In his early 10000 subscribers, he used to stream live tournaments of a game named CLASH ROYALE. Later, when PUBG Mobile came into trend, he started streaming live PUBG Mobile games on his Emulator. Now with more than 10k people watching his daily live streams, he is a successful youtuber.

In the world of live-streamed gaming, there are two sets of participants: On one side are top gamers, who, while playing, interact with each other on a conference call via a gaming community server called Discord. On the other side are fans, who log into the gamers’ channels to watch the moves live, listen to their commentaries or simply marvel at their techniques. They can also tip money to their favourite gamers via a YouTube feature called Super Chat. Super Chat gives a fan’s message.

At any point in a fourhour live stream, 10,000-15,000 viewers are posting comments at once. A message sent via Super Chat stays on the screen for a while and the gamer has to acknowledge it. It’s a monetisation model that feeds into a fan’s need for recognition. More importantly, it provides creators with a few thousand loyal followers an opportunity to make money without relying much on ad revenue and brand collaborations.

Jogiya’s first-ever Super Chat came in January last year. It was worth Rs 1,000. The highest amount he has made off Super Chats in a week since then is Rs 45,000.

Juan Chapín

Juan Chapín is a character created by Guatemalan writer José Milla y Vidaurre in his novel Un viaje al otro mundo pasando por otras partes -A trip to the other world, going through other parts-, which he wrote while in exile in Europe after the Liberal revolution of 1871. Milla y Vidaurre had been a close friend of general Rafael Carrera, who had ruled Guatemala until his death in 1865. Milla also worked in the Foreign Minister during Carrera's regime. From 1871 to 1874, Milla visited several countries in North America and Europe and used his character Juan Chapín -to whom he explains everything they come across in Europe- to represent the average Guatemalan of his day.

Character description

Milla y Vidaurre started describing the authentic "chapín"- that is, the typical Guatemalan- in his book Cuadros de costumbres -Custom portraits-,: «The real and genuine chapín type, such as it existed at the beginning of this century, it is vanishing, little by little, and maybe after a while it will disappear altogether. [...] The chapín is a group of good qualities and defects, making him very similar in this to the rest of the individuals in the human race, but with the difference that his virtues and drawbacks have certain peculiar character, resulting from special circumstances. He is friendly, a good host, a helping hand, religious, smart; and even though in general he is not talented when it comes to initiative, he is particularly apt to imitate what others have already invented. He has had a hard life and is no coward in the face of danger. Likes to tell tall tales; after the first impressions, his natural good judgment analyzes and discusses, and if, like it often happens, he finds out that we was admiring a low worthy object, he turns his back to it and forgets about his yesterday idol. The chapín is apathetic and customary; he does not go to appointments, and when he does, he is always tardy; he cares about others business a little too much and has an amazing ability to find the funny and ridiculous side of men and things. The true chapín (and here I do not speak about the one that has altered his type by adopting overseas manners), love his country with a passion, frequently understanding for country the city where he was born; and it as attached to his city as a turtle with its shell. For him, Guatemala is better than Paris; we would not change the chocolate for either tea nor coffee (in which he is absolutely right). He likes tamales more than the vol-au-vent, and prefers a "pepián" dish to the most delicious roastbeef. [...] He speaks an antique Spanish: vos, habís, tené, andá; and his conversation is adorned with Guatemalan slang, very expressive and colorful. He eats lunch at two in the afternoon: shaves on Thursdays and Sundays, unless he has a cold, in which case he does not do it even if his life depends on it; he is fifty years old, and he is still being called "niño fulano" -baby Joe-; he has been attending the same evening gathering for the last fifteen years, where he has a chronic love that will last until he or she goes six feet under.»

In the first volume of his novel, Milla y Vidaurre tells the story of his trip by boat to San Francisco and then on to New York City on the transcontinental railroad in 1871.; all his adventures have poignant comments from Juan Chapín. He are some of his reflections:

 * About women being in charge of the post office: «Women handling the post office! You are not going to make me swallow that one, even after killing me. If they are extremely curious!  They will not leave any single letter unread.»
 * After noticing the cosmetics and creams ads along Sierra Nevada: «Look at this people, sir! A thinkg that the day we reach Purgatory (which I hope is the latest possible), we will find on the door the ads of the Yankee doctors, that are trying to sell pills and medicines to the souls there, even!»
 * After having to rush eating his lunch so he could hop in a train on time: «:Like half an hour more or less for each stop would mean a great deal at the end of journey!»

Juan Chapín magazine

Guatemalan 1910 Generation was formed, among others, of writers that under the influx of Modernism, started writings on their own. They even had their own magazine: Juan Chapín which was directed by Rafael Arévalo Martínez and Francisco Fernandez. The magazine was their propaganda channel, and even though it was short lived -less than a year in 1913- it was the vehicle by which several new writers started their careers.

«Juan Chapín» Avenue
«Juan Chapín» avenue is located in zone 1 of Guatemala City, and was named to honor this particular character. It was built to improve the north side of the city, at a time when it was expanding exponentially to its south side. The idea was to connect in more direct way the transit coming from the Guarda of Gulf and Guarda of Chinautla city accesses and get to earn some equity for the neighboring land. Construction was done by jail prisoners and it was inaugurated on 11 November 1933, during general Jorge Ubico presidency.

Chris Mepham

Christopher James Mepham (born 5 November 1997) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre back for club AFC Bournemouth and the Wales national team.

Early years
A centre back and occasional right back, Mepham began his career in the academy at Premier League club Chelsea at the age of 10. He was released at the age of 14 and was then turned down by Watford and Queens Park Rangers.

