Beer Mile
I'm as much a fan of beer as the next guy (perhaps moreso, considering the 20 or so different brands I sampled this past weekend) but puerile college antics such as this don't strike me as encyclopedic, nor of wide interest. Al 21:20, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Eastern Australia Airlines

Eastern Australia Airlines Pty Ltd is an airline based on the grounds of Sydney Airport in Mascot, New South Wales, Australia. It is a regional domestic airline serving sixteen destinations within Australia under the QantasLink banner. Its main base is Sydney Airport, with a hub at Melbourne Airport.

History
The airline was established and started operations in 1949. It began in Tamworth as Tamworth Air Taxi Service (shortened to Tamair later on). The name was changed to Eastern Australia Airlines in 1986. Australian Airlines purchased 26% of Eastern Australian Airlines from East-West Airlines in 1988, and the airline became a wholly owned subsidiary in 1991. Qantas purchased Australian Airlines in 1992.

In 2002, Qantas merged its Mildura-based subsidiary Southern Australia Airlines with Eastern, the resulting operation using the Eastern name.

In August 2008 it was announced that Eastern Australia would shortly commence operating 72-seat Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 aircraft on services to regional centres in New South Wales, supplementing services with smaller 50-seat Dash 8s and allowing the removal of 36-seat Dash 8s from service on some routes altogether with the retirement of all 100 series Dash 8s.

In June 2015, Qantas Group chief executive Alan Joyce announced that Eastern Australia would operate regional services in New Zealand, using Jetstar-branded Bombardier Dash 8 turboprops.

In September 2019, Jetstar CEO Garath Evans announced a proposal to withdraw from regional flying in New Zealand. This was followed up by a confirmation in October 2019. Jetstar cited soft demand, higher fuel costs and a loss making operation as reasons for the withdrawal. Following the withdrawal, the five Jetstar-branded Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft were transferred back to Australia.

Memories of the Ford Administration

Memories of the Ford Administration is a 1992 novel by John Updike published by Knopf. The novel concerns a college professor's attempt to write a reminiscence of the Presidential administration of Gerald Ford while being distracted by events in his personal and professional life.

Synopsis
Alf Clayton, a struggling history professor at Wayward Junior College in New Hampshire, receives a request from the Northern New England Association of American Historians (NNEAAH) to provide his memories and impressions of the Presidential administration of Gerald Ford. Clayton has spent several years unsuccessfully attempting to write a new biography of President James Buchanan and the two projects intertwine as Clayton's mind shifts between them. Simultaneously, Clayton's guilt over his extramarital affair with another professor at the college both influences and is influenced by the Buchanan book.

Major themes
The New York Times Book Review described the novel as "quintessential Updike, an exploration of a modern American terrain of desire, guilt and moral ambiguity that he has made distinctly his own." Updike uses Clayton and his rival professor Brent Mueller, an ardent deconstructionist, to comment on deconstruction and sexual politics. While Clayton hates Mueller for his adherence to deconstruction, he nonetheless finds himself utilizing the theory to justify his interest in a comparatively obscure president and assuage his guilt over the affair with Mueller's wife Geraldine.

Talk:Navy Federal Credit Union

Corrected NAVY FCU Text
I corrected some of thext on this entry. Credit unions are governed by the Board of Directors, not by the NCUA. The NCUA is a regulator and the charter authority. To state (as it was here) that the NCUA "governs" this (or any other) credit union, except in cases where the NCUA assumes control of a credit union that improperly operated is false, especially given NFCU key ratios. I also removed the POV statement on NFCU credit cards being set a low interest rate - while fact, it is also propaganda not relevent to the article. Stu 21:22, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

HQ Location
NFCU HQs is in fact located in Vienna, VA not Merrifield, VA. Note that a lot of mail addressed to NFCU for many things is addressed to Merrifield, VA, this is simply just a postal address and not the physical location of the building. --Androsyn 18:41, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Now fixed - apparently this got overlooked. GermanJoe (talk) 18:10, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Contradiction??
The history section says that Coast Guard personnel are not eligible to join Navy Federal, but the membership section says that all DoD employees are eligible.

