Talk:Option contract

Consideration
You do not need consideration to Form an option.

(Xodoz (talk) 21:19, 17 May 2009 (UTC))
 * That's not what the article says and from Contract Law 101 I seem to remember that consideration is vital for any contract (along with an offer and acceptance). --kingboyk (talk) 16:41, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

 * You are correct. I have updated the article (albeit a decade later) to reflect your insighftul criticism. Streamline8988 (talk) 19:24, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Performance
Does an option contract require strict (exact) performance by the offeree or does the doctrine of substantial performance apply? If the option contract can be charachterized by a bilateral contract then substantial performace should do -- if unilateral, then only exact performace will do.

The problem becomes acute in renewal of rental leases where a condition precedent could be that "there are no breaches during the orginal term of the lease". If a small breach does occur (i.e., a late payment) and which is corrected quick, can the optionee revoke the option? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pravchaw (talk • contribs)

Merge with Option (law)
It seems to me that these two articles are talking about two different aspects of the same thing, at least from a legal standpoint. I can understand why it would be good to have a different article for options as used in financial markets, but to have two different articles on options as they exist with respect to ordinary transactions seems a bit redundant. --Eastlaw 06:57, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I would concur. There's just too many definitions of option running around and this seems like a sensible proposal to collapse two of them. Ronnotel 13:37, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I wouldnt totally agree that "option" in relation to contract should be merged with that of law generally, the reason for the vast definitions of "option" is merely that within the commercial / trusts are of law they have a differing context to that within contract. Contract "options" purely contain that of a unilateral contract and affect the law in this way, where as in commercial law it is required in a sale of goods respect, in more particular the hire - purchase of goods, indeed the meaning of "option" is wide in its nature, but is required to be this way. A simple definition would not provide enough scope for the differing areas of law. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I have added the merge tag. It's kindof funny that this sat here for two years without anyone caring, but yes, I concur it should be merged. --B (talk) 21:31, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Lines I need to reincorporate into article

 * According to Baseball Digest, he is the only player to field an apple. In one game the fans booed him, and one threw an apple that landed near his feet. He picked it up, and took a bite out of it, whereupon the booing stopped.

I actually did eventually find a reference for this, but I lost it. I will re-add this with the full story on it soon.

Queenston Mining

Queenston Mining, Inc. was a Canadian resource company focused on the exploration and development of gold deposits on “Proven Mine Trends” in geopolitically stable areas. The objectives of the Company were to expand upon its exploration areas to enlarge existing deposits and to target new discoveries, and to return to producer status through the development of its 100% owned properties.

Queenston Mining was purchased in 2012 by Osisko Mining

Queenston's company headquarters was located in Toronto, Ontario, and its two main properties were located in the Kirkland Lake Gold Camp, Ontario, and the Cadillac Gold Camp, Quebec.

Projects

 * Kirkland Lake
 * Upper Beaver Property
 * McBean-Anoki Property
 * Upper Canada Property
 * Lebel Property
 * Amalgamated Kirkland ("AK") Property
 * Joint Ventures
 * Cadillac
 * Pandora Property
 * Wood Pandora Property
 * Other Properties
 * Westhawk Property, Manitoba
 * Mishibishu Property, Ontario

Kirkland Lake
Kirkland Lake is one of the most well known historic gold camps in North America. This mining and lumbering community is located just a 6-hour drive from Toronto (about 580 km North). Gold was first discovered in 1906, in Swastika and Larder Lake but the first gold in the camp was produced at the Swastika mine in 1910. Production was continuous for 90 years, until 2000 when the Macassa Mine was closed. In 2002, Kirkland Lake Gold Inc. re-opened the Macassa Mine where they are currently producing gold. Some mines in the Kirkland Lake area have produced continuously for over 50 years and to date the region has produced more than 40 million ounces of gold. The camp ranks second in Canada, next only to Timmins with respect to total ounces of gold produced.

Queenston's main focus was an assemblage of gold properties in the historic Kirkland Lake gold camp, where it was undergoing a resurgence as a result of new discoveries made by Queenston and Kirkland Lake Gold Inc. Queenston's holdings included over 35 properties or over 230 km2. The primary area of focus was in Gauthier Township where the company was advancing five of its 100% owned gold properties (Upper Beaver, McBean, Anoki, Bidgood and Upper Canada) towards production. The goal was to outline enough of a mineral resource of gold to feed a central milling facility to be constructed in Gauthier Township. In addition to the production preparation scenario, in 2012 exploration continued to be a prime focus of the Company.

Cadillac
The Cadillac mining camp currently ranks as the top gold-producing region in Quebec. The first gold discovery was in 1924 on the O’Brien property which entered into production in 1932. Between 1936-1949 several other mines were brought into production including Pandora, Central Cadillac and Wood Cadillac. The camp did not produce again until 1979 when the Bousquet and Doyon mines started up. The subsequent start up at LaRonde, Bousquet 2 and Mouska marked the second mining era in the camp. Currently the camp has four producers in the Mouska, Doyon, Lapa and LaRonde.

Queenston maintained two past producing gold properties along the Cadillac Break adjacent to the LaRonde and Lapa gold mines operated by Agnico Eagle mines. The Wood-Pandora property was a 50-50 joint venture with Globex Mining and the Pandora was 100% owned. In 2012 the joint venture continued drilling to further evaluate the economic potential of the Ironwood deposit.

