Nyoko Anomie

Nyokois a heart-warming character. Nyoko is an anime RP (Role Play) character, I am already writing books on Nyoko and plan to publish them in the later future. Nyoko is a 14yr old girl, half human and half cat (for specific breed it is a Himalayan. With her bottled Fire Faerie, Yumi, Nyoko is able to explore the land of Chubawii with her trusty sword in which she has named the Muftiga!

In the past writings of mine, Nyoko has fought to save her friends from the Star of Death with a special Dark Orb, blessed to one child every century, when a new star is ready to come out. Nyoko has gone on many demon hunts and sat in a very detailed chair by the window to rest, yes it took me a while to wrap up my lovely thoughts of this Mahogony chair.

My current book I am writing about dear Nyoko explains about her meeting a Llama in the frosty snow in the banks of Chubawii. Bless her heart, for she is lost at Christmas Eve (see other articles on Christmas).

With all due respect,

Sunshine Coast Airport

Sunshine Coast Airport (formerly Maroochydore Airport) is an Australian international airport located in Marcoola, 10 km north of Maroochydore, at the northern end of the Sunshine Coast. It is approximately 90 km north of centre of Brisbane, within the South East Queensland agglomeration. The airport is owned by Sunshine Coast Regional Council and is the principal and only jet-capable airport serving an urban area of nearly 400,000 residents.

The airport serves as a gateway to holiday destinations such as Noosa Heads, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, and Caloundra. There are direct flights to Adelaide, Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney and regional destinations throughout Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. In addition, Air New Zealand provide international service, with three weekly return flights to Auckland. The airport also supports a variety of tourism, flight training and general aviation activities.

Sunshine Coast Airport was the 12th busiest airport in Australia and fifth busiest in Queensland during the 2012–22 financial year, handling 816,873 passengers. Like most Australian airports, MCY was impacted by travel restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that saw passenger numbers decline from a peak of 1,257,561 in 2018–19.

History
The Queensland Government granted a parcel of land to the Maroochy Shire Council in 1958 for use as a general aviation airstrip. The first test landing on a grass strip was on 16 August 1959. The airstrip was initially used by the Maroochy Aero Club and Queensland Parachute Club. Maroochy Shire Council funded the construction of a 4500 ft sealed runway, suitable for Fokker F27 Friendship aircraft, which opened on 12 August 1961. With the commencement of regular public transport services, the airstrip was renamed Maroochydore Airport. Lights for night landings were provided in 1974.

A terminal building was constructed in 1979. The runway was extended to 1797 m in 1983 to allow the operation of Fokker F28 Fellowship and BAe 146 regional jets. The runway was upgraded again in 1993 to allow the operation of larger Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 jets. A new terminal building was completed in 1997 and the airport was renamed Maroochydore-Sunshine Coast Airport.

By 2009, the airport handled 916,845 annual passengers, making it the 15th busiest airport in Australia. On 3 June 2010, the airport changed its name from "Maroochydore-Sunshine Coast Airport" to "Sunshine Coast Airport" and changed its ICAO code from YBMC to YBSU. The airport handled approximately 87,000 aircraft movements in 2012 and was nearing or exceeding its capacity of 900,000 annual passengers in consecutive years.

International flights and growth
In February 2012, Air New Zealand announced plans to launch a new twice-weekly service between Auckland and Sunshine Coast Airport, to operate seasonally from July to September, the first time scheduled International flights had operated from Sunshine Coast Airport. Customs, immigration and quarantine facilities were added to the terminal ahead of the first flight. On 12 November, Air New Zealand announced that the season would be extended in 2013, with flights operating from June to October. Air New Zealand later committed to operating the services until at least 2017.

2016 saw domestic airlines Jetstar, QantasLink and Virgin Australia significantly increase their capacity through Sunshine Coast Airport, adding more than 65,000 extra seats. 24,200 more seats were added between Sydney and Sunshine Coast, 16,920 extra on the Melbourne to Sunshine Coast route, while Jetstar introduced direct flights to Adelaide, providing 23,400 seats on the new route. A total of 244,708 passengers arrived or departed from Sunshine Coast Airport during the summer season from December 2015 and February 2016.

On 9 February 2017, Sunshine Coast Regional Council mayor Mark Jamieson announced that Palisade Investment Partners had been awarded a 99-year lease to operate the airport, with the lease running until 2116.

Expansion and reconfiguration
To address capacity issues at the airport, John Holland Group were contracted to undertake a major upgrade and expansion project in 2018. As part of the construction, the existing 1797 m runway 18/36, which handled all commercial jet traffic was decommissioned and converted to a taxiway. Its replacement was a new 2450 m NW-SE runway (Runway 13/31). To allow for this, the 650 m general aviation runway (12/30) was also removed. The scope of these works were controversial amongst airport tenants and communities that would be overflown by the new flight paths, becoming the subject of numerous legal challenges.

A series of environmental considerations were given to the expansion, including the Coordinator-General's recommendation to ensure the requirements for tidal flap to allow conveyance of floodwater and avoid submergence of mangrove roots for extended periods. Other requirement such as offsetting to provide additional critical habitat for vulnerable flora and fauna including revegetation of sections to provide adequate and alternate suitable wildlife corridors for species.

On 14 June 2020, the new runway (13/31) was opened, allowing operation of larger wide body aircraft such as Airbus A330 and Boeing 777, Boeing 787 with longer range capable of direct flights to Southeast Asia, China and Hawaii, with minimal impact on nearby residents. Use of wide body aircraft such as Airbus A330 and Boeing 777, Boeing 787 would allow for direct flights to Southeast Asia, China and Hawaii, This upgrade also allowed for more domestic flights, typically using Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 airliners, to operate with greater payloads.

During 2019, Air New Zealand had already extended seasonal flights to Auckland from 2020 through to 2023 with the backing of the Queensland Government, operating from April to October Following completion of the airport's expansion, on 25 June 2021 a further agreement was announced that secured year-round flights on the route.

In February 2022, low-cost carrier Bonza announced that the airport would become its headquarters and one of two main bases for its planned start-up operation.

Terminal and facilities
The airport has a single terminal, which can be split into separate international and domestic areas to accommodate Air New Zealand's Auckland flights. The single-storey building has no aerobridges; passengers must take a short walk across the tarmac to reach their aircraft.

There are no airline lounges within the terminal, however the public departure lounge provides seating available for about 300 people. Free WiFi is available throughout the building and there are several food and shopping outlets. Each of the six airlines operating have dedicated check-in desks and gates. There are four baggage carousels, TV monitors, a taxi rank, shuttle bus services and hire-car desks.

Ground transport
The airport is served by local taxi service Suncoast Cabs and by Sunbus Sunshine Coast's route 622 from Sunshine Plaza to Noosa Junction.

Airport shuttle services are run by several companies offering transfer to Sunshine Coast hotels and private residences. They connect to all suburbs south of the Sunshine Coast Airport including Twin Waters, Maroochydore, Alexandra Headland, Mooloolaba, Kawana Waters, Buderim, Caloundra, Golden Beach and Pelican Waters.

Late Show Top Ten List

The Top Ten List was a regular segment of the television programs Late Night with David Letterman and the Late Show with David Letterman. Each night, host David Letterman would present a list of ten items, compiled by his writing staff, that circulated around a common theme.

