History of Fan Theories
by Stephen Hamilton 3 years ago in comics / tv / movie / pop culture
Fan theories and their culture continue to grow with each cinematic and televisionary adaption of books and comic series.
There's something remarkable about fan theories. I doubt that when an author puts his pen to paper, he is conscious of what a potential fanbase may add to the story. Indeed, many argue that fan theories are pointless, simply because they do not derive from the original writer. However, fan theories became widely accepted after the release of an infamous essay known as "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex." This essay details the sexual life of popular DC Comics character Superman.
Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex

First published in 1969 by Larry Niven, "Man Of Steel, Woman of Kleenex" concerns itself primarily with Superman's capability to have children and his sexual relationships with humans. While this may seem an insignificant area of study, the beauty of such fan theories is that the ideas matter to the essayists. Therefore, they go to great intellectual lengths to prove their hypotheses. Niven uses theories on biology, physics, and the natures of the Kryptonians in the comics to construct his arguments. The issues discussed include Superman's loss of physical control during intercourse, the presumed "super powers" of Superman's sperm cells, genetic incompatibility between humans and Kryptonians, and the dangers to the woman during gestation.
Perhaps most interesting is the fact that this came at a time when comics were seen as a family-friendly medium in the so called "silver age" of comic books. Rather than exploring dark, controversial, or gritty themes, they were focused on instilling "good American values." Niven, ironically, humanized Superman by discussing what the very medium in which he exists could not discuss—sex.
The Birth of Fan Theories
And so begins one of the entertainment industry's longest standing trends—fan theories. In essence, it's not much more than a fan coming up with a wacky hypothesis and trying to find evidence to support his or her theory. But it's so much more when you delve into the culture. PBS Idea Channel posits that fan theories are "critical thinking popcorn." Channel host Mike Rugnetta explains that it's interesting to come up with tangential plot lines or character motivations that significantly shift the perspective and meaning of the show. Fan theories rest primarily in the realm of viewer interpretation.
Take the Tommy Westphall Universe theory for example. This is perhaps one of the most popular fan theories ever created. Dwayne McDuffie, a writer for Slush Factory, theorized in his essay, "Six Degrees of Saint Elsewhere," that the entire show of Saint Elsewhere may have taken place in the mind of an autistic boy. McDuffie continues this train of thought into uncharted waters. If Tommy Westphall dreamt the entire six-season show of Saint Elsewhere, then all the characters wouldn't exist outside of his mind.
This theory became complicated when some of the characters entered crossovers and spinoffs of Saint Elsewhere. Avid theorists have mapped out almost every connection linking Sabrina the Teenage Witch to Breaking Bad. All of these shows, due to a single shot at the end of Saint Elsewhere, can be theorized to exist solely in the mind of Tommy Westphall.
Now, I can feel your skepticism from here. You don't necessarily have to believe the theory at all. It does, however, highlight the symbiotic, creative nature of TV and the audience that consumes it.
Fans Assert Their Control Through Theories

By creating a fan theory, you are temporarily taking narrative control away from the original writer and exhibiting some of your own. Theorists will then share the idea for more theorists to break down, scrutinize, or add upon. Fan theories demonstrate the ambiguous nature between creator and consumer.
If nothing else, they're a whole load of fun. I don't believe that theorists indulge in their favorite activity with malicious intent. Rather than challenging original work to destroy creator-consumer relationships, they hypothesize to intellectualize pop culture.
If you use YouTube frequently, you may even be aware of Game Theory, a channel with over six million subscribers. This channel is dedicated to creating theories about video games and supporting them in ten to 15-minute long essays using biology, physics, math, and rules from the game universe that is being deconstructed.
Although most fan theories have at least a bit of an intellectual basis, some verge on the absurd. A quick trip over to the subreddit r/fantheories can reaffirm this idea. However, the more absurd the theory, the more interesting it is when the theorist actually finds evidence that supports his or her claim. But the very fact that we can care so much about Superman's sex life shows that the writers have done a superb job with characterization.
If anything, the rampant amount of theorizing is a direct demonstration of how attached we are to the characters that populate our comic books, TV shows, films, and video games.

CHAPTER L.
THE ATLANTA (GEORGIA) CAMPAIGN.
May 1- September 8, 1864.
PART I.*
GENERAL REPORTS.
Report of Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant, U. S. Army, commanding, Armies of the United States, of operations March, 1864-May, 1865.
HEADQUARTERS ARMIES OF THE UNITED STATES, Washington, D. C., July 22, 1865.
SIR: I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations of the armies of the United States from the date of my appointment to command the same:
From an early period in the rebellion I had been impressed with the idea that active and continuous operations of all the troops that could be brought into the field, regardless of season and weather, were necessary to a speedy termination of the war. The resources of the enemy and his numerical strength were far inferior to ours, but as an offset to this we had a vast territory, with a population hostile to the Government, to garrison, and long lines of river and railroad communications to protect, to enable to supply the operating armies.
The armies in the East and West acted independently and without concert, like a balky team, no two ever pulling together, enabling the enemy to use to great advantage his interior lines of communication for transporting troops from east to west, re-enforcing the army most vigorously pressed, and to furlough large numbers, during seasons of inactivity on our part, to go to their homes and do the work of producing for the support of their armies. It was a question whether our numerical strength and resources were not more than balanced by these disadvantages and the enemy's superior position.
*Embraces reports of the lieutenant-general commanding the armies of the United States, the general and general staff of the Military Division of the Mississippi, the Army of the Cumberland, and the Fourth and Fourteenth Army Corps; the Twentieth Corps and cavalry (Army of the Cumberland) and Twenty-third Corps and Cavalry (Army of the Ohio), will appear in Part II; the Army of the Tennessee (consisting of the Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Seventeenth Corps), and the Confederate Army, are embraced in Part III.

