Cannabis rights

Cannabis rights or marijuana rights (sometimes more specifically cannabis consumer rights or stoner rights) are individual civil rights that vary by jurisdiction. The rights of people who consume cannabis include the right to be free from employment discrimination and housing discrimination.

Anti-cannabis laws include civil infractions and fines, imprisonment, and even the death penalty.

Legality
The use of cannabis for recreational purposes is prohibited in most countries. Many have adopted a policy of decriminalization to make simple possession a non-criminal offense (often similar to a minor traffic violation). Others have much more severe penalties such as some Asian and Middle Eastern countries where possession of even small amounts is punished by imprisonment for several years.

Social movement
The movement around cannabis laws and rights has been growing since as early as the 1960s. Multiple organizations both for and against cannabis usage have been created and merged over the past 60 years as the country has changed and perception of marijuana rights has changed. One pro-marijuana group is NORML (The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws). The conversation about cannabis rights has shifted from picket signs declaring "Pot is fun," to being about health and social justice. It's been noted that African-American communities may be suffering the most from the continued prohibition of cannabis, although consumption rates are approximately the same as white citizens. Arrests for African-Americans are 3.73 times higher in comparison. Activists hope to see those numbers decrease with gained rights.

American history
Until the 20th century, there were no prohibitions in the U.S. against growing and consuming cannabis. By the mid-20th century, possession of marijuana was a crime in every U.S. state (and most other countries). In 1996, the passing of Proposition 215 by California voters restored limited rights for medical cannabis patients in the state. Other states and countries have since joined California in guarding rights of cannabis consumers.

In the United States, much is unclear about cannabis rights because despite state laws, cannabis remains federally illegal. Consequently, cannabis consumers do not belong to a protected class. Courts will address the issues surrounding housing and employment law, and disability discrimination.

State vs. federal
As of 2019 in the United States, eleven states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical and recreational cannabis, with 25 more states decriminalizing the drug. Fourteen state and federal laws still classifies cannabis as illegal, placing cannabis as a "Schedule 1" drug. Being federally illegal, profits cannot be handled through federally-insured banks (including checks or deposits), so cannabis retailers are forced to use cash or remain vague about business practices.

Medical use
In the United States, the use of cannabis for medical purposes is legal in 33 states, four (out of five) permanently inhabited U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia.[11] An additional 14 states have more restrictive laws allowing the use of low-THC products.[11] Cannabis remains illegal at the federal level by way of the Controlled Substances Act, under which cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug with a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use. In December 2014, the Rohrabacher–Farr amendment was signed into law, prohibiting the Justice Department from prosecuting individuals acting in accordance with state medical cannabis laws.

An international argument for medical usage includes the right to health, as guaranteed by the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights. What determines "health" or "healthy" is disputed between individuals and governmental bodies.

Indonesian history
There were around two million cannabis users in Indonesia in 2014, reported by the National Anti-Narcotics Agency (Badan Narkotika Nasional - BNN). This makes cannabis the most popular drug in Indonesia followed by amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS) such as methamphetamine (shabu) and ecstasy. Most of the cannabis is distributed by the western province of Indonesia called Aceh. 37,923 people were imprisoned because of cannabis between 2009 and 2012. Twenty-six people were imprisoned, on average, each day. Because cannabis is the most common drug, consuming of cannabis goes up to 66 percent than other drugs in the country. The death penalty is given to the people who grow cannabis, or a minimum fine of $550,000, based on the National Anti-Narcoticts (BNN) law.

Religious use
Different religions have varying stances on the use of cannabis, historically and presently. In ancient history some religions used cannabis as an entheogen, particularly in the Indian subcontinent where the tradition continues on a more limited basis.

In the modern era Rastafari use cannabis as a sacred herb. Meanwhile, religions with prohibitions against intoxicants, such as Islam, Buddhism, Bahai, Latter-day Saints (Mormons), and others have opposed the use of cannabis by members, or in some cases opposed the liberalization of cannabis laws. Other groups, such as some Protestant and Jewish factions, have supported the use of medicinal cannabis.

We can only deal in fact, rather than say something is coming "very soon", we should wait until we know precise detail. Otherwise this site will be treated as a rumour mill.

Jimmy Dunnachie

James Francis Dunnachie JP (17 November 1930 – 7 September 1997), known as Jimmy Dunnachie, was a British politician from Scotland. He served as a Labour Party Member of Parliament from 1987 until 1997.

Early life
Dunnachie was born in Glasgow and educated at St Margaret's School in Kinning Park. His father was a ship's rigger and upon leaving school, he was apprenticed to Fairfield's yard on the River Clyde before becoming a fitter at the Rolls-Royce plant at Hillington in 1953. He was already active in the Amalgamated Engineering Union as a shop steward, and joined the Labour Party in 1967.

Political career
Dunnachie began his political career on Glasgow Corporation in 1972 in Pollokshaws ward. He worked on slum clearance as Chairman of the Clearance and Rehabilitation Committee; he lost his seat in 1977 when the Labour vote in Glasgow slumped. From 1978 he transferred to Strathclyde Regional Council and became Chair of the Social Work committee.

In the runup to the 1987 general election, Dunnachie was selected to follow James White as Labour candidate for Glasgow Pollok by 50 votes to 41 for Dave Churchley. Churchley was a member of the Militant tendency and there was some surprise at his failure to win the selection owing to the extent to which the local party was dominated by Militant supporters. An earlier round of voting had seen the Militant delegates vote for Dunnachie over Bob Gillespie, a non-Militant left-winger, which was speculated as deriving from their belief that Dunnachie would be easier for Churchley to beat; however it caused resentment among Gillespie's supporters.

Parliament
Dunnachie easily held the seat in 1987. He was re-elected in 1992, withstanding a challenge from Tommy Sheridan of Scottish Militant Labour who came second. In Parliament Dunnachie was a relatively quiet presence, usually allying with the left. He was appointed as an opposition Whip in 1988 and served until 1992, but opposed Neil Kinnock's move to drop Labour's commitment to unilateral nuclear disarmament. Initially he declared his intention not to pay his Community Charge (or Poll Tax) although he was never prosecuted for the offence, and observers have concluded that he must have decided not to fight.

