Uniface (programming language)

Uniface is a low-code development and deployment platform for enterprise applications that can run in a large range of runtime environments, including mobile, mainframe, web, Service-oriented architecture (SOA), Windows, Java EE, and .NET. Uniface is used to create mission-critical applications.

Uniface applications are platform-independent and database-independent. Uniface provides an integration framework that enables Uniface applications to integrate with all major DBMS products such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL and IBM Db2. In addition, Uniface also supports file systems such as RMS, Sequential files, operating-system text files and a wide range of other technologies, such as IBM mainframe-based products (CICS, IMS), web services, SMTP, POP email, LDAP directories, .NET, ActiveX, Component Object Model (COM), C(++) programs, and Java. Uniface operates under Microsoft Windows, various flavors of Unix, Linux, OpenVMS and IBM i.

Uniface can be used in complex systems that maintain enterprise data supporting business processes such as point-of-sale and web-based online shopping, financial transactions, salary administration, and inventory control. It is used by thousands of companies in more than 30 countries, with an effective installed base of millions of end-users. Uniface applications range from client/server to web, and from data entry to workflow, and portals that are accessed locally, via intranets and the internet.

Originally developed in the Netherlands by Inside Automation, later Uniface B.V., the product and company were acquired by Detroit-based Compuware Corp in 1994, and in 2014 was acquired by Marlin Equity Partners and continued as Uniface B.V. global headquartered in Amsterdam. In February 2021, Uniface was acquired by Rocket Software, headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, USA.

Uniface products
Uniface Development Environment is an integrated collection of tools for modeling, implementing, compiling, debugging, and distributing applications.

Uniface applications, including the above, use a common runtime infrastructure, consisting of:
 * Uniface Runtime Engine—a platform-specific process that interprets and executes compiled application components and libraries.
 * Uniface Router—a multi-threaded process responsible for inter-process communication (IPC) in Uniface applications. It starts and stops Uniface Server processes, performs load balancing, and passes messages between various Uniface processes.
 * Uniface Server—a server-based process that enables Uniface clients to access remote resources or to execute remote components. It acts as an application server, a data server, and a file server.
 * Uniface Repository—an SQL-capable DBMS used to store definitions and properties of development objects, process and organization models, and portal definitions.
 * Web server—Uniface bundles the Apache Tomcat Server for developing and testing web applications, but any web server can be used in a production environment.
 * Servlets—Java servlets that broker communication between a web server and the Uniface Server for Uniface web applications and web services.
 * Database connectors—drivers that handle the connection between Uniface and a variety of databases.
 * Integration tools—drivers, components, and APIs that handle communication between Uniface and third-party applications and technologies, including Java, CICS, IMS, LDAP, SMTP, POP, operating system commands, COM, and more.

In addition, Uniface Anywhere (formerly Uniface JTi or Java Thin Client Interface) can deliver client/server Uniface applications to any computer connected to the Internet as a thin client solution.

Uniface is a low-code development & deployment platform based on a proprietary procedural scripting (fourth generation) language called Uniface Proc that is used to code application behavior. Uniface automates most input/output operations through its kernel and default code, so much fundamental behavior does not need to be coded.

Uniface applications
Uniface applications are component-based, infrastructure-independent software programs that can create or use data stored in one or more databases or file systems. They can be composite applications that include non-Uniface components created using other development tools, and they can be deployed in distributed client/server and web environments, as mobile applications or web services, and in mainframe environments.

Uniface has various component types intended for use in different layers of multi-tier application architecture.

Components for the presentation tier are responsible for the user interface and include:
 * Forms—interactive screens for displaying and updating data in a client/server environment.
 * Server Pages—interactive pages for displaying and updating data in a web environment.
 * Reports—layouts for presenting data in a printed output.

Components for the business logic tier handle business rules and task-specific behavior and have no user interface:
 * Services—provide processing and business logic functionality when called by other components, either locally or remotely.
 * Session Services—centralize complex business rules affecting multiple data entities, such as task-specific behavior, transactions, and referential integrity.
 * Entity Services—centralize simple business rules for single data entities.

The data access tier contains physical database structures captured in the Uniface application model. Uniface ensures physical data access by encapsulating SQL in its DBMS connectors. Network and middleware access are encapsulated by the middleware drivers and the Uniface Router.

The runtime engine executes the application components. It displays presentation components using the appropriate user interface connector (either GUI or character-based) and sends and receives data via a DBMS connector.

Application development
Uniface applications are developed with the Uniface Development Environment. Originally, it was possible to develop on Apple and DEC platforms; now, Windows is the supported platform for development.

Uniface applications development is model-driven and component-based. The data structure, business rules, and default behavior of the application are captured in the Application Model. Model definitions can be reused and inherited by components, which can override inherited definitions and provide component-specific behavior and characteristics. Templates improve productivity and enforce consistency when defining models.

Application model
The application model defines entities (tables), fields, keys (indexes), and relationships together with referential integrity. Each entity and field in the model has properties and a set of triggers. Business rules are added to the model declaratively by setting properties and procedurally by adding Proc code (Uniface's procedural language) in triggers.

Triggers are containers for code. Some triggers represent user or system events, for example, Occurrence Gets Focus, Read or Leave Field. Others cover matters such as validation or act as placeholders for methods associated with the particular object.

The use of model-level triggers enables Uniface to collect properties and behavior within business objects, separating logical from physical data structures. It makes it possible to define default behavior once, for reuse throughout the application, speeding development and facilitating the 3-tier application architecture.

Each entity (table) is first defined in the Application Model from where it can be exported to the physical database in the form of CREATE TABLE scripts.

Components
Objects described in the application model are reused by components. Developers embed objects from the model on the component by drawing them on the layout canvas (for presentation components) or inserting them into a tree view of the component structure. They can also add component-level objects that are not in the application model, such as control fields, menus, and component variables.

The properties and triggers defined in the application model are inherited by being copied into the component. The definitions can be changed at the component level to provide specific functionality. This breaks the link between the application model and the component (although it is possible to restore the link to the model). If the model code or properties are changed at the model level, all components holding that object need only be recompiled to collect the new definitions. This provides benefits in maintenance and ensures that the rules associated with the object are available wherever it is used.

Uniface repository
Uniface maintains a database of its metadata for reuse—application models, component definitions, component layouts, procedural code, and so on. The repository is proprietary and intended for access via the Uniface Development Environment, to ensure repository integrity. However, the repository structure is documented, making it possible (though not recommended) to interface directly with it for, for example, reporting.

By using a centralized repository, application development can be shared over teams of software developers. Uniface can integrate with any version control system (VCS) that supports the Microsoft Common Source Code Control Interface Specification. The VCS functionality available within Uniface depends on the VCS used because software vendors have interpreted and implemented the MS CSCC API differently.

