Talk:Hurricane Hugo

Question
Can someone verify the 3000 tornadoes? that sounds like an awfully high number.

 * I removed it. That is definetly false. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 14:10, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Todo
I put this as a B. Nonetheless there is a lot to be done here - inline references would be a good start, with a little more on storm history, restructuring of the 3 impact sections, maybe a separate "preparations" and "aftermath" sections. Jdorje 20:47, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I say that this is a c because someone doing a report or term of the sort might need more information like when the hurricane hit time date category before and after it hit and scale on the damage. Thus making it easier to gather such information and getting everything one would need to know. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User: (talk • contribs).

Restructuring
I restructured the article quite a bit. The new structure is much better but some of the sections need to be expanded. The one-paragraph sections should most likely be expanded rather than removed. — jdorje (talk) 05:59, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Deaths
Can we have a deaths-by-region table? http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastdeadlyapp1.shtml lists it as Guadeloupe, Montserrat, South Carolina. — jdorje (talk) 05:08, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Tornadoes
Well, I might have found a source. This site says the storm had 3000 embedded tornadoes. However, the official NOAA answer to the most tornadoes from a hurricane was Ivan with 117, far less than Hugo's supposed 3000. I propose we get rid of it. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 03:40, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The official reports don't give a quantity to the number of tornadoes associated with Hugo and 3000 is ridiculously high; I mean thats more than 4 times the annual average for tornadoes in the US! I've found a few refs for the 3000 figure as well, but when the NWS doesn't mention give a figure in its report (interestingly they used the Fujita scale to quantify the straightline wind damage) but the implication of the text is there was a low number of tornadoes. Did you notice that site cited Hurricane Andrew? I say get rid of it or mention "the SC gov said there were 3000 tornadoes" if a good source can be found for it but also stating he was wrong.--Nilfanion (talk) 09:28, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed, we should just get rid of it. There's no point in even saying the governor was wrong, as it's not particularly important to the article. Unless there was some controvery involving what he said, there's no point in even mentioning it, especially since we don't know for sure how much damage the tornadoes did, nor how many there were. Yea, the Andrew mention was interesting. It'd be good in the Andrew article. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 13:26, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I think there's a big difference between spawned tornadoes and embedded tornadoes. We don't even know that much about the latter phenomenon, so for all we know 3000 could be correct. Pobbie Rarr 21:09, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I doubt that however, the source is what a state governor said not what a meteorologist said after all. In the case of Katrina, there were 62 tornadoes spawned by Katrina. However, the area subject to F2 damaging eyewall winds comprised several counties in MS and LA, a far greater area (see the last page of the NWS report). Hurricanes don't need to spawn tornadoes to do F2 damage.--Nilfanion (talk) 21:19, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi -- I added a couple of external links. If you review the 1994 report, most of the severe damage was attributed to microbursts, based on aerial observations of the damage patterns. It seems to be a common misconception that there are a lot of tornadoes associated with the strongest hurricane winds, which may be because it is the only frame of reference that an observer has to comprehend what is occuring. For instance, a woman quoted in the Sun Herald said of Katrina that when it came ashore she saw tornadoes all around her. Margie 20:16, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Hugo Images
It's hard to tell because one of them is rotated, but aren't the two images in the article showing the storm in the exact same position? Also, the first one in the infobox is unsourced. I found the best Hugo image at this site, but I don't know if we can use it here. Good kitty 00:39, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Death Count
The intro has it at 82, but all other mentions are at 76. Thanos6 (talk) 04:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Pissed off
This is it? Really, disgusting..... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.204.242.120 (talk) 05:42, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Bot report : Found duplicate references !
In the last revision I edited, I found duplicate named references, i.e. references sharing the same name, but not having the same content. Please check them, as I am not able to fix them automatically :) DumZiBoT (talk) 02:01, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * "pastcost" :

Sentence removed
This sentence was tacked onto the end of the paragraph in the FEMA criticism section. I removed it because it just doesn't seem to really work there. Its sort of off topic: "However, FEMA was criticized severely in 2005 for its similarly insufficient response to Hurricane Katrina, while private relief agencies and corporations such as Wal-Mart were praised for their prompt and comprehensive response to the disaster. FEMA's relevancy was questioned in Katrina's aftermath."

The 20th Anniversary of Hurricane Hugo
September 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Hugo, the very devastating storm which caused extensive damage and death through Puerto Rico, the Virgins, Leewards, South Carolina and western North Carolina. Please give insights on Hurricane Hugo, September 1989 vs 2009 and what would happen should similar hurricanes hit today. The UWEC Class under 173.19.119.172 (talk) 02:42, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

And, now it's the 30th Anniversary of Hurricane Hugo Infinitive01 (talk) 03:32, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

When it hit Charlotte
I don't have a source for this handy, but I remember 65 MPH sustained winds and 89 MPH gusts (that's official, but based on the damage some places surely had worse than that). That's not even hurricane velocity! You go by sustained winds, not gusts. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 21:03, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I did a search and finally found confirmation of what I believed. Different sources have different wind speeds, though. I'm almost afraid to ask what The Charlotte Observer will do. Someone found a source for that Category 3 hurricane statement. It was the Observer! But not a staff writer. I contacted someone quoted in the article, since the writer had no contact information. Hopefully in a couple of months, we'll get the real story. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 20:22, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I lived in Charlotte at the time, it was certainly more than 54 mph sustained and there was clearly an eye. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/hugo/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.132.54.218 (talk) 19:54, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Hugo was a Category 1 in Charlotte. CrazyC83 (talk) 03:13, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

NOAA 42 Aircraft Incident
I feel that the in-air emergency aboard NOAA 42 while doing a mission into the storm belongs in this article, maybe in the section along with the info about Queen Elizabeth II?

In case you have never heard of it... http://www.wunderground.com/resources/education/hugo1.asp ZachofMS (talk) 10:44, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Five years on, and this article still fails to mention the near loss of NOAA 42 in Hugo. I find this to be very surprising, given that the incident is quite noteworthy, especially within the meteorological community. Perhaps one of the primary article editors could consider adding this information? AJC3fromS2K (talk) 03:41, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Subdivision for either Puerto Rico or South Carolina
Both places saw category 4 effects. Article is quite long. thoughts? --HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 17:30, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Since it appears that Hugo had a major impact in many places in the Caribbean, I wouldn't be opposed to creating an article like "Effects of Hurricane Hugo in the Caribbean" or something similar. There is plenty to go off of, and like before, most of the impacts were felt in that area. As for the United states, I think that we could form an article for that, for now I would wait. 🌀Weatherman27🏈 (Chat, Edits)  18:06, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Given that Hugo largely only affected the Carib and the US, I don't think it needs sub-articles for the Carib and the US. That would split off almost everything in the article. There are 16 paragraphs of impact covering the Caribbean, covering $3 billion worth of impacts. I don't think there should be one for the entire US, we don't tend to have those articles - ones for Hurricane Noel and Dorian got either merged or split to focus on a state. Since SC was the most heavily impacted area, it having five paragraphs of info doesn't seem too significant, compared to the 16 for the Carib. Going strictly by what would split off the most, I'd suggest a sub-article for the Caribbean. Thanks for adding so much info about the Carib. It pushed the article to 150 kb, which is a bit too long. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 19:06, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

 * It would cut off most of the article, but it needs condensing and that’s best done with carribbean impacts. I think we should at least do carribbean. HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 19:54, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Hurricane Klaus (1990)

Image
An image is needed to go in the infobox. Jdorje 01:19, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Have fun in finding one - if it weren't retired (a questionable decision in many minds), I doubt this storm would have its own page... CrazyC83 02:15, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Got one, believe it or not. The home page is located here. Hurricanehink 06:26, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Todo
Impact. Jdorje 09:04, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Ugh, there's so little information. I'm listing some links in case anyone wants to do this one (though it will probably be me... oh well).

