unresolved issues for jan 1 . - followup
here is a followup to the memo sent on 12 / 31 / 99 . fyi
enron field services - has not been nominated since september 99 . have we
stopped doing business on this pipe ? ( just an fyi - ? ) do we need to get
this assigned ? i can find old
notes and try to get this pathed if necessary . someone just needs to let
me know . unresolved - appears to be unassigned ?
lavaca expense transport - this is offsystem gas that hplc transports for
ena . ena has no nom at meter 1000 in pops for jan 1 . unresolved
midcon texas pipeline - there were deals left unpathed for jan 1 ( and
dec ? ) . i brokered and nominated the obvious but we seem to have 10 , 000 with
transport contract to move this gas on and no sale to broker to . as it
stands , it looks like we have a long position . who is this assigned to ? i
thought carlos was handling this one , but i could be wrong . unresolved
channel industries pipeline - several issues here :
1 . all deals with the exception of the long term transport expense were left
unpathed for jan 1 . i viewed prior month transactions and pathed
appropriately . someone
needs to review for accuracy . also , there were deals that went to zero ,
that were nominated for january . resolved but needs to be verified .
2 . we still do not have enough supply to meet our sales requirement . this
issue has been left unsresolved since october 99 . volume management cannot
allocate was is
not pathed and nominated . unresolved or unpathed ?
3 . there is a transaction for january that is once again not on our point
specific transport contracts . ( rec mtr 1 - 6366 10 , 000 to del mtr 2 - 6203
10 , 000 ) . this is a pathed pipeline . we have no rate . we need to know the
rate and whether one of the expense contracts needs to be amended for this
transaction , we are not legally covered . carlos was handling this pipe in
dec . who is this assigned to for jan ? unresolved
hpl operational - this shipper on hpl has been left unpathed for december
and january 1 . who is this assigned to ? this can wait until we get back
next week . if it is left unresolved , i will get it pathed when i return .
i haven ' t had time to do this yet . if we haven ' t figured out the assignement
then i will get to it asap . | scam | en |

"::[Update] In reading over Professor Salmon's Introduction to Logic and Critical Reasoning, I have found a passage which appears quite clearly to support my position that UD's example is an ad hominem (as opposed to an argument from authority). Professor Salmon analyzes a dispute between two scientists, using it to give practical examples of informal fallacies. Consider the following example:
:::""Dr. Alvarez responds by saying that he considers Dr. Clemens inept at interpreting sedimentary rock strata and that his criticisms can be dismissed on grounds of general incompetence, a charge Dr. Clemens rejects.""
:: Professor Salmon classifies this example as an ""abusive ad hominem,"" (p. 125) and it appears to be of the same form as UD's example: i.e. (1) X says Y. (2) X is incompetent. (3) Therefore, ~Y.
:: I believe that this really ought to put the matter to rest, unless someone can find a source supporting Mr. Richfield's position (in which case it might be helpful to include both views, while noting the dispute).

"== Symbolism in ""The Pebble and The Penguin"" ==
If you ask me, this movie has a lot of symbolism in it. The pebble is basically a symbol of divine love, which helps Hubie to become more confident in himself and stand up to the cruel and vicious Drake. It should be noted that it's Hubie, who is meek and innocent, who receives the pebble initially, not Drake - in other words, nice guys finish first. Drake tries to steal the pebble, but it doesn't work out so well for him. Furthermore, Marina's name is symbolic - it is derived from ""marine"", which refers to the ocean. Since the ocean is extremely important to a penguin, Marina is effectively a symbol of life itself. There's more, but I'd have to actually watch the movie to pick it up - I've only listened to the songs on YouTube... So, what do you think? " | toxic | en |

==Bacon's Rebellion==
Hello Dmcdevit. Thanks for the request to do something about the above. I have attempted to get it down to a reasonable length and have also learnt a lot about this event in so doing. I have made a comment on the discussion page of the article giving my reason for the manner in which I tackled it. I have a set of Collier's Encyclopaedia which gave me a much less detailed account of the Rebellion, so could see the wood for the trees (and no I didn't do anything illegal!!). I'd be glad of your comments on the result. I wasn't sure about a picture though? | toxic | en |