The lists were usually given humorous topics such as Top Ten Signs Your Kid Had A Bad First Day At School or Top Ten Rejected James Bond Gadgets. Some were based on current events. Many guests like Adam Sandler or Bill Murray would come into the show to fulfill the answers. Letterman would also occasionally give an intentionally absurd and mundane category, such as Top Ten Numbers Between One and Ten, drawing humor from the silliness of ranking such mundane items.

Origin
Letterman's top ten skit was thought of when Steve O'Donnell was head writer of the Late Night with David Letterman show. According to O'Donnell, the Top Ten List was an "almost simultaneous inspiration arriving from staffers Jim Downey, Randy Cohen and Robert "Morty" Morton — largely prompted by the ridiculous 'eligible bachelor' lists in a local New York paper that included the 84-year-old Bill Paley. 'Why, we can put such nonsense together ourselves!' we exclaimed. And we did."

On September 18, 1985, the very first list, "The Top Ten Words That Almost Rhyme With 'Peas was broadcast.

The switch from NBC to CBS
Before Letterman's departure for CBS, NBC had insisted that the "Top Ten List" was the intellectual property of the network and demanded that it not be used on his new show; Letterman rebutted that the list was not NBC's property or even his own, since he had stolen the concept from elsewhere. A loose compromise was reached where it would be renamed the "Late Show Top Ten," although Letterman would soon simply refer to it once again as the "Top Ten List", with no repercussions.

The only significant modifications in the Late Show years were the elimination of mentioning a "home office" (such as Wahoo, Nebraska), and the addition of a computer-animated introduction and closing as well as background graphics.

Presentation
The entries are read by Letterman in reverse countdown order, and are accompanied by a drum roll performed by CBS Orchestra drummer Anton Fig. There are six montages: the pyramids, the athletes (usually used for a sports-themed top ten list), the taxi cabs, the water towers, the sewer covers, and, in time for the 2012 presidential campaign, the campaign trail. The conclusion of the list is then followed by a brief performance by the band, usually a pop song relating to the topic of the list in some way.

Occasionally, the list is given by a guest presenter (such as John Malkovich reading "Ten Things That Sound Creepy When Said by John Malkovich" or Casey Kasem reading the recurring category "Top Ten Numbers Between One and Ten", or Dale Earnhardt "Top Ten Reasons It Took Me 20 Years To Win The Daytona 500"). At times, the list has also been given by a series of presenters, with each providing one entry; for example, the list for "Ten Things I've Always Wanted to Say to Dave", was used for Letterman's final show in 2015 and included entries from Alec Baldwin, Barbara Walters, Steve Martin, Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, Chris Rock, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Peyton Manning, Tina Fey and Bill Murray.

Four animated characters have recited a Top Ten list on the show: Homer Simpson (4 times), Peter Griffin, Stewie Griffin and Optimus Prime.

Perhaps to break the monotony of a daily list, the show will occasionally add a twist to the presentation, sometimes by altering the nature of the list itself. One notable example occurred on November 27, 2001. Introduced as "Top Ten Ways Osama bin Laden Can Improve His Image," the list consisted of only one entry: "#10. There's no way he can improve his image. He's a murdering, soul-less asshole."

A common source of confusion regarding the Top Ten List is why the #1 entry is usually seen as the least funny. This even inspired the Late Show to run a pre-taped bit in 1998, humorously exploring the apparent mystery, and to mention it again on December 29, 1999, when the list "Top Ten Phrases That Were Not Spoken This Millennium," included the #1 entry of, "Why is the number one always so damn funny?" Writer Bill Scheft confirmed this in a 2007 interview on Costas on the Radio, stating that the writers use the three funniest entries on #10 (to start the list strong), #6, (which usually accompanies an on-screen slide change), and #2 (the last opportunity for a laugh before the completion of the bit).

Home offices
Cities that were the supposed source of the Top 10 lists: Other home offices:
 * Milwaukee, Wisconsin (The first Late Night with David Letterman home office)
 * Scottsdale, Arizona (–1990)
 * Lebanon, Pennsylvania (1990–1992)
 * Tahlequah, Oklahoma (1992–)
 * Oneonta, New York (May 7, 1993–June 25, 1993; The last office from the Late Night with David Letterman show)
 * Sioux City, Iowa (August 30, 1993–June 9, 1995; Was a home office primarily to make fun of its CBS television station KMEG, who refused to air Late Show with David Letterman for months after it debuted in 1993.)
 * Grand Rapids, Michigan (June 12, 1995–May 2, 1996)
 * Wahoo, Nebraska (May 3, 1996–late 1990s) Wahoo became a home office after the town lobbied Letterman for the status for months after Letterman mentioned that he liked the word "Wahoo"; it would remain the home office until Letterman phased out the "home office" concept in the late 1990s.
 * Kankakee, Illinois (Used during David Letterman's Chicago shows in 1994)
 * Liverpool, England (Used during David Letterman's London shows in 1995)
 * Daly City, California (Used during David Letterman's San Francisco shows in 1996)
 * Lincoln, Nebraska
 * Omaha, Nebraska
 * Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Books
David Letterman and the Late Show writers have released four volumes of Top Ten Lists through CBS book publisher, Pocket Books. The first two volumes were originally released in hardcover and later mass-market paperback editions while the latter two editions only had hardcover releases.
 * The "Late Night with David Letterman" Book of Top Ten Lists (1990).
 * Roman Numeral Two!! An Altogether New Book of Top Ten Lists from "Late Night with David Letterman" (1991).
 * David Letterman's Book of Top Ten Lists and Zesty Lo-Cal Chicken Recipes. (1995).
 * David Letterman's NEW Book of Top Ten Lists and Wedding Patterns for the Husky Bride (1996).

Radio usage
For nearly two decades each Top Ten list was packaged into a nationally syndicated radio feature, distributed by Westwood One for use the following morning. Following shows from which the list was omitted, or if Letterman was on vacation, the feature would utilize a list from the archives. The feature was often edited for time, and occasionally edited for content which may have been appropriate for late-night TV, but not morning radio.

In late 2013 Westwood One informed "Top 10" affiliates that it was ceasing distribution of the feature. The last Top 10 list for radio aired Friday, January 3, 2014. No other radio network picked up the feature for the rest of the TV show's run.

Allusions
Letterman's presentation of the 67th Academy Awards in 1995 included the "Top Ten Signs the Movie You're Watching Will Not Win an Academy Award."

The television cartoon Garfield & Friends referenced the feature with an episode entitled Top Ten, where Garfield presents Top Ten lists on various topics ranging from "How to Tell When Garfield is Full," and "Why Jon Arbuckle Will Never Have a Date," to "Why the House will Never Get Robbed." The Buddy Bears provide the accompanying music.

Army aviation

An army aviation unit is an aviation-related unit of a nation's army, sometimes described as an air corps. These units are generally separate from a nation's dedicated air force, and usually comprise helicopters and light support fixed-wing aircraft. Prior to the establishment of separate national air forces, many armies had military aviation units, which as the importance of aviation increased, were spun off into independent services. As the separation between a nation's army and air force led to a divergence of priorities, many armies sought to re-establish their own aviation branches to best serve their own organic tactical needs.