Hurricanehink 03:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Overall Effects
 * Dam Effects
 * South Carolina Details

 * Damn NHC! In the Marco report, they are about to get to the damage report (see the 2nd page of the Marco report), but they they skip to something else! Why is there no information on this storm?!?! Hurricanehink 00:48, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, is this better than a Start article? Hurricanehink 01:32, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Yeah. Can you add inline sources for the storm history section? Jdorje 01:40, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Sure. Hurricanehink 01:41, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Should it be renamed Hurricane Klaus-Marco? Marco is an important aspect of the article, and contributed as much damage as Klaus did. Hurricanehink 02:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

 * No, I think that would imply they are the same storm (like the crossover hurricanes). But maybe Hurricane Marco should redirect here. Jdorje 03:23, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

 * But Hurricane Marco should stay as the redirect, as this Marco was a tropical storm. You're right about crossovers, but technically Marco formed from a secondary area of low pressure off of the main system, Hurricane Klaus. They were sort of the same system, and they did combine later on for the flooding. You are right, it would be confusing for the title, though. Maybe mention it more in detail for the intro? Like, Hurricane Klaus was a hurricane in October of 1990 that, when combined with Tropical Storm Marco, produced torrential rainfall across the southeastern United States. ' I don't know what is the best solution, but something should be done, IMO. Also, is this yet a B Class article? If not, what else can be done while my mind is on this mid-understood storm? (I say misunderstood because, if you look just a half of a page up, it is said its retirement is questionable due to lack of information). Hurricanehink 03:32, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I have to disagree on the two storms being part of the same system. Klaus formed from a tropical wave, and a new upper low formed the initially subtropical cyclone that became Marco, which would have happenned if Klaus had been there or not.  There has been a similar debate raging about the "two Gordons" of 1994...one of these evolutions (Marco/Klaus 1990 and Gordon part 1/Gordon part 2 of 1994) must be fixed for the HURDAT database to be more consistent.  Without the upper low and Marco's formation, Klaus might have gone up to strike the Carolinas as a more significant system.  Instead, Klaus' old circulation center went up the Florida east coast before becoming obscured in the Southeast. Thegreatdr 22:28, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

 * True, they were not the exact same system. However, Marco would have likely never occurred if it weren't for Klaus. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 00:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Well it still lacks metric in most places. Not sure if that is (or should be) a requirement for B-class (probably it should). Jdorje 03:38, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Also, I bolded Marco in the intro, but I'm not sure if this is enough. The article pretty much covers marco in full (e.g., the florida section) so it does need full coverage in the intro. Jdorje 03:51, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I guess that's enough... Hurricanehink 13:13, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Marco
This season's TS Marco is almost 100% more notable in almost 100% of the ways. Rather then creating a Marco article (it runs together with Klaus too much) perhaps we could add a section all about Marco to this article? Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 18:31, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I was thinking that when I first made the article, that is fine with me. Marco and Klaus combined with the cold front to cause the 10-15 inches of rain. In addition, Marco developed out of a low pressure center on the western edge of Klaus. Anyone disagree? Hurricanehink 19:50, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I like the idea of naming it Marco-Klaus, since Marco absorbed Klaus right as it was getting to the lower 48. Thegreatdr 18:48, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, that sounds good. I was initially thinking against it, but Joan, Klaus, and Hattie all have the EPAC storms with them. Though we havn't done it yet for an Atlantic storm, I think this situation could warrant it, so Hurricane Klaus-Marco works. Klaus should be first as it was retired and was the first storm. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:56, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * This is a different situation than Hattie/Simone/Inga. In that case, the same low crossed the central American isthmus twice.  In this case, a new system aloft which dived out of the westerlies formed Marco.  Marco wasn't a reformation of Klaus.  The initially subtropical system absorbed/sheared Klaus to death. Thegreatdr 20:35, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I was more thinking in general that a retired name would share a name. Yea, the storms were different. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:39, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

So what are we going to do? If Marco is added, then more Florida impact could be added. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:33, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Why was Klaus retired?

 * So what country requested the retirement of this name? Was it the United States?  The Bahamas?  Some Leeward Island or other? Jdorje 03:50, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * No idea where to find that information. Websites I've looked said Martinique, but they don't mention the Southeast United States at all. I would personally guess South Carolina, where most of the destruction was. Hurricanehink 13:13, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we should dig very deep into why Martinique requested the retirement of this name. What damage was done there?  Perhaps it was worse than any of us really know... I note that I've not seen Martinique request the retirement of other storm names.  Was Klaus their worst storm up to that point? PenguinCDF 21:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you sure Martinique requested it? According to what I've read, the lopsided circulation reduced damage to a minima. Where can you find a list of retired names and which country requested their retirement? Hurricanehink 21:48, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The minimal damage was in the Leeward Islands. Martinique (the first island south of those islands) had flooding that left 6 dead and 1500 displaced (finally found the link to the 1990 flood archives).  I can't seem to access the Klaus report from the NHC at this time, but it seems the flooding was enough to merit a request from Martinique.  To answer your question, whenever I come across a list of retired names online, the list typically mentions what places were affected.  Every list I come across only shows Martinique in reference to Klaus, not Georgia or South Carolina. PenguinCDF 22:32, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow, nicely done! Hurricanehink 22:40, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

1500 homeless out of a population of 350,000 is quite large - comparable to Katrina's displacement in the United States, though obviously very localized. However this should be explained in the article. — jdorje (talk) 02:55, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It was described briefly by NOAA Public Affairs. Thegreatdr 20:32, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

In the Aftermath section it says France retired it. --12george1 (talk) 23:37, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yea, for Martinique. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 23:52, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Marco-Klaus (1990) Rainfall Updated
You all are fortunate indeed in reverting back to 19.89" for the maximum in Georgia for Marco/Klaus. Until today, it was uncertain if Louisville 1E had received 12 or 20" of rain. A nice woman from the Georgia State Climatology office mentioned that the initial NCDC rainfall data I unearthed was incorrect from their website, my e-mail alerted them to the error. I'm starting to go back through Storm Data and check for any additional information, after Marco/Klaus (1990) and Chris (1982) turned up some unexpected finds. Thegreatdr 22:22, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Good Article Assessment
Here is the current revision of the page. Below is my assessment..
 * GA review (see here for criteria)

 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): (good coverage of sources, but may need more in lead, apart from that, they were excellent placed) b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
 * 1) It is stable.
 * (no edits wars etc.)
 * 1) It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
 * a (tagged and captioned): b lack of images (does not in itself exclude GA):  c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
 * 1) Overall:
 * a Pass/Fail:

Here is a greater analysis of my findings:
 * I can find no original research, however the lead contains no references, but as there are no major citings, I am willing to view it as a minor. ✅
 * All images were appropriately tagged. ✅
 * There was a use of images, which helped improve the readability which was already good✅
 * Only a few grammar mistakes, with commas and tagging etc., but most has been sorted by me. ✅
 * All references used were independent and reliable. ✅
 * There was a correct use of cited sources, which were placed in the appropriate place (after the punctuation)✅
 * The prose was very good. ✅

Note:Most of the above was lifted from Tropical Storm Marco (1990), which had the same editors, same prose, and a hurricane which was relevant to TS Marco.

General comments
This is a good article, and I am willing to pass this article on the basis that references in the lead will either not be seen as relevant or will be improved by the nominatin editor. Well done to the editors involved. R udget talk 17:11, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

List of solar eclipses visible from China

This list of solar eclipses seen from China describes precise visibility information for solar eclipses and major cities in China.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring Earth's view of the Sun. Eclipses can be total, annular, or partial. The zone of a total eclipse where the sky appears dark is often just a few miles wide. This is known as the path of totality.

An eclipse that is "visible from Asia" in general terms might not be visible at all at a specific location. E.g., parts of Sri Lanka may fall into darkness for a few seconds, people in Indonesia, India, and Pakistan enjoy the partial eclipse, and Beijing may be too far away to fall under the Moon's shadow.