Founded in 1995, Beartooth Publishing's mission has always been to make some of the world's best maps. Achieving that goal gets closer every year, but there's always more work to be done.
Small, craft mapping companies like Beartooth Publishing are the ones who push the evolution of printed map cartography. Every week we re-tweak a color, change a line width by 0.002 inch, change a font by 0.5 point, or whatever else it takes to make a map more attractive. These small changes are not noticeable by themselves, but added up over a few years they create improved and superior cartography.
Art is important, but making good maps also requires knowing the map's area. It is possible to make a recreational map of an area you've never been to, but in the end, that approach is evident in the accuracy and detail. When making a new map, we typically begin by driving around the area in a car for several days. You can learn a lot just from the car; we've even found developed campsites which are not on any other map. Then there's trail surveying work to do. Hiking and mountain biking are part of the job. After the field work is as complete as possible, we visit with local U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service land managers, as well as local outdoor stores, and incorporate their comments and edits into the map.
When describing the job to people, the most common question we get is "Haven't all the maps been made?" Pretty much, yeah. But all the cars were made by 1970. You can always make something better than it was before. We believe a map should be accurate, but also beautiful enough to compel the reader to fantasize about their upcoming adventures.
All of Beartooth Publishing's maps are printed on waterproof, tear resistant plastic. They are made in Bozeman, Montana and printed in Denver, Colorado.

Q: Dynamically created TextBoxes in a Table lost Text value I have a Table dynamically generated and inside of 2 columns there are TextBoxes. During the postback the Textboxes are always empty even if I fill them.
The table is builted in this way:
  protected void ddlScalaTaglie_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DataTable dtRighe = oTab.getScaleTaglieRighe(ddlScalaTaglie.SelectedValue);

        //dt is datatable object which holds DB results.
        Table tbl = new Table();
        tbl.CssClass = "table table-striped  table-bordered table-responsive";

        TableRow tr;
        TableCell tcEU, tcUS, tcUK, tcQty, tcEAN;
        Label lbEU, lbUS, lbUK, lbQty, lbEAN;
        TextBox tbEU, tbUS, tbUK, tbQty, tbEAN, tbToFocus = null;

        foreach (DataRow dr in dtRighe.Rows)
        {
            tr = new TableRow();

            //ean
            tcEAN = new TableCell();
            tbEAN = new TextBox();
            tbEAN.ID = "txtEAN" + dr[0].ToString();
            tbEAN.Width = new Unit(100, UnitType.Percentage);
            tbEAN.Columns = 15;
            tcEAN.Controls.Add(tbEAN);
            tr.Controls.Add(tcEAN);

            //Qty
            tcQty = new TableCell();
            tbQty = new TextBox();
            tbQty.ID = "txtQty" + dr[0].ToString();
            tbQty.TextMode = TextBoxMode.Number;
            tcQty.Controls.Add(tbQty);
            tr.Controls.Add(tcQty);

            tbl.Controls.Add(tr);
        }

        Session["tbl"] = tbl;

        divTaglieRighe.Controls.Add(tbl);
    }

When I click the button SAVE, I have to loop throug my table and save all the TextBox.Text...
this is what I wrote:
 ArrayList arrScarpaFigli = new ArrayList();
 Table tbl = (Table)Session["tbl"];
 foreach (TableRow row in tbl.Rows)
 {
     foreach (TableCell cell in row.Cells)
     {
        foreach (Control ctrl in cell.Controls)
        {
           //CONTROL IS TEXBOXT: EXTRACT VALUES//
            if (ctrl is TextBox)
            {
                TextBox txt = (TextBox)ctrl;
                arrScarpaFigli.Add(txt.Text);
             }
         }
      }
  }

The problem is that, also if I fill the textboxes, in my Text there is always an empty string.
The only moment when I fill the table is on the selectionChange of a Dropdown.
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

A: Storing an instance of Table control in Session is a terrible idea and is just plain wrong. Controls belong to their parent page - they should be added to it as soon as they are created and they should die with their parent page.
The thing with dynamically created controls in ASP.NET is that you have to store an indicator of the fact that they were created (together with relevant information needed to create them again) and recreate them on all subsequent postbacks - no later than in Page_Load. Only then these controls will have the chance of getting their values from Request and you will have the chance of obtaining these values from controls.
In your code, the instance of Table stored in Session (together with all its rows, cells and textboxes) will never reflect any client-side data changes, nor will it belong to Pages that will be created to process subsequent postback requests.
Update
The important fact to understand here is that, after processing the postback caused by ddlScalaTaglie change and returning hew html to the client, the page instance is gone. On next request a new instance of your page is created - and it does not know anything about the fact that the previous instance had table added to its control tree. It is your code in Page_Load that must discover that the form must have this table, and create the table in exactly the same way it was created the first time - with rows, cells and textboxes with exactly the same IDs.
Then, after you add this newly created table to divTaglieRighe.Controls, the textboxes will be able to extract their client-side values from Request.Form collection.

A: You have to recreate dynamic controls on every page load to make sure their values are retained after a PostBack. So you need to create a new Method that handles the creation of the Table every time the page is loaded.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //always create the controls on every page load if there is a value selected in ddlScalaTaglie
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ddlScalaTaglie.SelectedValue))
    {
        createTable(ddlScalaTaglie.SelectedValue);
    }
}

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //use findcontrol to find the Table inside the placeholder
    Table tbl = Page.FindControl("divTaglieRighe").FindControl("Table1") as Table;

    //loop all rows and cells in the Table
    foreach (TableRow row in tbl.Rows)
    {
        foreach (TableCell cell in row.Cells)
        {
            foreach (Control ctrl in cell.Controls)
            {
                //the control is a textbox
                if (ctrl is TextBox)
                {
                    //cast the control back to a textbox
                    TextBox tb = ctrl as TextBox;

                    //does the checkbox have a value, if so append the label
                    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(tb.Text))
                    {
                        Label1.Text += tb.Text + "
";
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

}

protected void ddlScalaTaglie_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //no need to create the Table dynamically, that will be handled in Page_Load
    //this method is just a dummy to trigger a PostBack

    //you could remove this method and the OnSelectedIndexChanged from the DropDown
    //and just keep the AutoPostBack="true", that will also work
}

private void createTable(string value)
{
    DataTable dtRighe = Common.LoadFromDB();

    //create a new table WITH id, that is needed for findcontrol
    Table tbl = new Table();
    tbl.ID = "Table1";

