Richard of Salerno

Richard of Salerno (c. 1060 – 1114), was a participant in the First Crusade and governor of the County of Edessa from 1104 to 1108. He was the cousin of Richard of Hauteville.

Biography
Richard was born around 1060, the third son of William of the Principate, a Norman count, and Maria, daughter of Guy, the Lombard duke of Sorrento. He was also one of the many nephews of Robert Guiscard and Roger I of Sicily and in his early life Richard participated with his two famous uncles to the conquest of Sicily.

In 1097, Richard joined his cousins, Bohemond of Taranto and Tancred, in their army on the First Crusade. Richard and Tancred were notable for being among the few Crusaders who could speak Arabic, an ability doubtlessly learned during the wars in Sicily, which had a strong Arab presence. Anna Komnene relates that when Richard crossed the Adriatic Sea, his ship was attacked and captured by the Byzantine fleet, who had mistaken him for a pirate. He was soon released and joined the main Crusader army marching through Bulgaria and Hungary. Along with Tancred, Richard refused to swear an oath of fidelity to the Byzantine emperor Alexius I Comnenus, preferring to cross the Bosphorus in secret.

Richard was one of the commanders at the Battle of Dorylaeum in the summer of 1097. Richard and Tancred joined Bohemund at the siege of Antioch. Richard was among those captured with Bohemund in 1100 when ambushed by the Danishmends at the Battle of Melitene. From there Richard was sent to the emperor Alexius, who imprisoned him in Constantinople before he was finally released in 1103. His cousin Tancred then appointed him governor of Edessa in the winter of 1104, a city which he ruled until 1108. He was bitterly hated by the citizens of Edessa for being ruthless and greedy. During this time, Richard also acted as a diplomat, traveling to France and Italy and arranging the marriage of Bohemund to the princess Constance of France. He was a witness of the 1108 Treaty of Devol. He also participated in the ultimately disastrous campaigns Bohemund waged against the emperor Alexius, but may have been secretly plotting with Alexius against Bohemund. After Bohemund's death in 1111, Richard retired to Marash, where he died in the great earthquake of November 29, 1114.

Family issue
By his wife Altrude, daughter of Emma of Hauteville and Odo the Good Marquis, he had a son His daughter
 * Roger of Salerno, who was the regent of the Principality of Antioch.
 * Maria married Joscelin I, Count of Edessa.

Talk:List of Thundercats Episodes

Episode name links
I've disambiguated one link that definitely pointed to something irrelevant (The Mountain is an article about a political group during the French Revolution). I suspect that most of the episode-name blue links are artifacts, pointing by coincidence to unrelated articles. Probably a lot more of these should be disambiguated. Or just removed as links, unless someone is actually going to write about individual episodes -- Jmabel | Talk 06:08, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Luvs

Luvs is a brand of disposable diapers made by Procter & Gamble. Luvs were sold as "Deluxe" diapers in the late 1980s. In 1994 they became budget diapers. The Luvs brand also includes baby wipes.

Brand history
In 1976, the brand was introduced, with help from astronaut Kenneth Buell.

In 1984, New Luvs were introduced with thicker padding.

A year later, Baby Pants were introduced.

Super Baby Pants were introduced in 1986 as well as extra large size.

Luvs Deluxe were introduced in 1987, a diaper that claims to be "so leak-resistant, it works overnight."

In 1989, Luvs Deluxe introduced single-sex diapers, differentiating the spot where boys and girls wet most.

In 1991, Luvs Phases were introduced.

In 1994, Luvs introduced the Dri-Weave, an absorbent material found in Always products. This was only used for a short while. The product became a budget brand.

In 1995, Luvs re-introduced unisex diapers.

In 1996, Luvs introduced the stretch diaper, a diaper that features the "elastic waistband".

In 1998, Barney the Dinosaur made his debut on Luvs diapers, in consideration to the theatrical release of Barney's Great Adventure. As part of a deal, Luvs diapers made a cameo in the movie.

In 1999, Luvs introduced the Size 6 & a new logo.

In 2000, Luvs SplashWear was introduced.

In 2001, Luvs Overnight Leakguards was introduced. Shortly thereafter Luvs began using a cloth-like cover.

In 2002, Luvs SleepDrys, disposable underpants for older children with bed-wetting problems was launched.

In 2004, Blue's Clues designs made their debut. At that point, the diapers were made with softer material and the Velcro tabs were more cloth-like. SleepDrys and SplashWear were discontinued.

In 2006, "The Change to Luvs Challenge" was first used in that year.

In 2007, Bear Hug Stretch was introduced, until 2008.

In 2010, Luvs introduced their blue monkey design and diamond pattern and started printing the size on the front of the diaper. The monkey was in different poses, depending on the diaper's size.

In 2016, Luvs edited their monkey design and made the diamonds larger. They also made the tabs purple instead of white at this point.

In 2018, Luvs discontinued the monkey design and replaced it with giraffes and pandas. Luvs adopted the color-changing wetness indicator at this point.

In 2020, Luvs changed their design to small stars, started putting words on their diapers, and released a Size 7.

In 2022, PAW Patrol designs made their debut in both normal and nighttime versions. The normal version was in all sizes and showed the pups popping out all over, whereas the nighttime version was in sizes 4-6 only and showed designs with the pups sleeping.

In 2024, Bluey designs made their debut in both normal and nighttime versions. Luvs added Size 7 to the nighttime designs, made their diapers softer, and created their "Platinum Protection".

Talk:Billy Mitchell (gamer)

Refutation of the Michael Zyda testimony
Apologies to M asem for apparently having violated Wikipedia rules. I understand the website "perfectpacman.com" is regarded as self-publishing, is that correct? I do not know who is behind that website, but perhaps it does not matter for the concern to apply? N.B., I submitted my "undo"-edit prematurely, before I could add the reason as to why I thought I had addressed the "primary source" concern, please accept my apologies for that.

I feel it should be possible to allow the reader to see the technical arguments provided by Tanner Fokkens as to why the Michael Zyda testimony is highly problematic, purely based on a technical analysis. Is there any proper way to accomplish that? If there currently is no proper way, what would have to happen to make it possible (e.g., would a newspaper have to report about the Fokkens refutation)?

BTW, I do not think that my reordering of the sentences should have been undone. I do not want to engage in a "do, undo, redo, rinse and repeat"-cycle so will not make any changes for now, but I believe my joining of the two sentences regarding the Twin Galaxies scores was an improvement and is not subject to the "primary source" and/or "direct SPS usage" concerns. May I attempt to reinstantiate my suggested reordering? class=A42 (talk) 19:55, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

 * We need to have the refuting document be covered in a reliable source to include. Zyda's statement is mentioned in reliable sources, so we can include mention of it. We'd need the same for Fokkens, which hasn't happened yet, as best as I can see. M asem (t) 20:00, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Twin Galaxies reinstatement
His scores on the Twin Galaxies website are not and will not be reinstated, that was not part of the recent settlement, the settlement was for defamation. ManBearJordan (talk) 02:32, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

