Cheapflights

Cheapflights is a travel fare metasearch engine. The website is part of the Kayak.com subsidiary of Booking Holdings.

Its websites publish flight prices, and compare prices from suppliers, including major airlines, through tiny travel agents.

Agents advertise on the Cheapflights websites and are charged on a pay-per-click basis for users who link through to their websites.

History
Cheapflights was founded in 1996 by John Hatt. That year, its first website, www.cheapflights.co.uk, launched. In 2000, ex-ABN Amro banker David Soskin and Hugo Burge led a buyout of the website from its founder. The website was the first in the UK to launch the pay-per-click online advertising remuneration model.

In May 2003, the US website, www.cheapflights.com, was launched. In 2006, the website handled £1 billion in annual travel sales. In April 2007, the Canadian website, www.cheapflights.ca, was launched. In October 2008, the first non-English website, www.cheapflug.de, was launched. Co-founder David Soskin resigned as chief executive to become vice-chairman that same year. In 2009, the Australia / New Zealand website was launched.

In January 2011, the company launched mobile websites. In March 2011, the company acquired momondo, a rival online travel agency. The two websites and brands were kept independent of each other. It also discontinued Zugu. In October 2014, Great Hill Partners, a private-equity firm, invested £80m for a majority stake in the company that owned Cheapflights and momondo, valuing it at £132 million. In February 2015, the South African website was launched. In June 2015, the United Kingdom website was launched as a metasearch engine. In June 2016, Cheapflights added search capability within Facebook Messenger. In October, Cheapflights reorganized some of its staff. In July 2017, Cheapflights and momondo were acquired by Booking Holdings for $550 million.

KQMT

KQMT (99.5 FM, "99-5 The Mountain") is a classic rock radio station serving the Denver, Colorado Metropolitan Area. The station is owned and operated by is Audacy, Inc. with its studios located in the Denver Tech Center district. Its main transmitter is located on Lookout Mountain near Golden, with a backup transmitter location on Ruby Hill in Denver. KQMT broadcasts in HD and is available on the Audacy audio platform.

Classical (1957–1996)
In October 1957, the station signed on as KDEN-FM, and then in 1969, changed call letters to KVOD.

KVOD was originally a commercial radio station, marketing as the voice of classical music for the Denver Metro area. In November 1995, Henry Broadcasting Company announced it would sell the station to Tribune Broadcasting.

Classic hits (1996–2002)
On February 18, 1996, as part of a format transfer, KVOD began simulcasting on 92.5 FM following the sale of the 99.5 frequency to Tribune, who launched a classic rock format called KKHK ("The Hawk") on March 4. Tribune then sold the station to Entercom Communications in January 2002.

Classic rock (2002–present)
A few months after the sale, KKHK rebranded as "The Mountain", and changed call letters to the current KQMT.

KQMT's original studios were located on South Girard Street at 10200 E. Girard in southeast Denver until 2005, when they moved into their current studios in the Denver Tech Center.

In June 2016, longtime market veteran and afternoon personality Dan Mitchell relocated to Texas, with Dan Hardee coming on board from crosstown KYGO and KOSI to host afternoons. Shortly after, Allie Hartwick joined the air staff, along with longtime market veteran "The G-Man" taking over nights.

On November 19, 2018, at 6:00 a.m., KQMT started Stunting with all-Rolling Stones songs with afternoon personality Dan Hardee to promote upcoming spring concert "Stones No Filter" at Broncos Stadium at Mile High; it ended at 12:02 a.m. the following morning.

In January 2019, after sixteen years at KQMT, Mike Casey left as Morning Host. Casey had previously served as Music Director and Midday host before moving to Mornings in 2008. While with KQMT, Casey was famous for hosting Barrel of Monkeys and the Resurrection Jukebox.

In September 2019, former WLHK Indianapolis morning personality Dave O'Brien joined the air staff for mornings.

In January 2020, KQMT, along with all other Entercom-owned stations, began airing morning and afternoon traffic reports, with Allie Hartwick and Erin Doyle serving as reporters.

In June 2020, KQMT began branding itself as home of the "2 Minute Promise", featuring commercial breaks that were no longer than 2 minutes in length, similar to company sister station KNDD in Seattle. The feature was soon adopted at all Entercom-owned Alternative stations nationwide. The 2 Minute Promise was eventually phased out in many markets in late 2021.

On March 30, 2021, KQMT and all other Entercom-owned stations were rebranded under the new Audacy audio platform.

In April 2022, Jolene Shearer, long-time night personality at KISW Seattle, joined the airstaff as midday host, with Remy Maxwell of KZJK Minneapolis coming on board for nights.

Black Film Review

Black Film Review (BFR) was an international publication focusing on films and filmmakers from the African diaspora, with a focus on independent cinema. BFR was published from 1984 to 1995. Its headquarters was in Washington DC.

History
Founded by David Nicholson in 1984, the first undated issue of the publication was a one-page newsletter Nicholson produced on his PC, photocopied, and sent to several friends. The magazine was published by Sojourner Productions on a quarterly basis.

Three more home-made issues followed, including a 24-page issue that included the magazine's first coverage of the Festival of Pan African Cinema Ouagadougu (FESPACO), an interview with Hollywood star Denzel Washington, and poetry by Amiri Baraka. In 1985, Nicholson entered into a co-publishing agreement with Anthony Gittens, director of the Black Film Institute of the University of the District of Columbia. With funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, the magazine was published in a redesigned format on glossy paper with photographs.

