Henry Dunckley

Henry Dunckley (24 December 1823 – 29 June 1896) was an English Baptist minister, journalist and newspaper editor.

Early life and education
Dunckley was born in Warwick. He was educated at the Baptist college at Accrington, Lancashire, and at the University of Glasgow.

Career
Dunckley became in 1848 minister of the Baptist church at Salford, Lancashire. He closely investigated the educational needs of the working-classes, and in 1851 he wrote an essay, The Glory and the Shame of Britain, summarizing the results of his inquiries. The essay won a prize offered by the Religious Tract Society. In 1852 he won the Anti-Corn-law Leagues prize with an essay on the results of the free-trade policy, published in 1854 under the title The Charter of the Nations.

In 1855 he abandoned the ministry to edit the Manchester Examiner and Times, a prominent Liberal newspaper, in charge of which he remained till 1889. For twenty years he wrote, over the signature Verax, weekly letters to the Manchester papers; those on The Crown and the Cabinet (1877) and The Crown and the Constitution (1878) evoked so much enthusiasm that a public subscription was set on foot to present the writer with a handsome testimonial for his public services. In 1878 Dunckley, who had often declined to stand for parliament, was elected a member of the Reform Club in recognition of his services to the Liberal party, and in 1883 he was made an LL.D. by Glasgow University. He died at Manchester on 29 June 1896.

Talk:Shamokin, Pennsylvania

Untitled
Although Groucho Marx made a joke about it on "You Bet Your Life," "Shamokin" has nothing to do with smoking. Sha- and its variants generally mean "Place of the..." Thus: CHIcago, SHEboygan, SHAmokin. Chemung — Also a river, a hamlet and the county where they reside, Chemung comes from the discovery of a mammoth tusk near the riverbed — a “big horn” to the Native Americans who called it “Shumounk” from the Algonquin words for horn and place — place of the big horn.

 * Got your attention, huh? Use to be a big breaker there called Glen Burn, Route 61, not sure what happened to it. Use to see it driving up to Penn State/ State college. Have no idea what this town is doing these days, Like most the hey day is over in the area. Shame. "Whats Shamokin?" Cheers Scott 19:03, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Glen Burn stopped operations circa what, 1961? It was torn down maybe a decade ago; a local would know.  Re bogus etymologies: the point of Wikipedia is not to elicit attention from readers, but to share information with readers. Billbrock 01:03, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

You are right. Scott 01:33, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm deleting the History of the Lenape Chiefs; of course it's important to PA history, but of virtually no relevance to the Land of Coney Island. Billbrock 22:39, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

To Do List
History

- Molly Maguires - Great Railroad Strike of 1877 - UMW - decline of anthracite —Preceding unsigned comment added by Billbrock (talk • contribs) 16:47, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

History Duplication with Sunbury, PA It looks like someone copied Sunbury's history and inserted it here. There are some changes, but there are obvious errors that are not yet corrected. One of the paragraphs intended to describe Shamokin actually names and describes Sunbury. It looks like it is a cut-and-paste from the other page. Finding errors like this could indicate that much of this page is not accurate. Someone with "real" knowledge of the town needs to review this page and correct the multitude of errors...
 * A few more issues. The pic showing a pile of coal...thats not coal. Thats called a waste pile, shale or slack. A reserve pile would be different, thats not a reserve pile. The section that is cut and paste is also closely worded or plagiarism. I have read that book, just cant recall the title. Another issue, Hard Coal.....Can we please use the word Anthracite? My folks mined soft coal or what we call bituminous. AND YES we would joke about who worked harder, hard or soft coal miners.....As to the Molly Maguires, MIGHT want to be careful, they did have a large presence but not in every coal town. As to the decline of Anthacite..no. There was a strike, and so coal purchasers went to WV and got their coal there. A little more specificity, decline means almost anything. Otherwise, happy editingCoal town guy (talk) 02:06, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

1877 Riots
Re proposed article 1877 Shamokin Uprising, not sure that this deserves an article separate from the Great RR Strike of 1877. Some twenty years ago, I spent a couple days reading microfilm newspaper articles on the 1877 riots in the Pottsville library. This book http://www.amazon.com/1877-Violence-Robert-V-Bruce/dp/0929587057 is a good intro to the topic. Billbrock (talk) 00:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Let me bite my tongue: 1877 Shamokin Uprising (which I just saw) is an EXCELLENT start! The goal would be to integrate this account into the history of Shamokin.

Feb 2014 comments
A list of mayors is not bizarre; a list of contested mayoral elections (seriously incomplete at that) is very bizarre.

Mention of one private school when there are larger ones is unencylopedic. Billbrock (talk) 02:06, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

History section issues
The first few paragraphs of the history section here look to have been copied from the Sunbury, Pennsylvania article. I have no idea if this is an issue, or, if so, how to deal with it. Since it has "phantom" footnote numbers, it seems at least that the citations from the Sunbury article should be brought in, right? Wouldn't some lovely not-me person like to sort this out? Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 19:49, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Luke Foxe

Luke Foxe (or Fox) (20 October 1586 – c. 15 July 1635) was an English explorer, born in Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire, who searched for the Northwest Passage across North America. In 1631, he sailed much of the western Hudson Bay before concluding no such passage was possible. Foxe Basin, Foxe Channel and Foxe Peninsula were named after him.

He left the Thames in May 1631 in the Charles, took 20 days to work through Hudson Strait, reaching the Bay on 11 July. Blocked by ice to the northward, he went south of Southampton Island to Roes Welcome Sound and south along the west shore to Port Nelson, Manitoba where he found Thomas Button's winter camp of 18 years before, turned north-east, met Thomas James on 29 August, went north into Foxe Channel and into the lower part of Foxe Basin, turned back at 66°47'N, passed Hudson Strait in 10 days and reached England in October without any deaths among his crew.

Early life
The son of Richard Fox, seaman and assistant of the Trinity House at Kingston-upon-Hull, he was born at Hull 20 October 1586. He acquired knowledge of seamanship in voyages southward to France, Spain, and the Mediterranean, and northward to the Baltic, Denmark, and Norway, also working along the coasts of England and crossing the North Sea. In 1606 he offered his services as mate to John Knight for a voyage to Greenland, but was rejected as too young.

Greenland voyage
After Hawkridge's abortive voyage of 1619, Foxe became the successor of Robert Bylot and William Baffin (1615) in Arctic exploration. In the meantime voyages had been made by Sir Thomas Button in 1612, by Henry Hudson in 1606, after George Waymouth in 1585-7 [probably 1605]. Foxe's first patron was Henry Briggs, who with Sir John Brooke, directed royal attention to Foxe's voyage. The project first took shape in 1629, in a Petition of Luke Fox to the king for a small supply of money towards the discovery of a passage by the north-west to the South Sea, Hudson and Sir Thomas Button having discovered a great way, and given great hopes of opening the rest. A pinnace of the Royal Navy of seventy tons was placed at the disposal of the adventurers, but the setting forth was deferred until the following year. In the interval Briggs died; half the adventurers having dropped out, the voyage might have been abandoned, but for news that Bristol merchants had projected a similar voyage from their port (under Thomas James, leaving left Bristol 3 May 1631). London merchants, with Sir Thomas Roe and the merchant-adventurer Sir John Wolstenholme, supported Foxe in the Charles pinnace with a crew of twenty men and two boys victualled for eighteen months.

