HMCS Corner Brook

HMCS Corner Brook (SSK 878) is a long-range hunter-killer submarine (SSK) of the Royal Canadian Navy. She is the former Royal Navy Upholder-class submarine HMS Ursula (S42), purchased from the British at the end of the Cold War. She is the third boat of the Victoria class and is named after the city of Corner Brook, Newfoundland. The submarine was launched in 1989 and entered service with the Royal Navy in 1992. The Royal Navy laid Ursula up in 1994. In 1998, Canada acquired the submarine from the United Kingdom. The vessel entered service with the Canadian Armed Forces in 2003. Renamed Corner Brook, the submarine took part in several military exercises both internationally, such as NATO exercises and domestic, such as Operation Nanook. In June 2011, the submarine ran aground in Nootka Sound, damaging the vessel's bow. The submarine was sent for refit in 2014 to complete the repairs.

Design
As built the Upholder class was designed as a replacement for the Oberon-class submarine for use as hunter-killer and training subs. The submarines, which have a single-skinned, teardrop-shaped hull, displace 2220 LT surfaced and 2455 LT submerged. They are 230 ft long overall with a beam of 25 ft and a draught of 17 ft.

The submarines are powered by a one shaft diesel-electric system. They are equipped with two Paxman Valenta 1600 RPS SZ diesel engines each driving a 1.4 MW GEC electric alternator with two 120-cell chloride batteries. The batteries have a 90-hour endurance at 3 kn. The ship is propelled by a 4.028 MW GEC dual armature electric motor turning a seven-blade fixed pitch propeller. They have a 200 LT diesel capacity. This gives the subs a maximum speed of 12 kn on the surface and 20 kn submerged. They have a range of 8000 nmi at 8 kn and 10000 nmi at snorting depth. They have a range of 8000 nmi at 8 kn. The class has a reported dive depth of over 650 ft.

The Victoria-class boats are armed with six 21 in torpedo tubes. In British service, the submarines were equipped with 14 Tigerfish Mk 24 Mod 2 torpedoes and four UGM-84 Sub-Harpoon missiles. They could also be adapted for use as a minelayer. The submarines have Type 1007 radar and Type 2040, Type 2019, Type 2007 and Type 2046 sonar installed. The hull is fitted with elastomeric acoustic tiles to reduce acoustic signature. In British service the vessels had a complement of seven officers and 40 ratings.

Refits and Canadian alterations
During the refit for Canadian service, the Sub-Harpoon and mine capabilities were removed and the submarines were equipped with the Lockheed Martin Librascope Submarine fire-control system (SFCS) to meet the operational requirements of the Canadian Navy. Components from the fire control system of the Oberon-class submarines were installed. This gave the submarines the ability to fire the Gould Mk 48 Mod 4 torpedo. In 2014, the Government of Canada purchased 12 upgrade kits that will allow the submarines to fire the Mk 48 Mod 7AT torpedoes.

These radar and sonar systems were later upgraded with the installation of the BAE Type 2007 array and the Type 2046 towed array. The Canadian Towed Array Sonar (CANTASS) has been integrated into the towed sonar suite. The Upholder-class submarines were equipped with the CK035 electro-optical search periscope and the CH085 optronic attack periscope, originally supplied by Pilkington Optronics. After the Canadian refit, the submarines were equipped with Canadian communication equipment and electronic support measures (ESM). This included two SSE decoy launchers and the AR 900 ESM.

Construction and career
The submarine was laid down as HMS Ursula at Cammell Laird's Birkenhead yard on 10 January 1989. She was launched on 28 February 1991 and commissioned into the Royal Navy on 8 May 1992. Ursula was decommissioned on 16 October 1994.

Looking to discontinue the operation of diesel-electric boats, the British government offered to sell Ursula and her sister submarines to Canada in 1993. The offer was accepted in 1998. The four boats were leased to Canada for US$427 million (plus US$98 million for upgrades and alteration to Canadian standards), with the lease to run for eight years; the submarines would then be sold for £1.

Problems were discovered with the piping welds on all four submarines, which delayed the reactivation of ex-Ursula and her three sisters. The former Ursula was handed over to the Canadian Forces on 21 February 2003, and commissioned as HMCS Corner Brook on 29 June 2003.

Royal Canadian Navy
After commissioning, Corner Brook was deployed on the east coast of Canada, based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia. During a refit in 2006, elevated levels of lead were detected aboard the submarine; they were believed to come from the lead-brick ballast blocks used aboard Corner Brook. Between October 2006 and January 2008, Corner Brook was active for only 81 days. The submarine participated in NATO exercise 'Noble Mariner' during May 2007. During the exercise, which occurred in the Baltic region, Corner Brook successfully closed with the aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious (R06) without being detected. The submarine returned to Canada, and in August, she participated in Operation Nanook, a sovereignty exercise held in and around Iqaluit and the Baffin Island coastal and Hudson Strait areas. That year, Corner Brook participated in the NATO exercise "Noble Warrior", marking the first time in 15 years that a Canadian submarine had been present in European waters.