Dunnachie was a strong opponent of animal testing of cosmetics and of fluoridation of drinking water. His Catholicism showed in votes in favour of Bills which restricted abortion and against any lowering in the age of consent for homosexual sex, and he also opposed a deregulation of Sunday trading in 1993. He supported Tony Blair in the Labour leadership election in 1994 (and John Prescott as Deputy Leader). That year it was noted that he was one of the few MPs who had made no Parliamentary speeches in the previous year.

Govan selection
Dunnachie's attendance suffered as the Parliament went on due to persistent ill-health. However he did not announce his retirement and when his constituency was redrawn in boundary changes, declared his intention to seek selection in Glasgow Govan. This move made the selection in Govan much more open and eventually doomed the chances of Mike Watson who was the sitting MP for Glasgow Central, the nomination going instead to Mohammad Sarwar.

In the event, Dunnachie died of cancer only a few months after the election.

= Masticating Juicer = Masticating juicer is a machine which use a single auger to compact and crush fruits, vegetables and wheat grass into smaller pieces before squeezing out the juice between the auger and a fine strainer, while the wastage pulp is ejected through a separate outlet.

Overview
Masticating juicer technology is designed to open up the cells of the fruits and vegetables to squeeze maximum of enzymes and proteins. Most important in this technology is that the gear rotates at the rate of 40-100 RPM, depending of masticating juicer model, which is ideal for keeping all the natural nutrients intact, squeezing the juice without any kind of oxidation.

The slow compression method of extracting juice is done at a cool temperature. Because of this, the slow juicing method retains heat-sensitive nutrients such as Vitamins A and C, and live enzymes.

History
In the mid-1950s, the first juicer was invented by Champion. The Champion juicer had a high speed of 4,000 rpm and causes a big friction. Because of this, the juice was heated and destroys all nutrients and live enzymes.

The Greenpower juicer was the first twin-gear juice extractor in the world, produced for the first time in 1993.

This juicer was the first based on old mortar-and-pestle method of pressing out the maximum living nutrients from fruits and vegetables without overheating.

Bukit Timah Satellite Earth Station

The Bukit Timah Satellite Earth Station (Chinese: 武吉知马卫星地面站; Stesen Satelit Bumi Bukit Timah) is the second satellite earth station in Singapore after Sentosa Satellite Earth Station in Sentosa Island.

The station is located in Bukit Timah near Chantek flyover between the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) and Pan Island Expressway (PIE).

As it is located next to the BKE, motorists coming into Singapore via the causeway see this as their first landmark other than Woodlands.

History
The station is managed and owned by Singtel with the construction starting in 1983 and finishing in December 1985. It was built due to the Sentosa Satellite Earth Station not being able to accommodate additional antennas. They decided to build the second satellite earth station at Bukit Timah due to it being further away from airports and having low radio frequency interference.

The station started operations in 1986.

The station cost sgd65,000,000 to build. A second satellite dish was built and finished in 1988.

In 1995, there were plans to invest an additional sgd12,000,000 into installing 3 additional satellite dishes at the Bukit Timah Satellite Earth Station and the Seletar Teleport.

Witch & Wizard (series)

Witch & Wizard is a series of dystopian fantasy novels written by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet. The first novel in the series, Witch & Wizard, was released in 2009. It was followed by a new book in the series each following year, with the exception of 2012, until the release of the last book in the series, The Lost, in 2014. Two graphic novels set in the series' world were released in 2010 and 2011 through IDW Press.

Witch & Wizard
The novel follows fifteen-year-old Wisty and her eighteen-year-old brother Whit in a dystopian future where people can be brought up on charges of witchcraft. The teens and their parents are charged with witchcraft despite their claims that magic does not exist. They are taken from their parents when they begin to show magical abilities after receiving a book and drumstick. The children meet The One Who Is The One, the leader of the political party the New Order. The teens are sentenced to be executed once they turn eighteen years of age.

Whit is reunited with his long-lost girlfriend Celia, who reveals that she's a half-light spirit that exists in an alternate dimension called the Shadowland. She teaches the two of them how to travel to and from Shadowland, through which they escape to a haven for persecuted children named Freeland. The siblings choose not to remain in the haven, as they wish to find their parents, and learn of a prophecy where they are Liberators who will bring about an end to the New Order. Wisty and Whit begin to plan to take down the regime and reluctantly accept help from Byron, a former classmate who had heavily taken part in their persecution and had been changed into a weasel by Wisty. The trio eventually return to their hometown, where they discover that the siblings' home has been demolished. There, they discover that their parents can communicate with them through magic. During this process, their seemingly worthless book and drumstick are transformed into a spellbook and a magic wand. Byron is also changed back into a human and charged with looking after the siblings.

The Gift
When Whit and Wisty Allgood were imprisoned by the wicked forces of the totalitarian regime known as the New Order, they were barely able to escape with their lives. Now part of a hidden community of teens like themselves, Whit and Wisty have established themselves as leaders of the Resistance, willing to sacrifice anything to save kidnapped and imprisoned kids.

At the same time, the villainous leader of the New Order is just a breath away from the ability to control the forces of nature and to manipulate his citizens on the most profound level imaginable: through their minds. He needs only one more thing to triumph in his evil quest: the Gifts of Whit and Wisty Allgood. And he will stop at nothing to seize them.

The Fire
The siblings Whit and Wisty Allgood have every reason to want to take down Nick, especially as he has taken everything and everyone from them. The One has continued his oppressive regime, going so far as to enforce strict censorship where any form of creative output, such as music or even one's imagination, is banned. A showdown is imminent between the three, which will decide the fates of their world.

The Kiss
With The One Who Is The One defeated, the siblings find that they face new challenges. Wisty is falling for a mysterious and possibly untrustworthy stranger named Heath, and a new power now poses a threat to their world: a Wizard King that has come from the mountains to wage war.

The Lost
After defeating not only The One Who Is The One but also his father and son, Whit and Wisty have finally started to relax and take on new roles. However, their peace is soon shattered when it becomes evident that a new magical threat is endangering their city, resulting in the city turning against magic and the siblings seriously doubting themselves and each other.

