Victor Morales (politician)

Victor M. Morales (born November 15, 1949) is an American teacher who was the Democratic Party's nominee for the 1996 United States Senate election in Texas in 1996. Morales was a 46-year-old Vietnam War veteran and civics teacher at Poteet High School in Mesquite, Texas when his students dared him to run for Senate and he did.

Early life and education
Morales was born November 15, 1949, in Racine, Wisconsin. He was in the navy 1970-72 and served in the Philippines and Vietnam during the Vietnam War. He graduated from Texas A&I University in 1976. He was a city council member in Crandall, Texas. He danced competitively.

Political career
Morales, who had never run for public office before, pulled a major upset in the primary by defeating three politicians: U.S. Congressman John Wiley Bryant, U.S. Congressman Jim Chapman, and former State Supreme Court litigator John Odam. He campaigned around the state in his pickup truck. His campaign slogan was "Porque no? or "Why Not?" His only previous political experience was a two-year term on the City Council of his hometown of Crandall, Texas. In the March run-off, he defeated Bryant with 51% of the vote. He became the first minority candidate in Texas history to become a United States Senate nominee from either major party. Despite having no staff, raising only $15,000, and not accepting any special interest money he obtained 2.5 million votes.

Exit polls showed that Morales won African Americans' votes (79% to 19%) and Latinos (79% to 20%) respectively. Though Morales lost, his effort was an important moment for the Hispanic community. "It's just rejuvenated the community, paving the way for future candidates ... there's a lot of excitement because of what he was able to do."

Personal life
Morales was of Mexican descent. His daughter, Julia Morales, is a sports anchor and reporter with the Houston Astros.

Peak oil
Need something about Peak Oil in here (see article): http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2005/12/26/8364646/ 16:39, 28 September 2006  —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs)

 * I added a section about Rainwater's interest in peak oil. I also added him to the "people" group of the Peak oil template. --Teratornis (talk) 23:44, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

sources? formality? neutrality?
This article fails to cite sources, and its glowing description of Rainwater's career is not entirely neutral and certainly not formal. 07:02, 27 December 2006 —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs)

Native American affiliation
Richard Rainwater was thought by many people including journalist to be Native American. I understand he had ancestors who lived in a Native American community but is not of Native descent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:24, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Adding an image of Richard Rainwater
There should be an image of Richard Rainwater added to this page because it helps identify who the person is and helps the audience know that this is the person they are looking for. It will also help enhance the credibility of this page. YarP3r07 (talk) 03:13, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Lambretta V-Special

The Lambretta V-Special is a scooter produced by Innocenti S.A. under the brand name Lambretta. The bike has been introduced in 3 models the V50 Special, V125 Special and the V200 Special. The V-Special began production in 2017 and is based on the SYM Fiddle.

Design
The Lambretta V-Special was designed by KISKA (designers of KTM and Husqvarna Motorcycles) and the frame and engine are from an SYM Fiddle III. The engine displacements for the V50, V125 and V200 are 49.5cc, 124.7cc and 168.9cc respectively, and they are single cylinder 2-valve air-cooled four-strokes. The power is delivered through a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and uses a centrifugal clutch and is belt driven for the final drive. The body styling was an attempt to keep as much classic Lambretta looks in the bike as possible but some sacrifices had to be made due to the 'donor' bikes engine, chassis and suspension, such as the sloping foot boards and side panels and the height of the front mudguard. The front mudguard comes in two styles, 'Fixed' and 'Flex'. The side panels are double layered with a 1.2mm steel beam running to the sides which are the covered with side panels. It has Lambretta badges on the front light, rear and casing while the horn cover has an Innocenti badge.

Colours
The colour schemes available are Matt Grey or Orange for the V50 fixed Mudguard and Red, Blue, White and Black in flex mudguard. The V125 comes in Matt Grey or Orange in fixed mudguard and Red, Blue, White, Black and Brown in flex mudguard. The V200 with a fixed mudguard come in Orange and Silver Blue while with a flex mudguard it comes in Blue, White, Black and Brown. The seat colours depend on the colour chosen for the bike with Dunkelbraun coming with Matt Grey paint, Black coming with Orange, Red and Brown. The Dark brown seat comes with Silver Blue, Blue and Black paint jobs.