    //loop all rows in the datatable
    foreach (DataRow dr in dtRighe.Rows)
    {
        TableRow tr = new TableRow();

        //ean
        TableCell tcEAN = new TableCell();
        TextBox tbEAN = new TextBox();
        tbEAN.ID = "txtEAN" + dr[0].ToString();
        tbEAN.Width = new Unit(100, UnitType.Percentage);
        tbEAN.Columns = 15;
        tcEAN.Controls.Add(tbEAN);
        tr.Controls.Add(tcEAN);

        //Qty
        TableCell tcQty = new TableCell();
        TextBox tbQty = new TextBox();
        tbQty.ID = "txtQty" + dr[0].ToString();
        tbQty.TextMode = TextBoxMode.Number;
        tcQty.Controls.Add(tbQty);
        tr.Controls.Add(tcQty);

        tbl.Controls.Add(tr);
    }

    //add the table to the placeholder
    divTaglieRighe.Controls.Add(tbl);
}

The aspx to make the example complete
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlScalaTaglie" runat="server" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlScalaTaglie_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="true">
    <asp:ListItem Text="Select..." Value=""></asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Text="Option 1" Value="1"></asp:ListItem>
    <asp:ListItem Text="Option 2" Value="2"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>

<asp:PlaceHolder ID="divTaglieRighe" runat="server"></asp:PlaceHolder>

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Save" OnClick="Button1_Click" />

<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>

A: Make sure the textbox has a "name" for the post back to the controller.
If it does not it grabs a null for the parameter.
Check Request.Form for data returned to controller.

A: You've created a Table called tbl and added two TextBox, then you store Table control in session Session["tbl"] and added to divTaglieRighe control. Finally you are trying to get TextBox data from your session Session["tbl"] table not the ViewState control that added in divTaglieRighe control. You have to get data from you Table tbl control that added in divTaglieRighe control.

Relief Centres
An Emergency Relief Centre (ERC) is a temporary place situated away from the location of the emergency and is only opened if the decision to open an ERC is made by Victoria Police. The location of a relief centre is only advertised to the community after all details of the emergency situation are known. An ERC provides basic services and supports to affected individuals and families. An ERC is not a refuge or recovery centre, it is a place where affected individuals can go to:
get emergency information,
reconnect with their community,
register their details on Register Find Reunite, and
access relief support services to assist with their immediate needs.
An ERC can become very busy, and while staff working in the ERC are there to assist you and your family, it is your responsibility to ensure the safety of any children in your care. Emergency Relief Centres are not ideal for pets and livestock and as you may be separated from them if you bring them. It is best that you include alternatives for your animals when planning for an emergency.
If an ERC is opened, it will be some time after the emergency has started. Notifications about the opening of an ERC is usually done through the VicEmergency App, by tuning your radio to ABC 828AM or 100.7FM or ABC Listen App and through Council channels such as Facebook and our website.
If you are relocating during an emergency you are encouraged to go to family and friends in a location well away from the emergency area.
Register Find Reunite (RFR)
Should you go to an Emergency Relief Centre or if you relocate to another location, you should take the time to register you and your family's details on Australian Red Cross' Register Find Reunite (RFR). By registering on RFR your family and close friends will be able to find out basic information about your safety and whereabouts if they cannot contact you directly.
Recovery Centres
A recovery centre may be opened after a major emergency, depending on the severity, to provide information and referrals to an emergency-affected community.