Characters

 * Wisteria "Wisty" Allgood - A rebellious fifteen-year-old who is shocked to discover her magical ability. Her main powers are the ability to burst into flames at random moments and glow. After learning to control her powers further, she can also turn herself into a mouse and freeze people and animals around her on accident. She also has the ability to cast spells through rhymes her parents taught her when she was young. She is the sister of Whit Allgood.
 * Whitford "Whit" Allgood - An eighteen-year-old 'All-American' athlete, he secretly struggles with depression after the unexplained disappearance of the girl he was in love with - Celia. Whit is a wizard, with the power to conjure food, objects, and most animals. He can also move objects with his mind. He is also a powerful healer.
 * Celia - Whit's girlfriend who disappeared mysteriously months before the beginning of the book. She was killed by the government but still exists as a Half-light.
 * Byron Swain - A classmate of the Allgoods, who betrays them to the government. Wisty accidentally temporarily turns him into a weasel (prompting her to call him the "Tattling Weasel" for the rest of the book). He realizes he is also madly in love with Wisty and would do anything for her.
 * Janine - A teenage girl who is usually the leader of the resistance group and is described as a 'cute girl' by Whit. She is best friends with Margo and is devastated when she is killed.
 * Sasha - Sasha first appears when he rescues the Allgood siblings in the Shadowland. He later lies to them in order to enlist their help in a jailbreak. Sasha is lanky with overgrown black hair.

Emblem
The location and the set of the symbols on the emblem of the Ural State University were officially approved on 24 April 2008.

The emblem centre represents the cross of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, the patroness of Yekaterinburg. This is the concave-spiked four-part cross. Spikes, which form the cross, refer to one more symbol – the staff of Egyptian priests, keepers of sacred knowledge. This staff is also called the staff of Anthony the Great, which symbolizes search and attainment of truth. A solar symbol – a cogwheel, put on the cross, symbolizes the sun and the light of knowledge. At the same time the wheel and the cross are St. Catherine's attribute, who, according to the legend, was condemned to be broken on the wheel.

The three books symbolize the unity of the natural sciences, the formal sciences and the humanities and refer to the motto of the emblem: “Beware the man of one book”. (Thomas Aquinas)

 * Why would you remove the PROD tag and take it to Afd and vote Keep? Just remove the PROD tag and it is a Keep! -- FloNight  talk  02:39, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep, per above. . PJM 01:53, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * If you enter the kanji for her name (青木裕子) you actually get 500,000 hits Nobunaga24 02:01, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep per nom -- T B C [[Image:Confused-tpvgames.gif|18px|]] ???  ???   ??? 02:01, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep, see below since nominator wants article kept and no delete votes yet. (Nobunaga, it's fine to remove a PROD tag without nominating for AfD.  Perhaps you know this and just wanted to make sure this PROD got discussed, but I thought I'd mention it just in case you didn't know.) --Allen 02:03, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I added to afd because I hate it when people just remove my prod tag, so I won't do it to someone else :). I figure if somebody wants to delete it, it's probably worth debating a bit. Nobunaga24 02:07, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep. Her picture was everywhere on the internet back in 1997-1998. -- JJay 02:15, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * speedy keep nothing contested. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 02:59, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * And what with all this "keep" talk the article as it stands could still be speedily deleted as having no claim to notability. I put a note to that effect on the talk page and prod-ed it instead of speedily deleting it myself, in fact.  Here's a bit of a crazy idea - put some of these references into the article.  I'll spare everyone the quotation from wp:v that says that the burden is on whomever wants an article included to provide sources. -  brenneman  {T}  {L}  04:05, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I've also reversed the "speedy keep" closure as testimony of editors isn't a source. Clearly someone *cough* me *cough* thought this was open to debate, as a prod tag had been added, and no actual citations have been provided to indicate notability, just some hand waving and a google search.  And while I suppose that there is nothing saying that someone known for their "large breasts" couldn't have gone on to do work in host sphingolipid biosynthesis as a target for hepatitis C virus I suspect that this is in fact a common name and many of these hits are spurious.  Can we see some actual sources, please.  brenneman  {T}  {L}  05:05, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The closer also un-closed at the same time as me (with no edit conflict?) so sorry that I was a bit narky about the quick close. brenneman  {T}  {L}  05:11, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * If you could read Japanese, you would know that if you do a search using kanji, that she was (and still is) incredibly popular in Japan and also outside of Japan. She has several DVDs in Japan, and numerous photobooks. A search on amazon.co.jp will show this. As far as fleshing out this article, a) I only stumbled across it today because it was listed for deletion b) since I do most editing at work, searching bikini model web sites isn't really an option as I would probably get fired. This needs to be expanded, not deleted. Nobunaga24 05:28, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Which is exactly why I used prod instead of speedy deletion, I repeat. All I'm asking for is that rather than closing this as "keep" and leaving the article a micro-stub that someone sometime in the next five days puts some evidence into the actual article.  If for no other reason than so that I may bookmark them for, ah, research.  brenneman  {T}  {L}  05:48, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Now that I know of the existence of this page, when I can get some edit time where I don't run the risk of a sexual harassment suit, believe me, I will dedicate myself to expanding it. I will make the sacrifice of browsing page after page of scantily clad, buxom Japanese models in order to ferret out more information to add to the general repository of knowledge contained in wikipedia. That is if in the process of research I remember to come back to wikipedia. Nobunaga24 06:02, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep --Ter e nce Ong 11:07, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Provisional Keep, if the kanji explanation noted above is correct (my study of Japanese never went that far). Lankiveil 11:11, 20 March 2006 (UTC).
 * Keep. Seems notable enough based on a quick google, asides from everyone else's comments (and the nominator's). Jud e (talk,contribs,email) 11:51, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete since I don't actually think she ahs ever done anything that notable. Any woman with large enough breasts can garner a million Googles easily without ever doing anything of any signifciance whatsoever.  Not that I care overmuch, but this really does seem to be breastcruft.  I suppose it might justifiably be defended per systemic bias, as balancing some of the millions of utterly non-notable American women with large breasts... Just zis Guy you know? 18:27, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll contest it. She's a girl with moderately large breasts (this is the second draft of my comment) and she appeared in one porn movie 20 years ago. Wow. Non-notable. It's a speedy delete, not a speedy keep. If there's someone who cares enough to add other movies she must surely have appeared in, then they should do so post-haste rather than merely asserting her fame here. -Splash talk 01:25, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * But the article is claiming she's notable for being a famous bikini model, not for being a woman with large breasts or an actor. The only evidence I have of her notability are the Google hits and the word of Nobunaga and JJay, but for me, that's enough to keep a recently created stub.  While editors' personal knowledge shouldn't be cited as a source in articles, it seems reasonable to me to consider it in behind-the-scenes judgements like AfDs.  (I haven't been here long, so if anyone can point me to any old discussion on that last point I'd appreciate it.)  --Allen 02:20, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No, the article says "mainly known for her large breasts.", not "is mainly known as a bikini model". The only passing claim to notability is having, as they say, big ***s. Evidence that can't go in an article is difficult to find much use for, since it is the article and the material in it that is at issue here. -Splash talk 02:33, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You're right, it does say that. But what about this official website that Nobunaga added?  The "discography" link goes here... she seems to be a recording artist with a major label album, which would make her notable in itself.  I'd add it to the article, but I'll leave that to the editors who can read Japanese.  --Allen 02:40, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that this means she is signed with HMV, if that's what you mean, since I'm not even sure that they are a label. Even if it does mean that, WP:MUSIC asks for two albums on a major label, and there is no proof of that. Allmusic.com has never heard of her, sugesting that probably that release was not, in fact, on a singificant label. -Splash talk 02:56, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, I was thinking Universal Music Group, not HMV. Again, I can't read Japanese, but it looks to me like a Universal release.  And you're right that it's just one, but it's packaged with a DVD and looks like the kind of big pop release that would easily have sold 5000 copies.  --Allen 03:07, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see. Hmmm, that is difficult. But absent any proof of notability (or even, for that matter any proof of the one claim in the article), it remains deleteable, and speedily. -Splash talk 03:27, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps. I bet Nobunaga will be able to shed a lot of light on this when he gets back.  --Allen 03:50, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, looking at the IMDB listing, I don't think that's her. She would be about 10 or 11 years old when that movie came out, and seeing as it looks like an erotic film, I doubt it's her. Most of her *ahem* movies are "smile and pose" straight to DVD type jobs, not listed on IMDB. The album is news to me, but I'll look at the site. I'm not really a Jpop fan so I don't stay on top of those things (actually I despise Jpop). Nobunaga24 06:53, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete (regretabbly). Having large breasts does not notability make. It's borderline CSD A7 as the entire article is "Yuko Aoki (青木裕子, born February 5, 1977) is a Japanese bikini model mainly known for her large breasts." which doesn't make much of case for importance/notability, does it? --kingboyk 08:28, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Is no sense about her large breasts.--Taichi 05:26, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