Application deployment
Uniface applications can be deployed on platforms from mainframe through mobile, without changing the code. The components (and other objects such as startup shells, menus, toolbars (panels), glyphs, global, and included Proc entries) are compiled into runtime objects that can be packaged into zip files and deployed onto any platform. The runtime objects are executed using a virtual machine and a platform-specific interpreter. (Java later followed Uniface in this respect). Components can be compiled on one machine and executed on another, provided the Uniface Virtual Machine is present.

The Uniface Router and Uniface Server make Uniface scalable and make it possible to run processes asynchronously.

Database connectivity
Uniface accesses the many databases and file systems it supports using database connectors (or drivers). DBMS connectors map and convert Uniface data types to the most suitable format of the particular storage medium. At runtime, it is possible to pass parameters to invoke (or disable) database-specific extensions. Provided the database connector is licensed, it is possible to convert between different data sources. Uniface also provides an API, the Database Connector Interface, which can be used to create proprietary connectors for any SQL-based database.

Licensing
Licensing is managed through the Compuware Distributed License Manager (DLM), a server-based system of distributing licenses to clients on request, precluding the need for them to be held locally.

History of Uniface
Originally called UNIS, the product was created in The Netherlands in 1984 by Inside Automation, a company that was headed by Bodo Douqué, with Frits Kress as Technical Director. By 1986, both the product and the company had changed their name to Uniface. (An early logo for the product included a red capital A which reflected the red capital A in the Inside Automation logo.)

Uniface was developed on the principles of the American National Standards Institute, (ANSI), 3-schema architecture. First proposed in 1975, this was a standard approach to the building of database management systems consisting of 3 schema (or metamodels):
 * Conceptual schema—definition of all the data items and relationships between them. There is only one conceptual schema per database. Uniface implements the conceptual schema as the Application Model (in various Uniface versions known as the Business Object Model and the Application Object Model).
 * External schema—different external (user) views of the data. There can be many external schemas for a database. Uniface implements external schemas as components. During Uniface's evolution, the External Schema became forms; hidden forms, which ran in the background without displaying to the user, became services; services split into session services for objects of the business tier and entity services that may be either business or data tier. Forms that were printed instead of being displayed became report components. The server page (USP) was introduced for web development, and later the dynamic server page was introduced to support Web 2.0 functionality.
 * Internal schema—definition of the physical representation of the stored data. Uniface leaves the internal schema to the many relational database systems to which it could be connected, enabling it to be database-independent.

Uniface was developed on the DEC VAX machine, using the native VAX file-management system RMS. A vestige of this is still seen in today's product by its continued use of a “GOLD” key to change modes (DEC VT terminals had a gold or a yellow key on the keyboard. Today the “GOLD” is simply mapped to the numeric keyboard + key, or a function key).

Early versions of the product were bundled with the Sybase RDBMS under the name FastBuild, although it was not limited to accessing only that database.

Uniface has continuously evolved to handle new technologies and application architectures. This has been critical to its success because applications built with Uniface can be migrated, updated, and modernized without losing the original development investment.

Uniface versions
Uniface Version 3 (1986): Uniface 3 was the first public release. It featured support for multiple databases (RMS, Oracle, C_ISAM, Ingres, and RDB); virtual machine interpretation; the Structure Editor, and the Uniface text and command editor.

Uniface Version 4 (1988): Uniface 4 improved the text editor (now form editor), improved printing and display support, introduced support for MS-DOS, and added a CASE tool interface.

Uniface Version 5 (1990): Uniface 5 enabled client/server deployment with the introduction of remote database access through Polyserver. It introduced a graphical user interface via the Universal Presentation Interface (UPI). Database support was extended to a total of 13 databases and file systems, and it was now available on DOS, VMS, OS/2, Stratus VOS, and UNIX. Japanese character support was also introduced.

Uniface Six (1994): Uniface Six completed the move to fully graphical development environments. It included the graphical form painter and application model editor; improved deployment through Dynamic Object Libraries; added support for Microsoft Object Linking and Embedding (OLE); included support for Apple Macintosh; added permissions control; integrated version control; added Personal Series reporting tools (although these were later removed when the 3rd party decided not to enhance its product); wider platform support.

Uniface Seven (1997): Uniface Seven focused on component integration for both Uniface and external components through the introduction of the Uniface Request Broker (URB) architecture. The URB supports bi-directional and synchronous or asynchronous communication between components. As well as remote data access, it added partitioned Application Servers and messaging. Uniface Seven also delivered the first Uniface web development and deployment tools with Web Application Server and Uniface Request Dispatcher.

Other enhancements included new component types (Services, Server Pages, Reports); Signature Editor and Assembly Workbench; subsystems; operations; non-modal forms; component instances; improved editors and navigation; enhanced editor plug-in; new debugger; integrated online help; component templates; Web Application Server; improved validation; Uniface Name Server and graphical partitioning manager.

Uniface Seven also saw the introduction of several other tools:
 * A tool for the modeling, integration, and management of business processes. This functionality became Optimal Flow under Uniface 8, then Uniface Flow under Uniface 9.
 * A business integration portal initially called Optimal View and later Uniface View
 * Uniface—a server-based, thin-client solution for delivering web-enabled applications over the Internet or Intranet, providing high performance in low-bandwidth connections.

Uniface 8 (2001): Uniface 8 brought about major changes in the area of process integration. The Uniface Router and Uniface Server provided scalable, balanced deployment. The Web Request Dispatcher (WRD) replaced the URD, improving performance. Support for web services, with SOAP and XML, was introduced. Connectivity and interoperability were improved and a method for implementing a 3-tier application architecture was introduced. Connectors for SOAP, COM, CORBA, and MQSeries were added; window and file management was improved; a new deployment utility was introduced, improving application distribution; component subtypes for 3-tier architecture were added; handles were added for component instances, and automatic garbage collection was added.

Uniface 9 (2006): The Uniface 9 release focused on GUI and usability improvements, thin deployment, and integration. Support for Windows Mobile was added, and configuration and deployment were simplified using zipped archives. Support for Unicode improved what was an already impressive multilingual capability, and improvements in web development and XML handling brought Uniface further into line with industry standards. Dynamic field movement in form components removed some old barriers to flexibility.

Other features included improved color handling, dynamic menus, an XML API, a diagram editor for the Application Model; cross-referencing functionality to support refactoring and deployment, and enhanced web services functionality.

Uniface 9.4 (2010): Despite being a point release, Uniface 9.4 introduced enough major new functionality to be considered a major release. The major focus was on rich internet application (RIA) functionality, making it possible to develop Web 2.0 applications with the rich functionality of client/server applications using the same tools and methodologies used to develop classic client/server applications. Language and locale support was substantially improved, as was support for HTML email, and security and encryption.

