RAF Podington

Royal Air Force Podington, more commonly known as RAF Podington, is a former Royal Air Force (RAF) station in northern Bedfordshire, England, 6 mi south-east of Wellingborough, Northamptonshire.

History
Podington airfield was originally built as an aerodrome for the Air Ministry between 1940 and 1941, to accommodate two bomber aircraft squadrons of the Royal Air Force.

USAAF use
On 18 April 1942, it was made available to the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) Eighth Air Force (8th AF). Podington was assigned USAAF Station Number 109.

28th Troop Carrier Squadron
The first USAAF unit to use Podington was the 28th Troop Carrier Squadron (28th TCS) in June 1942, arriving from Westover Army Air Field, Massachusetts. The 20th was part of the 60th Troop Carrier Group, based at RAF Chelveston.

The 28th TCS flew Douglas C-47 Skytrains from the base until rejoining the 60th at RAF Aldermaston in August.

15th Bombardment Squadron (Light)
The 15th Bombardment Squadron (15th BS), arrived on 15 September 1942 from RAF Molesworth, flying the British Boston III light bomber. The 15th was originally part of the 27th Bombardment Group (Light), based in the Philippine Islands, however the group's aircraft (A-24's), did not arrive by 7 December 1941. Due to the deteriorating situation in the Philippines after the Japanese attack, they were diverted to Australia where they reformed into a combat unit and fought in the Dutch East Indies and New Guinea campaigns.

From Molesworth, the squadron joined with six RAF crews from RAF Swanton Morley in Norfolk for a low-level attack on Luftwaffe airfields in the Netherlands on 4 July. At Podington, the 15th BS later acquired their own USAAF Douglas A-20 Havocs, and flew a number of missions with RAF Bomber Command. In October, the 15th BS was transferred to Twelfth Air Force for support of Allied landings in North Africa, being assigned to Ste-Barbe-du-Tlelat Airfield, Algeria on 26 December 1942, its crews were absorbed by the 47th Bombardment Group (Light), and the 15th was inactivated.

8th Bomber Command Combat Crew Replacement Unit
The VII BC CCRU moved almost immediately to Podington in August 1942. The unit remained until May 1943, processing personnel into the UK, then assigning them as replacements to various 8th AF groups in East Anglia.

301st Bombardment Group (Heavy)
From 15 August through to 2 September 1942, Podington was briefly used by the 301st Bombardment Group, based at RAF Chelveston as a satellite airfield for its Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bombers.

It was quickly found that Podington was inadequate to support the B-17s, and required improvement to class A airfield standards. As a result, the runways at Podington were lengthened to accommodate the heavy four-engined bombers of the Eighth Air Force (8th AF). Topographical limitations, however, resulted in the NE-SW runway being only 1100 yard, giving Podington an exceptionally short secondary runway. Additional dispersed hardstands and taxiways were also constructed.

100th Bombardment Group (Heavy)
In early June 1943, the 100th Bombardment Group, Heavy arrived at Podington from Kearney AAF Nebraska. However the group only stayed for less than a week (2–8 June) before moving on to RAF Thorpe Abbotts in south Norfolk, East Anglia.

92nd Bombardment Group (Heavy)
Podington remained vacant until 23 September, when the 92nd Bombardment Group (Heavy) moved into Podington from RAF Alconbury in Cambridgeshire, to allow the 482nd Bomb Group to be formed there. The 92nd was the oldest group in the Eighth Air Force, having been the first USAAF bomber group to make the transatlantic flight to the UK in July 1942.

The 92nd Bomb Group was known as 'Fame's Favored Few', and it was assigned to the 40th Combat Wing, at RAF Thurleigh. The group tail code was a 'Triangle B'. Its operational squadrons were:
 * 325th Bombardment Squadron (NV)
 * 326th Bombardment Squadron (JW)
 * 327th Bombardment Squadron (UX)
 * 407th Bombardment Squadron (PY)

From Podington, the group flew almost 300 operational missions over Nazi-Occupied Europe. Missions were flown to Wilhelmshaven, a tyre plant at Hanover, airfields near Paris, an aircraft factory at Nantes, and a magnesium mine and reducing plant in Norway.

Although handicapped by weather conditions, enemy fire, and insufficient fighter protection, the 92nd bombed aircraft factories in central Germany on 11 January 1944, and received a Distinguished Unit Citation for the mission.

The group took part in the intensive campaign of heavy bombers against the German aircraft industry during Big Week, 20–25 February 1944. After that, it attacked V-weapon sites in France; airfields in France, Germany, and the Low Countries, and industrial targets in France, Germany, and Belgium, making concentrated strikes on oil and transportation facilities after October 1944.

In addition to strategic missions, the 92nd performed some interdictory and support operations, assisting the Normandy invasion in June 1944 by hitting gun emplacements, junctions, and marshalling yards in the beachhead area, supporting ground forces at Saint-Lô during the breakthrough in July 1944, bombing gun positions and bridges to aid the airborne assault on the Netherlands in September 1944, participating in the Battle of the Bulge, from December 1944 to January 1945, by attacking bridges and marshalling yards in and near the battle area and bombing airfields near the landing zone to cover the airborne assault across the Rhine in March 1945.

After V-E Day, the 92nd Bomb Group Moved to Istres Air Base, France, in June 1945, where the unit transported troops from Marseilles to Casablanca for return to the United States of America. The group was inactivated in France on 28 February 1946, where the personnel demobilised and its B-17 aircraft were sent to storage.

Medal of Honor
92d Bombardment Group Flight Officer John C. Morgan, co-pilot, received the Medal of Honor for action aboard a B-17 during a mission over Europe on 26 July 1943. His aircraft was attacked by enemy fighters, the pilot suffered a brain injury which left him in a crazed condition. For two hours, Morgan flew in formation with one hand at the controls and the other holding off the struggling pilot who was attempting to fly the plane. Finally another crew member was able to relieve the situation and the B-17 made a safe landing at Podington.

479th Antisubmarine Group
The ground echelon of the Army Air Forces Antisubmarine Command 479th Antisubmarine Group moved to Podington in November 1943, after its air echelon was inactivated at RAF Dunkeswell in Devon. From Podington, the groups' ground echelons of its headquarters and attached operational squadrons were reassigned to various Eighth Air Force units as replacements, and the group being disbanded on 11 November.

Air Ministry use
The United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) returned Podington to the Royal Air Force in July 1945, and the airfield was retained by the Air Ministry for storage. As late as 1960, Ministry of Defence (MoD) personnel were assigned to Podington looking after several million sandbags.