1876 Parramatta colonial by-election

A by-election was held for the New South Wales Legislative Assembly electorate of Parramatta on 20 April 1876 caused by the resignation of sitting member Hugh Taylor after he was referred to the Committee of Elections and Qualification as to whether he had a position of profit under the crown as a result of the supply of meat by him to Mr Dunn who in turn had a contract to supply meat to government asylums.

Committee of Elections and Qualifications
The question of Thomas Brown's eligibility had been referred to the committee on the same day. The Committee found that Thomas Brown was the owner of the Eskbank Colliery, the coal supplied by William Pitt was taken from the Eskbank Colliery and that Thomas Brown had a "direct interest in a contract entered into with the Government by the said William Pitt for the supply of engine coal for the Great Southern and Western Railways" and was therefore disqualified from being a member of the Legislative Assembly.

Taylor resigned after the report on Thomas Brown had been tabled, but before the Committee had reported on whether he too was disqualified.

Results
Hugh Taylor resigned because a contract he had may have been an office of profit under the crown.

The Book of Night with Moon

The Book of Night With Moon is a 1997 fantasy novel by Diane Duane. Although set in the Young Wizards universe, it was written as an adult novel. It centers on a team of cat-wizards.

This book takes place in between books 4 and 5 of the Young Wizards series. A significant portion of the book uses phrases or words in Ailurin, the language of cats, which contains 37 vowel sounds, far more than most or all human languages. (English, by way of comparison, has only about 20, depending on dialect.) These fragments of Ailurin are listed in a glossary at the back of the book.

The worldgating team at Grand Central Terminal is there to make sure that the four gates all behave correctly. However, the gates start malfunctioning and it is necessary for them to perform some larger interventions, even facing the Lone Power. They also have a new feline wizard on their hands with some hidden talents.

Plot synopsis
To her owners, apartment-dwellers on the upper East Side of New York's Manhattan Island, Rhiow looks like nothing more than their little black pet cat: a sweet-tempered, good-natured little creature who shakes them down for food at every opportunity, is always ready for a cuddle, and never ventures any further away than the apartment's terrace.

But a lot more could be said about Rhiow...for when her humans aren't looking, she has a life of her own that they don't dream of. Rhiow is a wizard, and heads an elite team of other feline wizards whose job is to keep the Grand Central worldgates running. With her teammates Urruah (a dumpster-living, foodie tomcat with a yen for opera) and Saash (the "Scotty" of their team, cerebral and witty, but always scratching at fleas that aren't there), they help keep the city's wizardly public transport system purring along.

...Until one morning matters get suddenly complicated with the arrival of Arhu, an abrasive feral tom-kitten in the middle of his Ordeal—the potentially deadly initiation through which every wizard must pass to come into his or her power. The chain of events triggered by Arhu's adoption into their team leads Rhiow and her companions out of their own New York and into another, more ancient, and far deadlier one—to a confrontation with the Lone Power that's intent on the destruction of cats and humans alike.

There, Rhiow and her team must deal with not only the sudden danger wound together with Arhu's fate, but a terrible secret concealed in the heart of the feline underworld, ready to burst out in annihilating force into the world of men, which as wizards they're sworn to protect. Now the cat-wizards' only hope of success lies in their uneasy bond with a race of creatures who've been their enemies for all time—and now hold the key not only to their own survival, but that of the human race...

Characters
Rhiow, the cat featured on the cover of this book, is the leader of the team of cat-wizards. In the beginning of the book, she is on her fourth life (out of nine). She lives with two humans, Sue and Mike. She also appears briefly in one of the regular series.

Saash, a tortoiseshell cat, is the technical expert on the gates' hyperstrings. She is in her ninth (and final) life in this book, and she has a problem with a scratchy coat.

Urruah has more energy at his disposal than the rest of the team, and is therefore generally the power source for any big workings on the worldgates. He lives in a dumpster and is interested in the Metropolitan Opera.