Foxe sailed from the Pool below London Bridge 30 April 1631. He anchored off Whitby, where he landed, and reached Kirkwall in Orkney on 19 May. Sailing due west on the sixtieth parallel he made land 20 June on the north side of Frobisher Bay; two days later he sighted Cape Chidley, off the south shore of Hudson's Strait, six leagues distant. Passing Resolution Island two leagues south on 23 June, his crew saw in the harbour on the west side the smoke of the camp-fire of Captain James, who had put in there for repairs. From this date until 11 July Foxe worked his way along the north shore of Hudson's Strait until he reached a position between Mill and Salisbury Islands.

From this point Foxe sailed south of Coats Island until 19 July, when he commenced his search for the north-west passage. On 27 July he reached the furthest point of Button's voyage, on Southampton Island, where he found traces of native sepulture. Prohibited by his instructions from proceeding to a higher latitude than 63° N. in this direction, he turned southward along the west shore of Hudson Bay until 27 August, when he entered the mouth of the Nelson River, where he found the remaining half of an inscribed board erected by Button, which he replaced by a new one of his own. He sailed on E.S.E. sixty-one leagues until 30 August, when he met his rival, Captain James, in the Maria of Bristol, with whom, after some trouble in getting on board, he dined and spent seventeen hours.

Foxe then proceeded on his course down to 55° 14', later known as Cape Henrietta Maria, at the head of James Bay. On 3 September he turned the head of his ship northward until he reached Cape Pembroke on Coats Island five days later. From 15 to 20 September Foxe made observations on the channel that bears his name on the west shore of what is now Baffin Land. On 22 September he turned homeward, among the numerous islands and sounds off the north shore of Hudson's Strait. Foxe found himself once more off Resolution Island, at the entrance to the strait. On 5 October he made Cape Chidley.

Foxe's course homeward was south-east to the English Channel instead of the shorter, but more dangerous one by way of the North Sea. On 31 October he came into the Downs with all his crew safe.

Later life
Foxe was financially burdened after the voyage. He became a younger brother of Trinity House, and died at Whitby in July 1635.

Works
Foxe is best known for the work which contains the results of his voyage: ''North-west Fox, or Fox from the Northwest Passage. . . with briefe Abstracts of the Voyages of Cabot, Frobisher, Davis, Weymouth, Knight, Hudson, Button, Gibbons, Bylot, Baffin, Hawkridge ... Mr. James Hall's three Voyages to Groynland ... with the Author his owne Voyage, being the xvith ... T. Fawcett and B. Alsop, imp. London'', 1635. It was entered at the Stationers' Company on 15 December 1634. It was accompanied by a large folded map of the Arctic regions.

Legacy
Foxe gave names to 27 locations during his voyages, eight of which exist in current usage. These include Roe's Welcome Sound, named after his friend and sponsor, Sir Thomas Roe and Cape Dorset, named after Edward Sackville, 4th Earl of Dorset on 24 September 1631. In the 20th century this cape gave its name to the Dorset culture – a Paleo-Eskimo culture (500 BC – AD 1500) that preceded the Inuit culture in Arctic North America – whose remains were first found there. Thus, this name could also be indirectly attributed to Captain Foxe.

Peter Erasmus Müller

Peter Erasmus Müller (29 May 1776 – 4 September 1834), was a Danish historian, linguist, theologian, and bishop of the Diocese of Zealand from 1830 until his death.

Career
Müller studied at the University of Copenhagen, where he passed his theological examination in 1791. After spending some time at various German universities, he visited France and England. Returning to Denmark, he wrote numerous works and was appointed professor of theology at the University of Copenhagen in 1801. During his time as a professor, he produced a large number of essays and books about theology, history, and linguistics. As a result of the fame these works earned him, he was appointed a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters in 1811 and joined the Arnamagnæan Institute in 1815.

Following the death of Friedrich Münter in 1830, he was appointed the Bishop of Zealand, the highest ecclesiastical dignity in Denmark at the time. He held the position for only four years, as Müller died in 1834 after a long period of illness.

Works
In his time as a professor of theology, Müller wrote a variety of essays which, though many were intended as instructional materials for his students, gained him acclaim as a theologian. He also wrote academically about history and linguistics. The most notable of these works include:

 * De hierarchia et studio vitæ asceticæ in sacris et mysteriis Græcorum Romanorumqve latentibus (1803)
 * Kristeligt Moralsystem (1808)
 * Kristelig Apologetik (1810)
 * Om Kilderne til Saxos 9 første bøger og deres Troværdighed (1823)
 * System i den kristelige Dogmatik (1826)
 * Dansk Synonymik eller forklaring af enstydige danske Ord (1829)

In the academic world, Müller was perhaps best known for his study of the nordic sagas. His works concerning nordic mythology include:

 * Antikvarisk Undersøgelse over de ved Gallehus fundne Guldhorn (1806)
 * Sagabibliothek (three volumes, 1810–1818)
 * Om Avthentien af Snorres Edda og beviset derfra kan hentes for Asalærens Ægthed (1812).
 * Om det islandske Sprogs Vigtighed (1813)
 * Undersøgelse om Kilderne til Snorros Heimskringla og disses Troværdighed (1820)
 * Kritisk Undersögelse af Danmarks og Norges Sagnhistorie (1823–1830)

Müller also authored two biographies:

 * Vita Andreæ Sunonis, archiepiscopi Lundensis (1830)
 * Vita Lagonis Urne, episcopi Roskildensis (1831)

Personal life and family
Müller was born in Copenhagen to Frederik Adam Müller (1725–1795) and Marthe Sophie Garboe. His mother died in 1780, when Peter Erasmus was only four years old. Because his father was a renowned collector of copper engravings, chalcography, and books, Münter had access to a wide breath of knowledge. He had been taught by private tutors and had a relatively isolated childhood as a result. His brother, Adam Gottlob Müller (1769–1833), was a member of the Danish Supreme Court.

In 1805, he married Louise Augusta Stub (1778–1852), the granddaughter of Christian Gottlieb Kratzenstein. The couple had three sons and a daughter. Their first son, Otto Frederik Müller (1807–1882) became a member of the Supreme Court and was the father of Peter Lange-Müller. Their second son, Carl Ludvig Müller (1809–1891), was a numismatist and the father of Sophus Müller. The couple's youngest son, Adam August Müller, was a renowned painter.

Arena Stage

Arena Stage is a not-for-profit regional theater based in Southwest, Washington, D.C. Established in 1950, it was the first racially integrated theater in Washington, D.C., and its founders helped start the U.S. regional theater movement. Its theater complex was completed for the company in 2010; it is called The Mead Center for American Theater.