Editorship
Though Nicholson joined the staff of The Washington Post Book World as an editor and book reviewer in 1986, he continued to produce the magazine as editor and publisher for another year before turning over responsibility for it to Jacquie Jones. Under Jones, the publication expanded its coverage of Panafrican film and filmmakers, gaining significant acclaim. It was used as a text at many film schools within the United States and abroad. Contributors included film scholars Donald Bogle, Phyllis Klotman, Pat Aufderheide, Manthia Diawara, and Clyde Taylor.

During its last two years of publication, BFR was co-published by Eric Easter, and edited by historian Leasa Farrar Frazer.

Dmitry of Tver

Dmitry Mikhailovich (Дмитрий Михайлович; 1298 – 15 September 1326), nicknamed the Fearsome Eyes or the Terrible Eyes (Грозные Очи), was Prince of Tver from 1318 and Grand Prince of Vladimir from 1322 until his death in 1326, when he was executed in Sarai by the Mongols. He was a son of Mikhail of Tver and Anna of Kashin.

Life
Dmitry continued his father's fight with Grand Prince Yuri Danilovich of Moscow for the yarlik (also iarlik) that is, the diploma or patent of office for the title of Grand Prince of Vladimir, which was granted by the Khan of the Golden Horde. The title was much desired because the Grand Prince of Vladimir was the khan's tax-collector in Rus', and as such could gain authority and real power over the other princes of Rus'.

Following Yury's machinations which led the khan to grant the yarlik to Moscow and their father's execution by the Horde in 1318, Dmitry and his brother, Alexander, fought a series of battles with Yury. They prevailed against him at the Horde, culminating in Dmitry's acquisition of the yarlik of office for the grand princely throne in 1322 and his murder of Yury at the Horde (in Sarai) three years later in 1325. Dmitry was himself arrested for the murder and executed in Sarai on the orders of Uzbeg Khan in 1326, while Yury's remains were returned to Moscow and buried by the bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church headed by Metropolitan Peter. Dmitry's remains were taken back to Tver and interred in the cathedral there.

Pat O'Brien (aka Django or Ray Reese) is an outlaw from Texas who's accused of killing his wife, who now, as a fugitive from justice residing in Mexico, finds himself as an officer in the Mexican army, an underling under General Miguel Camargo (José Nieto), also a known bandit, and his job is to protect the General's property from Espada (Miguel del Castillo) and his bandit gang. Django is accused of killing the nephew of a wealthy land owner named Don Cristibal Riaño (Jesús Tordesillas), an emperor Maximiliano's supporter, and when Camargo begins to show interest in Francesca Riaño (Elisa Montés), a young widow living in Riano's house, he also finds himself accused of the murder.

After extensive inquiries, O'Brien, or Django, manages to piece together the story of the nephew's death, and discovers that Riano himself is the culprit. Espada's bandit gang strikes again, as Django succeeds in killing most of them in his defense of the General's property.

Finally, Django gets the girl (Francesca), with whom he's fallen in love with, as Camargo left to look after himself in the future.

Since 2018, TDF is one of the 28 festivals included in the American Academy of Motion Picture, Arts and Sciences Documentary Feature Qualifying Festival List. TDF is organized by the Thessaloniki Film Festival cultural institution, which further organizes the annual Thessaloniki International Film Festival, held every November. French producer Elise Jalladeu is TDF's general director; film critic Orestes Andreadakis serves as its director.

Overview
The Thessaloniki Documentary Festival focuses on independent documentary film and emerging documentarists from around the world. TDF is one of the leading documentary festivals globally, with an audience measuring up to 85.000 yearly.

TDF is held at the historical “Olympion” theater at the central Thessaloniki Aristotelous Square, at four theaters housed at two restored warehouses at the Thessaloniki Port, and at cinemas across Thessaloniki. The festival hub is Warehouse C, located at the city port.

 * That's because Linda Chavez, the former unionist (she used to be an AFT staff person), is now a very conservative Republican. She was nominated by Bush II to be Secretary of Labor. But the press found out that she employed an illegal immigrant as her housekeeper and hadn't paid income or SS taxes for her. She withdrew her nomination, very angrily. The "liberalism" tag was placed there by someone else, who clearly wanted to distinguish between the "liberal" and the "conservative" individuals.  I agree, it could be NPOV.
 * I'm leery of linking to articles online. Most of the citations I used were found in libraries using reference texts, not online. The few which I was able to find online (like the NY Times articles) are pay-to-view. That's the problem with most newspaper articles: Newspapers very quickly (usually within 10-14 days) put them in a pay-to-view area, which makes linking to them useless. - Tim1965 18:24, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's fair. Now that I think of it, most of the articles I've used lately are through library databases, which most folks can't access directly. I withdraw my question. (Remember that last line, from The Simpsons?) – Scartol  ·  Talk  21:48, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

retirement?
Should the fact of her running for lt. gov in 2010 be under political work rather than retirement? Bshirley (talk) 16:00, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

 Vignoles Bridge There are ten scheduled monuments in Coventry. In the United Kingdom, a scheduled monument is a "nationally important" archaeological site or historic building that has been given protection against unauthorised change by being placed on a list (or "schedule") by the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport; English Heritage takes the leading role in identifying such sites. Monuments are defined in the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 and the National Heritage Act 1983. Coventry is an ancient city and a metropolitan borough in the West Midlands of England. The city's history dates back to at least the 11th century (CE), and by the 14th century, it was a thriving centre of commerce. The oldest monuments in Coventry – Caludon Castle and St Mary's Priory and Cathedral – were built in the 11th century. Both are now ruins. Coventry's newest scheduled monument is Vignoles Bridge (pictured) – a single-span iron footbridge over the River Sherbourne, made in 1835 and moved to its current location in 1969. (Full list...)

The End of St. Petersburg

The End of St. Petersburg (Конец Санкт-Петербурга) is a 1927 silent film directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin and produced by Mezhrabpom. Commissioned to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution, The End of St Petersburg was to be one of Pudovkin's most famous films and secured his place as one of the foremost Soviet montage film directors.

A political film, it depicts the Bolsheviks' rise to power in 1917. The plot covers the period from about 1913 to 1917. Political figures of the time are not shown; the emphasis is on the struggle of ordinary people for their rights and for peace against the power of capital and the autocracy.

The film forms part of Pudovkin's 'revolutionary trilogy', alongside Mother (1926) and Storm Over Asia (aka The Heir to Genghis Khan) (1928).

The film inspired the composer Vernon Duke to write his eponymous oratorio (completed in 1937).

Plot
A peasant boy leaves his rural community and arrives in St. Petersburg to obtain employment. He stays in the basement apartment of a Bolshevik worker. When the workforce at the Lebedev factory goes on strike, the Bolshevik worker's wife fears their family will starve.

The boy is offered a job in the Lebedev factory. He naively tells the management which employees started the strike, and he leads them to the Bolshevik worker's home. This results in the Bolshevik worker and his fellow communists being arrested. The boy is shocked by the consequences of his actions.

The boy goes to the factory office, hoping to convince the boss to free the Bolshevik worker. After a violent fight with the management, the boy is arrested and forcibly enlisted in the Imperial Russian Army. Meanwhile, the aristocracy decides to enter World War I.

The war continues for three years, during which the Russian military suffers many casualties. In 1917, the Imperial government has prioritized making weapons over feeding its people, and starving citizens riot. The Tsar is overthrown and the Provisional Government is instated, to the delight of the upper class.

The working class decides to overthrow the capitalist ministers. The Russian soldiers are called back from the front to support the Provisional Government and "save the Revolution from communist traitors." The Bolshevik worker appears as the soldiers get ready to march on the city. The boy appears and makes his way to the front and orders the soldiers to lower their weapons, which they obey. The Bolshevik worker convinces the military to join the Soviet cause.

The Soviets attack the Winter Palace and, after a violent battle, emerge victorious. The next morning, the wife comes looking for her husband. She shares potatoes with the soldiers and tends to the boy, who had been wounded. She is happily reunited with her husband in a church. The film declares "St. Petersburg is no more," and "Long live the City of Lenin."

Chest pain

Physicians will typically keep asking a patient about chest pain even after they have identified it as pressure. Emergency Room Physicians need to consider whether pain is esophageal acid reflux [burning], musculoskeletal pain[stabbing or with movemment] or cardiac pain [at rest or exertional], the latter requiring a 'chest pain protocol' evaluating cardiac enzymes creatine kinase and toponin and ending with a stress test or cardiac catheterization in the hospital. It may help for the evaluator to write out 'chest pain' or 'chest pressure'[feeling of ‘heaviness of chest’]and refer back to this to expedite the interview. Associated symptoms are pain in the neck, jaws, shoulders, arms or hands; breathlessness [dyspnea], inappropriate sweating, nausea, or exertional dizziness or physical exhaustion. It is important to memorize this list so that you can say you have reviewed a complete set with the patient. Diabetes reduces or obliterates symptoms of myocardial ischaemia and infarction because of autonomic neuropathy. Associated physical signs of an impending heart attack [angina, ischemia] or heart attack [myocardial infarction] are high or low blood pressure,increased pulse rate[tachycardia) and respiratory rate[tachypnoea]. Dyspnea and/or Pain on inspiration [pleurisy] should be evaluated by computed tomography for pulmonary embolus, another fatal treatable process.

Carbon nanohoop

Carbon nanohoops are a class of molecules consisting of aromatic sections curved out of planarity by the inherent cyclic geometry of the molecule. This class of molecules came into existence with the synthesis of cycloparaphenylenes by Ramesh Jasti in the lab of Carolyn Bertozzi and since then has been expanded into cyclonaphthylenes, cyclochrysenylenes, and even cyclohexabenzocoronenylenes. Moreover, several nanohoops containing such antiaromatic units as dibenzo[a,e]pentalene and pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole are reported. Carbon nanohoops often map on to a certain chirality of carbon nanotube. If the diameter is adequate, these molecules can host a fullerene. For example, [10]cycloparaphenylene can host a C60 fullerene.

Jean Horsley

Jean Alice Horsley (15 February 1913 – 21 August 1997) was a New Zealand artist. Her work is held in the permanent collection of the Auckland City Art Gallery.

Career
Horsley attended the Elam School of Fine Art at the University of Auckland, and in 1934 traveled to the United Kingdom to study at London's Chelsea School of Art.

She returned to New Zealand due to World War II and trained as a physical therapist. She continued her interest in sketching and painting, taking lessons from Colin McCahon and through summer schools.

Following the end of the war, Horsley traveled to Japan, South Africa, and the USA. She moved to London in 1961 for seven years, and then to New York, where she stayed for fifteen years. During this time she continued to paint and exhibit.

In 1981, Horsley returned to New Zealand and settled in Auckland.

Horsley's paintings are abstract in style, often working in oils or watercolor. She was influenced heavily by the work of the abstract expressionists, especially artists whose work she was exposed to while in New York, including Philip Guston, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, and Helen Frankenthaler.

Notable works by Horsley include: Maori Mere.

In the 1996 New Year Honours, Horsley was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, for services to art.