Arhu is a new member of the team, discovered after being chewed up by rats. He ends up being a very important part of their mission.

Tom Swale and Carl Romeo are human wizards at the Advisory level in the Manhattan area. They are some of the team's supervisors.

Mike and Sue are the humans that keep and feed Rhiow. They are called "Iaehh" and "Hhuha" by Rhiow, that being the closest that Ailurin, the feline language, can come to the correct pronunciation.

Sehhff'hhihhnei'ithhhssshweihh – to the cat-wizards, Ith for short – is a saurian wizard who also becomes instrumental in the team's mission.

Ehef is the feline Advisory in the area.

Yafh isn't a wizard, but still an oft recurring character. He is an apparently long time friend of Rhiow's.

Talk:Interstate 95 in Maryland

Area between MD 32 and I-195
Does anyone have any information about why so many bad things happen on this stretch of 95? for example the truck rolled over, state trooper was shot, and other stuff. Hollowman512 00:30, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Resubmitting for evaluation
How do we resubmit this article for evaluation? The article is similar in length and content to Interstate 70 in Maryland, yet it only has a Start rating. I checked the assessment project page but couldn't find anything that explained how to resubmit an article. -TheOneKEA

 * If you think it's better, just change it. Unlike good or featured articles, there's no bureaucracy here. --NE2 13:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Route description
Why does this article lack a route description? -TheOneKEA
 * In short, because no one's written one yet.-Jeff (talk) 13:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay it has one now. -TheOneKEA

Shunpiking the Susquehanna River Bridge
''Northbound travelers wishing to avoid paying the toll for the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge at the Perryville toll plaza should exit I-95 onto MD 155, follow MD 155 west through Webster as far as the southern terminus of MD 161, then turn onto MD 161 north and follow it to US 1, where northbound travelers can cross the Susquehanna River using the Conowingo Dam. To return to I-95, travelers can use either MD 222 or Truck MD 222.''

Seeing as how shunpiking is viewed as 'original research', I have transferred the paragraph on it to here to confirm this evaluation. I personally feel that it is a useful addition to the article, given its prevalence among Maryland residents. However, if it is indeed 'original research', then it should be removed. -TheOneKEA

 * If you can find a reliable source such as a newspaper article stating that it is a popular toll-avoidance route, you can clean it up and add it back, citing the article. --NE2 15:46, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Does this count? It doesn't cover the northbound Perryville toll route that I found but it does describe an alternate, as well as the Delaware toll avoidance route and the Pennsylvania Turnpike avoidance route. -TheOneKEA

 * The US 40 routing probably is, since it's written by a Baltimore Sun columnist on a newspaper-hosted blog. I'm not sure about the Delaware toll, since that's a letter from a reader; the I-70 route certainly isn't, since it's a comment added by a reader and not filtered through Mr, Rodricks at all. --NE2 16:14, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Actually, it's only possible to do this southbound, and I found this out on a summer drive up and down the east coast. But I didn't do it to avoid paying the toll. I did it because driving on the Millard E. Tydings Memorial Bridge scares the living daylights out of me. Six lanes that high with no visible structural support over what looks like a nothing more than a measley highway overpass? Even the Long Island Expressway near the Queens-Midtown Tunnel isn't that scary, and that's 106 feet above ground.  DanTD 17:41, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

The Exit List
I feel that the overabundance of notes in the Exit list column is warping the table by making the Notes column too wide, with the other columns being squished as a result. I feel that a separate section on the three ghost interchanges should be created, to allow the matter to be addressed in a more suitable manner. -TheOneKEA
 * OK, I went and created the section - I believe that the new section is a far better way to present the history of these ghost interchanges. -TheOneKEA
 * That looks better. I also like what the contributor did with making the exits purple.  I was wondering if the future ICC exit should be a different color too to show that it doesn't currently exist.-Jeff (talk) 01:21, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Size
I seriously feel that this article needs to be split - the addition of a proper section on the ghost interchanges brought the article size up to 35KB, which is rather big. There are already separate articles on the Capital Beltway, the Fort McHenry Tunnel, and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway; is there scope to create more articles? -TheOneKEA
 * Perhaps Canceled highways of Baltimore, Maryland could be created, there is certainly enough notable info on them to create an article.-Jeff (talk) 02:03, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed. There is probably enough info to create Interstate 95 (Baltimore, Maryland)! -TheOneKEA
 * Before we go creating intracity articles from intrastate articles, I'd go take this up at WT:IH to get more opinions, and maybe more options. You're talking about creating a whole new set of articles and standards that could balloon out of control (I-70 in Frederick, I-76 in Philadelphia, I-95 in Miami, I-55 in Saint Louis, etc).  I agree that something needs to be done, though.  -- M PD T / C 18:23, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Of course. An article explicitly on Interstate 95 in Baltimore would probably invoke the precedent set for D.C., as Baltimore is an independent city and thus similar (but not precisely so) to D.C. in terms of article scope IMHO. The same argument could be applied for other independent cities, like Richmond, Virginia or Carson City, Nevada - if sufficient information on routes through those cities existed, I don't doubt that fully fledged articles could be written. -User:TheOneKEA

OK, the article has been split. Comments welcome. -TheOneKEA

Infobox/Shield
I have refurbished the infobox and used the neutered shield. The shield is neutered since MD does not use it anywhere on any Interstate.  V 6 0  VTalk · VDemolitions · VRoads 23:46, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe not new shields, but there is at least one I-95 (MD) shield somewhere within the I-395 stack interchange in Baltimore. -TheOneKEA
 * If it's only five at least one but not not the majority of all the shields, the shield stays neutered.  V 6 0  VTalk · VDemolitions  ·  VRoads 00:13, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree; we shouldn't be putting the state name in unless it's standard in the state. --NE2 00:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:WMATA Metro Logo.svg
Image:WMATA Metro Logo.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use.