Since 1998 the theater's Artistic Director had been Molly Smith, who retired in July 2023. The current Artistic Director is Hana S. Sharif. The Executive Producer is Edgar Dobie. It is the largest company in the country dedicated to American plays and playwrights. Arena Stage commissions and develops new plays through its Power Plays initiative. The company serves an annual audience of more than 300,000. Its productions have received numerous local and national awards, including the Tony Award for best regional theater and over 600 Helen Hayes Awards.

Founding, location, and theaters
The company was founded in Washington, D.C., in 1950 by Zelda and Thomas Fichandler and Edward Mangum. Its first home was the Hippodrome Theatre, a former movie house. In 1956, the company moved into the gymnasium of the old Heurich Brewery in Foggy Bottom; the theater was nicknamed "The Old Vat."

In 1960, the company moved into its current complex on Sixth Street, which was designed for them by Chicago architect Harry Weese. He also designed the Arena's Kreeger Theater, which opened in 1970. In 1966, Robert Alexander joined the company and created the Living Stage as a social outreach improvisational theater. From 2008 to 2010, the complex was renovated and a third theatre was added, together with a variety of support spaces. The new complex, with the theatres under a glass skin, was named as the Mead Center for American Theater. Its outdoor terrace overlooks the Southwest Waterfront.

Inclusion and diversity focus
Arena was the first theatre in D.C. to be racially integrated. Its production The Great White Hope, which opened at Arena Stage in 1967, was transferred to Broadway with its original cast, including James Earl Jones and Jane Alexander in the lead roles. Arena was the first regional theater to transfer a production to Broadway. When Arena Stage reprised the play in 2000 as part of its 50th-anniversary celebration, Mahershala Ali was cast as the male lead. It was his first professional role.

In 1968, the company received a $250,000 grant from the Ford Foundation. Part of it was to be used for the training of black actors. In 1987, Arena hosted a symposium on nontraditional casting. In 1989, the company received a $1 million grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to train minority actors, directors, designers and administrators, and to produce plays from non-white cultures.

In the latter half of the 20th century, the company traveled abroad. In 1973, they performed Thornton Wilder's Our Town and Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee's Inherit the Wind in the Soviet Union after being encouraged by the U.S. State Department to do so. This made them the first regional theater to present U.S. plays in the USSR.

In 1980 Arena Stage was the first American theater company to be invited to the Hong Kong Arts Festival. It attended the Israel Festival in Jerusalem in 1987. In the U.S., to promote cultural diversity, Zelda Fichandler included plays from the Soviet Union, Romania, Poland, Hungary, Austria, East and West Germany, France, Switzerland, England, Canada, and Australia in the theater's repertoire. In 1991, Arena raised $4 million for a cultural diversity grant. This became the Allen Lee Hughes Fellowship Program.

In 1981, Arena developed Audio Description for visually impaired audience members. This made the company the first theater to create audio-described performances.

In 1976, Arena Stage became the first theater outside New York to receive a special Tony Award for theatrical excellence.

Original plays and films
In 2016, artistic director Molly Smith announced the Power Plays initiative to commission 25 original plays and musicals over the next 10 years to showcase American history from 1776 to modern day. These have included works by Jacqueline Lawton, Eve Ensler, Rajiv Joseph, Mary Kathryn Nagle, Sarah Ruhl, Lawrence Wright, Eduardo Machado, Aaron Posner, John Strand, Craig Lucas, Kenneth Lin, and Nathan Alan Davis.

During the coronavirus pandemic, Arena Stage launched the Artists Marketplace as a way for people to commission or purchase work from the artists who have worked with the company.

The company also produced three films: May 22, 2020, a docudrama that follows D.C.-Maryland-Virginia residents and captures a day in their lives during the pandemic; Inside Voices, which features the stories of kids during the pandemic; and The 51st State, about D.C. statehood issues.

In 2021, the company released a three-part commissioned music series called Arena Riffs as part of its reopening.

Renovation and new construction, 2008–2010
A major renovation of the facility was undertaken from 2008 through 2010. The architect for the project was Bing Thom Architects of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, who contracted Fast + Epp consulting engineers to design the main columns for the building. During the renovation, Arena Stage temporarily moved to the Crystal Forum and the Lincoln Theatre.

The Arena's existing theaters, the Fichandler Stage and the Kreeger Theater, were enclosed under a glass "skin" together with a new theater, the Arlene and Robert Kogod Cradle. The entire $135 million complex was renamed "Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater" in honor of supporters Gilbert and Jaylee Mead. The new building also includes a central lobby, restaurant, and the Catwalk Cafe, and such support spaces as rehearsal rooms, classrooms, production shops, and offices. The restaurant, Richard's Place, is closed for the 2021–2022 season.

For the first time in the company's history, all staff and operations were joined under one unifying roof. The three-stage theater complex is now the second-largest performing arts center in Washington, DC, after the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. It is the largest regional theater in D.C. Arena Stage re-opened in October 2010 with Oklahoma!.

The capacity of its three theaters follows:
 * The Fichandler Stage, a theater in the round, seating 680.
 * The Kreeger Theater, a modified thrust stage theater, seating 510.
 * The Kogod Cradle, a 202-seat space dedicated to new American productions.

Artistic Directors
One of the founders, Zelda Fichandler, was the company's artistic director from its founding through the 1990/91 season. Douglas C. Wager succeeded her for the 1991/92 through 1997/98 seasons. Molly Smith, assumed those duties beginning with the 1998/99 season. In June 2022, she announced she would retire and leave Arena Stage in July 2023. The current Artistic Director is Hana S. Sharif.

Notable events
The Washingtonian magazine, as part of its 50th anniversary commemoration, identified the Arena Stage's 1967 production of The Great White Hope as one of "50 Moments That Shaped Washington, DC". The play received a lot of attention, some of it negative, because it featured an interracial relationship between James Earl Jones, then a new actor, and Jane Alexander. It was one of the first regional-theater productions to move to Broadway. There the production won several Tony Awards, and a Pulitzer Prize. It was also adapted as a film. Zelda Fichandler worked with the writer of the play for a year to make it production-ready. The Arena did not earn a share of the play's Broadway and film profits.

Archival material
A collection of the Arena Stage Records and materials is housed at the George Mason University Special Collections Research Center. The Research Center also houses materials related to individuals involved with the theater, including personal records of Zelda Fichandler's, Thomas Fichandler's papers, the Ken Kitch papers, and materials relating to the Living Stage.

History
The name Julia Creek was named after the niece of Donald McIntyre (younger brother of explorer Duncan McIntyre), the first white settler in the area. McIntyre took up a property called Dalgonally about 70 km north of the present site of the town in 1864, only a few years after the ill-fated Burke and Wills expedition passed through the area.

The township began life as a temporary railway terminus in 1907 when the Great Northern railway line was extended from Richmond to service the copper mines at Cloncurry.

The name Oorindi is the Aboriginal name for the Williams River (which is about 12 km west of Oorindi) and means stones.

Julia Creek Post Office opened by September 1910 (a receiving office had been open from 1907).

Julia Creek State School was a one-room school established in 1911 with nine students, and was expanded in 1932 and again in 1934. A separate high school was constructed in 1963.

In 1952 the town was serviced with electricity.

St Joseph's School opened in 1955 and closed in 1995.