== Arbeit Macht Frei ==
Hrvatski pisac Giancarlo Kravar: Nije Adolf Hitler rekao da novac, već da ""Rad oslobađa"" (""Arbeit Macht Frei""). I u tome je u pravu. Zato jer je rad stvorio čovjeka, samo što je neprimjereno da je tu parolu stavio na ulaz koncentracijskih logora. Treći Reich je bio prva država u svijetu u kojoj je Međunarodni praznik rada 1. maj bio slavljen kao državni praznik. Usprkos tome što je jedan od najvećih zločinaca, tom tezom o radu, Hitler je zaslužio pozitivnu filozofsku ocjenu u povijesti čovječanstva. " | toxic | en |

subject : columbia gulf order on negotiated rates
i received a copy of an order issued by the ferc on columbia negotiated rate transaction , which includes a formula ie indexed rate . they accepted the negotiated rate deal but they are requiring them to file in their tariff within one day after the rate has been determined the contract and actual rate . ( each time the actual rate changes during the term ) just think about this for the upcoming tw _ usgt deal and nng " - reliant deals . notwithstanding the time to actually make the filing , the cost to serve it each day if the negotiated rate is different by day and then the service when an order is issued each day - - - i believe this is ferc ' s way to attempt to eliminate negotiated rate indexed based deals - they are punishing themselves as well , as each filing will require a notice etc - so every day they could need to issue an order .
i feel we need to discuss with columbia , ingaa and join in filing for rehearing on this administrative nightmare . an alternative would be to require you to post on internet website the day of the transaction the actual rate , so similarly situated customers would have access to the actual rate . i ' m sending you guys a copy of the order . | scam | en |

Wikipedia supports Safari 7. I was just giving an example where a new version would be more helpful. YouTube just made a change to HTML5 video by default. This is only supported in Safari 8. HTML5 is a smaller download, thus videos would load faster. Again, an example where a newer version of a browser would be more helpful. Nobody supports an unsupported browser. This is a common practice because of security and manpower. It would be irresponsible to support an unsecure platform. It also costs more to keep unsupported version going and nobody is going to waste manpower for that. Currently a Mac OS version is only supported for ~4 years. 10.6 was last to have support dropped. Sorry, but it is not remotely reasonable for anyone to support 10.6 now. You choose a Mac, you knew you will pay more for a Mac and have shorter support times. At the end of the year, Microsoft is dropping support for all browsers except for IE 11 and above. At that point, sites will start yanking out code supporting anything earlier than 2013 browsers. This is just the way of computer life. | toxic | en |

Yellow Evan block
I'm sorry if I'm putting this in the wrong area but I am replying to your comment to Yellow Evan on his block. It's sort of awkward. I am Yellow Evan's mother. I hope you might have suspected this but he is not an adult. He's still several years short of getting his driver's license, in fact. I am truly sorry for any problems he has caused and I fully understand why he keeps getting blocked. But please also understand a lot of this is just ignorance willful ignorance, but ignorance. I have been sitting by his side for the past week and trying to supervise his contributions. Even so I'm not quite sure what he has done wrong and I know he doesn't, fully. Since he is really not mature enough emotionally to be doing this, I have made a deal with him not to do any editing at least until Christmas break. Hopefully I will be able to extend this further. I really think he will be able to contribute a lot when he is older and has better communication skills. If you could let other users know this too. I'm sure you all have been very patient with him but I thought it might be helpful for you to know the true situation. | toxic | en |

That does not change the fact that those ELs are in violation of WP:EL because they are private hobby sites full of biased data collections. You are trying to change the subject, that's all. Those sites are a violation of WP policy, quite simple. And I have not gotten any good argument why they are not such violation.

Your comments on my talk page
You make a couple of incorrect assumptions. Firstly I did not support the editor you referred to because I believe he was right. I thought he was editing in good faith and deserved an opportunity to learn more about WP:V. Your second incorrect assumption is that there is some relationship between evolution and religion. Evolution and religion really have nothing to do with each other, and trying to introduce religion into science articles will always come into conflict with WP:NPOV. As for editing, you are welcome to edit any article. You will only get into trouble if you continue to insert the same edits if your edits are reversed. This is called edit warring, and you can read more about these rules at WP:3RR. You will always have more chance of your edits remaining if you have good sources for them, but these rules are less stringently applied for non-controversial subjects, and I suggest you start editing on some of these articles. For instance you might like to try editing articles on your hobby, or your home town. Good luck with your endeavours on Wikipedia. | toxic | en |

option visualization
vince and stinson ,
i did some reserach on the option visualization . here is one of the findings .
check this web site , the image looks impressive : http : / / home . online . no / ~ espehaug / virtualworld / virtualoptionworld . html
this is done through a free software livegraphics 3 d and mathematica .
take a look of the demo on the web site mentioned above to see if it is good enough for our purpose .