Uniface 9.5 (2011): The release of Uniface 9.5 has improved the product's integration with the World Wide Web. The introduction of a JavaScript API, together with other improvements, means that client-side processing can bring benefits in the areas of performance, integration, functionality, and user-friendliness. The session management capability has been extended to offer improved security. And the processing of Web Services now fully supports complex datatypes for both SOAP and RESTful services. There have also been improvements for those customers who have business-critical client/server applications, particularly in the area of the grid widget.

Uniface 9.6 (2012): Uniface 9.6, provided a significant overhaul of the Uniface client-server GUI capabilities. Functionality included an HTML5 control leveraging the JavaScript APIs originally delivered for the web, an enhanced tab control, and updates to image handling, buttons plus other improvements. The form container control enables 'forms within forms', enabling the development of dynamic user experiences.

In addition to the GUI enhancements, Uniface 9.6 also delivered enhancements to the Uniface Web and Web Services capabilities, including the ability to dynamically change the scope of web transactions, web pagination, and hitlist processing and improved WSDL and XML capabilities.

Uniface 9.7 (2015): Uniface 9.7 delivered significant enhancements to the development of Web Applications, including extensions to facilitate the development and deployment of mobile applications based on hybrid applications and enhancing the multi-channel development/deployment capability of Uniface. This will be significantly extended with the Uniface 9.7.02 release (May 2016), providing integration to a build service provider to enable hybrid applications to be packaged for distribution via Google Play and the Apple Store.

In addition to the mobile and web enhancements, Uniface 9.7 delivered integration and client-server enhancements (MS Windows 10).

The Uniface Development Environment (UDE) was modernized, with a new look and feel, providing a new look front screen, and a refreshed visual user experience. The approach that Uniface took to modernize their UDE was shared both at developer conferences and on their community website Uniface.info to help advise and promote client-server modernization to their existing customer base.

Uniface 9.7 provides two new database drivers, enabling connectivity to PostgreSQL and SAP Hana.

Uniface 10 (2015): Uniface 10 delivered a rewritten development environment based on the core concepts of Integrated Development Environments (IDE). The initial release positioned as a preview or early adopter release showed a significant change from a proprietary development style to a highly productive implementation of industry-standard development, enabling the development of Web applications.

In May 2015, the first edition of Uniface 10 was released to early adopters to test and develop web applications. The full enterprise edition of Uniface 10 was released in September 2016, delivering mobile and client-server development and a migration path to enable the existing customer base to move their applications to Uniface 10.

Rocket Uniface 10.4 (2021) Uniface 10.4 uses Sentinel License Manager which enables users to better manage their licenses. It has enhancements of the Rocket Uniface Router Monitor, API for TLS, and Repository updates for IDE. It is a 64-bit Development Environment, upgraded to Tomcat 9. OpenSSL and CURL Libraries have been updated and the OpenSSL executable is now delivered with Uniface on Windows. Also, a new SLE 2.0 connector for SQLite was added.

Alice Hegan Rice

Alice Hegan Rice, also known as Alice Caldwell Hegan, (January 11, 1870 – February 10, 1942) was an American novelist. Her 1901 novel Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch became a play and four films.

Biography
Alice Caldwell Hegan was born on January 11, 1870, in Shelbyville, Kentucky, to Samuel Watson Hegan and Sallie P. Hegan. As a child, she would entertain her family members with creative stories that she came up with on the spot. When she was in school, writing was her strongest subject. She had a submission that was published by the newspaper at the age of 15.

Rice had a relatively privileged upbringing, but her views on life changed when she went to a mission for Sunday School that was in a slum in Louisville called the "Cabbage Patch". The mission was interrupted by a group of troublesome boys, but luckily Rice was able to defuse the situation by enticing them with a story she just read. For the rest of the mission she continued to tell them crazy stories about gangsters and pirates. This experience introduced her to the world of poverty and the underprivileged. She would later use this new-found knowledge to influence her most widely known novel, Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.

Several of Rice's earlier works were translated into German, French, Danish, and Swedish, and three (Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, Mr. Opp, and A Romance of Billy-Goat Hill) were dramatized. Alice married Cale Young Rice, a poet and playwright, on December 18, 1902. They spent most of their life traveling the world and becoming known in the literary scenes of New York and London. She later became a part of a social movement that would help improve the working and living conditions of the poor, which would bring her to helping found the Cabbage Patch Settlement House in Louisville in 1910. After living a life full of helping and writing about others, she died on February 10, 1942, at her home in Louisville, Kentucky. She was buried in Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville.

Ministry of Colleges and Universities

The Ministry of Colleges and Universities is the ministry of the Government of Ontario responsible for administration of laws relating to post-secondary education. This ministry is one of two education ministries, the other being the Ministry of Education (responsible for primary and secondary schools across Ontario). The Ministry's offices are in downtown Toronto. The current minister is Jill Dunlop.

History
In May 1964, the Department of University Affairs Act was passed establishing the Department of University Affairs. The department was charged with administering the government's support programs for higher education, previously the responsibility of the Department of Education. Bill Davis, the inaugural minister, was the Minister of Education at the time and continued to hold the position after the department's establishment.

In addition to jurisdiction over higher education, the department also had financial jurisdiction over the Royal Ontario Museum, the Royal Botanical Gardens and the Art Gallery of Ontario. In October 1971, the department's size was doubled by the addition of the Applied Arts and Technology Branch of the Department of Education. In light of this expansion of functions, the name of the department was changed to the Department of Colleges and Universities.

It was renamed the Ministry of Colleges and Universities in 1972 as part of a government-wide restructuring. In 1975, various cultural programs and institutions of the ministry were transferred to the newly created Ministry of Culture and Recreation.

In 1985, a separate Ministry of Skills Development was created. In 1993, the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Skills Development were combined to form the Ministry of Education and Training.

In June 1999, the responsibilities for post-secondary education and skills development were again given to a standalone ministry, named the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. Briefly between 2016 and 2018, it was renamed the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development.

In October 2019, training and skills development was moved to the Ministry of Labour and the ministry was renamed the Ministry of Colleges and Universities.

Governance
The Minister of Colleges and Universities is a member of the Executive Council of Ontario (or cabinet) reporting to the Premier and held accountable by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. The deputy minister manages the operations of the ministry that includes five main divisions. As a whole, the ministry has responsibility for administration of laws relating to post-secondary education and skills training in Ontario. The divisions cover employment and training, post-secondary education, strategic policy and programs, corporate management and services, and French-language education and educational operations. The divisions report to the deputy minister who then reports to the minister. The ministry works with several external advisory bodies to assist in the governance of the higher education system in Ontario.

Function
In addition to being responsible for the administration of policies, laws, and funding relating to Ontario's 24 colleges and 22 universities, the Ministry of Colleges and Universities is also responsible for the registration of private career colleges as well as financial aid through the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP).

Ministry Agencies

 * Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario
 * Ontario Research Fund Advisory Board
 * Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board
 * Training Completion Assurance Fund Advisory Board

Rae Report, 2005
The Rae Report, officially titled Ontario: A Leader in Learning, called for deregulation of tuition fees, income-contingent loan repayments, and an increase in public funding.