Since the Coast Guard is part of the Department of the Navy in wartime, does the May 2008 expansion of the field of membership change things, and make active Coast Guard personnel eligible?

--Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 05:16, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

 * You can find NFCU's membership charter here. They don't include CG by default, but they do include it if you're assigned to a DoD installation. --Bachrach44 (talk) 01:27, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Why does Navy Federal snub the USCG? Its one of the armed force and military branch at all times by law and tradition.  Navy Federal should rename its marketing to drop any reference to Armed Services.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.132.2.167 (talk) 01:34, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Headscarf section
The section on the headscarf controversy was irrelevant and I deleted it. The section read: In March 2009, a Muslim woman wearing a headscarf in a Navy Federal branch was asked to be served outside of the normal service line, due to a security policy which says members can be refused service if they obscure their head or face while in a branch. Navy Federal later apologized to the woman, and stated that their policy makes explicit exceptions for religious coverings.[3] ^ http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/10/AR2009031003981.html

Is there a pattern of discrimination or "controversy" involving Navy Federal? No. The section should be added to an article on Islam in the United States, or Islam and discrimination, not an informational article about a credit union. Foreignshore (talk) 22:44, 16 September 2009 (UTC)Foreignshore

United States of Colombia

United States of Colombia (Estados Unidos de Colombia) was the name adopted in 1863 by the  for the Granadine Confederation, after years of civil war. Colombia became a federal state itself composed of nine "sovereign states.” It comprised the present-day nations of Colombia and Panama and parts of northwestern Brazil. After several more years of intermittent civil wars, it was replaced by the more centralist Republic of Colombia in 1886, predecessor to modern Colombia.

History
The civil war of 1860-1862 resulted in the dissolution of the Granadine Confederation which had been subjected increasingly to efforts by conservatives to centralize rule over the federal states. The liberal General Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera defeated the conservative government of President Bartolomé Calvo during 1862 and was installed as new president. Much power was distributed back to the states from the government in Bogotá.

Already in July 1861, when Mosquera had taken Bogotá and declared himself provisional president of the nation, one of his first acts was to rename the country United States of New Granada. This name was short-lived, as Mosquera changed the name again to United States of Colombia in November of the same year.

Colombian Constitution of 1863
On 3 February 1863, Congress approved the name United States of Colombia for the country, and on 8 May, the was promulgated. It established a federal system with a central presidency with a term of two years and without the possibility of immediate re-election. The president was elected by the states. On 12 May, Mosquera was chosen to be the first president.

The liberals attempted to establish the United States of Colombia with a decentralized, free market system. As with previous liberal presidencies, such as Mosquera's first two terms as president, a tough policy towards the Catholic Church was taken, much to the dismay of conservatives. Land possessed by the Church was seized and transferred to industrialists and the influence and rights of the Church was limited severely.

During 1871, attempts at modernization and economic reform resulted in the Colombian peso being associated with the French franc as part of the international gold standard.

Abolition
After several years of intermittent civil wars, during 1886 the Colombian Conservative Party directed by President Rafael Núñez proclaimed a new constitution of centralist character that abolished the United States of Colombia and created the Republic of Colombia. The conservatives immediately withdrew Colombia from the gold standard and the subsequent increase of printed currency resulted in troubling inflation.

Meanwhile, the new state would continue to be plagued by conflict between liberal and conservative factions, which eventually would result in the secession of Panama during 1903.

States
The nine original states that formed the confederation were: and the territories were:
 * Antioquia State,
 * Bolívar State,
 * Boyacá State,
 * Cauca State,
 * Cundinamarca State,
 * Magdalena State,
 * Panamá State,
 * Santander State and
 * Tolima State,
 * Caquetá Territory,
 * San Martin Territory and
 * Nevada and Motilones Territory.

Marvin Braude Bike Trail

The Marvin Braude Bike Trail (also known as the Beach Bike Path, Coastal Bike Trail , The Strand, or the South Bay Bicycle Trail ) is a 22 miles paved bicycle path that runs mostly along the shoreline of Santa Monica Bay in Los Angeles County, California. The coastal bike trail is widely acknowledged as Los Angeles’ “most popular bike path.”

The path “leads cyclists past colorful piers, lively crowds, and beach vistas unseen by automobile travelers.”