Occasionally a major city lies in the direct path of an annular or total eclipse, which is of great interest to astronomy buffs – some people make travel arrangements years in advance to observe eclipses. Nearly two-thirds of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans, thus a total eclipse at a major metropolitan area where hotels and amenities are available is an event of considerable interest.

Eclipses were of great interest to ancient Chinese astronomers, who viewed them as omens. Many are recorded in the Spring and Autumn Annals and in the Twenty-Four Histories, which has been helpful to historians in assigning absolute dates to events from Chinese history.

Bass, Victoria

Bass is a small rural town 113 kilometres (70 mi) south-east of Melbourne via the South Gippsland and Bass Highways, in the Bass Coast Shire of Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. At the 2006 census, Bass and the surrounding area had a population of 937.

The town is named after George Bass who explored and named Western Port bay in 1798 in a small whaling boat and sailed some distance up the Bass River. A memorial to George Bass stands in the George Bass Park. In 1835 a Scottish immigrant from Kirkcudbright Scotland named Samuel Anderson sailed up the Bass River and established the third permanent settlement in Victoria he was joined in 1837 by Robert Massie. Samuel had arrived in Hobart in 1830 aboard the Lang and took up a position as bookkeeper at Circular Head with Van Diemen's Land Company before setting out for Western Port in September 1835. Samuel's brothers Hugh and Thomas joined him at Bass where they established a successful farming venture. The Anderson graves and some of their descendants are located in the San Remo Cemetery. Descendants of Thomas Anderson, the only brother to marry, remain in the area to this day.

The township of Bass was surveyed and settled in the early 1860s, the Post Office opening on 1 June 1862.

Located near the town is the former Wildlife Wonderland, which featured a Giant Earthworm Museum. This building allowed tourists to crawl through a magnified replica of a worm burrow and a simulated worm's stomach. Displays and educational material on the Giant Gippsland earthworm, which can grow up to 3 metres in length, and other natural history of Gippsland were also featured. The museum was shut down in 2012, and since become popular with "rough sleepers and urban explorers".

The town in conjunction with neighbouring township Kilcunda has an Australian Rules football team competing in the West Gippsland Football Netball Competition.

Talk:Hurricane Alice (December 1954)

Article naming and confusion
Should be a disambiguation and this should be clearly differentiated (i.e. Hurricane Alice (1954-55)), as it is quite confusing. The article is definitely warranted for this storm but the name should be changed. Agreed? CrazyC83 01:30, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Not really, it's the only notable Alice that I can think of (although the first Alice of 1954 did kill 50 people if I'm not mistaken). Plus Hurricane Alice (1954-55) is extremely awkward to say the least.

 * E. Brown, Hurricane enthusiast - Squawk Box 00:06, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

 * 1954-55 is clearly wrong...it is is a part of the 54 season so it is Alice (1954). This isn't an issue so long as no other notable Alice hurricanes exist.  The issue of differentiating it from the other Alice (1954) is an uglier one. Jdorje 03:41, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I've moved it to Hurricane Alice (December 1954), the most appropriate titling considering it is theoretically possible that Hurricane Alice (June 1954) will eventually get an article. —Cuiviénen 18:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

 * That sounds best due to the lack of any real options. The June storm should get an article at some point, so some form of disambiguation is required. CrazyC83 15:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Perhaps Hurricane Alice and Hurricane Alice (1954) should be redirected to Tropical Storm Alice? Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

What more is there?
This was suggested for a Portal:Tropical cyclones featured article. However there's not very much info about it at all. Can we find any more interesting information to add here? I don't really have any suggestions however. Jdorje 06:26, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I have a couple of ideas, but none of them are imperative. First, we could mention how rare December and January storms are, saying there have only been 8 storms forming in December in history, and that 4 storms reached hurricane intensity during December. Likewise, you could say Alice was the only tropical storm during the month of January, though a subtropical storm formed in 1978. Also, you could mention that elsewhere in the world trans-calendar year storms aren't as rare. For example, there have been 6 in the WPAC in the last 60 years, and because our winter is their summer, the Southern Hemisphere has had 11 since 1996. That might be relevant to the article, but I can't think of anything to add to this. Hurricanehink 14:53, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Even in the Southern Hemisphere, December is basically equal to our June, so it is far from the peak of the season there. CrazyC83 18:26, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Huh?
"This information was often sketchy; two cyclones, including a Category 2 hurricane, went undetected in 1954." If they went undetected, how do we know they existed? Clarify please. --Golbez 04:27, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

 * They were undetected operationally, but in post-analysis ship reports confirmed a tropical cyclone. Hurricanehink 06:15, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

This is pre-NHC....
Ummm.. the storm history says "The NHC started advisories..." however National Hurricane Center says the NHC was not formed until 1967...--Nilfanion (talk) 22:44, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

 * No idea. Question though, if the NHC began in 1967, then how could the NHC have summaries back to 1958? Also, who would decide on the naming of the storm before the NHC? Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:24, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well I looked at a random example - Debra (1963). The report is by "Department of Commerce: Weather Bureau" - and according to the NOAA FAQ they were the people who named.--Nilfanion (talk) 09:17, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, that looks good. That should be in there, if anything. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 13:21, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

The only?
In your first sentense you say Hurricane Alice "was the only hurricane in the history of the Atlantic basin known to span two calendar years". But, as you later mention, is'nt Tropical Storm Zeta another one? Zeta also formed in the Atlanic Basin. 68.112.238.11 17:22, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Tropical Storm Zeta did not reach hurricane strength so while both storms have existed in 2 years, only Alice was a hurricane in 2 years as Zeta was only a tropical storm (ie weaker).--Nilfanion (talk) 17:26, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Consumer price index in 1954-55
Someone incorrectly stated that $100,000 in 1954-55 was worth $6.9 million in 2005! While inflation has indeed been horrible, things haven't been that terrifying. Looking up the consumer price index for the years in question, it seems that things cost 6.85 times what they did then (1954 = 80.5; 2005 = 552; measured in 1967 dollars), so I've corrected the present value to $690,000.

Whether the CPI overstates inflation is, of course, another matter! Heian-794 18:48, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry, that's my fault. I used the deflation calculator, and I thought there was one more decimal place than there actually was. That day I added a lot of money values, and most were at least 1 million. Good catch. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 23:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

GA on hold
There are just a few small things that need to be fixed. I am testing out a new, more formal review system, and I would appreciate it if you could tell me what you think about it. Anyways, here is my review summary, section-by-section:

Infobox
Overall quality (prose, formatting, etc): Excellent
 * No problems.

Lead
Overall quality: Excellent
 * Summarizes the article well, no problems.

Storm history
Overall quality: Excellent
 * No problems.

Impact, Naming, and Records
Overall quality: Very good
 * "the U.S. Weather Bureau Office in San Juan, Puerto Rico warned the islands of the northern Lesser Antilles for strong winds and rough seas" should be "the U.S. Weather Bureau Office in San Juan, Puerto Rico warned the islands of the northern Lesser Antilles to prepare for strong winds and rough seas", in my opinion, as the former sentence above seems awkward somehow.
 * "Alice was the latest tropical cyclone ever to form in the Atlantic". At first, I thought that "latest" meant the most recent hurricane to form, but I quickly corrected myself.  Perhaps you could reword this so that people know that this means "latest in a hurricane season", rather than "most recent hurricane".  I realize that this sounds silly, considering that the hurricane formed in 1954, but if had that thought, who else might?