Cricova (winery)

Cricova is a Moldovan winery, located in the town with the same name, 15 km north of Chişinău. Famous wine cellars make it a popular attraction for tourists.

Winery
The wine cellars of Cricova are the second largest wine cellar in Moldova, after Milestii Mici (the largest in the world). It boasts 120 km of labyrinthine roadways, versus MM's 200 km. Tunnels have existed under Cricova since the 15th century, when limestone was dug out to help build Chişinău. They were converted into an underground wine emporium in the 1950s.

Half of the roadways are used for wine storage. The roads are named by the wines they store. This "wine city" has its warehouses, tasting rooms, and other facilities underground. It goes down to 100 m below ground and holds 1.25 million bottles of rare wine. The oldest wine dates back to 1902. The temperature is maintained at about 12 C all year round (which is perfect for wine).

Legend has it that in 1966 cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin entered the cellars, re-emerging (with assistance) two days later. Russian president Vladimir Putin celebrated his 50th birthday here.

The territory used to be a mine for limestone, a building material. In some branches excavation is still active, so the cellar is still growing. Other famous wineries in Moldova include Cojuşna and Mileştii Mici.

The largest importer of Cricova wines is Kazakhstan. Previously Russia was the main importer, however this changed in 2014 when Russia imposed embargoes on Moldovan wine in retaliation for Moldova making moves towards joining the European Union.

Wine production
Cricova produce sparkling wines in accordance with the classical French method, purportedly invented centuries ago by the monk Dom Pierre Perignon – "Methode Champenoise",

Cricova makes a unique sparkling red wine, kodrinskoie-sparkling, made from cabernet sauvignon stocks and marketed as having a 'rich velvet texture and a blackcurrant and cherry taste'.

The "Grand Cellars of Cricova" house a varied collection of wines, The National Oenotec. The unique exhibits ("Jerusalem of Easter" vintage 1902, the liqueur "Jan Becher" vintage 1902) together with other 158 brands from Burgundy, Moselle, Tokay, the Rhine, are in the collection of the establishment as well as of Moldova in general, comprising nowadays a total of about 1.3 million bottles. Among those are the trophies of the Second World War, which include wines from the collection of Hermann Göring. After the Soviets seized his private wine collection, a part of it was transferred to Crimea and the rest was brought to Cricova.

However, the pride of the Oenotec are, first of all, the wines bearing the name "Cricova", which brought the winery a collection of national and international tasting awards. As of 2008, the collection consists of over 70 silver, gold, and Grand Prix awards.

Talk:PANICS

Removal of material
Recent updates to this article has involved the deletion of major chunks of work that deal with the episodes of this series. I personally believe that since this is a Rooster Teeth Production, the write ups and descriptions of the series should follow the format that was established for Red Vs. Blue and Strangerhood. Though those series have a seperate page for episodes, they also have a longer list of episodes broken into yearly seasons. Since PANICS is a short mini-series, I think it's okay if we leave the episode write ups in the main article as there are only two more episodes left to this series, and we're not entirely sure we can get an episode 5 write-up b/c that episode will be on pre-ordered copies of F.E.A.R.. Rooster Teeth have not announced whether sponsers can view the video.

Another issue I had with the recent deletions were they weren't done tastefully nor did there seem to be any care given to making the whole article flow properly. Even when larger chunks of the previous versions were taken out, other portions were carelessly left intact, making the summarized version the series not flow at all. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LifeStar (talk • contribs).

College of Family Physicians of Canada

The College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC; Collège des médecins de famille du Canada, CMFC) is a professional association and the legal certifying body for the practice of family medicine in Canada. This national organization of family physicians was founded in 1954 and incorporated in 1968. Although membership is not mandatory to practice medicine, it currently numbers over 38,000 members. Members of the CFPC belong to the national College, as well as to their provincial or territorial chapters. The CFPC uses both English and French as official communication languages.

The CFPC establishes the standards for the training, certification, and lifelong education of family physicians in Canada. It accredits postgraduate family medicine training programs in Canadian medical schools, conducts the certification examination for graduating family medicine residents, and grants the certification (CCFP) and fellowship (FCFP) designations to its members.

The CFPC is a member of the World Organization of Family Doctors. The CFPC is based in Mississauga, Ontario.

History
The CFPC was founded in 1954 in Vancouver, British Columbia, as the "College of General Practice of Canada" out of a need to ensure family physicians were dedicated to continuing medical education. There were 400 members at inception. Victor L. Johnston, the first executive director, remained in office for ten consecutive years. The first executive committee and board of representatives consisted of 17 members. In 1964, the College obtained its current name.

Governance
The CFPC is governed by members of the executive committee and the board of representatives.

Collaboration with the Medical Council of Canada
In 2013, the CFPC collaborated with the Medical Council of Canada (MCC) to deliver a new "harmonized" certification examination in family medicine. Those who passed the new examination and met all other qualifications of both organizations were awarded both the Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada (LMCC), the medical license to practice in Canada, and the certification in family medicine designation (CCFP). Nevertheless, upon review of the harmonized examination, the CFPC determined that the Certification Examination in Family Medicine did not result in the anticipated benefits for the Certification decision. For this reason, starting in 2016, the two examinations were once again run separately, as they were prior to 2013.

Continuing professional development
The CFPC has numerous opportunities for the continuing professional development of its physician members.

The CFPC runs a program designed to support the continuous professional development of its members called Mainpro+ (Maintenance of Proficiency). This program assesses proposed learning modules and seminars against established standards and awards various types and numbers of credits that physicians can earn by participating in these learning opportunities. Credits are recorded and physicians must meet a standard number and type of credits in order to maintain their certification (CCFP).

Canadian Family Physician
The CFPC's official monthly journal is Canadian Family Physician.

Family physicians have the possibility of accumulating MAINPRO credits by "performing brief reflective exercises after reading eligible articles in the journal," thereby contributing to the spread of family medicine stories and experience across the country to the various readers of CFP.

Family Medicine Forum
Each year, the CFPC hosts the Family Medicine Forum (FMF), a national family medicine conference. The conference offers hundreds of clinical and professional development sessions for family physicians over three days in November. The conference is held at varying host cities and provinces each year. The 2016 FMF was held in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Research and Education Foundation
The Research and Education Foundation of the CFPC was established to provide funding for honours, awards, scholarships, and grants bestowed by the organization to its members. It is a registered charity with the Government of Canada.