AEW media scrum highlights: Tony Khan discusses Moxley's passionate promo, experience formatting a show, declares he's aiming for the top (w/Radican questions)
By Sean Radican, PWTorch columnist (Twitter: @SR_Torch)
AEW held a media scrum today ahead of tomorrow's Winter is Coming special edition of Dynamite with AEW President and CEO Tony Khan. The following are the highlights beginning with questions from PWTorch columnist Sean Radican:
(1) Sean Radican: Talk about the quick turnaround from Full Gear to the Winter Is Coming special. You've built up Moxley defending the AEW World Championship vs. Kenny Omega really well in just a short amount of time. They've got history dating back to Moxley's debut at Double or Nothing a couple of years ago that built to their unsanctioned match.
This time there's a twist and it seems like both guys want a wrestling match, but it's personal. We don't know who attacked Moxley and Omega has been condescending in promos. Can you talk about transitioning Omega from the tag division back into a prominent singles star with some of the promo characteristics that people have been looking for as well as the passion Moxley brought out in his promo on Dynamite last week when he said "I love this shit.
Tony Khan: Tony said the build has been there since Double or Nothing 2019. He said they wrestled in an unsanctioned match that didn't even count in their records. He said both guys have had amazing runs since then. Khan said Kenny has been involved so much on Dynamite and he's one of the winningest wrestlers in AEW. Omega has been everything AEW has ever done along with Khan and they are the only two you that can say that.
Tony said nothing has been different for Kenny since his tag team stuff has been in prominent positions. Mentions wrestling against PAC in the Iron Man match and the Eliminator tournament. He said Kenny winning and John beating Eddie Kingston after the last PPV, you couldn't ask for two guys that have so much history.
Khan said it's brought a lot of fire out of both guys and it's special. Khan said it will be a hot match and the rest of the year will be really hot. Khan talks about Moxley's intensity. He said John is the best champion in wrestling and this is his biggest match to date. He said the media being at this conference call shows how big the show is tomorrow.
(2) Sean Radican: Talk about formatting the show and building to so many things so quickly last week. Are you cognizant of keeping people tuned in and moving from segment to segment.
Tony Khan: Khan said he can play around when shows are tape. He mentioned that last weeks show was tape and it went to plan really well. Khan said early it was throwing things against the wall. He said he did things last year that he would smack himself in the head for. He said he learned and tried to make the show exciting.
Tony said the show is great because it appeals to everyone. One thing he likes about Dynamite he likes is that he talks to people and they like different things on the show. People don't just mention the same thing. Tony said when they're live and there's a long match, sometimes things have to change on the fly. Khan said it depends on how many stars you have and how many angles you have. He said you can't cover everything with matches, so you have to find other ways to fit everything into the show.
Khan said people asked him to put things on the format last year that he shouldn't have said yes to. He said he's done a better job editing and putting it together. Khan said he's learned from experience what ideas are going to work and which ones should be edited. Tony said trying to fit as much good stuff in one show is challenging.
Tony said tomorrow's show is going to be challenging to format and you're going to want to ask questions about the formatting after the show tomorrow. Khan said there will be a lot of great wrestling on the show tomorrow.
-Tony is asked if Winter is Coming an alternative to doing multiple PPVs. Tony said they have multiple specials coming including more this month and Beach Break in January.
-Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer asks Tony if he can reveal what spot the Omega vs. Moxley match will be. Khan says it will be the main event. Tony says the show will be more like a PPV card and talks about the big matches on the card. He said if the main event were to go long, TNT will stay with it as long as it takes. Khan said if they don't get to the match with 60 minutes left in the show, the match will take place
-Anything new with Brodie Lee? Khan says he cant comment on Lee not being there, but they are excited to have him soon.
-Dave said it seems like AEW signs 1-2 people new people. Asks how many people can Tony add without subtracting. Khan said he could have made cuts, but hasn't done it because of the pandemic. He said it's hard to get work in the wrestling business and it's hard to use everyone, but at the same time they do need to keep using people and bring them in.
Khan says he's thinking of splitting dark into two shows where one is more developmental and another is established talent. "I believe in the people we are adding," said Khan. Khan referenced WIll Hobbs working through Dark. Tony said its worth singing people because they could turn out to be stars. Khan talks about Top Flight impressing on Dark and then on Dynamite. Also mentioned The Acclaimed. Khan said he had an idea for a team called The Acclaimed and those guys were perfect for it.
-Tony is asked to expand why he is doing Moxley vs. Omega this week instead of the next PPV. Khan said the timing of the PPVs is by design. He said he wants to put big matches on Dynamite because it is their core product and it is their main revenue stream. He wants people to feel on Wednesday night that they're going to see awesome matches.
Khan said he's not a sucker, but he got into wrestling because he saw the revenue stream potential for TV contracts. Khan said they've signed 2 $175 million dollar four year contract. Khan said the business plan was to get that contract and build to huge shows. Khan said this is the biggest match they've had on Dynamite. He said Kenny is the biggest star Moxley has defended against to date.
Khan mentions all the matches Moxley has had with talent in AEW and talks about how Omega is a big star and his biggest opponent to date. Khan said when the TV contracts in wrestling became so large, he thought the biggest matches should be on TV and he talks about specials like Fight for The Fallen and Fyter Fest becoming tradition.
Khan said when he does big cards for $50, he wants the biggest collection of matches he can give people to give them their money's worth. Khan said he will keep putting big matches on Dynamite.
-Tony is asked if being in wrestling has been more difficult or less difficult than he expected. Khan said he's learned a lot on the job. He said some things have been easier and some have been harder. Tony said he hasn't had to let a ton of people go yet and talks about the human side of things. He mentioned again it not being the right time to contract the roster. He said that will be hard. Khan mentions his experience as a GM in the Premier League has helped him with roster management.
–Tony is asked about how the Elite was positioned on TV for the first year. He's asked if there's been an overcorrection. Tony said he doesn't think so because they've all been prominently positioned even though other wrestlers have been pushed.
-Tony is asked about Mike Tyson and Shaq. He is asked if his goal is to bring mainstream respect to wrestling given his status as an executive in the NFL and the Premier League. Tony credits his dad and dumb luck. He said he's meant some powerful friends thanks to his dad, but some of it comes to dumb luck. He mentions he met his partner on a flight and it was a random happening. He said he introduced him to Kevin Riley, who opened the doors at TBS and eventually TNT.
Tony said bringing wrestling back to TNT. Tony said he says a lot of great wrestling has been on TNT and he hopes the show tomorrow is remembered as one of the best wrestling shows on TNT and one of the best episodes on Dynamite. Khan said wrestling has been affected during the pandemic in terms of the presentation. Khan said there will be 1,000 people in the stands in an open air venue where they will be spaced out in pods. They enforce mask wearing and Khan says they haven't had any issues with it. "I'm glad it's working well and there's going to be a real crowd for this." Tony says a lot of the great wrestling shows you've seen in wrestling have had crowds of 1,000 or less.
-Tony is asked if Moxley is going to work at Wrestle Kingdom. Khan says no. Tony is asked if there's been talk of introducing a trios championship. He said if it happens, it will be in 2021. He says he wants to get through 2020 and into Beach Break and moving towards Revolution, but it is something he's been thinking about.
-Tony is asked why Winter is Coming was used. Khan said he wants to build a brand around an episode of Dynamite like FIghter Fest and Fight for the Fallen. Khan said Winter is coming is a huge expression. Khan said he's never watched Game of Thrones. He said his mother watches Game of Thrones and is a huge fan. He knows it's a huge name. Khan said it's hard to get into new shows because he's always so busy and he sticks to South Park and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Tony said it is Warner Media's trademark and they gave him permission to use it. He also said it fits because it is now winter.
Tony said more is ahead including a big Christmas and New Years show plus beach break.
-Tony is asked if he's had talks about airing Dynamite live on ITV in the UK. He said they have a great partnership and he's like to increase their live viewing. Khan said AEW plus has been great for them and the AEW plus version of Dynamite is the best version of the show. Tony said if he was a tape trader, he would want the international version of Dynamite on AEW plus. Tony said it is a great product and it's very affordable at $5 per month.
Tony said before he signed his TV deal he committed millions of dollars to a roster without any American TV revenue, but he knew he would get it and he had a relationship with TNT. He said he knew he could sign big stars and have a big brand. Khan mentions that ITV was his first TV deal.
-Khan is asked about people being excited about bringing back elements of his cleaner persona. Khan is asked if Omega wanted to bring that back or was it Khan's ideas. Khan said Kenny wanted it, but they worked together to start introducing elements of the character.
Khan said he works with everyone on the card. He mentions Ricky Starks asking if he could dress like Darby Allin and it became a reality.
-Khan said they are making a new character out of Miro. He said he doesn't know what he was supposed to be before. He said there's a person in him that is him and not anything they made up in AEW. Khan said he wants people to get to know him better. He references the Miro and Trent video with Excalibur. Khan said he was beaten down so bad in WWE that they're building him back up.
Khan said the guy he signed had been abused for years. He said he will be a huge star in wrestling and he wasn't treated like it for a long time. He said it's a marathon and not a sprint.
-Khan is asked about some heat on Twitter. Khan asks if he got heat or got buzz. He said he got buzz after he said the balance power is shifting and said they did some of their best ratings to date. Khan said he's 100% right in what he said. He said people will see tomorrow that he's right and they will see Thursday when the numbers come in that he's right. Tony says Winter Is Coming in wrestling. Tony said it's shifting in storyline and to the fans. Tony said fans are getting to see more than they've ever seen before. Khan said he's willing to work with other companies and that's why he said the balance of power is shifting. Khan said there's a difference between heat and buzz. He said it was a good kind of heat if it was heat.
Khan is asked about negative feedback on social media. He said he feels really good about it because they've delivered in the ratings and audience numbers. "I can't open my mouth without upsetting some fans." Tony said he expects a really big number for Dynamite this week. "I am aiming for the top. I have great ambition here."
Khan said PAC is a huge star and his return is the first of many exciting moments that will happen on Dynamite.

