Talk:KOME

POV
I think this is POV: "after writhing in head-bangers' mosh pit agony for several more years until 2004, finally suffering sufficient brain-damage to have lost any fluency with the English language." and needs to be cleaned up by someone more familiar with it. the article needs some polish too. Bubba73 (talk), 01:21, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite
Happened across this article, and was shocked by how badly neglected it's been. I got rid of all the POV stuff and made it into something somewhat worthwhile. I also added some logos (YAY!). The list of former personalities could use a little cleanup, or perhaps it could just be deleted. --Fightingirish 19:41, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes and No
No time nor inclination for a flame war here (I tired of that back in Unix LISTSERV daze)...but I can't resist one salvo: Yes, the article was a mess that I wasn't prepared to fix wholesale, and I know (nor care, frankly) little internal info after Infinity; No, it was not "badly neglected"--quite the opposite was exactly the problem: too many disparate "patches". Yes, the sentence "...This transition closed the KOME chapter in the South Bay Area's rock scene [2]; KSJO met a more ignoble rock demise, after writhing in head-bangers' mosh pit agony for several more years until 2004, finally suffering sufficient brain-damage to have lost any fluency with the English language." might appear to be POV to someone in GA or otherwise not listening to the two stations at that time. Whilst receiving that "lightning bolt" inspiration for one of the best sentences (after semicolon) I've ever written (as a, sometimes pro, writer of various types of prose), I neglected to consider those non-listeners. Perhaps it wasn't clear on a fast read that this refers to KSJO, not KOME. Yes, it should be in the KSJO article, however, that now-Spanish-language Clear Channel station, sadly continuing to use that venerable call sign, would get upset about what they would see as an inflammatory criticism, which it absolutely is. There needs to be a "KSJO-pre-Spanish" /vs./ a "KSJO" article; perhaps the former could be in the "defunct stations" category?...by all means, some Wikipedian should set one up.

Back to KOME: altho I would be (was?) the first to insist that this article needed a "massive rewrite", I take exception to the suggestion that many previous contributors are not "more familiar with it". There was a gross error in first ownership change in a recent edit. Who are you guys besides Wikipedians? I have identified myself, and my credentials used to be cleary visible. Jona has identified herself. Dennis Erectus is probably using the "...Neanderthal..." handle. Unless you two are Mel Karmazin, Dan Tapson, Ron Cutler, John Higdon, etc. (Ben Fong-Torres, Brad Kava and other journalists are sometimes a little off the mark and POV) then I doubt that you are "more familiar with it" than I (before Infinity) or Jona (thereafter) or, probably, some previous unindentifiable contributors. Yes, there was excessive POV before, altho to anyone listening to the two stations at the time, the "...head-bangers..." was NOT, it was just an especially picturesque description of the format facts then, which needed some "In other words..." for the non-listener. Yes, the added logos were needed and appreciated; I had wanted to add some (especially my almost complete KSJO collection), but don't have the time to study this Wikipedia mechanism (to where to upload them?).

Originally, I wasn't thinking about my own image, Google-searchibility, or any ego-tripping...just the facts (again, the "...head-banger..." being a fact). Then I noticed the Google results, and so spelled my own name both ways. There are a great many people, whether alumni or listeners, interested in these details which might be lost forever without the gradual improvement of alumni input, including especially owners, managers and program directors (that chronology should be restored forthwith). There are hardly any archived citable publications with this info. Where there are, you find such inaccuracies as /Gavin Report/ showing me moving to KSFO (typo of KSJO). Now...I realize that what is needed here for this purpose is something like:

http://www.KNOWReunion.com/

...one of the best such sites. However, until such time as someone coughs up the bucks for such a Website, Wikipedia will have to suffice for both KOME and "defunct" pre-Spanish KSJO. Kindly bear with us all who are attempting to embellish and preserve these details in the meanwhile.

I have been awaiting "Bubba73" to EMail or, better, voice phone to identify himself, at least somewhat. I almost agree with him that Wikipedia "editors" should be "registerd", but only to the extent that they should better identify themselves. I invite "FightingIrish" (or just about anyone else) to EMail privately in order to converse on voice phone and ascertain some form of identity. ("His" herein may refer to any gender, per long-establish English usage; PC is as bad as POV, IMNSHO.) Yes, I am chauvinistic about date and time format: The US needs to learn to conform to low-order-to-hi-order US military, genealogical and most of the rest of the world's usage: 27 Aug 2006...when is 9/11?...in Sep or Nov--no way to tell without context containing numbers greater than 12: whatever format one uses, month MUST be alpha, NOT numeric. Anyone who wants to change this should use the Wikipedia "user preference" coding. Yup, I personally believe that a benevolent dictatorship has certain advantages.

As I pointed out to "Bubba73" in private EMail, the format and programming aspects of such articles (someone: PLEASE condense the unwieldy number of radio formats) on radio involve ART, albeit the "gutter of show business", often no more than a juke box. Yes, there ought to be the technical and ownership details found in Broadcasting and Cable Yearbook--on all radio and TV stations; e.g., antenna lat-long, height above average terrain, ERP, etc. In telcon with FCC, it appears that they do not conserve archives beyond about five years. Of course, these papers are likely lovingly protected by NARA, but unearthing them is not a quickie, simple matter. Worse, too many reference librarians are clueless on "DON'T toss last year's /Broadcasting and Cable Yearbook/", San Jose State U being a notable exception, but still missing a few years.

"Fledgling" is not an apt description of the proto-Infinity owners whose FCC application crossed my desk at the time; I should have photocopied it. Aside from minority (10% ISTR) owner Michael Weiner of Palo Alto (who may or may not be the same as an announcer using that name), all were New Yorkers with MetroMedia connections, and maybe the shoe business. "Nascent" might be a good word for proto-Infinity? At one point, possibly overall, KOME was their worst-(revenue?)performing station of about thirty; I can't recall that publication to cite.

Even in Encyclopedia Brittanica, you will be hard-pressed to find any articles on any "art" that do not include some POV. Many scholars appreciate the 1911 Brittanica precisely because some of its articles are written by the likes of Henry Ford (on mass production, ISTR) who were actually there, actually doing the thing. It is online free; just Google "1911 Britannica", maybe before checking Wikipedia (ha, ha), where first-person, court-admissible testimony is considered LESS desireable than any old citable publication (which, in this business / art, is all too-often inaccurate)...Huh?.../au contraire, mes amis/, at least as long as the "witness" identifies himself, maybe SMails sworn or signed affidavit?

Jay (talk) 04:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your contributions, Jay. Not sure why you're calling me out, but I guess I'll step in here to defend myself. I got much of the information from a variety of sources on the web (mostly what's already referenced) and added it to whatever was already there (hoping that people who had more info would add to it). I attempted to clean up the article because it was a mess, and didn't even come close to Wikipedia standards.

 * The only information I got rid of was stuff that seemed to jump around too much, or be too irrelevant. Also got rid of the chronology for the same reason (plus it was too redundant). Otherwise, I moved information around under various headings and subheadings. In short, I like articles that are enjoyable to read, without trying to cram in every little tidbit of information.

 * As for me? No my name's not Mel. I'm actually Sumner Redstone, and I'm going to shoot a bolt of lightning at yo ... Sorry, got carried away. Just kidding. Acutally, I'm just a radio geek (although I worked in radio a while back myself) who spent a few formative years growing up in the Bay Area (early 80s). I remember all the rock stations from back then, including back in 1982 and 1983, when KOME and KSJO were trying to out-metal each other. Hell, I remember when KOME added Michael Jackson's "Beat It" (which sounded weird amongst all the Iron Maiden and Judas Priest stuff), and the DJ announced it was Eddie Van Halen... on Michael Jackson's "Beat It". Funny stuff.

 * So I'm just an average schmuck trying to pretty up a few articles. Again, welcome to Wikipedia. And thanks for the diss. --Fightingirish 01:35, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Whew!: a sense of humor
Sumner: I didn't intend to seem to "call you out". Maybe it was your "FightingIrish" handle (a little Irish here, too) that makes it a pleasant surprise that you have a sense of humor. Hey, I AGREE that the article was a mess, full of redundancies (most of which I think I just reduced from the chronology). Originally, I had just thrown in a few little pre-Infinity tidbits and hoped that someone might make the whole a little more coherent.