Enhanced skills programs
The CFPC recognizes several enhanced skills programs that generally last between three and twelve months. These advanced programs are accessible to practicing family physicians as well as Canadian medical residents who are completing their second year of residency in family medicine. In some cases, the enhanced skills program counts as a third year of residency. The following are some existing enhanced skills programs, which are recognized by the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) and lead to the obtention of a Certificate of Added Competence (CAC) in a specialized domain of family and community medicine:
 * Emergency medicine (post-nominal designation: CCFP-EM)
 * Palliative care (post-nominal designation: CCFP-PC)
 * Care of the elderly (post-nominal designation: CCFP-COE)
 * Sport and exercise medicine (post-nominal designation: CCFP-SEM)
 * Anesthesia (post-nominal designation: CCFP-FPA)
 * Addiction medicine (post-nominal designation: CCFP-AM)
 * Enhanced surgical skills (post-nominal designation: CCFP-ESS)

Some other enhanced skills programs which do not necessarily lead to a certificate of added competence with the CFPC but are nonetheless accessible for graduating or practicing family physicians include the following:
 * Maternal and child care
 * Clinician-scholar program with various streams including research, education, or management (often involves the completion of a Master's degree in science [M.Sc.] or business administration [MBA] or a Doctor of Philosophy [Ph.D.])
 * Medical oncology
 * Breast diseases
 * Clinical environmental health
 * Global health or vulnerable populations
 * HIV care
 * Hospital medicine
 * Indigenous health
 * Low-risk obstetrics
 * Women's health
 * Special populations

Physician members of the Canadian Forces can benefit from supplementary training and obtain the Certificate of Added Competence in Emergency Medicine via subsidized education from the Department of National Defence of Canada.

Student interest groups in family medicine
Several medical schools in Canada have student interest groups in family medicine, as well as other medical specialties. These student interest groups often organize activities that allow fellow medical students to explore some facets of the medical specialty. In September 2014, for example, the family medicine student interest group at McGill University hosted the sixth family medicine student symposium, gathering over 600 students from the four Quebec faculties of medicine (McGill University, Université de Montréal, Université Laval, and Université de Sherbrooke), as well as the University of Ottawa. While the conferences took place in the McIntyre Medical Sciences Building, the workshops led by practicing physicians and family medicine residents took place in McGill's medical simulation center near the downtown campus.

Jeffrey Waruch
This article concerns a witness in the court martial of Edward L. Richmond (Pfc). The text of the article and external links are similar to the Richmond article. The witness is not notable other than in the contextof the Richmond case, so perhaps this article could be merged  with Edward L. Richmond (Pfc), or, if not, deleted.Joaquin Murietta 15:05, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * keep -- In the interests of full disclosure -- I started the Jeffrey Waruch article. In the interests of full disclosure, User:Joaquin Murietta filed a copyright violation on another article, that I consider to be in bogus and in bad faith, and an attempt to game the wikipedia rules.  I called them on it in a comment filed just a few minutes before JM filed this {AfD}.  If JM believed in full disclosure they would have acknowledged this themselves.
 * Granted, the two articles contain common elements. But Waruch, IMO, merited an article when we learned he too was under inquiry.
 * JM suggests we should merge these articles when Waruch's inquiry is still in progress? The results of Waruch's inquiry will have nothing to do with Richmond. Remember, Wikipedia is not paper.  There is no downside to keeping the two articles distinct.
 * JM says in their explanation that the article should be merged, or if not deleted. So, why didn't they apply the {mergeto} tag instead of the {AfD} tag?  This is, in my opinion, a misuse of {AfD}.

 * Merge & Delete Waruch doesn't pass my criteria for notability.  In 5 years, will anyone remember who this guy is?  Merge anything that isn't already stated into the Edward L. Richmond (Pfc) article.--Isotope23 17:18, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The Richmond case is notable; this subject is not, and his role in the case should be basically a sentence in the Edward L. Richmond (Pfc) article.  MCB 22:18, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Edgar Graham

Untitled
Umm, much better known Edgar Graham was the protestant political leader. Added stub bio, removed automatic redirect to the pop band member, but left link to pop band.

NPOV
This article is obviously not written from a NPOV. I would edit it accordingly, but I don't feel that I am well versed enough on Mr. Graham to do so. Someone really ought to all the same though. --Jt 15:05, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't know. Isaac Brock tends to engage in a fuckload of shenanigans. This is part of an interview done by The Independent Weekly's David Madison:

But wait, wasn't Edgar Graham responsible for these songs? Brock laughs. The van keeps rolling through Cleveland, gas fumes filling the air from a hole accidentally drilled into the gas tank by someone in his new crew. "I've got to quit trying," says Brock. "Sorry, I'm trying to keep the hoax alive."

Maybe so, maybe not. Probably not, but since when does correct information matter anyway. I wouldn't worry about it that much.

There's as much on the Ugly Casanova page about Edgar Graham as there is here, so rather than fix the NPOV and lack of references I'm going to redirect to there. Kevin 10:09, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Added sourcing
Also added "Repecussions" section. Plan to add fuller Bio of Graham's earlier political involvement with more radical Unionist groups in the 70's, and some quotes both by Graham and Trimble. Specific examples of Graham's contested memory being used by Trimble and others. T L Miles 09:29, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

2007 NPOV?
I see someone added a neutrality box to the article. Anyone care to give a reason?

The NPOV discussion on the talk page goes back to when this was an article about a pop band member who used "Edgar Graham" as a name on liner notes. It doesn't refer to this article (or subject), so I'm thinking someone slapped the NPOV given the (now redundant) talk page.

I'll check back in a few days to see what people think.

T L Miles 14:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It was added by vintagekits, an ardent Irish republican, Goodness knows why. See User_talk:Logoistic - Kittybrewster 15:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I think it was reasonable to remove the NPOV. Personally, I'm a pretty ardent republican, (and I want to do more research into Graham's neo-fascist leanings in the 70s), but he has become something of a totemic figure amongst some unionists, and it's important to have some fairly dispassionate background on his life and death.

Murder / death / assassination / killing are hairsplitting. If one feels it was justified, and the target didn't have a weapon at the time, any of these seem reasonable names.

T L Miles 13:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

NPOV 2008
I'm not really sure I understand the revision of User:Manchesterbedsit, here. The clean up of word choice seems reasonable, but the moving of all supporting quotations to the body, the removal of the reflist tag to be replaced with a deprecated tag for refs, the removal of link citations (or just parts of urls), the removal of the summation which was refed, and then the "fact" tag on the part of the lead which refers to the citation he just removed; all this makes me a little suspicious. I'm sure that there's much that can be improved, and such subjects are always walking a NPOV tightrope, but let's try to build an article acceptable to both communities, or else let's all agree to blank it.

Some input here which can lead to concensus would be helpful. Thoughts? T L Miles (talk) 01:00, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Righty. I may be going out on a limb here, but it looks like the editor refed above (from looking at his three edits, and comparing them to other accounts edits) is a sockpuppet of User:Rms125a@hotmail.com.  This (while unproven, and something I really could care less about persuing) would explain the mangling edits, and utter silence thereafter. I'm not going to revert, as there are two latter edits, but I'm going to restore the citations and sections he blanked, and folks can take it from there. T L Miles (talk) 19:43, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Biased article
It appears as if the article is attempting to justify Graham's death at the hands of the IRA.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 13:02, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Forest Able

Forest Edward Able (born July 27, 1932) is an American former professional basketball player. He is nicknamed "Frosty".