 * This is being discussed in the discussion above. --Super Goku V (talk) 03:45, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * TG's letter says "Twin Galaxies shall heretofore reinstate all of Mr. Mitchell’s scores as part of the official historical database on Twin Galaxies’ website." They're not being reinstated as the current record holder lists, just a list for records before 2014. M asem (t) 13:22, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * It feels like people are deliberately trying to interpret the public statements here in a way that is unfavorable for Mitchell. Let's try to remain neutral here. The scores have been reinstated. Twin Galaxies' own language uses the word "reinstate." Mitchell says they are reinstated. Every reliable source says they're reinstated. While we do not know the exact terms of the settlement, the following things can be inferred from statements from both Twin Galaxies and Mitchell:
 * 1. Billy's scores have been acknowledged as legitimate by Twin Galaxies. Their last review of his scores has deemed them "verified." This was done by the old ownership of Twin Galaxies, but the new ownership has acknowledged these records as legitimate and archived them.
 * 2. Billy's scores do not appear on the "current" or "modern" leaderboards. However, their lack of appearance on these leaderboards appears to be from a mutual agreement from TG and Billy that Billy would remain banned. Thus, his scores are not deemed cheated or failing verification, but they are merely not considered for verification or displayed because Billy is banned from submitting scores.
 * So, in short, Billy's scores have been reinstated and are regarded as legitimate by Twin Galaxies, and the only official reason they aren't displayed on the "current" leaderboard is he is banned from the website. While Twin Galaxies has expressed that they think his scores are not valid, they have publicly declared them valid in an official capacity. They have acknowledged the old TG ownership and verification processes as legitimate and hosted the archive on their own website. Arguing how much Twin Galaxies cares or how much anyone should care about their archived scores is kind of a moot point. Legally speaking, they have been reinstated as legitimate as a result of the settlement, and until someone successfully brings Mitchell to trial for fraud and proves he cheated, those records will remain treated as legitimate world record submissions. 2001:558:6017:18C:145:9CCC:4D40:C01E (talk) 01:38, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't read all of it because it's too long but the fact remains they reinstated the fact that his score used to be there. A histocal record of the high scores, but his record is not currently accepted by Twin Galaxies. They have accepted that it was once on there and are allowing people to see that, but they have not "reinstated" his records, just the way back machine type recording of the fact it once existed.

 * I gave a valid reason not to read it all and gave another valid point about the subject. Please leave arrogance to social media platforms. This is meant to be an information website. 193.116.104.61 (talk) 03:02, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * No, you didn't. Something being too long is not a valid reason to ignore it on an "information website." It would have taken you about 60 seconds to read the entirety of my post. If your level of investment on this topic is so low that a minute is too much of your time, then whatever information you could share with anyone on this topic obviously isn't worth reading.
 * Perhaps take your own advice and learn that rudely and arrogantly opening with "tl;dr" is not a great way to engage someone in conversation. Unless you have some kind of actual point to make about the statements I put forward in my other post, then I won't fill this Talk section with pointless responses to your weak trolling attempts. 2001:558:6017:18C:145:9CCC:4D40:C01E (talk) 03:38, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Score “restoration”
Hi, please be aware, TG haven’t put Billy’s scores back in the ‘main’ database, they’ve put up a snapshot of the database from the time his scores were there. 2A04:4A43:4ABF:D8F2:F161:EEDC:C011:991E (talk) 10:58, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Twin Galaxies have reinstated Billy Mitchell's scores. They use the terminology reinstate, as does Billy, and as does every reliable source. You cannot "reinstate" a score to a leaderboard that never previously existed. The official language from Twin Galaxies suggests that Billy's scores were reinstated, considered verified at the time of their submission/verification dates, recognized as legitimate, and archived. Twin Galaxies has made no further rulings to these submissions or rejected them in any capacity. The reason they are not displayed on the 'main database' is because Billy is banned from submitting scores, and his ban was issued after the archive's end date. 2001:558:6017:18C:145:9CCC:4D40:C01E (talk) 12:05, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * And we've made clear that Mitchell's scores are not present in the current active leaderboards. And its clear that the historic database was the pre-2014 acquisition. I think we're reasonably clear here. M asem  (t) 13:04, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * If anything, the wording in the article is actually deliberately biased against Mitchell. I would have fixed it myself, but have long since forgotten the password to my Wikipedia account and the e-mail that it's tied to. Some examples:
 * -"He said he recaptured the world records for both Donkey Kong (1,062,800 points) and Donkey Kong Jr. (1,270,900) on the weekend of July 24, 2010." There shouldn't be any "he said" here any longer, just "He recaptured". Both TG and Guinness have reinstated his records, so at least in an official capacity, there is no current dispute about the legitimacy of his score from any major public entity.
 * -"In 2015, both these records were surpassed." Not really relevant information and lacks consistency with the rest of the scores. Either all of his scores should include notes of when they were surpassed or none of them.
 * -"Evidence was presented that the score was falsified. This makes it sound conclusive and factual, but it hasn't been legally established so it really shouldn't read like this. The entire line would read better as "The Donkey Kong record was removed by the Donkey Kong Forum in February 2018, which prompted Twin Galaxies to remove the records from their own leaderboards in April 2018 after their own investigation concluded. Twin Galaxies subsequently released a statement declaring that they believed Mitchell's score had been falsified based on evidence of various perceived inconsistencies between the gameplay and hardware behavior in Mitchell's submission compared to that of typical behavior present in other recordings of the game."
 * -"However, Guinness World Records reversed their decision and reinstated Billy Mitchell's previous world records." The section never stated Guinness removed them in the first place. This line can read "However, both Guinness World Records and Twin Galaxies reversed their decisions and reinstated Billy Mitchell's previous world records."
 * -"Due to Twin Galaxies disqualifying all of Mitchell's scores, none of these records are considered valid by Twin Galaxies although they have restored records listed in their historical database without acknowledging their authenticity." This is very misleadingly worded. Mitchell's scores are not disqualified, banned, rejected, or officially regarded as "invalid". Mitchell himself is banned from submitting scores. Twin Galaxies has reinstated his scores and considers them valid and verified. Neutral wording would be "Although Mitchell's scores have been officially reinstated by Twin Galaxies, they have openly expressed their personal opinion doubting their legitimacy. Mitchell remains banned from Twin Galaxies, and so his reinstated scores are not visible on the active leaderboard and are only visible on Twin Galaxies' historical archive."
 * I think it's a good idea to edit this wording in or something very similar so it comes off more neutral to the subject of the article. 2001:558:6017:18C:145:9CCC:4D40:C01E (talk) 18:13, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The wording of the article has been meticulously reviewed for neutral wording over the years, because there's a constant barrage of editors who either hate him and want to trash him, or love him and want to defend him. Masem and I are probably the only fully neutral editors who are consistently here without any agenda - he writes much of it, while I mediate discussions on the talk page. Sergecross73   msg me  18:23, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I assure you I am fully committed to neutrality myself, and it's part of the reason I came here to discuss this. Do you have any particular problems with the wording or issues I proposed in the previous text? If not, is there any reason not to make those changes or similar changes?
 * I want to be really clear about a misunderstanding a lot of people appear to have and this article currently reflects that confusion. There has only ever been one Twin Galaxies leaderboard. There is no "current leaderboard" and "archive leaderboard". It's been one continuously updated leaderboard. The historical archive is just the state of that leaderboard at a specific date. Twin Galaxies did not reinstate Billy's score to the archive; there WAS no archive that they removed his score from. Billy's score was removed from the Twin Galaxies' leaderboards and then it was reinstated to their leaderboards. The current status of Billy's scores is that they are reinstated and verified by Twin Galaxies, but they merely are not visible on the current leaderboards because he is banned.
 * I think wording like "Due to Twin Galaxies disqualifying all of Mitchell's scores, none of these records are considered valid by Twin Galaxies although they have restored records listed in their historical database without acknowledging their authenticity." is misleading in the extreme. First of all, they completely acknowledged the authenticity of the archive by hosting it. They may not WANT to acknowledge the authenticity of it, but they did as part of the settlement. They outright state in their public statement that they recognize it as official documented history. The very act of hosting and chronicling those scores is authenticating them. The scores are validated both in a historical context in the archive and in the context that Billy's scores on their leaderboards remain verified but disqualified due to his ban. Now, they're not REVISITING reviewing these scores and judging them according to modern verification methods, but that doesn't mean they're not authenticated.
 * Billy's submissions being disqualified on merit/validity and them being disqualified because he is just uniformly banned from competing without any stated reason are two completely different things and the article should clearly reflect that and I don't feel it currently does. I apologize for the length but I want to be as clear as possible with my wording here. 2001:558:6017:18C:145:9CCC:4D40:C01E (talk) 01:42, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * There was no current and archive leaderboard until this settlement and now there is with the archive being called the "Original TG Historical Database." You can look at Dragster from the Atari 2600 and see Todd Rogers' 05.51 from 2001 on the Historical Database as the record and 05.57 by multiple people on the current leaderboard as the record just like you can see the differences on the Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. scoreboards between the two.  --Super Goku V (talk) 02:55, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * While that archive exists now, it is an archive of the same leaderboard at a different date. It is not a separate leaderboard. 2001:558:6017:18C:145:9CCC:4D40:C01E (talk) 04:12, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * At the very top of "The Original TG Historical Database" is this disclaimer: This section of the Twin Galaxies website hosts a historical archive of the original score database, copied verbatim from the system obtained during Twin Galaxies' acquisition in 2014. It serves as an unmodified, legacy snapshot preserving performances and achievements predating the current TG ownership and modern adjudication protocols. As a matter of archival integrity and providing continuous access to records under previous administrative standards, this database remains static and sealed. No new submissions or alterations can be made, only original scores and titles retained as they existed upon ingestion in 2014. It stands as our commitment to custodianship of gaming's antiquity. Submit or view scores on the live modern version of the Twin Galaxies database here: [... ] It is effectively a separate leaderboard created from a specific date in the past as a historical record.  The fact remains that Mitchell's scores are excluded from the current leaderboard.  (In fact, If I were to agree with your definition that they are the same leaderboard, then I would have to say that Mitchell's scores were never restored as they are not on the leaderboard right now.  Does that clarify the problem better with your claim?)  --Super Goku V (talk) 04:37, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Nothing in the text you quoted differentiates it as a separate leaderboard. It is an archive and snapshot of the leaderboards they inherited. Twin Galaxies would LIKE to separate themselves from those scores, but they legally can't without actually battling it in court. They have no reason to state they reinstated Billy's scores at all if it were only applied to the archive; he was never "banned" from the archive to begin with. Billy's scores were removed from their leaderboards and he was banned from further submissions, and then later, as a result of the settlement, Twin Galaxies reinstated those scores, but his ban remained in place and that's why they don't show up on Twin Galaxies. The scores show up in the archive because it is a snapshot that does not retroactively apply the ban placed on Billy in 2018. It sounds like stupid semantics, and it is, but that's how it fell out for both parties so they were both satisfied. Billy can claim his scores were reinstated, Twin Galaxies can claim some integrity for their "current" leaderboard since Billy's suspect scores don't show up on them. 2001:558:6017:18C:145:9CCC:4D40:C01E (talk) 05:13, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * At the least we seem to agree with this part here and that works for me. As mentioned by Masem, there are certain things we cannot say due to not being explicitly stated.  Do you have a revised suggested wording change that might work for the article?  --Super Goku V (talk) 05:47, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I would say I think the wording on this needs the most attention:
 * "Due to Twin Galaxies disqualifying all of Mitchell's scores, none of these records are considered valid by Twin Galaxies although they have restored records listed in their historical database without acknowledging their authenticity."
 * Main issues being they have acknowledged the authenticity of the historical archive and Billy's scores in an official capacity, and the part near the beginning where it says "none of these records are considered valid by Twin Galaxies" could be misleading. I think better a better tone would be something like...
 * "Due to Twin Galaxies banning Mitchell, none of these records are currently displayed on the Twin Galaxies leaderboards, as his score submissions are disqualified. They are, however, officially recognized as authentic and displayed on their historical archive("an unmodified, legacy snapshot preserving performances and achievements predating the current TG ownership and modern adjudication protocols.") without subjecting them to modern verification processes or authenticity standards"
 * Can also add more about how Twin Galaxies, despite recognizing the score as legitimate in an official capacity, has openly expressed their doubt of their actual legitimacy if you want to weight it out properly. Is that fair? 2001:558:6017:18C:145:9CCC:4D40:C01E (talk) 06:45, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I think the NYT article partly covers the first sentence: Even so, Twin Galaxies said that Mr. Mitchell’s scores would not be added back to the main leaderboard that tracks ongoing records and that he was still banned from Twin Galaxies competition. That second sentence though is going to be a problem to source...  It might be better to just quote TG on this one to say something like, The historical archive "serves as an unmodified, legacy snapshot preserving performances and achievements predating the current TG ownership and modern adjudication protocols" according to Twin Galaxies,' which would make it easier to source.  Unless you have some source that says they are recognized as authentic or considered to be authentic or something else that is similar enough.  --Super Goku V (talk) 21:22, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Masem's edit seems to have made this a moot point. --Super Goku V (talk) 21:37, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * We still discuss that Mitchell is banned from further TG events, separately from identify his score restored to the pre-2014 historical archive. I can easily read between the lines of TG's statement in that they probably still think he cheated, but they were unlikely to prevail in court and the cost to continue that action outweighed this alternative, simply acknowledging the scores prior to 2014 and moving on with their current scoreboards that Mitchell will not be a part of. But we can't write it like that because that's not explicitly stated. M asem (t) 03:32, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * There are a few things I want to discuss about this:
 * - I agree that there is a problem with this sentence, but not in the way that you have with it. Your issue is that for consistency we should mention all or none of the score being surpassed.  (Aside: We do say "others have matched or surpassed Mitchell's scores" in the text.)  The problem with removal is that it is relevant.  The scores that were disqualified were not the top scores at the time of their removal.  This line makes that clear and gives readers more clarity that the issue wasn't with the Number 1 spot on the leaderboard at the time.  The issue I have with it is that the line initially mentioned that the two records were lost in September 2010 back when the article did mention all of the surpassed records.  In August of 2015, the lines were modified to read "As of 2015, both these records have been surpassed."  That led to a misunderstanding a few years later that implied the records were both surpassed in 2015 instead of 2010.  So, I will modify the wording and provide better sourcing for that line.  (Note: There is a technicality or two on the DK Jr. score, but that can be its own topic if it is a problem.  This article covers the record issue regarding the date and record itself.)
 * - We don't need to have things be "legally established." There are very few things on Wikipedia that require a court's decision before we mention or exclude something.  This isn't one of those cases.  Additionally, the Donkey Kong Forum (DKF) isn't considered to be notable on Wikipedia, hence why the article keeps mention of it limited and does not have any sources to DKF.  (As an example, we use Ars Technica as a source for DKF in the Notable scores section instead of using DKF as a direct source as a reliable source can cover a source we do not deem to be a reliable source.)