Again, I doubt that any article including anything about ART could technically meet Wikipedia standards. I have been a journalist, so I'm usually trying to be unbiased (except when trying to be inflammatory with the "...head-bangers' mosh pit..." (now moved to KSJO article to see how much Hispanic macho attacks it); it sounds like you were also getting a headache trying to listen to KSJO at that time. Still, I think that sentence is factual, just odd word-choice to describe those format facts.

"Every little tidbit of" info, I know, doesn't belong here, especially if they can be found in citations and external links. At a glance, one might surmise that the chronology is redundant, as it is based on an external link...but the pre-Infinity history, ignored in the external link, has nowhere else to reside nor be improved upon...yet. There needs to be a KOME Website; when there is, it could have more such detail. On the other hand, the Web is not contstrained by Brittanica's heavyweight paper limits, so why not embellish beyond a page or two?

You did a good job of clean-up, by Wikipedia standards...except for going a little far to cut the chronology, IMO. I just took exception to a few things...not "diss"ing you, just wanted to know if you were Ben Fong-Torres or some such. SMail, EMail or voice phone anytime.

--JWW

Jay 06:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC) (talk)

 * Okay, I cleaned it up a little. Here's what I did:

 * I Cleaned up the overall sentence structure, for readability.

 * In the first paragraph, I eliminated the 1979 12,000 watts reference, as it seems out of place and irrelevant.

 * The KSJO reference (1968 debut) doesn't flow well, better to put that on the KSJO article. I'll attack that later, so you've been warned! (on a side note, I do have logo images for them)

 * Added Wiki link to KIFR, which is on the same frequency as the old KMPX. I'm working on putting all KMPX stuff there, but may just do a seperate article on KMPX-FM alone.

 * Got rid of excess wikification. Once or twice for each term (freeform) seems adequate.

 * Eliminated the reference to the movie "FM". I believe it's on the KMET article, and it seems irrelevant to the KOME article.

 * What position did Ron Nenni hold at KOME? Was he GM or MD? I left out Nenni's name until a title is found for him. Otherwise, nobody will know or care about him, and may be confused.

 * I took out the chronology, since it goes against Wikipedia's preferred article approach. I did incorporate some of the information elsewhere. Plus, the list exists in the Metroactive article anyway.

 * I left in the ratings info, since I think it's good information. Whether or not it concurs with Wikipedia standards, I don't know. Perhaps this could be cleaned up sometime.

 * And no, I'm really not Sumner Redstone. Like that old geezer knows how to operate a computer! Kinda like Rupert Murdoch on SpywareSpace ... er MySpace.

 * BTW: Got any sticker images, like individual bands or the mid-80s 'digital readout' logo?--Fightingirish 14:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Hello Fightinirish,
 * At a first glance what you are doing appears to be removing any inconvenient truths that don't fit within what you would like the article to be. (ex.: 12000 watts? FM movie? Nemi?) I think that would be called adding a POV by removing perfectly good information. I can certainly appreciate the fact that you appear to be cleaning-up the article. In fact the first thing I generally look for is to ensure the article uses proper wiki rules when citing and giving information, found at WP:CITE. However may I politely suggest that what you are doing may be frustrating, not only to the editors that have taken precious time to add their information, but to those who realize that bits and pieces of the article appear to have been drastically changed. I also couldn't help but notice that there was a sort of timeline. Yes perhaps this would be good to be on www.wikitimescale.org, nevertheless not everyone is familiar with this auxilary wiki feature. I alway particularly enjoy a chronology and I know that everyone learns differently. Having a different format for the information will be an asset for tactile readers. Furthermore, I can see that this article is in it's infancy, but has some room for expansion. This will require better lines of communications. I was wondering, to avoid cluttering this discussion page, if you could validate your email address. Thanking you in advance for your courteous and effective response. --CyclePat 21:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Radio stations policy
It is not Wikipedia policy that radio stations get distinct articles for each call sign change in their history; if KUFX is the same license that once belonged to KOME, then this has to be redirected to KUFX. Bearcat 23:54, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Tough call. I think Wikipedia prefers entire station histories to be placed in the article of its frequency. But it seems the consensus of many users is that it is acceptable for defunct radio stations of note. Examples of this would be WMAQ, KNAC, KQLZ, KQAK, and KMET. Many people would be searching around forever trying to find any of these stations, since they are long gone. A redirect could also remedy this situation. I do feel that if a defunct station gets its own article, the seperate article should be referenced in the article of the current station. There is a discussion about it here. Obviously, obscure call letters would not fit the criteria, but many feel that KOME is one of the stations that deserves its own article. Problem would be if another notable station (and not some small AM station in an obscure market) decides to use those call letters. Then perhaps a disambiguation page would be in order. --Fightingirish 20:10, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

 * As far as I know, a currently-broadcasting radio station always gets first crack at its undisambiguated call sign, without regard to market size. So if there is a station currently using the KOME call sign (I don't know if there is or not), then it should get the KOME title no matter how big or small its market is. For one thing, a current radio station can't conceivably have any other title, whereas a defunct one can either be merged into its current call sign or go to something like "KOME (defunct)" if necessary. Also, I don't know whether KUFX is the same license that was held by KOME or not; that was part of my question. It seems that way from this article, but KUFX's article doesn't give the same impression. Bearcat 04:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

What you guys seem to be addressing is WP:NPOV. In short you should try to incorperate as much information into on article. Nevertheless, at one point you'll have to branch out. This is permited. So technically, you shouldn't branch out but then again you can (once you get enough information!). I think this article has enough information and has a great pottential for exepansion if you guys where more acceptant towards including information.

To summarized what has happened to date my understanding is that there is an escallation of witty comments, perhaps rude and defencive editing. I am not aware of who started what, but I am aware that the situation is escallating. This needs to stop. I want both of you to appologize for any rudness that may have happened in the past. I say this because I know that if you work together and properly express your concerns this article will be great. Also, if you remove this stress and fear of loosing "important" edits (deletions) I think you shall all feel better in properly editing this article. Wikipedia is not a race, it will be here tomorow and probably for many more years. Take your time and add what you want to say in the best wikipedia way you can! And if you think the information is wrong well say that too. History is important even if it is wrong.

Secondly, to be able to say something the best way you can't constantly be berated by frustrating Removal edits. I will assume that some of the information is "conflicting" or even "contradictory." (I can help you that or you could even post the links here so everyone can look at whatever information). Remember, we simply need to state that "so and so believes this... yet so and so believes that." Unfortunatelly we can't put every opinion that everyone believes. (I learn this the hard way) Nevertheless we will need to discuss what the main concerns are for this article. I believe I have a good idea. That is one person has sourced information but the other has conflicting information and removes this information. (or can't find the information or doesn't believe the information). (An inclusion exclusion problem). The best way I found to get around this is to do "small edits" to the main article and properly state what changes you are doing or to list the changes here for further discussion. --CyclePat 04:12, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

User:C06374n4747

Hi. I'm user C06374n4747. I'd like to help with the construction of the School or Department of Economics at Wikiversity-English language. I've noticed about 3 active contributors. I'm not sure how to contribute. I earned a BA in Economics in 2004. I'm interested in Development Economics, Energy Economics, Introduction to Economics and other fields.

Over the years, I observed there was and probably still is a need for dedicated professors, but also for dedicated TAs (Teachers Assistants). Many undergraduate students I met, including myself, often were at a loss to comprehend various concepts. Many times it was hard to find someone who had the time to explain things to students. I refer to undergraduate students.

I spent about 7 years studying Economics in El Salvador, and later moved to the US. After several years, I returned to school and earned my degree. I currently work in a library as an assistant, while I attend a graduate program in Project Management.

I would like to offer support as a TA and as an assistant or adjunct professor, primarily explaining concepts and later how to solve exercises, to support interested students. I have the feeling that there is a serious need in English speaking countries in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, for this type of free online support. As long as undergraduate students have access to this School of Economics in those regions, I believe this School can be a source of significant support. Perhaps the same can be said later for graduate students of Economics in these developing regions.

If anyone among the regular active contributors has any suggestions/advice/pointers, you may e-mail me to my address listed in my user page. Thank you for your time.

C06374n4747 2006-10-21

Preliminary notes to the readers- These pages are dedicated to students of Economics in English, primarily. The audience I am trying to reach/support/assist is the undergraduate and graduate Economics students in English-speaking countries or regions in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. Students in advanced English-speaking countries such as the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are also welcome. Nevertheless, my primary focus is the college/university student populations in developing countries that attend schools where English is the primary language of instruction.