EPA, DEC Expand Roles of Environmental Management Systems
New York Law Journal
By Michael B. Gerrard
Environmental management systems, though nominally voluntary, are playing an increasing role in the administration and enforcement of environmental laws. In the past three months, three different agencies have released statements that amplify the importance of environmental management systems to companies and their lawyers.
The agencies are the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and the U.S. Sentencing Commission. This column describes the agencies' recent actions and their context.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation defines an environmental management system as "a set of management processes, procedures and auditable performance objectives that allows a facility to continuously analyze, control, and reduce the environmental impact of its activities, products, and services by utilizing pollution prevention measures, performing beyond minimum compliance levels, or integrating sustainable business practices." EPA says that an environmental management system "is a set of processes and practices that enable an organization to reduce its environmental impacts and increase its operating efficiency. An environmental management system helps an organization systematically manage its environmental 'footprint' — — the environmental impact associated with its activities, products and services."
EPA Policy
On May 15, 2002, then-EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman signed the agency's position statement on environmental management systems. She declared that the EPA "will encourage wide spread use of EMS [environmental management systems] across a range of organizations and settings, with particular emphasis on adoption of systems to achieve improved environmental performance and compliance, pollution prevention through source reduction, and continual improvement." The statement also encouraged the use of recognized environmental management frameworks, such as the ISO 14001 standard, as a basis for designing and implementing systems.
One of the several EPA actions furthering this position was the issuance on June 12, 2003 by John Peter Suarez, then head of EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, of "Guidance on the Use of Environmental Management Systems in Enforcement Settlements as Injunctive Relief and Supplemental Environmental Projects." Suarez announced what where EPA determines that "the root cause" of a defendant's violations "is the absence of a systematic approach to identifying, understanding, and managing the regulated entity's compliance with applicable environmental requirements, the appropriate injunctive relief should include an environmental management system with a compliance focus."
In other words, while environmental management systems are ordinarily voluntary, they can be imposed upon certain violators. Additionally, "where EPA discovers that a company has identified and corrected violations through the implementation of an EMS [environmental management system], EPA may consider the implementation of that EMS, along with other case-specific facts, as an example of the defendant's/respondent's good faith efforts to comply." This, in turn, can lead to a reduced penalty.
On April 12, 2004, EPA published "EPA's Strategy for Determining the Role of Environmental Management Systems in Regulatory Programs." It addressed the question of whether - and, if so, how - it may be appropriate to consider environmental management systems in the context of EPA's regulatory structure. EPA reaffirmed that it has no intention of mandating the use of environmental management systems in rules and permits, but it also made clear that incentives to adopt management systems are appropriate. These incentives can be "regulatory alternatives, options, or benefits." To determine the role that environmental management system should play, EPA announced six questions that the EPA is most interested in testing:
1. Can environmental management systems, in tandem with performance standards, achieve better or more efficient regulatory/permitting environmental results than prescriptive operational controls?
2. Can the multimedia analysis that is the hallmark of an environmental management systems support cross-media tradeoffs that achieve higher overall environmental performance and pollution prevention?
3. Under what conditions could regulators rely on management systems in permits and rules to redirect regulatory oversight from lower to higher priority areas?
4. Can system elements improve performance and efficiency by substituting for overlapping administrative and information-gathering requirements in rules and permits?
5. Does incorporating an environmental management system into a permit yield better public involvement procedures and environmental results than traditional permit models?
6. Can the regulated facilities use their environmental management systems to enhance the environmental performance of third parties such as supplies, customers, or environmental quality trading partners?
For each of these questions, the strategy sets forth a number of regulatory situations that might provide answers. One example given for an experiment that tests question three above concerns a hypothetical facility with a strong compliance record that agrees to a permit provision that requires an environmental management system. The permit allows the facility to make certain operational changes and provide notice to EPA simultaneously, rather than submitting those changes to EPA and waiting for the agency to act. The permittee assumes the risk that EPA might find that the changes do not conform to regulatory requirements, but based on its environmental management system and compliance history, EPA concludes that this risk is very small.
The overall message of the strategy is that regulated entities are encouraged to come forward with ways that environmental management systems can help answer these questions, and if the entities do so, they might find they receive greater flexibility or other benefits from EPA or the states.
On May 19, 2004, the U.S. Sentencing Commission published in the Federal Register a notice that it had submitted to Congress a set of amendments to the sentencing guidelines that federal judges use in imposing sentences on organizations that have been convicted of crimes. These amendments respond to §805(a)(2)(5) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which directed the commission to review and amend, as appropriate, the guidelines and related policy statements to ensure that the organizational sentencing guidelines are sufficient to deter and punish organizational criminal misconduct.
Among the pending amendments is an explication of the kind of compliance and ethics program that could lead to a lower sentence in the event of a conviction. The pending amendments do not explicitly deal with environmental management systems, but that is the sort of plan the guidelines appear to have in mind. The new amendments state that "[d]ue diligence and the promotion of an organizational culture that encourages ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance with the law" must include several requirements. Among them are:
• High-level personnel of the organization shall ensure that the organization has an effective compliance and ethics program.
• Specific individuals within the organization must be delegated day-to-day operational responsibility for the program.
• The organization must take reasonable steps to ensure that its program is followed.
An organization's failure to incorporate and follow applicable industry practice or the standards called for any applicable governmental regulation weighs against a finding of an effective compliance and ethics program.
DEC Policy
On April 5, 2004, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Erin M. Crotty promulgated a policy, "Using EMSs [environmental management systems] and Other Environmental Performance Improvement Tools in Department Programs," to encourage the use of environmental management systems in regulatory and enforcement programs.
Commissioner Crotty gave three different department units specific responsibilities under the policy. First, the Pollution Prevention Unit was directed to develop an "Environmental Leadership Program," a voluntary program to recognize "organizations with a commitment to compliance, that have a demonstrated success in improving their performance and preventing pollution, and that commit to continually improve their environmental performance." The policy emphasis that the program "shall be open only to organizations that are able to document their improvements through the use of established performance measures and operate in an open and transparent manner."
Second, the Division of Environmental Enforcement was told to develop options for the use of environmental performance tools in the department's various enforcement programs.
Third, the Division of Operations was given the job of developing a pilot program to demonstrate the use of environmental management system at Department of Environmental Conservation-owned facilities.
For all three kinds of programs, Commissioner Crotty directed that Department of Environmental Conservation programs should focus on promoting management systems that, at a minimum, consider the following:
1. Views of stakeholders (such as facility neighbors and regulated companies)
2. Measurable improvements in performance (to make sure the environmental management systems is achieving its objectives)
3. Credibility (maximize the use of independent professionals to ensure that the systems, and the resulting information and measures, are credible)
4. Public disclosure and communication (critical information must be reported to the public in a manner that is accessible and easily understood)
5. Comprehensive approach (i.e., look at use of raw materials; processes, technology, and facilities employed to fabricate a product; the form in which the finished product is delivered and offered to purchaser; and conditions or terms under which end use occurs.)
6. Integrated approach (i.e., integrate the environmental management systems into the day-to-day operations of the organization, with the active involvement and support of high level management).
In adopting this policy, the department joins the environmental agencies of several other states. The states regularly communicate on environmental management system issues through EPA and through an Arizona-based organization called the Multi-State Working Group.
One of the hallmarks of environmental management systems is that they are voluntary (at least unless they are imposed as part of the resolution of an enforcement case). However, a number of incentives to adopt them have developed.
The sentencing commission's amended rules are an example of the most common incentive - penalty mitigation. Also providing such an incentive to adopt management systems are several EPA policies: "Incentives for Self-Policing: Discovery, Disclosure, Correction and Prevention of Violations;" the "Small Business Compliance Policy"; and the policy on supplemental environmental projects.
A second incentive is public recognition. This is the hallmark of EPA's National Environmental Achievement Track and the Department of Environmental Conservation's proposed Environmental Leadership Program. These allow entities that develop exemplary environmental management systems or otherwise become leaders in achieving, and going beyond, environmental compliance to be publicly acknowledged.
A third incentive is economic. Proponents say environmental management systems often allow companies to operate more efficiently and at lower expense, largely by saving materials and energy, and reducing the cost involved in waste management.
Fourth, adherence to industry standards can be an important issue in a tort suit, and environmental management systems are developing into industry standards in some sectors.
On the flip side, failure to implement a system can lead to higher penalties. The Suarez memo states that "where an EMS [environmental management systems] was in place but violations occurred nonetheless as a result of a lack of management commitment to the process, an upward penalty adjustment to reflect the willfulness or negligence of the violation may be in order."
With each passing year, the reasons to adopt environmental management systems increase. Governments are giving greater incentives to those who have them, and are finding new ways to frown upon those who do not. The strong federal and state support for environmental management systems provide opportunities for those representing regulated entities to attempt to find creative solutions to a number of permitting and enforcement problems. The appendices to EPA's strategy document of April 12, 2004 are a good place to start in looking for examples.

