List of Coronation Street characters (2005)

The following is a list of characters that first appeared in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street in 2005, by order of first appearance.

Robyn Platt

Robyn is the girlfriend (and later wife) of Martin Platt. She made her first appearance on 23rd September 2005 and made her last appearance on 9th November 2005. She was portrayed by Claire Calbraith.

In September 2005, Robyn makes her first appearance at a costume party with Martin. However, the actress who portrayed her, Claire Calbraith, was uncredited although it still counted as her first appearance.

A month later, in October 2005, Robyn reappeared and she and Martin begin a relationship. However, Robyn was thinking Martin was stringing her along and she dumped him at the Rovers Return Inn over her suspicions but eventually got back together with him that same month and year.

Martin began to reject his son, David, for Robyn and at 8 Coronation Street, which was holding a farewell bombfire for Martin and Robyn, who were leaving for a new life in Liverpool in November 2005, David figured out that Martin wanted Robyn and not him. Both David's mother (Martin's ex-wife), Gail Potter and Robyn were furious with Martin for rejecting David. When Martin realized his coldness toward his son, he decided to make it up to him by spending time with him, but David rejected his father. However, he and Martin reconciled before he departed for Liverpool with Robyn. David tells Robyn to take good care of his dad; Robyn replies that she will.

Yana River

The Yana River (Russian: Я́на; IPA: [ˈjanə]), is a river in Sakha in Russia, located between the Lena to the west and the Indigirka to the east.

It is 872 kilometres (542 mi) long, while the upper Yana is 1,320 kilometres (820 mi) long. Its drainage basin covers 238,000 square kilometres (92,000 sq mi), and its annual discharge totals approximately 25 cubic kilometres (20,000,000 acre·ft). Most of this discharge occurs in May and June as the ice on the river breaks up. The Yana freezes up on the surface in October and stays under the ice until late May or early June. In the Verkhoyansk area, it stays frozen to the bottom for 70 to 110 days, and partly frozen for 220 days of the year.

The river begins at the confluence of the rivers Sartang and Dulgalakh. As the Yana flows into the Yana Bay of the Laptev Sea, it forms a huge river delta covering 10,200 square kilometres (3,900 sq mi). Yarok is a large flat island located east of the main mouths of the Yana.

There are approximately 40,000 lakes in the Yana basin, including both alpine lakes formed from glaciation in the Verkhoyansk Mountains (lowlands were always too dry for glaciation) and overflow lakes on the marshy plains in the north of the basin. The whole Yana basin is under continuous permafrost and most is larch woodland grading to tundra north of about 70°N, though trees extend in suitable microhabitats right to the delta.

Yana (Buddhism)

Yāna (Sanskrit and Pāli: "vehicle") refers to a mode or method of spiritual practice in Buddhism, and in particular to divisions of various schools of Buddhism according to their type of practice.

Nomenclature, etymology and orthography

In form, yāna is a neuter action noun (comparable to an English gerund) derived from the Sanskrit root yā- meaning "go" or "move", using any means of locomotion, by land or sea. Hence it may be translated "going", "moving", "marching, a march", "riding, a ride", "travelling, travel", "journey" and so on.

The word came to be extended to refer to any means used to ease or speed travel: hence such meanings as "vehicle", "carriage", "vessel", "wagon", "ship", and so on, depending on context. "Vehicle" is often used as a preferred translation as the word that provides the least in the way of presuppositions about the mode of travel.

In spiritual uses, the word yāna acquires many metaphorical meanings, discussed below.

Teaching story and metaphor

In the Mahāparinibbāna Sutta (1.33-34), Shakyamuni Buddha relates a profound teaching story on vehicles of conveyance utilizing the sacred river Ganges, all of which may be engaged as a metaphor for yana and a gradual or direct path:
