, the fact that he lost to Zaraki does not mean he is weaker, the same applies to the Ichigo vs. Zaraki fight. Here are a few things to consider:
 * It's possible that, because Ichigo borrowed energy from his inner hollow during his fight with Zaraki, he was at a much higher power level, similar to the time when he was masked for 11 seconds and completely owned Grimmjow. You need to also remember that Zaraki came out will less severe injuries from the fight and only 'lost' it because his sword shattered.
 * Tōsen may have beaten Zaraki if he knew about the latter's power level and abilities. You could say he lost because of the element of surprise - he did not expect Zaraki to be completely unafraid of his final release, etc. He may also have been holding back against Zaraki all up until the moment he knew he was losing, so as not to expose his superior power which Komamura (and others) were not supposed to know about.
 * There are probably other explanations and I will leave that to other users. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 23:34, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

 * no idea but good point really we wont know until he shows his power but still you must think he seemed more like he was going to let zaraki suffer before he killed him so me might not have been using his full power and also it seemed like he got grimmjow by surprise NekrosKoma 23:09, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

 * yes Ynhockey i would say that cihigo did borrow some of his hollows powers since the hollow mask appered on his person after the fight, BTW your post might have dissapeared because i started writing mine before you then submitted mine after yours

Tosen also attacked Grimmjow when his back was turned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.181.91.17 (talk) 00:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Also im pretty sure even Grimmjow knows better than to fight Aizens soul reaper compatriots. You also have to factor into this that any normal soul reaper would probably be laying on the ground dying after being hit with Tosens shikai that rains swords upon them, Zaraki lived due to the fact he's strong and his sheer amount of spiritual pressue dulls his enemies blades. I dont find it any bit odd or suspicious he could harm Grimmjow like that. a surprise attack like that shouldnt really be compared to a battle between individuals either. The element of the fight is completely different. Anyone else notice how noman seems to be a bit of a troll?--Licourtrix (talk) 09:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

could someone check...
The "correct" kanji for Suzumushi "cricket" is 鈴虫, but given Kubo's tendency to use different kanji, 清虫 could be correct. Does anyone have a source on this? --Pentasyllabic 03:31, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * 清虫 is correct. Check 126-16. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 15:20, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Re: translation - Jim Breen's WWWJDIC translates 鳴け as sing (bark, purr, etc., animal sounds), and 飛蝗 as grasshopper; individually it means flying + locust/grasshopper. --Pentasyllabic 18:22, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * First of all, Jim Breen doesn't translate it as sing. In EDICT (the part of WWWJDIC that contains words - not names etc.) it says, for naku (鳴く): 'to bark, to purr, to make sound (animal)'. However, the kanji itself (鳴) also means 'to chime' (narasu) and 'to ring' (naru). Any of those translations is valid because Kubo usually displays commands and terms ideographically instead of phonetically. Phonetically, naku (泣く) can also mean to sing, as in bird song (according to EDICT anyway), but this is a seldom used meaning. Usually it means to cry (as in, shed tears). So, 'to sing' is definitely not the meaning here, considering it's a different ideograph. Also does it look like Suzumushi is singing? 'Ring, Suzumushi' could work, but it's ambiguous in English, therefore 'chime' is more appropriate. About the grasshopper, that would be correct ideographically I guess. Again, not phonetically but that's OK. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 12:55, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Notable Battles
I'm on an anti notable battles section campaign and you'll find this same message in some other articles. I don't want to be the obnoxious wikipedian who self righteously deletes other peoples contributions. But I feel this section is useless and whatever in it should be in the synopsis. because there should be some symmetry between articles. Either all characters should have notable battles section or none should have it at all. Noman953
 * What about those whoe have not been in any notable battles or any battle whatsoever? --Bushido Brown 21:35, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Two release commands
is it possible that his two release commands may spawn from the fact that Suzumushi has had two owners and one of them spawns from tosen and the other from the previous owner?
 * No, because nothing in the series has in any way supported that idea. --tjstrf talk 21:28, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, it hasn't been stated anywhere as far as I know, but it would be quite logical. Then again a Zanpakuto should cease to exist after it's owner has died (they are part of him/her).. So, logic-schmogic. I'd say yes on the idea but I'm not suggesting it should be added on the article.. --Petrim (talk) 21:03, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I think its more of seperate abilities of his shikai each with thier own command. like the abilities of Uraharas. Also the Sealed Sword Frenzy OVA showed that some zanpakuto do survive their owners demise. I'd venture saying Tosen can use it so well because his personality and goal is similar to that of its original owner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Licourtrix (talk • contribs) 09:02, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

blindness
“He has been blind since birth [...] although this was not always the case.” Huh? —Frungi 18:12, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I just noticed some guy fixed the sentence soon after I posted, so, never mind. —Frungi 03:38, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Voice Actor
This is really getting ridiculous, The voice actor is JB Blanc, it is not Dave Wittenberg, I thought it was him at first in around episode 20 when he had a line that was basically "he couldn't make it here today.", So I can tell you that its not wittenberg, the most recent episode (37) had a lot more dialogue from Tosen and I can tell you from sound experience it is not Wittenberg, it is JB Blanc, because he has stated he is in it on his own website which can be found on his wiki profile JB Blanc. I don't know if this is here But I HAVE personally and seriously communicated with him and have talked with him, so I do know him and I would never make something like this up. It is also his voice because if you listen closely to Tousen's dialogue you can here a slight british accent. Which is exactly what Blanc is.--Jack Cox 04:32, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

 * For the last fucking time, find a source. Seriously, pay attention to what you're being told. Read WP:RS. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 04:35, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

 * And I'm telling you if you actually watched the show you'd realize you can't find a source because the credits only have a certain set of actors on the show that appear at the end of every credit, because they cast never changes unless the ending theme song changes, JB Blanc's name does not appear in the credits, BUT he has pasted on his site that he has done work on this series in an unknown role and This is the role. I am almost 100% certain on this, so in all seriousness, you need to relax because a lot of people get miscredited on this show, In fact Soi Fong has only had two lines of dialogue and nobody knows who voices her until she gets a huge monologue so please relax.--Jack Cox 04:41, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Original research. Listen, because I'm getting tired of saying this, and repeating what others have told you. What you think is not a reliable source. Find a reliable source. None of this "oh it sounds like" or "I talked to him" crap. Find somewhere reliable that says, without a doubt, that said actor voices this character. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 04:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Looking these two people up on AnimeNewsNetwork - both have Bleach credits to their name, and NEITHER one appears to be Kaname Tousen. Blanc is listed as Makizo Aramaki, a minor 11th division shinigami (the one who took Orihime away before Ishida's fight with Mayuri) and as Arturo Plateado in the Bleach Game "Shattered Blades". Wittenberg is listed as Thug (episode 37). The correct voice actor appears to be David Rasner, who apart from Tousen also has other, unlisted credits.

Sorry, not sure how to work out links on this thing. But hopefully that clears things up a little? (talk) 03:44, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I'd suggest deleting this so that Jack Cox doesn't feel like a lying twat.It gives the talk page a unfriendly appearance. Lets all remember to go by verifiable sources and not personal opinion.--Licourtrix (talk) 09:20, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Isn't the above a verifiable source? Isn't ANN a reliable enough source to support the above? It even goes so far as to specifically mention the VERY minor roles that the above actors have been included with - if that detail doesn't cover it, what will? This was not my personal opinion, hence the links for those that wish to double check, and with all respect to Jack Cox, these links do seem to settle the matter. (talk) 11:26, 13 July 2008

"Fear of death"
As I mentioned in Gin Ichimaru's discussion, the use of the word "correctly" is pure opinion. The way it was worded in Tōsen's article was an even poorer example than Gin's. Tōsen siding with Aizen has nothing to do with whether or not he is a coward. He clearly stated why he chose to follow Aizen's path, believing it to be the one with least bloodshed. I reworded the sentence, but kept most of what it was saying intact. Talchum (talk) 06:18, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Eye Color
The most recent manga chapters have revealed Tousen to have no pupils, and thus no eye color. I believe this is worth mentioning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adroa (talk • contribs) 01:39, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

I'd delete this but first i want to point out that if you have no pupils then you have solid white eyes.--Licourtrix (talk) 09:17, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * A la Neji Hyuga and Byakugan. Like that, but without the accents around where the pupil would be. Not uncommon in anime characters, but the pic just shown isn't really big enough to draw conclusions. 70.138.167.143 (talk) 18:57, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Updating Kaname's Past
I would like another opinion on this, which is better? The left revision or the right revision --Numyht (talk) 21:33, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

More important than Grimmjow?
Is he really? Because it REALLY doesnt seem like it to me (i am only up to where it is in the english anime though, so does he get more important later on? (I would prefer not to have anything spoiled for me though) It just seems to me that Grimmjow is a major, evil, nonredeemable villain, while Kaname seems like a third in command, not much dialougue, and in fact, i believe hes not even evil (Isnt he being mind controlled by Aizen's Zanpakto?) So why was Grimmjows page deleted but not Kaname?
 * Kaname's is being moved, but you should probably read WP:NOTABILITY. Plot importance doesn't mean shit in terms of whether or not someone has an article. Kaname is immune to Aizen's zanpakuto because he's blind, as covered in both articles. Grimmjow is far from unredeemable, though. If anything, he's more likely to go with the protagonists, because Aizen treats him like shit, and near the end of the Hueco Mundo arc Grimmjow pretty much screws all connections with the Espada... won't spoil any of that for ya 70.138.167.143 (talk) 18:51, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Aviation in Singapore

Aviation in Singapore is a key component of the Singaporean economy. Besides currently the sixth busiest airport and the fourth busiest air cargo hub in Asia, the Singaporean aviation industry is also a significant aerospace maintenance, repair and overhaul centre.

The aviation industry is a significant contributor to the Singapore economy. In 2009, it contributed S$14.2 billion (5.4%) in direct and in-direct value-add to the Singaporean GDP. This included S$8.7 billion of direct contribution from the sector, S$3.1 billion through indirect contributions from the sector's supply chain and S$2.4 billion from consumer spending by employees of the aviation sector and its supply chain. 58,000 direct jobs were available in the industry, rising to 119,000 jobs if the entire supply chain is included. Out of the 58,000 direct jobs, aerospace manufacturing companies employed approximately 18,000 people, airline companies employed 15,000, while 24,000 worked in the airports and ground service companies. The sector also directly contributed S$1.5 billion in taxes in 2009.

Airlines registered in Singapore were also major contributors to the economy, employing over 15,000 in Singapore and providing a further 11,000 jobs in the supply chain in 2009. Overall, these airlines contribute over S$5.5 billion to the economy and supported 34,000 jobs in Singapore.

History
In 1937, the Wearne Brothers launched the first commercial air service between Singapore and Malaya. It was called Wearne Air Services. On 28 June 1937, a de Havilland Dragon Rapide aircraft, the Governor Raffles, took off from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur and Penang. It was the inaugural commercial air service between these three cities by Wearnes Air Services. The WAS services ceased with the onset of World War II Japanese occupation of Malaya and Singapore. After the war, the air service was not continued.

Malayan Airways Limited (MAL) was established on 1 May 1947, by the Ocean Steamship Company of Liverpool, the Straits Steamship Company of Singapore and Imperial Airways. The airline's first flight was a chartered flight from the British Straits Settlement of Singapore to Kuala Lumpur on 2 April 1947 using an Airspeed Consul twin-engined aeroplane. Regular weekly scheduled flights quickly followed from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Penang from 1 May 1947 with the same aircraft type. The airline continued to expand during the rest of the 1940s and 1950s, as other British Commonwealth airlines (such as BOAC and Qantas Empire Airways) provided technical assistance, as well as assistance in joining IATA. By 1955, Malayan Airways' fleet had grown to include a large number of Douglas DC-3s, and went public in 1957. Other aircraft operated in the first two decades included the Douglas C-54 Skymaster, the Vickers Viscount, the Lockheed 1049 Super Constellation, the Bristol Britannia, de Havilland Comet 4 and the Fokker F27. In 1957, the airline became a state-run stock corporation.

When Malaya, Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak formed the Federation of Malaysia in 1963, the airline's name was changed, from "Malayan Airways" to "Malaysian Airways". MAL also took over Borneo Airways. In 1966, following Singapore's separation from the federation, the airline's name was changed again, to Malaysia-Singapore Airlines (MSA). The next year saw a rapid expansion in the airline's fleet and route, including the purchase of MSA's first Boeing aircraft, the Boeing 707s, as well the completion of a new high-rise headquarters in Singapore. Boeing 737s were added to the fleet soon after.

MSA ceased operations in 1972, when political disagreements between Singapore and Malaysia resulted in the formation of two entities: Singapore Airlines and Malaysian Airlines System. Singapore Airlines kept all 10 of MSA's Boeing 707s and 737s, retained the international routes out of Singapore as well as the existing corporate headquarters in the city, with J.Y. Pillay, former joint chief of MSA as its first chairperson. Female flight attendants continued to wear the sarong kebaya uniform, which had been first introduced in 1968. A local start-up advertising company, Batey Ads, was given the right to market the airline, eventually selecting the sarong and kebaya-clad air stewardesses as an icon for the airline and calling them Singapore Girls.

Market
As a result of an almost non-existent domestic market, Singapore has to place immediate emphasis on opening up the international market for its own airlines, as well as to allow foreign airlines to establish operations there. Singapore has Air Services Agreements with over 90 countries and territories, and has the most liberal aviation policy in Southeast Asia It has been an active advocate of open skies, and has concluded over 30 Open Skies Agreements, 18 of which are in the European Union, two in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, five out of six members of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, two in the Union of South American Nations and four members of the Pacific Islands Forum.