ps :
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
what is livegraphics 3 d ?
livegraphics 3 d is a non - commercial java 1 . 1 applet to display and
rotate three - dimensional graphics produced by mathematica in
html pages . it may be used without charge for any
non - commercial purposes . mathematica is a program for symbolic
and numeric mathematics by wolfram research , inc . . wolfram
research is also responsible for licensing livegraphics 3 d for
commercial purposes .
livegraphics 3 d enables all mathematica users to put almost any
three - dimensional graphics computed by mathematica directly onto
a html page , such that everyone with a web browser supporting
java 1 . 1 ( e . g . communicator 4 . 0 or internet explorer 4 . 0 or higher )
can view and interactively rotate the graphics without any additional
software .
additionally livegraphics 3 d is able to show animations , calculate
stereo graphics , integrate hyperlinks , and display bitmap

It's now clear from the evidence presented by ALoan, that this page was legitimately moved to River Plate in Nov 2004 after it was nominated on Requested Moves, and that the move of this page to Río de la Plata contravened the normal procedures, reversing the previous legitimate move. Therefore we should not be accepting the controversial move to Río de la Plata as a fait accompli and should really be discussing a move from what was the status quo - i.e. River Plate to Río de la Plata. As a consequence the 60% majority normally required for a move to River Plate should be ignored and only 40% of the vote should be required to restore this page to what was the status quo. I cannot believe anyone with any sense of fair play could legitimately defend the position of making a controversial move and then having a vote on whether to keep the new name where the balance lies in its favour, it is just not the Wiki way. | toxic | en |

I recently corrected ""Brabantic"" with ""Brabantian"", which was quickly replaced with the old term.
Maintaining the use of ""Brabantic"" will make it no less proper English than, say, using ""Croatic"" for ""Croatian"".
Compare also the French translation: brabançon.
I believe that it is imperative that one use the proper English names and terms in the English pages.
The language possesses many of its own variants for foreign names and terms, and this certainly includes those from the Netherlandic language as well.
Several examples from incorrect usage on this page and the page ""Dutch Language"":
Brabants > Brabantian
Zeeland > Zealand*
Zeeuws > Zealandic
Zeeuwsch-Vlaanderen** > Zealandic Flanders
* The Danish Sjælland is also known in English as Zealand.
** The proper Netherlandic orthography: the spelling is not modernized.
Just as we expect that an Hindi speaker uses ""India"" in place of ""Bharat"" in the English pages, let's be consistent in our own use the appropriate language." | toxic | en |

dhabol
jeff ,
we shall forward to you shortly a copy of the message from sandeep with the
numbers you have
requested . what follows below are the extracts from two recent articles on
the power situation in india
published by the financial times .
the first article describes recent power outage in northern india affecting
millions of people .
one possible line of defense is pointing out to the value of output lost due
to power
shortages . it is obvious that the value of lost production exceeds the cost
of power produced
by the dhabol plant ( expensive as it may be ) . the power cut affected 230
million people .
the second article is enron specific .
vince
asia - pacific : power failure hits north india
financial times ; jan 3 , 2001
by angus donald
tens of millions of people were left without electricity
in northern india
yesterday after a power grid breakdown .
electricity was gradually switched on in some areas and
most parts of the
capital new delhi , with 60 to 70 per cent of supply
expected to be restored
by the end of the day , according to power grid
officials .
the associated chambers of commerce and industry
( assocham ) , a
leading business organisation , expressed " deep concern "
and called for a
mechanism to prevent future disruption that could
" cripple the economy " .
the power failure across eight indian states , including
new delhi , disrupted
train services , water supplies and the telephone network
and forced
hospitals to switch to emergency generators .
the fault occurred on the northern grid , which provides
electricity for 226 m
people , and affected the states of delhi , haryana ,
punjab , uttar pradesh ,
himachal pradesh , madhya pradesh , rajasthan and jammu
and kashmir .
a breakdown at a sub - station in kanpur in uttar pradesh ,
india ' s most
populous state , caused an overload of power on other
lines , which then
failed as well .
trains stopped running for most of the day and signals
systems were
damaged . new delhi international airport was also
slightly affected before
its own power supply could be engaged .
" we will probe into the reasons for the failure . it is
most likely to be a
technical failure , but we will investigate why it
happened , " suresh prabhu ,
the power minister , was quoted as saying by press trust
of india .
india suffers regularly from power problems because of
lack of funding to
upgrade infrastructure . theft of supplies is also a big
problem . thirty per
cent of the country ' s electricity is stolen , according
to analysts . in new
delhi as much as 50 per cent is stolen .
two years ago , a power failure blacked out uttar pradesh
and delhi for
hours .
assocham issued a statement , saying that increasing
industrial demand
would exacerbate the problems already faced by india ' s
inefficient power
sector . " the slow progress , particularly in
strengthening the transmission
and distribution system , and ever increasing theft will
contribute to
worsening the power supply situation further . "