In February 2008, Corner Brook departed from Halifax during a snowstorm for a three-month deployment to the Caribbean Sea. As part of the deployment, the submarine operated with the United States Joint Interagency Task Force South, which attempts to counter drug trafficking, people smuggling and piracy in the region. Corner Brook returned to Halifax in May.

In January 2009, Corner Brook was the 'target' for submarine detection exercises performed by HMCS Halifax (FFH 330) and HMCS Montréal (FFH 336). This was followed by a four-week, multi-ship training exercise in the North Atlantic during February and March, then participation in the UNITAS multinational exercise off Florida during late April and early May. During August, the submarine was involved in Operation Nanook 2009 conducting covert surveillance patrols in the vicinity of Baffin Island.

Early in 2011, Corner Brook took part in Operation Caribbe, before transiting to the west coast as part of her redeployment to Esquimalt, British Columbia. On 4 June 2011 the submarine ran aground in Nootka Sound during manoeuvres off Vancouver Island. The submarine collided with the sea floor in 45 m of water while travelling at a speed of 11 kph. The collision opened a 2 m hole in the submarine's bow. Two submariners were slightly injured. After the grounding incident civilian and military submariners began pre-maintenance work on the submarine, in the expectation of an extended maintenance program. At the time, the process, length and cost of the work was unknown due to existing contracts. A board of inquiry formed after the collision found that the cause of the collision had been human error. In February 2012, post-collision photos of the dry-docked submarine were published, showing extensive damage to the bow; the media also cited unofficial sources, saying the pressure hull may be damaged beyond repair.

As of July 2014, Corner Brook began her Extended Docking Work Period (EDWP) that was expected to take until 2017 to complete. On 1 April 2019 the submarine, still in drydock at CFB Esquimalt, caught fire. The fire was extinguished but the cause was unknown. The vessel was intended to return to service in mid-2020. However, in a March 2020 pressure test of the submarine's ballast tanks, the test team attempted to empty the tanks more quickly using pressured air, leading to over pressurization and a rupture. A full repair was deemed uneconomical and was repaired enough for the submarine to return to service in mid-2021 at the earliest, though the submarine would need to be monitored. The submarine is expected to remain in service for another nine years following the refit.

Talk:Hurricane Lili

Why the date?
The storm was retired after 2002, so why do we need (2002)? CrazyC83 05:06, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Todo
Impact! Hurricanehink 19:24, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

These should probably be included. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 17:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * New Orleans, LA report
 * Houston, TX report

Deaths and damage
I fixed the deaths total and clarified the damages. The $860 million is damage from the U.S. Damage elsewhere is unknown (can anyone find it?) but probably surprisingly high, considering the storm destroyed 50,000 homes (probably leaving 100,000+ homeless) in Cuba. — jdorje (talk) 07:23, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Copyright violation?
The "Observation" section seems to be stolen directly from http://www.cubahurricanes.org/history-hurricane-lili.php - which is not even listed in the references. — jdorje (talk) 07:08, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually I mean to say that the whole storm history is taken from that page. — jdorje (talk) 07:09, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Actually I mean to say that page is probably taken from wikipedia. Here is the edit that added all of that text...but comparing the two versions, it looks like the cubahurricanes page has a bad copy-and-paste that has broken some wikification (like the first sentence and the "Observation" header); it's not too likely that a copy-and-paste from that page would just happen to wikify perfectly. — jdorje (talk) 07:15, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Lili at peak intensity image
How about this? Irfanfaiz 08:01, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Nice one, but do you have one that's a bit closer up? Hurricanehink ( talk ) 14:16, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Its a PD image, so you can do whatever you like with it - so start with the 250m resolution version (higher the res the better) and crop it.--Nilfanion (talk) 15:24, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. If no one minds, I'll put it in the infobox. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 17:29, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The image is large by the way... Irfanfaiz 04:38, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Landfall
I found a gogeous pic of Lili at landfall. It is huge, but very high quality. Much better than that crayon drawing we have now of Lili's landfall. Should it be included?I found it here. I highly think it should be added to the page. →Cycl  one1 → 16:40, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure. The current one is nice and zoomed in. --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 21:28, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow, thats huuuuge, i'll crop it :P. Irfanfaiz 06:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I can't crop more or that description on the lower left hand corner will bother the image a bit.