Merge discussion
See WT:USRD. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 11:31, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Merging Chesapeake House and Maryland House

The articles Chesapeake House and Maryland House should be merged into the Service areas section of this article as the individual service areas are not notable enough for their own individual articles and the information from them can be adequately covered in this article.  Dough 48  72  01:43, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Chesapeake House recently underwent an AFD discussion, where we determined that it is indeed sufficiently notable as a standalone article.  Additionally, both facilities are within the top five busiest rest areas in the country, which gives more than a little indication of standalone notability.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:22, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * There are several other toll roads that have service areas, such as the Pennsylvania Turnpike, New Jersey Turnpike, and New York State Thruway, that are nearly as busy as the ones on I-95 in MD. Save for two service stops on the New Jersey Turnpike, none of them have individual articles. Just because these two rest areas are among the busiest in the country does not mean they are worthy of individual articles. The fact they are busy can easily be mentioned in the service section of the I-95 in MD article. For a good example of a service area section in a toll road article, see New York State Thruway.  Dough 48  72  02:36, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The only two service areas on the NJTP have been merged into the NJTP article.  Imzadi  1979   →   04:25, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Support merger – the AfD only said that the content should not be deleted. It didn't prohibit the merger of that content someplace else. The information about these two service areas can be adequately covered in the I-95 (MD) article, and would enrich that article's coverage of the MD section of the freeway. Redirects will still direct interested readers to the appropriate section of the appropriate article. As a side note, the related Delaware House was merged into the I-95 (DE) article already. If the service areas weren't notable, they wouldn't even rate a whole section. They may or may not even get mentioned in the exit list.  Imzadi  1979   →   02:54, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Please do not misrepresent the content of Delaware House. The history shows that I am the only editor on that title.  The title never contained a standalone article, nor do any deleted revisions exist on the title.  The Delaware House title was created as a redirect, and has pointed at two different articles over the course of its roughly nine month existence.  No merge ever occurred on that title.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:11, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It's still a service area along the JFK Memorial Highway. The three are related, and whether it was created as an article that was merged, or created as a redirect, the effect is the same: it's a service area merged into the appropriate article.  Imzadi  1979   →   04:25, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Oppose. No organizational benefit from merging here.--Milowent (talk) 02:59, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Support merger — These service areas are notable; that has been established by the AfD discussion. The question is whether they are notable enough to be stand-alone articles.  I would say they are notable enough to be their own article, but I am not comfortable with the reason being their top five attendance status.  I would be more convinced if the articles were more developed and contained more notable information that separates them from your ordinary rest/service area.  Therefore, until the articles can be supplied with information that establishes their notability beyond a reasonable doubt, I lean toward merging them with the I-95 in Maryland article.  The articles can be split out again later when the pertinent information is applied to it. Viridiscalculus (talk) 04:22, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Oppose merge. Having stopped at them often, I consider Chesapeake House and Maryland House to be more than the average rest area, and merit their own articles.  Given that WP has articles on every station for many train and subway lines, I don't think major rest area houses having their own articles is excessive.  Wasted Time R (talk) 12:02, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * So would you say it is right to create an article for every rest area on every toll road?  Dough 48  72  15:30, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Oppose along the same lines as Wasted Time R. The Maryland House is a well-known rest area sufficiently notable for its own article, although I can't necessarily speak as to the Chesapeake House. – Juliancolton  | Talk 14:07, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Both rest stop articles are relatively short, with the Chesapeake House article tagged as a stub. The short information on the history and services can easily be mentioned in the I-95 in MD article. A directory of services at the rest area is not allowed per WP:NOTDIRECTORY, so the Maryland House article should not even include that section.  Dough 48  72  15:30, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * USRD and Wikipedia as a whole have countless stubs, but that doesn't mean they should be merged. If an article is lacking information, that's a reason to expand and improve it rather than eliminate it. I'm of the opinion that the Maryland House – and now the Chesapeake House, after reading it is among the busiest stops in the country – is notable enough for its own article. – Juliancolton  | Talk 15:51, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * In essence, you are saying these two rest areas are a special case in which they have enough notability for their own article? If that's the case, is there a decent way in order to write a well-written article on such a topic? In the UK, there is Strensham services, which is a GA on a motorway service station. Should that article serve as a model for how the Chesapeake House and Maryland House articles should look if they are kept on their own?  Dough 48  72  16:05, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, but they're not necessarily "special" cases; I simply think they meet standard notability guidelines. The articles are not currently in dire condition, so that shouldn't be an issue for now, but I don't see why we can't get GAs out of both of them. – Juliancolton  | Talk 18:28, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Question: First, let me state my background. I'm from the west, where almost all rest and view areas are parking lots with picnic tables, restrooms and a viewing platform, occasionally you might see vending machines. As such I could not imagine creating an article for a rest area for any of the areas I frequent. However, my question is: How unique are rest areas with staffed services on the east coast? If this is a rarity (i.e. these are 2 of say 5 in the entire United States), I would say, yeah let the articles stand as unique. If rest areas with actual staffed services are not that uncommon, I would say they should be merged. Dave (talk) 20:27, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Apparently, many of the UK's motorway service stations seem to have articles. In the US, most service areas do not appear to have articles, with Chesapeake House and Maryland House the main exceptions (see Category:Rest areas). As food for thought, Illinois Tollway oasis exists as a GA to cover the oasis rest areas on IL's tollways. The issue coming out here is how should we handle preseting service areas in the US. Should we go with the individual articles like Chesapeake House and Maryland House, a description in the service area section of a toll road article, or an overview in a separate article as with the IL case.  Dough 48  72  00:54, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * From what I understand, these two rest areas are no different than those along the NY Thruway. Considering there's 27 of them in New York alone, they're hardly unique. –  T M F 04:53, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Unless someone provides a rebuttal to TMF's answer to my question, I'm inclined to say the Maryland house should stay, but the Chesapeake house should go. I'm inclined to believe the 5 busiest rest areas along the I-95 corridor are no more notable than the 5 busiest truck stops along Interstate 80 (being as how in the western U.S. truck stops and small towns serve as the equivalent to staffed service areas in more concentrated parts of the world). With that said, the biggest truck stop along I-80 does have a unique article, Iowa 80, however it's the only individual truck stop to have an article that I can see. Someone above does have a valid point with the analogy to train depots. However, most train depots have architecture and history that adds to the notability equation. Furthermore, I'm not convinced all train depots should have articles, Elko (Amtrak station) and Green River (Amtrak station) are examples of ones with questionable notability, being little more than sidings with a bus shed and a sidewalk.
 * The impression I'm getting here is that Maryland House is worthy of an article because it is the "busiest" rest stop in the US. However, Chesapeake House, which is pretty much the same thing as Maryland House, should be merged simply because of the fact it is not the busiest rest stop in the US. I've been to Maryland House before and from my experience it does not look any more special than any other service plaza I've been to. I really don't see why the fact Maryland House is the busiest rest stop in the country can simply be mentioned in the I-95 in MD article.  Dough 48  72  14:51, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

the beginning of this article
There is a summary of I-95's journey through Maryland, but it's written north-to-south. I thought your normal convention was to write about northbound for a north-south route.