In 1961, a public inquiry was made by a Member of Parliament (MP) with regards to the need by the MoD to maintain millions of Second World War sandbags, and the outcome of the investigation was the sale of Podington to private interests later that year.

Light aircraft and glider flying continued from Podington airfield until the late 1960s.

Main units
The main military and subsequent civilian units and organisations based at RAF Podington throughout its military and subsequent civilian history were:
 * 4th Antisubmarine Squadron – November 1943
 * 5th Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron
 * 6th Antisubmarine Squadron — November 1943
 * 8th Bomber Command Combat Crew Replacement Unit
 * 13th Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron
 * 15th Bomber Squadron (Light)
 * 19th Antisubmarine Squadron
 * 22nd Antisubmarine Squadron
 * 28th Troop Carrier Squadron
 * 92nd Bombardment Group
 * 100th Bombardment Group
 * 325th Bombardment Squadron
 * 326th Bombardment Squadron
 * 327th Bombardment Squadron
 * 352nd Bombardment Squadron
 * 407th Bombardment Squadron
 * 479th Antisubmarine Group
 * Northamptonshire Gliding Club
 * Royal Air Forces Association Gliding Club
 * Tiger Moth Flying Group

Current use
With the end of military control, some airfield demolition and concrete removal was performed in the early 1960s, however before all the airfield runways were ground into aggregate, a group of drag racing enthusiasts approached the owners to use its former main runway as a drag racing strip. In 1964, an agreement was reached for what became Santa Pod Raceway, which opened during Easter weekend, 1966. Now informally known as 'The Pod', it is the premier drag racing facility in the United Kingdom, and a top circuit for European dragster racing.

Its main runway was used in the title sequences for The Prisoner, a British television drama series about science-fiction and espionage.

In 1972, the concrete was resurfaced with asphalt and Santa Pod became a major European centre for drag racing.

Some of the buildings of the former Technical Site remain, though most have succumbed to vandalism or demolition. The two main T-2 hangars are gone; one was dismantled and the other lost in a fire. The former air traffic control tower is one of the few to have been converted into an unusual private house. Those buildings that remain are generally in use by local businesses, though some are derelict. The old Headquarters and Operations Block in particular have seen recent use as a stables, they are not in the best of condition. The perimeter track remains in many places, though reduced in width, and the runways have long since gone (with the exception of the portion of the former main runway now in use as the drag racing track).

On 26 May 2013, a ceremony and dedication service took place to officially unveil an inscribed granite memorial stone within Santa Pod Raceway, on the site of the former Podington Airfield. Organised by the Airfields of Britain Conservation Trust (ABCT), the service included the chief executive of Santa Pod Raceway, chief of ABCT, an air officer of the Royal Air Force, and standard bearers of the Royal British Legion, and culminated with a flypast consisting of a Lancaster bomber aircraft flanked by Hurricane and Spitfire fighters from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF).

Podington may yet serve the nation once again; there is a proposal by Nuon Renewables to build nine wind turbines (downgraded from the original proposal of fifteen) on the old airfield site, though this is running into significant local opposition; as is usually the case with proposed wind farms. The proposed wind farm would generate electricity for 10,000 local homes.

List of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver episodes

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver is an American late-night talk show created and hosted by John Oliver for HBO. The show takes a satirical look at the week in news, politics and current events.

The tenth season of the show premiered on February 19, 2023.

In May 2023, production was temporarily halted due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. The strike ended on September 27, 2023, and production of the show resumed. As a result, only 21 episodes were produced in Season 10, rather than the 30 shows produced in the previous seven seasons, with production extending into the month of December, a month in which the show had previously gone dark.

Season 7 (2020)
Note: Due to social distancing measures put in place as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, episode 184 was filmed at an unspecified location. Episodes 185–231 were filmed at John Oliver's home.

Cookbook:Fenugreek

| Herbs and Spices

Fenugreek, or Trigonella foenum-graecum, is a plant used as herb and spice.

Characteristics
The seeds of the plant are light brown and resemble small bits of gravel. Their characteristic flavor and aroma comes from sotolon, which is reminiscent of caramelized sugar and imitation maple flavor. They also have secondary notes that some describe as musty or mushroom-like. The leaves are much milder in flavor than the seeds.

Selection and storage
Fresh fenugreek leaves are perishable and should be stored in the fridge for a few days like other leafy greens. Dried fenugreek leaves keep well at room temperature. Fenugreek seeds keep for a very long time (months to years) at room temperature if kept in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Ground fenugreek seed has a shorter shelf life than whole—storage in the fridge can help.

Use
Fenugreek is common in South Asian and Persian cuisines. The leaves can be sautéed, stewed, incorporated into breads, and more. The seeds—especially roasted—are used as a spice, where they are incorporated into spice blends, chutneys, and curries.

Since they are so hard, the seeds must be ground in a specialized mortar or spice grinder.

Sydney Storm

The Sydney Storm, originally Sydney Blues were a team in the now defunct Australian Baseball League. The franchise featured in every post season throughout its existence and won the Claxton Shield once.

History
The Storm were formed for the 1992-93 ABL Championship as the Sydney Blues after purchasing the licence of the Parramatta Patriots. After legal action taken by Cricket NSW, the team was re-branded as Sydney Storm for the 1997-98 season, as the NSW Cricket team was also known as the Blues.

The franchise won one ABL championship under their former name, defeating the Melbourne Reds in the 1995 championship, also finishing runner-up twice - once (as the Blues) against the Brisbane Bandits in 1994, and in the final ABL season in 1999, defeated by the Gold Coast Cougars.

Peace studies/Learning project guidelines

This is a brief discussion of the organization of the Division of Peace Studies.

Departments
Learning projects are grouped into departments. Learning projects are organised within departments according to subject and difficulty level.

If there is not a current department suitable for the learning project you wish to create, please create a new department.

Learning projects
Learning Projects are Wikiversity's version of university courses. The are more akin to a course unit or a single university lecture than to a complete university course.

In depth discussions on the philosophy behind wikiversity Learning Projects are available in the Learning Projects Portal, the Learning Projects Wikiversity page, and on the Wikiversity Naming Conventions page.

More than one Wikiversity department can offer the same learning project; those departments should cooperate to develop the learning projects that they have in common.

Learning Projects should be created using the 'Topic:' namespace.

Creating or contributing to a Learning Project
Creating and contributing to Learning Projects is a key part of the Wikiversity learning process. Please contribute anything that you are able to.

Structure and Organisation of Learning Projects
This structure is outlined in the Learning Project Template.