Youth years (2012–2016)
Mepham joined the academy at Brentford in 2012, after being spotted by the club's Head of Academy Recruitment while making a one-off appearance for North Greenford United's reserve team. After making three appearances for the youth team as an U16, Mepham signed a scholarship deal in June 2014. On 2 February 2016 it was announced that Mepham had signed his first professional contract to be a member of the club's development squad and he finished his scholarship having made 43 appearances and scored two goals for the youth team. After consistently good performances for the reformed B team during the first half of the 2016–17 season, Mepham signed a two-year contract extension on 6 January 2017 and the following day, he made his senior debut as a late substitute for Harlee Dean during a 5–1 FA Cup third round victory over Eastleigh. A successful 2016–17 season saw Mepham named as the club's B Team Player of the Year.

Breakthrough (2016–2019)
After the departure of centre-back Harlee Dean on 30 August 2017, Mepham was promoted into the first team squad and signed a new five-year contract. He made his first start for the club in a 3–1 EFL Cup third round defeat to Norwich City on 19 September 2017 and gave away the penalty which led to the Canaries' opening goal. After appearing sporadically throughout the autumn, a head injury suffered by John Egan in December allowed Mepham a run in the team from the Christmas period until early February 2018. An achilles injury suffered by Andreas Bjelland in mid-March allowed Mepham back into the team and he scored the first senior goal of his career with the equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Sheffield United on Good Friday. He finished the 2017–18 season with 23 appearances and one goal.

Mepham began the 2018–19 season as the Bees' undisputed first-choice centre back in league matches, but was sent off for the first time in his career for two bookable offences committed during a 1–0 defeat to Bristol City on 20 October 2018. He made 27 appearances before departing the club for a club-record transfer fee in January 2019. During his two-and-a-half seasons as a professional at Griffin Park, Mepham made 48 appearances and scored one goal.

AFC Bournemouth
On 22 January 2019, Mepham signed a long-term contract with Premier League club AFC Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £12 million. Eight days later, he made his debut for the club as a substitute for Junior Stanislas late in a 4–0 win over Chelsea. He continued to be regularly selected within the back line at Bournemouth due to the absence of Steve Cook through injury. Mepham finished the 2018–19 season with Bournemouth having made 13 Premier League appearances in total.

On 10 August 2019, Mepham scored his first Premier League goal, and his first ever goal for the Cherries, in a 1–1 home draw against newly promoted Sheffield United. Mepham made a further ten appearances in the Premier League for the Cherries throughout the first half of the 2019–20 season, including a starring role in a 1–0 away win and clean sheet at Chelsea on 14 December. However, Mepham would suffer a "significant knee injury" in the FA Cup game against Luton Town on 4 January, which would potentially rule him out for up to three months.

International career
Mepham was called into the Wales U20 squad for the 2017 Toulon Tournament and made one appearance, in a 2–2 group stage draw with Ivory Coast on 5 June 2017. He made his U21 debut with a start in a 3–0 2019 UEFA U21 Championship qualifying victory over Switzerland on 2 September 2017. Mepham captained the U21 team for the first time in a 0–0 qualifying draw with Romania six weeks later.

In March 2018, Mepham won his maiden call-up to the senior team for the 2018 China Cup. He made his debut as a substitute for Ben Davies after 70 minutes of a 6–0 victory over China on 22 March 2018. Two months later, he made his first international start, in a 0–0 friendly draw with Mexico on 28 May.

In May 2021, he was selected for the Wales squad for the delayed UEFA Euro 2020 tournament. In November 2022, he was named in the Wales squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Personal life
Mepham was born in Northwick Park, the London Borough of Harrow. He attended Queensmead School in South Ruislip and grew up as a Queens Park Rangers supporter. His uncle Roy was a member of the Brentford youth team in the 1960s.

Honours
AFC Bournemouth
 * Championship runner-up: 2021–22

Individual
 * Brentford B Player of the Year: 2016–17

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/New England/archive1

New England
My reasons for nominating this article are the following: Where I anticipate some disagreement: I look forward to hearing all of your comments. I feel that this article is a good candidate for featured article status; if there are any problems, I imagine that they can be fixed very quickly and with little effort. Thanks for your consideration. --AaronS 14:06, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's very best work;
 * it is well-written, comprehensive, stable, neutral, and factually accurate;
 * it has a good and well-organized table of contents, as well as a concise lead;
 * it has many beautiful and appropriate images with concise captions;
 * it has various sub-topics, and maintains a decent length without going into tangential detail;
 * and, finally, it is very well-cited.
 * some of the prose may need some rewriting -- I copyedit what I can, but my time is limited;
 * and some material might be moved into sub-articles.

Overall though, a very nice article! -- Grafikm  (AutoGRAF)  14:30, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Conditional Support. This article is very nice, but I think some things remain:
 * Is "Regional population layout" subsection really useful? Why not remove it and move the three regions directly to 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3?
 * There are a lot of stubby paragraphs that could probably be merged, both in the article and in the lead.
 * The references sections goes below "Notes" not above.
 * I will fix those problems as soon as I can. Thanks. --AaronS 15:05, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