Rocky Aoki

Hiroaki Aoki (青木 廣彰), better known as Rocky Aoki, was a Japanese-American restaurateur, professional offshore powerboat racer and amateur wrestler. He was the founder of the Japanese cuisine restaurant chain Benihana, and Genesis magazine.

He was also the father of musician Steve Aoki and model and actress Devon Aoki.

Personal life
Hiroaki Aoki was born in Tokyo, the son of Yunosuke Aoki and his wife, Katsu. His family were descended from a samurai clan from Wakayama Prefecture, which served in the Kishū Domain.

Aoki and some friends started a rock and roll band called Rowdy Sounds, though Aoki eventually abandoned music for athletics. He would later explain, "I play bass. But I tell you why I change to wrestling: No good on tempo."

Aoki attended Keio University, where he competed in track and field, karate, and wrestling before being expelled for fighting. While some sources state that he competed for Japan in wrestling at the 1960 Summer Olympics held in Rome, he did not, as he had moved from Tokyo to New York City months before the Games.

Aoki was offered wrestling scholarships from several different American colleges. He attended Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts, and later transferred to CW Post College on Long Island. He won the United States flyweight wrestling title in 1962, 1963 and 1964.

In New York City, Aoki worked seven days a week in an ice cream truck that he rented in Harlem while studying restaurant management at New York City Community College.

Aoki, who was married three times, once said that he had "three kids from three different women at exactly the same time." He found out about the seventh with the third woman when he was sued for paternity. His third wife was Keiko Aoki, a businesswoman whom he married in 2002.

Before his death, he became a United States citizen.

