Paveletskaya (Koltsevaya line)

Paveletskaya (Павеле́цкая) is a station on the Koltsevaya line and Zamotskvoretskaya line of the Moscow Metro. Opened on 1 January 1950 as part of the first segment of the fourth stage, the station is a pylon-trivault built in the style of the late 1940/early 1950s Stalinist architecture to a design by architects Nikolai Kolli and I. Kasetl. The station's theme comes from the Paveletsky railway terminal from which trains depart towards the Volga Region. Thus agricultural influences are clearly seen, these include the square white koyelga marble columns decorated with red marble strips, flanked by marble columns with modern Ionic capitals. Bright bronze chandeliers provide lighting. The walls repeat the two tone marble, white on top, red on bottom, and the floor is laid with grey and white granite.

The station's vestibule is built into the corner of the Garden Ring and Zemlyannoy Val, and occupies the ground floor of the building there. Inside above the escalator is a circular mosaic panel by Pavel Korin Red Square which depicts the Lenin's Mausoleum and the Saint Basil's Cathedral, framed by a bas-relief with typical soviet banners and floral arrangements with names of Volga cities on the sides. The vestibule has another artwork by Iosif Rabinovich, which is a mosaic on the dome of the vestibule on the theme of the permanent end to drought in the Volga.

As the station was made to be a transfer point to Paveletskaya station of the Zamoskvoretskaya line, the vestibule was built as an entrance to both stations, however as the radial station of the Zamoskvoretskaya line was undergoing reconstruction the vestibule doubled as a transfer point. A direct corridor was opened only on 30 July 1955, which saw the addition of large staircases surrounded by marble balustrades in the centre of the platform. The other major change was that initially in the end of the station was a large medallion with image of Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin, but during the 1961 de-Stalinization drive this was removed and instead replaced by the present artwork by Pavel Korin showing the Coat of Arms of the Soviet Union being held by a worker man and peasant woman amid floral backgrounds.

Bombay Tournament (cricket)

The Bombay Tournament was an annual cricket competition held in British India between 1892 and 1946. Until 1936, matches were played on either the Gymkhana Ground in Bombay or the Deccan Gymkhana Ground in Poona, and then at the Brabourne Stadium in Bombay until the tournament was terminated in 1946. The tournament was known variously as the Bombay Presidency Match, Bombay Triangular, Bombay Quadrangular, and Bombay Pentangular, depending on the number of competing teams.

Presidency Match
The tournament had its origins in an annual match played between the European members of the Bombay Gymkhana and the Parsis of the Zoroastrian Cricket Club. The first such game was played in 1877, when the Bombay Gymkhana accepted a request for a two-day match from the Parsis. The game was played in good spirit, with the Parsis surprising the Europeans by taking a first innings lead. The Gymkhana recovered, but the match was drawn with the sides evenly poised. The challenge was played again in 1878 and looked set to become an annual event, but racial discontent intervened. From 1879 to 1883, the Parsis and Hindus of Bombay were locked in a struggle against the governing Europeans over the use of the playing fields known as the Bombay Maidan. Gymkhana members would play polo on the field, rendering much of it useless for cricket because of the large divots left by the horses, while sparing their own European-only cricket ground. With this dispute settled in favour of the natives, the Europeans versus Parsis matches resumed in 1884.

The 1889 game was memorable as a thrilling victory to the Parsis, with the Gymkhana being set a target of 53 to win: Parsi captain M.E. Pavri bowled well to help dismiss the Europeans for 50, giving the Parsis a two-run victory. Matches from 1892–93 are given first-class status: the match that began at Bombay Gymkhana on 26 August 1892 is considered the earliest first-class match in India.

By 1900, the Presidency Match – as the Europeans versus Parsis game had come to be called – was the highlight of the Bombay cricket season. In the 19 matches to this year, the teams had won eight each and drawn three.

Bombay Triangular
While the Europeans and Parsis were regularly playing against each other, the Hindu Gymkhana had been amassing its own quality players. In 1906, the Hindus challenged the Parsis to a match, but the communal differences between the clubs led the Parsis to decline. The Bombay Gymkhana stepped in and accepted the challenge, leading to the first Europeans versus Hindus match, played that February. The Hindu side ended up recording a stunning 110-run victory over the Europeans. The Hindus boasted Palwankar Baloo, who is regarded as India's first great spin bowler, and perhaps the first person from the Chamar caste  to make an impact in an Indian sporting arena. He was not allowed the captaincy of the team because of his caste, but his younger brother Palwankar Vithal, a batsman, would go on to captain the Hindus in 1923, following a campaign to accord recognition to the Palwankar brothers in the wake of the anti-casteism advocated during the Indian Independence Movement.

The next year, 1907, saw the first Triangular tournament featuring teams from the Bombay and Hindu Gymkhanas as well as the Zoroastrian Cricket Club. From 1907 to 1911 the tournament was played in September, with the Parsis winning three times and the Europeans twice.

Bombay Quadrangular
In 1912, the Muslims of the Mohammedan Gymkhana were invited to the now famous Bombay tournament, making it a Quadrangular. The tournament was held throughout World War I, but poor weather at the end of the monsoon season rained out four of the six finals played up until 1916. In 1917, the Quadrangular was moved to November/December to avoid such problems. Another change for the 1917 tournament was the use of neutral umpires for the first time. Up to this season, a European umpire appointed by the Bombay Gymkhana had always officiated, but from now on the umpires for any match would be supplied by the non-competing teams. This was one of the first uses of neutral umpires in world cricket.

