Dick Pougher

Arthur Dick Pougher (19 April 1865 – 20 May 1926) was an English professional cricketer and umpire who played for Leicestershire County Cricket Club from 1885 to 1901, and in one Test match for England in 1891–92. He was born at Humberstone, Leicestershire and died at Aylestone Park, Leicester.

Pougher was an all-rounder who played in 163 first-class matches. He was a right-handed batsman and scored 4,555 runs at an average of 18.59 runs per completed innings with a highest score of 114 as one of five centuries. He was a right arm fast medium bowler who could also bowl off breaks. He took 535 wickets at an average of 19.02 runs per wicket. He took five wickets in an innings 31 times with best figures of 9/34. He achieved ten wickets in a match seven times with a best return of 14/89. He held 98 career catches.

Tours
Pougher went on two overseas tours but played in only one Test match for England, which was against South Africa at Cape Town in 1891–92. He was awarded two benefits: one by Leicestershire in 1900 and one by Middlesex in 1910.

Five for none versus the 1896 Australians
Pougher's Wisden obituary recalls his "most memorable feat" when he played for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against the 1896 Australian tourists at Lord's on 11 June 1896. MCC had batted first and were all out for 219. The pitch was deteriorating after heavy rain and the Australian batsmen had to work hard against the bowling of J. T. Hearne and William Attewell to reach 18/3 in the first seventeen overs. At that point, W. G. Grace, the MCC captain, decided to replace Attewell with Pougher.

From his first delivery, Pougher caught and bowled Jim Kelly, taking the catch with his right hand. Pougher then bowled Clem Hill with a delivery that "bewildered" the batsman. Hugh Trumble survived the three remaining balls of the five-ball over without scoring so Pougher had a double-wicket maiden. Jack Hearne continued bowling from the other end. Pougher's second over, again bowling to Trumble, was another maiden but without a wicket falling. With the second ball of his next over, Hearne bowled Frank Iredale and the Australians were then 18/6 (effectively 18/7 because George Giffen had been taken ill and was out of the match). Hearne had taken 4/4 in eleven overs. Pougher came on for his third over and finished the innings at 18/9 by bowling Trumble with his second delivery, then bowling Charles Eady with his third and, off the fifth and last ball of the over, having Tom McKibbin caught by George Davidson.

Pougher took five wickets in fifteen deliveries (including three wickets in four deliveries) without conceding a run. In scorecard notation, the sequence of his deliveries was:

 * ww...|.....|.ww.w (w = wicket taken; . = no run scored; | = end of over)

Having been dismissed for only 18, the Australians were obliged to bat again and reached close of play with 25/2, still 176 runs behind. On the second day, they were all out for 183 after a good partnership of 112 between Joe Darling (76) and Eady (42). Pougher bowled 28 overs in the second innings, including 15 maidens, but took no more wickets and his return was 0/33. Jack Hearne, however, took 9/73 for a match analysis of 13/77.

Umpiring career
Pougher umpired 49 first-class matches. All but two of these were between 1903 and 1909; the exceptions were one match in Australia in 1888–89 and Leicestershire's game against the West Indians in 1923. He also officiated in Yorkshire's game against Kent in July 1904, but this match is not included in the total, as he and fellow umpire William Shrewsbury (brother of Arthur) declared the match void after the first day because of illegal changes made to the pitch.

Later years
After retiring from cricket, Pougher kept the Old Cricket Ground Hotel at Aylestone Park, Leicester, where he died in 1926, aged 61.

History

Shadrinsk was founded in 1662 as an agricultural and trade settlement. Shadrinsk hosted the second largest fair in the Urals region. Town status was granted to it from 1712 to 1737 and in 1781.

Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Shadrinsk serves as the administrative center of Shadrinsky District, even though it is not a part of it. As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as Shadrinsk Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction—an administrative unit with a status equal to that of the districts. As a municipal division, Shadrinsk Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction is incorporated as Shadrinsk Urban Okrug.

Climate
Shadrinsk has a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification Dfb), with very cold winters and warm summers. The average temperature in January is -14 °C, and the record low is -44.9 °C. The average temperature in July is 19.3 °C, and the record high is +41.7 °C. Precipitation is moderate, but is significantly higher in summer than at other times of the year. In the last 5 years there has been a trend towards hot May and dry August(for about 23 days, the temperature in the town was above 30 degrees!).

Economy
There is a hydraulic systems plant (ShAAZ, Shadrinsky Avtoagregatny Zavod) in the town, which manufactures auto parts. The plant is controlled by the Ural Mining Metallurgical Company (UMMC). Another plant is Shadrinsk Milk Canning Plant. It produces dairy products and Shadrinskaya brand mineral water.

Military
The town is home to Shadrinsk air base which is a minor airlift facility.

George Pernicano

George Pernicano (December 12, 1917 – October 6, 2016) was an American businessman. Along with Barron Hilton and other prominent San Diegans, Pernicano brought the Los Angeles Chargers to San Diego in 1961. He originally owned 7% of the team, but later held 3%. On Sept 8, 1996, he was inducted into the Chargers Hall of Fame. Pernicano attended every home game in the team's history until his death and only missed 2 away games: one for his grandson's wedding and one towards the end of his life due to health issues.

In 1960, he opened Casa di Baffi in San Diego's Hillcrest neighborhood. It closed in the early 1980s and was demolished in January 2022. City officials and neighboring business have expressed frustration over Pernicano's refusal to sell or redevelop the property. He died at the age of 98 on October 6, 2016.

Matthew 5:40

Matthew 5:40 is the fortieth verse of the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament and is part of the Sermon on the Mount. This is the third verse of the antithesis on the commandment: "Eye for an eye".

Content
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:
 * And if any man will sue thee at the law, and
 * take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

The World English Bible translates the passage as:
 * If anyone sues you to take away your
 * coat, let him have your cloak also.

The Novum Testamentum Graece text is:
 * καὶ τῷ θέλοντί σοι κριθῆναι καὶ τὸν χιτῶνά σου λαβεῖν,
 * ἄφες αὐτῷ καὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον

Analysis
The word coat here can also be translated as shirt, and it refers to the basic garment one would wear on one's upper body.

This is often interpreted as an example of the non-resistance Jesus advocated in the previous verse. France, however, disagrees with this view. He sees this verse as far more closely linked to Jesus' renunciation of property and the material. If one has faith in God, one should not be afraid to lose all material possessions, for even if it leads to great hardship on Earth, they will be properly rewarded by God.

Nolland interprets this verse as referring to a specific case of someone extremely poor, who has nothing but his clothing to be sued for. The demand of the creditor is thus unreasonable and is a possible violation of Jewish law. To Nolland the surrendering of the cloak and the last vestiges of decency will serve to shame the creditor and show his immorality.

Difficulty is added to the interpretation of this verse due to the mistranslation and one's understanding of the previous verse (YLT): "But I say unto you, That ye resist not the evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." The adjective ponero is often translated as “not evil” (KJV) or other variants such as "the evil person." Examining the Greek to English Interlinear, the brackets show ‘person’ was being inferred by the translators while the adjective ponero simply means evil. Additionally, Exodus 21:24-27 shows that an "eye for an eye" was not to be taken literally as a servant who lost an eye or tooth due to their master striking them was to be let go as a freeman. One related instruction the nation of Israel was giving on the topic of judicial prosecution is seen in Leviticus 19:18 which states: "Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

In verse 39, neither was Jesus referring to what the judges should do regarding an eye for an eye but rather how his disciples should respond when they are the offended. And because an eye for an eye was being addressed the focus here revolved around retaliation through legal means. As to why an oral teaching regarding this was being addressed, a collection of books written around 200 A.D that essentially recorded debates between Rabbinic sages regarding Jewish oral traditions, gives us a closer view to the time period and clues. In m. B. K. 8:6, we read that a slap on the cheek had been declared as a low form of insult that resulted in a payment of 200 zuz but 400 if it was done with the backhand. Other low forms of insults, such as shouting at a fellow was punishable for 20 zuz, while spitting on one was punishable for 400. Knowing this, the content of the offenses Jesus addresses in this passage are minor, thus turning the other cheek means to take the high road on petty matters. Relatedly, within Judaism, for the clause “if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him,” (Leviticus 24:19-20) the majority stance is that “as” is to be taken as conveying that the punishment should fit the crime, just as “eye for an eye” is not to be taken as a literal expression.