On the whole a really great article that is informative and well referenced. I had never stopped to realize until now how well-written the article is despite having it on my watchlist for anti-vandalism purposes! - Pal 15:32, 11 August 2006 (UTC) =Nichalp  «Talk»=  18:58, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Support with reservations. And rather minor ones at that.
 * The list of largest cities in New England in the "Urban New England" section needs a reference (either to an external source or another referenced list in Wikipedia). Right now it's unclear when and where the<IP_ADDRESS> 16:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC) figures are taken from (2000 U.S. census? State fact sheets? Accurate as of 2006?).
 * The "Major Professional Sports Teams" section could be better organized. Right now it has the appearance of a bunch of items slapped together with no real flow or paragraph structure.
 * Object – It starts off pretty well, before dipping.
 * Sports and media are loosely covered.
 * Prose is choppy in some places eg. New England is a region of the United States located in the northeastern corner of the country. It is comprised of the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The two sentences can be merged. 2. 'Together, the Mid-Atlantic...'' As a non-US resident, I'm not sure what mid-Atlantic refers to. having some context of it in the prose would be helpful without having to click links. Another example of choppy prose would be the opening sentences of the second para of the History section. One more: "Cambridge, Massachusetts has Harvard Square and Harvard University."
 * MoS for units have not been followed. (1,917 m (6,288 ft)) Use &nbsp; to insert a non-breaking space between a number and its unit.
 * More info on climate, flora, fauna and geology needed. A good geographical map would be useful.
 * =Coastal New England= reads like a tourist brochure.
 * =Urban New England= could do with some more content.
 * "Lawrence-Methuen-Salem MA NH" -- not very helpful to non-US readers.

 * Object:
 * The lack of a close-up map of the region is very noticeable in its absence.
 * "unique among U.S. geographic regions in that it is also a former political entity. " What about the Kingdom of Hawaii? And maybe the Republic of Texas?
 * "it would later oppose the War of 1812" The region was unified in opposition?
 * Urban Dictionary is not a reliable source.
 * "In the 18th century and the early 19th century, New England was still considered to be a very distinct region of the country, as it is today." Bad writing.
 * "During the War of 1812, there was a limited amount of talk of secession from the Union" citation needed.
 * "and as obvious as the region's unique dialect." You don't mention a regional dialect anywhere, so we don't know what the European influence there is.
 * "Try getting rid of paragraphs of under three sentences. Merge them into other, appropriate pargraphs. Andrew Levine 20:06, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Response: (1) I'll try looking for one of those. (2) Neither of those were regions; New England has always been a region encompassing several states, governments, or colonies. (3) Yes, the region was unified. (4) True 'dat. (5) Yes, that is bad writing, but it's easily fixable. (6) There was talk of secession during the War of 1812; this is a well-known historical fact, so it shouldn't be hard to cite. (7) The regional dialect is discussed in the cultural roots section, so I'm not sure about what you're talking about. (8) Paragraph merging seems very appropriate. Thanks for your comments. --AaronS 20:49, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry about #7, that's my mistake. As for #3, if true, it needs citation. #2 requires some clarification in the article on what "region" means in this sense, like add "multi-state region". I hope to support soon. Andrew Levine 20:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No worries. The information relating to the War of 1812 can be found in just about any discussion of the war; it was a big deal at the time that the New England states refused to support it. So, finding citations should be easy. As "region" is concerned, would you be satisfied with "region of the United States," wikilinked to Regions of the United States? Regions typically aren't defined on the same grounds as the political divisions of the states. New England was a region before there were any states or anything resembling a state. --AaronS 21:02, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Object I began by fixing what I thought were several large faults, then ran into some I couldn't fix ... one example being the leading figure (of the flags) that displays very poorly ... and decided just to "object." The prose is not just poor, it is consistently poor, and in some sections the material included seems to be just bits selected at random. Sfahey 22:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * After reading the subsequent comments, I went back and read the thing more fully, through to the end. The middle sections are, contrary to my blanket statement above, quite well written, especially as they manage to tie the region together nicely. I still "object", though. Two particulars to show what I meant by "random" bits, from just one section: I don't think the History section even mentions the Pilgrims as such, and out of nowhere comes "after the Pequot War," which also hasn't been mentioned. Sfahey

 * (talking to myself here) I made several "improvements," including fixing several things raised my me and others. What is good here is VERY good, but more significant, unfortunately, is that the substandard stuff is VERY bad. Specifically:
 * 1. the goofy "Entertainment and Music" section (Dick Dale????)
 * 2. the "History" section ending at 1812
 * 3. the "Population" section ignoring Maine, NH, and Vt.
 * If it doesn't make it this time, this one will be back. Sfahey 02:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Response: Thanks for your comments and edits, Sfahey. I have a question, though: (1) what's wrong with Dick Dale? As for the history section, I agree that there's a problem. I'll look at the various state histories and see if I can pull something together to cover 1812-2006. The population section does also seem to ignore northern New England. --AaronS 13:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I think Dale was born in Mass., but lived and made music in Calif. I'd think he might merit a line in a several page "Entertainment" section, but to have him and that punk group represent a region that has the Boston Symphony, J. Geils, Jack Lemmon, Bette Davis, Aerosmith, Katherine Hepburn, etc. is a large stretch. Oh, if you add stuff to the end of the history section: cyclical economic woes have been a big thing there, with the rise and fall of whaling, the demise of most of the farming, the high tech boom and bust, and the near-complete demise of the big textile mills in the 20th c. Sometime I'll get around to adding a Geology section if this doesn't make it to FA this time. Sfahey 21:56, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Those are all excellent points. Thanks for hopping on board and helping out. Your comments and edits are helpful. According to this, Dale did not leave MA until his senior year of high school. --AaronS 00:02, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Support Nicely written. Good choice of topics. Does not simply rehash what's better covered in articles on individual states. Treats the region and its coherence well. Fg2 00:51, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Support I believe that the smaller issues can be resolved easily. Overall, it's a great article and I believe it meets criteria for a featured article. Hello32020 12:22, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Object Problems throughout, some samples given.
 * Weasle words (examples):  Robert Frost, who was born in California, is almost always associated with New England; and New Englanders generally support and In the southwestern part of the state, many Connecticut residents support the New York Yankees and other New York pro teams.
 * Lacking inline citations and rigorous referencing (examples only, indicating need for reviewing entire text - some of these border on POV as well):
 * Thanksgiving day high school football rivalries date back to the 19th century, and the Harvard-Yale rivalry is the oldest in college football. ... Due to the steep grade of Heartbreak Hill, it is considered one of the most difficult and prestigious marathons of its kind.
 * Literature, unreferenced entirely.
 * Cultural roots, completely unreferenced.
 * According to US News and World Report, 8 of the nation's top-50 universities and 13 of its top-50 liberal arts colleges are located in New England. Cite please (USNews rankings change every year).
 * Prose - random sample: In northern New England, New Hampshire's White Mountains are popular ski destinations, as well as offering for camping and hiking.
 * Comprehensive: considering the wealth of history in New England, the Notable places section is disappointing and reads like a tourist guide rather than an encyclopedia.
 * How did Canterbury make this list? What is the criteria? At the pre-college level, New England is home to a majority of the most prominent American independent schools (also known as private schools), such as Phillips Academy in Massachusetts, St. Paul's School and Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, and Canterbury School, Choate Rosemary Hall, Hotchkiss School, and Loomis Chaffee in Connecticut, ...
 * Non-encyclopedic content: Bars and pubs, especially those with Irish themes, are popular social venues. Again, reads like a tour guide, rather than an encyclopedia entry.