The Quadrangular became more popular than its predecessor, and for many years formed the highlight of the Bombay year. This was against the backdrop of Mohandas K. Gandhi's campaigns for the Indian home rule. Gandhi and his followers were critical of the Quadrangular, seeing the tournament as having the effect of quelling opposition to British colonial rule by ensuring continued support toward Britain's presence and cultural influence on the Indian subcontinent. Gandhi, who had himself played cricket as a schoolboy, was not against having a cricket tournament, but was opposed to having teams formed on the basis of their religion. In 1940 he is known to have asked the "sporting public of Bombay to revise their sporting code and to erase from it communal matches."

The 1921 tournament attracted particular attention, as the Prince of Wales visited Bombay during it. His arrival sparked three days of political rioting in Bombay, but did not disrupt the tournament. After the riots had ended, he attended the first day of the final, accepting cheers from a pro-European crowd, who eventually witnessed the Parsis prevail over the Bombay Gymkhana.

By the 1920s, the Gymkhanas were recruiting players from all over the Indian subcontinent, making the Bombay Quadrangular the biggest and most influential cricket tournament in India. It also inspired other local competitions, including a Triangular in Lahore and Quadrangulars in Nagpur and Karachi, that led to the rapid development of cricket throughout the region. Although the Quadrangular partly quelled discrimination on racial or caste lines, the question of religion came up in 1924. The Hindu Gymkhana initially extended an invitation to P. A. Kanickam of Bangalore to play for them. Later they discovered that the player was not a Hindu, but a Christian, and withdrew their invitation. With the Europeans not accepting Indians, and the Hindus not accepting Christians, Kanickam had no way of playing in the tournament.

In 1930, Gandhi's campaign reached a climax with the Salt Satyagraha, provoking civil disobedience and the arrests of 60,000 Indians. Amidst this political turmoil, the Quadrangular tournament was cancelled. It was not held again until 1934, when the cricket-starved public enthusiastically supported its reinstatement. In 1935, the sports editor of the nationalist Bombay Chronicle, J. C. Maitra, suggested the Quadrangular be replaced with a geographic-zone-based tournament, to remove the racial and religious overtones. A newspaper correspondent argued an opposite case, for expansion into a Pentangular, with a team for Indian Christians. The public however clamoured for the traditional format and these suggestions were ignored.

Bombay Pentangular
Finally, in 1937, a fifth team, called The Rest, was admitted to the tournament. It comprised Buddhists, Jews, and Indian Christians. On the odd occasion, players from Ceylon appeared for them including at least one Hindu. The first Pentangular, however, was played between just four teams, as the Hindus withdrew in protest over not being allocated what they considered a fair share of seats in the new Brabourne Stadium.

From 1938, the Pentangular attracted growing criticism as being divisive because of the communalism implicit in the makeup of the teams. This was exacerbated by the growing political movement for Indian independence, which wished to foster unity amongst Indians as opposed to competition. Eventually, amidst a backdrop of rioting and political unrest across India, the newly formed Board of Control for Cricket in India announced in 1946 that the Pentangular tournament was being abandoned, and being replaced by a zonal competition. The Ranji Trophy, in which regional teams from all over India compete, became the pre-eminent Indian cricket competition.

Bo Svenson

Bo Svenson (born 13 February 1941) is a Swedish-American actor, director, producer, and screenwriter, known for his roles in American genre films of the 1970s and 1980s.

Early life
Svenson was born in Sweden, the son of Birger Ragnar Svensson (1917–?), an athlete and the personal driver and bodyguard for the King of Sweden, and musician/big band leader Iris Viola "Lola" Svensson (1912–1998).

Svenson emigrated to the United States when he was 17, joined the United States Marine Corps, and served until his honorable discharge six years later. After his military service, Svenson settled in Florida, where he earned his living in various jobs, including professional race car driver. His first state of residence in the United States was Georgia, where he became familiar with the rural Southern accent he later employed in some of his roles. He has since become a naturalized United States citizen.

He also holds a fourth degree (Yondan) black belt in judo. He earned his first degree (Shodan) belt at Kodokan in Japan, the home dojo of Judo, while stationed in Japan in 1961 as a Marine. He was the 1961 Far East Judo Champion in the Heavyweight Division.

Career
In the late 1960s, Svenson had a recurring role in the TV series Here Come the Brides as Lumberjack Olaf "Big Swede" Gustavsen. He appeared in the 1973 made-for-TV movie Frankenstein, in which he plays the "Creature".

One of his first big-screen movie roles was opposite Robert Redford in The Great Waldo Pepper, where Redford and Svenson play rival ex-WWI U.S. Army Air Service pilots who are now employed in the hard and dangerous but wildly adventurous lives of 1920s barnstorming pilots, touring the Midwest.

In his next pursuit, Svenson took over the role of lawman Buford Pusser from Joe Don Baker in both sequels to the hit 1973 film Walking Tall, after Pusser himself, who had originally agreed to take over the role, died in an automobile crash. He reprised the role again for the short-lived 1981 television series of the same name.

One of his most famous roles in films was as murder-witness-turned-vigilante Michael McBain in the 1976 cult classic Breaking Point. He played the Soviet agent Ivan in the Magnum, P.I. episode "Did You See the Sunrise?" (1982) and many years later had a cameo as an American colonel in Inglourious Basterds, as a tribute to his role in The Inglorious Bastards; he is the only actor to appear in both films.

Svenson got name-checked by Breaking Bad 's Mike Ehrmantraut.

Work with Fred Williamson
Svenson has co-starred in a number of films with Fred Williamson. They include, The Inglorious Bastards (1978), Deadly Impact (1984), Delta Force Commando (1987), The Kill Reflex (1989), Three Days to a Kill (1991), and Steele's Law (1991)

Outside acting
Svenson maintains an active role in the entertainment industry and is the Founder and CEO of MagicQuest Entertainment, a Hollywood production company since 1975, and Founder and CEO of CanAm Film Corp., a British Columbia corporation since 1992.