Aims and Objectives
As soon as a project is created, the aims and objectives and expected learning outcomes of the project should be clearly stated. This is to ensure that learning materials contributed to the learning project are relevant. It also allows students partaking in the learning project to be aware of the expected learning outcomes.

Introduction to the Topic
As a priority, a brief introduction to the topic of the Learning Project should be given. The length of this introduction will vary accoring to the topic, but should always be less than 2,000 words.

Learning Materials
Learning Materials for a learning project are to be organised under relevant subheadings. Learning Materials include 'Main Namespace' links, links to internet sources, suggested books to read, and assignments.

Reading Lists
Readings in reading lists should be organised according to topic. A brief summary of the reading should be given on the learning project page.

Ideally, readings should be available on the internet, and the links made available.

Readings that are unavailable on the internet should be referenced in the following way:

Author, A., Title of Book (Location: Publisher, Year of Publication).

Initially, learning projects may just contain links to relevant readings on the internet and listings of relevant books and journals. As more people learn from and contribute to the learning project, reading material will be created within the learning project using 'Main Namespace' links.

Assignments
Learning projects should involve assignments. Initially, the assignments should be based around contributing more to the learning project. Once the learning project has sufficently expanded and matured, other assignments may be set.

Assignments may or may not involve writing, depending on the Learning Project and the expected learning outcomes of the project.

User:Dss16/sandbox/Malapportionment in the United States Senate

Malapportionment in the United States Senate refers to the structural element of the United States Senate in which its members are each elected by populations of different sizes. This malapportionment results from Article One of the United States Constitution which grants each state two senators, and from the Seventeenth Amendment which makes senators subject to popular election.

Beneficiaries over time
By definition, any state having a population that is less than the national average will always benefit from Senate malapportionment, with the greatest benefits flowing to the smallest states. Such benefits are greatest in areas where an individual senator can have significant influence, such as federal funding for state and local projects, or blocking a nominee to seek a concession on a parochial matter. However, in policymaking areas of national interests, a state benefits most if its region or coalition of like-minded states is collectively advantaged by malapportionment, rather than the individual state itself. The regions and coalitions that have benefitted from Senate malapportionment have shifted over time.

Geographically-bounded coastal states: 1787
Equal state representation in the Senate resulted from the Connecticut compromise during the 1787 constitutional convention. During the convention, the strongest proponents of equal senate representation were small, coastal states who geographic boundaries had been firmly established – Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. In contrast, some Southern states like South Carolina, although small in population at the time, supported population-based representation since they anticipated significant future growth through westward expansion. Several of those states had open-ended western claims that were not resolved until well after the constitutional convention.

Slavery: 1812–1850
Between 1812 and 1850, debates over slavery became a defining element of national politics, and states were admitted roughly in pairs – free state and slave state – to preserve a balance in the Senate even as free states grew more rapidly. By 1850, the census showed that the 15 free states (excluding California) had a population of 13.3 million while the 15 slave states stated had a population of just 6.4 million, of which roughly half were slaves. The Compromise of 1850 admitted California as a free state in exchange for a stronger fugitive slave law and other concessions, but the admission of additional free states over the next decade broke the balance in the Senate and was ultimately a contributing factor to the  Civil War.

Republicans, the West, and business: 1876–1890
During the Reconstruction era, the Republican party – the party of Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant – dominated the federal government. However, following the Panic of 1873, the Democrats rode an anti-corruption wave against the Grant administration to win control of the House of Representatives in the 1874 mid-term election; they would control the House for 16 of the next 20 years. Before leaving office, the outgoing Republican Congress voted to admit Colorado and New Mexico, which would both be Republican states, although ultimately only Colorado's admission was confirmed. This proved critical in the disputed 1876 United States presidential election when Colorado's three electoral votes were essential to the election of Rutherford B. Hayes.

By the mid 1880s, Republican post-war dominance was continuing to fade, with Grover Cleveland winning in 1884 to become the first Democrat elected president since 1856. However, the Republicans – who by then were becoming known as the party of business interests – were able to narrowly win back complete control in 1888, including an electoral college win for Benjamin Harrison, a narrow House majority, and  control of the Senate by a margin of 38-37-1. Lame-duck Democrats, including outgoing President Cleveland, feared the worst and thus agreed to the Enabling Act of 1889 which admitted Montana (which Democrats wanted) while also granting Republicans admission of Washington and splitting the Territory of Dakota into North Dakota and South Dakota. The states would ultimately send eight Republican senators to Congress, significantly increasing the party's margin. The following year, as Republican popularity continued to fall nationally, Congress voted to admit Idaho and Wyoming to further entrench Republican control of Congress. Following the 1890 census, Wyoming's apportionment population was over 95 times less than the largest state (New York); in the case of Nevada, which Republicans had admitted in 1864 during the Civil War, the difference was a factor of 131.

Some of the immediate gains would prove to be short-lived as control of these states would swing back and forth beginning with the election of 1892 and the collapse of the Fourth Party System. However, the admission of these territories as seven different states – one in 1876, four in 1889 and two in 1890 – continues to benefit the Republican Party in the Senate to this day. The two larger states, Colorado and Washington, have populations that are roughly comparable to the national average, and have voted largely Democratic in recent federal elections. The other five – Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming – have remained among the nation's lowest-population states, with a combined population in 2010 that is less than either Colorado or Washington alone. They are now considered solidly Republican in presidential elections, and as of 2020 they send 9 Republicans and 1 Democrat to the Senate.

Talk:Modern History

The major problem that I can see in the development of this Wikibook is that, while there are large, ready entries at Wikipedia, we're looking for a textbook-style thing not an encyclopedia entry. While the information will largely be similar in context, we should try not to just direct copy-paste or direct link to Wikipedia articles. Wikipedia is our encyclopedia, lets make Wikibooks our textbook. --DorianGray 13:14, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I have a cunning plan...
Okay, bear with me here. I believe this is an ideal topic for the creation of a Wikireader document (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiReader). I may well start one up, and see how it fares. Let's face it, an enormous amount of effort has gone into Wikipedia, and we should use its resources as much as possible. Interested? --Mark Lewis 19:43, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

November 15, 2005
I have been planning to expand Modern History. Unlike World History, this book would not be constrained by AP requirements; it would be able to go into more detail about the last few centuries. Very recent events (like US in Iraq, 2003) would remain excluded from this book.

I would start by writing stub chapters. Each stub chapter would provide a very short narrative and link to some Wikipedia articles. This would accomplish having a chronological narrative. Then I would continue by adding other features, like listing important persons and providing review questions.