The article needs to be thoroughly referenced and brought up to encyclopedic, rather than tourist guide, standard. Sandy 22:41, 17 August 2006 (UTC) Sandy 22:41, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

 * colspan="1" style="width:100%; vertical-align:top; border:1px solid Gold; background-color:LightYellow;" |

The Software

 * Dialog recording for the animatic
 * Any audio recording software will do. Recording the dialog for the animatic is very simple so no special audio program is needed.

 * You can use Audacity (Linux, Windows or Macintosh) which is free.
 * You can use Sound Forge on Windows.
 * You can use GarageBand or iMovie on the Macintosh.
 * etc.

 * Professional audio software
 * Later when doing ADR and live recording of musicians in sync with your movie, you will need special recording software which will play a movie clip at the same time it is recording audio. But for now, iMovie is good enough since it plays a movie while your record your music.

 * The cheapest alternative - Audacity - FREE
 * If you do not have a professional audio program, you can download Audacity which is free. It will work on most computers.  Click here to learn more about Audacity.

William Tavoulareas

William Peter Tavoulareas (November 9, 1919 – January 13, 1996) was a Greek-American petroleum businessman who served as President and Chief Executive of the Mobil Corporation in the 1970s and 1980s. He was best known for his libel lawsuit against The Washington Post, responding to the newspaper's investigative journalism articles criticizing him.

Early life and education
Tavoulareas was the son of Greek and Italian immigrants, and was born in Brooklyn, New York. He earned a Bachelor of Laws degree from St. John's University School of Law.

Career
Tavoulareas started as an accountant at Mobil (then Socony-Vacuum) in 1947. He held a series of financial positions until he was elected director of Mobil Oil Corp in 1965. On September 1, 1969, he succeeded Rawleigh Warner, Jr. as President of Mobil. He was elected director in 1976 and remained as President until November 1, 1984, when he was succeeded by Allen E. Murray. He remained on the board of directors until 1988. He had close ties to Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yamani, and in his time as President, he helped Mobil grow from a revenue of $7.6 billion in 1969 to nearly $70 billion when he retired.

He was also on the Boards of Aramco, Bankers Trust, Philip Morris, St. John's University, Georgetown University, Athens College, St. Francis Hospital, a Governor of New York Hospital, and served on the Boards of numerous charities both nationally and internationally. He was a Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.

Atlas Maritime Company
In 1982, Tavoulareas was unsuccessful in bringing a $2 million libel suit against The Washington Post for a November 30, 1979, front page story by Patrick Tyler saying he used his corporate position at Mobil to "set up his son" (Peter Tavoulareas) with a multi-million dollar management services contract with his shipping business, Atlas Maritime Company. The initial jury's award of $2 million in favor of William Tavoulareas in July 1982 was put aside by the judge hearing the case, Oliver Gasch, on May 3, 1983, because he said Tavoulareas had not proven "actual malice". The three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals upheld the verdict, 2–1. The full U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, including Judges Kenneth Starr, George MacKinnon, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, upheld the ruling in March 1987, finding the story substantially true and holding that "the record abounds with uncontradicted evidence of nepotism in favor of Peter [Tavoulareas' son]" and "insufficient evidence exists in the record to support a finding of constitutional malice".

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) opened an investigation of the business relationship between William Tavoulareas and Peter Tavoulareas in 1977, at the urging of U.S. Representative John Dingell. SEC investigators presented their findings in a draft memorandum in December 1980. The report stated that William Tavoulareas "participated in decisions" and was involved with Atlas "from approximately January 1974 through at least February 1976". Stanley Sporkin, the departing director of enforcement at the SEC in 1981, stated he negotiated with Mobil's lawyers that there would be no punitive action against Mobil or its president, if they disclosed some of the findings. Ultimately, in July 1981, the SEC commissioners rejected the disclosure agreement set up by Sporkin. SEC Commissioner Philip A. Loomis Jr. argued that the SEC did not have authority to order Mobil to disclose that information. Representative Dingell and the House Committee on Energy and Commerce held hearings in February 1982 on the SEC's handling of the investigation of Tavoulareas, which included interviewing Sporkin. William Tavoulareas declined an invitation to those hearings, citing the ongoing lawsuit with The Washington Post.