Pirelli Edition
The V125 Special Pirelli Edition is made in association with Pirelli the colour scheme is Matt Grey-Black lacquer finish with red Pirelli accents and is only available with 124.7cc engine displacement and a 'fixed fender' front mudguard. The Special collaboration edition is limited to 999 units worldwide.

Programming Languages/Concurrent Languages

Concurrent programming is a computer programming technique that provides for the execution of operations concurrently - either within a single computer, or across a number of systems. In the latter case, the term distributed computing is used. Multiprocessor machines achieve better performance by taking advantage of this kind of programming.

Concurrent programming is now the only way to make a CPU-intensive program run twice as fast. (Historically another popular approach was to wait a couple of years for a CPU with twice the clock speed to show up, but that trend ended around 2003).

In parallel programming, single tasks are split into a number of subtasks that can be computed relatively independently and then aggregated to form a single coherent solution. Parallel programming is most effective for tasks that can easily broken down into independent tasks such as purely mathematical problems, e.g., factorisation.

One way to achieve parallel programming is through distributed computing, which is a method of information processing in which work is performed by separate computers linked through a communications network.

Mutual Exclusion

 * Definition
 * Formally defined and solved by E.W. Dijkstra in 1965 [D65].

 * We have a collection of processes that alternate repeatedly between two sections of code: non-critical section and critical section(CS). The problem is to provide a synchronisation algorithm in the form of a trying and an exit protocol to be executed, respectively, immediately before and after the CS:

 * non-critical section
 * trying protocol
 * critical section
 * exit protocol

 * , so that the following properties hold:

 * Mutual Exclusion
 * No two processes are in their CS at the same time.
 * Lockout-freedom
 * If a process enter the trying protocol, then it eventually enters the CS.
 * Absence of unnecessary delay:
 * A process attempting to enter its critical section is prevented from doing so only by another process that is executing its critical section or by other processes attempting to enter their critical sections.
 * Bounded exit
 * If a process enters the exit protocol, then it enter the non-critical section within a bounded number of its own steps.

Solutions of Mutual Exclusion

 * According to [Y03], there are thousands of solutions of mutual exclusion, some invented by clever experts, some found by brute force approaches with a computer.

 * Here are some famous ones:

 * Dijkstra's algorithm
 * The first try.
 * According to [K66][D67], this algorithm allows for the possibility that an individual computer, when contending for access, might have to wait indefinitely.

For ease of understanding, we begin with 2 processes with a modified version of the original bakery algorithm:
 * Lamport's bakery algorithm
 * For 2 processes

 * Informal proof
 * Suppose p0 is attempting to enter its critical section while p1 is in its non-critical section. Then, p0 gains access because turn1 is 0;
 * Suppose p0 is attempting to enter its critical section while p1 is in its critical section. Then, p0 will busy wait because turn 1 is not 0 and turn0 was set to be greater than turn1. When p1 finishes its critical section, it sets turn1 to 0. There are two subcases. In each case, p0 will enter its critical section.
 * If p1 is executing in its non-critical section when p0 tests turn1(i.e., turn1 is 0), then p0 will enter its critical section.
 * On the other hand, p1 might finish its non-critical section and set turn1 to turn0+1 as part of its entry protocol. When p0 retests this condition, it will find it false because turn1 is greater than turn0. So, p0 will enter its critical section.
 * Suppose that p0 and p1 begin execution of their entry protocols at about the same time and each completes their first assignment statement; so, each turn variable is 1. Suppose further that, say, p0 completes its second assignment statement and evaluates its condition before p1 executes its second assignment statement; so, turn0 is 2 and turn1 is 1. Then p0 will wait while p1 continues to execute and sets turn1 to 3. Note how one process setting its turn variable to 1 forces the other process to wait until the first process has finished picking its value for the turn variable.
 * Suppose p0 and p1 are as in the previous case. They complete their first assignment statements, which set each turn variable to 1. Suppose now that execution of the second assignment statement is interleaved at the machine instruction level. Then the following execution ordering can occur:
 * p0 reads turn1's value (1);
 * p1 reads turn0's value (1);
 * p0 adds 1 and stores the result (2) into turn0;
 * p1 adds 1 and stores the result (2) into turn1;
 * Although the turn variables have equal values. p1 will defer to p0 because its condition uses >= whereas p0's uses >.
 * Why underline codes?
 * The necessity of underline codes might not be obvious.
 * See UCDAVIS: Bakery Algorithm for an in-depth discussion.
 * For N processes

 * In the pseudocode there is a comparison of the form:
 * which is equivalent to:

 * Why call it the bakery algorithm?
 * Lamport envisioned a bakery with a numbering machine at its entrance. So each customer is given a unique number. Numbers increase by one as customers enter the store. A global counter displays the number of the customer that is currently being served. All other customers must wait in a queue until the baker finishes serving the current customer and the next number is displayed. When done shopping, the customer loses its number and it can then do whatever it wants, except that it cannot shop without getting a new number.