Benihana
After he received his associate degree in management in 1963, he used the $10,000 he had saved from the ice cream business to convince his father to co-invest in the first Benihana, a four-table teppanyaki restaurant on West 56th Street. "Benihana", taken from the Japanese name for safflower, was suggested by Aoki's father. According to family legend, Aoki's father was walking through the bombed-out ruins of post-war Tokyo when he happened across a single red safflower growing in the rubble.

Genesis
In August 1973, Aoki launched Genesis, a softcore pornographic men's magazine, with two centerfolds each issue. The title changed hands several times, eventually becoming an explicit publication long after Aoki's period of ownership. Despite not enjoying the mainstream popularity of rivals Playboy and Penthouse, the magazine remained in activity for nearly 40 years.

Double Eagle V
Aoki partially funded and crewed the Double Eagle V, the first balloon to successfully cross the Pacific Ocean. The Double Eagle V launched from Nagashima, Japan, on November 10, 1981, and landed in Mendocino National Forest in California 84 hours and 31 minutes later. It traveled a record 5,768 mi. The Double Eagle V's four-man crew consisted of Rocky Aoki with Albuquerque balloonists Ben Abruzzo, Larry Newman, and Ron Clark. Overshadowed by the concurrent Space Shuttle mission STS-2, the Double Eagle V failed to attract the same degree of media attention as the earlier Double Eagle flights.

Powerboat racing
Aoki competed professionally as an offshore powerboat racer along with the 1986 APBA world champion Powerboat throttleman Errol Lanier, a former Fort Lauderdale, Florida, fireman who saved his life in a near-fatal powerboat crash in 1979 under the Golden Gate Bridge.

Despite several crashes and failures to finish due to damage to his boat or mechanical failures, Aoki was quite successful as an offshore racer, winning several races. He twice won the Benihana Grand Prix in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, sponsored by his own company - the second win came in 1982, three years after his devastating San Francisco crash. After injuries suffered in an accident later in the 1982 season, Aoki told sportswriters that he was leaving the sport.

Lawsuits
On June 9, 1998, Aoki was charged with insider trading and profiting by more than $590,000 from it. The U.S. Attorney's office in Brooklyn charged Aoki with six counts of insider trading and one count of conspiracy based on trading upon inside information about Spectrum Information Technologies Inc. According to the indictment, Aoki learned through Donald Kessler, a former stock promoter, inside information concerning Spectrum's imminent hiring of John Sculley, then-chairman of Apple Computer Inc., as the chairman of Spectrum, and bought 200,000 shares of Spectrum stock. That stock rose 46% the day that this hiring was publicized.

In 1999, Aoki pleaded guilty to insider trading charges and was fined $500,000 and given three years' probation. Aoki was placed in deportation proceedings as a result of his guilty plea/conviction, but was granted relief by an immigration judge and his permanent resident ("green card") status maintained. He eventually became a United States citizen.

In 2005, Aoki sued four of his children (Grace, Kevin, Kyle, and Echo) for an alleged attempt to take control of the companies he founded, which, at the time, had an estimated value between US$60–100 million.

Honors
Aoki was a recipient of the Award of Excellence from The International Center in New York. He was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1995.

Death
Aoki died on July 10, 2008, of pneumonia in New York City. At the time of his death, he had been suffering from diabetes, Hepatitis C, and cirrhosis of the liver. His hepatitis was reportedly the result of a blood transfusion after a 1979 speedboat crash under the Golden Gate Bridge.

At the time of his death, Aoki had seven children and was married to his third wife Keiko. These included musician Steve Aoki and actress-model Devon Aoki. Model and singer-songwriter Yumi Nu is his granddaughter. His grave is at the cemetery attached to Joshin temple in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo.

Aircraft maintenance checks

Aircraft maintenance checks are periodic inspections that have to be done on all commercial and civil aircraft after a certain amount of time or usage. Military aircraft normally follow specific maintenance programmes which may, or may not, be similar to those of commercial and civil operators.

Commercial aviation
Airlines and other commercial operators of large, or turbine-powered, aircraft follow a continuous inspection program approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States, or by other airworthiness authorities such as the Transport Canada Civil Aviation Directorate (TCCA), or the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Each operator prepares a Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP) under its Operations Specifications or "OpSpecs". The CAMP includes both routine and detailed inspections.

FAA Maintenance Review Board
In the United States the FAA directs that initial aircraft maintenance requirements be generated for each aircraft type in a Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR) based on the analysis performed as outlined in ATA "MSG-3 Operator/Manufacturer Scheduled Maintenance Development" document (MSG-3 is for Maintenance Steering Group – 3rd Task Force). The MRBR is an approved set of aircraft initial maintenance requirements as prescribed by the Appendix H to para. 25.1529 of 14 CFR part 25. Modern aircraft with MSG-3-derived maintenance programs employ usage parameters —such as flight hours, calendar time, or flight cycles—for each required maintenance task included in the MRBR. This allows for more flexibility in the scheduling of maintenance to minimize aircraft downtime.

ABC check system
Airlines and airworthiness authorities casually refer to the detailed inspections as "checks", commonly one of the following: A check, B check, C check, or D check. A and B checks are lighter checks, while C and D are considered heavier checks. Aircraft operators may perform some work at their own facilities, but often checks, and especially the heavier checks, take place at maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) company sites.

A check
The A check is performed approximately every 400-600 flight hours, or every 200–300 flights, depending on aircraft type. It needs about 50-70 man-hours, and is usually performed in an airport hangar. The A check takes a minimum of 10 hours. The actual occurrence of this check varies by aircraft type, the flight cycle count, or the number of hours flown since the last check. The occurrence can be delayed by the airline if certain predetermined conditions are met.

B check
The B check is performed approximately every 6-8 months. It takes about 160-180 man-hours, depending on the aircraft, and is usually completed within 1–3 days at an airport hangar. A similar occurrence schedule applies to the B check as to the A check. B checks are increasingly incorporated into successive A checks, i.e. checks A-1 through A-10 complete all the B check items.

C check
The C check is performed approximately every 20–24 months, or a specific number of actual flight hours (FH), or as defined by the manufacturer. This maintenance check is much more extensive than the B check, requiring a large majority of the aircraft's components to be inspected. This check puts the aircraft out of service for 1–4 weeks. The aircraft must not leave the maintenance site until it is completed. It also requires more space than A and B checks, therefore, it is usually carried out in a hangar at a maintenance base. The effort needed to complete a C check is up to 6,000 man-hours.

3C check
Some authorities use a type of check, known as a 3C check or Intermediate Layover (IL), which typically includes light structural maintenance, including checks for corrosion, or on specific high-load parts of the airframe. The 3C check may also be used as the opportunity for cabin upgrades, e.g. new seats, entertainment systems, carpeting. This shortens the time the aircraft is out of service, by performing two distinct tasks simultaneously. As component reliability has improved, some MROs now spread the workload across several C checks, or incorporate this 3C check into D checks instead.

D check
The D check, sometimes known as a "heavy maintenance visit" (HMV), is by far the most comprehensive and demanding check for an airplane. This check occurs approximately every 6-10 years. It is a check that more or less takes the entire airplane apart for inspection and overhaul. Even the paint may need to be completely removed for complete inspection of the fuselage metal skin. Such a check can generally take up to 50,000 man-hours, and 2 months to complete depending on the number of technicians involved. It also requires the most space of all maintenance checks, and as such must be performed at a suitable maintenance base. The requirements and the tremendous effort involved in this maintenance check make it by far the most expensive, with total costs for a single D check in the million-dollar range.

Because of the nature and the cost of a D check, most airlines — especially those with a large fleet — have to plan D checks for their aircraft years in advance. Often, older aircraft being phased out of a particular airline's fleet are either stored or scrapped upon reaching their next D check, due to the high costs involved in comparison to the aircraft's value. On average, a commercial aircraft undergoes two or three D checks before being retired.

Manufacturers often underestimate the cost of the D check. Boeing underestimates the cost for four of its aircraft, and the expectation is that it has underestimated it for the B787-9 which in 2018 had not been in service for long enough to have been put through a D check.

All amounts in millions of United States dollars, as of 2018.