All the uses of an eye for an eye are related to mostly severe bodily or monetary crimes (Deuteronomy 19:16-21; Exodus 21:22-24): here in Matthew 5:40, Jesus likely follows his line of thinking on the evil being addressed, instructing his disciples not to resist a quarrel where they're being sued for something small in value (a cloak), rather just give it to them and return their evil with good. The spirit of this teaching is also seen in Proverbs 25:21 and Romans 12:19-21 where an enemy is to be given food to eat. Exodus 22:25-27 is an unrelated law, regarding giving back a garment that was a pledge for a loan to the poor (with no relation to legally prosecuting someone). And not heeding to Israel's judges could even bring the death penalty (Deuteronomy 17:9-12). In conclusion, the rabbinic sages seem to have been using it wrongly for petty matters.

Commentary from the Church Fathers
Augustine: The other kind of injuries are those in which full restitution can be made, of which there are two kinds; one relates to money, the other to work; of the first of these it is He speaks when He continues, Whoso will sue thee for thy coat, let him have thy cloak likewise. As by the cheek are denoted such injuries of the wicked as admit of no restitution but revenge, so by this similitude of the garments is denoted such injury as admits restitution. And this, as the former, is rightly taken of preparation of the heart, not of the show of the outward action. And what is commanded respecting our garments, is to be observed in all things that by any right we call our own in worldly property. For if the command be expressed in these necessary articles of life, how much more does it hold in the case of superfluities and luxuries? And when He says, He who will sue thee, He clearly intends to include every thing for which it is possible that we should be sued. It may be made a question whether it is to be understood of slaves, for a Christian ought not to possess his slave on the same footing as his horse; though it might be that the horse was worth the more money. And if your slave have a milder master in you than he would have in him who seeks to take him from you, I do not know that he ought to be given up as lightly as your coat.

Pseudo-Chrysostom: For it were an unworthy thing that a believer should stand in his cause before an unbelieving judge. Or if one who is a believer, though (as he must be) a worldly man, though he should have reverenced you for the worthiness of the faith, sues you because the cause is a necessary one, you will lose the worthiness of Christ for the business of the world. Further, every lawsuit irritates the heart and excites bad thoughts; for when you see dishonesty or bribery employed against you, you hasten to support your own cause by like means, though originally you might have intended nothing of the sort.

Augustine: The Lord here forbids his disciples to have lawsuits with others for worldly property. Yet as the Apostle allows such kind of causes to be decided between brethren, and before arbiters who are brethren, but utterly disallows them without the Church, it is manifest what is conceded to infirmity as pardonable.

Gregory the Great: There are, who are so far to be endured, as they rob us of our worldly goods; but there are whom we ought to hinder, and that without breaking the law of charity, not only that we may not be robbed of what is ours, but lest they by robbing others destroy themselves. We ought to fear much more for the men who rob us, than to be eager to save the inanimate things they take from us. When peace with our neighbour is banished the heart on the matter of worldly possessions, it is plain that our estate is more loved than our neighbour.

Augustine: The third kind of wrongs, which is in the matter of labour, consists of both such as admit restitution, and such as do not—or with or without revenge—for he who forcibly presses a man's service, and makes him give him aid against his will, can either be punished for his crime, or return the labour. In this kind of wrongs then, the Lord teaches that the Christian mind is most patient, and prepared to endure yet more than is offered; If a man constrain thee to go with him a mile, go with him yet other two. This likewise is meant not so much of actual service with your feet, as of readiness of mind.

Chrysostom: The word here used signifies to drag unjustly, without cause, and with insult.

Pseudo-Chrysostom: Because wealth is not ours but God's; God would have us stewards of His wealth, and not lords.

Encyclia

 * Encyclia is also a Greek term for the Codex Encyclius

Encyclia is a genus of orchids. The genus name comes from Greek enkykleomai ("to encircle"), referring to the lateral lobes of the lip which encircle the column. It is abbreviated as E. in the horticultural trade.

Biology
The epiphytic genus Encyclia occurs in Florida, the Caribbean, Mexico, and other regions of the tropical Americas. It grows in lowland forests at altitudes up to 1000 meters. The distribution of the species is more or less evenly spread throughout this area. Most of these species are found in seasonally dry forests where the humidity tends to remain high throughout the year, though precipitation is infrequent, sometimes lacking for months. They are most common in dry oak forests.

Most species have stiff, drought-resistant leaves and large onion-shaped pseudobulbs. The flowers arise from an apical inflorescence. This genus is pollinated by bees and birds. There are normally eight pollinia, but in some subgroups this is reduced to four. One species, Encyclia cyperifolia, produces cylindrical, terete leaves.

Cultivation
Many species in this genus are cultivated as ornamental plants. The flowers may last over a month. They are easily overwatered and require only a periodic misting during the winter.

Some species are fragrant; Encyclia fragrans produces vanilla-scented flowers.

The plants have continuously growing rhizomes that eventually create a large mass. In the wild the plants shed the older pseudobulbs. In cultivation they may fail to split, so growers will divide them by hand to prevent the plants from forming unwieldy mounds. An exception is Encyclia tampensis, which does well in a mounded form and does not need to be divided.

Taxonomy
Cladistic research has shown that Encyclia sensu stricto is monophyletic. This genus was originally included in Epidendrum until William Jackson Hooker separated it in 1828.

The genera Euchile, Prosthechea and Dinema were separated from Encyclia based on morphological analysis. Sulpitia Raf. is a synonym of Encyclia.

Encyclia can hybridize with related genera. E. tampensis is often bred for its attractive hybrids.

Species
See List of Encyclia species.

Unplaced species include Encyclia amicta, syn. Epidendrum amictum.

Iodine clock reaction

The iodine clock reaction is a classical chemical clock demonstration experiment to display chemical kinetics in action; it was discovered by Hans Heinrich Landolt in 1886. The iodine clock reaction exists in several variations, which each involve iodine species (iodide ion, free iodine, or iodate ion) and redox reagents in the presence of starch. Two colourless solutions are mixed and at first there is no visible reaction. After a short time delay, the liquid suddenly turns to a shade of dark blue due to the formation of a triiodide–starch complex. In some variations, the solution will repeatedly cycle from colorless to blue and back to colorless, until the reagents are depleted.

Hydrogen peroxide variation
This method starts with a solution of hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid. To this a solution containing potassium iodide, sodium thiosulfate, and starch is added. There are two reactions occurring simultaneously in the solution.

In the first, slow reaction, iodine is produced:

 * H2O2 + 2 I- + 2 H+ → I2 + 2 H2O

In the second, fast reaction, iodine is reconverted to two iodide ions by the thiosulfate:

 * 2 S2O3(2-) + I2 → S4O6(2-) + 2 I-

After some time the solution changes color to a very dark blue, almost black.

When the solutions are mixed, the second reaction causes the iodine to be consumed much faster than it is generated, and only a small amount of iodine is present in the dynamic equilibrium. Once the thiosulfate ion has been exhausted, this reaction stops and the blue colour caused by the iodine – starch complex appears.