Concurrent programming in specific languages

 * Tasks in Ada
 * Threads in Java
 * Threads in C++

Shunoku Sōen

Shunoku Sōen (pronounced with a hard 'n': "Shun'oku") (春屋宗園) (1529 - 1611) was a Rinzai Zen monk of the Azuchi-Momoyama and early Edo periods and the 111th Head Priest of Daitoku-ji temple. He received the title Zen Master Rōgen Tenshin (Rōgen Tenshin Zenji 朗源天真禅師) from Emperor Ōgimachi in 1586 and the highest acclaim of National Teacher Taihō Enkan (Taihō Enkan Kokushi 大宝円鑑国師) from Emperor Go-Yōzei (1571-1617) in 1600. Sōen was born in Yamashiro Province and became a monk at an early age. He first trained under Rosetsu Yōha (dates unknown) at Kennin-ji, and spent a period as a student at the Ashikaga Gakkō before becoming a student of Kōin Sōken at Daitoku-ji. After Sōken's death, Sōen completed his training under Shōrei Sōkin (1505-1584) of Daisen-in and the 107th Head Priest of Daitoku-ji. Sōen became the 111th Head Priest of Daitoku-ji in 1569 (2nd year of the Eiroko Era).

Time at Nanshū-ji, Sakai
Sōen spent some years in Sakai at the Yōshun-an sub-temple of Nanshū-ji after assuming the position of 111th Head Priest, a tradition followed by such masters as Ikkyū Sōjun after becoming Head Priest of Daitoku-ji. Takeno Jōō and Sen Rikyū trained in Zen at Nanshū-ji and the karesansui (dry landscape) garden on the temple grounds was designed by Furuta Oribe. In 1580, Sōen founded Daitsū-an under the patronage of wealthy Sakai merchant and legendary tea master Tsuda Sōgyū. Sōen received great adoration from the people of Sakai and in 1583 he became the 3rd Head Priest of Nanshū-ji.

Return to Daitoku-ji and Opening of Sangen-in
Sōen returned to Kyōto in 1589 and resided at the Daisen-in and Jukō-in sub-temples of Daitoku-ji before founding a new sub-temple Sangen-in under the patronage of Ishida Mitsunari and Asano Nagamasa. While at Sangen-in, Sōen founded Zuigaku-ji Temple in Omi Province, again sponsored by Mitsunari, and Yakusen-ji under the patronage of tea master and Sakai merchant Yamaoka Sōmu (?-1595).

Connection with the Japanese Tea Ceremony
Shunoku Sōen is famous for his deep connection with the Way of Tea. He held many tea wares now in the Sangen-in estate. In the collection of Sōen's poetry and Buddhist verses (gatha) entitled ‘Ichimoku Kō’ 一黙稿, he writes about the beauty of some of the most famous art objects in chanoyu history including the Chigusa, Miroku and Akebono tea jars and the Seitaka Katatsuki, and Enza Katatsuki tea caddies. The tea masters that studied Zen under him are a veritable who's who of chanoyu: Sōen bestowed Buddhist training names to Furuta Oribe (Kinpo 金甫), Ueda Sōko (Chikuin 竹隠), Kobori Enshū (Daiyū 大有), Sen Dōan (Min'ō 眠翁), Sen Sōtan, (Genshuku 元叔) and Yabunouchi Jōchi (Kenchū 剣中). Sōen was also closely associated with Imai Sōkyū and Sen Rikyū. In 1589, Sōen was the officiating priest for the opening ceremony of the Sanmon gate, reconstructed from funds donated by Rikyū. Three days after the opening, Sōen again officiated for the 50th anniversary memorial for Rikyū's father at the Sanmon gate. After the completion of the Sanmon gate (金毛閣), in the offering written by Shunoku Sōen at the request of Rikyū, thousands of households opent their door at once said this sentence, which angered Hideyoshi then became a turning point of the relationship between Rikyū and Hideyoshi. Finally Hideyoshi ordered him to commit ritual suicide. Rikyū's grandson, Sen Sōtan, was sent to live at Sangen-in under the supervision of Shunoku Sōen at the age of ten through the wish of Rikyū. The calligraphy inscription of Rikyū's famous portrait by Hasegawa Tōhaku was written by Sōen at the request of Sen Dōan. Sōen passed away in 1611 at the age of 83. His grave is at Sangen-in.