A 6'3" (1.90 m) guard, Able attended Fairdale High School in Louisville, Kentucky. He enrolled at the University of Louisville and played a season on their freshman team during the 1951–52 season. Able was the subject of controversy when he announced his intention to enrol at Western Kentucky State College (now Western Kentucky University) to be closer to his girlfriend who also attended the college. Able starred with the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, where he tallied 1,221 career points. As a senior, Able was named the Hilltoppers’ most valuable player and named to the Newspaper Enterprise Association 26-man All-America squad.

After his college career, Able had a brief stint with the Syracuse Nationals who selected him in the 1956 NBA draft. He appeared in one game against the Rochester Royals where he recorded two field goal attempts, an assist and a rebound. Able considered himself "a nervous wreck" during his appearance and was released shortly after his debut.

Following the close of his playing career, Able became head coach at his alma mater Fairdale High School in 1959 and coached for more than 10 years. He taught physical education and health for 30 years.

Able was inducted into the WKU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2011.

Able's grandson, Kameron, played on the Morehead State Eagles football team.

Aivaras Balžekas

Aivaras Balžekas (April 8, 1982 – October 10, 2005) was a Lithuanian professional tennis player and a member of Lynn University's tennis team.

Balzekas was a member of the Lithuania Davis Cup team and earned a career-high ATP singles ranking of world no. 926 in 2002. He played for one season at Lynn in Boca Raton, Florida, and had earned several honors and titles, including finishing the 2005 season ranked 11th in American college tennis. This continued a successful career that began at Auburn University–Montgomery, where he was a member of the 2004 NAIA national championship team.

Balzekas died at a Florida hospital where he was taken after being struck by a motorist. The collision occurred on October 8, 2005. At the time he was helping a friend push a disabled vehicle along the side of a road. A Boca Raton man named David Walsh was sentenced to a year and one day in prison for the death of Balzekas. He pleaded guilty to driving drunk and killing Balzekas.

Talk:Woody Woodpecker

Keep an eye on vandalism
I recently noticed that the article has been edited to say that Dal McKennon voiced Woody from 1950 to 1957, with Grace Stafford taking the role thereafter. This is false, Stafford did the voice in all the theatrical cartoons from 1950 on. Since this is a new account, I can’t correct this information, but I hope someone able to edit the page can. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pokeboy47 (talk • contribs) 20:13, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Grace Stafford first voiced Woody Woodpecker in Destination Moon (1950) and did his laugh at the beginning of the 1950-1972 cartoons, but there is this person on Twitter named John Hardel, who posted clips of Woody's voice in the 1952-1957 cartoons pitched down, which say that Dallas McKennon provided the voice (McKennon's first voicework in a cartoon was The Great Who-Dood-It in 1952). Listening to most of the pitched-down clips, Woody's voice sounds more male than female, which is noticeable in cartoons such as Woodpecker from Mars (when he screams upon finding himself in space) and Niagara Fools. This seems to imply that McKennon filled in for Stafford during this time (you still hear Stafford's Woody laugh at the end of cartoons like Termites from Mars, Niagra Falls and To Catch a Woodpecker) before she was credited as Woody's voice in 1958, beginning with Misguided Missile.

 * One Twitter user’s random tweets aren’t enough to indicate that a change in casting took place. Keep in mind, not crediting actors for cartoon roles was not uncommon at this point (a good example is Arthur Q. Bryan as Elmer Fudd), and Keith Scott’s voice acting book indicates that Stafford did indeed do the voice of Woody for all cartoons after the studio re-opened in 1950 Pokeboy47 (talk) 15:28, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Music Video
There is a music video of Credence Clearwater Revival's song Bad Moon Rising that is composed entire of segments from some halloween themed Woody Woodpecker cartoon. I remember seeing this for certain in 1985-1986 early in the morning on WDBB in Tuscaloosa, AL (USA) and vaguely remember seeing it also at another station in West Virginia, which suggests that this was distributed. Today, I find absolutely so reference that this video ever existed. Certainly, I must not be the only one that is aware of this video existing. I'd like to check back here and see what people remember. timothylegg 76.10.81.17 (talk) 14:28, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Disputed
The correctness of the date of Lantz's marriage as 1941 (and the conclusion that the origin story is fictional) is in doubt. IMDB lists it at 1940, but the article claims it is 1941, probably based on Lantz's obituary in the LA Times as linked from davidbrady.com. Given that the text of the LA Times article is not even self-consistent (as noted), I sway towards 1940 but have no means to corroborate it. TheGoblin 15:07, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

DVD news
In a January 2007 radio interview on Time Travel with Dan Hollis and Jeff O'Boyle, animation historian Jerry Beck announced that he was working with Universal to prepare a 4-disc DVD set of Woody Woodpecker and other Walter Lantz cartoons. Although no official announcement from Universal has been issued yet, Beck states that the collection will include 75 cartoons, including Knock Knock, the first forty-five Woody Woodpecker cartoons (from 1941's Woody Woodpecker to 1952's Termites from Mars), the four cartoons Tex Avery directed for Lantz, several Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoons, several Pooch the Pup cartoons, and several Swing Symphonies cartoons as well.

The apparition of the Woody Woodpecker at the Williams F1 car wasn't in 1999, but in 1998!

A Better Image
This image from Woody's look throughout the years would be perfect for the image up at the top of the screen. It displays his original 1940's look, his second 1940's look, and his 1951-1972 look. It serves a better purpose than the current image and isn't as violent. Woody is the only character on this site to have a picture with the character pointing a gun to the head at the top of the page. I vote for a change. Any naysayers? -- Magic-Man 08:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

 * You're probably not going to get a response from anybody but me on here, because Woody Woodpecker isn't exactly a high-traffic article. It's not a better image because it's not an image done by a Walter Lantz employee. It's someone else's rendition of Woody Woodpecker. Not only that, but it's not a finished piece - it's interim art; a sketch. For those purposes and others, it is something that we can't properly license for use on this site under fair use (and will eventually be deleted). As I said on your talk page (why didn't you reply back to me?), when I get the Woody Woodpecker DVD, I'll make a crisp screen capture of an opening title card, and replace the image (I'll also be replacing some of the images already here as well). As for showing Woody's various looks, that's what the sequence of images already in the article is for, because we can claim fair use for a handful of screenshots a lot easier than we can someone's sketch for a Woody maquette. --FuriousFreddy 23:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Comics?
This article lacks any mention of Woody's comics career which according to at least this reference began not long after the animation.

On the one hand,

Except for a single 1946 story drawn by Walt Kelly, creator of Pogo, not one of the hundreds of American comics featuring Woody was notable for outstanding quality.