On 9 June 2006, it became the first Asian country to conclude a "horizontal" aviation agreement with the European Union. On 2 October 2007, Singapore became the second country to be allowed cabotage rights within the United Kingdom in a fully liberal aviation agreement. Singapore was also the first Asian country to conclude an Open Skies Agreement with the United States in 1997, and has significant liberal agreements with the United Arab Emirates.

Air service rights between Singapore-based carriers are allocated by the Air Traffic Rights Committee, established on 3 October 2003 in reaction to the awarding of multiple Air Operators Certificates in Singapore. The ATRC allocates air rights with a five-year validity. Unused rights for periods exceeding six months rights awarded but subsequently unable to meet pre-determined performance criteria will be returned to the pool for reallocation. Incumbent Singapore Airlines and its subsidiary airlines were allowed to retain all of their existing rights up to 2013, after which they will also carry a five-year validity and be subjected to the "use-it-or-lose-it" principle.

Open skies agreements
Singapore has attempted to conclude an open skies agreement with Australia since 1996, but was met with numerous obstacles. There are similar hurdles trying to conclude OSAs with other countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines, mostly due to protectionist stances and a fear that it will not be a balanced agreement.

Air service agreements
Figures in brackets refer to maximum frequencies per week.

There was much difficulties in attempts to open up the Singapore-Malaysia sector, until 2008.

Low-cost travel
Partly in response from competition from AirAsia based in neighbouring Malaysia, Singapore-based low-cost airlines only began to operate from the year 2004 when Valuair launched its maiden flight on 5 May 2004. In rapid succession, two of the largest airlines operating out of Singapore Changi Airport began operating their competing carriers, namely Singapore Airlines' Tiger Airways and Qantas' Jetstar Asia Airways, who began commercial flights on 15 September 2004 and 25 November 2004 respectively. A planned Singapore-affiliated airline by AirAsia was scuttled when it failed to obtain an air operator's certificate from the Singaporean authorities, possibly in retaliation to the Indonesian ban on all new low-cost flights into the country by non-Indonesian carriers.

The physical size of Singapore meant practically all low-cost air routes have to be international in nature, imposing greater risks on the airlines with the greater dependence on aviation negotiations between Singapore and its markets. With relatively limited air rights on offer in the Southeast Asian region, the three airlines had to contend with flying to a select number of destinations where air rights are available, resulting in intense, direct competition on specific routes. The Singapore-Bangkok sector, for example, saw all three Singapore-based carriers, as well as AirAsia flying the route prior to market consolidation. The airlines were able to take advantage of subsequent liberation of air rights between Singapore, Brunei and Thailand in late 2004, although key destinations such as Kuala Lumpur remain closed to all low-cost airlines.

With soaring fuel prices, limited markets, and the impact from the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, the low-cost aviation industry went into a consolidation phase, with Valuair, the only low-cost airline without a major stakeholder, becoming the first casualty when it was merged with Jetstar Asia Airways on 24 July 2005. The airline was still operated like a separate airline, however, due to regulatory restrictions on its flights to Indonesia, where Jetstar Asia had no access after the Indonesian ban.

The fiscal fortunes of the two remaining players began to diverge, however, when it became apparent that Jetstar Asia was struggling, while Tiger Airways was doing relatively well.

Keen interest by low-cost carriers to serve the highly protected Singapore-Kuala Lumpur market was one of the primary reasons in bringing forward a partial liberation of the route despite possible business impact particular on Malaysia Airlines. Both countries inked an agreement on 23 November 2007 to allow up to two flights a day for low-cost carriers from each country from 1 February 2008. The route will be fully liberalised on 1 December 2008, with a possibility of opening up other routes between Singapore and secondary Malaysian cities in planned meetings in early 2008.

Corporate aviation
Based out of Seletar Airport (WSSL), Singapore provides the South East Asian hub for corporate aircraft sales and servicing. Although presently limited by runway length for operations of ultra-long range aircraft, Seletar offers corporate aircraft owners limited access to Singapore and to manufacturer approved service centres, such as Jet Aviation (for Gulfstream Aerospace, Bombardier and Cessna) and Hawker Pacific (Hawker Beechcraft and Dassault Falcon). Seletar airport is open 24 hours a day.

Seletar is also the home base for several smaller charter aircraft operations serving regional corporate travel and aeromedical evacuations as well as charter brokers such as Singapore Aviation and aviation consultancies specialising in regional aircraft ownership and operation Asian Corporate Aviation Management Asia Corporate Jet.

In September 2017, Zetta Jet USA, Inc., an affiliate of Singapore-based Zetta Jet, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Los Angeles, California. The company has been focused on long-haul, luxury air charter.

Airport security
Security for the country's three international passenger airports comes under the purview of the Airport Police Division of the Singapore Police Force, although resources are concentrated at Singapore Changi Airport where scheduled passenger traffic dominates. Seletar Airport, which specialises in handling non-scheduled and training flights, is seen as posing less of a security issue. Since the September 11, 2001 attacks, and the naming of Changi Airport as a terrorism target by the Jemaah Islamiyah, the airport's security has been stepped up. Roving patrol teams composed of two soldiers and a police officer armed with machine guns patrol the terminals at random.

Assisting the state organisations, are the security services provided by the ground handlers, namely that of the Singapore Airport Terminal Services's SATS Security Services, and the Aetos Security Management Private Limited, formed from a merger of the Changi International Airport Services's airport security unit and that of other companies to become a single island-wide auxiliary police company. These officers man check-in counters to screen luggage, control movements into restricted areas, and so forth.

Since 2005, an upgrade in screening technology and rising security concerns led to all luggage-screening processes to be conducted behind closed-doors. Plans are also in place to install over 400 cameras around the airport to monitor passenger activity around the clock and to check on suspicious parcels and activity to prevent bomb attacks similar to the 2005 Songkhla bombings in Southern Thailand where Hat Yai International Airport was targeted. Tenders to incorporate such a system was called in late September 2005.

84.133.49.66, looks like nice work. Why not go ahead and sign up for an account? Ëvilphoenix Burn! 15:32, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Stadtteil
I'm cleaning up and editing the translation. I'm going to follow the example of Boroughs of Berlin and use "borough" to translate Stadtteil. Normally I use "neighborhood" for that, but the Stadtteile of Salzgitter are more than just neighborhoods; they used to be separate towns. --Angr/undefined 08:19, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I think there's a mistake in the article because "municipality" is used for two different meanings: 1) the smallest order of a settlement, a Stadtteil, which can be a village or comprise thousands and ten thousands of inhabitans. Translating this is very difficult, Angr has suggested "borough", I've seen "quarter" somewhere. I can't say what is the best word. 2) A Gemeinde, which is the next higher order and includes several Ortsteile (at least two), which are the same as Stadtteile in a city. Gemeinden and cities are on the same administrative level, both having a district (Landkreis) above (an exeption are the Independent Cities such as Salzgitter, larger cities of the extension of a district). I know that sounds complicated (it is if you go to vote on elections)...