As a spiritual leader, he did not create works of art for commercial purposes, so it is not appropriate to talk about his "most expensive work."

However, Shun'oku Sogen is renowned for his calligraphy and is considered one of the greatest Zen calligraphers in Japan's history. Some of his calligraphy works are highly valued and considered national treasures, but they are not sold in the market. Instead, they are preserved and exhibited in museums and temples for their historical and cultural significance.

Shun'oku Sogen is known for his contributions to the development and transmission of the tea ceremony in Japan, particularly the incorporation of Zen principles into the ceremony. One of his famous offerings is the "Jukoan Tea Ceremony," which emphasizes the Zen concept of "ichi-go ichi-e," meaning "one time, one meeting." This concept emphasizes the importance of being fully present in the moment and cherishing each encounter as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The Jukoan Tea Ceremony is still practiced today and is considered a valuable contribution to Japanese tea culture.

User:RadioKAOS/Sandbox/Misc

Also, Doncram went and recreated Cooper Landing Post Office. I'm guessing you feel much the same way as I do about these NRHP articles. Doncram's user page contains the following: "Has created over 5,000 Wikipedia articles." There is no real challenge in creating articles strictly from a template and PD material lying about on the web, as opposed to many important Alaskan subjects which are currently missing from the encyclopedia that would require writing and sourcing from scratch. There is also the issue of someone going for that user page glory, while in one case after the other, these articles are minimal to the point of uselessness, basically being dumped off on here with the expectation that it's someone else's responsibility to do the real work. The vast majority of the NRHP articles themselves contain no appreciable information, yet contain links (either as sources or ELs) to other sites which do contain real information on the subject. The obvious coatracking concerns aside, looking at articles such as that again begs the question I've asked repeatedly for years, which no one seems willing to answer: what do I need Wikipedia for if the real information is found somewhere else? I've been using the Internet since before many active editors were born. I think I can find my way around to information just fine without the help.

I've already made mention of my current financial situation, which has largely gotten in the way of doing any real work on here. The only reason I have the time to write this is due to having a rare day off at work.

The economy of Alaska is diverse, though heavily weighted towards governmental expenditures and the various industries which take advantage of the state's abundant natural resources. It also has deficiencies in such important sectors as agriculture and manufacturing compared with more mature economies found in older U.S. states. The state's economy has been described by University of Alaska Anchorage economist Scott Goldsmith as a "three-legged stool" – with one leg being the petroleum and gas industry, the second leg being the federal government and the third leg being all other industries and services.

Alaska's congressional delegation went unchanged from 1981 to 2002. A combination of the members' seniority and committee assignments made Alaska the beneficiary of substantial amounts of federal monies over many years, leading to national attention given to scrutiny over a number of appropriations. The U.S. military's presence in Alaska, particularly in Anchorage and Fairbanks (the state's two largest cities) but also throughout other Alaskan communities, has been a significant contributor to the Alaskan economy since the early 1940s.

subsidies are also an important part of the economy, allowing the state to keep taxes low.

Its industrial outputs are crude petroleum, natural gas, coal, gold, precious metals, zinc and other mining, seafood processing, timber and wood products. Tourists have contributed to the economy by supporting local lodging.

Agriculture represents only a fraction of the Alaskan economy. Agricultural production is primarily for consumption within the state and includes nursery stock, dairy products, vegetables, and livestock. Manufacturing is limited, with most foodstuffs and general goods imported from elsewhere.

The 2007 gross state product was $44.9 billion, 45th in the nation. Its per capita personal income for 2007 was $40,042, ranking 15th in the nation. Alaska's main export product after oil and natural gas is seafood, primarily salmon, cod, Pollock and crab.