A 1985 bike touring guidebook reported that this was “deservedly the most popular (and most crowded) bike path in Los Angeles County. Riders see exhilarating views of the Pacific Ocean, fleets of weekend sailors, and, on a clear day, Catalina Island riding on the horizon.”

According to one guide to recreational biking in Los Angeles, “If you make the path a part of your morning workout routine, you’ll see sunbeams lighting up the white crests of waves as they break, surfers getting the first rides of the day, and assorted marine life bobbing in and around the shoreline.”

For most of its length the concrete route is 14 feet wide. The northern terminus of the trail is at Will Rogers State Beach in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles. The southern terminus of the trail is in Torrance County Beach in Torrance, at the base of Palos Verdes Peninsula.

County officials reported that at the time the trail was completed (in 1989), as many as 10,000 people a day used the route.

For most of the trail, the bicycle path is Class I (no automobile contact) but for a few miles in Marina del Rey, the route is Class II where the bicycle route crosses six streets with automobiles and nearby traffic lights, adding moderate danger for bicyclists, pedestrians, roller skaters, and skateboarders.

Near the midpoint, between the two ends of the path, this coastal bicycle path intersects with another Class I bicycle path, with abundant wildlife viewing opportunities, known as the Ballona Creek Bike Path. This urban river bicycle path goes inland for approximately 7 miles into Culver City, and there connecting to the Expo Bike Path (ending at the Los Angeles Metro Rail station) and the Park to Playa Trail (ending in the Baldwin Hills).

Route
The path begins in Will Rogers State Beach in the Pacific Palisades area of the city of Los Angeles.

The Santa Monica portion of the path is an 8.5 mi Class 1 path in Los Angeles County running from Temescal Canyon.

It continues southbound along the beach and passes through Santa Monica State Beach in the city of Santa Monica, where the path passes underneath the Santa Monica Pier. This stretch hosts almost 5,000 parking spaces for visitors.

The path then passes through in Venice Beach. According to a guide to traveling along the bay on foot, “Venice is one of the county's oldest beaches; lifeguard service has been provided since the 1920s. The quiet of this beach is a marked contrast to the hubbub of Ocean Front Walk paralleling the length of it. Almost every facet of zany California beach culture can be found on the boardwalk-jugglers, mimes, skaters and more sidewalk cafes, junk- and health-food eateries than one could sample in a year of Sundays.”

The Class I bicycle path ends at the Venice Fishing Pier and riders must continue .75 miles on the Class II bicycle path along Washington Boulevard.

The Class II path eventually veers off of Washington Boulevard and takes riders around Marina Del Rey following a bike route and walkway crossing Admiralty Way. (At Admiralty and Washington riders can take an optional 0.7 detour loop around the Oxford Basin wildlife viewing area.) The path then wends past various boat basins and Fisherman's Village until it reaches a Class II path running alongside the main channel of the marina, an extension of the Ballona Creek Bike Path.

Below Marina Del Rey and Ballona Creek the path is called the South Bay Bike Trail, “The route follows a flat, curving path that snakes among the dunes of Dockweiler Beach State Park; in Manhattan Beach it’s more like a broad boardwalk, and near King Harbor it’s commercial—you’ll have to dismount for part of the way through this busy shopping area.”

The path continues south through Playa Del Rey to Dockweiler State Beach (which abuts Los Angeles International Airport and the city of El Segundo), “which is wide, clean, sandy and mostly pleasant.”

Next comes El Porto Beach and Manhattan County Beach (both part of the city of Manhattan Beach).

In Hermosa Beach, riders have the choice of either continuing along the Class II bicycle path that runs alongside Hermosa Beach (which can get quite busy with pedestrian foot traffic, especially during the summer months) or riding on a Class II bicycle lane that runs parallel to Hermosa Avenue. The scenic bike path/pedestrian trail that runs alongside the beach in Hermosa Beach was established in 1908 and is known as The Strand. At Herondo Street, people can go two blocks inland to connect with the Beach Cities Greenway.

The path continues along the beach through Redondo County Beach in the city of Redondo Beach. The path passes through the parking structure of the Redondo Beach pier. Signs instruct riders to dismount and walk their bikes across the main entrance to the pier and the King Harbor marina. Pedestrians and walked bikes can also “dawdle along the walkways around the boat basins.”