 * Personnally, I recommend to use "municipality" only for Gemeinde (if it is appriote for this) and find another translation for Stadtteile. Wikitom2 18:42, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Gordon Bell (QNX)

Gordon Bell is a Canadian software developer and entrepreneur. He is one of the co-creators of the QNX microkernel real-time operating system.

QNX
Bell and Dan Dodge began the project while students at the University of Waterloo in 1980. Bell and Dodge incorporated Quantum Software Systems in the Ottawa suburb of Kanata, Ontario to develop and sell the operating system, originally called QUNIX. AT&T requested the name be changed to avoid encroaching on their UNIX trademark, so QUNIX was renamed QNX. The company name was later changed to QNX Software Systems. The first commercial version of QNX was released for the Intel 8088 central processing unit (CPU) in 1982.

In 2002, Bell and Dodge were acclaimed as Heroes of Manufacturing by Fortune magazine.

Caspar Stoll

Caspar Stoll (Hesse-Kassel, probably between 1725 and 1730 – Amsterdam, December 1791) was a naturalist and entomologist, best known for the completion of De Uitlandsche Kapellen, a work on butterflies begun by Pieter Cramer. He also published several works of his own on other insect groups. Stoll's 1787 publication on stick insects, mantises, and their relatives is also well known. It was translated into French in 1813.

Life
Aside from official records, few biographical details are known. Caspar Stoll was born in Hesse-Kassel but lived most of his life in The Hague and Amsterdam. In the latter, he worked as a functionary (either a clerk or a porter) at the Admiralty of Amsterdam He married his first wife, Maria Sardijn, on 18 January 1761, they married in a church in Scheveningen. Her brother was a tax collector and a notary. Stoll appears to have worked for a notary as well: several times he put his signature as a witness.

They had four children baptised in The Hague. The godfather of the two boys was twice William V of Orange-Nassau and once baron Rengers. Before 1769 Stoll moved to Amsterdam. The couple lived on Haarlemmerdijk near Prinsengracht in a house he finally bought in 1778, and close to Jan Christiaan Sepp, who published some of his works. In Amsterdam, again four children were born. In 1772 two children died within a few months.

After the death of his first wife, in June 1786, he married Anna Elizabeth Kaal, originally from Hamburg. Her brothers lived in the area nearby. They married with a settlement on 21 October 1791, after having a baby, born a few months before. Stoll was working hard to finish his handwritten copies. On 22 December 1791, Stoll had made up his will. Before the end of the year he died. On 2 January 1792, Stoll was buried in the Noorderkerk in the morning. With Anna Elizabeth, he had another child, a son, born after his death. Precisely a year after his death, Anna Elizabeth, a member of the Lutheran church, married A.R. van Weylik, a burgomaster of Edam.

Stoll became involved with Pieter Cramer's De Uitlandsche Kapellen before 1774. He took over the entire work after the death of Cramer, on 26 September 1776. The first four volumes were finished in 1782 but Stoll kept working, at a much slower pace, caused by the lack of new material as he himself explained, on the supplement (Aanhangsel), which was finally finished in 1791. Stoll mentioned that all the butterflies were collected in the Dutch colonies, like Surinam, Ceylon, Java, Ambon and Sierra Leone. The work was completed "without losing sight of the all-powerful hand of the Creator". In the 18th century, this was a sort of automatism, to safeguard a book from being banned or burned.

While working on the supplement, he also worked on other insect groups, of which he was able to publish a volume on cicadas, one on heteroptera and finally a volume on mantises and related insects: Natuurlyke en naar 't leeven naauwkeurig gekleurde afbeeldingen en beschryvingen der spooken etc..

On the title page of this and other works, Stoll mentioned he was a member of the "Natuuronderzoekend Genoodschap te Halle".

Works

 * With Pieter Cramer De Uitlandsche Kapellen, ([1775-] 1779-1782 [-1791]), Amsterdam. It consists of 34 issues in four volumes with 400 drawings accompanied with descriptions of butterflies. Cramer, a member of the literary and patriotic society Concordia et Libertate, dedicated the work to the members of the society. He died before the publication of the first volume was completed. Stoll took over the entire responsibility for the project, also producing a supplement.

 * De Uitlandsche Kapellen is a key work in the history of entomology. Accurately illustrated with hand-coloured engravings this was the first book on exotic Lepidoptera to use the new system by Carl Linnaeus for naming and classifying animals. Over 1,658 butterfly species are described, many named and illustrated for the first time. Gerrit Wartenaar is identified as the painter. The original paintings are in the Natural History Museum, London.

Packaging gas

A packaging gas is used to pack sensitive materials such as food into a modified atmosphere environment. The gas used is usually inert, or of a nature that protects the integrity of the packaged goods, inhibiting unwanted chemical reactions such as food spoilage or oxidation. Some may also serve as a propellant for aerosol sprays like cans of whipped cream. For packaging food, the use of various gases is approved by regulatory organisations.

Their E numbers are included in the following lists in parentheses.

Inert gases
These gas types do not cause a chemical change to the substance that they protect.
 * argon (E938), used for canned products
 * helium (E939), used for canned products
 * nitrogen (E941), also propellant
 * carbon dioxide (E290), also propellant

Propellant gases
Specific kinds of packaging gases are aerosol propellants. These process and assist the ejection of the product from its container.
 * chlorofluorocarbons known as CFC (E940 and E945), now rarely used because of the damage that they do to the ozone layer:
 * dichlorodifluoromethane (E940)
 * chloropentafluoroethane (E945)
 * nitrous oxide (E942), used for aerosol whipped cream canisters (see Nitrous oxide: Aerosol propellant)
 * octafluorocyclobutane (E946)

Reactive gases
These must be used with caution as they may have adverse effects when exposed to certain chemicals. They will cause oxidisation or contamination to certain types of materials.
 * oxygen (E948), used e.g. for packaging of vegetables
 * hydrogen (E949)

Volatile gases
Hydrocarbon gases approved for use with food need to be used with extreme caution as they are highly combustible, when combined with oxygen they burn very rapidly and may cause explosions in confined spaces. Special precautions must be taken when transporting these gases.
 * butane (E943a)
 * isobutane (E943b)
 * propane (E944)

Are you there, Moriarty?