Employment
Employment is primarily in government and in industries such as natural resource extraction, shipping, and transportation. There is a growing service sector, particularly in the fields of health care and support for air cargo carriers. The tourism sector provides a large number of jobs,

. Between 2004 and 2006, the federal government was responsible for 135,000 Alaska jobs, the petroleum sector provided 110,000 jobs and all other industries and services combined for 122,000 jobs.

Largest employers
According to the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development, the following were the state's largest private sector employers in 2010:

Energy
Alaska has vast energy resources. Major oil and gas reserves are found in the Alaska North Slope (ANS) and Cook Inlet basins. According to the Energy Information Administration, Alaska ranks second in the nation in crude oil production. Prudhoe Bay on Alaska's North Slope is the highest yielding oil field in the United States and on North America, typically producing about 400000 oilbbl/d.

The Trans-Alaska Pipeline can pump up to 2.1 Moilbbl of crude oil per day, more than any other crude oil pipeline in the United States. Additionally, substantial coal deposits are found in Alaska's bituminous, sub-bituminous, and lignite coal basins. The United States Geological Survey estimates that there are 85.4 Tcuft of undiscovered, technically recoverable gas from natural gas hydrates on the Alaskan North Slope. Alaska also offers some of the highest hydroelectric power potential in the country from its numerous rivers. Large swaths of the Alaskan coastline offer wind and geothermal energy potential as well.

Alaska's economy depends heavily on increasingly expensive diesel fuel for heating, transportation, electric power and light. Though wind and hydroelectric power are abundant and underdeveloped, proposals for state-wide energy systems (e.g. with special low-cost electric interties) were judged uneconomical (at the time of the report, 2001) due to low (<$0.50/Gal) fuel prices, long distances and low population. The cost of a US gallon of gas in urban Alaska today is usually $0.30–$0.60 higher than the national average; prices in rural areas are generally significantly higher but vary widely depending on transportation costs, seasonal usage peaks, nearby petroleum development infrastructure and many other factors.

Alaska accounts for one-fifth (20 percent) of domestically produced United States oil production. Prudhoe Bay (North America's largest oil field) alone accounts for 8% of the U.S. domestic oil production.

Permanent Fund
The Alaska Permanent Fund is a legislatively controlled appropriation established in 1976 to manage a surplus in state petroleum revenues from the recently constructed Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. From its initial principal of $734,000, the fund has grown to $40 billion as a result of oil royalties and capital investment programs.

Starting in 1982, dividends from the fund's annual growth have been paid out each year to eligible Alaskans, ranging from $331.29 in 1984 to $3,269.00 in 2008 (which included a one-time $1200 "Resource Rebate"). Every year, the state legislature takes out 8 percent from the earnings, puts 3 percent back into the principal for inflation proofing, and the remaining 5 percent is distributed to all qualifying Alaskans. To qualify for the Alaska State Permanent Fund one must have lived in the state for a minimum of 12 months, and maintain constant residency.

Cost of living
The cost of goods in Alaska has long been higher than in the contiguous 48 states. This has changed for the most part in Anchorage and to a lesser extent in Fairbanks, where the cost of living has dropped somewhat in the past five years. Federal government employees, particularly United States Postal Service (USPS) workers and active-duty military members, receive a Cost of Living Allowance usually set at 25% of base pay because, while the cost of living has gone down, it is still one of the highest in the country.

The introduction of big-box stores in Anchorage, Fairbanks (Wal-Mart in March 2004), and Juneau also did much to lower prices. However, rural Alaska suffers from extremely high prices for food and consumer goods, compared to the rest of the country due to the relatively limited transportation infrastructure. Many rural residents come into these cities and purchase food and goods in bulk from warehouse clubs like Costco and Sam's Club. Some have embraced the free shipping offers of some online retailers to purchase items much more cheaply than they could in their own communities, if they are available at all.

Agriculture
Due to the northern climate and steep terrain, relatively little farming occurs in Alaska. Most farms are in either the Matanuska Valley, about 40 mi northeast of Anchorage, or on the Kenai Peninsula, about 60 mi southwest of Anchorage. The short 100-day growing season limits the crops that can be grown, but the long sunny summer days make for productive growing seasons. The primary crops are potatoes, carrots, lettuce, and cabbage. Farmers exhibit produce at the Alaska State Fair. "Alaska Grown" is used as an agricultural slogan.