My contributions will be slow. (I am busy with Guide to UNIX.) This is a wiki, though, so other users are welcome to start work now! --Kernigh 22:01, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Brown sugar is not Vegan--it's white sugar with molasses. Can you use raw or turbinado instead and get good results?
 * White sugar is vegan insofar as there are no animal products in it. You may consider the possibility of using bone charcoal to be unacceptable, though. (I tend not to care; the animals aren't killed for their bones -- better to use the waste products for something productive) In any case, replacing with turbinado, fructose, evaporated cane (florida crystals), etc is usually fine; add a bit of molassas =) Kellen

Hmm..good idea. I will add it to the bread recipe. Thanks for your suggestion.

Cookbook:Butter Tart

| North American Cuisines | Canadian Cuisine | Cuisine of Ontario | Desserts

Butter tarts (tartes au sucre) are an extremely common dessert in Canada. Many versions are made; some are gooey while some are not, and different nuts, fruits, and other fillings can be used. Similar tarts can be found in the culinary traditions of Scotland and France.

Dough

 * 1 cup shortening
 * 1 large teaspoon butter or margarine
 * ¾ cup boiling water
 * 3 ½ cups pastry flour or 3 cups all-purpose flour
 * 2 teaspoons baking powder
 * ¼ teaspoon salt

Filling

 * 2 eggs
 * 1 ½ cups brown sugar
 * ½ cup corn syrup
 * 3 tablespoons butter, melted
 * 1 cup currants or raisins
 * ½ cup chopped walnuts
 * 2 teaspoons vinegar
 * 1 pinch of salt
 * ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Dough

 * 1) Beat the shortening, butter, and hot water together until creamy.
 * 2) While still warm, sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix gently until a dough forms. Try not to knead it while forming it into a large ball.
 * 3) Separate the dough into two equal portions and chill 20 to 40 minutes.
 * 4) Divide the dough into two dozen equal balls. Roll each ball into a flat disc.

Tarts

 * 1) Preheat oven to 350°F (175˚C).
 * 2) Beat the eggs well. Add sugar, syrup, and melted butter and beat again.
 * 3) Add the currants, walnuts, vinegar, salt, and vanilla extract and mix vigorously.
 * 4) Put a small amount of cornmeal into small tartlet pans, or count out 24 cupcake papers.
 * 5) Fit the flat circles of pie crust into the pans, or fit them into cupcake papers and insert them into the pans.
 * 6) Fill the shells ⅔ full with the prepared filling.
 * 7) Bake until the pastry is light brown (about 20 minutes).
 * 8) Remove from the oven and let cool.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * For runnier tarts, cook for 15 to 17 minutes. You can also adjust the filling ingredients to 1 cup of corn syrup and 1 cup of brown sugar.
 * Try replacing the currants with coconut, or omit entirely.
 * Try replacing the walnuts with pecans, or omit entirely.
 * Try drizzling 4 oz (120 g) melted chocolate over the cooked tarts.
 * This recipe (both the tarts and the pie crust) is a century-old recipe from rural North Western Ontario.
 * If the top of the tart hasn't frothed while baking and formed a cream coloured crunchy top it means there was too much time between when you beat the mixture and when it started baking. If you have to do multiple batched in the oven with the same mixture be sure to keep it cool and keep stirring it to make sure the second batch has the traditional crispy top.

VanY protein domain

In molecular biology, VanY are protein domains found in enzymes named metallopeptidases. They are vital to bacterial cell wall synthesis and antibiotic resistance.

Function
VanY is involved in bacterial cell wall biosynthesis and metabolism. VanY D-Ala-D-Ala peptidases provide resistance to the antibiotic vancomycin on some strains of enterococci, and are therefore drug targets.

VanY is a Zinc-dependent D,Dcarboxypeptidase enzyme that cleaved the C-terminal residue of peptidoglycan precursors ending in R-D-Ala-D-Ala or R-D-Ala-D-Lac.

Substrate
The substrate specificities of VanX and VanY ensure that essentially only precursors with low affinity for the glycopeptide antibiotics are available for peptidoglycan synthesis in resistant strains.

Antibiotic Resistance
Acquired VanA- and VanB-type glycopeptide resistance in enterococci is due to synthesis of modified peptidoglycan precursors terminating in D-lactate. As opposed to VanA-type strains which are resistant to both vancomycin and teicoplanin, VanB-type strains remain teicoplanin susceptible. The vanY gene was necessary for synthesis of the vancomycin-inducible D,D-carboxypeptidase EC activity previously proposed to be responsible for glycopeptide resistance. However, this activity was not required for peptidoglycan synthesis in the presence of glycopeptides.

Bacteriophage lysins (Ply) or endolysins are phage-encoded cell wall lytic enzymes which are synthesised late during virus multiplication and mediate the release of progeny virions. Bacteriophages of the pathogen Listeria monocytogenes encode endolysin enzymes which specifically hydrolyse the cross-linking peptide bridges in Listeria peptidoglycan. Ply118 is a 30.8kDa L-alanoyl-D-glutamate peptidase and Ply511 (36.5 kDa) acts as N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase (INTERPRO).

From the taxonomical point of view Musa ssp. is divided into 4 sections. They are namely Eumusa, Callimusa, Rhodochlamys and Australimusa. Section Eumusa contains about 14 edible species including Musa acuminata and M. balbisiana – to taxa, which are used to produce new hybrids and varieties in the banana fruit processing. They are seedless. The second section “Callimusa” is used for ornamental purposes and its fruits are with seeds. The third section “Rhodochlamys” also contain ornamental bananas with seeds, but they are much smaller (up to 3 m of high). Last section “Australimusa” originates in Queensland, Australia and Filipines and it is used for fiber production. In overview Musa ssp. contains about 25 species. When talking about species

Yuri Gagarin

Russian cosmonaut; first man in space.

Vladimir Komarov

Russian Cosmonaut; First man to die in space. After a short period in space upon re-entry the parachutes on his spacecraft failed to open to slow the vehicle descent. Russian spacecraft of the era landed on earth rather than in the ocean as did the United States' spacecraft 'splashdown'. The parachutes of Cosmonaut Komarov's craft were burnt off during re-entry and this was noticed by observers in the upper part of the atmosphere. Communication with the spacecraft was established soon after re-entry and Cosomonaut Komarov was informed of the development and appraised that nothing could be done. There was time to inform his wife and have her present in the control room for the final moments. This man has been called a hero.

Alan Shepard

American astronaut; first American in space. Would later walk on the moon on Apollo 14 after battling an inner ear disease.