Provided you have access to the Internet, and somehow get to find and read these pages, I hope to provide a support service for your academic needs/purposes, as time allows. These pages are not intended to replace or substitute the courses/textbooks/conventional academic work you are involved/ enrolled in, as a student, but rather, they are intended to offer additional materials to support your academic efforts. I would appreciate if you open an account in Wikipedia, for your own use, if you find these pages valuable for your academic readings/studies/exercises.

I hope part of these pages will be prose, part will be exercises and problems, and I hope that there will be pages with links to web sites (mostly in English) so you can access additional information for your studies/readings/term papers/theses/dissertations. The intention is to add to these pages as my schedule allows, one semester at a time. I understand there are legal issues related to posting links to web sites and web pages. As far as I understand, there is a need to obtain permission to make such links. Therefore, it may take some time to add links that may be found on the Internet. Some links will probably not get posted precisely because of permission problems.

Please be careful to keep track of your notes, endnotes, footnotes and online and offline sources. This is so that there is no risk of plagiarism. Every student of Economics who wishes to improve the image of this profession ought to be cautious to avoid rumors and charges or accusations of plagiarism. Sometimes, we suffer problems of bad reputation, precisely because one or another of our colleagues did not follow careful standards and submitted or published writings as his/her own, when in fact they were authored by someone else. I’ve known of cases and rumors concerning economists who have abused their position of trust and enriched themselves improperly. So this is another thought: every student of Economics, who wants to improve the image of this profession, ought to follow high academic and ethics standards. I realize that in several countries/regions, and during certain periods of social unrest/wars/disturbances, there are times when a student may be tempted to cut corners or skip certain procedural steps. It is usually better to not do so, unless it is a matter of life-or-death. In the US, there is a word, “duress” that addresses such abnormal situations. Please give due credit where credit is due. Do not claim someone else’s work or writing/s as yours. Make sure appropriate academic credit is given to the author/s of every source you quote or otherwise use in your own academic or professional papers and other works.

On December 6th, 1941, the Advisory Committee of Uranium created the first timetable for the development of a Nuclear Bomb.

May 23, 1942, marked the decision to proceed with all methods for isotope separation and plutonium production that had been developed to this point.

In June, 1942, Oppenheimer was appointed head of the bomb development group, and investigated the theoretical aspects of the design. Group members include Hans Bethe, Robert Serber, Emil Konopinksi, John Va Vleck, Felix Bloch, Richard Tolman, and Edward Teller. Tolmer suggests fission by implosion.

On September 17th, 1942, Leslie Groves was appointed military head of the project, at which point went about obtaining large amounts of high-grade uranium, created the Oak Ridge site for development of fissionable uranium, and gave the Manhattan Project the top secrecy rating. November, 1942, marked the acquisition and development of the Los Alamos site for development of the bomb platform.

In January, 1943, a large tract of land was acquired in Washington for the construction of the reactors that were to produce plutonium. February 1943 marked the construction of a Y-12 electromagnetic Uranium separation plant begins at Oak Ridge. The next month, construction of Oak Ridge's X-10 reactor site chemical separation plant began.

As of 2012 Glanville was the Chief Executive Officer of the National Centre of Indigenous Excellence, a "not-for-profit social enterprise that aims to build capability and create opportunities with and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia". His "big picture" for the centre was to have it change Redfern from "a place notorious for chronic unemployment, lawlessness, drugs and alcohol into a centre for learning and culture". he is no longer in that role.

National Press Club address
On 13 February 2013, Glanville addressed the National Press Club. The title of his address, delivered with Tanya Hosch, was "Recognition: Why It's Right." On the same day, a photograph of Glanville and Hosch, with Indigenous leader Patrick Dodson, was published on the front page of The Australian newspaper.

Other roles
Glanville was also a co-director of the Ngiya Institute for Indigenous Policy, Law and Practice, a Trustee of the Australian Museum and a board member of the Australian Indigenous Leadership Centre.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Unsolved problems in medicine

The result was Keep all. Properly sourced "unsolved problems" pages in other disciplines provide evidence that maintaining these rigorously is both encyclopedic and beneficial to scholarship. Xoloz 17:57, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Unsolved problems in medicine
Listcruft. Hopelessly POV/OR exercises in free association. wikipediatrix 23:41, 10 August 2006 (UTC) I am also bundling these related articles into the nomination:
 * Unsolved problems in biology
 * Unsolved problems in chemistry
 * Unsolved problems in cognitive science
 * Unsolved problems in economics
 * Unsolved problems in neuroscience
 * Unsolved problems in software engineering

...for the same reasons. wikipediatrix 23:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. All of these articles could be improved and modified to include citations. The fact that they have been put up for deletion with no honest attempt made to ask for references is troubling. What can be done when vandals take over the library and become the librarians? I have moved these articles to another wiki that respects human knowledge and the search for new knowledge. I will also copy them into Wikiversity as soon as it opens. Request to Wikipedia's deletionists: the next time you get bored and start throwing out articles that are important for the Wikimedia Foundation's mission, please think about donating them to Wikiversity. --JWSchmidt 00:39, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll ignore your intimation that bringing these to AfD is a form of vandalism... I think it's common sense that what exactly constitutes a "problem" is completely subjective. The article is based on a POV/OR violation from the getgo. It's not just that these articles are atrociously written (which they are) and not just that they're filled with questions which violate WP:OR because some editor is basically the one asking the questions in the article, like "Can we someday perform a brain transplant?". I could riff on these articles all night long and think of hundreds more questions like "Can we someday regenerate severed limbs?" and "Can we someday spontaneously generate a third bionic eye that is capable of sending and receiving text messages?" This parlor game of free-association regarding such "unsolved problems" in question form has no parameters and thus no end. wikipediatrix 20:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep and clean up as to include only sourced questions, i.e. one must be able to cite an article that says something like: "This is an important open problem in field X". -- Koffieyahoo 01:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. The current articles are xxxxxx and it is far from clear clear (and even impossible to define) what belongs there. If it means "everything what is currently explored" then the list must be thousands of times as long and any selection would be NPOV. What means "unsolved"? We cannot know anything in all its facettes and every detail - does that make everything "unsolved"?. That you can formulate an "unsolved" problem is only possible if you know so many details of it that you can no longer call it "unsolved". I have the strong feeling that these can never become real articles. Cacycle 02:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Definite keep (speaking only for the chemistry section) These lists are essential for proper understanding of these sciences. Please note elaborations & references etc. are maintained on the secondary pages and not in the list itself. I crossed out some improper language, you have to assume editors are in good faith. V8rik 15:21, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * How is a list of vague questions like "What are the chemical origins of life?" considered "essential for proper understanding"?? And you do realize, don't you, that questions like "How can one design and make an effective catalyst for any desired reaction?" is so vague and open-ended, one might as well make the whole article a lot shorter and simply ask "When can mankind solve all unsolved problems?", which would be no more or less edifying. wikipediatrix 20:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * We now have 13 unsolved problems in chemistry, 7 of which with their own article with (importantly) relevant citations. The intro clearly states that the list should not include how-to problems. I understand that the concept of unsolved problems is poorly defined but I guess that whenever more than one theory tries to explain the same phenomenon you have an unsolved problem. I think the only issue is with Medicine, at first glance limited to howto's but not addressing the fundamental issues. V8rik 16:10, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong keep all. As per above.-PlasmaDragon 17:05, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete all without prejudice to later sourced recreation. As it is, with zero sources, WP:RS and WP:NOR alone mandate deletion. How else are we to ascertain that these problems are indeed unsolved and relevant? Sandstein 07:23, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep all It's a good list, and likely to be found - good material for school-grade projects.  Mugaliens 18:29, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all respectfully in disagreement with the above - these are terrible lists. No effort has been made to establish the foundations of how such problems are identified, nor the criteria by whcih inclusion couldbe judged. Not just listcruft, witless listcruft.  Eusebeus 21:45, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong keep all Interesting and relevant to the fields.  Should be cleaned up to add sources, but there is no need for deletion. -Interested2 23:37, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong keep all Unanswered/unanswerable questions are some of the most significant attractions to any field. I concur that the articles should be cleaned up for sources, but deletion is not the answer. --Ezratrumpet 02:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong keep all - Because wikipediatrix didn't even try to fix the lists, nor request a fix, I do not believe this nomination was made in good faith. --Trinity Skyward 16:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Why would I try to fix them? I don't think they should exist at all. The fundamental idea of random lists of "problems" violates WP:OR and WP:NPOV from the outset. Therefore, there is no possible fix. wikipediatrix 16:20, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete all. I have been troubled by wikipediatrix's zeal to delete and denounce articles, but these are essentially random lists. The economics article is particularly problematic because several of the "problems" are merely political footballs. Gazpacho 18:29, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Your personal opinion of my "zeal" is irrelevant here and borders on WP:NPA. FYI, most of the articles I nominate for deletion do indeed end up being deleted, so it sounds like you have a problem with the consensus of the Wikipedia community in general, which is who ultimately makes the final decision, not I alone. wikipediatrix 23:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree. His being troubled by your zeal to delete is entirely relevant, seeing as you were the nominator of these articles, and is certainly not a personal attack - it's his opinion.  A personal attack would be "you delete perfectly good stuff".  He's saying "you delete things a bit more that I would".  Furthermore, I find your noting of WP:NPA to be very interesting - although it may or may not be so, it appears to be to be an intimidation tactic.  -Interested2 02:17, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Whatever. I am not on trial here. The articles are. wikipediatrix 02:31, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Opinion regarding someone's usual practice is not a personal attack, particularly when that person agrees with your position. --Ezratrumpet 09:42, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Rediculously Obvious Keep - the literature is full of verifiable ...remains an open problem... - the suggestion that it's POV or OR is completely unsupportable. WilyD 19:45, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm glad it's so obviously "rediculous" [sic] to you. Maybe you can explain why you think "problem" is NOT a subjective (that means "matter of opinion") term? What constitutes a "problem"? Seriously. And since these articles are filled with open-ended free-association loaded questions, (some are almost as bad as the old Groucho Marx loaded question "Do you still beat your wife?") how can you deny that unsourced questions that wonder if mankind will ever achieve certain things are anything but speculation, and therefore POV/OR? wikipediatrix 21:13, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, because there are verifiable, citable sources at to what is or isn't an unsolved problem in a field. If a specific question is unverified, then it can be excised, but the overall article is fine, and This article needs some editing is not a criterion for deletion. WilyD 21:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * There are unsolved problems in every field that when solved, will advance knowledge in that field to a new level. Division by zero comes to mind as an example. Lists of those questions are attractive to the intellectually curious. The articles might do well to add "previously unsolved questions" and note how those solutions advanced human knowledge. --Ezratrumpet 09:37, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I really think that user wikipediatrix should stop arguing that the chemistry unsolved problems are unreferenced. At least the articles On water reaction, Enzyme, homochirality, Asymmetric induction, Bond_rotation_barrier to which the unsolved problems refer have discussion and ample references. I am not prepared to invest more time in the article as long as this business continues although I have new articles and unsolved problems in preparation (Superatoms and  tunneling effects in the Kinetic isotope effect) Also I object to the bundling of different articles, why mathematics is not listed and chemistry is I do not know and the poor quality of the medicine article is not my concern . Also the deletion discussion should end after 5 days and we are now living in day 6. Why not have an improve tag and move on? I am considering making Unsolved problems in chemistry a Chemistry Collaboration of the Month if that helps V8rik 22:09, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not a big deal - since no valid arguments for deletion have been presented, these encyclopaedically necessary topics are plenty safe. WilyD 03:57, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Sesame Street Magazine is an American monthly magazine based on the long-running children's television series Sesame Street. The magazine features characters from the television series, and emphasizes Sesame Street's educational goals. The intended audience includes children under the age of five and their parents.[1]