GA passed
Thanks for making the changes. There were a few other minor things I spotted, so I just fixed them myself. Congrats, Green451 02:59, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Then why the article is still ranked at start class?Storm05 18:06, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

GA Sweeps Review: Pass
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2006. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would be beneficial to go through the article and update all of the access dates of the inline citations and fix any dead links. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 21:25, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Two calendar years vs hurricane seasons
The article previously stated that the hurricane was in two hurricane seasons - this is incorrect. If there was a defined breakpoint between hurricane seasons (and there isn't), it would be sometime in March. So, while Alice did last into 1955, it did not make it to the 1955 hurricane season. Same is true of Zeta. Ego White Tray (talk) 14:58, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * By definition, Alice wasn't in any hurricane season, since it formed outside of the boundaries that the NHC has set (June to November). ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:24, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Hurricane Alice (December 1954) → Hurricane Alice – It's seemed to be a primary topic for me - Why? When compared to other storms using this name in the Atlantic, i can say even the June version of this storm is more larger in the page bytes than this one, this incarnation of the storm is very notable for being formed very early (it's the earliest) in the season. Using the Wikimedia's Pageviews tool, when compared to other storms using this name (in Atlantic!) this one trumped another incarnations of the storms using this name. I cannot say anything than just move this page into without the years. NOTE: If this request got a consensus that results in a move, i would like for June version to be moved into Hurricane Alice (1954), but i think this move will be very controversial (since due to the fact that are two Alices in this year rather than one Alice). So, i might doubt that it will be moved same time as this incarnation does. Anyways, Thanks! SMB99thx XD (contribs) 10:45, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Greenfield status

Greenfield status (also known as "unrestricted re-use" ) is an end point wherein a parcel of land that had been in industrial use is, in principle, restored to the conditions existing before the construction of the plant.

All power plants—whether coal, gas, and nuclear—have a finite life beyond which it is no longer economical to operate them. At that point they are decommissioned; that is, they are dismantled and their components are disposed, either by sale or scrapping. In some cases the buildings that housed the plant may be put to other uses. However, in many cases contamination is unacceptable, and the buildings are demolished. The land on which the plant operated also may have been polluted with high levels of toxins, and in this case other remedial measures like removal and replacement of the top soil or clay capping may be required to render the site safe in perpetuity.

It is becoming standard practice in many jurisdictions to mandate a return to greenfield status at the end of plant service as a condition of the initial site license, and potential licensees must demonstrate that steps will be taken to assure the availability of funds via the posting of a reclamation bond for that task before a site license will be issued. While this concept has mainly applied to the power generating industry, it is coming into wider use in other areas of industrial decommissioning.

Wheatley, Ontario

Wheatley is a community in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, within the municipality of Chatham-Kent. It lies about 12 km east of Leamington. Nearby parks include Two Creeks Conservation Area, which has 15 km of hiking and bicycling paths, Kopegaron Woods Conservation Area, Hillman Marsh Conservation Area and Point Pelee National Park. Rondeau Provincial Park is only a forty-five-minute drive to the east. It also boasts Wheatley Provincial Park, home to the endangered Blue Racer snake, which can only be found in the park as well as the Point Pelee National Park and on Pelee Island.

The town has a few beaches, including Camper's Cove Campsite and beach which lies on the former Highway 3. As well as Holiday Harbour Resort on Pier Road. The town's population was 2,322 in 2006. As of 2016, the population was 2,868.

Wheatley is the primary community of licence for CHWI, a television station more popularly associated with the city of Windsor.

Wheatley's sign proclaims it as the "Freshwater Fish Capital of the World" and is home to a large fishing port located on Lake Erie. As such, Wheatley is home to many fisheries owned and operated by local families.

Hike Metal Products, a shipbuilding/refitting/fabricating company based at the harbour, is the builder of the Maid of the Mist, the vessel used at Niagara Falls for the tours under the great Canadian waterfall. It also built the 141-foot Copasetic, a research vessel, as well as a ferry for the Toronto Island Airport, to take passengers and vehicles from downtown Toronto to the Toronto Islands.

History
Prior to the arrival of white settlers, the area was home to a population of Indigenous people known as Neutrals, an Iroquoian tribe of the south. The Indigenous Neutrals were experts in carving arrowheads, spear points, and tomahawks. The flint beds located along the shores of Lake Erie were the source of the hard-stone building materials. The year 1818 saw the beginning of construction of the southwestern portion of Talbot Road. Col. Burwell, the chief surveyor, was hired by Col. Thomas Talbot (a British officer and land developer) to supervise the construction of the road which eventually stretched over 300 miles along the shoreline of Lake Erie. Following the completion of the road, settlers arrived and began taking up crown lands. The first settler, Wheatley, arrived from England.

Wheatley had been named "Pegtown" prior to the arrival of its first permanent settler Richard Wheatley who built a home on lot 218 Talbot trail in 1832. He was proceeded by such families as the Derbyshire's, Lamarsh's, Julien's and Ivison's most of whom can be found in directories and on local street signs in the area. Many speculate that the town was referred to as Pegtown due to the construction of homes on stilts/pegs due to the marshlands located near the lake. The origin of the name remain unclear as other theories exist. The name "Pegtown" was eventually discarded as Richard Wheatley's son in law, William Buchanan opened a post office (1865) and renamed the town in honor of its first permanent resident.

In 1913, the existing political structure of the village was deemed outdated. As a result, half of the town fell under the jurisdiction of Mersea Township whilst the other fell under Romney Township. A petition was presented to parliament February 19, 1914 and resulted in Wheatley being approved as a village located within Kent County. Twenty-five local residents met at Queen's Park for the final approval. The official birthday of the village is May 1, 1914. In 1999 the Conservative government mandated amalgamation of all Kent County Municipalities with Chatham as a province-wide plan to reduce costs. Thought was given to moving Wheatley to Essex County's jurisdiction but it became part of West Kent's riding along with Tilbury, Romney, Tilbury East, and the village of Merlin. A book about the town, Wheatley's Story, by Rita Lobzun, was published in 1982.

In June, 2021, and again a month later, toxic hydrogen sulfide began leaking from the ground within Wheatley; this led to the installation of gas detectors. On August 26, the detectors sounded in the centre of town; as evacuation was in progress, a gas explosion occurred which destroyed buildings and seriously injured seven people. In November 2022, people and businesses affected by the explosion launched a proposed class action lawsuit against the Corporation of the Municipality of Chatham-Kent and HSE Integrated Ltd., which provided the gas involved in the explosion.

Tourism
Wheatley hosts an annual "Fish Festival" each civic holiday weekend, the first weekend of August. Featured at the festival are the Big Boyz Fishing Derby, Smoked Fish Contest, Famous Yellow Perch and Broasted Chicken Dinner (all you can eat), Two Creeks Concerts, Parades, Wheatley Idol as well as other community events.

The town also celebrates St. John the Baptist celebration in June, as well as outdoor summer concerts located at Two Creeks Conservation Area every Sunday during the summer. Wheatley is located on the flight path for migratory birds and monarch butterflies and attracts birders from around the world annually.

Elementary & sports
Wheatley has an elementary public school, which hosts many different activities and sports. Wheatley has minor and senior soccer, sponsored by many local businesses.

Wheatley is home to a 9-hole golf course, Talbot Trail Golf Club, was originally named Rolling Acres Golf Club at its incorporation in 1964 until the name was changed in 1981.

Wheatley's arena, home to the Sharks hockey team, lies directly behind the public school.

Downtown & around
Wheatley's downtown offers restaurants, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 324, with its collection of militaria, a pharmacy, post office, library and bank. Wheatley's Remembrance Day events take place on the library grounds, as do other ceremonies.

Brandeis brief

The Brandeis brief was a pioneering legal brief that was the first in United States legal history to rely more on a compilation of scientific information and social science literature than on legal citations. It is named after then-litigator and eventual associate Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, who presented it in his argument for the 1908 US Supreme Court case Muller v. Oregon. The brief was submitted in support of a state law restricting the amount of hours women were allowed to work. The Brandeis brief consisted of more than 100 pages, only two of which were devoted to legal argument. The rest of the document contained testimony by medics, social scientists, and male workers arguing that long hours had a negative effect on the "health, safety, morals, and general welfare of women."

Brandeis's sister-in-law, legal reformer Josephine Clara Goldmark of the National Consumers League, helped compile most of the information in the brief. In describing these women's research efforts, Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote the following:

"Josephine Goldmark, aided by her sister Pauline and several other volunteer researchers, scoured the Columbia University and New York Public Libraries in search of materials of the kind Brandeis wanted—facts and figures on dangers to women’s health, safety, and morals from working excessive hours, and on the societal benefits shortened hours could yield. Data was extracted from reports of factory inspectors, physicians, trade unions, economists, and social workers. Within a month, Goldmark’s team compiled information that filled 98 of the 113 pages in Brandeis’ brief."