Are you there Moriarty? is a parlour game in which two players at a time participate in a duel of sorts. Each player is blindfolded and given a rolled up newspaper (or anything that comes handy and is not likely to injure) to use as a weapon. The players then lie on their fronts head to head with about three feet (one metre) of space between them – or in other versions hold outstretched hands, or stand holding hands as in a handshake. The starting player says "Are you there Moriarty?". The other player, when ready, says "Yes". At this point the start player attempts to hit the other player with their newspaper by swinging it over their head. The other player then attempts to hit the starting player with their newspaper. The first player to be hit is eliminated from the game and another player takes their place. The objective of the game is to remain in the game as long as possible.

There is a certain element of tactics to the game. In order to avoid being hit, each player may roll to one side or the other. The decision of which direction to roll, or whether to roll at all often determines whether the player is hit by his opponent. A player who can quickly roll out of the way after speaking or striking will have a definite advantage in the game. However, like most parlour games, the appeal of this game largely lies in its spectacle and humor rather than its strategy.

Media
The playing of this game is depicted in the David Nicholls novel One Day, also in the 2011 movie and the Netflix limited series of the same title, both based on the book. Are you there, Moriarty? was played as a round of the QI series N Christmas special.

Path integration

Path integration is the method thought to be used by animals for dead reckoning.

History
Charles Darwin first postulated an inertially-based navigation system in animals in 1873. Studies beginning in the middle of the 20th century confirmed that animals could return directly to a starting point, such as a nest, in the absence of vision and having taken a circuitous outwards journey. This shows that they can use cues to track distance and direction in order to estimate their position, and hence how to get home. This process was named path integration to capture the concept of continuous integration of movement cues over the journey. Manipulation of inertial cues confirmed that at least one of these movement (or idiothetic) cues is information from the vestibular organs, which detect movement in the three dimensions. Other cues probably include proprioception (information from muscles and joints about limb position), motor efference (information from the motor system telling the rest of the brain what movements were commanded and executed), and optic flow (information from the visual system signaling how fast the visual world is moving past the eyes). Together, these sources of information can tell the animal which direction it is moving, at what speed, and for how long. In addition, sensitivity to the Earth's magnetic field for underground animals (e.g., mole rat) can give path integration.

Mechanism
Studies in arthropods, most notably in the Sahara desert ant (Cataglyphis bicolor), reveal the existence of highly effective path integration mechanisms that depend on determination of directional heading (by polarized light or sun position) and distance computations (by monitoring leg movement or optical flow).

In mammals, three important discoveries shed light on this.

The first, in the early 1970s, is that neurons in the hippocampal formation, called place cells, respond to the position of the animal.

The second, in the early 1990s, is that neurons in neighboring regions (including anterior thalamus and post-subiculum), called head direction cells, respond to the head direction of the animal. This enables a much more fine-grained study of path integration since it is possible to manipulate movement information and see how place and head direction cells respond (a much simpler procedure than training an animal, which is very slow).

The third finding was that neurons in the dorso-medial entorhinal cortex, which feeds information to the place cells in the hippocampus, fire in a metrically regular way across the whole surface of a given environment. The activity patterns of these grid cells looks very much like a hexagonally organized sheet of graph paper, and suggest a possible metric system that place cells can use to compute distances. Whether place and grid cells actually compute a path integration signal remains to be seen, but computational models exist suggesting this is plausible. Certainly, brain damage to these regions seems to impair the ability of animals to path integrate.

David Redish states that "The carefully controlled experiments of Mittelstaedt and Mittelstaedt (1980) and Etienne (1987) have demonstrated conclusively that this ability [path integration in mammals] is a consequence of integrating internal cues from vestibular signals and motor efferent copy".

FM 99.00 Dub Manifest

FM 99.00 Dub Manifest is a studio album from Basque artist Fermin Muguruza. It was released in 2000 and produced by Esan Ozenki.

Muguruza doesn't belong to any musical genre in particular but some punk, ska, jazz, jungle and funk influences can be found. Most songs contain political themes, with some promoting internationalism and social justice. Gizon Armatuak is about death squads in Central American countries, Big Benat denounces globalisation and uniformisation, while in Mendebaldarketa Muguruza laments on the situation of immigrants. In Diru Espainol Zikina he ridicules the appearance of murderous historical figures such as Hernán Cortés, Pizarro and Christopher Columbus on paper money, arguing it represents the arrogance and imperialism of the Spanish government.

College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) is the regulatory college for medical doctors in Ontario, Canada. The College is currently facing prosecution for abuse of power during the COVID pandemic.

The college issues certificates of registration for all doctors to allow them to practise medicine as well as: monitors and maintains standards of practice via assessment and remediation, investigates complaints against doctors, and disciplines those found guilty of professional misconduct and/or incompetence.

The CPSO's power is derived from Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA), Health Professions Procedural Code under RHPA and the Medicine Act. The college is based in Toronto.

In October 2008, the college was named one of "Canada's Top 100 Employers" by Mediacorp Canada Inc., and was featured in Maclean's newsmagazine. Later that month, the college was also named one of Greater Toronto's Top Employers, which was announced by the Toronto Star newspaper.

Structure and mission
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) is the self-regulating body for the province's medical profession. The college regulates the practice of medicine to protect and serve the public interest. It issues certificates of registration to doctors to allow them to practise medicine, monitors and maintains standards of practice through peer assessment and remediation, investigates complaints against doctors on behalf of the public, and disciplines doctors who may have committed an act of professional misconduct or incompetence.

The medical profession has been granted a great degree of authority by provincial law, and that authority is exercised through the college. This system of self-regulation is based on the premise that the college must act first and foremost in the interest of the public. All doctors in Ontario must be members of the college in order to practise medicine in the province. The role of the college, as well as its authority and powers, are set out in the Regulated Health Professions Act 1991 (RHPA), the Health Professions Procedural Code under the RHPA and the Medicine Act 1991.

The duties of the college include: issuing certificates of registration to doctors to allow them to practise medicine monitoring and maintaining standards of practice through peer assessment and remediation investigating complaints about doctors on behalf of the public, and conducting discipline hearings when doctors may have committed an act of professional misconduct or incompetence.

In December 2023 the CPSO Council approved a set of governance modernisation initiatives to be effected through by-laws. These included changing the name of the CPSO Council to the Board of Governors (see below). However, this change is cosmetic only as the composition of the CPSO Council / Board of Governors is determined by the Medicine Act 1991.

Board of Directors
The college is governed by a Board of Directors, formerly known as the College Council. The Medicine Act 1991 stipulates that it shall be composed of:

(a)	at least 15 and no more than 16 persons who are members elected in accordance with the by-laws; (b)	at least thirteen and no more than fifteen persons appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council who are not, (i)	 members, (ii) members of a College as defined in the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991, or	(iii) members of a Council as defined in the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991; and (c)	three persons selected, in accordance with a by-law made under section 12.1, from among members who are members of a faculty of medicine of a university in Ontario. The College President is elected from and by the Board and serves a one-year term.

Board members sit on one or more committees of the college. Each committee has specific functions, most of which are governed by provincial legislation.