Talk:Running the gauntlet

Spelling
Not only have I (double-)checked my facts, but The Columbia Guide to Standard American English (1993) apparently has as well. See http://www.bartleby.com/68/8/2708.html. However, I have no intention of getting into an edit war over a single letter. You win, have the article anyway you like. ➥the Epopt 12:57, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

The word gauntlet is a corruption of a foreign word, borrowed into English several centuries ago, and appears in a whole number of different spellings, as such a word is liable to. The OED lists, alongside ga(u)ntlet, the variants gantloop, gauntlope, and gant(e)lope. Whether one form should be preferred over another, so as, for instance, to distinguish the punishment from the glove, may be debatable, but the form gantlet cannot be declared to be unequivocally correct and the others wrong.--Rallette 11:31, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I think the question is not over the spelling of the word ga(u)ntlet in and of itself, but rather the spelling in the context of the phrase. Using Running the gauntlet as the title of the article is to take something of a descriptivist/populist view that's probably not justified by most major reference books, whereas Running the gantlet is to take the elitist view that is probably not justified by common usage outside of academic circles. Similar things can be said for the phrase begging the question (except in that case the spelling is the same but the meaning is different) and anything else caught up in the prescriptivist/descriptivist crossfire. Incidentally, if you search the NY Times archives for "running the gantlet" vs. "running the gauntlet", they used the latter in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but they seem to exclusively use the former in recent times. Jun-Dai (talk) 15:39, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Suggestions
Move the article to gauntlet (disambiguation) or running the gauntlet as "fustuarium" is not a well-known word.

Explain "running the gauntlet" in its well-known (non-fatal) variations. Emphasize the distinction between the form of execution and the punishment which gives the person a chance of living.

Emphasize also the games or hazing rituals which are not intended to cause severe injuries. Uncle Ed 16:37, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Sources; article refactoring
It seems like this article violates the principle of least astonishment, in that's it's really about the phrase "running the gauntlet", not "fustuarium". Also, the references currently given are less than adequate for the current content:

 * The | Corpun (World Corporal Punishment Research) link isn't very specific. The site itself seems to be more of a link collection than an actual reference. I had to hunt through the page provided, only to find a couple of relatively modern "running the gauntlet" examples. The site search engine turned up no hits of "fustuarium", and "gauntlet" and "running the gauntlet" mostly turned up the same examples and a single useful but terse mention buried in Gunplot.net's "Naval Customs, Traditions, and Phrases".

 * I replaced the | Online Etymology Dictionary link, which had only 2 lines about the military use of "gauntlet", with its link to Dictionary.com, which was rather more substantial.

 * The Spanish "Prizes and punishments" link has the only reference to "fustuarium" in any of the sources, but it appears to be a personal website. I'm not comfortable enough with Spanish to hunt for its sources readily. The relevant content comes from its "Castigos" ("Punishment") section. Here's my rough translation:
 * Legion discipline was severe, but not as severe as generally thought. Capital punishment was applied infrequently and only in extremely grave cases, like abandoning of post or desertion. The usual way to execute the condemned was the fustuarium: the criminal was struck with stakes until killed by his fellow soldiers, whom he put in danger by his conduct. If a whole unit deserted or rebelled, rather than executing all its members, "decimation" was applied — one in ten men were chosen by lot to undergo [capital] punishment. The rest were punished by being forced to live outside the camp and subsist on barley until being pardoned. These serious punishments were rare. More commonly, offenders were given blows from twigs, posted to additional guard duty, assigned unpleasant tasks like latrine service, etc. Other punishments included reduction in rank and dishonorable discharge of the legion.

I agree with Uncle Ed above that this article should be moved to Running the gauntlet. At the same time, it should either be refactored so that this phrase leads the article, and the "fustuarium" material be turned into an origin section — assuming we can find references to back this up — or completely removed and transferred to a new fustuarium article (with appropriate edit-history credit on its talk page), since most of the edits here seem to have been about "running the gaunlet" material. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 14:24, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Jogues
The Jesuit Isaac Jogues has written that he was subject to this treatment while a prisoner of the Iroquois in 1641. He described the ordeal in a letter that appears in the book "The Jesuit Martyrs of North America" (c 1925, The Universal Knowledge Foundation, p 163).

He writes that "Before arriving (at the Iroquois Village) we met the young men of the country, in a line armed with sticks..." and that he and his fellow Frenchmen were made to walk slowly past them "for the sake of giving time to anyone who struck us."

Can't quite see how to fit this in to the article in it's present form without restructuring it which I am not ambitious enough to do. Editdroid 02:36, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Not an execution method
I've removed this from category "execution methods." While death often resulted from running the gauntlet, it was not the principal goal in the vast majority of cases, and many people survived it. In that sense it is distinguishable from execution methods like hanging, where the sentence specified that the victim be hanged until dead, and the victim would be hanged again if he survived the first attempt. Pirate Dan 21:29, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree. While almost all cases definitely did not result in death and were not meant to, I'm sure that the small percentage of cases that did result in death were mostly MEANT to be executions, eventhough maybe most of them unofficially. СЛУЖБА (talk) 11:34, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Native American Usage
I just read that the gauntlet was a ceremony that was often misunderstood as a form of torture, but was seen as a way for the captives to leave their European society and become a tribal member per Dyar, Jennifer. (2003) "Fatal Attraction: The White Obsession with Indianness." The Historian. June 2003. Vol 65 Issue 4 pages 817–836 on page 823. Any quibbles? Best, Smmurphy(Talk) 08:10, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Some sources claim it could also take the form of stoning.
removed: "Some sources claim it could also take the form of stoning. "

as it: is weaselly (some sources claim)/disparages the 'source' by using the POV word 'claim'/etc.

I have doubt about this claim without sources as well, I have not known of any other connection between death by stoning and the phrase "running the gauntlet"...