A sixteen-bed hospital was established in 1972.

Julia Creek Public Library was opened in 1994.

The Dirt n Dust Festival sporting and music festival was held in the town annually from 1995 to 2019 and was considered one of Queensland's largest events of its type. After cancellations in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was announced in July 2021 that due to a lack of volunteers, and there being no committee to run the event, the Dirt n Dust Festival would no longer be held. But in December 2021, an organising committee was formed and the 2022 festival is expected to commence on Friday 22 April.

Demographics
In the. the locality of Julia Creek had a population of 511 people.

In the, the locality of Julia Creek had a population of 549 people.

Economy
The town's main industries are farming, (especially the beef and wool industries), and mining, which is mainly centred on the South32 mine at nearby Cannington. The town is a major centre for cattle sales and stock trucking, with a large saleyard and associated facilities. Prior to the expansion of the railway to the larger towns of Cloncurry and Mount Isa, the town was also a major transport hub for freight and passengers.

Julia Creek is also home to the Julia Creek dunnart which is now endangered because of feral animals (wild cats, dogs and foxes).

Education
Julia Creek State School is a government primary (Prep–6) school for boys and girls at Burke Street (-20.6568°N, 141.7463°W). In 2017, the school had an enrolment of 34 students with 3 teachers and 4 non-teaching staff (3 full-time equivalent).

There are no secondary schools in Julia Creek. The nearest secondary schools are in Richmond (only to Year 10) and Cloncurry (to Year 12).

Amenities

The Mckinlay Shire Council operates a public library in Julia Creek at 56 Burke Street.

The Julia Creek branch of the Queensland Country Women's Association has its rooms at 51 Burke Street.

St Barnabas Anglican Church is at 1 Burke Street. Anglican services recommenced in 2020.

Regular services by the Uniting Church in Australia are held in St Baranabas Anglican Church. These are provided by the McKay Patrol, an aerial service of the Uniting Church in Australia that operates out of Cloncurry. Supported by other denominations, the McKay Patrol operates a Cessna 182Q aeroplane to provide spiritual and practical help to people living in remote areas in the north-west of Queensland and the eastern Tablelands of the Northern Territory, an area of approximately 625000 km2 with a population of fewer than 10,000 people.

Seemingly unrelated regressions

In econometrics, the seemingly unrelated regressions (SUR)   or  seemingly unrelated regression equations  (SURE)  model, proposed by Arnold Zellner in (1962), is a generalization of a linear regression model that consists of several regression equations, each having its own dependent variable and potentially different sets of exogenous explanatory variables. Each equation is a valid linear regression on its own and can be estimated separately, which is why the system is called seemingly unrelated, although some authors suggest that the term seemingly related would be more appropriate,  since the error terms are assumed to be correlated across the equations.

The model can be estimated equation-by-equation using standard ordinary least squares (OLS). Such estimates are consistent, however generally not as efficient as the SUR method, which amounts to feasible generalized least squares with a specific form of the variance-covariance matrix. Two important cases when SUR is in fact equivalent to OLS are when the error terms are in fact uncorrelated between the equations (so that they are truly unrelated) and when each equation contains exactly the same set of regressors on the right-hand-side.

The SUR model can be viewed as either the simplification of the general linear model where certain coefficients in matrix $$\Beta$$ are restricted to be equal to zero, or as the generalization of the general linear model where the regressors on the right-hand-side are allowed to be different in each equation. The SUR model can be further generalized into the simultaneous equations model, where the right-hand side regressors are allowed to be the endogenous variables as well.

The model
Suppose there are m regression equations

y_{ir} = x_{ir}^\mathsf{T}\;\!\beta_i + \varepsilon_{ir}, \quad i=1,\ldots,m. $$

Here i represents the equation number, r = 1, …, R is the individual observation, and we are taking the transpose of the $$x_{ir}$$ column vector. The number of observations R is assumed to be large, so that in the analysis we take R → $\infty$, whereas the number of equations m remains fixed.

Each equation i has a single response variable yir, and a ki-dimensional vector of regressors xir. If we stack observations corresponding to the i-th equation into R-dimensional vectors and matrices, then the model can be written in vector form as

y_i = X_i\beta_i + \varepsilon_i, \quad i=1,\ldots,m, $$ where yi and εi are R×1 vectors, Xi is a R×ki matrix, and βi is a ki×1 vector.

Finally, if we stack these m vector equations on top of each other, the system will take the form

The assumption of the model is that error terms εir are independent across observations, but may have cross-equation correlations within observations. Thus, we assume that X ] = 0 whenever r ≠ s, whereas X ] = σij. Denoting Σ = [σij] the m×m skedasticity matrix of each observation, the covariance matrix of the stacked error terms ε will be equal to

\Omega \equiv \operatorname{E}[\,\varepsilon\varepsilon^\mathsf{T}\,|X\,] = \Sigma \otimes I_R, $$

where IR is the R-dimensional identity matrix and ⊗ denotes the matrix Kronecker product.

Estimation
The SUR model is usually estimated using the feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) method. This is a two-step method where in the first step we run ordinary least squares regression for ($$). The residuals from this regression are used to estimate the elements of matrix $$\Sigma$$:

\hat\sigma_{ij} = \frac1R\, \hat\varepsilon_i^\mathsf{T} \hat\varepsilon_j. $$

In the second step we run generalized least squares regression for ($$) using the variance matrix :

\hat\beta = \Big( X^\mathsf{T}(\hat\Sigma^{-1}\otimes I_R) X \Big)^{\!-1} X^\mathsf{T}(\hat\Sigma^{-1}\otimes I_R)\,y. $$

This estimator is unbiased in small samples assuming the error terms εir have symmetric distribution; in large samples it is consistent and asymptotically normal with limiting distribution

\sqrt{R}(\hat\beta - \beta) \ \xrightarrow{d}\ \mathcal{N}\Big(\,0,\; \Big(\tfrac1R X^\mathsf{T}(\Sigma^{-1}\otimes I_R) X \Big)^{\!-1}\,\Big). $$

Other estimation techniques besides FGLS were suggested for SUR model: the maximum likelihood (ML) method under the assumption that the errors are normally distributed; the iterative generalized least squares (IGLS), where the residuals from the second step of FGLS are used to recalculate the matrix, then estimate again using GLS, and so on, until convergence is achieved; the iterative ordinary least squares (IOLS) scheme, where estimation is performed on equation-by-equation basis, but every equation includes as additional regressors the residuals from the previously estimated equations in order to account for the cross-equation correlations, the estimation is run iteratively until convergence is achieved. Kmenta and Gilbert (1968) ran a Monte-Carlo study and established that all three methods—IGLS, IOLS and ML—yield numerically equivalent results, they also found that the asymptotic distribution of these estimators is the same as the distribution of the FGLS estimator, whereas in small samples neither of the estimators was more superior than the others. Zellner and Ando (2010) developed a direct Monte Carlo method for the Bayesian analysis of SUR model.