The 1971 Atlantic release Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway is a duet album by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway produced by Joel Dorn and Arif Mardin.

Flack and Hathaway were both solo artists on the Atlantic roster who'd enjoyed critical acclaim but - particularly for Flack - limited commercial success. Both graduates of Howard University although Flack's attendance there pre-dated Hathaway's, the two singers' careers had overlapped: Flack had included Hathaway compositions on her First Take and Chapter Two albums with the latter also featuring Hathaway as pianist, arranger and background vocalist. It was Jerry Wexler who suggested a joint venture might consolidate Flack and Hathaway's popularity.

The first single from Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway was a version of "You've Got a Friend" recorded before the single release of the James Taylor version: both tracks debuted on the Hot 100 dated 29 May 1971 - marking Flack's first chart appearance - and although Taylor's version reached #1 the Flack/Hathaway duet ascended as high as #29 and was a Top Ten R&B hit at #8. (The B-side "Gone Away" was a Chapter Two track written by Hathaway.)

The second single from the duets album was a remake of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" which was a #30 R&B hit peaking on the Hot 100 at #71.

It was the album's third single "Where Is the Love" - released April 1972 almost a year after the album itself - which would be the smash hit, largely due to Flack having had her solo career breakthrough with "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face".

Although Hathaway had enjoyed more solo success than had Flack prior to their teaming up his subsequent solo career was desultory with no high-profile success prior to his re-teaming with Flack for "The Closer I Get to You" in 1978. Hathaway had recorded two songs for a second duet album with Flack - which became the Roberta Flack Featuring Donny Hathaway album - at the time of his death on 13 January 1979.

Track listing

 * 1) "I (Who Have Nothing)" (Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, Carlo Donida) (5:00)
 * 2) "You've Got a Friend" (Carole King) (2:34)
 * 3) "Baby I Love You" (3:24)
 * 4) "Be Real Black for Me" (3:30)
 * 5) "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" (Barry Mann, Phil Spector, Cynthia Weil) (6:36)
 * 6) "For All We Know" (J. Fred Coots, Sam M. Lewis) (3:38)
 * 7) "Where Is the Love" (2:43)
 * 8) "When Love Has Grown" (Ralph MacDonald, William Salter) (3:31)
 * 9) "Come Ye Disconsolate" (4:50)
 * 10) "Mood" (7:00)

Hyde Park, Perth

Hyde Park (formerly Third Swamp Reserve) is an inner-city park in Perth, the state capital of Western Australia. It is located in the north-east corner of the suburb of Perth – 2 km north of the central business district – surrounded by Vincent, William, Glendower and Throssell Streets.

Facilities include: public toilets, playground equipment, barbecues, drinking fountains, pavilion, stage area, fitness equipment and a sealed walking path of around 800 m in length ringing the lake. Electricity is available, which is used, for example, to power temporary fairground rides.

Locality
Hyde Park is in the City of Vincent. It has a lake feature in the middle which is separated into two basins. The park is popular with people walking around, weddings, picnics and barbeques. The park has 17 zones that are available to hire for events.

Hyde Park Fair
The Hyde Park Fair is held annually in the park, and is one of Perth's longest running free community events. The event was originally known as the Hyde Park Festival, and was first held in 1968. The Festival ended in 1985, but was resurrected in 1988 as the Hyde Park Fair, run by the Rotary Club of North Perth.

History

Prior to European settlement, the area was known to the local Noongar people as Boodjamooling. The area was originally approximately midway along a series of wetlands that stretched from Claisebrook Cove through to Herdsman Lake and included Lake Monger. The lakes and the area in which they resided were collectively known as the Great Lakes District. Today, only a small proportion of those wetlands remain.

After the establishment of the Swan River Colony in 1829, the European settlers gave it the name Third Swamp. In 1897, 15.5 ha of Third Swamp was gazetted as a public park by Lyall Hall and two years later renamed Hyde Park.

Hyde Park Lakes Restoration Project
During the late 1980s, a significant level of public concern began to develop on various fronts relating mainly to the environmental health of the lakes, along with the reduction in aesthetics and negative effects to the local flora and fauna.

The lakes act as a stormwater compensation basin and have been naturally recharged via groundwater seepage and stormwater run-off. The lakes were adversely affected by a changing weather pattern, hotter summers and low rainfall turning them into a sludgy swamp during the summer. This in conjunction with the pressure on scarce and finite water resources meant that a long-term viable engineered solution was required to maintain a water body year round.

After thorough investigation, a master plan was developed and the Hyde Park Lakes Restoration Project was completed in June 2012. The works help ensure the lakes provide a pristine environment year round with the addition of endemic plant species thereby providing a better habitat for the wildlife.

The existing lake wall was repaired and retained and a new lower lake wall was constructed to reduce the lakes' overall surface area by approximately 15%, designed to reduce recharge volumes and allow for better management.

Vegetated "beach" areas were constructed (one at the causeway corner of each lake) and planted with native vegetation to assist in removing nutrients from the lake water and to address the once stagnant areas of the lakes where rubbish accumulated.

Flora and fauna
Sloping grass areas run down to two central groundwater lakes. Shade is provided by mature introduced trees:

 * Plane Trees - around the lakes
 * Moreton Bay Figs - lawn area
 * Port Jackson Fig - lawn area
 * Pines - around the boundary
 * Jacarandas - south-east corner
 * Unusual tree species: swamp cypress, red cedar, bunya pine
 * Remnant indigenous tree species: Eucalyptus and Melaleuca

There are about 300 southwestern snake-necked turtles living in the park.