History
Military aviation first began as either army or naval aviation units established as force multipliers to allow armies and navies to better do what they were already doing, this taking mostly the form of reconnaissance and artillery spotting, this led to the first fighter aircraft whose purpose was to shoot down enemy reconnaissance and artillery spotting aircraft, and to protect one's own aircraft from being shot down. At this point the purpose of aircraft was still to act as an adjunct to traditional armies and fleets operating in the traditional way. However, as aircraft became more technologically sophisticated military theorists of the interwar period began to think of airpower as a means in and of itself where the critical blow could be delivered by strategic bombing, and the experience of World War II confirmed this. Post World War II air forces such as the Royal Air Force and the newly established United States Air Force concentrated on building strategic bomber forces for attack and fighter forces to defend against enemy bombers. Air forces still incorporated a significant amount of tactical missions through air interdiction and close air support missions.

In order to acquire a close air support capability armies sought to expand, establish or re-establish their own tactical aviation branches, which are usually composed of helicopters, rather than fixed-wing aircraft.

With the development of unmanned aerial vehicles some armies have begun to use small battlefield UAVs, not attached to army aviation units, but rather directly attached to artillery battalions as spotters, and with the smallest and lightest drones being deployed by individual infantry platoons to provide real time local reconnaissance.

Tasks

The tasks of each army's aviation units are defined slightly different, depending on country. Some general characteristics include:

 * Tactical offensive action (anti-tank warfare, air assault, and close air support)
 * ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target acquisition, Reconnaissance)
 * Logistic and battlefield support
 * Tactical transport both internally and externally, of personnel and material
 * Search and rescue
 * Medical evacuation
 * Liaison
 * Disaster relief

Equipment

In order to fulfill their manifold tasks, army aviation mostly uses helicopters. These helicopters can be classified into the following categories:

 * Attack helicopters for close air support of ground troops and anti-tank role
 * Transport helicopters
 * Observation helicopters
 * Utility helicopters
 * Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR), Casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) / Medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) helicopters
 * Training helicopters

In addition to helicopters, some armies also operate fixed-wing aircraft for tactical reconnaissance.

Greg Cattrano

Greg "The Cat" Cattrano (born August 6, 1975) is a retired lacrosse goaltender, who is recognized as one of the most successful and accomplished goaltenders in the history of the sport.

High school career
Cattrano played for Ward Melville High School where he was an All-American in his senior season. His 1992 team won the New York State Lacrosse Championship. In 1993 he was awarded the Lt. Ray Enners Award as Suffolk County's outstanding lacrosse player.

Collegiate career
Cattrano attended Brown University. In 1997, his senior year, he was named NCAA Goalie of the Year, All-Ivy League, All-New England, and Brown Bears Team MVP. In addition he was named All-American twice. Cattrano finished his collegiate career with an amazing 68% save percentage, and his three goals still stand as the NCAA record for offensive production by a goaltender in NCAA sports.

NLL career
Cattrano played three seasons indoors for the New York Saints of the National Lacrosse League (1998–2000), posting a 13.68 goals against average in seven career games.

MLL career
Cattrano played in all five of the league's first Championship Games from 2001 to 2005, winning the Steinfeld Cup in 2002 and 2004. His leadership skills helped guide the Barrage from a 1-11 record in 2003, to champions in 2004. Cattrano has won the Major League Lacrosse Goaltender of the Year Award three times, and was named Major League Lacrosse MVP in 2002. Cattrano was also voted to the Inaugural All-MLL Team, and started in multiple Major League Lacrosse All-Star Game. Though his career, Cattrano was extremely durable. In 2004, he was the only goalie in the MLL to play every minute of every game.

Cattrano is the league's goalie leader in wins, boasting an incredible 40-19 record, including playoff games. He has saved 58% of the 1,611 shots he has faced in his career, and has a league-best 13.4 goals against average.

In 2004, Cattrano became the first goalkeeper to score in an MLL game, tallying his first professional goal against the Rochester Rattlers in a 19-15 win at Villanova Stadium. Cattrano also achieved the feat four times in his college career at Brown University, twice playing for NYAC club lacrosse, and six times in high school.

Cattrano originally played for the Baltimore Bayhawks for first three years of the league's existence, before being traded to the Philadelphia Barrage for the first overall pick in the 2004 Collegiate Draft (Baltimore selected Michael Powell). The Long Island Lizards acquired Cattrano, March 29, 2005, sending Philadelphia native Brian Dougherty to the Barrage in an exchange of the top two goaltenders in the league.

Cattrano retired after the 2006 season, and his number "2" was retired by the Long Island Lizards in the 2007.

Prior to the MLL forming, Cattrano played club lacrosse for NYAC and represented Team USA in the 1999 World Lacrosse Championship.

Heron Road Workers Memorial Bridge

The Heron Road Workers Memorial Bridge (formerly the Heron Road Bridge) is a bridge in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It connects Baseline Road to Heron Road and allows east–west traffic to cross both the Rideau River and the Rideau Canal just south of Carleton University. The current bridge was finished in 1967, one year after a bridge collapse killed nine workers and injured over sixty others in the worst construction accident in both Ottawa and Ontario history. It was renamed in 2016 to commemorate the victims of that accident.

Planning and early construction
Ottawa Mayor Charlotte Whitton initially opposed the plans of Prime Minister John Diefenbaker to build the bridge to ease east–west traffic in the city. In 1961, Diefenbaker's government threatened to reduce the amount of federal grants to Ottawa by the cost of the bridge if the city did not agree to build it. After further negotiations, an agreement on building the bridge was signed by the municipal, provincial, and federal governments in 1964.

The original construction plan included two three-lane, 300 metre bridges, one eastbound and one westbound, and was budgeted at two and a half million dollars. The bridge was slightly north of Hog's Back Falls and was to connect Baseline Road and Heron Road over the Rideau River and the Rideau Canal for both motorists and pedestrians.

The City of Ottawa awarded the contract to build the footings of the concrete piers supporting the bridge to Beaver Construction in February 1965. This work was completed by June 1965. The final plan for the project still had two three-lane bridges, but the prestressed concrete bridges would only be 877.5 feet long. In August 1965, the city awarded the bridge construction contract to O.J. Gaffney Ltd and hired M.M. Dillon & Company Ltd as consulting engineers for designing and supervising the project.

Each bridge had four spans, for which the concrete was poured in two layers. Work started in fall 1965 on the western spans, which were mostly finished by August 1966. Meanwhile, wooden falsework was used to support the less complete eastern spans still being built. The first concrete layer for the third of both bridges' four spans had been poured back in July 1966 without issue.

August 10, 1966 collapse
On August 10, 1966, a shift of about sixty to seventy workers were almost finished pouring 2000 ST of concrete on the eastern side of the partially completed third span of the southern bridge when it collapsed at 3:27 p.m. According to an eyewitness account from a M.M. Dillon manager, the crew had been pouring concrete eastwards from the centre of the span when the western end of the span was flipped upwards and onto the rest of the bridge, bringing it down.

The wooden falsework on the bridge failed and workers on the bridge fell between fifteen and twenty metres to the ground, while rebars, cement, wood, concrete, and other building materials fell on them. The collapse created a loud impact noise and a cloud of dust. It also triggered the nearby Dominion Observatory's seismometer, which prompted officials to issue a statement that the collapse had not been caused by an earthquake. Many workers panicked and ran or swam away from the site right after the collapse, while others ran to the site to help the victims. People picnicking in nearby Vincent Massey Park arrived on the scene to help shortly before emergency services did. Ottawa mayor Don Reid also came to the scene and joined in the rescue efforts with a pair of bolt cutters.