Equivalence to OLS
There are two important cases when the SUR estimates turn out to be equivalent to the equation-by-equation OLS. These cases are:
 * 1) When the matrix Σ is known to be diagonal, that is, there are no cross-equation correlations between the error terms. In this case the system becomes not seemingly but truly unrelated.
 * 2) When each equation contains exactly the same set of regressors, that is X1 = X2 = … = Xm. That the estimates turn out to be numerically identical to OLS estimates follows from Kruskal's tree theorem,  or can be shown via the direct calculation.

Statistical packages

 * In R, SUR can be estimated using the package “systemfit”.
 * In SAS, SUR can be estimated using the  procedure.
 * In Stata, SUR can be estimated using the  and   commands.
 * In Limdep, SUR can be estimated using the  command
 * In Python, SUR can be estimated using the command  in the “linearmodels” package.
 * In gretl, SUR can be estimated using the  command.

Sandusky River

The Sandusky River is a tributary to Lake Erie in north-central Ohio in the United States. It is about 133 mi long and flows into Lake Erie at the southwest side of Sandusky Bay.

The Sandusky River, like the Maumee River to the west, is home to the annual walleye run in the spring, specifically March–April. The river also receives a run of white bass around the same time in the spring. The numbers of walleye that return to spawn upstream are not as great as those that return to the Maumee River. The Ballville Dam, built on the Sandusky River in Fremont, Ohio, blocked migration for walleye and other fish. As fish can swim farther upstream in the Maumee, they have access to more spawning areas and have developed a larger population than in the Sandusky River.

Opponents of the dam projected that its removal would improve access for walleye and other migratory fish to areas upstream and lead to an increase in their population, as has happened on other rivers where dams have been removed. The Ballville Dam was no longer used for power generation or navigation improvements. The city of Fremont undertook a study to explore the options of tearing it down or repairing it. A 2014 study found that removal would have little adverse effect on city conditions and would strongly improve the fisheries. In 2016 voters approved taking down the dam. (Note: The Balville dam was demolished in July 2018).

The river's name derives from the Wyandot words saandusti, meaning "water (within water-pools)" or from andusti, meaning "cold water". It was transliterated in various spellings by French and English colonists.

Course
The Sandusky River begins at the juncture of Paramour Creek and Allen Run at the unincorporated community of Leesville in Crawford County west of Crestline, and initially flows westwardly, passing through the town of Bucyrus. In Wyandot County, the river turns northward for the remainder of its course, flowing through Seneca and Sandusky counties and passing the towns of Upper Sandusky, Tiffin and Fremont before entering Sandusky Bay.

In 1970, the river's course between Upper Sandusky and Fremont was designated as a State Scenic River by the government of Ohio.

Little Sandusky River
The Little Sandusky River is a minor tributary of the Sandusky. It flows 14.0 mi northward from near Brush Ridge in northern Marion County and joins the Sandusky in southern Wyandot County.

Variant names
According to the Geographic Names Information System, the Sandusky River has also been known as:
 * Potake Sepe
 * Riviere Blanc
 * Riviere Sanduski
 * San-doo-stee River

Wikipedia:Peer review/Victor Davis Hanson/archive1

Victor Davis Hanson
VDH is one of America's premier public intellectuals and has played an important role in explaining neo-conservative idea's to the public. He has had several meetings with high level officials in the US Government, as well as appointments to various academic think tanks. He's written several books some of which are featured in the Amazon.com top 1000.

Overall I'd like to see this article reach FAC status and so it would be nice to have some fresh people take a look at it. Klonimus 02:40, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

OK - here we go (Not reviewing content)! Take care! Ryan Norton T 04:05, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Intro WAAAAY too short - you need a SOLID paragraph there.
 * 2) First section too short
 * 3) "carnage & culture" some paragraphs are a LITTLE short, but maybe nothing that would get you a FA oppose...
 * 4) "Stances" - consider a rename. Also, consider killing the subsections and making a REAL section out of this puppy - there's not all that much content to warrant 4 seperate subsections without expansion
 * 5) "Works" - consider detailing some of his best works here, along with an intro to that list there
 * 6) "External links" - don't use real subsections here - it stuffs the TOC, use double lists instead

A few remarks: Keithlard 04:29, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'd like to see it a little longer for that really encyclopedic FA feel...
 * 1) Needs a copyright-free picture
 * 2) Judging from the talk page, some of Hanson's views are rather more controversial than one might gather from the article. Could we hear more about these, and perhaps some good sourced opposing viewpoints - maybe follow up those external links.
 * 3) I'd like to see more about VDH's work as a classical scholar - is it generally regarded as good, and by whom? If not, what's wrong with it?

You could have a look at the Brynmawr Classical Review (http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/by_authorH.html) which has reviews of 5 or 6 of his classics books including some blood-on-the-walls exchanges. I read it years back, but there's something in there about him as a farmer which seemed a little scary.

I wonder about the stances section of the entry. Hanson (maybe not call him Dr. in the text, especially just doing it once) is a controversial figure who makes a number of people very angry. Maybe there needs to be room for their response to him (e.g. the classicists are to blame bit). Good luck.... Flounderer 14:16, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Alekseyevskaya (Moscow Metro)

Alekseyevskaya (Алексе́евская, ) is a station on the Moscow Metro's Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line. It serves Alexeyevsky District. The station's round entrance is located on the east side of Prospekt Mira between Staroalexeyevskaya and Novoalexeyevskaya streets. From its opening in 1958 to 1966 the station was known as "Mir" (Мир) and thus bore the shortest name in the history of the Moscow Metro.

History
It was designed by S. Kravets, Yu. Kolesnikova, and G. Golubev and opened on 1 May 1958. The station was originally planned to be as heavily decorated as previous stations, but the design was modified due to Khrushchev's opposition to unnecessary decorative elements. As a result, Alexeyevskaya has surprisingly clean lines for a station built in the 1950s. Its octagonal pylons are white marble with green stripes, and the arches, ceiling, and ventilation grilles are painted white. Lighting comes from restrained yet elegant chandeliers.

The station was originally named Mir, but was changed to Scherbakovskaya in 1966 in honor of Aleksandr Shcherbakov, a founding member of the Union of Soviet Writers. In November 1990, the city renamed the station Alekseyevskaya for the historical settlement of Alekseyevskoye, which once belonged to Prince Dmitry Troubetskoy.

Porter County Conference

The Porter County Conference (PCC) is an athletic conference made up of eight Indiana high schools. Five of the eight schools are within Porter County, Indiana. The three remaining are in LaPorte County.

The PCC was originally formed in 1933, as the Porter County schools split off from the Lake-Porter County Conference. The conference included all of the schools inside the county except for Valparaiso. A major shakeup occurred in 1958, as Portage and Chesterton grew too large for the other remaining schools and left. Membership dropped to six schools when Jackson Township and Liberty Township consolidated into Chesterton High School in 1969. Hanover Central joined the PCC for the school year of 1972–1973. For the 1975–1976 school year, La Crosse (renamed Tri-Township in 2022) and Westville joined the PCC. Westville left the PCC after the 1997–1998 school year for the Northland Athletic Conference (now defunct). Wheeler left after the 2002–2003 school year for the Lake Athletic Conference (now defunct); South Central joined the PCC for the 2003–2004 school year in Wheeler's place. Hanover Central announced in 2012 that it would leave the PCC in to join the Greater South Shore Conference. The PCC allowed Hanover Central to leave a year early in 2013, and voted to readmit Westville, who had been an independent since the demise of the Northland Conference.