Several iconic plantings have occurred in Hyde Park over the years, including the avenue of plane trees surrounding the lakes that were planted between 1897 and 1899, and the grove of jacarandas in the south east corner of the park in 1921. More recent times have seen the establishment of two native garden beds on the northern side of the park around a stand of original jarrah trees.

 * I don't think the nomination statement is accurate. There is no evidence that Bio Vision (which ironically may actually be notable) has ever used this term - it doesn't appear on their website for example.  And the two sentences about the company have now been removed so it definitely isn't an ad for them anymore, and I doubt the company actually had anything to do with the article to begin with.  That said, the term "senescent toxin" seems to be an invention of the article author - it is not known anywhere outside Wikipedia and mirrors.  As such, this is original research and should be deleted on those grounds unless someone thinks the text could be used productively at Senescence or a related article.  Pinging  who accepted this at AfC for input. --ThaddeusB (talk) 22:06, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * If it is unknown anywhere but on Wikipedia, why would the information be incorporated into an article? MicroPaLeo (talk)
 * The term is unknown, the information is not. --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:18, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. Absolutely no usage of this phrase in the literature. The article itself doesn't make a lot of sense, and the references are at best loosely connected to the statements they supposedly support. It looks like a SCIgen creation. Opabinia regalis (talk) 05:08, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Forgot to mention that BioVision does sell a Senescence detection kit - as do other similar vendors - but it's an ordinary lab reagent and doesn't have anything to do with whatever this article is talking about.

So, I just finished rewriting much of the article, which involved the creation of a seperate plot section (that really needed it's own section) and rewriting the gameplay section, and the massive expansion of both. What it needs now are citations; I'm not sure if the game itself can be cited, but I believe that walkthroughs of the game could possibly be cited to back up either sections. The features list has also been integrated into the introduction of the article itself. --A.K.R. (talk) 12:20, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

US History/Nixon and Indochina

Violence and the Election of 1968
There were 3 major assassinations in the 60s, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy. Many conspiracy theories regarding the assassinations are still popular, especially those suspecting government interference, which had a profound effect on how some Americans viewed their government, helping further divide Americans.

After the assassination of Dr. King in Memphis, riots broke out in over 100 cities. Troops were called in to control the mobs of people. Stunned and saddened by Dr. King's death, the nation worried about renewed homeland violence.

Racism
The late 1960s and early 1970s saw a number of significant mobilizations against racism. The first sizable demonstration of Asians took place in 1972 over yet more anti-immigration laws. There were increasing numbers of protests against the National Front (NF), which was slowly building support by 1974. There was also a host of protests and campaigns against police harassment and racist educational policies. It was the concentration of anti-racist forces in a campaign against the NF, led by the Anti Nazi League (ANL), that shattered the upsurge of racism. In alliance with Rock Against Racism it was able to put on not just two huge carnivals, but countless events that drew black and white young people together.

Robert Kennedy is Assassinated

In the race for the Democratic nomination, Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, and Robert Francis Kennedy (brother of John F.) were competing in a close match. In most primaries, Kennedy edged out McCarthy, and meanwhile, Humphrey garnered the support of Democratic party leaders, who chose the delegates to the national convention. In June 1968, Kennedy won the primary in California, the state with the most delegates to the convention. Bobby Kennedy was trying to become president and follow in his brother's footsteps. At a celebration rally on the night of the victory, Kennedy was shot and killed by Sirhan B. Sirhan, who claimed that he did not remember shooting Bobby Kennedy. Sirhan shot Kennedy with .22 pistol. Kennedy was hit multiple times and five others were wounded. The nation was sent reeling into another shock from the new violence. Kennedy's body lay in repose at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York for two days before a funeral mass was held on June 8. His body was interred near his brother John at Arlington National Cemetery. His death prompted the protection of presidential candidates by the United States Secret Service. Hubert Humphrey went on to win the Democratic nomination for the presidency, but ultimately narrowly lost the election to Richard Nixon.

The Democratic Convention
Because of his support among leaders and delegates from the Democratic Party, it appeared that Humphrey had enough votes to win the nomination at the convention in Chicago. Humphrey, however, was a supporter of Johnson's policy in Vietnam, so he was perceived as a war supporter.

Anti-war Democrats, most of whom had supported Kennedy, felt left out of the convention. Angry, they flocked to Chicago to protest Humphrey's nomination. On the first and second nights of the convention, the protesters were generally subdued and the Chicago police made few arrests. On the third night, however, protesters planned to march to the convention site to protest.

Fearing another outbreak of violence, the mayor of Chicago made the police block the protesters at the hall. When they tried a different route, protesters were blocked again. Outraged, protesters started throwing objects at the police. The police threw tear gas into the crowd and charged the protesters, beating some and taking others into custody.

Humphrey won the nomination, but the violence hurt his campaign. The nation saw all the anger and outrage on television. It seemed that Democrats could not control their own party.

The Election
Nixon, the former Vice President, had quietly been nominated by the Republicans as their candidate. Nixon claimed to represent the "silent majority" in America; that is, those that had begun to take on a more conservative approach to politics and disliked the "hippie" and civil rights movements. Nixon also promised to end the war in Vietnam, although he never said he would win it.