Also, I-95 from Baltimore city to the I-295 split in Delaware used to be called Maryland Northeastern Expressway (in Maryland) and Delaware Turnpike (in Delaware). They BOTH are part of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway (which, as you note, got that name after JFK's assassination only 8 days after the dedication). Some articles need to be revised because John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway is not limited to Maryland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:17, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Merge discussion 2013
The articles about the Chesapeake House and Maryland House service areas should be merged into the service areas section of this articles as they are lacking in information and individual service areas are generally not notable enough for their own articles. Service areas on other toll roads are covered in a section of the toll road article and I see no reason why these two service areas should have their own articles. The 2010 merge discussion resulted in no consensus, so I wanted to see if we could get more consensus here.  Dough 48  72  03:06, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Makes sense. Sounds good to me. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 03:04, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Not that I don't understand your reasons for wanting to merge them, but doing so only leaves Illinois Tollway oasis in the Rest areas category. Granted the article isn't for an individual service area, but both the Maryland and Chesapeake Houses seem distinguished enough for separate articles. If you do decide to merge them, I'd recommend expanding the "Service areas" chapter some more. -User:DanTD (talk) 14:41, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, now that the Chesapeake House has reopened, that really makes sense for the articles to be merged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:36, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Needless to say, I'm going to redirect them right now by putting some of the info from these articles to the Interstate 95 in Maryland section.

Support merger — These individual service areas are not notable enough to have their own articles and can be detailed in a section of the main article without violating summary style.  V C  18:14, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree with DanTD's comment above and oppose the merger. There is no consensus to merge.  Maryland House and Chesapeake House are two of the most visited rest areas in the United States, with over five million visitors every year.  That is more than the population of 28 of the individual states!  Though the articles could be further expanded, and should be, the argument for merger seems unaware of their historical and current significance.--Milowent • hasspoken  18:31, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Just because these are among the busiest rest areas in the country does not justify the existence of separate articles. These rest areas have little to say special about them other than the fact they are busy. The information about them can easily be covered in the Service areas section of this article.

Widening project completed in Baltimore City
Where does any one think a blurb on this project should go? Its complete as far as I can tell, but I can't find a good source on that. Here was the press release from when it started. http://www.mdot.maryland.gov/News/Releases2017/2017_March_31_I95_Improvement_Project_to_Add_Capacity Famartin (talk) 01:19, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

 * The press release about the project start says it's "a four-mile stretch of I-95 north of the Fort McHenry Tunnel" and mentions Boston Street as the beginning of the conversion. This area is in the "Within Baltimore" section, so this info could go there. Of course, the article also has an Improvements section; none of its subsections seem to include the portion under discussion, though, so perhaps a new subsection there would also work. A good source on the completion would be best, if writing that the work is completed. —ADavidB 01:57, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Self-transforming brain
The self-transforming brain refers to the ability of the self to consciously use mental activity to change/modify the brain’s neural network in order to experience life with more happiness and fulfillment. This capacity of using awareness to do so is based on the assumption that the brain and the mind are closely connected that one does not change without the other. The phrase "I think therefore I am" is not just a famous proclamation in the eyes of neuroscience. It has been evidenced that mental activity, such as fleeting thoughts and feelings can create new neural structure in the brain and thus shape a person’s reality. In this manner, it is possible to make use of the brain’s neuroplasticity to re-wire/change one’s brain and life for the better by consciously activating happy, tranquil and loving mental states.

Background: Brain-evolution link
The experience of happiness and well-being is a universal pursuit, but often a struggle to achieve. One explanation for this is that happiness is not the brain’s default and normal state of mind. Evolutionary psychologists claim suffering is. Suffering in the form of everyday stress, hurt, anger, loneliness, worry and disappointment experienced by the layperson is thought to be the side effect of strategies that helped human ancestors survive and pass on their genes throughout evolution. In this manner, the neural networks in the human brain have evolved to create pain and suffering when the evolutionary instincts cannot keep up with the outside world. This happens for example when; the brain attempts to separate the body and the self from a world where everything is connected. Consequently, the weaknesses of an individual's body become personal weaknesses, and the individual suffers as a result of negative self-image, illness and aging. Another survival strategy embedded in the neural networks of the brain is the tendency to approach pleasure and avoid pain, which is why humans suffer when they experience mental states with a negative feeling tone.

Bias
Due to the strong impact of evolution on the human brain, what the modern man is left with is a negativity bias, which colours the manner in which humans perceive and interpret events within the environment. This bias is the reason for why the mind in particular, scans for, remembers and reacts to unpleasant experiences and why emotions such as worry, anxiety and fear of anticipated negative outcomes often follows. However, the negativity bias does not correspond with reality, as humans are most often not in danger. Even so, the brain simulates worst-case scenarios and creates additional worry and fear over events that most likely never will occur. Consequently, this process strengthens these neural structures and humans suffer even more.

The nervous system
The neuroplasticity of the brain allows re-wiring of default neural pathways through conscious acts performed by the individual. As the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is responsible for stress-related hormones that activate mental states such as anxiety, irritation, stress and melancholy that make individuals unhappy, action must be taken by the individual to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The PNS can on the contrary, end suffering created by the SNS as it produces feelings of relaxation, contentment and reflective insight that are necessary for the conscious re-wiring of the default neural networks that constantly scans for threats.

Meditation
One powerful way of activating the PNS is by using the mind-body connection through meditation. Meditation is often equated with mindfulness. Both concepts refer to the act of consciously using one’s attention to be aware of what occurs moment-to-moment in one’s outer and inner environment with a non-judgemental attitude. Attention resembles a spotlight; whatever it casts light on will flow into the mind and shape the brain. By developing control of attention through meditation the individual will consequently have the agency to choose what mental activity that should shape the brain, and thus, the experienced reality. In this manner, it is possible to transform the brain’s default negative neural structure that leads to suffering.