Offshore Maintenance Facilities
As of 2015, there are 731 foreign repair shops certified by the FAA performing critical maintenance inspections and repairs for airplanes operating in the United States. This includes repair facilities performing the "heavy maintenance", D Checks, such as the Aeroman facility located in El Salvador, where one in eight mechanics are FAA certified. At a major overhaul base used by United Airlines in China, the ratio is one FAA-certified mechanic for every 31 non-certified mechanics.

Corticobasal degeneration

Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a rare neurodegenerative disease involving the cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia. CBD symptoms typically begin in people from 50 to 70 years of age, and typical survival before death is eight years. It is characterized by marked disorders in movement and cognition, and is classified as one of the Parkinson plus syndromes. Diagnosis is difficult, as symptoms are often similar to those of other disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, and dementia with Lewy bodies, and a definitive diagnosis of CBD can only be made upon neuropathologic examination.

Signs and symptoms
Because CBD is progressive, a standard set of diagnostic criteria can be used, which is centered on the disease's evolution. Included in these fundamental features are problems with cortical processing, dysfunction of the basal ganglia, and a sudden and detrimental onset. Psychiatric and cognitive dysfunctions, although present in CBD, are much less prevalent and lack establishment as common indicators of the presence of the disease.

Although corticobasal degeneration has a plethora of symptoms, some are more prevalent than others. In a study of 147 patients with CBD, it was found that all of them had at least one Parkinsonian sign, 95% having two and 93% had some higher order dysfunction (cognitive impairments like acalculia, sensory loss, dementia, neglect, etc.). In a separate study of 14 patients recorded 3 years after the onset of symptoms, many patients had high numbers of motor symptoms. 71% had bradykinesia (slow movements), 64% showed apraxia, 43% reported limb dystonia, and although more cognitive 36% had dementia. In another study of 36, over half had a useless/alien arm and 27% had a gait impediment[21]. From this, we can see why CBD is hard to diagnose. Even if it can be distinguished as different from one of the other similar diseases, the varying combinations of symptoms create a difficult path to diagnosis.

Motor and associated cortical dysfunctions
Some of the most prevalent symptom types in people exhibiting CBD pertain to identifiable movement disorders and problems with cortical processing. These symptoms are initial indicators of the presence of the disease. Each of the associated movement complications typically appears asymmetrically and the symptoms are not observed uniformly throughout the body. For example, a person exhibiting an alien hand syndrome (explained later) in one hand, will not correspondingly display the same symptom in the other hand. Predominant movement disorders and cortical dysfunctions associated with CBD include:
 * Parkinsonism
 * Alien hand syndrome
 * Apraxia (ideomotor apraxia and limb-kinetic apraxia)
 * Aphasia

Parkinsonism
The presence of parkinsonism as a clinical symptom of CBD is largely responsible for complications in developing unique diagnostic criteria for the disease. Other such diseases in which parkinsonism forms an integral diagnostic characteristic are Parkinson's disease (PD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Parkinsonism in CBD is largely present in an extremity such as the arm, and is always asymmetric. It has been suggested that non-dominant arm is involved more often. Common associated movement dysfunctions that comprise parkinsonism are rigidity, bradykinesia, and gait disorder, with limb rigidity forming the most typical manifestation of parkinsonism in CBD. Despite being relatively indistinct, this rigidity can lead to disturbances in gait and correlated movements. Bradykinesia in CBD occurs when there is notable slowing in the completion of certain movements in the limbs. In an associated study, it was determined that, three years following first diagnosis, 71% of persons with CBD demonstrate the presence of bradykinesia.

Alien hand syndrome
Alien hand syndrome has been shown to be prevalent in roughly 60% of those people diagnosed with CBD. This disorder involves the failure of an individual to control the movements of their hand, which results from the sensation that the limb is "foreign". The movements of the alien limb are a reaction to external stimuli and do not occur sporadically or without stimulation. The presence of an alien limb has a distinct appearance in CBD, in which the diagnosed individual may have a "tactile mitgehen". This mitgehen (German, meaning "to go with") is relatively specific to CBD, and involves the active following of an experimenter's hand by the subject's hand when both hands are in direct contact. Another, rarer form of alien hand syndrome has been noted in CBD, in which an individual's hand displays an avoidance response to external stimuli. Additionally, sensory impairment, revealed through limb numbness or the sensation of prickling, may also concurrently arise with alien hand syndrome, as both symptoms are indicative of cortical dysfunction. Like most of the movement disorders, alien hand syndrome also presents asymmetrically in those diagnosed with CBD.

Apraxia
Ideomotor apraxia (IMA), although clearly present in CBD, often manifests atypically due to the additional presence of bradykinesia and rigidity in those individuals exhibiting the disorders. The IMA symptom in CBD is characterized by the inability to repeat or mimic particular movements (whether significant or random) both with or without the implementation of objects. This form of IMA is present in the hands and arms, while IMA in the lower extremities may cause problems with walking. Those with CBD that exhibit IMA may appear to have trouble initiating walking, as the foot may appear to be fixed to floor. This can cause stumbling and difficulties in maintaining balance. IMA is associated with deterioration in the premotor cortex, parietal association areas, connecting white matter tracts, thalamus, and basal ganglia. Some individuals with CBD exhibit limb-kinetic apraxia, which involves dysfunction of more fine motor movements often performed by the hands and fingers.

Aphasia
Aphasia in CBD is revealed through the inability to speak or a difficulty in initiating spoken dialogue and falls under the non-fluent (as opposed to fluent or flowing) subtype of the disorder. This may be related to speech impairment such as dysarthria, and thus is not a true aphasia, as aphasia is related to a change in language function, such as difficulty retrieving words or putting words together to form meaningful sentences. The speech and/or language impairments in CBD result in disconnected speech patterns and the omission of words. Individuals with this symptom of CBD often lose the ability to speak as the disease progresses.

Psychiatric and cognitive disorders
Psychiatric problems associated with CBD often present as a result of the debilitating symptoms of the disease. Prominent psychiatric and cognitive conditions cited in individuals with CBD include dementia, depression, and irritability, with dementia forming a key feature that sometimes leads to the misdiagnosis of CBD as another cognitive disorder such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Frontotemporal dementia can be an early feature.

Molecular features
Neuropathological findings associated with CBD include the presence of astrocytic abnormalities within the brain and improper accumulation of the protein tau (referred to as tauopathy).

Astroglial inclusions
Postmortem histological examination of the brains of individuals diagnosed with CBD reveal unique characteristics involving the astrocytes in localized regions. The typical procedure used in the identification of these astroglial inclusions is the Gallyas-Braak staining method. This process involves exposing tissue samples to a silver staining material which marks for abnormalities in the tau protein and astroglial inclusions. Astroglial inclusions in CBD are identified as astrocytic plaques, which present as annularly displays of blurry outgrowths from the astrocyte. A recent study indicated that produces a high density of astrocytic plaques in the anterior portion of the frontal lobe and in the premotor area of the cerebral cortex.

Tauopathy
The protein tau is an important microtubule-associated protein (MAP), and is typically found in neuronal axons. However, malfunctioning of the development of the protein can result in unnatural, high-level expression in astrocytes and glial cells. As a consequence, this is often responsible for the astrocytic plaques prominently noted in histological CBD examinations. Although they are understood to play a significant role in neurodegenerative diseases such as CBD, their precise effect remains a mystery.

In recent years corticobasal degeneration has come to be understood as a tauopathy. This is believed due to the most common indicator of CBD being a faulty tau protein. Tau proteins are integral in keeping microtubules stable; defective cells create four microtubule-binding repeats with increased affinity in binding with microtubules. Because of this increased affinity, they form insoluble fibers (also called "paired helical filaments"). Microtubules themselves keep the cell and cytoskeletal structure stable. Thus, when tau proteins create unnatural configurations, microtubules become unstable, which eventually leads to cell death.

Diagnosis
New diagnostic criteria known as the Armstrong criteria were proposed in 2013, although the accuracy of these is limited and further research is needed.