Because of his promises about Vietnam, Nixon was able to gain support from antiwar Democrats and Republicans alike. In a huge political comeback (Nixon was defeated in the election of 1960 and lost the race for the governor of California in 1962), Nixon barely won the popular vote, gaining only 500,000 more votes than Humphrey. He won by a larger margin in the electoral college, gaining 301 votes, while Humphrey only had 191.

Also note that Nixon made the statement on November 3rd 1969, almost a year after his election. He cribbed it from a speech his vice president, Spiro Agnew, had made on May 9th of that year. Agnew's writers may have been taking it from President Kennedy's 1956 book Profiles in Courage. The original phrase goes back to Edward Young's 1721 poem "The Revenge": "'Life is the desert, life the solitude; Death joins us to the great majority.'"

It became an in-joke among Democrats and protesters to hear Agnew and Nixon claim to represent the dead, perhaps as envoys of the Undead. This was only two years after Caesar Romero's Night of the Living Dead came out.

Foreign Policy
Nixon, in an attempt to bring stability to the nation, made many changes in foreign policy. He appointed Henry Kissinger as his national security advisor and later as his Secretary of State. Both believed in the philosophy of realpolitik, which put national interests in front of leaders' political ideologies and reasoned that peace could only come from negotiations, not war. During Nixon's presidency, he and Kissinger would work to try to ease the cold war.

Vietnamization

Nixon promised to ease the United States out of the Vietnam war, and for the most part, he kept his promise. He and Kissinger called their plan to hand the war over to the South Vietnamese: Vietnamization. By the end of 1970, the number of troops in Vietnam had fallen from 540,000 in the beginning of 1969 to 335,000. By January of 1970, the Vietnam conflict had become the longest in American history and, with 40,000 killed and over 250,000 wounded, the third most costly foreign war in the nation's experience. In 1971 there were only 60,000 troops in Vietnam.

In order to compensate for the loss of troops in Vietnam, Nixon hiked up the bombing campaign. The Ho Chi Minh Trail, which bordered and sometimes ran into the countries of Laos and Cambodia, was bombed. Nixon wanted to keep his public image as a peace President, so the bombing of Cambodia was kept a secret. The Vietnam War was one of the first wars to be publicized on television. This raised awareness to Americans around the country because they were more aware of the inhumane acts of war.

The war seemed to be fought both over in Asia and back in the states. Thousands of protesters mostly young college students were against the war and were beginning to get war weariness during the later years of the war. Many of the youth were drafted to fight overseas during this war, the lucky ones were able to escape if they could afford a college education.

The Vietnam War polarized opinion in the United States. Some people believed the war was immoral, others that it would not serve US interests while some felt it was necessary to stop the advance (as they saw it) of communism.

The Vietnam war brought both violence but also opened up many job opportunities as well both at home and overseas. The draft was issued and thousands of men were sent to go fight in Vietnam along with thousands of other volunteer soldiers. With all these men fighting overseas many small businesses and factories were in need of employing new workers which opened up many job opportunities for other Americans at this time.

The End of the War

In the fall of 1972, it seemed that peace was at hand. But at the last minute, the negotiations fell through because the South Vietnamese refused to have North Vietnamese forces in their country. Nixon decided to launch a last aggressive bombing campaign to try to scare the North Vietnamese into stopping the war, but they were persistent and continued to fight. In the beginning of 1975, the North Vietnamese launched a final major offensive. The South Vietnamese army collapsed, and soon, Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, was in the Vietcong's grasp. Americans scrambled to evacuate from the country, and on April 29, Americans were evacuating by helicopter off the roof of the American embassy. In the early hours of April 30, 1975, Saigon fell to the Vietcong. Soon after, South Vietnam surrendered.

Upon return, the American troops had no welcome. Many Americans, angered at the outcome of the war or just angry that the war ever had to happen, just wanted to forget the ordeal. Vietnam lay in ruins, and almost 1.4 million Vietnamese lives (on either side) were claimed. Also, 58,000 Americans had died, 300,000 were wounded, and the U.S. had wasted $150 billion on the war.

China
In 1969, Nixon wanted to ease the tensions of the Cold War to help the nation heal from the tragedy of Vietnam. He and Kissinger used realpolitik, the practice of basing decisions on the interests of the nation rather than the leaders' beliefs, to shape a new foreign policy. Nixon formed a foreign policy plan of détente, a plan of relaxing international tensions. Nixon's ultimate goal in his new plan was to achieve a so-called "balance of power" between the U.S., Europe, Soviet Union, China, and Japan so that no one nation could grow too strong.

To kick off his new plan, Nixon began to express friendliness to the People's Republic of China. The United States had severed ties with China after communists took control of the government in a political coup d'etat (a sudden change of government by force) in 1949. In 1970, Nixon began hinting at new relations with China, and he stopped referring to the country as "Red China," which was an offensive term for the nation. By increasing relations with China, Nixon hoped that the Soviets would become more cooperative in talks with the U.S. because it would fear a U.S.-China alliance.

Realizing the change in U.S. sentiment, China invited a U.S. table tennis team to visit the country in April 1971, and a week later, the U.S. opened trade between the two countries. After sending Kissinger on a secret visit to China, Nixon announced that he would go to Beijing, the Chinese capital. In February 1972, Nixon finally came to Beijing. Pictures of him at the Great Wall and attending Chinese banquets were in international news. In another seven years, Chinese relations would be fully restored.