Five PCC members are in Class A, the smallest enrollment class, two are in Class 2A and one is in Class 3A. Only two PCC members (Boone Grove and South Central) offer football. Boone Grove and South Central participate in the Greater South Shore Conference in football only.

Current members

 * 1) Hebron played concurrently in the PCC and the Kankakee Valley Conference 1933–67.
 * 2) Kouts played concurrently in the PCC and KVC 1933–59.
 * 3) Westville played in the Northland Conference from 1998 to 2008, then as an Independent from 2008 until rejoining in 2013.

Former members

 * 1) Concurrent with Lake-Porter County Conference 1933–49.
 * 2) Concurrent with Calumet Conference 1949–58.

The Porter County Conference Victory Keg
The Porter County Conference Victory Keg, commonly referred to as “The Keg”, is the PCC's traveling trophy for boys basketball. The Keg is circulated through the wins and losses of the member schools of the PCC. Anytime a school possessing The Keg plays another PCC school, the game is played for possession of The Keg. The Keg is painted the color of the school that holds possession, usually by the faculty and students of the winning school. Twelve schools have bared their colors on the coveted Victory Keg.

In 1957, Morgan Township coach Elwyn Stuber suggested a boys basketball traveling trophy on behalf of the Morgan Township class of 1959. The traveling trophy was intended to be circulated among the eight smaller schools in Porter County. Hebron High School custodian Wayne Fry donated an old water keg to be used. Hebron wood shop teacher Kenneth Schiek and his students sanded and cleaned up the old water keg.

The names of all eight schools were put into hat to decide who would be the first to possess The Keg. Wheeler High School would win the draw, and The Keg was painted in Wheeler's green and orange color scheme for the first game. It would make its debut on November 15, 1957, at Wheeler in a matchup featuring Wheeler and Boone Grove. Boone Grove won the game 52–42 to be the first team to take control of The Keg.

The Keg has changed hands more than 200 times. The Hebron Hawks currently control the keg.

The Porter County Conference Victory Kup
The Porter County Conference Victory Kup, commonly known as “The Kup” is the PCC's traveling trophy for girls basketball. The Kup is circulated through the wins and losses of the member schools of the PCC. Anytime a school possessing The Kup plays another PCC school, the game is played for possession of The Kup. The Kup is painted the color of the school that holds possession, usually by the faculty and students of the winning school.

Wheeler High School Principal Charles Kennedy and Athletic Director Girls Basketball Coach suggested a traveling trophy originally intended for the PCC Girls Basketball tournament. Wheeler High School shop teacher Wayne Herlitz made The Kup and a plaque was donated by Hebron High School coach Paul Schroeder as The Kup wasn't allowed to be painted originally.

The Kup made its debut during the 1974-75 PCC Girls’ Basketball Tournament, Wheeler held possession for the first game against Washington Township High School. Washington Township would win the first “Kup Game” 42–25.

In 1980 the principals and athletic directors of the PCC member schools decided to make The Kup the traveling trophy of all PCC girls basketball games, like the PCC Victory Keg. In 1998 Morgan Township High School was the first team to paint The Kup in their school colors, becoming a tradition ever since.

The Kup is currently controlled by the Morgan Township Cherokees

Dowdy–Ficklen Stadium

Dowdy–Ficklen Stadium is the on-campus football facility at East Carolina University for the East Carolina Pirates in Greenville, North Carolina. The official capacity of the stadium is 51,000, tying it for the second largest college stadium in North Carolina. The record attendance for the stadium was on September 3, 2022, against North Carolina State University with 51,711 in attendance. The stadium is also the site of Spring Commencement exercises for the university. The field itself was commemorated as Bagwell Field in 1997.

Original construction
The initiative to build a new stadium was announced on October 7, 1961. On that day, President Leo Jenkins announced to a meeting of boosters, that a new stadium will be built to replace College Stadium. By 1962, over $280,000 was raised and Ficklen Memorial Stadium was built. The stadium was named for James Skinner Ficklen, the owner of Greenville's E.B. Skinner Tobacco Company. Skinner was a booster of the college, and established a scholarship fund in his name. The original stadium included permanent stands on the south side, a press box, and a lighting system. Ficklen Memorial Stadium opened on September 21, 1963 with a win against Wake Forest. The original seating capacity was 10,000.

Early expansions
The north side permanent seating was constructed in 1967 and 1968, increasing the capacity of the stadium to 20,000. The seats were designed by W.M. Freeman Associates from High Point. The exterior of the stadium was painted in 1970 by F.A. Miller Company. The lighting system was the next item that changed. The original lighting system was replaced with six towers outside of the stadium in 1975. The cost of the new lighting system was $450,000. L.E. Wooten company built the lighting system.

The next addition occurred two years later. The university added seats to the four corners increased the seating capacity to 35,000. This addition made Ficklen Memorial Stadium the third largest stadium in North Carolina. The expansion was funded by a $2.5 million drive in the spring of 1977. A three-story press box was built as part of this expansion. The press box, which had space for 92 writers and an entire floor for electronic media, was in use until 2018 when it was replaced by the much larger Townbank Tower. Lastly, scoreboard with a lightbank message center was placed on the east end of the stadium. The playing surface was redone in 1983. A new drainage system, new base of gravel and sand, new treated topsoil, and a new grass—Tifton 419 Hybrid Bermuda were all installed. A new sound system was built in 1988.

1990s expansions
In 1991, $1.6 million in renovations and repairs were accomplished on the stadium.

Ronald and Mary Ellen Dowdy of Orlando, Florida, donated $1 million during a fund-raising drive in 1994. Because of this donation, Ficklen Memorial Stadium was renamed Dowdy–Ficklen Stadium. Also that year the roads were improved around the stadium. 3 years later, Al and Debbie Bagwell of Lake Gaston, Virginia donated to the East Carolina Educational Foundation. Because of this donation, the field inside the stadium was named Bagwell Field.

The upper deck on the north side was completed in 1998. It increased the capacity to 40,000. This was the first seating capacity increase since 1977. A year later the club level on the north side was completed. It added 3,000 seats to the total capacity. During the expansion of the upper deck and club level, the press box received improvements. In 1999, a $2 million scoreboard was built in the east endzone. Also that year a Pirate sculpture was dedicated in the southeast area of the stadium. The three-ton bronze sculpture is over 20 ft tall. Irwin Belk gave the sculpture to the school. Jodi Hollnagel, a faculty member of the School of Art created the sculpture.

Murphy Center construction
The $13 million Murphy Center was dedicated on September 13, 2002. It was built in the west endzone of the stadium. It connects the stadium to Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum. The 52475 sqft strength and conditioning, banquet rooms, sport memorabilia, and an academic enhancement center building was named for Pete and Lynn Murphy of Rose Hill.