Anything that accelerates the first reaction will shorten the time until the solution changes color. Decreasing the pH (increasing concentration), or increasing the concentration of iodide or hydrogen peroxide will shorten the time. Adding more thiosulfate will have the opposite effect; it will take longer for the blue colour to appear.

Aside from using sodium thiosulfate as a substrate, cysteine can also be used.

Iodide from potassium iodide is converted to iodine in the first reaction:

2 I- + 2 H+ + H2O2 → I2 + 2 H2O

The iodine produced in the first reaction is reduced back to iodide by the reducing agent, cysteine. At the same time, cysteine is oxidized into cystine.

2 C3H7NO2S + I2 → C6H12N2O4S2 + 2 I- + 2 H+

Similar to thiosulfate case, when cysteine is exhausted, the blue color appears.

Iodate variation
An alternative protocol uses a solution of iodate ion (for instance potassium iodate) to which an acidified solution (again with sulfuric acid) of sodium bisulfite is added.

In this protocol, iodide ion is generated by the following slow reaction between the iodate and bisulfite:

 * IO3- + 3 HSO3-  →  I-  + 3 HSO4-

This first step is the rate determining step. Next, the iodate in excess will oxidize the iodide generated above to form iodine:

 * IO3- + 5 I-  + 6 H+  →  3 I2  + 3 H2O

However, the iodine is reduced immediately back to iodide by the bisulfite:

 * I2 + HSO3-  + H2O  →  2 I-  + HSO4- + 2 H+

When the bisulfite is fully consumed, the iodine will survive (i.e., no reduction by the bisulfite) to form the dark blue complex with starch.

Persulfate variation
This clock reaction uses sodium, potassium or ammonium persulfate to oxidize iodide ions to iodine. Sodium thiosulfate is used to reduce iodine back to iodide before the iodine can complex with the starch to form the characteristic blue-black color.

Iodine is generated:

 * 2 I- + S2O8(2-) → I2 + 2 SO4(2-)

And is then removed:

 * I2 + 2 S2O3(2-) → 2 I- + S4O6(2-)

Once all the thiosulfate is consumed the iodine may form a complex with the starch. Potassium persulfate is less soluble (cfr. Salters website) while ammonium persulfate has a higher solubility and is used instead in the reaction described in examples from Oxford University.

Chlorate variation
An experimental iodine clock sequence has also been established for a system consisting of iodine potassium-iodide, sodium chlorate and perchloric acid that takes place through the following reactions.

Triiodide is present in equilibrium with iodide anion and molecular iodine:

 * I3- I2 + I-

Chlorate ion oxidizes iodide ion to hypoiodous acid and chlorous acid in the slow and rate-determining step:

 * ClO3- + I- + 2 H+ → HOI + HClO2

Chlorate consumption is accelerated by reaction of hypoiodous acid to iodous acid and more chlorous acid:

 * ClO3- + HOI + H+ → HIO2 + HClO2

More autocatalysis when newly generated iodous acid also converts chlorate in the fastest reaction step:

 * ClO3- + HIO2 → IO3- + HClO2

In this clock the induction period is the time it takes for the autocatalytic process to start after which the concentration of free iodine falls rapidly as observed by UV–visible spectroscopy.

Daniel Penfield

Daniel Penfield (1759 – 1840) was an American merchant and Revolutionary War veteran who is best known for founding the Monroe County town of Penfield, New York.

Biography
Born on April 25, 1759, to Isaac and Esther Hurlburt Penfield in Guilford, Connecticut, Penfield served as a clerk in the commissary department under Oliver Phelps during the Revolutionary War. The family moved to Hartland, Connecticut, prior to the war and later to Granville, Massachusetts.

About 1784, Penfield married Mary Fellows (born September 10, 1762), daughter of John and Mary Ashley Fellows. General Fellows served as an aide-de-camp to George Washington. The couple bore five children: Henry (born July 18, 1785), Harriet (born May 12, 1787), Charlotte (born May 22, 1791), Mary Jane (born 1794), and George (born November, 1797). Shortly after marrying, the couple moved to Hillsdale, New York, and opened a general store. The store was burnt by an angry mob during Shays' Rebellion, so the couple moved to New York City sometime around 1789. Penfield became owner of a "lucrative commission business" and began making speculative land purchases of tracts in present-day Wayne County, New York, in 1790 and present-day Perinton, New York, in 1792. Penfield bought his first parcel in the present-day town of Penfield on February 4, 1795. Penfield opened another general store in Claverack, New York, and maintained homes in Hudson, New York, and New York City. He kept these properties until Embargo Act of 1807 severely curtailed his commission business, prompting his decision to move to his Western New York lands in 1809. Penfield contracted with carpenters from Albany, New York, to build his homestead in 1811. The house still stands today at 1784 Penfield Road. Over the years, he built or controlled several mills on Irondequoit Creek, including a sawmill, grist mill, distillery, ashery, oil mill, soap mill, clothing mill, and tannery. Penfield owned several African-American slaves until slavery was abolished in New York in 1827. Penfield spoke at the ceremonies welcoming the Marquis de Lafayette during his visit of June, 1825. His last commercial undertaking, a five-story flour mill, built in 1835, failed in part due to the Panic of 1837.

Penfield died on August 24, 1840, and was interred next to his wife (who died August 18, 1828) in Oakwood Cemetery in Penfield, New York.

Legacy
The Town of Penfield, New York and Penfield Road are both named after Penfield. Penfield Street in the Wakefield, Bronx section of the Bronx was also named for him and his family, who once were owners of a mansion located on White Plains Road between what is now Penfield Street and East 242nd Street.

Talk:Krang

Dalek
I wonder if Krang might could have been a Dalek.
 * I never saw that they had anything in common. --Ritchy 15 October 2005
 * They have much in common, their need to exterminate (krang the world/the ninjas. Daleks, everything). They are plain ugly (just some meat).
 * I disagree. Krang isn't trying to exterminate the world, he's trying to take it over. Their physical appearances are quite different - Krang's a brain, the Daleks are formless masses.  Their robotic suits are completely different.  And as a side-note, please sign your posts. -- Ritchy 22:28, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

It says here that Krang isn't a Utrom.

However, I remember one time that Krang is having a flashback, and recalls a previous memory in which he is working together with other beings who are physically like him. If those aren't the Utroms, then what are they?

 * The Utroms do not have a body. Krang several times said he used to have a body, and it got taken away from him when he was exiled from Dimention X. The Krang clones had bodies and looked nothing like Utroms. And the Utroms do not come from Dimention X. The flashback you mention is the only exception, and it is more of a continuity error than anything else. These points are all already discussed in the article. -- Ritchy 19:19, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I like the notion of him being a Dalek though, and think it would do well if one were to ever write a crossover between TMNT and Doctor Who. Except one thing --- if he were a Dalek, his goal wouldn't be to "destroy" the Turtles, but to "exterminate" them. ;)

If it helps, the Kraang from the 2012 series are kind of like the Borg from Star Trek with their hive mind mentality Booger-mike (talk) 18:07, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Where did Shredder meet Krang?
Is this ever explained anywhere? The first time we see him the 87 cartoon series is with shredder when he calls him to his room in the technodrome. I wonder where they met and how. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.217.147.41 (talk) 01:37, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It was never explained in the animated series or Archie comics. It's seen in the "Out of the Shadows" film, but that's another reality (a series which didn't exist back in August 2008). J 1982 (talk) 20:43, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Smash Up version?
In the new game coming out, there is a character called the Utrominator. In fact, one of the creator's said that this is Krang's upgraded character (albeit the actual Utrom version of Krang that made a cameo in the 2003 series).