Board meetings are held four times a year, at which time the activities of the college are reviewed and matters of general policy are debated and voted on. Meetings of the Board are no longer open to the public in person but are live streamed on YouTube and may be observed by the public virtually.

The current composition of the Board of Directors is published on the CPSO website.

Complaints process
A complaint to the CPSO about a physician may be initiated online or by telephone. Details are published on the CPSO "Complaints and Concerns" page. Before calling the CPSO to file a complaint, the CPSO encourages patients to try to resolve the issue with their physician first, where appropriate.

COVID-19
On March 24, 2020, the CPSO Executive Council met to discuss the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Council business. The Council declared an emergency under CPSO's Declared Emergency ByLaw and directed to extend the Council Elections for Districts 5 and 10 which were originally scheduled to be held on June 9, 2020. By May 2020, the CPSO noted they were anticipating a high volume of complaints against senior public health officials, and many related to public health measures and delays in cancer surgeries, mammograms and the like.

On April 30, 2021, the CPSO released a statement on “Public Health Misinformation” accusing Ontario doctors of “using social media to spread blatant misinformation and undermine public health measures.” In response, a group of Canadian physicians released a declaration titled the “Declaration of Canadian Physicians for Science and Truth”. They described the CPSO's statement as “unethical, anti-science and deeply disturbing.” As of August 25, 2022, there were 718 signatory physicians and 20,171 on behalf of concerned citizens.

The CPSO strongly encourages all eligible Ontarians to receive a COVID-19 vaccine or booster shot(s).

The CPSO followed up its “Public Health Misinformation” statement by starting disciplinary action against a number of physicians. As of 16 January 2024, 21 physicians have been disciplined, with sanctions including suspension or revocation of registration, undertaking with restrictions or “never reapply” undertaking. See chart for further details. 6 cases are still pending final resolution.

Cautions
Between 2007 and 2013 the college issued more than 1,000 "cautions" against practising doctors. Cautions are issued to doctors for transgressions that include providing inadequate treatment, poor record-keeping and raising voices in arguments. However, the college has been criticized in the past for not being transparent to patients as to which doctors have been subject to cautions, and for being more interested in protecting doctors than patients.

Block fees
Between 2004 and 2011 the college prosecuted four physicians for improperly charging block fees to patients. Block fees are annual fees charged by physicians to allow patients to access services. Physicians are permitted to charge block fees to uninsured patients for services not covered by OHIP, but charging block fees to allow insured patients to access OHIP services is considered to be professional misconduct.

The "Transparency Project"
In 2013, in response to some of the above criticisms, the college announced that it would begin its "Transparency Project". The goal of the Transparency Project would be to make it easier for patients to gain more information about doctors who have been accused of wrongdoing. The College Council gave its support to a transparency initiative that had four categories. One, an increase in the transparency of the transfer of patient medical records. Two, a proposal that the Notices of Hearing for the college's Discipline Proceedings be posted to a physician's profile on the public register. Third, a proposal that the status of discipline matters as they are proceeding be added to a physician's profile on the public register. Fourth, that reinstatement decisions in their entirety be posted to a physician's profile on the public register.

Complaint disposal times
In recent years the college has struggled to process an increasing volume of complaints about physicians. In 2007 it successfully lobbied the Ontario Ministry of Health to increase the time limit for disposal of complaints from 120 to 150 days, and to give itself increased powers to extend those time limits. These proposals were contained in amendments to the Regulated Health Professions Act 1991 which were passed by the Ontario Legislative Assembly in 2007 and came into force in 2009. The time taken to dispose of complaints continued to lengthen until the Ontario Ministry of Health commissioned a report, “Streamlining the Physician Complaints Process in Ontario” which reported in 2016 that “More time and money is spent on a disposition in Ontario than in other jurisdictions, with little apparent benefit to the public in terms of better or safer physician services”, “too many complaints and investigations are in the system too long”, and “the 150 day deadline is not met on many occasions”. Following this report, the college improved the efficiency of its complaints procedures, including routing suitable complaints via an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process, and disposal times are once again coming down.

"Never reapply" undertakings
A novel solution adopted by the college to the problem of delays in resolving complaints has been to make increasing use of "never reapply" undertakings. A "never reapply" undertaking is an undertaking made by a physician to surrender his or her licence and never reapply for another licence in Ontario or anywhere else in the world. In return, the college promises not to proceed with the complaint, the investigation is terminated and the file closed. These undertakings are probably legally unenforceable both inside and outside Ontario as they would amount to an unreasonable restraint of trade and they are rarely used by other medical regulatory authorities. In the past, such undertakings were only used in the most serious cases, for example sexual abuse of a patient, but they are increasingly being used by the college as a way of disposing of less serious or unspecified complaints. A disadvantage of these undertakings are that they remove physicians from practice who may be able and willing to continue practising but just wish to terminate the investigation.

This data was extracted from the CPSO online public register by a combination of electronic and manual searching. 330 physicians were identified who had given undertakings to the CPSO never to reapply for a licence either in Ontario alone, or Ontario plus anywhere else in the world.

In each case an attempt was made to identify why the undertaking was given, and the undertakings were allocated into four categories. "Sexual" indicates that there was an allegation of sexual misconduct, either proven or unproven, and involving either patients or co-workers. "Explicable" indicates that the reason for the undertaking was non-sexual, but there appeared to be some other good reason why it was appropriate, for example, gross incompetence, a serious criminal conviction, dishonesty, psychiatric incapacity or a repeated failure to remediate. "Inexplicable" forms the largest category and indicates either that the reason given was vague ("incompetence", "professional misconduct", "failure to uphold the standards of the profession" or similar) or that it appeared to be an inappropriately harsh penalty (overprescribing of opioids, for example, could be easily remedied by placing restrictions on the physician's licence).

The fourth category, appearing for the first time in 2022, is for COVID-19 related undertakings. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the CPSO has required physicians not to "disseminate false and misleading information" about COVID-19, which may include the physicians' personal opinions about mask wearing, vaccine safety and the effectiveness of certain COVID treatments. Several physicians have been disciplined for allegedly failing to comply with these guidelines, including five to date who have signed "never reapply" undertakings.

Proposed amendments to the Regulated Health Professions Act 1991
An application is being made to the Ontario Ministry of Health for amendments to the Regulated Health Professions Act 1991 to update the regulations and address some of the above issues.

As much as the governor may be disliked by the majority for his harsh actions, I don't think he should be labeled the most "wicked governor" especially not in his short bio.