We need a source for this if it exists, before we include the phrase. User:Pedant (talk) 20:10, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Origin
I think the opening needs some explication of the origin of the phrase. User:Pedant (talk) 20:31, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

communist Poland
Security Service in communist Poland in 1980s was known of treating opposition activists this way (the practice was ironically called 'ścieżka zdrowia' - 'path of health', which was also a name of real paths in parks on which exercise devices were placed). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.219.188.205 (talk) 20:24, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Spelling is BritEng, not AmEng
oxforddictionaries.com supports "running the gauntlet", but only "gantlet" is supported by merriam-webster.com, Webster's New World Dictionary, and Chicago (at 5.220) ... although to be fair, Chicago does say the alternate spelling is "frequently seen" ... they just don't like it. Do any AmEng dictionaries support this spelling? - Dank (push to talk) 14:02, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

This appears in the Native American section. Is that the correct section for this example? A chapter or page reference would be helpful. Varlaam (talk) 02:55, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually the reference is to the 1975 movie by Stanley Kubrick. I removed this and other references to fictional films as a "source" for Native American practice. — ℜob C. alias ÀLAROB  18:33, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Rugby tunnel
The reference to a rugby tunnel, where-

"The host side forms the tunnel first, through which their opposition runs and are bumped and slapped. Directly afterward, the opposition forms a tunnel of their own and the hosts receive similar treatment."

-must be removed, for the simple reason that it is laughably false.

Find me one citation that can attest to this in the modern game. You won't be able to find one, because it's utter rubbish.

Anyone who has played the game knows that the tunnel is simply the congratulatory salute that one team gives to the other after a match.

The reference to 'bumping' and 'slapping' actually made me laugh. Handshakes are in fact the rather boring norm. Please lose this reference. It's the kind of thing that gives Wikipedia a bad name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.156.77.96 (talk) 20:16, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

gantlet
The alternative spelling GANTLET is in common use in 2017, in mainstream sources, newspapers etc. It deserves to be included prominently in the lede (the current lede does not mention it at all).

 * grammarist.com/usage/gantlet-gauntlet/
 * Gantlet vs. gauntlet

Gantlet was the original spelling of the word referring to a form of punishment in which people armed with sticks or other weapons arrange themselves in two lines and beat a person forced to run between them. It came from the earlier English word gantlope, which in turn comes from the Swedish gatlopp.1 Gauntlet is an alternative spelling of gantlet, but it also has several definitions of its own, mostly related to gloves. Gantlet was the preferred spelling in early use of the phrase run the gauntlet—meaning to suffer punishment by gantlet or to endure an onslaught or ordeal—but gauntlet prevailed by the 18th century. Today, most writers use gauntlet, though gantlet, which is especially common in American English, is not incorrect. The phrase throw down the gauntlet, meaning to issue or accept a challenge, uses gauntlet in its glove-related sense. It derives from the practice among medieval knights of challenging each other to duels by throwing down their gauntlets. So gantlet does not work as an alternative spelling here.

And the article should mention somewhere that either spelling is correct usage for RUNNING THE, but only GAUNTLET is correct usage for THROWING DOWN THE.-71.174.189.52 (talk) 13:49, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Claims needing sources
Moving some unsourced sentences here for review:
 * "[Running the gauntlet] was also common practice in the French army, especially for thieves."
 * "Mild forms, not intended to cause permanent damage, have also been used on or by children."
 * "Running the gauntlet was also used in training, notably on military cadets, as in a scene in the movie Oberst Redl."
 * "A Prussian cavalry variation was to beat the condemned with stirrup straps instead of rods."

Welcome input from anyone that has a reliable source for these. -- Euryalus (talk) 22:29, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Salvador P. Lopez

Salvador Ponce Lopez (May 27, 1911 – October 18, 1993) was a Filipino writer, journalist, educator, diplomat and statesman.

He studied at the University of the Philippines (UP) and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in English in 1931 and a Master of Arts degree in Philosophy in 1933. At UP, he was drama critic for the Philippine Collegian and member of Upsilon Sigma Phi. From 1933 to 1936, Lopez taught literature and journalism at the University of Manila. He also became a daily columnist and magazine editor of the Philippine Herald until World War II.

In 1940, Lopez's essay "Literature and Society" won the Commonwealth Literary Awards. His essay posited that art must have substance and that poet José García Villa's adherence to "art for art's sake" is decadent. The essay provoked debates, the discussion centering on proletarian literature, i.e., engaged or committed literature versus the orientation of literature as an art for the sake of art itself. In 1953, Lopez authored an important report on Freedom of Information for the United Nations.

He was appointed by President Diosdado Macapagal as Secretary of Foreign Affairs and then became ambassador to the United Nations for six years before being reassigned to France for seven years. He would also serve as Chairperson of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.

Lopez was the president of the University of the Philippines from 1969 to 1975. He established a system of democratic consultation wherein decisions such as promotions and appointments were made through greater participation by faculty and administrative personnel; he also reorganized UP into the UP System.

It was during Lopez's presidency that UP students were politically radicalized, launching mass protests against the Marcos regime right from the so-called "First Quarter Storm" in 1970 to the Diliman Commune in 1971. During the latter, Lopez called on all UP students, faculty, and employees to defend the university and its autonomy from Marcos's militarization, as the military sought to occupy the campus in search of alleged leftists, activists, and other opponents of the regime. Due to his defense of UP's autonomy and democracy, many considered him a progressive and a militant member of the UP academe.