Personal life
He married Adele. He had three children: Peter, William, and Patrice. He was known by his friends as "Tav".

He was a close friend of U.S. President George H. W. Bush and Greek Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou.

Death
He died on January 13, 1996, at the age of 75 at Boca Raton Regional Hospital in Boca Raton, Florida, where he lived in his later years.

Massachusetts Educational Theater Guild

The Massachusetts Educational Theater Guild (METG), previously known as the Massachusetts High School Drama Guild, is a theater arts located in Massachusetts supporting middle and secondary school students and teachers. METG organizes the statewide high school theatre festival in March.

History
METG began in 1931 with the establishment of “Massachusetts Drama Day.” Four schools participated in the original competition, which was held at the old Huntington Chambers building in Copley Square in Boston. In the 1940s, the Massachusetts Secondary School Administrators Association became the educational sponsor of the state event.

1954 marked the beginning of two important corporate partnerships with the Guild: The Boston Globe became the lead patron, and John Hancock Hall became one of the Festival’s sponsors. It was also in this year that the Festival was relocated to John Hancock Hall in the Back Bay Events Center, where it has remained ever since. In 1989 the Guild’s horizons expanded with incorporation as a nonprofit organization. During the 1998-1999 school year, the Massachusetts Middle School Drama Festival, Inc. and the Massachusetts High School Drama Guild, Inc. merged. Since then the Guild has increased its membership to over 160 schools across the Commonwealth. In 2010 the name was changed to Massachusetts Educational Theater Guild.

In 2012, through the support of Broadway In Boston, the METG announced a new education project which offers both middle and high school members an opportunity to bring experienced adjudicators into their theaters where they will receive professional feedback on their hard work creating musical theater productions.

Richard C. Tallman

Richard Charles Tallman (born March 3, 1953) is a senior United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and a former Judge of the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review.

Early life and education
Born in Oakland, California, Tallman received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1975 from the University of Santa Clara and his Juris Doctor in 1978 from Northwestern University School of Law, where he served as the executive director of the Northwestern University Law Review.

Professional career
After serving as a law clerk for Judge Morell Edward Sharp of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, Tallman worked as a trial lawyer for the Department of Justice and as an Assistant United States Attorney in Seattle, Washington. From 1983 until his appointment to the Ninth Circuit in 2000, Tallman was an attorney in private practice in Seattle, including as chairman of the white-collar criminal defense practice group at the former Bogle and Gates law firm between 1990 and 1999. After that firm closed on March 31, 1999, Tallman formed the firm Tallman & Severin.

Among Tallman's higher-profile clients in private practice was representing the Seattle Mariners in legal disputes over scheduling rights in the Kingdome. Tallman also handled medical malpractice and defense procurement cases.

Federal judicial service
Clinton's previous nominee to that seat, conservative Washington State Supreme Court Justice Barbara Durham, had been nominated in January 1999 as part of a bipartisan deal brokered by Washington's senators at the time, Slade Gorton and Patty Murray. However, Durham withdrew her nomination to the seat just four months later because of her husband's terminal heart condition. Tallman was chosen after he was one of three potential nominees that Gorton recommended to the White House. Despite being a Republican, Tallman was nominated by President Bill Clinton on October 20, 1999 to fill the seat vacated by Judge Betty Binns Fletcher, who assumed senior status in 1998. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on May 24, 2000 by a voice vote. He received his commission on May 25, 2000. He assumed senior status on March 3, 2018.

On January 27, 2014, Tallman was appointed by Chief Justice John Roberts to a six-year term on the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review, which considers appeals under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. He succeeded Morris S. Arnold, whose term expired in August 2013. Tallman's term on the court ended on January 26, 2021.

Notable opinions
Bull v. City and County of San Francisco, August 22, 2008. Tallman dissented on the issue of whether San Francisco jails could strip search those detained for minor, non-violent offenses, contending that they should be able to do so due to security needs: "When people are dying as a result of our errant jurisprudence, it is time to correct the course of our law."