Exhibitions
Horsley exhibited regularly with the Auckland Society of the Arts between 1935 and 1938, and was included alongside M. Rainier and Freda Simmonds in the 1957 exhibition Three Women Painters. She also held a shared exhibition with Louise Henderson at the New Vision Gallery in 1966.

She exhibited with the Rutland Group, an organisation formed by students from the Elam School of Fine Art and The Group, an informal art association from Christchurch, New Zealand, formed to provide a freer alternative to the Canterbury Society of Arts. She contributed works to multiple exhibitions by The Group including in: 1955; 1957; and 1960.

During her time in England, Horsley exhibited alongside fellow expatriates Ralph Hotere, Bill Culbert, and Ted Bulmore.

In 1997 a retrospective exhibit of Horsley's work entitled, Seize the Day: A Tribute to Jean Horsley, was held at the Auckland City Art Gallery.

Wikijunior:South America/Falkland Islands

Welcome to the Falkland Islands! The Falklands (as they are known locally) are a group of islands 300+ miles (500 km) of the coast of South America. The Falklands are a self-governing overseas territory of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland; they are claimed as part of Argentina by the Argentine constitution. The Falkland Islands Government control their own affairs, such as schools, hospitals and taxes. In the islands is a passage called the Falkland Sound which the islands are named after, which goes through the middle of the islands.

The Geography
The Falkland Islands are made up of two main islands and over 750 small islands.The total land area is 4,700 square miles (12,000 km2).Surrounded by cool South Atlantic waters, the Falkland Islands have a climate very much influenced by the ocean. January averages about 9 °C, with average daily high of 13 °C, while July averages about 2 °C with average daily high 4 °C. Rainfall is relatively low at about 24 inches (610 mm). Humidity and winds, however, are constantly high. Snow is rare, but can occur at almost any time of year.

The people
Argentines call them the Islas Malvinas. Their claim is due to them being near Argentina and in the past East Falkland islands was sold to Spain by the French. The Spanish left the Islands in 1811, 5 years before Argentina declared its independence from Spain in 1816.

The main ways in which the islands make money are by fishing in the rich seas around the islands and wool from the sheep which live on the islands. In the past, wool was so important that the flag had a picture of a sheep on it!

The Falklands War Argentina claims that the islands belong to them. So in 1982, the Argentine government invaded the islands and said they were theirs. The British Government responded by liberating the Islands after 74 days, and sank an Argentine ship called the Belgrano. More than 1000 people were killed, virtually all of them soldiers.

User:NotKieronCarlos

About me
Thanks for spending the time to read my page! I'm Kieron, and I really don't care how you say my name, as long as it's somewhat recognizeable. From a young age, I've always been interested in the "giant robot" genre of TV and cartoons, highly technical videogames with a high skill ceiling, and puzzles. As a result, my current hobbies include building gundam model kits, competitive fighting games, and speedcubing. I like to think I leave a memorable impact on most people I meet, although that's a tad bit unrealistic.

Contribution to Wikipedia
I'd like to contribute where I can to the seemingly outdated speedcubing article and it's related pages; the pages relating to my other hobbies and interests seem to be fairlycomplete and not in need of updating. Many notable advancements in speedcube hardware, such as the inclusion of magnets for stability and adjustable tensioning for the flexibility of the puzzle, among others, are undocumented on both the speedcubing article, the Rubik's Cube page, and its variants.

Article evaluation
I'm part of a community of people who solve the Rubik's Cube and its variants and compete for quick times. The competetive activity of solving for speed is called speedcubing or speedsolving. I visited the speedcubing page on Wikipedia, and found three things worth commenting on: the world record log is out of date, it has multiple instances of uncited information, and it contains unncecesary sections which are redundant or too specific.

Outdated
Under the heading "World Records", an image is shown displaying the progression of the world record for the 3x3x3 cube up until 2017 with Mats Valk's 5.55 second single. Since that date, the record has been broken and a new record holder recognized. The current 3x3x3 record, displayed in the table above, is held by Yusheng Du with a 3.47 single solve. In that same table, the records for 3x3x3 one-handed and 3x3x3 with feet have been broken and have not been updated. World records are a big deal and are seemingly very easy to update.

Uncited facts
A majority of the information on the page is cited completely and verifiable, but there are a few pieces which are uncited or are circular references. The entire section for the ZZ method of solving the 3x3x3 is linked to only one citation, and the section for corners-first methods has no citations whatsoever, making it hard to tell if the information is accurate or reliable.

Too specific
In the section headed "Terminology" there are two separate terms listed for very similar meanings: "Pop" and "Explode", both referring to when a puzzle falls apart violently due to aggressive handling or unstable hardware. Between these two, one needs to be deleted or reduced to a mention within the other's entry. An entire headed section is dedicated to the different lubricants commonly used for speedcubing, and contains a poorly formatted list of lubricants. The page could make do with just explaining that lubes are used and that variants exist.

Summary
All things considered, the page does a fairly good job at providing a background for the sport. It could use some work in updating current records, citing sources on odd bits of information and cleaning up unnecessary and redundant information. I think a small bit of cleanup will greatly improve the article. (As part of this assignment I have updated the table of current world records using data from The World Cube Association.)

Walter Korn

Walter Korn (May 22, 1908 in Prague, Bohemia, Austria-Hungary (now Czech Republic) – July 9, 1997 in San Mateo, California, United States) was an Austro-Hungarian writer of books and magazine articles about chess. Despite his status as a writer, there is no known record of him playing tournament chess, and few chess players ever met him. One of his few known games is a draw against a 13-year-old Gordon Crown, published in the April 1943 issue of Chess. Korn was a FIDE International Judge for chess compositions and contributed the entire topic of chess for the Encyclopædia Britannica (1972).