Superintendents
Hanna took over the reins as superintendent after years of serving as a high school principal. Hanna is the only superintendent to not oversee the opening of any new schools. However, his leadership did oversee the middle school addition to Woodville School. Under Hanna's leadership the district has continued to score a B letter grade from the FL Dept. of Education. Since Hanna took office the districts graduation rate has also improved significantly, now ranking LCS in the top 5 of all Florida school districts with a 94% graduation rate. In 2019, Hanna was named Florida Music Educators Association's Superintendent of the Year for his contributions as superintendent to arts education. Hanna's leadership was also tested with navigating through the coronavirus pandemic. This required Hanna to switch the district to a one to one technology learning platform, a platform several Florida school districts had been on for years prior. Hanna won reelection in 2020, 60-40 over his opponent. Hanna is currently in his second term until 2024.
 * Rocky Hanna, 2016–Present

Pons took over the district with the hope to continue the continuous success that Montford had built. Pons oversaw the opening of two new schools and the closure of Belle Vue Middle School in the late 2000's. While school grades and scores did not stay as high as they previously were, the FL Dept. of Education began issuing overall school district grades in 2010. Under Pons' leadership the district received three A's, three B's and one C. During Pons' time, three schools were honored by being named a National Blue Ribbon School. Pons also oversaw several construction projects to update school sites as many in the district were dated back to the 60's and 80's. In 2014 an investigation was opened by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement into Pons' handling of several construction contracts. This investigation carried on into the 2016 election where Pons became the third LCS Superintendent to be unseated from office, but the first to be unseated after more than one term. Pons lost to former LCS Principal Rocky Hanna, 54-36. The investigation into Pons was then closed in 2018 with all charges dropped. Post superintendency, Pons went on to be a resource for several educational resources in the community including Florida A&M University. In 2021, Pons was announced as principal in neighboring Jefferson County.
 * Jackie Pons, 2006-2016

Longtime high school principal Bill Montford won the 1996 election to serve as superintendent. Montford was elected as a new fresh start and as the viewpoint from someone who had recent experience in a school setting. During Montford's leadership he oversaw the opening of three new school sites, the consolidation of Bond and Wesson Elementary Schools, along with the closure of Brevard Elementary. All in efforts relieve overcrowding. Superintendent Montford guided the district through the new era of standardized testing with the roll out of FCAT testing, along with the roll out of school accountability and school grades. The district made great academic strides under Montford. In the summer of 2001, 72% of schools were graded an A or a B by the FL Dept. of Education meaning only 9 schools had scored the letter grade of a C. In the summer of 2003, 90% of schools received an A or a B with only 4 schools being graded a C. Montford is also credited for expanding Pre-Kindergarten classes throughout the county. Five schools were also given the distinct recognition of being named a National Blue Ribbon School during Montford's time. Montford also continued to increase salaries for all district employees during his tenure, making LCS one of the highest paying in the region. Montford went on to serve as Florida Senator from 2010-2020 after decades of service to Leon County Schools. William J. Montford Middle School was opened in 2008, in his honor.
 * William "Bill" J. Montford, 1996-2006

Long time school board member Richard Merrick was elected superintendent in 1992. Merrick had also ran for the job in 1988, but was unsuccessful. Mr. Merrick was hopeful to bring consistency back to the school district. Mr. Merrick continued with Mr. Woolley's plans to open three new school. A new K-8 school opened in 1994 and an elementary and middle school followed in 1995. However the changes in leadership resulted in construction whoas. Both 1995 schools were forced to open before they were completed. The middle school opened simply with classrooms only, no front office, no cafeteria, no gym. These school openings did not reflect well on Merrick as it was the middle of his term. Merrick also oversaw several zoning changes in the district as several schools were becoming extremely overcrowded, Merrick also had to "cap" a few schools which required students to be bussed elsewhere. As some schools were being opened unfinished while others down the street had no room for anymore students, Merrick lost his 1996 reelection campaign and became the second superintendent to be unseated and only serve one term.
 * Richard Merrick, 1992-1996

Mr. Woolley took over the superintendent reigns following a long history of successful predecessors. Woolley intended to make changes to the district, changes he felt Couch would not make. Immediately after Woolley took over, he announced several leadership changes in the district which resulted in the transfers of almost every principal to a new school. These transfers were met with large backlash from school communities. The same year of Woolleys transfers, he oversaw the opening of two new elementary schools that were planned by previous superintendent Couch. The following year he also oversaw a new middle school opening. Woolley continued to make several administrative changes at schools into the early 90's, some schools found themselves with a new administrator year after year. Woolley began the process to open a new elementary, middle and K-8 school in the district, however all three opened after he left office. Woolley was the first superintendent in LCS history to only serve one term and to be unseated during an election.
 * William "Bill" Woolley, 1988-1992

Mr. Couch took on the role as superintendent during a period when Leon County as a whole was expanding beyond the city limits. This required Couch to oversee the opening of four new elementary schools. He had also began plans to open a 5th elementary and 2nd middle school, however both schools opened once he had left office. Mr. Couch was known as a hands off superintendent, as not many drastic changes were made under his leadership.
 * Charles Couch, 1981-1988

Mr. Ashmore was elected superintendent of Leon County Schools after several years of serving as an area principal of various schools. Mr. Ashmore would guide the district through the desegregation era. This time period was met by many challenges to Mr. Ashmore as it did to many throughout the country. As schools became integrated several black only schools closed for the students to integrate to the previous white only schools. With both demographics coming together to one school, there was instantly a need for more schools throughout the district to accommodate the integration. Mr. Ashmore oversaw the opening of eleven school sites between 1966 and 1970, the most sites to be built in the smallest period of time in LCS history. Mr. Ashmore also began plans to open a new high school, the second high school under his leadership, however it opened once he left office. Mr. Ashmore retired in 1972 after 40+ years of education service.
 * Dr. Edward Fenn, 1977-1981
 * Ned Lovell, 1973-1977
 * Freeman Ashmore, 1965-1973