Most of the injured were taken to the Civic Hospital, which was in the middle of switching from day to night shifts, allowing many medical staff to stay and deal with the influx of patients or to travel to the site to provide aid such as administering morphine to trapped workers. The high number of patients forced the hospital to cancel all elective procedures and relocate patients in wings adjacent to the emergency room so the injured construction workers could be kept together. Because many of the injured were recently arrived Europeans who were not fluent in English, were not carrying their identification at the time of the accident, and were covered in concrete, many blood transfusions were done without having a patient name, contrary to standard operating procedure.

Over one third of the 183 workers were treated at the Civic Hospital, while the Ottawa General Hospital and the National Defence Medical Centre received just two patients each. The surgeon of the General Hospital criticized the focus on sending patients to the overwhelmed, but nearby Civic Hospital, when his hospital only received their first patient at 4:30 p.m. despite having its staff on standby in anticipation of a patient influx.

Rescue efforts ended at 3:30 a.m. when it became too dark to continue using the required machinery. Nine men died as a result of the collapse: seven were killed on site, one died at the Civic Hospital, and another died from his injuries in September. Over sixty workers were injured, mostly from the falling wet cement that had just been poured on the bridge when it collapsed. Among the dead were Leonard Baird, the project's resident engineer, and Clarence Beattie, the site foreman; the other seven workers who died were Jean Paul Guerin, Omer Lamadeleine, Edmund Newton, Lucien Regimbald, Dominic Romano, Raymond Tremblay, and Joao Viegas. The accident remains the deadliest construction accident in both Ottawa and Ontario history.

Inquest and aftermath
An inquest into the collapse was completed in November 1966 after a week of testimony from over seventy witnesses. The total cost for the inquest was $100,000. It was led by Ontario coroner H.B. Cotnam, who retained the engineering firm H.G. Acres Ltd to help conduct the investigation. Officially, the inquest was into the causes of death for site foreman Clarence Beattie.

The inquest blamed the lack of proper diagonal bracing on the wooden falsework supporting the concrete. University of Toronto engineering department head Carson Morrison gave expert evidence using wooden models to show flaws in the unbraced falsework's design. The inquest found that the weight of even one layer of concrete being placed to form the bridge deck exceeded the weight that the supports could hold, and that a second collapse was imminent as supports near the collapsed area showed signs of buckling. Secondary contributing factors included the use of green lumber, which was weaker than mature wood, differences between how the footings settled, and temporary overload of some of the posts.

The inquest heard testimony that a third design for the falsework, which did not include diagonal bracing, was meant by the consulting engineers to supplement the previous design, which did have the bracing. However it was interpreted by the construction firm as being a complete and final design. There was conflicting evidence about who was responsible for the change to remove the bracing from the design, with the Gaffney construction firm blaming M.M. Dillon, their engineering consultants, who denied they were responsible. Furthermore, municipal and provincial safety inspectors noticed the lack of diagonal bracing but were reassured by the engineering student leading the inspection tour that it had been approved by qualified engineers. Because the inspectors were not trained engineers and had been told not to question qualified engineers, the lack of bracing was not reported.

Oliver Gaffney, the owner and namesake of the construction firm building the bridge, accepted only partial responsibility for the falsework's design and construction, arguing that the design and method of construction had been approved by M.M Dillon, their design consulting engineering firm. John Bromley, the project engineer at Dillon in charge of approving the falsework design, testified that the fault for not recognizing the fatal lack of diagonal bracing was his alone and said that "My mind must have been a bit confused at the time."

The inquest found that O.J. Gaffney Ltd. of Stratford, Ontario, and M.M Dillon Co. were both responsible for the bridge collapse. O.J. Gaffney Ltd. was found guilty on two charges and fined $5,000, the maximum allowed penalty under the existing Construction Safety Act. As a result of the findings, the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario suspended two of its members, including Bromley, for one year and reprimanded a third.

The inquest jury also made a series of recommendations to prevent future accidents of this type. These included clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of construction firms and engineering consultants, stricter training and reporting requirements for inspectors, and requirements that falsework designs be stamped by a qualified engineer and use appropriate lumber. It also recommended creating a mandatory provincial building code for falsework and bridge construction. The recommendations of the inquest prompted a rewrite of the Construction Safety Act to increase workplace safety standards.

Widows of those killed in the accident received a lump sum payout of $300 to cover the cost of a funeral, an allowance of $75 per month, and $40-$50 per month for each child still in school.

The bridge was rebuilt and opened to the public on June 29, 1967.

Later history
In November 1987, a plaque honouring the nine workers killed was placed just west of the bridge on Heron Road. In the same year, the Canadian Labour Congress built a monument in nearby Vincent Massey Park to Canadians killed and injured at work.

From February 2011 to October 2012, Heron Road Bridge was closed because of a $15 million rehabilitation project — part of the city's Ottawa on the Move infrastructure plan — that improved its bearings, expansion joints, and pavement, among other changes.

In July 2016, after a campaign by the Ottawa and District Labour Council, the Ottawa City Council voted to rename the bridge the Heron Road Workers Memorial Bridge to honour the victims of the collapse. A rededication ceremony was held at the aforementioned plaque on August 10, 2016, the fiftieth anniversary of the collapse, and included three workers who survived the collapse, Mayor Jim Watson, local City Councillor Riley Brockington, the president of the Ottawa and District Labour Council, as well as the relatives of the victims. A new plaque was unveiled at the event.

Talk:John Witherspoon

Franklin praise?
What evidence supports the claim that Benjamin Franklin praised John Witherspoon?

I have waited a sufficient length of time for any one to offer evidence that Benjamin Franklin praised John Witherspoon. No one has offered any such evidence. I spent several years researching the life of Witherspoon, and I never found evidence of Franklin having praised him. I have therefore amended the article accordingly. I would be happy to hear from anybody on this matter.

You have quite a lot of free time on your hand, don't you...

Other "onlys"
Witherspoon was the only clergyman among the signers. Should we also add that he was the only educator, the only native of Scotland, and the only one who was well known in Britain before emigrating? Dynzmoar 10:45, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Educator, perhaps; although teaching for a year in young adulthood was fairly common, so it may not be true (and there's Jefferson and UVa). The others; probably not. But we should keep clergyman. Septentrionalis 01:53, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

John in fact was an Educator his entire life. He regularly taught courses at The College of New Jersey.Signersbuff (talk) 01:57, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Descendants
Reese Witherspoon is a descendant of John Witherspoon, is the actor John Witherspoon a descendant of slaves owned by the Witherspoons? Or are there other, non related Witherspoon families from which he may have been descended?

I regularly come to this page and change the assertion made by friends or supporters of Reese that she is a descendant of John Witherspoon, the Signer of the Declaration of Independence. Someone always changes the non-calim back to a claim. Repeated attempts to contact Reeses to verify the claim have been met by silence. She may be a descendant of a John Witherspoon, but as far as we can tell, she is not a descendant of John, the Signer. I have a pretty complete family tree of the Signer's Descendants and she is not on that tree. I welcome the opportunity to be proven incorrect. Jim Alexander, GGGGGrandson of John, the Signer. Signersbuff (talk) 02:15, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

My name is Brooke Ashley McAvoy. My father's mother was Francis Witherspoon. My father often spoke of our great-great-great-great grandfather John Witherspoon while I was growing up. My father owns the family Bible that belonged to John Witherspoon. I have a nine year old daughter, Cassady, and a three month old son named Tristan. We would love to hear from any other decendents. We are extremely proud of our herritage and will never forget our ancestors. Please feel free to contact me at mccalljett@yahoo.com.