We're Funded!
After a century of community advocacy around a safe crossing for pedestrians and people on bikes over the Ashley River between downtown and West Ashley, it's finally happening!
On November 6, 2019, the City of Charleston was officially awarded $18.149M in federal funding to construct a standalone bike/ped bridge over the Ashley River. With a local match (secured before the application was submitted in July), the total funds for the project come to around $23M, and the scope includes 3 intersection upgrades to ensure safe access to/from the bridge.
In the first couple months of 2020, the City of Charleston is discussing logistics with partner agencies around project management, contracts and funding details. We will share more details following those discussions. Per grant guidelines, we have up to 2 years to break ground. The hope is for the bridge to be completed and open to the public in 2023.
ONGOING PRIORITY
Our Ashley River Bridge Package
Three major bridge sets connect communities across the Ashley River within Charleston County:
the James Island Connector and Wappoo Cut Bridge
the pair of Memorial and Legare Bridges
the North Bridge to Cosgrove Avenue
None of these bridges are currently safe for people on bike or foot. In less than a decade, at least thirteen people have been injured or killed while walking or biking these bridges. As congestion and costs increase, we must have safe options for all modes of transportation.
As many designs have been studied and debated for these bridges for decades, the need for safe crossings only becomes more urgent. Citizens, business owners, and tourists alike want to travel safely between the peninsula, West Ashley, James Island and North Charleston without having to rely solely on motor vehicles. Job and housing security, as well as public safety, depends upon it.
The time to come together and work on all Ashley River crossings together is now. We are talking to elected officials about funding this vital package locally. Please help us by signing our petition, urging the City of Charleston, the City of North Charleston and Charleston County to work together to:
Construct a bicycle and pedestrian bridge immediately south of the existing Legare Bridge, building upon studies already compiled for the recent federal grant application;
Install simple retrofits to the James Island Connector to make the route safe for people on bikes (SCDOT has stated they will not allow pedestrians on the Connector). These retrofits could include lowering and enforcing the speed limit, installing rumble strips to delineate the breakdown lane, and installing signage to direct people on bikes from avoiding conflicts with motorists at exit ramps;
Complete an engineering study to determine the most effective way to retrofit the North Bridge for people on bike and foot. The County has conducted studies showing designs that will not work, so the solution has been narrowed down.
A safe Ashley River crossing for people on bikes and foot has been debated since the 1920s! In the 1980s, Mayor Riley began asserting that the problem should be solved. Real study began in 2010, with examination of a stand-alone bridge, a cantilevered bridge, and ultimately, conversion of the fourth lane for bicycles and pedestrians on the eastbound bridge (the Legare Bridge). The lane conversion on Legare was chosen as the best option, with the project lead being the City of Charleston, and the design included adding a left turn lane for motor vehicles where the bridge touches down at the intersection of Bee and Lockwood.
The Legare lane conversion project timeline went as follows:
Left turn lane groundbreaking (February 12, 2016)
Left turn lane installation (Completed April 1, 2016)
Lane closure test period (February 2 — Early May, 2016)
Charleston County releases test results (June 2016)
Charleston City Council re-affirms support (July 19, 2016)
Charleston County Council requests SCDOT weigh in on structural integrity of the bridge, 60-day deadline (September 20, 2016)
Charleston County Council officially voted to rescind support of the project on August 17, 2017, despite widespread public support (see map below), and at least three major bicycle crashes occurring during the year. The City of Charleston, as project lead, still supported the project, but was ultimately overridden by SCDOT.
Charleston Moves, Charleston County, the City of Charleston and project consultants convened to decide next steps. Consulting engineers asserted that the James Island Connector could not be cantilevered, and that the SCDOT would not allow pedestrians in the Connector's breakdown lane. Project cost estimates of a stand-alone bridge adjacent to the Legare Bridge proved to be similar to a cantilevered design with a stand-alone portion along the bridge's bascule (drawbridge). In October 2017, the City of Charleston and Charleston County approved matching funds ($1.5M and $3M, respectively) for a federal TIGER grant application to fund a stand-alone bike and pedestrian bridge. Charleston Moves helped gather support letters (totaling more than 80) and other documentation to assist with the application. Unfortunately, the grant was not approved.
In July 2018, the City of Charleston and Charleston County recommitted their matching funds for a new round of the federal grant application, now called the BUILD grant. Charleston Moves again assisted with support letters. For the second year, the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) did not select the Ashley River Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge as a priority project for funding. The City of Charleston's memo on the subject states: "Our next step will be to schedule time with the Government Affairs Office of USDOT and the staff who oversaw the BUILD grant review process to understand their decision making and further improve our next application."
West Ashley is the City's largest residential population, and the peninsula is the largest employment center. The route is identified as a priority in the West Ashley Plan, People Pedal CHS, Battery2Beach and the East Coast Greenway.