Sesame Workshop (formerly called the Children's Television Workshop) published Sesame Street Magazine from October 1970 until 2001. The Parenting Group then assumed publication, and until 2008 distributed it optionally to subscribers of Parenting (magazine). Since 2008 the Parenting Group has distributed Sesame Street Magazine electronically and without charge. The Parents' Choice Foundation commended Sesame Street Magazine with the Parents' Choice Award on 18 occasions between 1970 and 2007.[1]

Related Magazines

 * Kid City, created for children ages 6-10 who have outgrown Sesame Street Magazine. It was also produced by Children's Television Workshop and each issue also centers around a theme.
 * 3-2-1 Contact, a science-themed magazine based off of the Children's Television Workshop show of the same name. Intended for kids ages 8-14.
 * Creative Classroom, a magazine that was obtained by Children's Television Workshop in 1990. The magazine is intended for elementary school teachers.

Regular magazine features
In 1985, publisher Nina Link decided to incorporate a parents' guide in the magazine. In 1985, the Sesame Street Parents' Guide became a separate magazine. The intent of the supplement is to explain the themes of each issue to parents so that they understand what their children can learn from the magazine. Subscribers receive both publications. While Sesame Street Magazine does not carry any third-party advertising, the Parents' Guide does.

Both the parent magazine and the children's magazine are meant to complement the show. Every year, Children's Television Workshop developed new curriculum goals to apply to both the show and the magazine. For example, if the show addressed issues about the environment, the magazine did too.

According to the guidelines laid out by Nina Link, publisher of the magazine from 1978 to 1999, and Renee Cherow-O'Leery, Director of Research for the Magazine Group of the Children's Television workshop from 1989 to 1995, "Sesame Street Magazine is designed to be a child's first magazine. It seeks to encourage the development of literacy, inquisitiveness, and social skills. Each issue is organized around a central theme. One month it might be a concept such as number, color, or shape recognition; another month it might be a psychological theme such as a child's need for self-esteem. The magazine has regular departments and features in which many familiar Sesame Street television characters (e.g., Big Bird, Grover, and the Cookie Monster) appear. In addition, photo essays cover real-life issues, such as what it is like to have a pet, use a wheelchair, or visit the library."

The purpose of the magazine is to foster prereading, writing, mathematics and socialization skills. Just as the effect of the show on children was continually evaluated in laboratory settings, the magazine issues were as well. The goal of Children's Television Workshop is to combine education with entertainment. Thus, just like in the show, the magazine features fun stories centered around Big Bird and Cookie Monster, as well as engaging colors.

According to the guidelines laid out by Nina Link and Renee Cherow-O'Leery, the aim of the Sesame Street Parent's guide is as follows:

"It is to help parents better understand the changing needs of their preschool children. The magazine offers practical parenting advice and features articles on health, safety, nutrition, and the latest research on child development. A regular department,"Extending This Issue," gives parents suggestions on how to use the accompanying Sesame Street Magazine to expand their child's learning potential."

Circulation and Pricing
In 1981, circulation was at 1,125,000, including 375,000 sold at newsstands and checkout counters. Subscription price was $6.95 for one year and newsstand price was 75 cents. One year subscription included 10 issues per year.

In 1990, the magazine's circulation was at a high of 1,200,000 million. Subscription price was $14.95 for one year (still 10 issues) and newsstand price was $1.50. Subscriptions at this time included the Parent's Guide, but the guide was not sold in newsstands. Another 51,000 copies of the two magazines were sent free by the publisher to pediatricians' offices.

In 1999, the magazine's paid circulation for the first six months of the year (January 1 to June 30) was 1,148,432 with an additional unpaid circulation of 16,224, according to Audit Bureau of Circulations and BPA International figures.

In 2000, the magazine's circulation numbers dropped by 2.9 percent when compared to the 1999 circulation numbers. According to Audit Bureau of Circulation figures, the magazine's paid circulation was 1,111,647 from Jan 1 to June 30.

As of 2006, a subscription of the magazine, ordered through Parenting (magazine) is $12.00. This subscription includes 11 issues.

Uses for Education
The magazine was used to set a curriculum for a preschool in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The preschool centered its literacy program around the themes addressed in the monthly magazine issues and then sent a magazine home with each student at the end of the month. The program was intended to build a connection between the school curriculum and the parents; by sending kids home with a copy of the magazine, they could engage the parents on what was being taught. In partnership with the teachers, publisher Nina Link donated copies of each magazine issues to the school.

2019 World Athletics Championships – Men's shot put

The men's shot put at the 2019 World Athletics Championships was held at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha from 3 to 5 October 2019. The winning margin was 1 cm which as of 2024 is the only time the men's shot put has been won by under 5 cm at these championships.

Summary
It took 20.90 to automatically qualify. Exactly 12 men made that distance, eight of them on their first attempt. There were no further place qualifiers to the final.