 * I've added it to the encoding table, but I don't know anything of how it's used. --82.36.25.115 (talk) 02:03, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Turkish use of Ğ/ğ isn't entirely true. It is said in the article that ğ is between 2 vowels which is incorrect (i.e. "dağlar" meaning "mountains"). And also it isn't silent. The letter changes the tone. Alone it has remotely similar sound as french "r", but not as sharp. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.68.203.234 (talk) 11:16, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Unicode ü̆ vs. ǚ
"the breve cannot be used as a substitute [for the pinyin caron] in computer environments because Unicode does not provide an equivalent of ǚ with a breve"

That is false. Unicode does not include a ü-breve as a precomposed character, but it allows us to compose it: ü̆ Ü̆. (Not that I see why one should want to use the breve as a substitute for the caron.)

If there's no objection, I'd remove that whole sentence; I don't think it contributes anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.55.131.169 (talk) 01:59, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Latin script?
Ӂ (the equivalent of G before E or I in the Latin script)

I think this is rather unclear. Isn't this supposed to mean "G before E or I in English"? After all, how is a letter pronounced in a script?

 * When Moldovan is written in Latin letters, G has a soft form as in Italian. —Tamfang (talk) 06:32, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

ears

 * The traditional Cyrillic breve differs in shape and is thicker on the edges of the curve and thinner in the middle, compared to the Latin one. In Latin types, the shape looks like ears.

In Cyrillic it looks to me like Mickey Mouse ears; perhaps to you the Latin breve looks like some other kind of ear(s)? —Tamfang (talk) 06:34, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

I with breve or hacek?
The "Other Uses" section says "I-breve (Ǐ, ǐ) is used in the dialects of Crimean Tatar language spoken in Romania." but it shows a caron (hacek) instead. Is this actually a reference to I-caron that belongs in the Caron article, or is it a reference to a use of I-breve that needs the examples corrected? 173.11.109.149 (talk) 17:12, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Turkish

 * In Turkish, ğ lengthens the preceding vowel. It is thus placed between two vowels and is silent in standard Turkish ...

It is between vowels in Erdoğan, but not in –oğlu (which i believe is a patronymic suffix). Can the bolded phrase be removed? —Tamfang (talk) 03:00, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Dictionary respelling usage
It seems odd that this article entirely fails to mention the use of the breve in American dictionary pronunciation respelling to indicate vowel quality (mistakenly called "length" in school but bearing only historical connection to actual phonetic length). 128.30.10.65 (talk) 18:04, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

May Craig (journalist)

Elisabeth May Adams Craig (December 19, 1889 in Coosaw Mines, South Carolina – July 15, 1975 in Silver Spring, Maryland) was an American journalist best known for her reports on the Second World War, Korean War and U.S. politics. She was a member of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and was also a campaigner for equality in children's education.

Although May Craig was a Southerner, she got her break in journalism working for the Maine-based Guy Gannett chain of newspapers (including the Portland Press Herald). She became the company's Washington correspondent, and wrote her Inside Washington column for almost fifty years. She took on leadership roles within both the Women's National Press Club and Eleanor Roosevelt's Press Conference Association, both organisations supporting women in journalism.

During the Second World War, Craig secured a succession of postings to Europe. From this vantage point, she gave eyewitness accounts of the V-bomb attacks on London, the Battle of Normandy and the liberation of Paris. During the war, she constantly battled with the male military commanders and male journalists to have access to the news. One of her best-known quotations is a reference to facilities, the lack of which was often given as reason for not allowing Craig to follow up on the news. She joked that, "Bloody Mary of England once said that when she died they would find Calais graven on her heart" (in reference to a key French outpost lost during Mary's reign); "When I die, there will be the word facilities, so often it has been used to prevent me from doing what men reporters could do." May Craig married Donald A. Craig.

Craig was second in the number of appearances on "Meet the Press" behind David Broder. Craig always wore a hat and gloves on the program, according to her, "so that people would remember who she is."

Transcript of May Craig at a White-House press conference
This is a transcript of a press conference held by Franklin D. Roosevelt on December 9, 1941, at 4:10 p.m. It was the first American news conference of the war.

MISS MAY CRAIG: You've got a new system out there. (Referring to security at the entrance.)

THE PRESIDENT: What?

MISS MAY CRAIG: A new system out there. It's going to take a long time to get in.

THE PRESIDENT: What's that? What do you have to do? Have they frisked you? (Laughter)

MISS MAY CRAIG: Practically.

THE PRESIDENT: Now May, I don't think that's nice.

MISS MAY CRAIG: They did Fred Hale once.

THE PRESIDENT: I will have to hire a female Secret Service agent around here to do the frisking.

MISS MAY CRAIG: Remember the time they frisked Senator Hale at a reception?

THE PRESIDENT: Terribly funny.

MISS MAY CRAIG: He never got over it.

THE PRESIDENT: He never got over it.

MISS MAY CRAIG: The sacred Hale person.

THE PRESIDENT: He was here before you and I were born. (Pause here as newspapermen continue to file in.)

...

THE PRESIDENT: Well, the only thing I can think of is—on that—you know occasionally I have a few people in to dinner, and generally in the middle of dinner some—I know she isn't—it isn't an individual, it's just a generic term—some "sweet young thing" says, "Mr. President, couldn't you tell us about so and so?"

Well, the other night this "sweet young thing" in the middle of supper said, "Mr. President, couldn't you tell us about the bombing? Where did those planes start from and go to?" And I said, "Yes. I think the time has now come to tell you. They came from our new secret base at Shangri-La!" (Laughter)

And she believed it! (More laughter)

Q: Mr. President, is this the same young lady you talked about -- (Loud laughter interrupted)

THE PRESIDENT: No. This is a generic term. It happens to be a woman.

MISS MAY CRAIG: Is it always feminine? (Laughter)

THE PRESIDENT: What?

MISS MAY CRAIG: Is it always feminine? (Loud Laughter)

THE PRESIDENT: Now May, why did you ask me that?

MISS MAY CRAIG: I wondered.

THE PRESIDENT: I call it a "sweet young thing." Now when I talk about manpower that includes the women, and when I talk about a "sweet young thing," that includes young men. (Again loud laughter)

Date Tadamune

Date Tadamune (伊達忠宗) was an early Edo period Japanese samurai, and the 2nd daimyō of the 625,000 koku Sendai Domain in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan. He was the half-brother of Date Hidemune of Uwajima Domain.

Biography
Tadamune was born as Torakikumaru (虎菊丸) later Sōjirō (総次郎) the second son of Date Masamune. Although he was the second son, his elder half-brother Date Hidemune was born by Lady Iisaka, a concubine, and was thus not eligible to rule. At the age of seven, he was betrothed to Ichi-hime, the 5th daughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu; however, she died three years later, and he was betrothed again to the daughter of Ikeda Terumasa, who was also Ieyasu's grand-daughter. In 1611, shōgun Tokugawa Hidetada presided over his genpuku ceremony, and he received courtesy title was Mimasaka-no-kami, and Senior Fifth Rank, Lower Grade Court rank. He also received permission from the shōgun to use the Matsudaira surname as an honorific.