 * Go ahead and alter the page if you like, however the fact remains that everyone cannot claim to be a descendant of this specific Witherspoon. Gautam Discuss 22:51, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

legacy: "limited government philosophy"?
I want to question the following sentence in the "Legacy" section: "The limited-government philosophy of most of these men was due in large measure to Witherspoon's influence." Is this referring to Witherspoon's views concerning the government of the Presbyterian Church or the government of the United States? The rest of the article makes no mention of Witherspoon's philosophy of government, so I will suggest that either some supporting discussion be offered or that this sentence be deleted.

SS John Witherspoon
She was a Liberty Ship, though I know very little about her career. The article refers to her being part of Convoy PQ17, but doesnt clarify that she was specifically one of the 24 out of 35 ships sunk in that convoy. She is mentioned as such in [|the PQ17 article]. Also, strictly speaking, she was sunk east and south of Bear Island, though I don't know the precise co-ordinates; but she was defnitely in the Barents Sea, which is part of the Arctic Ocean.Fleeming (talk) 12:57, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

President of Princeton University in Infobox
I added information describing that John Witherspoon was the 6th President of Princeton University to the infobox and it was reverted by FlightTime. Why do we need consensus for this? The article already mentions that he is the 6th President of Princeton. What is the disagreement for this edit? Agpagpagp (talk) 18:46, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

 * My concern is that you changed the infobox from Infobox person to Infobox officeholder, this change (IMO) should be discussed by editors who regularly watch this page. -  FlightTime  ( open channel ) 19:00, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Consensus on Infobox Changes
I think we should change the infobox to from Infobox person to Infobox officeholder to match the other Presidents of Princeton University (only two other Princeton Presidents are Infobox person, the other 17 are Infobox officeholder).

Legacy
The legacy section seems to be just a giant quote from a dissertation, and much of the information doesn’t really belong in that part of the article. 140.180.240.170 (talk) 21:44, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Notability
An inventory of Witherspoon's possessions taken at his death included "two slaves... valued at a hundred dollars each".
 * Not notable.

Witherspoon… lectured against the abolition of slavery.
 * A little detail about the content of his lectures, and where they were delivered, might justify the inclusion of this statement. Otherwise it’s just a diversity rubber-stamp. It is simply not notable, in itself, that people of that time who could afford slaves would own them. Valetude (talk) 08:19, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Francis Hutcheson
This article currently says both that he opposed the philosophical influence of Francis Hutcheson, and that he was influenced by the ethical philosophy of Francis Hutcheson. These claims are by no means mutually exclusive and may both be accurate. However, they deserve further elaboration. Daask (talk) 11:52, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Nebraska National Forest

The Nebraska National Forest is a United States National Forest located within the U.S. state of Nebraska. The total area of the national forest is 141,864 acres, or 222 sq miles (574 km2). The forest is managed by the U.S. Forest Service's Nebraska Forests and Grasslands Supervisor's Office in Chadron, Nebraska. The national forest includes two ranger districts, the Bessey Ranger District and the Pine Ridge Ranger District. In descending order of land, the forest lies in parts of Thomas, Dawes, Blaine, and Sioux counties.

History
The Nebraska National Forests & Grasslands began in 1902 as an experiment. University of Nebraska botany professor Charles Edwin Bessey, with the assistance of Gifford Pinchot, first Forest Service Chief, convinced President Theodore Roosevelt to set aside two treeless tracts of Nebraska sandhills as “forest reserves." Bessey’s intent was to grow trees, which would offset what some thought would be a national timber shortage from large fires, unregulated harvest, and the country’s growing appetite for wood products.

Nebraska National Forest was established on November 15, 1907 by the consolidation of three smaller forests: Dismal River, Niobrara and North Platte National Forests. The Niobrara district is now known as the Samuel R. McKelvie National Forest.

The national grasslands and the native ponderosa pine forest of Nebraska’s Pine Ridge area were added to the National Forest System in the 1950s. The nearly 1.1 million acres administered by the Nebraska National Forests & Grasslands are scattered across a large arc extending from central Nebraska west to the northern Panhandle, into southwestern South Dakota and on east to the state’s center. At one point it was the largest man-made forest in the world, but has been surpassed by a forest in China.

Bessey Ranger District
The 90000 acre Bessey Ranger District is in the Sandhills of central Nebraska. Encompassing about 63.9% of the forest's total area, it lies in parts of Thomas and Blaine counties. It was established in 1902 by Charles E. Bessey because he believed the area to have once had a natural forest and as an experiment to see if forests could be recreated in treeless areas of the Great Plains for use as a national timber reserve. This effort resulted in a 20000 acre forest, the largest human-planted forest in the United States. Today the forest's nursery supplies 2.5 to 3 million seedlings per year. The Bessey Tree Nursery is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There is a local ranger district office in Halsey.

Biodiversity of the Bessey District
The presence of the artificial forest in the Great Plains has allowed multiple species to colonize the area, including birds such as red-breasted nuthatch Sitta canadensis and the pine siskin Spinus pinus.

Pine Ridge Ranger District
The 52000 acre Pine Ridge Ranger District is in the Pine Ridge region of northwest Nebraska. It contains about 36.1% of the forest's total area, and it lies in part of Dawes and Sioux counties. The native ponderosa forests were added to the National Forest system in the 1950s. The Soldier Creek Wilderness, a federally designated wilderness area, is in the forest.

The 6,600-acre Pine Ridge National Recreation Area is located within the ranger district.

Management and additional lands
The Nebraska National Forest is managed by the Nebraska National Forests and Grasslands Supervisor's Office in Chadron. Additionally, this office manages the following public lands:
 * Samuel R. McKelvie National Forest
 * Buffalo Gap National Grassland
 * Fort Pierre National Grassland
 * Oglala National Grassland

Continuity Comics

Continuity Publishing, also known as Continuity Comics, was an American independent comic book company formed by Neal Adams in 1984, publishing comics until 1994.

History
After years as a freelancer and comics art packager (with his company Continuity Associates), in 1984 Adams ventured into publishing as a way to maximize his creative freedom (and profits). Continuity mainly published a variety of superhero comics developed by Adams. For instance, the title Ms. Mystic was first published by Pacific Comics, and was revived in 1987 by Continuity.

Adams' own detailed, realistic art was the basis of Continuity's "house style"; the company's creators included Dan Barry, Vicente Alcazar, Mike Deodato, Jr., Mark Texeira, Dave Hoover, Richard Bennett, Tom Grindberg, Bart Sears, Esteban Maroto, and Michael Netzer. Adams often provided layouts for the company's titles, as well as inking many faces and contributing other personal touch-up artwork. Adams also plotted many of Continuity's titles, most of which were scripted by writer Peter Stone.

Continuity's comics tended to be grittier than the mainstream Marvel or DC comics of their day, often depicting bloody, graphic violence. For instance, in one issue of Armor the title character has his hand chopped off and then the appendage is destroyed in a blender. Continuity was also part of a trend towards more eroticism in mainstream comics. For instance, the costume and the cover artwork illustrated by Mark Beachum for the character Samuree were often revealing, and she was sometimes drawn in sexy poses on the cover of her comic.

During the 1990s "variant cover" craze, Continuity got into Tyvek (marketed as "indestructible"), die-cut, glow-in-the-dark, chrome-plated, and hologram covers, as well as pull-out posters, stickers, and trading cards, all of which are associated with the speculation bubble which burst in the mid-1990s. Continuity also bought into the crossover craze of the era with Deathwatch 2000 (1992–1993) and Rise of Magic (1993–1994).