On the other hand,

It was, however, in the comic books that a couple of supporting characters were introduced. In New Funnies #182 (1952), Woody rescues a pair of woodpecker boys named Nuthead and Splinter from a tiger. Over the next few months, Nuthead's name metamorphosed into Knothead, Splinter metamorphosed into a girl, and they were retconned into Woody's nephew and niece. As such, Knothead and Splinter later turned up in the cartoons.

 * The comics are a huge ommission. Over a hundred of them were produced. They were published by at least two companies that I know of: Dell and Gold Key.

honeymoon story questionable?
This article currently says the honeymoon woodpecker origin story is questionable, so I clicked the links. From what I can tell, all of the events seemed to occur in 1940, so that doesn't seem so extremely questionable, it's not like "5 years went by" or something. Anyway, I wanted to add that since at that time a woman's virtue was more important, it's quite possible that they said it was their honeymoon when perhaps they had shared a cabin on some previous occasion, i.e. the questionableness of the story doesn't mean that it's not essentially true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.68.152.245 (talk) 21:47, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Acorn Woodpecker call
"Also, their story that the bird's cry inspired Woody's trademark 'Ha-ha-ha-HAA-ha!' is also questionable, as Mel Blanc had already used a similar laugh in earlier Warner Bros"... is questionable, but the call of the Acorn Woodpecker has a similar melody (but obviously less anthropomorphic). That bird can be found in southern California's Oak Woodlands.98.176.116.217 (talk) 07:42, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Summary needed
I think that the article is too long now and this detracts from comprehension. For instance in the "history" section, many technical details are given about the production, but the overall basic understanding is diluted. Possibly a solution that could work for both the general reader and afficionados of animation, would be to include a summary paragraph at the head of each section. - 86.40.29.139 (talk) 15:57, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Flare gun

Mistaken belief Very pistols are "illegal in the UK"
In the UK, I believe that flare guns are actually illegal, and are thus not "commonly found in rescue kits". I know this applies to the Very pistol. Does anyone know the situation in the rest of the world? (maritime distress flares in the UK are fired from a hand-held tube, a little like a "roman candle" firework) --Canthusus 15:07, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * No they are not "illegal", but a Firearms Certificate is needed to own one. It It in the articleBilllion 09:39, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It is of course true they are "not found in rescue kits" in the sense that the firearms certificate holder is responsible for their securityBilllion (talk) 16:49, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

how does it work
Does anyone know the difference between how a firearm operates vs how a flare gun operates. What is the difference in the "process"? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 206.194.127.112 (talk • contribs). They are about identical, a rear impact by a pin, similar to a revolver, propels a signal. 64.26.148.160 18:27, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

 * This link will take you to a report by a forensics investigation of a flare gun. It shows the thing taken apart and shows the data on its firing characteristics. CSI view of a flare gun Michael Daly 22:15, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Single action trigger mechanism, hammer action, centre fire pin. Pretty much like a shotgun but with a pyrotechnic projectile.Billlion (talk) 22:49, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Entertainment references
The article seems to become a magnet for "a flare gun is used in game/film x" which to me does not seem to have a place in a serious encyclopedia article on the subject.Billlion (talk) 05:27, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Frank Zappa
The section on the Frank Zappa incident might be important i the history of Frank Zappa but to me it does not seem that important in the long history of vary pistols. Suggest it be merged in to Frank Zappa with a link from here?Billlion (talk) 08:39, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It is not even clear from the FZ article it was a Very pistol rather than simply a flare taht was fired.Billlion (talk) 08:41, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

 * This isn't an article on Very pistols though (and it's Very, not vary), it's on flare guns.
 * How many widely publicised flare gun accidents are there? This one gave rise directly to a song (not a Zappa song) that is still one of rock's best known guitar riffs. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:17, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

 * "Very" is a accepted as a synonym for flare gun; Billion's point is that there's no proof that it was a flare gun, as opposed to a non-gun flare. As Billion says, it may have a place on the Frank Zappa page, but it is utterly ridiculous to put such trivial and fancrufty content here. Nick Cooper (talk) 17:51, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Very pistols are flare guns, but few flare guns (only the larger ones) are Very pistols (sorry, "vary pistols"). You accuse the article of being fancrufty, yet you invent a synonym like this on no basis whatsoever.
 * The casino fire is well-recorded. It was caused by a flare, fired upwards into the ceiling decorations - one reason why it wasn't quickly extinguished and why it spread throughout the hall. This is unlikely to have been a Very pistol, given the location it was probably a moutain rescue flare gun (a far simpler device), but it definitely wasn't a simple hand-held flare.
 * As to the rest, an iconic fire that destroys a major landmark in a Swiss town and has an enormously well-known song written about it - that's notability. We're into "Casey Jones" and "The Raft of the Medusa" territory here, for popular song culture inspired by a tragedy. If you don't who Zappa or Deep Purple were, or just how big a song this was, then I suggest that's simply WP:IMTOOYOUNGTOREMEMBERTHAT. Andy Dingley (talk) 08:24, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
 * As far as going upwards it could have been a parachute flare fired from a single use tube. This is a rocket rather than a gun.Billlion (talk) 15:50, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

 * That's about as valid as claiming "Hoover" can't be used as a synonym of "vacuum cleaner," even though it patently is. You also don't strength your case by resorting to condescention. Nick Cooper (talk) 12:33, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Very pistols are rare, especially in civilian hands. Far more common are the simpler "pencil" flare launchers used by yachtsmen and mountaineers. It's likely that the Montreux fire was caused by one of these (although I don't know if it was ever recovered - I don't think the culprit was found either). It would thus be reasonable to remove this from "Very pistol", as first claimed above - except that this article is about flare guns, not just Very pistols.
 * Your next claim was that it didn't belong because it was just a hand-held flare, not a flare gun. Except that the evidence is firmly that it was a flare gun, because the fire was started high up in the ceiling.
 * So that's two attempts to remove it, both for reasons that simply don't stack up. What's going to be the next line? Poor references? It's one of the few flare gun incidents in this article that is referenced. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:24, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