Techniques to control attention
The practice of meditation can include a wide range of techniques that aim to activate the PNS through sustained conscious attention and concentration. However, the ability to restrain attention is a challenging and unnatural pursuit for the brain, as it constantly attempts to update the individual's awareness with new information. There are methods that can be used to develop greater control of attention:

• Setting an objective to be mindful – at the start of an activity that requires concentration, establishing a deliberate objective to remain focused, such as "I am going to let my mind be steady."

• Remaining awake and alert to the environment - the brain cannot pay attention when sleep-deprived. For example, sitting up in a straight posture helps as this sends information to the reticular formation, which is involved in consciousness, telling it to stay vigilant to environmental stimuli. Another technique is taking deep breaths. This increases oxygen in the brain, which keeps it awake.

• Silencing the mind. When the mind is silenced, there are fewer things to distract attention. For example, by creating an awareness of the whole body. Involved in this process is the right hemisphere, which represents whole-body processing. By initiating activities as such that the right hemisphere specializes in, the verbal babble of the left hemisphere is silenced.

Physical and Psychological Health Benefits
As the PNS is activated through meditation, it not only quiets the SNS, which is responsible for a majority of the psychological suffering that humans experience on a daily basis. The activation and alteration of brain structure has also been related to a number of physical and psychological health benefits:

• A resilient affective style and increased mood. The absence of stress hormones in SNS activation allows for prefrontal activation and regulation of the amygdala, both of which are necessary for the experience of these states.

• Strengthening of the immune system as a result of an increase in antibodies. This is the result of activation of the left-sided anterior through meditation practice.

• Increase in empathy and compassion. The cultivation of positive affect through mental training stimulates the activation of the anterior cingulate cortices that have been previously linked to empathic responses to another person’s pain.

Tamyra Mensah-Stock

Tamyra Mariama Mensah-Stock (born October 11, 1992, Mensah) is an American professional wrestler and former amateur wrestler. She is signed to WWE, where she wrestles on the NXT brand under the name Tyra Mae Steele.

Mensah-Stock previously competed in women's freestyle wrestling, winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics on August 3, 2021, and became the first black woman to win gold in women's freestyle wrestling.

Early life and education
Tamyra was born in Chicago, Illinois, and grew up in the suburbs of Houston, Texas. Her father was a Ghanaian who lived in Ghana until the age of 30, and her mother is from Illinois.

At Morton Ranch High School in Katy, Texas, her twin sister, Tarkyia, joined the wrestling team their freshman year while Tamyra pursued track and field. She joined the wrestling team her sophomore year, at age 15, after her sister and the wrestling coach, Mark Balser, convinced her to take part in a wrestling practice session. However, she almost quit after her father's fatal car accident, on his way home from one of her high school wrestling matches. She blamed wrestling for her father's untimely death. She saw him as her biggest supporter.

In 2010 and 2011, she became the Texas High School Girls Champion having finished second in 2009. In 2010, she became the U.S. Junior National runner-up.

After high school, she attended Wayland Baptist University (WBU) where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise and Sports Science. As a student wrestler, she became the Women's Collegiate Wrestling Association (WCWA) Nationals Champion in 2014 and 2017. She also took third place in the 2013 at the U.S. Universities Championship and first place in 2015.

Amateur career
Although she won the 68 kg class at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials, none of the athletes from the United States secured a spot to compete in relevant 68 kg weight category at the 2016 Rio Olympics, so she spent her time in Brazil as a practice partner for teammates who were eligible in other weight categories.

She won the gold medal in the women's 68 kg event during the 2019 World Wrestling Championships and also qualified to represent United States at the 2020 Summer Olympics. She was one of the three gold medalists for the United States in women's freestyle category at the 2019 World Championships, which also marked the first instance where U.S. delegation claimed three gold medals in women's wrestling event at a single World Championships.

Tamyra also claimed a bronze medal in the women's 68 kg event at the 2018 World Wrestling Championships.

In January 2021, she won the gold medal in the women's 68 kg event at the Grand Prix de France Henri Deglane 2021 held in Nice, France. She also won the gold medal in the 68 kg event at the Matteo Pellicone Ranking Series 2021 held in Rome, Italy.

On August 3, 2021, she won the gold medal in the women's freestyle 68 kg, after defeating Nigeria's Blessing Oborududu 4–1, at the 2020 Summer Olympics. She became the first female African-American and the first Black wrestler to win Olympic gold, and only the second female American to win gold, after Helen Maroulis in 2016. Two months after the Olympics, she won one of the bronze medals in the women's 68 kg event at the 2021 World Wrestling Championships in Oslo, Norway.

She won the gold medal in her event at the 2022 Tunis Ranking Series event held in Tunis, Tunisia.

WWE
On May 3, 2023, it was announced Mensah-Stock had signed with WWE to become a professional wrestler. She is the third Olympic wrestling gold medalist (after Kurt Angle and Gable Steveson) and the first female Olympic wrestling gold medalist to sign with the company. On the taping of the July 5, 2024 edition of WWE NXT Level Up, she made her in-ring debut under the name Tyra Mae Steele, in a losing effort against Wren Sinclair.

Personal life
In 2016, Mensah-Stock married Jacob Stock, who wrestled alongside his future wife at Morton Ranch High School and at Wayland Baptist University. Mensah-Stock is a pescatarian.

Vachira Phuket Hospital

Vachira Phuket Hospital (โรงพยาบาลวชิระภูเก็ต) is the main hospital of Phuket Province, Thailand and is classified under the Ministry of Public Health as a regional hospital. It has a CPIRD Medical Education Center which trains doctors for the School of Medicine of Walailak University.

History
The first hospital in Phuket was constructed in 1906 by Phraya Ratsadanupradit, funded by local merchants and citizens and was called Sukhaphiban Hospital. It was located on Komarapat Road and was under the management of Monthon Phuket. Following a state visit by King Vajiravudh in 1917, the king ordered the construction of a newer and more spacious hospital, and this was done so on Yaowarat Road, where the hospital is located today. The hospital was named Vachira Hospital after the King, and was officially opened on 1 January 1920, and its management was assisted by the Faculty of Medicine Vajira Hospital. The hospital was later named Vachira Phuket Hospital to prevent confusion with Vajira Hospital, located in Bangkok. The hospital underwent mass renovation in 1997.