2009–2010 expansion
The next expansion began in December 2009. The expansion included removing the scoreboard located in the east end zone. 7,000 seats were built in its place. The seats connect the north and south sides in a horseshoe pattern. Those seats increased the capacity to 50,000. Restroom and concession stands were built under the new section. Above the east end zone, a new scoreboard was built. The HD scoreboard is 88 ft wide and a little over 28 ft tall. The LED portion is 84 ft wide. This makes the new scoreboard the 22nd largest scoreboard in NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision. On the north and south sides of the stadium, 10,200 chair-back seats were installed. Lastly, another scoreboard was built on the west end zone in front of the Murphy Center. The total cost of the expansion was $20 million.

2018–2019 renovation project
In May 2016, East Carolina revealed a $60 million renovation project for Dowdy–Ficklen Stadium, which is a portion of its athletic facilities master plan.

The project, which is slated to begin construction after the 2017 football season and was to be completed in time for the 2018 football season, has been extended to a 16-18 month construction period. In April 2019, TowneBank donated $3 million toward the renovation for naming rights. The renovation includes:

 * A four-story tower above the south general admission seats which will add than 1,000 premium seats through the addition of a new Club Level, Loge Boxes, and Suites.
 * A new field-level Club Section at the Murphy Center
 * A modern press box with additional space for media, including amended radio and television broadcast and production locations.
 * Improvements to the Ward Sports Medicine Building and Scales Field House to provide needed functional space for student-athletes.

TowneBank Tower officially opened in August 2019 and includes 19 skyboxes, four founder suites, 22 loge boxes, 530 club seats, and more than 100 media seats.

Marshall University plane crash
On November 14, 1970, the visiting Marshall University Thundering Herd lost a game 17-14 to the Pirates at Dowdy–Ficklen Stadium, which ended with Marshall quarterback Ted Shoebridge controversially being called for intentional grounding on the last play of the game. Later that evening, while on approach to Huntington Tri-State Airport, the Marshall football team's plane, which had been chartered to transport the Thundering Herd to and from Greenville, crashed, killing all 75 people on board.

On December 11, 2006, a plaque was erected at the visitors' entrance to Dowdy–Ficklen Stadium. It depicts the memorial fountain on the Marshall University campus.

1952 NFL season

The 1952 NFL season was the 33rd regular season of the National Football League. Prior to the season, the legacy of the Dayton Triangles, the final remaining Ohio League member and the franchise then known as the New York Yanks owner Ted Collins sold his team back to the NFL. A few days later, a new team was then awarded to an ownership group in Dallas, Texas, after it purchased the assets of the Yanks.

However, the new Dallas Texans went 1–11, and were sold back to the league midway through the season. For the team's last five games, the league operated the Texans as a road team, with the franchise "returning to its roots" as a traveling team just as they were in the 1920s when they were known as the Dayton Triangles, with them becoming the final traveling team to date in NFL history, using Hershey, Pennsylvania, as a home base. One of their final two "home" games were held at the Rubber Bowl in Akron, Ohio, the other one played at the opposing team's (Detroit) stadium. After the season ended, the league considers the Texans to have folded, however all of the Triangles-Texans players and assets were awarded to Carroll Rosenbloom for the following year, becoming the new Baltimore Colts, keeping the blue and white color scheme, and the assets of the franchise ultimately never missing a season in some form. This left Dallas without a professional football franchise until the births of the Dallas Cowboys and the AFL version of the Dallas Texans in 1960.

The Detroit Lions defeated the Cleveland Browns in the NFL Championship Game.

This was the last NFL season prior to the introduction of regular season overtime in 1974 that there were no ties in the regular season.

Draft
The 1952 NFL Draft was held on January 17, 1952 at Philadelphia's Hotel Statler. With the first pick, the Los Angeles Rams selected quarterback Bill Wade from Vanderbilt University.

Major rule changes

 * Offensive players will not be called for illegal motion as long as they do not move forward prior to the snap.
 * The penalty for offensive pass interference is 15 yards from the previous spot, unless the result on a fourth down play is a touchback.
 * A player who commits a palpably (obviously) unfair act is ejected from the game.

Highlights

 * In Week One (September 28), the Cleveland Browns hosted a rematch of their 1951 title game loss to the Rams, which had taken place in Los Angeles. That 24–17 loss was avenged with a 37–7 win for the Browns.  The NFL's newest team, the Dallas Texans, played their first game, but a crowd of only 17,499 turned out to watch the visiting Giants.  The Texans scored first, on a pass from George Taliaferro to Buddy Young, two of the few African-American players in the NFL at that time.  The Giants scored the rest of the points in a 24–6 win.
 * Week Three (October 12) the Giants beat the Browns 17–9, and the 49ers shut out the Lions 28–0, as both stayed unbeaten on the road.
 * Week Four (October 19) saw the 49ers stay unbeaten with a 40–18 win over the Bears, while the Chicago Cardinals spoiled the Giants' home opener, 24–23.
 * San Francisco's streak finally ended on November 2 in Week Six when the Bears visited. The 49ers were leading, 17–10 in the 4th quarter, when Frankie Albert made an unnecessary gamble in a 4th and 4 on his own 31-yard line, trying to gain yardage on a fake punt.  Chicago took over on downs and tied the game three plays later, and George Blanda's 48-yard field goal gave them a 20–17 win.
 * In Week Seven (November 9), the 49ers lost in New York, 23–14, while Detroit beat Pittsburgh 31–6 and Cleveland beat the Cardinals 28–13. Both conference races were tied, with the Giants and Browns in the American, and the Lions joining the 49ers in the National, all with 5–2–0 records.  In Dallas, only 10,000 turned out in a drizzle to watch the Texans fall to 0–7–0 in a 27–6 loss to the Rams.  It proved to be the Texans' last Cotton Bowl date, and the last pro football game played in the state of Texas until 1960.  After losses of $250,000 and failed attempts to get refinancing, the team's 16 stockholders surrendered the franchise three days later, the league took over its operations, and the remaining games in Dallas were moved.
 * In Week Eight (November 16) the Browns had a 22–0 lead over Pittsburgh and then withstood a four touchdown passing attack by Jim Finks in a 29–28 win. A safety, caused when Finks had been sacked in the end zone earlier, was the margin of victory.  With the Giants' 17–3 loss to Green Bay, Cleveland took over first place in the American Conference.  Meanwhile, Detroit and San Francisco both won to stay tied in the National.
 * Week Nine (November 23) saw a seven-way tie for the NFL's best record, with more than half of the teams at 6–3–0, and only three games left in the season. The 5–3 Rams beat the 6–2 49ers 35–9, and the 5–3 Eagles beat the 6–2 Browns 28–20.  The 3–5 Bears upset the visiting 6–2 Lions, 24–23, after George Blanda passed to Ed Sprinkle with 8 seconds to play.  In addition, the 5–3 Giants and the 5–3 Packers won their games against Washington (14–10) and Dallas (42–14) respectively.
 * This oddity only lasted a few days. Week Ten began on Thanksgiving Day, as the Lions beat the Packers 48–24. The same day, November 27, the 0–9–0 Texans played the Bears in Akron, Ohio after Dallas and Chicago were both unavailable.  The Texans blew an 18-point lead, but with 0:34 to play, Frank Tripucka scored and the NFL's orphaned team registered its first (and last) win, 27–23.  About 3,000 Ohioans watched the game, compared to 14,800 who packed the stadium earlier that day to watch a high school game.  On November 30, the Rams and 49ers, both 6–3–0, met for the second straight week, this time in San Francisco, and the L.A. team won 34–21.  The NFL's two other 6–3 teams, the Eagles and the Giants, both lost on the road.  The Cards beat Philly 28–22.  The 3–6 Steelers, however, handed the Giants their worst defeat ever, beginning with a 91-yard return of the opening kickoff by Lynn Chandnois and ending 63–7.  With that, the Browns were alone in the American race, while the Lions and Rams were tied in the National.
 * The Browns, Lions and Rams won again in Week Eleven, as did Philadelphia, but the Giants were eliminated with a 27–17 loss to Washington.
 * In the final games of the regular season (December 14) in Week Twelve, Detroit won 41–6 in the last NFL game for the Dallas Texans, and the Rams beat Pittsburgh 28–14, tying both for the National title at 9–3–0, and forcing a playoff. In the American Conference, the 7–4 Eagles were hoping for the 8–3 Browns to lose, and Cleveland fell in New York, 37–34, despite a fourth quarter comeback attempt.  Playing against the last place (2–8) Redskins, the Eagles had a 21–14 lead in the fourth quarter, but Eddie LeBaron crossed the goal line with 0:18 to play, for Washington's only home win in 1952, and handing the Browns the conference title.