Talk:Flag of West Virginia/GA1

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Reviewer: AHeneen (talk · contribs) 23:39, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Issues that need to be addressed for the GAR:
 * There is a reference to the flag being approved by joint resolutions. Is the flag codified in state law? If so, the chapter/section/code where the flag is covered needs to be included. (If yes, this needs to be included. If no, then a sentence should be added saying so in the article, if a reliable source can be found saying so.)
 * Article II Section 2-7 of the West Virginia Constitution entitled "Montani Semper Liberi" -- State seal governs the present seal of the state, with its motto, "Montani Semper Liberi" but the Article does not mention the flag. The West Virginia Blue Book states on page 760 that the flag was laid out by Senate Joint Resolution No. 18. I'll continue to see if the current flag is codified elsewhere in the meantime. -- Caponer (talk) 03:08, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll pass this article because I can't find anything with a Google search, but it seems odd that the state wouldn't codify the design in law. AHeneen (talk) 07:09, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * In the "Desecration" subsection, the following sentence lacks a clear citation: "However, content-neutral restrictions may still be imposed to regulate the time, place, and manner of such expression."
 * I've removed the this last sentence, as it was added my another contributor and I'm unsure of where this information was obtained from, as it's not in the two Supreme Court decisions. The remainder of the paragraph is sourced by United States Reports Supreme Court decisions. -- Caponer (talk) 02:44, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * At the beginning of the "1907 flag" section, the quote "wholly impracticable" needs a reference at the end of the quote. Who/what said that?
 * "wholly impracticable" was the exact wording used in West Virginia Code Chapter 1, Section 9, which is internally-cited as being on page 5 of Hogg's West Virginia Code, Annotated (1914). I've paraphrased this as "completely infeasible" to avoid usage of the quotes, but the inline citation remains at the end of the sentence. -- Caponer (talk) 02:53, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * That's fine. Previously, it wasn't clear what the source was because there was (and still is) three citations at the end of the sentence. AHeneen (talk) 07:09, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Other suggested improvements:
 * The Seal of West Virginia is wikilinked in the "Design" section. Per MOS:SEEALSO, "As a general rule, the "See also" section should not repeat links that appear in the article's body or its navigation boxes."
 * I've removed the See also section. Thanks! -- Caponer (talk) 02:38, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I've also added insignia to Template:West Virginia as well. AHeneen (talk) 07:09, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * The reverse of the 1905 flag should be included. If a suitable version isn't available, at least include an image of the coat of arms that was on the reverse. If the coat of arms at the time was the same as the coat of arms pictured at the beginning of the "History" section, then that image should be moved and placed adjacent to the 1905 flag image, with an appropriate caption.
 * It is unknown which version of the coat of arms was placed on the reverse of the 1905 flag. It was most likely similar to the obverse of the West Virginia state flag from 1907 to 1929. I'd like to hold off on placing an image of a coat of arms version here until it is known which version was actually on the 1905 flag. -- Caponer (talk) 04:19, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The following statement doesn't make much sense:
 * "In 2001, the North American Vexillological Association surveyed its members on the designs of the 72 U.S. state, U.S. territorial, and Canadian provincial flags. The survey found the West Virginia state flag to be barely out of the bottom 20 flags, as the association's members ranked it at 51 out of the 72."
 * What exactly does this mean and what is the importance? The criteria of the survey should be made clear. A short description of what the society does could be included, for example: "In 2001, the North American Vexillological Association—an organization devoted to the scientific and scholarly study of flags—surveyed". In my opinion (not that I'm saying it should be removed), "barely out of the bottom 20 flags" is fluff and not necessary.
 * I've removed the fluff, and added a little more context from the source. Frankly, this tidbit had been added before my expansion of the article, and I would be fine with striking it completely. -- Caponer (talk) 04:01, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

AHeneen (talk) 01:37, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Consider changing the layout of the images, in particular consider aligning an image or two on the left. The coat of arms, US national emblem, and 1905 flag are stacked on the right side of the page in my browser (full width of the screen, which is 1366x768). The same conflict happens with the infobox and coat of arms in the "Design" section.
 * I've repositioned the images a bit to provide more harmony throughout the article's layout. I've left the images on the right side further down in the article as there is less space conflict in those lower sections. -- Caponer (talk) 04:07, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Incorporate the date of statehood into the "History" section for perspective, but I don't have a good suggestion of how to do so. A "See also" hatnote linking to West Virginia in the American Civil War in the "American Civil War" section should be added. History of West Virginia should be wikilinked at some point where statehood is mentioned.
 * I've incorporated the year of statehood into the History section's lede, and I've incorporated the full date of statehood in the American Civil War subsection with a link to the separation from Virginia section of History of West Virginia. I've also added a details see also hat note linking to the West Virginia in the American Civil War article. -- Caponer (talk) 04:15, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * AHeneen, thank you for taking the time to conduct this thorough and comprehensive review of this article. I'll be addressing these items one at a time. I'll notify you once I've completed my final response. Thanks again! -- Caponer (talk) 02:57, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * AHeneen, I've addressed each of your concerns. It looks like the only outstanding concern is the actual code for where the state flag has been codified. So far, I can attest it isn't in the constitution, so thus far, I just know the Senate Joint Resolution number in 1929. Let me know if you see any other issues or if you have any other questions. I really appreciate all your assistance and guidance throughout this process! -- Caponer (talk) 04:23, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅ AHeneen (talk) 07:09, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * AHeneen, thank you tremendously for taking the time to complete this careful review. It is very appreciated and it has been a privilege working with you throughout this process. Thanks again! -- Caponer (talk) 11:02, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Top Hat Trading Limited

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It is possible that the firm is large enough to be notable, but I can not see the references, and the page numbers listed make it appear they are mere notices. Its website is inaccessible without registration, & I am not about to register at an investment firm's site that I do not know about.  DGG ( talk ) 20:56, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not being asked to register before seeing their home page http://toptrading.co.uk/about-us/ or the other company refs. No comment on whether the company itself is notable since I don't have access to the secondary sources, but there is very little about on Google. Meters (talk) 21:18, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Please Consider this correspondence to constitute a formal appeal against the deletion of article "Top Hat Trading Limited" for unfounded reasons.

I would like to challenge the decision to deletion of article "Top Hat Trading Limited" by DGG, which was notified to me yesterday but DGG keep want proceed with deletion of page without reasons to do that. This is because:

 * The company is large enough to be notable
 * The article have enough sources and meet the criteria CSD A7, DGG already try delete the article based on CSD A7 criteria what were unfair.
 * Website of company have 6 years of existence, was registered in 2009
 * I take some information of company website, and any client are unable to register to website, because the registration need be made in person on Top Hat Trading Offices, and website offer a Client Portal Login to clients follow their investment.
 * The reason appointed by DGG above don't make any sense in this case because only client with agreement with company can have access to client portal, what mean that company process with all legal requirements and a client don't have a problem to register at an investment firm's without know about them, because they simple can't register, first need go to Top Hat Trading offices and signed a agreement.