The Soviet Union
Nixon was right about the Soviet Union. Fearing a Chinese alliance with America, Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev agreed to meet with Nixon in Moscow in May of 1972. Again, pictures of Nixon with communist leaders filled the news. While in Moscow, Nixon signed the SALT I Treaty, or the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty. The treaty limited the number of nuclear arms that the Soviet Union and the U.S. could possess.

Feeling that the Soviet Union was in scientific decline, Brezhnev agreed with the U.S. to work with it in trade and information. This way, the Soviet Union could also gain access to desperately needed American grain. As a result of the talk, the Arms Race slowed and international tensions eased.

Kent Four and Jackson Two
Nixon tried to end the war through peace talks with North Vietnam, but generally, these stalled because the North Vietnamese had a wait and see attitude towards the war. They believed that opposition to the war within America would eventually grow so strong that Nixon would be forced to remove American troops from the country.

Nixon tried to appeal to his "silent majority" and renew support for the war, but then, Cambodia fell into a civil war between Communist and non-Communist forces. Nixon decided to send troops into Cambodia to destroy Communist strongholds, and Americans were outraged that their leader, who had strived for an end to the war, had attacked a neutral country. Opposition, especially in colleges, grew stronger.

Background
This was especially true in Kent State University in Ohio. On May 1st, Students began protesting, resulting in some broken windows downtown, and riot police retaliating with tear gas. When students burned down the ROTC building on the Kent State campus, and then cut the hoses of firemen to prevent them from extinguishing it on May 2nd, the Ohio governor declared martial law, or emergency military rule. The national guard responded by forcing everyone on campus, including non-students, into dorms. By May 3rd, many outsiders had arrived to observe the protests. On the night of May 3rd protests resumed in hopes of meeting with officials, instead they were met with more tear gas.

"They’re worse than the "Brown Shirts" and the communist element and also the “night riders” in the Vigilantes. They’re the worst type of people that we harbor in America"

Kent Four
Classes resumed on Monday May 4th, where two thousand people staged an initially peaceful rally on the Kent commons, despite the rally being banned. The National Guard troops told the students to disband, and shot tear gas into the crowd, though the winds that day made it ineffective, and the agitated crowd had begun to throw rocks at the guardsmen. Thus the troops thus advanced with bayonets to push the majority of protestors into a fenced in field, while taking a position on a hilltop. For unknown reasons, the troops then turned around and 28 guardsmen fired for 13 seconds on a smaller group, taking between 61 and 67 shots in total. Four students were killed and thirteen others were wounded.

Furious and in disbelief at the attack, several hundred protestors regrouped as National Guardsmen retreated to the commons. By this point, it was clear that those remaining were willing to die for their cause, and the National Guardsmen were willing to fire on students. Fearing the worst, Faculty pleaded with the National Guard to allow them to speak to the remaining students, and after 20 minutes of impassioned pleas were able to disperse those remaining.

"I am begging you right now, if you don’t disperse right now they’re going to move in and it can only be a slaughter!"

The University President and the County Prosecutor both ordered the campus closed following the shooting. Despite this, Professors secretly finished the semester using facilities at other nearby colleges, and by using their own homes to house and teach students.

Aftermath
Initially, much of the American public sided with the National Guardsmen.

Jackson Two
Violence again struck at Jackson State in Mississippi. After a night of campus violence, police were called in to control the students, but eventually police opened fire on the students and two were killed. Witnesses recalled the police recklessly blasting the school's residence hall with their guns. The police claimed to be defending themselves from snipers.

Refugees
Because people's homes and fields were destroyed in the war in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos thousands of refugees flooded out of the country on boats. Many came to the United States, but they weren't met with open arms by most Americans.

The Hmong people of Laos had sided with America in the war effort against communists, and had to flee following communist retaliation for their involvement in the war effort. The Hmong began significant immigration to America in 1976, mostly to California and Minnesota. Their culture of traditional agriculture did not translate well to modern mechanized agriculture, but over time they slowly began to adapt. Hmong did not initially fare well in American Hospitals, but their initial poor experiences lead to medical professionals improving communication between doctors and patients.

Cambodians refugees fleeing the genocide of the Khmer Rouge often settled in California, where they had a profound influence on the doughnut culture of Los Angeles.

The Women's Movement
In the 1970s, women in “The Women’s Movement” claimed that they had achieved a great deal through all their efforts in the past decades. These achievements consisted of: married women receiving the right to have their own credit in their own name instead of just in their husband’s name, unmarried women receiving the right to get birth control, women receiving the right to serve on a jury panel, and women receiving the right to list their help wanted ads alongside men’s help wanted ads.

One of the goals these feminists had set was to change the view and laws on rape. Before this time, psychiatrists would claim that “A woman sometimes plays a big part in provoking her attacker by. . . her overall attitude and appearance.” Statements and beliefs like this made it easy for people to have a less sympathetic view towards victims of rape. However, by the end of the 1970s, activists worked on state levels to create crisis centers for rape victims, educate people such as police and hospital security about how to handle and take care of women who have been raped. These women even succeeded in changing some laws.

The Case
In March 1970, a Texas woman by the name of Norma McCorvey, unmarried and pregnant, decided to sue the state of Texas by the recommendation of Sarah Weddington, a young attorney. At the time, the vast majority of the other states had similar laws. At the time, Texas had a law in place that banned abortion, with the exception of women with life-threatening pregnancies. As part of standard court procedure, McCorvey was renamed Jane Roe, because she did not want her identity to be known by the court.