Here's the results anyway. I vote put it in. →Cycl  one1 → 18:03, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Possible reason for sudden weakening before Louisiana landfall
Could it be that the outflow of the cooler waters of the Mississippi River from Hurricane Isidore crossing Lili's path caused it to weaken dramatically? The same could be said for Hurricane Rita passing through the runoff of Hurricane Katrina. I have heard that the Mississippi River runoff has been slowly eroding the Southwest Louisiana coastline near Cameron, LA and Port Arthur Texas for decades. This could be the result of the dikes and levees put in place to keep the Mississippi River from swallowing New Orleans.

 * I'm not sure. Isidore was only a tropical storm when it moved through the waters where Lili rapidly weakened, so I personally don't think that's likely. According to NASA research in this link, low-level dry air was partially responsible for the storm's weakening. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:38, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I seem to remember that the water temperatures just offshore Louisiana were down in the mid to upper 70s (25-26C). Someone should look this up, but that alone would do the trick.  Thegreatdr (talk) 16:46, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Good Article Review

 * GA review (see here for criteria)

Great job, but I'd like to see these two comments addressed. Hello32020 (talk) 13:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I added the rainfall image, so now there are 3 images. =)  Thegreatdr (talk) 13:43, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hold on. There are other issues, as well. Major MoS issues. Incosistent numbers, a couple typos, weak writing in some areas. Also, there's got to be more damage pictures. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  13:53, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, there are sentences like this: By far the most severely impacted provinces were Pinar Del Rio and La Habana.. "By far" is not an encyclopediac term. Huge fish kills... What does that mean? Surely there's more aftermath. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  13:57, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll try to avoid the GA limbo caused by the NobleSith's departure. Let me look over the article to see what still needs to be fixed. Thegreatdr (talk) 21:42, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I fixed the wording. Five more images have been added, but I have yet to find a (fair use) damage picture we can use within wikipedia for anywhere outside the United States (I'll search for a little longer).  Corrected casualty number inconsistency, that stems from NHC report which says 16 but only lists 15.  There is a significant amount of aftermath already in this article.  Fish kills is actually wikilinked, so that will lead to a small description of what a fish kill is.  Any issues remaining to be fixed?  Thegreatdr (talk) 23:54, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Good job fixing up the issues listed. I will pass this article since it now satisfies the good article criteria. If you can find a damage picture, terrific, but if it isn't possible, that's okay. Hello32020 (talk) 01:01, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Deadliest and Costliest
I believe the lead is incorrect according to Wikipedia's own infoboxes Hurricane Isidore holds both of those titles. --Kuzwa (talk) 15:18, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Todo 2
Although this article is list as a GA, the standards have changed, and I believe that a re-assessment could be possible. There are several reasons why:
 * Some sentences are missing punctuations.
 * There are a few unsourced statements.
 * Dead links
 * The titles are incorrect on the NHC references. In addition, NHC should be spelled out, as well as FEMA.
 * Some of the references have both first and last names written, while others only have the last name.
 * On reference #33, all of the names are capitalized.
 * There is an error with reference #35.--12george1 (talk) 16:56, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I fixed the problem with the caps, names, and acronyms. There should no longer be dead links.  Reference 35 was redone, but still isn't in the proper format.  I bet it's an easy fix, though it escapes me right now.  If there are unsourced statements, place fact tags to point them out.  And no, GA standards were no different when this article passed GA than they are now.  It just wasn't a thorough review.  If you see punctuation issues, be bold and fix them.

Beaver Glacier (Enderby Land)

Beaver Glacier is a glacier about 15 mi long and 4 mi wide, flowing west into Amundsen Bay between Auster Glacier and Mount Gleadell. The head of Beaver Glacier is located very close to the base of Mount King in Enderby Land. It was visited by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) party on October 28, 1956, and named after the Beaver aircraft used by ANARE in coastal exploration.

I think the Thomas Pope linked in the article might be the wrong one. It seems the Thomas Pope who came up with the Rainbow Bridge idea was a carpenter in 19th century New York, not the 16th century founder of Trinity College, Oxford.

Scott Mountains (Antarctica)

The Scott Mountains are a large number of isolated peaks lying south of Amundsen Bay in Enderby Land of East Antarctica, Antarctica. Discovered on 13 January 1930 by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Sir Douglas Mawson. He named the feature Scott Range after Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Royal Navy. The term mountains is considered more appropriate because of the isolation of its individual features.