Korn was the writer of Modern Chess Openings (MCO) (revised editions 7 through 12, 13th revised by Nick de Firmian), which was considered an authoritative work on the openings of chess. A new edition of MCO would come out every five years or so, and it was essential reading for tournament chess players.

In later years, Korn enlisted the help of top players, such as Grandmaster Larry Evans and Grandmaster Nick de Firmian, while continuing as a co-author.

Korn fled his homeland for London in 1939. Several years later, in Germany, he directed the U.N. Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, helping to relocate concentration camp survivors. In 1948, he served as national director of World ORT in Geneva. He immigrated to the United States in 1950, and lived in Detroit, where he worked as business manager of the Jewish Community Center. From 1960 to 1964, he lived in Israel, working for both the Joint Distribution Committee and the United Jewish Appeal.

The Jinping-II dam, on the other hand, actually diverts water completely under the mountains which is not only more directly related to the article but is also quite unique for a hydroelectric project.

2020 AFL season

The 2020 AFL season was the 124th season of the Australian Football League (AFL), the highest level senior men's Australian rules football competition in Australia, which was known as the Victorian Football League until 1989. The season featured eighteen clubs.

Played during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the season commenced on 19 March and was suspended four days later; it resumed on 11 June and ran until 24 October. A shortened season was played, comprising a 17-game home-and-away season followed by a finals series featuring the top eight clubs; all matches were shortened to 80% of their usual length. Virus outbreaks and interstate travel restrictions precluded games in many states for much of the season, with all clubs spending parts of the season temporarily relocated to quarantine hubs, particularly in South East Queensland where almost half of all matches were played – including the Grand Final, the first time it had been played outside Victoria. Health directives resulted in restricted match attendances throughout the year, including thirty matches played behind closed doors.

The premiership was won by the Richmond Football Club for the 13th time and second time consecutively, after it defeated by 31 points in the 2020 AFL Grand Final.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
The 2020 season was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which was formally declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on 11 March 2020, eight days prior to the scheduled start of the premiership season. Restrictions imposed by the different state governments related to social distancing, lockdowns of non-essential services which lasted for three months across the country, and border controls for interstate and international travel, all had significant effects on the completion of the 2020 season.

Fixture
Prior to the commencement of the season, anticipating that the season would be forced to cease at the peak of the virus, the AFL announced the fixture would be shortened from 22 matches per team to 17, with each team playing each other once and serving one bye. The season then commenced on 19 March as originally scheduled; but as restrictions, followed by periods of formal quarantine, were introduced on interstate travel, the season was suspended after Round 1.

The season was suspended for more than two months. On 15 May, as most states began easing restrictions, the league's plan to resume the season was announced: clubs began non-contact training from 18 May, and full contact training from 25 May ahead of resuming competitive matches from 11 June, with the revised fixture released gradually throughout the year, and changing regularly and often at short notice when the situation forced it.

The first major fixturing challenge occurred in the aftermath of Round 4, when a spike in Victorian COVID-19 cases prompted other states to either impose tighter quarantine restrictions on Victorians, or defer the relaxation of restrictions already in place. Although this forced two planned Round 5 matches - ( vs and  vs ) - to be redrawn at less than a week's notice (Richmond instead faced Melbourne in Victoria, and Sydney faced West Coast in Queensland), and the entire planned Round 6 and 7 fixtures to be redrawn, the season continued without suspension. The gradual release of the fixture also allowed the flexibility to reschedule any games which were postponed due to positive COVID-19 tests among players or staff.

When games were postponed or rescheduled at short notice, other games within the same round were often also rescheduled to ensure the primetime television slots were filled.

Club medical restrictions
During the peak of the hiatus, players were allowed to train only within the strict limits of the government restrictions on public gatherings; at the height of the pandemic in April and May, when gatherings larger than two were restricted, which meant players could train only in pairs. When the league returned to training and playing, it was done with strict, enforceable protocols and monitoring in place to ensure that the clubs would not suffer a virus outbreak, and that any virus cases could be contained with minimal impact to the wider competition. To this effect, players, umpires and staff were regularly tested for the virus and continued to train mostly in small groups, allowing individual players or small groups to be segregated and contained in the event of positive cases. Players and club personnel were subject to protocols which extended to players' personal lives, which were above and beyond the lockdown guidelines still in place for the general public, in order to protect the AFL season from suffering an outbreak; and families and partners who were part of quarantine hubs came under the same restrictions.

There were many breaches during the season, resulting in fines for the players and clubs involved, or suspensions in the most egregious cases:
 * 's Sydney Stack and Callum Coleman-Jones (ten matches each), for being involved in a fight outside a Surfers Paradise kebab shop in the early hours of 4 September.
 * 's Elijah Taylor (rest of season, which amounted to six home-and-away matches), for bringing his girlfriend into the club's Perth quarantine hotel.
 * assistant coach Ben Hart (six training weeks), for allowing training groups to be too close to each other on a quarantine camp in early May.
 * 's Steele Sidebottom (four matches) and Lynden Dunn (one match), for travelling in an Uber and visiting more than one unauthorised house, the night concluding with Sidebottom being driven home by police.
 * 's Peter Ladhams (three matches) and Dan Houston (two matches), for inviting non-authorised residents to their house.
 * 's Charlie Spargo (two matches) and Kysaiah Pickett (one match), for travelling via an Uber to an unauthorised house for a gathering.
 * 's Ollie Wines (one week), for inviting a non-authorised resident to his house.