Alaska has an abundance of seafood, with the primary fisheries in the Bering Sea and the North Pacific, and seafood is one of the few food items that is often cheaper within the state than outside it. Many Alaskans fish the rivers during salmon season to gather significant quantities of their household diet while fishing for subsistence, sport, or both.

Hunting for subsistence, primarily caribou, moose, and Dall sheep is still common in the state, particularly in remote Bush communities. An example of a traditional native food is Akutaq, the Eskimo ice cream, which can consist of reindeer fat, seal oil, dried fish meat and local berries.

Alaska's reindeer herding is concentrated on the Seward Peninsula where wild caribou can be prevented from mingling and migrating with the domesticated reindeer.

Most food in Alaska is transported into the state from "Outside", and shipping costs make food in the cities relatively expensive. In rural areas, subsistence hunting and gathering is an essential activity because imported food is prohibitively expensive. The cost of importing food to villages begins at 7¢ per pound (15¢/kg) and rises rapidly to 50¢ per pound ($1.10/kg) or more. The cost of delivering a 1 USgal of milk is about $3.50 in many villages where per capita income can be $20,000 or less. Fuel cost can exceed $8.00 per gallon.

USS Artemis (AKA-21)

USS Artemis (AKA-21) was an Artemis-class attack cargo ship in service with the United States Navy from 1944 to 1947. She was scrapped in 1966.

History
Artemis (AKA-21) was named after the asteroid 105 Artemis, which in turn was named after the Greek goddess Artemis.. She was laid down under a Maritime Commission contract (MC hull 1882) on 23 November 1943 at Providence, R.I., by the Walsh-Kaiser Co., Inc.; launched on 20 May 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Thomas J. Walsh; acquired by the Navy from the Maritime Commission on 28 August 1944; and placed in commission that same day.

1944
After fitting out at Boston, Mass., the attack cargo ship proceeded to the Chesapeake Bay for shakedown training. She then sailed to the naval supply depot at Bayonne, N.J., to embark naval passengers and supplies for transportation to the Pacific. The ship got underway on 12 October and transited the Panama Canal on the 17th. On that same date, she reported to Amphibious Forces, Pacific Fleet, and continued on toward the west coast. She reached San Diego, California, on the 26th and remained in port for one day. The vessel then shaped a course for Hawaii.

Artemis reached Pearl Harbor on 3 November and unloaded her passengers. One day later, she left Hawaiian waters to return to California. On 13 November, the ship arrived at Port Hueneme to take on pontoon equipment and carried this cargo to Pearl Harbor. While in Hawaii, she participated in a series of training exercises held off Pearl Harbor. On 5 December, Artemis left Hawaiian waters to return to the west coast. Once again, cargo was taken on at Port Hueneme, and the ship proceeded back to Hawaii, and Artemis spent the Christmas holidays in port at Pearl Harbor.

1945
On 4 January 1945, she proceeded to Kahului, Maui, to embark marines. The vessel got underway on 12 January with units of Task Force (TF) 51 for amphibious training exercises off Maui and arrived back at Pearl Harbor on the 18th. Nine days later, she sailed for Eniwetok with Task Group 53.2.

After spending two days at that atoll, Artemis got underway to participate in the invasion of the Volcano Islands. Steaming via Saipan, the ship anchored in Transport Area "Baker" off the southeast coast of Iwo Jima on 19 February. She then sent her boats to assist the transports during the initial assault. The attack cargo ship remained in the area through the 27th discharging troops and cargo and taking casualties on board during the day and retiring out to sea each night.

Artemis touched back at Saipan on 3 March. Three days later, she got underway for Ulithi and remained in port there during the next three weeks to resupply and undergo minor repairs. On 29 March, the vessel paused at Manus before getting underway for New Caledonia. She arrived at Nouméa on 4 April where she took on passengers and cargo before sailing on 3 May for Leyte, Philippine Islands.

The vessel reached Leyte on 16 May and began unloading operations the next day. Artemis headed for New Guinea on the 30th and touched at Hollandia on 3 June. Two days later, she moved to Oro Bay to take on cargo and troops. The ship sailed for the Philippines on 9 June, discharged her cargo at Manila, and then sailed to the Admiralty Islands. After pausing at Manus to refuel, Artemis proceeded to Lae, New Guinea, to pick up more troops and cargo. The loading was completed on 3 July, and the vessel got underway to return to the Philippines. She unloaded at Manila in mid-July before proceeding to Tacloban, Philippine Islands, to pick up troops and equipment for transportation to Hawaii.