MPTF Music Family Scholarships Awarded to Five Local 72-147 Families
Five students now attending college this fall whose parents are members of Local 72-147 were recipients this year of a Music Family Scholarship from the recording industry's Music Performance Trust Fund (MPTF).
Students who received scholarships were Elizabeth Drake, daughter of member Mike Drake; Mila Fisher, daughter of member Jonathan Fisher; Elizabeth Ishii daughter of members Susan and Tim Ishii; Sarah Mortenson, daughter of member Kristin Mortenson and Veronica White, daughter of members Willa Henigman and Greg White.
"We are proud that our families being recognized in this way," said Stewart Williams, President at Local 72-147. "With most of our live music events on hold due to COVID-19, this recognition serves as a reminder to us all of the enduring value of music in our lives and society."
The MPTF established this scholarship during a time of great challenge and change to encourage the children of professional musicians, and even the musicians themselves, to pursue higher education and become leaders in their chosen fields. Applicants were encouraged to write an essay describing the impact growing up in a music family has had on their own lives.
"Many themes emerged in the application essays we received – perseverance, passion, contribution, commitment, practice – and we were gratified by everyone's words of optimism and determination," said Dan Beck, MPTF Trustee. "Those selected most uniquely expressed the lessons they've learned from growing up in a music family."
Other scholarships for Union families are available. Applications are currently being accepted for the 2021 Texas AFL-CIO Scholarship Program.


Our mission is to provide quality, professional, relational indexes that will illuminate the author's thesis and facilitate access to information for the reader.
Our pledge is accurate, formatted indexes, delivered by the publisher or author's deadline.
We specialize in academic and scholarly indexing in history and other subjects in the humanities and social sciences.
Other services include light to medium copyediting, local (San Francisco Bay Area) freelance research, and historical fact checking.

In archival description, archivists take large bodies of information, often comprising one hundred or more cubic feet of records or manuscripts, and provide access points that enable researchers to locate the materials that they need. It is a fundamental goal of the archivist to provide access without imposing her own point of view on the descriptive terms and to respect the voice and context of the creator(s) of the papers. This experience provides a unique training in the interpretation of academic works to provide universal access to information through the index while respecting the thesis and voice of the author.