Neil Armstrong

American astronaut; first man to walk on the moon.

Jim Lovell

American astronaut; commander of the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission.

KOSJ

KOSJ (1490 AM) is a commercial radio station that is licensed to Santa Barbara, California and serves the Santa Barbara area. The station is owned by Rincon Broadcasting and broadcasts a rhythmic oldies music format branded "Old School 94.1 and 1490 AM". KOSJ is rebroadcast on FM translator K231CR in Santa Barbara on 94.1 MHz.

Early years
The station launched on the 720 kHz frequency as KFCR in April 1926; it moved to 1420 kHz the following year.

KFCR was purchased in 1929 by George Barnes, owner of KGB in San Diego. Barnes changed the call letters to KDB in tribute to his wife, D orothy B arnes, and moved the station to 1500 kHz. In October of that year, KDB's license was canceled for failure to comply with regulations from the Federal Radio Commission (forerunner to the Federal Communications Commission or FCC). At issue were broadcasts featuring The Crusaders, an organization that promoted the repeal of Prohibition. The station's management fought vigorously to get the license back, and KDB returned to the air by the end of the year.

Over the next couple of decades, KDB was bought and sold several times. In 1931, it became part of the Don Lee Network by virtue of being sold to Lee under the corporate name Santa Barbara Broadcasters. KDB relocated to the 1490 kHz frequency in 1941.

In 1969, Len Menard, doing business as KDB Broadcasting Company, attempted to sell KDB and its FM counterpart to music publisher Hugh Heller in two separate transactions. The AM outlet was slated to sell for $500,000 on April 30, while KDB-FM was to yield $100,000 in a deal reached August 5. However, the FCC did not approve the transfer of either license to Heller. On November 27, 1970, Menard sold KDB-AM-FM to Pacific Broadcasting Company, owned by Richard E. Marsh, for $400,000; this deal was approved by the FCC.

On September 1, 1990, KDB changed its call letters to KSPE. Two months later, in a reorganization effort, Pacific Broadcasting sold KSPE to Spectacular Broadcasting for $302,000. Around the same time, the station began airing a regional Mexican music format. The station's call sign changed once again on January 20, 1997 to KBKO to reflect its new branding, "Radio Bronco"; the format remained the same.

In October 1998, Spectacular sold KBKO and its sister station, then known as KSPE-FM, to Jacor Communications for $4.6 million; Jacor merged with Clear Channel Communications the following year.

Rincon era (2007–present)
On January 11, 2007, Clear Channel Communications sold all of its radio stations in Santa Barbara, including KBKO, to Rincon Broadcasting for $17.3 million. Rincon switched KBKO's format from regional Mexican to progressive talk. On October 28, 2008, KBKO changed its call sign to KIST.

On July 19, 2010, KIST adopted the call letters KSPE, a change that preceded a flip on September 15 to a Spanish-language adult hits format with the branding "La Preciosa". In July 2017, KSPE adjusted its format to Spanish adult contemporary and adopted the branding "La Musical".

On September 14, 2017, La Musical moved to KFYZ (94.5 FM); KSPE stunted with a looped announcement in Spanish notifying listeners to tune in at the new frequency. The next day, the stunt ended and KSPE introduced a rhythmic oldies format with new callsign KOSJ.

In December 2021, KOSJ's 198-foot red-and-white transmitting tower, which it shares with KCLU and KZSB, and had long been slightly bent, was shortened to 128 feet and topped with four 12-foot "whiskers" in a horizontal X shape, to give the tower extra electrical length. The tower, which is owned by Rincon Broadcasting, was also painted dark green to better blend with its surroundings. Changes in the radiation properties of the shortened tower required a reduction in night power from 1000 to 940 watts.

Six Sigma

Six Sigma
Six Sigma was created by Bill Smith at Motorola in 1986 it was developed as a way for measuring defects and improving quality. The aim of Six Sigma is to deliver high performance. The methods aim to reduce defects in production to acceptable levels (3.4 per million).

Defined as a measure of quality that strives for near perfection, six sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving towards six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process -- from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service. To achieve six sigma, a process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities.

In last decade, we have witness the close convergence of Lean (originated at Toyota, japan) with Six Sigma. It is very well-known that a far-reaching performance is achieved by the use of Six Sigma and Lean to reduce waste. This in turn reduces cost, an important factor in determining the survival of an enterprise. Manufacturing with Lean in mind, has certain features such as reduced lead times of processes, faster delivery, improved quality of end products, reduction in inventory such as the work-in-process (WIP), low customer service activities, core materials, and products at all customer interfaces. This gives room for incorporating changes.

Most of the top companies listed by Fortune 500 magazine integrate Lean and Six Sigma ideologies in all of their operations. Some of them are 3M, Amazon.com, Bank of America, Boeing Frontiers, Caterpillar Inc., Dell, Eastman Kodak Company, General Electric, Honeywell, and so on. In fact, IBM, Motorola, and GE, etc. offer solutions to businesses based on their type of industries. All these Fortune 500 companies have been extremely quick in bringing Lean Six Sigma best practices to their India operations too. They have been followed by the implementation of the quality process by several big names in the IT sphere like Wipro, TCS and Infosys.

The DMAIC method:

* Define o Define the problem that Six Sigma will solve. * Measure o Map & measure the process in question against current performance. * Analyze o Understand the process. * Improve o Optimize the process and Implement a solution. * Control o Ensure the improvement sticks measure the process and put in place a systems to correct defects

The LSS methodology uses a comprehensive methodology incorporating the key elements of both, Six Sigma and Lean, as each stage can gain from the respective techniques. Today, the Six Sigma road map of define, measure, analyze, improve, and control (DMAIC) includes Lean concepts of empowerment and education of everyone in the organization to identify and eliminate non-value adding activities. The integration of the two methodologies attempts to provide empowerment even at the higher level process analysis stages, so that employees have true ownership of the process.

Holocrine

Holocrine (from Ancient Greek ὅλος; hólos, “whole, entire” + κρῑ́νω; krī́nō, “to separate”) is a term used to classify the mode of secretion in exocrine glands in the study of histology. Holocrine secretions are produced in the cytoplasm of the cell and released by the rupture of the plasma membrane, which destroys the cell and results in the secretion of the product into the lumen.

Holocrine gland secretion is the most damaging (to the cell itself and not to the host which begot the cell) type of secretion, with merocrine secretion being the least damaging and apocrine secretion falling in between.