Artemis sailed eastward on 31 July and reached Pearl Harbor two weeks later. She was discharging her cargo there when word of the Japanese capitulation was announced on 15 August. The vessel entered drydock at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard on the 24th for overhaul. This work was completed in mid-September, and she embarked occupation troops for transportation to the Japanese home islands. On 3 October, Artemis moored at Yokosuka, Japan, and began discharging her passengers. She operated in Japanese waters until 24 November, when she set a course for the west coast of the United States. The vessel reached San Francisco, California, on 10 December and, ten days later, set out for the Philippines. Upon her arrival at Samar, Artemis embarked military personnel for transport back to the United States.

1946
She got underway on 21 January 1946 and made San Francisco on 9 February. The ship remained in port there until 20 March, when she headed for Hawaii. Upon her arrival at Pearl Harbor, the ship conducted logistic support operations for nearby naval activities until 15 May, when she was assigned to Joint Task Force 1 to support "Operation Crossroads," tests conducted at Bikini Atoll to learn of the effects of atomic bomb explosions upon warships. This assignment occupied the cargo ship through mid-August when she returned to Pearl Harbor and resumed local operations.

On 6 November, Artemis departed Hawaiian waters and shaped a course for the west coast. She reached San Francisco one week later, but left that port on the 23rd and proceeded to the Panama Canal Zone. After retransiting the canal, the ship continued on to Norfolk, Va., where she was decommissioned on 10 January 1947.

Decommissioning and fate
Her name was struck from the Navy list on 25 February 1947. The ship was transferred to the Maritime Administration on 1 April 1948 and was laid up in the National Defense Reserve Fleet in the James River. On 16 August 1966, she was sold to the Union Minerals & Alloys Corp., of New York City, and was subsequently scrapped.

Artemis earned two battle stars for her World War II service.

Ike Turner discography

This article contains information about albums and singles released by of American musician and bandleader Ike Turner.

Overview
In March 1951, Ike Turner and his band the Kings of Rhythm entered Sam Phillips' Memphis Recording Service, where they recorded several songs including the No. 1 R&B hit often regarded as the first rock 'n' roll record, "Rocket 88," featuring Jackie Brenston on vocals with the band credited as the Delta Cats. The recordings were licensed to Chess Records.

As an A&R man in the early 1950s, Turner arranged for other artists, such as Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James, Roscoe Gordon, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Little Junior Parker and Little Milton, to record for Sun Records, Modern Records, and Modern's subsidiaries, including RPM Records.

As a session musician Turner contributed to many seminal blues records, including B.B. King's first two No. 1 singles "3 O'Clock Blues" and "You Know I Love You." Turner is featured on "Double Trouble" by Otis Rush and Albert King's first hit record, "Don't Throw Your Love on Me So Strong."

By 1954, Turner had made the transition from pianist to guitarist. He took his Kings of Rhythm to Cincinnati in 1956 to record for Federal Records. In 1959, Turner released two singles on Stevens Records under the anagram "Icky Renrut" because he was still under contract with Sun for several more months, and he didn't want to cause friction with Phillips.

After Turner formed the Ike & Tina Turner Revue in 1960, he created various labels such as Sputnik, Teena, Prann, Innis, Sony and Sonja Records to release singles he wrote and/or produced for other artists. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Turner released albums and singles on Pompeii Records and United Artists.

After decades of absence, Turner released the critically claimed albums Here and Now (2001) and Risin' with the Blues (2006), the latter winning a Grammy award for Best Traditional Blues Album.

Talk:Modern History/Second World War

This needs to be reorganized into something much more presentable. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaiser (discuss • contribs) 06:48, 24 January 2005

Angocentric time line
The proposed timeline is typically anglocentric and fails utterly to capture the global perspective of the second world war.

The Pacific War did not begin in 1941. That was only when whitey got involved ( and I say that as a white guy). The timeline on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_Two) should be used.

Slackersbible/About

The goal of the Slackware Handbook project is to create a document that closely resembles the FreeBSD Handbook in framework and content, but all about Slackware Linux. Envisioned by Narayan Newton and brought to life by Mad Penguin, the Slackware Handbook is unlike any other technical documentation in the world in that it is a completely 'live' medium. This is one book that will never age, never become obsolete, never collect dust... all because it is in perpetual development by dedicated technology professionals from around the globe.