With rulings favoring both Roe and Dallas Country district attorney Henry Wade in various levels of the courts, the case eventually landed in the Supreme Court. Argued first on December 13, 1971 and again on October 11, 1972 (at the court's request), Weddington contended that the Texas law (and therefore all abortion banning laws) were in violation of the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments, which gave a citizen the right to privacy, and that abortion laws violated the privacy of women.

The case was decided on January 22, 1973, with Harry Blackmun writing the ruling. With a 7-2 majority, the Court ruled that the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments did indeed collectively give a citizen the right to privacy, and that abortion laws did indeed violate the right to privacy of women.

Roe v. Wade was decided primarily on the Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution, a part of the Bill of Rights. The Court's decision in this case was that the Ninth Amendment, in stating that "the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people," protected a person's right to privacy.

Having recently appointed Warren Burger (the Chief Justice), Harry Blackmun, Lewis Powell, and William Rehnquist, Nixon was disappointed in the ruling. All of them Republicans, Nixon had presumed that the judges would rule conservatively. Only Rehnquist would dissent with the majority. The other dissenting vote was Byron White, who had been appointed by John F. Kennedy.

The Effects
The ruling continued the abortion divide that still exists today. It gave the general pro-choice sentiment among the more liberal and progressive Democratic Party and the pro-life sentiment among more conservative and religious Republican Party. The case was reopened in 1992, only to reaffirm the ruling.

Roe vs Wade was not only a turning point in the legalization of abortion, it was a turning point in many other debates. It caused people to ask when a person becomes a person. To some, it was a symbol of liberation and freedom because women could control when or if they had a full pregnancy, which is no small burden, and by extension women could have more control over her life. To others allowing abortions was a violation of the teachings taught by their religion, with many critics of abortion calling the procedure murder, and protesting outside clinics that performed it or lobbying for laws that limited the ability of clinics to operate.

American Indians
Many American Indians, especially those who were a part of the American Indian Movement conducted a number of protests and occupations, notably occupying Alcatraz Island in 1969 and Plymouth Rock on Thanksgiving Day, 1970.

Domestic Policy
The Environmental Protection Agency was founded in 1970 during the Nixon Administration to help more responsibly manage environmental resources.

The Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 transformed the Post Office Department into the United States Postal Service.

In 1971 the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, also known as Amtrak, was established, combining 20 passenger rail services into one publicly supported national network.

McGovern's Campaign
In 1971, Nixon had many doubts about the 1972 election. But this was before Nixon and Kissinger had vastly improved relations with the Soviet Union and China. By the time those tasks had been accomplished, much of the nation approved of Nixon. Even more in his favor was the Democratic disunity and the controversial nomination of George McGovern. The positions of McGovern, including immediately ending the Vietnam War, and creating a guaranteed minimum income, were seen by many at the time as too radical. Southern Democrats went so far as to form an "Anybody but McGovern" coalition during the Democratic Party primaries.

The White House Plumbers
Even so, Nixon's paranoia and the stress of the presidential campaign would conspire to send the nation reeling and his administration into crisis. Much later, it would be found that Nixon's campaign would stretch the truth, the law, and ethics.

To start his campaign, Nixon asked a group of only the most loyal aides to create an "enemies list," a list of political opponents to the Nixon administration. Then, Nixon asked the IRS and the FBI to investigate those on the enemies list, and justified his actions by saying that he believed that those investigated were a threat to national security. Nixon was slowly changing his campaign from a campaign for the presidency to a campaign against enemies. Nixon was the renominated Republican nominee running with Sprio T. Agnew. They were running against the democratic nominee, Senator George McGovern of South Dakota. McGovern was running with Senator Thomas Eagleton for vice president. Eagleton was shortly replaced with Sargent Shriver after the press discovering Eagleton had been treated for psychological problems. Nixon was also running against longtime segregationist, George Wallace. On May 15, 1972, Wallace became a victim of an assassination attempt that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Wallace was shot by twenty-one year old, Arthur Bremer. Bremer had also shot three others and was sentenced to 63 years in prison.

Using some of the money allotted for his campaign, Nixon funded a secret group of "plumbers," who "plugged" information leaks that were damaging to the administration. Money also funded dirty tricks against Nixon's Democratic opponents.

In November of 1972, an unknowing public headed to the polls to cast votes for the President. Nixon won the election by a landslide, with almost 61 percent of the popular vote and 520 out of 537 electoral votes.

Things were quiet for a while after the election. In late 1973, countries in the Middle East imposed an embargo, or refusal to trade, on oil to the U.S. after the U.S. supported Israel in a short war against Egypt (the most powerful country in the region) and Syria. Prices for gas shot up in the U.S. and stations had to ration the gas, putting restrictions like "ten gallons per customer." Many people were laid off. Nixon worked to help relations with the Middle East, and in March 1974, the embargo was lifted. He was also able to get the U.S. out of Vietnam. Because of his work, Americans generally approved of Nixon.

Voters did not know that a little while after midnight on June 17, 1972, a security guard named Frank Wills had been patrolling in the parking garage of the Wartergate complex, the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee, and found tape on the locks to doors leading into the building. He removed the tape and thought little of it, but an hour later, he would find it replaced. He would call the police, and they would arrest five robbers inside the complex.