This was the cap to a build up of several strong athletes. Four members of the 74 foot club were here, with Darlan Romani joining in 2019 and Ryan Crouser improving his personal best to #6 all time. Behind them were four more men over 22 metres in the last two seasons.

With 22 metres the standard, the first throw of the competition was 22.36m by Crouser. Three throws later, Romani moved into second with a 21.61m. As the last thrower throughout the competition, Tomas Walsh launched a new Oceana continental record. It was the longest throw in 29 years, making him the #4 thrower in history. On his second throw, Romani threw 22.53m, just short of 74 feet, which put him into second place. Crouser duplicated his first throw in the third. It took 21.18m just to get three more throws.

In the fourth round, Joe Kovacs threw 21.95m to move into fourth, then Crouser threw 22.71m to move into second place. In the fifth round, Walsh landed his second best throw, 22.56m.

In the final round, Kovacs stepped into the ring and tossed it, equalling Alessandro Andrei for the #3 thrower in history. More importantly, he took the lead. A couple of throws later, Crouser stepped in to throw his best to tie Walsh. Walsh fouled again. With his 22.71m second best throw, compared to 22.56m for Walsh, Crouser took second. In the space of 5 minutes, Walsh went from the #4 thrower in history, to third place in the competition. Romani's best throw of 22.53m would have been good enough to win the gold medal in every World and Olympic shot put competition prior to this championship, however it was not enough to secure even the bronze here as he finished in 4th place.

This has been called the greatest shot put competition in history.

Records
Before the competition records were as follows:

The following records were established during the competition:

Qualification standard
The standard to qualify automatically for entry was 20.70 m.

Schedule
The event schedule, in local time (UTC+3), was as follows:

Qualification
Qualification: Qualifying Performance 20.90 (Q) or at least 12 best performers (q) advanced to the final.

Final
The final was started on 5 October at 20:05.

Delhi: Adventures in a Megacity

Delhi: Adventures in a Megacity is a 2009 book by British-born, Indian-based writer Sam Miller.

Background and synopsis
Delhi: Adventures in a Megacity is a portrayal of one of the fastest-growing cities in the world; following Miller's encounters with the people of the city - from a professor of astrophysics to a crematorium attendant, from ragpickers to members of the Police Brass Band.

Miller, who has lived in the city since 2002, visits Delhi's less celebrated destinations; the unexpected, the ignored and the eccentric, and seeks to depict the city in "all its humour and humanity". Miller portrays the city as a blending of past and future, East and West, rich and poor.

Reception
In The Christian Science Monitor the book is described as a "loosely spun, multifaceted travelogue" which "puts all Delhi's bizarre charm and extremes on full display" and "will resonate with...anyone wanting a glimpse of one of the world's fastest growing metropolises."

Writing for The Independent Peter Carty praises Miller's book as an "engaging and innovative account" which "draws upon psychogeographic techniques" and which shows Delhi is not "lacking the vitality" it is often thought to. Carty writes that Miller presents "a hugely eclectic variety of experiences" showing the extraordinary diversity of the city.

T-vertices

T-vertices is a term used in computer graphics to describe a problem that can occur during mesh refinement or mesh simplification. The most common case occurs in naive implementations of continuous level of detail, where a finer-level mesh is "sewn" together with a coarser-level mesh by simply aligning the finer vertices on the edges of the coarse polygons. The result is a continuous mesh, however due to the nature of the z-buffer and certain lighting algorithms such as Gouraud shading, visual artifacts can often be detected.

Some modeling algorithms such as subdivision surfaces will fail when a model contains T-vertices.

Talk:Michel Foucault reading group

the Introduction to The Archeology of Knowledge
Sometimes it is possible for an author to be so immersed in the topic of interest that the author's ongoing struggle to come to grips with the topic distracts the author from providing readers with a "bird's eye view" of the struggle. We are invited to get down in the mud and role around with the author; join in the struggle. That is fine if you are already in your work clothes and ready to get dirty. However, those of us who are in a more fastidious mood might need to first know if by joining Foucault in his struggle we will learn something useful or just get dirty. "My aim is to uncover the principles and consequences of an autochthonous transformation that is taking place in the field of historical knowledge." Phrased this way, it does not even sound like Foucault believed that goal had been reached. I admit to being spoiled by the scientific literature in which it is common to be provided with "abstracts" and "introductions" that contain short lists of what has been accomplished by the author(s) in each particular publication. After looking at The Archaeology of Knowledge I wonder if it would be possible to say something such as: "Foucault describes a few Western historical ages in terms of cultural systems that generated particular distinctive types of human activities, with particular emphasis on those activities that generate feedback and lead to changes in the cultural system itself, eventually leading to transitions between historical ages." --JWSchmidt 15:40, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:List of Kayasthas

edit warring
Please keep in mind WP:VERIFY when adding names to the list: Only people with Wikipedia articles should be listed here, and only those who are mentioned to belong to the Kayastha caste on their own article. Since his alleged Kayastha-hood is not mentioned on Sen's article, Vr is right in removing the addition until evidence is cited. Anonymous editor, please be aware of WP:CITE, and try to be polite and argue your case here on the talkpage. If you persist, I will semi-protect the article and/or block you from editing. thanks, dab (ᛏ) 08:55, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

WP:V
This list is completely unsourced. More often than not, the respective biography article in Wikipedia doesn't support inclusion in this list, let alone give a reference.

Are there any talkers for a massive referencing effort or should the list just be deleted?

Pjacobi 08:46, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Sen
To Vr: In Bengal, Sens can be both Vaidyas (not Vaid), which means doctors; or Kayasthas. The word Vaidyas is also spelled as Baidyas in Bengali. Attaching an internet link http://www.ancestry.com/learn/facts/fact.aspx?&fid=10&ln=sen&fn=&yr=1920 Ref: Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4 Further more, if you read the main article on Kayastha it says that "Some other sub-castes e.g. Khare, Vaidya have also come into picture but they all are derived from the original twelve." So please don't delete Sen from the list of kayasthas.

List
If you look at the main artcle on Kayasthas you will find the differenr surnames used byKayasthas in different parts of India.It is therefore misleading to say that the artcle is unsourced-after all this list is a part of the main article.(Vr 11:29, 18 August 2006 (UTC))

 * By thw ay I looked at www.kayastha.org the link is provided in the main article on Kayasthas.After reading that you will not be in a position to say the JC Bose was not a Kayastha.(Vr 11:42, 18 August 2006 (UTC))

 * http://www.kayastha.org isn't a reliable source for purposes of WP:V and WP:RS. Citing a published (printed) biography would be best. --Pjacobi 15:29, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I would advise you to look at the following link:

http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN0521563194&id=7bAxnPwOMd8C&pg=PA154&lpg=PA154&dq=jagadis+chandra+bose+kayastha&sig=8yBgmmYnKhHJGmgcSVBYUysxXNE

Priyanka Chopra
Alok kumar 17:48, 21 September 2006 (UTC) Priyanka Chopra's mother is a Kayastha.Therefore, Priyanka's name was included in the list. But, it was deleted by Vr,stating that her mother is a Malyali. Priyanka's name has been removed twice. I do not know the basis of this grossly incorrect and misleading information. I intend to include her name again. Relevent link is [] Akhouri/Akhauri is surname of Kayastha. If I am wrong,please enligten me how is she from Kerela. Thanks

The relevant portion of New item is :

Granny brought up Priyanka BAREILLY, Dec 1 (UNI) — Mrs Madhu Jyotsana Akhauri, maternal grandmother of Priyanka Chopra, finds it hard to believe the little girl who was playing on her lap the other day has become a beauty queen winning the Miss World title.

“I watched the mega event the whole night and felt on top of the world when Mimi was adjudged the Winner”, she said. Priyanka was crowned Miss World at a glittering function in London last night.

This small town in Rohelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh has woken up to the fact that it is the home town of a beauty queen. Everywhere, people are discussing the mega event.

“I cannot believe the girl who was playing in our lap till yesterday has achieved this feat”, Mrs Akhauri said. Priyanka’s parents, Dr Ashok Chopra and Dr Madhu Chopra, had accompanied their daughter to London.

She credits Priyanka’s success to her determination and self confidence but also lauds the role of her daughter Dr Madhu Chopra behind the success of Priyanka.

The proud “nani” said it was she who practically brought up Priyanka as both her parents were employed.