At the time of the 1614 Siege of Osaka, he accompanied his father in the train of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and it was by order of Ieyasu that Date Hidemune was ordered to establish an independent branch of the Date clan at Uwajima in Shikoku with a kokudaka of 100,000 koku, whereas Date Tadamune was confirmed as heir to the main Date line at Sendai.

Tadamune was elevated to Junior Fourth Rank, Lower Grade, and given the honorary title of chamberlain in 1616. In 1624, his courtesy title was changed to Echizen-no-kami, and changed again in 1626 to Sakonoe-gon-shōshō (General of the Left Guards).

On Masamune's death in June 1636, he became daimyō, and entered Aoba Castle in Sendai for the first time in August of the same year. He immediately took over the reins of government by replacing two of the six bugyōs, and re-establishing a multi-person system of magistrates and inspectors to provide more oversight and to eliminate corruption and arbitrary rule. He followed this the following year by publishing a new code of rules and regulations for the domain. In 1639, his courtesy title was changed to Mutsu-no-kami.

In terms of finances, from 1640 to 1643 he ordered a complete re-survey of the domain, bringing units of measurements in line with the nation-wide standards used by the Tokugawa shogunate. This was accompanied by large scale land reform. Tadamune also established a system whereby the domain purchased all rice produced in the domain, and reselling in Edo, paying the farmers in advance. This encouraged the opening of new rice lands.

During Tadamune's tenure, Sendai Castle was completed, and he sponsored the construction of numerous temples and shrines, including the Zuihōden in 1637 and the Sendai Tōshōgū in 1654.

On Tadamune's death on 12 July 1658, one of his senior retainers, Furuuchi Shigehiro, committed ritual suicide (junshi). Tadamune's sixth son Date Tsunamune became daimyō of Sendai.

Learning and Teaching Scotland

Learning and Teaching Scotland (LTS or LT Scotland) was a non-departmental public body of the Scottish Government, formed by the merger of the Scottish Consultative Council on the Curriculum (SCCC) and the Scottish Council for Educational Technology (SCET). It was the main organisation for the development and support of the Scottish curriculum, and was at the heart of developments in Scottish education until its merger with Her Majesty's Inspectorate for Education to form Education Scotland in 2011.

The role of LTS was to provide advice, support, resources and staff development to enhance the quality of learning and teaching in Scotland, combining expertise in the curriculum 3–18 with advice on the use of ICT in education.

History
LTS worked in close partnership with the Scottish Government, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education, the Scottish Qualifications Authority, the Association of Directors of Education in Scotland, the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities, education authorities, schools and with a range of professional associations, playing a key role in the drive to improve learning and teaching.

LTS provided support for people working in the Scottish state education system—including ministers, local authorities, school managers, teachers, and support staff—and was accountable to the Scottish Executive Education Department.

LTS operated the LT Scotland Online Service, the successor to the National Grid for Learning in Scotland. It also ran a professional development programme known as Masterclass, and a range of supported online communities of practice including Heads Together.

LTS managed Glow, a national intranet for schools and practitioners, offering a range of teaching, learning and collaborative tools across the Web, in a secure and fully authenticated way—bringing together more than 700,000 students, 50,000 teachers, all lecturers and students in initial teacher education and many others across the country.

LTS had been charged with leading the development of Scotland's 'Curriculum for Excellence' programme. The purpose of the programme is to improve the learning, attainment and achievement of children and young people in Scotland. It is also about ensuring that pupils achieve on a broad front, not just in terms of examinations.

LTS also led the innovative Assessment is for Learning programme in Scotland.

On 14 October 2010, Cabinet Secretary for Education Mike Russell announced that Learning and Teaching Scotland would be subsumed, along with Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education into a new body named the Scottish Education Quality and Improvement Agency. This was later renamed to Education Scotland.

Dan Dodge

Dan Dodge is a cocreator of the QNX microkernel real-time operating system, with Gordon Bell. They began the project while students at the University of Waterloo in 1980. Dodge then moved to Kanata, Ontario, a high-tech area inside Ottawa, to start Quantum Software Systems. It was later renamed QNX Software Systems to avoid confusion with a hard drive manufacturer. The first commercial version of QNX was released for the Intel 8088 central processing unit (CPU) in 1982.

In 1998, Dodge became the fourth awardee of the J. W. Graham Medal, named in honor of Wes Graham an early influential professor of computer science at the University of Waterloo, and annually awarded to an influential alumnus of the University's faculty of mathematics.

In 2002, Dodge and Bell were acclaimed as Heroes of Manufacturing by Fortune magazine.

Mr. Dodge holds a master's degree in mathematics and was the chief executive officer of QNX Software Systems, a division of BlackBerry Limited. In an earnings call on March 29, 2012, BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins stated "Dan Dodge is now [BlackBerry]'s lead software architect and is responsible for driving both the QNX business and the BlackBerry 10 platform vision."

Dan Dodge announced his retirement from QNX on 8 September 2015, effective at the end of the year. In late July 2016, it was reported that Dodge will join Apple at the company's new Kanata location, assisting with Apple's automotive team with Bob Mansfield. ]

Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad

The Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad was the second railroad to be built and operated in the U.S. state of Ohio (the Erie and Kalamazoo Railroad was first, beginning operations in Toledo during the Toledo War in 1836). It was also the first railroad company chartered west of the Allegheny Mountains.

History
The railroad first broke ground in Sandusky, for construction on September 17, 1835 at the site which is currently Battery Park Marina.

On November 17, 1837, the MR&LE took delivery of its first steam locomotive, Sandusky, built by Rogers, Ketchum and Grosvenor of Paterson, New Jersey. Sandusky was also the first locomotive built by Rogers, Ketchum and Grosvenor, and the first to include features such as cast iron driving wheels and counterweights. The locomotive's transportation from New Jersey was overseen by Thomas Hogg. He was engineer for the locomotive for many years, and later became the railroad's chief mechanical engineer.

The MR&LE used a rail gauge of, a gauge that soon became known as "Ohio gauge".

At the time of the Sandusky arrival, no track had been laid by the railroad. The locomotive was used to aid construction, and the first trains (passenger cars only) began running on the line on April 11, 1838, between Sandusky and Bellevue, Ohio.

Construction continued on the MR&LE, reaching Tiffin by 1841 and Kenton in 1846. The railroad was completed to Springfield in 1849. Over the next several decades, the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad changed ownership at least four times. In 1892, it came under the control of the Big Four Railroad (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, and St. Louis Railroad), which itself became part of the New York Central Railroad. Most of the original MR&LE lines were abandoned by Penn Central at the advent of Conrail in 1976, if not earlier. However, a portion between Bellefontaine and Springfield continues in operation by RailAmerica's Indiana and Ohio Central Railroad.

Although most of the MR&LE lines that once ran through downtown Sandusky have been removed, tracks serving the Norfolk Southern coal docks located west of downtown still use a small portion of the original MR&LE right-of-way.