The subsequent arrests of "plumbers" Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt would slowly but surely send tremors through the presidency. Initially, the Nixon administration denied that it had anything to do with the two plumbers or the bugs that the five men were trying to plant in the telephones of the Democratic headquarters (bugs are telephone listening devices, commonly used by spies and others in the field of espionage) when investigators gathered info that suggested it did. Ronald Ziegler, Nixon's press secretary, decried the break-in a "third rate burglary."

Hearing of the incident at the Watergate complex, the Washington Post, a prominent Washington D.C. newspaper with a national circulation, started publishing a series of articles linking Nixon to the burglary. Also, after questioning, one of the burglars confessed that the White House lied about its involvement in the break-in. Still, only about half of Americans had even heard of the robbery.

The Saturday Night Massacre
In early 1973, the Senate voted to hold hearings on the Watergate break-in. They asked the Department of Justice to hire a special prosecutor outside of the Nixon-influenced department to investigate Watergate. Slowly, Cox and Senator Sam Ervin of North Carolina would reveal the massive scandal going on in the White house. In May, former deputy White House counsel John Dean, a source close to Nixon, would testify that there indeed had been a cover up and that it had been directed by Nixon himself.

The extent of Nixon's desperation would become evident in October 1973 when Cox ordered that Nixon hand over tapes from a secret taping system that recorded conversations in the President's office. He refused on executive privilege grounds, contending that the release of the tapes would compromise national security.

When Cox tried to get an injunction for the release of the tapes, Nixon ordered Elliot Richardson, the attorney general, to fire Cox (after all, it was the Justice Department that had hired Cox), but Richardson refused and resigned. Nixon then ordered Deputy Attorney General William Rickelshaus to fire Cox, but he, like Richardson, refused and resigned. Finally, Nixon got a minor Justice Department official, Solicitor General Robert Bork, to fire Cox. The series of resignations and the firing of Cox became known as the Saturday Night Massacre. The public was outraged.

At the height of the Watergate scandal, the Department of Justice uncovered another: Vice President Spiro Agnew had accepted bribes as the governor of Maryland. He resigned on October 10, 1973. Nixon nominated Michigan congressman Gerald Ford as his Vice President, who was quickly confirmed.

Impeachment Proceedings & Resignation

The House of Representatives decided to initiate the impeachment process as public outrage mounted over the Saturday Night Massacre. If a majority voted to charge the President of high crimes and misdemeanors, he would be tried by the Senate and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court would preside over the trial. If 67 of the 100 senators voted to find Nixon guilty, he would be expelled from office.

In April of 1974, Nixon decided to release heavily edited transcripts of the tapes to try to improve his image. This only led to more public protest, and the Supreme Court eventually ruled that Nixon had to hand over the tapes. After a conversation on one of the tapes revealed that Nixon had ordered a cover up of the robbery, the public was stunned and the House mulled impeachment. Before any more damage could be done, Nixon resigned on August 9, 1974. He would be the first and (so far) only president to resign and Gerald Ford would become the only president not elected to the office of president or vice president.

The impact of the scandal was wide and far-reaching. Among other things, Congress passed a series of laws sharply limiting a president's power to wage undeclared war, limiting campaign spending and strengthening public access to government information. Also, it proved that the Constitution's system of checks and balances could work to bring an abusive or tyrannical president out of power. But by far the biggest impact of the crisis was the loss of the public's faith and trust in politicians and elected officials; cynicism concerning the ethics, behavior, and motives of elected officials would be deep and lasting. Because of Nixon's party affiliation and the outrage over a preemptive pardon that Ford granted Nixon after he became president, people associated corruption with the Republican party. Decades of gerrymandering by New Dealers and their successors had assured nearly-impregnable overwhelming Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress since the 1930s. Fallout from Watergate assured that this trend would continue in the midterm elections of November 1974. The Republicans would pay the ultimate price for Watergate in 1976, with Ford losing the White House to a relative political newcomer.

Cookbook:Albanian Vegetable Pie

| Albanian Cuisine

Albanian vegetable pie (Albanian: Byrek Shqipëtar me perime), is an Albanian recipe for cooking pies. Albanian pies are generally made of thin pastry leaves which can be rolled out at home or bought as filo dough at a supermarket. Most of the pies prepared by Albanian cooks are not sweet; instead, pie fillings are almost always savory. Thus, a piece of such a pie may well serve as the main dish of a meal.

Ingredients
Serves 4–6:
 * 1 cup (240 ml) oil, preferably olive oil
 * 1½ packets (or about 30 ea.) filo pastry leaves
 * 1½ pounds (680 g) spinach, chopped
 * 1 cup (240 ml) diced feta cheese
 * ½ cup (120 ml) chopped green onions
 * 2–3 eggs
 * 1½ tsp (7.5 ml) salt

Procedure

 * 1) Brush a medium-sized baking pan with some of the oil, and start layering the pastry leaves inside. First, lay two leaves, sprinkle or brush with oil, then lay two more leaves, and repeat the procedure until half of the leaves are in place. Make sure that they cover the pan by hanging them about one inch over the edges of the pan.
 * 2) Sprinkle spinach with salt, then mix well by hand. Add the feta cheese, oil, onions, eggs and salt, and spread this mixture over the already laid pastry leaves. Finish by covering the spinach with the rest of the pastry leaves, repeating the first-half procedure.
 * 3) Roll the hanging edges of the bottom leaves over the pie (think of a pizza crust).
 * 4) Sprinkle top with oil and bake moderately at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
 * 5) Serve hot, accompanied with buttermilk, or beaten yogurt, thinned down in cold water or with chilled stewed prunes. Sometimes a green salad adds to the meal!