The Brandeis brief had its faults and its audacity is sometimes overstated. Oregon's attorney general filed a traditional companion brief that cited the needed legal precedents. Some of the scientific evidence detailed in the Brandeis brief was later challenged and refuted. But it still is regarded as a pioneering attempt to combine law and social science. The Brandeis brief changed the direction of the Supreme Court and of U.S. law. It is considered a model for future Supreme Court presentations in cases affecting the health or welfare of classes of individuals. This strategy of combining legal argument with scientific evidence was later successfully used in Brown v. Board of Education to demonstrate the harmful psychological effects of segregated education on African-American children.

Isaac Newton
Good images, meaty, well-referenced. I'm putting it up for FA soon. ANyone here note anything I might have missed? Borisblue 01:35, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The article is not comprehensive. It does not mention Newton's effect on the thinkers who would later usher in The Enlightenment.  This should be included in the section on Newton's legacy.  I'm going to dig around my old papers from uni to see if I've got any usable material to add on that score.  But the article won't be complete without it.   —thames 02:22, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I disagree most emphatically. First, I must say that the article struck me as very well-written, splendidly cross-referenced, and complete. Naturally, one could dig up a 300-page biography from somewhere and cut-and-paste it in, but an encyclopedia is not a library. Secondly, the ""thinkers of the Enlightenment" were a sorry bunch of fairly trivial-minded religious fanatics (believing as they did, to the detriment of any and all other ideas, in the non-existence of God), while Newton was, of course, among other things, a sound thinker and a well-mannered Christian and, occasionally, a sharp dresser.--Impressionist October 6, 2005
 * The point is moot, as I've already added some material on his influence on religious thinkers and enlightenment philosophes. It is appropriate and necessary to discuss the influence of a thinker's ideas, no matter if his or her influence had unintended effects.  Nietzsche's article, for example, would not be complete without a discussion of his legacy amongst the Nazis, even though he was anti-government and not anti-Semetic.  Newton's influence is relevant, pertinent, and necessary for completeness.   —thames 13:56, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * That, I'm afraid, is ... uh ... relative. Kind of. May be a NPOV problem. Nietzsche's influence on the Nazis was, as you yourself mention, minimal. They just talked about him a whole lot. His influence on Jack London was much greater, and in my book, Mr. London is far more important than the Nazis, and who's to say I'm wrong (for, look you, telling me I'm wrong about this WOULD BE, in fact, a NPOV problem). Also, let us not forget that Nietzsche's so-called philosophy was based almost entirely on the Third Act of Wagner's "Ziegfried," and Wagner himself very eloquently objected to Nietzsche's using his, Wagner's, important artistic creation for his own, Nietzsche's, lowly (in Wagner's opinion, which ran contrary to our NPOV rule) purposes. Incidentally, the Nazis are also said to have been "influenced" by Wagner. Yeah, right. In fact, I can see how Brunhilde's philosophy and that of Goebbels are virtually identical. However, if you chose to call those philosophes Newton's ungrateful and despicable parasites and ran for President in the next election, I'd probably vote for you. Not probably: definitely. That's a promise.--Impressionist October 7, 2005
 * I have no idea what you just said.  —thames 15:50, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll make it real simple. Has Newton influenced your outlook in any way? If so, put yourself in the article. As well as everyone on this page, including myself. And anyone who has had sex with a fat person knows that movement, force, and mass are interrelated. Put them in too. Expectantly, Impressionist October 7, 2005
 * That's a strawman argument. Enlightenment philosophers are notable, whereas I'm not.  His influence on them is notable.  His influence on me is not.   —thames 22:19, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Define notable Impressionist October 8, 2005

 * Comments added after PR complete

 * Get a life Impressionist --Kstern999 16:45, August 19, 2006 (UTC)

Cyberspace Electronic Security Act

The Cyberspace Electronic Security Act of 1999 (CESA) is a bill proposed by the Clinton administration during the 106th United States Congress that enables the government to harvest keys used in encryption. The Cyberspace Electronic Security Act gives law enforcement the ability to gain access to encryption keys and cryptography methods. The initial version of this act enabled federal law enforcement agencies to secretly use monitoring, electronic capturing equipment and other technologies to access and obtain information. These provisions were later stricken from the act, although federal law enforcement agencies still have a significant degree of latitude to conduct investigations relating to electronic information. The act generated discussion about what capabilities should be allowed to law enforcement in the detection of criminal activity. After vocal objections from civil liberties groups, the administration backed away from the controversial bill.

Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2006

The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2006 was the fourth edition of the annual Junior Eurovision Song Contest for young singers aged 8 to 15. On 2 December 2006, the contest was broadcast live from Bucharest, Romania making it the second time the contest had been held in a capital city. It was organised by the Romanian national broadcaster, Romanian Television (TVR), in co-operation with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

The show was broadcast live in the competing countries, as well as Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Australian television channel Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) that acquired the rights for broadcasting the show, which was broadcast on 1 January 2007. This was Serbia's first participation in a Eurovision event as an independent nation. The contest was won by The Tolmachevy Twins from with the song "Vesenniy Jazz".

Bidding phase and host selection
On 5 October 2005, it was confirmed that TVR had won the rights of hosting the contest over AVRO of the Netherlands (who would later be announced as the host broadcaster of the next contest). Croatia also expressed an interest in hosting this contest.

Venue
Polyvalent Hall from Bucharest (Sala Polivalentă din București) is a multi-purpose hall in Bucharest, Romania, located in the Tineretului Park. It is used for concerts, indoor sports such as tennis, gymnastics, dance, handball, volleyball, basketball, weightlifting, combat sports and professional wrestling. The hall was opened in 1974 but has since been renovated. It has a maximum seating capacity of 12,000 for concerts and 6,000 for handball.

Participating countries
On 16 May 2006, the EBU released the official list of participants with 15 competing countries. Originally 16 countries had initially signed up for the contest but one unspecified country later dropped out. Portugal, Serbia (for the first time as an independent country after the participation in 2005 contest as part of Serbia and Montenegro) and Ukraine made their debut, while Cyprus returned after a one-year absence.

Two broadcasters withdrew from the contest: Radio télévision belge de la communauté française (RTBF) of the French-speaking Wallonia in Belgium left the contest this year, after co-hosting the previous edition with Flemish broadcaster Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroep (VRT), claimed that continuing with the contest was not in their interests financially. Belgium continued to be represented at the contest by Flemish broadcaster VRT. Subsequently also Sveriges Television (SVT) of Sweden decided to withdraw from the contest for focusing on organisation of the MGP Nordic in Stockholm; the country continued to be represented at the contest by commercial broadcaster TV4.

Prior to the event, a compilation album featuring all the songs from the 2006 contest, along with karaoke versions, was put together by the European Broadcasting Union and released by Universal Music Group in November 2006.

Presenters
The presenters in charge of conducting the event were Andreea Marin and Ioana Ivan, who also appeared in the green room. Marin has been a presenter at the host broadcaster since 1994 and achieved national fame as the host of Surprize, Surprize, the Romanian version of British light entertainment show Surprise Surprise, on TVR1. Marin has twice appeared on the Eurovision Song Contest, reading out the Romanian televote results in and. Ivan is an actress and television personality and the first child presenter of the event.

Contest overview
The event took place on 2 December 2006 at 21:15 EET (20:15 CET). Fifteen countries participated, with the running order published on October 2006. All the countries competing were eligible to vote by televote. Russia won with 154 points, with Belarus, Sweden, Spain, and Serbia, completing the top five. Malta, the Netherlands, Greece, Portugal, and Macedonia occupied the bottom five positions.