Over the course of its life as a publisher, Continuity was the subject of much criticism from comics retailers and fans for poor editorial oversight and the publisher's inability to ship its products on time or according to schedule.

Continuity stopped publishing in 1994 during its Rise of Magic crossover, embroiled in legal and financial troubles. Several of Continuity's later titles and characters wound up being picked up by other publishers. For instance, Samuree, Valeria and Knighthawk would be published by Valiant Comics' Windjammer line of creator-owned titles.

Talk:Neritic zone

questions
what kind of impact did the neritic zone have? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.242.130.148 (talk) 18:01, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Your question is unclear, especially because it is set in the past. By the way, just so you know, we are not here to do your homework for you. Invertzoo (talk) 22:43, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Smaller than Littoral zone!
I have switched Sublittoral zone from Littoral zone to here, but turns out to be shorter although the “main article”. At the least, someone could copy that material to here, maybe thin it out there? PJTraill (talk) 21:33, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

 * These are inaccurate changes. Sublittoral zone is better redirected to a section in Littoral zone, since the Sublittoral zone is a sub zone of the littoral. While the sublittoral is closely related to the Neritic zone, the terms are used in different contexts, and are not identical. You have copied material from the Littoral zone and inserted it awkwardly and inappropriately into the Neritic zone. You have then festooned your copy with unsightly and distracting tags. If you think these various citations and clarifications need to be there, then why haven't you made them yourself? You're the one who added the material. --Epipelagic (talk) 06:11, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

 * I am sorry to have been a nuisance and thereby upset you (somewhat); I was acting in good faith, trying to improve the organisation and presentation of the information. Various points:
 * We are referring to my changes at.
 * While I address myself to Epipelagic as “you”, anyone else qualified could obviously pick up my suggestions/requests.
 * I acted because another article referred me to Littoral zone, which said the main article was Neritic zone, which turned out to give less information, not more.
 * I therefore, acting on the assumption that the articles Neritic zone and Littoral zone were accurate and the terms synonymous, merged the latter (not changing it) into the former.
 * I gather from you that this was wrong, as they are not really the same, and see you have since changed Littoral zone to reflect that.
 * Perhaps you could add an explanation in an appropriate place of the distinction between the usage of Neritic and Sublittoral zone?
 * I apologise if the resulting Neritic zone includes inappropriate material
 * As a layman, I felt capable of merging the information on the assumption that they were synonyms, but now that I gather they are not, I think I had better leave correcting this to someone else.
 * Perhaps you could quickly remove/flag any egregious errors? Even just revert the whole thing, if you think that is best!
 * I did not add citations and clarifications because I do not know the answers; I was reorganising (and summarising) the existing information rather than extending it.
 * I agree that tags spoil the appearance; but think they are justified if they flag genuine problems (and lead to their resolution). In this case I feel that the requested information and references are genuinely desirable.
 * A thing that puzzles me particularly is that some diagrams show the Neritic extending across the entire ocean to a depth of 200m while the articles suggested it only extends where the water is no deeper.
 * The existing references appear to me, as a layman, as probably not the most authoritative possible, though not too bad.
 * My impression is that the root of the problem is the terminology: it is apparently inconsistent within and across disciplines. If so, perhaps one or two things would help:
 * A central place, in an existing or new article (Ocean? Littoral zone? Marine habitats?) summarising how the terminology is used, with citations, referred to from wherever confusion could arise.
 * There now seems to be considerable redundancy (so what’s new?) between the various articles.
 * Possibly, separate articles for the different contexts, though I suspect they will not split cleanly.
 * I am sorry you find my organisation of the merged information awkward; except for the last part, it seems logical and straightforward to me: Lead paragraph – Definition + terminology – Physical characteristics – Ecology – Physical oceanography. In an expanded article these would presumably be separate sections — but perhaps some of the material is inappropriate.
 * I did feel that it was unfortunate that the two articles became mutually rather redundant; I felt that the solution would probably be to trim Littoral zone, but did not feel qualified to decide how much.
 * PJTraill (talk) 23:27, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * P.S. “You” will probably also want to redirect Sublittoral zone away from Neritic zone and back to Littoral zone. PJTraill (talk) 23:35, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

USS Beatty (DD-756)

USS Beatty (DD-756), an Allen M. Sumner-class destroyer, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Admiral Frank Beatty.

The second Beatty (DD-756) was launched on 30 November 1944 by Bethlehem Steel Co., Staten Island, New York; sponsored by Mrs. Charles H. Drayton, daughter, and Miss Mary Drayton, granddaughter of Admiral Beatty; and commissioned on 31 March 1945.

History
Beatty reported to Commander, Operational Training Command, Atlantic Fleet, 22 June 1945 for duty as a training ship. She operated in Chesapeake Bay and made one cruise to the Caribbean between June and November. On 10 November 1945 she departed Norfolk, Virginia for the Pacific, arriving at San Diego on 25 November. She remained on the west coast until the end of March 1946 when she rejoined the Atlantic Fleet.

Between February and August 1947 Beatty cruised in Northern European waters. She conducted her first tour in the Mediterranean between September 1948 and January 1949. While in the Mediterranean she served on patrol duty, based at Haifa, Israel, during the Arab-Israeli dispute. Retiring to the east coast Beatty operated out of Melville and Newport, Rhode Island, along the eastern seaboard, and in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico until March 1951 when she returned to the Mediterranean. This cruise lasted until June.

On 2 October 1951 Beatty departed Newport for Yokosuka, Japan, via the Panama Canal. Upon arrival 31 October 1951, she joined Task Force 77 for patrol and blockade duty off the east coast of Korea. During November she participated in shore bombardments of Wonsan, Chongjin, Songjin, and Tanchon. On 15 February she again bombarded targets at Wonsan. On 27 February 1952 she departed Yokosuka. Sailing via Hong Kong, Singapore, and Colombo, Ceylon, she transited the Suez Canal for a brief tour of the Mediterranean. She departed Cannes, France, 12 April and arrived at Newport 21 April 1952.

Beatty remained active with the Atlantic Fleet. She made several tours of the Mediterranean, as a unit of the 6th Fleet, and conducted local operations, type training, and training cruises along the eastern seaboard and in the Caribbean.

Beatty received two battle stars for her Korean service.

P. Schuyler Miller

Peter Schuyler Miller (February 21, 1912 – October 13, 1974) was an American science fiction writer and critic.

Life
Miller was raised in New York's Mohawk Valley, which led to a lifelong interest in the Iroquois Indians. He pursued this as an amateur archaeologist and a member of the New York State Archaeological Association.

He received his M.S. in chemistry from Union College in Schenectady. He subsequently worked as a technical writer for General Electric in the 1940s, and for the Fisher Scientific Company in Pittsburgh from 1952 until his death.

Miller died October 13, 1974, on Blennerhassett Island, West Virginia. He was on an archaeological tour to the "Fort Ancient culture" site west of Parkersburg at the time.

Works
Miller wrote pulp science fiction beginning in the 1930s, and is considered one of the more popular authors of the period. His work appeared in such magazines as Amazing Stories, Astounding, Comet, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Marvel Tales, Science Fiction Digest, Super Science Stories, Unknown, Weird Tales, and Wonder Stories, among others.