by khozem merchant
enron , the us energy producer and a constant target of
criticism in india , is
hitting back with a campaign to reverse its image as a
profiteering
multinational .
its " myth and reality " offensive in local newspapers
follows the west indian
state of maharashtra ' s decision to review the tariff it
pays the texas - based
company , whose dollars 2 . 2 bn electricity generating
plant at dabhol is
india ' s biggest single foreign investment .
maharashtra ' s tariff has more than doubled since 1993
and is three times
greater than that charged by other independent power
producers ( ipps ) .
the tariff has risen because of the depreciation of the
rupee against the
dollar and the high but now falling price of naphtha
fuel . the state also pays
a fixed capacity charge of rs 970 m ( dollars 21 m ) a month ,
reflecting the
huge project cost and , controversially , irrespective of
consumption .
a showdown looks inevitable , reminiscent of a clash six
years ago that
damaged india ' s appeal to foreign investors . a former
official of the world
bank , which has criticised the deal , says enron is
emerging " as the east
india company of the 21 st century " - a reference to the
british trader that
colonised key areas of the indian economy in the 19 th
century .
the stand - off is the latest blot on india ' s power
sector . the uk ' s powergen
and cogentrix of the us have quit india recently ,
frustrated by long approval
procedures , inadequate payments mechanisms or because of
higher
returns elsewhere .
" india has lost time and opportunity and has driven
returns down by six
percentage points , " says gerry grove - white , former india
general manager
of powergen , which has sold its 655 mw plant in gujarat
to china light &
power of hong kong .
india ' s national plan for the five years to 2002 says
generating capacity
must rise by 40 , 000 mw to about 120 , 000 mw . but since
1992 , ipps have
added only 3 , 000 mw and 2 , 500 mw remains under
construction . this is
insufficient to support official projections of 6 to 8
per cent economic
growth .
enron was a bellwether of india ' s liberalisation ,
winning fast - track project
approval in the early 1990 s . phase 1 , a 740 mw plant
fuelled by expensive
naphtha came on stream in may 1999 , and phase 2 , a
dollars 1 . 87 bn plant
of 1 , 624 mw capacity that will run on cheaper liquefied
natural gas ( lng ) ,
will be completed this year . only two of seven other
fast - track proposals
have achieved financial closure .
from the outset enron encountered attacks , culminating
in maharashtra ' s
then nationalist government cancelling the project
before renegotiating
terms no less onerous . vilasrao deshmukh , chief minister
of the successor
government , says the power purchase agreement is
unaffordable .
enron , whose attackers also include cultural
chauvinists , wants to maintain
good political relations in a hostile but lucrative
environment . enron views
india as a testing ground for its evolution from a
traditional manager of
power plants to a broad - based trader of commodities ,
such as energy , gas
and bandwidth .
to support these ambitions enron hopes to trade energy
between power
surplus and deficit states , once legislation is passed
this year . it is building
an lng terminal and pipelines to trade imported natural
gas . and it is
laying a 15 , 000 km fibre - optic network to trade bandwidth
space in a country
desperately short of this new economy commodity .
in any event , enron believes it has a watertight
contract . it is supported by
many that believe any subversion of the contract would
confirm investor
perception of maharashtra , india ' s financial and
industrial hub , as an
unreliable destination for investment .
mr deshmukh - who has avoided the language of his
predecessor , which
threatened to " dump dabhol into the arabian sea " - is
under pressure from
radical members of his wobbly coalition . but his options
are limited .
scrapping the project would be ruinous for an
economically troubled state
that would have to compensate shareholders .
maharashtra state electricity board , the local utility
and enron ' s main
client , is obliged to dispatch or " off - take " 90 per cent
of dabhol ' s output . yet
mseb has never honoured these guarantees . its off - take
has averaged 60
per cent since the plant opened and , in effect , mseb has
been paying a lot
more while consuming a lot less power .
one reason off - take is low is because the state ' s tough
new regulator has
told mseb to buy from cheaper sources . enron says the
tariff would be
rs 4 . 02 / kwh if mseb ' s off - take averaged 90 per cent . but
with off - take a
third lower , the average tariff is rs 4 . 94 per unit , and
often higher . in
october , the tariff was rs 6 . 91 per unit , when off - take
was about 49 per
cent . enron says tariffs should come down when phase 2 ,
run on cheaper
lng , starts .
these cost pressures have forced mseb to take up only
half of a 30 per
cent equity option in phase 2 . enron has acquired the
balance and
mandated bankers to find a buyer .
enron ' s difficulties have undermined the appeal of ipps ,
which have failed to
deliver the flood of investments . potential ipps feared
they would never be
paid by state generating boards that have become a
byword for corrupt
management of power .
reform of state electricity boards , whose uneconomic
pricing means
industrial users subsidise poor farmers , as well as
transmission and
distribution ( t & d ) services to check huge theft and
technical losses , is
overdue . " given the limited resources , money would be
better spent on t & d
rather than on new plant , " says oliver blackaby ,
managing director of n m
rothschild in india , which is advising karnataka on the
privatisation of its
distribution network .
for the moment , attention is fixed on enron ' s ability to
satisfy the
competing interests of investors and clients . as sanjay
bhatnagar , chief
executive officer of enron india , said in a recent trade
magazine , one of the
key lessons learned from phase 2 is " having flexibility
to deal with
externalities " .