The path ends in Torrance Beach, below a parking lot at the base of the Palos Verdes Peninsula hills. According to a guide to walking the entirety of Santa Monica Bay, “One of many ways to reach the trail head at Torrance County Beach is by exiting the San Diego Freeway in Carson, on Torrance Boulevard, and traveling six miles west to Catalina Avenue. Turn left, then almost immediately veer coastward on Esplanade, which takes you 1 1/2 miles to Miramar Park, where there's bluff-top parking ($4 per day) and stairs leading down to the beach.”

Access
The beach bike path can be accessed via multiple transit links. Most local bus lines have bike racks attached the front of the bus. Bikes are permitted in Metro light rail cars.

 * SANTA MONICA: Travel via E Line to the western terminus at Downtown Santa Monica station. “Go southwest on the protected bike lane on Colorado Avenue. Cross Ocean Avenue and go left/south on the sidewalk. Cross Moomat Ahiko (basically a PCH on-ramp), then turn right down Seaside Terrace, which ends at Ocean Front Walk.”
 * MARINA DEL REY: Culver CityBus line 7 ending at Fiji Way

History
Realizing the success of paved bike paths in Europe, in the 1890s L.A. city planners proposed a bike path from Los Angeles to Santa Monica. The cost for the path was estimated at $200 per mile, with agreements from local farmers to allow the path to run across their lands.

The current path was proposed in the late 1960s—the Los Angeles Times reported “Chamber Studies Plan for Bikeway in Venice” in 1967–and was approved by L.A. County Supervisors in 1971.

Initial gaps in the route, which was otherwise largely complete by 1974, were in Marina Del Rey and Santa Monica, Hermosa and Redondo Beach. At the Marina, “proposed route around basins F, G, and H, and established route on Ballona Creek jetty are separated by locked gate at Via Venetia apartments.” The L.A. Times reported “strip may be acquired.” At Playa Del Rey there was a gap between the Pacific Avenue Bridge and Culver Blvd., and in Santa Monica the section near “the abandoned Pacific Ocean Park amusement complex, the Synanon headquarters [at Casa del Mar], and the Santa Monica Pier” was deemed “geographically impassable.”

There was also talk about routing the Hermosa section entirely inland to Hermosa Avenue or Valley Drive, and sections of the Redondo portion were disconnected because of problems with “its Redevelopment Agency and harbor-area lessees.”

The entire path is along the beach and was adamantly opposed by beachfront homeowners, who managed for two decades to stop the path from reaching Santa Monica.

The mile-and-half segment between California Avenue to Chautauqua Boulevard in the Pacific Palisades was added in 1985. The last section of the path was opened in 1989.

The Marvin Braude bicycle trail was officially named in 2006 for Los Angeles City Councilman Marvin Braude and dedicated by State Senator Sheila Kuehl.

Rum row

A rum row was a Prohibition-era term (1920–1933) referring to a line of ships loaded with liquor anchored beyond the maritime limit of the United States. These ships taunted the Eighteenth Amendment’s prohibition on the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Although rum prevailed along Caribbean shores, other beverages were popular elsewhere.

Rum-running
The maritime limit was three miles prior to April 21, 1924, and 12 miles thereafter. These lines became established near major U.S. ports so that rum runners could load cargoes of alcoholic beverages from these freight ships and sneak them into port. The cargoes were sourced from the Caribbean and Canada, which repealed their respective prohibition policies at the moment the United States started its own. The bulk of the ships flew the British flag but were actually registered in Canada and owned by Canadians who had ties with American syndicates.

The cities with rum rows were often in Florida at first and the product was rum from the Caribbean. As the importation of whiskey from Canada increased, rum rows became established in locations along all the coastlines of the U.S. Notable rum-row locations included the New Jersey coast (by far the largest), San Francisco, Virginia, Galveston, and New Orleans. Twenty U.S. Navy destroyers were turned over to the Coast Guard to fight rum runners.