Throughout the season, AFL-listed players were not permitted to participate in the state league competitions (the VFL, SANFL, WAFL and NEAFL) due to the greater risk of external threats in the semi-professional state league environment; this meant there was no formal competitive reserves football for players who were not selected in the seniors. (The NEAFL and VFL ended up cancelling their seasons altogether). Clubs based in the same state were permitted to arrange ad hoc scratch matches for their unselected players against each other and in empty stadiums to enable some match practice; these could be stand-alone games or curtain raisers to senior games.

Quarantine hubs and club relocation
Interstate travel restrictions and quarantine periods were a significant impediment to the completion of the season after the resumption, with many state border crossings subject to mandatory 14-day quarantine periods. Western Australia and Tasmania had the tightest restrictions, requiring quarantine for all entries throughout the entire season; South Australia had similar restrictions which were loosened after Round 5. Border crossings around the rest of the country were freer; but, as second waves of virus cases occurred in Victoria (after Round 5) and New South Wales (after Round 10), quarantines were imposed on travellers leaving those states. This precluded a conventional interstate home-and-away fixture, and meant that Queensland – which maintained few virus cases and had the most favourable quarantine arrangements – became critical to the completion of the season.

The border restrictions were managed by requiring several clubs to relocate outside their states; or, to set-up in weeks-long quarantine hubs, in which clubs travelled at the same time to a restricted state for an extended three- or four-week trip, quarantined there and played several games against other teams in the hub. Players' immediate families were permitted to join them at the league's expense, but were subject to the same lifestyle restrictions and virus testing regime as the players.

The relocation of all ten Victorian clubs occurred after Round 5. ,, , , and  moved to south-east Queensland; and , ,  and  moved to New South Wales. The relocation of the six New South Wales based clubs (, and the four Victorian clubs) to Queensland then occurred after Round 8. These relocations lasted until the end of the season.

The season's first quarantine hub occurred immediately after the resumption, and featured the clubs from South Australia and Western Australia – the most tightly restricted state at that time. The clubs were relocated to south-east Queensland – with the Western Australian teams arriving in Round 2 and the South Australian teams arriving in Round 3 (after their Round 2 Showdown game in Adelaide). The visiting teams played each other and the two Queensland-based clubs in a hub until Round 5. The two West Australian teams remained in the hub for an additional week and flew back to West Australia following Round 6, and the South Australian hub members returned to South Australia after Round 5 but still travelled weekly to Queensland over subsequent weeks.

From that point on, three three-week quarantine hubs were staged in Perth, to allow matches to be played there despite season-long quarantine requirements. Each time, two interstate clubs travelled at once from Queensland, and played each other while in quarantine, then the two Perth clubs while out of quarantine. These hubs were:
 * Rounds 7–9: and
 * Rounds 9–12: and  (including a bye)
 * Rounds 12–14: and

and later returned to a Queensland hub for the final four rounds of the home-and-away season.

Teams could also travel from Queensland to the Northern Territory, where three games were played. However, season-long Tasmanian border restrictions to all states resulted in no AFL matches being played in the state for the first time since 2000.

Border restrictions ultimately also precluded the playing of any finals in Victoria or New South Wales – including the Grand Final – and limited finals in Western Australia to the first week only, since the bye week after Round 18 allowed time to quarantine. For the first three weeks of finals, clubs unable to play in their home states were given the option to nominate a preferred home ground from the Gabba, Metricon Stadium and Adelaide Oval for home finals. On 2 September, the Grand Final was formally scheduled for Saturday 24 October, the latest in the year a Grand Final had been played; it was scheduled at night to avoid a clash with the 100th running of the Cox Plate that afternoon, making it the first Grand Final not to be played in the afternoon timeslot; and, it was scheduled at the Gabba, making it the first AFL Grand Final to be played outside of Melbourne.

The hub arrangements resulted in many other fixturing anomalies. Among the most notable occurred in Round 6, when all nine games were played in New South Wales and Queensland, traditionally rugby league territory. Whole rounds were played with no matches in Melbourne, which had only previously occurred in Round 8, 1952 (the promotional National Day Round). Clubs hosted several fixtured home games at interstate venues, and hub stadiums were sometimes used for multiple games on the same day – the first time this had happened in senior VFL/AFL football since a double-header in Round 19, 1986. The desire to compress the schedule meant that the seven-game Round 10 and six-game Round 15 were played entirely on weekdays, the first time this had happened outside of rounds played on a public holiday.

Crowds
Government restrictions on gatherings meant that, starting in Round 1, crowds were locked out of senior VFL/AFL matches for the first time in the code's history. State governments gradually allowed crowds, often small and restricted in size, into games, starting immediately from the resumption in Round 2 in South Australia and New South Wales, from Round 3 in Queensland, and from football's resumption in Round 7 in Western Australia. The sizes of allowable crowds changed as the season progressed, with early season Queensland and New South Wales crowds limited to only a few hundred, while half-full crowds were allowed in the largely virus-free Western Australia from Round 7.

Starting in Round 2, after the resumption of the season, broadcasters experimented with adding artificial crowd noise to lend a more normal feel to their telecasts to overcome the lack of genuine crowds in stadiums.

All in all, the total attendance for 2020 (1,033,037) was only 13.74% of 2019's unaffected 7,517,677 total. Similarly, due to the shortened season, the average attendance of 6,377 per game was 17.56% of the 2019 season's average of 36,317.