No. There is no need to add a ""short version"" to the intro. The intro, which is 4 paragraphs should summarize the article. (talk) " | toxic | en |
"
Well, I am not calling it ""essay"", because at first sight the text seemed quite encyclopedic to me, and the word ""rant"" refers to form, not content. mikka (t)
Agree with Mikka. I see that someone is making an attempt to salvage portions of the essay. I don't think that that's necessary, since just about all the points brought up in it are already better covered in more specialized articles, particularly collectivisation in the USSR.
As I said above, I pared down the essay/rant in the ""Rise to Power"" section (Mikka removed the same editor's ""essay"" about Collectivization, quite rightly, as it's well covered in the relevant article). I also said that it's debatable if it needs to be there at all, even in the ""pared-down"" version. I'm reluctant to remove someone's whole contribution, especially when they are a new editor, as I don't want to discourage new editors; but if the consensus feeling is that it should all go, then so be it. Incidentally, regarding ""form"", when I looked at the mark-up behind the ""essay"" it showed that the editor had separated it into paragraphs by indenting the separate paras, rather than leaving blank-lines, so it was just a case of a new-editor not being familiar with the correct way to format paragraphs, and ending up with one long para, hence looking like a ""rant"". Also, new editors tend not to be familiar with the idea of keeping to the salient points and wiki-linking to in-depth articles. talk|contribs " | toxic | en |

As the legislative season ends, it is vitally important to gather
support for legislation that will be center-stage in the next session.
This is an opportunity to ask your representative to take a stand for
your rights. Ask her/him to co-sponsor the DMCRA today!
Representatives Rick Boucher and John Doolittle recently introduced
the Digital Media Consumers' Rights Act (DMCRA, H.R. 5544), which
would require labelling on usage-impaired "copy-protected" compact