The show was opened by various circus style dancers and performers including fifteen children, champions from the Romanian Gymnastics Federation, plus characters from the Bucharest State Circus and an on-stage appearance by Mihai Trăistariu, dressed as Count Dracula and was followed by the traditional flag parade introducing the 15 participating countries. The interval act included a performance by last year's winner Ksenia Sitnik, a "fight" between street dance and traditional Romanian dance in addition to a remix of songs by the last three Romanian participants at the contest.

Other countries
For a country to be eligible for potential participation in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, it needs to be an active member of the EBU. It is currently unknown whether the EBU issue invitations of participation to all 56 active members like they do for the Eurovision Song Contest.

 * – Armenian broadcaster AMPTV were negotiating with the EBU to debut. However, plans never came to fruition and they debuted a year later.
 * – Danish broadcaster DR, along with all Scandinavian broadcasters (NRK and SVT), decided to withdraw from the contest for various reasons, one being that the content put too much pressure on the participating children. Instead they staged a solely Scandinavian contest called MGP Nordic in Stockholm, as they did in 2002.
 * – Latvian broadcaster LTV decided to withdraw from the contest due to financial reasons.
 * – Monégasque broadcaster TMC, who is in charge of the country's participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, had stated an interest to take part in the contest. Monaco did not appear on the list of participants published by the EBU on 16 May 2006.
 * – Following the dissolution of Serbia and Montenegro, which had previously taken part in the 2005 contest, the EBU gave to the Montenegrin broadcaster, Radio Televizija Crne Gore (RTCG), extra time to decide whether or not to participate, but they finally declined the invitation.
 * – Norwegian broadcaster NRK decided to withdraw from the contest for various reasons, one being that focusing on participation in the MGP Nordic.
 * – British broadcaster ITV decided to withdraw from the contest due to low ratings in the last three editions.

International Arctic Science Committee

The International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) is a non-governmental, international scientific organization. IASC was founded in 1990 by representatives of national scientific organizations of the eight Arctic countries - Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia (at that time Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), Sweden and the United States of America. The Founding Articles of IASC were signed in Resolute Bay, Canada.

Over the years, IASC has evolved into the leading international science organisation of the North and its membership today includes 24 countries involved in all aspects of Arctic research, including 15 non-Arctic countries (Austria, Belgium, China, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland and the UK).

Mission
The Founding Articles committed IASC to pursue a mission of encouraging and facilitating cooperation in all aspects of Arctic research, in all countries engaged in Arctic research and in all areas of the Arctic region. Overall, IASC promotes and supports leading-edge interdisciplinary research in order to foster a greater scientific understanding of the Arctic region and its role in the Earth system.

Rather than defining human and environmental boundaries, IASC tries to bridge those boundaries. IASC is also committed to recognizing that Traditional Knowledge, Indigenous Knowledge, and “Western” scientific knowledge are coequal and complementary knowledge systems, all of which can and should inform the work of IASC.

To achieve this mission IASC:

 * Initiates, coordinates and promotes scientific activities at a circumarctic or international level;
 * Provides mechanisms and instruments to support science development;
 * Provides objective and independent scientific advice on issues of science in the Arctic and communicates scientific information to the public;
 * Seeks to ensure that scientific data and information from the Arctic are safeguarded, freely exchangeable and accessible;
 * Promotes international access to all geographic areas and the sharing of knowledge, logistics and other resources;
 * Provides for the freedom and ethical conduct of science;
 * Promotes and involves the next generation of scientists working in the Arctic; and
 * Promotes polar cooperation through interaction with relevant science organizations.

Organization
IASC is governed by a Council, composed of one representative of each of its member countries, which meets annually at the Arctic Science Summit Week. The Council sets priorities and guides the work of the organisation. An Executive Committee, consisting of an elected President, four elected Vice-Presidents and a permanent Executive Secretary operates as a Board of Directors and manages IASC activities between Council meetings. The Secretariat is currently hosted by Rannis (Iceland), and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the organisation. The Secretariat was previously hosted by Germany, Norway and Sweden.

IASC is engaged in all fields of Arctic research and its main scientific working bodies are five Working Groups: Atmosphere, Cryosphere, Marine, Social & Human and Terrestrial. Each Working Group is composed of up to two scientists from each IASC member country, appointed by the national adhering bodies. Though the Working Groups are disciplinary, they also address cross-cutting science questions by initiating activities which involve at least two WGs.

Action Groups are short-term expert groups that provide strategic advice to the IASC Council concerning both long-term activities and urgent needs.

IASC's instruments to support science development include workshops, long-term programs, assessments and science planning activities.

IASC Council
Representatives of national scientific organizations from all IASC member countries form the IASC Council that meets once a year during the Arctic Science Summit Week.

The Council is the policy and decision-making body for IASC. The members ensure an input of a wide range of scientific and technical knowledge and provide access to a large number of scientists and administrators through their national committees.

IASC Working Groups (WGs)
The scientific core elements of IASC are its five Working Groups (WGs). The main function of the WGs is to encourage and support science-led international programs by offering opportunities for planning and coordination, and by facilitating communication and access to facilities. Each WG is composed of up to two scientists from each IASC member country, appointed by the national adhering bodies. The members are experts in their field, with an international reputation, and from different scientific disciplines so that the full range of Arctic research is represented in the WGs.

The Atmosphere Working Group (AWG)
The scientific scope of the Atmosphere Working Group (AWG) includes scientific research towards understanding and prediction of Arctic change, and considering the fate of perennial sea ice and the global atmospheric consequences of its disappearance. This includes past climate states, investigation of Arctic processes across data sets and approaches, and climate model projections. The scope includes local and regional impacts of Arctic change. The geographic scope of the AWG shall be the Arctic but will also include the Arctic´s responses to global change processes (arctic amplification) and impacts of Arctic changes on the northern hemisphere atmospheric circulation.

The Cryosphere Working Group (CWG)
The Cryosphere Working Group (CWG) supports and promotes all scientific or engineering research related to the Arctic and subarctic cryosphere, including glaciers, sea ice, snow, permafrost, seasonally frozen ground, and lake and river ice. It encompasses cryospheric interactions with the atmosphere, ocean, biosphere, and terrestrial systems in the past, present and future, and the cryosphere’s role in climate and human society.

The Marine Working Group (MWG)
The IASC Marine Working Group (MWG) facilitates international coordination of research in the Arctic marine environment and supports cross-cutting objectives. Annual face-to-face meetings and online communication are used throughout the year, including interaction and collaboration with terrestrial, cryospheric, atmospheric, and social scientists as appropriate. An important goal is to support early career scientists and involve them in international research coordinated by IASC member countries, including an expanded role for IASC Fellows in MWG tasks. Starting in 2023, a network of IASC Alumni Fellows will support IASC and Working Group activities and their current Fellows, and maintain an active network of early to mid-career researchers and collaborators (IASC Fox).

The Social and Human Working Group (SHWG)
The scientific scope of the Social and Human Sciences Working Group shall include all aspects of social sciences and humanities research in the Arctic, as well as their connections with other IASC Working Groups. The actual work of the Social & Human Sciences WG is determined by a dynamic list of scientific focus areas.

The geographic scope of the Social and Human Sciences Working Group shall be the Arctic as defined in the map accompanying the Arctic Human Development Report (AHDR). The geographic scope can be extended south where it is appropriate for an understanding of Arctic social and human processes..

The Terrestrial Working Group (TWG)
The scientific scope of the Terrestrial Working Group (TWG) shall include any scientific research on Arctic terrestrial and freshwater environments, landscapes and biota, and their responses to, and interactions with, other components of the Earth system. The remit encompasses the dynamics of the Arctic system; past, present and future.

Geographically, the main area of interest of the IASC Terrestrial Working Group encompasses lands and fresh water within the area north of the latitudinal treeline with Arctic climate and Arctic vegetation. Several adjacent areas are included where highly relevant for certain disciplines and projects (a) boreal oceanic tundra (e.g. the Aleutian Islands, North Atlantic islands), (b) alpine tundra that is continuous with the Arctic tundra (e.g. the central highlands of Iceland, the Scandes Mountains, the Polar Urals), (c) the forest tundra, and (d) drainage basins to the south that connect with freshwater and marine areas of the Arctic..