List of mountains

 * Mount Alekseyev (-67.46667°N, 50.66667°W) is a mountain, 927 m, standing 6 nautical miles (11 km) northeast of the McNaughton Ridges. Named by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1961–62, for A.D. Alekseyev, Soviet polar pilot.
 * Mount Brockelsby (-67.56667°N, 50.18333°W) is a mountain, 1,290 m, standing 7 nautical miles (13 km) north of Simpson Peak. Plotted from air photos taken from ANARE aircraft in 1956. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for W.K. Brockelsby, ionosphere physicist at Mawson Station in 1961.
 * Debenham Peak or Mount Debenham (-67.35°N, 50.43333°W) is a peak, 1,140 m, lying south of Amundsen Bay, about 7 miles (11 km) east of Mount Cronus. Discovered on 13 or 14 January 1930 by BANZARE, who named it for Frank Debenham. The peak was more accurately positioned by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions), 1954-58.
 * Mount George (-67.71667°N, 50°W) is a mountain, 1,555 m, close west of Simpson Peak. Plotted from air photos taken by ANARE in 1956 and 1957. The name was first applied by John Biscoe (1830–31), probably after one of the Enderby Brothers, the owners of his vessel. As Biscoe's feature could not be identified among the many peaks in the area, the name was applied to this feature by ANCA in 1962.
 * Mount Giddings (-67.41667°N, 50.78333°W) is a mountain 6 nautical miles (11 km) southeast of Debenham Peak. Plotted from air photos taken from ANARE aircraft in 1956. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) after J.E. Giddings, cook at Mawson Station in 1961.
 * McNaughton Ridges (-67.53333°N, 50.45°W) is a group of ridges 12 nautical NE (22 km) of Simpson Peak. Plotted from air photos taken from ANARE aircraft in 1956 and 1957. Named by ANCA for I.L.K. McNaughton, physicist at Mawson Station in 1961.
 * Oblachnaya Nunatak (-67.68333°N, 51.26667°W) is a nunatak lying 6 nautical miles (11 km) southeast of Perov Nunataks, at the east margin of Scott Mountains. The geology of the nunatak was investigated by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1961–62, which called it "Gora Oblachnaya" (cloudy mountain).
 * Perov Nunataks (-67.58333°N, 51.1°W) is a small group of nunataks on the eastern edge of the Scott Mountains, 19 mi SE of Debenham Peak. Photographed in October 1956 by ANARE aircraft and surveyed in November 1958 by an airborne field party. Named by ANCA for Viktor Perov, pilot of a Soviet aircraft which flew over this area and rescued the 1958 Belgian field party after an aircraft accident.
 * Simpson Peak (-67.71667°N, 50.11667°W) is a peak, 1,720 m, just east of Mount George in the southwest end of the Scott Mountains]. Discovered on 14 January 1930 by BANZARE under Mawson who named it for Sir George Simpson. The position of the feature was fixed by J.C. Armstrong of ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) in 1959.
 * Ward Rock (-67.13333°N, 51.35°W) is a rounded rock exposure just east of the Howard Hills in the northeast part of the Scott Mountains. Plotted from air photos taken from ANARE aircraft in 1956. Named by Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for F.J. Ward, a member of the crew of Discovery during the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition, 1929-31.

Renaissance Weekend

Renaissance Weekend is the name for a recurring series of invitation-only gatherings founded and hosted by Linda and Philip Lader. The concept was founded in 1981 with the objective of bridging traditional divides of professions, politics, religion, race and age. It substantially increased in prominence when repeat-participant Bill Clinton was elected president in 1992. A few other notable past participants include Hillary Clinton, Supreme Court Justices Harry Blackmun, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, Donald Rumsfeld, Daniel Schorr, Wolf Blitzer Buzz Aldrin, and Mary Chapin Carpenter among many others.

Organized several times throughout the year, each Renaissance Weekend consists of seminars, discussions, informal lectures and performances. Substantive conversations and program contributions by all participants are fostered by a casual, welcoming culture. Civility, non-partisanship, non-commercialism and public-spirited impact are the gatherings’ hallmarks.

History
Renaissance Weekend was founded, and continues to be hosted, by Linda and Philip Lader – the former US Ambassador to the Court of St James's, international business executive and college president – as a unique forum for civic, social, inter-disciplinary and intellectual interaction. The Weekends prompt candid, meaningful dialogue among individuals from diverse backgrounds in a spirit of personal and national renewal. Initially held over New Year's, when the largest gathering is still held, the smaller Weekends throughout each year provide a more intimate setting for discussion.

More than 155 Renaissance Weekends have taken place; each addressing current events, contemporary issues and essential questions of personal experience. While recent years have witnessed an increase in partisanship in America – and as informed, in-person exchanges of viewpoints have become less common, the organization's commitment to Renaissance Weekend's founding objectives has not waivered.

Among the 60 families who initiated the first Weekend on Hilton Head Island were Marian Wright Edelman, David Gergen, Fred Malek, Governors Richard Riley and Terry Sanford, Stan Smith, Diane Sawyer, and Tim Wirth. Over the years, both Republican and Democratic candidates for US President, as well as 26 Nobel laureates, have regularly attended. Presidents Gerald Ford and Bill Clinton co-chaired Renaissance Weekend's 25th anniversary. The 40th anniversary Weekend was celebrated by 1,000 participants, including – as do all the Weekends – many longtime attendees and newcomers who bring new, diverse perspectives.