The lucrative but dangerous business was often punctuated by murder, hijackings and other violent crimes. There are accounts of a Greek merchant turned rum runner who was tied to an anchor and thrown overboard by his crew who wanted the rum for themselves. A woman named Gertrude Lythgoe also became known in the New York rum row. She was employed by the British firm Haig and MacTavish Scotch Whisky and notoriously sold her liquor at the rum row after she was expelled by male competitors from Nassau.

Averruncator

An averruncator is a form of long shears used in arboriculture for averruncating or pruning off the higher branches of trees, etc.

Etymology
The word averruncate (from Latin averruncare, "to ward off, remove mischief") glided into meaning to weed the ground, prune vines, etc., by a supposed derivation from the Lat. ab, "off", and eruncare, "to weed out", and it was spelt aberuncate to suit this; but the New English Dictionary regarded such a derivation as impossible.

Description
An averruncator has a compound blade attached to a handle between five and eight feet long. The blades are closed with a rope and pulley, and they are opened with a spring.

Types
There are at least three varieties of this tool, depending on how force is transmitted to the blades or the blade shape: shear-action, pully-action and parrot-bill.

Net output

Net output is an accounting concept used in national accounts such as the United Nations System of National Accounts (UNSNA) and the NIPAs, and sometimes in corporate or government accounts. The concept was originally invented to measure the total net addition to a country's stock of wealth created by production during an accounting interval. The concept of net output is basically "gross revenue from production less the value of goods and services used up in that production". The idea is that if one deducts intermediate expenditures from the annual flow of income generated by production, one obtains a measure of the net new value in the new products created.

Definition
In national accounts, net output is equivalent to the gross value added during an accounting period when producing enterprises use inputs (labor and capital assets) to produce outputs. Gross value added is called "gross" because it includes depreciation charges or consumption of fixed capital. The calculation is importantly influenced by the definition of expenditures and incomes included within the scope of "production" - some incomes and expenditures are included as "factor income" or "factor expenditure" directly related to production, other are not.

The calculation involves an accounting procedure of "grossing and netting" the revenues which enterprises obtain from their outputs of goods and services, in order to establish what the real value of those outputs is.

This procedure must consistently identify and distinguish between costs and revenues, and between materials or services used up, fixed assets and new outputs, according to a standard valuation. In national accounts, this is especially important because the inputs of one enterprise are the outputs of another, and vice versa; lacking a consistent procedure, double counting would result. In turn, the "grossing and netting" procedure assumes a value theory and a definition of the coverage of production. Once we have that, we can aggregate a multitude of prices to obtain a price for the total value of net output.

Components of net output
The value of an aggregate net output is normally understood to be equal to the sum of

 * labour costs (or compensation of employees),
 * depreciation (or consumption of fixed capital),
 * income tax and indirect tax imposts on production, reduced by government subsidies to producers,
 * profit (or operating surplus).

In calculating net output for national accounts, government subsidies received by producing enterprises are normally subtracted from indirect tax levies paid by them during the same accounting period.

Net output and GDP
The total net output of resident producers in a national economy is equal to Gross Domestic Product or GDP. Included in this total is the productive activity of government agencies and certain income-generating activities of households.

 * Usually the term "net output" is used to refer to the contribution which a particular economic sector (for example, agriculture, manufacturing, business services etc.) makes to total value added or GDP during a quarter or a year.
 * The net output of a particular industry should not however be confused with the total value of its outputs, since in reality that total value includes the value-added by production plus the value of inputs used up (i.e. intermediate consumption) in producing the total value of outputs. For example, in making a car, a car factory adds value to the materials and components used to make the car. But the value of the finished car doesn't just include that value-added in production, but also the materials and ancillary operating costs used to make the car. Thus, if we want to know the total sale value of the output of the car factory, the relevant measure is not the "net output" (the value-added), but rather the gross output. If, for example, we wanted to calculate a "unit labour-cost" for the output value of the cars, the appropriate ratio is between labour costs and the gross output value of the cars. It follows that the total new net output value of a whole country, after deducting the value of goods and services used up from the gross expenditure or gross sales revenue, is a different concept from the net output of a particular industry.