Mr. Godby became Superintendent of Leon County Schools on January 5, 1945. Highlights of his lengthy tenure of leadership include a $5 million bond issue; the raising of Leon County taxpayers' house assessments to appropriate more money for schools; the accreditation of all Leon County public schools; the construction of several of the oldest schools in Leon County to date; and the transition from the one-room schoolhouse into a consolidated school system with more qualified personnel. Two years after Godby left office, the district decided to honor him by naming the newest high school after him and his service. Godby went on to serve as an advocate and pillar in education for students all across Florida. He traveled to all parts of the state, working with school personnel and citizens in an effort to improve education. Through his efforts many new ideas and programs were developed: e.g., driver's education classes, summer school programs, the use of educational television.
 * Amos P. Godby, 1945-1965

Garuda Links
Hi there- The section that you added to the Garuda article about the story of Garuda and his position in Hindu mythology is a really nice addition. I did take the liberty of cutting down the number of links in the body of the text. While links are very useful in providing context for an article (such as linking to definitions of terms that not all readers might be familiar with), making links out of too many words- such as by repeating a link many times in the same page- can actually make it harder for the eye to follow the text on the page, and doesn't really add much value to the page. It also makes a lot of extra typing for you! This page has some guidelines on figuring out what does or doesn't make a helpful link. --Clay Collier 11:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi, just wanted to drop a note of thanks for some outstanding edits that you have made - especially the additions to the article about Nandi. It would have been wonderful if all Hindu myth articles were as balanced as that one. Tintin 04:35, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Arts Initiative Tokyo

Arts Initiative Tokyo (AIT) a small not-for-profit independent organisation based in Tokyo, Japan. AIT was registered as a non profit organisation (NPO) by the City of Tokyo in May 2002. Their ethos is to nurture more bottom-up programs in order to contribute and encourage art in new ways for broad audiences. Positioning itself as a vital alternative centre for the arts in Japan, the organisation works with local contexts to consider global issues and perspectives.

In 2006, AIT was also invited by The Japanese Foundation as an external arts organisation to be the commissioner of artists at 12th Bangladesh Biennale. This event represents a break with past practices of asking museum professionals to curate artists and echoes the broader atmosphere which grassroots community art initiatives and non-profit sectors have emerged. AIT has selected Hiroshi Fuji and Teruya Yuken as the representative for Japan in 2006.

Currently, AIT runs an independent education program called Make Art Different (MAD), a residency program as well as curatorial/consultancy projects partnering with business.

Organisation structure
It was founded in 2001 by six curators and arts administrators: Yuko Ozawa (Director), Yoko Miyahara (Mori Art Museum), Keisuke Ozawa (independent curator, Associate Director Art Fair Tokyo, lecturer Joshibi), Yasu Nakamori (Curator, Lecturer, Houston), Fumihiko Sumitomo (independent curator) and Roger McDonald (independent curator, lecturer Meiji University, Joshibi).

Education Program: MAD- Making Art Different
Making Art Different is the educational component of AIT. The courses are open to all and aim to broaden the appeal of modern and contemporary art in Japan through low cost, small scale and in-depth lectures. It offered the first course in curatorial studies in Japan in 2001. In 2011 MAD ceased offering courses and instead initiated a flexible, self-selecting system in which students purchase numbers of lectures to create their own course of study. 111 lectures are offered in 2011.

Artist Residence Program
AIT has hosted artists, curators and writers for one to three month residencies in Tokyo. The residency program is not an open application one, instead operating on a partnership model, with various international arts organisations and Japanese Foundations. Since 2003, AIT has invited over 20 partners for the residency.

Eric Portman

Eric Harold Portman (13 July 1901 – 7 December 1969) was an English stage and film actor. He is probably best remembered for his roles in three films for Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger during the 1940s.

Early life
Born in Halifax, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, Portman was the second son of Matthew Portman (1868–1939), a wool merchant, and his wife, Alice, née Harrison (1870–1918). His birth was registered with the middle name of Harold but he would later adopt his mother's maiden name as his middle name.

Education
He was educated at Rishworth School in Yorkshire and, in 1922, started work as a salesman in the menswear department at the Marshall & Snelgrove department store in Leeds and acted in the amateur Halifax Light Opera Society.

Career
He made his professional stage debut in 1924 with Henry Baynton's company. In 1924, Robert Courtneidge's Shakespearian company arrived in Halifax. Portman joined the company as a 'passenger' and appeared in their production of Richard II at the Victoria Hall, Sunderland which led to Courtneidge giving him a contract. Portman made his West End debut at the Savoy Theatre in London, in September 1924, as Antipholous of Syracuse in The Comedy of Errors. He was engaged by Lilian Baylis for the Old Vic Company. In 1928, Portman played Romeo at the rebuilt Old Vic. He became a successful theatre actor. In 1933, Portman was in Diplomacy at the Prince's Theatre with Gerald du Maurier and Basil Rathbone.

In the 1930s, he began appearing in films, starting with an uncredited bit in The Girl from Maxim's (1933) directed by Alexander Korda. In 1935, he appeared in four films, including Maria Marten, or The Murder in the Red Barn with Tod Slaughter. He also made Hyde Park Corner with Gordon Harker and directed by Sinclair Hill; Old Roses and Abdul the Damned.

In 1936 Portman had a stage hit playing Lord Byron in Bitter Harvest. After Hearts of Humanity (1936), he played Giuliano de' Medici in Hill's The Cardinal (1936). Portman made another film with Tod Slaughter, The Crimes of Stephen Hawke (1936), and was in Moonlight Sonata (1937).

He went to the US and played in Madame Bovary on Broadway for the Theatre Guild of America. He also had a small role in The Prince and the Pauper (1937), but disliked Hollywood and did not stay long.

He was back on Broadway in I Have Been Here Before by J. B. Priestley. Portman's last London stage show was Jeannie.