Rewrite of the entire article
The article contains outdated, incomplete and false information. It also puts emphasis on rather trvial information and seems to be written from a rather biased perspective. I'd suggest the biography section ought to be condensed into a section about his role in the Fred Wolf animated series and a basic description section of the character that fits more versions of him would probably be good to put above it. The comparison to the utroms seems like it can be written into the article in a more organic way and it doesn't seem like it needs it's own section anymore, as most material after the 90's depicts the character as an utrom anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abradrake (talk • contribs) 12:25, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Boursa Kuwait

Boursa Kuwait Securities Co., is the private-sector corporate owner and operator of the Kuwait Stock Exchange (KSE), the national stock market of Kuwait.

History
Although several share holding companies (such as National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) in 1952) existed in Kuwait prior to the creation of the Kuwait Stock Exchange, it was not until October 1962 that a law was passed to organize the country's stock market. In April 1977, the stock exchange was initiated, and it was named as the Kuwait Stock Exchange (KSE) in 1983.

The stock market in Kuwait is regulated by four bodies: the KSE, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Kuwait.

On April 24, 2016, the Kuwait Stock Exchange became fully operated by a private company and its name changed to Boursa Kuwait, making it the only stock exchange in the Middle East owned by the private sector.

On September 14, 2020, the Boursa Kuwait Securities Co. was listed on Boursa Kuwait, becoming a self-listed exchange.

Boursa Kuwait was a member of the Federation of Euro-Asian Stock Exchanges.

Bombardier Electrostar

The Bombardier Electrostar (sold as the ADtranz Electrostar until 2001) is a family of electric multiple-unit (EMU) passenger trains manufactured by Bombardier Transportation (formerly Adtranz) at their Derby Litchurch Lane Works in England between 1999 and 2017. It has become the most common new EMU type in the United Kingdom since the privatisation of British Rail with a number of variants. Electrostar trains are most common on high-volume suburban commuter routes around London; and on mainline services from London south to Surrey and the south coast, east to Essex, and north to Cambridge and Stansted Airport.

The model shares the same bodyshell and core structure as the Bombardier Turbostar which is the most common post-privatisation diesel multiple unit (DMU) family; both evolved from the Class 168 Clubman design by ADtranz. The Turbostar and Electrostar platforms are a modular design, sharing the same basic bodyshell and core structure, and optimised for speedy manufacture and easy maintenance. A common underframe, created by seam-welding a number of aluminium alloy extrusions, is covered by body panels and topped by a single piece roof, again made from extruded sections. Car ends (cabs) are made from glass-reinforced plastic and steel, and are bolted onto the main car bodies. Underframe components are collected in "rafts" which are bolted into slots on the underframe. The predominantly aluminium-alloy body gives light weight to help acceleration and energy efficiency.

The Electrostar was selected for use on the Gautrain system in South Africa, a new railway between Johannesburg, Pretoria, and the Johannesburg International Airport. The trains were assembled by UCW Partnership in South Africa from components made in Derby.

Transport for London (TfL) announced in August 2006 that it had ordered 48 three- and four-car Electrostar trains for the new London Overground service. These were categorised by Network Rail as Class 378, and entered service in 2009 to replace the Class 313 and Class 508 trains on the North London Line and West London Line, and to provide the opening service on the new East London line extension in 2010.

In 2009, as part of the government's wider rolling stock plan, an order was placed for thirty four-car Class 379 Electrostar units intended for use by National Express East Anglia (now operated by Greater Anglia) on the Stansted Express and West Anglia services. The first of these units entered passenger service on Thursday 3 March 2011.

Production of the trains ended in 2017 when unit number 387174 for Great Western Railway was completed at Derby Litchurch Lane Works. The family was superseded by the Bombardier Aventra.

c2c
c2c uses Class 357 on services down the London, Tilbury and Southend line from Shoeburyness and Southend to London Fenchurch Street.

Southeastern
The Class 375 is the backbone of Southeastern's long-distance routes, seeing services on most of its lines originating from its London termini (London Victoria, Charing Cross, Cannon Street and London Bridge) including;
 * Chatham Main Line
 * Maidstone East Line
 * Medway Valley Line
 * South Eastern Main Line
 * Hastings Line
 * Ashford to Ramsgate (via Canterbury West) line
 * Kent Coast Line
 * North Kent Line
 * Mid Kent Line

On the outer suburban portions of these above routes, the Class 377/5 Electrostars and the Class 465/9 Networkers support the Class 375 Electrostars, but they do not work in multiple together.

The Class 376 operates on the metro routes in suburban London, in conjunction with the Class 707 Desiro Cities, Class 465 and Class 466 Networkers, operating over the London portion of the above lines from the London Termini (including Blackfriars) out to Dartford and Sevenoaks);

 * North Kent Line (to Gravesend)
 * Bexleyheath Line (to Dartford)
 * Dartford Loop Line (to Dartford)
 * South Eastern Main Line (to Sevenoaks)
 * Hayes Line

This leaves the Bromley North Line, operated by Class 465s (4 car Networkers). The Bromley North Line, Sheerness Line and Medway Valley Line used to be operated exclusively by the Class 466s (2 car Networkers) prior to the introduction of accessibility regulations in January 2020.

Southern
Southern's Class 377 fleet is found on all parts of the network apart from the non-electrified routes. They frequent metro routes, formerly alongside the Class 455s, until the latter's withdrawal in 2022, and Class 456s until they transferred to South West Trains in 2014.

Main lines

 * Brighton Main Line (Victoria–Gatwick and Brighton)
 * East Coastway (Brighton–Eastbourne, Hastings and Ore)
 * West Coastway (Brighton–Portsmouth and Southampton)
 * Arun Valley Line (Victoria–Horsham, Littlehampton and Chichester)
 * West London Line (Clapham Junction–Watford Junction) (Using Class 377/2 or Dual Voltage Class 377/7)

Outer suburban

 * London Victoria–Horsham via Dorking
 * London Victoria–East Grinstead
 * London Bridge–Horsham via East Croydon
 * London Victoria-Reigate
 * Redhill-Tonbridge

Suburban
Often found on
 * London Victoria–Dorking via Sutton
 * London Victoria–Epsom Downs
 * London Bridge-London Victoria via Sydenham
 * London Bridge-Caterham
 * London Victoria-Caterham
 * London Victoria-Epsom
 * London Bridge-Tattenham Corner

London Overground
London Overground operates Class 378s over four lines of its six around London:
 * North London Line (Richmond–Stratford via Willesden Junction)
 * West London Line (Clapham Junction–Willesden Junction via West Brompton, and continuing on the North London Line to Stratford)
 * East London Line (Crystal Palace, New Cross or West Croydon–Dalston Junction and Highbury & Islington via Canada Water)
 * South London Line (Clapham Junction–Peckham Rye, and continuing on the East London Line to Dalston Junction)

Gautrain (South Africa)
On 8 June 2010, the route between Sandton and OR Tambo International Airport in South Africa opened in time for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The rest between Johannesburg Park Station and Rosebank was to be completed in 2011. This section was actually opened 7 June 2012, the delay caused by work to resolve a water-seepage problem in the single-track tunnel section between Rosebank and Park. Although railways in South Africa use the Cape gauge, Gautrain is built to the more expensive standard gauge of. According to the Gautrain planning and implementation study, this is done for several reasons, including that standard gauge is safer and more comfortable to passengers. The rolling stock is also easier, quicker and less expensive to obtain than Cape Gauge rolling stock, and standard gauge is also less expensive to maintain as it is more tolerant of track imperfections than Cape Gauge. Standard gauge allows for travel at Gautrain's required speed of 160 km/h.