Playoffs
The Lions hosted and won the National Conference playoff. The Browns hosted the NFL Championship Game, but were defeated by the Lions.

Talk:Francis Godwin

Untitled
I was fascinated to learn that Francis Godwin influenced swifts, which, according to the link, are birds very similar to swallows. Would those be the African swallows or the European swallows? Their respective airspeeds (laden and unladen) we leave for another article.
 * It is evident that the correct link refers to Jonathan Swift! And the "swift messenger" is the fast messenger. But nevertheless, there are birds involved: pigeons for transporting messages. --Siffler
 * In view of his protagonist Domingo Gonsales' ability to train "Gansas" (mythological swans) to fly to the moon, perhaps Godwin did have some influence on swifts? At least mythological ones ....
 * It might also be worth pointing out that the text of "The Man in the Moone" is available here:
 * http://web.archive.org/web/20041208211657/purple.home.texas.net/etexts/Moone/contents.htm
 * It's an enjoyable read and testifies to Godwin's breadth of vision, though his mechanical genius was perhaps not quite up to Leonardo's standard! I would question whether Godwin's astronomy was fully Copernican: he takes the then dangerous position of asserting through Gonzales that the Earth rotates, but still has it appear to be (as in the then standard medieval view) in the centre of the universe.

Jagjaguwar

Jagjaguwar is an American independent record label based in Bloomington, Indiana.

History
In 1996, in Charlottesville, Virginia, University of Virginia student Darius Van Arman, later Jagjaguwar's founder, was a music director at UVA's WTJU radio station, a clerk at the Plan 9 Records store, art director at Charlottesville's C-Ville Weekly, an overnight supervisor for an adult-care facility, and booking shows at The Tokyo Rose.

During this time, Adam Busch (who also would put music out on Jagjaguwar as Manishevitz), was part of a band called The Curious Digit. The band needed a label, and Van Arman made The Curious Digit's Bombay Aloo the first release under his new Jagjaguwar label. The name "Jagjaguwar" was generated using a Dungeons & Dragons character name-generating computer program. Shortly thereafter, Richmond band Drunk learned about Jagjaguwar and Drunk member Rick Alverson reached out to Van Arman to see if there was room for one more band on the label. He booked them to play at Tokyo Rose and then signed them to the label on the spot.

In 1999, Van Arman and Chris Swanson, who was part owner of the record label Secretly Canadian, became friends and soon partners. Fairly early on in those exchanges, Van Arman suggested a partnership in Jagjaguwar.

Van Arman relocated to Bloomington in 1999, and Jagjaguwar and Secretly Canadian grew closer. Van Arman soon became a partner in Secretly Canadian, and other Secretly Canadian partners, Ben Swanson and Jonathan Cargill, joined Van Arman and Chris Swanson in a Jagjaguwar partnership.

In 2001, a demo from Austin, Texas-based folk band Okkervil River was sent to Chris Swanson. With each Okkervil River release on Jagjaguwar—Don't Fall in Love with Everyone You See (2002), Down the River of Golden Dreams (2003), Sleep and Wake-Up Songs (2004) and Black Sheep Boy (2005), the band's profile grew. Much of Black Sheep Boy was written at Van Arman's house in Bloomington when Will Sheff stayed with him for some months.

Alongside Okkervil River's releases, Jagjaguwar also released the debut album from Vancouver band Black Mountain. Following Black Mountain's debut, Jagjaguwar signed more artists to the label including Wilderness, The Besnard Lakes, and Sunset Rubdown.

In 2007, Jagjaguwar signed Eau Claire, Wisconsin project Bon Iver (led by Justin Vernon), whose self-recorded album For Emma, Forever Ago (2008) had seen a grassroots groundswell based on just a handful of CD-R copies Vernon was selling at shows. The initial pressing of For Emma, Forever Ago sold out within the first few weeks. For Emma, Forever Ago received a sales certification of Gold in 2012, the same week Bon Iver's self-titled follow up album, Bon Iver, went gold.

Sharon Van Etten released her Jagjaguwar debut, Tramp, in 2012, and her second album, Are We There, in 2014. Unknown Mortal Orchestra signed to Jagjaguwar to release their sophomore album II (2013). In spring 2015, they released another album, Multi-Love.

In 2007, Jagjaguwar's became part of the Secretly Group.

In 2018, Jagjaguwar was listed at number 4 on Paste magazine's top 10 record labels of 2018.

Talk:Benjamin Whichcote

Removal of Cousins
"He was of liberal views" is all that remains of The Short Biographical Dictionary in the present version. I.e. there is nothing to justify listing it in the references anymore. That's why I originally removed it. However, one can compare the diffs on the first creation, which was a dump from Cousins, and the present, to see this. Now, I'm on record as loathing that Dictionary (it may be PD, but it's also worthless), but I removed it from the references here because, simply put, it isn't referred to nor drawn from at all. The article as it stands now relies entirely upon the Ox. Dict. for its facts and a Wikipedia editor for its wording, organization, and presentation. Geogre 02:48, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Which "Stoke" in Shropshire? - caution on birthplace
The article, without citation, states his birthplace Whichcote Hall being near Stoke-on-Tern, which is near Market Drayton in north Shropshire. However, the full name of the parish is not given in the linked Encyclopaedia Brittanica or Venn sources, simply as "Stoke, Shropshire". However, there is another parochial village in Shropshire called Stoke, namely Stoke St Milborough near Ludlow in south Shropshire. Ought this to be checked out?Cloptonson (talk) 19:02, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