Format and Activities
Renaissance Weekend's off-the-record content is organized to highlight the expertise and interest of those registered. Participants design their own schedules from each Weekend's hundreds of programs, with different topics covered throughout the days’ simultaneous sessions. Plenaries focus on subjects of the most common interest. The specific schedule is distributed to registrants several weeks before the gathering and is not made public. Prominent authorities, thought-leaders and rising stars address current and vital issues. All participants are encouraged to engage in the informal discussions. Curated mealtime roundtables, local off-site adventures and tours, sabbath services, music, films and late-night social activities are customary parts of the Weekends. “Camp Renaissance” features educational children's activities and talks by explorers, astronauts, authors, athletes and other adult participants whose experiences fascinate young people. Teens and college students are welcome at all sessions and have discussions organized specifically for their contemporaries. Each Weekend is centered at a noteworthy hotel or resort, typically in a recreational destination. Alternative lodging, available at varying pricepoints, is recommended in the vicinity.

Topics
Topics include science and technology, world affairs, government, politics and economics, health, fitness and healthcare, energy and the environment, law, literature, and education, business, finance and investment, space exploration, media, religion and philosophy, non-profits, philanthropy and social entrepreneurship, media, entertainment, and the arts, and family legacies and personal concerns. In recent years, many sessions explore artificial intelligence, Web3, the metaverse, crypto and decentralized finance, biotechnology, cloud and Quantum computing, US-China relations, developments in the Middle East, US fiscal policies, evolution of America's political parties, the future of warfare, the impact of social media, innovations in screen entertainment, and both traditional and novel spiritual practices.

Participants
The roster of past and recent participants, as noted on the Renaissance Weekend website, includes U.S. Presidents, Prime Ministers, Cabinet members, governors and U.S. Senators, U.S. Supreme Court Justices, Nobel laureates, Pulitzer Prize, MacArthur and Motion Picture Academy honorees, astronauts and Olympians, diplomats and judges, well-known entrepreneurs and investors as well as corporate, non-profit, education and other professional leaders, and influential authors, scientists, and artists. Active participation is sought by all registrants, including outstanding journalists, teachers, social workers, clergy, small business owners and innovators with especially diverse occupations. Among past participants have been lion-tamers, international recording stars, imans, convicted bank robbers, peace negotiators, Super Bowl champions, social entrepreneurs, game designers, symphony conductors, screenwriters, nuns, Oscar winners, philanthropists, spies, Space Shuttle commanders, police captains, sex therapists, poets, and NBA All-stars. Invitees are nominated by past participants. The criteria for invitation are professional innovation and/or distinction, potential contribution to the program's breadth and depth, and likely commitment to Renaissance's off-the-record, civility, non-partisan and non-commercial spirit and traditions.

Policies
The Weekends’ candor and freedom of expression are encouraged by their off-the-record tradition. Accordingly, specific Renaissance Weekends’ attendance are not disclosed publicly; the gatherings discourage personal screen device usage; and the Renaissance Institute does not seek publicity. Commercial or overtly promotional activity is not permitted at the Weekends; but participants freely exchange contact details and routinely maintain continuing relations.

Impact and Sponsorship
Ideas and relationships prompted by these Weekends have led to significant public- and private-sector initiatives. Participants often cite the event as a transformative experience that broadens their perspectives and deepens their understanding of complex issues. It is common for enduring, and often unlikely, friendships to commence over Renaissance Weekend discussions characterized by “more light than heat.”

The gatherings are organized by a non-profit institute. To preserve its independence in designing and implementing the Weekends as well as to ensure its commitment to open, apolitical, and non-commercial dialogue, no corporate sponsorships are sought. Costs of participation are borne by those attending.

Talk:Terra (mythology)

my name is megan peterson and iam wondering, what does terra have to do with anything
 * You live on it, stupid. --67.163.226.190 04:32, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Tellus as Earth, the sphere, Terra as earth, the element
I'm not an expert in Latin, Ovid at least does not seem overly concerned with this distinction. I'm working here from Project Gutenberg and A.S. Kline's translation

E.g., Here tellus is very clearly an element

 * Lucidus hic aër, et, quae tria corpora restant,
 * Ignis, aquae, tellus, unus acervus erant.

Here "tellus Arcade" is translated as "Arcadia", so tellus would appear to mean land

 * Orta prior Luna,--de se si creditur ipsi--
 * A magno tellus Arcade nomen habet.

I'm not sure here, even with the translation, but I don't see anything about the earth as a whole

 * Fluminaque, et Fontes, quibus utitur hospita tellus,
 * Et nemorum Nymphae, Naiadumque chori!