Great Western Railway
From September 2016 Great Western Railway introduced 45 4 car Class 387/1s on peak services between London Paddington and Hayes & Harlington. They currently replace the Class 165s and the Class 166s on the Thames Valley services and now operate between London Paddington and Reading, Didcot Parkway and Newbury.

GWR announced in 2018 that they will modify 12 units to be used on Heathrow Express due to the Class 332s no longer having a depot.

In December 2019, some services to Reading transferred to TfL Rail as part of the Elizabeth line.

Great Northern
From late 2016, 29 of the Class 387/1s operating on Thameslink were displaced by the delivery of Class 700 Desiro City units, and were transferred to Great Northern. They operate mostly on the Kings Cross-Cambridge-King's Lynn route, though they can also been seen on other services. These units were delivered in the livery of Southern, with green doors and Southern upholstery.

Matthew 5:41

Matthew 5:41 is the forty-first verse of the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament and is part of the Sermon on the Mount. This is the fourth verse of the antithesis on the commandment: "Eye for an eye".

Content
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:
 * And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

The World English Bible translates the passage as:
 * Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.

The Novum Testamentum Graece text is:
 * καὶ ὅστις σε ἀγγαρεύσει μίλιον ἕν, ὕπαγε μετ’ αὐτοῦ δύο.

For additional translations see.

Analysis
The word here translated as compel, angareuo, is a Persian loan word that is a technical term for the Roman practice of requisitioning local goods or labour. Schweizer notes that it specifically refers to the power of the Romans to demand that a local serve as a guide or porter. Later at Matthew 27:32 Simon of Cyrene will be forced by such rules to carry Jesus' cross, the only other time in the New Testament the word translated as compel is used. The Zealots loathed this practice, and their refusal to participate in such tasks was an important part of their philosophy and a cause of the First Jewish–Roman War. According to R. T. France, these commands would have shocked the Jewish audience as Jesus' response to the Roman occupation was starkly different from the other Jewish activists of the period. Jesus says nothing about the propriety of such demands, Schweizer notes that Jesus simply accepts it as fact. Thomas Aquinas wrote that this verse implies that it is reasonable to follow laws that are unjust, but argued that laws that are unconscionable must not be obeyed.

The word here translated as mile refers to the Roman definition of 1000 paces, slightly shorter than a modern mile. The mile was a specifically Roman unit of measure, locally the stadion was used to measure length. Miles would only have been used by the imperial government and the local occupying forces, which further links this verse with imperial repression. This verse is the origin of the English phrase "going the extra mile," which means to do more than is expected. See The Extra Mile (disambiguation) for its usage in popular culture.

Hormidium

Within the Orchidaceae, Hormidium was originally a subgenus of the genus Epidendrum, but was later raised to a full genus. It is now considered not to be distinct from the genus Prosthechea, of which it is a synonym. Most of the species of Hormidium have been transferred to Prosthechea, although others are now classified in Encyclia, Epidendrum, Homalopetalum, and Lepanthes.

Taxonomy
In 1841, John Lindley used the name Hormidium for one of the subgenera into which he divided the genus Epidendrum. He described the subgenus as having pseudobulbous stems, sessile flowers and with the lip (labellum) of the flower joined (adnate) to the column. Later, in 1861, Heinrich Reichenbach concluded that the subgenus Hormidium was superfluous.

In 1883, George Bentham and Joseph Hooker raised Hormidium to a full genus. They distinguished Hormidium from the other pseudobulbous species of Epidendrum with at least a partially adnate labellum, and specifically mentioned only four species, two of which are now retained in Epidendrum, one which is now placed in Homalopetalum, and one which is now placed in Lepanthes. Because the genus Encyclia features non-adnate labella, and because the genus Prosthechea features labella which are only partially adnate (and therefore do not quite meet Lindley's criteria for Hormidium), Bentham and Hooker's description is useful:

 * "The plant is a small epiphyte. The pseudobulbs and rhizome are covered with membranaceous sheathes. The pseudobulb bears one or two small leathery or fleshy leaves. The flowers are small (or larger, in the case of Hormidium sophronitis), born on a short raceme.  The floral bracts are small. The sepals are of equal lengths, partially closed or completely open, the dorsal sepal free at the rear and the lateral sepals adnate to the base of the column forming a small "ladle".  The petals are similar to the sepals or very narrow. The labellum is adnate to the column to its apex with completely erect lamina, either trilobate or lacking any divisions.  The column is short with a dilated margin.  The clinandrium is short and truncated. The terminal, operculate, slightly kidney-shaped anther leans against the column and carries four pollinia.  The flattened egg-shaped pollinia are distinct from each other."

Hormidium is now considered not to be distinct from the genus Prosthechea, of which it is a synonym. Most, but not all, of the former species of Hormidium have been transferred to Prosthechea.

Species and synonymy
The following species have at one time or another been placed in the genus Hormidium but are now placed in different genera:

 * H. almasii (Hoehne) Brieger = Prosthechea glumacea

Talk:Literary redaction

Links to articles in non-english wikipedias are wrong
There is something wrong with the language links. Several of the entries (at least the german, danish, norwegian and swedish) are on the subject of newsrooms/editors. In the scandinavian languages they are called “redaktioner” and while editors “redact” the news in the old sense of the word, it is clearly wrong to link between the word "redact" and “redaktion”. Could someone please check if any of the entries in other languages are misplaced as well before reordering the entries?90.184.255.144 (talk) 00:25, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Compilations and Anthologies
If an editor collects a series of short stories by varying authors with a similar theme, and collects them into a compilation or anthology and adds some introductions and editor's notes, is this considered redaction? 209.212.22.30 (talk) 23:18, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Computer-related redaction
Note that the sanitization entry already contains much of this information. Rick Smith 21:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Sources, please?
I haven't been able to find any source defining 'redaction' so narrowly as it is here. The definitions I can find say that 'to redact' means 'to edit' or 'to prepare for publication'. This would include merging two or more primary sources, as is described in the article, but it wouldn't exclude other edits. A source would be helpful. In addition, a few sources to support the existence of, or examples of, redactions that have been made to make the material fit the editor's opinion would be helpful. -- Super Aardvark 19:40, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

redaction
legal sense

in the legal sense [USA], documents are treated by redaction by blocking out or obliterating from visibility - as with a black marker, the text of items or parts that should be kept out of evidence in a case. Such documents are said to be "redacted" in preparation for submission into evidence in the case.

Is this really a "legal sense", or a US government euphemism for censorship? When was redacted first used to mean censor, or at least delete parts (that the editor didn't want released), rather than edit?JohnC (talk) 05:23, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

I have only ever heard this word used by this definition, as censored documents. This article seems to completely ignore this definition. Webster's online dictionary also only uses the censored material definition.Promontoriumispromontorium (talk) 11:30, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

The definition here is correct. To redact is to edit. The American regime however misuses "Redacted" as a euphemism for censorship. Quite different!

Still a stub?
Is it really still just a stub? It looks a lot better than most stubs!

Everyday usage
On a forum that I frequent, one poster wrote about needing to "empty 22 years of s*it out of my house".

A second article?
The term "redaction" has (at least) two meanings that are quite distinct from each other. The first is the "compiling from multiple sources" idea, which this article was originally describing. The second is the more recent use closer in meaning to "censorship of a single source", familiar in the West from various political events.

This article tries to describe both these two quite different concepts. It is already confused. If further expansion takes place in either of these descriptions, this will only get worse. I propose, therefore, separating the censorship-related material into a separate article. The resulting two articles would, of course, cross-reference each other.

Feline Hymnic (talk) 23:14, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

And if we do separate out the second article, here's a potentially useful image from an earlier version of the article. Feline Hymnic (talk) 23:52, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Matthew 5:42

Matthew 5:42 is the forty-second verse of the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament and is part of the Sermon on the Mount. This is the fifth and last verse of the antithesis on the command: "Eye for an eye".