With his friend John D. Clark, Miller is also known as a bibliographer of Robert E. Howard's "Conan" stories. The two worked out an outline of Conan's career and a map of the world in Howard's work in 1936 from the then-published stories. Their map became the basis of maps that later appeared in the book editions of the Conan stories. Their revised outline, "A Probable Outline of Conan's Career" was published in the fanzine The Hyborian Age in 1938.

Miller began a shift to book reviewing in 1945, writing for Astounding Science Fiction, later renamed Analog, for which he wrote a monthly review column, "The Reference Library", from 1951 to 1963. As a critic he was notable for his enthusiasm for a wide coverage of the science fiction field. He was awarded a special Hugo Award for book reviews in 1963.

After his death his sister Mary E. Drake donated his extensive collection of papers, maps, books and periodicals, accumulated largely as a result of his review work, to the Carnegie Museum. They now form the basis of the P. Schuyler Miller Memorial Library at the Edward O'Neill Research Center in Pittsburgh.

Teito Monogatari

Teito Monogatari (帝都物語) is an epic historical dark fantasy/science fiction work; the debut novel of natural history researcher and polymath Hiroshi Aramata. It began circulation in the literary magazine Monthly King Novel owned by Kadokawa Shoten in 1983, and was published in 10 volumes over the course of 1985–1987. The novel is a romanticized retelling of the 20th-century history of Tokyo from an occultist perspective.

Widely regarded as the first mainstream novel to popularize onmyōdō and fūsui mythology in modern Japanese fiction, the work was a major success in its native country. It won the 1987 Nihon SF Taisho Award, sold over 5 million copies in Japan alone, inspired several adaptations as well as a long running literary franchise. Likewise its influence can still be felt to this day.

Overview
The work is a re-imagining of the 20th century of Tokyo as influenced by the occult. Most of the subject matter builds upon references to classic Japanese and Chinese folklore, although the centerpiece of the mythology is the legend of Taira no Masakado, a 10th-century warlord and ferocious onryo who was placated into a guardian kami through centuries of worship.

The plot features many characters, both historical and fictional. Most of the narrative revolves around the cryptohistorical actions of Yasunori Katō, a mysterious former lieutenant of the Imperial Japanese Army who is himself a vengeful oni; a descendant of the people who rebelled against the Japanese Empire in ancient times. With an incredible knowledge of the supernatural and allies in China, Korea and Taiwan; Katō dedicates his life to crippling Tokyo, the seat of power of the modern Japanese Empire. His ruinous ambitions bring him into conflict with some of 20th century Japan's greatest minds including industrialist Eiichi Shibusawa, onmyoji Abe no Seimei's descendant Yasumasa Hirai, authors Koda Rohan and Izumi Kyoka; physicist Torahiko Terada, and author Yukio Mishima. The resulting conflict, involving science, magic and politics; spans 90 years of Japan's history.

The story begins near the end of the Meiji period and ranges through the rest of the century. It reinvents major events such as the Great Kantō earthquake, the founding of Japan's first subway, the February 26 Incident, the firebombing raids, the signing of the 1960 US Security Pact, and the ritual suicide of Yukio Mishima. The narrative finally reaches its climax in 1998, the 73rd year of a fictional Shōwa period.

Volumes

However, when the novel was republished in 1987–1989, additional eleventh and twelfth volumes were also written to supplement more of the story around 1945, the end of World War II. When the novel was republished in 1995, volumes 11 and 12 were inserted in the chronologically appropriate spot between volumes 5 and 6.

 * 12 volumes, 1987–1989, cover art by Yoshitaka Amano
 * 6 volumes, 1995, cover art by Shou Tajima (this is the edition currently in print)

Concept and creation
The novel originally served as a minor side project for Hiroshi Aramata who, at the time, was focused on gathering materials for an upcoming natural history book he planned to publish. He was asked by the editor in chief of Kadokawa Shoten, Hiroshi Morinaga, to produce a fantasy themed work for their periodical Monthly King Novel. At that time, Aramata had never written a fictional novel before. The initial idea for the story came from the legend of Taira no Masakado. Aramata was fascinated by the legacy of his spirit and its superstitious impact on modern Japan.

In addition, while participating in the creation of Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, Hiroshi Aramata was inspired by discussions with anthropologist Komatsu Kazuhiko about sources of the strange and the mysterious in Japanese folklore. Around the same time, Aramata also read Murayama Shinichi's non fiction history of onmyodo Nihon Onmyodoshi Sosetsu.

Legacy
Teito Monogatari, the novel and its various adaptations, is widely credited with pioneering a number of folklore tropes in popular Japanese fantasy media such as onmyodo, Feng shui, shikigami, kodoku, shijie, gohō dōji and Kimon Tonkou. Likewise it helped spark a surge of real life subcultural interest in these topics across the nation. The success of Teito Monogatari inspired Baku Yumemakura to begin writing his Onmyoji novel series; a best-selling franchise which heavily influenced mainstream interest in onmyoji mysticism across Japan and the international scene. Other similarly themed franchises which emerged in the wake of the novel's success include Clamp's Tokyo Babylon manga series, and Natsuhiko Kyogoku's Kyōgokudō (京極堂) series.

Professor of human geography Paul Waley cites Teito Monogatari as a work that reminded a generation of general Japanese readers about Tokyo's former status as an imperial capital. Dr. Noriko T. Reider, associate professor of Japanese Studies at Miami University, credits Teito Monogatari with raising "the oni's status and popularity greatly in modern times". In 2009 Higashi Masao, a notable authority in the field of Japanese weird fiction, wrote an article entitled "The Impact of Teito Monogatari" where he discussed the novel's influence on contemporary Japanese supernatural fiction. Akira Okawada, a specialist in Japanese science fiction literature, wrote a similar article in 2010 discussing the work's influence on that respective genre.

Analysis
In her essay "Oni and Japanese Identity", Dr. Noriko T. Reider argues that the work is a heterotopic inversion of classical oni mythology heavily influenced by the supernatural configuration brought about by World War II. She describes the novel as a "...heterotopic site where...contemporary representations of oni reflect past representations, where oni of the past are not simply superimposed upon the present but both act as extensions of each other in an odd continuum". The character of Yasunori Kato is intended as a homage to classic heroes from Japanese folklore such as Minamoto no Raiko (an imperial soldier related to oni) and Abe no Seimei. Whereas those heroes were ardent defenders and valuable servants of the Empire though, Kato is presented as its worst possible enemy. This inversion is also reflected in the character of Taira no Masakado, whom at the beginning is demonized by the narrator and the Japanese government as a national rebel and a threat. However, the story unfolds with him in the role of Tokyo's benevolent guardian deity worshiped by the various protectors of the city. The negative association becomes a positive one. Another example is found in the novel's fictional version of Emperor Hirohito. In pre-war Japanese culture, the Emperor was regarded as a divine figure incapable of human failing. In Teito Monogatari however, the Showa Emperor is presented as a frail figure who prolongs his life by unwittingly ingesting a nostrum made from human organs. This practice of cannibalism effectively puts him on the level of oni, a major paradox since the Emperor's divine status and the status of oni are incompatible with each other. If even the Emperor of Japan has the potential to become an oni, then when is an oni not an oni?

A Year Down Yonder

A Year Down Yonder is a novel by Richard Peck published in 2000 and won the Newbery Medal in 2001. It is a sequel to A Long Way from Chicago, which itself received a Newbery Honor.