Rule changes
Throughout the season, matches were played for a shortened length of 16 minutes plus time on per quarter, instead of 20 minutes plus time on. This was originally done at the start of the season, in the hope that playing shorter games could facilitate more frequent games than weekly, maximising the games which could be played before the anticipated suspension of the season; but this did not eventuate, since the season was suspended after only one round. It was then retained after the resumption to lighten the load on players to take account for the compromised training schedule; and, to allow make-up games to be more easily scheduled between rounds when matches were postponed or refixtured. As a direct result of this, it was a very low-scoring season, and several records or long-standing marks in low scoring were set during the season.

Financials
When the season was suspended, the league and clubs were faced with an acute cash-flow shortage, as the gate and broadcast revenues which had been budgeted for stopped immediately; clubs deriving revenues from gaming and other public venues also saw those revenues drop when public gatherings were restricted. The league and clubs all stood down or severely reduced hours for huge percentages of their staff during the suspension; furthermore, the AFL agreed with both the AFLPA and ALFUA to enact significant play cuts for the players and umpires for the season, amounting to 50% of their wage from the point of the suspension until the end of the season, and increasing to 70% for any period of suspension which extends beyond the end of May. The league successfully obtained a $500–600 million line of credit with the National Australia Bank and ANZ Bank, leveraged against its ownership of Marvel Stadium, to cover its and its clubs' cash shortfalls during the suspension.

Resuming the season and playing the shortened 17-game season in full, even without crowds, was important to ensure the league still took in most of its television revenue. Prior to the resumption, the league renegotiated its $417-million-per-year broadcast deals with the Seven Network and Foxtel, ultimately resulting in a total television revenue reduction of approximately $150 million over 2020–2022. On top of this, the cost of running the Queensland hubs, including medical costs for ongoing COVID-19 testing, resulted in a $60 million expense for the league.

The overall financial losses for the league in the 2020 season, compared with the budgeted results prior to the pandemic, were less than but in the order of $100 million – a substantially better result than the $1 billion loss which was feared as a worst-case scenario when the season was originally suspended.

Other effects
Among the other direct impacts of the pandemic were:
 * The Dreamtime at the 'G match between and  was not played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground per its name, but instead at TIO Stadium in Darwin.
 * and did not play a match at Jiangwan Stadium in Shanghai, China, as scheduled as part of the original Round 11 – this decision was made prior to the season while the virus was still mostly prevalent only within China and prior to its spread in Australia,   but would eventually have been mandated by restrictions on international travel.
 * The two-Test international rules football series against Ireland, planned to have been played in Ireland in November, were cancelled.

Marsh Community Series
The pre-season series of games returned as the 2020 Marsh Community Series, with teams playing two games each. The games were stand-alone, with no overall winner of the series. Each team played two games, many at suburban or regional venues, while all games were televised on Fox Footy.

State of Origin for Bushfire Relief Match
A one-off benefit match was played on 28 February 2020, as a fundraiser for the relief effort for the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season. The league donated $2.5 million to disaster relief funds in association with the match. Selection for the two teams was under state of origin rules, and it was the first interstate representative match featuring AFL-listed players since the AFL Hall of Fame Tribute Match held in 2008. Played prior to the pandemic's spread to Australia, it was the highest-attended football match of the year.

Premiership season
As the coronavirus situation developed, only the first round was played as originally drawn. The rest of the fixture was redrawn into a new seventeen-round season in which each team played each other once. The new rescheduled fixture was released gradually through the season, often at short notice, to allow the fixture to respond to developments in the spread of the virus.

Climate Change/Mitigation Strategies/Office

 * Notices by every lightswitch encouraging people to turn lights off whenever they leave a room.
 * Lights in communal areas (toilets, corridors, etc.) timed to switch off automatically outside office hours. Perhaps install a movement sensor to switch the lights back on again for a few minutes.
 * Radiators to be turned off in toilets.
 * Powersave mode activated on all monitors so they are switched off automatically after a period of inactivity.
 * Encouragement to turn off all monitors and computers overnight unless absolutely necessary. (leaving one computer on every night for a year produces an excess of about 400 kg of CO2; so an office of 100 people could save about 40 tonnes of CO2 per year just by turning off their PCs every night (0.2 kW x 14 hours x 365 days x 0.43 kg CO_2 per kWh = 440 kg of CO2 per year)
 * Greater recycling provision, e.g. paper recycling box in every office, plastic/glass recycling in kitchen/common room. It's important to be able to recycle news papers and cardboard as well as just office paper.
 * Signs in the communal kitchens saying: "Only fill the kettle with as much water as you need. Never boil more water than you need.  If the kettle is on for only 2 minutes per boil then you emit about 100 kg of CO2 every year.  If it's on for 4 minutes per boil then you emit 200kg of CO2.  (2 kW x 365 days per year x (2 min/60 h/min) x 10 times per day x 0.43 kg of CO2 per kilowatt hour = 105 kg of CO2 per year)"
 * Encourage people to buy LCD screens rather than CRT (17" LCD uses ~40 watts; 17" CRT uses ~250 watts; CRT uses 6 times more power)
 * Bring own kitchenware. Avoid using paper/foam cups or plastic forks and spoons.
 * Set-up box for collecting electronic waste. Those will increase the rate of recycling batteries, electric bulbs, and also reusing some of old electronics.

Image segmentation

What is Image Segmentation?
Image Segmentation is the term used when an image is split up into different regions. This can be a fairly simple task, such as separating the pixels in the image where a black eagle is present from the pixels of the daylight sky. Segmenting camouflaged soldiers in the jungle is a significantly more challenging endeavor..

Thresholding and the binary image
Image thresholding is one of the most widely used techniques for segmenting an image due to its simplicity. The basic approach is to select an intensity which is our threshold value, and any pixel which has an intensity value above this value is considered to be part of region A and anything below is considered to be part of region B.