Born on July 18, 1982, Priyanka, after completing her class X from St Maria Goretti School here, was pursuing her further studies at the Army School. At that time, she wanted to become a criminal psychologist, the grandmother recalls fondly.

However, winning the “May Queen” contest at Bareilly Club last year changed all that. She decided to take the plunge into the field of glamour and went on to take part in the Femina Miss India contest and the rest is history.

The 18-year-old idolises sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar and is greatly influenced by both Indian classical and western music. Priyanka relishes Indian, Mexican and Spanish food and is specially attached to her 11-year-old brother Siddhartha, she said.

Meanwhile, Bareilly, widely known for its “surma” and “jhumka”, is jubilant today over the success of Priyanka and the recognition it has brought to the town.

A banner reading “mimi, we are proud of you” hangs at a hotel on the station road here. Almost every one watched the whole contest on TV last night and felt proud over Priyanka’s success, the fifth Indian to be crowned the Miss World.

Another city hotel has decided to set up a fan cub of Priyanka while some local businessmen are planning to give the world’s longest greeting card to Priyanka on her return to get the town listed in the Guiness Book of World Records."

Hi Alok

Thanks for the information.I had based her mother's pedigree on the Star Nesws programme broadcast on her birthday.But even if she is an Akhouri which I know is a Kayastha surname she does not qualify here as caste is determined by father_ I would be a Punjabi Khattri otherwise!!!By teh way Please work up an article on Shivpujan Sahay.Regards(Vr 06:02, 22 September 2006 (UTC))

Correction........Raja Todar Mal was a KHATRI
Raja Todar Mal was a Punjabi Khatri, not a Kayastha

Deletion
If this gets nominated for deletion, it will presumably fail for the same reason as list of Nairs and list of Rajputs, ie a mixture of unverfiability and alleged "indiscriminateness" and being "a directory." Kappa 06:26, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Sources, BLP & notability
Per our policies regarding notability, it is necessary that statements are verifiable to multiple independent sources. Certainly in a case where there may be an issue relating to how living people are identified, I think that it is desirable to enforce it.

I am also of the view that all names should be blue-linked, in order to have some sort of wider test/scrutiny for notability. In other words, all names in this article should have their own articles also. It is easy to find "passing mentions" of people (any people, not just alleged Kayasthas) but that does not make them notable.

In addition, possession of a name that is claimed by Kayasthas is insufficient. As an example of the problems that can arise, the name "Nair" is claimed by the Nairs, but there are thousands of people in Scotland who bear that name and have got no closer connection to India than their local curry house or whatever. It simply is not good enough. - Sitush (talk) 08:27, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Pajęczno

Pajęczno is a town in Poland, in Łódź Voivodeship, about 40 km north of Częstochowa. It is the capital of Pajęczno County. Its population is 6,651 (2020). It is located in the Sieradz Land.

History
First mentioned in historical sources from 1140, when it was part of Piast-ruled Poland. It had town rights between 1276 and 1870, and again from 1958. It was a royal town of Kingdom of Poland, administratively located in the Radomsko County in the Sieradz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.

A Jewish community had been residents of Pajęczno since the late 1700s and numbered about 700 at the beginning of World War II. When the Germans occupied the town in September 1939, they unleashed a violent attack against the Jewish community, beginning with murder and abuse, then stripping Jews of most of their property, and in 1941, confining them to an overcrowded ghetto. After that, Jews were expelled to forced labour camps and then in August 1942, many were murdered in the town and most of the rest were sent to the Chełmno extermination camp where they were immediately gassed. In 1942, the Germans also expelled 312 Poles, who were deported to a transit camp in nearby Wieluń and then to forced labour in Germany and German-occupied France. The last few dozen Jews were sent to the Lodz ghetto. Very few Pajęczno Jews survived the war.

On 14 June 2019 an intoxicated man drove through the town in a T-55 tank and was arrested shortly after.

Hudson Italia

The Hudson Italia is an automobile styling study and a limited production two-door compact coupé that was produced by the Hudson Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, in cooperation with Carrozzeria Touring of Italy, and subsequently marketed by American Motors Corporation (AMC) during the 1954 and 1955 model years.

Designed by Frank Spring with input from Carlo Felice Bianchi Anderloni of Carrozzeria Touring, and introduced on 14 January 1954, the Italia was based on the Hudson Jet platform and running gear featuring a unique body and interior.

Development
During the early-1950s, Hudson began several product development programs that included the Hornet, a six-cylinder engine, the Jet, and the project that became the Italia. The management at Hudson Motors sought the publicity that Chrysler received from their work with Ghia and the resulting show cars. The Hudson Italia concept was to replicate the notoriety of concept cars such as the Chrysler Ghia Specials (1951–1953). The original idea "was to create a fast, sporty car, based on the hotfooted Hudson Hornet" and also for competition in the Carrera Panamericana. A flagship European-inspired experimental sports coupe that might rival Corvette, Nash Healey, Kaiser Darrin, or the Ford Thunderbird, which was then not yet marketed. The objective was to increase Hudson's brand recognition and gauge public reaction to styling ideas.

During the development of the Hudson Jet line, chief designer Frank Spring wanted to bring a low-slung stylish car to Hudson's model range. Hudson's management "demanded ill-advised changes" that made the Jet look "dowdier" than Frank Spring had intended. To compensate, they "gave the unhappy Spring permission to build an 'experimental' sports car based on Jet mechanicals." Spring was contemplating seeking employment at other design studios. He wanted to design a sports coupe that might rival the first six-cylinder Chevrolet Corvette, but with European-inspired flair and grand touring luxury.

Lacking sufficient capital to develop a new model, Hudson reached an agreement for a prototype to be built in Milan by Carrozzeria Touring. A complete Hudson Jet was shipped to Italy. A new body design, based on sketches by Frank Spring, was formed over a steel tubular frame. This unibody system of aluminum panels was known as superleggera (equivalent to "very lightweight" in Italian), and "was expensive and fairly revolutionary in its day." The work done by Carrozzeria Touring was under the supervision of Spring and Hudson's vice-president, Stuart Baits. The Italia was the only project that Carrozzeria Touring undertook for a U.S. automaker.

The cost to Hudson for this concept car was reported to be only $28,000. It was a curious mix of Italian flair with American flash. After the prototype was completed in September 1953, Spring and his wife drove it around Italy.

The car was shipped to the United States to be displayed at numerous Hudson dealerships across the country by late 1953, and it received positive customer reactions. It was exhibited at automobile shows in the U.S. and some in Europe, as well as at the International Sports Car Show held in January 1954.

This car first appeared under the "Super Jet" name and featured numerous advancements, including its aluminum body, wraparound windshield (reminiscent of the 1953 Corvette), doors that cut 14 in into the roof (also called aircraft doors) for easier entry and exit. the Italia was 9 in lower than the Jet, and rode on a 100 in wheelbase. The prototype also featured Borrani chrome wire wheels and its column-mounted three-speed transmission included an overdrive unit.

Design

Carrozzeria Touring's construction technique of a thin wall tubing superstructure covered by hand-formed aluminum panels was used by several European automakers for their lightweight racing models; however, the Hudson's Jet unit construction required using the regular car's production floorpan and cowl, thus effectively negating any weight savings for the Italia.

While styling for the Jet was conservative, the Italia was anything but and unlike any previous Hudson. The Italia was 10 in lower than a Jet. Over the headlights, the front fenders featured V-shaped scoops, ducting cooling air to the front brakes. However, they only vent "the underside of the fender and the top of the tire." The front bumper sported a large inverted "V" (the trademark Hudson triangle, inverted) in the center that angled up and overlapped the grille work. Rear quarter scoops cooled the rear brakes. In the back of the car, the tail, directional, and back-up lamps tipped the ends of three stacked chrome tubes per side, emerging from scalloped cut-outs in the rear quarter panels. The production models did not receive overdrive, the instrument panel was different, and a combination of leather-and-vinyl upholstery was used.

The Italia featured a radio (not yet standard equipment even on Cadillacs), form-fitting bucket seats made from foam rubber of three different densities for maximum comfort covered in red and white leather, featuring reclining backrests made up of two contoured bolsters, one for the shoulders and one for the lower back. The seats were firmer at the lower back than the upper and between the two cushions was air space so "the seats actually 'breathed' through the motion of the passengers." A non-reflecting dash was finished in red, with bright red deep-pile Italian carpet, all contrasting with the "Italian Cream" exterior color. Even red leather seat belts were incorporated as they were just beginning to appear as standard equipment that was pioneered by Nash but attached only to the seats themselves. Flow-through ventilation, usually credited as a General Motors innovation, feeding through a cowl vent (just becoming usual in 1950s U.S. cars), was also incorporated.