On the other hand, it does appear to refer here to the earth as a whole — not in the sense of a spherical planet, but in the sense of "the world".

 * Nec tacet Evandri mater, prope tempus adesse,
 * Hercule quo tellus sit satis usa suo.

If anything, Terra seems more astronomical here

 * Tempora cum causis Latium digesta per annum,
 * Lapsaque sub terras ortaque signa canam.

(translated as "I’ll speak of divisions of time throughout the Roman year/Their origins, and the stars that set beneath the earth and rise.")

However

 * Dexter ades ducibus, quorum secura labore
 * Otia terra ferax, otia pontus agit.

(translated as "Be favourable to the leaders, whose labours win/Peace for the fertile earth, peace for the seas:")

From what I can see, Ovid at least uses both terms in a variety of senses. At this point I'm curious whence the notion that "Tellus" means the sphere and "Terra" the element may derive. -Dmh 06:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

 * After a bit more digging it appears that this may derive from a statement in Book IV of Augustine's City of God, in which he says that the Romans distinguish Terra, Tellus and Tellumo. I also ran across a couple of statements that "Terra" referred to dry land while "Tellus" referred to the world.  In particular, the opening of Metamorphoses uses the two in those senses, but it seems a bit much to draw a general principle from that particular usaage.  Mainly, "Tellus" and "Terra" appear to be used interchangeably, in Latin, in English translations and in commentaries. -16:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

This article should be renamed to Tellus
It's extremely clear from everything this article contains, as well as a review of the history of the terms, that the most used mythological term is Tellus rather than Terra, with the latter primarily being used for lifeless dirt or earth as a general term for any part of the crust itself.

This page should definitely be moved to Tellus. 51.175.156.113 (talk) 15:54, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Camille Pelletan

Charles Camille Pelletan (28 June 1846 – 4 June 1915) was a French politician, historian and journalist, Minister of Marine in Emile Combes' Bloc des gauches (Left-Wing Blocks) cabinet from 1902 to 1905. He was part of the left-wing of the Republican, Radical and Radical-Socialist Party, created in 1902.

Biography
Pelletan was born in Paris, the son of Eugène Pelletan (1813–1884), a writer of some distinction and a noted opponent of the Second Empire.

Camille Pelletan was educated in Paris, passed as licentiate in laws, and studied at the École Nationale des Chartes where he was qualified as an "archiviste paléographe". At the age of twenty he became an active journalist, and a bitter critic of the Imperial Government. After the war of 1870-71 he took a leading place among the Radicals, as an opponent of the "Opportunist Republicans" who continued the policy of Léon Gambetta.} He was parliamentary editor for Le Rappel until 1871, when he was succeeded by Alfred Gaulier. In 1880 he became editor of Justice, and worked with success to bring about a revision of the sentences passed on the Communards. In 1881 he was elected a deputy for the 10th arrondissement of Paris, and in 1885 for the Bouches-du-Rhône département, being reelected in 1889, 1893 and 1898; and he was repeatedly chosen as reporter to the various bureaus.

During the Dreyfus Affair he fought vigorously on behalf of the Republican government and when the coalition known as the Bloc des gauches (Left-Wings Block) was formed he took his place as a Radical leader, becoming a member of the Republican, Radical and Radical-Socialist Party at its creation in 1902, and taking place at its left-wing.

He was nominated as Minister of Marine in the Bloc des gauches cabinet of Émile Combes (June 1902 to January 1905), but his administration was severely criticized, notably by Jean Marie Antoine de Lanessan and other naval experts. During the great sailors strike at Marseille in 1904 he showed pronounced sympathy with the socialistic aims and methods of the strikers, and a strong feeling was aroused that his Radical sympathies tended to a serious weakening of the navy and to destruction of discipline. A somewhat violent controversy resulted, in the course of which Pelletan's indiscreet speeches did him no good; and he became a common subject for ill-natured caricatures.

On the fall of the Combes ministry he became less prominent in French politics. A deputy again for the Bouches du Rhône (until 1912), he voted on 3 July 1905 the 1905 French law on the Separation of the Churches and the State. From 1912 to 1915 he was a senator elected in the Bouches du Rhône electoral district.

Camille Pelletan's name was given to the Parti radical-socialiste Camille Pelletan, a left-wing offshoot of the Republican, Radical and Radical-Socialist Party created after the 6 February 1934 crisis by Gabriel Cudenet, who opposed the participation of several Radicals to the conservative cabinet of Gaston Doumergue, which had replaced the fallen Cartel des gauches (Left-Wings Cartel).

The Pelletan's family tree includes 11 parliamentaries, among whom are Georges Bonnet and Michel Debré.