Examples of holocrine glands include the sebaceous glands of the skin and the meibomian glands of the eyelid. The sebaceous gland is an example of a holocrine gland because its product of secretion (sebum) is released with remnants of dead cells.

Giorgos Hatzinasios

Giorgos Hatzinasios (also spelled Hadjinasios; Γιώργος Χατζηνάσιος, ; born 19 January 1942) is a Greek songwriter and composer.

Early life
Hatzinasios was born in Thessaloniki. His father was Agapios Hatzinasios, a native of Nigrita, Serres and a music professor of Thessaloniki's State Conservatory and a renowned saxophonist. His mother was Anna Zografou, a native of Galatista in Chalkidiki.

His paternal grandfather, also Georgios Hatzinasios and a graduate from the Phanar Greek Orthodox College, was a merchant and visited the Holy Land at a young age with his father, Athanassios. This is the source of the surname ('Χατζής' - Hajj and Αθανάσιος - Athanasios combined).

His maternal grandfather, Themistoklis Zografos, was a hagiographer from Mount Athos.

Giorgos Hatzinasios began piano lessons at the age of six at the Macedonian Conservatoire and later moved on to the State Conservatory of Thessaloniki and then the Athens Conservatoire. He later studied in Paris where he studied composition, orchestration and conducting.

Career
By the age of fourteen, he had already achieved notability as a pianist, with a particular interest in jazz and Greek music. Since 1972, he has achieved much recognition in Greece and abroad and his more than forty albums, some amongst which have received gold and platinum status. He has worked with many famous singers including Nana Mouskouri, Marinella and Manolis Mitsias.

He has also written scores for 38 films and 25 theatrical plays.

Hatzinasios wrote the music for and conducted Greece's entry, "Mathima solfege", in the Eurovision Song Contest 1977. The song was performed by Pascalis, Marianna, Robert & Bessy and finished fifth on the night.

He won an award in the 1980 Rose d'Or with the song 'Όταν γύρω Νυχτώνει' ('When Night Falls Around').

As a pianist
As a piano soloist, Hatzinasios has given recitals both in Greece and abroad in such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, the Konzerthaus in Vienna, the White House at Gilwell Park in London and others.

Classical pieces
Hatzinasios gave the world premiere of his Byzantine-themed oratorio Χρονικόν της Αλώσεως ('Chronicle of the Fall'). For this premiere, he conducted the Orchestra of the Sofia Opera, the Macedonia Chorus with Grigoris Valtinos in a leading role. It was performed in the National Theatre of Northern Greece. The oratorio was performed again at Mystras in 2007 with the Greek Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus participating.

In 2005, the first performance of his cantata Ωδή στον Μέγα Αλέξανδρο ('Ode to Alexander the Great') took place at the Athens Concert Hall. The lead performers were Grigoris Valtinos once again and Petros Gaitanos. Another performance took place at the Giza pyramid complex.

Personal life
Hatzinasios is married to Maria, whom he first met when he was 21 and she was 15. They have three children. Their daughter Anna is a promoter of Greek artists abroad. Their second daughter Margarita lives in Geneva with her family. Their son Christos initially worked as a singer. He was a candidate for Greece's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "Illusion". He now works in shipping and lives in Monaco.

For the Love of God (2011 film)

For the Love of God (Pour l'amour de Dieu) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Micheline Lanctôt and released in 2011. Based in part on a personal experience from Lanctôt's own childhood, the film centres on the sexual awakening of Léonie (Ariane Legault), a young girl attending convent school in 1959 who falls in love with Father Malachy (Victor Andrés Trelles Turgeon), the new school priest, and becomes jealous when she realizes that her teacher, Sister Cécile (Madeleine Péloquin), is also in love with him. The film also explores the effect of the experience on the three into the present day, with Lanctôt herself playing the role of the adult Léonie, Geneviève Bujold as the senior Sister Cécile and Nelson Villagra as the senior Fr. Malachy.

Rossif Sutherland also has a small role in the film as Jesus.

The film premiered on August 24, 2011, at the Angoulême Francophone Film Festival, where it won awards for Best Actress (Péloquin) and Best Film. It opened commercially in Quebec on September 2.

The film received six Jutra Award nominations at the 14th Jutra Awards, for Best Director (Lanctôt), Best Actress (Péloquin), Best Art Direction (Normand Sarazin), Best Cinematography (Michel La Veaux), Best Costume Design (François Barbeau) and Best Original Music (Catherine Major). Barbeau won the award for costume design.

At the Shanghai International Film Festival in 2012, the film won the Golden Goblet Jury Grand Prix.

Talk:Conart/Music

if someone knows anything about saame jojk, yoddling, or opera singing technique, some rather short chapters on those would be nice to have, since the two former have interesting characteristics, and the latter is so intimately bound to the evolution of the opera as an art form and the need for achieving volume without amplification and its subsequent effect on vibrato etc.

I will not be able to update this for the next couple of weeks, due to lack of Internet access at my upcoming apartment. However, I will continue the writing of it, plan it, make drafts, etc. and update it as soon as I get my computer plugged. Yep.

Talk:Security police

Rewrite
Wow, was this a complete page rewrite. AND it lost out on the original definition.--<IP_ADDRESS> 17:33, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I decided to 'be bold' and do a complete rewrite to separate legal authority from anatomy. The distinction between security police and other police agencies is 1) their focus on protecting a specific chunk of property and 2) the differences in their legal authority, which have prompted some of the chunky rewrites by serving security police which are incomprehensible to everyone else <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:57, 18 July 2009 (UTC) 17 July 2009

Term/title
Needs some headings or something to make it more reader friendly and wiki. QUESTION: Does this include "company police"? For example Henry Ford's strikebreaking thugs? Is this term in common usage in the US? I watch a lot of Yankee TV and movies, and its not a familiar term. Seems to be a catch all for non-regular cops.Bobanny 08:14, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree - see my further comments below. Peet Ern (talk) 05:14, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

 * PS - Some in line references to where the term is used might help. Peet Ern (talk) 05:19, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Assessment
Although the length of this entry suggests it is an article rather than a stub, I have given it that tag because this needs a complete overhaul. At present, it is little more than scattered bits of information that are not clearly connected to the topic. Some specific problems: There are other problem areas, but the above suggestions could serve as a starting point for making this article comprehensible. The absence of sources to me suggests that finding sources to base this article on should be the first step in making it an acceptable entry.Bobanny 17:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * More than half of the article is about Los Angeles organizations, the contents of which has little to do with the topic "Security Police." E.g., California State law regarding peace officers working off duty as security guards.
 * Sentences such as By 1993 when RTD became MTA. are not complete sentences. Numerous other technical writing errors make this a confusing read.
 * Two full paragraphs are devoted to the MTA police, which "is a defunct agency" according to the article. If it's defunct, why is it even here (and what does RTD stand for)? Perhaps if there were a general history section, its mention might be warranted, but not in the current structure.
 * The article goes into obscure details, such as the structure and training of specific agencies' officers, yet does not clearly define what "Security Police" refers to. They are, for example, "usually" employed by government. So what makes them different from any other policing body? Why is the MTA police included and not the LAPD? Conversely, what makes security police different from run of the mill security guards?