The Italia was powered by Hudson's "Twin H" 202 CID L-head straight 6, with a higher (8:1) compression and dual one-barrel (single choke) downdraft carburetors, producing 114 hp. All were equipped with a three-speed manual transmission with a column-mounted gear shift lever. The cars featured drum brakes in the front and rear. The trunk was accessible only from inside the vehicle. The area consists large luggage platform behind the seats with straps to hold cargo and lockable storage compartments on either side of the platform.

Production

Hudson commissioned Carrozzeria Touring to build what is believed to have been a total of 50 cars and sent the needed "Super Jet" components to Italy. Despite lower labor costs in Italy, the hand-built car's price tag was US$4,350 at the New York port of entry (POE) according to an AMC press release (undated) or $4,800 FOB Detroit, per a letter Hudson sent on 23 September 1953, to dealers and as listed in the Motor Trend October 1954 issue. This was more than the price of a Cadillac at that time (the Sixty-Two Coupe de Ville started at $3,995).

Hudson dealers began taking orders on 23 September 1953. The response was lukewarm, with only 18 or 19 firm orders. The Italia's price was high, and dealers were disappointed that the more powerful Hornet engine was not offered. Less expensive were the $4,721 Nash-Healey, the $3,668 Kaiser Darrin, and the $3,523 Chevrolet Corvette.

On 14 January 1954, Hudson Motors and Nash-Kelvinator Corporation announced a merger to form American Motors Corporation (AMC). Hudson's prospects as a stand-alone independent marque ended with complete consolidation under AMC by May 1954. The newly formed automaker sent letters to all Hudson dealers announcing a deadline for pre-paid orders from customers for the cars assembled in Italy. However, "orphan" branded cars, such as the Nash and Hudson, were shunned by customers and depreciated quickly. Orders for the Italia were almost nonexistent, and AMC committed to have only another 15 Italias built.

The managers of the newly merged automakers at AMC had no intentions to expand marketing for the Italia, and further problems were encountered when Carrozzeria Touring refused to supply spare body and trim parts. Roy D. Chapin Jr. "was the sales manager for the Italia program and was ordered to get rid of those cars."

Most of the Italias were sold to eccentric customers in Southern California. Twenty-one of the 26 Italias have been accounted for. The missing five cars carry serial numbers 5 through 10, with two in this group located in Europe, thus leading to speculation that these early cars were never delivered to the U.S. Contemporary reports indicated that the cars were sold in Europe.

X-161 prototype

A single four-door sedan prototype (dubbed X-161 for Spring's 161st experimental prototype) powered with the Hornet engine was also constructed. This was a much larger car based not on the compact Jet, but on the full-sized Hornet. It delivered good performance and employed many of the features of the Italia, though its ornamentation was somewhat more subdued. It was also built in Italy by Carrozzeria Touring as a working prototype for Hudson's replacement of its step-down models. The X-161 is also described to be the last "real" Hudson.

Legacy
The Hudson Italia gained international recognition, but only 25 of these stylish models were produced, in addition to the single prototype. The automobile was Hudson's "last gasp for an image-building smash hit."

The authors of the book 365 Cars You Must Drive wrote that the decision represented "going for broke" in that it would bring benefits if the car was successful in the marketplace and would help lift sales for the company. In retrospect, the Italia was one of the "disasters" for the automaker, but represented "typical product development in the automobile industry" at the time.

The Italia's massive grille design was later adapted on the 1956 Hudson that was introduced after the merger of the two companies.

Automobile collector, Gordon Apker, described the Italia's looks: "It's the 50s; it's Flash Gordon, it's Italian drama on an American platform."

Collectibility
Hudson Italias are invited to numerous prestigious car shows, including Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and regularly earn special awards.

A Hudson Italia with chassis number 11 was formerly part of the Harrah Collection, which was acquired in 1971, reportedly from Liberace, finished in silver with red and black leather upholstery.

The market value of the Hudson Italia is increasing as evidenced by a "no reserve" sale of car number 21 for $396,000 at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale. This car was of such quality that Sports Car Market magazine's analysis was that "the buyer went home with a screaming deal." Other cars on the market in 2009 and 2012 have also resulted in sales above $250,000. A Hudson Italia with serial number 003 that underwent a ground-up concours level restoration that took from September 2009 to December 2010, was a class award winner at Pebble Beach in 2011, was priced at $500,000 in 2013.

A Hudson Italia that was recognized as the "Best Preserved Post-War Car" at the 2014 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este was priced at €575,000.

An opinion in 2014 described that the Italia's unique style and limited production have made the unique car "a valuable asset at any car show" and that it "will likely soon be an "A" list collector car."

Hudson used the first production, Italia (serial IT-10001), as a show car across the United States and Canada. The restored car features the correct cream with a red and white interior. It has had only three owners until 2023 when it was purchased for $495,000.

Reputation
As of 2007, the neighborhood is known for a relatively high crime rate, and has a "tough" reputation.[citation needed].

That is something that has been printed in Lonely Planet for several years (i.e. way before 2007), but I suspect it is crap. When I was there I saw that it looked about the same as a lot of other areas, and indeed Centro is a lot scarier to walk around. If someone could get reliable crime statistics for different parts of Havana, I would have to ask where they came from. The Cuban Government doesn't publish information like that. It would be good if someone could point to some reliable literature on Marianao, but I suspect that there is unlikely to be anything in English.

If you look at the Spanish language Wikipedia article for Marianao here, you don't see any mention of crime, or it having a 'tough' reputation.--<IP_ADDRESS> 13:07, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Vangelis Moras

Evangelos "Vangelis" Moras (Βαγγέλης Μόρας; born 26 August 1981) is a Greek former professional footballer who played as a centre back and currently a manager.

Early years
Moras started his football Ampelokipoi Larissa playing as a striker having Marco Van Basten as his idol. In 1999, aged 18, along with his Ampelokipoi teammate Kostas Paparizos, he moved to Beta Ethniki side AEL. During his 2-year sting with AEL, Moras was converted to a defender after Serbian coach Nebojsa Licanin changed his position. In 2001 after AEL relegated to Gamma Ethniki he signed for Proodeftiki helping the club win promotion and return the first division in 2002.

AEK Athens
After having impressed in his first season in the first division, Moras was transferred to AEK Athens for €260,000, as a personal choice of the then coach, Dušan Bajević. He stayed at the club even at the new effort made by the Demis Nikolaidis administration in 2004 and left in 2007. With AEK he also competed in European in the UEFA Champions League group stage in 2003 and 2006, while also played in the Cup final on 10 May 2006 losing to Olympiacos. He left the club on in 2007 after his contract was expired.

Bologna
On 1 July 2007, Moras signed for the Italian club Bologna. After his first season there, he helped the club to win promotion to the Serie A. Moras scored his first goal for Bologna against S.S.C. Napoli scoring the winning goal.

He made 104 appearances in his career at Bologna in all competitions.

Swansea City
On 14 October 2011, it was confirmed that the player had joined Premier League team Swansea City. Brendan Rodgers’ defensive headache has eased slightly with FIFA finally giving Swansea City the green light to sign Vangelis Moras on a three-month deal. The Greek defender, a free agent having left Bologna in the summer, agreed terms with Swansea after a successful trial in South Wales, scoring a goal in a friendly against Llanelli on 7 October 2011, but delays in processing the paperwork looked set to leave Rodgers with only one fully fit centre-half for Saturday's trip to Norwich. He made his Premier League debut in a 2–2 draw with Wolves on 22 October 2011. He left the club after his three-month deal expired in January 2012.

Cesena
Cesena officially signed Moras a free agent after his short-term contract with Swansea expired and has signed a new deal until the end of the season. The Sea Horses announced that Moras will undergo his medical on Thursday before taking on his first training session.