In the semi-autobiographical play Dinner with Ribbentrop by screenwriter Norman Hudis, a former personal assistant to Portman, Hudis relates a claim made often by Portman that in 1937, before the start of the Second World War, he had had dinner in London with Joachim von Ribbentrop (then the German Ambassador to Britain). Portman claimed that Ribbentrop had told him that "when Germany wins the war, Portman would be installed as the greatest English star in the New Europe" at a purpose-built film studio in Berlin.

In 1941 he had his first important film role playing Lieutenant Hirth, a Nazi on the run, in Powell and Pressburger's 49th Parallel, which was a big hit in the US and Britain. Portman was established as a star and signed a long-term contract with Gainsborough Pictures.

Portman was in Powell and Pressburger's follow up, One of Our Aircraft Is Missing (1942), which reworked the story of The 49th Parallel to be about Allied pilots in occupied Holland. He played a Belgian resistance leader in Uncensored (1942) from director Anthony Asquith, and a German pilot in Squadron Leader X (1943) with director Lance Comfort. Portman was a sailor in Asquith's We Dive at Dawn (1943) and a factory supervisor in Millions Like Us (1943) from Launder and Gilliat. He was in another war story in Comfort's Escape to Danger (1943), then was back with Powell and Pressburger for A Canterbury Tale (1944). Portman had the lead in Great Day (1945) with Flora Robson and in the expensive colonial epic Men of Two Worlds (1946).

In 1945, exhibitors voted him the 10th most popular star at the British box office. He maintained that ranking the following year.

He made some thrillers – Wanted for Murder (1947), Dear Murderer (1947) and The Mark of Cain (1947). He was a hangman in Daybreak (1948), then made Corridor of Mirrors (1948) and The Blind Goddess (1948). He made two films for the new producing team of Maxwell Setton and Aubrey Baring, The Spider and the Fly (1949) and Cairo Road (1950). Portman was one of many names in The Magic Box (1951) and then made an Ealing comedy, His Excellency (1952), playing a trade unionist who becomes Governor of a British colony. For Baring and Setton, he made South of Algiers (1953) then had a big hit on stage in Terence Rattigan's Separate Tables and on film in The Colditz Story (1955). Portman had a supporting part in The Deep Blue Sea (1955) and Child in the House (1956). He had the lead in The Good Companions (1957).

He played the bogus Major in Terence Rattigan's play Separate Tables in 1956–57 on Broadway. For this performance, he was nominated for a Tony Award (Best Actor (Dramatic)). In 1958 he appeared on Broadway in a short-lived production of Jane Eyre as Rochester. Portman had better luck the following year in a production of Eugene O'Neill's A Touch of the Poet, which had a long run. In contrast, Flowering Cherry by Robert Bolt, with Portman in the title role, only lasted five performances on Broadway.

Later film roles included in The Naked Edge (1961), Freud: The Secret Passion (1962), West 11 (1963), The Man Who Finally Died (1963), The Bedford Incident (1965), and The Spy with a Cold Nose (1966).

In 1962 Portman was in a stage adaptation of A Passage to India that ran for 109 performances on Broadway.

Near the end of his life he played character roles including Number Two in the TV series The Prisoner, appearing in the episode "Free For All" (1967), as well as films including The Whisperers (1967) and Deadfall (1968), both for director Bryan Forbes. His final film was Assignment to Kill (1968).

Personal life
In the early 1920s Portman was an amateur in Halifax Light Opera. While there he was romantically involved with Eliza Jane Thornton, his leading lady. After appearing in The Silver Box together, they both went to London to work professionally, though eventually Thornton returned to Halifax. Decades after Portman's death in 1969, it was suggested that he was homosexual and that assistant director Knox Laing (1913-1974) was his partner.

Death
Portman died at age 68 at his home in St Veep, Cornwall on 7 December 1969 from heart disease. He was buried in St. Veep parish church.

Honours
A blue plaque was erected by the Halifax Civic Trust.

Control arm

In automotive suspension, a control arm, also known as an A-arm, is a hinged suspension link between the chassis and the suspension upright or hub that carries the wheel. In simple terms, it governs a wheel's vertical travel, allowing it to move up or down when driving over bumps, into potholes, or otherwise reacting to the irregularities of a road surface. Most control arms form the lower link of a suspension. Control arms play a crucial role in the suspension system of a vehicle. They help to keep the wheels aligned and maintain proper tire contact with the road, which is essential for safety and stability.

The inboard (chassis) end of a control arm is attached by a single pivot, usually a rubber bushing. It can thus control the position of the outboard end in only a single degree of freedom, maintaining the radial distance from the inboard mount. Although not deliberately free to move, the single bushing does not control the arm from moving back and forth; this motion is constrained by a separate link or radius rod.

This is in contrast to the wishbone, which are triangular and have two widely spaced inboard bearings. These constrain the outboard end of the wishbone from moving back and forth, controlling two degrees of freedom, and without requiring additional links. Certain vehicles -- notably, many Honda products from the 1990s -- feature what's known as a double wishbone suspension. A double wishbone design features both upper and lower control arms that work in tandem with each other to properly locate the wheel. The additional radius rod is then attached to the upper arm.

MacPherson strut
Control arms are most commonly encountered as part of the MacPherson strut independent front suspension. The control arms are perpendicular to the axis of the vehicle and are termed track control arms. A diagonal radius rod constrains the strut from moving forward and back.

In MacPherson's original design, an anti-roll bar also acted as the radius rod. This requires the bar to be attached through a ball joint, so as to also provide longitudinal control. In most contemporary designs, still commonly termed MacPherson struts, the radius rod and anti-roll bar are now separate, with the anti-roll bar mounted in a sliding bush.