 * I'm going to go through this and take a look at it. Since most of us in the LE WikiProject are UK Constable or Special, and I seem to be the only person who's career security, I'll see if I can figure out what's going on and broaden it a bit.

I can either start a rewrite or write the answers to the questions posed above here... Suggestions? Pyrogen 15:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * IMO, a rewrite would make more sense to me because it appears that the problems have to do with the topic not being conceived with much thought in the first place, and now it lacks clarity and structure. Defining security police is the first place to start, but that would be hard to do with what's currently in the article.Bobanny 17:08, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I did another pass on this and it hurts my head. I'll take at it soon enough, though. Ow, whoever wrote this just mangled things together, it looks like. Pyrogen 21:46, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I hear ya. It looks like it was excess that was carved off from other articles - someone's delinquent daughter article >;) Bobanny 03:56, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

 * It still looks like a mangle. In my opinion it is bad enough to be labelled negatively encylcopedic.  The term security police on reading this seems to more idiomatic and coloquial than anything formal. There is as far as I am aware no general type of LEA of security police.  There are public safety and by-law enforcement agencies such as transit police, and protective security agencies providing close personal protection, etc.
 * An appropriate dewrite might be to turn the article into a history of the term security police, if it really is a notable one, and refer to main articles about LEAs which might have been referred to as security police from time to time.
 * Peet Ern (talk) 04:58, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Wackenhut
Wackenhut is also an example of security police. Aldrich Hanssen (talk) 01:36, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't need a re-write; needs a DELETE!
This is an incredibly confusing article that wends its way through personal opinion to bias, taking a short detour through nonsense.

I worked in one of the law enforcement agencies named for over 25 years (U.S.). Not once did we ever refer to ourselves as "Security Police." Not once did anyone else in law enforcement refer to us as "Security Police." Not once were we referred to by media, politicians or the public as "Security Police." There was no law that declared us to be or set us apart as "Security Police."

My first reaction was that this was a nonsensical attempt at creating a classification that wasn't necessary. The more I read into it, I realized that this article seems to be a misguided attempt to take a UK local term and somehow give it world-wide meaning by bootstrapping other agency roles to fit a narrow definition. And, the suggestion that Wackenhut should be included in this definition not only further complicates things (how can civilian non-police be considered as police of any sort?) simply boggles the mind.

Can we just close this down as being too ambitious a definition stretch and simply not needed? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:40, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Disagree – The term "security policy" brings to my mind "secret police", like the kind a repressive government uses to suppress its citizens. Or perhaps the religious police of Saudi Arabia and other countries. The word "police" means "sworn officers of the law". Those that monitor shops and sports venues are "security guards". Security police seems to be an attempt to blend the two, but I'm not really buying it. However, the article should not be deleted. The right editor, with knowledge of the subject, can still make something of this.  Senator2029 ➔ “Talk”  00:55, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Which is exactly what I've done to the UK section...
"Security Police" is a term that has no legal basis in United Kingdom law or nomenclature. Special police force does, but we already have an article on that. The only possible exception to this is the Northern Ireland Security Guard Service who are civilian security officers that are armed and attested as special constables within Northern Ireland. Even in this case the term 'police' is stretched to its thinest point of definition as the personnel of the Northern Ireland Security Guard Service are not employed to 'police' things, they are employed to provide security and by way of an addendum have the privileges of a special constable almost entirely for the purpose of avoiding issues of legality surrounding the carrie of firearms. Bellerophon talk to me  23:07, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Essay-like
This article is full of irrelevant POV forks about what may or may not be considered "security police" it should confine itself to describing only organisations that describe themselves as security police, as an exact phrase, or to a history of the term. At the moment this is basically a rambling treatise, overly padded with irrelevant trivia about police organisations that in some cases are missing even the most tenuous link to the subject at hand. In any case its claims should be backed up by reliable sources rather than the author's own personal narrative. Bellerophon talk to me  23:26, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * This article is total WP:OR and should be deleted. Period. oknazevad (talk) 21:56, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I have to agree. I've edited this article a few times and have noticed what a free-for-all it is.  Some articles just lend themselves to being big blogs of unsourced half-truths.  Not sure how to fix it.  Magnolia677 (talk) 03:57, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Attempting Re-Write/Splitting the Article
This article has bothered me for years. I’ve re-written the intro, although it’s still essentially pure WP:OR. In the meantime, I at least tried to write it so it’s a bit more concise and encyclopedic-sounding. Any assistance with writing or — more importantly — gathering sources, would be immensely appreciated.

I do  not  believe that this article should be deleted. However, apart from the WP:OR issues — which I believe can be overcome — the other big issue — and the reason this article was discussed to be deleted years back — is the fact that “security police” can be divided into two groups; Sworn LEOs whom essentially function as security guards and state intelligence-security apparatuses.

In the past, the general sentiment was to either delete this article completely or to make it solely about the aforementioned intelligence-security apparatuses.

My contention is that we should keep this article about ‘traditional’ security police, and create a new article of “State security police” or something along those lines. We could outline specific agencies that often use/are referred to by this term.

Nikki Dryden

Nicole Dryden (born April 5, 1975) is a former competitive swimmer who represented Canada at two consecutive Summer Olympics.

Early years
Dryden was born in Calgary, Alberta in 1975.

Swimming career
At the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, Dryden reached the finals with the Canadian women's relay teams in the 4x100-metre freestyle relay (eighth) and in the 4x100-metre medley relay (sixth). In the individual women's 100-metre backstroke, Dryden advanced to the consolation final, finishing fourteenth overall; she also participated in qualifying heats of the women's 200-metre freestyle and the women's 200-metre backstroke. Four years later at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, Dryden placed fourteenth in the women's 800-metre freestyle.

Dryden accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where she was a member of the Florida Gators swimming and diving team from 1993 to 1996. As a Gator swimmer she was a five-time Southeastern Conference (SEC) champion (twice in the 500-yard freestyle, twice in the 800-yard freestyle relay, and once in the 1,650-yard freestyle), and received nine All-American honors. She was also a five-time Ivy League champion as a swimmer for the Brown Bears swimming team of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, and graduated from Brown with a bachelor's degree in international relations in 1998.