Plot
The year is 1938, and the Great Depression has hit the Dowdel family hard. 15-year-old Mary Alice is sent downstate to live with Grandma Dowdel while her mother and father remain in Chicago. Her brother, Joey Dowdel, joins the army while Mary Alice is less than thrilled with the arrangement. Grandma's Hickory farming community could not be more different from Chicago if it tried, and the grandmother Mary Alice remembers from childhood is a no-nonsense country gal.

Having no choice in the matter, Mary Alice arrives by train in September with her beloved cat Bootsie and prized Philco radio. Day one in the new high school finds Mary Alice getting on the wrong side of the local bully, Mildred Burdick. Mildred brazenly follows Mary Alice home, demanding a dollar---but Grandma Dowdel turns the tables on the tyrant, slyly untying Mildred's stolen horse. Faced with a barefoot 5-mile-hike home, Mildred loses interest in making trouble for Mary Alice. October brings plenty of other trouble, however, when another teen hooligan - August Fluke Jr. - gets in the habit of knocking down privies for pre-Halloween amusement. With the help of a strategically strung wire and a pan of glue, Grandma Dowdel trips up Augie's trickery, with a hot coat of glue that sticks "till kingdom come." Luckily, Grandma's treats prove far sweeter than her tricks: at the party, Mrs. Dowdel dishes up home-baked pies made with "borrowed" pecans and pumpkins. Moonlit winter nights find Grandma and Mary Alice trapping foxes; with the extra money, Grandma buys Joey a train ticket and he arrives just in time for the Christmas pageant. But when Mildred Burdick's illegitimate baby turns up in the manger, Christmas is anything but a silent night.

Mary Alice stirs the town up by submitting anonymous articles to a community newspaper and a new boy---Royce McNabb---arrives just in time for Valentine's Day. Carleen develops an instant crush on Royce. With the help of best friend Ina-Rae, Mary Alice fools Carleen into believing that Royce sent Ina-Rae a valentine. Meanwhile, Grandma hosts a tea for the Daughters of the American Revolution and country bumpkin Effie Wilcox learns that the hoity-toity Mrs. L.J. Weidenbach is her long-lost sister.

In spring, Grandma takes in a New York artist, Arnold Green, as a boarder for a whopping $2.50 a day as Mary Alice invites Royce over for an ostensibly "study" focused-date. The snake Grandma keeps in the attic drops down on Maxine Patch, the postmistress, whom Green was painting naked, or nude, as he prefers, leaving Maxine shamed (as she ran through town au naturel) and Arnold in shock. Grandma moonlights as matchmaker, introducing Green to Mary Alice's English teacher, Miss Butler. Mary Alice survives her first tornado, and the school year wraps up with a hayride that finds Royce and Mary Alice promising to exchange letters. A year down yonder leaves Mary Alice with a more tenderhearted view of country life and Grandma Dowdel, and she hesitates to head back to Chicago. Wedding bells ring at the end of World War II, and Mary Alice returns to marry Royce McNabb in Grandma's front room.

Reception
According to Kirkus Reviews, "Peck's slice-of-life novel doesn't have much in the way of a sustained plot; it could almost be a series of short stories strung together, but the narrative never flags, and the book, populated with distinctive, soulful characters who run the gamut from crazy to conventional, holds the reader's interest throughout." Jim Gladstone wrote in The New York Times, "I suspect that parents and grandparents will enjoy reading these conversationally cadenced stories aloud, savoring Peck's sweet (but never too sentimental) evocations of, say, Kate Smith, 'the Songbird of the South,' singing; Armistice Day celebrations; W.P.A. artists' post office projects; and the joys of eavesdropping on faraway places through a portable radio in the dark of night." Kitty Flynn wrote in The Horn Book Magazine, "While the escapades are diverting, the seven stories, which span the school year, don't have the cumulative power of those in A Long Way from Chicago... Peck presents memorable characters in a satisfying sequel, and those looking to be entertained once again by Grandma Dowdel will enjoy their visit." Jaquan Jarrett wrote in The Yellow Wolf Magazine, "A unique approach to children's literature... a modern day children's book that is based on a time period we all enjoy reading about, rather than submitting to modern-day approaches with sci-fi and dragons". 2016

What Wikipedia is not says:

Wikipedia is not a dictionary

Wikipedia is not a dictionary, or a usage or jargon guide. If you're interested in working on a wiki dictionary, check out our sister project Wiktionary. Wikipedia articles are not:
 * 1) Dictionary definitions. Because Wikipedia is not a dictionary, please do not create an entry merely to define a term. An article should usually begin with a good definition; If you come across an article that is nothing more than a definition, see if there is information you can add that would be appropriate for an encyclopedia. An exception to this rule is for articles about the cultural meanings of individual numbers.
 * 2) Lists of such definitions. There are, however, disambiguation pages consisting of pointers to other pages; these are used to clarify differing meanings of a word. Wikipedia also includes glossary pages for various specialized fields.
 * 3) A usage guide, or slang and idiom guide. Wikipedia is not in the business of saying how words, idioms, etc., are used. . We aren't teaching people how to talk like a l33t cracker or a Cockney chimney-sweep. However, it may be important in the context of an encyclopedia article to describe just how a word is used in order to distinguish among similar, easily confused ideas, as in nation or freedom. In some special cases an article about an essential piece of slang may be appropriate.

Look at number two: Wikipedia is not a list of definitions. What is this article, if not a list of definitions? — M ATHWIZ 20 20  T ALK 00:46, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

 * There is a lot of overlap between a dictionary definition and an encyclopedia entry, with the chief difference being the level of detail included. The part of this article I worked on, the logic section, does include a couple of examples, which would be more than I would expect in a dictionary def.  If other meanings lack that level of detail now, hopefully they will be expanded soon.  Also note the numerous links to other pages. StuRat 03:32, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Example
""He was slouched alertly" is a juxtaposition." No it's not it's an oxymoron.

Well, I understand a literary juxtaposition can be direct, where the words are the objects that are positioned next to each other for effect (similar to an oxymoron). However, you can also have two different images as the objects taht are positioned next to each other for effect. For example, "He slouched in embarrassment when the courtroom stood in respect." The two images, a guy embarrassed is positioned next to a courtroom full of respect. I do think the example on the main page needs to be updated. Mauricetheferret 17:07, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Soft redirect to juxtaposition
This page was marked for a cleanup as a dab page per MoS:DAB. By looking through all entries one-by-one, it became clear this is not a dab page except for maybe logical fallacy and multiplication, and even then not really. For the rest, I didn't see why juxtaposition (wikitionary) can't be used instead. So instead of de-marking this page as a dab page, I thought I would have had consensus to transwiki anyway, so I was bold and did this immediately. Just in case you're wondering. – sgeureka t•c 15:02, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks; it was pretty bad.
 * I've recreated the page with some actual disambiguations, this time. --Piet Delport 03:36, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Piers Anthony's Apprentice Adept series
This is the title of one of the books in Piers Anthony's Apprentice Adept series; I didn't see a really sensible way to add such a disambiguation to the page, so I'm mentioning it here, at least. JesseW, the juggling janitor 18:04, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

(2007) To do: disambiguate incoming links
If someone is looking for a small project, there are a lot of incoming links to this page that need to be disambiguated or removed. As a rule of thumb,

 * if the use refers to another article, disambiguate it (and add the target here, if it isn't already)
 * otherwise, if it's just a passing mention, unlink it
 * otherwise, if it's a specific or technical enough use, point it to juxtaposition.