Anyone will be allowed to contribute, but everything submitted to the book is moderated by a peer review system. If something is inaccurate or misleading, it will be caught and fixed. If something is out of date, it will be updated. In keeping with the true nature of Open Source, it will be completely open for anyone to read, download, and share. The Slackware Handbook will prove to be one of the most accurate technical documents on the planet.

1979 Soviet census

In January 1979, the Soviet Union conducted its first census in nine years (since 1970). Between 1970 and 1979, the total Soviet population increased from 241,720,134 to 262,084,654, an increase of 8.4%.

Summary
As in 1970, Russians, Ukrainians, Uzbeks, and Belarusians were the largest ethnic groups in the Soviet Union in 1979. Specifically, there were 137,397,089 Russians, 42,347,387 Ukrainians, 12,455,978 Uzbeks, and 9,462,715 Belarusians living in the Soviet Union in 1979. Meanwhile, the largest SSRs in the Soviet Union by population in 1979 were the Russian SFSR (with 137.6 million inhabitants), the Ukrainian SSR (with 49.8 million inhabitants), the Uzbek SSR (with 15.4 million inhabitants), the Russian-plurality Kazakh SSR (with 14.7 million inhabitants), and the Byelorussian SSR (with 9.6 million inhabitants).

The Tajik SSR, Uzbek SSR, and Turkmen SSRs were the fastest-growing SSRs between 1970 and 1979. During this time, the Tajik SSR grew by 31% while the Uzbek SSR grew by 30% and the Turkmen SSR grew by 28%. Overall, other parts of the Caucasus and Central Asia also experienced large growth between 1970 and 1979 while the slowest-growing SSRs during this time were the Russian SFSR, the Ukrainian SSR, and the Byelorussian SSR (all of which only grew by 6% between 1970 and 1979).

Between 1970 and 1979, the Soviet Union become more urban, with 62% of its total residents living in urban areas in 1979 in comparison to 56% in 1970. Indeed, there were 18 cities in the Soviet Union with over one million residents in 1979 (in comparison to 10 such cities in 1970). In addition to this, the male to female ratio also increased between 1970 and 1979. Indeed, while males only made up 46.1% of the Soviet Union's total population in 1970, this figure increased to 46.7% by 1979. Overall, between 1970 and 1979, the total Soviet population increased from 241,720,134 to 262,084,654, an increase of 8.42%.

Between 1970 and 1979, the Soviet Jewish population fell by over 300,000, decreasing from 2,167,000 in 1970 to 1,833,000 in 1979. This fall was caused at least in part by the 1970s Soviet Union aliyah. Meanwhile, the ethnic German population in the Soviet Union increased from 1,846,317 in 1970 to 1,936,214 in 1979.

This is my sandbox.

Reproductive medicine is a branch of medicine concerning the male and female reproductive systems. It encompasses a variety of reproductive conditions, their prevention and assessment, as well as their subsequent treatment and prognosis. It also incorporates many aspects of ethics and law and has recently seen massive advancements with the help of technology and research.

Reproductive medicine has allowed the development of artificial reproductive techniques (ARTs) which have allowed advances in overcoming human infertility, as well as being used in agriculture and in wildlife conservation. Some examples of ARTs include IVF, artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer, as well as genome resource banking. With techniques such as cryopreservation of tissue coming to the forefront, the future of reproductive medicine is exciting.

History
The study of reproductive medicine is thought to date back to Aristotle, where he came up with the “Haematogenous Reproduction Theory”. However, evidence-based reproductive medicine is traceable back to the 1970's. Since then, there have been many milestones for reproductive medicine, including the birth of Louise Brown, the first baby to be conceived through IVF in 1978. Despite this, it wasn’t until 1989 that it became a clinical discipline thanks to the work of Iain Chalmers in developing the systematic review and the Cochrane collection.

juoste

Etymology
Derived roughly as, although the derivation is slightly irregular (with an additional -t-, apparently from the consonant stem ). In some dialects, the partitive singular is used in expressions for running a horse, and they may have influenced the word, which is undoubtedly a relatively recent neologism (from the 1950s or so).

Noun

 * 1)  tract nerve structure
 * 2)  strand of DNA or RNA