Life after competition swimming
Dryden earned her juris doctor degree from Brooklyn Law School in Brooklyn, New York in 2005, and currently works as a human rights and immigration lawyer in the New York City office of Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy. Dryden previously served as a visa officer for the Australian High Commission in Sri Lanka and Kenya, and worked for the International Organization for Migration with Somali immigration officials.

Dryden also volunteers as an athlete ambassador for several organizations that work to support the rights of children around the world, including Right To Play and SwimLanka. She is also a celebrity swimmer for Swim Across America, a charitable organization that works with former Olympic swimmers to raise funds for cancer research.

Thomas Vallance

Thomas Henshall Wilson Vallance (28 March 1924 - July 1980) was an English professional footballer who played as an outside-left.

Career
Vallance was born in Stoke-on-Trent, and was the son of Jimmy Vallance, the trainer at Stoke City. Vallance began his career at Stoke City during the Second World War. He moved to Torquay United in 1945, playing in the FA Cup First Round, second leg tie which Torquay drew away to Newport County to lose 2–1 on aggregate in November 1945. He left Torquay before playing a league game and subsequently joined Arsenal in 1947. Mainly a reserve, he finally made his league debut on 4 September 1948 in a 1–1 draw against Sheffield United after Arsenal's regular left-winger, Denis Compton had been injured. He shared the left wing position with Ian McPherson that season, playing 14 times and scoring twice, but played just once the following season as McPherson and Compton monopolised the left wing position. After several more seasons in Arsenal's reserves, he left the club on a free transfer in 1953.

Vallance was the brother-in-law of England international Stanley Matthews — Vallance's sister, Betty, had married Matthews in 1934.

 * I rather doubt it is. A Google Image search for the film gave not only this image, but several others in exactly the same style that were the covers of Everest editions of different 1930s films. Unless that style was extremely common for 1930s film posters, even for unrelated films created years apart, I'd say it's much more likely that Everest designed new images to give their series of remastered films a recognizable look.

Talk:Introduction to Math for computer programming

The original content for this page originated at Topic:Math for computer programming. --JWSchmidt 17:05, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

More content - but what to cover?
Hello,

Well done for starting the page, and getting some content on it. However, it obviously needs to cover more than just number theory in order to be useful. I think the best way to help new programmers with maths is to give examples and suggestions of problems which are common to experienced programmers.

Linear Algebra, for example, has plenty of applications in programming. It is relevant to search engine theory, 3D programming, sequences (no more recursive fibonacci functions :-) ), and probably a whole lot more.

I have occasionally used techniques that fit into the "linear algebra" category while programming, but I've never had to use any calculus, so I would recommend new programmers to pick up a book on Linear Algebra (this one is good: Linear Algebra and Its Applications, by Gilbert Strang) rather than a calculus book. That's obviously just my experience, but if lots of people add comments, then perhaps we could construct a table of "What you want to do" => "Which topic of maths you should look into".

Cheers, Colin

She defines sensory marketing as "marketing that engages the consumers' senses and affects their perception, judgment and behavior (and suggests that) from a managerial perspective, sensory marketing can be used to create subconscious triggers that characterize consumer perceptions of abstract notions of the product (e.g., its sophistication or quality)".

In more than fifty published articles, Krishna has explored ways in which a product's look, feel, taste, sound, and smell contribute to how it is perceived, and how people respond to it. Illustrating her research, she also edited and contributed to the book, Sensory Marketing: Research on the Sensuality of Products, in 2009. She also runs an international sensory marketing research laboratory.

In 2013, she published a book, Customer Sense: How the 5 Senses Influence Buying Behavior, which Kirkus Reviews calls "A sophisticated, easy-handed elucidation of the practice of marketing to our senses".

Some important concepts introduced by Krishna's work are perceived consumption, guiltless gluttony, and Smellizing. Raghubir and Krishna (1999) show that container shapes can impact perceived consumption, which is how much consumers think they have eaten or drunk as opposed to how much they have actually eaten or drunk.

Aydinoglu and Krishna (2011) show that food size labels (e.g., a large size portion of french fries being labeled medium) can result in believing that one has not eaten too much and thus not feeling guilty about it (guiltless gluttony).

Smellizing is a term coined by Krishna (Krishna, Morrin and Sayin 2014 ) to reflect "imagining smells". Krishna, Morrin and Sayin (2014) show that smellizing foods can result in similar physiological responses (salivation) as real smells, when a picture of the food is also available.

Besides sensory marketing, she works on designing winning cause marketing and corporate social responsibility programs, and on constructing engaging pricing and promotion policies.

The implications of Krishna's research and expertise have been recognized not only within academia, but within business in general, being frequently quoted in outlets such as Time magazine, The New York Times, and The Daily Telegraph.

 * "Forward and rear fuel tanks held 430 litres (95 imp gal; 110 US gal) and 167 litres (37 imp gal; 44 US gal) respectively" - I think there ought to be a comma before respectively
 * Any page numbers for Gordon et al. for the specifications?
 * What does "Status     unknown" in the infobox indicate?
 * You mean Status Unflown?
 * I really only see one thing where coverage could be expanded. Why was the whole project conceived?  I'm assuming there's some Cold War arms race stuff for the reason why, but there's no explanation of this in the article.  If there's specific background information known about why the Soviets were tinkering around with high-speed aircraft, that would be useful.
 * This is the period before air-to-air missiles when speed was king for fighters, so everybody wanted aircraft fast as possible. But that background really isn't covered in the sources

That's it, I think. Tidy little article. Hog Farm Bacon 01:37, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I think that I need to dust off one of my ancient AFV or artillery articles since you've now done two out of the three!--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 10:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Garrison Point

Garrison Point is a promontory and historically significant urban park located near the junction of Georges River and Prospect Creek. The parkland may be accessed off Henry Lawson Drive, in the south-western Sydney suburb of, in the City of Canterbury-Bankstown local government area of New South Wales, Australia.

In 1795 Matthew Flinders, George Bass, and the boy servant William Martin, explored the Georges River to land at what is now Garrison Point and discover the what is now part of City of Canterbury-Bankstown. The area is so named because in Bankstown's early history, a garrison of soldiers was stationed here to ensure the safety of Major George Johnston as he conducted a census in the area.

The park is now the local focus of annual Australia Day celebrations in the Bankstown area.