US Naval officer Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske wrote of Pelletan in his autobiography From Midshipman to Rear Admiral, edited in 1919, that: "Instead of being a friend of the people, as so many French people thought, Camille Pelletan by his course was more dangerous to them than all the German spies in France put together. Camille Pelletan's course did more to break down the defense of the French Republic than a half a million German troops could have done."

Wolf's ticket

A wolf's ticket (Волчий билет, wilczy bilet) is a colloquial expression for a document (an ID, a certificate, etc.) with clauses that restricted rights of a person, such his right to work or study in educational institutions. The phrase and such restrictions were used in the Russian Empire and USSR.

Russia
Originally it was a colloquial phrase in Russian Empire to denote a document issued instead of the internal passport to persons who were given a half-year postponement of katorga or exile for settling personal affairs. The phrase "wolf's certificate" or "wolf's passport" referred to a bad document with which it was impossible to be employed. It also referred to a passport marked with a notice about political unreliability.

Later, it denoted a limited certificate for completion of studies. Unlike a regular diploma, it merely stated that the studies were completed, but the student was not allowed to take exams for reasons of poor study or improper behavior.

A wolf's ticket was a serious impediment to one's career. Still later this phrase was applied to a document issued in place of an internal passport to persons released from imprisonment ("certificate of release"). Usually this kind of document restricted the rights of a citizen in terms of place of residence (the 101st kilometre rule), occupation, and so on.

Poland
In Poland, "wolf's ticket" wilczy bilet) means an informal official negative opinion that prevented a person from traveling abroad, taking up studies or working due to offenses committed by him, usually of a political nature.

White Island (Enderby Land)

White Island is a 13 nmi and 5 nmi ice-covered island in Enderby Land, Antarctica. 8 nmi Styles Strait separates it from Sakellari Peninsula. Discovered and called Hvitøya ("White Island") by Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen in January 1930, its existence was considered doubtful for a number of years but was confirmed by the Soviet expedition in the Lena in March 1957, and by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) led by D.F. Styles in the Thala Dan in February 1960.

Osgoode Ward

Osgoode Ward (Ward 20) is a municipal ward located in the rural southeast corner of the City of Ottawa. It mostly consists of the former Osgoode Township and parts of the former city of Gloucester. It is represented on Ottawa City Council by George Darouze.

The ward contains the communities of Greely, Osgoode, Metcalfe, Edwards, Kenmore, Vernon, South Gloucester, Ficko, Limebank and Johnston Corners.

The ward was created for the 2000 municipal elections in preparation for Osgoode Township's amalgamation into the city of Ottawa. Prior to that, Osgoode Township was located in Cumberland-Osgoode Ward on the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton regional council.

From 2000 to 2006, the ward consisted solely of the former Township of Osgoode. Beginning with the 2006 election, the boundaries changed to add much of rural southern Gloucester to the ward.

Phantom Gourmet

The Phantom Gourmet is a food-related television program featuring profiles of New England area restaurants. The show airs on WSBK-TV in Boston, Massachusetts, WNAC-DT2 in Providence, Rhode Island, and WPXT in Portland, Maine each Saturday and Sunday morning, with an hour episode composed of older clips followed by an hour-long episode (either new or rerun). While the original format featured reviews by the "Phantom Critic" and numerical ratings of the restaurants, the reviews and numerical ratings have been discontinued. The show continues to feature local restaurants but focuses on describing dishes and profiling chefs and owners. In late spring of 2006, the company behind the show came out with its first Boston restaurant guide, entitled The Phantom Gourmet Guide to Boston's Best Restaurants.

Show format
In addition to restaurant profiles, the show features interviews with restaurant owners and chefs, a segment on determining the best grocery item of a chosen category(Top of the Food Chain), and a segment on recipes. The show also gives a Great 8 selection of restaurants that are the best in their category, and a Hidden Jewel that features a unique restaurant that people may not have heard of. At the end of each show, a Dish Worth Driving To award is awarded, which is a restaurant in the outlying areas of the Metro Boston area (though sometimes as far away as Rhode Island or New Hampshire).

When the show was still assigning numerical ratings to restaurants, the rating was based on ten criteria: atmosphere, menu, appetizers, entrees, desserts, portion sizes, service, cleanliness, value, and location. Each element was rated 1 - 10, leading to final rankings of:
 * Phan-tastic Dining (~90-100)
 * Gourmet Greatness (~80-90)
 * Phantom Approved (~75-80)
 * Phantom Mezza Mezza (~65-75)
 * Phantom Flawed (~65 and below)

History
The program broadcast its first episode on June 26, 1993, on New England Cable News with host Steve Martorano. The show gained a cult following almost immediately and was given a Best of Boston award by Boston Magazine in 1994 for Best Talk Show. NECN broadcast the show for a decade.