IASC Action Groups
Actions Groups are established by the IASC Council to provide strategic advice concerning both long-term activities and urgent needs. They are expert groups typically with a one or two year mandate and conclude their task with a report to the Council.

Latest IASC Action Groups (for a full list, please visit IASC Website):

Strategic Plan Action Group (2022 - 2023)
The current IASC Strategic Plan was developed as directed by the IASC Council based upon the key priorities and overarching messages of the 3rd International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP III). This, IASC´s first Strategic Plan, was approved by the IASC Council in June 2018 in Davos Switzerland and is valid from 2018 until 2023. It is based on three scientific ‘pillars’ that provide direction for a necessary progression from knowledge production to exchange, to action.

IASC must develop a new Strategic plan for 2024 onwards. However, in 2025, the 4th International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV) will be held, and its outcomes will influence IASC strategic planning in the future. The IASC Council therefore decided to extend the existing Strategic Plan through 2025 with only an internal update of the existing text during 2022 / 2023. An Action Group has been formed to lead the internal update of the existing IASC Strategic Plan during 2022 / 2023

Action Group on Carbon Footprint (2020 - 2022)
Acknowledging the link between anthropogenic carbon emissions and rapid changes in the Arctic, including the Arctic amplification of climate change, IASC has recently convened an Action Group on Carbon Footprint (AGCF). The remit of the AGCF is to facilitate a full organisational response to the climate crisis and to explore ways to minimise the carbon footprint of IASC-related activities themselves. As an organisation promoting research and transnational access in the Arctic, we have a duty to mitigate the impacts of our activities, as well as to lead the way. The group started its work in early 2021.

Action Group on Indigenous Involvement (2017-2020)
In light of the commitments made through the ICARP process and strategic planning, IASC is moving forward with these goals of better involving Indigenous peoples and incorporating Indigenous/traditional knowledge. Establishing an Action Group on Indigenous Involvement should lead to concrete recommendations to the IASC Council that will help IASC achieve its goals. The AGII report was greatefully received and approved by the IASC Council in March 2020. IASC will proceed with consideration and implementation of the AGII recommendations.

IASC Standing Committees
Standing Committees are long-term bodies created by Council for long-term IASC initiatives working on defined long-term strategic issues that are of relevance and importance for all IASC activities and the organisation as a whole. They assist IASC in the implementation of IASC’s mission. The Standing Committee may also work on own projects and activities within its mandate

Standing Committee on Indigenous Involvement (SCII)
The scope and responisbilities of the Standing Committee on Indigenous Involvement (SCII) is:

 * Provide advice and guidance for the IASC Executive Committee and Council regarding Indigenous Peoples meaningful involvement in IASC activities during the planning and implementation of IASC strategic planning (e.g. ICARP processes).
 * Ensure interaction and explore opportunities with the IASC Working Groups on a positive mutual basis to develop joint projects and to promote meaningful Indigenous involvement and leadership in IASC WG projects and activities.
 * Build on the recommendations of the past AGII by developing concepts and proposals for the implementation of the recommendations from or in the spirit of the AGII report.
 * Evaluate the progress of the implementation of the IASC actions regarding meaningful Indigenous involvement.
 * Create opportunities for interaction with relevant international, regional and national Arctic Indigenous organizations;
 * Initiate listening sessions, talking circles, workshops, conferences and educational events

Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW)
The Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) is organised annually by the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) to provide opportunities for coordination, cooperation and collaboration between the various scientific organisations involved in Arctic research. It was initiated by the IASC in 1999 and has evolved into the most important annual gathering of the Arctic research organisation.

In odd number years, the ASSW also includes a Science Symposium. These symposia create a platform for exchanging knowledge, cross fertilisation and collaboration and attract scientists, students, policy makers and other professionals from all over the world.

In even number years the ASSW includes the Arctic Observing Summit (AOS), a high-level, biennial summit that aims to provide community-driven, science-based guidance for the design, implementation, coordination and long-term operation of Arctic observing systems.

Fourth International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV)
In the lead up to its 35th anniversary in 2025, the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) in cooperation with many partner worldwide is coordinating a multi-year planning process for the Fourth International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV) lasting from 2022 until 2026 that engages Arctic researchers, Indigenous Peoples, policy makers, residents and stakeholders from around the world to collegially discuss the state of Arctic science, the place the Arctic occupies in global affairs and systems. ICARP IV:

 * considers the most urgent knowledge gaps and Arctic research priorities and needs for the next decade, and
 * explores avenues to address these research needs.

The scientific focus of ICARP IV will be on important research questions that cut across many disciplines and knowledge systems, and that require new and innovative thinking and collaboration. ICARP IV will develop a vision for implementation and science plans for addressing these priorities.

An integral aspect of the ICARP IV will be the inclusion of early career scientists, Indigenous Peoples, and local residents in the development of priorities and science plans to address the key questions. IASC is committed to recognizing that Traditional Knowledge, Indigenous Knowledge and academic scientific knowledge are coequal and complementary knowledge systems that all can and should inform the work of IASC and ICARP IV.

Research efforts should provide improved understanding and predictive capabilities for the evolution of Arctic systems.

Consideration will be given to providing relevant and useful information that peoples in the Arctic and those in more temperate regions need to have in order to adapt and prepare for the changing Arctic and its impact on global systems

IASC Medal
The medals are awarded "in recognition of exceptional and sustained contributions to understanding of the Arctic". The first medal was awarded in 2010. Information on the IASC Medal recipients from the IASC website unless otherwise noted.

IASC Fellowship Program
The IASC Fellowship Program was established in 2014 and is meant to engage early career researchers in the work of the IASC Working Groups (WGs): Atmosphere, Cryosphere, Marine, Social & Human, and Terrestrial. Each year, one Fellow per WG is chosen. In addition, since 2020, at least one early career Arctic Indigenous Scholar or Knowledge Holder is selected per year, who can choose which IASC WG to engage in

IASC Fellows are doctoral or postdoctoral researchers who actively participate in selected activities of the IASC WGs. Fellows are expected to contribute scientifically but also to help organize specific activities and to coordinate the reporting to the IASC Secretariat. Thus, the Fellowship Program provides the opportunity for ECSs to become involved in leading-edge scientific activities at a circumarctic and international level, to build an international network, and also to develop management skills. The level of involvement very much depends on the Fellow's interest - the more you invest, the more you get out of it!

The total duration of the IASC Fellowship Program is 1+2 years. In their first year, selected Fellows will receive travel support to attend two consecutive Arctic Science Summit Weeks (ASSWs) where the annual WG meetings are held. After the first year, Fellows have the opportunity to stay involved for up to 2 more years without dedicated funding support from IASC. Note: The travel support during the first fellowship year is the only financial remuneration for the Fellows. Salary is not included during the fellowship.

This article was previously listed on WP:AFD, with a consensus to keep. --Phroziac(talk) 01:39, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Sarah McLachlan
According to this (http://www.filter-mag.com/artists/interior.119.html), it is not Sarah McLachlan, but the lead singer's vocal teacher Sarah Isaksson. However, I have seen Sarah McLachlan in concert with the Perishers as the opening act. When they played this song, she performed with them, but it is definitely not her on the CD.

The single released under the Nettwerk label was live, featuring Sarah McLachlan and not the album version, which features the lead singer's vocal teacher. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geckoman (talk • contribs) 00:03, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Schweizer S300

The Schweizer S300 series (formerly Hughes 300, Schweizer 300, and Sikorsky S-300) family of light utility helicopters was originally produced by Hughes Helicopters, as a development of the Hughes 269. Later manufactured by Schweizer Aircraft, and currently produced by Schweizer RSG, the basic design has been in production for over 50 years. The single, three-bladed main rotor and piston-powered S300 is mostly used as a cost-effective platform for training and agriculture.