Success Stories from Biographies like Annina DeFrancesca
I have to tell you a VERY special story about how AncientFaces helped to reunite our family. For 13 years, I have been searching for my grandmother's missing sister. She just disappeared from the family in the 1930s without a trace. No one ever knew where or when she died or where she was buried. My years of searching have just run into dead ends, so I had given up. Today, out-of-the-blue, a young lady called me and said that she had seen a photograph on AncientFaces and one of the women in the photo was her grandmother! Little did I know that she had left a small child behind when she died so young of TB. You can imagine our shock and excitement at finding each other and a whole new family that we never knew existed. We only live one state away from each other and very soon plan to have all family members meet to share our sides of "the story" and of course, many, many more picturesl AncientFaces...... without you, this family may never have been complete and Aunt Grace would have been lost to us forever. I hope you realize what a valuable service you provide and how grateful we are to have found you. Thank you!!!! -Lynda B.
I never knew my biological family. My family is my mother and father who raised me. But, as I got older I got curious about my heritage. It took me years of investigation to finally discover my parents' names. Well, I get goosebumps just writing this, I have found my biological family because of AncientFaces. Yes!! I did a search for my [parents' names] and was shocked to find a photo of them on AncientFaces! I cannot tell you the feeling that came over me when I saw this photo - to see the faces of my biological parents…JUST LIKE THAT. I left a comment on the photo and you won't believe this - the owner of the photo is MY SISTER!!! Yes, I have a LITTLE sister! It turns out my parents were too young when they had me and had to give me up. My little sister knew I existed and wanted to find me but had no way of doing it. Thanks to you I am meeting my little sister for the first time next month. GOD BLESS YOU ANCIENTFACES. -Anonymous
We have found our missing relative entirely thanks to AncientFaces. We have received a much clearer photo of Captain Grant from his Son. The picture we on AncientFaces is an old yellowed newspaper photo. I am attaching the new photo and ask that you take the old one out and put the new clear picture in its place. With our Canadian Remembrance Day here in 2 days - the timing could not be better. Thank You, AncientFaces. My long lost Aunt is now 86 years old and her Son and I are talking by phone and e-mails. Captain Grant was his Father and died in France in 1944 and is buried there. By posting pictures of the visit to his gravesite - we connected through one of his brothers. Amazing that our prayers have been answered. Thank you -Beth B.
I came home for lunch yesterday and decided to look at my email before going back to work. The weekly newsletter that I subscribe to from the Logan Family History Center had this message in it about AncientFaces. I clicked on the link and the first search I did was for Woodruff, and Mamie was the first picture that came up. I could hardly stand it. I was late getting back to work. I had to add comments and write to you. Thank you for noticing her in the store and for the website. I can't help but wonder how many other family pictures may have ended up in that store and why. I also can't help but feel that it was meant to be and that there is a purpose that this picture is coming home as you say. What are the chances of this all just happening? It's amazing that you even picked it up at the store and then went to all the extra effort to post it. It makes me feel as though you have been my friend forever. It certainly has given me a connection to you, and I have a love for what you do. I just can't tell you how excited I am. I can't even hold it in. -Cathy K., Utah
I have previously submitted several pictures of my grandfather August Zemidat. I have tried for many years to find anyone with that name, and I have searched many genealogy web sites to no avail. Recently I was contacted by someone who saw my pictures on AncientFaces who may well be a cousin. She also provided me with information that seems to indicate her grandparents were my grandfather's siblings. Considering the many years I have been searching for the name Zemidat, I find this is absolutely amazing that I have finally found a family member. Thank you AncientFaces -Ron D.
I love AncientFaces, a while back I saw that you had labeled Garcia surname pictures. At the time I didn't have all my family facts for my research. Anyway, I wandered into your site just to check it out AND NOW 1 YEAR LATER I received a picture from an 87 year old aunt and guess what you had this very same picture on your site!! (They were my great aunts and my great-grandmother!). Thank you… -Angela M.
I have loved AncientFaces since I first found it, it's the first thing I check when I turn on the computer. There was a time when even in the most modest households there were three cherished possessions, a family Bible. a family album and a fancy lamp. It was usual for the family to gather in the parlour, generally on Sunday and talk, tell stories of family and friends with the photos in the albums as illustration. Sadly in our modern electronic age we have fallen away from the oral tradition and interest in history has waned. I was quite shocked on the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic to see so many comments from younger people who were surprised to learn that the Titanic wasn't just a movie. This is why AncientFaces is so important, to me it's the electronic age version of the oral tradition on a global scale and the sheer volume of people who follow, comment and contribute seems to prove the point. We are all grateful to you all for providing us with this wonderful site. - Arba M.

I remember Dean as a super, nice guy. May he rest in peace.
Dean was one of the nicest, friendliest guys I've known. I had a lot of classes with him at Morton and even one at U of I, but we lost touch until reconnecting in recent years through this great website. I always remember him for his easy laugh and the big grin on his face. Rest in peace, Dean.
Thanks for posting Glen. I will see you in Chicago in a couple of weeks. Dean and I go way back. I recently posted a picture (which I got from Dean of course) of he and I at his house when we were maybe 4. Elm school, Morton, and then U of I together. And many trips and visits since. The latest in Scottsdale this past winter where we even got in a Blackhawks game.
Not sure how to sum things up, and don't want to write a book, but among the most memorable traits of Dean was his deep dives into anything that actually caught his interest. When I worked in the investment biz, he would call with the most arcane questions about some nuance of finance. I'd ask around the Street and usually just give up. Want to have a trivia question about opera? My money would be on Dean. And then there was wine. (red, of course. White is just for pool parties.) Robert Parker had nothing on Dean.
And on that note, I think I'll drink that last Tignanello in my cellar, and raise a glass to my old buddy.
Dean was a great guy, terrific sense of humor. So sad to see him leave us so soon.
Thanks, Glen, for letting us all know. Dean was a great guy.
I was so sorry to hear about Dean. I remember him being a very nice and friendly guy!
Dean was a good friend in HS. Always friendly and always ready to talk sports whether it was the Cubs or Morton West sports. Sorry to hear of his passing.
Here is a link for Dean's service information. His brother Brian, is married to my cousin Patricia.
so sorry to hear of Dean"s passing. May he R.I.P. Sending prayers to his wife and family.
Dean was a great guy..Rest in peace.

G. A. Mack, Tinney, C. E., and Ruf, J. H., "RELIABLE METHODS FOR PREDICTING THE SOUND FROM CLUSTERED ROCKET NOZZLES," 15th European Turbulence Conference. Delft, The Netherlands, 2015.
High area ratio rockets generate strong vibro-acoustic loads primarily during transient operations, like start-up and shut-down of the engine. These loads can adversely affect the launch vehicle and its payload. Thus, an accurate prediction of the loads produced during engine start-up is pertinent to the safety and reliability of the launch vehicle. The present work focuses on developing a robust framework for predicting these loads using laboratory scale rocket nozzles tested in the fully anechoic chamber at The University of Texas at Austin. This encompasses corrections for the observer position relative to the prominent source region, as well as scaling factors to correct for geometric factors. The test campaign encompasses single, two, three and four nozzle clusters, as well as differences in nozzle geometry and operating conditions (nozzle pressure ratio).