Content
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:
 * Give to him that asketh thee, and from him
 * that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

The World English Bible translates the passage as:
 * Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn
 * away him who desires to borrow from you.

The Novum Testamentum Graece text is:
 * τῷ αἰτοῦντί σε δός,
 * καὶ τὸν θέλοντα ἀπὸ σοῦ δανίσασθαι μὴ ἀποστραφῇς.

For a collection of other versions see BibleRef Matthew 5:42

Analysis
This verse is most often seen as a command to be charitable and it is quite similar to, but while that verse commands believers to give, this one simply states that they should not refuse requests ("lend, hoping for nothing again"). As with other parts of the Sermon on the Mount it is difficult to apply this verse literally, and no major Christian groups advocate such unrestricted charity. Luther argued the verse is restricted only to those who need assistance. Calvin states that generosity is important, but one should never be profligate.

A second interpretation of this verse is that it is not about charity, but rather against usury. The word borrow here is seen by some as a reference to the lending industry. Jesus is not stating that one should give money to anyone that asks, but rather that it is wrong to demand interest. Albright and Mann translate the last portion as "do not refuse one who is unable to pay interest."

Commentary from the Church Fathers
Jerome: If we understand this only of alms, it cannot stand with the estate of the most part of men who are poor; even the rich if they have been always giving, will not be able to continue always to give.

Augustine: Therefore, He says not, ‘Give all things to him that asks;’ but, Give to every one that asketh; that you should only give what you can give honestly and rightly. For what if one ask for money to employ in oppressing the innocent man? What if he ask your consent to unclean sin? We must give then only what will hurt neither ourselves or others, as far as man can judge; and when you have refused an inadmissible request, that you may not send away empty him that asked, show the righteousness of your refusal; and such correction of the unlawful petitioner will often be a better gift than the granting his suit.

Augustine: For with more benefit is food taken from the hungry, if certainty of provision causes him to neglect righteousness, than that food should be supplied to him that he may consent to a deed of violence and wrong.

Jerome: But it maybe understood of the wealth of doctrine: wealth which never fails but the more of it is given away, the more it abounds.

Augustine: That He commands, And from him that would borrow of thee, turn not away, must be referred to the mind; for God loveth a cheerful giver. (2 Cor. 9:7.) And every one that receives, indeed borrows, though it is not he that shall pay, but God, who restores to the merciful many fold. Or, if you like to understand by borrowing, only taking with promise to repay, we must understand the Lord's command as embracing both these kinds of affording aid; whether we give outright, or lend to receive again. And of this last kind of showing mercy it is well said, Turn not away, that is, do not be therefore backward to lend, as though, because man shall repay you, therefore God shall not; for what you do by God's command cannot be without fruit.

Pseudo-Chrysostom: Christ bids us lend but not on usury; for he who gives on such terms does not bestow his own, but takes of another; he looses from one chain to bind with many, and gives not for God's righteousness sake, but for his own gain. For money taken on usury is like the bite of an asp; as the asp's poison secretly consumes the limbs, so usury turns all our possessions into debt.

Song of the Sea

The Song of the Sea (שירת הים, Shirat HaYam; also known as Az Yashir Moshe and Song of Moses, or Mi Chamocha) is a poem that appears in the Book of Exodus of the Hebrew Bible, at. It is followed in verses 20 and 21 by a much shorter song sung by Miriam and the other women. The Song of the Sea was reputedly sung by the Israelites after their crossing the Red Sea in safety, and celebrates their freedom after generations of slavery and oppression by the Egyptians.

The poem is included in Jewish prayer books, and recited daily in the morning shacharit services. The poem also comprises the first ode or hymn of the Eastern Orthodox canon, where it is known as the Song or Ode of Moses. It is also used in the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and other Christian liturgies at the Easter Vigil when the history of salvation is recounted. These traditions follow Revelation 15:3 by calling it the "Song of Moses" (not to be confused with the Song of Moses in Deuteronomy).

In Judaism, the poem forms part of the sixteenth weekly Torah portion, or parshat Beshalach. The Sabbath on which it is read is known as Sabbath of the Song (שבת שירה). It is one of only two sections of the Sefer Torah (Torah scroll) that is written with a different layout from the normal simple columns. The other section written differently is the Song of Moses at the end of Deuteronomy, in the 53rd weekly portion, or parshat Ha'azinu.

Origin
The Song of the Sea is noted for its archaic language. It is written in a style of Hebrew much older than that of the rest of Exodus. A number of scholars consider it the oldest surviving text describing the Exodus, dating to the pre-monarchic period. An alternative is that it was deliberately written in an archaic style, a known literary device. As such, proposed dates for its composition range from the 13th to the 5th century BCE.

A study by Rabbi Joshua Berman found that the Exodus sea account is an appropriation of the Kadesh Poem of Ramesses II, based on a close textual analysis of both works. Berman asserts that the appropriation could have deliberate satirical intent, as part of an ideological battle with Ramesses II. Berman notes that the Kadesh illustrations also include an appearance of an Ark of the Covenant and Tabernacle which are in fact an Egyptian mobile altar, which traditionally were also golden boxes with winged Isis and Nephthys facing each other, and a space for a god's cartouche to be seated between them.

Page layout
The Ashkar-Gilson Manuscript is a fragment of a 7th or 8th century Torah scroll that contains the Song of the Sea. Some scholars have argued that the "brickwork" pattern of the Ashkar-Gilson version shows that the Masoretes accurately copied earlier manuscripts. This pattern was not used in the Dead Sea Scrolls. A similar pattern is used in modern Torah scrolls, and the Ashkenazi and Sepharadi Torah scrolls differ from the Yemenite scrolls in the arrangement of the very last line.

Ketuba of the Seventh Day of Pesah
The Ketubá del Seten Dia de Pesah (or כתובה ליום השביעי של פסח – Ketuba Le-yom Ha-shebi`i shel Pesah) is a liturgical poem in Ladino, describing Pharaoh's defeat in the Sea of Reeds. Most Jewish communities sing this poem on 21 Nisan, the seventh day of Passover. According to Jewish tradition, this is the day on which Pharaoh's army was drowned in the Sea of Reeds, and the Israelite people sang the Song of the Sea in gratitude for this victory.

Presumably, this text is called a ketuba ("marriage contract") because the relationship between God and the Jewish people is traditionally described as a marriage, and the splitting of the sea is considered to be an important event leading to that marriage, which ultimately took place 42 days later, at Mt. Sinai.

A tune for the Ladino poem along with the entire text itself can be found in Isaac Levy's Anthology of Sepharadic Hazzanut.

Musical settings
In Hebrew Cantillation, the Song is given a unique, festive tune, not bound to the ordinary trope marks.

The following settings exist for the Song of the Sea:

 * Cantique de Moïse (French) Étienne Moulinié.
 * Canticum Moysis (Latin) Fernando de las Infantas.
 * Cantemus Domino Ascanio Trombetti.
 * Part Three of Handel's 1739 oratorio Israel in Egypt, entitled Moses' Song.
 * Mirjams Siegesgesang (Miriam's Song of Triumph), Op. 136, D. 942 by Franz Schubert.

Some of the song features in the 1998 animated film The Prince of Egypt. The text consists of a few selected lines and paraphrases from the Hebrew text inserted in the bridge of the song "When You Believe".

Portions of the song are paraphrased in both of the melodic and textual variations of the popular African-American gospel music song, "O Mary Don't You Weep".