Background
In 1955, Hughes Tool Company's Aircraft Division (later Hughes Helicopters) carried out a market survey showing that there was a demand for a low-cost, lightweight, two-seat helicopter. The division began building the Model 269 in September 1955. The prototype flew on 2 October 1956, but it was not until 1960 that the decision was made to develop the helicopter for production.

On 9 April 1959, the 269 received certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Hughes continued to concentrate on civil production. With some design changes, deliveries of the Model 269A version began in 1961. By mid-1963 about 20 aircraft were being produced per month, and by the spring of 1964 314 had been built. Hughes had successfully captured a large portion of the civilian helicopter market with an aircraft that would prove popular in agriculture, police work and other duties.

Model 300

In 1964, Hughes introduced the slightly larger three-seat Model 269B which it marketed as the Hughes 300. That same year, the Hughes 269 set an endurance record of 101 hours. To set the record, two pilots took turns piloting the aircraft and hovered in ground-effect for fueling. To ensure no cheating, eggs were attached to the bottom of the skid gear to register any record-ending landing.

The Hughes 300 was followed in 1969 by the improved Hughes 300C (sometimes Hughes 269C), which first flew on 6 March 1969 and received FAA certification in May 1970. This new model introduced a more powerful 190 hp (140 kW) Lycoming HIO-360-D1A engine and increased rotor diameter, giving a payload increase of 45%, plus overall performance improvements. It was this model that Schweizer began building under license from Hughes in 1983.

In 1986, Schweizer acquired all rights to the helicopter from McDonnell Douglas, which had purchased Hughes Helicopters in 1984. After Schweizer acquired the FAA Type Certificate, the helicopter was known for a short time as the Schweizer-Hughes 300C and then simply, the Schweizer 300C. The basic design remained unchanged over the years, despite Schweizer making over 250 minor improvements.

Schweizer was purchased on August 26, 2004, by Sikorsky Aircraft. The Schweizer 300 models fill a gap in the Sikorsky helicopter line, which is known for its medium and heavy utility and cargo helicopters.

In February 2009, the 300C was rebranded as the Sikorsky S-300C.

In 2018 the type certificate for the 269/300 product line was sold by Sikorsky to Schweizer RSG in Fort Worth Texas. The new company, affiliated with Rotorcraft Services Group, will support the existing fleet and will start to build new aircraft at Meacham Airport in Fort Worth, Texas. The management team includes industry and product veterans such as David Horton and Mike Iven.

Derivatives
Between Hughes and Schweizer, and including foreign-licensed production civil and military training aircraft, nearly 3,000 units of the Model 269/300 have been built and flown over the last 50 years. Schweizer continued to develop the Model 300 by adding a turbine and redesigning the body to create the Schweizer 330. Further developing the dynamic components to take greater advantage of the power of the turbine engine led to the development of the Schweizer S-333.

In recent years the cockpit received an upgrade when an STC was developed for the installation of the Garmin G500H helicopter dual-screen electronic flight display, as well as the Mid-Continent MD302 Standby Attitude Indicator.

Design
The Hughes 269 was created with a fully articulated three-bladed main rotor wherein the blades advance to the right and a two-bladed tail rotor that would remain as distinctive characteristics of all its variants. It also has shock absorber-damped, skid-type landing gear. The flight controls are directly linked to the control surfaces of the helicopter so there are no hydraulics in the 269. There are generally two sets of controls, although this was optional on the civil 269A. For three-seat aircraft, the middle collective control stick is removable and a seat cushion can be put in its place for the third passenger. In the 300CB and 300CBi, the collective control can be repositioned to left-handed configuration for the Pilot In Command position (right seat).

Variants

 * 269C "Model 300C" :The 300C is powered by a 190 hp (141 kW) Lycoming HIO-360-D1A and has a larger diameter main rotor (26 ft 10 in compared to 25 ft 4 in). The larger rotor and engine gives it a 45% performance increase over previous 269-series models. Hughes and Schweizer both marketed the 269C as the Model 300C.
 * 300CQ :The Sky Knight is a purpose-built 300C for urban police helicopter patrols with a muffler and other noise attenuating materials and design changes to reduce the helicopter's noise signature by 75%.
 * 300CB :The 300CB is the first pure production of the 300 by Schweizer and is powered by a Textron Lycoming HO-360-C1A, 180 hp engine. The 300CB first flew on 28 May 1993, and was certified by the FAA in August 1995. The 300CB can be reconfigured from a two-seat cockpit to a three-seat configuration. While it is still suited for utility and special missions, this aircraft was designed for helicopter training.
 * 300CBi :A fuel injected version of the 300CB that alleviates carburetor icing concerns in colder temperatures. The 300CBi also includes overspeed protection and automatic rotor engagement during startup, as well as a low rotor RPM warning system.

Accidents and incidents

 * 8 September 2017: A Schweizer 269C, aircraft registration number N204HF, serial number 0109, crashed during a sightseeing flight at Flying W Airport in Medford, New Jersey, United States, killing the pilot along with guitarist and singer Troy Gentry of the popular American country music band Montgomery Gentry, who were scheduled to perform at a resort at the airport later that day. The crash was attributed to the pilot's loss of control during a power-off autorotation landing attempt; a contributing factor was failure of the throttle control tie-rod assembly caused by improper replacement of the throttle cable.

Ladon (mythology)

Ladon (Ancient Greek: Λάδων; gen.: Λάδωνος Ladonos) was a dragon in Greek mythology, who guarded the golden apples in the Garden of the Hesperides.

Family
According to Hesiod's Theogony, Ladon was the last of the progeny of Phorcys and Ceto. A scholion on Apollonius of Rhodes' Argonautica, however, cites Hesiod as calling him the son of Typhon, and the same scholion on Apollonius of Rhodes claims that one "Peisandros" called Ladon born of the earth. The mythographer Apollodorus calls Ladon the offspring of the monstrous Typhon and Echidna, a parentage repeated by Hyginus and Pherecydes; similarly, Ladon is called the son of Typhon in Tzetzes' Chiliades.

According to Ptolemy Hephaestion's New History, as recorded by Photius in his Bibliotheca, Ladon was the brother of the Nemean lion.

Mythology
Ladon was the serpent-like dragon that twined and twisted around the tree in the Garden of the Hesperides and guarded the golden apples. In pursuance of his eleventh labour, Heracles killed Ladon with a bow and arrow and carried the apples away. The following day, Jason and the Argonauts passed by on their chthonic return journey from Colchis, hearing the lament of "shining" Aegle, one of the four Hesperides, and viewing the still-twitching Ladon. In an alternate version of the myth, Ladon is never slain, and Heracles instead gets the Titan god Atlas to retrieve the apples. At the same time, Heracles takes Atlas’ place, holding up the sky.

The dragon (Ladon) image coiled around the tree, originally adopted by the Hellenes from Near Eastern and Minoan sources, is familiar from surviving Greek vase-painting. In the 2nd century CE, Pausanias saw among the treasuries at Olympia an archaic cult image in cedar-wood of Heracles and the apple-tree of the Hesperides with the snake coiled around it.

Diodorus Siculus gives an euhemerist interpretation of Ladon, as a human shepherd guarding a flock of golden-fleeced sheep, adding, "But with regards to such matters it will be every man's privilege to form such opinions as accord with his own belief."

According to the Astronomy attributed to Hyginus, Ladon is the constellation Draco which was placed among the stars by Zeus. Ladon is the Greek version of the West Semitic serpent Lotan, or the Hurrian serpent Illuyanka. He might be given multiple heads, a hundred in Aristophanes' The Frogs (a passing remark in line 475), which might speak with different voices.

Talk:Lindy Layton

== Thankfully a Lindy Layton page exists at all! I just wanted to inject speculation I heard following the release of Wont talk about it (single version) that Lindy and Norman were no more because Lindy died of cancer! Clearly I hope this isnt the case, but I wanted to add.... I mean, this is what I heard in the United States as a result of a one-off record, re-recorded for single release, explaining why we never heard from her again ... Although from reading other articles here I guess not!

 * No, Lindy Layton is alive and well - don't worry !