RfC: Frank Zappa incident
Given the generic nature of the page subject, is it appropriate to highlight this one historical incident so prominently? Nick Cooper (talk) 12:47, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment It doesn't seem appropriate to include such a specific thing here; it seems much more relevant to the history of rock music (or the bios of the musicians involved) than to the history of flare guns. Also, FYI, it would be helpful in a summary of the dispute for RfC, if you mentioned WHICH historical incident you mean.  It's obvious from the article, but people browsing RfC may pass it by because it's not clear. siafu (talk) 16:34, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It's identified in the above heading. Nick Cooper (talk) 19:24, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It is here, but not on the RfC page. siafu (talk) 19:48, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Remove It may be interesting but it does not belong here. Martin Hogbin (talk) 17:53, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Remove as per my earlier comments above. Nick Cooper (talk) 17:56, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Remove as my earlier comment. It lives in the Frank Zappa article and even then it is not clear a Very pistol was used. Billlion (talk) 18:39, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Remove for reasons stated above. Gerardw (talk) 20:32, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep but not in a separate section -- simply remove the section header (also remove the third sentence ("Zappa shouted "Fire!" ...") for conciseness). It fits well enough in the "Use as weapons" section -- setting an occupied building on fire, intentionally or not, is surely an aggressive act -- and the incident seems as notable as the Sgt. Jeffreys, USS Borie, and Alex Kimbal incidents. Herostratus (talk) 16:07, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep but de-emphasize section either by (1) merging into above section per Herostratus' comment; or (2) re-naming the section to "Incidents" (leave section text alone) with the understanding that other incidents can be added into the "Incidents" section in the future. Although the material is not especially significant, it is documented and falls within this article's purview.  --Noleander (talk) 19:58, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment but was it a very pistol or just a flare? Billlion (talk) 22:41, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Good question. I'm presuming the sources say it was a flare from a  "gun".  If no one can produce a quote from a source that says it was a "gun", then the material should be removed. --Noleander (talk) 00:25, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * No-one knows who set the fire, so no-one knows whether they used a flare, a flare gun, or a lighter. However what is very well recorded is that the fire started in a large auditorium, in decorations hung from the ceiling high above the crowd. This is significant, because it's why the fire couldn't be extinguished until the building was already well alight. So by all means re-name it to, "Incident with a flare gun or else some really tall guy with very, very long arms".
 * As Billlion keeps pointing out, this probably doesn't belong in the article for Very pistol. However it isn't in that article, it's in this one, on flare guns instead. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:23, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep This incident is sufficiently notable to be rightly mentioned in at least seven other articles: (Smoke on the Water, Deep Purple, Frank Zappa, Claude Nobs, Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, Beat the Boots II, Montreux Casino). It would be most strange if an incident about a flare gun was mentioned in all of these, but not in flare gun itself. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:34, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It wouldn't be "strange" at all. There are plenty of incidents involving specific types of firearms, but they don't get mentioned in the pages for those firearms. This is just fan-cruft of the worst type. Nick Cooper (talk) 10:46, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm coming across this rather late, but...the reference to "flare gun" may quite possibly be a matter of the writer of the lyrics of "Smoke on the Water" taking creative liberties in describing the event, rather than referring to the actual sequence of events. Zappa himself stated (perhaps in The Real Frank Zappa Book? I've long forgotten exactly where, though) his belief that the perpetrator actually fired a bottle rocket.

Flare calibre
26.5mm is not 1 inch (25.4mm) Is that a different metric standard for flares? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.183.50.187 (talk) 07:40, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Stud on Barrel
I have corrected the erroneous caption on the British pistol, that the stud was for attaching the pistol to a vehicle or aircraft because it was not. It is for the location of a Schermuly Line Thrower extension. As an aside, anyone who has ever fired a 1" pistol will know that the recoil would rip that small stud off (there is only one BTW) after one or two shots. The 1.5" pistols that were for attaching to an aircraft have a much more substantial interrupted thread. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.170.24.122 (talk) 10:41, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
 * This is not the case, although I am hard pressed to provide any documentation. First of all I have fired it and it has very little recoil, secondly I was shown the flare port in a restored WWII plane where it fits. I am not disputing that there may also be 1.5" ports as well. Maybe however this needs to be settled with some reliable sources rather than our own experiences.Billlion (talk) 22:30, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually I have just found this picture http://www.cyber-heritage.co.uk/schermuly/sra.jpg which looks very much like the Molins on a Schermuly line throwing apparatus, although one cannot see the lug. Left the figure caption with no explanation of the lug until details can be found in a book.Billlion (talk) 22:50, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Сигнал Охотника
I think this is what is called in the UK a pen flare, and is not peculiar to Russia. Not sure it especially due to gun control, maybe more that they are easy to carry. Billlion (talk) 21:08, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

A description of a case of Verey light injury
"Plastic Surgery of the Face" by Sir Harold Gillies, a work recording mostly the work of the author in facial reconstruction of WWI wounded, describes a case of a Verey Light injury to the face (an accident in this case). May be of some relevance, considering the extensive description of the injury. Here is a link https://archive.org/stream/plasticsurgeryof00gilluoft#page/254/mode/2up I leave this here in case it is of any future use Lucasdealmeidasm (talk) 10:30, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Firearm (tool)
The purpose of the link to Firearm is really for people who do not know what "firearm" means, ie a hand portable gun. I am not sure what the purpose of the article Firearm (tool) is but in this context someone who did not know might be think that the distinction between firearms and guns is that the former is not used to kill people! I think this just muddies the waters. Billlion (talk) 15:47, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

White light
They have a specific military use to produce instant white light, in contrast to the white light from a parachute flare (the sound of the rocket firing may give troops time to take cover). White light may also be used in a search and rescue context to illuminate the ground or sea. If any editor can source this, it would be worth adding.

I decided it was time I started handing out gongs to the great and good. I loathe barnstars (if you award me one don't be surprised if it metamorphoses into a pornstar!) so I'm making my own award: the bicycle.

Why the bicycle?
Good question. Answer: they're pretty. Simple as that. I like looking at pretty things and I figure I might as well make my awards pretty.

Why do I award them?
Because I think you've done something good and I want to say thanks in a showy way that will make me look good too. Pathetic, isn't it?

1999 Antiguan general election

General elections were held in Antigua and Barbuda on 9 March 1999. The elections were won by the governing Antigua Labour Party. Lester Bird was re-elected Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda. Voter turnout was 63.6%.

The elections were extremely close, with the UPP losing five seats by a narrow 554 votes in total, and had the elections been free and fair (the government controlled almost all newspapers as well as television and radio stations), the opposition could have won a majority. Opposition leader Baldwin Spencer criticised the conduct and fairness of the elections and began a hunger strike in protest to the flaws in the system. The government responded by establishing the independent Antigua & Barbuda Electoral Commission in 2001.

SWIM
This just looks like an attempt to justify a link to another site. The terminology already exists in List of internet slang. - Neier 15:12, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Neier 15:12, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unencyclopedic. *drew 16:08, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - As the creator I apologize. It was not created with the intent of linking to totse, I just put down what I knew.  I was previously unaware that there was any knowledge of this term, so I created the article.  Possibly some the info can be placed elsewhere?  Possibly wikitionary? --AGruntsJaggon 05:48, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * If you have proper quotations to show that the initialism is attested, then SWIM will take them. Uncle G 10:57, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It is used very commonly on the Totse.com forums and has been for many years. It is also used in some of the articles.  I dont know about other sites though.  Do they accept internet slang? EDIT: Didnt see it was already submitted. --AGruntsJaggon 23:39, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