There needs to be disambiguation between Scott Reeder the bassist Kyuss and Scott Reeder the drummer from Fu Manchu. I'm not sure as to how to go about this. "Scott Reeder (bassist)|Scott Reeder" and "Scott Reeder (drummer)|Scott Reeder"? Or "Scott Reeder (Kyuss)|Scott Reeder" and "Scott Reeder (Fu Manchu)|Scott Reeder"? What is the proper wiki way of doing this? Druff 19:42, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, I think because Kyuss and Fu Manchu are both bands from similar geographical locations and of similar sounds, the distinction should be made based on instrument and not on band; also the disambiguation should be made soon! I'm willing to clean up the page, I think perhaps everything there should be blended together into one longer paragraph? AC 14:58, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Motorola International 3200

The picture uploaded by user Sultn is a thumbnail of the original found at Motorola, but we should be able to do better. Unfortunately, a Google image search doesn't yield any better images. Unless someone can find a public domain image, maybe we can get permission from Motorola to use a version of the one from their graphics archives.

After further research, I discovered that the picture isn't that of a Motorola International 3200. It's a DynaTAC 8000X from 1983. From the their web site:

"DynaTAC 8000X portable cellular phone, 1983. The world's first commercial handheld cellular phone, the Motorola DynaTAC phone, received approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in 1983. The 28-ounce handheld phone became available to consumers in 1984."

It was the *first* GSM phone. --67.71.1.173 23:48, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

In fact it was the "first GSM handphone". Sooner the Motorola company developed an International 1000 and 2000 GSM phones, but they were big (small siutcase) - portable. Another company Hagenuk developed MT-900 GSM hand-phone in the same year, so I'm not sure who was first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.102.252.6 (talk) 18:09, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Introduction
The first line says it was introduced in 1992, which can't possibly be correct...I'm changing it to 1982, unless someone else knows the date for certain. Super Jedi Droid 04:22, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

It did first appear in 1992 in the GSM version. This is not an analogue phone.

I own 2 International 3300's from 1993 and NO they cannot send an SMS. This is simply not true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.214.126.13 (talk) 00:04, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

The statement "It was preceded by the International 1000, which was the first GSM portable phone." is almost certainly not correct, depending how "first" is defined. In Europe a mobile phone could not be legally connected to any mobile network without first being "type approved". To my knowledge the first type approval certificate issued in Europe for a GSM phone was for the Orbitel TPU 900. The Motorola phone got its type approval certificate not long after. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephen.temple (talk • contribs) 09:10, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

WILL RECEIVE SMS BUT NOT SEND.
The Motorola Internaional 3200 and 3300 will not send SMS but can receive. They are both GSM from 1992-1993. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.214.126.13 (talk) 00:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Metal Slug

Metal Slug (メタルスラッグ) is a Japanese multimedia franchise and run and gun video game series originally created by Nazca Corporation before merging with SNK in 1996 after the completion of the first game in the series. Spin-off games include a third-person shooter to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the series and a tower defense game for the mobile platform. While originally created for Neo-Geo arcade machines hardware (MVS) and the Neo-Geo home game consoles (AES) hardware, the original games have also been ported to other consoles and mobile platforms throughout the years, with several later games created for various other platforms. The games focus on the Peregrine Falcon Squad, a small group of soldiers who fight against a rebel army, aliens, zombies, mummies and various other forces intent on world domination. Over the years since its debut, The franchise developed a small, but passionate cult following due to its unique visuals and slapstick humor.

Gameplay
The gameplay consists of run and gun elements as well as, in later releases, shoot 'em-up mechanics. The run and gun elements pit a player against many enemies with the aid of extremely powerful weapon pick-ups. In most run and gun games, contact with an enemy leads to damage. In this series, however, contact results in the opportunity to perform a melee attack and the opportunity for the enemy to perform a melee attack of his own, if he has one. The player's melee attack is also much stronger than most shots. This leads to the player's ability to run in and use melee attacks to take down a number of enemies at once, as well as the ability to quickly defeat enemies that can take plenty of damage, such as the mummies in Metal Slug 2.

The player starts with only a simple semi-automatic handgun (Metal Slug 6 and 7 used a fully automatic handgun in place of the stock semi-auto first used in every game including a spin-off); as the game progresses, the player may pick up new weapons. The player can only use one weapon at a time. When a new weapon is found, it replaces the previous one. Similarly, when ammunition runs out, the player reverts to using the handgun, which has unlimited ammunition. A new system was implemented with Metal Slug 6 allowing players to carry and switch between the handgun and two other weapons. The player is also equipped with grenades which can be thrown at enemies to cause more damage, however, the number of grenades is limited and must be replenished periodically with ammunition found along the way.

The SV-001 (SV being an abbreviation for "Super Vehicle") or 'Metal Slug' is the main vehicle of the Metal Slug franchise. It is a small, cartoonish silver-gray tank propelled by caterpillar treads. The tank is armed with one cannon which shoots powerful bombs in limited numbers, and twin vulcan cannons which shoot unlimited tracer bullets. The vehicle can jump and crouch. Crouching opens a hatch on the top of the tank through which grenades already in the player's possession can be thrown. The grenades remain independent of the cannon's ammunition system. The vehicle's bombs can also be replenished with ammunition boxes found along the way. The vehicle can run over infantry and perform a suicide attack, with the driver jumping clear and the tank ramming into and exploding upon the target. The vehicle can take three direct hits before it is destroyed, at which point a warning will be given to eject before the vehicle explodes. The enemy chaser variant has a shield that must be destroyed before the vehicle can be destroyed.

Over time, these specifications changed into any vehicle armed with a Vulcan cannon and a cannon variant suited to the role of the vehicle, and propelled suitably for that vehicle's environment. Some vehicles will only provide Vulcan cannons (which are more powerful than the handgun's bullets and are also unlimited), but neither special bombs (grenades must be used) nor armored protection to the player. In Metal Slug 6 (and the home version of Metal Slug X onwards), the playable character Tarma can lock the Vulcan cannons into one position and fire continuously.

Metal Slug games typically have 6 levels. The exceptions are Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug 5 and Metal Slug 6, which have 5, and Metal Slug 7, which has 7. In the Western arcade and console versions, the game had the blood censored, showing sweat in its place. However, there is a code to disable this censor within the BIOS of the Neo-Geo hardware both on the arcade and home ports respectively.

Setting
The first game's story involved the Peregrine Falcon (PF) Squad, a small but skilled team of soldiers serving under the Regular Army's special operations division, who fight against the army of General Donald Morden in order to prevent a massive coup d'état and the creation of a New World Order. Later games featured characters from the Sparrows Unit, which is under the control of the Regular Army's intelligence division. Beginning with Metal Slug 2, the PF Squad also battles an alien threat to Earth (the Mars People), as well as several other supernatural threats including yetis, zombies, ambulatory Venus flytraps, giant crabs, and mummies. These outlandish elements were removed from the fifth game to return to the feel of the original title. The fifth moved to the motif of modern guerrilla warfare, leaving only traces of the series' signature quirky humor and paranormal enemies, with the exception of the final boss. Metal Slug 6 returned to the plot of the first three installments, bringing back Morden's Rebel Army and the Mars People. Metal Slug 7 has less outlandish elements with the Mars People replaced by an alternative universe of Morden's Army with futuristic equipment and weapons.