* ALERT: Bait and Switch; Anticounterfeiting Bill Hurts Your Rights!
Don't be fooled by Senator Biden's "Anticounterfeiting Amendments of
2002" (S. 2395, also known as "the Biden Bill"). It started as an
attempt to stop organized crime from forging holograms and
counterfeiting money, but its scope has been greatly expanded to
include digital watermarks on copyrighted material. This is a sneaky
power-grab that would greatly diminish the rights of the public in
copyrighted works while expanding the power of copyright owners. It
goes well beyond the scope of current copyright law and could:
~ Prevent universities, libraries, and consumers from enjoying the
exceptions to the Copyright Act adopted by Congress. S. 2935 could
prohibit the use of interface information essential for software
interoperability and competition
~ Impose new responsibilities on Internet service providers and could
also require consumer electronics and computer manufacturers to
reconfigure their products.
~ Impose more severe criminal and civil penalties than permitted by
the Copyright Act for identical behavior
This "anticounterfeiting" bill is a decoy; stand up for your rights
today! Subscribe to the EFF Action Center and send your member of

* Canadian Trademark Law Overreaching
EFF has been involved in several cases involving overreaching
trademark claims on the Internet. Recently we have learned about a
Canadian lawsuit over the website www.lawsnet.com, a nonprofit legal
information website focusing on the laws of Canada and China that seem
especially egregious.
Lawsnet.com is a free legal information website that has been
published since 1998. Last year, Lawsnet.com's owner Ling Xia was sued
by Quicklaw, a subsidiary of global publishing giant LexisNexus Group.
Quicklaw claims that Lawsnet.com violates its rights in the name
LAW/NET. However, LAW/NET does not have a public Internet website
under that domain name. The name appears on a subsidiary webpage of
the Quicklaw.com website that offers public "teasers" in the form of
summaries of recent Canadian cases, with the full text only available
through the private, proprietary paid Quicklaw service for Canadian
lawyers. It seems clear that the two names are substantially
different, are used in different places (one as a teaser for a closed
computer service and the other for information freely available on the
public internet) and are not causing any consumer confusion. Even more
problematic, Quicklaw does not even have a Canadian trademark in the
term LAW/NET -- it applied for one in 1997 but has repeatedly filed
requests for extensions of time with the Canadian trademark
authorities. In contrast, Ms. Xia is in the final stages of having a
Canadian trademark issued for "lawsnet."
Regardless of its weak case, Quicklaw has managed to drag Ms. Xia
through over a year of litigation and recently succeeded in securing a
court order requiring her to undergo an extensive "discovery" process
that threatens to drive her under. Although she has had some free
legal assistance in the past, this next phase will require
significantly more legal resources than her volunteer attorneys can
muster. Quicklaw is represented by a large Toronto firm, Borden Ladner
and Gervais, LLP.
Abuse of trademark law (even here, when no official trademark has even
been granted) is a growing problem on the Internet, and it is
unfortunately becoming an international problem. EFF urges Quicklaw,
and its US-based parent company, to stop beating up on this free and
useful website. While trademark law is important when misuse of a mark
is causing consumer confusion, it does not -- and should not -- grant

== the owner of a statue ==
such as the one of the good admiral N, does not own the rights to a picture of the work. The sculptor, or his heirs own it. This is because the United States (the demon to your south) does not have freedom of panorama, among things. also, don't forget to type four of these things ` after your messages to sign them. It's hardcore wikipedia etiquette. | toxic | en |
":Basically, that sounds fine, except for some changes I propose:
1) 2nd sentence: add ""a record for the longest continuous sea voyage, without resupply or landing at a port.""
2) 3rd sentence: change to ""Upon landing at Pier 81 in Manhattan, he was met by family and friends, by his girlfriend Soanya Ahmad and their infant son, and by the press.""
I am not sure if ""greet"" is the right word here, especially since the infant son probably just stared at him!
3) Since the NY Times reference you give was written the day before the landing, I would suggest two additional references written after the arrival, one from aol.com News and the other from the Associated Press (hosted by google.com).
a) NYC man returns from 3-year sea voyage
b) Man Credits 'Love' in Record 3-Year Trip at Sea
I agree with placing the text at the end of the intro, with the full text as follows:
On June 17, 2010, Reid Stowe sailed the schooner Anne up the Hudson river and docked in New York. The total voyage time was 1,152 days, a record for the longest continuous sea voyage, without resupply or landing at a port. Upon landing at Pier 81 in Manhattan, he was met by family and friends, by his girlfriend Soanya Ahmad and their infant son, and by the press.NYC man returns from 3-year sea voyageMan Credits 'Love' in Record 3-Year Trip at SeaA Record-Smashing Sea Journey, and Not for Its Speed
How is that?