Recent findings in clinicopathology have made it possible to distinguish CBD from Parkinson's and increase the accuracy of diagnosis, using developments in MRI and nuclear medicine.

The diagnostic criteria for clinical use may result in a misdiagnosis of other tau-based diseases.

The probable criteria are proposed for clinical research.

Clinical vs. postmortem
One of the most significant problems associated with CBD is the inability to perform a definitive diagnosis while an individual exhibiting the symptoms associated with CBD is still alive. A clinical diagnosis of CBD is performed based upon the specified diagnostic criteria, which focus mainly on the symptoms correlated with the disease. However, this often results in complications as these symptoms often overlap with numerous other neurodegenerative diseases. Frequently, a differential diagnosis for CBD is performed, in which other diseases are eliminated based on specific symptoms that do not overlap. However, some of the symptoms of CBD used in this process are rare to the disease, and thus the differential diagnosis cannot always be used.

Postmortem diagnosis provides the only true indication of the presence of CBD. Most of these diagnoses utilize the Gallyas-Braak staining method, which is effective in identifying the presence of astroglial inclusions and coincidental tauopathy.

Overlap with other diseases
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is frequently the disease most often confused with CBD. Both PSP and CBD result in similar symptoms, and both display tauopathies upon histological inspection. However, it has been noted that tauopathy in PSP results in tuft-shaped astrocytes in contrast with the ring-shaped astrocytic plaques found as a result of CBD.

Individuals diagnosed with PD often exhibit similar movement dysfunction as those diagnosed with CBD, which adds complexity to its diagnosis. Some other neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) also show commonalities with CBD.

Neuroimaging
The types of imaging techniques that are most prominently utilized when studying and/or diagnosing CBD are: Developments or improvements in imaging techniques provide the future possibility for definitive clinical diagnosis prior to death. However, despite their benefits, information learned from MRI and SPECT during the beginning of CBD progression tend to show no irregularities that would indicate the presence of such a neurodegenerative disease. FDOPA PET is used to study the efficacy of the dopamine pathway.
 * magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
 * single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
 * fluorodopa positron emission tomography (FDOPA PET)

Despite the undoubted presence of cortical atrophy (as determined through MRI and SPECT) in individuals experiencing the symptoms of CBD, this is not an exclusive indicator for the disease. Thus, the utilization of this factor in the diagnosis of CBD should be used only in combination with other clinically present dysfunctions.

MRI
MRI images are useful in displaying atrophied portions of neuroanatomical positions within the brain. As a result, it is especially effective in identifying regions within different areas of the brain that have been negatively affected due to the complications associated with CBD. To be specific, MRI of CBD typically shows posterior parietal and frontal cortical atrophy with unequal representation in corresponding sides. In addition, atrophy has been noted in the corpus callosum.

Functional MRI (fMRI) has been used to evaluate the activation patterns in various regions of the brain of individuals affected with CBD. Upon the performance of simple finger motor tasks, subjects with CBD experienced lower levels of activity in the parietal cortex, sensorimotor cortex, and supplementary motor cortex than those individuals tested in a control group.

SPECT
SPECT is currently being used to try to detect CBD. With many patients of CBD, there are areas in the basal ganglia which have difficulties receiving dopamine, typically asymmetrically. Specifically affected, are dopamine transporters which are presynaptic on the nigrostriatal cells. SPECT is used to detect these abnormalities in Dopamine transporters. Given that many patients have asymmetrical loss of function and metabolism this can help differentiate patients with CBD and those with Alzheimer's.

SPECT studies of individuals diagnosed with CBD involve perfusion analysis throughout the parts of the brain. SPECT evaluation through perfusion observation consists of monitoring blood release into different locations in tissue or organ regions, which, in the case of CBD, pertains to localized areas within the brain. Tissue can be characterized as experiencing overperfusion, underperfusion, hypoperfusion, or hyperperfusion. Overperfusion and underperfusion relate to a comparison with the overall perfusion levels within the entire body, whereas hypoperfusion and hyperperfusion are calculated in comparison to the blood flow requirements of the tissue in question. In general, the measurements taken for CBD using SPECT are referred to as regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF).

In general, SPECT reveals hypoperfusion within both the posterior regions of the frontal and parietal lobes. As in images gathered through MRI, SPECT images indicated asymmetry in the presentation of abnormalities throughout the brain. Additional studies have revealed the presence of perfusion anomalies in the thalamus, temporal cortex, basal ganglia, and pontocerebellar (from the pons to the cerebellum) locations within subjects' brains.

FDOPA PET
Research has suggested that the integrity of the dopamine system in the striatum has been damaged as an effect of CBD. Current studies employing the use of FDOPA PET scanning (FDOPA PET) as a possible method for identifying CBD have focused on analyzing the efficiency of neurons in the striatum that utilize the neurotransmitter dopamine. These studies have concluded that, in general, dopamine uptake was diminished in the caudate and the putamen. This characteristic also has the potential to be useful in distinguishing CBD from the similar PD, as individuals having been diagnosed with PD were more likely to have a lower uptake of dopamine than in individuals with CBD.

Other clinical tests or procedures that monitor the presence of dopamine within the brain (β-CIT SPECT and IBZM SPECT) have shown similar findings. β-CIT serves as an indicator for presynaptic dopaminergic neurons, whereas IBZM is a tracer that shows an affinity for the postsynaptic neurons of the same type. Despite agreement with other imaging studies, these two SPECT methods suffer some scrutiny due to better accuracy in other imaging methods. However, β-CIT SPECT has proven to be helpful in distinguishing CBD from PSP and multiple system atrophy (MSA).

Corticobasal syndrome
All of the disorders and dysfunctions associated with CBD can often be categorized into a class of symptoms that present with the disease of CBD. These symptoms that aid in clinical diagnosis are collectively referred to as corticobasal syndrome (CBS) or corticobasal degeneration syndrome (CBDS). Alzheimer's disease, Pick's disease, FTDP-17 and progressive supranuclear palsy can display a corticobasal syndrome. It has been suggested that the nomenclature of corticobasal degeneration only be used for naming the disease after it has received verification through postmortem analysis of the neuropathology. CBS patients with greater temporoparietal degeneration are more likely to have AD pathology as opposed to frontotemporal lobar degeneration.

Treatment
Because the exact cause of CBD is unknown, there is no formal treatment for the disease. Instead, treatments focus on minimizing the appearance or effect of symptoms. The most easily treatable symptom of CBD is parkinsonism, most commonly treated with dopaminergic drugs. However, there is usually only moderate improvement, and the relief from the symptom is not long-lasting. In addition, palliative therapies, including the use of wheelchairs, speech therapy, and feeding techniques, are often used to alleviate many of the symptoms that are not improved by medication.

Many treatments have low success rates or have not been tested thoroughly or produced frequently. For example, in relation to the motor aspect of disability, CBD has high resistance against treatments to improve dopamine intake, such as levodopa. A number of studies have reported no real levels of improvement based on similar drugs/dopaminergic agonists. Because of the brain's levels of inhibition, some medications have focused on creating an inhibition that would negate the effect. Many of these relaxants and anticonvulsants have some success but also have unwanted side effects[21]. Cognitive and associative effects of CBD are also hard to treat as the effects of many of the treatments for the symptomatic conditions that ensue such as dementia, aphasia, neglect, and apraxia are not well understood.

Prognosis
The prognosis for an individual diagnosed with CBD is death within approximately eight years, although some patients have been diagnosed in 2000 were still in relatively good condition in 2017, albeit with serious debilitation such as dysphagia, and overall limb rigidity. The partial (or total) use of a feeding tube may be necessary and will help prevent aspiration pneumonia, primary cause of death in CBD. Incontinence is common, as patients often can't express their need to go, due to eventual loss of speech. Therefore, proper hygiene is mandatory to prevent urinary tract infections.