Notes, tips, and variations

 * A medium-sized, round baking pan is recommended because it's more authentic, but any medium-sized baking pan will do.

Peter D. Welch

Peter D. Welch was a scientist and researcher in the area of computer simulation, as well as applied mathematics, applied statistics, and computer science. A former IBM researcher, he is best known for his work with Welch's method to reduce signal noise.

Education
Welch attended University of Chicago. He received his M.S. in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin (1951), M.S. in Physics from New Mexico State University (1956) and Ph.D. in mathematical statistics from Columbia University (1963).

Career
Welch joined IBM Research at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, where he conducted research and development for over three decades. At IBM Research he worked in the areas of speech recognition, spectral estimation, queueing theory, seismic signal processing, fast Fourier methodology, pattern recognition, computer and communication system performance modeling, simulation output analysis, and graphics system design.

Welch played a role in promoting simulation as a rigorous discipline during his service as the Simulation Department Area Editor of Operations Research (1983-1987). Welch's paper on the "use of fast Fourier transform for the estimation of power spectra" or Welch's method, has been cited over 5,000 times and remains widely used to reduce noise caused by imperfect and finite data.

Welch died in 2023, at the age of 94.

Awards
Welch received the Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences (INFORMS) Simulation Society "Distinguished Service Award" in 2010 and its "Lifetime Professional Achievement Award" in 2013. The INFORMS Lifetime Professional Achievement Award cites Welch's 62-year career marked by "contributions of fundamental importance not only in the field of computer simulation but also in the broader fields of applied mathematics, applied statistics, computer science." Since the mid-1970s, states INFORMS, "Peter has made groundbreaking contributions to the theory and practice of computer simulation, to the dissemination of knowledge in that field, and to the development of simulation-related software systems."

Table layout
This list (the first of the dramatic tv series lists) is a little different because there were so few series in the 1970s and 1980s, that creating a separate section for each individual year of the 70s and 80s didn't make sense; therefore, series for these two decades were listed together as a block under each decade. But this, in turn, made the placement of "Year" as the first column somewhat confusing (e.g. 1984 appeared before 1981 because CBS Schoolbreak Special [alpha "C"] premiered in 1984, and Dynasty [alpha "D"] premiered in 1981). So to mitigate any confusion, I changed the Year column to the last column. Now when a reader sees this list, the first detail they see is the name of a 1970s and 1980s series. To harmonize the entire list, the Year column in each section was also moved. Pyxis Solitary  (yak). L not Q. 09:21, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Tatort entry is misleading
The German TV series Tatort isn't a single TV series, but rather a collection of feature films. They can be grouped into sub-series by detective teams most of the time, though. The problem is that all of the characters mentioned here weren't introduced in the 70s, but much later:

 * Rubin and Karow first appeared in 2015.
 * Flückinger and Ritschard first appeared in 2011.
 * Grosz was introduced alongside Falke in 2016.
 * Linda Selb has only been a minor character so far (since 2016).

I am not sure where to put this information instead, though.

--Chaosflaws (talk) 14:18, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmm. That's a tricky one, Chaosflaws. The page for Torort says "Tatort ("Crime scene") is a German language police procedural television series that has been running continuously since 1970 with some 30 feature-length episodes per year, which makes it the longest-running German TV drama...When Tatort was developed as a series of weekly feature film-long local crime stories, the stated concept was used to distribute financial and organizational efforts...Apart from the unique joint-pooling system, the series is also characterised by the episode length of around 90 minutes, which allows for more in-depth and psychological fleshing out of the characters." So maybe it could go on List of feature films with LGBT characters too? It sounds like it a TV series, but also a collection of feature films? That article isn't the best sourced, but that's what I'm getting from it. Maybe adding a note that the characters appeared more recently, as you note, would be a good idea so people aren't confused in the process. Historyday01 (talk) 17:15, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Yankees deal
It's pretty much a lock that he's going to sign with the Yankees, but until he officially does so, he is still a free agent. Tentative/prospective deals should not be taken as fact until they're officially announced. No source has said that the contract has been signed yet. Brad E. Williams 21:39, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Someone that knows what they are doing should give this man a gold medal decal thing under his picture.

Smartest heckling I ever heard at a baseball game
Back in the early to mid-1990s when Mientkiewicz was at FSU, I was in grad school at Clemson and working on my MA in History; my thesis pertained to baseball history. I love the Tigers baseball team and went to all their home games the entire time I was in Clemson. The visiting team's dugout is on the third base side; I always sat pretty much behind home plate. This was also during the time that Bud Light had their, "Yes I am!" ad campaign, which had started out with the guy pretending to be a doctor with a surname of similar ethnicity to Doug's in order to nab the doctor's limo, which was confirmed to hold Bud Light. If y'all haven't seen the ads, they are available on YouTube. So one game against FSU, in between innings, one group of Clemson students over by the FSU dugout shouts out, "Hey, aren't you Doug Mientkiewicz?" and another group shouts in response, "YES I AM!" I thought it was hilarious. I'm probably the only person who remembers it. Kelelain (talk) 16:40, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