Spring attachment
A control arm may be used to carry the suspension load and transmit them to the spring or shock absorber. Torsion bar suspension commonly does this, with the outboard end of the torsion bar attached to the inboard bearing of the control arm..

the Kurds most assuredly ARE a nation ...
Like many on here, confusion arises over this term. A 'nation' is an ethnicity, not a political term. CITIZEN is the political term. That's why we have some countries -a polity or political state- that are nation-states, that is, countries made up of a vast majority of one nation/ethnicity - such states are Germany, Hungary, France, etc. 50.111.3.59 (talk) 19:59, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Oysterband

Oysterband (originally The Oyster Band) is a British folk rock and folk punk band formed in Canterbury around 1976.

Early history
The band formed in parallel to Fiddler's Dram, and under the name "Oyster Ceilidh Band" played purely as a dance band at first. The name Oyster comes from the group's early association with the coastal town of Whitstable, Kent, known for the quality of its oysters. Their first album, released under the Oyster Ceilidh Band name, was Jack's Alive (1980) on the Dingles record label. Subsequent albums, as "Oyster Band" (sometimes "The Oyster Band") were released on the band's own Pukka Music label: English Rock 'n' Roll: The Early Years 1800–1850 and Lie Back and Think of England, followed by 20 Golden Tie-Slackeners and Liberty Hall.

The line-up of the band changed over these albums. The first recorded line-up was:
 * Cathy Lesurf – vocals;
 * John Jones – melodeon, vocals;
 * Alan Prosser – guitars, violin;
 * Chris Taylor – guitar, bouzouki, harmonica, one-row melodeon, mandola;
 * Ian Telfer – violin, English concertina, saxophone;
 * Chris Wood – bass guitar;
 * Will Ward – bassoon, recorders, crumhorn, keyboards

When Chris Wood left the band to go travelling in Canada, he was replaced on bass guitar by returning founder member Ian Kearey. Cathy Lesurf subsequently left to join Ashley Hutchings' Albion Band, and Will Ward also departed so that by the time they recorded Lie Back and Think of England, the personnel had settled down to John Jones, Ian Kearey, Alan Prosser, Chris Taylor and Ian Telfer. For the album Step Outside they added Russell Lax on drums. Step Outside mixed self-penned songs, often with a political theme, with reworkings of traditional standards such as "Hal-an-Tow".

Later history
After the 1987 release Wide Blue Yonder Kearey left the band to be replaced by Chopper (real name Ray Cooper). Subsequent albums included Ride, Little Rock to Leipzig and the June Tabor collaboration Freedom and Rain. Following this the band changed its name to Oysterband. Drummer Lee Partis (who for several years was billed only by his forename) replaced Russell Lax for 1992's Deserters before Holy Bandits in 1993 propelled the band to the forefront of a booming folk rock scene alongside bands such as The Levellers.

In the 1990s, the band adopted a more overtly political stance, recording the harder The Shouting End of Life and collaborating with Chumbawamba to record "Farewell to the Crown", released as the B-side of the "Tubthumping" single. But recent releases Deep Dark Ocean, Here I Stand, Rise Above and Meet You There have seen the band return to a softer, more melodic sound, while recent tours under the banner The Big Session have seen the band offer exposure to several young, emerging folk musicians like Dan Donnelly, The Handsome Family, as well as veterans such as June Tabor. James O'Grady (Uilleann pipes, fiddle, flute, vocals) regularly appeared on the Oysters' albums and tours in the last few years.

John Jones, James O'Grady and Ian Telfer provided vocals and instrumentation on Chumbawamba's album A Singsong and a Scrap, and Oysterband provided vocals for the song "Hull or Hell" on The Boy Bands Have Won.

In 2007, long-standing drummer Lee Partis took a break to concentrate on his work as a psychotherapist, counselling in prisons. In August 2008, he confirmed he would be leaving the band permanently. The band then appointed Dilwyn Davies as replacement drummer.

Following a 30th anniversary concert in December 2008 the band took a six-month sabbatical, during which John Jones and Chopper both made solo albums.

The band returned to the studio in 2011, teaming up once again with June Tabor and releasing Ragged Kingdom in September at a sell-out concert at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall. For at least some dates on the Ragged Kingdom tour, they are also joined on bass and guitar by Al Scott, who produced the album. On 8 February 2012, June Tabor and Oysterband won Best Traditional Song, Best Album and Best Group at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards for Ragged Kingdom, with Tabor also winning Folk Singer of the Year.

Ray Cooper announced in December 2012 that he would leave the band at the end of the Ragged Kingdom tour in February 2013, to pursue a solo career. Adrian Oxaal, formerly of rock band James, replaced him on a few gigs late in 2012, and took over in 2013, although it was unclear whether he would become a full-time member of Oysterband. The band also featured Al Scott on bass at some gigs. Pete Flood, formerly of Bellowhead replaced Davies on drums.

On 5 February 2024, John Jones, Alan Prosser and Ian Telfer announced on Facebook that Oysterband will be retiring as a touring band, although they plan a 'long goodbye.'

Untitled
Did Richard Corben mean "satyrical" or "satirical". I was just wondering, since I think it would give the quote a slightly different meaning.

Satirical or satyrical?
As far as the art is concerned, it is somewhat satyrical in style, but the story line is definitely satirical.

Atari ST game
I distinctly remember playing a demo of a RanXerox game for the Atari ST and also seeing adverts for the full game in ST magazines, using the slogan "Your mother wouldn't like it!" I can't find any references to this on the web though. Has anyone got any more details? -- Neilka 15:09, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, the game was released as "Ranx". Carry on! -- Neilka 15:19, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Atrocious
The description as to the plot, setting, and even the main character is so sparse that nothing particular can actually be discerned whatsoever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.197.142.100 (talk) 19:15, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Possible sources in The One
Added some possible sources from British gaming magazine The One that cover plot, characters in the comic, and the Ranx games. I have no interest in the subject, and thus am putting the sources here for someone else to use. Waxworker (talk) 05:59, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