In his interview, the defender who was under contract until June, was ready to take the field against Novara: "I am happy for my arrival even with a two-years' delay, as last season we were very close. With Swansea I did not go well (only 7 games with 6 of them with the reserve-team), so I desperately want to go back to Italy and I thanks Cesena for this opportunity." Furthermore, he said that "the situation is difficult but we can save, I'm used to fighting. I know the coach, it was he who took me to Italy, in Bologna, where I stayed four seasons, the best time of my career so far. I am a close friend of Antonioli together we were rossoblù: it was old then, it's old now, nothing has changed."

On 21 January 2012, he made his debut with Cesena in a 5–1 loss with Roma. Besides the fact that he is regular starter until the end of the 2011/12 season, he left the club after his six-month deal expired in June 2012.

Hellas Verona
On 1 July 2012, Moras signed for the Italian club Hellas Verona. After his first season there, he helped the club to win promotion to the Serie A. In June 2013, Panathinaikos is chasing the signature of the Greek international, as the club looks to begin rebuilding after a disappointing season. The Athenian giants missed out on European football for the first time in almost two decades last season and the club is expected to change its approach to the transfer market drastically this summer. A key part of that approach will be focusing on bringing in Greek players and staff, whilst avoiding the exorbitant wages it has previously paid for underperforming foreign players. Moras, who was a key part of Hellas Verona's promotion to Serie A last season, has reportedly been in contact with the club. Panathinaikos did not easily give up, offering him a two-year contract worth around €200-250,000 a year.

Eventually, the upcoming deal with Panathinaikos did not come to an end and the Greek defender signed with the club for another year. Moras scored his first goal for Verona against Varese scoring the winning goal. In a game against Bologna, Moras did not react to a biff from Jonatan Cristaldo during the Serie A match between his club and Bologna FC at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi on March 2, 2014, in Verona, showing his character and moral. Additionally, on 9 April 2014, in an interview had made clear that Hellas Verona are not thinking about Europe, but only finishing out the season well. The club has been one of the surprise packages of the season and until recently were in direct competition for a spot in the Europa League. However, on from a recent fall in form, their Greek international centre-back has made clear where focus truly lies. "Europe? I don’t even want to hear that word," he told reporters at a trade event this week. "We are thinking about every Sunday's game, we will see at the end where we will be. I am not thinking about Europe, it is the only thing that can make me feel bad. Now we hope to close the season out very well, because it is good for the club and for the fans. This was a very difficult season, we were able to achieve safety in March and this was an important thing. It was not easy to reach this target and teams with more experienced players were not able to do it, and we have. Now let's enjoy this moment, we have been through some difficulties and we now think to finish well."

Vangelis Moras will be part of the 23 players of Greece that will fly in Brazil. A great season with Hellas Verona's performance level that has not gone unnoticed by Fernando Santos, coach of Greece, who decided to bet big on him. But the first to believe in the quality of Vangelis Moras of Bologna was Fabrizio Salvatori, who took him in red and blue, " ...was released, and really wanted to come to Italy – says Salvatori exclusive to GianlucaDiMarzio.com – He accepted a year contract with an option for three more years if he had done well, and so it was with Bologna in Serie B came by a couple of goals in that year, and contributing significantly to the promotion. He steadily grows in confidence, which led him to play in the World Cup. He is a versatile player who improves every year. But even before this is a great guy who deserves this call, after he has done very well this year in Verona."

On 8 July 2014 Hellas Verona have renewed Greek international Moras’ contract until June 2015. The defender put pen to paper on a new deal, which includes an option to add another year until June 2016. On 21 April 2015 Vangelis Moras reached 100 appearances with the jersey of Hellas Verona and Greek international defender celebrated, by holding a Greek flag on Instagram.

On 17 May 2015, Vangelis Moras in an interview, has expressed his concern regarding the future of the club in the midst of rumors suggesting that the club might be sold. Speaking after his side's 2–1 win over Empoli, the Greek centre-back also demanded more clarity from owner Maurizio Setti despite the Italian businessman having recently stated that the club will not be sold in the summer. "The president has denied the sale of the club, but I want more certainty," said the 33-year-old to Sky Sport Italia."And I hope all things are sorted and we’ll be ready to start again properly from next season." This situation is being much talked about because there are a number of Gialloblu players whose contract expire in the summer of 2015, including that of Moras.

On 18 September 2015, Moras stated that he wants to finish his career with Hellas Verona " Ours is not a job like any other, in a football team we are mates, the fans and the company. I am at Verona for four years and for me it's like a second family. All helped me to deal with this difficult problem, all were close to me and I can only say thank you to the men with whom I have a relationship important and special. I feel part of this team and I want to close my career here. Toughest opponents? No doubt those lower down in the standings, one must not underestimate them because they might put you in more trouble than large. " said to calcionews. On 29 November 2015, he scored his first goal for the 2015–16 season in a 2–3 away loss against Frosinone with his header from a corner somehow squirming through Nicola Leali's hands in a goalkeeping howler.

Bari
On 5 July 2016 F.C. Bari 1908 announced Moras had signed a two-year deal with the club. He played as a starter in the first Serie B games, but on 5 September 2016, after the training he went for medical examinations that revealed a muscle injury. On 22 October 2016, he returned to the starting XI of the squad in a home game against Trapani Calcio.

Panetolikos
On 30 August 2017, Moras signed a contract with Panetolikos, returning to Greece after almost 10 years in Italy. On 9 December 2017 Vangelis Moras reached 100 appearances in the Superleague Greece.

Return to AEL
On 31 January 2018, AEL officially announced the acquisition of experienced former international central midfielder on a six-months contract. The 37-year-old player, returned in his hometown Larissa, after 16 years and will probably close there his football career. Moras begun the 2017–18 season in Panetolikos but was released after six months due to mutual disagreement. On 30 March 2019, he scored his first goal with the club with a powerful header from Stefan Živković’s corner sealing a 2–1 home win game against rivals Asteras Tripolis in his club effort to avoid relegation.

Apollon Larissa
On 9 September 2020, Moras signed with Super League Greece 2 club Apollon Larissa a year contract for an undisclosed fee. On 17 March 2021 he scored his first goal with the new team against O.F. Ierapetra with the match ended 1-1.

On 7 July 2021, he announced via Instagram his retirement from professional football.

International career
Moras competed for Greece at the 2004 Summer Olympics.

Following some impressive performances for his club in the Serie A, Moras was called up to play for Greece on 11 February 2009 in a friendly against Denmark, where he made his international debut. Greece manager Otto Rehhagel announced the ten men who will make up part of the squad to will take on the Danes in Piraeus, with the remainder of locally based players to be called up as the match approaches. It is Moras’ name that stands out, the former AEK Athens man clearly having impressed Rehhagel in the Serie A this season.

The 27-year-old has established himself in manager Siniša Mihajlović's first-team, making 18 appearances and even having managed to score a goal during his side's 2–1 away loss against Inter Milan. Quoted by the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) official website, the Bologna centre-back expressed a desire to seize the rare opportunity; if he plays against Denmark it will be his first ever appearance for the national team. "My call-up to the national team is something that I wanted after all the efforts of my career, something that they have vindicated. I am grateful to the people who have shown faith in me. On my part, I am prepared to do everything to please my manager and to maintain my position in the national team for a long time." Moras said.

Moras exceptional season year with Hellas Verona was his passport not only to be called by Santos to the 30 man provisional World Cup squad, but also to the final 23-man squad for 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Personal life
In July 2014, Moras travelled to Australia to donate bone marrow to his brother Dimitris, who had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia while on holiday in the country and was being treated in a Melbourne hospital. On 17 July 2015, Moras' brother left his last breath in Larissa State Hospital, where he had been transferred recently. On 27 August 2015, Moras received in the Red Room of the Province of Verona the Award "Grande della Scala" by Presidente Giunta Provincia Antonio Pastorello, after the battle alongside his brother, who died from acute myeloid leukaemia last July.

On 20 February 2016, at the stadium Bentegodi, on the occasion of the derby between Hellas Verona F.C. and Chievo will host the "Save Moras" initiative, promoted by the Foundation to sensitize citizens on the importance of bone marrow donation and support for people affected by leukemia. "Save Moras" was founded by Vangelis Moras in memory of his brother Dimitris, who died in 2015 due to leukemia. During the match, both teams perform on their uniforms playing a patch with the logo of the "Save Moras"; all mesh used by the players during the competition will then be auctioned and the proceeds will be donated to the Foundation. In the interval between the 1st and the 2nd time, the boys of the project "CSI- The Great Challenge" will play in a mini derby wearing the jerseys of professional football players.