I look forward to a response where we can hopefully resolve the situation ASAP, avoiding the need for deletion of article.Johnf1982 (talk) 21:29, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Not qualifying for an A7 Speedy just means that the article appears to make a credible claim of notability. It does not mean that the subject of the article is actually notable. Despite passing A7 it may still be deleted for lack of notability, or on any other applicable grounds. Meters (talk) 21:37, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Yes Meters you are right. But in this case, I don't see enough reasons to proceed with deletion of article. I think that article is notable enough to keep online, and the UK magazines articles talking about company is a strong source for Wikipedia.Johnf1982 (talk) 21:41, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * FWIW, it's policy that we can use references that require registration--I am just saying why I have not looked at it. And it also is policy that we can not use external links that require registration, per WP:EL.  DGG ( talk ) 05:36, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * DGG seems that you don't are looking correctly to references. Any link require registration to see, Top Hat Trading official website are accessible without any type of registration, also like I said before is impossible register online. All other references links, open and information are accessible without any type of registration. Johnf1982 (talk) 08:02, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment: Out of the first four cites, two are evidently written by the company (use of 'we'), one is a map, and the fourth is a government registration database page with bare numbers, name, and location. Still working on the last three of seven, but this article definitely fails to lead with its strong suit. — Neonorange (talk) 05:08, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment All three of the financial magazines used as the last 3 refs are searchable, but I have not had any hits for Top Hat Trading or Nicholas Clark. Meters (talk) 07:17, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment:All information on article has available on UK magazines, that was where I took almost all the information. So I think that articles on 3 UK Financial Magazines is a strong source to write the article. Johnf1982 (talk) 15:23, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I had hoped the comment about the quality of the first four cites in the article might lead to some movement. As for the last three, at least two editors can not find the contents you cite in the three publications. If you can give us some help finding the articles, then perhaps we can move forward. I have tried to find other sources. — Neonorange (talk) 17:51, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The obvious grammar errors in the titles of the supposed refs are rather suspicious. Meters (talk) 17:58, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Grammar errors in the titles of the supposed refs? Where are you see grammar error on refs? I don't see any grammar error. Please be specific. Also the articles has been published in the UK magazines, paper version. Johnf1982 (talk) 18:09, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Please, let us just step back a bit. There is no rush to close this discussion. There is no need to push so hard. If the firm is notable in the Wikipedia sense (or at least the English Wikipedia sense), eventually there will be an article. It is, of course, not necessary that the articles be online, but it would sure be a help to see a quote or two from those articles.; not so much a matter of trust, at all, but merely being able to find something to follow-up. — Neonorange (talk) 20:49, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Neonorange in my opinion article deserve be published on WP because follow the WP criteria and I don't see good reasons for article be deleted. The sources and information about company not is the best for a solid article, but I think that is enough. If community think that article need be deleted, no problem at all. About magazines, I can't uploud them on WP because copyrights... What I can do is take a picture of articles and send to you. Johnf1982 (talk) 22:32, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Neither "The Investments of Future?" or "Interview to Nicholas Clark" are titles that would be used by an English journalist. We're not asking you to send us copies of the articles, but since the searchable indices for the 3 refs are not showing hits for the titles (or Top Hat or Nicholas Clark) perhaps you could provide the search parameters required to find these articles, or some of the missing information (the names of the article authors, and the exact date of the August What Investment issue would be a good start). Note that as far as I can tell MoneyWeek published on 23 May, 2014 (not 22 May, 2014), Meters (talk) 00:06, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * *MoneyWeek magazine was in 23 May yes, you are correct was my mistake written on references the date of article and I will update with correct information. About ""What Investment"" is a Monthly magazine so don't have a exact date, is only month and year like I describe in references. Titles of magazines is a normal titles for a financial and investment magazines, I don't understand why you "Meters" are always doubt about veracity of references.Johnf1982 (talk) 00:44, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I can't verify the existence of the references in question even though the indices are searchable and I should be able to find them. That suggests that there may be a problem with the refs. The date of one is wrong, two titles have unlikely grammar errors (which are similar to quirks of your writing style), and you still have not been able to show us how to find these articles in the indices. I have not suggested deleting this article, yet, but I'm not going to wait much longer. Meters (talk) 05:02, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. Other than their own website and related social media, and various business directories, they seem to have made no imprint whatsoever in the searchable Internet. I have also failed to corroborate article's print citations, which in any event would be too thin to demonstrate notability on their own, and they are very much on their own. I would also like to see better independent verification from reliable sources that they are what they claim to be. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 02:47, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Streamline (character)

Streamline is a British Golden Age superhero, which appeared in the short-lived magazine Streamline Comics (1947), which only ran for four issues. The character was co-created by Denis Gifford and Bob Monkhouse, and later appeared as a character in the 2000 AD strip Zenith and the independent title Black Tower Comics Group Adventures.

Publication history
Streamline was co-created by Denis Gifford and Bob Monkhouse, first appearing in Streamline Comics #1 (1947) published by Cardal Publishing. The comic ran for four issues, black and white throughout inside, with Streamline the main feature. The Streamline strip was drawn in #1 by Denis Gifford, and in #2-4 by science-fiction writer Bryan Berry.

In Streamline's debut appearance, The Adventure of the Flaming Fiends, scientist Keenan King is suspicious when he witnesses a fire at the 21st National Bank, returning to his laboratory to experiment on himself with the mysterious Elixir X. Obtaining a suitable costume, he encounters another bank on fire and discovers robbers in asbestos suits but is beaten back by the heat and forced to leave in order to a rescue the bank security guard. By the time of the next bank fire, he has formulated a liquid that dissolves asbestos. Splashing it over the robbers who are then vulnerable to the heat and flames, and hits them out of the bank to the awaiting police.