In March 2003, the Phantom Gourmet made a deal with Viacom to move the show to WSBK-TV beginning on September 20, 2003, where it has been since. During the transition, the original host, Billy Costa began a new show, TV Diner. The deal also led to the "Restaurant Report Card" segment of the show to appear on sister station WBZ-TV's newscasts. The show was also added to WLWC's programming schedule, bringing the show to the Providence, Rhode Island area, where NECN had been largely unavailable.

The Phantom Gourmet was suspended on June 14, 2020 following social media comments made by host Dave Andelman that mocked the George Floyd protests. The show returned to WSBK-TV on August 29, 2020.

The Andelmans
When Phantom Gourmet moved to broadcast television in 2003, CEO David (Dave) Andelman, who also was the show's second host on NECN, tapped WBZ-TV news reporter David Robichaud to serve as host (2003–2005) before turning the job over to his own younger brother, Feedback Forum segment host Dan Andelman, who then became the show's full-time and current host. Dave Andelman continues to run the company while also appearing as an unseen narrator during the restaurant segments and frequent on-air contributor. During special theme shows (usually ones that discuss more popular fare like chain restaurants and fast food), the two Andelman brothers are sometimes joined in a panel by other brother Michael. Their father, Eddie, known for his annual "Hot Dog Safari" charity event, has also been featured on the show as an expert on hot dogs. Dave Andelman appeared on an episode of Throwdown! with Bobby Flay as one of the local judges for a meatloaf throwdown which took place on Cape Cod.

In June 2020, Dave Andelman posted a series of social media posts that appeared to show opposition to Black Lives Matter as well as dismissing the seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic. After WBZ, the station that airs The Phantom Gourmet, received a large number of complaints, Dave Andelman apologized for his posts spanning the last ten days. On Sunday, June 14, WBZ announced that it was suspending broadcasts of The Phantom Gourmet indefinitely. Andelman resigned as CEO of Phantom Gourmet on June 16.

Radio
In 2008, the Phantom Gourmet discontinued the radio segments that aired on WBZ each morning at 10:56 and each weekend afternoon at 2:56 and 3:56. This version had been on the air since 1995, and usually consisted of an audio version of a Restaurant Report Card, although at times a Great 8 segment appeared on the station. (As a result of corporate mergers, WBZ radio is now co-owned with WSBK-TV, and was formerly co-owned with WLWC as well.) A "Phantom Gourmet" radio show debuted on April 7, 2007, on Boston's WTKK (96.9 FM). It aired on Fridays from 10AM-1PM with a replay on Saturdays from 4PM-7PM local time. This program left the air when WTKK changed to a music format in January 2013.

In print and online
The Phantom's report cards also appear in print in the Boston Herald Friday editions, and online at the Phantom Gourmet's website after each episode airs. The website also contains web versions of the Great 8, Top of the Food Chain, and Hidden Jewel segments of the television program.

The critic
The term Phantom Gourmet is also used to describe the critic who reviews each of the above programs. According to the website, the Phantom "pays his own way" and dines under a disguise to give the most trustworthy restaurant reviews the company can possibly give to their viewers. This is done because the producers believe that recognizable critics are given special service above what average customers receive, whereas concealing the Phantom's identity allows him a more accurate representation of what other customers experience. To this end, the Phantom Gourmet staff refuse to disclose the Phantom's name to the general public. The only clues that have been given are that he doesn't live in Boston or Providence and it has been stated that the Phantom is not Andelman. On the June 3, 2006 show, host Dan Andelman conducted an interview with the Phantom, whose voice and identity were altered. They revealed that the Phantom's favorite food is pizza, and also that, despite the show's use of "he" to refer to the critic, the Phantom could still be a woman.

At some point prior to 2013, the Phantom critic and his reviews were removed from the television program's format. The show continues to feature local restaurants but focuses on describing dishes and profiling chefs and owners. Numerical ratings have been discontinued.

Special events
Every fall, the Phantom Gourmet Food Festival is held near Fenway Park on Landsdowne Street. The Phantom's most critically acclaimed restaurants in Boston and the Greater Boston area serve various foods at the event. Due to alcohol served, the gala is a 21+ event.

On May 2, 2009 the company hosted a new event, The Phantom Gourmet Wine & Food Phest at the Bayside Expo Center. The tagline for the event, which featured 30 wines and 30 foods and a giant purple dance floor, was “wine snobs need not apply.”

Andelman and his brothers have also taken over the longtime hot dog fundraiser that their father, sports radio talk show host Eddie Andelman, had hosted for the last 19 years. The renamed Phantom Gourmet Hot Dog Safari was held on May 31, 2009, at Suffolk Downs. All proceeds went to the Joey Fund and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

The Phantom Gourmet BBQ Beach Party has changed its name because they changed its focus to include music. The 2014 Phantom Gourmet BBQ & Music Festival was headlined by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and took place over three days on Boston's City Hall Plaza.