Heroes
Major Marco Rossi (voiced by Takenosuke Nishikawa in NeoGeo Battle Coliseum and by Kenta Miyake in Neo Geo Heroes: Ultimate Shooting) and Captain Tarma Roving were the only playable characters in the first game, and each was reserved solely to the first and second player, respectively. From the second installment, characters can be chosen independently, and Sergeant 2nd Class members Eri Kasamoto and  Master Sergeant Fiolina "Fio" Germi were added to the cast. These four are typically considered to be the quintessential Metal Slug team. In the fourth game, Nadia Cassel and Trevor Spacey made their debut, replacing Eri and Tarma. They have not returned in later games, as they were created by the Korean-based Mega Enterprise and due to Playmore retaining intellectual rights to all SNK titles. Eri and Tarma returned in the fifth game. The Game Boy Advance edition of the game features two new characters specific to that title: PF squad trainees Cadets Walter Ryan and Tyra Elson. The King of Fighters/Ikari Warriors characters Colonel Ralf Jones and Second Lieutenant Clark Still have appeared since Metal Slug 6, and their King of Fighters teammate Leona Heidern is available as an extra downloadable character for Metal Slug XX, a revised edition of Metal Slug 7.

Enemies
General Donald Morden is the main antagonist of the Metal Slug franchise. He is depicted as a rambling madman wearing a beret, eyepatch, and wearing his army's uniform. In some games, he bears a passing resemblance to Saddam Hussein. He appears in every game except Metal Slug 5. He apparently mends his ways by the end of Metal Slug 6, as he (or Rootmars depending on the player(s)' chosen route) rescues the player(s) after they are knocked off a wall by an explosion caused by the alien end boss. His army is the main force of opposition in the Metal Slug games, with the exception of Metal Slug 5 and 6. He commands the Rebel Army, and in Metal Slug 4 he was thought to be behind the Amadeus Terror Syndicate. He once again returns to his roots of attempted world domination in Metal Slug 7, this time with the help of the Rebel Army from the future, also being the final boss for the first time since the original Metal Slug. Like the main characters, General Morden appears in various SNK games as a cameo, especially in the SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash series.

Allen O'Neil, a sub-boss, appears in all of the games except Metal Slug 5 and 6. He returns in Metal Slug 7. He uses an M60 machine gun, a knife, and grenades. Despite the fact that Allen is clearly killed at the conclusion of every encounter, the game makers have humorously brought him back in each new iteration of the series. Allen's son, Allen Jr., appears in Metal Slug Advance as the recruits' drill sergeant but later reveals himself as a double agent for the Rebel Army. He can be fought in the final mission as an optional boss.

The Mars People are aliens that are in a plot to take over Earth in the Metal Slug universe. They resemble squids, using their tentacles as a form of movement, and a strange fighting style that involves gas and a laser pistol. In Metal Slug 2, they appeared as enemies near the climax of the game, with their mother ship appearing as the final boss. They appear again in Metal Slug 3, abducting Morden and one of the members of the Regular Army in the final level (whichever one the player uses will be abducted), only for the Regular Army and Morden's army to take the fight to their mother ship and defeat them, and their leader Rootmars. In Metal Slug 6, the Mars People, Morden, as well as his rebel army, and the Ikari Warriors, join forces with the Regular Army to fight a new alien invader who feeds on the Mars People. In Metal Slug X they appear as enemies early in the game. Mars People also are the first characters from the Metal Slug series who appear in a fighting game: first in SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos as a hidden (but playable) character, and later in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum as an unlockable playable character.

Development
The aspect of the Metal Slug series was to create a simple, but exciting side-scrolling shoot-em-up game with an easy control scheme (one joystick and three buttons). The same team that created Metal Slug for the Neo-Geo previously created several games for Irem which have very similar graphics and gameplays, such as GunForce (1991), In the Hunt (1993) and Gunforce 2 (1994).

Some of the stock sound effects and sprites from Irem and The King of Fighters titles were used in the Metal Slug games. The music was composed by Takushi Hiyamuta (who is credited as Hiya!), a key member of the Nazca Corporation, which was acquired by SNK in 1996. The first 3 titles were developed by the Nazca team before SNK declared bankruptcy in October 2001, leading to the disbandment of the original team. Anticipating the collapse of SNK, the company Playmore was launched in August 2001, which became known as SNK Playmore in 2003, the year after Metal Slug 4 was released. Development on the series has since continued without the original staff, with Noise Factory handling 4, 5, 6, and 7.

Talk:Conduit current collection

France
The French langauge section contains an interesting photograph of conduit trackage being installed in a Parisian street.

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image%3ATram_VoieTramwayCaniveau_AvAntin.jpg

The caption is "Montage d’une voie de tramway à caniveau, avenue d’Antin. On notera la complexité du système. Une automotrice à vapeur circule sur une voie provisoire, à droite."

which in English could be translated as "Image of conduit tram trackage in Avenue D'Antin. One should note the complexity of the system. A self-powered steam tram passes by on the temporary trackage to the right".

Usage
"New York City had the largest installation of conduit cars" - does anyone have the track distance figures for London and New York?Shrdlu junction (talk) 01:47, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Sealed conduits in the 21st century
The system on Bordeaux is conductive, not inductive, right?203.214.4.49Febuary 2006

It is conductive in fact, but it is not a "sealed conduit"!! The third rail is flush with the street, but only energized when a tram is over it.

The nearest thing to a surviving conduit tramway
"The conduit systems in Berlin, Vienna and Budapest were very short-lived. All three were replaced by overhead working before World War I." Why was this, it's unfortunate becuase all three of these cities have retained trams and if they still had used conduit current collection in 1962 (when the Washington DC system closed) they almost certaily have eded up the last surving conduit tramways.Myrtone

"Trolleys"
The article says "In America the cars were sometimes popularly but incorrectly called trolleys, but did not typically draw power from overhead wire, as trolleys do." I'm not sure that this was in fact incorrect; trade publications and other technical sources used "underground trolley" for conduits and "overhead trolley" for the normal kind. --NE2 09:57, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

David Chudnovsky (politician)

David Chudnovsky (born 1949) is a Canadian politician. As a member of the British Columbia New Democratic Party (BC NDP), he served as the member of the Legislative Assembly for Vancouver-Kensington from 2005 to 2009. A teacher by training, he previously served as the president of the British Columbia Teachers' Federation (BCTF) from 1999 to 2002, representing the 45,000 public school teachers in British Columbia.

Life and career
Born in Toronto, Ontario, Chudnovsky grew up in a political household, and both his parents were union supporters. He attended York University, where he received a B.A. in history and political science. He then lived in London, England, for a year, and got a teaching job under the Inner London Education Authority. After returning to Canada, he enrolled in the University of Toronto's Faculty of Education, from which he received his Bachelor of Education degree.

He taught at Vincent Massey Collegiate Institute in Etobicoke for a couple years before getting laid off, then moved to British Columbia in 1978 where he began a teaching position at Bridgeview Community School in Surrey. He became involved in the Surrey Teachers’ Association, eventually serving as president for 2 years in the late 1980s. He was later elected member at-large of the BCTF's Executive Committee, and served as president from 1999 to 2002.

In the 2005 provincial election, Chudnovsky ran for the BC NDP against one-term incumbent BC Liberal candidate Patrick Wong in the riding of Vancouver-Kensington, winning the seat by 1,624 votes. In his only term in the BC legislature, he variously served as opposition critic for transportation, housing, and homelessness and mental health.

Chudnovsky decided not to seek re-election to the provincial legislature in the 2009 provincial election. In his final speech before the legislative assembly, Chudnovsky decried the petty partisanship and dysfunctionality of parliament, called for limits to party discipline, more bipartisan cooperation at committee level, and a form of mixed member proportional representation.

He turned his attention to municipal politics in Vancouver, becoming an executive with the Coalition of Progressive Electors (COPE) and chair of the party's fundraising committee. He then left COPE and joined R. J. Aquino in founding OneCity Vancouver in 2014.

Chudnovsky and his wife have two children. He served on the boards of Surrey-Delta Immigrant Services Society and the Charter for Public Education Network.