Streamline Comics #4 promised more adventures of "Britain's Superman" in Streamline Comics #5 but this was never published.

A reimagined Streamline made a guest appearance in the 2000 AD strip Zenith, along with other vintage British superheroes, debuting in 2000 AD Prog 629 (cover date 3 June 1989). The Zenith strip was written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Steve Yeowell. Zenith's Streamline became a traitor serving the evil alien race the Lloigor and was killed in Prog 660 (cover date 6 January 1990) when super-hero DJ Chill makes the temperature drop severely within Streamline's force field.

Since 1986, the original run of Streamline Comics has been reprinted along with several other out-of-print Golden Age superheroes by British independent comics publisher Black Tower Comics Group, collected in Black Tower Gold Collection. In 2005, the online comic Starscape published Streamline to begin its selection of British Golden Age strips, shown in Comic Display reader format. Since the 1980s, Streamline has appeared in Black Tower Comics Group Adventures, also published by Black Tower Comics Group, drawn by creator/publisher Terry Hooper.

Powers and abilities
Having injected himself with the experimental formula Elixir X, scientist Keenan King becomes "the fastest fighter in the world", gaining super speed, and can rapidly regenerate from even serious, life-threatening injuries. As a character in Zenith, Streamline also had a protective force field.

Costume
Streamline's costume in the original 1940s run was yellow with a lightning-bolt 'S' in the middle of the chest, and included a yellow mask, with blue boots, gloves, belt and cape. When he was revived in Zenith, his costume no longer included a cape, and the 'S' was in a circle and had moved to the left breast, while the boots and gloves were flush with the rest of the costume. The Zenith run was printed in black and white.

Wikiversity talk:Stub

Categories Stubs and Stub pages
What relation should stub which adds pages to the category Stubs have to welcome and expand which adds pages to a different category Stub pages. Should both templates add pages to the same category? Do we need both these catogories? Mystictim 15:13, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I think there is a difference between a page that has the format of a Wikiversity learning resource (an attempt has been made to "wikify" the page) and a page that had been created and a sentence or two added or maybe a category tag. Some people use the term "sub-stub" and they have specific criteria by which a short page qualifies as a stub. Maybe "welcome and expand" should be for "sub-stubs". --JWSchmidt 15:28, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Stub types
Today I created a specialized stub type for portal of Life Sciences as an example of stub sorting proposed here. It consists from the base template Template:StubBase and the Life Sciences stub template. All the stub types could be mentioned also in Category:Stub types. In this way the stubs can be categorized by topic. Please write your opinion about this approach, if it should be continued... :) The example of usage is on my user page. --Gbaor 13:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC) I just noticed the Stub templates category, so the Category:Stub types may be omitted. --Gbaor 14:11, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your efforts to sort stubs. Anything you do along these lines will be a big help. Please note that Wikiversity "School:" pages are like Wikipedia's wikiprojects. It might be best to sort stubs according to school. --JWSchmidt 14:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Progress report: New stub types were created according to Schools, also for schools, which were not founded yet. Practical Arts and Sciences, Professional Schools and Social Sciences are not done yet. Portal:Life Sciences is not listed on this page at all, this should be fixed. The tempates are in Category:Stub templates, all of them adds the pages to separate category in Category:Stubs. Default picture is included in all templates. --Gbaor 14:21, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Update: Templates for all major schools were created, StubBase how-to was added.--Gbaor 11:01, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Uncategorized
What should Uncategorized be used for? It seems to add a page to both Category:Uncategorized pages and Category:Category needed which seems a bit redundant (not to mention repetitive) Also, see my note at Template talk:Uncategorized about the broken link in the box. --mikeu 01:29, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

White space

 * This template seems to add excessive white space at the top of articles?? -- Jtneill - Talk 06:37, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you mean stub ? I tested it and haven't seen any excessive withe space. Can you show any particular example? --Gbaor 17:35, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

stub
why name it a stub?
 * I think this name was introduced from Wikipedia to mark undeveloped resources. Just to be compatible with other projects somehow. --Gbaor 17:30, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Expectation of expansion
What do people think about perhaps adding something to the effect that stubs shouldn't be created on Wikiversity for the sake of it. Unlike Wikipedia, where stubs exist as a way to get topics "on the board" for expansion at some undetermined later date, I feel like stubs here at Wikiversity should only be acceptable when there is a clear intention to develop them into fully-formed content. I almost feel like anything marked as a stub should be regularly considered as a deletion candidate if not expanded over some 60 or 90-day period. MyNameWasTaken 19:40, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * One of the key differences between stubs on Wikipedia and here is that an encyclopedia article is essentially an extended definition of something. So a stub like "Paa liebigii is a species of frog in the Ranidae family" is already of some use, since it gives a definition. Perhaps we should distinguish between "just started" (doesn't serve its essential purpose) and "needs expansion" (serves its essential purpose, but lacks significant content). On Wikipedia, the former is almost always satisfied at creation, so 'stub' refers exclusively to the latter. Deleting "needs expansion" stubs would likely be inappropriate, though most stubs here would be considered "just started". If we do make this distinction, I think any sort of grace period between tagging and deletion should be shorter, say 7 days. This should encourage editors to expand useless stubs while the subject is still on their minds, as well as help stop serial stubbists early on. -- Rf 21:38, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with this. At Wikiversity, we generally don't call the second type of resource (such as Harvard chart method) stubs at all. --Claritas 21:45, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Exactly, I think the former should be subject to a 30 or 60 day review and deletion if not improved and the latter should not be considered stubs but rather fodder for the "incubator" MyNameWasTaken 22:50, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