Input-output analysis
In input-output analysis, disaggregated data on gross and net outputs of different economic sectors and sub-sectors is used to study the transactions between them. Thus, for example, a sector purchases inputs from several other sectors and sells outputs to several other sectors. By identifying the quantities of inputs and outputs involved, we can estimate what the effect will be of fluctuations in business activity within one sector, or group of sectors on the economy as a whole.

Criticism
As mentioned, the calculation of net output requires a value theory, a way of grossing and netting, and techniques for aggregating the prices of transaction volumes in a consistent way. Obviously, there are many different ways of going about this, but normally a legal framework limits the number of variations possible or permitted (business accounts have to be audited and so on, to guarantee a fair statement of business operations within the law of the land). Nevertheless, the procedure for establishing net output can be contested.

 * The valuation standards applied may be contested and differ somewhat between different countries.
 * In Marxian economics, the value product is offered as an alternative output measure, reflecting the new value produced by living labor.
 * But there is also an ecological criticism that is sometimes made. The argument here is that, in calculating net output, costs and results are only assessed in price terms. Therefore, inputs to production and outputs which are not priced, are excluded in the valuation. Yet those inputs and outputs may nevertheless have an economic or human value, regardless of whether a price could be imputed to them or regardless of whether they can be made an object of trade. If the air is polluted, or depletion of fish stocks in the open seas occurs, the cost of repairing that is not accounted for in the net output of polluters or fishing companies. Sometimes tax levies are therefore imposed. Nowadays the Kyoto protocol has inspired "emissions trading", where the right to pollute is bought and sold, which some regard as a strictly perverse activity. Others however argue it proves the ability of competitive markets to solve any problem of resource allocation.

Scotty's Junction, Nevada

Scotty's Junction is an unincorporated community in the Sarcobatus Flat of Nye County, Nevada where State Route 267 meets with U.S. Route 95 at an elevation of 4062 ft.

It was named after Walter E. Scott (a.k.a. Death Valley Scotty, of nearby Scotty's Castle fame).

Nevada Public Radio maintains translator station K201BF in the area, retransmitting KNPR in Las Vegas on 88.1 FM.

History
Scotty's Junction was originally a stop on the Bullfrog Goldfield Railroad (BGR) at Sarcobatus Flat/Tolicha for the Bonnie Claire Mines and the town of Bonnie Claire. The BGR was a short-lived railroad and it along with the Las Vegas and Tonopah Railroad (LV&T) were acquired by the Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad (T&T) and combined for the shortest route. Supplies to build Scotty's Castle were trucked from the Bonnie Claire Depot to the castle site. In fact, the last delivery this train would ever make would be construction supplies for Scotty's Castle, the tracks were literally torn up and scrapped after this last delivery and the ties taken to the castle to be used for firewood.

The Timbisha Shoshone Homeland Act of 2000 provides for transfer to the Timbisha tribe of 2800 acres (11 km2) of land and an annual 375.5 acre.ft of ground water around Scotty's Junction.

Abandoned Love

"Abandoned Love" is a song written by Bob Dylan, recorded on July 31, 1975, but not released until 1985, on his compilation album Biograph. It was originally recorded for inclusion on his 1976 album Desire, but was dropped in favor of "Joey". "Abandoned Love" was written during Dylan's breakup with his then-wife Sara Lownds. A working title for the song was "Sara Part II Abandoned Love." It was also known at one point as "Saint John the Evangelist", after a line in the song lyrics.

Only one live performance of this song is known of, at The Bitter End cafe on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village on July 3, 1975, during a show with Ramblin' Jack Elliott. Paul Cable, in his book Bob Dylan: His Unreleased Recordings (New York: Schirmer Books, 1980), described this live version of the song as "Beautiful, eerie, easily as good as Blonde on Blonde lyrics and a tune that is unusual and perfect".

Reception
Rolling Stone listed "Abandoned Love" as #64 on its list of Dylan's 100 greatest songs, calling the Biograph version "one of Dylan's most tortured, heartbroken recordings". Billboard included the song in its list of Dylan's 15 "most poetic lyrics". The Big Issue placed it at #37 on a 2021 list of the "80 best Bob Dylan songs - that aren't the greatest hits" and called it a "jolly break-up song for a change". A 2021 Guardian article included it on a list of "80 Bob Dylan songs everyone should know".