Epidemiology
Clinical presentation of CBD usually does not occur until age 60, with the earliest recorded diagnosis and subsequent postmortem verification being age 28. Although men and women present with the disease, some analysis has shown a predominant appearance of CBD in women. Current calculations suggest that the prevalence of CBD is approximately 4.9 to 7.3 per 100,000 people. CBD research has been limited by the rarity of the disease and the lack of research criteria. It is estimated to affect 0.6-0.9 per 100,000 per year.

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) without CBD is estimated to be ten times more common. CBD represents roughly 4–6% of patients with Parkinsonism. Average age at disease onset is about 64, with the youngest confirmed onset being at age 43. There may be a slight female predominance.

History
Corticobasal syndrome was first recognized in 1967 when Rebeiz, Kolodny, and Richardson Jr described three people with a progressive asymmetric akinetic-rigid syndrome combined with apraxia, which they named corticodentatonigral degeneration with neuronal achromasia. The condition was "mostly forgotten" until 1989, when Marsden et al. used the name corticobasal degeneration. In 1989 Gibb and colleagues provided detailed clinical and pathological descriptions in a further three cases adopting the name corticobasal degeneration, after which various other names included "corticonigral degeneration with nuclear achromasia" and "cortical basal ganglionic degeneration". Although the underlying cause of CBD is unknown, the disease occurs as a result of damage to the basal ganglia, specifically marked by neuronal degeneration or depigmentation (loss of melanin in a neuron) in the substantia nigra. Additional distinguishing neurological features of those diagnosed with CBD consist of asymmetric atrophy of the frontal and parietal cortical regions of the brain. Postmortem studies of patients diagnosed with CBD indicate that histological attributes often involve ballooning of neurons, gliosis, and tauopathy. Much of the pioneering advancements and research performed on CBD has been completed within the past decade or so, due to the relatively recent formal recognition of the disease.

The Office of Rare Diseases in the United States created the first criteria in 2002, and the Armstrong clinical diagnostic criteria were created in 2013.

Society and culture
The Salt Path by Raynor Winn is an inspiring account of walking England's 630 mile South West Coast Path with her husband who has corticobasal degeneration.

YIMBY movement

The YIMBY movement (short for "yes in my back yard"), based on supply-side economic theory, mostly focuses on public housing policy, encouraging real estate development, opposing zoning regulations, public transportation, and pedestrian safety in transportation planning. It stands in opposition to NIMBY ("not in my back yard") tendencies, which generally oppose most forms of urban development in order to maintain the status quo. As a popular organized movement in the United States, it began in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 2010s amid a major housing affordability crisis and has subsequently become a potent political force in state and local politics across the United States.

The YIMBY position supports increasing the supply of housing within cities where housing costs have escalated to unaffordable levels. They have also supported infrastructure development projects like improving housing development (especially for affordable housing or trailer parks ), high-speed rail lines, homeless shelters, day cares, schools, universities and colleges, bike lanes, and transportation planning that promotes pedestrian safety infrastructure. YIMBYs often seek rezoning that would allow denser housing to be produced or the repurposing of obsolete buildings, such as shopping malls, into housing. Some YIMBYs have also supported public-interest projects like clean energy or alternative transport. Cities that have adopted YIMBY policies have seen substantial increase in housing supply and reductions in rent.

The YIMBY movement has supporters across the political spectrum, including left-leaning adherents who believe housing production is a social justice issue, free-market libertarian proponents who think the supply of housing should not be regulated by the government, and environmentalists who believe land use reform will slow down exurban development into natural areas. YIMBYs argue cities can be made increasingly affordable and accessible by building more infill housing, and that greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by denser cities.

History
The term started being used in the 1980s as a position in opposition to NIMBYism. By 1991, YIMBY was already an established term and had been since the 1980s, understood to mean "Yes-in-many-backyards".

A 1993 essay published in the Journal of the American Planning Association entitled "Planners' Alchemy, Transforming NIMBY to YIMBY: Rethinking NIMBY" used 'YIMBY' in general reference to development, not only housing development.

The pro-housing YIMBY position emerged in regions experiencing unaffordable housing prices. The Guardian and Raidió Teilifís Éireann say this movement began in the San Francisco Bay area in the 2010s due to high housing costs created as a result of the local technology industry adding many more jobs to the region than the number of housing units constructed in the same time span.

California YIMBY, the first political YIMBY group, was founded with the funding of Bay Area tech executives and companies. Dustin Moskovitz (Facebook, Asana) and his wife Cari Tuna donated $500,000 via their Open Philanthropy foundation; Nat Friedman (Xamarin, GitHub) and Zack Rosen (Pantheon Systems) donated another $500,000. Another $1 million donation came from the online payments company Stripe.

Political spectrum
The debate over YIMBY policies does not follow the usual political lines with YIMBYs activists often aligning from all over the political spectrum. However, surveys of both the mass public and of elected officials show that Democrats are more likely than Republicans to support dense, multifamily housing. A 2024 study of mayors and city councils shows that "electing a Democrat as mayor leads to increased multifamily housing production. These effects are concentrated in cities where councils have less power over land use changes."

A major part of the political coalition aligned with the movement include environmentalists and proponents of sustainability, which support measures to deregulate zoning for a variety of reasons. Urban development with higher density levels and fewer restrictions on land use reduces the population’s need to travel by automobile, and thus, cities’ need to develop car-based infrastructure, which in the United States accounts for 29% of all greenhouse gas emissions.

Furthermore, higher urban density reduces the total area of land occupied by housing developments. This opens up land to be used either for natural conservation or for low-intrusion clean energy developments such as wind or solar farms, both of which are goals of the broader environmental movement that can be achieved through land use deregulation.

Conversely, because "NIMBY" is often used as a pejorative, self-identified NIMBYs are rare, but opposition to YIMBY policies comes from some progressives, right-wing figures like Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson, historical preservationists, local power brokers, homeowners concerned about their property values, and renter advocates concerned about resident displacement and gentrification who disagree with the view among progressive housing economists that displacement is caused by lack of enough housing. In local elections, opposition to YIMBY policies is particularly pronounced; studies show that voter turnout among landowners nearly doubles when zoning issues are on the ballot.

Evidence from California suggests that support for development is often higher when the development is less local. For example, a statewide upzoning bill will have more popular support statewide than a new apartment building will have from the immediate neighbors. This can vary by state. While the national Sierra Club is in favor of infill development, local Sierra Club chapters in California oppose making development easier in their own cities. A 2019 poll conducted by Lake Reach Partners for California YIMBY found that support for more infill development is higher among renters, Democrats, and Black people, though it enjoys majority support among all groups in California.

Opposition to market-rate housing has been referred to as "PHIMBY", for "public housing in my backyard". Similarly, requiring a very high inclusionary (i.e., subsidized) percentage for new construction can result in less housing development, as subsidized homes are often more expensive to build than market-rate ones.

The origins of the modern YIMBY movement are separate from existing tenants' rights groups, which are suspicious of their association with young, white technology workers and may be wary of disrupting the status quo, which allows incumbent groups to use discretionary planning processes to negotiate for benefits while slowing development in general. Some have cited high vacancy rates and high rents in high-demand cities as a sign that increasing market-rate housing does not improve affordability. A common misconception is the "supply skepticism", which claims new housing would draw more migration than it houses and this would worsen the housing crisis further.

Academic research
Academic research has yielded some generalizable results on the effects of upzoning (rezoning for more housing), the root causes of unaffordability, and the most efficacious policy prescriptions to help low-income workers in prosperous cities.

Housing supply and prices
Studies show that strict land use regulations reduce housing supply and raise the price of houses and land.

Some research into the granular effects of additional housing supply shows that new housing units in hot markets do not raise the rate of increase in nearby market-rate units. This has been observed in outer boroughs of New York City (though not within 3.14 miles of the Empire State Building), in San Francisco, in Helsinki, and across multiple cities. Additionally, in California, new market-rate housing reduced displacement and slowed rises in rent.

Upzoning in the absence of additional housing production appeared to raise prices in Chicago, though the author disputed that this could lead to general conclusions about the affordability effects of upzoning.