The key parameter in thresholding is obviously the choice of the threshold. Several different methods for choosing a threshold exist. The simplest method would be to choose the mean or median value, the rationale being that if the object pixels are brighter than the background, they should also be brighter than the average. In a noiseless image with uniform background and object values, the mean or median will work beautifully as the threshold, however generally speaking, this will not be the case. A more sophisticated approach might be to create a histogram of the image pixel intensities and use the valley point as the threshold. The histogram approach assumes that there is some average value for the background and object pixels, but that the actual pixel values have some variation around these average values. However, computationally this is not as simple as we'd like, and many image histograms do not have clearly defined valley points. Ideally we're looking for a method for choosing the threshold which is simple, does not require too much prior knowledge of the image, and works well for noisy images. A good such approach is an iterative method, as follows:

1. An initial threshold (T) is chosen, this can be done randomly or according to any other method desired. 2. The image is segmented into object and background pixels as described above, creating two sets: 1. G1 = {f(m,n):f(m,n)>T} (object pixels) 2. G2 = {f(m,n):f(m,n)<T} (background pixels) (note, f(m,n) is the value of the pixel located in the mth column, nth row) 3. The average of each set is computed. 1. m1 = average value of G1        2. m2 = average value of G2   4. A new threshold is created that is the average of m1 and m2         1. T' = (m1 + m2)/2 5. Go back to step two, now using the new threshold computed in step 4, keep repeating until the new threshold matches the one before it (i.e. until convergence has been reached).

Another approach is to calculate the new threshold in step 4 using the weighted average of m1 and m2: T' = (||G1||*m1 + ||G2||*m2)/(||G1||+||G2||), where ||Gn|| is the number of pixels in Gn. This approach often gives a more accurate result.

Talk:Dolores Cross

Comment 1
Just browsing through some information when I came across this article. The opening sentence is almost offensive, it is so biased:

Dolores Cross is a celebrated educator and university administrator whose international reputation has been tarnished after she pled guilty to one count of fraud in connection with the mispplication of federal funds provided to Morris Brown College (MBC), a historically black college in Atlanta, Georgia, of which she was president from November 1998 until February 2002.

Is it possible to flag this article for review and clean-up? I'm not a Wiki editor or regular contributor, so I don't know how to go about it. Thanks <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:25, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Done. Flagged for POV review. Absolon S. Kent (talk) 02:28, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Wow, it's a year and half since it was tagged. I came upon the page today, and it had the exact lead as above and no POV tag. I rewrote the lead, made other neutral copy edits, and tagged it as needing more sources. I've added it to my watchlist because it appears that at least one editor is not a fan of Dolores Cross. momo  ricks  02:46, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Readd of POV tag
This article is still in need of review, thus I placed the NPOV tag back on the page. Terms like "celebrated educator," "international reputation," and "successful professor and university administrator" need to be toned down or removed to meet Wikipedia's neutral point of view principle. Absolon S. Kent (talk) 16:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I see what you're talking about. I removed the first two and rewrote some of that, now in retrospect, problematic language.  I have kept some comments on her having a successful early career because her work and accolades before the complete FUBAR at MBC objectively supports early career success. --Bobak (talk) 21:46, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

 * With all due respect, adding sources does not automatically "de-POV" an article. Undue weight on negative aspects of a living person's life is also POV, as is the header "The MBC Problem". I changed the headers to convey the charges and guilty plea as part of her tenure at Morris Brown not all of it. I also removed most of the footnotes from the lead, because 1) the lead should be a summary of cited information in the article text, and 2) five footnotes for a one-sentence lead conveys undue weight. momo  ricks  03:34, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

John Lawry (born June 15, 1950) is a Christian rock musician, composer, producer, and songwriter. He was the keyboardist of Petra from 1984 to 1994. After his departure, Lawry dedicated himself to producing and record engineering. From 2010 to 2012, he rejoined some of his former Petra bandmates to record and tour under the name of Classic Petra. In 2013, he officially rejoined Petra as their keyboardist.

Biography
According to his personal testimony as recorded on Petra's Captured In Time and Space live album, John was born in Japan but abandoned on the street. After being taken by missionaries to a mission home, he was subsequently adopted by an American family from Michigan. Lawry grew up in Millington, Michigan.

Lawry showed musical skills from an early age. When he was nine, he learned to play the accordion. When he grew up he went to Millington High School and was involved in the school band, where he played a variety of instruments. Lawry graduated in 1969 and continued working in music. Lawry contributed to several projects during the following years.

In 1982, he joined the Joe English Band and recorded three albums with them. He also recorded with the band's side project: Forerunner. Lawry met Petra founder and guitarist Bob Hartman during his time with the Joe English Band. After the departure of Petra keyboardist, John Slick, Lawry was asked to fill in for some shows, and eventually was asked to join the band. In 1984 he joined Petra recording a total of nine albums with the band. During this period, the band won three Grammys and several other awards.

In 1986, Lawry played a keyboard solo on Greg X. Volz (former Petra lead singer) first solo effort. In 1990, he released Media Alert as a solo album.

Lawry left Petra in 1994 to dedicate to a career producing and recording. He was replaced by his keyboard technician, Jim Cooper. He also released a second solo album, Excursions, in 1997.

In 2005, Lawry joined the stage again with Petra during one of the band's final presentations that were released as the Petra Farewell CD and DVD.

Lawry, along with the "classic" 1980s Petra lineup (John Lawry, Greg X. Volz, Bob Hartman, Mark Kelly, and Louie Weaver) reunited in 2010 under the name of Classic Petra.