In Auckland, New Zealand, the introduction of upzoning led to a stimulation of the housing construction industry and an increase in the city’s supply of housing.

In Portland, Oregon, an analysis of 17 years of land use deregulation policies found that individual land parcels in upzoned areas had significantly higher probabilities of development, density creation, and net additions to the Portland housing supply.

Another study published in Urban Studies in 2006 observed price trends within Canadian cities and noted very slow price drops for older housing over a period of decades; the author concluded that newly constructed housing would not become affordable in the near future, meaning that filtering was not a viable method for producing affordable housing, especially in the most expensive cities.

A more recent study on the subject of housing elasticity found an opposite conclusion; while newly constructed housing was often purchased at higher prices, the increase in supply at the high end of the market drove down prices everywhere else, leading to material benefits for people across all income groups.

Affordability and homelessness
The change in rent is inversely proportional to vacancy rates in a city, which are related to the demand for housing and the rate of construction. Homelessness rates are correlated with higher rents, especially in areas where rent exceeds 30% of an area's median income. Homelessness is driven by a number of causes, but it is more difficult to address homelessness in areas that suffer from a shortage of housing.

A 2023 survey of homeless individuals in California found that among typical causes of homelessness, many people were driven into homelessness due to high rents and low incomes which could not cover the cost of rent. YIMBY proponents would seek to lower rents by expanding the supply of housing. California's high housing prices are directly tied to a lack of housing supply.

Racial segregation and immigration
Research shows that strict land use regulations contribute to racial housing segregation in the United States. Surveys have shown that white communities are more likely to have strict land use regulations and whites are more likely to support those regulations. Improved price elasticity of new housing supply reduces the typical increases of local rents and house prices due to immigration. Immigration affects demand and supply of housing.

Economy
Proponents of the YIMBY movement argue that eliminating restrictions on land use, in particular the common zoning regulations that only allow certain land to be developed as single-family homes, would increase economic growth.

A 2019 study by Chang-Tai Hsieh and Enrico Moretti in the American Economic Journal found that liberalization of land use regulations would lead to enormous productivity gains. The study estimated that strict land use regulations "lowered aggregate US growth by 36 percent from 1964 to 2009."

Similarly, a study conducted by the National Bureau of Economic research also estimated that deregulating land use in the United States would lead to productivity gains, with domestic output projected to increase between 3-6% and economic well-being lifted by 3-9%.

Canada
In Toronto, a self-styled YIMBY movement was established in 2006 by community members in response to significant development proposals in the West Queen West area, and a YIMBY festival, launched the same year, has been held annually since. The festival's organizer stated that "YIMBYism is a community mindset that's open to change and development." An advocacy group called HousingNowTO fights to maximize the number of homes when the government builds housing. Another group, More Neighbours Toronto (MNTO), advocates for policy changes to increase the housing supply.

In Vancouver, Abundant Housing Vancouver was formed in 2016 to support more housing. In Ottawa, Make Housing Affordable was formed in 2021 to advocate for YIMBY policies.

Slovakia
In 2014, the blog YIMBY Bratislava was created as a response to rising aversion to development in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. The blog informs about development in the city, promotes it, but also criticizes it. In 2018 it was renamed to YIM.BA — Yes In My Bratislava. It is a private blog of one author with the fan group of its readers and fans on Facebook.

The Netherlands
In 2012, the YIMBY platform RTM XL in Rotterdam was created as a response to rising aversion to the development of the Zalmhaven tower in Rotterdam. RTM XL informs about development in the city, promotes it, but also criticizes policies of the city on development and mobility. In recent years similar platforms EHVXL in Eindhoven, DHXL in The Hague and UTRXL in Utrecht were founded.

Sweden
Yimby is an independent political party network founded in Stockholm in 2007, which advocates physical development, densification and promotion of urban environment with chapters in Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Uppsala. The group believes that the PBL (Plans and Constructions Act, from 1987) is a major impediment to any new construction, and should be eliminated or dramatically reformed.

United Kingdom
London YIMBY was set up in 2016, publishing its first report with the Adam Smith Institute in 2017 which received national press coverage. Its members advocate a policy termed 'Better Streets'. This proposal would allow residents of individual streets to vote by a two-thirds majority to pick a design code and allow extensions or replacement buildings of up to five or six stories, allowing suburban homes to be gradually replaced by mansion blocks. This flagship policy has achieved a degree of recognition, being endorsed by former Liberal Democrat MP Sam Gyimah and the former leader of the House of Commons Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Other YIMBY groups have been set up in individual London boroughs and in cities suffering similar housing shortages, such as Brighton, Bristol and Edinburgh.

Members of the British YIMBY movement have been critical of established planning organisations such as the Town and Country Planning Association and the Campaign to Protect Rural England, accusing them of pursuing policies that worsen Britain's housing shortage.

California
The YIMBY movement has been particularly strong in California, a state experiencing a substantial housing shortage crisis. Since 2017, YIMBY groups in California have pressured California state and its localities to pass laws to expedite housing construction, follow their own zoning laws, and reduce the stringency of zoning regulations. YIMBY activists have also been active in helping to enforce state law on housing by bringing law-breaking cities to the attention of authorities.

Since 2014, in response to California's housing affordability crisis, several YIMBY groups were created in the San Francisco Bay Area. These groups have lobbied both locally and at the state level for increased housing production at all price levels, as well as using California's Housing Accountability Act (the "anti-NIMBY law") to sue cities when they attempt to block or downsize housing development. The New York Times explained about one organization: "Members want San Francisco and its suburbs to build more of every kind of housing. More subsidized affordable housing, more market-rate rentals, more high-end condominiums."

In 2017, YIMBY groups successfully lobbied for the passage of Senate Bill 35 (SB 35), which streamlines housing under certain criteria, among other "housing package" of bills.

From 2018 to 2020, the lobbying group California YIMBY joined over 100 Bay Area technology industry executives in supporting state senator Scott Wiener's Senate Bills 827 and 50. The bills failed in the state senate after multiple attempts at passage. California YIMBY received $100,000 from Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman, $1 million from Irish entrepreneurs John and Patrick Collison through their company, Stripe, and $500,000 raised by Pantheon Systems CEO Zach Rosen and GitHub CEO Nat Friedman.

YIMBY groups in California have supported the split roll effort to eliminate Proposition 13 protections for commercial properties, and supported the ballot measure known as Proposition 15, which would implement this change but failed to pass in 2020. This change would have potentially incentivized local governments to approve commercial property development (for its attendant business, payroll, sales and property tax revenue) over residential development, while providing a significant new source of funding for localities, mostly earmarked for education.

Massachusetts
Since 2012, several YIMBY groups were established in the greater Boston area. One group argues that "...more smart housing development is the only way to retain a middle class in pricey cities like Boston and Cambridge."

New York
Several YIMBY groups, chiefly Open New York, have been created in New York City; according to an organizer: "In high-opportunity areas where people actually really want to live, the well-heeled, mostly white residents are able to use their perceived political power to stop the construction of basically anything," adding that low-income communities don't share that ability to keep development at bay: "Philosophically, we think that the disproportionate share of the burden of growth has been borne by low income, minority or industrial neighborhoods for far too long.".

In 2011, a news website called New York YIMBY was created that focuses on construction trends in New York City. While this news website is not strictly related to YIMBY political movement, in an interview with Politico, the creator of the site stated: "Zoning is the problem, not development in this city. I think people don't really understand that."

International
In September 2018, the third annual Yes In My Backyard conference, named "YIMBYTown" occurred in Boston, hosted by that area's YIMBY community. The first YIMBY conference was held in 2016 in Boulder, Colorado and hosted by a group that included Boulder's former mayor, who commented that: "It is clearer than ever that if we really care about solving big national issues like inequality and climate change, tackling the lack of housing in thriving urban areas, caused largely by local zoning restrictions, is key." The second annual conference was held in the San Francisco Bay Area city of Oakland, California. These conferences have attracted attendees from the United States, as well as some from Canada, England, Australia, and other countries.
